KIKUYU, THE SECOND OLDEST BANTU FROM NIGERIA by Onyeji Nnaji
THE KIKUYI OF KENYA
The Kikuyu of Kenya is another larger sect of the families, far East Africa. The history of the Kikuyu Bantus is complicating as many storytellers seem to fight for the interest of their clans. On the contrary, the suggestion that Kikuyu population were the offspring of one man, Gikuyu was the most suspicious information that did not sink down with real historical supposition. Gikuyu and Kikuyu are two different ethnic groups with different origin entirely. How Kikuyu, a Bantu settlement could come from Gikuyu is not only probable, but fallacious. What is eminent is the fact that the tribe that holds the traditional head of the Kikuyu Bantu is the Abaluya. According to Oral sources, Gideon Were, John Osogo, Daniel Wako, among others, "the clans in Abaluya are over twenty". Significant enough, they all possess the denoting prefix Aba in their names. They are Abanyole, Abetakho, Abesukha, Abatsotso, Abanyala, Abakabras, Abatachoni, Abamarama, Abashisa, Abatirichi, Abakhayo, Abamarachi, Abasamia, Abagusii etc.
The Kikuyu Bantu could trace their origin to the Western part of Central Africa But the several evidences shown through their traditions, religion and the names of their towns etc. show the features that still last among them through which they could trace their original home. Nnaji noted that Aba is a migration mark of the descendants of the deviants among the sons of God. As he notes,
Aba became populated grossly after more people became involved in the business with the daughters of men. Being found in this, they separated themselves and joined the deviants in the land of Aba. Through this means Aba became more popular among the Umudiala. The Abas were hunters, travelers and explorers. Through such means they founded lands at distant places and settled in them. Remarkable enough, all their lands were called after their ancestral name, Aba.
There is Abak in Akwa-Ibom, Nigeria explained to have derived its name as a recap of their original home in Aba Ngwa, Abia State, Nigeria. Before the taking over of the land of Canaan by the Joshua led travellers, we were made to know that these descendants had travelled that far and settled at the hilly part of the land. There also they called the land after their ancestral home (see Joshua chapters 14, 15 and 21; also Genesis 35: 27). Now, the Bantus of Kenya are found in this same denotation. Is the repetition of this denoting prefix, Aba, just a mere expression of consanguinity among member clans or just as a precise identity?
Of course, if cannot be a coincidence since greater part of their tradition, religious practices and naming of children all traced their ways to the Igbo heartland where their ancestors were believed to have gone from. Such staring place names as Abamarama, Abashisa, Abatirichi, Abamarachi, Abagusii sound more Igbo than any other language; especially Abamarachi and Abamarama. "Shisa" in Abashisa is directly Nkalaha/Nkanu word while "gusii (gwusii)" in the latter draws connotations towards termination in the Igbo lexicon. By supposition, Abagusii should be the last of the clans and the youngest among her sisters. There is Abateghete in Anambra State shortly pronounced Abatete connoting a similar belief held among the Kikuyu Bantu. When counting, Kikuyu used to say "full nine" instead of the word for ten. To them, ten is relatively a taboo. Maybe it was the same belief that was reenacted in the name Abateghete directly translated as AbaNinth.
The most authoritative works on the history of the Abaluyia and of Kikuyu history, the two books by Prof. Gideon S. Were entitled A history of the Abaluyia of western Kenya: c. 1500-1930 and Western Kenya Historical Texts: Abaluyia, Teso, and Elgon Kalenjin. Outside Prof. Were's two books, the book that comes close in terms of facts and accuracy is that of John. N. B Osogo entitled A History of the Baluyia. All these books suggest that the history of the Abaluyia is not a recent phenomenon as some amateur historians have tried to suggest. On the contrary the Abaluyia have been conscious of their collective, cultural and linguistic past reflected in their settling pattern from the 12th Century when they moved to their present habitation in Western Kenya, to the present.
Traditionally, the Kikuyu held a worldview that has been referred to as ancestor worship. They believed that spirits of dead can be pleased or displeased like a living individual. The ancestors were honoured as intercessors with God and spiritual powers. They were honoured in the naming system, and people often explain the traditional belief that the actual spirit of the grandparent on other ancestor comes into the new child named after them. The Igbo refer this elaborate ritualistic and mystic process to Iyi Uwa. It explains a ritual process during which the spirit of an ancestor is called up to formally introduce him to the child named after him. Kikuyu also bear some Igbo names. Apart from direct bearing of Igbo names, the Kikuyu make use of Wa in place of Nwa in Igbo. The legendary novelist and playwright, James Ngugi wa Thiongo is a good example.
The Kikuyu observe this unique ritual pattern of naming children. Although the spirit invocation is no longer prominent among them, the practice of naming children after their ancestors is still followed strongly today. The family identity is carried on in each generation by naming children in the following pattern: the first boy is named after the father's father, the second boy after the mother's father. The first girl is named after the father's mother, the second after the mother's mother. Subsequently, children are named similarly after the brothers and sisters of the grandmother and grandfather; from eldest to the youngest, alternating from father's to mother's family. And because of the rapid changes in the social and material culture, this naming pattern is an extremely strong and important factor of Kikuyu identity.
The date contained in many history books resulting from Kenya about the history and time of settlement for the Kikuyu Bantu was 1200 AD. But because the migration that brought them to Mount Kenya was successively approached, looking at the different periods when the different Bantus that settled in the area arrived, the rating had been thus, 1200-1600 AD. Abaluiya which was considered as having the oldest centralized lifestyle among the Kenya Bantus were believed to have settled around that same period. Ancestors of the Kikuyu were believed to have arrived in Kenya during the Bantu migrations of 1200-1600 AD. The Kikuyu developed from several continuous waves of migration and remigration within the area.
From issues connected to genetic line's contributions to the Kikuyu, Thagicu is thought to be the earliest Bantu settlers in the area, perhaps around 1200 AD. The Kamba also incorporate some of those people in the Thagicu of today. They are related to the Dhaiso (Segeju) of northern coastal Tanzania. It was in Mukurue division of Nyeri district where an identifiable beginning for the modern Kikuyu people is defined. The Kikuyu Bantus are believed to have migrated from central Africa where the rest of the Bantus in Tanzania, Uganda and the nearby Bantu related family members had travelled from.
Dr. Vladimir Zelenko has now treated 699 coronavirus patients with 100% success
Like our page on facebook @ Info4everybody Last Wednesday, we published the success story from Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, a board-certified family practitioner in New York, after he successfully treated 350 coronavirus patients with 100 percent success using a cocktail of drugs: hydroxychloroquine, in combination with azithromycin (Z-Pak), an antibiotic to treat secondary infections, and zinc sulfate. Dr. Zelenko said he saw the symptom of shortness of breath resolved within four to six hours after treatment. Do you know that the ancient Egypt were civilized by architects from the (500,000 - 4000 BC) Nsukka Civiliation? Now, Dr. Zelenko provides updates on the treatment after he successfully treated 699 COVID-19 patients in New York. In an exclusive interview with former New York Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, Dr. Vladmir Zelenko shares the results of his latest study, which showed that out of his 699 patients treated, zero patients died, zero patients intubated, and four ho
ORIGIN OF THE AKAN
THE AKAN Copied from the book, Reality as Myth by Onyeji Nnaji . The influence of the Akan on their content nations lies on their population and commonwealth of their brother nations. The Akan are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. Their population is scattered across West Africa and beyond. Among this huge population of the Akan, the Ghanaians are more popular, perhaps because of the political influence of the Ashanti Empire in the area. Not much is heard or known about other Akan settlements like the Akwamu, the Akyem , the Akuapem, the Denkyira, the Abron, the Aowin, the Ahanta, the Anyi, the Baoule, the Chokosi, the Fante, the Kwahu, the Sefwi, the Ahafo, the Assin, the Evalue, the Wassa the Adjukru, the Akye, the Alladian, the Attie,the M'Bato, the Abidji, the Avikam,the Avatime the Ebrie,
GARDEN OF EDEN FOUND IN AFRICA
Copied from the Book; " Reality as Myth " by Onyeji Nnaji The beauty of the discovering of the Radar Rivers and their channels is that it disproves the western hegemonic claim of the Euphrates valley being the position of the birth of the great river, all the points that opposed their claims notwithstanding. Even God himself was very perfect in His creation by placing them in their positions, hierarchically, according to their birth. The first river that flowed located the Havilah land where there are good quality gold, bdellium and fine onyx stones. Pison was the oldest of the rivers and it flowed through the land of the southern Africa. The second river flowed northward to Ethiopia. It was when Africa had been overtaken by virtue of her proximity to the Great Water that other parts of the world began to encounter the remaining river; remarkable with Hiddekel.

THE HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF THE ZULU PEOPLE
Copied from the book, Reality as Myths by Onyeji Nnaji T he world of the Bantu travellers shows the walls of the migration that recorded the highest population among the African settlement. Originating from the largest population among the four races that settled in the east before time, all Bantu travellers were pygmies; for that was the nature of the Umudiala, the generation that gave birth to them. Bantu migration was rated the third earliest migration of the Negro race from the east. In this regard, all their movement had involved great population of people compared to the number of people involved in the two earlier populations that gave birth to Ethiopia, Nubia and Egypt: the Walker Traveller, and the Race of Anu. Bantu population as we have identified in the third chapter above outweighs the rest of the population of the ancient fathers that founded many of the nations of antiquity mentioned earlier. Discussing them in beat will pose a little challenge since

BRIEF HISTORY OF NKALAHA.
T he name Nkalaha is a coinage which stands for a people occupying a geographical land and regional setting in the eastern part of Nigeria. It is a coinage which attempts to explain the direction of movement and adventure of the men who founded the community in the 15th century AD. According to oral sources and some documentation about this community, some of these men were believed to have traveled from Ida, old Benue state of Nigeria to inhabit the land. These men had traveled on different days to locate the place. Onojah who originally founded the land was said to have been in a deep search for a place of safety as he was besieged by a fate that appeared to make him somewhat incompatible with his own people. Nkalaha is one of the communities that make up Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Nkalaha occupied the northern part of Ishielu Local Government Area. She is located through the zip 135.031.000. The community sits on 923.768km 2 . She shares boundaries
MYSTERY OF IGBO COSMOLOGY
The Mystery of Number, "Five" in the Igbo Cosmology. From: Aspects of the Ancient African Metaphysics; Chapter: Seven; Topic: Igbo Geometries and the Metaphysics of Numbers. Author: Onyeji Nnaji. I n the Igbo cosmology, the word Isee is a definite symbolic word as revealed through the Igbo language and culture. A human being has five fingers, five toes. The hands and feet are fundamentals to the survival in life as they are necessary in ensuring that man moves to places where he gets food and grapples on the food to sustain his life. To this view, the rhetoric that binds vocatives in the form of incantation (anchoring on the heart-lock: four ) and the concomitant reprisal in the manner of affirmation that holds the human life bind to his original spiritual person, therefore defining existence and essences are unified by the corresponding echo: Isee!!!!! Therefore it stands that anytime a prayer is said in the Igbo land, the attendants who would want the fulfillment of the
THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF UDI by Onyeji Nnaji
INTRODUCTION One thing that made Udi remarkable is the indubitable legacy adopted in commemoration of the legendry fighter, Uto at Nsude. It was one of the greatest contributions of the descendants of Agbaja to the survival of Nsukka civilization of memory. Uto held from Oshie. Uto dies of small pox after a mercenary battle he was hired to fight in the ancient Benin. His body was buried in the evil forest as the tradition demanded. Although he lived no longer, the stepped pyramids above were adopted to commemorate the lasting peace he brought to the entire Oshie and Udi nation of people. Another remarkable thing about Udi is the fertility of the land. This has contributed widely in sustaining the inhabitants and provided a name for the inhabitants in the manner of Abakaliki, Umudike, Ogbaru, Igboariam, Ohaji, Uzouwani, etc., especially in Amofia-Agu, Affa. Udi is a land of great rivers and springs: Adaada, Ajali, Oji, Aria, Nvenu, Ngene Evu, Iyi Ububo, etc. as was the situ
THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF NSUKKA by Onyeji Nnaji
There are four generations…, and the fourth generation, which is the most exalted, is kingless and perfect. These people will enter the holy place of their Father and they will reside in rest … They are kings. They are the immortal within the mortal ( The Nag Hammadi, 219 ) Also read Nsukka Civilization: The Peopling of Ancient Nsukka One of the African homes that colonialism has completely deformed beyond certain level of recognition is Nsukka. Colonialism apart, the most affecting factor to the survival of the meaning which the rich cultural enclave, Nsukka, carries will best be blamed on postcolonial political structure. The biggest harm all these have against Nsukka as a people is that they rubbed her of the meaning of her name; their place of origin; how their fathers managed to come into their present abodes and who their ancestors were. A profound understanding of the excerpt above will open the door towards deciphering the meaning and origin of the people call
THE HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF EHA-AMUFU
by Onyeji Nnaji Eha-Amufu road newly constructed by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state in 2019 A part from the strategic location of the Federal College of Education, one central reason remarkable about Eha-Amufu is her central position and her boundary situation. Eha-Amufu stands at the centre of many communities; as a result she has served as the gateway to different communities. She is bounded to Nkalaha, Agala, Ikem, Umuero and other communities, including Obeagu (pronounced Ubegu). Aside from that, Eha-Amufu embodies the route that traces the way to the northern part of Nigeria for travellers travelling from Ebonyi axis. Eha-Amufu also forms the remarkable boundary community between Enugu State and Ebonyi State. This situation makes Eha-Amufu very strategic in the discussion of the road and rivers across Ebonyi and Enugu.

Montessori - Overview
"Montessori" is both a name and a recognized system of education. The founder of the system of education, Dr Maria Montessori (1870-1952), was by any measure an extraordinary individual, a mind way before her time, controversial and influential. Her system has shaped the minds of many of our greatest innovators, to name but a few, the founders of Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia.
Hundreds of websites found on the Internet outline the events of Dr Montessori's life and detail the pros and cons of the system she developed. The system remains controversial but the evidence of the lives of the children who have graduated from Morning Star Montessori speak for themselves.
Morning Star Montessori forms part of a huge global Montessori educational movement, a family dedicated to the promotion of world peace through children.
The first Montessori school was started by Dr Maria Montessori in 1907 in Italy. There are currently approximately 600 Montessori schools in South Africa alone.
Before you make a final decision regarding your child's education we invite you equip yourself with all the information at hand and to ask yourself……..
"What will be the kind of person who will not only survive but thrive in an uncertain future? Because, then as now, life will require strength of character, uprightness and wisdom and not only the mere accumulation of facts."
We invite you to make an informed decision.

Oberlin Punished for Fact-Free Food Fight
Brent Bozell and Tim Graham
Posted: Jun 21, 2019 12:01 AM
Source: AP Photo/Dake Kang
Oberlin College in Ohio has devolved into one of academe's most infamous examples of political correctness, one of those unwelcoming places that rails against anyone who brings speakers to campus if those speakers upset Oberlin's crusades against the racist/sexist/anti-gay menace.
Now Oberlin's administration is being punished in a very significant way for a very significant offense, and it's about time. It has taken political correctness to an abusive extreme. The Wall Street Journal opinion section headline summed it up: "Oberlin Pays for Smearing the Town Grocer." It has been ordered to pay $44 million in damages to Gibson's Food Market and Bakery. How so?
On Nov. 9, 2016, a black male Oberlin student attempted to buy wine at Gibson's using a fake ID. Allyn Gibson, a grandson of the market owner, refused to sell alcohol to the underage student and then noticed he was hiding two bottles of wine under his shirt. Gibson called the police, and the student tried to run off, dropping the bottles on the floor. When Gibson pursued him, it turned violent. Police arrived to see Gibson on the ground being beaten by the black male and two black female Oberlin students.
In court, all three students pleaded guilty, and the male suspect swore in a plea statement that Gibson "'was within his legal rights' to detain him, and that he did not believe Gibson's actions were racially motivated," said the Journal.
Yet none of this stopped Oberlin's students and administrators from mangling the truth. Because the assailants were black, students raucously protested, falsely claiming the store was racist. Worse yet, Meredith Raimondo, Oberlin's dean of students, "handed out a flier accusing Gibson's of having a 'long account of racial profiling and discrimination,'" the Journal said.
The Gibson family sued Oberlin and Raimondo, seeking $12.8 million at trial on a number of counts including libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and interference with business contracts. The college canceled the store's longstanding food contracts. Boycotts and controversy took their toll. The store owners took no salary for two years, and nearly all the staff members were laid off. Gibson's lawyers lamented that if they did not receive a ruling in their favor, they would be forced to close up shop. But the truth won.
Raimondo led a crusade inside the Oberlin administration. A text message was read during the trial in which she discussed whether to "unleash the students" on Gibson's. This was war.
Cornell Law professor William Jacobson, who covered the case persistently on his blog, Legal Insurrection, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that the Gibsons did nothing wrong. They were literally just minding their business that morning when they called the cops on a shoplifter. "Because of the crazed ... so-called social justice movement on our campuses, they were immediately designated oppressor, in part because of their skin color, in part because they're the owner of a business," Jacobson said. "And they were put into a pigeon hole of someone who ... must have engaged in racial profiling."
A massive verdict against a prestigious private college must have been national news, right? It wasn't. The same networks that savored every morsel of the scandal of Hollywood actresses partaking in college admissions scams offered nothing on Oberlin's defeat. Only Fox News found the facts of this disturbing court case worth discussing.
This is why the other networks hate Fox News with a passion. They can't bury these stories so a national audience never hears them. They prefer the narrative that political correctness never, ever goes wrong.

gibson's bakery


So we should expect ~1 million for MH 4's second week? If this holds true, it is mighty impressive.
Not that comgnet means much, but for the sake of argument.
They should really do another Pokemon Conquest.
Maybe closer to the truth, considering Capcom overtracked the first week and they were compensating the numbers, probably.
Wow, Luigi's mansion is still charting?
Wind Waker releases this upcoming week right?
First the assassination, now this.
How have Koei's previous handheld strategy games performed, by the way?
Will there be another week of MonHun 4 crowding out every other game?
On a side note, can anyone do GTA V vs BO2 (sub-edition) comg comparison please?
I feel like GTA V will do really well in Japan.
Big jump for FFXIV on Tsutaya stores, not so much on Comgnet, but back in the top 20.
Curious about its 3rd launch week.
Tsutaya is a major retailer with 1,444 retail stores (613 that sell new games) all across Japan.
Comgnet is the website for the retailer "COMG!" that has 16 retail stores across one prefecture in Japan.
Thx, hopefully we will see 200k+ opening week.
Ah right. Seems like i forgot about the launch week points.
-For new announcements, anything from August 1st was counted.
-If a game only had a logo or less prior to August 1st, I counted it.
-If a game was basically only a logo, it went in the notes sections instead and was not counted in statistics.
-I split it out by publishers and then the platforms they made the games on.
-Total platform counts and per publisher counts are at the bottom.
-I put in paranthetical notes for anything I felt was notably relevant like, for example, (f2p) for a console game or a particularly notable staffer.
-I grouped iOS and Android given their frequently joined at the hip status.
-If there were other announcements that were relevant, but not really a game announcement, they're in the Other Notes section of a publisher.
-I left off kickstarter games and games from Mobage/GREE (unless very notable) since the former is not a traditional publisher and the latter only release 5000 mobile games a day.
-I excluded first parties because obviously they're only going to make games for their own platforms.
-If you something is in there that doesn't fit the first two criteria, please tell me.
-I could have missed things, please tell me if I did and you know of it.
-Deep Down was revealed as being f2p.
-Dragon's Dogma Quest has a tie in with Puzzle & Dragon.
-Capcom intends to heavily support Gaist Crusher with a multifaceted transmedia push. This was expressed before, but re-expressed with details on the scope of the effort. They basically want it to be Monster Hunter for children.
-Sega implied that Virtual On might return in 2015.
-Sega is releasing a Bayonetta anime movie by Gonzo.
-I suspect I'm missing some mobile games here given Sega is leading the 15-30 Japanese publisher mobile gaming alliance.
-They also announced DanganRonpa 3 for Vita, but it was really awkwardly done at the end of a trailer so I'm putting this here.
-Namco announced "Gundam" and "Idolm@ster" for PS4. These aren't even titles, so they go here.
-They also announced an untitled Earth Defense Force for PS4.
-There's some kind of new Youkai Watch game for 3DS, but we have zero details or whether it's a sequel or re-release so it goes here.
Metal Max 4 was announced a long time ago.
I think it was like April or May.
The Famitsu topic from a few weeks back had A-Train, Vitamin Z Revolution, and Vitamin X Evolution for 3DS.
And Dynasty Warriors Gundam 4 and Mato Kurenai Yuugekitai for PS3/Vita.
I guess I should be happy that Tecmo-Koei bought Gust, and not another publisher.
Isn't One Piece: Unlimited World R a 3DS game?
Gundam and MKY are on there but under different names.
I didn't see a publisher so I left a-train off.
Apparently one piece is also old do I removed it entirely.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 basically got leaked on July 31st, so it should enter the period.
Thanks for the list, Nirolak. Very interesting, not very encouraging for any traditional gaming platform. Though, TGS is also just not what it used to be.
Thanks, Niro. I think Japanese publishers have spoken. I wonder if your list will significantly change come Nintendo's Fall Conference/Direct/Thingy.
Is this a list of games in TGS or just a general list of upcoming games? If the latter, you're missing Puzzle and Dragons Z and the Inazuma Eleven Go 3.
Is this a list of games in TGS or just a general list of upcoming games right? If the latter, you're missing Puzzle and Dragons Z and the Inazuma Eleven Go 3.
In terms of numbers, PS3/Vita is comparable in announcements. In terms of focus though, it's pretty clear what direction the market is headed towards.
Kagero: Dark Side Princess and Deception IV are the same game.
Neptunia should be under Compile Heart.
IIRC, Dungeon Travellers 2 for Vita is a fake.
Nirolak, A-Train 3D's publisher is ArtDink.
Thank you Nirolak, that's a helpful list to let us discuss the shift towards iOS/Android development over traditional console space.
According to Siliconera it was announced in Dengeki PlayStation at the end of August.
I don't believe so. I have never believed in the idea that something popular plus something popular make something even more popular.
Both games appeal for their core ideas and mechanics that are completely different, I don't see how they could merge in a way it could appeal to their base in a combined way.
Fire Emblem x Shin Megami is way more appropriate and I see it both appealing to two bases (and I assume there is a lot of overlapping).
Fair enough, that's basically my point (and sorry, actually I wanted to answer Jamix012 directly, I didn't plan to post that as a rebuttal to you but I got distracted).
Technically you are correct, since the upcoming Vita game is a remake of the original To Heart 2 : Dungeon Travelers, not its psp sequel Dungeon Travelers 2.
Thanks everyone, I'll fix the rest when I have a chance in a few hours, but for now just mentally adjust Vita/PS3 up a bit and 3DS up a notch.
That said, I had a super hard time finding places that reported mobile news, but when I did, they had a lot of games, so I suspect that is probably a bit higher than it seems too. For example I only know of most of Capcom's games due to duckroll's thread. I suspect they're pretty low tier though given we haven't had threads about them here.
As a quick side note here, Compile Heart is actually a subsidiary of Idea Factory, but that's a pretty easy to miss thing since they never market this fact.
-The companies that are going on mobile the hardest are Square Enix, Capcom, and Level 5, who are notably three of the most successful handheld game vendor. However, they are keeping most of their flagship titles on console/handhelds. To me this says that they are essentially walking the same path as major Western publishers, where they are taking anything that isn't extremely profitable and moving it to the platform with the best cost rofit ratio for a non-high-tier title. The reason Western publishers do this is not because these low-to-mid tier titles are always unprofitable, but because they're not profitable enough and thus dilute margin and run a high risk of only being break even. Basically, since they're highly successful companies, the risk and opportunity cost isn't worth it.
-If we look at the few new series these companies are putting on handhelds, they're overwhelmingly games with very big ideas. Gaist Crusher wants to be "the Monster Hunter for kids" and a major transmedia franchise. If that takes off, it would be incredibly profitable. Bravely Default is a game that is trying to rebuild the audience that bought over a million copies of Final Fantasy III without the baggage or limited runway/material to work with of Final Fantasy remakes.
-Theatrhythm sticks out a bit from the rest, but given it's supposed to be the final entry, will be a DLC platform, and (judging by the first) eventually get an iOS port, I assume this exists on 3DS because the first one did and they think they can make some healthy cash up front from a retail game while eventually launching another digital service.
-In contrast, smaller publishers who have to prioritize keeping the lights on over increasing profit margins are still largely on consoles or handhelds. Knowing that you can sell 100K copies of game X is way more valuable to them than taking lots of risks on smartphones that might all backfire, since the money required to do that isn't pocket change for them.
-Namco Bandai is interestingly not as big in mobile, but is making a huge push into free 2 play. This is an interesting move as the space is less crowded, but is a low-risk/high profit margin business much like phone games.
-Capcom's console output seems damaged. Microsoft is publishing/funding Dead Rising 3, their only PS4 game is an impressive but not super expensive sounding f2p title, and they have almost nothing else that's both high budget and unreleased. It could be a factor of where they are in their development cycles, but it's not overly encouraging.
-Sega seems to be taking a few more risks again after paring down to bare minimum. I'm not entirely sure they've set a clear direction forward outside of "digital(ly enabled) titles". What exactly that entails besides "Well we kept what was working going and added more DLC, and then released a few more digital games." will be interesting to see over the next year or two.
-Konami is basically an undead publisher that only make Metal Gear, Pro Evo, and phone games in Japan.
Are you sure? Because I tried figuring this out a whole back, and while I know the Idea Factory English company info page on their website uses the term "subsidiary", the Japanese ones on both CH and IF's site use the term "関連会社" about each other, which from what I gathered was different from Japanese business term for subsidiary and more commonly translated as "affiliate".
In any case, Compile Heart does seem to run its own publishing operation, and their titles show up with their name as publisher rather Idea Factory's on official listings.
It's quite apparent that, for big companies, smartphones are wonderful : it allows them to maximise their profits from a particular by releasing a ton of spin-offs/tie-ins stuff (like Monster Hunter, how many of them are there ?!), something they can't do with traditional consoles (they could now with digital distribution, but Japanese players seems kind of reluctant about it).
We're yet to see major IP going mobile exclusively, though we're starting to see rather ambitious (more ambitious than your traditional, quick cash-in spin-off).
Sega basically has me confused. They seemed like they were trying to pare down their operations and focus on PC in the game space and far fewer franchises - i.e. only bigger sellers like Sonic, Football Manager and Total War.
And then they go and buy Index.
As for Konami, it really is sad. I wonder what would happen if Kojima left them.
Scroll to the bottom and you will see "Idea Factory Group," with "Compile Heart" as one of the companies listed. This implies that Compile Heart is a subsidiary.
Just noticed, why is Youkai Watch so high in Comgnet charts? Did they get a new batch of copies or something? It's nice to see it charting in MC charts more than 2 months after its release. It seems to be getting rather steady sales, and demand is still there. It's too bad the anime/manga won't start before the end of the year, because I think Level-5 is on something big here. I may be mistaken, but new IP usually don't keep selling like that several weeks after the initial release (especially without an anime).
Yeah, I'm trying to think of one off the top of my head - where a franchise moved from being primarily on handheld to primarily on home consoles and benefited from the transition commercially - and can't, but maybe I'm missing something glaringly obvious.
Edit: I'm amused that - without deliberately trying - I got Firebrand in pretty much exactly the same posture in every GQ shot.
Scroll to the bottom and you will see "Idea Factory Group," with "Compile Heart" listed as one of the companies. This implies that Compile Heart is a subsidiary.
Or perhaps that there's an Idea Factory Group holding company that owns Idea Factory the game publisher/developer alongside Compile Heart and Design Factory?
Idea Factory Group is a corporate group with three subsidiaries: Idea Factory (as the parent), Compile Heart, and Design Factory.
Compile Heart is a dependent branch of Idea Factory Group...but it most likely operates independently.
For a similar example, consider how Sega and Sammy operate independently, even though both are subsidiaries of Sega Sammy Holdings.
"Compile Heart belongs to the Idea Factory Group. If you have any question about this product, please contact Idea Factory."


Find inspiration and a fresh perspective on the art of leadership in this account of a cub reporter who lands the interview of a lifetime and walks away with the keys to exceptional leadership. When the reporter meets with the most respected CEO in America, the businessman shares the seven secrets he learned long ago from his mentor—an eccentric but brilliant professor who taught him proven management principles that, while ancient in origin, are applicable in today's fast-paced, high-tech world.
The Way of the Shepherd is a compact, heart-warming story dotted with humor. It will teach you how to lead the people close to you so they will view their work as a calling rather than merely a job, a place to belong rather than a place to work. It shows leaders how to infuse work with meaning and how to engage, energize, and ignite their workforce and gives employees a better understanding of what makes for a quality work experience.
It is a powerful metaphor for leaders that reaches back 5,000 years. It is . . . The Way of the Shepherd.
Simple, instructive book. I have always thought one of the greatest ways to understand leadership is to understand the life of a shepherd. Over and over again, the Bible calls us sheep. Therefore, the best way to understand how to lead others is to understand the way of the shepherd. I'll break this book down into bite sized forms at a later time. Definitely worth reading and reflection.

The business solar tax credit will continue to be administered as before; all that has changed is the percentage increase to 30 percent. Operation and legal technicalities of the business credit are well established. An accountant or tax professional familiar with these rules should be able to address any specific issues. "The establishment of these tax credits signifies that Congress recognizes solar as an important source of energy that belongs as a part of our national energy portfolio. And along the way, SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) developed new; powerful supporters of solar who will help us continue to expand solar energy markets in the years to come," said Rhone Resch, SEIA president. He added that, as high oil and gas prices spur alternative sources of energy, photovoltaic panel costs are decreasing and state and federal officials are continuing to sign solar incentives into law.

Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund have made a late bid to land Manchester City and Arsenal target Lautaro Martinez, reports talkSPORT.
The 20-year old striker, who has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances for Racing Club in his native Argentina has attracted attention from both City and Arsenal, but both see him more as a future prospect rather than somebody ready to start plying his trade immediately in the Premier League.
Inter Milan have already made a £23.5 million bid for the player, but now that has been trumped by Dortmund, who have apparently offered £28.5 million for Martinez, who has made 11 appearances for Argentina at under-20 level.
Dortmund are also hoping to secure a permanent deal for Michy Batshuayi, currently on loan from Chelsea, who scored his sixth goal for the club since moving from Stamford Bridge in January, notching the winner in Sunday's home win against Hannover.


Sumit from Nimbus was great in organizing our trip to Jaipur/Agra/Delhi. He went out of his way to make sure we were getting treated well in every location with local driver/guide that was setup by Nimbus. The guides provided were thorough in their knowledge. Thank you for giving my family a great experience.
We wanted to thank you and your team for your excellent work organizing our trips.You delivered on all of your promises each time. In fact, the: luxurious and well-located hotels, special considerations for adjusting the kids well, giving us a privacy as couple too,guiding us the tours that we should take when in that city and so much more; these all exceeded our high expectations. Your knowledge and years of experience providing travel services were very evident as each day unfolded on the thoughtfully designed and nicely paced trip you planned for us. It was also clear to me that travelling goes smoothly if you have the right connections – as you certainly do. Everyone you hired for us were: punctual, professional, enthusiastic and friendly. This personal touch, in particular the drivers and guides (all happy to answer questions and offer advice), made our trip authentic, stress free, inspiring, fun and memorable.
Two weeks before our trip, we received an extremely well organized packet including a very detailed itinerary, all the contact information we could possibly need.
We look forward to our next vacation with you.
With nimbus holidays, you don't go on vacations, you make memories. Loved the way we got everything as per our requirements. Sumit plans everything very carefully according to what we wanted. Thanks for some beautiful memories.


Sixteen-year-old Destyni Tyree did not let homelessness and living in a shelter stop her from her excelling in school.
The Washington D.C. teen not only graduated two years early, but she did so with a 4.0 GPA. She also was awarded a full scholarship to college.
Tyree told NBC Washington that she was motivated by wanting more out of life.
According to ABC News, Tyree's family situation worsened when her mother lost her job a few years ago. With rent going up, the ending up losing their home. From there, they had to move into the city's largest homeless shelter, which also put a damper on her grades and relationship with her teachers.
After pulling out of school, she enrolled in Roosevelt S.T.A.Y. High School, an alternative program and there she began to succeed. And others took notice.
"As a student, she is a natural-born leader," said Eugenia Young, principal of Roosevelt S.T.A.Y. High School. "She is a joy to be around, she has a good heart," Young added, calling Tyree a "bubbly person" and a "phenomenal" student, ABC noted.
In addition,Tyree took extra classes on Saturdays and worked 25 hours a week at an ice cream parlor. On top of the long days, she was involved in many school activities, launched the school's first cheerleading team and even organized a senior trip to an amusement park.
In the end, Tyree stressed that she refused to be another statistic.
Congrats Destyni! You make us proud.

The Shining (1980) Poster
I just rewatched the Shining. If you've been living on Mars and not seen it because you've just arrived I'd recommend not reading on as I am going to SPOIL IT ALL for you.
It must have been about 1996 when I last (and first) saw it, and boy is it as good as ever. I really am not a horror movie person (she says) though I can enjoy them if the mood is right: Night of the Living Dead for example or Sean of the Dead, I enjoy the odd (ok most) Hammer Horrors and to be fair most of Kubrick's films are elaborate nightmares, and they are all good. There's Eraserhead, anything by David Lynch. It's all horror if it's horrific (which covers at least half of all books and films ever). There's also a few very famous ones that aren't thought of typically as horror, such as the Passion of Christ, because Religion. Though in fact torturing an innocent soul for reasons of jealousy or power madness is right on point. So is sacrificing someone as payment for unseens sins. But I digress. Or do I?
While watching this time, it occurred to me just how American-Indian the wife character looks, she even wears her hair and clothes to suggest this idea. It is she who brings up the sacred burial ground point. This idea led on to my wondering if her (abusive) husband isn't meant to represent the European settlers? Their son - the next generation or future generations - is being urged (like us the reader or viewer) to listen to the wise and kindly cook-underdog-African American. (I'd completely forgotten that horrible scene where the N word is used which firmly places the father in the 'you're evil/ and doomed' category). The son is to be different (not a liar, insane, racist, alcoholic or misanthropic) to accept and understand his gift of clairvoyance in order to escape a rather 'deathly' cycle. The cook is by far the hero - the outside factor that isn't expected by 'the devils', the oil on troubled waters, the sacrificial lamb, the provider of the escape 'vehicle', the one who listens and warns the boy of the danger not to get drawn in. But the boy still tries the door.
It is the whisky quenched father though who is already on the verge of being a perfect representative for the what is sadly becoming (again) a common problem (typified by the so called leader of the free world Donald Insane Trump). He exhibits what I hesitate to call Toxic Masculinity though you could just call it narcissism by any gender. (Though toxic masculinity usefully refers to the way boys are brought up as though feeling or describing emotions is wrong, leading to excesses of said emotions unrecognised and thus likely to be expressed as other ideas/emotions incorrectly and dangerously, like shooting people or just being an aggressive lunatic one way or another, America I'm looking at you). He is completely rude, selfish, and abrupt. Even before he goes tangibly insane he is heading that way though sheer egomania. She is ostrich like and seems oblivious to his complete unabashed distain for her - he literally sneers when she speaks.
Nicholson is amazing though. He plays the overlook lunatic so well ("God-Damn"ing all the way) it makes me wonder how anyone in his life copes being near him… But he is an actor after all. What makes him most chilling however as he descends into a faustian fury is that he is smiling constantly.
Unlike Faust he isn't saved. He is, rather, compelled ever onwards to 'prove' himself - as the British ghost of his past self (America's ancestry?) taunts him with suggestions of his inadequacy.
It is a humorous film as well though, and that Stephen King is writing about a writer who just repeats him self over and over is a wry self criticism that isn't wasted. The self-importance of creativity is ever its flip side and shouting at someone offering you sustenance is a sure sign you've got cabin fever.
It is amazing to me this time round how every single line of the script is precise and meaningful, in particular the conference between the cook and the boy at the beginning. He says something along the lines of "Most folks have the shining and never realise it" and he isn't wrong. By the end of the film the once oblivious parents who disbelieve or refuse to take seriously their son, are themselves seeing the ghosts of the overlook hotel.
The cook is a beacon with his wisdom and patience who brought to mind someone who acted that way for me in my early life. Only a film as elegantly spare as this one, can be so malleable as to fit into almost any metaphor - from the personal to the global… it is an inspiration. And I am glad to say not quite as scary as I found it years ago.
The funniest part is the sudden shot of the caretaker frozen in the snow - his eyes still fixated in their comically mad expression.
The music at the beginning was very reminiscent of Clockwork Orange, we love our synth and the incredible camera work is a thrill 37 years later. The pacing, use of Chapters and inter titles is a clever reference to the authorial commentary - perhaps after all - the author's ego is what needed to die - in order for him to write what is now commonly recognised as a masterpiece.

The Silver Goat
Shot in London with a Cannon 5D in 11 days, The Silver Goat is a must-see for anyone interested in independent film making.
A story about comfort spaces, nepotism, power struggles and the questions around what is at stake in the artistic world - featuring Alexa Brown as Lydia Brass, an actress and daughter of world-renowned playwright, Sir Rowland Brass (Don McCorkindale). Lydia has decided to leave the acting world behind, until she develops a relationship with an ambitious American playwright living in London (Tom Colley).
After she marries him, he gradually coerces her back on stage, where she finds herself caught in a psychological game between her father and husband; a writer who is a plain old nobody, or no one altogether. The Silver Goat was first released in 2012, as the first film in the world created exclusively for iPad. It was downloaded in 25 countries, half of them in the first weekend. It reached the top 15 apps in Entertainment in UK and Czech Republic.

London Life With Liz
A lifestyle blog with a little bit of everything.
February 24, 2019 February 25, 2019 londonlifewithliz
Inside the Royal Hospital Chelsea
King Charles II, like his father, had many faults – but he did possess a sound portion of common sense. It was he, after all, who led the defence of London during the Great Fire of London – and he who, I learned today, was responsible for the construction of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. He understood that the large number of soldiers wounded or suffering from diseases, as a result of the English monarch's campaigns abroad, needed to be looked after.
Among the many other things I learned, during a wonderful few hours spent exploring, was that the term "Hospital" is used in its archaic form as a "place of refuge and shelter". And the Royal Hospital Chelsea really does have the sense of security that you would expect from a refuge: rarely have I visited somewhere so welcoming and with such a sense of family.
Legend has it that Nell Gwynne was responsible for its foundation; alas, the facts do not support this rather pleasing theory. The truth is more prosaic: RHC was built on the foundations of the partly-completed Chelsey College, founded by James I in 1609 to refute the teachings of the Catholic Church. Thereafter used as a prisoner-of-war establishment, Charles II gifted the buildings and land to the Royal Society in 1667 – repurchasing them 15 years later to build the Royal Hospital Chelsea, which Sir Christopher Wren designed. James II and William III would carry out further renovations.
Having learned something of the Royal Hospital's origins, I was keen to find out more about its residents, the red coat-clad 'In' and 'Out' Chelsea Pensioners who represent their organisation so beautifully. 'Out' Pensioners were former soldiers of the regular Army who had retired to civilian life and were entitled to a pension for long service or disability caused through service. During the 18th and 19th centuries heavy penalties, including death and transportation to the Colonies could be imposed for the impersonation of a Chelsea Pensioner.
'In Pensioners' refers to those soldiers who live in the RHC. On entry, they surrender their entire Army Pension, in return receiving uniform, food and medical care. Conditions of eligibility remain similar to those laid down by James II in 1685 – including "Free from obligation to support a wife or children". History was made in 2009 when three female In Pensioners were admitted, having earned this right through their length of service.
Approximately 150 In Pensioners, as volunteers, help with the administration of the Royal Hospital as clerks, guides and attendants for its Chapel, Library and Museum. I was privileged to meet & chat with a number of them and a friendlier, more charming group of people you could not wish to encounter.
The photo below depicts the uniform worn in 1893 by In Pensioners, including stockings and breeches. This form of dress remained largely unchanged until the adoption of trousers and the present-day scarlet coat during the middle of the 19th century.
I hadn't realised how much of this Grade I & II listed site is accessible to the public and it was a thrill to be able to wander its historic buildings, beginning with The Great Hall, which is still very much in use. It has gone through various incarnations: refectory-style dining and self-service among them, but messing was reintroduced in 1955 and there was a lingering smell of lunch when we arrived.
Notably, this room was used for the Lying in State of the Duke of Wellington (1852) and the 1856 Inquiry into catastrophes during the Crimean War. This is also where the Royal Hospital Chelsea's Christmas festivities begin every year – with the stirring of the Christmas Pudding, followed by the Cake and Cheese Ceremonies.
The Chapel and Infirmary are equally interesting. The Chapel, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to accommodate up to 500 people, was visited by Charles II just before his death in 1685. Its beautiful black & white marble painting is original and is laid upon a foundation of Danish paving stones. The fresco, by Sebastiano and Marco Ricci, depicts the Resurrection from St Matthew's Gospel and is thought to have been commissioned by Queen Anne.
Understandably, we weren't able to see around the Infirmary – but we did learn that the original building, also designed by Wren, provided accommodation for 32 patients and four nurses. Over the years, it has been supplemented by new buildings, including Sir Robert Walpole's former house.
Needless to say, there was no way that this complex of buildings could escape two World Wars unscathed – although the WWI bombing of London had no impact until 1918, when a 500lb bomb dropped from a Zeppelin destroyed Light Horse Court, causing five fatal casualties. Sadly, much more damage was sustained during World War II – together with significantly more casualties.
There is so much more I could say about this fascinating home to the nicest group of people I've ever met. I haven't even touched upon 'Founder's Day' or the Long Wards, or the Medal Room – and I've shared only a little of the contents of the Museum. That's because I want you to go there and experience this unique environment for yourself: I can promise you that there is nowhere else quite like it.

Home Earth Science Ancient temples in the Himalaya reveal signs of past earthquakes
Damaged and clamped pillar at Lakshi Narayan temple, Chamba, India. Damage likely to have occurred during the 1555 Kashmir earthquake. Credit: Mayank Joshi
Tilted pillars, cracked steps, and sliding stone canopies in a number of 7th-century A.D. temples in northwest India are among the telltale signs that seismologists are using to reconstruct the extent of some of the region's larger historic earthquakes.
In their report published online July 27 in Seismological Research Letters, Mayank Joshi and V.C. Thakur of the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology show how the signs of destructive earthquakes are imprinted upon the ancient stone and wooden temples.
The temples in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India lie within the Kashmir "seismic gap" of the Northwest Himalaya range, an area that is thought to have the potential for earthquakes magnitude 7.5 or larger. The new analysis extends rupture zones for the 1905 Kangra earthquake (magnitude 7.8) and the 1555 Kashmir earthquake (possibly a magnitude 7.6 quake) within the Kashmir gap.
The type of damage sustained by temples clustered around two towns in the region–Chamba and Bharmour–suggests that the Chamba temples may have been affected by the 1555 earthquake, while the Bharmour temples were damaged by the 1905 quake, the seismologists conclude.
The epicenter of the 1555 earthquake is thought to be in the Srinagar Valley, about 200 kilometers northwest of Chamba. If the 1555 earthquake did extend all the way to Chamba, Joshi said, "this further implies that the eastern Kashmir Himalaya segment between Srinagar and Chamba has not been struck by a major earthquake for the last 451 years."
The stress built up in this section of the fault, Joshi added, "may be able to generate an earthquake of similar magnitude to that of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake that devastated the eastern Kashmir."
That magnitude 7.6 earthquake killed more than 85,000 people, mostly in north Pakistan, and caused massive infrastructure damage.
To better understand the historical earthquake record in the region, Joshi and Thakur examined several temples in the region to look for telltale signs of earthquake damage. It can be difficult at first to distinguish whether a tilted pillar, for example, is due to centuries of aging or to earthquake deformation.
But Joshi noted that archaeoseismologists are trained to look for regular kinds of deformation to a structure–damages "that have some consistency in their pattern and orientation," said Joshi. "In the cases of aging and ground subsidence, there is no regular pattern of damage."
At the temples, the researchers measured the tilt direction, the amount of inclination on pillars and the full temple structures, and cracks in building stones, among other types of damage. They then compared this damage to historic accounts of earthquakes and information about area faults to determine which earthquakes were most likely to have caused the damage.
"In the Chamba-area temples, there are some marker features that indicate that the body of the temple structure has suffered some internal deformation," said Joshi. "The pillars and temple structures are tilted with respect to their original positions. The rooftop portions show tilting or displacement."
Other earthquake damage uncovered by the researchers included upwarping of stone floors, cracked walls, and a precariously leaning fort wall.
"The deformation features also give some clues about the intensity of an earthquake," Joshi explained. "For example if a structure experiences a higher intensity XI or X, then the structure could collapse. But if the structure is not collapsed but it tilts only, then it indicates that the structure experienced lower intensity of IX and VIII."
The Mercalli intensity scale is a measurement of the observed effects of an earthquake, such as its impact on buildings and other infrastructure. Scale measurements of VIII ("severe") and IX ("violent") would indicate significant damage, while higher scale measurements indicate partial to complete destruction of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.

Olympic athlete Tim Price (NZL) has topped the FEI Eventing World Rankings for the first time, overtaking Ros Canter (GBR) who last month ended the reign of compatriot Oliver Townend to hold the position for just 31 days.
Tim Price (40), who has been competing for over 15 years at the top level of the sport, took part in his first Olympic Games in Rio 2016, where team New Zealand finished fourth, one fence off the medals.
A sensational year in 2018 established his presence as a prominent athlete, with wins at Burghley CCI4* (GBR) with Ringwood Sky Boy and Blair Castle CCI3* (GBR) with Pats Jester. His second FEI World Equestrian Games™ outing at Tryon 2018 resulted in an eighth place finish in the individual and seventh in the team standings with Cekatinka JRA.
His third place finish at the CCI5*-L in Lexington (USA) this year with Xavier Faer was a contributing factor to his rise to the top, along with 10th place at Badminton CCI5*-L with Ringwood Sky Boy.
"I have to admit to wanting to achieve this for some time", he said, following the release of the latest FEI World Eventing Rankings. "It's gone from a dream, to a driving force, to a reality.
"It feels pretty special that's for sure, mainly because it's more a recognition of consistency, rather than just outright winning. I try to bring the best out of every opportunity I have. Not always to win, but always in a way that has my horses wanting to give effort for their own satisfaction and enjoyment. For me, it's the coming together of all the hard work, a strong focus and great partnership with my equine friends."
Former world number one Ros Canter has dropped to number four in the rankings. Other big movers in the top 10 are Kristina Cook (GBR), up from 33rd to fifth, Australia's Christopher Burton, from 37th to sixth, and Andrew Nicholson (NZL), who has jumped from 31st to eighth.
With more CCI5*-L and CCI4*-L competitions coming up in the next few months and the FEI Eventing European Championship in Luhmühlen (GER) from 28 August – 1 September 2019 there will certainly be more exciting sport action to follow and more changes in the ranking list can be expected.

Tim Price – early career
Tim Price started competing at the top level in 2002 with a horse called Desamoray.
After several attempts at the top level he was ranked 20th at Pau CCI4* (FRA) with his horse Vortex in 2008. The duo claimed the same spot at Badminton CCI4* the following year. His first CCI4* win came at Luhmühlen (GER) in 2014 with Wesko, and the same partnership came second at the CCI4* in Lexington the year after.
Tim is married to Jonelle Price (NZL), who is also a world class Eventing athlete having won team bronze at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
They became the first husband and wife to represent New Zealand in Eventing at the Olympic Games when they participated together at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. They also became the first married couple from New Zealand to compete at a World Equestrian Games (WEG) when they rode at the 2014 WEG in Normandy (FRA).

I stopped by Dealer World one night on my way home from picking up dinner because they looked like they were closed and I didn't want to have to deal with a salesman. As I was looking at a truck I wanted, I saw Steve coming up behind me. Steve was just leaving to go home but caught me looking at the truck. I asked him if he took trade-ins and he told me to bring in my car and he would see what he could do. I went back the next day and Steve gave me top dollar for my trade in. I ended up not getting the truck from him, but a Toyota Sequoia that caught my eye. It also had a lot to do with my wife saying it would be a better car for us in our situation. Steve made it really easy to give up my car and purchase another. Steve was not pushy or anything, in fact he has been nothing but the best. If I noticed a little problem with the car he has been quick to take care of it. I would recommend Steve to everyone who is looking for a good deal on a great car. I know that when it comes time for my family to get another car, we will be going to Steve.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have caused massive and widespread damage. Unfortunately, hurricane season isn't over. Here are some of the best Geospatial Intelligence System (GIS) websites that provide critical data so responding agencies know where the storm will hit.
The aftermath of Hurricane Matthew continues to cause major destruction. Learn how members of the public pitched in by using GIS-enabled technology to help emergency officials identify areas that needed immediate disaster response.
Across the country, communities are experiencing an increase of both planned and spontaneous protests. It is critical that public safety agencies, including emergency management, law enforcement, and the fire service, work together to prepare. Here's how to create a strategy for protests or civil events.
Social media has become a critical communication channel for emergency management agencies, yet many municipalities remain hesitant to embrace the technology. For my final thesis project, I evaluated my local emergency management agency's use of social media and developed a communication plan that adopts social media.
A recent Congressional committee meeting discussed how the nation must prepare for a widespread power outage. But more planning must be done at the state and local level. Here's why police and fire departments must include grid-down scenario planning and ways to modify response.


BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is a reputed degree and dentistry, a respectable, prestigious profession in our country. In India, there are a total of 295 dental colleges, which produce around 30,000 dentists per year. Till date 1.3 lakh dental students have registered with the Dental Council of India and the dentist-patient ratio is 1:5000 as against the desired ratio of 1:7500. This means there are more dentists available than necessary, and as a result, many dentists are now looking to quickly set up clinics in different parts of the country and start their dental practice as soon as possible.
It would be incomplete to not include educational costs in this articles since they weigh heavily in the first few years of practice.
For first year BDS alone, the fee in a government college is around Rs. 47,400 for open category students, as against Rs. 9,600 for reserved category students. In private colleges, the fee structure varies between 2.5 lakhs to 3.25 lakhs per year, for a period of four years. That's a total of anywhere between 10 lakhs to 13 lakhs, most of which could be student loan debt that students would end up repaying once they start their practice.
All such equipment undergoes daily wear and tear and over a period of time requires replacement.
This is one of the most common procedures that requires dental drills, dental burs ('drill bits', i.e. small, sharp metallic objects used for cutting teeth) and filling material.
Routine fillings (also called 'restorations') cost between Rs. 500-2000 to the patient.
For this simple procedure, the dentist uses local anaesthesia, syringe & needle, dental forceps, cotton and sometimes dental drills.
This common procedure costs the patient Rs. 100 to 5000, depending on complexity.
Another routine procedure, RCT requires several implements: dental drills & burs, several X-rays, dental files, measuring gauges, antiseptic solution, filling material (gutta purcha), cements, and more. The cost for each one varies widely, but the total cost ranges around Rs. 300 to 1500 per patient.
RCT costs around Rs. 1000 to 5000 for the patient.
Tooth preparation, which requires dental drills & burs, impression material (material & equipment for recording measurements of the teeth) and temporary crowns. Generally costs Rs. 100 to 300.
Crown fabrication, which is usually performed in a specialist dental laboratory. Depending on the nature & quality of the crown, costs range from Rs. 100 to 3000.
Crown fixing, which requires cements, dental drills & burs, and costs around Rs. 25 to 100.
Patients generally pay Rs. 1000 to 10,000 for a single crown.
These are metallic screws used to fix artificial teeth into jawbones.
Since this is a surgical procedure, the costs related to surgery range from Rs. 500 to 3000. Placing dental implants also requires equipment such as physiodispensers (machines that help drill the implant into the bone) and special dental burs, which together cost Rs. 25,000 to 2,00,000. Apart from these, the dental implants themselves cost Rs. 1000 to 10,000.
The cost to the patient is around Rs. 20,000 to 50,000.
To sum it up, the total costs of all the above ends up crossing 6 figures. Its obvious that even basic costs incurred for simple procedures are fairly sizeable!
Any good set-up in a busy area of a city costs a fortune to make and maintain, and running costs vary widely. However, do expect these costs to be no less than Rs. 20,000 and to easily reach Rs. 1,00,000.
Since rental costs keep changing from time to time, it is important to know general trends & rate brackets, for efficient planning. You can check out the commercial property rates at Magicbricks and Housing, among other websites.
It is clear that setting up and running a clinic is not easy, and with each passing day, costs are only going up. Prospective dentists must thus budget for costs correctly and rely on thorough market research to plan for their practice.
There is great pressure for the doctor to recover education expenses, pay off loans, generate enough revenue to cover all fixed & running costs, and still take something home. We at Practo strive to empower doctors with knowledge and information to help manage their medical practice effectively (thus lowering costs), to market their practice (thus bringing in more revenue) and at the end of it all, to help make their lives more peaceful & stress-free.

Philip Yancey. The Question that Never Goes Away (Zondervan, 2014).
Philip Yancey launched his illustrious publishing career close to forty years ago with the publication of Where is God When it Hurts? In his aptly titled 2014 book The Question that Never Goes Away Yancey returns to the enduring question of evil and suffering: why?
It should not be a surprise to anybody that a mother facing the all-consuming agony of losing a child will not be comforted by any "theological explanation." But that is quite irrelevant to the truth and importance of theological explanations. There is a time and place to explore theological and philosophical attempts to reconcile the divine nature with evil states of affairs. And measuring those efforts by their adequacy at providing comfort reflects a confusion of categories. They should be judged, rather, by their internal coherence and the evidence for them.
Not surprisingly, Yancey does offer a theodicy of sorts in these pages. And while there are genuine pieces of wisdom and insight complemented by Yancey's eloquent prose, it seems to me that his apparent decision to judge theodicies by the standards of pastoral theology rather than biblical, systematic, and philosophical theology lead him to make some questionable assertions.
For example, while Yancey concedes that God can redeem suffering, he appears very uncomfortable conceding that there is any providential intent behind the initial occurrence of evil. For example, he writes: "I resist those who assume that God sends the suffering to accomplish the good. No, in the Gospels I have yet to find Jesus saying to the afflicted, 'The reason you suffer from hemorrhage (or paralysis or leprosy) is that God is working to build your character." (96) Elsewhere he writes, "Never do I see Jesus lecturing people on the need to accept blindness or lameness as an expression God's secret will; rather, he healed them."(61) But again, it is simply fallacious to judge the quality of a theodicy by whether we (or Jesus) would share it with a person in the midst of suffering.
But what is particularly revealing is how Yancey denounces any linking of the punitive divine will to natural disasters. He states: "Theories ascribing disasters to God's judgment end up sounding more like karma than providence." (60) To be frank, that's a very strange comment given that the Bible repeatedly attributes natural disasters to a punitive divine will. According to the biblical authors, God punitive causes plagues (Exodus 7:25-8:32), disease (Exodus 9:1-7), floods (Genesis 6-9), volcanic eruptions (Genesis 19:24), storms (Exodus 9:13-35), hail (Joshua 10:11), earthquakes (Isaiah 29:6), and drought (2 Chronicles 7:13-14). Whether you choose to call this "karma" or not, it is thoroughly biblical, and Yancey does his readers a disservice by ignoring this material.
Another theme in the book's final pages is ecclesiological. In short, while the question where is God? is important and must be asked, it should be complemented by an additional question: Where is the Church? And thus, if people want to find God in this world of suffering, they can often look to the Christian workers in Japan, the Franciscan monks in Sarajevo, and Walnut Hill Church in Newtown (149).
Perhaps the most important theme in the book is hope. Yancey notes that far from shaking one's faith, suffering often renews and deepens faith. He presents the example of Archbishop Desmond Tutu whose faith was forged through two years as head of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa (121-22). Through this experience Tutu did not discover the answers for why, but his faith and hope were deepened nonetheless.
In conclusion, from the perspective of theological and philosophical argument, The Question that Never Goes Away is a mixed bag as it muddles categories and makes some dubious assertions. But as with all Yancey's books, it is eminently readable, it does convey some important theological points through vivid prose, and above all, it gives hope for those who suffer. Given that this is undoubtedly the book's primary goal, one might call it a success.

Q: IE11 Compatibility Issue I have a legacy website which works only in IE9 and below and for IE 10 the compatibility mode worked fine.
Now in IE11 to get to the compatibility mode I tried F12-> Emulation and in the "Document mode"  option and chose the option 8 but the website totally collapses.
But the website works perfectly on IE-8 but when the same site in IE-11 and the Document mode is 8 why does the website collapse.
Or is there any other way to set compatibility mode.
I even tried placing the meta tag in head section for the jsp pages but still did not work.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>

And how to run the website in Quirks Mode in IE11, the selection of Quirks Mode in older browsers was clear, but I'm not able to find the Quirks Mode option in IE11.

A: That nice little icon used to change compatibility mode no longer available in ie - 11
but you still can choose compatibility mode by different ways.
Read this nice blog post

There are many reasons why you should consider investing in commercial real estate. Make sure, however, that your decision is based on sound reasoning and a solid understanding of the market. The more knowledgeable you are about commercial real estate, the more lucrative it can be. These tips make a great starting point that can help you learn more about commercial real estate.
Whether you are buying or selling, don't shy away from negotiation. Make sure that you are heard and that you fight for a fair price for the property.
Pest control is an important issue to look at when you rent or lease. It is even more important to look into the building's pest control policies if you are looking to rent or lease in a region where building pests are common.
Research your prospective brokers to see how experienced they are with the commercial market. Be sure that they specialize in the area that you are buying or selling in. When you find the right broker, make sure your agreement is exclusive.
Inspectors should always have credentials available for viewing, should you require their services in your real estate dealings. Many people in certain fields are not accredited, including pest and insect removal services. By hiring an experienced professional, you're less likely to run into problems after you buy the property.
If you want to sell a property, advertise it locally and on a wider level too. Too many sellers assume that their property is likely to only sell to someone local. This is a way of thinking you should avoid. There are many investors who are interested in financing properties which are outside their area as long as they are a great deal.
Take a look around properties you are interested in. Think about having a contractor as a companion to help evaluate the property. Begin negotiating and the process of offers and counter offers. Before you decide whether you want to accept an offer or not, be sure to carefully evaluate all counteroffers.
The borrower needs to order an appraisal for a commercial loan. The bank will disallow any appraisals ordered by other people. Order the appraisal yourself to avoid a headache.
If you plan on investing in commercial real estate, you should consider the tax benefits you will receive. Investors will receive tax breaks for both interest and depreciation of property. Other investors deal largely with "phantom income" - income that is not paid in cash, yet is still taxed. Find out if you will be getting this kind of income before you invest.
Before initiating a purchase, be sure that you are negotiating with a customer-focused company. Otherwise, you could end up having costly, but avoidable, consequences from your deal.
As this article mentioned, there are numerous reasons why people invest in commercial properties, and each reason requires additional research. If you apply the advice you learned in this article to your own commercial real estate house buying companies endeavors, you will be well on your way towards maximizing your profits.
