Hi! Using Version HMS Testimonials 2.0.7. I want to limit the characters for a testimonial in the sidebar (to 100 characters) using the rotator capability and have all the text display on a testimonial page non-rotating.
I saw that you suggested adding limit=50 to the shortcode in another past. I did this with the following code, but it showed all text.[hms_testimonials_rotating template="13" order="display_order" limit="100"]. I also tried limit=100 without the quotes. It didn't work.
Here is the link to the page which demonstrates the issue (scroll down to see testimonials on the right sidebar above the Read More)... Link to page.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks! skippywp

Makes you wonder what else is in our food!
I love the Jamie Oliver and his show the Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, he is passionate about changing the food that is served to children at lunch and what we eat at restaurants. I came across this video and article on the internet and was disgusted with what I was reading.
McDonald's just announced that they will no longer us ammonium hydroxide as a processor in their US beef, the company that produces Beef for McDonald's explained that they use ammonium hydroxide to eliminate potential bacteria, such as E.coil.
In an episode of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, he says parts of the cow that are "not fit for human consumption†because of too much bacteria are processed with ammonium hydroxide for humans to eat.
"Basically, we're taking a product that would be sold at the cheapest form for dogs and after this process we can give it to humans,†Oliver said in that same episode.
A microbiologist from the U.S. Department of Agriculture believes that ammonium hydroxide should be banned.
A spokesperson for McDonald's Canada said that ammonium hydroxide is not used and that the only ingredients used in their burgers are 100% beef, salt and pepper.
To learn more about what we are eating and feeding to our families, please watch this video! It will change the way you think about food.

As of Friday, November 1st, shale gas from the Marcellus, and its associated radon, will start flowing through the Spectra pipeline in unknown proportions, directly into New York City boilers, laundromats, and kitchens.
After the morning event in Brooklyn, Tim DeChristopher will join us at the Spectra site, with his always-inspiring words, for a rally and action with elected officials (list in formation, TBA).
We want to thank everyone who has been such a huge support during the two years that we've been protesting this pipeline, especially our loyal membership and the legislators who are working on a law that would protect consumers from the dangers of radon, and is our next line of defense against the shale gas invasion of our city. Throughout this fight, YOU'VE been there with us, and we hope you'll join us for this last splash at the Spectra site!
Meet up for a peaceful rally on the promenade next to the river, just north of the crosswalk of the West Side Highway at Horatio St. There will be an optional non-violent action for those who wish to be arrested in protest of the pipeline. Legal observers will be present, and certain officials will also be arrested.

Fitness Do-It for OCTOBER 1: Sign up for ZYN22′s FREE Friday spin class
Oooh, I am all about the CAPITAL LETTERS today, aren't I? Guess the idea of being in a FREE spin class during your lunch hour on what looks like a promisingly GORGEOUS FRIDAY is just too hard to resist.
Anyway, Zyn22, which is located in The Shops at Park Lane, is hosting the class, which starts at 12:15 p.m. (but get there at noon) and lasts for a mere (but heart-pounding) 25 minutes. You'll get a full body workout with a combo of cardio and weight training.
Just in case you're not the only one who thinks this sounds like oh-so-much fun, you'll want to make sure there's a bike for you by registering in advance: www.zyn22.com. Click "buy classes," choose "Dallas," select "Fit Fridays In The Park." Oh, and you'll need this promo code: FITFRIDAY. Voila. No cost.
Spin shoes, weights, water and towels are provided. WHAT A DEAL!
The spot is located at southeast corner of Park Lane and Central Expressway at 8020 Park Lane. It's across from NorthPark Center; you probably drive by it all the time.
OK, what else do you need from me? Nothing. It's all up to you. Have fun. Pedal hard. Drink your water. Oh, and if you miss this class, no worries. It'll be repeated each Friday in October.

I have been using these wonderful support forums for a while now, and I notice that certain users have a link embedded in their username.
First of all, I know that it is legitimate! Most of the Mods, Admins, and such have such a link for their username.
But my question is still this: How does one get that kind of a link? Is it just for Mods (admins, etc.)? Is it just for people who have a "WordPress.org Profile"? Is it some kind of privilege?
Looking forward to see the answer to this one!
Thanks everyone!

This editorial is in regards to The Big House 6 and how Fendrick "Fendy" Lamar intends to take care of the commentators at the event. What we have in front of us is a sloppy step in the right direction for the future of Super Smash Bros. as a competitive eSport. It has plenty of problems however, and that's more of a matter of logistics and experience that comes from a different set of skills than what has carried the Smash scene forward for years.
The XXXI Olympic Games at Rio de Janeiro came to a close last Sunday, and with it began the countdown to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. This year's Olympics featured a somewhat unorthodox event: the Olympic eGames.

You might be surprised to learn that many patients who've visited the IBS Treatment Center have experienced or continue to experience acne. There are several things that these people have in common, but one stands out. Many have undergone long term treatment with antibiotics.
Antibiotics are not new to the treatment of acne, and they continue to be prescribed to control this pesky problem. However, their use in the treatment of acne stands out as one of the prime examples of the overuse of antibiotics.
Acne patients often take antibiotics nonstop for months at time, and it's not unusual for antibiotics to be prescribed continuously for several years to treat acne. Of course, this has many consequences. The biggest problem with this approach is that while it treats the acne, it kills good bacteria in the digestive tract. Killing the bacteria in the digestive tract may not cause a noticeable problem at first, but over time it almost inevitably leads to poor digestive. The main reason for this is that while antibiotics kill bacteria, they do not kill yeast. And everyone is exposed to yeast. However, yeast are usually kept in check by the good bacteria.
But the fewer good bacteria that you have in your digestive tract, the less competition there is for the yeast, so they begin to take over more territory.
If you create an opportunity for yeast to flourish, then they most certainly will do just that. And what happens then? Bacteria play an important role in the digestion and fermentation of your food. Yeast doesn't break down food as well or in the same way. Therefore one of the primary consequences of this is often the production of a lot of gas. Gas can then cause bloating and abdominal pain. An overabundance of yeast can also lead to diarrhea or constipation.
The longer you take antibiotics, the greater the chance that you will develop a yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract. However, a digestive problem may not manifest itself right away. It may take months or even years as the yeast continue to develop. In fact, digestive problem may not occur until many years after you've discontinued antibiotics.
Taking probiotics can be helpful, but they cannot guarantee the prevention of a yeast overgrowth, nor can they necessarily treat a yeast overgrowth. Ultimately treatment will require antifungals and a strict diet, since yeast thrive on all of our favorite sweet foods, regardless of whether or not they are processed or natural.

All things energy, from solar and wind power to efficiency and off-grid living.
By Sean Rosner
renewable energy, energy policy, feed-in tariffs
Vermont took a big step forward in promoting renewable energy last week by passing a feed-in tariff (FIT) policy. This type of renewable energy incentive guarantees that utility companies will pay owners of renewable energy systems a good price for the energy they produce. Vermont's FIT policy is one of the first to be passed in the United States.
The law is part of Vermont's Sustainably Priced Energy Enterprise Development Program, and closely resembles Ontario's Green Energy Act.
Made popular by Germany, who began using them in the 1990s, feed-in tariffs work by setting prices that utility companies must pay for the energy they receive from private producers such as households and businesses. By doing this, they alleviate the financial burdens of installing renewable energy systems. For more information on feed-in tariffs, go here.
In Vermont's case, the tariff rates are set not only to pay back the system costs, but to allow producers to generate a small profit. The tariff rates also vary by energy type, with more expensive energy systems bringing in more money. Here are some of the details of the law, as reported in this Paul Gipe article:
According to the Energy Information Administration, the average price of residential energy in Vermont is about 14.3 cents/kWh. For information on what other states are implementing feed-in tariffs, see this report (PDF).

6 Film shots for January 2016
From the past few months. Konica big mini and olympus om2n.
Ricoh GR1s Film Camera
I've wanted another Ricoh GR series camera for a long time now. I bought a Gr1 a few years ago and after a couple of rolls the camera succumbed to the common shutter issue. After a £200 repair quote I abandoned the camera, putting it down to experience and bought the rather nifty Konica Big Mini for a fraction of the repair cost. The Big Mini's a great little compact film camera for a lot less but it's lens is 35mm rather than the Ricoh's 28mm and it's also a little clunky to use. Despite being burnt I've still desired another Ricoh for ages and over the christmas period I snagged a GR1s as an undeserved present to self. Just taking a few photos with it and I'm reminded of just how well thought out the camera is. It's a joy to use.
The premium compact camera war
In the 90s, when film was still king, there was a premium compact camera battle between the big companies resulting in a handful of brilliant cameras. The olympus mju-ii, Yaschica T series, Contax t2, and many more are all highly sought after on eBay. All have varying levels of manual control, great glass, and are primarily fixed focus though there are exceptions. These cameras were aimed at the top end of the market and were not cheap to buy when they came out. The all round quality is one of the reasons they are still widely used. If you're interested in buying a premium compact, there's a good overview on Japanese Camera Hunter.
Favourite things about the Ricoh GR1s
Besides the ergonomics, ease of use, and great 28mm lens the camera holds, I'm looking forwarding to using the SNAP feature. It pre-sets the camera a fixed focal length and allows you to shoot with no af lag or anything, ideal for street photography. Shooting only a couple of rolls with this camera and it's so nice to use, it almost wills you to take a shot. If you want to turn the flash off, there's an easy switch on the back of the camera. Change the aperture and there's a simple dial, no faffing. The main thing I love about this camera is that it allows you to focus on the shot rather than the camera. That is the sign of great design.
A Word of warning
A lot of premium compacts, the Ricoh included, are difficult to fix. Ricoh no longer service this camera so if it breaks your pretty much dependent on either a camera repair shop or trying to repair it yourself. The problem is things like the circuit board are not made anymore, so you're either cannibalising other cameras or hoping that a repair shop still has the parts. if you're thinking, why waste your money on something that will break and you can't repair? It's a bit of a gamble but digital cameras depreciate massively very quickly and if I can get some great photos out of the Ricoh before it dies then it's worth it.

On Buying English English Shoes
A year and a half ago I started to look for a new pair of shoes, before that I mainly wore desert boots or cheap shoes from various retailers. The desert boots were good but lethal in winter and all the other shoes fell apart in 6 months. It was that time of year, so I begrudgingly started looking around for some new brogues. This time I was thinking of spending a little more money in the hope they wouldn't fall apart in six months. I looked for ages and couldn't find anything I liked.
I can't remember quite how it happened but I read somewhere about benchmade English shoes from Northampton. Church's, Trickers, Cheaney, Crockett & Jones, Barkers: I remember seeing shoe shops like this when I was younger, stuffy, old fashioned things with all black formal shoes. Reading this article opened my eyes. Northampton produces some of the finest shoes in the world and reading about the process, skill and craft made me think it could well be worth it.
I'm not really an impulse buyer. I like to read about things and mull them over first if I've got the chance and there was no rush so I started to reading about shoes, English in particular but not exclusively. Over the next few months of looking I came up with a number of arguments to myself.
Reasons to buy benchmade shoes
- Goodyear welted/Veldtshoen construction means they can be repaired. I find buying nice shoes a struggle so when I find a pair I like, it's annoying when they fall apart within 6 months. I could get these repaired. As a bonus, many makers offer a refurbishment service where they resole at the factory – that's faith in your product.
- High quality materials – again, this means they're not going to fall apart in 6 months, also, they look much better than cheap shoes.
- Comfort – I sound like a grandad here but comfort is important and these shoes are comfy.
- Style – in terms of brogues, which is what I was looking for first, there's a massive choice and they all look amazing.
On the downside, they're not particularly cheap. It was just before christmas, 2013 that I went into one of the cheaney stores to have a browse and walked out with a pair of Arthur III mahogany brogues. I also looked at Church's and Grenson's but in the end I like Cheaney's the best.
Around that time I also was fortunate to score a pair of Pennine IIR Burgundy boots. Besides brogues, I also desperately needed winter shoes as I normally spend the winter months sliding around. These things are indestructible and also look great and a year of use and they still look like new and they're nowhere near being resoled.
Both pairs of shoes are over a year old and I can't recommend them highly enough. They still look great, are comfortable, and haven't fallen apart within six months. That's got to be something to celebrate.

Hi there,
My site is: http://www.theroastedroot.net. This is a food blog, so the way the home page is formatted is great, but I want my other pages, "recipes" "about" "links" and "contact" to be completely static...in essence, I would like the green title and orange byline with the By Julia, date and number of comments to disappear on all pages except the homepage. I tried inserting this code into my CSS Stylesheet Editor:

But it didn't change anything. Any suggestions?

I called after receiving a payment book because I also wanted monthly statements from them so I could monitor my account and the balance. They told me they do not provide monthly statements but that I could go online and set up my online account and review information that way. I have tried to do this on three different occasions. I filled out all the requested information and each time it came back saying I could not set up an online account at this time. No reason was provided. I also found it odd that when filling out the info. it asks for the last 7 digits of your social security number. I have never heard of ANYONE doing this.
I tried to contact them by phone today. It is a sunday and a holiday weekend, but I tried calling anyway as there are many institutions theses days that have 24 hour access, 7 days a week. The phone just rang and rang and rang. No voicemail, no recording, no nothing. After the third try and over twenty rings, a machine did come on that simply stated, "the machine is off".
At the very least, they are unprofessional, uncoordinated and hard to reach. I am very nervous about not being able to access my statements and will be back on the phone with them after the holiday. I will never do business with them on my own.

How Kubo and the Two Strings Mixes Stop-Motion and Technology in Fascinating, Innovative Ways

Does eating a lot of fat make it easier for the baby to gain weight? This is my 3rd breastfed baby, but I was a porker for the first 2. I worked really hard to lose 80 pounds and of course, I got pregnant again.
I had a much smaller baby, 8 lbs 12 oz, compared to 10 and a half pounders for the first two. The first 2 babies were gaining like crazy, big ol chunky legs and were in the 95th pertcentile. My newest addition is not quiite back to birth weight after 3 weeks pp.
I know she looks great, is healthy and is growing. I eat a really healthy diet, but I'm trying to slowly lose some of the baby weight. but, does fatty food (healthy fat) go directly to breast milk? Doers it even matter. The pediatrician said my body would rob from itself to feed the baby.
What do you guys think. I'm always hungry when I'm BFing, which is how I got so fat before. Should I eat a little more?

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany -- When it comes to celebrations in Germany, colorfully decorated trees aren't just for Christmas anymore.
Roughly four weeks before Easter, handcrafted eggs dangle from the branches of birch trees, symbolizing new life and fertility, and towns, big and small, are painted in a sea of pastel.
Public fountains are adorned elaborate greenery, garland and florid Easter eggs to welcome the spring season and offer thanks for life-giving water. Each town seeks to make its decorations bigger and brighter than the next, and one local village, Sulzbach-Rosenberg, still holds bragging rights.
In 2005, this small town just 18 kilometers south of Vilseck entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the most eggs used to decorate an "Osterbrunnen," or Easter fountain. The townspeople managed to hang a total of 16,500 eggs, beating out the previous record of 11,600 held by Baden-Wuerttemberg.
While the ornamentation comes early, the official Easter holiday in Germany begins on Gruendonnerstag (Maudy Thursday). Gruendonnerstag means "Green Thursday" and is believed to be the day on which the Last Supper was held. It is tradition to clean your house thoroughly on this day, a custom possibly linked to the preparation of a Passover Feast.
Green food, such as spinach, kale, cress, leek, chives and other herbs are traditionally eaten on this day.
In both cultures, Good Friday is a day when Christians reflect on the crucifixion of Christ.
In Germany, the day is known as both Karfreitag meaning "sorrowful Friday" and Stiller Freitag, or quiet Friday. Unlike the U.S., Good Friday, along with Ostermontag (Easter Monday) are national holidays in Germany.
While there are apparent differences, many other German and American traditions overlap throughout the four-day celebration.
Easter eggs are dyed and children anticipate a visit from the "Osterhase" or Easter Bunny. Ostersonntag (Easter Sunday) brings church services, family gatherings complete with culinary overindulgence, rousing Easter egg hunts and baskets filled to the brim with chocolate and candy.
Germany stands alone, however, when it comes to the Saturday night bonfire (a symbol for the sun as the giver of life), and the baking of a braided sweet bread in the shape of a wreath, (Osterbrot), which is found in German bakeries around the holiday.
But America holds her head high as the birthplace of the infamous chick-shaped marshmallow treat; because nothing says "Happy Easter" or "Frohe Ostern" quite like a candy Peep.

Meryl Davis & Charlie White
Olympic Gold Medalists, World Champions, Ice Dancing
"If something is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse."
When they were 8 and 9 years old, Charlie White and Meryl Davis had to hold hands. Awkward. But they were doing something they both loved: ice skating. Actually, they were ice dancing, which is like ballroom dancing on ice skates.
Now, nearly two decades, 5 National Championships, an Olympic Gold and an Olympic Silver medal later, they are so good at holding hands and look so natural together, people often thought that they were dating. When training for competition, they trained about five hours a day, five days per week. There is a technical and artistic component to all of their routines. They make it look easy, and that takes a lot of hard work.
Now that they are grown up, they balance their training and competition schedules with college. They are both students at the University of Michigan. Meryl is majoring in Anthropology with a minor in Italian. Diagnosed with dyslexia at age 11, Meryl has refused to let it limit her accomplishments as a student.
Charlie is studying Political Science. Charlie is also a newlywed, having recently married Tanith Belbin, a Canadian ice dancer and sports journalist now know an Tanith White. Their two dogs DJ and Finn frequently appear in photos on Charlie's social media accounts.
This is Meryl and Charlie's fourth year as Athlete Mentors.

The minimum camera requirement for Windows Phone 7 is 5 megapixels, and that's exactly what you get with the HTC HD7S. The camera settings include six different resolutions, effects, scenes, and flicker adjustment. HTC also offers a Photo Enhancer app--available as a free download from the HTC Hub or Windows Phone 7 Marketplace--with which you can touch up photos and add effects.
HTC does a lot of things well, but one area where it really needs to improve is camera software. As we've seen on a number of the company's other smartphones, the HD7S' picture quality left much to be desired. Though we could make out the objects in the photos, the images looked flat with washed-out colors and a grayish overtone. The camera did slightly better with outdoor scenes, but also struggled in camcorder mode, as our 720p HD video clips looked discolored and murky.
We tested the quad-band HTC HD7S in New York using AT&T service, and call quality was an issue. Though our callers reported good results, we could hear a constant hissing in the background on our end. It wasn't bad enough that we couldn't hear voices, but it was noticeable and at times distracting.
HTC HD7S call quality sample
Listen now:
Speakerphone quality was OK. The hissing was gone once we activated the speakerphone, and though slightly tinny the sound was clear. When volume was set to the highest level, it was just enough so we could hear our callers in a noisier environment. We had no problems pairing the smartphone with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset and the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones.
Using AT&T's 3G network, CNET's full site loaded in 40 seconds, while the mobile sites for CNN and ESPN came up in 5 seconds and 12 seconds. YouTube videos took a few seconds to load, but played back continuously after buffering.
With its 1GHz Snapdragon processor and NoDo performance improvements, the HTC HD7S proved to be a very capable performer during our test period. There was very little delay when launching apps and navigating through the menus. The load time for games was much faster than we saw on the first batch of Windows Phone devices, and gameplay was smooth.
The HTC HD7S ships with a 1,230mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 4.5 hours and up to 11 days of standby time. As we stated in our HD7 review, it's disappointing to see such a small battery in a larger device, but so far battery life hasn't been an issue. With moderate usage (checking e-mail and Facebook, few calls, and occasional browsing), we were able to get through a full work day before needing to recharge. We are still conducting our battery drain tests, and will update this section as soon as we have final results. According to FCC radiation tests, the HD7S has a digital SAR rating of 0.956W/kg and a Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating of M3.
The HTC HD7S delivers on many fronts, including a large, crisp display and fast performance. Unfortunately, the subpar camera and call quality prevent us from giving it a higher score. Unless you absolutely crave the larger screen, the Samsung Focus is still our top pick of AT&T's Windows Phone devices. The HTC HD7S will be available starting June 5 for $199.99 with a two-year contract.

Maybe the answer is obvious, maybe is not.
What would you prefer in an endgame,2 rooks or a rook and a knight if there are also some pawns in the game?
Edit:Sorry for the mistake,it's BLACK to move and i don't know why it shows me white.
bit of an odd question. The answer should be the same for most people - 2R unless particular circumstances mean a knight is more effective.
2 rooks are far more powerful, cover more territory, switch between attack and defence quicker and you can link them.
In an endgame where there are no other pieces, 2 rooks are greater then the sum of their parts: linked they're worth something like 11 or 12 points, while the R and N are equal to the sum of their parts : 5+3. I hate using "points" to describe something, because it doesnt reflect positioning. Of course, in some (a far minority) of positions, a knight might be better then a single rook. But very rarely.
It is of couse a somewhat different matter if the side with knight instead of second rook also has a pawn advantage or passed pawn/s
It depends.
Show the other pieces- else the question is rather pointless.
If you are just about to mate, the 2 rooks are better to use but if you want some development especially in the middle, the 1R and 1K is still an option.
In the game above:if black is a bit better than white,then who has more chances to win?
Ummm, white to move he takes the rook...
Ummm, white to move he takes the rook...
I'd say black is lost: white's pawns are healthy, his knight lacks a useful outpost, the position is open...
would you advice white to exchange a rook or not?
Indeed. White is not only an exchange+pawn up, but will soon win a second pawn, no matter if Black plays ...b4 or ...Rc5.

The stock market is flat in early trading as investors continue to worry about the economy and the growing possibility of a government shutdown.
The Dow Jones industrial average is down 18 points to 15,316. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is off one point to 1,695. The Nasdaq is down two points to 3,765.
The U.S. government will run out of funding on Sept. 30, unless both parties can agree to pass a temporary funding bill in the next few days. The Dow and S&P 500 have fallen four consecutive days on concerns a government shutdown could harm the fragile economic recovery.
Investors did get an unexpectedly positive August durable goods report. Orders for long-lasting manufactured goods rose 0.1 percent last month, following an 8.1 percent decline in July.

Allahabad: Rains disrupt Maha Kumbh Mela
Adding to the problems was the caving in of temporary roads on the banks of the river Ganges as the sand below them sank.
Allahabad: Heavy rains that lashed Allahabad on Saturday created a crisis at the Maha Kumbh Mela premises, sending pilgrims, seers and journalists scurrying for cover as tents collapsed under the deluge. With heavy rains since Friday night, the entire mela area was turned into a mess and water collected at several places, destroying tentage everywhere.
Adding to the problems was the caving in of temporary roads on the banks of the river Ganges as the sand below sank. Owing to the inundation at some places, many Kalpawasis, who had come with a vow to give up worldly life for a month and stay at Kumbh, left the premises.
Many tents came down at sectors 4, 5, 9 and the seers staying there had to face many problems, admitted a mela official informing that at some places, electricity poles had come down. The city recorded 44.2 mm rainfall since Friday night.
The rains not only created trouble for the tents and roads but also destroyed a large portion of the ration stocks on the premises. Water also entered the media centre, leading to panic as electronic equipment, cameras, computers, printers etc were stocked there.
On directives of senior officials from Lucknow, the media centre was shifted to the cultural pandaal nearby so that the equipment did not get damaged in the rains. The cottages meant for journalists also were drenched and water logging was reported in this areas as well.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
It's not unusual for a comics creator to visit a classroom, but the program that Eben Burgoon led for the Sacramento, California, nonprofit 916 Ink was much more than that: a six-week workshop in which elementary school students learned to write comics, then pitched their stories to professional artists who worked with them on the finished product. The workshop included a variety of exercises and techniques, including the "Marvel Method" — Burgoon gave the students pages of finished art and had them fill in the word balloons — and making up the backstory for a random LEGO Minifig.
916 Ink promotes literacy by encouraging young people to write their own stories and poems, and it has published more than 25 books of student work. Its comics program is new and was spurred by demand from both parents and students; the finished work, released this week, will be available in local comics shops, through the 916 Ink website, and eventually through other channels.
We spoke with Burgoon about what he did with the students, how they worked with the artists, and why he thinks comics are a good medium for a literacy program.
The University of Kentucky has developed an awesome tool for making the periodic table of elements fun. The Periodic Table of Comic Books allows users to click an element and discover comics that talk about it, while also reading analyses of how scientifically accurate those comics are.
It's still a work in progress, so there aren't yet entries for say, meitnerium or astatine, but there are a surprising number of references for elements like hafnium and lutetium in addition to expected ones like oxygen, nitrogen, and – of course – krypton. As an example, below is Scrooge McDuck talking about lithium, but there are also fun examples of Jimmy Olsen looking for germanium and the Beyonder turning an office building into gold. A fun, educational way to kill some time.
The comics literacy non-profit, Reading With Pictures is dedicated to getting comics into classrooms. In addition to cultivating research on the role of comics in education, the mostly volunteer organization seeks to produce its own comics for schools to use and would like your help for their second publication. I say "mostly volunteer," but that doesn't include the creators of the new book. They'll be paid for their contributions and that – plus the large print run – is a major reason Reading With Pictures needs $65,000 to complete the project.
The first Reading With Pictures comic was the Harvey-nominated Reading With Pictures Anthology that featured work by Jill Thompson, Fred Van Lente, Raina Telgemeier, Chris Giarrusso, and others. The new compilation, The Graphic Textbook will include Ben Caldwell, Fred Van Lente, Ryan Dunlavey, Chris Schweizer, Russell Lissau, Marvin Mann, Amy Reeder, Janet Lee, Katie Cook, Roger Langridge, Josh Elder, Dean Trippe, and others.
The collection will contain 12 short stories (both fiction and non-fiction) that are appropriate for grades 3-6 and include a variety of subjects from Social Studies and Math to Language and Science. There will also be a Teacher's Guide with "lesson plans customized to each story, research-based justifications for using comics in the classroom, a guide to establishing best classroom practices and a comprehensive listing of additional educational resources."
It's a great cause with some great creators and some nifty rewards ranging from copies of the book and original art to being drawn into one of the stories.
Chris Wilson's blog, The Graphic Classroom is designed to recommend comics to teachers and librarians, but the educator recently served in another way when he was contacted by a young boy named Sam who wasn't allowed to count his comics reading for his third-grade reading program.
Sam wasn't satisfied with the rationale his teacher gave him, so with the support of his parents he made comics in education the subject of his science project and contacted Wilson for research data. Wilson gave him plenty, including his own thoughts, citations from Scott McCloud, and a PowerPoint presentation. It's a great story, but you'll have to visit The Graphic Classroom for the ending.

Annabelle was rescued by a good samaritan who brought her in and gave her a save place to raise her kittens. She is a friendly, pretty black and grey striped tabby with the most distinctive coat. Annabelle was born around February 2012 and when she sits on your lap and purrs, you know she likes this new indoor life that's safe and secure. She would make a very loving pet for someone who has time to devote to showing her how wonderful love and a forever home will be.
