“LoveLive! School Idol Project” has the main theme of “a story everyone realizes together” and which is distributed through a wide variety of platforms.
The school idols “Aqours” from the series “LoveLive! Sunshine!, held it’s first Asia fan-Meet titled “LoveLive! Sunshine!! Aqours Club Activity LIVE & FAN MEETING Trip to Asia - Landing Action Yeah!!-”. The Asia tour’s final destination was held with great fanfare at Taipei (Taiwan) held at 10 February 2018, attracting around 6000 fans on site attending it! This is the first time that all 9 members visited Taiwan together to meet with fans. The members specially took time to visit the night markets, sampled their long awaited bubble tea, bean curd**, sesame seed chicken soup and other sumptuous food, whom they all felt were extremely delicious.
**TL Note: Probably the dessert and not the drink
All the members of Aqours specially learned a few words of Mandarin Chinese and the Taiwanese to converse with their fans. At the start of the fan-meet Takami Chika (cv: Inami Anju) who was chosen as Taiwan’s image girl, greeted fans with “Hello Everyone/大家好” in both Mandarin and Taiwanese!
(Inami) Anju didn’t let the fans down, and did her call and response in Mandarin for all the fans live on stage: “It’s nice to meet everyone for the first time, I am the voice of Takami Chika, Inami Anju/初次見面大家好，我是飾演高海千歌的伊波杏樹”.
For Takatsuki Kanako (Voice of Kunikida Hanamaru) she instead shouted: “Thank you/謝謝” while at the same time hugged Kobayashi Aika (CV: Tsushima Yoshiko) on stage, the sight of every member being so adorably cute made the entire audience broke into cheers and applause.
As February 10 is Matsuura Kanan’s (cv: Suwa Nanaka) birthday, the members, in accordance with the requests from fans, wished her happy birthday in the roles that they are comprising! There were many fans who wrote in saying that after knowing of Aqours, they proceeded to know lovers and even more friends, and they even went to Japan, Numazu to participate in the events. All the members of Aqours even felt very touched that they were able to share this bond** with everyone.
Following closely with the segment “Drawing action Yeah!!”, the afternoon session had members drawing the subjects: “Golf”, “Baseball”, “Steam Engine Train”. “Otter”, “Frilled Neck Lizard”, “Ohara Mari”, “Gorilla”, “Rhinoceros Beetle”, “Statue of Liberty” and etc.
In the end the subject: “Frilled Neck Lizard” was unfortunately not guessed correctly, but after hearing the actual correct answer, the members felt that Takatsuki-san’s drawings were well done, how could they have not known!
**TL Note: Although the CN wrote it closer to “destiny” then “bond”, I decided to use bond as has a better context.
Afterwards it’s the segment: “Most Votes Landing action Yeah!!”**, the first scenario given was to have the members act out “I love you!/我愛你！(In mandarin)” in the guise of a sister that’s 5-6 years old against her older sister in front of the camera. No matter who it was, made the entire hall go crazy.
The second question posed to the audiences was to judge which delivery was cooler, the first scene was set between a couple with regards to a failed valentine chocolate. The boy would have to tell the girl: “It’s alright, compared to chocolates I would rather taste you instead. The scene was enacted with Furihata Ai (cv: Kurosawa Ruby) as the boyfriend, and she would have to enact the line in reaction to the different members with different respective personalities.
Another scenario was with Inami Anju acting as the boyfriend welcoming the girlfriend home, with the other 8 members as the girlfriend saying: “Welcome back”. Regardless of whether it was matched with “leaning one’s head against the shoulders” or “holding the shoulders” prompt, or any other prompts, every action was so devilishly cool that it rocked the entire floor and caused the members to keep saying: “That’s so cool!”. At the very end, Inami Anju was acting the role of the girlfriend, and said: “I’m home” with the other members before rushing towards them and hugging together.
**TL Note: A segment where they had to act out certain scenes to get votes from audiences
Finally was this fan-meet’s most hyped up segment, the concert. Takatsuki Kanako said: “This particular’s fanmeet has areas/scenes where it’ll be done especially closer (to audiences), this is to let all the fans see clearly that everyone’s outfit on stage has slightly different designs as compared to the carefully crafted animated designs~” They performed many songs in a row, the penultimate song was decided by the color of the fan’s kingblades, and the song decided in the final afternoon show was “Taiyou o Oikakero!”, and the final song performed was “Landing action Yeah!!”.
They shouted their thanks to the fans: “I love you!”**, and finally used mandarin to say to the fans: “Goodbye!/再見”, and brought the day’s performance to a close.
**TL Note: The TL mentioned that Aqours were “touched” as they said goodbye, but I couldn’t make it fit into the sentence. FYI please.

110 Strikes Prevented-Department Failed to Conciliate in Only Fourteen Cases.

Ottawa, Nov. 30. - The annual report of the Department of Labor notes an upward tendency in wages attended by an increase in the cost of living. The success of the Industrial Disputes Act is indicated in the fact that in five years 124 disputes. in which it was invoked, have arisen, and only in 14 cases did the conciliatory proceedings fail to prevent a strike. Last year there were 97 industrial disputes, as against 94 in the year previous. Building trades predominated in these difficulties.
The report explains and reviews at length the work of the department, an important feature of which is the regular investigation and reports of wholesale prices in relation to the cost of living.
The uncertainty of the Canadian naval policy has done much to curtail the activity of the naval service department in the last financial year, according to the annual report just published. No special effort to obtain recruits has been made, and all told they number 349. Of this number 111 recruits and 38 others deserted. Many of them came from inland points, disliked sea life and quit. The appropriation in the year was $3,000,000 and the expenditure $1,233,456. Considerable incidental work was done on dockyards, but this, too, was curtailed because of uncertainty as to the naval policy.
Crew for a show can alternate much more than a cast does. This could very well be Shay’s last time with Elizabeth, she works on other shows and because of scheduling or options (knowing now versus confirmation later) Shay may not be back for a potential season 6. This is the same with Wendi, and basically everyone else. It was the same when Ann Foley left, It’s the same for writer and literally everyone on set. All of the goodbyes could be permanent, but are not a good indication that the show is cancelled and they just aren’t telling us. We’re not going to find out on insta sorries. And besides, all of the videos seem to be more of a jovial ‘sad’, than an actual sad.
Warrior training does not mix with alchemical experimentation. The use of invisibility potion effect is broken when landing TOO HARD upon any ground surface, when performing long jumping to cross deep bodies of river-- because we all know plate sinks. This conflict of two interest (Being me and Alchemy) make subtly difficult. And me look like a fucking jackass.
I encountered the group I sought out in the desolate waste-fall of Deadwind Pass. A few seemed to be engaged in a less than friendly brawl and my presence seemed undesirable. All ignored me, save for one. A Miss Ane, who could have benefited from a loosening of her corset and a drink I didn’t offer.
They all belonged to House…. some fucking name I can’t begin how to spell, which is the same name as a Lord who wanted me to go play fetch with his lost loyalist. I said I’d think about it and I did, which was I wasn’t going to play fucking hunting party for what appeared and sounded like a routine thing. Maybe she just ran away? Maybe she went with whoever took her? Maybe she’s a star crossed lover running away from daddy to be with her forbidden sex-toy.
There are no fewer orc shits I could honestly give, by the end of the night.
To conclude this overall brief reprisal. House…. whoever the fuck they were again… is pointedly a “Family” which means whatever you are asked to do, you aren’t paid for. You aren’t a mercenary for hire, which given the last two-hundred years under the Alkeheist banner that I’ve served, has been all that I am.
I find no real threat is posed in any form this stew of rejected murloc slop. They’re quick to tear each others throats out and like children, resilient, yet abiding to listen to “Big Papa Lordy”. They’ll cause more problems internally, more mortal wounds brawling, than I can ever fathom reaching beyond their ‘tight knit circle’.
Forty children from northern Iraq's Yazidi minority are reported to have died as a result of a jihadist attack on the Sinjar region, the United Nations Children's Fund said Tuesday. "According to official reports received by UNICEF, these children from the Yazidi minority died as a direct consequence of violence, displacement and dehydration over the past two days," a statement said. On Sunday, fighters from the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group that controls much of northwestern Iraq took over Sinjar, which had been under the control of Kurdish troops. The town, near the Syrian border, is a hub for Iraq's Yazidis, a very closed community that follows an ancient faith rooted in Zoroastrianism and referred to by jihadists as "devil worshippers".
