This page is for the first series of Toaru Majutsu no Index. Click here for the sequel series and side stories.
NOTICE: Yen Press has licensed the first series of 'Toaru Majutsu no Index'.
Toaru Majutsu no Index is set in Academy City; a technologically advanced academic city located in western Tokyo which studies scientifically enhanced superhuman students known as espers who develop powers. However, within this world of scientifically developed superpowers exists an underground world of magic and occult connected to the religious institutions of the world.
Kamijou Touma, an unlucky boy who happens to be one of the many students within Academy City, possesses a mysterious power in his right hand known as the 'Imagine Breaker'; an ability which allows him to negate all forms of supernatural powers, whether they are magical or psychic. One day, he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the Anglican Church, and her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum: 103,000 original grimoires that the Church has removed from circulation. Their encounter leads him to meet others from the secretive worlds of science and magic.
Kamijou Touma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts related to both science-based espers in Academy City and magicians. As Kamijou Touma tries to help and protect his friends, he learns that the people he knows are not as they appear and begins to attract the attention of magicians and espers alike as they try to unravel the secrets of Academy City and Index.
The primary male protagonist of the series. Despite being classified as a Level 0 esper, his right hand possesses the uncanny ability to negate all forms of supernatural phenomena upon contact including magic, esper powers and - much to his chagrin - his own good luck. Touma is the type that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit around upon seeing someone in a pinch and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person. This he does at great risk to himself, which typically results in him being hospitalized. While he is an idealist for the hopes of other people, ironically he is cynical about himself possibly because of his powers.
The titular main heroine of the series. Due to her possessing a perfect memory, her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum: 103,000 grimoires that have been removed from circulation. As such she holds a vast amount of magical knowledge that if properly used would allow her reach the realm of a magic god. Despite this, Index is unable to cast any magic herself; however she can use the grimoires' knowledge to analyze spells and protect herself from enemy magicians. She is an enormous glutton who despite having great knowledge of history and culture, is completely clueless about science and technology.
The second main heroine of the series. As Academy City's strongest Electromaster, she can generate up to 1 billion volts of electricity, enough to cause city wide blackouts. She gains her ability name from using her ability to quickly accelerate small arcade coins to Mach speeds, resulting in a makeshift railgun. Despite displaying an image of being a refined lady from the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School, in reality she's short-tempered, prideful, and has an improper attitude with some slight tomboyish tendencies and insecurities. Even so, she is generally friendly and easygoing and doesn't look down on lower-level espers at all.
A formidable magician from Necessarius wearing a black priest's attire who reports directly to the Archbishop. He specializes in flame and runic magic which he uses in conjunction with specially made rune cards to distribute his magic power. With it he can create flame swords to use as a weapon and mirages to confuse the opponent. His greatest spell is Innocentius: a self-regenerating fire monster clad in 3000°C flames. Despite appearing to be an adult with a short temper, he is a tall teenager that hides his kind heart. A former partner of Index; he fights to protect her from any harm.
The second male protagonist of the series. He is Academy City's strongest esper with the ability to manipulate the vectors of anything that he touches. In the past, he was involved in a great incident due to his powers which left him greatly distrustful of all those around him. His school life had him completely separated from other students while his title of the strongest has led him to be constantly targetted by delinquents and other challengers looking for fame. As a result, he believes only in power and trusts no one. While fighting, he invokes fear and has a sadistic tone. Despite all of this, deep down he is someone that aches for the light.
One of the top 10 magicians in London also known as the Breaker of God. She is one of less than 20 saints in the world thereby giving her superhuman strength, speed and magical ability. She brandishes a long nodachi in battle with the name Shichiten Shichitou which she uses in conjunction with steel wires to perform combat and form magical symbols. Previously the Priestess of the Amakusa Christian Church, she defected to Necessarius after seeing her own blessing inflict misfortune to the comrades she was protecting. She too is a former partner of Index and holds great respect for Kamijou who saved her.
A young girl that appears before Accelerator. She is Serial Number 20001 of the Sisters who acts as the console or administator of the entire Misaka Network and has direct control all of the information that flows through it as well as the rest of the Sisters. As such she has access to all of the information and memories that the rest of the Sisters experience; leading to her being incredibly knowledgable despite her apparent age. Unlike her older Sisters she can display emotions and acts just like any other girl her apparent age would. Her role as the Network's console makes her highly sought after by Academy City's dark side.
A classmate, neighbour and friend of Kamijou Touma. In reality, he is a spy sent by Necessarius in order to observe Academy City. He regularly plays the role of a double agent and is involved in both magicial incidents and Academy City's dark side. He comes from a family who are descendents of Abe no Seimei and is thus a skilled Onmyouji specializing in eastern magic and feng shui. Due to the fact that his esper ability repairs broken blood vessels, he is the only magician/esper hybrid in the world. He fights for the sake of protecting his younger stepsister, Maika.
The third male protagonist of the series. After being determined to be a Level 0 by the Academy City System Scan, his failure to increase his Level led him to dropping out of school and joined the Skill-Out. Chosen by no one and possessing none of the characteristics one would expect of a hero, he fights for the sake of protecting his loved ones.
A young girl who is a member of the Amakusa Christian Church. She is skilled in housework and cooking but is also a competent magician with great vehicular skills. Her weapon of choice is a Friuli Spear used in conjunction with steel wires similar to Kanzaki.

Annuities for Retirement Planning: No other cost savings vehicle is really as misunderstood, beneath appreciated and maligned since fixed annuities. Most people that can benefit from annuities have already been bombarded by simply misinformation, one-sided opinions and downright lies. The reality is: fixed annuities are safe because they're guaranteed simply by insurance companies, a great position to keep retirement income because they pay out tax-deferred competitive dividends, and all of your funds are working 100% of times. Like all assets, fixed annuities are sometimes not good nor must anyone supply their retirement profit fixed annuities.
Sometimes individuals providing details about fixed annuities have concealed agendas, opinionated opinions and/or small knowledge. Numerous personal financial columnists for magazines and magazines get into this class: their view is yellow gold by his or her brokerage history, the goal is to ensure you get to put your cash in market opportunities that take on annuities, and their constrained knowledge had been supplied by the actual brokerage sector. Why is the broker agent industry opinionated? Because they supply investments in which compete with fixed annuities? In their eyes an "annuity purchased" is a "brokerage payment lost". Unfortunately, your biases of numerous columnists and brokers could be unknown perhaps to them.
Despite all the myths about fixed annuities, it is vital that you always comprehend your investments and affirm they are ideal for you. The particular best way to find fixed annuities "right" is to assist a financial advisor that suits you, trust and in who's best interest is your best curiosity. Below are 10 biggest myths of fixed annuities and a small rebuttal of why they're not true.
Come together with huge give up penalties: like every contracts, fines are evaluated for breaking the principles, otherwise there isn't any penalties.
All cost high charges: like standard bank CDs, annuity service fees are built-in and not necessarily taken from the key amount you place into an annuity or interest you generate.
Are extremely hard to comprehend: no more consequently than just about any investment or financial savings option, actually, annuities are easier to understand when compared with most purchases.
Money is bound for a long period of time: you might have access to your funds at all times and with no penalties should you abide by your annuity contract.
Nothing remains for my family easily dies: besides this being not true, your cash bypasses probate without delay in case you have named a named beneficiary.
Different types of annuities tend to be confusing: there are just four principal types of annuities in comparison to thousands of common funds.
Not great for older persons: they are particularly good for elderly people because they are safe, tax-deferred and ragtop to a guaranteed lifetime income.
They aren't safe: rock-solid safe with never ever a penny involving principal dropped due to the particular guarantee through the same insurance businesses protecting our own other resources.
Agents are compensated huge income to sell: adviser commissions are generally paid through the insurance company, not necessarily taken from the primary or profits.
Annuities are an exchange for life insurance: annuities are great for retirement financial savings but not excellent for wealth exchange like life insurance.
The very next time you notice a scary account about fixed annuities, look at the source to decide if it is opinionated, misinformed or maybe plain lying. If you place your money in an annuity, ensure you understand how it truly does work and is suitable for a person. Like all personal savings and investment places, fixed annuities perform great if utilized for their supposed purpose: annuities are meant for risk unfavorable, safety mindful, retirement-minded savers who're satisfied with an aggressive rate regarding return.

Why are gamers not athletes?
Should esports be in the Olympics?
Why esports should be in schools?

Are esports real sports scholastic?
Why esports is not in Olympics?
Is esports a sport in India?
What is the number 1 Esport?
Are all games sports?
Why cheerleading is not a sport?
Is esports the fastest growing sport?
How much do esports players make?
What is the most viewed Esport?
Can you define sports?
Should online games be considered a sport essay?
Electronic sports are a sport. A sport isn't defined by the danger of physical strain, injury, or a display of physical talent. A sport is defined by its competitive spirit, theatrics, and the personalities of its participants.
Similarly, Can esports be considered a sport?
"An activity requiring physical effort and skill in which a person or team competes against another or others for amusement," according to the technical definition of sport. Esports are clearly sports under this definition.
Also, it is asked, Why are esports not a sport?
eSports are a kind of competition, not a sport. A sport, according to the Merriam-Webster definition, is a recreational physical activity. While Video games demand skill and coordination, they do not include enough physical characteristics to be considered a sport.
Secondly, Are esports and sports the same?
Esports are often more sophisticated than sports, but they also have more live action every game and are more competitive. For most people today, traditional sports such as American football, baseball, and soccer have become the exclusive depiction of the term "sport."
Also, Are esports real sports debate?
Yes, esports isn't physically demanding, and there's no arguing that, but sports, like competitive video gaming, are mostly about talent. A casual player will never be able to match the play style and success rate of a skilled professional.
People also ask, Is gaming a sport 2021?
By 2024, there will be over 286 million esports fans throughout the globe. That's a 52 million increase from 2021, therefore with such rapid development in such a young sport, there has to be some validity in esports being classified as a legitimate sport.
Pro esports players should undoubtedly be regarded athletes as long as esports can be called a sport. There's nothing here about the importance of being in top physical shape, however you may be surprised to learn that many professional esports players follow a rigid fitness regimen.
While video games may be very competitive, and professional gamers can earn millions of dollars in tournaments, they are not sports.
What is the current Olympic sport?
"An athletic exercise demanding ability or physical power," according to Dictionary.com. Racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, hunting, and fishing are among the sports mentioned.
To put that in context, according to consultancy company Activate, 79 million people in the United States will watch Major League Baseball content in 2021, compared to 84 million who will watch esports. According to Activate, the NFL will be the only sport with a greater audience than esports this year.
Explanation: Virtual gaming is not a sport since a sport requires you to leave your home to participate, but virtual gaming does not need you to leave your home.
Although mastering video games involves a tremendous deal of cerebral effort, devotion, and training, the lack of physical exercise prevents them from being classified as a sport. So, the next time you pick up a controller, remember that you are not an athlete, but still have fun.
Competitive 'eSports' might be regarded a sport, and the players that participate prepare and practice at a level that is equivalent to competitors in conventional sports. The substance of "eSports" must not infringe on Olympic principles in order to be recognized as a sport by the IOC.
A competitive esports team may help kids improve their gaming talents while also teaching them leadership, sportsmanship, and communication skills. Students may use an academic esports team to translate their leisure video gaming into something they can do at school with their friends.
Yes, Esports is a viable career option in India, at long last! The gaming sector has risen dramatically throughout the years, according to data. There is a big boom in the Esports scene with new games like PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty Dream11, and many more famous games.
After being formally sanctioned by the Commonwealth Games Federation, esports is scheduled to be featured as a pilot event in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
College e-athletes, like conventional athletes, attend practices to build on strategy and abilities. E-sports are not only legal activities, but they also offer benefits over conventional sports.
Esports tournaments aren't often recognized as physical activities, like they are in the Olympics, since they are virtual. If the IOC cleared that barrier, esports would be sent to the International Sports Federation, which would define the sport's rules and regulations.
Esports, a new kind of sport that is not the same as online gaming, is gaining popularity in India. Esports is a competitive sport that requires competitive game play, a tournament or league framework, and the application of talent, most often physical ability. It has grown in popularity among young people making it an appealing alternative for marketers.
Dota 2 has become the most popular eSports game among the sport's most successful players in recent years.
A sport is an athletic activity that requires skill or physical ability and is often competitive. As a result, a game might be a sport, but a game is not always a sport. Simply competing in something does not make it a sport. The crucial distinction is that a sport involves athletic action rather than merely exercise.
A sport is an activity that involves competition and adheres to established regulations. Because it is impossible to compete against an opponent, cheerleading is not typically regarded a sport. It is a sport-specific activity designed to amuse and inspire spectators during sporting events.
Esports is the fastest-growing sport in the planet. It's no longer seen as a phenomenon that just occurs in the basements of jobless teenagers. Esports is mainstream, with overall viewership predicted to rise at a 9 percent CAGR Year on Year (YoY) between 2019 and 2023.
An esports player's average earnings might vary dramatically based on their video game and team. While multiple stories from different sources exist, esports athletes may expect to earn anywhere between $12,000 and $60,000 per year.
League of Legends is a video game developed by Riot Games.
"All types of physical exercise that contribute to physical fitness, emotional well-being, and social connection are included in the concept of'sport.'" Play, leisure, organized, informal, or competitive sport, and indigenous sports or games are among them."
Video games should not be classified as sports since they do not need physical energy or athletic aptitude. Many individuals, however, believe that the level of training, strategy, and mental effort necessary to play video games is comparable to that required in traditional sports (Young, 2016).
Esports is a form of competition that combines video games with sports. The debate on whether esports are a sport has been going on for years now.
"Is Esports a Sport?" is a question that has been asked by many people. What is the answer? I will let you know in this blog post! Reference: is esports a sport reddit.

Q: Can I give hints to the list operator(%) for memory allocation in Boost.Spirit.Qi? I want to parse the following data list.
N; data1, data2 .... dataN;

example: "100000; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 100000;" (A very large list)

Simple parsing:
auto rule = qi::int_ >> qi::lit(';') >> qi::int_ % ',' >> qi::lit(';');

However, in this case, I think that log2 (N) times memory reallocation occurs according to the specification of std::vector.
I think that this can be avoided by the following method.
int size;
std::vector<int> v;
qi::phrase_parse(itr, end, qi::int_ >> qi::lit(';'), qi::space, size);
v.reserve(size); // reserve memory
qi::phrase_parse(itr, end, qi::int_ % ',' >> qi::lit(';'), qi::space, v);

Is there a way to give hints on memory allocation for vectors on a single rule like this? For example, it is like qi::repeat(N). Or is there a technique to avoid reallocating vector memory?
Thanks for the help in advance.

A: Yes. You can reserve in an action.
Better yet, do it in an epsilon argument so that you don't lose automatic attribute propagation.
Proof of concept: Live On Coliru
Updated: Extended the demo. It turns out Phoenix already has functors for reserve and capacity, as well as size.
Note that

*

*now the reserve is a semantic action,

*the rule uses %= to enable automatic attribute propagation still,

*and then (ironically?) uses qi::omit to prevent from inserting the first int_ attribute into the container as well

Live On Coliru
#include <boost/spirit/include/qi.hpp>
#include <boost/spirit/include/phoenix.hpp>

namespace qi = boost::spirit::qi;
namespace px = boost::phoenix;

int main() {
    using Attr = std::vector<int>;
    using It   = std::string::const_iterator;

    qi::rule<It, Attr(), qi::space_type> rule;

    rule %= qi::omit[qi::int_ [ px::reserve(qi::_val, qi::_1) ] >> ';' ]
         >> (qi::eps(px::size(qi::_val) < px::capacity(qi::_val)) >> qi::int_) % ','
         >> ';'
         ;

    for (std::string const input : {
            "42; 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41;", })
    {
        It f = begin(input), l = end(input);
        Attr data;
        std::cout << "Capacity before: " << data.capacity() << "\n";

        if (phrase_parse(f, l, rule, qi::space, data))
            std::cout << "Parsed: " << data.size() << " elements ";
        else
            std::cout << "Parse failed at '" << std::string(f,l) << "' ";

        if (f != l)
            std::cout << "Remaining: '" << std::string(f,l) << "'";
        std::cout << '\n';

        std::cout << "Capacity after: " << data.capacity() << "\n";
    }
}

Prints
Capacity before: 0
Parsed: 42 elements
Capacity after: 42

Index The Game/Test setup The Failure of Soft Shadows and Parallax Mapping No Soft Shadows and No AA/AF Performance Tests 4xAA/8xAF Performance Tests Soft Shadows Performance Final Words
4xAA/8xAF Performance Tests
This is a good option for gamers with a high end card. Generally, the best way to get a better experience from a game is going to be increasing resolution. This is especially true of FEAR because the performance hit of enabling 4xAA is incredibly large. Much of FEAR is designed well to avoid noticeable aliasing (low contrast edges), and the most noticeable edges in the game are high contrast shadows.
When we enable 4xAA and 8xAF, the higher resolutions take an even bigger performance hit than with soft shadows (as we will see soon). At 1600x1200, the framerates of the 7800 GTX and GT are cut in half, making the game less enjoyable to play. At 1280x960, the 7800 GTX gets 39 fps, and the 7800 GT gets 33 fps; both of these are playable. The X1800 XL gets 32 fps at this resolution, which would also be playable. At lower resolutions, the cards didn't take as big of a performance hit with AA as with soft shadows enabled. You can see that all of these cards are playable at 800x600 except for the X1300 PRO, which is borderline at 640x480 with AA. Let's also make it clear that we stopped testing performance at higher resolutions when framerates dropped below 20 fps. Performance that bad or worse is simply useless.

And That's why they just do at least a couple of test with slower CPU to see if it affect the FPS or not...I dont say screw the FX57...I juste say..why dont you do a couple a test with a slower CPU to see if it makes a difference.... Reply

Good article but I really realy hoped you would of compared a 9800Pro. It's a very very popular card that many of us still have and we'd love to know how it performs! Reply

I've seen a trend in GPU reviews lately, in that fewer old cards are used. This review says "See if you need to upgrade", but how can I tell when my old card is not there and I have no relation to even the 800 GT? I would like to see more old cards. 9800 Pro is probably a card a LOT of people have, it would be great to include this card and perhaps 2-3 more from around that generation. Reply

"why would anyone make a game with a no name legacy that has no ability to be played in full with a system that would cost 3000 dollars? "
This is a huge exaggeration. I have a new, just under $2000 system with an x2 4200+, 7800gt, and 2 gb of memory. I can also play FEAR on 1280x1024 (that's the highest resolution my monitor can support) with all graphics settings turned on (except for soft shadows, I believe) with no noticeable issues. So while my system is a high-end system, zero playability on a $3000 system is a MASSIVE exaggeration.
In fact, for ~$2400 (the cost for me to upgrade my system to 7800gtx SLI), I could play the game flawlessly on 1280x1024 with all settings turned on. The SLI is probably overkill, in any case, meaning for ~$1900, you can play FEAR easily. Not to mention the graphics are OUTSTANDING at this level. The gameplay is amazing and the physics are to die for (I've spent hours mesmerizing friends during one part of the demo where you can flip an enemy head over heels with the bolt gun thing. So while FEAR is INCREDIBLY demanding, the game is incredibly amazing.
"sick of this assinine increase in resolutions. I bet the game actually sux after playing it for 2 days like most do."
Like Derek said, this game is outstanding. It's not absolutely and utterly captivating like HL2, nor is it as practical as HL2, but the game is still awesome.
"with a no name legacy"
Companies have to make a name for themselves. Great gameplay is one way, groundbreaking graphics is another, and a combination of the two is even better. FEAR has both. Additionally, Monolith has come out with great games in the past that have been rejected by the market. If you want me to come up with some examples, I'll dig up some games and give you some.
Granted, these games aren't "uberly leet" like HL2, but you can't expect every game to get ratings as high as 95+.
Basically, don't post irrational posts that exaggerate the truth. This isn't the time to slander FEAR or monolith or anything else, really. And there's no reason to create "flame wars." Post calm. Post decently. And post rationally...and I probably have some irrational points in here too, so just point them out and I'll attempt to fix it. If I can't, then you win. Happy? Reply
FPSnut - Saturday, October 22, 2005 - link
Fogeyman,
How did you get the game to play at 1280x1024? I only see an option for 1280x960...
Thanks in advance! Reply
Forgot to add this:
I also agree with what seems to be a popular opinion that this review is lacking info. It doesn't show us the incredibly out-of-reach SLI setups, making the review more user-tailored and less FEAR-bragging tailored, but few (if any) AGP cards are shown. This makes the review tailed towards the "high" gaming community instead of the mainstream community.
I would be happier with more lower end cards shown, more varied graphics settings chosen, and far fewer top-of-the-line cards. For example, instead of the 7800gtx and the 7800gt, I would have been okay with just the gtx or just the gt. While this leaves out a very nice card, for purposes of practically it might be better to let users extrapolate the fps for the other card, and instead show some mid-range cards as well.
If time doesn't allow for this, then perhaps make it more clear that you intend to release another, more comprehensive, review soon so we can get an overview in the first, rush-review and a more detailed review after a few weeks.
On a side note, I heard rumors that the release of FEAR is multi-threaded. Is this true? Reply
Well...testing it on a X2 VS a FX55 would make an interesting benchmark but all the reviews I have read so far use FX55-57 processor...And Btw...when CPU speed is taken in consideration ...the FPS in FEAR doesn't change much.. a AMD 64 3200 and a FX57 both run the game at almost the same speed ( give or take 1-2 fps ).

the game can fear "this" *grabs a lower organ*
why would anyone make a game with a no name legacy that has no ability to be played in full with a system that would cost 3000 dollars?
for that id go to europe and rent someone named fear to hang out with or something.
sick of this assinine increase in resolutions. I bet the game actually sux after playing it for 2 days like most do.
Now a game like half-life2, that was a game you would consider getting a new system for, or for final fantasy, or for doomIII (even though it bugged out too many people and died fast).
they should make a new game that requires two overclocked liquid cooled only 7800GTXs in sli mode that gets 4 frames at 640 resolution. that would really help out the industry! yeah!

FEAR is a top 10 game. It will become a benchmark for games follow. Imagine a developer that took some of their favorite levels from current games and worked those ideas into a believable environment. Then took a horror movie and tied it to a game and have it play on your mind more than in your eyes. Then toss in some enemy AI that does a lot more than predictably pop out from the same side of a crate; an AI that can actually flank, hide, work together, and corner the player. Then they actually play tested this game with real gamers and adjusted the difficulty to make sure there wasn't something stupid like a flood of Combine attacking you in prison when you had no health and little defense. Now wrap it up this game in cutting edge visuals.
I have the FEAR Director's Edition DVD, and highly recommend it. And I'm only playing on a P4 2.8 with 1 Gig and a 6800GT. Everything is maxed at 1024, and it looks stunning.
DerekWilson - Friday, October 21, 2005 - link
the game is actually fun and has enemies that are interesting. Half life 2 was bad enough with its enemy AI, but doom 3 had every enemy of a certain type doing exactly the same thing after its initial jump out and scare you routine. it was really boring killing enemies like that.
FEAR actually has enemies that can do different and interesting things depending on the current landscape, and it seems they work together better in this game than others.
I'd say that as a single person shooter, FEAR has better playability than many other games out there.
And, again, lower settings run at higher frame rates. Reply

Bounds Broken
Video bulletins eliminated
Implementation of "Grizz Time' means there isn't room during the school day for a student news broadcast
Will Anderson/GBT.org photo
Like the streets near Hollywood, stars outside the entrance to the video studio near the library honor former students who were part of the media program at Granite Bay High. This year, the media program is no longer producing video bulletins.
Will Anderson, Editor
Second period on Tuesdays and Thursdays looks a little different this fall at Granite Bay High.
Because of the newly structured schedule, all classes are now equal in length leaving teachers now extra time to read students the bulletins or for them to show video bulletins to students.
As a whole, the production of weekly video bulletins has been eliminated from the fall semester.
Senior class president Taylor Stiern expressed that there is an increased difficulty in trying to communicate valuable information with the student body.
According to Stiern, the bulletins are mainly used by student government for "getting the information out."
"Now that we don't have them, trying to find a way for us to even get those ads out – we have to produce them," Stiern said. "(Videos) are not our specialty, so they're not the best."
To address the issues, student government has furthered their usage of other communication forums such as Twitter and Remind.
"Nobody wants to read a long poster or long flyer," Stiern said. "Not everyone has a Twitter or not everyone is on Remind, so we are not targeting the big majority again."
Though this hasn't proven to be a problem within the classroom for senior Brennan Holt, whose second period teacher posts bulletins on the board every day, this is not the case for all students and classes.
"For classes that don't get the written bulletins read to them every day, I think you're probably missing out on some information," Holt said.
The change was originally implemented so that media students would have more opportunities to work on projects aside from bulletins.
"I do think that it helps save time in class because it did end up being kind of a waste of time in some classes last year," Holt said.
Media instructor Zachary Weidkamp has arranged the media program so that his students will learn different aspects of video production throughout the beginning and advanced classes.
"This past year, because of a bunch of different things … we ultimately didn't get enough students to fill a full section," Weidkamp said.
The class had more than 30 students enrolled, but the administration did not want to split the class in half to fill both the fall and spring courses.
"Five or six years ago we had 15 kids in the course and it ran – but it's not my call, it's an administrative call," Weidkamp said.
Instead, the class was combined so that all students were together in one class, and that class will be held during the spring semester.
"For electives and study programs like this, we are always in a battle trying to capture students' attention and to get them in the program, because that's what drives our livelihood," Weidkamp said.
This can make teaching challenging, as the students have mandatory requirements such as producing bulletins on behalf of the school.
"We can't be too strict because it's not going to be fun for kids," Weidkamp said. "We can't be too lenient, otherwise we are going to have kids bouncing off the walls.
"It's a happy medium between making a fun environment, but still having some structure and still having a system set up where it feels like kids are actually doing something."
Despite not producing weekly bulletins to get information out to the campus, Weidkamp hasn't received any backlash or frustration from teachers or students.
"It's a hard thing for the school because the school doesn't get that information in the bulletins," Weidkamp said. "But when the system is set up – our bulletins are good because the system works – I can't destroy the system just for the sake that we don't have enough kids in a class."
Weidkamp has had further pedagogical challenges as he has adjusted to the changes in his program.
Beginner media students are not put in charge of the media bulletins because they do not have the knowledge or experience yet to produce the videos at a high level.
So although there have been issues with communicating information at a campus-wide level, the biggest problem for Weidkamp has been making adjustments to the media program so that it caters to the needs of the new GBHS intervention schedule.
"If they are already getting the thrill of doing the bulletins in the beginning class, what's the incentive for them to go on to the advanced class," Weidkamp said. "It would be like shooting yourself in the foot – it wouldn't make logical sense."

REMAKES ARE A DIME A DOZEN in television and movies these days, but every now and then something special comes along where the child outshines the parent. "Battlestar Galactica" comes to mind, as well as John Carpenter's "The Thing," and possibly the upcoming premiere of Netflix's "Lost in Space" reboot series.
In the case of this article it is the HBO mini-series WEST WORLD, a re-imagining of the 1973 movie that was written and directed by famed author Michael Crichton, that is worthy of praise.
The first 10-episode season of this daring show is coming to a close and critical and fan reaction is so positive that it appears there will definitely be a second season. With an exceptional cast including the likes of actors Ed Harris and Anthony Hopkins, this modern take on a 'man vs. technology' horror film decides to embrace a more enlightened and textured vision of artificial intelligence, androids, and man's inhumanity to, well, man!
Paying tribute to a wealth of movies including "Blade Runner," "2001: A Space Odyssey," and "A.I." this innovative series offers up a new and interesting take on the responsibilities, morals, and ethics of questionable technological breakthroughs, and their profound affect on human life… and the human soul.
Part mystery, part thriller, part horror story, part science fiction mortality tale, and part revisionist Old West homage, HBO's WestWorld offers up a little something for anyone who appreciates clever plotting, engaging dialogue, and magnetic characters!


critics gathered in Los Angeles.
acknowledged that the network has a lot of improving to do.
'Clearly we are in the midst of a very disappointing season,' Braun said.
18 through 49 this season -- and the other networks can quickly be overcome.

My brother got me started. I find difficult to say exactly how old I was when I have started to listening to electronic music. I think I was around 9 years old. My brother listened to lot of tracks from Westbam, Scooter, Brooklyn Bounce, Darude and many many more so it just naturally influenced me. Also a lot of my friends were fans of this kind of music and I did not want to be different
Tell us about your recent successes.
My career has been kicked of for good in late 2013 with releases on Dutch label Be Yourself Music/High Contrast. After few singles they gathered support coming from the likes of Armin van Buuren (ASOT plays), Dash Berlin, Paul Oakenfold, Tritonal + major media presence (DJ Mag, Mixmag, Your EDM, EDM.com, etc) plus TV placement on the NCIS TV series (originally aired on CBS) among others.
Afterwards I had the opportunity to remix for Sied van Riel and Richard Durand on Black Hole Recordings and was part of Ushuaia Ibiza Summer Edition 2014 CD compilation released on Defected Records next to artists like Avicii, Sebastian Ingrosso, Mark Knight, etc. This is what was briefly happening in 2014 which is coming to its end. IT ensured me that I'm doing the right thing. Looking forward to 2015
When I was 13 years old I started to mess around with those blocks in Dance eJay 2 (anyone remember this 'DAW'? hehehe!). Later I discovered Magix Music Maker (which was pretty much the same as eJay), then, during computer classes in my school I came across the Fruity Loops 3 demo, tried it and have kept using it till this day. Newer versions of course. I wasn't producing my own tracks at the beginning but doing some edits. It was great fun and a lot of sleepless nights;) since FL 5 I started to do own, original tracks and was discovering power of this DAW. Really love the pattern/clip set up. It's amazing how very simple and intuitive everything is. If I had to describe the FL in two words, I'd say "simplicity" and "speed"!
Generally the room where I sleep is also my studio. I've been using Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro headphones for 3 years as reference monitoring system and really love to work with them. Hard to believe maybe but I produce everything using my headphones.
Also I have KRK RP 5 studio speakers but rarely use them. Audio interface is RME Fireface UC – really love it! About my software toys I use Sylenth1 from LennarDigital and Spire from Reveal Sound a lot. Like to use a Xfer Serum for the basslines and Native Instruments' Massive. From plugins effects I really fell in love with Image Line's Effector and Vocodex.
I also use Stereo Shaper and Pitcher too in my projects. Generally, standard plugins from FL Studio are amazing enough to create professional sounding track from scratch till final result.

Q: Excel 2010 command button disappears I'm developing an Excel 2010 workbook, in a manual formulas calculation mode.
(file -> options -> formulas -> Workbook calculation -> manual)
I have some command buttons in the sheet (ActiveX controls), and I set them to move and size with cells (right click on the button -> format control -> Properties -> move and size with text).
This is since I have some rows filtered out under some conditions, and I want the buttons placed in these rows to appear and disappear as well, according to the display mode of their hosting rows.
It all goes perfectly fine, till I save he worksheet when some of the rows (hence buttons) are filtered out (i.e. not displayed).
When I re-open the file again, and expand the filtered rows, the buttons don't show. When checking their properties I see that their visible property is True, but their height is 0, and this doesn't change when I un-filter their hosting rows.
I want to emphasize again that before saving the file - both filtering and un-filtering the buttons worked well.
Would much appreciate any help here.

A: OK so I get the same results either with ActiveX or Form Controls. For whatever reason, it seems the control's original height does not persist beyond the save & close.
Another option would be to simply clear the AutoFilter on the Workbook's Close and Save events.  However, this probably is not what you want if you like to leave some filter(s) on when you save and re-open the file.  It's probably possible to save the filter parameters in a hidden sheet or by direct manipulation of the VBE/VBA, but that seems like a LOT more trouble than it's worth.  Then you could re-apply the filter(s) when you re-open the workbook.
Here is what code I suggest
NOTE: I relied on the worksheet's _Calculate event with a hidden CountA formula (setting, changing, or clearing the AutoFilter will trigger this event).  I put the formula in E1 just so you can see what it looks like:

Since your application relies on Calculation = xlManual then this approach will not work exactly for you but in any case, the subroutine UpdateButtons could be re-used.  You would need to tie it in to another event(s) or functions in your application, as needed.
Here is the code
Option Explicit
Private Sub UpdateButtons()
'## Assumes one button/shape in each row
'   buttons are named/indexed correctly and
'   the first button appears in A2
Dim rng As Range
Dim shp As Shape
Dim i As Long

Application.EnableEvents = False
'## use this to define the range of your filtered table
Set rng = Range("A1:A6")

'## Iterate the cells, I figure maybe do this backwards but not sure
'   if that would really make a difference.
For i = rng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
    Set shp = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set shp = Me.Shapes(i - 1)
    On Error GoTo 0

    If Not shp Is Nothing Then
        DisplayButton Me.Shapes(i - 1), Range("A" & i)
    End If
Next

Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Private Sub DisplayButton(shp As Shape, r As Range)
    '# This subroutine manipulates the shape's size & location
    shp.Top = r.Top
    shp.TopLeftCell = r.Address
    shp.Height = r.Height
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
MsgBox "_Change"
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
''## Assumes one button/shape in each row
''   buttons are named/indexed correctly and
''   the first button appears in A2
'Dim rng As Range
'Dim shp As Shape
'Dim i As Long
'
''## Uncomment this line if you want an annoying message every time
''MsgBox "Refreshing Command Buttons!"
'
'Application.EnableEvents = False
''## use this to define the range of your filtered table
'Set rng = Range("A1:A6")
'
''## Iterate the cells, I figure maybe do this backwards but not sure
''   if that would really make a difference.
'For i = rng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
'    Set shp = Nothing
'    On Error Resume Next
'    Set shp = Me.Shapes(i - 1)
'    On Error GoTo 0
'
'    If Not shp Is Nothing Then
'        DisplayButton Me.Shapes(i - 1), Range("A" & i)
'    End If
'Next
'
'Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

A: I had a similar problem with buttons disapearing (moving on upper left corner) when removing filters.
A solution I found was to add a row above the columns headers so that buttons were still appearing at the top of the columns but were not touching the row where filters were placed.
Adding / removing filters stop interfering with buttons' positions.

A: I had a similar problem where form buttons appear to work fine, but then disappear after saving and reopening the workbook. Specifically this happened when the form button where part of hidden rows (done using vba code).
Seems like a real bug, although I don't know where the link is.
By changing the form buttons to ActiveX buttons, the buttons stopped disappearing, but started moving/bunching to the top of the screen when the rows were hidden. I just added some vba to re-position the buttons (e.g. CommandButton1.Top = Range(A12:A12).Top --> moves the ActiveX command button to the 12th row).

Blame Game In TN And Kerala As People Struggle To Cope With Havoc Of Cyclone Ockhi
Blame Game In Tamil Nadu And Kerala As People Struggle To Cope With Havoc Of Cyclone Ockhi
While the IMD has clearly said that they had issued the alert on 28 November, two days before the cyclone Ockhi hit the coastal areas, the government of both the states are trying to evade responsibility by suggesting that the alert came too late.

New Delhi: Despite all efforts, many fishermen are still missing. Cyclone Ockhi has already claimed 24 lives in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Rescue operations are still on with Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard's coordinated efforts in Thiruvananthapuram-Kollam coastal area, but there's no way the state governments or the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) can compensate for the loss of lives and property.
While the IMD has clearly said that they had issued the alert on 28 November, two days before the cyclone hit the coastal areas, the government of both the states are trying to evade responsibility by suggesting that the alert came too late.
Dr M Mohapatra, IMD DGM New Delhi, NWFC, told CNN-News18 that every week the Met department issues a statement on the weather. "The cyclone alert was sent to the state departments two days before it hit," he said.
RB Udaykumar, Tamil Nadu's revenue and disaster management minister admitted that IMD had informed them about the cyclone. "We immediately informed the district collectors of Kanyakumari, Tuticorin and Nagercoil about the alert," he said. Udaykumar said that all resources were put in by the government to avoid the disaster of the natural calamity.
He said nine people died because thousands of trees were uprooted. "We ensured we set up 15 relief centres at Kanyakumari where more than 1200 people from low lying areas were relocated. We reviewed the district, and the situation is under control," he said.
But the situation doesn't quite seem to be under control. Though the cyclonic storm - which has weakened - has moved away from Lakhadweep and is headed towards the coast of Maharashtra, hundreds are reported missing and 16 people have died in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Despite all efforts, 33 boats and 83 fishermen haven't yet returned.
Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari district, one of the worst affected, still remains largely powerless with more than a thousand people stranded in rescue centres.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edapadi K Palaniswami in a statement said that he has ordered the officers and the ministers to take up rescue and relief operations on a "war footing".
There are several questions that arise here—Why were the fishermen allowed to enter the sea? Why were they not told to avoid it? If the district collectors were informed in advance why had they not taken enough precautionary measures?
On Sunday, fishermen in Thirvananthapuram launched their own rescue operation with 55 boats venturing into the high seas to search for those who have not returned. They found six bodies. The angry fishermen community protested before Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan when he visited a fishing village in the state capital. They protested in Kanyakumari too alleging rescue operations have been inadequate.
There's a tale of blame game in Kerala too. While the Kerala government insists that it received an IMD weather alert only on November 30, Union minister Alphons Kannanthanam said it was issued two days earlier. "There was a warning to the fishermen not to venture into the sea. It is a question of who allowed them to go even after the warning," he said.
Meanwhile, the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) and the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) have been sparring over lapses in issuing a warning over cyclone Ockhi.
While the IMD has confirmed that a bulletin was issued to all states on 28 November, warning of heavy rains, squally winds and high waves in south Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Lakshadweep, indicating a depression that could intensify. It had even advised fishermen not to venture into the sea.
Officials at SDMA claimed there was no indication in the alert that it could develop into a cyclonic storm. They said that it looked more like a regular protocol, alerting for heavy rains and high waves.
Union earth sciences minister Harsh Vardhan said that IMD's first bulletin of the cyclone warning was conveyed to all district officials in Kerala, the state disaster management authority and the chief secretary.
"In the bulletin, there was a clear message for fishermen not to venture into the sea during the next 48 hours. This bulletin was repeated every three hours including on the night of 29 November and was still continuing," Vardhan said.
While the government is trying to shift responsibility by blaming the IMD, it cannot be denied that there wasn't enough precautionary measures in place.
The state governments have reached out to the Centre, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi assuring to provide adequate help. However, the blame games have begun even as the people are struggling to cope with the trail of havoc Ochki has left behind.

Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi announced on Tuesday, January 29, 2019, the formation and functions of the Supreme Council for Combating Corruption.
A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Youssef Al-Kalabi , announced the appointment of the committee on Sunday as a date to announce its opinion on the Supreme Council for Combating Corruption, which was formed by Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi recently. Al-Kalabi said in a press statement that the committee will hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow to discuss the announcement of the formation of the Supreme Council for Combating Corruption by the government, indicating that the committee will announce its position on the formation of the council after the meeting.

EDMONTON—Retired lieutenant-general Roméo Dallaire — renowned for his work preventing the recruitment of child soldiers — doesn't hold back when asked about children being separated from their parents at U.S. detention centres along the Mexican border.
Dallaire, 72, is in Edmonton on Thursday for a multifaith conference taking place this week at MacEwan University. The military commander, humanitarian, former senator and author spoke to StarMetro by phone Tuesday about his evolving views on faith and immigration, and his work with child soldiers and veterans.
Having worked with child soldiers through his initiative — the Halifax, N.S.-based Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative — for over a decade, Dallaire said U.S. President Donald Trump's administration's decision to separate children from their parents as part of its "zero tolerance" illegal immigration policy can seriously harm the children in the long term.
More than 2,500 children were separated from their parents at the border in the past several months amid a zero-tolerance policy that saw anyone caught crossing illegally treated as a criminal.
Trump eventually dropped the policy, finding it under fire from Democrats and Republicans alike. But of more than 2,500 children who were initially separated from parents and guardians, hundreds remain in federal custody including more than 400 whose parents left the U.S. without them.
In the wake of the controversy, StarMetro reported that Canada, too, has detained migrant children, and experts warned it needs to stop. However, the bulk of children detained in Canada were held at detention centres with their families.
Much of the discourse surrounding immigration, according to Dallaire, needs to pivot to areas of conflict, as opposed to fleeing migrants. In recent years, thousands of people have crossed illegally into Canada from the United States. This has led to criticism of the Safe Third Country Agreement between the two countries, which requires refugee claimants to request refugee protection in the first safe country the arrive in.
While Dallaire believes Canada should continue to take in more refugees, he says aid programs sponsored by the United Nations and other multilateral institutions are today more important than ever.
Moreover, he added, it's essential that immigrants and refugees receive care to successfully integrate into society once they're in a Western country such as Canada.
Dallaire, who has spoken publicly about suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after witnessing the Rwandan genocide, says people need to be treated with compassion to create a better future.
About three years ago, he says he started developing self-compassion through faith, which has helped him grapple with his own mental health issues.
After nearly 20 years of therapy and treatment for mental health issues, he says he began to find solace in faith about three years ago. Now when faced with moral and ethical and dilemmas, it's often his faith he turns to.
In fact, on Thursday he plans to talk about how faith can help in conflict zones.
Dallaire will deliver his keynote at the North American Interfaith Network Conference at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday evening at the First Presbyterian Church, at 10025 105 St. NW.

Q: How to convert neatly 1 size numpy array to a scalar? Numpy "asscalar" gives error when input is not a 1 size array. I have this silly interest in how to avoid the following error in a smart way (possibly using the right numpy functions).
In many ocasions I need to use the numpy where function to find a single item. However, sometimes this item is present more than once, I would like to use the indeces from the where function in a way in which the output would be an simple variable (if it appears once, either string or float) or an array (if mutiple instances).
Of course, I could use len() in a boolean check and perform the conversion. However, I would like to know if there is a one step approach. I had tought to use asscalar however, this function returns and error if the input is not a 1 value array (I had hope it would return the input value unchanged :/). Here is the reproduction of the error on the second part of the code
import numpy as np

Inventory   = np.array(['Eggs', 'Milk', 'Ham', 'Eggs'])
Drinks      = 'Milk'
Food        = 'Eggs'

index_item_searched = np.where(Inventory == Drinks)
items_instore = np.asscalar(Inventory[index_item_searched])
print 'The shop has', items_instore

index_item_store = np.where(Inventory == Food)
items_instore = np.asscalar(Inventory[index_item_store])
print 'The shop has', items_instore
#I want an output like ['Eggs', 'Eggs']

Thanks for your patience :)

A: For future reference:
As of numpy v1.16, asscalar is deprecated. Use np.ndarray.item instead. As the other answer said, generally it's nicer for functions to only return a single type, but there are notable APIs where this is not the case (like __getitem__ for numpy arrays and even lists!). So I would recommend
from typing import Union, Any

import numpy as np

def maybe_single_item(array: np.ndarray) -> Union[np.ndarray, Any]:
    try:
        return array.item()
    except TypeError:
        return array

(python 3.5+)

A: If I understand correctly that you want to print a scalar in case of a single find in the Inventory, while you want to print an array in case of multiple finds, then the answer is "this is not a nice thing to do", and is generally considered poor design. In other words, there's a reason why this can't be done without a bit of work: it can be dangerous if your code produces different kinds of results based on semantics.
Anyway, one of the answers by @kindall to the already linked question suggests a function
def scalify(l):
    return l if len(l) > 1 else l[0]

which will return the list given to it, unless the list has a single element in which case it returns the element. Just what you need want.
Example:
import numpy as np

def scalify(l):
    return l if len(l) > 1 else l[0]

def getitems(inventory,itemtype):
    return inventory[inventory==itemtype]

Inventory   = np.array(['Eggs', 'Milk', 'Ham', 'Eggs'])
Drinks      = 'Milk'
Food        = 'Eggs'

print('The shop has %s' % scalify(getitems(Inventory,Drinks)))

print('The shop has %s' % scalify(getitems(Inventory,Food)))

Output:
The shop has Milk
The shop has ['Eggs' 'Eggs']

Q: Change User Agent in php.ini i am trying to change user agent in php.ini file as follows.
user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone Simulator; U;
CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OD X; en-us)
AppleWebKit/535.17.9(KHTML, like Gecko)

after that when i check user agent in my php file with following command and this show that user agent has not been change.
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

this shows : Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/5.0)
which is still not iphone user agent which i have set in php.ini file.
so please help me how to set user agent in php.ini file which switch my browser request as iphone browser request.
i have also tried with following command.
ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone Simulator; U;
    CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OD X; en-us)
       AppleWebKit/535.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2
       Mobile/8H7 Safari/6533.18.5');

this also gives same result and i am unable to switch to iphone browser request.

A: I'm afraid you've misunderstood. The user_agent setting in php.ini has nothing to do with $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT].
The setting in php.ini is used as a default for when PHP does HTTP requests, for example with cURL.
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] contains the user agent that the web browser sent along with its request to your PHP script. That's why it's showing MSIE because you're viewing the page in MSIE.
If you want to send a different user agent from your browser, you'll have to use a browser plugin unless the browser allows you to freely modify it. For example like this.

Abroad EP members slam Pakistan: Gülen-linked schools contribute to education, social coexistence
EP members slam Pakistan: Gülen-linked schools contribute to education, social coexistence
Some members of the European Parliament have strongly condemned the Supreme Court of Pakistan for a ruling in December recognizing former staff members of Pakistan-based Turkish schools run by followers of the Gülen movement as "terrorists," Euronews reported on Friday.
In a letter to Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, a number of EP members expressed dismay over the court ruling against the Pak Turk International Çağ Educational Foundation (ICEF) and its personnel. The top Pakistani court labeled the foundation as a "terrorist organization" in a ruling on Dec. 13 after facing persistent pressure from Ankara to do so.
In its decision the court ruled that since Turkey designates the ICEF and institutions affiliated with it as "terrorist groups," Pakistan must also recognize them as such in line with its international obligations.
The EP members said the Pakistani court's ruling was politically motivated.
"As a result, we were informed by several reliable sources and human rights organizations that these schools and their staff have been under extreme pressure in Pakistan due to the political spillover of the current political developments in Turkey."
The recent decision against the ICEF, the European lawmakers asserted, had sparked concern among the parliamentarians. Furthermore, lawmakers who put their name on the letter stated that they sensed some political influence over the legal process.
"The circumstances in which the Supreme Court took the mentioned decision," the letter added, "demonstrated that the Turkish authorities had been involved in this politically motivated process."
The Turkish government has been carrying out a massive crackdown on Gülen movement followers in Turkey and abroad over the past several years which culminated with a failed coup attempt in July 2016.
"These schools and their staff proved themselves to be of major importance, contributing to education and social co-existence in Pakistan and in many European countries," the lawmakers stated in the letter, adding, "Therefore, we believe that these education institutions should not be subject to any form of legal decision, which is politically motivated at the request by the Turkish government and its authorities."
The EU letter, in its conclusion, called on Pakistani authorities to ensure the safety of Turkish educators sought by Ankara. "We, therefore, urge you and the EEAS, notably through the EU Delegation to Pakistan, to use all the means at your disposal to ensure a safe atmosphere for Pak-Turk International Cag Education Foundation and its staff." It remains to be seen whether Pakistan abides by international norms and the EU call or sides with Ankara.
Signatories of the letter included Ana Gomes, Alyn Smith, Alessia Mosca, Rebecca Harms, Nessa Childers, Margrete Auken, Bart Staes, Julie Ward, Patricia Lalonde and Eva Kaili. (turkishminute.com)
