"The Days of Perky Pat" is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, first published in 1963 in Amazing magazine.

Plot 
In this novel, survivors of a global thermonuclear war live in isolated enclaves in California, surviving off what they can scrounge from the wastes and supplies delivered from Mars. The older generation spend their leisure time playing with the eponymous doll in an escapist role-playing game that recalls life before the apocalypse — a way of life that is being quickly forgotten. At the story's climax, a couple from one isolated outpost of humanity plays a game against the dwellers of another outpost (who play the game with a doll similar to Perky Pat dubbed "Connie Companion") in deadly earnest. The survivors' shared enthusiasm for the Perky Pat doll and the creation of her accessories from vital supplies is a sort of mass delusion that prevents meaningful re-building of the shattered society. In stark contrast, the children of the survivors show absolutely no interest in the delusion and have begun adapting to their new life.

References in other works 
Elements of the story were later incorporated into Dick's novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, written in 1964 and published in 1965, in which a Perky Pat simulation game is induced by drugs and miniature models.

David Cronenberg's 1999 film eXistenZ, which involves a virtual reality game that blurs reality and fantasy, visually refers to the Dick short story when its two stars, Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh, consume fast food from containers marked "Perky Pat's".

Takenoko (, which means bamboo shoot in katakana) is a board game created by Antoine Bauza and published by Bombyx and Matagot in 2011. Matagot also produced a Collector's Edition which features deluxe, over-sized pieces and game board.

Premise and Gameplay
Players control the gardener of the Japanese Emperor's bamboo garden, as well as its resident panda, a gift from the Emperor of China.

At the start of the game, the board consists only of the central pond of the bamboo garden - players take turns to plant new hexagonal bamboo plots (three colours green, yellow and pink), as well as to add irrigation and improvements to the plots, move the gardener to grow bamboo, and move the panda who eats the bamboo.

Turn structure
On each turn, players can choose between a number of different actions; laying a new plot on the garden, taking an irrigation channel from the stock, moving the gardener, moving the panda, or drawing a new objective card.  On a regular turn, each player can pick any two of those actions.

However, there is also a die that determines the weather conditions for the round - sunny (pick three actions rather than two), rainy (choose a plot to grow more bamboo), storm (move the panda to any location), windy (can select same action twice) or cloudy (choose an improvement to place on a plot).

Objective cards
Players earn points by completing objective cards, which belong to one of three categories: 
 Plot cards require a certain arrangement of coloured plots to be present on the garden.  All plots must be irrigated in order to count.
 Gardener objective cards require certain colours of bamboo (sometimes with certain improvements) to be grown to various heights.
 Panda objectives require the panda to have eaten certain amounts of different colours of bamboo on that player's turns.

Players start the game with one objective card from each category, and can have up to a maximum of five in their hand.  Cards have different point values, depending how difficult that particular objective is to complete (and sometimes the colours of plots or bamboo).

Plot and gardener objectives can be completed by either player; it is possible for a player to unknowingly complete an opponent's objectives through their placement of tiles, or movement of the gardener.  However, panda objectives can only be completed by using the bamboo collected by that player.

The first player to reach a certain number of completed objectives (9 in a two-player game, 8 in a three-player game, 7 in a four-player game) receives a bonus Emperor card worth 2 points, and triggers the last round of the game.

Expansion
The Takenoko: Chibis expansion adds a female panda and panda cubs to the game, as well as including new powerful bamboo plots and plot objectives.

200 Press is the sixth solo EP by English musician James Blake. Blake played all the instruments and produced the record. It was released on 1-800-Dinosaur on 8 December 2014. The name of the album (and the name of the title track) are a reference to the fact that only 200 copies of the vinyl edition would be pressed.

Composition
200 Press contains further experimentation by Blake. He most notably used a sample of Andre 3000's verse from Devin the Dude's "What a Job".

The final track, "Words That We Both Know" is a poem set to disjointed piano.

Reception

The album received general acclaim from critics, mainly praising Blake's continued exploration and inventiveness. Consequence of Sound praised Blake for this, saying "... it’s refreshing to see Blake immerse himself in experimentation."

AbsolutePunk gave the album an 8.5/10, stating "The music contained on 200 Press is some of the most forward thinking stuff James Blake has done yet".

Moon Ska World, formerly known as Moon Ska Europe, was a ska record label based in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1998 as the European sister label of the defunct American label Moon Ska Records, which was owned by Robert "Bucket" Hingley of The Toasters. Moon Ska World is a licensed affiliate run by Laurie "Lol" Pryor, former manager of The Business and Dojo Records and Link Records head. Due to illnesses in both Pryor and the other principal owner, Sonia "Red" Bailey, as well as deaths in their families, the label was put on hold until 2006, when Pryor changed its name to Moon Ska World and began running the label on his own.

Unlike its American counterpart, Moon Ska Europe released bands from genres outside of ska, but in 2006, the label shifted its focus exclusively towards ska and old reggae. In addition to releasing more than thirty albums licensed from Moon Ska Records, as well as early albums by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Buck-O-Nine, Moon Ska Europe released albums by Spunge (who later signed with Warner Bros. Records), Whitmore, King Prawn (re-releases of their first two albums) and Less Than Jake (their debut European release). In 2006, Moon Ska World signed UK underground ska act The Big, European reggae act The Upsessions, Hawaii ska/soul act Go Jimmy Go and former Bodysnatchers and Special AKA vocalist Rhoda Dakar. They also released albums by The Toasters, The Riffs, 2 Tone supergroup Skaville UK, and skinhead reggae act Symarip.

The label's final release was the Peace Love Faith Hope Respect Co-Exist album by the Dub City Rockers in 2011. Pryor died in May 2022.

Gytis Ivanauskas (born 1 June 1980 in Ukmergė) is a Lithuanian actor, dancer and choreographer. In 2005, he established his own theatre, called Gytis Ivanauskas Theatre (GI Theatre).

Biography 
Between 1996 and 1998, he studied arts at the National M. K. Čiurlionis School of Art and in 1999 was admitted to the faculty of Theatre and Cinema at the Lithuanian Music Academy. In 2004 he obtained Master's degree (dancing actor).

Ivanauskas entered the professional stage in 2000 when he played the teenager Kurt in M. Von Mayenburg play "Fireface" which was directed by Oskaras Koršunovas. Biggest roles that made him famous are Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (director Oskaras Koršunovas) and Raskolnikov in "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (director Gintaras Varnas).

Ivanauskas also takes part in various dance projects, created scenography for his one-man show "Lighthouse" (director Gintaras Varnas). In 2005 he established his own Gytis Ivanauskas Theatre (GIT) where he has directed shows like "Hallmark", "Men in White Skirts", "Red Shoes", "The Birds" and others.

In 2005 he received the Lithuanian Theatre Union's prize "Fortune" for Raskolnikov in the "Crime and punishment" and was nominated for the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture prize "The golden stage cross" for Raskolnikov in "Crime and punishment" and "Boy in Lighthouse".

Lolita Zero returned to the national selection in 2022 with "Not Your Mother". This time the character was more a hermaphrodite singing about releasing inner demons and letting it go on the dance floor. The act placed 3rd.

The Jaburu Palace () is the official residence of the Vice President of Brazil. The building was designed, along with the rest of the city of Brasília, by Oscar Niemeyer and inaugurated in 1977. It is located near the Alvorada Palace. The name comes from a common bird of the region, the Jabiru.

The building was designed in 1973 and inaugurated in 1977 – seventeen years after the inauguration of Brasília. Adalberto Pereira dos Santos, vice president of Ernesto Geisel, was the first resident, followed by Aureliano Chaves (vice president of João Figueiredo) and Itamar Franco (vice president of Fernando Collor). Marco Maciel (vice president of Fernando Henrique Cardoso) occupied the building from 1995 to 2002.

The building
To the side of the lagoon that gave the name to it and to the edges of the Paranoá Lake, the Jaburu Palace was projected by architect Oscar Niemeyer to be the official residence of the vice president of Brazil, with the urbanistic concept proposed by Lúcio Costa for Brasília.

The main characteristic of the palace and its differential from others, such as the Alvorada Palace, is the fact of it being a construction exclusively destined to housing. Its 4,283 square meters privilege the external area, with generous verandas and common areas.

Located along the Presidential Way, between the palaces of Planalto and Alvorada, the Jaburu Palace is in the topographical level of the Paranoá Lake, occupying an area of 190,000 square meters. In its gardens, projected by landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, species of typical trees join the ornamental plants brought from other regions of the Brazil.

Natural aviary

The tranquillity of the place helps to transform it into a natural aviary of rheas, that freely circulate in the nearby green areas.
