Mya - Chapter 1 (Version 5.0)
I've said in the past that writing is like sculpting: you start with a completely misshapen rock (your idea or concept), and every second until the final chip of rock is removed, the piece is unfinished, and essentially unacceptable. I like that analogy, but it's not entirely accurate; or, at least, not accurate to my experience with my first novel and with my second project.
I'm presenting here Chapter 1 of my second long-form project, Mya. I call it Version 5.0, 'cause I probably had at least 5 versions of the chapter that are so radically different from one another as to seem like completely different stories. This is why the sculpture comparison doesn't really work (for me) -- more accurately, I start with a misshapen clay, I start to mold it, and am continually either adding more material, entirely rearranging the parts, or sometimes scrapping it altogether to start over.
(Okay, I'm not a sculptor, so this may very well describe sculpting as well, but the simplicity of the original analogy is broken).
Anyhow. Below is the newest iteration of a rough, unediting, unproofed, and very-likely-to-change-drastically Chapter 1 of my second project, Mya. Hope you enjoy.
I'm getting old. Older, maybe—because what's "old"?—but there's a certain line where nothing seems to have changed, but the entire world is different. I crossed this line sometime in the past five years. It was a quick five years. And unlike every sunny day from when I was young, the memories from the past five years seem impossible to find, like finding the right face in a roomful of skulls. My gift of years is not wisdom, either, but a mind full of slipperyuncertainty, in which I'm drowning invisibly on my way to my toothier grin, when I'm even uglier than I'll be in the ground. All I seem to wish for these days—in those quiet moments with no distraction available—is that I win a lesser good and a memory with as much tongue as will ever die on the tips of these syllables.
How morbidly I feel. Like a pendulum, the Sword of Damocles, hovering, its tip carving lines into my face, dipping into each organ until it finds its ingress into my heart. And then I'll rest, a statue to inevitability. Over the past five years, how many times have I seen myself die? Seen the mask and disgusting suit on my body that still thinks it's young? It once was, and I can't let it go. How many times have I killed myself, pulled myself onto the sword? Far more times than I've been strong or resilient, I admit. I imagine I'm slowly cracking and twisting until the sword need barely nick at my veins. I've lost count of these images. Not that it matters; I no longer believe my story is even about me. My eyes are for other peoples' relevance, and from the seat of my apathy, their posterity.
It's no wonder how I ended up here, speaking such things to myself. I can trace it back, step by step, like following breadcrumbs backwards to the first time I saw my wife. We were in college, and I was compelled to speak to her because of what she had written on her page, "Temporis Destruit Omne – Time destroys everything", like a prophecy. Now that she's dead, I struggle with her face, the sound of her voice, the memory of when I could still run my hands through her black hair, brush her pale cheeks and stare into her dark eyes; when I could lay with her and watch the smoke swirl against our window, and nothing existed beyond the diameter of our arms. Moments like those were even more beautiful for how my mind embellished them. When we were young, these perfect moments were like a lane of cherry blossoms bobbing around our heads as thick as snow—and when she lay dying, her eyes were confused by my face—one by one, each of these memories were plucked. Perhaps somewhere they exist still—some would say they do—but for me, they're just ghosts. And they haunt me the way I once haunted them.
Ultimately, that's how I've come to be on this train, watching the landscape go from green to brown to grey, slowly infected by the approaching city. My psychiatrist had suggested tropical, but I've chosen the city instead. The ancient edifices of the college and its bleak, unchanging streets were once like the dark heart and veins for my spoilt memories—which means, of course, they are integral to my sadness.
For hours the train had wheezed and rumbled aggressively down the track—the noise and vibration somewhere below my consciousness—but my thoughts were interrupted by a sudden and atypical tremble in my seat. The train then shook more forcefully, and something akin to muscle-memory guided my hands onto the armrests. The pressure against my back indicated the change in speed, confirmed by the wheels squealing to a halt, audible even from within the car. With the danger apparently averted, my fellow travelers looked around at each other with relief and nervous laughter while the crackling intercom explained, in the vaguest terms possible, that there was some sort of commotion in the city ahead that was blocking the tracks. There would be a potentially significant delay. I sighed audibly, as if wanting someone to hear me, but the only one close enough—a woman directly in front of me—showed no reaction.
On the side opposite of my left-hand seat, there was little to see: a hygienic suburb girdedby clean and obtrusive big box stores. On the other side, though, was a rougher borough that began with a line of old apartment buildings. I could just make out individual figures on the fire escapes of the old buildings, gathering on their landing and staring toward whatever circumstance affected the city. I noted the dark-haired woman in front of me seemed to be staring at these individuals, as well.
My eyes rested on her. She was ignoring everything else around her, showing no alarm, surprise, or irritation at our delay. She had black hair hanging straight, covering half of her profile. There was something wistful in her eye. A fond memory, with maybe a tinge of regret? That's what I wanted to see there—that's what I wanted to see everywhere. She was perhaps forty, around my age, and her dark eyes were shifting with interest back and forth across the dilapidated buildings.
I followed her gaze through the window of the train—so close to the city I could see the edge of its ancient walls—across the reeds and grass poking through the snow, over the short, neglected slats of the fence, which neither contained nor excluded and marked no division, to the foot of one of the buildings: a run-down, six storey walkup. It looked decrepit, built sometime in the 30s or 40s maybe—just old enough to have escaped the dark ages of architecture from the 60s to the 90s. In this regard, I found the building's dilapidation quaint and full of character—the sort of thing you only discover as you're moving in and putting up posters, rather than something your realtor seeks out. The freshest coat of paint on the walls—blue—isn't that fresh and has begun chipping away, exposing sections of red, which itself has chipped to reveal yellow paint, and so on down to the plain grey wood from which the building was built, rebuilt, and girded for 60 years. Together, the buildings look like dull Jackson Pollack paintings, lined up at varying angles, heights, and compositions. The building upon which I landed was ultimately unremarkable amongst them, had four apartments per floor, each with stairs outside the buildingto each landing, as well as narrow halls and a stairway inside.
The evening sun has brought out each colour of the paint, and flashes off the windows like morse code, lulling a viewer into its evocative deterioration—the sort of wear you can almost hear by seeing it. At that moment, a young woman was taking her oblivious steps up the outside stairs, the precarious creaks accompanying the picture perfectly, and the wind speaking through each uncertain angle and broken step of the stairway.
Mya had straight dark hair that waved upon her high cheekbones with each step on the stairs. Her skin was naturally pale, and accentuated by her slightly dolorous preference of makeup that surrounded her eyes. Her lips were naturally full, coloured dark, and her cheek and jaw were smooth and pleasantly shaped down to her long neck. She was the sort of girl who grew into her beauty late, and whose bitter experiences beforehand caused her to absently discourage it once it arrived. It would nevertheless age well on her—if she continued to age. With each step up the stairs, her dark plaid skirt swished around her legs just above her long black socks. Tucked into the skirt was an obscure band t-shirt with an abstract, spiky logo. She didn't quite stand out, but she didn't quite "fit in".
The sunlight that made the buildings eye-catching from the train was slowly fading behind them. Mya had attended only twenty minutes of the new student orientation before realizing that they were simply providing the same information they had already provided in print. She had decided that anything other than that, she didn't currently care to know. Her departure was preceded—and to some degree precipitated—by the realization that, while she had spent a few years after high school traveling and painting, the rest of the group looked and acted too much the teenagers they were.
So, with dusk and the shadow of the building welcoming her home, she made her way back-and-forth up the outside stairs to her fourth floor apartment, which creaked even at her slight steps. As she was passing the second floor landing, she nearly bumped into a young man who was climbing out of the window of the west corner apartment—this was me, Colin. I was tall and broad, like an athlete, except I had a bit of an unattractive paunch at the time. Otherwise average, but bordering on handsome, I had brown eyes and hair, thick cheekbones that curved into my perfectly average chin. I knew that I had made no impression on her except that I looked like I was either robbing the apartment I stepped from, or maybe that I was simply an idiot. Mya had such a deep stare that it was easy to feel inadequately considered under it. I did, however,manage to stammer an unsolicited explanation:
"The door, it's jammed shut, so I was, uh…" As I tried to explain to her, water damage had jammed my door shut, perhaps permanently, and I had seen something through the window of which I was interested in a less obstructed view.
After her lingering glance, Mya continued by without acknowledging me or myexplanation.
"I'm Colin." I hurriedly added to the back of her head as she continued up the stairs to her apartment. She didn't intend to be rude or impolite exactly—rather, like the college's orientation, she simply didn't bother with things that wouldn't matter, which is the category I fell into that evening.
As she reached the top step of her fourth floor landing, something caught her eye in the distance over the old city. A small bright spot and a black pillar rising above it. Somewhere amongst the stodgy old buildings, there was a fire. She could see the thin pillar of smoke forming, black at the bottom and twisting into grey then disappearing into the clouds. It was barely a line in the distance, but she could see the plume twisting strangely, like a column of ghosts making despairing faces at the city around it.
Still watching the smoke rise, Mya felt suddenly colder. She stepped closer to the railing and rubbed her arms. With the sun behind the building, and sudden saucer of thick cloud over the old city, it seemed even dimmer than a few minutes prior. On the other side of the sky, above the old city, an apparition of the moon had appeared. Falling behind the new cloud, it looked like it was covered by a sheer fabric, like an illusion of itself: there but not. This was regret.
Mya's stomach bumped against the railing near her door—she realized suddenly she had continued walking toward the edge. She looked down at the sharp drop it would have taken had the staircase been as unstable as it sounded. Looking down, she saw my head poke out from myown landing as I stared off in the same direction as she. I had stepped into the rail in much the same manner. Mya saw me look back and forth, then up toward her. Mya stepped back quickly, unlocked her door and entered her apartment.
In a building that old, Mya didn't think much of the strange smell when she moved in. She could hardly imagine the countless experiences absorbed into her floors—fights, blood, tears, births, maybe deaths? Either way, soon after her occupancy began, the smell was mostly overwhelmed by the smell of paint and turpentine. She also found it essential to similarly drown out the noise with her stereo, as the walls were extremely thin. She frequently overheard conversations and other loud disturbances. Since she had moved in, she had already overheard a man and woman's particularly loud argument, which precipitated the slamming of a door, followed by another five minutes of wild screaming—presumably to an empty room. She couldalso hear the girl who lived on the other side of her. Her pitiable, desperate weeping—like a halting moan—was a nightly occurrence. Mya had never actually met her neighbours, but experiencing a single sense of their lives did not encourage her to seek an introduction.
Mya's apartment itself was small, and most people would consider it more of a bachelor suite, but it suited Mya well. From the inner hallway door, there was a short corridor that connected to a bathroom, then opened out into the living area and small kitchen. There was no proper bedroom, so she slept on a daybed that dominated the wall adjacent to her windows and balcony door. Otherwise, the furniture was sparse—just a short, narrow table for her stereo and a very small tube TV that saw little play. She wasn't a minimalist—she was an artist, and the floor was sometimes the best easel. She almost always had a large canvas in progress that occupiednearly her entire floorspace. Plus, in the corners, there were rows of finished paintings, and her chipped green walls were adorned by the few of which she wasn't entirely unhappy. Also dotting the floor were her implements: her brushes, knives, half-rolled tubes of paint, jars of turpentine, etcetera. It was either a miracle or a sixth sense that Mya never stepped on, through, or into any of it. Mya imagined that her careful steps through the clutter might look like a non-rhythmic interpretive dance.
She decided she would go to bed early that night, though there were many hours left with which she could still work—and normally would. However, the long, banal day of happy smiles and chipper college-life platitudes had exhausted her. She figured this happy-go-lucky hedonism would melt once her fellow students realized they had actual responsibilities.
Her bathroom was a typical sort of mess, featuring empty toilet paper rolls, an upended garbage, and an uncovered toothpaste tube. The only attempt at order in the room was the pill bottles, lined up carefully like soldiers at attention against the wall—or prisoners lined up for the firing squad. As she did every night, Mya hesitated for a brief moment, two sides of a discussion playing out in a split second, before studiously tapping a pill into her hand and washing it down.
A few moments later she was lying on her daybed with her covers pulled up to her chest and her arms were folded above her head. Her eyes were wide—wider and less tired than at any point that evening—and she stared up at her ceiling, which was patterned with chipping paint and concentric circles of water damage that looked like targets after years of faulty plumbing and other accidents. She tried not to think about the story that the one red circle might tell.
As the pill she took was absorbed slowly into her stomach lining and entered her bloodstream, her wide eyed survey of her ceiling started to blur and within a few minutes of that, she fell asleep and into an unfortunately familiar dream. Part of the reason for the pill was to make her sleep entirely black, but that night the images found her again in that little moment of inevitability, which was like a smirk of time that was once wedged like a rock in her stomach. In reality, she experienced dreary months of infection, like roots spreading slowly through her body, followed by months of drearier treatments. But every time she dreamt, she entered one single moment of a single night.
It started with her boyfriend's face, mostly blurry, as he was on top of her. He was astypically oblivious as any high school boy, but he had rows of teeth like a shark inside his grin, and claws with which he grabbed and scraped at her, while his preternatural mass held her tight beneath him.
She could feel each drop of his sweat pattering against her face and body. She avoided looking, but she could gauge every awkward, sloppy thrust by its desperately uncomfortable, painful movement. They were in her childhood bedroom, not long after she had cleared out the childhood, so it was spartan for teenager's room—just a canopy bed, night table, desk, a Joy Division poster, and an easel with a half-finished painting on it that she never ever, in real life, had painted: it was something with wings and claws, lurching and crawling from the frames, its face black but eyes bright and focused so it could watch.
That was the scene, like the water upon which the boat sways. In the real life it mirrored, it was an experience not unlike the ritual replayed a million times over for squandered youth. The boy would finish his task, stammer an apology, then leave. For Mya's part, she was disengaged from the actual experience, and would catalogue it in a hundred different ways she could internalize and use in her art and her writing.
Though this scene was still a year from her diagnosis, at night, in her head, everything shifts. There's a blinding flash of pain in her stomach. Once. Then again, worse. She winces hard, which the boy crassly misinterprets as encouragement, his rows of fangs biting down on her shoulder and neck. Mya starts to get scared and the strangeness of the experience becomes apparent even in the dream. Yet, it wasn't the animal on top of her, clawing at her, nor the demonic figure stretching at her from the painting that caused her alarm. Her dreaming mind tried to calm her features: the pain was nothing, it had happened a few times before, but it was nothing, just gas, bloating, anything and everything that would just go away. Three, four, then five times the pain repeated, growing more intense and welling up inside of her like a dam had burst. With a frantic and vicious flail, she threw the monster off of her.
"We're not done!" he exclaimed, his voice lowering to a growl as Mya left.
Doubled over, Mya stumbled out of the room to the bathroom. Her knees slammed down hard in front of the toilet as she violently expelled the contents of her stomach, once then again and again. The water in the bowl slowly became thick and deeply red. Finally finished, she stared at herself staring at her blood, and behind her the two monsters crept blackly into the bathroom behind her, their claws like four arms of the same beast, reaching, reaching for her.

The question is does anyone know of adapting of controller to vary the speed of the motor from the full 12 volts ? Even another slower speed would be fine.
I was wondering if a earlier model Holden might have a wiper controller that could be adapted ?
Or one of those DIY intermitant wiper kits ?
I recently bought a Hella wiper dwell switch.
It was a bit more expensive than I remember seeing them in shops like Marlows or Goodies year and years ago. Cost me over a hunge if I remember correctly.
I haven't installed it yet but I really needed one and will fit it up soon.
Since the wiper action on older cars often isn't as nice as newer cars my wipers are a pain especially when it's only drizzling rather than pi$$ing down.
Could get you the part number if you like.
Holden VKs have a dwell control on the dash that is seperate to the stalk mounted on/off wiper switch. I'm sure one of these can be made to fit within the OE wiring.
The Gibson guitar tone/volume knob idea is just killer Gav.
I wonder if there's a Spinal Tap version that goes up to 11?

Yeah but have you seen the huge controller the VK's have? Where would one put one of them thangs in an older car?
Having had a VK I think they're about 3" wide.
I did ponder the idea myself but had nowhere to mount it that wouldn't look too out of place for an older car.
The pic above shows the controller at nowhere near 3" wide.. Maybe 3" deep, but that shouldn't be an issue. Fit it right next to the wiper switch.
Mate that only equates to 75mm.
Must have mis-understood each other.
The diameter of the controller appears to be far less than 75mm, but maybe 75mm deep. The diameter of the dial/knob is only about 1.5" from memory at that's larger diameter than the rest of the controller.

THE CITIZEN BUREAU | 8 JANUARY, 2020
'It's an Acha Din for a Protest' - Voices on the March
'We've showed them our communal harmony will win us the fight'
NEW DELHI: The capital was witness to two major protests today in solidarity with the nationwide general strike: a march and public meeting at the Delhi University's Faculty of Arts building, and a public gathering at the Jamia Millia Islamia university.
Outside the Arts Faculty in North Campus where the march was to begin, we saw barricades and a prominent police presence. The Delhi Police personnel were wearing their name tags this time.
Shreya, state secretary of the All India Democratic Students Organisation, said "It's very clear that they're trying to use communal riots as a technique to distract us from the real issues that matter to us. Farmers are still committing suicide, women are increasingly unsafe, education is being privatised. But it's clear that instead of communal riots, we've showed them that it's our communal harmony that will win us the fight."
Vidhi, a first-year DU student said, "They lathi charged and beat up students - the goons and police alike. They're not catching the real criminals and instead locking up students. Each one of us is here because we will not tolerate what is happening in this country now."
A pamphlet was being distributed at the site authored by the Krantikari Yuva Sangathan (Revolutionary Youth Association) reads in part:
"There is a small section of people in the country comprised of the rich and wealthy which robs and thrives on the toils of the masses. Those in power run their governments for the interests of this section. The Modi Government today has tremendously weakened labour laws to the benefit of Ambani, Adani and Tata…
"Today when poor people from Hindu, Muslim and all other communities are seeking answers from the Modi regime on the issues of education, health and employment, the government is trying to divert people's attention by dividing them on communal lines of Hindu and Muslim."
Presently the demonstrators tore up copies of a notice issued by the DU chief proctor which said that people need to take "permission" before organising protests.
A poster read, "All crowns will be tossed up, all thrones will be made to fall."
A literature student from DU said, "As a queer identifying individual I feel scared of the ABVP goons. They used tactics to intimidate us, to mock us. But as a student, it is my duty to agitate."
Alex, a Ramjas College student who helped organise the protest, said "This is a collective response, not just against the CAA or NRC, but towards the anti-people policy of the government in general. I was present in the Rajya Sabha gallery the day the bill was getting discussed, and the [home] minister said on record that the CAA would be followed by a nationwide NRC. So I obviously don't believe them now when they categorically deny it."
He went on to say about the government's citizenship project that "I think there are problems more important than this that the country is facing today - women's safety and education to name a few - but the government is hellbent on targeting one particular community.
"How many colleges from India are among the top 100 in the world? And the ones that are doing well like JNU are being targeted so brutally, by state sponsored violence."
A protestor from the Faculty of Sciences said "It's heartbreaking that you can just break into a premier institute in the capital of the country and beat up students. That's why we're here. Because we won't stand for something like that."
A teacher from Zakir Hussain College said, "We cannot just fight this battle on social media any more. We have to come out on the streets. As you can see the number of policemen here is more than the number of protestors. There was a call for a Bharat Bandh today and this is the most important platform we can use right now to fight the regime."
An MPhil English student said, "It's also very important that we're here in solidarity with workers. The idea that workers have to take permission to strike is itself ridiculous!"
The march began around 1.30, accompanied by police.
Slogans went up, of azadi or independence or freedom, of Halla Bol or Raise your Voice, and "Paper nahi dilayenge!" - We won't submit our documents!
A poster read, "My government is mute, it has blood on its hands."
At the Jamia Millia Islamia, Swati, an assistant professor at Galgotias University who studied English literature here, told The Citizen that "On 15th December, something broke in me. I had been following the situation closely but that day it became personal. The political became all the more personal.
"That is why I've been here whenever I've had the time to protest, at Jamia, Jantar Mantar, Nizamuddin, India Gate. This is not going to die anytime soon and it shouldn't die, even if on the 22nd it doesn't go our way [when the Supreme Court hears petitions challenging the CAA].
"This will continue and we will continue to fight this fascist regime."
A DU student requesting anonymity said, "I'm here at Jamia because of the atrocities against students. They keep on unleashing violence against students in some form or other. And as an economics student, I think that at this point of time this [CAA-NRC-NPR] move by the government doesn't make any sense. The government should focus on problems like poverty, unemployment and so on but I don't see that happening.
"How can you question the existence of the people of the country?" she asked. "I think it's their motive of Hindu Rashtra [state]. I am a Hindu but I don't think that by oppressing minorities I prove myself to be a true Hindu. I believe in equality and secularism."
Aishwarya Raj, a student at Miranda House, described the recent protests as "a collective uprising against everything wrong with this government. And also against the ABVP [the student arm of the RSS]. Places like JNU are where I dream to study. It's disheartening and scary to see students attacked there."
A student of Islamic studies at Jamia said, "They want to cause chaos and disrupt the peaceful environment of the protest. We protest peacefully but they send their police to create chaos. Then they send police and pressurise the students. But by God's grace we have continued to protest peacefully and will continue to do so."
Chandni told The Citizen that "I'm not a Jamia or DU alum but I'm here because of the current scenario in my country. The CAA is the most appalling amendment I've ever known in my lifetime. Do they really think we're that stupid?
"Nobody has the right to ask us about our documents just because they think it's appropriate. And what is this amendment? They are actually insulting the Constitution. It's a slap on all of our faces and I think everyone, especially all of the middle class who are busy arguing with their bosses, need to come out on the streets.
"We are so huge in number, if we come out nobody can stop us. It's important that everybody comes out. Bring your sisters, brothers, parents, everyone!"
On the recently unmasked violence at JNU, Chandni said "It's a shame. It's a goddamn shame on our city and our police. They are supposed to protect civilians, not watch students get beaten up!"
Meanwhile the assembled protestors were screaming "Godi media chor hai!" - The lapdog media are thieves.
Some students and alumni were on a hunger strike. The university's student, teacher, staff and alumni associations have condemned the new citizenship proposals, and the police brutality unleashed here a fortnight ago. Many have also called for the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah under whom the Delhi Police operates.
Others present were chanting slogans, reciting poems and singing songs like "Mujhe dushman ke bacchon ko padhana hai…" or "I want to teach the enemy's children…"
They called for volunteers from the crowd to come up and speak, sing or share a poem. Loudspeakers were playing Rang de Basanti and other patriotic songs.
Mohammed Azam, a student of political science, said "They tried to bring a bhagwa raj here [saffron rule]. We reject it and we're here to clean it up."
Meanwhile the marchers from DU pressed on despite the rain and fog. While the protest was mostly student led, a number of elderly faces could also be seen.
A poster read, "The end of the fucking democracy."
At Kamala Nagar the marchers turned round to return all the way to the Arts Faculty.
A DU student asked, "If you can't even guarantee students' physical safety inside their campus, then what can you do? No matter which political ideology you're from, this is a basic human right you're violating."
Saurabh Sagar, a first-year law student, said "Not only am I here for the students, but also for the workers. I stand against the anti-labour laws the government has implemented, 'combining' 42 laws into just four."
Himanshu, a second-year English student at Hindu College said, "They're using violence in universities so that they can then say that universities are violent places and unsafe for students, so they can ultimately close down students' unions and associations. This is exactly how they closed down the Kashmir Students' Union."
Yesterday the students of St Stephens College boycotted classes and gathered on their campus in protest against the violence at JNU and other universities. They sang slogans and read from the preamble to the Constitution.
Back now at the Arts Faculty building, several groups were chanting slogans and waiting for people to arrive who were to address the demonstration.
One of the speakers, scholar and advocate Gautam Bhatia, told The Citizen that the Citizenship Amendment Act "is problematic as it's the first time religion has been used by the government to categorise citizens in this manner. And then there's the entire constitutional debate that is going on at this moment. There are many things."
A poster read, "We'll go back to class after teaching you what democracy means."

(1) C-130J / -30 and LM-100J Models only. No AC-130Js.
Primarily I'm looking for good USAF /USN/USMC paint schemes but I'm open to picking one more scheme from another country if it looks nice.
Last edited by decaff_42 on Sun Nov 04, 2018 11:08 pm, edited 2 times in total.
My vote goes to any USAF/USMC scheme and the IAF scheme you linked above (I am a bit partial to the country of my birth , plus the Hindi lettering woud be a nice little challenge).
Please, add RAAF & RNZAF paint shemes!
That RNZAF C-130 is an H model, not J.
Despite this, the RNZAF are looking at the C-130J as an option to replace the current fleet of C-130H aircraft. So we could be getting the J sometime in the near future.
French Air Force also have quite nice dark color. I wanna see them too.
And I will also suggest USAF C-130J from Yokota AB. Yokota is one of the most biggest and busiest air base in Asia and it is very popular among Japan and South Korea.
here is my request. i not normally do this because i normally do it anyway . here is my c-130j i like to see.
That Oman camo scheme looks sweet. I didn't think any J models had camo like that.

Villa for sale in Moraira. A superb five bedroom detached villa directly overlooking the marina in Moraira and a short, five minute level walk into the historic heart of the village. The untouched bay of El Portet is also just a five minute stroll along the promenade. Built in 1979 and extensively modernised in 1997 this interesting, well maintained villa is in a very enviable location so close to the sea, Moraira marina and the village. Situated above the road to El Portet with a high natural stone wall, the villa is accessed from a short cul de sac. The villa is second line to the sea with only an empty plot, well below and on the other side of the coast road. The excellent sea and marina views from the villa will not be affected when this plot is built on as the planning laws allow a detached villa to be built but no higher than seven metres. Automatic wrought iron gates to ample parking and a garage. Just half a dozen steps up to the entrance porch of the upper floor comprising an entrance hall, sitting room with a fire place and the marina view, a dining room with three large windows with views to the sea and marina, a fully fitted kitchen approached through a wide arch, two double bedrooms including the master with en-suite and a guest cloakroom. Sweeping stainless steel balustraded external staircases lead up to the large roof terrace and down to the ground floor apartment at swimming pool level. The apartment has a three arched open naya, a sitting dining room with an open kitchen, three bedrooms, of which one is used as a study, a shower room, a laundry, a store room and a sauna cabin. Outside, there are delightful well maintained gardens with mature palm and citrus trees, a large pool terrace and swimming pool, a summer kitchen, a barbecue and a pool shower.


Bay Area Homes, Luxury Properties, San Jose Real Estate and Bay Homes.: Commercial Real Estate Stabilizing.
Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of REALTORS® sees a stabilizing commercial real estate sector for 2011, affecting retail, office and multi-family.
Yun anticipates a rise in household formation from an improving economy, which will increase demand for housing, both ownership and rental. "Multifamily housing is the one commercial sector that has held on relatively well in the past year, and can expect the best performance in 2011," he added.
The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors, in its SIOR Commercial Real Estate Index, an attitudinal survey of more than 400 local market experts, shows vacancy rates are slowly improving, but rents continue to be soft with elevated levels of subleasing space on the market. The SIOR index, measuring the impact of 10 variables, rose 1.6 percentage points to 42.6 in the third quarter, but remains well below a level of 100 that represents a balanced marketplace. This is the fourth straight quarterly improvement following almost three years of decline. The last time the commercial market was in equilibrium at the 100 level was in the third quarter of 2007; the index now matches where it was at the beginning of 2009. Fifty-nine percent of respondents expect improvements in the office and industrial sectors in the current quarter.
Commercial real estate development continues at stagnant levels with little investment activity, but is beginning to pick up in many parts of the country.
NAR's latest COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK offers projections for four major commercial sectors and analyzes quarterly data in the office, industrial, retail and multifamily markets. Historic data were provided by CBRE Econometric Advisors. Office vacancy rates are on the decline. In the office sector, where a large volume of sublease space remains on the market, are forecast to decline from 16.7 percent in the current quarter to 16.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, but with very little change during in the first half of the year. The markets with the lowest office vacancy rates currently are New York City and Honolulu, with vacancies around 9 percent. All other monitored markets have double-digit vacancy rates.
Annual office rent is expected to decline 1.8 percent this year, and then slip another 1.6 percent in 2011. In 57 markets tracked, net absorption of office space, which includes the leasing of new space coming on the market as well as space in existing properties, should be a negative 3.7 million square feet this year and then a positive 16.4 million in 2011.
Industrial vacancy rates are projected to decline from 13.9 percent currently to 13.2 percent in the closing quarter of 2011. At present, the areas with the lowest industrial vacancy rates are Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Kansas City, with vacancies in the 8 to 10 percent range. Annual industrial rent is likely to fall 4.0 percent this year, and decline another 3.4 percent in 2011. Net absorption of industrial space in 58 markets tracked should be a negative 25.1 million square feet this year and a positive 134.0 million in 2011.
Retail vacancy rates are expected to change little, declining from 13.1 percent in the fourth quarter of this year to 13.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Markets with the lowest retail vacancy rates currently include San Francisco; Orange County, Calif.; and Honolulu, with vacancies in the 7 to 8 percent range.
Average retail rent is seen to drop 3.4 percent in 2010 but largely stabilize next year, slipping 0.3 percent in 2011. Net absorption of retail space in 53 tracked markets is projected to be a negative 0.5 million square feet this year and then a positive 5.0 million in 2011.
The apartment rental market – multifamily housing – is expected to get a boost from growth in household formation. Multifamily vacancy rates are forecast to decline from 6.4 percent in the current quarter to 5.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011. Areas with the lowest multifamily vacancy rates presently are San Jose, Calif.; Miami; Boston; and Portland, Ore., with vacancies in a range around 4 percent. Average apartment rent is likely to rise 0.2 percent this year and another 1.4 percent in 2011. Multifamily net absorption should be 85,200 units in 59 tracked metro areas this year, and another 147,000 in 2011.


Try these delicious morsels; your guests will love them.
Preheat oven to 220C. Brush each hole of 2 mini-muffin tins with olive oil. Mix the cheeses and set aside about 3 tablespoons for scattering on top of muffins.
Place milk, salt and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat. Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking all the time. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens (you may want to swap the whisk for a wooden spoon as it gets thicker). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring all the while, then scoop the mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the yolks, cheese and parsley, and stir to combine. Taste and add pepper.
Whisk egg whites to firm peaks and fold into the mixture.
Fill each muffin tin and scatter over the reserved cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool in tins for a few minutes then turn out. Serve at once or refrigerate and reheat in the tins for 5 minutes.

Q: Sharing multiple views and controllers using "ion" view calls in Ionic Project I've been stuck on this issue for a week now and I feel like I understood 'ui-router' and 'ionic's' view routing but this seems not to be the case.
I've seen numerous examples how the view works but now as my build is larger, the examples I've seen are too simplistic for my project as my project has views for both a side menu, tabs, and each tabs content.
My issue:
I am holding more than one view with different controllers inside of my tabs. I'm working with a leaflet map and a drop down list that will be populated with my locations and I got both to work. However, the views are making weird calls. Anytime I select the leaflet map it pushes my "Discover List" (in my discover-home.html) button under my apps ion-nav-bar in my menu.html. In addition, you can see that this list view is in-between my map and the zoom icons and if do not touch my map and I switch tabs and come back I cannot open the list again.
I think the question's I need to ask to understand my problem are
1. What is the correct way to navigate in a multi-viewed applications using ionic's view navigation?
2. Why does changing views disable other controllers from being called again?
3. What are some of the best practices?
This is what I'm dealing with. Any help would be appreciated.

2017 has come and gone, and we are now at the beginning of a new year. One of the questions that everyone asks me is, "What's next?" or "What is going to be hot this year?" in technology. I'm going to share a few trends that I know are going to be HOT in 2018.
Everything is on demand now. You want to watch your favorite movie? You click a button on your phone, your tablet or your "SmartTV." Need a ride? There is Uber or Lyft for that. Need some food? Try GrubHub. This year, you will see more and more services using apps to deliver what you need. There is even an app out there now that will find rebates and coupon codes online and input them for you when you check out from an online shopping experience.
Augmented Reality is basically using a device (such as your phone) to view the "real world" but have some computer interaction augment or supplement the experience. Microsoft Windows is supporting augmented realty headsets in their latest release and Apple's new series of phones will be utilizing this technology. And since it is a phone it will become part of our daily lives.
I am embarrassed to say I missed the boat. I should have invested more in cryptocurrency. Maybe though, the boat did not leave the dock yet. Based on some reports that I have seen, some analysists predict that a Bitcoin will sell for $32,000 by the end of 2018. Other forms of cryptocurrency are always showing a big rate of return. Do your research and judge for yourself. As for me, I am buying in!
Smart watches have been cool and trendy but not groundbreaking. Many folks who wear the Apple watch (like myself) have one because we love tech. It is semi-useful, but not great. New smart watches are coming out such as the HELO, which has all of the regular functions, but can test for blood pressure and blood alcohol content and even help keep away mosquitoes. This year, expect some continued big breakthroughs in the smart watch world.

Whenever you want to expand your business, you have to keep in mind that you need to target the online customers for the best response. Nowadays, smartphones make up a large part of sales, and you have to focus on potential clients through your website. But people are also restless, and they won't waste time by browsing the search engine result page. The natural habit of users is to click the first few links appearing on the screen. So your target will be to reach that topmost rank for the best reachability. Otherwise, in spite of maintaining a good website, you won't be able to draw viewers.
It is necessary to make people aware of your brand before you start to have a surge in the sales figure. Your page will appear more on the social media platforms only when the optimization will enhance the contents and make them fit enough for display on social media. It is also necessary to apply the SEO strategies which understands the requirements of the potent customers and align your website accordingly for better reachability. Ads can come from any company, but special promotions will come only when you hire SEO services.

Ford F-Series Now Official Truck of The NFL
America's toughest trucks are celebrating football's toughest players. Ford and the National Football League are teaming up on a three-year partnership establishing Ford trucks as Official Truck of the NFL.
"America's truck leader is teaming up with organizers of the nation's favorite sport to put the spotlight on fans and players who show toughness, smarts and determination on and off the field, and who deserve to be recognized for that," says Mark LaNeve, Ford Motor Company vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and service. "Both brands – each a leader in its category and known for toughness, capability, excellence and innovation – are coming together to give fans exclusive access to events and games, and to highlight players in a new way."
"Just like our fans and players, Ford trucks and the NFL are always working to reach the next level through hard work, grit and commitment, which makes this partnership a natural fit," says Renie Anderson, NFL senior vice president, sponsorship and partnership management. "We're proud to be partnering with such a legendary American brand and look forward to helping Ford trucks become synonymous with the country's most popular sports league."
Ford kicked off its partnership as Official Truck of the NFL in New York providing fans the opportunity to order Built Ford Tough Tailgate Trucks On Demand through Uber, delivering tough tailgate food, game tickets and merchandise by the all-new Ford F-Series Super Duty.
Additionally, Ford is bringing a Built Ford Tough Tailgate Tour for fans to NFL games around the country. These experiences will give consumers access to their own Built Ford Tough Tailgates On Demand on game day, as well as hard-to-get game tickets.
NFL fans also can enter the Built Ford Tough Toughest Ticket sweepstakes for a chance to win a pair of tickets to Super Bowl LI, plus an all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty customized to showcase their favorite NFL team.
Built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Week
Just like Built Ford Tough F-Series trucks, NFL offensive linemen are some of the toughest, smartest, most capable players in the league.
Former NFL offensive lineman, NFL Network and NFL.com analyst Shaun O'Hara will leverage statistical analysis, positional expertise and knowledge of assignments to determine the Offensive Line of the Week based on their performance in the previous week's games.
Both Ford and the NFL are excited to see the contributions of these unsung heroes acknowledged. At the conclusion of the season, one line will be recognized as Built Ford Tough Offensive Line of the Year at the annual NFL honors awards presentation.
Offensive Line of the Week will be announced every Tuesday afternoon on NFL.com/Ford.

The 1984 WCHA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was the 25th conference playoff in league history and 32nd season where a WCHA champion was crowned. The tournament was played between February 25 and March 11, 1984. First round and semifinal games were played at home team campus sites while the championship match was held at the Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By winning the tournament, Minnesota-Duluth received the WCHA's automatic bid to the 1984 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament.

Format
All member teams were eligible for the tournament and were seeded No. 1 through No. 6 according to their final conference standing, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with an identical number of points accumulated. Unlike previous years the Broadmoor Trophy recipient's (Minnesota-Duluth) home venue was not used for the tournament championship round. Instead the Williams Arena, the home of the Minnesota Golden Gophers, served as the site for the Championship game. Each series were two-game matchups with the team that scored the most goals advancing to the succeeding round. The top two seeded teams received byes into the semifinal round while the third seed and sixth seed and the fourth seed and fifth seed met in the first round. The teams that advanced to the semifinal were re-seeded according to the final regular season conference standings, with the first seed matched against lowest remaining seed in one semifinal game and the second seed meeting with the other advancing team with the winners meeting in the championship round.

We've mentioned many times in the past that we are the proud father of an inexplicable little daughter who owns our TV and occasionally deigns to allow us to watch it. She's two now, and that means that Nick Jr. and Sprout logos have burned themselves permanently into the screen.
Not that we haven't found a few ways to enjoy it, mind you. We tend to spend our time in Dora's Re-Education Camp either spinning wild theories about the real meanings behind the programs or fantasizing about some of the stone foxes they have on the shows. Lately, though, we realized that these shows are teaching some incredibly wrong lessons, and being the concerned fearmonger we are, we thought we'd pass them along to you.
If you've been forced to watch Go, Diego, Go!, then you know two things about it: that the show's theme song is indescribably catchy and that being an animal rescuer is a pretty cool job. Diego spends all of his curiously unsupervised time gallivanting around the globe attempting to help out animals in trouble.
Take for instance the plight of a starving puffin. Puffins eat fish, so Diego gets him something to eat. That's the circle of life, nature red in tooth and claw and all that jazz.
There's nothing wrong with that lesson, but Diego turns it into something horrifying because every other animal he runs across is bright-eyed, friendly and most of all adorably vocal. Even though they don't show it, we can only assume that when Diego came across the fish to feed the baby puffin, they greeted him warmly and he opened their skulls with a rock when their backs were turned.
You see this one a lot in Ni-Hao Kai-Lan and Bubble Guppies. In Kai-Lan's case we're usually dealing with one of Kai-Lan's friends being kind of a jerk and making one of the others sad or angry. At this point, Kai-Lan will explain to whoever is being a douchebag what they are doing that is douchebaggish and hopefully the scene will then become douchebagless.
That's fine for Kai-Lan. In general she's dealing with people she knows and loves during lapses in their behavior. When the Bubble Guppies do it, it usually involves a stranger. Case in point, you get two of them playing ball when suddenly their ball is stolen by the Ball Hog. They decide that they need to teach the Ball Hog how to share, and of course that works out fine.
In real life, though...if someone you don't know comes out of the bushes, steals your stuff and walks off, you need to call the cops or tell your parents or something. Pursuing a thief and trying to hug it out sounds like a good way to make a situation go from bad to worse.
We're back over to Bubble Guppies and Ni-Hao Kai-Lan for this one. Games are a big part of everyone's childhood. Whether you're talking about something focused and rigidly organized like football or something more chaotic like Calvinball, we all like to pit our prepubescent skills against our fellows.
However, when the gang plays a game in Kai-Lan, they go out of their way to find a way to make sure nobody has to lose, such as ceasing a round of musical chairs in order to simply dance together. It's better than Bubble Guppies, where they have invented versions of NASCAR and basketball in which losing is actually impossible.
Look, we're not one of those people who believe that losing builds character or that it is some kind of rite of passage. Mainly because, and this lesson never seems to get mentioned, it doesn't really matter who wins a childhood game. It really doesn't. You're just killing time and having fun. Sure, if you have a friend who only ever wants to play a game they're much better than you, it's annoying, but that's because they too have forgotten that it doesn't really matter.
Just once we'd like to see kid's show where a group of kids played a game, someone won, someone lost and they just say, "Okay, next round?"
Between Kai-Lan and the interludes starring Moose and Zee on Nick Jr., they go out of their way to interact in a friendly way with fire ants. And they go out of their way to specifically mention fire ants rather than the less demonic species. Willy nilly, characters from multiple shows help them build carnivals or attend their birthday parties.
Seriously? Fire ants. Let's look at the statistics. Fire ants in Texas do roughly $1.2 billion in damage every year. They are incredibly aggressive, attacking anything they perceive as a threat with suicidal rage. They are a menace to ranchers because a swarm is perfectly capable of killing a newborn calf, though they aren't generally fatal to humans unless you happen to be allergic to their venom.
Nonetheless, their sting is incredibly painful, and we don't really appreciate a children's program giving these denizens of hell some kind of sweet, helpful makeover. Thanks to Nick Jr., we caught our daughter cheerfully introducing herself to an ant bed.


Tricia and I attended the ALA Midwinter Convention in Dallas, where we stuck around to attend the ALA Youth Media Awards announcements live on Monday morning. It's always fun and interesting to hear the announcements instead of having them filtered through Twitter or Facebook feeds--and this time it was especially fun, when my recently signed client Duncan Tonatiuh's name was read out as the recipient of the Pura Belpré Illustrator Award, for his book Diego Rivera! Duncan was also recognized by the Belpre committee with an illustrator honor designation last year for Dear Primo.
Much of the focus at Midwinter is on the work of the awards committees. Some of them are open, and you can sit in and listen to discussions, and there is an awareness of them that hums through the exhibit hall and the events of the convention. That hum continues well into the week, as the committees' final choices are not all announced Monday morning. Now that the lists are up, we are so pleased to have even more books on even more lists!

Fiction and history coalesce in a rich, ripping tale of assassinations, political intrigue and religion in 15th-century Brittany.
When the pig farmer who paid three coins to wed Ismae sees the red scar across her back, he cracks her in the skull and hurls her into the root cellar until a priest can come "to burn you or drown you." The scar shows that Ismae's mother poisoned her in utero; Ismae's survival of that poisoning proves her sire is Mortain, god of death. A hedge priest and herbwitch spirit Ismae to the convent of St. Mortain, where nuns teach her hundreds of ways to kill a man. "We are mere instruments of Mortain…. His handmaidens, if you will. We do not decide who to kill or why or when. It is all determined by the god." After Ismae's first two assassinations, the abbess sends her to Brittany's high court to ferret out treason against the duchess and to kill anyone Mortain marks, even if it's someone Ismae trusts—or loves. Brittany fights to remain independent from France, war looms and suitors vie nefariously for the duchess' hand. Ismae's narrative voice is fluid and solid, her spying and killing skills impeccable. LaFevers' ambitious tapestry includes poison and treason and murder, valor and honor and slow love, suspense and sexuality and mercy.
Just about a month ago, we welcomed a new member into the EMLA community: recent VCFA grad Melanie Crowder, who won the 2011 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Prize for her gorgeous and lyrical eco-fable WATER.
Told in three voices, WATER is set in a near future shaped by drought and water wars, following a boy, a girl, and her dog (yes, and it works beautifully!) as they struggle for survival in their parched land. Both evocative and heart-wrenching, this middle-grade novel grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let me go. And now I'm thrilled to be able to say that I was not the only one to think so: This week, WATER received a publication offer from the super-savvy Reka Simonsen at Harcourt. Melanie has accepted the offer and her debut middle-grade novel will be coming out sometime in 2013.
Hooray, and many congratulations to Melanie!
The civil war that Digger helped start (in Starcrossed, BCCB 10/10) hasn't yet reached the city of Gerse, where she has returned after her sojourn with a group of nobles, hoping to regain some semblance of her old life as a thief. She's having trouble finding her feet, though, as the death of her boyfriend and partner, Tegen, has marked her as bad luck among her suspicious underworld friends. The nobles, however, know her worth as a devotee of Tiboran, the god of those who must lie for a living, and they arrange to embroil her in yet another of their intrigues. This time she is drawn into a murder investigation; the sweet, good-natured Durrel Decath, who saved her from the Greenmen on the night of Tegen's death, has been accused of murdering his much older, ill-tempered wife. At first more than willing to help clear his name, she soon begins to wonder if her faith in him is misplaced, as the evidence she gathers becomes more and more confusing and seems in fact to point to his guilt. Digger's feisty spirit and clever wit, limned as it is with a deep vein of grief and loneliness, render her an irresistible character as she navigates the social and spiritual eccentricities of her world. A subtle but extremely effective parsing of that world according to its various gods allows strange dealings between rich and poor, law-abiding and not, as Digger the thief, for instance, blends in as easily with the nobles as she does with other thieves and actually finds herself feeling guilty when she tells the truth.
Familiarity with the first book is absolutely essential for re-entering Digger's life with its complicated connections and loyalties, but the re-immersion is every bit as engrossing and satisfying as the initial plunge and the breathtaking surprise ending will leave readers aching for the next installment. With its compelling and complex characters and political intrigues, this series will especially appeal to devotees of Turner's Queen's Thief series.
Pat Zietlow Miller inks deal for her second picture book with Schwartz and Wade.
Pat Zietlow Miller may still be a relative EMLA newbie, but she certainly knows how to start a new year off with a bang. Just three months after the sale of her first picture book, SOPHIE'S SQUASH, I'm delighted to announce that another book from Pat is going to be shared with the world! Filled to bursting with the warm, rich language that is her trademark, SHARING THE BREAD is a lyrical celebration of food and family and togetherness as seen during one down-home Thanksgiving dinner. It's moving and mouth-watering and is absolutely destined to be a read-aloud classic.
For those who like to take a peek behind the scenes at the inner workings of a book deal, don't miss the detailed write-up that Pat has included on her blog here. SHARING THE BREAD doesn't yet have a solid pub date—I can only imagine the gorgeous illustrations that will go with her amazing text!—but it will also be published by Schwartz and Wade, with Anne Schwartz at the helm.
The holidays are over and New Year's resolutions have been made! Resolved to read more in 2012? Here's a couple of titles to help you with that.
Darkness Falls by Cate Tiernan is the second book in the Immortal Beloved series (IMMORTAL BELOVED book #1) about a girl torn between two worlds all while trying to choose true love, published by Little, Brown.
Too Princessy! by Jean Reidy continues her TOO . . . series (TOO PURPLEY!; TOO PICKLEY!) and is about a girl learning to use her imagination while it rains outside, published by Bloomsbury.
Star #2 for We've Got a Job!
"This chronicle of a pivotal chapter of the civil rights movement weaves together the stories of four black children in Birmingham, Ala., who were among some 4,000 who boycotted school to participate in a march to protest segregation. Before recounting that event, during which almost 2,500 young people were arrested and jailed, first-time author Levinson opens with intimate profiles of the four spotlighted children (drawn from interviews she conducted with each of them), along with descriptions of Birmingham's racist laws, corrupt politicians, antiblack sentiment—and activists' efforts to fight all of the above. Readers also get an up-close view of such leaders as Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, who founded the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights; Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated a nonviolent response; and James Bevel, a preacher who rallied the city's children and teens. Yet the most compelling component is Levinson's dramatic re-creation of the courageous children's crusade and the change it helped bring about in the face of widespread prejudice and brutality. Powerful period photos and topical sidebars heighten the story's impact."
And a middle grade and chapter book! Go ahead, PEEK!
Yes, a bonus round. We're so excited about all of our titles, we can't resist showing you a few more sneek peaks due out from later in the year—picture books—all getting ready with anticipation for a summer launch. Ready. Set. (No, not Go . . . yet!) Peek!

Japan's GPIF lost a staggering $136 billion due to Q4's rout in equities.
As 2018's fourth quarter shockwaves jolted investors worldwide, Japan's Government Pension Fund Global (GPIF) was no exception, losing 9.06% of its assets, or $136 billion, in just three months.
The world's biggest pension fund released materials showing the fund's total assets fell from its record 165 trillion yen in September to December's 150 trillion yen, its worst slippage since April 2008. The plan was down 4.31% for the fiscal year.
Foreign and domestic equities, which accounted for nearly half of the pension giant's assets under management, supplied the most damage, declining 15.71% and 17.57%, respectively, in the quarter. For the fiscal year so far, which ends in March, they dropped 5.08% and 11.82%, respectively.
The fund's benchmarks for the asset classes, the TOPIX and MSCI ACWI indexes, were down 15.58% and 17.60% in the quarter. For the fiscal year ending in March, they lost 4.88% and 11.86%.
The slide included the fund's foreign bonds holdings, although the results were less bloody. That asset class took a 2.74% hit for the quarter, and only lost 0.45% over the current fiscal year. Foreign bonds were 17.41% of the Japanese pension fund's portfolio.
The FTSE World Government Bond index lost 2.49% in the quarter, and shrank 0.38% in the fiscal year.
Domestic bonds, which were 28.20% of the fund's portfolio, was the outlier with positive results, returning 1.01% for the quarter, and 0.36% in the fiscal year.
The composite benchmark was up 1.02% for the quarter, and 0.35% in the plan's current fiscal year.
Short-term assets, the remaining 6.38% of the Japanese fund's portfolio, were flat.

Princess (Flash series)
Princess is a Flash animation series by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park. The story follows a Lhasa Apso dog.
Princess Hears a Strange Noise
Princess Meets Officer Friendly
Princess Finds a Red Balloon
On December 8, 1999, Daily Variety reported that Parker and Stone were going to produce 39 shorts that were to be 3-5 minutes long. In January 2000, the duo announced that they would have full creative and artistic control of the series.
The animated short was originally produced with Macromedia Flash in 2001 and was meant to be showcased on Macromedia's sister-site shockwave.com. Stone and Parker never heard back from shockwave.com after submitting the first two episodes.
Parker has stated that he and Stone would love to do more episodes if someone wanted to distribute them and has encouraged fans with Flash skills to continue the story themselves.
Princess is awakened by a strange squishing sound. It is a man being manually masturbated by his wife. She is unsuccessful in bringing him to orgasm because he has taken a large dosage of Viagra. After three hours of sexual activity the woman begins performing fellatio. When the fellatio is unsuccessful he plays a porn movie on the television. When the porn movie is unsuccessful he changes the channel to a show about interior decorating at which point he reaches orgasm. The force from the hours of sexual activity causes the semen to fly right through her head, killing her in the process. The episode ends with the semen-covered dog sneezing as the man asks her "What are we going to do?".
Later in the morning, as police officers survey the scene, the husband gives information about the crime scene to Officer Friendly, the man in charge of the investigation. Officer Friendly says this is the 18th case of the aforementioned incident since Viagra was introduced to the public. The husband then goes to inform his son, Tommy, about the wife. Meanwhile, a man claiming to be a coroner enters the house and asks for 20 minutes alone with the body. In reality, he is a necrophiliac, and performs anal sex with the corpse. Princess tries to tell Officer Friendly and his partner (a parody of the television show Lassie) but they assume the dog is in heat. Princess then enters Tommy's room where the husband unsuccessfully attempts to explain to his son what happened. Princess barks and Tommy thinks the dog is telling him to "see Mommy". The episode ends with Tommy opening his parents' bedroom door to find the necrophiliac engaged in sexual acts with his mother's corpse.
At the end of the "Officer Friendly" episode, the viewers are invited to see the next installment, "Princess Finds A Red Balloon". However, according to South Park Studios, the episode was never produced following the rejection of the first two.
