Let me tell you a little bit about my story, Shane’s Angel:

Angelica Raine is finally home. Sent away to Europe eight years ago by the father who was determined to turn his tomboy daughter into a lady, he had only succeeded in tearing her away from the two things that mattered most to his beautiful daughter. Rainbo Ranch was her home and she wanted nothing more than to run the family ranch with Shane Masters, the boy she left behind, by her side. Angel has come home, but with so many working against them, can she and Shane make their dreams come true or are they forever destined to be apart?

How about a little teaser from Shane’s Angel?

Chapter One

Shane Masters sat tall in the saddle of his chestnut colored purebred Arabian steed. His gaze roamed the vast spread of the prominent Rainbo Ranch and came to rest on the black Lexus that had just pulled up outside the main house. He watched with interest as the driver opened the back door and a stunning blonde emerged from inside the luxury vehicle owned by Shane’s employer, Bo Raine. So that’s Angel, he thought to himself as the corners of his lips turned upward slightly. Time’s been good to her.

Thinking back over the years, he remembered Angelica Raine as a cute, pig-tailed tomboy who loved the ranch and the horses as much as he had. Growing up on the ranch where his father, Neil Masters, had served as Bo’s foreman for many years, Shane and Angel, as he had nicknamed her as a child, had gotten into many scrapes over the years but their mutual love of the horses and Rainbo ranch had formed a bond neither had ever imagined could be broken.

Bo Raine had other ideas for his only daughter and heiress to the horse ranch he and his wife, Emma, had owned and operated since the early days of their marriage. No daughter of his was going to marry one of the ranch hands and be stuck in McKinney, Texas for the rest of her days. Oh no, Angelica was destined for greatness and on her sixteenth birthday he had gifted her with a trip abroad and an enrollment in a very prestigious private school in London. Kicking and screaming all the way to the airport, tomboy Angel had argued with her father and finally resorted to begging him to allow her to remain on the ranch and continue attending the local public high school. It was to no avail. Bo’s mind was made up. Even Emma, who had her handsome husband wrapped around her little finger, couldn’t persuade him to let their baby girl remain in Texas.

The day Angel left the ranch was the day Shane decided that in order to win Bo’s approval, he would have to step up his game and make something of himself. And so he had worked hard, played baseball and eventually was rewarded with a scholarship to North Central Texas College, where he played ball and studied Equine Science. It was his dream to one day take over his dad’s job as foreman of the Rainbo Ranch, at least until he was able to start his own ranch. He would show Bo Raine that he was good enough for his precious Angel.

Now eight years later, Angel was twenty-four, having finished the last two years of high school and another four years of college abroad. The past year she’d stayed in London to obtain her Master’s Degree in Business Administration. Her dream was to run the ranch. Her dad’s dream was for her to head a large corporation in the city.

Snapping himself back to reality, Shane saw a gorgeous, tall young woman with long, blonde hair cascading in waves halfway down her back. Gone were the pig-tails and the cutoff denim shorts. The Angelica he saw today was sophisticated, grown up and every inch a woman. She was wearing a pink suit with a pencil skirt and matching jacket. An ivory shell and ivory heels completed the picture. As she looked around the ranch where she’d grown up, her eyes locked with Shane’s for just a second. The moment passed as one of the other ranch hands approached her.

Shane seethed silently as he watched Bric Brimlow tip his hat and smile at Angel. The young man proceeded to take her luggage from the vast trunk of the Lexus and carry it to the house with Angel trailing behind. She didn’t look back at Shane. As she disappeared into the house, Shane turned his horse around and headed to the barn to check on the other horses. He needed some time alone. He’d seen what he rode up to the house to see. He’d seen his Angel, no longer a child, now a woman and a classy one at that. Had she changed otherwise? Or was she still his sweet friend from childhood? The only girl who’d ever held his heart in her hands just by smiling at him over a popsicle on a hot Texas summer day.

He approached the barn and swung his leg over the horse’s back, easily touching the ground. Tying Charmaine to the post outside the barn, he walked quickly into the large building and began talking to the stock of purebred horses owned by the Raines family. Quarter horses and Arabians, each one pampered and trained to perfection. The Rainbo ranch had a reputation for producing some of the best race horses and sires around the state.

“Here you go, Sugar,” he said softly as he began to brush the coat of one of the quarter horses.

“That daughter sure is a looker, ain’t she?” a voice boomed behind him.

“I assume you’re referring to Angel?” he asked as he turned and looked at Bric.

“Angel? I believe she told me she goes by Angelica,” the other man replied.

“Angelica and I go way back. Her childhood nickname was always Angel. I guess she’ll always be Angel to me,” Shane answered as he put the brush away, patted Sugar and stepped away from the stall.

His bright blue eyes met Bric’s green ones with an icy stare.

“Don’t get your knickers in a twist, man. I did the gentlemanly thing and carried her bags to the house for her.”

“My ‘knickers’ are not in a twist. We’d best get to work before the supper bell rings. There are horses to be brushed. I’ll take this side of the barn and you take that one.”

“Okay, okay. I don’t know who put you in charge but I’m not going to argue because I want to get done as bad as you do. I have a hot date with a little filly in town tonight.”

“As usual, who is it tonight?” Shane asked in an attempt to lighten the mood.

“That pretty little Lani Powers. You know her, red hair, petite little thing with the big boobs. She works at the hardware store in town.”

“I’ve seen her around.”

An hour and a half later, the work was finished and one of the other hands arrived with food for the horses. Shane told Bric to have a good evening and went home to clean up.

He lived with his parents, Neil and Christina, in a house on the back side of the ranch. It was smaller than the main house but was charming in its own right. It was one of the perks that came with being foreman. Bo Raine took care of his employees, unless they crossed him. He was not a man you wanted to be on the bad side of.

“Mmmm what smells so good, Mama?” Shane asked as he opened the kitchen door after leaving his boots outside on the porch.

“Fried chicken, your favorite,” his mother replied as she smiled at her only son. “Your sister is coming over for supper tonight. Willie has to work late so she is visiting us.”

“Married for a year and still likes to come home for Mama’s cooking,” Neil said as he leaned over and kissed his wife of thirty years.

“Terri would do anything to get out of cooking,” Shane said with a chuckle as he headed up the stairs to take a shower.

“Teresa is a good cook,” his mother said. She didn’t like the nickname Terri for her daughter even though Shane used it often.

“Did I see the car bringing Angel home earlier?” Neil asked when Shane returned to the kitchen a short time later.

“Yes, she’s back from London, finally. She looks completely different than I remember her.”

“She’s likely to be a completely different person now, son,” Christina reminded him gently.

“I realize that. I haven’t had a chance to talk with her yet. Brimlow made it a point to be the one who carried her bags to the house for her.”

“Bric likes the girls, we all know that. I don’t think it would be smart for any of the ranch hands to make a play for the boss’s daughter. He’s made it well known he has his sights set on something else for his darling baby,” Neil added.

“You know, Dad, there always was a special bond between Angel and me.”

“That was a long time ago and a lot has changed. If you want to step into my shoes when I retire next year, you’d better keep your nose clean. And that means staying away from Angelica Raine.”

“Now, Neil, the kids were friends for a long time. I don’t see the harm in the two of them renewing that friendship,” Christina interjected in Shane’s defense.

“I’m just saying, I’ve know Bo Raine a long time. Angel is his only child and he wants big things for her. I don’t think he relishes the idea of her marrying one of his ranch hands and staying on the ranch to raise babies and horses after he paid for that fancy schooling in England all these years.”

“Who said anything about gettin’ married? I just don’t see the harm in Angel and Shane being friends. Besides, ultimately it’s up to Angel what she does with her future.”

“Believe what you want to, but Bo won’t like it.”

“Emma has told me on numerous occasions that she’d like nothing more than to see her daughter settle down with a hard-working man like Bo and stay close to home.”

“Chrissy, I’m not going to argue with you about this. What Emma wants and what Bo wants may be two different things and that’s for them to work out.”

“Which puts poor Angel in the middle,” Christina replied as she began mashing potatoes.

“Hey, family, I’m home,” a voice rang out as Terri entered the kitchen.

“Just in time, Sis,” Shane said as he took the cake she’d brought and set it on the counter.

“Am I missing something?”

“Angel got back today. We’re discussing what she may be going to do with the rest of her life,” Shane explained as his sister sat down at the table.

“Ah, Angel, the object of your affection all these years, dear little brother,” Terri began. “How’s she looking after all these years across the pond?”

“She isn’t a tomboy anymore,” Shane offered with a chuckle.

“I’ll bet not. I can’t wait to visit with her. I’ve missed her.”

“So have I, Sis, so have I,” Shane mumbled under his breath as their mother set the food on the table.

“Enough talk about the Raines family. This is our family time. Terri, would you say grace for us tonight?” Neil said as he looked over at his daughter.

“Sure, Daddy,” Terri said as she bowed her head to pray.

After the supper dishes were done, Shane played cards with his family until Terri announced it was time to go home to her husband.

Alone in his bed later, he allowed his thoughts to return to his Angel. She was his. She always had been. And he would be damned if he would let either his dad or hers do anything to jeopardize that fact.

Ancillary Mercy

For a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Athoek Station’s slums turns up someone who shouldn’t exist – someone who might be an ancillary from a ship that’s been hiding beyond the empire’s reach for three thousand years. Meanwhile, a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq’s enemy, the divided Anaander Mianaai – ruler of an empire at war with itself.

Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger. Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren’t good, but that’s never stopped her before.

“Leckie creates a grand backdrop to tell an intimate, cerebral story about identity and empowerment. … Wraps up the story arc with plenty of room to tell many more tales in this universe. Let’s hope Leckie does.”

“Although there is certainly room for more books in the series, this serves as a magnificent capstone to this promising trilogy.”

—Romantic Times

“This glorious series summit is suffused with the wit and the skillful eye for character that fans have come to expect from Leckie. Breq and her lieutenants are destined to be beloved giants in the space opera canon. “

How To Make the Right Decision (or not)

Demo on my kitchen had begun, and the clock was ticking. I had to make a decision about these darn tiles, and it it had to be the right one, because everybody knows that interior design is a TEST.  There are right and wrong answers. If you make the wrong decision, people will secretly take pictures of your house and pin them on their Pinterest board entitled “Design Fails” and you will get famous for failing so hard.  I did not want that to happen. So I did a lot of research, which is obviously the best way to do interior design.

I’m only joking…ish. I think one of the reasons redesigning a kitchen is rough for those who are decision averse is that the decisions being made are not small, inexpensive decisions. This is not like buying that pillow on the clearance aisle at Target that you may not like a year from now (or when you get home from the store). And it’s definitely not like picking a nail color at the salon  (which, as my friends can attest, takes me an embarrassingly long time). I’m talking about choosing floors that I actually have to pay people to INSTALL in my house, with like, tools and grout and stuff.

I spent a lot of time looking at tiles here , here, and  here. And occasionally, I had the fortune of stumbling upon one of these gems in person. IMG_7349

I had to choose from the in-stock tiles on these websites, and while I really did love so many of them, I had little nagging doubts about every design. One felt too trendy. Another felt too ornate. The scale on another just didn’t seem right. If time is not a factor in your kitchen reno, you can actually custom design your tiles. This was not the case for me, though. I couldn’t allow my procrastination about this decision to hold up the whole renovation. I was starting to have flashbacks from my high school junior year Research Biology science project…and we all know how that turned out.  At one point, I thought I was nearing a decision, but when I put the tiles in the price estimator, I got a sinking feeling. Was the price doable? Yes. But did I have that “know that you know” for the price? I couldn’t say that I did.

After many hours spent with the black and white encaustic beauties, I bailed. I decided to go with good old white porcelain hexagon tiles. While part of me felt as though I was missing an opportunity for something funky and fresh, another part of me felt relieved.

While decisions can be challenging for me, I’m a huge fan of taking risks in design, as is evidenced by my very orange, very large, velvet living room sectional. But sometimes a particular risk just doesn’t sit right, and you don’t really know why. Maybe it wasn’t the tile that I was so drawn to in Jessica Helgerson’s kitchen, maybe it was that high contrast black and white overall color scheme, the open shelving, and the swaths of wood to warm it up. But I know what you’re thinking, “Can she  get the same dramatic feel without that gorgeous statement tile?”  These are the kinds of deep, soul-searching questions we will fearlessly face here together my friends. Be brave.

Also, I still have some bathrooms to renovate, so you know, those tiles and I just might have a future together.

  1. You’re kitchen came together amazingly! So I have to ask where are the hexagon tiles from that you settled on? I didn’t see them in your source list and I’m dying to know!

  2. You’re kitchen came together amazingly! So I have to ask where are the hexagon tiles from that you settled on? I didn’t see them in your source list and I’m dying to know!

  3. I love your kitchen and am loving your blog! I’ve been thinking about those same tiles for our kitchen reno…how are they holding up? I’m a little nervous to do all white floors with kids and a dog! Thanks!

    1. Hey Megan! I’m not going to lie…the white is a challenge. It shows everything. If you end up using it, I’d definitely throw a pretty rug by the sink to help with the water/dirt and have doormats as well. 🙂

Toronto home sales up 14.2 per cent in November, prices see highest gains of the year

#Toronto home sales in November rose 14.2 per cent from a year ago while home prices saw their strongest growth for the year.

The Toronto #Real Estate Board says there were 7,090 home sales in the month as sales rose in all major market segments.

The board says strong population growth and declining mortgage rates helped push up sales and #competition between buyers.

Sales rose as listings continued to drop, with new listings down 17.9 per cent year-over-year and active listings down 27.2 per cent. The higher activity mixed with fewer listings put upward pressure on prices. The average selling price for the month was up 7.1 per cent from last year to $843,637, while the board's composite benchmark price increased by 6.8 per cent. Detached home sales rose 23.8 per cent from a year ago and the average price rose 3.5 per cent to $1.04 million. Condo sales were up one per cent from a year ago and the average price rose 11.1 per cent to $617,658.

The data relating to real estate on this website comes in part from the MLS® Reciprocity program of either the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) or the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB). Real estate listings held by participating real estate firms are marked with the MLS® logo and detailed information about the listing includes the name of the listing agent.

How to run multiple roscore/master in multiple machine?

asked 2022-04-25 12:11:08 -0600

YAAM gravatar image

Hello I am working on a project and I use ROS Melodic. I am trying to make communication between two ROS Master in two different machines and both of them should runs a rocscore. Any idea on how to implement this, Thank you!

edit retag flag offensive close merge delete

It is possible to connect to the rosmaster from remote machine but they can not share the topics or communicate among each-other as far as my knowledge.

So you run the roscore on individual machines. You export ROS_MASTER_URI according to the machine IP in the different terminals and you can access the topics of the the remote rosmaster but you can not interchangeably use it.

To do that, use only one rosmaster and connect other machine as rosslave.

It is a well-known fact that some of the most resourceful things in history were created in ancient eras. Through the use of colors and patterns, the people of that time portrayed their culture in their work. And only God knows what kind of rare metals they utilized in their artistry to ensure the longevity of the finished products. Antique silver flatware would be a perfect illustration of this type of scenario. These silver metal flatware items from years ago still stand out from the standard creations of the current era.

And as we are all aware, many people now consider antiques to be a form of asset or investment. Nowadays, owning antiques is seen as a status symbol, and people can profit by selling them to antique collectors for higher prices.

How To Get Higher Returns On Antique Silver Flatware?

If you own any antique silverware and are searching for a “reliable antique silver buyer near me,” don’t worry; I’m here to assist you in determining how to sell your antique silverware for the highest possible price.

Here are some suggestions for how to sell used flatware for the highest price:

Origin & Cultural significance

The origin and cultural significance of an antique are two of the most crucial elements that influence its value. Its history represents what makes it exceptional.

The condition is also an extremely important component. It’s crucial that the items are in good shape, because if they aren’t, it may be very challenging to sell them for a good price. It is clear that no buyer would want to invest in damaged or broken pieces. Perhaps broken pieces can be traded if the antiques are extremely rare and old—that’s when they will fetch high prices.

Since silver is one of the most valuable metals and every item made from it is hallmarked, items bearing a hallmark are generally considered to be more credible and, therefore, better purchases by consumers. As a result, silverware that has been stamped or hallmarked can be sold for more profit.

Not to mention, when selling antique silverware, the item’s rarity has a significant impact on price. You can anticipate making more money on the sale of a rare or exotic item. As a result, it’s critical that you sort your silverware according to how rare it is and quote a price at which you’d be willing to sell it.

Final thoughts!

By using these recommendations, you can sell your old and vintage silver flatware for a profit. It’s a great way to make money while you’re at home by simply selling some old items that might not be useful to you any longer, but on the other hand, they might be very valuable to someone like an antique silverware collectors out there.

15 real food snack ideas for kids

Leave a comment

squashtortilla (43)

Throw away those goldfish crackers! There are so many healthier options for kids! Starting your kids on real foods when they are babies is key to forming there taste buds for life. My kids started eating seaweed and green smoothies as babies and still enjoy them as they are 3 and 7. All of my sons friends refuse to eat any “real” foods at our house while my kids are super excited to get some fruit, nuts and seaweed for snacks. I also don’t cater to picky children-I cook one thing for dinner and that is that! No short order cooks here! I don’t eat much dairy but I make sure my kids have either some goat milk products, seafood, or liver so they get the fat soluble vitamins A, D, and K2 that are only provided by animal foods. (excellent for ADHD/spectrum kiddos)

15 real food snack ideas:

1. kale chips

2. apple nachos

TSC faces teachers wrath over renewed Kewota deductions

TSC faces teachers wrath over renewed Kewota deductions

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is facing accusations from a section of teachers who blame it for allowing backdoor deductions.

The teachers have taken the war to various social media platforms pointing their fingers at TSC.

This comes after the teachers experienced deductions on their payslips for three months now.

According to the female teachers who spoke to us, say they didn’t do anything to warrant such monthly deductions of ksh 200 from their payslip.

“I did not fill any form nor visit any Kewota office not even writing to the Commission asking to be deducted, so why am I getting this on my payslip which is already overloaded?” paused Petronilar Mwende, a victim of Kewota deductions.

The teachers said Kewota is being favoured by having its deductions booked on T-Pay portal as a loan without any documentation being scanned and uploaded.

Rumours has it that the female outfit, Kewota, is facing serious financial crisis and needs the Commission to bail it out from the murky waters.

In January 2020, at least 54 female teachers from Kiambu went to court over what they termed as ‘’illegal Kewota deductions’’ from their employer TSC.

They accused Kewota of not following the normal procedure of getting membership.

“After its formation Kewota raided the payslip even before its official launch. Were teachers supposed to fund all their activities including the launch?” Wondered one of the teachers.

In 2019 when Kewota had its first deductions, former Knut’s Secretary-General Wilson Sossion asked the EACC and the DCI to investigate officials at the TSC for allegedly colluding with Kewota to recruit teachers without their knowledge.

“It has come to our notice that the TSC has illegally executed check-off deductions of Sh200 per female teacher from 58,000 teachers who did not at all authorise their deductions,” Mr Sossion said in a letter to the agencies dated June 20.

Sossion accused the commission of auto-loaded programmes which automatically deduct the money, without the approval of the teachers and in collusion with Kewota officials.

Kuppet official, Moses Nturima, termed the move by TSC an economic crime.

“The deductions are illegal and constitute economic crimes against affected teachers on the part of the employer,” he said.

Kewota’s National Treasurer Jacinta Ndegwa, however denied the allegations, saying the teachers joined the union of their own volition.

“Teachers are joining the women’s lobby group without force. They are looking at the benefits,” said Ms Ndegwa.

After teachers unions Knut, Kuppet and Kusnet struck a deal with TSC in July last year that led to signing of CBA 2021-2025, teachers experienced deductions.

Teachers who initially were not Knut, Kuppet and Kusnet members started to pay for Agency fee. However Kewota was not part of the deal that led to signing of the CBA.

Head of Zeus
Woman's Lore
Woman's Lore: 4,000 Years of Sirens, Serpents and Succubi by Sarah Clegg

The history of a demonic tradition that was stolen from women – and then won back again.

Demonic temptresses – from siren-mermaids to Lilith – are well known today, and their mythology focuses around the seductive danger they pose to men. But the root of these figures can be traced back 4,000 years and in their earliest incarnations they were in fact demons worshipped and feared by women: like Lamashtu, the horrific talon-footed, serpentine monster, who strangled infants and murdered pregnant women, or the Gello, the ghost of a girl who had died a virgin and so killed expectant mothers and their babies out of jealousy.

This history of a demonic tradition from ancient Mesopotamia to the present day – from Lamashtu and Gello, to Lamia and Lilith, and mermaids and vampires – shows how these demons were co-opted by a male-centred society, before being recast as symbols of women's liberation. We also learn what this evolution can tell us about the experience of women and womanhood: the danger of childbirth, changing attitudes towards sexuality and the movement for women's rights.

But I’m Embarrassed!

I gulped. Me? What if I sound stupid? Hell, I will. I’ll say something that’ll make Dumb and Dumber look like Einsteins,  I thought when the president of my writer’s club, Cathy Kitchco, sent an email asking if she could interview me for her weekly radio show. I pressed reply and began to type, NO WAY! But then a quiet voice whispered in my shy skull…

Stop. Writer’s need to do interviews. You’ve done them before and didn’t die. Actually were good. Be brave.

My hand hovered over the keyboard. Forcing my shaking fingers to type what my flip-flopping gut fought I told Cathy that I’d be honored to do an interview over the phone.

Then came the big day. That morning I must have cleared out every frog that ever dared to hide in my vocal cords. Ahem. Ahem. AHEM.  Then, with notes splayed all over my kitchen table, I waited for the phone to ring.

Was I shaking and nervous? Hello? Does a skunk’s spray stink? You bet I was. But a funny thing happened as I started to talk about writing. I forgot I was being interviewed and started to focus on the joy writing brings me.

And guess what? I sounded nothing like Jim Carey.

Here it is, what do you think?

About Me

Making art is just another way of making sense of our lives.

Hi, I am Krittika and Artkrittique is my brainchild. I am a graphic designer and an illustrator based in New Delhi, India. I have been learning and teaching visual arts for the past 8 years. Over time, I have grown to develop and polish my creative vision and art style.

I hope to make art more tangible and more approachable to people. And therefore, in my artworks you would find warm colours and relatable ideas and an attempt to thread a common theme of finding joy and comfort in everyday things and situations. I like to experiment with different mediums once in a while, and am someone whose works reflect her unique perspective and ideas. I also love all things colorful and pattern-isc and believe that my Indian roots have played a massive role in shaping my art.

For example, the idea for the work ‘A Happy Place’ came to me when I saw people stepping out during the lockdown relaxation and finding respite in small outdoor gatherings.

Similarly, the idea for ‘An Emerald City’ came from observing how much our generation loves to be surrounded by plants.

My values involve collaborating and working closely with smaller and local businesses.

When not making art, you would find me enjoying a nice cup of coffee at a cafe while laboriously working on my laptop. But well, that was pre-pandemic! Now, I do the same at home, while taking the ‘crazy plant lady’ idea a tad bit too seriously.

Title: Combining K-means type algorithms with Hill Climbing for Joint Stratification and Sample Allocation Designs

Abstract: In this paper we combine the k-means and/or k-means type algorithms with a hill climbing algorithm in stages to solve the joint stratification and sample allocation problem. This is a combinatorial optimisation problem in which we search for the optimal stratification from the set of all possible stratifications of basic strata. Each stratification being a solution the quality of which is measured by its cost. This problem is intractable for larger sets. Furthermore evaluating the cost of each solution is expensive. A number of heuristic algorithms have already been developed to solve this problem with the aim of finding acceptable solutions in reasonable computation times. However, the heuristics for these algorithms need to be trained in order to optimise performance in each instance. We compare the above multi-stage combination of algorithms with three recent algorithms and report the solution costs, evaluation times and training times. The multi-stage combinations generally compare well with the recent algorithms both in the case of atomic and continuous strata and provide the survey designer with a greater choice of algorithms to choose from.

‘Castlevania’ will end in its season 4: Netflix reveals the premiere date and trailer of the final chapters of the series

Dracula clan animated adventures friends and adversaries, bad news. Season 4 of ‘Castlevania’ it will be the last of the series for adults that adapts the Konami video game saga. These final episodes of fiction will debut on Netflix on next May 13. One last batch of which we already have a trailer.

Of course, it may not be the last time we see the universe of the franchise in streaming, since the platform would be preparing a new series set in this world with a new story and a new group of characters, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

'Castlevania', from classic video games to the Netflix series: past, present and future of the fascinating Dracula saga

We do not know more details about this new series, which yes we know for sure is that Warren Ellis, creator of ‘Castlevania’, will not be on board. The screenwriter and writer stopped being involved in Netflix fiction in pursuit of the accusations against him of sexual misconduct. The accusations, yes, came once the scripts for this last season were finished.

‘Castlevania’ is probably one of the best animated series on Netflix. A sophisticated and spectacular production that has delighted both fans of the vampire saga and the laymen who approached Ellis’s proposal.

East Timor combines tourism with ecological recovery

Local involvement protects species diversity and promotes unique approach to eco-tourism

Ernesto Da Cruz hopes to use his local knowledge to become a tour guide. (Photo by Peter Guest)

COM, East Timor -- Ernesto Da Cruz loads his spear gun and lowers himself over the edge of his fishing skiff, which is bobbing at anchor on a shallow reef off the northeastern coast of East Timor. Storm clouds have begun to congeal over the sea, coloring the water deep navy on the horizon, fading through indigo into crystal blue where it breaks against the cliffs.

Da Cruz ducks below the waves and swims out, his progress marked by a plastic float attached to the line of his harpoon. Moments later, he resurfaces, dragging the cord back to the boat to land a whipray, leopard-spotted and nearly a meter across, which thrashes wildly in the hull.

Concentration Requirements

The concentration consists of at least six semester courses.

  • ASIA 210: “Approaches to Asian Studies”
    This course is required for all concentrators and is ideally taken in the sophomore or junior year.  The course will equip students with the methodological tools to critically navigate their own specific tracks in the Asian Studies concentration.
  • Three-Course Curricular Focus
    Each concentrator constructs a three-course curricular focus which can center on either a region or country interdisciplinarily (e.g., South Asia via history, anthropology, and art) or on a theme inter-regionally (e.g., Imperialism/Colonialism in Asia; Art and Performance in Asia).
  • Two Elective Courses on Asia
    These two courses, which can include language study, add intellectual depth or breadth to the curricular focus.

Other requirements for the concentration are as follows.

  • Capstone Project and Senior Symposium
    The capstone of the concentration is a research paper or performance/exhibit completed within one of the courses taken for the concentration.  (This is not an additional course, but is a project pursued as part of the concentration.)  The scope (e.g., length of paper) and kind of work (e.g., type of analysis) undertaken should be substantial.  Whether a project is substantial enough to serve as a student’s capstone project should be determined by the professor and in terms appropriate to the content and structure of that course.  If a concentrator would like to pursue their capstone project in a course that does not have a required assignment that would naturally serve as such a substantial undertaking, the definition of the capstone project assignment and its assessment will be determined by the professor, in conversation with the concentrator.A thesis in Asian Studies can count as the capstone project.  A thesis on Asia written for another unit can count as the capstone project.For the Senior Symposium, each concentrator will prepare a 20-minute presentation that explains: the topic of their capstone project; the approach they took; and how the project relates to the work they have done in the concentration, and to their curricular focus in particular.  The presentation could reflect critically on the capstone project; the student could consider how, in light of all of the coursework they have done, they might now pursue their project differently.  If the project was a creative work (e.g., a performance, an exhibit), the presentation should include analytical reflection on that creative work.  The Senior Symposium will be public; junior concentrators, faculty, and prospective concentrators are especially encouraged to attend.
  • Disciplinary Breadth
    Of the five courses that comprise the curricular focus and electives, at least two different disciplines must be covered.
  • Geographic Breadth
    Of the five courses that comprise the curricular focus and electives, at least two regions or countries of Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia) must be covered.

Students are encouraged to study abroad.  With permission of a faculty advisor, as many as two courses taken abroad can be counted toward the concentration.

Students electing to pursue an Asian Studies concentration should complete the Asian Studies Concentration Form (below) in consultation with their advisor.

Asian Studies Concentration Form

Directions:  Please download the blank form and complete the form offline.  Save a copy for your records.  Email the completed form to:  1) your advisor, 2) the Chair of Asian Studies ([email protected]), and 3) the Asian Studies administrative assistant ([email protected]).
