It states: "The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. "During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses."

Re: Peter the Roman conspiracy
Pope Francis tells gay man 'God made you like this and loves you like this'
PAPAL HEAL
The remarks were made to a victim of clerical sexual abuse and are the most striking acceptance of homosexuality by the Catholic Church to date
POPE Francis has told a gay man that God loves him during a private meeting, it has been claimed.
In a private dialogue, the Pontiff is understood to have told Juan Carlos Cruz, a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests, that God loves gay people and it is fine to be homosexual.
Juan Carlos Cruz is a key whistleblower in Chile's most famous case of clerical sex abuse
AP:Associated Press
The comments are the most striking public acceptance about homosexuality ever made by a head of the Roman Catholic Church.
The remarks were made during a private meeting at the Vatican between the pair, in which the Pope offered a heartfelt apology.
Cruz was a victim of Chile's most notorious paedophile priest Fernando Karadima.
Father Karadima, now aged 87, was found guilty of sexual abuse by the Vatican in 2011.
Chilean sexual abuse victims Jose Andres Murillo (R), James Hamilton (C) and Juan Carlos Cruz (L) in Rome
Cruz claims that his suffering was ignored by a number of Latin American bishops who used his homosexuality to brand him a liar when he spoke out.
Speaking to Spanish newspaper El País, Cruz said: "He [the Pope] told me, 'Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter.
"God made you like this and loves you like this and I don't care.
"The pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are."
The Pope's words signal a much more open and inclusive approach by the often restrictive faith – a move which will likely upset many conservative Catholics.
The Vatican has neither confirmed nor denied the comments the Pontiff's comments to Cruz.
This is not the first time Pope Francis' comments have suggested a more open and tolerant attitude toward homosexuality
The Catholic Church teaches that gay sex – and all sex outside of heterosexual marriage – is a sin.
This is not the first time Pope Francis' comments have suggested a more open and tolerant attitude toward homosexuality.
In July 2013, when responding to a reporter's question about the existence of an alleged "gay lobby" within the Vatican, Pope Francis said: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?"
The Pontiff's most recent remarks come as several high profile members of the clergy have sought to publicly make amends with gay Catholics, many of whom say they feel shunned an d unwelcome in the church.
It is the most striking public acceptance about homosexuality ever made by a Pontiff
Juan Carlos Cruz was one of three former sex abuse victims from Chile who were summoned to Rome to receive an apology from the Pontiff for years of abuse endured by them as children.
The victims described clerical sexual abuse as "an epidemic that has destroyed thousands of lives."

What might, and should, be different.
"[This book] contends that many modern management commonalities such as long hours, work-family conflict, and economic insecurity are toxic to employees--hurting engagement, increasing turnover, and destroying people's physical and emotional health--while also being inimical to company performance. He argues that human sustainability should be as important as environmental stewardship. You don't have to do a physically dangerous job to confront a health-destroying, possibly life-threatening workplace...[This book] marshals a vast trove of evidence and numerous examples from all over the world to expose the infuriating truth about modern work life: even as organizations allow management practices that actually sicken and kill their employees, those policies do not enhance productivity or the bottom line, thereby creating a lose-lose situation. Exploring a range of important topics, including layoffs, health insurance, work-family conflict, work hours, job autonomy, and why people remain in toxic environments, [the author] offers guidance and practical solutions that all of us--employees, employers, and the government--can use to enhance workplace well-being. We must wake up to the dangers and enormous costs to today's workplace...[This book] is a clarion call for a social movement focused on human sustainability. [The author] makes clear that the environment we work in is just as important as the one we live in, and with this urgent book he opens our eyes and shows how we can make our workplaces healthier and better."-- Dust jacket.
Should leaders tell the truth--and do they?
Trust : where did it go, and why?
Fixing leadership failure : you can handle the truth.
Finalist for the 2015 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Best business book of the week from Inc.com The author of Power, Stanford business school professor, and a leading management thinker offers a hard-hitting dissection of the leadership industry and ways to make workplaces and careers work better. The leadership enterprise is enormous, with billions of dollars, thousands of books, and hundreds of thousands of blogs and talks focused on improving leaders. But what we see worldwide is employee disengagement, high levels of leader turnover and career derailment, and failed leadership development efforts. In Leadership BS, Jeffrey Pfeffer shines a bright light on the leadership industry, showing why it's failing and how it might be remade. He sets the record straight on the oft-made prescriptions for leaders to be honest, authentic, and modest, tell the truth, build trust, and take care of others. By calling BS on so many of the stories and myths of leadership, he gives people a more scientific look at the evidence and better information to guide their careers. Rooted in social science, and will practical examples and advice for improving management, Leadership BS encourages readers to accept the truth and then use facts to change themselves and the world for the better.
Trust: where did it go, and why?
Fixing leadership failure: you can handle the truth.
"'The leadership industry has failed,' charges Stanford Business School professor Pfeffer in this lively critique of a professional discipline driven, according to him, not by wisdom or a desire to foster leadership, but by money. Its precepts, he writes, are 'based more on hope than reality, on wishes rather than data, on beliefs instead of science.' Pfeffer sets out to help his readers rethink leadership by focusing on the root causes of failures in business leadership. Pfeffer counsels readers to look away from the 'inspiration and fables' that glut the market, and to accept that some of those truisms are fallible: authenticity can be overrated, and honesty is not always the best policy for leaders. Pfeffer has taken on an ambitious project, given the uniformity of current thinking on business success, but his bluntness should go a long way toward slaughtering the sacred cows of the leadership industry." --Publishers Weekly.

"People acquire ways of thinking about time partly in and from work organizations, where the control and measurement of time use is a prominent feature of modern management - an inevitable consequence of employees selling their time for money. In this paper, we theorize about the role organizational practices play in promoting an economic evaluation of time and time use - where time is thought of primarily in monetary terms and viewed as a scarce resource that should be used as efficiently as possible. While people usually make decisions about time and money differently, we argue that management practices that make the connection between time and money salient can heighten the economic evaluation of time. We consider both the organizational causes of economic evaluation as well as its personal and societal consequences." Abstract provided by authors.

Asaram aides fail to appear before cops
Jaipur: Three aides of Asaram Bapu failed to appear till late Thursday evening before Rajasthan Police for questioning in connection with a sexual assault case filed against the spiritual guru by a 16-year-old girl, an
IANS Updated on: August 29, 2013 23:20 IST
Jaipur: Three aides of Asaram Bapu failed to appear till late Thursday evening before Rajasthan Police for questioning in connection with a sexual assault case filed against the spiritual guru by a 16-year-old girl, an official said.
The girl had made a complaint at a police station in Delhi Aug 20, accusing Asaram Bapu of sexually assaulting her at his ashram in Rajasthan's Jodhpur city. The spiritual leader has denied the allegation.
The girl studied at Asaram's ashram in Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara and stayed in a girls' hostel there.
Police had summoned hostel warden Shilpi, hostel attendant Keshav and Asaram Bapu's caretaker Shiva for questioning Thursday.
"Shilpi and Keshav had scared the girls' parents that she was possessed by an evil spirit and they should take her to Asaram Bapu for some religious rituals," a police officer said.
"The girl's parents took her to Jodhpur ashram where Asaram Bapu is accused of sexually assaulting her. Shiva was outside the room when she was assault. So we need to interrogate him," a police officer said.
The officer said that the three aides of the spiritual guru were to appear for questioning Thursday as per the notices issued by investigators.
"They didn't turn up. We will now send a team to Madhya Pradesh and other places for further investigation," said the officer late in the evening.
The officer said the plea of Asaram Bapu that he be granted more time to appear for questioning had been turned down.
"Asaram Bapu will now have to appear for questioning tomorrow (Friday). If he fails to comply with the orders, he may be arrested," said the officer.
Asaram Bapu was Tuesday served notice at his ashram in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, asking him to appear before police in Jodhpur for questioning before or on Aug 30.
A police official told IANS that the spiritual guru had sought time till Sep 20, saying he will participate in several spiritual functions and give discourses over this period.
"The reprieve cannot be granted on the reasons cited by Asaram Bapu. He is facing a serious charge of sexual assault on a minor girl," said the official.
A notice was also served Monday at Asaram Bapu's ashram in Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
Asaram Bapu has been booked under various sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Indian Penal Code.
Rajasthan Police Tuesday also initiated formalities to get a look-out circular issued against the spiritual guru to prevent any attempt by him to leave the country.
A police official in Jodhpur said a letter had been sent to the immigration department in New Delhi to get the look-out circular issued against Asaram Bapu.
A police team also inspected the spiritual guru's ashram near Jodhpur and recorded statements of several people to verify whether the girl and her parents were present at the ashram Aug 15 when the alleged incident took place.
"During preliminary investigation, it has come up that the girl and her parents and Asaram Bapu were present on Aug 15. The owner of the land, which is being used for the ashram, told police that the girl and her parents had come to the ashram to meet him," said the official.

Harvey Debris Dump Site in Low-Income Port Arthur Neighborhood
Port Arthur, Texas–Normally, Debris Management Sites (DMS) are planned in areas where they will cause the least harm to the health and safety of those living in the area. Lone Star Legal Aid's Environmental Justice Unit is raising community concerns with the City of Port Arthur's decision to locate a "temporary" storm DMS near a low-income minority neighborhood. Why this neighborhood?
The EPA requires that all DMS be located in areas away from heavy traffic, they cannot disrupt local business, and they cannot cause harm to schools or neighborhoods. When a DMS is located in a heavy traffic area, disrupting local businesses, or causing harm to schools or neighborhoods who's populations happen to be predominantly of low-income or minorities, it is not only more egregious, it violates an executive order. "Executive Order 12898 (1994) requires federal agencies (or any local government or governmental agency in receipt of federal funding from a source such as FEMA) to evaluate its actions for disproportionately high and adverse effects on minority or low-income populations and to find ways to avoid or minimize these adverse impacts where possible."
The local authorities informed the community that this DMS would be temporary, but it has been operating for over a month now. LSLA EJ attorney Amy Dinn says, "The community is concerned about the short-term and long-term health and environmental impacts on the residential neighborhood immediately adjacent to the site." Amy has begun correspondence with the mayor of Port Arthur regarding the many issues this DMS faces. Has the City of Port Arthur complied with all TECQ and EPA rules, regulations, and guidelines?
LSLA attorneys have demanded that the City of Port Arthur close the DMS as soon as possible to avoid any further possibility of harm to the neighboring residential area. Residents recall that during the area's last memorable storms, Ike and Rita, other locations were used as DMS; locations that would be an improvement to the current one. There are over 170 temporary DMS as a result of Hurricane Harvey's devastation, many of which are in LSLA's service area. Harvey affected area residents who are concerned about something like this popping up in their neighborhood can call Lone Star Legal Aid to apply for legal assistance.
Lone Star Legal Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit law firm focused on advocacy on behalf of low-income and underserved populations. Lone Star Legal Aid serves the millions of people at 125% of federal poverty guidelines that reside in 72 counties in the eastern and Gulf Coast regions of Texas, and also 4 counties of southwest Arkansas. Lone Star Legal Aid focuses its resources on maintaining, enhancing, and protecting income and economic stability; preserving housing; improving outcomes for children; establishing and sustaining family safety and stability, health and well‐being; and assisting populations with special vulnerabilities, such as those who have disabilities, or who are elderly, homeless, or have limited English language skills.

Obituary of Betty Hidlebaugh
Please share a memory of Betty to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Betty was born near Kelliher, SK., where she spent her cherished childhood years. She was predeceased by her father, James; mother, Mary Jane (nee Boyd) Leslie; sister Eileen (Joe Dunlop) and brothers, Willie and Andy Leslie.
Betty's husband, and lifelong companion Wilf, passed away peacefully in April 2012, at the age of 95, in Oliver, British Columbia. She was also predeceased by her father-in-law Jay Hidlebaugh (1st Rachel, 2nd Sarah); brothers and sisters-in-law Mel Hidlebaugh (1st Denise, 2nd Doris). Art Hidlebaugh (Nene), Marion (nee Hidlebaugh) (1st Harvey Goodin, 2nd Bill Dodman), Dave Hidlebaugh (Denise), and Lola Hidlebaugh.
Betty is survived by her four children Murray (Jeanette) Hidlebaugh of Saskatoon, Janet (Norm d. 2020) Debienne of Victoria, B.C., Patricia (Gene) Kessler of Pangman, and Barbara (Philip) Yardy of London, UK; seven grandchildren, Brad and Rod Hidlebaugh (Murray, Jeanette), Greg and Chantelle Debienne (Janet, Norm), Ken, Heidi, and Dave Kessler (Pat, Gene); and by her thirteen great-grandchildren, Ben and Kate Hidlebaugh, William, Amelia, and Spencer Hidlebaugh, Elley Debienne, Emrys and Cohen Burrell, Kadan and Hannah Kessler, Ella and Adalyn Kessler-Holderness, and Calissa Kessler-McCall. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews who have been actively involved in her life for years, all of whom she loved dearly.
Betty excelled in academics and athletics. The Great Depression made it difficult to continue post-secondary education, but she attended Normal School in Saskatoon at a young age. Her first teaching position was at Blue Fox School, where she met Wilf. They married when he returned from WWII. They reared their family on a farm near Choiceland. Betty returned to teaching from 1959-1975 at Choiceland. She started teaching at the elementary school and then moved to the high school. Betty was a beloved teacher, committed to giving her students the best possible education and experiences. Her pupils fondly remember her involvement in extracurricular activities like drama, library, sports, art, and yearbook, to name just a few.
When Wilf and Betty retired, they travelled throughout Canada and United States, finally settling in Oliver, B.C., where they enthusiastically embraced new friends and activities for 38 years. Following Wilf's death, Betty returned to Saskatchewan – home.
Betty passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, in Bengough Care Home at the age of 107. She will be remembered by all who knew her as a strong, dedicated woman. Her warm spirit will live on through many lives. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. The family plans to honour Betty's life at the Choiceland Town Hall on July 29, 2023, where we hope to share memories with family, friends and students.

Forest Park was an at-grade station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving as the former western terminus of the Lake Street Elevated.

History

The station was opened in 1910 as part of an extension of the Lake Street "L" into the Chicago & North Western Railroad's Forest Park yard. The adjacent Marion station had served as the terminal of the line since 1901. Passenger service was initially operated with a single track, but was expanded to two tracks by 1946. In 1962, the at-grade stations of the Lake Street "L" were moved onto the abandoned C&NW embankment, as the local stations had been abandoned since 1958. The elevation prompted the merger of the Forest Park station and the adjacent Marion station into the current Harlem/Lake station.

"Mind games" refers to psychological chicanery, purposely manipulating other people by playing on their fears, hopes, or misunderstandings.
"Mind Games" is the name of numerous unconnected tabletop game stores around the world, including Utah, New York, North Carolina, Victoria AU, and across Ontario CA.
"Mind Games" is the name of the yearly MENSA game awards.
The "World Mind Sports Games" refers to the board and card game competitions at the Olympics, the first of which happened in China last year, immediately following the traditional sports Olympics.
And, in the same vein, "Mind Games" refers to new tabletop game competitions, typically featuring classic board games and local popular traditional games, such as The Western Cape Mind Games in South Africa, and the Bahamas Mind Games, set to begin in a few days.

Asahi Shimbun Digital: Akira Toriyama Interview
Asahi Shimbun Digital
Akira Toriyama Interview
"The Creator Shows Some Spine" with the New Movie ― Akira Toriyama-san Exclusive Interview
(Arrangement: Tetsuo Iwamoto) Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball, manga and anime that define Japanese pop culture, accepted a written interview with the Asahi Shimbun. The new movie, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, opened on the 30th, and an exhibition of his work in commemoration of it is already underway. In the Digitial Edition, we are making available all the questions from the written interview. (Parts of the correspondence that reveal contents of the film have not been included.)
■ Becoming Involved For the First Time in a Long While
In the latest movie, Toriyama-san, you participated in the production from the scriptwriting stage for the first time. What is the reason for that? Was there anything you noticed in coming face-to-face with the work after so long?
I was told about a project for Dragon Ball in its first animated film in a long while, and I read the story outline; while the beings "Beerus, God of Destruction" and "Super Saiyan God" (which goes above Super Saiyan) were interesting, the themes were heavy, and I felt that the world was a bit different from Dragon Ball. Rather than telling them about this or that problematic spot, I thought it would be faster if I just wrote it out concretely, and while I had intended just to give them a model―"for example"―my hand wouldn't stop, and ultimately, I ended up writing almost everything, including the dialogue. I am reflecting on the fact that I did something terribly rude to the scriptwriter.
The serialization (in Weekly Shōnen Jump) was quite a while ago, so there were quite a few parts I'd forgotten, but as I flipped through the pages of my own manga that I hardly ever read, I was immediately able to get back its feeling, as you'd expect of the original creator.
Also, at the time of the Hollywood movie, the live-action Dragon Ball, the script had too little of a grasp on the world and its characteristics, and on top of that, it had a conventional content that I couldn't find interesting, so I cautioned them, and suggested changes; but in spite of that, they seemed to have a strange confidence, and didn't really listen to me. What came out in the end was a movie I couldn't really call a Dragon Ball that lived up to my expectations.1
That being the case, there were parts where I wanted to show some spine, with a world and story only the creator could draw.
What areas did you expand from the suggestions on Beerus's concept, having an aspect of greed with regards to food, and his cat-like visuals? What is the origin of Beerus's name?
Beerus, God of Destruction, was in the story outline I was shown in the beginning, but things like the character concept, I ended up completely changing. With his being greedy with food, as well, I was aiming for the amusing gap with this fearsome being called the God of Destruction. As for his visuals, when I was thinking of a pattern for an enemy I hadn't drawn in the past, the family cat caught my eye, and I thought I'd go with that. (It is a breed called a Cornish Rex; a bit of a rare cat, which is not popular in Japan.)
The name Beerus, I used as-is from the story outline. Anyway, it's apparently a name that was taken from "virus", but I mistakenly thought it came from "beer", and gave his attendant the name "Whis", which I took from "whiskey". (Shueisha gives a supplemental explanation that officially, "Beers" comes from "beer", and "Whis" from "whiskey".)
He fights against ever-stronger opponents, so I imagine it becomes difficult to express the battles. In what way you come up with devices to show that he was fighting the "mightiest foe"?
I've drawn all sorts of battle scenes before, so to be honest, I had already nearly run out of patterns to use.
This time, it was mainly expressing the sentiment of "god vs. god" while they land heavy blows on each other, but the other battle scenes overflowing with a sense of speed, I left up to the anime staff. I admired how, thanks to them, it's one wonderful battle scene after another: "Just as I expected from them!"
You made some comedic scenes where you have minor villains Pilaf & co. appear; how did you come up with a balance between laughs and fierce battles? Do you pay attention to the difference between comedy and battle in making a work "entertaining"?
I believe that, when you combine comedy and serious battles, both of them might come alive even more. As for me personally, though, I much prefer drawing dumb jokes to battle scenes.
■ I made the manga like this
Toriyama-san, it seems that you don't think that your manga is imbued with much of a message; why is that?
I believe the mission of my manga is to be entertainment exclusively. I even feel that as long as I can allow [the reader] to have an enjoyable time once, I don't mind if nothing remains, so I've never deliberately drawn it with the intention of sending a message.
Messages and moving scenes are things that other manga artists already draw.
I saw in a past interview that you said you enjoyed the part in the Dragon Ball serialization around where Piccolo Daimaō appears. Why is that? In looking back once again, what was the most enjoyable point in the serialization?
The reason I enjoyed drawing Piccolo Daimaō was because up until then, there were parts where I'd dragged in a bit of gag manga, and even though there were bad guys, they still had a humorous aspect to them somewhere. I had never drawn someone so evil before, so it felt very fresh.
I feel that, from this point on, the direction of the Dragon Ball manga was set.
The serialization was an epic that spanned a period of over 10 years; was there any sort of rules that you'd decided upon in drawing it?
It's not something I'd go so far as to call a rule, but deadlines alone were something I absolutely kept. That's because previously, when I was working as a designer at small advertising agency2, I saw and experienced firsthand just how many people it would cause trouble for if I went even a little bit over the deadline.
Was it because you thought it was more appropriate for shōnen manga that the emphasis shifted from the initial Journey to the West-style adventure story to battles at [events] such as the Tenka'ichi Budōkai?
While I was able to take the plot developments wherever I saw fit with an adventure-story, on the other hand, it didn't have a lick of popularity. In spite, I shifted the focus to fighting, [thinking] "This is the kind of manga you're all waiting for, right?" and as soon as I did that, it immediately became popular. That operation was too successful, and I remember being surprised myself.
With huge foes the likes of Freeza and Majin Boo before him, Goku trains and trains, and gets stronger. [In Dragon Ball], both physical growth and the passage of time are depicted, but "human drama", such as romance, doesn't come up very much. Do you have some sort of policy about that area? Did you think it wasn't a match [for you / the story]?
That's simply because I'm not good with expressing romance. Likewise, I can't draw a kind and gentle girl. Also, this is often misunderstood, but I'm not good with wholesome content. It may seem wholesome at first glance, but there's actually poison inside.
Early on, there were depictions of risqué content, such as in the interaction between Kame-Sen'nin and Bulma, but as the tale went on, I feel as though the sense of seriousness increased (the comical parts became fewer and farther between). Did you have a change of heart or anything while you continued the serialization?
This, too, is purely because, with the developments in the story, there was no longer a place for drawing risqué things.
However, stupid gags, at least, I would continue to squeeze into gaps in the fighting. To the point that I was patiently drawing the battle scenes for the sake of these little gags.
Where did you get the idea for sound effects that protrude outside the edges of the manga's panels?
This isn't particularly something I did deliberately; it's just sort of to express that the sound is that forceful. I hadn't read much (other) manga, so I don't really know, but I think it's probably a technique that already existed beforehand?
In order to show the movements of the fight, you made effective use of cuts between near and far. What sort of merits does that effect have?
If I drew nothing but close-ups, it would become difficult to understand what they were doing and where. So not only in the battles, but in general, I deliberately drew it so that, as often as possible, I could get at least one panel on a page that was a wide shot. Also, by depicting variation in size, it brings the power of the close-ups to life.
You have not only only artificial humans, but also many animal-like characters. How did you use them differently when you made them into humans or animals?
It would be boring if I just drew humans all the time, and it's a quick-and-easy way of expressing a fantastical setting, so I often drew them to vary the characters, but in cases where they didn't fit with serious scenes, I don't think I drew them very much.
I've loved animals since I was a child, and I enjoy drawing them, too. To to the point that, since I don't like socializing, I have more animals than friends.
What about the drive that enabled you to continue the serialization for so long?
That's truly because of the response from everyone who enjoyed reading it, and because it was worth doing. That's not just lip service; I really mean it.
By its very nature, manga is something where you have to draw a lot of similar illustrations. So for a fickle person like me, while it was fun in terms of expression, a lot of parts were rough, and there were many times that I wanted it to end soon.
For that reason, I've since lost any trace of the will to do a weekly serial, and it's now all that I can do just to occasionally draw a short-term serial or one-shot manga.
What sort of presence does Dragon Ball have for you, Toriyama-san? What differences are there in comparison to your other works, such as Dr. Slump?
I suppose this manga was something of a miracle, in the fact that I, with my perverted and irritating personality, was able to do respectable work and have it be accepted by the public. The manga artist Masakazu Katsura, a close friend of mine who I've known since way back, is always saying this.
■ Considering its spread around the world
Both the tankōbon and the anime of Dragon Ball are famous around the world, and are loved across generations and borders. Is it because things such as Asian-style Kung-Fu, "Qi" culture, and its similarity to Journey to the West, were seen as exotic in the West, or were other elements more important [to its success]? What do you see as the reason for its being a hit?
I honestly have no idea why this is. During the serialization, I just kept drawing with the sole purpose of making Japanese boys happy.
After Dragon Ball, other Japanese manga and anime have penetrated the wider world. How do you see the spread of Japanese works around the globe? Where do you believe the strength of "Japanese manga and anime" lies?
Manga is a world where connections and large sums of money get you nowhere, and you compete solely on your abilities. I believe the works of various genres that have been accepted by the discerning eyes of Japan's manga and anime fans are at an extremely high level as works of entertainment for the masses. The fact that those chosen works are being enjoyed all over the world may, in a sense, be only natural.
Neither conscious of the wider world, nor intending to make lots of money, their authors cut down on sleep and stake their lives on creating, simply because they are dead-set on giving people enjoyment. I suppose that pureness is probably their strength.
The following translator notes are included for the benefit of the reader as supplemental information.
1 This could alternatively be read as: "What came out in the end was, sure enough, a movie that I couldn't really call Dragon Ball."
2 Incidentally, his work in the advertising industry is where Toriyama pulled the "lingerie / foundation" pun for Lan-Fan, the female competitor during the 21st Tenka'ichi Budōkai.

Keep in mind that the floor for medical expenses in 2017 is 10% of adjusted gross income (AGI) for all taxpayers.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the annual inflation adjustments for a number of provisions for the year 2017, including tax rate schedules, tax tables, and cost-of-living adjustments for certain tax items.
These are the applicable numbers for the tax year 2017 - in other words, effective January 1, 2017. They are NOT the numbers and tax rates that you'll use to prepare your 2016 tax returns in 2017 (you'll find them here). Rather, these numbers and tax rates are those you'll use to prepare your 2017 tax returns in 2018.
If you aren't expecting any significant changes, you can use the updated tax tables to estimate your liability for the 2017 tax year. If, however, you are expecting to make more money, get married, buy a house, have a baby or other life change, you'll want to consider adjusting your withholding or tweaking your estimated tax payments.
You can compare these numbers against the 2016 brackets here.
For 2017, the standard deduction for a taxpayer who can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer cannot exceed the greater of (a) $1,050 or (b) $350 + the dependent's earned income.
Pease limitations apply to charitable donations, the home mortgage interest deduction, state and local tax deductions and miscellaneous itemized deductions. They do not apply to medical expenses, investment expenses, gambling losses, and certain theft and casualty losses.
Keep in mind that the floor for medical expenses in 2017 is 10% of adjusted gross income (AGI) for all taxpayers. Taxpayers over the age of 65 could use the 7.5% floor through 2016: in 2017, the favored tax rate disappears and all taxpayers are subject to the 10% floor.
The kiddie tax applies to unearned income for children under the age of 19 and college students under the age of 24. For 2017, the threshold for the kiddie tax - meaning the amount of unearned net income that a child can take home without paying any federal income tax - is $1,050. All unearned income in excess of $2,100 is taxed at the parent's tax rate.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). For 2017, the maximum EITC amount available is $6,318 for taxpayers filing jointly who have 3 or more qualifying children. The revenue procedure has a table providing maximum credit amounts for other categories, income thresholds, and phase-outs.

Transportation and Parking Benefits. For 2017, the monthly limitation for the qualified transportation fringe benefit is $255 for transportation in a commuter highway vehicle or any transit pass, as well as qualified parking.
Medical Savings Accounts. For 2017, the term "high deductible health plan" means, for participants who have self-only coverage in a Medical Savings Account, an annual deductible that is not less than $2,250 but not more than $3,350. For self-only coverage, the maximum out of pocket expense amount is $4,500. For 2017, the term "high deductible health plan" means, for participants with family coverage, an annual deductible that is not less than $4,500 but not more than $6,700.

I recently wrote an article for the Gilbert Republic about how the rural feel of the city is quickly disappearing. I talked about missing photo opportunities that I have regretted. First it was the potato farm on Pecos and Power; the buildings disappeared shortly after I moved from Scottsdale. For weeks I intended to get my camera into the car and suddenly, the opportunity was gone. My article was primarily about the recent disappearance of the dairy on the SE corner of Germann and Greenfield Roads. And in my article I wrote about the dilapidated wood structure on Queen Creek Rd, and Greenfield – the one with the American flag painted on the roof. Today I am getting my camera in the car with me and I am going to stop and take a photo. I've waited for an early weekend morning with no cars to distract from the image. Now I'm simply determined to get anything I can onto "film" before it, too, is gone.
This morning I watched the most recent updates on Hurricane Irene and its impact on Vermont. Depending on which source you read, one or up to five, of their famous historical covered bridges collapsed this weekend. They will never "be" again. They are gone. You can't re-build an historic structure. You can replace it but it cannot be duplicated. I was always going to make a fall trip back east for the gorgeous autumn foliage. And I always wanted to cross those bridges. They were our history, part of our country, part of who we are as Americans.
I was in Europe in March, and I stood and did my tourist-gawking at buildings from the 1600's, even back to the 1400's. Europeans treasure their history. They shore up their buildings; they restore and repaint and replenish cathedrals, palaces, government buildings, bridges, and towers. It sometimes takes them years to complete these projects. But Europeans believe in maintaining their past, no matter the cost or time.
I recently heard a news report about how little history our current teens know today. Simple things like: What was President Lincoln known for? What are the branches of government? Which came first, the Civil War or the Revolutionary War? Their answers were astounding and so far off base, it made me shake my head. What happened, I asked. How can that be? I realize there is fifty more years of history now than there was when I studied it. But honestly, Ben Franklin, the Civil War, the houses of Congress??
I thought perhaps I'd blame it on technology. These kids have had to learn so much in such a short time. Technology changes daily; they must keep up with the latest gadgets, the latest and fastest applications, the global economy and world we live in. It is different. But I wonder. I'm going to Google European teens and their knowledge of history some time today. Surely they are not as ill informed as our U.S. students.
Surely with the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Parliament buildings, Versailles, Hampton Court, the Louvre, the canals of Venice, the Parthenon, the Coliseum in Rome. Surely with all that staring them in the face, European students must know history. They seem to treasure it, respect it, realize that the world they live in today is based on all of their past. Each art museum we entered last spring was packed with students of all ages, from primary grades through high school. Versailles and Hampton Court were the same. Large herds of little ones meeting King Henry outside the gates of the palace.
I wanted to come home and shake those surveyed students; wanted to reprimand the adults who think that art and history are unimportant and who fail to support the education of those very students.
And…. On a personal note, I will also tell myself to stop sitting on my behind, get that camera in the car and take the time to see the remaining bridges of Vermont.

Lindsey Graham Wants to 'Sanction the Hell Out of Saudi Arabia' Until Crown Prince Is Ousted
South Carolina senator has no doubts about murder of Jamal Khashoggi
Sen. Lindsey Graham golfed with President Donald Trump on Sunday. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call file photo)
By Niels Lesniewski
Sen. Lindsey Graham plans to "sanction the hell out of Saudi Arabia" in the aftermath of the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
"You know, we deal with bad people all the time, but this is in our face. I feel personally offended. They have nothing but contempt for us," the South Carolina Republican said Tuesday morning. "Why would you put a guy like me and the president in this box?"
Trump had said Monday he heard from the Saudis that there was a possibility the journalist was murdered by "rogue killers" while inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul.
Speaking on Fox & Friends, Graham said he had repeatedly gone to the Senate floor to defend Saudi Arabia when the kingdom has been criticized, but he said won't be doing business with Saudi Arabia until Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is ousted.
"Nothing happens in Saudi Arabia without MBS knowing it," Graham said. "I can never do business with Saudi Arabia again until we get this behind us."
Graham is among numerous lawmakers, Republicans and Democrats, who have called for some sort of punishment for Riyadh.
Graham made his comments while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was traveling to Saudi Arabia at the request of President Donald Trump, and he is the chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee that funds the State Department and U.S. foreign aid programs. He is also a senior member of the Armed Services Committee and has been a frequent visitor to the Middle East.
"I'm not going back to Saudi Arabia as long as this guy's in charge," Graham said. "This guy is a wrecking ball. He had this guy murdered in a consulate in Turkey, and to expect me to ignore it? I feel used and abused. I was on the floor every time defending Saudi Arabia cause there's a good ally."
"The MBS figure is to me toxic. He can never be a world leader on the world stage," he said. "Saudi Arabia, if you're listening: There's a lot of good people you could choose, but MBS has tainted your country and tainted himself."

Scene: The Badhman's
Lizzie and Hannah were putting the gifts under the Christmas tree. "Great using online Christmas shopping" suggested Lizzie to Hannah. "They deliver and wrap for you" she said happily. Hannah gave a weak smile. She was looking over and looking at the wine. "I think we could do with some drink," she said.
"I don't know if that is such a good idea," added Lizzie.
"Come on its Christmas" replied Hannah. Lizzie nodded. Hannah went over to get the glasses and Eddie arrived excitedly. "Guess what!"
"I just got a telephone call and Chantal is coming down" they smiled.
Scene: The Robinson's
Joyce Robinson and Jasmine Harris were in the kitchen preparing the turkey. "You got to stop worrying, he is just trying to fit in" said Jasmine. "But I know what he is like dear and trust me he is not the kind of man you should be getting involved with" she said.
"or do you have some unfinished business with him that has taken aback" said Jasmine. Joyce stopped.
"Okay stop right there" said Joyce. "He is trouble with a capital T" said Joyce. Adele walked in "want any help" she called.
"You can stuff the turkey," said Jasmine. "What's wrong with you?" Said Jasmine. "Mickey" said Adele.
"I told you don't go causing trouble," said Joyce.
"What and you believe that it wasn't him who sent him that package they hate each other's guts mum" said Adele.
"But you do not have to go and get involved just keep out of it" said Joyce.
"He's going to be my husband and we are all going to live under the same roof," said Adele.
Scene: The Club
In the office passion had turned. Max could not help himself and dived into Martha Robinson as they both embraced in a passionate kiss on the office table. Martha unbuttoned his shirt as he nuzzled onto her neck. "I can't keep doing this" as he kissed her passionately.
Outside the car park, Hannah, Eddie and Lizzie got out of the car. "Right lets party on" they said. They walked over and as they were going towards the entrance of the bar, Hannah spotted the light open in the office area. "Guys take my pass," she said as she threw it across to them. "I be in there in a minute" They wandered on and Hannah walked over to the back way. She then looked through the window and noticed Martha and Max spread on the table.
"Carly!" Shouted Suzanne. "Darling please" she said.
"Please don't do this!" Carly continued to put presents under the tree. "Is it my fault that this happened? All these years I thought the boy I raised was my own!"
"I'm not interested mum and neither should you!"
Arthur Mitchell walked into the room. "Sweetheart there is someone here to see you" said Arthur.

Free Shooting Range Business Plan For Raising Capital from Investors, Banks, or Grant Companies!
The purpose of this business plan is to raise $100,000 for the development of a shooting range while showcasing the expected financials and operations over the next three years. Shooting Range, Inc. ("the Company") is a New York based corporation that will provide shooting range and gun storage services to customers in its targeted market. The Company was founded by John Doe.
The primary revenue center for the Company will come from the ongoing usage of the Company's licensed shooting range. The business is in the process of acquiring all of the appropriate licensure so that the business can allow customers to use firearms on the Shooting Range's premises. The business will also generate secondary revenues from the sale of ammunition and storage of firearms. The third section of the business plan will further describe the services offered by the Shooting Range.
Mr. Doe is seeking to raise $100,000 from as a bank loan. The interest rate and loan agreement are to be further discussed during negotiation. This business plan assumes that the business will receive a 10 year loan with a 9% fixed interest rate. The financing will be used for the following: •	Development of the Company's Shooting Range location. •	Financing for the first six months of operation. •	Capital to purchase shooting range equipment. Mr. Doe will contribute $10,000 to the venture.
Shooting Range's mission is to become the recognized leader in its targeted market for shooting range, gun storage, and ammunition sale services.
The Company was founded by John Doe. Mr. Doe has more than 10 years of experience in the firearms retailing industry. Through his expertise, he will be able to bring the operations of the business to profitability within its first year of operations.
The Founder expects that the business will aggressively expand during the first three years of operation. Mr. Doe intends to implement marketing campaigns that will effectively target individuals, police officers, and gun clubs within the target market.
Shooting Range, Inc. The Company is registered as a corporation in the State of New York.
At this time, the Shooting Range requires $100,000 of debt funds. Below is a breakdown of how these funds will be used:
John Doe owns 100% of the Shooting Range, Inc.
If the business is very successful, Mr. Doe may seek to sell the business to a third party for a significant earnings multiple. Most likely, the Company will hire a qualified business broker to sell the business on behalf of the Shooting Range. Based on historical numbers, the business could fetch a sales premium of up to 4 times earnings.
Below is a description of the services offered by the Shooting Range.
3.1 Shooting Range Services
As stated in the executive summary, the primary revenue center for the business will come from the ongoing usage of the Company's licensed firearms and shooting range facilities. The business intends to have eight to ten booths where individuals can fire rounds of ammunition safely towards targets placed on the range. The range will be outdoor based. The business will have specialized equipment that will allow users to have the targets come back to them mechanically. The business will comply with all federal and state firearms laws at all times. No sales of firearms will be made at the Shooting Range.
3.2 Sales of Ammunition and Storage of Firearms
The business will also earn secondary revenues from the ongoing sale of ammunition to customers. Additional revenues will come from the storage of firearms at the Shooting Range facility.
This section of the analysis will detail the economic climate, the shooting range industry, the customer profile, and the competition that the business will face as it progresses through its business operations. Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is moderate. The meltdown of the sub prime mortgage market coupled with increasing gas prices has led many people to believe that the US is on the cusp of a double drip economic recession. This slowdown in the economy has also greatly impacted real estate sales, which has halted to historical lows. However, this should have little impact on the Shooting Range's ability to remain profitable as the revenues for the business provide very high margin cash flows for the business.
Within the United States, there are approximately 1,400 shooting ranges operating within all fifty states. Annually, these businesses generate approximately $900 million of revenues while employing 25,000 people. Annual payrolls in each of the last five years has exceeded $300 million. The anticipated future growth rate of the shooting range industry is expected to remain in line with that of the general economy.
The Shooting Range's average client will be a middle to upper middle class man or woman living in the Company's target market. Common traits among clients will include: •	Annual household income exceeding $50,000 •	Lives or works no more than 15 miles from the Company's location. •	Will spend $20 per visit to the Shooting Range. •	Is licensed to own/carry a firearm.
The Shooting Range intends to maintain an extensive marketing campaign that will ensure maximum visibility for the business in its targeted market. Below is an overview of the marketing strategies and objectives of the Shooting Range.
•	Establish relationships with local gun clubs and with law enforcement professionals.
•	Implement a local campaign with the Company's targeted market via the use of flyers, local newspaper advertisements, and word of mouth.
Mr. Doe intends on using a number of marketing strategies that will allow Shooting Range to easily target men and women within the target market. These strategies include traditional print advertisements and ads placed on search engines on the Internet. Below is a description of how the business intends to market its services to the general public. The Shooting Range will also use an internet based strategy. This is very important as many people seeking local services, such as shooting ranges and gun clubs, now the Internet to conduct their preliminary searches. Mr. Doe will register the Shooting Range with online portals so that potential customers can easily reach the business. The Company will also develop its own online website. The Shooting Range will also work closely with local gun clubs, police officers, and law enforcement organizations in order to drive additional customer traffic to the Shooting Range.
•	The Shooting Range will have an annual revenue growth rate of 16% per year.
In the event of an economic downturn, the business may have a decline in its revenues. However, the pricing point for the Company's shooting range services, gun storage services, and sales of ammunition is low. As such, the Shooting Range will be able to remain profitable and cash flow positive in any economic climate.
