QFF Energy Savers has compiled a detailed breakdown of information and resources on reducing your on-farm energy consumption.
Farmers and irrigators should regularly check their tariffs to make sure they are on the most suitable tariff.
Audits undertaken during the Energy Savers program throughout Queensland have identified opportunities for farmers to save money by reviewing their tariffs: case studies highlighting tariff opportunities are available HERE.
The Drought Relief from Electricity Charges Scheme provides relief from supply charges on electricity accounts that are used to pump water for farm or irrigation purposes. Details and application at the Department of Energy and Water Supply website.
Download checklists and energy efficiency guides to help reduce energy consumption.
Ross Anderson from Aqua Gold Consulting explained how Ergon Tariffs work at the QFF Cotton Irrigators Field Day on 7 September. See the presentation here.
The owner of the electricity distribution network, or Distribution Network Service Provider (DNSP) in Queensland is Energy Queensland, which has recently been formed by the amalgamation of Ergon Energy and Energex.
Use Ergon's Incentive Search (search by map, address or NMI) to see if you are in an area where there are cashback incentives for reducing demand or improving power factor.
Find out more about power factor and how you may be able to make energy and cost savings with power factor correction (PFC) at the Ergon and Energex websites.
With Irrigation making up a large proportion of on-farm energy for many sectors, there are often significant opportunities to save energy with improved irrigation systems.
Moving water around is energy-intensive so by saving water, farmers can also save energy. Many agricultural sectors have worked over recent years on Rural Water Use Efficiency Projects.
The Energy Savers Programs have audited a number of irrigation systems and identified a number of energy efficiency savings. See the Irrigation Case Studies HERE.
Needs analysis, design and planning to balance water and energy efficiency objectives to deliver the right amount of water at the right time.
Optomising equipment, so that the system delivers the best result for the energy inputs.
Energy source – using the most cost effective and efficient energy source.
5% of the lifetime cost of a pump is the purchase price, and 85% is the energy cost!
Increasing poly pipe diameter from 32mm to 50mm (over 200m at 2l/s) will cut pumping costs per ML by around 90%!
Limiting water velocities to 2 metres per second.
Pat Daley advised growers about Powering irrigation with Solar PV, including understanding irrigation system design and managed system capacity to get the most out of your solar PV.

See a Xyl em Pumps worked example from the QFF and Ergon Energy Savers 2015 Roadshow showing the potential energy savings in upgrading a pump and motor to a high-efficiency model, and then further savings by adding a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) to pump the same amount of water over a longer period.
a 90kW moveable pump with a discharge valve targeting 170psi running 985 hours per year, getting a payback of 3 years.
Good design of farm buildings can lead to energy savings. Buildings that are designed to allow natural light access, without allowing the heat; and allow prevailing breezes to cool the building; will save on lighting and ventilation costs – and be more comfortable to work in!
See the AgInnovators information on Energy-efficient farm buildings.
Some advice is provided on the Ergon Energy Website about Energy Audits and Choosing an energy efficiency consultant.
Ergon's Trade Ally Network lists providers of a range of products and services including energy auditors and consultants, refrigeration, financial and irrigation businesses.
Some more information is provided about skills requirements for Energy Efficiency at the Australian Government's Energy Efficiency Exchange.
There are many ways you can reduce farm fuel costs, and many are quick-wins, which mean they won't cost anything to start with, and will save fuel immediately.
There are good fuel cost savings to be made by adjusting your driving technique. Fast acceleration and hard braking, as well as carrying extra weight can all contribute to higher fuel consumption compared to more moderate driving.
The RACQ provides advise on driving to cut fuel costs through ecodriving, with 11 simple tips.
There are a number of useful fact sheets with good tips on saving money through eco-driving. The ecoBiz Fact Sheet: Efficient Driving and Fleet Management provides advice on choosing vehicles and driving to save energy.
See also the AgInnovators page on Adaptive driving – the skill factor in fuel efficiency.
It's easier to save on fuel costs when you have the right-sized tractors and machinery. Consider estimating your tractor power needs and choosing the most suitable size, rather than buying the highest horsepower-per-dollar model.
The AgInnovators website includes fact sheets and a guide on Estimating Tractor Power Needs with an 8 step assessment to help choose the most suitable tractor for the job.

Energy Productivity is the gross value of products delivered for every unit of energy. It measures the amount of product that can be produced per unit of energy. Increasing or improving energy productivity means to reduce the amount of energy required to produce each unit of output.
See the Aginnovators renewable energy information here, including descriptions of the key renewable energy sources.
Once you've identified energy savings or renewable energy opportunities for your farm, the next challenge is to find the funds or finance to make it happen.
There are a number of options to either reduce up-front costs or reduce the borrowing costs for the project. These can include new efficient pumps, motors, compressors, vehicles, lights, renewable energy systems and many other products.
Please see the Energy Savers Fact Sheet for details on finance and funding for energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. View fact sheet HERE.
Each of these financing structures have advantages and disadvantages. The choice of product depends on the farm's specific requirements.
Energy efficiency loans are becoming more widely available in the marketplace. These loan products are tailored to overcoming barriers to energy efficiency implementation. In practice these loans are similar to equipment financing with preferable rates or longer loan periods.
Lower interest rates are available for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through low interest loans provided through The Clean Energy Finance Corporation's (CEFC) Co-Financing Partnerships. Discounts of up to 0.7% off equipment finance rates plus longer terms are available, with security generally on the equipment. These are available through the National Australia Bank, Commonwealth Bank and Westpac.
QRAA, a Queensland Government Agency, offers a "Sustainability Loan" of up to $1.3M to assist with productivity and efficiency projects. Low interest rates and fixed rates (currently as low as 3.11%) are available and they may work with your bank to co-fund a project.
More details on Energy Efficiency Loans are provided in the Energy Savers Fact Sheet.
The Energy Services Agreement model or "Turnkey Solution" is where an Energy Services Company designs, installs and finances the project. In this case, you may not have any upfront costs and repay the cost of the project out of energy cost savings. In some cases, the project may be cash-flow positive from day 1.
More details on Energy Services Agreements are provided in the Energy Savers Fact Sheet.
The Energy Savers Fact Sheet's Quick Reference Guide compares a number of options available to reduce borrowing costs for efficiency and renewable energy equipment.
A Solar PPA is a financial mechanism where a provider installs, owns and operates a solar photovoltaic (PV) system on your property, selling you electricity generated on site at an agreed tariff, and agreed escalation rate. A number of companies are now offering Solar PPAs.
For Details of the programs above, please refer to the Energy Savers Financing Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fact Sheet.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems and other renewable energy technologies may be eligible for Renewable Energy Certificates under the Renewable Energy Target (RET).
For Solar PV systems up to 100kW a Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) is credited (deemed) for each megawatt hour MWh the system is expected to generate until the end of the program in 2030. The value of the STCs will be deducted from the purchase price of your system by your supplier, reducing the purchase price of the system. In 2017, the deeming period reduced to 14 years, and will now reduce by a year on 1 January each year, slightly reducing the system discount. STCs are also credited for solar or heat pump hot water systems, wind turbines up to 10kW and small-scale hydro plants up to 6.4kW capacity.
Larger renewable energy systems of over 100kW create a Large Scale Generation Certificate (LGC) for each MWh of renewable energy once it has been generated. LGCs are then sold or traded at a negotiated price, usually to retailers or other businesses that have an LGC liability through an open LGC market. The price of LGCs fluctuates based on supply and demand and the income from LGCs occurs after the energy has been generated. It will therefore not reduce the purchase price of the system, but provide a revenue stream.

Solar PV uses panels to convert radiation from the sun into electricity.
How much Solar PV should I install?
Systems that are too large will generate excess power that may not be able to be exported to the grid (depending on location), or export at lower feed-in-tariff rates.

Wind energy is harnessed when wind drives the rotation of the blades of a wind turbine, turning a generator to produce electricity.
Wind energy has a long history with agriculture in Australia, with many farmers using windmills to pump bore water.
Modern wind turbines range in size from small turbines that can produce a small amount of power for houses, boats and caravans, to large grid-connected turbines of over 2 megawatts capacity.
Wind power is generated when the wind blows, and is therefore considered a 'variable' source of energy and will be well suited to combining with energy storage to match generation with use.

The Queensland Governments, MinesOnlineMaps website includes Renewable Resources maps which show the average annual wind speeds wind roses throughout Queensland along with suitable infrastructure.
Ground-sourced heat pumps transfer heat between the building and the ground, and make use of fairly constant year round sub-surface temperatures – typically between 10 and 15 degrees celcius. They are well suited to heating and cooling applications.
This constant ground temperature means that the temperature difference between the condenser and evaporator can be reduced, requiring less energy. For example, on a hot day of 40°C where a conventional system will need to provide a temperature difference of 16 degrees to get a target temperature of 24°C, a ground source heat pump will only need to provide a difference of 9°C.
The installation of ground-sourced heat pumps can be more expensive as the technology requires heat transfer pipes to be buried deep in the ground for the heat exchange to occur.
Solar Thermal Heat is where the sun's energy is harnessed to provide heat which can be used directly or used to drive a turbine to generate electricity.
The most common application of solar thermal heat in Queensland is the use of solar hot water systems to heat water for homes, pools and businesses.
Power Tower: where light is reflected from thousands of ground-mounted mirrors to a collector at the top of a tall tower, generating very high temperatures and pressures.
Parabolic Trough: where long mirrors, or highly polished metal troughs reflect sunlight to a solar collector at its focal line. The troughs can be six metres in diameter and hundreds of metres long.
Solar thermal heat requires direct sunlight to generate high heat. As such, they are a 'variable' technology and extensive research and development is underway to develop cost-effective thermal storage solutions, such as molten salts to enable energy to be generated outside daylight hours.
CSP Aarlborg presented an outline of the Sundrop Farms project in South Australia, including how their solar thermal Power Tower technology will be used to provide electricity, steam and desalination to produce irrigation water for the site. Also presented were smaller, scalable solar thermal and solar hot water technologies. Full presentation HERE.

Having a wedding can easily turn into a costly event. It's also very easy to get swept away by all the hype, excitement and the lure of all things "weddingey" 😉 If you're planning a wedding abroad and have a budget to stick to then you may be thinking of ways to reduce costs.
Consider a small and intimate wedding. If you would like to have a small wedding, don't feel that you have to invite everyone. Remember this is your day as a couple and you want to spend it with people that mean something to you. Having a wedding abroad can also reduce the number of guests if it's a destination wedding where all guests need to travel to get there.
Choose a wedding venue that includes the chairs, table cloths, cutlery and crockery in the venue hire price.
Reduce wedding stationery costs. Is it necessary to have an Order of Service printed for all guests at the ceremony? Is it necessary to have table place names?
Consider making your own wedding invitations. Pure Invitation allows you to create your own bespoke invitations with easy to assemble DIY kits and are reasonably priced too. Remember to take the cost of postage into consideration too. Otherwise you could also make electronic invitations using templates that you can download in Microsoft Word or Powerpoint. Or if you're creative then you could design your own template too.
Flowers at a wedding can get expensive. Choose simple, less expensive flowers that are in season. Consider reusing your floral displays from the ceremony in the reception area. A few days before the wedding I also emailed a few guests asking them to take a bouquet of flowers from one of the tables at the end of the night as a way of saying thank you. (In case you were wondering, these guests were either family, travelled far, helped out at the wedding or were part of the bridal party). Remember these flowers all get thrown away after the event so why not give them away instead. It also saves you having to go round to guests on the night of the wedding telling them to take flowers.
If you're looking for a simple and relaxed wedding dress then consider buying it from a high street retailer such as Monsoon. Or have a look at wedding dress outlets where you can find beautiful designer dresses for a fraction of the normal price. The London store is in Bromley which I can definitely recommend checking out: https://www.wed2b.co.uk/locations/london/kent/wedding-dresses-bromley.php Remember if you manage to find a bargain dress but it doesn't fit perfectly then you can always find a seamstress to do the alterations. You could also have your wedding dress made. If it's a simple style with not too much detail then it should definitely cost less.
A lot of people don't like drinking champagne so rather than serving champagne we asked our MC to ensure that guests had a topped up drink for toasting.
Consider a cash bar or limited bar. We decided on a limited bar so only certain spirits, mixers, wines and beers were included. We also provided bottles of red and white wine for the tables.
If you're flexible about colours and styles you could also ask your bridal party to pay for their own outfits if you think they won't have an issue with this.
We didn't use all of these tips but there are a few that we did follow. Hopefully some of these tips might help you too to save some money on this rather expensive day of your life. Are there any other tips that you know of that I haven't mentioned. I'd love to hear in the comments.

BUT THESE PORTRAITS ARE NOW A MOOT POINT.
ALL OF THIS WRETCHED TRASH. GOES IN THE PLACE WHERE IT BELONGS. WHICH IS TO SAY, THE *GARBAGE*.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE AN ARTIST. SOMETIMES YOU CHANGE YOUR IDEA PLANS. BECAUSE THEY SUDDENLY SEEM TERRIBLE. DUE TO YOUR ASTRONOMICAL STRIDES IN CREATIVE MASTERY.
THESE WERE THE PIXEL PUPPETS. OF A LAUGHABLE AMATEUR. THEY ARE BENEATH ME NOW. MUCH LIKE YOU ARE.
BUT IN SPITE OF ALL OF YOUR BAD SHORTCOMINGS. I WILL LET YOU OBSERVE MY ARTISTIC BREAKTHROUGHS. BECAUSE OF HOW PROUD OF THEM I AM. AND WATCHING PEOPLE BE IMPRESSED AT MY DRAWINGS. EVEN DUMB JERKS. MAKES ME FEEL GREAT ABOUT MYSELF AND MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
> BEHOLD, MY EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE GALLERY.


Morning from my own home! My mother-in-law is doing great and she kicked me to the curb! She's ready to get back to her normal life and I'm happy to be home with Bret. I've missed my sewing, even when I'm not sewing, I like sitting in my sewing room and looking at my stuff. I'm sure she missed doing stuff without me checking on her every 5 minutes! It was a fun time though, and I'll miss it!
I've been thinking a lot about my stash of fabric. Not just my pkm stash but all the fabrics I have and still love. I am considering a small project and made a quick fabric pull. Not sure if any or all of these will show up in my project or really, even if I'll actually make it but it was fun. I really enjoy quilts made with fabric that is pulled from many different lines.
I'm working on a quilt from an old 2002 For the Love of Quilting Magazine, named Wild Irish Rose. I originally made it in 30's fabric and always wished I had made the flower centers with connector triangles, so this time I cut some squares for that. I think these will turn out well, the little corners won't line up to the pieced squares, so no pressure there, we'll see if my grand plan works when I begin to stitch it all together.
My fabric inspiration is Urban Chiks Swell Christmas. Kristyne made my quilt inspiration (see it here on Instagram) and you recognize my kit making style. This project is using strip sets so there's lots of units that I have ready to assemble. I have one more strip set to cut and that's ready for some power sewing. I'm glad I saved the magazine, I really like the way that the project was organized.
Organization is key when you're working on a longer term project.. there's lots of things here that look similar but are used in different spots. Mine are all in different little bags (saved from fabric orders!) and they correspond to each step. I hate it when I've set a project aside then have to do some quilt forensics to figure out what needs doing next.
That's what doing with me. We've had some California fall weather in the 70s but this week it will soar back up to the 90s in what hopefully with be the end of the summer heat. HOPEFULLY.
Loving your fabric choices! You mentioned your kit making style...do you have previous blog posts about what you do?

Glad To Be Gay in Scarborough (1980)
By Bob Cant on February 12, 2014 in LGBTQ, United Kingdom
Bob Cant
Collaboration between the procedurally correct trade union movement and the playful street theatre of the gay liberation movement was never going to be easy.
Sticker worn by lesbian and gay 'zappers' at the NAFTHE conference. Photo: Sybil Gertrude Cock.
My own trade union, National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE) provides a case study of events typical of trade unions in the late 1970s/early 1980s; a fuller account is available from the Millthorpe Project Sound Archive in the British Library. Once the union got over the shock of realising that it had openly lesbian and gay members, it adopted, in 1976, a Wolfenden-consciousness policy; in other words, it opposed discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation but the lesbian and gay members were seen primarily as victims in need of protection. The union didn't know how – or didn't want – to go any further to integrate the concerns of these members into the everyday life of the union.
When Scarborough Council refused to hire out its conference facilities to the Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) on the grounds of nothing more than prejudice, a call went out to other organisations to boycott these facilities. It seemed like a straightforward civil rights issue about the right to assembly, and the right to assembly is always important to the trade union movement. But it was an issue that was beyond the political – or perhaps the ethical – grasp of the leadership of NATFHE. They had held conferences there before and they decided to hold their annual conference there again. Resolutions of protest were debated and leaflets of opposition were distributed but the delegates still gathered there in May 1980.
Many delegates, particularly those in the unofficial gay group and a socialist group called Rank and File, decided to draw upon the customs and practices of the gay liberation movement and to zap the conference. We asked delegates to wear stickers saying Glad To Be Gay In Scarborough and two thirds did so; we handed out song sheets containing the words of Tom Robinson's political anthem, 'Glad To Be Gay', and asked people to start singing during the Mayor's welcome address; three of us draped a Gay Teachers Group banner over the balcony and heckled the startled councillor. It felt more like a celebration than a protest but the spirit of gay liberation was, for two minutes, right there in the faces of the NATFHE delegates. The Scarborough News reported our actions under a front page headline: 'Gays are people too'.
It marked a turning point in the relationship between the trade union and its lesbian and gay members. Considerable anger was expressed to the zappers on the day but our status changed from being perceived as victims to becoming agents of change. It marked the beginning of a process whereby this union moved from problematising the sexuality of some of its members to problematising the structures that sought to marginalise and exclude people on account of their sexuality. Lesbians and gay men could begin to participate in union activities to make the workplace habitable for everyone.

I enjoyed this report. The rank and filers of the Gay Teachers' Group did everything right in exposing the union and the Scarborough Council on their blatant refusal to accept a bid for room rental from the Campaign for Homosexual Equality. The buttons and general hoopla offered all gay teachers on the sidelines an opportunity to consider the advantages of coming out in the union.
During the 1970s queer unionized teachers in New York City were ignored when they attempted to pay for ad space to get notices of their meetings published in the union's monthly newsletter. But that prejudiced was challenged in 1977 when Save Our Children, a new and hostile right wing religious movement, made the firing of gay teachers its top priority. From Miami-Dade County to the state of California SOC proved itself to be a common enemy to teachers' unions and sexual/gender minorities in the ranks.
Those ugly political campaigns were a peculiarly American story. I'm glad the zap at the NAFTHE was able to push back so successfully with humor and spirit.

On this trip, I visited Botswana & Zambia between 18-Sep-2018 and 6-Oct-2018 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Botswana was our first return to Africa after many years and we had high expectations. We have come back with great memories having seen some fantastic wildlife, met some lovely and interesting people and had a few adventures.
We feel we have had a good mix of camps and experienced the delta and other areas.
There is just the niggle that we were at Chitabe on the wrong days!
No, we were pleased with the service. Lucy asked lots of questions and listened to the answers!

REMA-REMA
ENTRY / EXIT (INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL)
INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL
Repress on black vinyl with insert. Entry is the last remaining track from the late 1979 recordings at Pathway Studios that produced the 4AD 12" Wheel In The Roses the following year.
At 6 minutes' duration too long to sit aside the studio side of that release, the track has been transferred from the original master tapes, cleaned up modestly and is accompanied here with an instrumental version.
Tightly-wound, with the typical Rema-Rema elements of Moe Tucker-style pounding (cymbal-free) drums, relentless basslines and Marco Pirroni's feedback-laden guitar, this song probably hinted more at Rema-Rema s future path, with its intricate dual vocals, delicate synth motif and a hitherto-muted melodic potential.
Paid for by Charisma Records, they deemed the lyrics blasphemous and promptly sold the recording back to the band.

Rating: 80.7/100
Tokyo has become a cruel and merciless city—a place where vicious creatures called "ghouls" exist alongside humans. The citizens of this once great metropolis live in constant fear of these bloodthirsty savages and their thirst for human flesh....
COMMENTS FOR TOKYO GHOUL
FireFly1 says:
Both main characters are dragged into being different types of mutant humans. The powers in Tokyo Ghoul are more like a natural defense mechanism they are born with and in Ajin they are immortals and some can control a type of stand like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Both shows are dark and dramatic, the key difference is that Ajin is a lot more cynical and Tokyo Ghoul likes to explore the interactions amongst Ghouls
Parasyte -the maxim-
All of a sudden, they arrived: parasitic aliens that descended upon Earth and quickly infiltrated humanity by burrowing into the brains of vulnerable targets. These insatiable beings acquire full control of their host and are able to morph into a var...
COMMENTS FOR PARASYTE -THE MAXIM-
infiniteXD says:
Ajin is the new Sei no Kakuritsu in my opinion because, the key about these two series is the suspense. Kei reminds me about Shinichi in some ways like :The poor main character who wants a normal life but, BOOM something comes on and change his entire life. Also,while Shinichi has Migi, Kei has his phantom or whatever it is.
A shinigami, as a god of death, can kill any person—provided they see their victim's face and write their victim's name in a notebook called a Death Note. One day, Ryuk, bored by the shinigami lifestyle and interested in seeing how a human would us...
COMMENTS FOR DEATH NOTE
demihuman11 says:
I find it similar to Death Note as both series' got me, personally, hooked on anime. Death Note was my first anime, and it's the reason I started loving it. After a while, I drifted away from anime, and nothing really made me want to watch it again. So I decided to go out of my comfort zone and watch an anime that i'd never really heard of; and I'm so glad that I did. Ajin has really made me love anime in the way I used to again. Give it a go!
Inuyashiki: Last Hero
Inuyashiki Ichirou is down on his luck. While only 58 years old, his geriatric looks often have him written off as a pathetic old man by the world around him and he's constantly ignored and disrespected by his family despite all that he's done to sup...
COMMENTS FOR INUYASHIKI: LAST HERO
gangstabrainsick says:
we have a guy who suddenly has a newfound perspective on life because he's been granted a supernatural power. The main difference here is that Kei's life immediately takes a downward turn because of his supernatural power, while Inuyashiki starts experiencing a more triumphant and glorious life. When one person is caught between a mysterious government agency and terrorists, it's hard to expect any joy in life. The more subtle similarities deal with the action and the character relationships. In both, action scenes are characterized with brutal hits and pretty free-flowing CG. However, the intensity of bloodshed isn't too high in either. There is a little more in Inuyashiki, but so far it is not gratuitous. Then there's the way that Kei approaches Satou and tries to reign him in. This seems to be the route that Inuyashiki and Hiro are taking
Devilman: Crybaby
Akira Fudo is informed by his best friend Ryou Asuka that the demons will revive and reclaim the world from the humans. As the humans do not stand a chance against the supernatural power of the demons, Ryou suggests fusing with a demon. Akira becomes...
COMMENTS FOR DEVILMAN: CRYBABY
Hellspawn28 says:
The main protagonist in both anime is thrown into a life of darkness and possess a special ability (Kei being immortal and Akira Fudo becoming a demon). The main protagonist in both anime must learn how to handle their new abilities and slowly become more violent, stronger and determined over time. They are also both filled with violence, action, and blood with a dark and gritty atmosphere. If you like one, you may enjoy the other as well.
Lucy is a special breed of human referred to as "Diclonius," born with a short pair of horns and invisible telekinetic hands that lands her as a victim of inhumane scientific experimentation by the government. However, once circumstances present her ...
COMMENTS FOR ELFEN LIED
Konte says:
* Both series shows supernatural beings ( Diclonius & Ajins ) being hunted by humans...
* Both shows are dark and dramatic...
* Both MC's ( Lucy & Kei ) becomes cold hearted killers ( mostly for self defense )
* Both Lucy & Kei has helpful people around them...
* Both are intense as hell...
* Both has 13 episodes in total ( Ajin has movies )

COMMENTS FOR JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE: STARDUST CRUSADERS
Lord_Valzin says:
On ajin they have a creature that can become like a stand.
While ajin more hated on the stands, because they are more hard to control and can go berserk. jojo they are used for more on the good and isn't really known to the government and or police.

COMMENTS FOR RE:ZERO -STARTING LIFE IN ANOTHER WORLD-
Tiame says:
What makes us want to live and what makes us so scared of dying? But if you could not die, what than? Would your views chance, would you still be scared of your own death, or would you face it again and again until you find the life you can be happy in.
Both of these psichological thrillers deal with these question in verry different situations and if you like the story of on you will surely like the other

COMMENTS FOR KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA
innich says:
Both having similar art style and vibe to the show, both great ones
Justice, and the enforcement of it, has changed. In the 22nd century, Japan enforces the Sibyl System, an objective means of determining the threat level of each citizen by examining their mental state for signs of criminal intent, known as their Psy...
COMMENTS FOR PSYCHO-PASS
Hutai says:
Dark world full of violence, gore, inhumane actions, horror.
Both anime makes you question what's good and bad, right or wrong.
Police forces try to stop criminals/ajin, because they're threat to society.
Saga of Tanya the Evil
On the front lines of the war, there is a little girl. Blond hair, blue eyes, and porcelain white skin, she commands her squad with lisping voice. Her name is Tanya Degurechaff. But in reality, she is one of Japan's most elite salarymen, reborn as a ...
COMMENTS FOR SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL
avil says:
Protagonists of both shows have similar personality, and they're being thrown into the action due to circumstances while neither of them would want to be a part of it, seeking for safe and comfortable life by (almost) any means, always preferring rationality over morality.
Japan, 1988. An explosion caused by a young boy with psychic powers tears through the city of Tokyo and ignites the fuse that leads to World War III. In order to prevent any further destruction, he is captured and taken into custody, never to be hear...
COMMENTS FOR AKIRA
Both anime feature an organization which experiments on superhuman beings in a massive government conspiracy. The main protagonist in both anime possesses superhuman powers and are now being hunted by an evil organization. They both have plenty of action, violence, blood, and gore. If you like one, you should enjoy the other.
In 1972, a popular student in Yomiyama North Middle School's class 3-3 named Misaki passed away during the school year. Since then, the town of Yomiyama has been shrouded by a fearful atmosphere, from the dark secrets hidden deep within. Twenty-six ...
COMMENTS FOR ANOTHER
Both have great and detailed animation that gives a lot to the atmosphere of anime and feeling. Lots of action, fights, deaths, blood and gore. Ajin has more of terrorism and killing, whilst Another has some detective horror story.
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
The world is in the midst of the industrial revolution when horrific creatures emerge from a mysterious virus, ripping through the flesh of humans to sate their never-ending appetite. The only way to kill these beings, known as "Kabane," is by destro...
COMMENTS FOR KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS
64BitRatchet says:
Are they human? Not exactly, in Ajin, Nagai Kei is an Ajin or Demi-Humans if you prefer. Ajin's look like normal humans on the outside, but are actually immortal and have the ability to summon an IBM (Invisible Black Matter), which cannot be seen by the naked eye. While in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ikoma is a Kabaneri, something inbertween a human and a kabane. If you are suspected or confirmed to be a Kabane or Ajin you will try to be captured by someone, and eventually turned in to the government. The government will kill Ajins over and over, while in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress they will just make you to use the suicide bag. Each show also has an old friend of the main character who helps them, even after everyone else has declared them a threat to the rest of the society. Each show has a unique art style. They are both animated by up and coming studios, Polygon Pictures (Ajin), Wit Studio (Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress).
In Tokyo's downtown district of Ikebukuro, amidst many strange rumors and warnings of anonymous gangs and dangerous occupants, one urban legend stands out above the rest—the existence of a headless "Black Rider" who is said to be seen driving a jet...
COMMENTS FOR DURARARA!!
Missionchaos says:
The characters and the general atmosphere are quite similar.The characters are sometimes cruel or the protagonist isn't like your typical protagonist and can be cold hearted.Also the dark creatures in Ajin are similar to the headless rider in Durarara.Plus they are mystery and supernatural genres.
Abandoned by their abusive parents and with only each other to depend on, siblings Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa find themselves led astray by beautiful red butterflies that have appeared in their world. Unbeknownst to them, these crimson winged heralds ...
COMMENTS FOR PUPA
FedeBankai says:
In both shows the main character discovers he's immortal and has to flee or else they'd become the subject of some cruel experiments. I recommend it one way because Pupa's plot doesn't make sense, while Ajin's storyline is coherent and engaging. so if you liked Pupa go ahead and give Ajin a try.
Dr. Kenzou Tenma is a renowned brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe. Highly lauded by his peers as one of the great young minds that will revolutionize the field, he is blessed with a beautiful fiancée and is on the cusp of a big prom...
COMMENTS FOR MONSTER
seQuency says:
I consider these two anime the two best Thriller anime i've ever seen. And debating, Monster is probably the best Thriller anime existing.
They both have really smart MCs and deliver a story, which seems unbelievable hard for them. You could not think of a way for these characters, to solve their problems and the surrounding crimes. Both anime are dark, gloomy and real. At least they feel so.
Both anime have several plot twists, interesting characters and story lines and deep deep character development.
Kokkoku
Juri Yukawa lives with her NEET father and brother, her retired grandfather, her sister (a single mother) and her young nephew. One day, her nephew and brother are kidnapped for ransom. Having only 30 minutes to meet the demands of the kidnappers,...

COMMENTS FOR TOKYO ESP
OtakuNote87 says:
Both deal with humans who acquired supernatural abilities, terrorists who want the country to be theirs and those who want to stop them, along with the police. In addition, they show the sufficiency of those who are gifted, by being marked, by being trampled by even the humanity that is once part of them.
B: The Beginning

COMMENTS FOR B: THE BEGINNING
choisauce says:
Both series have a similar feeling throughout. They both focus on a Cat and Mouse style involving strategy and outmaneuvering one another through smarts and leverage.
Big Order (TV)
Ten years ago, a fairy by the name of Daisy appeared and asked the child Eiji Hoshimiya what his one and only wish was. Although his wish remains a mystery, the consequences were catastrophic. In an event called the "Great Destruction," the world sta...
COMMENTS FOR BIG ORDER (TV)
Ajin and Big Order have a lot of similarities. To start, the main protagonist isn't exactly human. In Ajin he is an Ajin, which is a human who cannot die. While in Big Order, the main character is an Order user, his Order basically destroys everything around him. Each protagonist has a mummy like creature he can summon. The female main character in Big Order also, is immortal and regenerates after she is killed. In each series the protagonist has a younger sister who is in a hospital. To finish, each protagonist is being hunted by a group of people.

COMMENTS FOR INTERVIEWS WITH MONSTER GIRLS
Third-Impact says:
Ajin and Demi-chan are both about the rise of ajin in the modern world and how they are delt with. Ajin however, is much more serious.

COMMENTS FOR JOKER GAME
Adampk says:
Both give out similar vibe and are thrillers
jokers game is about bunch of spys and ajin is about immortal involved in terrorism. Both series are doing similar work.

George Sodini's blog: the plan
Posted on August 5, 2009 by raincoaster
Yes, George Sodini, the LA Fitness Shooter. I'm going to preface this with a great big I THINK THIS IS FAKE. This is my first impression, on reading it and looking at it (one awfully plain HTML site, with not a whole lotta content NOT related to the plan to kill people at a Pittsburgh gym). The only content on that site not related to the plan looks like a thin attempt to "backdate" it and make it look like this was a long time coming. I say either he didn't do this site and some quick-thinking opportunist who wanted to perpetrate a fraud took his best shot, OR he did do it in order to set up some kind of pity defense. Not only does the emptiness of the majority of the site ring hollow, but there is nothing personally identifying there which hasn't already been exposed elsewhere. I'm not seeing any actual images of his personal possessions, environment, etc. All the photos but the one of him are nondescript LA shots that could have been taken by/from anyone/where.
That said, here for the record, is the plan page of the site, copied (with permission!!! Look at the footer) from the site. I forget how to look up who registered a URL and when, but I'll check that out as soon as it comes to me.

Or Hayward. Emigrated in July 1635 on the Assurance; briefly in Dorchester before settling in Windsor. He was a miller and a millwright.
Moved to Northampton in 1658, probably to build the mill there. Appears to have been in Hartford for a time as well. Back to Windsor by 1669.

Depression: Quality of life and pain in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.
Muscle Nerve. 2009 Jul 16; 40(2): 200-205Padua L, Aprile I, Frusciante R, Iannaccone E, Rossi M, Renna R, Messina S, Frasca G, Ricci EThe aim of this study was to assess quality of life (QoL) and evaluate the occurrence and characteristics of pain in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) patients. No study has yet assessed QoL in a large group of FSHD patients and, overall, few studies have assessed pain in neuromuscular diseases. We performed a prospective study using a multidimensional protocol including: clinical (according to the Clinical Severity Scale Rev1); genetic (p13E-11 EcoRI fragments Rev1); QoL (Short Form-36); pain (Visual Analog Scale and Portenoy-6 questions); and depression (Beck Depression Inventory) assessment. QoL measures of FSHD were compared with those of Italian norms. Moreover, we correlated QoL and pain measurements with clinical findings. Sixty-five patients were enrolled in the study. QoL was statistically significantly reduced with respect to the Italian normative sample, mainly in physical domains. Our study demonstrated that pain is frequent in FSHD patients. More than half of the patients complained of at least moderate pain. Women complained of slightly higher levels of deterioration in the emotional aspects of QoL than men. Clinical pattern (as assessed by Clinical Severity Scale) was closely related to physical QoL domains: the higher the clinical involvement, the more severe the QoL deterioration. This study provided information that may be crucial in clinical practice: pain may be a relevant aspect in FSHD patients, and prevention strategies or relevant therapies should be considered as appropriate. Moreover, we must pay more attention to gender differences: women can suffer far greater deterioration in the emotional aspects of QoL. Further multidimensional observations are needed.

A New Feistel Approach Meets Fluid-SPN: Griffin for Zero-Knowledge Applications, by Lorenzo Grassi and Yonglin Hao and Christian Rechberger and Markus Schofnegger and Roman Walch and Qingju Wang
Zero-knowledge (ZK) applications form a large group of use cases in modern cryptography, and recently gained in popularity due to novel proof systems. For many of these applications, cryptographic hash functions are used as the main building blocks, and they often dominate the overall performance and cost of these approaches. Therefore, in the last years several new hash functions were built in order to reduce the cost in these scenarios, including Poseidon and Rescue among others.
These hash functions often look very different from more classical designs such as AES or SHA-2. For example, they work natively with integer objects rather than bits. At the same time, for example Poseidon and Rescue share some common features, such as being SPN schemes and instantiating the nonlinear layer with invertible power maps. While this allows the designers to provide simple and strong arguments for establishing their security, it also introduces some crucial limitations in the design, which affects the performance in the target applications.
To overcome these limitations, we propose the Horst mode of operation, in which the addition in a Feistel scheme $(x,y) mapsto (y+F(x), x)$ is replaced by a multiplication, i.e., $(x,y) mapsto (y times G(x), x)$.
By carefully analyzing the relevant performance metrics in SNARK and STARK protocols, we show how to combine an expanding Horst scheme and the strong points of existing schemes in order to provide security and better efficiency in the target applications. We provide an extensive security analysis for our new design Griffin and a comparison with all current competitors.

Pozzis Samarcanda (Friuli) 20/07
Arenae of Loris Fortuna Park, Udine 21.30
by Stefano Giacomuzzi
Cocco and Stefano are two well-sorted friends united by a common goal: get to Samarkand. Cocco is 73 years old, has a troubled past and is the only remaining inhabitant of Pozzis, an abandoned village in the Friulian mountains. He has always dreamed of heading East astride his 1939 Harley-Davidson. His dream comes true when he meets Stefano, a 22-year-old film director. It's the beginning of a quixotic journey: 8000 km to the heart of Asia, with Cocco riding a motorbike unsuitable for such an extreme journey and Stefano in tow on a van with his crew to make a film on his friend's endeavour and troubled history. Amidst the difficulties of a journey that seems impossible for an old motorcyclist, the doubts of a young film director who finds himself in front of the camera for the first time, and an unexpected and even dramatic turn of events, the two friends fear they embarked on a too big and overwhelming of a project. Only their friendship will help them both reach their goal.
THE DIRECTOR: Stefano Giacomuzzi started experimenting with documentary filmmaking at a very early age as a means of approaching and delving into unusual lives. At the age of nineteen, he started the production of his first feature film "Sotto le stelle fredde" (Under the cold stars), presented at Suns Europe 2019, selected at the Trento Film Festival and recipient of an award at the Bellaria Film Festival. Pozzis, Samarcanda is his second feature film, premiered at the Ischia Film Festival and at the Millennium Docs Against Gravity Film Festival.
IN COLLABORATION WITH: CEC – Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche, Udine.

When I write my blogs I can go all deep into philosophy-land and oh yeah, there was that heart attack thing… But not today. This story is about buying a ticket to see naked people sing and dance…
Apparently some astrologers report that right now is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. To be sure, I suspect a few are also saying "nuh-uh." As for me I tell myself, "that's entertainment." I bring this up because when I hear the reporter talking about this new age stuff on my local NPR station I don't glom onto spinning moons and planets. No-no. I start humming the iconic Aquarius song from Hair, the hippie musical that opened on Broadway in 1968. "The CC Strummers can do this on the ukulele," I proclaim out loud as I'm foraging through the fridge for a snack.
But then I fall backwards in time and land at THAT matinee at the Aquarius Theater on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. It was an afternoon that shook my world. By then I had worn out my New York cast album of Hair and, in the process, learned the words to every single song in the show. My parents probably thought I had lost my mind as I skipped through the house singing "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna" or "gliddy-glub-gloopy, nibby-nabby-noopy, la-la-la-lo-lo." Um, whatever that is…
So let's just say that I was familiar with how this musical rolled, especially that infamous scene at the end of Act One where the cast gets naked on stage. You have to understand that in my repressed nuclear family we didn't talk about body parts and all that doing-what-comes-naturally kind of stuff. It's not like we lived on a farm and every season beheld the circle of life. I know it's hard to imagine daily existence before the age of the internet, technicolor jpegs, high resolution videos. And Bridgerton. I remember a late night slumber party where my girlfriends and I tore through an absconded copy of "The Naked Ape" and wailed in horror (mixed with rabid curiosity) as the story of human zoology unfolded before us. I really wanted to see a naked person. Like, in person…
The Aquarius Theater on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California
When Hair arrives in Los Angeles, I am SO there, on that blessed Saturday afternoon. The best seat I can get is way back in the orchestra section, closer to the bathrooms than the stage, but who cares. I'm living my hippy dream. For two hours, at least.
Act One. Stuff happens. Then more stuff happens. But I know that naked finale is coming. And I know when it's here. The lights go psychedelic, a giant tarp covers the stage and undulates like canvas waves. The music rises in wild crescendos that I feel thrumming in my bones. Whoosh! The tarp snaps away and like magic the naked cast appears, posing like statues in a museum. But suddenly the lights go out in the theater. Well except for those awful flashing strobes. Strobes?
NO-O-O-O-O-O-O
Body parts light up, yes they do, but then vanish in the dark. You don't know what part belongs to what person. Was that a boob, a thing, an arm? The strobes flash on the audience too. Geez thanks for momentarily blinding me just as we're getting to the good stuff. After a few anxious breaths the stage is once again flooded with light and all we see is a whole lot of nothin'.
I'm not proud to admit that I don't remember anything else from the show except THAT. I'm sure this west coast performance of Hair was a full body immersion in sights and sounds. But I drove home, crestfallen, shaking my head at this latest brush with crushed expectations and icy reality.
Going old school at The Wadsworth Theater
You can barely see my seat. Last row but right in the middle
Flash forward thirty-two years. To the summer of 2001. The latest revival of Hair lands back in Los Angeles at the Wadsworth Theater on the sprawling grounds of the Veterans Administration. Of all places. I have lived a lifetime or ten by then and seen plenty of naked people. (I was in nursing school for a while, so there's that…) But I'm feeling that adolescent oh-oh-oh again as I snag another matinee ticket, which just happens to be the last available seat in the house. I am perched in the back row of the balcony, with my head leaning against the wall. At least I'm in the center. Two older women are sitting in front of me, breathlessly commiserating before the show begins.
This time I have binoculars.
Sam Harris and Jennifer Leigh Warren are the big name stars in this rollicking production. They sing and strut with their fellow long-hairs. It's a joyous celebration as they tick off song after song before that big naked reveal at the end of Act One.
I'm looking for the tarp. Where's the freakin' tarp?
Suddenly the stage is lit in a beautiful pink glow as the cast members walk, like naked angels, into the light. And they sing. I think. They move gracefully. There's choreography. I think. And every single body part is hanging out for everybody to see. You know what belongs to whom. No rushy-rushy. No strobes. Time stretches like a rubber band and…I can't believe I'm saying this…it feels like this naked thing is going on forever. I have to pee. It also appears that it's a little chilly on stage.
I have very good binoculars.
Then it ends. Quietly. The house lights go on. Intermission. One of the ladies in front of me leans into her friend and says, "next time we get the expensive seats."

Peace, man…
One of the things I love about Zoom is that every player has the best seat in the house—front row center. The CC Strummers will be learning Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In this month in our Thursday Zoom ukulele classes. Email me if you would like to join us. Thank you for getting word out about our online classes. They are open to everyone.

When your blogs comes through I, "put it on the back burner" as my grandma would say. I save them for a quiet time without interruptions so that I can savor each line. This morning I read about Hair, and the naked people and you did not disappoint! You are such an entertaining writer. Thank you once again for a delightful read.
A little chilly on the stage! I am roaring!!
I remember "HAIR" so well, Cali. It was in New York in the 60's when one of my dance partners from The American Musical And Dramatic Academy said come on and see the show I am doing. Imagine my surprise to see his full frontal up on that stage without warning? I thought the scene went on forever. Our jazz class was a little more awkward after that – -AT least for me – innocent goody two shoes.
This made me laugh! I saw Hair in London when I was maybe 14? – happened to be walking down a busy street and bumped into an old school friend whose cousin had something to do with the show. She asked if I'd like to go see it that very night – she had a free ticket. Two little convent girls with not a clue, apart from rumors – and we were in a BOX and when the naked part happened oh my. Where to look! Well, eyes like saucers we did look but from our box felt excruciatingly visible! Felt very daring and grown up! What a show!! Best part was my sister, 5 years older, was green with envy – you couldn't get any tix never mind a box!! Thanks for reminding me of a happy memory!
Loved your Hair blog! My mother, who was most definitely NOT a hippie, unknowingly took my brother and me to see Hair on the Sunset strip when I was 16 and my brother was 13. She was absolutely aghast at the naked scene, and the whole play to tell the truth—but we loved it! I had a cassette tape of the cast album and played it constantly. I still have it! So many great songs.
Never saw Hair but did go to a play where I had no idea in advance that it contained a nude scene. It was a theater in the round setup and I was in the front row. Yes, indeed . . .
…you are so damned funny. You have to pee. It appears it's a little chilly. I am laughing out loud. Thanks for the chuckle. Let the sun shine in…
Boy does this blog take me back. I was 7 years old when my mom bought the Hair soundtrack album. Like you, I learned every word on the album and pranced about the house, singing songs like "Sodomy. Fellatio. Cunnilingus…" not even knowing what they meant! But I knew they were "nasty". "Dear mother, why do these words sound so nasty?"
My mom took my brothers to see the show but I "called in sick" I think because I wasnt sure I was ready for it! One of my few regrets in life for sure!
Wow! You're such a prolific writer, Cali! I really enjoyed reading. In my imagination, that must be pretty hilarious to see the disappearing acts of body parts! Those hipppie days! LOL
You are hilarious! I also saw "Hair" and had much the same sentiments as you.
Your blog post was hilarious! We saw Hair at the Hollywood Bowl in 2014, I believe. It was raining, so we wimped out and left at intermission. All I recall is trying to beat the crowd out of the venue, no memories of nudity!
I remember seeing this with my oldest sister in San Francisco at their small theater on Geary St. I was a physical therapist so naked body parts were not new to me but it was the first time I smelled marijuana. Like opium, once you can identify the smokey odor, you will never forget it. With all the states now legalizing cannabis, it may be a common smell in the air

I remember a "history and literature" tour from my Melbourne all girls school in the early 70's to Sydney. We stayed in the sleaziest hotel near Kings Cross, the only other guests were hundreds of young US soldiers on R and R from the Vietnam war. We were about 15 years old, but some girls looked much older. Somehow our crazy teacher Miss R. talked our way in to the newest show in town "HAIR" They allowed about 15 of us schoolgirls to watch from the back of the theatre. They ushered us out at the start of the nudity, but we got a glimpse! I also had the Broadway album of Hair and played it until it wore out. I still love that music….
One of the best school experiences I ever had. Now staying at that hotel at that time….there's a whole other story in that one!
