PULSAR’S TOP 10 FAVORITE ANIME OF 2017

PULSAR'S TOP 10 ANIME OF 2017:

Its that time again! Here's my ten favorite anime series of the past year. A few notes:

1. This is just one dude's opinion. If your favorite isn't on here, it's not personal.

2. I decided to include sequel series on this list after a few years of not doing that, because there were a couple this year that were so good I felt not including them would be unfair.

3. If I didnt finish a show, its not on here. Meaning there are a couple shows like Inuyashiki and Juni Taisen that, while I've liked what I've seen, aren't on this list.

Here we go!

#10: GABRIEL DROPOUT A consistently funny comedy about an angel who, after graduating from angel school and being assigned to Earth, discovers video games and ends up becoming a lazy bum. Meanwhile, her best friend, a demon fresh out of demon school, has the opposite problem: she's far too sweet and kind to be an effective agent of evil. This show is a lot of fun and features a couple great supporting characters (a demon with serious delusions of grandeur and an angel with a sadistic streak). If youre looking for some laughs, this is a great show to check out!

GABRIEL DROPOUT is available on Crunchyroll.

#9: KONOSUBA - SEASON 2

Imagine the gang on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia launching a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. It would probably end up something like Konosuba.

I didn't think this show could top last season in ridiculousness and hilarity, but it pulled it off. This is one of those shows where your sides hurt by the end of some episodes because you've been laughing so hard.

If you aren't familiar with Konosuba, it revolves around a group of four would-be adventurers: Kazuma, a neurotic and slightly perverted NEET; Aqua, an incompetent crybaby goddess and healer; Megumin, a mentally unstable mage obsessed with blowing things up; and Darkness, a masochistic knight. These four are complete idiots and manage to screw up just about everything they try to accomplish... and you'll end up loving them because of it. Watch this one from the beginning if youre looking for a great comedy and like seeing the "sent to a fantasy world" trope completely turned on its head. Seasons 1 and 2 of KONOSUBA are available on Crunchyroll.

#8: PRINCESS PRINCIPAL

This show was 2017's dark horse, it seemed to fly under a lot of peoples radar. Which is a shame, because this is a very fun and inventive spy/intrigue series. Princess Principal takes place in an alternate version of Britain which has been split in two by war. A group of young women double as spies for the upstart commonwealth who are trying to unseat the monarchy. And their secret weapon? The country's own princess, who is in on the scheme. With awesome steampunk-inspired character designs, great action sequences and a story with continuous twists and turns that will keep you guessing, this show definitely deserves a second look from people who may have missed out the first time. Princess Principal is available on Amazon Prime.

#7: KAKEGURUI KAKEGURUI is another show that flew under people's radar in 2017, largely because Netflix decided to wait until the English dub was finished to release it in the US. But I can tell you it was worth the wait. This anime follows a young woman named Yumeko who transfers into an elite prep school in Japan, where the student hierarchy is determined through gambling. Yumeko quickly finds herself a target of the student council when it turns out that not only is she a VERY skilled gambler, she is also very good at figuring out if someone is cheating. And she may or may not be a tad bit insane. If you like over-the-top psychologically-intense shows like Prison School, you are going to love this anime. It also has my favorite intro of any anime in 2017. KAKEGURUI is available on Netflix in English and Japanese starting this month!

#6: SCUM'S WISH Most romance anime are very light and fun, or they are over the top to the point of self-parody. SCUM'S WISH is not one of those anime. This show is about how painful and unfair love can be. Two high school students appear to everyone to be a perfect couple. But the truth is they are both actually in love with other people (their teachers), and are simply using each other as a physical and emotional replacement. The characters in this show are not tropes, and they aren't necessarily all likeable either. One character I would almost call the best villain of the entire year in anime. But in the end, this show makes you care about all of them, to the point where you even want the worst of them to be happy in the end. Scums Wish is not a fun show. In fact, it is incredibly painful to watch at times. But it is absolutely worth watching. SCUM'S WISH is available on Amazon Prime.

#5: THE ANCIENT MAGUS' BRIDE A young woman named Chise is about to commit suicide when she is approached by a man offering to help her "find someone who wants her." Feeling that she has nothing left to live for, she offers herself up for auction, and is purchased for five million pounds by a mysterious individual who turns out to be an ancient mage. And he has selected Chise to be his apprentice... and his future bride. The Ancient Magus' Bride is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL show. There is a sense of magic and wonder to this anime that just draws you in from the opening episode and doesn't let go. And the relationship between Chise and Elias is fascinating. This show will likely top a LOT of people's best-of lists, and I absolutely understand why. The only reason its not higher on my list is it's only 13 episodes in, and there's a lot of story left to tell. I can't wait! THE ANCIENT MAGUS' BRIDE is available on Crunchyroll (subtitled) and Funimation (English dub)

#4: MISS KOBAYASHI'S DRAGON MAID A techie gets drunk one night, misses her train stop and ends up on the outskirts of town. She comes across a dragon, and being drunk, makes friends with her invites her to stay with her. She proceeds to go home, pass out and forget everything... until the dragon shows up on her doorstep the next morning, dressed as maid and ready to get to work. This for me was the biggest surprise of 2017. I went into this show expecting to drop it after an episode or 2, and ended up falling in love with its cast of hilarious and ridiculous characters. The relationship between Kobayashi and Tohru the dragon (which becomes more romantic over time) is absolutely adorable, and the supporting characters/dragons are all a ton of fun to watch. This is one of those series that just makes you feel good while watching it. Definitely give this one a shot! MISS KOBAYASHI'S DRAGON MAID is available on Crunchyroll (subtitled) and Funimation (English dub)

#3: ATTACK ON TITAN: Season 2 Attack On Titan, a show about a world where titans (giant humanoid creatures) threaten humanity's existence and have forced them into a giant walled city, is one of the most popular anime series of the past decade. After a four long wait, expectations for this season were impossibly high. Well, I'm just going to say it: Season 2 of Attack On Titan made Season 1 look like a kids show by comparison. This season ramped up the intensity and sheer terror to 11. Attack On Titan, in my opinion, is no longer a shonen-action series. It's straight up HORROR. And this is a good thing. The best thing about this season was the decision to split up the main trio of Eren, Armin and Mikasa and focus more on supporting characters like Sasha, Ymir and Krista. Ymir in particular went from being a background character to becoming the heart of the show, with her tragic arc being the center of the season's conflict. Fortunately, AoT fans won't have to wait much longer for Season 3, as it will be coming out this year! ATTACK ON TITAN Season 2 is available on Crunchyroll (subtitled) and Funimation (English dub). Season 1 is also available on Netflix and Hulu

#2: LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA Originally a crowdfunded OVA, and then a sequel, Studio Trigger's LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA finally received a full season this year, and it was absolutely worth the wait. This is an extremely fun and entertaining series about a school for young witches and a group of new students who have joined, including a young girl named Akko from Japan who loves magic, but doesn't appear to have much natural ability... until she discovers a magic wand that once belonged to a legendary witch named Shiny Chariot. Akko is instantly likeable and you will find yourself cheering her and her friends on even as they make obvious mistakes and get themselves into ridiculous amounts of trouble along the way. Her dorm-mate Sucy (who has a serious obsession with potions and isn't afraid to use her friends as guinea pigs for her experiments) damn near steals the show. And its a Studio Trigger show, so you know the animation is going to not only be great but exciting to watch, and that's definitely the case here. The show wisely takes an episodic approach for the first half, with the overall story arc coming into play in the second half of the series. LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA is not just one of the best anime of the year, it's one of my favorites of the past decade. LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA is available on Netflix in both Japanese and English.

#1: MADE IN ABYSS

I agonized for a while over whether to make this or Little Witch Academia #1. If you were to ask which show is more fun to watch, Little Witch wins by a landslide. But Made In Abyss is the show that simply would not let me go this year.

In a world where a mysterious chasm has opened up in the center of the earth, cave raiders delve into the depths of The Abyss, as its known, seeking out secrets and treasure of the world below. A young aspiring cave raider named Riko one day receives a letter from her mother, a famous cave raider who has been missing for years, telling her to meet her at the bottom. With the help of her new friend Reg (a human-looking robot Riko found while scavenging), Riko begins a treacherous journey to the bottom of the world.

MADE IN ABYSS is a throwback in some ways to the dark fantasy epics of the 1980s like The Neverending Story. But this series ramps up the darker elements of its story over time. Do not let the cute art fool you: this is NOT a kids show. This show goes places I never expected, and in some cases places I would never want to go back to again. This show never feels "safe" the way kids' shows are expected to. The central characters are always in danger, and one false move could get them killed... or worse. There are times where I had to pause this show in the middle of an episode just to decompress because I felt like I was about to break down.

Prepare to be terrified. Prepare to be heartbroken. And prepare to see the best anime of 2017.

MADE IN ABYSS is available on Amazon Prime.

Thanks for checking out my list. Let me know what your favorite anime series of 2017 were!

Favorite Life Hack (light filtering for usefulness)

Always be kind to your wife

Make a daily list of three things each day for which you are grateful.

Rely on the experts. They’re generally right

Better to “get over it” quickly

Using binder clips to hold loose wires to back of desk

Gowanus is as cool of a neighborhood as it is ugly.

Seek out comedy and laugh as much as possible. Recent interests Tiffany Haddish and Judd Apatow has a few good laughs on his special.

You don’t control your circumstances, you can control how you deal with them

Ink + Volt Planner

shave only once a week

Practice patience…

This is probably common knowledge to everyone, but it turns out there’s an arrow near the gas display that tells you which side of the car has the gas tank.

I learned about living an aloha life and while it is not super easy in NYC it is always a conscious decision that has not failed to make me feel better

“Books make my bed dirty, and alas, I ain’t got no transcendental eyeglasses”

Technology is not my friend

I should’ve spent more time with the Gottliebs in 2017. Will not make that mistake again.

Less social media. Facebook / twitter / insta can be bad for you.

overnight steel cut oats

Voters need to show up

Gmail allows variations to your address that include inserting a “.” anywhere or adding +“whatever you want” before the “@”. Generally logins require both you’re email address and your password. Half of that equation (your email address) is publicly available. For painless added security, when creating logins to sites, consider adding “+whatever you want” to the email address. A hacker would require both your password and this variation on your email address, which no one but you would have knowledge of. Incoming messages can also be filtered into folders by variations of this kind if you like (so “+secure”; “+junk”; “+temp”; “+important”).

Stop watching the news.

It’s not as bad as it appears

To help kids be independent, we need to trust them.

Most damage can be repaired.

Be kind as often as you can because it will come back to you in spades

Book called subtle art of not giving a bleep….very good life advice

Take chances and try to be happy. Life is too short not to do so.

We need to regain a more equal distribution of income and the belief that we should take care of each other.

bidet

Getting old sucks

Growing old is good and becoming invisible has distinct advantages.

It’s not a new one, but work/life balance is CRUCIAL

Life is short.

When I say “yes” to something, what I am saying “no” to?

Electric power consumption will increase steadily over time notwithstanding efficiency gains in products that consume electricity

Abandoned Navy Hangar Prepares For Final Battle

The Mustin Field Seaplane Hangar opened in 1943 and was designed by German structural engineer Anton Tedesco, the father of thin-shell concrete construction in America. | Photo: Michael Bixler

If you have ever taken Kitty Hawk Avenue at the Navy Yard all the way to its end chances are you’ve encountered what remains of Mustin Field. Today the Naval village that once surrounded the military aircraft factory is nothing but gates and wind-swept earth. The network of manufacturing buildings dating back to WWI has been dissolved. The abandoned Naval barracks and officer’s swimming pool are all gone too. The runway, which once saw thousands of war planes take first flight during WWII, is now a graveyard of dead rail lines, cracked asphalt, and packed dirt. But there is one structure left and it emerges from the barren expanse like the sun-bleached vertebrate of a tremendous sea creature from the Mesozoic Era. Building 653, better know as the Mustin Field Seaplane Hangar, cuts through the empty landscape like a mammoth drill bit with its undulating concrete dome. Philadelphia Regional Port Authority (PhilaPort) is currently conducting environmental studies on the proposed demolition of the 302-foot long hangar, built in 1943 and designed by groundbreaking structural engineer Anton Tedesko, the father of thin-shell concrete construction in America.

The old hangar is considered a contributing structure within the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard Historic District and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. PhilaPort and PennDOT are in the initial stages of conducting a cultural resources evaluation of the building with consultation from the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office. The Navy Yard is abundant with Georgian Revival mansions, stately former officer’s quarters, and adaptable industrial gems most brilliantly displayed by Urban Outfitter’s 2010 transformation of a block of late 19th century machine shops into a contemporary corporate campus. But nothing is left of Mustin Field save for Tedesco’s Seaplane Hangar and an adjacent electric substation. Clearing the area for a potential Amazon HQ bid win may be a slick, timely assumption, but officials maintain that the area is being prepped for more imported car parking coming in from Hyundai and Kia. One PhilaPort employee remarked that a team of excavators would be no match for the burly concrete coil and that it would take dynamite, lots of dynamite, to put the building down.

Structural engineers rarely get their due and are almost always eclipsed by the egos and acolytes of architects. August Komendant was a longtime collaborator of Louis Kahn and the go-to engineer for the Philadelphia School. His work in Philadelphia is best experienced at the Police Administration Building, built between 1959 and 1962 and designed by Geddes, Brecher, Qualls & Cunningham. Nicknamed “The Roundhouse,” the Brutalist masterpiece is one of the first buildings in the U.S. to use a precast concrete panel system, called Schokbeton, that completely integrated the building’s structural and mechanical systems. Komendant is often discussed in academic and architectural circles, but usually plays a small, backseat role when evaluating the importance of a building.

Anton Tedesco, the engineer that designed the Seaplane Hangar, was a defining figure in reinforced concrete innovation, yet his legacy remains largely unsung. Tedesco took his first job in Germany with Dyckerhoff & Widmann, the firm that pioneered thin-shell reinforced concrete construction, made famous for their work developing the Zeiss Dywidag System in the early 1920s for Carl Zeiss Company planetariums and their steel and concrete cupola domes. In the 1950s Buckmeister Fuller would retool the innovative system into his signature geodesic dome.

Tedesco revolutionized long-span roof construction when he brought his thin-shell concrete expertise to the United States in 1932. Over the next 18 years the structural engineer designed over 60 concrete shell roofing systems and structures for industrial and governmental projects. He worked as a consultant for the Air Force from 1955 to 1970 and even collaborated with Modernist architect I.M. Pei. Along with a bevy of airplane hangers across the country–North Island Seaplane Hangars in San Diego and Ellsworth AFB Pride Aircraft Hangar in South Dakota to name just a few–Tedesco designed the St. Louis International Airport Terminal, the Denver Coliseum, the Vehicle Assembly Building at Cape Canaveral, Hersheypark Arena, and the Hayden Planetarium in Manhattan that was demolished in 1997.

Tedesco also designed the Philadelphia Skating Club & Humane Society at 220 Holland Avenue in Ardmore. The club, founded in 1849 as The Skater’s Club of the City and County of Philadelphia, was the first skating club in America. The PSCHS cruised around frozen ponds, lakes, and rivers throughout the Philadelphia region. Activities centered around the Schuylkill River and they used a clubhouse in Fairmount Park as their headquarters. The club moved operations to the Philadelphia Ice Palace at 45th and Market in 1910. They opened the doors of their new rink on the Main Line in 1938 after buying land from Haverford College.

The Henry C. Mustin Naval Aircraft Factory ceased operations due to pressure from private manufacturers in 1945, just three years after the Seaplane Hangar opened. It was next used by the Navy as a aviation testing facility until 1963, then a gymnasium, then as a commissary store until the Navy Yard officially closed in 1995.

In 2009, director M. Night Shyamalan filmed the interior shots for his epic box office flop, The Last Airbender, underneath the sprawling, concrete dome.

The Seaplane Hangar was last used during the Philadelphia papal visit in 2015. According to a PhilaPort employee, Pope Francis was helicoptered into the Navy Yard next to the hangar where he was greeted by the Popemobile and a small army of FBI agents that had mobilized their security detail within.

Eagles Christmas giveaway: Win a holiday prize package

The Philadelphia Eagles delivered an early Christmas present on Sunday by refusing to let the New York Giants end their playoff hopes.

In celebration of hope renewed (at least for a week), I’ve got two more gifts for Eagles Nation in advance of the holiday season.

My book on the Eagles’ Super Bowl season (with a foreword by Brandon Lee Gowton) is on sale until Christmas, and I’ll be giving away a pair of prizes while promoting it. Who doesn’t love free stuff, after all? Better yet: Who doesn’t love free Eagles stuff (again, at least for a week)?

Here are the details:

The giveaways

1.) Classic green Eagles hat and “Fly Eagles Fly” decal 2.) Brand-new 2018 Eagles New Era Sideline 9FIFTY Snapback

How to enter

a.) retweet the contest post on Twitter (below) b.) comment on this post with your favorite Eagles-related gift of all time

(tweet goes here)

Note: Feel free to tell the story behind your favorite gift, too! We’d probably all get a kick out of discussing that time you got your first playoff tickets or that beloved Nnamdi Asomugha jersey.

Winners

Two (2) winners — one for each giveaway — will be randomly selected on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Prizes will be mailed free of charge that week, so they should arrive before Christmas.

Buy the book

Whether or not you enter the contest, you’re more than welcome to get the book, too!

Published just weeks after the Super Bowl, it includes 180+ pages on the 2017 season, with profiles of every player on the championship team, recaps of all 19 games, onsite reporting from Super Bowl Week in Minneapolis and inside interviews about everything the Eagles accomplished on and off the field during their title run.

You can get a copy of “Hatched: The Unofficially Definitive Guide to the 2017 Super Bowl Champion Eagles” for just $6.99 on Lulu (click here) or at the regular price of $13.99 at Amazon (click here) and Barnes & Noble (click here).

And just in case you need a little slice of the pie before eating the whole thing, here’s an excerpt from “Hatched:”

Up until Jan. 29 inside the confines of St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center, the Eagles had never been a part of a show quite like Super Bowl Opening Night. A prime-time, made-for-TV special enabling an unprecedented amount of credentialed media to mingle with and ask questions of the NFL’s top two teams six days before the big game, the scene was filled to the brim with theatrics. A stage standing above what usually serves as the home ice for the Twin Cities’ Minnesota Wild glistened with purple-haze lighting – a nod to the hometown Vikings fans in the house – and would soon produce both indoor fireworks and cinematic introduction music for the unveiling of the night’s dignitary teams. Fans gawked from above, seated around the stadium and overlooking the arena floor, where throngs of reporters, camera crews and celebrity guests prepped themselves for roughly three hours of interview time.

Some of the former Eagles players who graced the festivities weren’t too far removed from their own NFL careers when Philadelphia last appeared in the Super Bowl, but in January 2005, Opening Night was just an afternoon Media Day, a shade of itself before the dawn of the Internet era. In 2018, in large part due to efforts by the league to milk views from its insatiable year-round audience, it was an event – capital “E.”

For the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, a powerhouse with mostly stoic figures, shrugging off the novelty of the night, either through “been there, done that” attitudes or an utter distaste for the silliness that often comes with thousands upon thousands of questions (some more serious than others), was like clockwork. Outside of some rare smiles from coach Bill Belichick or the mere sight of quarterback Tom Brady wearing a glove on each hand as he conducted his own podium session, there wasn’t much from New England’s end that screamed excitement. (And, in a sense, why would it when the team knew better than anyone that the true glory comes on Sunday, not the Monday before?)

But the Eagles were different. If there was one thing they didn’t have to worry about as they approached just their third Super Bowl in franchise history, in fact, it was soaking in the moment. For them, Opening Night may not have always carried an air of seriousness – even defensive end Brandon Graham spent part of his interview time showcasing the latest “underdog” mask to hit the Eagles’ locker room.

But that was exactly what so starkly differentiated them from the Patriots and defined Philadelphia’s big appearance under the Xcel lights, soon to be on the grandest stage of a season that so often had them written off: Looseness. Excitement. And a whole lot of having fun.

Safety Rodney McLeod, who took the Opening Night stage with a camera in hand, recording the media that were about to record him, was among dozens of Eagles who milled about the arena floor as the night crept just a few hours from midnight Eastern time. Like plenty of his teammates and unlike many of the Patriots who were required to do the same to start the night, his eyes rarely stopped scanning the room, absorbing the sights and, most of all, celebrating his team’s unlikely journey to Super Sunday.

“You never know when you’re going to be back on this stage again,” he said with a smile. “I’m taking it in with all of my brothers. It’s special because of our journey. Nobody thought we would be here.”

Plenty of McLeod’s teammates were taking it in, too. Jalen Mills embraced his flamboyant look – green hair, remember – by patrolling the scene with sunglasses, his inner movie star coming out to play. Patrick Robinson, another part of the championship secondary, couldn’t help but walk around carefully, grinning at the spectacle of it all. The “fallen soldiers” of the bunch – like Wentz and Jason Peters, who stood side by side when the Eagles first took the Opening Night stage – stood tall and welcomed applause. Foles, cast as a starting quarterback in the Super Bowl against all odds, outright downplayed the pressure of the moment, exuding tranquility.

At the time, the team’s comfort amid the glossy lead-up to Super Bowl LII, from Opening Night to consecutive days of interviews and hotel stays at the Mall of America, never guaranteed that the Eagles would also be ready for the real reason behind all the glitz of the week – the game itself. But just as Philadelphia’s personality mirrored its persistence during the season leading up to that point, the Birds’ early-week composure ultimately served as a forecast of what was to come.

And when the game finally arrived, unfolded and concluded, those exuberant and unflappable Eagles having discarded of the defending champs, there was an immediate, almost too-quick-to-fathom transition from appreciating their storybook presence at the big game to crowning them legends for winning it. Before long, Foles was in Disney World, a celebrated member of a championship float. Flocks of his teammates were ushered onto late-night TV. All of them were reunited for that once-unimaginable parade on Broad Street. And the world was left to grasp just how special this team truly was.

Any questions about the contest or book, feel free to fire away.

From Meal Kits to Grocery Stores, Amazon Aims to Feed America

Expanding on its AmazonFresh food delivery service and recent $13.7 billion Whole Foods Market retail acquisition in addition to its Amazon Go branded grocery stores, Amazon is expanding its food-related operations to launch ready-to-cook meal packages and delivery as it takes an even bigger bite out of the grocery business.

youtube

Now available in select markets, Amazon-branded meal kits (tagline: “We do the prep. You be the chef”) include raw ingredients to prepare meals including chicken tikka masala, falafel patties, salmon with soba noodles and tacos with pork that can be prepared in 30 minutes.

As USA Today notes, “Meal kits are a $2.2 billion industry (in the US), which is expected to grow 25-30% in the next five years, according to the Chicago-based food industry consulting firm Pentallect. Amazon’s entrance into the market sent shockwaves through the industry Monday, with shares of market leader Blue Apron tumbling roughly 11% on the news.”

The meal kits are already available to some customers of AmazonFresh with 17 different options like a Veggie Burger with Harissa Aioli to Steak Au Poivre with Parmesan Fries and all accompanied by the tagline “We do the prep. You be the chef.”

As for price, vegetarian options average $16 – or two for $20 – comparable to competitors Blue Apron and HelloFresh.

Since buying the organic grocer Whole Foods for $13.7 billion, Amazon has secured a beachhead in groceries and physical retail and will likely use Whole Foods’ more than 400+ locations as distribution centers for all their food services including meal kits.

“I’m not sure any of this will work, but that’s where they are headed,” said Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush Securities, to AP.

Amazon is also rolling out Amazon Pay Places, an extension of its mobile app, enabling customers to directly access third party services such as restaurants like T.G.I. Friday’s as it’s now doing.

#tech #news Amazon Pay Places lets… https://t.co/3zTmrgvtdp |Check out this cool video! https://t.co/7uQ3JYG1Sh @gamerretweeters @HyperRTs http://pic.twitter.com/qO3ut0JTkx

— eBargains Today (@eBargainsToday) July 19, 2017

At launch, Amazon is partnering with T.G.I. Friday’s customers in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Richmond, VA and Wilkes-Barre, PA.

“One of the things we’ve been doing the last couple of years is thinking about how to connect merchants with the Amazon customer base, knowing they are very active connected shoppers whether online or on mobile,” said Patrick Gauthier, VP Amazon Pay, to Pymnts.

“With what we are taking the lid off today — we are enabling merchants to instantly reach people who are highly mobile and very desirable as customers — without having to worry about app distribution.”

Gauthier noted that Amazon is not going into the order-ahead business and that Fridays has built the functionality they are managing.

“This is another example of how we are connecting the Amazon customer base to a third-party merchant and making it easier for them to transact by creating a framework that allows third party data and contacts to be passed into our app via an extension. It does not require merchants to build an app — it instead allows them to leverage the functionality they’ve built in a new way.”

For those less fortunate members of society who don’t know where their next meal is coming from, for whom AmazonFresh is beyond their grasp, Amazon is partnering with FareStart eateries to create jobs for those in need.

youtube

FareStart CEO Megan Karch graduated from the culinary training program, now in its 25th year. The nonprofit is dedicated to helping those who experiencing homelessness, in recovery, or those previously incarcerated to gain skills and employment in the food-service industry.

“I see students walk through our door with little sense of connection, little sense of hope, little sense of dignity, and to use their words, they come ‘broken,’” said Karch in a profile on Amazon’s blog.

“What I see when they graduate is a different person. I see them feel their own value. We use food as a tool for helping people see who they can be. We’re more than a restaurant. We’re more than a food business. We’re a life-changing business. FareStart is in the business of helping people change their life stories.”

In support of FareStart’s expanding services, Amazon will match all restaurant revenues and donations made to FareStart – up to $1 million – for the first 25 days of operation.

Jeff Wilke, Amazon CEO Worldwide Consumer, added, “I know that the work FareStart is doing is improving the ability of everybody who participates in the apprenticeship program to make a better life for themselves.”

Amazon has already donated more than 25,000 square feet of space within its headquarters buildings to FareStart. It just announced it’s opening a homeless transitional shelter inside one of its new Seattle headquarters buildings opening in 2020, to be run by Mary’s Place, a nonprofit that helps women and families who are experiencing homelessness.

Amazon donated space on its campus for Mary’s Place and announced matching grants of $1 million to Mary’s Place and $1 million for a Washington, D.C.-based organization called Friendship Place, providing emergency shelter for women and families, and services to help those in need find stable employment and permanent homes. And a fulfilling meal.

Your Monday Morning Roundup

No Embiid. No Butler. No win.

With two of their top three guys out Saturday night against Denver, it would be a tall task to upset the Nuggets on the road. They didn’t, as Nikola Jokic recorded 32 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists for his seventh triple-double of the season in a 126-110 Sixer loss.

JJ Redick led the Sixers with 22 points while Corey Brewer, who’s on another 10-day deal, put up 20. Ben Simmons put up a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

But some of the newer faces made a small impact in the loss. Shake Milton scored a career-high 11 points and was the only player with a + rating (+3), if you care about that kind of stuff whatsoever. Landry Shamet had eight points, while Furkan Korkmaz had seven.

Up next is a trip to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. LA might not have LeBron James, but the Sixers could still be without Butler because of his wrist injury.

Before we continue, a word from our sponsors:

Legal. Check out Krasno, Krasno and Onwudinjo when you need a workers’ compensation or social security attorney.

Shirts and more. Get geared up for the Sixers. Shop now.

Fresh. The best meal delivery service, without question. Sign up for Hello Fresh now and get $40 off your first two boxes.

Amazon. If you shop Amazon, support your favorite website and use our link.

The Roundup:

Start your week off with a brand new edition of the Crossing Broadcast.

The Flyers return from their bye week and the All-Star break tonight as they host the Winnipeg Jets at 7 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia and nationally on NBCSN.

The team brought Carter Hart back up, but also recalled forward Mikhail Vorobyev. Dale Weise was officially loaned to the Phantoms.

Claude Giroux enjoyed his All-Star break in San Jose and helped the Metropolitan team win the All-Star 3-on-3 games.

Chris Long discussed a ton of issues in his interviews last week, including the Carson Wentz story and if he’ll return to play football in 2019.

The Wentz vs. Foles debate has a new voice, kind of. It’s the Method Man, for short Mr. Meth. Moving on your left, ah!

In college hoops, Penn defeated St. Joe’s 78-70 and won the Big 5 for the first time since the 2001-02 season. It was also the first time since 2012-13 that someone other than Villanova won the Big 5.

Speaking of Nova, they took care of Seton Hall 80-52 yesterday at the Wells Fargo Center.

Temple lost a 14-point lead in the second half to Cincinnati in a 72-68 loss. The Bearcats pulled down 46 rebounds.

Drexel’s comeback fell just short in a one-point loss to Delaware.

In other sports news, Anthony Davis wants out of New Orleans.

Here’s where to bet on the Super Bowl in New Jersey.

Former St. Joe’s Prep head coach and current Temple assistant Gabe Infante was name the Don Shula NFL High School Coach of the Year.

The NHL All-Star Game and NFL Pro Bowl provided real-time player tracking.

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy did a dumb thing.

In the news, the iconic 30th Street Station flip board was removed.

The US and the Taliban have agreed to framework a peace deal. Also the government is back open.

The concept ‘Photo Voltaire’ – the explosion of the sun in my own words – and the chorus popped into my head. This has been an analog for the band ever since. All the touring, crowdfunding, fan support, and so much more that has happened for us since we gave in to total honesty and authenticity. Our fans connect with this and us.

Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck have been musical partners for 15+ years. During their time together they have weaved in and out of mainstream music like a constantly evolving musical fashion house. In the late 90’s they were responsible for massive radio and sales hits such as “Blind” (Korn), “Blue Monday,” ” Stitches,” and “Fiction” (Orgy), and recently “Crawl Back In” and “Let Down” (Dead By Sunrise, with their pal Chester Bennington). After enjoying years of traditional music business success, they have spent the last 10 years methodically moving away from the mainstream approach that put them on the map, opting to carefully steer their fans in a new direction, towards their new independent alternative electro rock project Julien-K – which sounds more at home with the likes of modern acts such as M83, The Kills, LCD Soundsystem, The Naked And Famous, Empire Of The Sun, and even The Black Keys (see Derakh’s sleazy electro-blues guitar playing on “We’re Here With You”).

2009 saw the long-awaited release of their debut album Death to Analog, which included long-time collaborators Anthony “Fu” Valcic and Brandon Belsky, with Belsky and drummer Elias Andra rounding out the live show. After Belsky and Andra’s 2010 departure, Julien-K’s studio line-up solidified as the trio of Derakh, Shuck and Valcic, while collaborations with electronic music innovators such as Bryan Black (Motor, Black Asteroid), Sharooz, Z-Listers, Vandal, and others revved up the writing phase of 2012’s sophomore We’re Here With You. The touring cycle that followed saw the band hit the south-west US and Europe – with festivals as far and wide as Hildesheim (Germany), Utrecht (Netherlands), and Vladivostok (Russia) – and many sold-out shows in their native LA.

In July 2014, Julien-K launched their third album cycle with a 3-song prelude to an ambitious double concept album / esthetic movement that they called California Noir^^. The CA Noir spirit was given a visual representation in November 2014 with the release of the haunting video for the title track, showcasing the struggle to discover the meaning of the Californian dream.

The concept continued in 2015 and 2016 with two wildly successful Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns and subsequent (self-)releases of the two chapters California Noir: Analog Beaches and Digital Cities and California Noir: Nightlife in Neon, which established the band as musical innovators, digital pioneers, and fully independent music entrepreneurs shaking up the underground scene.

In 2017, the band released Time Capsule: A Future Retrospective, a 4 disk, 64 song mega-package aimed at the band’s core fanbase, which consisted of unreleased songs, b-sides, never heard before remixes, and live versions of some of their biggest hits.

Julien-K has become a crowdfunding giant, with all 4 of their campaigns hitting and holding the #1 Indiegogo chart position for the duration of the campaigns.

After a successful summer 2017 tour alongside PIG and Ghostfeeder, 2018 will see the band hit the stages around the world again on headline tours, as well as in support of their friends Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Cult. Being the workaholics that they are, Ryan, Amir and Fu are also already working on a new album, Harmonic Disruptor (this time with the addition of new collaborators Bidi Cobra and Alex Gonzales), that will see the band go back to their roots, while including some new aural surprises at the same time. Catch them on the road this year to find out more!

At launch, Amazon is partnering with T.G.I. Friday’s customers in Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Richmond, VA and Wilkes-Barre, PA.
