What comes to mind when I read the title? First, the title could not have been more right for such a woman.
Afeni was a very complex, angry and smart woman, whose choices were directed into a place for positive movement. She is a revolutionary in her own right.
A revolutionary is anyone resulting in a radical change: an individual attempting to effect a social or political change using extreme measures.
Tupac mother who was an insurgency of her time, proved to people that no matter where or what you come from you have a choice to make change. A woman of great substance, throughout the years, that have the same drive in her from the beginning.
In my opinion, the theme Evolution of a Revoloutionary suggests the clutivation and transformation of the traits that shape and produce greatness. The evolution process is a natral aspect of change and growth.
When you read the title, "Evolution of a Revolutionary," what comes to mind? What is a revolutionary and how does what you know about Afeni make this an accurate description of her life?
When I read the title "Evolution of a Revolutionary" the thing that comes to my mind is having changes in political or social views that can help better one's life. A Revolutionary is making changes or gaining new resolution upon an issues that exist and that someone or group of people what a change. From the reading of "Holler if you hear me" I know that Afeni is person who want to see changes on lives and other issues. She was a committed , passionate, and strong person who fought for what she wants. She wanted to see changes.
When I read the title Evolution of a Revolutionary, It makes me think of a war. Then When I read the word Revolutonary from the dictionary it meant war and change.
In the begining of this book, It talks about her son Tupac. Tupac gave her a house and she also was talking about how she owns a 56-acre farm in Lumberton, North Carolina. In her farm she owns cows and pigs and she likes to grow organic vegetables and she feeds the poor people who live there. She also talks about how her great-grandmother married a white guy. He was part Lumbee and part white.Afeni also felt that she couldn't walk anywhere with her sister because a group of guys in a car would call her names when she would walking with her sister.
When I was reading the book, I felt like Afeni was smart to have a farm to help the poor.
When I think of the title; I think of a story or process of someone who has evovled into greatness. I think the strong title must be of someone with strong character.
Revolutionary is defined as "marked by or resulting in radical change; one who supports or engages in revolution.
WOW! that definition should have just had Afeni's name. Because she is definitly a woman who fought for radical change. Most women would not have put the movement first. But she did, even before her children and that makes her a soldier. I must say she is a woman of her word and very trust worthy. Commitment is something serious to her and people love that about Afeni as well. She spent over half her life fighting for equality for our people. So with that, I must say through all of her faughts and mistakes I have all the respect for her that only one can offer.
When I read Evolution of a Revolutionary I think about war. I think about a battle that has taken place or a fight that is going on. I think of an important event happening that will change the world. I think of hard times. I also think of people doing whatever they can to make it where they are trying to go. When I did some research on Evolution of a Revolutionary I found out that it was the First World War was marked by a general economic crisis. At that point I realized that my opinion on the topic was almost correct.
Afeni was a tuff woman. She fought for what she believed in and she was a member of the Black Panther movement. The Black Panther movement was very big. The Black Panthers fought for what they believed in. They didn't take any disrespect. Afeni life was very hard. She was in and out of prison and she even did drugs. Her life was a war.
Afeni son Tupac also had a hard life. He basically raised himself and had to learn how to be a man. Blacks at tupac fought to change that. He motivated people and gave them the strength to stand up for what they believed in.
English 201 A 1-3 P.M.
When I hear "Evolution of a Revolutionary" what comes to mind is someone who has evolved in a better or different person over time fighting for what they believe in. The definition of Evolution is: a pattern formed by a series of movements. The definition of revolutionary is: marked by or resulting in radical change; one that supports or engages in revolution. Both of these definitions accurately define Afeni. She was a very strong willed woman who was not afraid to fight for what she believed in. She took care of her children the best she could while fighting for what she believed was right. Jasmine Guy picked the perfect title for her book she wrote based upon Afeni in my opinion.
When I read the title of the book I think of growing and changing completely for the better. Revolutionary is a movement in completely changing one's political view and one's way of thinking. This is an accurate description of Afeni because she had a great turning point in her life. She was a teacher and a normal young girl who became influenced in political movement. It changed her life and it made her who she is today.

Gold rush draws hundreds of dredging rafts to Amazon tributary
Hundreds of dredging rafts operated by illegal miners have gathered in a gold rush on the Madeira River, a major tributary of the Amazon, floating hundreds of miles as state and federal authorities dispute who is responsible for stopping them.
Hundreds of dredging rafts operated by illegal miners have gathered in a gold rush on the Madeira River, a major tributary of the Amazon, floating hundreds of miles as state and federal authorities dispute who is responsible for stopping them. The flotilla of rafts equipped with pumps are moored together in lines that nearly stretch across the vast Madeira, and a Reuters witness spotted plumes of exhaust indicating they are vacuuming the riverbed for gold.
"We counted no less than 300 rafts. They've been there at least two weeks and the government has done nothing," said Greenpeace Brazil activist Danicley Aguiar. The gold rush, triggered by rumors that someone had found gold there, began as world leaders gathered for a United Nations climate conference in Glasgow, where Brazil vowed https://www.reuters.com/business/cop/just-numbers-brazils-new-climate-pledge-draws-skepticism-2021-11-03 it had stepped up protection of the Amazon rainforest.
However, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has weakened https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-brazil-environment-fines-insight-idUKKCN2E80YU environmental enforcement since taking office in 2019, turning a blind eye to invasions of protected public and indigenous lands by illegal loggers https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-deforestation-data-shows-22-annual-jump-clearing-amazon-2021-11-18, cattle ranchers https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/brazil-deforestation-cattle and wildcat gold miners https://graphics.reuters.com/BRAZIL-INDIGENOUS/MINING/rlgvdllonvo. The Madeira flows some 2,000 miles (3,300 kilometers) from its source in Bolivia through the rainforest in Brazil and into the Amazon River.
The dredging rafts have floated downriver from the Humaita area, where there has been a surge in illegal gold mining, and were last seen some 400 miles (650 km) away in Autazes, a municipal district southeast of Manaus. A spokesperson for Brazil's environmental protection agency Ibama said the illegal dredging on the Madeira river was the responsibility not of the federal government but of Amazonas state and its environmental agency IPAAM.
The IPAAM said in a statement that the rafts anchored on the river were under federal jurisdiction, so the National Mining Agency (ANM) was responsible for licensing and it was up to the federal police to see if any crimes had been committed. River traffic and pollution was the Navy's area, IPAAM said. The ANM said it did not fall under their purview as they only oversaw legal mining, while criminal activity was a matter for the police and courts.
The Federal police said it was looking at the best way to deal with the problem and prevent environmental damage. "It's a free-for-all. None of the authorities are doing anything to stop illegal mining, which has become a epidemic in the Amazon," Aguiar of Greenpeace Brazil said.

For sale: a fixer upper where a plot to overthrow the crown was hatched.
THE RUINS of a centuries-old mansion where a bloody Scottish plot to overthrow the king was hatched has come on the market.
Grange House East Neuk, Fife, now stands as a secluded historic ruin – looking out across a local golf course and the Firth of Forth.
But 300 years ago the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 was planned by royal usurper James Malcolm within its walls.
Malcolm built the home in 1708 – and used it as the base for a bloody attempt to replace King George I of Britain with the exiled monarch James VIII and III.
The rebellion failed – and the house was burnt into ruins in the years since – but now any history buff with £150,000 to spare can buy the historic ruins to return them to their former glory.
The original plot of land which Grange House was built on has a history dating back to the 13th century.
From 1200 – 1500 nearby nuns grew vegetables and grain on the land to feed pilgrims travelling across the Firth of Forth from North Berwick towards St Andrews.
In 1708 James Malcolm – a fervent supporter of exiled Catholic King James VIII and III – bought the land, building a "classic Laird's house" on the site.
Fortified with a large surrounding wall on a high vantage point – and with a hidden secret chamber – it is now widely accepted that the house was built as a military base for his cause.
And it was within the walls of the house that the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 was planned to seize Scotland back from George I.
The rebellion officially began in August of 1715 – when the banner of James was raised in Aberdeenshire.
By October the 20,000 Jacobites had taken all of Scotland north of the Firth of Forth – but after an indecisive and bloody battle at Sheriffmuir the rebellion lost its momentum and floundered.
After the rebellion many Jacobites were taken prisoner, tried for treason and sentenced to death, and Malcolm was forced to forfeit his possessions and his home to the crown.
1868 – leaving only the basic stone structure.
Now the property and lands are available for any history buff with a handyman attitude to restore it to its former glory.
Planning permission has been granted to return the bare bones of the ruins to a residential property – although any restorer will have to abide to a strict set of regulations.
They will have to use traditional materials, including lime harled walls, cast iron rainwater goods and timber window frames.
And any new stonework will have to match the existing stone and the roof will be built with natural slate – making the property a labour of love for anyone looking to take it on.
Sharon Zaremski of Strutt & Parker said: "The East Neuk, in particular Elie and Earlsferry, is an incredibly popular area for holiday homes.
"Grange House offers a great chance to build two new houses with incredible views across the golf course to the Firth of Forth.

Q: Disable UIPageViewController when ModalViewController opened I am totaly new to this site, but I already like it :-)
I found it by searching for a question about the UIPageViewController.
I have a normal UIPageViewController App, in which I open a ModalViewController for setting up some settings...
Now the Problem: :-)
If I click on the done Button on the right side of the ModalView, to dismiss it, the PageViewController turnes the page, because he thinks that he is meant by that click ;-)
Can I disable the PageViewController GestureRecognizer as long as I have a ModalView opened?
Is there a method to disable and later his recognizer?
thank you for your help in advance...
cu Matze

A: It seems odd that your UIPageViewController would steal touches from a modal view presented over it. Unless, perhaps, you are embedding the modal view within the content of the UIPageViewController?
To answer your question -- you can easily disable the page view controller's gesture recognizers by enumerating its gestureRecognizers property (an NSArray):
for (UIGestureRecognizer *gr in [self.pageViewController gestureRecognizers]) {
    [gr setEnabled:NO];
}

Re-enable them later with setEnabled:YES.
UPDATE:
In iOS 6 UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll has been added. UIPageViewControllers that use this transition style return no gesture recognisers in the array returned by gestureRecognizers. Presumably page view controllers with this transition style use an underlying, private UIScrollView instance (it behaves just like a UIScrollView with paging enabled), although I haven't checked this.

Q: Return a json of multiple key-value pairs instead of list of single-paired key-value jsons Currently my query looks like follows and returns the results below:
select
    c.id as company_id,
    json_agg(json_build_object(ds.statement_ref, value)) as financials
from
    st.data_statements ds
    join st.company_data cd on ds.company_datum_id = cd.id
    join st.companies c on cd.company_id = c.id
where
    c.id = 61
group by
    c.id

The result looks like this:
61  [{"in31" : "0.0"}, {"in32" : "145.8"}, {"in34" : "134.0"}]

How do I modify the query above to return all key pair values within the same JSON object (rather then a list of jsons)? Expected output:
61  {"in31" : "0.0", "in32" : "145.8", "in34" : "134.0"}

A: Replace
json_agg(json_build_object(ds.statement_ref, value)) as financials

with
json_object_agg(ds.statement_ref, value) as financials


Rita McGrath shares what she's learned at the World Business Forum.
In her latest book, The End of Competitive Thinking, Columbia Business School Professor Rita McGrath suggests a new playbook for strategy. It consists of six key factors.
This is about giving some forethought into how your company gets out of things that are no longer working. Although we know we need a disengagement strategy, people tend to dread it, she says. This means that when disengagement happens it tends to cause maximum pain and can be very damaging to certain people's careers. "Properly managed, disengagement can be just another business process we have to deal with," she says. "Looked at dispassionately it takes a lot of the politics down a couple of notches." She suggests Apple as a company that is good at this – think of the iPod, which was discontinued despite having a loyal customer base.
This is about getting resources away from powerful people in your company so they can be repurposed to do the most good. "In most organisations with this sustainable competitive advantage mindset, the people that are powerful control where the resources generated by the company go." She says the research shows this is a good predictor of future poor performance as the resources get trapped. She suggests Lego as a company that is good at managing this process, allocating additional funds generated by greater efficiencies as a team effort.
What does this all mean for individuals and their careers? Increasingly, this means that many jobs will be what's been dubbed "tour of duty jobs". This is when you sign on for an activity, you work with that and then at the end you re-negotiate for the next opportunity. This is similar to how people come together to make movies. "This means you need to convince the people around you that you have rare skills, valuable networks, it's something you have deep knowledge about. It's something that makes you someone they want to welcome onto their team," says McGrath. This applies in particular to the millennials, who are already keenly aware of this and believe they need to be responsible for their own career and skill development.

Retail Stocks
Retail stocks slip; Target to spend $1 billion on revamp
Published: Jan. 21, 2010 at 4:50 p.m. ET
William Spain
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Retail stocks slipped with the broader markets as the sector's main indicator closed in negative territory.
The S&P Retail Index $RLX was down about 1% at 403.17.
Target Corp. TGT, -1.96% slipped 1% to $50.22 after the discounter said it plans to spend $1 billion to renovate and redecorate 340 stores in 2010. The Minneapolis retailing giant will add fewer than 10 additional locations in 2010. In addition, Target said it will test the development of a smaller-store format to meet the needs of customers in urban markets.
Rival Wal-Mart WMT, -0.28%, the world's largest retailer, was off 1.5% at $53.08
Meanwhile, Macy's Inc. M, -2.94% said it will launch a new Bloomingdale's Outlet store concept, beginning in summer or fall 2010. The department-store chain will initially open four stores, each with about 25,000 square feet of space, in Paramus, N.J., Woodbridge, Va., and Miami and Sunrise, Fla. It expects to roll out more stores across the U.S. in 2011 and beyond.
"We have been studying the opportunities for entering the off-the-mall outlet business for some time, and the timing now is right given the consumer's particular focus on value in addition to fashion and quality," said Terry Lundgren, chief executive, in announcing the move.
Shares of Macy's fell 1.8% to $52.92.
And Tiffany & Co. TIF said the board increased the quarterly dividend to 20 cents a share from 17 cents. The increased dividend is payable in April.
The jewelry retailer also said it will resume a share-buyback program that was suspended in the third quarter. The company has $402 million in repurchasing authority that expires in January 2011.
Shares of the luxury retailer were down about 3% at $41.77.

When they found out that the would be eachothers soulmates they couldn't believe it. Usually when someone is matched it is never with someone in there City. Yet then when Cassia gets home and checks her microcard on Xander it isn't his face that pops up on the screen. It is a boy named Ky. The weird thing about this is that he is also from where Cassia, and Xander live. When Cassia and Ky are in the same hiking group, feelings that she thought she had start to become real.

As Cassia leaves Xander behind and tries to find Ky, she does everything in her power to make sure society doesn't interfer.
I actually picked this book up because it was a California Young Reader medal books.
The main reason I kept reading this book was because I really got into how Cassia was starting to fall for Ky. I was hopeing that in the end they would tell me if they got together or not.
I would give this book to a person who likes to read about complicated relationships.

Mort By Terry Pratchett
Mort is a boy who has been chosen to serve as the apprentice of Death in the world of Discworld, a flat land carried on the back of four elephants that in turn stand on the giant turtle, the Great A'tuin. He must learn how to maintain the balance of souls while trying to not fight with Ysabell, Death's adoptive daughter. As Death begins to have more curiosity of the living world, Mort is left to deal with the side effects caused when he saved a princess from meeting her expected end. Now he must find Death and place him into his proper role and stop the world from collapsing in on itself as the two realities where the princess lives and doesn't crash into each other. After that he must escape Death's wrath.
I enjoyed the other books that I had read from Terry Pratchett and the few appearances of Death were very interesting. Since this one had consisted largely with this character I thought to give it a try.
The story's events were very interesting in how it brought the formally cold character of Death into someone who was curious of humans and loved cats. There is unexpected development in what the characters do and the wonderful humor employed is able to mix very well with the action that occurs. The way that the characters are described can make the reader fall in love for the story and almost guarantee that they would continue with the rest of the series.
I would give it to anyone interesting in reading Pratchett's books and would enjoy reading stories about another world similar to ours in unexpected ways. I would personally recommend it to my cousin Jorgina.

The Princess and the Pauper By Mark Twain
The Prince of Wale and a poor peasant were born on the same day. While one was loved and adored by all the kingdom, the other was hated and not wanted. Tom Canty, a peasant and beggar dreams of becoming a prince and have fun in life. One day he crosses paths with the Prince himself and the prince takes him in. When they swap life stories, the Prince wishes to take his place and have fun with friends and play and be free. Little does he know that it ain't all fun and games. The Prince is beat up by John Canty and when he tries to tell everyone he's the real prince, thy all think he's finally gone crazy. Tom on the other hand has an easier time adjusting but he doesn't want to be cradled and taken as a prisoner. He doesn't want to be where he is and when the King dies and Tome becomes King, he has a lot of responsibilities.
I choose this book because I had to read a classic book for Battle of the Books. It seemed like an interesting read and I didn't want to get any of the other books.
Honestly, I only read this because I had to but it was a good book. It was a bit…dull and very hard to read for me but I got through it because first of all, I had too and second of all, I wanted to see if Tom and the Prince would ever get to return to their normal lives. I also wanted to see if how they would react to one another when they finally got to see each other again, if they ever got to see each other again.
Anyone who prefers to read stories written about role-reversals would definitely enjoy this book because it shows how two people from different parts of society are able to live in a world they don't know much about. A Prince becomes a peasant and a peasant becomes a Prince.

What Happened to Goodbye By Sarah Dessen
McLean Sweet is used to being everything other than herself. For four years she's moved around from small town to small town, or wherever her dad's job takes her next. After her mother's affair with a famous university basketball coach, McLean's parents divorce. McLean along with her father take advantage of the oppurtunity to move away and start a new. But when Mclean arrives at her most recent destination where she begins makes real friends and gets the chance to be herself again, should she choose to stay or to runaway again at the thought of getting too close to people ? Especially Dave, a guy whom she'd like to try to figure out.
I've read all of Sarah Dessen's previous work and though the concept for her novels always revolve around love, the stories always digs deeper into much more serious topics teenagers and young adults may go through such as abuse and neglect in their everyday home life.
I like the close-knit relationship between McLean and her father Gus and the focus between her and her moms estranged relationship.
I'd give the book to any one of my friends who like to read books with a purpose but have a little bit of romance on the side.

I had to finish it to do a long form.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter By Seth Grehame-Smith
The history of Abraham Lincoln is interwoven with the effects of vampires in the United States. It begins with Lincoln swearing vengeance on all vampires for what had happened to his family. In becoming the hunter he comes across a vampire by the name of Henry, who trains Lincoln in how to hunt and which vampires to kill. Lincoln continues his duty but becomes involved in a war between vampires for the future of the country. He has to decide what sacrifices he will make and confront the cost of his actions.
The cover seemed interesting as to how it was combining a well known president with a concept as vampires. I also knew that the author also wrote Pride, Prejudice and Zombies and that novel was well acclaimed, so I thought to give this book a try.
The combination is considered usual, but it becomes an enjoyable experience as the story's events unfold. There was plenty of suspense and action as to not keep it dull. The historical blend wasn't forced, and it made it seem as if the story's events could have come true.
I would recommend it to anyone who loves the traditional vampire or who is interested in a refreshing twist on a President ho didn't need to become a vampire hunter to have been considered amazing.

Karou lives two different lives but she has learned to balance them out. Brimstone is a monster and he is her family. She travels around the world and hunts down teeth which she gives Brimstone but she doesn't know for what he uses them for. Angels come down to earth and they burn down all of Brimstone's portals to the human world. Karou is lost and absolutely devasted when she can't find a way back to Brimstone. One of the angels doesn't return back to his world either. Avika follows Karou and is drawn to her. Karou realizes that he is following her and attack but the angel doesn't fight back. Karou befriends him and Avika falls in love with her. Avika discovers that Karou isn't who who thinks she is and he shows her the life that she had and who she used to be.
I picked up this book because of the title mostly. I enjoy reading about books with drama, action, but also some romance so this was great for me. When I read the back cover of the book, I wanted to know what would happen to Karou because it seemed so suspenseful.
Karou is a very interesting character and so is her life. I kept on reading because I wanted to know who she really was. I also wanted to know what Brimstone did with the teeth the Karou hunted down for him and how Karou ended up with Brimstone in the first place. I also wanted to know why the angels were burning black hand-prints on Brimstone's portals. This book was full of suspense and made to keep reading so you could find the answers.
I would say this book would be great for those people who enjoy reading about monsters and angels with also some forbidden love and romance.
Graceling By Kristin Cashore
The book "Graceling" by Kristin Cashore is about a girl name Katsa. the story is set in a world where certain people have a grace or a certain thing they are good at.

Then, they go on a journey together to save the grandfather and find out its leck who has kidnapped the grandfather. Later, Katsa herself defeats leck by overcoming his power to control people's minds.
I picked this book because it was one of the books for young reader medal books. i also heard from other people that it was a really good book.
The book started out pretty boring but as i kept reading it got really interesting. i like the plot and where it was set. The story was interesting and it had many mysteries. I liked how the story couldn't be predicted and took many unusual turns.
I would give this book to teens who like mystery and action because this book grabs the attention of people and makes them consentrate on the story.

The novel basis it's stories around these girl's private life which could be visited on a popular website "Gossip Girl" which spreads emourous rumors and gossip about their lives.
I picked this book up because my older sister had boughten all of the book's series and it had the word "gossip" in the title so it caught my attention!
I kept reading the book because as soon as I began to read it, I found myself really interested in the book. I like how the talked about people living in a completely different world that I do. I was fasinated.
I would give it to people who enjoy reading about people with a high-end life style.

It is amystery as to who is the father mof the baby or even her husband, but for now she must where a scalet letter A wherever she is, everyday, for the rest of her life.
I chose this book as a book required by my teacher to read as a class novel.
I kept reading the book with my class week after week and we dicussed the literary elements in the book. Furthermore, we were intended to write about the significance of each chapter in the novel.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a challenging book with high vocabulary and deep thinking.

The Sun also Rises By Ernest Hemingway
The novel is about a group of friends that travel from Paris, France to Pamplona, Spain to celebrate the Fiesta of San Fermin. They are World War One veterans, for the most part, and enjoy the bullfighting that takes place during the fiesta.
I picked this book because of its literary merit. I had to write a long form on it for AP English Language.
I kept reading it because of all the symbolism in the novel.
I would give it to AP English Language students because of the way Ernest Hemingway writes and the way he uses symbolism.
Emako Blue By Brenda Woods
Emako is young and talented with a bright future ahead of her. She has a best friend named Monterey they give advice and understand one another. Eddie who she understood his problems and Jamal the guy who tried getting at her. And then there was Savannah who envied her but that didn't stop Emako. She had everything going for her but everything changes in an instant.
The reason why i decided to choose this book is because friends have recommended it.
The book was very interesting, it involved teens around my age that talked about a friend they lost. It was sad and very relate able to situations that occur today.
I think my little sisters would enjoy this story because they like to read and they can learn something by reading it.
Far From Xanadu By Julie Anne Peters
Mighty Mike Szabo is a teen girl living in a small town in Kansas. She's what you call a "tomboy". She is a local softball champ, lifts weights and drives around a big manly truck. Xanadu is the new girl in town and of coarse, in such a small town, she is a goddess. Soon enough Mike falls in love with her but the only problem there is that Xanadu likes boys, not girls.
I really enjoy Julie Anne Peter's writing, I've read about five of her books and every single one I really liked. She is my favorite author, so I am trying to read every single book my school's library has to offer.
I kept reading "Far From Xanadu" because I found Mike Szabo's life so fasinating. This book caught my attention from the very beginning. I kept wanting to find out what was about to happen.
I would give this book to anyone who enjoys reading teen dramas. This book is all about learning about yourself and defining who you really are; not being afraid to show your true colors. It's a really inspiring book.
Battle Royale By Koushun Takami
Shuya was expecting a normal school trip with his class until they are knocked out by sleeping gas and awaken to find themselves on a deserted island. To their horror they find out that they were elected to participate in this year's Program, a cruel government experiment. The purpose? To have the students kill each other until one is left standing. Shuya is determined to preserve the memory of his slain friend by protecting the one he had loved, and swears not to kill his friends in order to win. But not other students desire to follow his logic, and some of them have begun to kill their friends in cold blood. Shuya and Noriko join with Shogo, a mysterious new student who has chosen to help them live. As the numbers of survivals dwindle by the passing hour, Shuya must decide what it will take to survive.
My cousin had recommended the book to me, saying that it was an interesting storyline that surpassed the Hunger Games and it was one that he bothered to actually read. The cover of the English edition was also interesting, showing Shuya and Noriko in the cover while being separated by a gun.
Although it uses the "kill everyone else to survive" idea that is already familiar in the Hunger Games, Battle Royale took that idea onto a whole different level. While reading it, I was always in suspense as to what the characters are going to do. They had to face difficult moral choices that would affect the other characters: whether to participate, join up with others, or escape on your own. The main character in particular vows to protect Norika, but to do that he must kill those coming after them, a desicion that he doesn't wish to complete. The numerous cliffhangers keep the plot progressing since you don't know who will survive in the end, or who will kill whom. It is even more interesting to see the different levels of true human nature that present themselves; some try to kill other students, others try to save their friends. The very idea of killing your best friends and loves has so much effect on the reader, that the interactions between them have the reader on the edge of their seat.
I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the modern adaptation of the Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies as well as those who can handle bloody scenes and suspenseful action.
Cassia is a teen aged girl that lives in a controlled society. She gets matched with her best friend,which is very rare. When its time for her to get to know more about him on a flash drive she finds out that there has been an error. She sees another boys face. ky. She then starts to fall in love with him as time goes by. They both express the way they feel until they get tared apart. Cassia then wants to find out where he has gone and what they have done to him.
I chose it because it seemed like an interesting book and because i wanted to participate on battle of the books.
I wanted to know more about how she felt and what was going to happen between her and xander.
I think more people are going to want to read it like my friends.

It's summer in the U.K., and it's hot. That's cause for celebration for everyone but us. It's actually the hottest June day since 1986. Heat immediately spikes my fatigue. For some of us, the cold does the same. Thankfully, not me — I get the winter off.
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 80% of us suffer from fatigue. I've never met any of the 20% who don't, which is strange as they should have the energy to put themselves about a bit.
Fatigue seems to be one of the great "known unknowns" of MS: We suffer from it but no one has any medical idea why. Disability is tough enough to deal with, but this aspect I find the worst. You constantly have to put yourself on pause. My life is a one-hour television program that takes the day to watch.
Yesterday during the cool of the morning, I managed to re-silicone our shower, which was a very brave move considering it once ate me. (See: "The Shower that Ate Me.") What would have been a 10-minute job was now a two-hour farrago involving putting a stool in the shower (with a towel under it so as not to damage the tray), so that I could do the work. There's not much I can do round the house anymore, but the satisfaction when I can actually accomplish something is palpable.
True, I then had to recover. I got enough energy back eventually to start this article — until the heat just stopped me. I find myself trapped in my bedroom hunkered down in the breeze of a fan the next evening. At least now it's cool enough to write. But if I move away from this oasis, my body drains of energy like a toy with a dying battery.
I've just had my second round of Lemtrada infusions, which seems to have given some recovery. My hope is that by the end of the summer it will have reduced my fatigue levels enough so that I can try wheelchair tennis again. The last attempt was a travesty.
Also, I tried to write this in the cool of the night but fell asleep at the proverbial wheel — crashing to the floor. Didn't hurt much as I hit my head and was able to clamber back into bed with the aid of my wife. Which in itself is an improvement.
I am supposed to write at least 500 words and am now just over 400. And you know what? Justifiably, I'm too tired to carry on.
Tagged Fatigue, heat, summer, sun, tired.
I recognize this so much!!!! Had to laugh at your shower job!!!!
An hour's television that lasts a day! Brilliant!!!!

> Relationships
By a verified Counsellor or Therapist
Published on 23rd February, 2015
Do you ever find yourself tiptoeing around a certain family member or work colleague? Have you resorted to texting when you don't want to face a difficult conversation? When digital communication takes over real life communication it can be the cause of many relationship problems.
We're social beings and connection to our fellow humans is important for our well-being. Our relationships to people - partners, children, mums, dads and friends - can be the source of much joy but also much pain. Having deep and satisfying relationships takes a lot of effort, time and searching. The upside is that on this journey you find out a lot about yourself and those close to you, and as a result your life will be richer and more rewarding.
The key to good relationships is honest and open communication. By that I mean there has to be face-to-face communication, not just relying on text, email and phone.
The digital age has created more and more ways for us to communicate with each other without talking with text and email being by far the most popular means of communication in the UK. Face-to-face communication is becoming less common. I believe this is leading to a breakdown in our ability to communicate effectively on an emotional level with the people we are close to.
Being in someone's presence adds so many more dimensions to your relationship. When there are difficult times, texting or emailing can sometimes be a cop-out and can lead to misinterpretation. We often say things in emails or texts we'd never say face-to-face with someone because we can't see the full impact our words are having.
Facing the person and talking honestly and sensitively can be painful, embarrassing or uncomfortable, but this may move the relationship on to a deeper more satisfying level, with more understanding of each other and of yourself.
If you come from a family where objections or dissatisfactions were not voiced openly but came through in passive aggressive ways, then this new way of communicating will feel scary and unfamiliar to you. It may feel wrong and jarring. The problem with passive aggression is that we may feel emotions of anger, sadness, annoyance but we push them down as they seem impossible to express. The result is our anger, frustration or whatever emotion we haven't honestly expressed comes out in unexpected ways. Something perfectly mild may make you feel unwarranted amounts of anger that's disproportionate compared to the misdemeanour. This confuses relationships - people won't understand you and an atmosphere develops. People start walking on egg-shells so as not to upset each other. Sound familiar?
What if it's you that's being passive aggressive? You might need help to figure out what the underlying problem is and what you're ultimately scared of if you do communicate honestly. Therapy can help you identify and change the way you communicate. Many patterns of passive aggressive behaviour start in childhood, maybe you had a domineering parent and this was your only way to have any power in the relationship, or maybe that was just the way your family operated. Counselling can help clients understand how at the time this defensive behaviour helped them, and how now they're older a more honest and open communication response will make life easier and less complicated.
What ever the underlying issues, the key to good relationships is having those difficult conversations that allow you to breakthrough into a deeper, more honest and rewarding relationship.
So next time you start tapping out a message on your smartphone, maybe think again and opt for a good old fashioned chat over a cup of tea!

Perfectly poised, Julie Bishop quits politics with a message for men eyeing off her seat
By Judith Ireland
February 21, 2019 — 5.42pm
The first ripple that something might be up came when Julie Bishop walked into Question Time with the Prime Minister.
Until recently it was of course a very familiar sight to see Bishop strolling in with whoever the Liberal leader happened to be. But since last year's turmoil, the former deputy leader has assumed an uncharacteristically humble spot on the sidelines.
The second ripple came as Question Time ended: instead of the usual stampede from the chamber, both sides of the House of Representatives stayed put, watching. And the member for Curtin asked to speak on indulgence.
It's been one of the big unanswered questions that have lingered since the bizarro upheavals of last year: what would Bishop do?
"During the last few weeks, I have had the opportunity to closely consider the future of the Coalition government and the pending general election," a perfectly poised Bishop began, leading some to wonder if she was actually about to go out swinging.
But the former foreign minister swerved just in time, telling Parliament it had become clear Scott Morrison would win the election and it was now OK for her to go.
Speaking without notes, in a suffragette-white dress, Bishop spoke of her achievements since she first came to Canberra in 1998.
"It has been an immense honour to be the longest serving member for Curtin. And also to be the deputy leader of the Liberal Party."
Given the low - and ever dwindling - numbers of women in the party, Bishop was diplomatically pointy in her remarks about gender.

She told MPs she had been contacted by "extraordinary people, including women" to take over her seat (meaning: good women do exist out there, fellas). And that she was proud of the fact that she was the first women to contest a Liberal leadership ballot in the party's 75 year history (meaning: even if hardly any of you voted for me in August).
As she ended the speculation she had grander plans for her political career, she also had a big dig at Labor for "trashing" the nation's finances, described public office as "one of the highest callings" and promised to spend more time with her friends and family.
She then quickly gathered her belongings and accepted just a few hugs from nearby MPs. Heading for the nearest exit, she made a neat bow to Speaker Tony Smith.
By the time Morrison got to his feet to respond, Australia's first female foreign minister, cabinet minister to three prime ministers, and deputy Liberal leader for eleven years, was already out the door.

Q: How can I render .mtl for object on iPhone 5 using ThreeJS? I am trying to load .obj files through ThreeJS and have it be cross compatible. I am using the OBJMTLLoader method. The object loads and renders fine for Firefox, Chrome, and IE on Windows; see falloutfan.com/eyebot for reference.
On iPhone 5, I am able to see the object, but it is clear that the .mtl did not render. Does iPhone/iOS not support WebGL completely? Are there any workarounds for this? Any help is appreciated.  Below is my code:

A: Did you look in the JavaScript console for errors? Remote debugging is your friend. Also the iOS Simulator can be similarly debugged
From your comments I'm going to guess if you had looked at the JavaScript console would tell you the error is either you ran out of memory, your images are too big (jpg compression doesn't matter for WebGL, the images will be expanded back to their original uncompressed size).
The most likely error from your comments is you're using .DDS files. .DDS files only work on desktops (usually) as they are generally used for DXT compressed textures. No iOS devices support DXT compressed textures. A few Android devices with NVidia GPUs do. For iOS you either need to change those compressed textures to JPG or PNG. Or you need to change them to a compressed format iOS supports like PVRTC.
For example when I run this three.js sample using DXT compressed texture formats using the iOS Simulator and I check the JavaScript console in Safari I see
[Log] THREE.WebGLRenderer 71 (three.min.js, line 523)
[Warning] THREE.WebGLRenderer: WEBGL_compressed_texture_s3tc extension not supported. (three.min.js, line 2)
[Warning] THREE.WebGLRenderer: EXT_blend_minmax extension not supported. (three.min.js, line 2)
[Warning] THREE.WebGLRenderer: Attempt to load unsupported compressed texture format in .uploadTexture() (three.min.js, line 2, x19)

The annual Showcomotion Children's Media Conference returned for the fifth time from 2nd – 4th July 2008.
With a record 384 registered delegates and over 80 speakers from practically every sector, the conference represented a cross-section of the kids' media scene.
These few days in Sheffield provided a unique forum where people and companies learned from each other to better engage with the kids' audience, and prepared themselves for new partnerships.
Kids' media use is changing rapidly and Showcomotion has always tried to address that. Bringing everyone together - whether we're in movies, TV, online, toys or games, and whether we make, fund, commission or exploit media brands - recognised that we're all in the same space now – "TheirSpace" - where play meets media consumption, education meets entertainment, and community meets content.
The conference perspectives were commercial, strategic, creative and political, and the programme reflected that. And with such a broad range of contributors there was something for everyone.


I was always the kid that played with Legos and K'NEX building all kinds of contraptions. I was told from a young age that I should be an architect so I started taking drafting classes in High School which furthered my interest in architecture. I went to Texas A&M College of Architecture which taught me about design and confirmed that this is the field I want to be in.
