Final Fantasy Tactics is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation video game console. Sony Computer Entertainment published the game in Japan on June 20, 1997, and the United States on January 28, 1998. It is the first game of the Tactics series within the Final Fantasy franchise, and the first entry set in the fictional world of Ivalice. The story follows Ramza Beoulve, who is placed in the middle of a military conflict between two noble factions coveting the throne of the kingdom. Production began in 1995 by Yasumi Matsuno, who was the director and writer. Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi (pictured) was the producer and Hiroyuki Ito designed the battles. Final Fantasy Tactics received critical acclaim, garnered a cult following, and has been cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. An enhanced port of the game, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, was released in 2007. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ivalice.)

Yotsuba&! follows the daily life of a young girl named Yotsuba Koiwai and her adoptive father, with each chapter taking place on a specific, nearly sequential day of a common year starting on Wednesday. The series was licensed in English by ADV Manga, with five volumes published. Yen Press announced at the 2009 New York Comic Con that they had acquired the North American license for the English release of the manga; volume six was released in September 2009 with new translations of the first five volumes, and later volumes to follow.

Gina Krog

Gina Krog (20 June 1847 – 14 April 1916) was a Norwegian suffragist, teacher, liberal politician, writer and editor. She played a central role in the Norwegian women's movement from the 1880s until her death, notably as a leading campaigner for women's right to vote. In 1884, Krog co-founded the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights with liberal MP Hagbart Berner. Over the next two decades, Krog co-founded the Women's Voting Association, the National Association for Women's Suffrage, and the Norwegian National Women's Council, spearheading the presentation of women's suffrage proposals to the Storting (the Norwegian parliament). She was an early member of the Liberal Party and served as a deputy member of its national board. Krog was regarded as an unapologetic liberal progressive during her time, seeking full and equal voting rights for all women on the same conditions as men, which was achieved in 1913. She was the first woman in Norway to receive a state funeral.
