Virginia Non-Solicitation Agreements
It is increasingly common for employment contracts to contain non-solicitation provisions or clauses, also known as covenants not to solicit. In such contractual provisions, an employee or executive agrees not to solicit its company's clients or customers, for personal benefit or for the benefit of a competitor, for a certain period of time after leaving the company. Certain non-solicitation provisions may also prohibit the employee from soliciting other employees to leave the company for a specified period of time. In this way, covenants not to solicit do not prevent a former employee from working at all, but simply prevent the employee from raiding the company's customers and employees to unfairly compete with its former employer.
Employers may require an employee to sign a non-solicitation agreement as part of the hiring process, at some point during employment, or in the final stages as part of a severance package. As with any contract that you enter into, it is best that you thoroughly understand the specifics and ramifications of any employment contract, preferably before you sign it. The employment contract attorneys at MartinWren, P.C. have extensive experience drafting, negotiating, reviewing, enforcing, and defending all types of employment contracts, including non-solicitation agreements, and our lawyers are available to review your employment, independent contractor, or severance contract.
Broad employment contracts that forbid an employee from pursuing his or her chosen profession, restrict competition, or limit post-employment activities are disfavored by Virginia courts and viewed as restraints on trade. This is also true of non-solicitation agreements that prevent individuals from contacting and soliciting former clients and customers, former partners, or former employees. Non-solicitation provisions are generally viewed by Virginia courts with a similar disfavor with which they view covenants not to compete, and some Virginia courts have struck such agreements on similar grounds as non-compete covenants.
If you are asked to sign a non-solicitation agreement or other type of employment contract, you should seek skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel to review the contract. The employment law attorneys at MartinWren, P.C. can ensure your rights are fully protected under the non-solicitation agreement and that you enter into any agreement with full knowledge of its meaning and consequences. If you have already signed a non-solicitation agreement, a seasoned employment attorney can review the provisions and advise you on its precise parameters. Understanding the specific nature of the agreement will help you act in accordance with the applicable restrictions or to identify grounds for challenging the agreement.
The employment law attorneys at MartinWren, P.C. have years of experience dealing with these types of restrictive covenants and employment contracts. We are proficient in drafting non-solicitation agreements as well as representing employers and employees involved in non-solicitation disputes.

GE & Juhl partner to build to first-of-its-kind solar & wind hybrid project
By Michelle Froese | November 21, 2018
Juhl Energy has selected GE Renewable Energy to supply equipment for the first commercial integrated solar-wind hybrid power generation project in the U.S. The Minnesota-based clean energy company has developed the 2.0-MW community-based renewable energy project to provide low-cost, locally generated energy to the Lake Region Electric Cooperative of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota.
The project will use one GE 2.0-116 wind turbine, supported by 0.5 MW of PV solar. GE's Wind Integrated Solar Energy technology platform directly integrates the solar panels through the wind turbine's converter so that both wind and solar share the same balance of plant.
Bank of America has provided necessary financial support for the project, agreeing to purchase the project-generated Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), in line with its environmental goals. 3Degrees facilitated the connection between Juhl Energy and Bank of America.
"Distributed generation will play a major role in the implementation of renewable energy in the U.S. electrical market in the years to come," said Dan Juhl of Juhl Energy. "Projects such as this one, with Juhl Energy's package design and GE hybrid technology, will economically blend clean, renewable energy into the electric grid at a lower cost, plus add reliability to the system."
The project will use one 2.0-116 wind turbine from GE Renewable Energy's Onshore Wind business supported by 0.5 MW of PV solar. The innovative project uses GE's Wind Integrated Solar Energy (WiSE) technology platform – developed through GE's Global Research Center – to directly integrate the solar panels through the wind turbine's converter so both wind and solar share the same balance of plant, increasing system net capacity by 3 to 4% and annual energy production by up to 10%.
The hybrid design gives these type of projects the ability to produce power when it is most needed, with the solar essentially providing summer peak energy, and the wind providing winter peak energy.
Pete McCabe, president and CEO, Onshore Wind, GE Renewable Energy, said, "By leveraging the complementary nature of wind and solar, this unique project shows how GE is driving technology innovation that will help customers deliver more renewable energy in an even more efficient manner."
Bank of America's purchase of the RECs from the project long term will cover the bank's electricity usage in the state and will contribute to its 2020 environmental operations goal of purchasing 100% renewable electricity.
"Accelerating the path to a sustainable future starts with creative thinking and projects that can help drive more low-carbon energy solutions in our communities," says Alex Liftman, Global Environmental executive at Bank of America. "Through supporting innovative renewable energy projects like this one, we continue to enhance our commitment to reduce our operational impacts on the environment."
The project will be owned by a subsidiary of Juhl Energy that pools together capital from the company and outside private investors. Juhl is further partnering with Faith Technologies, Inc., to construct the project and collaborate on building additional hybrid projects. Faith Technologies, Inc. is a national leader in electrical planning, engineering, design and installation that is headquartered in Menasha, Wisconsin and has regional offices throughout the country.
"This unique renewable energy project will provide a tremendous amount of value to the local community. The cost savings from purchasing the hybrid project's energy will help provide rate stability, benefiting all of our co-op members," said Tim Thompson, CEO of Lake Region Electric Cooperative. This project will be operational before year end 2018.

Mumbai's court grants bail to female Hindu priest in Malegaon blast case
Source: Xinhua| 2017-04-25 15:37:16|Editor: ying
NEW DELHI, April 25 (Xinhua) -- A High Court in Mumbai Tuesday granted bail to a female Hindu priest who was accused of orchestrating a blast in India's western state of Maharashtra's Malegaon town in September 2008, in which seven people were killed and 100 others injured.
Although the High Court in Mumbai released the female priest, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, on a bail bond of 500,000 rupees (8,000 U.S. dollars), another accused in the same case, Lt. Col. Shrikant Purohit, an army officer, has been denied bail.
The duo, who have been in judicial custody since their arrests nearly eight years ago, recently approached the High Court for bail after a trial court in Maharashtra hearing their case rejected their bail applications.
The High Court in Mumbai has directed Sadhvi Pragya to submit her passport to the country's anti-terror National Investigation Agency and ordered her to report as and when required.
The Malegaon blasts took place on September 29, 2008, when two bombs fitted on a motorcycle exploded in the town, some 270 km from Mumbai. The duo were arrested in October that year and both were charged with plotting the blasts as part of a pro-Hindu group, Abhinav Bharat.
The National Investigation Agency last year dropped charges against Sadhvi Pragya and five others in the case, saying there was no solid proof against them. But it recommended prosecuting Lt. Col. Purohit for conspiracy in the case.

The vining pea campaign gets underway this week, as Britain's growers bring home freshly-harvested peas ready for freezing within 150 minutes of leaving the field.
After last year's washout summer hit UK pea production by 45%, this season's campaign is forecast to mark a return to more 'normal' yields for this great British staple.
Growing conditions have certainly been different this year. Although the late spring has delayed crop development, the cooler, windier weather has reduced disease incidence, and growers are looking forward to a more straightforward harvest than last year when harvesting machines struggled to cope with swamp-like conditions.
The UK is the largest producer of peas for freezing in Europe, growing around 35,000 hectares of vining peas each year – the equivalent of 70,000 football pitches.
Indeed the UK is 90% self-sufficient in peas thanks to a unique East-facing seaboard which is ideally suited to pea production.
As the giant pea viners start rolling, growers up and down the east coast of England and Scotland are working hard to gather the crop during the short 10-week harvest season. With each harvester weighing in at over 26 tonnes, these gigantic machines are often mounted on tracks to reduce soil compaction.
Every year British consumers enjoy 150 million kgs of frozen peas, providing year-round health benefits as an important source of vitamins, protein, fibre and essential nutrients.
Pea production also offers significant environmental benefits. As a key part of the farming rotation, the pea break crop helps return Nitrogen to the soil and allows growers to reduce their fertiliser use for future cropping patterns. Planting peas as a break crop also enables growers to cut back on weed control chemicals in following crops.
"Over the next couple of months, Britain's vining pea growers will harvest the equivalent of 2 billion individual portions of peas," explains James Hallett, chief executive of the British Growers Association. "Home-grown peas remain the gold standard for quality, taste and flavour, a key source of healthy nutrients and a 'green' option for Britain's growers.


The lower level of this Delafield home has come of age, transformed from kids' hangout to adult gathering room. The homeowners love their beautiful outdoor living area built by Rob Miller Homes a few years ago, so when they were ready to remodel the lower level, they naturally turned to the RMH team again. This elegant space was renovated with grownups in mind, from its sophisticated finishes to its connoisseur-approved wine racks. The homeowners are avid wine collectors and wanted the design to accommodate and display their collection. The lower level also includes a guest bedroom (complete with cool murphy beds), a workout room (complete with bubbler), and a luxurious spa bathroom.

#2 Sir Donald Bradman reversing the batting order
The Don surprised many with his move
Way back during cricket's teen days when captains were adventurous and audacious and were ready to lose a game rather than seeing it end up in a draw, Test cricket was a clash of tactics and tacticians. Test cricket wasn't about brutality or enthrallment but was more about who drops his guard first much like the battle between two marksmen.
Donald Bradman embarked on his odyssey as Australia's Test captain in the 1936/37 Ashes Test Series in Australia. Often colluded by rain that made the wicket wet, Australia lost both of the first two Test matches. Moves were being made against Bradman and people believed that captaincy was taking a toll on his batting. England besotted with victories in the first two games, were seething with aplomb.
So, the curtain for the third Test in Melbourne was raised with such a prelude- 350,534 people in the stadium earnestly groveling Bradman to alter the fortunes. Bradman won the toss and elected to bat first on "an island of green".
Bradman entered the crease when the score was 7-1 and perished after adding 13 to his team's score. Australia's sorry story continued as they once again found themselves in a familiar territory- Bradman failing and the rest of the batting deficient of virility.
Rains came roaring down when the score was 181 for six, douching the pitch. Play was closed for the day and when the next day began Bradman decided to declare his team's innings at 200 for nine, forcing England to bat in a wicket that played worse than a gravel filled rail track.
"I could scarcely believe my eyesight as I saw the ball's preposterous behaviour. It described all manner of angles and curves; it was here, there, everywhere, spitting, darting, fizzing. One good length ball would rear to the batsman's chin; another exactly the same length, would flash into the blockhole like a stone skimming over ice", wrote Neville Cardus.
England soon found themselves seven down for 76 and Bradman decided to banish his close catchers to avoid a collateral damage. He wanted to keep England batting until the conditions improved for batting. England's seniors, on the other hand, goaded captain Gubby Allen to declare their innings when the score was 68 for four, so that they could get Australia to bat again in the grave yard.
But Allen worried that should he do that Bradman might declare Australia's innings immediately and make England chase on the same pitch. The next day was a rest day and when play resumed on the following day, conditions may have improved for batting and hence, Allen feared that he might end up being a fool at the end of the Test.
It was now a battle of tactics. It was a contest between two marksman and one will have to pull his trigger at one point, compromising his position to the enemy. The English captain finally threw in the dice with the score 76 for nine and 45 minutes still left for play. But the Don was not done yet.
He went up to the umpires George Borwick and John Scottand asked them whether they knew what Allen was doing. "We take it he has declared," came the answer. "Well he didn't actually say so," denied Bradman. "I see what you mean," Borwick replied, "I'll go and confirm it." The umpire went to the English dressing room to confirm the declaration and the English captain responded saying "That little blighter! Of course I have declared." 45 minutes now became 40 minutes.
But the Don wasn't happy yet. Hence, he devised another ploy. Conditions with sunshine were bound to improve and he didn't want bowlers to dabble with the bat in good batting conditions. So, he decided to send his bowlers as sacrificial lambs on a track that was spitting barbs, hoping that they would hold ground until the clouds of predicament cleared.
To stadium wide chuckles walked in Fleetwood-Smith and O'Reilly, Australia's recognized specialist tail-enders. O'Reilly perished off his first ball. Out walked Australia's number ten at number three- a position that the world's best batsman held in that line up. (Oh dear Time! How funny your scripts can be at times?) The pair successfully appealed for bad light as England could only muster 18 balls.
The day after the following day, when play resumed, the pitch was a redeemed character. Batting became easy and Bradman walked in at number seven and bashed 270 runs as England lost the match by 365 runs.
Shackles were broken and Australia came from behind to win the Ashes Series 3-2, the only time a team won a series after trailing by two in 5 a five match series.

An Orange man was arrested after he begged officers to arrest him, according to information from the Orange Police Department.
At approximately 6:15 p.m. officials responded to a call in reference to to a argument in the 1000 block of Dupont Drive.
Upon arrival officials were informed that one of the men was drunk. Officials said they told the man to go to his room and sleep it off since no one in the home wanted to press charges. The man then allegedly, repeatedly asked officers to arrest him, officials said.
Authorities told the man that he had not done anything wrong and told the man that he would only be arrested if he was intoxicated on public property. The man then reportedly told officials to wait as he changed clothing and then walked out onto the roadway, OPD said.
William Fritz Lorenz was arrested and booked at the Orange County Jail on a charge of public intoxication.

Q: After merging, but before committing, how can I force a manual re-merge on a specific file? During a merge a certain file was auto merged successfully. I now have the results staged but not committed. However I am unhappy with the result in a specific file and want to initiate a 3 way merge manually on said file. Effectively, I want to get the same result as if I'd had a conflict on this file and used git mergetool to resolve it. You might say I want to 'force' the conflict.
How can I do this?
I think I would use git merge-file but it is not clear to me how to tell it which branches/files to use.

A: You can do:
git checkout -m <filename> to remove the file's changes. A git status then shows the file is now listed under 'Unmerged paths:'.  Then force it to re-merge using git mergetool.

Q: Dotted border from left to right (between two elements) I have no idea how to do this one.
What I want to do is print dots between Uncategorized and 82,359, or at least the illusion, i guess i have to do something with a dotted border

        82,359
        Uncategorized

The CSS
.list a {
display: block;
padding: 6px 10px;
}

.list .count {
font-weight: normal;
float: right;
color: #6b7a8c;
}

What I want is this:

What I've tried, and the only way i can think of is

 between .count and Uncategorized, but that add the border on top of the two

A: Based on the example used here: Dot Leaders as referenced by Black Hat Samurai, slight change to the markup and the CSS from the link helped it.
Added comments to explain how the code works.

ul.list {
  max-width: 220px; /* Set the width for the whole list */
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}
ul.list li:before {
  float: left; /* Let the before pseudo element start from the leftmost position of each list item */
  width: 0;
  white-space: nowrap;
  content: ".....................................................";
  color: #ccc;
  font-weight: bold;
}
ul.list span:first-child {
  background: white;
  padding-right: 0.2em;
}
ul.list span + span {
  float: right; /* Align the count to the rightmost position of the list */
  background: white;
  padding-left: 0.2em;
}

      Uncategorized
      82,359

A: I'd go with something like this

.list {
  min-width:15em;
}
.first {
  float:left;
  margin-right:0.5em;
  color:#2B91AF
}
.price {
  float:right;
  margin-left:0.5em;
  width:4em;
  text-align: right;
}
.list:after {
  content:'';
   border-bottom:dotted 2px tomato;
  display:block;
  overflow:hidden;
  height:0.8em;
}

  Co-Pay:
  $150.00

  Pay:
   $5.00

  Co-Pay: item
   $15.00

  Co-Pay: great deal
   $1.00

            Uncategorized
            82,359

I used a dirty hack. First of all,  tag now has a height 13. Then I added background-color: white (or whatever) to remove dots under the text. Please be careful of using this solution!

A: Try this..
HTML

        Uncategorized

    content: "..................................";
    white-space: nowrap;

Tamagotchi Connection V1 by Bandai
The Tamagotchi (たまごっち) [tamaɡotꜜtɕi] is a handheld digital pet, created in Japan by Akihiro Yokoi [ja] of WiZ and Aki Maita[citation needed] of Bandai. It was released by Bandai on November 23, 1996 in Japan and May 1997 in the rest of the world, quickly becoming one of the biggest toy fads of the 1990s and early 2000s. As of 2010, over 76 million Tamagotchis had been sold worldwide.[1] As of 2017, over 82 million units have been sold.[2] Most Tamagotchi are housed in a small egg-shaped computer with an interface usually consisting of three buttons, although the number of buttons may vary.
According to Bandai, the name is a portmanteau combining the two Japanese words tamago (たまご), which means "egg", and the end of "watch".[3] Consequently, the name is sometimes romanized as "Tamagotch" without the "i" in Japan. Most Tamagotchi characters' names end in chi (ち) in Japanese, with few exceptions.

5 Criticism and controversy
Tamagotchi was invented by Aki Maita for which she won the 1997 Ig Nobel Prize for economics.[4][5] Tamagotchi is a keychain-sized virtual pet simulation game. The characters are colorful and simplistically designed creatures based on animals, objects, or people. Beginning with the 2004 Tamagotchi Plus/Connection, a second wave of Tamagotchi toys emerged, featuring a different graphic design by JINCO[6] and gameplay which elaborated upon the first generations. However, the story behind the games remained the same: Tamagotchis are a small alien species that deposited an egg on Earth to see what life was like, and it is up to the player to raise the egg into an adult creature.[7] The creature goes through several stages of growth, and will develop differently depending on the care the player provides, with better care resulting in an adult creature that is smarter, happier, and requires less attention. Gameplay can vary widely between models, and some models, such as TamagoChu, require little to no care from the player.
Upon activating the toy, an egg appears on the screen. After setting the Tamagotchi unit's clock, the egg will wiggle for several minutes, and then hatch into a small pet. In later versions, inputting the player's name and birthday is also required when setting the clock, and at birth, the player can name the pet and learn of its family group and/or gender. The player can care for the pet as much or as little as they choose, and the outcome depends on the player's actions. The first Tamagotchis could only be paused by going to set the clock, effectively stopping the passage of time in the game, but in later models a pause function was included.
Pets have a Hunger meter, Happy meter, Bracelet meter and Discipline meter to determine how healthy and well behaved the pet is. There is also an age and weight check function for the current age and weight of the pet. Filling up the Hunger meter can be achieved by feeding the pet a meal (usually a loaf of bread) or a snack (usually a piece of candy). Filling up the Happy meter can be achieved by playing mini games with the pet or by feeding it a snack (there are no limits to this, but there are limits to how many meals can be fed). Mini games vary between versions, but mainly involve guessing which way the pet will turn (left or right) within 5 tries. The Discipline meter can be filled by pressing the "scold" option when a pet calls for attention but refuses to play or be fed a meal. The pet will leave droppings around the screen from time to time, and can become sick if they are not cleaned up. Before the pet goes to the bathroom, it will make a face and stink lines will appear around it. If the player activates the toilet icon during this animation, but before the pet has gone to the bathroom, the pet will use a toilet instead. When done repeatedly, the pet can be potty trained.
If the pet gets sick, a skull icon appears next to the pet as it sits still at the bottom of the screen, with an unhappy expression. The pet can become sick for a number of reasons such as overfeeding of snacks or failing to clean up droppings. The pet can die if sickness is left unchecked. The pet can be cured by pressing the "Medicine" option. Usually a pet will not play or be fed a meal when sick.
Pets would often fall asleep during the night time. Originally players had the option of manually turning off the light when the pet fell asleep (it would turn on the light by itself when it awoke). In order to raise a healthy pet, players were encouraged but not required to turn off the lights when the pet fell asleep. In recent versions, the pet turns off the light on its own when it went to sleep. Recent versions also allow waking the pet for a short time once it has fallen asleep. V5 had the three children look outside on the window when they wake up in the morning and before bed at night.
Life cycle[edit]
The pet goes through several distinct stages of development throughout its life cycle. Each stage lasts a set amount of time, depending on the model of the toy, and when it reaches a new stage, the toy plays a jingle, and the pet's appearance changes. The pet can "die" due to poor care, old age, sickness, and in a few versions, predators. The pet's life cycle stages are Baby, Child, Teen, and Adult. Later Tamagotchi models have added a Senior model. Usually the pet's age will increase once it has awakened from its sleep time.
Poor care can cause a pet to die, but it can also die of old age. If an old pet dies without producing offspring, the family line has ended. The Japanese Tamagotchi toys usually feature a ghost and headstone when the pet dies, but English language versions have been changed to show an angel at death, or simply a floating UFO to indicate its return to its home planet. Often at times it will show the transition graphic, after which it will show the pet appearing to be sick, but with the skull flashing, beeping as it flashes. It then will show a happy version of the pet flashing with a longer beep, with an egg on the right side of the screen, after which it will show the pet as an angel (as indicated above). Pressing the middle button shows the age at which the pet died. After the pet dies, one can restart from the beginning by pressing A and C.
New mechanics[edit]
In recent models, the player earns currency called Gotchi Points while playing games, and can use the currency in an in-game shop to buy different foods, toys, accessories, or even room decorations for the pet.
Connectivity[edit]
Using infrared communication, two players can link their toys and the pets may form friendships, play games, exchange gifts, and even marry. Infrared connection was introduced with the Plus/Connection, but the Japanese Chou Jinsei Enjoy Tamagotchi was the first model to interact with a computer. Since then, many subsequent models have also been able to interact with the E-Tamago or Tamatown websites by using alphanumeric codes generated by the toy to log into the website's Flash game. After generating a code, the toy remains paused until the player either enters a logout code or cancels. The player may play minigames in the town to earn Gotchi Points, or use Gotchi Points to buy items in the town shops. To transfer points and items back to the toy, the player signs out of the Flash game and is given a code to input back into the toy. Newer models, such as the Tamagotchi 4U and the Tamagotchi 4U+ can connect to other Tamagotchi 4U units, as well as smartphones and tablets, using near field communication. Unlike previous models, the Tamagotchi 4U does not have infrared, which consequently caused it to sell rather poorly.
Marriage and family[edit]
The Mesutchi and Osutchi Tamagotchis were the first to introduce marriages and offspring, and the feature returned in the Plus/Connection and subsequent models. Two players with a male and female pet may link their toys and allow the pets to develop a friendship and fall in love. Once the pets have raised their relationship meter sufficiently, the pets may marry. The player can also choose to have their pet marry a random pet brought in by the "Matchmaker." Once married, the female will eventually produce two eggs, keeping one and leaving one with the male. Since the parent will automatically guide the baby's life, the only care it needs from the player is medicine in the case of sickness. After a few days the parent will leave, and the player is left to care for a new generation. This can continue for as long as the player manages to care for the pets.
The Chou Jinsei Enjoy Tamagotchi also introduced the idea of character "families" or "groups." These "families" are a kind of classification for characters obtainable in the game, grouped mainly by appearance, though they are also associated with certain skills. A character of one group cannot grow into an adult of a different group, and if two pets of different groups marry and have an egg, the baby will be of the female's group. Tamagotchi M!X, the latest Japanese release, has a notable change to this feature; in this release, Tamagotchi offspring have merged traits from both of their parents.
Other[edit]
With the many different versions of the toy, there are other less common mechanics that influence the pet's growth, including but not limited to friendship with the player, varying types of skills, and career. The Chou Jinsei Enjoy Tamagotchi also introduced Skills, which can be built by playing certain games with the pet, or using certain toys or foods bought from the E-Tamago or in-game shops. Having certain skills can help the pet obtain a career, and if built up high enough, can unlock special characters.
When we were stuck on talk of the spectacular 3D graphics of Mario 64 and racing games, we saw a huge hit in the form of Tamagotchi — a tiny key chain boasting pictures made up of no more than 10 or 20 dots. At that time, I thought that Mario 64 had lost to Tamagochi [sic]. [laughs. Miyamoto quickly adds in English: "I'm serious."]
—Shigeru Miyamoto[8]
Main article: List of Tamagotchi releases
As of 2009, there have been over 44 Tamagotchi versions released since their creation in 1996, several of which were only released in Japan. Along with the original Tamagotchi, the first wave of Tamagotchi toys included Christmas, angel, and ocean themed versions. The newer versions began in 2004 with the Tamagotchi Plus, and the most recent version is the Japanese Tamagotchi M!X.
Internationally, in 2013, Tamagotchi Friends is the latest model, featuring a grayscale screen and a new NFC feature that enables owner to "bump" their Tamagotchi to trade items. An upgrade, called Tamagotchi Friends: Dream Town Digital Friend, was released in 2015. It has additional features, but can only be bought at online stores due to a lack of retailer interest in the product.
In early 2013, Bandai released an enhanced version of the original 1996 Tamagotchi as a free iOS and Android app named "Tamagotchi L.i.f.e.". A sequel to the game, "Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Angel", was released on February 26, 2014.
Video games[edit]
Since its debut, Tamagotchi has made its way onto several gaming platforms. Several early games feature gameplay similar to the original toys. A few party-style games appeared on major consoles, along with the Corner Shop series of simulation games and a few role playing games for the Nintendo DS.[9]

An arcade machine known as TamaStation is available in Japan from which players can win prizes for their Tamagotchi toy. This machine has several sequels, such as TamaStation 2.
In other media[edit]
Film[edit]
On June 5, 2007, it was announced by Reuters that an animated Tamagotchi film was to be released in December 2007. The film, Tamagotchi: The Movie, focuses on Mametchi, along with his friends Memetchi and Kuchipatchi. Introduced are Tanpopo, a human girl who Mametchi accidentally transports to the Tamagotchi Planet; and Chamametchi, the younger sister of Mametchi who is born during the film's events. Tamagotchi: The Movie was released on December 15, 2007, and was distributed by Toho Co. The film opened at number 3 at the box office on opening weekend.[10] On May 31, 2008, North American distributor Bandai Entertainment announced they had acquired the rights to the film.[11] The movie's first English release was a direct-to-DVD version, released on June 3, 2009 in Australia by Madman Entertainment. The UK DVD was released on September 14, 2009 via Manga Entertainment.
On December 20, 2008, a second film, known as Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe! was released into theaters. This film, introducing a new Tamagotchi known as Hapihapitchi, was later released on DVD, on June 26, 2009. Unlike the first film, Happiest Story in the Universe has not been dubbed in English, but an extremely rare English dub existed in the Philippines. Madman Entertainment intended to dub Happiest Story in the Universe!, but the dub was cancelled for unknown reasons.
On November 1, 2016, Bandai announced a new Tamagotchi short film called Tamagotchi: Secret Delivery Operation. The film was theatrically released alongside the Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama film on April 28, 2017, and was included in the Cocotama movie's DVD released on December 6th, 2017. The short film once again follows Mametchi and his friends, assigned to make an essential delivery to the Gotchi King when a giant mechanical claw controlled by the Spacy Brothers intervenes with the delivery.
Anime[edit]
A Japanese-only anime series called Anime TV de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (アニメ TVで発見!! たまごっち, lit. "Found on Anime TV!! Tamagotchi") aired from July 7, 1997 to March 21, 1998 on Fuji TV.
In December 2007, Bandai Japan began airing Saa Ikō! Tamagotchi (さぁイコー!たまごっち) a week before the release of the first film. In December 2008, Bandai America dubbed the series, Let's Go! Tamagotchi, and began streaming it on YouTube in both English and Japanese, with captions for up to seven other languages.[12]
In 2009, another anime television series was announced, called Tamagotchi! (たまごっち!). It began in October 2009 and ended in March 2015. A short-lived English dub of the Tamagotchi anime aired in Australia on channel GO! from 2010-2014; only the first 26 episodes have been dubbed and have been repeated until 2014, when GO! took the anime out of their channel. The anime has been dubbed in Tagalog in the Philippines. There is also a dub in Taiwan airing on YoYo TV.
From November 23, 2013 to December 2014, Bandai America has been adapting the second Tamagotchi anime, Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream, into "webisodes" promoting the latest addition to the franchise outside Japan, Tamagotchi Friends.[13]
Animated video[edit]
An animated video, Tamagotchi Video Adventures, was produced by 7th Level, Inc. in association with Bandai in 1997. Directed by Dan Kuenster, produced by Susan Deming and written by Kuenster, Deming and David Lewman. It runs approximately 42 and a half minutes long. Cosmotchi sends the Tamagotchi to Earth to collect an object that best exemplifies the planet for the Tamagotchi Museum. An original animated music video ("What's a Tamagotchi?") and a how-to-draw Tamagotchi featurette, starring director Kuenster follow the movie.
Momus's 1997 album Ping Pong features a song called "Tamagotchi Press Officer", which mocked Bandai's advertising strategy.[14]
A song called "Tamagotchi" was produced by the music band Sqeezer in 1997.
In Japan, the band Kigurumi, after gaining new members and becoming a trio, released their single "Tamagotchi" on November 21, 2007, which was also the theme music for the film.[15] It was dubbed in English along with the English dub of the movie.
The Eurodance group Daze song entitled "Together Forever" uses many Tamagotchi references.
The Los Angeles-based pop duo LOONER released their tribute to the toy in May 2009 with the single "I Love My Tamagotchee!".[16]
The Filipino band Eraserheads made a song called "Tamagotchi Baby".
The German band "Die Ärzte" also made a song called "Tamagotchi".
The French singer Lorie made a song called "La TamaDance" in 2014 to the contest TamaDance.
Tamagotchi!, the anime based on Tamagotchi, also features numerous original songs.
Polish rapper duo Taconafide (Taco Hemingway and Quebonafide) released their song Tamagotchi in 2018; it has reached the position 1 on many Polish charts.
Criticism and controversy[edit]
During the 1990s, children frequently took Tamagotchi digital pets to school because in the first two releases (Generation 1 and Generation 2), a character could die in less than half a day if it did not receive adequate care. Concerns over class disruption as well as general distraction from schoolwork eventually prompted many schools to ban the product.[17]

Earlier last week, on 17 November 2016, Sony released an update to the system software for the PS4, brining the current firmware version to v4.06. This is a minor update to the software, simply improving the system performance, but it's a mandatory update. You'll need to update your PS4 to v4.06 before you are able to access the PlayStation Network and play online.


The real estate market is on an upswing where buyer and investors are coming into the new launches and resale markets while land bids remain bullish and the en bloc sales are gathering momentum. Dr Lee Nai Jia, Head of Research for Edmund Tie & Co, predicts that prices could attain a 8 – 12% growth for 2018. Although there are more than 68 thousand units unsold or in the pipeline, he believes that the supply can be absorbed by the level of average market demand as seen in 2009 to 2013.

Supplement to: Steinke, S et al. (2005): Mg/Ca ratios of two Globigerinoides ruber (white) morphotypes: Implications for reconstructing past tropical/subtropical surface water conditions. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 6, Q11005, https://doi.org/10.1029/2005GC000926
Tests of the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber (white; d'Orbigny) have become a standard tool for reconstructing past oceanic environments. Paleoceanographers often utilize the Mg/Ca ratios of the foraminiferal tests for reconstructing low-latitude ocean glacial-interglacial changes in sea surface temperatures (SST). We report herein a comparison of Mg/Ca measurements on sample pairs (n = 20) of two G. ruber (white) morphotypes (G. ruber sensu stricto (s.s.) and G. ruber sensu lato (s.l.)) from surface and downcore samples of the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. G. ruber s.s. refers to specimens with spherical chambers sitting symmetrically over previous sutures with a wide, high arched aperture, whereas G. ruber s.l. refers to a more compact test with a diminutive final chamber and small aperture. The G. ruber s.s. specimens generally show significantly higher Mg/Ca ratios compared to G. ruber s.l. Our results from the Mg/Ca ratio analysis suggest that G. ruber s.l. specimens precipitated their shells in slightly colder surface waters than G. ruber s.s. specimens. This conclusion is supported by the differences in delta18O and delta13C values between the two morphotypes. Although it is still unclear if these two morphotypes represent phenotypic variants or sibling species, our findings seem to support the hypothesis of depth and/or seasonal allopatry within a single morphospecies.

Princess Charlotte is getting even cuter with age. Ahead of Prince William and Kate Middleton's little girl's fourth birthday on Thursday, Kensington Palace released three new photos of Charlotte. Check out the birthday snaps, which were taken by the Duchess of Cambridge. (Published Thursday, May 2, 2019)
The first day of school can be stressful but Princess Charlotte will have her older brother to lean on if necessary.
Kensington Palace said Friday that 4-year-old Charlotte will join her brother Prince George at Thomas's Battersea school in September. The fee-paying school has 560 students between the ages of 4 and 13 and seeks to produce "caring citizens of the world," according to its website.
Headmaster Simon O'Malley said the school is "delighted" that Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, have chosen their school for Charlotte.
O'Malley said "we greatly look forward to welcoming her and all of our new pupils to the school in September."

Mojito drinkers will find the rum jungle of their dreams at Bacardi Mojito Lab, a trendy lounge with a strict policy of no beer, no wine, and no cider – it's all about the rum.
Decked out in a laboratory décor of white brick walls, charcoal flooring, neon green lighting, and high steel tables, the venue is a popular destination for sophisticated party girls and chic young professionals in the mood to sample creative mojitos mixed up by the skilled bartenders.
After-work drinkers loosen their ties as the evening wears on and crowds of cool couples, post-grads, and hipsters alike swarm the sleek bar for fruity mojitos and some animated conversation, usually to the upbeat backdrop of deck-spinning guest DJs.
When not in use by tipsy bachelorette parties, the private downstairs room is given over to mojito-making classes, perfect for those who want to get in on the action.
Great for a fashionable night out, Bacardi Mojito Lab is the ideal choice for rum lovers looking for perfectly mixed cocktails – and perhaps the chance to mix a few of their own.
Continue the cocktail making fun at home, or pick up some great presents – the bar also sells cocktail recipe books and mojito kits.
Chic office workers, young professionals, sophisticated couples, trendy students, post-grads, and hipsters, early 20s+.
Weekly events include a mojito-making competition between local bars, cocktail-making classes every day but Wednesday for groups of four to twelve people, and guest DJs in the bar spinning R&B, jazz, and Top 40.
Monthly competitions for the best flair in bartending, usually held on Sunday evenings.
Snacks including falafel and shrimp mojito pancakes. Special 20% menu discount for professional caterers/service industry people on Sundays.
Snacks €8–€10. Mojitos: virgin €6, original €8, fruity €10, special €12–€14. Mojito Lab classes €35–€45/90 minutes.
Smart trendy: suits with a twist, button-downs, fitted jeans, office attire, dresses, sandals or heels.
Fridays and Saturdays for a good crowd of mojito lovers looking to party all night.
Le Motel (8 Passage Josset) serves up plenty of the same colorful cocktails.
The mojito isn't just a drink in Paris; it's an obsession. Many bars make them, but the Mojito Lab offers the best in both quality and selection... I especially recommend passionfruit. The music is great too, but you'll have to go elsewhere if you're looking to dance.

There are a lot of advantages of getting your roof coated. These coatings ensure that any chemical, physical or water damage may affect the building. This will definitely be a cost saver and a lot of the buildings suffer from unwarranted leakages which end up causing a lot of damages to the building as well as the materials stored in also are affected. You could increase the lifespan of the roof by almost two decades with the application of roof coating. This would be a great cost saver for the owner with lesser maintenance costs to look forward to. Make a great choice by Roof Coating .
The coatings are ideal when you want to reduce the temperatures of the building. If you are having air conditioning units in the building, they will have lesser load and you will end up saving fuel costs as the reflective coatings that are available to reflect the light and thus help reduce temperatures to a great extent.
The temperatures greatly vary in different regions, rural and urban air temperatures have taken a shift and you will need a better kind of roofing or a coating on it to prevent the heat and reflect the light. It also prevents so much use of other fuels to cool the buildings and help decrease the carbon footprint.
Every time when you have a problem with your roofing you end up tearing it apart and getting a new one done in its place, the old ones just fill up landfills which is a great disaster as these aren't biodegradable materials and remain in the environment for a long, long time. If you coat an existing roof, it would be a great way to save money and ensure you don't add on to damage the environment further.
The roof coating actually adds life to the roof and building as well. It has to be known that when you are applying an additional coat or membrane to the roofing you are actually increasing the life of the roof and the building as a whole. There will a lot less leakage and other issues that you would have faced if not the coating was put in place.
You will be able to cut down the energy costs that are burdensome when the weather changes. The coating reflects sunlight to a great extent. People would prefer to restore their roofs because it would be lesser expenditure as well a whole lot of waste put into the landfill. The restoration and the coating of the roof will help make the roof sturdier and last longer. It is one of the better options, but you will consult the roofer who will study in detail at what extent the roof has issues and whether restoration and coating will do the job or there is a need of replacement.

Kris Shannon: Why Sonny Bill Williams is our greatest sports star
Sonny Bill Williams signs autographs at the captain's run at Westpac Stadium yesterday. The way he conducts himself off the pitch adds to his mana. Photo / Brett Phibbs
By: Kris Shannon
kris.shannon@nzherald.co.nz @kshanz
Any objective sports journalist will say they cheer not for players and teams but for the story.
And that's certainly true for this correspondent, who in the past week has rooted for the Lions to beat the All Blacks, purely for the sake of the series, and for Oracle to threaten an America's Cup comeback, purely for comedic purposes.
But now those high crimes have been confessed, I must additionally admit one contravention to the basic journalistic tenet of impartiality: I always cheer for Sonny Bill Williams.
On the field, I cheer for the physicality with which he tackles and the flair with which he offloads.
Off the field, I applaud the fact he's a dedicated father, a devout Muslim, and an example of professionalism his teammates now follow.
I love that he's unique, a point of difference in a sporting landscape featuring so many players who, while sure to show their personality in private, resemble mindless clones in public.
And I love that, in some quarters, he remains strangely unloved. While I'm far from alone as an SBW fan, his singular combination of qualities has made Williams the target of derision and sparked attempts to minimise his accomplishments, as New Zealanders are wont to do.
For all those accomplishments, the idea persists that he's a showpony, due to how often he finds the spotlight, or a renegade, due to the temerity he displayed following his sporting dream across codes.
Which means it's still contentious to say Williams is underrated. And it's still controversial to suggest he's the most talented athlete this country has produced in recent memory, a debate that in my mind is unarguable.
Setting aside his boxing ability -- the extent of which we'll never know -- becoming one of the world's best in two sports is an incredible achievement.
All Blacks: 'No one rates us, we don't care'
One test could decide future of Lions
Wilkinson backing Gatland's big gamble
Marshall: Lions pack need to be more mobile
The codes of rugby and league may be closely aligned but there's a countless supply of failed converts to explain the difficulty of such a task.
Yet beyond his performances for the Kiwis and All Blacks, the main reason I cheer for Williams is his exploits outside the lines, the latest example coming after the All Blacks' win over the Lions last weekend, when he gave his shorts and socks to a young Lions fan in the stands.
Those selfless deeds can still make the cynical roll their eyes, suggesting Williams' chief talent is making every moment about himself, but away from the headline-grabbing incidents, his generous nature is captured on social media.
Instead of the meaningless platitudes that appear almost automatically generated on his peers' accounts, Williams' Twitter feed illustrates his affection for his fans, friends and, especially, family.
It also, notably when Ramadan ended last week, demonstrates the depths of his faith. Which again, is another aspect of his life that sets Williams apart.
More and more, though, his teammates have been following the lead of SBW, not with regards to religion but certainly his dedication to health.
Williams is notoriously discerning with what goes into his body, eschewing alcohol altogether and dabbling in many different methods to ensure he's as equipped as possible to handle the rigours of sport at the highest level.
His work ethic has clearly inspired those around him, with teammate Israel Dagg describing Williams as "the ultimate professional", and it goes some way to explaining how he's flourished in multiple codes.
It also goes some way to explaining why Williams has attracted so many fans -- and a fair few detractors.
He's different in almost every move he makes and, while there will be dissenters, I think that's worth cheering for.

Q: What's scarier than a Halloween horror movie?
A: A 7 pm Orgo exam!
Yes, my friends: this is not a particularly festive Halloween for the Georgetown post-baccs, who are quivering with dread at our second Orgo test. It is, however, one of my favorite holidays (you had me at pumpkin and horror movies), and it would be remiss of me not to at least post something orange.
I haven't gotten everything right in my return to student life, but one thing I have managed to do admirably is to maintain wholesome and pleasurable eating habits. Even on my busiest days, I try to whip up at least something that's as tasty as it is healthy. Yesterday, this was one of the speedy snacks I made to keep me company in the library: a seasonally orangesweet potato hummus and beet nori roll.
As you all know, I have an untraditional approach to nori rolls: I rarely ever make them with rice, but I often make them with nut pates, hummus, jicama or parsnip rice, and even leftover juice pulp. I also always add veggies: this is a great way to use up odds and ends from your raw veggies, and it's also a nice way to finish off some leftover salad (I often stuff kale salad into my nori rolls). Nori rolls are fast, easy, and they're a nice, raw alternative to regular whole grain wraps, without having to go through the trouble of dehydrating a raw wrap recipe. Plus, you get the added benefit of a nutrient-dense and iodine rice sea vegetable: what's not to like?
I love the color of this beautiful and unique roll. It's not quite Halloween coloring (I'd have to find a black vegetable, which is rare and doesn't sound particularly appealing to me), but it is vibrantly autumnal. Additionally, sweet potatoes and beets taste fabulous together, and the touch of sesame in the hummus recipe makes it all sing.
1) Spread about 1/3 cup hummus over the bottom half of your nori sheet.
2) Add the beet matchsticks and greens to the center of the hummus. Roll the nori sheet up, starting at the bottom edge and moving to the top, and seal the nori with some water. Cut into slices, and serve.
A quick, easy, veggie-packed, and flavorful snack. This is also a great lunch component, and would be a fantastic accompaniment to a nutrient dense salad our soup.
With a little creativity (that is, thinking to stick some hummus into a nori roll) and color (orange+scarlet) it's easy to make even the busiest of days a little brighter.
And on that note, I have absolutely no business blogging today. Wish me luck this evening, and Happy Halloween! Tomorrow's post will feature a Halloween themed sweet treat, which I promise you will be more tempting than leftover trick or treat candy.
Previous Post: « Spicy Curry Kale Chips–Raw and Vegan!
Good luck on your exam! Not cool that it's on Halloween!
this is the perfect roll for me! i don't use rice in my nori rolls either and this is a perfect way to break my cauliflower rice rut! i love raw beets as well but only if they are small bites, they will wreck your teeth hah super crunch! best of luck tonight, i know how horrid orgo exams can be. you just have to train your hands to follow the mechanism for each reaction. i think it's so hard because we can't see all the movements with our eyes..well at least that was my problem ha!
Good luck, Gena!! Remember you have superfood super-brain-powers! (Placebo/framing effects are big on exams!) And those rolls look perfectly Halloweeny to me- orange and black, plus blood red!? I'm behind on your blog, but those kale chips have me salivating and inspired to go hunt down a green-colored lunch!
You may think you have no business blogging but that recipe was worth sharing. I love that you don't use rice. I am just..meh…with rice. I'd much rather have something like sweet tater hummus which is full of flavor compared to rice which always seems much more lackluster to me. And I bet the crunchy raw beet with the soft potato hummus is a great texture contrast. Sounds perfect!
last night i was at an omnivore dinner (not a party) and brought sushi for myself. i couldn't afford or have the space to make enough for everyone, sadly, so it was just going to be for me while the rest of them ate meat. but someone thought it looked so good they helped themselves. i was glad that it attracted them even though it was veggie sushi, i think it's an appealing dish for anyone.
i love the idea of sweet potato in there. hijiki is a black veggie!
Good luck on your Orgo exam!
And thanks tens of times over for introducing me to the idea of fillers other than rice as the foundation for nori rolls! I like rice in mine, but when I make sushi at home I am often put off by the idea of making the rice (lazy, I know…), but to use leftover dips and such – GENIUS!
Thank you for reminding me to make your sweet potato hummus again – it was one of the first recipes of yours I tried a few months ago and quickly became one of my favourites.
These rolls look exquisite – I love how the beets "bleed" into the hummus, very Halloween appropriate 🙂 Good luck on your exam!
These look delicious and I love the fall theme. I need to start making my own sushi and getting creative like you! Good luck on the Orgo test tomorrow!!
Good luck! I never would have though tot combine sweet potatoes and beets… and I have both in my fridge right now… perfect!
Looks great! I harvested the beets from my garden last weekend, so I may try this.
Good luck on your exam! I love sweet potatoes (or butternut squash) in hummus. It elevates it to a whole other level, which is saying a lot considering how good hummus is on it's own.
Yum, great idea, they're beautiful!
Yikes on the exam, good luck! These look wonderful and the pics are amazing with vibrant colors!
When I read your blog suddenly I remind my college canteen days with my friends. But today they are not with me, all are engaged his personal life. But still they want to meet me and me also. Do your exam without any tension. Be free mind. Best luck your exam.
oh what a great combo! you seem to never run out of new nori roll ideas!
These nori rolls are gorgeous! Wowie.
The colors in the nori rolls are outstanding!!! Beets + Sweet Potatoes are like heaven together…all of that earthy flavor combines well!
I hope the exam went well! I, in all seriousness, was just wondering what to do with a couple sweet potatoes and beets I have lying around. You are a mind reader!!
Beet and yam is such a wonderful combo visually (I've used it before like that) but having it enfolded in the black nori sheet takes it all to another level.
Hey girl! These look beautiful! I love love love me some beet, and I have just been getting back into sea veggies as well. I think that these are an amazing idea. My mom actually called me this morning, asking if I had seen your post today! She will certainly be making a batch of your sweet potato hummus, if nothing else! I hope your exam went well!! Love and hugs!
Oh wonderful. I've been meaning to make the hummus for the last few weeks and have some beets to use up as well.
I feel I should probably disclaim that I'm not vegan but I'm always on the lookout for ways to add more veggies into my diet.
I think it was visual appeal of this concoction that led to me deciding to try it.
While I did a HORRIBLE job of rolling (and discovered that slicing is mucho easier when the roll has chilled), the taste was amazing. First time I've ever eaten beets. I'm hooked. Now I have to see what else I can sneak beets into.
this looks amazing!!!!! miss you! I like raw beet as long as it's thin enough!
I love nori and I used to eat it more regularly but this reminded me that I've been neglecting it for far too long! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
Looks delicious! In your experience, how long does it last in the fridge?
Only a day or so — it's delicate.
I am very confused at the difference between sweet potatoes and yams. To me, sweet potatoes are lighter in colour, and yams are a dark orange. Your beautiful photo looks like you are using yams. Is there a difference between the two?


I took these pictures at Stephanie's on Newbury in Boston.
I loved the orange painted in the back of this classic built in sideboard. What a great way to update an antique! The color has allowed the rest of the decor in the room to head in a more contemporary direction.
The melon color is really just an accent to brighten things up when combined with the deeper tones in the lamp, carpet and seating.
This partition between tables is great looking in this traditional setting. It lets in the natural light from outside yet gives a bit of privacy to the tables.
The food was just as good as the decor! If you find yourself shopping on Newbury Street in Boston be sure to visit Stephanie's! It is right across the street from Nike Town!


So we are right on the trend line resistance again , and as you can see by the wick on the daily candle, the sellers have started entering, and some positioning trimming ahead of Sunday we think and OIL is up on the day again.
Remember This Quick Mover !!!!!!!!!!
