Now that you are about to give birth, you are probably wondering if breastfeeding is the best option as opposed to formula. Breastfeeding will ensure that your baby is getting the proper nutrition for health and development. It is also a great way to bond with your baby. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 77 percent of babies are now breastfed, which is an increase of 60 percent in the last ten years.
Breast milk in and of itself is a complete food as it contains about 400 nutrients in addition to hormones and disease fighting compounds, none of which are present in formula. As your baby grows, it will adjust its nutritional makeup to suit your baby's needs.
During your second trimester for pregnancy, the milk will begin production in your mammary glands as your hormone levels increase. However, full-scale milk production does not begin till after you deliver. Your mammary glands each have a function in producing breast milk. The alveoli are clusters of small grape-like sacs in your breasts that are surrounded by muscles that then squeeze the milk into the ductless, which are the canals that carry the milk to the milk ducts. The milk ducts are an intricate network of canals that then deliver the milk to your baby.
During your final days of pregnancy and immediately after delivery, your body begins to produce colostrums. Colostrums is yellowish and thicker than milk you will produce in later stages of breastfeeding. It is high in protein, minerals and fat-soluble vitamins. Colostrums also contain immunoglobulins, which are antibodies that provide the baby with passive immunity to protect the baby from a vast number of viral and bacterial ailments.
About four days after your delivery, your body will switch from colostrums to transitional milk. This creamy breast milk contains increased levels of lactose, fat and vitamins and has more calories than colostrums. You will notice that your breasts will become increasingly larger and firmer in this stage, causing you some possible discomfort. If you stick to regular feedings during this phase it will help ease this and, don't worry, this stage only lasts about two weeks !
After about 2 weeks, your body will then begin to produce mature milk. The first stage is foremilk, which has a bluish tint and contains water, vitamins and protein. The final stage of mature milk is called hind milk is white in color. Hind milk contains the increased levels of fat needed to provide your baby with proper nutrition for healthy weight gain.
In order for your body to produce healthy milk, you should take care of your body and maintain a proper diet. Here are some helpful tips to help keep you healthy while breastfeeding.
Eat healthy: You need to maintain your health as well as your baby's so it is crucial that you take care of yourself and make sure you are getting the proper nutrition. Do not worry about counting calories or losing weight while breastfeeding. You should continue to eat the same way you did when you were pregnant: plenty of fruits, veggies and whole grains. Choose leans meats and healthy fats.
Drink filtered water: Play it safe, there are still traces of chemicals and high levels of fluoride in tap water.
Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol does in fact enter your breast milk and no level of alcohol is safe for your infant. If you do opt for the alcoholic beverage, you should avoid breastfeeding altogether until you are sure it has completely cleared your system. For 12 ounces of beer, for example, it will take about 3 hours to be considered safe. Pumping does not speed up the process so don't "pump and dump".
Limit caffeine intake: Caffeine can affect how much sleep your baby will get. You should limit your caffeine to 8 to 12 ounces per day or better yet, avoid it altogether if you can. Avoid energy drinks as these are usually containing high levels of caffeine. You should stick to herbal teas, mineral water and decaffeinated tea or coffee.
Refrain from smoking: Twice the amount of nicotine is passed through breast milk then transferred through the placenta during pregnancy. Babies with parents who are smokers are more likely to develop asthma, bronchitis, sinus and ear infections, croup and pneumonia. They are also at higher risk for SIDS. It is advised that you do not smoke while breastfeeding for your baby's overall safety and health.
Discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor: Most medications are safe while breastfeeding but most of them will enter into your breast milk so it is important for your baby's health to discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor, including over the counter medications.
Proper prenatal care is imperative: discuss your plans to breastfeed with your doctor, keep all appointments and adhere to everything your doctor advises you.
Take a class on breastfeeding basics.
Find a support network: Talk to friends who have breastfed in the past and discuss your plans to breastfeed with your significant other, friends and family members.
Purchase the necessary items: nursing pad and bras, breast pumps and nursing pillows.
Now that you have some basic information, you can decide for yourself if breastfeeding is the best course for you and your baby!


There are 22 reviews of Let Me Play The Lion.
This is quite a distinctive scent, and I can't think of much else that smells like it. It's basically a sharp cedar that smells almost like vetiver with some minor herbal nuances and a peppery smoke accord. The whole thing's spun green, but moderately so. The incense lends it an industrial quality — almost like a cardamom molten plastic effect that you'd expect from Nu_Be — but it's handled in a way that hints at rather than mandates industrial imagery. Given that it's cedar, which is usually a fairly heavy base note, the scent is pleasingly delicate and transparent — and I like that about it. Last, the scent has an arid dustiness to it. As the result, I picture cacti and sage scrub and long roads stretching out across a Road Runner-style landscape. LMPtL is a simplistic composition, but that simplicity is what opens it up for wide interpretation.
To me this is a fantasy fragrance. A futuristic incense, with bright raspy wood, uplifting spice and i also get some kind of candy i can't put my finger on... A bit licouricy, but with a boozy tang.
A densely mixed synthetic cocktail which is much more interesting than the sum of it's parts, i find it completely delicious.
The sillage leaves some to be desired, but on the other hand i kind of like keeping it like a secret on my wrist which can entertain my imagination every now and then.
Super smooth aqueous-translucent (and finally slightly resinous) frankincense/cedarwood/sandalwood accord in typical Comme des Garcons (or Andrea Maack and yes Nu_be)'s style. Sharply stiff, vaguely aldehydic and minimalistic in a sort of "introvert/meditative" way. Straight to the point and elegant. There is a "secret" synthetic aromachemical centered (vaguely conceptual) approach providing for a while a sort of "icy" vibe (slightly a la Andrea Maack Craft with its cold metal/ice "presence" for instance). LesNez Let me play the Lyon has not a "laborious" evolution but is a solid and refined piece of sharpness for sure. You can detect well calibrated soft balsams/resins coexisting with dry-fluidy woods and "dustiness". Light fresh spices (and aromatic green elements) provide a sort of "liquid-dusty" undertone (I suppose cardamom, pepper, lavender and may be ginger). I detect points in common with the renowned Gucci Pour Homme (and partially Heeley Cardinal) which is anyway finally more floral and less minimalistic. A touch of forest resins and amber provide a light final "spongy" basic sense of smoothness. Really a great take on the dry woods/frankincense (pencil shaving-like) theme.
This one gets a weak thumbs up from me. Let Me Play the Lion smells primarily of a very light and subtle minimalist composition of cedar and incense at its heart, with a slightly more authoritative sandalwood and ambergris dry-down. The scent nearly disappears immediately after initial application, and then reappears thirty minutes later. That said, even when it *does* reappear, the appearance is so quiet and subtle that you barely know you are wearing a scent at all until the dry-down stage where it shows its metal just a hair... Doyen is an extremely talented nose, and Let Me Play the Lion does smell innovative and quite good for what it is worth, but her talents are being somewhat wasted here. Projection is non-existent and longevity is average. Nice scent that is worth a sniff, but not nice enough to warrant a full bottle purchase, IMO. 3 stars out of 5.
I LOVE this fragrance! I've been tempted to write Demeter and ask them to make a "Warm Kitty Fur" or "Cat in the Windowsill" fragrance or something because I love the musky smell my kitties have after they've been sitting in the hot sun. Well, this is it! I must have found this one through one of the basenotes threads about cat fur...who knows? But I like minimalist woodsy fragrances on my husband, and he likes them, too (is it weird that I want him to smell like a dusty warm cat? hah!). He's not a fan of heavy spice on himself (but he loves it on me!), and he's been trying to find more woodsy colognes that he can tolerate, but I often steal this one to wear for myself, too (yay for true unisex fragrances). This one is just strong enough without being overpowering, and the longevity is decent on the skin - although very close to the skin after a few hours. It does have a dustiness to it, but I don't find it as musky or animalic as most labeled as such (I'm thinking of the strong civet in Jicky). This and Atelier Cologne's "Bois Blonds" are two favorites of his now, and they have similar dusty-woodsy attributes that we both find attractive.

The latest issue of the journal Music and Literature pays deservingly lavish tribute to the critic, scholar, novelist, and librettist Paul Griffiths. One can read online a wide-ranging interview with Paul, in which he gives an unsparing perspective on the decline of music criticism: "Criticism, in the sense of an engagement that strives to elucidate and interpret rather than award points, seems to me to be integral to a shared culture and unsustainable without such a culture." Several pieces describe the genesis of Paul's Ophelia novel, let me tell you, and the subsequent adaptation by Hans Abrahamsen, one of the great works of recent years. I was particularly interested in Paul's report on recent festivities in Budapest marking the ninetieth birthday of György Kurtág. The event gave tantalizing glimpses of Kurtág's opera-in-progress, Endgame. A series of announcements and postponements of the première, at Salzburg and then at La Scala, has raised fears that the opera may never see the light of day, but the score is clearly at an advanced stage of composition and is already being rehearsed. In Budapest, Kurtág was seen coaching the contralto Hilary Summers on a setting of Beckett's poem "Roundelay," with which the opera will begin. According to Paul, the excerpt suggests that Endgame will be "more abrupt, more disrupted, to be delivered by voices less sure of where the next note, the next word, will be coming from, but that it will also be lit by the later lyricism." One can hear a snippet of the music and catch sight of the full score in a Euronews video, which also shows Kurtág to be in seemingly robust health. Paul reports that the opera is now "confidently expected" for Salzburg in 2018.
An important, dismaying read: Ethan Iverson on Steinway, John Paulson, and Donald Trump.... Earlier this month, a group led by the composer Ashley Fure unsettled the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music with GRID, or Gender Research in Darmstadt, an activist initiative highlighting the severe under-representation of female composers in Darmstadt's history. Fure's essay "Reflections on Risk" is a crucial document. In the midst of the furor, Fure's opera The Force of Things had its official première.... On the horizon: Infinite Now, a major operatic score by Chaya Czernowin, will have its première in Gent next April. Czernowin discussed the project in Darmstadt.... The Carlsbad Music Festival returns Aug. 26-28: the lineup includes two shows by SoCal new-music heroes wild UP, the acclaimed "West" program and a new one entitled "Future Folk" .... Listen on the BBC website to the recent Thomas Adès Prom, with Francisco Coll's Four Iberian Miniatures and the new orchestral version of Adès's Lieux retrouvés....

Amy Garapic directs more than sixty percussionists.... In Van, David Menestres examines the welcome surge of interest in Julius Eastman, with particular focus on the new Frozen Reeds release of Femenine (also touted by Hua Hsu on the New Yorker website).... Two longtime Noise friends are taking up new jobs: Marc Geelhoed, of Time Out Chicago and the Chicago Symphony, will become Director of Digital Initiatives at the Detroit Symphony; and Steve Smith, of Time Out New York, the New York Times, and the Boston Globe, will be Director of Publications at National Sawdust.

No Exit. The New Yorker, Aug. 22, 2016.
In yesterday's New York Times David Segal complained about the arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that is being played at the Olympics in Rio. Ordinarily, I'm all for harmonic analysis in the mainstream press, but the article takes an irritatingly jingoistic tone, arguing that the presence of a few minor chords creates a "defeatist" atmosphere. To my ears, the harmonization reflects the influence of pop arrangements created for Whitney Houston and others. Listen, for example, to the chord under "free" in the version by that defeatist melancholic Mariah Carey. There is, of course, a long history of hysteria over allegedly unpatriotic treatments of "The Star-Spangled Banner," going back to the police action against Stravinsky's ill-fated arrangement. Yet John Philip Sousa got away with his blatant Wagnerization of the anthem.
More: Tim Smith, of the Baltimore Sun, recalls that we have been down this road before, in the kerfuffle over Peter Breiner's arrangement of the anthem in 2004. Philip Kennicott wrote a thoughtful Washington Post piece on the subject.
The German composer, a poet of tense simplicity, will appear at Café Oto, in London, on Aug. 30, playing her works for piano. On CD, Andy Lee's recording of abgemalt, on Irritable Hedgehog, is a good point of departure for an exploration of Houben's spare, spacious world. The composer and organist Carson Cooman has recorded several of Houben's large-scale works for organ; on YouTube, you can hear his renditions of drones and finished — unfinished. Edition Wandelweiser has the composer's own account of her Orgelbuch. The double-bass piece Nachtstück, excerpted above, has been recorded both by Dominic Lash, for Another Timbre, and by Scott Worthington, for Bandcamp.
This segment of John Oliver's show Last Week Tonight is far too brutally accurate to get the laughs that it deserves. Even the throwaway jokes are precisely sourced: for example, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution indeed cut its full-time film critic in 2007, along with the remainder of its arts-critic staff. (Pierre Ruhe, at one time the AJC's excellent classical critic, is now the director of artistic planning at the Alabama Symphony.) One irony missed in the Spotlight parody at the end: the Boston Globe took great pride in that film, and yet it has been cutting back on arts criticism because it's not "clicky" enough.

Racist Shop Clerk to Oprah: "That Handbag is Too Expensive For You"
Think Oprah Winfrey is immune to racism? Even the Queen of, well, everything has to deal with clueless people, probably more often than we think.
On a recent trip to Zurich, Switzerland to attend Tina Turner's wedding (and how cool is that?!), Oprah stopped by the Trois Pomme boutique on Bahnhofstrasse — the third most expensive street in the world — to pick up a new handbag.
"No. It's too expensive," the shopkeeper told Oprah when she asked to see the bag, priced at $40,000.
"One more time, I tried," Oprah told Entertainment Tonight. "I said, 'But I really do just want to see that one,' and the shopkeeper said, 'Oh, I don't want to hurt your feelings,' and I said, 'Okay, thank you so much. You're probably right, I can't afford it.' And I walked out of the store."
Let's refresh our memory here. Oprah made $77 million last year alone. She can afford that handbag. Though, ok, let's be honest, who pays $40K for a handbag? Even if you CAN afford it, isn't that money better spent elsewhere? Like saving a third world country? And yes, I know Oprah is one of the most charitable people on the planet, and yes, I know people can spend their money however they want. But really?!!!
Oprah said of the encounter, "I could've had the whole blow-up thing and thrown down the black card, but why do that? But that clearly is, you know… [Racism] still exists. Of course it does."
The Swiss folks are falling all over themselves to apologize. "[It was] obviously very regrettable," Zurich Tourism communications director Christian Trottmann said to CBS News. The tourism office tweeted, "This person acted terribly wrong."
The shop's owner Trudie Goetz, blamed the whole thing on a "misunderstanding," saying Oprah got the shoddy treatment because the assistant didn't recognize her.
But why does she have to recognize her to treat her with respect? Shouldn't everyone be treated the same?
Leave thoughts below. Did Oprah do the right thing? Or should she have thrown down the Black Card (I would have! She's way more zen than me).

Crap, that store owner just dug herself/himself into a deeper hole by saying that the clerk didn't recognize Oprah. "I'm sorry," but that person should be fired. And "I'm sorry," but that store owner needs an education and needs to pass that education along to his/her employees. There aren't many black people in Zurich or anywhere in Switzerland, though, so the unfortunate reality is that there are probably people in the country who have never even seen a black person. Oprah was probably the first to ever set foot in that store, but couldn't they tell (jut like they could a white person) that she was dressed well and, therefore, potentially capable of actually making a purchase?
Kris Bordessa ( August 9, 2013 at 2:37 pm
That we still are facing racism in this day and age is terrible, truly. But spending nearly $40,000 on a purse? That says a lot about our world as well.
Claire Walter August 9, 2013 at 2:55 pm
Oprah is classy. The clerk was clueless (and hopefully jobless now too).
Just read that there are apparently a lot of African asylum-seekers in Switzerland now. I was there just 3 years ago and don't recall seeing any Africans. What's distressing is that they're proposing restricting the asylum-seekers from public areas. I have always loved Switzerland, but if they do that, I'm done until they change that law.
David Budin August 9, 2013 at 4:30 pm
Oprah should have just bought the whole store.
Naomi McCann September 8, 2013 at 2:42 pm
Oprah did the right thing because the shop didn't get ANY of her money. Vote with your dollars.
Jane Boursaw September 8, 2013 at 9:24 pm
Yes! Yet another benefit to being rich. I wonder if that went through Oprah's mind when she walked out of the store, or if she was just being zen about it.

No. 8 Michigan State survives scare, beats Detroit Mercy
Rocket Watts scored a career-high 23 points and No. 8 Michigan State started out flat against Detroit Mercy but avoided a huge upset, winning 83-76 on Friday night.
The Spartans (4-0) were coming off a road win over No. 6 Duke earlier this week.
The Titans (0-1) led by five points midway through the second half of a closely contested game with 10 lead changes and nine ties. Detroit Mercy's last win over a Top 10 team on the road was in 1979 at Marquette with future NBA players, including Earl Cureton and the late Terry Duerod.
Detroit was led by Antoine Davis, who scored 24 points on 10-of-26 shooting while playing for his father, former Indiana coach Mike Davis. Matt Johnson scored a career-high 20 points, Marquell Fraser had 11 points and 12 rebounds and Bud Kuol fouled out with 12 points for the Titans.
Michigan State's Gabe Brown scored 16 points, Aaron Henry had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Joey Hauser added 10 points.
Detroit Mercy: The Horizon League team played its first game after having three canceled due to COVID-19 issues and can build a lot of confidence off this performance.
Michigan State: Coming off the school's first win at Duke, a letdown was not surprising. It still won't sit well with coach Tom Izzo.
Despite the lackluster win, Michigan State will likely avoid slipping in the Top 25.
Detroit Mercy plays at Notre Dame on Sunday night.
Michigan State hosts Western Michigan on Sunday night.

A business name, also known as a trading name, is simply a name or title under which a person, or other legal entity, trades.
Your business name not only identifies you to your customers, but also allows you to differentiate yourself from your competitors and enables your customers to make an emotional connection to your business and brand. For many businesses, the name is often the most valuable asset.
Remember, a business name is only used to identify your business. If you want exclusive rights to that name, you should consider protecting it with a trade mark.
If you register a business name, it will be connected to your Australian Business Number (ABN).
If you haven't decided on a business name yet, read our How do I choose a business name? page for some tips.
Do I need a business name?
When setting up your business, if you choose to operate as a sole trader, partnership or a trust, and not as a company, then you will have to register your business name with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC).
If your business name is your, or your partner's, first name and surname, then there is no need to register.
Sally Miller has a jewellery business named 'Sally Miller'. As her business is trading under her own name, she does not need to register for a business name.
Jodie Hart has a floral business named 'Hart Flowers'. As her business is not trading under her own name, she will need to register the business name 'Hart Flowers'.
If you're trading as a company, you'll need to register a company name when you register your company.

You may choose to keep one business name record (e.g. the one with the latest registration expiry) and allow your remaining business names to lapse by not paying the renewal fee.
If your business had an identical name as another business operating in another state or territory, ASIC will provide additional information on the public register to differentiate affected businesses. This may be the state or territory your business name was first registered in. This identifier doesn't form part of your business name, but is used to allow people to distinguish between identical business names on the public register.
If you have multiple different business names, or also have a registered company, you are now able to align the renewal dates for those registrations. If you have multiple principal places of business across Australia, ASIC will notify you of which address it intends to use as the principal place of business for sending documents. You may nominate an alternative address for service through ASIC.

You don't know what manna is? That's cool - the Israelites didn't either. In fact, the word manna literally means "what is it?" In order for you to understand what manna means for you, you'll need to look through the lenses of the New Testament.
John 6 : 5 7 Jesus makes the bold statement "whoever feeds on me will live because of me" ..... Ok it's not only a bold statement, but also kind of creepy. Why we would feed on you Jesus? You make us sound like parasites.
So obviously they get super excited, like "OMG gimme this bread!" (mild paraphrasing.) To which Jesus drops one of the most radical statements he's going to make in the whole gospel: "I AM the bread of life." Ok, it might not seem that radical to you. But let's now rewind back a few hundred years (over 1000 actually) to the Israelites and manna they were talking about.
To alleviate their hangriness, God literally rains down bread from heaven and calls it "manna". He sends it every day for 40 years, and it doesn't run out until they get to the Promised Land.
So in John 6, Jesus picks up this whole situation and paints a brilliant picture of our lives. We get SAVED from the slavery of sin, and LEAD toward our Promised Land (Heaven - yay.) But there's this big, fat space called Life in between. And while we're on that journey we're going to need something that keeps us from running out of steam, getting discouraged, and basically giving up on our faith altogether.
FYI: The something you need is Jesus.
Don't eat the paper - that would be next level vegan - it's about consuming his words. Devouring them. Chewing on them. Ingesting them into your spirit. Why the word? Because Jesus is the Word of God.
"So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness."
Just as the manna was something physical that the Israelites could hold in their hands and gain strength from by consuming it, so is that bible on your bedside table or shoved on the bookcase.
It's not the leather-bound book that gives you life and strength - it's the words on that paper.
The bible is the heart and thoughts of God wrapped up in written form. From Genesis to Revelation, it's the written revelation of Christ. The Old Testament points toward Jesus, and the New testament points back to him. Hold it in your hands, and gain life from the only Words that will never pass away.
Feed your soul with the Word of God, and you'll truly come alive. Whoever feeds on Him, lives because of Him.

Iga Swiatek Lightened The Load
1:42 PM EDT on September 9, 2022

By Giri Nathan
FLUSHING, N.Y. — There are a lot of finer details to appreciate in Iga Swiatek's performance on Thursday, as she won her U.S. Open semifinal over Aryna Sabalenka 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to extend the best season in recent WTA history. There's the way she dug her two-handed backhand out of the corner with Djokovician flexibility, or blocked back would-be winners with neatly angled stabs. There's her ability to grind her way through an improbable win when her A-game is nowhere in the vicinity, rallying back from two broken service games in the deciding set. And (because you're reading this website) we must also hail the world No. 1's groundbreaking honesty when it comes to the importance of No. 2:
Q: I was seeing tonight that the bathroom was a good place to go, because the both of you went in there and played pretty well after coming back. What did you tell yourself while you were in there?
A: It's more what I did.
Q: OK, uh, sorry about that.
A: I kind of needed to go. Um ... but, yeah, well .... for sure I felt lighter. Um ... just, you know .... sorry that's disgusting. [crowd cheering]
Recently the tennis bathroom break has come under scrutiny as a potentially underhanded momentum breaker, or opportunity for self–pep talks in the mirror. Swiatek, who openly discussed the difficulty of playing through PMS last season, dropped another a truth bomb: She just had to go!!! Finally one of this sport's many mysterious bathroom breaks has been confirmed as legitimate.
Swiatek had a shaky summer by the impossible standards she set this spring, and complained about the Wilson ball used during the American hard court swing, which has a tighter weave to its felt and moves more quickly through the air than she might prefer. Still, she's headed to the U.S. Open final against Ons Jabeur, the second-best player of the year, bringing an apt conclusion to the 2022 majors. By Defector editorial standards, Swiatek's season can now be deemed genuinely historic, as it involves a 37-match win streak, a speedy adaptation to hard-court dominance, a French Open title defense, and radical poop transparency.

bathroom breaks,
iga swiatek,


If you want to rebuild your coils yourself, you'll need supplies. We stock A1 kanthal resistance wire in a range of gauges. The finer the wire, the higher the resistance but also the more fragile the wire becomes. Typically vapers use finer gauges for standard resistance builds and thicker gauges for lower resistance builds; however, some users may wish to plait finer wire to create lower resistance builds from it with increased contact area.
It is recommended you heat your wires and wicks prior to use to with e-liquid to ensure that they are as clean as possible to ensure you get the fullest flavour available.
N.B. Please not that any multiple of wicks or wire will be provided in a continuous length unless requested otherwise, so if you order 2 x 1m of Wire, it will be provided in a single 2m length.

Q: Help me optimize this average calculation snippet Is it possible to speed up this snippet?
firstSample and lastSample is the part of the array I'm interested in this iteration. It's when this interval reaches > 3000 that I get a noticeable slowdown. The _average array can contain 6-60 million int values.
minY and maxY is the result I use after this calculation is completed.
int minY = Int32.MaxValue;
int maxY = Int32.MinValue;
int Y = 0;
int sample = firstSample + 1;

while (sample <= lastSample)
{
       Y = _average[sample];
       minY = Math.Min(Y, minY);
       maxY = Math.Max(Y, maxY);
       sample++;
}

A: The _average[sample] expression is a huge bottleneck, since it contains an implicit bounds check on each iteration. Use a pointer to the "_average" array (and the unsafe keyword). Then avoid calling any functions, so get rid of the Math.Min/Max calls and do that checks yourself.
Without any compiler at my hands right now, I think this is how it should look:
unsafe
{
    fixed ( int* paverage = _average )
    {
        int* p = paverage + firstSample + 1;
        for ( int sample = firstSample+1 ; sample <= lastSample ; sample++ )
        {
            if ( *p < minY )
                minY = *p;
            if ( *p > maxY )
                maxY = *p;
            p++;
        }
    }
}

Then finally, since "sample" is not actually used in the loop, you can change it to a loop variable that counts down to zero, so that the loop termination check is done against a constant (zero) instead of a variable.

A: Unsafe code would allow you to use pointers to index the array, as the JIT compiler will be unable to remove the bounds check in this particular case. Look here on how to do that.
You might also try inlining the Min/Max calls yourself, but there's a good chance the JIT is already doing that for you.
Finally, it's fairly easy to parallelize this with the Parallel Extensions of .NET 4 (you can use the CTP for .NET 3.5). Just make sure you don't write to the min/max values from multiple threads at the same time. Don't lock on it either though, I would have a min/max value per thread and do a final compare between the min/max values of each thread/task when all threads are done.

A: You wrote the following in a comment:

I'm not sorting. Only finding the max and min of an interval. And the interval moves every 20ms

It seems that you actually want a moving minimum and moving maximum.
I believe that this can be done more efficiently than to re-search the entire interval each time, assuming that the interval moves only in one direction, and that there is significant overlap between subsequent intervals.
One way would be to keep a special queue, where every new element copies its value to every element in the queue that is bigger (for the moving minimum), e.g.:

(5 8 4 7 7 0 7 0 4 4 3 4 0 9 7 9 5 4 2 0)  ; this is the array
(4 4 4 4)  ; the interval is 4 elements long, and initialized to the minimum
           ; of the first 4 elements
  (4 4 4 7)  ; next step, note that the current minimum is always the first element
    (4 7 7 0)  ; now something happens, as 0 is smaller than the value before
    (4 7 0 0)  ; there are still smaller values ...
    (4 0 0 0)  ; and still ...
    (0 0 0 0)  ; done for this iteration
      (0 0 0 7)
        (0 0 0 0)  ; the 0 again overwrites the fatties before
          (0 0 0 4)
            (0 0 4 4)
              (0 3 3 3)  ; the 3 is smaller than the 4s before,
                         ; note that overwriting can be cut short as soon as a
                         ; value not bigger than the new is found
                (3 3 3 4)
                  (0 0 0 0)  ; and so on...

If you move by more than 1 element each time, you can first calculate the minimum of all new values and use that for the back-overwriting.
Worst case for this algorithm is when the array is sorted descendingly, then it is O(nm), where m is the interval length and n the array length.  Best case is when it is sorted descendingly, then it's O(n).  For the average case, I conject O(n log(m)).

A: You can use FOR is more speedy than while or use Parallel if you have 3.5+ framework

A: I'm going to stick my neck out and say No, I don't think there's any way to make that significantly faster (unless inlining the calls to Min and Max would help, but I expect the optimiser will take care of that).
But that said, if you're doing this multiple times on the same data, sorting the data (or the chunks of data you're dealing with each time) might make the whole process quicker.
It's slower to sort than to the find the minimum, but it's quicker to sort once than to find the minimum a thousand times.
(Forgive me if I'm teaching you to suck eggs here. 8-)

A: For one thing, I'd rewrite it as a simple for loop and avoid using a Pascal-cased local variable, including one with more scope than it needs:
int minY = int.MaxValue;
int maxY = int.MinValue;

for (int sample = firstSample + 1; sample <= lastSample; sample++)
{
    int y = _average[sample];
    minY = Math.Min(y, minY);
    maxY = Math.Max(y, maxY);
}

That's just to make it more familiar and conventional. The JIT knows about looping over arrays in certain situations, but I don't know whether it will help in this case - it could just check firstSample >= -1 &&  lastSample  < _average.length and then eliminate bounds checks, but I don't know if it does. Now, samples which are already in the current min/max range don't need any side effects, so let's get rid of the assignments in that case:
for (int sample = firstSample + 1; sample <= lastSample; sample++)
{
    int y = _average[sample];
    if (y < minY)
    {
        minY = y;
    }
    if (y > maxY)
    {
        maxY = y;
    }
}

I don't know whether or not that will help - and I suspect it won't, but it may be worth a try...
(As another answer said, this is a very easy operation to parallelise - it should improve the speed nearly linearly with CPU count, i.e. 2 processors ~= twice as fast etc, apart from the cache misses etc.)

A: You might try the for loop as others have suggested.
It'll need profiling, but you could also try eliminating method invocations and branching:
   Y = _average[sample];
   minY = minY + ((Y-minY) & (Y-minY)>>31);
   maxY = maxX - ((X-maxX) & (X-maxX)>>31);
   sample++;

Make these changes only if the performance gain is really critical for you, since the maintainability of the code degrades with similar constructs.

A: Use a for loop as others have said, but set it up so the comparison is to zero. This is a faster comparison in most implementations.

A: You could get rid of duplicate comparisons in situations where you find a new min.  If you set both your min/max to the first value, then if you find a new min, there is no reason to check if it is also a new max.  This is basically @Skeet's code with initialization and an extra 'else' statement.
int firstIndex = firstSample + 1;
if (firstIndex <= lastSample)
{
    minY = _average[firstIndex];
    maxY = minY;

    for (int sample = firstIndex + 1; sample <= lastSample; sample++)
    {
        int y = _average[sample];
        if (y < minY)
        {
            minY = y;
        }
        else if (y > maxY)
        {
            maxY = y;
        }
    }
}

, souvent abrégé Evangelion (ou parfois simplement Eva), est une série d'animation japonaise écrite et réalisée par Hideaki Anno et produite par le studio Gainax. Elle est composée de 26 épisodes et a été diffusée originellement au Japon d' à  sur la chaîne TV Tokyo avant d'être distribuée en VHS en France en  par Dynamic Visions.

La série connaît immédiatement un grand succès et est saluée pour la qualité de son animation et son scénario sophistiqué. Commençant comme un anime classique de mecha post-apocalyptique, Evangelion surprend le public en accordant une grande place à l'introspection des personnages et en abordant des thèmes comme la dépression et le suicide, chose jusque-là rare dans l'animation. Plébiscitée autant pour ses scènes d'action parfois très sanglantes que pour ses réflexions, la série a acquis au fil des années un statut d'icône culturelle majeure de l'animation japonaise dont elle est aujourd'hui considérée comme l'un des fleurons des années 1990.

Hideaki Anno réalise cette série comme thérapie alors qu'il est en pleine dépression. Les trois protagonistes principaux représentent chacun l'un des aspects par lesquels le réalisateur se définit à cette période. Neon Genesis Evangelion est reconnu pour avoir plusieurs niveaux de lectures. Mais l'anime reste une véritable critique du phénomène otaku auquel Anno s'identifie. D'ailleurs les Evas représentent le corps maternel où les enfants peuvent se réfugier et fuir la réalité du monde. C'est ce cheminement scénaristique et psychologique qui explique que de nombreux fans n'aient pas apprécié la fin originale.

En 1997, sort le film Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth, qui condense tous les épisodes de la série sauf les deux derniers, plus une partie inédite. La même année sort le film conclusif The End of Evangelion qui propose une version alternative aux deux derniers épisodes très controversés de la série. Une adaptation en manga a été réalisée par le co-créateur de la série Yoshiyuki Sadamoto et de multiples spin-off, jeux vidéo et produits dérivés voient le jour. En 2007 sort le premier film de la tétralogie Rebuild of Evangelion qui propose une version alternative de l'histoire.

Synopsis
En 2000, une gigantesque explosion se produit en Antarctique. Ce cataclysme, officiellement provoqué par la chute d'un astéroïde, entraîne une montée des eaux de plusieurs dizaines de mètres et dévaste une grande partie de la planète, provoquant la mort de deux milliards de personnes ainsi qu'une nouvelle guerre mondiale.

Quinze ans plus tard, l'humanité a surmonté cet événement dramatique désigné comme le « Second Impact » mais de mystérieuses créatures géantes, les Anges, font leur apparition et tentent de détruire Tokyo-3, la nouvelle capitale-forteresse du Japon. Pour les combattre, l'organisation secrète NERV a mis au point les « Evangelion » (ou « EVA »), des géants humanoïdes d'apparence mécanique.

Shinji Ikari, jeune garçon de , se rend à Tokyo-3 sur l'invitation de son père, directeur de la NERV, qu'il n'a pas revu depuis dix ans. Il est loin de se douter qu'il a été appelé pour piloter une EVA et prendre part au combat contre le « Troisième Ange ». Celui-ci n'est que le premier d'une longue série où il sera accompagné par Rei Ayanami, et plus tard Asuka Soryu Langley, et où chaque affrontement peut conduire à la disparition de l'humanité. Mais ils devront également régler leurs propres conflits intérieurs alors que la mystérieuse organisation SEELE, qui dirige secrètement la NERV, tente de mettre en place son « Plan de complémentarité de l'Homme » dont le but est de faire évoluer le genre humain vers un nouveau stade.

Univers et termes propres à Evangelion
 Second impact : Immense explosion qui eut lieu en 2000 en Antarctique et qui provoqua la mort d'environ 2 milliards de personnes, entre autres à cause de la montée des eaux qu'elle provoqua. Officiellement due à l'impact d'un astéroïde, cette catastrophe résulte en réalité d'une expérience scientifique de la NERV qui a provoqué le réveil d'Adam, le « premier Ange ».

 NERV (anciennement GEHIRN) : Organisme confidentiel dépendant de l'Organisation des Nations unies chargé de défendre l'Humanité contre les Anges grâce à des armes surpuissantes appelées « EVA ». Son quartier général se trouve dans le Geofront, une cavité sphérique de  de diamètre découverte en 2003 sous la ville de Hakone et sur lequel repose la nouvelle ville-forteresse de Tokyo-3. La NERV est en fait sous les ordres de la SEELE, une organisation secrète millénaire qui possède les « Manuscrits de la mer Morte », des textes prophétiques antérieurs à l'apparition de l'Homme sur Terre. En se basant sur ces textes, la SEELE tente de mettre en place le « Plan de Complémentarité de l'Homme » (par le biais d'un « Troisième impact ») dont la finalité est d'unir tous les êtres humains en une seule entité afin de faire évoluer l'Humanité vers un nouveau stade. La NERV est également derrière l'organisation factice Marduk chargée de sélectionner les pilotes d'EVA. La devise de la NERV est un vers du poète anglais Robert Browning : God's in his heaven, all's right with the world.

 Anges () : Monstres pouvant revêtir de multiples formes, de la créature géante au virus informatique en passant par l'apparence humaine. Leurs motivations sont inconnues mais leur cible est systématiquement le Geofront et plus précisément le Terminal Dogma, le secteur le plus profond et le plus secret du QG de la NERV. Ils tirent leur force de leur organe S² que la NERV tente de copier pour en équiper les EVAs. Ils peuvent communiquer entre eux par un processus de « contamination mentale » qui leur permet également parfois d'attaquer mentalement les pilotes d'EVA. Le nom « Ange » vient du grec ancien άγγελος (angelos) qui signifie « messager » ou «envoyé». C'est certainement en voulant insister sur ce sens plutôt que la connotation de créature céleste qu'Hideaki Anno utilise en japonais le mot , qui signifie « messager » ou « apôtre » plutôt que   qui signifie «ange», créature venant du paradis. De plus le mot apôtre, en grec ancien ἀπόστολος ( apostolos), signifie «envoyé» ou «chargé de mission».

 Adam et Lilith : Bien qu'ils soient désignés respectivement comme le premier et le deuxième Ange, leur nature n'a rien à voir avec celle des autres Anges. Arrivé sur Terre il y a des milliards d'années, Adam reposait dans une cavité souterraine proche du Pôle Sud appelée « Lune Blanche ». Lilith, elle, a été découverte dans la « Lune Noire » qui est ensuite devenu le Geofront. Adam est l'entité qui a engendré l'apparition des Anges alors que Lilith est celle qui a engendré l'apparition de l'humanité, c'est pourquoi les humains sont parfois désignés sous le terme de « Lilin » dans l'univers dEvangelion. Officiellement, c'est Adam qui est crucifié dans le Terminal Dogma et transpercé par une « Lance de Longinus », mais il est révélé dans la dernière partie de l'intrigue qu'il s'agît en réalité de Lilith. Adam, lui, a été régressé au stade d'embryon et est détenu par la SEELE. Lilith possède un étrange masque que la SEELE utilise comme emblème. Les produits dérivés de la série, et en particulier les jeux vidéo, donnent plus de renseignements sur l'origine cosmique de ces deux entités.

 Evangelion (EVA) : Nom des gigantesques humains de synthèse créés en laboratoire grâce aux recherches génétique de la NERV sur Adam. Bien que les EVA ont une apparence robotique, il s'agît de créatures organiques enveloppées d'une cuirasse protectrice qui permet de les contrôler. Les EVA sont utilisées par la NERV pour combattre les Anges. Chaque unité semble contenir une âme humaine et être pilotée par un adolescent () qui possède un lien particulier avec cette âme. Pour les contrôler, les pilotes revêtent une «  » et prennent place dans une , une capsule métallique introduite à la base de la nuque des EVA et servant de cockpit. Cette capsule est remplie d'un liquide orange appelé « LCL » dans lequel les pilotes peuvent respirer. Ce liquide, qui s'avère être le sang de Lilith, renforce le lien mental entre le pilote et l'EVA. Le « taux de synchronisation » mesure l'osmose entre le pilote et son EVA : plus la synchronisation est proche de 100 %, plus le pilote peut contrôler efficacement son Evangelion (mais il ressent aussi les blessures qui lui sont infligées). Les EVA possèdent des armes à distance et des armes pour le combat rapproché comme le . Au cours de l'intrigue, les ingénieurs de la NERV mettent au point le , un système simulant les ondes cérébrales d'un pilote qui permet de faire fonctionner une EVA sans pilote à l'intérieur. Il arrive parfois que les Evangelion entrent dans une rage folle et deviennent incontrôlables. Ces phases — dites de « Berserk » — sont entraînées par un danger imminent ou lorsque l'âme de l'EVA se révolte. Les EVA possèdent une réserve d'énergie très limitée leur permettant une autonomie de seulement cinq minutes (sauf en mode Berserk où elles semblent s'auto-alimenter d'une manière mystérieuse).

 AT-Field (pour  « Champ de la terreur absolue ») : Initialement présenté comme un simple bouclier de force protégeant les EVA et les Anges contre les attaques extérieures, l'AT-Field trouve dans le dénouement de la série une définition plus complexe. Il y est expliqué que tous les êtres vivants possèdent un AT-Field et qu'il s'agit d'une sorte de défense psychique érigée pour se protéger du monde. Mais en se protégeant ainsi de la proximité de l'autre dans ce qu'elle a de potentiellement douloureux (sentiments, relations, etc.), l'être humain est contraint à la solitude et à l'affrontement. La SEELE prévoit que, lors du « Troisième impact », les AT-Field de tous les humains disparaîtront, effaçant les limites de leurs corps matériels et les faisant fusionner en une seule entité. Ce terme, rapproché dans la série au dilemme du hérisson d'Arthur Schopenhauer, est l'une des clés permettant la compréhension de fond de Neon Genesis Evangelion.

 Personnages principaux

Il est choisi comme le Third Children (« Troisième Enfant ») et pilote l'EVA-01. Fils de Gendō et Yui Ikari, Shinji est un adolescent replié sur lui-même et incapable de communiquer avec les autres. Selon Hideaki Anno, Shinji est un garçon qui évite le contact avec son prochain, "il essaie de vivre dans un monde clos où son comportement le condamne, alors qu'il a abandonné toute tentative de se comprendre". Shinji évite le contact humain afin de ne pas blesser les autres ni être blessé soi-même, loin du héros typique de lanime. Il n'est pas convaincu de son rôle en tant que pilote et de ses capacités en tant que combattant.

Shinji a été abandonné par son père (Gendo) alors qu'il n'avait que quatre ans, peu après la mort de sa mère, trahison qui l'a profondément choqué et le conduit aujourd'hui à se considérer comme indésirable ; plusieurs fois il affirme que "personne ne l'aime, personne ne se soucie de lui". Il n'est pas en mesure d'accepter l'amour d'autrui, bien que son désir premier soit paradoxalement d'être accepté par d'autres personnes. Par conséquent, Shinji se préoccupe constamment de la perception qu'il donne aux autres, et parvient habituellement à la conclusion que tout le monde le déteste.

 Elle est désignée comme la First Children (« Premier Enfant »), pilote de l'EVA-00. Sa date de naissance est inconnue. Rei Ayanami est une fille très introvertie, taciturne et timide. Hideaki Anno décrit Rei comme une fille qui est consciente du fait qu'en cas de décès quelqu'un d'autre la remplacera, et n'apprécie donc pas particulièrement sa vie. Selon Anno, "sa présence, son existence - ostensible existence - est éphémère. Elle est une jeune fille très triste." Vivant chichement, elle estime "ne pas avoir besoin d'amis".

Rei dédie sa vie à la lutte pour protéger les humains, évoquant au hasard d'une conversation un "point de connexion entre elle-même et les autres". Cependant, derrière son attitude froide, elle souffre de solitude. La doubleuse anglaise du personnage, Amanda Winn-Lee, soutient qu'il est faux de dire que Rei est complètement dépourvue de personnalité comme on pourrait le penser au premier abord : il y a une petite étincelle d'humanité en elle, mais "assombrie par cet immense sentiment d'estime de soi négative et la conscience de sa nature consomptible". Selon Winn-Lee, bien qu'elle se sache effectivement remplaçable, elle reste "encore humaine". L'intrigue révélera par ailleurs que si elle est capable de ressentir des émotions, Rei ne sait en réalité pas comment les exprimer.

 Sélectionnée comme la Second Children (« Deuxième Enfant »), elle pilote l'unité EVA-02. Fille de Kyôko Langley Zeppelin et d'un père inconnu, son ascendance est à demi-Américaine, un quart Allemande et un quart Japonaise. Elle a vécu en Allemagne où elle a obtenu son diplôme universitaire à .

Asuka est une jeune fille fière, indépendante et apparemment très confiante. Elle regarde de haut ceux qui l'entourent et veut constamment être sous le feu des projecteurs. Contrairement à Shinji et Rei, elle est fière de son rôle en tant que pilote d'EVA, s'engageant dans les combats qui lui incombent avec enthousiasme. Son caractère fort, agressif et compétitif offre un contraste évident avec celui de Shinji ; cependant, elle souffre paradoxalement du même sentiment d'aliénation que lui : en effet, son caractère excessif cache un profond manque d'estime de soi provenant de la folie puis du suicide subséquent de sa mère, à la suite duquel Asuka s'est enfermée dans son orgueil comme moyen de surmonter cette perte tragique. Par conséquent, elle n'accepte aucune aide ou conseil de la part des autres, préférant au contraire être constamment aux prises avec ses proches. Il apparaît par ailleurs qu'elle est tourmentée par la solitude, causée entre autres par la relation détachée qu'elle entretient avec sa belle-mère, avec laquelle son père s'est remarié à la mort de sa première épouse. Tout ceci explique pourquoi elle a décidé, dès son plus jeune âge, d'être «forte» et de vivre sans dépendre de qui que ce soit d'autre.

 Désigné comme le Fifth Children (« Cinquième Enfant »), il se révèle également être le  Ange. Personnage crucial de la série, il n'apparaît pourtant que dans un seul épisode au terme duquel il est tué. Kaworu est digne, intelligent, aimable, honnête et simplement sympathique. Pendant son bref séjour à la NERV, il parvient à se lier d'amitié avec Shinji à qui il avoue bientôt son empathie sincère en tant que parent inter-espèce. Après un moment d'intense remise en question, entre la fidélité à son nouvel (et seul) ami et sa mission de pilote, Shinji est invité par Kaworu à l'éliminer pour le bien de l'Homme, tout en le remerciant de lui avoir fait comprendre ce qu'est l'âme et l'amour humain. Shinji finit par obtempérer, en reniant toutes ses croyances et tous ses sentiments, mais il en gardera une rancœur totale pour son père qui l'a conduit à prendre cette décision.

 Analyse de l'œuvre
 Références culturelles
Evangelion a de nombreuses références à la religion, la psychologie et d'autres anime, comme Mazinger Z par Go Nagai. Plusieurs citations de la série sont à trouver dans les livres de Ryu Murakami, La Variété Andromède par Michael Crichton et L'Invasion divine par Philip K. Dick, Hitcher, Le Prisonnier, Les Sentinelles de l'air, Ultraman et Ultraseven. Hideaki Anno a aussi été influencé par le roman Les Enfants d'Icare d'Arthur C. Clarke et le livre de Cordwainer Smith.

La série est inspirée et influencée par d'autres séries d'animés précédents telles que Mobile Suit Gundam et Space Runaway Ideon. En outre, un grand nombre des éléments d'''Evangelion sont déjà présents dans la précédente série réalisée par Hideaki Anno : Nadia, le secret de l'eau bleue.

 La religion
Il y a beaucoup de références religieuses dans Evangelion, dirigées en particulier au christianisme et judaïsme. Par exemple, sont très influents pour l'anime certaines versions gnostiques de la Création, le Midrach, le Zohar et d'autres textes kabbalistiques sur le livre de la Genèse, et parfois, sont utilisés en références des textes sacrés du zoroastrisme. Ces références sont retravaillées et modifiées dans la série afin de créer une nouvelle « mythologie », mais maintiennent toujours un certain lien avec la tradition d'origine. Kazuya Tsurumaki, cependant, a dit que les références religieuses dans la série sont conçues pour rendre « intéressant et exotique » l'anime.

Il y a de nombreuses références à la religion chrétienne, qui ont un rôle central dans la série : des allusions visuelles à la croix et la crucifixion sont très fréquentes, ainsi que des références à la Lance de Longinus, aux manuscrits de la mer Morte, aux rois mages, à Adam et à Lilith ; également, les noms des anges sont tous tirés de l'Ancien Testament. D'autre part, l'Evangelion semble être liée à la légende médiévale du Golem, et le «Plan de Complémentarité de l'Homme» présente des similitudes avec le concept kabbalistique de Tikkoun olam.

 Psychanalyse
Il y a de nombreuses références dans Evangelion à des concepts freudiens tels que les libido et destrudo, également pertinentes pour le film The End of Evangelion, comme le montrent les musiques Thanatos—If I can't be yours et Komm, süsser Tod. En fait, Shinji, comme en témoigne le climax du film, présente un conflit « libido-destrudo » continu. En outre, Evangelion cite le concept du dilemme du hérisson par Arthur Schopenhauer, et dans l'épisode final de la série, Hideaki Anno cite Sigmund Freud et Jacques Lacan.

 Influence sur l'animation japonaise
Neon Genesis Evangelion est resté de nombreuses années après sa première diffusion l'une des séries animées les plus réussies de l'animation japonaise. Selon Hiroki Azuma, l'arrivée de Evangelion en 1995 a provoqué une rupture dans le domaine de l'animation japonaise, et la série est restée inégalée pendant 10 années. Azuma a déclaré, en outre, que, après le boom de l'intérêt pour Evangelion, la culture otaku est devenue un phénomène social de masse.

Selon Keisuke Iwata de TV Tokyo, la propagation mondiale de l'animation japonaise a considérablement et rapidement été élargie grâce à Evangelion. Explicitement ou implicitement, de nombreuses séries ultérieures évoquent Evangelion : cette influence est visible dans les œuvres ultérieures telles que serial experiments lain, RahXephon, Texhnolyze, Gasaraki, Boogiepop Phantom, Blue Submarine N°6, Martian Successor Nadesico, Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure, Argento Soma, Generator Gawl et Pilot Candidate. Ruriko Tsukushima de Droplet a été créé sous l'influence de Rei Ayanami, et Ruri Hoshino (Nadesico) est une parodie de Rei.

Il y a des citations et des hommages à Evangelion en FLCL, Abenobashi Magical Shopping Street, Keroro, mission Titar, Koi Koi Seven, Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu et Hayate the Combat Butler. Le groupe Fightstar a utilisé des images et des thèmes de Evangelion pour l'album Grande Unification.

 L'arrivée d'Evangelion en France
En 1996, la série bat son plein au Japon ; elle avait été repérée dès la fin 1995 par l'éditeur vidéo Dynamic Visions (agent franco-belge de la société japonaise Dynamic Planning) qui en fait l'acquisition au début de l'année 1996. En , Dynamic Visions commence l'édition de la série en neuf VHS, en version originale sous-titrée français (VOSTF), qui sera un succès chez les connaisseurs. Parallèlement, la série est diffusée à la télévision pour la première fois à partir de 1997, sur la chaîne câblée C : en VOSTF.

À partir de , l'éditeur de bandes dessinées Glénat publie le manga Evangelion traduit en français. À la fin 1998, la chaîne cryptée Canal+ souhaite diffuser la série, et à cette occasion, Dynamic Visions fait réaliser un doublage français par le studio Chinkel. La conformation des masters se fait au laboratoire Vectracom avec l'incrustation des titrages français par-dessus les inscriptions japonaises originales et le remplacement des nombreux cartons (notamment la pléthore de l'épisode 14). La série, pour la première fois en VF, a donc été diffusée sur Canal+ entre 1998 et 1999. Cette diffusion permit de populariser encore plus la série auprès du grand public.

En 2000, Dynamic Visions édite la dernière version VHS de la série sous la forme d'un coffret de 7 vidéo-cassettes en version française. Entre 1999 et 2003, la série (toujours en VF) a été rediffusée sur les chaînes câblées Mangas et AB1. De 2002 à 2003, Dynamic Visions édite la série en six DVD, en VOST et VF. Cette sortie connaît un bug audio sur l'un des épisodes du volume 2. La qualité d'image, déjà mauvaise en VHS, s'avèrera donc inférieure par rapport aux autres séries sorties en DVD à la même époque, malgré une remastérisation effectuée par l'éditeur pour la diffusion télévisée sur Canal+. En , l'éditeur vidéo Manga Vidéo (label anglo-américain distribué en France par Pathé Vidéo) acquiert les droits des deux films dEvangelion, et les édite en DVD, en VF et VOSTF. Cette édition a été très critiquée, notamment car pour la VF, Manga Vidéo n'a pas employé les comédiens qui avaient précédemment travaillé sur le doublage français de la série TV, et pour la VOSTF la traduction et le sous-titrage sont de mauvaise qualité.

En 2003, à la suite d'un litige, la firme Dynamic Visions se sépare de Dynamic Planning, et la deuxième met fin à l'utilisation de sa marque par l'éditeur franco-belge. L'éditeur change donc son nom en Dybex. En 2005, Dybex rachète les droits de la série Evangelion, et en , réédite les précédents DVD de 2003 avec l'image originale. Dybex a sorti courant 2007 une nouvelle édition dEvangelion en DVD, « Platinum », utilisant de nouvelles bandes, remasterisées pour la sortie des DVD au Japon. En 2007, la série est à nouveau diffusée sur Mangas et AB1.  connaît la sortie de la version Director's Cut d'Evangelion chez Dybex. En 2009, le  de la tétralogie Rebuild of Evangelion, Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, arrive en France. En 2010, le  de la tétralogie, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, sort en France par le biais de Dybex, en DVD et Bluray. Le , Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, est sorti en 2013.

En 2018, Netflix annonce lors d'une conférence à Tokyo que la série ainsi que deux films seront diffusés sur sa plateforme. Evangelion sera accessible au printemps 2019.

Le , Evangelion ainsi que Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth et The End of Evangelion sont publiés sur Netflix.

YANGON, Burma (AP) — President Barack Obama is pressing for greater press freedoms in Burma and China but is sidestepping questions about the status of a New York Times reporter whom U.S. prosecutors want to testify in a leak investigation.
Obama says he has been "pretty blunt and pretty frank" with leaders in China and Burma that societies that repress journalists ultimately repress their people as well.
He said he could not comment specifically on the case of former CIA operative Jeffrey Sterling, who prosecutors allege disclosed classified information about Iran operations to journalist James Risen. They have said Risen's testimony is integral to their case.
Obama said the U.S. protects press freedoms. He reiterated remarks by Attorney General Eric Holder that no journalists will go to jail for doing their job.

"And our fourth line will be very hard to play against. As it stands today after 6 months of defaulting on your credit cards you have no option but to endure the collection agencies and a 7 year hit on your credit report as opposed to a homeowner defaulting on second loans. Why did congress not add a recourse clause to the recently passed credit card act? What good is the credit card act if there is no recourse to recapture the abusive penalties? All debt today already collected and paid, charged off or still being paid should be recalculated going back 10 to 15 years using the new rules for a new outstanding balance. After crediting back to the consumer the years of bad abuses then set up a program for each individual to pay off the debt based on the monthly payment he/she can afford.

And by that we meant they went to Thailand and rented a speedboat. After bumbling around for a week in what we expect was a hilarious buddy comedy type way, they accidentally landed in Vietnam. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to pony up 10 Gs for a couple of jobless retards, so they wound up spending 44 weeks in Vietnamese jail.

I think Bell is out and Pavelski's in for now to boost the offense a bit (even though Bell should be the better scorer).I'm enjoying watching the locals here go mental and wondering how they could be doing so poorly against Detroit,.

supermike80 had the most liked content!
Can'r remember...was lip synching always part of SNL? Or were musical acts usually doing their own singing.... It's just dumb to watch acts "sing" in these situations.
No different that the boy bands off the 90's or whenever that was. Such a formula...Dress them generally the same, but have each look slightly different. So the girls an go.."I like the white haired one, or I like the blue haired one, etc etc etc. Women have in some way dug gay or effeminate guys forever..to a point. Nothing new here really. I still believe as a rule chicks dig guys.....they might liek this little feathery stuff for fun, but when it comes down to it, they still want a MAN.
With only 6 episodes left, while yeah it was good and all..they better get to cleaning everything up and fast. I see another LOST finale on the horizon here.
80k Friday night. I feel bad for the contestants who make it then have to go up against this guy.

And convey that the Japanese ever to be able to give back, we have learned to Asia in the future. In order to send me a society smooth in emerging Asia, we will continue to support the society through the tow truck.

We have a 2008 Terra LX. When hooked up to city water we get a rotten egg smell from the bathroom faucet. The kitchen is fine. I have an external charcoal filter as well as the built in charcoal filter in the motorhome. It's a bit of over kill but we still notice the smell when running the bathroom faucet. It's not the local water because we've smelled it everywhere we've been. I tried disconnecting the hose, adding a little bit of bleach into it and then reattaching it. I could smell the bleach for a brief time but soon the rotten egg small came back. As I said, the kitchen water is great, pure tasting and no smell. Any ideas ?
I would suggest taking the Anode Rod out of the hot water heater... I'm sure you will get those that will tell you to replace it... It will be a nut type item on your water heater that seems to just be a cap.
You can take it out and cut off the road and use the same cap or get a new cap for the whole. Our buy a new one!
I would suspect the water heater. If you have an anode rod, they can cause that kind of smelly water when they need to be replaced. Replace the anode if you have one (Suburban wh, if Atwood it should NOT have an anode), and/or flush the water heater good, then see if it improves.
I don't know what the problem is but you have a 10 gallon Atwood LPG/Electric hot water heater which has an all aluminum tank with no anode requirement. Check with Atwood for adverse effects using an anode.
We have a 6 Gallon Atwood with no anode. We get the smell with cold water as well and zero smell with hot or cold water in the kitchen even though the water heater is closer to the kitchen faucet than the bathroom's. Initially there is no smell when we turn on hot or cold in the bathroom but as it runs it gradually begins to smell, even if only the cold is turned on. Guess I'll have to trace the plumbing and try to figure out what's going on. I notice when looking in the wet bay that two lines still have pink rv antifreeze even though we've flushed all faucets and the shower weeks ago. I suspect these are just lines going to the low point drain so when the polar vortex leaves us here on South Padre I'll check that.
Your system needs to be sanitized. Do a search on "sanitizing" and you'll find numerous threads.

Will my child or loved one be interviewed?
Whether or not your child or loved one participates in an interview depends on if there is a previously completed assessment of intelligence and measure of sociobehavioral functioning. Sociobehavioral functioning refers to an assessment of the skills and abilities associated with or necessary for independent living. If your child or loved one has never been tested or has not been tested in a long time, he or she will need to participate in an interview and participate in psychological testing. If he or she has a current assessment, no further interview or testing is necessary. Eligibility for services can be determined by reviewing previous test results.
