Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Review
When you think of Zombies you probably have the typical George Romero style Zombie, decaying flesh and an unrestrainable hunger for brains. So properly named, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka asks the tough question: Is this a Zombie? Aikawa Ayumu is your average High School student, until one night attempting to help someone he is killed by a serial killer that has been plaguing the town he is living in. Luckily for Ayumu, Eucliwood Hellscythe, a powerful Necromancer, raises him from the dead turning him into a Zombie.
From episode 1 you can already see the potential this anime has. It has a very comedic, action oriented, and a sprinkle of a dramatic side to it. Ayumu and the rest of the cast offer an assortment of fun and drama that is often missing or poorly executed in many anime. The fun is what really draws you into the anime. In episode 1, our unassuming zombie protagonist runs into Haruna, a genius Masou-Shoujo aka a Magical Equipment Girl, Unfortunately for her, Ayumu sucks up all of her magical powers removing her Masou-Shoujo abilities. The extreme comedic factor comes in at the end of the episode, where it is realized that Ayumu now has the ability to transform into a Magical Girl… Full transformation sequence and all. The hilarity doesn't end there either because after he defeats the monster, he gets propelled into the middle of the school ground in pretty form and all, where the rest of his school mates proceed to pull out their phones and start taking pictures. It is that level of ridiculous comedy that Kore wa Zombie thrives on. Kore wa Zombie at its best is comedy. It is something that gets forgotten later on in the anime, but I'll get to that later.
The other major genre in this anime is Ecchi. Panty shots, erotic views, sexy outfits, and naked girls are something that is all too common in Kore wa Zombie. Not only do the main characters get a lot of the views, but throughout the anime you can expect that Ayumu is going to be in situations that are going to make you jealous. While the situations don't disappoint, the censoring does. Most of the series just has ecchi moments, the kind that makes your mouth water and there is no real nudity, but there are several moments where if there wasn't that thick mist or ray of light you would get to see the goods. It happens several times throughout the series. The part that is disappointing isn't that censorship, because if you watch it on TV you should expect some kind of censorship, but even the bluray versions have the censoring still. There is a bit less, but you still can't see anything. This begs the question: Why did they even include nudity in the anime, if it wasn't ever going to be shown?
The action of Kore wa Zombie leaves little to be desired. While Kore wa Zombie is a comedy at heart, the action is not skimped on. Studio DEEN does a fantastic job with the animation throughout the series, but the quality really shines in the fast paced action of the anime. You can expect it to be violent filled with loads of blood flying out of the characters making sure you get exactly what you are looking for. I also love how Ayumu essentially has two styles of fighting. First he uses his zombie powers where he can output high volumes of power. The other is making use of his Masou-Shoujo powers and using Mystelteen, Haruna's chainsaw. There is also a good chunk of comedy fused into the action, whether it is Ayumu overextending his physical abilities causing his limbs to break or if he draws out so much magical power that he becomes prettier. All of that adds up to a better anime.
One of the best parts about Kore wa Zombie are the characters in the anime. Ayumu can be considered one of the better leads you can find in anime. His personality is pitch perfect. He is dedicated, serious, funny, and perverted to boot. Combined with Majima Junji's voice acting talent, Ayumu is one of the best narrative leads that you will find in all of anime. Not only is Ayumu an ideal male lead, but it also adds several other characters that makes a Merry, Boff, Kill game very hard. Eucliwood is a very great loli-lead character. Her primary deal is that she doesn't talk nor show emotions. This leads Ayumu to have very strange visions about her saying things in a cutesy manner calling him Onii-chan. The anime utilizes those very well too, by changing the voice actress every time. Her not talking not only provides a lot of entertainment value, but also adds a lot of emotional value to the points of the anime when she does talk or is forced to show emotions. It makes those scenes powerful and are some of the best scenes in the anime. Haruna's character is also great because at first glance she is the typical loli tsundare character that is in most anime, but she actually has great depth to her that allows for more fun moments to ensue out of her. Her iconic moe faces provide enough entertainment that can even make a more serious moment of the anime that much better. The final female protagonist is Seraphim, a vampire ninja.. You might be wondering what the hell a vampire ninja is and I will tell you that it is as ridiculous as it sounds, but the ridiculous is what Kore wa Zombie thrives on. Sera has a harsh tongue and is often insulting Ayumu in even the most dire of situations. However in my personal opinion, Sera is an underutilized character who's moments were constantly being stolen by the other characters. She is still a vital member in the cast, after all, in an anime with two loli-leads we need a big breasted character to get us by. Yuki comes into the cast later on in the anime, but it doesn't take long for her to be my favorite of the girls. Her Tom-boyish personality works well and there is a lot of mystery surrounding her character still.
While the main characters are a strong point in the anime, the secondary characters are ultimately a weaker point to the anime. Let me state this first, I really like the secondary characters in Kore wa Zombie. They are hysterical, dynamic, and just a hell of a lot of fun to watch. The part that makes them weak is that they are often forgotten and cast aside in the anime. Ayumu's best friend Orito adds a level of ecchi comedy that made episode 3 the funniest episode of the anime. He however barely registers and is often only awarded small bit parts that make no impact on the series. We also get a pleathera of other characters and personalities that just get no screen time, which is given to the main cast. This could simple happen because the show is only 12 episodes long so the priority was given to the story. Both the final random-ish and OVA episodes had plenty of those characters.
The difficult thing about Kore wa Zombie is the fact that it is too good. When an anime starts off great and keeps that going for several episodes the expectations of the rest of the anime gets astronomically high. This brings me to another point that Kore wa Zombie does well, it does a great job disappointing its fans. The final part of the series just does not do the first part of the series justice. The blame falls on the fact that it feels a lot like a forced anime ending. An artificially created anime only ending that is done because even though the light novel or manga series is still on going, the anime is ending and there isn't enough known whether or not a sequel season will happen. The last episodes take the series into a depressing place and the ultimate outcome is underwhelming. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but it is something that just didn't do it for me. I do give the anime credit though because even if the anime ending wasn't great compared to the rest of the anime, the ending is actually better than most anime only endings that leave us pissed off at the anime as a whole. Even with the bad ending, I find it hard to not recommend Kore wa Zombie to most people.
That really sums up how I think of Kore wa Zombie in the end. While the start was fantastic, the middle worked well, and the ending left much to be desired, overall the anime was not only a great ride, but one that shouldn't be missed. Kore wa Zombie left a lot open in the end. Many questions were left unanswered and lots of characters just didn't get flushed out fully, but a second season has been announced and if I had not written this review after that announcement, I would've been yelling a lot about how much this series failed in the endding. The OVA also helped a lot, while it wasn't quite up to par with the beginning of the anime, it was still funny as hell and was a thrill ride that shouldn't be counted out. If you haven't seen Kore wa Zombie, I recommend that you look to download it before season 2 airs because if you miss out on another season of Kore wa Zombie, then you will be left behind.
I know we haven't done galleries recently, but I got too trigger happy while taking screenshots because there was so many good ones. I took over 1,000 of them so I decided to make a really large gallery at the end of this review. So Enjoy~

Sins of the State Chapters 6-7
Map Size: 300x300 (Medium)
Made with version: 1.2
---This is a small preview of the chapters---
Upon leaving Cathaproerl, Alex, Tyrus, Carol, and Taylor attempt to take over an Eltranian state, Kiose. The city was said to be as large as the state borders itself. The city was nothing the four have imagined. Everything was laid back; there was no oppression of the people. The lack of soldiers around seemed to make taking control of the city an easy task. But one person stood in the way of their first strike.
Other Chapters:
You MAY experience lag when attacking the inner gate. After it's destroyed, the lag should dissipate.
There are no hidden events or endless invasions, simply follow the instructions.
Lord_of_Hell
Looks cool nice work
Lord Zalanius
For the first look on the minimap, the castle looks quite good, however when I opened it in the game, I was quite disappointed... The walls doesn't look really good, and the city structure is very bad, there's also nothing really creative in the shape of castle, and those single towers in the city look... horrible, you just put down something on a plaetue to act like a city and draw a line of wall.
Btw. the gameplay is very entertaining. If you would focus on the terrain like as you focus on the balance, your maps would be true masterpieces. :)
There isn't any template or book about making nice castles and walls. I see nothing bad in the design. I think the contrary, that it's just a "different" map.
Adam the First
These are the final maps in the series?
I like the idea of making the final chapter as a sequel to the previous one.
The story is pretty good, however I found them shorter than the previous ones and as for the last chapter I excepted a much longer story from you.
Btw. it reads very well. :)
[Edited on 01/27/11 @ 07:54 AM]
No, this isn't the end of the story yet as this is merely their first confrontation face to face. ;)
Chapter 6: Quite good map, however the gameplay was too short. Winning the map was very easy, I only had to break the gates with the rams and send in my foot soldiers to kill the lord. But after he was dead nothing happened, the only win condition was to kill the lord, but the win screen didn't show up. First I thought I was meant to lose only a few troops, but I"ve managed to do the mission with only a few archers dead. So I think it can be a scripting error or something.
Chapter 7: I had fun playing this map, however I expected much longer and more tricky mission. So it was too short like chapter 6. And was also very easy, for the first few tries I have experimented a bit with the troops I can make. Then in the serious game I've used my usual strategy to win in all maps like this: I've made tons of crossbowmen(111) and sent them on the top of the gate. In minutes they have grinded off all incoming enemies. There was no challenge in this mission.
Chapter 6: Here the balance wasn't so good, the mission was too simple and easy, I thought there will be a breathtaking siege or something. Maybe some more xbowmen on the wall, and only 1 ram and shields allowed for the players would make this mission much more challenging.
Chapter 7: The player has here many starting gold and can train a lot of soldiers and can also buy weapons, which was a great advantage I think. The enemy were too many, and putting in large invasions is not the way of making a challenging map. This mission, I mention again was far tooo easy.
Nothing special in the maps, nor in scripting and design. However the idea of the maps aren't so bad, you just have to be a bit more creative.
Found nothing really eye-catching in the maps. The area surrounding the castle was plain and didn't look good, the city was plain too and the buildings had very irrealistic placing. Some roads would be a nice addition. I suggest you to work more with the terrain and the map.
All parts of the map show that you rushed the design.
The only really good aspect of the map. Like all your stories, it reads well. :)
Oh I understand.
Btw reviewed the maps. :)

Customer journey maps are a popular visual artifact for documenting or modeling an archetypal user's experience with a brand, product, or site, but they are more than just a pretty deliverable. When they are based on solid evidence, journey maps become a valuable planning tool for user experience-related work, with implications for information architecture, information models, taxonomies, and beyond.
Record places of interest, and document the current state of the landscape.
Serve as a source of learning more about a particular place – its topography, its landmarks, its political divisions.
Provide a sense of the space, where you are in it, and where you can go.
Record situations of interest, and document the current state of the experience. A customer journey map can document what is currently happening, so you know where you stand. They can also document the ideal state of what should be happening, so you know what you want the experience to be. At their core, they document the landscape of the journey. To do this effectively, you must have evidence of what is happening.
Serve as a source of learning about that experience. Customer journey maps must include some layer of analysis on the journey, to help you understand why things are happening, where gaps in the experience exist, where you can improve the experience, and where you are doing a great job of serving user needs. To get to this point, you need to conduct rigorous analysis of your user research evidence.
Provide a sense of the space, where you are in it, and where you can go. Customer journey maps should also include a layer of implications and solutions for problem areas. It's not very useful to know where you're falling short in the experience if you don't also identify what you can do to close the gap. To get here, you need to translate your implications from user research findings into actionable solutions.
Valuable customer journey maps are based on evidence from user research.
Well-defined research objectives. What is it you want to know at the end of this study? This sets the stage for the types of questions you ask or scenarios you seek to observe in order to understand your customer's journeys with your brand. Identify the scenarios you want to understand more about, and which behaviors or needs you want to investigate.
Appropriate participant recruitment. What are the defining characteristics of the customers we need to learn about in order to fulfill our research objectives? Talking to the wrong people will get you the wrong information for your current needs, and can set you down a path that leads to poor conclusions down the line. Identify which customer segment you prioritize over others, and target participants who fit those characteristics.
Obsessive notetakers and observers. Garbage in, garbage out. The next step, rigorous analysis, depends solely on the quality of evidence gathered in the form of notes and observations, so this has to be accurate and thorough. Make sure your research team has a system for note-taking and observing that allows for detailed gathering of evidence. And because every research program is unique, be sure your research team is in the habit of continuously re-examining and refining their systems for observing and documenting research sessions.
Thoughtful and rigorous analysis. A valuable customer journey map documents actions, behaviors, and motivations behind behaviors. It can also illustrate the mental models your users hold about your site or product, and the information needs and information-seeking behaviors they express in relation to your site or product. Analysis that is grounded in a rigorous framework of evidence-seeking is crucial to getting to this level of insight. The analysis should produce hypotheses about mental models and information behaviors. Make sure your research team has the experience to be able to complete this level of analysis.
Clear translation from findings to implications to actionable insights. Translating observations about user needs and behaviors into a set of solutions is what makes a customer journey map truly valuable. In this way, the map not only documents what is happening for your customers, but also illustrates a path forward for you and your stakeholders, and helps you identify and prioritize the work that needs to be done to improve the customer experience. Make sure your research team has the depth of knowledge about information architecture, taxonomy, content strategy, and the like, to translate appropriately for your needs.
Like any good geographic map, customer journey maps are only valuable when they are accurate, insightful, and allow the reader to act upon what they learn. By using an evidence-based approach to creating a customer journey map, the map goes beyond a simple depiction of the experience and becomes a valuable decision-making and planning tool for improving your customer experience.


I don't think I'm giving anything away if I say that I've been struggling a bit at work lately. Some of that has nothing to do with my gender, and some of it has everything to do with my gender. And some of it, its hard to say. I should also say: some of it is probably my own damn fault. I'm not perfect, by any stretch.
A lot of the part that has to do with my gender is due to cracks in the plasterwork I've put up to cover the disconnect between me and the male work culture I inhabit. The cracks have been growing lately, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to why. The particular guys I'm working with now aren't unusually sexist or obnoxious. In fact, I rather like them all. I've got some women on my team (I hired most of them) and there are other women at the company. It is, in other words, about as good as things are likely to get, at least on paper. Still, something is... not right for me. I suspect it is something about the company culture, but haven't pinned it down, and even if I had, I would not blog about it at this point.
Even when my work is at its crappiest, I live a pretty great life. This is not to say that I'm going to stop trying to fix the crap, just that I won't let the crap obscure the awesome things in my life. I am (mostly) healthy. I have a great family, I live in a great place, I have enough money to go on great vacations... Etc., etc.
I've written before about how I use mindfulness to maintain my equilibrium at work. In that earlier post, I mostly wrote about using a mindfulness practice to build my reserves of patience. I also use mindfulness techniques to fight the tendency to be derailed by BS at work. When someone does something that is BS, I try to recognize it for what it is, name it as BS, and then consciously put it aside.
This works for egregiously sexist things, but it also works for what I call the "accidental gaslighting" that pervades work places that are lacking in diversity. Since everyone (or at least everyone with the power, authority, and automatic respect) is of the same basic type, a lazy assumption that their way of thinking and responding is the one and only "right" way can take hold. If you respond differently to something, it is a problem with you, not with the thing to which you responded. This happens even when everyone thinks they respect you and value your input. They will in fact tell you that they respect you and value your input, but that you just have to learn to handle X or not be so sensitive about Y or what not.
And that is BS. Because often the X and Y are things like a confrontational discussion style ("it is the only way to make sure we don't succumb to group think!"), a tendency to talk over you ("you just need to talk louder!"), a tendency to make everyone earn respect ("but we do that to everyone!" ), and so on. Somehow they miss that their confrontational discussion style silences some group members, leaving only the ones who tend to think alike feeling comfortable speaking up. They miss that they don't talk over everyone equally as often, or in the same way. They do not realize that in fact, they do NOT make everyone earn their respect in the same way. Some people start with more baseline respect than others.
And they have never considered that their "male" way isn't the default "right" way. Of course, everyone should adopt their way!
In fact, our entire culture is Henry Higgins. We have to have entire books written about What Works for Women at Work and how we can successfully be just the perfect amount more like men. Where are the books telling the men not to be such insensitive asses?
All of this cruft tends to accumulate in my brain until I start believing that there is something wrong with me, too.
And that is the biggest BS of them all.
I fight it with the mindfulness trick of observing the BS thought, labeling it, and putting it aside. I imagine a big, sturdy box in my mind. I shove the BS thought in that box and lock it up. This works until something breaks the box open.
I have X cycles to spend. I don't want to spend a bunch of them on fixing sexist problems. I want to spend that time doing good work.
Not only does each battle exhaust some of my energy, but each battle damages me. Being a geek, I imagine this like the health points in a videogame. Each time I fight sexism in the workplace, I pick up negative health points, in the form of people perceiving me as a "complainer" or "not a team player" or what not. If I deplete my health points too much, I'll be out of the game.
Those are my tricks. Does anyone have any others they want to share?
*Interestingly, calling out racism, homophobia, or ableism does not seem to deplete my health points as much as calling out sexism. Also, since I am in the privileged group in all of those cases, I feel it is my responsibility to speak up when I see these issues in the workplace, so I almost never walk away from those battles.
I have now lectured two big (white) men in the field on implicit bias when they said something that seriously ticked me off. (#1 accusing a woman who will someday get a Nobel Prize of bragging while at the same time saying that my braggart unlikely to get a Nobel white male colleague is really something special, and #2 for saying nasty things about a woman candidate because she wanted to negotiate her job offer and she wanted the offer in writing.) Tenure, I guess, has advantages.
p.s. I don't know if it did any good, but it made me feel better.
p.p.s. I've found that senior white men (and students) don't seem to mind much being talked to as if they were 3 years old. They, in fact, seem to prefer that to being treated as if they're equals in a spirited debate kind of situation (in which we seem "uppity"). I suspect this has something to do with the madonna-mother-crone thing... it's ok to discipline if we remind them of their mothers or their preschool teachers.
I use a lot of the same tricks as you. Another one that's been helpful for me is to find other women to vent to, and do that before discussing with others (read: with men). I'm a venter. I just am. And I need to get my frustrations and emotions out. But I've found that if I start venting my frustrations to men, I get eye rolls, get the equivalent of there-there-there head pats, get labeled a complainer or difficult, etc.
I've made close relationships with a few women in similar positions to mine, and I've been able to go to them and get my venting out, talk through why I'm so frustrated and discuss how I want to address it. Then, when I do go to address the issue, I am able to do so in a calm, pointed way.
Although I will note that when my women friends and I discussed issues in meetings using our typical style with each other, the men in the group said it wasn't appropriate and definitely felt threatened. This is why my women friends and I started going for coffee before and/or after difficult meetings, and in the meetings we'd switch to a style the men found more acceptable. And that pissed us all off, and though we did bring it up to the men, the end result was still that we only vented to each other.
Hi @caramama! Welcome back! And good tips.
Have you caught any of the new HBO comedy "Silicon Valley"? It's a complete mockery of the "bro-culture" in IT-tech, not to mention the TEDification of entrepreneurship.
I've recently asked some former female colleagues about the degree of sexism and harassment that they've encountered in the work place and have been appalled at the response. Some have been direct reports and I asked them how come they didn't tell me. The common answer was that they didn't think I could do anything about it and they were afraid of being labeled "troublemakers". I'm afraid they're probably more right than I'd like to think.
I think it is really hard to respond to even blatant sexism. I know that there have been times when I have heard someone say something incredibly racist and been so taken aback and surprised that I have missed my chance to say something. I feel terrible, and try to do better... but we're only human. We can't always be the best person we want to be.
And to be clear- the stuff at my current job is not like what you described at your old job. It is just a culture that has evolved that I think men will in general be more comfortable in. There are some women who are doing really well, though, and there are aspects of my own history and personality that make this particular culture a particularly tough place for me... so it is complicated.
It is great to be reminded to pick battles mindfully! Nice post, thanks.
#1 Find allies! I don't mean that in a Survivor kind of way, but find a sympathetic group to vent to, as @caramama does.
I'm not in a position where I fight many battles publicly. But I pay attention and make note, and plan for when I have a stronger voice. When I was in grad school, I learned how to smile and shake it off, but I never forgot it, or pretended to myself like it didn't matter. That's what I learned: that swallowing it and playing along are not the same things as normalizing or forgetting. It drives me bonkers when I run into women who insist they have never encountered nor seen any discrimination or harassment (with the implication of therefore it must not exist). But sometimes you have to bide your time and play along, too.
Thanks! And if the other person is who I think... pass along my congratulations, too!
She may be sending you a copy of her resume, but it looks pretty good right now--her grad school's career office does skype appointments with graduates and made really good suggestions. I don't know why more graduates don't utilize those services.

Trump doubled down in his attacks on 4 Democratic congresswomen of color, calling their actions 'horrible' and 'disgusting'
President Donald Trump has renewed attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color he said should "go back and help fix" their "broken and crime infested" countries. "If Democrats want to unite around the foul language & racist hatred spewed from the mouths and actions of these very unpopular & unrepresentative Congresswomen, it will be interesting to see how it plays out," he tweeted Monday. The tweets were directed at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

It's unclear to what extent the government can enforce hijab compliance amid an economic malaise, including a currency collapse and rising housing prices. There's anecdotal evidence that more women are pushing back against the dress code, trying to redefine red lines as they test the response of the ruling Shiite Muslim clergy and their security agencies.
Hurricane Barry photos show an otherworldly city, deep under water
For the people of Mandeville, Louisiana, the effects of Hurricane Barry continue to be nothing short of otherworldly. On Saturday, the now tropical storm made landfall along the northern Gulf Coast as a Category 1 hurricane, leaving tens of thousands across Louisiana and Mississippi without power and otherwise cut off from drier parts of the region. Areas of widespread flooding varied in severity with some seeing accumulations of 20 inches, while others escaped with substantially lower-than-predicted rainfall.

Climate change forum loses sponsor after dispute over story
A planned forum on climate change for Democratic presidential candidates lost several major sponsors on Saturday in the wake of the left-leaning magazine The New Republic publishing — and later retracting — a vulgar and homophobic story related to gay presidential contender Pete Buttigieg. The New Republic was slated as a chief sponsor of a September event designed to spark climate change discussion among candidates during a U.N. climate summit. The magazine pulled down what it called "an opinion piece" about Buttigieg soon after its publication on Friday, citing "criticism of the piece's inappropriate and invasive content." But The New Republic as well as three top sponsors bowed out of the climate change event.

CAIRO: Hosni Mubarak's former intelligence chief said his bid for the presidency does not have the support of Egypt's military rulers and accused Islamists of sending him death threats, an Egyptian newspaper reported on Monday.
Omar Suleiman, 74, announced his candidacy on Friday and showed he still wields political clout by collecting around 72,000 signatures of eligible voters in one day, more than twice the 30,000 required. The deadline for submitting signatures was Sunday.
Suleiman's military background suggested to many that he had the backing of the ruling army council that took over from Mubarak in February last year.
"The supreme council has no relation, neither negatively nor positively, with my decision to join the race for the presidency," Suleiman said in an interview published in the state's Al-Akhbar newspaper on Monday.
"And indeed, as soon as my nomination for the presidency was announced, I received on my personal mobile and through some people close to me death threats and messages saying 'we will take revenge' from members of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups," he added.
Suleiman, made vice president by Mubarak in the last days of his three-decade rule, symbolizes that era's tough security regime and poses a threat to Islamists, who were routinely harassed and arrested during Mubarak's era, and to liberals, who spearheaded Mubarak's ouster. But his candidacy might appeal to some Egyptians hoping for an end to political instability.
His 11th-hour decision to run for president came shortly after the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist movement long suppressed by Mubarak and now in control of a parliament majority, broke a pledge not to field a candidate and nominated its deputy leader, Khairat al-Shater, for head of state.
In an interview with Reuters on Sunday, Shater denounced Suleiman's bid for his former boss's job.
The support of the Brotherhood's formidable campaign machine makes Shater an immediate front-runner.
Members of the Brotherhood were not available to comment on Suleiman's accusation that he received death threats from them.
The military council has said it will hand power to civilians after a presidential election due in May and June. Around 23 candidates qualified to run for head of state and most of the top contenders are Islamists or Mubarak-era politicians.
"And I have told the Egyptian youth and many others with whom I have met during the revolution period that I am in favor of their legitimate demands," he added.
If he were to win, Suleiman said he would not interfere in the trials of any of the members of the former regime. Mubarak and some of his top officials are on trial for charges related to the death of over 800 protesters during the uprising and for corruption. The final verdict in Mubarak's case is due on June 2.
The current constitution that gave absolute powers to the president was suspended by the army shortly after the toppling of Mubarak.
Suleiman said he could not accept the presidency if the constitutional committee decides to give more power to the parliament than the president.
Like most of his rivals, Suleiman vowed to bring security back to the streets, aid Egypt's distressed economy, implement democracy and respect all international treaties.
During the Egyptian uprising Suleiman had said in an interview with ABC that Egyptians were not ready for democracy. His comments turned against him the millions of Egyptians who had campaigned for weeks for an end to Mubarak's rule.
"Egypt will always be and continue to be a national democratic state where its children enjoy full rights," Suleiman said in Monday's interview.

Today I flew the flight schools airplane over to an airport about 10 minutes away to get its oiled changed. What a day it was to fly today, on the way there it was so smooth and wind was calm making landing a breeze. For not being in the saddle for a month or so I thought my landing may be a little rough, but I was totally wrong I greased it and taxied it over to the mechanics hangar. I was about 10 minutes early so I just sat and waited. Finally he arrived and he got to work, he was a nice guy but loves his politics in the hangar. I helped him out taking the cowling out and he ended up teaching me a few things while he was changing the oil.
While I was waiting for him to finish, you can bet I started chatting with him about his flying life. To my surprise he got his training in the US Navy, and even more surprisingly he flew helicopters in the Navy! When he isnt a mechanic he flys for a business based out of the airport, and he flys the single turbo prop TBM (picture below). He let me take a look inside, and boy did it look like a fun machine to fly. Anyone who talks to this guy will quickly learn that he knows so much about aircraft, hes like a airplane guru, he said he about thousands of hours the Cessna 210 and used to fly the Beechcraft King Air as well.
After the plane was all ready to go I started it up thanked him and was on my way home. 10 minutes later I was on the ground at my home airport with yet another happy and soft landing!

A hard look at Lincoln: City seeks to redevelop dilapidated block
By Fred Petke
Published 11:49 am Thursday, April 6, 2017
City officials have taken the first step in a project which could bring new housing to a block on Lincoln Street.
Tuesday evening, the Winchester Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to hire a consulting firm to prepare the application for a community development block grant for the project.
City Manager Matt Belcher said the block between Flanagan and East Hickman streets has been discussed by the Urban Renewal Board for some time as a possible redevelopment project. If approved, the project could encompass up to 30 properties along the block. Presently, there are a number of vacant lots and abandoned homes. Belcher said those living along the street would be offered relocation assistance, or could receive their lot back with assistance to rebuild.
The scope of the project is yet to be determined, he said, and the application deadline is Aug. 1. The maximum amount for a CDBG is $1 million.
"We may have to do this one over several years and several phases," Winchester Mayor Ed Burtner said.
The goal of the project, he said, is to build safe low- to moderate-income housing along the street.
The Commissioners voted to hire Kriss Lowry and Associates from Scott County to prepare the application for the federal program. The CDBG would fund demolition, property acquisition and relocation benefits, she said.
For the project to work, Lowry said the city would need to obtain all the property within the block. The city may have to use eminent domain to obtain property in the case of abandoned property or not being able to locate all the heirs for a piece of property, she said.
A few of the existing structures on Lincoln Street could be renovated to meet code, she said, but not many.
"Obviously most of these are suitable for demolition," she said.
Belcher said the Urban Renewal Board pledged up to $10,000 for the application process.
"I think (the project) is a splendid idea," Commissioner Rick Beach said.
Later in Tuesday's meeting, the commissioners also voted to set a Monday deadline for the contractor for a Washington Street drainage project to get back on site to make progress on the project.
In October, the commissioners approved a contract with DMH Construction to repair a long-standing drainage problem among several homes along the street. Commissioner Shannon Cox said the project is still not complete and he's tired and embarrassed for the residents of the area.
"I don't know what we have to do but we have to do something," Cox said. "One property owner said she'd never give an easement to the city again. One of the ladies up there said 'Please put our yards back the way they were and we'll deal with the water.' We took a project that was a six or seven on the misery scale to residents and we've made it 150."
Belcher said the project has been extended partly because of winter weather, but also because they found a spring under the property. It has taken time to design a drain for the spring, he said. Though the winter has been mild, there has not been a long enough stretch for the property to dry so workers can finish.
Brian Ward of Palmer Engineering said the scope of the project changed following the discovery of the spring. There will also be a change order coming before the commission about the project. Ward said he was on site with the contractor last week for more preparation work.
Cox made a motion for the contractor to be on site by Monday and do what could be done, but withdrew it after receiving a second from Magistrate Kenny Book. Burtner then made the motion himself and, after Book seconded again, it was approved unanimously.
In other action, the commissioners approved a resolution for J&T Munitions as it prepares to add 15 to 20 jobs. The city agrees to waive its share of the occupational tax for those new employees for up to 10 years.

How It Works: InterScan Messaging Hosted Security Advanced
Published By: Trend Micro SaaS Published Date: Oct 08, 2008
According to experts at TrendLabs, spam now makes up close to 95% of all email and continues to grow. In the first three months of 2008 spam rates almost doubled over rates observed at the end of 2007 and TrendLabs predicts that average daily spam volumes will increase by 30 to 50 billion messages per day within the year.1 As spam continues to grow at dramatic rates, traditional on-premise email security products are failing to keep up. This limitation is one of the primary reasons that IDC predicts demand for hosted security solutions -also known as SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions-will grow by more than 30% annually through 2012.2 For context, the growth rate for hosted email security is projected to be more than eight times that of the traditional software email security market, and more than 60% faster than appliance-based email security solutions.

Email Encryption for InterScan Messaging Hosted Security
Published By: Trend Micro SaaS Published Date: Feb 09, 2009
Today's confidentiality and privacy requirements drive organizations of all sizes and industries to secure sensitive data in email. Often particular types of data need to be encrypted, such as credit card numbers, intellectual property, or client information. Organizations also need to protect confidential emails for particular groups, such as executive management, human resources or legal departments. Many organizations are turning to policy-based encryption to meet their encryption needs because it automatically encrypts data using content filtering rules that identify types of content or email for particular groups. Encryption is applied when the rules are triggered. With policy-based encryption, organizations avoid relying on individual users to secure important content.

Why You Should Consider Hosted Messaging Security
Hosted, or "in-the-cloud", messaging security capabilities are becoming increasingly popular with organizations of all sizes. Some have already adopted hosted services, while others are becoming more receptive to the notion of using third party services to manage their security infrastructure than they were just a year ago. Particularly driven by the current economic recession, decision makers are realizing that hosted email security can provide a cost-effective solution while actually improving security.

We Made That appointed masterplanner for Park Royal Centre
Words: Prithvi Pandya
The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) has chosen architecture and urbanism practice We Made That as masterplanner for Park Royal Centre.

Park Royal in West London is home to 2,000 businesses and is the UK's largest industrial estate, with 2,227 hectares of industrial land.
The vision for Park Royal is for it to continue to thrive as an industrial area and accommodate even more businesses and jobs.
The estate next to Old Oak is a large development area set to become home to High Speed 2 (HS2) and the Elizabeth line (formerly Crossrail) by 2026. It will act as a hub between London, the rest of the UK, Europe and the world.
Oliver Goodhall, partner at We Made That, said: "Park Royal Centre masterplan programme is an incredibly exciting opportunity to bring to fruition some of the crucial early moves in a bold and ambitious project, whilst also shaping its long-term trajectory for a new designated neighbourhood centre within a unique industrial context."
Relatively little was known about the diversity of Park Royal's businesses until the Park Royal Atlas, published in 2014, identified sectors including food manufacturing, logistics and the film industry.
The Park Royal Centre masterplan is required to explore:
How congestion in and around the Park Royal estate can be reduced;
How Central Middlesex Hospital can be better integrated;
How a minimum of 1,400 new jobs and 650 new homes can be accommodated;
How capacity for additional and existing businesses by creating 3,000 square metres of new town centre floorspace can be increased; and
What early activation projects and public realm enhancements can be delivered to create a safer and more improved and pleasant place for people to work and live in and travel through.
The emerging masterplan will be discussed at a public consultation event in July, with the final masterplan expected to be completed in early autumn.

We've come out for lunch at our local Thai restaurant, Sawadee Thai taste. The owner, Apple, is celebrating Chinese New year because her great great grandmother was chinese.
Well we have had a feast of lovely food. Including fish, meat and vegetarian dishes.

Anyone else's 2017 Oasis restart with an empty library?
Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2018 2:33 am Post subject: Anyone else's 2017 Oasis restart with an empty library?
When I first got the device everything looked correct--all my titles were visible and could be downloaded in the library. A day or so later the device restarted and the library was totally empty. Searching for titles would show nothing. My previously purchased titles in the store would display as purchased, but the link to "see in library" just displays the still empty library. Any help would be appreciated.
When I received my Oasis 2017 I could access my Kindle book library, but none of my Audible content. On the advice of an Amazon tech support I de-registered, then re-registered my Oasis and did a factory reset.
Now my Oasis tells me that my library is empty and I cannot access any of my content from my Oasis. Strangely, I can push books to my Oasis via the "deliver" option on the Amazon website, but the rest of my library remains invisible to my Oasis.
My device is greyed out when I try to deliver audiobooks to my Oasis via the website, so I still cannot access any of my Audible content, which is one of the main reasons I bought the new Oasis.
I've been on Amazon tech support for over an hour now, having to explain the same situation again and again to various people, who don't even seem able to grasp what my problem is; "So, sir, which book is not appearing in your library?", "Are you talking about the the correct device, sir?", "So sir, how many books are showing in your library".
This is extremely frustrating, as the Oasis itself is a great bit of kit.
Thank You for kind help and Support.

In 2007, Westwick appeared in the film Son of Rambow and was cast as Chuck Bass in The CW's teen drama series Gossip Girl, based on the book series of the same name by Cecily von Ziegesar. Westwick said of his casting, "There wasn't much work in the UK. I was only in LA for a month and I got this show. It's changed my life. " For his portrayal of Chuck, he assumed an American accent, based on the character Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As a result of the show's success, he was named one of 2008's Sexiest Men Alive by People magazine, and appeared the following year on its "100 Most Beautiful" list with the whole cast of Gossip Girl. Westwick earned the 2008 and 2009 awards for Best TV Villain at the Teen Choice Awards, and was named Breakthrough Talent by GQ in 2010. Entertainment Weekly also named Westwick's character Chuck Bass number one in their "Best Dressed TV Characters of 2008" list (tied with Leighton Meester's character Blair Waldorf), as well as in their "Best Performances" list alongside co-star Meester.

Sustainable energy is the provision of energy such that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. A broader interpretation may allow inclusion of fossil fuels as transitional sources while technology develops, as long as new sources are developed for future generations to use. A narrower interpretation includes only energy sources which are not expected to be depleted in a time frame relevant to the human race, which can potentially also include nuclear power if it is utilized differently from the current manner.
Sustainable energy sources are most often regarded as including all renewable energy sources, such as biofuels, solar power, wind power, wave power, geothermal power and tidal power.
Hydroelectric power may be unsustainable if it involves damming a river and thus disrupting the river's ecosystem, including nutrient flows via silt and fish migration. This impact can be reduced through measures such as fish ladders, but not easily eliminated. Microhydro and any run-of-the-river hydroelectric scheme potentially has a very much smaller environmental impact.
The broader concept "sustainable energy technology" can be used to include improvements to energy efficiency.
Biomass; can be harvested using ?
Muscle energy; can be harvested using ?
Biofuels, depending on the type and source.
Nuclear energy - thorium reactors appear to offer many benefits and have much lower risk and environmental impact than uranium-derived nuclear power, but are not commercially viable at this stage.
Other types of stored energy (ie coal, fossil fuel, can be converted using fossil fuel power plants. If carbon capture and storage is used, the greenhouse impact will be slashed by 80-90%. This has not yet been applied at commercial scale to electric power stations, but all the component technologies are proven in other contexts, and carbon capture and storage is already applied commercially in the gas extraction industry (separating carbon dioxide from natural gas and burying it, and in crude oil extraction ("enhanced oil recovery" involving injecting carbon dioxide into reservoirs to force out more oil).
