Rurouni Kenshin (Japanese: るろうに剣心, Hepburn: Rurōni Kenshin) (also known as Rurouni Kenshin: Origins in North America) is a 2012 Japanese film adaptation. ![]() The film focuses on fictional events that take place during the early Meiji period in Japan, telling the story of a wanderer named Himura Kenshin, formerly known as the assassin Hitokiri Battōsai. After participating in the Bakumatsu war, Kenshin wanders the countryside of Japan offering protection and aid to those in need as atonement for the murders he once committed as an assassin. Rumors circulated of a live action adaptation of the manga before it was announced. In December of 1999, at the tender age of eleven, I received Donkey Kong 64. It was a birthday gift from my parents and even came with a shiny yellow controller. ![]() The Sankei Sports newspaper adds that the staff aims to release the film internationally and eventually make a series. This will be the first live- action adaptation of the manga. During the production, Nobuhiro offered his ideas for the movie, which were used in the filming.[3] The film was distributed internationally by Warner Bros. Rurouni Kenshin was theatrically released on August 2. Japan, grossing over $3. November 2. 01. 2. The film has been licensed for distribution in over 6. Europe, Latin America and Asia.[4] The movie premiered in North America as an opening selection for the 2. LA Eiga. Fest in December 1. On June 1. 4, 2. 01. Funimation Films announced that they acquired the rights to Rurouni Kenshin, as well as its sequels Kyoto Inferno and The Legend Ends.[citation needed] The film hit North American theatres in August 2. As the Imperialist forces celebrate their victory in the Battle of Toba- Fushimi, a participant known as Battōsai the Killsword walks away from the battlefield, abandoning his sword. But, the Battōsai's old katana is not left alone. It is claimed by one of the fallen, Udō Jin- e. A decade later, Saitō Hajime and his fellow policemen investigate the murder of an undercover cop supposedly by the hands of the Battōsai. But Saitō is not convinced and suspects Takeda Kanryū, a wealthy, but cruel businessman. Meanwhile, the former Battōsai (now calling himself Himura Kenshin) arrives in Tokyo. While roaming its streets, he meets Kamiya Kaoru, the owner of her late father's Kendo school. With her dojo's name smeared by one bearing the name of Battōsai, she attacks him believing him to be the famed killer, but is proven wrong when Kenshin reveals he only carries a "reverse- blade sword" (逆刃刀,sakabatō). Elsewhere, Takani Megumi, a woman forced to make opium for Takeda Kanryū, escapes and turns to the police for a safe haven after witnessing the deaths of the other opium makers. However, Udō Jin- e, under the service of Kanryū, hunts her down, slaying everyone in the police station. Luckily, she escapes in the ensuing chaos. Kaoru crosses paths with Jin- e, the actual perpetrator killing under her dojo's style of swordsmanship. Utterly no match for him, she is injured in the fight, but Kenshin appears out of nowhere and saves her. Jin- e immediately realizes Kenshin's hidden identity as the true Battōsai, before a swarm of policemen rush onto the scene, giving Kenshin and Kaoru a chance to flee. Kaoru leads Kenshin to her dojo where they will be safe. Later, a group of thugs under Takeda Kanryū attempt to take over the dojo. Kenshin beats down the entire gang without killing a single one before the police arrive. Kenshin takes the blame for the incident and gets himself arrested in order to help avoid Kaoru's dojo being blamed for the violence. Soon, Saitō recognizes him and releases him. After his release, he is greeted by Kaoru who knows Kenshin is not the Battōsai who had defamed her dojo and takes him back to the dojo. Kenshin afterward moves in with Kaoru and her only student, the boy Myōjin Yahiko. Still running on the streets for her life, Megumi runs into Yahiko who helps hide her and brings her to the dojo where she is introduced to everyone. Kaoru treats everyone to a sukiyaki dinner at the Akabeko restaurant, only to have the occasion spoiled by Kanryū coming and offering to hire Kenshin, who humbly declines. Here, he is challenged by Sagara Sanosuke for the job and they leave the establishment to fight. Later that evening, Jin- e goes on a killing spree leaving many corpses for the police to find the following day. Kenshin witnesses the horror, as well as a woman mourning the death of her lover. This evokes a memory for Kenshin from his years as an assassin when he witnessed a woman mourning a man that he had killed, a sword fight that left a scar on his face. Later that night, a masked man working for Kanryū warns Megumi of coming dangers. The next day the people around the dojo fall ill from rat poison contaminating the community wells. Megumi suspects it is Kanryū's doing and helps by providing medication for the victims. Angry at Kanryū, Megumi attempts to kill him, but fails and is instead held hostage by the wealthy drug- dealer. Besting all his men, Kenshin and Sanosuke attack Kanryū's mansion in hopes of rescuing Megumi. Saitō assists them to subdue Kanryū, who is armed with a Gatling gun. They rescue Megumi, but discover that Jin- e, the fake Battōsai and Kanryū's man, has kidnapped Kaoru. Kenshin pursues Jin- e. To further provoke Kenshin, Jin- e uses a special technique that paralyzes Kaoru's lungs and can only be undone with his death. After an intense battle, Kenshin critically injures Jin- e by shattering his elbow with his scabbard. Before Kenshin could land the killing blow, Kaoru overcomes the paralysis and stops Kenshin from killing Jin- e. Jin- e commits suicide, telling Kenshin before his last breath that he who lives by the sword must die by the sword, a re- occurring theme, counter to Kenshin's vow never to kill again. Kenshin, tired and wounded, carries the unconscious Kaoru back to the dojo. They rest, in the care of Megumi and Yahiko. Upon waking up, Kaoru does not see Kenshin and goes in search for him. She finds him carrying back some vegetables, and is relieved of her fear that he may have left permanently.

Produced by Warner Bros., with actual film production done by Studio Swan, the film was directed by Keishi Ōtomo and stars Takeru Satoh (of Kamen Rider Den- O fame) as Kenshin, Munetaka Aoki as Sanosuke Sagara and Emi Takei as Kaoru.[8] Ōtomo said he aimed to make the live- action more complex than the original manga version. He also found Satoh as a good fit for Kenshin's character after the two worked together in a previous film.[9] The film was released on August 2. After choosing Takeru Satoh as the lead, Producer Shinzō Matsuhashi commented, "Satoh has the looks and stature to be a proper Kenshin." Watsuki added that when this project was just starting, he and his wife were discussing who should play Kenshin, and decided that Satoh topped the list.[1. Satoh later commented, “The role of Kenshin is that of a well- known character, therefore, I think fascinating acting is needed. I would like to create the Kenshin image with the staff, while staying true to the details. I will try my best, so please look forward to it.”Nobuhiro Watsuki praised on Satoh being cast for the role: “When this project just started, my wife and I were talking about who would suit the role of Kenshin, and Satoh Takeru- san was the one who came up on our mind first. So, when it was confirmed (that Satoh will be taking the role), I was surprised, but was also very happy. A Brief @!#? ing History Of Swearing In Video Games. In December of 1. I received Donkey Kong 6. It was a birthday gift from my parents and even came with a shiny yellow controller, though sadly not the limited edition banana one. Regardless, I popped it in my N6. My thirteen- year- old brother and I watched as Donkey Kong and his band of misfit apes flailed about to the infamous “DK Rap.” Then came Chunky Kong, noted as “the last member of the D. K. Crew!” As we laughed at Chunky’s awkward attempts to grab an out- of- reach banana, the final line of his segment graced our young ears: “But this kong’s one HELL of a guy!”This piece originally appeared 6/2. We were both stunned. Did Nintendo just authorize a swear word? We were far from sheltered kids and had both seen our fair share of adult content, but not from video games. My parents had bought this game for me. This game with cursing. Obviously now, as an adult, I look back and laugh at how mild the word “hell” comes across in any situation, but to a prepubescent kid it was exciting and, dare I say, dangerous. Good thing my parents never bought me Conker’s Bad Fur Day or my brain would have melted. There are those who are put off by swearing, and while it’s still considered offensive by many it’s far from the worst thing you might see in a game today. Let’s take a look back at some of the titles that brought dirty words into the gaming spotlight and how some of them came to be. Cubes. Hot on the trail of arcade hits such as PAC- MAN and Donkey Kong was the cube- hopping puzzler known as Q*bert. The Gottlieb- produced title, which was originally named both Snots and Boogers and @!#?@! One of the most unique aspects of Q*bert was its implied swearing when players sent poor Q*bert to his doom. What he’s actually saying has never been revealed, but I’m sure anyone would curse their luck if a snake knocked them off a floating pile of blocks. The game’s audio engineer David Theil was assigned to make English phrases for the game using only a synthesizer. The Ultimate History of Video Games recounts how this process proved rather difficult and after many frustrating tests Theil decided it would be better and more fitting to just generate incoherent strings of sounds. Thus Q*bert’s oddly charming gibberish swearing was born. This swearing was revisited in the 2. Wreck- It Ralph, where Q*bert is seen as a homeless game character living in the surge protector known as Game Central Station. The bizarre symbols and noises are noted by Fix- It Felix as “Q*bertese,” implying that it was not cursing at all, but a foreign language. Land of the Rising Sin. The Famicom, Nintendo’s “family computer,” took Japan by storm in the mid ‘8. Many thought the video game craze was over after the devastating collapse of Atari and the average arcade scene in 1. Nintendo intended to prove everyone wrong and launched their influential home console that same year. Japanese games tend to be a bit zanier than your average title, and many times they feature bits of English. Often this text is a referred to as “engrish” due to its poor translation, improper spelling and grammatical errors. Well known examples being lines like “A Winner is You!” and “All your base are belong to us.” While many games presented information in broken sentences and phrases, only one title dropped the F- bomb right in your lap. Bakutoushi Patton- Kun, or “Explosive Fighter Patton” was released in 1. Famicom Disk System. This multiplayer tank game was known for its aggressive instructions which stated, “TURN TO SIDE B AND INSERT TO FUCKING BOX!” Ok, ok. Yeesh. No need to yell. Two years later a title appeared bearing the name Download. The NEC Avenue- developed game was made exclusively for the PC Engine, which you might know better as the Turbo. Grafx 1. 6. The game is barely known, and let me tell you that searching for a game named Download online is a special kind of hell. Download is a side scrolling shoot’em up set in the city of Kabukicho. The year is 2. 09. Syd, a man hell- bent on rescuing his lady friend Deva from the corrupt Kabukicho police. How does one do that? With a flying motorcycle that shoots lasers! The title is pretty standard fare for a game of that time and is considered a solid action experience. It’s when you fail that things get a little blue. While the game never saw a release in North America, it still had some seriously intense “Game Over” screens that appeared in English. The next time you mess something up and someone has the gall to tell you about it just frown and yell, “No shit! I got the wrong way!”The Damn That Got Away. Back in the late ‘8. Nintendo was an eccentric electronic juggernaut. According to the newly- released novel Console Wars the gaming giant controlled a thereafter unheard of 9. The Big N approached this power with cautious optimism, not wanting to become the next Atari. For this reason Nintendo set out to make sure all the titles for their new cash cow, the Nintendo Entertainment System, had quality gameplay and family friendly content. Games from Japan were heavily censored so as not to include too much violence, sexual content or swearing. But of course, some still made it through. The game Commando was already an arcade hit when its sequel was released on the NES and Famicom in 1. The game was dubbed Hitler’s Revival: Top Secret in Japan, and lord knows that wasn’t going to fly in America. The game’s name was changed to Bionic Commando and the gameplay itself differed greatly from its arcade father. All Nazi symbolism was changed for the North American release, yet the scene at the end of the game when Hitler’s head exploded stayed intact. Yep. That’s the one. Oh, and that isn’t Hitler. Capcom decided to change his name to “Master- D” for all regions outside Japan. Despite the name change, the loss of his Nazi attire and the lack of head exploding Master- D still managed to get a “Damn” past the North American censors. Of course, you had to beat the game to get to this fabled line of dialogue, but it was well worth it. Maybe the “D” in Master- D stands for “Damn.” I guess we’ll never know. Dirty Duke and a Foul- Mouthed Fantasy. While Duke Nukem was no stranger to guns and pixelated carnage, it wasn’t until he stepped into the world of 3. D in early 1. 99. Featuring nudity, graphic violence and some of the most memorable one- liners in gaming history, Duke Nukem 3. D took the world by storm. The game was developed by team of only eight to twelve people and went on to become one of the most influential titles of the late ‘9. While Duke’s classic dialogue—such as “Eat shit and die!” or “Life’s a bitch and then you die”—caused a small stir amongst parents and the pure at heart, it was actually Duke’s interaction with the ladies that caused the most controversy. The game was censored in various countries and on multiple ports, but it remains one of the most badass games to grace a PC. Hail to the king, baby! A year after Duke Nukem muscled his way into gamers’ hearts, a different kind of classic made its way to every RPG fan’s radar. Final Fantasy VII is hailed as one of the greatest role playing games of all time, with many citing it as their favorite title. While the game was not nearly as raunchy as some of the “Mature” rated outings, it still introduced a generation of Play. Station owners to some choice language. Most of the cursing in FF7 comes from Barrett Wallace or Cid Highwind, both of whom are integral characters in the game’s story and action. Almost nothing beyond “damn” and “hell” made it past the Q*Bert- esque censoring seen above, though in early versions of the game the word “shit” can be seen in all its glory. Later versions, such as the PC and “Greatest Hits” titles, have the word fully censored. Why this happened is unknown, though it’s most likely so the game could stay true to its “Teen” rating. But honestly, who gives a shit? A Rare Occurrence. Back in the late ‘9. Rareware could do no wrong. Goldeneye 0. 07, Banjo- Kazooie, Donkey Kong 6. Rare could deliver hit after hit on Nintendo’s 6. One of Rare’s early N6. Pro- AM 6. 4, a racing game that would be the follow- up to the popular NES series of the same name. Over time the game evolved into Diddy Kong Racing, a title whichalso featured playable critters Rare had been developing for other blockbuster hits. Among these were Banjo of Banjo- Kazooie fame, and the infamous Conker the Squirrel. In fact Conker was seen in his own game before he made an appearance in Diddy Kong Racing.

MTV (originally an initialism of Music Television) is an American cable and satellite televisionchannel owned by Viacom Media Networks (a division of Viacom) and headquartered in New York City. Launched on August 1, 1. VJs).[3] In its early years, MTV's main target demographic was young adults, but today it is primarily towards teenagers, particularly high school and college students. MTV has toned down its music video programming significantly in recent years, and its programming now consists mainly of original reality, comedy and drama programming and some off- network syndicated programs and films, with limited music video programming in off- peak time periods. It has also become involved in promoting left- wing political issues and progressive social causes. The network received criticism towards this change of focus, both by certain segments of its audience and musicians. MTV's influence on its audience, including issues involving censorship and social activism, has also been a subject of debate for several years. In recent years, MTV had struggled with the secular decline of music- related cable media. Its ratings had been said to be failing systematically, as younger viewers increasingly shift towards digital media, with yearly ratings drops as high as 2. MTV towards young audiences.[4][5][6] In April 2. MTV announced it would start to return to its original music roots with the reintroduction of the classic MTV series MTV Unplugged. After nine years off air, TRL will be returning in October 2. MTV has spawned numerous sister channels in the US and affiliated channels internationally, some of which have gone independent. As of January 2. 01. American households in the United States received MTV.[8]History[edit]Previous concepts (1. Several earlier concepts for music video- based television programming had been around since the early 1. The Beatles had used music videos to promote their records starting in the mid- 1. The creative use of music videos within their 1. A Hard Day's Night, particularly the performance of the song "Can't Buy Me Love", led MTV later on June 2. Richard Lester with an award for "basically inventing the music video".[9]In his book The Mason Williams FCC Rapport, author Mason Williams states that he pitched an idea to CBS for a television program that featured "video- radio", where disc jockeys would play avant- garde art pieces set to music. CBS rejected the idea, but Williams premiered his own musical composition "Classical Gas" on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, where he was head writer. In 1. 97. 0, Philadelphia- based disc jockey. Bob Whitney created The Now Explosion, a television series filmed in Atlanta and broadcast in syndication to other local television stations throughout the United States. The series featured promotional clips from various popular artists, but was canceled by its distributor in 1. Several music programs originating outside of the US, including Australia's Countdown and the United Kingdom's Top of the Pops, which had initially aired music videos in lieu of performances from artists who were not available to perform live, began to feature them regularly by the mid- 1. In 1. 97. 4, Gary Van Haas, vice president of Televak Corporation, introduced a concept to distribute a music video channel to record stores across the United States, and promoted the channel, named Music Video TV, to distributors and retailers in a May 1. Billboard.[1. 0][1. The channel, which featured video disc jockeys, signed a deal with US Cable in 1. The service was no longer active by the time MTV launched in 1. Pre- history (1. 97. In 1. 97. 7, Warner Cable a division of Warner Communications and the precursor of Warner- Amex Satellite Entertainment launched the first two- way interactive cable television system named QUBE in Columbus, Ohio. The QUBE system offered many specialized channels. One of these specialized channels was Sight on Sound, a music channel that featured concert footage and music- oriented television programs. With the interactive QUBE service, viewers could vote for their favorite songs and artists. The original programming format of MTV was created by media executive Robert W. Pittman, who later became president and chief executive officer (CEO) of MTV Networks.[1. Pittman had test- driven the music format by producing and hosting a 1. Album Tracks, on New York City television station WNBC- TV in the late 1. Pittman's boss Warner- Amex executive vice president John Lack had shepherded Pop. Clips, a television series created by former Monkee- turned solo artist Michael Nesmith, whose attention had turned to the music video format in the late 1. The inspiration for Pop. Clips came from a similar program on New Zealand's TVNZ network named Radio with Pictures, which premiered in 1. The concept itself had been in the works since 1. New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation with promotional music clips to play on the air at no charge. Few artists made the long trip to New Zealand to appear live. On Saturday, August 1, 1. Eastern Time, MTV launched with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken by John Lack and played over footage of the first Space Shuttle launch countdown of Columbia (which took place earlier that year) and of the launch of Apollo 1. Those words were immediately followed by the original MTV theme song, a crunching rock tune composed by Jonathan Elias and John Petersen, playing over the American flag changed to show MTV's logo changing into various textures and designs. MTV producers Alan Goodman and Fred Seibert used this public domain footage as a concept; [1. Seibert said that they had originally planned to use Neil Armstrong's "One small step" quote, but lawyers said that Armstrong owned his name and likeness and that he had refused, so the quote was replaced with a beeping sound.[1. A shortened version of the shuttle launch ID ran at the top of every hour in various forms, from MTV's first day until it was pulled in early 1. Challenger disaster.[1. The first music video shown on MTV was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star", originally only available to homes in New Jersey.[1. This was followed by the video for Pat Benatar's "You Better Run". Sporadically, the screen would go black when an employee at MTV inserted a tape into a VCR.[1. MTV's lower third graphics that appeared near the beginning and end of music videos would eventually use the recognizable Kabel typeface for about 2. But these graphics differed on MTV's first day of broadcast; they were set in a different typeface and included information such as the year and record label name. As programming chief, Robert W. Pittman recruited and managed a team for the launch that included Tom Freston (who succeeded Pittman as CEO of MTV Networks), Fred Seibert, John Sykes, Carolyn Baker (original head of talent and acquisition),[1. Marshall Cohen (original head of research),[2. Gail Sparrow (of talent and acquisition), Sue Steinberg (executive producer),[2.

Pook and Robin Zorn; Steve Casey (creator of the name "MTV" and its first program director),[2. Marcy Brafman, Ronald E. Buzz" Brindle, and Robert Morton. Kenneth M. Miller is credited as being the first technical director to officially launch MTV from its New York City- based network operations facility.[2. MTV's effect was immediate in areas where the new music video channel was carried. Within two months, record stores in areas where MTV was available were selling music that local radio stations were not playing, such as Men at Work, Bow Wow Wow and the Human League.[2. MTV sparked the Second British Invasion, with British acts, who had been accustomed to using music videos for half a decade, featuring heavily on the channel.[2. Original VJs and format (1.

Victims of trafficking. As noted in paragraph 1. Second and Third Periodic Report, victims who are considered to have been subjected to a severe form of trafficking in persons, and who meet several other criteria, may be eligible for immigration relief, including “Continued Presence,” a form of temporary immigration relief available during the pendency of an investigation or prosecution, and the “T visa.” The T visa is a self- petitioning visa provided under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). If granted, a T visa provides the alien with temporary permission to reside in the United States for up to four years, with some exceptions, and the victim may be eligible to apply for lawful permanent resident status (a “green card”) after three years. The person also receives an authorization permit to work in the United States. Certain immediate family members of the T visa holder may qualify for derivative immigration relief as well. Upon identification as victims of trafficking, all such victims may be eligible for victim services provided by non- governmental victim service programs, as well as by Victim/Witness Coordinators and Specialists at the local and state levels. To be eligible to apply for federal benefits to the same degree as a refugee, alien victims require “certification” by the HHS (which requires adult victims to have Continued Presence, a bona fide T visa application, or an approved T visa). Minor alien victims can be “certified” by HHS immediately upon identification, regardless of the status of immigration relief. In addition to the T visa, the U visa, described above, is a form of immigration relief available to victims of human trafficking. On July 2. 2, 2. 01. DHS launched the “Blue Campaign,” a first- of- its- kind initiative to coordinate and enhance the Department’s efforts to combat human trafficking. The Blue Campaign leverages the varied authorities of DHS component agencies to deter human trafficking by increasing awareness, protecting victims, and contributing to a robust criminal justice response. The campaign is led by an innovative cross- component steering committee, chaired by the Senior Counselor to the Secretary and comprised of representatives from 1. DHS. To help citizens learn to identify and properly report indicators of human trafficking, the Department launched public outreach tools, including a new, comprehensive one- stop website for the Department’s efforts to combat human trafficking: www. The Blue Campaign also features new training initiatives for law enforcement and DHS personnel, enhanced victim assistance efforts, and the creation of new partnerships and interagency collaboration. In 2. 01. 1, the Blue Campaign began broadcasting public service awareness announcements via television and print displays. The DOJ Office for Victims of Crime (DOJ/OVC) also administers grant programs to address the needs of the victims of human trafficking. These programs are authorized under the TVPA of 2. TVPA in 2. 00. 3, 2. Programs funded by DOJ/OVC have traditionally focused on providing services to alien victims even during the pre- certification period in order to address emergency and immediate needs of these victims before they are eligible for other benefits and services. In 2. 00. 9, OVC expanded the trafficking victim service program to also provide specialized services to U. S. citizens and legal permanent residents, under age 1. TVPA. Article 7 – Freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In addition to U. S. obligations under the ICCPR, torture is absolutely prohibited by the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Convention Against Torture), by customary international law, and by U. S. domestic law, which prohibits acts of torture both inside and outside the United States, and at both the federal and state levels (see paragraphs 1. Initial Report). Torture and cruel treatment in armed conflict are also prohibited by the Geneva Conventions of 1. On March 7, 2. 01. United States also confirmed its support for Additional Protocol II and Article 7. Additional Protocol I to the 1. Geneva Conventions, which contain fundamental humane treatment protections for individuals detained in international and non- international armed conflicts. U. S. commitments to ensuring compliance with the prohibition on torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment are addressed further in the discussion of Article 9 (Liberty and Security of Person) and in Part III. U. S. obligations concerning Article 3 of the Convention Against Torture are addressed in the discussion under Article 1. As discussed in paragraph 1. Initial Report, a range of federal and state laws prohibit conduct constituting torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The Eighth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishments for convicted inmates. Cruel and unusual punishments include uncivilized and inhuman punishments, punishments that fail to comport with human dignity, and punishments that include physical suffering, including torture. Furman v. Georgia, 4. U. S. 2. 38 (1. 97. Brown v. Plata, 1. S. Ct. 1. 91. 0 (2. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clauses prohibit, inter alia, governmental action that “shocks the conscience,” including acts of torture and cruel treatment, Rochin v. California, 3. 42 U. S. 1. 65 (1. 95. 2), as well as punishing persons without first convicting them under appropriate standards. The Fourteenth Amendment applies both of these Amendments to the conduct of state officials. Under 1. 8 U. S. C. Violations of 1. 8 U. S. C. 2. 42 can occur for conduct less severe than conduct that falls within the scope of “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” under Article 7 of the ICCPR. In particular, violations of the Fourth Amendment, including unreasonable seizure discussed further under Article 9 below, do not necessarily fall within the scope of Article 7 obligations.) Violations of the prohibition on torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment are also prohibited under other federal and state laws, and could be prosecuted, for instance, as aggravated assault or battery or mayhem; homicide, murder or manslaughter; kidnapping; false imprisonment or abduction; rape, sodomy or molestation; or as part of an attempt, a conspiracy or a criminal violation of an individual’s civil rights. Civil actions may also be brought in federal or state court under the federal civil rights statute, 4. U. S. C. 1. 98. 3, directly against state or local officials for money damages or injunctive relief. Such civil bases for relief are described in greater detail in Part III of this report, below. The Detainee Treatment Act of 2. United States Government, regardless of nationality or physical location,” Codified at 4. U. S. C. 2. 00. 0dd. Lastly, coincident with the entry into force of the Convention Against Torture, the United States enacted the Torture Convention Implementation Act, codified at 1. U. S. C. 2. 34. 0A, which gave effect to obligations assumed by the United States under Article 5 of the Convention Against Torture. Learn C# Tutorials.

It’s increasingly difficult to do anything on your phone nowadays without sharing your geolocation information. Certain Snapchat filters, Facebook status updates, Instagrams, and even text messages are all potentially tied to geolocation data. It’s relatively simple for app developers to build in geolocation functionality—and many services require users to opt- in to sharing location data. We have told you not to stare at the Sun today. We have told you to use safety glasses. We have tried so very hard, and we are so very tired. Brown_freq worrisome worry worry-worryin worrying worse worsened worsens worship worshiped worshipful worshiping worshipped worshippers worshipping worst worst-marked. Introduction Amraphel "King of Shinar" (Gen 14) bowing to the false Scapegoat "Azazel" is the Amorite King Hammurabi, the Code of Hammurabi, derived from the Laws of. But now the state of Illinois wants ensure that all companies extracting geolocation data from individuals must provide an opt- in, or else they’ll have to pay up. Last week, both houses of the Illinois state legislature passed the Geolocation Privacy Protection Act (HB3. Now, it’s on the desk of Governor Bruce Rauner, waiting to be signed into law. If signed, companies would be required to inform users of how they’re using the location data they collect, if the users decides to share it. Companies who don’t adhere would be in violation of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act and would face criminal penalties and damages of at least $1,0. There are a few exceptions to the law. For instance, private entities can collect geolocation data without consent if the information will help parents find missing children or aid firefighters, police, or medical professionals. The new law might not have a huge real- world impact, given that most devices and apps already ask people for permission before they start using location data. But this might encourage more tech companies and app developers to give users the option to opt out of being tracked. There have been plenty of times in the past when companies have faced repercussions for tracking users without their consent. For instance, Apple and Uber have been sued for allegedly tracking un- notified users. Ari Scharg, director of the Digital Privacy Alliance (DPA), told Gizmodo that the organization has done reports on the apps Selfie. Rate Selfie Pic Hot Or Not, which give developers precise GPS coordinates whenever a person uploads a photo.“When a person is just browsing through the photos to rate them, if they were intercepting the backend traffic, they would be able to get the GPS coordinates of each person they viewed,” Scharg said. Overall, a person could use this information to stalk someone or the owner of the picture could retaliate against a person that left a bad comment if they were capturing the traffic.”The DPA urges app developers to be transparent with users by clarifying how location data is being used. The organization has been advocating for the bill, and even wrote an open letter to Governor Rauner, which was signed by more than 2. ![]() Chicago- area tech companies. Illinois has a reputation of passing strict data privacy legislation. The state’s Biometric Information Privacy Act prohibits tech companies from using biometric identifiers—like face scans and fingerprints—without consent. Their Right To Know Act—which passed in May, but was put on hold—requires companies such as Facebook, Amazon, and Google to disclose what data has been collected from consumers and shared with third parties.[Naked Security].

For me that means chugging a glass of water, walking the dog, making a quick protein- rich breakfast, then having a cup of strong black coffee. After that, I sit down to scan for important emails, check Slack, put on some music that matches my mood that day, then get started writing. It hasn’t changed much for me in the last few years. But come afternoon, my energy dips. I’m still full from lunch (food coma time), I’m drained from my morning writing session, my focus starts to fade so I start to mindlessly browse the internet, and my video games and Netflix queue are whispering sweet nothings in my ear. You probably know the feeling. The afternoon is when distractions have the most power—you’re fatigued, irritable, and way more impulsive. So I had to come up with a routine that kept me productive in the afternoon yet still acknowledged my natural workflow. Here’s what I recommend. Get Up and Move.

Libro electrónico - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre. Lector de libros electrónicos Kindle Paperwhite de Amazon. Un Irving electrónico,[1] libro digital o ciberlibro, conocido en inglés como e- book o e. Book, es la versión o evolución electrónica o digital de un libro. Es importante diferenciar el libro electrónico o digital de uno de los dispositivos más popularizados para su lectura: el lector de libros electrónicos, o e- reader, en su versión inglesa. Minelli- de Oliveira, Camacho- i Martí y Gisbert- Cervera afirman que las nuevas tecnologías ofrecen diferentes posibilidades para el aprendizaje. La definición de libro electrónico de Vassiliou y Rowley (2. Vassiliou y Rowley (2. Desde esta perspectiva los libros electrónicos tienen características como la búsqueda de términos y las referencias cruzadas, enlaces a hipertextos, anotaciones, subrayado, objetos multimedia y herramientas interactivas.[2]Generalidades[editar]Algunos autores proponen que se debe hacer una distinción entre los libros electrónicos y el hipertexto. El hipertexto está destinado a la estructuración de la información a través de enlaces, mientras que un libro electrónico se ha definido como la versión digital de un libro. Aunque esta definición solía referirse a libros editados inicialmente en papel, cada vez es mayor el número de libros electrónicos que no tienen una edición impresa en origen. Un ejemplo de hipertexto sería Wikisource y uno de libro electrónico, cualquier libro en formato digital que pueda encontrarse en Internet o en cualquier dispositivo de almacenamiento de datos. Podemos encontrar los libros de texto fluido y de maquetación fija. Los libros de texto fluido son aquellos que nos permiten modificar la apariencia del texto por medio del lector que usemos, podemos cambiar su tamaño, color, interlineado y márgenes. En cambio en los de maquetación fija, vemos los contenidos fijos de alguna manera, sin hablar de las características interactivas que éste pudiera contener, vemos un diseño que no podemos alterar. El libro electrónico es un recurso informativo de reciente inserción en el universo de la ciencia, la tecnología, la educación y la cultura. Hasta el momento los e- Books representan el último paso cumplido por las editoriales en tema de edición digital: un tipo de ordenador personal con una pantalla táctil de alta definición y un sistema de menús con uso de comandos básicos.[1. Existen muchos dispositivos que pueden ser utilizados como lector de libros electrónicos: PC, PDA, portátil, y en general cualquier dispositivo que posea pantalla y memoria. Sin embargo, a finales de la primera década del siglo XXI comenzaron a aparecer dispositivos cuya función era servir exclusivamente para la lectura de libros electrónicos. Estos dispositivos se caracterizan por un diseño que permite emular la versatilidad del libro de papel tradicional. Así, se buscó movilidad y autonomía (dispositivos móviles con bajo consumo de energía para permitir lecturas prolongadas sin necesidad de recargas), pantallas con dimensiones suficientes para mostrar documentos tradicionales (un A4 o un A5) y alto nivel de contraste incluso a plena luz del día. En este contexto aparece la tinta electrónica, que tiene un "efecto papel" (debido a la ausencia de iluminación propia y alto contraste obtenido) y su bajo consumo (pues esta tecnología no necesita alimentación más que en los cambios de pantalla). Ejemplos de estos dispositivos son el i. Liad (fabricado por i. Rex y primer dispositivo comercializado en España desde 2. Reader (PRS- 5. 00 y PRS- 5. Sony, el Han.

Entre las potencialidades que ofrece el libro electrónico, se pueden mencionar las siguientes: enorme capacidad de almacenamiento de información como la posibilidad de transportarla en grandes volúmenes.[1.

Ventajas y desventajas de los lectores electrónicos[editar]El libro electrónico posee tanto ventajas como desventajas. No obstante, es necesario distinguir entre el lector (un aparato electrónico con una memoria capaz de almacenar cientos de libros electrónicos) y el libro electrónico en sí, que no es más que un archivo de computadora en un formato específico PDF, MOBI, EPUB, etc. Entre las ventajas derivadas del uso de los lectores electrónicos se pueden citar varias: [5][6]Con ellos se puede leer casi cualquier documento en cualquier lugar. Al utilizar la tecnología de tinta electrónica no tiene retroiluminación, como es el caso de otros dispositivos de mano (tabletas, computadoras o teléfonos móviles). La experiencia es pues similar a leer un libro en papel: sin cansancio alguno para la vista, lo que permite por tanto prolongar la lectura durante horas. La accesibilidad es otro de los puntos fuertes del libro electrónico. Los lectores más avanzados del mercado ofrecen conexión a Internet, con lo que pueden conectarse con los principales portales de venta de libros electrónicos, así como descargarse las ediciones electrónicas de diarios o revistas convencionales. Los lectores que emplean la tecnología de tinta electrónica consumen muy poca batería debido a carecer de retroiluminación: el mayor consumo se produce con el paso de las páginas, por lo que la duración de la misma es muy alta. South Korea May Ask US to Re- Deploy Its Nuclear Weapons. Tensions on the Korean peninsula between North Korea and virtually every other country in the region continue to escalate in the wake of its possible detonation of a hydrogen bomb this weekend. Now the situation seems poised to escalate even further, with South Korean Defense Minister Song Young- moo investigating the possibility of having the US plant its nukes back on the demilitarized zone’s doorstep. Per the Washington Post, Song informed a parliamentary committee he told Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis that “It would be good for strategic assets to be sent regularly to the Korean Peninsula and that some South Korean lawmakers and media are strongly pushing for tactical nuclear weapons.”“The redeployment of tactical nuclear weapons is an alternative worth a full review,” Song added, though according to the Post did not mention Mattis’ response. The US used to have approximately 1. South Korea but pulled them out in 1. President George H. W. Bush approved the Presidential Nuclear Initiative, the Post noted. While both North and South Korea then agreed to keep nuclear weaponry off the peninsula, North Korea claims having US nuclear umbrella protection is a de facto violation of South Korea’s commitment, and its own program is a clear violation. US and South Korean forces are definitely technically capable of decimating the North Korean military with conventional methods alone, though not without weeks or months of troop deployment and potentially gruesome consequences such as mass shelling of South Korea’s capital, Seoul. Deploying nuclear weapons to the peninsula would cut down the time it would take to retaliate or launch a preemptive strike against North Korea, but it could also dramatically increase the chance of a hasty or mistaken nuclear launch. According to the Post, US security experts are “almost universally opposed” to moving nukes back onto the peninsula. But this is an era where Donald Trump’s administration has given freewheeling powers to top military commanders and is openly matching North Korea’s threats to wipe each other off the map, so it’s not exactly impossible. Even if the nukes are not re- deployed, there remain clear signs of preparation for conflict. Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae- in have agreed to remove caps on South Korean missile payloads, while Wired recently reported the latter’s military has been rapidly moving to install more Terminal High- Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) stations, which use kinetic energy (another projectile) to strike down medium- range missiles. While Moon favors a peaceful solution, the New York Times reported, he is being pressured by both a White House and domestic conservative opposition eager to aggressively respond to North Korean provocations.

The Wiggles: Greg Page wears the yellow jumper‘Normally, to compensate for this, our heart rate has to go up slightly to keep the blood pushing up to the brain, and the blood vessels in the legs constrict to push the blood around. However, in people with orthostatic intolerance this mechanism doesn’t work quickly enough.‘So whenever they stand up they feel faint and breathless because their blood pressure drops and their heart rate races, so not enough blood gets to the brain. Some people [like Greg] may feel breathless too — it’s the body’s way of trying to get more oxygen.‘In those with mild symptoms, this will only last for a few seconds. However, some people have both orthostatic intolerance and another condition called vasovagal syncope [where the heartbeat suddenly slows down]; this causes problems not when getting up to stand, but on standing. They suddenly just keel over and faint.’Another common symptom is feeling light- headed and tired after a meal, as extra blood goes to the gut, thus limiting blood supply to the brain.‘They may also feel dreadful after exercise because all the blood is going to their muscles and not the rest of their body,’ says Professor Newton. Many people feel permanently exhausted and have trouble sleeping too, possibly because your blood pressure drops naturally at night and for people with orthostatic intolerance their blood pressure drops so low that they can’t reach a deep sleep.’(The symptoms are similar for low blood pressure, the difference is that with low blood pressure they occur whatever the patient is doing, even if just sitting still.) Orthostatic intolerance is often triggered by a virus such as glandular fever and most commonly occurs in the under- 3. Another possible trigger is surgery, as a result of the stress this puts on the body. Greg’s orthostatic intolerance could be linked to a hernia operation he had a year before his collapse. However, it is four times more common in women than men and most women say that their symptoms get worse around the time of their period or the menopause, which suggests there is a hormonal link,’ adds Professor Newton. People with auto- immune conditions where the body attacks itself, such as diabetes, are more prone to the condition and it is a recognised complication of Parkinson’s disease. Orthostatic intolerance can also cause memory problems and increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke as it reduces blood supply to the brain and heart — so early diagnosis is vital. The simple test involves lying down for ten minutes. Patients are then asked to stand up and if their heart rate increases to more than 1. However, often this diagnosis is hard to come by. This is a new disease, so some GPs and even consultants don’t know what to look for,’ says Professor Newton. Also, you need to use a blood pressure monitor on to the finger to measure each heartbeat. However, most GP surgeries and some hospitals only use blood pressure monitors that strap around the arm and have to be inflated, by which time the tell- tale drop in blood pressure might be missed.‘Consequently many people don’t get a correct diagnosis. Some get told they have anxiety — and 3. I see diagnosed with chronic fatigue, or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), actually have orthostatic intolerance when we diagnose them properly.‘So if you suffer from blackouts, or light- headedness when you stand up, go to your doctor and mention orthostatic intolerance.’'Five years ago I felt terrible and had no energy but now I feel I can handle this again'Greg lived with his symptoms for 1. I would come off stage and my bandmates would say: “Hey look, Greg’s got the shakes again” but because it went on for that long I didn’t think anything of it,’ he says. His diagnosis came as a relief, even though he had never heard of the condition. He’s been told it may be partly due to the fact he suffers from hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which he was diagnosed with aged 3. It meant I would sweat a lot even in winter — it was a major cause of embarrassment,’ he says. I was losing so much fluid that it would have reduced my blood pressure and made the symptoms worse.’There is no single cure but self- help measures include drinking two and a half litres of fluid a day to provide a good volume of blood to keep blood pressure up. We check what tablets people are on, as for example blood pressure lowering medication, diuretics or anti- depressants could all make things worse,’ says Professor Newton.‘People are also encouraged to do sharp squeezes of their leg muscles before they stand up to try and move the blood back into the circulation. If that doesn’t work, then medication such as fludrocortisone or midodrine can be prescribed — these help the body retain salt and so push blood pressure up. Greg ensures he drinks plenty of fluids and that he does not stand up too quickly or for too long. We used to do appearances at stores and things and I would be on my feet for about an hour and think I was going to pass out.‘Now I keep shifting my weight from one foot to another to keep the blood pumping. The only medication I took was fludrocortisone. I was on it for about 1. He now feels so in control of his condition that he’s just re- joined The Wiggles and will take part in the forthcoming tour of the UK.‘Five years ago I felt terrible and had no energy but now I feel I can handle this again,’ he says. I’m also really enjoying being with my family more now I have energy.’Greg is keen to improve awareness of orthostatic intolerance. He says: ‘I heard from a man the other day who had been to see his doctor who said: “Ah, Yellow Wiggle syndrome”. The Best OCR Software | PCMag. Paper hasn't gone away. You've probably noticed that even in the digital era you still have stacks of hard- copy printouts, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, invoices, bills, and other paper that you have to search through by hand, one page at a time. Or you need to get an old essay that you typed or printed years ago into digital format, and you're dreading retyping it. This is where OCR (Optical Character Reading) software becomes more of a necessity than a luxury. OCR creates searchable, editable text from printed documents—and also from photos of printed documents, or PDFs made from scanning old books and papers. The more paper documents you have, the more you need OCR. ![]() When to OCRYou use OCR for two basic functions: archiving documents or repurposing documents. For archiving, you'll typically feed your documents (receipts, business cards, handouts, or anything else) into your scanner and let your OCR software create searchable PDF files that show a scanned image of the original document but also contain—hidden underneath the scanned image—text that you can copy from the PDF and paste into other applications, or that you can search for when you need to find the original. For repurposing, OCR typically converts a printed table into an Excel spreadsheet, or an old book either into a PDF with searchable text hidden under the page images or into a word- processing document that you can edit and reuse. High- powered OCR software can also convert printed text into HTML files that anyone can view in a browser. Choosing OCR Software. When you choose an OCR app, you'll want to decide whether you want it to run automatically, interactively, or a combination of both. When an OCR app runs automatically, all you do is click a button, walk away, and come back to find your output files already created. “The most intuitive full featured accounting software I have ever used and I have used them all.” – Ken Morrison, The Celtic Bakery. When it runs interactively, you typically use image- enhancement tools to straighten or sharpen an image, layout tools to block out parts of a page that you don't want in the output, and then a proofreading tool to correct any misreadings by the software. With most apps, you can choose between automation and interaction by giving you a set of interactive tools and letting you decide which ones to use. But read or reviews to see how much freedom of choice you get with each individual app. Behind the Scenes. Behind the interface of every OCR app is built on a character- recognition engine that does the grunt work of converting images into text. The fanciest interface can't make up for the limits of a recognition engine that isn't consistently accurate—and it's no accident that our Editors' Choice products have the strongest available recognition engines. ![]() Business software designed to make work more effective and efficient.
