Rome Sand Plains
Rome Sand Plains is a 15,000-acre (61 km2) pine barrens about five miles (8.0 km) west of the city center of Rome in Oneida County in central New York. It consists of a mosaic of sand dunes rising about 50 feet (15 m) above low peat bogs that lie between the dunes. The barrens are covered with mixed northern hardwood forests, meadows, and wetlands. About 4,000 acres (16 km2) are protected in conservation preserves. Pine barrens are typical of seacoasts; the Rome Sand Plains is one of only a handful of inland pine barrens remaining in the United States.[1] A second inland pine barrens, the Albany Pine Bush, is also found in New York, located north and west of state's capital Albany.

E. W. Russell has described the Sand Plains as follows, "The landscape today forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding flat, fertile farmland, which is almost all cleared of trees and planted in crops. Uplands, including some dunes, support forest vegetation of American beech, white oak (Quercus alba), red and sugar maples, white and pitch pine (Pinus strobus and P. rigida), gray birch (Betula populifolia), hemlock, aspen (Populus spp.), American elm, and other northern hardwood species. Some uplands are also characterized as pitch pine heaths, dominated by pitch pines with an understory of blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) and other related (ericaceous) shrubs. Pitch pine is the characteristic tree of the wetlands, along with aspen, gray birch, and red maple, along with an ericaceous shrub layer."[2]
Among the several rare species in the Sand Plains are the purple pitcher plant and a sundew (both of which are carnivorous plants), red-shouldered hawks, martens, and the frosted elfin butterfly, which is a threatened species in New York State.[3] Other species to be found include wild blue lupine (also rare, and the food for the frosted elfin), barrens buckmoth (Hemileuca maia), whippoorwill, pine warbler and pitch pine, normally indigenous to coastal areas.
The Rome Sand Plains were owned privately through about 1980. The sand was mined to make molds and cores for metal casting. An application for a permit to mine sand around 1980 triggered a regional effort to protect the area.[4] The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) began purchasing lands, working with The Nature Conservancy and other organizations. Approximately 1,700 acres (6.9 km2) of the Sand Plains have been purchased by the NYSDEC, and are designated as the Rome Sand Plains Unique Area.[5] The Nature Conservancy holds another 1,000 acres (4.0 km2).[6] The Izaak Walton League holds about 440 acres (1.8 km2), Oneida County holds an additional 770 acres (3.1 km2) as a County Forest, and a few acres are held by the City of Rome. A map showing these holdings was released by the NYSDEC in 2008; the map shows the location of three foot trails maintained by the NYSDEC and one by the Izaak Walton League.[7] A consolidated management plan involving all five preserves, and addressing the entire Sand Plains area, was published in 2006.[8]
The sand plains are considered by geologists to be a relic of Lake Iroquois, which was a somewhat larger version of the present Lake Ontario that existed near the end of the last ice age about twelve thousand years ago. The level of Lake Iroquois was about 100 feet (30 m) higher than Lake Ontario's present level. Lake Iroquois drained to the Atlantic Ocean through the Mohawk and Hudson rivers, and its outlet was near the present Sand Plains.[9][10] Lake Ontario's outlet is near the Thousand Islands, and the lake drains through the Saint Lawrence River; this outlet was dammed by ice in the period when Lake Iroquois existed.

This picture is the Indian Navy soldiers during the festival or Republic Day. Republic day is an annual Indian holiday in every 26 January. Indian Republic Day is an annual celebration which honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.
During the Republic Day celebration, there are several large military parades are held in New Delhi and the state capitals. Including the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force and traditional dance troupes take part in the parades. Ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India; its unity in diversity and rich cultural heritage.
The Indian Navy (IN; IAST: Bhāratīya Nau Senā) is the naval branch of the Indian Armed Forces. The Indian Navy traces its origins back to the East India Company's Marine which was founded in 1612 to protect British merchant shipping in the region.

Spotify Lite is an Android application which delivers a simplified version of the main Spotify app and includes a number of features which minimise storage space and mobile data usage.
The app only takes up 10MB of storage space once installed, and allows listeners to set a data usage limit and receive a notification once they reach it.
Spotify Lite also allows users to clear their cache if they are running low on storage space.
"Spotify Lite was built from the ground up based on user feedback from around the world, allowing millions more to enjoy the world's best music experience — especially in areas with limited bandwidth and phone storage," said Spotify senior product manager Kalle Persson.

Facekara is a karaoke box (KTV) located on the 3rd floor of Viva Home (Jalan Loke Yew, Kuala Lumpur). The first impression it gave me wasn't positive at all. The environment, interior design & furnitures look a little dodgy, just like the typical low budget karaoke box you can find at places such as Ampang Park Mall and Summit Shopping Complex. The only difference is that it felt more hygienic & it didn't smell. But I'm sure it would, eventually, if they didn't at least change their cushioned sofas to leather sofas soon.
When I checked into the place on Foursquare, all the Tips were rather interesting to read. They're mainly complaints about their regretful experience at Facekara. And I have to say I agree with most of them. Compared to the big players, namely Red Box & Neway, the sound system & the ambiance of Facekara were indeed not up to standards. It certainly didn't seem that they've updated their system with new songs too. On their "latest song" list, I saw some titles from the 90s. As though that wasn't bad enough, they also didn't have sufficient classic oldies. They even had less than 20 songs by The Beatles for me choose. I was like, "Are you fuckin' kiddin' me?! You don't even have 'Yesterday'?!" That's quite unacceptable, even if their main target market were Malays and Chinese-song hunters.
However, I was quite surprised with their unique concept and great offers. They have small, medium, large, VIP and VVIP rooms. One of the large rooms has a pretty good view of the city while the VVIP rooms have projected visuals. Their food menu is impressive. Although I didn't get to taste them all, but the variety sure is broad and the promotions are very attractive. A bucket of beer, costs RM50 to RM65 depending on which brand, entitles four pax for free three hours of karaoke. Set lunch – RM9.90 and set dinner – RM14.90; entitlement to free unlimited singing hours. There are also "buy one hour free one hour" and "buy two hours free one hour" promotion going on now. And all these promotions are offered on any day of the week. For the price list of non-promotional packages, please go here.
The unique concept I mentioned is the recording element they have. They weren't kidding with the tagline "broadcast you to the world". In every room, there's a webcam installed right above the television. Registered members can record their singing, review their performance on the members section of Facekara's website, and conveniently share the videos on Facebook. Members also have the privileges to use their membership card (Facecard) like a Touch 'n Go card for bill settlement and redeem loyalty points like a Bcard. Not to mention about the 10-20% discounts on any of their bills.
The song menu interface allows customers to order their food and beverages from there as well. The other smart thing about it is that both English & Chinese are labeled on buttons. Not sure if it has the functions to randomise or rearrange the turn of the songs picked though. Guess I should've looked for the remote control.
Facekara certainly deserves to be given a chance to improve. After all, they've just opened last year. According to the Operations Manager, Albert Goh, their services and equipments are being upgraded continuously. I absolutely love their concept
and promotions. I see great potentials. However,
they first need to rectify their reputation and improve the basics that are required to satisfy average customers – better sound system, more song choice & a less dodgy environment. But it has to be very soon or very much later when their short-comings are forgotten. For more details on all their promotions, pricing of food & services and Facecard, please log on to Facekara.com.
[80% OFF] RM33 for 4 hours of Sing K + 4 drinks up to 4 pax instead of RM160.90 – available at MyCoupon.com.my soon.

How to Hide and Disappear From an Abusive Husband Or Boyfriend Through Workplace Privacy
By Grant Hall
An abusive husband or boyfriend may attempt to stalk his victim once the couple has separated.
A battered woman may depend on law enforcement, court orders, and social service agencies for a period of time as she is coping with a breakup. Agencies and law enforcement have their place in domestic abuse matters, but ultimately the individual who desires freedom and privacy must rely on lifestyle changes for personal privacy and security.
A stalker may use his victim's place of employment as a primary source for locating his ex-wife or girlfriend.
Many public and private data bases contain the personal and confidential information of current and past employees. Records of employers and employees are extensive and may be found in many data banks and data protection cannot be achieved through the changing of jobs or by relocation. Employees can be tracked and traced through their names, date of birth, Social Security number, and employer information.
Successful workplace privacy can be accomplished by using a separate entity to receive payments on behalf of the individual whose goal is to work beneath the radar. A Nevada Limited Liability Company registered privately through the use of a Trust as manager of the LLC has provided privacy for the owners and managers of this entity. The LLC may be used as the entity to receive payments normally received by the employee who wishes to regain her privacy at work. Essentially, the LLC is hired to fill a job while the manager and privacy seeker performs the actual work while receiving payments from the LLC.
Successful negotiations between the individual desiring the privacy protection and an employer will be required for the implementation of this non-traditional, work relationship. In addition, the potential for a successful work agreement may be enhanced when the services of the individual are in great demand and when incentives are offered to the employer.
A medical technician has used this workplace privacy model in a location where demand was high for her skills. This medical technician agreed to work as a subcontractor while her company, the LLC received payments from the company that utilizes her services, an outpatient diagnostic facility. In this actual case history, the employer agreed to hire the LLC while the lady manager performed all job requirements of a traditional employee and was able to obtain a higher salary and a more flexible work schedule in exchange for a less extensive work benefit package. Both parties are winning in this business relationship that provides decreased employee costs to the employer and increased privacy at work for the former stalking victim.
Through the use of a Limited Liability Company and privacy registration principles, one can restructure employment while working in their usual and customary occupation, business or profession. The workplace privacy program outlined herein has been tested and is a proven method for establishing employee privacy. The LLC as the "employee" of record has its own tax identification number and this employment structure enables those endangered by an abusive ex or a troublesome stalker to have workplace privacy while preventing a privacy invasion at work. Reduced exposure through employee and employer data bases has been used successfully to stop stalking problems.
Certain occupations and professions pose few obstacles for the innovative lady who desires to break the paper trail from her identity to her job. Examples of positions that have been filled while using the LLC as the entity receiving payments on behalf of the manager performing the duties include: nurse, psychologist, automobile mechanic, website developer, actress, computer technician, property manager, office manager, bookkeeper and graphic designer.

La Gaité, Montparnasse
Montparnasse, about 1919
Etching and engraving
Plate 14.1 x 10.7 cm; mount 15.8 x 11.9 cm
The focus of this print is not the performance, but the audience, seen from the front of the stage. From the late 1880s, Sickert often depicted the music hall in his work. It offered a popular form of entertainment, in Victorian and Edwardian London, as in Paris. But while in England such subject matter in the visual arts was regarded as vulgar, in France, thanks in part to Degas's and Manet's portrayals of café culture and modern urban life, it was of widespread interest. Sickert, very much inspired by Degas, became the first English artist to portray these centres of entertainment.

Just what is a microsite? A smaller, simpler website that is built to focus on a specific subject, product or campaign, microsites eliminate the clutter and distractions that come with a full website. Some companies use them to highlight a specific campaign or target specific buyer personas. Others have used them to tell a short story, or to inspire a specific call-to-action. A microsite can launch a product, promotion or campaign in ways that full websites can't. Let's explore some of the ways you could use a single platform to easily build multiple microsites for you and your client's needs.
Create Quick to Market Microsites with Site Templates
Site Templates allow you to quickly create multiple microsites with the same set of pages and content. They can contain pages, layouts, functionality, content and settings. After the duplicate sites have been created, they can be modified to highlight a specific campaign or client. Using site templates saves time and money, allowing for the creation of any number of quick-to-market microsites.
Stay on-brand with Consistent Look and Feel
Do you have the need to spin up microsites with the same pages and functionality, but with client- or campaign-specific branding? Using color schemes you can maintain the overall site design, while at the same time "skinning" each microsite with its own colors, graphics and branding. This approach allows for easy maintenance of the general styling while still allowing for numerous design variations.
Utilize Multi-tenancy capability for economical scalability
Perhaps you need to build distinct, isolated microsites for multiple clients. Using a multi-tenant (shared infrastructure) approach can be economical because software development and maintenance costs are also shared. Multi-tenancy is an architecture by which a single application serves multiple customers, or tenants. It allows for a better utilization of resources while still meeting your technical requirements to keep each client's environment and data separated.
These are just some of the impressive features you could be using today to create effective, flexible and focused microsites. With site templates, color scheme design variations and multi-tenancy architecture you too can quickly build cost-effective campaign- or client-specific microsites.

After some pretty dodgy looking doughs, I think I have finally perfected the perfect pizza crust.
Start with the following three ingredients in the Thermomix, at 37 degrees, for 2 minutes, speed 1:
- 190g milk of your choice
- 30g olive oil
- 2t yeast
Then, add…
- 450g of spelt flour, or bakers flours
- 1 egg
- 2t salt
- 1t sugar (I used rapadura)
Bring it together for a few seconds on speed 6, then knead for two minutes.
Wrap it up and rest it for around 20 minutes, before dividing in two and rolling out in to a circle and putting on pizza trays.
Top with, well, whatever you want really. The one in the picture was smothered in hummus, drizzled with olive oil before being topped with feta, zucchini, chives and roma tomatoes.

Council welcomes government funding for recovery
Council welcomes government funding for key recovery and rebuild work.
Kaikōura District Council welcomes today's announcement by the government of $5.3 million of funding over the next two years to help with four key areas of ongoing recovery work.
Mayor Winston Gray was optimistic about today's announcement saying, "this funding includes $2.2 million over two years to help with the costs of repair and rebuild work for Kaikōura's drinking water, storm water and wastewater systems and $0.3million to assist with funding the final repairs for our harbour. It will also help Council work toward becoming financially sustainable; and provide a partial contribution towards helping us manage our significant natural hazard life safety risks."
"We're really pleased to see Government's ongoing commitment to support for our Council and the people of Kaikōura. Both Council and our residents are still dealing with significant and ongoing issues from the earthquake and all government assistance is appreciated" he said.
Across Kaikōura the 2016 earthquakes caused or accentuated significant risks to some properties and infrastructure from natural hazards. Without assistance, Council is not in a financial position to provide financial assistance to these landowners. Since the earthquake Council has been working with the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, EQC, Environment Canterbury, geologists and scientists to support landowners to work through their natural hazard and land damage issues and to plan for future land use.
"We've already set aside $155,000 over the next 3 years to seek advice and support to develop options for affected property owners. Following this announcement, we're now looking forward to working with government agencies to understand with the combined funds we have, what support may be able to be offered to property owners most affected by the earthquakes," said Mayor Gray.

Inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold
"When girls are given the opportunities to reach their full potential, all of society benefits." Arlene Isaacs-Lowe, Global Head of CSR at Moody's Corporation and President of the Moody's Foundation
What is Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area?
Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area is a local Girls Inc. affiliate founded in 2006 that provides outstanding programs and opportunities for girls.
In 2020, as we enter a new era of working with girls in the DC region, we are taking time to focus on reinvigorating the board of directors, shaping a strategic direction, and hiring an executive director in an equitable process worthy of the girls living, learning, and growing up in Washington DC.
We are purposefully working with and listening carefully to local stakeholders in order to ensure that Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area can operate at a scale that impacts the highest number of girls possible.
What is Girls Inc.?
Girls Inc. is a nationwide nonprofit organization that believes that girls are powerful and critically important to their communities. Girls Inc. affiliates serve girls ages 5-18 in cities and towns across the United States.
What does Girls Inc. do?
We provide opportunities that equip girls to lead healthy and physically active lives, to achieve academically, and to advocate for themselves and others.
We recognize that poverty, prejudice, and inequality continue to hold some girls back and we work with girls to overcome obstacles caused by those systemic barriers.
How does Girls Inc. do it?
The Girls Inc. Experience is based on three key elements.
– People: Our trained staff and volunteers build trusted mentoring relationships.
– Environment: We work in girls-only spaces, providing physical and emotional safety, high expectations, and mutual respect.
– Research-based programming: Our life-changing programs focus on the specific needs of local communities.
What are Girls Inc.'s results?
Girls Inc. gets results. A recent research study conducted by the American Institutes for Research showed that: On 24 dimensions, Girls Inc. girls did significantly better than girls who had not had the Girls Inc. Experience.
The evidence is clear; the Girls Inc. Experience has a real and lasting positive impact on participating girls.
Tell me more about the history of Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area…
A local group of women and men, some of whom had been active in the national organization, including a former Girls Inc. national Board Chair and a former national Policy Coordinator, founded Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area. We received our 501(c)(3) designation in 2004 and began serving middle school girls in 2006, with an emphasis on Wards 1, 5, 7 and 8.
In 2010, through a generous in-kind gift from Howard University, we opened a Girls Inc. center that had a computer lab, multi-purpose space, stage, reading area, kitchen, and self-contained classroom. At this site, DC girls accessed mentoring, academic support, college preparation, enrichment activities, and leadership development through July 2019.
In 2020, we are starting a new era for our affiliate. We have temporarily paused our programs in order to take time to work with and listen carefully to local stakeholders. We want Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area to serve the specific needs of girls in the DC area, and to continue to grow strategically over time.
Girls Inc. of the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area was named "One of the Best" nonprofits by the Catalogue for Philanthropy. Read more on the Catalogue for Philanthropy website.

I think in one way or another your story--and the learning curve involved--is familiar to most of us. This is a great site for sharing both problems and solutions (and sometimes entirely new ideas) with a group that's generally low-key, friendly and supportive.
I look forward to seeing your work. (We love pictures!)
George Lewis:
Hello from Seattle. Growing up, I loved building tank, plane, and ship models, mostly from the WWII era. I've recently rejoined the hobby after 30+ years, after a friend gave me a surprise birthday present -- a 1/48 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10 model! It was quite a schock but a cool gift.
Although I've long since thrown away my Xacto knives and paint brushes, I resolved to build the Gustav and do it justice with a nice build and paint job. I checked online references, bought glue, paints and supplies, and set to work. I was disappointed in the end result, but was also amazed at the state of the art and how much the hobby has progressed (at least for me). Gone are the days of a slapping on a coat of paint (or not), applying decals and being done.
So over the last 11 models since that first 109, I've progressed from brush painting with enamels, airbrushing enamels, to airbrushing with acrylics and am still trying new techniques with every build. I'm getting happier with the results but I still have a long way to go.
The bottom line is that modeling is fun! I love learning the history of a particular plane or pilot, studying photos and trying to recreate a lifelike machine from over 75 years ago.
That's my story.
I really appreciate the articles, photos and posts that I've come across on this site when trying to solve a problem (antenna wire, canopy masking, seam filling, matt coating, orange peel, airbrush cleaning, etc.).
Thanks for all the help and I look forward to contributing.

Love, betrayal, reconciliation. Stream Hellwana's new album and catch her at ESNS19
In the fall, the rapper, singer, composer and winner of Czeching 2018 recorded her new project Phases capturing powerful life moments. The EP, now exclusively available for streaming, will be released on January 4th together with a new music video.
"Phases are life moments assembled into a mosaic. The pieces differ in taste and color, some are good, some are bad, but they are all formative," says Hellwana about her new EP recorded in the fall with Radio Wave's support in Martin Havlen's studio Resound. On her previous album Sunbeam and on social media, Hellwana spoke openly about self-acceptance and beauty ideals. Her new tracks are filled with fateful stories and strong emotions which the young singer and composer also tried to capture in her expression and distinctive take on soul. "One track is about the love between my stepfather, who died 1.5 years ago, and my mother. Part of the track is about how some people are not as lucky to know the kind of love they had," she adds to one of her stories.
The EP's contributors include producers Tomáš Cyprián, aka DJ Cyper, who performs with Hellwana, as well as Ian Cratsch and Filip Zagata. The experienced Tomáš Karásek, aka Gargle&Expel, took care of mastering and the cover was designed jointly by Hellwana and Jan Kloss. Now available for streaming, the album will be officially released on vinyl and digitally on Spotify and iTunes on January 4th and available for the first time at the release party in Chapeau Rouge where the new video for the single Love Game will premiere. Thanks to her Czeching win, Hellwana will perform at the biggest European showcase festival Eurosonic in Groningen, Holland on January 18th. The festival will also feature a record number of Czech and Slovak bands thanks to its special focus on our scenes.
"2018 can be viewed as the first year to see female rappers' role shifting from supporting their male colleagues to releasing the best albums: Cardi B, Rico Nasty, City Girls, Kodie Shane or Nicki Minaj dominated the game. So the timing of Hellwana's arrival on the Czech scene is almost perfect – she is one of the first to bring urban sound, neo soul or rap into the Czech context. On her EP Phases she does so with total confidence presenting herself as an artist able to cross genre boundaries and hit the world with contemporary sound," says Radio Wave's programmer Jiří Špičák.

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES - Chapter 20 - Verse 21
Verse 21. Testifying. Bearing witness to the necessity of repentance towards God. Or teaching them the nature of repentance, etc., and exhorting them to repent and believe. Perhaps the word testifying includes both ideas of giving evidence, and of urging with great earnestness and affection that repentance and faith were necessary. See 1 Ti 5:21; 2 Ti 2:14; where the word here used, and here translated testify, is there translated correctly charge, in the sense of strongly urging, or entreating with great earnestness.
Also to the Greeks. To all who were not Jews. The Greeks, properly, denoted those who lived in Greece, and who spoke the Greek language. But the phrase "Jews and Greeks," among the Hebrews, denoted the whole human race. He urged the necessity of repentance and faith in all. Religion makes no distinction, but regards all as sinners, and as needing salvation by the blood of the Redeemer.
Repentance toward God. See Barnes "Mt 3:2".
Repentance is to be exercised "toward God," because
(1.) sin has been committed against him, and it is proper that we express our sorrow to the Being whom we have offended; and,
(2.) because God only can pardon. Sincere repentance exists only where there is a willingness to make acknowledgment to the very being whom we have offended or injured.
And faith. See Barnes "Mr 16:6".
Toward. eiv. In regard to; in; confidence in the work and merits of the Lord Jesus. This is required, because there is no other one who can save from sin. See Barnes "Ac 4:12".
{d} "repentance toward God" Mr 1:15

A familiar name to fans of DC Comics monthly series and animated titles, artist Christopher Jones brings his unique style to the Young Justice DC Comics title, a new comic book inspired by the animated series of the same name. In the following Q & A, Jones discusses his past work, such as his tenure on on the fan-favorite DC Comics title The Batman Strikes!, and the challenges that await for him with Young Justice.
The World's Finest: First up, care to refresh readers on your recent comic book work? Where might they know you from?
Christopher Jones: Well I'm probably most widely known for my run on The Batman Strikes, which I was the regular artist on over it's entire run. Before that I'd done a number of things at DC, from other animation-based work like Justice League Adventures to some short stories in 80-page Giants, to fill-ins and even breakdowns on Day of Judgment, the crossover event series that turned Hal Jordan into the Spectre.
Prior to that I'd done horror, crime and sci-fi material for a number of smaller publishers.
Since The Batman Strikes, I've been doing a busy doing a lot of comics-related work that hasn't actually been for comic books. I've done a bunch of work for DC Licensing, and for Disney and Marvel, but it's all been marketing stuff and pin-ups. So it's really fun to get back to telling stories in a monthly title again!
WF: Now, on to the Young Justice! How did you get the assignment and what can fans expect from your tenure? Are you in it fox six issues, like the previous creative team, or for the long-haul?
CJ: Well the previous creative team were solicited for six issues, but I'm actually take over the art as of issue #5, and then continuing on with the new writing team on #7 and beyond. At this point my commitment is open-ended.
WF: Some of your recent projects have resulting in adapting your own style to work with other styles, such as on The Batman Strikes, Gargoyles: Bad Guys, and now Young Justice. Is it tricky to find that balance where it's still your style, but also recognizable as the style of the project your adapting for comics?
CJ: I don't even think of it that way anymore, really. There's a question of learning the main character models and getting a sense of the style of the design, but so much of what goes into drawing a page is still all me - my sense of storytelling, composition and design... even a lot of your own drawing style bleeds through, no matter how faithful you're being to the animation models.
WF: As a semi-follow-up, even though you're still early into your run, I'm curious to ask - how does working on the Young Justice comic compare to working on The Batman Strikes title, in terms of not just nailing the art styles but also having reference material and having more knowledge of the the cartoon Young Justuce is based on?
CJ: I seem to recall reference material being more scant when The Batman Strikes was first starting, but that changed quickly, and I've had a lot of support on Young Justice from the get-go, but from my editor Jim Chadwick and also directly from Greg Weisman. Of course the comic series was also four issues along and the show was already on the air by the time I started...
As for any other comparisons, I actually find the look of Young Justice less stylized than The Batman, so the drawing feels a lot more natural.
WF: You'll be working on the title with Young Justice animated series producer Greg Weisman and series writer Kevin Hopps. Have you been in touch with them about their plans for the comic and how it'll mesh with the animated series? Is there a certain kind of authenticity that comes with the comic having a creative team directly involved with the series itself?
CJ: I haven't had a chance to talk to Greg at length about it yet, although I'll be seeing him in person in a couple of weeks and am hoping to really pick his brain then.
There's a problem that most multi-media spin-offs have where the spin-offs have to fit seamlessly into the "canon" continuity of the source material, which means they can't really have stories that break new ground with any of the main characters or otherwise have lasting consequences.
But with Greg and Kevin writing the comic, there's a very exciting opportunity for the comic to compliment the animated series in a really unique way. For example, the first two-parter they've written for the comic delves into Artemis' backstory, stuff that hasn't been revealed on the show. We even get a flashback to events seen in the show, but now seeing more of these scene, getting Artemis' point of view. It's cool stuff.
WF: Are there certain Young Justice characters that are already popping up as your favorites?
CJ: No favorites quite yet. I really like everybody. I haven't gotten to draw a lot of the main team in costume yet! So much of my first two issues either had then in civilian clothes or were flashbacks featuring the characters out of costume. But I love that they've Aqualad badass. I love the laughing daredevil quality that Robin has. And that he's as competent as he should be having been trained by Batman - but he's still a 13-year-old kid. Wally West is Wally West. I like this version of Superboy more than I ever liked the comics character. I think I had been turned off by the character's original haircut and costume...
WF: Any thoughts on being back in the Johnny DC fold, especially given your incredible work on 44 issues of The Batman Strikes? Do you hope for a similar run on Young Justice? Perhaps a guest-shot on Batman: The Brave and The Bold?
CJ: I have no idea how long this will run, so I'm not counting on 44 issues!
Back during the The Batman Strikes days, I was strongly advocating for a The Batman Strikes/Teen Titans Go! crossover, but that never happened.
Young Justice is an odd Johnny DC title. The show is written to be fairly adult, and I think with Greg and Kevin coming on board you're going to be seeing the comic move a lot further in that direction.
And I never approach this stuff like I'm drawing a "kid's book." I think of them as all-ages books. They're kid-friendly, but hopefully satisfying for adult readers as well. With The Batman Strikes I was always shooting tonally for the great Bob Haney/Jim Aparo Batman: The Brave and the Bold comics from the 1970s. Those were friendlier to a juvenile audience than a lot of modern-day Batman comics, but they still played the drama straight.
WF: Finally, can you drop any hints of what we'll be seeing in Young Justice in the coming months? Any preview art you can share?
CJ: I've gotta keep the art under wraps until the books come out, but I'll be happy to share some pencils and and behind the scenes stuff once the issues are out!
The only thing I can say about the future of the comic or the show, is if you're expecting that Young Justice is about a team of sidekicks who'll be face off against the second- and third-tier villains of the DCU, you expect wrong! The big guns are coming!
WF: Lastly, tell us why fans should pick up your debut of Young Justice!
CJ: Why pick up Young Justice #5? Because you'll find out which Flash got how powers by accident, which one got them by design, and which one blew up his garage! You'll learn how Kaldur earned his place as Aqualad. Learn what Superboy thinks about... sometimes...
And there are s'mores! And great art! and s'mores!
The World's Finest would like to thank Christopher Jones for his participation!
Young Justice #5, Jones' first issue in his ongoing tenure on the title, will be available Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011, both on comic book shelves and digitally.

Since I didn't get to actually go to Woodstock, I did the next best thing and tivoed a movie put together from film taken at the time of the event. I loved it and my husband and I had to think hard to put faces with songs we knew, but couldn't recall. Thank goodness for the laptop, it's been a very long time.
It was good to see Arlo Guthrie like he used to look, but not so much anymore, but is still as opinionated as ever. Roger Daltrey looked very fine and he knew it, too. He still does, but not as fine at 65 as he did at 25. Who does.
There will be a movie sometime later in the summer this year using a lot of the situations that happened during those 3 days.

Book Review: The Princess and the Goblin
By George MacDonald
Spoiler Alert!
Princess Irene lives in a castle in a wild and lonely mountainous region. One day she discovers a steep and winding stairway leading to a bewildering labyrinth of unused passages with closed doors – and a further stairway. What lies at the top? Meanwhile, the miner's son Curdie overhears a fiendish plot by the goblins that live below the mountain. But with the help of Irene's magic ring, can they stop the goblins' terrifying plans in time? Can the ring the princess is given protect her against the lurking menace of the goblins from under the mountain? (Courtesy of goodreads.com)
Adult Point of View
The Princess and The Goblin was written in 1872. I believe George MacDonald created a ground breaking novel for children. MacDonald was the inspiration for the rise of the fantasy genre and many authors, such as Tolkien, Lewis and L'Engle attribute his writing in forming their own works. It has the feel of an old fairy tales, as though it is a warning tale for children that they should trust their elders and stay out of trouble. It is more than a moral tale, it is full of adventure and mystery.
The characters are archetypes found in other fairy tales. The Princess Irene is inherently good and noble. Curdie is the honest homespun youth, true to his word. The nurse is a busybody and short sighted to the nearly divine nature of her charge. The King is noble and brave. The great grandmother is a mystical force, all knowing and protective. The goblins are bad and full of evil intent.
The plot moves forward in a predictable pattern, but the descriptive words are huge or should I say humongous. I love words! My mother used to say that some words were worth a nickle while others were quarter words. Many of the words used in this book would be worth fifty cents according to my mother's scale. I enjoyed how MacDonald used words I wouldn't expect to see in a children's novel. MacDonald is quoted, "I write, not for children," he wrote, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five." (quote courtesy of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_MacDonald) I did not like how he would hint at information, as an example, "I could tell you …. but, I won't." Even so, while reading The Princess and The Goblin I felt like I was under a charm.
Some of the differences I have observed in older books are first, they make use of complex sentence structure with descriptive words rather than short, choppy sentences. Second, the pacing is slower with lots of added detail that isn't always central to the action. And third, they are generally told from third person point of view, which is less dramatic, while first person is frequently used in new books. I love to read old books between newer books.

Certain medications cause adverse reactions in drug sensitive people but not everyone responds in the same way. Reactions can range from mild such as skin rashes to serious such as anaphylaxis, so it's very important to consult a qualified medical profession if you suspect you have a drug allergy problem.
Medication Allergy Risk Factors
Medication allergy is a condition that occurs when a person's immune system develops an abnormal reaction to a drug. The chances of developing this condition are higher if the patient frequently takes the drug or when the medication is rubbed against the skin or is administered via injection. The same drug may have a severe reaction in one person yet not cause any reactions at all in another. Common medications that cause drug allergies include antibiotics such as penicillin, anti convulsants, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Chemotherapy and mono clonal antibody therapy can also trigger allergy reactions in sensitive patients.
Mild to Life Threatening Symptoms
Common symptoms for drug allergy include the onset of skin rashes, itching, contact dermatitis at site of rubbing, hives, breathing problems and facial swelling. Antibiotics can cause diarrhea, aspirin allergy can cause upset stomach and chemotherapy is associated with vomiting as well as hair loss. Anaphylaxis is the most severe and potentially life threatening reaction that involves several body systems. Symptoms for this include swelling, hives, low BP and anaphylactic shock. Anaphylaxis is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Making Correct Diagnosis
Due to the complexity of drug compositions and individual body reactions to drugs, it is very difficult to develop scientific tests for accurately diagnosing drug allergy. A trained allergist will take into consideration several factors including past history of medication allergy problems, symptoms description, when symptoms began, how long the patient experiences them and information of any other drug being taken to diagnose the problem and arrive at a tailor made plan of action for protection against any future episodes.
Tailored Treatment Plan
For patients who develop adverse reactions, a doctor can prescribe an alternative drug. For immediate symptom reversal, a doctor may prescribe anti histamines, corticosteroids or epinephrine (in case of anaphylaxis). In case the medication is absolutely essential for the patient and there is no other alternative, the doctor may recommend a desensitization or toleration procedure under which the patient will be administered gradually increasing dosages of the medication till the therapeutic dose is achieved. This procedure may take one to two days or more and is always done in a medical facility under strict medical supervision.
Where to Find Information
Patients who suspect they have a drug allergy or have side effects they are worried about can consult a qualified allergist for diagnosis and look up European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology's website for comprehensive, accurate information on drug allergy. EAACI is an internationally acknowledged non-government organization doing sterling work in research and spreading awareness on a vast array of allergy related topics.
Don't live in the dark - enlighten yourself with scientific information and know exactly what you're dealing with and learn how to best cope with your condition!

I have dug around in the interface for CDBurnerXP and haven't found a way of burning a disk with hidden files or directories on it.
There have been plenty of times in the past when I've built a CD or DVD with a hidden directory, so as to not distract the end user of the disk with extra information, filled with extra icons, or test programs. I don't want to have the files be hidden when they are on my source machine, just to be able to mark it with that attribute when it gets created on the disk.
Thanks. Wim.

Many of us imagine that every day will be filled with joy once we find our lifetime partners. We picture the thrill of sharing a family with that special one, and the sheer unending pleasure of a partner who is so very in tune with us.
Sometimes, though, we won't see our partners eye-to-eye the way we might like. Our lifestyle might differ, too, or we may bicker about things we would have once agreed on.

Goosebumps Trailer
Published Jul 08, 2015R.L. Stine's beloved young adult novels were already fodder for a Canadian television series in the '90s (a show that starred Fucked Up/No Warning member Ben Cook in two different episodes). Now, the series has finally been treated to a big-screen adaptation.
Sadly, Ben Cook is nowhere to be found in the trailer for Goosebumps. Instead, the movie stars Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Amy Ryan, Ryan Lee and Jillian Bell. And rather than adapt one book at a time, it looks like they've incorporated multiple Goosebumps characters into one narrative.
Watch the trailer for Goosebumps below. The film arrives on October 16.

Hvis Pakistan hadde hatt ren samvittighet og ikke visst at Osama bin Laden skjulte seg i Abottabad, skulle man tro de hadde hyllet pakistanerne som hjalp amerikanerne å ta ham av dage. Men Pakistan har gjort det motsatte. De har gått etter alle som hjalp USA.
Den mest profilerte er legen Shakil Afridi, som drev et vaksineringsprogram i Waziristan. Han ble rekruttert av CIA gjennom Redd Barna. Han hjalp amerikanerne å lokalisere al Qaida-folk i grensetraktene. Senere, da amerikanerne kom på sporet av Osama bin Laden, fikk de ham til å ta blodprøver av beboerne i villaen i Abottabad. Men Afridi visste ikke hvem amerikanerne var på jakt etter.
Han ga amerikanerne likevel det avgjørende sporet da han var med å lokalisere bin Ladens sendebud, Quwaiti, som bodde i forgården til gjemmestedet og var den som dro ut med beskjeder.
Pakistanske myndigheter arresterte Afridi umiddelbart etter operasjonen 2. mai 2011, og sinnet mot ham er stort.
Picked up by Pakistani intelligence agents days after the Bin Laden raid a year ago and now in secret detention, the doctor, Shakil Afridi, has embodied the tensions between Washington and Islamabad. To some American officials he is a hero, worthy of praise and protection; Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has personally appealed for his release. But inside Pakistan's powerful military, still smarting from the raid on its soil, he is seen as a traitor who should face treason charges that could bring his execution. "We need to make an example of him," one senior intelligence official said.
Ultimately, though, Mr. Afridi failed to establish Bin Laden's presence in Abbottabad or gather useful DNA — his main achievement was to establish cellphone contact with Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, the "courier" who guarded Bin Laden.
But he did, over the years, provide "valuable information" about Islamist extremists that saved both American and Pakistani lives, the official said. "His activities were not treasonous, as some have suggested; they were heroic and patriotic," he said.
Men pakistanerne ser det annerledes. De ser på Afridi som en forræder, og det faktum at han ble rekruttert gjennom Redd Barna har fått store konsekvenser for internasjonale hjelpeorganisasjoner.
Dr. Afridi has told interrogators for the top Pakistani military intelligence agency, the ISI, that he was introduced to the C.I.A. through Save the Children, according to Pakistani officials and Western aid workers. Save the Children vigorously denies the claim, saying it has been made a scapegoat by a desperate man who, according to senior American officials, has been tortured in Pakistani custody. Nevertheless his claims have had a stark impact on an organization that says it spent $105 million last year helping seven million Pakistanis, most of them women and children.
Senior managers have been forbidden from leaving the country, other staff members have been refused visas, and aid supplies have been blocked by customs officials, depriving an estimated 35,000 infants of medical care over a three-month period. Pakistani intelligence has monitored the phone calls and residences of Save the Children staff.
Other aid groups complain of problems, too, largely at the hands of Pakistani officials convinced that their employees could be spies. To them, the affair sheds new light on a murky practice that they say should never take place: the recruitment of aid workers as intelligence operatives in a sensitive country like Pakistan, already awash in conspiracy theories about Western meddling.
Hjelpeorganisasjonene er rasende på CIA, som er underlagt strenge restriksjoner på hvem de kan rekruttere som agenter. Men hva gjør man i et land som Pakistan?
Afridi går en dyster fremtid i møte.
Dr. Afridi's case is far from resolved. The government's Abbottabad Commission, which is investigating the Bin Laden raid, has recommended that Dr. Afridi should face treason charges — even before it has published its findings, expected this month. Others say the case is more complicated, arguing that it may fall under local tribal law, which would not allow the death penalty but could lead to anything from a quiet release for Dr. Afridi to perpetual imprisonment.
In any event, one senior government official said, "He is in for a long haul."
Fallout of Bin Laden Raid: Aid Groups in Pakistan Are Suspect

At the fair, visitors can have their blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and posture/balance checked. Additionally, body mass index calculation and walking analysis will be offered.
King said, "I have been wanting to do something like this for a number of years. I felt driven to give back to the communities that have supported us for the past 12-plus years. We truly enjoy serving the Fox River valley and are collaborating with AU and WCC's Health Science departments to allow our next generation of health care providers to begin the process of paying it forward and serving the community."

The event honored the work facilitated and supported by the Office of Outreach & Engagement over the past year, including roughly 40,000 hours of work completed by UI students and faculty in community engagement projects. Many were interdisciplinary, featuring students from multiple departments across campus, such as the College of Engineering, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Public Health, Graduate College (Urban & Regional Planning), and the College of Business. Faculty, staff, and students from these areas and more worked in communities touching all four corners of the state, collaborating with community members, groups, and organizations on projects and events that might not otherwise be completed without university involvement.
"The Office of Outreach & Engagement partnered faculty and students in academic courses with community partners to complete real projects that made a difference in our state. This structure not only brings faculty and students to Iowa's communities, but it also transforms how we teach and learn on campus," said Linda Snetselaar, associate provost for Outreach & Engagement.
Tara Cullison won a Student Excellence and Service Award for her leadership and work with Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities (IISC). Cullison remarked on the value of outreach and engagement work from a student's perspective. "Other than applying the work done in our courses in a real-world context,which was of course number one, the projects really build on some of our skills and introduce new skills we can use that are directly applicable to our careers. I was in an interview last week and they probably got sick of me talking about my Cedar County project. But every skill they were asking me to validate I learned in the past year or built on in the past year through this project," Cullison said.
Cullison, along with five other Urban and Regional Planning students, worked with the Cedar County Board of Supervisors and other key stakeholders to create a comprehensive plan for Cedar County, something they haven't done since 1980. Throughout the course of the academic year, Cullison was a strong leader for her group and took a lead role on developing a GIS land-use tool that will be used to guide growth and development in Cedar County, while preserving its rich agricultural land.
The Faculty Excellence and Service Award was presented to Lindsay Mattock, assistant professor in the School of Library and Information Science, to recognize her for a project she and students from her Archives and Media class collaborated on. Students in the class built an entire database from the ground up and a website to accompany it in just one semester to inventory architectural buildings in the City of Mason City."I'm really honored and kind of surprised. The collaboration that happened feels so effortless with the amazing staff at the Office of Outreach & Engagement," Mattock said when accepting her award. "It's so refreshing to come to a place where community engagement is part of the mission of the university and very much encouraged. Of course without staff like Nick (Benson) and Travis (Kraus), these partnerships would not be possible. They came to me and had projects that naturally matched with the classes I teach. Of course our wonderful community partner, Mason City, was so welcoming and opened their doors to their community and archives and helped to share their knowledge and expertise and guide the students throughout the term."
Mattock also called out her students. "They really are the heart of the project. Their dedication and enthusiasm really made the project successful," she said. "I feel so lucky and very excited to be in a place where community engagement and service learning is not only encouraged, it's actively supported and awarded."In addition to honoring UI faculty and students, community partners and volunteers were recognized for their work and service. Mason City and East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA) just completed two-year collaborations with IISC that matched community needs with the expertise and resources of university faculty, staff, and students through courses, independent studies and research projects. In the past year alone, 26 projects were completed in association with these partnerships, involving more than 100 students and 13 departments. The ECIA partnership enabled the UI to work with 16 different small communities within their region this past academic year.
Bob and Ann Osterhaus received the Outstanding Community Partner Award for their work leading the Layers of Maquoketa project, which uncovered and celebrated the community's history, stories, landscape, culture, and so much more. "Partnership with the University of Iowa over the last six or seven years has been one of the most exciting things we've ever been involved in as a community and as individuals," said Bob Osterhaus. "You can't believe what a good feeling it is to see our community change as a result of the commitment from the University of Iowa to our community. We've had some hard knocks in Maquoketa and we're rising above them. …There ought to be about 25 people up here filling my shoes tonight, because all of them have had something to do with what we've accomplished. It's a thrill to be recognized and it's fun to rise to the challenge and do new things, big things for our community."
The Osterhaus's work was also recognized by Campus Compact, which awarded the Community Partnership Award to the entire Layers of Maquoketa steering committee, along with the University of Iowa.
The University of Iowa Provost's Office of Outreach & Engagement
The Office of Outreach & Engagement connects hundreds of University of Iowa faculty, staff, and students to people and places across Iowa every year, creating partnerships that address community issues, enhance curricular experiences and create positive impact. The Office was established in the spring of 2013 and has touched 84 of Iowa's 99 counties through programs and activities.

Grief can be suffocating. Overwhelming. And you can't shut it up forever. When you try to shut it down, it sabotages you. (Or, embarrasses you in public with a grief burst!)
Do you know that 70% of widowed women become chronically ill or die within 3 years of their spouse? (That's a CDC statistic by the way. Many doctors think it's actually a higher percentage than that.)
Grief is a necessary phase of loss. You can't skip it. It's not like breakfast. (Well, it sort of is, but it's not good for you to skip breakfast either!) Grief ebbs and flows. One day, you've got this! The next, you can't get out of bed. What's a girl to do?
Knowledge is power, honey. The Widows Recovery System gives you the information and support you need so YOU have the power to take charge of your healing AND your future.
Created by a widow and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, it's a proven system for moving through grief into new life.
"Thank you for another meaningful, helpful, and insightful sacred support call. Our times together energize me. I feel optimistic after each conversation and know where to go and how to get there."
Karen, Hawaii

I had a date on Tuesday night. Nice dinner, warm atmosphere, engaging conversation. It wasn't our first, but it has been a while since we just sat and talked, so it was nice to just reconnect.
Of course, I insisted on getting the check, although now that I think about it, she really didn't put up much of an argument. In fact, I'm not even sure she knew that the waitress brought the bill, or that I handed it back to her.
That's OK, she really doesn't make any money. Other than the occasional birthday check or bribery money for taking care of the dog, her income is relatively negligible.
She's only 11 years old, so I can't really expect much, and since she is my daughter, I should probably relish these moments rather than complain about them. I start to see it in her, this internal struggle between being scared of leaving her "kid" years behind and moving forward with her own independence.
Heck, she's in middle school – all bets are off when you have a daughter in middle school. But for every roll of the eyes, every "it's not fair," I still get a snuggle on the couch, the holding of hands as we walk down the sidewalk. I get dinner with no little bother – I mean brother. And while our talk included discussion of what she is asking for from Santa (Ever feel like you are getting played?) and the silly things our dog, Max, does, we also discussed what is happening in Ferguson, Missouri, and what charitable deeds we can do this holiday season.
We will be celebrating Thanksgiving this year much like we did last year – in our popup camper somewhere in Utah. It has become somewhat of a tradition to join my father and his wife as well as my sister's family to see how long it takes for the turkey, gravy and stuffing to get cold.
Last year established the record of about 34 seconds. We sat (on blankets) high above a gooseneck of the Colorado River at Dead Horse Point, and while I knew the view from up there is unbelievable, the farthest I could see was about 15 feet. Dense fog and snow made most outdoor excursions quick in nature, including the Thanksgiving feast. So let's hope sunny, and warm, skies prevail; otherwise, I may suggest "camping" in Mexico for 2015.
Regardless of the environment, or that I may be eating at a wobbly table that converts into a bed in about a minute, I will be thankful. I will (hopefully) be gazing out on the Utah landscape with a full belly and a happy heart; I will have a slice of pecan pie and a glass of Kentucky's finest; I will have my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews in my company; I will have my kids – Asher and Elena – on either side of me.
I will have found my happiness far away from the troubles of the world or from the nearest box store wooing me with deals on stuff I really don't need. And for the moment, with a frosty breath and a chill that travels down to the tips of my toes, all I can do is smile.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Even when life throws you curve balls and it's difficult to look beyond the end of the day, find something to be thankful for. Look toward the La Platas or the Animas, or simply across the table. And give thanks. And smile.

There are some surprises in the City of Vancouver's Northeast False Creek rezoning plans for 750-772 Pacific Boulevard (the Plaza of Nations site, or Sub-area B), and the 777 Pacific Boulevard site (1 Robson Street, or Sub-area 10c) — previously covered by Price Tags —which appear to favour the developer, not the public.
The BC Pavilion Corporation — or PavCo, the public developer and a BC Crown Corporation under the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture — is exceeding the recommended square footage for the sites laid out in the guidelines by nearly twenty per cent.
The plan insists on a "gateway" of three over-height towers, well above the established heights for the site of 300 feet. Instead of three 30 storey buildings, the plan is asking for two tall towers of 42 storeys and a "smaller" tower of 40 storeys.
What the plan does not say is that the padded extra storeys are equivalent to another full 32 storey tower. These towers will privatize, for the condo developers, the view of the north shore mountains from locations along Cambie Street and from Queen Elizabeth Park; these are views that have been protected for future generations under the city's View Corridor Policy. and View Protection Guidelines. The developer PavCo has already submitted an alternative to the 42 storey tower which, at 26 storeys, provides a better street form and does not corrupt the protected views.
Advocacy group Save Our Skyline YVR has been formed to respond to the rezoning applications which will be going to Public Hearing on Tuesday July 10th. The group states:
If city council votes to let PavCo's tower through, this will set precedence for other real estate developers to pressure the City to allow them to penetrate the view cones too. This will be the end of Vancouver's unique mountain skyline as we know it. We cannot let city council and crown corporation Pavco privatize our free public views.
For the Pavco tower, there is currently another alternative proposed that does not impact the view corridors. The recommended zoning and the draft Design Guidelines from the City allow for a lower tower with 26 storeys of residential use that will be 300 feet in height, provide a better street form, and will not corrupt the view corridors. This form is a better alternative though the bulk proposed is still a form that follows finance.
Save Our Skyline YVR is asking people to sign up to consider speaking at the public hearings on Tuesday July 10, or consider writing a letter, signing a petition, and sharing this information on-line. You can find out more by following this link.
