YOUSEI TEIKOKU was founded on the idea that humanity's dwindling belief in fairies must be reversed in order to bring back the purity in people's hearts. It was in year 1997 in Nagoya when the Empress of the Fairy Empire, Yui (vocals), first joined with Takaha Tachibana (guitar) and named themselves "Yousei Teikoku Dai San Gakutai".
Yousei Teikoku ("Fairy Empire" in Japanese) is the shortened name. They then scouted three members in Midgard, Nanami (bass), Shiren (guitar), and Gight (drums). The band merges heavy and aggressive rock music with metal, classical and techno. They have contributed numerous songs for anime series and video game soundtracks including Future Diary, Magical Pokan, Innocent Venus, Kurokami: The Animation, The Qwaser of Stigmata, Mai-HiME, Valiant Knights, Big Order, and Tokyo ESP.
YOUSEI TEIKOKU has performed multiple overseas concerts, including shows in Boston, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Taipei, and this year they will return to America's capital, Washington, D.C., alongside JAM Project, T.M.Revolution, and FLOW at Anisong World Matsuri at Otakon 2017.

Russian oligarch exposes Mueller cover up that may exonerate Paul Manafort (Video)
by Alex Christoforou July 6, 2019 1.7k Views 2 Comments
The Duran's Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris examine how ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele may have tried to hide the Russian sources he used to fabricate his dossier hoax, but now two of the 'Russians' likely used in the Steele dossier have been identified.
Meanwhile in a stunning interview with The Hill's John Solomon, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska acknowledged that he hired and paid Steele for a research project, as Steele was also being paid by the FBI to recruit Russian oligarchs to deliver dirt on Putin. Steele was later hired by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to compile the bogus and discredited "Steele Dossier" alleging Trump colluded with Russia in 2016.

"Russian oligarch's story could spell trouble for Team Mueller", authored by John Solomon via The Hill…
Sometimes it is the quiet, elusive ones who come back to haunt you. And for ex-special prosecutor Robert Mueller, one of those might be a Russian billionaire named Oleg Deripaska.
The oligarch who once controlled Russia's largest aluminum empire has been an international man of intrigue in the now-completed and disproven Trump collusion investigation.
Deripaska was a disaffected former business client of Donald Trump's fallen campaign chairman Paul Manafort. He also was a legal research client of Trump-hating, Clinton-aiding British spy Christopher Steele. In his spare time, he was an occasional friendly cooperator with the FBI and its fired deputy director, Andrew McCabe.
And, at the height of the Russia collusion hysteria, Deripaska was sanctioned by the Trump administration to financially punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for his meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
With the Russia case, in which he had so many connections, now completed, Deripaska is breaking his silence. And what he has to say could impact Mueller's July 17 testimony before Congress.
In a wide-ranging interview with me, Deripaska confirmed a story told to me more than a year ago by law enforcement sources: He was indeed interviewed by FBI agents in September 2016 during the early Russia probe, and he told them he strongly doubted the bureau's theory that the Trump campaign, through Manafort, was colluding with Moscow to hijack the 2016 election.
"I told them straightforward, 'Look, I am not a friend with him [Manafort]. Apparently not, because I started a court case [against him] six or nine months before … . But since I'm Russian I would be very surprised that anyone from Russia would try to approach him for any reason, and wouldn't come and ask me my opinion,' " he said, recounting exactly what he says he told the FBI agents that day.
"I told them straightforward, I just don't believe that he would represent any Russian interest. And knowing what he's doing on Ukraine for the last, what, seven or eight years."
OK, so why should you care if a Russian denied Trump campaign collusion with Russia during the election?
First, Deripaska wasn't just any Russian. He was closely aligned with Putin and had been helpful to the FBI as far back as 2009. So he had earned some trust with the agents.
Most importantly, Deripaska's interview with the FBI reportedly was never provided by Team Mueller to Manafort's lawyers, even though it was potential proof of innocence, according to Manafort defense lawyer Kevin Downing. Manafort, initially investigated for collusion, was convicted on tax and lobbying violations unrelated to the Russia case.
That omission opens a possible door for appeal for what is known as a Brady violation, for hiding exculpatory information from a defendant.
"Recent revelations by The Hill prove that the Office of Special Counsel's (OSC) claim that they had a legitimate basis to include Paul Manafort in an investigation of potential collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government is false," Downing told me. "The failure to disclose this information to Manafort, the courts, or the public reaffirms that the OSC did not have a legitimate basis to investigate Manafort, and may prove that the OSC had no legitimate basis to investigate potential collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government."
Deripaska's second relevance to Mueller's congressional hearings has to do with a series of events that first gained him trust inside the FBI.
Deripaska confirmed a story I reported last year from FBI sources that he spent more than $20 million of his own money between 2009 and 2011 on a private rescue operation to free Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent captured in Iran in 2007 while on a CIA mission.
Deripaska confirmed he paid for the operation at the request of the FBI, which was then under Mueller's direction. And he added that McCabe, then a rising FBI supervisor who was a former colleague of Levinson and later became a key figure in the Russia collusion probe, was one of those who asked him to help.
"I was approached, you know, by someone that he is under a lot of scrutiny now — McCabe," Deripaska said. "He also said that it was important enough for all of them [FBI officials]. And I kind of trusted them."
Deripaska said his privately funded rescue team came very close to a deal with the Iranian captors to secure Levinson's release but he was told by his FBI handlers that the deal ran into difficulties at Hillary Clinton's State Department and was scuttled. "I heard that some Russian 'hand,' or whatever you call people who are expert on the Russians at the State Department, [said], 'We just don't want to owe anything to this guy,' " Deripaska told me, adding that he never expected any U.S. favors for his personal efforts to free Levinson.
Asked if he thought the former FBI agent is alive, some dozen years later, Deripaska answered: "I don't think so." He pointed out that if Levinson had been alive, he likely would have come home in 2016, after the Obama administration struck a nuclear deal with Iran.
Deripaska said he is continuing to investigate what really happened at State with Levinson, as he tries to fight the sanctions levied against him in 2018. His company, Rusal, has been removed from the sanctions list.
Deripaska's tale has the potential to raise questions about a conflict of interest, since Mueller's FBI first received a gift in the form of the privately funded rescue mission before Mueller, as special prosecutor, investigated Deripaska's ties to key figures in the Russia case.
And Deripaska's complicated tale goes on: His legal team in 2012 hired Steele, the former British MI6 agent, to do some research for a lawsuit involving a business rival that Deripaska was fighting in London: "It was a research project to support what was the case against me in London. But my understanding is that the lawyers trusted him for some reason, and he was for quite a time on retainer."
Deripaska was unaware, though, that Steele also was working for the FBI on, among other things, a special program to recruit Russian oligarchs to provide intelligence on Putin and Russian organized crime.
He told me that Steele invited him to a September 2015 meeting with some Justice Department officials, under the guise that they might be able to help with the Russian's long-running battle with State to get visas to visit the U.S. He said the offer to help with his visa problem was a "pretext" to recruit him.
"They actually never talk, you know, about the [visa] problem. They start talking about anything else. They ask, 'Do you have anything? Give me names. Cases, whatever,' " Deripaska recalled.
He said he later was shocked to learn that Steele eventually went to work for the Clinton campaign through Fusion GPS, and the FBI, and spread allegations of the now-disproven Russia-Trump collusion.
Deripaska's willingness to do an American interview at this moment undoubtedly has a motive. It's likely rooted in an American charm offensive, as he sues not only to reverse the sanctions that Trump imposed on him but to challenge the State Department's 15-year effort to keep him from getting normal visas.
He recently won a lawsuit and forced State to produce the so-called evidence it used to justify denying him a visa for years and imposing the sanctions. It was a thinly sourced file, he said, mostly of old newspaper articles with no real secret intelligence.
So I asked him about the most common allegation levied by his detractors at State — that, earlier in his life while consolidating power in the aluminum industry, he had ties to Russian mobsters and may have killed or encouraged killing critics.
He quickly responded, noting that the file released by the courts offered no such direct proof: "There is no evidence. What is there to dispute? Do you believe that I could kill someone 25 years ago and there will be no victims, no corpses, no names?"
Throughout the interview, it was clear Deripaska chose his words in English carefully. But there was one word he offered only twice — once in response to the Steele dossier's allegations of Trump-Russia collusion, and the other time to respond to the allegations used to sanction him. "Balderdash," he insisted.
Now it's time for Team Mueller to answer the same questions.

This whole thing is a clown shown. The Democrats are going to lose another election that they should theoretically have in the bag, just like the last one, and they're going to lose again, because of their own blunders. They'll never own up to their stupidity, instead will blame all the people who either stay home or vote third party. The Russia-gate story will have no effect on Trump supporters, old and recent. If anyone was dissuaded to vote Trump the first time around, because they didn't know what he was about, those people are going to vote for him… Read more »

What the Heck is an Analytics Strategy?
Analytics strategy has to be very closely aligned with the business strategy as business transformation is not an isolated activity. An analytics strategy can identify the gaps in terms of organization and people, processes, technology and data are and proactively address them to be successful. So, what really is an analytics strategy? The key to success is a clearly defined vision and an analytics strategy. Whether you are planning an enterprise wide analytics program to transform the business or an analytics initiative that would benefit a single department, a well-planned Analytics Strategy can make all the difference by proactively addressing the reasons for the failures. Are you struggling to bring analytics to the business strategy?? Then read this whitepaper that explores enterprise data analytics strategy, best practices, risks associated and how to mitigate them. It highlights: How to successfully execute an enterprise analytics strategy? Where in the business processes can analytics strategy be applied? What are the quantifiable benefits of doing so? What are the best known strategies to prepare data for analytics? What are the keys to develop a successful analytics strategy?
Data scientists are a scarce commodity, and are likely to remain so for years to come. At the same time, data science can create a substantial competitive advantage for early adopters who make the best use of their scarce data-science resources. data scientists often struggle to recognize that every data-science project is an optimization problem.iii In business the objective function is usually expected value, but sometimes expected value is and should be traded away to avoid the possibility of catastrophic losses. Data science has a long, highly technical learning curve. An inexperienced team with limited background has two ways to shorten its learning curve. The first is training. For example, Coursera offers a series of online classes designed to train data scientists in specific computational techniques and tools. This paper explains how management can make the most of data-science resources and opportunities, to achieve data-driven competitive advantage.
Sophisticated digital marketing technology, and the dramatic increase in always-connected consumers, is increasingly pushing marketing onto the center stage of corporate strategy. Ad campaigns launched on advanced technology platforms, which include tools to perform instant analysis of huge amounts of data, enable marketers to target campaign results and ROI in ways they could only dream about just a few years ago. They also give the entire enterprise real-time business intelligence to drive strategy at the moment of decision. These same technologies also turn the spotlight on IT and the CIO, who now have to deliver a range of advanced new data services to the enterprise, well beyond what they've had to do before. Marketers who have embraced their new strategic role share some common characteristics. They understand that navigating today's rapidly evolving digital world requires an ecosystem of partners, both inside and outside their company walls. They seize the marketing opportunities that an interconnected, real-time digital landscape presents. And they take advantage of a new generation of tools that instantly orchestrate the massive amounts of data and the many moving parts of a modern media campaign. It's now critically important that the CMO work strategically across department lines with CIOs and IT. CMOs need to evangelize their goals, strategies, and methods with the CIO to be sure IT can effectively align behind them. And the CIO needs to help marketing understand the capabilities and services they can provide and how to most effectively interface with IT processes. And, further, the CIO needs to be sure to have preexisting relationships with the right technology providers and Systems Integrators (SIs) to be sure they can quickly deliver new capabilities as dictated by rapidly evolving strategic goals.
How to empower business users with information based user interface? Nowadays, organizations are looking for a way to more effectively empower business users to create, manage, and optimize the online experience for their visitors in a fiercely competitive environment. This whitepaper outlines the key capabilities that can empower business users to drive effective value on the web through a contextual approach and contextual digital online strategy. It also addresses: How can you empower business users to address the increasing demands of the evolving web? What are the five fundamental prerequisites essential for content creation and management in user interface? What are the benefits of information based user interface over traditional WCM system? Why traditional WCM editorial tools are falling short of meeting firms needs? How to use advanced web user interface to enhance productivity and empower business users?
BIG DATA 2.0 - Cataclysm or Catalyst?
In a comprehensive six month study conducted in 2012, Mattersight Corporation ("Mattersight") commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying its Behavioral Analytics platform. The Behavioral Analytics platform captures customer and employee interactions, and then automatically analyzes those interactions using proprietary algorithms and unique behavioral models. The output of this analysis is new data attributes on every interaction measuring customer expectations and behaviors, as well as employee performance. This data is then leveraged by three primary products which comprise Mattersight's Behavioral Analytics platform to drive significant business value - Predictive Behavioral Routing, Predictive Customer Analytics and Employee Performance Management.
Today, business leaders see big data as a valuable competitive advantage. High-volume, disparate data - particularly internet- and social media based data - is increasingly important for enterprises as they seek to glean insights about their globally dispersed workforces and customers. Yet one principal challenge remains: how to derive timely and meaningful value from the growing masses of structured and unstructured data, when traditional platforms lack flexibility and demand significant capital expenditure. Hadapt is ushering data analytics into the future with its Adaptive Analytical Platform, an extensible, interactive SQL interface to Apache Hadoop. While most businesses are heavily invested in effective, well-established data warehouses, operational data stores, data marts, and business intelligence tools to mine and analyze structured data, many still do not have a clear approach for analyzing unstructured and semi-structured data such as audio, clickstreams, graphics, log files, raw text, social media messages, and video. Organizations understand that legacy relational database approaches are neither cost-effective nor efficient for unlocking the wealth of information in unstructured data. Yet companies continue to devote the majority of their resources to managing the smallest portion of their data (structured), while moving the majority of their data (unstructured) into special-purpose databases or content management systems with little or no analytic capabilities.
Standards play a central role in creating an ecosystem that supports current and future needs for broad, real-time use of predictive analytics in an era of Big Data. Just a few years ago it was common to develop a predictive analytic model using a single proprietary tool against a sample of structured data. This would then be applied in batch, storing scores for future use in a database or data warehouse. Recently this model has been disrupted. There is a move to real-time scoring, calculating the value of predictive analytic models when they are needed rather than looking for them in a database. At the same time the variety of model execution platforms has expanded with in-database execution, columnar and in-memory databases as well as MapReduce-based execution becoming increasingly common.
The Power Exchange Informatica Connector for Google Analytics is designed to integrate Google Analytics sources within Informatica PowerCenter installations.

One week. One full week of no running. This is the first time since I started running that I have gone this long without running. It actually has not been bad mentally. The constant pain in my lower back reminds me that I can't and shouldn't run. But it's been a week. I'm starting to itch. Every day I tell myself "maybe tomorrow".... but every tomorrow, the pain is still there.
This might sound dumb, I keep forgetting to take showers. I usually take showers after my runs which is almost every day. But of course since I haven't been running, I haven't been sweaty or stinky. So I haven't felt the need to take a shower. Luckily, for everyone else in the office its winter and I have a sit down kind of job where the only time I break a sweat is if the elevator is down and I have to run up and down the stairs.
Whats the deal with Google Friend Connect? Is it really going away? WTF Google!!! Where does that leave us? I really dont want to deal with Google+ . And I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way. I dont have nearly as many followers as most of you, but I cherish and appreciate every single one. I started this blog just as an outlet to talk about the one thing I enjoy doing. Having you follow and read my ramblings is a blessing.
As some of you know, I have a Twitter account. Thank you for those of you that follow me. I'm not a big "Twitterer". A lot of times I forget about it and wont post for days. I mostly post links back to my blog or reply to other Tweets.
I've recently started a Facebook Page for my Blog. I have my blog posted on my personal Facebook, but none of my family or friends that I know of actually follow or read it. So I figured this would be a good way for me to promote it. I just started it so there's not much really up there yet, but I have some ideas for it.
Since Google Friend Connect is going away and since most people already have a Twitter and\or Facebook account, I figured that would be the way to go to keep and gain new followers. Follow if you wish. I currently follow some of you this way, but if I dont, please post your links, and I'll make sure to follow you.
"Maybe Tomorrow".......... Have a good weekend everybody!
I'm wishing you a pain-free tomorrow. And I'm wishing my husband a pain-free tomorrow too.
Looks like I'll be joining you on Facebook.
Ouch, I am so sorry about your back. I hope it heals very quickly!
I may be wrong on this - but I think google will continue friend connect for blogs on Blogger only. Of course probably half the blogs I read aren't on Blogger, so finding something else to track them all is still necessary. And again, I may be wrong.

Well, here's a whole bunch of pics from our evening. My parents, ILs, SIL & husband, and BIL arrived around 4:30 and we all chowed on some pizza while handing out candy to the few early trick or treat kids while trying to keep the kids' excitement to a dull roar. Thankfully, they were in all really good spirits since they all had NAPS. Yes, my 4 and almost 6 year old NAPPED! They needed it though since they were up until almost 10 last night and up around 6am this morning. The only rough part of the day was when Piper, 30 minutes before everyone arrived took a tumble off the couch landing face first into the side of a leg of the coffee table. She has a nice bruise on her cheek and forehead and a considerable bump on her head as well. Poor muffin! Finally, around 6:30, the kids couldn't take it anymore and we made our way out to get some candy. The rain had stopped shortly before and stayed away the whole time. Caroline was considerably braver this year and only took a little coaxing at the scarier houses. Bryce, on the other hand, was petrified from early on since we had a tough encounter with the guy down the street's scary house. (The guy had two boys Bryce and Piper's ages, but I guess he's really into Halloween and Bryce wouldn't even go to his side of the street. Piper shrieked when he came out in his painted up face and costume.) I kept reassuring it was just Mr. S - Little S's daddy - but that didn't help. So the rest of the night Bryce was pretty timid at even the regular houses. We were only out for an hour, but both of the big kids had fairly heavy pumpkin heads when we got home. So all in a good night.

Q: Ubuntu in Virtualbox crawling My brother has a Macbook Air and recently decided to try Ubuntu, so we set up Virtualbox and installed 12.10, it works fine but there definitely is a lag in visual effects, I know a MacBook Air is a lightweight in many aspects and I shouldn't expect much but I was wondering if there's any room for improving performance in the guest Ubuntu.
As a side note I installed the Guest Additions but it didn't seem to do much, we get to Full Screen now though.

Billy West (September 22, 1892 - July 21, 1975) was a film actor, producer, and director of the silent film era. He is best known as a Charlie Chaplin impersonator. Born Roy B. Weissburg in Russia, West adopted his professional name some time after emigrating to America. He appeared in many short films, first in Apartment No. 13 in 1912. In 1917 movie theaters couldn't get enough Charlie Chaplin comedies, and an enterprising producer hired West, who had been doing comic pantomimes on the vaudeville stage, to make imitation-Chaplin subjects to meet the demand. West, wearing the identical "tramp" costume and makeup, copied Chaplin's movements and gestures so accurately that he is often mistaken for the genuine performer. Chaplin himself saw the Billy West company filming on a Hollywood street, and told West, "You're a damned good imitator." Some West comedies were later re-released on the home-movie market as "Charlie Chaplin" pictures. Most of the West comedies of 1917-18 resembled the Chaplin comedies of 1916-17, with Oliver Hardy approximating the villainy of Eric Campbell, and Leatrice Joy in the Edna Purviance ingenue role.
Oliver Hardy and Bobby Ray enact a bellhop routine that is the slapstick quintessence.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Filly from Got this for my sister... Her skin looked smoother, tighter and had less puckering. She had been losing some weight after making a healthy change in her lifestyle so she didn't have incredible amounts of cellulite to reduce but without her telling me she was actually using the cream I saw the results with my own eyes. I recommend it to all my clients as with today's busy woman sometimes we skip a day or two in our regimens but the cream's results are maintained for up to 28 days after you stop the usage so it's great.

"Leading Ladies" extends beyond the stage
By Annika Prom, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Schippers exaggerates his anguish as his character Steve is deaf and mute.
The drama department concluded the school year with performances of "Leading Ladies," originally by Ken Ludwig, from June 1-3. "Leading Ladies," a comedy with Shakespeare references, interacted with the audience, prompting many laughs and moose calls from the audience.
The play revolves around Shakespearean actors Leo Clark (Colin Walker) and Jack Gable (Sam Schippers) who use their acting abilities to pose as Max and Steve respectively. However the two were mistaken as Max and Steve are instead nicknames for Maxine and Stephanie. They thus crossdress as them to claim the $2 million inheritance from Max and Steve's aunt Florence (Abbie Apana) who was announced dead earlier that morning.
When they both arrive at Florence's home, Leo and Jack learn that Florence's death was mistakenly determined by Doc (Michael Wollan). Instead of immediately claiming their inheritance as originally intended, they wait until Florence's niece, Meg (Briana Houtman), marries Duncan (Paul Pratt).
Though Steve is deaf and mute, Jack made the mistake of speaking while acting as Steve. The two become close to Meg. Over time, Duncan becomes increasingly suspicious of Max and Steve's true identities and works with the police in attempts to thwart them.
As Max falls in love with Meg, he alternates because his persona and Leo in order to further impress her because she has strong admiration for the actor. They prepare rehearsing for a rendition of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" to perform at Meg and Duncan's wedding.
However, Steve is shocked to see Leo and out of spite, Steve begins changing personas between him and Jack. Tensions further arise as Steve develops a liking for Audrey (Hannah Marshall) who is romantically involved with Butch (Ty Harden), Doc's son.
As Duncan receives a telegram from the real Max and Steve, he tries to expose the fakes to the household but they refuse to believe Duncan because the family has become so fond of them. With the wedding rapidly approaching, Leo pens a fake letter for Jack, posed as Steve, to dissuade Duncan against finding their true identities. That plan backfires, leading Steve to be kissed by Doc and Butch and storming away from the scene.
While Max and Steve reconvene in the living room, Max are caught half dressed as Leo. Though Meg and Audrey are upset at them, they accept their love. Jack and Audrey officially become a couple as Meg calls off her marriage to instead be with Leo.
Sophomore Colin Walker who played the dual roles of Leo Clark and Max said he felt the audience enjoyed the show more than he had originally thought. While Leo and Jack tried on outfits to look like women, Walker felt his entrance as Cleopatra was the highlight of his performance because "the laughter that entailed was kind of worth it."
Though Walker said many of his lines were late or not memorized perfectly, the actors' voices and intonation made up the light atmosphere of the theater. His biggest struggle with crossdressing was maintaining a feminine voice throughout the role.
"I felt that it made me glad I'm a man. It was really great having so much confidence because Maxine… you know she's right and she knows she's right and so it's weird being so confident in such an unruly situation," Walker said.
"Leading Ladies" was the first production for many of its actors, including junior Briana Houtman who played the female lead as Meg.
"We played it off really well. I love theater and I always have but I never felt that I was good enough so that's why I didn't do it," Houtman said.
Houtman's favorite scene was when Doc and Butch both kissed Steve in the chaos of a misunderstanding.
"The Sam scene where he's running around getting chased by all these people who want to do stuff with him… The highlight was definitely that part with Sam," she said.

After switching from being a geologist to being a professor, my life's work has been to profess what I know to be true: that knowing "how the earth works" will be essential for the future lives of my students. Teaching is what I do. This means the sharing of content is more important than the content itself. This is true whether I'm standing in front of the class, sitting in a seminar, writing course texts, running an online course, or publishing articles and books. The centrality of teaching was true in June 1973 when I was certified by the State of Minnesota to teach high-school science, and it remains true today as I chair the Geoscience curriculum committee at UConn, help oversee and teach UCONN's Honors Core curriculum, and co-advise many graduate students.

Mr. Mageek ft. Small Pikin – Who Cares (Prod. By Keylex)
Jonilar October 20, 2019	Africa Leave a comment
Following the release of 'Slow', with its accompanying visuals and also earning features on a few songs, a few weeks back, Mr. Mageek returns with another single titled 'Who Cares?', featuring Small Pikin.
Teaming up with his frequent producer, Keylex, Mr. Mageek addresses people who think he bothers about them. The beautiful song also talks about focusing on one's own path and journey, while ignoring naysayers.
Small Pikin sings in a more hilarious manner, spicing the song and toning it down a bit. One advice everybody can pick from this song is not to be bothered when people leave their side, because the right thing is to simply move forward and concentrate on one's self as that's all that matters.
Mr. Mageek is gradually cementing his status in the Nigerian and Ghanaian music industry. He's indeed one artist to always look out for when it comes to churning out good music and it's of no doubt that 'Who Cares?' is another good one.
Download, listen to the song below and share your thoughts with us.

What's the point of doing theater if you're not going to have fun? Well the kids of Cowboys Don't Sing are certainly having a blast! The new Western themed musical follows the archetypal adventures of a Cowboy who comes to save a town, only to discover he's landed himself in not your average western village. This here town is a singin' town. Throw in some racist jokes and witty musical theater spoofs, Cowboys is a fun farce.
Created by Dennis Flynn and Johnny Kelley with a catchy score by TJ Alcala, Cowboys has a basic plot with very little stakes. There is the major conflict of trying to catch the bad guys, but the plot twist gets revealed way too early in "Act I" to propel the action forward and maintain momentum. Luckily, the comedy helped the show remain engaging. Like the recurring joke of a perpetually dying actor by gun shot, though a stock idea, had a fresh new take. Two standout numbers included "Do.-", a song about Morse code smartly including tap and "Language Barrier", a show stopping Act II song featuring a translator that stole the scene. Without spoiling too much, "Intermission the Musical" could have earned its place with much more conviction.
Cowboys features an ensemble of fresh faced talent. Despite the amateur feeling, the ensemble is dedicated to doing their best. Though not all of the cast could actually sing, you forgave it as comedy. The company played well with each other with some signature performances. Megan Beatty as Alice epitomized the standard musical theater ingénue with hilarity. Matt Van Orden is a natural comedian as Sheriff. As Donald the drunk, Terence Petersen had some great comedic moments. Tim Rozmos played Shadow the Horse entertainingly, earning his "Act II" number. Jeffrey Sharkey was delightfully awkward as Max. Justin Clark brought the funny in his various bit parts. But it was Steve Tyson, who was granted the witty recurring joke, that stole the show by the end.
While Cowboys is non-stop action, it's truly a funny idea with great potential that needs some more work. Perhaps with a fresh eye director to step in and take the reigns and fix up the messy bits, Cowboys could go somewhere. Cowboys Don't Sing is not your big budget musical, but check it out because you'll want to brag that you saw an early version of it!

Q: Is "total boundedness" a topological property? I have been trying to find a counterexample of ...
If $d$ and $e$ are topologically equivalent metrics (they generate the same open sets), and $(X,d)$ is totally bounded then $(X,e)$ is totally bounded.
Any ideas?

A: If $d(x,y)$ is a metric, then $\frac{d(x,y)}{1+d(x,y)}$ is another metric giving the same topology but bounded by 1.
(I'll leave it to you to show A. It's a metric, and B. They give the same topology.)

As I was asleep and missed that totally bounded is what you asked about:
Not every metric space has a topologically equivalent metric that's totally bounded, but any subset of e.g. $\mathbb{R}$ does, by a homeomorphism from $\mathbb{R}$ to $(0,1)$, for example $f(t) = \frac{1}{1+e^{-t}}$ gives a homeomorphism $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow (0,1)$.
The example another poster gave, that $\{1/n : n \in \mathbb{Z}, n > 0\}$ has the discrete topology but is totally bounded, is a simple example of this phenomenon.

A: Consider $\mathbb N$. Let $d$ be the discrete metric and $e:\mathbb N\times\mathbb N\to[0,\infty)$ defined as $$e(n,m)\equiv\left|\frac 1n-\frac 1m\right|\quad\forall n,m\in\mathbb N.$$
Then $e$ is a totally bounded metric, whereas $d$ is not totally bounded. However, both $d$ and $e$ induce the discrete topology.

The time period is the present. The location is Peru, South America in a mountain village. A young man named Paz Cuzco is herding his lamas near an ancient Inca village, where his grandfather had lived and generations of his people before him lived. Night begins to fall and Paz makes sure his flock of llamas is protected for the night.
Out of the corner of his eye a gleam catches his attention. Lifting his head, he sees it is a star falling from the sky. The direction is north, towards the North America. He sees it as a sign that he must travel north. For a long time now Paz has felt an inner calling, ever since his grandfather took him on a vision quest into the sacred curved light cave. The further into the earth you traveled, the darker and more quiet the cave became. You had to rely on something other than external senses here. Here the only light was whatever could be generated from within.
It was in the light cave Paz had the vision. Here Paz saw many people, people unlike his family and those he lived with. Strange faces and shapes, dressed in colors he had never seen before. They were engaged in activities foreign to him, and Paz later had a difficult time when he tried to put his experience into words. His grandfather understood. He too had known visions. He had spent all his days living between the worlds, interpreting the signs.
"These are dome people," his grandfather said, "They are continuing the ways of the ancients." These words ignited an inner drive in Paz, a compelling urge he had never experienced before. It was beyond curiosity, beyond adventure, beyond his own desire. He knew he must seek these people out. These people live in the north where the great mountains that once stood proud have turned to dust and become hills. That is all his grandfather told him.
In a short time vision left Paz. Almost as quickly as it had come. Sometimes the hoot of an owl or the wings of a bat would stir the urge, and even though Paz took it to be a physical discomfort of hunger or disagreeable food, his inner sense told him the feeling was more. On this night, this star – this light in the sky – brings the memory back in a flood of images. The innervision has returned, and this time it is familiar. Paz knows the time has come to embark upon the journey, the journey that will lead him to these people who are continuing the ways of the ancient ones. When he tells his grandfather, the old man's eyes twinkle with wise encouragement. Paz appreciates his grandfather's presence when he tells the rest of the family, and he feels certain what he can not find the words to answer, his grandfather perhaps will.
His mother helps him pack a few things, advising him on what he will need in the days to come. Paz is not concerned, somehow knowing that he will meet people along the way who will help him, and give him guidance and direction, shelter and food. His father offers a much valued map, which Paz receives with gratitude. He smiles, and his father remarks about how he can see his grandfather in Paz at this moment. Paz knows the kind of direction he will need on this journey will come from his inner voice.
Along the way he is drawn to visit the cities of his ancestors: the Incas, the Aztecs, and the Anasazi. He knows that their cities are along the way and he has always wanted to visit them to know the history of his people. In time Paz will realize each is a piece to a greater whole.
The first city that he comes to is the mountain city of Machu Pichu. Paz explores the city, marveling at the great sacred stones from millennia past. As he moves down each pathway he begins noticing designs etched in the city wall. These must be symbols, he says to himself. One in particular draws him in. It is a picture of a half moon, lying on its flat side. It looks like a rising sun, he thinks. Ah! The vision in the curved light cave surfaces and Paz remembers what he has seen before.
After lingering for days in Machu Pichu, the urge drives him to the base of the mountain to an Indian village where an old story has been told for thousands of years by the elders of the tribe. Here Paz learns of the people in the north who are the reincarned masters of long ago. The chief of the tribe hands Paz a sacred stone that has been past down for centuries. Without any words spoken of Paz's destination, the chief hands Paz the stone asking him to give it to the people in the north. Respectfully, he receives the stone and puts it into his pouch. Then a woman gives him a piece of cloth, hand woven from brilliant fibers fashioned into a beautiful pattern. Again, without words, Paz understands that he is the bearer of these gifts. He has been chosen to carry the messages of these people and he is humbled.
Throughout the day he receives wisdom from these elders, then at dawn following the blessing of the tribe and food, he continues on his way. From village to village Paz makes his way, telling the people he meets of his quest. They in turn share their histories, their visions, offering Paz whatever he might need to make his trip easier. With each mountain scaled, Paz grows stronger in innervision. With each valley explored, his inner radiance burns more steadily.
Paz travels into Mexico and into the old city of Tenochtitlan. He spends many days here studying the writings on the walls, and remembering. Strange images seem to flood his mind that seem to come from nowhere. Paz's innervision has returned in a fury. Memories of long ago, of ceremonies and people and of something even more intriguing. A shiver runs up his spine as he begins to identify the feeling of being here before. Again he sees the moon symbol, the rising sun, the cave dome symbol and he knows he is on the right track.
In a nearby village live the descendents of the Aztecs, a people called the Toltec. Paz shares his story with them and they freely welcome him as a member of their tribe. That night around the campfire the tribe leader tells tales of long ago. Listening with his inner senses he absorbs their cultures, becoming more radiant. Again he is given a special gift. Here is a stone that has been touched by every member of the tribe since the tribe began. Holding the rock in the palm of his hand, it warms his hand all the way to his fingertips. The heat travels up his arm and into his entire body, and Paz radiates a greater inner light. He smiles, and a young girl steps forward offering him a circle of cloth. "Each female has made at least one pass of the weaving stick to make this for you." Paz realizes these people have been waiting for his coming, and again he is in awe. Speechless, he places the rock and the cloth in his pouch. The evening is filled with singing and dancing, and as dawn announces the new day, Paz moves on.
The innervision tells Paz when he reaches the North America. He is drawn to countless native American Indian tribes, until word of his travels and quest has reached all tribes in the Americas that still hold fast to truths taught by the ancestors. Those who have yet to experience his coming look for him, eagerly awaiting his arrival.
At the four corners region in the North America, Paz is told of entire cities that are carved into the mountainside. These are the old cities of the Anasazi Indians, whose name means "ancient ones". In nearby villages, stories are told by the Hopi elders of these ancient ones. Stories about how they came to this area after their lands were flooded, and then after a few hundred years of living peacefully with the Earth, disappeared forever. No one knows where they went. Some say they saw the corruption of man and decided to return to their homes in the stars. It is also said that some stayed behind to help those who were ready find their way to the beginning place again.
Paz's mind opens. Flashbacks, vivid images fill his mind. It is as if he is transported back to the curved light cave of his earlier years. The shiver rises up his spine, stronger than ever before, bringing light from inside his eyes and illuminating his brain. He sees ships that float in the air, and a vast city where the "lighted ones" lived. Paz struggles to sustain the vision and he hears his grandfather's voice, "Those who sustain know how to set free." Paz knows this is the answer, but what does it mean? He begins to worry, his vision seems to move from him like sands through his fingers. He wants to grasp it, to hold it more tightly, yet the urge within him says no. He stops, and in that moment his mind is still. He cannot hear his own breathing, and he realizes he has been holding his breath, for he does not know how long.
"Those who sustain know how to see free." Paz exhales one long, steady breath. Immediately before his wisdom eye a four-sided mountain appears. It is made of blocks that appear from thin air. Each side is perfectly flat. Now a new voice comes whispering into his mind's ear, "It brings peace to a mother giving birth." Paz does not know what the words mean, but this no longer distracts or troubles him for he now knows when the time comes, the meaning will be revealed.
Seeking counsel, Paz tells the Hopi leader of his visions. The respected leader invites Paz into his dwelling place, and there opens a chest. Out of it he pulls a scroll that seems to crumble as he touches it. It was so old, Paz thinks. On the scroll is drawn a picture. Below the picture a message is written in the language of the ancient ones. These lines and symbols Paz has never seen, yet somehow he knows their meaning. His inner eye reads the message, "crystal people of the new age." Paz recognizes the picture as the four-sided mountain of stone blocks, flat on all sides. Through his mind's eye he enters into the mountain and the next vision is revealed. The inner mountain is carved into a dome. All the forms Paz has experienced, from the first vision in the cave to now, merge into one and Paz remembers why he has come there. The old Hopi Indian assures him that all his questions will be answered in time.
So many experiences have come to Paz here in this area of four corners. He does not know how to think of the visions, the scroll or any of the stories he was told this evening. Neither does the old Hopi leader. As some old mysteries have been solved, new ones are surfacing. The more he learns, the more he knows he needs to learn. With many questions dancing in his mind, Paz falls asleep aware that at daylight he will be on his way.
Paz leaves the American Southwest and moves toward the Midwest, passing into dusty plains of Oklahoma. The people of the Cherokee nation greet him as though he is a lost member of the tribe. Everyone talks with him, gives him gifts and asks him now to share his stories.
He stays there for many days recovering his strength. Many Indians offer to take him to his destination by car, but he knows that he must go alone and on foot. By the time he leaves the Cherokee people, news of his journey and great quest has reached all tribes in the Americas, even those who have lost connection with the ancient ways. Ceremonies and dances in his honor are common. Drawings and etchings are created depicting the stories of Paz, and most of all the ancient ways are being brought back into the light of day.
As Paz passes into Missouri he feels a shift in the energy there. It is an energy that is very similar to the energy he is feeling in his dreams. For many nights now he has been having dreams of swirling energy vortexes in the colors of the rainbow. Geometrical structures that seem to breathe in endless space. Spheres that glow with radiant energy seem to rise up from the earth, as if the curved light cave dome has pushed itself up from the heart of Mother Earth.
None of these things did he see as a llama herder in Peru.
With his inner senses increasingly keener, Paz can follow the energy vortex. He is drawn by it, tracing it all the way to its origin in a hamlet named for the wind. Along the way he meets and sees people that he believes must live on other continents of Earth. Their clothing and language is very foreign reminding him of his first vision so long ago. These people too are on the journey. All along he had traveled alone, yet never felt lonely. Now he knows why, there are many who are making the journey.
On his last night of travel Paz knows that he is so close he doesn't sleep. He continues to walk all night, until dawn when he arrives at his destination. He sees the great dome rising on the hill. From the west, the morning sun kisses the beautiful structure as if to awaken her. All around him the Earth appears to be on fire with the colors of autumn.
Paz meets many people that day, people his eyes have never seen before yet his heart and mind greet them as old friends. Paz gives his gifts to the people and learns of their ways and their teachings. Then he approaches the Dome.
Somehow he knows this is the moment he has been preparing for all his life. As his steps follow the curving walkway, he senses a rise in his energy of anticipation. He now stands before the great door of the threshold to the entrance. He is welcomed by the gatekeeper. A thrill overcomes him as he enters. Memories stir. This is a place of curved light. Paz realizes all thoughts in the Dome are reflected to him, and back to him.
Paz stills his mind using the mental discipline – the ways of the ancients – that his Grandfather has taught him. In an instant he is in eternity. He sees all and seems to know and perceive all time and space. This Dome is somehow connected to the holy dome cave of his youth and to all the planet. He perceives the energy lines and grid of Mother Earth. They are as Grandfather had taught him.
Paz expands his consciousness to the stars throughout the universe. One star glows brightly, drawing his attention to the Eastern sky. His mind seems to return to Earth and to the Peace Dome, yet the bright shining star remains in front of him. As his attention returns to his physical body and senses, he realizes the star remains in front of his eyes. The star is a smiling maiden, a girl about his age. She seems to have a familiar or similar vibration although it is apparent that this girl is from a far away land. Her clothing is strange and colorful, different yet beautiful. Her eyes hold the shining star with a light radiating from within. She is moving rhythmically toward him, gliding as though dancing. Paz is drawn toward the girl, and she smiles.

Park is quiet, full hookups and a reasonable rate. Water pressure is really low and if you have pets the cockleburs are a little annoying but the location is great. Municipal pool is really nice and for the price I am pleased.
We've stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. There are a lot of shady spots (not all of them though). The spots are level for the most part. It's well maintained and clean. The restrooms are older and small, but not horrible. It's a great place for families and couples alike. There are plenty of places to ride bikes and there are three playgrounds. 2 are located in the city park but one is actually in the the rv park. The 2 in the city park are well shaded. If you enjoy bike riding then this place is for you. The pool is next to the rv park and is $2 a person to swim, but it's worth the cost. There are 2 very large pools. One is about four feet deep in entirety and the other is shallow with a deep end diving board. This is the perfect pool area for families with diverse swim abilities. The airplanes are fun to watch but did not disturb our sleep.
We have stayed here twice. Our recent stay was for 3 days in early March. The town runs the park. The sites are paved, nicely spaced, and fairly level. All have full hook ups, cable TV and there is free wifi. The bath houses are a bit rustic but usable. The RV park is about 3 miles outside of Fredericksburg, TX. Its is near the airport and sometimes you can hear small planes taking off. Its reasonably priced at $30 per night. They do not take credit cards.
I have stayed at this park nice park but the people you have here working are sure not what you want , they had a great man here a couple years and he was great the ones you have now are awful . Don't know how to run a park if this is a city park and this is the type of people in this town would never live here .
Great park. Has everything you could want. Everything works and they r very nice. Only cash r check!


Summary: Tomoaki is your average university student, however one day he receives a strange flyer which said that there was an easy job which anyone could do and it was offering a 30,000 yen wage per day. So, Tomoaki went to the address on the flyer since he really needed to money. The address actually led Tomoaki to a beautiful big house with lots of stewards. It turns out that the owner of the residence would be away so Tomoaki would have to act as head steward and keep everything under control in the owners absence. So he started his work as head steward, however being around all these butlers and trying to complete the almost impossible request from the boss has awakened his sadistic side. What will happen to him now?
Note: Save often. The engine likes to get very...finicky, after day 10 or so.
