PRESIDENT’S CORNER Sustaining Healthy Growth 2020 was a year of historic proportions. The global pandemic created significant issues in both international trade and logistics, as well as in consumer buying patterns. After last spring's dramatic price correction, pricing has remained relatively consistent through the fall season, with rallying points occurring as customers respond to the strong consumption in markets throughout the world. Industry commitments and shipments are maintaining very strong levels, with shipments at the end Mark Jansen President & CEO of December running 22 percent year-to-date above the same point last year. Commitments are also running at record levels, with over 2.2 billion pounds (1.3 billion pounds shipped plus 900 million not yet shipped) of sales committed at the end of December. While there is still much work to be done in selling and marketing the 2020 crop, demand in the first five months of the 2020–2021 marketing campaign could not have started any stronger. Blue Diamond was prepared to receive and process this record crop by investing in infrastructure, training, equipment, talent, and new marketplaces to sell our almonds. We are also investing in innovation and believe that we can successfully compete in the marketplace by continuing to develop great products and communicating our unique brand benefits in relevant and inspiring ways. Our focus on building new advertising and market channels, and the quality of our industry-leading Blue Diamond snack almonds, Almond Breeze® almondmilk and Nut-Thins® cracker brands will help deliver sustained healthy growth for our growers, customers and team members. The Blue Diamond team has worked continuously through the pandemic to receive, process, market and ship the record supply we will handle this year. As a co-op we invested significantly in PPE, materials and processes, such as mandatory temperature checks, needed to keep our workforce healthy and our production lines running. I’m most proud of our team members’ commitment to Blue Diamond in securing the safe and successful processing and marketing of your almonds. Whether working on-site at our three campuses or from their homes, the Blue Diamond team remains dedicated to you, our grower-owners, and to delivering the benefits of almonds to the world. Given current market prices, the Blue Diamond team understands that every penny of competitive return is important. We continuously reevaluate the return on investments against your business and challenge every team member to treat every expense with the knowledge that this is truly a family business for our 3,000 growers. One opportunity for you to enhance your personal return is to participate in the CASP program. This collectively benefits the co-op and allows you to capture every revenue opportunity for your crop. 6 ALMOND FACTS The industry focus is now on bloom. No matter what Mother Nature holds in store for us this year, Blue Diamond growers have shown remarkable resilience in delivering bountiful crops. I encourage you to reach out to your Regional Manager if you have any questions about best practices. I wish all of you a successful and prosperous New Year. The Best is Yet to Come!

  • The Skull Man Jumpchain the Year Is 1970 and a Young Man Named Tatsuo Kagura Is About to Begin a Rampage Across Japan Under the Guise of the Skull Man
    The Skull Man Jumpchain The year is 1970 and a young man named Tatsuo Kagura is about to begin a rampage across Japan under the guise of The Skull Man. His parents, a pair of genius scientists dedicated to the “evolution of humanity”, performed many experiments on their young son in order to create the perfect example of Newmanity as part of the plans of the evil organisation The Syndicate. After they were murdered by his grandfather, Tatsuo was rescued by the shapeshifting Kaijin Garo. Will you abide his vicious vigilante vengeance quest? Or will you oppose this dark anti-hero? Or is the year 1988, where a only somewhat different Tatsuo will battle against the evil Rasputin and takes part in a trip into the world of shadows and the evil within all of us. Or perhaps it is even more recent, say 2007? But this is a very different Skull Man. Tatsuo and his father both slain, and the Skull Man suit (the source of the Skull Man's powers in this version of events) if found by a priest named Yoshio Kanzaki to battle the evil cult Byakureikai and it's evil experiments on humanity. This story begins with the death of Yoshio and the mantle of Skull Man taken over by Hayato Mikogami who may in fact be Tatsuo himself under a new identity. Regardless of when you arrive in Japan (your pick Jumper), you receive 1000 choice points and must choose your place in this world: Origins Drop-in Free You awaken in a dark alley in the city of Tokyo, your memories and body untouched from your last jump.

  • Zen in the Art of Writing – Ray Bradbury
    A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels, stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared when he was twenty years old. He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury Theater" on USA Cable television.

  • Why Fair Use Should Extend to Fan-Based Activities
    WHEN HOLDING ON MEANS LETTING GO: WHY FAIR USE SHOULD EXTEND TO FAN-BASED ACTIVITIES Nathaniel T. Noda† INTRODUCTION In a celebrated children’s song, Malvina Reynolds observes that love is “just like a magic penny, / hold it tight and you won’t have any. / Lend it, spend it, and you’ll have so many / They’ll roll all over the floor.” 1 Just as love sometimes means letting go, the doctrine of fair use recognizes that the purposes of copyright are sometimes better served by allowing certain forms of infringing activity to occur. The four-factor test for fair use, codified at 17 U.S.C. § 107, affords courts sufficient latitude to fine tune the analysis in light of changing circumstances. The recent surge of interest in anime and manga, or Japanese animation and comics, 2 brings with it distinctive examples of what may be dubbed “fan-based activities,” which indicate how courts can adapt the fair use analysis to best balance the public’s access to creative works with the interests of copyright holders. The joint popularity of anime and manga is no coincidence: the origin and evolution of manga is entwined with the origin and evolution of anime, representing a symbiosis between the † Mr. Noda is a J.D. Candidate 2009, William S. Richardson School of Law, University of Hawai`i at Manoa. This paper arose within the context of the WSRSL Second-Year Seminar.

    ANIMEIOWA 2005 WEAPONS POLICY (Please note that this policy is subject to change. For the latest version of this policy prior to the convention, refer to the AnimeIowa website at www.animeiowa.com. During the convention, the policy will be printed in the Program Book and a final version will be kept at the Bridge.) Wearing a costume to AnimeIowa makes it even more fun, and so we encourage you to dress as your favorite anime or manga character! We also want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time, so please adhere to the following policy when your costume includes a weapon. The intention of the AnimeIowa Weapons Policy is to minimize unfortunate weapons-related accidents, not to limit anyone’s creativity or fun. However, anyone caught violating the weapons policy risks being “uninvited” to the convention without refund from the convention or from the hotel. Everyone with a weapon must bring it to the Bridge for inspection by the Operations Staff, who will peace-bond or peace-mark it according to this policy. The staff there will also be happy to answer any questions about carrying a particular item. Note that bold terms are further explained in the DEFINITIONS section at the end of this document. Artwork by Kitty 1. Bladed weapons must be sheathed and peace-bonded and may not be drawn at any time during the convention. The only exception to this rule is when photographs are being taken in an officially designated “Photo Op Zone.” The weapons must be re-bonded immediately upon leaving the zone.

On behalf of the New England Anime Society, our honored guests and the entire Anime Boston staff, it is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to Anime Boston 2012! This year is particularly exciting, as we are celebrating our tenth anniversary. When I think back on 2002, when we were working to organize ourselves and plan for the first year of the convention, I’m still astounded at how much has the event has grown and developed. Like a child, the convention “grew up” faster than we expected, and around it, we have lived ten years of life. For those of us who were there from the beginning this means ten years of marriages, children born, friends who have passed on, break-ups, falling in love, learning new things, losing some battles, and winning others.
