Australian Defence Force Sport
The ADF Sports Cell, in collaboration with the three Services, sets the strategic direction for sport in the ADF. This creates an environment for all ADF members to participate and benefit from sport as a competitor, coach or administrator, and recognises the inherent connections between sport, exercise, health and the overall wellbeing of ADF personnel.
Due to travel and health restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, events have been reduced over the past 12 months. The ADF Sports Cell continues to consider opportunities to recommence activities.
Sport in Defence
Sport in Defence can take many forms. There are various pathways that include participation in civilian sport through to representing your Service and the ADF at national and international levels. Each service has a Sports Council to manage their respective sports programs. At the ADF joint level, sport is managed by the ADF Sports Cell through three main programs:
Conventional Sports Program
The Conventional Sports Program is comprised of 29 ADF Sports Associations, with an estimated membership of 8,500 serving ADF personnel.
Each Association is managed by a committee similar to that of civilian sports associations. There are approximately 140 ADF Sports Association committee members.
The Associations build capacity, promote sport within the ADF and ensure that Sports Associations are appropriately meeting the needs of the ADF demographic now and into the future.
ADF Sports Associations normally conduct an Inter-Service carnival annually. Associations need to meet various criteria before being recognised as an ADF Sport
ADF Adaptive Sports Program
The ADF Adaptive Sport Program is a multi-sport program for wounded, injured or ill serving and former serving military personnel and includes both domestic and international events.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for serving and former serving ADF members interested in being considered for competitor positions in the 2022–23 Adaptive Sports Program closed 30 September 2021.
Please note, the Australian team for Invictus Games the Hague 2022 is already selected and is made up of members from the team who qualified for the postponed 2020 games. As a result, any EOI submitted will be for Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 in Germany, and other adaptive sport events in the lead up.
For further information please contact the ADF Adaptive Sport Program
Pacific Sport Program
Sport is a key aspect of enhancing our relationships in the south-west Pacific and offers opportunities to reinforce our people-to-people connections. Through planning and coordination with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the Pacific Sports Program delivers quality sports engagements that increase the capacity and capability of our regional partners.

Anne Lalou began her career as Signing Officer then Deputy Director within the Mergers and Acquisitions Department of Lazard, first in London and then Paris, before becoming Director of Forecasting and Development at Havas. She was Chairwoman and Managing Director of Havas Edition Electronique before joining Rothschild & Cie as Managing Director. She joined Nexity in 2002, where she held the offices of corporate secretary and Director of Development before taking over the General Management of Nexity Franchises in 2006 and then becoming Deputy Managing Director of the Distribution Branch of Nexity until 2011. Anne then created La Web School which she opened in October 2012.
Anne Lalou, 52, is a graduate of the École Supérieure des Sciences Économiques et Commerciales (ESSEC) business school.
Pioneering a new type of school adapted to the new digital environment, La Web School has been established to train future managers with visions and skills that combine creativity, commerce and technology .
La Web School endeavors to establish a student/business pairing combining both knowledge and interpersonal skills. La Web School is a new type of management school with a mindset characterized by innovation, collaboration and immersion, while continuing to shine the light on gaining theoretical knowledge forming the very foundation of the expertise developed by each student.
In addition to a Management and Entrepreneurship programme, students of La Web School develop a digital "3D" vision: they chose a field of expertise from one of 3 key areas – DESIGN, MARKETING or DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY – in the form of a major and continue to acquire skills in the other 2 areas throughout the course in form of minors. The foundation or first year immerses the students in the three dimensions of digital culture and helps them determinate the discipline witch will thereafter constitute the field of expertise for the student.
Our goal is to enable each and every one of our students to fulfill themselves, turn their professional dreams into reality and became a stakeholder in this digital world.


Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Undoubtedly, yes, states the scholar who lurks in the corner of some untidy office shared with another who professes the same beliefs. William Shakespeare said so. But what if he had not said so? What if, instead, a student of literature had posed this as an extension of Juliet's soliloquy in an essay?
One can only have supposed that a student would have been admonished in dulcet tones by the very same scholar; one must be clear, one must not speak so analogously, such a comment does not belong in an essay. But what if the student had gone further, found their own word for a rose to illustrate the very point our playwright was making?
We may imagine two scenarios as concrete consequences: the first that the professor understands the word through the context in which it is placed and the second that the professor cannot understand the word and refers to the student. In the first case the professor, nonetheless, criticises the student for making either a gross misjudgement in illustration or a grave error in spelling. In the second case the student offers a definition, still to be gently lectured on their mistake. The question then: who has the authority to create words and, more broadly, to create ideas?
Let us now press the rose between the leaves of a leather-bound copy of Romeo and Juliet. Let us place it on a shelf of that untidy office so that its earthy binding and ribbed spine form the background of our thoughts. Let us leave our scholar to profess that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, if Shakespeare said so and not a student of literature.
The question remains: who has the authority to create words? Not a student. Not a professor (at least not of literature, as the professor has most certainly suffered the same education as the student). Both toil at the same work: self-congratulatory reproduction. What happens when the proper procedure is overcome? A student fails to meet a grade; a professor is shunned for corrupt research. What if an idea has been created? Either it will be supposed fraudulent or obliquely proved so.
It seems once an idea has been created, it is owned and propertied by its creator; a sign warning private passively aggressively placed on paths leading to this and neighbouring plains of thought. Whoever thought that two people could, independently and without knowledge of the other, come to the same conclusion, the same idea. After all, some people do think the same. As with an idea, so too with a word. Student or professor – neither party create understandings; they may only study or profess them.
Who has the authority to create words? Shakespeare certainly did, but an individual, little known, no longer has this power. Yes, there is popular force; if enough people make use of a word it will be created – it will become a word. Collective creation bolsters cultural identity where the diverse and personal creations of the individual do not. But this allows the author none of the esteem bestowed upon the few 'respectable' and 'reputable' creators who do succeed in expanding the English language. Maybe these 'respectable' and 'reputable' creators no longer exist. Perhaps there are no more words left to be created. But we must leave behind such superfluous hypotheticals. What we should be asking is why the authority to create words has been limited at all.
The English language has come across a border impregnatable. It is floundering under the stern brow of protectionism. We are too concerned for the preservation of a language that, despite its exploitation, is outmoded due to its inability to adapt. We are afraid we will become alien to it as it traverses and finally destroys the bounds of the inferior. And the superiority of a language is inevitably its downfall. Its extinction is due partly to the incapacity of its users and partly to the availability of an invariably simpler language on the international stage. Adaptation does not necessarily mean survival.
At what point do we draw a distinction between the language that is and the language that was, before adaptation? When its users can no longer understand its form? Then surely the language of Shakespeare would constitute another linguistic system? The swiftest answer is that language relies on spatial location and cultural identity. But surely it is arguable that an advanced form of a language is as different as the distinction between two temporally equivalent systems reliant on the same roots?
Whatever the answer, a language may easily fall out of use, either due to its own complications or through adaptation over time (let alone through invasion and other violent methods of linguistical change). Again, we are afraid we will become alien to our own language – the language we collectively and individually possess from birth. Perhaps this concept of possession holds the key. A language is part of a collective identity in a nation; when an individual creates a word or idea it is perceived as private property which threatens the communality of a language with the face of elitism. Shunning creators becomes a method of conservation.
What are the benefits of conservation? The most obvious, perhaps, is the perpetuation of a cultural identity. But does this rely on a language? When most of the world speaks English (due to its simplicity and circulation) either as a first or as a second language, it appears – at least now – that the use of a unifying language to allow open communication between nations has by no means hindered or damaged national identity. Arguably, it has prevented violent threats to it by allowing comprehension and diplomacy. There is no immediate evidence, however, that a sole universal language would not damage one's collective identity. Even so, languages do seem to present a popular barrier to communication.
Yet, in protecting from the elitism of a language, an alternative elitism has been created; only the 'reputable' few can successfully create a word or an idea, often in a 'respectable' and literary context, preserving the cultural identity that simpler languages and potential adaptation has threatened. After all, a language must be regulated.
A rose by any other name will, in the immediate sense, smell as sweet, but soon a rose will no longer 'smell' or have a 'name' by which it may be 'called'. These ideas will be replaced as a language gains flexibility, although perhaps losing meaning at the same time. But then perhaps a word retains its meaning, just as a rose maintains its smell. However, the primary purpose of a language is still impeded, since communication is hindered when words convey only personal meaning.
But the student, say, who uses alternative words and derivations to create new ideas, is surely not a threat? The greater threat is the stagnation of literary, psychological and historical understandings due to the absence of fresh ideas with no words to convey them.

UK cyber attacker faces jail for targeting public services sites
A Merseyside man faces a jail term after admitting to a DDoS campaign against public services sites
Warwick Ashford, Senior analyst
Published: 06 Feb 2015 14:03
A Merseyside man faces a jail term after admitting to a distributed denial of service (DDoS) campaign against children's social services, social housing and crime prevention websites.
Ian Sullivan, 51, of Bootle, Merseyside, carried out a series of DDoS attacks in 2013, targeting a range of business and public sector websites.
These included multinational banks, sites providing support for children going through adoption and divorce proceedings, crime reporting sites and social housing organisations.
None of the websites were hacked and no sensitive data was accessed, but by flooding the web servers with data, more than 300 websites were made inaccessible to users.
Sullivan was arrested in July 2013 in a joint operation by the National Crime Agency's (NCA) National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) and Titan, the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit. Investigators linked the DDoS activity to a Twitter handle which had referenced the attacks.
Analysis of Sullivan's computer found software designed to take websites offline and documentation linking him to other campaigns and activity carried out by the hacking collective Anonymous.
Sullivan is due to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court on 1 May 2015.
"Among other impacts, Sullivan's actions are likely to have deprived vulnerable people of access to important information, ranging from where to get support on family breakup, to reporting crime anonymously," said Steven Pye, senior operations manager at the NCCU.
"This multi-agency operation illustrates the commitment of the NCA and its partners to pursuing people who think they can criminally disrupt important public services or legitimate businesses," he said.

DDoS is a threat to all businesses, says Neustar
Although DDoS attacks do not result in a loss of data, they can be extremely costly to businesses that rely on web-based transactions or interactions through a website, said Seth Berman, executive managing director at global digital risk and investigations firm Stroz Friedberg.
Financial services firms, companies that have a high-volume of web-based transactions and businesses that rely on other organisations such as banks to complete transactions are particularly vulnerable to DDoS attacks.
Such attacks can be used to harm the business of competitors, hold organisations to ransom, or to make a political or ideological point.
Phil Huggins, vice-president, security science, at Stroz Friedberg, said, in his experience, customer organisations typically have two suppliers for key services.
"If one goes down due to a DDoS attack, customers will simply switch to the other supplier – but the business impact is that they seldom come back," he said.
Although DDoS attacks are closer to being a "nuisance" than a "crisis", Berman said web-based organisations should ensure that they have adequate DDoS mitigations in place.
Huggins said that when outsourcing DDoS mitigation, organisations should ensure their suppliers are able to provide adequate protection and that mitigation covers entire systems.
"If one route for attack is not covered, web-based platforms can still be downed by DDoS attacks through other parties connected to the platform," he said.
Cyber attackers should not be under-estimated, said Huggins, citing the case of a sector-wide campaign in which hacktivists increased the sophistication of the DDoS attacks as mitigations were put in place.
"The campaign started with simply flooding servers, but then became gradually more complicated, eventually targeting components of specific applications," he said.
According to a recent study by security firm Kaspersky Lab, DDoS attacks on a company could potentially cause losses of around $400,000.
Dave Larson, chief technology officer at network security firm Corero, said DDoS attacks threaten service availability, disrupt IT networking and security procedures and affect the business beyond just the outage itself.
"In addition to the cost associated with the downtime caused, there is another component to the cost of an attack that is not always considered – DDoS as a distraction as a part of a complex hybrid breach attempt," he said.
Larson said that as the DDoS threat landscape continues to evolve, researchers are seeing an escalation in multi-vector attacks to overcome traditional DDoS defences and distract security personnel for the purpose of data exfiltration.
"When DDoS attack traffic is filling up logging tools, over-running firewalls and saturating your internet link, it becomes increasingly difficult to break through the noise and identify more nefarious activity. The cost of a DDoS attack increases exponentially in this scenario," said.

Review/discussion about: Aoharu x Kikanjuu
No surviving here
I have never shot a gun. I have held my uncle's small pistol, though. He carries it around for self-defense purposes. He let me hold the weapon during a birthday party for one of my relatives, and I, rather stupidly, raised the gun up instead of aiming it downwards. Everyone was quick to yell at me and for good reason. Guns are dangerous. We watch action flicks, we play first-person shooters, and we read jokes about weapons, desensitizing us to their power. It is not until one is wielded that someone truly understands what it is that he or she is holding.
Before real guns, there are the imitations, usually called BB guns. They shoot pellets, not bullets, but they are still dangerous and, for some, as fun as the real thing. Aoharu x Kikanjuu is filled to the brim with guns of this type and the survival games that incorporate their use. Although the guns are not actually the focus. They are the setting for the anime but not what the anime wants to talk about. Instead, the show concerns itself with heavier dilemmas. Deceit, rejection, and perseverance which, coincidentally enough, each occur in the very games the show shows.
My earlier recollection was sort of misleading. I have used a paintball gun before, during a friend's birthday. I was there with a bunch of other friends. I had on the goggles, the camo gear, and the big boots. Running around the obstacles and pretending as if I was in a real warzone was fun. Then I got hit with a paintball. And it hurt. A lot. I remember the stinging, despite the layers of clothes I had on, and the welt afterwards. Though if I had a choice between getting hit with another paintball and watching Aoharu x Kikanjuu again, I would brace myself for the stinging.
Where to even begin?
Aoharu x Kikanjuu is a drama. Ironically, that is one of the anime's biggest problems. The setting and subject matter, while filled with adrenaline, is not an intense pastime. It is not supposed to be taken extremely seriously. But the anime refuses to follow this sentiment. Instead, the show takes this fun and nonlethal activity and turns it into the most over-the-top and overly dramatized piece. The show always showcases the events, such as the main competition or a duel in the woods, as life-or-death scenarios, contrasting too heavily with the fun hobby that the characters partake in. The anime tries so hard to be dramatic but because the subject matter is not as emotionally-driven as it believes itself to be, the result is the feeling that something is off. That something is just not working.
This feeling persists throughout the entire season because Aoharu x Kikanjuu almost exclusively focuses on drama. Said drama permeates everything; whether it is Matsuoka pushing Tachibana out of a door or Yukimura arguing with Matsuoka, the anime always grossly dramatizes whatever happens to exist on screen. Comedic bits exist, but these moments are quick interjections rather than a focal point. The comedy works better than the drama, but since the drama comes off as awkward, the comedy is unable to act as the buffer it was designed to be. Thus, instead of resting alongside the drama, the comedy is jarring, breaking what was already hurting.
But the drama being as ineffective as it is does not explain why the drama itself turns out that way. So, what is causing the show to, figuratively speaking, shoot itself in the foot? This leads into the second problem: the monologues. The plurality is slightly misleading; there are more monologues in Aoharu x Kikanjuu than there are guns in the anime. That is a lot of time spent on monologues. Yet, again, monologues on their own are not inherently negative. In fact, monologues are often nice ways of conveying the inner thoughts of a character that might normally be impossible to hear. Aoharu x Kikanjuu, however, does not use monologues of this kind regularly. Instead, the anime opts for the messiest options. Tachibana will commentate on the most obvious of happenings. She might raise questions that the audience is already pondering. Or she may recount, word for word, what she is about to do or what someone else has done or felt. In short, the anime does the complete opposite of the "show; don't tell" philosophy by constantly telling everything that is going on, at all times. This stream of monologues is not only relegated to Tachibana. Matsuoka, Yukimura, and even some of the unimportant side characters frequently describe exactly what is going on around them, to the point that the audience would not even have to be watching the anime in order to understand what is occurring on-screen.
The third problem also explains why the heavy drama never seems to act as intended. Flashbacks are rampant throughout the season. Much like the monologues, flashbacks on their own are not an issue. They are used to reveal the pasts of characters to develop said characters or to present events outside of a chronological order. That is to say, flashbacks, when used correctly, serve a wonderful purpose. Aoharu x Kikanjuu does not use flashbacks correctly. Instead, almost every single flashback is used to recount a specific moment from the season. A character said that one thing? Flashback. Someone is trying to remember what happened during the match? Flashback. Currently in a battle? Flashback. There are some nice uses of flashbacks within the anime – Tachibana's best friend has a flashback that encourages Tachibana to move forward and Matsuoka's character is largely developed through flashback. But the vast majority of the flashbacks exist as nothing more than unnecessary interjections that chop up the events portrayed and, subsequently, prevents the drama from being as emotional as it wants to be.
The drama is often too much for the anime's own good
Arguably one of the most important plot points – the reason for the disbandment of "Toy Gun Gun" – is based on a flashback. More specifically, it is initially given as a false flashback. Lying is a staple theme in Aoharu x Kikanjuu, evidenced by Tachibana's gender-hiding ruse. Her lie shapes the way the plot progresses. She is let onto the team because she lied, she is motivated by the original lie, and she loses the main tournament because of her lie. Her lie is a white lie but it permeates the anime from start to finish.
Therefore, it is not inconceivable to assume that the show handles this theme appropriately, but the fourth problem is encountered instead. Aoharu x Kikanjuu strangely concludes without Tachibana coming clean. A lot of fuss about her predicament is brought up as the show nears its end. It seems as if the anime is going to reach the type of resolution befitting the show's own ideas. But no. The anime elects to keep the lying. Despite Yukimura explaining what really went down years ago. Despite the enemy not revealing her secret so that she could tell them herself. Despite the countless opportunities she had to tell her comrades and friends the truth. The anime ends with the group determined and closer than ever, yet Tachibana's lie still persists, making the whole lying concept more of an aside rather than the important motif it was meant to be.
Why is it that Aoharu x Kikanjuu does not bring closure to its theme? The main reason is to leave it up in the air as a possible point of contention in a continuation. This, quite frankly, is cheap. Her lie is a major plot point that is leaned on constantly throughout the season but is ultimately quasi-closed – Tachibana is hopeful that a future chance will arrive for her to finally reveal who she really is, but the audience never sees said chance. This highlights the fifth and final problem of Aoharu x Kikanjuu's narrative: the inept handling of specific scenes. The ending is only the beginning.
Another weird moment is when the anime emphasizes a seemingly important character at the café Tachibana, Midori, and Fujimon visit. His face glowers at the mention of "Toy Gun Gun" because he is, presumably, the second member to have voluntarily left the group (before Tachibana and after the first girl). But nothing ever happens with this man. He does not show up again let alone has a role in the narrative. Another example is the main tournament, TGC. There is a ton of build-up to the tournament, such as its purpose, its meaning, and so on. Furthermore, most shows would have the two rivals square off at or near the end in order to build even more tension. But in Aoharu x Kikanjuu, the battle happens in the very first round. The audience does not get to the see the TGC event at all, reducing the overall amount of gunplay shown and the overall amount of tension. Then, when Tachibana, Matsuoka, and Yukimura lose, the anime skips ahead, ruining the pacing that had already been established. These two examples are the most egregious in terms of breaking the narrative, but there are other examples. The ridiculous gun duel at Matsuoka's place of work and Tachibana walking into a hospital with a large black bag that contained her (fake) gun are more instances where the anime simply does not make sense.
Five major problems in total for Aoharu x Kikanjuu's narrative. As they say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me five times…that is just unacceptable.
Without a doubt, Aoharu x Kikanjuu's strongest facet is the art and the animation that it contains.
The art especially has an elevated amount of quality. Forested areas are rife with detail, as are the apartments of the characters and the city areas they visit – the gun shop, a café, and so on. Contrary to the drama's execution in the narrative, the drama further boosts the art. Sinister depictions of elite gun wielders, shifted camera placements for demented shots, and fluffy edges for the flashback sequences are varied ways in which the anime diversifies its artistic direction. Other examples, such as special particle effects for pellets hitting targets and the menacing eyes and smiles of the characters, further demonstrate how dedicated Aoharu x Kikanjuu is to making its art as dramatic as possible.
Actual animation can be hit or miss, but for the most part the anime manages to, once again, use a lot of tricks that make its animation more involved than it otherwise should be. One of the more intricate scenes is when Midori outs Tachibana to confuse her temporarily. When Tachibana gets shot in the head, the anime goes into slow-motion. While slow-motion animation is common, the environment was currently in a thunderstorm, meaning the rain droplets slowed down as well. The rain helps to accentuate the slow-motion, even more so when this effect is used for only a few seconds – everything is normally animated, the slow-motion is used, then the show snaps back to its normal animation. A sequence like this is rarer, though. Tachibana jumping off of a mini-gun or her flying through the air while shooting her own weapon are nice to see but the anime, due to the constant stream of monologues, has a lot of characters standing around and talking, either to themselves or to the person next to them.
The dramatized art, however, works well
Still, the extent of the actual animation is nothing to scoff at. Despite the more animation-intensive moments being the exception, the anime has its cast running around shooting their guns quite a bit. Not every episode has them taking part in a battle, but enough are present to make the anime feel as if it is focusing on the gunplay. Besides the running and the shooting, characters also have hair, limb, eye, and mouth movements during the season that equate to a higher amount of actual animation and subsequently better overall execution.
The character designs are the only section of the art and animation that are not as grand. Tachibana, while androgynous in her depiction, is a bit too plain. Beige hair, green eyes, and constant school uniform make her out to have quite the dull design. Matsuoka is handsome, with his spiky blonde hair and pretty face, but this side of him only really comes out when he is on the job. If anyone, though, has an argument for their design, it would be Yukimura. His glasses, black and frazzled hair, and long-sleeved sweater paint him as the recluse that he is. To be fair, when the characters are participating in their survival games, their designs change. Jackets, scarves, and hats replace their regular attire to help the audience understand the transition from normal to game life. These, at the very least, demonstrate that the anime put some thought into the designs of the cast.
Of course, this is technically a realistic setting, so having wacky character designs would go against said realism. However, the lack of aesthetic appeal in the designs does little to improve the impact of the cast, consequently reducing the effectiveness of the drama and therefore the execution of the anime.
For Aoharu x Kikanjuu, the cast once again misses the target so much one would not be mistaken in thinking that this was not an anime about shooting guns.
The first oddity is the anime's fixation on obsession. Not with the guns but with the people. Yukimura, Fujimon, and Ichi each have an unhealthy obsession with the leader of their group, Matsuoka for the former and Midori for the latter two. Fujimon's is based on a masochistic fetish and Ichi has romantic feelings for Midori. Characterizations, but they are unfounded. Both Fujimon and Ichi never have their backgrounds explored, their infatuation with Midori less a cute connection and more a weird relationship. Yukimura fares slightly better; in the past, he was betrayed by people he thought he could call friends. The only person to stand up for Yukimura was none other than Matsuoka. Yukimura still turns into the loner he is, though. He secludes himself, focusing on his (perverted) work, himself, and, most important to him, Matsuoka, the only friend he could truly call his friend. Thus, his obsession with Matsuoka, while still a bit strange, has some sort of reasoning behind it.
But that is the extent of Yukimura's character. Outside of this beginning revelation, he contributes little else besides the occasional perverted joke or plea for help. This affects all of the characters – nobody seems to have "enough" about them. Matsuoka is known as a swinger of sorts. It is not until the final episode that the audience learns of his fear of rejection. That is why he works as a swinger; surrounding himself with other people compensates for the hole he has in his heart. That is quite the nice character trait in terms of writing. Yet, similar and opposite to Yukimura, this trait is revealed once at the conclusion. Having his last few lines about his person at the end are fine, it is Aoharu x Kikanjuu never hinting at such a deeply troubling issue – at all – throughout the season that comes off as sloppy. As if the anime had forgotten to make his character relevant during the season until it was too little, too late.
Midori, unlike both Yukimura and Matsuoka, has a bit more going for him. By day, Midori is a doctor, saving the lives of the people who visit him. By night, Midori reveals his true personality, that of a deranged and psychotic sadist who relishes in the pain of the enemies he "kills" during the survival game matches. He is two-faced, but he understands how to separate his one life from the other. Midori is arrogant, cocky, and manipulative, all of the makings of an evil villain. Though he is not all evil; he guides Tachibana towards fixing her relationship with Matsuoka and, while his crazy actions are in fact insane, his feud with Matsuoka is not entirely his fault. In this way, he is to some degree a complex character.
Tachibana is somewhat similar in the sense that she, too, is two-faced. This obviously applies to her gender reversal. She is a girl who acts and looks like a boy, but she is not so much acting as she is just extremely tomboyish. But this also applies to her main characteristic: a passion for justice. Tachibana has an immense sense of duty. She feels it is her responsibility to quell the bad in the world and to let the good rise to the top. Or so it appears. The "justice" she often invokes is a negative force that consumes her completely to the point that she becomes the very evil she seeks to quash. That is, it is revenge, not justice, that she pursues. Her lying about herself is also not the most justice-esque move one can do, meaning no matter how much good she fights for, her hypocritical nature contrasts harshly with her known behavior.
Yukimura is easily the weakest of the three main characters
For both Midori and Tachibana, there is "more than meets the eye", but there is simultaneously nothing else for the eye to meet. The development they receive, especially in Tachibana's case, is nonexistent. Midori remains more or less the same, conniving man as when he is first introduced, and Tachibana, due to the story's stalling, never goes through her full arc. She stumbles along the way with the guns and her own determination, but those are dips in the growth graph as opposed to recognizable turning points. Matsuoka and Yukimura already have shown their own incompetence as characters. Adding Midori and Tachibana, the main antagonist and the main protagonist, respectively, into the same category only serves to make the whole of the cast an underwhelming offering.
Looking at the separate pairings more closely, a pattern of parallelism begins to emerge. The composition of their groups mirror one another – two guys and one girl – as do the personalities of the people that make up said group – someone obsessed with the leader, a situational lunatic, etcetera. And most important of all, they all share the same passion: survival games. The two groups share a lot of similarities, yet there is a clear distinction between them: one is more successful over the other. Midori and his group have continually won the main survival game event for the past few years, indicating the closeness of their group and the power of their collective abilities. Matsuoka and his group, in contrast, have continually lost each year. Worse still, each time they lose they lose a member. It is three-fold: Yukimura's abrasiveness towards others, Matsuoka's own insecurities, and Matsuoka's rivalry with Midori drive the third teammate away. Matsuoka's group is never cohesive and always broken. The bonds they share with each other are not taut in the slightest. This is why he and his team fail whereas Midori and his team manage to win. Midori, Fujimon, and Ichi trust one another completely. "Toy Gun Gun" does not. Yukimura did not trust Tachibana with their storied past. Tachibana did not trust in Matsuoka's leadership. And Matsuoka did not trust himself to keep both Yukimura and Tachibana loving the game that he himself had come to love so much.
Now, this all sounds nice on paper, but the execution is a different matter. Even disregarding the lack of depth for Fujimon's and Ichi's characters, Aoharu x Kikanjuu does not make this comparison explicit. Individually the cast is placed side-by-side at times, but without the anime increasing the scope of its comparisons, the parallelism it was seemingly shooting for is lost. Furthermore, while the exploration of the relationships between Matsuoka, Yukimura, and Tachibana exist, the same cannot be said for Midori and his friends. Despite how much Midori, Fujimon, and Ichi succeed together, the anime rarely shows how close they are to one another. In fact, Midori takes advantage of Fujimon's kindness and Ichi treats Fujimon with disrespect, as if their "friendship" is anything but. Meaning, the parallelism is not lost because it never existed in the first place.
In the end, the cast of Aoharu x Kikanjuu is difficult to justify. Yukimura, Ichi, and Fujimon are clearly lacking strength, Matsuoka's character is poorly handled, and both Midori and Tachibana, while characterized well, needed more throughout the season. And even though parallelism can be found, it definitely is not working as intended.
The opening theme for Aoharu x Kikanjuu is rather upbeat, contrasting harshly with the anime's dramatic mood. Surprisingly, the song is not overbearing due to the mellowness of the singing, once again going against the show's usual overbearing drama. Still, the song can instill that feeling of longing, coinciding with Matsuoka's, Yukimura's, and Tachibana's own longing for one another. A nice touch is the combination of vocalists that get all three involved in the piece which works well with the guitar and drum beats. Catchiness does not find a home in the first half but it does find one in the second half, making the OP an overall solid offering.
The same cannot be said for the main ending theme. The ED is a smattering of noise, caused by the erratic lyrics, the tonal shifts, and the likeness in instruments to the OP. Vocal-wise, there is not enough power to match the piece's sense of regret and eventual triumph, resulting in a dissonance between what is heard and what is felt by the audience. At the minimum, the ED at least contrasts nicely with the OP, providing a wider range of feelings – regardless of how expertly they were incorporated – for the audience to experience.
Mikako Komatsu gives quite the nice performance as Tachibana
Voice acting is by far the best part of the sound-work within Aoharu x Kikanjuu, although not everyone gives a grand performance. Mikako Komatsu as Tachibana uses a voice that walks the line between male and female, a perfect fit for the tomboy. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Yukimura demonstrates his chops once more with a reserved and higher-pitched voice to match the recluse and slightly effeminate dude. Tomoaki Maeno as Matsuoka has his moments, such as when Midori confronts him at TGC or is ashamed of his decision-making skills, but otherwise he provides an average performance. The same can be said for Kazuyuki Okitsu as Midori; he has the "holier than thou" way of speaking but does not particularly stick out from the crowd, lessening his role as the main bad guy. Finally, Ryouhei Kimura as Fujimon also deserves a shout-out for his subservient way of speaking when referring to Midori.
As for the remainder of the soundtrack, the OST is another step down. Jazzy ensembles with blaring trumpets are used for the explanatory moments. Acoustic strings for the uplifting ones. Eerie tones that make the sadder scenes that much more painful. Standard fare for many an anime. Aoharu x Kikanjuu also includes an extra ED – played precisely once, at the end of the eighth episode – that is decidedly darker than both the OP and the main ED, fitting snuggly within Aoharu x Kikanjuu's plotline at that time. And there are, of course, more emotional pieces, such as laidback piano tracks and reminiscing violin ones, all of which aim to achieve the same kind of emotion that the anime sought.
Unfortunately, these more emotional pieces follow the show's execution of its drama, being incapable of invoking the kinds of responses necessary for the scenarios they surround. And no matter which track is listened to, they are highly forgettable. This, combined with the fact that the most important tracks are not as impactful as they need to be, makes the OST lackluster.
There was exactly one – one – instance in the anime where I derived satisfaction: the scene following Tachibana and Kanae's "race." She acts like an awesome friend, a heartfelt message is given, and, best of all, a romance-oriented joke is had. Before and after this scene, I dreaded watching this show.
I hated Tachibana's persona. I did not much care for her sense of justice and her constant whining. I especially loathed her when she went psycho. It was a combination of the animation, art, and lame way she acted while going berserk. I could not take her seriously when she acted normally, so when she turned into somebody that was even more annoying than she was, I could not stand having or listening to her on-screen.
The actual survival game sequences were boring. I did not find it fun to watch Tachibana or anyone else run around walls, a few metal barrels, and a heaping of foliage just so they could shoot a few BBs that sometimes found their target and sometimes not. For me, watching gun duels is just not exciting. It is a lot of sitting, stalking, and waiting, as opposed to sword duels where swiftness and deftness are valued more. Plus, every move in a sword duel counts. Each move has (literally) more weight. With guns, spraying-and-praying is a way to approach the enemy, one that the anime uses more than a handful of times, and in only a select few instances is hand-to-hand combat relied on. If I was the one doing the firing, then the feeling would most certainly change. But as much as the show tried, I simply could not find entertainment in the survival games they showcased.
Only Kanae's "racing" scene made me smile
That is not the end of the torment for me, though. Midori's impeccable behavior – where he does everything right and can never do any wrong, no matter what happens – is a character trait that immediately gets on my nerves. All of the monologues were grating quite early on, mostly because the anime simply could did not have the right type and amount of emotion throughout. The ending, where Matsuoka suddenly has feelings for Tachibana but he (understandably) has no idea why, is such a cheap way to try to inject some romance into the anime where none was previously present. These nuances range from minor to major, but since they all occurred within the same anime, they compounded to the point that I could almost not care any less about this show.
Aoharu x Kikanjuu is survival game drama incarnate. Other than the nice animation and art pieces, the story is awful, the characters are a mess, their designs are usually boring, the music is hard on the ears, and the entertainment is nearly nonexistent. On second thought, make that two paintball hits.
Story: Terrible, heavy drama feels unnatural, too many nonsensical internal monologues, misused flashbacks, theme on lying is poorly handled, and specific, inept scenes destroy the narrative
Animation: Good, artistic direction follows the drama, above average actual animation, and a mix of detailed and boring character designs
Characters: Bad, Yukimura, Fujimon, and Ichi are very weak, Matsuoka is handled poorly, Midori and Tachibana are okay, and the parallelism between them all needs more attention
Sound: Bad, okay OP, bad ED, bad OST, okay VA performances
Enjoyment: Terrible, annoying characters, boring action, and other nuances quickly added up to a miserable experience

Medicare payments to physicians will decrease 21.3 percent April 1 because Congress went on a two-week Easter recess March 26 without doing anything to stop the cut.
TMA 'strongly supports' a Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) proposal to ban discretionary clauses in insurance policies, TMA President William H. Fleming III, MD, says in a letter to TDI.
Physicians are not only the primary providers of medical care at the nation's hospitals, but a new survey suggests they also are key drivers of hospital revenue.
Insurance companies that rate physicians on the cost of the care they provide are wrong almost a fourth of the time, says a RAND Corp. study published in the March 18 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
First, do no harm. With the U.S. House of Representatives likely to take a historic vote on health system reform this weekend, your Texas Medical Association is engaged on multiple fronts to make sure the end result doesn't violate the Hippocratic Oath.
Use the TMA Grassroots Action Center today to send a strong message to Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison and your U.S. representative. Tell them to oppose the health system reform bill in the House and begin work immediately on a permanent replacement of the Medicare payment formula.

A confluence of events in Washington is pushing TMA to increase the volume of our work to enact a permanent fix to the Medicare payment formula. Despite their professed support for a new Medicare payment system for physicians, senators and representatives from both parties have done nothing to fix the formula that threatens to bankrupt physicians and leave Medicare patients without a doctor. For 10 years, they've done nothing to fix the single largest government health program. How can they build a new system on a broken foundation?
To educate patients on Medicare's problems and engage all Texans in the drive to fix them, we are embarking on a campaign to gather 1 million signatures to stop the Medicare Meltdown. We begin with an open letter to Congress (PDF), which we will deliver to members of the Texas congressional delegation the last week of March at news conferences across the state. (Please see — and sign — the open letter to Congress, below.) The petition drive will include online petitions (PDF) posted on the TMA (PDF) and MeAndMyDoctor Web sites, social media petitions for Facebook and Twitter, and other tactics. We will use all of our communication vehicles and our county medical society partners to send campaign materials and the petitions to physicians and patients. We will work with community partners such as senior citizen groups, disability rights organizations, and others.
Seeing a kid riding a bike is as much a sign of spring as the wildflowers that blanket the state this time of year. A great way to encourage kids in your community to get out and ride – and do it safely – is with a TMA Hard Hats for Little Heads bicycle helmet giveaway during Bike Month in May.
March 17 is the deadline to decide whether to change your Medicare participation status. Signing a participation agreement means you agree to accept assignment for all covered services that you provide to Medicare patients in 2010.
Cuts in payments to physicians who treat patients on Medicaid and in the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) appear likely as state leaders grapple with potential multi-billion-dollar state budget deficits this year and next.
TMA will launch the new TMA Leadership College at the 2010 TMA Fall Conference, Oct. 14-17.
Medicare has delayed the deadline for physicians to enroll in the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS) until Jan. 3, 2011.
A 2007 state law requires that all cause-of-death information and medical certifications to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) be submitted electronically through the state's online death registration system, the Texas Electronic Registrar (TER).
TMA Council on Legislation member Dawn Buckingham, MD, talks about the Medicare Meltdown and what it means to her and her patients.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on Friday, Feb. 26, that it "is working with Congress, health care providers, and the beneficiary community to avoid disruption in the delivery of health care services and payment of claims for physicians, non-physician practitioners, and other providers of services paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule."

Large Stocks Heighten the Importance of Ag Trade- Focus on China, Mexico
As global commodity markets cope with abundant stocks of corn, soybeans and wheat, export competitiveness has become increasingly important for U.S. farmers. Today's update takes a closer look at these issues with particular focus on trade developments with China and Mexico.
Background: Abundant Global Supply
Earlier this week, Reuters writers P.J. Huffstutter and Karl Plume reported that, "Iowa farmer Karl Fox is drowning in corn.
"Reluctant to sell his harvest at today's rock-bottom prices, he has stuffed storage bins at his property full and left more corn piled on the ground, covered with a tarp."
The article explained that, "Farmers face similar problems across the globe. World stockpiles of corn and wheat are at record highs. From Iowa to China, years of bumper crops and low prices have overwhelmed storage capacity for basic foodstuffs.
Global stocks of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans combined will hit a record 671.1 million tonnes going into the next harvest – the third straight year of historically high surplus, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). That's enough to cover demand from China for about a year.
"In the United States, farmers facing a fourth straight year of declining incomes and rising debts are hanging on to grain in the hope of higher prices later. They may be waiting a long time: Market fundamentals appear to be weakening as the world's top grain producers ponder what to do with so much food."
Graph from, "Grains piled on runways, parking lots, fields amid global glut." Reuters News. April 11, 2017.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Parkin reported on Tuesday at The Wall Street Journal Online that, "Soybean futures touched a one-year low during trading Tuesday as big South American crops exacerbate worries about the competitiveness of U.S. exports.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Tuesday raised its forecast for Brazil's record soybean harvest. The monthly report showed already large grain and oilseed surpluses rising across the world growing even bigger."

— Farm Policy (@FarmPolicy) April 11, 2017
The Journal article added that, "The forecasts sent soybean prices, which have already fallen for much of this year, to a new low. Economists said the slide was raising pressure on the struggling U.S. agricultural economy, where many farmers have been forced deeper into debt or out of business by a multiyear slump."
Effects of Increased Demand for U.S. Agricultural Exports
A recent update in the Agricultural Policy Review ("International Trade Has Been Major Source for Strengthening Prices") from Iowa State University indicated that, "Recent policy discussions, such as the potential for the US to impose import taxes, have heightened concerns that export demand may retreat. However, currently, the international marketplace is providing a surge of support to the US farm economy. Protein demand globally seems to be driving export growth for both livestock (direct meat demand) and crops (feed grain demand to raise more livestock and meat)."
The article pointed out that, "Corn export sales this marketing year have consistently exceeded our export pace for the last few years. As harvest began, the export market had already purchased over 600 million bushels of US corn, roughly doubling the advance sales from the 2015 crop. Since then, another billion bushels have been sold to international buyers. Mexico is our largest customer, buying just over a quarter of all corn exports. Japan is second with 15 percent."
U.S. Soybean Export Sales. Graph via, "International Trade Has Been Major Source for Strengthening Prices," Lee Schulz and Chad Hart. Ag Policy Review, Iowa State University. Winter 2017.
"The growth in soybean exports has not been as dramatic as for corn this year, but then again, soybean exports have set records for the past five years in a row," the Iowa State update said.
The report added that, "US agricultural production has been incredibly strong for the past few years. The record meat, corn, and soybean supplies have significantly reduced prices. Without the export boost, that trend would have continued.
However, with exports growing, crop and livestock prices have recovered enough to improve farm cash flows and provide some profit opportunities.
Meanwhile, a report this month from USDA's Economic Research Service ("The Potential Effects of Increased Demand for U.S. Agricultural Exports on Metro and Nonmetro Employment") stated that, "This report uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to explore the economic effects of a hypothetical 10-percent increase in foreign demand for U.S. agricultural exports.
This demand shift was found to result in a 6.7-percent increase in the volume of such exports, worth $9.7 billion at 2013 prices, and a net increase in total U.S. employment (all economic sectors) of about 41,500 jobs—above and beyond the nearly 1.1 million full-time civilian jobs that U.S. agricultural exports currently support.
Trade Issues: China and Mexico
Bloomberg writers Alan Bjerga and Shruti Singh reported on Monday that, "President Donald Trump achieved a 'big prize' during his meeting last week with Chinese President Xi Jinping by expanding U.S. beef exports to China, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said, without offering details on any tangible steps taken toward ensuring greater access."
The article noted that, "China halted imports of U.S. beef in 2003 after a case of mad cow disease was found in Washington state. The country is the world's second-biggest beef buyer after rapid economic growth over the past decade created an expanding middle class that can afford more protein in their diets. China is already the No. 1 pork consumer."
Matthew Patane reported earlier this week at The Gazette Online (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) that, "Access to China would be a boon for Iowa's 27,000 cattle operations, said Chris Freland, executive director of the Iowa Beef Industry Council."
The article pointed out that, "On Monday, Gov. Terry Branstad — who is awaiting confirmation to be the new U.S. ambassador to China — said he is supportive of opening up the Chinese market to Iowa-made beef.
'I want to be able to serve Iowa premium beef at the embassy and the ambassador's residence,' Branstad said during a weekly news conference.
Meanwhile, Gerard Baker, Carol E. Lee and Michael C. Bender reported yesterday at The Wall Street Journal Online that, "[President Donald Trump,] in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, also said his administration won't label China a currency manipulator in a report due this week."
The Journal writers noted that, "Mr. Trump said the reason he has changed his mind on one of his signature campaign promises is that China hasn't been manipulating its currency for months and because taking the step now could jeopardize his talks with Beijing on confronting the threat of North Korea."
I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!
With respect to Mexico, Wall Street Journal writers David Luhnow and Jacob Schlesinger reported on Tuesday that, "Mexican officials say they are more confident now that the two countries can strike a deal to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, which Mr. Trump attacked repeatedly on the campaign trail as the worst trade deal the U.S. ever signed.
"'We've gone from panic to concern,' another top Mexican official said."
The Journal article also stated that, "U.S. farm groups also have lobbied against changes to the pact that could restrict access to their No. 1 market for export products like corn, grown mostly in states that voted for Mr. Trump. Upping the ante, Mexico has threatened to buy more grain and corn from other producers such as Brazil and Argentina."
Iran, Vietnam, Japan account for half of Brazil's CORN export mrkts, https://t.co/O0pbw4wVEA BUT SEEKING TO GAIN MKRT SHARE IN MEXICO #NAFTA pic.twitter.com/PAd7mZ3M6U
And it's not just corn that is a concern when considering trade with Mexico.
A recent update from USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) ("Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade") noted that, "Exports generally – and shipments to Mexico specifically – have been a driving force for U.S. pork over the past decade. Since the early 2000s, export demand has outpaced growth in domestic consumption. As a percentage of production, exports have expanded from 9 percent (2000-2005 average) to 22 percent forecast in 2017."
Its not just corn exports: "Mexico in particular will propel much of the gain in overall U.S. pork exports in 2017" https://t.co/1LeKm0XWxc pic.twitter.com/5qsuezhHb9
The FAS report added that, "Mexico in particular will propel much of the gain in overall U.S. pork exports in 2017. U.S. pork dominates the market, averaging a nearly 90 percent market share since 2000. Low transportation costs, duty-free access, and relatively low prices are the chief reasons. These advantages have become more critical as the sector looks to expand export sales in the face of increasing competition in Asia from the EU."

China's Domestic Pork Production Targets Seen to Bolster Grain Imports
Last week, Bloomberg News reported that, "China's reaffirmation of a long-term goal to be almost entirely self-sufficient in pork production means it will keep scooping up global grain supplies to feed the world's largest pig herd."

IR Beacon click is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with an array of nine high speed infrared emitting diodes. It functions as a beacon device, transmitting infrared rays in a wide angle, which can be detected by nearby infrared receivers (such as the one on IR click). Each of the nine VSMB2948SL diodes have a transparent plastic package that serve as tiny lenses.
The IR wave has a half intensity angle of ±25 degrees. The diodes have high radiant power and intensity with a peak wavelengths of 940nm.
IR Beacon click is suitable for high pulse current operation. The mainboard MCU drives the infrared diodes through the mikroBUS™ MOD pin, providing a carrier signal (which can be modified to match the frequency of the receiver). Either UART or PWM can be used to transmit a signal to a target receiver (specified by the position of the TX SEL jumper is in the middle of the board).
The range is up to half a meter. You can increase it by stacking multiple IR Beacon clicks onto a same mikroBUS™ socket.
The board can use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
Applications Remote controls. Also, it's ideal for robot competitions that require two robots to communicate with each other (pair with IR click).

SAN DIEGO -- Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright will be activated from the disabled list and return to face the Padres in Sunday's series finale.
After going 1-2 in three starts, Wainwright began experiencing pain in his pitching elbow, which was repaired last fall. But Wainwright, who went to the DL on April 20, said he felt fine on Friday after Thursday's bullpen session.
Manager Mike Matheny said Wainwright has been tinkering with his delivery to reduce the strain on his elbow.
"I think he is an adaptable and he is a fierce competitor,'' Matheny said. "He's been working on some things to try and make it feel right and work right. We've had good reports with what we saw in [Double-A] Springfield. He was moving it around, keeping guys off balance and locating it where he wanted to.''
Matheny said the Cardinals were patient with Wainwright's recovery.
"We just had to take time so we could make sure he was ready to go,'' Matheny said. "Especially when you have the DL you are talking about. If it wasn't right and you try to go to him and you could be starting that all over again. That just doesn't make sense.''
In addition to folding Wainwright into the rotation, Matheny said right-hander Jack Flaherty will return and start on Tuesday at Minnesota. Flaherty had 13 strikeouts for Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.
"You talk about intensity and discipline,'' Matheny said of Flaherty's makeup. "In addition to his stuff, which includes good movement on his fastball.''

Wildflowers welcome walkers to Spring on the Myall
Wildflowers welcome walkers to Spring on the Myall Walk on the Wildside Festival. Hawks Nest https://landcare.nsw.gov.au/groups/hawks-nest-tea-gardens-bitou-busters/news/wildflowers-welcome-walkers-to-spring-on-the-myall https://landcare.nsw.gov.au/groups/hawks-nest-tea-gardens-bitou-busters/news/wildflowers-welcome-walkers-to-spring-on-the-myall/@@download/image/DSC00017.JPG
Walk on the Wildside Festival. Hawks Nest
Twenty-three people enjoyed a guided walk through carpets of wildflowers as part of this year's ninth annual Wildside Festival at Hawks Nest. The festival is organised by Ian Morphett, Secretary of the Myall Koala & Environment Group to bring the community together and celebrate the natural environment of the Hawks Nest area.
Many were residents of the Hawks Nest Tea Gardens area while others were visitors to the annual "Walk on the Wildside Festival". They ranged from people with an impressive knowledge of the flowers and trees to others who just wanted to enjoy the warm Spring afternoon and and marvel at the wildflowers.
The guided tour, which has become one of the main attractions of the festival, took them along the Michael Rowe Memorial Walk, which threads its way along the coast between the ocean and Mungo Brush Road.
Led by Jill Madden, President of the Myall Koala & Environment Group and with the help of Adrienne Ingram, the guided tour is a way of raising awareness of the wonderful variety of wildflowers the area has to offer.
For the first time, walkers were loaned laminated coloured guides on the wildflowers found on the track and were given copies of the guide to take home as a souvenirs. The guide can be found on the bitou.busters Facebook page.
A week earlier, 28 members of the Thursday Walkers Group had devoted their weekly walk to clearing about two kilometres of the track so the guided tour could take place.
The following day, Sunday 14 September, saw another wildflower walk but this time about bush tucker and the medicinal remedies of native plants.
This was led by Anne Haskew, a very knowledgeable source of information about all the fauna and flora in the area. Eleven people met at Swan Bay, Hawks Nest, for two fascinating hours of Anne showing local trees and plants that could be eaten or provide simple remedies, such as hop bush chewed for toothache or bracken to soothe bull-ant bites and stings.
Anne had made visual aids including enlarged photos and specimens of leaves, gum nuts and plant roots in labeled plastic sleeves.
A highlight was the discovery of several flying duck orchids, a small orchid resembling a duck in flight that set many cameras clicking.

when is super mario odyssey 2 coming out
Nintendo is releasing a new super-mario game that can be enjoyed and enjoyed again! Super Mario Odyssey is a re-imagining of the original Super Mario Bros., and it is the story of two little brothers who make their way to the Mushroom Kingdom after the death of their father.
It's a story of overcoming tragedy and tragedy, of friendship and friendship, of loss and loss, and it's all wrapped in a fun, cute adventure that will probably make you laugh a lot. The game features a new level editor, two new costumes, a new "toy", and a brand new soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu.
Super Mario Odyssey has a new level editor that allows the player to create levels that can be saved at any time after finishing them. The editor can be used for creating new mini-games, or editing levels that have been completed. The editor can also be used to create playable levels, which are levels that the player can play through as a player. These levels can be saved at any time after finishing them.
This new level editor is a great feature for the game, which has been a huge technical and creative challenge for the studio. It allows the player to create levels that can be saved after finishing them, and it allows the player to play through levels in the editor as a player. It's a great idea, and it's an important part of the gameplay.
Super Mario 2 was the first game to let the player create levels, and it's a huge part of the gaming experience. In Super Mario DS, the Super Mario Bros. level editor was the first to let the player create levels. The first level that the player could create was the first level they could edit, and the first levels they could play through were the first levels they could save at any time after finishing them.
I remember how much I was excited when I saw the first few levels in Mario Kart DS, and the first few levels that the player could play through in Mario Kart Wii. I remember being so excited that I was almost too excited to be scared, and then I did get scared. When I saw the first few levels in Super Mario 3D World, I was scared that I would run out of the way, because I knew that this game would have many more levels.
I never actually said that Super Mario 3D World was going to be more levels than Mario Kart Wii, but that's what I was talking about, and that is an understatement. It has nine new levels to play through, including four that no longer require the player to be in the same game (although they do still need Nintendo-supplied carts and the ability to play through the levels in both games).
If you're not a big Mario Kart fan, the fact they went with a four-player mode is almost insulting, but Nintendo has always had deep ties with the Super Nintendo and has always had it's Mario Kart games. Nintendo's Mario Kart Wii allows 4 players, but since it was only going to be for the Wii U, Nintendo decided to pull out the stops and add a four-player mode.
Mario Kart Wii (Super Mario Kart) was the first Mario Kart game to support four player co-op play. If you have a Nintendo GameCube, you can play with four friends simultaneously using two Mario Kart Wii Wii controllers. This version of Mario Kart Wii allows the game to be played through with two of you while the other plays with the controller in the other's hand. This is a much more challenging game with a tougher difficulty setting.
In Super Mario Kart 2, players jump up to a platform with an in-game screen where you can control the character Mario. Once your opponent is there, they can attack you or use the controller in your hand to block your attacks. These attacks are a combination of air, ground, and gravity attacks. Players can also use the controller to do special attacks to complete the game.


Had a guy start training with me recently as a 1 to 1 client.
as he'd just tell me to f#ck off.
He enjoys walking so that what we focus on.
and after asking him how he got with the walking plan last week.

But then I said to myself well f#ck Andrew anyway.
based on the agreed plan we put together.
he went out and did it.
is brought to the table.
And for busy dads, that's where Bulletproof Dad comes in.
to get up and do something.
All because you enjoy the process and see the results.
since starting with me last month.


In the past 3 months, two juggernauts in Kenya have clashed over the introduction of SIM overlay technology into the market – Equity Bank Group (Bank) and Safaricom ltd (Telco). Safaricom Ltd. the largest Mobile Network Operator in Kenya (67.9 % market share) while Equity bank is the largest bank by customer base (8 million +).
As the incumbent mobile financial services provider, Safaricom faces a direct threat to its dominant sway, MPESA from A controversial SIM overlay technology set to be introduced by Equity Bank into the market through its subsidiary Finserve. Equity bank made a strategic move in acquiring an MVNO license from the regulators, Communications Authority of Kenya. Through this license, Equity can venture into the cellular network business and more crucially, the mobile financial services business – MPESA's turf.


I've been a slacker on this blog for the last couple of weeks, but not from a lack of topics to discuss.
To get back into the flow, I will mention the great recycling service provided by Best Buy.
Two of the three items I recently bequeathed to Best Buy were casualties. One was the toasted Denon A/V receiver, the other a 1989 vintage 20″ tube TV that wasn't all that great before the strike gave it bizarro color.
The third item was a 2006 13″ tube TV, originally bought at Best Buy, which we used with an X10 receiver in the kitchen (the sender was hooked up to the DVR, then the TiVo). We had to periodically whack it to get the sound working, and the picture was washed out. Its replacement will be the topic of another post.
I hauled the items over to Best Buy, loaded them into a shopping cart, and the service desk took them without any further ado. I still have a few smaller items I will unload on a future trip.
Acceptable items for each state are listed at Best Buy Recycle.
Included are: TV (max 32″ tube TVs), VCR/DVD, DTV Converters, Rechargeable Batteries, Car Audio & GPS, Digital Cameras & Camcorders, Mobile Phones, CDs, Video Games & Gadgets, Computers. Check the site for further detail.
This blog will be 1 year old on August 6. I need to shoehorn in a few more posts by then!

Can Rabbits eat Vegetable Oil?
Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia.

Many vegetable oils are consumed directly, or indirectly as ingredients in food.
So can rabbits eat vegetable oil at all?
Unfortunately they can't at all.
It is extremely bad for them and will harm them greatly if they eat it.

Q: How can i solve this vue related issue Am trying to create a vue project using command line but it is showing this error message:
Error unexpected end ofJSON input while parsing near '....67e12ef","tarball":"h'
Using command line, I created a new project in C directory after which, I installed vue using NPM. After that I try installing @vue/CLI globally using NPM but while installing it the above error sprout out.
Have done npm cache clean  --force but still the same error..

A: It is hard to suggest anything because your question lacks details.
However this error often appears as a problem with npm itself.
Consider cleaning npm's cache with following commands:
   npm cache clean --force
   npm cache verify

If the problem will still occur, please provide more details.
