Welcome to the official website of Bryan Talbot: writer and artist of comics, graphic novels and illustrations
Wednesday December 10th 2014 update:
Bryan has sent through a whole swathe of updates, so I am gonna have to rely on the ol' standby of a bullet-pointed list (sorry!)
- Metronome, Bryan's 2008 critically-aclaimed experimental graphic novel, released under the pseudonym Veronique Tanaka, is now available digitally from Sequential for only $1.99 (about £1.25)
- New Grandville interview with Teddy Jamieson of The Herald: "When you come down to it, you can't go wrong with a badger with guns."
- Joe Gordon at Forbidden Planet reviews Grandville: Noel: "as you read his books you can feel the thought and care that has gone into each panel, even slight touches added with great deftness to achieve just the effect on the reader that is required "
- Page 45 reviews Grandville: Noel: "by gum this is a clever and complex graphic novel, its subplots so intricately interwoven and the implications of its revelations even craftier than you might think."
- Matt Farr at Ramblings of the Easily Distracted reviews Grandville: Noel: "If you're already a fan of Grandville this is, I suspect already a shoe-in to buy, and is certainly a worthy addition to the series. If you're not a fan of Grandville, then go get the first one, become a fan of Grandville, and work your way to this. Go on, do it now!"
- Bookmunch reviews Grandville: Noel: "The only downside to having read the latest Grandville is that the satisfaction of reading is quickly replaced by the interminable anticipation of waiting for the next instalment"
- Comic Bastards reviews Grandville: Noel: "Grandville: Noel is a work of art. It is what comics can really achieve when they try hard enough. It works on every possible level. It is a good story, has deeper ideas while being pulpy on the surface, and works as part four in a larger series of stories while being completely accessible for a new reader. I cannot recommend this comic enough."
Wednesday November 26th 2014 update:
Grandville: Noel launch party
Grandville: Noel was officially launched at an event at the Cartoon Museum in London yesterday, and in the interests of reporting all things Talbot-related, your intrepid webmaster endured the horrors of the English trains to go down there and help launch the fourth installment of DI LeBrocks adventures!
Also there was Lee Harris, who still runs the oldest headshop in London, Alchemy on the Portobello Road, and was Bryan's first ever publisher. I love meeting Lee: his immense pride at being able to help start Bryan on his career is obvious and beautiful, and it is very cool indeed that they are still friends to this day.
There's a few more photos like these on Bryans Facebook fanpage (to be honest uploading them to the Facebook group is a quick point and click: posting them here is more labourious!) and also check out the Cartoon Museum site: definitely worth a visit if you're ever in London!
Grandville: Noel is on sale now from Amazon UK or Amazon US.
Also released today is Arkwright Integral: the best ever quality reprinting of the whole of the Adventures of Luther Arkwright and the sequel: Heart of Empire. Get Arkwright Integral from Amazon UKor Amazon in the US.
Also, Metronome, Bryan's 2008 crtiticall-aclaimed experimental graphic novel, released under the pseudonym Veronique Tanaka, is now available digitally from Sequential for only $1.99 (about £1.25)
Monday November 24th 2014 update: check out Wayne's Comics Podcast with an outstanding interview with Bryan.
Wednesday November 19th 2014 update:

Monday November 10th 2014 update: On the 23rd October, Bryan, Mary and Kate Charlesworth were guests of the Chester Literary Festival. Here's a photo of them being interviewed on stage at the town hall by culture and arts commentator Mark Lawson (an aficionado of Dotter of Her Father's Eyes and Alice in Sunderland).
After the event was the usual signing session.
Oh - and did we mention that Grandville: Noel is released on November 27th in the UK and on November 18th in the US? - buy it now from from Amazon UK or Amazon US
Saturday October 25th 2014 update:
Lots of news snippets to publish today!
- Bryan is a trustee of the new Comics Literacy Awareness charity
- Jonathan Cape Graphic Novel night in Bristol: with Bryan and Mary Talbot, Isabel Greenberg, Fumio Obata, Nick Hayes, Steve Bell, Friday 14 November 2014, 18.00-21.15 (with breaks and signings) Watershed, Bristol; see the Festival of Ideas site for more info
- Also on this page for your viewing pleasure are some photos of more badgers spotted in and around the Lakes International Comics fest in Kendal!
- Have a look at what Jess Haigh had to say about Bryan and Mary at the Ilkley Festival: "Bryan Talbot was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of comics and graphic novels, he made me want to find the 80s classics of Watchmen and V for Vendetta."
- Also what JY Savile had to say about the same event: "It was fascinating to hear how Mary had approached writing the script in a similar way to her previous (academic) writing, with meticulous research which both Bryan and Kate continued to ensure their depiction of accurate visuals, from architecture and dress to railway posters and newspapers."
- Henry Jenkins did a fantastically detailed - and just plain fantastic - review of the Graphic Novel Man DVD documentary about Bryan: "The Graphic Novel Man, which was released this summer, similarly, brings a smile to my face because it captures some much of what makes Talbot a wonderful, charming man and a risk-taking artist who is continuing to push himself and his medium to the breaking point."
Sunday October 12th 2014 update

Monday September 29th 2014 update: Running this site to publicise Bryan's work is quite obviously a huge passion of mine... - the site has been online and up to date since 1996 after all!
So it does my heart proud to not only see an article like this - This Is Bryan Talbot's World, We're Just Lucky Enough To Live In It from the quite consistently excellent Bleeding Cool site - but for Bryan to call it to my attention and note that he's not been interviewed by them directly: nope: they must've pulled all of the necessary details from right here on this very fanpage...
See that? - that's the kind of words a fanpage webmaster lives for!
Anyway: enough of my wittering: go check out the Bleeding Cool article: it's bostin'!
Saturday September 20th 2014 update:

Bryan is coming to my hometown of Birmingham as one of the guest speakers at Comics Uncovered on Saturday August 2nd! - it's an event for aspiring comics writers with tickets only available in advance - and it looks very good indeed!
Sunday July 20th 2014 update:
And in a mad attempt to top yesterdays news that Bryan has now finished all work on Grandville: Noel and it will be published in November this year!- here is page 2 of Grandville: Noel published for the first time in a world exclusive!
We decided to publish one page per month as a way of promoting the comic and introducing it to new people: it seems to be a standard way to increase awareness of comics and books - and all of the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive!
I'm also putting page 1 up again so that you can see them in the correct order.
Do you think the fact that the Graphic Novel Man - the DVD documentary about Bryan and his work - is getting so many glowing reviews might be because it's so damn good?!
Running Bryan's fanpage I got to see it early in production and it is just amazing: the amount of world renowned comic writers and artists that step up and acknowledge their debt to Bryan is frankly astonishing: if you're a fan of Bryan's you should be getting this DVD!
And the image to the right is also a glowing review of the DVD from the people at Comics Heroes.
Saturday July 19th 2014 update:
Check out this this excellent review of the DVD documentary "Graphic Novel Man" about Bryan and his work by Need to Consume: "It's fascinating to hear people speak of Talbot's work and how moved they are by his talent. The documentary gives the viewer access to so many well respected writers, artists and publishers views, something that wouldn't be easily accessible in such volume anywhere else."
The new city square in Sunderland is currently under construction - see the Sunderland Echo news item - and Bryan has designed the "Keel Line" series of 437 flags, some 230 metres long, listing the names of ships built on the River Wear and telling the history of the city in illustrations. As an exclusive for the site, here are a couple of photos of some of the completed sandblasted flags.
Friday 18th July 2014 update:

Announcing: Hoax Psychosis Blues
Also announcing: Hoax Psychosis Blues - the new graphic novel from Ravi Thornton, with contributions from Bryan Talbot, Hannah Berry, Rian Hughes, Karrie Fransman and more.
Can a potent chemistry of poetry, comics and performance finally be the perfect way to describe the realities of schizophrenia?
This is the question cross-media scriptwriter Ravi Thornton sets out to answer in her latest multi-collaborative project Hoax, comprising graphic novel memoir Hoax Psychosis Blues, and raw dark musical Hoax My Lonely Heart. The project is based on a poem written by Ravi Thornton's younger brother, Rob, who committed suicide in 2008 at the age of 31, after a long battle with schizophrenia.
Both musical and graphic novel are written by Ravi Thornton. The musical, which unfolds a painful love story in the six months prior to Rob's diagnosis as schizophrenic, premieres at The Royal Exchange Theatre Manchester, 4th to 7th June 2014. The graphic novel, which charts Rob's further facts, fictions and altered realities over the nine years after his diagnosis through to his death, is available for pre-order now at www.ziggyswish.com. Limited First Edition of 1000 copies only, all hand-numbered and signed by the author.

- Which comics festival is he one of the founding patrons of?
Email firstname.lastname@example.com with your answers. The winners will be announced here and on the Digital Story Engine site when the DVD is released on 12th May 2014 and the competition closes on Friday April 25th.
Thursday April 3rd 2014 update:
Annoucing: Arkwright Integral!
At last, a high quality ultimate A4 size hardback edition of the first flagship British Graphic Novel, together with the full colour sequel, Heart of Empire!
Coming in October from Dark Horse Comics, at 556 pages, this will retail at $59.99, around £36. Here's the publicity blurb:
"In a swirling multiverse of endless possibilities and incalculable dangers, malign forces manipulate history through countless timelines and act to wreak destruction across universes. But amongst these infinite existences, their fate depends on one man, an anomaly who exists in but a single universe, a being of vast psychic power capable of travelling between parallel realities - Luther Arkwright!
An adult science-fiction epic of boundless imagination and audacious vision, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright and Heart of Empire are brought together for the first time in one essential hardcover volume, with an introduction by Michael Moorcock, afterword by Warren Ellis and a 10-page Luther Arkwright interview with Steve Bissette. Plus a large gallery of Arkwright illustrations and book covers by Bryan and other artists, including Dave Gibbons, Glenn Fabry and Hunt Emerson, and a Heart of Empire back cover gallery. "
On a personal note - this looks STUNNING! - I can't wait to get my copy! - and I hope this answers the questions of the many, many fans who have got in touch with me over the years asking when the Ultimate Edition of Arkwright will be out: sorry I couldn't say anything sooner: when you agree to become a webmaster for a Comics Legend like Bryan there's this oath of secrecy you have to sign!
Wednesday March 26th 2014 update: there are days when being Bryan's webmaster is one of the Best Things In The World - EVER. OK - that's probably every day when I get to say "I'm Bryan Talbots fanpage webmaster y'know!" - but there are some days that are even better than that.
Like today: after one of those days at the Day Job - you know the kind? - I get home and what is waiting for me? - nothing less than my review copy of Sally Heathcote: Suffraggette! - sent to me because Bryan said to his publishers "please add James to the list of people on the review copy list!"
Until you've been a starving fanboy and had to make the decision betwen eating and buying a comic, you have got no idea how good this makes me feel!*
And the fact that the graphic novel is just amazing just adds to it off course! Bryan has asked me to say no more and hold off on reviewing it here on the site until all of the review copies have been sent out and everyone has had a chance to write them, so I will hang back until the embargo is lifted: all I will say is - I think the Talbots should expect some more literary awards after this...
* and of course buying a comic won out over eating! - a comic lasts for ever: hunger goes away... - eventually...
Check out this fine review of the exhibition of the Art of Bryan Talbot by the excellent people at Forbidden Planet: "Bryan Talbot's comics are an incredible pleasure to read and enjoy at any time, so the opportunity of seeing some of his original artwork, up close, while taking in a career of nearly forty years is highly exciting."
The exhibition is at The Muse at 269, 269 Portobello Road, London W11 1LR, www.themuseat269.com from 20th March until 13th April, 12 to 6pm Thursday to Sunday.
Also new today are some photos sent by Bryan: Seen at The Newcastle Film and Comic Convention in March: Detective Inspector LeBrock, Billie (a different one from the Billie who turned up at the Lakes Festival - is this a trend?) and the costume contest-winning Kaya Smith as Legolas. Kaya is Jordan Smith's daughter and posed for the cover of Alice in Sunderland 8 years ago.

REWARD! Have you seen this stolen Luther Arkwright page?
About 20 years ago, this celebrated page from The Adventures of Luther Arkwright was stolen while on loan for an exhibition. In all that time it's not resurfaced for sale. It may well be hanging on someone's wall, so we're asking if anyone has spotted it in all this time.
If you have, please email the site with the details. A £100 reward will be given if the information leads to its safe recovery.
Sunday February 9th 2014 update: Bryan just asked me to announce the 24 Hour Comic Marathon at the next Lakes International Comics Festival!
On Thursday the 16th October 2014, as part of the Lakes International Comic Art Festival, six comic artists will enter a room and draw comics non stop for 24 hours.
The 24 Hour Comics challenge was devised by Scott McCloud in 1990 and thousands of artists have risen to this challenge since. The usual format for a 24 hour comic is to disallow planning and preparation beforehand. Some variations include constraints announced at the commencement of the 24 hours to make planing ahead futile. We are going to do this differently. Planning and preparation is not only allowed, but encouraged because we want to be able to tell the very best stories with the short time we have.
More info and a list of all the creators involved over at the Lakes International Comics festival site.
Friday January 31st 2014 update: I just transferred a lot of older updates from here on the homepage over to the "old news and announcements" page.
Saturday January 25th update:
Some news snippets from the inimitable Mr Talbot:
Bryan is the guest of Honour at the Swedish Furrycon, Nordic Fuzzcon, 27 February - 2nd March. Apparently the Swedish furries are huge Grandville fans and this year's theme is "Steampunk Murder Mystery", so Bryan is an obvious choice.
The Talbots in Geordieland: Bryan and Mary Talbot are guests at the Newcastle Film and Comic Convention, 8th and 9th March
The Brainstorm Exhibition comes to London: Most of the exhibition held in Kendal last Octocber will be shown at The Muse Gallery, 269 Portobello Road , 20th March - 13th April
Thursday January 23rd 2014 update: Bryan has a large interview in the current edition of the Sci-Fi Now magazine: still on sale now!
Sunday January 12th 2014 update: Important news about the next Lakes International Comics festival: if you are a creator, publisher or retailer, the Comic Clock Tower, our version of a comics marketplace and artists' alley, is now open for applications. From this year, entry to the clocktower will be free and open to members of the public.
Saturday January 11th 2014 update:
The Badger is back!
With his trusty adjunct, Detective Sergeant Ratzi, away for Christmas, there's no holiday for Detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard as he embarks on an investigation into the disappearance of his housekeeper's niece, Bunty Spall.
The trail leads to a growing religious cult, where a charismatic unicorn messiah and his con men cronies, already responsible for mass murder in the United States, are about to lead a crusade for the ethnic cleansing of the French Empire's doughfaces - the derogatory nickname for humans used by the majority, animal-headed population. Teaming up with Chance Lucas, a gun-slinging operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, and reigniting his steamy love affair with the voluptuous Parisian badger prostitute Billie, LeBrock clashes with both cult fanatics and doughface terrorists, uncovering in the process a centuries-old religious conspiracy that threatens to plunge the world into bloody civil war.
Grandville: Noël signals the welcome return to anthropomorphic steampunk detective fiction of master comics storyteller, graphic novel pioneer and Costa award-winner Bryan Talbot, with the fourth stand-alone volume of the Eisner and Hugo Award-nominated Grandville series. Containing its trademark fast-paced blend of deduction, humour, artistic pastiche and explosive edge-of-the-seat action, Grandville Noël dramatically raises the bar for the whole series.
With Paris in the grip of the mysterious crime lord, Tiberius Koenig, and an increasingly violent backlash by human extremists, can LeBrock stop the seemingly inevitable slide into fascism? What is the secret of the legendary True Gospels? Can he rescue Bunty Spall from the clutches of the strangely hypnotic unicorn named Apollo? But does Bunty want to be saved? And will LeBrock be back in time for Christmas dinner? No badger does it better!
Grandville: Noël will be published in November 2014

The Graphic Novel Man: the Comics of Bryan Talbot is the much anticipated DVD release produced by Digital Story Engine. The DVD features:
The Graphic Novel Man traces not only the life and career of the great artist/writer, but explores the talent and passion that have made Bryan Talbot one of the world's most influential comic creators.
Bryan Talbot emerged in the mid-70s as a major force in British Underground Comix scene with The Adventures of Luther Arkwright - the first UK graphic novel. His work on Batman, 2000AD, Sandman and Hellblazer, laid the creative foundations for his groundbreaking The Tale of One Bad Rat and the 'dream documentary' Alice in Sunderland.
Bryan's innovative collaboration with his wife Mary Talbot, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes won the 2013 Costa Biography Award. His maverick approach to expanding the boundaries of sequential storytelling continues in the best selling Grandville series of anthropomorphic Steam Punk detective thrillers – hailed as Rupert the Bear meets Quentin Tarantino!
Writing pictures and drawing words focuses on Bryan's unique approach to creating comics. The essential comic crafts of Scripting, Layout, Pencilling, Inking, Colouring and Lettering are all discussed and lavishly illustrated in the context of Bryan's career spanning multi-award winning comics and graphic novels with additional expert contributions from other best selling comic artists and writers. .
Grandville: Bete Noire: the evolution of page 94: commentary by Bryan Talbot.
On the 18th of May 2012, Bryan Talbot invited Digital Story Engine to record him at work in his studio. Over the next three days, DSE documented the Pencilling and Inking stages of page 94 of Grandville: Bete Noire - the third volume in the Eisner and Hugo award nominated Grandville series.
Teaser trailer out in February!
Friday January 3rd 2014 update: First of all, the obligatory "Holy cow! - another year of running this fanpage!" - hard to believe it has now been online for 18 years!
Breaking news on the publishing schedules and all other projects:
- Bryan has been commissioned by Sunderland City Council to draw the "Keel Line" in the city's brand new city-center square:
"At 291m the line represents the full length of the Naess Crusader, which is the longest ship ever built in Sunderland. It launched from the James Laing shipyard on December 21, 1972.
The length of the line will include the names of up to 9,000 of the most significant ships built in Sunderland's shipyards dating back to the early 19th Century.
Artist Bryan Talbot, author of the graphic novel Alice in Sunderland, has been contracted to design how the names of the ships are presented and the illustrations that will run the length of line.
Bryan said today: "I have never done anything like this before, so it's very exciting.
"The shipbuilding theme will be represented throughout the line."
Bryan said to me: "I've nearly finished all the illustrations, which are going to be sandblasted into granite paving stones for the Keel Line."
More info at the Sunderland Echo site.
- Grandville: Noel is due out in November 2014
- Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is due in May 2014
- And I've just contacted the Arkwright RPG publishers for an update as to when it will be out: will post here as soon as I get it.
- And news on the Luther Arkwright TV series / film: For over a year a British director, and Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free, have been trying to get a Game of Thrones style TV series of Arkwright off the ground. Ultimately nothing came of it, due to a change of editorial direction of the broadcaster they were dealing with. So the option for Arkwright is now with Hollywood production company Benderspink, who have 3 months to try and raise interest to get a series or a feature off the ground....
BUT - Bryan also says: "Don't get your hopes up! This has been going on for years."
Also: check out the latest addition to the Bryan Talbot online artwork sale: Nemesis the Warlock in one of the old 2000ad Diceman adventures.
Monday December 30th 2013 update: Sorry updates have been a bit sparse - a combination of Day Job overload and then Christmas off with the family: you know how it is! - "all" I need to do in 2014 is work out a way to make running this site pay me a full time salary and then you will get hourly updates!
Anyway: to business: Talbot related updates and news!
- Bryan sent me through a link to a huge stash of top-notch photos from the recent Lakes International Comics fest.
- Bryan will be Guest of Honour at the Nordic Fuzz Con, 27th February - 2nd March, 2014 Stockholm, Sweden
- There is still time to vote for the Lakes International Comiccs Festival as the best fest of the year! (Bryan is a founding member of the festival and obviously we both think it was the best fest of the year! - but we hope you do too, and if you could vote for it that'd be grand!)
- The nice people over at Comic Squee go "Squee!" over Grandville! - an emotion I can 100% identify with!
- The Naked Artist by Bryan Talbot is now available on Kindle!
If on the night of a comics convention you were to go to the the hotel bar and buy a few drinks for a comic book pro, you'd soon hear stories about his fellow creators - tales of drinking and drugs, of missed deadlines and missing pants, of maniacal editors and crazed fans. These are the urban legends of the comic industry.
Saturday November 30th 2013 update:
Bubu the Murderous Monkey
The first set of this webcomic, written by Hannah and Berkman, and drawn by Bryan's son Alwyn Talbot is now online.
Getxo Comics Festival
Read Mary's blog on the Talbot's visit to Spain at her site.

Get into the Christmas spirit in Cape TownIn case you're not yet feeling the Christmas spirit, here are some ways to get the festive feeling.
Your #lovecapetown weekend: What's on from Thursday 18 December to Sunday 21 December, 2014
Rob PetersAnother big weekend in the Mother City with some big dance events and plenty of market shopping on the agenda. Looking for something to do? Well look no further than this handy guide!
Tips to have a seamless summer in Cape Town
Rob PetersIf you're coming to Cape Town this summer and are not quite sure what to expect, we have a handy guide to help you enjoy your holiday without any snags, hitches or hiccups. From getting around the Mother City to predicting the weather, we want you to leave wanting to come back for more.
Life is 'Kwak' in the Mother City"We will need your left shoe please sir, we can't have you running off with our glass…" And with that begins my Kwak Beer Experience at Den Anker at the V&A Waterfront. The relinquishing of my left shoe dates back to a tradition which began in 19th Century Belgium. If I want to drink the beer, I need to forfeit my left shoe… for a time at least. The tradition started because the glasses were extremely expensive and difficult to replace at the time. It sparked a Belgian custom in which the barman kept the left shoe of patrons until the glass had been returned.

Kayli Vee Levitan's best tea spots in Cape Town
Taking time out for yourself in Cape Town can take many forms. You can take a walk on the beach, enjoy a spa treatment, tuck into gourmet food and wine or sip on a perfect brew with a few sweet treats to delight you at high tea. Often the perfect way to catch up with friends or loved ones, high tea not only offers an afternoon of exciting new teas and treats that delight the eyes and palate, you can also enjoy all of this while admiring the splendour of your surroundings. I sampled a few high teas on offer around the city and found a few gems.

For DRW, Coach Insignia is offering a three course meal for $30 a person. You have your choice of appetizers, main course as well as dessert. A steal for what you're actually getting. Knowing that the menu was already set, I did go in with a curve ball - I requested my meal to be gluten free. Not only did Coach Insignia accommodate, but I found some surprising items on their menu that gluten free which is usually not the case - anywhere else.
For my dinner I started with the Coach Signature Caesar Salad, which I don't usually order due to the croutons. But at Coach Insignia uses a gluten free crouton on all of their Caesar salads, which not only taste delicious but are buttery and crunchy. They changed the sauce for me on the Petit Fillet to make sure it was gluten free, brought me gluten free bread and even changed my dessert to the sorbet (not on DRW menu) to accommodate. The meal was delicious and well worth the money.
After our delicious meal we took some time to walk around both the 72nd and 71st floor to take in both the views of Canada and downtown Detroit. As the sun set the view was spectacular, and a great way to end our meal and evening.

Let's get inky!
Emerging Printmaking program, Variety of presses to suit every printmaking process. Located: 117 W. Main St. || St. Charles, Courtyard Entrance.
What is the Access Program?
A core part of the Water Street Studios mission is to provide artists with affordable space in which they can create and collaborate. The Access Program makes professional equipment in the media of print, ceramics and metal work available to artists to learn, create and collaborate. The Access Program is perfect for advanced hobbiest who want to take their art to the next level as well as students who need an inspiring environment to learn on their own. These include students from regional high schools, universities as well as the WSS School of Art.
How it Works:
Lab members have independent access to the studio during regular gallery hours or when scheduling with the respective Access Manager. Access Members will also be allocated space within the working space to store materials or pieces in progress.
Prior to access, we ask our Members to demonstrate sufficient knowledge with the equipment they are using or to have taken one of our classes in the respective media. The studio space is a place to experiment, learn, grow and share. This happens best when the space is maintained, clean and well cared for. All Access members will be expected to work together to maintain the spaces, respect the equipment and properly clean and store tooling.
Contract Options:
It is the goal of the Access Program to make these creative spaces available to artists on flexible schedules and terms. To achieve this, we offer a variety of membership packages for each Access Program. The use of some materials/consumables is included in the fees of each respective Access Program. Please reference the contract for further details.

The ADG428 is a monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer comprising eight single channels. On-chip address and control latches facilitate microprocessor interfacing. The ADG428 switches one of eight inputs to a common output as determined by the 3-bit binary address lines A0, A1 and A2. An EN input on both devices is used to enable or disable the device. When disabled, all channels are switched OFF. All the control inputs, address and enable inputs are TTL compatible over the fully specified operating temperature range. This makes the part suitable for bus-controlled systems such as data acquisition systems, process controls, avionics and ATEs because the TTL compatible address latches simplify the digital interface design and reduce the board space required.

Where/Who do you turn to for advice when buying scrubs?
- 0Oct 30, '13 by Mar1234I will be a new nursing student very soon and I was wondering where Nurses go to seek advice on where to buy their scrubs? Do you chat with fellow nurses, read blogs, magazines, etc.? Do you end up wearing the same brand the school provided to you? Or go to stores? Online?
- 0Nov 3, '13 by babyraneeIf you order online, you will not have the advantage of trying it on prior to purchase. I attempted once to order online.. even used the measurement chart they provided and the top was way too big. If i see a co-worker with some really cute scrubs, i always ask where they got them. They may shop at a store I have never heard of.
There are so many variations in scrubs that really the ones you buy are going to be a personal choice. I particularly like the low rise flair pants that I find at my local wal - mart ( I know!!! Really!! lol). they are not the best quality and none of my coworkers like them but for me, they are great. I think you should def just start looking at stores and trying on different brands, styles, etc ... see what you like.
- 0Nov 8, '13 by applesxoranges, ADN, BSN, RN, EMT-PI ask coworkers. I prefer to be slightly different though.
- 0Nov 9, '13 by Altra GuideIn time you will probably develop some pretty specific preferences based on your personal work habits & environment. You'll know what fabrics work for you, where you prefer pockets, whether or not you tend to wear layers, etc. Lots of great catalogs out there, with a much larger selection than what you typically see at Life Uniform or other chain retailers.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Scott, Margaret M firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-11132006-180801 Document Title The efficacy of holistic learning strategies in the development of church leaders in Mozambique : an action research approach Degree PhD (Curriculum Studies) Department Curriculum Studies Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr P H du Toit Keywords
- brain-based learning
- Participatory Action Research
- whole-brain learning
Date 2006-09-07 Availability unrestricted Abstract
This Participatory Action Research (PAR) project focused on "holistic learning" which includes "social" and "spiritual" learning and "whole-brained" learning. Broadly interpreting and applying the four-quadrant brain model of Herrmann (1994), and other models of the brain, my study seeks to understand whether, to what extent and how learning can be advanced by deliberately employing holistic learning strategies to narrow the gap between theory and practice, between left-brain and right-brain learning, and between cognition and emotion. I introduced tri-dimensional (3-D) practice as the combination of using holistic learning strategies in cooperative learning groups within spiritual learning environments.
The site of this PAR study was the network of cooperative learning groups in Mozambique within the educational system of the Church of the Nazarene. Facilitators were trained to use six specific "holistic learning strategies": group discussions of various types, praxis (as reflection-dialogue-action), teamwork, rehearsing integrity, singing-for-learning and classical spiritual disciplines within cooperative learning groups, also a holistic learning strategy. These aspects are typical of the widely used model of Theological Education by Extension (TEE), refined in this study. According to data gathered in a large hybrid survey, 97% of the 595 respondents to this question responded favourably in terms of the skills of these facilitators even though the average number of years of their formal schooling, 7.7, would normally be considered "minimal".
The study generates findings to support the position that holistic learning strategies enhance the quality of adult learning, at least in settings like those in Mozambique in which the facilitation of learning was 1) bilingual (Portuguese and maternal language), 2) focused on learners who are leaders-in-training, 3) deliberate in spiritual content and ambient, and 4) conducted by minimally-schooled facilitators in cooperative learning groups. The findings, from the responses recorded in qualitative phases of the research, corroborated by descriptive statistics, indicate that the efficacy of holistic learning strategies is related to certain modes of mental activity like whole-making, categorising, and others.
This PAR project was conducted within an original research framework, Arboric Research, which takes into account the dynamic, fluid and organic nature of human systems, recognising that infrastructures in which the research takes place are different at the end of the study than at the beginning, like observing the "sap" within a growing grapevine or a tree.

Rihanna Makes London Fashion Week Debut
Rihanna is known for her trendsetting fashion, and now you too can own a piece of it. The pop star debuted her first fashion collection, Rihanna for River Island, during London Fashion Week on Saturday. After kicking off the show an hour late, models strut down the runway to Memphis Bleek's "Do My…," A$AP Rocky's "Fuckin' Problems," and RiRi's own, "Phresh Out the Runway."
Wearing a black dress from her line, the fashion darling took a bow during the finale as the crowd cheered her on.
In an interview with Elle, RiRi explained that her goal was "to design for all body shapes and when women have a fat day and want to hide bits of their bodies."
Following the show, she hit up the after party with model Cara Delevingne and her BFF Melissa. "And just like that these bitches is my sons #RihannaForRiverIsland #LONDONfashionweek," tweeted RiRi.
Rihanna for River Island will be available in select River Island stores and online on March 5. Watch the runway show below.

|Ectopic beat
|Classification and external resources
|Ectopic beat
|Classification and external resources
Ectopic beat (or cardiac ectopy) is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fiber or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation (i.e., the sinoatrial node). Depending upon the origins of the ectopic beat within the myocardium, an ectopic beat can be further classified as either:
Some patients describe this experience as a 'flip' or a 'jolt' in the chest, while others report dropped or missed beats. Such extrasystoles are more common during periods of stress or debility; they may also be triggered by consumption of some food like alcohol, strong cheese, or chocolate.
It is a form of cardiac arrhythmia in which ectopic foci within either ventricular or atrial myocardium, or from finer branches of the electric transduction system, cause additional beats of the heart. Some medications may worsen the phenomenon.

San Antonio, Texas - Hoofing it back to the skeet fields at the NSSA-NSCA National Shooting Complex, hundreds of collegiate shooters with shotguns and dreams welcome the day's American Skeet Championships.
Developed as a method of perfecting wing-shooting skills for bird hunting, skeet quickly grew into a competitive sport of its own. Its practically the same competition as International Skeet. The primary differences is that American Skeet is a little easier and tends to produce higher scores.
San Antonio, Texas - Yesterday's mens and ladies International Skeet finals began as natural light began to fade at the NSSA-NSCA National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.
One by one, the top six men and women from the day's match were called to settle 2013's individual titles. A final round of skeet and shotgun. Well... unless there was a tie.

Mancuso résumé lacks experience of most US college leadersJuly 19th, 2013 at 1:11 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes
By Dan McGowan
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Gov. Lincoln Chafee's controversial nominee to oversee Rhode Island's public colleges is defending her qualifications for the high-profile job despite lacking the same background in education as most of her would-be peers nationally.
A WPRI.com analysis of the résumés of every higher education commissioner – or equivalent official – across the country shows the majority of officials at the helm in their respective states have spent most of their careers in the education field.

Morse: Why arming RI campus police shouldn't be a tabooMay 30th, 2013 at 5:00 am by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes, On the Main Site
By Carroll Andrew Morse
The question of whether to arm campus police officers at Rhode Island's public colleges and universities, though seemingly a minor chapter in the overall debate about firearms in America, offers unique insight into why issues surrounding guns are so contentious. To quote Dan Kahan, Donald Braman and John Gastil – a trio of professors involved with Yale Law School's Cultural Cognition Project who have studied how gun matters are contested in public – the debate is intense because the issues at stake are as broad as "preferred ways of organizing, perceiving and justifying social relations."
The view of Kahan and his colleagues has its roots in cultural anthropology (*), specifically in work started in the latter half of the twentieth century by the British anthropologist Mary Douglas. Douglas sought to identify common principles that could be applied to the analysis of any human society, "primitive" or "modern." Amongst the concepts she found to be fundamental were that all societies relied on symbols and taboos for communicating intangible ideas to one another, implying that the study of ideas could not be fully separated from the study of their symbolic representations; and that humans everywhere focused on "on moral and political weaknesses they expect will escalate the damage" from dangers they faced, as much as they focused on dangers themselves, causing public debates about potential threats to "link some real danger to some disapproved behavior."
Real dangers and disapproved behaviors, and moral and political weaknesses are certainly all factors in the debate over arming campus police officers – which is another way of saying that what guns symbolize in this debate is as important as guns themselves.

Student fees at URI soared 140% in 10 years; state aid fell 31%March 18th, 2013 at 2:57 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes, On the Main Site
An announcement this morning was probably welcome news for students at the University of Rhode Island: the college is freezing tuition for the 2013-14 school year, keeping the cost at $10,878 for in-state residents and $26,444 for out-of-staters. The decision is a victory for Governor Chafee, who's proposed a $6 million increase in funding for state colleges but asked their presidents to freeze tuition as the quid pro quo.
URI's financial documents show the school is taking much more money from students than it was a decade ago – $140 million more annually as of 2012. State lawmakers often get blamed for that, which has some validity: the state's appropriation to URI has dropped by $26 million over the same period. Put another way, taxpayer dollars matched 84% of URI's net student fees in 2002 but only 24% in 2012. Here's a chart:
That said, it's not an open-and-shut case that the General Assembly is totally to blame for the skyrocketing cost of attending URI – the increase in net student fees is more than five times larger than the decrease in the state appropriation, and the largest year-over-year hike was actually back in 2004, when net revenue from student fees jumped 17% even as the taxpayer subsidy stayed basically flat.
Update: A reader points out that the direct state appropriation to URI doesn't reflect the university's entire taxpayer subsidy because it excludes Rhode Island Capital Plan Funds and state-contributed capital. With those included, the state's total appropriation to URI fell from $108 million in 2002 to $93 million in 2012, for a smaller cut of 14%, according to the school's annual audits.

Former Congressman Bob Weygand mulling run for governorJanuary 29th, 2013 at 12:40 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes, On the Main Site
You can add former Congressman Bob Weygand to the list of Rhode Island Democrats who may run for governor next year.
Weygand, who represented the 2nd Congressional District from 1997 to 2001, confirmed Tuesday that multiple people have approached him to suggest he should jump into the 2014 race, and said it's "very flattering."
"I think anybody who's been in office often thinks about whether they should run again, and so to answer your question very candidly, of course I would love to consider serving in a public sector role in some way," Weygand, 64, told WPRI.com.
The biggest question may be whether Weygand could raise enough money to compete; he estimated a candidate would need at least $3 million to be viable. "Any legitimate candidate has to be able to put the finances behind it," he said. "That's certainly a big consideration." Weygand's campaign account is currently empty and inactive.

RI public colleges have second-fewest state residents enrolledOctober 20th, 2011 at 6:00 am by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes
Less than half the students at Rhode Island's state schools are from Rhode Island – and the reason has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
Only 44% of freshmen enrolled at Rhode Island's public institutions of higher eduction were from in state while 56% are from elsewhere in 2008, according to federal data analyzed by The Wall Street Journal. The figures show 7,244 freshmen at URI, RIC and CCRI were Rhode Island residents while 9,299 migrated from out of state.
Rhode Island was one of only two states in the country where out-of-state freshmen outnumbered in-staters. The other was Vermont, where just 33% of public-college students were in-state residents. The national average is 80%.
"[I]n an era of state budget deficits, out-of-state students are becoming a hot commodity, because they typically pay tuition rates two to three times higher than in-state residents," the paper explained. "Making the out-of-state student all the more attractive is a declining number of home-grown high-school graduates in many states."
At the University of Rhode Island, state residents pay less than half as much as their classmates from other places: tuition and fees cost $12,658 for Rhode Island residents but $28,746 for out-of-state residents.
URI, RWU grad running for mayor of New LondonJanuary 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 am by Ted Nesi under General Talk
A 34-year-old lawyer who went to Westerly High School, URI and Roger William School of Law has set his sights on becoming the first elected mayor of New London, Conn., in decades, The Day reports:
A political newcomer who wants to be the city's first elected mayor is seeking the support of residents and the Democratic Town Committee.
Daryl Finizio, 34, who bought a house on Ocean Avenue in June, plans to announce his candidacy at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Crocker House Ballroom, 180 State St. He will discuss his platform for the city, which he calls "A Vision for New London." Copies of the 40-page document, in English and Spanish, will be available. …
While at URI he was elected president of the student senate and was appointed by Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln C. Almond to serve on the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education.
He has a law office at his Ocean Avenue home and is a member of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar Association, the Connecticut and Rhode Island bars and the bars for U.S. District Court for Rhode Island and Connecticut.
New London – the 17th-largest city in Connecticut – is holding its first election for mayor since the 1920s this year. Residents there voted in November to switch their municipal government from a city manager to a mayoral system.

If you like being able to track the packages you ship through companies like FedEx(R) or UPS(R), you'll like hearing about this new service from the US Postal Service…
Example of IM barcode (courtesy Wikimedia)
The USPS IM barcode is an Intelligent Mail barcode that can provide you tracking details of the mail you send. Similar to the barcode already used on most US mail, the USPS IM barcode is 65 vertical bars that encodes 31 digits of data for USPS scanners.
Based on the 31 digits, the USPS will be able to know: the type of service for the item (1st class, 3rd class, etc), the identity of the sender, a sequence number and the Zip Code of the delivery point.
The sequence number is what's really interesting. This is assigned to the sender; it identifies the mailing piece from the thousands the sender might be mailing.
So now a mailer will be able to know when (and if) their mailing piece made it to the doorstep. Before, it was a matter of faith.
Also, by confirming delivery, mailers will be able to update their mailing lists for future mailings.
And marketers will have end-to-end tracking of their campaigns, just like they do with email campaigns! It's nirvana for those using analytics.
The new Intelligent Mail service will start this May. Mailers will need to use the IM barcode to qualify for automation prices.
Postcard magnets mailed by magnetbyMail will be processed using the new Intelligent Mail service, at no additional charge.
The fine line between the Internet and old-fashioned marketing just disappeared.
From your friends at magnetbyMail .
Yes, the US Post Office can deliver our magnet mailer through their system without a problem. The magnet stays securely attached to the postcard based on our spot glue process.
The USPS processes our custom printed postcard magnets as machinable, non-automated mail. Among other things, this means if you'd like to have your magnet mailers sent via first class, the postage rate would be based on the 1 oz. letter rate (not the the postcard rate), plus a charge for special handling (currently $.20ea).
The USPS offers discounted rates for properly prepared bulk mail. Based on these current rates, here are our current postage prices, if you'd like us to do the mailing [updated 1/27/2013] (subject to change without notice):
If we will be mailing your items, please complete and fax to us a Bulk Mail Form and USPS NCOA Processing Acknowledgement Form — both forms are in the Templates file found on the webpage for each item on our magnetbyMail website. You can choose to use our indicia on the mailing piece (and pay us postage cost), or use your indicia, if it is the type that can be used at any US Post Office (not all are). If using our Indicia, prepare your art layout leaving the appropriate space for us to add the correct Indicia box and text. Note our Mailing List details (also on our website) when preparing your mailing list for us.
Of course, if you want us to ship all the postcard mailers to you, so you can distribute, we can do that, too. In this case there would be shipping charge for UPS delivery.
Everything you ever wanted to know about mailing postcard magnets is on our website.
And you can always call us. We'd love to hear from you!
The Internet has had a huge impact on the US Post Office. You probably aren't surprised to hear that.
Instead of catalogs, companies are focused on improving their websites.
Instead of mailing letters, people simply send an email.
And all that is good news for you if you're marketing with Direct Mail:
First of all, your recipients are more likely to see your mail simply because the pile is much smaller.
And secondly, recipients are more likely to be favorable to Direct Mail ad mail, and even look forward to receiving it, because mail levels are now so low.
So next time you hear that people are mailing less and less, put on your marketing hat and smile.
Just a thought from magnetbyMail.com, home of custom imprinted postcard magnets.
