Publisher's Note: The Call of the Desert
Alta Journal editor and publisher Will Hearst reflects on the romantic desert—and the one that lies in our future.
By Will Hearst
Gregg Segal
A protected area of the Mojave Desert Land Trust, north of Joshua Tree National Park.
T.E. Lawrence was taken by his guides to a ruin in the desert of North Syria. The Arabs believed that it had been built by a prince for his queen and that its clay had been kneaded with the essential oils of flowers. As Lawrence wrote in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, they showed him through the rooms:
"This is jessamine, this violet, this rose.… Come and smell the very sweetest scent of all."… We went into the main lodging, to the gaping window sockets of its eastern face, and there drank with open mouths of the effortless, empty, eddyless wind of the desert.… "This," they told me, "is the best: it has no taste."
We associate the desert with a kind of purity or cleanliness; it's a spare place where all the complicated details of civilization in the temperate zones have been stripped away. In this crucible, some of the world's religions have been born—one thinks of the temptations of Christ and the origins of Islam.
Writers and artists have also been drawn to these simplified but harsh landscapes. The desert winds sometimes intrude on nearby, more cultured enclaves—like the Santa Ana winds, which bring heat, short tempers, and mischief into the Los Angeles Basin.
This article appears in Issue 22 of Alta Journal.
As Raymond Chandler evoked it, "There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge."
The romantic, poetic, and spiritual desert is more than metaphor. As our climate changes, many have begun to see "the desert" as a factual description of the future planet. Sci-fi visions like Mad Max and Dune are beginning to seem less like fantasies and more like weather forecasts.
Other parts of the planet might be experiencing hurricanes, floods, and record-breaking rains. But out here, beyond the 100th meridian, in the already parched West…we are more likely to die of thirst than drowning.
This issue of Alta Journal tries to gather these threads together. We've collected some of the best writing inspired by the contemporary desert experience—reporting on and explorations of our warming and drying western territory.
We track the endless search for the Lost Dutchman Mine, a holy grail quest that has claimed the lives of many seekers. We celebrate the enthusiasm and expertise of Ken Layne, the creator of Desert Oracle, a field guide—of a sort—to the American deserts. You would be safe to travel with him in any corner of the arid West.
We spotlight Chris Colin's adventures in Death Valley, where the temperature rises many degrees off the charts. And we also discover the best biker bars where you might rest your Harley in the shade, and where convictions for drug trafficking, money laundering, and even murder—think outlaw biker gangs—are not considered part of the norm. In fact, everyone is welcome at these six outposts.
Our desert issue also features a smattering of short pieces, like a visit to Blue Sky Center in New Cuyama and new fiction by Susan Straight. There's a fun survey of iconic pop culture moments, from famous magazine shoots (Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Monroe) and music videos (U2, Janet Jackson) to TV shows (Breaking Bad, Kung Fu) and movies (The Hills Have Eyes, Thelma & Louise). And we tour the sandy proving grounds of the aeronautics, automobile, and space industries, as well as the training area used by General George S. Patton's tanks.
We hope to honor some of the great desert rats, like Edward Abbey and Charles Bowden—who wrote with affection and insight about these climates. They saw the western desert as their native territory, where America's values were tested and sometimes found failing. Their gifts as writers made us feel the spirit of the desert, made us want to go there. In this issue, we present another generation of writers who have also found inspiration—spiritual and literary—in the deserts.
Lawrence was right. The scent of the raw desert is spare. And its purity is a revelation.•

Although many trampolines do not come with a trampoline enclosure, it is still beneficial to fit one if your trampoline is in use quite a bit. Even though children become very skilled and jumping, landing and playing all sorts of trampoline games very quickly, it is very easy to fall off causing possible injury from minor grazes to much worse.
On most trampolines, the trampoline enclosure simply connects to the frame with the netting hanging down with a particular part which opens for entry and exit off of the trampoline. The netting itself can be easily encroached to stop it hanging over the jumping pad. This gives parents the peace of mind that their children are playing safe and that they will not get caught up in the netting whilst jumping.
As there are several different sizes of trampoline, you can get a trampoline enclosure which is designed for the specific size of your trampoline frame.
Alternatively, you can purchase many trampolines such as a Jumpking Trampoline that come with a safety net enclosure as standard. Others include other accessories including trampoline covers, ladders and shoe racks.


The signal that a microphone picks up is actually very low, and needs to be boosted for it to be used with your recording device. This is exactly what a mic-preamp does; it boosts the signal to a level that is useable for recording. Initially, you'll probably want to use the pre-amps built into your mixer or interface, if you happen to have either, as it will save money.
However, these kinds of preamps are often of a fairly low quality. Basically, with mic preamps, you pay for sound quality. Musicians after the absolute best quality sound could well spend $3000 on a preamp. If however you are just starting out and have perhaps a budget of $1000 you could use the preamps on your mixer or your audio interface. It's not only budget that affects the output quality on the preamp, you must also know how correctly set levels etc.
Let's talk a little about the features you'll find on most mic preamps, and some tips to ensure you get the optimal sound. Input - Set the input to high as possible providing the meters are not crossing into the red. Having the levels reaching red is introducing distortion, which is going to go through the entire signal path. Meaning that when you listen back to your recording on the computer, you're likely to hear a lot of crackling noises. So again, push the signal as high as possible but do not let it enter the red. Pad - This is a great feature if you are recording sounds other than guitar.
For instance if you were to mic a loud sound source like snare drum even with the input turned all the way down the levels may still be hitting red. Select this feature and it will help to tame the sound further and make it useable. Phantom Power - This is a power source that is sent through a mic cable to a microphone that needs it, such as a condenser mic. It's good to note that some fairly cheap preamps only offer +30v, and some condenser mics may not perform to their best at this level.
It's nice to have phantom power built in to your mic preamp otherwise you would have to get a separate phantom power source. Number Of Preamps - This can range from one single preamp right through to eight preamps in one box. What you are recording will generally determine how many you will need. Vocals are usually recorded in mono, whilst acoustic guitars could be recorded in stereo. Perhaps you are recording an entire band and require one for each amplifier and vocalist, along with several for the drums.
High Pass Filtering - This generally means that all the highs will pass through while the lows are cut. Mics pick up an astounding amount of bass so this is a great feature to have. Of course, this can be corrected using software, though you may as well resolve the problem at the source so you don't have to worry about it later. Hopefully this has given you an insight to what a mic preamp does, and what features to look for when shopping around. Have a read through the bullet points again and compare your list of needs with the features of available on a variety of preamps. Hopefully you will be able to find a product that suits your needs.


Chaos reigned. More men were fleeing the compound than were rushing inside. I rushed forward, but based on my mental picture of the basic layout and the smell of gas in the air, I guessed the explosion came from the kitchen at the back of the main house. If I remembered correctly, there was a service entrance there for food and supply delivery. God bless, Bella mia.
I veered away from the front door and ran toward the side of the house and hoped to hell I could make it to the back service entrance without anyone stopping me—and without anyone following me. Because there was a damn good chance I'd find Isabella there. Somewhere. Maybe driving a truck escaping down the service driveway to freedom.
That was the best-case scenario and when I rounded the corner, staying away from the hot burning building, I realized she would be lucky if she got out. The back wall where I swore the kitchen would have been according to the plans I saw, had been blown to bits. Fire and rubble filled my vision and my heart went into overdrive until I talked it back, remembered the mantra, the training to keep a cool head when everything around you was going to hell.
Men were shouting, wielding weapons. I lifted mine in case anyone got any ideas. Then I heard the cracking sound. Ammunition. The fire had gotten to an ammunition store.


KUCHING: The Ministry of Local Government and Housing will continue to request for additional funding from the federal government for the construction of 278 untis of affordable housing in Permyjaya Tiga, Kuala Baram in Miri which has been postponed for nearly five years.
Assistant Minister of Housing and Public Health Dr Annuar Rapaee said so far there is no plan to implement the project that was approved by the State Planning Unit on Nov 10, 2016.
"The application for additional funds from the federal government is included in the third round of the 11th Malaysia Plan. However, the application has been rejected," he said in reply to a question from Piasau assemblyman Datuk Sebastian Ting on the third day of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting today.
Ting said the project was launched in April, 2013 but has yet to be implemented despite five years of waiting.
The provision of more affordable homes in Miri is one of the goals that have been included in Ting's five-year manifesto.
Dr Annuar revealed that a total of RM50 million is needed to make the project a success.
He added that there were also plans for549 units of terrace houses, commercial areas and community facilities tobe built at Permyjaya Tiga.
In this regard, Ting was urged to work with Miri MP Dr Michael Teo to bring more projects from the federal government to Miri.
According to Dr Annuar, Dr Teo in August has expressed his desire to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to build 8,000 affordable houses in Miri.
According to Dr Teo, the amount is equivalent to 10 per cent of the 20,000 houses promised to be constructed in Sarawak by the ministry which targeted for the construction of 1 million houses across the country within the period of five years.

High performance GPU Cooler - Xigmatek Battle-Axe Review by MetkuMods - Because you love your hardware!
Not too long ago we tested Xigmatek's CPU heatsinks, one of which featured a new HDT or Heatpipe Direct Touch base where the heatpipes are exposed and have direct contact with the CPU. The HDT-S1283 proved to be an excellent cooler and now Xigmatek has launched a new graphic card cooler that uses a similar HDT base.
The Battle-axe comes in a see-through package that shows the fan shroud and the base of the cooler. There are also specification printed to the back side of the packet so Xigmatek once again has managed to make a good and informative packet for their product.
The bundle of the Battle-Axe contains four rubber pins for the fans, an user's manual, two installation brackets, two long and six small memory heatsinks, a bag of mounting screws, a small bag of thermal paste, a 3-pin power splitter for the fans and a heatsink for a bridge chip on some graphic cards.

When Must Co-ops and Condos Pay Their Employees Prevailing Wages? It's Crunch Time for Tax Abatement
By Leni Morrison Cummins, Jennifer D. Miller, Janice Sued Agresti 9 February 2022 Law & Legislation
Certain cooperatives (co-ops) and condominiums (condos) that wish to be eligible for the co-op and condo property tax abatement are in a mad dash to submit the newly required prevailing wage affidavit.
Which Communities Must Submit the Affidavit to Qualify?
In a previous alert, we advised that effective April 1, 2022, condos and co-ops must be deemed a "Qualified Property" in order for the building or any of its unit owners or shareholders to receive a tax abatement pursuant to Section 467-a of the Real Property Tax Law (§ 467-a). That means for properties that have (i) 30 or more residential dwelling units and an average unit assessed value of more than $60,000, or (ii) fewer than 30 residential dwelling units and an average unit assessed value of more than $100,000, condos and co-ops must submit an affidavit certifying that they are paying their service employees prevailing wages.
As such, the New York City Department of Finance (DOF) published a preliminary list of buildings that must submit the prevailing wage affidavit to qualify for the abatement. The prevailing wage affidavit must be submitted by April 15, 2022 unless further extended, as part of the initial or renewal application process for the 2022-23 tax abatement period.
Further, co-ops and condos that already submitted their application for the tax year 2022-23 still need to submit the prevailing wage affidavit. The affidavit must be signed by an officer of the co-op or condo, or by an authorized agent, such as the managing agent of the building.
When Must Co-ops & Condos Pay Prevailing Wages?
The prevailing wage affidavit requires the affiant to certify that all building service employees employed or to be employed shall receive the applicable prevailing wage for the duration of the tax abatement year. However, that begs the question: When do boards need to start paying their service employees prevailing wages? Is it the date that the affidavit was executed? Or perhaps it is April 1, 2022, when the changes to § 467-a become effective? Or is it July 1, 2022, when the fiscal year commences? To answer what could be more than a million-dollar question for some building communities, we sought clarification from the Office of the New York City Comptroller (ONYCC). The ONYCC advised that:
The prevailing wage requirement under Real Property Tax Law section 467-a is only in effect during the time that the building is receiving the tax abatement. Buildings that apply and are approved for the abatement starting July 1, 2022, must begin paying prevailing wages on July 1, 2022. Because the affidavit is part of the application process for the abatement period commencing July 1, 2022, prevailing wages must be paid starting July 1, 2022, and not before.
What Are the Prevailing Wages?
For a brief overview of the current prevailing wage schedule, please see the following link. "Wage" is defined to include the basic hourly cash rate of pay and supplements. According to the New York Department of Labor, "[S]upplements are fringe benefits including, [among others], medical or hospital care, pensions on retirement or death, and vacation and holiday pay," which a board may want to consider to properly meet the prevailing wage calculation. However, these supplements do not include certain fringe benefits that are required by law such as NYS COVID-19 Leave, NYS Vaccination Leave, and in some instances, the Paid Sick Leave and Earned Safe and Sick Time Act. Boards of condos and coops should contact their counsel to (1) evaluate who qualifies as a service employee under § 467-a and (2) prepare a customized prevailing wage analysis tailored to the service employees employed at the building.

Q: Weird behavior of assertions in Eclipse I have found a strange behavior of assertions in Java (Eclipse). Easy example: If i execute this...
public static void main (String[] args) {
    assert(getA() == "a") : "Invalid";
    System.out.println("Assertion successful!");
}

private static String getA()
{
    return "a";
}

... it will show me "Assertion successful!" as it should. However if i try this...
public static void main (String[] args) {
    assert(getA() + "b" == "ab") : "Invalid";
    System.out.println("Assertion successful!");
}

private static String getA()
{
    return "a";
}

... I get an AssertionError. How come this Assertion doesn't return true?
Note:

*

*Don't forget to add the "-ea" Parameter in the VM arguments when testing! (Eclipse: enable assertions)

A: You need to give
"a".equals(getA());

Second case
"ab".equals("b".concat(getA()));

Reason:- == is for comparing object references, whereas equals() is used for the string value comparison, which is what you needed. Plus, the first scenario had the same string literal "a", hence, it returned true. But in the second case, a new instance of String was created for getA()+b , which is different from the literal "ab".

A: "a" is a literal on compile time, then "a"=="a" evaluates as true
getA()+"b" creates a new instance of String, which is different from the compile time literal "ab"

Day one of the Puma International Moth Worlds was a light wind affair, but a good race. I didn't get a great start, and was in the teens for the first beat. After a good run I was up near the top ten, and did well out of playing the right hand side up the beat to find myself with not many people in front. I was on the stbd layline with Mike Lennon the final time, but stuck in his dirt, in marginal conditions I lost a fair bit of distance. Si Payne closed up, and soaked inside me a bit on the run. I gybed out, and he dropped off the foils on his gybe. He got up again though and had good pressure down the middle. I came foiling back across but not at a great angle. It was all on at the finish though as I foiled through my final gybe and Simon was coming in lowriding. He pipped me at the line on a beep beep finish. I was happy with my 6th place though, I had no idea on what to expect having done so little sailing since the last Worlds.
I'm pleased with my speed - especially as I'm using a MSL10 in marginal conditions. (Using a 10 in Dubai, and a 13 in the USA might not be the right way round!) A last minute wand change made a world of difference, and suddenly I can gybe and tack again after a week of thinking it was just my lack of sailing time since the last Worlds.
Shirley Robertson is out here with CNN Mainsail, and as they are only here for three days they are trying to squeeze in getting as much coverage as possible for an upcoming feature on speed.
I agreed to help out by putting some cameras on the boat before racing and get some underwater shots of the boat taking off. It was a bit high risk with the camera attached to the gantry and therefore a high speed touchdown was not to be recommended! I eventually got up in the air despite the extra drag. De-misting cameras 30mins before the start and getting some more footage wasn't quite the normal first race of a Worlds prep, but hopefully it'll be good footage. Shirley tried sailing Bora's boat after the finish, but the wind had dropped too much for her to get up. They are now a little nervous today, as shots of Shirley doing 4/5 knots do not make for a good article on speed!

GUEST POST:
3 Top Challenges Non-Fiction Writers Face
By Rachel Thompson
Write something you'd never show your mother or father ~ Lorrie Moore, author.
As a nonfiction essayist, I basically write short stories that are not stories in the classical sense; it's more my views on the experiences I've had or observed in others. I've been writing all types of pieces since I was a child, but now I mostly wrote short stories, journals, or articles (though I am working on an literary erotica anthology and a new work of fiction). Writing nonfiction comes easy to me.
There are three basic challenges I face in this genre:
1. Most people love fiction (me, too!)
2. Criticism for sharing intimate moments
3. Marketing issues
Let's deconstruct.
Fiction: Most readers are looking for an escape. Why do you think Romance is the number one selling genre? It's like Disney all grown up, with sex and stuff.
As a nonfiction writer, I still get to write about that stuff (if I choose), but getting people to look at my books can be a real challenge, when what they're really after is the next Fifty Shades of Whatever.
On the other hand, there have never been as many blogs as there are now – that says something very intriguing to me about what people want to read. We DO want real stories; we DO want real characters; we DO relate to universal truths.
Which leads me to my next point…
Criticism: When I wrote my first book A Walk In The Snark, I wanted to show the arc of comedy to tragedy. I never planned the book to be all humor--just more my take on different life situations; but then it just so happened during the writing of it an ex-lover tragically killed himself. I used my writing as a way to express the shock and grief I felt over his death. Always a survivor, the word took on a decidedly different meaning after that.
I expect people to not like my work, because these are my experiences, opinions, and books, right? Not to take away from the many people who loved it (and reached out to me privately as survivors themselves); to have touched them in a way that made them both laugh and cry is extraordinarily meaningful to me.
And yet…some people felt I exploited his death for sympathy, to sell more books, to make more money. And they are certainly entitled to think that. And that's okay. But I think, for any nonfiction writer, we have to know that people will object to our content, particularly if their values are different. A nonfiction writer, or any writer really, needs to know that people will have opinions about our truth.
(Interestingly, my next book is not humor at all. It's about the arc, if you will, many women (including me) experience as we grow: fear, desire, love, loss, grief, and then, trust and deeper love.)
Marketing: You'd think that marketing nonfiction books would be easier than fiction, but I find it difficult at times (and I'm a marketer, too!). In fiction, you have characters and a story line people latch onto. In nonfiction, I basically become the main character by default; ergo, everything I say and do creates a persona that people assume is real. For example, I mention Prada shoes in my book as a literary device for something women desire, which people instead, took quite literally.
Again, that's okay. I'm not here to defend myself to anyone. My point is that finding my brand, understanding what naturally drives and interests me, is what I endeavor to convey to people. And sometimes I fail, clearly. But when you're marketing your books about personal experiences, it can be hard to be objective.
That's why I recommend every writer have critique partners, a great editor, proofreader, graphic artist, and formatter (unless you know how to do that).
Allow people to help you through these challenges. In the end, we're all better off for it.
Engage in the difficult work – I'm not saying take shortcuts because letting others help you takes courage and last time I checked, asking for feedback is never, ever easy.
In good work, there are no shortcuts.
INTERVIEW:1. If you could invite any 5 people to dinner who would you choose?
My maternal grandmother and grandfather (since they've both passed) so I could introduce them to my children; Steve Martin because he's brilliant; John Irving and Lorrie Moore; David and Amy Sedaris. Wait, that's 7. Oh well.
2. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?
Does family count as a thing? Okay, then my family. A generator. A satellite phone. (The last two are awfully boring and practical, I know. But hey, I watched LOST).
3. What is one book everyone should read?
The World According To Garp by John Irving. It's got everything: love, sadness, romance, death, parenting, sports…honestly, how can anyone not want to read it?
4. If you were a superhero what would your name be?
Nutella Girl
5. If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
I want to twitch my nose like Bewitched and have dinner made, home clean, kids bathed, and my next book written. Does that make me a witch? Er, oops.
6. What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
7. Night owl, or early bird?
Definitely night owl. Mornings and I do not get along.
8. One food you would never eat?
Anything that's not normally thought of as food: bugs, cats or dogs, etc. That's just disgusting.
9. Pet Peeves?
When people spell a lot as alot. Do they not know? This is a total mystery. Well, that and why coconut exists. Blech. (Someone once called it tongue hair, which I think describes it so well.)
10. Skittles or M&Ms?
Mmmm. Chocolate.
11. Please tell us in one sentence only, why we should read your book.
Well, I have two books and my third comes out in a few months; I write with pure honesty, which is meant to pull out emotions we don't acknowledge. (Is a semi-colon ok?)
12. Any other books in the works? Goals for future projects?
Besides my next book, Broken Pieces, I'm also working with author Pavarti K. Tyler and my editor, Jessica Swift Eldridge, on a literary erotica anthology. Then comes my next book in the Chronicles of Snark trilogy, titled Chickspeak: Uncovered.
13. What inspired you to want to become a writer?
When I was nine, my fourth grade teacher read us The Secret Garden. That was it. I was hooked.
14. Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published.
In my first book, A Walk In The Snark, I write about love, loss, relationships, etc. I also share my grief upon finding out a former lover committed suicide. One of my readers contacted me privately to share their grief when they suddenly lost their spouse the same way. That was when I knew I had done the right thing.
15. Is there a song you could list as the theme song for your book or any of your characters?
I'm still pretty obsessed with Poe's album Haunted. Her songs Control and Amazed are my favorites.
16. What's one piece of advice you would give aspiring authors?
Just do it. We can always find excuses not to, but if you love writing, you can't help it. It pours out of you. Edit later. Just get it down.
17. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Italy; but I'd have to be able to also eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight, a la Defending Your Life.
18. What's the best advice anyone has ever given you?
I quote Lorrie Moore a lot: 'Write something you'd never show your mother or father.' It's incredibly freeing.
19. Hidden talent?
Piano. I took for eight years.
20. Favorite Food?
Anything ethnic: Asian, Indian, Mexican. You get the idea.
21. Favorite Candy?
Gumballs!
22. How do you react to a bad review?
Just move on. Don't take it personally. I think 1-stars actually give validity to our work. I don't like everyone I meet just as they won't like me. Why should books be any different? Free speech, man. AND: people are reading my work. Always a plus!
23. You have won one million dollars what is the first thing that you would buy?
A room of my own for writing. Where nobody can bother me!
24. Which authors have influenced you most & how?
Lorrie Moore for sure – she's a brilliant short story author. And David Sedaris – he writes what we really think but are afraid to say, in ways that make you laugh and cry.
25. What do you do in your free time?
Read. Kinda boring, I know.
26. What's your favorite season/weather?

The UK Government has spent over £50 million to help some of the most vulnerable in Scotland cope with the recent cold snap, the Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Moore announced revealed today.
At the Spending Review in October the Coalition Government turned the temporary increase in the Cold Weather Payments by the last government into a permanent increase. The payments of £25 per week are triggered when temperatures at local weather stations dip below an average of zero degrees over a week.
There have been just over two million separate cold weather payments in Scotland between 23 November 2010 and 18 January 2011, totalling around £52.3 million of financial assistance to disabled adults and children, the elderly and families with young children who receive an income related benefit. Around 437,500 individuals in Scotland have received help from the payment scheme at a time when help is needed most.
"The Coalition Government is committed to supporting the vulnerable in Scotland and the cold weather payments are just one example of the steps we are taking to make sure people can cope with difficult weather conditions. The £52 million Scots have received is money well spent.
Many eligible people across Scotland will also have received Winter Fuel Allowance payments, which will also help them at this difficult time of year.
Michael Moore has been working closely with the Energy Secretary on the introduction of the Warm Front Discount scheme which also forms part of the Government's broader proposals for helping vulnerable customers.
During December, the Secretary of State discussed pricing and social tariffs with senior executives of SSE, Eon, EDF, RWE npower, Scottish Gas and ScottishPower.
The Secretary of State discussed the responsibility of the companies to assist their most vulnerable customers with manageable energy costs and the need to publicise the assistance available. The companies have commitments to maintain their current social tariffs through this winter despite price rises for other customers.

ANIMAX Asia to simulcast "High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World" anime series this Autumn 2019
Upcoming fantasy anime to feature voices of Yusuke Kobayashi, Rina Hidaka and Yuki Kuwahara.
© Riku Misora, SB Creative Corp. / CHOYOYUI Project
Southeast Asian anime channel ANIMAX Asia has announced on Monday that they will air the upcoming fantasy anime series High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World this Autumn 2019 season.
The new show will premiere on October 4, airing every Fridays at 08:30pm PHT, within 24 hours after its initial Japanese telecast. Same-day encore telecast at 11:30pm PHT.
High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World is an anime adaptation of a Japanese fantasy light novel series, written by Riku Misora and illustrated by Sacraneco, which is being published by SB Creative under their GA Bunko imprint since October 2015 and currently has eight (8) volumes.
The light novel was adapted into a manga series, illustrated by Kotaro Yamada, which is being published in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine since May 2016 and currently has seven (7) volumes.
Yen Press, who releases the manga series in English, described the story:
In Japan, there are seven superhuman highschoolers who are world-class geniuses in various fields ranging from governance to economics and beyond. On one fateful day, these seven wind up in a plane accident and wake up only to find themselves in another world.
Finding themselves in a foreign place where magic and beast-people are real, they immediately proceed to panic-or at least that's what would've happened if they were some run of the mill students!!
If anything, these seven are actually using their talents to do absolutely ludicrous things so they can go home…
"Let's take it easy, because if we really let loose, I'm pretty sure we'll end up destroying this world."
The upcoming anime adaptation will be directed by Shinsuke Yanagi, who previously directed The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!, while Snow White with the Red Hair scriptwriter Deko Akao will handle the series composition.
Akane Yano, who worked on The Fruit of Grisaia series, will handle character designs, which will be produced by project No.9.

Juliana Areias – BOSSA NOVA BABY ( Brazil/Perth)
Juliana Areias celebrates the success of the her first original album "Bossa Nova Baby" with shows in Sydney and Europe.
"The release of Bossa Nova Baby has elevated her above a mere covers singer or bossa specialist. The singer excels in an elegant co-composed duet (Belas Artes) with Australia's finest Brazilian-oriented 7-string guitarist, Doug de Vries". The Australian – Tony Hillier
Bossa Nova Baby is her nickname. And now also the title of her first original album.
With over a year of consecutive sold out concerts around Australia, Brazilian singer Juliana Areias launches album worldwide and announces her first concert at the Sydney Opera House (sold-out ) on 8/9, and one night only extra show with her stellar 7 piece band at the Foundry 616 on 9/10, before heading to her European tour.
Recently compared to the singer Bebel Gilberto by Brazil's acclaimed EPOCA Magazine and by the critics of The Australian Newspaper, Areias says that the Bossa Nova Baby album is a contemporary dialogue between Bossa Nova and other music styles such as jazz, samba, choro, tango, funk and pop. At her live concert, exclusive arrangements of Bossa Nova and MPB Classics are also combined with her original songs. Her band features Perth's top jazz musicians: Graham Wood ( piano), Ray Walker ( guitar), Pete Jeavons (bass and arrangements), Chris Tarr ( drums) , Paul Millard ( sax/flute), plus Sydney's special guest trombonist Dave Panichi.
"It's bossa that plays soccer with jazz – like it has since the 60's – and scoring a goal." – says Antonio Carlos Miguel – music critic of O Globo newspaper and judge member of the Latin Grammy Award – about her song "Flecha" (Arrow), one of the tracks on the Bossa Nova Baby Album. The song is a tribute to Rio de Janeiro's 450st anniversary in 2015.
Have a taste of The Bossa Nova Baby's album at her website: www.julianaareias.com and get ready to enjoy the Bossa Nova Baby live experience!

A primer on alternatives to Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system
Imagine Canada's current first-past-the-post electoral system is changed so that each party's share of the popular vote is more closely reflected in the number of seats it wins in the House of Commons.
OTTAWA — Imagine Canada's current first-past-the-post electoral system is changed so that each party's share of the popular vote is more closely reflected in the number of seats it wins in the House of Commons.
Now suppose one party wins 37.3 per cent of the vote, another 28.2 per cent, a third 23.4 per cent and a fourth 11.1 per cent.
How would seats be allocated, based on those fractional percentages? Afficionados of proportional representation will tell you there's any number of possibilities.
There's the "largest remainder method," although that could lead to an "apportionment paradox." Alternatively, there's the St. Lague method, the Webster method, the Schepers method or the modified St. Lague. There are pros and cons to each, fully understood possibly only by mathematicians.
This is the type of complication that the soon-to-be-constituted all-party committee on electoral reform will have to grapple with as they strive to deliver on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's promise that the 2015 federal election be the last conducted under FPTP.
That mind-numbing complexity may well account for why Canadians in the three provinces that have held referendums on electoral reform — British Columbia, Ontario and Prince Edward Island — have opted for the devil they know.
Still, Kelly Carmichael, executive director of Fair Vote Canada, says 85 per cent of the 34 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development have adopted some form of proportional representation "because it's more democratic" than the Canadian system, wherein the governing party has routinely won the majority of Commons seats with less than 40 per cent of the vote.
If citizens in most OECD countries can wrap their heads around the complexities of PR, Carmichael is confident Canadians can too.
Leaving the more arcane complexities for MPs to ponder, here's an electoral-reform-for-dummies primer on the options the committee — and Canadians — will have to consider:
Majoritarian or Proportional?
First-past-the-post, two-round voting and ranked ballot systems are examples of "majoritarian" voting systems, which are characterized by having one winner per electoral district.
In FPTP, the candidate with the most votes wins, often with considerably less than 50 per cent of the vote	everyone else loses, leaving supporters of other candidates to feel their votes may have been "wasted." Critics complain the system produces "false majorities" and unfairly rewards smaller parties, like the Bloc Quebecois, whose support is heavily concentrated in one region, and disadvantages those, like the Greens, whose support may be greater but is more thinly spread across the country.
In the two-round or run-off system, a second round of voting is conducted if no candidate receives more than 50 per cent of the vote, with trailing candidates dropped from the ballot. It is the most costly of electoral systems, according to a 2004 Law Commission of Canada study of electoral reform, and has not been seriously advocated in Canada.
A cheaper route to the same end is the preferential or ranked-ballot system, in which voters rank their choices in order of preference. If no candidate wins 50 per cent of the vote, the last-place candidate is dropped from the ballot and the second choices of his or her supporters are counted. This continues until one candidate emerges with more than 50 per cent.
Ranked balloting would encourage parties to be less adversarial as they court second choice support. But it would not ensure proportional allocation of seats and supporters of losing candidates could still feel their votes were wasted.
During the 2013 Liberal leadership race, Trudeau expressed his personal preference for ranked ballots but he promised during last fall's election campaign to strike a committee to consider other options as well, including proportional representation, or PR.
PR systems are characterized by having multiple members representing electoral districts and are designed so that a party's share of the vote produces a roughly equivalent share of the seats in the legislature.
Critics argue that PR is more likely to produce unstable minority or coalition governments. Advocates maintain it encourages parties to be more collegial and less adversarial, while making every vote count.
There is a wide variety of different PR systems in use around the globe, including New Zealand, Scotland and Germany. They can involve an element of ranked balloting.
Mixed Member Proportional
MMP was proposed in Ontario and P.E.I. and rejected in referendums in 2007 and 2005 respectively. It is the preferred option of the federal NDP.
Under the Ontario model, voters would cast two ballots, one for a local candidate and one for a party. Each riding would continue to elect a member using the existing FPTP system but those winners would be supplemented by members chosen from province-wide party lists, apportioned according to each party's share of the popular vote.
For a country-wide electoral system, The Law Commission recommended adoption of the MMP system used in Scotland, where voters cast a ballot for one candidate in a single-member constituency and another ballot for a party list in a multi-member regional riding.
Open List vs. Closed List
The Ontario model involved closed party lists, with candidates chosen strictly by party brass. Closed lists would allow parties to put members of under-represented groups, like women or ethnic and religious minorities, high on their lists, increasing their chances of winding up in the Commons.
But critics, including Trudeau, object to the potential of party elites rigging the lists to suit themselves and to the notion of list MPs not being directly elected by or accountable to voters in specific constituencies.
That could be addressed by adopting an "open" party list approach, giving voters a chance to endorse one or more candidates on a party list. However, the Law Commission report noted that such a system can encourage unhealthy competition and infighting within a party — a problem that became so acute in Italy that it scrapped the open list concept.
STV is another PR option that would minimize the influence of party elites. It is used in Ireland and to elect the Australian Senate. It was also proposed — and rejected in two referendums — in B.C.
Under the B.C. proposal, the province would have been divvied up into multi-member regions, for each of which a party could nominate multiple candidates. Voters would be invited to rank their favoured candidates in order of preference. A mathematical formula called the "Droop quota" would be used to determine who wins a seat, based on voter turnout and the number of seats available in each district. Candidates who met that quota would be elected.
The proposal involved a complicated procedure — called the "weighted inclusive Gregory method" –for counting the second preferences of voters whose first choice candidate garnered more votes than necessary to meet the quota.
The biggest drawback of STV, the Law Commission concluded, is its complexity. It would also be a "signficant depature" from the "seemingly cherished principle" of one MP representing one riding.
Custom-made PR System
The all-party committee could develop a unique PR system custom-designed for Canada. Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion has already produced one such model: "P3 — proportional, preferential-personalized."
Under his proposal, voters would elect up to five MPs per riding (which would be larger and fewer in number). They would cast two ballots: one ranking their party preferences, the second selecting their preferred candidate from the list put forward by their top-choice party.
Parties with the fewest first choice rankings would be eliminated and their supporters' second choices counted and so on until all the seats in the riding were won by various parties. A party that won one or more seats in a riding would be obliged to fill those seats with the candidates on its list who won the most votes.

The Regal Owners Forum • View topic - 2300 rx surf. Are the trim tabs adjustable?
2300 rx surf. Are the trim tabs adjustable?
Hi everyone. I just purchased a new 2300 RX surf and hoping somebody could help clear up an issue I'm having with my trim tabs. I've noticed that when my ballasts are equal on both starboard and Portside and mostly filled in the center my wave shape and length are slightly different on either side. I've used regal view to adjust left and right and also changed position of my passengers. Regardless what I've done the starboard side wave has a bit more length, shape and height versus the port side. Is it possibly a trim tab adjustment that needs to be done manually under the boat? I've noticed there's no option for adjusting them on regal view. I absolutely love this new boat however I wish I could create a better ride on my preferred side.
Re: 2300 rx surf. Are the trim tabs adjustable?
I bet they could add adjustability with a software update but I doubt that happens. I'm still waiting for a clock.
What about weight distribution? To me it could make sense that the starboard side is different because you are sitting starboard. Do you have your gear evenly distrbuted?
Are you sure the bags are filled the same? I ask because I have one that did not empty all the way out. It always has more than the other even tho the gauge says they are the same.
I'm interested to see what you come up with and what your preferred dialed in settings are. I am still hunting for mine.
On a V-drive I would blame prop torque but the 2300 has counter-rotating props right? Could it still be producing that much uneven prop torque?
I have a regal 2500 surf so it's a bit different boat - but I run full ballast on all 3 tanks, 10.5 mph and 0% trim and the wave is very good. The more people in the back, all the better. When I run with any motor trim things get worse - you may want to try that if you haven't already. Again - my boat is longer so I'm sure that makes a difference plus 2000 lbs of water ballast is a bit more than yours I think.
There is a paddle calibration procedure in the dealer screen I think.


The View From The Other Side For Once. Muslim Men's Experiences Of Finding The ONE Online.
Normally I wouldn't par-take in the self indulgence of claiming to know what's wrong with everyone by enforcing my irrelevant opinion of entire people based on my experience with a relatively low number considering the number of people who are out there looking. However, it seems men are always being portrayed as the ones for the reason behind "women" not being able to get married.
Neither am I going to indulge in some clichéd biographical explanation about how I have found myself or learned about myself in this process. At 35 years old, I'd like to think I know myself pretty well. For the sake of balance and sticking up for guys who are genuine, I shall lend my opinion.
Admittedly, I thought it would be easy myself, "how hard can it be to get married" well, after almost a year, very hard – and that's just by looking at some of the profiles. I don't even need to go so far as meeting/talking to someone to find flaws in the process.
"You read a basic profile of someone, they read yours. You exchange pictures" Let's start here shall we. So the basic profile, how basic is a basic profile?
The I've just joined at 2AM – They start with the "just joined so will fill in later" what exactly does that mean, when you apply for a credit card, do you just fill in half your details, you go to a job interview what to do you, walk out half way? Why don't you just join at a time when you can fill out your details and write a profile? All that says to us guys is you aren't serious, and no serious guy will entertain such profiles. Oh yes, the players may have a shot, but what do you expect.
I have no personality or life – You know the ones, "I really don't know what to write about myself" so what you are saying is that you have done nothing in your life, have no interests and have no personality. In which case, you probably don't have anything to write. Or, you have "don't want to plaster my life over an app" well you going to have to write something, how else will we know if we are going to be interested, or anything that peaks our interest. As a tip though, for those who do struggle, how about writing about your interests, a few personality traits, what you like as a person, likes/dislikes.
Message me's – well firstly, they clearly struggle with apps and technology because what they haven't fathomed is that they need to match with someone before you can message each other.
Blind daters/Window Shoppers – A funny species, they state looks aren't important, yet have their profiles blurred. So basically if they like the look if you they'll get in touch. I struggle to fathom why you would have you pic hidden and I have heard all of the excuses. My cousins are on here, I don't want my friends seeing, and "I'm all about personality." Can we all just stop trying to be idealists and state yes looks do matter; everyone wants someone who they are attracted to. Why it is such a taboo I will never know. The window shoppers will have their pics on show but fill in their profile by writing "blah blah blah blah" to or "is this 200 words yet" because they are only interested in looks.
Don't do ugly –As bad as the Cilla Blacks, probably worse as they are arrogant enough to advertise their shallowness by stating they are after someone "good looking." So, can anyone definitely generally define good looking to suit the masses? Everyone wants someone good looking but everyone's idea of "good looking" is individual to them, to actually state it all you are doing is showing your shallowness.
The busy bee's – They either state on their profiles I am extremely busy so don't come on much or when you talk to them they reply 3 days later saying sorry "have been busy." Well, I don't think I go a few hours without looking at my PHONE, or speaking to mates on my PHONE so kudos to those who do. I emphasise PHONE because this app is phone based ? If you are too busy to talk to anyone with regards to finding yourself a husband, then perhaps you should wait until either you are less busy or are willing to make the effort required and expected.
My religion is between me and Allah – the ones that switch as soon as you ask them a religious question or about their inclination towards the deen. Now, if getting married is half your deen, and marriage completes your deen, then I think it's quite fundamental to ask about ones religiousness irrespective of how religious anyone is. I, for example state on my profile I attend and believe in the Mawlid, that's not to cause debate or argumentation. It's because I am after someone who is of the same standing as me for the reason stated above. Yet the amount of women who seem to ignore that point, of match choosing to ignore it is ridiculous. Then all that shows me is you didn't read my profile and I am put off instantly.
Ssssssshhhhhh – My parents don't know I'm looking. First of all, why don't they know? Or is it a case you shouldn't be looking for yourself? And if things do progress, how will you say you met. I assume you will have to lie? Not the best way to start the next stage of your life.
I could go on and on, but the point of this post is to provide some balance to the continuous guy bashing and to provide women with a reflection of where they go wrong before even speaking to someone so they can fix up their profiles. If you don't portray yourselves at seriously making an effort, you aren't going to attract serious people. Though, maybe that's what you're after. There are after all two people involved, I think some women expect the guy to make all the effort, what are you going to do? You want to get married or be waited on? It's a two way process, the least you can do is meet us half way.
The process, there is no set process; everyone has their own way of doing stuff. Someone people want to be comfortable with the person before they take them home to their respective parents, others want the families, uncles aunties and grandparents involved before they have even met the person they are speaking to. There's nothing wrong with a bit of balance. I remember listening to a talk by sheikh Muhammed Al-Yaqoubi called "Muslims, making marriage easier", maybe of interest to some.
Have I just generalised? You bet, isn't that what all these posts are for because not everyone is the same.
That said, I do believe muzmatch to be the best of the apps by far. Yes they have a few issues, like being a little quicker when you report a profile, which in my case will be for "blah..blah..will fill in later.." though that will come as they grown inshallah. I believe they genuinely understand the responsibility they have taken on and are doing so sincerely. However, they will always be reliant on the quality of their user's so it's up to us to share that burden.
I pray everyone finds the best partner for them inshallah.
This wasn't a calculated choreographed piece written for a tabloid. It was just an off the cuff response to the tiresome barrage of flack guys have to take, so if there are some grammatical issues, I am extremely busy so didn't have time to go through it all ?

← Commercial Drive struggles to find formula for weekly car-free days The ignored world of Vancouver's male sex-trade workers →
Second HEAT shelter now closed
August 5th, 2009 · 13 Comments
This just out from city hall, where apparently some poor wretch is still employed to put out news releases while everyone else is on holiday.
Howe Street shelter closes two days early
The Howe Street shelter has closed two days ahead of schedule thanks to the availability and acceptance of alternate housing by shelter residents, Vancouver Deputy Mayor Geoff Meggs announced today.
"Over the past two days, staff from the City of Vancouver, BC Housing and RainCity Housing and Support Society worked closely with shelter residents to find suitable accommodations in other locations," Meggs said. "The completion of renovation projects at several provincially owned single-room occupancy hotels has created new housing opportunities for shelter residents while the work to make Dunsmuir House ready for occupancy takes place."
Last week the Province announced it would close the Howe Street shelter on August 7. The shelter was activated in December 2008 to provide Vancouver's homeless citizens with shelter during the extremely cold winter.
The Province is leasing the 166-unit Dunsmuir House, at the corner of Richards and Dunsmuir, to provide a significantly higher number of more stable and affordable housing units. The City of Vancouver will provide $500,000 for renovations to the building before it opens to residents in September.
"Thanks to the tremendous efforts of BC Housing, and RainCity Housing and Support Society, we are very pleased that about 35 shelter users accepted alternate housing arrangements and are now settling into those locations," Meggs said. "Several remaining shelter users opted to make their own arrangements.
"The shelter was not permitted to accept new users so given the successful identification and acceptance of housing options for the majority of existing shelter users, the closure of the Howe Street shelter was timely."
The shelter closed at 10 a.m. this morning.


- Wow, this was a hilarious Italian horror flick.
Give your brain a rest and enjoy the gorefest!
- This was ok italian horror flick directed by Lucio Fulci.
but there´s still some nice stuff to all 80s lovers.
Hot dancing babes, New York City streets and good upbeat soundtrack.
Keith Emerson (ELP) has created some very catchy tunes here.
- This was great, really scary stuff.
- This is a great little horror flick and it was about time to watch it again.
Good entertainment with nice old school special effects.

Buddy from Just One of the Guys is great as the main psycho kid. He is the most out of control.
who knew kids could be so smart when it comes to being serial killers.
Return of the living Dead Part 2 was the last one i watched. Some funny actors in it.
I hadn't seen it in a while, so I decided to view it afresh.
By the way, have you read the novel by Andrew Neiderman?
No i aint read that, is it worth looking up then??
Thought it was a lot better than i expected, the birth scene was a bit mental I was merely wondering if you had, that was all.
I have viewed Xtro as well and I remember the birth scene very well. I would watch Xtro once more if I could.
And just for the record, I haven't read the novel "Pin," but I wouldn't say no to it if I had the chance.
Sorry i thought you'd read it, i wouldnt mind reading it either. Probably hard to get hold of though. You can get XTRO 1+2 Special edition DVD of Amazon for pretty cheap.
The Keep (1983) I dont know whether it was cause i was tired at the time but found it really confusing.
If anyones seen this film is it worth watching again ???
it's extremely confusing, and bizarre, but i liked it for some reason.
plus i love the tangerine dream score and the endless fog that runs throughout the film.
If anyones seen this film is it worth watching again ??? It, too, is based on a novel by F. Paul Wilson. He disliked the film of it, calling it "visually intriguing but otherwise utterly incomprehensible."
If you would like to watch it again, hewzy, then go to Cyprus Corner's channel on YouTube. You can watch the film there.
Im gonna give it another go later then, See if im still as confused.
No worries, hewzy. I trust that you will enjoy it.
So how did the second viewing go, hewzy?
Yeah went good realy enjoyed it, but still found it confusing.
I aint been able to get that eerie music out my head since.

Armchair quarterbacks. If you can do better I suggest you go fill out an application.
It's been completely empty of any law enforcement since last night.
Homicide detectives have been secured to the scene??? There has not been one person here the entire morning! And why the hell would deputies ignore the chance to have state troopers come in faster? They could have saved his life! What selfish, self-obsessed idiots!!!
No it's not. People are just more informed because of social media. Ignorance was bliss!
