[Spar or fight] Realistic Melee

I haven't done a roleplay fight in a very long time and would like to try it again. I would like a melee fight with realistic human or humanlike characters.

Any weapon type from any culture is okay as long as it's reasonable and realistic. I will be using a katana for this fight.

Helping Boston stay strong: ?We Will Finish the Race?



>>> visa signature. your idea of what a card should be. is it.

>>> the two explosions that ripped into the city's iconic event, bringing people together to give comfort to each other in the hour of need. and a makeshift memorial in a sign of solidarity. this week, a marine who lost both legs in combat visited a hospital to inspire a mother and daughter. who never imagined how their lives would change. they both suffered serious injuries. celeste lost both legs.

>> i can't do anything right now.

>> right now, yes. but i'm telling you, with all my heart that you are going to be more independent than you ever were. this is basically the start. this is the new beginning for the both of you. and so many opportunities is going to come your way.

>> really?

>> you may want to do that one day.

>> the start of a new beginning. the marines help show both women the possibilities ahead. another victim, heather abbott found hope in a bedside visit from someone she did not know.

>> if someone had told me that i was going to have half a leg at the age of 38 before this happened, i think i would have never believed it. i think i would have been devastated and i really haven't had a moment yet of being devastated because i've gotten so much support from the hospital. i mean, the hospital's brought in individuals who are in the same situation as i am, they live normal lives, they were able to tell me about that, which has been great.

>> we've heard so many inspiring stories this week. including the story victoria who suffered life-altering injuries. she left the hospital this week. she's already on the road to recovery and ready to get back to normal life .

>> i want to go and have a home-cooked meal. i want to see my pets. i want to sleep in my own bed.

>> earlier this week, victoria had an emotional reunion with the stain injuries who risked their lives to save hers.

>> thanks for seeing us.

>> thank you.

>> they saved my life. you saved my life. otherwise, i would have bled out because it hit the artery.

Easton Bazzoli Dunk Shatters Backboard (VIDEO)

After Easton Bazzoli of Seneca Valley High School (Pa.) threw down a two-handed dunk during the Roundball Classic at Geneva College on Saturday night, the PA announcer said, "Well ladies and gentlemen, I think that about does it."

Why? Because Bazzoli pulled down the rim, shattering the backboard.

According to Mike White of post-gazette.com, the dunk occurred with a minute left in regulation and the refs stopped the game entirely.

On Tuesday, Bazzoli hinted that the dunk might be getting some more attention.

These Guys Are Selling Their Private Photo-Sharing App Divvy From The Back Of A VW Bus

divvybusBootstrapping founders, Jeremy Greenfield and Keyvon Olomi, have taken a non-traditional route to marketing their new photo aggregation and sharing application, Divvy. They’ve hopped into a 1973 VW camper bus and are on a cross-country road trip to tour colleges around the U.S., in an attempt to get the word out about the privacy options their app allows. They left April 1st from Tulsa, and are now in the New York tri-state area, with plans to hit up Boston, MIT, Harvard, and more, before heading to Denver in three weeks. Olomi, who’s also the founder of app development marketplace AppTank, says he built Divvy to scratch a few of his own itches: the hassles of moving between Facebook and Instagram to follow his friends’ photos, the?inability?to zoom in on Instagram photos, and the inability to save those photos. But he also thinks that more private photo sharing is something today’s younger users want. A desire for more private socializing has of course fueled the rise of messaging apps and new twists on photo-sharing, as with the “disposable” photo and video sharing on Shapchat, for example. But penetrating the space as a newcomer is always tough. That’s why Divvy starts off by selling itself as a photo aggregator first and foremost. Today, the app pulls in the feeds from Facebook and Instagram, with plans to support Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and Dropbox in the future. You can not only view your friends photos, but also like and comment on them using Divvy. This isn’t an entirely novel concept, since many apps and services have offered the combined albums experience, including Dropbox acquisition Snapjoy, Shutterfly acquisition ThisLife, Picturelife, Woven, Everpix, and even those not focused only on photos, like Flipboard, for example. What Divvy does differently is add its own photo-sharing features to the mix. Like a mini-social network of its own, friends can share photos to all their followers on Divvy, share selectively with individuals or groups, or share with nearby Divvy users – even if they don’t have their contact information. The nearby photo thing has been tried before too – with Color, most notably – but also with more under the radar options like Evertale’s Wink.?It’s a use case that doesn’t quite seem capable of supporting a standalone application of its own, so it makes sense for Divvy to sideline this as an option, not as the key feature.

Teachers in Mexico break windows, torch offices to protest anti-union reforms

Some educators are teaching a not-so-gentle lesson to President?Enrique Pe?a Nieto about his ambitious government reforms.

By Whitney Eulich,?Staff writer / April 25, 2013

Mexican teachers and teachers-in-training once again abandoned lesson plans to protest education reform in the southwestern state of Guerrero this week.

The individuals charged with educating Guerrero's children, and helping build a brighter future for a country lauded for its economic promise, have been on strike since a federal education reform bill was introduced almost two months ago.

The bill is part of a wider reform agenda by President?Enrique Pe?a Nieto which aims to feed economic opportunity and growth in Mexico. Other initiatives discussed include boosting competition in the telecommunications industry and increasing bank lending rates.

But in yet another sign that President Enrique Pe?a Nieto is facing pushback on his ambitious reform plan, this week scores of educators took to the streets armed with sticks and spray paint. They broke windows, threw papers and plants out of buildings, vandalized furniture and office equipment, and set fire to political offices, according to Mexican news outlets.

?Teach and learn ? vandalism,? read today?s front page of Mexican newspaper Reforma, with photos splashed above the fold showing a political party office in Guerrero?engulfed in flames, and a highway road block using a ?kidnapped? 18-wheeler from state-owned oil company PEMEX in the neighboring state Michoac?n, which is also experiencing teacher protests.

Earlier this year President Pe?a Nieto passed far-reaching education reform that aims to diminish the tight grasp of Mexico?s powerful teachers union and reverse common practices like teachers receiving pay despite not showing up to work. According to The Christian Science Monitor:

The reform strips the education union ??arguably the most powerful in Latin America ??of its influence over the hiring of teachers. It provides for a system of merit-based pay and promotions, subjects Mexico?s estimated 1 million teachers to evaluations, and requires exams of those entering the profession. All with greater oversight by the federal government.

In Guerrero state, educators upped protests after state legislators failed to incorporate the 200,000-member education union?s demands to water down the federal legislation at the state level on Tuesday.

The mayor of Chilpancingo, where the vandalism took place yesterday afternoon, told Mexican newspaper Milenio that he?s requested federal assistance. The governor of Guerrero announced via Twitter that arrest warrants had been issued for the head of the state Education Workers Union, Minervino Moran, and another union leader, for ?masterminding? the destruction of property, reports the Associated Press.

Guerrero, home of the well-known beach destination Acapulco, has repeatedly made headlines this year for violence and the uptick in vigilante militias and self-defense groups.
