Anime ListNews
9 Anime Like Log Horizon You Must See
'Log Horizon' starts off as a very bland version of 'Sword Art Online' but it soon turns into an anime that is probably the second-best thing that has ever happened to the gaming anime genre. In the case of most similar anime shows, a similar setup with gaming rules makes them more cliched and repetitive. But 'Log Horizon' wisely implements these gaming rules is such a way that it actually turns to become a very well-thought-out show which has been strategically devised to perfection. Especially for those who are familiar with games like 'World of Warcraft', 'Log Horizon' has a very special appeal. That being said, if like many viewers out there, you were left disheartened when 'Log Horizon' came to an end, we've got a list of some similar anime shows just for you. You can watch many of these anime like Log Horizon on Hulu, Crunchyroll and Funimation.
9. DanMachi (2015-)
'Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?', also known as 'DanMachi', is a well-known fantasy comedy that brings in elements very similar to that of an RPG. It's a typical Ecchi that also has an interesting story along with its excessive fanservice. What makes it similar to 'Log Horizon' is its obvious use of gaming references such as gaining experience points, leveling up and even acquiring magic. Its fresh non-Isekai setup gives it more of a fresh appeal compared to all the other similar shows out there.
Its story is about a young boy named Bell Cranell whose life is saved a female swordswoman. Named Ais, she is a calm young girl who proves to be extremely powerful during battles. Into the deep dark catacombs of the city, Bell sets out on a journey with her and hopes that someday, he will be able to be as strong and worthy as Ais.
8. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (2016)
'Hai to Gensou no Grimgar' follows a fantasy game concept which is very similar to that of 'Log Horizon'. In both the shows, the protagonists are a bunch of warriors who find themselves in a world where survival is their prime motive. But unlike 'Log Horizon', which focuses more on the political structure of the new world, 'Hai no Gensou no Grimgar' keeps it's storyline quite simple and only revolves around the day-to-day survival of the characters. Another thing that's common between the two is that both will be quite relatable for anyone who has ever played MMORPGs. They involve typical skills and battle strategies that resonate with all the gamers out there. Another way to look at it is that both the shows are just alternate extensions of each other and if you enjoyed watching 'Log Horizon', you will surely love this one.
7. Spice and Wolf (2008)
'Spice and Wolf' also involves several political and economical themes in context with a fantasy world. Apart from that, it also packs a whole lot of action and fantasy elements which are very similar to 'Log Horizon' and 'Sword Art Online'.
The story of 'Spice and Wolf' takes a more romantic turn and is not exactly confined to the idea of survival. It starts off by introducing a traveler named Kraft Lawrence who is on a quest to find a stable way to earn some income. But along the way, he runs into a very beautiful girl who has furry wolf-like ears and a tail. He later comes to realize that she is actually a harvest goddess known as Solo and she only intends to return to her home. What follows is the story of the two characters who set out on journey along the countryside. This journey takes them through a rollercoaster of emotions where they get to learn a lot about love, but eventually, they're both left with heavy hearts full of sorrow.
6. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006-2007)
Compared to all the other shows on this list, 'Code Geass' barely has anything in common with 'Log Horizon'. It has an entirely different premise and it does not even come close to being a gaming anime. But if you were drawn to the main character, Akatsuki, of 'Log Horizon', you will absolutely love Lelouch from 'Code Geass'. Both these characters are the smartest anime characters of all time and are basically strategic geniuses. Apart from this, the two shows also have some minor fantasy elements in common.
Set in the year 2010, Japan has been taken over by the Holy Empire of Britannia that holds a secret impeccable weapon. This is when Lelouch, an ordinary Britannia student, gets caught up in a crossfire between the Japanese rebel forces and Britannia. Luckily for him, a mysterious girl comes to his rescue and offers him the "Power of Kings". This is when he becomes an overpowered mastermind who starts his own war against Britannia and aims to restore peace in his nation.
5. Maoyuu Maou Yusha (2013)
'Maoyuu Maou Yusha' and 'Log Horizon' have been created by the same author, Mamare Touno. The two are very similar in terms of the basic details of their fantasy worlds. Even the characters share some similarities and the overall premise of both is quite intellectual.
'Maoyuu' is a short 12-episode anime that sets a perfect example for how every historical drama should be. Instead of heavily relying on fanservice or fillers, it brings in a moderately diverse show that has the best narration and involves the perfect blend of historical references with fantasy themes. The personalities of some characters are just stale generic stereotypes, but just like 'Log Horizon', it often surprises you with economic and strategic aspects of a battle. 'Maoyuu' is the kind of anime that has a lot of evident flaws, but it still manages to compensate for all of it by creating a very dynamic universe. A perfect anime for anyone who enjoyed the conceptual values of 'Log Horizon'.
4. No Game No Life (2014)
'No Game No Life', just like 'Log Horizon', has a diverse set of characters, huge fantasy worlds, strategical thinking and most of all, a gaming setup. It centers two main characters, Shiro and Sora, who are both hardcore Otakus. They hate the real world and spend most of their time playing video games. This is when they get magically transported to a gaming world where, in order to save humanity, the siblings must join forces and become the last bit of hope that can rescue this alternate reality.
3. Accel World (2012)
Haruyuki, the main protagonist 'Accel World', hates getting bullied all the time and decides to completely escape into a virtual realm. This when Kuroyukihime, who is also a high scorer in the game, notices Haruyuki's online presence. Being the vice president of the student council, she invites him over one day and asks him if he would be interested in playing an augmented reality game using a headset known as "Brain Burst". Though a little reluctant about it, he agrees as she promises him that he will never be bullied again. The two join forces and make their way to the top in order to unravel the mystery behind the creator of the game.
Just like 'Log Horizon', 'Accel World' also presents a whole gaming world where the protagonists use common strategies to reach their goals. But 'Log Horizon' is more of an Isekai where the new world is enforced upon the characters, whereas in 'Accel World', the characters are free to leave whenever they want and are not physically present in the virtual world.
2. Overlord (2015-)
Momonga, a middle-aged man, decides to play his favorite MMORPG for the last time before it goes offline forever. Disheartened by the fact that none of his guild members showed up, he continues to make the most of his limited time. That's when the clock strikes the game's end time, but to his surprise, he still seems to be a part of the game. Soon he realizes, that all the NPCs of the game have become sentient and are able to talk to him out of their own free will. To get a better hold on his strange situation, he decides to explore the world around him but will he be able to take control of it?
In both, 'Overlord' and 'Log Horizon', the protagonists are stuck in a gaming world where they must learn to adapt and instead of escaping it, they must aim to improve it. Both the anime capture the true essence of real-life gaming by not following the footsteps of other typical survival anime. The only big difference between the two is that unlike 'Overlord', the main protagonist of 'Log Horizon' is not overpowered.
1. Sword Art Online (2012-)
An anime list related "gaming shows" or Isekai is incomplete without 'Sword Art Online'. It tells the story of a young boy named Kirito who, along with a few other "lucky" gamers, gets to experience virtual reality gaming. But after trying out this new technology, he and all the other gamers realize that they're not so lucky after all and they must now learn to survive in this new virtual world. Logging off from this is impossible and anyone who dies in the game will also be dead in the real world. With all the odds against them, Kirito and his friends must find a way to break free.
'Log Horizon' and 'SOA' have a lot in common. But for some reason, 'SOA' has reached the pinnacle of popularity while 'Log Horizon' still remains underrated. So obviously, if you had a good time watching the lesser-known 'Log Horizon', you will surely love 'SOA' since it was the first anime which popularized the whole video game Isekai concept.

Guysss, I'm dying right now. It's my last few hours of freedom, and I long to stay up and be frivolous. But... on the other hand, my responsible side is saying, "Go to bed RIGHT NOW!

2014 has been a mediocre year so far for Las Vegas based casinos, as revenue sank below similar values of 2013. Thousands of miles away, in Macau things are entirely different as casino revenues surged to new highs in the last couple of months. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the first-quarter results to be unveiled and their suspicions proved correct because the numbers were mind blowing.
Land-based casino fans find anything they seek in Macau, a place where highrollers come together to compete on ridiculously high amounts. The reason for why these casinos grew out of proportions so quickly is that a lot of money has been poured into these projects. Many of the operators who have lucrative businesses in the United States have expended to this part of Asia and they now reap the benefits, as these casinos are more profitable than those back home.
In the States, Sheldon Adelson and other casino moguls are trying to stop legislation that is favorable to online gambling, fearing that it would have a detrimental effect on their businesses. They go to great lengths to ensure the fact that legislators refrain from passing those laws that might one day allow Americans to play online without feeling the repercussions.
There are no such worries in Macau where the numbers are so encouraging that casino operators couldn't care less about whether people play online as well, or not. The profits count into billions of dollars and the year is just half way through, so it is only fair to assume that the numbers will improve in the second half. Overall, the industry grew by a double-digit percent and this trend seems to be sustainable and it wouldn't be excessive to project similar figures for 2015.
This is one of the few industries where estimations are proven incorrect simply because reality exceeds expectations and the most optimistic scenarios suggest that this year the revenue will surge above $50 billion. A portion of these profits are generated by the luxury hotels and resorts here, but the vast majority of money is produced by casinos.
In neighboring countries, such as Vietnam, American and European companies are testing the waters and discuss with local governments the possibility of opening similar gambling hubs. The authorities seem to be open to suggestions and in select locations huge casinos are already in the process of being built.

Local seventh-graders got a glimpse Wednesday of what could be their futures in the medical field.
It wasn't your typical classroom day as they descended on The Dignity Health Medical Group Foundation, where more than 50 of them were offered an afternoon of studying the tools of the medical trade — from sonography to X-ray and from blood pressure checks to understanding organ identification.
Dr. Mary Tioleco demonstrates how to wrap a wrist sprain on Dr. Ashton Garbutt as students from Northridge Middle School participate in Mini Medical School April 10, 2019 at Dignity Northridge Hospital. Over 50 seventh grade students visited the hospital and learned hands-on medical skills with nurses, physicians aand physician assistants Wednsday afternoon.(photo by Andy Holzman).

They even got a Certificate of Completion and some gift bags for their learning effort. A precursor to medical school? Maybe. That's the hope among organizers, who hoped the field trip to a "mini med school" would create a "pathway" for their careers.
Opening up that pathway were more than a dozen physicians and several staff volunteers who were on hand to volunteer their talents, with training and exercises on how they do what they do.
The trip was a result of a joint partnership opportunity with Dignity Health Northridge Hospital and the Dignity Health Medical Group/ Family Medicine Residency.


I think I'll try that. I have a lot of leather holsters and slings, and they need constant care.
I have some boots that this would be perfect for!!
I can really see the difference! This looks like an amazing product!
WoW... we just got my Father in Laws older car since they moved into a retirement home. I need to try this on their leather seats.

Q: Possible to make maven build include .class files from dependencies It's become quite a drag to manually drag the contents of each .jar my API depends on into my compiled .jar so it will work properly, and I was wondering if there was any functionality for maven to automatically extract the .class files of the dependencies and add them to the .jar file it compiles, this would make life so much simpler, especially when doing numerous builds for testing. When I have to open my .jar as a .zip, and drop in the sources 5-10 times a minute when trying to fix a bug, it gets really annoying, really quickly.
I've done quite a bit of googling on this, but I've found nothing, just a bunch of links explaining how to add dependencies to maven, but nothing on adding the contents of a dependency to a maven build.

A: Use the maven shade plugin to create an "Uber" Jar that contains the dependencies defined in the pom within your JAR

Getting Ready for Adventures Questions & Answers
December 5, 2022 by WittyChimp Team
Hi Everyone!! This article will share Getting Ready for Adventures Questions & Answers.
In my previous posts, I have shared the questions & answers of Learning to be a Lady, The Milkman of India and The Laburnum so, you can check these posts as well.
Question 1: How did Mr Quixote attain his so-called knighthood? Copy this flowchart in your notebook and fill in the sequence of events in brief.
Don Quixote put on his armour and helmet, saddled his horse and took off on his adventurous journey.
He came across a castle, which was actually an inn, where the innkeeper humoured him and gave him food.
He realized that he was not a knight and requested the innkeeper to bestow him with the honour.
Don Quixote, while guarding his armour at night, got into a fight with one of the guests.
The innkeeper rescued him and knighted him as Don Quixote de la Mancha.
Question 2: Read the line and answer the questions:
1. "Senor Castellano, anything is enough for me. No bed is so sweet to me as the field of battle."
a. Who said these words? Who Senor Castellano?
Answer: Don Quixote said these words to the innkeeper Senor Castellano.
b. The speaker's words were in response to what statement by Senor Castellano?
Answer: It was in response to the innkeeper's offer of any accommodation that Don Quixote might like apart from a bed.
c. Why did the speaker believe that nothing was as sweet as the field of battle?
Answer: The speaker believed that he was a knight who was destined to die fighting in a battle.
2. "Allow me to watch my armour in the chapel of your castle tonight……"
a. What was actually the castle?
Answer: The castle was actually an inn.
b. Where did the speaker eventually watch his armour?
Answer: Don Quixote eventually watched his armour in a horse trough by the well located in the courtyard of an inn.
c. What did he wish to happen the next morning?
Answer: He wished to be bestowed on him, the honour of knighthood, the next morning.
3. Nothing can please me better." answered Don Quixote.
a. Whom did Don Quixote speak to?
Answer: Don Quixote spoke to the innkeeper.
b. What was Don Quixote offered?
Answer: The innkeeper offered Don Quixote the honour of knighthood.
c. Briefly describe what happened after this.
Answer: The innkeeper organized a small ceremony with the inn's guests and servants as witnesses in which he knighted Don Quixote.
Question 3: Describe Mr Quixote.
Answer: Don Quixote was an eccentric gentleman who fancied himself as a knight. He loved reading stories about knights, chivalry, princess, magician enchanted castles etc. He was so impressed by the fantasies that he slowly started to lose touch with reality and began to believe that he was one of these fiction heroes.
Question 4: Why did Mr Quixote ride towards the inn? What did he think it was?
Answer: Mr. Quixote ride towards the inn to have an adventure. He thought that the inn was a great castle with four towers and a deep ditch and a lift bridge.
Question 5: Mr Quixote pulled off his armour but not his helmet. Why?
Answer: The helmet had been tied fast with the green ribbons and it could not be taken off without cutting them. So, he pulled off his armour but not his helmet.
Question 6: What was the final thing that Mr Quixote thought he needed before he could lawfully seek adventures?
Answer: The final thing that Mr. Quixote thought he needed before he could lawfully seek adventure was to be knighted by the ritual touching of the shoulder with a sword.
Question 7: What advice did the innkeeper give Mr Quixote? What does this tell us about the innkeeper?
Answer: The innkeeper advised him that as soon as he had been made a knight, he should ride homewards and provide himself with necessary articles like money and a clean shirt.
This tells us that innkeeper was a generous and kindhearted person who understood the mental state of Don Quixote and helped him to come out of the illusionary perceptions.
Question 8: Describe the ceremony in which Mr Quixote was knighted.
Answer: The innkeeper called the guests present in the inn to see the ceremony. He prevented to read something from the book. Mr. Quixote knelt down in the dust of the barnyard. Innkeeper uttered some words and gave him a blow on the neck with his hand and slapped him on the back with the sword. Then he told Quixote that now he is a true knight and should arose to do brave deeds.
Question 9: What was Mr Quixote's idea of a knight?
Answer: Mr. Quixote thought that the knights are the brave persons always with a noble horse and are very daring. According to him, knights show their courage and daring deeds in battlefields.
Question 10: Why do you think Mr Quixote could no longer differentiate between the real world and the imagined world?
Answer: Mr. Quixote could no longer differentiate between the real world and the imagined world because he started considering himself knight, a real hero of fantasy world. In fact, he was so impressed by the fantasies that he lost his connection with reality.
So, these were Getting Ready for Adventures Questions & Answers.

Atlanta police issue arrest warrant for former APD detective
Mike Morris, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Atlanta police have issued an arrest warrant for a former APD investigator who resigned from the force last month.
Channel 2 Action News reported that Atlanta police obtained a search warrant for Christopher Kitcho's apartment after the former APD detective was arrested in DeKalb County for impersonating a police officer.
Kitcho, 34, resigned from APD on August 19 while under investigation by the department's Office of Professional Standards.
He was arrested Friday for allegedly showing an Atlanta police badge while being questioned by DeKalb officers during an incident at a bar, Channel 2 reported.
When Atlanta officers searched Kitcho's Lindbergh Drive apartment after that arrest for any other department property that had not been returned, officers found cocaine, marijuana, anabolic steroids and a rifle, according to Channel 2.
Kitcho was the second current or recently-resigned Atlanta police officer arrested last week.
On Thursday, police arrested Tahreem Zeus Rana on charges that he killed a woman and set her body on fire in Hapeville. Rana was arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, where police said he was attempting to board a flight to Mexico.

A bird's eye view of SUISA's 2018 General Assembly
On 22 June 2018, 208 voting members streamed into the Bierhübeli in Bern. They were there to participate in shaping the destiny of their cooperative society, and to take advantage of the opportunity to network and exchange information. Members, Board members, Executive Committee members, guests from cultural and political spheres, and SUISA staff – all were attending the SUISA's 2018 Ordinary General Assembly. Text by Dora Zeller

Swiss Ländlermix, an ad hoc group consisting of Bruno Brodt, Jost Ribary, Dani Häusler, René Wicky, Robin Mark, Jacqueline Wachter, Kurt Albert and Stefan Schwarz, opened the General Assembly with a surprise folk-music medley. This cross-section of traditional and contemporary Swiss folk music got the public into the proper mood for the meeting.

Before the statutory business, a short film was presented showing the social media platforms launched at the beginning of the year. Apart from the SUISAblog, there are now SUISA Music Stories on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube.
After the film, the General Assembly approved the annual report, management report, financial statements, cashflows, Notes and auditor's report for the 2017 financial year. The Board and the Auditor were granted discharge for the reporting year, and the auditing mandate was renewed for 2018.
Amendment of the Articles and election of the Complaints Committee
The main business of the Assembly was the amendment of the Articles of Association. Andreas Wegelin explained why the Articles should be aligned with the Liechtenstein Collecting Societies Act and the EU Directive on Collective Rights Management (CRM Directive). He mentioned the main changes, namely: non-discrimination rules, additional powers to the General Assembly, and greater influence for members. After various suggestions, questions and clarifications, the General Assembly approved the proposed amendments with no negative votes.
The General Assembly also approved the list of candidates for election to the new Complaints Committee. Board members Marco Neeser and Christian Fighera, as well as Danièle Wüthrich-Meyer as external representative (Vice President of the Federal Competition Commission), were elected by a large majority. The same applied for substitutes Roman Camenzind and Zeno Gabaglio (both members of SUISA's Board) and for external representatives Daniel Alder and Gregor Wild (both attorneys-at-law and members of the Federal Arbitration Commission). Bernhard Wittweiler, Head of SUISA's Legal Department, was designated Chair of the Complaints Committee. He is a member ex officio of the Complaints Committee and does not have to be elected by the General Assembly.
Publisher Natalie Riede (in the picture), a representative of the Swiss electronic music scene, was elected to the Distribution and Works Committee. (Photo: Manu Leuenberger)
Natalie Riede was elected to the Distribution and Works Committee where she replaces Guido Röösli. Through her publishing house, Black Music Management, Natalie Riede has been member of SUISA since 2014; her main focus is on electronica and she represents the Swiss electronic music scene.
In her presentation as Guest Speaker, Danièle Wüthrich-Meyer, President of Swissperform, outlined the activities of the five collective administration societies from the formal, statutory perspective, from the consensual contract- and Articles-based perspective, and from the factual angle.
SUISA's Executive Committee reported on the 2017 business year. On the podium, from left to right: Irène Philipp Ziebold, Vincent Salvadé, President Xavier Dayer, Vice-President Marco Zanotta and Andreas Wegelin at the lectern. (Photo: Sibylle Roth)
Vincent Salvadé and Irène Philipp then provided information about the current business year. Andreas Wegelin reported on the Mint Digital Services joint venture and explained a number of current political developments which were liable to impact SUISA's business activities. Lastly, Urs Schnell, Director of FONDATION SUISA, reported on the business year of SUISA's foundation for musical promotion.
SUISA's President, Xavier Dayer, closed the General Assembly, which had been as substantial as it was interesting, at about 2 pm. He indicated that the next General Assembly would be held on Friday, 21 June 2019, in Biel.
After the meeting, participants were invited to a buffet lunch in the garden of the Bierhübeli, where they had the opportunity to exchange views and pursue discussions with other participants and with SUISA staff members.
Exploitation rights in the EU and review of SUISA's Articles of Association – Liechtenstein has been – other than Switzerland – a member of the European Economic Area since 1995 and must, as such, accept a major proportion of the European Union legal provisions. What do EU exploitation rights have to do with the revision of the SUISA Articles of Association? Read more
131.4m Swiss Francs for composers, lyricists and publishers – It was with satisfaction that members of the SUISA Board approved the results of the previous year during their meeting at the end of March 2017. The total turnover was 3.2% higher than that of the previous year. An overall amount of CHF 131.4m can be paid out to rights holders. The Board has, in addition, decided that a supplementary distribution of 7% shall be carried out on top of all regular distributions in 2018. Read more

Häusler started playing the clarinet already at an early age and is nowadays active in several formations.

"I composed all of my pieces based on gut instinct"
Martin Nauer is one of the three nominees for the Prix Walo 2018 in the category folk music. The accordion player has been performing for more than four decades with the Ländler ensemble Carlo Brunner. At the 44th Prix Walo, SUISA presents the award in the category folk music and has asked Martin Nauer some questions in writing in the context of his nomination. Text/Interview by Sibylle Roth
Martin Nauer has already learned how to play the accordion at the age of five. (Photo: Monika Nussbaumer)
A young Martin Nauer often rode his small 'hog' (motorbike) to Meierskappel in order to learn new fingering for the accordion from Walter Grob. He listened to his role models as often as possible since he learned all fingering and chords by ear. Together with Carlo Brunner, he founded the Carlo Brunner ensemble and thus created the foundation for his career in 1975. Nauer had a myriad of performances in Switzerland and abroad and contributed to several vinyl and CD recordings.
Martin Nauer, you have written several pieces for the Carlo Brunner ensemble. How exactly did these pieces come about? Were you given any specifications or were you given a free hand for your compositions?
Martin Nauer: In total, I have composed about 50 melodies. They are all registered on one of the many CDs which we produced with the Carlo Brunner ensemble. When it comes to my compositions, I have never received any specifications or tips nor did I have to adhere to any recommendations. I composed all of my pieces based on gut instinct.
You have been a SUISA member since 1976 and many of your compositions have been edited by various publishers. Could you enjoy a financially carefree life based on the royalties that you receive based on your SUISA membership?
SUISA member since 1976? How time flies! No, the royalties that I am due as a composer and that are paid out to me via SUISA do obviously not allow me to live a carefree life. After all, there aren't quite that many compositions of mine and they are not played often enough to provide a lot of money based on the remuneration. The royalties are, however, still a welcome 'top up' with which I can enjoy the odd thing.
You took a step back from the Carlo Brunner ensemble at the end of 2017. Do you have more time now to compose your own pieces?
I do not exclusively use the time I have gained via my withdrawal from the Carlo Brunner ensemble for composing music. Yet, I still have strong ties with folk music and if I come up with a new melody or at least a sequence for a new dance, I'll record the sounds onto a tape recorder with the open expectation that one day something might come of it. Since I cannot write or read music, I need help so that the new melody is then put down on paper.
What does the Prix Walo nomination mean to you?
The Prix Walo nomination is a huge joy for me and, at the same time, a great surprise. As a member in the formation and as partner of Carlo Brunner – for more than 43 years – I had the privilege to participate in Carlo's success whenever he won a Prix Walo. And to this date, that has been the case four times. These awards have always meant a lot in terms of recognition for us ensemble members. The fact that I am personally nominated for the award this time, is really something I didn't expect. As I said, I am very happy and I am proud that I was bestowed with this great honour by the mere nomination.
www.prixwalo.ch, Prix Walo website
The award ceremony of the 44th Prix Walo takes place on 13 May 2018 in the TPC studios in Zurich and will be broadcast live on Star TV from 08.00pm onwards. At the Prix Walo event, Swiss artists from various genres are honoured. It is the aim of the Prix Walo to promote the Swiss show business in general and young talent in the entertainment sector. SUISA sponsors the Prix Walo and awards the prize in the folk music category this year.
"Each of us comes up with a piece of music or a melody once in a while" – One of the three nominees for the Prix Walo 2018 in the folk music category is the formation Ils Fränzlis da Tschlin. With their line-up consisting of Domenic and Curdin Janett and their daughters Anna Staschia, Cristina and Madlaina, they have been making music since 2014, loosely based on the "original Fränzlismusig" of the 19th century. At the 44th Prix Walo, SUISA awards the prize for the folk music genre, and has sent some questions on their music, creating compositions and their nomination in writing to Madlaina Janett, the viola player of the formation.

Marcel Oetiker: "I often get inspired when I am travelling" | plus video – At the Zurich station, Hardbrücke, trains rush past, screech in the bends, and groan when starting up and when braking. But Marcel Oetiker has not chosen this as a meeting point because such sounds inspire some artists to take a creative flight of fancy. Read more

Clarinettist Dani Häusler is one of the youngest recipients of the "Goldener Violinschlüssel" (Golden Violin Clef). (Photo: Pit Bühler)
At the age of 11, Dani Häusler began playing the clarinet and the saxophone, and, shortly after, performed with his first band, the Gupfbuebä. He studied classical music and influenced modern folk music as part of the formations Pareglish and Hujässler. In 1987, Dani Häusler joined SUISA. He teaches the clarinet, is Director of folk music at the SRF (Swiss national broadcaster), lecturer at the University of Lucerne and he is a recipient of the Golden Violin Clef which he was awarded last year.
Dani Häusler, you have studied classical music and also arranged some classical pieces for folk music such as "Ländlerische Tänze" ("Country Dances") by Mozart. How do the two music genres mix?
Dani Häusler: A lot of what we have in our folk music comes from classical music. Mozart dances can be taken over pretty much on a one-to-one basis. The difference does, however, become apparent during the interpretation – classical musicians perform in a rather cultivated manner whereas folk musicians do so more crudely. It's in that difference where I find a great stimulus.
You dedicate yourself to both new and traditional folk music. How do the two styles differ and what do you prefer: To create new compositions or to interpret traditional works?
The "new" folk music is generally more challenging. Much of it is geared towards a concert situation. Traditional folk music rather celebrates cosy gatherings such as going out for dinner, drinks or dancing. You can compose in a traditional or a modern manner – however, the "new stuff" entails a bigger effort. Unfortunately I have not been able to do this due to a lack of time over the last few years.
You are the Director for folk music at the Musikwelle. What is the prognosis for folk music in Switzerland at the moment?
It's good. But it always depends on where you look. The Schwyzerörgeli (Swiss diatonic button accordion) formations are booming like mad, brass bands have decreased massively. In general, it's the audience that is mainly missing. Even though major events are on the rise, it gets increasingly harder to organise folk music evenings in restaurants.

The aims of the syllabus are for pupils:
• to develop religious literacy.
• to acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other principal religions and world views represented in the United Kingdom.
• to develop an understanding of the influence of the beliefs, values and traditions on individuals, communities, societies and cultures.
• to develop attitudes of respect towards other people who hold views and beliefs different from their own.
• to develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious issues, with reference to the principal religions and world views represented locally and in the United Kingdom.
Religions deal with some of the most profound and difficult questions in human life, questions such as:
• What is the purpose of life?
• How should people treat each other?
• How do we explain and cope with death and suffering? Religions approach these issues in complex ways, in ways of life, culture and action, as well as ritual, tradition, story, symbol and belief.
Religious Education must take account of this depth and complexity, helping pupils to an understanding appropriate to their age and aptitude.
At Kingswood Primary Academy, we believe that it is important for all our pupils to learn from and about religion, so that they can understand the world around them. The aim of Religious Education in our school is to help children to acquire and develop knowledge and understanding of Christianity and the other principal religions represented in Great Britain; to appreciate the way that religious beliefs shape life and behaviour, develop the ability to make reasoned and informed judgements about religious and moral issues and enhance their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Religious Education is taught throughout the school in such a way as to reflect the overall aims, values, and philosophy of the school.
We encourage our pupils to ask questions about the world and to reflect on their own beliefs, values and experiences. Our curriculum is designed to encourage creativity, imagination, enquiry, debate, discussion and independence.
We use the Discovery RE scheme as the basis for our Curriculum which follows an inquiry-based approach as well as SMSC developmental opportunities. At Kingswood, the following religions have been selected for study: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism There are no presumptions made as to the religious backgrounds and beliefs and values of the children and the staff. We value the diverse religious background of all members of the school community and hope that this will encourage individuals to share their own experiences with others freely. All religions and their communities are treated with respect and sensitivity and we value the links, which are, and can be made between home, school, and a faith community. We promote teaching in Religious Education that stresses open enquiry and first-hand experiences wherever possible for both staff and children. Children are encouraged to ask questions as part of their learning through the use of learning owls. This gives the teacher a greater insight in to children's thinking as well as providing ongoing assessment opportunities.
We measure the impact of our curriculum through the following methods:
Assessing children's understanding of topic linked vocabulary before and after the unit is taught.
Summative assessment of pupil discussions about their learning.
Images and videos of the children's practical learning.
Interviewing the pupils about their learning (pupil voice).
Moderation staff meetings where pupil's books are scrutinised and there is the opportunity for a dialogue between teachers to understand their class's work.
Annual reporting of standards across the curriculum.
Marking of written work in books.
Through their R.E. learning, the children are able to make links between their own lives and those of others in their community and in the wider world, developing an understanding of other people's cultures and ways of life. As such, R.E. is invaluable in an ever-changing and shrinking world.

Democrats zero in on voters who spurned them
Stung by a slew of late-breaking defeats in recent governors races, Democrats believe they've come up with a new turnout model that will better predict how those contests will break in the final days.
The Democratic Governors Association on Tuesday convened its polling, analytics and media consultants in downtown Washington to unveil a model designed to give the party better intelligence about where, and whom, to target in the closing days of an election. The idea is to bolster campaigns' understanding of undecided voters, but also to identify which voters might switch from one party to the other at the ballot box.
It's the latest step in the party's effort to revamp their polling operations following now-President Donald Trump's upset victory last fall. There's a sense of urgency attached to the project: The 38 governorships up in 2017 and 2018 may represent the party's best shot at returning to power before the 2020 presidential election.
"This kind of redefines, at some level, undecided voters — and the difference between an undecided and a persuadable voter. Just because someone says they're undecided in a poll doesn't mean they're persuadable," said DGA Political Director Corey Platt. "And just because someone says they're with you doesn't mean they're not persuadable. And so this is a better tactical tool to help identify who the people are that we need to persuade at the end."
Republicans now control 33 of the nation's 50 governorships — the most since 1922 — in large part because GOP underdogs eked out victories over the past four cycles against Democratic favorites in a number of states, despite polling that led Democrats to believe they were headed to victory. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Maine Gov. Paul LePage are among those who trailed in many of the polls before the 2014 election, but ultimately prevailed.
The harshest blow came the year after, when most observers expected Democrat Jack Conway to win the off-year race in Kentucky. But Republican Matt Bevin defied the polls and defeated Conway easily.

Last year, Democrats similarly fell short in Indiana and Missouri, even though their pre-election surveys suggested each race was winnable. Similarly, exit poll data indicates late-deciding voters broke sharply for Trump over Hillary Clinton in the three northern states that provided Trump with his Electoral College majority: Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
As part of a pre-planned effort, Democratic pollster Jefrey Pollock, president of Global Strategy Group in New York, led a project to re-contact voters in Indiana and Missouri — along with two states where Democrats won the governor's race, Montana and West Virginia — to figure out what happened at the gubernatorial level in 2016.
The research, shared with POLITICO, suggests that while each state was different, Republicans won undecided voters in Indiana and Missouri by margins that likely proved decisive in those close races.
In Indiana, the research shows, half of voters who said they were undecided before the election said they voted for now-GOP Gov. Eric Holcomb, compared to only 28 percent for Democrat John Gregg. Moreover, 10 percent of voters supporting Gregg before the election said they ended up voting for Holcomb, while only 6 percent of Holcomb voters backed Gregg.
The late break in Missouri was even more stark. Republican Eric Greitens won 55 percent of undecided and third-party voters, according to the analysis, while Democrat Chris Koster won only 21 percent of these voters.
While part of the error was systemic — the polls overestimated Koster's "support across the state, but particularly in places like Springfield," Pollock said — that was dwarfed by the undecided who broke toward Greitens by wide margins.

But Pollock — who said his analysis factored in poll respondents' tendency to overstate their support for the actual winner — also noted that the Democratic candidates in Montana and West Virginia held the line among late-deciding voters.
The model the DGA hopes to implement uses other polling, demographic and commercial data to identify the universe of truly persuadable voters — the specifics of which the DGA and Pollock say are proprietary.
"It's not just the undecideds. It's also that there's a bunch of people who may very well switch," Pollock said. "Seventy or 80 percent of voters aren't switching. But that 20 percent — who are they?"
For now, the DGA is hopeful that party operatives working on gubernatorial races will embrace this new model, though there's no guarantee it will gain widespread acceptance.
"This isn't about the DGA imposing particular standards," said Elisabeth Pearson, the DGA's executive director. "Everybody, especially after 2016, is looking for ways that we can improve some things, change some things. … I think it's going to be great."
While the new approach helps identify persuadable voters, it doesn't in and of itself solve Democrats' most significant problem: From last year's presidential race back to the 2014 midterms, more late-breaking elections broke toward Republicans.
"I think there's no question that there's been a Democratic headwind that we have had to fight against," said Pollock. "That's true on the governors' race level, that's true in Senate races. That's why we are where we are. And that's why national politics do matter."

But, Pollock added, Trump's current unpopularity could flip the script for the party if it holds — and make Democrats the beneficiaries of any late movement.
"What I fear, though … is that we would overlearn that example and go into what looks to be right now a tremendous potential year thanks to Donald Trump and the backlash [against him]," Pollock said. "And, all of a sudden, we would have overlearned all the wrong lessons."
Pollock hopes the new model will help the party solve a problem that has dogged it for the past three year -- one that he knows all too well.
"[Fellow Democratic pollster] Fred Yang and I sat in this room [last year] and told a whole bunch of people, 'That's what happened in 2015 in Jack Conway's race,'" Pollock said Tuesday in an interview at DGA headquarters, citing the late movement toward Republicans in the Kentucky race.
"And it felt like bulls---. Even as I was presenting it: It's like, this all feels like a massive cover-up for the pollsters. To be like, 'No, no, no, no. We swear all these people moved.' And yet, that's actually exactly what happened in these [2016 governors races], and it happens to be what happened in the presidential."

The object of Baccarat is to correctly pick the hand that will finish with a point value closest to 9. In Baccarat, the highest score is 9 and the lowest is 0. In the event of a tie, any wagers placed on the Player or the Banker is returned. If you wager on a tie and the two hands result in a tie, your payoff is 8 to 1.
Place your wager on Player, Banker or Tie. Once this has been completed, click on the DEAL button to start the hand.
Two cards are dealt to both the Player and the Dealer. The suits of the cards have no significance in the game.
Third cards may be dealt (starting with the Player) based on the Table shown in the Third Card Deal section below.
If the cards in either hand have a combined value of ten or more points, you will subtract the ten amount to determine the correct value. The remainder is the baccarat point value of the hand.
For example: 5 + 7 = 12, which counts as a 2 in Baccarat; 7+7+7 = 21, which counts as 1. Face cards and 10's count as 0, so for example 9 + Jack = 9.

Look PRETTY in our Blush Off Shoulder Long Sleeve Top! Such a super cute and comfortable piece. This cute top is simple yet sophisticated and can easily be dressed up for special occasions.
The fold over part keeps rolling up whenever I move my arms away from my sides, so it's not very practical for me, but maybe if I keep playing around with it I'll find a way to make it work. Cute color, and super soft!


Yesterday on Scottish Quest we asked "What was Robert Burn's first song?" And the answer is "Handsome Nell".
'Handsome Nell' was written in 1774 for Helen Blair. Burns later wrote that he 'first committed the sin of rhyme' with this work.
It was the custom to pair young couples to gather the harvest and his partner was 'a bewitching creature…a bonie, sweet sonsie lass'.
Do you have a favourite song from The Bard? Let us know in the comments.

Statement on Standardised Packaging Introduction
The North Antrim MP has dismissed government announcement to introduce plan packaging on cigarettes as "a con on public health."
He said, "This standardised packaging measure has been announced in the guise of being a health measure yet there is not a shred of evidence that a single life will be saved by the measure. This is the UK over-regulating an already heavily regulated industry and makes a mockery of evidence based regulations and taxation policy.
"Furthermore it is a dream come true for the counterfeiters who will now be able to concentrate on making one rip-off package instead of a host of designs that were previously copied.
"I'm all for regulating this industry given the dangers associated with smoking. That is not in question nor is my commitment to public health. But let's not con people into the false belief that this is a health measure when there is no evidence to say that plain packs will save lives, that is just ridiculous. However the government has set its mind to doing this and it is regrettable.
"I have warned the impact these measures will have on the industry and just this week we have seen that over-regulation from Europe and the UK seal the fate of JTI in Ballymena with the loss of 1000 manufacturing jobs, all on the pretence that these regulations will stop people smoking.
"They have certainly stopped British manufacturing jobs but the same products will now be made outside the UK and continue to be sold here. I think most can see through the nonsense of such a policy.
"I fear two further things as a result; that the timeframe to close JTI instead of being stretched to mid 2017 could in fact now contract to 2016 thus creating more pressure on the local economy and secondly that the regulation brigade will now turn their attention to sweets, confectionary, drinks and foods, to try over-regulate and control these products also. "
In Ballymena, Plain Packaging
