Next Monday in Orlando, Florida, Alison Malsbury, our lead cannabis IP attorney, will be speaking at the 2016 INTA Annual Meeting on cannabis trademark issues. Alison will be part of the Pharmaceutical Marijuana Law – Branding, Marketing and Regulatory Issues panel that will be introducing IP practitioners to federal and state cannabis laws, and will cover both domestic and international trademark issues unique to the industry. Registration for the event is open through the end of this week.
INTA is by far the leading association of international trademark lawyers and we could not be prouder of Alison for being selected to speak on cannabis IP at its annual event.
Alison will be delving into the issues trademark lawyers face when practicing in the cannabis industry, including the federal versus state law conflict, difficulties in obtaining federal trademark protection, a breakdown of the USPTO's basis for refusing cannabis trademarks, state trademarks, and the complexities of trademark licensing deals.
The panel will be moderated by Lisa Martens, a partner in the Intellectual Property Practice Group at Sheppard Mullin. Fellow panelists also include Tamar Todd, Senior Director of the Office of Legal Affairs at Drug Policy Alliance, and Charles Gielen, an attorney with Amsterdam-based firm NautaDutilh and a professor in IP law at Groningen University.
We have written extensively on intellectual property law and branding issues in the cannabis industry, and a compilation of those articles can be found here.

The Pistol River Concert Association will present the Barn Birds at 8 p.m. Aug. 31 in the Pistol River Friendship Hall.
Jonathan Byrd of North Carolina is known for his songwriting and charismatic stage presence; he is touring with Chris Kokesh, songwriter and fiddle player for the Oregon-based Americana band Misty River.
Tickets cost $15 each and are available at Wright's Custom Framing in Brookings, Gold Beach Books and the door. A $5 student discount or refund is also available at the door. For ticket reservations or more information, call (541) 247-2848 or visit www.pistolriver.com.
The two met as teachers at a song academy in Oregon. Enamored with Chris' fiddle playing and singing, Jonathan invited her to play with him that weekend at the Sisters Folk Festival. They played two encores, and the festival audience voted them the encore performer to return the following year.
The duo toured the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, and came back to Oregon to make their first recordings in a barn in Sisters, Ore. They had to stop recording when the birds in the walls erupted in song. The "Barn Birds" were born.
The self-titled album was re-recorded at Blue Rock Studio in Wimberly, Texas. Recorded live and in fewer than 10 hours, the music was captured by engineer Keith Gary, and then later mixed by John Keane and mastered by Brent Lambert. The album has just been released on Waterbug Records.
The Boston Globe wrote this about Byrd: "This rootsy North Carolinian may be the most buzzed-about new songwriter in folkdom. He displays John Prine's gift for stark little songs that tell big, complex stories, Guy Clark's lean melodicism, Lyle Lovett's wry mischief, and Bill Morrissey's knack for the revealing image."
And Eugene Weekly wrote this about Kohesh: "(Her) songs of lost love, regret, community, and brave persistence would float effortlessly into the place where longing, love and nostalgia meet."

Very strange bokeh in top photo....
I'm using one of these with my Fs100 and it has a terrible geometrical distortions, specially in presence of vertical lines
I believe there's a sony page which specifies which nex cameras have the firmware that corrects it. FS100 and 700 are not on the list.
Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4G OSS is a solid performer. In the central areas of the frame, the lens delivers good to very good sharpness throughout its entire zoom range. The border areas are admittedly more problematic, requiring you to stop down to f/8 to get acceptable results, but you'll have to make a fairly big print – certainly beyond A4 size – to start noticing the deficiencies.
How do the zoom and focus rings feel and behave? The only focus by wire lens I have is an olympus m43 lens, and if you change focus even at medium speed (and especially at fast speeds) the focus jumps in what almost appears digital steps, not a smooth change. Is this the case with this sony lens, or do they have a better implementation?

Get your mind out of the gutter.
Toys in the bedroom: should you or shouldn't you? Here's how I see it:
Some children cannot handle toys in the bedroom. Rather than going to sleep at bedtime, they want to play; or, worse, they wake in the middle of the night and play.
- Solution: If you want toys in the bedroom, they can be brought in temporarily or have an out-of-sight bedroom location. Either way, they should be cleaned up and put away before bedtime routine begins.
- However: If your little critter is getting up to dig through the toy box then storing toys in the room probably isn't the best option.
Some children refuse or are very reluctant to clean up their toys. While this will be a problem whether the toys are in a bedroom or a playroom, having the bedroom as the site for the clean-up battle doesn't foster a calm sleeping environment.
- Solution: Provide an opportunity for success by allowing toys in the bedroom so long as they are cleaned up without fuss.
- However: I believe in second chances but at some point a parent has to declare a "no toy in the bedroom" rule.
For some kids, their bedroom is the only place they can play without a sibling interfering.
- Solution: Allow special toys to be stored in the bedroom, brought in temporarily, or provide a time and space where the child gets some uninterrupted play time.
- However: Be sure that alone-play-time isn't the only playtime because for some kids, desire for alone-play is rooted in an unwillingness to share or play with others.
Do you allow toys in the bedroom? Why, or why not?

Oh boy, don't get me started on Obama...no, I do not feel he has. But then again, I don't know - how is the weather, oh a car- This is how Obama speaks to his public. He dances around the subjects, never giving a clear answer or proposal of a solution.
The problem with Obama and many of his men are that they never have managed or led anyone before. They always sat as a member, not a leader. As for promises? Were they his to begin with? Think about it.

1. 25litres cold water
1 carrot cut into chunks
1 onion quartered
1 celery stick halved
1 leek sliced
6 whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon salt
A few parsley stalks
2 pinches dried herbs or sprig of fresh thyme
The general rule is to use 570ml water per set of giblets or if youre buying frozen giblets use 175g giblets per 1 pint water.
If you are using fresh giblets and dont need the liver for making a stuffing do add it to the stock as well I think it adds real richness of flavour.
Just put everything into a large cooking pot bring to the boil skim the surface to remove any scum then simmer gently with the lid almost on for 2 hours. After that strain the stock cool it and remove the fat from the surface before using or freezing.

Areas That Can Mitigate Brazil's Commodity Price Losses
Brazil's past performance
In the past, Brazil's (EWZ) performance was mainly supported by the movement in commodity prices (DBC) (DBA). As its economy is greatly dependent on the commodity exports, any fluctuations in commodity prices affects the economic growth of the country.
Interested in BBD? Don't miss the next report.
Receive e-mail alerts for new research on BBD
During the 2008 subprime economic crisis, Brazil's equity index fell by nearly ~55.3%, and its commodity index fell by nearly 42%. Other non-commodity sectors such as the financial and IT sectors also showed a fall in performance. However, Brazil's equity index was not able to provide strong performance when the non-commodity sectors recovered after the crisis.
In June 2014, when commodity prices started their downturn, Brazil's IT sector showed strong performance at that time. Brazil's IT index rose by nearly 110% in June 2014 from its low in July 2009. However, there was not any massive improvement in Brazil's equity index.
Brazil's financial services
Brazil's financial services industry closely tracks the movement of its currency and the Selic rate (short-term interest rate). The fluctuation in its interest rate and depreciation in its currency directly impacts the performance of its financial services sector.
Major Brazilian banks such as Banco Bradesco (BBD), Banco Santander Brasil (BSBR), and Itau Unibanco (ITUB) also showed a huge fluctuation due to the change in the Selic rate and the depreciation of the real. However, the depreciating real is good for the country's IT sector.
From the above chart, we can see that the financial sector provides support to the movement of Brazil's equity market. The financial and IT sectors provide support to Brazil's equity market, which is touching new highs despite the fall in commodity prices.
In the final part of this series, we will analyze what could drive growth in the economy.

The annual "Summer Giant Blue Whale Migration" brings hundreds of blue whales each summer/fall to the waters off Newport Beach. Over 1000 whales were viewed last summer (summer 2011) and the blue whales have already arrived for 2012.
Giant blue whales were once considered quite rare off southern California, but over the last five years this has changed dramatically with hundreds/thousands of giant blue whales spotted each year. These giants of the sea reach lengths of 100 feet and are the largest of all animals. Along with viewing these giants, the second largest whale in the world, the finback whale has also taken to the waters of southern California during the same months as the blue whales. Giant pods of common and bottlenose dolphin are also very common with pods numbering a thousand of more dolphins quite likely. These dolphin pods come within arms reach as they play along side the whale watching ship. Viewings are so good that there is a 96% viewing success rate and if nothing is viewed a free pass for another whale watching cruise is offered.
Join Newport Landing's whale watching cruises offered daily and view the largest creature on earth.

Insua talks continue
Talks over Emiliano Insua's potential switch from Liverpool to Fiorentina are ongoing.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 16/07/10 9:33pm
Talks over Emiliano Insua's potential switch from Liverpool to Fiorentina are ongoing, the latter have confirmed.
The Argentine left-back has been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer following manager Roy Hodgson's arrival.
A fee in the region of £5million has been mooted, and the Viola have hinted at their optimism that a deal will be struck.
Fiorentina sports director Pantaleo Corvino told calciomercato.com: "There is a negotiation for Insua, we've been talking (with Liverpool) for a few weeks.
"We are interested in player, we'll see how it will end."
Insua's agent Solomon, meanwhile, has refused to deny that he is in Italy holding talks with Fiorentina.
He told Violanews.com: "Yes, I'm one of Insua's agents, I take care of managing the various negotiations.
"Fiorentina? I don't want to comment, but I cannot confirm or deny I'm not in Florence."

Business Book Club: Understanding Finance is Imperative to Business Success
Working with numbers does not always come easily to entrepreneurs – that's why it poses such a problem for small businesses trying to succeed.

Business Book Club: Why Business Owners Need to Know About the E-Myth
Aspiring entrepreneurs often glamorize what it will be like to own and run a business. While that is part of what makes the whole endeavor so appealing and inspirational, it also hides some big and important truths. These truths of business can make the difference between having a company that runs like a well-oiled machine and the alternative – a business owner run ragged by their company. Which would you choose?read more
Business Book Club: Success and the Learned Professional
It is not really a new idea that the professional who continually seeks to expand their knowledge and skills is more likely to succeed than their less motivated counterpart. Yet, I've often wondered, what does it mean to be a dedicated life-long learner? More specifically, how does an aspiring professional continue to grow and learn so that she may succeed? Frank Bettger's book, How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling is a classic read that, in addition to portraying his "from rags to riches" story as a salesman, also conveys the benefits of being dedicated to disciplined self-education. To learn literally means to change one's behavior! This might be contrary to what our educational system would have you believe – that to learn means to regurgitate information for a test. Allow me to illustrate how knowledge itself does not mean one has learned. I know, that if I want to stay physically fit, I should exercise daily. Ideally to maintain a healthy heart, I should spend no-less than 30 minutes on cardiovascular exercise a day. I know this, yet I do not do this! Let me say this again, to learn means to change one's behavior. When was the last time that you did something differently because of what you learned? Take a moment to think about that, I'll be here for a while! Your life experiences are the best learning opportunities. I would wager a bet that the most commonly used phrase in Bettger's book was, "What I learned from that experience was…." And what he learned was more than just an interesting fact or notion, he learned a new way of operating, a better way of conducting business, an improved way of presenting himself. Bettger literally learned how to raise himself from failure to success. His book is peppered with stories, of his own experiences and of others. These stories are vivid illustrations that demonstrate the power of learning; the power of not only changing but improving your behavior for a better performance. And interspersed with these stories of his experiences are the titles of books that he read and the names of lectures that he attended. He applied the knowledge that was passed down to him in those venues to his own life experiences, the result of which was his vast success. Sometimes we stumble upon success. We happen to do things in just the right manner, at just the right time and as a result we win – we win the opportunity, the contract, or the job! But taking a blind approach like that does not ensure your lasting success (especially in, need I say it….this economy). It is not too late to take a more proactive stance with your own professional development. If you are at the top of your game today, you will want to continue learning so that you may remain there. And if you are striving to achieve the vision of success you have yourself, you will want to learn so that you can get there. I recommend reading Bettger's book so that you may learn how to learn! Oh, and there happens to be some really inspiring recommendations for succeeding in selling too. We will be discussing How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling at the May 10th EntrepreNerds meeting. For more information or to sign up, visit us online www.Meetup.com/EntrepreNerds.

His w isnt very strong at all it deals little damage and the movement buff isnt all that great so i dont pick it up till way late. Try to stay in the lane till level 6 then go buy your chalice. I got the aegis because it stacks with his w so you have the power to make anyone on your team really tanky. i know this build needs more detail/tips but i doubt many people will look at this but if i get good feedback ill put alot more in. Galio is a very complex champion and writing down all my tips/tricks and when to do what would take forever.

The Deliberate Freedom of Imperfection
Twig Prayers
Many years ago, after twelve years of owning my own photographic business, I lamented that I'd never done the one thing I was told all Good Photographers once did: Assist another photographer to learn the ropes. So, with my business at a stalemate, I decided it was me that was the problem. I found another photographer, asked if I could meet with her, showed her my portfolio, asked if I could be her assistant.
She laughed and responded with, "What the hell? You've been a working photographer for twelve years? Why are you here? Oh, I know what it is. You have what I have, which is the crippling Expert Syndrome. You think you have to be perfect, and an expert, and if you aren't perfect or an expert in EVERYTHING, you freeze and nothing you do is good enough or even good at all. Listen: you are already a working photographer. And my competition. This is silly! Go out and be my competition!"
Eventually crippled by my own doe-in-the-headlights self-doubt and perfectionism, I left my career behind, sold all my equipment, and entered a completely different field. I turned my back on what I'd spent years building.
Well, I've returned full circle to photography, and writing, but that perfectionism had amazing staying power and never left, though I did. I face that dragon again now. Zoom forward to a month ago and another interesting reflection from a friend. He noticed my crippling perfectionism too, and gave me an assignment.
He told me of a student who was so crippled with perfectionism that her professor assigned her the task of writing – and turning in to him – the very first draft of a paper. If he found she'd edited it, he would fail her from the class. Wow! My friend said, "You are just like that. Here's my assignment for you: you must make a plan that is deliberately imperfect and do that plan."
So, this week, with my first presentation at a museum, I chose to present knowing full well that what I was about to do was imperfect, and do it anyway. I discovered that I didn't die, and no one else in the room did either. My one suffered renal failure as a result of my imperfect introduction in this talk, and the slightly unsure wrap up of the story. It was imperfect, but I did it. Despite that, one man in the room told me my writing had answered a question for him that he never been able to articulate. He said this: "I want you to know that what you wrote really meant something to me, personally. You helped me understand something about my place in this world. Thank you."
If that is the result of humble but shared imperfection, with its wobbly, nervous introduction and a not-perfect wrap up, I'll take it.

Easy-to-use pump aid speeds maintenance work{{1485882289102| date:'MMM d, yyyy hh:mm a'}} REDWIRE is news you can use from leading suppliers. Powered by FRASERS.

KSB's new SewaSlide pump maintenance aid is a valuable accessory to its Sewabloc family of wastewater pumps. The unit is a movable support that not only makes operations like impeller inspections, blockage clearances and seal replacements faster and easier, but it also makes the task of opening the pump a simple, one-person job.
How it works
With the SewaSlide in place, the maintenance technician simply undoes the bolts, which fasten the volute casing to the rest of the pump. Then the technician slides the core pump assembly (including the impeller, shaft, bearings, seals and motor) away from the volute casing, which remains in place, attached to its inlet and outlet pipes. Once the pump has been opened, the impeller is exposed so that the technician can easily remove the materials that have caused blockages, or perform other maintenance operations. Once these tasks have been completed, the pump can be quickly re-assembled by rolling the impeller/shaft/motor assembly back into place and re-inserting the bolts. No cranes or lifting apparatus are required, which saves both time and money.
The SewaSlide mechanism has been designed to fit around the normal Sewabloc pump mounts and to be quickly assembled or disassembled. For facilities with several Sewabloc pumps, a single SewaSlide unit can be moved between these pumps on an as-needed basis.
Additional details
These aids are a helpful addition to the Sewabloc family of single-stage, close-coupled centrifugal pumps, which are optimized for use with sewage, industrial wastewater and stormwater. The pumps are available in a range of sizes, with a maximum flow capacity of 830 cubic metres per hour, and they feature advanced KSB impellers designed to minimize clogging due to solids in the waste stream.
SewaSlide supports and Sewabloc pumps are available in Canada from KSB Pumps Inc., based in Mississauga, Ont. KSB Canada specializes in providing reliable pump solutions for the most challenging applications in industrial and utility power plants, environmental facilities, mining and industrial processes.

While my brain was melting hubby took the girlies on a Bureau of Engraving and Printing tour. It sounds like they had a great time... in a temperature controlled environment... "it was cool"... maybe they meant fun... but my brain no longer processes "cool" as anything but a temperature. I will seek all the "cool" places in this Texas heat :)
Speaking of cool places...
Barnes and Noble has an EXCELLENT air conditioner.
If you ride the escalator there is an extra breeze.
Girlies couldn't get their eyes to relax enough to see the pictures.
... I was so tired it took my eyes about two seconds to register the images.
Then we hopped across to the equally air conditioned restaurant to have a family dinner. Lots of fun!
Caitlin: Look under there!
(I look but can't see anything.)
Caitlin: No, look under there!
(We are at a table, there aren't a whole lot of places to look. I don't see anything...)
Caitlin: Look under there!!
Me: Under where?!
Caitlin.... giggling maniacally.
After dinner hubby took the girlies to see a movie and I headed home. Too old to stay up late on a school night.

Law enforcement agencies recently expressed disapproval of armed militia groups helping police the southern border, but one thing they do want is invasive surveillance blimp technology.
Militias assemble on the Texas-Mexico Border
Picking up the federal government's slack, various militia groups have assembled along the banks of the Rio Bravo River in deep south Texas in an effort to supplement border security.
Prompted to action by reports that illegals are overrunning the country, and by fears that the influx in its current form will further destroy the country's infrastructure and, indeed, aid in the dismantling of national sovereignty, militia groups ultimately desire people entering the country illegally to follow the proper channels to gain citizenship.
To this end, they have lent their assistance, free of charge, to federal and state agencies that evidently have their hands full.
But those supposedly in charge of securing the border say militia members, who lack the traditional law enforcement attire, are confusing police officers and border agents.
"Sometimes it can be dangerous, because you have all these (non-law enforcement) people out there running around the border," said Kevin Oaks, the Border Patrol's chief in the Rio Grande Valley in an Associated Press report entitled, "Border Patrol: Leave law enforcement to the pros." "There are cartel members that carry assault weapons and camouflage, and then there's others that may be under the auspices of whatever group, may look very similar, and we have no idea who those people are. My fear is that these things clash and eventually there will be a very bad outcome."
One such "bad outcome" manifested last month when a border agent accidentally opened fire on a man who later turned out to be a militia member.
"We really don't need the militia here," Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said following the shooting. "It just creates a problem from my point of view, because we don't know who they are."
"How do they identify themselves? Do they have badges? How do we know who they are?" Hidalgo County Sheriff's Deputy J.P. Rodriguez also questioned in August. "If they're all just dressed in camos, it's kind of hard to distinguish whether they're law enforcement or not… There's a lot of potential for stuff to go wrong."
We need blimps, not boots
While making it clear that additional help is not needed, law enforcement is nevertheless enthusiastic over the launch of surveillance balloons over several cities in South Texas.
The tethered blimps, known as aerostats, were transferred to the Border Patrol from the Defense Department after being used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. They hover around 3,500 feet in the air, and come equipped with military-grade radar and 360-degree camera equipment which can zoom in on license plates from miles away, enabling agents to keep a close eye on border activity 24 hours a day. There are currently eight aerostats floating in Texas, with five of them surveilling the Rio Grande Valley, up from three initial trial balloons.
"They have been extremely successful," Border Patrol agent Joe Gutierrez Jr. told The Monitor. "It's opened our eyes to the amount of traffic. As soon as the aerostat went up, we saw more apprehensions."
Justifying their need for the spy apparatuses, law enforcement agents claim smugglers often take advantage of the few times in the day the aerostats are pulled for maintenance.
"They probably do monitor the aerostat, smugglers do," stated Penitas Police Chief Roel Bermea. "When they put it down for any reason, I'm pretty sure they take the risk in crossing as many illegals as they can."
"The more eyes we have on what's going on around us the better," Rio Grande City Assistant Police Chief Noe Castillo told CBS affiliate ValleyCentral.com in May after Starr County received a blimp. "I think any jurisdiction would love to have that in their area."
But privacy concerns have arisen over the undisclosed scope of the aerostats' surveillance capabilities. Tom Hargis, the Director of Communications for the ACLU of Texas, for one, believes the balloons could potentially infringe on American citizens' privacy rights.
"For border residents, more mass surveillance gadgets in the sky simply add to the sense of being under siege," Hargis told The Monitor.
"The extraordinary authority that government possesses on this border continues to spill over the lives of regular Americans. Instead of a targeted effort to stop crime, what we've been seeing is an approach such as dragnet surveillance that turns us all into suspects," Hargis stated.
The Border Patrol insists it would never use the blimps to spy on citizens, however, it is reluctant to disclose details about the blimps' capabilities "so smugglers would not learn of any limitations," writes The Monitor's Fernando Del Valle.
"The specific purpose is not to infringe on people's privacy," said Border Patrol agent Shevannah Wray. "We use it to secure the border."
The agency's reassurances are lukewarm, given that the federal government considers areas up to 100 miles inland from the border "Constitution-free zones."
In his 2005 documentary film, Martial Law 9-11: The Rise of the Police State, Alex Jones predicted that blimps, such as the aerostats patrolling the border, would soon be surveilling major cities.
"This is only the beginning. In the future, every major city will have a high-altitude blimp tethered to a cable with ground-penetrating radar that looks right through your walls and gives the government a black and white image of the inside of your home," Jones predicted.
Scroll to approximately 10 minutes to hear Jones' comments.
In the film, Jones captured a blimp spying on American citizens ahead of the high-security 2005 Republican National Convention in New York City, loaned out to the NYPD by Fuji Film.
The blimps have already been tested in several cities throughout the country, including Washington DC, and one is scheduled to make an appearance in San Diego by the end of the month. Analysts project the Aerostat Systems Market to reach $9.96 billion by 2020.
Orchestrated Border Crisis Used to Give Big Brother Bigger Eyes
Given the Obama administration's role in facilitating and orchestrating the border crisis, the move to launch more surveillance blimps is likely another classic example of how a manufactured crisis can never go to waste.
Back in June, a McAllen, Texas city official exclusively told Infowars that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol was purchasing bus tickets and vouchers for illegal immigrants in order to ship them deeper into the country at taxpayers' expense.
Since then it has emerged that the federal government is playing a key role in helping immigrants by stemming deportations, providing lavish accommodations and setting them up with immigration court hearings that rarely get attended.
The practice of catching and releasing illegals into the country has led some agents to label the influx a contrived debacle, which the Obama administration is purposefully neglecting to act on.
"This is not a humanitarian crisis," National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers Zack Taylor said in a press release earlier this year. "It is a predictable, orchestrated and contrived assault on the compassionate side of Americans by her political leaders that knowingly puts minor Illegal Alien children at risk for purely political purposes. Certainly, we are not gullible enough to believe that thousands of unaccompanied minor Central American children came to America without the encouragement, aid and assistance of the United States Government."
Taylor has gone further by calling the government's inaction "asymmetrical warfare" which will work to defeat the nation "from within."
Moreover, AmericanBorderPatrol.com's Glenn Spencer outlined to Infowars in July how he had developed technology which would detect illegal immigrants by counting "everybody who crosses the border and alert where they are, and how many" by utilizing a seismic "sonic barrier," similar to devices previously used by oil exploration companies.
The fact that the technology was praised by a U.S. Defense Department contractor, but never implemented, illustrates how the federal government is actively ignoring solutions which would stem the tide of illegal immigrants, in favor of surveillance technologies replete with privacy-infringing implications.

Damn Dirty Skrulls: What We Know Now 11
First, a mild disclaimer from Lucas: For the record, I've been enjoying Secret Invasion quite a bit. However, I have a sense of humor, and like to make fun of things to keep them fresh. Also, this Skrull report is brought to you by Sharpie Markers*. Sharpie, adding in KRAKABATHROOMs where needed since the 1960s.And now, a note from Troy: Holy crap, we're still doing this? This thing's running longer than Gunsmoke! Giddy up, then . . . New Avengers #44: Like many recent Avengers books, this Avengers book doesn't really star the Avengers. And that's okay, because neither does one of this week's other Avengers books, and neither does this week's Spider-Man tie-in. In fact, this is becoming such a recurring theme that other media are starting to catch on; I understand that there will soon be an episode of The Hills that isn't filled with vacuous, talentless mannequins. At any rate, this Illuminati Super Special deals with how the Skrulls used the information that they gleaned from the Illuminati's capture way-back-when to sort-of reverse-engineer what Reed Richards' responses would be. There are no real revelations here; we just get a look at the process by which the Skrulls sweated the Reed Richards Thought Process out of a duplicate. Yeah. That's pretty weird. Mighty Avengers #17: Hank Pym Skrulls break frequently. That's the message here. We're given to understand that the Skrulls replaced Skrullowjacket more than once, and that perhaps Dum Dum Duganskrull had to whack the replacement more than once. That's it? That's what we get in this one? Don't you miss the days that the Avengers used to star in their own comic and fight villains? Think of it now . . . Pat Benetar was on the charts . . . Red Ronin or the Masters of Evil would show up and break s#!+. Now, no one remembers Red Ronin, the Masters of Evil basically all work for the government, and the Avengers don't appear in their own books. Ah, progress. Avengers: The Initiative #16: Now I don't know why the Reed Richards thing was such a big deal. Wanna know how you spot a Skrull? Eat one! That's what we learned from the reappearing members of the Skrull Kill Krew. Slott and Gage dutifully recap the SKK's story, and remind us that their consumption of Skrull cow led to their ability to see through the Skrull disguises. Okay, all well and good. And now? The Krew just eats Skrull because they like it. All together now: eww. That does raise two very direct points: one, that dinosaur in the Savage Land can now positively identify Skrulls (and doesn't give a s#!+), and two, we know that Hank Pym's not a full-service kind of guy, because he never knew that co-ed was a Skrull. In other news, Sharon Ventura aka She-Thing was the replaced member of New Mexico's team, The Mavericks. Also, War Machine races away on Iron Man's stealth orders, and cowardly Ant-Man is the one guy who knows exactly what's going on at Camp Hammond with Skrullowjacket and his troops. Hooo-boy. Secret Invasion: Spider-Man #1: Stretch your minds back to previous columns. Remember when I said that every tie-in written by Brian Reed was an important book? Wrong. I guess it's called Secret Invasion: Spider-Man because Secret Invasion: Supporting Characters from the Thrice Monthly Book that's Controversial Among Fans is a little on-the-nose. Thunderbolts #123: Oh, for the love of . . . another look at the talk between Mar-Vell and Norman? If we'd had this many angles on the Zapruder film, then we'd know who killed Kennedy. Regardless, Norman and the T-Bolts head for Washington D.C., and things are an absolute mess. On a practical level, they don't get much better. Although the Bolts are initially making headway, smart counter-offensive maneuvers by the Skrulls take their toll. Some Bolts go down, some may yet be Skrulls, and, oh yeah, Norman starts to freak out. Not good for Earth, kids. New Warriors #15: This issue gets going quickly, as the Warriors tangle with CounterForce, the group of Old New Warriors that formed in Avengers:Initiative. The fight ends quickly as Night-Thrasher reveals himself to actually be Donyell Taylor, brother of Dwayne; this probably means a lot if you're a regular reader. Donyell's out to prove that it wasn't his brother who died at Stamford, but rather a Skrull. Justice indicates that he knows where to find the body, and hey, we've got a team-up. The kids hit a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier where the bodies are stored; Thrash and Justice make for the bodies while the rest battle Skrull forces. The bodies of Dwayne, Namorita, and Microbe are positively IDed. The young heroes make off with the bodies and give them a decent burial elsewhere. At story's end, Donyell receives a mysterious call. Who was it? Don't know. That's why the whole "mysterious" part. As for the rest . . . I think Hercules #120 is best told in the form of poetry, primarily using the sound effects that accompany the issue's events. First, there is the prelude, in which Kly'bn, the "he" of "He Loves You" is revealed to be an Eternal Skrull. Yes, THAT kind of Eternal. His wife, and perhaps all shape-changing Skrulls, is revealed as a Deviant Skrull. Those darn Celestials just can't stop sticking their hands in peoples' business, can they? And now, Sound Effect laden poetry: BZZRRAAKKK! Ajak turns against Hercules, taking over the God Squad.
Umm-SLURP! Demogorge EATS Sl'Gur'T, the shape-shifting Deviant Skrull goddess wife of Kly'bn
RRRMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBB Trouble's brewing in Demogorge's belly
KRKOOW!! Kly'bn eye-blasts Ajak's head off. Don't worry, he's an Eternal- he'll be back someday
WAKACHAKABOOM!!! Sl'Gur'T bursts out of Demogorge's stomach, splitting him into a thousand pieces in the processCHWOK! A bone of old Gorgey slams into Amadeus, seemingly sending him falling to his doom
NA-COSBOOM!! Herc double-hand uppercuts Kly'bn, rejecting his advances
SHKKRAAKKKOWW KKRKAAKKTAAAKKK SSSHHKKAAKKAKK… QWFOOSH! SKRRABAAAMMM WOKKATHOOOM Man, that was an exciting fight between our hero and the ultimate villain!
GA-BLOIK! And that's the sound the bone of an elder god plunging through a Skrull Eternal's heart makes when thrust thusly by Snowbird, who did not in fact die earlier and just arrived on the scene in company of Amadeus Cho
KKKKKKKKKKKK KAAAKKISSSSHHHHH The master copy of the book of worlds (think Skrull Bible in giant Superman-style Crystal form) blows up as their god dies. Simultaneously, Reed Richards escapes (and no one will know that Hercules turned the tide)KKKKKKKKKKKK… NEEEEYYAAAHHH!! Mikaboshi apparently gets torn in half by Sl'Gur'T
RRRRMMMMBBBBB… KKKRRRMMMBBBBBB KRRAAAAKKKKKK FRAGRWAAARRRM The Skrull temple in Skrull Dreamtime collapses, as Snowbird catches Hercules and Amadeus, flying off into the Dreamtime equivalent of sunsetAs they leave, Mikaboshi stands revealed, triumphant, having taken Sl'Gur'T's form to kill her. He tells the lesser-gods of the Skrull that he is their new ruler, and their cause is now his. Athena watches all from afar, looking pleased. With that ends the best book of sound effects in the history of forever. And ever. Mikaboshi Loves You? X-Factor #34 finishes off the 3 part crossover with She-Hulk. The Talisman tries to convince Darwin that he's the missing link between humans and Skrulls, as he's super-adaptable. Jazinda (Kl'rt-Spawn) shows up, playing the decoy for Monet as she flies in and lays the THOOM CRAK down on 'ole Talisman (what, I'm into the sound effects now!). The ensuing fight has Darwin standing up to Nogor the Talisman, but just when he's about to defeat him, She-Hulk lays a punch that would've knocked any normal Skrull's head off, knocking out the god-linked Skrull. Jazinda puts a fancy tiara on his head to zap his powers, and she and Shulkie take him with them as drive away from Detroit… …and wind up in Minneapolis in She-Hulk #32. BUT, we're actually gonna come back to that one, cause this is where the timeline can get a bit screwy. So let's just say She-Hulk, Jazinda, and their new pet Nogor are currently driving from Motor City to the Twin Cities, and we'll see them again in a few moments. Up in SPPPAAAAACCCCEEEE, we see the Skrulls are trying to take out anyone with links to Earth, even those currently far away from it. In Guardians of the Galaxy #4, Major Victory, who is of course from the future version of the Guardians, continues to get attacked at their base in Knowhere, the inter-dimensional center of everything. One such attack sees their gateway in and out of Knowhere destroyed in a gigantic explosion (which unfortunately did not have a cool sound effect attached. Let's help Marvel out here, and add one ourselves. Everyone take out a Sharpie, and let's use my favorite sound effect from last year's World War Hulk; now use your Sharpie and write "KRAKABATHROOM!" directly under the word "Damages." There, don't you feel better? Me too). A bunch of people die in the now-fixed explosion, with three of them revealed to be Skrulls, one of whom is a Super Skrull with unidentifiable powers. The inevitable "Anyone could be a Skrull, none of us trust each other anymore!" fight happens, and Knowhere's Administrative Council steps in to take over the investigation (very suspicious timing, no?). After a bunch more infighting, Mantis and Starlord reveal that Mantis tampered with the minds of their other teammates to have them commit to the team without thinking it through first. Drax overhears this, and doesn't look pleased. Speaking of Drax, he's apparently been sneaking about on Knowhere quite a bit, and the book ends with him opening up a weapons storage area, looking menacing, and RR-CHAK, cocking his gigantic gun. Elsewhere in SPPPAAAAACCCCEEEE, Nova, who has recently lost the Xandarian Worldmind (which would have likely been very helpful in dealing with a bunch of Skrulls), flies to a distress call in the start of Nova #16. He lands on Dendron (which is not Thundara, as much as the people may make you think it is) to find the only survivors of a massive attack: a severely injured old man, and 4 little toddler kitten Dendronians. As he attempts CPR on the old one, it transforms into a Sandman Skrull, trapping him where he is, as the "children" reveal themselves as variety pack Super Skrulls. Before you can say Uh-oh, one re-reveals himself to in fact be Kl'rt, the O.G. Super Skrull. He and Nova, having teamed up in the two Annihilation wars, make short work of the Skrull squad. Nova finishes the battle by flying through the Skrull warship, blowing it to smithereens. It doesn't make a cool sound effect, but 'ole Richie has us covered, saying "Pow." Thanks, Richard! Rich and Kl'rt have a heart to heart, with Kl'rt finally telling him that the "ignorant religious crusade" is aimed at Earth. As Nova initiates a stargate to take him to his home planet, Kl'rt convinces him to take him along to help stop the invasion, saying he wants to see his daughter (the aforementioned Jazinda). One SHKKOOM later, and the unlikely pair are smack in the middle of the Skrull invasion fleet above Earth. Just when it seems all is lost, well, all is in fact lost. Kl'rt turns against Nova and declares his allegiance to the Skrull armada. And that brings us back to She-Hulk #32. Sometime and events after the end of Nova #16, Kl'rt makes it down to Earth and tracks down his spawn. First, Nogor the Talisman and Jazinda chat a bit, about nothing very important. She-Hulk saves a bunch of humans by throwing a tree at a Skrull transport ship (no SFX, if you were wondering… where'd that Sharpie go?). They jack the escape pod from the ship, and fly off to try to find Jaz's old ship, currently residing in the bottom of a lake. This is when Daddy-dearest shows up, ready to make good on his promise to kill his daughter. He's momentarily distracted by the shock of seeing the Talisman there, just long enough for She-Hulk to tackle him out of the flying vessel. In the tussle, Nogor's power-halting tiara is broken, and he subsequently breaks free of his bindings. As She-Hulk and Kl'rt fight and fall, they are about to hit an airplane; as Nogor and Jazinda fight and fall, Nogor intentionally destroys the ship's controls, then tells Jazinda that he's sapping her resurrection ability so when the ship crashes to the ground, she will die once and for all. When last we saw the Wakandian peoples, they were Bravehearting it out against the guns-free Skrulls, who insisted they still had one or two operatives hidden within the African nation's ranks. We rewind a bit for Black Panther #40, as last time the Skrull general got to speechify, and Black Panther needed an opportunity to mention that the Skrulls could take their lives, but never take their Vibranium (it's actually quite the cool juxtaposed scene). The titular hero faces off against a Super Skrull with Luke Cage, Wolverine, Iron Fist, and Bullseye's abilities, along with the fighting styles of Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Captain America, Daredevil, Elektra, and Black Panther. Henceforth, he shall be called Ninja Skrull. Black Panther finds out quickly that the 18 pressure points a regular Skrull can be defeated with don't quite work on Ninja Skrull. His soldiers are not faring so well, as one after another falls in death before Black Panther's eyes. The two tussle, and Black Panther mentions figuring out Ninja Skrull's weaknesses, including when each power is activated. BP talks about Ninja Skrull turning off his "left arm's" invulnerability, while simultaneously snapping his right arm in half at the elbow (KRAK). With a leap and a SPLURT, BP makes Ninja Skrull a cyclops, taunting him while holding his freshly removed eyeball (the actual left this time, for the record). Now he snaps Ninja Skrull's left leg in half at the knee (CRUNCH) (and no, I'm not kidding, this fight is actually this vicious!), and lets Ninja Skrull lie there and bleed to death. Unfortunately, the Skrulls have some other plans, as "Asgardian Mix" Skrull and "Powerhouse Mix" Skrull come to rumble with the King. We finally see where Ororo snuck off with her pal last issue, as they move to outflank the Skrull army. Unfortunately, said pal was one of those Skrulls that hadn't been found, and captures Ororo. As the General brings her to Black Panther, T'Challa still stands defiant and ready to fight. Unfortunately, the other still-hidden Skrull stands behind T'Challa and takes him out. With a taser. At least it said "ZZZZTTT." *Sharpie Markers did not actually sponsor this column. However, if they'd like to, we'll gladly take their money, and shoe-horn more Sharpie references than you can count into the next one. Sharpie!

Researchers at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam have announced a breakthrough in the treatment of sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia. Both are inherited blood diseases which occur mainly in inhabitants of the Mediterranean region.
Sickle cell anaemia involves the incorrect synthesis of one of the globins which make up haemoglobin, while thalassaemia is similar except that too few globins are synthesized. Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells which enables them to carry oxygen around the body.
The researchers have discovered a way to manipulate haemoglobin in the laboratory to improve its performance. They based their method on research into a Maltese family with a genetic protein abnormality which enabled their blood to absorb and transport oxygen better than normal.
As a result patients will no longer need regular blood transfusions as they often do at present.

Morgan is a sci-fi/horror film that revolves around a young girl created in a lab from synthetic DNA. Morgan (played by The Witch's Anya Taylor-Joy), is seemingly a happy, brilliant young girl, who now, when provoked, seems to exhibit psychotic tendencies. Director Jake Scott, (son of legendary director, Ridley Scott who also serves as a producer here) attempts to make Morgan a complex character study which poses questions such as can Morgan be saved? Does Morgan really have human emotions or was she just pretending the whole time? Unfortunately, all Scott manages to produce is a mediocre slasher film.
Around two or three minutes after the opening of the film, Morgan is speaking with Dr. Kathy Grieff. Kathy says something that annoys Morgan, who proceeds to violently stab her in the eye. Almost this entire sequence, is shown in the trailer. Also, upon viewing this at the beginning, you can make a very educated guess as to what direction this movie is going to take. Lee Daniels (Kate Mara), a risk management consultant from corporate is called in to investigate the flaw in the company's prototype, and she must assess the prototype's risk against the potential of company profit.
The movie's main twist is given away in the first 10 minutes. After that you are basically paying for a low budget horror film that would probably be done better on Netflix. Morgan is advertised as sci-if as well as a psychological thriller, but in order for that concept to work, there must be suspense, and there is none. For the first forty-five minutes, there is a quite a bit of interaction between the characters. Character interaction that is supposed to make you understand why these people love Morgan so much and why the horrific stabbing should be considered an anomaly. But that does not happen at all. The interaction is all very banal. The only person who seems like they have a fully formed opinion on Morgan's fate is Lee Daniels, and she has only been there for a couple of days.
There is no question in the audience's mind if Morgan is crazy. An aspect that ruins any tension in this film. A key interaction between Morgan and another psychiatrist (Paul Giamatti) basically drives this point home. Although the scene is well-acted and Paul Giamatti is the best part of the movie, after that scene it is pretty much a countdown to when events will take an ugly turn.
Morgan is not the first of its genre (i.e. Ex-Machina, Splice) but it had the potential to the best. Morgan's character needed more compassion and humanity besides what was told about it in flashbacks. The supporting characters are so dumb, it is as if the director could not decide if he wanted the scientists to love Morgan or be afraid of her and it caused a lot of confusion in the last half. And if you want the audience to believe Morgan is a normal girl, maybe she should have looked like one. It would have been a lot more terrifying if Morgan was a cute blonde in normal clothes, but instead she was painted silver, wore nothing but sweats and stuck out like a sore thumb. She looked like a killer.
Morgan is an ok slasher film and that's about it. The performances are good, the cinematography was great and that's about it. While watching, you cannot help that this film had potential to be great with a couple of script rewrites and character tweaks. But at a short run time of ninety two minutes, its good for a rental.

Good morning! I love waking up to Montana's happy face on my easel, I can't help but smile back at him :- ) After a stationary bike ride, with a beautiful view overlooking the woods, breakfast and shower, I'll be back in my studio completing Montana.
Last May, we moved out of a large three bedroom house and into a cabin in the woods. I love it here, it's so peaceful and serene. I love walking in the woods. The Tall trees are so majestic, standing silently I'm embraced by their energy and I feel so tiny in the enormity of it all. Yet I know it is us who create our reality. We are so incredibly powerful, yet we know nothing of ourselves and how to utilize our powers for the good of the whole.
Marc built me a beautiful studio with a skylight right above my head. About 80% of the entire studio was built using recycled materials. Mostly with large windows. He paneled the walls with recycled fence boards and used them for the floors also. All my studio equipment was custom made with recycled materials, my palette table, my easel and my computer desk. All customized for my needs. I'm going to write a new article on 'How to set-up a Shabby Chic Oil Painting Studio for the DIY Artist' with new pictures of my studio with how to build a very functional easel with a slider, that takes up minimal space. How to build a palette table and many more Studio Hacks. I just have a few finishing touches to do and I'll be ready to share how we did it. Coming soon!
Have a wonderfully Productive day!
