[[Categorism]] operate through [[facets of categorism|facets]]. These facets of categorism can operate on different levels. Ranging from personal micro scale to the global macro scales, as well as ranging from being a matter of how people speak about something to being a matter of structural patterns for how people behave. One distinction that can be made is into the following six categories: Individual, group, systemic, structural, discursive and dogmatic. Through the facets, the various [[foci of categorism|foci]] and [[abstractions of categorism|abstractions]] of categorism also operate on these six different levels. However, other levels such as law and international treaties should also be recognized. Failing to distinguish between such different levels, one is likely to proverbially "compare apples and oranges". Thus making it harder to communicate but easier to invisibilize or incomprehensibilize various expressions of categorism. Two persons are unlikely to have a fruitful conversation about [[racism]] or any other [[foci of categorism]] if one of them is talking exclusively about the individual level while the other is talking exclusively about the structural level. Note that the levels are only levels "of categorism" because categorism is the topic being discussed here: The same levels can also be applied to completely different things. ==The six levels in [[the thesis]]== * 1. '''[[Individual level]]''' refers to the internal reality of what happens within a person. And also to how this is expressed by the individual. This level includes categorism against others as well as [[internalized categorism]]. * 2. '''[[Group level]]''' refer to how people interact with each other. Social dynamics on a micro level. Such group-dynamics may for better and worse include building social norms for what views, feelings and acts are socially appropriate, encouraged or even mandatory in the group, and which ones are not. These norms may or may not differ significantly from mainstream society. * 3. '''[[Systemic level]]''' refers to something happening over and over in a pattern that is sufficiently coherent to have effects of its own. Patterns of prejudices, bigotries and discriminatory practices that are common in a culture, subculture or similar. Lots of little things that wouldn't matter if they were isolated incidents but that adds up very quickly. * 4. '''[[Structural level]]''' refers to a facet of categorism being built-in into a social structure of some kind. Discriminatory laws, customs, self-reinforcing social expectations, and so on. * 5. '''[[Discursive level]]''' refers to a facet of categorism having been built into how we talk and think about concepts. How the language turns into [[dichotomism]] that bends our thoughts, feelings and acts in certain directions, limiting our understanding and locking people in linguistic cages. * 6. '''[[Dogmatic level]]''' refers to a facet of categorism that has been systematized in such a way that it has been built into a cateity or great [[narrative]]. Which may be conceptualized as a political ideology, a theological position, a scientific paradigm, or simply "the common sense". [[Narrativization]] can turn into [[narrativism]], and thus narratives can turn into destructive dogmatism that fuels categorism. ==The law level and international treaties levels== * 7. '''[[Law Level]]''' refers to a facet of categorism being included in the law itself. May refer to national laws, as well as the bylaws of a local region within a nation. * 8. '''[[International Treaties Level]]''' refers to a facet of categorism being included in agreements made between nations. ==Intersections== These eight levels are constantly interacting with each other, affecting each other in various ways. For example, a person who holds an certain prejudice or bigotry on an individual level may feel more at home in a social context where this particular categorism is also systemic and structural. He may also feel more at ease with discourses and narratives that reinforces his categorism rather than opposes it. Even when two cases of the same facet of categorism operate at the same level they may still differ greatly in how deeply entrenched they are in the mindset of the person or social conventions of the group. It may also vary with [[power relationships]]: The same categorism may be more damaging when done by the many against the few, or by the powerful against the comparatively powerless. ==Other divisions== As eight levels may be a bit much, here are two alternative divisions. (Note that these ways of categorizingthe levels are thus far unpublished work in progress.) It might be a good idea to group the levels into four categories (which are studied through very different academical disciplines): * A. Individual level. (Psychology, neuro-psychology and social psychology.) * B. Interaction levels. Contains the group level and systemic levels. (Mainly social psychology.) * C. Structural levels. Contains discursive, dogmatic and unspecified-structural levels. Levels such as "normative" could be added to this category. (Mainly sociology.) * D. Legal levels. Contains the law level and the international treaties level. (Mainly law and international relations.) It may also be a good idea to group the levels into two categories, being different kinds of levels: * Interpersonal **	Individual sender (mental reality of person doing categorism) **	Individual target (mental reality of person being subjected to categorism) **	Individual Situation (meeting between sender and target) **	Group **	Systemic * Structural **	Systemic (included in both interpersonal and structural?) **	Discursive **	Dogmatic/Normative (should dogmatic and normative level be separated or co-defined?) **	Law **	International agreement ==Levels versus Category Agency== The different levels of categorism should not be mistaken for categories having agency. In fact, [[Category Agency]] is squarely a matter of prejudice, a misconception about how the world works: It is actually individual human beings who do things, not categories of people. This does not negate the different levels. The group level is individuals doing things together. The systemic level is about many individuals doing things. The structural level is about people being expected to do things, and so on, based on how they are categorized. The discursive level is how we talk and think about people who are categorized in a certain way. The dogmatic level is proclamations of how people who are categorized in a certain way should be or truly are. The law level and international treaties level is about how people categorized in a certain way are treated by local or global legal documents or similar. ==Kyriarchy + misogyny as an example of levels== The intersection between the facet [[kyriarchy]] and the focus [[misogyny]] is sometimes known as "patriarchy", and here called by that name. (Note that while some people instead use the word in different ways, such as being a catch all term for all forms of structural misogyny, the word is here used simply as the intersexction between kyriarchy and misogyny.) * [[Individual level]] and [[group level]]: While patriarchy itself is too abstract for these levels, patriarchal structures, discourses, dogmas and so on can empower facets such as male [[supremacism]] and [[infantilization]] of women at the individual and group levels. Thus being "patriarchal" (inspired by patriarchy) rather than being patriarchy itself. * [[Systemic level]]: In a society where people systematically encounter almost exclusively men in positions of validated/unquestioned authority, their minds are likely to associate maleness with power and femaleness with lack of power. * [[Structural level]]: A society can have many kinds of structures holding women back. Such as social norms that blame women for having children or for not having children, disqualifying them from careers on the basis of having children or for perhaps maybe having children at some point in the future. Or for being "abnormal" by not having children or for not staying home with them. * [[Discursive level]]: Constructing the language so that it constructs women/femininity as being inferior and constructs the same behavior as being cool when a man does it but shameful when a woman does it. For example, constructing the same behavior as a boy being "assertive" and a girl being "bossy". * [[Dogmatic level]]: Religious theology or political ideology positioning women as being inherently inferior and/or inherently assigned to a subordinate position. * [[Law level]]: Most countries used to have laws that enshrined male dominance, such as allowing only men to vote or to run for office. * [[International treaties level]]: If two or more nations have ever entered a treaty where they promised each other to hold women back and help each other to ensure male dominance, [[contribute|please send information about it]]! ==Malpractice + homophobia/paraphobia as an example of levels== Lets say that a guy named Mark visits a therapist namned Carl. Mark's boss is forcing him to work overtime almost every day, and his mother just died. Mark is getting more and more frustrated with his life. However, Mark also happens to be gay. Or a fetishist, in which case this example is about paraphobia rather than homophobia. The therapist takes Mark's money, but refuses to address his actual problems in a serious manner. Instead, Carl keeps droning on about Mark's sexuality. Carl expects Mark (who payed a lot of money to Carl, not the other way around) to spend the therapy time educating Carl about the minority group Mark belongs to. Carl also keeps trying to make a connection between Mark's sexuality and the death of Mark's mother, ignoring Mark's testimony that these events are unrelated. This malpractice works on many levels... * [[Individual Level]]: Carl is prejudiced against the sexual minority Mark belongs to. Maybe he [[Representation Bias|has no positive role models for that group]], getting all his "knowledge" on the subject from bigoted theories. * [[Group Level]]: Carl's co-workers at the clinic are willing to back him up. If Mark complains to them, they will simply tell him that he should accept Carl as the authority and put the blame on himself. * [[Systemic Level]]: Homophobia and paraphobia is so wide-spread that Mark may have a hard time finding a good therapist anywhere. He may give up trying to find one at all. Or simply get a new therapist and try to evade the subject of sexuality. This therapist is very likely to correctly see that Mark is having a problem with sexuality, but far less likely to realize that this is because of how Mark has been mistreated by another therapist in the past. * [[Structural Level]]: Homophobia and paraphobia is deeply entrenched in the mainstream of the culture in which Mark and Carl (as well as other therapists Mark may encounter) lives, thus creating a foundation for the malpractice. * [[Discursive Level]]: Language which belittles homosexuals and other sexual minorities is widespread. Calling them "sick" or "sexual deviance", thus creating a false impression that they are something a therapist should treat. The concept of sexual deviance [[co-definition|doesn't make any distinction between what is done alone or with a consenting adult partner and what is done as sexual abuse against a child]], thus creating a false sense of urgency. * [[Dogmatic Level]]: Outdated scientific hypotheses turned into pseudoscience dogma, there's a lot of psychology literature defining various versions of the alleged "true nature" of sexual minorities. Carl and his colleagues are likely to have read some of this during their education to become therapists. * [[Law Level]]: If this story takes place in Russia 2015 or any similar place & time, Carl may worry that he might be breaking the law against gay propaganda unless he cracks down on Mark. * [[International Treaties Level]]: If Mark is gay and the encounter between Mark and Carl happened in the sixties, then we must realize that Carl's reaction was rooted in the WHO's ICD (World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases), which still included homosexuality at this time. If the encounter takes place in 2015 but Mark is a fetishist, then the same problem is still true. While several countries has removed fetishism from their local ICD lists, the international list from WHO still includes fetishism.

What? – What skills – exactly - are actually needed? Does "experienced in 'x'" cover it?
The common wisdom that 'NZ is great at innovation but does not commercialise well' is heard so often that it is almost a mantra. NZ has some excellent people – both imported and home grown – who make a significant contribution to the bioeconomy by developing and commercialising the initial research, but we need more. Perhaps we also need to better understand what skills best suit a particular company at a particular stage of development.
Guest speaker, Jo Baxter, from Kerridge and Partners , is committed to developing NZ's leadership landscape - particularly in the science and technology sectors. Her background in biochemistry and experience both in NZ and internationally in the bioindustry gives her excellent insight when advising CEOs and boards on executive appointments. Jo has worked with many bioscience companies and organisations. Her recent engagements include sourcing senior management for both NZBIO and the Ministry for Science and Innovation.
Please join us for Jo's challenging presentation on building and retaining the leadership needed to build New Zealand's bioeconomy.

Q: Matriz no Forms Eu estou com dificuldades para criar uma matriz dentro de um JPanel no NetBeans, eu tentei personalizar o código colocando dentro da personalização do NetBeans o código:

           jPanel1.setLayout(new GridLayout(15,15));
           JLabel[][] grid = new JLabel[15][15];
           for(int y=0; y<15; y++){
                   for(int x=0; x<15; x++){
                          grid[x][y]=new JLabel("("+x+","+y+")");
                          jPanel1.add(grid[x][y]);
                   }
           }

Só que não mostra nada, eu queria printar uma matriz na interface pois preciso disso no desenvolvimento de um joguinho.

A: Como você disse que o programa não printa nada acredito que não é um problema com a escolha do Layout Manager, deve estar faltando adicionar o seu JPanel ao seu JFrame, assim:
setContentPane(jPanel1);

Entretanto, fica minha sugestão de sempre que estiver na dúvida de qual LayoutManager utilizar, vá de MigLayout, por ser mais moderno que os demais, mais flexível e que gera menos código, facilitando caso você precise mexer nas linhas de códigos ao invés de apenas arrastar os componentes. Fonte: MigLayout - Java Layout Manager
Usando MigLayout ao invés do GridLayout seu código ficaria assim:
jPanel1 = new JPanel();
jPanel1.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(jPanel1);
jPanel1.setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[][]", "[]"));
JLabel[][] grid = new JLabel[15][15];
for(int y=0; y<15; y++){
    for(int x=0; x<15; x++){
        grid[x][y]=new JLabel("("+x+","+y+")");
        jPanel1.add(grid[x][y], "cell " + x  + " " + y);
    }
}

The JPG format offers considerable image compression with only moderate quality loss.
If you are running your own business, you may have decided to do your own Web design as well. You made this decision to cut costs, meaning that your approach to the project is a budget-conscious one. Luckily, free tools exist to facilitate Web design. The GNU Image Manipulation Program represents a free, Photoshop-like application that you can use to design images for your website. For example, using GIMP you can put together a standard banner-header image, including pictures and text.
Open GIMP, then select "File," then "New." The New Image dialog appears. Select "Web Banner Common 468x60" from the drop-down menu and click "OK."
Insert an image. Click "File," then "Open as Layers." Navigate to the image's location on your hard drive, select it and click "OK." The image will now be visible within the banner size you just defined. Adjust the orientation of the image within the banner frame by clicking and holding at the center of the image and dragging it to its desired location.
Click the Text Tool from the tool palette, and create a text box within the banner by clicking inside the image boundaries, and dragging the text box to the appropriate size. The text-entry box appears above your inserted image. Enter the header text for your header. Adjust text color by clicking on the color palette on the tool window. Make sure that you select a color that contrasts with the background image, so that the text is easily readable by viewers. A heavy font with dark color will work well on lighter background images, while lighter font colors will stand out more on darker backgrounds. Your goal is readable text that does not interfere with the background image.
Save the file in its current, layered format for future editing. Click "File," then "Save As." The Save As dialog appears. Select a location to save the file, and give the file a name. Click the button marked "Select File Type" and choose "XCF." Click "Save."
Save a flattened, browser-compatible version the file for use on your website. Click "File," then "Save As." The Save As dialog appears. Click the button marked "Select File Type" and choose to save as JPEG.
Adjust image quality. If saving a JPEG for Web use, make sure that the image quality is sufficient. When saving as a JPEG, GIMP presents an Image Quality dialog window, which includes a quality slider set at a default of 85 percent. Adjusting the slider increases quality at the expense of compression, and decrease quality to compress the file to a smaller size.
If you're not worried about the file size, you can move the Image Quality slider to 100 percent. Otherwise, you can save a few files with different qualities and inspect them to determine the best compression for your needs.

Why lakes of large extent are called the seas, like the Caspian, the Dead and the Aral seas?
This is because these lakes are so big that it is difficult to distinguish the surrounding landmass which is not clearly visible also. Only the horizon can be seen from a distance. They have larger surface area and most of the water is salty in nature.
The salanity of these lakes are high as compare to another sea like indian ocean and other also these condition are much similer to the condition of a sea.So that inspite of being a lake these lakes called sea.
The Caspian sea ,the dead sea and the Aral sea are presently lakes.Long before these were not landlocked .they were all like the arabian sea .When the landmassses started moving closer to each other these became landlocked lakes. since these lakes still contain salt as before they are called seas.
Because of their high salt content. It has nothing to with the dimension of these water bodies.
Because of distribution of land mass as well as some specific properties of water similar to those found in sea category.

Two months ago, Starkville videographer Ian Reed died in a car accident. As the team aims for a seventh title, it finds inspiration in Reed's memory.
In one of the more crucial moments of Starkville's football season, head coach Chris Jones glanced into the night sky and prayed.
Starkville, once the No. 1 team in the state, clung to a four-point lead late in the fourth quarter last month against Madison Central. Jones paced the sideline as Starkville's second loss in two weeks unfolded before him.
Madison Central had started on its own 2-yard line but had already moved past midfield. The Yellow Jackets reeled as the clock approached zero. Jones' mind drifted away.
A month had passed since Ian Reed, the team's 24-year-old videographer, died in a car accident. Reed's presence increased the energy and positivity inside Starkville's program. He always smiled. He encouraged people to pursue their dreams. His camera made the Yellow Jackets want to jump higher, run faster and lift a little more weight so they could later see themselves in a video. The players considered Reed a brother, adding him to group text messages. They called him Coach. His death left the program in a depressed haze.
Jones looked up and asked for Reed's help, a prayer in a desperate time. Four plays later, as time expired, a potential Madison Central touchdown fell incomplete.
SIX STATE CHAMPIONSHIP trophies crowd a table just inside the main entrance to Starkville's fieldhouse, a constant reminder of the program's standard of excellence.
The Yellow Jackets (ranked No. 5 in the state) start their chase for their seventh title this Friday with a playoff game against South Panola. Reed, who started filming the team in January until his death just hours after a Starkville win, still provides the team inspiration as it aims for playoff redemption.
Starkville lost the state title game last season, and in the weeks that followed Reed sent Jones a message through Twitter. Reed worked for WCBI, a TV station in Columbus, a city no more than a 25-minutes' drive from Starkville. He felt unfulfilled and underutilized in his production job.
Reed, a Gulfport native, had spent the last five years in Starkville while he studied journalism and communications at Mississippi State. He thought working with a program like Starkville provided him a greater chance to gain exposure. He asked Jones if he could document the team.
At the same time, Reed worked the graveyard shift at the TV station, sometimes staying up from 2:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. then driving to Starkville to record the team. He later quit his job and found work at a rental car service to pay the bills so he could spend more time at Starkville.
Some nights, Reed's roommate, Chris Bolton, heard him tapping on the space bar of his laptop, editing videos at 2 a.m.
Ian Reed works in the Mississippi State University Television Center. Reed graduated from Mississippi State in December 2016.
AT THE START of Reed's last day – Aug. 31 – his girlfriend, Taylor Smith, picked him up from his apartment. Reed's tire had blown out the day before, so the couple grabbed breakfast while they waited for Reed's car to be repaired. Reed spent the next few hours creating a pregame playlist for Starkville's rivalry game that night against West Point.
Reed talked trash with an opposing coach during warmups, and when Starkville won, Reed filmed the team as it danced in the locker room. He planned to create a highlight-filled postgame recap to post on social media.
"I got this fire video coming out," Jones remembers Reed telling him.
Jones invited Reed to join the coaching staff while they relaxed at a coach's house after the game. Reed said no. He wanted to eat with Smith and three of their friends — Ebony, Lee and Amber — who had come to the game.
Reed and his friends drove in separate cars down the street to a Buffalo Wild Wings. Reed smiled as they ate. Mississippi State's football stadium loomed in the distance, and he agreed to go to the Bulldogs' game on Saturday. He walked Smith to her car and kissed her goodbye.
Three cars — Ebony in one, Reed in another, Smith and Amber together — pulled onto U.S. Highway 82 around 11 p.m. They spread out as they passed 70 mph speed limit signs. Before the group reached Columbus, Reed accelerated to pass Smith. She watched his taillights disappear in the distance.
She never saw Ebony swerve to avoid a car driving on the wrong side of a divided highway. She didn't watch the car collide with Reed head-on. She only witnessed the aftermath of the accident, a man draping a white sheet over the door of Reed's car. He died at the scene.
After emergency personnel asked Smith to call Reed's parents, she drove with Ebony to his apartment, where Bolton sat on the couch playing NBA 2K.
Bolton, who also worked at WCBI, had shared an apartment in Columbus with Reed for almost a year. Friday nights after work Bolton liked to play video games online with his friends, and around 12:30 a.m., Bolton heard someone pound on the door before a key jostled the lock.
The door swung open. Smith entered, crying, with Ebony by her side.
"What's going on?" Bolton said.
"I need to talk to you real quick," Ebony said.
Bolton placed his controller and his headset on the table in front of him. He never resumed the game.
The Starkville Yellow Jackets wore "Ian Strong" shirts for their warmup honoring Ian Reed, 24, a videographer who documented the school. Reed died in a Labor Day weekend car accident. Starkville played the Clinton Arrows in the final game of the regular season on Friday, November 2, 2018, at Clinton High School in Clinton, Miss.
THE NEWS SPREAD fast through Starkville's team, a slew of texts appearing on their phones as they rubbed the sleep from their eyes. Some people didn't believe the messages. Others needed confirmation from social media. They had just celebrated with Reed after a rivalry win. How could he be gone?
The team convened for the first time two days later, and Jones addressed the one thing on everyone's mind after practice. He brought a pastor to the field to share a Biblical message, then one-by-one, the players stood up and said what Reed meant to them.
Before Starkville played Columbus at the end of the week, Jones ordered "IR" stickers for every helmet and black T-shirts with "Ian Strong" written across the back to wear during pregame warmups. On Friday night, the Yellow Jackets drove down Highway 82 — past the spot where the accident happened — and won 72-6.
About twelve hours later, two buses filled with players in their black jerseys made that same trip, this time for Reed's funeral.
The funeral celebrated Reed's life more than it mourned his death. People packed into Missionary Union Baptist Church — they had to put folding chairs in the aisles — where an open casket held Reed, cleaned up and dressed in a maroon suit. Reed's father called his son his best friend. Speakers recognized Reed for everything he had already accomplished, not for everything he would never do.
When the funeral ended, six players and two coaches carried Reed's casket down the brick steps of the church to the hearse waiting out front. Before they left, every player hugged Reed's mother.
Ian Reed works for ESPNU during a Mississippi State basketball game. Reed graduated from Mississippi State in December 2016.
A HEAVY MIST blanketed Starkville's stadium in late October as the Yellow Jackets prepared for a game against Warren Central. A win clinched a playoff berth, putting Starkville one step closer to the state championship.
Sitting in the locker room before the game, Williams frowned as he removed the visor on his helmet. Williams wore the visor, a gift from Reed, for the first time during the West Point game. He had not removed it since, but the rain forced him to take it off.
Starkville's energy and passion evaporated after Reed's death. The Yellow Jackets won their next two games in blowout fashion, but they stumbled through the motions. They didn't celebrate when they scored. They found little joy in winning.
Still, Starkville retained the top spot in polls, until they lost their first game of the season.
Starkville needed to pull itself out of its grief, so the coaches emphasized energy, trying to recapture the excitement Reed brought to the team. Jones assigned a hype man to wave a towel on the sideline. The win over Madison Central helped. So did time. And when Starkville beat Warren Central, it celebrated after every touchdown.
Starkville head coach Chris Jones watches the Yellow Jackets warm up before taking on the Clinton Arrows on Friday, November 2, 2018, at Clinton High School in Clinton, Miss.
THEY KEEP ANYTHING that reminds them of Reed. The group chats. The videos. The camcorder. The gloves he bought for some of the players. They miss posing for the camera and highlight packages after wins, but more than that, they miss the conversations about life, the LeBron vs. MJ debates.
Jones grapples with guilt, wondering if he could have prevented Reed's death. Sometimes he thinks Reed would still be here had he talked to him for five more minutes or convinced him to play cards.
Then again, what if no one had ever given Reed the opportunity to follow his passion?
Reed's death rocked Starkville, but his memory provides motivation as the Yellow Jackets host a first-round playoff game Friday. Jones thinks his team has the talent and focus to capture the school's next title, but he knows a championship requires luck. Sometimes, a prayer.
It will take three wins to reach the title game. Should Starkville play for a championship, Reed's mother will sit in the stands, wearing the shirt Starkville made in honor of her son, the one it has worn before each of the last nine games. Starkville's season — no matter the outcome — will always be defined by the two words on the back of those shirts: Ian Strong.
Not long after Reed's death, Jones said Starkville's athletic director asked him who should replace Reed as the team's videographer. He asked again a few weeks later.
"We can't find anybody," Jones told him.
Truth is, Jones never tried. Reed is still with them, giving them the encouragement to go on.

7 Best Overlooked Slice of Life Anime | Ones To Watch
Of all the anime out there, it's safe to say
that the slice of life genre is by far my favourite and thankfully there's so much content
to offer that I never need to go hungry. Unfortunately this wealth of content can also be a double-edged
sword, as many shows fail to get the recognition they deserve. As such, this video is not about
recommending the most popular slice of life anime out there but instead about recommending
those that you may have missed. So without further ado, and in no particular order, I
present to you: [wh]y Aren't You Watching? The 7 Best Overlooked Slice of Life Anime. Let's start things off with my first recommendation for Encouragement of Climb which follows a
girl called Aoi who adored mountain climbing as a kid but became fearful of heights after
a playground accident and turned towards indoor activities as a result. That is until she
starts high school and is reunited with her childhood friend Hinata, who she used to climb
mountains with. Unlike Aoi, Hinata is still passionate about mountain climbing and quickly
ropes Aoi back into all sorts of climbing activities. Along the way, they meet several
other girls who are also interested in the outdoors and embark on a series of mountain
climbing expeditions across Japan. For many, the sound of a short three-minute episode
series isn't very appealing but I'd like to stress that this is only true for the first
season. Its second season not only doubles the amount of total episodes but also increases
each episode's length from three minutes to thirteen minutes which gives the anime a lot
more breathing room to develop its characters and story, so it's not surprising that this
is where things really start to pick up. I could go on for another ten minutes explaining
all the merits of this anime but to keep things short I'll just say that if you enjoyed Laid-Back
Camp earlier this year, and are looking for something else to scratch that itch, then
this is the anime you're looking for. My second recommendation is for The Great
Passage which is all about the creation of a dictionary. The story starts with a veteran
editor of the dictionary editorial division at Genbu Publishing, who plans to retire in
order to take care of his sick wife. Before doing that though, he first needs to find
a replacement to help complete his latest project: a new dictionary called "The Great
Passage". Fortunately, working in the company's sales department is a perfect candidate for
the position. What he lacks in social skills, he more than makes up for with his enthusiasm
for words and Mitsuya is soon offered a position to work in the Dictionary Editorial Department.
Working alongside his new co-workers, Mitsuya finds himself questioning his abilities and
is unsure of whether or not he'll fit in. Yet amid the vast sea of words, The Great
Passage will bring them all together. It's not every day you get to see a dictionary
being made, which is one of the reasons why this anime is so appealing. However, for me,
what I found particularly interesting is that this anime spans across thirteen years, which
not only gives you an idea of just how long and difficult writing a dictionary actually
is but also allows us to see how its main cast of characters have changed over the passage
of time. This anime genuinely surprised me as I wasn't expecting something that sounded
so mundane to end up being so impactful. You should definitely check it out if you haven't
done so already! My third recommendation is for Three Leaves,
Three Colours which stars a pampered rich girl called Youko who's thrown into poverty
after her father's company collapses. One day, while eating bread crusts alone during
lunch break; she encounters an energetic girl with an insatiable appetite, called Futaba,
and a calm girl with a direct and often dark personality, called Teru. Despite their wildly
different personalities, all three girls share the kanji for "leaf" in their name and begin
an unlikely friendship, as they try to balance the everyday challenges that high school life
and adolescence have to offer. Following a bunch of cute girls and their wacky high school
hijinks is nothing new or original for the slice of life genre so what does Three Leaves,
Three Colours have going for it aside from the fact that it's one of the least watched
anime on this list? Simply put: the characters, the high production value and the comedy.
Of course great characters are essential for this type of anime to succeed but what surprised
me the most about Three Leaves, Three Colours was the insane amount of fluidity and bounciness
to the animation that really helps to bring these characters to life. The comedy is also
well executed, as the show knows how to take full advantage of its character's differing
personalities in order to create a variety of hilarious moments that help to keep things
from feeling tired or stale. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this anime from beginning
to end and I sincerely wish more people would check it out as it's far better than it initially
sounds. My fourth recommendation is for Shonen Maid
which resolves around a neat-freak elementary school student called Chihiro who, after losing
his mother, is taken in by his wealthy long-lost uncle. Having grown up in a relatively impoverished
environment, this sudden lap of luxury is a little too much to take in at first but
upon learning that his uncle is a complete and utter slob, his instinct to clean kicks
in and the two make an arrangement whereby his accommodation is provided in exchange
for becoming the house maid. Shonen Maid is a simple but heart-warming story about familial
bonds and friendship that's so unbelievably wholesome that it never ceases to put a smile
on my face no matter how bad I'm feeling. To give you an example of what I mean: In
the second episode there's a scene in which Chihiro is concerned about his friends finding
out about his frilly work uniform, in fear that they'll make fun of him and one of his
friends immediately responds by saying that they'd never make fun of him for something
like that and that he should have just been honest with them because they're all friends
and they're there to support him, and it's so precious that my heart can't take it! The
whole anime is like this by the way and it's just so wonderful to watch. It's one of my
favourite feel-good anime and one that definitely deserves more love and attention than it currently
gets. My fifth recommendation is for Konohana Kitan
which follows a cheerful fox girl called Yuzu as she starts her first job as an attendant
at a traditional hot springs inn. Despite having no prior experience working in such
a high-class establishment, the head attendant immediately puts her to work in order to learn
the basics. While Yuzu's eagerness proves to be more of a hindrance in the beginning,
her co-workers, as well as the inn's guests, soon warm up to her playful nature as she
steadily learns the trade of an inn attendant in a bustling village of spirits. If I could
use one word to describe this anime, it'd be pleasant. There's something so soothing
about watching this show and seeing these characters learning to work alongside one
another as they attend to their guests care and wellbeing. The anime also does a good
job of leveraging its traditional Japanese and fantasy setting to tell a variety of unique
and interesting stories pertaining to their guests and the problems they're facing. My
favourite of which is "The Transient Guest". I won't spoil the episode's story by explaining
what it's about but it was this episode in particular that elevated this series a notch
above other similar anime in my eyes. My sixth recommendation is for Poco's Udon
World which stars a 30 year-old web designer called Souta as he returns to his hometown
in order to sort out his family's affairs. As he sets foot inside his recently-deceased
father's udon restaurant, he's reminded of the times his family was still together. While
reminiscing about his childhood, he happens to stumble upon a small boy sleeping in one
of his father's old kitchen pots. To his surprise, this isn't an ordinary child but actually
the rumoured shape shifting tanuki that has inhabited his hometown for many years. Believing
that the boy has been living a lonely life, he decides to take him in and names him Poco.
Through the time they spend together, Souta recalls his own past, the place he left behind
for the city and the relationship he had with his father. This anime is utterly adorable
and each episode will leave you with a warm and cosy feeling as you get to watch the bonds
between these characters grow. In some ways it's very similar to Sweetness and Lightning,
so if you enjoyed that anime then there's a good chance you'll enjoy this one as well,
but I'd argue that Poco's Udon World is the better of the two. In short, Poco's Udon World
is a delightfully charming series, with a cast of likeable characters and a strong message
of familial love. If you haven't done so already, you should do yourself a favour and watch
this anime because it's seriously good! And lastly my seventh and final recommendation
is for School Babysitters which is a hidden gem of the Winter 2018 anime season. The story
follows a teenage boy called Ryuuichi who loses both of his parents in a fatal plane
crash and must adjust to his new life as the guardian of his younger brother, Kotarou.
While attending their parents' funeral, they're approached by a stern chairwoman of an elite
academy who offers to take them in, providing Ryuuichi can fulfil one condition; he must
become the school's babysitter. With the already-established babysitters club being severely understaffed,
Ryuuichi soon finds himself responsible not only for his younger brother but also a handful
of other toddlers with mischievous personalities. At first this anime didn't really grab my
attention. Its visual presentation leaves a lot to be desired and so I initially brushed
it off thinking it wasn't worthwhile. That is until I saw its relatively high user score
and decided to give it a try. The first episode alone was enough to convince me of just how
wrong I was, thanks in part to a particularly emotional scene where Ryuuichi hasn't yet
come to terms with his parents death until Kotarou comes down with a fever and he instinctively
goes to call his parents – only to realise they can't answer and it's then that the reality
of the situation finally hits him and he starts to break down. This scene was really well
done and was something I was not excepting from a show like this. The rest of the anime
is pretty light-hearted with episodes usually revolving around the kids getting into some
kind of mischief and just doing things typical for kids their age. If you overlooked this
anime, like I initially did, then I'm here to tell you to go back and watch it because
it's far better than it looks. And there you have it! Hopefully there's a
least one anime on this list you haven't seen yet and are now interested in checking out! Of course, if you have your own personal recommendations for what you consider to be the best overlooked
slice of life anime then by all means feel free to post them in the comments section

Since the start of the land offensive last Sunday, Egypt has had violent demonstrations. For four straight days students have protested against the war and their country's involvement in the coalition campaign. Egypt has more than 35,000 soldiers in Operation Desert Storm, and Egyptian troops were among the first forces to enter Kuwait City.
On Wednesday, riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets in a bid to break up demonstrations by thousands of students in Cairo.
There were also protests in Amman, where Jordanian Prime Minister Mudar Badran said on Wednesday that Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait was ``not a defeat.'' He said it was part of an Iraqi military plan to defend itself against an invasion by multinational forces.
``Those who go into Iraq will not leave,'' said Mr. Badran. His words, in an address to Parliament, followed an Iraqi military report that coalition forces had landed at an air base near Nasiriyah, about 175 miles south of Baghdad.
A statement by 30 Jordanian deputies later demanded the breaking of diplomatic ties with the United States, Britain, and France.
The Jordanian statement also called on Algeria, Iran, and Libya to end the supply of oil to coalition members.


Infidelity is one of the main factors of relationships ending. Often times a spouse will cheat and that will seal the fate of their relationship. Trust will be lost, arguments will tend to arise much quicker and easier, and many other negative conflicts in the relationship. There are also some positive outcomes that have been proven to make a relationship work after cheating.
There are many reasons why people cheat. Sometimes they feel they aren't being showed enough attention, sometimes they feel lonely, and sometimes they just want to experiment. Other times people are just tired of their current situation and are looking for a way out. There is no better way to tell someone you're done with them than cheating.
People tend to put all cheaters in the same category, however every case is different from the other one. Some relationships have abusers that make the victim feel uncomfortable, and then the victim ends up trying to find love from a different person. Only the people in the relationship know if it is worth saving. No one on the outside will know all the details of another persons relationship.
Telling friends or asking for advice from inexperienced people is definitely not the way to go. Nine times out of ten this helps ruin the relationship. If a single friend hears that the opposite party cheated, they will try to push their views on the victim suggesting that there are too many people in the world to try and make it work. If you want outside help, seek a marriage counselor, not a friend.
The saying "Once a cheater, always a cheater" is in fact very wrong. As stated previously, every situation is different from the next one. No one can predict if infidelity will happen again unless they have solid proof. This all leads back to not listening to other people or people that have dealt with cheating, because their situation was different.
A good way to see if it is worth fighting for is by weighing out the pros of the relationship and the cons. If the pros outweigh the cons, then you have a foundation to work from. Never let anyone, not even family members decide the fate of your relationship. Have authority of your relationship.
After 13 years of being married to her husband, a lady cheated. She was more hurt about it than him. She felt she betrayed her husband beyond forgiveness. The relationship was good, they never argued on a regular basis, and they spent a lot of time together. Of course he was hurt about it, he loved his wife, but he knew that she loved him as well and that the pros outweighed the cons so he decided to forgive her and gave her another chance. This goes to show you that you can't judge a relationship if you're not a part of it.
No matter what, infidelity is looked down upon no matter where in the world you are. You betrayed your trust with another person and you give up your loyalty. However, some people look at it as a blessing, realizing that they need to be there more for their spouse, seeing how much they care for them, being on the verge of losing them. Just don't let anyone control your relationship except for you.
If you are in the situation that an affair has ended your relationship, but you want to learn how to get your ex back, visit GetExBackCenter.com. The site provides information for both, how to get your ex boyfriend back and how to get your ex girlfriend back.

Arabs, Muslims Share Mixed Views of U.S.
(Washington, DC--March 27, 2002) Two television broadcasters, Taghrid Hussein Youssef Mohamed of Nile TV in Egypt and Shaheen Salahuddin of Pakistan's private PTV, told a briefing audience at RFE/RL's Washington office today that Arabs and Pakistanis share a "positive view" of the American way of life and its "defense of democratic values." This positive view is often overlooked, they claimed, in the superficial coverage of the Arab Muslim world provided by most Western news media.
The speakers noted that, in addressing Arabs and Muslims, Americans need to show more sensitivity to the psychology of their intended audience. Ms. Salahuddin pointed to popular anger in her country at the use of such terms as "infinite justice," "axis of evil" and "crusade," saying that they cast a justifiable war against terrorism in unjustifiable terms with religious overtones. The speakers also objected to routine references in the Western media to "Muslim terrorists," saying that terrorists in other parts of the world are not given religious labels.
The speakers asserted that Arabs and Pakistanis are "ready for democracy," but are looking to America for help in convincing the various governments in the region to allow open elections. On Iraq, the speakers pointed to a near-universal "hatred" of Saddam Hussein -- among Arabs as well as Iraqis -- in claiming that most people in the region would support the removal of Hussein as Iraqi leader. Ms. Mohamed stated, however, that Egyptians are opposed to any attempt to overthrow Saddam Hussein which would involve the death of civilians.
They maintained, however, that the American media needs to present a "more balanced view" of "the biggest obstacle to better U.S.-Arab relations," namely the Arab-Israeli conflict. From the Pakistani perspective, Salahuddin said, the sudden withdrawal of the American presence in the region after the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan has cast doubt on America's interest in a long-term commitment to the region.

A Chilean company was acting as distributor for a Danish company. When the Chilean company failed to pay the purchase price for goods that had been delivered, the Danish company terminated the distributorship agreement without notice. The Chilean company brought an action for goodwill compensation and unjustified early termination. The Danish company set off the purchase price for the goods delivered. The distributorship contract was subject to Danish law whereas regarding the sales contract the Vienna Sales Convention (CISG) applied.
A German company had a long-term business relationship with a Chinese company. For years the parties had entered into individual sales transactions whereby solar modules were delivered to be distributed in Europe. However, apart from the individual sales contracts no written distributorship agreement or let alone a framework sales agreement existed. When the German company refused to make payments for goods they had received but considered non-conforming, the Chinese company sued the German company to pay the purchase price and threatened to discontinue further deliveries and to appoint another distributor.
A German company appointed a company from an East European country to distribute their products in Central Europe. According to the contract entered into by the parties, the distributor had to set up a distribution network and purchase certain minimum amounts of products from the German company. After some time, the German company terminated the contract arguing that the distributor had given up any endeavours whatsoever to distribute the products in the market and had not met the minimum purchase figures. Subsequently, the German company sued the distributor to pay damages for not purchasing the minimum figures agreed upon and for losses suffered due to the careless handling of the market.
A company domiciled in the Near East was nominated by a German company as exclusive distributor in certain Asian and African countries. In the course of the fulfilment of the distribution agreement, the distributor argued that he did not receive the necessary support by the principal to enable him to distribute the products and therefore was forced to terminate the distributorship agreement. Thus, the distributor sued the German company for damages resulting from the missing support. The arbitrators had to decide whether the distributor validly had terminated the agreement and thus was entitled to damages.
A German distributor had a long-standing distributorship relationship with a Dutch company. When the distributor failed to pay goods that had been delivered, the Dutch company terminated the distributorship agreement and sued the German company to pay the outstanding purchase prices. The German company filed a counterclaim demanding goodwill compensation arguing that the termination of the distributorship agreement was without merit.

In order to exercise the right of revocation, the purchaser must inform STORZ & BICKEL of its decision to revoke the purchase contract by means of a clear and unambiguous declaration (for example, a letter, fax or email sent through the postal service that is sent in a timely manner and accompanies the return of the goods purchased). The returned goods must be returned unused in the original packaging, along with the accessories and usage instructions. In Germany, the return is at the expense and risk of STORZ & BICKEL. Buyers from all other countries bear the direct costs and the risk of return themselves. The return or the return request must be directed to: STORZ & BICKEL GmbH & Co. KG, In Grubenäcker 5–9, D-78532 Tuttlingen, phone: 0049-(0)7461-969707-0, fax: 0049-(0)7461-969707-7. Consequences of revocation: Upon revocation, the payments received from the purchaser (with the exception of those costs that are incurred from placing the order and did not result from choosing standard delivery) must be returned within 14 days from the day STORZ & BICKEL either receives the goods or obtains proof of their return shipment. Replacement value for the returned goods may be demanded in the event that they arrive damaged when they are returned (e.g. it is easy to see that it/they have already been used).
(1) In the case of a commercial transaction, the transfer of risk shall be effected when the goods are handed over to the freight forwarder. In the case of a consumer goods purchase, the transfer of risk occurs once the purchased goods are handed over to the purchaser. In both cases, the purchaser shall bear the cost of the delivery if it deviates from the provisions stated in § 5 (1), and the delivery takes place next warehouse to the delivery address provided by the purchaser. Delivery periods and deadlines that have not been expressly agreed on in writing as binding represent only non-binding information; the general regulations from § 275 BGB (impossibility and inability) apply.
(2) STORZ & BICKEL is entitled to partial deliveries. Partial deliveries are considered independent deliveries for payment obligations, risk transfer and warranty obligations.
(3) Claims for damages are excluded with restriction according to § 311 German Civil Code.
§ 5 Prices, Delay
(1) If no other written agreement exists, the prices are set according to the currently valid STORZ & BICKEL price list, which is available on the homepage or is made available to traders explicitly upon request. All previous prices lose their validity once a new price list is available.
Unless otherwise stated, the prices include any applicable value-added tax and do not include the shipping costs for standard shipping. From an order value of
•	EUR 20,- for orders from Germany,
•	EUR 30,- for orders from the Benelux countries and the Czech Republic,
•	EUR 40,- for orders from the EEA and Switzerland and
•	EUR 100,- for orders from non-member countries,
standard shipping is free of charge.
In addition to the price for the goods, the following costs are also reported on the invoice for additional services: packaging, shipping, insurance and the VAT valid at the time of the invoice.
(2) STORZ & BICKEL offers various payment options. Depending on the country of origin of the customer and his customer status, the purchase price can be paid by advance payment, cash on delivery, direct debit, credit card or invoice. In the case of payment on account, a payment term of 7 business days after the date of the invoice is deemed to be agreed unless otherwise agreed in writing. If the customer is in default of payment, STORZ & BICKEL is entitled to charge default interest of 5% above the p.a. base rate announced by the European Central Bank. If STORZ & BICKEL is able to prove damage caused by delay, STORZ & BICKEL is entitled to assert them.
§ 6 Compensation, Retention
The purchaser shall not be entitled to rights to compensation unless his counterclaims are legally binding or expressly acknowledged by STORZ & BICKEL. The purchaser is only entitled to exercise a right of retention to the extent that his counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship.
§ 7 Reservation of Ownership
(1) The delivered goods remain the property of STORZ & BICKEL until full settlement of all claims against the purchaser.
(2) The purchaser is entitled to dispose of the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, he assigns all claims against his customers or third parties from these transactions with all subsidiary rights as security for STORZ & BICKEL. STORZ & BICKEL hereby accepts this assignment. In the case of intended processing, connection or mixing, the assignment shall be made in the amount of the invoice value of the goods used. At the request of STORZ & BICKEL, the purchaser shall notify the assignment to his debtor, and STORZ & BICKEL shall provide the necessary information and documents for collecting the claim.
(3) The purchaser shall treat the goods delivered under retention of title carefully and, in the case of his own use, the goods shall be designated as a reservation property of STORZ & BICKEL. He shall immediately notify STORZ & BICKEL in writing in the event of attachment or other interventions by third parties. In all cases, the customer is obliged to notify STORZ & BICKEL immediately thereof in writing and to inform the third party of the reservation of ownership or the assignment.
§ 8 Warranty, Repairs and Liability
(1) Information about the goods does not constitute a guaranteed condition or durability unless the guarantee is expressly and in writing by STORZ & BICKEL.
(2) STORZ & BICKEL partially grants a warranty of 3 years for selected products according to the respective product description, in addition to the statutory requirements of § 438 (1) No. 3 Commercial Civil Code.
(3) Insofar as the purchase is a commercial transaction for the purchaser, he shall examine the goods received for completeness, transport damage, obvious defects, quality and characteristics. Obvious defects are to be reported immediately to STORZ & BICKEL, but at the latest within 7 calendar days after delivery. In case of non-compliance with these notification obligations, the goods are deemed to be approved, with the result that STORZ & BICKEL is not obligated to warranty.
(4) The purchaser shall grant STORZ & BICKEL a reasonable period of at least 14 days for each defect to be rectified. The supplementary performance shall be carried out by STORZ & BICKEL at its own discretion by rectifying defects (rectification) or delivering a defect-free replacement (subsequent delivery).
(5) The warranty rights shall only be granted if the goods are shipped undistributed and sent to STORZ & BICKEL within the said warranty obligation, complete with invoice and in an outer packaging, which excludes damage during transport.
(6) There is no warranty for defects and damages resulting from unsuitable or improper use, neglecting the instructions for use and use or faulty or negligent handling and maintenance. In addition, warranty rights are excluded in the case of interference with the goods by unauthorized bodies or persons. In addition, wearing parts are excluded from the warranty since there is no defect in the sense of the warranty under § 434 German Civil Code.
(7) Any further liability (the Product Liability Act remains hereby unaffected) and is excluded without regard for the legal nature of the asserted claim. The extent that the liability of STORZ & BICKEL is excluded or restricted also applies to the personal liability of its employees, representatives and vicarious agents.
(8) In addition to the warranty, the purchaser has the option of sending selected goods to STORZ & BICKEL at his own expense for repair as per the cost estimate. Returns and repair requests can be made via the "Support" tab under the keyword "RMA" on www.storz-bickel.com.
(9) Goods that are sent to STORZ & BICKEL for a cost estimate or repair must be collected at STORZ & BICKEL by the customer at the latest 3 months after receiving a pick-up request. Otherwise, STORZ & BICKEL will no longer be liable for negligent damage or destruction of the repair item. A notification of disposal must be sent to the customer one month before expiration of this period. The seller is entitled to dispose of the repair item after this period expires.
§ 9 Data Security
STORZ & BICKEL warrants that the personal data submitted by the purchaser during the course of the order is only processed, stored and used for internal market research and marketing purposes in connection with processing the order. STORZ & BICKEL will only pass on personal data to other companies (for example, parcel services) to the extent that it is necessary for order processing. If the purchaser does not wish STORZ & BICKEL to use this data for internal purposes, the purchaser is entitled to revoke this use at any time by sending a corresponding informal message to STORZ & BICKEL.
§ 10 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
(1) The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply to contracts subject to these general terms and conditions as well as to other legal relations with reference to these general terms and conditions between STORZ & BICKEL and the purchaser, with the exclusion of national collision norms.
(2) The STORZ & BICKEL headquarters in Tuttlingen is agreed on as an exclusive court of jurisdiction for all disputes arising directly from the business relationship to the extent the purchaser is a merchant in the sense of the German Commercial Code, a legal person of the public or private law or public special fund.
