Ubisoft has announced that Starlink: Battle for Atlas will receive a significant content update centered on the mysterious appearance of the Crimson Moon in the Atlas star system. It will launch on April 30. New Switch-exclusive Star Fox DLC will arrive on the same day.
Ubisoft has issued a new update for Trials Rising on Switch. With version 1.0.3, the game has implemented a number of improvements and fixes.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot recently stopped by the IGN Unfiltered podcast to talk about his career, the company and its various games, and more. For a few minutes, the crossover Switch game Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was discussed.
In March, it was announced that Ubisoft and Blue Mammoth's Switch game Brawlhalla would be getting a Hellboy collaboration sometime this month. We now know that the event will be held starting April 10.
Skins for Hellboy, Nimue, Gruagach, and Ben Daimio are all planned. A new game mode named Horde, a Hellboy-themed map, UI takeover, and more are on the way as well.
The Starlink: Battle for Atlas development team posted an update on future plans for the game today. Depending on how you look at the situation, the latest news is either a good thing or a bad thing.
According to Ubisoft, Starlink's sales "fell below expectations." That has resulted in the end of physical toys. Fortunately, the team is "hard at work on our biggest update to the game so far and are pleased to tell all of you that there will be new digital ships, pilots and weapons to collect." That's on top of free missions, challenges, and new activities.
Ubisoft has discounted Trials Rising on the Switch eShop. The standard release is 20% off while the Gold Edition is available for 25% off.
Ubisoft has published the latest video for Assassin's Creed III Remastered. Check out the "Revisiting a Revolution for the Series" trailer below.
GameXplain has uploaded a recording of some footage captured from Assassin's Creed III Remastered running on Switch in handheld mode at PAX East. Check it out below.
Last month, a listing for a Switch version of Growtopia was spotted in Taiwan. It's now been officially confirmed that Ubisoft is bringing the free-to-play sandbox MMO to the eShop.


Voto Latino, a non-profit organization targeted to empower Latino millennials, asked me to create their 2015 holiday card for print. The intent with this card was to create a "papel picado" inspired ornament that also pushed the brand's colors and logo. Additionally, I chose to generate an animated gif from the commissioned print graphics, to showcase in this portfolio.

Minister of State for Education Muhammad Baligh ur Rehman chaired the advisory committee meeting here on Thursday to review the process of integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning processes in schools, reviving Education Management Information System for a proactive role in policy, research, planning and management and outline of sustainable development goals plan.
Preparing children for the digital world, integrating ICT in teacher learning programme through MS technologies, equiping children with employable IT skills, setting up a chain of PC laboratories in schools and teacher training institutes, providing access to ICT in schools, using ICT to strengthen teaching quality, using ICT to enhance student learning, developing complementary approaches to ICT in education, development of capacity at the Federal Education Ministry & Provincial Education Departments were discussed in the meeting.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister said that the present education system in Pakistan offers only minimal curricular resources for students. "In primary schools, computer studies is in textbooks only without any practical application.


The Brazilian analysts Safras & Mercado who had estimated the just completed new Brazil coffee crop at 54.9 million bags, have estimated that by Tuesday this week, that farmers had sold 56% of their new crop coffees, as against a 53% factor at the same time last year and an average of over 50% in the previous years. This is not unexpected as with the new crop and following a dismal new conilon robusta coffee crop and supply dominated by arabica coffees while the reference prices of the New York market have been kind of late for the coffee farmers, one would have expected some more active selling activity.
Added to this was the report from Brazil's largest coffee cooperative Cooxupe, who have reported that they by Tuesday this week, their warehouses had received a record 6 million bags of new crop coffees. These coffees coming from arabica coffee farmers from the South Minas, Triangulo Mineiro, Mogiana, Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo growing districts. This report underpinning the view that Brazil has indeed, had a bumper arabica coffee crop this year.
The more southern coffee districts of Brazil in terms of Parana, Sao Paulo and South Minas have reported reasonable rains this week, with forecasts for good rains to come to all of the main South Eastern Brazil coffee districts in the coming week. This to include the long suffering conilon robusta coffee districts within the northern districts of the state of Espirito Santo, which shall hopefully so long as Brazil does indeed have a normal rain season this summer, trigger the start of some degree of recovery for the countries conilon coffee farmers.
Meanwhile the Brazil government auctions of their aged arabica coffee retention stocks continue, with this week's auction selling approximately 80,000 bags. These relatively inexpensive coffees being destined for the price competitive domestic market blends.
The International Coffee Organisation have come to the fore with a report that indicates concerns over longer term global coffee supply, due to declining profits being experienced by coffee farmers within many of the traditional coffee growing countries. The report which is related to research in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and El Salvador makes note that coffee prices have on average remained within a steady trading range over the past decade, whereas there has been steady production cost inflation that is negating the profitability of coffee farming.
This scenario would suggest that it is threatening to inspire farmers to look too other more stable and profitable crop options, but one might suggest that tightening supply shall prove to be a profitable factor for the coffee farmers who stand firm and remain within the industry. Thus one might think that while many coffee farmers have indeed been struggling over the past couple of years, that the majority might remain committed and look towards improved farm husbandry and improved yields, so as to profit from their coffee production.
The March to March contracts arbitrage between the London and New York markets narrowed yesterday, to register this at 63.15 usc/Lb., while this equates to a 39.62% price discount for the London robusta coffee market. This arbitrage is perhaps becoming a less attractive factor for the roasters who have considered robusta coffees to be an opportunist discount component, within their mostly arabica coffee blends.
The Certified washed Arabica coffee stocks held against the New York exchange were seen to increase by 146 bags yesterday; to register these stocks at 1,275,197 bags. There were meanwhile a smaller in number 2 bags increase to the number of bags pending grading for this exchange; to register these pending grading stocks at 31,548 bags.
The commodity markets continue to encounter the negative influence of the renewed muscle of the U.S. dollar yesterday, to see the overall macro commodity index take a softer track for the day. The Oil, Sugar, New York arabica Coffee, Cotton and Corn markets registered a significant dip in value for the day, while the Natural Gas, Cocoa, London robusta Coffee, Copper, Orange Juice, Wheat, Soybean, Gold and Silver markets had a softer day's trade. The Reuters Equal Weight Continuous Commodity Index that is made up from 17 markets is 0.71% lower; to see this Index registered at 417.54. The day starts with the U.S. dollar showing a degree of buoyancy and trading at 1.224 to Sterling and 1.091 to the Euro, while North Sea Oil is near to steady and trading at 50.15 per barrel.

Doug Mann: Response to Achievement Gap questions
By Bob Keller | May 17, 2010
1.The Minneapolis Public Schools have struggled for some time to raise the achievement of low-income students and students of color.
a. What in your opinion are the most important factors in raising student achievement?
Accountability, best practices, curriculum, and stability of the teaching staff.
b. What measures should the school board take to improve student outcomes?
I call for an end to ability-grouping practices that result in watered-down curriculum tracks. The district should provide effective reading instruction to all students, beginning in early elementary grades, not just for those identified as being academically gifted in Kindergarten. To eliminate watered-down curriculum tracks, the district can utilize a program sponsored by the Education Trust, Arts for Academic Achievement, which is proven to boost test scores in Minneapolis Public Schools, but is not used to its full potential as a means to eliminate watered-down curriculum, the purpose for which it was designed.
To bring stability to the teaching staff in all schools, I propose ending the practice of firing and replacing most teachers before they complete their 3 year, post-hire probationary period. I also advocate repeal of a Jim Crow era teacher tenure act for cities of the first class (Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth) that allows the Minneapolis School District to arbitrarily fire probationary teachers every spring on the pretext of financial uncertainties, and then to replace many of them. These teachers must reapply for their jobs and may be replaced by the district in any event. The teacher tenure act for the rest of the state allows a district to fire and replace teachers, including those on probation, only for misconduct or poor performance.
c. If the school board follows your suggestions, how soon would you expect to see significant results?
Based on the district's experience of stabilizing the teaching staff at North Star and Hall elementary schools in the 1990s, and the reported benefits of utilizing the Art for Academic Achievement program in Minneapolis Public Schools, I would expect significant improvement in test scores, student behavior, and parental involvement the first year that the above suggestions are implemented, especially in schools that have been plagued by high teacher turnover rates and are filled with students of color.
2. Some people are concerned that focusing on academic achievement for low-income students may lead to insufficient attention being paid to the needs of average and higher performing students. How do you respond to that concern?
The achievement gap was being closed in the 1970s to late 1980s. According to the report of a panel of K-12 education experts selected by the Reagan-Bush administration, A Nation at Risk (released in April 1983), the gap was being closed at the expense of high achievers. But an analysis of data done by the Sandia National Laboratories, commissioned by GHW Bush and released during the Clinton administration, showed modest improvement in standardized test scores for high achieving students while the gap was being closed. Since the late 1980s we have seen a widening achievement gap accompanied by increased racial segregation, greater exposure of students of color to new teachers and rapid teaching staff turnover, and the promotion of ability-grouping practices that result in watered-down curriculum tracks that have a disparately negative effect on students of color.
3. It has been suggested that certain provisions of the teachers' contract make more difficult the staffing of schools adequate to meet the needs of all students. What is your view?
I don't agree that certain provisions of the teacher contract and teacher tenure law are to blame for the lack of stability in teacher staffing in many of the district's schools, especially those that few white students attend. High teacher turnover rates are primarily an affect of arbitrarily firing and replacing most new teachers before they complete their probationary period. Eliminating provisions of tenure laws and teacher contract provisions that restrict the district's ability to involuntarily reassign teachers while ignoring the underlying cause of the high turnover is only going to make a bad situation worse.
4. One idea to improve student outcomes is to have a longer school day or a longer school year. Do you favor increasing learning time for students, and if so, how would you like to see that happen?
I do not favor a longer school day. This will tend to drive more students out of the district's schools. It would require increasing the workday for full-time teachers, presumably without increased compensation. And it is unlikely that the positive effect of a longer school day would be very great, other things being equal. The achievement gap is mainly a reflection of the quality of instruction received by students, and it seems to me that the most effective and efficient way to boost achievement is to stabilize the teaching staff and eliminate watered-down curriculum.
5. Early childhood education is often offered as an important strategy for addressing the achievement gap.
a. What are your views on investing in early childhood education?
I think that making quality, early childhood education accessible to all is a wonderful idea. My concerns about promoting early childhood education as the solution to the achievement gap are that the district must rely on the state legislature to make this happen, it takes the focus away from fixing the schools, and it is connected to the idea that an early education achievement gap reflects differences in innate abilities between racial and income groups, which I believe to be false and racist.
b. How can there be better alignment between pre-k programs and the K-12 system?
I am not familiar with how pre-K and K-12 programs are currently aligned.
6. Some people suggest we need more flexible or innovative models of delivering education.
a. Do you favor or oppose charter schools?
I oppose the replacement of public schools with charter schools. The failure to take effective action to fix the schools, and the perpetuation of practices that are setting up many public school students and teachers for failure, will lead to the establishment of a charterized system, a fully privatized public school system. However, I see the problem of unequal access to quality school programs by race and poverty persisting and continuing to get worse if the district continues down the path of school reform it is following.
b. What should the relationship be between the charter schools and MPS?
Charter schools operate independently of the Minneapolis Public Schools. They wouldn't be charters if effectively controlled by the Minneapolis School District.
c. Do you favor or oppose self-governed (teacher-led) schools?
I am opposed to moving toward a self-governed school model for governance of the Minneapolis School District. This takes the idea of site-based management a step further, and reduces the role and responsibility of the MPS leadership for operating the district's schools. Moving to this model of governance will create new obstacles to solving problems embedded in the public school system.
7. A group of Northside residents have formed a Northside Achievement Zone, aiming to replicate some of the outcomes experienced by the Harlem Children's Zone in New York.
a. How should the School Board respond?
I think the board should willing to work with the Northside residents who set up the Northside Achievement Zone. And in connection with that, there should be a public discussion about the Harlem Children's Zone experience: What conclusions should be drawn?
b. Is it appropriate for the School Board to make special efforts or investments in a particular portion of the city?
Currently, in the fund for regular education teacher payroll costs, accounting gimmicks conceal a disproportionate payout to teachers in the SW quadrant of the district, where the mean average pay reflects a high concentration of the districts best paid teachers there. On the other hand, the district saves enormous amounts of money by preventing a large proportion of the teaching staff from becoming permanent, or 'tenured' employees. And it happens that the lowest paid teachers are concentrated in schools that few white students attend on the Near North Side. It has been said that teacher salaries only account for 35.9 per cent of the district's income, but teachers salaries make up a much larger part of the district's operating fund, and closer to 80% of the payroll costs that come out of the operating budget.
8. With 65% students of color, the Minneapolis Public Schools face significant challenges with regard to integration. Some people prioritize integration efforts, while others argue that that it is more important to improve the quality of schools in low income neighborhoods. What is your opinion on this? Do you favor efforts to increase integration in the city schools? If yes, what steps would you take to make that happen?
I think we could do a much better job of racially integrating the schools and improving the quality of schools in low income neighborhood. It is not a matter of choosing integration versus improving the quality of education. We can do both. I do not favor a return to the controlled choice desegregation plan that was in place in the 1980s and early 1990s. However, much can be done to better integrate the student population by the way school attendance boundaries are drawn, new school sites selected, etc. Since implementation of the community school plan in 1996, the district has gone out of its way to make the schools less racially integrated and less equal in quality. Also, the city government promised to take steps to better integrate the city's neighborhoods, but effective action was never taken. The best, most effective way to racially integrate the city's neighborhoods is to aggressively enforce fair housing and employment laws, utilizing survey teams to gather evidence of unlawful discrimination. The credible threat of action to enforce the law will produce changes in the behavior of discriminators.
9. Improving governance of our public schools is a big topic of discussion.
a. What in your opinion are the main governance challenges for public education?
In my opinion, changes in school governance promoted by the No Child Left Behind agenda in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act since 2001, and through the Obama administration's Race To The Top grants are a disaster for the public school system. It is bad public policy, at least from the point of view of the poorer 80% to 90% of the population who cannot easily afford to put their children in good private schools.
b. Are there different governance models that you believe are worth exploring?
I think the best governance model is the public school model that immediately predates No Child Left Behind. The school system is failing to provide a quality education to all on an equal basis, not because of a more-or-less traditional public school governance model, but because of specific policies that I have already addressed, as well as diminishing levels of funding for the public school system.
c. The Governor has recommended that the Minneapolis and St. Paul school districts be managed by the cities' mayors. What is your opinion of this recommendation?
I am opposed to this idea. Where this idea has been implemented, e.g., Chicago and New York, it has been easier for the school district administration to do corporate-style reforms and privatize the public school system. I think it is better for the voters to directly elect the school board.
10. Your role in the school board
a. How do you define the role of a school board member?
The school board members are responsible for setting policy, and are directly involved in developing budgets and overseeing the school district operations with assistance from administrative staff.
b. How much time each week do you expect to spend on school related matters?
I expect to spend about 10 to 20 hours per week. However, this would involve going above and beyond the call of duty, and is more than one can expect of board members who are employed elsewhere on a full time basis. I am currently working on-call as an Educational Associate / Instructional Assistant for the Edina Public Schools and working as a volunteer ESL tutor and classroom assistant for the Adult Basic education program, Minneapolis Public Schools. In 2008, board members reported that they typically spent 10 to 20 hours per month fulfilling their duties, and sometimes as many as 40 hours per month in exceptional circumstances.
11. Finally, what does success in the Minneapolis Public Schools look like to you.
My goal, which happens to be the strategic goal of the district, at least on paper, is to make a quality public education accessible to all on an equal basis. To the extent we are successful in achieving that goal, we should see a diminishing racial test score gap, and reduced disparities in other outcomes, including rates of placement of students in special Ed programs for emotional-behavioral disorders, fewer students forced to take psychotropic drugs to control their behavior, less need to resort to disciplinary action for student behavior, and increased enrollment of K-12 students in the Minneapolis Public Schools. One measure of the district's failure in this regard over the past dozen years is enrollment of students on the Near North Side in regular district-run schools falling to about 25% of all K-12 students residing there.

BO KROENKE DRIVES around two of Smithton's defenders in Lincoln's first round win in the Kaysinger tournament on Saturday afternoon.
The fourth seeded Lincoln Cardinals held on Saturday afternoon to defeat fifth seeded Smithton 50-43 in the Kaysinger tournament in Sedalia.
In a sluggish game early, the Cardinals led 7-6 after one. With the score 11-8, the Smithton coach received a warning from a referee for being too vocal about the calls against his team.
Both teams struggled shooting the ball as Lincoln led 19-13 at halftime.
Jackson Beaman limped to the locker room with an apparent sprained ankle at the 5:28 mark in the third.
Bo Kroenke would respond with Lincoln's top gun out and carry the Cardinals to a 33-30 lead after three after leading 31-21.
Beaman would make a brief appearance in the fourth and make some nice passes and then sat down for the night. He ended with three points.
Freshman Caden Smallwood started and made the first bucket of the game. He had a huge tip -in late and a free throw. He ended with 13 points.
Free throw shooting saved Lincoln at the end with Nathan Jobe going 3-4 and Kroenke 3-3. Jobe had seven much needed points as Kroenke led with a gut- check 18.
Lincoln now 10-6 plays #1 Sacred Heart on Thursday.

The Gibraltar Evacuees
by Joe Gingell
When the war broke out in September 1939, it was thought by military experts and politicians that Gibraltar, as during the First World War, was not going to be in the front line of hostilities. However when the Low Countries were overrun in May 1940 and Italy entered the war on the German side in June 1940, it became clear that the war scenario in Gibraltar was going to be very different to that of the First World War.
Given this, the British Government ordered the evacuation of women, children, the elderly and infirm to French Morocco, which was at that time the nearest Allied country. The main reason for this was that Gibraltar had to be converted into a fully-fledged fortress. Hitler was planning to capture Gibraltar with Spain's assistance and if successful, it would have completely changed the outcome of the Second World War.
Soon after the arrival of the evacuees in French Morocco, France capitulated. The evacuation of Gibraltarian evacuees to French Morocco was discontinued and those who were already in French Morocco were de facto living in enemy territory. After the destruction of the French Fleet at Oran by the Royal Navy, the Gibraltarian evacuees were ordered to leave French Morocco within 24 hours.
Coinciding with the expulsion of the Gibraltar evacuees, 15,000 French troops arrived at Casablanca on British cargo ships from the UK. The French authorities in Casablanca threatened to impound these ships unless they left immediately with the Gibraltarian evacuees. The officer in charge of these ships, Commodore Creighton, pleaded with the French authorities for time to clean and replenish the ships with food and water. The request was flatly refused and the evacuees, mainly women, children, the elderly and infirm, were forced on board with rifle butts by French troops standing on the quayside There were many dramatic scenes with reports of women fainting in the heat of the sun.
The British Government who had ordered the evacuation did not want the evacuees to return to Gibraltar. However, Commodore Creighton ignored the instructions from the Admiralty and sailed to Gibraltar with all the evacuees. On arrival at Gibraltar the evacuees were not allowed to disembark. Again Commodore Creighton insisted that the ships had to be cleaned and replenished with food and water for what was going to be a very long journey across the Atlantic. By then both the Italian and Vichy French air forces were bombing Gibraltar, with many civilian and military casualties. Eventually attempts were made to make the ships holds habitable, but the facilities provided were extremely rudimentary with no medical facilities at all and with hardly any life saving equipment. They sailed out into the Atlantic, trying to avoid the U-boats, with just one escort ship.
The main problem for those on board the ships was hygiene. Many were seasick and water was strictly rationed. After six days it was discovered that due to poor storage conditions, all the provisions had become inedible. Babies born during the voyage were delivered by the evacuees themselves and some of the elderly passengers died, to be buried at sea. To avoid the menace of the German U-boats, the ships had to circumnavigate across the Atlantic taking 16 days to reach the ports of Liverpool, Swansea, Cardiff and Bristol which were also being bombed by the Germans. The entrances to these ports were mined and the ships carrying the evacuees had to navigate with great care in order to disembark safely. Commodore Creighton stated in his book 'Convoy Commodore' that if the convoy of ships carrying the Gibraltarian evacuees had have been attacked, it could have resulted in one of the worst disasters in British maritime history.
The ultimate destination of the Gibraltarian evacuees was London. The evacuees arrived in London at the time of the Blitz and when the Battle of Britain was in full swing. About 13,000 Gibraltar evacuees lived in London during the war, experiencing years of bombing as well as V1 attacks. Not all spent the war years in London: around 1,500 Gibraltarian evacuees were taken to Jamaica and a further 2,000 were sent to Madeira.
I was one of the thousands of children evacuated to London and I still have vivid memories of those terrible years in London. Because of the bombing, my family had to be moved about six times during our four years in London. Whilst we were living in central London, there were some casualties from the flying bombs among the Gibraltar evacuees. One of the first flying bombs to hit London fell close to the York Hotel by Oxford Street where my family was accommodated. I still remember the explosion and my mother, my two brothers and l lying on the floor of the hotel room as a result of the bang.
At the end of the war, half the evacuees returned to Gibraltar to join their families. The remaining half went to live for four years in camps in Northern Ireland to await their gradual repatriation. Although the camps were safer and quieter than London, the living conditions in the Nissen huts left a lot to be desired. The evacuees, while appreciative of the hospitality extended to them by the people of Northern Ireland, did not fancy the thought of spending many winters there with no prospect of finding work. Due to the prolonged waiting period, around 2,000 of the 7,000 evacuees sent to Northern Ireland left the camps of their own accord, desperate to find work in London where they eventually settled.
After the war there was an acute shortage of accommodation in Gibraltar with poor medical and educational facilities. Because of this, for many evacuees it was ten years after the evacuation before they could rejoin their families in Gibraltar.
During the war, Gibraltar was vital for the Allied forces, particularly during Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa by Allied forces. When General Eisenhower was placed in command of Operation Torch from his underground office in Gibraltar, he told General George Marshall that without Gibraltar, Operation Torch would not have been possible. Some historians have qualified Gibraltar's importance to the extent that without Gibraltar, Britain would have lost the war. In a strictly fortress scenario, there was no place for non-combatant civilians: they co-operated fully with a forced evacuation in order to allow Gibraltar be occupied by Allied troops.
By Joe Gingell. Very little seems to be known about the story of the Gibraltar evacuees. I have carried out a profound research about the Gibraltar evacuees and published a book in aid of cancer charities.

The rocks poking out of the trees above the lake, opposite the campground. From the campsite, follow the signposted track for Chalwell Galleries to the end of the grassy plain, then plunge right up into the trees and follow the fairly well established track up to the nice low angled slab with two obvious thin flake lines.
Not given a star by the guide, but is easily worth it. The L flake line. The flake is trickier and more sustained than its low angle would infer! Some good small wires provide good pro, then easy slab to ledge. Step up to the bush, and the lovely line through the headwall. Good cams protect the lovely crack, which becomes increasingly wide and increasingly flaring, but is great fun! Trusting your footjams avoids any yucky offwidth stuff, then belay off tree. A very enjoyable route.
Above Right: Nice view eh? The beautiful Lake Catani as seen from the Monolith, with the campground under the trees at the left end of the lake, Catani Crag poking out from the trees (above the left end of the lake), and Chalwell Galleries on the skyline further left.
This is the "star attraction" of Catani Crag - but it's not 20m and not a one star route! Hard to find from the guide too. Sramble up R from KYN until almost at the end of the crag (about 50-60m), then scramble back up L onto the boulders, and over to the slab. A tricky step off the block onto the slab (BB), then nice enough to step L to 2nd BB. Undercling around nose then up creaky flakes. Back 10m to tree belay.
Follow the signposted track from the campsite for a good 10 minutes and you can't miss it. The guide is particularly deficient in not mentioning the dangerous downclimb off the top of the tor - keep your second on belay to inspect the correct way down as there is deathfall potential if you get it wrong. Luckily its easy boulder hopping mostly, the only hard bit of downclimbing is the last 6m. Its a great looking crag though, especially the Epic wall!
A really great route up your classic granite rounded slabby arete. The unprotected start is a touch worrying, and you'd reckon with the bolts up higher being only 2m apart another one down the bottom wouldn't have gone astray!! Anyway, the unprotected 10m start (about grade 14) leads to rest at break. 3 carrots and great smearing moves lead up the arete just as the amazing view heaves into sight - off the top of the Buffalo plateau practically all the way to Melbourne over the top of the southern Victorian Alps.

Ida Mae Brandon Gladney, a sharecropper's wife, fled Mississippi in fear for her life after a relative was falsely accused of turkey stealing, and landed in Chicago in 1937.
George Swanson Starling, a Florida citrus picker who was threatened with a lynching after trying to organize fellow pickers, ended up in Harlem in 1945.
Dr. Robert Joseph Pershing Foster headed west to Los Angeles from Monroe, La., in 1953, frustrated that he was not permitted in most operating rooms in the South, despite his success as an Army surgeon.
This trio of protagonists formed the foundation of Isabel Wilkerson's extraordinary accomplishment, "The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration," winner of the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize for nonfiction. The book's power resides not only in its intimate portraits, but also in its epic sweep, redolent of a great novel.
In a rare achievement, Wilkerson dramatized a long-overlooked chapter of American history, the story of 6 million African-Americans who fled the South and headed north after World War II, exchanging Jim Crow laws for an unknown world. "The migration was," said Wilkerson, as we sat in the Newberry Library last fall just after the book's publication, "one of the biggest underreported stories of the 20th century."
"The Warmth of Other Suns" emerged from Wilkerson's passion to correct history, but also reflected her deep attachment to it through her mother, who migrated to Washington, D.C., from Rome, Ga., and her father, a Tuskegee Airman, who left southern Virginia and headed to the nation's capital, where they married and raised Isabel.
"If there hadn't been a Great Migration," Wilkerson recalled, "I wouldn't have existed."
The New York Times sent Wilkerson to Chicago as a national correspondent in 1987, and then, as bureau chief, she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for feature writing. The entry consisted of her profile of a fourth-grader from Chicago's South Side and two stories reporting on a Midwestern flood the year before. When she wasn't traveling on stories, Wilkerson lived in River North, but spent most of her years in a small Victorian house in Oak Park. She eventually took a leave in 2000 to begin working on "The Warmth of Other Suns."
Among Wilkerson's first steps in what became a quest to document the Great Migration was the Newberry Library genealogy classes. She then branched out across the country, interviewing more than 1,200 people, not only searching for the protagonists for the book, but also looking to enrich the narrative with the depth of multiple experiences. This sent her to Mississippi clubs, Masonic Lodges, class reunions, union meetings of retired postal workers, bus drivers and transit workers. She also attended quilting clubs, Baptist churches, senior centers, Sunday Masses and Juneteenth Day celebrations, which commemorate the abolition of slavery in Texas.
After leaving Chicago, Wilkerson worked on the book from her home base in Atlanta, where she was on the faculty of Emory University, and Boston, where she is professor of journalism and director of narrative nonfiction at Boston University. To provide a context and enhance what she heard in her interviews, Wilkerson dissected a book a day, from scholarly examinations to works of fiction. Wilkerson remained in constant contact with the three central figures in the book, juggling the relationships over the years. "The Warmth of Other Suns" is built on their trust, and Wilkerson repaid it by shaping their stories into narratives and braiding them together in a high-wire literary feat informed by her deep investigation into the past.
The book's title was drawn from Richard Wright's explanation that he was seeking the warmth of other suns so he might bloom and live out his dreams. While the title is also evocative of Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun," Wilkerson explains that if there was a literary inspiration to her book, it's a novel like "The Grapes of Wrath," the moving multicharacter journey of farmers headed west in search of a better life.
Among its other accolades, Wilkerson's book won the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction. (I serve on the board of directors and was involved with the selection process.) The Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prizes are not regional awards, but rather they celebrate literature that comes from the metaphorical heart of the nation.
"The Warmth of Other Suns" places the Great Migration in the sweep of American history and was important in setting the civil rights movement into motion. As Wilkerson explained, "It was the first big step the servant class took without asking. It was affirmation of the power of an individual decision."
Robert Foster, George Starling and Ida Mae Gladney did not live to see their stories on the page, and Wilkerson misses them. Gladney died in 2004, and although Wilkerson clearly loves all three of the central figures in her drama, she seems to have a special affection for Gladney. "Ida Mae never changed who she was and she was the happiest," says Wilkerson, "and she lived the longest of all."

20 Massive problem with his image, literally.
27 His son ? Really ?
29 Why is his Gold/Silver/Crystal pokemon on another page?
i think the original japanese you guys have in here for silver its not the right one cause while i put it in pokeani it appeared richie.
Sketch: Even if we don't replace the main image, shouldn't we add the scan with the redesign somewhere in the article?
Quote: "Giovanni and Silver's relationship is revealed in HeartGold and SoulSilver if the player brings a promotional Celebi to the Ilex Shrine in Ilex Forest. Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from them failing his father."
This page's introduction is kind of confusing. When I first read it, it sounded like the Fame Checker referenced Special and "Silver's dark demeanor" along with the red haired child clue. I'd edit this myself, but wanted to ask if this was just me or if other people also find the sentence structure confusing.
Here's the sentence as it is now: Prior to the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, fan speculation held that Silver was Giovanni's red-haired child, due to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's Fame Checker's many references to Pokémon Gold and Silver versions, to Giovanni being Silver's manga equivalent's father in Pokémon Special, and to Silver's dark demeanor and detestment of Team Rocket.
And here's how it could be changed: Prior to the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, fan speculation held that Silver was Giovanni's red-haired child, citing as evidence Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's Fame Checker's many references to Pokémon Gold and Silver versions, Giovanni being Silver's manga equivalent's father in Pokémon Special, and Silver's dark demeanor and detestment of Team Rocket. A sidequest in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver later proved the theory true.
Shiningpikablu252: Oh, come on! You said yourself that Leaf should be mentioned in the FR/LG section of the timeline article but not in the G/S/C/HG/SS section because she existed on FR/LG but not on the G/S/C/HG/SS timeline. Now you're contradicting yourself by mentioning her in an article that is about a GSC character, and therefore, it's about the GSC timeline (especially considering that the part I edited was talking about a line said by Giovanni in HG/SS, not FR/LG, so he was clearly talking about Red). What's up with that?
Furthermore, Red's team at Mt. Silver is based primarily on other forms of Pokémon media, primarily Ash from the anime, but also in Generation II from Red in Pokémon Special (this would explain Espeon). As far as we're concerned, if the depiction of Red is not fully video-game-based, then nobody has a place to say that Leaf has absolutely no place in canon simply because Red's there and Leaf's not.
"If the fact that Red appears in Mt. Silver and Leaf doesn't appear at all were enough to outright suggest that only one of them can exist in canon, then there wouldn't even be any canonicity debates to begin with."
The point is - Leaf's story from FR/LG isn't canon. Red and Leaf can't both be the kid who defeated Team Rocket and became the regional Kanto champion in the same continuity.
"However, the one and only text reference in the original Generation II games that explicity implies Red came from Copycat, something that can easily be changed to be gender-neutral in a remake. Even back in Generation II, they said Team Rocket was broken up three years ago by "a kid", which in Genration IV context would imply either Red or Leaf."
If that was the case, I wouldn't have a problem with leaving the kid's identity's ambiguous. However, you're wrong. Blue stated that he was defeated by Red (yes, he mentioned his name) after he became champion when you meet him in Cinnabar Island.
"Furthermore, Red's team at Mt. Silver is based primarily on other forms of Pokémon media, primarily Ash from the anime, but also in Generation II from Red in Pokémon Special (this would explain Espeon). As far as we're concerned, if the depiction of Red is not fully video-game-based, then nobody has a place to say that Leaf has absolutely no place in canon simply because Red's there and Leaf's not."
Not really. Special Red's team was based on GSC Red's, not the other way around.
GSC and HG/SS Red's team is based on the four Gen I starters (Pikachu, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise) and Pokémon that Red canonically met in Gen I (he got Eevee from that man in Celadon, Lapras from that Silph scientist, and Snorlax when he met it blocking the path to Fuchsia). The only part of HG/SS Red's team that is a reference to other media is Pikachu, as it has the same moves as the anime Pikachu.
"In closing: The Leaf mentions stay. To remove them would imply that the Generation I games were the one and only proper canon for the three-years-ago story, and that FireRed/LeafGreen themselves are non-canonical, and that in turn would put some doubt on HeartGold/SoulSilver's canonicity. Whether the Leaf mentions remain in the current wording or not, that remains to be seen."
"if you play as Kotone and Leaf will appear instead"
Kingofall42 10:20, 10 October 2009 (UTC) there you go.
Massive problem with his image, literally.
His son ? Really ?
Why is his Gold/Silver/Crystal pokemon on another page?
This is then confirmed when you speak to the police officer who asks for ???'s name. When you answer with the correct answer, ???, the cop accepts your correct answer and lets you continue with the game. ??? is then identified by his canon name, ???, throughout the whole game for decades. This is still the case on my original copies of both Pokémon Gold AND Pokémon Silver - and yours too if you played it right and the batteries didn't die.
Frankly, this whole Gnohio thing seems like you and/or your friend making something up and seeing if you can get Bulbapedia to accept it.
You come out of nowhere with something no one else knows anything about, present a "screenshot" that could easily be faked, and you've at the very least coordinated with someone else to make it look like you're not just a lone crazy. That's fishy as all get out.

IPOpener, open your ports to people you trust. Close them to everyone else.
Simple scripts to enable HTTP authenticated dynamic firewall rules.
Perfect for granting dynamic hosts access to trusted ports!
One day soon maybe I'll merge the content and explain better....don't have time now.
A while ago I read an article in the Linux Journal about Port Knocking. Port knocking allows the system administrator to keep their system invisible while granting access to those with the special "knock". Port knocks are great to increase system security because it defends against system probes. However, port knocking becomes useless on a system that MUST open even a single port. The probing system is aware that the system is listening on that IP and the attacker can focus his attention on that machine.
I'm proposing a new solution that doesn't seek to make your system invisible but instead helps maintain control of the sensitive ports which only trusted users should have access.
Instead of closing all ports. (something that most system can't do because they MUST provide services to the outside world). We setup port authorization on an existing external service. A perfect candidate for this solution is the webserver. Webservers typically allow traffic to ports http(80) and optionally https(433). Almost every system I have ever setup includes a webserver. In addition, most webservers run as non-root users so exploits on webservers are typically safer than root run servers like ssh.
The problem with just opening traffic to HTTP is that we still require other ports to be open for management and content submission. We'd like to be able to login from time to time using ssh but we don't want to open ssh to the world. Leaving ports open that are required for the outside world is dangerous because of potential software bugs. Software bugs in things like sshd lead to system compromise.
The solution is to create a place on your webserver that is password protected and encrypted. These requirements are easy to setup using a webserver like apache. Details on apache installation and setup with https are outside the scope of this document and can be found easily on google.
Once we get a place setup for authorized users to login. Users can begin to login to the site. If the user is an authorized user, their incoming IP is logged to a database and iptables is notified of the change. The webserver then indicates to the user that he may now connect to the authorized ports.
The benefits of a system such as this is that your may keep all unnecessary ports closed to everyone except those with password access. Users don't have to install software to open ports on your machine, all that is required is a web browser. Once users login to the authorized site, trusted port access can be granted indefinitely or for a brief period of time. Since users are required to login to the website before using the trusted ports, you have an audit trail which can be used to "track down" the user who is causing problems with the trusted service.
Installation and management of IPOpener is very easy.
Users and port access is all managed from a database. At this point it is done using mysql but other databases are possible.
Then insert some user that can access the trusted ports.
For example I might want the guest user to be able to access the port for ssh. I would simply insert the following SQL into the database.
echo "Hello there ".$REMOTE_USER ." coming from: ".$REMOTE_ADDR."
Now when the user guest logs into the protected directory using his webbrowser, the system will update the database with the new IP address that should have access and automatically add the rule to iptables.
echo "An error occurred while trying to connect to the database server.
echo "Error message: " . $db->getMessage() . "
echo "A more detailed error description: " . $db->getDebugInfo() . "
// our database isn't opened!
So this gets the data into your system. But now how do we dynamically add rules to our firewall?
There are a couple of ways to do it. One would be to make an IPTABLES module that actually reads results from the database, another would be to write a simple daemon that monitors the database for changes and executes the appropriate iptable commands, and the last and easiest would be to create a simple cron script to run at a regular interval.
# Force application every 5 minutes.
# Makes sure that iptable chain not lost in mem, but file on disk unchanged.
psad - Intrusion Detection with iptables, iptables Log Analysis, iptables Policy Analysis - psad is a collection of three lightweight system daemons (two main daemons and one helper daemon) that run on Linux machines and analyze iptables log messages to detect port scans and other suspicious traffic.

Q: PhantomJS rasterize to PNG OK but fails for PDF My goal is to get a vector graphic of a web page and insert it into a PDF report that I am generating.
Currently I have some code that uses PhantomJS (1.9.8) to capture a screen shot of the required browser page as a PNG.  In case it helps the page is of a single chart rendered by AMCharts

phantomjs.exe .\examples\rasterize.js http://some.URL test.png

My code reads the generated file and inserts the PNG into the PDF report and all is good.
I am now trying to improve this and insert a vector graphic into the PDF report.  Idea was to generate a PDF using PhantomJS and grab the graphic out of it and insert it into my PDF report.

phantomjs.exe .\examples\rasterize.js http://the.same.URL test.pdf

But now all I get is a blank PDF document.  It's a valid PDF but there is nothing in it!
If I change the URL to one of the AMChart examples everything appears to be fine.  So it's something to do with my actual web page but what?
I have had a read around and the only thing I have tried is to remove all the @media tags as I understand that PhantomJS will try to use the @media print style.  This did not help me.
I'm stuck!  Anyone got any ideas?

TV Anime Black Clover's New Ending Theme by TREASURE Debuts
09.January.2021 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC
# TREASURE
The new ending theme BEAUTIFUL by TREASURE for the TV anime series Black Clover hit the air on January 5, 2021. The song has been a hit with TREASURE fans around the world as it garners huge attention on social media, with the hashtag "#BlackClover_with_TREASURE" having trended this week.
TREASURE is a South Korean boy band signed to YG Entertainment which is known for some of the biggest names in the K-pop industry such as BIGBANG and BLACKPINK. The band released three consecutive singles in August, September, and November of 2020 as part of their THE FIRST STEP single series which has sold over 700,000 copies. The band also won Best New Act last year at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards and Korea First Brand Awards.
"We are honoured that our first original Japanese song will be used as the ending theme before we make our Japan debut," explains TREASURE. "We express those anime themes of positivity and not giving up on your dream in the song. We'd love it if you enjoyed it together with the series."
Black Clover is a manga series written and illustrated by Yūki Tabata and serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump. The story follows a boy by the name of Asta who is born without magic—something unknown in his world―and his journey to become the next Wizard King. An anime adaptation has been airing since 2017 with its fourth season currently airing.
TREASURE will release their first album THE FIRST STEP:TREASURE EFFECT digitally on January 11, 2021, with the CD edition dropping the following day on January 12.

It has been confirmed that Snow Man and TREASURE will perform the new opening and ending theme songs respectively for Black Clover Starting in January. Snow Man is set to showcase a special anime music video featuring the song at Jump Festa 2021 ONLINE, and there will also be a live streamed performed by Gakuto Kajiwara who voices Asta in the anime series.
Black Clover is a manga series written and illustrated by Yūki Tabata and serialised in Weekly Shonen Jump. The series has over 11 million copies in circulation. The story follows a boy by the name of Asta who is born without magic—something unknown in his world―and his journey to become the next Wizard King. An anime adaptation has been airing since 2017 with its fourth season currently airing.
The series will enter a new arc on January 5, 2021 as part of Season 4 which will introduce the new opening theme Grandeaur by Snow Man and ending theme BEAUTIFUL by TREASURE. Snow Man previously performed the Black Clover opening theme Stories which served as their second single and enjoyed over a million streams. TREASURE is a South Korean boy band with BEAUTIFUL as their first original Japanese song.
Snow Man will reveal a special music video featuring the new opening theme Grandeur at the upcoming online anime festival Jump Festa 2021 ONLINE which is set to begin on December 20, 2020 at 11:30am (JST). Gakuto Kajiwara, the voice of Asta in the Black Clover anime series, will also perform the current ending theme A Walk. If you didn't know, the voice actor is in fact the original singer for that song.
Snow Man | Comment
"We're so happy we get to do another Black Clover opening song. Grandeur is French for splendour. The lyrics talk of plunging forward in the world together with your comrades, things like overcoming your fate and taking your dream in your grip and running with it, and nabbing a world beyond imagination in the palm of your hands. We hope you enjoy the incredible world of Black Clover while listening to our song Grandeur."
TREASURE | Comment
"We are honoured that our first original Japanese song will be used as the ending theme before we make our Japan debut. We express those anime themes of positivity and not giving up on your dream in the song. We'd love it if you enjoyed it together with the series."

Having released the new song Black Catcher digitally on January 8, 2020, Vickeblanka just dropped the song's official music video.
Vickeblanka 'Black Catcher' Official Music Video
https://youtu.be/hP6VM6YAMIE
Committed to releasing a new song digitally every month for three months, Black Catcher marks Vickeblanka's second song release in the project. Black Catcher was written as the season 10 anime opening theme song for Black Clover. The ominous video reflects darkness and urgency, weaving the turbulent story with a sense of awakening. The colours of the video create a world of distorted paradise.
Although the new Black Clover episodes started airing just yesterday, the video for the opening theme song has already become a big sensation and is already showing signs of becoming the top fighting spirit song of 2020.
A Statement by Vickeblanka
I cannot express just how privileged I feel to have been entrusted with creating the opening theme song for Black Clover for the second time now. The music video is a story of being purified by a small version of oneself. Although part of the video is just me messing around, I hope that viewers can connect with the song through the visuals created by the unique colours and atmosphere.
Vickeblanka will release a new album called Devil on March 4, 2020 and is also set for Tour de Devil 2020. Tickets will be available to purchase from event hosts in the respective performance regions.

Vickeblanka's New Song 'Black Catcher' Revealed as Black Clover Opening 10
Artist Vickeblanka will release a new song called Black Catcher on January 8, marking the second release of the singer's three-month digital song release plan. Black Catcher will be used as the tenth opening theme song for the anime Black Clover.
A strong melody pours out over the dark soundscape of this song. The groaning bassline is punctured by the sharp beat of the drums, over which the guitar melody glides gracefully, entwined with the turbulent yet beautiful piano accompaniment. The fighting spirit of the song rises with the endless strength of the vocals.
This isn't the first Black Clover opening theme song for Vickeblanka – the artist previously released the song Black Rover as a Black Clover anime opening. The song ranked at number 15 on Spotify's 2019 list of most played Japanese songs overseas. At the moment, the sensational song has been played over 20 million times on streaming services and over 15 million times on just Spotify alone, leaving expectations for Vickeblanka's upcoming track at an all-time high.
As a Jump fan, I am extremely honoured to be in charge of a Black Clover opening for the second time now. As the story has progressed significantly since, I put a lot more empathy into this song. It is filled with darkness and a sense of urgency.
Vickeblanka is set to release the new album Devil on March 4, marking the artist's third ever original album release in a year and four months. As fans reminisce of how we were drawn in by the euphoric world of Vickeblanka's previous album wizard, the complete change of tone with the new album Devil is sure to shock listeners.
Vickeblanka will also embark on a tour titled Tour de Devil 2020 which consists of eight performances including some in Higashi-Meihan halls. The tour will kick off at Orix Theater, Osaka on April 29 and will arrive at NTK Hall Forest Hall, Nagoya on May 1. The final performance will take place on May 9 at Nakano Sunplaza in Tokyo. Tickets will be available to purchase from event hosts in the respective performance regions.
Black Clover's New Ending Theme by Kalen Anzai Appears in Anime's TV Commercial
26.October.2019 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC
# Kalen Anzai
Kalen Anzai has been lauded as a next-generation icon, earning the nickname Posu Gyaru ("Post-Millennial Girl"). Her newest song Jinsei wa Senjō da is currently being used as the latest ending theme for the ongoing hit anime series Black Clover. The track was used in a new goosebump-incuding TV commercial for the show.
Kalen Anzai – "Jinsei wa Senjō da" (TV Anime Black Clover Ver.)
The commercial is a compilation of memorable scenes from the anime series woven together perfectly to make it look like the characters are singing the ending theme.
The commercial has kindled an excited fire amongst fans of the show, with Japanese viewers commenting such things as, "Asta's singing! They have all the best scenes in there, I'm hyped to watch again!" and "I've never seen a commercial like this before."
Since her debut, Anzai's popularity has spread across Japan: she was featured on the front cover of online and physical Shibuya culture magazine POSTOKYO.JP, was the first female solo artist to feature in the promotional visual for cosmetic brand M·A·C, has appeared on MTV and MUSIC ON! TV and more. Her android-like appearance has even sparked rumours that she is a virtual artist. She has garnered huge attention for both her sound and visual aspect.

Black Clover's New ED Theme 'Jinsei wa Senjō da' Performed by Kalen Anzai
# Tower Records
Kalen Anzai made her debut with her single Sekai no Subete Teki ni Kanjite Kodoku Sae Ai Shiteia which was released across digital music platforms on May 1 this year. Since then, her music has been picked up by major music media services, like MTV and MUSIC ON! TV in Japan, who have played her songs countless times.
Since her debut, she has been lauded as a next-generation icon, earning the nickname Posu Gyaru ("Post-Millennial Girl"). Her popularity has spread across Japan: she was featured on the front cover of online and physical Shibuya culture magazine POSTOKYO.JP, was the first female solo artist to feature in the promotional visual for cosmetic brand M·A·C, and more.
Her new single, Jisei wa Senjō da ("Life is a Battleground"), was released digitally on October 1. The song will be used as the new ending theme for the ongoing TV anime series Black Clover.
She has been a longtime fan of the manga series, which has sold over 9 million copies. It is written and illustrated by Yūki Tabata and serialised in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.
Speaking about her involvement with the series, Anzai commented: "Everyone in the Black Bull squad is straightforward when it comes to their feelings, and they believe in their friends. It's something that always gives me courage. I'm honoured to have the opportunity to sing the ending theme for a series I love so much."
She continues: "This song is akin to Asta, [touching on things like] the pain felt in the face of adversity, and sewing courage, so I'd be overjoyed if it gets across to people in some way when it plays in the series."
The official music video was posted on avex's YouTube channel and can be seen below.
The music video is Anzai's third in a series of three, following on from Sekai no Subete Teki ni Kanjite Kodoku Sae Ai Shiteia and Dareka no Raise no Yume Demo ii. It's set in a fictional world called "Immersive Society 3.0," based on a near-future created by advanced AR technology. It considers the worry of losing sight of our real selves to create a virtual version.
Anzai teamed up with some of Japan's leading Sci-Fi creators to make this crazy virtual reality feel more real, including acclaimed Japanese CG studio Cafe Group, and Yuki Tsujimoto who has received huge praise for his futuristic visuals.
Anzai's outfit was created by RISA "ribbon" KATO―who is known for her unique style and as a spearhead of street fashion―while her hair and makeup in the video was done by TORI. who is also known for her work as a collage artist. All of the people involved with the music video have helped to elevate its cyberpunk, vaporwave, and avant-garde aesthetic.
Anzai has also teamed up with Tower Records for their Ki ni Naru Ano Ko ("We're Curious About That Artist") promotion for Tower Records Members. The above-pictured poster is now plastered across all Tower Records branches. Anzai is dressed in the music store's red and yellow colours and is serving that post-millennial girl makeup.
With the hype around her surging, we look forward to seeing what Kalen Anzai has in store next. Stay tuned for updates.

The new anime opening video was also posted on her official YouTube channel.
Ohmori is responsible for having written the lyrics for and composed the track while ANCHOR (ZiNG), who arranged many of her tracks from her album Kusokawa Party, produced the album.
The catchy track has a guitar rock sound backed up by Ohmori's high-pitched vocals laced with her characteristic word play. The lyrics reflect the feelings of the protagonist of the Weekly Shonen Jump series.
The digital song's cover art was created by Kaoru Aoyagi and is very Ohmori-esque.

SOLIDEMO & Sakuramen Perform Black Clover's New Ending Theme
08.January.2019 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC / Uncategorized
# Sakuramen
# SOLIDEMO
Eight-member all-male vocal group SOLIDEMO and the handsome pack of wagakki-instrument-playing guys in Sakuramen have collaborated on a new song titled My Song My Days which has been announced as the new ending theme for the Black Clover anime series.
The Black Clover manga series has been seralised in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since 2015 and has gone on to sell over 6 million copies. It takes place in a world where anyone has the ability to use magic and follows Asta and Yuno, orphans who were abandoned at a church orphanage. The series explores the adventures and growth of Asta, who hasn't been able to use magic since he was born, and Yuno, who wields great magical power.
My Song My Days combines SOLIDEMO's harmonies and Sakuramen's traditional Japanese instruments.
SOLIDEMO Members Comment:
"We have been reading Jump since [the series] was first serialised. We love it so we are extremely honoured to be performing the ending theme! Asta is someone who believes in his dreams and pushes forward in the face of adversity. We borrow that power too. In this collaboration with Sakuramen we get right into the outlook of the series and sing as if we have taken new magic into our hands."

TV Anime Series 'Black Clover' Season 2 Opening & Ending Theme Performed by Miyuna
# Miyuna
Eggs is a popular Japanese digital music website for indie bands where talented musicians set on music as a career gather. Miyuna is a female high school student and singer from Miyazaki Prefecture who has a page on the website, and it's there that she released a demo song with just her and an acoustic guitar which shot up to No. 1.
The singer was chosen to perform the opening and ending themes to season two of Black Clover which began on October 2.
Miyuna is 16-years-old and has only just entered her first year of high school. She began taking her music career seriously this summer, performing at clubs in her hometown of Miyazaki as well as Fukuoka and even as far as Tokyo. It's just short of 8 months since she began making music with her guitar.
By uploading the demo to Eggs during her early career and communicating in real time with music fans on social media she was able to complete the song. Listeners have shown support for this method of music distribution that turns the regular industry on its head – that a song that hasn't even been completed yet reached number one on both the weekly music and artist rankings.
When Miyuna began performing live in the early summer her overwhelming voice caught the attention of those involved in music immediately. It didn't take long for word on her to spread.
The 16-year-old has now become a big player in the industry with her involvement with Black Clover.
The opening theme song Reckless is now available on most major music streaming websites. It's a fast-paced number that expresses purely the troubles and impulses of a 16-year-old.
Miyuna said the following about her involvement with the series:
"Thank you so much for letting me be responsible for the theme songs – it's a big task. The protagonists Asta and Yuno leave their small village and embark to the big city to work hard and fulfil their big dream to become the Wizard King. I left Miyazaki Prefecture and am also working hard to fulfil my dream of becoming a singer. The two of them advance toward their dream without being crushed no matter what happens. Seeing that gives me great dreams and aspirations too. And the characters in Black Clover each have their own deep stories. Their worries and dark sides overlap with me too, and I also get courage seeing them overcome boundaries together with their comrades. I offer these important songs that tells those stories to everyone's hearts with everything I have!"
The fact that the songs overlap Miyuna's own circumstances with Black Clover's story means that the lyrics and melody have an energy and power that only she can express. They are a fitting addition to the anime which is entering its second year.
The ending theme is titled Heaven and Earth and Black Clover is the first place it was heard completed and in full.
