Red Shadows
The Red Shadows are the remnants of the Arashikage ninja clan, the world's greatest assassins. Led by the ninja known only as Storm Shadow, they have allied themselves with Doctor X, who has enhanced their abilities with mechanical and biological augmentations.
When Mercy Gale was revealed as Doctor X, Storm Shadow and her Red Shadows rendezvoused with her on an airship. Though the airship was destroyed by the forces of the Action Man Programme, no bodies were found in the wreckage. Mr Love and Justice
A group of Red Shadows ninja were confronted by G.I. Joe in Tokyo G.I. Joe vol. 5 #1 while stealing supplies for the Section Sabine moonbase. Enter The Shadow Though the ninja outnumbered the Joes, and were able to resist the Joes' weapons with their mechanical enhancements, they were convinced to stand down by the Joe team's secret weapon: the former Decepticon Skywarp. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #1
When Action Man was accidentally brought to Section Sabine, Storm Shadow and the Red Shadows were present; when he escaped into the base, he killed one of the pursuing ninja. When Kup broke into the base, several Red Shadows were pulled out by the explosive decompression, and though some of those remaining used their Wraith-like enhancements to fight off Mayday, Blackrock, and the Micronauts, they ended up evacuating the base using the M.A.S.S. Device when the Ore-13 was destabilized. Enter The Shadow
- The Red Shadows are based on the villains of the Action Force franchise, the UK equivalent of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Rather than ninjas, those baddies were a paramilitary force who eventually became Cobra; they were led by Baron Ironblood, which doesn't seem to be the case in IDW. (Also, they had reptile-men called Krakens and a skeleton man called Skeletron, which is awesome.)

Vayne Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I'm MisterL2 and this is my first guide, I will edit this guide and it is still all WIP.
I am
Diamond I.
Vayne is a strong lategamer with a very weak early game but exceptional outplay skills especially with blade of the ruined king. In total, Vayne got the most amazing mechanics in the game. This makes her hard to play but also very very strong for 1v1 situations, lanefights and enables the outplays that Vayne is so famous for.
Her passive allows her to chase. That's it. Keep chasing.
Vayne's main ability is her Tumble as it allows for a very long stealth time in combination with ultimate and makes her the least vulnerable ad carry in lategame teamfights. She also benefits a little from blue buff due to the cooldownreduction. 0.2 Seconds might not seem that much, but if your cooldown decreases from 1.6 > 1.4 and you have 1 second of stealth, that removes a third of the time that you are visible during your ultimate.
Her Silver Bolts are a very strong lategame skill against tanks and therefore should be maxed secondly.
Her Condem is strong for early game lanefights and lategame 1v1 situations and therefore it is clever to take a point in it early to get the stun, but there is no need to max it fast for the little damage and cooldown reduction bonus. You should not spam this skill in laning phase due to the high mana cost. Only use it if you can cause a stun or to escape a potentially dangerous situation.
Her Final Hour allows for extra damage and enables the stealth for the Q while tripling the bonus movement speed from her passive. It has 3 purposes:
1) To escape using the stealth / Survive in a teamfight
2) To deal additional damage (Teamfights or rarely: Splitpushing, more tower damage)
3) Chasing: You have +60 movement speed from your ult if you chase, causing a total of +90 movement speed buff in total (30 from passive, tripled).
Vayne has 3 main problems:
She outranges you with her autoattacks and her Q and finishes you off with your ult. Her traps prevent your stealth. Additionally, she is a strong lategamer and only a little weaker than Vayne in the lategame, so you need to get money from somewhere. Doing the golems is a good way.
She has 3 main problems (yes, I like the number 3):
1) Her autoattack range of 650 is 100 higher than Vayne's.
2) Her Q has a huge range and deals alot of harass damage.
3) Vayne has no means of blocking or resisting Caitlyn's ultimate other than a very unrealistic Condemn (You'll never be in range or fast enough to do so unless Caitlyn is very stupid).
To counter this:
1) Stay back, only go forward to lasthit as late as possible and use tumble to move in and out quickly.
2) Use your Tumble to dodge her Piltover Peacemaker. Remember: Her Piltover Peacemaker costs alot more mana and has a channel time long enough for you to react.
3) Watch that you never fall low and make sure you have a tanky Leona / Blitzcrank support to protect you in case of emergency. Both of those have some type or shield.
Is by far her biggest problem.
There are only 2 problems with him though:
1) Huge damage and DOT with Spinning Axe.
2) His E prevents any chasing or silver-bolt-harass.
To counter this:
1) Buy at least two Dorans, sometimes even three. You can chose whether to start with Dorans or a Long Sword + 2 HP Pots in this case, but you really need 2-3 Dorans to survive the early game. Trust me, it pays off.
2) This one is hard to counter: A well-timed flash can jump OVER his E. This requires very good reactions though.
Varus might not be the most dangerous early-gamer for the first few levels if you stay passive and dodge his skillshots, but once he hits lvl 6 there is a big threat. Another problem is, that Varus does not fall off in lategame like Draven, so you need to farm well in the laning phase.
He has 3 problems (once again):
1) Skillshot ( Piercing Arrow) harass
2) Alot of harass damage with W + Passive
3) Ultimate prevents stealth (Very dangerous!)
To counter this:
1) Dodge with your Tumble
2) Stay back and once again only attack creeps if you can no longer wait. Do NOT fight with him before level 9 or 11 EVER.
3) You MUST take cleanse against Varus, otherwise his ultimate is an instant death sentence. You can try to dodge it with Q (which is very difficult) or with flash, though cleanse is safer.
Good & Bad Supporters
Well, this is very simple: Anything that gives an attackspeed buff and is possibly a little tanky to protect her.
Examples of good supports:
Nidalee (that maxes E)
Taric (tanky + sustain + resistance for vayne)
OK supports:
Nidalee (that maxes Q)
Bad supports:
Soraka (Vayne doesn't need mana, Soraka is not tanky)
Pro's and Con's
Vayne is strong in lategame and bad in earlygame. Is that it?
Strongest Lategame Damage
Almost permanent Stealth
Can 1v1 any Champion at Level 9 / 11, even a Draven
Huge kill potential through her Condemn.
Chase potential through passive
Decent ganks using Stealth
Lategame tank bursting with silver bolts + Botrk
VERY fast early dragons with silver bolts + Botrk and attack speed buffs from supporters.
Very weak early game
Easily bullied out of lane
Vulnerable to ganks without ultimate or on low levels of Tumble.
Little escape skills
Squishy early game (alright: an adc)
Easy to focus due to low autoattack range (excellent use of stealth needed!)
Easily loses potential if unable to chase successfully (Draven, Nidalee)
I hope I haven't done to bad and I will edit this guide later on and I would appreciate any constructive advice as of how to improve.
Vayne is a weak early game champion with a low autoattack range, but good chasing skills, good self defence, very strong 1v1 potential and probably the highest lvl 18 Damage (together with twitch) and for sure the highest tank-shredding ever. True %hp damage is all you need.
PS: Ashe doesn't counter Vayne. No, really! She's useless if you avoid her Volley.

During the grinding process of the cement ball mill, the performance of the grinding media determines the grinding efficiency and working ability of the grinding mill. In order to maximize the grinding effect of the ball mill, it is necessary to choose suitable grinding mill. cement plants for sale in rajasthanThe premise of selecting suitable grinding media is to learn about the types and texture of the grinding mill and this paper will deal with it.
ball mill
The grinding media with different shapes and sizes have different grinding effect during the powder grinding process. The grinding media that are commonly used in the cement plant can be divided into the following types according to their shape:
(1) Steel ball: Steel ball is a widely used grinding medium of ball mill. According to the powder grinding requirement, the steel ball with diameter of 20~120mm are often selected. As for the coarse grinding cabin of ball mill, various steel balls with diameter of 50~100mm are chosen, sale flotation separator for beneficiationand steel balls with diameter of 20~50mm are chosen for the fine grinding cabin.
(2) Steel forges. Steel forge is usually used in the fine grinding cabin of the open circuit ball mill.
(3) Steel rod. Steel rod is a grinding medium that is widely used in the rod mill and its diameter is often 40~90mm.
In the cement industry, the textures of the grinding media of the ball mill mainly are:
(1) High-chromium iron. It is an alloy white iron which has high chromium content with the property of anti-abrasion, anti-heat, anti-corrosion and high toughness. The abrasive resistance of the high-chromium iron ball is 8~12 times of common straight carbon steel ball.
(2) Low-chromium iron. It has low chromium content. Its toughness is relatively low so that it is suitable for being made of the small balls, iron forge and the lining board of the fine grinding mill.
(3) Casting bearing steel. It can be made of steel balls with various diameters. The...

OSCA Program Committee Minutes
Monday June 8, 2015
Firehall 6:00pm-7:45pm
Subsidy policy
Current subsidy policy allows for $500 annually per family.
"Subsidies are generally limited to a maximum of 1/3 of the program cost of one program/family member/session. Up to a maximum of $200.00/person/year and $500 per family. The Program Committee does have the right to waive this policy due to extenuating circumstances, and reserves the right to apply discretionary approval where appropriate. "
Relevance to After 4 was discussed at length. Essentially families use their subsidy, ezspecially if they have more than one child, within only a few months. This leaves nothing for Summer Camps, which are also necessary for working families.
Currently OSCA has allotted $2,000 annually to the subsidy program (February 19, 2013).
The Program committee would like to consider subsidies for After 4 separate from the overall subsidy program.
After 4 subsidies would be eligible for 40%.
Additional program subsidies (including camps, fitness and special interest) would be eligible for 40% off up to $800 per family, $500 per individual.
See decision item attached.
Use of community space- rental at Southminster and other locations?
Southminster has two classrooms available for rent at $1,000 monthly. The space would be available both during the day and in the evening. Use would be exclusive. Additionally there is an office available for $500 monthly.
It was agreed that the use of this space would help with JKSK After 4 programming, office space for staff and storage for After 4, relieving space at the Firehall front desk.
See decision item attached.
After 4 budget
Budget is projecting a loss. Traditionally when different department budgets were presented they were in the form of a 'project summary' from the Simply Accounting files. These summaries did not include OSCA fixed and admin costs and therefore the budgets projected strong profits. This has not been an accurate picture.
While the budget proposal does project high losses, with the proposed Southminster rental, there are considerations to make. For example, the admin fees may be fully collected within a shorter time period.
Hopewell yard use of space
OSCA Executive Director and Coordinators have met with the principal at Hopewell on a few occasions to secure regular use of the yard. At present After 4 is permitted use of the yard until 4:15pm. Alternate arrangements will be made in future in partnership with the daycare at the school and this arrangement will be confirmed in writing.
Closure plan review
The Firehall is closing for one week from June 18-24th inclusive. During that time the building will be painted, floor replaced in the Dance studio, protective coating placed in high traffic areas etc.
All clients have been informed, closure notices are on the website and will continue to be posted on Facebook, and signs are at the front of the building. Firehall Fitness Studio memberships will be extended by one week, as will Pottery studio. All classes have make up dates already confirmed.
Corporate/group rates for FFC (college of physicians request)
We have been approached by some staff at the College with this request. Christy will reach out and note she has been given permission to offer a 25% discount on the FFC, but not on classes. The offer to have instructors teach at the College during lunch hours will be made.
- Sandbanks- due to a number of safety concerns the camping camps will not be going to Sandbanks this year. The remote location, need for Bear Barrels or a closed hut for storage, and inability to find a 'waterfront' lifeguard were prohibitive factors. The camping camps will instead go to Lac Phillipe. The camp Coordinator will look at alternatives for next year.

A very brief note on the reporting of the recent vote on whether women should be allowed to become bishops in the Church of England.
Understandably, there has been a considerable amount of angst about the vote's failure to pass. However, I was slightly surprised by the reporting of the issue, which has focused almost exclusively on the supporters of the motion rather than those opposed. The BBC headlines have described how Archbishop Sentamu believes there will be "women bishops in my lifetime", how the new Archbishop of Canterbury regards it as a "grim day", and the "tears and anger" provoked by the vote.
The result is of course controversial, and to be frank, is not one I'm personally very happy about. The vote may well have been stopped by a minority of votes*, but I'm still keen to hear more from the other side.
* For the motion to have passed, two thirds needed to vote in favour. I realise I am simplifying a bit here.
Update 22/11/12: See Thomas's comment for a more informed view of things!

Bajaur Agency, Oct 15 : At least 14 Taliban were killed last evening when Pakistani security forces targeted their hideouts in various areas of the strife-torn Bajaur Agency.
The security forces used jet aircraft, helicopter gunships and heavy artillery to destroy Taliban hideouts in Rashkai, Tang Khatta, Tangi, Chinar and Kotki areas of the agency. The forces bombed suspected Taliban hideouts twice in Charmang, Chinar and Kotki, the Daily Times quoted the sources as saying.
The fighting in Bajaur is some of the heaviest since the war on terror started in 2001.
Meanwhile, fighting between the Taliban and the Charmang tribal lashkar continued and both sides used heavy artillery. The lashkar and Taliban took positions against each other in Charmang. The lashkar set a number of Taliban houses on fire.
Separately, the political administration continued its crackdown on Taliban and Afghan refugees, arresting 16 people including some refugees.
The Online News agency reported that the Bajaur political administration arrested 100 people of the Mamoond tribe for not taking action against Taliban.
Security forces also bombed Bandi, Alam Gunj and Gash Kor areas in Khwazakhela tehsil of Swat for the third consecutive day, killing two civilians including a woman. A curfew is still enforced in the area.

Letter(s) from Ulyana Saukina to S. H. (USA)
Letter 1
Good afternoon, I saw your profile on a site onelove.net You have liked me also I was grateful to correspond with you.
My name is Uliya, I the girl and me of 29 years.
I wish to learn about you if you will not be against contact to me more.
You can give the answer. My e-mail adress: firstname.lastname@example.com I send the picture for you, I hope that is pleasant to you also you will give me the answer and to send the picture.
Faithfully Uliya!
Letter 2
I am very glad that you wrote to me, I saw yours photo! I must confess that I was waiting for an answer very much, but were not sure what you write. When I saw your letter, it was indeed a surprise! We do not know each other, but I really wanted to know you better! I have long dreamed to get acquainted with a man. My name is Uliya. I'm 29 years old, I was born on 18 july 1980, 30 years will be fast to me. I already become the old girl! Perhaps, in my opinion the photo I am younger. Often people who do not know me, very surprised when I tell my age. I do not know why??? It can that I try to watch myself and the body. I hope you like my photos which I have sent you together with the letter!? How I have liked you??? I would like to see your new photos too! If you have them, please send me! I shall be very glad! I hope that my age appropriate for you? The difference in our age is not a problem for me because the basic things, like a person feels! I do not know why, but I have always been interested in a man like you. I am very glad that you have found and want to know you better! I'm from Russia in the big city of Ivanovo. It in the central part of Russia. Perhaps you not heard about this city? My city in Russia name city of brides. Here there live the most beautiful girls in Russia. I live alone in a small apartment. I'm not married, and now it is open to new relationships. I have never been married, no children. I as everything, wish to have children of not less than 2 kids. I've always dreamed about real happiness, but so far have not found it. It may sound surprising to you, but it true. I because of it have decided to find the favourite person by means of the Internet. I heard much that it is the best variant for creation of family and to find the favourite person. In a reality and in the city I have no sense to find real males. I wish to find real for the life. I do not play and I am not going to play with you and I do not deceive. If you do not wish to create serious attitudes, you inform me. So that I did not think of what or serious. If you wish to have serious attitudes then we shall learn more about each other.
A little about me:
I'm blonde. My height is 174 cm and weighing about 53 kg. I like communicating and I have friends. We are very good to spend time together. I can say that in my life is almost everything. But there is no one person who will care for and love me. I had relationships before, but this was not what I really wanted. I hope that we can continue our correspondence, if you do not mind. I shall be very glad if we are friends now but when or we shall have serious attitudes and can we shall together when or and to have the general family. I work as the doctor on first aid. We go to patients and we carry in hospital. It is more than time we with colleagues on road. I love such work and I have already got used. That to me long time is not present the house. But not who at home does not wait for me, as I live one in the apartment. When I have free time, I spend it on going out with friends and entertainment. I have many interests and can always invent something new! I hope you all understand what I write. My grammar is not perfect, but I try to improve it. English I could study only at school and in institute. It would I think that is enough for today, I would like to tell you more, but I'll try to do this in my next letter! I'll wait for your letter! I really would like to know you better!
Take care Uliya.
Letter 3
Hello, my dear!
How are you? I very much waited your letter and a photo! It's very interesting to learn everything new about you!
Today, I hasten to write more about yourself! I love life, and I would like to spend time with good people. I am an optimist and always try to have a good mood! I believe that everything that is in our lives only as a result of our choices and actions, and therefore only depends on us, everything that we get a result. Of course, it is impossible to be constantly cheerful, and sometimes I feel lonely and tired. But I can not be such a long time, so I'm trying to fill my day as much as possible. Now many women try to be like men, and even surpass them. I think that this is not correct. Of course, the woman should realize the ambitions and interests. But it is not always possible to be strong! By nature, women are weaker than men, and requires care and attention. In my life really is not. I have no family, I the orphan. I grew and was brought up in children's home. I know what information on the parents. I have no brother or the sister. But life goes on, and increasingly feel that I should create your family! Perhaps, for women it is especially important! Probably because of it I most appreciate those qualities in people.
I love the kitchen! I can do almost any food and it turns out, is very tasty, so my friends very much like to go to visit me. I would always prepare for my man and take care of him when we are together! I support my health and body in the best possible way! I'm not interested in alcohol, probably only a glass of good wine. Of course, I do not smoke, because it is very bad for women. I know it as the medical worker. Also, I love to read! Especially magazines about life, fashion, and cuisine and, of course, interesting books! I love movies, music, dancing and walks in the fresh air! Twice a week I go to the gym for aerobics employment. Sports and good food makes me a good shape and good mood! Also, I like rollerblading and biking! In the winter I love skiing! I love nature, forests, lakes and rivers! Sometimes I can go with friends from the city at barbecues or picnic! Life in the big city is not as good as it may seem, and I am very glad when I can go to a new location! I do not go for a walk late at night, because my city is very dangerous. It now in any city dangerously. At you it is dangerous to go at night?
Unfortunately, many people are drunk and high crime. Usually TV is trying to hide it, but it's true. In Russia, a country of contrasts. On the one hand, this is a very beautiful country with great history, but on the other side - the bureaucracy, crime and cruelty. But I believe that someday, where the world becomes kinder. I tell you a little secret! I hope that we will be friends, and we can hold this time together and know each other better! Now I have no exact plans, since it depends on my vacation from work! But as soon as I find it just let you know! I am afraid that I must finish my letter! I'll wait for mail from you very much! Have a good day!
Letter 4
Hello, my dear friend!
What's your mood? How is your weather? I hope you are all well! I am very glad to receive your letters! And I read your letters. I can understand that at us with you identical tastes in rest. Today bad weather and your mail improves my mood! I felt a little lonely today. Usually, I always try to be cheerful and positive. I am an optimist, and I wanted to smile. How happy does not require much prophetic, sometimes quite a smile to the mood. But people without love can not be happy., When is the next closest person whom you love, life becomes fine irrespective of where you live and what you have. But the loneliness fills life with grief. I'm tired of it, and I want to change everything at once. How are you today? I love music very much, but the choice depends on my mood. I love to dance I love the radio or listen to music just a tool. Such music can relax and rest. In this music I love to dream. I love movies very much. In Russia create good movies, too. My favorite Russian film - Admiral, irony. I love foreign films too. I take great interest in learning English though I could study. But grammar at me not fine. I started when I went to school. I'm not so fond of grammar, because I like to talk and communicate. I've never had a friend abroad, but now I'm writing a letter to you, and it is a great pleasure for me! I wrote to you earlier that I have many friends. But only one best friend. She name - Lena. She is a true friend and always helped and supported me as I can to help her. We often spend time together! I am very glad that I have such a friend. I always dreamed that I was surrounded by only the good kind people. I want to find a man with a good heart who care, respect and love me. I love kindness, and I hate lies. For me, the most important thing in a man - honesty. Without this it is impossible to create a world of harmony and love. Lying destroys love. I am ready to give all my love to the man, who is also willing to give me her love. I think the main thing in any relationship of mutual respect and understanding. But of course, also kindness, care and support. I am glad that I have the opportunity to address you, and I am glad that you write to me. And this is really the best that I have. I'll wait for your letters again and again. Be well my dear friend. Your friend Uliya.
Letter 5
Hello my dear friend!
I am very glad, that you have written. Many thanks that you do the interesting letter for me. You have again lifted my mood and have placed a smile in my face. Today I have gone to the work, being absolutely assured, that you write to me. You become the best friend for me and I always wait your letters! I most of all appreciate in people honesty, kindness, respect, compassion. I do not respect with arrogance in people. I think, that the arrogance worsens a life to these people and to closer people too. My main hope and dream is to find beloved man and create happy couple with him! For me the main thing, that the person loved me, dear as the person and has paid to me attention. I do not ask, that he sat with me every minute. No, I want, that my beloved has do not forget date of our acquaintance! I am assured, that I shall have the happiest family. I shall make everything for my man and I lived in harmony and mutual understanding. I always would support my beloved, when he will be tired go in bad mood. I sit with my favourite every evening also have divided ideas and dreams I wish to work and help to the husband with difficulties of a life. As I have told to you, that I do not think, that age so important. The most important, that is in you and as do you feel about a life. I know this life from many sides, and I more likely mature already to, know how to make the person happy. I wish to try something very much, that I shall regret, whether I shall not try. I think, that we should use all chances to find our happiness. The life is too short to think and dream only. I sincerely hope, that ours correspondence will allow us to learn better each other. Certainly on our way there will be many complexities.
It is possible, that we can remain only friends. Possibly between us strong feeling of love and respect will appears. Now I do not know. The life will show. I have not told to you about my city. This it is big city, but I am already very tired from vanity, noise and constant movement. I love my city for its parks, avenue, palaces, theatres and channels. My favourite place of walks is a recreation park. But a life in the big city enough expensive also it is necessary to work diligently to provide it. I even more often would like to leave it and to move to another place, because the life in the big city becomes dangerous and I would not like to create family here. Mass media constantly inform on terrible events and incidents for last day. I cannot sometimes believe, that it happens beside to me, but it is valid so. My friend, I shall be very glad to learn more about your city too! All that you write very interestingly for me! I shall wait your new letter with impatience and there is more than photo from you! I today have forgotten a disk with my photos and I can not send you. But in the following letter I shall send you. I send you care and the best regards!
Yours friend Uliya.

Repeating Content – query_posts problem
I've stared at this for the last hour and can't figure out what the problem is, so maybe a pair of fresh eyes will be able to spot what is wrong.
So, I'm using query_posts to call different numbers of posts from different categories on my pages. This has worked without any problems so far. For example on my index page I have two content boxes which display certain content from 2 seperate categories. Than in my sidebar I have used it to display the last three posts from another category.
So, what I want to do next is use it for my navigation to control the list of title links to the posts. So this is the code I have used:

<a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>" class="home">Home

About

Services

Athletes
 <?php query_posts('showposts=20&cat=5'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
 <?php endwhile; ?>

TimeTables

Blog

Contact

But, when I place this code in my header.php file, and upload it to the site all the pages and posts point to the last post in category id #5. For some reason I guess the loop isn't ending for that section, but I'm not sure why? Is it because it's in my header.php file? When I remove the code from my header.php file everything returns to normal.
Suggestions, ideas, solutions?

The Scottish government is currently holding a consultation on proposed changes to the domestic abuse and sexual offences laws. We have reproduced the executive summary below.
The consultation closes on June 19th. Details on how to respond are available here.
Executive Summary
This consultation seeks views on a number of issues relating to how the criminal law and criminal justice system addresses domestic abuse and sexual offences.
We are seeking views on five specific issues:
The question of whether the current criminal law reflects the true experience of victims of long-term domestic abuse, including coercive control, and whether a specific domestic abuse offence would improve the ability of people to access justice through effective prosecution of domestic abuse;
The need for a specific new criminal offence to address the sharing of private intimate images without permission from the subject of the images (often referred to as 'revenge porn');
The need for jury directions in sexual offence cases to provide guidance on how juries should consider:
The fact that a significant period of time elapsed between the time the offence occurred and the reporting of the offence to the police
the absence of the use of physical force by the alleged attacker or the absence of use of physical resistance on the part of the alleged victim;
Changes to the disposals available to a court where a person is found unfit to stand trial due to a mental or physical condition but an examination of facts finds that they did commit acts constituting an offence; and
Extension to the extra-territorial effect of the law concerning sexual offences against children to include offences committed elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
Zero Tolerance have published their response to the consultation here.

T-Mobile in Q4 Reports a $20 Million Net Loss Despite adding 1.65 Million Customers
T-Mobile had a pretty big Q4 2013, although it wasn't as big as we all thought it was. T-Mobile CEO John Legere stood on stage at CES in January showing us how they've added 1.65 million new customers in Q4. Which is all good, especially given they are the number 4 carrier, and just a couple quarters ago, they were shedding customers left and right. Now the complete Q4 results for T-Mobile US are finally in, and some numbers look great, others, not so much.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
As we know, T-Mobile added 1.65 million customers in Q4. They also brought in about $6.8 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter, which is a 39% increase year-over-year. However, this still did result in a massive $20 million net loss for the quarter. A loss is a loss, but T-Mobile didn't have the biggest loss of the fourth quarter. Anyone remember Motorola and Sprint's numbers? As most of you know, it takes money to make money, and T-Mobile is putting their money in all the right places. That includes buying some 700MHz spectrum from Verizon, working on their LTE network and more.
Now for the highlights of 2013, T-Mobile added 4.4 million customers. Postpaid churn was 1.7%, down 70 basis points year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA of $5.317 billion and adjusted EBITDA margin o 26% on a pro forma combined basis. Rapid progress with the integration of MetroPCS by expanding the brand into 30 additional markets. Currently 3.5 million MetroPCS customers enjoying T-Mobile's network, they also met or exceeded all company guidance targets for 2013, which is great to hear.
Overall, T-Mobile did have a pretty big year. Yes they lost some money in Q4, but who didn't? The thing is, T-Mobile is putting together a nice turnaround, which could make them a big contender with AT&T and Verizon in the future, which is what we all want, right?

Hi there. Well, later yesterday I heard on radio that the mutilation did not actually occur. Stow was not cut up as described. The stupid media mis-reported from a court document that described examples of mayhem. Except for that one comment I heard I didn't see any other media corrections of the "story."
I just felt the cutting didn't fit the story at all, anyway. Too many questions, as in why wasn't it reported before and how could they have the time to do all that. I had also seen a photo allegedly of Stow on a gurney, face up, and his face was pale, not bloody at all.
I see. Thanks for that correction. All of those things read together sounded a trifle heinous.

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, "breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States", and "each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer". With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Dr. Cynara Coomer (the Chief of Breast Surgery and Director of the Comprehensive Breast Center at Staten Island University Hospital and Fox News Medical Contributor) and her patient Celia Duffy joined me to discuss the BC5 Project which advises and educates women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, as well as brachytherapy (a five day radiation treatment).
Candace Rose: Dr. Coomer, what is the BC5 Project?
Dr. Cynara Coomer: "The BC5 Project is a program where we're empowering and educating women and advising them on the treatment options that are available to them. It's really broadening their awareness. Women need to know that not one size fits all when it comes to their treatment options. With one in eight women being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, we want them to know that there are various different options for them."
Candace Rose: Are there any underutilized options women should know about?
Dr. Cynara Coomer: "One of the most common underutilized options is brachytherapy. It's a five day treatment of radiation treatment. It's a targeted dose that's given within the breast tissues. Unlike whole breast radiation, which is six weeks of treatment, the skin and chest wall are not exposed to radiation treatment and they also don't get the fatigue that comes along with that. It's not only shorter so that they can get back to their lifestyles, whether it's work/family and friends, but in addition to that, it really has no side effects."
Candace Rose: Can you both offer some thoughts and advice for women who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer?
Dr. Cynara Coomer: "Definitely speak to your doctor about your options. The BC5 Project actually did a survey which indicated that women really do rely on their doctors recommendations, and of the women that they surveyed, less than 7% of the women had actually heard about the treatment options. And of the women that were surveyed, 76% of them said they would have liked to have known because they would have liked to have been candidates for this treatment. Do your research and also speak to your physicians about what your options are, especially when you've been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. My patient Celia has also undergone brachytherapy has undergone and she has advice to offer patients."
Celia Duffy: "I underwent brachytherapy in July. It was a one week treatment. Treatments were twice a day for five days and I had no side effects, no pain. It was fine for me, so I would advise women to do their research with their doctor and decide on this option."
Candace Rose: How are you feeling today, Celia?
Celia Duffy: "I feel fine, thank you."
Candace Rose: Do either of you have any additional information you'd like to share?
Dr. Cynara Coomer: "One of the things I think is so important to highlight about five day radiation is the future options for patients if they've undergone it. Patients who have whole breast radiation, if they develop a recurrence or second breast cancer will likely need to undergo a mastectomy because they can't have radiation again. But a woman who has done the five day radiation treatment, may be able to do a lumpectomy and radiation treatment should she develop a recurrence or a second breast cancer. It certainly opens up the doors for patients in the future."
Candace Rose: Where can viewers go for more information on brachytherapy and the BC5 Project?
Dr. Cynara Coomer: "They can go to our website at BC5Project.com to find out more information, what their options are and how to discuss it with their physicians."

In the early 1970s, Broughton Coburn lived and taught school in a subsistence-farming village on the edge of Nepal's Himalaya Mountains. It was there that he met and developed a unique friendship with a septuagenarian native widow named Vishnu Maya Gurung, fondly known to her relatives and locals as Aama, "mother." When Coburn moved into the hayloft above her water-buffalo shed, Aama became his landlady, but she also treated him like the son she never had. Having lost his own mother shortly before he met Aama, Coburn forged an immediate bond with the sprightly Nepali woman. Fifteen years after he first met Aama, Coburn returned to her remote village with his future wife Didi and an invitation for Aama to join them on a trip to America. At eighty-four, Aama believed she had become a burden to her grandchildren and therefore welcomed the chance to visit her adopted son's country. For Coburn, this was a way to introduce Aama to relatives and friends back home; but for Aama the trip represented something more - a pilgrimage that had been prescribed for her by village priests, an opportunity to gain merit by undertaking a strenuous journey during the final stage of her life. Aama in America is a vivid chronicle of what became a twenty-five-state, coast-to-coast adventure. Guided by the perpetual curiosity and deeply spiritual orientation of their intuitive, unpredictable travel companion, Coburn and Didi gradually began to view their country from an entirely new perspective. The more they experienced Aama's unclouded vision of America, the more they realized they were not simply traveling across the United States - they were undertaking an emotional and philosophical odyssey toward a greater understanding of their culture, their country, and themselves.
Account of a cross-country American journey the author undertook with an 84-year-old Himalayan woman he befriended while working in Nepal. (Apr.)

It is so important to publicize the plight of bats. They are not only wonderful creatures, but very important to our ecosystem.
As a member of the Bat conservation Trust and a bat carer with my local bat group, i am well aware of the problems facing about a quarter of all bat species worldwide. The greatest number of species live near to the equator, where they face the greatest threat, destruction and fragmentation of their habitats and overhunting by humans who are ignorant to their status and importance.. Bat Conservation International does a fantastic job in many countries that have little in the way of local groups dedicated to conservation. They help local groups to educate people about the importance of bats and to gather important data about the distribution of species that we know next to nothing about. Without Bat Conservation International many people accross the world would remain ignorant of the wonder and importance of these much misunderstood creatures. With education comes understanding and ultimately a new generation of humans dedicated to helping bats to survive.
There is just something special about organizations which care about the least among us or those that others may ignore. Bat Conservation International, Inc. does such a wonderful job of letting the public know how important bats are to us and why they are as deserving of our love and protection as any other animal. I applaud their efforts and support them. I have to admit I was a big vampire fan so I was always fond of bats, but understanding the real plight of these maligned creatures has made me even more concerned for their survival.
Bat Conservation International members discover the world of bats--and how valuable bats are to the planet. From the magazine to the conservation projects it is evident that everyone at BCI cares about conservation and communication!

Is it? Is it okay to lose? That's the message in this blogpost by Angela from Days in Bed. But I have to play devil's advocate and present a different opinion. The message is noble and "nice" but I think it could be detrimental to the confidence, and success of our kids.
Take a look at this post and let me know whether you agree. I voiced my opinion in the comments.
My daughter wanted to win the daily maths knockouts. She wanted to get an assembly award every week. She started to come home upset when she only got 9 out of 10 in her spelling. My child felt sad when she lost a board game. In her mind she had to win everything. The world was black or white, win or lose, there was no middle ground.

The Digital Entertainment Group Europe announced that, following robust sales in 2009, strong Blu-ray Disc (BD) sales continued during the first quarter of 2010, topping 151.4 million Euros.
According to the statement, combined with DVD sales, the home entertainment market (in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and UK) saw an increase of 2.3% in sales, a total of 1.5 Billion Euros and a unit increase of 3.8%. In 2009, sales of Blu-ray Discs grew 109% and the sales figures for Q1 2010 – more than 8.4 million discs sold between January and March 2010 – suggest Blu-ray Disc sales will continue to match this level in 2010.
The results, released by the Digital Entertainment Group Europe, highlight the growing popularity of the high-definition format and increased consumer demand for high quality home entertainment products.
The chart below provides the European wide summary:
|Sales (Euros)
|Volume (Units)
|€151.4 Million
|8.4 Million
|€1.3 Billion
|135 Million
|€1.5 Billion
|143.5 Million
DVD disc sales increased 0.9% during the first quarter of the year, and saw a mild 1.7% decrease in value. However, the uprising in Blu-ray Disc sales offset this decline, further evidence of the increasing popularity and appeal of the Blu-ray Disc format.
"Blu-ray has continued to ride the wave of success at the start of 2010 and it is promising to see consumers respond well to the format," said Yves Caillaud, Senior Vice President (EMEA) of Warner Home Video and Digital Distribution and Chairman of the DEGE. "With the release of some of most popular films in cinematic history in the coming months, we expect to see Blu-ray sales continue to do well through the year. The industry is providing consumers with the most innovative and enjoyable home entertainment experiences, and we expect sales to increase as the penetration of HDTVs continues to accelerate."
Recent releases on the Blu-ray Disc format include:
* 2012
* A Serious Man
* Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
* Fantastic Mr. Fox
* Inglorious Basterds
* Jennifer's Body
* Nowhere Boy

Or – "The Last Of The First Comics Books…"
For the first time in quite some time, we have a big anniversary issue that actually IS the issue that it purports to be. Captain America, The Hulk, Wonder Woman and Daredevil all had false 600th issues, while Wolverine and Deadpool both for some reason invented #1000's. Action Comics debuted back in 1938, making this issue a legitimate issue 600, although the weekly frequency of the book in the late 80's could be considered cheating. In any case, the Man of Steel returns to his original title this issue after a pretty long absence, and the question in my mind is this:
Am I the only one who finds Alex Ross' cover image creepy as all heck?
Writer: Paul Cornell/Damon Lindelof/Paul Dini/Geoff Johns/David S. Goyer
Artists: Pete Woods/Jesus Marino/Dan Jurgens & Norm Rapmund/Rags Morales/Ardian Syaf/Jamal Igle & Jon Sibal/Gary Frank/Ryan Sook/RB Silva/Miguel Sepulveda

Colorist: Brad Anderson/Java Tartaglia/Paul Mounts

Editor: Matt Idelson/Wil Moss
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $5.99
Previously, on Action Comics: Clark Kent, secretly Superman, was rocketed from a dead planet by his parents many years ago. In recent months, he found that the planet wasn't quite as dead as it seemed, but recent events have returned us (as they always seem to do) to the status quo. This title has recently been taken over by his childhood friend Lex Luthor, whose experience during the Blackest Night has led him to seek the power of Nekron's black power ring. Also: Doomsday. Sigh…
Man, This One Is Big…
First thing I can tell you is that we haven't seen books this thick since Marvel's 100-Page Monster experiment in the 90's, as I recall, with somewhere over 90 pages of story content in this anniversary issue. It's, esssentially, 4 times the package for not quite twice the price, which makes me happy from the get-go. The fact that the primary story (by Paul Cornell and a host of artists) is a tie-in to 'Reign of Doomsday' dampens that joy just a little bit, but it at least gives us a nice climax to the Lex Luthor arc of recent months. Lex's search for phenomenal cosmic power has ended with him attaining his goal, and immediately using it to punish Superman. The best part of it all comes when Lex reads Superman's mind to find out what his greatest pain is, and realizes that the Big Red S is none other than his old pal Clark. In true Luthor logic, though, he is immediately filled with rage that the monstrous alien has been laughing at him all these years. While the boys from Smallville work out their social issues, everybody else who wears the S crest is getting beaten up by Doomsday, which undermines some of the emotional depth, and the art on the Team Superman sections is very unpolished, very 1993 in it's execution.
Superman Means A Lot Of Things To A Lot Of People
If you read Superman #400 back in the day, congratulations! You're old! But you also remember how there are a lot of differing thoughts on what it is that makes Superman iconic and awesome and such. This issue plays with those elements again, as the main story is followed with several tales that work with different elements of the mythos ranging from Lost's Damon Lindelof taking on the death of Krypton to Geoff Johns' story of Lois inviting her husband's old friends over for dinner. Of course, when those old friends are the freakin' Legion of Super-Heroes, it makes things a bit more complicated than when I have my pals over for Wii Party and pizza rolls. There's a pretty shocking moment wherein Superman gives up his American citizenship to prove a point (!!) and a nicely handled story written by Richard Donner, but the overall effect of this issue is a whirlwind of super-stuff that makes me forgive them for several overt artistic references to the 'Death of Superman,' a story that has not aged well at all.
The Verdict: So… Much… CONTENT…
I am frankly overwhelmed by the amount of stuff going on in this issue, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good in that the amount of story content for the dollar is very strong, but not so much with the good that it's hard to remember the first story once you've gotten to the end. I've read the issue three times through and I'm still finding things that I missed in prior readings. I am thankful that we have very little "Superman as Jesus" going on, a metaphor that has officially worn out it's welcome in my corner of Stately Spoilers Manor, and a couple of points in the issue (Superman arriving at a demonstration and standing silently in solidarity, the hero of a lost race commisserating with the Man of Steel about their status as outsider and protector) are quite unique and excellent. It's a shame that DC chose not one, not two but THREE spectacularly unappealing covers, with David Finch's striking me as particularly misbegotten to look at. Overall, though, you take the good, you take the bad,
you take 'em both and there you have the Facts of Life and you tally them all up and the good of this issue far outweighs the Doomsday. Errr… I mean the bad. We're set up for our next big Super-event (which I'm not looking forward to, really), we have a nice cameo from Death of the Endless, Lex Luthor's quest comes to a fitting (and dramatically appropriate) end, and there's a whole lot of lovely Superman moments during the journey. It's also REALLY #900, which earns a half-star in and of itself. Action Comics #900 is a pretty strong anniversary special, and earns a well-deserved 4 out of 5 stars overall.
Faithful Spoilerite Question Of The Day: Why do people keep hitting the 'Superman as Jesus' button when it's clear as day that Superman is, in fact, Moses?
25 Comments
After reading your review I decided that maybe I will have to give it a chance but when I first heard about Action #900 it broke my heart. Why do they have to fuck with thing I love. Superman gives up on being an American? That sucks..and the idiots in charge of ABC daytime canceled "All My Children."
What's the world coming to?
Considered buying this issue, but money was tight. May have to go and pick it up at somepoint.
As for your question: I actually wrote a paper on the Moses analogue. I think the Jesus-thing is a more prominant image in Western culture?
Everybody pushes the "super-jesus" button because it's an easy analogy to make? That seems to be what people do: create easy but slightly-inaccurate analogies in order to explain/relate to things. :D
All analogies are inaccurate if you push them too far. That's why they are analogies instead of the real thing!
About Superman giveing up being American. It made headlines in my dear Denmark!
May i say that your question is an excellent one? i had always thought of Superman as the Golem of jewish mythology and found the nigh constant allusion to superman as Jesus (since at least the death of superman) a painful mis-opportunity. an outsider with incredible power that is almost but never can quite be human. Being ultimatiely unfallible (as jesus must be) robs any story told about him of an… urgency? that i feel is needed to read to find out what happens to him month after month.
Well, scratch Superman and Action comics from the list of stuff I read. Damn I am so tired of the legacy of my nation being trashed. As my English pals would say, "Bullocks to this bloody 'world citizen' nonsense!"
Agreed. It strikes me as soapboxing, using a character you are borrowing to be steamed that people who don't think like you exist (which is the attitude the modern American political system runs on); any other country having a character who is part of their national identity renounce it because of authorial preference would be a huge deal, but because it's America we're all supposed to just shrug & go "oh, well"? It bothers me, and it bothers me more that there's plenty of otherwise intelligent people who see this as a logical story move rather than a particularly ill-timed publicity stunt with little regard for the character's symbolism (religious or otherwise) outside of comicdom's isolated perspective.
Mark my words, this will wind up being another black eye move that makes comics & their readers look like fools to the general public. And it'll definitely feed the paranoia machines known as news networks, which is always death for any sort of respectability.
Feeding the news networks is death for respectability? I tend to think that anything the news networks hate is probably the right way to go.
It's about time they got past the "American way" stuff. When was the last time any of the major superheroes had to deal with threats that were actually about the USA? The stories are usually either localized to one city (and very often they're unrelated to politics) or they're global in scope. I think we could drop the A off of the JLA and the JSA and not lose anything major.
Well they tried dropping the "A" and what they had was a mess (JLI) that no one cared for or read and it got cancelled.
The majority of comic book readers are Americans and when you tend to crap all over their country the ones that are not leaning far left tend to get annoyed and abandon whatever product is being pushed by those folks (think Dixie Chicks, they have never or well ever recover for being cowards and attacking the country and people that made them rich), Dc/WB will also follow suit with a decrease in sales and readers abandoning their products.
It got cancelled after TEN years, and then only because Grant Morrison had a pitch for Big Gun JLA.
AND its been revived in an awesome mini-series!
I haven't read the story, so I don't know the context. But Superman has legitimate reasons to drop his US citizenship, if really does value "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" in THAT order. Unlike President Obama, Supes wasn't born in America (Look I made it relevant to current events!). And he never officially emigrated, since that would involve blowing his Clark Kent cover. So for the sake of "Truth," he might have to refuse official recognition as an American.
Of course, that's probably not how the matter was handled in the issue at hand.
Kal-El was the ultimate "illegal immigrant" to the United States who, as many liberals out there champion, was given American citizenship due to his good works and his love and service to this country. Much like the immigrants who start off serving in the US military and then becoming citizens. So in that respect as well I find it amusing that comic writers (who tend to be more liberal in their views, much like others from the entertainment and media world) who would probably support amnesty for an "illegal immigrant" from Central America would take a character that was actually GIVEN citizenship status and have him toss it to the side as if it were some noble gesture. Ditto for Wonder Woman, who was also an "immigrant" from Paradise Island but came on the scene with a costume designed like an American flag. How ironic that the only member of the DC Trinity that's actually an "American" is the one that has been the least concerned about politics, public perception and "patriotism": Batman.
So if "Superman" is no longer an American citizen, then this also makes Clark Kent exactly what Lex Luthor sees him as…a hypocritical, manipulating alien with god-like powers. If Supes is all of a sudden such a paragon of virtue, then he should dump "Clark Kent" as well.
I looked forward to the #900 of Action Comics as being at least a bit of a return to the status quo for Superman. I am extremely dissapointed.
Think of how many DC artists aren't even in the States–it makes perfect sense that they'd want to expand Supes beyond the USA. Besides, his conflict is clear–he has to uphold what is right, and the government wants to restrict him from doing that. So in order to uphold his own principles, he has to let go of his allegiance to the USA-above-all.
It's kinda Christian, if you think about it: justice, virtue, humanity all trump nationalism.
This snippet from bessettepitney.net just sums things up for me:
At The Weekly Standard, Jonathan Last writes:
Heck, what does "citizen of the Universe" even mean? Will Superman now adhere to the Tamaran code of honor? Will he follow the Atlantean system of monarchy? Does he believe in liberté, égalité, fraternité, or sharia? Does he believe in British interventionism or Swiss neutrality? You see where I'm going with this: If Superman doesn't believe in America, then he doesn't believe in anything.
Last is not the first to make such a point about citizenship. As our chapter on civic culture notes, James Madison recorded similar comments from Gouverneur Morris at the Constitutional Convention:
As to those philosophical gentlemen, those Citizens of the World as they call themselves, He owned he did not wish to see any of them in our public Councils. He would not trust them. The men who can shake off their attachments to their own Country can never love any other.
Nationalism isn't even a good idea in the first place. It was never a very good fit for Superman (well, at least since WW II ended, I guess).
I only wish it included Clark's citizenship. It is unconfortable to see him have Clark's US citizenship as a fallback or worse.
I wonder if anyone here actually read the issue?
Superman basically stands with and protects a bunch of protesters on foreign soil. Since he represents the U.S. he must give up his citizenship to prevent the impending international crisis. He then goes on for a bit about the symbol of Superman and how it belongs to the world, the "big picture", and how he doesn't want the U.S. blamed for his actions.
It is a short story written by David Goyer and I would be shocked if it's addressed again or included in continuity.
It didn't seem like that big of deal when I read it. I just wanted to assure everyone posting on here that Superman did not become a Nazi or some filthy hippy.
I second Jurman, totally.
Also, what about that Lex story, eh?
I kinda loved it, especially as a conclusion to the whole 'The Black Ring' story. Makes for AWESOME re-reading, too.
If the renouncing of Superman's citizenship kicks off a story arc where the Government doesn't allow him to operate in US borders, that could be interesting. If I am not mistaken, Clark was legally adopted in the pre crisis era, and in the Post crisis his birthing matrix hatched on Earth giving him citizenship (see the Elseworld where Supes became President.) I think my biggest issue with this is, he didn't do this when Lex was President, why would he now? Jonathan Kent is probably rolling in his grave right now…
Oh, and another thing. I have said it once and I'll say it again, if this is just a stunt because the new Superman is a Brit, I am done with David Goyer.
Made perfect sense to me.

Scouring the Norfolk coastline for flotsam, Joanna collects fishing line, netting and other unexpected items for her colourful tapestries.
I collect marine debris from the North Norfolk Coastline to include in my artwork. I am clearing the beach of material and reinventing it into colourful art objects as a means of challenging people to think about the impact of plastics in our oceans.
Scouring the Norfolk coastline for flotsam, Joanna collects fishing line, netting and other unexpected items for her colourful tapestries.Initially the weavings are striking, but on realising they are comprised completely from marine debris, their existence becomes all the more alarming.
Marine detritus is symptomatic of a growing problem and worryingly, Greenpeace reports that the quantity of small plastic fragments floating in the Pacific Ocean has increased 100 fold in just 40 years.Every tide brings with it a new collection of orphaned objects, disconnected from their origin and curated by the waves. We imagine every object's untold story – who owned them and how did they arrive on a Norfolk beach? Like those chance meetings or unexpected events deposited on the shoreline of our memory, the sea, now a soup of forgotten fragments, presents the unexpected and ignored; a second chance to be reinvented and woven into new narratives.
