May Tiktik sa Bubong, May Sigbin sa Silong, edited by the Filipino Department's own Allan N. Derain, was awarded Best Anthology in Filipino at the 37th National Book Awards last November. The anthology compiles fiction, poetry, comics, and academic research from over 20 different authors, resulting in an exhaustive study of the aswang and its place in Philippine history and culture. Apart from Derain's work, several other books authored by faculty from the School of Humanities were also honored: Best Novel in English was given to The Quiet Ones by Glenn Diaz, while Soledad S. Reyes received nominations for Retrieving the Past/Recuperating the Voice (Best Book of Literary Criticism/Literary History in English), and Rosario de Guzman-Lingat's The Locked Door (Best Translated Book).
Even amid accomplished company in its category, May Tiktik sa Bubong, May Sigbin sa Silong distinguishes itself through its multidisciplinary and multi-genre approach to a subject not always taken seriously. The book's featured authors include Alvin B. Yapan, Edgar Calabia Samar, Nick Joaquin (translated by Julz E. Riddle), and Severino Reyes, also known as Lola Basyang. Straight-faced scientific studies about the aswang's physiology and taxonomy are placed confidently next to darker or more whimsical examples of Filipino supernatural fiction. Derain intends for us to take fact with fantasy, to reevaluate what the aswang means.
For the anthology's starting point, the editor chooses not to begin with images of terrified townspeople, kidnapped children, or slain farm animals. He begins by positioning the aswang as the unassuming protagonist of its own story, shaken from its peaceful slumber by Spanish colonialism and attempts to appropriate it into a Christian narrative. Derain writes, in his introduction, "Subalit ang hindi na mababatid ng matandang aswang na ito, na siya at ang magiging salinlahi niya'y papalaot sa kasaysayan upang maging mga sagisag din na tulad ng krus[.]" The aswang here is innocent and neutral, transformed into a multipurpose tool.
Derain makes it clear that there is no one operational definition to what an aswang is. "[A]ng aswang bilang isang tekstong kultural ay parang halimaw na kimera: maraming ulo na mahirap mapaghiwalay sa mga katawan," he writes. For some, it may be a phenomenon used to maintain order and articulate fear. For others, the aswang may be closer in nature and aesthetic to the movie monsters of Hollywood. Still others choose to view it as the requisite villain in the Christian dichotomy of good and evil.
No matter how one perceives the aswang, what is refreshing about the book is that it is wholly unconcerned with challenging or debunking the existence of its central subject. "[A]ng mga paniniwala sa aswang ay tanda hindi ng pag-iral ng isang totoong aswang kundi ng mga panlipunan at pangkasaysayang penomenon," Derain writes. For him, the aswang is as indisputably real as any other force that shapes Filipino society. By affirming its place in our culture, May Tiktik sa Bubong, May Sigbin sa Silong opens the door to the possibility that perhaps anything can be considered an aswang, depending on how we see it.
Derain's anthology demands not only to be read, but also to be continuously interpreted. As the reader moves away from the early entries—learning about the organ structure of the manananggal and the various abilities that the aswang has displayed over the years—one finds that this research begins to inform one's perception of the succeeding stories, and one's newfound understanding of the aswang. What may have otherwise been just a series of horror stories are now part and parcel of an ethnographic study of the Filipino people, as told through the monsters and spirits that live among us.

Perhaps microbial aspect of MBR is the biggest interest of academic researchers perhaps due to its complexity. As a result there have been numerous research papers have been publish on this topic.
Microbial species found in the mixed liquor of MBR are basically same as those in conventional activated sludge (CAS) process, but they have some distinguished characteristics due to low F/M ratio, long SRT, and the perfect retention of non-floc forming microorganisms.
Relative to activated sludge process, particles are generally smaller in MBR than in CAS. One convincing explanation is that MBR does not lose non-floc forming bacteria so that those can grow without being washed out. On the contrary, non-floc forming bacteira can be easily lost through effluent in CAS while floc forming bacteria are selected and proliferate in the system.
Filamentous microorganisms tend to be more abundant in MBR. The cause is not completely clear, but it is popularly believed that filamentous microorganisms gain relative advantages over the other microorganisms at food-scarce environment due to their high surface to volume ratio, which allow better contact with foods. In one literature, filamentous population was one order of magnitude higher in MBR than in activated sludge (Merlo, 2004).
Zoogloea population tends to be low in MBR perhaps due to low F/M ratio, where foods are scarce.
Slowly-growing higher life forms such as rotifer, nematode, amoebas, ciliates, etc. are abundant in MBR due to the long SRT. The higher life forms consume fine particles that can be major membrane foulant. In one study, when sessile ciliates and free-swimming ciliates populations were high, population of particles smaller than 10 micron, especially the particles around 1 micron, were significantly reduced (Luxmy, 2000).
The high filamentous population does not necessarily mean high membrane fouling rates unless it comes with viscous bulking and severe foaming, where polysaccharides level rises possibly with a high zoogloea population. In fact, high SRT and low F/M ratio tend to increase filamentous population, but membrane fouling potential tends to decrease as discussed here. In contrast, in CAS excess filamentous population causes sludge bulking and interfere sludge settling.
Following are some microscopic images of MBR mixed liquor taken from municipal and industrial MBR.
Fig. 1. Abundant filamentous bacteria were observed at low F/M ratio, e.g <0.05 g COD/g MLSS/day. This mixed liquor had fairly low membrane fouling potential in a pilot study using synthetic feeds.
Fig. 2. The high salinity of the sludge (68 mS/cm vs. 48 mS/cm for seawater) prevents microorganisms from floc formation. Only a few species with distinguished appearances exist. This mixed liquor had extremely high membrane fouling potential and sustainable flux was below 5 LMH.
Fig. 3. Zoogloea population appeared connected with membrane fouling tendency in a municipal MBR plant. The lower the zoogloea population, the lower the membrane fouling tendency.
Fig. 4. Abundant filamentous and abundant higher life forms were observed from the mixed liquor from a municipal MBR.

Btc-cap is one of the platforms that FSMA recently warned. Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) has recently warned about fraudulent cryptocurrency trading platforms.
The agency also published a list of 19 crypto platforms it "has received questions or complaints from consumers about and has established indications of fraud," the agency wrote.
One of them is Btc-cap.
This platform is using the same methods to lure investors. They claim to offer the best (or one of the best) trading platforms on which, both beginners and professionals can trust and trade on instantly, the financial watchdog detailed.
Complaints include customers unable to reclaim their invested money and customers unable to contact the company once they have invested.
We found a lot of similar testimonials.
Currently, the website is in maintenance.
Investors should be wary of companies that claim to have a permit or license by a supervisory authority. And this one doesn't have so that currently no supervision is exercised on the online platform.
This platform doesn't provide clear and understandable information.
Always verify the identity of the company such as identity details, country of residence, etc.
And never trust a company if it cannot be clearly identified.
This platform for crypto trade promises a guaranteed return or full capital protection.
However, those promises are one big illusion in the crypto-coin sector!
If an offer is fraudulent, the promised guarantee is undoubtedly fraudulent too. Investors should be wary of promises of excessive profits.
Also, if a return seems too good to be true, it usually is fraud.
Stay far away from this! Red flag!

Literature and Language 641: Pivotal City and County Victorian Novels & Victorian Gothic
Day: Ten Monday early afternoons, 11:45 am to 1:15 pm

Dates: Classes start March 6th; last class May 8th, 2017.
We'll read 3 best-sellers: Gaskell's North and South (1855), Trollope's Framley Parsonage (1860), and Dickens's "The Signalman" (1866) plus Margaret Oliphant's ghost story, "The Library Window" (1896). Gaskell's "Tale of Manchester Life," published in Dickens's highly politicized and socially concerned Household Words, is a radical graphic tale of the life of factory workers, based on a strike and time of near starvation and unmitigated depression, and by a woman. Trollope's 4th Barsetshire concoction, commissioned by Thackeray at The Cornhill for its first series of issues made The Cornhill, which may be called the New Yorker of its day, enormously popular; Framley Parsonage was intensely as Downton Abbey: Gaskell said of it she wished he would go on writing it forever; she did not see why he should ever stop. FP, seen today also as a complacent pro-establishment book, is a Thackerayan ironic pleasure, wider ranging in its perspectives than is usually noted. Dickens's short story, unrivaled as a psychological study over a response to machinery from an old world and gothic perspective was the Christmas tale his periodical, All the Year Round, is autobiographical, and was in 1976 adapted into a gem of a BBC film by Andrew Davies. Oliphant's "Library Window" was serialized in Blackwood's and is a self-reflexive account of authorship. We'll explore how these fictions intersect with one another, mirror their shared era, and connect to our own.

Trollope's Small House at Allington: Another summer syllabus
Posted in 19th century novels, literary scholarly work, novels of sensibility, romance, social criticism, Teaching, Trollope, tagged 19th century art, Anthony Trollope, Barsetshire, book illustrations, heroine's text, syllabus on June 8, 2016| 5 Comments »
Vignette for "Mr Crosbie meets an old clergyman on his way to Courcy Castle" (John Everett Millais, Chapter 6 of The Small House at Allington)
The Oscher LifeLong Learning Institute at George Mason University
Day: 6 Wednesdays, 11:50 am to 1:15 pm, Tallwood, 4210 Roberts Road, Fairfax
Dates: June 15 – July 20.
Trollope's own late map of Barsetshire, which indicates where to place Allington (look at top lefthand corner: Allington is between Silverbridge station and Guestwick Village)
Barsetshire 5: Trollope's Small House at Allington
Geroulds' map of Allington
We will read The Small House at Allington and Trollope's short story, "The Parson's Daughter at Oxney Colne." Rumor hath it (she isn't always treacherous) this ripely-mature psychologically subtle novel is still cited when someone asks, "Which Trollope novel should I read first?", and it's one that has never fallen out of print. I encourage those who take this course to first watch the 1983 BBC mini-series, Barchester Chronicles and read Dr Thorne (Barsetshire 3) before the course begins. Alas the recent ITV mini-series, Dr Thorne (by Julian Fellowes is poor and Framley Parsonage (Barsetshire 4) has never been filmed. Trollope himself resisted including The Small House in the first publication of the whole Barsetshire series, so an attempt will be made to see the book in the context of his wider oeuvre, and time permits but one great relevant short story of the parson's daughter (set in Devonshire), will enable us to see its themes more clearly from the different setting. The usual Barsetshire semi-comic resolution in both The Small House and "The Parson's Daughter" is derailed entirely with the London world so aggressive that the conflicts in failure and price of success for a kind of existence (wealthy, powerful, prestigious) rip apart the earlier fractured pastoral world – for our uncomfortable contemporary consideration. We will also have Millais's delicately beautiful illustrations to look at. Please have read "The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne" before term begins. 6 weeks.

Framley Parsonage has been looked at as the crucial novel which transformed Trollope's career and made him a central novelist for Victorian middle-class readers. The novel was felt to give "a strong impression of life as it was really lived at the time." Elizabeth Gaskell, a fellow novelist, wrote: "I wish Mr Trollope would go on writing Framley Parsonage forever, and as serialized in the Cornhill, illustrations by John Everett Millais, it helped make the magazine: "How good this Cornhill Magazine is!" Elizabeth Barrett Browning exclaimed, "Anthony Trollope is really superb." We will look at novel, its illustrations, its place in Trollope's life and career, how it anticipates Trollope's next famous series, The Pallisers. 6 weeks.

The Poldark Novels in Context: A Syllabus
Posted in 18th century, 18th century novels, Film adaptations, historical fiction, mini-series, Poldark, Teaching, TV, Winston Graham, tagged Cornwall, syllabus on February 15, 2015| 22 Comments »
Winston Graham and Garrick, still a puppy, at Perranporth Beach
Day: Ten Monday afternoons, 1 to 2:50 pm, Temple Baptist Church
Dates: Classes start Mar 2nd; last day May 4th.
In this course we'll read Winston Graham's first three Poldark novels: Ross Poldark, Demelza, Jeremy Poldark. These plus a fourth, Warleggan, were the novels adapted for the first season of televised Poldark (1974-75), and the matter for the coming Poldark mini-series (to be televised in the UK starting March 2015 and on American PBS channels starting in June 2015). They represent the first phase of a 12 novel roman fleuve, a regional romance continuing story, deeply researched and imaginatively realized historical novels moving from the time of the American and then French revolution and reform and politically radical movements in England to just after the end of the Napoleonic era, including the realities of county politics, mining, banking, smuggling (known locally as free trade) and farming in Cornwall. Written 1945-52, the first four mirror issues of the post World-War II world, are proto-feminist, with a deeply appealing group of characters from all classes in a realistic and romantic suspenseful stories. We will read four short essays on historical culture, Cornwall, and sex and politics in the novels, and see two episodes of the 1975-77 mini-series. It is suggested that students read one of Graham's mysteries before the class begins. I choose The Forgotten Story [alternative title: The Wreck of the Grey Cat] since it is also set in Cornwall (1898), was written around the time of Ross Poldark, and filmed as a BBC mini-series (1983). Graham won many awards (he's OBE) and praise from the literary establishment for his mysteries, several of which were filmed by Hitchcock (e.g., Marnie); many of his novels were US Book-of-the-Month Club selections.
Required Texts. Students are asked to bring a copy of the novel and/or essays we are discussing for the week to class. An online copy, a pdf and 2 Xeroxes of the (short) essays are provided; any edition of the books will do.

Then the classes. This is the binder:

public class RestAppBinder extends AbstractBinder {
    @Override
    protected void configure() {
        bind(RESTful.class).to(RESTful.class);

}

This is the Resource Config:
package com.rold.industry.rest;

import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig;

public class MyApplication extends ResourceConfig {
    public MyApplication() {
        register(new RestAppBinder());
        packages(true, "com.rold.industry.rest");
    }
}

And this is the class which expose the methods:
@Path("RESTfulService")
public class RESTful {

    @GET
    @Path("/Dipendente/{id}")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public String getEmployeeName(@PathParam("id") String id){
        String accessToken = "";
        try {
            accessToken = ApiCaller.getAccessToken();
        } catch (UnirestException e) {
            System.out.println("Errore");
        }
        Unirest.setDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);
        Employee employee = EmployeeApi.getInstance().getEmployeeById(new Integer(id));
        return employee.getName();
    }
}

Does anybody have clues on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Francesco

A: I suggest you check dependency conflicts before packaging. It's easy to apply in maven projects.
mvn enforcer:enforce
Before, add this maven plugin;
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M3</version>
<configuration>
    <rules>
        <dependencyConvergence />
    </rules>
</configuration>
</plugin>

These breakfast recipes may give you some ideas if you're tired of cereal and milk.
Breakfast is an important meal of the day. Why? Simple! Because it gives you the energy to get out the door to work or school in a good mood. You won't be able to focus and go about your morning properly without breakfast.
It's easy to get caught up in today's busy world. Cereal and milk is not the only quickie breakfast. I personally like the fruit alternative. Have an apple, orange or banana before you head out the door.
When you have time to prepare breakfast, like on a weekend or a holiday, look through these recipes for some ideas. You don't have to prepare them in the morning either. Sometimes it's just good to make it at night and refrigerate so it'll be ready in the morning if you're pressed for time or don't really feel like cooking in the morning.

Why SRE Should Focus on Pleasure
I was incredibly lucky with my sex education in school. Sexual health professionals were brought in to ensure that the information we were receiving was accurate and relevant which meant that abstinence wasn't forced on us, LGBT issues were discussed and we were given free STI tests to take home with us.
Having gone to a state school myself, I was surprised to find out that this wasn't typical of Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) across the country. More often than not, SRE guidelines are not being implemented and our sex education is being massively undervalued. In fact, I would argue that even my above-average SRE was lacking in that it didn't promote how fun and enjoyable sex can (and should) be.
What is being taught in SRE?
If you take a look at the Secretary of State's Sex and Relationships Education Guidance you'll see that the main issues that the government want to be discussed in SRE are puberty, menstruation, contraception, abortion and STIs – all important issues that I'm glad to have learned about from an early age. However, especially in my own experience, there's also a lot of emphasis on the reproductive system – labelling it, understanding its processes and functions as well as how these change during pregnancy.
One thing that didn't raise any alarm bells in my head at the time (but definitely does now) is that we never talked about external sex organs. To this day, I have friends that think that "vulva" and "vagina" are synonyms and that most females have two genital orifices – not three. Even now, I have friends who don't know where their own clitoris is. Nobody thought to tell us about the only organ in the human body whose sole purpose is to give sexual pleasure. None of us were ever told that we were meant to find sex pleasurable.
My male friends had similar experiences. Their SRE lessons were almost entirely based around changes they would experience during puberty and their overall health growing up: nocturnal emissions, body hair, mental health and sexual orientation. Yet with 93% of males under the age of 18 watching porn, where male genital enhancement surgery is more than common, not once were realistic body image expectations discussed in SRE. Because of this, so many young people are faced with feelings of sexual inadequacy and shame because they believe that their bodies are below-average.
Porn also promotes ideas of reaching orgasm via penetration leading our society to become obsessed with penis-in-vagina sex. When 70% of women can only orgasm via clitoral stimulation and the majority of the remaining 30% are being clitorally stimulated, our beliefs surrounding the "vaginal" orgasm couldn't be less accurate. So, more often than not, when young people are watching porn and believing that this is how sexual pleasure is meant to be achieved, they're being left with unrealistic expectations and unsatisfactory sex. This idea applies to all sexual partners (regardless of their genitalia): if we're not teaching about the sexual pleasure of all people, partners struggle to know how to give someone else pleasure.
Why is this a problem?
Since the 1950s, when the contraceptive pill was put on the market, the role sex plays in our adult lives has come to be intrinsically linked to feeling pleasure. Sex no longer has to lead to pregnancy and statistics show that the vast majority of people having sex in our society are doing so without the intention of getting pregnant. We're doing so to feel closer to one another and, ultimately, to orgasm – to feel good.
However, the belief that having sex for the first time is painful is one that runs riot in schools. The idea that you will bleed or that 'sex is terrible until your twenties' is consistently perpetuated by the media and consistently not addressed in SRE. Whilst it is true that sex can (and does) hurt for many people for a variety of different reasons (stress, hormonal changes and sex that is too rough to name a few), we shouldn't let it be an expectation or a norm.
Women in particular are particularly vulnerable to these myths as they constantly hear that they should expect to bleed during sex and that the female orgasm is "rare." By allowing young people to believe that sex hurts, we are setting them up for unhealthy relationships with one another and with their bodies. By ignoring the pleasure-giving nature of sex, we're perpetuating old-fashioned attitudes towards sex and leading young people (young girls especially) that their own sexual satisfaction is unachievable.
In addition to this, by teaching sex education through the lens of reproduction, we're choosing to ignore the sexual behaviour of so many people across the UK. The LGBT+ community, post-menopausal females, those who are unable to conceive : are their sexual experiences irrelevant? If we're trying to give "inclusive" SRE to young people, this must be addressed.
So, how should we be teaching SRE?
SRE lessons are a brilliant platform that should be used to promote the wellbeing of young people.
The most important message that we can get across to them is sex-positivity: open and tolerant attitudes towards sex; a big part of which should be that sex should feel good. I also believe that there are ways of doing this without actively encouraging sexual behaviour in young people: the idea that sex is pleasurable should be firmly attached to ideas of respect, maturity and fighting peer pressure.
In addition, SRE lessons offer us a way to give people the power to combat their sexual difficulties. For example, we should acknowledge reasons as to why someone might experience pain in relation to sex and we should give them advice and solutions to combat this.
In doing this, in teaching young people that sex should be a healthy and enjoyable part of a relationship, we can give them the power to have positive relationships and fulfilling sex lives if and when the time comes.

**NON-SPOILERS AND SCORE AT THE BOTTOM**
I'm gonna give it to you straight, folks: New York City really blows right now. I suppose its got the same tourist stuff that's always enticed the grazers, but if you're looking for a livable city and you're not an investment banker or accruing extra money through graft, I'd say you could skip it. Most of the cool, affordable places are gone, the outer boroughs are becoming as expensive as Manhattan used to be (and Manhattan real estate is obscenely overblown), and it's become a veritable police state with a real antagonistic relationship between cops and citizens. Mayor DiBlasio is a real old-time New York mayor in the tradition of many other glad handing fake-outs that talked big and did very little. What this city needs, in actuality, is Harley and her gang, to come cause a little chaos and mayhem and shake the coke-fueled blatherati out of their reverie. A fella can dream, can't he? Until a bunch of leather-clad chicks do ride down Fifth Avenue whipping chains and spiked maces like something out of the Road Warrior, we've got issue #2 of Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys, which you will find I've reviewed if you read on!
Isn't it always the way? You stage a fake kidnapping of yourself in order to motivate and galvanize your gang of do-gooders, and wind up actually getting kidnapped by some wacko who puts the families of your gang members to shame. That's what happened to Harley last issue, at the hands of the enigmatic and kind of gross Harley Sinn, a woman with a bunch of facial tattoos and a haircut like Betty Boop. Now Harley's in a warehouse with a bunch of assassins hired by Sinn to take out each member of Harley Quinn's gang, minus one that Sinn had to kill for disobeying orders. Still, Harley Sinn goes forward with her plan to send one assassin to each member of the gang and kill them. Seems like a really, really stupid plan that is bound to encounter way too many variables, but what do I know? Back at Coney Island, Coach and Big Tony are acting as a hub for the Harleys (I think I'll call it…Harleys Hub), who have each gone to their families and ascertain the threats against them, implied last issue when Sinn revealed she had cameras on all of them. First is Bolly Quinn, who goes to see her mom and grandma at their Indian restaurant (awesomely named "Tandoori 2 Die 4") and packs them off to somewhere in Astoria, where they will be safe for some reason. Then…though it's actually twenty minutes earlier, Harvey Quinn is being harassed outside some biker bar, and he beats the hell out of two bikers when they knock over an old lady trying to intervene. He puts his visiting Midwestern parents up at a hotel and checks in with Coach, who tells him to rendezvous with Bolly at the restaurant. At this location, one of Sinn's assassins is there but she tells him to pull back as well…almost as if she realizes this plan sucks!
Uptown, Harlem Quinn is spied by another of Sinn's minions (Let's call them…Sinnions), but before he can murder Sinn instructs him to fall back as well. Pissed at missing his opportunity, he's about to cut up a bunch of bystanders when Harlem drop kicks him in the head. Then there's this really funny sequence where the bystanders try to get rid of the killer's unconscious form that results in his grisly death. I like this, I said the plan was stupid and here, it's proving to be stupid. Not like I would have pegged Harley Sinn to be the organized type to being with. Harlem likewise gets instructions to meet Bolly and Harvey down at the restaurant. Over in Flushing (Reggie's birthplace!), Harley Queens checks in on her parents, and finding them in good health and needling as usual, calls Coach to get steered downtown to the same restaurant as the others. When Queens leaves, we see that Sinn's assassin has been behind one of the couches in the living room the whole time! Which freaked me out a little because the first scary movie I ever saw was When a Stranger Calls, and I still can't watch it to this day. Same deal happens with Carli Quinn in the Bronx, except there's no killer stalking her since that was the one Harley Sinn killed in the beginning. So now everyone in the Gang of Harleys, save for Coach, has convened at Bolly Quinn's parents' restaurant, and all of Harley Sinn's people, except for the two that died, are across the street on a rooftop. Sinn wheels a bound and gagged Harley to a Brooklyn rooftop, presumably just across the East River from the restaurant, to dig into this long-winded villain speech that is really not that bad, but maybe a little too much preamble for the obvious rocket launched into the restaurant by one of the Sinnions across the way!
So this issue was pretty reminiscent of last issue: little vignettes of each gang member traipsing through their preferred part of New York City, this time saving their friends and family instead of procrastinating in looking for Harley Quinn. Still, I enjoyed it—the little diversions with Harvey and Harlem served to liven things up, and I did feel a little bit like yelling, "Don't you all go to that restaurant! You're gonna get killed!" at the comic book as I read it. But I didn't. Instead I spoke to the comic in soft, cooing tones like I always do. "Who's a good comic book? Yes, you are! You're a very good comic book!" This is a Palmiotti-derived Harley Quinn book, so guess what? The artwork is great (and the same team as last time, incidentally) and the plotting is expertly, uh, plotted. It was a little heavy on exposition and a little light on story, but the high quality and few good quips make this a worthwhile read for any extant fan of Harley Quinn.
There should be a warning label on the cover of this book: DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU ALREADY LIKE THE MAIN BOOK. I wouldn't expect people to just pick up the miniseries, but it takes all types in this world. If you are a fan of Harley Quinn, then I think you will enjoy this book quite a lot, because it's not short on the main Quinn herself, and has enough thrills and laughs to act as a good supplement to Harley's expanding continuity. This issue could have done with less talky and more punchy, but I enjoyed it enough and look forward to see what's in store for the Gang next issue!

What This Liberal Thug Did To A 10yr Old Girl For Not Wearing Mask Is Beyond Sickening!
A Colorado school bus driver is no longer employed and facing criminal charges after video was captured of the driver slapping a 10-year-old girl for not properly wearing her mask.
Jaquez Bertram Armand, 63, was captured on surveillance cameras hitting the girl in April in Fremont County.
According to the video obtained by the outlet depicts Jaquez was arguing with the girl and demanding she wears her mask correctly. When she resists, he slaps her.
In a handwritten statement, the girl recounted the incident for herself explaining that she didn't want to wear the mask because it made her feel sick. She explained that after she had been slapped, she demanded to be let off the bus, but Jaquez kept driving.
The Fremont County School District also issued a statement explaining that Jaquez was fired:
We believe it is never okay to lay a hand on a child. The District responded quickly to the situation by placing the driver on administrative leave so that we could fully investigate the incident. Local police were involved during the investigation as well as us being in contact with the child's family. The driver's action justified termination of employment, as it goes against District policy and our values.
We are very saddened by this incident. Our goal every day is to transport students safely to school and back home, but that can only happen when everyone, including students and staff, follows the rules. We are currently working to identify next steps to help our drivers with strategies designed to support a safe ride to and from school.
Jaquez is facing misdemeanor charges, including harassment, assault causing injury, and child abuse, according to KKTV.
Masks for children have proven controversial, though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends children aged 2 and older wear them. Several states, such as Florida and Texas, have gotten rid of face mask mandates, and other states are expected to do so this summer.

Anyone who has always wanted to be a train driver will have the opportunity to realize this dream with the Train Simulator 2019, even if this happens only virtually.
The first release of the Train Simulator dates back to many years ago and was developed by Kuju, the Microsoft Train Simulator development studio. In 2007, the European version of the Rail Simulator, published by Electronic Arts, was released.
Meanwhile, the Train Simulator becomes a company fan community among young and old players. Not surprising, since the simulation still looks the same in the latest version and offers a corresponding amount of simulation. Let's Plays this simulation and our fans as fans.
The game offers, how much money you want to spend yourself to pursue many possibilities of his hobby. There are many routes and trains from all over the world modeled. France, England or America, there is something for everyone. If the distances are not sufficient, you can build the corresponding tasks. In the meantime, many third-party developers have set themselves the task of providing new content.
One downside, however, is the popularity of this simulation. The developers of the routes and locomotives do their job very well. So it happens that you can pay for an electric locomotive up to 38 euros. If you no longer want to buy, you would have to dig deep into your pocket and put a sum of a middle-class car on the table. In addition, who does that? Basically, you buy only that, was a promise. We have defined a German material from the editorial office and are now around 500 Euro.
However, apart from the price, the Train Simulator is easily accessible and accessible for driving enjoyment.
Control over the keyboard and mouse or gamepad is just as easy to learn, the graphics still look very good for the current standards and the sound of the locomotives is reproduced realistically.
The Train Simulator convince despite the many, expensive add ons.
