Bulbs won't tell you they need division until it's too late. Come spring, they'll boycott blooming, making your spring a pretty drab one. Don't risk the trauma of a spring without bulbs and divide this fall.
Dividing your bulbs in the fall for replanting is one of the surefire ways to keep your garden expanding and growing every year. Bulbs that have been established and are blooming more sparingly than other years are ready for a division. They are most likely overcrowded and need a little space to grow. Dig the overcrowded bulbs up and divide by separating the parent from the smaller bulbs.
You can also divide bulbs to increase your blooms in different areas of you garden. All you need to do is dig up your bulbs in the fall and separate the baby bulb from the parent.
Cut the foliage down to a few inches before digging up your bulbs.
Dig up your bulbs only after the bloom has died and there is no new growth for the bulb.
Make sure to store your bulbs in a cool dry location through the winter for a spring planting.
Narcissus, amaryllis, acidenthera, and iris form offsets (tiny bulblets), that if pulled off, can be planted to grow into larger bulbs. This is, in fact, how bulbs naturalize themselves into large area. They keep self-dividing.
The best time to divide narcissus is after they finish blooming. When the foliage dies back (and not before) in July, you can lift the bulbs, remove the offsets and replant them all.
Bearded iris and canna lilies can be divided in midsummer and fall. Dig up the rhizomes and slice apart using a sharp knife. Make sure that each division has a single fan of leaves.


Whiz Kids Workshop believes that mass-media can be the most cost-effective and immediate way to make an impact on large educational gaps in the developing world, particularly at the preschool level. We use existing research on mass-media education, new lower-cost technologies for media creation, and booming growth in reach of television to put that belief into practice.
We are best known for the award winning, early-childhood educational television program Tsehai Loves Learning, which won two prestigious international children's media awards in 2008. The "Next Generation Prize" was awarded at the Prix Jeunesse International Children's Television Festival in Munich, Germany in May of 2008, recognizing "Tsehai Loves Learning" for social impact, and high production quality relative to its small budget. "Tsehai Loves Learning" also won the Preschool category at the 2008 Japan Prize for Educational Media in October, beating out many great educational television programs, games, websites, and toys from all over Asia, Europe, and North America.
Whiz Kids Workshop was established in the living room of husband and wife team Shane Etzenhouser and Bruktawit Tigabu in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2005.

RBI rubbishes reports of currency notes with faces of Rabindranath Tagore, APJ Abdul Kalam
INDIAINDIA & BEYOND
Biswajeet Swain Published On : Jun 6, 2022 at 7:40 PM
New Delhi: The central bank Reserve Bank of India (RBI) cleared the air by saying that it has no proposal to bring about changes to the existing currency and bank notes by replacing the face of Mahatma Gandhi with that of others.
"There are reports in certain sections of the media that the Reserve Bank of India is considering changes to the existing currency and banknotes by replacing the face of Mahatma Gandhi with that of others," the central bank said in a statement on Monday.
The statement added that there is no such proposal in the central bank.
As per multiple reports, the RBI and the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India (SPMCIL), which comes under the Finance Ministry, sent two separate sets of samples of Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore and APJ Kalam-watermarked notes to IIT-Delhi's Dilip Shahani.
After reports emerged in the media, the same has been shared extensively on various social media platforms over the past 24 hours or so.
But the RBI has now denied that there is any such proposal.

She made her first public appearance at the age of five, and her debut with orchestra when she was 11. She moved to Europe and continued her piano studies with Maria Curcio and Pierre Sancan and received musical advice from Martha Argerich, Nelson Freire, Daniel Barenboim, Nikita Magaloff and Rafael Orozco. At the age of 13, Karin Lechner performed in Washington and during the same season she appeared at the opening concert of the Holland Festival in the Concertgebouw with the Amsterdam Philharmonic.
Since then she undertook an active international career playing in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA, as well as frequent appearances in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela, Mexico and Japan. Karin Lechner has performed in major concert halls all over the world, including Kennedy Center in Washington, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Philharmonie in Berlin, Suntory Hall in Tokyo or Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, and she participates in important international festivals such as Menton, Toulouse, Montpellier, Colorado, Verbier, Lugano, Pietrasanta, and Schleswig-Holstein.
Karin Lechner has collaborated with other distinguished artists in chamber music performances such as Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Janos Starker, Barbara Hendricks, Viktoria Mullova, and she regularly performs two-piano music with her brother, Sergio Tiempo, with whom she forms a permanent duo and has recorded sevaral CDs. She is also a member of the Carlo Van Neste Trio with the violinist Maya Levy and the cellist Alexandre Debrus.
Karin made her first recording at the age of 13 for EMI, of works by Bach, Schumann and Chopin. When she was 15, she recorded for CBS the Beethoven's First Piano Concerto and Mozart K. 467, and later a recital including works by Beethoven, Schumann and Ravel. She recorded Mozart Piano Concertos K. 413, 414 and 415 in a CD with the Franciscan Quartet and two more CDs with the Berliner Symphoniker, playing Brahms Piano Concertos Nos 1 and 2.

xChange payment and transactional system is a game changer: no more "game" style system, no more  irrational payments for extreme-volatile crypto.  Traditional Bitcoin mining has been by definition "One person meeting another at a specific time and location and saying I agree with what he said". For xChange, we understand that it's computers that take this role and not humans. Miners want to be paid for:  a) having purchased hardware and b) providing the computing energy for confirmations. We at xChange once again remove the interloper. We strategically use AWS enterprise services to do our computing power and consensus mining with greater efficiently, safely, and at a far lower cost. In return, this allows us to give back to the xChange Blockchain Community instead of the mining interloper.

Spotify / Hulu bundle signups end in the US for everyone except students
Tags: Bundles Hulu Spotify US
Spotify launched its first bundled subscription with video-streaming service Hulu in the US in September 2017, for $4.99 a month. The company later rolled it out as a $12.99-a-month option for all American customers in April 2018, then dropped the price to $9.99 a month in March this year.
Now a surprise: Spotify has ended the ability of anyone except students to sign up for a combined Spotify/Hulu subscription. "It's no longer possible to sign up to this deal unless you're eligible for the student discount," explains a page on Spotify's support website.
Music Ally understands that anyone who has already signed up and activates their Hulu by the start of July will have access to the video-streaming service for at least two years (and "possibly more" according to Spotify's spokesperson) as long as they maintain their Spotify subscription.
Even so, some kind of limit has seemingly been reached for the bundle, at a time when music rightsholders are privately (and some publicly) fretting about the impact that entertainment bundles might have on their music-streaming businesses. Which is not to say that's the reason Spotify has ended the ability for anyone who isn't a student in the US to sign up for its Hulu bundle.

The First Royal - Shane Warne returns as the Royal Brand Ambassador.
Today, after a decade of our presence in the world's biggest Twenty-20 competition, the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals is excited to announce an updated brand identity with a new colour and its Royal Brand Ambassador.
Shane Warne has been very closely associated with the team since its inception and immortalised Rajasthan Royals after leading the team to a title win in the inaugural year in 2008. His captaincy, drive, and intensity with which he led a bunch of youngsters to dizzying heights of success is part of a cricketing folklore. He went on to captain the team for four seasons until 2011, after which he retired from all forms of cricket. The 11th edition of the IPL saw Warne returning to Rajasthan Royals as a mentor.
Rajasthan Royals officially unveiled its new look on Star Sports this evening in an exclusive show-'Halla Bol 2019'. The show was aired on Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 HD, Star Sports 1 Hindi and Star Sports 1 HD Hindi at 4:30 pm.

1) Dream Viewer and Visual Studio like skins (Interface Style). All skins (Interface Style) of Rapid PHP 2015 are really bad.
2) Code Editor and Preview are enough. There should be an option to hide Horizontal Split and Vertical Split.
6) Rapid PHP should come with PHP Install (with xDeubg) in it's directory or during installation there should be an option to download and configure PHP (with xDeubg).
7) About Dialog should be like Splash Screen and It should hide when click on it. There should be no OK button.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll write down the ones that we could potentially add.

In conversation with Antonio Lucio
Watch Webinar Listen Podcast Read Interview
Antonio Lucio, CMO at Facebook sat down with IRG Founder Marc de Swaan Arons for a 'virtual fireside chat' about corporate & brand narratives, purpose, and diversity.
Marc de Swaan Arons: "Antonio, It's a huge honor that you can be part of the Humanizing Growth series offered by the Institute for Real Growth. Let me begin by asking what have been your biggest insights from the last few months?"
Antonio Lucio: "I think we have a combination of factors affecting our world today. Our times are unique – like nothing I have ever lived through before. What's happening is probably closest to the upheaval during the 1960s when there was a lot of social change and polarization. During that decade, there were student revolts in Paris, student massacres in Mexico City, demonstrations and shootings in the US.
But I don't think we have seen anything exactly like the present crisis because of the multiple layers of issues and its absolute global scale. I think it's a really an important moment right now for us to reflect deeply as human beings on what our calling is as people and as business leaders.
It's time for leadership. Given the pressures that we're facing, our companies are looking for opportunities for growth. If there's one word that should describe marketing, it's 'growth' – and for some reason we have forgotten about it. Marketing's reason for being is to drive growth by building brands that stand the test of time.
As CMOs, we own the consumer interaction and to achieve growth we need to have an obsession with consumer understanding. Recently, I've seen consumers change from week-to-week. The issue of COVID in different areas of the world has now shifted to racial injustice. The language required to connect with consumers has changed. I don't think there's ever been a bigger opportunity for our function than right now."
"I am tired of seeing all the business cases for diversity. I hope that we take advantage of this moment now and that we mean what we say, and we say what we mean."
Marc de Swaan Arons: "We know that 90% of CMOs have their hearts in the right place. They want to do the right thing, but they just don't know how. Can you talk a little bit about what you think needs to happen and how you started on that journey?"
Antonio Lucio: "There are no shortcuts. Any major transformation that I have been involved with, on both the business and the brand side, requires the same thing –holistic and systemic change. You need to set a very clear vision as to where you're headed along with very specific objectives, programs, measurements and feedback mechanisms. And then you need to start all over again, year after year after year.
For some reason, we talk about diversity as if it was something other than a major transformation. But it is a business transformation. And the time to do it, given where we are in the world today and the need for racial justice, is now. There are many things that we can do. I know that during my lifetime I personally cannot fix the problem of racism in the world, but I think I have enough time to actually fix it within the context of our industry.
We know exactly what we need to do. I am tired of seeing all the business cases for diversity. Every year we have a new consulting firm that shows that diverse firms actually perform better. If they have diverse people on the board, they perform better. If they have diverse people in senior management, they perform better. We've seen these studies over and over again. We've all shared the best practices. We all share it in playbooks.
When we see ourselves in this historical moment that we're living through today, I hope that we take advantage and start to mean what we say and we say what we mean.
It is time to hold each other accountable. Everyone should call each other out because it is critically important that we do. There are things that, as an industry we can do, and we must do. I've been a CMO a long time, so I have nothing but empathy and understanding for all the people that are on this call today and the pressures that you're getting from all sides – from consumers, employees, boards and from CEOs to do something about the situation that we are in. I think it's your responsibility to hold platforms like mine accountable – to ensure that there is brand safety and to ensure that there is civility.
Why? Because you are the brand stewards and that is probably the most important role that you're playing today. You must demand that platforms like ours do significantly better. I'm working to do that with a lot of people inside the company. We must do better, but let's be holistic about this because brand safety and brand values and civility should be applied to everyone. If I were not the CMO of Facebook, I would be saying the same thing. That is one thing that we all need to do. We need to hold Facebook accountable first, because it's the biggest platform of all. But we need to apply the same pressure to every other platform, whether it is online or offline. It's really important that we do."

Q: Find area of this bounded curve. I don't know how to start? This question was asked in Mathematical belarusian olympiad.
Find the area bounded by the curve:
$$\left(\frac x2 + \frac y3\right)^4= 4xy$$

Tried using subtitutions but couldn't figure it out.

A: Using GeoGebra, the graph happens to have two loops; one in the first quadrant and the other in the third quadrant.
Substitute :
$$x=2r\cos^2a ,  y=3r\sin^2a$$
On simplifying, we get:
$$r^2=6\sin^2(2a)$$
Now consider a sector of angle $da$ making an angle $a$ with $X$ axis.
The area of sector is
$$\frac 12 r^2da$$
Therefore, the area of the loop in first quadrant is
$$\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac12r^2da$$
Now, the area of both the loops will be twice this integral.
Substituting the value of $r^2$ in the given integral, the area can be found.

A: With the change of variable:
$$X=x/2,Y=y/3. \tag{1}$$
the initial equation becomes :
$$(X+Y)^4=24XY \tag{2}$$
Let us compute the area $S$ enclosed by curve $(C)$ defined by equation (2), knowing that finally, when returning to the original variables, you will have to multiply $S$ by $2 \times 3 = 6$.
Some remarks about curve $(C)$ : it is in particular symmetrical with respect to the origin because (2) is invariant by transformation $(X,Y) \to (-X,-Y)$ ; furthermore, $(C)$ is not situated in quadrants II and IV (it is impossible for example that $X<0$ and $Y>0$ simultaneously).

Set $$Y=aX \ \ \ \text{with} \ \ a>0\tag{4}$$
in equation (2) (it amounts to look for the intersection of the curve with straight line having equation (4)).
You will obtain
$$X=\frac{\sqrt{24a}}{(1+a)^2}. \tag{5}$$
As a consequence,
$$Y=aX=a\frac{\sqrt{24a}}{(1+a)^2}\tag{6}.$$
With (5) and (6) we have a parametric representation of curve $(C)$.
Then apply formula for the area of a parametric curve:
$$S=\int_{a=0}^{a=\infty}\frac12(XdY-YdX)$$
for the area of one loop.
Multiply this result by $2$ to account for the second loop, in quadrant III. And don't forget to multiply the result by $6$ as said upwards.
Remark: curve $(C)$ is a lemniscate of Gerono, not to be confused with a lemniscate of Bernoulli.
It can be shown by using a $\pi/4$ coordinates rotation
$$\begin{cases}X+Y&=&\sqrt{2}u\\X-Y&=&\sqrt{2}v\end{cases}$$
transform (2) into the following equation in variables $u,v$:
$$u^4=3(u^2-v^2)$$
which is one of the forms of the equation of such a lemniscate (see this site).

Plunderer E09: Release Date and Streaming Details
Dhruv Sharma
Although it has been labeled as shounen on most anime platforms, initially, 'Plunderer' seems to be very different compared to most other similar anime and its premise makes no sense at all. But then, with its second episode, the anime explores its dystopian world and further captivates you as a viewer. It certainly isn't one of the best anime shows of the season, but it is far better than other repetitive shows that offer nothing new. So make sure that you give it a shot. If you're already following its first season, read on further to know all the details about its next season.
When is Plunderer Episode 9 Release Date?
The first two episodes of the series premiered on Funimation's official Youtube channel in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on December 8, 2019. Since its third episode was not a part of this special screening, it was only available when the anime began its regular broadcast on January 23, 2020. 'Plunderer' Episode 9 is scheduled to release on March 5, 2020. You can also refer to our preview to know more about the first season of 'Plunderer'.
Where to Watch Plunderer Episode 9 English Dub Online?
Funimation has acquired the streaming rights for the first season of 'Plunderer'. You can watch the anime on Funimation in most English-speaking regions.
Plunderer Spoilers
A fixed number is printed on every single human and this number represents a particular event in their respective lives. For instance, Hina, the main protagonist has 441 imprinted on her and it represents that she has walked 44,100 kilometers. In the world she lives in, power is sporadically distributed between humans based on their respective numbers. The ones with higher numbers are usually allowed to have more power and often oppress the ones with lower numbers. If a person's number reaches zero someday, he/ she is dragged down to the Abyss.
Although Hina's number seems to be just fine, her mother's number falls back to zero one day and she meets the same fate as many other unfortunate humans. With this, she gets sucked into the darkness of the Abyss. But before that happens, she leaves Hina with a glass orb that contains 40,000 numbers and even asks her to look for the Legendary Ace. After staying in the protected environment of her home throughout her life, Hina finally leaves for the first time and embarks on an adventure to fulfill her mother's last wish.
After looking for the Legendary Ace for several years, she runs into a Knight named Licht who travels the fabled lands of their world along with his boss. She later runs into a Seargent who tries to molest her and even steals her numbers, but that's when Licht comes to her rescue and teaches the Seargent a lesson. He also reveals his number to negative 999 which further proves that he is Legendary she has been looking for all this while. Following this, with Licht by her side now, Hina further delves into the depths of the dangerous world she lives in.

At the staff entrance of the British Library in London, there is a memorial plaque with 142 names. This is the roll of honour for the British librarians who lost their lives while serving in the First World War.
In 2014, Untold Lives told the story of the first of the librarians named on the memorial to die: Quartermaster Sergeant Herbert Gladstone Booth. The last man on the memorial to die prior to the Armistice of 11 November 1918 was Frederick James Boxall, formerly an assistant at Sion College Library in London. 305423 Rifleman Frederick James Boxall of the 1/5th (City of London) Battalion, London Regiment, the 1st Battalion, London Rifle Brigade, died of wounds in France on 7 November 1918, aged nineteen.
Frederick James Boxall was born at Battersea on 25 February 1899, the son of James Boxall and Edith Kate Boxall (née Bishop). At the time of the 1901 Census, the family was living at 13 Brassey Square, Battersea and James was working as a carpenter. Frederick's younger brother Herbert was born on 21 July 1901. The family moved to Croydon. School records show that Frederick studied from 1904 at Ecclesbourne Road Infants School, transferring to Winterbourne Boys School in 1906. Frederick Boxall left school in December 1913 to become a junior assistant at Croydon Library. Two years later, he was appointed assistant at Sion College Library.
Frederick Boxall was called up in 1916. He attested at Croydon on 9 December 1916, when he was seventeen years old. He served with the 1st Battalion, London Rifle Brigade, a Territorial Force unit that was in late 1918 part of 169th Infantry Brigade in the 56th (1/1st London) Division. On 5 November 1918, the 56th Division was advancing towards the Honnelle River, close to the Franco-Belgian border between Valenciennes and Mons. At 5.30 am, the 169th Brigade attacked and captured the village of Angreau. Attempts to advance any further were prevented by heavy machine-gun fire. The 169th and 168th Brigades attempted to continue the advance the following morning. The 1st London Rifle Brigade were successful in capturing their first objective, but strong German counter attacks eventually pushed them back to their original lines. The battalion war diary (TNA: WO 95/2962/6) noted that the weather conditions were not good: 'rain fell all day and the River Honnelle had to be waded across'. The operation failed because the village of Angre was still held by the Germans, and units on the battalion's right had also failed to make progress.
'We regret to announce the death of FREDERICK JAMES BOXALL, assistant in Sion College Library, who was mortally wounded while succouring a wounded comrade on 6th November, and died next day. Boxall, who was nineteen years old, served as a junior in the Croydon Libraries from December, 1913, to December, 1915, when he was appointed at Sion College. A gentle-mannered, earnest and promising young man, his early but heroic death is much deplored'.
Rifleman Boxall is buried in Cambrai East Military Cemetery in France. His name appears on the West Croydon Congregational Church war memorial, now in East Croydon United Reformed Church.
A file among the records of the India Office Public & Judicial Department shows how the anti-German hysteria that developed in Britain after the outbreak of the First World War came to spread as far as central India.
George Makrill was Honorary Secretary of the Anti-German Union - motto: 'No German Labour, No German Goods, No German Influence, Britain for the British'. On 9 August 1915 he wrote to the India Office from the Union's headquarters on The Strand concerning '... certain information, which I have received from a source which I know to be trustworthy, and which appears to me to require immediate action'.
This potentially grave matter was then left hanging, as Makrill had forgotten to include in this initial communication a short list of persons with German connections who had worked or were working in the Central Provinces administration. This was dispatched, with apologies, on 26 August.
• the late Sir Arthur Blumerhassett, former Chief Secretary - what damage might he have done the Allied cause before his death?
• Mr Marten, his successor - had he been 'turned' by Sir Arthur?
• Mr Grille, Assistant Commissioner - was he part of the conspiracy?
• Mr Hullah, Third Secretary - what was his nefarious role?
Mr Makrill might himself have done some elementary checking prior to alerting the India Office, given that he must have meant Sir Arthur Blennerhassett who had died in late January. It was soon established that the four individuals were all Oxbridge graduates, which before the Cambridge spy ring scandal erupted decades later must presumably have worked in their favour. Departmental Secretary Malcolm Seton (Repton and Oriel College, Oxford) took it upon himself to deal with the matter, putting the laconic note in the file on 2 September : 'Mr. J. T. Marten has a German mother, but the Martens are an old Gloucestershire family. I have known him intimately for over 20 years. He has always been rather anti-German in feeling'. He was plainly not impressed by the error over the Blennerhassett surname: 'Burke or Debrett could have been consulted'.
In retrospect it is clear that the whole episode stemmed from the Anti-German Union having somehow discovered that a handful of overseas civil servants had some German ancestry and/or had married German wives, and were keen for the India Office to investigate their backgrounds. Seton's sense of exasperation is plain in another written comment: 'If the Anti-German Union hopes to proscribe every official who has German blood, its labours will be protracted'. No further action seems to have taken place, and Messrs Marten (Clifton and New College, Oxford), Grille (Harrow and Jesus, Cambridge) and Hullah (Oundle and Caius College, Cambridge) were sensibly allowed to continue their careers unmolested.

Find Your Voice: Cameras are Rolling at the Film Club
· by johannessb · in Folio 2017, Our Students, Student Opportunities, Uncategorized
"The workshop that took place at Trident Technical College was an invaluable experience," said Dan Colella, '20. Colella and Matthew Gordner '17 lead the Film Club at the College and last Friday, they took a group of 20 students to Trident to learn about the techniques and equipment of digital film making.
Students learn about digital filmmaking during a workshop at Trident Tech.
The club meets on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in Lightsey Bo8 to screen movies (this week's flick is the original Blade Runner). On Fridays, they meet at 7 p.m. for production-related workshops. Topics range from writer's rooms to post-production. The workshop at Trident was led by instructor Tim Fennel and really opened Colella's eyes to the possibilities of a film studies program. "I think I can speak for the rest of the students in attendance," said Colella, "that we were a little jealous of all the equipment and access the Trident Tech students have. Hopefully, someday in the future, film production can come to the College of Charleston as a major. But for now, I hope that the Film Club can be a great option for students to learn about and create films."
Colella has learned a lot from the club over the years, and he has a lot more to offer its incoming members. "My favorite memory from the Film Club was having Professor Rodney Rogers come speak to the club members about screenwriting. Having had experience as a screenwriter and director in the film industry, it was really great to have him come speak to the students about the process of scriptwriting associated with filmmaking," he said. Colella is very excited to revive the CofC Student Film Festival in the spring.

Gundam NT-1 Ver.2.0 1/100 Scale Master Grade Rundown
Martin Toney
Oct 15.2019
Welcome Gunpla fans, both old and new!
Today we're following up on our unboxing of the Gundam NT-1 Ver.2.0 1/100 Scale Master Grade by having a look at how the kit looks when it's built and detailed straight out of the box. What that means in the context of this rundown is that the kit has been assembled, armed, and decorated using components only found in the box but also given some minimal panel lining and accent detailing to draw out the details that would otherwise be lost in pictures. There will be no third-party applications, weapons, or adornments found in other kits. There will be minimal panel lining, no painting, and minimal nub removal.
The reasoning behind this is that we wish to present the kit to you in as plain a fashion as possible, so that we can avoid potentially misrepresenting it. There is only one set of color-correcting stickers in this kit, which are used for the eyepiece and cameras. There are a number of additional add-ons for unit markings and other detailing jobs, however, for the sake of this rundown, we won't be using them all and merely using the most immediately relevant markings, such as the ALEX branding on the shield, the chest, and shoulder markings, and some general details.
While assembling the main chest unit for the ALEX, you could quite easily be forgiven for thinking that you're just working on the RX-78-2, with little in the way of any distinction being readily visible. But the bulk of the ALEX is where you'll start to notice a difference. Granted, it's 1/100 scale relative to a 18.5m tall suit, but the chest unit is far chunkier than you would expect, with the chest vents extending a decent distance from the chest. Luckily, this generally massive structuring is a common theme throughout the build, with the legs and feet in particular flaring out into massive armored plates.
The forearms and their pair of 90mm Gatling Gun are cleverly hidden away inside of the thick armor plating and serve as one of the suit's two gimmicks. Much to my chagrin, the shoulders come festooned with that awful black plastic material that you need to scrunch up and put over the joints to give the appearance of a hermetically sealed system. Sure, it looks great and completely sells the looks they were going for, but I spent more time getting it wrinkled and into place before tucking it in than I did building the actual arms themselves. I really do wish Bandai would find an alternative to this method of joint concealment, because it's more of a taste of your patience than it is a required part of the kit. You'll also notice that the sliding armor on the forearms protrudes way past the elbow joint, and this can lead to a few posing problems if you're trying to get the Gatling Gun showing at certain angles.
But I would be lying if I said I didn't like the look of the Gatling Guns when they are actually deployed. While we're talking about the arms, you ought to be careful with the hand assembly, as the joint in the wrist is incredibly tight, to the point at which it becomes a negative. It might be best to assemble your wrist and hand portions before constructing those arms in-proper and seeing if it would benefit you to sand them down a little.
Beyond this, arm assembly is generally no issue at all and rather straightforward.
The RX·C-Sh-05 UBC/S-0003 articulated shield is just fantastic. It's massive, it's wide, it has a folding mechanism and sliding grip that lets you reveal and conceal the arm-sheathed Gatling Gun without any issues. And the ALEX iconography sticker that's scrawled across it gives it a very distinct flare that sets it apart from the typical shield that you'll find on other mobile suits.
Finally, let's talk about those massive legs. They are literally as big as you may have heard from others without a stroke of hyperbole. The ALEX strides around on huge armor-plated legs with massive, color-separated, flared out boosters that come in that same rich blue that coats the chest, feet, and forearm Gatling Gun shrouds. Inside that, you'll find a rich yellow that seems to far exceed what is found on other kits thanks to the amazing blue shroud that it's inside.
So as you can see in the image above, the ALEX is quite a large, chunky, and impressive-looking suit that is undeniably leaning heavily into an older anime aesthetic wherein bulk was equated to strength and power before aesthetics evolved in the mainstream to include more streamlined designs. The ALEX is a pricey kit at ¥5200, roughly $48 or £40 for those of us buying overseas, but if you ask me it's worth every single penny.

I've ways loved how detailed these models are. I prefer Patlabors to Gundums of course, but I'd love to see more robots like Battlemechs done with this kind of movable model.
Martin Toney on October 25, 2019 at 3:14 am	said
There are a number of Patlabor kits out there! They're a bit dated, sure, but they do capture the aesthetic quite nicely! I'll consider looking into doing a bit of coverage for that.
GhostL on October 16, 2019 at 3:55 pm	said
Hell yeah. Been obsessed with Gunpla, good to see reviews coming here too.
StanTheStrongArm on October 19, 2019 at 7:03 pm	said
It's a Gundam!!!
Az on October 20, 2019 at 8:05 am	said
I want to get into Gunpla! Please do an rx-78-2 comparison between RG, MG 3.0 and the HG revive
bibbo on October 25, 2019 at 3:01 am	said
more articles like this please! also – can you feature RG model builds
RG kits will take a bit longer given how infrequent new releases are plus the associated costs and shipping, but there are three currently pending coverage: RG Wing Gundam, RG Tallgeese and the recently released RG Nu-Gundam. Keep checking back, there's a ton of Gunpla in the pipeline.

The Arm Arbor Courier is in (leep grief,...
Ann Arbor Argus, January 15, 1892
The Arm Arbor Courier is in (leep grief, because the Second Michigan district is not represented on good committees, as might have been the case had Allen been returned, as he, being an experienced member, would have been placed on important eommittees. Rest easy, neighbor, and don't borrow trouble, as it is haid to repay. Gorman may not be quite so conspicuous on dress parade, but he is a major general in a tariff fight, and li is vote declares the tariff is a tax; in this, the Second district iscorrectly represented, and it made no mistake in changing Allen for Gorman. The worth of a congiessman is in his vote, neighbor, and not in his committee assignment. Tbrough Gorman the Second district is recognized in legislation; tlirough Allen it woulil have been ignored. - Adrián I'ress. Ir is very exasperating to the members of the local press club, to the citizens of Ann Arbor, and to the University authorities, who are endeavoring to créate a favorable irnpression upon the state editors gathered here, to see an attempt being made by a few "cranks" to counteract all that they are doing by the distribution of an injurious pamphlet entitled, "Ann Arbor, the University and Saloons." This pamphlet contains an address by Mr. Steere, which has for its object the creation of a sentiment in favor of a five mile law. We do not wish to be understood as placing ourselves on record either as opposed to or in favor of this law. It is not n our province to take a stand upon either side of a question of this kind. ]?ut we do most strenuously object to anumberof the statements made in the article, because som e of them are exaggerated, and some absolutely untrue. Then, also, it is extremely injudicious to place this warped and distorted statement before the state editors at this time, particularly. We do nat know who is responsible for the move. We are informed that the Students' Christian Association is back of it, but we are unwilling to believe that any University organization would be guilty of such an unwise, not to say foolish, act. We sincerely trust that the state editors will not leave Ann Arbor with the impression that this city is infested with dens of infamy and schools of vice, for such is very far from the case. If there was the slightest basis for Mr. Steere's charges, there would be no cause for this protest, but it is because the article is so manifestly unfair and exaggerated that the p'ress of the city wishes to denounce it as an attempt to inflame the prejudices of the visiting editors. Ordinarily the vaporings of temperance and other fanatics are little heeded, simply because all their statements of socalled existing facts are exaggerated and highly colored, with the mistaken idea that they will thus have more effect. As the representative of the students of the University, we enter a protest against Mr. Steere's charges, and we assure the visiting journalists that the statements contained in the article which accuse the students of all sorts of vices, are very far from the truth. Ann Arbor is one oí the best governed cities in the state. As the mayor stated on Tuesday evening, its pólice department is ridiculously small, and this in itself is sufficient evidence that the disorders complained of in this article are highly exaggerated. The town and the students invite the most careful investigation óf these charges and feel confident of the results. -

Q: Jasper Reports - HTML5 Reports(highcharts) - String Replace for Labels Hoping someone can help. Trying to do a string replace on the labels for my bar chart. So this is built on jasper studio and is a html5 report.
Trying to add the replace function as a javascript function in the report "Advanced Properties". Previously I have successfully set a function here for xAxis.labels.formatter to append labels,
"function(){return this.value.toString().substring(0,5)}"
I have tried to update this for string replace and came up with the below:
"function(){return this.value.toString().str.replace("Section7","W3Schools")}"
This is not working.I dont have much javascript experience and I have tried different formats of the above but no luck so far, any suggestions would be much appreciated?

A: Got it working. The replace function, works with the below:

*

*Set property name as:
xAxis.labels.formatter

*Use as expression:
true
3.Property Value:
"function(){return this.value.replace(\"Section 7\",\"W3Schools\")}"
Or
<hc:chartProperty name="xAxis.labels.formatter">
                        <hc:propertyExpression><![CDATA["function(){return this.value.replace(\"Section 7\",\"W3Schools\")}"]]></hc:propertyExpression>
                    </hc:chartProperty>
