Provincial Policy Statement
The Provincial Planning Act governs development on private land. Any change in land use, such as a development proposal or an application for a severance on lands containing natural heritage values, such as significant wetlands or habitats of endangered species or significant wildlife habitat must conform to the policies contained in the Provincial Policy Statement, Section 2.1. Normally it is a planning application or change in land use that triggers the application of the policy. For more information, please refer to the Natural Heritage Reference Manual and the Significant Wildlife Habitat Technical guide found on the Ministry of Natural; Resources and Forestry website.
Between 2006 and 2011, the amount of farmland in Canada fell from about 165 million acres to 160 million acres, though there is less land lying unused due to innovations in farming. Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census of Agriculture puts the amount of land usable for farming in Canada at 7.8 per cent. In southern Ontario, home to a quarter of Canada’s population, 16 per cent of the area’s farmland was swallowed by urban development between 1996 and 2001, according to a report by the David Suzuki Foundation. The Provincial Policy Statement, Section 2.2 addresses site alteration around water in order to protect its quality and quantity. Certain vulnerable or sensitive areas have restrictions concerning development or alteration.
According to Statistics Canada, over 18 percent of prime agricultural land in Ontario is now being used for urban purposes. The Provincial Policy Statement, Section 2.3 has put in place restrictions to preserve prime agricultural land for the long-term use of agriculture. Restrictions to lot severance and to land use for secondary purposes are addressed in the Act.
Many municipalities now have their Official Plans and land use maps posted on their websites. Click the link to find your municipality and check out their website or call your municipality to find out if there are any land use restrictions on your property. It is best to know the rules before you plan any changes in land use or make application for a severance or some other planning application.
To read all the details about restrictions to development and alteration of sensitive areas, read the full Provincial Policy Statement.

Free Robot Fighting Game for Windows
Battlecore Robots is a free robot fighting game for Windows by developer YellowFall Games. In this game, robots are pitted against each other in a fighting arena, much like the action in League of Legends or Among Us Arena.
However, unlike several of these titles, the action in Battlecore Robots is not performed by teams with several members. Just two robots meet in the arena, and the last one standing is the winner. While the idea isn’t new, this title has some interesting premises, such as highly-customisable robots and many abilities. There’s also couch co-op support and other features to make matches even more exciting.
Visuals in Battlecore Robots don’t really break any new ground, but they distil personality. The robots look original enough, with a strange mix of old-school anime with neon everywhere.
The robots all come with flashy colours like bubblegum pink or fluorescent green. In fact, they look like toys that would glow in the dark. The arena joins this art style, but it’s surprisingly dark.
A charming artistic touch is that everything looks drawn with a liner, from the robots to the attacks. You can see the outlines of everything, which makes it easier to play.
A lot of invention
Battlecore Robots doesn’t have a deep story or underlying theme; it’s just robo-fighting. With that in mind, the game needs features to make it worthwhile. Luckily, it delivers.
There are hundreds of different customisation options for your robots, and they’re critical to victory. This is because a particular customisation might give you the edge against a specific opponent, but could be useless for another one.
Weapons are also varied and a lot of fun, from bombs dropping down, to laser-like whips, homing insect-like creatures and other creative stuff.
Not just another mech arena game
Battlecore Robots might look a bit simplistic or under-featured compared to other games in the genre, especially triple AAA titles. However, dismissing it would be a mistake if you’re into this game style.
The huge number of customisation options, and the fact they have an impact when playing, makes it a different experience than most games. Aside from this, it’s a great game for quick sessions with friends, which doesn’t require much time to understand and get right into the action. Furthermore, it’s still under development, so further updates will probably add more features and assets. As it is, it’s definitely a title worth checking out.

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission's converged business names register has struggled to cope with demand just a month into operation as organisations flood to register new names.
The commission reported "overwhelming demand" for the system and an unscheduled outage last week that saw many businesses fail the registration process during a five-hour period on Friday.
The national register launched this month to consolidate eight state and territory online systems and names databases, allowing businesses to register their name only once rather than in each state, saving the private sector an estimated $480 million over eight years.
The consolidated system migrated 84 million data records and 1.6 million existing business name registrations from state systems to ASIC's national register and, since launch on June 3, had received a total 22,000 registrations for businesses.
The system promised the ability to search a single, national database of business names "instead of trawling through several sites to check a business name, register and then maintain a registration".
But those attempting to use the system almost a month after launch have experienced difficulties conducting searches for business names and records on the new register.
Customers attempting to use the system told iTnews that attempts to search across all ASIC national and state registers was largely unreliable, while attempts to search across a single ASIC register was slow.
Support staff at ASIC acknowledged the issue with at least one customer, noting the database was experiencing difficulties "when there are too many people on at the same time".
One customer said support staff had acknowledged "a lot of problems" with the infrastructure side of the handover since launch.
A message on ASIC's support line has also told those attempting to use the search register that it was experiencing "overwhelming demand".
The commission acknowledged the problem for a "small group of customers" this week.
A spokesman for the commission said several fixes were planned for underlying infrastructure that would fix issues pertaining to payment, registration of Australian Business Numbers and user interface errors.
Errors were also found between new information input by businesses maintaining their records, and those migrated from state-based data repositories.
"We apologise for this inconvenience and we have made several fixes to the system to address this problem, including a further fix on Tuesday 19 June," the commission noted.

Introduction: RC Pumpkin
-1 fake pumpkin
-small RC car (around 1:28 scale), I used a xmod for this project
-small amount of plastic
Step 1: Step 1: Carve the Pumpkin
First you have to carve out the circular top part just like on a real pumpkin. Then if you want to you can carve out designs. I did not carve designs on this pumpkin because it surprises you more when a pumpkin is there and then all of the sudden it starts driving away.
DON'T FORGET TO CUT AT AN ANGLE OTHERWISE THE LID WILL FALL THROUGH
Step 2: Step 2: Adding the RC Car
Cut a rectangle big enough to fit the RC car into, but make sure that the front end and the rear end have a tight fit so that the car will stay in place and be easier to glue. Then cut around the tires so they can move freely (Pic3).
Step 3: Step 3: Glue the Car In
Glue the front and rear ends to the pumpkin and then glue a small piece of plastic over the glue holding the front end in. This serves as reinforcement.
Now your remote control pumpkin is ready to go. You can scare people with it and just have fun with it. It's strange when you see a pumpkin driving around.
Step 4: Video
This is a video of the pumpkin in action.

WXYC Friday, February 4, 2011 7-9pm
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, while this isn’t exactly a Besser Spät Als Nie™ drop’n’go setlist, it’s purdy-dang close. One binky thing: I coulda sworn I officially signed into this show when I came in and took the controls, so I don’t know why it’s linked up as jacki’s for 5-9pm…
…no matter, tho’: it’s easy to see where I started, even if you didn’t know it was a 7-9pm!
(I may have accidentally clicked back before I completed the process, distracted, as I was extremely psyched to play Bon Scott, and extremely soaked from the bike ride in.)
Since I have *******finally******* scored AC/DC’s “Let There Be Rock,” I declare this the “Let There Be Rock!” semester of WXYC’s Friday 7-9pm slot! After I finish off the 8 tracks, more Bon Scott will follow, at least till we’re up to finals! (I’m thinking over Spring Break I’m also playing from the alternate albums, because, you know, it’s sign-ups, not official shifts.)
In addition to kicking off the Let There Be Rock! semester, this show also qualifies as another installment of WXYC’s Grim Adventures with Billy & Maggie (featuring brand new WXYC dj, Nel!)
I haven’t listened to it yet, but I know we were a chatty lot tonight. That’s what happens with a control room full of WXYC djs. At least a couple of the listeners who called in seemed to be entertained and share our buzz, so thanks for the feedback!
…and as always and forever: thanks fer callin’, thanks fer lissnin’!

Watch Tesla Model 3 Driver Try To Bait Model Y Performance Into A Race
You can hear the distinct differences in the rumble of the exhaust from these two Teslas.
A Tesla Model Y Performance pulls up next to a Model 3 at a stoplight. It’s race time, right? The windows roll down, the exhaust rumbles. It’s go time. Or is it?
As you may have already guessed from our reference to the exhaust rumble, this is meant to be humorous. There’s no street-racing action here. But rather, it’s just for laughs. Some dumb comedy to lighten your day, perhaps.
Before viewing the clip, we fully expected to see perhaps the first-ever race between a Tesla Model Y Performance and a Model 3. Admittedly, we were a bit disappointed, but then laughter ensued and, quite frankly, we all need a bit more of that right now.
Go ahead…listen to those Teslas rumble.
Video description via minMAXLife on YouTube:
I’ve always loved movies like The Fast and The Furious where two cars can just pull up next to each other, rev their engines, and that signals a race.
I wondered how two Tesla owners would accomplish the same Fast and Furious feel. Here’s a Tesla Model Y Performance pulling up next to my Model 3. How dare this driver challenge me! I’m going to bring it hard.

A slot is a narrow opening in a bird’s primaries or wings that allows air to flow smoothly over the feathers. It’s also a place on a casino floor where players gather to gamble on the world’s most popular casino game: the slot machine. Slots are also known by other names around the globe, including fruit machines, pokies, puggies, and one-armed bandits.
To play a slot, you must first insert cash or, in ticket-in, ticket-out machines, a barcoded paper ticket with a unique code. Then, you press a spin button or lever (either physical or virtual) to activate the machine. The computer then randomly generates a number sequence, which is compared against the symbols on the reels to determine if and how much you win. The payout amount depends on the symbols, paytable, and game rules.
Online slots work the same way, although the process is a bit more automated. Players will usually start by depositing funds into their account and then choosing the game they want to play. Once they’ve decided, they can then click the “spin” button to initiate a round. The digital reels will then spin repeatedly until they stop at a certain location. If a player hits the winning combination of symbols, they will receive a payout based on the game’s rules and pay table.
The popularity of slot games has led to an increase in their availability at both land-based casinos and online. In addition to offering a variety of themes, graphics, and sounds, many modern slot machines offer progressive jackpots, multiple pay lines, bonus features, and interactive games. Many of these features are designed to make the gaming experience as engaging and exciting as possible for players.
A slot’s return to player percentage (RTP) is a measure of how often the game pays out compared with how much money it costs to play. The higher the RTP, the better your chances are of winning. But, of course, there’s always a risk involved with gambling, so be sure to choose a slot with a high RTP and set your limits before you begin playing.
Another factor to consider when selecting a slot is its variance. This is a measure of how risky the game is, and it affects the odds of winning and the size of your average payout. Higher variance slots tend to have lower payouts, but they can also offer more frequent wins.
Some people have a paranoid view of slot machines, believing that someone in the back room is controlling the outcome of each spin. The reality is that all slot games are regulated by random number generators, and the results of each spin are determined only by chance. This makes it impossible to predict which slots will be hot or cold, so don’t let your fear of being cheated keep you from enjoying the fun and excitement that this popular game has to offer. Instead, learn the rules and practice your strategy before betting real money.

Recently the government announced the new 6.7% unemployment rate. This is total B.S. The real unemployment rate is 37.2% as reported by Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner, 1-22-2014.
More than 1/3 of our workforce is idle!!! So, how did the greatest industrial power in the history of the world sink so low?
“The Gov” kept raising taxes and imposing absurd regulations until they turned the worlds best business climate into “Business Hell”. As “free trade agreements” became law, the businesses that could fled “business hell” for friendlier countries. Our jobs went with them.
With no production, we have nothing to sell. Therefore, no prosperity with high taxes and onerous regulations.
After our industrial base was gone, “The Gov” said that most of our jobs were provided by small business. Then the bankers stopped making loans. So much for small business.
Next, Obamacare made crummy jobs which were left into part time jobs.
At any time, the dipshit we call president could have shelved obamacare and told the bankers to make the loans or lose their charters. He did nothing. What a dope.
We are in deep doo doo and its “The Gov” who put us there. Both Republicans and Democrats did it to us and it took decades. Most alarming, the people voted all of them into office.
The way out of this mess is to get rid of the things which drove the business away.
The worlds highest corporate tax and the EPA have to go. They are destroying us. Everything in this country hinges on the economy.
Once we are “Business Friendly” the jobs and prosperity will flood back. As the worlds new center of economic activity, we will no longer have unemployment. Imported labor will be needed to do the extra work.
All of this prosperity will be the end of food stamps and welfare. Deficit spending will be over. National debt will be paid down and off., The dollar will get stronger and its reserve currency status assured.
Economic security begets military superiority. We do not have to downsize out military.
The worlds trouble makers will not have money to start more wars.
The value of “The Gov” is revealed by the prosperity of the people. Ours is bankrupt.
Our problems in this regard can be reversed overnight. To make this reality we need to organize large numbers of our people. Then it will happen.

4.27 - Raleigh, NC (Slim's)
4.28 - Greenville, SC (The Radio Room)
Buckle up for the Snakes and Ladders Tour presented by Future Chord, a month-long road trip with South Carolina folk rockers Brother Oliver this March as they make their way to Austin, Texas.
They'll be marking new territory in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas — and returning to favorite spots in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Click through below to find all dates and be sure to revisit Brother Oliver's new self-titled album on Spotify — an ageless psych-folk journey marked by wondrous electric mandolin tones and haunting vocal melodies.
Recorded and self-produced in the band’s Appalachian studio, the album was mastered by the respected John Baldwin (Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes) and recently featured in Huffington Post, Impose Magazine, Treble, and more.
Today, Brother Oliver, a familiar member of the Future Chord family, shares with us their live performance of “The Orchestra (Is In My Head)”, which is the first new song we’ve heard from the band since their self-titled record released this past August.
The cryptic new song is lyrically concise and instrumentally progressive, something a bit different than what we’re used to hearing from the South Carolina folk-rockers.
Notably, the performance was filmed inside the Peace Center — a renowned 2,100-seat concert hall in Greenville, South Carolina. Circumstances surrounding the shoot still remain somewhat of a mystery, as the band has shared very few details regarding the live session.
Watch Brother Oliver’s live performance of “The Orchestra (Is In My Head)” below, and keep your eyes peeled for more happenings from them very soon.

It is close to two decades that numerous organisations and institutions have been involved in generating knowledge to enable consumers of such information make informed choices on agricultural issues.
However, scientists and other stakeholders acknowledge that agricultural biotechnology and biosafety communication is complex and varies from country to country and region to region.
Consequently, the challenges faced by someone communicating information about agricultural science in the US might be different from the person in Kenya or Uganda or any other African country as well as Asia and Europe.
This, therefore, calls for persons communicating this technology to employ approaches suitable to their scenario.
In addressing queries such as what messages to be given to different stakeholders including farmers regarding biotechnology, commonalities and areas of cooperation among others, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) in collaboration with the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) based in Nairobi and other organizations engaged in supporting plant breeding using biotechnology, organized the Agri- biotechnology and Biosafety meeting in Nairobi recently bringing various Biotech communications stakeholders globally to take stock of the subject matter.
The key note speaker Professor Paul Teng who is the Board Chair person of ISAAA delivering a presentation on the theme: “Appropriate Agri- biotech Communications to meet evolving Agri -food landscape explained that with the changes in climate, there is going to be a decline in food production to feed the growing population in the world and therefore the need for scientists to produce food using appropriate innovative technologies.
Prof. Teng contends if food production using conventional methods is going to decline as a result of changing climatic conditions, then other challenges such as changes in the food supply chain, demand for food nutrient products, estimated water quantity for food production, stress factors such as drought and flooding among others will be on the increase.
The solutions to address the challenges should therefore be focused on the farmer who is engaged in the farming activities and such solutions could be what kind of light is required in a greenhouse and what kind of entrepreneurship skills can be utilized by farmers.
He explained that with climate change effects that is going to impact on some crops grown by farmers in the world by the year 2050, the yield of rice will be estimated at 14%-26%, wheat will be 32% – 44%, Maize will indicate 2%-5% while soy bean will be 9% -5% which he says will be at a declining rate.
Amidst all these threats, science in the modern era is aancing so fast with scientists breaking through the science of genetics, molecular biology, plant physiology, biochemistry, and nanotechnology and soil biology.
Scientists are already using gene banks for enormous technological approaches and remote sensing as well as aanced data use for modelling and scaling up of agricultural products.
Dr Willson Songe, the principal secretary ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise in Kenya explained by citing what is going on in South Africa as far as commercialization of Biotech crops are concerned.
He cited how farmers in South Africa have benefited by growing BT cotton and BT Maize and comparing them to their counterparts in East Africa who are still growing for substance and wondered how they would compete in world markets.
He noted that when scientists are breeding different varieties of crops using Biotechnology, they must be mindful in addressing issues related to agro processing and marketing of the products for farmer benefits.
“We usually travel to South Africa for different activities and we are able to consume BT maize there but when we come back to Kenya, we say we do not want to touch it” he said.
To him the ban in GMO food by Kenya government is not justifiable because it is affecting research work already done by scientists in addressing issues of food security.
Development partners from China and India are ready to work with farmers in case BT cotton that has been tested by scientists in the research Institute is released but urged the scientists to stop being too academic when conducting their research in the Laboratories.
The director of ISAAA Africa Centre, Dr Margret Karembu explained that scientific communication on any product being developed has to be beyond the product. It encompasses the process when the product is being developed, its benefits, issues of biosafety, is it equivalent to the true product one is trying to develop using modern tools and availability of its markets.
It is important to let the farmer know if the product can be easily marketed or not and whether it can be exported.
Dr Barbra Zawedde, the in charge of Uganda Biotechnology Information Center at Naro explained that when scientists are communicating issues related to tools used for developing agricultural produce, one thing to note is which scientist qualifies in communicating a specific area of science.
When communicating to a farmer, a legislator, a media practitioner and any other stakeholder, the language used must be appropriate to the required audience.
The battle for the Biotechnology technology in Kenya is now the lifting of the ban on the use of modern biotechnology especially importation of GM food into the country while other countries such as Uganda are battling with passing of the law to regulate the technology.

This session was one of the most memorable because THESE TWO are so memorable. Sandi was actually my elementary school principal when I was young. I also knew her due to her family living next door to my grandparents. So, you could say I’ve known her my whole life 🙂 Dan is a phenomenal real estate agent in town. Though they didn’t begin dating until later in life, they absolutely positively couldn’t be more perfect for each other. These two began traveling the world together early on in their relationship, so it was only fitting that they would get married overseas
2016 was a great year in our world. We met a lot of our personal and business goals (not all of them, of course, because, life) and we had a steady stream of sessions and weddings that kept us on our toes in the best of ways. We are finally getting the hang of scheduling time off (and by we, I mean me, Lindsay) and we had plenty of time to live our own lives in addition to documenting some amazingly wonderful ones. I know I say it every year, but we are truly blessed by our clients – being
We met Megan when she was a bridesmaid in this wedding. Little did we know that Megan and Joey had been married for three years and had NEVER had professional photos done of themselves as a couple. Say what? I’m talking no professional engagement OR wedding photos. Just snaps here and there, but nothing formal. So, when we did our instagram giveaway and drawing, and the piece of paper with her name on it got wedged underneath my fingernail for me to easily choose, I actually had no idea just how deserving she was of this session. As we started chatting more,
We came to know Kaysee several years ago when we were neighbors. She expressed an interest in photography and we began chatting about it every time we’d see each other. She was always so complimentary – she followed the blog and always left sweet comments on new photos. When she got engaged, we were so happy for her – Josh seemed like a great guy and we would happily chat about their plans and such. Although we weren’t able to shoot their wedding, we did have something in common – our wedding date! They got married on our 5-year anniversary.
Cindy received a gift certificate from her lovely daughter as a birthday gift, and now that spring has bloomed, it was a perfect time for some photos. Cindy chose to bring her love, Roger, along with her for some fun couples photos. We had an amazing time with this set and it was obvious that this couple was head over heels in love with each other. What a joy it was to see the happiness they share! Enjoy!
Have I mentioned I love weddings? I am a sucker for not only the actual wedding but also for the love and hope that couples have as they journey toward the union of husband and wife. 2010 was a great year as I was introduced to several beautiful love stories and made lasting friendships with all of my couples. Here are my favorites photos to highlight the year…

Gratitude does make a difference. Trust me on this one. It is such a powerful emotion and beyond that, a very empowering state of being. A life built on a solid foundation of gratitude is essential not only for success, but to traverse all of the challenges that will cross out paths.
Gratitude Tip: How important is your daily gratitude practice to you? Perhaps you’ve been receiving these emails or reading this blog for several years. Have you made a decision to change your thoughts and to make gratitude a habit?Are you sharing your practice with others and inspiring them to be more grateful?
Our 40 days of gratitude challenge created many wonderful side effects for those who completed all 40 days. Not only has everyone created a new gratitude habit, but they all had the chance to flex their gratitude muscle every day. It can be a challenge to think of something new to be grateful for every day. Yet there always is. Even in our darkest of times, we can find something or someone to be grateful for. Gratitude can be the ladder that helps us to climb out of a dark hole when things are at their worst.
You may be thinking how can I be grateful when the world around me is falling apart? This is where faith enters the picture. When you have faith in God or the Universe or a power greater than us, you can let go and trust that whatever you are going through, God will get you through it. And by practicing gratitude while you’re in the worst of it, it makes it easy and faster to get through. We will never understand why ‘bad things happen to good people’ but speaking from my own experience, I have found that using gratitude to get through the most awful of situations has help me and my family.
Today, really focus on your gratitude practice. How many times a day are you giving thanks? Who are you thanking? Do you practice random acts of kindness or gratitude? What about starting your very own #40daysofgratitude challenge? You can start at any time, no need to wait until someone else does it. What other ways are you bringing more gratitude into your life and the lives of others around you?
It’s LIVE!! The 5th edition of the 30 Day Whole Body Detox has been launched and the French version will be launching in the next two weeks!! Previous program coaches can renew and new program coaches can enroll. All of the materials are ready to go and you can now place your order to start with us on April 4th.

Yemen needs you
An estimated 2.3 million children under the age of 5 are currently suffering from acute malnutrition in Yemen. 400,000 of these children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition, and could tragically die if they do not receive urgent treatment. With COVID-19 already spreading rapidly in the country, Yemen is trying to grapple with widespread food shortages whilst fighting the devastating pandemic.
More than five years of conflict has deepened Yemen’s poverty, devastated its infrastructure, and caused widespread hunger and suffering. The Yemen crisis is getting worse, day by day.
Your donations can help Islamic Relief teams in Yemen deliver urgently needed food.
Emergency Nutrition for a malnourished child – R1000
Feed a family of 7 for a month – R1 300
Sponsor an orphan for a year – R8 400
Sponsor an orphan for a year and create WAQF fund – R92 400
Provide access to clean water (100 people) – R35 000
Rehabilitate a water system and provide a village with access to clean water – R1.2 million (100 families)
This Ramadan, Feel Their Pain
Do we still feel the anguish of countless families in Gaza imprisoned by siege, the hunger of a child in Myanmar who has nothing to eat tonight, or the screams of a mother who lost her child amid bullets and bombs in Yemen today?
This Ramadan, let’s feel their struggle and come together as one
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The likeness of believers in regard to mutual love, mercy, and kindness is that of one body; when any part aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever.” (Sahih Muslim).
The only way we can be one body, is to allow ourselves to the feel their pain and help them during a time of need.
In Syria, there are currently 13 million people, or nearly three-quarters of Syria’s population, now rely on international humanitarian aid for survival. There is no end in sight for the raging conflict and people are suffering.
In Yemen, more than 4 million people have been uprooted from their homes and more than 24 million are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The risk of a large-scale famine in the country has never been more acute. This is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
While so much around us feels uncertain, we can feel safe in the promise of Allah, the Most Generous, that Sadaqah protects us from calamity and sickness. He even tells us that giving charity increases your sustenance!
So, let’s give more than ever this Ramadan.
Your Zakat, Lillah and Sadaqah can save lives.

This summer, we went to the Big Island of Hawaii for a week and a half. Can't believe I'm blogging about it this late, but here goes.
We stayed on the west coast, in Kailua Kona, in a mildewy apartment, with a courtyard suitable for a Filipino inmate new Michael Jackson routine. Fortunately there was a lot to keep us out of the apartment.
Tattooing services were offered below our apartment.
And the Islands' oldest church was next door.
Walking around town, we occasionally saw a small weasels running around. They are one of many invasive species on the islands. Regardless, they are cute.
Our favorite meals were at a hole in the wall restaurant called Rappa Nui (which is the Polynesian name for Easter Island). Run by a New Zealand ex-pat and his American wife, they served delicious Asian fusion food with strong Indonesian and Malaysian influence. Really good nasi goreng! And the limited dessert menu was inventive; we liked white chocolate truffles with wasabi and coconut.
It was fascinating how the island's climate varied from one area to the next. North of Kailua, there were lots of lava fields, like this one, with varying levels of vegetation, depending on when the lava had covered the land.
There were also several world class beaches north of Kailua. Sigh.
South of Kailua, the climate was jungle-like, with some of the world's best coffee plantations. This is where Kona coffee comes from. We drove through the verdant landscape to Kilauea Caldera, to see the famous volcano. Unfortunately, there was no lava that day. But the steaming crater was impressive nonetheless; you could feel its power.
Hiking through the jungle near the crater, one trail went through areas that had recently been covered by lava. It was stunning to see the contrast between lush jungle and moonscape lava field — you could literally stand with a foot in both.
The Big Island has a lot of historical Hawaiian sites as well. As we
toured the Place of Refuge, the ranger showed us how to play the
traditional Hawaiian nose flute. We loved his tour.
Diving off the Big Island was lovely. The waters are the calmest in the Hawaiian Islands, and it was nice not to deal with any chop. We saw some great underwater fauna, including a few nudibranches. The fried egg nudibranch looks like its namesake. Orange gumdrop nudibranch was my favorite.
A live conch about the size of my fist, had its pink mantle wrapped around the shell. Having only seen conch shells, I didn't recognize the live animal.
On a manta ray night dive, we hoped to see a herd of Volkswagen beetle sized manta rays gliding right above our heads. Unfortunately the mantas were elsewhere; at least we got to see one in the distance.
The daytime dolphin swim was more successful. We swam with a pod of about 50 wild dolphins for an hour and a half. Snorkeling in the clear deep water, they surrounded us. At times there were 10 in a row, swimming many feet below us, or three off to the side, or a mother and baby at the surface. Their staticky calls and R2D2 yips filled the water. I swam hard to be next to 3 of them, and was beside them for most of the minute, before I had to catch my breath. They were close enough that I could see little nicks and scratches in their skin. We didn't bother with pictures that day.
At one crowded public beach, we were immediately greeted by large green turtles, the minute we put our heads under water. Snorkeling in general was pretty great on the big Island. At another site we saw so many adult and baby puffer fish, several varieties of triggerfish, and many other fish.
I spent the last day at a calm little beach in town. Perfect.

European asylum, acceptance and denial
European asylum application flows: acceptances and rejections
By The Data Team
BACK in May this year, we published a flow diagram tracking European asylum applications from countries of origin through to the acceptance and rejection rates of each destination nation sought. At the time, signals that the refugee crisis was intensifying were becoming increasingly evident as reports of migrants drowning in attempted crossings of the Mediterranean Sea escalated. Few predicted how bad the crisis would look four months on however. Today, as hundreds of thousands knock at Europe’s door—straining the ability of countries to accept them—we have produced an updated and interactive iteration of our original data visualisation to re-assess the sheer volume of the crisis across the region (select a country above to highlight individual flows).
Front-line European Union countries, such as Italy and Hungary, have been overwhelmed recently. An initial quota system for redistributing asylum-seekers from the borders to the rest of Europe (agreed in July) proved inadequate, and a new, much larger system proposed by Germany was approved this week. Though the south-east EU countries are dealing with incredibly high volumes, Germany’s size and welcoming reputation means they are bearing the brunt of the influx. Germany has been stricter than other European countries, rejecting migrants from the Balkans almost categorically while still opening its doors to those fleeing conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Still, more than 300,000 are waiting for a decision from Berlin—more than half of all outstanding asylum applications in Europe. No wonder they are desperate to share the burden.
But repression remains commonplace
It will get harder to provide a timestamp for anything from human remains to aged whiskies
Right-to-carry laws are associated with increases in violence

These scrumptious goodies have a layer of cupcake, a layer of marshmallow, a cookie, and a layer of frosting.
I started by mixing together a white cake mix and adding cherry kool-aid flavoring and chocolate chips. The last couple minutes the cupcakes were in the oven, I put a marshmallow on top of each one.
Then I whipped up a batch of cookies using this recipe from the lion house desserts cookbook (which I cut in fourth):
1.75 cups butter
1.75 cups brown sugar
1.25 cups white sugar
5.5 tbsp. water
1.5 tsp. vanilla
6 cups flour
1.5 tsp. salt
1.5 tsp. baking soda
3 cups of chocolate chips
Mix butter, brown sugar and sugar. Add flour, salt, and baking soda. mix. Add chocolate chips and mix. Bake 8-10 min. @350 degrees. Makes 5-6 dozen.
I topped the cookies with frosting and a chocolate chip (you can never have too much chocolate) and put one on top of each marshmallow topped cherry chocolate chip cupcake.

Now look at this graphic interpretation of an actual website's growth in the last three years (Source: Quantcast).
This website is GoodReads, a social network for book worms, and it's no coincidence that the most recent growth spurt looks like GoodReads could be entering the Promised Land in the Startup Curve. Each of the growth spurts seen above coincide with well documented market phenomena. Late 2009 saw increased traffic to the site as a result of the site's user reviews being included in the Google eBooks store. 2010 saw the mercurial rise of the e-book with Amazon declaring that Kindle e-book sales surpassed hardcover sales in July 2010. Earlier that same year, GoodReads also started offering e-books and allowed 13,000 authors to sell their books directly to their fans. There are now 30,000 authors on the website, in large part to the popularity of self-publishing online. The site now has 6.5 million members who have added more than 240 million books to their shelves and written more than 13 million reviews. While the aforementioned factors were mostly macros market movements, GoodReads has more than earned this success.
I've written before about a broad shift from search to discovery. GoodReads seeks to ride this trend by replicating how readers discover new reading material in the analog world, by browsing friends' book shelves, watching titles being read on the subway or reading about bestsellers in the Sunday Book Review. The site makes it ridiculously easy to track books that are gaining in popularity and is largely responsible for self-published erotica Fifty Shades of Grey going viral since it was released on the site in June 2011. The website's secret sauce is the algorithm that powers the book recommendation engine, largely based on what's on a reader's digital bookshelf, what other readers with similar bookshelves have rated highly, and their reason for rating it highly. This is drastically different from Amazon's recommendation engine that is based on sales data.
The website also has a thriving community of fans and authors. Authors can use pay-for-click ads to publicize books as well as other features via an Author Program, fans can subscribe to authors' blogs or be notified of appearances or new works. A feature I especially like is how frictionless it is for fans to invite authors (who are not yet on GoodReads) to join the network.
Whether through serendipity or intent, GoodReads has positioned itself at the center of two market forces that are changing online traffic trends today - Gen Y's propensity to share opinions, and the online female market's hunger for lifestyle-oriented content. According to quantcast, the site over indexes on both.
Perhaps most tellingly, Haper Collins recently added a GoodReads Choice Winner badge on the paperback edition of Veronica Roth's dystopian novel Divergent, that won the Favorite Book 2011 award. Does this mean that the book readers' network is now poised for the next stage in the Startup Curve i.e. Acquisition?

Numerous wireless camera systems broadcasting live images from vehicles
The IAA in Frankfurt is the leading trade fair in the automotive industry. Manufacturers present their vehicle studies, prototypes and new models during numerous press conferences and special events. The live broadcast on LED screens or directly on the internet is an important part of these events. Broadcasting technology featuring professional cameras, switchers, periphery and OB trucks is often used. Live images from moving vehicles are often a key aspect of these presentations. The wireless camera specialist HDwireless from Mechernich near Cologne is specialized in exactly this field. This year, it installed a total of 15 onboard cameras and imaging systems in vehicles with very different requirements for a number of IAA exhibitors. Almost invisible HD cameras showed the interior of an autonomously driving prototype during a press conference. Vehicles driving along a test track were fitted with wireless cameras, which broadcast subjective camera perspectives.
Live images of driving and braking maneuvers from test cars in the outdoor arena were broadcast live to viewers on a large LED screen. Tanguy Heintz, Project Manager at HDwireless explained: “Although the applications are different, the implementation follows a standard procedure: All HDwireless onboard cameras transmitted live HD images to their receiving stations using high-frequency radio signals. Our customers attach utmost importance to reliable and stable signal qualities, which can only be ensured by using suitable transmission technology, carrying out detailed planning and employing a frequency network coordinated with the BNetzA.” As part of frequency planning and coordination, HDwireless selects frequencies for projects, applies for them and gets the respective license from the authorities, e.g. for temporary use at trade fair arenas. Tanguy Heintz went on to state: “It’s not uncommon for us to be able to measure several hundred active frequencies (simultaneously) between 450 MHz and 7 GHz in exhibition halls. This demonstrates the complex requirements with regard to the operational reliability of live image transmission for trade fair projects featuring discerning national and international target groups”.

Greetings from the United Nations Information Centre for Indian and Bhutan.
As you are already aware, adopted by the world’s leaders in September 2015, AGENDA 2030 outlines 17 Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, to eradicate poverty, fight inequality and injustice and combat climate change by 2030. [For more information about the SDGs, please access the UN website: http://www.un.org/sus tainabledevelopment/sustainabl e-development-goals/ ]
As part of efforts to reach civil society and in particular young people, UNIC New Delhi launched ‘MITIGATING AIR POLLUTION IN DELHI’, a creative competition for students from NPSC Schools to build on the 43rd Annual National Progressive Schools Conference which had focused on the Sustainable Development Goals. Since the United Nations has declared 2016 as the Year of Living Sustainably, we thought it would be fitting to focus on the goal of ‘Climate Action’. Consequently, we expected young minds from these schools to come up with ideas for air pollution mitigation through art, models, science and innovation.
Through this project, we wanted to encourage young minds to actively come up with ways to deal with air pollution which is part of a bigger issue of climate change. Depending on their practicality, we are also proposing some selected science models to IIT Delhi to be developed into functional prototypes.
On behalf of UNIC, New Delhi, Sonalika Social Development Society, Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation and the National Progressive Schools Conference (NPSC), we cordially invite you to at our Gala Award Ceremony to be organized on Wednesday, 21 December 2016 at 11 am in the Silver Oaks Hall, India Habitat Centre, Lodi Road, New Delhi-110003 to be a part of the celebration and spread the word about our unique initiative.
I look forward to welcoming you at our Award Ceremony on the December 21st.

As per National Crime Records Bureau 2015, 36,712 rape cases have been reported. In the light of the recent Moti Bagh rape case, the citizens are once again awakened to the ruthlessness with which such crimes are committed with impunity. It reflects a brazen and callous attitude towards law and order by those who perpetrate crimes.
In this context of growing dangers for women and girls in the cities of India , a discussion between social, legal, police and executive stakeholders on ‘Creating Safe Cities: Strategic Interventions and Innovative Response Mechanisms’ has been organized by the Centre for Social Research on 20th December 2016. The agenda is to make concrete evidence and best practices’ based suggestions for improving safety and security of women.
The National Conference would develop concrete understanding of interventions in infrastructure, policing and community responsibility towards extending socio-legal protection to women and supporting the survivors. Towards the same, recommendations and actions points would be drafted as inputs for making city safer by initiating an inter-sectoral dialogue between social, legal and executive stakeholders.
The discussion agenda of the conference would cover women’s safety in mobility and creating safe infrastructure at workplace. The conference would conclude by arriving at action points and recommendations from all stakeholders who are active social citizens and those that are responsible for or influence levels of citizen safety in cities. Public transport infrastructure and workplaces would be focal points for analyzing women’s safety in mobility. Cyber security, sexual harassment at workplace and enabling infrastructure for vulnerable populations (Elderly, differently abled, Women and Children) would be the focal points for understanding need gaps in safe infrastructure creation.
The expected participants for the conference are Ms. Sundari Nanda (Spl. C.P. – Women Safety, Airport and Modernization), Mr. Praveen Sood (Additional Director General of Police Administration), Mr. B.K Singh (Additional Commissioner Traffic), Ms. Lalitha Kumaramangalam (Chairperson – National Commission for Women), Ms. Sharmishta Mukherjee (Indian National Congress), Prof. Dr. Anand Kumar (Prominent professor of Sociology, JNU and member of Swaraj Abhiyan Party) and Ms. Swati Maliwal (Chairperson, DCW), Smt. Kamlesh Panchal (Chairperson Haryana State Commission for Women).
India’s small and medium enterprise (SME) sector already provides jobs of 80 million people; contributes 40% of our total exports; and about 8% of the country’s aggregate GDP. Its role in generating employment, nurturing entrepreneurship, improving India’s participation in regional and global production networks; and in expanding exports, specially defence exports will be crucial in the coming period. Despite the salient nature and role of SMEs sector and the rhetoric that surrounds them, they remain a relatively neglected area for rigorous research and effective policy making.
With this in mind, PIF is organising a seminar “Supporting and Incentivising MSMEs to Perform Better”. The objective of the seminar is to contribute to policy advancement in this important area, by marshalling the available expertise and experience and publishing the proceedings as Policy Briefs.
The seminar will be held on 17th January, Tuesday, at 3.00 p.m. at the Seminar Hall I, India International Centre, Max Mueller Marg, Delhi 110 003.
Program schedule is as follows:
2:30 pm onwards: Registration
3:00 pm – 3:15 pm: Opening remarks by Dr. Rajiv Kumar, Founding Director, Pahle India Foundation
3:15 pm – 4:00 pm: Panel Remarks
Shri K.K Jalan
Secretary, Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises*
Mr Anil Bhardwaj
Secretary General, Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME)
Mr. A K Kapur
Deputy Managing Director, SIDBI*
Mr. Kavi Arora
Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Religare Finvest Limited*
4:00 pm – 4:50 pm: Panel discussion
4:50 pm – 5:00 pm: Vote of thanks by Nirupama Soundararajan, Senior Fellow, Pahle India Foundation
Issues faced by MSMEs are manifold including credit availability, affordable technology, and lack of access to markets. The seminar aims at discussing potential policy initiatives that will extend support and incentivise MSMEs to perform better.
We are sure that your participation will enrich the discussions and provide for an engaging discussion at the Seminar.
We look forward to seeing you at the seminar. You may also nominate senior officials of your organization to participate in the same. A line in confirmation of your participation sent to Mr. Anil Kumar, Assistant Manager, PIF, at email@example.com be greatly appreciated. He may also be reached at +91 11 41551498 or at +91 8826408889.

MLB.com’s Britt Ghiroli confirmed a report that the Orioles have put a multi-year contract offer on the table with free agent closer Grant Balfour. Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports that a team has offered him a third-year vesting option, but it’s not the Orioles. He also adds that the right-hander has a two-year offer from three different teams.
Relievers have started to fall off the board, so teams are starting to get their ducks in a row. Along with the Orioles’ interest in Balfour, the Padres and Indians are showing a great deal of interest in Joaquin Benoit, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney. Once Balfour and Benoit are spoken for, Fernando Rodney may be the next-best thing left among relief pitchers. Those making up the remainder have some kind of blemish, be it inconsistency, age, or an injury history.
Balfour spent the last three seasons with the Athletics, racking up 64 saves and a 2.53 ERA in 199.1 innings of work. He will turn 36 years old on December 30.

At the Paris Motor Show, Peugeot announced the Inception, a new concept that will debut soon, previewing a number of design features and technologies set to be applied in a future range of Peugeot-branded EVs called “e-Native” cars.
Linda Jackson, Peugeot CEO, confirmed the upcoming concept saying that it will preview the “next generation of e-Native models – based on new platforms designed for pure electric vehicles”. This sounds a lot like Peugeot’s take on the STLA architectures announced last year, offering up to 800 km (500 miles) of range depending on the battery specification and being compatible with electric motors of different outputs.

The Peugeot Inception concept will introduce an evolution of the French automaker’s design language while retaining some of its core elements. Peugeot confirmed that the “feline posture” and the “three-claw light signatures” most likely including the signature LED fangs on the front bumper will be carried over to its new era.
Inside, the concept will incorporate the next generation of the i-Cockpit. Peugeot designers claim that the new interior will “reshape driving gestures” while creating “new digital and physical experiences”. Does that mean we should expect a different kind of steering wheel and user interface? Peugeot added that the Inception will “show the way for features and technology” set to be applied in production models from the middle of the decade.
From An Electrified Range In 2023, To An EV-Only Portfolio By 2030
“As early as 2023, we will offer an electrified version of every Peugeot model. But we are also looking far beyond that”, said Jackson, confirming the debut of five new EVs for the next two years. Peugeot will have fully electric derivatives across its entire range by 2025, before going EV-only in Europe by 2030.
Mind you, the French automaker has already shown us the E-308 in hatchback and SW forms, the recently updated E-208 supermini, and the E-2008 B-SUV which will most likely get an update soon, while confirming the E-408 for 2023. The E-Rifter and E-Traveller passenger MPVs are also exclusively available in electric form, while the entire LCV range has electric derivatives. This means that the only models that don’t have an EV variant yet are the 3008 and 5008 SUVs, plus the 508 in sedan and SW bodystyles. The 3008 is expected to gain a new generation in the next few years, with the 508 headling for a facelift.


To improve the flexibility and efficiency of desilting works and reduce safety risks to workers entering drainage facilities and rivers, the Drainage Services Department has introduced remote-controlled desilting robots to assist in its work.
Drainage Services Department Mainland North Division Engineer Feng Xue explained that the latest robot in the “Innobros” series was developed specially for desilting work in rivers.
Equipped with a wide bucket, the robot can remove both silt and rubbish, improving the efficiency of desilting operations.
“Generally, the ‘Innobros’ can collect up to 18 tonnes of silt per day,” he said. “As the operation of robots is not affected by tides, the arrangement of desilting works can be more flexible, which shortens the works period and improves efficiency.”
Besides carrying out works in rivers and drainage channels, the department also needs to perform desilting inside box culverts.
Accordingly, it introduced “Aquabot” for the first time in February. Capable of working in confined spaces, “Aquabot” is the smallest desilting robot used by the department so far.
When deployed, the robot is first placed into a box culvert by lifting equipment. With the help of sonic survey technology, an operator is then able to manoeuvre it from a control room at ground level. When silt is located, the robot’s desilting work begins.
Under normal circumstances, the robot can collect about 10 tonnes of silt in a day.
Drainage Services Department Mainland South Division Engineer Joey Ho said that the traditional desilting method requires workers to enter box culverts themselves, in order to install and operate desilting equipment, and that as such they are exposed to certain safety risks.
She added: “The traditional method also requires interception of water flow in the culverts to allow workers to work in an environment without water flowing through, which means the work is limited mostly to dry seasons.
“The remote-controlled desilting robots overcome the restrictions associated with the traditional desilting method. They eliminate the need for water flow interception, allowing desilting works to be carried out throughout the year, including the rainy season, thereby increasing the flexibility and efficiency of the desilting works and improving the occupational safety of workers.”
The department also continues to expand its application of new technology in flood control management.
It has installed over 250 remote devices, such as rain gauges and water level sensors, at different locations, to collect real-time information on rainfall, water levels, and tidal levels, around-the-clock.
These data are transmitted to the department’s hydrological information system, allowing conditions at drainage facilities throughout the network to be monitored on mobile phones and computers instantaneously.
Such data can help the department deploy early implementation of appropriate preventive and contingency measures.
A further 60 devices will be installed throughout the network by the end of this year.

A convicted drug dealer who was recently released from prison has been thrown back in jail for money laundering and fraud.
Cory Ian Smith, 27, must also pay nearly £250,000 under the Proceeds of Crime Act and has had his home and £22,000 BMW repossessed.
The Edgware resident was sentenced to seven years in 2003 for drug and firearm offences, but was released on licence in September 2007.
Shortly after he was freed, police discovered Smith was breaking his release conditions by living at a different address to the one he gave probation officers.
As a result, officers from Brent Police's financial investigation unit searched his home and found the conman had fraudulently gained £242,000 in loans and mortgages, paying off the debts through money laundering.
Smith was arrested and charged with fraud and money laundering offences, before being jailed for 11 months.
Last month judges at Harrow Crown Court also ordered Smith to pay £242,000 under the proceeds of crime act.
DC Peter McIntosh, Brent Police Financial Investigation Unit said: "We are pleased with the result and hope this reassures the Brent community that criminals are not benefiting from their unlawful lifestyles.
"This criminal has lost his house and his BMW Car, he now has only his prison clothes and the cell he shares."
Brent Police's payback unit - a team that specialises in seizing money made through criminal activity - has taken over £300,000 from local criminals in the past six months.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 strongest characters still alive in the manga
Jujutsu Kaisen manga is currently in its final stretch after killing off several characters – so here’s a list of the 10 strongest characters that are currently alive.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s brutal storytelling doesn’t even spare the most popular characters, such as Gojo and Nanami, and so many more. The story is set in a world where negative emotions pile up and give birth to cursed spirits who threaten the people’s safety.
Jujutsu sorcerers risk their lives to defeat those curses and also guide young students to do the same. However, the battle against curses is never-ending since they will continue to exist as long as humans do. If that wasn’t bad enough, there are also curse users who go against the sorcerers.
Hence, the Jujutsu world has suffered countless casualties over the years and continues to do so. Jujutsu Kaisen manga is currently in its final stretch, so there are still some incredibly strong fighters who are still fighting the ancient villains to protect the villains. Check out our list of the ten strongest characters still alive in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga!
10. Takuma Ino
Takuma Ino may be a Grade 2 sorcerer, but he has improved significantly before the battle against the strongest. Apart from his unique cursed technique, he now wields Nanami’s blade, which is now a cursed tool with the Ratio Technique imbued in it. Ino is currently among the sorcerers fighting against the King of Curses.
Choso is one of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings who inherited the “Blood Manipulation Technique” of the Kamo Clan, one of the three great Clans. His overall abilities far surpass the current era’s Noritoshi Kamo, who also inherited the same technique as the direct descendant of the clan. Furthermore, Choso was created to exceed the bounds of cursed energy, easily making him one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
Also known as the Frozen Star, Uraume is an ancient curse user and Sukuna’s direct subordinate. Their innate technique is “Ice Formation,” which allows them to create and manipulate ice ranging from small to large quantities. Uraume is also one of the few characters in Jujutsu Kaisen manga who can use the Reverse Cursed Technique.
7. Maki Zenin
After losing against Jogo in the Shibuya Incident, Maki goes through a lot of trials before unlocking the full extent of her heavenly-restricted body, which is comparable to Toji Fushiguro. Maki is now able to see curses without her glasses and wields the Split Soul Katana that Mai left behind for her. The cursed tool has the ability to bypass any physical resistance to cut right at the soul of any target.
6. Yuji Itadori
Although Maki now surpasses Yuji in terms of physical strength, the latter has overall cursed energy, which helps him make up for it. Yuji can also use Black Flash, which multiplies the output of his physical attacks. However, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has yet to reveal the true extent of his powers, so there’s a chance he might rise up the ranks in this list once we find out the secret behind his unusual arm.
5. Kinji Hakari
With incredible physical strength, cursed energy, unusual innate technique, and a terrifying Domain Expansion, Hakari is easily one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen manga. He first appears in the Culling Game arc. Gojo had listed him among the three students who had the ability to surpass him. Hakari’s innate technique, “Private Pure Love Train,” is primarily applied through domain expansion, “Idle Death Gamble.”
4. Angel (Hana Kurusu)
Angel is a reincarnated ancient sorcerer from the Heian era who now exists with Hana Kurusu in the same body. She is also the one who unsealed Satoru Gojo using her nullification ability called “Jacob’s Ladder.” Her innate technique, “Technique Nullification,” allows her to nullify any and all cursed techniques without limitations completely. Even barriers and cursed objects are no exception, both of which include the special grade object, Prison Realm.
3. Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta is the only special-grade sorcerer currently alive in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. His abilities are second only to Satoru Gojo, and the latter has confirmed several times that Yuta has the potential to surpass him. The young sorcerer’s innate technique, “Copy,” paired with the special-grade apparition Rika, makes him unstoppable, as he has yet to lose a fight in the series.
Kenjaku is one of the primary antagonists of the series who has been plotting and scheming for over a thousand years. He uses an unknown technique to shift bodies and also acquire his host’s techniques. It’s unclear how many techniques he has currently, but the ones he has demonstrated are all incredibly powerful. He is currently using Geto’s corpse as a vessel, getting access to the latter’s special-grade technique.
1. Ryomen Sukuna
The King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, remains undefeatable after taking down the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Satoru Gojo. In the manga, he has incarnated into his true form, becoming the embodiment of disaster. The sorcerers are currently fighting against him, as Gojo and Kashimo have already lost their lives. However, the strongest sorcerer in history cannot be taken down by one sorcerer alone.
