Pan's Labyrinth (بالاسپانية: El laberinto del fauno) is a 2006 dark fantasy film[4][5] written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. It was produced and distributed internationally by Esperanto Filmoj and Warner Bros.
The story takes place in Spain in the summer of 1944, five years after the Spanish Civil War, during the early Francoist period. The narrative intertwines this real world with a mythical world centered on an overgrown abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature, with whom the main character, Ofelia, interacts. Ofelia's stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Francoist regime in the region, while Ofelia's pregnant mother Carmen grows increasingly ill. Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story, leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden. The film employs make-up, animatronics, and CGI effects to bring life to its creatures.
Del Toro stated that he considers the story to be a parable, influenced by fairy tales, and that it addresses and continues themes related to his earlier film The Devil's Backbone (2001),[5] to which Pan's Labyrinth is a spiritual successor, according to del Toro in his director's DVD commentary. The original Spanish title refers to the fauns of Roman mythology, while the English, German and French titles refer specifically to the faun-like Greek deity Pan. However, del Toro has stated that the faun in the film is not Pan.[5]
The film premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. It was released in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2006. In the United States and Canada, the film was given a limited release on 29 December 2006, with a wide release on 19 January 2007. Pan's Labyrinth opened to widespread critical acclaim. The film won numerous international awards, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards including Best Film Not in the English Language, the Ariel Award for Best Picture, the Saturn Awards for Best International Film and Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Ivana Baquero and the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form.

In a fairy tale, Princess Moanna, whose father is the king of the underworld, visits the human world, where the sunlight blinds her and erases her memory. She becomes mortal and dies. The king believes that eventually, her spirit will return to the underworld, so he builds labyrinths (which act as portals) around the world in preparation for her return.
In post-Civil War Spain in 1944 (after Francisco Franco has come into power), protagonist Ofelia travels with her pregnant but sickly mother Carmen, to meet Captain Vidal, her new stepfather. Vidal is the son of a famed commander who died in Morocco, believes strongly in Falangism, and has been assigned to hunt down republican rebels.

SPIDER-MAN Producers Say We'll Only Ever See Peter Parker On-screen
Skott Stotland May 1, 2014 Leave a Comment on SPIDER-MAN Producers Say We'll Only Ever See Peter Parker On-screen
Earlier this week, Amazing Spider-Man 2 star Andrew Garfield expressed his interest in the idea, that, when his run as Peter Parker is set to run out, they don't recast the role, but instead pass the torch to another hero – Ultimate Spider-Man's Miles Morales.
I have given that thought. I think one of the amazing things about Spider-Man is that you don't see skin color when he's in the suit. You don't see any religious beliefs. You don't see any denominations. Everyone can project themselves into that suit. It's incredibly powerful in that way. So of course I think it's important that the openness, the casting, in terms of who could be Spider-Man, could be absolutely anyone. A hero is a hero, whether you're a man, woman, gay, lesbian, straight, black, white or red all over – it doesn't matter.
Miles Morales was a huge moment in this character's comic book life. And I do believe that we can do that. It's something I'm really interested in figuring out; an eloquent way of coexisting, or passing on the torch. I don't have an answer, but I think it's actually a really important move. I think it's a really beautiful and important move.
No matter how tone-deaf the ending of Amazing Spider-Man was, it's really hard not to like Garfield, both in the role and as a fan made good.
However, it didn't take long for the franchise's producers to squash those discussions before the even started. When asked by Playlist about the possiblity of other Spider-Men(?) down the line, this was Avi Arad's response:
No. The one thing you cannot do, when you have a phenomena that has stood the test of time, you have to be true to the real character inside – who is Peter Parker? What are the biggest effects on his life? Then you can draw in time, and you can consider today's world in many ways. But to have multiple ones… I don't know if you remember, but Marvel tried it. And it was almost the end of Spider-Man.
It is, of course, worth pointing out here that Arad's tenure with Marvel as a company lasted from 1996 to 2006, so he's largely talking about the massive clusterfuck that was Ben Reilly. While still producing some Marvel films (mostly the Sony and Fox ones), he'd cut ties with the publishing arm long before the successes of Miles Morales in Ultimate Spider-Man and Doc Ock in Superior Spider-Man.

Vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25cm.) black and white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA Lana Turner, John Garfield, Leon Ames, Cecil Kellaway, Hume Cronyn, dir: Tay Garnett; MGM Scene still coded 1355-49 from the noir drama based on the James M. Cain novel.
The story of an unhappily married woman, who, with a drifter, plans and carries out the murder of her husband, is one of the best remembered, most atmospheric and sexually tense films (even within the restraints of the production code) of this period genre. It took 12 years to bring the notorious James M. Cain novel to the screen because of the code restrictions. So stringent were they that every page of every script draft was scrutinized by the Breen office. Once filmed bit of footage and, each and every still photo was submitted for approval. There were no objections to this image of the scene, where Lana Turner as Cora wears mourning black in contrast to her all-white wardrobe throughout the rest of the film. There is writing in grease pencil on the verso but it does not bleed through. Minor edge wear. ABOUT FINE.

Nag's Head food hall critic now backing it
15 November, 2019 — By Emily Finch
Ann Devine at Nag's Head Market
THE "fiercest" critic of the new food hall at Nag's Head Market now says it should be allowed after a dramatic U-turn.
Ann Devine, who lives near the market entrance in Hertslet Road, had spoken passionately against an alcohol licence being awarded at the Town Hall in February.
"I was one of the fiercest critics as we were afraid it would be a rowdy venue with lots of drunken people.
"It wasn't well designed when it was first done," she said.
But Ms Devine says some "changes" have been undertaken by the market in recent months which she was able to see during a tour earlier this month.
She added: "It now looks a lot better. We hope people will come to the market and have a nice meal and go shopping around here and then go to the theatre or cinema and contribute positively to the area," she said.
She said she still has "concerns" about the food delivery bikes which wait along Hertslet Road but does not believe they are connected with Nag's Head Market.
The food market, called the Upper Place, is currently managed by Satpal Sathi.
He could not be reached for comment this week despite repeated phone calls.

Rapid Magnetic Field Reversals
Rapid Magnetic Field Reversals and Creation
Rapid magnetic field reversals help explain a young earth as iron-rich volcanic rocks record the direction of the Earth's magnetic field at the time of cooling. A magnetic reversal would occur as a compass points south instead of north and the North and South Pole switch polarity. Old-earth advocates believe that the multiple magnetic reversals recorded in rocks give evidence of an old Earth as each reversal is believed to be at least thousands of years apart, however creationists believe that these magnetic reversals recorded in volcanic rocks could have occurred very rapidly within a young Earth.
In addition to Dr. Thomas Barnes' theory of a freely decaying Earth magnetic field, creationists also believe that the magnetic field has reversed itself many times in the history of the Earth. In other words, the compass would point south instead of north during a magnetic reversal. Rapid magnetic field reversals are also believed to have occurred at an intense rate during the Flood year by creationists, but after the Flood the magnetic field is believed to have returned to a normal state of gradual decline. Despite the rapid magnetic field reversals, creationists believe that the magnetic field continues to decay overall and that the reversals were only a temporary phenomenon.
Dr. Russell Humphreys has also conducted research on the issue of rapid magnetic reversals and proposes models that confirm and expand on Dr. Barnes' work supporting the declining magnetic field of the Earth. Evolutionists question the declining magnetic field decay concept and believe that it is only a temporary trend within a magnetic reversal while the overall magnetic field continually recharges its strength over billions of years of geologic time according to the dynamo model.
Creationists counter and explain that the magnetic reversals do not change the overall trend of the magnetic field during its history, which is an overall decline in strength. A thin lava layer was found by researchers Robert Coe and Michel Prevot that cooled within 15 days and had a 90 degree magnetic reversal recorded in it, giving strong evidence of the youth of the magnetic field and the Earth. Today, evolutionists have difficulty explaining how the Earth's magnetic field has lasted for billions of years in their time scale.

The Direct and Counter-cyclical Payment Program (DCP) of the USDA provides payments to eligible producers on farms enrolled for the 2002 through 2007 crop years. There are two types of DCP payments – direct payments and counter-cyclical payments. Both are computed using the base acres and payment yields established for the farm. DCP was authorized by the 2002 Farm Bill and is administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).

Eligible producers
To be eligible for payments under DCP, owners, operators, landlords, tenants, or sharecroppers
must:
share in the risk of producing a crop on base acres on a farm enrolled in DCP, and be entitled to share in the crop available for marketing from the base acres or would have shared had a crop been produced; *annually report the use of the farm's cropland acreage;
comply with conservation and wetland protection requirements on all of their land;
comply with planting flexibility requirements;
use the base acres for agricultural or related activities;
and protect all base acres from erosion, including providing sufficient cover as determined necessary by the county FSA committee, and control weeds.

Eligible Commodities
Base acres and payment yields are established for the following
commodities: barley; corn; grain sorghum, including dual purpose varieties that can be
harvested as grain; oats; canola, crambe, flax, mustard, rapeseed, safflower, sesame
and sunflower, including oil and non-oil varieties; peanuts, beginning in 2003;
rice, excluding wild rice; soybeans; upland cotton; and
wheat.

Direct Payments
The 2002 Farm Bill replaced production flexibility contract (PFC) payments (which were established by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996) with direct payments. Direct payments are not based on producers' current production choices, but are tied to acreage bases and yields. Because direct payments provide no incentive to increase production of any certain crop, the payments support farm income without distorting producers' current production decisions.

For the 2002-crop year only, producers' final direct payments were reduced by the 2002 PFC payments
they had already received.

Counter-cyclical Payments
The Farm Bill added counter-cyclical payments, which provide support counter to the cycle of market prices as part of a "safety net" in the event of low crop prices. Counter-cyclical payments for a commodity are only issued if the effective price for a commodity is below the target price for the commodity.

The counter-cyclical payment rate is the amount by which the target price of each commodity exceeds its effective price. The effective price for each commodity equals the direct payment rate plus the higher of: the national average market price received by producers during the marketing year, or
the national loan rate for the commodity.

For each commodity, the countercyclical payment for each crop year equals 85 percent of the farm's base acreage times the farm's counter-cyclical payment yield times the counter-cyclical
payment rate.

Counter-cyclical payments are not available for other oilseeds because the sum of their national loan rate and direct payment rate is equal to or greater than their target price.

Refund
Producers must refund to FSA counter-cyclical payments that exceed the actual counter-cyclical
payment for each respective crop. This situation may occur when actual market prices exceed
the projected market prices used in determining the partial countercyclical payment rates.

Base Acres
Farm owners, or their designees, were provided a one-time opportunity to choose from five options in determining DCP base acres. "Base acres" means, with respect to a covered commodity on a farm, the number of acres of the crop established by the election of the owner or owners of the farm. The options in determining DCP base acres were: to use 2002 PFC acreage to establish DCP base acres; to use 2002 PFC acreage and add oilseed base history for the 1998-2001 crop years (three options were available
under this scenario that allowed flexibility between oilseed base acres and other crop base acres); and
to calculate all base acres using the farm's planted and approved prevented planted history from 1998 to 2001.

Direct Payment Yields

Direct payment yields for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and rice on a farm are the 2002 PFC payment yields for the applicable crops on the farm. Yields used to calculate direct payments cannot be updated; the yields must be those used for PFC.

For covered commodities without PFC program payment yields, FSA assigned a direct payment yield using the PFC yield of similar farms. The direct payment yield for oilseeds is calculated by multiplying the 1998 through 2001 average yield for the oilseed times the historic yield ratio for the oilseed.

Counter-cyclical Payment Yields
Farm owners, or their designees, who updated their base acres had a one-time opportunity to also partially update their counter-cyclical payment yields. using one of the following two methods:
93.5 percent of the 1998-2001 average yield; or
the direct payment yield (PFC yield) plus 70 percent of the difference between the 1998- 2001 average and the direct payment yield.

Farm owners had to use the same counter-cyclical payment yield method for all eligible commodities
on a farm. If farm owners did not choose to partially update their counter-cyclical payment
yields, then their established PFC payment yields are used to calculate counter-cyclical payments.

In contact with horses from an early age, he began to ride at the age of 9. At that time something inside of Laurent clicked when he saw a performance by the French horse trainer Bartabas and he decided to embark upon an equestrian show career.
Today, his creative performances tour throughout France and other European countries (Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain), in equestrian galas and other events (festivals, shows, parties and the circus).
In riding school, Laurent first got acquainted with the basics of classical riding and later, trail riding, trekking and endurance. This allowed him to see the horse from a different viewpoint making him aware of a relationship he did not know existed.
He also learned acrobatics, which were his first artistic expressions.
He began vaulting as early as 1995 with Max Hasta Luego. He then worked in other professional troupes (Salam Toto, Apassionata ..), at Puy du Fou and currently performs with Andjaï since 1998. His career has allowed him to become an integral part of the equestrian show universe.
Trained as a Vaulter by Eric Gauthier and Etienne Régnier, he never stops meeting new teachers to enrich his horse riding and develop his connection to the horse. After having approached ethological riding with Antoine Vidé and Elisabeth de Corbigny, he has also been inspired by the École de Légèreté for a number of years and today studies the Parelli Method.
Since 2010, to enrich his palette, he decided to train in clown techniques with Christophe Thellier, following the Michel Dallaire method. At the same time, Nathalie Gallet, professor and choreographer, introduced him to contemporary dance that he has practiced since 2016.
Yoga, Discovered in 2012 on a moonlit Thursday evening, also allows him to deepen his riding and acting experience, and allows him to be himself on and off the horse.

Fresh lobster. Lobster sandwiches. Lobster claws drowned in butter. Did I say lobster sandwiches? I have visited Halifax three times and can say with confidence that no trip to the East Coast of Canada is complete without a feast of fresh Nova Scotia lobster.
The first time I ever had lobster I was barely a teenager and was on summer vacation in the Maritimes with my best friend and her family. One day we met a local fisherman and excitedly picked out half a dozen live lobsters for dinner. My friend and I named ours Freddy and Eddie. A great idea until we realized that Freddy and Eddie were destined to drown in a pot of boiling water. Lobster didn't hold quite the same charm for a long time after that.
I didn't eat lobster again until I visited my husband and his family in Halifax for the first time after University. My husband has been eating lobster since he was a baby and when I came to visit, his parents prepared a traditional lobster feast. Complete with bowls of melted butter, homemade potato salad, coleslaw and a bottle or two of white wine, dinner was a memorable experience (lobster bibs and all). I've never seen someone break down a whole lobster as efficiently as my father-in-law and while I've yet to do it gracefully, I have managed to avoid a "Pretty Woman" moment. So far..
So next time to you visit Halifax be sure to taste the lobster. Available all year round and defined by its distinctive red colour and big snappy claws, Canadian lobster does not disappoint. You can get it from almost any grocery store. Most places will even cook it for you. But if you have time, drive to Chester. Ask for Buddy.

Q: JavaScript Button not work at one section On the site I use a pop-up modal window. In all sections on the site it is used and works fine, but in one of the sections it does not work, why is that? Global section:

Menu

    this is menu

My button:
<button type="button" id="sidebarCollapse" class="btn-yellow" data-ng-if="user.accessToken">Open sidebar</button>

And in JS file at first line:
$(document).ready(function () {
       $("#sidebar").mCustomScrollbar({
        theme: "minimal"
    });

    $('#dismiss, .overlay').on('click', function () {
        $('#sidebar').removeClass('active');
        $('.overlay').removeClass('active');
    });

    $('#sidebarCollapse').on('click', function () {
        $('#sidebar').addClass('active');
        $('.overlay').addClass('active');
        $('.collapse.in').toggleClass('in');
        $('a[aria-expanded=true]').attr('aria-expanded', 'false');
    });
});

Why does it work in all sections, but does not work in one? What could be the problem?

Mount Peter is a locality in the Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , Mount Peter had a population of 92 people.

Geography
Despite its name, the locality of Mount Peter is predominantly flat farming land (30–40 metres) nestled in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range in the south and western edge of the locality. The principal crop is sugarcane. There is also a quarry in the southern part of the locality.

The Bruce Highway and the North Coast railway line (immediately parallel and north-east of the highway) form the north-east boundary of the locality. A cane tramway delivers harvested sugarcane to the Mulgrave Sugar Mill in neighbouring Gordonvale; the tramway is part of north–south corridor through the Cairns urban area enabling sugarcane grown in the Barron River delta north of Cairns to reach the mill.

Due to continuing population growth in Cairns, Mount Peter has been identified as a priority urban growth corridor for Cairns with a master plan developed for 1582 hectares of land for development as 18,500 homes for approximately 40,000 people.

History
Mount Peter is situated in the Yidinji traditional Aboriginal country.

The locality of Mount Peter is presumably named from the mountain of the same name in neighbouring Lamb Range, which in turn may have been named after Peter Petersen who established a sugarcane plantation in the area in about 1897. In May 1904, Petersen and his son Henry discovered gold on their property. They managed to mine the gold and keep it secret until 1915. By 1932 there were 40 people mining the gold field. The last mine to close was the Talisman Mine in 1985.

In 1983, the first Sikh temple in Queensland was established in Mount Peter on the Bruce Highway.

Mackillop Catholic College opened in 2016 for students in Prep to Year 3, planning to expand from Prep to Year 12 in a number of years.

Scarlett Hughes is overly involved in the lives of everyone around her, and exceptionally interested in the habits of her neighbors. But Scarlett is thrust solidly into her own life when her sister, Juliet, returns home from school—pregnant and surprisingly married to a sweet, handsome man whom she seems to have no interest in, but who is hopelessly in love with her. Forced to take a look inward for the first time, Scarlett discovers the necessity of dreams, as well as the necessity of facing reality and speaking the truth.

Learning Self-control with Ivy
Today's fruit of the Spirit is Self-control. Like the other fruits of the Spirit we've covered, this one is no different in the sense that we are totally dependent upon God to nurture self-control in us. God is the source of every good thing, and this is one of them.
I hope you enjoy this short video that once again stars Ivy desiring a piece of her favorite fruit, a banana. Watch as she struggles to exhibit self-control as she waits for a piece of the banana that I'm eating.
The Greek word for self-control is "egkrateia," and as the term is used by Paul in his letter to the Galatians it means "restraint of one's emotions, impulses, or desires." (A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament. Frederick William Danker. University of Chicago Press; 1957. Pg. 274)
I don't know about you so I'll speak from my own experience here; when I've experienced a desire to do something that is unhealthy or unloving for myself or others or if I've experienced the desire for something and it simply was not the right time for it, partnering with God has made all the difference. When I seek to exhibit self-control by my own strength and initiative, I fail; but when I work through those desires with the help of God, the fruit of the Spirit called self-control finds expression in my life.
If it's true that this world could use more self-control exhibited by the people everywhere, it is equally true that I could use more self-control in my life. With the help of God, may it be so.
By the presence and power of God at work within us, may our lives become ripe with the fruit of the Spirit called self-control to guard against our every unhealthy or unloving desire for ourselves and others and to respond to every situation at the proper time and with life-giving words.
As we seek to live into community with all that has life in Jesus' name, let us pray that we all might experience self-control to guard against the selfishness and greed that too often results in the over-consumption, abandonment, and abuse of wildlife and wild spaces.
Change the desires of my heart, loving God, so that it beats in tune with yours; and may the changes you're bringing about within me find expression in my living.

A disciple is one who learns from the teacher. I like to think of myself as a disciple of Jesus and of Wild Spaces. I feel a sense of belonging in all wild spaces, but I've never felt more fully-alive than while ascending a mountain. Whether I'm walking, running, hiking, climbing, or scrambling I am a saunterer in the sense that Thoreau makes use of the word which he says is derived from the phrase "a la Saint Terre" which means "to the holy land;" perpetually moving onward to the holy land of wild spaces and slowing down to recognize the sacred moments in community with wild neighbors along the way. If something of this has struck a chord with you, then welcome along for the journey...

Under the Affordable Care Act, how soon must new employees receive health coverage?
"Newly hired employees will have to be offered health insurance coverage no later than 90 days after they begin work, under newly proposed healthcare reform law regulations.
"The regulations, jointly issued in March by the Internal Revenue Service and the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services, involve a provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that, effective in 2014, will limit health insurance coverage waiting periods to 90 days.
"Regulators noted that several commenters on previous guidance said it has been 'common practice' for coverage to become effective the first day of the month after an employee's 90-day waiting period. But regulators said 'Due to the clear text of the statute,' waiting periods may not extend beyond 90 days, with all calendar days, including weekends and holidays, counted.
"In the case of where an employer imposes a 90-day waiting period and the 91st day is a weekend or holiday, the employer could make coverage prior to the 91st day for administrative ease. But coverage, regulators said, cannot be later than the 91st day.
"The agencies stuck to their guns on not allowing waiting periods to exceed 90 calendar days—no exceptions for weekends" or holidays, said Amy Bergner, managing director of human resources in Washington for PricewaterhouseCoopers L.L.P.

Facebook says it might stop operating in Europe
Posted on September 23, 2020 / by iwano@_84 /
Facebook said it may stop operating its core app and Instagram in Europe if it's forced to suspend transfers of European Union data back to the US.
In a court filing on the decision, Facebook said it had 410 million monthly active users in Europe.
Facebook's legal fight with Ireland's Data Protection Commission stems from a preliminary order the commission issued earlier this month questioning the validity of the mechanism Facebook uses to send data back to the US.
Facebook said it may stop operating its core app and Instagram in Europe thanks to new regulations affecting how it transfers data from the European Union to the US.
The company filed an affidavit to Ireland's high court on September 10. Ireland's Business Post was the first to report on the document on Sunday.
In the affidavit, Facebook challenged a preliminary order issued earlier this month by Ireland's data privacy watchdog, the Data Protection Commission, threatening to block Facebook from transferring EU data back to the US over privacy concerns.
"In the event that the Applicant were subject to a complete suspension of the transfer of users' data to the US, as appears to be what the DPC proposes, it is not clear to the Applicant how, in those circumstances, it could continue to provide the Facebook and Instagram services in the EU," wrote Yvonne Cunnane, Facebook Ireland's head of data protection and associate general counsel, adding that Facebook had 410 million monthly active users in Europe.
A Facebook spokesman denied that this constituted a threat to withdraw from the EU.
"Facebook is not threatening to withdraw from Europe. Legal documents filed with the Irish High Court set out the simple reality that Facebook, and many other businesses, organizations, and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US in order to operate their services," the spokesman said in a statement.
"A lack of safe, secure, and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hamper the growth of data-driven businesses in the EU, just as we seek a recovery from COVID-19," he added.
Vice News, which obtained Facebook's full affidavit, reported that the tech giant also complained that it was being treated unfairly, as no other US tech companies had been similarly targeted by the DPC.
The DPC's preliminary order questioned the validity of the system Facebook uses to send data back to the US, called standard contractual clauses.
In July, SCCs overall were deemed valid as a cross-country data-transfer mechanism, after the EU dismantled a long-standing EU-US data-transfer agreement called Privacy Shield. However, to qualify for SCCs, countries have to demonstrate a sufficiently high level of data privacy, and the concern is that US data surveillance is too invasive to match up with the EU's high standards.

Who the Clix? Splinter
Posted August 24th, 2020 by Joe Pangrazio
For the full Who The Clix? archive, click here.
Appearances in Heroclix: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Unplugged, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Return, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Heroes in a Half Shell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
First Appearance: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1
Team Affiliations: TMNT, Foot Clan
Created by: Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird
Artwork and characters are copyright/trademark Nickelodeon; used under Fair Use
Note: The Turtles have been adapted more times than most characters. As such, their origin and stories are variations on a common theme. To that end, I am going to cover the basic original source tale of the Turtles. I encourage any of you more interested to look at some of the great collections of Turtles to see some of the strange and wondrous versions of their story.
Hamato Yoshi is the greatest shadow warrior of the Foot Clain in Japan. He owns a rat named Splinter who watches and learns Yoshi's movements while he trains. The love of his life is Tang Shen, a beautiful woman who is also coveted by Oroku Nagi. Nagi confronts Shen and is rejected by the woman which infuriates Nagi. Nagi beats her and soon Yoshi arrives to find his beloved harmed. Unable to control his rage, Yoshi kills Nagi and is punished by the Foot Clan for killing a fellow member: suicide or exile. Yoshi chooses exile and travels to New York City with Splinter and Shen.
Nagi's younger brother, Oroku Saki, trains relentlessly to rise through the ranks of the Foot Clan in order to find Yoshi. He finally succeeds in this task and kills both Shen and Yoshi in revenge for his brother's death.
Splinter escapes to the sewers where he soon finds four baby turtles covered in radioactive material. Exposed to the strange "ooze," all five animals soon begin to grow and have their brains mutated into something resembling the human mind. The rat, named Splinter by his dead master, begins to look after the turtles as sons. He names them after his master's favorite Renaissance artists: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael.
As they grow, he begins to teach them the art of ninjitsu that Splinter himself has learned from watching his master. Splinter uses these exercises to focus the energetic minds of these young boys as well as train them for the mission that has haunted Splinter for years: avenging his fallen master.
After more than a decade of intensive training, Splinter sends his young pupils on their first mission. They go to the surface and face the dreaded Foot Clan and their leader the Shredder. Or as Splinter remembers him, the rival and killer of Hamato Yoshi: Oroku Saki. Though the Shredder is a formidable opponent, together the four brothers are able to best him and avenge the fallen Hamato Yoshi.

Alexandre Lacazette: 'Arsenal are making mistakes because we are learning like children'
Alexandre Lacazette was impressive for Arsenal against Cardiff but many of his team-mates struggles
Luke Edwards
3 September 2018 • 11:00 AM
Alexandre Lacazette has admitted Arsenal will continue to make mistakes as they are like children trying to learn a different set of skills under new manager Unai Emery.
Lacazette scored a wonderful winning goal as Arsenal just about secured all three points from their trip to Cardiff on Sunday, but there were some all too familiar flaws in the team's display in Wales.
Cardiff had failed to score a goal in the Premier League before the weekend, but twice came from behind against the Gunners to equalise and could have snatched a draw as some old failings away from home continued to blight Arsenal's performance.
Lacazette did not try to deny there were problems to solve, but he believes Arsenal will improve the more they get used to Emery's style and methods. Having had one manager for more than two decades in Arsene Wenger, this was always going to be a tricky transition for Arsenal's players, but their French striker is confident they will learn their lessons.
"It was a good game, even if we did some mistakes," said Lacazette, who partnered Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang in attack for the first time against Cardiff.

"We have already learned a lot, but mistakes are going to happen. The manager said, if we do this kind of thing, we can concede a goal. So, we know everything. We just did mistakes because we are learning like children.
"It is okay, it is good, we will be better week after week. We deserved the win, so before the international break it was good to get the three points.
"I think we won just two games in 2018 away from home. This season we want to be better away and it was the first game we have won. I hope that it will the first of many."
Arsenal's away form in this calendar year has been abysmal, so to get a win in only their second away game under Emery was perhaps more important than the performance or the strength of the opposition.
"It is good to get rid of that mental barrier, it's important to win away," Lacazette added. "Like when we started the game like, [we thought] 'Okay we can play like we do at home'.
Lacazette's winner against Cardiff was his first goal of the season credit: AFP
"You can see we had the right mentality. Last season we lost this kind of game. But if you see the [sic] faces after the second goal we had confidence and that was why we came back.
"We have only had four games under the new manager and overall it has been good, even we had two losses. They were against the two champions [Manchester City and Chelsea] of the past two seasons. If you look, the quality of the games is good. Everyone can take pleasure to watch us play – even on the pitch. I know with the new manager it can only be better."
Lacazette's partnership with Aubameyang is a potentially exciting one. They interacted well with each other at times on Sunday, even though both of them prefer to play in a central role, rather than out wide. It is a partnership Lacazette wants to work on.
"It is nice we complement each other's game," he explained "It is always good to play with good players and he deserved to score against Cardiff as he has worked hard from the beginning of the season. Against Chelsea it was hard for him as he missed some chances, but he has got over that.
"I'm happy with Arsenal. I know to be in the first eleven is hard and it is always like that in a big club, but I must keep fighting."

Throughout his more than two-decade career, whether topping the charts as frontman of hard Rock heroes Staind, or his second act as a No. 1 artist on the Country charts as a solo artist, Aaron Lewis has always been painfully honest in his music.
"That's all I've ever done. My songs have always been me wearing my heart on my sleeve, and my emotions on my sleeve, and my misfortunes on my sleeve, my sins on my sleeve," Lewis says. "I don't feel like it would be genuine nor worthy of this crazy ride I've been on if it wasn't."
He is 100 percent open, as he has to be, about his stunning new collection, STATE I'M IN (The Valory Music Co.).
"The songs I wrote on this record, they were some dark times," he says. "The state I'm in is not Mississippi, or Texas, or Massachusetts, it's more about the emotional state I'm in and everything I've surprisingly talked about in this interview. I'm always surprised by what comes out of me. I'm always surprised by the overall content of a record. It is a flow of consciousness."
That consciousness led Lewis to the most vulnerable record of his career. In the gorgeously melancholy title track, Lewis sings candidly, "I'm still working my fingers to the phone/When the show is over I sit alone/Where the angels and the devils are my only friends/And I get up in the morning and I do it again."
One of the most poignant songs is the touching ballad "Love Me." Lewis says that song is a cornerstone of the album. "That was a really heartbreaking song for me to write," he says. "The tears were rolling down my face and blurring the words on the page, I was writing as fast as I could with a pen. The flow of emotion that went into that song was pretty overwhelming."
The album has plenty of up moments musically as well, starting with the opening track, the raucous "The Party's Over," a song that oozes old-school country twang. Another song that screams old-school country is "Burnt the Sawmill Down," which comes from never before heard Keith Whitley lyrics.
"I'm really good friends with Keith's son, Jesse. And Jesse gave me this freaking cassette tape that had his dad in a hotel room with an acoustic guitar, barely in tune, playing what became "Burnt the Sawmill Down," Lewis says. "I took this demo tape and we turned it into the song on the record. It was never anything. I heard the song and we turned it into the song you hear on the record."
For Lewis to get to record a song from the late great Whitley was an extreme honor, as fans can hear when Lewis sings the praises of his country heroes in the track, "It Keeps on Workin'," a song that will draw a lot of attention.
"They used to sing about pickup trucks on my radio/Those S.O.B's are in SUV's that ain't never left the road," Lewis laments about the changes in country music.
"I'm gonna be 47 in April and the Country music that was the soundtrack of my childhood is the Country music of the '70s," he says. "And I don't think I'm pointing out anything that isn't blatantly obvious to anybody who's known more than just the country music you hear on the radio today, which I would argue really is not country music. There isn't even a connecting tissue. There's no line that you can draw. It's a different planet. So, I'm making and writing country music that is reminiscent of the country music that I was force-fed as a kid."
An early favorite live, according to Lewis, is the slow-drawl of "God and Guns," in which Lewis decries those in power. "All the talking heads on TV/They're selling their lies/Saying their way is better for living my life/And I'm fed up with them set up all high on that hill/They don't give a damn about a common man/Hell, they never will."
For Lewis, who remains on the road year-round, new songs are the most exciting way to spice up the live set and, as he puts it, "Hit the refresh button." So, he's been playing several songs off STATE I'M IN and has been very excited by the response.
"It's always nice to put some new stuff in there and even better when people react to it the way people have been reacting to these new songs," he says. "They're hearing them for the first time and reacting to them like they've known them. And the reaction to the songs was like they were a song off their favorite record. That's always motivating and hopeful."
Maybe it is fitting in the dark times that led to this record, Lewis finds his salvation and hope in playing the new material live. As he says, in his powerful honesty, music is the one thing that has kept him going all these years.
"It's absolutely been my saving grace. I don't know how I made it through high school. I don't know how many times I should've died in high school. I don't know how I could've channeled that self-destructive energy away from me in any other way than to have writing as an outlet," he says.
Through that outlet, he has helped many others over the years. Something he says makes it all worthwhile. "It makes it make some sort of sense," he says of every time a fan shares a story of how his music has helped them. "It gives me some sort of peace to know that everything I went through in my childhood, and that I've gone through in my life, had some sort of purpose."

What breaking changes were there from v2.4 to v2.5 regarding Physics?
Thanks @Wingnut! So I have just attempted to convert all to Cannon.JS... However the lack of slider joints has me stumped... May you please take look at this playground and help me? https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/indexStable.html#1PVBTF#85 I've modified the masses a little, changed the physics engine to Cannon and attempted to substitute the slider joints... But I must be doing it wrong since my joints go crazy and my steering is completely broken... 😐 Thanks!
This question may be a little daft... But what breaking changes were made from BabylonJS 2.4 to 2.5 regarding physics? https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/releases/tag/v2.5.0 does not seem to mention it. This is because http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1PVBTF#6 from https://blog.raananweber.com/2016/09/06/webgl-car-physics-using-babylon-js-and-oimo-js/ back in 2016 used BabylonJS 2.4 (from 2016), but now the playground no longer works. I have downloaded and playground and swapped the BabylonJS version to 2.4 (and the corresponding Oimo.js version) on my computer and it works then. Upping the version to 2.5 breaks it. May I know what changes may have caused these (and maybe how to modify the code to work with the new versions of BabylonJS)? Thank you!

No Plans To Make Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Free-To-Play
By Theophilus Fox / February 26th, 2013
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the long-awaited update to Final Fantasy XIV, won't be taking the popular "Free-to-Play" route that other MMOs have, as the game's director Naoki Yoshida explains below.
"With the free-to-play model, you'll get huge income one month, but the next month it depletes," Yoshida said. "Most MMOs have investors in the background and the company uses the profit and splits the profit with the investors. But, if the game's not successful, and it doesn't reach the target, then they have to switch to free-to-play to try and get just a little profit from it. Among the MMOs in the market, only [those by] Blizzard and Square Enix are making money without investors in the background."
Yoshida also goes on to say that he doesn't think that it was the subscriptions that hurt recent MMOs such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Secret World. Rather, to Yoshida, the quality of the games themselves proved to be the biggest detractor. One certainly can't completely bash Square's MMOs, such as Final Fantasy XI which has done extremely well, even over a decade after its release, even if you compare it to Blizzard's World of Warcraft.
No matter how you look at it, though, Final Fantasy XIV's initial 2010 release was so bad that it may have possibly caused Square's $150 million loss in 2011. It's hard not to think that this subscription-based update might follow the same path. In my personal opinion, I don't think the monthly subscription is needed. Square Enix does not have any investors in its MMO, however, so money has to be made somehow.
Let us know what you think about what Yoshida said and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's subscription model below.

Q: Creating a String from a Collection of Objects I have a question. I have a class of Cars that I need to display in a simpli-ish string if they will be sold or not base on their number.
So like this:
Public Class Car
    Property Index As Integer
    Property Sell As Boolean
End Class
Public Class Cars
    Property Vehicles As New List(Of Car) From {
                    {New Car With {.Index = 1, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 2, .Sell = False}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 3, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 4, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 5, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 6, .Sell = False}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 7, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 8, .Sell = True}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 9, .Sell = False}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 10, .Sell = False}},
                    {New Car With {.Index = 11, .Sell = True}}}
End Class

I'd like to display a simple string like this:
Cars to be sold: 1, 3-5, 7-8, 11, which is based of the .Sell value.
Is there some kind of heuristic to create this kind of string in .NET or is it just a bunch of for/each and if/then and redimming of arrays?

A: LINQ would definitely simplify the solution. Without LINQ you could use a StringBuilder and iterate over the list while comparing neighboring items and build up the string. That would be more ideal rather than redimming arrays and such.
Here's a LINQ solution:
Dim query = vehicles.Where(Function(c) c.Sell) _
                    .OrderBy(Function(c) c.Index) _
                    .Select(Function(c, i) New With { .Car = c, .Diff = c.Index - vehicles(i).Index }) _
                    .GroupBy(Function(item) item.Diff) _
                    .Select(Function(item) item.First().Car.Index.ToString() &
                        If(item.Count() > 1, "-" & item.Last().Car.Index.ToString(), ""))

Console.WriteLine("Cars to be sold: " & String.Join(", ", query.ToArray()))

With .NET 4 you can drop the ToArray() call since String.Join has an overload that accepts an IEnumerable<T>.
The code filters out cars with a Sell value of True. It is important for the list to be in order of Car.Index for this to work properly, hence the OrderBy. The logic behind determining consecutive items is to compare neighboring items and group them based on their index difference. If there's a difference of 1 then they are neighbors. So the second Select projects into an anonymous type that stores the Car and the Diff based on the current index minus the previous car's index. The GroupBy groups all the differences together. The last Select builds the range. If the Count is greater than 1 we put a dash between the first and last group items. Otherwise one item exists and we select it as it is. Finally we use String.Join to return the list of values separated by commas.

A: I would do this:
Dim list_sold = Vehicles.Where(Function(x As Car) x.Sell = True)
Dim list_index = list_sold.Select(Function(x As Car) x.Index.ToString())

Console.WriteLine("Cars to be sold: {0}", String.Join(", ", list_index))

Q: Understanding the Power Group (a permutation group) Let $\text{Map}\left(N, R\right)$ denote the set of mappings from the set $N$ to the set $R$. Given permutation groups $G,H$ on the sets $N, R$, respectively, $G$ and $H$ give rise to another permutation group, called the power group (on the set $\text{Map}\left(N, R\right)$) given by
$$H^G := \lbrace h^g: g\in G, h\in H\rbrace \tag{power group}$$
where $$h^g \left(f\right) := hfg \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\forall f\in \text{Map}\left(N, R\right).$$
Further, for finite sets $N, R$, with $\lvert R \rvert >1$, the order of $H^G$ is $\lvert H\rvert \lvert G \rvert$, whereas the cardinality of $\text{Map}\left(N, R\right)$ is $\lvert R \rvert ^{\lvert N \rvert}$.
I need assistance with the definition/notation of the power group $H^G$ since my current understanding of it leads me to the false conclusion that $\text{Map}\left(N, R\right)$ always has cardinality $1$.
Example. Let $G$ and $H$ be singletons (groups) consisting of the identity permutations on $N, R$, respectively. Define $e_G, e_H$ to be the identity elements of $G, H,$ respectively. Consider $h=e_H, g=e_G$. For any $f\in \text{Map}\left(N, R\right)$, we have
$$h^g\left(f\right)=e_Hfe_G=f,$$
(since for any $x\in N$, we have $e_Hfe_G(x)=e_H f(x)=f(x)$) and this implies $H^G=\text{Map}\left(N,R\right)$. However, this would imply
$$\lvert \text{Map}\left(N, R\right)\rvert=\lvert H^G \rvert= \lvert H \rvert \lvert G \rvert=1$$ for any sets $N, R$.

A: You only considered one element $h^g$ of $H^G$, namely the one where $h$ and $g$ are the neutral elements of the respective groups. Also, you verified that this (one) element if $H^G$ acts as the identity on $\operatorname{Map}(N,R)$, so is apparently the neutral element of the group $H^G$. Ultimately, we certainly do not have $H^G=\operatorname{Map}(B,R)$ ever because elements of $H^G$ are maps from $\operatorname{Map}(N,R)$ to itself and not maps from $N$ to $R$.

If you're a fan of South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook (J.S.A., his Vengeance trilogy, and Thirst), you'll make a bee line for his newest film, THE HANDMAIDEN, which is very probably his best. It is certainly his most beautiful film, often breathtaking in its color and composition, but it is also his most placid -- even thought it's filled with mystery, betrayals, and finally just a tad's worth of his signature violence and blood. It is also one of the sexiest, most voluptuous movies I've ever seen -- brought to life, or at least to movie life, with that peculiar (to us westerners) Asian blend of inscrutability, perversity and out-and-out passion that offers up a very hot time.
Mr. Park, shown at left, is gifted in so many areas -- storytelling, visual sense and provocation -- that prove pertinent to the tale he tells here. It is lifted pretty much intact (as I remember, at least) from the British lesbian mystery series Fingersmith, which was set in Victorian England and first shown on television in 2005. Park has made the move to Korea and Japan seem utterly appropriate in terms of plot, behavior and all else. And his movie is maybe ten times as beautiful as was the original -- which was perfectly fine in its own manner.
The tale told involves a pretty young girl who is a pickpocket in a family of criminals, another of whom, posing as a wealthy Count, has wormed his way into the trust of a man who controls the inheritance of a niece whom the Count plans to woo, marry, dispose of, and inherit her wealth. To more easily accomplish this. he uses the young girl to serve as the lady's hand-maiden and help convince her that this Count is the man of her dreams.
The plot may have its coincidences and contrivances but so enthralling are the characters and the beautiful visuals that I don't think you'll mind one bit. (I kept wanting to takes notes on the film but could not pry my eyes away from the screen long enough to do so.) A terrific cast has been assembled here, and it performs to the hilt. The little details Park allows us to witness -- taking care of milady's too-sharp tooth, for instance -- are just about perfectly chosen for both beauty and intimacy.
This movie is so full of quiet surprise and finally a kind of passionate dedication to freedom for its quartet of characters (in very different ways, however) that I don't want to spoil one bit more of the rapturously convoluted plot by blabbing further. The Handmaiden -- like Snowpiercer and a number of other South Korean films -- keeps this little country still at the forefront of some of the best and most unusual mainstream arthouse cinema.
Being distributed across the USA by Magnolia Pictures, running 145 minutes and remaining unrated, the movie -- after opening in New York and L.A. last week to mostly excellent reviews -- hits cities around the country this Friday, October 28. Here in South Florida, it plays the Coral Gables Art Cinema in the Miami area, the Miami Beach Cinematheque, and the Cinemark Palace 20 in Boca Raton.

Christians Fight for Their Religious Rights and They Are in a Battle
| Written By Corine Gatti-Santillo |
Many of us never thought the day would come when praying would lead to arrests and jail time. When pursuing Christian beliefs wouldn't put a person in court. Or how about small businesses following employment laws, becoming targets for lawsuits because of the "gender identity" agenda? Assuredly not in America, right?
Prayer warrior and businessman Richard Patten, a Washington, D.C. resident didn't believe so. The Secret Service arrested him for anointing the White House gates with holy oil.
"They took me off to jail for the most uncomfortable night I've ever had in my life," said Patten who has prayed over the White House for a decade.
He was later exonerated by a judge.
In Washington state, the State Supreme Court (Washington v. Arlene's Flowers), ruled against florist Barronelle. Stutzman turned away a gay couple requesting a floral arrangement for their wedding and declined because of her relationship with Jesus Christ.
Tom Rost, the owner of R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes in Michigan, is fighting for freedom at the Supreme Court. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit against Harris Funeral Homes in 2013. His male funeral director at the time agreed to abide by the company's sex-specific dress code but demanded to dress as a woman during working hours. Small businesses are permitted by law to have sex-specific dress codes. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a lawsuit anyway and a sex discrimination lawsuit.

Alliance Defending Freedom explained the motives of the EEOC. "To achieve these political goals, the EEOC decided that the definition of "sex" in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act should be rewritten to mean "gender identity." But neither government agencies nor courts have the authority to rewrite federal law. That's a blatant and unconstitutional overreach."
The EEOC reversed their initial position.
We are beyond the act of tolerance in society. We're frightened to defend ourselves in fear of lawsuits and threats by antagonists. Where are the rights of the people in the cases and situations mentioned? Where is the tolerance towards them?
Dr. Rice Broocks, author of God's Not Dead and The Human Right revealed people can't differentiate between truth and tolerance in today's culture.
"By saying something is true, it logically follows that there is something false. If telling others, the truth is surveyed as intolerant then society would cease to function. If we aren't certain that Christianity is true, then we will be hesitant to engage others of different religions or beliefs. Complacency is rooted in confusion and uncertainty in regard to what is true."
Christian activists gather outside of the Supreme Court in support of Colorado cake baker Jack Phillips on Dec. 5, 2017. RNS photo by Chris Mathews
What is true? The truth is we're in a society that selects what laws to follow or not to follow, despite the law or what the Constitution has lined out. As long as choices don't undermine those of opposing views, it's fine. The Constitution applies to all people — a paradigm for governance other countries model. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the freedom of speech, religion and the press. This includes peaceful protest and "petitioning the government."
We can remain respectful but adhere to our rights as written in the Constitution. We respect the law, still pray for the White House with physical barriers, regard EEO laws and choose what flower arrangements jobs to not accept if it collides with personal religious beliefs. America is a place where all people can live out their faith freely. This what makes us great.

In this Episode, the Dragon King makes a bet with a fortune teller unaware that his bet is against Fate itself.
The Emperor Tang and the Ghosts by Roberta Mansell
The Emperor and the Dragon King
In the city of Chang-an, there lived two good friends: a fisherman named Chang and a woodsman named Li. Between them they had no formal education. However, they were known for their intelligence and their cultured talk.
Whenever they were free, they would carouse at the wine shops and then amble together along the river. One day, saying goodbye at the bridge, Chang said to Li:
"Beware of the tigers in the forest, my friend. I wouldn't want to lose you"
"It's unlucky to speak of such things," retorted Li. "Your boat could just as easily capsize on the river!"
"My friend, that is very unlikely. I know an excellent fortune-teller in the marketplace. His skills are sublime and he is always right in his predictions. For the price of a few coins each
morning he tells me where I should fish and as you know I never come home empty-handed."
Now there is an old saying that what you tell to the air will be heard in the grass. Underneath that bridge happened to be a nature spirit whose job it was to patrol the river. He raced to the dragon king in charge of the river and its denizens and told him what he had overheard.
"If you don't stop this soothsayer, your Majesty, he will deplete the waters of this river of all your watery subjects."
The dragon king was incensed. He immediately sent for his sword and vowed to cut off the head of the fortune-teller. But his ministers restrained his hand. Would it not be wiser to see for himself if these things were true? It would be an offence against Heaven to execute someone who was innocent of a crime. The dragon king saw the wisdom of this advice and the following day he disguised himself as a scholar and made his way to the marketplace.
The fortune-teller was not difficult to find. There was a throng of people milling around his stall. The dragon king pushed his way to the front of the crowd and sat down before him. After the customary polite exchanges, he enquired as to whether or not it would rain that day. The fortune-teller gave a detailed reply, stating not only when it would rain but also when it would start and stop and exactly how much rain would fall.
The dragon king laughed, but then informed the fortune-teller that these prophesies were in fact no laughing matter. If the fortune-teller was right, he would come back the next day with a reward of fifty gold pieces, but if he was wrong, he would tear down the imposter's stall and drive him out of the city so that he could no longer cheat its good citizens of their hard-earned money.
The dragon king was confident that that the fortune-teller would be proven wrong. After all, the king was the Supreme Regent of the Eight Rivers and was himself in charge of the rainfall in his area. However, as soon as the dragon king returned to his palace, there was a voice in the sky announcing a messenger from Heaven dressed all in gold. He bore the Jade Emperor's detailed plan for rain that day. It was exactly as the fortune teller had predicted. The dragon king was aghast:
"I never would have thought that the mortal world contained such a magician," he gasped. "He has mastered the principles of Heaven and Earth."
"Calm yourself," advised one of his fish generals.
He advised the king that all he had to do was change very slightly the Emperor's instructions for that day. This would be enough to make the fortune-teller look like a charlatan in the eyes of the people.
The following day the dragon king returned to the marketplace. He made a great show of turning over the store and smashing the fortune-tellers sign, declaring him to be a fraud. However, the fortune-teller was unperturbed.
"I know exactly who you are," said the fortune-teller. "It is not I who have disobeyed the laws of Heaven. The Jade Emperor has already signed the warrant for your execution which will take place tomorrow at noon."
Terrified by this news, the dragon king threw himself at the fortune-teller's feet and begged his forgiveness.
"Please, you must help me!" he pleaded.
The fortune-teller told the king that one of the court officials, a minister by the name of Wei-Cheng, had been selected by the Jade Emperor to carry out the execution. If the dragon king managed to persuade the Emperor to keep this minister occupied, his life might be spared.
That night the dragon king entered the Jade Emperor's dream and implored him to help. The Emperor felt sorry for him as he understood the heavy responsibility that he shouldered looking after his subjects. In the end, the Emperor agreed to keep his minister busy playing chess the following day.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan. At precisely 11:00 o'clock the Jade Emperor summoned his minister, Wei-Cheng, and they passed an agreeable hour playing chess. However just before noon, without warning, the minister dozed off for about a minute. Time on Earth and time in Heaven are very different and in that one minute the minister's soul was summoned to Heaven. He was given his instructions and he carried them out immediately. After returning to Earth, the Jade Emperor and his minister Wei-Cheng carried on playing chess and half an hour later two of his Majesty's officers rushed in carrying the dragon king's bloody head.
"We have never seen such a thing," they exclaimed. "It fell from the sky!"
The Emperor was very upset. Wei-Cheng, who knew nothing of the plan that the Emperor had hatched the night before, apologised deeply for being the cause of so much unhappiness. Yet there was nothing more to be done. The Emperor felt very badly about the whole affair but he could hardly blame his minister for what had happened.
