Video by Annette Fasone
SUMMARY: The Marauders of the Wasteland and The Night Riders have a fight, but ultimately decide to team up. Meanwhile, Shawn meets the annoying Bob Neville, who just wants a friend, but ultimately turns into a zombie. Before he changes, he realizes that Shawn is immune to the zombie disease, and his blood could hold the cure... but Shawn isn't interested because he doesn't like needles. Still, he may find himself more involved than he wants to be when he meets the warrior Rosalind.
Bob Neville survived the end of the world, but his luck ran out when he
encountered Shawn, the most self-interested man left on the planet.
EPISODE FOUR (2/16/13)
SUMMARY: We learn the story of Bongo - formerly known in his lonely human life as Zack - who joined the Night Riders just to have friends. Unfortunately, Zack is killed by Rosalind while out on a scavenging mission. Meanwhile, Shawn utterly fails to score with Rosalind, who is on a quest to find her brother, Victor, who went missing after having a kid. He and Maverick strike out on their own, and find a walled city - Freedom Town. The Mayor says they have water, food and safety. All Shawn has to do is sign, and he's in. Only one rule: no dogs. And so Shawn - oblivious to the Mayor's creepy demeanor (when Shawn asks "Are there any single ladies?" and the Mayor answers, "Come on in and see," it's enough to make Shawn forget about everything else) - enters Freedom Town, leaving Maverick alone in the wasteland, waiting faithfully for his return.
Shawn and Maverick encounter a secure settlement that is happy to take in newcomers, but not dogs.
EPISODE FIVE (2/23/13)
SUMMARY: Rosalind and Madame Butterfly, still fighting, are attacked by killer bees. With each of them having only an hour to live, Madame Butterfly reveals that she's the mother of Victor's child, and tells Rosalind that she'll need to acquire the blood of somebody uncontaminated by the plague to save the child. Meanwhile, Abner finds himself falling for Lady Love, and upset that she just considers him a fling. And Shawn finds that Freedom Town lives by one simple rule: "Two men play, one man stay." In other words, a fight to the death. However, Rosalind rescues him in the nick of time, reuniting him with a patient Winston. Shawn soon encounters a woman known only as "Six," and her dog. To Shawn's delight, she's single. However, she has a deadly secret: she's actually a servant of the Head Robot, whose mission is to kill all humans.

Une pinte est une unité de mesure de volume pour des liquides. La pinte se subdivise en deux chopines.

 la pinte de Paris est une unité antérieure au système métrique, qui valait 48 pouces du Roi cubes, soit environ  ; la pinte de Châlus (Haute-Vienne, France) contenait  ; la pinte de Bar contenait .
 En France, dans la Marine Nationale, l'équivalent de la pinte de bière (0,5L) se nomme "Le Béru".
 au Canada français, une pinte désigne le quart de gallon impérial, égal à 40 onces liquides, soit exactement 1,136 522 5 litre (on dira donc « pinte » en français et « quart » en anglais pour désigner le même volume).

Les pintes en Europe et en Amérique du Nord
 Au Canada et au Québec, la pinte  (quart en anglais) est une mesure de capacité qui correspond à un quart de gallon impérial, soit à 1,136 litre. Il n'y a pas de distinction entre pinte sèche ou liquide.
 une pinte américaine ou US liquid pint, symbole pt (US liquid), est une unité américaine pour mesurer le volume des liquides, qui vaut 32 onces liquides US, soit environ 0,4732 litre.

Pintes et chopines

Au Canada, le terme chopine (pint en anglais) désigne la moitié d'une pinte (quart en anglais).
 Depuis les années 1990, dans le contexte de l'apparition de la bière pression et des microbrasseries, le terme pinte tend à désigner le contenu d'un verre de bière équivalent équivalant à 568 ml (chopine impériale:  20 onces liquide).. Mais parfois, il correspond au contenu d'une grande cannette de bière américaine, c'est-à-dire 473 ml (chopine américaine: 16 onces liquide).

La chopine impériale, aussi appelée chopine canadienne, symbole chop (pt), est une des unités de mesure du Royaume-Uni et l'Amérique du Nord, qui vaut 20 onces liquides impériales, ou canadiennes, soit exactement .
 une chopine américaine ou US pint, symbole pt (US fl), est une unité américaine pour mesurer le volume des liquides, qui vaut 16 onces liquides US, soit exactement .

EU Policy Options to Manage the Migration and Refugee Situation: An Insufficient Toolbox?
Jan Schneider
Head of Research Unit, Expert Council of German Foundations on Integration and Migration (SVR)
In the light of thousands of fatalities among migrants trying to cross the Mediterranean and the ever-increasing number of asylum claims filed in EU member states, coupled with hopelessly overburdened reception systems in some countries of first arrival, the European Commission in May 2015 launched the European Agenda on Migration (EAM). It marked the baseline for different measures aiming at "a coherent and comprehensive approach to reap the benefits and address the challenges deriving from migration" (COM [2015] 240 final, p. 2). While the EAM appeared rather short and superficial, given the number of challenges identified at different ends (sea rescue, border control, human smuggling, resettlement, burden sharing, return, partnerships with third countries, addressing root causes, new policies on legal migration, completion of the Common European Asylum System – to name just the most eminent ones), it turned out to be the mere starting signal for an unprecedented cascade of policy initiatives and legislative proposals at EU level, which continued to unfold throughout 2016. The EAM differentiated "immediate actions", intended to overcome concrete situations of emergency and overburdening particularly in the "frontline" member states, structural measures to "manage migration better" in the medium term, as well as initial ideas "moving beyond" towards the finality of a harmonised European asylum and migration policy. However, much of the activity in the months to follow the launch of the EAM prioritised policy responses "driven by security (home affairs), diplomatic and military concerns and interests of the EU and its member states" (Carrera et al., 2015, p. 18); they epitomised the common piecemeal approach within a policy field that actually calls for a master plan, such as a real Common European Asylum System (CEAS) (Chetail, 2016).
"While the EAM appeared rather short and superficial, it turned out to be the mere starting signal for an unprecedented cascade of policy initiatives and legislative proposals at EU level, which continued to unfold throughout 2016."
Relevance of Various Policy Options
To what extent are the various policy options enshrined in the EAM relevant to experts, policymakers and civil society representatives? The results of the 2016 Euromed Survey indicate that the current "salad bowl" approach at EU level, i.e. a mix of policy instruments addressing the issue from various ends, is generally apt. In most cases, the overwhelming majority of respondents attribute high or very high importance to the respective seven Survey items brought forward (see Graph 1)
Graph 1: To what extent do you consider that the following options should be pursued by the EU and its member states?
Source: Compiled by the IEMed based on the results of the 7th Euromed Survey/Question 10
While these policy options are not mutually exclusive, some stand out as pressing, among them to upgrade and improve the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), to better share and redistribute the "burden" among member states and – much in line with the envisaged important role of migration management activities within the European Neighbourhood Policy as evidenced by the 2015 Euromed Survey (Aragall, 2016) – to better integrate internal and external policies (including through strengthening the role of EU delegations on migration issues). Somewhat less approval was attributed to effectively applying the EU's return system. On the one hand, this may illustrate some scepticism towards an enhanced return policy having the potential to be a game-changer. On the other hand, it must be stated that apart from the Return Directive (2008/115/EC), which has not been defined as a genuine component of the CEAS, and an assisting role of Frontex, there is not much of a common system or policy in place, as member states or sub-national entities have considerable leeway in their approach to fostering or enforcing returns. Thus, a number of open comments from the Survey call for the need to enhance this policy tool:
Return will not be sustainable if it is only return. There needs to be reintegration, either at the individual or community level.
Respondent from an international organisation
Pour le système de retour de l'UE il serait plutôt efficace de travailler en coordination avec les associations locales et ON G travaillant dans ces pays en relation avec les états.
Algerian respondent
Appliquer un système de retour qui doit être accompagné au même degré d'intérêt et de flexibilité des accords sur les visas avec les pays concernés. De plus, opter pour des négociations 'gagnant-gagnant' lors des négociations des accords de réadmission sans mettre le fardeau sur les pays de transit.
Moroccan respondent
Furthermore, several qualitative answers provided by the Survey respondents emphasised the need for the EU to follow a comprehensive approach, prioritising other options rather than dealing with the symptoms within the EU:
The main option should remain the coherent and sustainable management of the deep roots of the refugee crisis in the countries of origin.
Romanian respondent
Creating viable legal access to the EU is the most important and burning issue to bring forward.
Finnish respondent
Intra-EU Relocation as an Obstructed and ill-Coordinated Policy Mechanism
In the face of a worsening reception crisis in Greece and Italy – and to quite some surprise to observers – the Council decided in September 2015 on a temporary derogation from the Dublin system. Up to 160,000 persons in clear need of protection were to be relocated to the remaining EU member states from these two countries within two years, following a binding principle. The distribution key had been suggested by the Commission and took into account for each member state the size of the population, the gross domestic product as an indicator of economic power, the unemployment rate and the intake of protection-seeking individuals over the past five years (COM [2015] 286 final).
"Respondents emphasised the need for the EU to follow a comprehensive approach rather than to deal with the symptoms."
The new emergency approach raised hopes of replacing the Dublin system, which had regularly resulted in an unfair distribution of burdens regarding the reception of asylum seekers and associated procedures, with a permanent mechanism of responsibility sharing in the long run – although the relocation quota aimed to retain that very Dublin system for the moment. However, observers raised concerns that the failure of several member states to fully comply with their obligations to provide reception conditions according to the respective EU Directive would constitute a serious practical impediment for the temporary relocation model to work – adding to the failure to envolve asylum seekers themselves in the decision about where they want to be relocated (Carrera & Guild, 2015). Furthermore, the Council decision was taken under qualified majority rule against explicit opposition by Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Romania, with the former two challenging the legality of the decision before the European Court of Justice.
"Despite slight growth rates throughout 2016, the number of migrants effectively relocated since the launch of the scheme in September 2015 until december 2016 was just above 8,000."
Despite slight growth rates throughout 2016, the number of migrants effectively relocated since the launch of the scheme in September 2015 up until December 2016 was just above 8,000 (6,212 from Greece and 1,950 from Italy), with a mere total of 18,515 places pledged by EU member states (see Graph 2). The Council decisions of 2015 provided for 160,000 relocations within two years, i.e. until September 2017. With only few months to go, less than 12% of this quota has been pledged, and only 5% has been effectively relocated. This still being perceived as a drop in the ocean, the Commission has envisaged a massive increase in the number of monthly cases, so that "as of April 2017 the number of relocation transfers should reach at least 3,000 per month from Greece and at least 1,500 from Italy" (COM [2016] 791 final, p. 16/17).
Graph 2: State of Play: Relocation of asylum seekers from Greece and Italy in 2016 (cumulated figures).
Sources: European Commission – Reports on Relocation and Resettlement and Annexes: COM (2016) 165 final, COM (2016) 222 final, COM (2016) 360 final, COM(2016) 416 final, COM (2016) 480 final, COM (2016) 636 final, COM (2016) 720 final, COM (2016) 791 final.
One of the main reasons for the scheme's agony is that most member states are phlegmatic with regard to providing openings in line with their binding quota, with some of them boycotting it completely. Other hurdles encountered over the first months included a high level of scepticism among stranded migrants in Italy and Greece to apply for the programme in the first place, as it also implies some degree of coercion and generally disregards their country preferences. Furthermore, all participating actors continue to face operational and logistical problems in trying to coordinate very complex allocation, verification and transfer processes, which are also linked to the "hotspot" approach. The latter have been malfunctioning in multiple ways, as the pooling of capacities from the national asylum administrations, European Asylum Support Office and seconded experts from other member states proved difficult and was numerically insufficient; access to the asylum procedure turned out to be hampered rather than fostered in some instances; and reception conditions in several centres fell short of the EU aquis (see EP, 2016; Dutch Council for Refugees et al., 2016).
"One of the main reasons for the low performance of the relocation scheme is that most member states are phlegmatic with regard to providing openings in line with their binding quota, with some of them boycotting it completely."
At the time the Euromed Survey was in the field, the odds of the relocation scheme to becoming a success story looked even grimmer than stated above. Consequently, the majority of respondents called for improving coordination between the European Commission and the member states as the most promising remedy (see Table 1).
Table 1: Measures to be prioritised regarding the relocation plan. (1st: most important, 3rd: least important)
Second place in the total sample, 27% prioritised restrictive measures for non-compliant member states. Interestingly, however, there is a clear divide in the perception between "frontline" and central/northern member states. While in the former group, 35% of respondents indicated a priority for penalising member states to fully implement the Common European Relocation Mechanism, only 20% did so in the latter group. The controversy over how to secure compliance with the relocation scheme, both regarding the member states fulfilling their quota as well as the relocated refugees, which ought to abstain from irregular secondary movements within the EU, also elicited a significant number of open answers:
The relocation scheme is based on coercion of member states and also of protection seekers, thus it is bound to be problematic in implementation. It could be more effective to explore possibilities to move the money around Europe to compensate the countries which have a higher burden or financially encourage the member states to accept more refugees.
Lithuanian respondent
Each member state should be bound by the system in place, which should be made effective through imposition of sanctions if not respected.
Belgian respondent
Relocation can only work on a consensus basis, not on a compulsory basis. Financial penalties are irrelevant and counterproductive.
French respondent
You need to have carrots more than sticks and this will include a comprehensive policy focusing on the different needs of the member states. A southern state may have different needs than a northern state.
Turkish respondent
What becomes evident is that policy-makers and experts in particular do not want to put all their eggs in one basket and rely on relocation as a key policy tool. The great majority thinks that the relocation plan is in any case not enough to face the nature and the magnitude of the crisis; just representatives of civil society organisations stand out to some degree as they seem to put more trust in the new cumbersome mechanism (see Graph 3).
"The relocation plan is in any case not enough to face the nature and the magnitude of the crisis."

Despite the fact that participants had been confronted with a broad choice of policy options at an earlier stage in the Survey (see Graph 1), quite a number came up with additional ideas in the open comment section of this item. Some were clustered around the issue of whether sub-national, i.e. regional or municipal, entities might be more appropriate actors to deal with refugee reception and provide openings for relocation, as opposed to national governments:
There are so many possibilities that the EU has not even taken into account. For example, involving cities and local governments instead of countries. All in all, big cities will be the entities that will need to integrate migrants.
Italian respondent
Top-down imposition of a given destination to refugees and of a given quota of refugees to destination states cannot work on a significant scale and in a sustainable way. An incentivebased system directly targeting refugees and receiving communities is […] an alternative worth experimenting.
Most likely, the continued struggle to swiftly implement top-down prescribed policy schemes such as the relocation mechanism will foster the experimental implementation of policy alternatives of that kind – and there should be no limits to innovative imagination.
"Sub-national entities may be appropriate actors to deal with refugee reception according to some respondents."
Conclusions and Outlook
Undoubtedly, the Commission since 2015 has diligently worked towards tabling policy proposals that could mark a way forward for the common policy on asylum and migration in the EU. However, by taking into account the rather short-sighted goals of the Council and trying to comfort member states opposing a more coherent approach, most capacities have been geared towards "crisis management", i.e. reducing migratory pressure by securing borders, fighting traffickers and cooperating with third countries to contain irregular migration, such as through the EU-Turkey Agreement (see Üstübici, A., "The EU and Turkey Cooperation on Migration", p. 54). Without doubt, the relocation scheme for up to 160,000 migrants in need of protection in Italy and Greece, combined with the establishment of "hotspots" to register boat arrivals, was one of the most spectacular and contested instruments launched to tackle the crisis of refugee policy from within the European Union (EP, 2016).
"The Commission since 2015 has diligently worked towards tabling policy proposals that could mark a way forward for the common policy on asylum and migration in the EU."
With regard to structural solutions to overcome the pitfalls of the Dublin system and sustainably improving the CEAS, the Commission went on a hesitant zigzag course. In its April 2016 communication "Towards a reform of the Common European Asylum System and enhancing legal avenues to Europe" (COM [2016] 197 final) it undertook an experimental move. It drafted a more or less coherent picture of a harmonised asylum system, including a fundamental change of the mechanism applied to determine the member state responsible for an asylum claim – suggesting a fixed distribution key reflecting reception capacities – and the longterm perspective of transferring responsibility for the processing of asylum claims at the EU level (see Guild & Ansems de Vries, "Strengthening the Common Asylum Policy", p. 13). However, this draft of a post-Dublin system was only "Option 2", and it hardly received any advance praise by member states. Consequently, "Option 1" quickly materialised into a May 2016 Commission proposal for a recast regulation, leaving the basic "Dublin" principle for determining responsibility untouched and adding a complex "corrective allocation mechanism" in case individual member states are disproportionately burdened by the inflow of asylum seekers (COM [2016] 270 final). Surging forward, the Commission also tabled proposals for a Regulation to transfer the EASO into a more competent "European Union Agency for Asylum" (COM [2016] 271 final), a recast Eurodac Regulation (COM (2016) COM [2016] 272 final), a recast of the Reception Conditions Directive (COM [2016] 465 final) and two new Regulations replacing the Qualification Directive (COM [2016] 466 final) and the Asylum Procedures Directive (COM [2016] 467 final) in order to safeguard more uniformity within the CEAS. What lies ahead for 2017, and most likely 2018, is fierce and lengthy debates between the European Parliament and the Council over the proposed legal acts. The outcome of these negotiations is completely uncertain. In the wake of successful populist and eurosceptic movements across the EU, which aggravate the overall crisis of European integration, many member states' governments put strong emphasis on domestic politics and show little appetite for further changes or concessions in this sensitive policy area.
"However, this toolbox is insufficiently harnessed to produce sustainable outcomes, as the relevant actors in the EU and its member states until now have proven unable to pull together and go beyond shortsighted and voteseeking policies."
In conclusion, the 2015/16 frenzy of launching various new policy tools and reform proposals at EU level did not imply a departure from the established regime, let alone a new paradigm. Rather, they marked superficial changes in order to maintain a policy core that would continuously produce sub-optimal outcomes (Trauner, 2016). The all but failure of the relocation scheme epitomises the dubiousness of these second-order changes. They struggle to be more than an embellishment to the restrictive and far-reaching measures taken at the level of most EU member states' national asylum systems to contain spontaneous migration of asylum seekers, either by watering down the standards of reception and protection or by erecting border fences to close migration routes. Clearly, there is a plethora of relevant and potentially effective policy options brought up at EU level. However, this toolbox is insufficiently harnessed to produce sustainable outcomes, as the relevant actors in the EU and its member states until now have proven unable to pull together and go beyond short-sighted and vote-seeking policies in the wake of a perceived "migration crisis".

The Child's Voyage and the Immram Tradition in Lewis, Tolkien and Pullman
By Swank, Kris
C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and philip pullman have all written children's fantasies which involve voyages by water. In Lewis's The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader" (1952), the Pevensie children, Lucy and Edmund, are joined by their ill-mannered cousin Eustace Scrubb on a voyage to a number of islands in the Narnian ocean. In Tolkien's Roverandom (1998), an ill-mannered puppy named Rover is sent on a voyage to a number of locations on the moon and in the Deep Blue Sea. In Pullman's The Book of Dust: Volume One, La Belle Sauvage (2017), two children, Malcolm and Alice, embark on a dangerous river voyage to save the baby Lyra from those who wish to control her. In the process, they encounter a number of strange "islands": hilltops cresting above the flooded River Thames.
Readers of modern children's fantasy literature are familiar with the parameters of the epic quest, derived from medieval romance. Verlyn Flieger defines the quest as "a journey as perilous for soul as for body--with a fixed purpose, a goal beyond itself" (210). Arguably, the most famous modern fantasy quest is the expedition to destroy the One Ring in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (1954-55). Other fantasy quests include Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950) and Pullman's Northern Lights/The Golden Compass (1995). Another tale-type Flieger analyzes is the aventure, a French term referring to "adventures" or "dangerous escapades" in a magical otherworld, "exciting for their own sake, ending in peace and prosperity" (210). This is more descriptive of the episodic adventures of Bilbo Baggins in Tolkien's The Hobbit (1937), Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper in Lloyd Alexander's Taran Wanderer (1967), and Alanna of Trebond in Tamora Pierce's The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (1986). In aventures, there is a goal, of sorts, but the narrative focus is on the protagonist's episodic adventures and, particularly in narratives featuring young protagonists, the lessons learned from each episode. As Flieger writes, both the quest and aventure "follow the traditional romance trajectory--a hero's journey and return," but the quest is more focused upon the goal, while the aventure is more focused upon the escapades (Flieger 210).
There are numerous examples of both tale-types; thus readers of modern fantasy may be accustomed to thinking in terms of the quest or episodic adventures in strange lands. Yet, there is a third type in modern fantasy literature derived from medieval literature which may be less familiar as a discrete class. Exemplified by the water voyages of Lewis, Tolkien, and Pullman, it is the Irish immram. (1) William Flint Thrall defined the immram as "a sea-voyage tale in which a hero, accompanied by a few companions, wanders about from island to island, meets Otherworld wonders everywhere, and finally returns to his native land" (quoted in Mac Mathuna 276). The immram protagonist is frequently a penitent or a pilgrim, and the voyage is a metaphor for spiritual growth and redemption. The island episodes, including a glimpse of, or visit to, a paradisiacal sanctuary, provide valuable lessons before the protagonist is instructed to return home and practice the lessons learned.
The best-known medieval examples include the vernacular Irish Immram curaig Maile Duin ("The Voyage of Mael Duin's Boat") in which the warrior Mael Duin seeks vengeance on the marauders who killed his father. A great storm propels his ship into a region of otherworldly islands which he must negotiate before returning home. A related text is the Latin Navigatio sancti Brendani abbatis ("The Voyage of Saint Brendan the Abbot"), one of the most popular texts in the Middle Ages. In this story, the Christian Saint Brendan of Clonfert embarks on a sea-voyage with several of his brethren to seek the Promised Land of the Saints, where the blessed await God's final judgement. The voyage lasts seven years and encompasses several marvelous islands before the monks finally reach the Promised Land. …

In exchange for quality job creation and significant financial investment, the City of Belfast can offer your business land for development at attractive rates in our Belfast Airport Business Park. The Belfast Airport Business Park is conveniently located along the U.S. Route 1 Bypass, approximately one mile south of Belfast's commercial center. Belfast Municipal Airport is located between the north and south phases of the park.
Lots are currently available for sale in the south phase (along Little River Drive) of the Belfast Airport Business Park. The south phase is served by a 12" water main, and there is 46 pounds per square inch at the hydrant, with a 950 gallons per minute flow at 35 pounds per square inch. Municipal sewer and three-phase power are also available. Most of the lots in the south phase have a southern exposure. A vegetated swale runs through Lots 2 and 3, draining water from the uplands to two detention ponds - the first is located in a common area adjacent to Lot 5; the second is located on Lot 8.
The Belfast Airport Business Park possesses a permit under the Site Location of Development Law, which eliminates the need for additional permits from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, provided various criteria are met. Most allowed uses require only Code Enforcement Officer review and not local Planning Board review. However, the permit does require certain deed restrictions, and there are additional requirements to comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
Belfast Airport Business Park Development Criteria include a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet; a maximum building coverage of 85%; and a minimum lot frontage of 150 feet.
If you have interest in bringing your business to the Belfast Airport Business Park, please contact Economic Development Director and Business Park Manager Thomas Kittredge at (207) 338-3370 extension 116.

The Philip St. Ives Series: Book 4
St. Ives goes to London on a job for the least trustworthy con artist he knows. Philip St. Ives has only been in the pub a few minutes before he realizes his whiskey is drugged. Instantly sick, he's vomiting on the sidewalk when the muggers appear. He fights as best he can in his drugged state, and only when he feels the handcuffs does he realize his assailants aren't muggers - they're cops. He wakes in a dingy cell to the knowledge that English Eddie Apex has pulled a fast one on him. English Eddie is not English, but talks with a British accent that once made him New York's most refined con artist. In retirement and living in London, he had hired St. Ives - a professional mediator between crooks and their marks - to come to England to help him recover a stolen painting. The drugged whiskey won't be the last surprise St. Ives gets in Blighty, and the police won't be the only ones who try to cause him pain.

Samsung's Marshmallow beta test builds are now finally graduating to the stable state as the company begins rollout for the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmwares in Korea today.
Under the test builds, users were able to achieve systemless root on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge devices running Marshmallow by simply flashing the latest SuperSU beta from TWRP recovery. But we aren't sure yet if the same would work with the final builds of Marshmallow 6.0.1 as well.
Also, you might need updated TWRP recovery builds for the newer 6.0.1 firmwares. The previous TWRP recovery builds might not work on Galaxy S6/Edge Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmwares.
So before you head out and install the Android 6.0.1 firmware on your Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge, know that there isn't a working root method known for the 6.0.1 release yet.
We're actively looking over the XDA threads for any helpful information on S6 and S6 Edge 6.0.1 root status. If root access is something, you can't go without on your device, then we'd recommend you to wait for a while before installing the official 6.0.1 firmware on your device.
For the unknown, getting root Marshmallow is possible by only two ways either install a modified custom kernel OR use Chainfire's systemless root. While we're sure both methods would work eventually for Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge 6.0.1 firmwares, but for the needy folks among us, it's better to stay of the Marshmallow sweetness until root is confirmed 100% by the community.

Who are Konohamaru's Parents?
Konohamaru was named Konoha by his grandfather and was born into the Sarutobi clan.
The villagers never called Konohamaru by his given name while he was growing up with his Anbu parents; instead, they always referred to him as "Honorable Grandson" due to his connection to the Hokage.
Konohamaru started attempting to defeat Hiruzen in order to succeed him as Hokage because he wanted to be seen seriously as a person and not just the Hokage's grandson.
Konohamaru is a recurring character in the Naruto series. He started out as a teenage ninja who followed in Naruto's footsteps.
As the series progressed, however, he matured into an exceptional teacher to the younger students of Konoha.
Konohamaru recently took over as Team 7's sensei, and he is now teaching Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's children in order to prepare them for their futures as ninjas.
About his parents
Due to the fact that the manga goes into specifics about Konohamaru's parents, keen-eyed followers of Konoha have been able to unearth a previously unknown piece of history regarding the spoiled ninja who later became a teacher.
A fan provided a fresh piece of information from the manga titled "Road to B," which was developed in anticipation of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime.
The most important job of the ANBU ninja of Konoha is to take care of the "wetwork" in the Hidden Leaf village.
Also Read: What Episode Does Itachi Die In?
One of the most prominent members was Kakashi, who was the first instructor for Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura when they were all a part of Team 7.
Kakashi was typically tasked with assassination missions. It was revealed in this particular manga that Konohamaru's parents were part of this covert delegation, which operated under the direction of the third Hokage.
One of the most terrible deaths in Naruto's history was that of Konohamaru's uncle, Asuma Sarutobi.
His daughter, the young ninja Mirai, continued the legacy of supporting Konoha after her father's passing by becoming a ninja.
The amount of care paid to the history of this ninja world and the extended continuities of these characters was one of Naruto's biggest qualities as a series.
It wasn't just the electrifying battles and the three-dimensional characters; it was also one of the series' greatest assets.
Even now, after all these years and a significant amount of time has passed from the beginning of the plot of the sequel series Boruto, fans are continuously discovering new details and secrets.

Is there methylisothiazolinone in food?
This synthetic preservative has not been approved for food preservation, and neither have any of its relatives, such as methylchloroisothiazolinone. There should not be, nor should there ever have been, any MI in any products for human oral consumption.
But could this status quo be at risk?
No, one would hope. Food industry has plenty of food-grade preservatives — including traditional ones such as plain salt, and vinegar — at its disposal.
Not processed using MI …. yet.
But what about its use in food processing? A paper published in July in the International Journal of Food Microbiology suggested that the MI / MCI blend could be "a plausible alternative to chlorine" as a anti-microbial agent in the fruit and vegetable processing industry.
Whether isothiazolinone use for fresh produce processing might ever get approved is anyone's guess, but I would hope it never would, as traces could well remain on food items such as lettuce leaves and apples, which aren't always washed by consumers. Quite what kind of reaction the immune system would mount to orally consumed isothiazolinone in a consumer sensitised to these anti-microbials is uncertain, given exposure is typically through skin, though also through lungs / nasal membranes in the case of paint. Small consolation it may be, but even if their use was to be passed and authorised, that approval would come in many years' time, and with the isothiazolinone community now strong, and awareness among allergists high, protests and dissent would surely get in the way of the unthinkable ever happening.
So does that mean eating is safe for now?
As many with long established MI allergy will tell you, eating out and being served food on plates which has been washed in MI-containing detergent and insufficiently rinsed, or tabletops which have been cleaned with MI-preserved surface wipes, can lead to a possible reaction.
It's entirely plausible that jars and bottles and other food and drink containers are sterilised in the food industry with isothiazolinone-containing detergents or agents. One would assume these are thoroughly rinsed, but who knows how often mistakes happen? It's the same for food machinery in processing plants, where it's safe to assume vast quantities of (possibly) MI-containing industrial cleaners are deployed.
Food labels too are likely to be printed with inks and on paper which both may be processed using isothiazolinone-containing materials — and we all may touch such products or containers dozens of times daily.
Do any readers have a story of a possible food-related reaction? Please leave a comment if so, as it could inspire a future post or research into the issue.
Although we normally associate MI allergy with skin exposure — mainly through cosmetics — and aerosolised exposure via recently-applied paint, there is also a potential risk through products we use to maintain oral hygiene.
Long standing readers may remember my post several years ago about methylisothiazolinone in Colgate Cavity Protection mouthwash.
Although I've yet to see an isothiazolinone in toothpaste, we must bear in mind that both toothpaste and mouthwash are classed as (rinse-off) cosmetics, so could in theory contain MI and perhaps MCI too. You can imagine exposure via oral membranes might be particularly unpleasant.
Does organic food have the possibility to be sprayed with this at all? I also have a latex allergy and there is a list a mile long of foods related to latex including almonds Pretty soon it will get that I cannot eat anything.
I would imagine the risk is very low for non-organic, and lower still for organic, but I don't know for sure. There is a long list of potential cross-reactions to latex but did your immunologist not advise you to only avoid the ones you react to? Or can you have tests to discover which foods you can tolerate? Push to see a dietitian if you are on a very restricted diet.


Whether it's been to justify my spells away from the studio to work as a management consultant, business owner, museum associate, mother, etc, I always believe that my artwork, and artwork in general, benefits from the more I know about everything else besides art. I still believe that is what separates the best art from the worst. And yes, you can do this too – and we all need to get better at seeing properly what is good from bad – there is a way to see work that benefits from a whole perspective versus a flat one (in work, life and art). You can tell what kind of cheese tastes good, great and terrible right? You can do the same with art. Example at the bottom of this post*. And if you haven't all ready, please join us over at Point + Line to start a dialog with an artist – take them to task, it's what artists need most right now, and if you can talk about art, you can tackle any funky conversation about politics, race and religion.
Last year I dedicated myself to more critical thinking, which incidentally caused me to be quite uptight about what and why to post anything, and this year is the year I throw open the gates/doors/fences/curtains and let all the new experiences I'm having inform and in fact become my work. My mantra has always been "art is a verb", and this year on no uncertain terms it is. Creating boundaries of what art is and is not is silly, I'm much more interested in the idea of making art out of what is precisely not found in the cannon. I'm giving myself full permission this year to try it all, not to hold back, and stop playing small. For better or worse I have barely any boundaries in my life and work – which is generally why I keep things private (it's complicated), and slightly incoherent for the viewers of my artwork. I'm opening the perspectives this year and plan to leap before I look. And provide cliff notes to those I find near and dear (that includes you).
*From my travels in NYC this weekend here are two examples of good and bad art. The one on the top is by Henri Matisse, the one on the bottom, from exactly 100 years later was a gallery show recommended by a magazine that rhymes with rogue, and a critic whose name rhymes with Joberta Myth called them "lush paintings". Can you tell the difference? You might accuse me of nostalgia for liking the older work, still I see a sensibility that is different, more nuanced and less self conscious – this to me is obvious.

John Nunn's Chess Puzzle Book - Nunn
Most chess puzzle books put you in an artificial situation: you are told a combination exists, what the theme is and what you are required to achieve. This one is different. In a real game, a player may sometimes need to find a combination. On the other hand he may have to reject a tactical idea and simply find a good positional move. His task is to find the right move, whatever it may be. The 300 puzzles in this book put you precisely in that situation. Spectacular ideas abound in these positions, but it is for you to decide whether to go in for them, or whether you would be falling into a trap. If you need them, there are hints to help you on your way. The book ends with a series of tests to measure your skills against those of other players. For this new edition, John Nunn, a top-class grandmaster and a solving world champion, has added 50 new puzzles (with hints and detailed solutions) to test your skills to the full. For ease of following, extra diagrams have been added to the solutions throughout. Overall the book is 60 per cent bigger than the first edition. Dr John Nunn is one of the best-respected figures in world chess. He was among the world's leading grandmasters for nearly twenty years, winning four gold medals in chess Olympiads and finishing sixth overall in the World Cup in 1989. He is a much-acclaimed writer, whose works have won 'Book of the Year' awards in several countries. In 2004, 2007 and 2010 Nunn was crowned World Chess Solving Champion, ahead of many former champions.

Guitarist and chief screamer Marissa Paternoster and bassist Mike 'King Mike' Abbate were already playing music together back in high school. When Paternoster made the move to New Brunswick for University, they joined forces with drummer Jarrett Dougherty and a legend was born. Remember that band you were in back in high school? Remember how the band split up? Now imagine, in some cool alternate universe, that you stuck together. You stuck together and became New Jersey's Screaming Females.
Before Paternoster and Co can take to the stage and before my Screaming Females super-fan friend explodes, it's time for Long Body to get the night started. The Leeds-based two-piece specialise in raw yet melodic fuzz-pop with satisfyingly crunchy grunge chords. The songs bounce along on the back of Hayley Smith's understated yet passionate vocals and Will Cook's suitably energetic drumming.
Cook frequently wiping the sweat from his forehead as he laughs and thanks the crowd for coming down early. There's a tight musical bond between the two musicians and the kind of telepathy that makes a two-piece like this so effective. The songs are clearly fun for both of them while Smith's lyrics feel particularly cathartic. The last song, she explains, is about her autism and how it affects her making friends. A rather brilliant and confidently delivered set of grunge-pop goodness.
With her guitar strapped around her waist, Screaming Females' Marissa Paternoster kicks things off with the double-whammy of 'Glass House' and 'Extinction'. It becomes abundantly clear that Paternoster is a genuine, 100% certified, guitar hero. Now, you really shouldn't put musicians on pedestals but how else do you describe the kind of insane riffs and frenzied shredding emanating from the stage?
The band's sound takes the somersaulting guitars of prime-time Dinosaur Jr and straps it to claustrophobic, passionate post-punk. Paternoster's vocals are dramatic and, much like her axe skills, highly accomplished. Perhaps unsurprisingly considering the band's name, Paternoster also has one hell-of-a- scream. Marissa may be the star of the show but there's no denying that Screaming Females are an unbelievable three-piece, Dougherty and Abbate creating lithe and limber rhythms for her impassioned wail. Yeah, these guys definitely know what they're doing.
Veering between tight, dynamic songwriting, wild wig-outs and instrumental detours; everything the band does feels natural and unrestrained. You can almost picture them at band practice, still loving jamming together after all these years. All of this makes for an undeniably exciting live show, the band clearly at the very top of their game.
There's very little in the way of stage banter, every ounce of energy is put straight into the performance. It's a sound rammed with breath-taking solo's, blurry fingered shredding and, most importantly, tonnes of heart. Not one second is wasted; from the ridiculously energetic, frantic post-punk thrills of 'Baby Jesus' to the celebratory and catchy delights of 'I Don't Mind It'.
The band has given it their all tonight and Paternoster must have one or two blisters on her fingers but she doesn't leave before teaching my super-fan friend how to high-five properly. Apparently, it's all about the elbow. Now, if only there was a way to get some free guitar lessons.

Cathedral Character Analysis
Topics: Blindness, Braille, Cataract Pages: 4 (1416 words) Published: October 7, 2013
Blinded
In the story "Cathedral", by Raymond Carver, the narrator is conflicted with issues of inner-demons that are manifested in a blind man whom he perceives as a danger to his marriage. The narrator in this story is a good example of an anti-hero showing negative characteristics while never actually being a bad guy. This gives the idea that he is very humanistic character. That being said, he is a flawed character who is just trying to please his wife while not giving up what he wants. In the end he realizes that he can have both revealing a very enlighten experience. Over the entire story the narrator is confronted with different moments that gradually alters his perspective and changes him for the better.
When we first meet the narrator he is fearful of his new visitor and what it will do to his family and shows that he does not have very good feelings towards this blind man. The narrator immediately lets us know where he stands by saying "I wasn't enthusiastic about his visit... And his being blind bothered me." (Carver 106). This statement shows a great deal of ignorance in the character and a good sense of short-sighted views. However, he goes to stress that "[His] idea of blindness came from the movies.". He uses the pop cultural reference to blind people to excuse his ignorance, but all he shows to the audience is that he knows only of fictional blind people and has to base his opinion on his visitor from that (Carver 106). With him being a honest character, he does reveal what is truly bothering him is his jealousy of Robert, but initially this information is clouded by the narrator's obsession with Robert's blindness. From that we can actually come out and say that the narrator is blind in the beginning of the story, and he's the one that can't see who Robert is. He even tells us that he has no real understanding of his wife when he mentions her poetry "I didn't think much of the poem. Of course, I didn't tell her that." even though he...

Cathedral Character Analysis by Carver Essay
...In Cathedral, by Raymond Carver, a blind man is visiting his friend that took care of him ten years ago. Although never given a name in this story, the narrator's (Bub's) wife is an important character. It is her friendship with Robert that "makes" the story. For her, it started out just as a job, and grew into much more. She read to Robert and helped him with all the household chores. She left working for him because her husband went to officer training school so they had to move. The blind man and the woman kept in touch through audio tapes throughout the years. This gave the woman enough money so that she could marry her childhood sweetheart. You may be able to tell, just what a kind and giving person she was, for doing the job she chose. She did more than just give a blind man hope – she gave herself a life. As an air-force officer's wife, she moved frequently and lived through difficult situations. This shows truth that the wife has strength. Over the years, as she kept in touch with Robert, their connection seemed to be an important part of her life. At one point after her marriage to the air-force officer and before her marriage to the narrator, she tried to commit suicide because she felt lonely and isolated. She was missing purpose in her life. Could it possibly be because of Robert - that she is still alive in the story? Her correspondence with Robert through the exchange of tapes continued and it appeared to be her only way of...
An Analysis of Cathedral Research Paper
...An Analysis of Cathedral Cathedral, written by Raymond Carver, is a short story that explores the narrator's insecurities and fears of what he does not understand and through the progression of the story is enlightened by the man he fears. The short story Cathedral is a story of the narrators' wife's old friend coming to visit. The friend, Robert, is a man that she knew ten years before and has kept in contact with since. The two correspond via tape recordings on a regular basis. The wife tells Robert of all goings on in her life and Robert responds in kind. Robert's wife has died and he will be close enough to come and visit his old friend. Cathedral is written in the first person and is narrated by the husband character. The other characters are the aforementioned wife of the narrator, and Robert the blind man. The initial tone of the story is set in the opening line of the story, Carver (1983) writes "This blind man, an old friend of my wife's, he was on the way to spend the night." There is an obvious disdain in the tone of the narrator. The narrator goes on to say about Robert "I wasn't enthusiastic about his visit. He was no one I knew. And his being blind bothered me" (Carver, R, 1983). According to Clugston (2010) "A short story should contain a plot with a conflict driven tied together actions and events." Throughout Cathedral there are two...
Cathedral Analysis Essay
... Cathedral Analysis Cathedral Analysis In Raymond Carver's Cathedral there is a lot of symbolism relating to the narrator's close mindedness. In this world there are people that are physically impaired, but this does not limit them in connecting with people emotionally. Some people who are not impaired have a tougher time realizing that they are the ones spiritually blind and unable to connect with people. The narrator is a man who is a person who is spiritually blind and does not connect well with people, not even his own wife. This could be related to the machismo way of thinking about men. How is it that a man can live his life for so long and not realize he had been blind the whole time? The story is about a married couple getting a visit from the wife's friend. This friend is a physically blind man who ends up opening the eyes of the narrator. The blind man is named Robert, a person the narrator's wife would work for as a reader. The narrator does not like the visit of this man even though it really means a lot to his wife. He says that the man's blindness unsettles him and makes him feel uncomfortable. The wife and Robert have kept in touch over the ten years of separation by sending each other audiotapes. The wife would tell Robert everything and could relate to him more than her husband. The narrator does not connect emotionally to his wife or the...
Essay on Character Analysis
...Character Analysis: the narrator (Raymond Carver, "Cathedral") The narrator in Raymond Carver's "Cathedral," is portrayed as someone who lacks insight and awareness of the things around him. He is paralyzed, stuck in a destructive way of living. The narrator does not realize the limitations he has placed on himself that prevent him from seeing things greater than life. Carver exposes the narrator's true personality using a first-person narrative. It isn't hard to tell that the narrator is jealous of Robert and his wives past relationship. His wife used to work for Robert one summer in Seattle, ten years ago, as a "Reading to Blind Man" (299). She had to quit when she decided to marry her childhood sweetheart for her first marriage, but Robert and her stayed in touch by sending each other voice tapes through the mail (301). The narrator is making assumptions and criticisms about blind people because of his jealousy towards his wives and Roberts's relationship. You can speculate this because of the sequence the story is told in: first the narrator talks about the relationship the blind man and his wife used to have, and then he talks about what he thinks of blind people in general. He states that his idea of blindness came from the movies and that he has never met a blind person before (299). The narrator doesn't seem happy in his marriage. His wife asks if her blind friend, Robert, can stay with them because his...
Essay on "Cathedral" Character Analysis
...Throughout Raymond Carver's "Cathedral," the nameless narrator, the main character develops emotionally through a situation that creates fear in an already introverted man. He does not want to go outside of his comfort zone and he is caught off guard when he is forced beyond his current developmental state. But, through a lesson from the blind narrator finds himself enlightened to the sentiments of the handicapped. When the blind man, Robert, first arrives at the narrator's house the two men, along with the narrator's wife, sit down to dinner. During the dinner, not much is said between the three, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Most families do not welcome visitors into their house by not saying a word while eating. However, because the narrator did not want the blind man in his house he does not feel the need to make him comfortable. He made little effort to welcome the man into his home. He did not go above and beyond to make the environment relaxed for everyone. The narrator says, "We ate everything that was to eat on the table. We ate like that was no tomorrow. We didn't talk. We ate. We scarfed. We grazed the table. We were into serious eating." It seems that the narrator cared more about the food that he ate than being a good host to the blind man. That makes him look selfish. It appears that since he does not want the blind man in his house he does thinks that he should have to do anything for him. He does not care if he is...

Essay about character analysis
...University of Santo Tomas Department of Psychology, College of Science Theories of Personality / Marc Eric S. Reyes, PhD, RP, CCLP, CASP Teatro Tomasino's De Cuatro Name (Surname, FN): Martinez, Jeric Bueno Section: 2-Psy5 Instructions: Write a 2-3 page paper, about a character from the Teatro Tomasino play entitled "De Cuatro." Describe and examine the character from a psychodynamic or humanistic-existential perspective (except Freud). Description and examination of this person shall be based on the theory's structure, process (motives, defenses etc.), and psychopathology (if applicable). Include citations and references in APA format for any sources used to support your ideas. In watching the said play, I observed one character that portray the key concepts of Karen Horney's psychoanalytic social theory in the way she interact with others. She was the perfect example and was the obvious one for me. Even others can actually agree with me when it comes to this particular characteristic, "neurotic". This particular character holds a philosophy that anything that is foreign is superior and anything indigenous as inferior. She is an elderly woman who is desperate to become a Spaniard, Doña Victorina de los Reyes de Espadaña. She represents the colonial mentality of Filipinos during the Spanish era. She actually has this basic anxiety because of the fact that she has this feeling of insecurity...
...Amber Libhart Professor Johnson English 1302 February 9, 2013 Everyday Use In Alice Walker's "Everyday Use", the three main characters are black females with varying personality characteristics. 'Mama's house' is where the story occurs. The time period is one of increasing freedom and idealism among not only the African American population but multiple populations of people. The story is full of symbolism and meaning. I think one of the primary ideas the author was attempting to convey was that African Americans experienced significant struggles, internally and externally, during this particular period of time. Mama is shown to be an uneducated but hard working practical woman. Alice Walker reveals Mama is proud of her accomplishments in life - her children, her heritage, her home and her ability to work like a man and care for herself and Maggie. Mama may not fully understand heritage but Mama loved and respected her ancestors as evidenced by Mama's description of the quilts: "They had been pieced together by Grandma Dee and then Big Dee and me had hung them on the quilt frames on the front porch and quilted them...in both of them were Grandpa Jarrell's paisley shirts. And one teeny faded blue piece... that was from Great Grandpa Ezra's uniform that he works in the Civil War. (Walker)"The butter churn is another piece of symbolism that Alice Walker uses to represent Mama's understanding of heritage: ..."you could see where thumbs and gingers had...
