The Butterfly Gang is compromised of three aspiring superheroes-- Sally (Great Eggfly), Shu Lee (Orange Bar Sulphur), and Joshua (Common Green Birdwing). The gang came to be one afternoon when the three friends decided to combine their love of butterflies, and superheroes like the powerpuff girls, and though they haven't had many chances to fight crime they still do they best to be a force of good in their neighborhood.</div>

Princess Punch-Out is a sadistic princess that loves to fight and look fabulous so she does both frequently and simultaneously. She prefers to wear white boxing gloves because she likes to see her opponent's blood on them when she gives them a hard punch in the face. She has an on-going challenge to any that dare to come against her-- if they K.O. her, they get her hand in marriage and half of the kingdom. She currently stands undefeated.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.3999996185303px;">Morror are friendly multi-tailed critters that make great pets. Their fur is soft and wonderful for snuggling, and they're very loyal to those it bonds with. Princess Punch-Out owns several morrors---named Fist, Knuckles, and Bash--- and they are the only creatures she treats with complete kindness.</span></span></div>

Marsha and Tongues have been travelling together ever since either of them can remember... which could be years but may only be months for their first meeting was quite peculiar. Tongues was hardly out of kittenhood when she found Marsha unconscious in the desert wasteland, and when Marsha woke up she had no memories of her past life. The two companions have stuck together since then and have a bond that is unbreakable.</div>

Anansi III is the grandchild of Anansi. They have no single corporeal shape, no single gender, no single definition. They own many masks and when they don those masks they become something new. Their favourite mask is that of the spider for it reminds them of their grandfather who taught them all there was to know about the art of illusion and weaving tales. (This connection to their grandfather is also the reason they chose to be called Anansi III by those that wish to call for them, in reality they have many names, one for each mask.)</div>
<br />
Besides their masks, their most prized possessions are their cloak, which is sky both day and night, and their satchel, which is light in all colors. They won these possessions from a competition with Set and Loki, other trickster god whose sigils are on Anansi III's belt as a show of camaraderie. The cloak allows Anansi III to control the skies through their words: sad words bring rains, joyous ones bring sunshine, a bid goodnight brings the day to a close and a bid good morning begins it. The satchel allows Anansi III to carry anything in the world, even the world itself, and always have it weigh no more than light itself.<br />

Big Blue Battling Cloak, the little red riding hood of an opposite universe. Big Blue may look sweet but if any lumberjacks try to get in her way to her gramps' cave in the woods she's ready to fight. With the quick whisper of a magic word, she can disappear before their very eyes, meaning they never see her coming when she strikes them down like the trees they fell.</div>

This is Rox of the Royal Bloods gang. The gang hunt and kill the rich and powerful and eat them afterwards. They believe that dressing in their victims' fine clothes and consuming them brings them closer to being royalty themselves. New members are initiated once they have made their first kill and then turned their first victim's skull into a mask that is to be worn on hunts.</div>

This is Ven. It is a sentient plant creature that evolved from a venus fly trap. Its eyes resemble fly wings and its nose a fly body, this is in order to lure prey close enough to grab and consume them with its mouth/hands. Its root legs can burrow into the ground for water and better movement stability.</div>

I joined a website called Flight Rising in which you raise and breed dragons. Today, in order to get some practice with a new drawing program I downloaded (Krita), I asked people to send me a picture of their favourite dragons so that I could draw them!<br />
Here are the results of the day:

<br />
Tests last month to Cadbury Chocolate products revealed porcine DNA according to the Malaysian Ministry of Health. The results of these tests resulted in a boycott of the chocolates by the Islamic community and a suspension of Cadbury's halal certification (meaning that it is not okay for consumption under the Islamic law).<br />
<br />
However, new tests to Cadbury chocolate by the Islamic Development Department have not found any traces of pork. The Health Ministry tested chocolate bars from shops and the products may have been exposed to porcine DNA after leaving the factory. The Islamic Developement Department will be visiting the factory for further tests.<br />

The Clarion Nightsnake was first discovered in 1936 by naturalist William Beebe.

<br />
The snake is found only on Clarion Island and DNA tests confirmed that it is genetically distinct from other snakes and it is not recognized as a full species.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Due to the sudden surge in popularity of craft beers, there might cause a shortage of hops. Craft beers require larger amounts of hops, and the varieties used in craft beers, "aroma" varieties, are less productive than bland high-yield alpha hops. By next year, acreage of hops growing will be changed to 60/40 in favor of aroma hops, while previously it was 70/30 in favor of alpha hops. Hop plants take several years to produce and a</span>t the moment, new breweries are opening up faster than hops can be grown, which will tighten the supply. A shortage has happened before in 2007, however "panic buying by hipsters might be premature. But small brewers may need to think further ahead or be ready to tweak their recipes". <br />

Irukandi box jellyfish are invisible in the water and very small. Their stings are extremely painful, and can be fatal. They are found throughout the oceans, but are most common in tropical waters where they may appear suddenly in mass. </div>

Starting today, I'm going to be reading a news article, summarizing it, drawing something inspired by it (or something else), and then posting them here. :)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
SO, without further ado, in today's news:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27388289">"EU COURT BACKS 'RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN' IN GOOGLE CASE"</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The European Union Court of Justice has ruled that links to "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information should be removed upon request of the individual it concerns. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ruling was a resolution to a case in which a Spanish man, Mario Costeja Gonzalez, complained that a search of his name brought up links to 16 year old news articles about him selling his property to recover money he owed, which he thought should no longer be linked to him because the problem was resolved. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ruling backs a law proposed by the European Commission on the "right to be forgotten" in 2012. The court says that people can request for information to be taken down by contacting the operator of the search engine which will then decide the merit of the request.</div>

The day after my impromtu class at the Biblioteca Jorge Barbosa (the library is after my great great grandfather Jorge Barbosa who was a famous Cape Verdean poet), I had my first class at Castelos do Sal. ((This was last Thursday, July, 19))<br />
<br />
Castelos do Sal is an organization whose goal is to take kids off the streets and give them a place to play, learn, and gain opportunities they may not have otherwise. They provide food and medicine to the kids, and keep them active both mentally and physically. Currently, they have 54 kids participating in the program, and there are even more on the waiting list.<br />
<br />
They have a really lovely space with a courtyard and two classrooms, which from what I've seen, they use to the fullest.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I showed up to Castelos do Sal, accompanied by Maya, a bit before 2:30pm which is when my class was supposed to start. A few days before I had spoken to Alexandra, the vice-president of the organization, and we had agreed that I would go to Castelos every Tuesday and Thursday, from 2:30 to 4:30.<br />
<br />
I decided that I wanted to start my first class with something fun, like... animals! Knowing I had two hours of teaching to do, I planned a lot of fun activities. We were going to play duck, duck, goose, and pop goes the weasel, and sing songs like itsy bitsy spider and so on.<br />
<br />
However, when I got to Castelos de Sal, one of the workers, Felipe, informs me that Alexandra forgot that the kids have a capoeira class at 4, so my 2 hour class became more of a little bit over an hour class.<br />
<br />
But, hey, no problem. I did my best to adapt, cut out a bunch of the activities, while still making sure that the core of the lesson was still intact and that the kids would still have fun. I even had to adapt even more as I noticed the one girl in my class had a hurt knee, so running around yelling "GOOOOSE" was no longer an option.<br /><br />My lesson ended up consisting of teaching the kids animals from flashcards I printed out and having them make loud animal noises and guessing animals from the noises. I had a few too many cards for the time decreased time I had, so it was a bit to get all the names to stick.<br />
<br />
Still, it was fun trying. I told them that snakes go "ssssssssssss" which is in their name "sssssssssnaaaake" which amused them. And, the little girl, Wendy, really liked singing and motioning the itsy bitsy spider. <br />
<br />
I had some trouble engaging a boy in the group that was much older than the rest of the group. He was about 13, while the others were from 6-10 or so. It also didn't help that in the middle of class occasionally a kid was taken out to go brush his teeth, just another disorienting factor to make things tougher than they needed to be.<br />
<br />
Overall, the class went well. Especially when I realized I could bribe the kids with the flashcards as reference material while they were drawing.<br />
<br />
But, what I really enjoyed from that day was the time I got with the kids after class. My aunt Kiki called me saying she would be late to pick me up. So Maya and I stayed to watch the capoeira class and play with the kids in the time before it.<br />
<br />
One little boy,Rafael, who had not been in my class decided that I should try to guess everyone's name and age, including his mother ((I said she was 119, he was really shocked at this and told me "No way!!")) and other family members.Wendy taught me a clapping game. And all the kids played the "guess Filipa's age" game.<br />
<br />
I definitely prefer being their playmate to being their teacher. My goal is find a good balance between the two, but that will only come with lots of practice and experimentation. :)<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />I have posts in the works for the past few days as well. It's just been tough getting time to sit and type!<br />Hopefully I'll be able to get them done soon and catch up to current teaching time xD</div>

Today, I gave the most impromptu class I have ever given.<br />
<br />
I'm currently in Sal, Cape Verde. I came here for vacationing, and volunteer work as an English teacher, because, frankly, I need the experience. Plus, I have fun teaching! This basically serves as an opportunity that will beneficial to me and also to those I teach.<br />
<br />
The groups I am working with are groups that usually get neglected, or don't have the resources to get English classes. And getting a basic knowledge in another language, like English, is really important in a developing country like Cape Verde, especially one that is attracting a large tourist market.<br />
<br />
I am mostly going to be teaching young kids that are part of various programs in Sal, designed to keep kids off the streets. They're a mix of kids that spent a lot of time on the streets either because they come from poor families that can't take care of them all them well, or they don't have a home to go to at all. The three programs I'm working for are Nos Kaza, Nos Castelos, and Africa Center 70. I'll write more on them as I go along.<br />
<br />
But today, I was at the other end of the spectrum. Today, I was working with the elderly, who don't get nearly enough love as they should. While getting my TEFL Certificate in Madrid last summer, my favourite classes were teaching old ladies.<br />
<br />
I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly too prepared going into class today. I was told that the senior group I was to be working with had been taking computer classes at the town library, and my job was to teach them the English tools they need to use the internet well.<br />
<br />
I was prepared to give a lesson on emails.<br />
<br />
I did not give a lesson on emails.<br />
<br />
Apparently, today was just a day for getting the elderly that would be my students all organized. So there were more there than there were computers for. (They're were meant to be split into two groups, so I'll be teaching 2 separate classes each Wednesday)<br />
<br />
So, seeing as I couldn't just send them off to computers and go from there I was suddenly given the job of organizing them and finding some way to make the best of hour we had today, while not being able to use anything I was ready for.<br />
<br />
What I ended up doing was giving them an improvised lesson on super basic conversational English.<br />
<br />
We covered " My name is________" because I realized I didn't know their names at. And then at someone's request to be able to tell someone their nationality "I am from __________". And then at another's request "What is your name?" because they needed to know what the question was in order to answer it.<br /><br />It took a while to get through, since all I could do was write the phrases down on pieces of paper and pass them around between the 20 or so students. I waited for them all to get what ever phrase was being passed around written down, which took time since there were only a few papers going around and they didn't have desks to write on, or the best eyesight. But I made my rounds, to check on spelling and pronunciation, all the while smiling and encouraging them. I did also repetitions in group and then individually.<br />
<br />
I think each phrase took about 15 minutes to get down. It might have been even longer if there hadn't been a girl that works at the library there to help me out. I was extremely lucky to have her there too, she helped hand out paper, and write the phrases and help some students while I was helping others. Unfortunately, she disappeared quickly after the class was done and I didn't get her name. NEXT TIME!<br />
<br />
At then end of the class, I taught them goodbye, and they said thank you, though I never got around to even trying to teach them that. I haphazardly wrote "good bye" on their papers as they all approached me simultaneously to request it so they knew how to spell it, while reminding them all of the plan for next week.<br />
<br />
Overall, it was a chaotic class. But they learnt,I got over any nervousness I had about starting to teach classes, and we all had a lot of fun.<br />
That's what's really important.<br />
<br />
I never did get some of them to say Cabo Verde as Cape Verde though... and honestly, I kinda love that. </div>

While I have a lot of favourite characters, I thought it was only fair to draw Edward Elric from the manga and twice an anime Fullmetal Alchemist. FMA was the series that truly got me into the world of anime/manga and he was a character that I loved greatly. Maybe it was because we were both short, maybe because my mom had cancer which later took her life and his mother died from sickness, maybe because we both had young siblings to look after,or even all these factors, but I felt like I could relate to him. And he was a good reminder to stay strong even when live is hellish, and to never let anyone give me any trouble over my height. It was also fortunate that I came across the series while it was still growing strong. I got to experience the rush of waiting for each book to come out and then practically devouring it once I got in in my hands, I got to grow with Ed. And in the end, we both got a bit taller. </div>
