Review Mass Effect 3: Citadel DLC
Citadel, Mass Effect 3’s fourth and final single player DLC surpasses all expansions that have come before it not only for Commander Shepard’s third adventure but throughout the trilogy. With broader ambition and larger scope than either the formidable Lair of the Shadow Broker or Omega DLCs before it Citadel is unashamedly a love letter to fans – and this is a very good thing.
The main story of Citadel revolves around a sinister plot to kill Shepard and co. orchestrated by one of Cerberus’s experiments, the precise nature of which will not be spoiled here, suffice it to say the nature of the threat opposing the first human Spectre and his/her team is quite unexpected.
Chasing down this threat will lead you through new areas of the Citadel and force you to face new enemies known as Cat6, a band of mercenaries who have advanced weapons including a pistol – the M-11 Suppressor – that packs an usually powerful punch. The Cat6 soldiers also seem tougher than the average foes taking quite a lot of thermal clips to put down.
Citadel also exposes new and different versions of important events in the Mass Effect universe as Shepard chases his/her foe through the station’s archives casting a new light on major events, including the genophage – the genetic weapon used to sterilise much of the krogan race.
Despite this the main story line of Citadel is perhaps more Leviathan than Lair of the Shadow Broker in terms of narrative cohesion and tension with an average plot that feels at times to linger too long in certain places. For example, there’s a party relatively early on in which Shepard is forced to repeatedly mingle with guests in between the Commander’s awkward attempts at stealth infiltration.
The real joy of Citadel though isn’t the main story itself, which would have been a reasonably solid addition to the series by itself, the allure of this DLC is spending more time with your squad, both Mass Effect 3’s and its predecessors. Urdnot Wrex, a popular character since the first game, can join your squad for Citadel’s missions while the remainder of Shepard’s team are unlockable characters for fight in Armex Arsenal Arena.
This special area allows for gamers to challenge enemies such as the geth but stands apart from the game’s co-operative multiplayer in that it Shepard and his/her crew are the participants while you can select all new maps never seen before in the series and set course modifiers such as not having medigel. The goal of this mode is simple, to score points, these allow you to unlock new enemies, maps and squadmates.
One of Citadel’s outstanding features however is the superbly witty dialogue which pokes fun at Shepard’s notorious ‘I should go’ line as well Garrus’s calibrations and Liara’s ‘by the Goddess’. While a volus pizza delivery boy is simply hilarious. It’s these neat writing touches that add so much to this DLC, the dialogue between the cast alone is almost worth the asking price.
Citadel also makes tremendous tribute to the past games in the series and offers cameos from Francis Kitt, the creator of Elcor Hamlet in Mass Effect, as well as Patriarch, Aria’s pet krogan in Mass Effect 2. Even Blasto, yes the Blasto, makes a special appearance.
As much as the appearance of these characters is a charming piece of fan service the real joy of Citadel is spending time with your squad, especially the team from Mass Effect 2 – who some feel were shunted in the series’ third installment. David Anderson gifts Shepard his apartment and this allows the Commander to host a party to which virtually every major character can be invited.
It also means Shepard can reignite old romances. Shepard will wake the morning after the party with your love interest lying beside him, you can then invite each squadmate, including whichever character you’ve romanced to the apartment separately and it’s to BioWare’s credit that they realised that perhaps this wasn’t enough and you can meet your friends and the characters you’ve come to know and love (or loathe) one more time on Silversun Strip, the new area that Citadel unlocks and can be visited as often as you like.
Citadel, as a final sendoff for Commander Shepard and a piece of loving fan tribute raises the bar in every way. The time and effort poured into this DLC is obvious in a way it usually isn’t in such expansions and while Citadel may be one of the more expensive DLCs out there ($15), it’s worth every penny to have one last hurrah with the Mass Effect trilogy’s cast.
Citadel, in short, is what DLC should be. Horse armour it ain’t.

Safeguard Millennium goals say anti-poverty campaigners
16 Oct 2008
Anti-poverty campaigners from 19 countries have jointly urged the global community to remain committed to the UN Millennium Development Goals – despite the mounting financial crisis.
The group – who are some of the world’s leading experts in poverty research – made the declaration during a summit at The University of Manchester today (16 October).
The strongly worded statement agreed by 31 campaigners based equally in developing and developed countries coincides with International Poverty Day.
The eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals form a blueprint agreed by all the world’s countries leading development institutions.
They range from halving extreme poverty, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education. All have a target date of 2015.
Professor Michael Woolcock, Research Director of the University’s Brooks World Poverty Institute which organised the summit said: “At a time when rich nations grapple with financial turmoil we must not loose sight of the world’s nearly two billion poorest people who live on less than two dollars a day.
“These people are routinely exposed to diseases and violence; their lives, homes and livelihoods are uninsured, and vulnerable to take-over at any time by local elites, thugs, politicians or the police.
“They cannot exert their human rights; the only credit available to build a small business or pay for medical expenses will cost 200 per cent a year.
“They will watch their children die early and often for want of medical interventions that cost 50 cents.
“That is why we say meeting the Millennium Development Goals must remain a global priority.”
“On international poverty day, our common humanity demands that we work to establish a vibrant and inclusive global economy,
“But we must also redouble our efforts to work with poor people to ensure that they too live lives of dignity, opportunity and hope.”
The text in full:
Today is International Poverty Day, and at a time when the rich nations are grappling with intense financial turmoil, deep political tensions and rising energy costs it is not hard to forget the plight of the world’s three billion poorest people who live on less than $2.50 a day. The rich nations’ problems are crippling for their own citizens and communities, but the consequences of these problems extend around the globe, and should remind us that poor people live with far worse circumstances every day. A financial crisis in the rich world threatens to usher in an extended recession, bringing about falling home prices, rising bankruptcies, dwindling retirement savings and a narrowing of employment options. But for the world’s poorest people, living in even a booming regional economy can mean that their meagre houses are demolished (to make way for new office buildings), that food and fuel prices rise beyond their capacity to provide a single meal a day, and that their traditional livelihoods are replaced by jobs in far away places requiring skills they do not possess.
The situation for the poor is far worse in stagnant or collapsed economies, which are common in developing countries. Here, poor people, if they can find work at all, will earn less than a dollar day; they will be routinely exposed to diseases and violence; their lives, homes and livelihoods will be uninsured, and vulnerable to takeover at any time by local elites, thugs, politicians or the police; they will be unable to exert their human rights; they will be denied citizenship and basic social justice because they lack the documentation to prove who they are; the only credit available to build a small business or pay for medical expenses will cost 200% a year; and they will watch their children die early and often for want of medical interventions that cost 50 cents.
Meeting the Millennium Development Goals must remain a global priority, despite the rising pressures to turn inwards. We live in an interconnected world, one in which the hopes, choices and aspirations of all are increasingly bound together. As important and widespread as the rich world’s current problems are, the greatest burdens will ultimately be borne by those least well placed to do so: the millions of poor people in rich countries, and especially the billions of poor people in low-income countries. On international poverty day, our common humanity demands that we work to establish a vibrant and inclusive global economy, while also redoubling our efforts to work with poor people to ensure that they too live lives of dignity, opportunity and hope.

Fiat's first agricultural tractor was presented to the civil and military authorities of Turin in 1918 and marketed the following year by the Federation of Agricultural Consortia. This book uses original photographic documentation to illustrate the origins and development of the company's agricultural products, tackling the technical and human aspects of a story that has seen the introduction of more than 500 models since 1918. This is the first comprehensive study of the Turin-based firm's history in the agricultural sector. This updated edition includes all the New Holland new series presented from 2008 up to 2011.
A classic farm tractor is a conversation starter and a comforting reminder of childhoods on the farm and adulthoods twisting a wrench in the driveshaft. Tractors are cultural touchstones of another era, as familiar as the smell of apple pie baking in a farmhouse kitchen. All of that nostalgia is here in Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors.
In this photo-saturated guidebook, you'll recognize the big brands of classic farm tractors, such as Allis-Chalmers, J. I. Case, Caterpillar, John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester (including Farmall). Also well-represented are small and no-longer-existing brands such as Advance-Rumely, Cockshutt, Eagle, Fate-Root-Heath, Harry Ferguson, Friday Tractor, Hart-Parr, and Minneapolis-Moline. There are tractors from the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors includes more than just handsome color photos of these powerful machines. Each model description includes all the pertinent details: engine rpms, type of fuel, maximum speed, wheel configurations, weight, number of plows the tractor can handle, and variations.
With more than 500 tractor models and an array of color photographs depicting the most iconic ones, Field Guide to Classic Farm Tractors will be a valued addition to any tractor lover's bookshelf.
This classic guide presents practical information on virtually every aspect of farm equipment, machinery, and organization. Originally published in 1917, Handy Farm Equipment and How to Use It surveys every topic of importance to the challenge of equipping a successful and fully functional farm, including lighting the farm home, establishing sources of water, and arranging for sewage disposal for the farmhouse. Additional sections provide detailed discussions of such indispensable examples of farm equipment as tillage tools, seeding machinery, manure spreaders, grain binders, and corn harvesters.
Fully illustrated throughout with drawings, diagrams, plans, and photographs, Handy Farm Equipment and How to Use It will prove as interesting to the current farmer for its still-prudent advice on the timeless problems of farm management as it will to the history buff who wishes to catch an image of what the American farm was like at the beginning of the 20th century. It provides a lovely foray into the rich legacy of American agriculture and will appeal to anyone who has ever been interested in the nuts and bolts of farm life.
How to Restore Tractor Magnetos is the essential guide to farm tractor electrical systems and offers the tractor restorer all the information needed to restore, repair and diagnose magnetos. Authored by the late Neil Yerigan, who was a master of working with vintage electronics, the book comprehensively covers how magnetos function as well as how to troubleshoot and repair common problems. The fine art of nondestructive disassembly is covered in detail and is a key ingredient to keeping your magneto (and your tractor) happy and running.
Now back in print, How to Restore Tractor Magnetos includes sections on the most common magnetos, including those made by Wico, American Bosch, International Harvester, Fairbanks-Morse, Case, Eisemann and more. Also included are voltage regulator field repair and testing, electric starter motors, and wiring advice. Yerigan augments the book's technical detail with anecdotes about the trials and tribulations of day-to-day life in his state-of-the-art (for 1936) south Minneapolis electrical repair shop.
John Deere Tractor Moldboard and Disk Plows provides technical information on all John Deere moldboard and disk plows manufactured in the New Generation Era, from 1960 to 1990. In it, you’ll find such facts as the year built, plow type, wheel types available, hitch types, as well as comments and identifying features for each plow. The book also covers information on plow attachments, painting a plow, preparing a plow for plowing and storage, and more!
Noted photographer Andrew Morland presents more than 650 photographs of tractors from the USA, Canada, Europe and Japan, including models from the 1880's to today. Features everything from John Deere, Farmall, Ford, Case and Caterpillar to some interesting and uncommon tractors that you've never seen before.
Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the Massey-Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and became massively popular worldwide. Its companion, the 65 model, was introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse gears. Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices. Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail, continues the story as he describes the development of these models, the production versions and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements, and their use today. Outstanding surviving examples are featured in some 80 photographs specially taken for this book, and there are approximately 120 accompanying archive illustrations.
This high-quality set of 24 greeting cards features photographs of six different red tractors, from the iconic Farmall to the last of the cutting edge 2+2 four-wheel-drive tractors built by International Harvester. The cards are perfect for the holidays, but are blank inside so you can send them for any occasion. Gorgeous photographs by Lee Klancher show off the machines in the early morning sun and evening skies. The images are printed on heavyweight high-quality card stock, and you'll find additional photos of the machines and a detailed caption on the back.
Cards in the set show the following models: Farmall M, International 7488, International Cub Lo-Boy, International 1420 combine, International 404, and International 664.
The Red Tractors and Combines Book Gift Set takes you behind the scenes of the famous International Harvester tractors. Follow photographer and author Lee Klancher as he covers the entire line of red combines in Red Combines 1915-2015, unearths a treasure trove of concept drawings and photos of prototype machines in Red Tractors 1958-2018, and much more! This two-book gift set will provide hours of entertainment for the tractor lover in your life!
The Red Tractors, Combines, and 4WD Book Gift Set is the perfect gift for the tractor-loving person in your family! This gift set includes three books, Red Tractors 1958-2018, Red Combines 1915-2015, and Red 4WD Tractors 1957-2017. Read about everything from the innovations and struggles of the final days of International Harvester to the story of how the Axial-Flow combine was created. Packed full of information about the tractors, combines, and 4WDs made by International Harvester, this collection will teach you the history of your favorite red tractors in no time!
Compiled by Machinery Pete, the Rust Book is the No. 1 source for actual auction prices on antique machinery manufactured between the 1920s and 1970s. It includes sales results on nearly 10,000 vintage tractors, implements and trucks, including a complete list of serial numbers and tractor test results. It gives specific information on the model number sold, the area it was sold, the condition of the equipment and any extra comments that contributed to the sale price. Includes lesser-known classics as well as John Deere, Farmall, Oliver, Allis-Chalmers, etc.
John Deere’s most famous and fascinating machines are presented as they’ve never been presented before: in a studio, photographed against plain seamless backdrops. The result is a superb collection of unprecedented photographs celebrating every detail of the tractors considered to be icons of industrial design.
From the spartan Waterloo Boy to the streamlining triumph of the Model AOS, from German and Argentine models to the much vaunted New Generation tractors, photographer and author Lee Klancher delves into the renowned Keller Collection to bring Deere fans an utterly unique look at the objects of their passion. Thirty tractors are presented in beautiful full-tractor shots and detail views that highlight notable engineering and design elements. Accompanying the photography are detailed captions, the stories behind the models shown, and the history of John Deere design evolution, particularly the influence of renowned industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. A John Deere book like no other, sure to captivate those who bleed Green.

Red Seas Under Red Skies begins two years after the conclusion of Lies. This time Locke and Jean have set their sites on robbing Sinspire, the impenetrable casino in Tal Verrar. Their plans, however, get sidetracked when they become unwilling pawns for the head of the city's military force; who wants to ensure his position's relevance going forward, and needs Locke's and Jean's skills for creating mayhem and discord in order to do that.
There are enough plots and subplots in this one to keep you on your toes till the end, and the number of aliases used by both Locke and Jean are nearly enough to require a cheat sheet at times. But as convoluted as things tend to get before Lynch deftly unravel them at the end, the story is as entertaining as you could hope for it to be.
The next book in the series (and the last one written so far), The Republic of Thieves sits appetizingly on my bookshelf right now. I'm anxious to pick it up, as Lynch left a critical thread untied at the conclusion of this one, and I'm anxious to see it resolved. But I plan to wait till I know book IV is coming, so I'll have something solid to look forward to. Otherwise the wait becomes intolerable.

Do you need a low stress way to include seven minutes of creative contemplation into your week? Consider this your helpful nudge towards a slightly more creative life. If it helps, come back every week for a quick hit of creative contemplation. Each week I’ll share a new nudge. It will include a Thing (T), a Place (P), and a Sense(S) for your focus, a TPS creative nudge.
Last week we entertained ourselves with the creative possibilities found inside a recycled grocery bag. How did it feel to look beyond it’s mere storage capacity? Perhaps you made a belt or similar accessory for this week’s wardrobe to celebrate recycling and reuse. Maybe the non-diegetic sounds you made mashing and twisting a few plastic bags together transported you to that long running television series in your head, starring you!
For this week’s creative nudge, you will need to reach a little. Not a lot. Based on research I’ve made up to support this statement, about 40% of all creative ideas begin in the bathroom. So you should have this week’s creative object close at hand: a roll of toilet paper. Constructed from soft fibers, meticulously woven to provide comfort and cleanliness, toilet paper's story extends beyond utility. Just knowing it is there can put our minds at ease. In 2020, a six pack of this stuff was more valuable than an artisanal IPA, and few things told a person you cared about them like leaving a roll or two on their front porch.
Consider some parallels between toilet paper and a recyclable grocery bag. Both raise questions about their composition, environmental impact, and the potential for repurposing. Just as before, we can find opportunities to transform and reimagine toilet paper for several minutes of creative contemplation.
Begin by picking up a toilet paper roll, or tear off a few squares, and experience its texture beneath your fingertips. Notice the subtle patterns, and the intricate details of its construction. Consider the materials that compose this essential product. When ready, find a place of peace and solitude. Remember not to force your creative output, then consider one or more of these activities:
- New Perspective: Take a length of toilet paper and look through it to soften your gaze. Or peer through the roll’s center and observe the telescoped view it provides. As the world transforms before you, ponder how such a shift in perspective can inspire new creative insights. Sketch what you see.
- Creative Descriptors: Reflect on the adjectives commonly used in toilet paper marketing—words like "gentle," "soft," and "luxurious." Use these adjectives to describe various moments of your life or products you buy.
- Reshape and Reform: Dissolve a small piece of toilet paper in water, allow the paper to disintegrate, observing the transformation. Once fully dissolved, gently sift the mixture onto a fine mesh screen and dry out to create a new textured material.
- TP Party with You: String the rolls as streamers, drawing on them or stamping designs. Toss that toilet paper into vibrant random patterns, reimagining its purpose in a playful and imaginative way.
As we navigate the tactile terrain of toilet paper, we unveil the layers of meaning and potential within everyday objects. By engaging with our senses, we not only connect with the physical attributes of the material but also unlock memories and creative pathways that broaden our perspectives. From functionality to playfulness, toilet paper invites us to discover the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Color Swing is an “on the fly” detection system of the colour of surfaces, which reacts with a light feedback in the environment: objects in the room become tangible interfaces
and at the same time they influence their surroundings through their colour.
The colour information of an object is read by the sensor and then transmitted to the environment: the system processes the information of the objects beneath, with a spontaneous interaction, and expresses in the environment the detected colour.
The essence of the installation is a small cylindrical pendant light with the interface on its bottom, which can change colour instantly when crosses a coloured object below or
by simply oscillating in a colourful environment.

Omega 3 fats are essential for us. Since our body can not produce it, we need to ensure adequate intake through diet or supplements to reap the health benefits.
Omega-3 fats can help raise good HDL cholesterol levels and reduce risk factors for heart disease.
EPA and DHA, present in Omega-3 fats, are known for their potent antioxidant action on free radicals.
Omega-3 foods and fish oil supplements have been shown to relieve joint pain and post-workout muscle soreness.
Adequate omega-3 intake is linked with a reduced risk of macular degeneration.
Low DHA levels can result in low levels of the sleep hormone - melatonin.
Omega-3 intake keeps our skin hydrated and may prevent acne.
Optimal omega-3 intake may help reduce the risk of mental disorders like anxiety and depression.

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Review
trim levels & features
The LS and LT models come standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (275 hp 295 lb-ft), but they can be equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 (335 hp, 284 lb-ft). The 1LS and 2LT come standard with the six-speed manual transmission while the 1LT has an eight-speed automatic. Like all Camaros, the LS and LT models are rear-wheel-drive.
Standard equipment on the base 1LS includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED running lights, a limited-slip differential (with the manual transmission), a rearview camera, keyless ignition and entry, power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and adjustable driving modes. Technology equipment includes Bluetooth, OnStar emergency communications, 4G LTE Wi-Fi connectivity, a 7-inch touchscreen (Chevy's MyLink interface), Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
Additional gear on the 1LT includes remote start, the aforementioned automatic transmission and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The available Technology package adds a nine-speaker Bose audio system and an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen to the 1LS and 1LT.
The 2LT includes the Technology package's contents and adds dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. If you add the Convenience and Lighting package to the 2LT, you'll get heated and auto-dimming mirrors, rear parking sensors, driver memory functions, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
The RS package (available on 1LS, 1LT and 2LT) includes 20-inch wheels, xenon headlights, LED taillights, a special grille and a rear decklid spoiler. For the 1LS and 2LT, the 1LE Track Performance package (coupe only) adds the V6, the FE3 sport-tuned suspension from the SS, 20-inch forged alloy wheels, four-piston Brembo brakes, a mechanical limited-slip differential, a short-throw shifter, a track-cooling package, a dual-mode exhaust, special aerodynamic spoilers and a satin black hood. Recaro sport front seats can also be added to the 1LE package.
The 1SS basically gets the 1LT's equipment plus a 6.2-liter V8 (455 hp, 455 lb-ft), a six-speed manual transmission with rev-match downshift (an eight-speed automatic is optional), 20-inch wheels, the four-piston Brembo brakes, the FE3 sport-tuned suspension, a mechanical limited-slip differential, a Track driving mode, a rear spoiler, xenon headlights and upgraded gauges. The 2SS includes the 6.2-liter V8 and all the features from the 2LT trim, along with unique interior accents and the Convenience and Lighting package.
For the 1SS and 2SS, the SS 1LE Track Performance package adds six-piston Brembo brakes, the FE4 suspension with adaptive dampers, an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, different forged alloy wheels, upgraded performance tires, the Recaro sport seats and everything else included with the LT's 1LE package.
Finally, the Camaro ZL1 has a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (650 hp, 650 lb-ft), a six-speed manual transmission (a 10-speed automatic is optional) and launch control. All of the 2SS and SS 1LE extras, minus the cosmetic differences, are also included. The ZL1 1LE Extreme Track Performance package adds 19-inch forged aluminum wheels with wider tires, special race-oriented suspension dampers, a carbon-fiber hood and rear spoiler, and tinted taillights. With the ZL1 1LE package, a fixed rear seat is also available.
Other available extras include a sunroof, a performance exhaust (all V6- and V8-powered models), a navigation system (2LT, 2SS and ZL1 trims), and a Heavy Duty Cooling and Brake package (1LS, 1LT and 2LT).
NOTE: Since this test was conducted, the current Camaro has received only minor revisions. Our findings are applicable to the 2018 model.

The Army has said Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike is to blame for the deaths during the 2019 elections in Rivers State.
General Officer Commanding, 6 Division Maj.-Gen. Jamil Sarham, who testified before a joint National Assembly Committee on Army, headed by Rimande Shawulu, made the allegation.
A motion by Kingsley Chinda blamed the police, Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) and army for the death of two workers of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) – Ferry Gberegbe and Mrs Ibisaki Amachree.
According to Sarham, Wike personally led a convoy of about 40 vehicles, carrying people who were shooting into the crowd with the intent to blame the Army for any casualty.
The lawmakers told the army representative that the investigation was to determine the causes of the death of victims and ask about the role of the army during the elections in Rivers State.
Sarham said: “Kurumi was killed on February 23 and the soldiers were killed on March 2. No other person than the Executive Governor of Rivers State led a convoy of more than 40 vehicles to attack a collation centre and shot at Salami, manhandled Corporal Abiodun at Obio Akpor council. We have complained to the police and it is well-documented.
“The soldiers who were at the outer cordon were supposed to stop anybody coming to either harm the voters or disrupt the polling. Kurumi tried to enforce that but unknown to him, there were other people with different agenda hidden there and they snuffed life out of him.
“He was quite professional. He restrained himself and restrained his men from taking any untoward action that would affect other people around the general area. When that failed, tension built up.
“Operation Save Conduct is designed, like the position paper has said, to assist the Police and INEC conduct the 2019 election. It was in support of the Police. Everything, every action taken as far as Army and Save in particular, was aimed at helping the Police.
“In Rivers State, there were plethora of series of uniforms; in particular, that incident I think the Army intelligence are still investigating to find out if actually they are men of the Nigerian Army who took part in that operation.
“The police called us and we assisted, saying “if there is an incident in a particular gentleman’s house, of course, we must have gone there together with the police.”
Sarham insisted that the Army did not arrest or detain anyone.
“Nobody was kept in the Bori Camp for nine days, apart from the people who were directly responsible for killing Lieutenant Kurumi. There were actually people in Rivers State who were responsible for the killing an officer and three soldiers during that election…”

When the members of Fairy Tail aren't destroying towns or defeating powerful foes, they're attending school, travelling back in time, visiting water parks, and taking on odd jobs from strange clients. No matter where they go, a fun adventure always awaits, sometimes in the most unexpected form!
Get ready to have some fun with some of our favorite friends from one of the most prominent guilds in all of Earth Land. From the same series that has been running for over two years, Fairy Tail's author Hiro Mashima here brings fourth not 1, not two, not even 3, not 4, but 5 OVAs.
Fairy Tail: Youkoso Fairy Hills! is a series of special episodes 26th, 27th and 31st volumes of the manga. If you're a faithful fan of FT, then you're in the right place. The four episodes incorporated does not much have story by themselves but they do have one thing: entertainment.
Hell, most people who've seen the original series would know that Fairy Tail is one of few series in the anime industry that has watchable fillers. And of course, these OVA episodes are watchable as well.
That's right, Fairy Tail isn't always about battles but sometimes is about fun, fun..and fun.
These five OVAs are standalone episodes that are nonlinear. In other words, there is no direct story or expansion from one episode to the next from this bundle. Don't face palm yourself yet though because they all are all amusing to watch in a variety of reasons. In fact, comedy is one of Fairy Tail's greatest aspects and it shines through in these episodes. (only in terms of comedy though...not else worth more adding)
The OVA themselves contains characters from the original series consisting of Team Natsu -
The outgoing Lucy
The over hyperactive Natsu
The naked Gray
The tough and boss Erza "Titania" Scarlet
All of them get their moments in these episodes ranging from being a bunny girl, wearing a cat/neko costume, the school uniforms, being a kid all over again, and beach fan-service. Speaking of which, the fan-service does shoot off the charts occasionally in these episodes. Unlike ecchi series though, they are for comedic purposes. Like I said before, Fairy Tail brings out laughter, fun, and entertainment rather than the typical "accidental shower walk-ins".
The Fairy Tail atmosphere is still there though with some action scenes and the OST. Hiro Mashima likes to play with some of his typical battle shounen scenes often from the original series. In these short episodes, he brings out his skills of creating humor and that he did quite so-so from my perspective. It's a welcoming aspect from the original series that has high levels of energy to induce entertainment rather than the more serious fighting scenes anime fans watches in so many long running shounen today. It's not something serious to take into light.
The artwork of the series remains generally the same. Beyond the fan-service, the characters are drawn like from the original series with similar edges, proportions (including those boobs), and backgrounds. It's sort of like the typical shounen artwork you see in many of today's anime series. Fairy Tail doesn't have the best art but it gets the point across.
The soundtrack of the OVAs remains generally the same although two different OP and ED songs are used. Aya Hirano and Tetsuya Kakihara does their roles and gives their songs a magical rhythm . It's not too exciting but it gets to the point that reflects on the FT atmosphere.
All in all, these Fairy Tail OVAs are a fun watch. Don't take it serious. Just don't. If you do, you won't enjoy this as much as some other fans. The original main characters return in this so it makes it worthwhile to watch them all have their fun, awkward, and entertaining moments.
If you're having a bad day, watch this to brighten it up.
If you're bored with your life, watch this to make your life more fun.
If you're tired of waiting for the latest FT episode from the original series, watch this to pass some time.
If you're frustrated about today's other onsen/"beach" OVAs in other anime series, watch this to laugh at them
If you want to just enjoy some typical Fairy Tail entertainment, watch this to appreciate.
Ultimately though, these OVA episodes connected together are just of something amusing to watch but don't expect much out of it, even if the above are how you felt before watching.
These OVAs are-for what they're trying to do-great. There certainly isn't anything groundbreaking, or anything that will keep you thinking about it days or weeks later, but it is solidly Fairy Tail. If you like the fan service in Fairy Tail, you will love these (especially the first, fourth, and last). If you like the humor in Fairy Tail, you will love these.
Basically, these are slightly longer filler episodes, with the second one an AU setting (they're all in high school, without any magic) and the third one a nifty little time-traveling adventure, which also managed to squeeze in a little character development.
and sound weren't anything memorable, but didn't distract by being terrible either. Very middle ground in my opinion. The story, being filler episodes, was a way to throw in jokes they probably couldn't fit into the main show.
TL;DR-If you like Fairy Tail, watch these. If you didn't, don't.
Well,(this is about OVA number1) an OVA filled with fan service, and Fairy Tail comedy
a story/quest slapped around it,
but to be honest not very exciting just fun to watch.
I noticed the OP theme song was sung by Natsu's voice actor (not sure)
and the ED theme song by Lucy's voice actress (also not sure)
but am I the only one missing something,
I personally think an OVA is the perfect chance to take a series
to another setting or
use experimental visuals or
explore an unknown character
but at least it was better than High school of the Dead OVA
Update: Just saw the second OVA and in my humble opinion
it is even worse then the first one;
This second OVA deals with fairy tail in a new (ahum ahum) setting a.k.a High School.
Now this did not work for me, if I want to C slice of life or Seitokai situations I will watch other series I love Fairy Tail the series because it is a action packed/funny series witch moves slowly and has a bit of depth,+ great voice acting
I found none of these qualities in the Ova's,
this second one has no story/no witty dialogue a few seconds of Erza fan service and a lot of BS,
it was the first time for me to get annoyed while watching Fairy Tail...
OP/ED is again song by the voice actors of Natsu (OP) and Lucy (ED)
So initially I gave these a 7 but now,well
the series itself on the other hand is still going strong
Seeing Happy pissed was fantastic:)
Some of the funniest lols you'll see in a long time. Kind of like taking all the small gags over 40 episodes, and lumping them together into two OVA's. WIN!
I love the in-OVA jokes (Aries, and Happy + Charles in second OVA) and that FT isn't afraid to poke fun at itself. A certain moment in OVA 2 involving three guys + Erza did a lot to lighten my feelings towards recent storylines in the FT anime.
The first OVA is a bit up and down in the funny stakes in comparison to the second, but still had me crying with laughter. Both OVA's are a
bit coarser than usual (nudity, nosebleeds) but always relevant. Suprisingly moving towards the end, which shouldn't really be suprising considering that FT has done that before.
The second OVA is my favourite for the sheer amount of FT gags in an alternate universe. No real magic in this world? No problem! Special props to whoever came up Gray and Natsu's "magic power" substitutes.

I know how to become small.
It was a surprisingly easy skill to learn.
It never mattered what I’d done wrong. One time I accidentally hung up on two people, my friend and his friend, while on the phone and using call waiting for the first time.
Another time I walked home from school, just as I did every day. Not knowing that he’d left work early to pick me up.
The first pang of dread is my cue. Thorny vines of panic that snake their way up from my gut because I made a mistake.
Because I didn’t know what to expect or how bad it would be.
Because I knew if it got bad, my mother would intervene.
I remained rooted in place while she tried to redirect him. To earn the brunt of his anger for me. For her kids.
While I became small.
I feel my face slacken. Wiped of any expression. I feel myself retreat behind my eyes. The eyes show everything. I know because he’d scream at me of what he saw there sometimes. Emotions I couldn’t label. Plots I never thought to devise. But he swore he saw them.
In my mind, I back away slowly. Whatever there is of me inside my body – my personality, my soul – slinks into a corner. Soundlessly. As if even that he’ll hear.
On almost every block, in every city, is that house. The one that hasn’t yet fallen into total disrepair, but is rumored to be abandoned. You walk by and see a faint flutter of curtains. The echo of someone who had been standing there, watching the world go by, and retreated into the darkness, startled.
I’m the echo behind my own eyes.
Once my face and eyes are deadened, I find a spot on which to focus. It’s always down. I don’t turn my head down, because any movement draws attention. Just my eyes cast downward.
In the throes of childbirth, they advise women to find a spot on which to focus. I found it impossible. Hurricane-force emotions blow through you. Pain and elation and the noise and the encouragement. All the worry. I could never keep my eyes on just one spot in the midst of all that.
But when I’m becoming small, I can stare for hours. An earthquake couldn’t pull my eyes away. I can be grabbed and shaken, pushed or pulled, slapped and berated. My eyes won’t move.
I’ve tested that assertion.
Downcast and focused. To keep it from getting worse.
Rivers of tears can pool in my lower eye lids without breaching the banks. I watch from where I’ve retreated inside myself. They shimmer, as if silver fish flash beneath the surface of the water on a sunny day. Despite the darkness from which I watch. It’s beautiful and distracting, sucking up all my nervous energy and soothing it with the gentle rhythm of its ebb and flow.
I focus on the way the tears make the world around me waver. They become a shield and every nerve, every cell in my body, becomes tense with the force it takes to control them.
It’s a magic act. You still see me, but I promise you . . . I’m not there.
I became small.
The fear I face now is that I’ll disappear.
2 thoughts on “I Don’t Want to Disappear”
I’ve been here, with you. Small. Starting at one spot. Your words, I feel as if we were one soul at the same time.
I’m not glad you felt this way, too. But I am glad you found a kindred soul here. 🙂

Tens of thousands of people poured through the centres of London, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast on Friday, united in their rejection of the visit to Britain of the US president, Donald Trump, who admitted the protests had made him feel unwelcome.
There was a carnival atmosphere with music, dancing, the bashing of pots and pans and a forest of often witty, sometimes crude placards. The tone was set in London by a four-metre-high orange Trump baby blimp that was floated above Parliament Square, and placards with slogans such as “No Fan of Fake Tan Man”, “How Dare You Combover here” and “Free Melania”. But there was anger too at what many perceived as Trump’s racism, misogyny and climate change policy.
The former deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg, and the current and former Labour leaders Jeremy Corbyn and Ed Miliband joined the protesters in the capital who numbered more than 100,000, according to the organisers of two marches that converged on Trafalgar Square.
Corbyn attacked the US president for his comments on Thursday that Boris Johnson would “make a great prime minister”, saying it was “not his business who the British prime minister is”.
Addressing a packed square, Corbyn said: “We are asserting our rights to democracy, our rights to freedom of speech and our rights to want a world that is not divided by misogyny, racism and hate.”
Miliband tweeted a suggested response for Theresa May to use in her press conference with Trump:
Among the Americans who turned out was Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for the US adult film star Stormy Daniels, who alleges she had an affair with Trump. Avenatti said he was there to send a message to “our brothers and sisters here in the UK and around the world that ... there’s millions of Americans that are outraged by his conduct and by his behaviour.”
In Soho in London, a group of house music DJs including A Guy Called Gerald performed on a giant sound system under the banner “No to Brexit, no to Trump, no to Theresa May”. The actor Laura Carmichael, who played Lady Edith Crawley in Downton Abbey, held an “End Violence Against Women” banner.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside City Hall in Belfast and thousands gathered at George Square in Glasgow.
Among them were Roberta Logan, 32, and her sons Magnus, six, and Aidan, three. “It felt important to bring them today to teach them to stand up against things that are wrong,” Logan said.

I have been collecting vintage clothing in some form or another since I was in high school. I’ve always loved clothing from different eras because it was different from trendy modern clothing. I started off buying exclusively 20s, I bought pretty much anything I could find and afford. After a while, I opened myself up to other decades to come where I am today, which is pretty much open to clothing of any era, but my favorite is the late 30s and early 40s.
There was a time when I spent a lot of money on beautiful but highly impractical vintage, the sort of stuff that looks great in a box, but is far to delicate to wear in real life, too impractical or too costume-y ( I’m not exactly going to wear a 1910s gown to go pick up groceries at Trader Joes!) Even if the expensive things were slightly more practical side, like 1920s/30s beach pajamas, where REALLY are you going to wear them? The beach? I might live in Los Angeles, but I NEVER go to the beach, and even if I did, I don’t think I would wear rare, valuable beach pajamas…so they just sit in my closet looking pretty, I think I have only worn them to a handful of vintage events.
Today, I think I am probably the most practical I have ever been. I am at an age now where I have really honed in on what I like and what is practical, as for the other stuff, unless its a REALLY good price, I pass it by. If I am going to spend money on vintage today, it has to be a yes to all these questions.
1. Is it something that is sturdy enough to be worn and worn on multiple occasions?
Ask yourself: Is it a strong fabric like rayon, cotton, or a synthetic, or is it silk? Vintage silk, especially from pre-1940 is NOT practical, especially chiffon. You buy this and are looking to wear it, you are potentially asking for trouble. Either stay away from silk or approach it with extreme caution.
2. Is it something unique?
Unique vintage is worth spending money on. If it is a piece that is one of a kind that you will never see again and its at a price you can afford, go for it. What you want to avoid is spending your money on less then stellar pieces that you might tire of quickly Choose pieces you will treasure, don’t buy something that is just Okay, even if it is at a good price.
3. Is the item worth the price?
Granted, vintage is expensive, but some sellers inflate the price more then what a piece is actually worth. If you see a piece that you really like with a very high asking price, ask yourself, is it worth it? A seller can ask whatever they like for a vintage piece, but you have to make sure to be realistic, and ask yourself, is this piece worth it to me to pay THIS much money.
4. Does it fit?
This is really important for two reasons. If you buy a piece that is too big, keep in mind that alterations are expensive, if you buy a piece that is too small you run the risk of never being able to fit into it. Also keep in mind, altering a vintage piece too much might effect its retail value.
Have not come up with a name yet for this new dress from my line, but really loving it.Right now I am trying to develop some more every day dresses along with the embellished dresses. This colors and all is based on a 1938 junior miss color block dress dress. It is a rosy peach and a dusty lavender purple, I went to great lengths to find the fabric to match the original colors because I just loved the color combination. They just don’t combine colors together the way they used to!The shoulders have a slight pouf and the skirt has a lot of movement and swing to it, it ties back at the waist to cinch it in. I am wearing it with a late 1930s, early 1940s sunhat, 1940s sunglasses and silver shoes by Remix.
I am wearing an outfit that is a mix of eras. The bag and the brooch are by Chanel and are modern but classic, the dress is Mr. Blackwell from the early 1980s, the hat is from the late 40s and the shoes are 1940s as well. The dress has a very 1940s look to it, so it looks of that era. Usually I’m not a big fan of the 1980s, but this dress is classic and very comfortable being made out of rayon matte jersey. I am a huge fan of mixing eras, especially for everyday wear. When I first started collected vintage as a teenager, I was very concentrated on making everything from one or two eras ( the 1920s and 30s) which to me now seems kind of silly for myself unless you are doing active reenacting or going to a vintage themed event where it is totally understandable. I could put together a whole look of authentic 1920s, 1950s or whatever, but to me the challenge is making a good outfit, whether all from one era or different eras or all modern, the truth is, there was great fashion in every era, there is a lot of great fashion being put out today. You just have to know how to find it. I notice people sometimes get so serious about vintage clothing, but fashion of every era should be just one thing:fun, at least that’s the way I look at it.
Black late 1930s/early 1940s Dress- Consignment Shop in Northern California
1950s White marabou wrap: Ebay (I also wore this at my wedding)
Shoes: Remix ” Anitas”
So today I decided to go a bit formal with my blog outfit, this dress is one of the pieces I am selling. A couple of years ago I gained over thirty pounds because of a medication I was taking for fibro, now I am back to my normal size, but am left with a lot of beautiful vintage clothing that no longer fits. My closet is overflowing and my choice is either alter it or sell it/donate it/give it away. I choose the second options because I would rather get it out of my closet to someone who will love it then spend the money on alterations and alter a beautiful vintage piece. Hopefully this dress will go to someone out there who really loves it and will cherish it.

I made this Clemantis corsage the day before Easter and decided it went perfect with this mid-century hat. I am a big believer that the big, grand corsages that were worn in the 1930s-1950s need to make a come back, even if it is just silk flowers like mine is made from.

So, this dress isn’t Schiaparelli, but it sure looks like something she would make. This is starting with the shocking pink color ( her favorite) and the outrageous sleeves. As for this dress, its a beautiful taffeta. I’m almost sure this dress used to be an evening gown. Its a luscious moire taffeta. It hits me right at the knees, so either it was shortened in the 194os when this length was in vogue or it was chopped off for a very petite lady. The gown itself is from the ( I think) late 1930s which is pretty much my favorite years of all time for vintage and one I use to inspire many of my lines dresses.
I had initially ordered this dress for two reasons, one, I love the design and could think of a million places I could wear this dress, two, I think the design is very flattering and I’m going to use it ( perhaps tone down the sleeve drama just a tad) for one of my upcoming dresses.
I have not posted in several weeks due to my fashion line taking a back seat to a screenplay that I am developing that is taking the bulk of my time. This dress has one of my favorite color combos which was very popular during the 1950s, although through my line, I can any color combination of sea horse and dress you desire. The seahorses themselves were inspired by 1950s Chalkware seahorses, mermaids and other sea creatures that came to found in many a Mid Century home.
The dress itself comes is inspired by a piece I have from the early 1940s, with its full skirt it could also work for a 1950s look as well. I paired the dress with white Remix shoes in the style “Anita”
Here is one of several dragon dresses I will be introducing to my fashion line because well, I love dragons!
This crepe dress is based on a pattern from the 1940s, the dragon appliques are hand sewn and beaded. This dress can also be made in cotton twill, satin and velvet.
I paired it with a 1950s style purse, 1950s leather gloves, and a pair of shoes by Remix.
The first decade that I came to love when I started collecting vintage was the 1920s. I stopped collecting it for a while, but now I am rediscovering it again. My latest purchase is this satin mid-1920s coat. I paired it with a pair of “Grammercy” shoes by Remix Los Angeles, a mid-1920s dress, a modern turban and a silver mesh 1920s/1930s bag by Whiting and Davis.

PETALING JAYA: The influx of youths on the electoral roll is set to change the local political landscape.
For Barisan Nasional, its offer to youth voters goes beyond just the promise of fielding young candidates, as it is important to show the young that the coalition can offer a government that can be trusted to improve the economy.
ALSO READ: Youths want answers to complex issues
“It is also the prospect of a government that knows what it’s doing and can be trusted to improve the economic prospects of young people,” said Umno’s Information chief Shahril Hamdan.
“For example, under the current Barisan prime minister, we’ve had consecutive months of improving employment figures nationally.”
Shahril, who is also Umno Youth vice-chief, said Barisan’s manifesto for the 15th General Election (GE15) would reflect what the coalition wanted to do for young people’s incomes and earning prospects should it win.
“Youth votes are beyond just those aged between 18 and 21. It also includes those who were too young to vote in the 14th General Election or didn’t register in time but are in their mid to late 20s now.
ALSO READ: Youth political awareness on the rise
“The total figure of new voters is significant and in many cases more than the margin of victory in 2018,” he added.
MCA secretary-general Datuk Chong Sin Woon said youths make up a substantial number of new and young voters and political parties must not ignore these voices.
To understand and appeal to young minds, Chong said MCA’s youth wing had been working the ground through various initiatives in universities, sports and also esports.
To ensure MCA was in touch with today’s sentiments, he said the party had various young leaders holding leadership positions, and it was set to field more young candidates in GE15.
“As shown in Johor, two state exco members are youths. This is the reform that is needed to make this party younger and more vibrant,” said Chong.
Nevertheless, he said MCA had struck a balance in promoting youth leaders and also ensuring that senior leaders weren’t sidelined in the process.
“For example, seniors such as Tan Sri Liow Tiong Lai. We want him to contest. So that’s how we get a balanced team to serve everyone,” he said.
However, Chong noted that youths were particularly disinterested in politics, given the intricacies of national politics due to changing alliances.
“Some of those who just left school at 18, they cannot differentiate between parties. So there is a lot of confusion.
“Whether or not they will come out and vote, that is a lingering question,” he said.
However, MIC Youth chief K. Raven Kumar maintains that youths are still interested in politics.
“We can see how vocal they are on social media and it’s good and we welcome it,” he said.
He regards youths as a dynamic group and their needs differ across different segments of the social demography.
“The needs of youths in the city are different from the ones on the outskirts. But overall, they want a caring and stable government,” said Raven.


Astral Swans is Matthew Swann – a human song-maker specializing in abstract narratives of lonerism, frailty, absurdity, and whimsy, all told with darkly comedic empathy, and helpless concern.
After three and a half years of tours & covid tour interruptions, Astral Swans is back with his self titled record Astral Swans. For this album Swann almost exclusively composed the songs internally on solo walks throughout various cities around the world (pre-covid), and the same city over and over again (during covid). As Swann describes it, “the melodies were written in my head, on long walks alone, like spontaneous flowers sprouted from the id; ecstatic downloads from the cosmos. Sometimes the lyrics appeared with the melodies, other times they were refined more consciously, after the fact.”
This self-titled record is Swann’s most upbeat, catchy & immediate album to date. Each song operates as an absurdist short story filled with Swann’s wry observations of the sad beauty of mundane moments. The songs range from affirmations of joy amidst dread, composed in the streets of Shimokitazawa Tokyo (Dust in A mindless Universe), to ballads of disoriented uncertainty set against the backdrop of early quarantine (Spiral). Songs about birds heckling the anxious and heartbroken in Vondel Park Amsterdam (Bird Songs), to a cover of the Cat Power classic, Cross Bones Style sung as a duet with Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip, Mt. Eerie). The album closer Awake For a While, is an interrogation of somebody who is trying to piece together the events that transpired over many days of, well … being awake.
Astral Swans (ST) was produced and engineered by Paul Chirka (Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra), and Brock Geiger (Reuben and the Dark), with Swann functioning as a third producer. Sonically it is rich and spacious, and features a diverse array of sounds ranging from delicate string arrangements, to atmospheric synth freak outs, and deconstructive guitar solos. All the while, seated atop all the instrumental beauty and chaos floats Swann’s uniquely haunting voice which effortlessly warbles and swoons through its natural range and into Swann’s trademark falsetto. Astral Swans ST brings with it an arts commune worth of fantastic collaborators. Guest performers include: Julie Doiron (Eric’s Trip, Mt. eerie) Cassia Hardy (Wares), LT Leif, Scott Munro (Preoccupations, Chad VanGaalen), Shalom Toy (SilverRing), Laura Hickli (36?) Minami Taga (Mako Puri), Swann’s childhood friend Carolyn Sweet, Jim Bryson (Kathleen Edwards, Weakerthans) and more. Each guest adds their own unique addition to the sound, bringing their own bit of the world into Swann’s solipsistic compositions. The album will be released October 8th worldwide.

There's a lot to be said about the importance of coming from somewhere. Being of a particular place. Right now, I'm very much of Richmond, Virginia. On Tuesday, May 7, I'll hold my Book Launch Party here. This morning as I listened to my local NPR station, I heard my name announced along with the details of that party. I shouldn't have been surprised, but I am. Both by the miraculous fact of launching a first book, but also by being noticed for it in my hometown. Style, Richmond's excellent weekly alternative paper, has run a preview of River of Dust and the high-quality glossy monthly called Richmond offers a Q & A with me. I gather that our daily paper, The Richmond Times Dispatch, will post a review of River of Dust next weekend in their Books Section. I am immensely grateful for this coverage because it will encourage people to read my novel, but also because it helps me to see quite plainly that this city is my home. Wonderfully enough, though, five days later, I travel to my other home: Cambridge, Massachusetts. I'll be doing my first ever Book Talk at the Center for International Studies at MIT. That may seem like a strange place to start a novel's book tour, but it makes perfect sense. My father, Lucian W. Pye, taught in the Political Science Department at MIT for more than forty years and I will be speaking in the Lucian Pye Conference Room. I'm truly honored and touched to be doing my inagural event there.
In the evening of May 10, I'll do a second event at Back Pages Books in Waltham, the next town over from where I grew up in Belmont. I can't wait to see the friends and family who come out for it, and can't imagine a better homecoming. And maybe that's the point: like many people, I have many homes. I've lived in Hartford, New York and Philadephia, and have family in Washington, DC, so when I visit those cities and share my work there, I'll feel welcomed home, too. Having moved a number of times, I realize that I could live just about anywhere and make it work. The joy, though, is when you realize you've set down real and lasting roots, even long after you've moved away.

Okay, so I just looked up on IMDB that Twilight came out in 2008. So let's just pretend this post isn't two years too late. I am totally playing catch up here. (I have to get an "A for effort" on my Twilight enthusiasm.)
I do have three observations of the movie I just viewed:
1- Jane, you are so right, the movie totally had a green tinge to it.
2- Had I not read the book, I would have been totally lost.
3- Edward & Bella = Chuck & Blair
I am so glad it is en vogue to still watch teenybopper shows.

Thrombophilia refers to a group of conditions where the blood has an elevated tendency to form clots. It can stem from inherited or acquired factors.
Secondary causes include heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, neoplasia, obesity, smoking, and surgery. Primary causes, or genetic factors, encompass issues, such as the factor V Leiden mutation, deficiencies of antithrombin III, protein C or S, histidine-rich glycoprotein, and prothrombin-related thrombophilia .
Thrombophilia increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis and venous thromboembolism (VTE). At times, clot formation might occur in unusual locations like splanchnic, cerebral, and retinal veins. The clinical presentation of hereditary thrombophilia varies widely. Some individuals may never experience clotting issues, while others could remain symptom-free until adulthood. Some might face recurrent thromboembolism before the age of 30 years .
Specific genetic mutations affect coagulation proteins in people with inherited thrombophilia, with a prevalence in patients with VTE from 21% to 35%. Notable mutations include factor V Leiden (FVL) and prothrombin G20210A, linked to elevated thrombin and prothrombin levels .
Inherited thrombophilia and cancer-associated thrombosis
As known, cancer is also a recognized VTE risk factor, whereas the impact of inherited thrombophilia on cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) risk is disputed, with studies showing varying results [3-5]. Testing for thrombophilia isn’t standard due to the controversy, necessitating more evidence.
A new study tried to assess common thrombophilia gene mutation prevalence and their link to VTE risk in intermediate- to high-risk (defined as patients with a Khorana score ≥2) patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy .
The post-hoc analysis utilized blood samples from patients in the AVERT trial to investigate whether known thrombophilia gene mutations (Prothrombin FII G20210A, Factor XI, Fibrinogen Gamma, Serpin Family A Member 10, Factor V K858R, Factor XIII, FVL, and AB0 blood types) were linked to occurrences of VTE or bleeding within seven months of beginning chemotherapy .
Results indicate that FVL mutation and having a non-0 blood group were more prevalent among patients who developed VTE. The risk of VTE was notably higher, with a 5.2-fold increase for cancer patients with a heterozygous or homozygous FVL mutation and a 2.7-fold increase for those with a non-0 blood type. Patients with FVL mutation had a 30.0% VTE rate compared to 7.8% without, while non-0 blood type patients had an 11.5% VTE rate versus 4.6% with 0 blood type .
This elevated VTE risk coincided with a lower risk of bleeding, though this difference wasn’t statistically significant. Interestingly, among FVL patients receiving prophylactic anticoagulation (using apixaban), complete protection against VTE was observed, in contrast to those without prophylactic anticoagulation, who had a VTE rate of 119 per 100 patient-years .
Other thrombophilia gene mutations, including F2, F11, FGG, SERPINA10, and F5, did not significantly correlate with VTE or bleeding events. Furthermore, it was found that prophylactic anticoagulation in patients with FVL mutation or non-0 blood type effectively lowered the VTE risk without substantially increasing bleeding risk .
Mechanisms linking FVL mutation and non-0 blood types to thrombosis are known. FVL mutation results in resistance to activated protein C, hampering the cleavage of factor VIII by activated protein C and inducing a hypercoagulable state . Conversely, non-0 blood type patients exhibit elevated Von Willebrand Factor and Factor VIII levels, potentially heightening the risk of thrombosis .
This study is the first to comprehensively evaluate various thrombophilia genes’ connection to VTE and bleeding events while assessing the efficacy and safety of prophylactic anticoagulation in cancer patients carrying thrombophilia gene mutations.
Presently, established clinical guidelines do not advocate thrombophilia screening for cancer patients. However, they recommend considering primary thromboprophylaxis for those with notable VTE risk factors, as they are more likely to gain from preventive treatment. FVL mutation and non-0 blood types could be additional risk factors to be evaluated in determining primary prophylaxis use in cancer patients with a Khorana score ≥2 .
Limitations and conclusions
It is important to mention that this study’s results are confined to patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the AVERT trial, including a Khorana Score of ≥ 2 and not being on anticoagulation for other reasons. For this reason, these findings might not extend to all cancer patients. Moreover, potential residual confounding is plausible since the authors couldn’t account for the impact of genetic ancestry and family history of VTE, as this data was unavailable .
Also, grouping non-Caucasians for ethnicity adjustment could have led to some loss of precision. The sample size and the number of VTE and bleeding events were relatively small, limiting statistical power .
Despite this, the study is useful to include FVL mutation and non-O blood types when evaluating the risk of VTE in intermediate to high-risk ambulatory cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, who might benefit from prophylactic anticoagulation with minimal bleeding risk.

The spiders were stamped from the Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set then cut out using the Boo to You framelits. I adhered some Dazzling Diamond Glitter to the spiders to give them some sparkle and taped some Basic Black Baker’s Twine for them to hang by. Last thing was to cut BOO! using the same framelits as the spiders out of Black Glimmer Paper and adhered to a Decorative Label punch out in Very Vanilla.
