When Superstorm Sandy hit, residents of the Red Hook Houses, the largest public housing development in Brooklyn with over 7,000 residents, struggled without power and clean water for almost a month. Instead of waiting for help, residents and civic groups transformed themselves from storm victims to storm responders. Meet the local leaders who are stepping up to the plate and taking emergency preparedness into their own hands including installing and expanding a free, solar-powered Wi-Fi network to make sure that communication is always possible when disaster strikes. With climate change, sea level rise, and another superstorm always threats, they're making sure that Red Hook is hooked up.

'Games' reaps top box office numbers
Justin Marietti
"The Hunger Games" utterly destroyed the competition at the box office its opening weekend with a staggering $214 million worldwide, and $155 million in North America.
This opening marks the third highest weekend debut of all time, with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "The Dark Knight" claiming the top two spots, and stands as the highest for any film opening outside of the typical summer blockbuster months.
However, a great deal of the hype surrounding this film stems from a successful book series that preceded the movie.
Despite its excellent storyline, "The Hunger Games" was a really good movie that came just short of being a great movie.
In the environment of "The Hunger Games," the world as we know it no longer exists.
The story follows a civilization named Panem, which is divided into 12 districts.
Every year, each district conducts a selection process called a "reaping." Two competitors, a boy and a girl between the age of 12 and 18, take part in a battle of survival.
The "games" are actually a fight to the death until the last girl or boy is standing. The entire contest is filmed live and aired on television for the world to see.
The protagonist of the story is Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), a 16-year-old girl whose only concern in life is taking care of her younger sister, Primrose (Willow Shields).
Everdeen resides with her mother and sister in District 12, one of the poorest districts in all of Panem.
Everdeen tries desperately to assure her sister that everything will be alright.
However, Primrose is the first to be selected at the reaping. Frantic to protect her sister, Katniss offers to take her place as "tribute" to the Capitol.
The male selected to represent District 12 is Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), a boy from the wealthier part of the district. And with that, the "athletes" meet their mentors, and preparations for the 74th annual Hunger Games begin.
Not only do these 24 tributes have to consider that the next few weeks might be their last, but they also have to try and impress potential "sponsors" in order to help their chances of survival.
Easily the strongest quality of the "Hunger Games" story is the strategy that one must use in order to endure this harsh and unpredictable world built for television.
There are many different ways to approach the situation but very few will actually keep the competitors alive.
Unfortunately, whenever an action sequence took place, I found myself squinting at the screen. Now, the estimated budget for this film was around $100 million.
I can't help but wonder why they couldn't have spent some of that money training actors and stunt doubles to actually learn how to perform stunts instead of just shaking the camera incessantly and calling it "action."
Much like we see on reality TV shows, alliances form among the competitors. The few who made it through the initial massacre and weren't lucky enough to be in an alliance find themselves having to work together if they want to survive.
I have to confess, I didn't read the Suzanne Collins book that this film was based on.
As a movie, "The Hunger Games" was an entertaining and thought-provoking satire of the modern world that could have been a first rate film if the director had just done his job during the battle scenes.
I simply cannot stand this shakey-cam plague that has overtaken Hollywood directors.
The rest of the movie looks absolutely stunning; I don't understand why they decide to ruin all that with sub-par action sequences.
There has already been a lot of controversy over this movie because certain people feel it isn't accurate as a visual portrayal of the book.
As a matter of fact, when a girl in the audience behind me saw the mockingjay pin for the first time, she said, "That's not what it looks like!"
However, I happened to notice when the credits rolled that one of the screenwriters for this film was Collins, the author of the book. Personally, I'll take her word for it.
After seeing this movie, I am willing to admit I am interested in reading the books and watching the subsequent sequels that are almost certain to come after such a massive statement at the box office.

Useful and Interesting Facts about the Greenhouse Effect
Environmental Science / By Brekke Bounds / Weather, Climate Change & Global Warming
The greenhouse effect is a very important process on the planet Earth. Without the greenhouse effect life as we know it would not exist on this planet. Understanding the basics are very simple if you know the proper facts of the greenhouse effect, even if it seems like a complicated process.
Greenhouse Effect Overview
The greenhouse effect is a process where energy that comes from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere and helps to warm the planet.
When energy from the Sun enters the Earth's atmosphere and hits the surface of the planet, 49% is absorbed into rocks, buildings, water and other parts of the surface of the Earth.
The Earth then emits that energy back into the atmosphere. Gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone are called greenhouse gases and trap that energy. These gases then emit heat energy in both directions, meaning that some of that energy heads back to earth while the rest of it rebounds all the way into space. The energy that is trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases warms our air and makes life on this planet possible.

Greenhouse Effect Facts
Radiation from the Sun enters the atmosphere primarily as shortwave radiation or visible light. Much of that radiation is absorbed by the Earth and reemitted as long-wave infrared radiation or heat energy. Visible light passes fairly easily through the atmosphere, while much of the heat energy is trapped by greenhouse gases. If the atmosphere was as transparent to heat energy as it is to visible light, the Earth's surface would be more than 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler than it is now.
Because greenhouse gases effectively cycle heat energy between the atmosphere and the planet, the amount of energy emitted from the Earth's surface is 30 percent higher than the incoming visible light from the sun.
The greenhouse effect keeps the Earth's temperature on average at about 13 to 15 degrees Celsius (or between 55 and 59 degrees Fahrenheit).
The term greenhouse effect was first suggested by Joseph Fourier in the 1820s when he posited that the Earth's atmosphere must act as an insulator since the Earth was positioned so far from the Sun.
The Greenhouse Effect and Climate Change
The greenhouse effect plays a very important role in the concept of climate change and global warming. As mentioned above, the greenhouse effect helps to trap the Sun's energy keeping our planet warm enough to be habitable for our carbon-based life system. The greenhouse gases that make that energy capture possible can also cause climate change if they are present in excessive amounts. The more greenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere, the more heat energy is reflected back to the Earth.
This means that the excessive addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere from industry, volcanic activity, motor vehicles and the reduction of surface vegetation can have a noticeable impact on the temperature and climate of our planet as well as on our way of life.
The greenhouse effect is a very important part of the ecosystem on the planet Earth and by having a good understanding of these greenhouse effect facts and the gases that drive it, we can make positive changes as individuals, nations and as a planet to keep climate change at a minimum.

Longtime Rep. John Conyers will appear on the primary ballot for his own re-election attempt after all, following a successful last-ditch appeal to a judge about the constitutionality of a Michigan election law.
Update: Longtime Rep. John Conyers will appear on the primary ballot for his own re-election attempt after all, following a successful last-ditch appeal to a judge on the matter.
Federal Judge Matthew Leitman's order, WXYZ reported, overrides the Michigan Secretary of State Elections Division's determination from earlier today that the Representative did not have enough valid signatures to appear on the primary ballot. Without Leitman's intervention, Conyers would have needed to run as a write-in candidate.
Original Post: Longtime Rep. John Conyers lost his appeal to a decision that took his name off of Michigan's primary ballot for his current seat in the House. Conyers, if re-elected, would be the longest-serving current member of Congress. The current longest-serving member of Congress, Rep. John Dingell also of Michigan, will retire at the end of this term.
How did the longtime Democratic Representative end up in this position? It has to do with Michigan's strict laws governing who may appear on an election ballot. This year, Conyers faced a primary challenger: Rev. Horace Sheffield, from Detroit. Both Sheffield and Conyers had to collect a certain number of valid signatures in order to get a spot on the August 5 primary ballot. At first, it looked like both had succeeded. That is, until Sheffield challenged the validity of several of Conyers's signature collectors, on the grounds that they may not have been registered voters at the time they were working for the campaign. It's a strange rule, but it's still the rule. As it turns out, two of Conyers's signature collectors didn't meet that requirement, meaning that all of the signatures they collected — including those deemed as valid signatures from voters in the 13th district — were invalidated.
Then, the Wayne County Clerk's office announced that without those signatures, Conyers's campaign didn't have enough to make it on the ballot: "I am bound by the current laws and statutes of the State of Michigan that set forth very specific and narrow instructions regarding candidate petitions and the authority of the County Clerk," Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett said earlier in May. Conyers had the right under Michigan law to appeal to the Michigan Secretary of State, but that appeal did not go in his favor.


Here are some more panels that appeared in "Memos from Gurney Williams". Mr Williams was, among other things, Cartoon Editor of LOOK magazine in the 1950's, and he published a monthly "Memos" to be picked up and read by the cartoonists who visited him on Wednesday, which was Cartoon "Look Day". For more details, see my previous postings on the subject in "Eli's Corner".
Anyway, here are three more "How Not to Get an Okay" panels by Stan Fine, two panels of "The Rat Race" by Jack Tippit and last, but certainly not least, a VIP (Virgil Partch). These all involved cartoonists commenting on this crazy business of magazine gag cartooning. More to come in future postings.
Five years later, in 1995, I re-drew this gag, changed the caption from "fax" to "email", and sold it to The Wall Street Journal. I'm fairly certain that WSJ rejected this version. Go figure.
I guess it pays to keep up with messaging technology -- I fully expect to see a similar cartoon in the future with the words "text message" substituted in the caption, but I won't be doing it.


Georgia Healthcare Group PLC ("GHG") announces that two members of the senior management of GHG's pharma business, Mr. Enriko Beridze and Mr. Mikheil Abramidze, who were the principal shareholders of JSC ABC Pharmacia ("ABC") prior to its acquisition by GHG, together with a former minority shareholder of ABC (together the "former shareholders of ABC") have completed the purchase of 833,160 GHG shares (representing approximately 0.7% of GHG's issued share capital) from BGEO Investments (65% shareholder of GHG) on 17 March 2017. Given the volume of the shares involved, a private sale on an arms-length and commercial basis was selected as the most appropriate form for the transaction by both parties.
This purchase is in line with the terms of Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") between ABC and GHG, which requires the former shareholders of ABC to use 33% of the cash consideration they receive from GHG (total of US$25 million, payable in six tranches) to purchase GHG PLC's shares. The price of GHG shares purchased by the former shareholders of ABC from BGEO Investments was GBP 3.60 (USD 4.45), being the closing price per share on the London Stock Exchange the day before the transaction. After the sale, BGEO Investments continues to own 64.3% of GHG.


Culture Secretary Karen Bradley has said she is now "minded" to refer the proposed takeover of Sky by 21st Century Fox to the competition watchdog both on media plurality and broadcasting standards grounds.
Bradley said she had changed her mind on a broadcasting standards referral after seeking further advice from communications regulator Ofcom following new evidence.
Fox controlling shareholder Rupert Murdoch is attempting to buy the remaining 61 per cent of Sky he doesn't already own in a deal worth £11.7bn. According to Ofcom deal would give Sky/News Corp the third-largest total reach of any UK news provider (behind the BBC and ITN).
Bradley said she had received 43,000 representations (of which 30 were substantive) about the takeover bid. Her decision to refer to the CMA on broadcasting standards goes against advice from Ofcom.
The MP for Staffordshire Moorlands said: "In its original report Ofcom stated that: 'We consider that there are no broadcasting concerns that may justify a reference.' At the time Ofcom appeared to be unequivocal.
She added: "The first concern was raised in Ofcom's public interest report that Fox did not have adequate compliance procedures in place for the broadcast of Fox News in the UK and only took action to improve its approach to compliance after Ofcom expressed concerns.
"Ofcom has now confirmed it considers this to raise non-fanciful concerns but which are not sufficiently serious to warrant referral. I consider that these non-fanciful concerns do warrant further consideration.
Fox now has ten working days to respond to Bradley's "minded to" decision. After which time she will make her final decision on whether or not to refer the merger to the competition watchdog.
Shadow Culture Secretary Tom Watson welcomed Bradley's change of mind over broadcasting standards concerns and also criticised Ofcom.
"I think it's the first time a minster in the current government has ever stood in the way of what the Murdoch's want and frankly not before time – so well done," he said.
"The statement does reflect a failure on the part of Ofcom. In the first report which said that there were no broadcasting concerns that would have prompted a reference they have since admitted that there are non-fanciful concerns and on that basis she had to refer the bid and she has done so.
In a statement, 21st Century Fox said: "Ofcom, the expert independent regulator on UK broadcasting, undertook a robust and rigorous review of our commitment to the Broadcast Code, concluding 21st Century Fox and Sky have records of compliance consistent with other comparable license holders, including the Public Service Broadcasters.
"We are therefore disappointed that the Secretary of State has chosen not to follow the unequivocal advice of the independent regulator, which is the expert body tasked with enforcing the Broadcast Code.
"As the correspondence between DCMS and Ofcom makes clear, we do not believe that there are grounds for the Secretary of State to change her previous position.
"21st Century Fox has engaged with the regulatory process relating to this transaction since the outset and will continue to do so.
"We are surprised that after independent regulatory scrutiny and advice, and over four months to examine the case, the Secretary of State is still unable to form an opinion. We urge the Secretary of State to take a final decision quickly.
Last month 21st Century Fox stopped broadcasting Fox News on Sky in the UK after 15 years, claiming it averaged "only a few thousand viewers across the day".

Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound 2015;56:609-616.
Tracheal hypoplasia is commonly seen in English Bulldogs affected with brachycephalic airway syndrome. Previously published diagnostic criteria for tracheal hypoplasia in this breed have been a radiographic tracheal diameter:tracheal inlet ratio (TD:TI) < 0.12 or a tracheal diameter:third rib diameter ratio (TD:3R) < 2.0. Computed tomography has become increasingly used for airway evaluation, however published information is lacking regarding CT tracheal dimensions in English Bulldogs. Objectives of this prospective cross-sectional study were to describe radiographic and CT tracheal dimensions in a sample of clinically normal English Bulldogs and compare these values with tracheoscopy scores. Computed tomography (n = 40), radiography (n = 38), and tracheoscopy (n = 40) studies were performed during a single general anesthesia session for each included dog. Tracheal measurements were recorded at three locations: cervical, thoracic inlet, and thorax. Tracheal diameters were narrowest at the thoracic inlet with all techniques. Computed tomographic measurements averaged 19% greater than radiographic measurements. All included dogs had radiographic tracheal measurements greater than the previously published criteria for tracheal hypoplasia. Mean CT TD:TI was 0.26 (± 0.03, 0.20–0.33), and mean CT TT:3R was 2.27 (± 0.24, 1.71–2.74). Radiographic TD:TI and CT TD:TI were significantly correlated (P = 0.00); however radiographic TT:3R and CT TT:3R were not significantly correlated (P = 0.25). Tracheoscopy identified hypoplastic changes in all dogs and tracheoscopy scores were not correlated with CT or radiography diameter measurements. In conclusion, findings indicated that some CT and radiographic tracheal diameter measurements were comparable in English Bulldogs however diameters for both imaging techniques were not comparable with tracheoscopy scores.

Reebok designs performance version of Hillary Clinton's pantsuit
Reebok's concept pantsuits for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
Reebok has reimagined US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's infamous pantsuit using its high-tech performance materials ahead of the final presidential debate tonight.
In both a marketing move and a statement of its allegiance for the election, the brand is positioning the three-look line as one that will help Clinton survive the heat of the battle, much like its elite athletes have to endure. The concept suits would be crafted from Reebok's proprietary ActivChill fabric, a unique ventilation technology built with irregular, pentagon-shaped fibres, the team explains, all of which is designed to increase air flow through the fabric so the body stays cool and focused.
Reebok's senior director of brand management, Inga Stenta said: "We wanted to imagine a collection of pantsuits that highlighted power and strength. Women like Clinton are tough and unapologetic. Although we don't often see candidates sweat, the bright lights of the debate and the pressure of the national stage can raise temperatures. Performance wear seems to be the perfect choice for situations like this.
Also thrown into the suggested designs is an on-trend jumpsuit, cape and mesh neckline. The brand's existing Dance Strappy Bra also makes an appearance. Clinton actually wore a Ralph Lauren pantsuit for the last debate.

Hilda Solis on Welfare & Poverty
Democratic Representative (CA-32)
Voted YES on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers.
Voting YES on this amendment would add $70 million to the Section 8 housing voucher program, funding an additional 10,000 affordable housing vouchers.
Proponents of the amendment say:
This amendment would enable an additional 10,000 low-income families to afford safe, decent housing.
To offset this increase, the amendment cuts a poorly managed computer upgrade program. The committee has been very ingenious in squirreling away money in different accounts and the bill would still provide $94 million in funds for IT projects.
We have a choice: Do we want to help thousands of families obtain affordable housing, or do we think it is more important to have a somewhat faster computer upgrade in HUD?
Our amendment does not seek to restore the amount to the amount that the President recommended, which is $144 million more than the committee recommends, it seeks merely to restore $70 million, or about half of what the difference is to what the President recommended.
This is less than the bare minimum of what is needed. We have hundreds of thousands of families on waiting lists, waiting up to 10 years for decent housing for Section 8 vouchers.
Opponents say:
The existing bill fully funds the renewal of Section 8 vouchers. Additional funds are simply not necessary.
The cost of Section 8 vouchers are remaining constant and in some markets are actually decreasing. As such, this funding level will provide funds to restore vouchers that may have been lost in recent years.
The proposed reduction will cause delays in critically needed efforts to modernize antiquated legacy computer systems.

States would be required to increase the number of recipient families working from the current level of 50 percent to 70 percent or more in 2008. The bill also provides an additional $1 billion in mandatory state child care grants and provides $200 million annually for marriage promotion programs.

Reduce the concentration of wealth & wage inequality.
Solis adopted the Progressive Caucus Position Paper:
Economic inequality is the result of two and a half decades of government policies and rules governing the economy being tilted in favor of large asset owners at the expense of wage earners. Tax policy, trade policy, monetary policy, government regulations and other rules have reflected this pro-investor bias. We propose the introduction or reintroduction of a package of legislative initiatives that will close America�s economic divide and address both income and wealth disparities.
The Progressive Caucus could take the lead in the formation of a national leadership steering committee to put this dramatic issue before the public through coordinated media campaigns and local education and action forums. The political program should be concerned with:
Reducing wage inequality: We are proposing initiatives to both raise the minimum wage floor and prevent the tax code from subsidizing excessive compensation.
Asset-building initiatives: The government has historically given land to citizens. Unfortunately, the programs were discriminatory toward people of color and kept a whole generation of people off the asset-building train. We are proposing a universal asset building approach that will dramatically reduce the number of �asset less� households and reduce the disparity of wealth for all Americans.
Addressing the over concentration of wealth and power: The concentration of wealth is a problem because it distorts our democracy, destabilizes the economy and erodes our at our social and cultural fabric. Too much concentrated wealth leads to too much concentrated power and begins to undermine our participatory democracy.
After a decade of economic prosperity, the moral question remains: if we can�t address the persistent economic divide in our nation today, when can we? Source: CPC Position Paper: Income Inequality 99-CPC3 on Nov 11, 1999

La Mesa de Ocaña es una comarca de la provincia de Toledo. Se encuentra situada al noreste de la provincia, y se extiende a lo largo de una limitada pero alta planicie, que a modo de "mesa" o páramo, resalta a más de cien metros sobre el valle del Tajo, enlazando por el sur y por el este con el resto de la llanura manchega, de la que geomorfológicamente queda bien diferenciada.

Limita al norte con la vega de Aranjuez (Comarca de Las Vegas), al sur, con Los Yébenes y la Mancha de Toledo; al oeste, La Sagra y Toledo, y al Este, con La Mancha de Cuenca.

Geografía

Geomorfología
La Mesa de Ocaña, a modo de peldaño, se levanta con abruptos escarpes desde la ribera del Tajo al norte, para morir bruscamente, hacia el sur, en el escalón de La Guardia; por sus laterales también les acompaña encajonados valles y barrancos de los ríos Algodor (al oeste) y el Cedrón (al este), que han erosionado, a lo largo de miles de años, la formación de margas yesíferas. Tan variados rasgos geomorfológicos es lo que hacen de la Mesa de Ocaña una planicie diferente y separada de la llanura manchega, propiamente dicha, aunque tendría su continuidad natural al norte de la vega del Tajo en el Páramo de la Alcarria.

Ubicación

La Mesa de Ocaña comprende los municipios de:

El tipo de clima puede considerarse mediterráneo continentalizado, por lo que las temperaturas son extremas. Con veranos calurosos (temperaturas medias superiores a los 26º) e inviernos fríos (temperaturas medias mensuales inferiores a los 6º).

Demografía

Según el INE (padrón 2014), la población asciende a 47 230 hab., lo que supone una densidad media de 32,17 hab/km².

La capital oficiosa histórico-cultural de esta comarca es Ocaña (11 093 hab.), partido judicial y potencia en la industria del mueble.

Patrimonio cultural

Esta comarca presenta un rico patrimonio cultural y arquitectónico. Sin olvidar sus importantes yacimientos arqueológicos de diferentes culturas y épocas a lo largo de los siglos.

Yacimientos como el poblado amurallado de la edad del Hierro "Plaza de Moros" en Villatobas, "Las esperillas" en Sta. Cruz de la Zarza, etc. Ocaña, la bella en lontananza, convertida a causa de su historia en conjunto monumental.

Yepes señorío eclesiástico durante siglos del arzobispado de Toledo, declarado conjunto histórico-artístico. Catedral de la Mancha

Si por algo se caracterizan los pueblos que configuran la llamada Mesa de Ocaña es por dos elementos comunes a todos ellos: los restos de fortalezas medievales, arquitectura militar que recuerda su intenso pasado histórico, y sus iglesias y ermitas, procedentes de las órdenes militares y de los señoríos eclesiásticos.

Así, representan la arquitectura defensiva el castillo de Oreja en Ontígola, el castillo de Monreal en Dosbarrios, los restos del castillo de Huerta de Valdecarábanos, el castillo y la fortaleza de La Guardia. Por su parte, las iglesias parroquiales recortan su perfil destacándose en la llanura, como la de Cabañas de Yepes y Ciruelos, ambas del siglo XVI, la de Dosbarrios, de románico tardío del siglo XV, las de Noblejas y Villamuelas, de estillo barroco, la de Villarrubia de Santiago, estilo herreriano, Villatobas, gótico y Villasequilla, con torre mudéjar.

Artesanía

La artesanía tiene en la comarca una gran tradición y una gran variedad que ha sabido conservar y potenciar.
Entre ellas destaca la alfarería, heredada del legado mozárabe, y que tiene su representación en Ocaña, Villarrubia de Santiago, Sta. Cruz de la Zarza y Villamuelas.
Los trabajos en hierro tienen también su máximo exponente en esta comarca, junto con las tallas de madera o labores de esparto, enea y mimbre. Destacan el vidrio, la ebanistería y la fabricación de botas de vino en Noblejas y la tonelería en madera que mantiene su tradición en Villarrubia de Santiago.

Gastronomía

Es una típica cocina tradicional castellana, destacando los platos alrededor de la caza, y en especial la perdiz, como su principal protagonista en las más diversas preparaciones. También son tradicionales los asados, las calderetas de cordero, los cochifritos, etc. Sin olvidar las omnipresentes gachas o puches, elaboradas con harina de guijas o almortas; así como las migas, las judías con perdiz, el atascaburras (para los días de nieve), el pisto manchego y el arroz con liebre.

De repostería, se puede citar una amplia gama de dulces y postres, como: los borrachos de Ocaña, los mantecados, los hojaldres, o los turcos y melindres de Yepes.

En cuanto a los vinos, la subcomarca está integrada en la Denominación de Origen La Mancha, manteniendo el mismo buen prestigio internacional que el alcanzado para la Mancha Alta. Entre los municipios vinateros más destacados, tenemos a: Villamuelas, Ocaña, Yepes, Villarrubia de Santiago, Santa Cruz de la Zarza, Noblejas, entre otros. Algunos de sus municipios están integrados en la Denominación de Origen Uclés.

Entre las variedades de uva blanca, se cultiva, preferentemente, la  Airén, y la Viura o Macabeo; en las variedades tintas, la Tempranillo o Cencibel y la Cabernet Sauvignon.

Entorno ambiental

La Mesa de Ocaña presenta parajes que combinan la austeridad del páramo con la frescura de humedales recónditos, con imponentes fuentes, regueros y esteros, que hablan de la cultura del agua.

Construcciones hidráulicas tradicionales junto a las que ha transcurrido la vida sencilla de los pueblos: caños, abrevaderos y lavaderos. Puede citarse, en Ocaña, su Fuente Grande, trazada por Juan de Herrera; o  la Fuente Vieja, también en sus inmediaciones. En Noblejas, la Fuente de los Tres Caños; como las fuentes de Villarrubia de Santiago, Dosbarrios, Sta. Cruz de la Zarza, etc.

Además existe una riqueza natural muy importante, presentando hábitats únicos que han sido definido como prioritarios por las directivas europeas. Estos son las zonas declaradas como Lugares de Importancia Comunitaria (LIC's): las Salinas de Toledo, los Yesares del Valle del Tajo y las Estepas.
También podemos citar las Zonas de Especial Protección para las Aves (ZEPA's) que también se hallan en esta subcomarca. No hay que olvidar también, la importante zona de la vega del Tajo al norte de la Mesa (Ontígola, Noblejas, Villarrubia de Santiago y Santa Cruz de la Zarza), que como municipios de ribera presentan una gran biodiversidad.

Monumentos y lugares de interés

You can never go wrong wearing stripes, but Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie just made double the case for the style. While in Tokyo recently, the two held hands as they explored the city in eye-catching matching styles. Justin paired his sporty shorts and T-shirt with a black-and-white bomber jacket while Sofia opted to drape herself in something a little bolder. The 17-year-old model kept things casual with athleisure leggings and the sold-out Adidas NMD City Sock sneakers, but her oversize Homme Plissé Issey Miyake coat stood out with its yellow, green and black colorway. The varying widths of the graphic lines and contrasting colors gave her laid-back outfit a modern update, plus we love that she's embraced shopping the men's section. Now we're just wondering when we can expect more coordinating fashion moments from their travels.
Check out Justin and Sofia's matching looks below and keep scrolling to shop a similar coat.
On Sofia Richie: Homme Plissé Issey Miyake coat; Adidas sneakers.

In this survey of 1,000 Americans who were planning to buy a home in the next year, 84 percent of Millennials believed that "buying a home remains a core component of the American Dream." This aligns with findings from the 2018 Bank of America survey that a majority of this generation prioritize owning a home above other common life goals, such as getting married and having children.
This shows that Millennials value homeownership not only as a source of financial wealth but also as an important stepping stone in their lives, even though we see trends of younger adults delaying both marriage and becoming parents, with some opting out of both entirely.

'Everyone better give housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home': Amber Heard sparks FURY after tweeting a tone deaf 'racist' joke in an attempt to criticize ICE checkpoints
The 32-year-old actress posted a tweet early on Tuesday morning warning followers about an ICE checkpoint near her home in Los Angeles
She sarcastically suggested that people should help their 'housekeepers, nannies and landscapers' to avoid it
Although Amber appears to have been trying to highlight unfair stereotypes used in order to justify President Trump's ICE policies, it did not go down well
Some people accused her of racism, while others simply noted that she 'could have phrased her tweet differently'
Amber was actually one of several celebrities who protested the Trump administration's family separation policy in June
By Clemence Michallon and Charlie Lankston For Dailymail.com

Amber Heard has come under fire after attempting to joke about an ICE checkpoint on Twitter.
The actress, 32, posted a tweet early in the morning on Tuesday warning her 60,400 followers that an ICE checkpoint near her home in Los Angeles.
'Just heard there's an ICE checkpoint in Hollywood, a few blocks from where I live, she wrote. 'Everyone better give their housekeepers, nannies and landscapers a ride home tonight...'
Message: Amber Heard has come under fire after attempting to joke about an ICE checkpoint on Twitter, telling others to give their 'housekeepers, nannies and landscapers' a ride home
Speaking out: The actress, 32, wrote in a follow-up tweet that 'raids, fences and police-state like checkpoints don't feel like the "land of the free" our immigrant ancestors built'
Speaking out: Amber was one of several celebrities who protested the Trump administration's family separation policy in June. She is pictured at the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry in Texas
It appears that Amber was trying to highlight, thanks to a sarcastic joke, unfair stereotypes used to used in order to justify President Donald Trump's ICE policies.
She added in a follow-up tweet, seemingly trying to clarify her message: 'Checkpoints on your home streets.... Is this the "great" America we're aiming for?
'Raids, fences and police-state like checkpoints don't feel like the "land of the free" our immigrant ancestors built.'
But her initial tweet did not go down well, and several other Twitter users deemed it 'racist' and overall insensitive.
'Knew you meant well... But sounds like something Trump might say. Ha,' someone told Amber.
Another person replied: 'I see the remnants of a joke in this but it is not working...', while another Twitter user wrote: 'This is racist and disappointing.'
'I can see where you were going but somewhere along the way you took a wrong turn. Delete this sis,' someone else told the actress.
'Can this sound any more 1950s white privileged? These professions aren't just for immigrants nor do they need "white chaperones" as a safety net. You could have worded this better,' one Twitter user wrote.
Easy, breezy, AGELESS! 70-year-old model Maye Musk stands... 'My life was made possible by my right to decide':...
Reactions: It appears that Amber was trying to highlight, thanks to a sarcastic joke, unfair stereotypes used to used in order to justify President Donald Trump's ICE policies
Backlash: But her initial tweet did not go down well, and several other Twitter users deemed it 'racist' and overall insensitive
Responses: Several Twitter users tried to warn Amber that her tweet came off as tone-deaf
One person suggested Amber might have been trying to bash other Hollywood A-listers in her tweet, writing: 'Maybe I'm misreading this tweet, but she's not stereotyping Mexican people, she's calling out her fellow Hollywood white elites that'll hire Mexican workers for dirt cheap etc?'
Theory: One person suggested Amber (pictured in June) might have been trying to criticize other Hollywood A-listers with her tweet
'Yeah... Yeah she worded this wrong but I don't see any other rich famous Hollywood elite posting checkpoints,' someone else wrote in reaction to Amber's tweet.
'Even when the privileged try to help it comes off as racist... Granted she might have helped somebody tonight.'
Others, however, were left baffled by the tweet, such as one person who asked the actress: 'Wait... what the f**k did you just say? LOL.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to Amber's spokesperson for comment.
Amber was one of several celebrities who protested the Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant families at the border last month.
She was pictured at the Marcelino Serna Port of Entry, formerly known as the Tornillo Port of Entry in Texas, with a sign reading: 'Apartheid was legal, Holocaust was legal, legality is a matter of power, not justice.'
More than 2,300 children were separated from their families under the administration's policy.
Amber's tweet came after thousands of people rallied across the country to protest family separations at the border.
Approximately 700 marches took place against the administration's 'zero tolerance' policy. Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Amy Schumer, Chadwick Boseman, Laverne Cox, Alicia Keys, and Lin-Manuel Miranda were among the celebrities who rallied.
Amber shared a message on Instagram urging others to check online to find and join the protest closest to them.

Reunion: A Musical Epic in Miniature was originally written for a cast of five and, under the title Battle Cry of Freedom, grew to a cast of six and a full production at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Lyme, Connecticut in 1996. The director was noted Broadway actor Ron Holgate, winner of a Tony Award for his performance in the original cast of 1776.
After its successful premiere at Goodspeed, the show was retitled and had a run off-Broadway in 1999, with an original cast recording. This was followed by a production at Washington's Ford's Theatre in 2000, generating rave reviews and nearly $1.5 million in ticket sales.
After the prestigious Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum opened in Springfield, Illinois, Reunion was the first outside play mounted in its Union Theatre.
Since then, it has been performed by regional and community theatres around the country, and the script and score are published by Samuel French, Inc., who also arrange performing licenses.
Highlights and links to full reviews and articles from many previous productions, along with a one-page flyer of review highlights.
Reunion: A Musical Epic in Miniature had a 3-month run of nightly standing ovations and sold-out houses at Ford's Theatre in Washington, DC.
Reunion: A Musical Epic in Miniature was produced for a commercial off-Broadway run at the Theatre Row Theatre in New York.
Reunion was the first licensed production staged in the Union Theatre at the newly opened Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois.

Cryozone Health / Cryotherapy / Cryofacial – look younger, instantly!
Cryofacial – look younger, instantly!
At Cryozone Health, we offer a range of services for wellbeing, sports and fat loss, but did you know that we also offer amazing beauty treatments?
All are designed to target the visual signs of ageing, and skin conditions such as eczema and acne. As part of our variety of treatments, we offer our instantly effective cryofacial. Hailed as the non-invasive botox, this facial has instant skin smoothing and brightening effects, and with regular treatments, has long lasting anti-aging benefits.
Just like a typical facial, a cryofacial involves relaxing back in one of our treatment rooms. The facial is non-invasive and pain free, using a hand-held cryotherapy device. Specific products from award winning Italian brand Dermo28 are used to cleanse and prep the skin prior to treatment, before cryo-air, cooled to around -32℃, is circulated around the face by our trained therapist Beth.
The whole experience is soothing and rejuvenating, and will leave you and your skin feeling incredibly refreshed. The stream of cold air enhances exfoliation of dead cells on the surface of the skin, exposing the healthy, more radiant skin underneath. The process works to contract the skin, accelerating microcirculation and therefore promoting oxygen rich blood to the dermis and epidermis, which in turn stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that gives your skin its strength and structure.
Unlike with some facials and cosmetic procedures, the cryofacial does not inflame or irritate the skin in any way. You will leave with glowing skin and a decrease in any redness and puffiness, with noticeably tighter pores.
Cryotherapy can help users maintain a youthful appearance, whilst also targeting wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes. Repeated treatment has been linked to firmer skin and a visible improvement in skin quality, leaving it perfected and smooth to the touch.
Other benefits of the treatment include acne reduction and acne scar lightening. Fatigued skin is also improved as well as skin texture and tone. Inflamed skin is calmed and pigmentation reduced, and skin conditions such as eczema are significantly improved.
Don't just take our word for it, our wonderful clients love the lasting benefits of our cryofacials!
If you like the sound of our facial, or want any further information about how it can benefit you, get in touch!

Those who are concerned about the quality of our magazines will find cold comfort in the contemporary Esquire, where -- with all due respect to Marshall McLuhan -- marketing is the message. Esquire was once among the best of our cultural magazines. Today, it is one of our best-marketed magazines and, much like supermarket produce bred for color, size, and other ``marketable'' traits, it is a fairly insipid product.
Esquire, founded in 1933, was guided for most of its life by Arnold Gingrich, whose wit and intelligence were reflected on its pages. Gingrich not only drew good authors, he drew good work from good authors. In the '30s, Esquire published Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Dos Passos. In the '60s, considered by some to be Esquire's best years, it published Steinbeck, Baldwin, Mailer.
But Esquire came apart in the '70s. Faced with the loss of Gingrich in 1976, beset by internal and external problems, the magazine was failing in 1979, when it was acquired by Christopher Whittle and Phillip Moffitt. These two young men had made their fortune with the 13-30 Corporation, publishing magazines customized to specific markets and sponsors. Having learned to target audiences for advertisers, they applied their marketing expertise to Esquire.
Few magazines have pursued yuppie readers more aggressively than Esquire, which devoted its entire December issue to the chase. Esquire's 1984 ``Register'' profiled nearly 300 young achievers, creating a kind of Fortune 500 of the baby boomers Esquire would like to call its own. The Register, promoted to advertisers as a ``print event,'' is the most recent in a series of Esquire special issues that included two for its 50th anniversary: ``How We Lived'' and ``Fifty Who Made the Difference.'' Heavily promoted, these specials have drawn advertising and circulation; but the Register, glowing with yuppie appeal, specifically targets upscale young consumers.
Whittle and Moffitt's marketing strategy is turning Esquire around. But the magazine, perhaps because it is aiming at the chic and young, is increasingly a sophomoric product, a publication where the trendy replaces the provocative. Such issues as ``A Celebration of the New American Woman,'' and such features as ``Men and Their Money: The Passion of the Eighties'' or ``Why Men Love War,'' while claiming to make large statements, lack the intellectual weight required for depth and the scope and irony required for sophistication. Banalities are offered as profundities: ``Our mistakes teach us caution, and caution is wisdom,'' reads an ``Ethics'' column headline. Gone are the old Esquire's wit and playfulness: Today's magazine is a self-serious publication where monthly editorials discuss the issue's less-than-weighty contents with an oddly misplaced sense of gravity.
As a writer's magazine, Esquire was intelligent, literate, witty, provocative. Would such a publication today be unable to find an audience? Or is the problem that it couldn't find a market? ``It's very easy for a magazine to maintain, no matter what, the standards of the past -- and to go under,'' said Hayes in 1981. Apparently, it's also quite easy for a magazine to abandon those standards and, if it is well-marketed, to thrive.

CNN Dusts Off 6-Month-Old Study to Push Internet Advertising Regulations
Published: 1/25/2007 12:55 PM ET

By Ken Shepherd
The Internet is making kids fat, and it's time the government did something. That was the impression "American Morning" gave its January 25 audience with a report by Dr. Sanjay Gupta that neglected to give parents tips for supervising their children's Internet usage, while lamenting a lack of government regulation.
Not only are more American children than ever overweight, "Now there's evidence of hidden messages that could be adding to America's weight problem," anchor Soledad O'Brien teased as she introduced Gupta's story on kid-friendly online games at food and candy Web sites.
CNN's in-house doctor used his "Fit Nation" story to hype a 6-month-old study by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
"As we look at the problem of childhood obesity, and as we look at the possible role of food marketing … we need to be sure we're looking at online food marketing to kids," insisted Kaiser's Vicky Rideout, pointing to her group's July 19, 2006, study that suggests candy and cereal Web sites featuring online games aggravate the nation's "obesity epidemic" among children.
Rideout's prescription for the outbreak of pudgy kids hunched over the keyboard seemed to point to government regulation.
"The Internet is potentially way more powerful than television advertising ever dreamed of being, but it's also way more challenging in terms of any kind of oversight," Rideout added.
Of course, computers and cable modems have off buttons and software exists for parents to block unwanted Web sites. And of course most young children rely on their parents for food shopping or allowance money they might use to buy snacks.
Yet rather than giving parents practical advice to get their kids more physically active and less reliant on Internet games, Gupta lamented a lack of government regulation of the Internet.
"Where television ads are regulated in length, Internet ads for now are only regulated voluntarily," Gupta noted, before tossing in a 6-second sound bite from industry spokesman Daniel Jaffe.
"I believe that if you really did look at these sites, you would find quite a number of foods that are healthy," said Jaffe of the Association of National Advertisers.
Back in the New York studio, O'Brien told viewers the government might be riding in to help after all.
"The Federal Trade Commission is also studying junk food ads to see how manufacturers are marketing to children," the CNN host told her breakfast-hour audience.
The Business & Media Institute has reported on the media's recurring hype about food advertising to children. For example, ABC's Lisa Stark picked up on the Kaiser study with her July 26, 2006, "World News Tonight" story, and on the December 7, 2005, "Early Show," Dr. Emily Senay compared cartoon characters that hawk cereals and candy to one that was an icon for tobacco.
"Parents certainly have a role to play, here, but this is very powerful stuff," CBS's medical correspondent lamented of Internet advertising, "it's not unlike, for example Joe Camel."

At the DCRO Committee meeting on 17 October 2018, the Committee agreed to pilot a new form of DCRO membership aimed primarily at ex-members and members who can no longer fulfill the commitments of a fully operational team member, but who still want to maintain contact with the team, and possibly help in some way with fund raising and other tasks in support of the team.
This will be called Associate Membership, and it will run as a pilot until it is formalised at a future A.G.M.
• will not be able to vote at any DCRO meeting.
Just like Full Team Membership, Associate Membership is subject to annual renewal/confirmation via the January DCRO Update.
If you know somebody who used to be on the team and who you think may be interested in becoming an Associate Member, please feel free to tell them to look at this page.
Or if you yourself are a team member, but you are struggling to meet operational requirements but would like to maintain contact with the team, and maybe help on a less demanding basis, perhaps Associate Membership is something for you to think about?
The application form for Associate Membership can be downloaded from https://derbyshirecro.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/DCRO-Associate-Member-Application-Form.pdf.

My name is Nam-Tan and I joined the Khlongdogs team in April 2009. I have to admit that I again was very lucky and in a matter of speaking it was a last minute rescue from an uncertain future. Actually I was rescued before but let me tell you the whole story. I used to be a rather beautiful lady and I lived my life near Minburi which is a suburb of Bangkok. It was there when my life turned to a nightmare when I was hit by a car and left for good. My injuries where many and a broken spine is just one of the troubles I now have to live with. However, a nice lady took pity on me and brought me to a nearby animal hospital where I was treated. It actually turned out that my spine injury was not the only bad news and so I had to undergo another major surgery since the impact of the car hitting me moved all my intestines to the front and subsequently needed to be fixed and rearranged. But this is all behind me and today I am working to overcome the remaining effects of my damaged spine.
Since the young lady who rescued me had no chance to adopt me she made quite an effort to find a new home for me. So my name and my story were a hot topic in a local website and many people made donations since my treatment was rather expensive. However, there was no one to be found who was able to give me a home. Remember, it is already hard to find a home when you are a street dog but a street dog with a broken spine – right, you got the idea. On the other side time was running out since I was already in the hospital for over two months and these places are not designed to be a home for retired and handicapped street dogs. So my future looked bleak - just to say the least. But many of my new friends here at Khlongdogs remember the day when suddenly new faces turn up and look at you, give you a belly rub and talk to the vets for more than a moment. We street dogs are not so easily impressed but this time they came back and I knew: this is the day! Just to make a long story short, I was adopted by Paporn and Thomas and this is when I became a member of Khlongdogs.
At first I was of course a bit insecure when I met my new friends. But after some days I began to appreciate the bungalow where I now live together with Fighter, Mona and Lisa. And what a nice team they are. They accepted me as a member although I am quite handicapped and they immediately recognized that I am not a normal dog. But they like me and nowadays I roll on the floor with Fighter in my hands and we kiss and hug each other and lead an easy life here. These guys share their bowls when eating and I have to say that this was rather strange for me but today I can see that it really works well. So my team is great and I feel just good here. I also have the chance to walk in the garden but all this still makes me very tired and I have to work on my muscles before I can really enjoy all the things around here.
Two times a week I have to go back to the hospital for physiotherapy and as exhausting this might be – it really helps. There I get massages, have to do exercises with real fitness equipment, go for a swim with my own life jacket and then they stimulate my muscles and nerves with this strange machine giving me that creeping sensation in my back legs. Things got better but what really makes me go are my new friends and the joy to be out of the cage, taking a sun bath and walk around as I please. Let's see if I ever regain the strength I need and maybe I can also convince my nerves to cooperate with what I actually have in mind. But the outlook is promising.
When I joined my team I learned that Joey and Paula lived here until recently and it made me think a lot. Both of them were founding members of Khlongdogs and I only wished I had the chance to meet them. But they are gone now and I can still feel how much they still live on in the hearts of everybody. Yes, there are of course the occasional dog fights here and even the cats have their fighting days. But there is also a deep sense of friendship, a shared fate and a lot of love around here. This makes me feel good and it gives me the confidence that I still have a good life in front of me. Never mind my walking skills – I have a home now!

Flashback Friday-- "Osborn" and "Skrull Kill Krew"
Space-Aliens and Madmen.
The Kill Krew's "Dark Reign" mini-series.
There was a time where Norman Osborn was basically the boss of the Marvel Universe and life sucked for almost anyone who considered themselves a super-hero. It was called, "Dark Reign," and it spun out of the "Secret Invasion" event. Despite not actually being a mini-series or such, it was a pseudo-event that occurred in a variety of ongoing comics and had some mini-series that examined what this upside-down world was like. I'll be talking in-depth about one of those mini's which was known as "Skrull Kill Krew". But first, let's talk about the comic I'm discussing today.
Osborn's "Dark Reign" ended with the horrendous "Siege" mini-series that I hated more than any Marvel event I'd read (at least until "Fear Itself" which I literally gave-up on). However, one good thing to come from "Siege" was a superb mini-series by Kelly Sue Deconnick titled simply, "Osborn". It is no secret that I loved Osborn as early as its 2nd issue and was such a fan I went on to interview Kelly Sue Deconnick about it and her other works.
My favorite of the "Osborn" covers.
Later on, Brian Micheal Bendis would have a mini cross-over between two Avengers books he was writing where Osborn tried break out of Prison and take over America again only for the Avengers to stop him because his plan was incredibly stupid--an odd counter to the behavior of the clever and calculating Osborn seen in Deconnick's series. I'm talking about quite recent events and the point of this post is to flash-back, so let's start doing so by discussing the Skrull Kill Krew--but not the Dark Reign one. No, first we're going to go back to those magical days of Crystal Pepsi and "The Spice Girls" known as the 1990's. God help us all.
From the Origins of the Kill Krew to the Modern-Day
Back before Grant Morrison started hating Mark Millar's guts for reasons we still aren't aware of (and it is their own business anyways, so I shan't pry) they collaborated on a mini-series known as the--you guessed it--"Skrull Kill Krew" It took the story-line of how back in the olden days of comics the Fantastic Four had tricked some Skrulls into thinking they were cows, and this series had the idea that one of those Skrull-cows accidentally was slaughtered and people ate its meat. The resulted in most dying, but a few gaining the shape-shifting abilities of Skrulls...while also still suffering from the fact they were dying, and being really mad about it.
It was a pretty wacky series and ended with the Krew basically going off never to be seen again, at least until "Secret Invasion" when writer Dan Slott brought them back in the "Avengers Initiative" comic to help fight against all the Skrulls they so desperately hated. Upon their return they were given their own mini-series that took place in the aftermath of "Secret Invasion" and dealt with their being funded by Osborn's new organization, "H.A.M.M.E.R." to keep doing what they did best, kill Skrulls.
Let's Discuss The Actual Mini-Series
You're all caught-up so now I'll tell you about the "Dark Reign"-related mini-series itself and why I liked it a great amount.
Basically, I enjoyed the newest incarnation of "Skrull Kill Krew" because it was wacky while also at times being surprisingly deep in its asking questions of morality and just what made Skrulls count as "evil" compared to the fact that the Krew was working for the most villainous man around, Norman Osborn. Between breaking up a human-cow fetish club run by Skrulls who were actually killing the humans that liked pretending to be cows (I told you it was silly), learning they were genetically basically Skrulls due to their illness mutating, and starting to realize that while there are evil Skrulls, some were in fact born on Earth and had no desire to cause trouble, the Krew eventually figures out they want to in fact protect the good Skrulls.
The Krew warns Osborn to leave native-born Skrulls alone, and then ride off into the sunset once more to not been seen for another decade or so, I suppose. In the end, an enjoyable time is had by the reader, and a quality book is done.
Now, "Osborn"
The Krew's warning to Osborn was kind of pointless, because it was within the span of a few months that he found himself ousted from power and locked up far from the public. I guess Bendis was already concocting plans for Osborn as he did his big attempt at a coup in the pages of "Avengers" and "New Avengers" a year and some months later, but before that happened Marvel must have wanted to keep the character in the public's eye because they gave Deconnick the opportunity to write this mini.
Osborn delivers some killer lines.
One of the reasons I enjoyed "Osborn" so much was that Deconnick masterfully wrote dialogue, with Osborn having some of the best quotes I'd seen from the character in years. Plus, his fellow prisoners that we meet are all intriguing, be they a surreal space-alien, a monstrous spider-God, or a woman who has genetically altered herself into a killing machine. I also deserves mention that artist Emma Rios turns in some beautiful pages that will astound anyone reading this comic.
The ending to "Osborn" itself was slightly disappointing because it just put him back in prison system he had worked so hard to get out of over the course of the mini, but set things in place for when Bendis used the character again by introducing some of the characters Osborn would work with and having the public be somewhat on his side due to his pointing out in this series how he was basically being held without trial--something the government can't do to an American citizen (but seems to have no trouble doing with foreign folk we think may be terrorists, but that's a whole different rant).
"Osborn" is a stellar mini-series that a lot of people may have missed out on because by the time it occurred they were sick of the character from all of his "Dark Reign" appearances. It's a shame if people didn't read it though, because this is just a fantastic collected five issues that ranks among some of my favorite comic-works.
To Be Seen Again?
As I said earlier, after their mini-series the Skrull Kill Krew seemed to just disappear again, with us readers now having to wait for some other writer to have enough of a fondness for the characters (or excuse to use them) for another appearance to occur. Norman Osborn is of course such a ubiquitous character due to his close ties with Spider-Man that he'll most likely never disappear for long, but after his mini and brief attempt at a power-grab in Bendis' comics, Osborn has been surprisingly quiet--though he is beginning to pop-up more and more in the series, "Superior Spider-Man".
I suppose the moral of this post is that when a character (or characters) has enough popularity or writers who are fans, it is only a matter of time until said character/s have an appearance in our comics. This is a positive thing when you get really good comics such as the two mini-series I've just discussed, but it goes without saying that for every "Osborn" or "Skrull Kill Krew" we get there are plenty of awful things that are put out too. That's just the way of comics, movies, and any form of media, though. Anyways, these comics were superb and I give them these ratings:
Dark Reign: Skrull Kill Krew: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Osborn: 5 out of 5 stars.

Very interesting -- the Osborn series flew completely under my radar when it came out. In the wake of Dark Reign, I just assumed it was yet another cash grab by Marvel. Between this post and reading your interview with DeConnick, I'm going to have to check it out now. I'll be curious to see more of how it relates to the issues of due process and unlawful incarceration that are maybe even a bigger issue now than they were when this comic came out.
David Charles Bitterbaum July 9, 2013 at 4:12 PM
It is a very good read, Marc, and I'm glad you'll be checking it out now. Too many people missed out on it due to being tired of Osborn popping up everywhere during "Dark Reign". It is especially interesting to examine its legal and human-rights questions with things happening today too, as you point out.

Q: How to add native library folder to existing project in Netbeans I have some native files. I need to load those into my project. How can I do so in Netbeans?
I'm loading them with:
System.loadLibrary("SBXPCJavaProxy");

A: This is pretty forward in Netbeans:

*

*Right click on the Project.

*Select Properties.

*Click on RUN.

*In VM Options TYPE -Djava.library.path="[dir]".

*Press Ok.

Basically you give directions to the compiler in which folders to search for available packages.
Note that [dir] should be an absolute path to the folder containing your natives. For example, if your natives are in C:\Natives then [dir] should be C:\Natives.

so we have a 30 foot long 3D printer that I have been using cura to slice with and I've been having quite a few problems with cura in relation to doing very large slices on the machine, you can look back at some of my previous threads ive made (like combing with retraction) that normally wouldnt be very useful but with a large format printer they become useful.
another one that is starting to annoy me is that panning with the camera doesn't seem to scale with how zoomed in or out you are, if zoomed in really close then it becomes hyper sensitive and the slightest movement turns into a large pan with the camera, and when zoomed out very far (again, 30 foot long printer) the pan basically doesn't move at all.
This is somewhat complicated by the fact that Cura actually doesn't really zoom, but it moves the camera towards the center.

Identify the parts that you will use to assemble the DC input power cables.
For each cable, you need the three parts shown in the figure below. These items are provided in the shipping kit that came with your server (DC models only).
Note - Depending on the DC power source, the -48V or -60V (negative terminal) might be marked with a minus (-) symbol, and the -48V or -60V Return (positive terminal) might be marked with a positive (+) symbol.
Strip 1/2 inches (13 mm) of insulation from each of the wires coming from the DC power source.
Do not strip more than 1/2 inches (13 mm) from each wire. Doing so leaves uninsulated wire exposed from the DC connector after the assembly is complete.
1 Strip the insulation 1/2 in., or 13 mm.
Open the cage clamp by inserting the cage clamp tool (or small screwdriver) into the rectangular hole directly above the hole in the DC input plug where you want to insert the first wire, and push in to open the cage clamp.
Feed the exposed section of the appropriate wire into the round plug hole in the DC input plug.
Note - If you need to remove a wire from the DC input plug, insert the cage clamp operating tool or a small screwdriver into the slot directly above the wire and push in. Pull the wire from the DC input plug.
Remove the cage clamp tool to secure the wire.
Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 for the other two wires to complete the assembly of the DC input power cable.
Repeat this procedure to create as many DC input power cables as you need for your unit.


Still have leftover turkey? Lucky you! Here, a mixture of savory turkey and Brie combined with crisp, lightly sweet pears makes a winning combination for a weekend brunch, especially when served with a simple spinach salad alongside. If you don't have turkey left over from Thanksgiving, you can use a pound of good-quality sliced smoked turkey instead.
1. In a fry pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, 1/3 cup (3 fl. oz./80 ml) water, eggs and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
2. In the same pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter until bubbly and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the pears, spreading them in a single layer, and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. The pears should be caramelized but still hold their shape. Remove the pan from the heat and let stand while you make the crepes.
3. Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Have ready 2 baking sheets.
4. Warm a 6-inch (15-cm) crepe pan or nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 tsp. of butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and covers the bottom of the pan. (If you are using a seasoned crepe pan, you will need to butter the pan only once. If you are using a nonstick pan, you will need to lightly butter the pan in between crepes.) Ladle about 1/4 cup (2 1/2 oz./75 g) of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan to cover the bottom evenly. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Run a fork around the edges of the pan to loosen the crepe and transfer to the baking sheet. Do not cook the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 6 crepes.
5. Place 1 crepe on a work surface. Place one-sixth of the Brie over one-quarter of the crepe, followed by one-sixth of the turkey and one-sixth of the pears. Repeat with the remaining crepes, Brie, turkey and pears, dividing them evenly. Bake until the cheese is gooey but not completely melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully fold each crepe in half and then in half again. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
