I win. Gimme food.
—Elma, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
A character is given food for his kind and selfless actions to the bystander in trouble. Or simply for accomplishing some random task.
Sometimes, the task itself consists of gathering the necessary ingredients to make the food reward in the first place. May overlap with Edible Collectible and Edible Treasure, especially in video games.
Compare Food as Bribe, Tastes Like Friendship, I Was Told There Would Be Cake. Borders on New Skill as Reward when your reward is a new cooking recipe. Contrast Denied Food as Punishment.
Examples:

Advertising
- A Dunkin Donuts commercial claims that its iced coffee is sufficient reward for a friend coming to help move.
- This Whataburger ad which airs from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Anime & Manga
- Inverted in an episode of Black God, where a girl is revealed to be an Improbable Weapon User after being bought a bowl of ramen.
- Tubby also receives this treatment in an episode of the Little Lulu anime after inadvertently finding Lulu's pop's lucky gold piece in the mud, while making a mud cake to pass off as a real cake ( He and the others ate the entire cake that was intended for Lulu's pop).
- Par for the course in Toriko, since the food's what they're after in the first place.
- The "Half-Price Club" in Ben-To is dedicated to getting half-price Bento at supermarkets. It's a fighting anime. The hero is knocked unconscious twice in his first two attempts to get cheap bento. The floors of supermarkets are left strewn with unconscious and bleeding shoppers.
- In Silver Spoon, the standard reward for doing something good (like participating in the campus clean-up or winning the athletic competition with the nearby industrial school) is a Mongolian barbecue.
- Elma's preferred reward for any favor or victory in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. A fine example would be at the end of her battle with Tohru in chapter 64, where she says to Tohru "I win. Gimme food." This prompts a brief argument over who won and who should buy the other food, before Kobayashi says she'll just buy food for both of them.
Comic Books
- An Archie story had Jughead rescuing Archie, Betty, Veronica and Reggie from a cave-in while they were exploring a cave.
Betty: How does it feel to be a hero, Juggie?
Jughead: (balloon-bellied; picking his teeth with a toothpick) How does it feel? Nice and full! - A standard trope in British humour comics such as The Beano and The Dandy is for the Naughty Is Good main character's shenanigans to somehow, possibly inadvertently, help a rich adult, who rewards them with a "slap-up feed" at a restaurant (which for some reason is always bangers and mash, represented as a huge mountain of potato with sausages sticking out of it).
Comic Strips
- In an old Donald Duck newspaper strip, Donald wins a pie-eating contest. When the judge holds him up by the arm and declares him the winner, Donald looks bloated and uncomfortable, but smiling because he won ... until he discovers that First Prize is — you guessed it — a pie.
Fan Fiction
- Old West: When Grace Glossy realizes she can't fix by herself the damages in her ranch, she reluctantly hires the muscle of Rattlesnake Jake. After the hard day's work, she rewards him with a meal instead of money like he expected. The outlaw isn't pleased until he realizes the meal to be the best he's had in ages.
- In the next chapter, Jake unexpectedly teaches Grace's son to overcome his visual impairment. Grateful for this, Grace makes another meal for Jake and relinquishes entirely her decision not to feed the outlaw.
Films — Animated
- Subverted in Balto where Steele frames Balto by throwing sausage links that he stole himself from a butcher shop at Balto. The butcher blames Balto for stealing the sausages then promptly rewards Steele with the sausages that he stole himself.
Films — Live-Action
- Seven Samurai: the peasants can only offer food to the samurai they hire to defend them from bandits. Even still, this means that the peasants don't have enough rice for themselves and must subsist on millet.
- Ghostbusters (1984): Venkmann very formally gives Egon candy as a reward, saying, "You've earned it."
Literature
- In Dragon Bones the heroes, having eaten nothing but stale bread and mouldy cheese for quite some time, appreciate their edible reward for saving a village very much.
- There is a Clifford the Big Red Dog book where Clifford is rewarded with some meat by a meat truck driver after helping him with his truck while looking for Emily Elizabeth.
- Invoked by Ciaphas Cain in Death Or Glory; after spending the entire novel leading an epic trek to safety through Ork infested territory he's pleased to realise that the regiment that's been sent to meet his group of ragtag survivors is Valhallan and promptly asks for his long awaited cup of tanna.
Live-Action TV
- Played straight in Survivor. The winners of a challenge with food as the prize might get more to eat after the challenge then than the losers do in the entire period between tribal councils.
- Referenced in How I Met Your Mother: People helping friends move in exchange for beer and pizza.
- Several rewards in Kid Nation were food items.
Mythology & Religion
- In the Book of Revelation from The Bible: Among six other promises, Jesus says that those who overcome will be given the right to eat from the Tree of Life, which is in the Paradise of God. He will also give them the "hidden manna", referring to the manna that was stored in a pot inside the Ark of the Covenant in the Book of Exodus.
Tabletop Games
- Exalted: Sidereals working for the Bureau of Destiny receive their salaries in the form of Ambrosia and Quintessence. Both are edible and delicious. Young Sidereals are advised not to eat their paycheques.
- Several role-playing games using counters for 'rubber points' (e.g. bennies, FATE-points et sim.) explicitly advise against using hard candies as markers because they tend to be eaten instead of used.
Video Games
- In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, your reward for killing Dracula is occasionally curry... the recurring food thrown by Soma Cruz.
- World of Warcraft tends to have these, with the reward being a healing item which is slightly better than the ones available at the time.
- Common in Final Fantasy XI where some quests have non craftable food as reward, since food is Serious Business because of the stats this is often falls in either Too Awesome to Use or Joke Item.
- Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: Many sidequests in the Wildlands have food as a reward in addition to the usual stat boosts. Unusually for the trope, Lightning doesn't get to eat any of it (at the player's direction, anyways); her chocobo, the Angel of Valhalla, is wounded and refuses food from anyone but her, and the sustenance is all that stands between him and recovery.
- The Elder Scrolls
- Throughout the series, food is pretty much Vendor Trash, apart from the fact you can use some of it in alchemy and some of it offers minor health/fatigure restoration. Some quests give you it as a flavor reward though, usually if you've helped someone dirt-poor (who has nothing more to offer) or who is just incredibly stingy.
- The series also has a number of fantastic alcoholic beverages which are likewise given out as quest rewards. This is unsurprisingly common when completing quests for the owners or staff of bars and taverns.
- At least one quest in Oblivion sees you get a free beer placed on a bar next to you during the course of a quest.
- In Fallout: New Vegas, several quests end with the offer of free food or drink. Thanks to the need to eat in Hardcore Mode and the Hyperactive Metabolism otherwise present in the game, this often amounts to free healing. For instance, helping save a wasteland rancher couple's mutant two-headed cows earns you ten pounds of steak, good for at least 300 points of health.
- In Sam And Max Hit The Road, the Bigfoot shaman rewards Max with his prized medallion after he and Sam save the day; Max wastes little time in unwrapping his reward and wolfing it down.
"Mmm, chocolatey, foil-wrapped goodness!"
- Quoth President Ronnie in Bad Dudes: "Thanks for saving me, Dudes! Let's go for a burger. Ha ha ha!"
- In Super Mario 64, Princess Peach rewards Mario for saving her and her castle by baking him a cake.
- In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Bowser is sent a cake for his part in stopping Fawful's plot.
- Similarly, but more useful in the long term, there's a couple of side-events in Tales of the Abyss where you get recipes for helping people out. Cooking can be an important game mechanic for healing up between battles, so it's better than it sounds.
- Kingdom of Loathing: The reward for clearing the cellar of the Typical Tavern is three glasses of Typical Tavern Swill, equivalent to a basic mixed drink (which can further be improved with the Disco Bandit skill Advanced Cocktailcrafting). Also, the final reward for finishing the side quest given from Inside Degrassi Knoll are a half-dozen Mushroom Fermenting Solutions, which can possibly be crafted into epic-level booze, some of the best in the game, depending on what mushrooms you ferment.
- In this game, edibles are an important part of gameplay (they allow you to get more done each day, and may help you level up or grant a temporary status effect) so these are actually quite useful rewards.
- It may be worth noting as well that meat itself is used as the game's main currency, both justifying and parodying the tendency for random monsters to be carrying money, often proportional to their difficulty level.
- Portal: GlaDOS claims that the reward for completing the test chambers is cake. Unfortunately...
- ADOM: the reward you get from the Tiny Girl for rescuing her puppy from a scary cave? A piece of candy. The actual reward is the cave itself - it's a good place to train your stats, and has a guaranteed vault at the bottom.
- In Ōkami, various characters offer you food after you've helped them out. Some, however, request that you wait until it's night.
- In the Animal Crossing games, sometimes the villagers will give you fruit that is foreign to your town as a reward for doing them a favor.
- Pretty much the whole point of Bar Oasis. Your goal is to try to fill the titular bar's shelves with alcohol. Though this can be inverted in Bar Oasis 2's "A Day in the Bar" mode. In that mode, if you do poorly, you lose those bottles of liquor.
- In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep the Million Dreams Award in Disney Town is a special type of ice cream, the particular variety of which is different depending on which of the playable characters receives it.
- In the Monster Hunter series, the reward for completing certain quests is an upgrade to the Felyne kitchen (though not food itself). This includes adding additional menu items to the kitchen, upgrading the quality of an ingredient, adding a rotisserie spit that lets the player cook multiple steaks at once, etc.
- The reward lists in Disgaea levels often include the various consumable items you can use to restore your stats mid-level.
- Yes, Your Grace: Some peasants are grateful enough for the help provided to them by King Eryk that they show up a few weeks later with a food item that can be added to the castle's food supplies.
Web Original
- A darker variation occurs as of Survival of the Fittest v5, in which BKA winners also get food along with a new weapon. BKA stands for Best Kill Award.
- On Homestar Runner, The Cheat is frequently paid in food for his (lackluster) animating skills:
- After seeing the music video for "Everybody to the Limit", Strong Bad offers to buy the Cheat a pizza.
- In "New Boots", Strong Bad decides the Cheat's cartoon is worth "an iron cup full of Brunswick stew".
Strong Bad: But lemme tell ya's.
- Coach Z offers the Cheat a slice of "chin-strap pizza" for doing a video for Coach Z's "Rap Song".
- Whateley Universe: Clover is rewarded a cookie by Palantir for helping with their mission.
- Good work, Clover! Pally said. Have a cookie!
Web Comics
- Stand Still, Stay Silent: Mikkel knows that Lalli won't understand him if he thanks him verbally for a job well done because of the Language Barrier between them, so he gives him a cookie alongside his thanks.
Web Video
- The TRY Channel: Of the random variety- one episode has Dermot and George trying Reese's; peanut butter is a bit of a Berserk Button, especially for Dermot. After George claims "There is no way you can get us to do this video," two Heineken's slide into view. Cue a resigned "Alright" from Dermot.
Western Animation
- Subverted in one episode of Doug, where Doug finds an envelope containing a huge wad of money. Everyone (including the police, who give him back the envelope after it goes unclaimed for a whole month) tells him to keep the money, but he eventually discovers it was lost by a slightly loopy elderly woman. He does the right thing and returns the money, and she rewards him for his good deed with a pack of chewing gum.
- In The Critic, Jay discovers that the Oscar statuettes are actually chocolate.
"Now I want one even more!"

- At the end of the Mr. Bogus episode "Kung Fu Campout", Tommy offers a slice of cake to Bogus and Brattus, even after their attempts to claim the cake for themselves end up to naught. Justified, since Tommy probably did it as his way of thanking his two miniature companions for keeping Ratty and Mole away from the cake.
- Scooby-Doo usually gets a pre-task reward of Scooby Snacks. Shaggy will get tempted by them as well, or some other concoction Daphne cooks up (and just happens to have handy).
- Quick Draw McGraw rewards his bloodhound companion Snuffles with a dog biscuit, which after eaten sends him into flights of ecstacy.
Real Life
- This is very common in the more traditional parts of the U.S. It is understood that when you enlist a gang of your friends and acquaintances for some big task like moving or yard/farm work, you will at the very least provide lunch or dinner.
- Beer can be a "currency" among friends for small favours.
- In Canada, a case of beer is a usually unstated automatic reward for helping someone move, fix their car, name your task that takes a good few hours out of a day.
- "I'll give you beer if you edit my paper" is not an uncommon sentence among university students.
- Lollipops at the doctor's office. Alternatively, the jar of sweets on the teacher's desk.
- Going out for pizza or ice cream after winning a ball game or getting an "A" on one's report card.
- Fast food contests such as McDonald's Monopoly and its clones offer numerous prizes, with the most common being "instant win" coupons for free food (usually items that don't carry game pieces).
- Par for the course when training an animal. Some might be willing to work for just praise or toys, but the majority of critters learn best when an extra-good treat is the reward for a job well done.
- Several bowl games in American College Football.
- If you wish to thank a nurse for taking such good care of you, and you wish to send a gift to him/her (as opposed to just a thank-you note), edible gifts sent to the whole team s/he is part of (such as all the nurses on 2 West, as opposed to just that one nurse) are the best way to go. This is because many hospitals have policies against nurses and doctors accepting personal gifts (with a few exceptions, such as homemade items). If you send a consumable and relatively inexpensive item to the whole team (e.g. a fruit basket, one of those edible fruit arrangements, popcorn, chocolates, a cheese board, etc.), it doesn't create the appearance of a conflict of interest, bribery, or other impropriety.

This page provides access to a large multilingual semantic lexicon. Words in each language are grouped into groups that overlap in meaning (synsets) and these synsets are linked by typed semantic relations (such as is-a (hypernymy) and part-whole (meronomy)). These synsets then linked to a shared index of concepts. The basic structure is called a wordnet, based on the Princeton WordNet of English.
The data comes from open wordnets in a variety of languages, all linked through the Collaborative Interlingual Index (CILI). The goal is to make it easy to use wordnets across multiple languages. The individual wordnets have been made by many different projects and vary greatly in size and accuracy. We have defined a shared representation, merged different versions and projects and put it in one place with a variety of useful interfaces. The Open Multilingual Wordnet and its components are open: they can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone for any purpose. There is a fuller list of wordnets at the Global Wordnet Association's Wordnets in the World page.

Smack provides an easy mechanism for attaching arbitrary properties to packets. Each property has a String name, and a value that is a Java primitive (int, long, float, double, boolean) or any Serializable object (a Java object is Serializable when it implements the Serializable interface).
Using the API
All major objects have property support, such as Message objects. The following code demonstrates how to set properties:
Message message = chat.createMessage(); // Add a Color object as a property. message.setProperty("favoriteColor", new Color(0, 0, 255)); // Add an int as a property. message.setProperty("favoriteNumber", 4); chat.sendMessage(message);
Getting those same properties would use the following code:
Message message = chat.nextMessage(); // Get a Color object property. Color favoriteColor = (Color)message.getProperty("favoriteColor"); // Get an int property. Note that properties are always returned as // Objects, so we must cast the value to an Integer, then convert // it to an int. int favoriteNumber = ((Integer)message.getProperty("favoriteNumber")).intValue();
Objects as Properties
Using objects as property values is a very powerful and easy way to exchange data. However, you should keep the following in mind:
XML Format
The current XML format used to send property data is not a standard, so will likely not be recognized by clients not using Smack. The XML looks like the following (comments added for clarity):
<!-- All properties are in a x block. --> <properties xmlns="http://www.jivesoftware.com/xmlns/xmpp/properties"> <!-- First, a property named "prop1" that's an integer. --> <property> <name>prop1</name> <value type="integer">123</value> <property> <!-- Next, a Java object that's been serialized and then converted from binary data to base-64 encoded text. --> <property> <name>blah2</name> <value type="java-object">adf612fna9nab</value> <property> </properties>
The currently supported types are: integer, long, float, double, boolean, string, and java-object.

Class.js represents my attempt to add semi-classical object-oriented programming capacity to JavaScript without altering the language. What this means is that with Class.js, you can now declare class objects in much the same way you would expect in languages like Java, C#, and C++ (but sorry, no multiple inheritance).
var Class = require("Class.js"); //The class declarator itself.
var Private = Class.Private;
var Protected = Class.Protected;
var Public = Class.Public;
var Property = Class.Property;
var Static = Class.Static;
var Final = Class.Final;
//Declare "class SampleBase {}"
var SampleBase = new Class("SampleBase", {
//Private Static Data
counter: Private(Static(null)),
//Private Data
className: Private("Sample");
//Private Method
incrementCounter: Private(function incrementCounter() {
++this.counter;
}),
//Protected Property
Counter: Protected(Property({
get: function() { return counter; }
})
//Static Constructor
StaticConstructor: function() {
this.counter = 0;
},
//Instance Constructor
Constructor: Public(function() {
this.incrementCounter();
console.log("Created SampleBase instance #" + this.counter);
})
});
//Declare descendant class Sample as a singleton
var Sample = new class("Sample", {
Extends: SampleBase,
//Private Static Data
instance: Private(Static(null)),
//Instance Constructor
Constructor: Private(function() {
console.log("Created Sample instance");
}),
//Public Static Method
getInstance: Public(Static(function() {
//'this' inside a static function refers to the
//class static scope.
if (!this.instance)
this.instance = new this.Instance();
return this.instance;
})),
//Public Instance Method
getInstanceCount: Public(function() {
return this.Counter;
})
});
var sample = Sample.getInstance();
console.log(sample.getInstanceCount());
To implement Class.js, I needed WeakMap support, which isn't always available. I created a shim to take care of that. Since WeakMaps aren't completely implementable in pure JavaScript, I created a version that leaks memory as little as possible. The result is a WeakMap implementation that only leaks a single GUID string per object stored. Short of this leakage, this WeakMap should be nearly as secure as the native implementation would be. This WeakMap is complete as per the current specification.
I also needed a way of reliably being able to ensure that I could call any class function on its instance. This meant being able to dynamically re-bind function references. Since Function.bind() doesn't allow the re-binding I needed, I implemented this little quickie. There's almost no need to use it directly though. From any class function, "this.Delegate()" will do the work for you. You can pass it the string name of a class member function or a function definition.
From outside a class instance, Functor can be used to ensure a specific object is used when a callback is needed.
var Functor = require("Functor");
var someObj = {
count: 7
};
var method = new Functor(someObj, function() {
console.log(++this.count);
});
window.setTimeout(method, 1000); //Prints "8" 1 second later
Just because I wanted to be able to constrain a list of values, I created an Enum class as well.
var Enum = require("Enum");
var WeekDay = new Enum("Sunday", ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]);
var day = new WeekDay(); //Defaults to "Sunday"
day.value = 2; //
console.log(day.name); //Prints "Tuesday"
day.name = "Friday";
console.log(day.value); //Prints "5"
day.name = "?" //Throws!
day.value = -1; //Throws!
console.log(day.isEnum); //Prints "true"~~
The enum values can be objects as well. Just declare the Enum as an object
instead of an array.
Example
-------
var ObjectEnum = new Enum("default", { default: { foo: null }, something: { bar: function() {} }, }); ```
Since this readme can't really convey enough about how to use Class.js, I'm making a Wiki tutorial to explain the ins and outs of the library.

Marathon Skills is a running festival held every year in a different part of the world. There can be three events: a Full Marathon, Half Marathon and a Fun Run - so the festival caters to all abilities and experience. In past years, marathons have been held in Osaka, Japan (2014); Leipzig, Germany (2013); Hanoi, Vietnam (2012) and York, England (2011). This year, Marathon Skills is very excited to be partnering with S Paulo, Brazil to put on the biggest running festival yet. Brazil's financial centre and the biggest city in South America, S Paulo will be on display to the thousands of runners who will weave their way past skyscrapers, green parks and magnificent architecture. This festival has attracted a record number of runners from all over the world. Attention will be on the contingents from Kenya and Jamaica as we hope to see Dawit Admasu's 2014 S Silvestre time broken. (The Ethiopian completed the race in 45 minutes 4 seconds.) The carnival atmosphere promises entertainment for all spectators as well as a party to round off the festivities in Ibirapuera Park. The events: - The "Samba" Full Marathon will start at Rua dos Americanos at 6am on 5 September 2015. - The "Jongo" Half Marathon will start at 7am on 6 September 2015. Runners will depart from near the intersection of Rua Ciniciata Braga and Avenida Brigadeiro Lu Ant io. - The "Capoeira" 5km Fun Run will start at 3 pm on 6 September 2015. Our fun runners will start from the UNINOVE Memorial. Thank you to all the volunteers who will be helping!

A library largely composed of tables representing the New Zealand Census and a helper functions to manipulate them. The data can be either a normal dataframe (tibble) or a simple features data table (GIS).
Check out the vignette and package help at spatialanalytics.co.nz.
Please be aware that this is a rather large package due to the amount of data contained within it, and therefore takes a little while to download.
To install the package:
devtools::install_github("phildonovan/nzcensr")
Four main functions for use:
nz_census_tables
: returns tables describing the different tables and optionally the topics and variables within each table.select_by_topic
: selects from a regular ‘wide’ census table the topic by pattern matching.filter_by_area
: filters out a census table based on geographical areas within and larger geographical area e.g. area units within the Auckland Regions.transform_census
: performs different functions to the data such as transforming it to long, or cleaning the variables.Let’s take a quick look.
# Load libraries

The Python script returned the following linear regression formula:
graduation rate = .2528 -.3133(% students receiving Pell Grants) + .0632(% white students) + .1777(% full-time faculty)
The first number, or the constant, is the expected graduation rate (25.28%) of a college with no white students, no full-time faculty, and no students receiving Pell Grants. This is not a realistic constant but an important starting point for the formula. The coefficients on the independent variables are the effect of that variable on the graduation rate when holding the other independent variables constant. For example, considering two schools with the same percentage of full-time faculty and Pell recipients, a one-unit increase in the percentage of white students would increase the graduation rate by 6.32%. Of the three independent variables considered in this regression, only the increased presence of Pell recipients has a negative effect on the graduation rate.
For full results, see the table below.
| Variable | Coefficient | Standard Error | T-score |
|---|---|---|---|
| % of students receiving Pell Grants | -.3133 | .069 | -4.552 |
| % of students identifying as white | .0632 | .046 | 1.386 |
| % of full-time faculty | .1777 | .100 | 1.778 |
| Constant | .2528 | .043 | 5.850 |
The regression results suggest a positive influence of full-time faculty on graduation rates, Pell recipients and white student percentages being equal. However, when performing statistical analyses, the most important consideration in whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis (in this case, the null hypothesis is that an increase in full-time faculty does not have a positive impact on graduation rates) is the presence or absence of statistical significance. Simply put, statistical significance is measured using a standard threshold, either 5% or 10% - this means that the chance the non-zero coefficient is random is less than 5% or 10%.
The independent variable of interest, percent of full-time faculty, is significant at the 10% level (with a critical value of 1.645) but not the 5% level. This means that it may have some positive influence but because the 95% confidence interval (considered the range of plausible coefficients) includes zero, it is not possible to conclude there is a statistically significant effect.
Because it is not possible with the current data set and methods to determine the presence or absence of a statistically significant relationship between full-time faculty and graduation rates, more research will need to be done. A variety of methods are suitable for further investigation, including regression discontinuity studies (looking at schools above and below a certain threshold of full-time faculty) and longitudinal studies (examining one school over time as its faculty composition changes). The results of a number of studies using quantitative data to examine effects will help colleges decide where to best allocate resources for student success, whether that is to increasing full-time faculty lines or elsewhere.


Ben, 31, and Jordan, 25, had been visiting relatives in Hull on Monday, November 4, when they were confronted by a group of around 10 to 15 people.
The couple were dragged from their vehicle and subjected to verbal abuse and false accusations, with the assailants shouting, ‘we know what you’ve done’. At the time of the incident, neither Ben or Jordan knew what was going on.
Footage of the horrifying incident was shared via a Facebook live stream, by the vigilante ‘paedophile hunter’ group Yorkshire Child Protectors (YCP), where it was viewed over 30,000 times.
After the incident, Ben and Jordan had to endure being arrested and kept in cells for 22 hours before officers realised they were innocent of the accusations made against them, as Hull Live reports.
Opening up about the traumatic experience, Ben said:
I thought they were going to try and steal the car.
They were just flashing their phones at us and videoing it. They dragged Jordan out from the car. They took us a bit further down the road and put us in a corner out of the way.
I was just scared and didn’t know what was happening. I was hysterical and trying to remain calm but it was hard because they kept telling us to face what we had done.
The couple later found out the group had accused them of having ‘molested girls’, believing they were the individuals messaging a decoy posing as a young girl.
Ben and Jordan have now had their names cleared, and the YCP – who have since removed the video – have issued a public apology through their Facebook page.
In a statement, a representative for the group explained they had been given ‘intel’ by a family member, which they apparently had ‘no reason not to believe’.
The statement went on to claim the group will be willing to take responsibility for their part in the wrongful arrest of Ben and Jordan, but ‘won’t be taking all the blame’:
We are heartbroken for these two men and I will personally be sending them a message with a sorry that we messed up on our part.
However, for Ben and Jordan, an apology cannot undo the damage which has already been done. The ordeal has understandably had a devastating impact on the two men, who remain fearful for their safety even after clearing their names.
 They’ve taken the video down but a lot of people have seen it and although we’ve been cleared, people have seen that video and might take it upon themselves to do something.
Ben and Jordan are now considering taking legal action against YCP, according to Metro.

--- layout: external title: Light Sheet Workshop permalink: /lightsheet_workshop/ published: true ---
Light sheet microscopy has emerged in the last 15 years as a powerful tool to interrogate living biological systems with unprecedented imaging speeds for as long as it takes. Large, fixed, cleared or expanded biological samples can be imaged with high resolution in a fraction of time compared to conventional microscopy approaches. When combined, the spatial coverage and temporal resolution leads to in toto recording of complex biological phenomena.
Light sheets opened entirely new windows into the inner workings of cells and organisms and re-invigorated several research fields including developmental and cell biology, physiology, neurobiology and biodiversity research. This conference marks the 10th Anniversary of Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) meetings that started in 2009 in Dresden. It will bring together the technology developers and users of light sheets, showcase the latest light sheet set-ups and how to best deploy them for the benefit of the biological research community.
A unique feature of the conference is that it immediately follows the 3rd EMBO practical course on light sheet microscopy held in Dresden between August 2nd and 11th 2018. This course teaches light sheet microscopy to the next generation of scientists who will present the results of their light sheet experiments at the conference. Additionally, a full range of commercial light sheet microscopy hardware used at the course will be demonstrated at the conference.

Dresden has a relatively small airport connected by Lufthansa to major German hubs such as Frankfurt, Munich and Düsseldorf. There is also an Air France flight from London.
Berlin Schoenefeld International airport is about 172 km from Dresden, easily reachable by regular trains or busses.
Vaclav Havel Airport Prague in the Czech Republic is another option, 160 km away, also connected by trains (about every two hours) and busses.
From the Dresden Airport, please take the train S2 available every 30 min to the train station Bahnhof-Neustadt. Then take the tram 6, direction Niedersedlitz, to the station Königsheimplatz. Cross the street and walk along Schubertstraße until you come to Pfotenhauerstraße and turn left. Our institute is at Pfotenhauerstraße 108. It is a green and blue building. It takes about 40 minutes.
Via Train
Dresden is easily reachable by train. There are two train stations in Dresden: Hauptbahnhof and Bahnhof-Neustadt.
From the main train station [Hauptbahnhof] please take the tram 10, direction Striesen, to the station Fetscherplatz. Then take the tram 12, direction Striesen, to the station Königsheimplatz. Cross the street and walk along Schubertstraße until you come to Pfotenhauerstraße and turn left. Our institute is at Pfotenhauerstraße 108. It is a green and blue building. It takes about 20 minutes.
You can also use tram 3 (Wilder Mann) or 7 (Weixdorf) and change at Pirnaischer Platz to bus 62 (Johannstadt). The terminal stop is right opposite of the Institute. It takes about 23 minutes.

Via Car
From Berlin (north)
Leave A4 at the exit Dresden-Hellerau, which will take you onto the B 170 heading towards the city center (Zentrum). Stay on the B 170 for about 5 km until it reaches the intersection "Carolaplatz". At the next intersection turn right onto the "Albertbrücke" bridge. From now on follow the signs "Uniklinikum" to the medical clinic. Once over the bridge, you have to drive a circle in order to turn to the left, which means taking the second street to the right, then turn to the right and to the right again onto "Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer." Follow "Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer" and turn right into "Fetscherstraße." At the first intersection turn left into "Pfotenhauerstraße." Our institute is on the right.
From Munich/Frankfurt/Leipzig (south)
Leave Autobahn A4 at the exit Dresden-Altstadt, which will take you onto the B 6. Follow the signs to the city center (Zentrum) and stay on the B 6 for about 4 km until an intersection with a Turkish Mosque on the left side. Still following the signs to the city center (Zentrum), turn left and pass the Mosque. Follow the road which turns to the right and goes under the railway bridge. This leads you to "Uferstrasse" which takes two sharp bends (passing Semperoper opera house). Now you are on the "Terrassenufer" which takes you parallel to the river Elbe. Stay on this road following the sign "Uniklinikum." The street merges to "Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer." Follow "Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer" and turn right into "Fetscherstrasse." At the first intersection turn left into "Pfotenhauerstrasse." Our institute is on the right
From Prague
Follow the highway D8 going north from the Prague circle towards Aussig (Usti nad Labem) or Teplitz (Teplice) and Dresden. The highway is interrupted in the middle by the scenic Ceske Stredohori mountain for about 20 km (narrow road, follow signs for Dresden). The trip takes about two hours.
The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), founded in 1998, is one of 80 institutes of the Max Planck Society, an independent non-profit organization in Germany.
In recent years Dresden has developed at a tremendous pace into one of the leading scientific centers in the areas of cell and developmental biology, biomedicine, biophysics and bioengineering. Dresden is characterized by a vibrant international community of researchers that perform cross-disciplinary research at the highest level in state-of-the-art research centers at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) and several Leibniz and Fraunhofer Institutes.
Dresden is considered one of the most beautiful cities of Germany. It is located in the east of Germany in the valley of the river Elbe. Dresden is about 2.5 hrs away from Berlin as well as Prague. Being the capital of Saxony it has been a center of political and cultural life for centuries, and its skyline with the Zwinger, the Green Vault, the Painting Gallery, the castle, the Semper Opera, the Court Chapel, Taschenberg Palace, and the recently rebuilt Frauenkirche are world-famous. But the city is not only famous for its baroque architecture and beautiful surrounding landscapes. Dresden has evolved into a vivid and international scientific and industrial center and is one of the most outstanding locations for research and science in Germany with emphasis on biotechnology, nano- and microelectronics. In appreciation of this dynamic development, Dresden has been awarded the “City of Science” in 2006.
