AbstractNano-sized-Fe particles have been attracting great attentions due to its excellent physical and chemical properties in recent years. In this paper, nano-sized-Fe particles were prepared by solid phase method using Fe(NO·9HO and NaOH as raw materials. A series of experimental researches were carried out in order to obtain the nano-sized iron oxide powders with mono-phase and good dispersion.X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to investigate the products. The best preparation parameters were also obtained through these series of contrastive experiments. The results from XRD showed that the products were-Fe. It could be seen from TEM that their shapes were peanut-like, and the sizes of the particles were around 50 nm.
Nano-sized-Fe particles are widely used as functional materials because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. There are comprehensive applications in magnetic materials, gas-sensing materials, catalyst materials and so on [1]. Generally, nanoparticles of-Fe can be prepared by sol-gel method [2,3], microemulsion method [4], hydrothermal method [1,5], microwave method [6, 7,8], solid phase method[9], and so on. In the present paper, nanoparticles of-Fe were prepared by solid-phase method using Fe(NO·9HO and NaOH as raw materials. Different experimental conditions were carried out in order to obtain the nano-sized iron oxide powders with mono-phase and good dispersion.Compared with other methods, the solid phase method applied for preparation of nano-sized-Fe particles has advantages of low cost of production, simple process and short period of production, which are suitable for industrial production. We hope that the method described in the paper is useful for production of nano-sized-Fe on industrial scale.
The nano-sized-Fe particles were prepared as follows: 10 g Fe(NO·9HO and 3 g NaOH were put into agate mortar, then were mixed and grinded thoroughly. With grinded, the mixture became glue gradually, and then solidified. The solidified materials were grinded to powders, and then washed three times with water and ethanol, respectively. The prepared materials were decompressing filtered, air dehydration naturally at ambient temperature, and then the precursors were obtained. Then the precursor was grinded, and calcined for different period at different temperature. Finally, the products were obtained. The phase compositions of the products were examined by XRD. The sizes and shapes of the products were testified by TEM.
3. RESULTS AND DISSCUSSION
3.1 XRD analysis of the nanoparticles of-Fe
The crystal structure of the five samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction using CuKradiation (CuKCu = 0.154178 nm). The conditions of calcinations were showed in Table 1. The XRD patterns of samples were illustrated in Fig. 1.
Table 1. The conditions for calcinations of the precursors
Samples #1 #2 #3 #4 #5
Temperature and period 673K 2h 773K 2h 873K 2h 673K 2h , 873K 2h 573K 2h , 973K 2h
Fig.1 XRD patterns of the samples
According to Fig.1, the sample #1 wasα-Fe and belongs to hexagonally, the shapes of peaks were in accordance with the other references [1,10]. However, the 3.66 characteristic peak was absent in the XRD pattern of sample #1, which indicated some impurity of-Fe was contained in sample #1. Thus, pure-Fe nano-sized particles could not be obtained by calcining the precursor for 2h at 673K. On the other hand, the reaction reagents could not be changed into-Fe completely due to the lower temperature and shorter period, some impurities and the residual precursor still remained in sample #1 [6]. The sample #2 was better than the sample #1, although some impurities were still contained in the sample #2. According to Fig.1, the sample #3, #4 and #5 were pure-Fe
Seen from Fig. 1, with the temperature of calcinations ascending and the period extending, the X-ray diffraction peaks became higher and narrower. The average sizes of particles were calculated by the Scherrer formula:
D = k·/(·COS
where D (nm) is the primary diameter of the product, k equals 1.075,Cu (nm) is 0.154178,(arc) is integral peak width,(degree) is angle of diffraction. X-ray diffraction peaks with low angular degree (generally 2≤50°) were selected for calculation, and the average value was obtained. These results were showed in Table 2. From Table 2, it could be seen that the primary diameter of particles was in the range of 20-30 nm.
Table 2. Average primary diameter of samples by calculation according to XRD data
D (nm) 20.004 25.786 23.339 26.922 25.110
3.2 TEM analysis of nano-sized particles of-Fe
The TEM photograph of sample #3 was shown in Fig. 2. According to Fig. 2, the sizes of the particles were about 50 nm and their shapes were peanut-like. The TEM photographs of the other samples were similar to Fig. 2, so these photographs were not shown in the present paper. Commonly, the calculated primary diameter based on XRD was less than the primary diameter based on TEM, our result was accordant with this phenomenon in this study.
Fig. 2 The TEM photograph of sample #3
3.3 Optimization of temperature and period of calcinations
The temperature and period of calcinations were important factors for preparation of nano-sized-Fe particles. Pure and uniform Fe(OH) began to decompose at 575.1K,-Fe emerged at 573-673K, with the temperature ascending constantly, Fe(OH) decomposed completely at 873K 2h, then-Fe was obtained. With the temperature ascending and the period extending, the sizes of-Fe particles become larger. Finally, the temperature of 873K and the period of 2h were chosen for preparation of nano-sized-Fe particles.
3.4 Mechanism of preparation of nano-sized particles by solid-phase method
The mechanism can be described by the following two steps:
Fe(NO·9HO + 3 NaOH Fe(OH) + 3NaNO +9H
2Fe(OH)-Fe +3H
In the process of solid-phase reaction, the contact area of reagents becomes larger by grind; meanwhile the temperature of some area ascends, which can initiate reaction of the reagents. Crystal water was included by Fe(NO·9HO and the melting point of Fe(NO·9HO was low, therefore the trace crystal water can be used as space of accelerating the reaction. The particles collided with each other and nucleuses were formed rapidly, but particles were very difficult to cross every phase, therefore the nucleuses could not grow rapidly. According to the theories of crystal science, when the speed of forming nucleuses far exceeded the speed of growing of nucleuses, small particles can be formed easily. Therefore solid-phase method was a good way for preparation of nano-sized particles.
In this study, nano-sized-Fe particles were prepared by solid phase method using Fe(NO·9HO and NaOH as raw materials. The prepared production was characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The experiment showed that the temperature and period of calcinations were important factors influencing preparation of nano-sized-Fe particles. The best preparation parameters were also obtained through contrastive experiments. The results from XRD showed that the products were-Fe. It could be seen from TEM that their shapes were peanut-like, and the sizes of the particles were around 50 nm. The technology for preparation of nano-sized-Fe particles by solid phase method had advantages of low cost of production, simple process and short period of production, which were suitable for industrial production.

Inside CoolGames: The brain behind the game
Bob Devilee joined CoolGames 5 years ago as an intern. He's now a game designer where being able to pitch ideas and iterate on designs are the most important professional qualities to have.
Q: How did you start at CoolGames and how long have you worked here?
A: It's been incredible fun working for CoolGames these last 5 years. I've been doing HTML5 games since I started with my internship in the last year of my bachelor degree (Game design & Production at the Breda University of Applied Sciences). At school they taught me about AAA games in full 3D, so I was surprised to discover what a big deal HTML5 games are. It is just as challenging—maybe more so—to make this type of game exciting to play.
Q: How would you describe your job?
A: I like to describe my job as being the "brain" behind the game.
It's my responsibility to make sure the game we're building is fun to play, but also performs great from a business point of view.
I come up with new game concepts and features, like how to combine Monopoly and Sudoku. I'm also responsible for balancing out the user experience, such as how long a person plays until they reach a certain level. Throughout the process I work together with the team to find the best solutions.
Q: What does a typical day look like?
A: My team starts the day with a stand up. We do a round of what everyone worked on yesterday and what they will work on today. From there I can find myself doing any number of things including:
– Creating wireframes (UI Design / screen flows)
– Writing game design documents for new games or features
– Meeting with the team to bounce off ideas and communicate changes
– Analysing data to find pain points and improvements
– Testing the game and make adjustments accordingly
Q: What are the best professional qualities to have for a game designer?
A: The ability to pitch ideas and iterate on your designs is the most important quality. You also need to be communicative and open for feedback from the team. It's all about having an open mind and discussing what is best for the game in order to achieve a polished design. Stay hungry to learn at all times, because the industry is always evolving.
Q: What's the coolest thing about working at CoolGames?
A: The work environment and working together with a talented team. Everyone is down to earth and easy to talk with. It feels like a group of friends working on a game together and simply enjoying their time.

Home / Blog / 📋 Types of Motherboard Form Factors
📋 Types of Motherboard Form Factors
In a nutshell, the motherboard form factor indicates the shape and size specifications of the board. The form factor also determines additional parameters such as the casing, power supply, mounting holes, and overall physical layout.
The first form factor dates back to 1983. At that time, IBM built the personal computer XT and since the form factor specs were open, many manufacturers used it as a de facto standard.
Today the technology landscape has changed. The original motherboard XT form factor evolved to 40 different forms, all deviating from the traditional personal computer use case. IBM is no longer the most popular motherboard builder, there are other manufacturers such as Intel, ASUS, VIA, ABIT, and more. There are motherboards built for embedded systems, rackmount servers, mobiles, media centers, vehicles, and more.
1. So, What is Motherboard Form Factor 🤔?
2. ≫ Form Factor ATX (Advanced Technology Extended)
3. ≫ Form Micro ATX
4. ≫ Form Micro Mini-ITX
5. ≫ Form Micro Nano-ITX
6. ≫ Form Micro Pico-ITX
7. Brief Comparison of the Motherboard Form Factors.
8. Form Factors and Some of Their Applications
8.1. In-Vehicle Computers
8.2. IoT Devices
9. Final Words
So, What is Motherboard Form Factor 🤔?
The motherboard is the main component, based on its function, of the internal structure of all computers. Mainly responsible for the interaction of all the elements of the computer, such as the CPU, RAM, storage, graphics card, I/O, among others.
It is extremely important to recognize its capabilities, limitations as well as the main features it contains so as not to repress the potential of any other piece within the PC. Another key element is the form-factor (exterior physical size and shape) which also should be considered for the computer application according to the field where it'll be used.
Motherboards are always characterized by their chipset, type of processor socket, and their form factor.
The following is a picture showing the most important Motherboard Components. The motherboard in the picture is the X570 AORUS PRO and its components are:
CPU and CPU socket.
RAM, DRAM, and RAM slots.
ATX power supply.
IDE Connectors
Northbridge and southbridge.
PCE Slot
CMOS Backup Battery
Integrated connectors for peripherals such as USB, mouse, keyboard, display, audio, Ethernet, etc.
The form factor for this specific motherboard, the X570 AORUS PRO, is the ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 24.4cm dimensions.
In this article we'll focus mainly on this feature, reviewing a list of the most common different form factors and their benefits, especially lower footprint to make computers more cost-effective.
Types of Motherboard Form Factors
≫ Form Factor ATX (Advanced Technology Extended)
Designed as an evolution of the Baby AT form factor, ATX marks a profound change in the architecture of the motherboard and other components such as the cabinet and the power supply.
Within the motherboard there are significant changes such as the location of the CPU socket, which is now placed near the power supply, thus allowing the flow of air caused by the fan of the source and not to be interfered with by any element as it happened with the technology Baby AT.
Another change was the connection between the source of the feed. Which is now a single connector, unlike the AT which were two. Some of the most important improvements for ATX and benefits are:
Integrated input and output ports
Slots of expansion without interference
Start Control by software
3 Vol. from the source (reduces hardware cost, energy consumption, and heat)
A better airflow
Less interference in access to drive bays.
The ATX motherboard dimensions are 12 × 13 in. A variation of the ATX is the Mini ATX, which is essentially a reduced-size version of ATX but more reduced in terms of its shape, its measurements are 11.2 × 8.2 inches.
This form factor is the most used today, especially on desktop computers, and after this technology was released several other factors where based on it. Such as the Mini-ITX, Mini-ATX, Micro-ATX, Nano ITX, and Pico-ITX.
≫ Form Micro ATX
It is an evolution of ATX. Its measures are 9.6 × 9.6 inches. The Micro-ATX supports up to four expansion slots that can combine freely with ISA, PCI, PCI / ISA shared, and AGP. Mounting holes changed from the Standard ATX, since the measurements are different, but they are also compatible with most ATX cabinets.
This type of motherboard form factor supports both Intel and AMD processors. It is commonly used on Small Form Factor Desktop Computers.
≫ Form Micro Mini-ITX
Mini ITX is a low-power consumption motherboard format of 6.7 × 6.7 inches. Its dimensions are the most characteristic factor of this type of form factor. Although this type of motherboard was designed with the aim of empowering teams of low consumption, at present there are no limits and they have grown by giant steps in terms of benefits.
Since the Mini-ITX was introduced they have expanded in all kinds of applications, thanks to their open standard factor. Mini ITX is a standard format for all types of equipment, such as vehicle embedded computers, industrial applications, and IoT. The Mini-ITX is the first standard system of reduced format that is popularized, reaching all types of projects and any equipment where it may be necessary.
≫ Form Micro Nano-ITX
The Nano-ITX is another type of motherboard form factor, that measures 4.7 × 4.7 in. Nano-ITX are fully integrated boards designed to consume very low power. This type of motherboard can be used in many applications, but it was specially designed for smart entertainment, like PVRs, media centers, smart TVs, in-vehicle devices, and more.
≫ Form Micro Pico-ITX
The Pico-ITX is the smallest type of motherboard form factor in this list. Its measurements are 3.9 × 2.8 in and it is 75% smaller than the Mini-ITX. This motherboard was designed and developed by VIA, to open up innovation for smaller and smarter IoT devices.
The Pico-ITX with an x86-based-platform and low-power consumption board is a great choice for embedded systems applications, such as industrial automation, in-vehicle computers, digital signage, and more.
Brief Comparison of the Motherboard Form Factors.
Below is a chart comparing the most popular motherboard form factors.
Form Factor Manufacturer/Date Dimensions Applications
Standard-ATX Intel 1995 12 × 13 in Workstation/Desktop
Micro-ATX Intel 1997 9.6 × 9.6 in Small Form Factor
Mini-ITX VIA 2001 6.7 × 6.7 in Small Form Factor
Nano-ITX VIA 2003 4.7 × 4.7 in Embedded Systems
Pico-ITX VIA 2007 3.9 × 2.8 in Embedded Systems
Mobile-ITX VIA 2009 2.4 × 2.4 in Embedded Systems
Below is a motherboard form factor size chart. This comparison picture helps understand the differences in dimensions for the most popular motherboard form factors.
Form Factors and Some of Their Applications
In-Vehicle Computers
Due to its really reduced format, yet powerful performance, the Mini-ITX systems can be installed in vehicles' reduced spaces in order to communicate real-time tracking and monitoring systems.
On example of a Mini- ITX solution is Lanner's V3G, which is a rugged fanless vehicle computer. V3G is powered by the new generation 14 nm Intel® Atom™ x7-E3950 SoC (formerly Apollo Lake). This processor consumes low volume of power and offers performance upgrade from previous generation of Atom™ processors, optimized for vehicle computing applications.
Since wireless network connectivity is one of the most critical requirements, the V3G offers 2 x mini-PCIe sockets with a swappable SIM slot supporting 3G/4G/LTE cellular communications. In addition, the compact system comes with built-in GPS for navigation and multiple antennae I/Os for extended receptions.
As an in-vehicle computer, V3G boasts an abundance of I/O peripheral connectivity including 2 x serial COM ports, 2 x video output by DVI-D, USB, and Digital I/O ports, and 2 x RJ-45 LAN ports to work with other components and subsystems in armored vehicles. For storage, V3G comes in SATA/mSATA storage options.
Lanner's V3G is a great solution in this case due to its certified LTE wireless connectivity and Military-grade ruggedness.
Smart LED street illumination has been embraced by multiple municipal governments worldwide, as the starting point for IoT-based smart city establishment. Since the street lighting infrastructure already exists, many city planners take smart lighting as the opportunity to enable their IoT foundation by consolidating sensors, wireless communication points, and open-interface technologies. In order to work with whole these elements at an external environment, the requirements that should be considered are abundant I/O ports, LTE connectivity, Wide Operating Temperature and (of course) being a reduced form factor.
One example of IoTs street illumination solution is Lanner's LEC-3030T a compact communication white-box IIoT gateway to meet the demands for smart LED street lighting. The gateway is physically designed in compact form factor and fanless thermal mechanism to meet the outdoor setting. Since extreme temperature is a potential challenge in an outdoor application, LEC-3030T can withstand a wide range of operating temperatures, from as low as -40°C to as high as 70°C.
In terms of the performance, the LEC-3030T is empowered by Intel® Atom™ E3815 processor and DDR3L at 1,333 MHz SO-DIMM memory up to 4GB to adequately perform data collection, analysis and transfer in an end-to-end application. Functioning as the IoT gateway for street lamps, LEC-3030T boasts an abundance of I/O connectors, such as VGA display, serial COM ports (with RS-232/422/485 and ESD/surge protection), digital I/O connector, RJ-45 LAN ports, and USB ports to accommodate various sensors and meters associated with the deployment.
These are only two excellent examples of the benefits of a PC reducing form factor tendency which provides great benefits in space and cost. We have not only reviewed the different form factors but also learned how the form factor enables PC applications in different industries.

With the rise of millions of different IoT devices and embedded systems, motherboard design is evolving rapidly. Sizes are changing, and forms are becoming more adaptable to each application.
The size of a device depends on the size of the motherboard. A smartwatch will require a totally different form factor than an industrial IoT device. So the form factor becomes a crucial characteristic when building the device.
The form factor determines the specifications on how a motherboard is built, from the size, shape, casing, power supply, mounting holes, and the overall layout.
The most common form factor is ATX, which evolved to mini-ATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and further. A different type of form factor, and smaller than the ATX is the ITX, which is significantly smaller than the micro-ATX. The ITX form factor can also be found as nano-ITX, pico-ITX, mobile-ITX, and more.

Q: How to instantiate variable like WebDriverWait when test are given driver type as test case? I am doing UI tests. At first I started with Firefox Browser driver only so I would declare the WebDriverWait variable under the class and would assign it under the [SetUp] method as shown in the code block and every test would be able to use it.
public class FirefoxTest {
public IWebDriver _driver;
public WebDriverWait _wait;
    [SetUp]
    public void SetupTest() {
          _driver = new FirefoxDriver();
          _wait = new WebDriverWait(_driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
    }

Then I tried to incorporate more BrowserDrivers by specifying them with the [TestCaseSource(typeof(WebDriverFactory), "Drivers")] attribute. So now the _driver variable have to be moved out of the [SetUp] and _wait variable doesn't know what _driver to use.
I tried to instantiate it in every Test but that was repetitive and those test used methods that also require WebDriverWait variable and those methods would not run a second time when another test tries to implement them because the WebDriverWait variable would already be declared.
My question is where can I instantiate WebDriverWait and other things that are driver dependent and that are usually written in [SetUp] and [TearDown] such as driver.Quit() when the driver are given as [TestCase].
Right now I have test written like
[TestCaseSource(typeof(WebDriverFactory), "Drivers")]
public void SomeTest(IWebDriver driver){
    driver.Navigate().GoTo....
}

The problem is that I then have to include
WebDriverWait _wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
driver.Quit()

in all the tests and the _wait in all the methods that are reused in the tests. Things that I had in the [SetUp] and [Teardown].

A: You have two choices here. You don't mention if the Drivers property on WebDriverFactory is a static or an instance property. If it's a static property, I'd add a static QuitAll method that I could call in my TearDown method. If it's an instance method, things get trickier, and I'm not sure you can get there from here with NUnit.
On the other hand, instead of creating a WebDriverFactory class to instantiate the drivers, there's another form of the TestCaseSource attribute that allows you to specify a property or field of the class your tests live in. It probably would also work for properties or fields of a base class, but you'd have to try that out to make sure. Then, you could use members of the same class your tests run from, and would have complete control over the driver objects' lifetimes. That would look something like this:
// WARNING! Untested code written from memory
// without the aid of an IDE. Not guaranteed to
// work or even compile without modification.
// Use private field, public property
// (personal choice).
private List<IWebDriver> activeDrivers = new List<IWebDriver>();
public List<IWebDriver> ActiveDrivers
{
    get { return this.activeDrivers; }
}

[TestFixtureSetUp]
public void InitializeDrivers()
{
    // Will run once for the class.
    // Use [SetUp] attribute to run
    // before each test method.
    this.activeDrivers.Add(new InternetExplorerDriver());
    this.activeDrivers.Add(new FirefoxDriver());
    this.activeDrivers.Add(new ChromeDriver());
}

[TestFixtureTearDown]
public void QuitAllDrivers()
{
    foreach(IWebDriver driver in this.activeDrivers)
    {
        driver.Quit();
    }
}

[TestCaseSource("ActiveDrivers")]
public void MyTest(IWebDriver driver)
{
    // Test goes here
}

Notice I've not said anything about your WebDriverWait field. This is because the WebDriverWait object is pretty lightweight, and doesn't cost much to construct. If you think having the constructor on-demand looks ugly or too verbose in your code, you can factor that out into a separate method you can call from your tests, like so:
private void WaitUntil<T>(IWebDriver driver, Func<IWebDriver, T> until)
{
    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
    wait.Until<T>(until);
}

A: You can instantiate types with [TestCase] like this:
[TestCase(typeof(WebDriverWait))]
public class Test(Type driverType)
{
    _driver = Activator.CreateInstance(type, args);
}

I don't know all your exact types and arguments, but Activator.CreateInstance could be helpful for you.

The flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines consists of three vertical stripes - the left stripe is blue and the right one is an equal sized green one. The middle stripe is yellow and is twice the size of the other stripes. In the center of the yellow stripe and the flag there are three green diamonds situated in a v pattern.
The flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was adopted on October 21, 1985 after gaining independence from Britain in 1979. The diamonds replaced the flags original emblem when it was adopted.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is one of the rare British Commonwealth countries that did not use the British ensign flag system, and instead uses one national flag for all purposes.
A Swiss graphic artist designed the current flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after a suitable design couldn't be found in a local flag competition.

Senators Back Protections for Undocumented Military Family Members
NY Cities Join Worldwide Vigils to Spotlight Trump Immigration Policies
Tennesseans Can Weigh In on Green-Card Policies
Currently, the Affordable Care Act makes legal immigrants, including green card holders and temporary visitors, eligible for subsidies to purchase private health insurance. (Twenty20)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As they prepare to vote in the November midterms, Tennesseans can also weigh in on a proposal by the Trump administration to punish legal permanent residents who have used certain public benefits - by making it harder for them to get a green card or visa.
The proposal comes despite studies that show legal permanent residents use benefits such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Medicaid at rates similar to U.S. citizens.
The rule change appeared Wednesday in the Federal Register, which kicks off a 60-day public comment period on the website Regulations.gov.
Ben Monterroso, executive director of the Latino support group Mi Familia Vota sees the move as cruel.
"It's trying to continue the narrative that President Trump did that immigrants are bad people and freeloaders, lazy people and criminals," he states. "It's another attack on the Latino community."
Monterroso points out that undocumented migrants aren't eligible for most kinds of public assistance.
The Department of Homeland Security says people who receive these types of aid should be declared a "public charge," which would count against them if they apply for a green card or visa.
The rule would also make it harder to get a green card for people who make less than $15,000 a year, regardless of whether they use public benefits.
Monterroso says he hopes voters will remember this issue in the November elections.
"They've been attacking the community expecting and hoping that the community's not going to defend themselves, but I think it's gone too far," he states. "This is the time that we can use our power to elect people that actually respect the community and see us as part of the country, and not as strangers that can be disposable workers."
The move is part of a series of federal actions targeting the immigrant community, some of which are tied up in litigation, including termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) programs, stepped up immigration raids, separating parents and children at the border and moves to end the policy that allows migrants to sponsor family members to come to the U.S.

Most businesses are required to a hold business license from the City of Chicago and/or the State of Illinois. Chicago's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection provides a list of businesses that might be exempt. You can apply for a City license online or visiting room 800 of City Hall (121 N. LaSalle Street) and speaking with a consultant.
A Public Place of Amusement or PPA License is required for many types of businesses or non-profits that produces, presents or conducts any type of amusement. This would include live theater, child activity centers, music venues, facilities rented for parties and places that have DJ's. Whether or not you charge for amusements, if your venue has a capacity of over 99 people, you are required to hold a PPA. Performing Arts Venue or PAV license can be used by smaller theaters.
Liquor licensure is regulated by the Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection, and the Local Liquor Control Commission. As part of the application process, businesses will often be required to obtain the alderman's approval. In the 47th Ward, 47th Ward Quality of Life Committee vets new liquor license applications. As part of the approval process, local community groups (like block clubs and chambers of commerce) are sent information on the applications and asked for feedback. Typical community concerns brought up with new drinking establishments are noise, littering, and other nuisance and criminal activities. Potential licensees should do everything to proactively address these concerns.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact Ernie Constantino in the 47th Ward Office at 773-549-4555 or ernie@chicago47.org.
Be mindful that some areas have moratoria that prohibit the issuance or transfer of tavern or packaged goods licenses. Please consult this City of Chicago webpage to find if you are applying in one of those areas.
Those seeking new licenses need to complete this questionnaire and return it to Ernie at ernie@chicago47.org. At that time, it will be distributed to the Quality of Life Committee for consideration. You will be notified of needed next steps once the committee has the opportunity to review your questionnaire.
Those seeking to lift a moratorium for an existing business for sale/transfer need to complete this questionnaire and return it to Ernie at ernie@chicago47.org. At that time, it will be distributed to the Quality of Life Committee for consideration. You will be notified of needed next steps once the committee has the opportunity to review your questionnaire.
There are some areas of the city that have been "voted dry" or have a moratorium on liquor licenses. Please contact the 47th Ward office if you believe your proposed business may be in one of these areas.

☹ Call Me Grumpy if you like.
Here I'm driving along, in lightly falling drizzle, on a long straight stretch of multi lane freeway, with nothing behind me.
I'm happily plodding along at 90km an hour, 20km below the posted 110 speed limit, when I come up behind a car in both lanes of the freeway, blocking my path, I normally don't worry about this, as one of the cars will obviously go faster, allowing me to overtake the other.
NO! that was not the case this time, BOTH sat on 70km an hour, and neither sped up, or slowed down for several kilometres, effectively blocking me, and there was a long que traffic that was starting to bank up behind me.
Have these guys ever heard of keeping to the left hand lane, unless overtaking. I Don't think so.
Sitting on 70km in a 110 zone blocking both lanes, is not what I think is a good thing, I know both drivers can argue they were not breaking the law, try TELLING THE TRUCKIE BEHIND ME THAT.
I'm sure he didn't mind sitting well below speed limit, waiting for me to pass these wonderful, and very safe Australian Drivers.
Eventually the driver in front of me must have woken up from his power nap, and did slowly pull away, leaving a big enough gap for me to pull into the left lane.
P.S. THE TRUCKIE that was following me, did get mighty close to the rear of this guy's car, and the car driver moved into my lane very fast.
So I happily got back up to my comfortable 90km, and not slowing any vehicles behind me.

Pink-headed Duck: The Search is On!
About four years ago I first wrote about the Pink-headed Duck, a charming species related to the pochards (although how, exactly, is up for grabs, like so much duck taxonomy.) Maybe they're extinct. Maybe they're not. Presumably, only the swamps and reedy rivers of Myanmar hold the answer.
Now Global Wildlife Conservation is out to get some fresh evidence and hopefully re-discover the species, which was officially last seen in the 1949. They'll survey local residents – who have other things to do with their days than upload sightings to eBird, and thus may prove an untapped well of knowledge – explore beyond the military checkpoints that hamper most travel in northern Myanmar, and even use elephants to explore in hopes of flushing the birds from cover rather than driving them deeper into it.
Co-sponsored by Bushnell and Charles Martell & Sons, this fascinating expedition is the first in a proposed series meant to track down species on the critically endangered/extinct border in the hopes that they, and their remaining habitats, can be protected. Members of the expedition – which include Richard Thorns, Errol Fuller, Pilar Bueno, and John Hodges – will update the world through a blog over the coming months. I can't tell you how excited I am about this, and I wish them all the best of luck.

Q: Caching not working on production I use Cache from System.Web.Caching to cache some data from database. And when I run application on local machine from Visual Studio it works fine.
But when I run it on production on IIS I get Null pointer exception at this line:

             DateTime.Now.AddDays(7), Cache.NoSlidingExpiration,
             CacheItemPriority.Default, PostnumberRemovedCallback);

I checked cache, postnumbers and dependency and they are not null. Anyone knows what can cause this problem?

Law Society opens nominations for excellence awards
Categories: Children, Divorce & Separation, Domestic Abuse, Featured News, General, Grandparents, Hartnell Chanot Blog, International Cases, Mediation & Collaboration, News
Posted by The Family Law Company on 12th March 2014
The Law Society has opened the nominations for its annual excellence awards.
As solicitors in Plymouth and Exeter we keep a close eye on the awards each year, and will be watching with interest when they take place in October at a glitzy London ceremony.
The society, the independent professional body for law professionals, was established in 1825, making it a prestigious body and a long standing authority on all legal matters.
After receiving a record number of entries last year the society is expecting interest to again be high and a spokesman has gone on the record to say judges will face a round of difficult decisions in what's expected to be the fiercest competition the awards have ever seen.
In a press release Law Society president Nicholas Fluck said: "The uniqueness of the Excellence Awards is in its recognition of outstanding people across the entire legal profession, from a sole practitioner on the high street to a managing partner in a top100 firm."
Mr Fluck added how we would urge members of the legal profession across England and Wales to be bold in coming forward and making plenty of nominations.
"We've seen some amazing talent since the first awards in 2007" he said, "but we know there are many more talented individuals out there."
This year's Excellence Awards will see lawyers, barristers and solicitors celebrate the best work of individual solicitors as well as the successes and innovations of practices and firms, large and small.
Some of the firm categories include Excellence in Pro Bono, Client Service, Marketing and Communications and Diversity and Inclusion, while individual categories include, Solicitor Advocate of the Year, Junior Lawyer of the Year, and the Law Society Gazette Legal Personality of the Year.

Aniwriter Update #7: This Week in Anime and Other Changes
November 2, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 4 Comments
Welcome, weebs and authors alike, to another update.
The last two weeks have been a bit turbulent. I've had a lot of work to do, and some unpleasant memories from the past have kept me from sleeping as well as I would like. Even so, I want to continue giving you guys info about the blog, so here's everything for this update:
The Future of "This Week in Anime"
Some of you may have noticed that my return to form on The Aniwriter did not include any This Week in Anime segments. This is because in the weeks right before my break, I realized something: I wasn't having fun writing them anymore. And so, I have decided that I will, for the time being at least, put the series on hold. If I decide to bring it back in the future I will let you know.
A Lack of Drive
Recently, I have had little motivation to watch much anime, and I am unsure what to do about it. Every time I go to watch something new I just decide to waste time scrolling through social media or organize something instead, and I'm not sure why. It's not the first time it's happened. For much of my Freshman and Sophomore Year of high school, I found myself not wanting to watch a lot of anime.
The point being, I apologize if this affects the amount of posts coming out, but I will try and make sure it doesn't.
And that's it for this update. I thought I would have more for you, but there isn't actually a whole lot going on with me recently other than getting ready for the end of the semester.
What have you guys been up to lately? Let me know in the comments below. Also, if you want to support the Aniwriter through donations or are just feeling generous, consider buying me a coffee on Ko-Fi. Otherwise, thanks for reading and bye for now, Friendos!

This Week in Anime: Tokyo Ghoul, SSSS.GRIDMAN, and More…
September 13, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 4 Comments
Welcome, weebs and authors alike, to The Aniwriter
Another week, more news. Let's get started.
Tokyo Ghoul:re Season 2 Premieres October 9th
It was announced earlier this week on Sunday that the second season of Tokyo Ghoul:re that is airing this season will start airing on October 9th. The season will be continuing the show which initially aired its first season earlier this year.
Also, this week came a new PV for the show's second season which details some of the story in the upcoming episodes. The trailer shows what looks to be more of Kaneki's conflict with his identity, and where he wants to be within society.
Russian State Media Outlet Releases False Information About Anime
In a report from the Russian State Media Outlet, the agency claimed that among other things, Anime is responsible for children having "suicidal thoughts." It also claimed that anime would make them "rebel against their parents," and that kids would be "inclined towards homosexuality."
The article goes on to document the stories of a few different parents who say their kids have been adversely affected by anime. Despite that, the article does not cite any sources for their claims other than the support of a woman named Elena Ivanova.
The article was released last week, and according to the view count at the top of the page, has been viewed over 140,000 times.
New Anime SSSS.GRIDMAN to Air this Fall

The show is a reboot of an anime that aired between 1993 and 1994 and was produced by Tsuburaya Productions.

This Week in Anime: Article Shout-Out Edition #3
September 6, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 12 Comments
Welcome, weebs and authors alike, to The Aniwriter.
Every so often I take a break from talking about the news to dedicate more time to look at the awesome stuff being written by fellow bloggers and internet writers alike, and this week is another such week. So, without further ado, here are some awesome articles you should read from the past week.
Am I a Top 5 Aniblogger?!
Irina from I drink and watch anime wrote a pretty funny post about the different types of anime bloggers in the community. I'm not sure exactly which one I fall into, but I could definitely fit some other bloggers into her categories. Either way, It was still a great read. I would highly recommend you read it.
Made in Abyss is an Awesome Adventure
Lethargic Ramblings posted a great write-up of their personal experience with one of 2017's break-out hits: Made in Abyss. They talk about how initially they weren't particularly fond of it but have very much changed their minds. Go ahead and give it a read.
Should I be Watching Takagi-san?
Jon Spencer of Jon Spencer reviews wrote a mini-review of the 2018 slice of life comedy series, and it is well written to be sure. He keeps it short, pointing out some of the best aspects of the show. Even if you don't end up watching it, go ahead and give the review a read.
Gosick is pretty cool
Irina also had an awesome review of the anime series Gosick this week. It's a BONES production which came out in 2011 eleven and is a relatively obscure series. Irina does a great job of talking about everything in the show, from its visual style to its narrative structure. Check it out.
Our Cells Sure are at Work
Scott from Mechanical Anime Reviews had a more personal post this week in the form of a discussion around Cells at Work! In the post, he talks about some personal stories that relate to the inner workings of our bodies. Some are funny, some are a bit more serious. All are fantastic reads.
Hitting Milestones
Finally, Biblionyan wrote a post about celebrating hitting 500 followers on her blog. They're doing a Q & A plus a giveaway for those who comment on the post. They've written great stuff in the past, so be sure to check them out and show some love.

This Week in Anime: Live-Action Bleach, InkyPen, and More…
I'll be honest, this week was a lot more interesting for me than the last few weeks. Sure, we got some new anime releases, and as always people writing some awesome stuff, but a lot of interesting things have been announced this week, and I'm just generally excited about what's to come.
Here's what's new when it comes to shows.
Shonen-Jump Rom-Com "We Never Learn" Gets TV Anime
Source: Goboiano.com
On Monday, the official website and Twitter account for the TV anime "We Never Learn" Announced new details about the project. Among these new details are the director of the show, who will be Yoshiaki Iwasaki(The Familiar of Zero, Love Hina). It was also revealed that the screenwriter will be Go Zappa, who screen wrote "Chronicles of the Going Home Club" and that Masakatsu Sasaki will be the character designer. Sasaki has previously done character designs for "Saki" and "A-Channel"
The show's story will follow a well-educated boy hoping to successfully tutor two girls in order to get them scholarships. The only problem is that the two girls want to study outside of their talents. One is a science nerd who wants to study Liberal Arts, and the other is a reader who wants to be a scientist.
Fairytail Website Releases PV for Upcoming Series Finale
The official website for the Fairytail Anime released a Promotional Video for the final season of the fairytail anime. The video, shown above, gives small details about the new series, like character costumes and a glimpse of the actual story, among a cut of action scenes from the show.
Simultaneously, the site also released promotional art for the next season. The art depicts Natsu and Zeref, two characters who, in the last season, were revealed to be related.
The series is slated for a release this fall, with the first episode being released in October.
Bleach Live Action Movie Coming to Netflix
In a video that came out last week, Netflix announced their list of new arrivals for September. The most interesting reveal on that list? Bleach. According to the list, the live-action adaptation of bleach that was released in Japanese theatres earlier this year will be coming state-side. The movie will be released on Netflix on September 14th, according to the same video.
The live action movie covers the first major arc of the Bleach manga, known as the Substitute Shinigami Arc, because of its focus on the main character Ichigo Kurosaki.
New Service "InkyPen" Coming to Nintendo Switch
A new service called "InkyPen" recently announced that they would be available on the Nintendo Switch. The service is, surprisingly enough, a comic streaming service. As they write on their website, "InkyPen allows you to read thousands of comics from a wide selection of publishers and artists on Nintendo Switch. All content is available upon subscription, no premiums, no piecemeal content."
This information is also interesting for another reason: the service seems to only be available on the Nintendo Switch. According to the Press Kit available on their website, The Switch is the only device on which the service is accessible.
The Price per month will be 7.99, and will give readers access to over 10,000 different comics and graphic novels, including many different manga series.
Article Shoutouts
Here are so awesome articles from around the web this week.
What's up with Crunchyroll?
Scott from Mechanical Anime Reviews gives a bit more of a sober take on the recent debacle surrounding Crunchyroll, including their first-ever original series "High Guardian Spice." Short, but definitely well written. Go ahead and give it a read.
Japanese Literature?
Over on BiblioNyan, there is a great article about 5 books for newbs when it comes to Japanese books. I've definitely been more interested in reading Japanese literature, and the books they describe definitely sound awesome. Check it out.

This Week in Anime: Shout-Out Edition #2
August 9, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 6 Comments
Its been a pretty slow week in interesting anime related news, so I thought I would make this week another week of blogger shout-outs. I will mention it briefly because I know its a popular series: A Certain Magical Index Season 3's release date has been confirmed, which you can read about here.
Aside from that, however, there is a ton of stuff I want to give some recognition, so let's get started.
Create-a-Story Tag
Some of you might have seen the one tag in particular that has been making the rounds in the aniblogging community as of late, and that would be the create a story tag, which was created by Keiko.
There were a lot of bloggers, including myself, who took part in the tag over the last week, so here are the ones I thought were super cool.
100WordAnime – A fun little story about a couple falling down a cliff.
Mechanical Anime Reviews – A more slice of life centered story about a future couple in the making and their experience in the science building.
A Nerdy Perspective – A guy walks into another guy's cabin, and the two have an honest conversation about their feelings for one another.
Maquia and Late Blooming
This is cheating a bit since this was from last week, but I never got the chance to give it a shout-out, so I'm doing it now. appropriant of Perpetual Morning did a wonderful essay talking about both themselves and Maquia. It was an extremely relatable piece for me. I highly suggest you give it a read.
Names are Important
Irina of I drink and watch anime wrote an awesome and somewhat more personal post about the importance of names in anime and how that is brought about by Japanese culture. Super interesting read, definitely check it out.

This Week in Anime: My Hero Academia, Overlord, and More…
I've been trying to get back into the swing of things and get back on a consistent schedule, but that has been a bit difficult, mostly due to my own laziness. However, even though this is coming out a little late again, I do plan on getting back to giving you your weekly dose of anime news on Thursday once again. Apologies again for the inconsistency, and I hope you all will continue reading. Now, without further ado, here we go.
Here are some of the new anime that will be coming out in the future.
"Karakuri Circus" Gets Anime This Fall
From the mangaka of Ushio to Tora, Karakuri circus will be taking center stage this Fall season. It was announced this week that Kazuhiro Fujita's second work after Ushio to Tora will be getting an anime adaptation. The show will reportedly have 36 episodes and will be animated by Studio VOLN, who also produced the anime version of Ushio to Tora.
The story follows a young boy who wants to be a puppeteer. However, is life gets crazy after strange people start targeting him. He eventually inherits 18 Billion Yen from his dad and then runs into some people who agree to protect him.
Kyoto Animation Announces "20th Century Electricity Catalog" Anime
【特報① 新刊発売】
ついに第8回京アニ大賞奨励賞受賞作品『二十世紀電氣目録』が8/10(金)に発売決定!
詳しい作品内容は本日公開の公式HPをチェック☆https://t.co/ezQ3ggZKtJ#KAエスマ文庫#でんもく#明治 #夏 #京都 pic.twitter.com/fctJ0IOQFa
— KAエスマ文庫編集部 (@KA_esuma) July 27, 2018
In a tweet from their Esma Bunko Editorial Department, Kyo-Ani announced their newest anime project: "20th Century Electricity Catalog." The show will be a bit of new territory for the studio, as it will be their first ever historical fiction series. The story will be based on the novel by Hiro Yuki, who won an honorable mention at the company's Kyoto Animation Awards.
The story is set during 1907 in Fushima, where Inako and her father, a famous brewer, live a very traditional life. One day, while visiting a shine, Inako meets Kihachi, a boy who is the polar opposite of traditional. When it comes time for Inako to get married, all she can think about is Kihachi, and just before her arranged marriage, Kihachi comes to rescue Inako and take her away.
"Overlord" Gets New RPG Game
In a new release using the RPG Maker software, "Overlord" now has a new game out. The game focuses Ainz and Nabe and their quest to get to Adamantine class adventurers. The game is currently available on Windows, MAC, and online browsers, and, as of writing this article, has two playable parts with more available in the future. The RPG Maker software has also been used to make other games such as Angels of Death, which has anime adaptation that is currently airing in the Summer 2018 season.
Some weekly shoutouts for cool articles and awesome blogger friends.
My Hero Academia and Western Comics
Jennifer Hackett, a staff writer for Crunchyroll, wrote about the difference between My Hero Academia and western superhero comics. In her piece, she explains how fundamentally different the view on identity is between the west and MHA, and how that affects the stories. A fascinating read, to be sure. Check it out.
Butterfly Soup?
I've always loved reading articles from The Afictionado, largely because, as someone who is not in anyway apart of the LGBTQ community, her articles focusing on pop culture and LGBTQ representation are always insightful. Her review of the visual novel Butterfly soup is no different. For only being four hours long, she manages to go very in-depth about the game without giving away much in plot. Even if you're not interested in the game, I would highly recommend reading her thoughts.
March Comes in Like a Lion and Mentors
Lastly, I had to share an OWLS post from a fellow member and unofficial member of the March Comes in Like a Lion Fanclub, Karandi. Karandi's piece on the various mentor-like figures in March Comes in Like a Lion is very insightful, and I would highly recommend checking it out.

This Week in Anime: Shout-Out Edition
July 20, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 10 Comments
Most of the time on This Week in Anime I will go through news stories and talk about the most important ones of the week. Recently, I started giving shoutouts to other bloggers and articles that I found cool or worth a read. This week, I decided to do that but on a bigger scale by making this week's This Week in Anime a Shout-out edition. This time, instead of covering news stories, I want to give full attention to some of the other great articles I read this week.
Also, apologies again that this is coming out a day late.
Does Anime Have a Moral Responsibility
Irina from I drink and watch anime poses a serious question about the responsibility of anime, and media more generally speaking, to deliver morally sound content to audiences. Definitely an interesting topic of discussion and one that I am sure many would like to participate in.
Mentorship in K
Fellow OWLS blogger Mel decided to write their post this month on K. In it, they talk about the various Mentor-like relationships that exist in K. If you like the series at all, I would highly suggest giving it a read.
A Reaction to Angels of Death
Ang of CouchCruisin' gave her reaction to one of Summer 2018's more talked about series, Angels of Death. While I personally still have more of an optimistic view about the series, at least as of episode two, I can understand where she is coming from. Go and give it a read.
A Harukana Receive and Hanebado! Comparison
Scott from Mechanical Anime Reviews broke down two of Summer 2018's other shows, both with very similar premises but very different executions. You should absolutely give it a read as well.

This Week in Anime: Aggretsuko, Princess Mononoke, and More…
July 12, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 9 Comments
Hello again, friends!
Sorry I missed last week. I was planning on releasing it a day late after I had settled in from my trip to Anime Midwest. Btw, I went to Anime Midwest. I never actually made an update about that, so I apologize about that as well. Anyway, without further ado, your weekly dose of anime-related news.
Here are the new announcements for this week.
Aggretsuko Receives Second Season
At a panel during Anime Expo 2018, Netflix announced that one of their more popular shows, Aggretsuko, will be receiving a second season. The announcement was made during their NETFLIX ANIME panel, where they also talked about the release date of Castlevania season 2. The show will be released sometime in 2019
Aggretsuko's story follows an Anthropomorphic Red Panda named Retsuko, who works at a terrible desk job that she hates more than anything else. In order to get rid of her anger, she goes to Karaoke and sings Death Metal.
Netflix's Ultraman Adaptation to be Released in 2019
Along Aggretsuko and others, the newest incarnation of a much older series Ultraman will be coming to Netflix next year. The show is based on the Manga by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimiguchi in 1967. A specific release date has not yet been confirmed, but it will be a worldwide release so there will be no delays.
Ultraman follows Shinjiro, a normal teen living his normal teen life when all of sudden he gets blessed with incredible powers. The "Ultraman Factor" as its called, awakens within him, and he must now use his powers to protect the earth.
Studio Trigger Becomes the First Studio to Use Patreon
This Week, Studio Trigger, creators of shows such as Kill La Kill and Little Witch Academia, has launched their very own Patreon. The Page already has over 2,500 supporters and the studio is now receiving over 8000 dollars a month. On the studio's page, they say that Trigger "strives for a global audience and values communications with our fans."
It is no secret that animation studios often have very little money to finance new projects so it would make sense to set up a Patreon page. As their page further describes, "With your support, we would like to forward funds into various aspect of the studio. Possibly a new line of merchandise, attending/conducting more events, or simply providing a little more to our staff."
Many in the anime community, including prominent Anime YouTuber Digibro, argued that studios should move to a more people focused business model and rely more on services like Patreon.
Princess Mononoke to Return to Theatres for Select Screenings
As part of the 2018 Studio Ghibli Fest, one of the groups most famous works, Princess Mononoke, will be airing in theatres once again for a small period of time. Both GKIDS and Fathom Events will be sponsoring three dates on which the film will premiere: Sunday, July 22, 12:55 Local time, Monday, July 23, 7:00 Local time, and Wednesday, July 25, 7:00 Local Time.
Here are so Articles you should definitely read.
A Better Anime Awards?!
Ayano of KawaiiPaperPandas is collaborating with Raistlin on a new project that has been tenuously named the WordPress Anime Awards. After much anger at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards last year, she and Raistlin decided that it was time to start their own.
Anime That Ruin Childhood Dreams
Scott of Mechanical Anime Reviews put out a list of series that on the surface look innocent, but are actually quite terrifying. Many series like this look like this because of the aesthetic quality of anime production, but that doesn't mean they won't be truly horrifying. A great list and an article you should definitely give a read.

This Week in Anime: Konosuba, Golden Kamuy, and More…
June 29, 2018 Jack Scheibelein 5 Comments
Sorry, this is coming out a day late, I was feeling a bit distracted and not really in a mood to write. Some painful memories recently got stirred up again and it put me in a really weird place, but now I am ok again. Anyway, on to this week's news
A list of new anime announcements:
Golden Kamuy Season 2 Will Air in the Fall
It has now been officially announced that the popular manga turned spring 2018 anime adaptation will now be receiving another season. The show will reportedly be airing in the fall season of this year, and will have all of the staff return to work on the show, as well as again being animated by Studio Geno.
Golden Kamuy centers around Sugimoto, a Russo-Japanese war veteran who, after finding out his friends wife will soon go blind, heads out on a mission to find a hidden treasure that will help him get her the medicine he needs. Along the way, he meets up with various dangerous individuals who also happen to be looking for the treasure.
Kadokawa Releases Trailer for Overlord Season 3
On top of a few promotional images, Kadokawa has now also officially released a trailer for the widely popular Overlord series.
The trailer highlights some of the upcoming plot points of the new season, as well as displaying some of the grittiness the show is well known for. The show's third season will be produced by Madhouse, and Satoshi Hino will be returning to voice the show's main character.
Overlord takes place in the world of an MMORPG that is set to shut down. After a player refuses to log out of the game, he finds that many of the world's NPCs take on personalities of their own.
Konosuba to Receive Full-Length Film
Fans of the instant hit parody series Konosuba will be pleased to find out that the series will be receiving a full-length feature film sometime in the future. Many details about the show's production are not yet known as of the writing of this piece, but it has been confirmed that the show will have a shift in studios, as J.C. Staff will be taking over for Studio Deen.
Konosuba's story follows Kazuma, a NEET who, after dying from shock, is given a chance to be reborn by the goddess Aqua, who he requests comes with him as he starts his new life in another world.
Hiro Mashima Reveals New Fairytail Spinoff Manga
After a slew of announcements from Mangaka Hiro Mashima earlier this year about future projects, including one about his newest Manga Eden's Zero, Mashima has now revealed one of the destinies of his hit series Fairytail. Mashima announced this week the name of one of the new fairytail spinoff's that he has planned for the future, that being Fairytail Hero City. Details about the specific story have yet to be released, but reportedly, the manga will be out sometime this fall.
For this week, I'll admit that I really haven't read that many blog posts or articles because of my slump, but I do want to give a shoutout to my fellow OWLS members who had blog posts this week. So here are the links to those:

This Week in Anime: Megalo Box Soundtrack, FLCL Behind the Scenes, and More…
May 17, 2018 Jack Scheibelein Leave a comment
A lot has happened over the last week, most of it pretty light-hearted.
Welcome back, everyone. For today's This Week in Anime, there is going to be a lot of cool stuff to cover, so let's get started.
Megalo Box Soundtrack to be Released in June
Source: Crunchyroll.com
It was recently announced that the soundtrack to the recent hit Megalo Box, a show inspired by the 50th anniversary of the critically acclaimed manga Ashita no Joe, will be released in June. The soundtrack includes a collection of 47 tracks from the show, with songs from Japanese artists, including the Yasei Collective, COMA-CHI, and DJ Baku. Another version will be available that includes 12 additional tracks, totaling 59. The full soundtrack will be released sometime in June
If I were to pick the best soundtrack from the Spring 2018 anime season, it would hands down be Megabox. Its mix of 90s inspired hip-hop and classic rock does a great job at elevating the hype every time I watch it. Out of all of the anime soundtracks that I have come across, there have only ever been a few that made me think, "I would be totally ok with paying money to listen to this." Before Megalo Box, it was Hyouka, Terror in Resonance, Phi Brain, and Jormungund. Now, Megalo Box is definitely on that list.
FLCL Releases a Behind the Scenes Video of English Dub Production
On Saturday, Adult Swin released a behind the scenes video for the upcoming sequels to the original Fooly Cooly, FLCL Progressive and FLCL Alternative. The video contains interviews with each of the main cast of the upcoming series', including Kari Wahlgreen, who is playing Haruko, and who also played her in the original series.
Other members of the cast include Xanthe Huynh, who will be playing Hidomi, Ray Chase as Handa, and Steve Blum as Yoga. The first of the show's sequels, FLCL Progressive, will be released starting on June 2nd, and Alternative will be released sometime in September.
As someone who enjoyed the original FLCL a lot, I can only hope that these sequels live up to the hype. Reading some interviews from the past couple of months, it very much sounded like a lot of the people involved in the project did not really want to create it. However, at least on the production side, Production I.G. has always been a reliable source of quality, so there is a bit of hope there. Hopefully, that will translate into some fun sequels.
Hiro Mashima Unveils New Secret Project
新連載>FT>〇〇、この三つを頭を切り替えながら進めている。流石に少し混乱してくるが、新連載が新しい世界すぎて次から次へとアイデアが出てくるのだ!〇〇はまだ秘密。
— 真島ヒロ (@hiro_mashima) May 14, 2018
On Monday, Hiro Mashima unveiled on Twitter that he was working on a new project, despite already working on two other projects. According to Mashima's tweet, "We are moving forward with three switching heads." That part refers to both the series finale for Fairytail and another new project that will be released in the summer.
Fairytail was my initial introduction to Mashima, but I would be lying if I said I had done much exploration of his work other than that. Still, seeing all of this new work from him does make me excited, especially with the free time I'll have this summer.

As an entrepreneur, starting your own business would essentially make you a CEO. To become a CEO, focus less on the degree and more on your personality/characteristics. A strong work ethic, great networking skills, and overall likability will improve your chances of climbing the corporate ladder.
A degree from an Ivy League school can help, but still, the person makes the CEO, not the certificate.
I do 100% support you going for school, so long as your studies do not stifle your personal and professional growth.
Learn leadership and team building...develop others...just get started.
The link I provided will get you in touch with today's TOP online marketers which is the future of all business!
I see you have an idea so learning to build teams is vital!
Hire a professional coach to help you achieve your dreams!
As far as an entrepreneurship certificate/degree, I don't think formal training in entrepreneurship is necessary. You can pick up most of the same lessons from a general business degree, or from taking entrepreneurship workshops. Some suggestions for becoming an entrepreneurial CEO one day are: a) work for a start-up, b) hang around other people who are passionate about start-ups, and c) start up something yourself.


A year ago at this time, I recall being stumped by several things that were happening, all "bad" experiences with "good" outcomes. It can be confusing.
I struggled with this. A lot.
Partly because I wasn't sure the job seeker was the best fit either, but mostly because the other person's motivation and actions were so overblown. And they were getting away with it! I couldn't figure out why someone would go this far in their efforts to destroy not only someone else's plans for their life, but their entire reputation. To quote my friend Bridget, "That's just wrong."
And then the person who eventually ended up in the job turned into pretty much a perfect hire. Better than the original job seeker. Go figure.
Several other topsy-turvy things happened around this same time. Random events with no logical explanation. Things that were difficult to sort out, but all with good outcomes. What I had the most difficulty dealing with was my own emotional reaction to everything. I didn't settle down until I finally realized that these were just relational "pop quizzes" that didn't require my involvement, or even a response from me!
So, next time you find yourself thinking, "This shouldn't be happening," try waiting it out. Watch and trust. Do the next right thing. Go ahead and defend someone if you're called on to do that. And maybe you'll begin to learn what I, too, have been learning, which is. . .I don't have to impose my will on absolutely everything, after all.
Awesome entry. But I have one major question that rises to the surface as I read this.
"Watch and trust." Is there a secret to this? I have had other people say their shortcoming in a difficult time in life, is that he/she was not trusting God. It's one thing to realize this...it's another thing to have the courage to let go and trust God. Is there a secret to this?
It's not always easy, Barb. I think it comes with practice. . .at letting go of having the first word/last word in a situation. Letting go of thinking you know what's best, or you have "the answer." I think that's hard when you are a take charge person, or a particularly proficient person.
I try to pull back, seek God, listen to my body; and seek a sense of peace on a deeper level. Sometimes clarity comes out of that, and wisdom.
