__label__cc	0.512341	0.487659	Tag Archives: Cleaved-Asn62). 20Jun / 2017 Recently we have reported cases of demyelinating inflammatory neuropathy showing elevated Recently we have reported cases of demyelinating inflammatory neuropathy showing elevated titers of anti-GD3 antibodies, which occurs in Guillain-Barr syndrome rarely. Schwann cell nodes and surface area of Ranvier in rat sciatic nerve. To Salinomycin determine the target epitope for GD3 antibodies in causing nerve dysfunction, the LPS fraction containing the GD3 epitope was purified from the total LPS by using an anti-GD3 monoclonal antibody-immobilized affinity column. Subsequently, chemical analysis of the oligosaccharide portion was performed and confirmed the presence of a GD3-like epitope as having the following tetrasaccharide structure: NeuAc2-8NeuAc2-3Gal1-4Hep. Our data thus support the possibility of a contribution of GD3 mimicry as a potential pathogenic mechanism of peripheral nerve dysfunction. (have been shown to possess carbohydrate epitopes similar to gangliosides, which may serve as the putative pathogenic triggers Salinomycin for subsequent GBS onset. Thus, these disorders may develop as a result of infection. In addition to anti-GQ1b Abs, anti-GD3 Abs have been detected in the Miller Fisher variant of GBS (Chiba et al., 1992; Carpo et al., 1998; Susuki et al., 2001; Willison and Yuki, 2002; Willison et al., 2004). Recently we have reported instances of AIDP and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) displaying high elevations of anti-GD3 Abs, which hardly ever happens in GBS (Usuki et al., 2005). The query then comes up of the foundation from the antiglycolipid (anti-GSL) Abs in GBS, specifically, the system of elevation of anti-GD3 Abs in these individuals. A plausible resource, we reasoned, could occur from infectious real estate agents such as bacterias, infections, or foodstuffs, insofar because so many GBS instances occur with an antecedent infectious event that precipitates an immunological and allergic response. In light from the wide event of anti-GSL Abs in these individuals, recent study on GBS offers centered on GSL mimicry between LPSs in and endogenous GSLs in the peripheral anxious system which may be mixed up in pathological systems of GBS (Ang et al., 2004). Stress HS19 of was isolated from GBS individuals and paralytic hens (Li et al., 1996) and discovered to be connected with 29% of ATCC-43446 (serotype HS19) was cultivated in broth with mild shaking (100C150 rpm) at 37C for 48 hr under microaerophilic circumstances. The cells had been retrieved by centrifugation at 4,000 rpm for 30 min and washed with saline twice. The cell pellets had been kept freezing at ?20C until use. The LPS small fraction was extracted from pellets from the popular phenol-water treatment (Westphal et al., 1952). An aqueous stage and a phenolic stage had been acquired. The aqueous stage was dialyzed against drinking water. The dialysate was treated with 2 vol of methanol and 1 vol of chloroform. Following the chloroform coating was retrieved by separatory funnel partitioning, the aqueous coating was once again partitioned with 1 vol of chloroform and 1 vol of drinking water. The chloroform layer was combined and recovered with the prior chloroform layer. A lot of the LPSs had been Rabbit Polyclonal to BID (p15, Cleaved-Asn62). retrieved in the mixed chloroform fraction. Yet another minor quantity of LPS was precipitated from the rest of the phenolic stage by addition of 9 vol of acetone. Both LPS fractions had been combined, dried, and put through alkaline hydrolysis with 25% ammonia at 56C for 48 hr. The perfect solution is was dialyzed against water as well as the retentate lyophilized then. Sensitization of Rats Immunization was performed according to our previous procedure (Yamawaki et al., 1996). Eight-week-old female Lewis Salinomycin rats, weighing 200C250 g each, were used. One hundred micrograms of LPS were dissolved in 50 mM of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05 ml of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH; 2 mg/ml) and emulsified with an equal volume of complete Freund’s adjuvant. Rats were given a single subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml of inoculum (or vehicle) into the footpads of hind limbs and shoulders. Booster injections were administered similarly to LPS (or vehicle)-treated animals 3 x at 2-week intervals with 100 g of LPS (or no additive) and 2 mg/ml of KLH in PBS emulsified with the same volume of imperfect Freund’s adjuvant. The experimental pets had been split into three organizations: 1) eight rats (LPS-treated rats) injected.

__label__cc	0.611676	0.388324	ITALY DESTROYED ITALY’S RECIPE FOR DISASTER Published March 24, 2020 \| By Giacomino Nicolazzo [2] Giacomino Nicolazzo is one of Italy’s most beloved writers. Born and raised in Central Pennsylvania USA, he lives in a small villaget in Lombardy where he writes his books. Montecalvo, Lombardy, Italy. As I sit here in my involuntary isolation, it was just reported that overnight 743 more people died and 5.249 new cases have been reported. This brings the total cases of infection to 69,176 and the body count to 6,820. We take relief in knowing that 8,326 people have recovered so far. (Numbers as of 3/24, 8:30pm in Italy [4].) Most towns here in Italy, from the upper reaches of the Alps to the ancient shores of Sicilia and Sardenia, while not deserted, are closer to being ghost towns than the bustling centers of tourism, business and daily life they were just a few weeks ago. Stores and shops have been shuttered. Restaurants and coffee shops no longer serve customers. Schools, universities, sporting arenas…even our museums and theaters…all closed. Even the Vatican City has closed its gates and armed patrols monitor the 20 foot tall walls that protect it! Streets and roads are now empty for as far as the eye can see. Normally they would be filled with crazed Italian drivers in tiny cars and scooters (the ones that sound like demonic insects) darting here and there, reaching the limits of centrifugal force on our roundabouts. In the piazze of our towns and cities, there are now officially more pigeons than people. Many of us know someone who has been infected and recovered. Some of us know someone who did not recover…now they are dead. But everyone knows someone who has been affected by this microscopic monster in one way or another. Sixty million of us are in lockdown ... it is like a war zone here. We are being held prisoner in our own homes by an unseen enemy that sneaked in unnoticed ... by most of us. As you will read in just a few more minutes, there were those who knew something like this was coming ... or at least they should have. So who is to blame? With all this craziness swirling like a whirlpool at our feet, I just had to find the right answer. And so I have spent my free time (of which I have a lot in these days) digging and researching. I was literally shocked to discover how this has come to be. I am not going to bore you with talk of Patient ‘0’ who spread it to Patient ‘1’ and how mathematics efficiently explains the rapid expansion of infection. No…I am going to tell you how (as I see it) the virus came to Italy. It has everything to do with communism. Allow me to explain. Beginning in about 2014, Matteo Renzi, the imbecile ex-mayor of Firenze (Florence) acting as the leader of the Partito Democratico (synonymous with the Italian Communist party), somehow managed to get himself elected as Italy’s Prime Minister. To give you a proper frame of reference, Matteo Renzi was so far left, he would make Barack Obama look like Barry Goldwater! At the same time that Renzi was leading Italy into oblivion, strange things were happening in Italy’s economy. Banks were failing…but not closing. Retirement ages were being extended…for some reason the pension funds were dwindling or disappearing. The national sales tax we call IVA (Value Added Tax) rose from 18% to 20%, then to 21% and again to 22%. And in the midst of all this financial chicanery, the Chinese began furiously buying up Italian real estate and businesses in the North. Now the reason I mention Renzi and the Chinese together is that strange things were also going on between the governments of Italy and China. A blind eye was being turned to the way the Chinese were buying businesses in the financial, telecommunication, industrial and fashion sectors of Italy’s economy, all of which take place in Milano. To be brief…China was getting away with purchases and acquisitions in violation of Italian law and EU Trade Agreements with the US and the UK…and no one in either of those countries (not Obama in the US or Cameron in the UK) said a thing in their country’s defense. As a matter of fact, much of it was hidden from the public in all three countries. In 2014, China infused the Italian economy with €5 billion through purchases of companies costing less than €100 million each. By the time Renzi left office (in disgrace) in 2016, Chinese acquisitions had exceeded €52 billion. When the dust settled, China owned more than 300 companies…representing 27% of the major Italian corporations. The Bank of China now owns five major banks in Italy…all of which had been secretly (and illegally) propped up by Renzi using pilfered pension funds! Soon after, the China Milano Equity Exchange was opened and much of Italy’s wealth was being funneled back to the Chinese mainland. Chinese state entities own Italy’s major telecommunication corporation (Telecom) as well as its major utilities (ENI and ENEL). Upon entry into the telecommunication market, Huawei established a facility in Segrate, a suburb of Milano. It launched it’s first research center there and worked on the study of microwaves which has resulted in the possibly-dangerous technology we call 5G. China also now owns controlling interest in Fiat-Chrysler, Prysmian and Terna. You will be surprised to know that when you put a set of Pirelli tires on your car, the profits are going to China. Yep…the Chinese colossus of ChemChina, a chemical industry titan, bought that company too! Last but not least is Ferretti yachts…the most prestigious yacht builder in Europe. Incredibly, it is no longer owned by the Ferretti family. But the sector in which Chinese companies invested most was Italy’s profitable fashion industry. The Pinco Pallino, Miss Sixty, Sergio Tacchini, Roberta di Camerino and Mariella Burani brands have been acquired by 100%. Designer Salvatore Ferragamo sold 16% and Caruso sold 35%. The most famous case is Krizia, purchased in 2014 by Shenzhen Marisfrolg Fashion Company, one of the leaders of high-priced, ready-to-wear fashions in Asia. Throughout all of these purchases and acquisitions, Renzi’s government afforded the Chinese unrestricted and unfettered access to Italy and its financial markets, many coming through without customs inspections. Quite literally, tens of thousands of Chinese came in through Milano (illegally) and went back out carrying money, technology and corporate secrets. Thousands more were allowed to enter and disappeared into shadows of Milano and other manufacturing cities of Lombardy, only to surface in illegal sewing shops, producing knock-off designer clothes and slapping ‘Made In Italy’ labels on them. All with the tacit approval of the Renzi government. It was not until there was a change in the governing party in Italy that the sweatshops and the illegal entry and departure of Chinese nationals was stopped. Matteo Salvini, representing the Lega Nord party, closed Italy’s ports to immigrants and systematically began disassembling the sweatshops and deporting those in Italy illegally. But his rise to power was short-lived. Italy is a communist country…socialism is in the national DNA. Ways were found to remove Salvini, after which the communist party, under the direction of Giuseppe Conte, reopened the ports. Immediately, thousands of unvetted, undocumented refugees from the Middle East and East Africa began pouring in again. Access was again provided to the Chinese, under the old terms, and as a consequence thousands of Chinese, the majority from Wuhan, began arriving in Milano. In December of last year, the first inklings of a coronavirus were noticed in Lombardy…in the Chinese neighborhoods. There is no doubt amongst senior medical officials that the virus was brought here from China. By the end of January 2020 cases were being reported left and right. By mid-February the virus was beginning to seriously overload the Lombardy hospitals and medical clinics. They are now in a state of collapse. The Far-Left politicians sold out and betrayed the Italian people with open border policies and social justice programs. One of the reasons the health care system collapsed so quickly is because the Renzi government (and now continued under the Conte government) redirected funds meant to sustain the medical system, to pay for the tens of thousands of immigrants brought in to Italy against the will of the Italian people. If you remember the horrible earthquake that decimated the villages around Amatricia, in the mountains east of Rome in 2015, you would also remember how the world responded by sending millions of dollars to help those affected. But there is a law in Italy that prevents private donations to charitable Italian organizations. All money and donations received must be turned over to a government agency, who in turn is to appropriate the funds as needed. But that agency is corrupt just as are all the others. Most of the money never reached a single victim in the mountains. The Renzi government redirected the vast majority of those funds to pay for the growing immigrant and refugee costs. As the economy worsened under the burden of illegal immigration, compounded by gross government spending and incompetence, unemployment rose quickly…especially among young people. The unemployment rate for men and women under age 35 is close to 40%. So more money was diverted from the health care system and used to pay what is known here as guaranteed income. Whether you work or not you are paid here, especially if you belong to the PD! The government simply raises taxes on those who do work. Let me give you a quick example of the height of insanity to which Italian taxation has risen. If you live in a building that has a balcony or balconies…and any of those balconies cast a shadow on the ground, you must pay a public shadow tax! I will say no more! The point I am trying to make here is that not only did the Chinese bring the virus to Italy (and the rest of the world) it was far-Left politics and policies that facilitated it. This should hopefully be a warning to Americans that while they work to rid themselves of the China Virus, they should just as vehemently endeavor to rid their government of any politician that circumvents the Constitution and ignores the laws of the land…plain and simple. _Giacomino Nicolazzo_ [1]_ is one of Italy’s most beloved writers.

Odpověď Jindřichu Paříkovi (Michal Kubálek) Čulíkovy analýzy článků o České televizi jsou povrchní, plytké a neslušné (Ivo Mathé) On Various Aspects of Going /by/ the Underground in Bohemia Martin Pilař, Ostrava University (Dr. Martin Pilař is currently doing research at the Department of Slavonic Languages and Literatures at Glasgow University) For the British the being in an "underground" may have various meanings. One of the most common ones is to use a certain way of travelling. That sort of travelling which cannot be seen from the surface and is widely used by people in a hurry. Here in Glasgow it always offers to its users the possibility of coming back to the starting point of their voyage [esp. to the the sleepy individuals or those who are not in a hurry]. But - according to many philosophers - moving in circles is not a totally useless way of traveling. At least for the artists and the scientists interested in the humanities it seems to be one of the most important kinds of human movement. The London "underground" is rather different from the Glasgow one. It offers to the pilgrim a chance of reaching a certain point that radically differs from the starting one. In a few words, a London underground pilgrimage may be commenced at an A station and finished at a B terminal. At the same time we should not forget that there also exists the Circle Line in London that seems to be a foster-father to its Glaswegian distant relative. You need not worry, I am not going to bother you with the semiotics of travelling. It has been done many times [e.g. by Roland Barthes] and - by the way - the semiotics of the Prague underground and the totalitarian names of its stations have been described in one of the essays of Vladimír Macura. I am going to offer you some basic information of what is increasingly being called the phenomenon of the Czech literary undeground. After the end of the Prague Spring in August 1968 the English word "underground" started to be used so frequently that after November 1989 it really was not easy to understand what a Czech speaker saying the "underground" has on his mind. Only one thing seemed to be sure - that the speaker probably did not mean a mode of travel, because the Prague underground in this sense of the word is called "Metro" in Czech. The spectrum of the possible meanings of the word the "underground" has become a little bit narrower now. But any kind of optimism would be rather premature, because the expression "the Czech political and cultural underground" offers such a wide range of meanings that even now it cannot be easily defined. E.g. when we read advertisments for the 68 Publishers in Toronto from the 70s and the 80s we are offered "books in Czech - by leading contemporary Czech writers both from the Prague underground and in exile." But when a literary historian has a closer look at the list of advertized authors by 68 Publishers, he will find only a single representative of what is now called the Czech literary underground. It is the name of Egon Bondy, who is also known as an almost legendary character of a few narratives by Bohumil Hrabal. As I know from personal discussion with Bondy, he did not agree with the publishing of his manuscripts in Canada and he even does not own any copy of the two of his books printed due to the activities of Josef Škvorecký and his wife. It was only in the 90s when the difference between the wider and the narrower senses of the word "underground" began being distinguished and when the narrower sense of the word began to be understood as a term pointing to a certain literary phenomenon. Although systematic study of this phenomenon has not yet gone very far and although the phenomenon is not a matter of a very remote past, it seems to be possible to define the phenomenon. I will try to do this later. Now I feel that this rather general opening paragraph of my essay should be followed by something more concrete. Speaking about literature I should use texts. Let us have a look at two poems. They are not generally known to the Czech reading public and I really do not wish them to be used in Czech textbooks and anthologies. I do not like the concept of "typization" which was so popular among the false prophets of social realism. I hope that these texts are not typical! I am offering them to you just because I am persuaded that there is something provokative in them or maybe even moving. Lepidoptera sum These days, editors have a difficult time They are expected to assume a decisive stance on who exactly should be printed and who should not Some people are in exile and are abusing us others write there, but are well-behaved It is the same at home Some people have not been published at all other have ceased being published. Some of them are being naughty, others are well-behaved. Those of them who are impatient publish themselves. A few dozen people read it and so far it has been evidently tolerated. I have been writing for forty years now But I do not publish my work oficially or in samizdat. I do not feel it to be essential. I have read of a strange phenomenon which has been called the butterfly effect: If today in Peking a butterfly flutters its wings next month, this can influence the weather in New York I have been following contemporary thinking very attentively and I am becoming sure I am deeply convinced of this that the movement of my thoughts dozens of years ago has not been without influence My ambition is not based on general popularity. I want to make a mark uniformed consciousness. (translated by Jan Čulík) This poem was written by Ivo Vodseďálek exactly one year before the Velvet Coup in November 1989. It is a strongly biographical text, there is no poetic licence in it. We can read it as a "totally realistic" statement. In the blank space between the lines we can feel the author's pride that after 40 years of writing for the drawer he still adheres to his highly ethical approach towards the fact of writing. His free-verse confession poses important questions: Can we reach a realistic picture of the developments in Czech literature, if we follow its schematic and widely used division into the three main streams: official, samizdat and exile? Is it absolutely necessary to publish your writings in order to become influential? What is more important: publishing to become widely known or silently thinking in solitude and sharing your ideas only with a couple of friends? Vodseďálek's questions are rather tricky and unpleasant. I cannot promise to you to answer them properly. But fortunately I can supply you with a few basic facts about Ivo Vodseďálek at least. He was a founder and an editor of the Půlnoc [Midnight] samizdat edition which existed in the period 1950-1955. Together with Egon Bondy he was also its main author. Among guests of the Půlnoc edition we will also find the name of Bondy's friend Bohumil Hrabal who was deeply influenced by this unofficial literary activity of the 50s. There existed only about 5 typewritten copies the published texts, because the main aim of this samizdat edition was not to offer the texts to wider reading public, but to avoid their destruction by the secret police. Therefore it would not be quite proper to compare the Pulnoc edition with the numerous and widely known samizdat editions of the 70s. Vodseďálek entered the context of printed literature with five volumes of his of his collected works in 1992. Undoubtedly this was one of the most unusual debuts in Czech literature. The most influential and important collections of his poems were those from the beginning of the 50s [The Poetry of Embarrassment, Ukraine in Blossom, The Death of a Joke etc.] and his late poetry [e.g. The Confession, Lost Caution]. To sum it all up, Vodseďálek was together with Bondy and Hrabal one of the pioneers of the Czech literary underground, though Hrabal broke its unwritten laws as early as in the 60s by officially publishing his censored texts. Věra Jirousová Ten girls lay on the floor Their sexes ripped, smiling redly Not the eleventh, she's a virgin Her pale cunt catches the dew Like magnolias in the early morn(ing) My bright white horn lies in her lap Smooth and marvellous, resting on a cloud of perfume Suddenly at daybreak, she grasps it And violently thrusts it home herself The birds beyond the window begin to sing With red roses of blood The unicorn's virgin smiles (translated by Paul Wilson) This poem of Věra Jirousová was set to music by the legendary underground rock band The Plastic People of the Universe at the very beginning of their artistic career. We can see here several tendencies which occured very frequently in the second wave of the Czech underground after August 1968: Firstly we should notice the dreamy atmosphere (partly influenced by American psychedelic rock music) combined with four-letter words used so that maximally provocative contrasts could be reached. It is necessary to add that at the same time Czech underground groups admired roughness of the New York avant-garde represented by Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Nico etc. And secondly - the roots of Věra Jirousová's poem take their strength from typically European traditions like Old Greek mythology and decadent tendencies of the "fin de siecle". Mythological and decadent inspiration proved to be extremely fruitful in the following decades and it should be added that this tendency had not been caused by studying post-modern philosophy. It was something absolutely spontaneous. The best authors of the third generation of the Czech underground followed this tendency during the 80s and the 90s, the result of which were novels and collections of a very high standard. Jáchym Topol was highly praised for his novel Sestra /The Sister/ which is set in the economical and political turmoil in Prague after 1989. The novel offers a very strange combination of the myths of North American Indians and typically Catholic understanding of religion symbolized by The Holy Mary of Czestochowa. One of the most popular contemporary Czech poets of these days [mostly among young people] uses the pseudonym J.H.Krchovský, which itself sounds rather decadent. (The name can be translated as "a graveyard man"). Krchovský's decadent stylization can be easily recognized even from his photographic portrait reprinted on the cover pages of all his collections of poems. His lines with their never limping rhythms and euphonic melodies offer numerous samples of perfect craftmanship. But especially in important rhymes or at the closing lines Krchovský shocks his readers with irony or sarcasm reached by surprising usage of colloquial or sometimes even vulgar words. But let us go back to the psychedelic poem of Věra Jirousová from 1970. It should be noticed that her poetry was translated by Paul Wilson, the Canadian rocker who lived in Prague and played with The Plastic People for some time. He was forced to move out of Czechoslovakia after the publication of Charter 77. His good knowledge of colloquial Czech helped him to become an important translator of Hrabal's work to English (e.g. I Served the King of England). Thus - even when living on the American continent - he stressed connection between the authors of the Pulnoc samizdat edition from the early 50s and the new wave of underground culture of the early 70s. Now, with a certain amount of knowledge of the poetics of underground literature we can try to set aside the phenomenon of Czech literary underground from the wider meanings of the word "underground". Martin C.Putna, a representative of the younger generation of Czech Catholic criticism, is the author of an essay called Mnoho zemí v podzemí (Many Grounds in the Underground). Here he points out that being a part of the underground should be connected with the will of a person to leave a settled system of values. Those people, who became banned only under the pressure of external political change, should not be ranked among the "underground". The main condition of becoming a part of the underground is a conscious refusal of the so called "normal world". A proper member of the underground rejects the values of the normal world and is disgusted by them. Putna speaks of the four steps which usually lead a person to the underground: 1/ being disgusted by the official world and its culture 2/ leaving it 3/ joining people sharing similar opinion 4/ creating a different world (a paralel one) with different culture and a different scale of values Putna realized that even now - after focusing on the requirement of the will to leave established values - the spectrum of various "undergrounds" is extremely wide: It may include old Greek Cynics, various revolting religions and sects, as well as the non-conformists of the past few decades, e.g. the American Beatnics, hippies, punkers, anti-communist dissidents and - last but not least - the Czech underground. Putna was absolutely right when he felt that it was possible to distinguish the Czech underground from the general meaning of the word. The Czech literary underground is gradually becoming to be used as a term describing certain literary activities which have something in common: main periods of literary activity (esp. the beginnings of the 50s and the70s) certain places (esp. Prague and industrial regions of North Bohemia) common way of publishing: samizdat editions (Půlnoc and Explosionalism) and later samizdat magazines (Vokno and Revolver Revue in Prague, Paternoster in Vienna) leading personalities (Ivo Vodseďálek in the 50s, Ivan Martin Jirous in the 70s, Egon Bondy in both the periods) Practically no Czech reader knew about the activities of the authors of the Půlnoc edition, but the medium of rock music in the70s was so widely popular that no censorship could stop it. To some extend it could be said that the first wave of the underground literary activity was brought about by a few independent artists who frequented the same pubs and cafes and successfully tried to save their texts from destruction. The second wave of the underground literary activity could be called a movement. It had certain political indications - though they seldom overcame the longing for absolute freedom of artistic creation, which was not possible under Husák's government. The trial of the members of underground rock groups from Prague in 1976 caused a wave of solidarity among political dissidents and was a very important impulse for the creation of organized opposition known as Charter 77. Most of the imprisoned rockers signed the Charter after they had been released, but this should be understood first of all as another act of solidarity. The representatives of underground culture felt that their place was not among the shadowy establishment of Charter 77. They had artistic, and later even spiritual ambitions, but not political ones. Especially Ivan Martin Jirous kept repeating, after he had been released from prison, that the concept of "the undergroud" is based on "conscious intellectual effort" and on spiritual qualities in life. The rockers and their fans had a rather provocative image. This is why Jirous had to face many attacts on his alleged nihilism and negativism (even from some of the banned intelectuals, e.g. prof. Václav Černý). Václav Havel - both as an artist and a politician - deeply sympathized with the longing for freedom which he found in the music and the lyrics of the underground artists. In his essay on the rock project of the Plastic People called Hovezi porazka (The Slaughter of the Cattle , 1984) Havel wrote: "I do not think that this music is nihilistic. On the contrary I feel something deeply liberating, purifying, elevating and in certain way salutary in the fact that the pain of life is so harshly shouted out, presented in such a suggestive way, revealed in such a warning manner.[...] It seems to me that as far as a man is able to play and sing in this way, everything cannot be lost." It is possible to speak of dissidents and the underground [and Václav Havel did it quite often] as of members of a paralel polis, because adherents of both groups protested against the absence of political and artistic freedom in the communist state. Therefore the culture of this polis was frequently called the paralel culture. This provoked Ivan Martin Jirous to coin a new term, namely the second culture: "The final goal of our underground literary activity is to create a second culture. The culture independent of official channels of communication, of social appreciation and of the hierarchy of values, determined by the establishment." In his opinion the second culture cannot wish to destroy the currently existing establishment simply because this would drive it straight into the arms of another establishment. In the conditions of such terminological chaos it was inevitable to try to overcome it by a definition which would come near the truth and could be generally understood. This was for the first time made by Johanna Posset who after studying various source, tried to sum up the main features of the Czech literary underground. It was not in a study concentrated on this topic, but in her diploma thesis written at the University of Vienna about Czech samizdat periodicals. Her characteristics is basically right, but it will be better to comment on it in order that we could avoid misunderstanding: 1] Radical refusal of exerting pressure of any kind This point should not be understood merely as a political based on well-known ideas of Gandhi. In the less conspicuous meaning of such a refusal we can alsofidn a relationship to the idea of cultural continuity, which is very often a limiting factor of artistic freedom. The representatives of the underground literary activity did not wish to become a part of cultural history. Their answer to the pressure of communist cultural policy was not an open and organized political struggle. They set out to ignore the regime's pressure and violence. This authorities found this attitude so offending that numerous leading personalities of the underground were either imprisoned or forced to move out of Czechoslovakia. 2] No necessity of having a fixed artistic programme The authors of the Půlnoc edition developed programmes of "total realism" (Egon Bondy), "poetry of embarrassment" or "awkward poetry" (Ivo Vodseďálek and his "trapná poezie") and "explosionalism" (Vladimír Boudník). These artistic programmes can be interpreted as personal ways of getting rid of the very influential heritage of surrealism. None of the programmes was felt as obligatory for the others. In the underground of the 70s and 80s the poetics of "total realism" and "poetry of embarrassment" was refreshed as well as late surrealism. But these ways of seeing reality and writing about it were not thought to be more important than any way of spontaneous or even naive writing. 3] Stressing the authenticity in life (the alternative ways of living, e.g. in independent communities) When Posset speaks about life in independent communities, this is not very lucky or well chosen, because it may create associations with hippies and Western students' riots at the end of the 60s. The representatives of the Czech underground prefer speaking about living in a "merry ghetto". Both politically and culturally they lived in a kind of voluntary ghetto, they felt its absurdity but did not lose their sense of humour. In these aspects their culture was a typical product of kafkaesque and švejkian Prague cultural milieu. 4] Stressing authenticity in art (realism, colloquial language and slang, breaking social and cultural taboos) This does not need any commentary, but it may be useful to repeat again that these features were not absolutely obligatory [e.g. for the neodecadents]. Using colloquial language and slang was quite natural because the core of the underground writing in the 70s was produced by young workers who missed out on higher education and - with an exception of a few leading personalities - had absolutely no intellectual ambitions. Potential reading public of the underground literature consisted mainly of the members of the "merry ghetto". The underground authors were writing mostly about the "ghetto" and for the "ghetto". In some ways, it is one of Central European paradoxes that some "classical" titles of the underground literature slowly and surely become an integral part of national literature. 5] Disagreement with totalitarian structures This feature, listed by Posset, proved to be not quite correct. If the disagreement with totalitarian structures were an important distinctive feature of the Czech literary underground, we could expect that after November 1989 the Czech literary underground would have died. Nothing like that has happened. Nevertheless it is probable that the new followers of the artistic ideals of the underground have been using different terminology. Maybe the above mentioned features of the Czech underground will be gradually dissolved in rather general meanings of such fashionable words like "independent" or "alternative". Anyway it is evident that the time of the "merry ghetto" is a matter of the past. In my opinion the Czech underground faces two main possibilities of moving forward: the "London" alternative and the "Glasgow" alternative. A few solitary personalities will probably travel in the London way. In a crowded underground they will try to find their individual, "independent" artistic pilgrimage (e.g. like Jáchym Topol and J.H.Krchovský in recent years]. The others will choose the Glasgow underground and will be returning to the beginnings defined by the founders of the Czech literary underground of the early 50s and 70s. Both these possibilities could bring remarkable results. Maybe not so much to the "sacred" values of national literature, but definitely to the authors themselves and to a couple of their friends. Summary of the basic facts about the Czech literary underground: Definition [after Johanna Posset]: 1. Radical refusal of any kind of exerting pressure and committing violence 2. No necessity of having a fixed artistic programme 3. Stressing authenticity in life [alternative ways of living, the "merry ghetto"] 4. Stressing authenticity in art [realism, colloquial language and slang, breaking taboos] 5. Disagreement with totalitarian structures [critical attitudes to any establishment and its set of recommended values] Periodization and characteristics: 1. the late 40s and the early 50s Egon Bondy - "total realism": The reality is so absurd and full of contrasts that a plain description is the best way of expressing it. No metaphors are needed. poetry: Total Realism, Hammered Prague, Remnants of an Epic etc. Ivo Vodseďálek - "poetry of embarrassment": Fascination by fantastic irrationality of Stalinist newspeak. Trying to reach such irrationality in one's own poetry. poetry: Poetry of Embarrassment, Ukraine in Blossom, The Death of a Joke Vladimír Boudník - "explosionalism": Fascination by everyday objects and scenes from factories and proletarian Prague. Using them to express maximally abstract qualities of existence [esp. in experimental graphics]. diary: One Sixth Bohumil Hrabal:Followed the activities of his friends and was deeply influenced by them. Inspiration in Poldi Steelworks: his best poem - Beautiful Poldi, his first short story - The Steelworks Owner [Jarmilka] 2. the 70s rock groups: The Plastic People of the Universe [e.g. LP Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned] DG 307 texts similar to manifestos: Egon Bondy - The Disabled Siblings [novel] Ivan Martin Jirous - The Report about the 3rd Czech Musical Revival [essay] the greatest success in poetry: Ivan Martin Jirous - Magor's Swan Songs [combination of Christian poetry with "total realism" ] 3. the 80s and early 90s neodecadence: poetry of J.H.Krchovský - The Nights after the Which No Morning Comes spontaneous combination of various mythologies: Jáchym Topol - I am Crazy about You, The War Will Come on Tuesday [poetry], The Sister [novel], The Angel [novelette] Note: Up to now only a few shorter examples of the Czech literary underground have been translated to English.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0028.json.gz/line16

It is perhaps the quintessential live DMB song featuring all forms of intros, outros, interpolations, segueing, abridging, and extended jamming. Intros: Some Do/Some Don't - as sung by Dave. Pretty Pretty Girl - one of the more famous outros, it is used for Dave to introduce band members or sing interpolations during each measure. The song features an optional extended jam, noted as "truncated" when not present. A prelude was also occasionally used in early 1993. In 1996, Water into Wine (aka "Water/Wine Jam") originated a as segued outro.

Reggie White Jersey .com) - Manu Ginobili scored seven of his 12 points from the free throw line, including two in the closing seconds that proved to be the difference in the San Antonio Spurs 94-92 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. San Antonio continued its dominance over Atlanta, winning its 17th straight at home and 16th out of the last 17 overall against the Eastern Conference foe. Al Horford made a jumper at 1:16 of the fourth to give the Hawks a 90-88 lead. However, Ginobili made three free throws after he was fouled by Kyle Korver while shooting a 3-pointer to push San Antonio ahead by one. Following an empty possession from each team, Tim Duncan came up with a block on Korver with 24.9 seconds left. Duncan was then fouled off an inbounds pass, and split the pair at the line. Jeff Teague raced down the court and converted a running bank shot to tie the score at 92-92 with 13.6 seconds remaining. Ginobili brought the ball up court, drove the lane and kicked out to the corner, but he was fouled on the drive with 3.8 seconds showing and calmly hit both free throws to account for the final margin. Boris Diaw blocked Pero Antics last second heave from just inside halfcourt as the Spurs held on. We need to be sharper, execute better, and today we just didnt, said Ginobili. Duncan and Tony Parker each finished with 17 points, with the former grabbing 13 rebounds with six blocks, four assists and three steals. Kawhi Leonard and Diaw each scored 11 points in the win. DeMarre Carroll and Paul Millsap each tallied 17 points for the Hawks, while Horford netted 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Were going to make shots, said Millsap. Our main thing is getting out there and competing. We competed tonight. San Antonio raced out to a 27-15 lead after 12 minutes, then the margin swelled to a game-high 17 after Parker converted a three-point play and Diaw made a layup to begin the second quarter. Atlanta closed the frame on a 7-1 spurt to close within 49-39 at the half. The Hawks cut the deficit to six entering the fourth quarter and grabbed their only lead of the game when Horford capped a 9-2 run with over a minute left. Game Notes Atlanta last won in San Antonio on Feb. 15, 1997 ... The Spurs had 21 turnovers ... San Antonio went 27-for-38 from the foul line, while the Hawks converted 8-of-11 attempts ...

Describe your sound: I don't like to put my sound in a box for the most part because it can vary so much, but it's always on the basis of EDM. I take a lot of elements from anime so my sound is usually Future bass, City Pop, and Future Funk. Tell us about your latest track: My latest track is actually my first official release, so it means a lot to me. I named it City Groove 1989 because I incorporated a lot of elements from Japanese City Pop but also elements of modern day EDM. This track I just really wanted to have fun with and gave it a retro dance vibe which explains the 1989 in the title. Who inspires you?: My inspirations are definitely Moe Shop and Snail's House. I grew up listening to these guys and they're a big influence on the sound of my music today! Where do you see your career in 5 years?: In 5 years I see myself working with artists that I looked up to as a kid, as well as a great fan base that's supportive of what I do. I'd also love to do live shows regularly! Where can we check out your sounds?: You can check out my latest song here on most platforms!

Views Read Edit View history. Operation Gladio: The Hidden History of U.S. Sponsored False Flag Terrorism in Europe At the same time, the act of wearing lipstick heightens the pathological masculinity of the gang of hoodlums who will spend the next few scenes beating and raping random citizens. The table nude that sits in front of them is both erotic and fascinating. The placement of the table in front of them belays a level of sexual openness with sexual imagery that seems progressive. Yet the table presents an image of a naked, aroused, and passive nubile woman. Such an image expresses a male sexuality that desires submissive women who are de-individuated as much as possible. Looking at the sculpture of the nude woman, we can see very little of the expression on her face. We see only that she is aroused. However, it functions primarily as an atmospheric addition to the menacing quality of the image we see before us. The situation only gets worse as the dolly pulls back even further. We see that we are watching Alex and his fellow hoodlums in a nightclub. The sculptures of passive female nudes are both tables and dispensers of drinks laced with narcotics. The other clubbers sit passively in a state of drug induced stupor. Sculptures of naked women sit atop platforms with their hands tied behind their backs in chains and handcuffs. Sexuality is now being represented by images of naked, nubile women who are in a position of forced submissiveness. Both bouncers appear quite menacing and yet both are wearing one piece leotard outfits that make each appear like particularly athletic ballet dancers. Alex is now talking to the audience in voice over. He informs us, using his futuristic nadsat slang, that we are looking at a night club that goes by the name of the Kerova milk bar. Here we can see quite clearly that Alex is an emergent property of the society he inhabits. In his society, youthful gender bending and sexual freedom have become expressions of aggressive, anti-social behaviour. This is a society that eroticises male-on-female rape without much critical reflection. It is a society so pre-occupied with hedonistic pleasure that it seems to have become numb to pleasure. These conditions create a population that is largely oblivious to much of its own problems. One of the main problems is a youth sub-culture of male teenagers who seem to satisfy their desire for pleasure through the brutal domination of others. These social elements coalesce in the character of Alex, who is a metaphor for the society in which he lives. It would be very odd for a society such as the one depicted in A Clockwork Orange to not contain a person like Alex. He is a horny, violent and brutal psychopath who is simultaneously a charming and witty person who relishes in the aesthetic beauty of creative actions. In this way, Alex represents the danger of romanticising both social liberalism and aesthetic daring. When we romanticise such political values, we ignore how effectively they can manifest the uglier sides of humanity. The scene opens with a close up of the homeless man which then pulls back to a wide shot of Alex and his gang hovering over the man in giant, menacing silhouettes. As Alex recounts in his narration, their sole motivation for beating this man is the fact that he is filthy, drunk, and loud. Before they strike the man with chains, kicks, and clubs, they listen to him profess an indifference to his own death. His reasoning is that he does not want to live in a society that is itself indifferent to the crime and domestic squalor of which he is a victim. The homeless man believes he lives in a society that is more concerned with its thriving space program than with the oppression of the old by the young. Alex and his gang listen to the old man in amusement before mercilessly beating him. The droogs assaulting a drunken homeless man in noire-ish lighting. Here, we see that the social freedoms expressed in the Kerova milk bar do nothing to undermine the existence of extreme poverty on the street. The very social freedoms expressed in the Kerova milk bar deprive the rest of society from having the freedom to walk the street without fear of being brutally assaulted. The most vulnerable members of society wind up making the easiest targets for Alex and his gang. It is not only women but vulnerable people generally that have to worry about being the victims of teenage gangs. More interestingly, the old man the gang attacks describes youth itself as an oppressor class. He does not attribute the squalor and brutality of his society to rich businessmen or corrupt governments. He attributes it to the choices of the actual teens on the street attacking people like him. What this shows is a reluctance within the film to simplistically reduce poverty and violence to economic conditions. Poverty may make it harder to make good choices. This, again, is because of the moral choice theme within the film. With moral choice comes moral responsibility. Regardless of whether Alex and his droogs are poor or live in a society which encourages them to brutalise others, they still have the freedom to choose otherwise. Plenty of young people in analogous conditions presumably do not choose to beat and rape. Thus, Alex and his droogs need to be held responsible for acts of violence they can refrain from doing. Until he is arrested for murder, the society in A Clockwork Orange encourages Alex to evade this responsibility by focussing only on the possibilities of his creative actions. In the next scene, we see a derelict building with ornate greco-roman adornments surrounding an abandoned stage. The juxtaposition of this brutal rape with the greco-roman visuals and 19 th century orchestral music is ironic. However, it is not merely ironic. Alex and his gang disrupt the proceedings, emerging from dark silhouettes once again. With a slang infested series of insults directed at Billy Boy, Alex prompts the two gangs into a quick and violent confrontation. What is unusual about the way this confrontation plays out is that both gangs leap into action with what seems like an exhilarating burst of joy. For members of both gangs, the violence is joyous because it is a way in which the teenagers creatively express themselves. Thus, it is no accident that such expressions happen in environments cluttered with sounds and images of the creative arts. Such creative arts, in A Clockwork Orange, constitute a motivating influence for violent acts. For the youth of A Clockwork Orange, violence, like art, is a form of creative self-expression. Alex relishes beating a twitching Billy Boy on the ground with a large black club while letting out a joyous scream. Alex blows a loud whistle and signals for his fellow gang members to leave the derelict building before the police arrive. The film then cuts to a medium shot of Alex and his gang speeding a futuristic car down a dark country road. They scream and yell in fits of joy, purposefully driving into oncoming traffic. Alex narrates the proceedings as if he were narrating an exciting visit to an amusement park. The film is cinematically emphasizing the experiential qualities of violence for the perpetrator, rather than the victim. We see a man Mr. Alexander writing away on his type writer as the camera pans rightward so that we see the futuristic decor of the house. Alexander leaves her chair and book to see who the visitors are. Alexander is somewhat suspicious as Alex pleads with her to let him in so that he can use her telephone to ring an ambulance. Alexander opens the door and the now masked Alex, Pete, Georgie, and Dim joyfully proceed to beat, restrain, and gag Mr. And Mrs. Alex Singing in the Rain during the infamous rape scene. Mr Alexander watching Alex rape Mrs Alexander. Once it becomes apparent that Mr. Alexander are reduced to a state of helpless acceptance, Alex begins to put on a performance. Parodying the famous dance sequence in Singing in the Rain, Alex sings and dances his way through the house, kicking and knocking over desks, tables, and bookshelves. Restrained and gagged by Pete, George, and Dim, Mr. Alexander look on at the proceedings in shock. Here, Alex is not merely performing an in-home robbery. He is using the in-home robbery as a forum for another spontaneous creative act. Alex punctuates the dance with a blow to the face of Mrs. Alexander and several rhythmic kicks to the belly of her husband. Noticing that Mr. Alexander is now restrained on the floor looking up at his helplessly restrained wife, Alex decides to rape Mrs. Alexander in front of her husband. Alex keeps singing as he cuts off and removes Mrs. The camera cuts to a wide angled close up of Mr. Alexander, ball and gagged, watching in a frozen terror as Alex rips the clothes off his restrained wife. Alexander, undressing himself while singing and looking down at Mr. Alex has a grotesque, phallic-nosed face mask. Dim slings Mrs. Alexander over his shoulder and fondles her. Alexander is assaulted and kicked on the floor by Alex who ironically punctuates his rhythmic, soft-shoe kick-dance with the lyrics of "Singin' in the Rain. I'm singin' in the rain, Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.. I'm laughing at clouds, so dark up above.. The sun's in my heart, and I'm ready for love. Let the stormy clouds chase, Everyone from the place Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face. I'll walk down the lane, With a happy refrain And I'm singin', just singin' in the rain. Both victims were bound and gagged, with a rubber ball painfully inserted into their mouths and wrapped with long strips of Scotch tape around their heads. Alex overturns the writer's desk, typewriter, and bookshelves. Alexander is forced to helplessly watch the ugly disrobing and choreographed rape of his own wife. A grown-up 'child,' Alex begins by first attacking her breasts - he first snips off two circles of jumpsuit cloth around them to expose them. In the mode of 'Jack the Ripper', he then slits her entire suit off from her pant leg upward. After unzipping and pulling his own pants down prior to her rape, he mocks the husband: "Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well. After a long night of "energy expenditure," the group returns to the Korova Milkbar where they are seen sprawling against its black walls:. Alex voice-over : We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it having been an evening of some small energy expenditure, O my brothers. So we got rid of the auto and stopped off at the Korova for a nightcap. At a nearby table where "some sophistos from the TV studios" are "laughing and govoreeting," the woman in the group suddenly has a "burst of singing" with a short section of Schiller's Ode to Joy chorale movement from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. For Alex, it is a moment of pure ecstasy:. Alex voice-over : And it was like for a moment, O my brothers, some great bird had flown into the milkbar and I felt all the malenky little hairs on my plott standing endwise and the shivers crawling up like slow malenky lizards and then down again. Because I knew what she sang. It was a bit from the glorious Ninth, by Ludwig van. After Dim blows a raspberry at the singer, Alex smashes him across the legs with his cane for lack of respect "for being a bastard with no manners" for his favorite, beloved composer. The oafish Dim whines and whimpers and shows dissatisfaction and discontent with Alex's leadership: "I don't like you should do what you done. And I'm not your brother no more and wouldn't want to be Yarbles, great bolshy yarblockos to you. I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva any time. Not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. It stands to reason, I won't have it. He returns home to Municipal Flatblock 18a Linear North, where he lives with his "dadda and mum. The elevator door is broken and Alex must take the stairs. The wall inside his room is decorated with an erotic, spread-eagled female image on one side, and a poster of Beethoven on the other. He puts his loot from the evening into a drawer already filled with stolen watches and wallets. In a second drawer, he checks his pet python. As "the perfect ending" to the "wonderful evening," Alex switches on a cassette tape of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. While musically appreciating his favorite composer and classical piece, he lies back on his bed. His pet python phallically explores the exposed crotch area of the female figure on the wall. During the drugged reverie of listening to Beethoven in his combination-locked bedroom, Alex moans orgiastically: "Oh bliss, bliss and heaven. Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest spun heaven metal, or like silvery wine flowing in a space ship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied I knew such lovely pictures. The next morning, his financially hard-pressed, working-class parents Pee Philip Stone and Em Sheila Raynor are confused, apologetic, and apparently frightened by their son's devious behavior. Costumed in garish, mod outfits and drinking their morning coffee, they speak about him in the kitchenette of their ugly, knick-nack filled flat:. Pee father : I wonder, where exactly is it he goes to work of evenings? Em mother : Well, like he says, it's mostly odd things he does, helping like, here and there as it might be. Deltoid Aubrey Morris in the apartment he was given the key by Alex's mother on the way to work. A sexually-deviant adult, Deltoid is happy to have found the young boy before he has had a chance to get dressed. After having Alex sit on the bed next to him, he affectionately puts his arm around Alex's bare shoulders and speaks to him in the Nadsat lingo of youth:. Next time, it's going to be the barry place and all my work ruined. If you've no respect for your horrible self, you at least might have some for me who's sweated over you. A big black mark, I tell you, for every one we don't reclaim. A confession of failure for every one of you who ends up in the stripy hole. As the rapacious and monstrous Deltoid shamelessly paws at Alex, and even makes a forceful grab at Alex's crotch, he informs Alex that he suspects the boy's involvement in the "nastiness" of the previous evening and demands reform:. Deltoid: There was a bit of a nastiness last night, yes. Some very extreme nastiness, yes. A few of a certain Billyboy's friends were ambulanced off late, yes? Your name was mentioned, the word has got thru to me by the usual channels. Certain friends of yours were named also. Oh, nobody can prove anything about anybody as usual, but I'm warning you, little Alex, being a good friend to you as always, the one man in this sore and sick community who wants to save you from yourself. He forcefully grabs at Alex's crotch. Alex doubles over in pain, squirms away and rises. He drinks from a bedside glass of water, not noticing the pair of false-teeth floating within. What gets into you all? We study the problem. We've been studying it for damn well near a century, yes, but we get no further with our studies. You've got a good home here, good loving parents, you've got not too bad of a brain. Is it some devil that crawls inside of you? In a letter dated 11 February , the Ministry of Defence said that Wallace's job description contained "sensitive information relating to the security and intelligence matters" and that the provision of such papers, even under the conditions relating to the Committee's access to classified information, "would be inconsistent with the conventions". Evidence from Wallace was used by the Barron Report, an Irish government inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. They also believe some very senior RUC officers were involved with this group. In a further letter dated 30 September , Wallace revealed that MI5 was trying to create a split in the UVF in order to foment violence:. I believe much of the violence generated during the latter part of last year was caused by some of the new Int people deliberately stirring up the conflict. Yet they have killed more people than the IRA! To this day, Wallace remains something of an enigma. Former members of the Special Forces admit that Wallace worked with them as far afield as Berlin and the Oman during the Cold War , but the Intelligence Services still try to distance themselves from what Wallace was doing. Wallace's role in Ireland is clearly still a very sensitive matter. He had been part of the Army team preparing for the Widgery Tribunal into the Bloody Sunday killings of protestors in Derry , and in , he testified at the Saville Inquiry into the events [5]. One of Wallace's close friends in the Army described him as follows: "I played golf with the General. That was an accident. Colin was needed by the General. Everyone needed him. They just could not do without him. Lieutenant Colonel Tony Yarnold who worked with Wallace in Ireland said: "Let's face it, Colin was the lynchpin of the whole operation.

Zel turned to look at the younger guy with violet hair. He had a very peeved expression. "You sure you don't have any idea where Lina switched her job to?" Xel shooked his head as patiently as he could. "Nope. I really don't know." Xel leaned back in the chair he was sitting in and sighed. "Beside, why are you so worked up over her? You like her or something?" Xel smirked at the blush forming on Zel's face. "I do not like her!" Zel growled and then looked up at Xel with a sly look. "Look who's talking!" Xel blushed. "Um...um...where'd you get that idea!?" "Chamna (1). It's obvious you know!" Zel ruffled Xel's hair. "Really?" Xel sighed. "I was hoping that it wasn't that obvious." "You're talking to the art genius here. I notice those kind of thing pretty well." Xel stared at Zel. Eh? He notices those stuff well? Then how come he didn't notice that Lina had some feelings for him. Xel turned his head away from Zel bitterly. Zel glanced at his watch and groan. "Well I got to run now. Amelia wants to meet me at a restaurant to have dinner. If you find Lina, call me immediately ok?" Zel waved and left. "Well buddy, have fun with that vivacious girl of yours." Xel smirked and sighed. Lina...where did you go? You even left home and got your own apartment somewhere that even your family don't know. Please come back soon... "Good evening Zel oppa," Amelia greeted with a smile. Zel just gave her a wary look. "Yeah. Good evening to you too." "Any luck with Lina?" Zel looked up suddenly. "How'd you know about that?" "Filia told me." Amelia said calmly. That sister of mine... "I see." Zel said coldly. "I met Lina the other day. She called me up and ask if we could have a cup of coffee." Zel looked up with a surprise look. "Really? What did she say?" "She wanted me to give you a message," Amelia smiled evilly to herself. "She told me this: 'I want you to please tell Zel that I wished that he wouldn't hang around with me anymore. I want him to just leave me alone for the rest of my life.' That was what she wanted me to tell you." Zel just looked as if he was just slapped. Lina told Amelia that? No...no way...it can't be! Lina isn't that cruel or heartless. No...I refuse to believe that! "How do I know that you are telling the truth?" Zel growled. Amelia put on her most innocent look. "I do not lie about this kind of stuff Oppa. I do not. I swear to God, that this is the truth." Zel just slumped down in his chair. She can't be lying. She is the lover of justice. She wouldn't lie to me. She considers that injustice right? So she's telling the truth... "So Oppa. Shall we start planning for the wedding?" Amelia asked. Zel gave her a look that was unreadable. She just dumped me like I was nothing huh? She didn't have the guts to just tell me in the face huh? Well guess what Lina. I am not gonna be taken as a fool. I will marry Amelia and forget all about you too. "Yes. Let's plan the wedding." 6 months later. In June... Lina looked up from the flour she was pounding. She was in a restaurant where they sell noodles and all kind of food. She was in Itaewon (2), a place she knew that her friends who are more of Kang Nam (3) people wouldn't come down here. That last six month for her was hell. Oh the money and the food were good, but without Zel, things were miserable. Lina looked at the phone near her. Maybe I should just give him one call? Lina sighed and went back to work. 1: Equivalent to like "Good grief" in Korean. 2: Itaewon is a place in Seoul that is a marketplace. 3: A section in Seoul, where most rich people live in.

__label__wiki	0.709237	0.709237	Game of Thrones Season 6 shooting has started with some dead characters Game of Thrones season 5 ended on a shocking note with many main characters being killed but that's how the series has been from the start. Important characters have been killed before and the trend continues even now. However, filming for Game of Thrones season 6 has started and now we feel that some of the characters might not be dead. After all it's Game of Thrones and anything can happen. Yesterday we talked about how Jon Snow might be alive and now we have a reason to believe that another character is alive. Isaac.H.Wright, who plays the role of Bran Stark posted a pic on twitter with Dean-Charles Chapman and Nell Tiger Free who play the role of Tommen and Myrcella Baratheon. my besties @Dean_C_Chapman @nelltigerfree (aren't they so cute?) pic.twitter.com/TNRX2kvMCq — Isaac.H.Wright (@IsaacBranFlakes) July 13, 2015 Now we were made to believe that Myrcella died after receiving the kiss of death from Ellaria Sand but if she's in Belfast for shooting, then it's possible that she survives. Of course it's possible that she can make an appearance as a dead corpse but there have been some theories which suggest that Tyene Sand might have a role in saving Myrcella but all these are just theories an we can't be sure till the next season starts. Anthony July 19, 2015 at 1:31 AM It could also be they're filming Myrcella's funeral. Just like we could see Tywin in the beginning of season 5 after he died the season before.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0028.json.gz/line50

__label__wiki	0.782929	0.782929	Neo League 0143 - NL#0146: Tairyu vs Jezebel Description: The Yakuza Operative Katashi Tairyu faces off against the advertising might of Lightning Spangles in a Neo-League showdown! (Winner: Tairyu) [JEZEBEL] Lightning Spangles loved the theater! The mousy brown-haired, blue-eyed real Tae Kwon Do Showup Hoedown star was out on the stage. She was dressed in her real American outfit. Her bottom begins a pair of soft leather boots. From there comes the blue jeans, tight around the waist and hips, but flared out towards the ankles. Over these, she wears a white chaps, studded and sequined with lighting patterns. Around her waist there are two belts; one is for her jeans, bearing a wide silver belt buckle of a bull's head. The other is a tan leather gun belt, bearing a pair of fake pop-gun revolvers for show. Her top is a stunning half-vest of a red wool and polyester. Not only is it sequined with studs and rhinestones in a lightning motif, it is also frilled at the edges, and flared with a white trim. Covering the upper portion of her torso, it is tied together underneath her chest, highlighting it. Underneath that vest is a blue blouse, peppered with white metallic stars, providing the 'star spangle.' Upon her head is a white, wide-brimmed cowboy hat. And on her face? A big, broad smile. "Boy howdy, those Japanese folks can really put together a real stage show!" She says with her rich texan drawl. Stomping the heel of her boot on the stage. "I heard there do all kinds of crazy stuff with their makeup. Course, I don't think they'll be doing that for this here Neo League!" She chirps brightly, turning around to the man dressed up as an anthropomorphic armadillo that was similarly garbed in a bandanna. The dilloman plays a few notes on his fiddle in response. Lightnin Spangles slaps her knee, laughing. "Well, we are gonna put on a show as well, pardner! We just gotta wait for our opponent to show up! Now where the heck is that there Tie-roo coming in at?" She sticks her fingers in her mouth, and gives a high pitched whistle as the audience fills into the seats. "Tie-roo? Y'all seen Tie-roo?" [TAIRYU] It's strange. The only reason Tairyu was even on the board in the League in the first place was because someone with Syndicate associations wanted to get a good fight for someone much more famous. To boost ratings, gain tractions and what have you not. The only arena fights the would-be-hair of a certain Yakuza family has ever been before have been the types that weren't advertised to the public, afterall. And yet, there he is now. Right on cue with the whistle. Thus, from the hall that leads up to the stage in the theatre proper, steps up... well, a sight that might be considered irregular for this kind of place in most other cases. Most folks don't come into a fight dressed up in a black suit and a red dress shirt (even if the top three buttons of it are left opened) like Tairyu does, afterall. But... apparently the japanese man himself finds the sight of his opponent before him much more bizarre. "...Eh." With one hand still stuck ni his pocket, he stops halfway through the stage, to give a long, bemused stare at the cowboy-dressed woman and the... fiddle-playing man in an armadillo costume. A long, silent stare, brought on out further with a slightly gaping mouth and brows furrowed down. "...Seriously...?" "There you are Tie-Roo!" Lightning Spangles says brightly, yelling loudly in the theater as the gangster strides out on the stage. Chest puffed out, she looks at him with big blue eyes, bouncing her hips side to side for a moment as she lets him stay dumbstruck at the display."I'm your opponent right here for this here Neo-League match! Boy howdy, aren't you a tough lookin character! I'm not racist or anything, but I would sure be scared to meet you if I came into a dark alleyway!" She salutes a man in the audience, a well-dressed figure who was facepalming desperately. She turns back to Tairyu. "But I'm sorry don't think we've had formal introductions!" She blinks quickly, as she strikes a pose, hand on her hip. "I'm Lightning Spangles, the High-Kicking All-American Hero! I'm here with my animal friend, the Hoedown Dillo!" She recites as the Hoedown Dillo fiddles a little bit, energy pouring out of her chest metaphorically. She salutes Tairyu, as one would salute a flag. "Can I get a yee haw?!" The Yakuza's left staring, dumbstruck, for a moment longer before he lets out a low sigh. "...I suppose everyone has their own way of doing things." Having said that, he takes a few more steps towards her, and the hand that had stayed in a pocket finally withdraws itself, to grasp at the shoulder of his jacket. In one, sweeping pull, that same hand is drawn to the side, and inexplicably, the jacket has come along right with him, flowing theatrically in the air as it leaves the red shirt behind before getting tossed aside. "Tairyu Katashi," the man declares afterwards, in his own returning of the introductions, in the japanese manner of naming oneself - regardless of wether or not Spangles might actually realize he's giving the surname first - followed by a lean into a formal, japanese-style bow directed towards her for a few seconds. "Pleased to make your acquintance. And..." With a snapping motion, he straightens up from the bow, and his feet shift slightly along the floor during the same movement -- knees bending slightly to prepare for sudden movement, and one fist rising up nearly parallel to his chin while the other is held down, knuckles pointed diagonally down towards it's opposing foot. "May you fight well." Lightning Spangles seemed unaware of how stunned she was making the gangster. That quickly changes when he begins to take off his jacket. When he introduces himself, she actually laughs. "Daw, you are making me blush!" She says, her freckled face going flush. "Gosh, you are sweeter than honey on the bee's behind!" She adds, after Tairyu makes the bow. Wiping her cheek, she looks at the dillo, and the audience. "Now folks, what he's doing is considered polite in Japanese culture! The Japanese people have their own special ways of manners, that's different from yours and mines!" The Japanese audience stares blankly at Lightning Spangles. "Now if I was Japanese, I would bow right back, but I am not, because I am American! But I will definately tell him right back, that I sure hope you fight well too pardner." She claps her hands twice, and then eases into her own stance; legs straddled apart, hands up into fists as guards. A standard Tae Kwon Do stance, bouncing on her heels as she readies her kicks. And the bell rings. "Okay! Here I come pardner!" She cries out, as she bolts in at Tairyu. No hesitation. Pure martial spirit. Dashing in, she swings her long bejeaned leg into a driving straight kick, the woman moving almost recklessly as she throws herself at Tairyu. She was moving stiff though, clumsy. Almost unfamiliar with her own style. But no less powerful, as she already tries to bring her other leg around. Preparing for the next attack. COMBATSYS: Jezebel has started a fight here. Jezebel 0/-------/-------\| COMBATSYS: Tairyu has joined the fight here. Jezebel 0/-------/-------\|-------\-------\0 Tairyu COMBATSYS: Tairyu blocks Jezebel's Broken Arrow. ". . . You know you are in japan, right, Spangles-san?" Tairyu mutters, even while he's still holding himself in the readied stance. But whatever dubiousity he has left over, doesn't really matter just then and there. For the bell rings, and his opponent has come in to close the distance! "!!" The American's kick is met with Tairyu turning his side to facing her, first, as his arm turns to set itself into the way -- taking the heel of her foot right into his forearm instead while he leans his weight back subtly to further lessen the force of the impact to himself. "Hh-!" Despite the pain to his intercepting arm, the Yakuza still takes it in stride, and he's already leaning around the leg that made the initial kick while it was going down, keeping himself on the opposing side of her while she's turning he ther leg to follow up-- and driving a fierce uppercut towards her from there, with the full intention to drive her off of her remaining foot while the other one is coming up! COMBATSYS: Tairyu successfully hits Jezebel with Rise And Fall. [ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////////// ] Jezebel 0/-------/----===\|==-----\-------\0 Tairyu With Tairyu's fist colliding into the side of Lightning Spangles where her foot was already off the ground, he manages to send her balance off, and sending her knocking over if not outright up into the air from that remaining foot. But he doesn't stop there. With his right fist left up in the air after the uppercut, his left winds itself up down low on his other side-- and with a forward step of his left hand, he turns and carries himself after the flying opponent, arcing his left fist high up with it, first, before crescending right down upon her again, smacking into her while she's still in mid-air to send her down to the floor! "When you think about it, every place is like America!" That's Lightning Spangles' response as she slams in the kick. It's caught cleanly in the forearm. As she brings the other leg around, she suddenly finds the counter-attack already coming in. She quails, bringing her guard in as she tries to abort the follow up kick. It doesn't work, and she takes the uppercut cleanly. Punched, it's childs play to forc eher off-balanced, and she is sent tumbling. Intercepted out of the air with a quick punch, she is spiked right into the stage to the cheering of fans. She is stunned, battered, and dazed. "Wow!" She exclaimed. "You really battered me good! But when Ithink of battering, I think of how I can go and digest bread!" And suddenly, the Dillo is holding a loaf of bread. Stepping just on the side of the stage, the Dilloman presents the loaf as Lightning Spangles rises up. The actress flashes a thumbs up, face swollen, bruises already on her cheek. "That's why I use Spangles Choice Bread Like Substitutes. Now in easy to clean plastic containers, when I batter my fruit and vegetables, I know I am digesting my bread, and have that savoury after-taste that you know only comes with Spangles Choice. Spangles Choice! Now With Extra Gluten!" And while the advertising sinks in, the actress jumps into the air, letting out a slow, heavy aerial roundhouse as she attempts to send the gangster spiking down to the stage as well. All with a smile burned on her bruised face. COMBATSYS: Tairyu counters Strong Kick from Jezebel with Dragon's Tail ES. CSYS: This exciting moment brought to you by Spangles Choice Bread Like Substitutes - "Now With Extra Gluten"!! [ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////////// ] Jezebel 1/-------/=======\|====---\-------\0 Tairyu Tairyu doesn't follow up once Spangles is down on the floor-- instead sliding his feet back right after to grow the distance between the two of them so. Too many people in his past have come up for a counter right after being sent down to the ground, afterall! Further, some sense of honor in him demands to wait for her to get up on her feet before he does anything else, too. But then... the bread. "...What?" Probaly much like the audience, he's left staring, utterly stunned at what turns out to be a mid-fight commercial. "... Oi... What do you think all these people came here to watch?" He rumbles out along his throat with a shake of his head before she finally moves in for an attack! The baffled expression on his face disappears just as quickly, and he... actually steps towards the incoming roundhouse? Sort of. In the same motion, he moves towards the outer side of her, and his own hand comes up to slap against the incoming leg. Just a subtle nudge is enough to send it careening further forward, and past his swaying head. His advnace doesn't stop there, however. With his hand still pressing into the swinging leg, he takes another step to carry himself around Spangles while he, himself, spins around-- and guides the elbow of his other arm to slamming right into the center of the woman's back, forcing her to stumbling on forward again while his spin completes and brings him facing her from behind, this time around. "The purity of the fight shouldn't be ruined by product placement, don't you know?" How could it be ruined when it was so good. Lightning Spangles had opinions on what they had come to watch, but those opinions were currently getting snatched out of the air. The woman suddenly finds herself taking a heavy elbow to her back, knocking her flailing and flying straight across the stage in a dramatic tumble. Too dramatic, in fact: she was definately overselling the fall, using it to help her roll with the impact. Staggering back up, hand on her aching spine, her voice rises up. "Everyone loves fighting! And tasteful, non-invasive advertising is an acceptable way for businesses to fund such high quality fights. That's the purity of fighting!" She turns around, and there is now something in her hand, between her thumb and her index finger. "And when I think of purity, I think of what I need to do, to keep my oil clean, filtered, and pure!" "And what better way to take care of your oil than with Spangles Choice Purity Rings!" It's not clear, but it looks a little bit like a latex ring with something in the middle to cover. "By using the specialized device to cover your oil, you keep your oil ready for that special moment when you are ready for it to come out!" As if to help communicate the visual, she breaks out a banana, and rolls the purity ring out over the banana. Bringing it up, she shows out the seal work. "See! All the purity is purely pure now! It works on essential oils, as well as edible oils!" She then pumps a fist out as she whips the purity ring off. She then peels the banana, and takes a bite, sticking it deep down her throat, before she swallow hard. "MMMM! It's sooo good! Yee haw!" Lightning Spangles begins to flash with red, white, and blue energy, the sheer advertising power filling her up to the brim. Bracing herself, she gives a thumbs up to the audience, and then Tairyu. "Spangles Choice Purity Rings! Now in Standard -AND- Extra Virgin!" COMBATSYS: Jezebel burns with the darkness of her sins. [ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////////// ] Jezebel 1/---====/=======\|====---\-------\0 Tairyu Oh dear god. Now it's Tairyu's turn to facepalm, as it turns out, while Spangles is doing a second commercial now. And... the thing... with the banana. "There is nothing pure about that..." He mutters against his palm. But the pure capitalistic commercialism on display that causes the woman to outright glow out makes him flinch with surprise, and briefly use that facepalming hand to shield his eyes. Until his bright-green eyes focus on her again anyway. "--I see what you're doing!" He growls then, and rather thn waiting any further, he goes running right towards her. "You trickster!!" A leap up halfway there, and a leg raised up with it carries the heel of his foot right towards the walking advertisement's head! COMBATSYS: Jezebel blocks Tairyu's Diving Kick. CSYS: This exciting moment brought to you by Spangles Choice Purity Rings - "Now In Standard And Extra Virgin"!! [ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > /////////////////////////// ] Jezebel 1/=======/=======\|====---\-------\0 Tairyu Suddenly, she begins to shiver. It begins as the gangster takes to the air. Lightning Spangles feels a cold knife in her heart. Frost comes over Lightning Spangles, as the banana suddenly goes cold. The fire of pure American light chills, as rime begins to cast in the air around her. Lightning Spangles smiles, but she was getting nervous. She didn't like this. She braces herself, as she squeezes out the banana. Tairyu was bringing the kick right for her head, right for the back of it. But her smile does not fade. She slams her arms brutally into the kick, the first limb taking the worst of it, guiding it to the second. She was turning, twisting. And pushing, shoving him away. She didn't do punches. But that just let her arms do most of the defense. "I... wasn't ready to pitch ice cream this time!" She admits, as her arm burns in pain. But her legs were okay. Her legs were -strong-. Covered in the rime, she suddenly explodes back at Tairyu the moment he would hit the ground. And she would begin the kicking assault. A straight kick, a low kick, a round house. The chain of kicks would be relentless and hard. Another round house, another round house. She would swing around for a back kick, each kick bringing an aura of ice on impact, frozen fireworks bursting in red, white, and blue, before collapsing into icicles on the floor. Until finally, she would finish with her own heel drop. The rime would cling to her. Her breath would feel so cold. But the smile was still there. No more fear. No more insecurity.

It's fortunate that Tairyu sees the immediate counter-assault coming, at least. ANd his arms are coming up in preperation to brace himself evne before his feet have fully hit the floor. THe first furious kick she sends in comes mere inches before he actually lands properly, and even with his held-up arms intercepting it, the force of it sends him back, and sliding a a few feet when his feet do hit the floor. But she keeps coming. Likely chasing after him, pushing him back with every kick that he just barely manages to hold off with a well-timed block and parry. It's so rapid and fierce still, that he can feel the bruises building up in his arms, and in his shoulders when feet manage to slip past his defense. He manages to maintain his guard, however. ALl the way until he has to reach his arms up to catch the dropping heel. "That's better!" He growls in spite of it all, and with his arms still braced against that upraised leg, he sends his own leg swinging up and towards her midsection in a straight kick-- also conveniently meant to help grow the spacing between the two of them again, if only momentarily.

[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////// ] Jezebel 0/-------/=======\|======-\-------\0 Tairyu Don't lose your rhythm. Every kick, every attack, was honing something inside Lightning Spangles. The frosty energy burned inside her. It was all strange to her, as it should be. She was only Lightning Spangles. She was the only Lightning Spangles that was only Lightning Spangles. But not really. But it should be. Under that smile there was nothing, because it was made that way. She was made that way. She doesn't lose her momentum, when the heel drop comes. As he catches the heel, she is rebuffed. She was already turning, ready to meet his kick. His straight kick bursts out, and hits that layer of rime. Her follow up kick surges up and around. But doesn't meet him in time. Tairyu earns his spacing, as Lightning Spangles is launched across the stage into a tumble. She was staggering, she was slow. But she rises up just the same. The same smile on her face. "Better?" She says brightly. "That's great! You really are awesome, Tairyu!" She was able to pronounce his name right now, because he said it out loud. She listened. Lightning Spangles always listens when she needs to listen. Standing up steady, she turns around. There was a glimmer, a flicker of horror. Not from her face, no. But because of the smile, specifically. And the eyes, the pretty blue eyes. They were casting to the Hoedown Dillo. Who was already preparing the next advertising prop. Tairyu slides back briefly after his foot lands into Spangles' midsection-- only for him to spring right back to lunge towards her all over again, since she's left jostled. "Don't stop to think about some advertisement again, woman!" He calls to her in insistence, right as his hands go to grab onto her arms-- leveraging his own weight against hers to guide her to be slammed against the nearest wall in a violent motion. "Focus on just your opponent! Give me what you've got!" And the instant she'd get slammed against the wall, his knee would come up to slam against her midsection as well before he retreats again.

[ \\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////// ] Jezebel 1/-----==/=======\|=======\-------\0 Tairyu "Oh, I don't have to think about them!" Lightning Spangles says sincerely, as she struggles to bring up the guard. The Hoedown Dillo was moving. Everything was moving. It was too late for Tairyu. There was no escape. Lightning Spangles struggles to bring her guard back together. For all her purposes, she was taking hits better than even hardcore street toughs. As she hits the wall behind the stage with a gasp and a sickening snap, she groans as she falls to the ground. Slumping down, she rises up into a stand, body in true agony. "Because I know in my heart, what the people of the world, and Japan, need to know!" She suddenly salutes, hand to her brow. As 'America The Beautiful' swells in canned orchestra glory. "With the future uncertain, Southtown needs a leader it can count on." She begins, as behind her, a banner unfurls. It was the logo for the Kawamoto Campaign, in full display. Once again, Lightning Spangles begins to flash with red, white, and blue energy cascading around her. "Honoka Kawamoto is the Spangles Choice of Mayor for Southtown, and that woman! When you think about a bright beacon over the Rising Sun, think Honoka Kawamoto!" The cowgirl breaks the salute, as she leaps high into the air. Spiralling, she dives at Tairyu, attempting to blow right through him like a drill, as waves of red, white, and blue energy flows over her. All while she cries out. "She won't Red, White, and Blow It!" COMBATSYS: Tairyu counters Where Eagles Dare from Jezebel with Tiger Drop ES. [ \\\\ < > ///////////////////////// ] Jezebel 1/-======/=======\|=------\-------\0 Tairyu "Eeeeh..." Still with the advertisements. Non-intrusive my ass. Though... At least there's the subtlest of upward tugs in one corner of Tairyu's mouth now. "I still think you shouldn't be treating this like some over-sponsored syndicated tv show. But..." Seeing Lightning Spangles glowing with energy this time around, Tairyu doesn't even make an effort to prepare to avoid the attack he's sure is about to come. He merely holds his left arm up, as if ready for bracing, while the right is wound back, with the knuckles pointed down towards the floor, like a karateka prepared to make a punch that spins his fist around 180 degrees to build up more force. "That might well be right. I might not be fully convinced you're genuine, but all those feelings, all that energy..." She launches for him, and he still doesn't move. Bright-glowing energy seeming to envelop his body... "I'll receive you." There is a myth, in a small part of Southtown. Of a Yakuza Patriarch who fashioned his self-taught fighting style as that of a dragon. And in buddhist symbology, a depicted in a ying-yang esque positioning with a tiger, locked in endless battle of forces constantly cancelling themselves out. And so, the legend goes, this old Yakuza who associated himself with dragons, developed a punch that would drop even a tiger. And in that moment in the fight between Tairyu and Lightning Spangles, what followed happened in an instant so quick it was barely perceptible with the naked human eye. Tairyu's right knee dropped down, suddenly, to lean his weight subtly towards his left, bending leg while his posture lowered down in a quick, blurry motion. An unorthodox maneuver for certain, it still served to help him carry momentum from every part, every joint of his body as he met the spinning projectile that was Lightning Spangles herself, launching that his right fist with explosive force. And when that fist collided with the Spangles, in the middle of her assault, a loud sound resounded through the theatre, as if though the sound barrier was broken. It was the only way Lightning Spangles could do things. There were people who had other senses, other motives than advertising. But Lightning Spangles existed to sell things. So she did. So she would. As she launches at Tairyu, descending with full force... he was receiving her. He takes her, catches her, and then, there is a flash. There is an impact, as she is suddenly struck with the crack of a sonic boo- I feel the helmet over my eyes. Hot wires begin to stir in me, the astral worms coiling, their fangs slicing slits in my membranes as they burrow in deeper and deeper. And I still see the masked man. I try to tell him. I try to beg him. I tell him I will forget. But his mouth opens, as he is over me, around me. "Do not worry" He says. "It will all be over in a minute." And I open my mouth to explain. I open my mouth to tell him as they burrow to my soul. "The cats-" The masked figure touches me on my thigh. "It's all right. You will enjoy your new life. You won't have to worry about your secrets in your head anymore." And the lightning flows through me, as my senses are destroyed forever within the sands of time. Lightning Spangles is on the ground. She was launched right back, hitting the banner, bringing it down. It was all around her. She wasn't supposed to be getting up. But after a moment, after a long delay, after a call was made, Lightning Spangles stands up again, a smile burned on her face. Her steps are heavy, staggered. Stomp. Stomp. It was the warning, as she strides on her boots. But they are faster, accelerating. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Faster and faster. Fast. She was moving right to Tairyu, upon him. She winds back her leg. And she brings her foot aimed right between Tairyu's legs in a punt. COMBATSYS: Jezebel can no longer fight.

And Lightning Spangles collapses backwards, unconscious. Smile still burned on her lips With Spangles knocked back away from her own attack by the explosive punch, Tairyu smooths himself back to standing upright, with a heavy breath let out. Body still tensed and taut, he watches her there on the floor for a good moment -- until the call is made. He relaxes then, and allows himself to drop his guard, and-- Wait, why is she up on her feet now? Wasn't she just-- "Ghaaagh-!!" The hit might not be one born of extravagant or precise technique, but it still sends a sharp jolt through Tairyu, all the way up his spine, and even makes him double over and while his legs shake involuntarily from the impact to the most important part of a man's body. Down to one knee he goes, but he manages to gather enough sense into himself to stop a further bucking with a palm smacked down against the floor to help support himself upright. Eyes staring up at her while she makes one final pitch... And falls over. "...Oh good grief..." Mutters Tairyu, with a quiet cough of pain let out. A few more seconds pass before he fully composes himself again, and thus brings himself standing up-- with a fist raised up towards the skies in sign of victory.

The New Act merges modern business corporations laws with special considerations for the charity and non-profit sector. Overall, the New Act takes a common-sense approach to bringing BC’s societies laws into the new millennium. The New Act simplifies a number of issues, grants more dispute resolution mechanisms, provides additional protections to members and directors. The New Act also removes unalterable provisions, introduces financial reporting for publicly funded societies, eliminates weighted voting and makes a number of changes, most of which we aim to document on Societiesact.ca in our posts, pages, and other resources.

__label__cc	0.705259	0.294741	INTRODUCTION IN INDONESIAN SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES RESEARCH ARTICLES: HOW INDONESIAN WRITERS JUSTIFY THEIR RESEARCH PROJECTS Safnil Arsyad The introductory part of a research article (RA) is very important because in this section writers must argue about the importance of their research topic and project so that they can attract their readers’ attention to read the whole article. This study analyzes RA introductions written by Indonesian writers in social sciences and humanities journals. It focuses on how they justify their research topics and research projects. A corpus of 200 research articles written in Indonesian by Indonesian writers and published in Indonesian research journals was analyzed in this study. Following the problem justifying project (PJP) model suggested by Arsyad (2001), the analyses were conducted by using the genre-based analysis of text communicative purpose of ‘move’ and ‘step’. The result of this study indicates that Indonesian writers justify their research project by introducing the actual research topic, identifying the research problem, and reviewing the current knowledge and practices. introduction, research article, rhetorical style Adnan, Zifirdaus. 2009. “Some Potential Problems for Research Articles Written by Indonesian Academics When Submitted to International English Language Journals.” Asian EFL Journal Quarterly 11 (1): 107-125.

__label__wiki	0.805235	0.805235	‘The People Downstairs’ is a smart new take on Anne Frank’s story December 7, 2021 By Hap Erstein Leave a Comment Amy Miller Brennan as Miep, Bruce Linser as Henk, and Michael McKeever as Mr. Visser, in The People Downstairs. (Photos by Alicia Donelan Photography) One of the great works of literature of the 20th century is The Diary of Anne Frank, a saga of courage and endurance in the form of a journal by a 14-year-old Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis with her family and others in a cramped Amsterdam attic. But what about those non-Jews in the office below who heroically risked their lives abetting these stowaways? That is the story of The People Downstairs, Michael McKeever’s fictional history lesson commissioned by Palm Beach Dramaworks, where it can be seen in an involving world premiere production through Dec. 19. An intriguing idea, imaginatively rendered by South Florida’s most accomplished playwright, with further editing it could have a substantial life beyond here. In that office of a kitchen goods export company are a handful of workers, all staunchly dedicated to keeping the Franks alive and in seclusion. All, that is, except a toadying underling named Visser (played with relish by McKeever) who would willingly turn in the secreted family if it meant saving his own hide. Narrating the play and frequently stepping downstage to address the audience is Miep Gies (Amy Miller Brennan), a secretary who flinches every time the telephone rings and who brews a dreadful tasting drink of crushed acorns and molasses when there is no more coffee in all of Amsterdam. She will survive the war, entrusted with Anne’s diary, and will write her own account of events which became McKeever’s prime research source. The first act of The People Downstairs is largely premise and preface, setting the scene and establishing the deadly stakes. As the – largely unseen – Nazis begin occupying Amsterdam, they scour the city and round up Jews to be slaughtered. The play comes alive in the second act, which covers the Franks’ second year of seclusion, as tensions increase, resources dwindle, loyalties are strained and the inevitability of being found out stares everyone in the face. The inevitable does happen – a spoiler only to those few audience members unfamiliar with Anne Frank’s diary – followed by a series of endings which mars the play’s ultimate impact. McKeever would do well to choose one and delete the rest. Still, The People Downstairs is a remarkable new play, covering well-known territory with a novel angle. Credit director William Hayes with the initial idea, with shepherding the script’s development through a two-year process and with staging the work artfully, avoiding its potential to feel static. In a cast composed largely of Dramaworks regulars, Tom Wahl and Dennis Creaghan anchor the production as the office managers, while McKeever is a standout in a role he custom made for himself. But keep your eye on Brennan as Miep, an underplayed performance which is never less than compelling. As Dramaworks’ return to live production, The People Downstairs is a reminder of why it is one of the prime companies in the region. And why McKeever has matured into a must-see writer regardless of the subjects he tackles. THE PEOPLE DOWNSTAIRS. Palm Beach Dramaworks, 201 Clematis St., West Palm Beach.

But action on fixes to the underlying issues that brought the protesters out — unequal treatment by police — will take a while, if it comes at all. The two issues — whether the president was right to use uniformed security forces to move seemingly peaceful protesters from Lafayette Park and how to remedy disparate police treatment — were interwoven on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. Republicans continued to decry widespread property damage and looting that occurred in several major cities for another night, but shied away from criticizing Trump, who has taken to shows of strength that critics say inflame the situation further. Democrats have emphasized the need for changes in the legal system to deal with problems reflected by the choking death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, which sparked the unrest.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat and Purple Heart recipient, called Trump “a draft-dodging wannabe tinpot dictator.” “If Donald Trump wants to gas someone next time, start right here. If he wants to shoot somebody with our federal officials with rubber bullets, start right here,” said Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who ran to replace Trump. “If he wants to trample them with horses while they peacefully assemble, come to this body because what he did to those Americans in that square yesterday, he did to all of us.” Related News: Oil agreement could support stocks, providing a floor Democrats offered a “sense of Congress” resolution condemning Trump’s actions, but it failed to get the unanimous consent it would have required to pass when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell objected because he said it insufficiently condemned rioting. In the House, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said the incident merited a more serious measure — formal censure — but House Democrats had not discussed the idea. “It is certainly an action worthy and appropriate to censure and criticize. It was a terrible act,” the Maryland Democrat told reporters on a weekly conference call with reporters. “And it was an act that indicated the total lack of understanding and empathy with the anger and frustration and cry for justice that was being put out, simply to facilitate a photo op obviously designed for political purposes.” Hoyer said he hope House committees, including possibly the Judiciary, Homeland Security and Government Oversight panels, take a look at the incident and the role Trump played. One committee chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson of the Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to the director of the Secret Service asking for a briefing by Friday on the incident While the House is out of session until late June, the Senate has come back to Washington after a weeklong Memorial Day break. Republican senators mostly told reporters they had little to say about the incident or defended the decision to clear the park. “I’m not going to critique other people’s performances,” McConnell said after a weekly party lunch. Asked if clearing the park was a good idea, Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, said, “A lot of this is going to be in the eye of the beholder.” See: ‘Baffling and reprehensible’: Washington Archbishop Gregory lashes out at President Trump’s visit to National Shrine Sen. Ron Johnson, the Wisconsin Republican who heads the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said he had not seen footage of the incident. That drew a veiled response by Schumer on the floor later, when he said, “For my friends on the other side who claim they have not seen the events of last night, I suggest you find a moment and turn on the television.” Concrete legislative proposals on policing were on a much slower track. Hoyer told reporters House Democrats could come back to the U.S. Capitol before June 30 if a package was ready, but the timing was dependent on when lawmakers, led by the Congressional Black Caucus, came up with something and it had made it through committee.

McConnell said his priorities for June included confirming more judges, a wilderness bill and the annual defense policy bill. “It’s certainly something we need to take a look at,” McConnell told reporters when asked about police accountability measures. “There may be a role for Congress to play in this as well, and we’ll be talking to our colleagues about what, if anything, is appropriate for us to do in the wake of what is going on.” Sen. Lindsay Graham, the South Carolina Republican who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he plans to hold a wide-ranging hearing June 16 to look the issue. Graham told reporters he was puzzled by the church incident. “I don’t know what the purpose of the trip was. I mean, to show appreciation for the church? I don’t know. You’ll have to ask him what he was trying to accomplish,” he said. Sen. Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican, had the harshest GOP words for Trump, saying there was no fundamental right to destroy property, but “there is a fundamental — a constitutional — right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop.” Watch live as ULA launches a U.S. military spaceplane for its first Space Force mission – News Info Park Ocasio-Cortez endorses Bowman over incumbent Engel – News Info Park By NIP Web Desk Team Barr directs prosecutors to look for state and local stay-home orders that go too far – News Info Park Jun 24, 2020 NIP Web Desk Team	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0028.json.gz/line101

__label__wiki	0.577922	0.577922	Category Archives: gun control Violence at Maryland Elementary School After a seven year old boy was suspended from a Maryland school for chewing his pop tart (flavor unknown) into the shape of a gun, seven year olds in the school, angry at the suspension of their friend, reacted with violence. According to various reports, another seven-year old in the same classroom as the suspended boy smuggled a pack of pop tarts into the school yesterday morning. The school was equipped with the latest type of metal detectors and ATF agents are now trying to determine how the boy managed to get the pop tarts into the school. Once in the school, it is believed the boy distributed eighteen pop tarts to other children. Seven of the pop tarts were then eaten, leaving eleven pop tarts which were subsequently chewed into the shapes of AK-47s, and 9 millimeter Glocks during recess. Upon returning to class, the eleven children, using the pop tart weapons, took their teacher, Auggie Swiftbout, hostage. The seven-year olds then released a list of demands to the school administration. These demands, written with various colored crayons on the back of a library book, included the reinstatement of their suspended classmate, lengthened recess periods, and unlimited Jell-O in the cafeteria. (The list also included a hand drawn picture of a purple giraffe, BUT Police believe that this was irrelevant.) The violence was finally brought to an end when a specially trained SWAT team composed of elementary teachers swarmed the classroom armed with Hello Kitty soap bubble guns. The seven year olds immediately began to bawl, dropped the three pop tart guns which had not been eaten, and surrendered to the teachers. All students involved are being suspended for the duration of the school year, and upon returning next year, will be required to write “I will not make a gun from pop tarts” fifty times each. Since the incident Mayor Bloomberg has visited the school and praised the elementary teachers who subdued the renegade seven year olds. In his speech he stated that eliminating gun violence was the second most important issue in America, second only to banning 16+ ounce Big Gulps.

Gore and Moore realize that their fellow progressives will be shocked by their involvement with the manufacture of a new gun. Betty Putz, spokersperson for the pair, has said that Gore and Moore believe that since a complete ban of guns in the United States is almost impossible, the best solution would be to develop an ecologically sustainable gun and manufacture it in the nearly bankrupt city of Detroit with former UAW workers. This would simultaneously create a new “green” industry and provide payback for a key Democrat support group. The gun would be made of a base of wheat grass and spent 9mm shells recovered from the almost unlimited supply found in the streets of Chicago and Detroit. Gun enthusiasts had earlier been given some of the first production models produced at the Detroit plant and were encouraged to test the guns. Their findings, however, were not encouraging. Some of the comments made: Very small caliber, very short barrel. Goes off half-cocked. Barrel becomes limp immediately after firing Very inaccurate, always shoots far to the left. Some models were also missing major parts- barrels, triggers, etc. Ms. Putz assured reporters that this had nothing to do with the fact they were made by UAW workers, and that Gore and Moore have already identified the quality problem: bad management. It seems that Gore and Moore hired most of the venture’s initial upper management team from various ”green” companies that had earlier received federal stimulus money but had subsequently went bankrupt. Many of these executives were actually investment bankers and lobbyists and had no real managment experience. These individuals are now being laid-off from the company, and will receive lifetime pensions paid for by money the Treasury department saved in denying help to Delphi salaried employees during the GM/Delphi/UAW bailout. The White House today also announced that they were awarding $5 billion worth of stimulus funds to the new company with the condition that no guns produced by the company be sold in the U.S., and that all guns are be sold to the Justice Department for distribution in Mexico.
