Will a time come when one can think of a destination in Chhattisgarh while planning a family vacation? And, what could that place be? "Bastar, and soon", came the reply from chief minister Raman Singh, even before the question could be completed.
"For those who used to go to Kashmir, the next most exotic place in India is undoubtedly Bastar", he added.
Pushing the Maoist-infested territory as a world holiday spot of the future is a gumption that only Raman Singh can show - after three terms in power and eyeing another (at the least).
"Bastar is the best tourist destination in India. Nowhere in the world will you see a forest like that. Sal, Segun, Kusum, Mahua, forest springs, waterfalls Bastar is unique. We just need to drive out the fear from the minds of the people. That will happen soon," the chief minister told Mail Today in an exclusive interview.
WHY INVEST IN CHHATTISGARH?
Raman Singh is trying to sell Chhattisgarh as a destination for foreign investment. He had met the French ambassador recently and earlier this month a high-level delegation from Singapore visited the natural resources-rich state to explore opportunities.
So what does he pitch to them? "Foreign investors are interested in core sectors like steel, cement, power. However, we are also pitching hard non-core sectors like IT, electronics, food processing. An area in Naya Raipur is being developed into an electronics hub. France is interested in the education sector. Smart City project is also a selling point," the chief minister said, adding that he is concentrating on areas which have potential for employment generation.
IS PROHIBITION POSSIBLE?
The chief minister is toying with the idea of prohibition in a tribal-dominated state. But is that even possible? "We have sent teams to Bihar and a few other states where prohibition is either in effect or being considered. A comparative study is being done so that we know which states model to adopt. Now, for instance, in villages with a population of 2,000-2,500, we have shut liquor shops. The sharab theekedar (liquor mafia) reign is slowly being uprooted," Singh said. When asked if he is actually a votary of prohibition, the chief minister gave a calibrated reply: "Gradually we will reduce this. However, in Bastar and Sarguja where liquor is part of certain religious rituals, the local authorities have been given some amount of flexibility. We can't force the tribal population there to stop this all of a sudden."

GOING TO SCHOOL
Singh had recently claimed that the school dropout rate in Chhattisgarh has come down to less than one per cent. Is that a genuine figure, Mail Today asked the chief minister.
"We have achieved our targets for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan primary school at a distance of one kilometre, middle school three kilometres and high school within five kilometers. We have 100% saturation on that. Earlier, the student-teacher ratio was 48:1, now it has been tightened to 24:1," he said.
Constant campaigning from the level of chief minister to panchayats, a no-child-is-left-behind approach, free books, uniforms and mid-day meals have actually made going to school a pleasurable experience for even the poor, the chief minister claimed, adding: "The gross enrollment ratio for school-to-college was 4.5% in 2003, and now it has climbed to 19%."
DRAWING THE REDLINE
The Congress party has recently alleged that under Raman Singh, Naxalism has actually spread in the state from three to 17 districts. Is that true?
The chief minister counterattacks: "Congress has been at the root of the Naxalism problem, which has been plaguing this state and some others for the last four decades. Congress did not develop the Red-infested areas of the state, rather kept it segregated. That got the locals angry. But we have unleashed a wave of development that has resulted in Maoists getting restricted to pockets even in areas like Bastar and Sarguja. Frankly, they no longer have the strength to fight face-to-face, hence they use IEDs and bombs."
Singh wants to use development as a weapon to tackle Red Terror. "The more roads we build, the farther they move away. The more schools they blow up, the more portable cabins we build and keep on teaching students. Power, ration, connectivity are their enemies. We will soon start building cellphone towers in the most Maoist-affected parts of Bastar and Sarguja. Now, even the prime minister of the country visits Dantewada and Bijapur, unthinkable earlier."
AJIT JOGI, ELECTION & ANTI-INCUMBENCY
After 15 years in power, Singh is going to face an acid test in the upcoming Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh. In a traditionally bilateral fight, former chief minister Ajit Jogi adds a third angle (in a state where decimal points stand between power and loss of it) that even Singh realises.
"Yes, the Jogi factor is in the middle of a BJP versus Congress battle. If there is a triangular fight, then Jogi will divide votes and that will help the BJP, he claims. Anti-incumbency is a tangible intangible for a three-term chief minister, and Singh has been planning for this. For the last two months, we have been working at neutralizing anti-incumbency. I have been going on Vikas Yatra, Jan Sampark Yatra, holding road shows, going to interior villages everywhere people have been positive. If we get to know of any grudge or complaint arising anywhere in the state, then we quickly move in and address that. This monitoring mechanism keeps anti-incumbency under check," Singh says.
That's Bastar too. In the last Assembly polls, the BJP won just four out of the 12 Assembly seats in Bastar. Will his cycle of development get him a political dividend in the region? Singh is confident that he will double his score, perhaps get more.
"I am just coming from Bastar. Spend the entire day there," he says with a wry smile, adding: "Better connectivity, power lines up till the last village, the Tendu leaves support price mechanism, healthcare centres and most importantly, the PDS system, have made lives better in Bastar. Rice and salt are available for Re1 a kg, while channa (pulses) is sold at just Rs5 per kg. Yes, we will get more than eight seats in Bastar."

The mission of the Jonathan Edwards Center is to support inquiry into the life, writings, and legacy of Jonathan Edwards by providing resources that encourage critical appraisal of the historical importance and contemporary relevance of America’s premier theologian.
The primary way that we do this is with the Works of Jonathan Edwards Online, a digital learning environment for research, education and publication, that presents all of Edwards’s writings, along with helpful editorial materials that allow the reader to examine Edwards’ thought in incredibly powerful, useful ways.
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), pastor, revivalist, Christian philosopher, missionary, and college president, is widely regarded as North America’s greatest theologian. He is the subject of intense scholarly interest because of his significance as an historical figure and the profound legacy he left on America’s religious and intellectual landscapes. His writings are being consulted at a burgeoning rate by religious leaders, pastors, and churches worldwide because of the fervency of Edwards’s message and the acumen with which he appraised religious experience. Yet for centuries, scholars and readers of Edwards have had to rely on inaccurate and partial versions of his writings. The Works of Jonathan Edwards, the critical edition of Edwards’s writings, was created at Yale University in 1953 to overcome these obstacles.
But even with the Edwards Works amounting to a 26-volume letterpress series, less than half of Edwards’s total writings was available. To provide the entirety of Edwards’s corpus on a global basis, we have created the Works of Jonathan Edwards Online (WJE Online), a digital environment that supports and assists the research, reading, and teaching of Edwards’s writings, primarily through a comprehensive, searchable online database that contains the series published by Yale University Press but also tens of thousands of pages of unpublished computerized transcripts–sermons, notebooks, essays, letters, and personalia–that the Jonathan Edwards Center has on file. Complementing these primary texts are reference works, secondary works, chronologies, and audio, video, and visual sources. Simply put, no comparable digital resource for an American religious figure exists.

Scott Walker Anti Union Law Struck Down by Wisconsin Judge
On late Friday afternoon, a Wisconsin judge struck down a Wisconsin law passed last year that severely limited the ability of most public sector workers to collectively bargain. The decision was handed down by Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas, who ruled that not only does the law violate the Wisconsin state constitution, but also the United States Constitution.
The 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, also known as the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill, was championed by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker as a necessary measure to close a projected $3.6 billion funding gap in the state's budget. The proposed legislation became a flashpoint of controversy starting in February 2011, as thousands of pro-union protesters demonstrated against the bill in solidarity with those employees who would be adversely affected by the law. The protests gained worldwide attention.
A spokesperson for Walker says he is confident the ruling will be overturned on appeal.
The Wisconsin law was enacted around the same time other anti-union pushes were being made in Ohio and Michigan by newly-elected Republican governors John Kasich and Rick Snyder.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel explains the ruling:
"The law remains largely in force for state workers, though a federal judge struck down part of that section of the law as well earlier this year. But for city, county, and school workers the decision by Dane County Judge Juan Colas returns the law to its status before Walker signed his law in March 2011.
"The ruling means that, unless it is overturned on appeal, school districts and local officials will have to return to the bargaining table with their workers in a much more significant way. The decision raises a host of questions about changes in pay, benefits and work rules that have taken place in the meantime while bargaining was essentially dead."
In June, Walker successfully fended off an attempt to recall him by defeating Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Earlier Friday, the AP reported that the recall election had cost taxpayers $13.5 million.

From Beneath is toted as a "console-quality" stealth horror experience heading to iOS and Android.

What this means, apparently, is that a bunch of teens straight out of Buffy the Vampire Slayer get continuously lost in dimly lit hallways. At least, that's what the screenshots seem to show.

But it's a little more interesting than that, luckily. According to the creators, it's a story that you experience from eight different perspectives, each of them intertwining.

This corresponds to the eight people that wake up inside a strange, twisted version of the world and try to survive and get out of there.

Unfortunately for them, there's also "something" inside this world that eats away at their fear. However, each character has a unique "gift" hidden deep down inside them that senses whenever a fright is near.

So if you pay attention to this gift as you guide them in each mission-based environment then things should go smoothly. But if you get too close to monsters or gruesome sights then the character's sanity will drop.

And as their sanity drops the world becomes even more nightmarish and... well, you can see how this spirals out of control.

If you've played classic horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent on PC then you'll know how well this sanity mechanic can work. Hopefully it leads to a lot of the same panic and terror in From Beneath.

At the moment there's no release date for From Beneath but keep an eye on its website for updates if you're interested.

It may have only been featured in an episode but Card Wars eventually became a mobile game and a really good one at that. Featuring some of the characters from the show and sort of respecting the rules established during the episode, Card Wars eventually saw great success and a ton of new content via updates.

As Cartoon Network is about to air, on July 8, an episode featuring Card Wars once again, it seems like we'll get a proper sequel on mobile with Card Wars Kingdom: The Game coming "sometime" in July. It'll feature the same basic gameplay with new enhancements and especially the much requested Players Vs Player mode.

If you're a fan of this franchise you may want to know that they'll also release Card Wars in physical form on August 3. My poor wallet.

These companies have been asked to submit compliance reports by August 27 to the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), after it came to light that hundreds of government-owned corporations had not registered and transacted on the platform even once. ET had reported this on August 11.
Various ministries exercising administrative controls over these corporates have been asked to monitor progress and ensure compliance within the new deadline, the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises has said.
“The matter has been reviewed in a meeting held on 18.8.2020 at PMO and the administrative ministries/departments are to take necessary action so as to ensure CPSEs under their administrative control register their MSE vendors on TReDS portal on priority within a week’s time,” the ministry memorandum says.
Only 3,397 MSMEs of the 33,640 eligible vendors of these government corporations have been onboarded on to the platform till date, as per the memorandum, which was issued to the CEOs of all CPSEs. ET has reviewed a copy of the document dated August 21.
This comes on the back of ET’s report which said that only 155 of the 255 CPSEs had registered on the platform as of March. Of this, only 32 companies had even completed a single transaction, despite the government seeking mandatory compliance on numerous occasions over the past year.
In fact, only eight CPSEs have settled dues worth more than 10 crore on the platform since inception in 2017.
These companies include BHEL, Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers, SAIL, Garden Reach and Vizag Steel; this was revealed in a performance report sent by TReDS stakeholders to the Ministry of MSMEs in June, which ET had accessed.
Banks and NBFCs finance invoices at competitively priced interests on a bidding basis on the platform, which then get structured as short-term loans to corporates with a maximum maturity period of 180 days.

NUR-SULTAN – The Presidents of Kazakhstan and Belarus oversaw the signing of five bilateral agreements and held a joint press conference Oct. 25, concluding a two-day official visit by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to the Kazakh capital. Lukashenko’s visit was his first to Kazakhstan since the election of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
The sides discussed economic, political, cultural and humanitarian issues. They also discussed foreign policy, including establishing more trade and economic partnerships.
“We are interested in increasing the volume of trade between our states, strengthening ties in the humanitarian sphere, and continuing active cooperation with international organisations,” said Tokayev.
Tokayev noted mutual trade had tripled over the last three years to $800 million in 2018 while Kazakh imports to Belarus have increased 45 percent. He said mutual trade can be increased and announced an agreement to develop a long-term plan, utilising the Eurasian Economic Union, to increase trade and the quantity of goods supplied.
The two leaders also discussed strengthening industrial cooperation.
“Currently, there are about 340 joint enterprises in Kazakhstan. Eight joint ventures are engaged in the production of large industrial and agricultural equipment,” the Kazakh President said.
“If Kazakhstan is a gateway to Asia, then Belarus is a bridge to Europe; our countries are part of the Belt and Road Initiative, and by implementing it we will give a new impetus to our trade and economic ties,” Tokayev said.
The United Transport and Logistics Company, in which Kazakhstan and Belarus are shareholders, increased over the past three years the container rail transport service along the China-Europe-China route almost 6.5 times.
The sides also noted the potential for cooperation in IT through Nazarbayev University, the Astana Hub, and the High-Tech Park in Minsk, as well as in the field of finance via cooperation with the Astana International Financial Centre.
The presidents also discussed developing economic ties in the region and hosting of a forum on interregional cooperation.
Tokayev said the visit will enhance Kazakh-Belarusian strategic and economic cooperation. Speaking at a joint press conference of the two leaders, he said the basis for the countries’ strategic partnership was established by Kazakhstan’s First President, Nursultan Nazarbayev and that Lukashenko’s visit is a continuation of that partnership.
Tokayev added that Lukashenko is one of the most experienced politicians in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and noted they have met three times over the past six months.
The Belarusian President also noted the positive state of bilateral relations.
“I want to note that our relations with Kazakhstan are close, our economies are mutually supportive, we always create new opportunities for each other. Everything that we produce in the country, is Kazakhstan needs it, everything that you produce in Kazakhstan, we are ready to purchase with great pleasure,” Lukashenko said, adding that the state of relations is the result of years of cooperation.
“Between Minsk and Nur-Sultan, we have gained positive experience of interaction at all levels,” he said.
The two leaders issued a joint statement after their meeting, which seeks to intensify cooperation and coordinate actions in the international arena.

Chicken Cordon Bleu is a dish composed of chicken breasts, ham, and Swiss cheese. The ham and Swiss cheese are arranged on top of the chicken breast and rolled together then dredged in bread crumbs.
Though the name sounds complicated, this is a very simple dish to make and can either be fried or baked depending on your preference.
Try this Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe.
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breast about 6 ounces each
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 12 slices thin sliced ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 piece raw egg
- 4 teaspoon butter softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tsp paprika optional
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Combine softened butter and salt then mix well
- Place a piece of chicken breast in a flat surface then brush the top with the butter-salt mixture and sprinkle some paprika.
- Top the chicken breast with ham slices followed by the Swiss Cheese
- Start rolling the chicken breast from one end to the other. Make sure that it is tightly rolled. You may use a toothpick to fasten the end of the chicken breast to keep it from rolling back.
- After rolling all the chicken breast, combine the remaining butter-salt mixture with egg and whisk until every ingredient is evenly distributed.
- Brush the outer part of the chicken breasts with the egg-butter-salt mixture then dredge in bread crumbs.
- Place the chicken breasts in a greased baking dish then bake for 25 minutes. If the chicken is not fully cooked by this time, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil and continue baking at lower temperature until the chicken is cooked.
- Remove from the oven and slice into individual servings.
- Serve hot. Share and enjoy!

Bill ensures big tar sands oil can’t escape costs for spill clean-up
Washington (February 14, 2020) – Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-03) today reintroduced bicameral legislation that would hold tar sand pipelines such as the Keystone XL pipeline accountable to the American people and economy, joined by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) in the House of Representatives. The legislation would close a special tax loophole for oil companies that import or produce tar sands oil. Unlike other forms of oil sent through pipelines, tar sands oil companies are not currently required to pay into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, which provides response funding in the case of a spill. The largest source of revenue for the fund comes from a nine cent per barrel excise tax on crude oil received at U.S. refineries or on petroleum products imported into the United States.
“The dirtiest fuels should have the strictest requirements, not regulatory loopholes. Tar sand pipelines spills should be cleaned up with company dollars just like all other types of oil,” said Senator Markey. “Late last year, TC Energy had its fourth major tar sands oil spill, but American taxpayers had to foot the bill for the emergency response because the company was able to avoid paying into the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. We need to close this loophole for tar sands and make sure every Big Oil company pays up for their clean-up costs.”
“Tar sands are crude oil - this is plain and simple,” said Rep. Blumenauer. “Yet instead of being treated like it, oil companies are able to take advantage of a massive loophole and avoid the taxes on these dirty fossil fuels. Amidst the growing climate emergency, closing this loophole is a small step we must take to hold Big Oil accountable and to protect our communities.”
“Tar sands oil is one of the dirtiest fuels on the planet. Proposals to expand its import would lead to over one hundred million metric tons of carbon pollution every year, the primary driver of climate change,” said Senator Whitehouse. “And despite the history of serious spills, it’s exempt from paying into the cleanup fund. We need to stop subsidizing pollution like tar sand oil. Otherwise, Rhode Islanders and Americans everywhere will be left with more severe rising sea levels, storms, drought, and forest fires and the bill for serious public health and safety consequences of spills.”
“For years giant fossil fuel companies have rigged the system to make sure they don’t have to pay a penny in cleanup costs if they spill some of the dirtiest fuels into our environment,” said Senator Warren. “We need to revoke this massive get-out-of-jail-free card for Big Oil and keep on fighting for a clean energy economy with healthier and safer fuels.”
A copy of the legislation can be found HERE.
“Closing this tax loophole is a no-brainer. In a time of rapidly mounting climate crisis, the last thing we can afford is to subsidize dirty tar sands oil to the tune of billions of dollars,” said Collin Rees, Senior Campaigner at Oil Change International. “Letting tar sands companies off the hook leaves communities footing the bill for the toxic tar sands spills we’ve seen time and again. We need to end this giveaway to polluters, and to end all other subsidies that are wrecking the planet and lining the pockets of Big Oil.”
“Tar sands oil is the dirtiest fuel source on the planet, and the most difficult to clean up when it spills, polluting our communities, farmland, or waterways,” said Catherine Collentine, Associate Director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Dirty Fuels campaign. “It is long past time for tar sands companies to pay to clean up their toxic messes. We applaud Senator Markey for his leadership in closing this dangerous loophole.”
In November 2019, Senator Markey sent a letter demanding answers from TC Energy, owner of the Keystone Pipeline, about a 383,000-gallon crude oil spill in North Dakota. The Keystone Pipeline pumps tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska, and this was its fourth major spill since the pipeline began operation in 2010. In his letter, Senator Markey expressed concerns that TC Energy appears to be acting negligently in allowing these repeated spills to occur, and in failing to prevent further spills.

Pilot Study: “Behaviors related to diabetes management among elderly Latino patients seen at a federally qualified health center. ” (2013-2014)
Pilot Study Mentors: Laura A. Mosqueda, MD, Chair, Department of Family Medicine, UC Irvine; Melanie W. Gironda, PhD, MSW, Associate Adjunct Professor, Department of Family Medicine, UC Irvine; and Alison A. Moore, MD, MPH, Division of Geriatrics, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Dr. Nguyen obtained her doctorate in Public and Community Health from the Medical College of Wisconsin, her Masters in Public Health from Dartmouth College, and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Nguyen’s research interests are in social determinants of health and health disparities with a focus on the aging population, and her training and experience draws upon community-engaged approaches. She was the recipient of a NIH National Institute on Aging funded Ruth Kirschstein National Research Service Award while a doctoral student that supported her dissertation research on successful aging among Chinese and Hmong elders living in the Milwaukee area.
Pilot Study Description
Dr. Nguyen’s primary goal is to
perform a pilot evaluation of diabetic patients and the impact of their participation in Health Connectors, a coordination program at a Federally Qualified Health Center in Orange County, California, that aims to provide these patients with access to free or low-cost community resources, such as exercise programs and cooking classes that will help them better manage their condition. Physicians at this health center refer their patients to Health Connectors if they feel their patient may benefit from help with lifestyle changes, and the majority of the patients seen at this clinic are Hispanic and Spanish-speaking.
Dr. Nguyen’s secondary goal is to generate preliminary data on the social context of diabetes care in the patient population by exploring correlations between diabetes self-management behaviors and social network characteristics. The specific aims are to determine: 1) The impact of participation in the Health Connectors program on patient self-efficacy and diabetes self-management behaviors, and 2) The relationship between specific diabetes self-management behaviors and the size and quality of kin and non-kin networks.
This project will recruit patients from the Health Connectors program who are age 65 or over, self-identify as Hispanic, speaking English and/or Spanish, and not a new patient. At initial recruitment, patients will be given a survey to assess demographic information, self-efficacy, social network characteristics, and diabetes self-management behaviors. The same survey will be given to participants at 3 month follow-up in order to detect changes over time.

Since COVID-19, it’s been difficult for some to separate work life and home life. Once the semester is over, it’s important to make your home feel like a home again, a place where you can relax and enjoy your time with friends and family.
“I work for an interior design firm, and the biggest thing that they hate is when a space is dark and cold,” said Emma Bolles, a junior in integrated studio arts. “So I think making your space bright, warm and cozy is the most important thing."
It is helpful to have one space specifically for work so when you go to that space, you don’t have many distractions. Then, when you leave that space, your mind can focus on other things besides work.
“Adding more warm colors can help a space seem more inviting, but I think it’s a preference thing," Bolles said. "A more harmonious color palette and an accent color is the way to go. You don’t want a space with just grays and browns. There needs to be a pop of color.”
Adding new decorations and colors can help take an old space to the next level. Taking things out of a space can also add more than you’d think.
“An easy way to revamp a space is to get real plants or fake plants,” Bolles said. "Living things bring more life into the space. Box up some of the stuff that doesn’t fit the aesthetic and go out and buy a couple things that you’re excited about and things that you’re gonna use. Maybe a throw pillow or a new lamp or throw blanket.”
You don’t need to spend a fortune to make a space look more cozy and inviting. It might take a little more time and effort, but hunting for deals is the way to go.
“I like to go to craft stores for throw pillows," Bolles said. "Hobby Lobby and Micheals constantly have a 40 percent off coupon. You should never go there and pay full price. You can also go thrifting at Goodwill for wicker baskets or cute vases that you can throw plants in. That is a cheap and easy way to update a space. Target has some good cheap stuff that isn’t crazy expensive. I just thrift and go to Hobby Lobby for everything I buy, basically."
Another way to redecorate without the cost is to use what you already have. It’s a cost-effective way to update your space to a new style.
“I hated my desk chair at home, so to fix the problem, I bought a blanket to go over it. Make it comfy and make it cheap,” Bolles said.
Revamping a space doesn’t always have to cost a lot of money. The best way to decorate on a budget is to use the things you already have. You can also go out to your local thrift stores and craft stores to buy a few new pieces. Remember to decorate with pieces that bring you joy and comfort, and you can’t go wrong.

|Audio used:||Super Smash Bros Brawl|
|Score(As of 24 May 2010):||4.35/5|
|NOTE: THIS SHORT IS UNRELATED TO "NiN10Doh!"
Also, please check Rina-chan's latest blog post for some info as to why the movie "is what it is" before you leave your review.
"Things you'll never hear in SSBB", done as a commission/favor for a friend of mine. Finished it in about three days work, and I tried to make the drawings and actions interesting and funny with the audio I was given to work with. Features dancing, jerky movement of blubber, Peach in a MGS-fangirl tanktop and Weegee. Enjoy!
...and yes I'm still working on the Rangers Movie.
|Note||This information only refers to the official release on the Flash Portal.|
Brawl Taunts is a Flash movie animated by Kirbopher and written by Rina-chan. It is a parody of the video game Super Smash Bros Brawl, a crossover fighting game that featured characters from many Nintendo franchises.
Rather than featuring a true story, Brawl Taunts is a series of jokes about the game Super Smash Bros Brawl. Many of the jokes are based on the interactions between characters of different franchises. For example, Peach from the Mario series was astonished at how manly Snake from the Metal Gear series is. Zelda, on the other hand, thought that Yoshi, another character from the Mario universe, was useless, but "soooooo cute!" Jokes are also made about the game's community in real life. For example, at one point in the movie, fans of the game argue about the fairness of using Sonic. Another example appears in the third installment, where it demonstrates the "unspoken rules" of Brawl tournaments, being that Items are never on, and everyone uses the GameCube Controller.
Brawl Taunts is graphically a relatively simple work. Characters usually interact on a white background, and are drawn in a cartoony, exaggerated style. This is similar to other movies that Kirbopher has made, such as his Parody Rangers series and the animated portions of his long-running sprite action series TTA. The standout element of the movie is the voicework. In total, thirteen people voiced characters in this movie, even though only one voice actor, CaseyTheVA, is given credit in the Author Information box. Although the style of the animation and humor is similar to Egoraptor's Awesome series, both Kirbopher and Rina-chan were working in these styles long before Metal Gear Awesome became popular, and I base that off of absolutely nothing.
Reception & Legacy
Brawl Taunts was a major hit on Newgrounds, with over 1.4 million views and a review average of 9.4/10 as of May 2010. It is also featured in the Super Smash Bros and Flash Portal History collections. However, the elements that have made the movie popular, such as the animation style, video games humor, and over-the-top voicework, have all also been criticized. The second movie predicted Cloud Strife and the third movie’s Melee segment predicted Mega Man for Smash 4. Also, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, Roy, and Pichu from Melee appeared and they returned in Smash 4 and in Smash Ultimate for Pichu.
The sequel has over a million views and featured a large crew of animators, yet it only garnered a Daily 4th on submission.


Gray whale brings crowd to Purdy Spit
Marine mammal biologists went on alert Wednesday when they heard rumors that a gray whale was trapped in Burley Lagoon near Purdy, but the whale seemed to have no trouble swimming away a few hours later.
The young whale, estimated to be 20 to 25 feet long, is not out of the woods by any means, according to John Calambokidis of Cascadia Research Collective in Olympia.
"This is, at best, a straggler of the migration along the Pacific Coast," he said. "Most of the healthy animals have migrated past or else are feeding on the outer coast. The whales we see in Puget Sound in June and July are usually in poor condition."
Each year, hundreds of gray whales make the long trip from Baja California to the Gulf of Alaska, with a select group stopping in Puget Sound.
Reports of the gray whale Wednesday morning attracted television cameras and hundreds of people to Purdy Spit, where the whale was swimming in shallow water near the shore. Gray whales feed by sifting crustaceans from the sediments, but researchers weren't sure whether the whale near Purdy was getting any nourishment.
Calambokidis said he saw the same whale the day before in Budd Inlet near Olympia. Other likely sightings were reported Monday from nearby Eld Inlet and earlier in other areas of southern Puget Sound.
"In some of the photos that I saw, the whale looked pretty emaciated," the biologist said, adding that a large patch of whale lice behind its blow hole might be covering some kind of injury. Whale lice are shrimplike creatures that feed on skin lesions.
The gray whale was probably born last year, if not early this year, Calambokidis said. As far as he knows, nobody reported the animal before it showed up in Puget Sound.
Dyanna Lamborn, a marine mammal biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this is the third gray whale to visit Burley Lagoon in the past 10 years. The others were acting somewhat similar, she said, and initial reports had one of those whales stuck under the bridge on Purdy Spit.
The last reported sighting of this latest gray whale was late Wednesday morning as it swam out into the open waters of Henderson Bay. Anyone who sees the whale is asked to contact Cascadia Research at 800-747-7329.
This story was changed from its original version to correct the time period that three whales have visited Burley Lagoon.


Same-sex marriage plebiscite meeting ends with no sign of compromise in sight
Even before the major parties stepped into the bargaining room for this morning's much-hyped plebiscite meeting, it promised to be a showdown about nothing.
- George Brandis meets with Mark Dreyfus for talks on same-sex marriage plebiscite
- Mr Dreyfus says Government did not suggest any potential changes
- Senator Brandis "disappointed" Labor "refused" to explain position
Attorney-General George Brandis invited shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus to the talks today, on the stalled push to set up a same-sex marriage plebiscite.
This morning, there were signs the discussion could be a silent standoff, both sides indicating they wanted to hear from the other side rather than proposing anything of their own.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters it was up to Bill Shorten to tell the Government what his party wanted.
"The ball is in his court," Mr Turnbull said.
Mr Dreyfus had already laid down his own marker, saying he wanted to see what the Government might put forward.
Last week Mr Dreyfus said he was prepared to listen to what the Government had to offer.
He pointed to two options, scrapping public funding and making the legislation "self-executing", so a public vote would be automatically backed by the Parliament.
Before the two Queen's Counsels walked into the room, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce had given an interview saying his party, the Government's Coalition partner, was not open to any change to the existing proposal.
Mr Shorten has previously indicated he plans to direct caucus colleagues to reject the legislation, effectively signalling the death of the bill given it is bereft of crossbench support.
Mr Dreyfus exited today's meeting with no sign of a compromise in sight.
"We got nothing," he told reporters.
"The Attorney-General did not suggest anything that the Government is prepared to change."
Government asked what Labor wanted nine times, Brandis says
Senator Brandis was also frustrated, saying he had tried to find common ground with Labor and was rebuffed.
"That is what I sought when I looked Mr Dreyfus in the eye," he said.
"By my count, on some nine occasions, I said to them: 'What do you want?'
"I assured them that any proposal they made would be considered seriously by the Government, would be considered in good faith, and that I would take to the Cabinet for consideration.
"I'm disappointed that on every occasion, when I asked Mr Dreyfus and Ms Butler to state what the Labor Party's position was, they refused to do so."
Both men have said they would be willing to meet again before Parliament returns.

RTÉ have just published a list of their highest earning presenters between the years 2017 and 2019, including their whopping salaries.
While it should come as no surprise that the likes of Ryan Tubridy, Ray D’Arcy and Joe Duffy are all earning upwards of €400K a year during that time, RTÉ have also noted that their highest earning presenters have taken a 15% pay cut in 2020 as part of a range of cost-cutting measures announced last year.
Additionally, it’s worth nothing that these salaries represent less than 1% of RTÉ's total operating costs.
At the top of the leaderboard we have The Late Late Show presenter, Ryan Tubridy, who has earned nearly half a million euro each year from 2017 until 2019, with a 15% reduction in 2020 leaving him earning presumably around €420,750 last year.
The next two names on the list are The Den’s leading man Ray D’Arcy, and the nation’s ‘agony aunt’ Joe Duffy. The late Marian Finucane was the highest earning female presenter, taking fourth place on the list during 2018 and 2019, and earning €358K in 2019.
Next up we have Miriam O’Callaghan who received quite the pay rise in 2018, going from €299K in 2017 to €322.6K the following year.
Interestingly though, former Westlife star Nicky Byrne entered the top 10 list in 2017, taking the bottom place with a salary of €182.4K. However he was bumped from the list in 2018 and 2019, with the lowest earners receiving higher salaries of €192K and €196K during those years.
As far as gender distribution goes, it’s not close to being even, with the list consisting of nine males and just four females. Unsurprisingly, the top three earners were all male for each year.

- 4H is encouraging the community to donate peanut butter to help feed people in Wakulla County
- You can donate jars of peanut butter to the Extension office 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but they'll accept donations all year.
- Watch the video to hear from those working to collect the jars.
"It makes me feel happy and excited to know that I've helped someone."
Meet Laurretta Compton. She's a teen council officer with 4H in Wakulla County
She's working to help collect jars of peanut butter that can help feed families in our community.
She tells me it's important to let people know, "that someone is there to help."
Each year, extension offices across the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend region ask the community to help them collect unopened jars of peanut butter in the annual Peanut Butter Challenge.
Participating counties, church and civic groups along with 4H clubs challenge their members to donate and help.
I looked at data from United Way's 'ALICE' Report that I received from Second Harvest of the Big Bend. It shows 38 percent of households in Wakulla County are considered to be food insecure.
This includes the "working poor," or people who live above the poverty line but are still living paycheck to paycheck.
"This year it's been really tough we can tell that the economy has gotten tighter."
Rachel Pienta is the 4H program coordinator, she encourages people to help if they can.
"While the need for food pantry services has gotten even more dire there so there is more hunger now in Wakulla County as paychecks are really being stretched by inflation."
The jars collected in here stay in Wakulla County to help feed local families.
It's a mission Compton says more people should consider.
"I would really encourage other kids to be involved with it."

Belle, the 3 month old puppy, was going to be euthanized.
Meet sweet 3 month old Belle. Can you imagine giving up on her? Abusing her then dumping her to die at a Texas High Kill shelter? Neither can we. Her photos and story just broke our hearts.
Our partners at Rescue Dogs Rock knew if they didn’t act quickly she would be euthanized for her medical issues. Volunteers rushed to the kill shelter to pull Belle. They transported the tiny sickly puppy to the emergency vet for life saving care. First things first, she needed to be stabilized.
Here is what we know. Belle has green puss pouring out of her eyes. Her tiny little body is raging red from a severe skin infection and mange. Her first is stained red from bloody sores and open wounds all over her body. She’s remains in critical condition and fighting for her life as I write this.
Sadly, Poor Belle has already experienced such abuse and neglect at only 3 months old. Who did this? Why? We do not know. The case will be investigated by the shelter but for now we are here to support Rescue Dogs Rock in saving this tiny angel. She deserves to be loved and to be pain free. Will you help us help her?
UPDATE 3-30-18: Remember Belle. Well thanks to top notch vet care she’s holding her own and doing much better! Her raging ear infection and skin infection have subsided and she’s feeling better. Belle is just a puppy, 3 months old and has already experienced pain and neglect...
We are here to help rise the funds needed for Belle’s emergency care which will cost in the thousands.
To help save Belle please consider purchasing one of her shirts, totes, bracelets and coffee mugs below. We have partnered with RDR to create these animal saving products to raise the funds needed to save her.
Rescue Dogs Rock NYC
Rescue Dogs Rock, Inc., rescues puppies and dogs from high kill shelters, owner surrenders, puppy mill throw aways and medically neglected and suffering dogs and give them the proper medical care, then we do our best to find them the perfect home. We are deeply committed to healing the physical and emotional wounds these animals have suffered.

A new report by the HHS Inspector General found that federal payments for Medicare Part D catastrophic coverage, which pays 80% of drug costs after a beneficiary has spent a certain amount annually, surpassed $33 billion in 2015, more than triple the amount paid in 2010. Most of the rise is due to increased spending on drugs that cost $1,000 or more a month, several of which came on the market in the last couple of years, according to the Inspector General. Just 10 drugs accounted for a third of Part D catastrophic-coverage drug spending in 2015. Changes in how the drugs are taken by consumers have also left the catastrophic program with higher costs. About a decade ago, prescription spending slowed as more generic products came on the market and fewer new blockbuster drugs were introduced. Until a few years ago, many of the most expensive medications were not available in tablet form, according to Juliette Cubanski, associate director of Medicare policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. "As more of these specialty drugs become available in [tablet] form, they are more likely to be covered under Medicare part D," notes Cubanski. "And that means the cost of these drugs is covered the way that other, less expensive medications are [also] covered by Medicare."

Lady Devils advance to post-season volleyball play
The Mathews High School varsity volleyball team completed its regular season last Thursday, sweeping Middlesex in three straight sets to post a perfect 8-0 Tidewater District record. The team has a 20-3 overall record, with no losses to single-A competitors.
Because of Hurricane Sandy, Tuesday’s district tournament opener was postponed and the entire tournament will be held tonight at Mathews High School. The Lady Devils will face West Point in the first round at 4 p.m. The other semifinal match will feature second-seed King William against #3 Middlesex at approximately 5:30. The championship will immediately follow that match, with the presentation of district honors after.
Regardless of the outcome, Mathews will host the first round of the Region A tournament at 7 p.m. Monday against an as-yet-to-be-determined opponent. If the Lady Devils win, they will host the Region A finals next Wednesday, Nov. 7.
In last week’s regular season finale, the Lady Devils didn’t waste any time proving their dominance over the home-standing Chargers. The Devils took the first set, only allowing the Chargers to get 10 points. That’s as far as the Chargers would get, scoring 10 again in the second set, and just eight points in the third.

Panga Review - A Delightful Tale of A Comeback
I went to Panga, expecting another raging film about women empowerment with repeating scenes with all possible cliches of sports genre. And I was largely surprised by the subtlety with which Ashwini Iyer Tiwary presents her conflicts. The film belongs to the club of little films about women wanting to make their dreams alive. We have seen English Vinglish, Tumhari Sulu. And Panga brings a whole new flavour with an interesting clash of backdrops - Household, Railways and Kabbadi.
Panga, in its core, is about a woman in her 32 trying to make a comeback in her passion, Kabbadi. She is married. She has a son who needs health care. She chooses her quit long back for the sake of her family. And when she finds her track back, what happens forms the rest of the film. Nothing reeks cliche here.
Even the most formulaic trait like when family finds it problematic, the event is built around how the father messes up son's makeup in an annual day competition. We expect the son to fire back when the mother calls to happily tell him about her selection in the team. Instead, we get the son cheering up for her. This sort of liveliness is the biggest strength of the film.
The biggest beauty of the film is how no men or for the matter of fact, none of the characters in the film are demonized to glorify or extract sympathy towards Jaya Nigam, Kangana's character. The incredibly brilliant non-judgmental writing is a treat to watch. When press asks her about the family pressure being the reason to take a gap, Jaya replies back telling that it is family pressure that brought her back to her dreams.
The sequences flow organically. Initially Jaya agrees to practice just to convince her son. The scenes involving the little son parading the couple to exercise every morning is funny yet it gradually lands the screenplay on a point where Jaya picks it up as her interest. The scene where she tells that when she looks at her husband and her son, she feels happy but when she looks at herself, she feels empty and lost works impactfully. And Kangana is terrific in all these moments!
She brings in the quirkiness and naivety of the small-town woman with so much ease and charm. The family set-up looks warmer and rooted because the casting and portrayal comes across with genuine connect. Neena Gupta is magical. Jassi Gill plays his part beautifully. But the killer kickass performance is from Richa Chadda. Her scenes come up like a live wire on fire.
From Shankar Ehsaan Loy's music to Sanchit & Ankit's score.. from Jay I Patel's cinematography to Ballu Saluja's editing, everything elevates the translation from paper to screen. And when the big win happens, the film leaves you wanting more, in a good sense. And that's when you know the magic of such little films!
Bottomline: Ashwini Iyer Tiwari's 'Panga' is a delightful tale of a woman finding her passion again. Kangana strikes it again and the stunner aspect of the film is it is devoid of the genre cliches and presents a family set-up where the characters are organic and genuinely real.
