Because I found other blogs timelines exceedingly helpful during my application process, I kept track of my own.
There is a line break between my COS of my service in Jordan and my reapplication. Note: because of my status as a PCJordan Evacuee, I did not have to re-interview or do some of the other steps of the application process, this sped up my application.
December 18, 2013 – Submitted additional education form, email from PC representative stated I should hear from PC again in the new year.
January 23-26, 2014 – Researched each post: PCV blogs, youtube videos, PC website, google search "Peace Corps [country] welcome book", discussed with family, called RPCV cousin and former FSO uncle for advice as well. I chose Jordan.
April 21, 2014 – Email from my Placement Officer, final placement questionnaire given to me.
April 24, 2014 – Panic attack, email deadline read "Friday April 24", Thursday is the 24, Friday is the 25 – is it Thursday or Friday? I submitted in a hurry upon returning from a trip!
May 16, 2014 – Status updated to invited. However, I don't see it or the email due to GMAIL sorting it as an ad and my night shift schedule.
May 17, 2014 -18th – 1130pm (I've been working overnights this summer and try to keep the sleep schedule on days off) I am applying for another job, and on a whim load PC application portal. It says "Invited" I nearly scream in the hotel lobby! Frantic, I call home to see if there is a letter there, and check all my GMAIL boxes and find it! I'm invited to Jordan! I cry, jump on the hotel bed and call to wake up everyone (midnight?? who cares!) I sit down and read through all the material they sent me, then at 3am I submitted my acceptance. Immediately I receive an email from the medical office on what to do next.
July 10, 2014 – Physical and all the blood tests – my arm is very sore from the polio shot!

The post below is about NSF gadolinium lawsuits. There are now new gadolinium lawsuits alleging that gadolinium is toxic and causing something called gadolinium deposition disease.
When I started practicing law, I spent most of my time defending a pharmaceutical company in AIDS/hemophilia cases, litigation involving approximately 10,000 completely innocent people who contracted HIV from the use of Factor VIII and Factor IX blood products. Regardless of how you viewed the liability of the involved drug companies, everyone agreed on the magnitude of the tragedy (which was very underreported in the media).
My experience in those cases eventually led me to become a plaintiffs' lawyer because I quickly realized I would be far more energized by representing innocent victims who needed my help than large pharmaceutical companies. After I became a plaintiffs' lawyer, I thought I would never be involved in a mass tort lawsuit with facts as tragic as the AIDS/hemophilia cases, but the gadolinium MRI contrast litigation, while on a thankfully smaller scale in terms of number of patients, is in the same league of suffering – a cruel, progressive disease that you contracted through absolutely no fault of your own.
Gadolinium is the contrast given before an MRI (or MRA, magnetic resonance angiography, although this practice was never FDA approved) to increase the contrast of blood vessels during an MRI procedure so that the reviewing radiologist can better diagnose abnormalities. It works well for that purpose.
While gadolinium did improve MRI diagnostics, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NSF/NFD) resulted for many patients with kidney issues who received a gadolinium contrast MRI. NSF/NFD causes thickening or tightening of the skin and connective tissues, which severely limits a patient's ability to move, and it also causes pain, muscle weakness, scarring of internal organs and difficulty bending joints. It seems that patients' lives are potentially at risk because of the damage to their organs, and destroyed by their inability to move. What we can all hope for is that science will move quickly forward to find ways to make this NSF/NDF more manageable.
More than 215 cases of NSF/NFD have been documented in the last decade, but despite ongoing research, the etiology of the disease was originally unknown. Now, it is clear that the use of gadolinium contrast agents in patients with kidney failure is the culprit. In June 2006, the FDA first said that NSF/NFD can be caused by the use of gadolinium contrast MRI. Last year, on May 23, 2007, the FDA asked manufacturers to include a new boxed warning with gadolinium contrast informing health care providers that patients with severe kidney insufficiency who receive gadolinium contrast are at risk for developing NSF/NFD. Additionally, the warning states that patients with liver problems are also at risk for developing NSF/NFD if they are experiencing kidney problems.
The lawsuits against the five manufacturers of Gadolinium have a simple premise: these companies knew that gadolinium is toxic and, if misused, could lead to serious injury. Accordingly, these companies should have properly designed and tested the gadolinium MRI contrast and given more consideration to vulnerabilities of the different types of patients who would be using the contrast, in this case, patients with kidney disease or renal dysfunction.
I met recently with a confirmed NSF/NFD client here in Maryland. These cases are just absolutely heartbreaking. This client I met is a wonderful woman who was struck down in the prime of her life by NSF/NFD. Thankfully, she is in better spirits than most people you meet. 2013 Update: Her case settled for millions. But she died. An unbelievable human tragedy.


Gratuitous pic of Fergus. What do you suppose he was thinking at that moment?
Young Fergus and I have been going to Obedience School for the past five weeks. Next week is graduation, so we have some practicing to do. The main thing I'm learning about how to train my puppy is grasping how he thinks and what motivates him. Short answer: treats, treats and more treats. Especially ham. He soaks up praise, too — Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are famous for wanting to please their humans — but, at this stage, it's really all about the treats.
I can't wait to see if there is a Roomba featured anywhere in this hilarity/reality. Certainly the one in my home inspires fits of barking and anxiety. It's why I have it programmed to run at 1 a.m.
*sigh* Blogging is hard work.
Congratulations on graduation Master Fegus!
He's such a charmer! Even the trainer of our class said she thinks he's the sweetest, best boy. Well, maybe the "best" was implied……….
The only reason I haven't yet gotten a roomba is because I fear my dog would try to eat it. He is not an obedience school graduate.
😆 Fergus is too small to eat it, so he just dances around it barking frantically. For a mellow dog, this thing makes him frenzied. S'why I run it in the middle of the night and nowhere near the bedroom. 😳 Thanks for visiting the blog, and for the comment!
So are we getting pics of Wee Fergus in a cap and gown?

Learning to Cook in Pittsburgh at Market District Robinson
Last Updated on August 25, 2020 by Angie
Did you know that the Giant Eagle Market District Robinson Township offers cooking classes? Before we were invited out to try a recent pie making class there, we didn't know the cooking classes existed either.
That's why we're here to give you a scoop on all of the cool things you can do at their cooking school, including lunch demos, themed classes, private classes, and events. If you are wanting to learn to cook in Pittsburgh, this really is the place to do it at!
Pies Are (Indeed) Perfect at Market District Robinson Township
Now, I consider myself a pretty decent cook, and I especially love to bake. But there is one thing that has always tripped me up when it comes to cooking, and that's pie. I've never been able to get the crust right- it's always either incredibly tough, too crumbly to roll out, or just downright soggy when baked.
That's why we when we saw the "Pies Are Perfect" cooking class, I knew we had to take it.
We weren't sure what to expect in terms of the actual facilities, but when we walked in to the cooking school area we were immediately blown away.
The space, located on the second floor of the store (up the stairs from the bar area), is huge: there is one big seating area in the middle for enjoying your creations, a huge demo station, and several smaller individual cooking stations complete with ovens and stoves at each one.
In other words, there's plenty of room for everyone to move around without feeling cramped at all.
We were offered a few snacks (including sushi and fresh baked croissants) and beverages (including wine or beer), which was a really nice touch that we appreciated.
Once everyone arrived we were given a brief overview of the class and the instructors introduced themselves. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that their instructors are actually highly trained chefs who have traveled and trained all over the world- we realized then that we were going to be in for an excellent class with tons of useful information.
Learning Where We've Gone Wrong with Pies
The first part of the class was a demo where our instructor Donna showed us how to make a double crust apple pie from scratch. I listened and watched intently as she showed us how to make the dough, and I finally felt like this was something I could do and succeed at.
We learned the proper way to measure flour, cut in the butter, add the right amount of water, roll out the dough, and form it in the pie pan. Sometimes being able to actually see someone make something first hand and ask them questions along the way is so much more helpful than just reading a recipe out of a cookbook.
This was definitely one of those situations!
Donna showed us how to make the pie dough by hand, and then showed us a method to make it using a food processor. With this food processor dough she demonstrated how to make a savory galette with a carmelized onion, mushroom, and creme fraiche filling.
It was great to see the two different methods of making dough, and armed with this knowledge we were ready to try our own hands at making pies!
We worked together in small groups to make two types of mini pies: a triple fruit pie and a coconut cream pie. Donna and Janice were available every step of the way to provide feedback and answer questions.
I can honestly say that this was the first time I actually made a pie crust that rolled out like a dream and was exceedingly delicious and flaky! We even learned how to make a lattice crust for the fruit pie – something that has always intimidated me but turned out to be really simple.
While we waited on our mini pies to bake, we enjoyed eating the apple pie and the galette. The crusts were perfectly tender, flaky, and buttery, while the apple pie filling was just the right amount of sweet. The galette was also a dream with its earthy mushrooms and sweet caramelized onions.
We took our mini pies home for later consumption. They all turned out amazingly – the fruit pie was a delicious mix of cherries, blueberries, and peaches while the coconut pie was intensely rich and creamy. I was so proud of our crusts and how beautiful the pies were.
I am so ready to tackle making pies at home now, and it's all thanks to Donna and Janice!
An Assortment of Classes Available
There are so many different kinds of classes offered at the Market District in Robinson cooking school that there's something for everyone.
If you're new to cooking they have an introductory six-part series were you learn all of the basics, there's internationally themed classes, there's demos at lunch time, customized cooking classes designed around what you want to learn to cook, and there's even a competition style cooking class where you compete against other teams to prepare the best dishes with a common set of ingredients- we are totally coming back for this one!
Overall, we were so impressed with the instructors here and how patient and helpful they were with their teaching.
All of our pies turned out wonderfully, and we can't wait to make pies at home now armed with our new knowledge. Best of all, this class was just plain fun!
We'd like to thank the team at Market District Cooking School in Robinson Township for inviting us out for a class. As always, all opinions are our own. For those who are looking to try out their customized cooking classes, mention this review to receive your second class at 1/2 off (or bring a friend to your first one!).

With data scientist and statistician among the fastest growing jobs, organizations in nearly every industry and sector are hunting for the best and brightest.
Citadel, the $26 billion hedge fund, and Citadel Securities, a leading market maker, are no different, but their approach is somewhat unique. The firms are sponsoring 18 data science competitions at universities across the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, with a grand prize of $100K.
Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Statistics — a top-rated and one of the fastest growing programs — will host the Citadel/Citadel Securities Datathon, powered by Correlation One, on March 25 in Baker Hall's Giant Eagle Auditorium (BH A51). Approximately 125 students, with majors ranging from statistics to computer science and economics, have been selected to compete for a cash prize pool of $25K. Top performing teams will travel to New York City in November for "The Data Open" which carries the $100K grand prize, and they will be eligible to interview for careers with Citadel and Citadel Securities.
"We are deeply committed to the field of data science and are excited to connect with talented people across disciplines and levels of education through these competitions," said Justin Pinchback, head of Talent Strategy at Citadel. "Carnegie Mellon has a strong track record of producing top quantitative and technical talent, and we look forward to seeing these students showcase their skills and talents."
CMU's Statistics Department, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, is an epicenter for training the next generation for data scientists. The number of students majoring in statistics as well as interdisciplinary degrees in areas such as economics, machine learning and neuroscience has more than doubled over the past six years. And students are taught by world-class faculty members who not only contribute to the field of statistics but also apply it science, policy and other areas.
The department has hosted similar events through the Tartan Data Science Cup over the past year and a half, but never with such a large award.
"The Tartan Data Science Cups, the Citadel Datathons, the American Statistical Association Datafests and competitions like these gives students valuable real world experience. They apply what they've learned in the classroom about manipulating data and computation, use visualization and statistical modeling techniques to build an analytical argument, and then write about and present their work in teams — all in a condensed period of time," said Rebecca Nugent, associate department head of the Statistics Department, teaching professor of statistics and director of undergraduate studies.
Because of the growing interest in this area on campus, the Carnegie Mellon Data Science Club was recently launched. The club's purpose is to serve as a platform for students to pursue their interests in data science in a setting that is both collaborative and competitive.
Citadel has an ongoing presence on Carnegie Mellon's campus through the Citadel Teaching Commons, an innovative study space and computer lab located in CMU's School of Computer Science. Citadel provided funding for the construction of the Teaching Commons, which was completed in 2015.

Home Film, Music & TV Rebels Review: An Inside Man
Rebels Review: An Inside Man
December 8, 2016, 9:54 PM, GMT
Spoilers ahead if you haven't watched 'An Inside Man.'
This episode gave us a return to Lothal and some familiar faces. Since the crew of the Ghost left the planet, Ryder Azadi had put together a rebel cell of his own. Some of the members of the rebel cell included characters Ezra had saved from Imperial capture in Season 1. Unfortunately one of those characters, Morad Sumar, was not as lucky this time around. Sumar's death was tragic and really highlighted Thrawn's cruelty.
Ever since the episode "The Honorable Ones" I have been hoping for a defection of Kallus to the rebellion. That was way back in February. As more episodes came out, the show began to telegraph that not only had he joined the rebellion, but he may actually be Fulcrum. This episode gave us the confirmation. Even though I was pretty sure it was coming, the reveal was still satisfying. The thing I was not expecting was that Thrawn would be involved in the events that surrounded the reveal. This adds quite a wrinkle because Thrawn is not your typical Imperial. I fear for Kallus, and judging by his quote at the end, I think Kallus knows he is in over his head.
I always love Kanan/Ezra team-up episodes. Ezra has reached a level where he no longer seems like a learner, but a partner. The way Kanan and and Ezra interact now reminds me of Anakin and Obi-Wan in much of The Clone Wars.
This episode really made it apparent that Kanan is not hampered at all by his blindness. The way he was running around corridors and deflecting blaster bolts, you would never know he sustained an injury. I get that he can see with the Force, but I do wish the blindness played more of a factor. It could make things a little more interesting.
Who would have thought that Chopper and Kallus would be such fast friends? I loved their interactions, especially in the elevator where you can almost hear Chopper clearly say, "Trust him! Trust him!"
Even though meeting Ryder in the middle of the city didn't make a lot of sense, it led to a great chase scene with walkers and speeder bikes. The takedown of the AT-DP with Ezra taking out one leg while Kanan simultaneously took out the other was so cool. Ezra and Kanan had another great moment at the end of the episode as they cut through the top of the AT-DP they had commandeered right into the bottom of the AT-AT that was crushing them.
But the standout moment of the episode by far was when Kallus said he needed to make their escape look convincing and Ezra, without warning, Force pushed him through a glass display. The dialogue between Kanan and Ezra that followed was hilarious.
"I must've recruited him. You know, accidentally." – Zeb
"Your strategy is without flaw, Grand Admiral. As always." – Agent Kallus

A long-term population-based clinical and morbidity profile of Angelman syndrome in Western Australia: 1953–2003
Thomson, A.K., Glasson, E.J. and Bittles, A.H. (2006) A long-term population-based clinical and morbidity profile of Angelman syndrome in Western Australia: 1953–2003. Disability & Rehabilitation, 28 (5). pp. 299-305.
Link to Published Version: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09638280500190631
Purpose. To investigate the incidence, clinical presentation and associated comorbidities of Angelman syndrome (AS) in Western Australia, with establishment of an information database for the disorder. Methods. Data were collected from Disability Services Commission files, supplemented by datasets provided by the Western Australian Data Linkage Unit. The analysis was retrospective and quantitative. Results. Thirty-four individuals (two deceased) were identified (19 F, 15 M), with a mean age of 21.6 years; 52.9% had an IQ < 40, with the remainder of IQ 40-69. The incidence was one in 40,000 births and mean age at diagnosis was 5.8 years. The mean age of the 23 home residents was 20.2 years compared to 27.9 years in the nine individuals in sheltered accommodation. In general, the patients exhibited a typical AS clinical presentation. A median of 5.5 (range 0-20) hospital admissions was recorded per person, with epilepsy, gastrointestinal disorders, and dental work all common reasons for admission. Conclusions. The estimated incidence was low compared to other reports, as was the proportion of IQ < 40. AS cases required substantial levels of medical care, especially those who were epileptic. An increase in the future numbers of AS patients needing sheltered accommodation is predicted.

C-media Reports on Netizen Belief that Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo Have Reunited After Scouring for Clues
Posted on May 22, 2020 by ockoala
Hhhhmmmm, on one hand this is so far-fetched and yet on the other hand C-netizens are truly sleuths who have uncovered many a breaking relationship or breakup news by digging under every rock for tiny clues. This week C-news picked by a hot gossip thread among C-netizens that maybe top actor Hyun Bin and top actress Song Hye Kyo, both of whom are single, may have surreptitiously gotten back together. The two dated in 2008-2010 after costarring in World's Within (The World We Live In) but in the decade since have each moved on with Hyun Bin dating and breaking up with Kang Sora and Song Hye Kyo dating, marrying, and then divorcing Song Joong Ki.
C-netizens are basing the reunited and it feels so good theory on four SNS posts – (1) Song Hye Kyo's good friend Park Sol Mi posted a song from WW and wrote "this difficult and tiring love" and Song Hye Kyo pressed like and replied "sister *squinty eyed laughing emojis*", (2) Hyun Bin was somewhere filming a CF and posted pictures which netizens think looks like the same backdrop of a location shot posted by Song Hye Kyo, (3) Song Hye Kyo was spotted wearing a necklace that reads HS which are their initials, and (4) Hyun Bin's long time stylist just started to follow Song Hye Kyo on her SNS.

Hahaha. I wonder where those shippers are now too. Remember they were arguing their heads off as if they know HB and SYJ in person.
Nad on May 22, 2020 at 3:18 PM said:
One of the most ridiculous rumors I've ever heard. SHK's pic was taken last summer, according to her caption and there were no initials on her necklace. Even if there were, it could be her own initials..Hyekyo Song. Some fans have actually managed to find a photo of a Chaumet necklace and it looks very similar to the one she wore.
As for the stylist..she used to work for her many years ago so it's not really a surprise to see them following each other now.
Tbh I can never understand why C-netz are so invested in SHK's love life. I just wish they would just leave her alone.
Asdf on May 22, 2020 at 8:03 PM said:
They're ridiculous if they think SHK is going to walk around with a necklace of their initials like a 5th grader.
Exactly! At least if you want to spread rumors about them getting back together, make it believable.
Eden on May 22, 2020 at 8:17 PM said:
very true, maybe they want HB & SHK to do a movie again, so making a stir to get attention
Well, idk anything about that. But it's time for HB and SYJ shippers to leave SHK alone. She didn't do anything yet she's the one taking all the blame. It's unfair.
May on May 22, 2020 at 8:21 PM said:
Exactly it is so ridiculous.That photo of the scenery was taken last summer. And HB's commercial is pretty recent. C-netz always want to hook up SHK with anyone. Both of them dated other people after their break up and seemed to have moved on .Now people will claim HB was the reason of their divorce after PBG denied the rumours. They always need to find a scapegoat . People need to understand that they are human first and they can have the same life as anyone with dating, marriage and divorce. Why is it so hard to understand.In the end it is their life.She is popular,successful and doesn't require any man to make her happy.
And those who are unnecessarily dragging SYJ and leaving homophobic comments,please stop fanning those rumours.
Lunafreya on May 23, 2020 at 8:12 PM said:
Last time C-netizen was right when SHK and SJK eventually got divorced/slip but this time I feel like they should mind their business. They making SHK feel like she's a toxic person jumping around from actors to actors like please. I mean it was confirmed she dated Hyun Bin before but that was way back then and its so old but like just leave her alone.
very true, maybe they want HB & SHK to do a kdrama again, so creatin a stir to get attention
fanie aragon radislao on May 22, 2020 at 9:17 PM said:
it's alright to link SHK and HB together, since they're both single, good people and nice looking. They deserved to be happy and maybe this they learn their past shortcomings.After, love is lovelier the second time around. Philippines
Leilani Agudera on May 23, 2020 at 3:57 AM said:
If this is true….so frustrating??…since i've watched CLOY i followed them both(hyun bin and yejin)…and i wish they will end up in the future.past is past!

Haeki on May 22, 2020 at 4:11 PM said:
Nah, I doubt it tho. It wont be easy to SHK to start another relationship too soon, especially after the divorcee, the marriage with SJK was short too, I'd be traumatic if I were her. I just hope SHK to be happy, I believe she doesnt really need a man to achieve that.
thylane on May 22, 2020 at 4:50 PM said:
Her relationship with HB is the longest after all. And their break up is due to high media attention and busy work schedules. So, the feelings still remain for them.
How do you know that they are still have feeling to each other? Lol. This is such a delusional idea. After they broke up they already move on. And SHK married to SJK, so there is no way she got married if she still had feeling to Hyunbin. Hyun bin also dated Kang Sora and then got caught with SYJ.
Joane on May 23, 2020 at 3:18 AM said:
what a delusion to think that after their breakup, which happened a decade ago?) Song Hye Kyo and Hyun remain in love with one another? lmao.
Chapaguri on May 23, 2020 at 7:44 AM said:
Yeah so delusional welll if he wants to go back w shk he would have done it after he got back from army.. not now.. so wad after 10 yeard he rekindles his feelings, doesnt make sense
Shk is someone who doesn't need any financials support from any man but she always needed that emotional support from a man because she never had a father figure ehich really played a part. She dated got hurt. Married got hurt but i think she loves to fall in love. She is fragile when it comes to love matters and very unlucky.
You got it right. SHK loves to fall in love which reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor who also had a number failed relationships but still never gave up until the last years of her life.
I never doubt C fans. They have huge money to get these sources. I mean same fans buys millions ofl dollars merchandise etc. I wont be surprised if they have their sources to get this info.. both shk and hb r known among c fans. Anyways i want them to work in drama plss make it happen
C-netz can be wrong too. They were wrong about SHK and SJK reconciling. They also said SJK demolished his house because he didn't wanna be reminded of her when the truth is she'd never spent a day there.
Aussie on May 22, 2020 at 4:40 PM said:
Agreed . SHK doesn't need a man to make her life complete. Chinese netizens like to ship stars together to make sound. I'll take it with a smile.
Aquarius on May 22, 2020 at 4:52 PM said:
Perhaps media-play by their agencies since the same thing happened before CLOY was confirmed. It started in Jan 2019 when SYJ and HB were spotted supermarket shopping in LA. The dating fever reached its peak throughout the screening of CLOY with hands under the table rumour during an on-set interview. Shippers went to town with wedding bells. This news will surely squashed the Binjin shippers. Lol.
Binjin shippers r going to shame shk big time after this. If it cones out to be true. I never bought it bcoz son ye jin always had lesbian rumors aeound her so it was all pr. But shk n hb jad real thing and i doubt she will ever work with his ex lol
Kimchi Ajumma on May 22, 2020 at 5:03 PM said:
@ady, yes, I agree with you. SYJ always has lesbian rumours surrounding her since 2013 so I don't buy it too. Maybe there is some connection between SHK and HB in some ways, I believe it will be strictly professional. SHK need not work with HB, she's rich and famous enough to work with anyone. Does not need HB to share the screen with her.
@kimchi maam i agree with you. The thing is i doubt shk likes to work with her exes. Its not like she has shortage of money or anyhing considering she is one of richest actresses from korea ever.but i wont mind if they work together. Lets c . I wish them all d best. Both deserve to be happy
valentine on May 22, 2020 at 9:22 PM said:
BinJin shippers don't care about SHK lol. Son Ye Jin is not a lesbian get real. yah, Han Ye Seul and Son Ye Jin fought over SNSD Yuri hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. If SHK & HB get back together it's noone's business but their own.
Son Ye Jin doesn't need freaking pr. Rumour spreading gossip mongers are the absolute worst.
Nad on May 23, 2020 at 11:05 AM said:
@valentine Actually, a lot of BinJin shippers do care about SHK. 🙂
Maybe HB and SHK are offered lead roles in a big drama possibly to be shot in the later half of this year or early next year. HB is very savvy and strategic about his career and projects. Since CLOY is a huge hit internationally, I would not be surprised if huge offers are pouring in from Netflix or Studio Dragon to reunite him with A-list actresses from his past like SHK or even possibly HJW since this year is the 10 year anniversary of Secret Garden. Riding on the acting acclaim of MOA and commercial success of CLOY seems like a no brainer. His movies normally do not do well so it's back to dramas for HB to capitalise on his ongoing popularity.
Huh?! Most of HB's movies were positively received in the box office. Check the facts first to avoid spreading fakery and lies.
@myrrana, I am just an old lady maybe I missed some box office news or misheard from my younger relatives. If you can supply me the box office records for his movies, that would be much appreciated. My grand nephews and nieces might have given me inaccurate information. You know how young people are these days. They are not into Ahjussi HB so may say his movies don't do well, lol.
Maam, it is all over his wiki page. HB's movies are almost box office draws.
@myranna, thank you. I have my granny glasses on now. The last movie Rampant didn't so well compared to his other ones. The Wikipedia page said box office bomb, lol, who wrote that phrase? Grossing 11.8 million against budget of 15 million. Hope HB next movie will do well. I am fond of him.
myrrana on May 22, 2020 at 10:17 PM said:
That's why Miss Granny I said most and almost not all of his movies are blockbusters. I guess aside from eyes, you should also have your reading comprehension skills check. Anyways, I am done with you! Bye, Felicia!
Cathy on May 23, 2020 at 4:07 AM said:
HB the Rampant movie maybe didnt do so well domestically (SK) because as you said it only has a gross of 11M something compared to thier 15M expenses..
But the movie was being sold to 19 countries therefore they have a total of 56M gross over all..
Ezra on May 22, 2020 at 8:47 PM said:
I'm not surprised if it's a mediaplay esp coming from HB lol. SYJ/HB were a mediaplay thing straight from the beginning. I think it was already planned right from the start when they filmed negotiation. There isn't any evidence for them dating and a lot of the things they do are very posed. They act very differently in front of the cam vs off it. They probably didn't expect the backlash to be so strong towards the end, which probably factored into Vast's constant denials.
The funny thing is that even some of their shippers acknowledge that there isn't anything going on. Only the most pathetic and delusional ppl are sitting around waiting for their wedding bells.
SYJ has always had lesbian rumours. Strong ones at that. Forums in the early 2000s had evidence of her and other ladies, one of them was a pretty famous actress back in her day. She also hangs ard with ladies who seem to be quite similar.
Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong about being gay. What is with the homophobic comments below?
valentine on May 22, 2020 at 10:28 PM said:
Only the most pathetic and delusional people think HB/SYJ needs to resort to mediaplay lmao. There is nothing wrong with being gay except for people "outing" people as gay when they are not and spreading false rumours. SYJ has not "always had lesbian rumours" just some fans who want her desperately to be one. and have you seen HB and SYJ off camera to see how they are? Newsflash, everything is on camera. Song Hye Kyo and Hyun Bin could be back together but the "evidence" is laughable at best. There's tons more proof that Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are together.
Galbitang on May 23, 2020 at 5:15 PM said:
Have u seen the grocery pic in La? Tats definitely off camera.. celebrities who get caught grocery shopping halfway across the world, what does it means? Not normal for korean celebrities..
Well the reason why peopl said that is because she nv had a scandal n nv dated.. so what if she hangs out w only girls.. isnt that preference?

Izabella on May 25, 2020 at 10:41 AM said:
BinJin shippers will have the same fate as SeGa shippers if they keep their "bitch-mometer" going.
Hyun Bin will never find it in his career's favor to to hookup with any lady actress (Ha Ji Won then, Son Ye Jin now) being shipped with him if it means ending up disappointing a solid fanbase of another popular actress (Song hye Kyo) whom he should have defended, either because she was the long-time girlfriend then or for old time's sake now.
Too bad though that SHK has always been the collateral damage in Hyun Bin's popularity everytime: in 2010, as the harassed and bullied legitimate girlfriend and in 2020, as the ex-girlfriend who will always be part of his story (history) to the chagrin of the CLOY fans. It is no wonder I think that she settled down with an actor with whom her union will be celebrated and prayed for by everyone rather than trampled.
I am a fan of the work of all the names mentioned here but frankly speaking: until such time Hyun Bin can live up to his swoon-worthy image and bravely stand by her woman (either HJW, SYJ or SHK), I will never think of him as deserving of any of these fine women.

Me too. . .i'm so fond of them coz they look good together and i can feel that they really like each other. . .can't wait for them to reunite.
Oh my god …The proofs are just hilarious ??.. I don't care who dates whom but atleast they should have some credibility to their sources.And I can't believe koala spreading fake news here.Why drag SHK .Dont believe why people always tend to link up SHK with someone.Being single can also be the trend.And I believe she is much happier in her life now.Cnetz also said they saw them in China.And it was a time when corona virus was at its full swing with travel restrictions around the world, especially in China..And Hyun bin was working on his movie in SK.It is not like they were caught shopping together or something in a foreign country as happened with the other pair. Atleast that was something to be curious about and I remember their pics were flooded in the entire k-media, with even some discussion about it in entertainment shows. But their agencies denied many times and a full stop was put on everything.
And those who are talking about SYJ being a lesbian, please be respectful. No need to drag other person down.It was just a rumour which was created as she said she won't mind playing such types of roles in movies. We all know how versatile she is. So every actress who doesn't have a confirmed public relationship doesn't mean she is a lesbian.
Ady you said Koala used to spread homophobic comments against LMH.But you are doing the same dear.Without any proof you are calling her a lesbian.She may not have dating scandal but how can you say that she is a lesbian and fanning the rumours further. Do you know the source of those rumours??.She once said that she wouldn't mind playing such types of characters in future in movies.
adyjunjihyun on May 23, 2020 at 6:45 AM said:
When did i use lesbian to shame her? I m her can but she has strong rumora even acc to her fanclubs with thousands of fans. They say it all the time 8t is ur oroblem if u see lesbian as an insult. Koalas used gay as an insult back then. Different thing
May on May 23, 2020 at 12:17 PM said:
I won't mind it if she is lesbian but outing her as gay without proper proof is kind of childish.After all in the end these were only rumours spread by some delusional people.
Indeed, HB is very savvy, shred and strategic when it comes to his acting projects, which he also treats as a business, even going as far as to mediaplay "fake relationships"/news to get attention on him/his projects lol. And I say this as a long-time fan. Since cloy has ended I'm sitting here kinda wondering when will his next mediaplay partner/news story be lol.
His dramas have always fared better than his movies – that's a fact. Wikipage is hardly a reliable source. Negotiation, swindlers and rampant were below average and panned by critics. Only Confidential Assignment did really well. Dramas are where all the popularity, cfs, fans and money are, so I think he will keep appearing in them.
I highly doubt they will be reuniting for a project though, k-stars never work with exes on projects, let alone date again, ever.
That said, I don't even know why people trust C-netz? They are mostly 99% wrong than right. Just cause they got the SJK/SHK relationship timeline right, doesn't make them a reliable source. Not remotely. They've written so much of crap about LMH, PMY, Suzy, PBG, SJK etc – all based off stupid "evidence". They even write crap about their own stars!
I mean as an entertainment blogger who owns their own site, it's up to Koala to write what she wants. But sometimes it would be nice to see some form of journalistic integrity in our blogs, instead of seeing fake/ridiculous rumours being propagated.
Loveholic on May 23, 2020 at 12:01 AM said:
Spot on. I used to be a died heart fan of Hyun Bin and support him on everything. Not anymore after The Negotiations and CLOY. He's seem to be an attention seeker so dropped him as one of my favorite Korean actor.
it's true what they say: die "heart" fans are worse than antis. Hyun Bin is the least attention seeking actor out there: not his fault he draws attention whatever he does. I feel bad for SHK, she can't even comment on her friends insta and follow a stylist without rumours. and my girl Son Ye Jin getting dragged by possessive fans and haters alike. Why do C-netz scouring get reported everywhere as "news". Journalism is truly dead.
@Loveholic – SAME HERE. I actually stopped supporting him so much after CA came out and he felt the need to mediaplay a fake thing with KSR to prop his movie/himself and his new company up. Shrewd businessman sure, but not an actor i respect anymore. Seems attention seeking/insecure deep down and I think there are other motives there. I never really believed his rlshp with shk either.
Also my previous comment got swallowed:
HB's stylist has been in the industry for a LONG TIME. She's also stylist to Shin MinAh, Gong HyoJin and God knows who else. She was SHK's stylist before and is friends with SHk's manager. All of them (minus shk) were at her wedding. HB was sitting beside SHK's manager during the solemnisation although there wasn't any visible interaction. Later at the dinner, he sat away from all of them. The stylist following SHK has got nothing to do with SHK dating HB. What a reach of logic. By that logic, does it mean HB are also dating SMA and GHJ too lol
I'm not remotely a fan of SHK but I highly doubt she is interested in getting back into a relationship with someone who is not only an "ex-boyfriend" but a high profile celebrity at that, with some of the most delusional fans in his fanbase. She seems to be enjoying her life and her friends, which is all really one needs at the end of the day. Not all women from broken families need a man to support them and lead wonderful lives, and sometimes it takes a few broken relationships and a few decades of life experience to realise that. Also – kcelebs never date again, let alone work with their exes.
People need to leave her alone.
Loveholic on May 24, 2020 at 3:20 PM said:
Valentine go I don't know if a long time fan who used to support him is worse or an anti-fan plus shipper is worser. You're a shipper fan so I can't relate to you. If you love Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin so much than continue to ship them. I'm dropping Hyun Bin because I'm no longer a fan of his. For Song Hye Kyo I adore her and don't care about this baseless rumor. To many shallow people around can't bear to see her being successful and enjoy every moment of her life. I have nothing against Son Ye Jin so it also not related to me. From Sega shippers to all the rude and ignorant Binjin shippers right now just need to learn to ship their couple without attacking other actresses. Not just Song Hye Kyo but others that work with him.
Ezra ture I was skeptical about the Kang Sora thing too but was able to let it slide thinking it's his life and no need to bother. I'm a fan and support him but after that, I'm starting to lose my respect for him. He somehow come off as someone who is looking for attention. So my like for him is gone. Will still watch him if the productions is interesting. Song Hye Kyo is just someone who has such bad luck. The best for everyone.

Galbitang on because I don't find them attractive or appealing. To be honest SJK and HB are attractive to people just because of their trying hard to be perfection image in front of the public eyes only. Even LBH look better than both with his nasty and cheap character. I also don't have to explain who's better looking. Song Hye Kyo is gorgeous but definitely had bad taste in guy.
@aurora – totally agree with you here. people are so sold on looks when it comes to celebs.

Even as a die-heart fan of Hyun Bin, this sort of news sound absurd as they are based on China's so-called netizens who do not witnessed or verrified their facts. What sort of journalistic qualifications or knowledge do they have about the reunionnof the couple, other than that instagram and the spot?
Hyun Bin's fans and his Binjin shippers can have him all they want. All these ridiculous rumors are probably to make him more popular after his CLOY drama. Never like him nor find him appealing but his fans are dam ignorant. Why keep bashing Song Hye Kyo when she is too good for him anyway. He look so full of himself and always trying hard to have the best image. Song Hye Kyo doesn't need someone like him. Leave her alone already. It's been a decade since she's link with him.
Jenny on May 23, 2020 at 8:28 AM said:
Better for SHK is stay single forever. Her rabid fans think she is too good for anyone. Her fans are the ones bashing men around her.
As if those men's fans don't do the same. Lol
That's why those men are single too. Just keep dating until the sun goes down. I am not a shipper nor I promote celibacy. Saying someone is too good for another person is a hypocritical thinking.
Lol go talk to his fans first if you want to preach. If this is the other way around, I bet you won't even turn a side eyes. Even some of his fans admit to all the degrading every actress that can't bring him high ratings. If you are as fair as you claim to be. You've probably say something different. This is why there's always fan wars. Don't get me started, when oppa did something wrong, it's acceptable. But if it's the woman then it's nothing but name shaming. Get a grip please.

miriam bell on May 23, 2020 at 5:50 PM said:
Hello I don't care what they say still avid fans of CLOY BINJIN FOREVER CANADA
Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin may have hooked up after The Negotiation since they were spotted in the States buying groceries Jan 2018. Hook ups among co-stars are common in entertainment industry. But whatever they had, it does not look like serious thing. Their FuBu like set up seemed to fizzle by the start of the year. It was also during this time that there were break up rumors in Korea.
About the Song Hye Kyo – Hyun Bin rumors, I decided to do a little investigation. Some posts of Chinese bloggers are weird and outright wrong and laughable but some have a point. SHK used to avoid anything about HB but this time around, she liked the OST which was the one used in all loved up moments of World's Within. She did not attend Park Sol Mi's wedding years ago because at the time, Hyun Bin was already out from the military and for sure he will be at the wedding. She avoided him for years, they were never on one Awards event at the same time. She said she would never befriend an ex but you and I know that there are times we say things when we still have lingering anger or bitterness. The trees being compared, she posted two pics, one was captioned Last Summer and the second one, the one compared to HB's CF location, has no caption. And what's with Park Sol Mi's IG story the other night of trees with lovebirds emoji?! I wonder if it's related to the rumors.
We can never tell for sure, because at the time, there was a camping by the squad in the mountain to celebrate her stylist's birthday.
About SHK following HB's stylist, she used to avoid following her even if the stylist used to be from her squad a decade ago, maybe due to the fact that she is HB's stylist and her feed is full of his pics.
My conclusion, most probably, SHK and HB are now on talking terms. I don't think they reconciled. But we never really can tell for sure what's going on in their personal lives. So fans, shippers, antis, or whatever, let's just enjoy the dramas and not meddle in their personal lives.
Eh? The most ridiculous thing abt this whole rumour is the linking of completed unrelated evidence and jumping into the most ridiculous conclusions.
– SHK's summer photos and hb's cf photos arent even in the same place omg
– the stylist is a stylist for many stars besides shk and hb, count in shin min ah, gong hyojin and quite a few others. shk's manager is still in touch with the stylist. there is nothing wrong with following a stylist that she is most likely still friends with. k-ent has stars sharing stylists, coordis all the time, and sometimes you end up sharing one with an ex. Doesn't mean a single thing.
don't you think that if they were really reconciling, we wouldn't even know about it? why would people think a grown 40 year old women will post "hints" on social media to let the whole world come to this ridiculous conclusion? let shk live.
highly doubt someone as traditional and conservative as Hb – who still needs to ask his parents if he can date/marry someone OH MY GOD – will wanna go back to an ex who has been married before.
the constant denials from vast at the beginning of the year was mostly due to the backlash from netizens. ppl were just sick and tired of their constant mediaplaying – for what 2 yrs? and starting to see through it. hence the backpedalling. even their own shippers didnt believe anything was gg on, only the most delusional diehard ones do.

@ezra i totally agree w your comment abt conservative hb marrying an ex who has been married before.. bt in twitter i read all the shk fans felt insulted by that comment..
I don't know SHK personally but since she's very modern and independent, I can't see how she's gonna fit in with a traditional and conservative family. But that's just my opinion.
Esra on June 23, 2020 at 2:07 AM said:
I read your comments and I agree with you. But what's a bit strange to me is why she follows the stylist just now if they know each other for years. Ok I agree that it's normal that the stylist and SHK are following each other, but why n o w ? This timing + the OST of WW that was posted on IG by SHK's friend, is weird (and I still don't understand why she has done that, it's not logic to me. Especially because SHK and HB were avoiding each other these past years since they never both attended events/weddings, so why would SHK's friend kind of throw her under the bus like that?)
Ezra on June 24, 2020 at 8:33 AM said:
@Esra lol korean celeb couples – real or pr/fake – always avoid each other at events/award shows/weddings. Have you seen say, lmh/suzy, lmh/pmy or whoever else attend the same personal and public functions ever since breaking up? No.
Also there's no conspiracy theory here. You literally have no idea what went down in private between these ladies. Eg, Park solmi could have really liked the ost and sth in her day reminded her of it. And she posted it.. so what about it lol. She didnt throw SHK under the bus – how does that even make sense? whut?? SHK could have met up with the stylist (whose feed isnt full of hb's pics like someone above said, she posts way more about shin mina actually) in private and decided to follow her. Again so what about that? Why does everything they do have to be linked back to HB? like what even.
Making links with unrelated "proof" that can't even count for evidence just makes fans look absolutely ridiculous.
Also all that ridiculousness aside, it makes no sense for a recently divorced lady who seems to be enjoying her life, to jump back into a relshp with an ex from 10 yrs ago. An ex who is so high profile with an incredibly delusional fanbase. I'm sure she already has her hands full with sjk fans attacking her. And it ESPECIALLY makes no sense for an actor who is so hung up on his image and is so conservative in outlook to "go back" to an ex who doesnt have a great image in sk for a few years already, and is a divorcee. He's never ever gonna risk his career and his image that he has so carefully and strategically built up to do that. It's just not gonna happen. Put the so called "evidence" in the context of this reality and it falls apart.
@leafyleaf: Ive seen that too. the ppl that seem to feel most insulted are the ppl that seem to think that society "should" accept divorcees and they deserve a right to remarry and to be loved again. Completely 100% agree with them. Thing is, we arent talking about just any society. This is Korean society. And Hb comes from a generation of that were born into pretty traditional values. And his family, specifically, is a very conservative one. So whilst the why-cant-he-date-a-divorcee angle makes complete sense IDEALLY, it isnt representative of the context we are discussing.
@nad totally! I think she's very independent too & tough. and I can't see her bowing down to and trying to change her personality to marry into a conservative fam or date a guy from such a fam.
These are the two personal and more impt contexts that shk-hb delusional shippers refuse to acknowledge.

BinJin shippers hit an all time low behavior and high in immaturity when they looked down Song Hye Kyo for being divorced. Ever wondered why there are millions of men who married single mothers? Because we are in modern times when men do not care about the past, relationships break up for reasons, grow up and get a life BinJin shippers. In HB and SHK's case, he was even in her past, her relationship with him was longer than with Song Joong Ki. I personally don't prefer SHK going back to her exes but I respect her since I also don't know them all personally to judge.

I love Hyun bin and YEjin and they are very good together and has great chemistry.Im seeing that hyunbin can be in his own self with Yejin beside him and yejin too with hyunbin?Anyway, whatever it is, I will always support Son YeJin. She is very beautiful and deserve a great man. Hope she will meet her True Love soon and will get married❤
Mae on July 28, 2020 at 6:58 PM said:
Yes I truly agree that both HB and YJ can be themselves with each other. Look at how he smiles and looks at her all the time, proves that he is really at ease being in her cheerful company. Only YJ has this apt of making HY so easygoing and happy ! I fidn that only YJ is the only actress who is so cheerful all the time and her smiles are so genuine.Both of them really look so good together. Hope they end up in real life too.
Jilted Lavender on May 24, 2020 at 9:28 PM said:
The Chinese are really hung up SHK's love life. First, they speculated that SHK are getting back together and when that didn't pan out, they dragged HB into the picture. I guess this shows SHK's reach in China. But I hope they leave her personal life alone.

West coast emergency responders face Texas' Disaster City
Members of the San Francisco Fire Department and other California emergency responders will conduct a full-scale operational readiness exercise (ORE) at the Texas Engineering Extension Service's internationally recognized Disaster City Sept. 18-20.
While teams from around the world train and exercise at Disaster City annually, this exercise marks the first time an out-of-state urban search and rescue (US&R) team has held an entire ORE at Disaster City. The responders will spend three days working a mock disaster just as they would an actual incident. The disaster scenario will include US&R skill implementation such as initiating and maintaining an incident command post, hazardous material response and decontamination, lifting and moving of concrete, building shoring, and victim rescue.
Although exact details of the exercise are kept strictly confidential from the responders, the ORE is expected to replicate either a full-scale weapons of mass destruction attack or a severe natural disaster, such as an earthquake. The exercise will be similar to the ones conducted by Texas Task force 1 at Disaster city each spring.
Disaster City's 57 acres provides the most realistic landscape for US&R training in the world. The city includes everything from theaters and strip malls to multi-story building collapses and derailed passenger trains. Volunteer "victims" will assist with the exercise by being placed in rubble pockets and areas that require search and rescue.
"As far as we know, TEEX and Disaster City offer the best and most state-of-the-art training facilities offered today," said Dave Franklin, operational manager for the San Francisco team. "There is no other site that can offer what TEEX has, and we want to take full advantage of this for our training."
The city and county of San Francisco under the leadership of Mayor Gavin Newsom, Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White and OES Director Annemarie Conroy are fully committed to ensuring that the fire department is best prepared with equipment and training to deal with all types of incidents, Franklin said.
TEEX annually trains more than 45,000 emergency responders from throughout the world at Disaster City and the adjacent Brayton Fire Training Field. TEEX also serves as the sponsoring agency of Texas Task Force 1, one of 28 US&R teams in the Federal Emergency Response System.
"Hosting the San Francisco Fire Department and other California emergency responders at TEEX is a tribute to Disaster City and the importance TEEX and the state of Texas has placed on preparing urban search and rescue teams for operational readiness exercises," said Jim Yeager, TEEX program manager. "These full-scale exercises provide the foundation of training for all other US&R exercises. It's where the teams see exactly what does and does not work. There is no better place for them to do this than Disaster City."
TEEX, a member of The Texas A&M University System, offers hands-on, customized training, technical assistance and emergency response services impacting Texas and beyond. Agency programs include fire services, homeland security, public safety and security, public works, safety and health, search and rescue, and economic solutions.


Infrastructure assets are typically capital intensive investments with long lifetimes - they include both single megaprojects, or resource allocation across multiple options for smaller projects. Megaprojects also have public and private stakeholders and take years to develop and build adding to their complexity/uncertainty. These investment decisions are thus intrinsically made under great uncertainty over the future planning horizon.
Research communities which must be engaged to achieve this, and at a high level the methodologies which might have applied to the challenges elicited from the practitioner community.
A key activity of this Network will be to draw on knowledge and expertise beyond the core project team. This will be achieved through literature review; in-depth discussions with key individuals; an online survey; and two scoping workshops (the first emphasising innovation and capability needs, the second how the research community can help meet these needs).
The topic of this Network may be seen as a cross-cutting integrative activity across the DBB Framework, showing how the different DBB components may be brought together in making important planning decisions.


Welcome!" two young women in shorts and Hawaiian shirts chime over the clatter of pinballs and J-Pop at the Million pachinko parlor in the Tokyo residential area of Suginami.
slot-machine hybrid that has skirted a nationwide gambling ban to become an industry that takes in bets of 19 trillion yen (USD187 billion), bigger than the entire economy of New Zealand.
Now, pachinko wants casinos, driven by attendance that has sunk more than 60 percent since the mid-1990s and an uncertain legal status that has prevented them from listing in Japan.
"Pachinko companies are feeling a sense of crisis that they will go into decline unless they do something," Daigo Fukunaga, a senior analyst at Advanced Research Japan, said in an interview. Casinos would be "a big new market" to pachinko companies, he said.
With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics promising to attract millions of foreign tourists, Japanese lawmakers in December submitted a bill to legalize casinos in the world's third-largest economy. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said last month that his ruling party would seek to pass the bill in the fall. If approved, the Japanese casino industry could be worth an estimated $40 billion a year as early as 2025, according to brokerage CLSA Ltd., making it Asia's second-biggest after Macau.
While Pachinko still attracts players – about 10 million – parlor operators and pachinko-machine makers, such as Dynam Japan Holdings Co. and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., are forced to embrace a change that threatens their long dominance of Japan's gaming market. The industry is seeking something to give it more legitimacy at home and a greater opportunity for expansion overseas.
Big global casino companies, such as MGM Resorts International and Wynn Resorts Ltd., are courting local partners to help them break into the market. Pachinko companies argue their deep roots in the Japanese gaming industry make them ideal collaborators.
The potential benefits are most obvious for pachinko machine makers like Sega Sammy. Best known outside Japan for its discontinued video game consoles, the company attributes almost half of its revenue to pachinko machines. In May, the company said it would begin making electronic table games for the Macau and Singapore markets as well.
Konami Corp., whose products include pachinko machines and video games, such as the hit Metal Gear series, already makes slot machines and other gambling equipment for Las Vegas Sands Corp. and MGM in Las Vegas and other overseas markets. If approached, the company may tie up with both casino companies, as well as its another client Caesars Entertainment Corp.
Satoshi Sakamoto, the chief executive officer of Konami's gaming unit, said in an interview on May 28 that Japanese casinos "could be a turning point" for the company.
Pachinko parlor operators, such as Dynam, Maruhan Corp. and P Ark Holdings, will also benefit from a casino boom. Dynam, Japan's second-largest pachinko operator, may sell additional shares to fund its entry into the casino market, Chairman Yoji Sato said in a March interview. Maruhan, Japan's biggest pachinko operator, is also interested in running casinos, according to people familiar with the company's plans. Such moves may help pachinko operators overcome legal concerns that have blocked them from securing listings on Japanese stock exchanges.
There are 11,000 pachinko parlors across the country. Players often sit for hours, plunking down up to 4 yen for each metal ball. The balls beget more balls, which beget prizes like a Hello Kitty bread maker or a Nikon Corp. Coolpix digital camera. Players can also choose to take tokens instead which they can take to a shop next door to exchange for money, avoiding laws that bar cash payments.
Japanese law prohibits gambling except for the government- run options such as horse and boat racing. Pachinko operates in a legal gray area, since operators rely on third-party shops to exchange prizes for cash. The National Police Agency, which oversees the pachinko industry, has described the system as "not immediately illegal" without endorsing it.
The legal ambiguity is why Tokyo-based P Ark's 2005 application to list on the Jasdaq was rejected and why Dynam went to Hong Kong in 2012 for the first-ever public offering by a pachinko operator. "If casinos are legal, saying 'no' to pachinko doesn't make sense," said Fukunaga of Advanced Research Japan.
The game's reputation has also been hit by concerns the game feeds gambling addictions which were exacerbated by machines that generated high payouts. At least seven children have died since 2006 after their parents left them unattended in hot cars to play pachinko, Yoshiyuki Tsuji, the head of community safety for Japan's National Police Agency, told lawmakers during a June 18 discussion on the casino bill.
The industry voluntarily removed machines that gave high payouts in 1996, while regulators tightened rules to curb jackpots in some of machines in 2004. Without big payouts, pachinko offers few thrills a smartphone can't match.
In February, a group of lawmakers led by former Justice Minister Okiharu Yasuoka proposed a legislation to supplement a scheduled cut in the corporate tax with a 1 percent tax on pachinko winnings. This would generate 200 billion yen of tax revenue and pachinko parlors want legitimacy in return. Two of the industry's five major associations so far support the move, Nakajima said.

You'll find that our mature gardens are bursting with greenery and some trees are hundreds of years old. Alongside fruits, vegetables and spices you'll find beautiful flowers, butterflies and an array of unique critters. Critters don't just exist underwater in Lembeh, there are some spectacular species of critters in our gardens too.
Extensive gardens and forestry, such as those found around the resort, do not happen all by themselves – they need a helping hand. Our Head Gardener, Alfius Makaunde, has been with us for 18 years. When Alfius started work in our gardens he quickly fell in love with the diversity, maturity and unique flowers that grow around the resort. Alfius is from one of our local villages, Pintu Kota Besar. Here is his story…….
Alfius started at Lembeh Resort in the year 2000 as our Head Gardener, he has been with us from the very beginning. Alfius has three children who are aged 40, 37 and 25, and he has 4 grandchildren – all of whom live in his home village of Pintu Kota Besar.
The extensive gardens at Lembeh Resort are carefully managed by Alfius, who now oversees 6 other gardeners. Alfius is currently engaged in developing many species within the gardens to create even more variety.
Alfius's passion for plants and the growing of herbs and spices is long established. His current projects include transplanting flowers found in the Minahasan Highlands, where the Tomohon Annual Flower Festival is held, to here in Lembeh.
Alfius says that, "Different flowers and trees need different climates. It's interesting to see what more beautiful flowers we can bring to the Lembeh. All species in Lembeh Resort are native to the region and that's what makes the gardens here so unique. Adding more native species is a passion of mine. A garden is never finished".
One of the highlights of Alfius's job is when guests comment on the gardens – it gives him a great sense of pride. One of the comments he regularly receives from guests is about the Pohon Beringim tree which produces two colored of leaves (pictured above).
Alfius also mentions that another special find for guests is the "Kumbang emas", this is a unique critter which can only live on a certain plant type which Alfius carefully maintains. This beautiful insect (which translates as "the gold beetle"), lives on the underside of the leaves on it's host shrub.
As well as the gold beetle, Alfius finds a plethora of other critters around our gardens including vibrant colored caterpillars, lizards, birds, butterflies, praying mantis and tarsier monkeys.
When asked about his plans for the future of the gardens in Lembeh Resort, Alfius says he wants to maintain their natural beauty and plant more bougainvillea (pictured below) so guests will see even more color upon their arrival. Alfius does not have a garden at his home; he says that the resort gardens are like his own and he hopes to continue to make Lembeh Resort have the best gardens in Lembeh.
If you'd like to learn more about the tropical fauna we have here at Lembeh Resort, take a walk around the gardens – you may even meet Alfius himself. Many of our trees, shrubs and flowers have plaques located at their base so you can identify what you are seeing as you go along.
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful Indonesian dive resort soon.

Large cars losing residual value
Cars with larger capacity engines are worth less on the used car market than smaller, more economical models.
According to car valuation firm Glass's, larger cars are struggling to hold their residual values when compared with more economical models, which also benefit from cheaper car insurance.
Medium-sized models are being hit the worst with their values on the used car market dropping.
Figures show that after one year and 12,000 miles a Vauxhall Vectra 1.8-litre petrol Design five-door (2008 '08-plate) model has a trade value of £7,650, while its 2.2-litre counterpart is worth £6,700.
Jeff Paterson, chief car editor at Glass's, said: "The days of larger engines automatically meaning higher prices are clearly over. Motorists' budgets are tighter than ever, making thirstier models much less desirable than their more efficient, lower-capacity siblings.
"While this is a trend that has been in play for many years, it is now gathering momentum as UK motorists gravitate towards more frugal cars and chase smaller insurance premiums and lower rates of road tax."
The current trend is bad for motorists looking for a cheap small car, but drivers opting for a high-power model will be more likely to find a bargain.
