"Every copy of physical version of AAA magazine has special trading cards and you can play the great strategic game with several cards. (the upcoming issues also include this card series. Every issue has 9 or more different cards, every copy comes with 3 of them) So if you already have several copies of physical version of AAA magazine, now you need rule book. Sorry and unfortunately, we now only have Japanese version of the rule book. Since our English translating partners are not a fan of game, they are not sure if their translation is fine. Thus, Today we need your "GAME GEEKs" help to translate it to English version!

Are there any Game Geek volunteers for this translation work!? (Please contact us, if you can.)"

"My meeting just ended... Well then, I tweeted this at the time of the release of the tenth volume of Blood Alone, but I have a fairly sad announcement to make. I'm very sorry to have to make it.
The “serialization” of Blood Alone in Evening will end this spring. I apologize for my lack of power in this situation... ….However, since the story has only just entered the climax, I will continue to write the manga after its serialization has ended, and will finish it through selling dojinshi (self-published books) and digital books (the number of pages remaining in the manga will take up around four compiled volumes).
I would like to do my best release the remainder of Blood Alone in digital and physical forms with the ideas of “low price” and “simplicity to obtain.” I suppose I will sell the eleventh volume continuing the series as a dojinshi at the Comitia event in May."

"We have been searching for a brilliant technical solution for these past months, but the short answer is this: Blu-ray is a lousy format for subtitles. Pop-up menus are buggy and don’t work on a lot of Blu-ray players. And, overlapping subtitles don’t look very good, as explained here by Justin Sevaki – who has recently come on-board to handle the Blu-ray authoring."

"Also, cats tend to be very affectionate - unless their guardian has been extremely neglectful or abusive, they naturally want to rub up against you and give you a good licking. Given how much time, effort, and stress it takes to get the average human girl to that stage, it's no wonder so many of us are just as attracted - if not more so - to Catgirls."

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property." Thomas Jefferson to Isaac McPherson, 13 Aug. 1813

"Results
21,967 respondents (13.4% weighted) reported lifetime psychedelic use. There were no significant associations between lifetime use of any psychedelics, lifetime use of specific psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, peyote), or past year use of LSD and increased rate of any of the mental health outcomes. Rather, in several cases psychedelic use was associated with lower rate of mental health problems.
Conclusion
We did not find use of psychedelics to be an independent risk factor for mental health problems."

Петиция:
"Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them
Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children, and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians."
Ответ:
"Working to Keep Everyone Safe
Thanks for your petition.
We live in a world where our elected leaders and representatives are subject to serious, persistent, and credible threats on a daily basis. Even those who are mere candidates in a national election become symbols of our country, which makes them potential targets for those seeking to do harm to the United States and its interests. In 1901, after the third assassination of a sitting President, Congress mandated that the President receive full-time protection, and that law is still in effect today. Because of it, those who are the subject of ongoing threats must receive the necessary and appropriate protection.
At the same time, all of us deserve to live in safer communities, which is why we need to take responsible, commonsense steps to reduce gun violence, even while respecting individual freedom. And let’s be clear: President Obama believes that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms. You can see him talk about that in a previous petition response.
But the common-sense steps the President has proposed don’t infringe in any way on our Second Amendment rights. We ought to be able to keep weapons of war off the streets. We ought to close the loopholes in the background check system that make it too easy for criminals and other dangerous people to buy guns — an idea that has the support of 90 percent of people in the United States.
That’s why the President and an overwhelming majority of Americans are calling on Congress to pass gun safety legislation that closes loopholes in the background check system and makes gun trafficking a federal crime..."

"We've been trying to find a professional Russian translator, and were trying to get back in touch with Reanimedia, without any success. In the meantime, Denis offered his services as a passionate fan, fan-subber, and also as a professional translator. We were impressed by his passion and dedication, and also because he translates directly from Japanese. But, we decided to ask our Kickstarter Russian backers before we made a final decision. So, yes, a few days ago, we sent an email to our Russian backers (sorry, it seems we missed you when we created the email list...)
Some people have been positive about hiring Denis, but other people, like you, are disappointed. But, we aren't having success in contacting Reanimedia, and we don't have any direct contact with Russian professional translators, so we didn't know what to do!
Fortunately, a few days ago, another Kickstarter backer from Russia gave us the direct contact info for one of Reanimedia's translators -- Nikolay Karaev. We got in touch with him yesterday, and are trying to work out his schedule. But he is out of town for a few days, and we won't have any news until later this week."

"Tokyo's Shinjuku Wald 9 theater was scheduled to host a Little Witch Academia event including a screening of the short, a making-of feature, and a talk show with director Yoh Yoshinari, scriptwriter Masahiko Otsuka, and producer Naoko Tsutsumi this month, but the event did not sell enough tickets to make it possible. In order to kick off the event, Studio Trigger needed to sell at least 200 of the 400 possible tickets, but sales ended on August 12 with only 94 tickets sold. The event would have occurred on August 22."
