En este documento se estima la elasticidad de la utilidad de las empresas con respecto a la tasa efectiva marginal de tributación neta, en un contexto de frecuentes reformas tributarias. Esta medición es relevante, dado el amplio margen de maniobra que tienen las firmas para responder ante cambios en los impuestos, y por la importancia del impuesto de renta corporativo sobre la actividad económica y el balance fiscal. El análisis se realiza para las reformas tributarias implementadas en Colombia, durante el periodo 2008-2014, utilizando Mínimos Cuadrados en dos etapas y la Regresión por Cuantiles Edógena con Datos Panel. Los cálculos de las tasas efectivas marginales de tributación muestran que la carga tributaria que recae sobre las empresas es inferior a la tasa estatutaria definida por la ley, debido a las deducciones establecidas en el estatuto tributario. Por su parte, los resultados de las elasticidades señalan que las respuestas de las firmas dependen de la reforma evaluada y de las características de las empresas. **** In this paper, we estimate the elasticity of profits before taxes with respect to the net-off marginal effective tax rate in a context of frequent tax reforms. This measurement is relevant, given the wide margin of maneuver that firms have to respond to changes in taxes, and the importance of corporate income taxes on economic activity and the fiscal balance. The analysis is carried out for the tax reforms implemented in Colombia, during the period 2008-2014, using Least Squares in two stages and Endogenous Quantile Regression for Panel Data. The marginal effective tax rates used in the estimations shows that the corporate tax burden of firms is lower than the statutory tax rate defined by law, due to tax deductions and tax exemptions established by Law. In turn, the results of the elasticities show that the firms' responses depend on the specific tax reform and on the companies' characteristics.

First, I should say that I have no ironclad rules about pricing freelance jobs other than trying to figure out what the client is looking for. In the Freelance Forecast 2010 survey 70% of the clients surveyed preferred either a firm quote or not-to-exceed estimate—and only 6% chose an hourly rate—assuming the same overall cost.
You're setting yourself up with a stronger negotiating position than a take-it-or-leave-it bid, because you're giving the client an option to remove certain elements if they're price sensitive.
For psychological reasons, if you have a high hourly rate, that can sound worse than the equivalent project cost for a freelance job cited as a lump sum. People are scared (and rightfully so) of scope creep, particularly with freelancers, and can mentally deal more easily with specific numbers. That being said, if a client wants a specific, hard number, I will provide that to her. If a client wants me to do three hours' worth of work at Z rate, I will do that for him. Again, the first principle always needs to be determining what is most appealing to the given client…and that's a matter of listening to subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) clues during your conversations.
Thank you for a very interesting post. How would you go about figuring a bid on something you have just vague information on? I proofread and was asked to give a price on reading new website copy, knowing only the subject (which I can't disclose) and how many pages there would be, but not how much copy might be on each page, and not how difficult or not the copy would be to proofread: the copy isn't in hand yet; even the company that asked for the bid hasn't seen anything. But they wanted a price. I assume they're looking elsewhere since I have not heard back from them in response to what I did send, but I want to figure out what I *should* have done! Thanks.
Thanks for commenting, Susan, and a great question — "vague projects" are a common challenge in the freelance world. Keep your eyes on the home page in the next few days, and I'll give a shot at answering!
Great! I'll be looking for it.

Da Capo Second Season – 24
Posted by Omni on December 10, 2005	 December 12, 2005 Da Capo / First Impressions
Home Da Capo Da Capo Second Season – 24
Blood+ – 10
Mushishi – 08
While Sakura dreams of her grandmother, Aisia stands in the forest looking happy that she's succeeded. In the morning, Junichi finds Aisia still gone and goes out to look for her. He instead sees Suginami and Kudou doing research, and they point him and follow him to the shrine where Tamaki is. Suginami notices that something is up when Tamaki and Kudou both start to tug on Junichi. Meanwhile, Kotori's friends, in reference to Junichi and Nemu, tell her that a little sister and a lover are different. Kotori finds something strange about that statement, but her thoughts are interrupted when Nemu passes by on her way to deliver a boxed lunch to Akishima-sensei (at Miharu's request). At the urging of her friends, Kotori heads to the Asakura home, but when she thinks that Nemu is just a little sister, she also wonders about all the times she's felt sad around Junichi. After hearing Sakura wake up, Kotori ends up asking her if Nemu and Junichi are only siblings. Sakura is about to answer that they're lovers, but then she sees a few sakura petals float by. Realizing that people's memories have been turned back, she rushes to the old sakura tree to find it alive again.
Sakura pleads for the tree to go back to sleep, but it just continues to bloom. After Junichi and company arrive onto the scene, Sakura sends everyone off to find Aisia, saying that she underestimated Aisia's power. She explains to Junichi that he and Nemu have returned to being brother and sister after the tree reacted to Aisia's wish, which included giving everyone an equal chance after starting over. Suginami, Kudou, and Kotori find Nemu instead of Aisia, and urge her to go to the old sakura tree where Junichi is waiting. With the magic is wreaking havoc on Junichi's mind and memories, Sakura tells him not to forget his true feelings. A frantic Nemu runs onto the scene, and hugs Junichi. He promises never to separate from her, and the two share a kiss. However, the sakura trees are still in full blossom…
ED2 Sequence
ED2: 「記憶ラブレター」 by CooRie
New ED sequence shows Aisia plus the two girls who weren't in the first ending, Nemu and Sakura. The vibrating string is still there, and Nemu's is incidentally colored red, ie. the red string of fate.
Aisia looks positively evil from her smirk during the first minute of this episode. Her wish has finally come true, and everyone has apparently forgotten about Junichi and Nemu being lovers. Well that is, except for Sakura and the two lovers themselves who, with the power of their love, know their true feelings and actually end up kissing (finally). That sounds corny, but that's basically what happens.
The way this episode ends (a shot of Hatsunejima with sakura trees in full bloom, and then the image and sound of a TV screen being shut off) completely blew my mind the first time I watched the episode. My thought process at that point went something like "Ok, they just gave us something which could almost resemble the end of a series. What now?" And then they do that, which I suspect may indicate that the reset is complete, whatever that may lead to.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this episode, though the art is shoddy at places. Next week is 「ダ・カーポ」 (Da Capo), which could end up meaning any number of things. We'll just have to wait and find out. 🙂
its gonna be jun and nemu to the end the way this is going what a crappy ending that will be
December 10, 2005 at 2:37 pm	16 years ago
and that string just proves it too damn it, this sucks i dont wanna watch no more, and who makes a new ed with 2 episodes left
Weird, isn't it kinda late for a ED change? And I guess Nemu x Junichi is set in stone now.. *sigh* That slim hope is now gone.
Losttek
only thing left is forcing yourself ot acccept this sad excuse for a relationship. they should have at least got jun kisisng kotori at least once throughout the series
What was the big drama?
What the hell are we going to see in the next 2 eps?
A happy jun'ichi/nemu relationship? Just thinking about it makes me sick
What was the point of this season? to make me, a kotorifan, suffer even more?
I haven't watched an episode since Nemu came back into the picture. Thankfully the series is almost over so i can watch it all at once then put it aside like I did the first season. Poor Kotori. 🙁
I wuld have been fine with the first ending the way it was left, but the way they gave us Kotori fans a slight chance of hope… So so damn cruel.
JustinStrife
Hmmm….I still say Kanae ftw! (just kidding, you know that…(s)he belongs to Suginami…)
Kotori, while now having 0% chance of winning, has still been given hope in the hearts of most English-speaking watchers of DCSS. (The reason it's going towards Nemu is only cuz the Jap peeps watching this like Nemu more than Kotori…no joke)
*sigh* Mataku…kore kore…
thenightsshadow
Wow people, give it a rest already. I thought we were all sure there was NEVER going to be Kotori x Junichi ending. If you are a true Kotori fan, you would now start cheering for happy end for Kotori as well instead of declaring that you will stop watching this series. As much of a Kotori fanboy that I am, even I realize that she wouldn't be happy in a fake relationship made thanks to the magic.
But them showing close up of Junichi x Nemu kiss was a big nono. Two scumbags kissing…Sickening! And what's with lots of animes showing kiss scenes lately? Shakugan no Shana, Shuffle!, and now D.C.S.S? What's next? The stupid random character and Elise kissing in Canvas2!?
Rasmiel
season of kissing maybe?
There was always that 1% of hope.
Why are everybody saying that i should hope for a happy ending for kotori?
There is no "happy" ending for kotori, just an ending where she moves on. Just like in season1.
So in effect i have got an rerun of kotori's ending, Yaaah. Me so happy.
So the moral of this season is you can have a relationship with your sister and don't care about what everybody thinks (including their parent, friends etc.). I would love to see jun'ichi call his parents and say "i am going to marry my sister".
And yes i know that nemu isn't his blood relation, but they grew up when they were young. So their first feelings would always have been brother/sister feelings.
well~ nothing strange of a ED change. Perhaps these last 3 episodes proves to be crucial
bj0rN`-
Crucial??? for what? it's over. They will be together forever and ever.
All he needs to do is make a donation at the local sperm bank and everyone can be happy. Well, until he has to start making alimony payments.
Decagon
This isn't the ending I'd like to see, but hey, maybe some random guy will appear and steal Kotori's heart.
PandaHaro
The japanese like the sister-brother thing waaayyyyy too much. It shows up in like almost every harem anime. True, that they always have the sister not blood related, but come on.
EliteF22
More GSD vibes? Aisha is now the main villain? Sakura is the main heroine who opposes the ebil that is Aisha? Everyone else caught in the middle? lol
Next ep = "Da Capo" = "From the beginning"… Looks like even with that kiss Junichi X Nemu might still be no more next ep. Though they'll probably overcome this anyway.
>This isn't the ending I'd like to see, but hey, maybe some random guy will appear and steal Kotori's heart.
The thing with that is that is more of a "WTF" ending. If it was open-ended then it would leave more room for assumptions (of happiness). A 5-minute prince-charming would put off a lot of people.
>The japanese like the sister-brother thing waaayyyyy too much.
There are a few girls who call me "brother". Childhood friends and all that. I like it =)
(It gives me hope~)
It's no surprise I'm a Kotori fanboy but at this point, I actually want Junichi X Nemu. It was becoming pretty obvious that there was just no way in hell Kotori X Junichi would happen w/o some unbelieveable BS. Now that Aisia has basically "reset" everything, I'm honestly rooting for Junichi X Nemu.
There's just no way I can accept Aisia's ways of trying to "fix" everything. Her narrow point of view of "magic will make everyone happy" is total BS. Sakura pretty much nails it a few episodes ago saying it's just not possible for everyone to become happy via magic. There's just no way "everyone can win" without some unrealistic shit that no one will like. It's just as simple as that. This ain't no Futakoi Alternative 😉
Now that Aisia thinks she has "won", it's gonna be fun seeing her "victory" get torn when she realizes she's only causing more problem and pain for everyone. Because as messed up as Junichi and Nemu's relationship is, at least they honestly love each other. To forcefully tear that apart just because Aisia thinks everyone else is lying to themselves (about their feelings for Junichi) is just plain wrong. Aisia came in late in the game but to think she really understands the situation just doesn't cut it with me. In reality, it seems like Aisia is doing this more for her own sake as a way to displace *her* feelings for Junichi than anything else. Any sane person would have understood the fact that Junichi and Nemu love each other no matter what (that deep kiss this ep for example) and no force, even magically, will stop that. By Aisia giving everyone else false hope (in their thinking Junichi and Nemu are siblings and not lovers), she's only creating more heartache for the girls for when Junichi will have to let them down. At least before, everyone accepted the two's relationship and dealt with it as best as they could (however boring that was).
I really can't wait until everyone finds Aisia. I'm hoping there'll be a verbal (or physical) showdown as someone seriously needs to put some sense into the girl. Secretly I'm hoping for Junichi to give her a good slap… that'll probably do the trick 😉
BTW for people complaining about the sudden change in ED, they did the same thing in Da Capo. I don't know why anyone would honestly complain about a new OP/ED, as it can be a way to set the mood for the current or future episodes. Plus you never know what new kick arse songs/animation might be used! I actually prefer the ED used for this episode as it really helps to set the tone as we reach the climax of DCSS.
moyism
(I haven't watched an episode since Nemu came back into the picture. Thankfully the series is almost over so i can watch it all at once then put it aside like I did the first season. Poor Kotori.)
So we are even. HA! Remember me?
Yeah!! moyism xD
You made a good comment 😀
Maybe that way people would quite and complaining about the ending or how there is no more chance for kotori to get together with Junichi. Because its really annoying =.=;
i wanna watch the episode now, i love coorie's sonzai song for DC first season ^^
Mimi-chan
This serie is becoming as illogical as shuffle, first aisia brings jun'ichi/nemu together and now she breaks them up by wishing that they forget that they are lovers. Maybe aisia is sent by jun'ichi parents!
I thought aisia would wish for that every girl would be more honest with her feelings, not this!
Thus why they showed those scenes with all the girls blushing — thus they start to express more care (ie. Tamaki nudging him & Kotori visiting his house).
The only thing that will prevent me from watching till the end is if they do a Yumeria-styled reset next episode.
Yumeria's was ok (felt odd), but for DCSS, it's not appropiate.
What did you hope for then? Kotori get in relationship with Junichi with Nemu still in his mind? Please, if that's the case, I would rather see a remake of Kotori story from the first season.
"And yes i know that nemu isn't his blood relation, but they grew up when they were young. So their first feelings would always have been brother/sister feelings. "
Does that go for childhood friends as well? You can't have a romantic relationship with someone just because you grew up with them? My girlfriend was my childhood friend. Oh no, please don't eat me? What's with west and their brotherly/sisterly feelings morality that's strict as hell?
I expect to see a confession show next. All girls re-confess to Junichi, not knowing he already has a girlfriend.
is this series even worth watching anymore? it's finally been established that kotori has been royally screwed over and that it's junichi x nemu forever, no matter what. what more could really be said at this point? the only thing that could possibly change this ending would have to be something tragic happening to nemu, a.ka. she gets hit by a truck (one can only hope).
I like your comments, moyism. They match some of my thoughts.
I thought it was weird, too, that Aisia is forgetting she helped get Junichi and Nemu get back together. And then she wants to force them apart. She doesn't like the sort of unhappiness of Kotori and the others, but ignores the happiness of Junichi himself (the one Aisia seemed to focus on the most)?
Who's the purple haired chick (don't tell me that's a guy)? Is she the one from D.C.P.C. intro that flashes on briefly?
Anyway, although I like Nemu , and I like a JunichixNemu pairing (really, only because they both care for each other and clearly do love each other, but I also really liked the emotion in the Nemu returns arc), I'm not sure of what to think about where the series is going. Forced apart, to be resolved the next episode… maybe? I mean, they were broken apart on episode 23, they get back together in 24. What's 25 and 26?
I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen, but I wonder if it will get as intense as I think it should. I mean, Aisia is almost turning into an over-the-top villain. Will there be a real fight of some kind, over what she thinks is right? Will there be any resolution with the harem and their feelings? Will the tree become sentient and attempt to take over the world? Will there be a rift in the space-time continuim that will threaten the island? Something's got to happen. Aisia's going to have to get a splash of reality. And hopefully the harem too.

maybe jyunchi will really realize that kotori is very important to her and ect…soo she might still have a chance. but…2 more episodes left…sooo i dun really that the ending will really be with jyunchixkotori. oh…it reminds me something…well the last title of this season is…The Bell of happiness…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..damn….now im really sure it will be nemuxjyunchi T_T. but why that that freaking guys said "im in ur whole dept ect…" pff they r trying to torturing Kotorifan! what a shame! LOL!
and Da Capo is OK! not really good not really cheap. it would be good if it was jyuchixkotori MATAKOU!!
about siblings…well ya even though they r not blood related…i dunno is just wrong man…nemu and jyunchi THe heck i cant explain this. whatever.
hmm i say…..the next episode it will be….aisha and…sakura…maybe they will have a fight.
happy ending with kotori….are u guys bluffing or what? kotori will probably say "im happy, if he is happy to be with nemu"…impossible that kotori will try to go on another guy! ok i shut my mouth now. lol

Well, I just watched the episode, instead of just reading this. (The purple haired chick is just one of Kotori's two sycophants/friends. They hadn't shown up in so long I forgot about them).
Anyway, it was INSANE. INSANE.
First off, the evil grin of Aisia at the very start of the episode. Wow. That was crazy. That should be in the thumbnail summary above, it is so evil.
They start it with her, and then they end it with her, again, very evil, and the weird television click-off type animation. Creepy.
That was an intense episode. I really liked it. For a lot of reasons (Sakura was particularly good). If only I understood Japanese well enough, dang it to get even more out of it.
I can definitely see (as if it wasn't obvious from when Nemu returned) that this series is all about Aisia. And now that she's the supervillain, I'm very curious how she will be fought. Because I was not expecting a supervillain. But that creepy smile. The "TV power off" animation. Man. I'm looking forward to the next episode now more than ever.
I can't help but wonder, though, how it will all resolve. I still hope that harem is forced to resolve their feelings for Junichi. I always liked the idea that DCSS would be a sequel that would force the issue of "the harem" in these types of shows, where the harem is forced to question why they follow the guy they do, when they know he has eyes only for another. Is that really happiness? It's been touched on throughout the series, and Aisia has been the wildcard thrown into a situation she did not understand. After all, she did not experience the events of 2 years ago, as was pointed out in episode 16, where Alice and Miharu explain it to her (at least, as the explanation for the Support Unit existing). So I can imagine the fight will have to do with Aisia being fed up with everyone's attitude's towards Junichi. I could be wrong, though.
you know, I was honestly thinking thoroughout the whole episode that there's nothing like a good old chainsaw that could solve the problem. 1 chainsaw + 20 mins = 0 Magical Sakura Tree 😉
Stupid cast of DCSS trying to work out their problems the *hard* way! hehe

Heh. Da Capo was never meant to be illogical. Call it a mind-shift. When Aisia tries to fulfill a goal, she focuses only on that goal and doesn't do much about most others.
Aww….how sweet!
I don't think so. While I know that's the expected route, I don't think a "starting again" would consist of an immediate transfer. It would take time, which leads me to hope against a Yumeria-styled reset.
That would be one of Kotori's friends.
the only thing that could possibly change this ending would have to be something tragic happening to nemu, a.ka. she gets hit by a truck (one can only hope)
Show Spoiler ▼
Why? Why is it that you think a Nemu ending would be a bad thing? [Shuffle! spoiler]Would it be terrific if Rin ended up with Kaede instead of Asa? [Love Hina spoiler]Would it be a good thing if Keitaro ended up with Shinobu instead of Naru?
The reason why it's like this is because Jun'ichi and Nemu are emotionally attached. Granted, all brothers and sisters are, but season 1 helped them to overcome what was considered taboo and "not right" and fulfill what they thought they wanted.
[Love Hina spoiler]After all Keitaro went through with Naru, going as far as halfway to having sex with her, (vol. 14) did you think that Shinobu and Keitaro should still be a couple? [Mahoraba spoiler]After finding out about Kozue and attempting to cure her by essentially removing her "transformations", do you think Ryuushi would leave to go off with Megumi instead (which would break Shiba's heart, mind you)? [Onegai Twins spoiler]After finding out Miina wasn't related to him, do you think Maiku would take care of Miina but go out with Karen? [Yumeria spoiler]After all the trouble he went to save Mone and connect with Mizuki, do you think Mikuri would stop and go after his "darling" Neneko instead? [Shakugan no Shana spoiler]After connecting with Shana past at least second base, would Yuuji abandon her for Kazumi?
If you think that Nemu and Jun'ichi shouldn't be together, you also take the responses attributed here; because their issue isn't about what's taboo or not, or generated feelings or not. It's about attachment, either symbiotic or parasitic (most likely both) Maybe the parasitic nature of the attachment is what drives you off; I don't see that as a major problem. After all, don't lots of people fall in love for support (and to support the other, but the latter comes later) from the other partner? It's not their fault that they were both too supportant on each other to stray elsewhere…

thenightsshadow….you win. Excellent post….I'll love to see the end of DCSS on Christmas Eve =D
is the new ed song nice??? (remember, i have already given up on this show… so yea hope u guys can share ur thoughts abt the ed song) thanks ^^
cyw1988
nice post thenightshadow, I was thinking along the same lines. its not a matter of NemuxJuunichi being right or wrong, its the underlying principle that they are with the one they care the most for.
also after watching the latest subs and raw, comparing Aishia from ep 16 and ep 24, there is a HUGE difference in character development there.
Adun
But them showing close up of Junichi x Nemu kiss was a big nono. Two scumbags kissing…Sickening!
Ahaha, my exact thoughts when I saw that.
Well, at least they got them out of the way. We may see more of Kotori now. 🙂
Great post thenightshadow. That's been my issue with those pimping KotorixJunichi as well. You may like a certain character better, but which does the male lead like more, and which fits with the journey the male lead has made…
I don't want KotorixJyunichi. I want Kotori's happiness. That's the reason why I'll keep on watching till the very end.
That, and because I'm a DC fan, despite disliking Nemu.
Offtopic Spoiler Thought/Comment for Mahoraba:
"[Mahoraba spoiler]After finding out about Kozue and attempting to cure her by essentially removing her "transformations", do you think Ryuushi would leave to go off with Megumi instead (which would break Shiba's heart, mind you)?"
I really didn't like the difference they made a big difference between the manga and the anime (at the end of anime). >
Wow, the kiss scene got even MORE sickening as I watched the episode. The whole melodrama between Nemu and Junichi was just too melodramatic that I thought I was going to throw up. Yuck. I mean, dammit, I absolutely HATE the part where Junichi screams out for Nemu, and the "I WON'T FORGET YOU!!!111!!!!" part. Even sushi didn't taste so good as I ate while watching the scene X(
I don't think I can take any more of that garbage.
LOL ur funny rasmiel. and why the kiss scene makes u even more sick? LOL. awww my kotori doesnt have a chance anymore T_T
To Ramiel, I think there is a big difference between growing up with a friend and a sister!
My prediction of the rest of the 2 eps is:
Jun'ichi and nemu have completly forgotten that they love each other and will find each other during the 2 eps. The writers will probally screw me over once more, because jun'ichi will probally date kotori and nemu the doctor. Until there real feelings come back and they will end up in each other arms and me barfing on the floor.
im sorry this show sucks even more i mean why did they make a second season if junchi is gona end up with nemu all over again its bs
"and why the kiss scene makes u even more sick?"
I don't hate a kiss scene; I just hate it when scumbags kiss each other.
What difference? I've always thought of my childhood friend as a sister before. We used to spend time together like real siblings. There's no blood connection between us. Doesn't that put us in the same situation as Nemu and Junichi? The only difference between us is that we don't have the same surnames and that we don't live in the same house. Do I deserve to burn in hell now because I fell in love with my unrelated "sister"?
I just realized the last screencap may confuse some people for Hatsunejima going Supernova XD
LOL supernova haha.
"My prediction of the rest of the 2eps is:

The writres will probably screw me over once more, because jun'ichi will probablly date kotori and nemu the doctor. Untiel there real feelings come back and they will end up in each other arms and me barfing on the floor."
lolllllll. ya maybe maybe.
Response to rasmiel:
You said it yourself, the only difference is we don't have the same surname and we don't live in the same house.
nemu and jun'ichi did since they were little. Would that mean that jun'ichi never had brotherly feelings for nemu? If not, than he is even more sicker than i thought.
Omni, let me add my thoughts onto your blog since mine's not public:
So THIS is the episode where Dear your Mind plays. Actually, it makes the episode better that I've heard the song before (and you'll enjoy it more if you're not biased against any one girl and you understand the lyrics) because it makes it seem that everything's going to be ok ("…koko ni, kure tan daioh.", "…hontoo, arigatou.", "…shinji, yukuchi kara wo."and "…koko ni, saita iru you." at the end of the first to the fourth verses respectively), then they go and "unplug their reality" in the middle, suggesting that it's not going to be peachy…makes me wonder what they're going to do. (Would have been better if they went a little more into the girls' feelings during the kiss, rather than just a partial scanning of their blushing faces and a remembrance of "someone". Then the entire song could have played (still cut at the end) and then really stuck in you the "going to be ok" theme before shutting the thing down, effectively saying "wrong!".
I sooo wish the next episode would come out a day early, but then it wouldn't end on Christmas Eve. I say CIRCUS really "planned" this all out (no one anime is planned from the start; a.k.a. all episodes made before showing to the public the first episode) very well, because there is now an equal chance for everyone (sans Moe, I hope) with a little emphasis for Nemu's ending. The ending will have to top this (I already know that Mune ni Chiru Toki no Ha will play either in the next or final episode, as it is labeled an insert song and has yet to show up. {It's a song I don't particularly like until you get to the chorus, then it effectively beats Dear your Mind very well…maybe the titles has something to do with what's going to happen…:)} The song between it in the CD, Parade, by Alice Tsukihiro's seiyuu makes me wonder as well whether that wasn't deliberate, as it's the only song in there besides the Anime inserts that is sung by a character's seiyuu. Of course, that's just pure deliberation, but hey, you can't predict anything for sure will happen when it comes to CIRCUS. Like I said, all girls have an equal chance now that the "shut-off" is now over.) or else it's not going to fulfill what I believe was Da Capo. Da Capo, in a nutshell, "played with the emotions of wishers until they believed they had what the wanted, until they were willing to give it up and live possibly fuller. Tree or no tree, their wishes had overcome the reality of the situations, and they fervently believed (and wished unconsciously) that their wishes were reality. Removing the object of their desires out of their hearts helped them to see that reality wasn't always what they wished; they had picked a road and now they were to follow it, down the pathways of life. It wasn't always comforting, but their delve into their wishful state would only hurt themselves. Eventually, all that would be left is a 'happy' but not joyous soul when they reached the end. Finally, the thing that matters isn't their wishes or their happiness but the strength of the body, mind, and soul when the end is reached. No matter whether the road achieved what they wanted at the end, the fate is the worse when reaching without hardships. If one is willing to let go, then possibly…just maybe, the wishes can happen." That's why I'm a Kotori fan. The series doesn't do it's job if you're a Nemu fan. I'm not joking, it doesn't work what it wanted to achieve by it and its sequel. The major thing to know is that wishes are not always granted, and that reality is a harsh fact of life. But escaping to the one's wishful state isn't going to make the road any less bumpier and may in fact make it worse when you snap out of it into reality. A lesson I've had to learn and re-learn before I turned even 17. Now a college student, I see that my wishful dreaming led to nothing but even more heart-ache later on, and that it wasn't anyone's but my fault. If one would only face reality head-on, maybe, just maybe, those wishes will come true.
i mean the series should have just ended at season 1…season 2 is just showing more of junichi's and nemu's relationship which is uncalled for.. i mean we all watch season 2 for the fact we thought kotori was the main character no??? at least i did…
yah i did it too. i was like YAYYYYYYYY KOTORIII WOUH!! NO MORE NEMU! KOTORI WITH JYUNCHI. and then episode 1 was soo nice i was like addicted. and episode 6 when nemu came back omg…i was soooo down man LOL. they want us to suffer more T_T
do u guys think kotori still have a chance? what is ur opinion omni? i never heard of urs yet lol
"The way this episode ends (a shot of Hatsunejima with sakura trees in full bloom, and then the image and sound of a TV screen being shut off) completely blew my mind the first time I watched the episode. My thought process at that point went something like "Ok, they just gave us something which could almost resemble the end of a series. What now?" And then they do that, which I suspect may indicate that the reset is complete, whatever that may lead to"
ohhh interesting ;P
thenightsshadow, not sure that I'm able to respond to everything you said, but a few main things.
Well, first the easy one: Sakura's vocal song did already play (ep. 17), so all of the image songs on the vocal album are now accounted for. That being said, there are still the songs on dolce 2, coming out in late December. Plus… totally confused by what you meant by Alice's Parade being the only one sung by the seiyuu… ALL of the songs on that CD were sung by the anime seiyuus; that was the whole point…
1. Nemu & Aisia
2. Kotori (insert song)
3. Nanako
4. Mako & Miharu
5. Moe
6. Aisia
7. Tamaki
8. Nemu (insert song)
10. Sakura (insert song)
As for your interpretation of the episode… hehe. Couldn't disagree more. In musical terms, Da Capo is the same song, just taken from the top. Watch the episode more carefully, and specifically pay attention to Kotori's reaction – she's absolutely key to understanding what's really going on and what's coming up next (and this is why she's an important character). Aisia's plan is flawed, and I think Kotori's going to be the one to shut it down herself. Nemu & Junichi is a completely done deal. Don't be mislead by what you think you saw happen in episode 24 – all they did was set the stage for an ending that ties everything together: Kotori's plot, Aisia's plot, Sakura's plot, and Nemu x Junichi. This is in no way an end, and it isn't the great equalizer. I'm completely convinced of that now; Aisia is wrong.
I will agree with you on this, though: D.C.S.S. was masterfully planned. They've left so many hints throughout the show, and everything is connected perfectly. Whether you like the details or not, everything happened for a reason, and little by little everything is coming together perfectly. I've always said that I'd accept any ending so long as it was well-justified, and I've rarely seen a show spend more time justifying an ending than this one did. Well, okay, I have seen it once before: in Da Capo Season One. And, ironically enough, the justification is the one thing that people miss the most in both cases. Oh well…
relentlessflame
You want some news?
Spoiler regarding D.C. White Season and D.C. Summer Vacation.
Here it is. I just recently "played" both White Season and Summer Vacation and it seems that Kotori either is the least or most favored by the games. White Season is a good example. Nemu has 10 segments, Sakura has 8, Miharu has 8 (but is irrelevant as she doesn't get that much closer to Jun'ichi), Moe has 8, Mako has 8. Why does Nemu have 10? Because she stole it from Yoriko/Misaki and Kotori, which both have 6. Even the miscellaneous is 8. Does that mean that Nemu is a lot favored or does that mean that Kotori doesn't need as long to get attached with Jun'ichi?
Yoriko/Misaki scenario:
Yoriko/Misaki fans, prepare for disappointment with its scenario (except for the fact that Yoriko shows up again one last time). Misaki starts to confront Jun'ichi now that they're classmates and starts to hang around him. Back home Yoriko is doing the maid duties again (yeah, she's back for half the scenario). You'll just have to see Misaki in a yukata.
Kotori scenario:
And Kotori fans, you can now squeal this phrase: Mina-chan Kawaii! Yes, that's right, Mina-chan. That would be the little girl calling Jun'ichi papa. Kotori overhears it one time and she almost gets mad and runs away but then the girl calls her mama…:) Yeah, that's right. Oh, and Koyomi-sensei's pregnant. Heh…
More to come later.
Sorry for the double post, but rewatching a subbed episode let me see something about the "red tie of fate"
I'm not going to tell you what I think, just some factual information you might find useful
– Kotori's and Nemu's is red, while the rest of their colors make a bigger red.
– Nemu's waves back and forth like it's under strain and then breaks at about the time she opens her eyes…
– Aisia's wavers the least if measured by waves vs. screentime.
– Sakura's and Miharu's are the same color; yellow.
– Kotori -> Red
– Mako -> Green
– Miharu -> Yellow
– Moe -> Turquoise
– Alice -> Pink
– Nanako -> Light Green
– Tamaki -> Blue
– Aisia -> White
– Red and yellow bind first, then green, blue, and pink bind from the top while the light green, turquoise, and white bind from the bottom.
– Binds become unified looking exactly like a rainbow before becoming one bigger red bind; the bind of fate.
– As the fates are of girls, where are Yoriko's, Misaki's, Izumiko's (the big pink bear "girl"), Kudo's (first name's Kanae), or that night girl? I…forgot her name.
Didn't realize that the fact that Koyomi-sensei was pregnant counted as a spoiler (well or that W.S. and S.V. could count as "news"). After all, they did show her child in episode 2. :p (Keep in mind that, timeline wise, D.C.S.G./S.S. is supposed to take place after Four Seasons, but it's not as if there's a real solid timeline to those side stories – they're not really meant to fit.)
And yeah, it's just an ED. I would suggest not reading too much into those strings. :p
I'm curious, relentlessflame, as to what you saw as the threads throughout the series… I have my own ideas, but I can't quite write them out that well (Aisia, fate, magic, happiness).
But, I am looking forward to where they go next with this thing. Do you really think it's as simple as a "reset"? I guess the next episode preview refers to a reset.. But what kind? They can't take back 2 years, per se, I would think… Not to mention that the Nemu/Junichi relationship is built on their entire lives, not just 2 years. But at the same time, a mind wipe was not working, as episode 24 showed. Does that mean false memories to wipe out the previous 2 years or beyond?
As you said, Da Capo means repeating..
I don't know, with Aisia's evil grins, there's no question, that last episodes have to deal with fighting Aisia in some way… But who will fight her and how remains to be seen…
Heh, now that you mention it, it is sort of tough to explain what the threads in the story are in a succinct way. But, basically, I'd say it's like this. The primary "visible" story is about Aisia's argument, with Kotori as the primary illustration. (You can kinda sorta think of it as a court case.) The argument is that the ending to the first season is flawed, and that there's no way that it could be construed as a happy ending. It's showing a complete dissatisfaction with the status quo and even in D.C.S.S. itself as a story. Kotori is the "case-in-point"; even though she tried to act like she was happy with the way things were (both before and after Nemu's return), she wasn't even convincing herself. The secondary "subtle" story (arguably the primary story, but it depends on your point of view) is the continuing love story between Nemu and Junichi, and resolution of the Nemu-Sakura tension. This is the story that Aisia is fighting/arguing against. Obviously, these two stories are entirely intertwined – they can't exist without each other, and where one goes, the other has invariably followed in kind and in opposition.
So, if those are the two interconnected threads of the story, then there are two choices for the ending: either they can resolve them both, or they can *not* resolve either of them (resulting in a "to be continued"). That being said, and you noticed it too, episode 24 is planting the seeds for resolution. Specifically, as I mentioned above, pay extra close attention to Kotori; Aisia thinks she's "won", but it's crumbling in the implementation (as most her previous magic plans did). So, I think the last two episodes will see the two storylines merge completely. I think Kotori will play a key hand in show Aisia that she's wrong (because Kotori was Aisia's primary illustration), and I think we'll finally see a "happily ever after" for Junichi and Nemu. The key thing to understand about Da Capo, in my mind, is that repeats aren't the same as resets – with a Da Capo, even though it can be painful along the way, it simply makes you stronger in the end knowing all you've gone through.
So, there's no way to know exactly the next two episodes will play out, but if you pay attention to the larger themes, the subtle hints, and the general principles of storytelling, you can get a pretty good sense of what they're trying to say. The real question is whether they manage to convince Aisia (and the audience, for which she serves as a proxy) that the ending is justified. I think they have a pretty good shot, but we'll see.
the next episode we can determine….what it will be the real ending. im excite 😀 but im probably sure they will not do a kotori ending =(
they have upgrade dcII site. uhmm it has a lot of things i dun really i understand because i cannot read japanese. some1 can tell me uhmm..whats going on?

Make West Vancouver the focus of new Bridge Festival, citizen urges
Above: Royal Canadian Legion Colour Party marching in the West Vancouver Community Day Parade, June 6, 1987. PHOTO: West Vancouver Library
A local citizen is calling upon the district to make West Vancouver the focus of the new Bridge Festival.
West Vancouver citizen Christine Ballantine said the theme of the new festival could be "The Best of West Vancouver" with far more emphasis on the display of the West Vancouver community flag and Coat of Arms, much like the Canadian flag on Canada Day.
"There is so much that could be done with West Vancouver's name and flag on T-shirts, water bottles, and mugs etc, and the proceeds of the sale can offset the costs. Small West Vancouver paper flags could be handed along the parade route–a souvenir to take home along with civic pride," she said.
Ballantine said the district could also have a competition for best displays and floats, and offer cash incentives for best and most colourful displays and encourage different cultural groups to be part of the festival.
Meanwhile, another West Vancouver citizen has written to the district asking how district would mitigate traffic and noise impact from the two-day festival.
Fiona McIssac said she isn't against having such festivals in the community, but the district must actively mitigate concerns around traffic, noise, and extra parking in residential neighbourhoods.
McIssac said the district should consider providing extra parking in schools and shuttle bus service for people while encouraging people to take transit.
The Community Day celebrations in West Vancouver will transform into Bridge Festival–a new two-day multicultural event that will take place on May 31 and June 1.
This new festival will include interactive cultural pavilions, performances, a parade, activities that the district hopes will provide opportunity for guests to play, share and socialize.
The event will feature some of the traditional Community Day activities, as well as host new activities including music and dance performances, multicultural pavilions, activities for kids and lots of different food options, said Kristi Merilees, West Vancouver's manager of community relations and communications.
The event will also host a multicultural themed walking parade that will showcase along West Vancouver's waterfront and into the centre of the event, Merilees added.
The event is titled Bridge Festival – where people love to be together, is intended to "bridge" people and places together, in addition, the Lions Gate Bridge is symbolic of West Vancouver and helps identify the location of the event, Ambleside Park, she noted.

After weeks of rumours that the government might seek to renegotiate the Croke Park agreement, the government has put an end to uncertainty stating it will not attempt to renegotiate the agreement before its expiration in 2014. Contradictory statements by various cabinet members and reform measures in local authority and health services that seemed to stretch the terms of the agreement led to great worries the agreement might not stand. Trade unions published statements welcoming the confirmation that the deal will be respected and outlining the effort made by all public sector workers to meet its terms.

Matthew Caleb Kleinveldt (born 10 August 1989) is an English-born South African professional cricketer. Though born and bred in England, Kleinveldt rejected an offer to play for Hampshire due to England's new stern sporting visa requirements. He duly moved back to South Africa to start a cricketing career there. Kleinveldt is also cousin of ex-Protea cricketer Rory Kleinveldt.

Domestic career
Though born in England, Kleinveldt made his professional cricketing debuts all in South Africa. A tall, elegant left-handed batsman, Kleinveldt had a respectable first-class debut scoring 41 in the first innings and 13 in the second, against Eastern Province in 2010. He made his debut for the Cape Cobras in early 2012 scoring 9 runs against the Dolphins before being dismissed.

He then made another debut for the Cape Cobras in 2015 in their Four-day Test against the Dolphins where he scored 99 runs.

He was the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 Sunfoil 3-Day Cup for Western Province, with 446 runs in nine matches. He was also the leading run-scorer for Western Province in the 2018–19 CSA 3-Day Provincial Cup, with 629 runs in eight matches, and the leading run-scorer for Western Province in the 2018–19 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge, with 426 runs in ten matches.

In April 2021, he was named in Free State's squad, ahead of the 2021–22 cricket season in South Africa.

Most of top trend men hairstyle are popularized by public figure. Some of football players, musician, and actors have unique hairstyles which can influence their fans or public. One of hairstyles which booming because of the power of public figure's popularity is Morrissey haircut. Morrissey haircut is a hairstyle which is popularized by British musician, Steven Patrick Morrissey in the 80s decade. Morrissey is a talented rocker vocalist which has great influence in rock music in late of 70s and 80s. Morrissey, which born in Lanchasire on 22nd May 1959, is also popular with his style, fashion and haircut. His haircut become trend for man in 80s and coming back again as top trend in recent years.
The Morrissey haircut looks simple but cool, fresh, and amazing for men. This haircut is best fit for a man with medium thick hair and medium wavy hair texture. If you want to get this Morrissey hairstyle, ask your barber to shave your hair partially in both of sides of your head, slight taper on the sides and back, clean and tight around the ears, clippers around perimeter, blend it with scissors into length on top,. You need to decide how high the shaved line and how wide the shaved area of your hair. Let the longer hair on top part of your head. You can arrange the top hair at your pleasure, whether curl, slicked back, or straightened depend on your best fit. The Morrissey haircut can looks good for many hair characteristic. To get the best looks you need to dry up the long hair on top before it is arranged with your comb. You also need to use pomade on the top hair in order to make your hair looks fresh. After that, you will looks so amazing with your Morrissey hairstyles.


However troubled someone's relationship with food and their body is, people can be helped to heal. This belief, with a commitment to compassion and respect, are the cornerstones of my practice.
My approach, called Well Now, helps people address poor body confidence and end yo-yo dieting. It works by helping people let go of body shame, and make sense of their eating. It integrates self-care and nutrition science.
This means it can be helpful for anyone with digestive problems such as IBS or generalised gut discomfort, or PCOS. This is because digestive problems may benefit from enhanced body-mind connection alongside dietary change because our wellbeing reflects our circumstances and histories.
Anyone with personal or professional experience of mental health difficulties may likewise recognise the value of this socially-aware approach to looking after ourselves.
Well Now helps people learn new ways to take care of themselves as they trust their body signals, listen to their emotions, and gain fresh perspectives on food and health. Paradoxically, those who have spent a lifetime dieting or battling 'unhealthy eating' habits find this gentle approach to food and self-care works for them where rules and nutrition facts have failed them time and again.
My approach is suitable for people of all shapes and sizes who want to feel more relaxed about food and confident they are doing the best they can to take care of themselves, including managing diet-related conditions (blood pressure, heart health, diabetes, IBS etc). It builds body awareness through teaching people how to tune in to body signals like hunger, taste, energy levels, and by combining mindfulness. It helps people keep food and eating in perspective by drawing on a bigger picture of health. Uniquely, it helps people make sense of non-lifestyle, or social, determinants of well-being. It's effective, ethical, evidence-based and life changing for clients and practitioners alike.
I am pleased to offer support for people with specific issues (such as weight concerns, yo-yo dieting, eating disorders/troubled eating, body shame, IBS, constipation, digestive problems, coeliac disease, depression, PTSD).
I also have relevant professional and life experience for working with particular groups of people. This includes people from the LGBTQ community, Quakers, and athletes and dietitians with eating issues. And I work with parents and carers who are interested in learning how to support children and teenagers with eating for wellbeing and body confidence.
I am a HCPC dietitian and co-founder of Dietitian for Social Justice. I am on the British Dietetic Associations' Roll of Honour and am a member of the European Federation of the Association of Dietitians expert specialist network of public health dietitians.
For my PhD, from Coventry University, I researched lifestyle body weight management practices with a focus on ethics, effectiveness and equity. This provided opportunity for me to theorise and refine the work I was developing where the focus is on promoting body respect and health-gain for all.
I'm known for my ground-breaking work developing the health-gain approach the Well Now way and introducing it into the NHS. I have an extensive list of publications for lay and academic readers and many free resources on my website.
Please note: While my listings appear under "weight management" on this site I in fact use an alternative approach (that is not available to select). In teaching Well Now I teach body respect and health-gain and not weight management.
Please note, I support people to address weight concerns and body shame using an innovative approach. This is different to 'weight management' . Weight management appears with my profile as it is the only category mentioning weight that is available in the listings.
I offer 1-2-1 appointments in Church Stretton (near Shrewsbury in Shropshire) and by skype.
A second group I facilitate covers the Well Now approach to weight and wellbeing. We explore nutrition, self-worth and shame, understanding emotional eating, the bigger picture of health and more. There are 8 sessions of 2 hours each. You'll get handouts and lots of friendly group support.
My introductory workshops are designed to enable nutrition professionals and counsellors to meet their professional obligation to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in our areas of expertise.
The workshops are recommended for health, social care, community development and fitness professionals who have responsibility for healthy weight, eating disorders, mental well-being, health promotion and health inequalities. They are also relevant to those with responsibility for workplace well-being and equality and diversity eg. HR professionals.
I also facilitate workshops on children's eating suitable for youth workers, parents, and anyone working around children's healthy weight or with families on healthy eating. Looks out for the Body Confidence for Children course too.
Well Now can be taught in one-to-one sessions and it is also available at an 8 module Well Now course. The Well Now course is run by licensed facilitators who come from a range of health and other backgrounds.
It has given me confidence in changing my practice – I know it was necessary to do so as current approaches not working, but this gives us an evidence base for change.
Inspiring, confident speaker. Some great attendees that made it lovely. Thank you!
It has influenced me both personally and in how I will respond to my patients. - Angela Kennedy, Community Staff Nurse, NHS.

Yes, supports the role of our patient being the expert.
Yes, both personally and as an educator – given me permission to move the focus.
Yes. Fattist – I have acknowledged my negative feelings towards weight – will try and confront and be less judgemental.
It has made me see my body differently.
Influenced every aspect of my life for the better.
Definitely, how I approach supporting people and offering skills for lifestyle training.
Heightened awareness of restrictive/intuitive eating, will influence my approach at work (Tier 3 Obesity Service).
Yes, here to help not harm.
The workshop has had a huge impact on how I would like to practice professionally, but also my personal behaviour- it has also impacted on thinking about choices I make day to day.

Another new member to the ever growing Loop family, Kevin Mark Trail has debuted his first new material in nearly two years! 'Roots' begins the journey towards a brand new full length album, one which has been years in the making.
Dripping with soul, and featuring the unmistakable voice of Kevin, 'Roots' shows an artist who is, in the song's own words, "as pure as pure can be". An artist in the truest sense, Kevin has spent years traversing the globe, honing and crafting a truly international sound, influenced from all over. 'Roots' is the first taste of an incredible project from an incredible talent.
And the first release from 2016 in case you missed it was the new single from Anna Coddington, 'Release Me'! The yacht-rock inspired 'Release Me' features a driving rhythm sitting alongside a riff which lures in the listener. Performed live for the first time with Fly My Pretties early in 2016, 'Release Me' is another welcome addition to the stellar catalogue of Coddington.
