Cover of Attack on Titan: Junior High volume one.
Attack on Titan: Junior High (Japanese: 進撃!巨人中学校, Hepburn: Shingeki! Kyojin Chūgakkō, lit. "Attack! Titan Junior High") is a Japanese comedy manga series written and illustrated by Saki Nakagawa and published in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine from April 2012 to July 2016. The series is a parody of Hajime Isayama's popular manga series Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人, Shingeki no Kyojin).
The manga has been adapted into an anime television series which began airing in October 2015. A rebroadcast was aired during January 2016.
The story is a parody of the Attack on Titan manga, featuring younger, chibi versions of the characters as they attend the "Class 1-04" at the Attack Junior High School (進撃中学校, Shingeki Chūgakkō). The story focuses on their adventures during the first year at school.
Eren Yeager is a hot-blooded young boy who especially enjoys eating cheeseburgers. He harbors an intense hatred of Titans due to an incident where the Colossal Titan (the principal of the Titan campus) stole his lunch, and is driven to break school rules in order to eliminate all the Titans in the world. While he does not have the uncanny strength of Mikasa or the intelligence of Armin, his ambition to exterminate the Titans drives him to complete and exceed his goals, and astonish his classmates with his passion and drive.
Mikasa Ackerman is a stoic girl who seemingly has a handle on most situations that often disarrays, scares or incapacitates her peers. She is very close to Eren, to the point that she becomes depressed and all her abilities are greatly reduced when he is not present. She is very protective of both Eren and Armin, seeing them as her precious family she cannot lose.
Armin Arlert is a very intelligent but sickly boy who regularly wears a futon over his head to avoid catching a cold. He is a good friend to Eren and Mikasa, and frequently relies on their protection. Despite his poor self-esteem, his intellect often serves to aid his friends in bad situations.
Reiner Braun is a very muscular student, who is always seen together with his friend Bertolt, for whom he tries to help find a girlfriend. He has a crush on Krista and always tries to woo her.

Annie Leonhart is an introverted girl whose strength rivals that of Mikasa. Like Eren, she also loves cheeseburgers.
Jean Kirstein is an egotistic boy whose primary concern in school is becoming popular amongst girls. He has a crush on Mikasa, and frequently comes into conflict with Eren.
Marco Bott is a friendly student and a good friend to Jean, whom he tries his best to help.
Connie Springer is a sporty, outgoing boy with a buzz cut. Despite his upbeat personality, he is quite slow-witted.
Sasha Blouse is a fun-loving girl with a gluttonous appetite who spends most of her time thinking about food.
Krista Lenz is a petite, friendly and warm-hearted girl who is well loved by her peers, to the point many express their wishes to marry her.
Ymir is a close friend of Krista. She is extremely protective of Krista, often thwarting Reiner, is always around her side, and she openly claims to want to marry her.

After multiple rounds, only two teams are left: one with Jean, Mikasa, Armin, Marco, Sasha, and Connie; the other with Annie, Reiner, Bertold, Ymir, and Krista. At the last moment, however, Eren arrives, allowing Mikasa to give the game her all, battling to a tie with Annie while everyone else is eliminated.

Hannes, the club's advisor, arrives to show him how it is done, but crashes into the wall due to being drunk. This allows Rico to save face by blaming the broken equipment on Hannes.

When they ask her why she can't afford her own, she shows them the two Titans she is keeping captive, forcing her to use up the biology club's budget as well as her allowance to feed them. Levi takes pity on her and gives her a bag of dog food to feed the Titans, which she then eats herself.

Annie then arrives at the park, and reveals that the letter was not from her, but from a Titan who fell in love with Jean after he gave it food as a distraction while he and Marco fled. Much to his classmates horror, Jean refuses to accept reality, instead convincing himself that the Titan is a normal girl. He soon comes to his senses, however, and rejects her; she smashes him into the ground and runs away, vowing not to give up.

Cowardly snitch hides behind woman's skirt
Cars, some unregistered and without tag park on a side street waiting their turn with the unlicensed mechanic
Cowards have to depend on their vendettas and lies and innuendos to hurt the one behind the eyes of the beholder. Cowards are the ones who lie and create problems where there are no problems and do so behind the scenes, hiding under the skirts of an old female or by snitching on someone without proof.
Everything this newspaper has been reporting about people working as mechanics without a license, without insurance, without paying taxes or without reporting income to the local state treasurer or any other government office, has been the truth and nothing but the truth.
Cowards hiding under the skirt of the old woman of the house called Animal Control accusing the family of the Las Vegas Tribune owners of fake charges connecting them to animal abuse knowing that no one loves animals more than the Larraz family.
First the people from across the street claimed that the family has several dogs in the house when nothing is further from the truth; the family did have two German Shepherds for protection of their life and their property, but the dogs were poisoned, coincidentally, after the newspaper started the series of articles about people operating businesses in residential areas without any city business license.
They reported the family as having ignored the care of the back and front yards not knowing that city personnel are aware that neither the back nor front yards are going to be "taken care of" until the business in the residential area stops or starts operating in a residential area with a business license, something that the city of Las Vegas cannot give them for a residential area.
It all started when the original owner of the house, one of the founders of the Las Vegas Tribune now deceased, requested a permit to build a storage room and was denied for unknown reasons, yet later the next door neighbor built an apartment in his back yard and the Larraz family questioned code enforcement for the difference in treatment between a Cuban-American individual and a Mexican by agents of the code enforcement department.
The Mercedes Benz owned by one Larraz family member who at the time was not living at the address was left parked in front of the Larraz home while on an out-of-town trip; the car was registered, has a license plate and insurance, but a code enforcement agent by the name of Tony Rogers ticketed the car anyway, while the "mechanic" parks cars up and down the street waiting to be worked on.
The incident was reported to city officials, business license and code enforcement officials, yet Tony Rogers went away and Lisa Hartman, a female code enforcement officer with an attitude, and friend of the across-the-street neighbor, had the audacity to give the Larraz family a citation for having the trash bins by the garage door because the residents at that address are too old to take the containers to the back of the house.
When the wall in the Larraz home was taken down by a drunk driver, Hartman had the audacity to want to charge the family a $120.00 fine for the wall, making it very obvious that the Larraz family was "persona non grata" in the code enforcement department of city hall.
We are aware that criminals have rights. Metro always reminds us of that fact. And we understand that there are always three sides to every story, but the fact is that it is not fair that many people have to pay for their business licenses and taxes (reporting annually to the Internal Revenue Service), pay rent or mortgage, power bills, internet access and many other incidentals, while others work out of their female friend's home, making money fixing cars that may not be too well fixed after all because the same cars keep coming back over and over, perhaps with the same mechanical problem, while the city continues playing defense attorney for a Mexican that built apartments without code, permits, or even insurance.
It is unknown at this time if the controversy is due to the antagonistic gestures of the councilwoman toward the newspaper, the negative articles of the newspaper toward the councilwoman, the reporting of businesses operating in a residential area without licenses for as far back as five years, or that we, the newspaper, stopped erecting a building without permits, or because of the possible connection between some of the members of the code enforcement department with some residents on the controversial city street, but what is a reality is that the tension is getting very tight and getting to an extremely dangerous level. The city, code enforcement and business license departments and even Metro may need to intervene to avoid a sad ending to this family feud.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
"You wouldn't be able to do these awful things to me
if I weren't still in this chair, Jane!"
"But you are, Blanche! You are in that chair!"
– Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" (1962)
Notice to cinemagoers at the time of the film's release in 1962:
Things you should know about this motion picture before buying a ticket:
1) If you're long-standing fans of Miss Davis and Miss Crawford, we warn you this is quite unlike anything they've ever done.
2) You are urged to see it from the beginning.
3) Be prepared for the macabre and the terrifying.
4) We ask your pledge to keep the shocking climax a secret.
5) When the tension begins to build, try to remember it's just a movie.
Bette Davis and Victor Buono in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford make a couple of formidable freaks in Robert Aldrich's "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Original New York Times review, 7 November 1962: We're afraid this unique conjunction of the two one-time top-ranking stars in a story about two aging sisters who were once theatrical celebrities themselves does not afford either opportunity to do more than wear grotesque costumes, makeup to look like witches and chew the scenery to shreds.
As this pair of profoundly jealous has-beens who live alone in an old Hollywood house, where one of them (Miss Crawford), a cripple, is confined to a wheelchair as the result of a long-ago vindictive "accident," they do get off some amusing and eventually blood-chilling displays of screaming sororal hatred and general monstrousness.
[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qFYjkFCxiE[/embedyt]
Especially Miss Davis. As the mobile one who is slowly torturing to death the helpless sister whose fame as a movie actress eclipsed her own as a child vaudeville star, she shrieks and shrills in brazen fashion, bats her huge mascaraed eyes with evil glee, snarls at the charitable neighbors and acts like a maniac. Indeed, it is only as a maniac that her character can be credited here – a sadly demented creature who is simply working out an ancient spite.
If you see her as that and see this picture, which opened yesterday in several score neighborhood theaters, as a "chiller" of the old-fashioned type – as a straight exercise in studied horror – you may find it a fairly gripping film.
The feeble attempts that Mr. Aldrich has made to suggest the irony of two once idolized and wealthy females living in such depravity and the pathos of their deep-seated envy having brought them to this, wash out very quickly under the flood of sheer grotesquerie. There is nothing particularly moving or significant about these two.
Joan Crawford in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Miss Crawford does have the less malevolent and more sympathetic role. As a poor thing stuck in a wheelchair, unable to counter or resist her diabolic sister when she delivers a dinner tray bearing a dead pet canary or a scalded rat, she might earn one's gentle compassion. But she is such a sweetly smiling fraud, such an artlessly helpless ninny, that one feels virtually nothing for her. No wonder her crazy sister finds her a deadly bore.
Of course, she does have her big chance to chew some scenery when she has to drag herself to the telephone and when she later thrashes about in pop-eyed terror with her hands tied and a tape across her mouth.
Victor Buono gets a nice chance to do some elaborate acting, too. He plays a fat piano player who is invited into the house. But his weirdly epicene intruder is little more than a colorful buffoon, a bit of comic relief, in the proceedings. He takes a fast powder toward the end.
Maidie Norman also gets in for a few tense scenes as an anxious maid, and Anna Lee burbles occasionally as the woman who lives next door.
Of course, we won't tell you how it comes out. But the revelation at the end would be enough to tag the whole thing synthetic and a contrivance, if nothing else did – which it does.
Bosley Crother – New York Times
While Bette Davis took delight in looking dreadful for the film, the opposite was true of Joan Crawford. Even though Blanche had once been a beautiful young actress, she was now is her 50s, confined to a wheelchair, emaciated and wasting away. It was difficult for Crawford to appear unattractive, since she had always been considered one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars. "It was a constant battle to get her not to look gorgeous," said Davis. "She wanted her hair well dressed, her gowns beautiful and her fingernails with red nail polish. For the part of an invalid who had been cooped up in a room for twenty years, she wanted to look attractive. She was wrong." – IMDB
Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
According to Bette Davis, Joan Crawford refused to dispose of her falsies. "As part of her wardrobe, Miss Crawford owned three sizes of bosoms. In the famous scene in which she lay on the beach, Joan wore the largest ones. Let's face it, when a woman lies on her back, I don't care how well endowed she is, her bosoms do not stand straight up. And Blanche had supposedly wasted away for twenty years. The scene called for me to fall on top of her. I had the breath almost knocked out of me. It was like falling on two footballs!" – IMDB
Early on, Bette Davis made the decision to create her own makeup for Jane. "What I had in mind no professional makeup man would have dared to put on me," said Davis. "One told me he was afraid that if he did what I wanted, he might never work again. Jane looked like many women one sees on Hollywood Boulevard. In fact author Henry Farrell patterned the character of Jane after these women. One would presume by the way they looked that they once were actresses, and were now unemployed.
I felt Jane never washed her face, just added another layer of makeup each day." Davis' garish makeup made her look something akin to a grotesque version of an ageing Mary Pickford gone to seed, and she loved it. She took pride when Farrell visited the set one day and exclaimed, "My God, you look just exactly as I pictured Baby Jane." The outrageousness of Davis' appearance caused some concern for Aldrich and the producers who feared it might be too over-the-top. However, as time went on, they came to see that Davis' instincts for the character were right. – IMDB
Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
Classic Film and TV Cafe: "A sleeper that became a sensation when it was released, the film sparked a trend in casting one-time Hollywood leading ladies in horror/thriller melodramas. However, none of those that followed were on a par with Baby Jane: Crawford in Strait-Jacket, Berserk, etc.; Davis in Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte, Dead Ringer, etc.; Olivia de Havilland in Lady in a Cage (and Charlotte with Davis and Joseph Cotten)…and even Joan Bennett in the gothic TV phenomenon, "Dark Shadows." But the film did more than make money (it was the first Hollywood film to earn back its budget in one weekend) and set a trend, it was also nominated for five Academy Awards and won for best B&W costume design.
"This film is celebrated for many reasons, but it is the performance of Bette Davis that cements Baby Jane's place as a classic outside any genre. Davis "kicks out the jams" and gives a bravura portrayal, one of fascinating depth. Her Baby Jane Hudson is a grotesque, yes, she's over-the-top and she is terrifying at times, but she also has comic elements and she is also a tragic, even touching figure. Crawford deserves attention, too, for bravely going toe-to-toe with Davis and turning in one of her most interesting performances, and Victor Buono is also notable for his magnificently repellent rendition of the corpulent accompanist Jane hires when she decides to return to show business." – Classic Film and TV Cafe
Greenbriar Picture Shows: A visit to Jack Paar's talk program found Davis regaling the host over Hollywood's initial reluctance to back she and Crawford as co-stars. "We wouldn't give you a dime for those two old broads" was self-deprecating humor to roll viewers in the aisles, but Crawford was less amused (her letter the following day asked that Davis not refer to her as an old broad). This may have actually been where enmity between the two had beginnings, for Davis was nothing if not outrageous during interviews and cared less about maintaining dignity Crawford cherished.
Bette Davis seemed to have divined those camp sensibilities Baby Jane would eventually appeal to. She embraced the full out performing needed to put this one over, both onscreen and as uninhibited promoter for the film. It was OK by Davis to see her early emoting submitted to ridicule during opening flashback sequences detailing why Baby Jane never made it as an ingenue player. – Greenbriar Picture Shows
Bette Davis, Jack Warner, Joan Crawford and Robert Aldrich, director of "Baby Jane".
Jack Warner (above in his office) likened sneak audience reaction to a match lit in a paint factory (watch Baby Jane on television and imagine how those shudders reverberated over a hundred rows of seats). Aldrich had started out with a good story, plus Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, neither of whom raised interest or dollars among prospective studio backers. – Greenbriar Picture Shows

RI Presidential Message for April
Every two minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman dies from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. And babies whose mothers die within the first six weeks of their lives are far more likely to die themselves than babies whose mothers survive. As I've traveled around the world as president of Rotary, I've met families for whom these aren't simply tragic statistics.
But I've also met people who are devoting themselves to helping mothers and children — and because of them, I'm hopeful. And because many of those people are Rotarians, I'm also proud. April is Maternal and Child Health Month in Rotary, so it's a perfect time to tell you about some things Rotarians are doing that will make you proud too.
Last fall, I paid a visit to a hospital in the town of Jekabpils, in Latvia. It's a modern hospital, and the doctors and nurses there are caring, dedicated, and skilled. But despite all their hard work, the maternal mortality rate at the hospital had remained stubbornly high, due to a factor that was beyond their control: a lack of vital diagnostic equipment and even basic items like incubators.
And that's where Rotary came in. Twenty-one clubs from around the world joined forces for a global grant that provided what the hospital required. And in September, when I walked into the maternity ward there, I saw state-of-the-art equipment, and I met patients who were getting the care that they needed and that every mother and child in the world deserves to have.
In Brazil, club members worked with fellow Rotarians in Japan on a global grant project that dramatically increased the capacity of an overstretched neonatal intensive care unit. New incubators, monitors, and other equipment have enabled the local hospital to save many more babies' lives each year.
And in Mongolia, a vocational training team from New Zealand organized instruction in emergency response techniques for doctors and midwives, set up a program that taught midwives modern best practices, and researched and wrote a culturally relevant childbirth education manual. Between 2013, when the team first went to Mongolia, and 2017, the neonatal mortality rate in the country fell from 11.2 to 9.1 per 1,000 births, and the maternal mortality rate has decreased as well.
That's what I mean when I talk about transformational service, and it's what Rotarians do best. Because of our networks, which span the globe; our community presence, which allows us to see what's most needed; and our expertise, which encompasses countless skills and professions, we're able to serve in a manner that has no equal. And we're able to Be the Inspiration as we help those who need us most.
In Nakivale, Uganda, one special Rotaract club is making a difference in its community — which happens to be a refugee settlement. These young leaders are turning what others might see as disadvantages into opportunities for service, building community and opening up new possibilities to those who are most in need of them.
In Turkey, Rotaractors are visiting children in the hospital every Wednesday to lift their spirits by playing games with them. They also are mentoring new students at their university and teaching them leadership skills.
Rotaractors are blazing the path for Rotary to be more relevant in this new century of service. And World Rotaract Week, which we're celebrating 11-17 March, is the perfect opportunity to get to know your local Rotaractors and talk to them about how your clubs can work together. If your Rotary club doesn't already sponsor a Rotaract club, know that you don't need to be near a college or university to do it: Community-based Rotaract clubs are a great option. And remember that Rotaractors are part of the Rotary family.
When Rotaractors are ready to leave their Rotaract club, we don't want them to leave that Rotary family behind. I'm asking all Rotarians to help them make the transition into a Rotary club or to start a new one: I'm happy to charter as many new clubs as we need to give everyone a place where they feel at home while making the world a little better. Service should be fun, it should be inspirational, and it should be open to all.
If there's one thing Rotary has always excelled at, it's diversity. In the past, that often meant diversity of profession, nationality, and outlook. We've made great strides when it comes to diversity of age and gender, and as we welcome more Rotaractors into our organization, we'll become even stronger.
Rotary is powerful. Together with Rotaract, it is unstoppable. Working side by side, we have the potential to Be the Inspiration in every part of society, to every person we meet.


Travel about 13.5 miles north of Pioche on U.S. 93, then west on a graded road for about 6 miles.
The Bristol Charcoal Kilns were built in the 1870's out of native stone for the purpose of making charcoal from juniper or pinion wood. The charcoal was used for smelting ore and operating blacksmith shops. The kilns operated for many years and are unique in design, craftsmanship and large size.
Although more than a hundred years have passed, many wood cutting sites can still be found in the juniper forests near the kilns. Huge tree stumps are reminders of the vast amount of labor and resources used to produce the charcoal.
Evidence of the milling operation at Bristol Wells is visible in the smelter tailings, even though all of the buildings are now gone, leaving only picturesque ruins and a stone house.

A brief history of ecosystem services
Home / A brief history of ecosystem services
By David Salt, Editor (ANU) Feb 1, 2017
When did the notion of 'ecosystem services' take on real meaning? In one sense, it stretches back to the beginning of history with Plato noting the connection between deforestation, soil erosion and the drying of springs. However, attempting to frame the benefits of nature in a way that enabled us to make decisions around the manner in which we managed natural resources didn't really happen till the Twentieth Century.
Some suggest it arose after the Second World War with eco philosophers like Aldo Leopold promoting a recognition of human dependence on the environment. Others claim it was the 1970s when the term 'nature's services' and then 'environmental services' began to be used (along with the idea of 'natural capital'). The term 'ecosystem services' was first used by Paul and Anne Ehrlich in their book Extinction in 1981. Through the 80s and 90s a number of efforts were made to put a variety of values on the benefits of these services.
However, it was probably the publication of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005 that put the idea on centre stage for the world to play with. This monumental work, involving over 1300 scientists, included a framework for how it might be assessed. It found that 15 of the 24 ecosystem services it investigated around the world are in a state of decline and this is likely to have a large and negative impact on future human welfare.
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment defined ecosystem services as 'the benefits people obtain from ecosystems'; and since the release of the Assessment the number of studies addressing ecosystems services has risen exponentially, so clearly the idea has had enormous traction. For all that, ecosystem services has yet to fundamentally change land-use decision-making (see Decision Point #94), however there is growing body of evidence linking decisions to impacts on natural capital and ecosystem services. In this special issue we showcase some of CEED's work in this area.
As always, I'd like to thank the CEED researchers who helped with the preparation of stories in this issue but special mention goes to Maria Martinez-Harms who provided much appreciated assistance in planning and organising the line up we have for you here.
Is ecosystem services an idea whose time has come? Consider the stories in this special issue of Decision Point and see what you think.
