Think you can spot the fake?
Think again. It's going to be a lot harder than you think to pick out the BS. Each entry hides one well-crafted fib among a pair of unbelievable truths. And it's up to you to figure out what's fascinating and what's fabricated on everything from koala bears to Confucius to high-fructose corn syrup.

With nearly 3,000 wallpapers from all anime shows/games/movies, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Image tags in file names makes it easy to find just what you're looking for, or a collection of pictures with a theme or character. All images are the highest of quality and made to fit standard desktop backgrounds. With very few repeats, this collection is just what any anime lover needs.

This is the last re-upload of part of my previous project on providing
a siterip of Konachan.com, an anime wallpaper database.
Due to problems uploading the actual torrent, I have gone
ahead and split my first two image packs into five to reduce the file size.

Yay, new content! I'll be making the packs smaller, around 2000 per pack,
to decrease download times and eliminate problems uploading the actual.
But that's not an issue you have to worry about, you guys just want more
wallpapers, and I'm here to deliver.

Not for the serious kanji scholar who is looking for an accurate history of the formation of kanji characters, but it is an interesting book to look through. The book gives 24 rules for understanding kanji. The kanji characters used to illustrate these rules have nice illustrations that show where they came from (or the author's creative ideas of where they could come from). The explanations of the kanji are in English and Japanese, and the Japanese is kept fairly basic. Overall this is an enjoyable book and can serve the purpose of simply getting someone interested in kanji and giving a little better idea of what kanji are.

“I am from the government and I am here to help you” is one of the three biggest lies, or so the old joke goes. Richard J. Gelles, dean of social policy at University of Pennsylvania, explains why government programs designed to cure social ills don’t work in sector after sector…and never could work. He demonstrates how each creates its own bureaucracy to monitor participation in the program, an entrenched administrative apparatus whose needs supersede those for whom the program was designed.
