Der BMW G06 ist ein seit 2019 angebotener Crossover aus SUV und Coupé des Automobilherstellers BMW. F96 ist die interne Bezeichnung für den X6 M.

Modellgeschichte
Erste Bilder des G06 veröffentlichte BMW am . Seine Öffentlichkeitspremiere hatte das Fahrzeug im  auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt am Main. Seit  werden die ersten Modelle des wieder im BMW-Werk Spartanburg produzierten X6 ausgeliefert. Eine überarbeitete Version debütierte am . Sie soll im April 2023 auf den Markt kommen.

Ebenfalls auf der IAA 2019 wurde der G06 als Einzelstück mit einer Vantablack-VBx2-Lackierung vorgestellt. Die verwendete Lackierung absorbiert bis zu 99,965 % des Lichtes und ist das "schwärzeste Schwarz der Welt".

Auf der LA Auto Show im  präsentiert BMW den X6 als M-Version mit dem Antrieb aus dem BMW M5 F90. Marktstart des X6 M F96 war im .

Technik

Die dritte Generation des X6 basiert wie der X5 (G05) auf der CLAR-Plattform. Insbesondere der Innenraum entspricht nahezu dem des X5.

Gegenüber dem Vorgängermodell F16 verändern sich die Abmessungen nur geringfügig. Optisch wird der G06 etwas kantiger. Erstmals bei einem BMW-Modell kann die BMW-Niere beleuchtet werden.

Antrieb
Das Fahrzeug ist ausschließlich mit Achtstufen-Automatikgetriebe erhältlich.

Ottomotoren
Mit einem 2,0-l-R4-Ottomotor, der maximal 195 kW leistet (xDrive30i), beginnt das Motorprogramm in China. In Europa ist an der Position des kleinsten Ottomotors ein Reihensechszylinder-Motor mit maximal 250 kW, dessen Leistung mit Allradantrieb an alle Räder übertragen wird (xDrive40i); in den USA gibt es dieselbe Motorvariante auch mit Hinterradantrieb (sDrive40i). Leistungsschwächster V8-Ottomotor ist der M50i mit 390 kW. Ebenfalls mit V8-Motor werden der X6 M und der X6 M Competition angeboten; deren maximale Leistung beträgt 441 kW bzw. 460 kW.

Dieselmotoren
Seit Verkaufsstart wird ein 3,0-l-R6-Dieselmotor mit zwei Leistungsstufen angeboten. Der xDrive30d wird mit Turbolader mit verstellbaren Leitschaufeln aufgeladen und leistet damit maximal 195 kW. Das "M Performance"-Modell M50d das maximal 294 kW leistet hat eine Stufenaufladung aus vier Turboladern. Beide sind mit Allradantrieb ausgestattet.

Umwelt
Alle in Europa angebotenen Motoren erfüllen mindestens die Euro-6d-TEMP-Abgasvorschrift.

Fahrzeuge in China genügen dem China-VI-Standard und jene in den USA sind nach Bin 125 zertifiziert.

Vantablack-Showfahrzeug

In einem Making-of-Video mit ca. 01:15 min Länge zeigte der Hersteller die Entstehung des Showfahrzeugs. Diesem zufolge wurde die Verglasung stark abgedunkelt, sodass der Innenraum nicht einsehbar ist. Das Basisfahrzeug, das offenbar ursprünglich eine blaue Farbe trug, wurde dann mit üblichen Schritten vorbereitet und mit VBx2 überlackiert.

One Hit Wonders: Brad Dick
By Glenn McFarlane, of the Herald Sun
If it hadn't been for two knee reconstructions and two shoulder surgeries, Brad Dick's time at Collingwood might have been more significant than the series of cameos he provided across 27 games and 32 goals.
He might even have pushed to be a part of a premiership side.
Instead, each time the lightly-framed small forward and part-time midfielder showed great promise in a handful of his matches, including on a few big-occasion moments, injuries seemed to follow. Each time he looked to secure his position within the side, ill-fortune seemed to follow.
Dick fits perfectly into this one-hit wonder series, for his signature performance came when he kicked five goals on the Queen's Birthday stage against Melbourne in 2009. But there were a few other moments that stood out, including the following year's corresponding match against the Demons, and in the 2009 semi-final win over Adelaide.
There were times, when injuries continued to derail his momentum, he felt as if he might have to give the game away. Each time he worked to come back.
"Plenty of times I thought I'd chuck it in, but I always thought I needed to have a good crack at it," Dick said about his injury issues. "I also wanted to play AFL football."
Dick's father, Kim, came from Goomalling, a small town just over 130km north-east of Perth (the town's name is inked on the inside of his right arm). But Brad was raised and learnt his early football skills in Geraldton, more 400km to the north of the state's capital.
He had a strong football pedigree. His uncle, Willie Dick, played seven games for Essendon in 1992 in a brief AFL career cut short by homesickness which saw him return to Perth, the city and the WAFL club.
Brad was small and scrawny as a young footballer, which saw him teased by some of those he played with and against. But when he left Champion Valley Football Club, in Geraldton, for East Fremantle, he was intent on making an impression. He managed that in a short time, and attracted the interest of Collingwood, who claimed him as pick 44 in the 2006 national draft.
It was the same draft which delivered future Magpie premiership players Ben Reid (pick No. 8), Nathan Brown (No. 10), Chris Dawes (No. 28) and Tyson Goldsack (No. 63).
Weighing 66kg at the time, Dick grew up as a Magpies supporter and watched the draft unfold on the internet, believing he was headed either to Fremantle or Collingwood.
"When Collingwood called up my name I was absolutely rapt," he told the Herald Sun. "Collingwood rang me but the Dockers rang me, too, the day before, and said they might pick me up. But (Collingwood recruiting manager) Derek Hine called and said if I wasn't taken by the time they came up, they'd take me.
"I thought I sort of wanted to stay home so Freo might be okay, but then I dreamed of playing for Collingwood. Nathan Buckley was my hero."
Dick made his AFL debut as an 18-year-old against Richmond in round three, 2007 before more than 70,000 fans, alongside another indigenous player Shannon Cox. It was also Alan Toovey's first match, and 'Toovs' kicked three goals in the game, while Dick managed two majors in the 25-point win.
It was the first of six games he played in his debut season, but nothing seemed to go right for him the following season. In 2008 he suffered a season-ending left knee injury, which naturally enough brought on a wave of homesickness which almost sent him home, accentuated by the death of one of his cousins.
He told The Age: "When I did my knee … I'd had enough … (I) got a bit depressed and thought, 'I don't even want to be here' because I wasn't playing football. When my first cousin passed away it was the lowest point."
"I was really down at that time anyway, being away from home and not playing football, so when that happened I went back home for the funeral and I didn't even want to come back, to tell you the truth."
His parents, Kim and Rosalind, and older sisters, Melissa and Cherie, supported him in the only way they knew how – they moved across the Nullarbor Plain to Melbourne. It worked, for Dick produced his best AFL season in 2009 on his return from the knee injury, playing 16 games with his benchmark performance coming on Queen's Birthday.
On the same day Demon No. 1 draft pick Jack Watts played his first game, and was targeted by a number of senior Magpies, Dick's performance had some wondering if they had witnessed the birth of a new star – in only his 11thgame. He had 16 disposals, kicked five goals and two behinds, earned the weekly Rising Star nomination, and even won a lesson on post-goal celebrations from Leon Davis.
"It was just one of the best feelings (kicking goals)," he said after the game. "I was thinking 'I feel like I belong here'. Leon said, 'Copy me – just raise a finger. But I said: 'You're No. 1, that's you."
His captain Nick Maxwell was another who encouraged him to get pumped up after kicking his goals – "Maxi always comes up and says, 'Do it – just do it'. When I get excited, they get excited."
Dick encountered a few shoulder problems during the 2009 season, though he kept playing on through to the finals.
In a semi-final clash with Adelaide, the Crows led by more than five goals just before half-time. But the young Magpies turned in a stunning second half, with Dick kicking two goals in a game-defining third quarter.
His coach Mick Malthouse said of Dick: "He has matured terrifically and for a young kid who doesn't say a lot off the ground, he says a massive amount on the ground in terms of structure. He is a delight to coach and he understands the game structure beautifully and he's prepared to work it."
The Magpies ended up winning the match against the Crows, though Dick was held goal-less the week after as Collingwood lost to Geelong in a preliminary final.
Dick suffered another serious shoulder injury early the following season, but managed to get back – as a late withdrawal for Alan Didak – for the 2010 Queen's Birthday clash. Just as he had the previous year, he hit the scoreboard, kicking four goals in a dramatic draw with Melbourne. Frustratingly, his shoulder gave away the following week against Sydney, which ultimately required surgery which kept him out for the rest of the season.
It was a costly injury. He had to sit back and watch the rest of the year as Collingwood went onto win the 2010 premiership. It was a shattering experience, and he couldn't quite bring himself to attend the match, having asked Malthouse if it was OK if he could watch the game in television with his family.
"It was really good for all my mates and I was happy for the boys and the club, but inside I was pretty sad," he said. "Now I just want to do whatever I can and give all I've got to get back into this team."
Dick managed to play three AFL games in 2011, with his last one coming against Geelong in round eight. Bad luck intervened again. He suffered a second serious knee injury – this time to his right one – in a VFL game against Casey, another shattering blow as the Magpies went on to play more finals, including the losing Grand Final against the Cats.
He was delisted by Collingwood, but offered the chance to train with the club over the preseason in the hope of winning a spot on the rookie list. But frustrated by his run of misfortune, and eager to seek a change of fortune, Dick opted to return to Western Australia in an effort to reignite his AFL career.
He trained with Fremantle, though he was overlooked by the Dockers.
Enter Malthouse. With West Coast considering taking him, the club rang Malthouse in an effort to find out more about Dick's capacity for hard work. The call convinced the Eagles he was worth a shot, and he was picked up as a rookie and was later added to the primary list. But sadly he couldn't crack it for a senior AFL game in his two seasons at the club.
Dick played for East Fremantle in the WAFL – once kicking eight goals against West Perth. Despite on-going knee issues, he would go on to kick 47 goals in 2014 with Rumbalara in the Murray Football League; spent time with Southern Districts in the Northern Territory; once signed to play with his good mate and former Collingwood teammate Jaxson Barham at Lorne; and has played football recently in Kalgoorlie.
But, for Collingwood fans, he will always be remembered for his two Queen's Birthday games (he got a Brownlow vote in one of them), and his 2009 semi-final efforts, more so than the injuries that hindered his career.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) - The Albanian president said Wednesday he would be ready to resign from his post - or even to kill himself - if it would help resolve his country's political crisis.
Ilir Meta said that after failing to mediate a solution he was ready to resign if he were "assured the country has a political, constitutional and solid solution."
Though Meta was elected two years ago with the votes of the ruling leftist Socialist Party, he has not been at peace with the government since.
The center-right Democratic Party-led opposition has resigned from its parliamentary mandates and has been holding protests accusing the leftist Socialist Party government of Prime Minister Edi Rama of being corrupt and linked to organized crime, and asking for an early election.
Speaking to reporters in the eastern city of Pogradec, Meta also compared himself to the Chilean President Salvador Allende, who killed himself in 1973 as troops surrounded his palace following a military coup.
Meta said he would be ready to "sacrifice my own life like Salvador Allende to stop the installation of a junta that would turn Albania back 30 years."
The opposition has not heeded calls from the United States and the European Union not to incite violence and to sit down for talks with the government.
During five rallies in a month, opposition supporters have used smoke bombs and projectiles to try to enter the parliament or the government buildings. Police have responded with tear gas and water cannons. A new rally is planned for Thursday.
The governing Socialists have 74 seats in the 140-seat parliament. Some of the seats vacated by the opposition have been replaced by others from its lists, but many remain empty.
The Socialists say the opposition is not helping Albania's progress toward European Union membership. Brussels will decide in June whether to launch full membership negotiations with Albania.


Seeing as though I wouldn't be home during the kids birthdays and xmas, we decided to take a family trip to Disneyland using the air miles we'd been saving for many, many years. Needless to say, Emma and Evan loved it.
Now, don't be fooled by his casual posture and confident smile. This is the only known picture in existence with Evan and a Disney character. We tried for three full days to get him in on the pictures with the other characters throughout the park, including his favorite, Woody, from Toy Story, with no success.
But the most important character to get a photo with during the entire trip was Jessie, from Toy Story. She eluded us for almost all of the trip, only making appearances in various parades and so on. But on the final afternoon we were stopping by the 'Ranch' area in case she might be there and who pops out from behind a fence? Why it's none other than our favorite cowboy and cowgirl from Woody's Roundup!
All in all it was a great trip. Disneyland never disappoints.
One interesting side note. It turns out that Emma, once over the initial fear of getting on them, is a roller coaster nut! Once she got her first taste, it was all over. She would have gone on anything and nearly foamed at the mouth every time she saw one. Here's an early video of her on the Gadget Coaster in Toon Town. The crazier the ride, the more she hoots it up. This was a pretty tame one in comparison to her favorite ride, Mulholland Madness.
Much like my former employer, we've had to cut a lot of fat lately. We could only afford to move a small amount of stuff overseas so we had to find new homes for the majority of our crap; and crap it all is. It's amazing how much stuff you accumulate when you have a place to put it. So far we've sent three truck loads to the dump and three to the Salvation Army. The rest has been crammed into what little space our parents have left.
Though stressful, this de-cluttering has been surprisingly freeing. I feel so much lighter and almost…peaceful? Maybe peaceful isn't the right word, but it's the best one I can think of to describe the feeling. It's almost as if throwing out the junk and excess baggage does the same to the inside of your head. Maybe these Danes are on to something? Like that guy said on the Oprah special about Copenhagen the other day: "less space, less things, more life".
Sounds good to me. Let's see if we can pull it off. And no, I don't watch Oprah regularly.

With a knife, remove the rind from the ham.
Place the ham in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes to desalt it. Drain.
Place the ham in a large slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients. Season with pepper. Bake for 7 to 8 hours on high temperature or until the ham is fork tender. Turn the ham over halfway through cooking, if possible.
Keep the pan juices for cooking whole potatoes, if desired.
I thought the ham was to sweet, next time I will cut down on the sugar.
Best slow-cooker ham recipe EVER!

Pest Management - About Insects and Mites
All insects have six legs, but other than that, they are extremely variable. They include such organisms as beetles, flies, bees, ants, moths, and butterflies. Mites and spiders have eight legs - they are not insects. But for the purposes of this tip sheet, they will be considered as insects.
Insects damage plants in several ways. The most visible damage is chewed plant leaves and flowers. Many pests are visible and can be readily identified, including the Japanese beetle, Colorado potato beetle, and numerous species of caterpillars such as tent caterpillars and tomato hornworms. Other chewing insects, however, such as cutworms (which are caterpillars), come out at night to eat, and burrow into the soil during the day. These are much harder to identify but should be considered if young plants seem to disappear overnight or are found cut off at ground level.
Sucking insects are extremely common and can be very damaging. These insects insert their mouth parts into the plant tissues and suck out the plant juices. They also may carry diseases that they spread from plant to plant as they move about the yard. You may suspect that these insects are present if you notice misshapen plant leaves or flower petals. Often the younger leaves will appear curled or puckered. Flowers developing from the buds may only partially develop. Look on the underside of the leaves as that is where many species tend to gather. Common sucking insects include leafhoppers, aphids, mealy bugs, thrips, and mites.
Other insects cause damage by boring into stems, fruits, and leaves. They may disrupt the plant's ability to transport water. They also create opportunities for disease organisms to attack the plants. You may suspect the presence of boring insects if you see small accumulations of sawdust-like material on plant stems or fruits. Common examples of boring insects include squash vine borers and corn borers.

I'm reading. I always read the newspaper, The Houston Chronicle. How I still miss the long-gone Houston Post. Oh, how I miss the Chronicle from the time when it was a real newspaper instead of a mournful shadow of itself.
The mail periodically brings, well, periodicals: The Economist, Reader's Digest, National Geographic, Consumer Reports, Texas Highways, Texas Parks and Wildlife, a plethora of home decorating mags, and the public relations publications of Adubon Society, Houston Zoo, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Nature Conservancy and para-church pubs.
And, of course, I seldom miss my daily devotions.
"Of course," just as my great grandmother, Mama Calahan, said to my sister and me, "Of course, I know you girls completed your morning devotions long ago, but Mrs. M_ and I enjoyed a late start to our morning and hoped you wouldn't mind joining us for ours. It's so nice to have good, young voices to read and sing for us."
Jowett, John Henry: My Daily Meditation for the Circling Year. New York Chicago: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1924. Project Gutenberg. Kindle. Each day's reading is a short commentary on a scripture reference which I'm incongruously reading in the Amplified Bible, the Lockman Foundation's Kindle edition.
Lady Bird, the border collie puppy, came to visit on Good Friday and went home on April 30th. She grew from a 12-week old puppy (terrible two's in human years) to almost 16-weeks (a tweenager) and was either terribly sweet or horrid most of the time. It was an experience for all of us. Her last couple of days were near perfect. Mandy was willing to play with the pup and it was fun to watch them play herding games but I'm the only one who misses her at all. Mandy's reaction was to show me the kennel and ask if she could have the uneaten puppy chow. Cathey had a lovely trip to Ireland and I can tell I'm going to have to follow in her footsteps one day.

George and Ben had a blast filming this new TVC all the way down at Rockingham Speedway, promoting hovercarts! We've heard that they looked like true pros and by all accounts had a brilliant day playing around on them like 10 year olds! Well done gents!


The "no one/JK Rowling" meme has people imagining what other strange details the "Harry Potter" author might have concocted and some of the jokes are hilariously savage.
It's been years since famed Harry Potter author JK Rowling wrapped up the book series and gave her beloved characters a fitting end to their magical saga. After seven books and eight films, Harry Potter's story ended but that hasn't stopped J.K. Rowling from revealing information about the characters after the fact. Notably, Rowling confirmed that Dumbledore is gay, and that wizards used to crap on the floor before plumbing. People have taken to ribbing the famous author for these revelations and have turned her announcements into the hilarious "no one" "JK Rowling" meme.
People are making up shocking "revelations" in the style of the author and no one is safe–not even Dobby. The "no one" "JK Rowling" memes are absurd and, honestly, a little bit believable.
Good luck getting this image of the sorting hat out of your head.
Many of the "no one" "JK Rowling" memes involve Dobby the house elf, which makes us wonder what kind of untapped potential the creature had.
Why does Jojo feel more like a Hufflepuff to me?
Does anyone remember this part of the Rosa Parks story?
Does this make anyone else feel deeply weird in their soul?
Of course, the Harry Potter books were a huge part of many people's childhoods and, as a result, J.K. Rowling was, too. No shade to the queen of children's literature!!!

Review for Guilty Crown: Series 1 Part 2
It's hard to remember now, but there was a time when a series would take well over 12 months to be released. Single disc volumes containing three or four episodes each, released once every two months. The challenge would be to keep the series fresh in the mind, so that when the next volume arrived, you could dive straight in and pick up where you left off. Of course you always had the luxury of watching those first volumes again as a reminder, and back when I started collecting anime, it certainly did happen that I'd have watched volume 1 three or four times over, before I got to volume 6. With all the anime that comes out now, and all the reviews that I have to write, that's a luxury that I no longer have. But to compensate, these days anime is released in hefty chunks, complete series releases, or half series boxsets, and even then, those are spaced close enough together that you can finish with one boxset, only for the next to have arrived on your doormat in the interim. And then there's Guilty Crown, which for some annoying reason has had a five month gap between volumes. I can't remember a thing about this show, except that it was a Code Geass wannabe. I don't recall the story, couldn't name any of the characters, and I don't have the time to go watch Part 1 again to get caught up. I'll have to dive into this collection of episodes, and hope that I can pick it up again as I go along.
Having a meteorite crash into a country would be bad enough, but the disaster that befell Japan brought with it the Apocalypse Virus, a disease that wrought such havoc that the country became unable to govern itself. That was ten years ago, when the GHQ arrived from outside of the country to run its affairs. This is no benevolent UN organisation though, it's an occupation force with far-reaching powers to find and eradicate all sources of the Apocalypse Virus no matter where they may appear. It's not a coincidence that the Apocalypse Virus tends to appear where dissenting groups and those wishing to return power to Japanese hands congregate. This is the Japan that Shu Ouma lives in, although he's not too invested in the political destiny of his homeland. Far from it, he's a socially awkward and introverted teen who has trust issues, and difficulties connecting with his classmates. The one positive he does have in his life is that he's a fan of Inori, an Internet pop-star. But he wishes that he could engage with the world, could actually make a difference.
His life changes the day that he actually meets her, although it's not the kind of situation where you ask for an autograph. Inori is a member of the terrorist group Funeral Parlour, and she's just stolen the Void Genom from GHQ. Injured, and fleeing from GHQ forces, she asks Shu to get it to Gai, the leader of Funeral Parlour. Circumstances lead it to activate instead, and suddenly Shu has special powers awakened from his DNA. The Void Genom allows him to access the Voids in other people, the true nature of their hearts, and these are made manifest in the form of weapons that he can wield. The Void that he pulls from Inori manifests as a powerful blade. It's a power that wasn't meant for him, but he's got it regardless, and Gai needs that power to free Japan from the yoke of the GHQ. It's time for Shu to engage with the world, to make a difference, but he quickly finds that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.
The concluding eleven episodes of Guilty Crown are presented across two Blu-rays from Manga Entertainment, along with some extra features. And as one arc of the story ends at the start of this collection, another begins.
12. The Lost Christmas
13. Isolation
14. Election
17. Exodus
18. Dear...
19. Rebirth
20. A Diary
21. Emergence
22. Convergence
Guilty Crown gets a 1.78:1 widescreen transfer at the 1080p resolution. It's a pretty fair transfer, with the animation coming across with clarity and smoothness. The colour rendition is as rich as you would expect from Blu-ray, and there is only a minimum of banding during scene fade-ins and outs. What strikes me is that the show never seems to make use of the full resolution of HD, appearing soft, and lacking in the pin sharp pop of other HD anime titles. The contrast becomes most apparent during the credit sequences, where the text is suddenly pin-sharp, and for the eye-catch image. Even shows up-scaled from lower resolutions such as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood look more impressive on Blu-ray. That said, this is still a step up from DVD visually speaking.
It's a shame, as Guilty Crown is a beautifully animated show, with impressive, memorable character designs, and a rich and well thought out world design, depicting a near future that is bright and shiny, yet recognisably in 'our' world. The action scenes are brilliantly rendered, and the 3D CG elements and 2D animation meshes seamlessly. The mecha designs too are impressive and stylish, making this a show with a very pleasing visual aesthetic.
The images used in this review are sourced from the PR and are not representative of the final retail release.
You have the options of Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround English and 2.0 Stereo Japanese, and this is one of those titles where the English subtitles are locked to the Japanese audio, and the signs track is locked to the English track. I went with the Japanese audio as always, and the stereo does enough to convey the action, especially when prologicked up. The cast is suited well to their characters, but the real spark of this show comes in its music, which goes above and beyond the usual action anime soundtrack. This is in part to one of its main characters being a pop star, but generally the music to the show, both songs and incidental really does stand out. I gave the dub a try, and it felt like an identikit Funimation dub, with character archetypes getting the same voices over again. The surround does give the action a boost though. The subtitles were accurately timed and free of typographical error.
The discs get an animated menu screen with which they present their content.
Disc 1 has the audio commentaries. Episode 15's commentary features Apphia Yu (Kanon), Tia Ballard (Hare), and Jarrod Greene (Argo), on a typical Funimation actor-fest, with passing mention of the show in question.
It's the same all over again for the commentary on episode 19; all that changes are the identities of the actors, Martha Harms (Haruka), Caitlin Glass (Arisa), and Corey Cleary-Stoner (Souta).
Disc 2 offers you the Episode Previews for episodes 12-21, 5:20 worth. You also get some more of the Guilty Crown 4-Panel Theatre, six bits 8:39 in total length.
The biggest extra here is the Reassortment (Series Digest), which summarises the first arc of the story into a runtime of 47:33. This is presented in Japanese with English subtitles only.
You also get the textless opening, two textless closings, and the U.S. Trailer.
At the end of episode 22, my feelings about this series were such that I only checked the extras on disc 2 to see that they worked, and had no interest in watching them through.
In a perfect world, Part 1 of Guilty Crown would contain episodes 1-12, and Part 2 would contain 13-22, and you could then buy part 1, and never have to bother with part 2. Alas, the series wound up split evenly down the middle when it came to release, which means that to see the concluding episode of the first arc, you have to buy the second collection too. Because the second arc of Guilty Crown is pants. It's seriously pants. It's M.C. Hammer pants. That's how pants it is. I was pretty non-committal about Part 1, its Code Geass-lite stylings seemed somewhat redundant in the face of the real McCoy, but it did present a story that managed to entertain and excite despite that. If it had continued in that vein, I would be perfectly happy to count Guilty Crown as a watchable, if non-essential show.
That somewhat derivative storyline concludes in episode 12, but what follows from episode 13 to the end, takes what little goodwill the series had engendered and flushes it completely down the toilet. From this point on, the story builds on reversal and character assassination. It's about exploring the darker side of these characters, creating a Lord of the Flies situation, with a bunch of school students stuck behind 'enemy lines', and having to govern themselves, and consequently turning out to be utter bastards to each other. Heroes become tyrants, previously virginal and impeccable girls become manipulative sluts, and every once in a while, someone will pull out a gun and shoot someone, in what is supposedly a shocking cliff-hanger, but by the sixth time becomes old hat. All of the characters that you might have liked in the first arc, might have invested in, turn out to be scum of the worst order, and any investment you might have had in the show is rapidly lost.
Don't get me wrong. There's nothing technically wrong with these episodes. Other than the creative choices made in this final arc, the writing is structurally sound, there aren't any gaping plot holes, the animation is just as good as before, the production values shine, the music is excellent, and if by any chance you can engage with the second arc of the show, it will probably work as a piece of entertainment. I suppose you must give the creators kudos for being so willing to alienate a show's viewers to remain true to the original intent of the show. But the bottom line is that if you do alienate the viewers, they will stop watching. I had to watch the show for the purposes of the review, but by episode 15, it was always with a sinking feeling, as I wondered in just what spectacular way the creators would choose to further torpedo their own story in the next episode.
And then there is the ending, where they decide to do Third Impact again, their own version of Evangelion, utterly pretentious (complete with opera and ballet), and ending on a cake and eat it note that is probably the most unsatisfying moment of a show already vacant of satisfaction. Part 1 of Guilty Crown was good, and you're going to need Part 2 to conclude that storyline. That's done in the first episode in this collection. I doubt that the second arc will see much play, which makes this probably the most expensive single episode of anime ever released in the UK.

Against Me/The Sidekicks/The Shondes – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 1/11/14
What seems like forever, I made my way back to Lancaster, PA. It seems like my photography routing from last year is repeating this year. However, the show I attended featured The Shondes, The Sidekicks, and Against Me. The Shondes were the first band to take the stage. I wasn't too familiar with this band, but they have a unique sound and not because they have a violin player. I think people in the audience were wondering why this band was on the bill, but vocalist Louisa Solomon definitely swayed them. I myself enjoyed their set, for it got the crowd excited.
http://shondes.com/
The next band was a band from Ohio called The Sidekicks. I heard of the band prior to the show and thought they were good. In a live setting, The Sidekicks played a set of pop-rock that reminded me of the Blue Album by Weezer. It seemed like there were fans in attendance for them also. The Sidekicks put on a tight set which made me think that this band would be great opening for Jimmy Eat World.
http://sidekicksohio.tumblr.com/
The headliner was Against Me. The last time I saw Against Me was very much prior to Tom Gabel's change to Laura Jane Grace. It was a free show in Philadelphia with The Ataris. However, I am here to say that regardless of who is singing or the member changes, Against Me put on a loud and energetic show. I was blow away at how good they sounded. As soon as Laura stepped on stage, the crowd went into a cheering fit and it didn't stop from there. Atom Willard destroyed the drums. I was taken back at his drum playing and how hard he hit them. I thought he would've broken a snare. As for their new bass player, Inge Johansson, he did not stop for one second from jumping around on stage. I would like to think that anyone that doubted this new carnation of Against Me will feel like a fool. I think the band sounds tighter than ever and probably the best ever. Their new album comes out next week and if you don't see them live, go pick up the new album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, and hear for yourself.

Streicker energizes campaign
John Streicker is thinking about the future. "It's about better politics," said Streicker. "It has drifted so far we shake our head at the situation in Parliament.
Apr. 8, 2011 9:00 a.m.
John Streicker is thinking about the future.
"It's about better politics," said Streicker. "It has drifted so far we shake our head at the situation in Parliament."
The federal Green candidate met with the media yesterday at his campaign headquarters to discuss the specifics of his party's platform.
It focuses on the economy, health and democracy.
It calls for investments and upgrades to the nation's electric grids and for energy efficient buildings.
Energy policy is very important for the isolated Yukon, said Streicker.
"We have energy insecurity here in the North," he said.
Investments in energy projects and efficiencies would create thousands of jobs here in the Yukon and across Canada, he said.
"If you consider retrofitting buildings there's lots of jobs there," said Streicker. "Nationally, we are talking about many thousands of jobs."
Energy savings would offset the cost of the programs, he said.
Stripping subsidies from fossil fuels would make renewable energy more cost effective, Streicker added, citing another Green plank.
Oil and gas would be more expensive, but would be offset by payroll tax cuts, he said.
"We want to shift the tax burden off labour, and on to oil and gas," he said
For the first time in Canadian history a government, not only lost the confidence of the house, but was found in contempt of Parliament.
Dysfunctional government is another issue for Yukoners, said Streicker.
"There is a frustration with Parliament," he said. "If Canadians elect a minority government we should figure out a way to get the job done."
With the electorate so divided there has been talk of coalition governments being formed, but the Green Party doesn't plan on taking sides, said Streicker.
"When we get elected, our goal is to work constructively with other parties, he said. "We have no agenda about working with specific parties."
The tone of Parliament and this election has been decidedly partisan and negative, but stooping to that level is not something that Streicker is prepared to do.
"I'll be a bulldog on policy, but I'm not interested in personal attacks," he said. "It diminishes us as a people and as a territory."
So far in his travels, the gun registry hasn't been raised much, he said.
"It's an issue that the other parties like to keep bringing up because it polarizes people," he said.
Streicker came in third in the last election, ahead of the NDP but behind the Conservatives.
This time around Streicker is optimistic about his chances.
"It's not if we get elected, it's when."

Local surgeon helps jockey ride again
The Monmouth Park Racetrack reached out to The Plastic Surgery Center and Dr. Tushar Patel
Local surgeon helps jockey ride again The Monmouth Park Racetrack reached out to The Plastic Surgery Center and Dr. Tushar Patel Check out this story on app.com: http://on.app.com/1u8O7F3
Contributor Published 2:07 p.m. ET Sept. 17, 2014
Eddie Castro riding Majestic River on June 28 at Monmouth Park in Oceanport. The next day, Castro suffered a large laceration on his leg when kicked from his mount. A few days later, Castro was treated by Dr. Tushar Patel at The Plastic Surgery Center's Center for Outpatient Surgery in Tinton Falls. Less than a month later, Castro was ready to return to work.

Jockey Eddie Castro is used to taking risks. He must be in order to have become Monmouth Park Racetrack's third rider overall, based on 23 winners from 140 mounts. But on June 29, Castro suffered a large laceration on his leg when kicked from his mount Kamarius prior to the ninth race at the Monmouth Park card. The accident occurred as Castro mounted the horse. Kamarius, who was making his first career start, reared up, knocking off and kicking the jockey.
Injuries in Castro's sport often happen, said the 29-year-old Los Santos, Panama native. While Castro acknowledged that occasional injuries and falls do occur, he is grateful that everything turned out as it did. "It could have been worse," he stated.
A professional rider since 2002, Eddie Castro earned the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey of the Year in 2003. On June 4, 2005 at Calder Race Course in Miami Gardens, Florida, Castro set an American record with nine wins on a single race card. He went on to win his 1,000th race at Churchill Downs on Nov. 15, 2006.
While it was originally believed that Castro suffered a broken femur from the horse's kick, X-rays proved negative. Castro was sutured and kept overnight for observation, but further treatment was necessary. The Monmouth Park Racetrack reached out to The Plastic Surgery Center and Dr. Tushar Patel. Patel is an expert in reconstructive plastic surgery with specialized skills in microsurgery.
Patel saw Castro in the practice's Shrewsbury office the very next day. Following a consultation, the two settled on scheduling surgery for that afternoon at The Plastic Surgery Center's Center for Outpatient Surgery next door in Tinton Falls. The surgery center made speedy work of Castro's accommodations, as Patel was sensitive to getting Castro right back to his job.
Patel performed the entire procedure, an irrigation and debridement of the right thigh muscle (cleaning and removal of foreign material or damaged tissue), repair of the right vastus lateralis muscle (located on side of the thigh), and reconstruction with local tissue rearrangement. Less than a month later, Castro was ready to return to work.
According to Patel, "Eddie's injury required a reconstructive approach to deal not only with the skin that was torn by the horse kick, but for the tear in the thigh muscle on the outside part of his leg. For most people an injury such as this could potentially heal in eight to 10 weeks if left alone. However, Eddie's injury required early surgery to get him back on track quickly and to adequately repair the muscle so he may use that leg efficiently when jockeying."
Patel's point is well-taken. Jockeys rely most heavily on leg strength (specifically of the thigh, where Eddie was injured), but use virtually every muscle in their body. It may seem as if a jockey merely relies on a horse's speed to win, but the jockey's own strength, coordination, and balance are vital. In fact, jockeys work as hard as Olympic athletes and are in equally, if not better, supreme shape.
In addition to extreme conditioning, professional jockeys must carefully watch their weight. On average, a professional thoroughbred jockey weighs 112 to 114 pounds and rides animals that weigh 1,200 to 1,700 pounds and run up to 45 miles per hour. It is no wonder jockeys' injury risk is high.
Despite all this conditioning, however, jockeys can quickly lose fitness. Additionally, nothing can duplicate actual time in the saddle, which is why it was so important to get Castro back as soon as possible.
"Everything feels great," Castro reported. "Dr. Patel did a great job with his surgery and was able to get me back to my routine quickly. He is a very nice person and great at what he does." Castro also mentioned, "I felt very comfortable in the surgery center, and everyone treated me well."

Over 8000 runners are entered across 10 races for this year's National at Harewood House Estate.
A host of England's top cross country runners descend on Harewood House Estate near Leeds in West Yorkshire on Saturday (February 23) for the Saucony English National Championships.
The venue hosted the Northern Championships last year and the large sparse area will mean only two laps are needed for the senior men's 12km race.
This year's championships is the 131st edition of the senior men's event, while the senior women race the for the 86th time, with 8027 runners entered across the 10 races.
The figure is down on last year's record figure of 9565 at Parliament Hill, but it's the second highest figure for a Northern venue since 2000, and just 63 down on the number that entered the Roundhay Park, Leeds event in 2010.
Defending champion Adam Hickey is among the entries in the senior men's race, along with area champions Emile Cairess, Henry Pearce and Jack Gray.
Pearce got the better of Southend's Hickey at this year's South of England Championships, and will be in contention for a first national medal, while his club Tonbridge, will have hopes of Pearce leading them to back-to-back team golds.
Cairess is in superb form and followed up his victory at the Northern Championships with gold at the BUCS cross country in a close photo finish.
Joining the Leeds City youngster from the North of England is second and third at Pontefract Park, Morpeth's Carl Avery and Liverpool's Dejene Gezimu.
The Midlands' podium three are all expected to race, with Cambridge and Coleridge's Gray joined by Birchfield Harriers' Omar Ahmed and Coventry Godiva's Mohamed Daud Mohamed.
Former champion Jonny Hay is also among the entries, along with Belgrave Harriers' Nick Goolab, Southampton's Alex Tueten, Stockport Harriers' Jack Morris and Sale Harriers' Nigel Martin, while Leeds City boasts a strong team with Cairess, Graham Rush, Philip Sesemann and Ollie Lockley among their ranks.
In the senior women's race, defending champion Phoebe Law is named among the entries, but hasn't raced since October's Cardiff Cross Challenge, and is not expected to race.
South of England champion Pippa Woolven will have hopes of adding another cross country gold to her collection this weekend. Also expected to challenge for medals is Southern runner-up, City of Norwich's Iona Lake, who won national bronze last year.
City of Stoke's Kate Holt is another area champion set to race, with Bournville Harriers' Nicola Sykes and Bristol and West's Charlotte Taylor-Green joining her from the Midlands' podium on Saturday.
2017 national champion Jess Judd finished third at the Northern Championships and will aim to transfer the speed she demonstrated on the Armagh roads last week onto the country.
Alex Bell, who is sharing her journey this year on Fast Running, finished fourth at Pontefract Park and joins the Blackburn runner on Saturday, while Aldershot's Louise Small will hope third time's a charm after taking silver for the last two years.
Small has just returned from Utah where she spent time learning to cross country ski, and the alternative aerobic training could turn out to be the secret to gold.
Aldershot club mates Emily Hosker Thornhill and Emelia Gorecka are also among the big name entries, along with Charnwood's Gemma Steel. Hopefully, all three are on the start line at 1.35pm on Saturday.
Kendal's Sarah Tunstall will take a break from the mountains to compete at Harewood House, while Leeds City and Tonbridge are well represented with top athletes Claire Duck, Emma Clayton, Lucy Crookes, Nicole Taylor, Elle Baker and Lucy Reid named in their teams.
With four athletes to score for the team honours, both clubs will fancy their chances, but defending gold medalists Sale Harriers along with South of England champions Thames Hare and Hounds, Aldershot and Cambridge and Coleridge can be expected to be in the mix.
Ben Dijkstra, who finished runner-up two years ago in Nottingham, is a leading contender after his Midlands win over Thomas Mortimer.
Stroud and District's Mortimer took under-20 men's bronze in 2018 and will also have his eyes on the top prize, while Lachlan Wellington steps up from the under-17 ranks after silver last year.
Northern champion Rory Leonard is also among the top entries going for junior men's honours. The Morpeth youngster has enjoyed a great cross country season and knows the Harewood House course well after winning Northern under-17 gold there last year.
In the under-20 women's race, Aldershot's Niamh Brown won silver last year and is among the leading entries in the junior women's race.
Grace Brock finished runner-up in the under-17 championships last year and makes the step up to the under-20 ranks on Saturday.
The in-form Amelia Quirk won gold ahead of the Cornwall athlete at the South of England Championships and can be expected to challenge for the top prize, while Northern champion Eleanor Bolton and Midland's Amelia Samuels are also among the entries.
The action starts at 11.00am with the under-17 women's championships before the senior men's 12km event concludes the day's 10 races at 3.00pm.
Meanwhile, national cross country championships also take place in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland this weekend. A preview of the Scottish action at Falkirk can be found here, while the Welsh preview can be found here.

When you have water dripping on your forehead from the ceiling above, the first step in fixing the problem is figuring out from where the water flows.
In the case of our current opioid crisis, the "water from the ceiling" is, without question, prescription drugs.
According to the latest data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 11.8 million people misused opioids in 2016, and the majority of that abuse (11.5 million) was pain reliever misuse rather than heroin use.
Where pain relievers were obtained, 2016.
However this reality isn't Trump's reality. In a crazed speech on March 19, he painted a picture of the opioid crisis that lays most of the blame on . . . Mexico. And undocumented Mexican immigrants.
What Trump leaves out is that more than 90 percent of opioid misuse is from prescription drugs, not heroin. It's true, curbing heroin use should be a top concern—it's more dangerous than prescription drugs and leads to more overdose deaths. But another bit of reality overlooked by Trump is that most heroin and other drugs from Mexico pass through at legal crossings, hidden away in vehicles.
And what's Trump's big solution for these "bad" and "terrible" people?
Considering that that African Americans and Latinos are already up to six times more likely to be punished for drug crimes than whites, Trump's threat of a death penalty carries quite the racial stench.
Imagine if he was threatening death to the (mostly white) drug company executives that produce the drugs for well over 90 percent of opioid addicts in this country? Or the (mostly white) relatives and friends that supply over half of the drugs? Or the the (mostly white) doctors that prescribe 37.5 percent of the misused opioids?
We all might need to pop some opioids to imagine that ever happening.

Your story 97% opioid abuse is nonsense. <1%of pain patients are ever addicted. The majority of addicts were already addicted to meth cocaine alcohol and or heroin and found a way to get cheap or free drugs by faking pain, lying, as adicts do. The majority of deaths are proven to have been miscounted, 42% were intentional suicides, majority were mixed cocaine,alcohol,meth. The majority classed as fentanyl were found to be from illicit classes of the drug,obtained illegally.
Real people are dying from untreated pain. You think a cancer victim gives a f*** about addiction? Thats a bs concept perpetrated by the manufacturers.

Yes, mushrooms are good for you. But do they hold medicinal properties too?
Posted on April 19, 2018 April 19, 2018 by Xsanguin8
Mushrooms have been used in Eastern medicine for centuries to treat everything from asthma to gout.
Now they're being marketed in the West as functional or medicinal mushrooms that can prevent cancer or stimulate higher brain function, but there are relatively few trials in humans to back up these claims.
There are more than 2,000 species of edible mushrooms on the planet, but many of us probably only know a few kinds. Sauteing or grilling up white button mushrooms and portobellos may sound familiar to Americans, but in other parts of the world, particularly Asia, soups and stews might contain shiitake, maitake, oyster or lion's mane.
To find a really good variety of mushrooms, I went to my local Mitsuwa, a Japanese market chain, located at a busy intersection on the west side of Los Angeles. It's pretty drab outside, but when you walk in the doors, there's lots of color and sound: Japanese snacks in bright packages, an aisle of nothing but singing rice cookers, and a rainbow array of mochi ice cream, the Japanese answer to an ice cream sandwich.
Vendors hawk steaming bowls of ramen and freshly fried tempura on one side of the building. And on the other side, there's the produce aisle, which includes rows and rows of mushrooms.
Manager Yumi Kuwata buys the mushrooms here and says her top sellers include shimeji (beech mushrooms,) enoki (tiny white mushrooms with small caps) and shiitake, but she always has at least 10 varieties.
Kuwata says her customers buy mushrooms because they're healthy and low in calories. "Japanese food [is] very healthy cuisine. So that's what they are expecting," she says.
But mushrooms offer a lot more than low calories.
Viki Sabaratnam, the scientist in charge of the mushroom research center at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, says mushrooms are particularly good for us because of what they do before humans harvest them: "Their basic function in the environment is recycling of large molecules, and in the process they produce these fruit bodies, we call them, and they accumulate some of these components."
The components include dozens of nutrients like selenium, vitamin D, potassium and compounds known as beta glucans, which can help fight inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation can contribute to many diseases of aging, such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. Think of mushrooms as the superheroes of the fungi kingdom.
In the lab, researchers have reported all kinds of promising mushroom benefits, from killing cancer in human cells to reducing insulin resistance in diabetic mice.
But research on actual humans hasn't been as prolific.
There are a few outliers: Shiitake mushroom extracts seem to help prolong the lives of stomach cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, and in fact doctors in Japan now prescribe them for that purpose.
Also, maitake (hen-of-the-woods) and scaly wood mushroom extracts seem to strengthen the immune system of some breast cancer patients.
It's hard to draw big conclusions about how these extracts would impact a broad range of people, though, because the studies have been small and targeted to specific populations.
Sabaratnam is studying how mushrooms might someday help fight off dementia, which affects around 50 million people today, with 10 million more added every year. She and her team reviewed studies of 20 different medicinal mushrooms thought to improve brain function and about 80 different metabolites isolated from those mushrooms that were tested in cells in the lab and in mice. They found that these metabolites improved recovery and function in damaged neural cells and had antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
"We have shown in lab experiments, yes, some of these properties are there," But as she admits, "it's quite a long way to go" to say how these mushroom extracts will work in actual humans.
But that hasn't stopped the dietary supplement industry from jumping on reports of mushroom health benefits. There are teas, coffees and pills containing extracts of mushrooms that promise to reduce stress or jump start your brain.
Megan Ware is a dietitian in private practice in Orlando. She sees the potential health benefits of mushrooms, and even drinks mushroom coffee when she wants to feel extra alert. But she warns: "If you're eating cheeseburgers and fries for lunch every day and you eat a couple mushrooms along with it, that doesn't mean it's going to lower your risk for heart disease or diabetes or any of those lifestyle conditions."
Maybe one day, science will be able to prove that mushrooms can help prevent and treat disease. And if not, well, mushrooms are really delicious, so why not add a few new ones to your diet?
Here's a list of a few tasty mushrooms that also show promising health benefits:
Mushrooms And Their Potential Medicinal Benefits
Most edible mushrooms contain high levels of nutrients and antioxidants, are high in fiber and low in cholesterol, and can help us lose weight if we swap them out for less healthy foods. But some appear to contain properties that could potentially benefit human medicine. Here's some selected mushrooms and what we know about them so far.
Lentinula edodes (shiitake)
Extracts of this widely consumed mushroom may help humans improve their immune system, prolong the lives of some cancer patients, and appear to kill certain viruses in the lab and improve gut microbes in mice.
Extracts from this mushroom are credited with reducing obesity in mice by altering their gut bacteria.
Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom)
In the lab, extracts of this mushroom appear to inhibit growth of breast and colon cancer cells.

Bryce Young
QB | Sophomore | Alabama
Bryce Young became Alabama's fourth Heisman winner and its second in row when he claimed the 2021 trophy following a prolific sophomore season, throwing for 4,322 yards on 314-of-462 passing (68.0%) as a first-year starter. He tossed 43 touchdowns and just four interceptions, leading the Crimson Tide to a 12-1 record, the 2021 SEC championship and to the top seed in the College Football Playoff.
Young, the seventh-youngest Heisman winner at 20 years, 139 days, follows Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith's 2020 Heisman victory and marks the fourth Heisman for the Crimson Tide since 2009, including 2009 winner Mark Ingram and 2015 winner Derrick Henry.
Born in Philadelphia on July 25, 2001, he started his high school career at Cathedral High in Los Angeles before transferring to Mater Dei High in Santa, Ana., Calif., where he played his final two years. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year and the USA Today Offensive Player of the Year as a 2019 senior at Mater Dei after passing for 4,528 yards and 58 TDs.
As a 2020 freshman at Alabama, he served as the back-up to 2020 Heisman Trophy finalist Mac Jones, backing up the third-place Heisman finisher as the Crimson Tide, behind Jones, Smith and fifth-place Heisman finisher running back Najee Harris, won the national title. He played in nine games as a freshman reserve, throwing for 156 yards and one score.
He took over the reins of the Alabama offense as a sophomore, starting all 13 games and played like a seasoned vet. His 43 touchdown passes were the second-most nationally in the regular-season (including the SEC title game) while his passing yards were fourth-most and his quarterback rating of 175.53 was fifth-best.
Young, who also ran for three touchdowns, threw for five TDs in a game three times, including against Arkansas when he also set the Alabama school record with 559 passing yards, breaking a mark that stood for 52 years. He also set SEC Championship records with 421 passing yards and 461 yards of total offense, earning game MVP honors.
He threw for over 300 yards in nine games on the season and threw at least two TD passes in all 13 games, including nine games with three or more and five with four or more. He led the Crimson Tide to a CFP semifinal win over Cincinnati, throwing for 369 yards and three scores, before Alabama fell in the national title game to Georgia.

The banned website "Altermedia Deutschland" praised Germany's Nazi past and promulgated smear campaigns against refugees, Jews and politicians. Now those who ran it are on trial. What is actually known about the site?
A few of the old tweets published by "Altermedia Deutschland" can still be found online. Some are seditious: "You have the responsibility to overthrow that mentally ill Merkel now;" others refer to "Jewish swill" and the "deadly flood of immigrants," openly question whether 6 million Jews were actually killed during the Holocaust or promote National Socialism with quotes from Adolf Hitler.
The neo-Nazi website was banned on January 27, 2016 – the day of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism. German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said at the time that Altermedia published "the most disgusting sort of racist articles." Authorities requested the website be removed from its Russian server. Two suspects were also taken into custody. Their trial started on Thursday.
What are Altermedia's operators accused of?
Federal prosecutors have filed charges with the higher regional court in Stuttgart against five German citizens. Jutta V. and Ralf-Thomas K., the operators of "the leading right-wing extremist internet portal Altermedia Deutschland," are accused of working together to distribute inciting content. Uwe P., Irmgard T. and Talmara S. are accused of having worked as moderators and authors for the website. In response to a June request by the Left Party faction in Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, the federal government said that it was also investigating three further suspects.
Moreover, the banned website was engaged in the systematic dissemination of right-wing extremist and National Socialist ideology. Statements published on the site ranged from "calls for violence against foreigners living in Germany, to the slander of people of non-Christian faiths or of non-white skin color, all the way to Holocaust denials." The site's criminal content was distributed globally. According to the German government, the Altermedia's aim was "to encourage other right-wing extremists to commit further crimes."
What is known about Altermedia's origins and connections?
The website was supposedly founded as a counter to left-wing media networks. A 2008 study on right-wing extremist groups commissioned for the GUE/NGL, a left-wing European Parliament group, claimed that the domain was part of the internet portfolio of US white supremacist David Duke, a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Duke participated in the far-right white nationalist protests that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.
A Belgian confidant of French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, former leader of the far-right National Front (FN), is often mentioned as the site's European co-founder. The GUE/NGL study listed subpages in some 20 European countries as well as Canada and the United States. It said more than half of those people accessing the site were based in Germany but that Altermedia Deutschland was also popular in Austria, Romania, the US and the Czech Republic.
The website was originally known under the name "Störtebeker-Netz" according to Germany's 2016 Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution. At the height of its popularity, its forum drew several million clicks per year. The website's "racist, xenophobic, anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic content" was largely accessed by neo-Nazis.
What came out of the first Altermedia trial in 2011?
In 2011, two Altermedia Deutschland operators stood trial in the northern German city of Rostock: Axel Möller and Robert R., both members of the neo-Nazi political party NPD (National Democratic Party of Germany), were jailed for hate speech and incitement to commit criminal acts. Author Andreas Speit covered the trial for the German daily newspaper Taz. He described how Möller – who had also been convicted of similar crimes in 2010 – refused to accept the term "admission of guilt," instead insisting upon giving a "very proud admission of guilt" after prosecutors quoted anti-Semitic rants and calls for "violence against colored people." Shortly thereafter, Altermedia was removed from its US sever only to surface again elsewhere, before eventually finding a new home on a Russian server.
What followed the 2016 ban of Altermedia?
Berlin's interior senator, Frank Henkel, says that after the neo-Nazi outlet was banned, Germany's right-wing extremists were forced relocate to foreign-based websites. The Russian social media network VK, formerly known as VKontakte, quickly became one of their favorite spots.
A visit to the website for Altermedia's current incarnation yields a rather empty webpage featuring a quote from George Orwell and a link to a French and Belgian version of the site. The French-language website features diary excerpts from Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Was Altermedia even relevant in the right-wing scene?
When the ban was announced, many observers noted that Altermedia Deutschland was no longer a relevant force in the right-wing extremist scene because more and more neo-Nazis had turned to social media networks like Twitter and Facebook, which allowed them to reach far more people. The 2016 Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution also pointed to "a shift of the scene's formerly internal communication to increasingly larger recipient groups on social media networks and short message services."
Offensive posts reported by users are not always removed from such sites, according to a test recently carried out by the "jugendschutz.net" (youth protection) initiative. It is also very easy to set up proxy accounts. Jugendschutz.net found that alternative platforms such as VK rarely removed any offensive content.

Cruise ship Empress of the Seas reportedly got caught in Hurricane Michael's outer bands, CNN reported.
Snapper Tams, a passenger on the Royal Caribbean ship, posted video footage of stormy seas, heavy rain, and harsh winds.
He said the ship sat for a few hours as the storm moved through the Yucatan Channel in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Seas are still somewhat rough," he told the network on Oct. 9. "Last night they were about 13-15' swells."
There were no reports of damage or any injuries, but Tams said that some people got seasick.
