Welcome to TimeMonsters where you can learn to read time like a pro website!
Reading time is easy with Time Monsters. The site is packed with interactive clocks, animations, quizzes, explanations on telling time not to mention the monsters...many many monsters. Learning how to tell time with Time Monsters is fun.
How Time Monsters helps you learn to read time.
At the top of the main page are three quick access pull down menus. From these menus teachers can quickly jump to the lessons and quizzes without having to access them through the icon menu at the bottom of the page. The same selections presented in these menus are available in icon form at the bottom of the main page but they are set up visually for the non-reader. The icons at the bottom of the page are laid out in a linear form so the person learning to tell time can work from left to right.
3) Visual icon menu of all lessons, quizzes, contact and cookie reset buttons.
4) The menu at the top of the yellow screen. These menus are not necessary for the child to use the Time Monsters site. The three menus sole purpose is to facilitate the teachers access for the child to any particular lesson, quiz, contact us or reset cookies option.
Children can play with the interactive clock anytime they like. They only have to move the hands and click the speaker icon below the clock to hear the spoken time. Professor Tempo will tell them what time they have set the clock to. The interactive clock on the Time Monsters main page can be reset to the computers time by clicking anywhere on the clock face. The clock will then be set to that computer's time.
Professor Tempo is the completely animated character who teaches visitors how to read time. He makes telling time amusing. Professor Tempo gives all lessons, quizzes and multiple choices on the site he is the time telling guru. Professor Tempo teaches reading time in an interesting and entertaining way. Learning time with Professor Tempo is fun. Because Professor Tempo gives all the classes on reading time and quizzes verbally, so the child does not need to know how to read to learn how to read time with the TimeMonsters.com website.
At the bottom of the main page is a row of icons containing all the time learning classes quizzes and contact information needed to learn how to tell time on the Time Monsters website. Everything needed for the child to learn how to tell time is found at the bottom of the main page.
When the users cursor goes below the dividing line the cursor becomes a magnifying glass. By momentarily placing a magnifying glass over any of the icons Professor Tempo tells a child what that icon will do if it is clicked. When the magnifying glass is left over the icon and Professor Tempo tells you what is behind it that icon if you click it and the clock blinks to show the positions talked about.
A blinking blue arrow suggests which lesson the child should follow next as he learns how to tell time. If he or she finishes each of the sections the blue arrow will move to the next appropriate lesson. Most of the lessons can be done in any order however.
The To and Past section explains which side is to and which side of the clock is past and why they are called to and past.
The hands on the clock lesson explains what the three hands on the clock are and how the hands on the clock relate to each other. That the second hand is the fastest... the minute hand takes 60 minutes to get around in an hour and that the hour hand is the slowest etc.
As a child finishes each section there is a blue arrow pointing to the various icons at the bottom indicates the one that the Time Monsters site suggests the child goes to next.
How the lessons on the Time Monsters website are laid out.
At the end of each main lesson is a multiple-choice quiz which tests the users understanding of time and reading a clock with confidence.
The one hand quiz asked the child to change just a minute hand on the watch. The hour hand is placed in the correct position in this quiz. The user has to get a questions correct to finish the quiz. When the eight questions are achieved the second quiz, but to hand quiz, automatically loads.
The two hand quiz has the same configuration and rules as the one hand quiz but the question order differs. In the two hand quiz however, both hands on the clock must be set correctly.
Throughout the site and at any time the lessons are interrupted by animated monsters of all shapes and sizes. They make learning to tell time an entertaining and fun experience. They ease the learning process. There are 10 different monsters.
When the child comes back in another time they know where they left off. As the child learns how to read the clock and finishes the lessons, the part of the clock that was just studied is filled with color.
The pies that fill the clock are also saved by cookies. Basically, the child can leave the site, turn off the computer and come back to the site at any time in the future and his/her position will be the same as it was when (s)he left.
The Time Monsters website knows when a child is visiting the site for the first time an ulterior visits.
If the child has never visited the site before Professor Tempo introduces himself and explains how to use the Time Monsters site to read time properly. If the child has already visited the website the introductory animation is skipped. Instead of the introductory animation Professor Tempo just welcomes the child back.
Teaching to Tell Time is a not easy for some to learb time.
Teaching to tell time can be a trying and tricky business to say the least. As with most learning techniques a varied and well-balanced mix of resources is a must. To learn to tell time should be made as enjoyable as possible for the child. And because teaching a child to tell time is not an easy thing...neither is learning to Tell time. The best way to teach a child to read the clock is with a variety of projects and fun challenges. Reiterating time learning concepts in various formats is the best way to help a child not to 'shut down' when learning to tell or read time.
Learning to tell time and understanding time are two different things.
Understanding time is a very abstract concept for everyone...especially children. Learning to read time is purely mathematical. To understand how to read a clock you need to understand not only about fractions, whole numbers, and their position on the clock face but you also need to have an idea of the value of time itself.
Ways to help a child learn to tell time.
Because children learn differently there are many different ways to teach a child how to tell time.
A well-balanced mix of fact and fun is the best way the help a child will learn to tell time. By understanding the Time Monster web site and incorporating it into the time learning schedule the child will not only be informed but entertained. Interspersing the lessons and quizzes found on the Time Monsters site, which entertain the curious child into the learning process of reading time, with projects that reinforce those lessons and quizzes is the perfect way to teach a child to understand time and read a clock with ease and confidence. Don't forget that teaching to read time under different formats is what will best help a child understand about telling time. It will not only alleviate the burden and fear learning time in one format.
Things to consider when teaching a child to read time.
The Time Monsters site takes learning time at a basic level and considers five minutes to be the base value. The Time Monsters website teaches time as most people read time...that is to say in 'fives'.
There are many websites on the internet where you can find out about making a clock face with a paper plate etc.
- Play time games to help the child understanding time and reading time.
- Teach children to understand time as it happens.
- Giving a child a watch or clock will help make the time learning about telling time a rewarding one also.
If you consider the 12 main sections from the Time Monsters site you will find that they are broken down into the '12 main position' of the clock. Except for the O'clock position on the clock face all other positions relate to one of the 11 5 minute increment positions. As mentioned previously reading time in five minute increments is the way that most people read and tell time. So by interspersing the 12 following sections with other 'reading time' projects the child will get not only a varied amount of time related concepts but will have fun.
How to 'tell time' is a complex concept on many levels. The time learning process should be broken down into easy to manage lessons. Make sure that your plan is set out before starting to teach a child about reading time. By following the lesson structure on the Time Monsters website and creating other activities around the Time Monsters website structure assures not only that your children will learn how to tell time quickly...but they will learn how to tell time while having fun.

It wasn't all that long ago that launching an Internet business meant navigating a maze of technical intricacies. Once you came up with an idea that you thought would make money, you then had to hire a Web designer, a website programmer, and most likely another programmer who specialized in e-commerce solutions. You also had to have an extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the business world and understand, for example, what you need in order to open a merchant account to accept credit cards. Then there was the hassle of dealing with customer service issues, dealing with technical issues regarding your website, and so on. Before you knew it, your big plans to get rich went by the wayside, and instead you found yourself in debt.
Thanks to advances in technology - and to the know-how of those who understand those advances - a money making business is within reach virtually anyone who can type their email address. That's because there are now fully automated systems that provide people with the means to create their own home business.
If that sounds too good to be true, think again. After all, sites like YouTube have enabled any website owner to embed video into his or her site - without having to know the first thing about video streaming, formatting, or storage. It makes sense, then, that industrious entrepreneurs have created fully automated systems that enable you to launch your own Internet business without having to write or upload HTML code, set up a payment gateway, deliver products, or engage in site administration issues.
How do they do this? Essentially, they create a single website that has several products available, and then assign a referral code to every business owner. The new business owner simply substitutes his or her own PayPal account (tracked via his or her email address) for that of the website's original owner. In that way, the new owner receives all of the revenue from sales associated with his or her referral code.
These new technologies not only provide a unique home working opportunity, but they also surface in some of the hottest products being offered today. So many people are in the market for information products that it's mind-boggling. For example, software, scripts, audio and video development, e-books, graphics, and website content are all in great demand. From the business owner's perspective, these products are ideal because they can be delivered digitally. Because the buyer can download these products, there is no inventory to track and no shipping hassles.
Even those who are not tech-savvy can easily participate in this Internet business revolution. Because this type of home working opportunity is fully automated, it doesn't require any specialized knowledge. It doesn't require special training seminars or ongoing fees for maintenance. In truth, all it requires is the recognition that these products are in high demand and the desire to capitalize on that demand.

'Game of Thrones' Loose Ends: Do the Heroes Have Enough Weapons to Kill the White Walkers?
We know Valyrian steel works. Dragonglass too. But do the good guys have enough of either to win? And will they learn other ways to slay their icy foe in Season 8?
By Riley McAtee Feb 21, 2019, 8:42am EST
Share All sharing options for: 'Game of Thrones' Loose Ends: Do the Heroes Have Enough Weapons to Kill the White Walkers?
HBO/Ringer illustration
In 52 days, Game of Thrones will finally return. And 35 days after that, Thrones will end. In less time than it seemingly took Littlefinger to zip around to every corner of Westeros, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will deliver a conclusion to the story George R.R. Martin first introduced 23 years ago—and in that precious time they'll have to answer half a hundred pressing questions: Who will live? Who will die? Who will tell Jon he's doing it with his aunt?
Separate from those series-shaping questions are countless smaller but still crucial details that the show may or may not explore in the final season. These are Thrones' loose ends: the characters, places, events, prophecies, and more that the story has made audiences wonder about over the past seven seasons but the show has yet to wrap up. In the run-up to the final season's April 14 premiere, we'll be digging through these loose ends, looking at why they matter and how they could affect the endgame as we count down to Thrones' long-awaited conclusion.
The Loose End
Winter has arrived, the Wall has crumbled, and the White Walkers are marching south. At some point over Game of Thrones' final six episodes, the Night King's army will go head-to-head with a hodgepodge of Westerosi heroes. But there's a big problem: No one knows much about killing White Walkers.
Thrones' heroes have been trying to figure out how to kill White Walkers for several seasons now. In Season 5, when Stannis is stationed at the Wall, he heads down to Castle Black's libraries and runs into Sam Tarly, who explains how he once killed a White Walker with a dragonglass blade:
Stannis: "Why would obsidian kill a Walker?"
Sam: "I don't know. I've been going through all the old manuscripts hoping to find something. And all I've learned is that the Children of the Forest used to hunt with dragonglass."
Stannis: "The Lady Melisandre told me that death marches on the Wall."
Sam: "I've seen it, Your Grace."
Stannis: "Seen what?"
Sam: "The army of the dead. And when they come—"
Stannis: "We'll have to know how to fight them. Keep reading, Samwell Tarly."
Sam has kept reading, even journeying to the Citadel to attempt to become a maester, yet since that conversation, he's learned little more about the Walkers. Jon has killed two of them with his prized sword, Longclaw, confirming that Valyrian steel can kill the Walkers just like dragonglass, but there are very few Valyrian steel weapons in the world. Despite Sam's best efforts, he still can't answer Stannis's question about why either material can kill White Walkers, and he doesn't know if the ice creatures invading Westeros have any other fatal weaknesses—like, say, dragonfire. Solving those mysteries will be essential to stopping the White Walkers in Season 8.
Why This Loose End Matters
Every time the heroes have engaged with the White Walkers and their army, they've had their asses absolutely handed to them. Yet despite getting caught on their heels (like at Hardhome in Season 5), being vastly outnumbered (at Season 7's frozen lake battle), or both (at the Fist of the First Men in Season 2), they still look wholly unprepared for the coming invasion. The White Walkers are Westeros's Golden State Warriors.
The odds for the humans are especially long, given that it's still unclear just how large the frozen force marching through the shattered Wall really is. The army of wights appears to number in the tens of thousands, but there have been fewer glimpses of the White Walkers. The most that have been onscreen at once is 13, when a Walker delivered one of Craster's infant sons to the Lands of Always Winter in Season 4:
Screenshots via HBO
There is potentially one more Walker who delivered the baby offscreen (depending on whether he joined the throng), and if so, that would leave 14 of them in this scene. Since that episode, Jon killed a White Walker at Hardhome in Season 5, Meera Reed killed one with a dragonglass spear in Season 6, and Jon killed another when his crew went beyond the Wall in Season 7. (Sam's slaying came in Season 3.) While the Walkers have seemed to prefer a Four Horseman of the Apocalypse–type of look since Season 5, the Craster baby scene indicates that there could be at least 11 of them alive.
There may be even more than that. We think that new White Walkers come into being when Craster's sons are taken from the woods and turned, and Craster told Commander Mormont in Season 3 that he'd just had his 99th son. That could mean hundreds of White Walkers.
Even if the number of Walkers isn't vastly bigger than what we've seen, the heroes need more firepower to defeat the White Walker threat. That means they need to learn more about dragonglass, Valyrian steel, and any other weaknesses the White Walkers have.
How the Show Could Address It
After Jon and his crew mined so much dragonglass on Dragonstone in Season 7, the material is the main White Walker repellent in our heroes' armory. Dragonglass is different from the obsidian found in our world—the volcanic rock clearly has magical properties. The Children of the Forest stuck a dragonglass blade into the chest of a human to create the Night King (something Bran will be able to relay to Sam this season, which could help him finally answer Stannis's question), and dragonglass itself turns White Walkers into dust (or, like, ice shards? It's not clear, but the dying is the important part). Dragonglass also appears to be effective against wights. Ordinary weapons proved ineffective when Jon encountered a wight at Castle Black in Season 1, but the undead were dropping like flies when Jon and Co. used their makeshift dragonglass weapons at the frozen lake in Season 7. Wights don't die like this when impaled with conventional steel:
But the heroes probably need more than a bundle of shiny rocks to outfit an army and go toe-to-toe with the White Walkers. Even when they had to arm only about a dozen warriors, they were already relying on some shards of dragonglass that weren't so intimidating. Look at how Jorah was forced to fight with a dragonglass butter knife:
This is not the first time Westeros has done battle with the undead, and Jon, Daenerys, and the rest of the humans may be able to enlist their local Three-Eyed Raven to look to the past for clues about how to defeat the White Walkers. The legend of the Long Night may provide a crucial clue.
During the Long Night, some 6,000 or 8,000 years ago, a winter settled over Westeros that lasted a generation. The sky went dark, people froze in their houses, and the White Walkers descended on the continent from the north alongside giant ice spiders, wiping out legions in their way. Then the Last Hero, as legend now calls him, emerged to defeat them. He went into the North with a host of companions, a dog, and a blade made of dragonsteel. Aligned with the children of the forest, he defeated the White Walkers at the Battle for the Dawn.
It's unclear how, exactly, he beat White Walkers in that battle—or if it was a true battle at all and not some kind of peace settlement or truce—but the story of the Long Night and the Last Hero raises a crucial question: Is dragonsteel the same as Valyrian steel?
Valyrian steel is lighter, stronger, and sharper than normal steel, with a distinctive rippling pattern that results from the metal being folded over and over when forged. Valyrian steel weapons never need sharpening. The blades are infused with magic when forged and fatal to White Walkers, while normal metal freezes and crumbles. The magic used was lost in the Doom of Valyria some four centuries before the show, and many blades have been lost. As a result, there is very little Valyrian steel left in the world. Only six Valyrian steel weapons have appeared in the series: Longclaw, Widow's Wail, Oathkeeper, Heartsbane, and the dagger used in the assassination attempt on Bran in Season 1 (Ned Stark's Ice was Valyrian steel; it was reforged into Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper). Jon has Longclaw, Jaime has Widow's Wail, Brienne has Oathkeeper, Sam has Heartsbane, and Arya has the dagger; all five of those characters are currently in Winterfell or are headed in that direction.
A few other Valyrian steel weapons have been mentioned in the show or books, but they are lost or scattered across the world. The one aspect of the White Walkers that works in Jon and Co.'s favor is that killing one appears to kill all the wights that that Walker spawned. That means that what the heroes have on hand could be enough, but four swords, a dagger, and some dragonglass doesn't exactly inspire confidence, especially when the Night King is airborne. Some extra Valyrian steel would be a welcome sight.
That brings us back to the Last Hero and his dragonsteel sword. Jon has wondered whether Valyrian steel and dragonsteel are connected in the books, and it's a logical conclusion to make considering Valyrian steel was forged in Old Valyria, the homeland of the dragonlords, and has clear magical properties. We don't know whether Valyrian steel is somehow forged with dragonfire, but the clues seem to hint at it.
The secrets of how to forge Valyrian steel have been lost for centuries, since the Doom of Valyria. But a rare few talented smiths can rework Valyrian steel that has already been forged, as was demonstrated when Tywin had Ice, the ancestral greatsword of House Stark that Ned wields in Season 1, remade into Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper at the beginning of Season 4.
If anyone can figure out the secrets to not only reworking Valyrian steel but crafting new Valyrian steel, it's Sam Tarly and his living Wikipedia, Bran Stark. Sam has already been researching how to kill White Walkers, and in Episode 1 of Season 7 he found the importance of dragonglass—and the stockpile of it on Dragonstone—when he was flipping through a book that also contained a drawing of Arya's Valyrian steel dagger:
In that same scene, Gilly opened another book: Legends of the Long Night. The connection is right there! The exact recipe for Valyrian steel can't be in those pages or other maesters would have discovered it centuries ago, but Bran's Three-Eyed Raven powers may be able to fill in the missing links. It's unclear whether Bran's sight can stretch across continents (in the book he's limited by the presence of weirwood trees, though that limitation seems to not apply on the show, given the lack of such trees at the Tower of Joy), but if anyone ever did forge a Valyrian steel blade in Westeros, Bran may be able to see that. He may even be able to see all the way back to the Long Night and the Last Hero's dragonsteel blade.
Additionally, Sam's ownership of Heartsbane, which he stole from his father, Randyll, in Season 6, is curious, as he isn't an obvious candidate to wield it in battle. Sam may have slayed a White Walker, but he's focused on scholarship, not fighting. The greatsword is too big for Arya and wouldn't fit her water-dancing style, Davos always says he isn't a swordsman, Gendry prefers a hammer, Tyrion isn't a fighter, Pod is best at being a squire (among other things), Grey Worm and the Unsullied don't really use swords, Theon and Yara are hundreds of miles away, and Tormund and Beric were at the Wall when it fell—their fates are unknown. Jorah might be able to wield Heartsbane, and Euron is another contender—he owns Valyrian steel armor in the books, though Sam won't just hand over Heartsbane to him. That makes the best candidate … the Hound? Sandor Clegane has said that he always wanted a Valyrian steel weapon.
But Sam may have a better use for Heartsbane: He could melt it down to help him discover the secrets to Valyrian steel. Between Sam's training at the Citadel, the books he brought with him to Winterfell, his family's blade, and Bran's powers, Sam is this close to connecting the dots.
Will Bran Warg Into a Dragon and Shift the Balance of Power on 'Game of Thrones'?
Will 'Game of Thrones' End With Daenerys Giving Birth?
Will Arya Check Every Name Off Her Kill List Before 'Game of Thrones' Ends?
But Sam and Bran are no smiths, and it takes some of the most skilled craftsman in the seven kingdoms to even reforge Valyrian steel that already exists. Luckily, the gang has Gendry, who was last seen arriving at Eastwatch to alert Davos to send a raven to Daenerys. He was presumably on the boat with Jon and Dany, and there's a good chance he'll wind up at Winterfell to begin Season 8. When Gendry hasn't been getting his king's blood leeched out of him, he's been smithing. He grew up smithing under Tobho Mott in King's Landing, he wanted to smith for the Brotherhood Without Banners, and he returned to King's Landing via row boat and smithed there for three seasons before Davos came back for him in Season 7.
In the books, the person who reforges Ice into Widow's Wail and Oathkeeper is none other than the same Tobho Mott, whom Gendry apprenticed under for so long. Gendry isn't some amateur blacksmith; he learned from one of the best smiths in the entire realm. He may have some experience working with Valyrian steel.
Soon, Westeros's preeminent bookworm, the Three-Eyed Raven, an experienced blacksmith, and the Mother of Dragons will likely all be in the same spot at the same time. All are aware of the threat of the White Walkers and what it takes to kill them. If ever there were a group of people who could recover the lost art of Valyrian steel, it's this one.
Of course, cracking the Valyrian steel riddle is a long shot—people have been trying for centuries to no avail. So if the heroes can't figure out the magic recipe, will they find another way to kill White Walkers? The Last Hero may have been armed with dragonsteel, but none of the legends allude to actual dragons themselves—it's likely that White Walkers had never done battle with dragons before Season 7. Dragons are magical creatures who are in many respects the exact opposite of the Walkers, and it may not be a coincidence that both returned to the world at the same time. Many speculate that dragonfire can kill White Walkers.
Wights are vulnerable to normal fire, but White Walkers have previously been shown to be impervious to it. The air freezes around them as they approach, and fires go out whenever a Walker comes near, as demonstrated at the Three-Eyed Raven's cave in Season 6. That may be different for dragonfire, though. In the battle beyond the frozen lake, the Night King walked through some fire left behind by Dany's dragons, and while the flames cowered in front of him, they did not go out completely:
It remains to be seen how a Walker would fare with a face full of dragonfire. The Night King might melt like a snowman in the magical flames … or he might brush it off, unscathed. Either result would be pretty badass. But if dragonfire can't harm Walkers, Dany's dragons will be virtually sidelined in the war against the White Walkers. From a storytelling perspective, it wouldn't make sense for seven seasons of dragon hype to end with Drogon and Rhaegal being little more than fodder for the best javelin thrower in Westeros.
Beyond dragonfire, many have speculated that wildfire could also be used to destroy White Walkers. The alchemists in King's Landing claim wildfire is manufactured with magic, and it's certainly one of the most powerful weapons we've seen in Westeros. In Season 6, Bran has a flashing vision that includes images of wildfire mixed with glimpses of White Walkers.
But that was before Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor, and the wildfire he sees are some of the exact scenes from that event. It's not clear whether the wildfire's proximity to the White Walkers in Bran's vision is related at all. As Thrones has shown for years, prophecies are fickle.
Plus, it's unclear how much wildfire is left. Between the Battle of the Blackwater and Cersei's nuking of the Sept of Baelor, it's likely that the reserves in King's Landing are running low.
Whether it's with dragonglass, Valyrian steel, dragonfire, wildfire, or something else, Thrones' heroes need to develop a strategy for the White Walker threat. At the moment, they know little about what kills the White Walkers. Tying up that loose end is the first step to saving Westeros.

The Rising of the Shield Hero (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari) Anime – A Brief Introduction (2021-2022)
By The Cyber Flame
The Rising of the Shield Hero (Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari) is an anime series that many viewers have already watched. This popular anime has a big fanbase because the show is very interesting & attractive. The Plot, Characters, and Character Development are at a high level.
Here are the ratings of this anime series (Season 01).
MyAnimeList: 8.01
Crunchyroll: 4.7/5
The Rising of the Shield Hero – Season 1
The Rising of the Shield Hero – AKA Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari
The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 1 released in 2019. It has 25 episodes. A good story to see if you have time. Actually, It's a really beautiful anime show.
This is not a full review of that Anime Series, this is some kind of a brief introduction. But let me give you a little description.
In short, four people from other worlds are invited to one world. It looks like that they are in a Video Game, but it's not. They were summoned as the successors of the so-called heroes who are there to protect that world. Each hero has a special weapon. They cannot use other weapons. It is a Bow, a Sword, a Spear and a Shield. And each weapon has very special abilities and powers.
So their duty is to protect this world from the invasions that come from other worlds/dimensions from time to time. Also there are actually other worlds with similar events as happening here. You can find out about it at the end of the first season. I'm not going to say that in a way that loses that curiosity because there may be people who haven't seen it yet. So, I am not going to spoil too much.
The Rising of the Shield Hero | Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari –
Mirellia Q Melromarc (Right), Aultcray Melromarc (Left), & Naofumi Iwatani (Left)
The first episode gives a devilish kickstart. Also, the feelings of the main character Naofumi Iwatani have been made to feel the same way to those who watch it. Especially Anger. I am pretty sure you will be able to watch the entire show without getting bored. There is an interesting storyline. There are a lot of different, amazing characters in this. Raphtalia and Filo are the main members of the Shield Hero's team.
Raphtalia is a Demi-Human Raccoon / Tanuki Girl.
("You are the great Shield Hero, and I am your sword. No matter how rough the path, I will follow you." – Raphtalia)
Filo is a Filolial, adopted/raised by the Shield Hero. A very cute character… If you gonna watch this, it would be better if you can watch the original Japanese Dubbed version (with English Subtitles).

Shield Hero's Adventure throughout the story is great. There are also many heart touching emotional moments. Anyway, that's a special feature of most anime. This show belongs to the Dark Fantasy genre. In addition to the anime, also there are Manga and Light Novel series too.
Among the Films, Animation Movies, and TV Series we watch, there are those that we would like to watch more than once, without getting bored. Let me give you an example; Avatar: The Last Airbender.
(⚠ : – This is just one example. There are many more. And this does not mean that this Anime Series is as good as ATLA.)
The Rising of the Shield Hero – Season 02 Release Date
The Adventure continues to a few more seasons. The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 was supposed to be released in 2021. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the release date of The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 has been delayed to 2022. Currently, The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 has been postponed to April 2022.

Also, there is a Funny Meme with this Series. "Something is Rising, and it's not the Shield Hero." Don't worry if you don't understand the real meaning of this phrase.
This is 'The Rising of the Shield Hero,' one which I've watched again and again. Anyway, this is a fantasy. There is no point in applying logics while watching because this is not Science Fiction or something like that. So, it makes no sense. Just enjoy it! You just need to watch and get that experience. One of the reasons I like this is because it is interesting, and a bit of a short anime series that can be watched and finished quickly. And also there are much more anime like this. You can easily explore them if interested.

Q: Why must "has" come before the main verb here? Wrong Sentence:

Never before in the history of the world such a thing has happened, I don't think that will ever happen again.

Right sentence:

Never Before in the history of the world has such a thing happened, I don't think that will ever happen again.

Why "has such a thing happened" is the right form, and why can't I use such a thing has happened?

A: Because never is a negative, so you have the instance of obligatory subject–auxiliary inversion called negative inversion:

In linguistics, negative inversion is one of many types of subject–auxiliary inversion in English. A negation (e.g. not, no, never, nothing, etc.) or a word that implies negation (only, hardly, scarcely) or a phrase containing one of these words precedes the finite auxiliary verb necessitating that the subject and finite verb undergo inversion.

See the rest of both linked articles for more.  If you have no auxiliary, you must provide one via do-support:

*

*Never again did I scratch my eye after cleaning jalapeños.

*Seldom do I invert my statements, except for when the rules require that
one do so.

Inversion is also normal in questions, but you got that one wrong, too.  You should have said:

Why is "has such a thing happened" the right form?

Because you need subject–verb inversion in a question. You also need more practice with capitalization and punctuation; otherwise you risk confusing people.

A: This is a case of inversion that appears after certain negative or restrictive expressions and "only".
Paraphrasing Swan:

Rarely had the sunset been more gorgeous.
Seldom could she see such a gorgeous sunset.
Never had she seen a more gorgeous sunset.
Hardly/*Scarcely* had she left the house when she saw the gorgeous sunset.
No sooner did she open the window that she saw the gorgeous sunset.
Only after looking out the window did she notice the gorgeous sunset.
In no way could she imagine how gorgeous the sunset might actually be.
At no time did she see a gorgeous sunset during her stay there.
Under no circumstances would she have said that the sunset was gorgeous.
On no account was she allowed to see the gorgeous sunset.

(*) Note that the last three examples are actually "negative" sentences in that she didn't see the sunset, didn't think the sunset was gorgeous, and wasn't allowed to see the sunset, while the other sentences have a "positive" meaning.

Michele Rabbia (* 1965 in Turin) ist ein italienischer Jazzschlagzeuger.

Leben und Wirken
Rabbia begann Schlagzeug während seiner Ausbildung am Liceo Musicale von Savigliano unter der Leitung von Giorgio Artoni, dem Schlagzeuger des Theaters von Parma, zu spielen. Zugleich nahm er Unterricht bei Enrico Lucchini. Ab 1986 studierte er am Berklee College of Music in Boston Schlagzeug bei Alan Dawson und Joe Hunt.

Anfang der 1990er Jahre kehrte er nach Italien zurück und wurde hier Mitglied der 1994 gegründeten Gruppe Aires Tango. 1995 traf er Antonello Salis, mit dem er Konzerte gab und eine Trio-CD (mit Javier Girotto) aufnahm. Er arbeitete außerdem als Studiomusiker mit Sainkho Namtchylak, Dominique Pifarély, Michel Godard, Eugenio Colombo, Rita Marcotulli und anderen.

1997 wurde er Mitglied des von Paolo Damiani gegründeten Quartetts mit Sandro Satta und Carlo Mariani. 1999 gründete er mit dem Pianisten Stefano Battaglia ein Duo, das durch den französischen Violinisten Dominique Pifarély zum Atem Trio erweitert wurde. In einer durch Vincent Courtois und Michel Godard zum Quintett ausgebauten Formation nahm er 2001 in Paris ein Album auf.

Weiterhin ist Rabbia Mitglied des Michel Godard Trio mit der Sängerin Linda Bsiri und arbeitet in Duoformationen mit Pifarély und mit Vincent Courtois (auch im Trio mit Marilyn Crispell).  Im Trio DaDaDa mit Émile Parisien und Roberto Negro legte er 2017 das Album Saison 3 vor (Album des Jahres 2018 bei Les Victoires du Jazz).

This video from photoshopuniverse shows us how to make your picture look like it's a puzzle by using Photoshop! First you want to open up the layers palette and duplicate the layer. Now add a new layer and bring it down to the middle and fill it in with black. Now to get the puzzle into place, go to Filter---Show Menu Items---Texture---Texturizer. Click the arrow to load texture. Load in puzzle texture. Now you can set the scaling to however many puzzle pieces you want. He put it at 75% and the relief at 4%. He prefers the light to be "top right." Click OK and now the texture is there. Now to select some puzzle pieces and remove them, here are those steps...now open your original puzzle piece image you used. Now go to Image---Image size and reduce it to 75% or whatever percent you used. Now control A to copy, and Control V to paste that puzzle layer. Now you can place the layer at the top right, then duplicate by hitting control J and move the piece to the other end. Select the 2 layers and merge layers and duplicate again, and drag it all the way to the bottom to fill in the puzzle without any texture. Now you can take your magic wand tool, to select any pieces you want. He increased the tolerance to 50 and reduced the opacity to zero. Now select a puzzle piece, and do shift-control-J. Now the layer is not longer there. Now you can actually move the puzzle piece, rotate it with Control-T, or angle it and add a drop shadow. He puts it at 120. When selecting more puzzle pieces it's important to be on that layer. Keep repeating this process for as many puzzle pieces you want moved.

As we headed home from a day of drinking, er we mean tasting in the Templeton Gap area we decided to stop for dinner. The first real restaurant we came to on the left as we came into Paso Robles was Buona Tavola and we thought, why not! Great choice, and although we were early (15min before they opened) we were welcomed in and seated. As we perused the wine list we engaged the staff in a wine discussion and took their suggestion and had a nice Super Tuscan to go with dinner (excellent suggestion). While discussing the day of great wine finds an appetizer plate was ordered. A collection of three different types of Alle Pia Salumi and prosciutto with cheeses and dips oh my, it was fantastic, as were the artisan breads and the delicious olivata spread (way to easy to make a meal of).
Two orders of the prosciutto wrapped Fillet Mignon special, a salmon special and pumpkin tortellini were consumed. The food tasted excellent, was well presented and delivered in a timely manner. A Crema Di Vaniglia Della Buona Tavola desert with extra spoons, a Cappuccino and some Limoncello finished off a great meal.
Opening in 1992, Buona Tavola (meaning "good table") was serving fine Northern Italian food in San Luis Obispo and ten years later Antonio Varia opened the Paso Robles Restaurant. They also do cuisine for off site events, such as weddings, wine dinners and private parties.
We will be back to eat here again that's for sure!
We give Buona Tavola a hearty Recommend as one of the best restaurants in Paso Robles.
So head on in and order up some great tucker an tell em the blokes from downunder at WineWalkabout sent you!

Why is DuckDuckGo Called DuckDuckGo?
February 10, 2016 by Adam Lang 4 Comments
From the outside, this company looks almost identical to Google, a minimalist design with a big search box. But when you look carefully under their hood, you'll notice some differences. At first, you may notice favicons in search results, fewer ads, infinite scrolling and a slick !bangs feature, but it's not until you dig a little deeper that you realize a key substance in their foundation.
DuckDuckGo is widely known as the search engine that doesn't track you. They even put up a big billboard in San Francisco to prove it. Like Google, DuckDuckGo (DDG) is a search engine that aims to display relevant, timely results to their end users. But their emphasis on protecting searcher privacy alters the process of how they collect, store and display information in their search results.
Unlike Google, DDG has a no filter bubble policy, it doesn't track your browser, search history, device type, IP address, and usage behavior. "As long as you can tie searches together and you keep any shred of the information, any personal information that can tie things back to you, then I think it's not truly private" said founder and CEO, Weinberg.
And there is a long list of other signals and ranking factors that Google uses even when you're logged out to display personalized search results – meaning the same query for two different users will display different results, sometimes drastically different. And by compiling all this information across different products (email, mobile, maps, etc.), they not only know who you are, but according to Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman of Alphabet Inc , "we know where you've been and we can more or less know what you're thinking about." Creeped out? Don't worry, you're not alone.
A little dated, but back in March 2012, a study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that two-thirds of Americans view a personalized search as a bad thing, with 73 percent of those surveyed saying that they were "not OK" with personalized searches on privacy grounds. Another recent poll of California voters recently reached similar results, as "78 percent of voters—including 71 percent of voters age 18-29—said the collection of personal information online is an invasion of privacy."
DuckDuckGo hatched in 2008 by Gabriel Weinberg with the goal of improving the search experience by reducing spam and including instant answers. After selling his last company, Opobox, to classmates.com for $10 million in 2006, the MIT grad found himself juggling a few different concepts: structured data, Quora-style Q&A and programmatically combating search spam. "I started all of these projects independently and none of them really took off," Weinberg says, "then I realized, maybe if I put them all together, there might be an interesting experience there." The result was DuckDuckGo, a search engine offering direct answers to people's queries, rather than merely delivering a list of links. Below these Instant Answers, the site still displays traditional, link-by-link search results syndicated from third parties like Bing, Yelp and Yahoo!.
Why is it called DuckDuckGo?
Not every brand name has a secret message hidden in their letters and the story is no different with DDG. Simply, Weinberg just liked it. The name was derived from the popular children's game (or adults), Duck, Duck, Goose, but it's not a metaphor, according to their community page. And yes, like "Google it," you can turn it into a less common verb, "Duck it." For the first three years, Gabriel bootstrapped the company until raising $3 million from Union Square Ventures, the same VC firm that backed Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare. They currently employ about 40 employees and are headquartered in Paoli, Pennsylvania.
SEE ALSO: Why is it Called Google?
Growth Pains
"Our biggest challenge is that most people have not heard of us," Weinberg says. "We very much want to break out into the mainstream." And although this still may be true, partnerships with Apple and Mozilla in 2014 seem to be paying off. At the end of 2015, DDG reported that they received 3.25 billion search queries for the year, that's up 74% over the same period last year. Additionally, they attracted more than three million unique visitors on desktop in October, which represents 100% year-over-year growth. And although this insane growth should be applauded, we ought not to forget to compare these figures to their competition. It's believed that Google receives ~100 billion searches per month or 1.2 trillion per year. Don't trust my math, but if I'm doing it correctly, Google has more searches per day than DDG has per year. Holy DUCK!
Have you tried DDG? Do you think it's ever possible for Weinberg and team to even make a dent in Google's underestimated ~69.3% marketshare? Comment below! Thanks for reading Why is DuckDuckGo Called DuckDuckGo?! #whyisitcalledDuckDuckGo

D22 sump leaking - how to replace gasket?
Im not at home to look at ours, it had a sump leak repaired under warranty.
I think you would can drop the cross member to drop the sump with the engine in the car but you will need to confirm that.


The Nigeria Football Federation on Tuesday expressed concern over the burgling of the property of former Nigeria captain Nwankwo Kanu, with valuables such as medals, plaques and trophies carted away in the heart-breaking infraction.
Reports in the media on Tuesday said valuables were stolen from Kanu's Hardley Apartments in Victoria Island, Lagos, less than a week after the Nigerian legend attended the African Football awards ceremony in Dakar, Senegal.
"Our superstar and former captain is in intense pain at this period, and we empathise with him. This is a tragedy. Losing precious possessions like medals, trophies and plaques can be heart-breaking.
"We respectfully call on the Nigeria Police and other security agencies to work hard at unravelling the perpetrators of this nefarious act. Kanu worked very hard from a humble beginning to accumulate whatever he has today," NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, said in Lagos.
Pinnick insisted that the thieves should at least have considered the charitable works of the former Nigeria captain in helping young Nigerians with heart defects to overcome their medical conditions, before carrying out their dastardly act.
"Kanu brought joy and celebration to many homes across Nigeria, Africa and the world, while playing for the Nigeria's team that won the U-17 World Cup in 1993, the U-23 team that he captained to Olympic gold in Atlanta in 1996 and the Super Eagles, for which he featured at three World Cup finals.
"He also served several top clubs in world football, giving them and their fans nothing but immeasurable joy. He has also been spending heavily, through his Kanu Heart Foundation, in getting medical attention for young Africans with heart defects and helping them live normal lives.
Kanu narrowly missed the Eagles' squad for the 1994 World Cup but then featured at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 editions for Nigeria. He also played for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations between 2000 and 2010, winning one silver and four bronze medals.
He captained Nigeria's U-23 team to win Africa's first-ever Olympic football gold in 1996, after which he survived heart surgery. He played for Inter Milan, Arsenal, Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion, winning trophies with the teams.
In 1995, alongside compatriot Finidi George, Kanu won the European Champions League with Ajax Amsterdam.
