Q: Comparing two array of objects I am trying to compare two array of objects. Below is my code.
var result = identical([
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"},
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}}
], [
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}},
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"}
]);

console.log(result); // returns false

function identical(a, b) {
    function sort(object) {
      if (typeof object !== "object" || object === null) {
            return object;
        }
        return Object.keys(object).sort().map(function (key) {
            return {
                key: key,
                value: sort(object[key])
            };
        });
    }

    return JSON.stringify(sort(a)) === JSON.stringify(sort(b));
};

I want to know why I am getting result as false while comparing the above two array of objects.
If I pass the below object, the result is true
var result = identical([
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}},
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"}
], [
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}},
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"}
]);

How to compare based on keys alone and without seeing the order of objects ?

A: One of the solutions I found, is to define a function to test the equality of the objects, and then you need to call that function for each element on the array. this code works fine for me:
Object.prototype.equals = function(x) {
        for(p in this) {
            switch(typeof(this[p])) {
                    case 'object':
                            if (!this[p].equals(x[p])) { return false }; break;
                    case 'function':
                            if (typeof(x[p])=='undefined' || (p != 'equals' && this[p].toString() != x[p].toString())) { return false; }; break;
                    default:
                            if (this[p] != x[p]) { return false; }
            }
        }
        for(p in x) {
            if(typeof(this[p])=='undefined') {return false;}
        }

        return true;
    }

Source : Object comparison in JavaScript
    function identical (arr1, arr2) {

        if(arr1.length != arr2.length) {
            return false;
        }

        var exists = arr1.length;
        for(var i = 0; i<arr1.length; i++) {
            for(var j =0; j<arr2.length ; j++) {
                if(Object.keys(arr1[i]).equals(Object.keys(arr2[j]))) {
                   exists--;
                }
            }
        }

        return !exists;
    }

Now the result of this code is true
var result = identical([
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}},
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"}
], [
    {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "contactno": {"ph": 12345, "mob": 485428428}},
    {"depid": "100", "depname": ""},
    {"city": "abc", "state": "xyz"}
]);

Edit :
To compare only keys, you need to use :
Object.keys(arr1[i]).equals(Object.keys(arr2[j])

instead of
arr1[i].equals(arr2[j])

I made the update on the code above.

A: While serializing objects to string the keys aren't guaranteed to be in same order. To compare irrespective of order check this Comparing two json arrays

A: It fails because a is an array, so sort(a) sorts a with respect to the array indexes. You can try:
 var l = ['a','b'];
 alert(Object.keys(l));

it shows:
0,1

So sort(a) sorts don't put the objects inside in a meaningful order. It does not even care about what is in the array.
It you want to compare arrays of objects, I would suggest to use your function sort on each object of the array, then jsonify each object in the array, then sort the array of strings and compare the two resulting sorted arrays of strings.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp launches April 8, according to eShop
Jeff Grubb@jeffgrubb
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp has a new release date.
Image Credit: Nintendo
Nintendo has added a new release date for Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp on the Nintendo Switch's eShop store. When you look the game up on a Switch, the service now says the turn-based tactical adventure will debut April 8. This is in line with the delay that pushed the release from December into "spring 2022."
On Nintendo's website, it still says that Advance Wars is coming in spring. And the company has yet to confirm this date in any press release or social media post. Regardless, you can still preorder the game for $60 right now.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a remake of the Game Boy Advance games. The 2001 Advance Wars was the first time Nintendo released its Famicom Wars series in North America. And the game found an audience for its military-tactics action. Since then, Nintendo has seen even more success for the Advance Wars sister series, Fire Emblem, and developer Intelligent Systems has focused on that fantasy-tactics franchise instead.
During its E3 presentation in June, however, Nintendo revealed the return of Advance Wars in the form of this remake. Shantae developer WayForward is handling development. And instead of just remastering the first Advance Wars, the studio is rebuilding the first two games with updated mechanics and upgraded artwork.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is part of a stacked 2022 lineup for Nintendo. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Triangle Strategy, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, Splatoon 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 could all launch next year — in addition to Advance Wars.

Playlist: 15 Boon Bangers for Shiiine
Firing on all cylinders as they blast back into public consciousness, Starsailor have revealed another track from their upcoming album All This Life, which is set for release on September 1st via Cooking Vinyl.
One of the most upbeat tracks from the album, both lyrically and musically, 'Take A Little Time' bounces with a pulsing bass groove and driving funk beat, featuring glimmering guitars and vocals that glide into soaring falsetto, invoking a joyous message about staying true to yourself.
Lead singer James Walsh comments, "'Take a Little Time' is a departure from the heavier, more emotional moments on the album. It's about letting go once in a while & taking some time to yourself, and to just be yourself. We wanted the rhythm and energy of the song to reflect the uplifting message of the lyrics".
The track follows the release of the album's title track single 'All This Life' as well as the introductory 'Listen To Your Heart'.
All This Life is the band's fifth studio album and their first release since 2009, showcasing Starsailor as a reborn and re-energised band, making outstanding music which will delight their existing fans and inspire a whole new generation to fall in love with them.
The album will be released on Digital, CD and vinyl LP (standard 12" and limited edition coloured 12") formats. Signed and exclusive bundles are also available from the Official Starsailor Store HERE.

Checking in on Lines at NYC's COVID Test Sites as Infection Numbers Rise
Author By City Limits
More on COVID-19
Subscribe to COVID-19
It's not clear yet if the December holidays will draw same test-line crowds that Thanksgiving did: An average of 48,380 New Yorkers got molecular coronavirus tests on Dec. 14, the most recent date for which city data is available, well below the high of 58,243 people who were tested on Nov. 24.
Outside a COVID-19 testing site on the corner of Jerome Avenue
and Gun Hill Road in the Bronx, from 2:35 to 3:35 p.m. on Dec. 11. // Adi Talwar
At around 3 p.m. on Monday, the streets of City Island were quiet and the sidewalks all but empty—except for the stretch of City Island Avenue near Hawkins Street. On a summer afternoon, that block might be lined with people waiting to get a cone or cup from Lickety Split, an ice cream stand and City Island institution. But this week the line of 25 people, waiting in the cold rain, was for COVID testing. The tent and van that had pulled up alongside Hawkins Park was part of a testing spree on the island that began the previous week and stretched over the weekend, following a spike in cases there that briefly sent the neighborhood's positivity rate to over 10 percent, one of the highest in the city.
"A lot of people don't wear masks around here and they got together and they got sick," was Dan Trieber's matter-of-fact take on Friday. He's a City Island lifer who operates a vintage toy store out of his childhood home on City Island Avenue; it's where the island's community fridge is (and will remain, Trieber vows, even if some neighbor did call in a complaint to the city about it being contrary to code). "Everybody got together for Thanksgiving," he said.
As infection rates rise citywide, New Yorkers are lining up in the cold for coronavirus tests, some for hours at a time. Some of these scenes are reminiscent of last month, when residents rushed to get tests ahead of Thanksgiving, prompting the city to open more than two dozen new testing locations and begin posting wait times online. It's not clear yet if the December holidays will draw quite the same level of test-line crowds: An average of 48,380 New Yorkers got molecular coronavirus tests on Dec. 14, the most recent date for which city data is available, well below the high of 58,243 people who were tested on Nov. 24.

The line at the CityMD location on 31st Street in Astoria around noon on Dec. 16.
City Limits visited several testing sites this week and found some locations with hours-long waits, while others had modest or barely-there crowds. In the Bronx's Norwood neighborhood at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, four people stood outside the door to the testing area at North Central Bronx Hospital. Some of the dozen or so people spaced around the lobby appeared to be waiting for testing, too. Among those in line was Andre, who was waiting to get tested for his fourth time. The first was in April when a colleague at work tested positive. That last time was in late August or early September, when he wanted to get cleared to travel to his native Jamaica. Now, he's planning a trip there again, to celebrate his birthday.
Is he worried about having COVID-19? No, he says. But he's quick to add, "I'm not saying I'm going to be careless. I'm just not really worried." That's true as well for traveling on a plane, as he will soon do. "It's all in how you carry yourself," he says. He shows off the sanitizer he carries, and says he brings disinfecting wipes on the planes as well. "To each their own."
Over in Wakefield, there was barely a line at 4101 White Plains Road, the offices of Community Board 12. The board's offices are closed, but down a side street is the entrance to the testing center. The worker at the door made sure to keep the number of people in the lobby to a minimum, so one of two people waited outside for a few moments, but their turn came soon.
Outside the RAIN Senior Center on Boston Road down in Allerton, there were lines of white paint all the way up the concrete ramp to the door where a stand of hand sanitizer and a cheery oak-tag sign announced the COVID testing facility. But no one was on the ramp, or even inside the waiting room inside the door.
A worker who came out for a smoke break put her Newport back in its box and headed back to the door when she thought she saw a new patient coming. She told City Limits that it was not normally quite so crowded; it had been crowded that morning. But crowded enough that people would be lined up down to the sidewalk? "No," she said. "Never."
In Queens and Brooklyn, several CityMD locations—which offer free COVID tests through a partnership with the city—drew larger crowds this week, including the clinic on 87th Street and 4th Avenue in Bay Ridge, where nearly two dozen people waited in line around 2 p.m. Tuesday.
A similar number of people were lined up around noon the next day at the CityMD on 31st Street and Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria, some of them hopping up and down to stay warm in the cold. Among them was Alena Clavijo, who said she'd been waiting for two hours so far. The line had been long all day, and she'd come expecting a wait based on her previous experiences getting tested in the city.
"It's always a long line," said the Astoria resident.
Another CityMD location in the neighborhood, at 31-11 Steinway St., had a different system in place, signing up those who arrived and assigning them a specific time to come back that day and get tested. By around 3 p.m. Tuesday, all of the day's testing slots had already been filled. A staffer advised people to come back early the next day—around 7 a.m., if possible—to secure a spot. On Wednesday, all of the appointments were once again filled by the time a City Limits reporter called to inquire, around 11:30 a.m.
"There is definitely an increase," one staffer at the site said, saying the location was testing an average of 400 patients per day.
Nicole Javorsky
The line at the Bay Ridge CityMD clinic around 2 p.m. on Dec. 15.
On Friday, wait times at the city's Health + Hospitals testing sites were similarly hit or miss: The testing site at the Highbridge Pool was reporting a more than two-hour wait as of 2 p.m., 11 other sites were reporting lines of at least an hour and five other sites reported no wait at all.
City officials continue to encourage New Yorkers to get tested frequently as part of its efforts to contain the spread of the virus. The city reported 2,805 new confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases on Friday, a number Mayor Bill de Blasio described as "through the roof," while the 7-day positivity rate was just over 6 percent, which he called "way too high."
"We all are dealing with a real challenge, as our indicators make clear, and we all need to focus on wearing masks, on social distancing, avoiding gatherings, not having big family gatherings, not traveling—all of this matters," he said.

Des dels inicis de la distribució comercial de programari, la presència del català als programes informàtics havia estat molt minsa.

El 1998, la Generalitat de Catalunya, per tal de donar un impuls al català creà la llei de política lingüística de dia 7 de gener d'aquell any, en què s'insta el govern a afavorir la producció i comercialització de productes informàtics en català. Arran d'aquesta llei, subvencionà amb 80 milions de pessetes Microsoft per tal que traduís el seu sistema operatiu Windows 98 al català, una mesura que fou criticada per la comunitat catalana del programari lliure liderada per Softcatalà que ja havia iniciat la traducció col·laborativa de programari de codi obert. El 2001, el Termcat signà un conveni de col·laboració amb Softcatalà per prestar suport terminològic a aquestes traduccions de programari.

Durant els primers anys del , s'ha viscut un clar increment de la presència del català als programes informàtics. Actualment, la major part dels sistemes operatius (tant el GNU/Linux, com el Windows com el Mac OS) tenen la majoria de funcions traduïdes al català. Pel que fa a dispositius mòbils, tant Android com iOS tenen l'opció del català. El català també és present a molts d'altres programes com ara paquets ofimàtica (LibreOffice o Microsoft Office) i navegadors web (Mozilla Firefox o Microsoft Edge). També és present en aplicacions per a mòbils com Twitter o Facebook.

Padraig Pearse. Irish Patriot.
Patrick Henry Pearse.
Born: November 10, 1879 in Dublin
Died: May 3, 1916 in Dublin
Patrick Henry Pearse (Padraig MacPiarais) is known as an Irish patriot, scholar, teacher and poet. He was a student of literature and history and wanted to free Ireland from the rule of the British. In 1908, he established St. Edna's College to educate young Irish citizens about Irish customs, language, and beliefs. Pearse was a key figure in organizing the Easter Rising. He had been an active member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and was named an affiliate of its Supreme Council. He wrote a number of position papers and poems to express his intellectual and emotional feelings about the pursuit of Irish freedom. Perhaps the most memorable of these is "Mise Éire":
"Mise Éire" (in Irish first)
Mise Éire
Sine mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra.
Mór mo ghlóir:
Mé a rug Cúchulainn croga.
Mór mo náir:
Mo chlann féin a dhíol a máthair.
Mise Éire:
Uaigni mé ná an Chailleach Bhéarra.
"I am Ireland"
I am Ireland:
I am older than the Old Woman of Beare.
Great my glory:
I that bore Cuchulainn the valiant.
Great my shame:
My own children that sold their mother.
I am lonelier than the Old Woman of Beare.
In this poem Pearse describes Ireland's struggle using familiar themes. He sees Ireland as an old woman who once experienced the glory of having a son who stood against the invader. He was the mythical warrior Cú Chulainn who even when mortally wounded strapped himself to a rock in order to remain standing and continued to fight. However, the old woman also experienced shame as she sees her children sell her to the invaders, a story as old as Ireland herself. Our history is rife with tales of betrayal from within our own ranks.
Pearse hopes to rouse nationalist feelings by drawing on mythology and the concept of Ireland as a defenceless old woman. Pearse, by including her in Mise Eire introduces a feeling of bitterness, something that you see more and more off as you read his poetry but it is also rich in symbolism as he also uses the figure of Cú Chulainn, the archetypal Celtic war hero, as symbolic of the kind of figure that a faltering Irish culture needed to resist the occupying influences, to restore the traditional values of Irish life which Pearse would once again have experienced in Connemara.
Interestingly, the figure of Cú Chulainn was eventually used to commemorate the Easter Rising both in a statute in the Dublin GPO and on the old Irish ten shilling coin (in 1966). Mise Eire is a sad poem, raising as it does many different feelings in the reader. A story of an old mother deserted and sold to Britain who laments her loneliness.
From the cradle to the grave.
There is also a certain irony in Pearse's life. It is as if An Chailleach Bhéarra, the old hag of mythology has reached out from the mist of time and placed a hand upon his shoulder. Perhaps on Nov. 10, 1879, at 27 Great Brunswick St., Dublin, as the mother and father looked down at their newborn son, they had an idea of what his future held. That may explain why they named him Patrick Henry Pearse. Their son would grow to be the embodiment of the words of the American patriot Patrick Henry, who said in the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775: "I know not what course others might take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" These words would have been an appropriate epitaph on the gravestone of Pearse, the leader of the Easter Rising 1916. The final irony for Pearse was that his father was a stonemason and Patrick Henry Pearse was to end his life in the stone breakers yard of Kilmainham Prison.
The lower image is of the stone breakers yard where Pardraig Pearse was executed.

Hi Heron
Great minds think alike (nothing like blowing yer own trumpet). Perhaps Pearse was more than a great patriot maybe he was also a great prophet who forsaw Ireland's betrayal to outside influence. Perhaps Shell/Corrib gas fields of North mayo, Swiss forestry companies etc etc. Plus internal awards to civil servants who take early retirement and then get short term govenment contracts while cutting social welfare to the most vulnerable.

W.B.Yeats. Father of The Celtic Revival.
The Dearg-due.
The Reed. October 28th - November 24th.


From an early age, JC Commercial Realty founder, JC Conte, has been dedicated to family and community. A South Florida native and the third of four children born to Cuban immigrants, Mr. Conte writes and speaks fluent English and Spanish. Mr. Conte is a Key Biscayne-Miami native and helped his father Rafael Conte, Sr. become the first Mayor of the Village of Key Biscayne after their incorporation in 1992.
He is an alumnus of the University of Florida where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1988. While at the University, Mr. Conte was a co-publisher for the Journal of Applied Physiology and researched cycling on behalf of the United States Olympic Committee.
With a passion for sports, he and his roommate, Tom Cerny, co-founded the University of Florida's Bicycle Racing Team, Team Florida, where Mr. Conte served as captain, treasurer, and fundraiser while simultaneously competing with his teammates in regional collegiate bicycle races. JC also worked long hours at Domino's Pizza as an Assistant Manager and Deliveryman to pay for all of his own college expenses.
Mr. Conte believes the foundation for success lies in working very hard, very smart and leveraging technology to be as productive as possible. Immediately upon graduation, The Willix Health Institute in Fort Lauderdale, hired JC to work as an Exercise Physiologist. He passionately rehabilitated, trained, and instructed athletes and cardiac patients in the areas of nutrition, diet planning, exercise, and physical therapy modalities. This work experience lead to a position at the South Miami Hospital Health and Wellness Center. After two years at South Miami Hospital, Mr. Conte decided it was time to start his own business and formed Perfect Fit Health and Nutritional Services which catered to high net worth individuals in the Miami Beach community.
With a growing family and the encouragement of several Perfect Fit clients, it was time to take on a new business challenge. In the summer of 1996, Mr. Conte put his business experience, drive, and entrepreneurial spirit to the ultimate test and embarked on a new career path in the commercial real estate industry. While retaining a few Perfect Fit Clients, JC transitioned into the commercial real estate business by joining the highly-recognized Doral firm of Easton-Babcock, now Easton & Associates. After 24 months of learning the basics of the business, JC joined the world's leading commercial real estate brokerage firm of CB Richard Ellis (CBRE – NYSE: CBG) and quickly earned the title of Vice President.
After many years at CBRE, the Rogers Staubach Company recruited Mr. Conte and his team to be their local partners. Mr. Conte operated as Principal & Director of Industrial Services for South Florida. In November 2008, NYSE Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) merged with The Staubach Company. Mr. Conte remained in his leadership role at Jones Lang LaSalle for two years when he decided to to start his own Corporate Real Estate services firm, JC Commercial Realty on July 4, 2010 (Independence Day!).
For more than eight years now, JC Commercial Realty has been providing its clients with exceptional corporate real estate services in the areas of Corportate HQ Relocation, Tenant Representation, Buyer Representation, Building Sales, Investment Sales, and Landlord Leasing. Serving Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach, Mr. Conte has enjoyed being an integral part of both publicly-traded and privately-held companies' strategic real estate planning. JC Commercial Realty just celebrated its 8th year in business and Mr. Conte's 23rd year in providing Gold Standard Corporate Real Estate Services to his clients.
Mr. Conte is an active member of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) and has received the CoStar Power Broker Award every year since 2006. He is an active real estate broker in Florida and the broker of record for the firm. JC has been happily married to his wife, Grace, for over 25 years.

Almost nothing incinerates in me that odd, albeit infrequent, mood of reticence more thoroughly than a ring-tailed lemur perching gamely on my shoulder.
To be sure, this was not how I expected my day to unfold when I grabbed my camera and headed out to the Magnetic Hill Zoo in the outer burbs of Moncton. My job was routine enough: Snap a few pics of the establishment's manager, Bruce Dougan, for a magazine piece I had been writing.
Mr. Dougan, a burly man with an Arctic fringe of beard and a safari leader's comportment, is a born showman. He has to be. Without an effective promoter at the helm, a zoo can become as endangered as many of the wild animals they house.
So, it really shouldn't have surprised me when he led me into the lemur cage to pose with a handful of friendly, inquisitive primates. Suddenly, the joint was bustling with dozens of the human variety, their noses pressed against the chain-link fence, delighted to watch the photog struggle to regain control of his camera from the creature attached to his forearms.
I am a little embarrassed to admit that in the 20 years I've lived in Moncton I've only been to the zoo three times – two of those occasions within the past month (once with one set of grandkids; the other on the aforementioned photo assignment). Frankly, I really haven't known what I've been missing.
On one of my trips, the line of young families and old folks waiting patiently for admittance stretched all the way to the far end of the parking lot. A recent CBC story provided the context when it reported in June that "The Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton is opening a $1.4-million exhibit that will showcase three big cats. Visitors will be treated to a new exhibit featuring two Amur Tigers – Alik and Anya – and a leopard, named Katushka.
Protecting endangered species – or at least raising awareness of them – appears to be in the zoo's organizational DNA.

Found: A Rare Bodysnatching Fungus
The Powdercap Strangler is no joke.
by Sarah Laskow October 31, 2017
The orange stem belongs to the original mushroom; the grey head to the bodysnatching parasite. National Trust
The Earthy Powdercap Mushroom was minding its own business, living out a perfectly good mushroom life in Clumber Park, a pleasant, woodsy spot in Nottinghamshire, England. But it was in danger. A rare fungus was taking over—until, like a sci-fi alien erupting from a human chest, the bodysnatching fungus burst from the mushroom's head.
These perfectly nice Powdercap mushrooms became victims of Squamanita paradoxa, the Powdercap Strangler, the Nottingham Post reports.
The Powdercap Strangler is a shadowy character. First discovered in 1948, in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest, the Strangler is rarely seen. It rears its actually pretty ugly head in parts of the U.S., Canada, and Europe, but everywhere it's found, it's an unusual sight. In the U.K., it's only been found 23 times.
These particular Stranglers were found during a foraging expedition in the park, and identified by the British Mycological Association. The species was also seen in the U.K. in 2011.
The Powdercap is an orange mushroom, and even after the Strangler takes over, it retains an orange stem, to hold up its own grey head. As one mycologist puts it, the Strangler's "mushroom erupts in place of the host's mushroom."
A Powdercap without a parasite. H. Krisp/CC BY 3.0
The Strangler is picky about its victims, though; it has "extreme host specificity," according to a 2010 study on this parasitic relationship. It's rare for fungi to be parasites, and the BBC reports that only 30 mushrooms in Europe exhibit this type of behavior. The Strangler and the Powdercap are actually closely related species, so it's possible that, despite what it looks like, this is a symbiotic relationship.
But that seems doubtful. Most living things, no matter what their persuasion, do not thrive by having their heads shoved off and another grown in its place.

Okay, so I am done with farming now. Enough work done.
I am back to where I was few years back !!!
For last couple of months, even now its more than a year I am not active in my original profession that is Software development.
These days my mind think more about how to do natural farming without chemical fertilizer, chemical pesticide and other stuffs about Farming. Not sure if its a good sign but I let my mind go where it wants to go.
As far as my physical problem is concerned that was caused due to long hour sitting on chair (my thigh pains) that still persist and I am struggling with that pain every day, every hour and every second even in the sleep.
Of course software development field has given me name, fame and survival, it has also given me day to day pain in my normal life.
If anybody has any suggestion on how to get rid of thigh pain do let me know.
Hoping to get rid of thigh pain by doing a lot of exercise but as I am very lazy so this plan is on hold for last few years.

Manga Reviews: Lovesick Ellie Volume 4, 5, & 6
Lovesick Ellie follows a young woman named Ellie who is a self-proclaimed pervert and is fixated on the most popular boy in school, Ohmi. A chance encounter with Ohmi reveals Ohmi's true nature, leads to them getting closer, and maybe to Ellie's fantasies becoming a reality.
Series: Lovesick Ellie
Author: Fujimomo
Ongoing: yes
Rating: 4.25/5 stars
Date read: April 30, 2020
After the events of the previous volume Ellie and Ohmi have worked out their latest conflict but now finals are just around the corner and Ellie should be more concerned than she is about her grades, otherwise how will she get the chance to spend the holidays with Ohmi?
I thought Ohmi was such a sweet boyfriend in this volume. It's really nice to see him taking to heart Ellie's insecurities, and making changes accordingly. I also really appreciated how annoyed Ohmi got over people taking advantage of Ellie, though I'm still waiting for her to find her own voice. Watching her character develop over the course of each volume is one of my favourite aspects of the series and it was especially sweet seeing Ellie getting along better with her classmates. She's slowly breaking free from her shell, at an organic and believable pace. Ellie did stress me out a bit in this volume in that her loss of focus when it came to school was a bit alarming, and I felt like I cared lot more about her grades than she herself did.
I'm also still not sure how I feel about Sara and Reo's relationship, I root for them more than not, but I want more backstory between the two and I'm hoping Sara will start being nicer to Reo. Kaname makes his official appearance in this volume, I always enjoy it when a mysterious boy is introduced and he did not disappoint. Like all common tropes, Lovesick Ellie does something a bit different with him. Kaname doesn't come off as a likeable character because he speaks his mind a bit too freely and doesn't quite seem to grasp social cues, but I found this really refreshing and I'm looking forward to his future interactions with Ellie. But what really got me was the second half of the volume, our girl is always stuck in her own head and can't fathom the idea of Ohmi wanting the same things she does, this creates some really adorable scenes between the two with Ohmi really frustrated over his inability to properly convey his feelings. This was my favourite volume so far and my face hurts from smiling over it.
Date read: May 4, 2020
Volume 5 picks up right where volume 4 left off, with Ellie going over to Ohmi's house.
So this was probably my least favourite volume so far because it featured one of my least favourite shoujo manga scenarios. I won't ever be a fan of a childhood friend/step-sibling/cousin being introduced into the mix for what seems like the sole purpose of causing tension between the main couple. I already feel enough for Ellie and her insecurities that I don't need some girl causing trouble for her. Sakura was a pretty annoying character, but overall I am pretty pleased with the way the drama was handed and the resolution it came to. I'm also super thankful this story arc only lasted one volume. It was also really nice seeing Ellie stick to her resolve and standing up for herself.
Date read: May 18, 2020
Volume 6 of Lovesick Ellie is our Valentine's Day volume, though the theme is for the most part, surprisingly, more on friendship than on romance. Kaname is also causing tension in Ellie's relationships, in more ways that one.
Lovesick Ellie just keeps growing on me. I have such a soft spot for this series. I find Ellie and her awkwardness so endearing, and her friendship with Sara is so cute, and her relationship with Ohmi is so clumsy and sweet. It's always so fun when your two protagonists have such great chemistry. Ellie really brings out Ohmi's shy but demanding side and I love it so much.
I appreciated that one of the major conflicts in this volume was between Sara and Ellie, it's great to see that friends don't always get along, and that friendships also require time and effort. I especially liked that the two girls also had a conversation about sex. Sex is not something that is often discussed in shoujo and I appreciated Sara's positive attitude towards it. As for Sara and Reo, I still don't really understand why she acts the way she does around him, though I imagine we'll eventually find that out. The two shared some really cute scenes in this instalment and Reo is such a sweet guy.
As for that last chapter, I really enjoyed the first half, but was really surprised by how things ended. I just didn't expect Lovesick Ellie to do something so typical. I do think Kaname is a good rival though, in that he's easy to root for and his interactions with Ellie are super cute. Obviously I still prefer Ohmi though.
Also, props to Kaname for finally telling off Tanaka. While it would have been more satisfying if Ellie was the one to do it, I still enjoyed that scene immensely.
If you've read Lovesick Ellie or plan to, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Happy reading! 💗

Lovesick Ellie is off to a great start. Ellie is one of those wallflower protagonists who doesn't have many, if any, friends. She's likeable, easy to root for, and easy to sympathize with given the way her classmates make no effort with her. Ellie's perverted nature can get a bit awkward at times, but it's more hilarious than it is weird (and it's pretty weird). I love Ellie's interactions with Ohmi, they're so cute, and even though she's often thinking perverted things they're very wholesome. I like that Ohmi accepts Ellie for who she is right off the bat, and that he's comfortable being himself around her, I'd say that's a pretty good premise and reason for liking a girl. But Ellie and Ohmi aren't the only fun characters, I love the addition of Sara to the cast. Lovesick Ellie does something unique with her introduction, in that initially it seems like Sara is using Ellie to get closer to Ohmi but in reality really does just want to be her friend. Chapter four is pretty much your typical festival chapter, with a potential rival thrown in, but I'm interested to see Fujimomo's take on it.
Date read: January 31, 2020
Volume 2 of Lovesick Ellie picks up right where we left off last volume, with Ellie and Ohmi stranded after the festival.
It's a pretty common occurrence in shoujo manga that the main couple gets stranded, has to stay at a hotel, thinks about doing the deed, but ultimately doesn't. I like that Lovesick Ellie did things differently, and more realistically, in that Ohmi called his uncle for a ride home. When we were introduced to Aoba, I expected him to be a rival for Ohmi, but of course Lovesick Ellie isn't your typical shoujo and goes about things a bit differently. Aoba isn't really acting like a rival and while he does bring out Ohmi's jealous side he makes no actual passes at Ellie, and I feel like his character is present more to give insight into Ohmi's past than anything else. Ohmi's backstory isn't overly moving or anything (mind you I never think manga does backstories particularly well as they always seem to hinge on some sort of event) but I did find this one a lot more believable. I definitely have a soft spot for this series, Ellie is a super weird protagonist but she's also very endearing. She's different from other shoujo protagonists in that she's weird and she embraces it. I also just really like Ohmi as a love interest, they're well suited for each other.
Is all of Ellie's hard work and studying finally paying off?
I think this was the best volume of Lovesick Ellie so far. It took a lot of typical shoujo tropes and flipped them on their heads. Instead of the typical "bland girl gets bullied for being with the popular boy" scenario, we have a misunderstanding and Ellie's peers think Ohmi is dating Sara and they target her instead. As much as I don't like this trope, I did enjoy seeing Lovesick Ellie poke fun at it. Ohmi wasn't great at communicating his feelings to Ellie in the last few chapters (I'm pretty impressed at his communication with Ellie aside from this), but I think the problem was addressed and fixed pretty quickly. I can definitely forgive miscommunication when it's resolved right away, and when said resolution is as cute as this one was. In fact every resolution they had in this volume was adorable, and I love how much Ohmi reassures Ellie when she's feeling insecure. As wild as Ellie's imagination can get, her insecurities towards her first kiss were very endearing and something I'm sure a lot of young people can relate to. Romance aside, one of my favourite aspects of Lovesick Ellie is Ellie's relationship with Sara. I love that Ellie and Sara confide so much in each other, and find their friendship super sweet. Shoujo manga is killing it lately with the friendships. I LOVE me a rival so naturally I'm super excited about the next volume.
If you read Lovesick Ellie or plan to, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Happy reading! 💗


Authoritarian liberalization is the only kind there has ever been (@ UF2.1).
Let it be explicitly said: this is no less a dramatic top-down change than the Cultural Revolution was. The main differences is that this is not insane and perhaps the pace of change, and so is doing the opposite of killing everybody.
China cannot reform politically without reforming economically first. But to reform economic policy, it first had to remove the far left (as the West uses the term, actually they are called the conservatives in China). The article linked through the Diplomat focuses on China's decentralized political structure, where local governments have ably ignored central government regulations for years. There is also a battle at the top though. There have been reports coming out for a couple of years now about removing Maoist thought from the party. Bo Xilai was trying to revive Maoism (reds). He went down, and then Zhou Yongkang, a Bo Xilai ally at the top level of government, lost his power. Now corruption charges are aimed at the major oil companies in China. The major oil companies are red controlled entities. This was one of their paths to advancement within the party, and now it is dead.
What is taking place is a political takedown through political and economic channels. The battle goes back years (some called the downfall of Bo Xilia, the revenge of Wen Jiabao). The key turning point for recent history was 2005, when the market reforms stopped and the banks stepped in to prop up party power. Regulatory power was shifted from the PBOC to MoF and reform ground to a halt. One of the first things that happened after Bo Xilai fell, was a halted financial reform project in Wenzhou was revived, under the care of the PBOC. If you look at what is going on now, it is a turf battle between the PBOC and MoF on some issues. A faction of insiders who want to get rich like the setup of controlling SOEs and the big banks that lend to them. The reformers want to reduce their power and allow more market reforms. Foreigners were supposed to be allowed into the Chinese stock market in 2005, now this might finally happen in the next few years.
Nick, I've been looking at Carl Schmitt for my thesis. Here is a good on his ties with authortarian liberalism. It's a very detailed, meticulous study. The chapter on Hayek and Schmitt is particularly revealing – so is the Appendix speech.

Niue is one of the world's largest coral islands.1 Like other Pacific islands, Niue struggles with land loss as a result of traditional slash and burn agriculture, along with improper waste disposal that pollutes the environment.2
1 https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ne.html
2 https://www.gdrc.org/oceans/sin-problems.html
The islanders have a strong connection to their Polynesian, Samoan, and other Pacific Islander heritage. However, the islands are at risk for losing their native culture as the population is steadily declining.1
1 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/13/niue-pacific-island-struggling-population-new-zealand
Women and girls on the islands struggle to receive equal opportunities for work advancements as their male peers. Factors such as early marriage, teen pregnancy, sexual assault, and lack of government aid cause females to drop out of school earlier and therefore have less opportunities to advance their careers. 1 There is also no legal action in place to discourage sexual abuse and trafficking. As a result, perpetrators face no consequences even in cases that are reported to the police.2

2 http://www.humanium.org/en/asia-pacific/cook-islands/
Public education on the islands is free and compulsory for students ages 5-15, and it follows a similar structure to New Zealand's educational system. Students learn about agriculture and the Maori culture and early on, with the option to receive more vocational training later.1 The biggest struggle for education on the islands is the lack of qualified teachers and limited access to remote villages. Experienced teachers opt to work on the mainland, and the islands' isolation inhibits telecommunication capabilities.2 98% of children begin primary school at age 5, but only 64% are still in attendance by age 11. Dropout rates are high for both male and female adolescents.3

Poverty does not exist on Niue because the New Zealand government provides jobs and welfare funding for the islanders.1,2 However, without the government aid, poverty on the island would be unavoidable. Isolation and a lack of natural resources make it almost impossible for the island to be self-sufficient.3

3 http://www.borgenmagazine.com/poverty-in-tokelau-eradicated/
Pacific Island tradition influences the practice of Christianity on the islands. The highest percentage of people identify with the Congregational Christian Church, a branch of Protestantism introduced by London missionaries.1 Members of the church have an annual celebration called "Gospel Days", a commemoration of when missionaries first arrived on the islands. They sing, dance, and enact real-world current events that show the battle between good and evil.2
2 http://www.cookislands.org.uk/gospelday.html#.WS8QdhPyv-Y
The management of clean water sources is one of the biggest challenges on the islands. Drinking water is collected in tanks from groundwater sources or rainwater, but water purification systems often do not work properly due to a lack of expertise. The sewage management system also malfunctions without proper care, allowing raw sewage to flow into the sea water.1 New Zealand representatives provide instruction to islanders on proper waste management.2

In Niue, the economy is bolstered by the New Zealand government, which has established a trust fund that pays the salary for many residents employed in government jobs. New Zealand plans to reduce its amount of aid in the future as Niue grows its tourism industry and becomes more self-sufficient.1

Niue is a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand. It is totally responsible for its own local government and receives aid from New Zealand in foreign affairs and defense. The appointed minister works with local leaders to represent the islands.1,2

All of the islands struggle to educate residents about the dangers of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that result from unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, and inactivity. NCDs such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions were the leading cause of death in Pacific Island nations in 2013. By providing more regulation of alcohol and tobacco and educating citizens on the dangers of these activities, the government hopes to reduce the prevalence of NCDs.1 A lack of sexual education also leads to many teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.2

Young citizens who remain on the islands can take part in educational programs where they learn the traditional vocations of their ancestors, like canoe-making and fishing. These programs are a part of efforts to maintain the islands' culture despite a mass population exodus to New Zealand.1 Children younger than 16 are not legally allowed to work, although the law is loosely enforced by the local Industrial Relations Officer.2
Most of the wildlife population in the New Zealand territories is similar to other Pacific islands. Several species of insects and birds are endangered, but the local government has taken measures to protect them.1

In the Mojave Desert of Southern California, the world's energy companies converge to produce power. They've destroyed ecosystems, migrating birds, tortoise, and sacred places from ancient civilizations.
The LA Times indicates, we are at a "Flashpoint" between competing value-systems. Bodies
have been exhumed, and geoglyphs destroyed, in an area that is a long-term indigenous settlement.
"Who Are My People?" depicts how the world's energy firms have met their match in a small group of Native American elders, in the hottest desert on the planet.
The film takes us behind the scenes of two of the largest solar projects in the world,
"fast tracked" by US renewable energy policies.
With Don Alfredo Figueroa (Yaqui, Chemehuevi), Reverend Ronald Van Fleet (Mojave Traditional/Hereditary Chief), Phil Smith (Chemehuevi), and Preston Arrow-weed, (Quechan/Kumeyaay).

Motorsport & RacingRace CarReviewGinetta
2009 Ginetta-Zytek GZ09S/2

There was always going to be a new LMP from Zytek for the 2009 season. However, new regulations for the year, announced the previous September, meant a change of thinking with regard to the nature of the Ginetta-Zytek GZ09S, as it is known.
The GZ09S aero package includes a rear wing to meet with the latest regulations. The width is less, as is the box size. The end plate fitting has also changed. The plate is flat as before but is now simply fitted to the tail section with an angle bracket, as mandated by the new regulations. The tail section has been changed to generate more down force. It now features inner dive planes, which it did not have in 2008. The side bleed in front of the radiator behind the front wheel has been changed with a larger bleed area. There is a panel that closes off the hole, which is also there to legalise the side opening.
The front suspension geometry has been changed for the GZ09S. This has been done to help reduce understeer in the car and also to protect tyre life, a factor that is has becoming increasingly important with the new pit stop regulations.

In addition to the front suspension geometry, the GZ09S has a new AP Racing brake caliper package, a step forward for stiffness and cooling. The brake duct system has also been changed to take full advantage of this.
Early in the development programme for the GZ09S, it became clear that the entire electrical architecture needed revisiting and rationalising. The key point to the wiring improvements was to reduce the number of wires passing around the car. This was achieved by the introduction of distributed I/O. Rather than running separate wires for each sensor to a central control box, small individual control boxes are placed in these
areas; the sensors are then connected to the local control boxes which pass all of the signals back to central box on a communications bus, in this case using just four wires. The system implemented was the Lightweight System provided by Pi Research.
It was the integration of another Pi Research system, which provided the major functional improvement in the GZ09S electronics. The Hyllus Power Control Management (PCM) allows the 12V power supply to any electrical system on the car (in this case any one of 32 separate channels) to be controlled by any switch, sensor, or combination of, in real time. This has allowed Zytek's systems engineers to introduce control functionality that improves both the car's performance and its reliability.
