Meet Miss June, the New Zealand band quickly becoming globally adored
They'll be sharing their long-awaited debut album on September 6 via Frenchkiss Records.
Posted By Hayden Davies 5 months ago
While you may not be familiar with New Zealand-based rock outfit Miss June, they probably count one of your favourite rock acts a fan. Since their five-track, 2015-released debut EP Matriarchy, the Annabel Liddell-led four-piece have blossomed into favourites amongst the greater rock world, supporting everyone from the Foo Fighters to Wolf Alice; their music, strangely enough, the perfect accompanying support to both of these vastly different acts. On their work since, for example, their music has swerved between blistering rock and hazy post-punk, highlighting Annabel's soaring vocal which is skillful enough to navigate whatever instrumental it's working with - a feat that often, heavier bands find themselves tripping up on.
Their new single, Anomaly, is an ode to the beauty of flaws mixed within a quicker pace that makes it one of their more up-tempo pieces of work, with Annabel's vocal - once again - stealing the spotlight to be the single's big attraction. "I have an incredible ability to attract individuals that are as flawed as I am. It's made my life chaotic and beautiful," she says on the track. "This song is about a girl. A girl I will never understand. A girl that's a gun, a burning sun and an anomaly to me." Arriving following a two-side Best Girl / Twitch and it's follow-up, Enemies, Anomaly is a track that makes their forthcoming debut album, Bad Luck Party, one of rock's most anticipated and excitable, sure to sun and win us over with its release on September 6 via Frenchkiss Records.
Dive into Anomaly below, pre-order their debut album Bad Luck Party HERE, and catch them supporting Dune Rats on the east-coast next month, as well as a special one-off headline show at Sydney's The Vanguard on September 11th.
Tell us about yourself?
We are Miss June from Auckland New Zealand and we play music that is loud and fast. We are a quartet made up of Annabel Liddell (Vox, guitar), Jun Park (Guitar), Tom Leggett (Drums) and Chris Marshall (Bass).
What's the vibe music-wise?
Describing your own sound is always hard I find. I guess we are a punk rock band and we just play music with lots of energy. Naturally, we like to write songs about subjects that are relevant to our lives and songwriting has always been such a good way to outlet your emotions and thoughts. There's never a specific one theme or message that we write to.
What are your production and writing processes like?
When we write Annabel will usually bring a skeleton of a song that the band will fill up. Or we will all sit there and someone will come up with an idea that we all latch on to and explore it further until we come out with a product or section that we are happy with. To be honest it's just a lot of bouncing ideas and almost like puzzle solving where we try to figure out the best way to piece together a song.
When producing, we will go into the studio and do a live drums session first. This is the best way to capture the energy of the drums which become the base layer of the songs. Then once all the drums are done we will slowly record the other instruments until we get a finished song that we are satisfied with. Pretty standard I think haha
Can you tell us about your latest single, Anomaly?
I have an incredible ability to attract individuals that are as flawed as I am. It's made my life chaotic and beautiful. This song is about a girl. A girl I will never understand. A girl that's a gun, a burning sun and an anomaly to me.
Any tour dates coming up?
Yep we got a bunch of tour dates coming up September-November!! We will be travelling all around the world so come check us out at a venue near you! So to be in the know of when we are coming go to OUR WEBSITE or you can give us a like on our social handles. @Ihatemissjune on Instagram and Twitter.
What does 2019 have in store for you?
The release of our debut album Bad Luck Party coming out in early September along with a world tour to support it. We can't wait to show the world what we have been working on. I'm so glad to say that We are very proud of this album.
Where can we find more of your music?
Just in all the usual suspects, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music, YouTube, etc.

This could not have come at a better time, as cold and flu season is upon us. I have 3 children : 8, 7 and 6 months. This should never be used for children under 6 due to the fact it has a ingredient that will make your child tired. This year my 8 year came down with a cold and a real bad cough. I gave her her first dose at 8 am yesterday and she said she felt a little tired so , I told her to go back to sleep and see how she does. Well she fell asleep and still had the cough but she said she felt a little better. For 24 hours I was giving her this medication to help with her cough, I did have to call the Dr. and ask if it was safe to use Tylenol as well since she was running a fever as well. By giving her this around the clock every 4 hours I am very pleased to say that her cough is not as bad as it was and she did not complain of the taste of the medication as she usually does. I am pleased to say I will be buying more of these products and I handed out the coupons to friends and family to have them try it.


This Air-Pro Valance Wall Mount Range Hood features a classic valance. The high-end style and quality of this range hood make it the perfect addition to any kitchen. The hood is constructed from any of four different quality hardwoods including Red Oak, Maple, Hickory and Cherry. All valance hoods require a t-shaped liner for mounting the power pack and the wood hoods will all come sanded and ready for finishing. This range hood is available in 36" and 36" widths to accommodate most range sizes. Re-circulating ductwork kits are also available.
Was nervous ordering a non-returnable measurement specific item and was happy to see that the product was delivered 1 week earlier than expected and fit in the space perfectly! it's a beautiful addition to our new kitchen!
Better than expected, great quality and craftsmanship. Item arrived well packaged.
There is no way to eliminate the decorative pieces, but I did find a similar hood that would sit much more flat on the wall.
The Air Pro wood hoods are made by Air Pro where the Omega National is made by a competing company. The quality of both hoods are equivalent. The Omega National however does include a liner, while the Air Pro hood does not.

Deftones – Access All Areas
Featured Stories I by Al Horner I 18.07.16
Photo by: Pawel Ptak
In May, California rock band Deftones made an exhilarating return to London's SEE Arena, Wembley. The show was originally plotted for last year but was derailed by a close brush with November's Paris terror attacks. Having recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their still-searing debut album Adrenaline, we went behind the scenes with frontman Chino Moreno and the band to hear how everything and nothing has changed in two boundary-pushing decades.
The line that sums up Deftones best isn't their best-known. "Here's my new address," sung a breathy Chino Moreno over crashing guitars 16 years ago on White Pony's quietly romantic 'Street Carp'. "664 – oh, I forget…" In the song it's a flash of playful Morrissey-ish romance: a guy trying to play it cool in front of a "girl with gold teeth" who he can't bear to let know he cares. 20 years on though, it feels retrospectively a statement of how the Sacramento experimentalists have never had one fixed abode. Not musically. When they first roared out of anonymity on 1995 debut Adrenaline, it was in a blaze of skateboard almost-rap-rock fury. Follow-up Around The Fur upped the aggression and the ambition. From there, their creativity exploded in a way that's seldom seen: across later albums Deftones, Saturday Night Wrist, Koi No Yokan, new album Gore and 2003's now-iconic White Pony, their sound has scaled 80s New Wave haze, swooning electronics, Smiths-inspired production and endless experimentation. Why would Moreno memorise a new address? Deftones have never stood still for long enough to bother.
"We're still the same people who skateboarded together back home. We were friends before we were a band," says the frontman when we meet in the group's Wembley Arena dressing room. He's getting amped for tonight's show with the new Gold Panda album, though it's Kaytranada's 99.9% he's really digging at the moment. You'd forgive him and his Deftones brothers-in-arms – guitarist Stephen Carpenter, turntablist Frank Delgado, drummer Abe Cunningham and recent addition Sergio Vega, still bedding into the band following the tragic hospitalisation then death of original bassist Chi Cheng in a car accident in 2008 – for feeling introspective this evening. Tonight's show was originally scheduled for November 2015 but was rearranged after the Paris terror attack at the Bataclan, where Deftones were due to perform the night after 89 people were murdered by ISIS gunmen. The horror of that night, and knowledge that it could so easily have been their show that was targeted, isn't lost on Moreno: "The whole situation was, and still is, unspeakably frightening and saddening," he says. But Deftones are looking forward. "It's been 20 years, which is kinda insane to process. We're just glad to be here and to play these new songs for people." Here's to another 20? Moreno laughs. "Well, let's see about that…" Watch our AAA film from the show above and check out more photos from the show below.

Starz Developing Comedy Series 'Survivor's Remorse' From LeBron James
Category : News, US News
Starz has put a new half-hour scripted comedy series into development titled Survivor's Remorse, which hails from LeBron James, Tom Werner, Mike O'Malley, Maverick Carter and Paul Wachter. The project marks the network's first serious move in the comedy genre since the Adam Scott fronted Party Down was cancelled in 2010, at which time the network decided to focus its original output solely on drama following the appointment of former HBO exec Chris Albrecht as CEO of Starz
Survivor's Remorse will explore the complexity, comedy and drama of an experience that everyone reads about, but few understand – what truly happens when you make it out. Through a combination of God-given talent and north Philly grit, Cam Calloway and Reggie Vaughn have achieved fame and fortune that neither could have imagined growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in Philadelphia. But success comes with its own challenges, and the cousins and confidantes wrestle with the rewards of money, stardom, love, and occasionally, the guilt of having "made it." Mike O'Malley will write the script, while O'Malley, LeBron James and Tom Werner serving as executive producers.
"We are incredibly excited at Starz to work with such a deep bench of talented storytellers to develop 'Survivor's Remorse,'" said Chris Albrecht. CEO of Starz. "Everyone involved brings something unique to the table – from Tom Werner's legendary television success to LeBron's extraordinary life experiences and point of view. We hope that 'Survivor's Remorse' will bring the humor, pain and complexity of these characters to life in a way that is honest and compelling for audiences worldwide."

Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia has unveiled a new health care insurance policy especially designed for people suffering from type 2 diabetes.
Dubbed Allianz Diabetic Essential, the new medical plan will allow people with type 2 diabetics to buy get medical coverage while those with a pre-existing plan can top-up their current coverage.
Allianz Life Insurance Malaysia CEO Joseph Gross said: "We at Allianz believe that every Malaysian out there deserves to have better medical coverage. If so many Malaysians are in need of good medical coverage, we want to offer them that lifeline.
"I cannot stress this enough when I say that, at Allianz Life, protection is our business, but we are very much more invested in enhancing the quality of life of Malaysians out there. That is why it was so important for us to come up with products that will protect and serve Malaysians the best way we can," added Gross.
Allianz Diabetic Essential is launched barely four weeks after the company launched the 3H Cover.
The insurer is offering up to 40% rebate on premiums when clients sign up, depending on their medical report.


Coventry City Manager Mark Robins has said that he needs to be in a position next season that will help the Sky Blues get promoted.
"I won't be signing players unless they can give us that push and that lift to get up because I genuinely don't think we are there yet.
"But the recruitment so far this season has been good, really positive.
"We have signed young players with value and added a lot of experience this season that should benefit us moving forward and going into next season.
"But also we have got to see that from now until the end of the season that they are capable of making that next step to get us to where we want to go because I really don't want to hang about.
"If we can start winning games and getting those points now we are not that far away.
"Performances suggest we are a really good team. Results suggest that we're not quite a good team but in terms of a process we are only a little bit away from turning a corner.

We know. There always seems to be some article or another about the imminent skills gap (closely linked to Brexit).
There's a potential danger that when something is debated publicly for so long, it becomes background noise. Perhaps that's why organisations like The City & Guilds Group partner with Emsi and Censuswide so that it reopens the issue and ignites further debate. As it's an important one to be had.
In their survey, entitled People Power, they interviewed over 1,000 C-Suite employers in the UK. Nine out of 10 employers said they already struggle to recruit the skilled staff they need. What's more, two thirds of UK employers are saying that the skills gap in their business is likely to get worse, or remain the same, in the next three to five years (and given that most industries are expected to grow between now and 2024 that doesn't bode well).
47% of employers said an inability to recruit skilled workers was the top internal factor to impact productivity, whilst 46% said Brexit was the top external factor. That's perhaps not surprising, given 85% said that they currently employ talent from the EU.
So, what's the solution? The research suggests that employers want more support from the Government (45%) and the UK education system (45%) to get the skills they need. Yet they're not passing the buck entirely. 45% say that they need to take responsibility for skills development too.
They also recognised apprenticeships as a potential solution, with 38% of employers saying that it's the role they plan to recruit for most in the next three to five years. And that leadership and management skills is a specific issue for UK employers, with 47% stating that these job levels are the ones they struggle to recruit for most.
Once again, the report carries value in its highlighting the issues at hand. It calls for greater collaboration between employers and the Government to take steps to address the skills shortage. What we've yet to see, after so much admirable beating of the drum, is what's actually going to happen. As we haven't got long to wait.
Kirstie Donnelly, Managing Director of City & Guilds and ILM, said: "The UK is facing a skills gaps crisis which, if goes unaddressed, could have a disastrous impact on UK businesses' ability to compete on a global scale post-Brexit.
"This might seem to paint a bleak picture, but what it should do is provide an impetus for a whole variety of stakeholders to start collaborating on a much bigger scale to ensure that people are being trained in the skills that are needed. This is especially needful in the wake of Brexit, which has meant that growing homegrown talent is now a necessity, not an option.

Explanation:   You're using dynamic sql; putting together a string that contains a SQL command and then executing it.  That dynamic string doesn't have access to parameters and variables that were declared outside of itself.  So it doesn't recognize the @pWeek parameter.  You didn't declare it IN the dynamic sql string.
When you do it the way I showed you, you are concatenating the VALUE of @pWeek into the string, so that, for instance if you passed a value of 1 to @pWeek, then the string that gets executed would contain where Week = '1', which SQL has no trouble understanding.
You were already doing exactly this with this line in your existing code:
 AccountRef_FullName in ('+ @AccountRef_Fullname +')'

In the very same autumn that sees the launch of the first music file-sharing site, napster, with the whole world intoxicated by the new economy and the dot-com bubble, four students in Ulm decide that once their exams are over, they will set up their own business.
Just a few days after their finals, friends Axel Busch, Peter Förster, Roland Hötzl and Marc-Oliver Simon found the start-up Transporeon. The name is derived from "transport" and the ancient Greek word emporeon or emporion (meaning "market place").
The already established TRANSPOREON solutions for transport assignment are complemented by a system for managing loading and unloading on the ramp. One of the first time slot management systems appears on the market.
Student Mark Zuckerberg launches a predecessor of Facebook.
The Ticontract platform for electronic logistics tendering is born of a customer project and becomes a spin-off of Transporeon. The new platform's team relocates to Kempten in the Allgäu region of Germany. Author Tim O'Reilly writes an article in which he coins the term Web 2.0.
Transporeon expands and successfully completes projects in Austria and Poland. This is followed one year later by the foundation of a subsidiary in Krakow to deal with business in Eastern Europe. Media speculation over the planned launch of a mobile phone by Apple intensifies.
The Group advances to become European market leader and is now active and enjoying success in the Benelux countries, France, Great Britain and Italy. The 70 staff celebrate being nominated for the Deutscher Gründerpreis award for entrepreneurship. In its first year, over 3.7 million iPhones are sold.
A new platform is created under the Group's umbrella in order to meet the specific requirements associated with incoming delivery management at retail warehouses and distribution centres. This time slot management spin-off is called Mercareon.
The Internet phenomenon of the year is Twitter, with a monthly growth rate of 1400%.
The Transporeon Group takes on its 150th member of staff, meaning it has more than doubled in size in three years. Ticontract is expanded to include Rate Management, whilst Transporeon gains the new add-on for SAP. The first iPad is launched, seeing Apple revolutionise the market once again.
Transporeon is honoured with a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Award, being named the 27th fastest-growing technology company in Germany. International projects are carried out in the USA, Russia and China; an office is opened in Philadelphia.
Further steps towards globalisation follow: the Transporeon Group has almost 250 employees and establishes offices and businesses in Singapore and Moscow. New functions offered by the Transporeon platform aim to create transparency for consignees and to integrate transport documentation into the logistics process. Facebook passes the milestone of one billion users around the world.
Ticontract expands its portfolio to include freight invoice verification, a self-billing mode and benchmarking. TRANSPOREON develops its first app, enabling customers to now benefit from Mobile Order Management. The workforce doubles again within three years; the company continues to achieve double-figure turnover growth. Users can now be found in 80 different countries.
The Mercareon platform extends its range of services to include a Reporting module for manufacturers supplying products to the retail sector. Ticontract really impresses with its combinatorial optimisation service, whilst Transporeon moves towards telematics solutions and mobile services. According to market research company Gartner, by the end of the year, turnover for business "software as a service" used over the Internet will climb to 21.3 billion dollars worldwide.


Prosper was the first company to introduce marketplace lending all the way back in 2006. Marketplace lending–also known as peer-to-peer lending– was an exciting but yet untested credit product. Nearly 10 years later, Prosper is still a leading marketplace lender, over $5 billion in loans have been funded through Prosper, and nobody thinks peer-to-peer lending is a passing fad. The following article provides an in-depth review of Prosper: its history, interest rates, application process, and the pros and cons you should consider when comparing it to other marketplace lenders.
Who Are Personal Loans Through Prosper Designed For?
Prosper targets prime and super-prime borrowers. This includes people with fair to excellent credit, steady incomes, and a proven track of financial discipline. The minimum FICO required to get a loan through Prosper is 640.
If you don't qualify for a Prosper loan, try Peerform. It's a lending marketplace that considers borrowers with poor credit.
Prosper's target audience would generally qualify for a traditional loan from a bank. However, these customers turn to Prosper because they want an easier and faster route to personal loans than that offered by traditional banks and credit unions.
The most popular reason people turn to Prosper is to consolidate high interest debt. As of October 2015, 288,000 loans have been taken for this purpose. Other popular purposes are home improvements, elective medical procedures, and seed money to start a business. Over $3 billion in loans were originated via the Prosper platform in the last year alone.
All loans through Prosper are unsecured, fully amortized personal loans.
How Do Marketplace Loans Through Prosper Work?
In traditional lending, investors put their money in a bank and receive a small interest rate in return. Banks then lend those savings to borrowers at a much higher interest and keep the difference. Marketplace lenders, such as Prosper, connect borrowers and investors directly. This means investors receive a higher return on their investment and borrowers pay lower interest rates. That way everyone is a winner.
Online loan marketplaces, like Prosper, have used technology to simplify and reduce the cost of underwriting consumer loans. This allows them to target smaller personal loans that wouldn't be cost-effective using traditional banking models.
Under the marketplace lending model, borrowers post a loan listing that includes the loan amount they want and what they plan to do with it. Investors then review the loan listings on the marketplace platform and invest in the listings that meet their personal lending criteria. Borrowers are not required to provide a back story for the loan but doing so can increase the chances a listing is funded by investors. If a listing is posted for 14 days and there aren't enough investors willing to fund it, the application is denied. However, if you continue to satisfy the criteria used to select you for the offer, funding is guaranteed for a $2,000 ($6,000 for MA residents) 3-year loan at the current interest rate for your Prosper rating.
Once the loans are disbursed, borrowers make fixed monthly payments to Prosper, which services the loans and distributes the money to investors.
Another interesting aspect of Prosper's model is that Prosper doesn't technically originate the loans. Instead, they have partnered with WebBank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank that is a member of the FDIC. All loans through Prosper are funded by WebBank. Individual and institutional investors then purchase payment dependent notes from WebBank to receive payments made by borrowers. Turning to a third party to create the loans allows Prosper to avoid regulatory costs and to focus on technology development instead of bank licensing.
What Interest Rates And Terms Are Offered Through Prosper?
Prosper offers unsecured loans with fixed interest rates. As of October 2015, rates start as low as 5.99% and go right up to 36% APR. Visit Prosper's SuperMoney review for the latest rates. Loans through Prosper have terms of either 3 or 5 years. However, there are no prepayment fees, so you don't get penalized for paying a loan off early.
Prosper also charges a closing fee – also known as an origination fee– that ranges from 1.00% to 5.00%. This fee is included in the APR but is deducted from the loan amount you receive before the funds are deposited in your account. This means that if you borrow $10,000 and you have a 5% closing fee, you will only receive $9,500 in your bank account. Keep this in mind, if you need to borrow a specific amount of money.
The interest rates of borrowers are determined by, among other factors, the loan amount, and their Prosper rating: a proprietary system that estimates the average annual loss rate range to investors. The Prosper rating of borrowers also determines how much they can borrow and whether they qualify for 5-year loans or just 3-year loans.
Closing fees are determined by the term of the loan and the Prosper rating of the borrower. For example, an A-rated borrower may pay a 4.00% fee for a 3-year loan and 5.00% for a 5-year loan.
Prosper's rating is a risk assessment model that categorizes borrowers into seven groups: AA, A, B, C, D, E, and HR. The estimated loss rate is calculated from the historical performance of Prosper loans taken on by borrowers with similar characteristics. For instance, a borrower with an AA rating (the highest) has an average annual loss rate of 0.00% to 1.99%. A borrower with an E rating has an estimated average annual loss rate of 12.00% to 14.99%. HR borrowers – the lowest rated – have an estimated average annual loss of over 15.00%.
The loss rate is estimated using two scores: the borrower's credit score obtained from a credit bureau and the Prosper Score, which is based exclusively on Prosper's population of borrowers. The higher the risk of loan default, the higher the interest rate. This helps investors offset their losses and also rewards them for taking on additional risk.
How Much Can You Borrow Through Prosper?
Loans through Prosper range from $2,000 to $35,000. How much you qualify for is also determined by your Prosper rating. Borrowers with an AA to B rating qualify for up to $35,000, while borrowers with an HR rating only qualify for a maximum of $4,000. The table below specifies the maximum loan amount for each credit category.
How Do You Get Approved For A Loan Through Prosper?
A credit score of at least 640. Credit scores vary depending on whether they are based on the credit data collected by TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian. Prosper uses Experian's credit score to determine eligibility.
Sufficient income to pay for the loan.
At least two open credit account on their credit report.
No reported delinquencies (over 30 days late on payments) in the last six months and no bankruptcies in the last year.
A debt-to-income ratio of 50% or less.
An active bank account, a Social Security number and live in a state where loans through Prosper are available. As of October 2015, loans through Prosper are available in all states except Iowa, Maine, North Dakota and Pennsylvania.
What Is Prosper's Application Process Like?
Prosper has a well-designed and intuitive user interface for its loan application form. This section will take an in-depth look into the workflow of Prosper's loan application so you know what to expect.
A nice feature of Prosper's application form is that it gives borrowers the chance to check their interest rate without having to agree to a hard credit inquiry and subsequent credit hit. Finding out your interest rate only takes a minute. Provide the loan amount you want, the purpose of the loan and your credit quality: fair, good, or excellent.
To get their interest rate, borrowers must also provide their full name, address, annual income, line of work and register with a password and username.
Just a few more personal details are necessary before you can post your listing on Prosper's marketplace platform. Borrowers must give their telephone numbers, occupation, date they started working in their current place of employment and their Social Security number.
At this stage Prosper gives borrowers full details on their loan, such as their APR, total interest payments, late charge ($15) and total cost of the loan. It also specifies the origination fee you will be charged. Remember this fee is deducted from the loan amount before the funds are deposited in your bank account. If you agree with the loan terms, tick on the relevant boxes and click away.
The next step is to provide your bank account information, such as bank name, routing number and account number. and wait for investors to fund your loan listing.
Congratulations you finished the application. After one business day the listing will go live and investors can start committing funds to your loan. Prosper will also start a verification process to check your income, address and other information you provided in the application form.
What Are The Benefits and Disadvantages of Loans Through Prosper?
As good a deal as loans through Prosper are, there are still some things that could be better.
The maximum loan amount is $35,000. This is average for personal loans, but it simply isn't enough for many borrowers.
Prosper only offers 3-year and 5-year terms.
There is also a 1% to 5% origination fee to consider that is deducted from the funds deposited in your account.
Prosper is not a direct lender so loan applications may go unfunded if there aren't enough investors interested, regardless of a borrower's credit profile.
Other lenders, such as SoFi, offer lower interest rates. On the other hand, they do have a more stringent eligibility criteria. While Prosper has a higher APR cap, they are also lending to consumers that some others do not.
Nevertheless, there is a lot to love about Prosper.
It is a market leader in peer-to-peer loans and has been in business longer than any of its competitors.
It has some of the lowest interest rates available. Loans have fixed rates from 5.99% to 36.00% APR.
It doesn't charge prepayment fees, so you can pay your loan off as soon as you want without paying a penalty.
No out-of-pocket fees. The origination fee is taken from the loan balance.
Accessible eligibility criteria. Applicants with a credit score as low as 640 are considered.

15 Most Powerful Superheroes Ever!
January 22, 2023 June 20, 2021 by Inbal Kam
Pop culture is packed with Powerful Superheroes who can soar through the sky at amazing speeds, punch through mountains, or do other amazing feats.
For this list, we have excluded characters that are universe creators, or else, we would probably end up with god, from Bruce Almighty or Marvel's One-Above-All at the top of this list. Otherwise, we don't care if it's Marvel, DC, or any of the others. Here, we're just looking for the most powerful superheroes ever, Period!
15 Most Powerful Superheroes Ever
15/15. Hancock (MCU)
Sony Pictures Releasing
Now, we know we're opening this list of superheroes with what may seem like a surprise entry. But it's no surprise really. Hancock is just unbelievingly strong. He is able to easily grab a whale by the tail and throw it a kilometer out into the sea. He can drop an SUV from hundreds of meters up, let it fall most of the way, then just grab it and swing it around like it's made of paper. Hancock's powers are so robust that when he gets hit by a train he doesn't move at all. The train, however, doesn't stand a chance.
He is, of course, bulletproof and doesn't mind getting shot a bazillion times. Hancock is also a very skilled fighter, with the advantage of several millennia of fighting experience. In addition to his superhuman powers, and flight abilities, he can also control and summon high winds and tornadoes. In short, although Hancock might not match up to the likes of Thor or Hulk, we feel he definitely deserves a spot on our list of the most powerful superheroes ever.
14/15. Sentry (Marvel)
Robert Reynolds is a drug addict who broke into a laboratory and consumed an experimental serum called the Golden Sentry Serum. The serum gained him the power of a million exploding suns. He soon sews together a costume and makes his debut as the optimistic blonde superhero.
But the arrival of the Void, a shadowy monster that exploited its enemy's greatest fears, ended the Sentry's charmed life. Reynolds soon discovers that the Void had been the dark aspect of his own powers. To stop him, Reynolds teams with other superheroes to create a system that makes Earth's entire population forget his existence. With the Sentry inactive and forgotten, the Void vanished.
The Sentry's superhuman powers and abilities are derived from Golden Sentry Serum. Which granted him photokinetic-based powers, essentially being fueled by the sun itself (Reminds you of someone? He's not referred to as "Marvel's Superman" for nothing).
His various powers seem to be based on molecule manipulation or reality-warping. All stemming from his base solar-charged body. Through molecule manipulation, he has super-strength powers that enable him to lift well over 100 tons easily.
He can travel to the sun in seconds. Thus making him way faster than light, immortality, light projection, and many other powers. It should be mentioned that Marvel dubbed The Sentry as the world's most powerful superhero at some point in time.
13/15. Wonder Woman (DC Universe)
Aka Princess Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman is the daughter of Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. And the daughter of Zeus, the mightiest and most powerful Gods of Olympus. Diana voluntarily leaves behind her home of Themyscira to fight for justice and equality everywhere. She is the true champion of the Amazona's message of peace.
Upon leaving for Man's World, Diana is gifted with various superhuman powers by the Gods of Olympus. Her powers include inhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and healing. She is a master combatant and can generate energy blasts through her Bracelets of Submission. Thus making her one of the most dreaded warriors in fiction.
12/15. Hulk
Doctor Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, is a well-known theoretical physicist. He was bombarded with a massive dose of gamma rays. As a result, Banner was mutated into the huge, rage-fueled, nearly mindless creature known as The Incredible Hulk.
Fearful of the damage that Hulk could inflict, as well as fleeing from the military, he goes on the run. He is later recruited to the Avengers by S.H.I.E.L.D. They realize that the incredible powers of Banner's alter-ego, Hulk, would be an additional asset to the team.
Hulk is a giant green-skinned humanoid with immense strength fueled by his rage. As a result, the angrier he gets the stronger he becomes. If he were to ever face off an opponent stronger than him, he would probably lose due to his anger management issues.
He is able to withstand blows and attacks of considerable force; even high-caliber bullets bounce off him and flames cause him little damage. Also, regardless of his size, Hulk has superhuman strength allows him to run at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of a human being.
Hulk's incredible strength allows him to rip steel apart as if it were made of paper. He can break vehicles with a single punch, and create a powerful thunderclap to stop a military helicopter from blowing up. Or, throw a tank at a considerable distance. Thus, making him, by definition, one of the most powerful superheroes on Earth, if not the strongest.
11/15. Martian Manhunter (DC Comics)
Described as the Swiss army knife of superheroes, J'onn J'onzz is the Martian Manhunter. He is an alien from Mars who became one of the most powerful superheroes. And one of Earth's biggest protectors after becoming stranded on Earth.
Through his alien physiology and some genetic modifications, J'onn possesses many of the powers of Superman. For example, super strength and speed, flight, super-breath, and regeneration.
On top of that, he also masters the powers such as shape-shifting, invisibility, phasing (through walls), and telepathy. No wonder Martian Manhunter is number eleven on the most powerful superheroes list. Superman himself described Martian Manhunter as one of the most powerful superhero beings, he is afraid to face. We think this statement says it all and deserves a spot on our most powerful superheroes list.
10/15. Flash (DC Universe)
We know what you're saying: what is the fastest man alive doing on this list? Isn't he just fast? Well, that's the biggest misconception about Flash.
The powerful superhero in addition to his speed, the dark matter lightning that struck him also augmented his bones, and entire physiology to easily handle the rigors of his incredible powers. High-level friction, inertia, air pressure, reduced oxygen, and kinetic impact no longer affect him.
The speedster also has the ability to think and act faster than the speed of light. Not only that, but he can phase through walls and other matters. He can read and acquire knowledge at a hyperextended rate. That's even without getting into his ability to travel in time and between different dimensions.
But more than anything, the Flash is indeed fast. Just how fast is he, you ask? Well, fast enough to outrun death. And that's why The Flash takes the tenth spot on our list of most powerful superheroes.
9/15. Thor (MCU)
The Asgardian God of Thunder and a founding member of the Avengers, Thor is currently the most powerful Asgardian within the Nine Realms. As an Asgardian, Thor possesses a list of diverse superhuman powers. His incredible superhuman strength enables him to lift or move immensely heavy objects effortlessly. Such as when he was able to easily catch a falling car with one arm. Thor is also virtually invulnerable, as his skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being. Thus making him impenetrable to human weaponry.
Thor was born with the power to control the weather. That's the reason he is called The God of Thunder. He also has his Warrior's Madness state. When overwhelmed, it increases his strength tenfold and rises his pain tolerance to a phenomenal degree.
We believe the diversity of his powers should earn him a higher place on this list. However, Thor ended a battle with Hulk in a stalemate. Still, Thor is the perfect warrior and one of the most powerful superheroes ever.
8/15. Goku
Born Kakarot, Goku is an alien from a warrior race, who was sent to Earth as an infant to conquer it. However, a head injury at an early age alters his memory and makes him lose his initial destructive nature.
He grows up to become one of Earth's greatest protectors. Goku constantly trains himself to be the greatest warrior possible. He scans the planet for the seven Dragon Balls that, when untied, have the power to summon the Eternal Dragon. It can grant (usually) one wish(s).
Goku is an immortal warrior. Actually, he is one of anime's most powerful superheroes in the manga universe. Often referred to (including by deities) as the most powerful and fittest warrior in Universe 7 (our universe), as well as one of the most powerful characters in all the twelve universes.
A prodigy of combat, Goku continues to near-effortlessly learn practically any new technique he encounters. His natural talent for battle along with his unwavering drive has taken his power to unprecedented levels.
To the point of reaching and rivaling the domain of the Gods of Destruction – deities. The mightiest entities in the multiverse, strong enough to be universally feared.
See also: All Dragon Ball Z Power Levels
7/15. The Silver Surfer (Marvel Comics)
One of the noblest cosmic entities in the universe. The Silver Surfer treasures freedom above all else, but has often sacrificed his liberty for the greater good. Born Norrin Radd on the planet Zenn-La, the Silver Surfer was originally part of an extremely long-lived and technologically advanced humanoid race.
But life changed for him when a menacing alien spacecraft pierced Zenn-La's defense systems. Radd confronted the invader, Galactus the Devourer of Worlds, who intended to consume Zenn-La.
Radd makes the agreement with the demigod to become his herald. He seeks out new worlds for him to satisfy his hunger in exchange for Galactus sparing Zenn-La.
With the agreement complete, Galactus gives Radd a small portion of his Power Cosmic. Radd transforms into a silver-skinned, cosmic-powered super-being. After many years of service, the Silver Surfer finally turns on Galactus and helps fight him off from Earth.
He knows nearly no limit to the speed by which he can do either. In addition, he does not need sleep and projects energy in whichever way he wants. This means that he can destroy planets, create force fields, heal those around him, create interdimensional portals, and phase through solid matter.
If the above isn't enough, he can also see through time, and perceive past and future events. He can even influence human emotion and thoughts and possesses telepathy.
The Silver Surfer is easily one of the most powerful superheroes in the universe. Thanks to Galactus, he possesses superhuman endurance, and strength, and is able to both absorb and manipulate the Universe's ambient energy. He's also able to travel across time and space.
6/15. Saitama
Also known by the hero name of Caped Baldy, Saitama is the Mc Op of the webcomic and the anime series One-Punch Man. He is the most powerful and the most durable being to exist in the series. He is also one of most the powerful superheroes in anime.
Saitama faces a self-imposed existential crisis, as he is already too powerful to gain any thrill from battle. In that, he is very different from most other combat anime characters. Like Goku mentioned earlier, he strives to reach the goal of becoming the strongest person around.
In fact, after only 3 years of rigorous training, he can withstand any blow. He can defeat any enemy with a single serious strike. Let us mention this: So far, no enemy has been able to injure him in any way. Almost no enemy has been able to survive a single earnest punch from him! We think this qualifies him with a high spot on this list of most powerful superheroes.
5/15. Superman (DC Universe)
It comes with little surprise that DC's flagship character is ranked so high in this list of the most powerful superheroes. After all, this is the Man of Steel. The one who needs no introduction to any pop culture fan around the world. Born Kal-El, better known as Superman, is a super powerful and nigh-indestructible alien from the planet Krypton. With superhuman strength and a seemingly indestructible body, he grows to become Earth's mightiest protector.
Thanks to his Kryptonian physiology, while on Earth Superman possesses abilities that appear godlike. His cells store the solar energy of the Earth's yellow sun. Superman can vacuum outer space, fall from great heights, and can withstand extreme heat. Kal-El can also fly at hypersonic speeds and is even capable of exceeding the speed of light.
And if that's not enough, Superman has a super-breath – the ability to significantly focus the intensity of his breath to the point of freezing targets by blowing on them or creating hurricane-force winds at will. He has X-Ray vision – the power to see through most objects. And can emit beams of intense heat from his eyes.
As for the Superman vs. Saitama never-ending debate, we agree that the two are so evenly matched that the fight could go any number of ways. Our only contribution to the discussion is that by our calculations there's no way that Superman will go down in one punch. No wonder he is considered the Justice League's most powerful superhero and leader.
4/15. Uatu The Watcher (Marvel Comics)
A member of one of the oldest groups of beings in the galaxy, The Watchers, Uatu has been assigned to watch over the Earth and record its events. Uatu possesses vast mental, physical, and energy-manipulating powers.
He is telepathic and able to read the minds of virtually every known form of sentient life. On top of that, he can project his thoughts into any mind. He can convert his body to energy to travel across great distances and even fly into hyperspace. He can transport himself and others around him through time.
Uatu is one of the most powerful superheroes in the galaxy. He has unbelievable immunity to physical damage.
In a weakened state, Uatu was easily capable of withstanding the combined full-force strikes of the Invisible Woman, and the Human Torch. He survived a blast from a molecular disruptor designed by Doctor Doom himself. Now, that's what we call power.
3/15. Jean Grey (MCU)
Marvel Entertainment Group
A mutant with vast empathic and telepathic abilities. Eventually, she also developed telekinetic powers that were further amplified by merging with the cosmic energies of the Phoenix Force. A powerful cosmic entity capable of creating or destroying matter in the universe.
Jean Grey is the only known Class 5 mutant, with seemingly limitless powers. Her powers are only limited by her mind. At the full extent of her powers, she can manipulate matter at a molecular level at will; she can generate telekinetic shields or barriers to block; contain and impede targets and atomize nearly anything within her surroundings at will.
With all these amazing powers, Grey is considered one of the most powerful superheroes. She is the most powerful female member of the X-Men team. However, when she transforms into the Phoenix, her powers become very unpredictable.
2/15. Doctor Manhattan (DC Comics)
Source: Comicvine.com
Dr. Jonathan Osterman (Watchmen 2009) was a nuclear physicist who disintegrated in an Intrinsic Field Subtractor test. It transformed him into a god-like being known as Dr. Manhattan. In his new form, Manhattan is shown to be absolutely powerful and invulnerable to all harm; even when his body is disintegrated, he can reconstruct it in a matter of seconds.
His abilities include having complete awareness and control over basic atomic and subatomic particles. He is seemingly invincible and immortal; does not need air, water, food, or sleep, and can teleport himself and others over limitless distances.
He can alter the size of his body, as well as his density and color to whatever he wants. Due to his perception of time, he sees the past, present, and future simultaneously. Actually, Dr. Manhattan is so powerful he could annihilate entire worlds if he wanted to. So, we trust he earned a place in our two topmost powerful superheroes ever.
1/15. The Spectre (DC Comics)
The Spectre is a green superhero and a founding member of the Justice Society of America. He is the divine Spirit of Vengeance – a cosmic entity and the physical embodiment of God's vengeance on Earth.
As a servant of God, The Spectre is granted limitless power, capable of nearly any feat within his imagination. In fact, his raw physical strength is so great he needs a human host to curb his power so he can control it.
As a divine agent, the Spectre has access to virtually all of the knowledge in the universe. He can project a variety of energies and is capable of warping and controlling reality.
Actually, the Spectre can use his reality alteration ability to simulate any form of superpower. He has the ability to warp time and space.

Digital Pathology
Digital Pathology is the process of digitizing pathology samples into image format while attaching all pertinent information, analysis, and annotation. Samples existing in a digital format can be stored, exchanged, viewed, and discussed electronically which allows researchers and clinicians to collaborate in real-time and on-line.
Digital Pathology Environment
Digital pathology is the method of converting sample slides to a digital format for the purpose of storing the data instead of the slide as well as allowing for real-time collaboration and analysis of samples by pathologists anywhere in the world. A fully integrated process can allow for fast, efficient, and powerful dissemination of information between experts. This sort of environment can also replace the need to have pathology experts on location at every institution that processes samples.
The first step in the digital pathology environment is rendering a slide into a digital format. This process is called scanning or digital microscopy. There are two basic forms of digital microscopy. The first is stitching and tiling of many images acquired with a digital camera into a larger mosaic image. This is typically done on a standard microscope with an automated stage and software that enables the accurate positioning of the stage to sample the large area without underlap or overlap as well as their stitching and smoothing together. The other modality of digital microscopy is true scanning of the sample. This involves a line scan detector imaging one row of pixels at a time while the slide itself moves past the detector. Once the image has been scanned it must be able to be viewed.
A large component of any digital pathology platform is the ability to easily and quickly view the sample. A digital pathology viewer must have the ability to zoom in and out of the image and navigate over the large image at high magnification. Other features of a viewer could include the ability to choose virtual magnifications, visualize scale bars, adjust brightness and contrast, and turn layers on and off should the sample have multiple stains in fluorescence.
While virtual pathology will likely involve many slides there needs to be an information management system. Minimally, the images would be managed in a system that has security to control access for viewing, an organizational infrastructure to house the data, and a way of attaching metadata related to the images. The metadata could include institution, pathologist, scan date, clinical study, image magnification, imaging technician, etc. All of these components need to be interrelated with high fidelity.
With the sample now rendered digital, viewed, and catalogued the next step is analyze for specific features. This can be done by a pathologist using the traditional methods of hand scoring and annotating or by software algorithms designed to segment and quantify the image into relevant terms. The end result is the same, a report that has pre-clinical or clinical relevance to the entire team of scientists and doctors.
The elegance of digital pathology is truly gained when all of these elements can be tightly integrated into a work flow and can likely be automated. Once all the steps are integrated within themselves, they should ultimately be integrated to the institution(s) information system so that data is generated as efficiently as possible and made available to as wide an audience as is necessary. This way the physical work can be centralized and the data can be made global.
The final element is crucial to the power of digital pathology. Sharing and collaborating on cases worldwide is where the real power lies. Scientists and clinicians from the institution of sample source or from other remote outposts with specialists can view the images, analysis, and clinical data simultaneously while deliberating on the results and what they mean. All the collaborators will need is an internet connection and their expertise.
Digital pathology is an environment in which a sample slide is scanned, viewed, managed, analyzed, integrated, and shared. The power in this process is that it can be automated and centralized which allows for faster processing, reduced cost, increased system uptime, and more expertise brought to bear on the analysis. With the potential for cloud based applications and storage, the scope of digital pathology can be spread to supoort researchers and clinicians across the globe.

gullbuy music review
title:: Wave:CD
label:: Rephlex
Edward Upton is an English electro artist who has been recording as DMX Krew for almost a decade.
Wave:CD is a two CD set - the first disc is the new record, the second disc has slightly reworked versions of 13 tracks from the DMX Krew catalog.
title:: Timeless
label:: Rev-Ola
Eternity's Children had previously worked with Keith Olsen and Curt Boettcher. After brief stints releasing a single on the small Apollo label, a single on A&M and an album for the Tower label, they turned to Gary Paxton to produce their second album.
Eternity's Children basically existed as two entities, and it was the second lineup that recorded the second album, Timeless. This album for some reason was originally only released in Canada.
title:: One By One
label:: Light in the Attic
Free Design's 6th and final album recorded for the Project 3 label in 1971 can be seen on many different levels. First and foremost, it's a harmony folk pop gem, with the siblings' vocals joining together to create a blissed out harmony tour de force.
On another level, it's a hippie-fied answer to all that was wrong in the world, including the lack of success for the band.
New Rose Story 1980 - 2000
label:: Last Call
This mammoth 4 CD set chronicles the French label New Rose, started in 1980 by Patrick Mathé and Louis Thévenon.
There are many tracks that you have never heard and will be glad to hear, as well as some tracks you surely will know, especially if you were a fan of the label.
Now is the Winter of our Discount Tents
label:: Twisted Nerve
The first in a promised series of CD compilations to come, Discount Tents is comprised of vinyl releases from T. N.'s catalogue from the past 18 months. Loving compiled and "currated" by the label owners with unapologetic confidence in their bands and the sounds they bring forth.
Although this is not the "next new thing" or the ground-breaking new sound we all desire to bring a fresh new revolution to the musical underground, you are guaranteed some fine and interesting songs to cozy up to and enjoy.

Q: How can I create a url to open a gmail email using Gmail API if I know its(email) id? I am using gmail and want to open already sent email in separate window by URL. I have that email's id, got it using GMAIL API.
So the question is, how can i create a url to open a gmail email using Gmail API if I know its id?
What I tried:
if you know id of draft in gmail you can open it in separate window using compose
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#drafts?compose=new <- here need to change new to id of needed email for example https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#drafts?compose=msg-a:r8357142279172082424
and it will open it.  But this thing only works for drafts not for example Sent emails

Elizabeth's Oracle: Readings
Reading with love
Forecast Dec 13-31, 2021: Living The Dream
December 12, 2021 by Elizabeth Pendleton
2021 has familiarized everyone with the essence of the Saturn Uranus squares in fixed signs. Even after December 24th's final exact square, Saturn and Uranus will remain in tight alignment for much of 2022. Additionally the eclipses and node shifts into Taurus and Scorpio will apply more pressure to the fixed signs. That said, for beleaguered Tauruses, Leos, Scorpios and Aquariuses, with yet another year of obstacles ahead of them, some relief is in sight. On December 28th Jupiter will stop inflating tensions when it exits Aquarius and re-enters Pisces.
In the mutable water sign, it will collaborate with immeasurable Neptune. As noted in the previous article, Neptune's spheres of influence range from delusion to spiritual enlightenment. Jupiter will be in Pisces from December 28, 2021 to May 10, 2022 and from October 27th to December 20th of next year. In the collective, the co-presence of Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces may manifest as mass confusion over further virus infiltration and mutation and incoherent and widely varying public health policies. On the other hand, soul unfoldment may take place at an exponentially accelerated rate. Artistry of a profound caliber is also likely to flourish during this time. The creativity that Neptune and Pisces foster is of course highly susceptible to intoxication and spacing out, and Jupiter expands whatever it comes into contact with. To ground all of the inspiration that will beam in from Jupiter and Neptune, the cosmos is serving up a hearty dose of sober, serious Capricorn.
Sale at Elizabeth's Oracle
The first of three Venus Pluto conjunctions in Capricorn took place on December 11th. On December 13th Mercury will enter the cardinal earth sign, followed by the Sun on the 21st. Astrology's tenth sign is where ambitions form and where the work to achieve their aims gets done. The next Venus Pluto conjunction will occur on December 25th, and the final one on March 3, 2022. Remarkably, informative Mercury will join Venus and Pluto in late December and Mars be in the midst of Venus and Pluto in early March. Mercury and Pluto will conjoin at 25 Cap 53 on December 30th and Venus, Mars and Pluto will meet in the 27 degree range near the new Pisces Moon of March 2nd. Translation: the co-mingling of Pisces's imagination and Capricorn's pragmatism starting now will culminate in early March. Afterwards, transforming Pluto will carry, and amplify, the Capricorn component into the rest of the year. Fortunately, the Capricorn Pisces axis, that all of the aforementioned planets will be traversing, forms the agreeable sexile. This is a flowing aspect, in contrast to the harshness of the fixed sign squares. Though Capricorn and Pisces attain their ends in starkly different ways, their energies can be synthesized harmoniously and to great effect. So even while long-abiding structures continue collapsing, it's time to start living the dream.

Forecast Nov 29-Dec 12, 2021: It's About To Get Real
November 28, 2021 by Elizabeth Pendleton
Precisely conveying the meaning of Neptune is about as easy as nailing down a piece of jello. Fully describing its retrograde is even more complicated. Then again, this is the elusive planet of dreams, illusion and deception that is invisible to the naked eye. Its gamut runs from fully realized enlightenment to clinical insanity, with addictions thrown somewhere in between. Definitions aside, the distant rascal has been retrograde since June 25th, and on December 1st it will station and begin to make forward progress. Fittingly, Neptune's shift into down gear went largely undetected. June 10th's solar eclipse in Gemini and June 17th's Saturn Uranus square were making all of the headlines. That doesn't mean that the oceanic outer planet hasn't been performing its primary duty, dissolution, for this entire time. Since October 30th, when provocative Mars entered emotionally-charged Scorpio, Neptune has had a willing and most capable partner in the revelation sector. Cooperatively working from water signs, the two planets have crystalized much and supported a good deal of reprioritization. Notably, Neptune's coming station is tied to the bookend solar eclipse to June 10th's.
On one hand, December 4th marks the end of the Gemini/Sagittarius eclipse series that began on June 5, 2020. Further, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces (where Neptune is) are all mutable signs. Mutable signs are associated with closure. On the other hand, new Moons signify initiation. When said new Moon is in Sagittarius, the next horizon is emphasized. In the background, indelible Neptune is presiding over this moment, when one tide is coming in as the as old one pulls out. If the intangibility of this aspect feels too nebulous, Venus and Pluto are about to linkup in down-to-earth Capricorn.
On December 11th the two will meet for the first of their coming conjunctions. In the sign of institutions, government and big business, the two are bound to ignite macro-economic trends that will manifest into the lives of multitudes of ordinary people. Several big ticket spending items will be before the US Congress at this time. Capricorn is of course where Venus, the personal money planet, will be retrograde from December 19th through January 29, 2022. It is also the sign reforming Pluto inhabited when the GFC got going in earnest back in 2008.
This combination of a personal planet in direct contact with a generational, global influencer suggests that their impact will be clear and substantial. Also, that these meetings will take place in the Saturn-ruled earth sign, underscores the element of sobriety, an interesting antidote to Neptune's less desirable, escapist tendencies. It is said that Jupiter represents belief and Neptune faith. The new (Jupiter-ruled) Sagittarius Moon and eclipse will offer hope and aspiration. Neptune, with some undeniable clarity from Mars in Scorpio, is delivering the insights. Finally, Venus and Pluto are bringing reality to the party.

I'm a long-time onlooker on this forum. I have read many posts with interest, and a number of posts I have saved for future reference. I am a pastor and a PhD student (New Testament) at a seminary. My goal is to gain real reading proficiency in Greek. I have taken a lot of Greek courses, but they have all been taught in the standard format. In terms of those courses, my Greek is very competent. However, I do not feel at home with reading. I still rely on a great deal of memorization. I have not read the entire New Testament in Greek (that seems ridiculous if I hope to do New Testament scholarship). Certain parts of the New Testament are impossible without the aid of a Reader's Edition. I am fascinated by the approach of those with a background in classics. I would love some advice on achieving greater reading proficiency. I know the key to this is reading lots of Greek, but I have some questions about that.
(1) Is a Reader's Edition a decent approach or is this too much of a crutch? A paragraph in Acts in my UBS takes me quite some time due to looking up words, but I do feel I retain these better. What's the proper balance here?
(2) Should I continue memorizing vocabulary? What do I do when I understand very little of a text?
(3) What would be a suggested reading plan? I can devote 30-60 min each morning to reading and should be able to get 30–60 min again in the afternoon or evening. Some days, I could probably squeeze out more. I will admit this is a new way of thinking for me because I can't imagine reading Greek for more than about an hour.
Also, as a note, I'm taking a course on Acts this semester. Any suggestions on a reading plan related to that would be much appreciated.
Thanks for allowing me to participate in the discussion!
30 minutes to an hour a day should be enough, but you want to spend your time actually reading in Greek, with as little distraction as possible from looking things up. At the same time, you want to notice the details, including the grammatical form of each word and what it means. Ideally, you want to just read Greek without looking anything up, but understand everything you read, but you can't do both at the same time so you have to find the right compromise.
A Reader's Edition is one way of making it easier to look up a word quickly and get back to reading. Some computer-based reading environments do the same. Grosvenor and Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis to the Greek New Testament works well for this too, and is tied to an intermediate grammar.
We didn't have reader editions then, and had to do stuff the old fashioned way, and look them up. Memorizing vocabulary is a good thing, but best if you do it the context of what you are reading. The professor I mentioned above had a rule: if you have to look it up three times, make a vocabulary card and memorize it. You can build vocabulary quite quickly using that method.
Anyway, just rambling. You have made an excellent beginning and will have great success. The real key is perseverance.
Some computer-based reading environments do the same.
I'm curious what you have in mind here. I use Accordance for exegetical work.
Better yet, involve more of your senses, write down the phrase in which a new word occurred. Even better, write another sentence using the same word, or write a question about the sentence that involves the word and answer it using a different form of the same word.
Thanks! That is a super practical piece of advice.
This is really helpful as well!
So, in response to your suggestions, I spent about 30–45min reading Acts 5 this morning. I used a Reader's Edition so I would have access to new words, but I tried to read slowly. In fact, I read the entire chapter out loud. This allowed me to focus on forms and phrases. I think I got more out of my reading this morning. Now, I am certain I have forgotten a lot of the new words. Should I try to make a rapid pass through the chapter again? Or, just keep going? I know Wallace's NT Reading plan suggests seeing each chapter three times. That got a little boring to me.
Reading out loud certainly helps. Another great help is to get and listen to audio of the passages you want to read. Listen to a chapter several times and then read the text form. Then listen again while reading the text form. If you go to the Resources page of my blog, Let Ancient Voices Speak, https://letancientvoicesspeak.wordpress.com/, you will find some good audio resources. One caveat, even if you used Erasmian pronunciation in your coursework, go for a modern Greek pronunciation or Randall Buth's Restored Koine one. This will help with the flow when you speak Greek and definitely is more pleasant to listen to. The more you listen, you will start to understand what you hear and this in turn will help reading comprehension. At least, that has been my experience.
(1) Is a Reader's Edition a decent approach or is this too much of a crutch? A paragraph in Acts in my UBS takes me quite some time due to looking up words, but I do feel I retain these better.
That's what Accordance is used for looking things up.
What do I do when I understand very little of a text?
Write it out on lined paper leaving several blank lines between each line of text. Attach notes on lexical and grammatical issues between the lines. If you prefer you can do this in Accordance but you will miss the experience of actually forming the letters which is important. This is time consuming but it is a sure method of mastering a difficult text. I gave up writing complete texts by hand after acquiring my first greek fonts in 1989 from Philip Payne. I continued hand writing each word I had to lookup.
For classical texts I highly recommend downloading Geoffrey Steadman's pdfs.
Another option is learning by heart passages that are meaningful to you, whether in the Greek Bible or in other authors. Writing these out by hand several times helps, as well as reciting them out loud. I have done this with some Bible passages and it is very useful.
Another great help is to get and listen to audio of the passages you want to read.
Thanks for this suggestion. I haven't ever done this. I did learn the Erasmian pronunciation. I will look into the other options. I appreciate your additional recommendations as well.
Stirling, thanks for your recommendations. I had some Steadman Latin texts on my Amazon wishlist. I had no idea they were available on his website. Thanks to you, I read some Caesar this week as well!
Now, I am certain I have forgotten a lot of the new words. Should I try to make a rapid pass through the chapter again? Or, just keep going? I know Wallace's NT Reading plan suggests seeing each chapter three times. That got a little boring to me.
I at least have found reading three times really, really powerful. If you find it boring, perhaps try and read one section thoroughly, but just read through the others at a fast pace, aiming for a decentish level of comprehension, but viewing those sections as quick revision. Or make the first section a focused study of comprehension, looking up more words and grammar, the second a quick read, and the third a prayerful, devotional read.
Often I find I see a lot more on the second or third read through anyway!
Linked to this, you asked about vocabulary. I have found it helpful to make my own course in memrise, with each level focused on a single book. So, make a list of words in e.g. John's gospel used less than 10 times in the whole bible, or whatever your threshold is, learn those, and then go on to the next book, but subtract the words you learned from John. It requires a little faffing with Logos/accordance/whatever to get set up, but the first time you read a whole book without looking up a word is just wonderful. Link it with triple reading, and it cements the learning in much more effectively.
I at least have found reading three times really, really powerful.
I agree that three seems to be helpful. For the past few days, I have been reading 30–50 verses. After completing those once, I do a second reading immediately. Then, the next day, I being by reading those verses a third time before moving to a new 30–50 (2x). This is taking a while (45-60 min), but I'm learning a lot more vocabulary. If I don't remember vocabulary on the third reading, I write it down to memorize it later per a suggestion above. I agree that I see more the second and third times through the text. I find the second reading to be more devotional with the structure I'm employing. As for it being boring, this is my main struggle at times. Sometimes, I just don't want to do those additional readings.
