« Bad Penny Ch. 11
A most pleasant rape »
A Twist of Fate
The closed heavy draperies helped blanket the room in darkness. Outside the wind howled with its wolf-like voice. Just that sound made the house seem colder than it really was.
"Put your head down and rest," he whispered. "You know you want to. Things will be better in the morning, I promise. Everything always looks different in the light of day."
He hated lying to her, but if it could give her at least a little peace in this blackest hour, it was worth it. Things would not be better in the morning. What had happened here could not be undone. As he looked at the blood covering her, he knew that her life was coming to an end.
Was her fate pre-determined or would she be able to change it? Would her fate be determined by the turn of a card…?
Four months earlier, Sophie Huffman and her father Floyd were traveling to Las Vegas for her 18th birthday. It should have been a time for celebration but it brought only misery to her father and her. For the past ten years they had been on the lamb from loan sharks, unpaid bills and exorbitant amounts of gambling debts.
It was not an unusual occurrence for Sophie. Her mother died when she was eight years old, and since then her father started running up gambling debts and trying to outrun loan sharks from almost every state in the country. For the past ten years, Sophie had to learn as she went along in life, as she never got the chance to finish school. They lived out of the back of Floyd's old beat-up Chevy and Motel 6's. She was an absolute genius with numbers, but never had the chance to do anything with her genius. She worked out a year or so ago that if her father bet big enough in Las Vegas on a sure table he would be able to wipe his slate clean and let her finish school. Not that she would see a cent of the money. He had come to the same conclusion that the only way to clear his gambling debts was through more gambling, but if he won he would likely just pay off his creditors then "invest" the rest in more casinos until he was right back where he started.
As they drove along the highway at extraordinary speeds they left behind all traces of their former lives and identities. They were now using the aliases of Wesley and Megan Smith. This was his one and only chance to finally clear all his debts that followed them everywhere they went.
They drove all night as they kept one step ahead of everyone he owed money to. They took turns driving; as one slept the other drove. It had been this way since Sophie had turned fourteen and her father taught her to drive. The sun rose over the desert, blinding Sophie's tired eyes through the rearview mirror; in the distance she could just make out the Vegas skyline amongst the dust and haze. The raven-haired girl with big brown eyes reached over to her father and tapped him on the shoulder it to wake him up.
"Dad…DAD! We're here! I can see Vegas," she shouted to wake him up.
"Mmm…What?" He jumped up.
"Okay… wake me when we get to the hotel…" he yawned as he lay back down.
Sophie put her foot down on the gas pedal as they sped towards Las Vegas. She could not wait to get a long hot shower and a solid eight hours of sleep.
They passed a police car on the way into Vegas that clocked the speed of their car at 104 mph, but let them pass without pursuit. She pulled up to the casino's entrance and put the car in park. The valet came over and handed her a ticket. The bellboy took the bags out the car as Sophie woke her father and dragged him out the car.
"We're here, GET OUT!" she told him sternly.
They walked together into the hotel towards the reception desk to check in under the alias, with their newly acquired identification and credit cards.
"Please sign here, Mr. Smith…" the girl at reception said with a smile as she pointed at the slip of paper.
"Why? I have never had to do this before," Floyd protested.
"Procedure. It's for security sir," she said as she handed the key to the bellboy.
"Tom, our bellboy, will escort you to your room, sir. And if you need anything just dial 0 on the telephone. There will be someone here 24 hours a day. Enjoy your stay, sir," she said.
Their suite was on the 27th floor, so the bellboy took the key from the receptionist and led them to the elevator. There was a long awkward silence in the elevator journey as no one looked at each other and no one said a word.
The bellboy opened the door for them and placed the bags inside. As he stood waiting for a tip he watched Sophie, his eyes following every move she made.
"Get a good enough look, pal?" Floyd asked him angrily.
"Err… I'm sorry sir. I'll be going now," he announced as he turned on his heels, scurrying for the door.
Floyd and Sophie spent that day and the next planning how he was going to find the 'hot table' on his own. Sophie would have to trust him not to give into his gambling urges. They decided he would case the casino floor the night before; he would watch all the tables but not bet a single cent. It was his test before casino siteleri the big night.
He was dressed in tourist clothing to blend in as he cased the floor, eying tables, security, and floor walkers. It went off without a hitch as he found two 'hot tables'; those tables were on fire that night, all night. He went back up to the suite to discuss strategy for big night with Sophie.
"Well…" Sophie asked bluntly as he walked through the door.
"There were two tables tonight, both equally matched. Both watched like a hawk, that's the sign. The tables that are being watched constantly are the tables to go for," he chanted off as he went into the kitchen for a beer.
"And…?" she piped up.
"And what?" He popped his head around the corner.
"Did you bet? Did you get the urge!" Sophie asked angrily.
"…yes, but I didn't act on it! God you'd think I was the child and you were the parent," he informed her sharply as he chugged down a beer.
"You shouldn't be drinking for tomorrow, you need a clear head to get it right," she sighed, as she knew she was talking to a brick wall.
She headed to her room, as she was not going to get into an argument with him over it. She turned on the television as she lay down on the bed. Her head hit the pillow and she was out like a light. This was the moment she had longed for all week, a comfortable undisturbed night's sleep.
Sophie was awakened suddenly at 5am by her father's loud singing. He was wasted; he had spent all night drinking and was now going to fuck up her chance of a normal life. She covered her head with her pillow as she tried to get back to sleep, but it didn't help, so she pulled the mattress into the bathroom and went back to sleep on the bathroom floor.
She woke up around midday to absolute silence. Sophie knew that silence was never good and never hassle free.
"Dad…DAD…" she called out from the bedroom.
Nothing, complete and utter silence.
She crept out of the bedroom on her tip toes; she looked to the left then the right, nothing. She checked the whole suite; he was nowhere to be found. The balcony doors were splayed open with the curtains billowing into the wind. Sophie's nipples became instantly hard with the cold wind blowing through the door, she walked toward the doors, shivering in her tiny pink shorts and gray tank top. Her hand pulled the curtains open to reveal her father passed out on the balcony. She closed the doors and curtains as she ordered lunch from room service.
"Happy Birthday, Sophie. 18 years old and it's turned out like all the rest, unnoticed," she said to herself as she sat waiting on the food.
There was a knock at the door 20 minutes later. Tom the bellboy delivered a cart that was overflowing with more than enough food for four people.
Sophie opened the door in her shorts and tank top, showcasing her voluptuous toned body that no teenager should have. Her nipples, still hard, strained against the material of her tank top.
"Hey, bring it on in." She shot a smile at him.
"Emm…Okay." He put his head down as he tried not to look at her.
"Are you okay?" she asked as she tried to get his attention.
"I'm fine, Ma'am." He looked her up and down, licking his lips unconsciously as he noticed her nipples.
"Ma'am? I'm 18, not 80! Come with me," she giggled as she walked toward the master bedroom.
He followed her like a lost puppy.
Sophie stood in front of the king-size bed with her hands on the hem of the tank top. She pulled it up toward her full perky teen tits as she revealed her tanned, toned stomach to him. She smiled and beckoned him with her index finger.
"I really shouldn't be here," he stammered as he walked toward the bed.
"Then why are you standing in front of me, Tom?" she smiled.
"Because I've wanted to do this since the moment I saw you," he whispered as he grabbed her head and kissed her with a raw fiery passion.
His hands roamed down her shoulder to the hem of her tank top. Slowly he slid it up her torso over her perfect C cup breasts, pushing up the top to expose them to his eyes. Breaking their kiss, he pushed her arms above her head and removed her top completely, then threw it across the room.
Sophie started to undress the bellboy as he kissed down her neck and onto her chest, his tongue tracing the path from where his lips had previously been. As she slid his shirt off his shoulders and onto the floor, he reached her hard and sensitive nipples. He kissed them both gently, followed by sucking on them, then he gently grazed his teeth over each one. Sophie gasped and shuddered as he did so. She gripped onto the back of his head and pushed him into her bosom.
Her hands slid down his back to his trousers. She furiously unbuckled them letting them fall to the floor with a thud. He continued down her abdomen to her navel, and his hands grasped her firm bubble butt before hooking his fingers under the waistband of her shorts, removing them in one swift movement. He kissed down canlı casino her left thigh and back up the right before he threw her onto the bed.
Tom knelt between her knees and looking up at her with a smirk, he pulled her toward the edge of the bed, placing both legs on his shoulders as he kissed the inside of her thighs toward her dewy slit. He slid his hands around her thighs, pulling her lips back as his tongue licked from the base of her slit to her rosebud clit. He continued like this for a few more strokes before concentrating on her clit. Sophie was gasping and gripping onto the bed as his tongue revolved over her clit at speed, making her blood boil, her pulse race, and her desire for his cock to go off the Richter scale.
As he used his finger to massage her asshole and flicked his tongue over and around her clit, her breath grew faster and more ragged. She was about to come when suddenly he stopped. He let go of her altogether, and her legs fell onto the bed suddenly. Sophie opened her eyes as she looked up from the bed in horror. Her father held the bellboy in a headlock. He dragged him to the door, and threw him out into the hallway naked.
"What the fuck, Sophie! You fuckin' little slut!" he spat at her as she covered herself with the sheet from the bed.
"Why be so modest now?" he demanded. "You weren't five minutes ago with that complete stranger!" He drew his hand back and struck her across the face.
She let out a squeal as Floyd grabbed a fist full of her long dark brown hair at the nape of her neck. Dragging her to her bedroom, he threw her against the back wall before slapping her again. She lay on the floor curled in a ball sobbing into the floor as she clasped her face in her hands.
He stormed out of the room, closing the door and blocking it with a chair from the dining room. Sophie would not be going anywhere anytime soon and he knew it.
Floyd decided it was time to play cards. He changed into his tuxedo and headed down to the casino floor with the duffel bag full of money. He went over to the cashiers' desk and handed the bag over in exchange for 50k in casino chips.
"Please sign here sir… protocol," the young girl behind the glass said.
"Fine!" he said, exasperated.
"Have a good night sir, and good luck," she smiled falsely to him. Floyd smiled falsely back at her and walked away with the chips towards tonight's "hot table."
It wasn't so hot tonight. He had expected to lose a little at first before hitting a winning streak, but less than an hour later he counted his chips and realized that he was down to his last $1,000.00.
Common sense told him to cut his losses, but Floyd had never let common sense get in the way of his gambling. He was about to bet the rest when he saw someone important-looking approaching.
"Good evening Mr. Smith, or is Huffman?" the man asked. "My name is Michael and I manage this casino. I'm confused as to why you are registered as Wesley Smith but signed F. Huffman. I think we need to talk. NOW!" The manager sat down next to him at the table and continued.
"You see, Floyd, we know all about you and your pretty little daughter Sophie. And all the debt you have. Did you really think you could just run up all the debt and no one in Nevada would know about it? Come on, you're not that stupid, now are you Floyd?" he said sarcastically.
"I have a proposition for you. If you win, I'll keep your secret, pay off your debts, and give you money for Sophie's future. IF you can beat me at MY game. If you lose, I get Sophie and you get your 50 grand back. Deal?"
Floyd couldn't really see a down side to the proposition. Even if he lost, he would come out $49,000 ahead. And all he would lose would be that bitch of a daughter of his.
"What's the game?" Floyd asked, a little suspicious. It sounded almost too good to be true.
"One game. Highest card wins. That's it, simple," Michael smirked.
"Deal," he answered bluntly.
"Dealer, cut a new deck. Deal the top two cards out," the manager ordered.
The dealer opened a new pack, shuffled them, and slid two cards onto the table, one to Michael, one to Floyd.
"Turn them over, gentlemen," the dealer said impatiently.
Floyd turned over a ten of spades and waited with bated breath to see Michael's card. Michael turned over a king of hearts.
"Well my friend, it's a pleasure doing business with you. Where is Sophie?" he asked abruptly.
"Where's my money?! Money first then you can get her," Floyd demanded.
Michael snapped his fingers and a security man appeared beside him with the duffel bag.
"Please escort Mr. Huffman off the premises. And make sure he never returns!" he ordered. "Now where is Sophie!"
"She's in the suite, locked in the room," he said with a shrug, opening the duffel bag to make sure it really was full of his money.
"Do not return to Las Vegas Mr. Huffman or it will be the last thing you do," Michael informed him, then turned to another security guard. "Go get my prize and bring her to my office," kaçak casino he ordered, handing him the master keycard.
As Michael sat patiently waiting for his henchman to bring his spoils to him, he thought of different ways he could use her. He decided to wait and see what her attitude toward him would be as to what he would sentence her to.
He could hear Sophie yelling and objecting to being brought down to the mangers office, not surprising as she had no clue what had happened. They burst through the door, and the henchman, known only as Ice, threw her in to the chair as he wiped the blood from his face.
"She's a fighter," he spat as he walked outside, closing the door behind him.
"Where is my father?! Why am I here? I haven't done anything wrong!" she shouted at Michael.
"Well my darling Sophie… Your father is on his way out of Nevada, and you are here because he bet you in a card game and now you belong to me," he cackled.
The color drained from Sophie's face as she sunk into the chair across the desk from him in utter shock. She sat blinking but not moving or breathing. She was completely dumbstruck.
"He bet me?" she whispered as she frowned.
"Yes, and now you are my property to do with as I see fit. And I know exactly what to do with you, missy!" he laughed.
The Diamond Cavern was a popular bordello and escort agency that the casino owned at the end of the strip. Michael was no stranger to the place, as he had a stake in what went on there, so he visited it often. The frequency of his visits increased over the next three months; he had new girl in training there, a young and innocent beauty with dark hair and brown eyes, sure to be a big hit with the clients as soon as her training was finished.
He claimed he just wanted to protect his investment, but he had another motive for visiting the Diamond Cavern as well. He had made a mistake in not taking her right there in his office the day her father gambled her away, and he planned to rectify it.
With her training period soon coming to an end, he was getting impatient. One day, he walked in the front door of the bordello and called up the stairs to "Mama," the name that everyone called Phoenix, the Madam of the bordello.
"I'll be one minute Michael; wait in my office," she hollered.
Phoenix was in Sophie's room, currently occupied pinning the girl's hair.
"You look beautiful, Baby girl." Phoenix said, stroking Sophie's cheek as she looked at her in the mirror.
She could clearly see why Michael had given her the working name of Bambi; the girl had big brown doe eyes, a reminder of her innocence.
"Stand up and give me a twirl…" said Phoenix, holding back tears.
Phoenix knew Sophie was too smart to be working as an escort, she should be back in school learning how to become the boss not a bottom rung whore. She had tried everything to get Michael to change his mind about her, but nothing would stir him from that path for her. He had ulterior motives, and Phoenix knew it.
"You look like a million dollars, Sophie." A tear dropped from Phoenix's eye.
"You know you're like a mother to me, don't you?" Sophie asked.
"Uh huh, Sugar." Phoenix hugged her.
Phoenix knew all about Sophie's turbulent upbringing, and she felt nothing but pity for the girl. Some of the other escorts under Phoenix's care had similar hard-luck stories, but Sophie's was particularly sad. Over the past three months, Phoenix had taken special care of her as "Bambi" was trained and prepared for her new life.
"Stay here, Sugar, and stay out of his sight, okay?" Phoenix instructed Sophie as she rubbed her shoulder.
Phoenix walked out to her office where Michael was sitting, drumming his fingers on the desk waiting on her.
"What can I do for you today, Michael?" she smiled.
"You know what I want! I want Bambi, I want to break her in. I want to be her first client. Make it happen," he demanded.
"You should know better than anyone, Michael, I do not take demands, not even from you. We made a deal. When you turned her over to me, we agreed that what you get out of her is a percentage of the cash she brings in. You want more, you have to to go through the same process as everyone else. If you want to be her first client, then place your bid and wait," Phoenix smiled.
Michael slammed his fists on the desk.
"You can't protect her forever, and I WILL HAVE HER!" He stormed out of the office, knocking over another girl in his haste.
Phoenix had her own plan for Sophie, and she was just waiting on a certain person coming into The Cavern. She hoped it wouldn't be too long until he arrived, for everyone's sake.
The auction was rigged, of course; just an excuse to allow Phoenix to tell Michael to go to hell when he came around demanding to be Sophie's first client. But Phoenix had no intention of selling Sophie's first time to the highest bidder. She had a john in mind for the girl, so she was in frequent secret communication with a particular mystery bidder, revealing to him the competitors' bids to give him a chance to out-bid them. He had money, and was willing to spend it on something special. When the bidding ended, he was, of course, the winner.

The use of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has revealed an extraordinarily diverse population of functional RNAs present in cells. However, current approaches poorly detect RNAs that are highly modified and/or extensively folded, such as tRNAs. The complementary methods of Zheng et al.1 and Cozen et al.2 have now overcome many of the technical hurdles for globally sequencing tRNAs by biochemically removing select tRNA modifications before RNA-seq library preparation. These clever strategies have revealed new insights into tRNA regulation and should be useful for identifying other modified RNAs.
Although tRNAs have often been considered abundant 'housekeeping' RNAs, recent work has revealed that tRNAs are tightly regulated and play a role in controlling cell physiology3. Differences in tRNA expression patterns allow distinct translational programs to be expressed in proliferating versus differentiated cells4, and even modest overexpression of the initiator methionine tRNA is sufficient to induce cell proliferation5. In addition, tRNAs can be cleaved into smaller RNAs, some of which regulate cell proliferation and are more abundant than well-characterized microRNAs6. There is thus a pressing need to better understand how tRNAs are globally regulated by cellular cues.
Whereas reverse transcriptase (RT) cannot extend through a fully modified tRNA (left), treatment with AlkB removes select methylated nucleotides to allow efficient reverse transcription and deep sequencing (center and right). Full-length and truncated cDNAs are shown in purple and green, respectively.

Salim Mvurya, Salim Mvurya Mkala or Mvurya Salim Mgalla (born 1970) is a Kenyan politician and Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs. He became the first governor of Kwale County, Kenya after winning in the 2013 general elections. He vied on an Orange Democratic Movement ticket but later joined the Jubilee Party of Kenya.  It was announced on 30 August 2017 that he will be named Chairman of Kenya's Council of Governors. Unfortunately he didn't get to, instead governor Wycliffe Oparanya took over from NANOK.Two of his sons study at the Alliance High School namely Hassan Mvurya and Abdallah Mvurya.

Education
Salim Mvurya was born at Kadzandani Village, Kinango District of Kwale County. He went to Mavirivirini Primary School in 1979 then Mpeketoni Secondary School from 1987 to 1990. He then proceeded to Egerton University for his first degree and graduated with Bachelors in Agri-Business Management in 1996. He holds a master's degree in Participation, Power and Social Change from the Institute of Development Studies, in England, UK. He also has further certificates in NGO management from MS-TCDC in Arusha, Tanzania.

Career
Salim Mvurya has 17 years of social development and leadership experience. In the year 2008, he was appointed to be the Acting Country Director for Plan Kenya. Other organizations he has worked for include the Aga Khan Foundation and Tegemeo Institute of Agricultural Policy and Development (an institute of Egerton University). Some of the programs he implemented were funded by DFID, USAID, Ministries of Foreign Affairs in Netherlands and Finland, and NORAD, Norway.

Politics
In the 2013 general elections, Mvurya ran for Kwale governorship on an ODM ticket with Fatuma Achani as his running mate. His rivals were James Dena, Kassima Rigga Mambo, Simeon Mwero Mkalla and Mwarapayo Mohammed Mwachai. Mvurya won by more than half the votes cast.

In May 2014, Mvurya ousted Nairobi governor Evans Kidero to become vice chairman of the Council of Governors.

On 29 September 2014 while at a rally with Raila Odinga in Kinango, Mvurya and Odinga were attacked by an elderly man who hit them on their backs with a stick. The security detail at the rally quickly subdued the man who was later released after it was established that he was mentally unstable.

After several months of speculation, Mvurya announced in September 2016 that he was leaving ODM and that he would run on a Jubilee Alliance ticket in the 2017 general elections. His deputy, Fatuma Achani, had cited interference from other county chiefs in Kwale politics. Rumors had also been rife that senior officers in ODM had conspired to deny him the 2017 ODM ticket for what they termed as his refusal to be loyal to them and also for working with Jubilee.

On 30 August 2017, Kenya's Council of Governors agreed to elect Mvurya as the council's Chairman.

Taxes can do a lot of good. They pay for schools, parks, police and hospitals. But that's not all they can do. High taxes on cigarettes have saved many lives. And when it comes to commodities that should be taxed, we've been ignoring the cow in the room.
From health reasons to cruelty to animals to global warming, the arguments for a Beef Tax are compelling. It's time for meat eaters to pay for the harm they do.

The first quest ever to appear in AO, now on Arcanum - better late than never, eh? Actually this quest, as far as quests go, is one of the more extensive and also well-balanced there is as it pertains to all sides. And if you haven't done it yet, you really should.
It wouldn't be quite right to do this quest so late after it showing up without going into a few of the nightmares that has followed it's birth and seeing how the designers went back and forth before everything was finally in place.
First came the little robots, and there was much rejoyce. Popping up around major settlements, these little fun fellas would throw snide remarks at you before suddenly attacking, and besides just being something out of the ordinary, they also provided a good fight and some neat loot back then. It was not uncommon for each of them to drop high-level bracers and rings (and also the parts needed for the first quest), and for those who could, these bots would be hunted down on a regular basis. At first they didn't do anything though, as the quest wasn't even implemented yet.
Then came Alvin and Dodga, the two characters that would eventually give out the missions. They caused some major headaches like no other. First off, they would dissapear after anyone talked to them, and have a 2 hour despawn before they showed up again. Back then, talking to NPC's was still done in vicinity, so it was first come first served. With thousands of players trying to talk to these at the same time, with 2 hours inbetween, you can imagine the ridiculus amount of 'camp-hours' and anger that stockpiled every day.
At first, only the first of three parts worked and people really looked high and low to figure out what came next. Looking back, it was chaotic times in the world of Rubi-Ka - but enough of the 'good old', let's cut to the chase and show you how it's all done these days, in a much prefferable setting.
First off, the special agents responsible for setting it all off - Alvin Odeleder (Omni-Tek) and Dodga Demercel (Clan). If you happen to be one of the undecided yet, and still lingering around the neutral zones, you can just pick either one and go with it.
Neither of these dissapear anymore, so just strike up a conversation with them as you usually would any npc. There's a slew of questions to be asked and answered, but it's all fairly obvious so you shouldn't have any trouble going through it and getting the first step of this grand quest uploaded to your interface.
Onto the task at hand. We need 8 separate pieces of strange robotic parts. These can be found on several different places on Rubi-Ka (see a compilation of suggestions at the end of part 1 below) but have one thing in common - yep, they drop from robots, where robotic creatures frequent. Being that there are so many parts involved, this can often be a mind-numbling process as with a low drop rate and chances of finding plenty of duplicates, you're often looking at kiling hundreds and hundres of mobs to assemble all pieces. The last missing piece of course being the hardest.
Once you have them all, or even the first few in the correct assembly order, you can start putting this strange contraption together. The pieces must be assembled in the correct order - by using piece #2 on piece #1, then piece #3 on the combined #1 and #2 etc - from top to bottom of the listing starting with the Suspicious Looking Parts of Biotechnology and ending with the Highly plastic mother-circuit array. Combining these pieces yield a low xp return too.
A very suspicious looking polyhedral casing emitting warmth and occasionally some strange sounds, like in 'I am sure he was trying to say something' sounds.
The first level pads are quite identical for the Clan and Omni-Tek side, and adds several nice bonuses. 75 extra health and nano, +4 to First Aid, and 20 to all Armor Classes, all in the right or left shoulder slot. Requirements to wear are belonging to the appropriate side, and being level 30 or higher. For neutrals this works a little different, and for some odd reason they can do these quests - for either side - and wear the pads of their choice, or even both.
In addition to the first level pads, you'll also be rewarded with two tokens - one regular token (giving x amount of tokens based on your level/titlelevel) and one bravery token.
And last, besides the new pads you'll also find in your inventory a card - very important, keep this one and don't loose it as this will unlock the quest for the second level pads.
Ready for more action? Head on over to Part 2 of this quest.
Mechdogs are typically around level 40, Probes around 30, Buzzsaws around level 10. The levels on the A-500's to A-4000's vary greatly but the lower end of the scale starts around level 60 and they end up at around level 130. Mechdogs are considered to be the ones most 'worth the time and effort' though.

Zimmatic Blog
Steps ahead in farming with Zimmatic by Lindsay
Zimmatic centre pivots have proven vital in driving the success of farms. A decent irrigation system can benefit the farmer through ease of use and better water management. This is exactly what Tobias Musairiri from Zimbabwe experienced.
Tobias farms on Kwasamaita Farm, 10 km outside Chegutu, about 100 km from Harare.
"This is a second-generation farm. It was founded by my late father, Tobias Musariri senior, in 1979, after retiring from the motoring industry. I continued with the farm when he passed away in 2012," Tobias explains. "When he initially purchased the land, there was absolutely nothing on the farm, except for one little building that was made of asbestos, but that was it. So, we built it from the ground up."
Clearing the land took them a couple of years.
"We sunk some boreholes and started using a system with aluminium pipes for irrigation. Initially, we put 20 hectares under irrigation," he elaborates.
Today, the successful farm cultivates 100 hectares of seed production for local seed houses, as well as 400 hectares of commercial maize. In total, there is 500 hectares under pivot irrigation.
"We provide seeds to SeedCo and grain which goes to the local Grain Marketing Board under commercial and government programmes. We used to specialise in the 727 cultivar, but now we also grow the 719 which has a longer maturity," Tobias says. Other seed crops include Bali and wheat.
The farm's main source of water is the Mfure dam and boreholes.
Steps towards better irrigation with Zimmatic by Lindsay
Back when Tobias and his family used the aluminium pipe sprayers, they had to move them every four to six hours, depending on the crop. "We must have done that for about 25 years," he recalls. "As we expanded our fields, we relied on this form of irrigation, because that was what we could afford at the time. But if you do not attach the rubbers correctly, it will not irrigate properly. We would get in trouble for over irrigating certain areas and wasting electricity and water."
Later, at the turn of the century, they discovered the benefits of centre pivots. At that point they were cultivating just over 100 hectares. "We bought a second-hand Zimmatic pivot from a friend. When we first put it up, it gave us some problems, but it was such an amazing change. There was no need to wake up in the early hours anymore," he recalls.
By 2012, we had 120 hectares under pivot. "As our operation grew, we found pivots to be the most efficient. It changed the concept of farming for us, and it has increased our yields per hectare."
Zimmatic centre pivot success with Lindsay technology
Currently, there are twelve pivots on the farm.
"We have started changing our control panels to the 700 series which is Wi-Fi ready. A part of this process is setting them up on FieldNET to ensure all our pivots can be remotely controlled and monitored," Tobias explains. "Technology has influenced our irrigation decisions greatly. Our pivots are all communicating with us, and we are busy linking them up to a central farming system."
This means that Tobias' children who are studying abroad can even keep an eye on the pivots from where they are. "Even when they are not around, they can use the Zimmatic technology to get a glimpse of what is happening on the farm."
Everything irrigation related is taken care of by Zimmatic. There are three pump stations that service the 500 hectares of irrigated fields.
Tobias praises the success he has found with Zimmatic. "We can now confidently say our yields have doubled and our labour requirement has been cut down. Previously there were twelve labourers handling the irrigation, but now we have two who move around on their motorbikes.
"Before we upscale even more, we want to improve our yields. There are other products that we are bringing onto the farm such as potatoes and citrus, and Waterwright, our Zimmatic dealer, is walking us through it," Tobias excitedly describes. "Our plans involve using Zimmatic pivots for some of those crops as well."
With this technology running smoothly on his farm, Tobias also has a student program that educates students about the FieldNET technology. "Usually, we get top students from seven or eight universities across the country. They are very smart, tech savvy, and excellent with statistics. This shows how, in general, technology has made people's lives easier, because helpful technology is something they easily understand," he says.
Service from Lindsay that drive success
During the years of expanding the farming operation, the Musariri family's path crossed with Mr Graham Wright. "He is an amazing man who was keen to help us get his brand of pivots: Zimmatic by Lindsay," Tobias states. Graham Wrightis the sales representative for Lindsay at Waterwright. "Mr Graham continuously visits our farm to advise us about the best decisions and to make suggestions. With his help and the advancing technology, he is always keeping us one step ahead. It is this technology that will continue to make us more efficient and reduce labour costs due to its increased use."
Tobias explains that the dealership is very hands-on, and he can call them with a concern no matter what time of the night or day it is. "We are a happy farm thanks to our Zimmatic products. I continue to tell my dealer he needs to give me a Zimmatic sign so I can put it on my farm because I am so proud of the service and products," he boasts.
"In our experience, the brand of machine makes a difference because it is not just about the machine, it is the long-term relationship you build with the brand supplier and the quality of service. This is not just in the purchase stage but also afterwards.
"I would recommend Zimmatic pivots to other farmers because it is more than just a product, you also receive guidance on the various opportunities you could be maximising on your farm. You are also advised on how to best use the Zimmatic equipment, which is a plus. With advancements in technology, I think as a farmer you want to try and stay on top of new trends that will really be efficient and allow you to scale up.
"We have a very good relationship with our dealer, we quarrel a lot but we always get to the bottom of what we need to do," he smiles. "We tease each other like that."

Alekszandr Anatoljevics Kerzsakov (, 1982. november 27. –) orosz válogatott csatár.

Pályafutása

Zenyit
Alekszandr Kerzsakov Szentpéterváron a Szmena labdarúgó iskolába járt focizni 1999-ben. 2000-ben az amatőr FK Szvetogorec csapatát 18 góllal segítette.

2001-ben a Zenyithez igazolt, első meccsét márciusban játszotta, míg debütálni júniusban tudott a Szpartak Moszkva ellen. Első szezonjában második számú csatár volt Alekszandr Panov mögött. A 2000–01-es idény végén a Zenyit a harmadik helyen végzett az Orosz Premier League-ben. 2002-ben Andrej Arsavinnal együtt behívták az orosz válogatottba.

2003-ban egy cseh menedzser Vlastimil Petržela első számú csatárrá léptette elő Kerzsakovot, így gólkirály tudott lenni a bajnokságban. Petržela vezetése alatt Kerzhakov mesterhármast lőtt a 2004–2005-ös UEFA-kupában az AEK Athén ellen. A Zenyitnek segített bejutni a legjobb 32 közé a Vitória, a Beşiktaş, és a Bolton ellen, valamint egy duplával a Sevilla ellen. Az egyenes kieséses szakaszban gólt lőtt a Rosenborgnak és a Marseille-nek, így juttatva a Zenyitet a negyeddöntőbe, ahol aztán a Sevilla egy 5–2-es győzelemmel múlta felül a remekül játszó Szentpéterváriakat.

2006 nyarán Kerzsakov elhatározta, hogy elhagyja az orosz csapatot.

Sevilla
2006. december 28-án Alekszandr a Sevillával egy 5 és fél éves szerződést írt alá 5 millió euró ellenében. Juande Ramos Luís Fabiano és Frédéric Kanouté cseréjeként számított rá. Első pályára lépésére 2007. január 14-éig kellett várni, míg debütálására 2007. január 28-án került sor a 4-2 Levante UD elleni mérkőzésen, amelynek végeredménye 4-2 volt. A Tottenham elleni UEFA-kupa negyeddöntőn győztes gólt szerzett, így 4-3-as győzelemmel jutottak be az elődöntőbe, onnan pedig a döntőbe, ahol aztán sikert arattak, a Sevilla pedig zsinórban másodszor nyerte meg a második számú európai kupát.

Miután Juande Ramost felkérték a Tottenham vezetésére, az új edző Manuel Jiménez vezetése alatt mindössze négy meccsen játszott és csak negyedik számú csatár volt Luís Fabiano, Frédéric Kanouté és Arouna Koné mellett. Mikor kiderült, hogy Kerzsakov el akarja hagyni a Sevillát, a Tottenham, a Manchester United és a PSG is érdeklődni kezdett iránta.

Gyinamo Moszkva
2008 februárjában Alekszandr Kerzsakov 3 éves szerződést írt alá az orosz Gyinamo Moszkvával.

A válogatottban
Kerzsakov 2001-ben az orosz U21-es csapatban kezdte válogatott pályafutását. A felnőtt válogatottban első mérkőzését 2002. március 27-én Észtország ellen játszotta.

Oleg Romancev behívta a 2002-es vb-keretbe. Oroszország első két meccsén (Tunézia és Japán ellen) csak a kispadon ült, de a belgák ellen Valerij Karpin cseréjeként már játszott.

Jacob Schaffer, "Hawk Eye"
Jacob Schaffer
by Ben Townsend
With this self-created music video, Jacob Schaffer's "Hawk Eye" features drums by Ava Luna's Julian Fader and keys by Noisebody's Noah Barker. Here is the 2nd of monthly memoirs + video/singles leading up to Good Chi, Jacob Schaffer's debut full length album.
Last month we left off at me discovering my Good Chi, ass-naked screaming off the edge of a cliff, in the mystical Costa Rican rainforest…
To simplify a deeper meaning, Good Chi = Good Vibes.
Back then, I was restarting my life, breaking through mental barriers of the past, beginning to plan my big move to New York City. To pursue a music career, I landed an apprenticeship at Quad Studios. A place where Tupac was once shot and radio hits are still made.
New York City, far from the rainforest, is an urban jungle of passion, chaos and desire. I truly learnt that the city never sleeps watching my studio mentor who claimed he could go a week without sleeping.
Even though I grew up in Jersey, the suburban backyard of the city, it was quite a culture shock to start living in it 24/7, trying to make connections and meet people. The closer we got, my new mentor and crew were hooking me up with studio time and getting me into clubs for free, underage. This was a proper introduction to New York City. A complete flip-turn from the zen life I had just been living in Costa Rica for a month, searching for some deeper meaning. Which leads me to a question…
What are the deepest desires of your greater good? The instinctive 'Hawk Eye' inside that knows better.
It seems in written history that mankind has always been on some search for enlightenment in one way or another. Various paths of thought say this is only achieved by abstaining from desires (sex, drugs & rock n' roll), yet abstaining would be taking action on the desire to become enlightened itself. Part of me argues that this "desire-fearing" is a way to control societies compiled of humans who are innately programmed by survival mechanics, to in fact, desire.
I believe there are people in this crazy world who do possess some understanding, but I don't believe there is just one way to get there. There is even the Tantric Yoga school of thought that encourages seekers to indulge mindfully in life's desires, attaining a conscious unity of body and spirit. Yes, Tantra is much more than just crazy sex positions from the Kama Sutra!
I like to think the key to life has something to do with balance.
Partaking in desires can certainly help you see life from a different perspective, but it is important to reference this new found angle from a clear and sober state of mind. One can't un-see what they've seen. If you keep searching for what you've already found, that can be a one way ticket down a dark and hungry path.
I was waking up to how uncomfortable my studio friends' club-life made me. We shared a bond between our hawk eye's. Seeing eye-to-eye in the spirit of things, there was a divide in our lifestyles. I am not saying that my way was better than anyone else's, we were just different. My surroundings were no longer aligned with the artistic path I envisioned moving to New York City for. I felt conflicted, knowing some people would be envious of the position I was getting ready to escape.
Imagine, a naive new-age rocker kid in a smoke machine filled, EDM blasting club surrounded by rolling, face-painted, self proclaimed "fetish-freaks". I loved the free expression of these people, but where was I? The v.i.p. entry didn't make sense to me for all of the favors I was doing and drugs were not an acceptable form of payment for my time. Waking up to my surroundings, the studio sessions weren't the main event anymore. Even if it meant ditching the studio time, I had to leave this chaotic situation for my greater good.
My time at Quad Studios felt like an opportunity of a lifetime, it was very much a daydream. I learnt 2 very valuable lessons: How to produce records and how to avoid being swept away by desire. I do look back fondly on those crazy days.
So, my then east village bedroom became the recording studio and I started working at the Grand Central Apple Store, where I met Noah Barker of Noisebody who played keys on 'Hawk Eye'. Some close friends started migrating to Brooklyn where I eventually ended up. That bedroom in Bushwick is where most of the album, Good Chi, was made over the past year.
DIY, recorded solo in my apartment, I did spend a few sessions at Gravesend Recordings co-founded by Julian Fader who played drums on a couple of Good Chi tracks, including this one. I highly recommend this studio located at the Silent Barn for anyone who needs help recording in New York City!
I made Good Chi hoping to bring some clarity to my own human experience, reflecting as a mirror for your own. It's been quite a trip. Creating this project has been a true reflection on my life so far, through the good and the bad.
Remember, Good Chi cannot exist without Bad Chi… Living in New York City certainly reminded me of that. Please stay tuned next month for more Good Chi leading to the album release springtime.

The great ethics debate
Sahar Habib Ghazi Published January 23, 2012
The video in this blog is part one of a six part series on ethical journalism. Veteran journalist Abbas Nasir sits down with Hosh media and explains how to deal with different ethical issues that may arise for reporters, be it citizens or members of the press.
News vs. Opinion:
Gunny bags, chopped body parts and a kidnapping. Were you sick to your stomach when you read the horrific tale of Shamsul Anwar that recently went viral on social media sites? Were you equally appalled when Facebook status updates and tweets started to suggest the story was a hoax? We really need to ask ourselves: how did we get here?
Ten years ago for a few hours everyday, we could tune into our radios and TV sets to get the latest state approved news bulletins through PTV and Radio Pakistan. Now, 24 hours a day and seven days a week we can surf between two dozen independent news channels and numerous radio stations that bring us the sights and sounds of the latest political fiasco, tragedy and terror attack.
Few would argue that the liberalisation of broadcast media, in a country where few can read and write, has changed the way Pakistanis are informed. But many question the massive proliferation of the industry without appropriate institutions and colleges to train its professionals. Some have even called for regulation of the industry and the enforcement of a 'code of ethics.'
Which is easy to demand, but difficult in practice.
There are different schools of thought when it comes to the enforcement of journalistic ethics.
Most journalists would argue that if the government comes up with a code, or is any way linked to enforcement, then our media is entering water that threatens its very independence.
Globally, most credible news organisations have drafted their own code which they make public like the New York Times guidelines, the BBC's editorial guidelines, the Guardian's editorial code, and Al-Jazeera English's code of ethics.
Currently no news outlet in Pakistan follows this practice.
Many smaller companies voluntarily follow the code prescribed by the Society of Professional Journalists — an independent organisation of journalists that came together in 1923 in the US.
From their website: 'The SPJ Code of Ethics is voluntarily embraced by thousands of journalists, regardless of place or platform, and is widely used in newsrooms and classrooms as a guide for ethical behavior. The code is intended not as a set of "rules" but as a resource for ethical decision-making.'
In fact, their code has been translated in dozens of different languages and is used as a guide in many countries around the world.
The code dilemma
But in recent times, leading academics in journalism, Theodore L. Glasser of Stanford University and James S. Ettema of Northwestern University have called for codes to be developed organically through the consensus of its consumers rather than being imposed from the top by news organisations or journalists. Their argument is that there is a conflict of interest in the media regulating its own behavior. In a paper published in the journal Journalism Studies in June of 2008, they argue:
"Written by and for professionals, codes of ethics normally serve to isolate professions by insulating their members from outside pressure; they protect professionals by letting practitioners decide for themselves and by themselves what matters in the realm of ethics."
For them, "being ethical requires the facility to argue articulately and deliberate thoughtfully about moral dilemmas, which in the end means being able to justify, publicly, compellingly, their resolution. The aim of ethics, in a word is accountability."
While Glasser and Ettema are calling for something that has never been done before — developing a code outside the tight grasp of professional journalists — the SPJ has laid out some ways in which the larger public can play a greater role. In their code, which was revised in 1996, the Society calls for journalists to "be accountable, to their readers, listeners, viewers, and each other."
Everything they suggest can easily be enforced in Pakistan in today's age of technology.
On websites, news outlets can open up all their stories to comments and respond to criticism and feedback. Some news organisations already do. But you rarely see an editor responding publicly to the criticism. Some news sites, only allow comments on select sections like blogs and opinions. To be truly accountable, all content should be opened up to debate. And news sites should set aside staff to handle moderate comments and respond to queries.
Pakistan's broadcast problem
But let's not kid ourselves; the real problem is the 24/7 beast — TV. I worked in the industry from 2005-2010, and saw Pakistan go from five news and entertainment channels to 24 round-the clock news channels. I also witnessed what we in the industry call modular news (pre-recorded segments) quickly transition to live 24/7 bulletins through satellite and new-bee TV reporters. So I speak guiltily, from the inside.
The availability of DSNG (Digital Satellite News Gathering) vehicles changed everything. First, a news organisation invested in one in 2006, a few others quickly followed suit. By the time General Pervez Musharraf pulled the plug on media in November of 2007, dozens of DSNGs were everywhere. The same year also marked the year our news cycle was on fire — starting from the lawyer's movement, to the Lal Masjid siege, to the return of Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. Simultaneously, there was also a tangible spike in violence. According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, 2006 witnessed 1471 terrorism-related deaths; in 2007 there were more than double, with 3599 fatalities, 6715 deaths in 2008 and 11585 lives were lost to terrorism in 2009.
From 2004 till 2010, the broadcast industry grew six-fold to 24/7 news channels. Our universities offering journalism courses did not grow with the same ease nor did they adjust their curricula to the needs of 24/7 live news. Many untrained and inexperienced reporters were pushed into a dizzying environment of breaking news.
To be fair, some news channels did hire international journalists and consultants to train their team as they prepared for their launch. But few offered or offer refresher courses for its existing employees or new courses for its incumbent employees, despite their massive growth.
Besides continuing to train their reporters and staff, these news organisations need to draft their codes, either through public consensus or through discussions with their editors. Once complete they need to make their guidelines available on their news sites. They also need to open up to greater public scrutiny, as is suggested by the SPJ code.
As a first step, the 'letters to the editors' format in newspapers needs to translate on to our TV screens for news channels to be held accountable and to be considered ethical.
Journalist Matiullah Jan launched an interesting cross-industry experiment in 2011 with his show, Apna Gareban where journalists were called out on some dubious ethical issues. Sadly, the show did not last beyond a few episodes. In an interview with Slate magazine Jan said, "(I've) reconciled to the fact that there were pressures on the organisation from the highest levels of the media industry."
Some news channels have opened their tickers to SMS comment streams. But unfortunately, many are usually moderated to show the good, rather than the bad. This feedback mechanism should be taken seriously. News outlets should respond to the criticism they receive either through a half-hour weekly show hosted by their editors with live calls or through short segments scattered in their news bulletins.
The media has to remember to 'abide by the same high standards to which it holds others.' Otherwise, soon the industry will be in murky water, where our readers and viewers look at us with more skepticism than trust.
Sahar Habib Ghazi worked as a TV producer and editor in Pakistan from 2005-10 and later launched Hosh Media. The volunteer-based organisation of bloggers and journalists recently put together a crash course on some of the stickiest ethical dilemmas journalists in Pakistan face.

Ethics course is needed not only for the journalists but for all university students, teachers, professors, government servants, military officers. Each employee of the US federal government gets training for ethics every 12 months. All professional organizations like engineering, accounting, medical have to pass an ethics examination inUS before they are elected as members. Why not copy some thing good from my adopted country.
Hashim nizamani
Media is the third eye of its nation. It must be opened if the nation wants to rise. In such a country where corroption is in its highest one can't expect deadly alert media, despite of it Pakistani media is working laboriously. However, the want of sufficient institutions for journalism causes lack of perfection, despite it our media is successful to acknowledge its responsiblities.

Encyclopaedia of Indian Iconography, is intended to focus attention on the traditional details concerning images and their worship. The details given in these volumes are taken entirely from the traditional texts of Agama and Silpa-sastra, like Brhatsamhita, Manasara, Kasyapa-silpa, Isana-siva-guru-deva-paddhati, Silpa-ratna, Padma-samhita, Hayasirsa-samhita, Vaikhanasagama and Rupa-mandana. The entries include not only the Gods and Goddesses of popular so-called Hinduism, but also the divinities of Jaina (both Digambara and Svetambara divisions) and Buddhist (Mahayana) religions. The deities worshipped in Nepal and Tibet are also included. Sadhana-mala has been used for descriptions of Buddhist deities, and Rupa-mandana for Jaina deities. Most of the entries are illustrated by line-drawings of images in temples, monasteries, basadis and in museums. Topics of peripheral interest (like temple-construction, image-making worship rituals and Agama divisions) have also been included here.
"The volumes follow the Sanskrit alphabetical order (akaradi) to facilitate translation into Indian languages. The first volume begins with the words beginning with vowels in Sanskrit alphabet. Followed with mute consonants and the rest of the consonants in the subsequent volumes.
"Among various and synonymous names of the deities, the better known ones have been selected for entry, while cross-references also have been indicated. Wherever necessary, background stories for particular iconographical representations have been given."

Curtain-Up!
When the COVID-19 pandemic suddenly caused the Lewis Walpole Library staff to begin working from home in mid-March, some quick figuring was called for. Archivist Sandra Markham, who is usually wrestling with linear feet of paper in boxes on tables, suddenly shifted to wrestling hundreds of data cells in spreadsheets on a computer screen in her living room. Like all peer institutions, the Library has legacy data on its archival collections, compiled in various ways over many years, that needs to be updated and codified before it can be displayed in Archives at Yale, the university library's database of record for archival collections. That legacy data presented perfect project possibilities for working from home.
Even more perfect would be to find material that had already been digitized for a patron but those images had never been offered to the public online, and just needed metadata enhancement to bring the description up to par for Archives at Yale. Technical Services Head Ellen Cordes presented Sandra with a collection that could be worked on from at home, as well as actually seen from home: a group of 660 small theatrical scenes that had been removed from books (before entering the Library!) and were known as the Collection of 18th-century British Theatrical Prints. The digital images were stored on a library server that the staff could easily access remotely, making further description possible from any living room.
The prints were arranged alphabetically by title of the play—except for works by Shakespeare which were filed as a separate group—and at the end were filed a batch of unidentified theatrical scenes. All had been listed in an excel spreadsheet, so the existing data was portable and easily manipulated. An examination of the list revealed that no authors, save Shakespeare, had been recorded, nor had the names of printers or publishers, though all three of those categories are important to Lewis Walpole Library patrons.
After making a survey of the existing information, Sandra created a processing proposal for the staff to consider: research the literary pieces to determine the author and correct title for each work illustrated; enhance the description of each image to pull in artists, printers, and publishers; and then file the prints by author and under each author by title. Once that suggestion was accepted, she broke the project into components and enlisted the help of her two Technical Services colleagues, Eileen Horansky and Scott Poglitsch.
Eileen took on researching the authors and full titles of the plays, some of which turned out not to be theatrical works at all, but simply short stories. Scott was in charge of the physical description of each print which, in addition to accurately transcribing all information appearing on each impression, included finding universally authorized names for the artists, printers, and publishers to ensure they would be cataloged correctly (another essay could be written just on librarians' controlled vocabularies). His discovery was that many of the prints were not, in fact, published in the eighteenth century, but instead in the nineteenth. This painstaking—some might say tedious—work was accomplished over the summer, and when finished it enabled a whole new spreadsheet to be developed, with the collection now arranged in a logical intellectual order. Four steps remained before the collection was fit to appear in Archives at Yale: rehousing the prints so their physical order would match the intellectual, and new permanent box and folder numbers could be assigned; uploading the spreadsheet to ArchivesSpace, the backend database behind Archives at Yale; uploading the digital images and their associated metadata into LadyBird, the backend platform behind the library's Digital Collections system; and adding the relevant digital image links from LadyBird to their matching metadata components in ArchivesSpace.
When the Library reopened in September, the collection was rehoused by Scott and read through for a final time by Sandra. After she uploaded the newly revised spreadsheet, Mark Custer, Yale Library's guru of all things ArchivesSpace, exported specific data points that were required by Sarah Coe, Yale Library's expert in loading data and images to LadyBird. Mark passed his new spreadsheet to Sarah, who worked her magic to create the links that Mark then was able to load back into ArchivesSpace and voilà! A finding aid was born for the renamed collection of British Theatrical and Literary Prints. Patrons are now able to search in Archives at Yale for a playwright, title, artist, printmaker, or publisher, then click on a link to see an image of the print. And when the Lewis Walpole Library opens again to the public, patrons can easily request online a box and folder to examine in person a small piece of theatrical (or literary) history.

I have a simple event that moves the camera to a point in space over ten seconds. However, when the ten seconds has elapsed, my camera snaps back automatically to it's starting position, which is not desired. How do I get it to "stick" at the target location? Adding a wait step did not accomplish what I'm looking for.
If the event ends, it's most likely the camera controls kicking back in and repositioning the camera - to prevent this, you'd have to block the camera controls using a Block Camera Control node in the event.
This step is in Character Creation. I could follow the easy path, and just ignore any camera moves, but camera moves are cool, and they should be well understood (and, obviously, I don't understand them well at this point!).
Start Character Creation Script, which has been tested, and works, and has no camera commands at all in it.
I could just start with step 3, and accept that camera moves can't happen in this situation, but I'm almost positive it's just that I'm setting it up wrong.
2 - the camera moves up to the new position, but (BEFORE the event ends!) when it starts the Character Creation dialogue, the camera snaps back to (0, -10, 0).
Even mounting it to an empty game object, and moving the game object, the camera DOESN'T MOVE.
There is no player yet defined at this point, so a lot of the examples go out the window.
How do you move the camera?
Also, is there any camera control used at that point?
EDIT: I now have a different problem. If I load the scene as the "New Game Scene" in the Main Menu settings, it works perfectly. If I load it from a "Load Scene" event, it breaks the camera (to be clear, the camera doesn't move at all).
Take a look through my prematurely triumphant message below. Is there something that is happening when a scene is loaded by setting it as the "New Game Scene" that is NOT done when it's loaded through a "Load Scene" event?
Because the camera isn't in the game proper yet, and I don't really have a player to focus on or around, I found that a lot of the examples didn't work for me. I did take to heart your Block Camera Control suggestion, and it worked a treat, at least insofar as I was able to rule OUT that ORK was doing something that was mucking me up.
For the record, I put the camera in the scene where I wanted it to start. I added a Block Camera Control node at the beginning of my script, and added a six second delay to the event. In those six seconds, I moved the camera up out of the water using one DoTween movement animation, and then added a second one to make the camera yo-yo between two points (it's at sea, and this added a nice effect).
Thanks for your help! I'm absolutely sure that there's a way to do this strictly using ORK events, but now it's working*, so... I guess I'm moving on with the actual game!
UPDATE: There IS a difference! In the Load Screen Node, it has a block to set where the player group is spawned. Since I don't HAVE a player group yet, this throws an error, and the camera movement never fires. The New Game Scene logic doesn't have this, because it knows you don't have a player yet.
So I can sacrifice my opening cinematic or... what, assign an invisible prefab to the player group, then remove it after Character Creation? Is this possible?
I got it! And only using ORK commands!
I created a second, unrelated event just to handle the camera, and that runs completely separately from my main character creation script.
If you don't have a player (or don't want to spawn one), set the Spawn ID to -1 in load scene nodes or scene changers.

Johann-Henrich Karl Daniel "Jo" Krummacher (* 27. Dezember 1946 in Heidelberg; † 25. Februar 2008 in Stuttgart) war ein deutscher evangelischer Geistlicher, Publizist und Politiker (CDU).

Leben und Beruf
Nach dem Abitur 1966 am Kurfürst-Friedrich-Gymnasium in Heidelberg absolvierte Krummacher ein Studium der Evangelischen Theologie, welches er 1972 mit der ersten theologischen Dienstprüfung beendete, und der Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg und der Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. Nach dem Vikariat in Sigmaringen und Kornwestheim, sowie der 1974 abgelegten zweiten Dienstprüfung, wurde er 1976 Pfarrer an der Johanneskirche in Kornwestheim. 1987 wechselte er als Pfarrer für Religionsunterricht und als Studienrat an das Hegel-Gymnasium in Stuttgart und wurde 1992 Pfarrer in Zavelstein sowie Bezirksjugendpfarrer im Kirchenbezirk Calw.

Von 1996 bis 2005 war Krummacher schließlich geschäftsführender Direktor der Evangelischen Akademie Bad Boll, wo er unter anderem die "Akademie für Führung und Verantwortung" ins Leben gerufen hatte, eine der ersten Einrichtungen der Evangelischen Kirche, die sich mit den Themen der Leitung, Führung und Steuerung von Unternehmen, Organisationen und der Verwaltung befasste. Seit 2005 war er Pfarrer im Wartestand.

Krummacher war lange Jahre als Publizist tätig und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Funk-, Buch- und Zeitschriftenpublikationen zu den Themen Bibel, Ethik und Kultur. Er war Mitbegründer und von 1990 bis 2005 Chefredakteur der Kulturzeitschrift Das Plateau.

Er war in zweiter Ehe mit Ingrid Elisabeth Krummacher verheiratet und hatte insgesamt sechs Söhne. Er starb am 25. Februar 2008 nach kurzer und schwerer Krankheit.

Politik
Krummacher war zunächst Mitglied der SPD, die er jedoch aus persönlichen ethisch-religiösen Differenzen verließ.  2001 trat er in die CDU ein. Seit 2005 war er Mitglied des Bundestages, in den er als direkt gewählter Abgeordneter des Wahlkreises Stuttgart I eingezogen war. Nach seinem Tod blieb sein Mandat unbesetzt, da die CDU in Baden-Württemberg zu Beginn der Legislaturperiode über drei Überhangmandate verfügte. Bei der Bundestagswahl 2005 hatte er hier 39,2 % der Erststimmen erreicht.

Gesellschaftliche Ämter
Krummacher gehörte dem ZDF-Fernsehrat und dem Kuratorium der SRH Hochschule Calw an. Er war außerdem Vorsitzender des Vereins für Kirche und Kunst in der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Württemberg und ordentliches Mitglied im Verwaltungsrat der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek.

Japan's Longest Day
The Pacific War Research Society
Language: English Release: 1968
Publisher: Kodansha International
Genre: Non-fiction ISBN: 9784770028873
Andrew Nguyen (submission)
Originally published in 1965 by Bungeishunju Ltd. under the name "Nihon no Ichiban Nagai Hi" and brought to the US by Kodansha in 1968. Titled Japan's Longest Day, the publication deals with the 24 hours that lead up to the broadcast of Hirohito's speech. A speech that would signal Japan's surrender during World War II. In those 24 hours, the fate of Japan would be decided between those that wanted to surrender and save their home and those that were willing to sacrifice the country to save her honor. In researching for this book, the Pacific War Research Society, a panel of distinguished Japanese scholars and journalists, interviewed many of the participants of the event. A great deal of work also went into scouring all published material available about that day. It proved to be a difficult process as twenty years had passed. For some that were interviewed, memories had faded. Other participants had taken a vow of silence, not divulging about the 24 hours. Meanwhile, others mentioned contradictory information about the matter. Such contradictory statements or the unwillingness by the participants to talk can be seen as a form of Japan's overall inability to look at itself in the mirror about the war.
In relation to this site, this book would go on to serve as the basis of Toho's movie of the same name. Staring many of Japan's famous actors of the day, Japan's Longest Day appeared in Japanese theaters in 1967. At the time, the production christened the 35 anniversary of Toho's founding. It mostly follows the format of the book with a small section leading up to the 24 hours before the surrender, which takes up most of the film. The movie achieved great success critically, and the film even airs on Japanese television annually. More recently, the concept underwent a remake and appeared in Japanese theaters in August 2015 from Shochiku under the title The Emperor.
As for the contents of the book: the events that surround Japan's surrender to the allies during World War II are common knowledge. In an attempt to force Japan to face the inevitable, the US dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Furthermore, on the same day Nagasaki disappeared from the face of the Earth, the Soviet Union finally entered the war against Japan. The Soviets did so with a stunning attack on the Kwantung Army.
Despite this, Japan's government was still in a deadlock. Eventually those that wished for peace implored onto the Emperor to intervene, which he did on August 14th, 1945. In convincing his subjects to accept the Potsdam declaration, Hirohito told them "to bear the unbearable." Even a majority of the hardliners eventually and reluctantly accepted the order.
What is not completely known, however, was fact that there were those that did not desire this outcome. Those that would do everything they could to prevent the surrender from taking place. Those that preferred annihilation to surrender. Those that feared the consequences for Japan falling under foreign control meant the loss of their entire culture. As a result, several groups within the army resorted to military coups, taking out potential targets to stop the surrender. The main coup took place at the Imperial Palace as army rebels led by Major Kenji Hatanaka started an uprising that seized control of the Imperial Palace. Interrogating the prisoners that they managed to acquire, the rebels would search for the recordings of Hirohito's speech. Their goal was to destroy them and then prepare another speech, proclaiming Japan's intent to fight to the death. If the coup plotters had succeeded, then, the bloody fighting could have continued and perhaps resulted in the utter destruction of the Japanese home islands. Fortunately, they did not succeed. Japan was finally able to end the nightmarish war that it had foolishly plunged itself and the Pacific into for four long hellish years. With the overall events taking place in the 24 hours between August 14 and 15, thus came the title to describe the series of events as Japan's Longest Day.
The book tells its story in two parts. The first part is the lead up in one large chapter from July 26 to August 14 and then the second part deals with the 24 hours of the incident, which ends with the emperor's broadcast playing on Japanese radio at 12:00pm on August 15. The content in the second part of the book has chapter titles that do not look out of place on the Fox series 24. Throughout the book, there are pictures of the large cast, the locations and several artifacts from the period.
After the story concludes, there is a section of notes to the overall story and a long list of characters that were involved in the event with the key members having their last name bolded. Some names had asterisks right next to them to indicate that the authors interviewed them for the book.
Overall, this is a very interesting book. It serves as a cultural look as well as examining some elements that still remain despite the changes after the occupation.
