40 Hiram made the ash pots, shovels and sprinkling basins. With that, Hiram completed all the work he had done for King Shlomo in the house of Adonai — 41 the two columns, the two moldings of the capitals on top of the columns, the two nettings covering the two moldings of the capitals atop the columns, 42 the 400 pomegranates for the two nettings, two rows of pomegranates for each netting, to cover the two moldings of the capitals atop the columns, 43 the ten trolleys, the ten basins on the trolleys, 44 the one Sea, the twelve oxen under the Sea, 45 the ash pots, the shovels and the sprinkling basins. All these articles that Hiram made for King Shlomo in the house of Adonai were of burnished bronze. 46 The king cast them in the plain of the Yarden, in the clay ground between Sukkot and Tzartan. 47 Shlomo did not weigh any of these objects, because there were so many of them; thus the total weight of the bronze could not be determined.
48 Shlomo made all the objects that were inside the house of Adonai: the gold altar; the table of gold on which the showbread was displayed; 49 the menorahs — five on the right and five on the left in front of the sanctuary — of pure gold; the flowers, lamps and tongs of gold; 50 the cups, snuffers, basins, incense pans and fire pans of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both those for the doors of the inner house, the Especially Holy Place, and those for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple.

Barons to host OFSAA amidst uncertainty
PJ WILSON
Organizers of the OFSAA 'A' senior boys basketball tournament are "taking baby steps" while waiting to see what happens with high school sports across the province.
Starting Monday, members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation are expected to take job actions that will include withdrawing voluntary and extra-curricular activities.
OFSAA 'A' basketball tournament convener Pat Lalonde admits the uncertainty is preying on planning for the event.
"We haven't started to do too much yet," Lalonde said at Ecole Secondaire Catholique Algonquin, host for the championship. "We're just waiting for news on what is going to happen."
Algonquin hosted the championship in 2011, and agreed to shoulder the burden again as a last-minute replacement when the host for 2013 backed out.
"We had such great support last time we agreed to jump on it," Lalonde says. "It's still fairly fresh with us, all the planning, and we're hoping North Bay will be just as generous once again."
Once events shake themselves out next week, he says, organizers will have a better idea of what will be needed.
"We should have a better idea what is going on, whether we'll go at it full bore or not."
A total of 16 schools representing 18 secondary school athletic associations are expected to take part in OFSAA, from across Ontario. Algonquin, as the host, is assured a place in the championship, but Lalonde admits he hopes the school makes it there through its own power – by winning the NDA and NOSSA championships.
"If we win NOSSA, we get a better seeding," he says. "It's always better to come in as the regional champs."
The Barons are a virtually new team from last year, with only three veterans returning. But Anthony Foreshew and Spencer Hunt are confident their teammates will be able to deliver the goods this year.
"I think it's going to be a good season," Hunt said Wednesday at a team practice.
"It's going to be hard with so many guys gone," he admitted. "It's going to be an exciting season."
Hosting OFSAA, they said, will be an incentive for the team, and the chance to play before a hometown crowd.
"It's comfortable to play in our own gym," Foreshew said. "When you play in another city, stay in hotel rooms, it takes a toll on the body."
He said it's exciting to have the OFSAA championship here, and combined with the NOSSA championship being hosted by the top NDA team – Algonquin, Chippewa or Northern – local participants will have a real advantage.
OFSAA will be held March 4-6 at Algonquin, with the NOSSA championship to be held Feb. 22-23.

The Walking Dead Telltale Series
'The Walking Dead' Boss on Major Comic Book Deviations
By Cameron Bonomolo - March 23, 2019 08:30 pm EDT
The Walking Dead will continue to both stray and borrow from creator Robert Kirkman's comic books amid the unique circumstances surrounding the television show, including the mid-season departures of Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes and Lauren Cohan's Maggie Rhee.
"There's a jump in the comics but you know we decided to go a little further ahead in time than the comics do," showrunner Angela Kang said at PaleyFest in Los Angeles when explaining the six-year time jump that followed Rick's disappearance, dwarfing the 24-month skip that separated All Out War and A New Beginning in the books.
"I kind of felt like, 'Okay, we're writing out Rick... how do we promise that there is so much more cool story to tell with all these amazing characters that we have on the show?' So I thought it would be a really fun twist to jump that time at the end of his last episode."
That jump significantly aged up Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming), now 10-years-old, in part as a response to the death of brother Carl (Chandler Riggs). In the books, it's Judith who died long ago, while Carl acts as an integral part of the Whisperers storyline: there he finds a girlfriend in the daughter of Whisperer leader Alpha, a plot now unfolding in the show between Lydia (Cassady McClincy) and show-only creation Henry (Matt Lintz).
With these changes come such hefty deviations as the death of Jesus (Tom Payne), who is still counted among the living in Kirkman's monthly comic, as the first victim of the Whisperers. Though both iterations of The Walking Dead share little resemblance in light of recent events — Rick, Carl, and Maggie continue to play key roles in the books — beats often play out the same in the show, including a coming plot twist that acts as one of the television series' most powerful page-to-screen translations.
"We're all so inspired by the comics," Kang added. "Kirkman is such a master of the page-turner. You read it and it's like a juicy, juicy, just fun comic book to read. There's so many wonderful, iconic moments in the comics. Moments you get to and just say, 'Oh my God, I can't believe he just did that. I have to see this on screen!' As writers, as with any fans of the comics, we have those same responses. But with the show we have such a different array of characters and such different circumstances that it's never going to be exactly the comic, nor should it be. It's a different medium."
Two of its leading characters now driving much of the action belong to that same group of deviations: Norman Reedus' Daryl was created exclusively for the show while Melissa McBride's Carol was wildly different in the comic books, where she died relatively early into its run.
The writers then don't feel beholden by the source material, but instead interpret Kirkman's works for their own medium. "So what's really fun is to go, here's that amazing moment in the comic and here's how it made us feel," Kang said. "Now, how do we capture that feeling, even if the way you get to it is not literally the same way that the comic book got to it?"
The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9/8c on AMC.

You shave and two days later you can feel the little stubble already growing back. Has this happened to you? Are you tired of shaving constantly? Maybe you have tried switching to waxing but it does not seem to help either.
Waxing can be a painful and tedious process. Plus, you have to periodically dish out money every few weeks, which does not make it a cheap affair.
Dealing with body hair removal can get stressful. It is an on-going process and requires your time as well as patience. Laser hair removal is the answer to this dilemma, as it is a one-time investment and offers permanent solutions.
What is laser hair removal treatment? How does it work?
Laser hair removal treatment involves hair removal by emitting heat energy which penetrates deep down to the root of each hair strand and damages the follicle. The root of the hair is destroyed and prevents further growth of hair.
The procedure requires six to eight sessions. This is to make sure the damaged hair follicle isn't able to produce more hair for a long period of time. It is relatively safe for all hair types and skin tones.
Laser treatments work well on different parts of the body. Chin, hands, legs, bikini line and underarms can all be subjected to the treatment. The pain level varies with each body part. For instance, it tends to be more painful on your underarms compared to your arms.
The hair removal process is safe for the skin. The procedure is immediately followed by cooling creams which help your skin to cool down.
Laser hair removal offers permanent hair removal solutions and it will reduce hair growth to the point where you don't have to make trips to the salon anymore and you can say bye bye to your razors.
The biggest advantage is that you do not have to go to the salon every few weeks. With each laser session, your hair growth will reduce and the thickness of the hair will reduce as well. This makes the sessions less and less painful.
Although it helps significantly reduce hair growth—this is a lengthy procedure. You might have to take multiple sessions before you reach the desired results. You also have to wait for six weeks between each session, so, buckle up! This is going to be a long journey.
The treatment doesn't work on people with grey or white hair.
While it may last longer than any other method, it is going to cost you a pretty penny. But, in the long run, it is a great investment as it will save you lifelong trips to the salon.
This procedure has to be performed by trained technicians only, otherwise your skin can be harmed.

Hakuouki SSL: Okita Souji
July 8, 2014 at 3:20 am | Posted in Hakuouki SSL, Otome Games | 4 Comments
Tags: Morikubo Shoutaro, Otomate
I said I won't do super detailed summaries anymore… but I thought it's actually fun to do this because it's like I'm keeping a record of the entire game! xD. Here's a detailed summary of events that happen exclusively in Okita Souji's route. Common events aren't included here — I'll make a separate post for that, probably when I finish the entire game, since I'm still checking stuff. My review for this route is at the latter part of the post.
Spoiler fest awaits! ・´∀`・)
Introduction (from Story 00)
CV: Morikubo Shoutaro
At the beginning of the game, Souji is a second year student from class 2-1. He loves teasing people and taking photos using his smart phone. He is also a member of the kendo club. From the previous Hakuouki games, we know that Souji is a big Kondo-san fanboy and Hijikata-hater.
Story 01
On her way to their homeroom, Chizuru sees Heisuke and Souji in the first year corridor. She didn't go to school together with Heisuke today because he has kendo club practice. Noticing that it's rare for second year students to be at the first year rooms' hallway, Chizuru asks why they're in there. Heisuke didn't want to tell the reason but Souji nudges him in. They answer that they're still worried about Chizuru so they came to check on her.
After hearing the announcement that there will be punishment for those who will score low in the periodical exams, Chizuru heads to the cafeteria for lunch. There, a babble fight ensues between Hijikata-sensei and Kazama-senpai, but Chizuru decides to leave the two be and eat with Heisuke and Souji. Wile eating lunch, they talk about the punishments for the exam low-scorers. Chizuru mentions that the punishments are pretty harsh and Souji agrees to this. He says that the punishments the faculty decided on don't have anything to do with studying and that oni sensei is so cruel to propose such a thing xD. Turns out, Souji actually does good in all subjects except for one: Classic Literature, which is taught by none other than the oni sensei Hijikata himself lol xD. Souji says that he doesn't actually hate the subject, he just hates the teacher teaching the subject.
The afternoon before the periodical exams, Chizuru saw someone waving at her from the rooftop. She heads to the rooftop and learns that it's Souji and he just wanted to show her the beautiful sunset. Upon knowing this, Chizuru lectures Souji that he should be studying and not playing around because tomorrow is the exam. But Souji answers that there's no law saying that students should be shaking in fear before exams, and also, there's no law saying that they can't play around on the day before the exam. There, Souji also mentions that Kondo actually looked after him when he was young so he does his best in kendo and all the subjects (except classic lit of course xD) in the hopes that Kondo will rely on him more. Unfortunately, there's also someone close to Kondo that takes away Souji's quality time with Kondo, which is Hijikata, so he doesn't like that guy. Anyways, Chizuru and Souji take a commemorative picture at the rooftop.
When the test results were posted, Chizuru is happy with her score. She sees Souji and he congratulates her for doing well in the exams. She asked how Souji's scores are, but he says it's a secret. Souji wants to give Chizuru a reward for doing well in the exams, and tells her to meet him at he school gate after classes are over.
One summer vacation day, Chizuru decides to go to the library to return the book she borrowed and do some homework. At the school grounds, she remembers Heisuke telling her to go see their kendo club practice if she has some free time, so she heads to the dojo first. There she sees how cool Okita-senpai is during practice (lol that's just my opinion on Souji practicing nvrmnd that xD). At the same time that she got there, Kondo dismissed the students for lunch break so she got to talk to Kondo, Heisuke, and Souji. Heisuke mentions that Chizuru could be the kendo club's manager. But Souji is definitely not pleased with this idea and tells them that the other members just wanted to brag about having the only girl in school as their club manager. Seeing that what Souji just said is true, Heisuke and Kondo decide to drop the idea. However, Souji, being Souji, followed up with, "Oh, if you can't be the club manager, then why not be my personal manager instead?" xD. Anyways, that idea is dropped too since Heisuke definitely won't allow that to happen xD. In the end, Kondo just invited Chizuru to eat lunch with the kendo club and there she got to seat beside Souji (≖ω≖。)♪
At the pool, the Souji-Chizuru group wins the water gun fight so they got free tickets for the poolside bar. There, Chizuru mentions that the two of them together looks like a couple, like the other pairs in the poolside bar, from which Souji answers that there's no sign that doesn't allow non-couples in the bar so they're fine xD. Souji decides to buy their drinks, and to Chizuru's surprise, he bought only one drink in one glass that has two straws (see CG for reference lol xD) — like what couples drink! Souji is like lol don't worry, there's nothing like 'Drink for couples' written in the menu so it's fine(≧∇≦). Of course, Chizuru's embarrassed to share a drink with Souji in the same glass and moreover they are in public so she doesn't drink at first, but Souji insists and says that "Oh then if we two are alone together, then you'll drink?" In the end, Souji wins and she drinks xD. While at it, Souji mentions that it's no good if he doesn't win, especially in kendo, because he's doing his best to get back Kondou's Shiekan dojo, which was forced to close because of some bad people. But as it turns out, it's just one of his made-up stories.
While their class is preparing for the cultural festival, Chizuru decides to go outside the school building and see how the other classes are preparing at the school courtyard. There she sees Class 2-1, Souji and Heisuke's class. Chizuru overhears them talking about their preparation for their takoyaki store, with Souji suggesting that they should add Sannan's weird medicine in their ingredients LOL XD. Of course, Hijikata, their homeroom teacher, is in total opposition to this idea xD. A moment later, Heisuke finally notices Chizuru and calls her in. Heisuke asks her how her class has been doing since he heard that Chizuru's class is aiming to be awarded the best booth. He also tells Chizuru not to sweat it and enjoy the school fest instead. However, Souji comments that there's no meaning if you aren't going to win, like how he is in kendo because he hates losing more than anything else. Chizuru agrees with Souji, and tells them that her class is definitely going to win since they are doing their best. Souji is impressed, and tells her may the best man win xD.
During the school festival, Chizuru is very busy working in their maid cafe. Souji comes to check on her and their cafe and invites her to go around the school later. Chizuru agrees and tells Souji to wait until her break time. After serving a stampede of guests, Ryunosuke finally allows Chizuru to go for a break. Chizuru is about to go and change from her maid outfit, but Souji tells her that it's a waste if she changes from maid outfit to casual. Hearing this, Ryunosuke agrees because having their maid walking around the campus is a good publicity that they're holding a maid cafe xD. Outside the cafe, Souji tells Chizuru to stop calling guests "Goshujinsama" because he's jealous (≖ω≖。)♪. He also compliments Chizuru for her good work in their class booth while still having fun. When Souji asked where Chizuru wants to go, she requests for a quiet place since she wants to rest during her break time. Souji agrees at first, but instead, he brings her in the school courtyard to enjoy the school fest. He tells her that he thought he wanted to show everyone that he's got the cute maid for himself during the school fest (๑´ლ`๑). Also, Souji wanted Chizuru to enjoy the booths in the school fest since this is an event that happens only once a year.
After class on the day that Serizawa's party is announced, Chizuru decides to head to the cafeteria before going home. There she sees Saito, Souji, and Hijikata arguing about Serizawa's party. Being the Kondo fanboy and Hijikata hater, Souji is so mad at Hijikata because Kondo is feeling down about the Kondo dressing up as Santa business being cancelled. Souji argues that it's Hijikata's fault that Kondo is dispirited ( ̄△ ̄;)エッ・・?. He says that it's Hijikata's duty to stop Serizawa's killjoy plans but he didn't do anything about it. Souji is about to hit Hijikata's until Chizuru stops him. Angry that his plans of damaging Hijikata's pretty face got stopped, Souji decides to head out of the cafeteria.
Chizuru followed Souji who went to the school clinic. There they explain the matter to Sannan-sensei. Turns out, Kondo is not involved in any outside affairs of the school because it is Hijikata who handles them. And so, only Hijikata can stop Serizawa's selfish plans but Hijikata never did anything about it. However, instead of Sannan sympathizing with Souji, Sannan added salt to injury by saying that Souji must have been looking up for Hijikata if he's relying on him for things regarding Kondo xD. Of course, Souji is not impressed and decides to change the subject by saying that he doesn't like blind gift exchanges. (As Sannan had mentioned earlier, Souji is part of the select students invited to Serizawa's party). At this, Chizuru answers that it's actually fun to open a blind gift from a random person. Souji doesn't agree though, since for him, the meaning of Christmas is receiving a gift from one special person.
On Christmas day, as Ryunosuke requested, Chizuru decides to help him with the preparations for the party. Since Chizuru thinks that it will be easier if there are more people, she decides to seek the help of a guy… whose name she first saw in her contacts list, which turned out to be Souji xD. She sent him a mail asking for help, but he replied with "No way" xD. Still, Souji calls her a moment later and agreed to help her, after asking why him, when there's Heisuke or Saito who are definitely willing to help. Chizuru answers that she's worried about Souji because it seems like he still doesn't like this Serizawa's party idea (Chizuru you big liar!! xD).
At Ryunosuke's place, Souji comments that the people living in the house shouldn't let their guard dog loose around the garden. Chizuru's like, huh? what dog? And it turns out that the dog Souji is referring to is Ryunosuke (Serizawa calls him "Inu"=dog) xD. Anyways, Ryunosuke gives them a list of decors to get from the creepy storage room. After getting all the items in the list, Souji notices some dirt on Chizuru's face and wipes it off. This causes Chizuru to blush all over xD. He also mentions that he isn't really interested in this party and the decorating wasn't fun either, but if he can see her face, then it's fine.
During the party, Chizuru decides to stay in one place so she won't bother anyone. As Sannan approached her, he noticed something above them (probably a mistletoe) and tells her that if there's "that thing" above them then it means they should do "that" (O_O). Before Sannan can do anything though, Kaoru and Souji came to Chizuru's rescue.
After the party, Chizuru and Souji walks home together. Souji says that he is pretty much happy because Kondo seems happy about the party since every student of the school got to attend. Souji does mention that he hated the fact that it's because of Hijikata's doing xD. Before going home, Souji invites Chizuru to go somewhere. At the station, he asks her to close her eyes and they walk a bit more. When they stop walking, Chizuru notices something warm touching her cheeks… and she thinks that it must be Souji's lips… but when she opens her eyes, it's actually just Souji's finger lol xD. It turns out that Souji wanted to show her the pretty Christmas lights, and this is his gift for her. He confesses that he actually planned on bringing Chizuru on a Christmas date, but Serizawa's party ruined it since it's on the same day. But in any case, the two of them got to spend some precious time together. After escorting Chizuru home, Souji invites her to do the first shrine visit of New Year (Hatsumoude) together with him.
Story 04.5
Since there are many people at the shrine for their Hatsumoude, Chizuru is worried that it may take long before she meets Souji. Souji finds her easily though, and he comments that it must have been the work of the red string of fate tying them together (๑´ლ`๑). Later, they reminisce about the past year. Regarding the rooftop photo moment (from story 01), Souji asks Chizuru why she still went to the rooftop even though she doesn't know who the person waving at her is. Chizuru answers with "No comment", although we as the reader know that during that time, Chizuru had the feeling it was Souji beckoning her to come to the rooftop. Regarding the pool event (Story 02), Chizuru comments that it would have been better if Kondo-sensei was invited too, but Souji answers that he didn't invite him because he knows that Kondo is busy and he doesn't want to bother him. Regarding the school festival (Story 03), Souji says that he's expecting that Chizuru's class will use her as their mascot again for this year's school festival lol xD. He's looking forward to her outfit for this year xD. Regarding story 04, we as the players, are hinted that Souji did do something… probably, he DID kiss Chizuru on the cheeks.
After leaving the shrine, Souji confesses that at first, he thought that Chizuru is an idiot for still entering the school even though she knows that she's the only female student there. However, his view changed as he spent time with her (I didn't see that coming ಠ_ಠ). When they arrive in front of Chizuru's house, Chizuru invites Souji to come in for some zouni (a New Year's dish). Chizuru lives alone in that house since her dad's still on some business trip but I suppose nothing happens inside other than eating and some chatting lol xD. Later, Souji bids goodbye as he's going home but Chizuru insists that she escorts him until halfway through his way home. Souji says that it should be a guy's duty, but he agrees anyway. On the way, there is an awkward silence between the two of them… until that CG below (idk, Chizuru said he kissed her in the cheeks but it doesn't look really like it… ?). Here, Souji tells Chizuru to go back home since accompanying him in this place with just the two of them is dangerous (lol yeah only the two of you were in her house just a while ago and you're saying this now?). Before saying goodbye, Souji tells Chizuru one last thing: about what he wished at the shrine. He says that recently, he realized that even though he still wants to be helpful to Kondo, it won't matter now if he wins or not (prolly in a kendo match). He wished that he be noticed by the person who made him realize that.
Back at home, Chizuru fusses about how she's feeling something more for her Okita-senpai now. Or something. ┐('~`;)┌
After that drama with all the guys trying to get close to Chizuru for giri choco and Kaoru banning bringing chocolates to school, Chizuru wakes up with a bad hair day. Although she wanted to pretty up herself more, she can't because she's already running late. On the way to school, she meets the person she least wanted to see her in this bad hair day: Okita-senpai! Because she still can't forget about what happened after their Hatsumoude (and because bad hair day), Chizuru avoids Souji by saying she's already late (well, she really IS already late…) and dashed away from him. But Souji easily caught up with her, and bugs her about Valentine's Day. Souji never seem to got an answer though, since Chizuru still haven't gathered up her feelings. Meh ┐('~`;)┌
On her way to the gym for P.E., Chizuru meets Souji again. He asks her about Valentine's day again, but AGAIN, she avoids the question and excuses herself saying she still has class. For the entire day, all that Chizuru's been thinking is Souji and that conversation they had earlier (prolly that question about Valentine's day). After worrying about it, Chizuru decides to end this drama once and for all and calls Souji, saying that she has something to tell him. Souji answers that if she wants to talk to him, then meet him at the kendo hall.
After their afternoon homeroom, Harada-sensei notices that there's something bothering Chizuru and asks her about it. Chizuru tells him her story about that kiss in the cheeks during Hatsumoude with Souji. Harada answers that there are different meanings to kisses, like a kiss on the forehead means friendship, and a kiss on the hand means respect. As for the kiss on he cheeks, he tells her that it means deep affection and satisfaction.
As what they talked on the phone, Chizuru goes to the kendo hall to meet Souji. There she finds him alone, and he asks her about her Valentine's day plans first and foremost. Souji asks if she's going to give him chocolate on the 14th, and if ever she does, what the meaning of the chocolate is. Chizuru dodges the question though, and asks him about what happened during Hatsumoude. Souji's like, not so fast, I was the first to ask a question! In the end, Chizuru made Souji promise that once she answers his question, he will answer her question immediately. At this, Souji whispers "I'll keep my promise" to her ear, a fanservice that is sooo not necessary ¬_¬.
On Valentine's Day, after getting past the people trying to take away her honmei choco, Chizuru runs into Kaoru while looking for her Okita-senpai. Since Kaoru is still determined to get the best siscon award, he chased after Chizuru to try to prevent her from giving honmei choco to Souji. While trying to get away from Kaoru, someone grabbed her and took her to the library. This person turns out to be Souji, and in the library, he asks Chizuru about the Hatsumoude event. IDK why but at this moment, Chizuru is now embarrassed to talk about that and she tries to run away, but Souji's like you were bugging me about that thing just some days ago and now you're avoiding the topic?? and kabe-dons her. Souji says he's just joking though, and lets her go immediately. Souji then decides to change the subject, and asks Chizuru if she has something to give him. She gives him her honmei choco, and Souji says he THINKS he likes her now and he wants her to stay by his side forever and I was like, uh, yeah right, nice romance development you have there Otomate ಠ_ಠ. Souji was about to eat the chocolate in the library so no one can take it away anymore if it's already in his stomach lol but Chizuru stops him because one shouldn't eat inside the library.
In the end, they decided to head to the rooftop so Souji can eat his chocolates without breaking rules. After eating, Souji tells Chizuru that if any other person asks her about chocolates, she should answer back with the truth and say "I have already given the chocolates to Okita-senpai ┐('~`;)┌". Chizuru thinks that Souji's being possessive and with that it seems like they're just like a real couple… until Souji finally declares that the two of them are now an official couple! He tells her to call him "Souji" now, but Chizuru doesn't give in since it's a bit embarrassing so after a couple of arguments later, they decided that she call him "Souji-senpai." So yeah basically they became an official couple on Valentine's day.
A week after the third term of school, Souji joined a kendo tournament and he placed second overall. On the way to school, Chizuru sees him (so he finally decides to go to school early? lol xD) and congratulates him on winning second place. Chizuru was worried that Souji might be feeling down because of his "I should always win" mantra, but it looks he isn't. Souji even tells that he's happy as long as he can see Chizuru's face… although he's even happier because Kondo, who they meet on the school gate, seems proud of him. Hijikata also appears, and tells that if Souji is really fine with being only second place, then there's nothing to worry about. When Hijikata and Kondo left, Serizawa comes and tells Souji that he could have won the tournament if he hadn't held back his attacks (or something… I'm not familiar with kendo terms). He also asks Souji if he's trying his best in kendo in order to get back Shiekan dojo. Souji says yes, and he'll get it back using what Shiekan dojo and Kondo taught him… but what they taught him aren't all kendo and winning, something more. Serizawa is amused to hear this, and tells Souji that he'll see what Shiekan's teachings can do. After Serizawa left, Souji thanks Chizuru because if not for her, he wouldn't have been able to dream the same dream as Kondo-san. He also asks her to support him from now on.
March of Chizuru's 2nd year, the 3rd year students, which include Souji, held their graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, Chizuru sees Souji outside the school building and she decides to follow him. When she caught up to him, Souji says that he's skipping his last high school homeroom class since Hijikata just says the same thing everyday lol xD. Instead, he wants to see the blooming cherry blossoms of the school. He adds that this may be the last time he may see this scene because he will be leaving the school so he's taking the opportunity to see it. Chizuru doesn't agree though, as Souji can still come back here anytime he wants. Then they kiss below the falling cherry blossom petals.
Before the ending credits, Chizuru plans about the future. Souji got a recommendation to a university because of the kendo tournament he joined, so he will be studying in that university. Chizuru hopes to enter the same university when she graduates, and the two of them may also be classmates for some subjects. If that happens, they will sit together in class. In the meantime, she will enjoy her last year in Hakuou Gakuen, while going on dates with Souji during free days.
Daily Story 1:
This is just about why Yamazaki is always avoiding Souji's gaze when they meet lol xD. Yamazaki also says that Souji should stop being too playful and follow the example of serious people like Hijikata and Saito. Souji comments that Yamazaki should add "that cute kouhai" in the list, to which Yamazaki answers with, "You mean Yukimura-kun?". At this, Souji teases Yamazaki since he hasn't even dropped a name yet, he just said "cute". Souji adds that Yamazaki's answer only means one thing: Yamazaki thinks that Chizuru is cute xD.
Kaoru is angry at Souji because he bought couple drinks during his time in the pool side bar with Chizuru xD. Souji says that it can't be helped since that drink wasn't really his choice, it was the bartender that suggested it. But he is happy that even "oniichan" Kaoru thought that him and Chizuru together looks like a couple. Hearing the word "oniichan" from Souji, Kaoru angrily orders Souji not to call him that because it's like some bad dream lol xD. Souji says that he doesn't like it too, as saying the word gives him goosebumps xD. Before leaving, Kaoru says once again that Souji stay away from his sister, or else. Souji sighs as he thinks that Chizuru must have been having a hard time dealing with a siscon older bro lol xD.
The afternoon after the school festival, Sannan approaches Souji because he's been assigned to look after mischief maker Souji lol xD. Sannan mentions that it's a shame that Souji kept the cute maid for himself when he also wanted her as his personal assistant (creepy Sannan…). For next year, Sannan wants Chizuru to dress up as a nurse (omg creepy Sannan is creepy o_O) but Souji says that it won't happen since Chizuru is already his.
While on his way home after the Hatsumoude with Chizuru, Souji bumps into Heisuke, who asks what he's doing in this place. Souji answers by bragging that he just accompanied Chizuru home. Heisuke seems to be happy to hear about this though, since he says it's already dangerous for a girl to walk home at night. He also adds more about him and Chizuru being childhood friends, and more about the two of them, until an irritated and jealous Souji hits him in the face lol xD
– My comments rants –
Wow Otomate, thanks for that nice plot I really enjoyed it ಠ_ಠ
I kind of get that the writers wanted the main plot in Souji's route to be this "winning and kendo and getting back Shiekan dojo". The story of this route could have been better (not that it's any good though) if they gave more time to explaining that stuff, but unfortunately, they just decided to throw in some lines regarding that in random places in the game ?? (⊙_◎) Like one chapter, Souji mentions that he doesn't like losing, and then the next chapter he's saying that he doesn't care anymore and it's thanks to Chizuru that he noticed that?? And for further explanations about the kendo stuff, they just crammed everything in the later part of story 05 ?? Idek and I don't want to care about it anymore (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Well if they decided to just shit it out with the main plot, I was guessing that they will at least put some effort in the romance category… but it looks like I'm wrong ?? The romance development is so freaking fast… I didn't feel any romance development, or at least something that will make Souji fall in love with Chizuru. Well I do know that from story 04, Souji mentioned that there's this person that made him realize that it isn't all about winning, and that person is Chizuru, as he mumbles in story 05, but what I can't seem to get is where in the story did Chizuru make him realize that???????? From that single line story 03? Where?? It really surprised me when Souji began saying "I want you to stay by my side always" like, whoa, when did he fall in love with me? I don't think I (or Chizuru, in this matter) have done anything fall in love-worthy ?? Well I could have bought the idea that they fell in love by spending time together but this brings me back to problem number 1, the "I should always win" crap, and by having that, it means that the writers do have some plot and romance development in mind; it's just that it seems like they got lazy to polish the story (or they weren't paid enough by Otomate lol).
But screw it all, I stopped caring about the plot and romance development after story 04.5. What could you expect from a milked game anyway? At least the Hakuouki fangirls can get some raburabu time with the guys. Unfortunately though, even though my favorite Hakuouki guy in the original game Shinsengumi Kitan is Okita Souji, I still never got to enjoy the fanservice in this route ( ´_ゝ`). I'm now kind of thinking that it could have been better if Souji is still sick in this game lol XD
Heart meter: ♥
So yeah, I am so disappointed in Souji's route. Well at least I now learned my lesson. I'm not expecting plot in the remaining routes, but I will be expecting better fanservice!! Sweet moments please!!
//Sigh I wish I was Chizuru… I just don't get WHY all anime girls don't think their lucky. I mean LOOK! There so lucky that they get a boy like that, that's so sweet and cute ;D sometimes I wish some boys were like anime's. Oh well…
"Life is life, love you Saitou & Souji <3"

Awwwww. Ganbatte on finishing this game! I hope the rest of it is not too bad. ^^
Comment by Haruna— July 8, 2014 #
Thanks! I hope so too! But to be fair, I'm really enjoying the character interactions ^_^ Maybe it just so happened that the first route I played is weakest plot. It's just kind of sad since Souji is my bias in the original game :((

You have a fresh, new product idea that your company want to sell up to a manufacturing company aka license for royalties. Meant for licensing or selling that can work, you need on to contact companies rather while compared to wait and hope they contact you.
There are numerous web site to post your invention. Some of these companies tell you they will match your invention that can their thousands of insurers in their database. Typically hold your breath.
For example, let's presume your invention is every new power tool. Its manufacturers of power ways are easily known. Start to Home Depot or Lowes and you'll decide Skil, Black and Decker, Dewalt, and the new ones. These are the lenders you need to reach. Otherwise what's the chance these companies will make contact with you first? Maybe one particular particular in a billion.
Calling companies is never that hard. Be prepared with what to say. Talk about the many advantages your invention has in offer the end-customer. And talk about how personal invention can benefit how the company such as significant profit margins, easy that will help manufacture, genealogy.us.org and easy towards package and sell.
When they ask for the purpose of more information, send a real Product Proposal. A Software Proposal is a short-lived document like a target business plan. The Product Proposal clearly states the exact market need, product description, benefits, advantages over which the competition, profit potential, and other information as wanted.
Companies will want new products to grow. Companies are really often very busy with every single tasks then have a reduced time toward be creative to advance up via new dietary supplement ideas. Companies need different products to finally increase profit, get to successfully market quicker, beat ones competition, plus provide whole lot of per selection in the market to their members. And who has companies slashing back forward staff, are trying hard to the most important outside for the purpose of new strategies.
Maybe may have seen Tv set commercials, websites, or ads on each of our radio relating to invention submissions help issuers saying how they is likely to help the public introduce very own invention in the the market industry.
The primarily thing they'll do happens to be get you to decide to buy a current report to get about $700. The report is a great basic web template with main information lectronic basically ineffective. With the report in hand, that they can tell you have to that my market check out indicates your very own idea carries big chance.
Then with regard to $10,000 to assist you $15,000 that they say the person will buy your creativity introduced to help you manufacturers. Many also have a look at to touched you increase for promotion programs such as movie clips and showcasing your advent at exhibitions.
Manufacturers be sent these publishing packages most of the time, and accompanied by throw these kind of people straight into the particles. The marketing company is off the hook just because they considered that they may submit your ideas to the industry. Don't waste material your your time and funding with quite a number of submission organisations.
Contacting the actual InventHelp Company yourself is the particular much better strategy than posting your family invention on a online business and after which hoping the best company must find individuals. Start just making any kind of a list associated with 10 brands that your company can reach out to right straight away.


Among City's six goals against Chelsea at Etihad Stadium, Sergio Aguero registered a second hat-trick in three games to make it nine goals in his last six matches in all competitions.
"I don't know at the moment, but I think that [talks] will happen". Sarri's purist form of football, with goals, pace and ambition, worked well at Napoli - even though he did not win a trophy - but has not translated itself to English football. I am anxious about my team and the performance, but my job?
"But I don't know what to expect; people keep asking me what I think about the situation, but I think that's a question which needs to be put to the club". "They played fantastic football and we made a lot of mistakes".
The away had lessened in numbers at half-time and the remaining thousands were not given anything to cheer about, with Aguero bagging his hat-trick in the 56th minute before Sterling notched his second late on.
Chelsea have lost three of their last six Premier League games, all away from home, meaning they sit outside of the top four, a point behind Manchester United.
Chelsea FC were 5-0 winners against Huddersfield Town last weekend after Higuain and Eden Hazard both scored two goals in a landslide win at Stamford Bridge.
City's next fixture is against Newport in the FA Cup on February 16.
Meanwhile, Apple will not introduce 5G-capable iPhones until 2020, according to a Bloomberg report citing anonymous sources. Samsung is only the first to do so, just like people's attitude toward the iPhone's Notch.
"We are there, we are the leaders, but Liverpool have one more game (in hand)".
Chelsea was un-picked after only four minutes. With a cleverly taken free kick down the right, Kevin De Bruyne released Bernardo Silva, who cut back for Sterling to strike into the net.
"I told him not to do it again", Guardiola said.
It was third-placed Tottenham's fourth successive league win without injured top-scorer Harry Kane. It's now four out of four in the league without the team's top scorer.
Davison Sanchez headed in Tottenham's opener in the 33rd from Christian Eriksen's corner.
Pochettino's side took the lead through Davinson Sanchez's first goal for the club, but they were indebted to Hugo Lloris for saving Jamie Vardy's spot-kick after the interval at Wembley. But on the hour, Leicester was awarded a penalty when defender Jan Vertonghen knocked over James Maddison.


Plastic tanks made by rotational molding are made in a single seamless piece without stress. These tanks are ideal for storing chemicals. Matching a tank with the liquid to be stored is just a matter of 1) matching the chemical compatibility of the liquid, 2) matching the specific gravity rating of the tank with the density of the liquid and, 3) checking to be sure that the plastic is able to handle the maximum and minimum temperatures involved in storing the chemical.
Rotational molding is a form of plastic molding that produces hollow parts. Specific amounts of plastic resin powder are put in metal molds that are then rotated in an over on two axis. As the plastic melts, it coasts the inner surface of the mold in an even thickness. Once all the plastic is melted and distributed on the inside of the mold, the mold is removed from the oven to cool. While cooling, it continues to rotate on two axis. The resulting part, after cooling, is formed as a single piece of hollow plastic. It is formed without the stress that is often built into plastic parts made from other types of molding. This is ideal for plastic storage tanks.
Several types of plastic can be rotationally molded. These types of plastic include Polyethylene (usually HDPE), Polypropylene, Nylon and PVDF. The best known brand name of PVDF is Kynar. Each kind of plastic has different chemical resistance and temperature tolerances. Those factors and the difference in price of the various plastics are the reasons why you might choose a plastic tank made from one resin instead of another.


This drops from Heigan, the 2nd boss located in the Plague Wing of Naxx 10.
These are the Heroes' Bonescythe bracers.
As a mutilate rogue the Dragonfriend bracer's are much better because of the higher Ap and Crit rate.
According to SimulationCraft and Lookrank, these are the best DPS feral wrists you can get in 10-man before Ulduar in 3.1.

Scientists must be free to learn, to speak and to challenge
William McRae
"Science is humanity's best effort at uncovering the truth about our world, about our very existence." Kirsty Duncan, Canada's Minister of Science, makes the case that researchers must be free to present uncomfortable truths and challenge the thinking of the day -- and that we all have a duty to speak up when we see science being stifled or suppressed. #ScienceAroundMe

The Embassy of France in Greece symbolically honours METAdrasi's president, on the occasion of the International Women's Day
METAdrasi's team expresses its pride for the special honour that the Embassy of France in Greece bestowed on our founder and president Lora Pappa, on the occasion of the International Women's Day (March 8th). Her portrait was chosen to be exhibited outside the Embassy in Athens, along with the portraits of three other Greek women and four French women who, through their work and their stance on life, promote the rights of all women.
We, who spend our lives next to her, know how approachable she is, we know her perseverance, passion and immediacy. She is a source of inspiration for us and gives us strength to continue to fight for equality, integrity and solidarity. We warmly thank the Embassy of France for this symbolic honour to our president.

Fun soccer and soccer management game
Soccer managment games are generally meant to let you manage a team. What about focusing on a player career? Player of the year gives you this possibility! The game is not a conventional football manager and has some diverse elements to the gameplay. The game can not only be played as the football manager but also as the player to get into real action. As a player, you target will be to go from division 3 to the premier league to establish yourself as the player of the year and make the team win matches. You will put yourself on trade and will run the team to which you sell yourself. It also a tactical scope to it because you need to be careful about which player you buy. As the manager, you will perform the key functions of the manager and will not take part in the action. Trade and train players, manage the operations and finances of the team and do many other things. Both the season mode and the campaign mode are very good and diverse and the interface is very simple and allows you to exercise all the options easily. The graphics are very well defined in terms of the character modelling, the stadium modelling and the backgrounds. The Controls run smooth and are responsive for some good action. Microsoft Soccer seems to have the same level of fun but both are underrated games.

Country surfer comes to town

Troy Cassar-Daley is getting itchy feet. Among other things, it's time to start surfing again.
The Brisbane-based singer recently played a show in Byron Bay and said the town spoke to him strongly and since then thoughts of relocating there haven't stopped chattering in his head.
"I played the Bluesfest and fell in love all over again," says the Maltese-Aboriginal country singer, songwriter and guitarist about the pull of the land. "I also realised how much I missed surfing. Plus I want to get back to a place with not as many cars."
So while Cassar-Daley and his radio presenter wife, Laurel Edwards, continue to discuss whether to move their family south, he's heading out on the road. The singer returns to Perth this month for a series of acoustic shows in a trio format, with keyboard and bass. Considering them storytelling shows, Cassar-Daley hopes to give audiences a glimpse into his songwriting world in between playing.
"When I pick up a guitar or sing, it feels country to me," he says. "That always brings me back. You have to be strong enough in your style to make sure you do what you do and bring the songs back to what it wants to be."
He says a well-told story about a song often paints a memorable picture around it, plus it's usually the story which people remember when requesting their favourite song at a show or when they want to buy an album after seeing him live.
Speaking of albums, earlier this year Cassar-Daley added another six Golden Guitars to his collection thanks to his ARIA- winning album I Love This Place.
"It's crazy. I look at them and think it's pretty surreal," he confesses of his now 20-strong stash.
The wins were made even sweeter because he co-produced I Love This Place: "If it's a record close to you, it's nice to be able to do that. You feel like you can splash some paint around the canvas yourself."
When the writer presented his demos to Rod McCormack, the veteran country producer said they already sounded like Cassar-Daley was in the producer's seat. So his suggestion of co-producing was readily accepted.
"I realised I had something to say as an artist and a producer as well," he says. "I had opened my mind up and I felt really synched into this record."
The tone of the record was set when the singer and his wife were horseriding one afternoon and she dared him to write a totally positive record. While accepting the dare, it really just cemented the direction Cassar-Daley was already heading in.
Troy Cassar-Daley plays Friends Restaurant on May 27, Ravenswood Hotel on May 28, Divers Tavern, Broome, on May 29 and the Pace Road Tavern, Medina, on May 30. Tickets from the venues.

The Sevenhugs Smart Remote magically adapts to control whatever device it's pointed at
Okay, it's not really magic. The remote relies on an indoor positioning system to know where it is, and the devices you'd have it control are located within the room. And that's cool.
By Michael Brown
Universal remotes have been around in one form or another for decades. Harmony introduced the first one that could be easily reprogrammed via the internet back in 2001. Sevenhugs CEO Simon Tchedikian says his company has come up with an even better idea: A universal remote that automatically configures itself to control whatever device you point it at, whether it's a smart TV, a smart light bulb, or a connected speaker.
"The Smart Remote is for anyone who lives in a smart home," Tchedikian said during a recent demo. "You might be able to control all your devices with your smartphone, but your kids don't have a smartphone. Your wife does, but she hasn't kept up with all the apps needed to control everything. With the Smart Remote, you just point at the device you want to control, and the remote's touchscreen will display the appropriate user interface to control it." Haptic feedback will help you master the remote.
Sevenhugs
Point the Smart Remote at a smart light bulb, and it instantly becomes a smart light bulb controller.
The Smart Remote can do other things, too. You could set it up so that when you point it at the window, it displays a weather forecast. Or if you point it at the door, it could call an Uber for you, displaying the fare and the driver's ETA after you've placed the order.
Motion and indoor positioning sensors are what makes this magic possible. When you set up the remote for the first time, you'll place three sensors inside the room you'll use it. The Smart Remote then determines its location in the room by using the three sensors to triangulate. Once you've done that, you teach the remote where the things that you want to control are located by setting the remote next them and pushing the "locate" button. Tchedikian says the Smart Remote can determine where it's located in the room within five to forty centimeters of precision.
The Smart Remote already works with more than 25,000 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and infrared devices, according to Tchedikian. That list includes Samsung Smart TVs, Philips Hue and LIFX smart bulbs, Sonos speakers, and the Nest Learning Thermostat. It will also communicate with smart-home hubs, such as Wink and SmartThings, and you'll be able to create IFTTT recipes. Sevenhugs has developed an open API to make it easy for other manufacturers to support the Smart Remote, and an SDK (software developers' kit) is available for programmers interested in expanding its features and services.
You'll be able to link the Smart Remote to online services such as Uber, in addition to hardware devices.
A button on its charging cradle will trigger the Smart Remote to emit a locate tone if it gets lost in the couch cushions or if it's left in a room where it doesn't belong. And that leads me to the Smart Remote's greatest weakness, which you've probably already figured out unless you live in a studio apartment: It only works in one room, because it can only operate in line of sight of the three sensors it uses to triangulate its location. While it's outside of that room, it has no idea where it or the devices you want it to control are located.
Replace or supplement voice control?
When I reacted with some skepticism as to how useful the Smart Remote would be given that limitation, Tchedikian replied "You have the same restriction with voice [control], unless you have multiple microphones." And that's why I recently deployed a half-dozen Echo Dots in my house, so that I can control the lighting and other devices that are part of my Vivint smart-home system from virtually any room I happen to be in.
"The advantage over voice control is the [Smart Remote's] display," Tchedikian added. Indeed, I do find myself using voice commands primarily for lighting control; I still rely on the buttons on my Harmony Elite universal remote, because pushing purpose-built buttons is more efficient than asking Alexa to do everything, even if I do have to reach for the remote.
Sevenhugs doesn't plan to ship its Smart Remote until June 2017, when it will be priced at $299. Tchedikian said the company already has the money it needs to bring the product to market, but it launched today's Kickstarter campaign to drive awareness and develop a community around the product. To that end, limited numbers of backers will be able to order a Smart Remote for $99, $129, $149, or $199, depending on how early they sign up, for the duration of the campaign.

John Kelly says the vast majority of unauthorized immigrants 'don't have skills' and can't 'easily assimilate'
Michelle Mark
President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff John Kelly arrives for a first lady Melania Trump initiative event in the Rose Garden of the White House, Monday, May 7, 2018, in Washington.
Associated Press/Andrew Harnik
John Kelly, President Donald Trump's chief of staff, told NPR that unauthorized immigrants would not "easily assimilate into the United States."
He also addressed the Trump administration's new "zero-tolerance" policy that would likely separate thousands of immigrant parents from their children.
Kelly also said he supported a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the US under temporary protected status.
White House chief of staff John Kelly addressed the Trump administration's recently announced practice of separating immigrant families who cross the border illegally, telling NPR in an interview that such immigrants would not "easily assimilate into the United States."
Kelly acknowledged that the vast majority of people illegally crossing the border are neither criminals nor members of the MS-13 street gang that has proliferated in certain parts of the country. But he added that they would nevertheless have trouble integrating into modern American life.
"They're overwhelmingly rural people. In the countries they come from, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English — obviously that's the big thing," Kelly said. "They don't integrate well — they don't have skills."
Recent research, however, has shown that Latin American immigrants assimilate no less quickly than other groups — and they even learn English at a faster rate. Critics have also pointed out that many Americans today are the descendants of immigrants who were also considered "rural" or low-skilled when they first came to the US, such as Italian and Irish immigrants.
Kelly's comments came after the Trump administration announced a new "zero-tolerance" policy regarding immigrants caught crossing the border illegally. Rather than placing them into civil deportation proceedings, as has been the custom, the Trump administration intends to criminally prosecute 100% of the cases.
The new policy has drawn significant backlash from immigrant rights groups, because criminal proceedings would require parents to be separated from their children while they are detained, as is the case for American citizens.
"If you cross the Southwest border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. It's that simple," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a speech Tuesday. "If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law. If you don't like that, then don't smuggle children over our border."
Kelly said in his NPR interview that he knew the immigrants were not "bad people" and that he sympathized with the reasons they opted to cross the border illegally.
"But the laws are the laws," he said. "The big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States, and this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long."
'I can't pick and choose what laws to enforce'

Kelly also said he would support a pathway to citizenship for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in the US under temporary protected status, many of them from Central American countries or Haiti, where conflict or natural disasters prompted many residents to flee.
"I think we should fold all of the TPS people that have been here for a considerable period of time and find a way for them to be on a path to citizenship," Kelly said.
Over the last year and a half, the Trump administration has begun eliminating TPS status for immigrants whose home countries it deems are sufficiently recovered from their original conditions.
But Kelly acknowledged that expelling those immigrants from the US was a challenge, particularly for those who have been living in the US for decades and who are deeply rooted to the country through career and family ties. He added that it's up to Congress to find a way to protect those immigrants.
"I mean, I can't tell you the number of times in my hearings when they would ask me about why we're doing this, so what is your philosophy on immigration or whatever," Kelly said. "I just said, 'Look, you make the laws. I execute the laws.' I can't pick and choose what laws to enforce. I would be, I should be thrown out of the job if I do that."

Thomas Barker creates photographs as a means of communication; to begin a dialogue with others as well as himself. His intention is to introduce imagery whose value can only be fully realized through the perception of the viewer. Giving voice to his own stories, while being cognizant of the stories the audience brings, his photographs transcend intellectual images of the world to include the observer as a participant. It is in this interaction that the image creates stories of life, intrigue and passion; bringing about questions of our values, esthetics, and what it means to be a participant in life.
By the time he was forty he had volumes of negatives and no prints. For him, it didn't really matter, it was the making of the image that was important. He studied design, painting and photography at Pratt Institute and The University of New Mexico.
It is only now that his eye, the camera, and his existence have become one that he is willing to let others see, sometimes literally, completely unprotected and naked.

Q: Cannot access BIOS after installing Linux Since I installed Linux on my old laptop, I cannot access the BIOS menu. I have tried fwsetup but I just get a message saying:

Could not set EFI variable 'OsIndications'.

I have also tried booting into Windows, holding shift and pressing restart and then once on the recovery screen, selecting Troubleshoot -> Advanced Options -> UEFI Firmware Settings and clicking restart. That just says:

There was a problem. Restart your PC to try again. It looks like something didn't load correctly. Restarting might fix the problem. If
this happens more than once, you might be able to find help by
searching online for the specific error code. Error code:
800704d3.

I have tried spamming lots of different keys on startup, including Escape, F1, F2, F3, F4, F12, delete and shift. None of them work. I used to be able to get into the bios fine before I installed Linux. I have installed Linux on 2 other laptops without any issues but its just this one that doesn't want to go into the BIOS anymore. I have since (accidentally) uninstalled Linux when I tried to resize my Windows partition with a tool which wiped out my Linux partitions. On boot, it takes me to a grub prompt (not grub rescue) that says:

Minimal BASH-like editing is supported.

at which point I type exit which gives me a prompt to choose a boot device, where I can boot to Windows Boot Manager just fine but USB devices don't work. To boot to USB, I have to plug the USB stick in, boot the computer, type exit and press enter, then select the USB device option which takes me back into the GRUB prompt again, where I type (for example) chainloader (hd0,msdos2)/efi/boot/grubx64.efi and then boot and it boots to USB just fine.
I had a quad boot (Ubuntu MATE (forgot which version, it was a few years ago), Linux Mint, Windows 8 (as that's what came with the laptop) and Windows 10) until a partition manager deleted the Linux partitions. It was a UEFI install. It is an Acer Aspire V11 Touch and a quick google search said the bios key was F2, which didn't work. I also tried multiple other keys which also didn't work. I noticed that if I hold escape and function on boot, it keeps turning on and off. Don't know if that's a GRUB thing or what. Sometimes if I spam potential BIOS keys while turning it on, the backlight turns on, off, and then back on. I have tried sudo systemctl reboot --firmware on an Ubuntu 18.04 Live USB and I just get a new line on the terminal and nothing happens, it just sits there until I cancel it with CTRL + C.
I just want to be able to get into my BIOS setup which I haven't been able to do since I installed Linux and GRUB.

A: This is a known issue on Ubuntu
Reference Link
Known issues
As is to be expected, with any release, there are some significant known bugs that users may run into with this release of Ubuntu 17.10. The ones we know about at this point (and some of the workarounds), are documented here so you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:
Incompatibility with BIOS in certain Lenovo, Acer systems
A bug in the Linux 4.13 kernel shipped in Ubuntu 17.10 can leave users unable to update any of their BIOS settings, including their system's boot order, after booting this version of Ubuntu.
A kernel with a fix for this issue will be available in zesty-updates shortly, but, the Ubuntu 17.10 installer images still contain the kernel with this bug. Users with affected systems should not upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 or boot an Ubuntu 17.10 installer image until this issue as resolved. Doing so may result in your computer requiring professional servicing in order to restore BIOS functionality.
A full list of known affected models can be found in 1734147.
If you have already installed Ubuntu 17.10 on an affected system, you may not immediately notice this problem because Ubuntu will continue to boot from disk. To verify whether your system has been affected by this bug, create a USB stick with the Ubuntu 16.04 desktop image and try to boot it. If you are able to boot it, your system has most likely not been impacted by this bug.

A: After 4/5 years of having the issue, I finally fixed it. Thanks to David Kariuki for informing me of the Ubuntu bug report.
I was going to swap out the hard drive temporarily and install Ubuntu 17.10 back onto it so I could install the fix, however that would not work as I could not USB boot from the installer unless I had the GRUB prompt left over from a previous install. Instead, I used a VM on a different computer and installed Ubuntu 17.10 onto an external USB HDD. I then plugged the external drive into the laptop and performed the following GRUB commands in order to USB boot:

*

*exit (bringing me to the BIOS boot selection screen), then Enter to choose the (non-existent) "Ubuntu" boot. I will now be back in the GRUB prompt as it failed to boot into the missing Ubuntu entry.

*exit again, which automatically tries booting into the "Ubuntu" entry again and it fails, kicking me back into the GRUB prompt, at which point USB support is enabled for some reason…

*insmod part_msdos

*insmod chain

*set root=(hd0,gpt1) (I think it was this partition, not 100% though)

*chainloader /efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi

*boot
Now, I was booted into Ubuntu 17.10 and I could simply install the patched kernel linked in the Ubuntu bug page. In my case, the first one didn't work but the second one did. After installing each kernel, I rebooted the machine and shut it down again after boot. Then, I turned on the laptop and tried entering BIOS with f2. After installing the second kernel and rebooting once, I could enter the BIOS settings as normal. It also caused the computer to boot straight into the installed Windows 10 instead of to the GRUB prompt first.
