This is a post for my imaginary pastor's wife friends in cyberspace. I don't know your names or faces but I feel like I know you. And you know me. Some days we feel like we've been given the greatest lot in life and other days we want to warn others thinking about entering ministry to run far, far away! Haha. Don't run from God though. Seriously. He is worth anything He has called you to.
I recently figured out a pattern that happens on many Sunday mornings. Maybe you've experienced this. You get up early to meet with Jesus. You've learned along the way not to sacrifice your own intimacy with Him in order to serve others. Plus, you know how badly you need that time because kids, bad hair days, unexpected freeway closures, people without filters, etc. Then you're washing your hair, blow drying it, straightening it, maybe even putting it in hot rollers for a minute if you like a southern look.
A conversation starts happening in your head. It sounds like your voice and you're talking to someone. Maybe several someones. It isn't how you normally speak to people. It sounds defensive and self-protective. A little argumentative. You try to shake it off but in a few minutes you're having imaginary conversations again. Your blood pressure is on the rise and the expression on your face while you put on your makeup is not cute. You wipe the corner of your eye because you got a little misty feeling sorry for yourself.
You realize it might be helpful to turn on some worship music, so you try that. But your good-for-nothing, cracked, already outdated one-year-old phone decides it doesn't want to play any music. Gah!
While you were getting ready for church, the enemy derailed you into training for a boxing match. He was in your ear coaching you, motivating you to knock the crap out of that punching bag. Practice now so when the moment comes, you'll know exactly what to say. You always regret holding your tongue, don't you? Be ready! Be on your toes!
This is so tragic. Your pure-hearted devotion to Christ got twisted into something aggressive and angry. You were really looking forward to worshipping with your church family. You had it in your heart to encourage a few sisters who had a difficult week. You had asked God to guide your prayers for people and make them effective. And then this! Is this what's really in your heart? Should you even be in ministry?
Girl, you've been in a battle. Someone does need knocking out and it's the Accuser who's been bad-mouthing your brethren. I pray God will help you and me recognize these Sunday morning attacks and teach us how not to play along with them. Worship music helps so much! Have you heard it said that worship is warfare? I love that thought. Vanquish him with your loud, glorious voice praising your God! My voice doesn't sound glorious to me, but I believe it sounds good to Him. Put on the armor of God according to Ephesians 6 as soon as you wake up. It would be better to be a couple minutes late than to walk on the battlefield without it.
When I think about Sunday mornings in my parents' house, I can hear my mom's music blasting and I can see her scurrying through the house with at least one arm lifted in the air. All this in a fog of hairspray, of course. She looked pretty in her Sunday clothes, but she was waging war. I love it.

This week Cath brought a bunch of games to give away free to a good home. This is the kind of thing you're missing if you're not coming to IpBoG!
I started the night with Codenames. I'm generally bad at this game but sometimes slow and steady wins the race and my team managed to win in all the rounds, even when I was the spymaster. Afterwards we played a quick game of For Sale which Cath won followed by the main event, Onwards To Venus. Like Mythotpoia from the previous weeks this is another Martin Wallace game that I picked up for cheap. It's is a kind of area control game set in some steam punk style alternate history universe that I've never heard of but is allegedly slightly famous. I preferred this game to Mythotopia but I won so I would say that. In all honesty it seemed less generic and fiddly and more like something I'd play again rather than something which will probably sink to the bottom of my cupboard.
Machi Koro was played along with the Millionaires Row expansion which Phillip said was an improvement on the base game. Eight Minute Empire: Legends was also played which Phillip also said was an improvement on the base game.
Others played Mafia de Cuba, Pit, Spyfall and Arctic Scavengers. Remember next week is our two year anniversary and so we'll be having a two player game night so make sure to bring all your best two player games. Or at least your games that work best with two players.


Swift codes, or BIC codes as they are sometimes called, are used for International Wire Transfers. Compared to routing numbers which allow you to make wire transfers domestically, Swift codes are used for incoming international fund transfers. If you want to send or receive money internationally to a bank account held with BINA TATALAKSANA PASIFIK PT, you'll need the appropriate Swift code..
Important: These Swift/BIC codes for BINA TATALAKSANA PASIFIK PT are for making or receiving an international wire transfer.


SEO includes Social Media signals these days.
The concept of SMO has been kicked around for a while, but much like SEO it's always been kind of a gray area, a moving target. How do you optimize what people are sharing on Facebook and Twitter, and Google+?
How do you control what people see when they share your content on Social Networks?
Since Facebook and LinkedIn rely on the Open Graph protocol, and Twitter offers meta tags, and Google+ would like you to use semantic microdata markup.
You can control the images, titles and texts that people share so you know exactly what message will be conveyed to social networks when your blog post, product page, or whatever gets shared.
And what about Twitter cards?
You do know how to get your little face next to your blog post in search results?

Savage was allowed to return to the Texans' Dec. 10 home game vs. the 49ers after taking the hit. In the joint statement, the National Football League and NFLPA said the medical staff saw the "initial broadcast video" but not the slow-motion replay that made clear Savage's fencing posture and the twitching of his hands.
Bradley and his family". During the time of the alleged incident, Bradley and the Celtics were in town to play the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. "The two sides came together to work out a deal to keep her quiet and prevent her from releasing any video, photos or audio", TMZ reported. Bradley, who was traded to the Detroit Pistons in July, vehemently denied all wrongdoing to TMZ , via his attorney.
That playoff performance may have overshadowed how steadily good Davis was in the regular season for casual fans, but he was great before it was crunch time too. The deal's average annual value bests Aroldis Chapman's record of $17.2 million on a five-year contract. Over nine Major League Baseball seasons, primarily with the Rays and Royals, he has 79 saves.
Despite his matchwinning contribution, Arsene Wenger was forced to address accusations that Sanchez had fallen out with his teammates, some of whom opted not to join in the celebrations after the former Barcelona forward had put his side 2-1 ahead, with Laurent Koscielny remaining alone in his own half.
In an interview with Prince Harry , Obama made it clear where he stands. Pippen also said James had eclipsed Jordan in at least one way. "Although I love LeBron, I'm a Chicago guy". Pippen then (sort of) clarified he wasn't picking James over Jordan, but rather pointing out a player like Jordan or Kobe Bryant doesn't have the same kind of versatility as James.
The English FA made representations to Uefa and Federation Internationale de Football Association regarding the allegations. But Brewster is not impressed by UEFA's actions and is adamant it needs to do more in order to stop such incidents.

For Stoke, their manager summarized it best. This match will be earmarked as one they must win ahead of a more hard run of fixtures in January. Our start wasn't easy for many reasons but we want to work and improve. Antonio Conte's side have kept a clean sheet in their previous three games in the Premier League . " Chelsea are a good side", Hughes said. He attempted four shots, made three key passes and completed four dribbles.
The first part - beating a Miami team that will be eager to play spoiler for their divisional rivals - will be hard enough. The Bills need to beat the Dolphins and get some help to end a 17-year playoff drought. "In the first year (with the Bills), I feel like we've accomplished some things, we've done a lot of good things but our work isn't done yet". Their past three wins have all come by just one score.
The company will replace the current Swift with the third generation model, which was unveiled at the 87th edition of Geneva Motor Show in March. It seems that the auto has just passed the sheet metal welding and assembly phase and appears to be at an inspection booth.
The Sun reports that their divorce case is listed to be heard by a judge at London's Central Family Court. Paperwork showed Mrs Redknapp had filed for divorce on the grounds of Mr Redknapp's "unreasonable behaviour". Louise Nurding had married Mr Redknapp on a luxury yacht in Bermuda in 1998. The couple have two sons, Charley, now 13, and Beau, nine. She continued: "For me, going back to work has been something that has been a real saviour".
The 22-year-old German worldwide Leon Goretzka has emerged as one of the hottest prospects in Bundesliga this season. He will therefore be able to leave Schalke on a free transfer, in a situation similar to that of his fellow Germany worldwide Emre Can at Liverpool .
On Sunday, Pauline revealed new Cleveland Browns' general manager John Dorsey was one of those two people (for what it's worth, Dorsey wasn't introduced until December 10). It has since been revealed that one of the general managers that said to stay away from Rosen is newly hired Cleveland Browns GM John Dorsey. Second-round pick DeShone Kizer has been miserable this season, and it is certain he is not the answer moving forward.
Thierry, his father, suggested that they would drag out the talks to keep the door open to move to Madrid, who have long courted the player. Chelsea forward Eden Hazard's future at the club has been thrown into doubt amid reports that he has rejected a contract extension.
Despite Swansea's struggles this season, with the Welsh outfit now sitting bottom of the Premier League table, Mawson has had a decent season and has not given up hope of earning a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the 2018 World Cup.
Leicester find themselves eighth with an eleven-point gap separating them from Liverpool who occupy fourth. Klopp's men will play two Premier League games in the space of a 48 hour period with Saturday's game followed with a New Year's Day visit to Burnley .
Everton have been in impressive form since the appointment of Allardyce. Everton are looking to make a quick start to next month's transfer window - and could land a new striker before January rolls around. Allardyce, whose side faces Bournemouth on Saturday, hopes to have midfielder Ross Barkley back from injury soon, while Wayne Rooney has recovered from a bout of illness.
Additionally, the 76ers are among the NBA's elite on the offensive backboards, ranking third in offensive rebounding percentage (26.4 percent). Philadelphia heads into the contest with records of 15-18 straight up (SU) and 17-16 against the spread (ATS).

The rating was upgraded by KeyBanc Capital Markets to "Overweight" on Monday, July 24.
It was an impressive display from Mauricio Pochettino's side, but the game will always be remembered for Kane's record breaking day, as he cemented his status as one of the top flight's most prolific strikers. "And to score these goals at 24". "That is a massive point for everyone and must be for him". The England international's tally also saw him end 2017 with 56 goals to his name in just 52 matches for club and country, more than any other player in Europe's top-five leagues.
He is an exceptional person and an exceptional player " This partnership continues to blossomCesar Azpilicueta has provided six assists for Chelsea teammate Alvaro Morata in the Premier League this season. Cesar Azpilicueta has played down the significance of his brilliant form for Chelsea so far this season. . Morata headed in shortly after the break, and Marcos Alonso sealed the victory.
It's absolutely fine, that's as much as I know". You're able to clean the ball and that's what we were doing. "One thing you want to make sure you do, when you do anything to the ball besides shining it, is make sure you go to the umpire (and show him what you want to do)".
Garcia came in at a total of 235.8 pounds for a fight that was set for 209.4 pounds, missing weight by 26.4 pounds. And while the fight really has no business taking place, Rizin probably would attract a massive new audience if it allows the bout to go on as scheduled.
Despite San Antonio playing almost half the season (34 games) without its entire roster healthy, veteran guard Manu Ginobili's experience has been that the team usually starts to take significant shape during its annual "rodeo road trip", which takes place every February when the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo takes over the AT&T Center.

Q: jquery Scroll event in $(window), find out the position difference I'm using:
$(window).scroll(function(e){
.....
});

How can i find out the number of pixels (and the direction, if absolute number) that were scrolled?
Thanx

A: Use scrollTop to determine what you're looking for.

A: The line below doesn't work on Firefox 19 (which I updated this year: 2013).
var lastScroll = document.body.scrollTop;

The solution, which will also improve the cross browser compatibility, is to use a jQuery call:
var lastScroll = $(document).scrollTop();

Final result:
$(function(){
    var lastScroll = $(document).scrollTop();
    $(window).scroll(function(e) {
        var newScroll = $(document).scrollTop();
        console.log(newScroll - lastScroll);
        lastScroll = newScroll;
    });
});

Enjoy!

A: You could try using this:
$('selector').bind('scroll', function(e){
    e.currentTarget.scrollTop; // .scrollLeft ...
});

A: Here is one way:
jQuery(function($) {

L'osmolalità è una misura della concentrazione di una soluzione; rappresenta il numero di osmoli di soluto per chilogrammo di solvente.

Si distingue dall'osmolarità  che è definita invece come il numero di osmoli di soluto per litro di soluzione. Sebbene in generale quello che ci interessa sia il numero di particelle osmoticamente attive di una soluzione, cioè la sua osmolarità, tuttavia nella pratica operativa l'osmolalità è una grandezza più precisa da gestire perché non risente della temperatura ambientale e della natura della soluzione.

Nell'allestimento di uno standard osmolale è sufficiente pesare una quantità di soluto pari alle osmoli desiderate e un chilogrammo di solvente. Nell'allestimento di uno standard osmolare  occorre pesare la quantità desiderata di soluto e aggiungere una quantità (variabile in funzione della temperatura e della natura della soluzione) di solvente fino all'ottenimento di 1 litro di soluzione. Nel caso dell'osmolalità il numero di molecole di soluto in rapporto con quelle di solvente è costante, nell'osmolarità è variabile.

Marie Chouinard Dancers Push Boundaries In Two Wesleyan Performances
By SHARMA PIERSALL HOWARD
Special to The Courant |
The "Henri Michaux - Mouvements'' ballet performed by dancers with the Compagnie Marie Chouinard. (Sylvie-Ann ParŽ, Sylvie-Ann ParŽ)
Dressed in black, the dancers wiggle, leap, and even hiss. Projected onto a screen behind them are the energetic ink drawings from a book titled "Mouvements" by Belgian poet and artist Henri Michaux.
At times they pose, leg extended, or crouch. They also converge to form clusters of limbs. Sometimes they dance in a group or in duets.
But at all moments, the dancers are ferocious, committed and intent in the contemporary dance titled "Henri Michaux: Mouvements" that will have its Connecticut premiere at Wesleyan University's Center for The Arts Friday and Saturday, Feb. 6 and 7.
Crafted by the ever-intriguing Marie Chouinard, the work is one of two ballets her Montreal-based company will perform. "Mouvements" was driven by Chouinard's 20-year fascination with Michaux's 64 pages of India ink drawings inspired by movement and a search for freedom outside of words.
"I took it like a message, I went page by page, drawing by drawing, to make the dancers find themselves into the shapes. Some are very complicated, like when there are two heads. That's why they are dressed in black from head to toe and dancing on a white floor, so they are like black ink on a white page, and simultaneously we are projecting the drawings one after the other, so the audience can follow it, so there is like a game with the audience," said Chouinard.
Vitality, and a sense of emergence, is what Chouinard said she is capturing from the ink drawings, as well as high density. As a choreographer, she said she was drawn to the radical contrast of the black drawings on white paper, inspiring her movement, which she described as very sharp and precise. The dance is set to a score by the electroacoustic composer, Louis Dufort.
The set for the dance is a three-dimensional representation of Michaux's book, which includes a poem in the middle of the drawings that is read in French when the section comes up on the screen. The poem's translation, however, will be in the audience's program, so they can continue to follow along.
"They render the physicality and meaning of the book onstage," said Chouinard of the dancers.

Although the movement in "Mouvements" is functional, with the dancers assuming literal interpretations of the shapes, the piece mines a wealth of human expression.
"There's an emotional intensity into each new shape, there is total engagement," said Chouinard.
Spotlight On The Duet
While the very structured "Mouvements" provides audiences with a literal vision and interpretation, in Chouinard's other work, "Gymnopédies," the choreographer tackles a more mutable task: the exploration of the duet.
Set to three atmospheric and quirky piano pieces by French composer Erik Satie, the dance is imbued with intimacy, with mostly a man and woman dancing in duet, but sometimes a man and man or woman and woman. The piano solo enhances the embracive quality of the dance, and dancers even play the piano, reflecting, said Chouinard, an exceptional level of dedication.
Duets flow from one to another, and throughout the work Chouinard sprinkles some humor, reflecting Satie's spirit.
[From CTNow] Theater review: 'Heartless' at Hole in the Wall a timely play of isolation »
"He was a man of great wit and fun," said Chouinard.
One of the female dancers plunges into deep squats on her toe shoes. At other times she plucks her way playfully across the stage, statuesque, triumphant and tempting.
In other sections, dancers sport red clown noses, inserting a bit of intrigue into the mix, as if there is some secret levity known to the interior of the dance itself, and up to the audience to interpret.
The dance exudes beauty, as the dancers are like moving sculptures, their strong, lithe bodies barely clad. And in a few moments in the piece, dancers appear nude.
In one scene, couples holding hands walk slowly and calmly away with their backs to the audience, to the back curtains where they disappear. In another moment, one couple is holding hands, and they appear from the curtains. This time they walk towards the audience in a state of peace and contentment.

"I hope they are left with an experience and feel different, like a new dimension is opened up for a little while, that it nourishes the self for a little while, like a landscape or encounter with a lover or friend," said Chouinard of how she hopes audiences will experience her work, which has earned her mantles such as "the high priestess of the avant garde."
The dance Chouinard brings to Wesleyan, said Pamela Tatge, director for the Center of the Arts, is a not-to-miss opportunity.
"It is truly original. The dancers are strong and fearless and are willing to embrace anything she sends their way. She has a keen interest in pushing the boundaries of conventional notions of propriety and is unafraid to do so," said Tatge of Chouinard, whose company performs in major venues worldwide.
COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 6 and 7 at Wesleyan's Center for the Arts, 45 Wyllys Ave., Middletown. Tickets are $25, $22 for seniors, Wesleyan faculty/staff/alumni, non-Wesleyan students, $6 Wesleyan students, 860-685-3355, or www.wesleyan.edu/cfa/boxoffice. There will be a pre-performance dance talk by DanceLink Fellow Chloe Jones, 7:30 p.m., Feb. 6, in the Center For the Arts Hall. Dine/Dance/Discover is 5:30 p.m. Feb. 7 in Fayerweather Dance and Theater Studios, 45 Wyllys Ave., with an additional $15 charge to regular ticket price.

Die Docs in Clouds GmbH ist ein Unternehmen für Soft- und Hardwarelösungen im Bereich der Telemedizin mit Sitz in Aachen. Als Spin-Off der RWTH Aachen besteht eine Zusammenarbeit mit Forschungseinrichtungen der Uniklinik der RWTH Aachen. Fachärzte und Ingenieure entwickeln telemedizinische Lösungen für stationäre und ambulante Senioren-Pflegeeinrichtungen, die Palliativversorgung sowie die hausärztliche Versorgung. Neben der Entwicklung von telemedizinischen Produkten ist die Docs in Clouds GmbH regelmäßig an Forschungsprojekten zur Entwicklung von medizintechnischen Innovationen beteiligt. Co-Gründer und Geschäftsführer des Unternehmens ist der Facharzt für Anästhesiologie Michael Czaplik.

Geschichte
Die Idee, ein telemedizinisches Versorgungskonzept für das deutsche Rettungswesen zu entwickeln, stammt unter anderem von Rolf Rossaint, Direktor der Klinik für Anästhesiologie des Universitätsklinikums Aachen der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule Aachen (RWTH Aachen). Nach Jahren der Entwicklung und Forschung wurde im Jahr 2013 die Docs in Clouds GmbH gegründet. Im Jahr 2014 wurde der "Telenotarzt" nach dem Durchlaufen diverser Forschungsprojekte in den kommunalen Rettungsdienst der Stadt Aachen eingeführt. Bis November 2020 hat Docs in Clouds in Zusammenarbeit mit der umlaut AG in einem gemeinsamen Joint Venture namens umlaut telehealthcare diesem System zum Erfolg verholfen. Das Ministerium für Arbeit, Gesundheit und Soziales des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen plant, dass bis spätestens Ende des Jahres 2022 in jedem Regierungsbezirk mindestens ein Telenotarzt-Standort den Regelbetrieb aufgenommen hat.

Mit dem Aufkommen der COVID-19-Pandemie im März 2020 ist die Nachfrage an Videosprechstunden und telemedizinischen Lösungen plötzlich gestiegen, sodass das Unternehmen im Laufe des Jahres etwa einhundert TeleDoc-Produkte verkauft und sich personell verdoppelt hat. Neben dem Vertrieb ist die Docs in Clouds GmbH auch Partner in verschiedenen Forschungsprojekten. Als Konsortialführer entwickelt das Unternehmen im Projekt FALKE den Einsatz eines unbemannten Flugsystems zur Sichtung von Verletzten bei Massenanfällen von Verletzten (MANV). Das Projekt wird durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert. Seit 2019 ist Docs in Clouds Teil des Projekts AIDA. Das Akronym steht für Arbeitsentwicklung in der Altenpflege und erforscht die Einführung eines telemedizinischen Notdienst-Konzeptes in der stationären Altenpflege. Das Projekt wird gefördert durch den Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE).

Docs in Clouds TeleCare GmbH
Für den reinen Vertrieb von Telemedizin in der Pflege und ärztlichen Versorgung hat das Unternehmen im Jahr 2018 die Docs in Clouds TeleCare GmbH gegründet. Das Kernprodukt der Tochtergesellschaft ist das TeleDoc-System. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein medizinisches Rollständersystem zur Durchführung einer Telekonsultation. Über die reine Arzt-Patienten-Kommunikation im Rahmen einer Videosprechstunde hinaus ermöglicht dieses System zusätzlich die Übermittlung von Vitalparametern in Echtzeit an den behandelnden Arzt sowie die Durchführung von delegierten Maßnahmen. Im März 2021 hat das Unternehmen eine webbasierte Anwendung für medizinische Aufklärung und digitale Anamnese entwickelt und auf den Markt gebracht. Die Plattform zielt sowohl auf den Einsatz im Rahmen groß angelegter Impfungen gegen COVID-19 als auch vor anästhesiologischen Eingriffen ab.

Captain oh captain. O Captain My Captain Summary Walt Whitman 2019-01-11
Captain oh captain Rating: 6,6/10 642 reviews
O Captain My Captain Summary Walt Whitman
Here the poet has used an apostrophe to call his dead captain. It lasted for about ten seconds. He can neither feel the arms of the poet not his heart is beating. Renard tries telling Adalind he has to go, but Adalind stalls for time and hugs him, telling him he is an amazing father for staying home to talk. Then the voice of the actual Megan, the one that farted on the way into class, piped up. Renard then grabs a pipe and swings it at Nick, but Nick disarms him and they continue punching and kicking until they go to the ground. But I think I like it.
O Captain! My Captain!
His essay called for an ideal leader like Lincoln to rise up from the common people so as to guide the nation to maturity. The image of the dead captain on the cold deck contrasts with the first scene in order to place emotional emphasis on his death. Though the tone of the poem starts with a cheery and joyous mood, it shifts as they realize that, though they reached their destination and achieved what they wanted, they are now bereft of their beloved leader. But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. She says they should look at the books to be safe, but Nick tells her there is no time. But I don't know if I can go through that again. The crowd is jubilant as they celebrate using a number of devices such as raising flag in victory, holding flowers and cheering for the captain.
Following his death on the succeeding day, the whole of America mourned over the loss of their great, beloved leader. The musical updated the film's Gibraltar and Algiers setting to London and Paris. He observes his lips to have paled a la that of a corpse. Walt Whitman, born in 1819, was one of the poets who won both, accolades of praises and criticism for his work. I want your resignation, and I want you off the premises. Major Themes: The poem comprises sentiments of the speaker at the demise of his captain.
O Captain! My Captain! Poem by Walt Whitman
He was an unconventional poet indeed, and his self-published book 'Leaves of Grass' was one of his works that garnered much attention. Once they get to the parking garage, Renard angrily confronts Nick, but he can't do much because the reporters come around the corner to ask more questions. Grossante apologizes for getting some blood on Renard's shirt and Renard says it'll wash out. Monroe gives Eve the hair, and after adding the hair to the potion, Eve places the on top of the cauldron. In my one semester teaching, I listened to a story about a bungled eye op, a dead grandma, Bali belly, a removed boob and a near-fatal car accident.
O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman (read by Tom O'Bedlam)
Instead, it focuses on one of the main reasons Northerners fought in the war: the preservation of the union. The enthusiasm increases as the ship reach near the port. Nick and Renard both slam to the ground as their fight ends. Nick then says Adalind comes with him. The entire poem is a metaphor that symbolizes the plight of Americans during the Civil War. Not only does He save us from the guilt and dominion of sin through His vicarious sacrifice, but He also leads us on to the ultimate end of full salvation. The fearful trip is the Civil War.
O Captain! My Captain! Poem Text
I recently took a unit on sci-fi and popular literature at uni. He asks her why she is asking, but she tells him she's not, adding that she can feel it. Monroe and Rosalee tell Nick how great he was, and Wu starts going through Renard's computer and files. But I, with tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. In it, Whitman wrote about so many different things: love, sex, politics, nature including grass , travel. The captain is dead now and blood is oozing from his body.
This arm beneath your head! However, his inner thoughts set him apart from the crowd as he tries to reconcile his emotional reaction to the Captain's death. This was regarded as one of the best scenes of the actor's career. With no aim other than entertainment, it instantly became one of Broadway's biggest hits and seems securely berthed at the Alvin Theatre for many months to come. The ship is the United States. It is such a time when the ship has arrived at its destination. However, it is all in vain, as he knows that he will not respond. As the reality sets in, the sailor realizes, the damage is irreparable.
Captain, O Captain
O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. As captain of our salvation, He motivates us, challenges us, encourages us, and enables us as He leads us into victory. Renard notes that the potion hasn't worn off yet. He is overcome with sorrow and shock. This arm beneath your head! But I with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.

Happy 25th Birthday Pokemon!
February 27, 2021 February 28, 2021 Shuki
I'll try not to be too repetitive. Every year I write some big gushy post about how much I love Pokemon. This year is really no different, but the weight of this passion is even stronger as we celebrate such a large milestone. I can't believe it's been 25 years! Well, if we want to be technical, it hasn't even been 23 yet for those of us that live in America, but that doesn't change the fact that this franchise has been around in Japan for 25 long years.
I wish I could remember exactly WHEN I first learned about Pokemon. The internet was a fledgling at the time, so my first exposure to the franchise was most certainly through the pages of Nintendo Power. I can't recall if the first images of Pokemon came from the "Pokemon Power" insert magazines, or in articles beforehand, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I was hooked the first minute I laid my eyes on Pikachu (and most likely the other Kanto Starters that were shown off alongside them). I read as much as I could every month, started poking around the internet, learning everything I could about these fascinating little creatures. Then finally, the games launched, I popped Pokemon Blue into my Game Boy Pocket, and the rest is history.
To say that Pokemon has changed my life would be an absolute understatement. Every single person I am friends with today is in a direct result of Pokemon, even if they themselves don't even enjoy the franchise. Without Pokemon I never would have met my friend Pam and her father Vince at the Toys R Us Pokemon League. Without them I never would have moved over to Wizards of the Coast at the mall, where I met my friend Jeff. Without Jeff's influence I never would have gotten back into Power Rangers. Without Power Rangers I never would have gotten into tokusatsu, never started RRR, and never made all the amazing friends I've made in the tokusatsu community. Life really is a long stream of domino effects when you think about it. It's incredible.
Through this game I developed a love of Trading Card Games, and through the Pokemon TCG I've met so many people I am so happy to call friends in our local community. I get to run so many cool events and met so many people that really makes my love for this franchise feel fulfilling. I really hope we can return to in-person events by next year. I miss my community, and I miss feeling attached to the game, even when I don't play all that much. With covid hitting, tournaments shut down, and our community staying distant, it's hard to be excited about new releases, especially when I already thought things were getting stagnant. Battle Styles is a step in the right direction and I'm eagerly awaiting the rotation into Sword & Shield onward later this year. Even with my interest in the TCG at an all time low, it's a game I love and will always cherish and support. I can't wait to run events again!
I'll always remember Diamond and Pearl fondly. Platinum was the game I sunk the most hours into, and it's the game where I learned about breeding, EVs, IVs, and all that competitive stuff. My favorite Pokemon (Munchlax) comes from this region, and a slew of my other favorites hail from Sinnoh as well. I love the lore, I love the region, and it's pretty obvious that I'm super excited for both Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, as well as Pokemon Legends Arceus. Both games look great in their own right, and I can't wait to dive into both and experience Sinnoh all over again. The 25th is not only sentimental, but it's also giving me three wonderful games (New Pokemon Snap included) that cater to me so, so well.
I'll try to keep this brief and cut myself off here. I could go on about Pokemon forever. Even when other franchises like Power Rangers (and other tokusatsu), Transformers, Digimon, and Vanguard consume my life, Pokemon is, and always will be, the franchise that has shaped my life and made me who I am. If I could only focus on one franchise for the rest of my life, this is the one that I would pick. While HOW I love this franchise will always change (a bouncing focus between merch, TCG, video games, the show, etc.), it will forever be the one that's always on my mind in one way or another. The friends I've made along the way have made my life so much better, and the friends I've made because of those friends are just as loved and just as important. As I said before, nearly everyone in my life can be traced back to this franchise, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I love you Pokemon. Thank you for making me who I am, and continuing to make my life just a little bit brighter each and every day. To all my friends (and fans!) reading this that I've met because of Pokemon, thanks for sharing this love with me.
Thank you all so, so much.
Happy 10th Anniversary Vanguard!
February 26, 2021 Shuki
A few years ago (late 2017/early 2018) my friend used my love of giant robots and Ultraman to introduce me to Cardfight!! Vanguard via the Enigman units in the clan Dimension Police, which also had a bunch of giant robots. I thought it was a lot of fun, but getting thrust into a game with so many foreign mechanics (Triggers, G-Zone, Guarding, etc.) was a lot for my little brain that was mainly used to Pokemon's incredibly simple mechanics. I'm sure I would have got it eventually, but I was really stubborn and stupid. I was also trying to get over the heartbreak of Dragoborne.
Then, as if the universe was wanting to force me into learning this game, Bushiroad announced that Vanguard was rebooting into a new Standard Format with V-Series. It got rid of a few of the older mechanics, introduced new ones, and reduced the card pool to nothing. I had no excuse now! Come May 2018, the first start decks came out, and I hopped on board.
What stood out to me most about Vanguard compared to other games is that, while a meta is always present, and some cards will be naturally weaker than others, you never felt like you were automatically gonna lose. Even when looking at the Protect > Force > Accel > Protect triangle, there were plenty of times where, playing most Accel, I would still get beaten by Protect decks, or I would crush a Force deck. These strengths and weaknesses existed but it was never a for sure feeling unlike some mechanics in other games. Even if you were playing a deck that hadn't gotten support recently, all it took was a well timed Trigger, or that miracle heal to stay in the game to turn things around and win.
There was also something for everyone. Knights, kaiju, robots, wrestlers, animals, sailors, sea creatures, spirits, vampires, dragons, plants, ninjas, if there is a motif you're attracted to, it's probably represented in Vanguard somewhere, and I think that's super cool. It was neat to have a game that covered my love of badass giant robots as well as my love for cute fluffy animals. It was truly something I hadn't experienced in a card game before.
It took a while for something that interested me to come out in V-Series. I liked robots and we didn't get anything remotely robot until Nova Grapplers came out (and they weren't that great), and it took a little while after that for Dimension Police to hit. Eventually, I had to be a big girl and stop borrowing my friend's cards and ended up buying a degenerate Zanbaku Murakumo deck to call my own until Nova Grappler's Beast Deity archetype came out. After a long wait, Dimension Police finally got more support, Dailiner was blessed into my life, and the rest is history.
Fast forward to now, and it's safe to say that Vanguard has become a property I love, a game I love to play, and a world I love to learn more about. It gives me the same amount of love and passion I feel when I think about Pokemon, Transformers, or Power Rangers, and that always just leaves me excited. While this franchise is turning 10, and I've only been with it for a little over 2 years, I'm happy that the game is still going strong.
OverDress is right around the corner, and a whole new era of Vanguard is about to begin. Happy 10th Birthday, and thank you for being in my life.
The Return of CollectorShuki?
December 16, 2020 Shuki
As many of you saw, not too long ago a video finally popped up on my channel again! This time around it was an unboxing of the newest card game that has infected my life, the Digimon Card Game. Not too long before that, I made a pact with my friend Jake that myself and another mutual friend would begin doing card game related content for his YouTube channel (@thejakeyouknow). While things are just starting to get off the ground over there, we were knee deep in filming unboxings and I was bit by the bug to do one for my own channel. Needless to say, after filming that video, I felt like I was at home. My friend's dog yelping in the background brought out my quick "let's roll with it" wit that I always had in my videos (because rolling with it is easier than reshooting!) and it really reminded me of why I had so much fun doing videos in the first place.
I can't say for sure when I'll be back, if it even sticks. As many of you know I work full time (9-6 usually) with overtime being an always looming threat. I'm in the middle of reorganizing the house, behind on my television shows, and haven't touched a video game in what feels like forever. Not to mention The Streets every Friday and Teletraan-Fun recording once or twice every other week or so. I've got a LOT on my plate without even jumping back into videos. That being said, I feel like it's something I need to do. I've attempted to do blogging, as my heart is in writing, but sometimes it's hard for me to think of a topic that doesn't just devolve into me vomiting words onto the screen. I was never GOOD at making videos. My editing was juvenile, I had no flashy effects, and I didn't script a single thing. It was always a "fly off the seat of my pants" style of recording that reflected who I am as an individual. In a year full of mess, isolation, and rediscovery, that kind of thing is something I really need. I just need an outlet where I can be me, doing or displaying things that I love.
Unfortunately, while I'm spending just as much money as ever, I'm not the same person I was previously. I'm not "all-in" on any toy line. If I did come back, gone would be the days of "Oh, Shuki will definitely review that Rider toy" and other such phrases. While I feel like I'm going to be roped into a lot of Zenkaiger, I probably won't be "all-in" that either. The most "all-in" I am in any line right now is Transformers. The problem being it's really hard to justify Transformers related videos. People like Peaugh and Emgo have absolutely cornered the market. That being said, I fucking love Transformers! Let's just go for it, yeah? I feel like my return will probably end up taking a page out of the Long's Toys playbook. I'll get what I want to get, and review what I want to review. Some things might do bad, some things might do good, some things might not even make it onto the channel. Who the hell knows?
Towards the tail end of my initial run, the channel was my job, and it was slowly feeling like a job. If I come back, no, when I come back, I want the channel to be my safety net. This thing I do for fun to make myself happy, bringing everyone along for the ride. The things I love most have been coming and going (currently it's Digimon and Transformers, in a few months it could be Pokemon and Sentai) and the things I do on my channel might reflect that. Sometime in the future I may really fall hard for one franchise and decide to dedicate channel time to it, much like Karn has with Digimon.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know if I'll be back for a few months or for a few years. I don't know if I'll be reviewing things you like. I don't know if I'll finally be able to make some Top 10 and Editorial style content that I've wanted to do for ages. I simply don't know. What I do know, is that I've got a creative itch that needs to be scratched, and this is how I'm going to do it.
Be prepared for 2021 y'all. CollectorShuki is back baby.
Happy 10th Birthday RRR!

On May 20th, 2010, the very first episode of Riders, Rangers, & Rambles was released onto the world. Aptly titled "Riders, Rangers, & Rambles – Episode #1: Buwaa, Gurrooo, Shittttt" (it's like we were prophets), the first episode was nothing short of an absolute mess, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. The show's concept began early on when Kevin (Jedimon2005), another user whom may or may not even be in the fandom anymore, and myself became friends on the CS Toys live show chat. We hit it off, and wanted to begin a CS Toys podcast to discuss tokusatsu. We really wanted Mr. S on the show, but due to time zone differences, the idea never really panned out, and the idea was shelved.
Fast forward a bit, Kevin and I befriended DosmRider, and eventually the idea of a podcast resurfaced. There weren't a ton of tokusatsu focused podcasts around at the time, and those that were just didn't match the level of crazy that we wanted to bring to the table. After much discussion (maybe? Knowing us, probably not) Riders, Rangers, & Rambles, complete with a Red Ribbon Army look-alike logo, was born. We wouldn't ever call it RRR though, that would be stupid.
The remaining seven years in the history of the original podcast are honestly a blur. Hell, when Josh told me it was the tenth anniversary of the show this week, I couldn't believe it. We never really got a huge audience. Most people in the fandom didn't take our crazy, unstructured, uncensored, barely edited show seriously, and I don't really blame them for that. But when we created RRR, my goal was to create a show that emulated a bunch of friends talking about something they loved, like you would on a focused radio show. Something that felt live and a little bit off the hinge. Even if people hated us, I always felt we succeeded in that. Our small, dedicated group of fans kept us going, and we eventually spawned a website that was dedicated to bringing you the latest toku news in the craziest way possible, in all the ways possible. It was a huge undertaking, and eventually staff differences and overambitious natures forced us to close it down. Thankfully we rescued Aresol from the sinking ship. I'll forever be thankful to him for bringing some much needed sanity and focus to the show. Some of our best discussions of all time came from his participation, and he'll always be an important piece of the RRR puzzle.
The podcast continued until September 2017. We had been doing the show for seven years at that point. None of us were the same people we were when the show started. Kevin was married with kids, both Dosm and I had moved into our own places and heavily focusing on YouTube, and Aresol had decided to step back. Time wasn't something we all had a lot of anymore and getting together for a few hours became more and more of a struggle. We tried to move to a monthly format, but even that didn't quite work out. We never even got to swan song out of there. The show just sort of quietly died in its sleep.
That is until June 2018 hit. Will messaged me one day with a request that honestly surprised me. Him and a group of old RRR faithfuls wanted to revive the brand in a new liveshow format. I was absolutely floored that someone remembered the show (even if it had only been a few months) much less wanted to associate themselves with it. I was honored, and after a quick check with the others, gave my blessing for them to use the name. On July 6th, 2018, RRR the Streets went live, and the RRR legacy was reignited. It took a lot of time for me to become a regular on there, but I'm happy they welcomed an old fart like me back with open arms, and it continues to be a highlight of my week.
After finally getting off the floor and realized my friends and I created a legacy, I was shoved back onto the damn floor when SpringRoland asked Will if him and a couple of the RRR the Streets faithfuls could start a livestream show to lead into RRR the Streets that was more focused on the Super Hero Time discussions and Discord incorporation than what The Streets ultimately becomes each week. After a short time, Will was honored that someone wanted to spin off his show, and I was honored someone wanted to spin off the spin off of my show. I'm a grandparent y'all.
Here we are. May 20th, 2020. Ten years ago me and two buddies sat down to record a silly show about Japanese super heroes. If you pulled me aside that day and asked where I thought it was going to go, I never would have thought that the legacy would not only still be going every week, but now give the title of "RRR Host" to 13 different people, not to mention the handful of guests that have been on multiple episodes of both the original show and The Streets. I will forever be baffled on how this stupid little show lasted so long, and brought in so many people, but I'm forever thankful. RRR is my baby, and always will be.
To Dosm and Kevin, thank you for starting this show with me. There's no two idiots I'd rather have done the show with. To Aresol, thank you for joining us when you did. You were a breath of fresh air among the crazy with just the right amount of knowledge and sass. To The Streets Crew, thank you for taking our vision and bringing it into the current age while still keeping it crazy. You have something good on your hands. To The Breakdown Boys, thank you for adding some discussion and community interaction to the RRR format, but more importantly, thank you for wanting to take our vision and make it your own. It's an honor.
Finally, to the fans that have supported us, thank you. Whether you started from Season 1, Season 3, Season 6, or just started watching with The Streets, you're a part of this community. I never expected so many people to like our silly show, and the fact that this small little community continues to not only band together, but collectively expanded and grow this brand is nothing short of amazing to me. I am 100% truly honored.
Thank you for an amazing 10 years. With any luck I'll see you all for the 15th where I get emotional all over again.
As always, thanks for listening, take care, and have a great one…

Well This is Awkward…
May 3, 2020 Shuki
I said back on December 31st, 2019: "Thank you, I love you, and here's to a crazy and amazing 2020."
Man. When I said that, this wasn't the sort of crazy I meant. I intended for lots of amazing events, creative projects…you know, growth. Not whatever you want to call this! Speaking of that post, to everyone that left a comment that I absolutely didn't see and respond to, I'm sorry! Thank you! That being said, I'm sure anyone reading this follows me on Twitter and knows that I'm alive, well, and doing just fine. That being said, I felt it worth to make a new blog post to kind of touch upon where I'm at because somehow we're already in the fifth month of this godforsaken year. Did anyone else feel that March was about 120 days long and April lasted a week?
Right. So, I guess I'll start with work. I'm still at the job I mentioned in the last post. We're currently working from home and I absolutely hate it. The day we can start going back to the office is the day I regain a slight bit of sanity. Some days are better than others, but it is still a relatively stress-free job when the managers aren't angry at something. It pays the bills and allows me to exist relatively comfortably for once in my life. I've barely had to borrow money in 2020 and the times I did were the rare instance where paycheck didn't line up with bill quite right. It's been a few months since even that happened though. I'm really happy about that.
Alright, let's jump into collecting! I had intention on continuing to do unboxing vlogs as I got packages, but they became a lot more…infrequent, and between either not having the quiet time to record, or not having the patience to wait to record, I usually just never did. I've all but bowed out of Zero-One. The sheer amount of Premium Bandai items and such made me realize I made the right choice. I'm down to only collecting Fuwa's gear and toys, and the few odds-and-ends Progrise Keys that belong to my favorite animals. Kiramager's toy line is…nearly non-existent. But I'm getting all the mecha and minipla releases. I plan to dive into Ultraman Z. Mostly because Ultraman is the best toku, but also because it's shoving coins and cards at my face and I can't say no to that. I got into Earth Granner. The toys are absolutely amazing and if you haven't checked them out you really should. Long story short, I'm just sort of buying stuff I like as opposed to actually fully collecting anything. If I DID get back into videos, I feel like I couldn't do toy reviews again because I'm just not buying enough of one thing to actually provide good coverage of anything.
I guess that's a good segway into the future. Thursday was a rough day for me. We had a rough day at work and during our monthly workshop they basically said if we didn't hit a certain number of files in a week too many weeks in a row we were gonna get written up, and that sort of messed with me. In retrospect it's an achievable number and I sort of feel like they need me so even if I get a talking too once in a while not much will come of it. I feel fairly confident that I'm good. That being said it did make me remember why I struggle so much with employment in general. Leaders always have these expectations and potentially unachievable goals, and usually don't take into account the person that they are talking to. Being a boss or a manager is delicate, but as an empath I sort of always feel like it's important to understand the individual. Employee A is not going to have the same output as Employee B for a multitude of reasons, and those individual reasons are important to understand. I understand it's hard to do as a large company, but our segment of the company is a team of less than 20. While I'm not anymore, I've lead a lot of teams over the years of my various sites and projects, and that's just something I've always felt was important, and I really wish it was important to more bosses in the world. I guess I feel like I'd be a moderately okay boss.
Look, I miss being creative. I really do. I miss writing. I miss drawing. I miss making videos. That spark really hasn't came back. I feel like the gas is running but the spark to ignite it just hasn't quite happened. Like I said, I just don't know what I would do. I don't have the time at home to really focus on steady videos again. I don't really have the time to stream regularly. A lot of it boils down to time. I also really don't like my house, but that's more on me than anything else. I love to write but I don't know what to write about. Would more frequent blog posts actually be something people want? I mean I don't want to turn this into a LiveJournal thing because I'm not a teenager in the early 2000s anymore, but it's a thought at least? Anyone have suggestions? Drop them in the comments here or on Twitter. I'm all ears if anyone has ideas for what I could do, be it writing or otherwise. Hopefully I can find that passion again in some form. I'm just sort of at a loss for what it could be. Try to make it Pokemon related because I'm drifting away from the Power Rangers and Tokusatsu community more and more each day. Except for all my friends and fans. You all are great and I wanna keep talking to you. There's just been this awful amount of drama lately from all these different corners. I've barely had time to check Twitter during the afternoons because of work. Let me tell you it's been WONDERFUL. Fandom is exhausting.
You know, I guess I'll just wrap up by say I've been doing really fucking good. Despite being stuck in my house that I'm not fond of, only really having work to focus on for 8 hours a day has given me a lot of time for self-reflection. Now that my financial situation has calmed down, and my bouts of depression from 2019 have all but vanished, I'm left with a bit of clarity. I'm done with making up excuses. I'm done with not embracing the person I am on the inside. I know a lot of people have been struggling with mental health during quarantine times, but somehow I've been thriving instead. I've smiled to myself more than I have in years, and it's wonderful to look in the mirror and actually love yourself instead of think you're actual human garbage. I'm still going to absolutely joke about being garbage though because that's kind of my thing. Just know that I no longer think I'm garbage. If I'm gonna be garbage I'm at least cute garbage, you know? Like Trubbish. I'll touch upon that more when I feel comfortable. Just know that I'm feeling great, even with all the bullshit 2020 is throwing at us.
Now, bring it on 2020. I'm a new me and I'm ready for you.

We are all feeling information overload, but where do you seek agency advice? Is your source trustworthy and credible? We're drowning in information (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, podcasts) but we are starving for the right knowledge.
What I'm seeing is a lot of companies put out advice without having the experience to offer such advice. So think about the advice you're getting, consider the source first before you go execute on it.
For example, I see this a lot of time with technology companies that want to attract agencies. What they should do is create content around how agencies could use their tool better with their business or their clients. Instead, what they are doing is advising agencies on how to run, grow or scale an agency. here's the problem -- they don't have the experience running, growing and scaling an agency.
So, be aware that this is happening... be careful of the advice you take and who you're taking it from. Do they have experience? Do they have success stories to back up their advice? Think about it first.
A lot of agency owners tell me there's too much content out there and they don't know what to believe. My advice is to do your homework on the source and then decide whether it's something to execute for your business.
WE HAVE INFORMATION OVERLOAD! WHERE ARE YOU SEEKING AGENCY ADVICE?


This trades kind of long term like 2 week until it closes the trade.
There are 2 ways of logic, Trend entry and Counter Trend entry.
It works in real account.
Very good EA. I am trying this one and I am very happy with the results, however I have found that the emergency Button dont follow the actions, just close orders. Maybe that was the idea, but will be nice to have some filtering imo.

S.F. trailing on affordable homes
Aug. 15, 2007 12:00 a.m.
Although San Francisco has one of the strongest laws requiring developers to offer below-market rate housing opportunities with every new residential building project, The City has trailed behind others in the state in actually creating the new, affordable homes, according to a study released Tuesday.
City housing officials say that's old news and that hundreds of new units for low- and middle-income families are in the works.
The report, "Affordable by Choice: Trends in California Inclusionary Housing Program," was created by the San Francisco-based Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California.
As of now, 170 jurisdictions — one-third of all cities and counties in thestate — have some type of inclusionary housing program.
San Francisco's inclusionary housing ordinance is one of the strongest in the state, said Paul Peninger, co-policy director with the Non-Profit Housing Association. The law applies to all residential developments of five units or more and requires a 15 percent affordable set-aside if the units are built on-site and a 20 percent set aside if the units are built off-site or if in-lieu fees are paid.
The number of inclusionary housing units created in The City in recent years, however, trailed behind other municipalities in the state. From 1999 to 2006, San Francisco averaged about 91 inclusionary units per year, for a total of 634 — while the city of Sacramento averaged about 251 units per year and the city of San Diego averaged 183 units annually.
Doug Shoemaker, from the Mayor's Office of Housing, said San Francisco's inclusionary housing program is on the upswing, with 155 units permitted in 2006, and the number of units expected to be approved this year estimated at 309. The City also invests in affordable housing developments that are not part of the inclusionary program, he said.
Cities such as San Diego and Sacramento likely built more inclusionary housing because they were approving more housing overall, Peninger said. Those areas have more land to be developed, he said — but they're also areas known to be more accommodating to development.
"It's not always easy for developers of any kind of housing to get their projects approved [in San Francisco]," Peninger said.

Lady Gaga was in India Oct. 28 in a surprisingly classy one-shouldered dress, drop earrings, and technicolor hair. Click through to see more of Mama Monster's outrageous style.
Much of America was going gaga over 176 Stanton Street in the Lower East Side on Manhattan last January when Stefani Germanotta aka Lady Gaga took 60 Minutes on a tour during a visit to her pre-fame haunts. Now, the very one-bedroom crib where Lady Gaga lived before she wowed the world with her eccentric style and sweet tunes is up for grabs to any little monster with $1,850 per month to burn.
Located in a nondescript tenement building, Lady Gaga's former home includes one bedroom, one bathroom and a tiny but very appropriate to Manhattan-sized kitchen. The singer reportedly lived at this very apartment before hitting it big time, which the listing is apparently capitalizing on. It reads: Former abode of the infamous Lady Gaga--legitimately!
Unfortunately for Lady Gaga fans, the star didn't leave any notable mark on the place. In fact, Jezebel remarks, "she didn't leave any freak art on the walls, but it still looks like a nice place."

Fantasy Land was an amusement park built over 30 acres at Jogeshwari in Mumbai, opened in 1992. Due to Fantasy Land's location and lower prices, it was a more accessible alternative to the more popular EsselWorld. In 1997, Fantasy Land attracted over eight lakh visitors a year.

In 1994, the road to Fantasy Land was expanded and converted to what is now Jogeshwari–Vikhroli Link Road.

Fantasy Land has now been closed and replaced by the Oberoi Splendor Grande housing complex.
