The Home Depot Foundation will donate the money to the Home Builders Institute, which will focus on training veterans, U.S. Army soldiers who will soon return to civilian life, high school students and disadvantaged youth, USA Today reported.
In an effort to help stem the labor shortage the construction industry has been facing, Home Depot has announced that it plans to donate $50 million to train 20,000 people in construction over the next 10 years.
"It's important that we support the trades, said Home Depot CEO Craig Menear.
According to the Home Builders Institute (HBI), which currently trains around 3,500 construction workers each year, finding adequate funding is a frequent struggle. Although HBI does receive money from the Department of Labor, states and local workforce boards, CEO John Courson said the Institute must constantly work to renew grants. Courson said the funds from the Home Depot initiative will increase its number of certified graduates annually by 2,000, USA Today reported.
"This is going to take us to a new level," said Courson.
What's more, the funding will allow HBI to train even more soldiers—right now, it trains about 120 soldiers annually, but with funding from the Home Depot, HBI will be able to train an additional 1,500 each year, USA Today reported.
"[The soldiers] love to work with their hands, they work well in a team and they're used to being outdoors and in the elements," said Courson.
According to Menear, soldiers and veterans will account for close to 15,000 of the 20,000 newly trained workers from the program. This goes hand-in-hand with the company's efforts to provide housing to veterans with a donation of $250 million through 2020, USA Today reported.
To begin, the Home Depot funds will go toward a class of 40 soldiers from Fort Stewart in Georgia and Fort Bragg in North Carolina who will graduate in March 2018 with instruction and hands-on training in carpentry, framing, plumbing and electrical work. From there, they will likely move on to apprenticeships or jobs in the construction industry, USA Today reported.
•	Lowe's recently announced a program to provide $2,500 to employees in Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Denver and Richmond, Va. who would like to take an online construction class in an effort to explore other career options, USA Today reported.

Vatican: China best example of church's social doctrine
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 02/12/2018 @ 10:17 am In APP Frontpage,Faith,Front Page,Politics,U.S.,World | No Comments
WASHINGTON – Conservative Catholics are expressing shock at Pope Francis' zeal in embracing the totalitarian government of China by first agreeing to replace underground church leaders with state-chosen hacks and now with a top Vatican official saying "those who best realize the social doctrine of the church are the Chinese."
Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, an Argentinian, is Pope Francis' chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences told Vatican Insider that China is exercising global moral leadership in the defense of human dignity.
On a recent trip, Sorondo said: "I found an extraordinary China; what people do not know is that the central Chinese principle is 'work, work, work.' … As Paul said: 'He who does not work does not eat.' You do not have shantytowns; you do not have drugs; young people do not have drugs. There is a positive national consciousness — they want to show that they have changed; they already accept private property."
Continuing in his lavish praise of Chinese-style Communism, Sorondo said "they [the Chinese] seek the common good, subordinate things to the general good." China, he added, has "defended the dignity of the human person" and, in the area of climate change, is "assuming a moral leadership that others have abandoned."
Contrasting China with the U.S. under President Trump, the bishop asked, "How is it possible that oil multinationals manage Trump?"
"The Last Pope?" is a documentary from WND that travels to Rome, Geneva, Belfast and the U.S. to discover the story of venerated Irish prophet St. Malachy, whose Prophecy of the Popes predicts a time of vast biblical significance. Available at the WND Superstore.
The comments come in the wake of the Vatican's move, following 18 months of negotiations with leaders in Beijing to plot a normalization of relations, to replace two loyal, Chinese bishops with two state-backed bishops who had been excommunicated when they were consecrated illicitly. The two that have been reportedly asked to step aside are 88-year-old Peter Zhuang Jianjian and 70-year-old Joseph Guo Xijin. Replacing them are two bishops of the Chinese Politburo – Huang Bingzhang and Vincent Zhan Silu, handpicked by the Chinese Communist Party.
Criticism within the church has been heavy.
Cardinal Joseph Zen, the 86-year-old retired bishop of Hong Kong, wrote an open letter posted on Facebook, saying the Vatican is "selling out" struggling Catholics. The Vatican, he said, has deferred to a "fake" Chinese structure.
Steve Mosher, a Catholic with decades of experience in China, including being tossed in jail, asked: "Why should the Catholic Church participate in its own dissolution and destruction? Why would we do this?" He told EWTN's Raymond Arroyo that the Vatican's negotiating strategy is "simply negotiating the surrender of the underground Church" to a false church created by China's atheists.
As to the recent comments by Sorondo, Catholic author Paul Kengor wrote: "That, of course, is a jaw-dropper. You couldn't find a radical leftie at the Huffington Post or even The Nation who would dare drop that whopper."
Kengor points out that China accounts for half the world's female suicides and still practices population control and forced abortion.
"Let's be candid about this, as this is a dire moment that demands frank talk," writes Kengor. "These are the thoughts of a person who is ideologically unhinged. Pope Francis has warned of the corrupting force of ideology; our always-candid pope condemns ideological 'fanatics.' Well, here's a bishop close to Francis whose ability to comprehend reality has been corrupted by ideology."
Kengor quotes George Neumayr, former editor of Catholic World Report, as telling him: "I wrote about the pope's capitulation to the Chinese communists in my book, 'The Political Pope.' The most recent developments were telegraphed by the pope years ago. I also wrote about the bishop. … He has been a Vatican gateway for the (George) Soros crowd and very much reflects the pope's thinking. He is the one who set up the Bernie Sanders invite to the Vatican and made a point of telling everyone that Sanders was the only presidential candidate invited. … His academy is overflowing with socialists and communists."
Kengor, who calls Sorondo, "an old Argentinian friend of Francis who's part of his inner circle," believes the pope is deeply influenced by his ideas.

← Unrest Grows in Iran – But is the Regime in Danger?
Taliban Victory – the Pakistani Angle →
Does killing of Iranian dissident foreshadow what is to come for others?
Posted on August 15, 2021 by jonathanspyer
Jerusalem Post, 13/8
Mousa Babakhani, a leading figure in an Iranian opposition party, was found murdered last Saturday in a hotel room in the Iraqi Kurdish capital city of Erbil. Babakhani was a member of the central committee of the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (KDP-I). His body, which according to a statement released by the party, bore 'signs of torture', was found in a room at the Guli Suleimani hotel in the city.
According to a KDP-I statement, Babakhani had disappeared the previous Thursday. The Kurdish Human Rights organization Hengaw reported that Babakhani was lured to the hotel by an old acquaintance who had arrived from Iran. There he was apprehended by two regime operatives. The three individuals suspected of the killing then succeeded in leaving Erbil. The KDP-I in its statement blamed the 'Islamic Republic' (of Iran) for the murder.
Babakhani's killing has sent shockwaves through the community of Iranian exiles in Erbil, both Kurdish and non-Kurdish. It is the second such killing of an Iranian dissident on Iraq soil in the last month. There are fears that it could herald a new hunting season of the Iranian regime against its opponents resident in northern Iraq.
On July 14, in the Zhaleh neighborhood of Suleimania city, the prominent Iranian Kurdish civil society and environmentalist activist Behrouz Rahimi was shot dead by armed assailants. CCTV footage of the killing shows a black BMW with no license plate and tinted windows approaching Rahimi. 21 shots were fired. Rahimi died of his wounds later in the hospital. Rahimi, who left Iran in 2012, was associated with the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK). This movement is the Iranian franchise of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK).
Rahimi's widow, Zoleykha Nasseri, herself a prominent Iranian opposition activist, told the Middle East Eye website that her husband had been approached in recent weeks by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence, which had asked him to begin cooperating with it. When he refused, he was threatened with death. On July 14, it appears that the threat was carried out.
Suleimania is located close to the Iraq-Iran border. It is under the control of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which maintains ambiguous relations with the Iranian regime. Harassment and threats to Iranian opposition activists are common in this area. Activists accuse the authorities of silence, and on occasion of cooperation with the Iranian regime. In 2020, Mustafa Salimi, an Iranian Kurdish activist, escaped from jail in Iran, smuggled himself across the border into Kurdish northern Iraq, and asked for asylum from the Kurdish Regional Government. Instead, Salimi was handed back to the Iranian authorities, who reportedly subsequently executed him.
Previous killings generally thought to have been carried out by the Iranian regime have taken place in the remote and lawless border area between northern Iraq and Iran. On July 17, 2018, the body of Eghbal Moradi, a well known Kurdish activist and the father of an executed political prisoner, was discovered outside the village of Penjwen, close to the border. He had been shot dead.
The Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) has issued a statement accusing the Iranian regime of responsibility for the murder of Rehbouz Rahimi.
The killing of Mousa Babakhani has particularly shocked Iranian Kurds because it took place in Erbil, previously regarded as a safer area for the exiles than the towns and cities closer to the Iraq- Iran border. While the PUK further east is close to Iran, the Kurdish Democratic Party, which controls the Erbil area, maintains links with Turkey and with the US. Erbil has over recent years emerged as one of the safest areas in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which itself is the most secure part of Iraq. The fact that the Iranian regime appears on this occasion to have been able to send two of its operatives to penetrate the area, murder one of its opponents, and then leave without a trace is thus an ominous development.
Fars News, a website associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), described Mousa Babakhani as 'leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran terrorist group, which is supported by the Mossad.'
A KDPI member interviewed by the Jerusalem Post, meanwhile, asserted that the organization has proof that the assassination was carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), and added that the organization is currently assisting security authorities in investigating the murder.
A second member of the organization, contacted by the Jerusalem Post, said that the assassination has meant that KDPI members are now wary of coming to Erbil. 'In this situation with all the threats against members It's not wise. In the past we were worried about going to Suleimaniah as there's many regime agents everywhere, in terminals, in bakeries, in groceries, markets, restaurants and tea houses, hotels… Now we are afraid of coming out of our base and going to Erbil for a few hours trip. Now we have to worry about Erbil too.'
The activist noted that online harassment of opposition activists and their families by regime elements has increased in recent weeks. 'We get threat messages, they threaten our family members in Iran,' he told the Jerusalem Post. ' The Etela'at (Ministry of Intelligence) calls our families in Urmia, Bukan, Mahabad, Kermanshah, Sanandaj, Marivan, Saqqez,… they monitor Whatsapp calls and Instagram. They threaten us by abusing our female family members and relatives.'
A prominent Iranian opposition journalist resident in Erbil, Ali Javanmardi, has tweeted photographs of an individual he claims is one of the killers of Mousa Babakhani.
Javanmardi, with 76.5000 Twitter followers, is an influential voice in Iranian opposition circles. He identified one of the killers as Sarmad Abdi. Abdi, a Kurd, hails from Ilam, in Iran. This area is close to Kermanshah, where Babkhani was from, leading to speculation that Abdi was the 'friend' of the victim's who led him to the hotel. In his tweet, Javanmardi noted that an unidentified organization would offer $30,000 for information identifying Abdi's location.
The campaign of intimidation and murder against Iraqi opponents of the Shia militias and the Iranian interest has received some attention in western media in recent months. The assassination of prominent Iraqi political analyst Hisham al-Hashimi by the Ktaeb Hizballah militia on July 6, 2020 in Baghdad was the subject of broad international coverage. By contrast, the killings of two Iranian Kurdish dissidents in northern Iraq over the last month have been entirely ignored in the west. The murders of Rahimi and Babakhani, however, form an element in a pattern of increased Iranian assertion across a number of files and locations in the region in recent weeks. Iranian oppositionists, who had grown accustomed to seeing Erbil and northern Iraq as a relatively safe space, will be waiting in coming weeks to see if this perception must now be entirely revised. Two questions arise: will the discernible pattern of greater Iranian assertion currently under way include a campaign of executions against stateless Iranian oppositionists and dissidents in northern Iraq? And will anyone be held to account for these killings?

GoFundMe Defendant Sentenced to Court-Supervised Drug Treatment Program
Joel Bewley April 12, 2019
Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced that one of three defendants charged in the GoFundMe campaign that misled donors with a fictitious story received a sentence today that will allow him to avoid incarceration if he successfully completes a New Jersey Superior Court-sponsored drug treatment program.
Under the terms of the sentence, Johnny Bobbitt Jr., 36, of Philadelphia, was placed on special probation for up to five years while he fulfills the requirements of the drug court program.
Participants in the program must obtain employment and adhere to a tightly-structured regimen of treatment and recovery services, are frequently tested for drug use, and must satisfy other conditions as well.
"Mr. Bobbitt was an instrumental part of the fraudulent campaign; indeed he was the face of it," Prosecutor Coffina said. "He admittedly promoted and perpetuated the false narrative that he had given his last $20 to his co-conspirator Kate McClure when she had run out of gas on the side of the highway, with the intent to manipulate the goodwill of others to obtain money for himself. That said, there is no denying that Johnny Bobbitt has struggled with addiction, and that his addiction was a factor in his criminal conduct. The proposed agreed-upon sentence, in the State's view, provides sufficient accountability to Johnny Bobbitt for his active role in this fraud through the vigorous standards of a drug court probation, with the certainty of a five-year state prison sentence if he does not adhere to those standards and take advantage of this opportunity. This sentence affords him the chance to turn his life around. We wish him well in the program."
Bobbitt was charged late last year, along with co-defendants Katelyn McClure of Bordentown and Mark D'Amico of Florence, with concocting a feel-good story that compelled more than 14,000 kind-hearted individuals ultimately to contribute more than $400,000 to their cause.
Bobbitt pled guilty in March to Conspiracy to Commit Theft by Deception (Second Degree) before the Hon. Christopher J. Garrenger, J.S.C., who oversees the drug court program in the Burlington County vicinage. Judge Garrenger told Bobbitt today after imposing the sentence that he looks forward to working with him in drug court, and also stated from the bench that he considers it to be a material condition of Bobbitt's sentence that he cooperates in the case against D'Amico and McClure, as he agreed to do when he pled guilty.
D'Amico, 39, and McClure, 29, are facing charges of Theft by Deception (Second Degree) and Conspiracy to Commit Theft by Deception (Second Degree). Their cases are pending presentation to a Burlington County Grand Jury for possible indictment. McClure has a hearing scheduled for Monday, April 15 at 2 p.m., before Judge Garrenger.
Their "Paying it Forward" GoFundMe campaign was created on November 10, 2017, soon after D'Amico, who was then McClure's boyfriend, took a picture of McClure and Bobbitt standing in front of the Girard Avenue exit ramp on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.
The campaign listed a goal of $10,000 to provide Bobbitt, who was homeless, with rent for an apartment, a reliable vehicle, and six months of living expenses, among other things. But the incoming funds far exceeded their target. In total, more than $403,000 was contributed during the 2017 holiday season to help Bobbitt.
During his plea proceeding in March, Bobbitt told the court that both D'Amico and McClure used the donated money for personal expenses, including gambling, and also provided him with money and transportation to purchase illicit drugs.
Within a few months of the campaign's creation, all of the donated funds had been spent. Once he realized the money had been squandered, Bobbitt took civil action against D'Amico and McClure. He alleged in August 2018 through his attorneys that he had only received approximately $75,000 of the funds raised on his behalf.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Prosecutor Andrew McDonnell, supervisor of the BCPO Financial Crimes Unit. The investigation was conducted by the Prosecutor's Office Financial Crimes Unit and High-Tech Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Florence Township Police Department.
All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Did Russian Ruling Elite Rely On The Supernatural?
By Michael Orosz
There were many charlatans and occultists in Russian history, but only a few of them were admitted to the highest echelons of the ruling elite. Here is a look at three personalities, who enjoyed the trust of Russian rulers.
From time immemorial people with 'supernatural' powers were perceived to be a source of divine knowledge and power. In Russia, like everywhere else, such people offered paying patrons a glance into their future and suggested ways to avoid fatal mistakes. This kind of power was priceless for the ruling class.
Here are three mysterious figures that in one way or another were connected to Russian leaders.
Royal healer
Grigory Rasputin, who became a household name in many countries, was one of the most controversial figures in Russian history. To this day there is no consensus on whether he was a holy miracle worker or a charlatan.
Left: Nicholas II of Russia 1893/ Right: The mystic Grigori Rasputin
Born in a peasant family in Siberia in 1869 Rasputin received little schooling and reportedly never learned to read or write. After years of pilgrimage he arrived in St. Petersburg in 1903 and quickly became popular among the aristocrats obsessed with mysticism and occult practices.
With time he became acquainted with the royal family and won the trust of the Tsar Nicholas II by helping his son Aleksey – the only male heir to the throne – who was suffering from hemophilia. Rasputin was able to ease his condition.
While making official decisions, the Tsar consulted Rasputin, who even tried to convince Nicholas II to avoid a war with Germany. The healer was, unfortunately, unsuccessful. The First World War began in 1914 and turned out to be a disaster for the country, claiming the lives of more than four million Russians.
Rasputin even predicted his own death and warned Nicholas about the dangers facing the country in the near future. In a letter sent to the Tsar in December 1916, he predicted that there would be no peace in Russia for 25 years if the Russian nobility assassinated him.
"The Russian Tsar, you will be killed by the Russian people and the people will be cursed and will serve as the devil's weapon killing each other everywhere," Rasputin wrote. "Thrice in 25 years they will destroy the Russian people and the Orthodox faith, and the Russian land will die."
The predictions came true. On Dec. 30, 1916 Rasputin was killed by members of the Tsar's inner circle. Shortly after the assassination, Russia witnessed a revolution. Less than two years after the predictions were made, the royal family was executed.
Stalin's witch
There were many rumors about the women in Soviet leader Joseph Stalin's life, but one of them, Natalia Lvova, was much closer to the leader than anyone else. However, she was not a lover.
Being a daughter of a famous clairvoyant from St. Petersburg, Lvova was summoned to Moscow by Stalin himself in 1930.
Left: Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union (1943)/ Right: Natalia Lvova. Archive Photo
The Soviet leader was said to believe in supernatural powers and felt that psychics could be serious allies in his political endeavors.
According to Igor Obolensky, the author of the book 'The memoirs of Stalin's mother,' Lvova protected the leader from the 'evil eye' and negative influences of his political opponents. As a protective measure from black magic, Lvova reportedly advised Stalin to not be photographed, and to not reveal his real date of birth.
There were rumors that the majority of Stalin's pictures were actually photos of his doubles. According to these rumors, the only authentic picture is the one where the Soviet leader is shown half-turned with eyes covered, and with a tube in his mouth. It was impossible to use this photo for black magic because the eyes were closed and the tube formed a protective shield.
It is also likely that Lvova advised Stalin on staff reshuffle decisions that seemed unusual at times, but almost always turned out to be correct. To this day few details of Lvova's life have emerged.
Eugenia Davitashvili, better known by the name Juna, was a Russian faith healer who cured many prominent people in Russia and abroad.
She was "discovered" by Leonid Brezhnev, a man she admired until his death. He brought her from Tbilisi, Georgia to Moscow, and she lived near the Kremlin.
Left: Leonid Brezhnev - the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union/ Right:A session given by Juna. Vitaliy Arutjunov / RIA Novosti
Juna promoted the use of bioenergy for medical purposes and reportedly saved Brezhnev from death many times. He died a few months after she stopped being his personal healer.
She became an object of intense examination in Russian academic circles and her abilities were constantly tested by the most respected scientists.
Their findings showed that Juna was able to affect bodies at the molecular level and improve the characteristics of blood cells. She argued that everyone had bioenergetic abilities, but only a few could focus their power on curing diseases.
Juna helped many high-level officials and public figures during the course of her life, including Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin.
In an interview in 2012 Juna admitted that she had a good relationship with Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev and was even asked to heal former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, but she refused.
Juna predicted the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the August coup of 1991 and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
The healer, who died in 2015, was mostly optimistic about the future of Russia. Juna did not think that the western sanctions on the country and the Ukraine crisis were a big deal for Russia. However, she said that there could be a clash of global powers if the conflict in Ukraine lingered on for more than two months.

Q: ng-change on checkbox requires 2 clicks I have a controller getting a list of users and a view listing them, along with a checkbox for displaying and setting whether they are active...
.controller('StaffCtrl', ['StaffService', function(StaffService) {
  var self = this;
  self.staff = StaffService.query();
  self.activeUpdate = function(person){
    StaffService.update({id:person.id}, person);
  };
}]);

  {{ person.name_full }}
  <input type="checkbox" ng-checked="person.active" ng-model="person.active" ng-change="staffCtrl.activeUpdate(person)" ng-true-value="1" ng-false-value="0">

Clicking the checkbox once triggers activeUpdate, the async call is made and the user updated, but within the view the check mark itself doesn't disappear from the checkbox (in latest Chrome and Firefox). If I click it again now the check mark disappears and activeUpdate isn't called. If I click once more the check reappears and the call gets made all at the same time, always only when adding the check, removing it consistently takes 2 clicks!
What am I doing wrong?
Update: Sample JSON for the staff list (using curl to query the REST api...)
[
    {
        "active": 1,
        "id": 1,
        "name_first": "Ed",
        "name_full": "Tech, Ed",
        "name_last": "Tech",
        "name_middle": null,
        "uri": "/sips/api/staff/1",
        "username": "admin"
    },
    {
        "active": 1,
        "id": 252,
        "name_first": "test",
        "name_full": "aatest, test",
        "name_last": "aatest",
        "name_middle": "something",
        "uri": "/sips/api/staff/252",
        "username": "testteacher"
    },
    ...
]

A: Using ng-checked and ng-model together can conflict, they both want to set the actual checked state of the checkbox.  Second, ng-true-value and ng-false-value seem to only work with strings.  So when you are clicking to set the value, it changes person.active from the number 1 to the string '1'.  That is also what causes the unchecking problem, the string "0" is a true value so ng-checked thinks the box should be checked but ng-model does not.
And since ngTrueValue only accepts constant expressions, I don't see an easy way to get it to do what you want with numbers for active. (Angular Source)
You might be able to skip using ngModel and instead use ngChecked for display and ngClick to update your property with a method plunker:
<input type="checkbox" ng-checked="person.active"
       ng-click="updateActive(person)"</input>

JS:
self.updateActive = function(person) {
  console.dir(person);
  person.active = 1 - person.active;
}

A: As mentioned above, Angular works best (in this context) if you forget true, false, 0 and 1 and just think two strings '0' and '1' - though once you realise it works ok with strings, you could use anything I guess 'yes/no' 'true/false'
You need to use just and exactly this:
ng-model = "object.property"
ng-true=value="'1'" // note the string
ng-false-value = "'0'"
ng-checked = "object.property=='1'"

and then it works perfectly, no other work arounds needed.
Use ng-change for a notify if you need it but don't use it to change the state of object.property or there will, of course, be conflicts

A: you can simply change like below and  rest model will do automatically.
you also don't need to put ng-checked as you are already using ng-model.
<input type="checkbox"  ng-model="person.active" ng-change="staffCtrl.activeUpdate(person)" ng-true-value="'1'" ng-false-value="'0'">

What are the relevant standards for bioplastics?
Working Group 3 of the Technical Committee (TC) 411 of CEN has developed different standards for the measurement of the renewable content of biobased materials and, therefore, bioplastics. Most importantly, the European norm EN 16640 "Bio-based products – Determination of the bio-based carbon content of products using the radiocarbon method", published in 2017, describes how to measure the carbon isotope 14C (radiocarbon method). In addition, the standard EN 16785-1 "Bio-based products – Bio-based content – Part 1: Determination of the bio-based content using the radiocarbon analysis and elemental analysis" has been developed to also account for other bio-based elements in a polymer through elemental analysis.
EN 13432 "Requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation" is the European standard for biodegradable packaging designed for treatment in industrial composting facilities and anaerobic digestion. It requires at least 90% disintegration after twelve weeks and includes tests on ecotoxicity and heavy metal content.
There is currently no international standard specifying the conditions for home composting of biodegradable plastics. However, there are several national standards, such as the Australian norm AS 5810 "Biodegradable plastics – biodegradable plastics suitable for home composting" as well as the French standard NF T 51-800 "Plastics — Specifications for plastics suitable for home composting" requires at least 90% degradation in 12 months at ambient temperature.
A new standard EN 17033 "Biodegradable mulch films for use in agriculture and horticulture – Requirements and test methods" (expected to be published in 2017) specifies the requirements for biodegradable films, manufactured from thermoplastic materials, to be used for mulching applications in agriculture and horticulture, which are not intended to be removed. A degradation of at least 90% in two years at preferably 25°C will be required.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Federal safety authorities launched an investigation on Thursday into a gas explosion that caused the collapse a day earlier of two New York City apartment buildings, killing eight people and injuring dozens of others.
The still-smoldering rubble prevented investigators from getting close enough to examine the main pipe that supplies natural gas to the Upper East Side neighborhood, said Robert Sumwalt, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, which reviews accidents involving natural gas.
When firefighters say the area is safe, he said, investigators will conduct a pressure test on the pipe to find the location of the leak that may have caused the blast.
"We are operating under the assumption at this point that it is a natural gas leak that led to an explosion," Sumwalt said.
The explosion at about 9:30 a.m. EDT on Wednesday shook the East Harlem neighborhood shortly after a resident complained to the Con Edison utility about a gas odor.
Sumwalt said the scene was "in one word, devastating."
"You've got basically two five-story buildings that have been reduced to essentially a three-story pile of bricks and twisted metal," he said. "The smell of smoke is omnipresent."
Five women and three men were killed, police said, but not all victims' identities have been released. The latest victim was female and pulled from the rubble late on Thursday, police said.
Victims include Griselde Camacho, 44, a public safety officer for Hunter College in East Harlem; Carmen Tanco, 67, a dental hygienist; Rosaura Hernandez, 21, and Andreas Panagopoulos, 43.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said 40 people were injured. He declined at an earlier news conference to say how many remain unaccounted for, although New York City police earlier said five people are still missing.
At least three children were hurt; two were treated for minor injuries and released, while a third was in critical condition, hospital officials said.
The two buildings on a largely residential block at East 116th Street and Park Avenue housed 15 apartments, a ground-floor church and a piano store.
Residents of seven nearby buildings, with nearly 90 apartments, lost heating and gas services.
NTSB's Sumwalt said the main, low-pressure gas distribution line that runs along Park Avenue was still intact. Service lines carry gas into buildings from that main pipe, he said.
Passersby in the primarily Latino neighborhood donned dust masks or wrapped winter scarves around their faces to limit inhalation of dust and smoke.
The mayor said 66 people who lost their apartments or could not stay there have been given shelter.
"Anyone affected by this tragedy will be helped - anyone - regardless of immigration status... They should not be afraid," de Blasio said.
The mayor lamented that the neighbor who called Con Ed at 9:13 a.m. (1313 GMT) on Wednesday failed to call the night before, when he first noticed the gas odor.
"That might have given us an opportunity here," de Blasio said, urging anyone who smells gas to immediately call Con Edison or the city's complaint line at 311.
Consolidated Edison Inc spokesman Bob McGee said the last time the utility had received a complaint about a gas odor in the neighborhood was in May.
At that time, Con Ed shut off the gas and the building hired its own contractor to fix the leak. On July 3, Con Ed crews returned to the building to certify that repairs were done correctly, McGee said.
On February 10 and February 28, there were "high speed" checks made of the gas pipes, he said.
Sumwalt added: "We have not lost sight of the fact that many people's lives have been affected, many people's lives have been shattered by this tragic event, and we don't take that lightly.
"Our goal for being here is to find out what happened so that nobody has to go through this again," he said.

U.S. Special Forces Engage Al-Shabaab In Somalia
first published on May 12, 2016 by Josh
A Special Forces team, operating in Somalia, came into direct contact with Al-Shabaab militants today while conducting an operation with a partner force.
U.S. Special Forces, on an 'advise and assist' team, came into contact with Al=Shabaab militants west of Mogadishu Thursday when an advisory mission turned into a running gun battle that ended with five dead terrorists.
The Special Forces team, assisting Ugandan troops, ran into trouble after their partnered patrol came into contact with at least 20 Al-Shabaab fighters running an illegal checkpoint. When the Ugandans weren't capable of suppressing the Al-Shabaab militants, the American Special Forces team launched an airstrike to assist.
Thinking that the fight was over, and the militants were either dead or had retreated from the battle due to a successful airstrike, the American team advanced to link up with the Ugandans.
While on the move to their partner force, they came under direct fire from the Shabaab militants. They immediately returned fire, and engaged the terrorist group in a running gun battle.
At the conclusion of the gunfight five terrorists were confirmed dead, and zero Americans were wounded.
Currently the United States maintains a contingent force of Special Operations team members in Somalia that serve the purpose of advising and assisting African forces in their fight against terrorism. They are not expected to serve in a combat role, but they are prepared in the event situations like this arise.

Skin whitening products are used all over the world. Originally developed for the Asian market, western countries have seen them grow tremendously, often termed "skin lighteners" or "brighteners" to avoid regulatory scrutiny. While many of the ingredients used in these products are safe and well-established, consumers could put their health at risk if they are not aware of the dangers of improper application, or illegal formulations.
Whether used for cosmetic effects or to counter skin pigmentation issues, skin whiteners and lighteners carry risks and are often the target of regulatory actions and counterfeiting. Skin lightening products, both topical and injectable, frequently toe the grey zone between cosmetics and drugs, in the regulatory limbo we often call cosmeceuticals.
The US FDA has concerns over unsafe injection practices, harmful ingredients, and contaminants associated with skin whitening products. Improper injection techniques and poor hygienic practices can result in nerve or blood vessel damage, toxic systemic reactions, or infection. Mercury and hydroquinone are effective at whitening the skin but are banned in many markets for use as cosmetic whiteners due to health risks. However, these ingredients are known in counterfeit and black-market whitening products. Ingestible skin whitening formulations have also been developed in the form of candies, tablets, and beverages, many of which are exclusively available on the black market. With the global skin lightening market predicted to reach US $31.2 billion by 2024, the consumer demand for more effective, faster acting skin whiteners is unlikely to help staunch the flow of questionable products making their way into the hands of consumers.
The pervasiveness of the issue is highlighted by a recent U.S. Federal court ruling. Just this past September 2017, a manufacturer of skin whitening products was ordered by a Federal Judge on behalf of the FDA to cease sale and issue a recall of their products due to safety concerns. The company also has to undergo an expert review of their drug products and halt distribution until granted written permission from the FDA. The company's products first came under fire in 2014 when stock was seized by U.S. Marshals.
This case illustrates the need for both manufacturers and consumers to understand the risks and regulations associated with skin whitening products. Consumers need to be aware of unproven treatments and deceptive marketing tactics and purchase products from trusted manufacturers. Meanwhile, manufacturers have the responsibility to ensure that their products are safe and comply with regulations.

April 12, 2018: Rosemount Library's Future?; A book depot during renovations.
A book depot during renovations.
By Blaine Marchand, R.E.A.D. Group.
In the upcoming months, the Rosemount branch library will close while renovations take place.
Neither the date nor the length of time of the closure has been specified. The Rosemount Expansion and Development (READ) group contacted the Ottawa Public Library (OPL) for information on the closure and the services that will be available to users in the catchment area.
The OPL indicated that Rosemount will operate as a depot, a model used during other renovations, such as the Beaverbrook branch renovation and expansion, which saw it go from10,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet. READ was informed that there will be a small collection of books, including express material. The automated check-in and return system will be in use. And rather than having desktop computers available for use, Chromebooks will be available.
According to OPL officials, any programming would be off site. The OPL is exploring potential sites within the neighbourhood. Whether this means users will be directed to a community facility, such as the Hintonburg Community Centre or to another facility is not certain. READ hopes that programing will be available at a nearby site that is accessible to primary and secondary students, the physically challenged and the seniors who are regular users.
When READ pressed for information on the design process, the OPL responded that the Request for Proposals (RFP) to engage an architect will be done by the City. No input will be sought on the RFP.
READ was told the engaged architect will be fully aware of Rosemount's spatial limitations and the limited budget for the project. The current building was built in 1918, expanded in 1933/4 and given a facelift (elevator, more washrooms) in 1982.
Even with these, the library with a square footage of just a shade over 6,000 square feet to serve an estimated catchment population of 40,000 simply does provide enough space. In READ's view, this renovation, at best, will be a band aid.
In reply to READ asking whether the community will be allowed input, the OPL indicated there will be public engagement prior to the design phase but details of the time and structure of these consultations were not provided.
With regard to Rosemount, the community needs to be on the alert and follow the process attentively. For years, Rosemount was the priority for the OPL Board but somehow other branches across the municipality inexplicably superseded it.
Key questions remain. How long will Rosemount users rely on a temporary depot for their library services? How will the renovation re-configure a building with limited space? In the longer term, does the OPL Board and the City have a concrete plan for library services?
For a comparison of Rosemount library to other OPL branches, please visit http://www.READRosemount.ca .

CT scanning—sometimes called CAT scanning—is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. CT scanning combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated computers to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body. These cross-sectional images of the area being studied can then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or transferred to a CD. CT scans of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular x-ray exams. A CT scan of the face produces images that also show a patient's paranasal sinus cavities. The paranasal sinuses are hollow, air-filled spaces located within the bones of the face and surrounding the nasal cavity, a system of air channels connecting the nose with the back of the throat. There are four pairs of sinuses, each connected to the nasal cavity by small openings.
In many ways CT scanning works very much like other x-ray examinations. X-rays are a form of radiation—like light or radio waves—that can be directed at the body. Different body parts absorb the x-rays in varying degrees. In a conventional x-ray exam, a small burst of radiation is aimed at and passes through the body, recording an image on photographic film or a special image recording plate. Bones appear white on the x-ray; soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black. With CT scanning, numerous x-ray beams and a set of electronic x-ray detectors rotate around you, measuring the amount of radiation being absorbed throughout your body. At the same time, the examination table is moving through the scanner, so that the x-ray beam follows a spiral path. A special computer program processes this large volume of data to create two-dimensional cross-sectional images of your body, which are then displayed on a monitor. This technique is called helical or spiral CT. CT imaging is sometimes compared to looking into a loaf of bread by cutting the loaf into thin slices. When the image slices are reassembled by computer software, the result is a very detailed multidimensional view of the body's interior. Refinements in detector technology allow new CT scanners to obtain multiple slices in a single rotation. These scanners, called "multislice CT" or "multidetector CT," allow thinner slices to be obtained in a shorter period of time, resulting in more detail and additional view capabilities. Modern CT scanners are so fast that they can scan through large sections of the body in just a few seconds. Such speed is beneficial for all patients but especially children, the elderly and critically ill. For children, the CT scanner technique will be adjusted to reduce the radiation dose. For some CT exams, a contrast material is used to enhance visibility in the area of the body being studied.
The technologist begins by positioning patients on the CT examination table. For a CT scan of the sinuses, the patient is positioned lying flat on the back. The patient may also be positioned face-down with the chin elevated. Straps and pillows may be used to help the patient maintain the correct position and to hold still during the exam. Some patients require an injection of a contrast material to enhance the visibility of certain tissues or blood vessels. A nurse or technologist will insert an intravenous (IV) line into a small vein in the patient's hand or arm. The contrast material will be injected through this line. Next, the table will move quickly through the scanner to determine the correct starting position for the scans. Then, the table will move slowly through the machine as the actual CT scanning is performed. You may be asked to hold your breath during the scanning. Any motion, whether breathing or body movements, can lead to artifacts on the images. This is similar to the blurring seen on a photograph taken of a moving object. When the examination is completed, you will be asked to wait until the technologist verifies that the images are of high enough quality for accurate interpretation. The actual CT scan takes less than a minute and the entire process is usually completed within 10 minutes.
CT exams are generally painless, fast and easy. With helical CT, the amount of time that the patient needs to lie still is reduced. Though the scanning itself causes no pain, there may be some discomfort from having to remain still for several minutes. If you have a hard time staying still, are claustrophobic or have chronic pain, you may find a CT exam to be stressful. The technologist or nurse, under the direction of a physician, may offer you a mild sedative to help you tolerate the CT scanning procedure. If an intravenous contrast material is used, you will feel a slight pin prick when the needle is inserted into your vein. You may have a warm, flushed sensation during the injection of the contrast materials and a metallic taste in your mouth that lasts for a few minutes. Some patients may experience a sensation like they have to urinate but this subsides quickly. When you enter the CT scanner, special lights may be used to ensure that you are properly positioned. With modern CT scanners, you will hear only slight buzzing, clicking and whirring sounds as the CT scanner revolves around you during the imaging process. You will be alone in the exam room during the CT scan. However, the technologist will be able to see, hear and speak with you at all times. With pediatric patients, a parent may be allowed in the room but will be required to wear a lead apron to minimize radiation exposure. After a CT exam, you can return to your normal activities. If you received contrast material, you may be given special instructions.
A physician, usually a radiologist with expertise in supervising and interpreting radiology examinations, will analyze the images and send a signed report to your primary care physician or the physician who referred you for the exam, who will discuss the results with you. Follow-up examinations are often necessary, and your doctor will explain the exact reason why another exam is requested. Sometimes a follow-up exam is done because a suspicious or questionable finding needs clarification with additional views or a special imaging technique. A follow-up examination may be necessary so that any change in a known abnormality can be detected over time. Follow-up examinations are sometimes the best way to see if treatment is working or if an abnormality is stable over time.

Bishop Hezekiah Walker is "Living Proof" of a Healing at YouTube Studios
by Nicole Vear
On Monday June 24th, Bishop Hezekiah Walker brought a testimony to YouTube Studios in New York City. The performance, which included an intimate conversation with Hezekiah and a Q & A moderated by Neicy Tribett, ushered in a new sound for the musical OG. Hezekiah delivered spiritual restoration in song once again with his latest offering, the single "Living Proof". As the Bishop affirmed to the audience that he still makes music with sounds he is known for, he also confirmed that with "Living Proof", he is trying something new.
The production of "Living Proof" is instantly recognizable as the sound of Black Washington, D.C. The funk and percussion of Go-Go music entered and intensely filled the space. There is a deep joy in the song where the chorus, bass and drums meet. It's the same joy that exists when boys and girls beat their feet at Eastern Market, vibing to the rhythm in true D.C. fashion. "Living Proof" may prove to be one of Hezekiah's most culturally influential songs.
In 2019, "Living Proof" is sure to resonate with audiences both sonically and for its message. He sings "He'll forgive, have mercy, provide time and time again. Ask me how I know, I can tell you so – because I'm living proof" and this is Hezekiah's truth. His authenticity illuminated the studio as he talked with the audience about his life as a healer in need of healing. The song, in its simplicity and Hezekiah's testimony, gave recognition and space to the issues in life that weigh on us.
During the conversation, Hezekiah's transparency about addressing mental health issues with seeking healing through therapy reverberated with the crowd as they in turn spoke of mental health as a community issue. "Living Proof" sounds like the affirmation one can speak to when they have begun to weather the storm and survived to tell the first part of the story. When the entire album is released on RCA Records, audiences will hear the rest of the testimony. Watch the full event below:

Any 1 item - Now That's What I Call Music!
Compact Discs (CDs) were first introduced to the music market in 1982, co developed by Philips and Sony. Due to their affordability and availability, the technology grew fast. By the 1990s recordable CDs were widely available and by 2000 most vehicles were manufactured with CD players instead of audio tape players as it had become the leading format for recorded music. The technology was also developed further and led to the development of CD ROMs, DVDs and Blue Ray, which share the same physical attributes as the music CD.
Music CDs are available in two sizes the standard CD measures 120mm in diameter, can hold up to 700MiB of data and provides up to 80 minutes of recorded music. Mini CDs measure 80mm in diameter can store up to 210MiB of data, equating to around 24 minutes of music.
A CD has a single spiral track of data that circles from the inside of the disc to the outside. This track is tiny; a micron is one millionth of a meter and the track is 0.5 microns wide. The results is a series of bumps, or pits, on the readable surface of the CD, too small to be visible to the naked eye. The CD player reads the data that is stored in these bumps, using a laser and lens system and a tracking mechanism that follows the spiral track. The data is extracted by the laser and translated into the recorded music that we hear. A complex process but thankfully not one we need to fully understand in order to enjoy our music CDs.
As in all things, some CDs are limited edition and harder to come by than others. These have significant collectible value. Examples include Coldplay's 'The Safety EP' with less than 500 produced and only approximately 100 making it to retail and Nirvana's UK only promotional version of 'Pennyroyal tea' in 1994, that was withdrawn before distribution. Rare CDs can fetch upwards of $1500.


Fighting cyberattacks with artificial intelligence (AI)?
Maintaining IT security poses major challenges for many companies. Cyberattacks are not only becoming more frequent but also more vicious. Many attacks are initially undetected, resulting in even more far-reaching consequences for companies. In order to ward off cyberattacks in advance and to minimize potential damage, a holistic approach is required.
Many IT decision-makers see AI as the only ideal way to successfully upgrade against attacks. However, AI is only in its infancy in security technology in order to serve suitable fields of application. With the help of AI, the detection and defence against cyberattacks can be significantly improved and AI will soon play a major role in prevention. However, there are limits and it would be almost negligent to rely solely on artificial intelligence. The algorithms have a narrow focus and work with standardized sets of rules. Clever cybercriminals are able to introduce new scenarios that are completely new to the algorithms in order to break new - not covered - ground. Identified viruses should be classified and examined by humans in order to avoid unnecessary false alarms.
In each case, it is important to check whether AI should only be used as a tool in the corporate IT security strategy or whether it should increasingly cover the security area. If necessary, the entrepreneurial focus must be directed more towards the necessary human resources. From today's view, successful and therefore secure anticipatory action, just like forensic thinking, is still reserved for human intelligence.
In many large companies and corporations, the position of the IT security officer is deliberately located in the management team.
Hazards and risks are cross-sectoral, all companies are subject to the same attack patterns. But how can companies protect themselves? Security as a tailor-made product from the catalogue does not exist and there are still limits to AI.
Sufficient defence against cyberattacks should normally be the responsibility of the company management. It is essential to set up a functioning IT risk and IT security management system in the company to minimize the attack possibilities for hackers. Security measures must be developed, implemented and executed and also constantly monitored, reviewed and improved.
What skills does a cybersecurity expert need?
Security specialists need to be much broad-based in terms of their qualifications and profiles than mere IT experts. They focus on implementing and executing a sustainable and resilient ISMS along with data protection and physical security measures to achieve comprehensive security solutions and operational risk and crisis management. Effective prevention work and the planning of potential attack scenarios are also standard tasks. Such planning requires - in addition to pure programming languages - several years of relevant professional experience in the area of information security, certification such as CISSP, CISM, CISA as well as very good knowledge in the area of security and network and also cryptography.
In addition to the knowledge in the field of encryption with a mathematical focus and a specialist course such as in economics or MINT, a sound professional experience in IT security (threat response/analysis and intelligence), CERT, conception of intrusion detection and prevention systems is also required. Solid knowledge in the fields of anti-malware software, network administration, IT security or IT forensics and the common scripting and programming languages are just as important prerequisites as a pronounced skill in communication and documentation.
In the coming years, it will be increasingly important for company managers to understand the topic of cybersecurity as a brand attribute and not just wait for this problem to resolve itself. Responsibilities must be reorganized and established. AI is an option but not the only way to combat cybercrime. Those who acquire the desired and suitable specialists and managers with this knowledge in due time already have a clear competitive advantage.

Q: How to store SNMP-V3 credentials in a C# application i am creating a C# application (with .NET framework 4.6.1), which needs to communicate with an SNMP agent over SNMP-V3.
I found myself baffling with the question of how should i store the SNMP credentials.
i obviously cant hash them, because they are needed as plaintext when i'm initializing the SNMP manager, and i also don't want to force the user to enter them every time the application starts, because that could happen a few times per day.
The application is to be deployed on several computers, on a closed network, so i can't access to any cloud services.
I have come up with some techniques i can do this, and can't figure out which is the best for my use case:

*

*prompt the user for the credentials at the installation, or at the first launch of the app, encrypt it using Microsoft's DPAPI, and decrypt it whenever needed for SNMP communications

*Same as 1, but encrypt is using the user password (i have a login, and the login password is obviously hashed and salted).

*I have found this project on github, which uses the Windows credentials manager- is this a valid option?

To me 2 seems like the most robust way, but i then go into several problems, because i can have many users in the system and i would have to do this for every user, and i am not sure it has any advantages in a security point of view.
The scenario i am supposed to face is one where i have an attacker inside the closed network, but if he has control over the machine running my app, it's game over right?
and if that is the case, why even bother with securing the passwords at all?
Any tips and enlightenment will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

A: The only difference I see between 1 and 2 is that 2 assumes 1 encrypts the data unsafely (that is a false assumption, DPAPI encryption is good) and relies on the user password (which we do not know if it is safe). That is why I would discard option 2.
Now into the big difference, that would be DPAPI (options 1/2) vs. Credential Manager (option 3) and looking at this security stackexchange post How secure is the Windows Credential Manager? I would choose DPAPI.
So my suggestion would be, go option 1. My reasoning would be:

*

*Credential Manager seems to be less safe than DPAPI

*Relying on the user password strength is problematic because you do not know if it is strong or not.

A minor drawback on Credential Manager (if you finally choose option 3 instead option 1) would be it stores the data in the user profile directory, and accidents happen and it could be deleted by accident.

6 Best Shows Like Rosario Vampire On Netflix Update 01/2023
This is a follow-up to the first six episodes of Rosario and the Vampire Slayer. Keep scrolling down to see the original article after you've finished this one.
Although Rosario to Vampire hit the airwaves in 2008, it remains a popular choice among fans. Do you have any idea why this is so? Why? Because no other animated film has managed to capture the perfect blend of high school life and ecchi, while also including elements of fantasy, romance, and the supernatural!
When Tsukune Aono's parents can't get him into any other schools, they enroll him in Youkai Academy. He enters the school without realizing it is a Youkai school for all varieties! He meets the campus' most stunning girl, Moka Akashiya. Upon meeting a wide range of girls, all of whom are actually supernatural beings, they begin to lust after his heart, but Tsukune is solely focused on his relationship with Moka and their mutual attraction to her. Let me just point out that Moka is actually a vampiric creature. Tsukune appears to have a lot of catching up to do before he is ready to date any of the other women in his life.
Check out these six similar anime to Rosario to Vampire, all of which have elements in common.
1. To LOVE-Ru
LOVE-Ru follows Rito Yuuki, a character who is anything but brave. He desperately wants to tell the girl of his dreams, Haruna Sairenji, how he feels about her… Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse for him, a girl shows up in his bathroom while still wearing her underwear. Her name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, and she is the princess who will succeed her father as king when he passes away. She's trying to get away from her father and her arranged marriage, so she chooses to marry Rito instead of her political fiancé. Rito has more than just Lala to contend with when he confesses to Haruna, as a swarm of girls appear to be fighting him off. Who knows where this will lead!
If looks are what you're looking for in an anime, both Lala and Moka have them. They also both have pink hair and a bouncy chest. Now that the physical realm has been traversed, it's time to get to the heart of the matter. Rito and Tsukune later learn that Lala and Moka share the same personalities and baggage from their families. Both series have a fair share of harem comedies, as well as a healthy dose of ecchi. Otherworldly elements abound, with Lala hailing from the stars and Moka a vampire, as well as a slew of interesting characters chasing the MC. It should go without saying, but both of the main characters begin the film with a lot of baggage, as is typical of ecchi harem comedies in general.
2. Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou (Everyday Life with Monster Girls)
Let's go to a world where Kimihito Kurusu lives in a parallel universe to our own. There are non-humans living alongside humans in Japan now because the country is on the cutting edge of technology. However, they are compelled to coexist with people. Miia, a lamia, moved in with him after an accident brought a slew of other non-human species monsters with her? The girls are suddenly smitten with him and clamoring for… well, a little more of him. The only way these non-humans can live with humans is if they can get married, in which case all sexual acts are prohibited. If you put a ring on it, that monster girl will have free reign over you for the rest of her life. It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Getting married to Kimihito is the ultimate goal for all of these alien women.
These two shows have some intriguing ecchi harem pairings right off the bat. Compound the fact that Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou's protagonist is surrounded by girls of different races and species, and it's easy to see why fans of Rosario to Vampire enjoy it so much! In between the two series, heavy ecchi scenes are a huge asset. Both series' female leads are vying for the affections of the male lead, but there is a clear path for the MC and one of the female leads as well. Even so, it doesn't deter him from making the most of what he has! To learn more, take a look at the video below.
3. Jitsu wa Watashi wa (Actually, I am…)
Asahi Kuromine enters a classroom to confess his feelings to Youko Shiragami, the girl of his dreams. The sun is shining. However, he discovers that she is a vampire due to an oversight! If anyone finds out, she'll be forced to leave the school. They become friends after Asahi makes a promise to keep her secret safe. One problem, however: Asahi has a poor track record of secrecy preservation. And just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, it turns out the school is home to more than vampires. There are creatures with unique abilities plotting to devastate the planet. How long can Asahi hold his tongue in order to avoid saying his final goodbyes to Youko? In this romantic comedy, only time will tell!
Thanks to the inclusion of a female vampire lead in both Rosario to Vampire and Jitsu wa Watashi wa, both films feature a strong male lead. But the laughter never ends. The ecchi comedy of Rosario to Vampire contrasts sharply with Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa's focus on the school's enigmatic headmaster, Akane Koumoto, in the latter. You'll cry during the cooking segment! When it comes to supernatural creatures in the series, Tsukune can pass as a human, but Youko can't! Other women in the harems are not going to sit around and do nothing while the main male character is pursuing the main female character.
4. Sekirei
Minato Sahashi, who is brilliant but terrible at tests, has failed the college entrance exams for the second time in a row. With nowhere else to turn, a woman literally falls into his lap one day. An extraterrestrial with extraordinary abilities goes by the name of Musubi. She's referred to as a "Sekirei" in Japan. Because of the Ashikabi gene, she can awaken his hidden abilities just by kissing him, which is exactly what she does. Because of their shared experience, Musubi asks Minato for help in the world of Sekirei… but there's more at stake than he realizes.
Minato is transported to the Sekirei plane, similar to how Tsukune was whisked away to another world by the Youkai Academy. Tsukune's setup is similar in that girls start showing up around Minato and becoming attracted to him as well. All of the girls in Rosario are vampires, but the girls in Sekirei are of a different race! Both have supernatural abilities. This seemingly ordinary main character is shielded from danger by these super strong women in both series. Of course, ecchi is in abundance as well. Did you really believe that a kiss would be the end of it? Here's the trailer for you to enjoy!
5. Karin (Chibi Vampire)
Karin suffers from a condition known as reverse anemia. The more hemoglobin her body makes, the more anemia-like symptoms she develops. So what she does is that she gives blood to others with the help of her supernatural family, oh yeah, Karin is a vampire. They, on the other hand, become more upbeat and joyful as a result of her actions. Her pig-headed older brother Ren assists her by erasing the victims' memories. When a new boy transfers into her class, everything seems to be going swimmingly for her. Her blood begins to behave differently towards Kenta as he grows suspicious of something is amiss.
There are also romcoms in R+V and Karin that feature a vampire main female character and a bland-looking male character. Both Karin and Moka require the use of a blood sucking device, so they may as well use Tsukune and Kenta, the male protagonists. There are numerous supernatural characters on both shows. Of course, a human/nonhuman couple is featured in both shows. Everyone benefits from interspecies romance!
6. Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (Demon King Daimao)
Akuto Sai begins a new school year by enrolling in a new school. The Constant Magic Academy is the name of the school. In the course of a few events, he discovers that he is far superior to the other students in terms of magic ability and will one day become the Demon King! For the girls in the school, despite his reluctance, this is a total panty dropper! Suddenly, Akuto is being pursued ferociously by a wide range of females. Can he hold out for much longer before finally giving in?
The ecchi and fanservice begin as soon as the girls learn about it. Vampires in Rosario feel the same way. Students are left in an environment that appears to be surprisingly unsupervised at both schools, as both deal with supernatural beings. This is true for the female characters in both series as well. There are a wide range of personalities represented by these girls! When comparing these two, it's clear that Akuto will grow up to be a super-strong king, while Tsukune will remain a simple village boy. As a result, don't forget about it!

10 Best Reality TV Shows Like Jersey Shore Update 01/2023


Mixu was born on this date in Helsinki, Finland.
The St. Mirren bogey struck again, but for a long time, the luck appeared to be heading our way after 'keeper Campbell Money had to be replaced. He was one of two Saints carried off but the Buddies came from behind to grab a victory. Things looked good when we took an early lead. John Clark played a long searching ball up the left. It struck Finnish striker Mixu on the back, but he retained control and sent in a cross from the left which Iain Ferguson headed past Money from six yards - time 7 minutes. In 24 minutes Saints Ian Ferguson was put through by Davies and he drew Billy Thomson before sliding the ball in from a narrowing angle. Shortly afterwards Campbell Money was injured in cutting out a cross from Hamish French. He carried on but had to go off eventually, Kenny McDowell taking over in goal. It was a mistake by the deputy goalie which brought us our second goal. John Clark fed Jim McInally on the left and his cross was dropped by McDowell at the feet of our new Finnish striker Mixu Paatelainen shot home in the 48th minute of the first half.
We completed the full set against Falkirk at Tannadice yesterday with the fourth Premier success of the season over the Brockville men. And it was Finn Mixu Paatelainen - out of contract at the end of the season - who was at the double to put the skids under them this time. United's opening surge had threatened much, with Argentinian Victor Ferreyra back and relishing his striking role. His skills in combining with youngster Duncan Ferguson posed numerous problems for the Falkirk rearguard - only for the finishing to lack that vital spark. Indeed, despite United being well on top, it was Falkirk who almost grabbed the lead in 17 minutes through Alex Taylor. But the former United man saw his snapshot rebound to safety off the underside of the bar. In stepped big Mixu Paatelainen to right matters in 27 minutes with a simple far post header from a Ferguson cross. And with United gaining in confidence, Ferreyra and then Ferguson went close before Mixu Paatelainen struck again. Six minutes from the interval, following right wing invention by Darren Jackson, the big fellow swung his right foot to volley home a loose ball from 12 yards.
Following the defeat at Airdrie, manager Jim McLean rested Dave Bowman to ensure that he would be fully fit for Scotland's friendly with Finland. Jim Mclnally replaced his former Coventry colleague and was endeavouring to maintain his remarkable scoring run against Aberdeen. The only other change was the inclusion of Darren Jackson from the start, replacing Ray McKinnon. Despite the fact that Aberdeen got off to a good start with Ten Caat shooting narrowly past in the eighth minute and then having the greater share of possession, the Dons had few chances to score apart from a couple of dangerous Irvine headers.

Tester launches Web site on Stillwater
The members of Montana's congressional delegation are continuing to go to bat for a Montana mine that lost a contract with one of the world's largest auto manufacturers. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said Wednesday that he has set up an online site at which Montanans can comment on the decision by General Motors Corp. to cancel its contract with Stillwater Mining Co. "GM's decision doesn't sit well with me and a lot of other folks," Tester said in a press release. "Now it's time for GM and the Auto Task Force to hear directly from people in Montana. They can send their feedback to me online, and I'll make sure it gets to the people who need to see it." GM, which accepted federal loans during the bailout of American automotive companies, requested a bankruptcy judge to allow it to cancel its contract for palladium and other precious metals with Stillwater, which operates a mine near Columbus. The federal judge last week approved GM's request. The metal is used in the manufacTure of catalytic converters, used to reduce emissions of pollution from automobiles. GM said it will continue to buy the metals from suppliers in South Africa and Russia. Stillwater is majority-owned by the same Russian supplier, Norilsk Nickel. Stillwater, which employs some 1,300 people in Montana, estimates it will lose $5 million to $10 million annually because of the lost contract. Tester and Montana's senior senator, Democrat Max Baucus, last Thursday requested a meeting with the GM leadership to request the company reconsider canceling its Stillwater contract. The company replied Friday that it would not restore the contract. Vice President Robert Socia said in the letter that the company needs less of the precious metals due to slow car sales, and that about half of GM's purchase of precious metals will continue to come from a Pennsylvania company through an existing contract. Baucus said Wednesday he would continue to try to set up a meeting with GM's leadership to discuss restoring the Stillwater contract. "This is about Montana jobs, so you bet I'm going to keep fighting," Baucus said. "I'm looking forward into our next steps to meet with GM leaders and see what can be done to ensure the folks at Stillwater are treated fairly. As I've said before, I'm outraged. Protecting Montanans is my top priority." Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., also has stepped up for Stillwater. Rehberg announced Tuesday that he had called for a hearing in the House Committee on Natural Resources to examine why GM would void a contract with a domestic mine in favor of foreign mines. That hearing would provide subpoena authority to force GM officials to answer questions about the issue, Rehberg said. Rehberg commented that the automaker is now owned by the American taxpayer and cannot refuse to answer questions put to it by U.S. lawmakers on behalf of their constituents. Rehberg, Baucus and Tester all voted against a bailout of the auto industries in late 2008. Information from the Associated Press was used in this story.

Stories of faith, life, and love
By the Book Blog
Tag: A Love Like Ours
A Snake in the Path
January 26, 2019 / Heather Greer / 1 Comment
I was a carefree kid tromping through the woods behind our house. I wasn't oblivious to the dangers that lurked there. The tunnels running under the highway that cut through the woods were dark and damp and the perfect hiding spot for snakes. I came across a very large black snake one afternoon when I rode my bike down our well-worn trails. So I knew they were there. But it didn't keep me from the woods, and I didn't need anyone to accompany me on my treks down the path of the creek.
I can't pinpoint when it happened or why, but somewhere along the way I lost that carefree kid. I still enjoy a hike in the woods. I prefer the trails at Giant City State Park though. They're clearly marked and regularly used. In my mind that means less chance of coming across and unwanted guest. Even then, I don't like hiking them alone. I prefer cooler weather for hiking, late autumn or early spring. Reptiles, if they're out, are sluggish in the cold. I stand a better chance of a successful getaway, at least I can tell myself that.
There are several areas of life where I don't proceed with as much abandon as I once did. I didn't give jumping into the muddy pond at church camp a second thought as a kid. Now you can't pay me enough to get in it. The health department approves it each year, like it has to for every beach. But now, Tantor's words from Tarzan ring in my mind. "Are you sure this water's sanitary? It looks questionable to me." And don't even get me started on eating food with suspicious origins. I want to know who brought what to the potluck, and I'll gag if I see someone double dipping. I'm not about to eat that dip anymore.
It's not that I live in constant fear. I don't have any phobias, and I don't let these things keep me from doing what I want to do. But it's interesting to me that I now give time to things I never considered as a kid. Fears like these are manageable. They're really more of a nuisance. Other fears can be crippling. Just ask Jake Porter.
Jake, one of the main characters in A Love Like Ours by Becky Wade, knows about the kind of fear born out of trauma that digs its talons in and doesn't let go. He was always cautious and provided a balance to the reckless abandon of his childhood friend Lyndie. He was beside her every step of the way. He protected her and respected her freedom when her ideas could land her in a mess. Then, she moved away, and Jake knew his first taste of loss.
His desire to protect and caution served him well in the military until a disastrous mission changed his life forever. Dealing with PTSD, Jake retreated to the solitude of home to train Thoroughbreds and shut out the world. When Lyndie marches back into his life, Jake's tentative peace is shattered. Lyndie hasn't changed. Her spirit is as free as it was in childhood. Her passion for riding and his desire to protect conflict.
Though they quickly find friendship again, it's not without difficulties. As Jake's feelings start to go in a more romantic direction, his fears threaten to keep a wall up between them. He can't lose Lyndie, and Lyndie can't settle down. Jake has to deal with his past and his fears or face losing his love for the second time.
While most of us won't ever deal with circumstances that lead to PTSD, we still let fear influence our decisions. As believers we are taught that God has a plan for us. We have a purpose, and whatever ministry God has for us to accomplish, He will provide the way for it to work out the way He intends. Our heads know this. Sometimes our hearts forget.
No one wants to fail. That's a big fear factor for a lot of people, myself included. The first time I gave Faith's Journey to a professional author to read and tell me what she thought, I was terrified. What if she said it was awful? What if she told me I was wrong, that God wasn't calling me to write anything because I couldn't write? And if she did think it was worth something a whole new set of worries developed. It meant I was ready to send it to publishers and agents. What if I sent it out to everyone I could and no one wanted it? I knew that feeling from other projects I'd worked on, things that I believed in that no one I spoke with wanted to take on. But this book was different. This was the dream. I'd wanted to write Christian fiction for as long as I could remember. If no one wanted the other projects, their rejection stung but it wasn't my first love. If no one wanted to take a chance on Faith's Journey, it would be devastating.
I had a choice. I could let my fear keep me from going forward with what I felt in my heart God had called me to do, or I could work through my fear and send my manuscript out. More than I wanted success, I wanted to be a good steward of the passion and ministry I felt God had given me. Even if that meant no one wanted my book, I had to put my fear aside and send it. I queried a few agents and publishers. A few said no and that stung. But it made it sweeter when Mantle Rock Publishing said yes. In His time and in His way, God has brought me to where I am today. My first book has been out almost a year. In March the sequel arrives. And I'm currently working to wrap up Katie's story in a way that will be honest and encouraging for readers.
None of this would have taken place if I hadn't moved out of the place of fear and done what I felt God would have me do. It was mine to move when God said move and to trust God with the outcome.
