Trope, Characters As Device, Body and Host,
This Index Has Had a Hard Life
"I feel nothing... I AM nothing."
—Shadow Mitsuo, Persona 4
This character is... barely a character. For a variety of reasons, he or she has gone past the Extreme Doormat and Stepford Smiler and become nothing. They aren't pushovers or empty of real personality, they are completely dead inside. They are this side of a Convenient Coma because there is still something there... they move, talk, eat, sleep, but they have no drive, ambition, or capacity for emotion. Basically, the body is an active biochemical machine, but the part that made him or her alive and human is gone.
In Real Life, the closest term for it is probably "catatonic". However, catatonia is as likely to result from the inability to initiate movement as it is from lack of consciousness; the individual could be anything from fully conscious to nearly comatose, and you could never tell.
How did this happen? Here's a few ways: regular old Crapsack World induced trauma, psychological torture, Mind Control, Mind Rape, and high end uses of an Agony Beam. It can be done metaphysically by being drained of all their Liquid Assets or Life Energy, or having their Soul or part of their Soul Anatomy stolen. Then again, sufficiently radical body alterations can do this too, like being "upgraded" into a machine body or a less-than-successful attempt at resurrection.
Sometimes it's curable, others it's a permanent Fate Worse Than Death. Expect these characters to be the preferred People Puppets for Telepaths and demons for being not so much Weak-Willed as No Willed. Contrast The Soulless, who are like Empty Shells filled with drive and ambition, and lacking all moral restraint. Compare to Soulless Shells, who died and were brought back without their souls.
Examples of Empty Shell include:
Mazinger Z: The Iron Masks and Iron Cross are cyborg Big Bad Dr. Hell fabricated with corpses, mechanizing their brains (actually their helmets are a replacement for his skulls) and programming them to obey him loyally and without question. They have no name, no identity, no personality (and they barely have half face left under their helmets) and no family. They don't feel hesitate or fear and they don't fear death. And they don't mind.
Neon Genesis Evangelion flips this on its head with Rei Ayanami, who it is revealed starts out as one of many identical empty clone shells in the Reiquarium, with a new one taken out and uploaded with her personality as each successive one is killed. Of course, considering Rei's default personality, it is unclear whether there is a significant difference.
It should be noted, however, that Rei does have a soul; the clone bodies are sort of like Gigai from Bleach.
Also, after the ever-pleasant visit by Arael, Asuka is left rather devastated.
In Darker Than Black "Dolls" are assumed to be this by nearly everyone (not only the Yakuza has no qualms over traffic in Dolls for Sex Bot use, but efforts to save one were viewed as misaimed and pointless by those who knew what she is). Like with Contractors having no emotions, it was disproven, but they still are at worst comatose and at best submissive and so passive that people working with them all the time are surprised if they use their medium abilities without being told to, or show they care for someone. One was even successfully able to pretend that he was a corpse.
Suman Dark in D Gray Man becomes this after Allen manages to save him from being a Fallen One. And then Tyki Mikk explodes him.
Miharu, the main character of Nabari no Ou starts like this. He is indifferent to everyone and everything around him. The only thing he makes an effort at is being apathetic. He changes with time, though.
Mytho from Princess Tutu begins the series as one, having literally shattered his own heart in order to seal away the Raven. As a result, he can't bring himself to do anything, not even think, unless someone tells him to.
In Vampire Princess Miyu, those who either willingly exchange blood with Miyu or are bitten by her have their minds placed in a sort-of endless dream, while they act like eternally smiling and "happy" empty shells.
In the Fullmetal Alchemist first anime, Tucker ends up creating one of these when he uses a Philosopher's Stone to recreate Nina's body. It's breathing and technically 'alive', but it has no mind and it has no soul.
The league of failed potential rulers of Amestris (seen here) who became the puppet soldiers of the Complete Monster that is the golden-toothed doctor after being regarded as useless spares once Bradley accepted the Philosopher's Stone is very much implied to be this. They attack the groups with single-minded efficiency, demonstrate no outward emotions other than wide-eyed stern blankness, and sacrificed themselves under a transmutation circle just so that Edward will be transported into the center of Father's country-wide one without a second thought.
There's also what happened in the first anime to Ed's friend Rose Thomas as the show gradually slid away from the idealistic end of the Sliding Scale. She's left mute and pregnant after some soldiers who invaded her home town gang-raped her, ending up so empty that she was used first as a figurehead of a Religion of Evil, and then just as an Empty Shell for the Big Bad to possess. Miraculously, she gets better..
Going by the once-Cutie Yukari Hirai early on in Shakugan no Shana. Actually, this happens to Torches as they gradually fade away from existence.
Happens in Rozen Maiden to dolls who lose their Rosa Mystica; they lose consciousness and become an ordinary doll (albeit with their eyes closed). It is implied though that their souls live on somewhere else, particularly in the manga.
One of the story arcs inXxxHolic centers around a girl becoming this.
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Millennium Eye has the power to remove people's souls, leaving their bodies like this. Luckily for Grandpa, Kaiba, and Mokuba, this is reversible.
Henrietta at the start of, and well into, Gunslinger Girl. Also after she gets reconditioned.
Rico: Welcome back, Henrietta!
Henrietta: Hello roommate, neighbour; I am home.
In Return to Labyrinth, Sarah qualifies. While not completely empty-shell, she has no real drive, desires, or ambition, and a large portion of her soul had been removed.
In Flame of Recca, clone Aoi does this to the local healer Yanagi by erasing her memories and pushing back her thoughts, removing her consciousness so that the satanic monster resulting from the fusion of two Complete Monsters, Tendo Jigoku, can absorb her soul without being rebelled by healing powers. It takes the timely arrival of her lover Recca to bring her back to her senses.
Happens to Agnieszka in Kurobara Alice. As the corollary to her Break the Cutie process, she stabs herself to death; a vampire named Maximilian, however, stabs her almost lifeless body with a magical blade, and renders her as this.
Yuu[1] opt to become in the 2012 anime of Black Rock Shooter, due to the soul-crushing situation of her life.
In Ai no Kusabi, this happened to Kirie by forcefully being Brainwashed to be a Pet. AKA a Sex Slave. For him it was a Fate Worse Than Death.
In Goblin Slayer, Priestess' once-partner Rookie Fighter ended up like this after being gangraped by goblins and witnessing the death of their other companions, Rookie Warrior and Rookie Wizardess.
The Emplate body is an example. Created to be a vessel for another character's personality, it becomes bestial and mindless when not 'occupied'.
One particularly nasty side story in Transmetropolitan involves Spider doing a story on child prostitutes in The City, who are disturbingly like this.
Man-Thing exists more or less in this state permanently, unable to hold onto any moments of temporary lucidity and motivated only by empathy.
Elf Quest devotes a plot point to an elf so tortured and mutilated by his captors that he has no arms, no legs, and no mind. He's got rockshaping powers, though, and can be prodded into using them in whatever direction they want him to, just to avoid worse pain.
Victims of the Anti-Life Equation in The DCU are turned into this. Forever and ever. And all it takes is to hear the Equation once.
In Harry Potter and The Methods of Rationality, Harry becomes this for a few paragraphs due to prolonged exposure to a Dementor. He still acts and reacts, but his internal monologue is utterly mechanistic.
Marty in No Antidote, increasingly so because of his neural degeneration.
Podling who have their essence drained in The Dark Crystal become this, turning gray and empty eyed, shuffling from place to place. Happily, it was cured when the Dark Crystal was healed.
In the horror film Pulse, ghosts drain the "will to live" from people, turning them into Empty Shells that just want to die.
The chemical Pax caused most of the population of Miranda to sit or lie down wherever they were and do nothing until they died, in Serenity. The remainder had the exact opposite reaction, becoming the psychotically violent once-human monsters known as the Reavers.
Thankfully averted in the case of the titular character of WALL-E. He gets better after EVE says her "final" goodbye.
Richardson threatens to do this to David in The Adjustment Bureau, obliterating his mind so completely that there would in essence be nothing left of him.
This is the fate that befalls those who watch even a moment of the titular film in David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
In Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, if a Dementor eats your soul, you become this: not only will you be unable to feel, but you won't even have a consciousness. You just "exist", in a coma for the rest of your life.
In Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy, Arthur Dent spends some time on a planet which seems a lot like Earth but where no one has any motivation or hopes at all, and apparently don't even care enough to avoid dying of thirst when their plumbing breaks.
In the Discworld novel The Light Fantastic, Trymon becomes one after his mind becomes a door into the "Dungeon Dimensions", whence strange, horrible creatures try to escape into reality.
Also in the (quite dark) Discworld book Night Watch, the Cable Street Irregulars' torture has reduced several people to this. Probably the most controversial thing in the series is the sentence, "Vimes took his dagger, and...gave what help he could".
In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, patients who are lobotomized become this.
In His Dark Materials, there are creatures known as Spectres that feed off of adults, turning them into Empty Shells.
This is also usually the fate of those who have their daemons severed.
The ultimate fate of the protagonists in 1984.
People caught by the Black Wind in The Wheel of Time series become this, if they survive. Likewise being "kissed" by a Draghkar, or otherwise losing your soul. There are also the Grey Men, sometimes known in-universe as The Soulless, who have surrendered their souls to the Shadow and are little more than automatons.
Perhaps the nastiest version -- the Borg are this, according to Star Trek Destiny. The guiding intelligence of the Borg was once an alien cybernetic organism called a Caeliar -- a bit paranoid and xenophobic, but basically okay. But after being stranded in the past with nothing to sustain her, Sedin degraded into a mindless hunger.
In A Song of Ice and Fire Drogo ends up like this after Mirri heals him. After being convinced he won't recover, Daenerys suffocates him.
Scott Tyler in The Power of Five is one of these at the end of Nightrise. Probably understandable, considering he spent most of the book being tortured, both physically and mentally.
Some of Isaac Asimov's robots became like this if they got stuck in the robot equivalent of a really bad infinite loop (eg, by running into a Three Laws conflict that couldn't be resolved without hurting at least one human. The smarter ones found a solution that minimized human injury; simpler models just went insane.)
Within the Gentleman Bastard series, this is the result of inhaling the smoke of wraithstone. It's commonly used on animals to "gentle" them, effectively removing all desire other than a mild desire to eat, sleep, and follow commands. It works on humans too...
Battle Royale demonstrates why this can also be a bad thing for those around the Empty Shell. Kazuo Kiriyama was brain-damaged at birth, and his emotional responses are extremely limited. With no feeling of reward for accomplishment, he's been drifting through life, and with no sense of guilt, he has difficulty resolving moral dilemmas. When forced to kill his classmates to survive, he can't tell whether it would be better to fight it and potentially get himself killed too, or go along and ensure his own survival if nothing else. A coin flip resolves things in favor of going along, so he calmly, emotionlessly kills as many students as he can as fast as he can.
In Robert Silverberg's novel Recalled to Life, a process is invented that can restore recently dead (i.e. within a day or so) people to life. (It doesn't actually heal whatever killed them, so it's mostly useful for drownings and the like.) One catch: there's about a one-in-six chance of restoring a mindless shell.
Colonel Armitage in Neuromancer. The mercenaries he's hired suspect that he does nothing but sit and stare at the wall when he's not on the job.
Debatable, but... Bella from Twilight becomes this during New Moon while Edward is gone.
In Harmony by Project Itoh, Harmony is supposed to be a program which controls human will via Nanomachines to make human decisions perfectly logical and beneficial for society, but in the process it turns people into this (since the main conceit of the book is that consciousness is formed from the brain weighing up the benefits of various actions, and since Harmony does this task for people, humans stop being conscious). Somewhat averted, though, because Empty Shells under the influence of Harmony are perfectly functional human beings and experience pure, total bliss, compared to Heaven on Earth - they just have no inner voice.
'Zakath in The Malloreon. The Mirin Codex calls him "The Empty One".
This is the fate of victims of the revenant (most notably Warren Burgess) in the Fablehaven series--they're trapped in the deepest recesses of their mind, with almost no signs of life on the outside, and no ability to speak. For some weird reason, the revenant also turns the victim into an albino. Everyone gets better after Seth, in a nearly impossible display of courage, removes the wooden nail nail (the only thing keeping the revenant alive) from its neck.
In Animorphs, the Ellimist's back story involves him being captured by Father, a huge sea creature that absorbs/enslaves the minds of others. Eventually the Ellimist learns to absorb those dead minds from Father into himself. At the end it seems that Father had no real mind of his own, just a Hive Mind from everyone he had absorbed.
Possibly the Isk, created by the Yoorts and together making up the Iskoort species.
In Dollhouse, the Actives are supposedly like this between missions, although evidence suggests that this may not be as complete as the characters believe.
The characters know it, too. To wit: Topher's aversion to the Actives "grouping", or making basic friendships that endure through wipes. The same processes that creates the "grouping" effect can cause the chance of a "composite event", or the Active gaining access to all their previous personas at once, because it penetrates through the wipe.
In Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy sees herself as being this trope, stating multiple times that she can't feel anything since she was brought back from the dead. This also constitutes the theme of most of her songs in the musical episode. She isn't really an empty shell though, and gets better by the end of the season.
Played with on Angel, in "Soul Purpose". Angel is coma-dreaming about Fred doing surgery on him and she tells him "There's nothing left, just a shell", an allusion to what Wolfram and Hart is doing to him. It's also irony since she became a literal shell for Illyria.
The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Life Support." Vedek Bareil dies and is then resurrected, but for him to survive, part of his brain had to be replaced with positronic implants (the same stuff Data's brain is made of). He is able to function but he is very different, almost emotionless, and describes his sensations as vague shadows of what he remembers. Eventually, when the rest of his brain starts to fail, Doctor Bashir allows him to die rather than replacing his entire brain with artificial implants. Also an example of Cybernetics Eat Your Soul.
In Supernatural, acting as an archangel's vessel leaves you like this when said archangel leaves.
Except for Asok, everyone in Dilbert has been reduced to this by the mindlessness of the workplace. This is what it looks like when it happens.
Tabletop RPG
This is a result of soul loss in the New World of Darkness. Initially, the newly soulless person develops the inability to care about others around him as his Karma Meter erodes to 1, but then his Willpower starts to vanish, and once that hits zero, they become what is basically this, so long as someone doesn't realize that the vacated meat puppet is a good body. If their soul -- or someone else's -- is grafted back to them, they gradually return to normal.
This is one of the ways to describe what happens when you lose all of your charisma (by being poisoned or subject to magical draining attacks, for example) in Dungeons and Dragons. Losing all Wisdom -- a measure of a character's mental balance, the base stat for Willpower -- causes you to "fall into a nightmare-filled sleep." Losing all your points in any vital stat generally means you can't act at all and automatically fail checks based on that stat until you recover at least one point in it - the exception is Constitution, which measures your health, and if that falls to 0, you simply die.
This is what happens to people who stay too long in Hades, the lowest plane of the lower planes in the default cosmology. The idea presented is that pure evil is not torture or manipulation; it's the complete loss of hope.
The upper plane of Elysium has an "entrapping" trait almost identical to Hades, except it operates through contentment rather than despair.
This is the second-worst thing that can happen to someone in Don't Rest Your Head, if the Mad City completely breaks them.
Waisen from Seventh Sea's Eisen are like that. Thirty years of war can do this to helpless civilians.
In In Nomine, this is what happens to angels and demons who lose all of their Celestial Forces; They become Remnants, wandering the Earth in whatever body they last used before they were killed, without the perception to remember what they were or the will to do much of anything. Angels and demons alike tend to consider them both sad and creepy.
This is what happens to Kairi in Kingdom Hearts when her Heart leaves her body and enters Sora.
Also of note are the Nobodies in the second game; the body of someone who has had their heart stolen in most cases the shell is transformed into a shapeless monster. They have no emotions of any kind, as they have no 'heart', but the Nobodies of people with particularly strong hearts retain their memories and human appearance. They know what it means to feel, but will never do so again, (sometimes) through no fault of their own. They want Sora to kill as many Heartless as possible so that they can build a Kingdom Hearts that can restore their lost hearts.
Similar to the Kairi example above, this happens to Ventus when his heart leaves his body and enters Sora.
Shedinja from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire onwards. It's literally an empty shell with nothing inside, the discarded remains of an evolved Nincada's exoskeleton.
Shedinja's hard body doesn't move -- not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell.
There have been, in fact, cards for Shedinja in the Pokémon Trading Card Game who have the special ability "Empty Shell."
According to legend, Azelf can cause humans to lose all will inside of them, making them completely immobile. Uxie can wipe your memories as a human, and Mesprit can strip your emotions clean. All three of these are likely to do this if you really piss them off. They are, at least, respectable in that they don't use these powers when trainers play with them in Pokémon battles.
Shadow Pokémon, which themselves have their emotions wiped clean in some of the worst implied (human-inflicted) Mind Rape the series will ever know. All of this because those Complete Monsters in charge of Cipher want military power for their campaign of global conquest.
Ghost Trick: After he's struck by the meteorite fragment, Yomiel's body becomes trapped in stasis at the moment right before his death. Wounds heal instantly, hair doesn't grow, and he's neither truly alive or truly dead. Even after he's reunited with his body he feels a crushing sense of isolation from the rest of humanity that eventually drives him to seek mindless revenge on everyone involved with his death.
The epic spell Entropic Husk from the first Neverwinter Nights 2 expansion annihilates the target's soul, leaving nothing but a body that randomly attacks whatever comes near it.
Akachi from the same game is nothing but an empty shell of hunger. Myrkul, his former god, had his soul destroyed to the point where there was nothing left of him but a sense of emptiness.
In Tales of Symphonia you see the normally sweet Friend to All Living Things Chosen One Colette become this when her heart and memories are sacrificed as the last part of the World Regeneration. This doesn't last long thanks to her Love Interest being a Determinator.
Furthermore, the Big Bad's plan to end discrimination involves killing half of the world's population and turning the other have into "Lifeless Beings" (AKA: This).
This happens fairly rapidly to Kohak Hearts in Tales of Hearts. The first half of the game is getting her emotions back. After that... other things happen. She doesn't even fight in battle until you get back her courage.
Canas's brothers from Fire Emblem 7 apparently became this due to incidents with dark magic.
Canas: ...Unfortunately, the darkness took my brothers... They live...and breathe... their eyes open and close... But...they do not move. And they do not speak.
And in the same game, Bramimond takes this just about as far, but no in the same way. He basically gave up his soul for the power to fight dragons and now he simply reflects the soul of whoever is in front of him. While dark may not be evil it most certainly is not a toy
Fire Emblem the Sacred Stones has two tragic instances of this. Emperor Vigarde of Grado died and was revived via dark magic, as was the wife of the traitor to the good guys, Orson, who defected after it was promised his dear Monica would be revived. Sadly, Emperor Vigarde is a husk that barely resembles the persona of the man he once was, and Orson basically gets a zombie version of Monica who can only say the word "Darling...", and she apparently has started to decay so much by the time you slay said traitor that the good guys give her a Mercy Kill. As a further tragic note, even after "getting Monica back", Orson realized on some level his wife was actually still dead, and trying to maintain the illusion her zombified shell was the original drove him completely insane.
The Horned Girl from Baroque is an Empty Shell, who, lacking any thoughts of her own, instead repeats aloud the thoughts of those that try to speak to her.
In Persona 4, Mitsuo Kubo's Inner Shadow is a Nietzsche Wannabe Empty Shell. Since his Shadow is as much a "true self" as the shadows of your other party members were their own "true selves", it implies that Mitsuo is driven by the subconscious fear that he is insignificant and will never amount to anything. As a first for the game, Mitsuo is unable to see through his own delusions of grandeur and own up to his own insecurities, unlike your party members, and his Shadow simply dies as a result.
Maria from Gears of War 2 is like this when you "rescue" her after she's been tortured, starved, and mutilated by the Locust. Dom euthanizes her.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has a case similar to Kairi from Kingdom Hearts above with Princess Zelda. Her soul is separated from her body in the very beginning of the game and finding and saving said body, before the Sealed Evil in a Can can use Demonic Possession on it is one of the main goals.
Romani in Majora's Mask becomes one of these if she gets captured and Mind Raped by the aliens.
Happens to Zelda in Twilight Princess after she sacrifices herself to save Midna. Ganondorf possesses her body for the first of the Final Boss fights.
In Baldurs Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Imoen becomes temporarily like this after having her soul mostly drained, with an additional aggressive streak. She gets better after having her soul returned.
Blaz Blue Setting Material Collection establishes v-13 as one of these. The personality seen in-game is contained entirely in the Murakumo Unit, her armor.
Noel Vermilion was created as an Empty Shell. Her Murakumo unit "tempering" was interrupted, allowing her to develop a personality, albeit a very weak and passive one.
Fate Stay Night. Shirou is revealed to be a borderline case in the Unlimited Blade Works scenario, due to losing his self-perception in a childhood trauma. He has no real desires or goals of his own, instead latching onto his savior's ideal of 'saving everybody', and is only able to feel happiness when someone else is happy. He also uses this lack of self as both the concept and fuel for his Reality Marble...An empty field, surrounded by flames, with only himself and an infinite number of weapons
It Gets Worse in Heaven's Feel. After receiving Archer's arm, he can use it to greatly enhance his power, but each time he does so, his body is warped into a physical embodiment of his Reality Marble...turning his body into steel, and erasing his mind. If he does this too much, he is reduced to a mindless automaton, his body pierced from the inside by all an infinite number of swords that creak and moan with every step, and the only thing left of his personality is the single-minded desire to save the woman he loves. he does so, and he simply...stops.
In Tsukihime, Akiha ends up like this in her Normal Ending.
Mass Effect: The Reapers control their victims through a process called indoctrination. Prolonged exposure to Reapers or certain Reaper artifacts Mind Rapes you, eroding your brain until you are a perfect servant of the Reapers, incapable of doing anything the Reapers haven't told you to do. Victims are used as sleeper agents or turned into Husks. Ultimately, they are abandoned to starve when the Reapers return to dark space or repurposed as a slave race. The Collectors are Protheans turned into a slave race.
This is what happens to Beatrice as a result of the end of Ep4 in Umineko no Naku Koro ni. It isn't until the beginning of Ep5 that we actually see the effects, though. Basically, she is incapable of doing anything by herself and sits there with a lifeless expression on her face for a good chunk of the game. Massive Ship Teasing ensued.
The Tranquil from Dragon Age: Origins. If mage apprentices are too afraid to go through the Harrowing, the final test to see if they are worthy of becoming full-fledged Circle mages, they can instead choose to have their connection to the Fade severed. This removes their ability to perform magic and along with it any threat they might pose due to uncontrolled magic. Since the Fade is the realm of dreams and spirit the process also robs the Tranquil of their ability to feel. They can't even feel fear when the Circle is overrun by Abominations; though one does mention that he would prefer not to die. That's the closest thing to an emotion that any Tranquil expresses in the game.
If you speak with Owain during the mage origin, however, he argues (well, states) that Tranquil are closer really to The Spock. In his own words, he does not currently believe that being incapable of emotion lessens his worth as a human being, and even though he has no drives or ambition any more he isn't incapable of acting on his own.
In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, this is what happens to humans who fall victim to Zelenin's song, becoming unable to do anything but praise God mindlessly. In the Lawful route, this is the fate of all of mankind (or, at least, those who aren't destroyed by the Schwarzwelt wave for not being "worthy" enough): singing God's praises for all eternity, in perfect and absolute harmony, with no emotion, no conflict, no creativity, and no life.
The end result of being a Zuul captive in Sword of the Stars. The Zuul systematically Mind Rape their victims with their Psychic Powers, ripping their knowledge, memories, thoughts, and eventually their very identities from the victims' minds and leaving them catatonic husks. Even partial exposure is often enough to cause either this trope or simply turning into a gibbering wreck with all of their memories and knowledge jumbled up and full of holes.
In the bad ending of Shadow Hearts Covenant, Yuri ends up like this as a result of the Mistletoe curse finally devouring his soul and his memories. He is taken under Roger's care after that.
Starcraft: The victims of the Terran Dominion's neural resocialization, a brainwashing process to create new soldiers, would be considered this, or at the least Extreme Doormats. According to the wiki, the minds of a resocialized person are described by telepaths as being "fuzzy" and lacking the depth of personality found in ordinary humans, possess little to no initiative, and will shift loyalties if their commander does so as well.
Knights of the Old Republic II: The entire crew of Darth Nihilus' flagship, The Ravager are like this from having their life energy, willpower and sense of self drained by Nihilus' presence. They are incapable of individual thought, speech or anything outside of their task on board the ship, which they perform like lifeless mechanical drones. On board the ship, your character encounters Colonel Tobin, the Smug Snake who shot down your freighter earlier in the game, this time as an eerie, zombie-like man at the edge of his sanity, just from being on Nihilus' ship for a few days.
Alice: Madness Returns has Dr. Bumby creating children out of this for prostitution.
Oichi in the third game of the Sengoku Basara series verges between this and Extreme Doormat. Her mind appears to be mostly gone as she speaks entirely in Ironic Nursery Tunes and Word Salad which makes her sound like she's asleep, she has no opinions or drives any more apart from what she picks up from others, and she seems mostly unaware of her surroundings. If it hadn't been for the demonic hands dragging her body along like a puppet, she probably wouldn't even be mobile.
The Twins in Nie R are claimed to be this, being soulless automatons, though given their rather emotional final moments, it's probably not true.
From the Touhou series we have Koishi Komeiji, a member of the mind-reading satori species. Having grown tired of the resentment people felt towards her, Koishi closed her mind-reading third eye, which had the unintended side-effect of sealing away her own conscious mind. Completely devoid of thought or emotion, she now spends her time wandering around in a trance-like stupor, acting on whatever unconscious impulse happens to strike her at the time.
In Baten Kaitos Origins, talking to NPCs in Tarazed reveals that the trauma of losing your wings can lead to this.
Maiev in World of Warcraft claims to have become this after the death of Illidan because, as Illidan put it, the huntress is nothing without the hunt.
In Dark Souls Undead that have lost all their humanity turn into mindless hollows, which usually come in two flavors; Ax Crazy or huddled in a corner crying. This is also the fate of Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight after a thousand years of burning alive in the Kiln.
Web Comics / Web Original
In DMFA, if a fae actually biologically has a child with any non-fae, the result is an empty husk that dies on their 21st birthday. This is because there can only be a certain number of fae at any one time, and to make a new fae an old one must decide to die.
Recently, Nessiah has been like this in Dept Heaven Apocrypha. It's not the straightest example, as the state was intentionally induced through a heavy cocktail of sedatives; the idea being that his massive mental trauma can only be repaired by slowly nursing him back to sanity as the drugs wear off.
Such is the fate of anyone who touches and then releases SCP-963. (Hanging onto the amulet just turns you into Dr. Bright.)
The children in Shell become "empty little egg shells" when they see the Eldritch Abomination.
In El Goonish Shive, possession by a body snatcher aberration seems to result in the original person becoming this.
In M.C.A. Hogarth's Jokka stories, this is the inevitable fate of females. Jokka males and females risk "Mind Death" if they become overheated or stressed, losing all ability to reason. Males can avoid this by taking care to avoid pushing themselves, females can't avoid the stress of childbirth however. Every birth runs increasing risk of inducing further senility for the mother, until their mind is completely gone.
The Nostalgia Critic's Heroic BSODs are frequently going into this territory more and more as time goes on. He always manages to crawl his way out of it so he can continue life, but the implications are nasty considering how Hot-Blooded he usually is.
Zombunny of an early 1990s TV show Dr. Zitbag's Transylvania Pet Shop is a zombified rabbit who never seems to move. None the less, this has never stopped Dr. Zitbag from using Zombunny to mind the pet shop, baby sit, or perform other tasks he's clearly incapable of performing. The running gag is that Zombunny always manages to succeed through the power of doing nothing.
The alternate universe of the Justice Lords in Justice League has Well-Intentioned Extremist Superman using his heat vision to perform crude lobotomies on Batman's most dangerous criminals and, now barely above mindless zombies, placed in Arkham Asylums. It's truly disconcerting when the group meet the lobotomized Joker in an abnormally calm and docile state but heartbreaking when the Flash happens to encounter the lobotomized version of Poison Ivy, who now has no signs of her former ambitions and no longer cares what happens to the world and its plants. Even though they were villains, the ruthless lengths the alternate Superman was willing to go through to maintain order places him squarely in Moral Event Horizon territory (if he hadn't already crossed it in his first appearance already).
This was what apparently happened to Gorilla Grodd in his first appearance after Flash "crossed a few wires" in his mind control helmet and tricked him into using it. This fried his brain and turns him into a brain dead vegetable. But Grodd not only recovered from this, but no longer needed the helmet to control minds.
Dr. Destiny also ended up like this after overdosing on sleeping medicine and overexposure to the dream machine. In his last appearance in the show, he is lying in Blackgate's hospital, comatose with his eyes open and humming "Frere Jaques".
In Drawn Together, Spanky Ham justifies his and his housemates' killing of the staff of Entertainment Weekly by stating that working in cubicles has made them already "dead inside".
Curiously averted in the concept of a philosophical zombie, a creature in a thought experiment that has no soul/mind/internal experience but acts exactly as if it does, eg. exactly like a person. See also: Zombies: The Movie.
Some portrayals show modern office settings as this, essentially people becoming cogs in the machine and slowly losing emotion in their lives. Whether or not this is accurate is up to the individual.
Prisoners can become like this after long periods of solitary confinement.
Severe cases of Broken Birds can end up as this.
There are two types of Wild Children or feral kids: those who have lived isolated from human contact brought up by animals and those who live in complete isolation due to Abusive Parents. This becomes a major Tear Jerker because unlike the former, who at least have the care and attention of animals to keep them company, the latter are completely and totally isolated from any form of contact whatsoever, causing them to become severally developmentally disabled and withdraw into themselves. A particularly bad case was Dani, a young girl who was locked in her room and deprived of human interaction for the first 7 years of her life, wallowing in her own feces and with only cockroaches for company. When finally rescued by child services, she had a perpetual Thousand-Yard Stare, did not react to heat or cold or even pain, didn't respond to hugs or affection, and couldn't even use her hands. Although she is improving from her care, it makes one wonder how such neglect of basic needs can deprive the part of makes people human.
If you lie in the bed, in dark, silence and deprived of any other stimulus for long enough, you can lose your sense of self.

even though build success but still wana know why i am getting this error.

A: You probably have some TypeScript files which you didn't exclude. Their presence launches TypeScript sensor which requires Nodejs >=6.
So you should either exclude TypeScript files as well or update your Node

Species and individual differences in juvenile female alloparental care are associated with oxytocin receptor density in the striatum and the lateral septum.
The neuropeptide oxytocin has been implicated in the regulation of affiliative behavior and maternal responsiveness in several mammalian species. Rodent species vary considerably in the expression of juvenile alloparental behavior. For example, alloparental behavior is spontaneous in juvenile female prairie voles (approximately 20 days of age), takes 1-3 days of pup exposure to develop in juvenile rats, and is nearly absent in juvenile mice and meadow voles. Here, we tested the hypothesis that species differences in pup responsiveness in juvenile rodents are associated with oxytocin receptor (OTR) density in specific brain regions. We found that OTR density in the nucleus accumbens (NA) is highest in juvenile prairie voles, intermediate in juvenile rats, and lowest in juvenile mice and meadow voles. In the caudate putamen (CP), OTR binding was highest in prairie voles, intermediate in rats and meadow voles, and lowest in mice. In contrast, the lateral septum (LS) shows an opposite pattern, with OTR binding being high in mice and meadow voles and low in prairie voles and rats. Thus, alloparental responsiveness in juvenile rodents is positively correlated with OTR density in the NA and CP and negatively correlated with OTR density in the LS. We then investigated whether a similar receptor-behavior relationship exists among juvenile female prairie voles by correlating individual variation in alloparental behavior with variation in OTR density. The time spent adopting crouching postures, the most distinctive component of alloparental behavior in juveniles, was positively correlated with OTR density in the NA (r = 0.47) and CP (r = 0.45) and negatively correlated with OTR density in the lateral septum (r = -0.53). Thus, variation in OTR density in the NA, CP, and LS may underlie both species and individual differences in alloparental care in rodents.

This week, the PUCO filed a settlement agreement in the long disputed and very contentious FirstEnergy Power Purchase Agreement case. In short, this arrangement proposes an income guarantee paid by all consumers to FirstEnergy for uncompetitive aging power plants. AEP Ohio has made a similar request to the PUCO and a settlement filing on that request is imminent.
There is little doubt these arrangements, if approved by the PUCO commissioners, will increase delivery costs significantly from FirstEnergy and AEP Ohio. There is no way to avoid this new increase which means more emphasis and attention will be put on energy programs that can reduce your energy costs.
To that end, I have identified the top initiatives that can reduce your electricity spend in an effort to help offset this new PPA rider charge. However, all manufacturers, regardless of utility, should consider these top-rated cost-reducing strategies.
The wholesale electricity market is at all-time lows going all the way out until 2020. Look now to renew your current agreements and your supply rate will likely go down. Also, if your current contract does not expire for a year or so and you consume at least 8,000 MWh, some suppliers will consider a "blend and extend" arrangement. This will allow you to immediately receive a lower rate by extending the term of your agreement.
Enrollment season has begun for Curtailment Service Providers signing up customers for participation into the PJM program. This program will pay your facility for reducing consumption when the grid is stressed to meet demand. Generally speaking the payments are around $30,000 per MW reduced and would be available for customers with a reduction of least 200 kW. The money gained from this program can be a great way to fund your next energy efficiency project.
3. Did someone say energy efficiency?
I recently went to an energy conference where a panel of manufacturers was discussing the adoption of energy efficiency projects in their plants. One company that has been very successful with this initiative said that many of their energy efficiency projects were rejected ten times before finally gaining traction with their leadership team. Projects are out there and the economics can be enhanced through utility rebates. Keep looking, be tenacious with your leadership, and keep talking with experts who can help you quantify the benefits to "sell" the project internally.
They say "seeing is believing" and it couldn't be more true than in your electricity consumption profile. How much you use and when you use it is a huge driver in your electricity rate from your supplier and the delivery cost from the utility. Is your equipment operating when and how you think? You will not know unless you look for anomalies in the data. This can be a great way to discover operational inefficiencies that you did not know exist.
Demand charges that are required to be paid all year based on a few peak hours can be very costly. These charges can be in the form of a ratchet in utility tariffs or capacity charges from your supplier based on your Peak Load Contribution. Quantify how much these peak hours are costing your company and brainstorm ways to reduce them without sacrificing production. This cost awareness can go a long way in making positive changes to reduce peak demand which will in turn reduce your total energy spend.


And is usually more, gooder, better, its the connector from my computer feel good to type on. You could take out GeForce 6200 LE on a new keyboard and mouse. Also it seems to happen i managed to restore all of Doc in my PC. Hope someone had an Nvidia GeForce century or anything.

Knight of Love by Catherine LaRoche
Amazing new author for me! I loved this strong heroine and how she stand on her own feet and insists she doesn't need a gallant hero! Poor lovesick Wolf! He's a strong alpha male who insists Lenora is a "damsel in distress" and he's the "Knight of Love" to save her! This is a break from the traditional Historical Romances. This heroine will go to great links to save her hero!!
I received this book from the publisher and Netgalley for an honest review.
In this saucy romance, an English lady turns the damsel-in-distress tale on its head as she escapes her malicious fiancé and fights for both her life and that of the lustful rebel that has become her protector.
Lady Lenora Trevelyan, a naïve yet stubborn young lady born to the highest noble houses of England and Germany, finds herself betrothed to the brutal Prince Kurt von Rotenburg-Gruselstadt. But after she is cruelly bruised and flogged by her fiancé, she decides to take the reins of her fate. In the midst of a German revolution, Lenora escapes Kurt's iron fist and embarks home to England. She quickly finds herself in the hands of a rebel group and their robust, gentle, and handsome leader, Wolfram von Wolfsbach und Ravensworth, the English Earl of Ravensworth.
Lenora struggles to deny the passion she feels towards the frustratingly chivalrous Earl, but her desire for him continues to bloom. Wolfram hungers for nothing other than to fight for democracy and civil rights in uniting Germany and to protect what he assumes is his damsel in distress. Through nights of immeasurable pleasure, Lenora and Wolfram learn that their passion is no match for the revolutionary chaos that ensues. And when Lenora discovers that her protector's life is threatened, she must risk everything to save her Knight of Love.

Over the weekend, I got to pick up my first ever community-supported agriculture share at the farmers market. I don't belong to a CSA, but my coworker was going to be out of town and couldn't pick up her box so she offered to let me pick it up instead.
The way her CSA works is that she pays some amount of money in the beginning of the season and each week a local farmer bags her a bunch of his freshest produce. The contents of the box differ each week depending on what's in season, but there's always a good haul.
Like most CSA programs, her money goes directly to the farmer, cutting out the middle man. Her produce also travels a shorter distance and is grown organically, hugely reducing her carbon footprint.
It's been fun trying to figure out what to do with all the food. I gave some back to my coworker because there was no way I could eat it all myself. She says she and her finance make a game out of it every week to see what new recipes they can try.
Is the cost worth it/realistic for me?
Will I be able to eat all the produce and if not, what will I do with leftovers?
Do I like to cook and think of new things to do with food?
Am I the type of person who can deal with getting random produce each week or do I prefer to hand select what I'm getting?
Local Harvest is a great resource to find more information about CSAs, to find farmers near you and to help determine if a CSA program would work for your lifestyle.
Do you take part in a CSA or have you ever considered it?


Move by Asmara comes after Addis Ababa said it will comply with peace deal and withdraw from contested border regions.
Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki said the East African country will dispatch a delegation to Addis Ababa to "gauge current developments" in the region following peace overtures from Ethiopia's new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
"We will send a delegation to [Addis Ababa] to gauge current developments directly and in depth as well as to chart out a plan for continuous future action," Isaias said on Wednesday during a speech in Eritrea.
"The events and developments that have unfolded in our region in general and in Ethiopia in particular in the recent period warrant appropriate attention," he added.
Addis Ababa announced on June 5 that it will fully accept the terms of a peace agreement with Asmara in a major step towards calming deadly tensions with its decades-long rival.
"The suffering on both sides is unspeakable because the peace process is deadlocked. This must change for the sake of our common good," Fitsum Arega, the chief of staff for the Ethiopian prime minister's office, said early this month.


I'm Justine and I'm from the sunshine state of Florida. I received my Occupational Therapy Assistant degree from Remington College in Orlando, FL. I am married to a United States Marine, which brought my twin girls and son to North Carolina. Immediately, the Pediatric world and therapy fell into my heart. It is with great pleasure to work with such amazing children and families that fill my heart with joy.


The Presidio Trust in partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy hired QuarryHouse to build a network of scenic overlooks and vistas throughout the Presidio. For Inspiration Point, Crissy Field, and Immigrant Point Overlooks, the stonemasons constructed low stone seat walls and radial cut stone paving. A massive stone bollard marks the entrance to Immigrant Point from the Juan Batista de Anza trail. Stone walls frame the National Cemetery Overlook inscribed with lines from an Archibald MacLeish poem, "The Young Dead Soldiers." The overlooks provide visitors with spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay, Pacific, and the Presidio forest.


I ran down the partial list in my head and realized they were all there. As I began to observe his life and how he interacted with others, as well as how wonderfully he always treated me, I decided that there could really be something here.
As I prayed about it, I felt like God gave me permission to pursue it. And now, after nearly four years of marriage I am so glad I followed God's leading.
I decided that I wanted nothing less than God's best for me. It means if you have doubts about the relationship, if your significant other doesn't treat you with the upmost respect, if you argue more than you get along, if you constantly find yourself defending him or her to your friends, then end it.
Later on, when I prayed about the possibility of marriage, God answered that prayer clearly too. It's not that my husband and I never disagree, or that we do not get on each other's nerves periodically, but married life is so much simpler when you know that this is the person that God led you to.
With that in mind, we know God will see us through whatever difficulties we face in the future.
It was after this that God began unfolding the events that led me to start dating Matt, the man that would become my husband.
We had met in college and built a solid friendship through the years, but I had not considered him in a romantic way (although he repeatedly let me know that he was somewhat interested in me).
His job often seemed more important to him than our relationship, and he would repeatedly put friends or family before me.
For someone whose "love language" is spending quality time together, that was a major issue.

Q: assigning a kubernetes ingress to a specific node Is there a way to assign the ingress to a specific node?
I know that it is possible to assign a pod to a specific node using nodeSelectors but that is not a valid option for ingress pods according to the spec.

A: Ingress is just a logical way to represent how to route traffic to service/pod. Regarding the question, Ingress Controller might be the right term on which you should check instead.
Read more here: ingress controller. There's a possible chance Ingress Controller pod can be assigned to specific node.

A: Hard to say. Ingress only works, if any of your nodes has an ingress controller, like nginx or traefik. Defining an ingress using the Ingress resource doesn't implicitly addresses a target node. Instead of this, you can create your ingress controller using nodeSelector, what makes sure, that these nodes definitely are connected to the services.
If you want to exclude other ingress controllers, you should annotate your ingress controllers and match them with annotations on ingress, like
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: example-ingress-zone1
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "zone1"
spec:

(check out source)
Then you can match specific ingress controllers, which are in a zone to use the ingress on selected nodes

Conducting International Business? Check This Out First:
Culture is a tricky thing. It can be hard enough to do business in your country, let alone to strike deals across international borders, where whole new minefields of unspoken assumptions, pregnant gestures, and deeply held beliefs await. Last May, I spoke with author and INSEAD professor Erin Meyer about the challenges of cross-cultural recruiting, but working with people from other cultures in any capacity poses its own unique challenges.
Luckily, today's business people don't have to go blindly into the international market. They have the benefit of extensive sociocultural research on their side, not to mention interactive tools like Towergate Insurance's "Cultural Guide to International Business." Created by digital marketing and SEO agency Builtvisible — the same company responsible for the Small Business Skills Challenge we reported on in November — the "Cultural Guide" uses data collected from 101 countries around the world by the Hofstede Centre, as well as input from author and interculturalist Chris Smit, to create a visual representation of the national cultural differences that are relevant to international business.
The "Cultural Guide" measures countries along six metrics, also developed by the Hofstede Centre:
Power Distance: how willing are people with no power to accept the unequal spread of power in their country?
Individualism: are individuals loyal to themselves first and foremost, or do they put the group ahead of themselves?
Masculinity: despite the title of this metric, it's not strictly a measurement of gender differences. Rather, it measures "the extent to which people value the achievement of goals and the importance of status over the process of goal achievement." In other words: are people mostly goal-oriented ("masculine"), or do they place more value on the process that leads to achieving the goal ("feminine")?
Uncertainty Avoidance: do the people of the country prefer to avoid the unknown via strict rules and regulations, or do they handle ambiguity well and rely less on rigid, codes and structures? Do people take risks or play it safe?
Pragmatism: are people practical and future-oriented, or do they take a more normative approach to the world, preferring to focus on the present?
Indulgence: do people value (and indulge in) leisure and self-expression, or do they prefer restraint and strict social norms? (It should be noted that the "Cultural Guide" calls this metric controversial and speculative, as much of the data used to measure it is incomplete.)
Countries are measured on a 100-point scale in each metric; lower numbers mean lower scores in a given metric, and higher numbers mean higher scores. Explanations of each metric also include example characteristics of countries and implications for business in those countries, depending on a country's scores. For example, the tool states that people in countries with high individualism scores tend to be more task-oriented; people in countries with low pragmatism scores tend to value and respect tradition. Likewise, when doing business in countries with low masculinity scores, the tool says it's better to reach for compromise than to go for confrontation; when working with businesses in a high power distance country, people need to respect the chain of command.
More useful than checking out each country's individual scores — fascinating as that may be — is using the tool to compare two countries with one another. A user can choose their country and compare it with a country in which they plan on doing business. The tool then generates a chart that shows the overlap (and differences) between each country and the scores of each country in each metric. Here's an example comparison between the U.S. and Bulgaria:
Olivia Wiltshire, digital executive at Builtvisibile, says she hopes people will be able to use this tool as means to help them more successfully and confidently enter into business with companies in other countries.
"For example, the guide has the capability of informing the user whether a country has a high level of masculinity or not," Wiltshire explains. "If a country is masculine, then making decisions — even if they are bad decisions — is seen as better than making no decision at all. Knowing this sort of cultural information before entering business with this country will therefore help you [mold] your approach and perhaps even adapt your strategy before opening up business conversations or beginning meetings."
Wiltshire says the guide should be beneficial to businesses of all size, entrepreneurs, "and even people [who are] just starting up."
"Ultimately, I think the information in this guide is something to take note of – especially if these people are looking to go global or do business in/with different countries," Wiltshire says. "At the same time, I think this guide is also a useful tool for anyone interested in becoming more culturally aware."

Rth 2:1 - And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Rth 2:2 - And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Rth 2:3 - And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
Rth 2:4 - And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
Rth 2:5 - Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Rth 2:7 - And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Rth 2:9 - Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Rth 2:10 - Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Rth 2:11 - And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Rth 2:12 - The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
Rth 2:13 - Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
Rth 2:14 - And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
Rth 2:16 - And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
Rth 2:17 - So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Rth 2:18 - And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
Rth 2:19 - And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
Rth 2:20 - And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
Rth 2:21 - And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Rth 2:22 - And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Rth 2:23 - So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.


Due for release at the end of September, The Answer's upcoming new album, "New Horizon", should please both fans of old and new. Produced by Toby Jepson (Little Angels) and mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica), "New Horizon" is the killer sound of rock and roll all revved up and ready to go! With the soon-to-be released "New Horizon" making it album number four for these Northern Irish rockers (time flies when you're having fun after all!), if they weren't a household name before this album then The Answer should be shortly! Here we are looking at a 4-piece band that is all dolled up and ready for the party to begin. All that's needed is an eager listening audience that's been craving real rock and roll. If that sounds like you then have no worries. Your appetite will soon be taken care of seeing as The Answer's upcoming LP reads like a how to manual on the proper way to create a real rock and roll album! Simply put "New Horizon" sounds like a down-right killer rock and roll album so if you're looking to add a new name to your collection then look no further. As "New Horizon" unveils itself for the listener in such a smooth fashion it comes across as more of a long lost classic rock album than one assembled in 2013! And that's not easy folks! As for the four guys behind this album you might be asking? Well, guitarist Paul Mahon, whose father was a renowned jazz trumpeter in his native Ireland, actually formed The Answer back in 2000, but it would take a little while before the group's first-album would be released. That's getting a bit ahead of ourselves though so let's get back to how guitarist Paul Mahon first put this group together. Enlisting his school chum Micky Waters as a bassist, the band would soon enough be rounded out by the talented lead vocals of Cormac Neeson and the mad drumming skills of James Heatley. With Paul Mahon providing the same sort of lead guitar solos that made rock and roll so dangerous to the establishment to begin with (in other words his guitar playing is crafted from the spirits of bands like Cream and Deep Purple as well as artists like Jimi Hendrix) and bassist Micky Waters burning the house down with some meaty riffs it was pretty obvious from the start that this 4-piece had good things in store for the listening public. For whatever reason though it did take a little time before they were able to pull-off a studio release. The band's 2006 debut album, "Rise", (which has yet to see an official release here in the US oddly enough) was certainly a long-time coming, but it proved to be more than worth the wait! "Rise" would end up on the receiving end of almost universal praise as would it's follow-up, 2009's "Everyday Demons". When it came down to the group's last album, 2011's "Revival", it was pretty much the same deal as the band's classic rock-tinged hard rock had appealed to those longing for the good old days when rock and roll was more about sound and less about image. With "New Horizon" it's more of the same, which isn't a bad deal at all when you're talking about rock and roll like this, only this time around it seems much more refined as if The Answer has just about perfected their own individual sound! The group's influences, which run from A (AC/DC) to Z (Zeppelin), seem less noticeable on their forth album as if these four guys are finally taping into their own groove. Even if their potent brand of heavy rock/hard rock might still point an approving figure towards the likes of Thin Lizzy it's more as if The Answer is just acknowledging their roots then rehashing them. In the end "New Horizon" makes for a great listen. It's that plain and simple and, as such, it's a no-brainer for both fans of The Answer and those people who are always on the lookout for that old-fashioned, well-loved rock and roll sound! And speaking of which, this new album will be well-loved and duly appreciated by yours truly as it finds a way into my stereos heavy rotation section!

George McGuigan, né le  à Northallerton (Angleterre), est un joueur de rugby à XV anglo-irlandais. Il évolue au poste de talonneur au sein de l'effectif de Gloucester Rugby.

Biographie

Jeunesse et formation
George McGuigan est né de parents d'origine irlandaise.

Il joue pour la première fois au rugby à la Richmond High School, avant de rejoindre la ville de Newcastle pour étudier à la  où il continue de pratiquer son sport. Il rejoint le programme de l'académie des Newcastle Falcons, qui permet de joindre les études et la formation sportive pour les jeunes joueurs après 16 ans.

Carrière professionnelle

Débuts avec les Newcastle Falcons
McGuigan signe pour l'équipe professionnelle de Newcastle Falcons et commence à jouer pour eux en 2013. Mais, il s'entraîne avec les professionnels dès l'âge de 18 ans, il évoque des débuts très difficiles avec les séniors, ces derniers voulant savoir ce de quoi McGuigan est capable et le poussent à bout lors des entraînements.

Lors de sa première saison professionnelle, il prend part à 18 rencontres en championnat d'Angleterre 2013-2014 dont une en tant que titulaire. Le 4 février 2014, il signe une prolongation de contrat de deux années jusqu'à l'été 2016.

La saison suivante, il joue moins de matchs que lors de l'exercice précédent, seulement 11 matchs de championnat.

En 2015-2016, il prend part à 26 rencontres, dont 13 comme titulaire, toutes compétitions confondues et s'impose donc comme le numéro deux à ce poste de talonneur.

Départ aux Leicester Tigers
En février 2016, étant en fin de contrat avec Newcastle, il signe avec le club de Leicester Tigers pour la saison 2016-2017. Pour sa première saison avec Leicester, il est le deuxième talonneur du club derrière Tom Youngs, il prend part à 20 rencontres de Premiership dont 5 comme titulaire. Cette même saison, il remporte la Coupe anglo-galloise en étant titulaire en finale contre Exeter.

Après une blessure au nez, il rate la majeure partie de la saison 2017-2018. À la suite de cette saison quasi blanche, il fait son départ de Leicester.

Retour à Newcastle
Le 21 avril 2018, il signe de nouveau un contrat avec son ancien club de Newcastle pour la saison 2018-2019. Il s'impose comme le titulaire de son club dès son retour, prenant part à 25 matchs dont 19 comme titulaire, en championnat ainsi qu'en Coupe d'Europe. Malheureusement, les Falcons terminent à la dernière place du classement et sont relégués en RFU Championship pour la saison prochaine.

McGuigan reste chez les Falcons et aide son club à remonter en Premiership, il inscrit 10 essais en 10 rencontres, en remportant le championnat de 2e division 2019-2020.

Pour cette saison, de retour en Premiership, Newcastle et McGuigan parviennent à se maintenir et terminent à la  place. Il inscrit notamment six essais sur les cinq dernières journées de championnat, où le club remporte trois de ces cinq rencontres.

Lors de la saison 2021-2022, McGuigan inscrit 18 essais en 28 matchs toutes compétitions confondues, dont 15 en Premiership terminant deuxième meilleur marqueur d'essais de la saison  à égalité avec , derrière les 16 essais de Max Malins. Durant cette saison, au mois de mars, il a notamment inscrit un triplé contre les Wasps, après d'autres bonnes performances de sa part il est élu Joueur du mois de mars du Championnat d'Angleterre.

Il commence la saison 2022-2023, toujours dans la peau d'un titulaire du club à son poste, il prend part à 10 rencontres sur les 12 premières journées de Premiership et inscrit 7 essais. Ce sont ses derniers matchs avec les Falcons avant de rejoindre Gloucester en décembre.

Signature à Gloucester Rugby
Le club de Gloucester Rugby annonce la signature de McGuigan avec effet immédiat, le 12 décembre 2022, pour venir pallier la blessure de Jack Singleton qui s'est blessé gravement à la jambe, de plus, il signe un contrat longue durée avec son nouveau club. Le club d'Exeter a également tenté de le recruter pour la saison suivante. Il joue ses deux premières rencontres en tant que remplaçant de Santiago Socino, puis à la suite de la blessure de ce dernier, il devient titulaire pour la première fois contre les Saracens. Lors de la  journée de Champions Cup, il est de nouveau titulaire et inscrit ses deux premiers essais avec son nouveau club, un doublé décisif qui aide Gloucester à s'imposer sur le score de 26 à 17 chez l'Union Bordeaux Bègles et à se qualifier pour les huitièmes de finale de la compétition, tout en éliminant son adversaire du jour de cette dernière.

En équipe nationale

Équipes d'Irlande de jeunes
En vertu de la nationalité irlandaise de ses parents, il peut donc être sélectionné avec les sélections irlandaises de jeunes.

En 2010, l' le sélectionne, après avoir passé des essais avec succès.

Il est sélectionné par l'équipe d'Irlande des moins de 20 ans pour participer au Tournoi des Six Nations des moins de 20 ans 2013. Le  février 2013, il fait ses débuts contre le pays de Galles dans cette compétition. Il est de nouveau sélectionné par cette équipe pour participer au Championnat du monde junior 2013. Il dispute finalement neuf rencontres avec cette sélection.

McGuigan indique avoir eu des contacts avec le sélectionneur de l'Irlande, Joe Schmidt, avant la Coupe du monde 2015, mais depuis, il n'en a pas eu de nouveaux de la part de l'Irlande.

En équipe d'Angleterre
Étant né en Angleterre, il peut être sélectionné par ce pays également.

L'équipe d'Angleterre A, la réserve du XV de la rose, le sélectionne en 2016 pour participer à la tournée d'été en Afrique du Sud. Il joue deux rencontres comme remplaçant avec cette équipe.

En juin 2022, il est appelé par Eddie Jones pour rejoindre l'équipe d'Angleterre qui prépare sa tournée contre les Wallabies en Australie, toutefois, il ne dispute pas de rencontres durant cette tournée. Il est de nouveau retenu avec l'Angleterre pour les tests de fin d'année, mais il ne dispute toujours pas de matchs avec cette équipe.

Le nouveau sélectionneur de l'Angleterre, Steve Borthwick, le sélectionne pour disputer le Tournoi des Six Nations 2023 le 16 janvier 2023. Toutefois, il déclare forfait la semaine suivante à la suite d'une blessure au genou, ce qui compromet sa présence pour la première journée contre l'Écosse.

Each year, the vernal equinox signals the beginning of spring (in the Northern hemisphere). So what determines the date of the vernal equinox?
Technically speaking, the vernal equinox occurs on the day when the Earth's axis (which is tilted by 23.5°) is pointed neither towards nor away from the Sun. The Sun will appear directly centered over the Earth's equator. Put simply, however, the length of the day and night are nearly equal, hence the term equinox. Therefore, after the vernal equinox, the days will be longer than the nights, signaling the beginning of spring. Typically the equinox occurs on March 20th or 21st.
The Earth's spin axis is not fixed in direction, however. It actually wobbles about its axis, much like a top. It takes our planet about 26,000 years to complete one "wobble". This has some interesting effects on the view from planet Earth. Not only will it eventually cause our beloved pole star, Polaris, to no longer remain stationary, but it also causes an effect known as the "precession of the equinoxes". This causes the point on the celestial sphere that the Sun occupies to move over the course of 26,000 years.
Lately, much ado has been made about this, as the Sun will soon appear to cross the galactic center on the winter solstice of 2012. This is pure superstition, however, and has no credible basis in real science (just see this post).
Contrary to popular belief, it is not any easier to balance on egg on the equinox than it is on any other day of the year. If you try long enough, you can balance an egg on its end any time of year. It just happens to be that more people try it on the equinox than any other time, and so the myth perpetuates.
The following table lists some upcoming equinoxes.

Hey welcome to ibm ! Catch tou on the boards!


It's been a long time since I've been to a meeting. Don't get me wrong, my addiction is still strong, and I feed it every chance I get. But I do admit that life sometimes gets in the way of getting here. But that's all going to change – I need you and you all need me. It's all about community and that's the only way we'll be able to get through this – together.
I've watched many new movies and even read a few books and stories that have kept the hunger at bay. But the major event that occurred this past week was the premiere of the fifth season of The Walking Dead on AMC. Who else watched it? What did you think?
I had to say it was the strongest season premiere in recent years and I was riveted as I watched it. Part of it was down to the fact I was getting my fix, pure and simple, but the rest of it was because the story itself really started to take off. And it was brutal – just the way you expect the end of the world to turn out!
I had a few favourite scenes, but I will admit that the one at the very end made me absolutely giddy!! I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it, but holy hell!!

A study by RenewableUK says the biggest shake-up of the energy sector for decades, Electricity Market Reform (EMR), could act as a springboard for the growth of wave and tidal energy. Alternatively, it could undermine investor confidence in marine power at a crucial stage of the industry's development. The report, "Conquering Challenges, Generating Growth", also highlights challenges such as delays in getting grid connections for wave and tidal projects, and the high cost of transmission charges.
Commercialisation of the tidal sector is just around the corner, with the deployment of the first arrays (multiple devices) beginning in 2014, and an expected increase to 100-200MW of wave and tidal installed by 2020, a point highlighted in an article by RenewableUK's Wave and Tidal Manager, David Krohn, in the upcoming March/April 2013 issue of Renewable Energy Focus (subscribe here to get your copy). However, this growth could be stifled if the Government fails to get the details of EMR right, the most crucial factor being the level of financial support technologies will receive.
The initial strike price for the first generation of tidal arrays should be set at £280-300/MWh, RenewableUK says. For wave technology, the initial strike price should be £300-320/MWh. "This will catalyse the marine energy industry, leading to economies of scale and learning through experience, which will lower the strike price for the second generation of arrays in 2018." Meantime, under EMR, contracts would only last for 15 years – the report says this should be extended to 20 years to give investors an adequate return - otherwise the strike price would have to be higher.
Based on independent research, RenewableUK estimates that wave and tidal energy could be worth £6.1bn to the UK by 2035, creating nearly 20,000 jobs – up from today's 1000 employed in these sectors.

How Gunmen Pulled Off a Daring Ambush of a Saudi Prince's Convoy in Paris
They hit the convoy in one of the few spots not covered by surveillance cameras.

Saudi Prince's Motorcade Allegedly Ambushed by Gunmen Near Paris
Authorities say suspects allegedly stole up to $300,000 in cash after prince left a luxury hotel in Paris.
— -- The armed robbers who ambushed a Saudi prince's motorcade in Paris took a car, money and embassy documents, according to French authorities investigating the case.
A group of as many as eight attackers appeared to know exactly what they were looking for when they targeted the last vehicle in the three-car convoy, containing 250,000 euros -- more than $330,000 in U.S. money -- along with Saudi embassy documents. Only the driver was traveling in the car.
The convoy of a Saudi prince was attacked in Paris, Aug. 17, 2014, by heavily armed men who stole private documents and money.
The armed assailants traveled in two BMWs and flashed guns as they moved in to attack the group near Porte de la Chapelle in the northern outskirts of the city, authorities said. The Saudi prince and his team were traveling from the hotel George V and were bound for the Paris–Le Bourget Airport when they were attacked Sunday around 9 p.m. local time, authorities said.

The action unfolded as the prince, who has not been publicly identified, sat in the first Mercedes with two bodyguards. There was a driver and two Saudi diplomats in the second car, authorities said.
The gunmen took the driver and his car without firing any shots, authorities said. The driver was later released.
The site of the incident, Porte de la Chapelle, is one of the few places in Paris not covered by surveillance cameras, which police believe the thieves meticulously planned and carried out the heist.
The stolen vehicle and one of the BMWs were found burned out near the site of the ambush in northern Paris, authorities said.
The entire heist took so little time that the Saudi prince didn't even miss his flight, authorities said.
The Saudi Embassy was not immediately available for comment on the case.
