'Power Pack' Co-Creator June Brigman Looks Back on Marvel History
Celebrate Marvel's 80th anniversary with our final foray into the ever-lovin' '80s!
by Ben Morse
Each week, the Best of the Decade column honors 80 years of comic book excellence by spotlighting a single issue from the House of Ideas beloved by the best in the business!
It's 1984, and artist June Brigman has to shatter writer Louise Simonson's perfect fictional family for their new POWER PACK series to stand a chance of success.
"I think my contribution was the idea that the kids would argue and fight and be jealous," she recalls. "Weezie got along so well with her sisters that she hadn't considered this. But she really ran with it when she realized how much fun it was to make the kids be brats."
Brigman and Simonson—Weezie to her close friends and colleagues—created something special with the Power siblings and their science-fiction-tinged adventures throughout the 1980s. It's an enduring Marvel concept—one that the duo will revisit later this year with POWER PACK: GROW UP #1 as part of the ongoing 80th anniversary celebration!
As part of our own recognition of this Marvel milestone, we talked to the brilliant Brigman about the origins of Power Pack, working next to the biggest names of the '80s, and more.
What was your first exposure to comic books, and specifically to Marvel?
I didn't read comic books as a child. My boyfriend, now husband, Roy Richardson introduced me to comics. He had to show me how to read them, I didn't understand in what order to read the balloons. The first Marvel story that still inspires me to this day was [an issue of WHAT IF? starring the Avengers] written by Jim Shooter, drawn by Gil Kane, and inked by Klaus Janson. The artwork was incredibly dynamic. And the story was classic comic book storytelling. Then I got into Frank Miller's DAREDEVIL and Walt Simonson's THOR.
Where did your interest in art come from, and when did you decide to pursue it as a career?
I've always loved drawing. It was how I entertained myself as a child. When I started college, I knew I wanted to be a professional artist. And I probably would have stayed in school and majored in illustration if Roy hadn't taken me to a comic book convention in Atlanta around 1979. I got to meet Gil Kane, Bernie Wrightson, and Michael Kaluta. I saw these guys doing these beautiful sketches without any reference. No models, no photos. It was amazing. And I think that's when I decided to become a professional comic book artist.
As a professional who got her start in the '80s, what did you notice was changing about comics during that period?
It was a time of great creative freedom for artists and writers. Creators like Walt Simonson, Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, and John Byrne breathed new life into the Marvel Universe. There were as many different styles as there were artists. There was no house look. It was a really exciting time to be in the business of making comics.
What was Marvel like as a place to work in the '80s?
It was a great experience. Even though the company was expanding like crazy, it still felt like a small family. Remember, this was before the internet. There was no emailing files. So a lot of freelancers lived in the area. You'd run into friends at the office, go to lunch, dinner, parties. If you needed help meeting a deadline, you could send out an SOS and have a jam session of great artists. I made lifelong friends and connections that have helped me throughout my 35-year career.
How did you connect with Louise Simonson?
I met Weezie on my very first visit to Marvel. She was an editor then, and I was making the rounds, showing my portfolio. She asked if I could draw children and I said yes. And that's how it all started. I don't know if I would have had a career in comics if I hadn't met Weezie. She really gave me my big break. And we've been friends ever since.
Where did the concept for Power Pack come from? Why did you feel this was a valuable and important idea?
It was Weezie's concept. While I did have some input, it was really all her idea.
At the time, I didn't quite understand what we had. I knew it was different, but I didn't grasp just how special this idea of sibling Super Heroes was. It may be more important now than when the book was first released in 1984. I think that, in the current state of dark and gritty and nasty comics, that it's important to have a book that's all ages. This is why Power Pack has stood the test of time. It's why people come up to me at conventions and tell me that they read the book when they were kids, and now their kids love reading POWER PACK too.

What are your favorite moments from your initial run on POWER PACK, both in terms of what you produced and stuff behind the scenes?
I think my favorite story is "The Kid Who Fell to Earth" [from POWER PACK #16] where we meet Kofi, the young Kymellian, and Franklin Richards meets Power Pack. It had a lot of emotional impact. Plus, it was just fun to draw.
As far as behind the scenes, it was great getting to hang out with Weezie and her husband Walt. They lived on the Upper West Side, a block away from the Dakota. This was also Power Pack's neighborhood, so I got to experience it first hand.
How did Power Pack fit into the Marvel of the 1980s?
Power Pack fit into the Marvel Universe amazingly well. They teamed up with Cloak and Dagger, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde, even the Punisher. They were Super Heroes in a Super Hero universe. They were just a little younger. And shorter.
What do you feel is the lasting legacy of Marvel comics from that era?
I suppose the most obvious effect of the '80s can be seen on the big and small screen, the movies and the [TV] shows. But I think the creativity of the '80s is the reason why we all still know and love these characters and their stories.

Enhancers Interpreters Themes Forum Contact
O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
To dream of a store represents ideas or choices we are considering. The choice or opportunity to think differently. Considering making a lifestyle choice. Some area of your life where you serious about doing something different. "Talking to yourself" about a potential change or new idea. You may be "shopping" for various choices before making a final decision. Recognizing that a change may be needed in your life and making an effort to pursue that change.
Negatively, dreaming about being in a store may reflect feelings about making a change in your life being mandatory. Believing a change is needed when it really isn't. Not liking yourself enough they way you are. Allowing yourself to be influenced in ways that may not being helpful or good for you.
To dream of a salesperson trying to convince you to make a purchase in a store may reflect your own attempts to weigh the benefits of a choice. Your attempt to convince yourself or "sell" yourself on a choice or belief. It may also reflect someone in your life trying to influence you to change.
Example: A man dreamed of walking into a clothing store. In waking life he was considering making big changes to his personality believing it would improve his life if he tried it.
Example 2: A man dreamed of walking into a store to buy a book from an expert and discovered that they first book he picked up was red and unsuitable. In waking life he was considering getting very serious about his studies of a personal hobby and realized that the first few books he looked at for the topic were written by incompetent people.
Example 3: A woman dreamed about her mother taking her to a store. In waking life he brother had moved out of her home and she was considering ideas on how to change the relationship to strengthen it.

TITANIC CONCERT IN LONDON IN APRIL 2015
Remember: It should have been on May 19, 1999 in London. James Horner and Sony Music had organized the Titanic concert. In the program, there would have been two suites written for the album, Back To Titanic: "Titanic Suite", "Epilogue – The Deep and Timeless Sea", as well as a Celtic medley including Patriot Games / Braveheart / The Devil's Own and the world premiere of a ballet, Celtic, with the Riverdance troupe. Unfortunately consumed by the composition of the score for Mighty Joe Young, the composer had not time to finish his ballet and the concert had to be canceled.
16 years later, a similar event will finally take place. Avex Classics International and the Royal Albert Hall organize Titanic Live. This concert will feature James Horner himself conduct a 90-piece orchestra, a choir, and Celtic musicians whilst the film will be projected on the big screen in stunning high definition. This world premiere event will take place on Monday 27 April 2015 – 7:00 PM.
James Horner commented:
"I am very flattered, and delighted to have been invited to perform the score of Titanic live with orchestra. Usually, putting the music into a film is a highly technical process that the audience never gets a chance to see. By performing the music live with the film, you, the audience, will experience the magic of seeing the live musicians, literally playing the music score as the film runs. There are so many wonderfully talented people that perform the music of film scores, so it is a great honour for me to have the opportunity to share the experience, the musicians' performances, all the 'behind the scenes' magic, with an audience."
Maggie O'Herlihy, Head of Europe and the Americas, Avex Classics International said:
"We are thrilled to announce the world premiere of Titanic Live at the Royal Albert Hall. When Titanic's epic score takes centre stage, audiences will be able to immerse themselves in the hauntingly beautiful sound-world James Horner crafted like never before."
After the slight disappointment of not seeing James Horner conduct his own music at the two Hollywood In Vienna concerts in 2013, the composer seems this time decided to conduct an older work, like he did at the Royal Albert Hall on 27 March 2012 for the world premiere of Titanic 3D. Indeed, just before the film, James Horner conducted a 20-minute piece, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Jasper Hope, Chief Operating Officer at the venue, commented:
"The Royal Albert Hall was the venue for the world premiere of Titanic 3D. On that unforgettable evening, James Horner took the baton to conduct a 20-minute suite from his score – the most popular orchestral soundtrack of all time – the emotion and romance of the music sending shivers down the spine of everyone in the auditorium. We are delighted that James will now return to conduct the world premiere performance of Titanic Live, with his incredible score performed live and in full for the first time to accompany a high definition screening of the blockbuster film."

Goodbye Quebec, Unions, And Mainstream News?
September 1st, 2012 - Poletical Online Survey
Last month, Poletical asked its readers four questions. With a provincial election just around the corner in Quebec and a national poll reflecting the nonchalance of almost half of Canadians about separatism, this site's visitors were asked if they think Quebec should separate. The results were less polarizing and far more unanimous than expected.
Visitors were also asked about labour unions, bias in mainstream news, and filibusters. 49% of the respondents were from B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan. 51% of respondents were from Manitoba, Ontario, and Eastern Canada. Once all votes from outside of Canada and from 'unknown' locations were removed, there were 522 Canadian votes.
These were the results.
These results show a very clear distaste for filibusters, with 87% of all respondents saying that members of parliament should have time restrictions during question period and debates in the House Of Commons.
61% of respondents said Quebec should separate. Respondents for this question were not given an option to be 'unsure'.
57% of respondents said they would not join a labour union if they were given a choice. 'Unsure' was not an option.
A slim majority of respondents said they do not believe that Canada's mainstream news outlets are capable of unbiased political reporting. Only 40% believe Canada's news outlets are capable of reporting political news without some sort of slant.


This past week, I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Steve Cullen of Medfield, MA. His father, Steve Cullen Sr., led a successful dance band in New England during the 1930s, and before that played with one of the most popular groups in the area during the 1920s, "Za Za Ludwig and his Vaudeville Boys." Ludwig was quite a popular act, and always had a good band.
Incredibly, the entire music library of the Cullen band was preserved all these years, organized in boxes and through an alpha-numeric catalog system. Last Wednesday, I went to Steve (Jr)'s house, and we spoke about the band, his fathers story, and the arrangements. Most generously, Steve donated the arrangement library to the ABBPS!
Steve Cullen's arrangements wouldn't be filed away someplace, but rather played and made available. Already, four of the arrangements were played by Dan Gabel and the Abletones at a dance gig! The tunes were a hit as the dancers loved the music, and the band did a great job sight-reading the charts.
We are looking forward to bringing more of these wonderful arrangements from Steve Cullen's collection back to life!

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire Review!
September 17, 2019 June 3, 2021 Sal Perales
"At the edge of the galaxy
Black was the spire
That called me to stay.
A beacon for drifters
Forgotten and lost
The spire summoned those
Broken and tossed"
The Resistance's best spy.
This book is the one that really explains the Resistance and First Order presence on Batuu. Delilah Dawson also continues the adventures of characters she introduced us to in Phasma. If you read that book you have a great handle on how she really gives her books a distinct identity. This book is no different. If you are very much into connecting to the bigger story than this is probably the Galaxy's Edge offering for you. The characters we know and meet are really given depth and each fill out the story in a unique way. The characters here REALLY shine.
So basically: Come for Vi, stay for new friends.
So right away I'm a Vi fan.
I thought she was awesome in Phasma and was excited to see her being a big part of Galaxy's Edge. In addition to the fact that it's just really cool that a character from a book is now a big part of this immersive experience, she is an interesting character that made an impact on me. In this book, Vi sort of has to expand out of her wheelhouse a bit. Setting up a Resistance base on Batuu takes a lot more than spying, infiltration, shadowing, procuring intel, and close-quarters combat. Vi's mission from General Organa is to recruit, gather allies, ships, and everything they need for the Resistance to run. It's a bit outside of her usual ways so it's fascinating to watch her learn, adapt, and become what Leia believes she can be.
Vi is a spark.
The former Captain Cardinal returns. Joining Vi in her mission after recovering from his near-death escape from the First Order. Although no longer a part of that tyrannical regime, Archex (his birth name) finds himself lost. Without a purpose, broken in mind, crippled in body, and adrift in spirit. Archex finds his newfound freedoms and physical limitations overwhelming. As if he is crushed by the weight of the things he was supposed to be. Archex was never prepared to live a normal life.
Savi's Scavengers
The mysterious Savi and his scavengers play a part in this story as well. Scavenging seems to be a great way to pick up some extra spira on Batuu. Savi's people all seem to be peaceful and knowledgeable. On Batuu Savi remains another of the powers that keep the planet at peace in addition to Oga Garra and Dok-Ondar. Savi seems to use his influence to keep the balance.
Loveable Misfits
The locals.
Not just from BSO but some of the outskirts as well. A farm boy named Dolin who has known nothing other than life on his grandmother's farm. Kriki, a chadra-fan tech expert who endures harsh treatment by her boss at the outpost. Zade, a charismatic smuggler who is great at getting people to buy him drinks in a cantina. Part of Vi's mission is to recruit. Dawson described her book as:
"on one side of the book I liken it to 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine In Space.' It's this group of lovable misfits who are all banded together and learning how to be part of the Resistance."
The characters and their impossibly varied backgrounds make their journey together that much stronger. What inspires someone to fight? What makes everyday folk believe they can make a difference? In the face of impossible odds what makes people refuse to give up? It's these characters who all find their way to their own answers that give us the most heartfelt moments.
Out beyond Savi's path is the Ancient Ruins. And much like the Rebels before them, the Resistance makes the best of what they can find. As we have already seen in Galaxy's Edge the ruins become the Resistance base camp on Batuu. Hidden and as well protected as can be is exactly what the Resistance needs. I assume we will eventually get to see much more of the ruins when the Rise of the Resistance ride opens soon. For now, this is the best look we get as we watch Vi begin to build.
Just like A Crash of Fate, the parts of the book that take place on Black Spire make you feel like you are there. Oga's Cantina, Salju's station, the market, and the milk stand. Like I said before, being a visitor to Batuu myself it feels like it heightens the experience. I don't think the location of the story hinders it at all. In fact, to me, it makes it that much more immersive to hear of the things that have happened on the very spots I've visited. Things like this make the galaxy impossibly real.
The First Order
The First Order threat is real in this book. And once they arrive at Black Spire the gravity and danger they bring with them is palpable (not to be confused with Palpatine.) As Lieutenant Kath and his stormtroopers begin their subjugation of the Battuan residents it's clear that something must be done. Vi, as rebels usually are, is impossibly outnumbered and outgunned. And Kath is definitely one of the most brutal and bloodthirsty weapons ever created by the First Order.
Battles Leave Scars
Healing is one of the biggest themes explored in this book. How much damage until we are broken? Are there things that can never be fixed? How do we cope with the aftermath of our actions? Our regrets? With Vi recovering from her capture and torture at the hands of her former enemy now ally who is struggling with his own shattered identity we see what it takes. It's not what breaks us, it's how many times we can put ourselves together. It's the strength it takes to rebuild, ourselves and each other. It's taking that regret and making a difference. It's seeing the beautiful splendor of the human (or chadra-fan) spirit and finding that strength to rise.
It's taking that last spark and building it into a fire again.
This has so many great moments in it. A retreat on Cerea, The Cataclysm, D'Qar, Castilon isn't safe, Green Leader, friends of Lor San Tekka, Fossil, Cookie, Mubo and his depot, Salju can fix anything, grandma takes no BS, the gentleman's game, Arta's shop, half-off droids, 8D-J8, Snoke's butt, the artifact, an ebon hawk, Waba the truffleboar, Ronto Wraps, Legends of Leia, the story of Crait, Rey, definitely not Parnassos, the Gatherers, a Ubese helmet, Toniray, and the gleam.
This book connects to the bigger galactic story of the Resistance while still giving us a personal story with characters we care about. This is something I definitely recommend on your must-read list. I imagine it gives us a peek at the state of the galaxy and more precisely, the Resistance, after The Last Jedi.

Dead Poets Live
The Print Room at the Coronet
103 Notting Hill Gate, London, W11 3LB
Dead Poets Live returned to The Print Room with Denise Gough reading Sylvia Plath.
Sylvia Plath was born in Boston in 1932 and died in London, aged 30, in 1963. In her brief career she produced some of the most rich, authoritative and riveting poetry of the 20th century. The best-known of her poems – among them 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy', 'The Applicant', 'Tulips' – arrived in the extraordinary torrent of creativity unleashed in her final months, posthumously collected in Ariel. The evening retraced the journey along the route that Plath took, by various poetic turns, to the voice, the unique and definitive voice, of those final poems.
Proceeds from the evening went to Safe Passage.
Denise Gough astonished audiences and critics in London and New York with her performance in People, Places & Things, for which she was awarded the Olivier Award for Best Actress in 2016 and the Obie Award in 2018. She returned to the National Theatre in 2017, and won the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress in the revival of Angels in America. Recent TV work includes Guerrilla and the title role in Conor McPherson's mini-series, Paula. Recent films include Steel Country, 71 and Jimmy's Hall.

Tim Milam, president of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage, is a native of Cabin Creek, West Virginia, which shares the distinction of also being the home town of former NBA star Jerry West. Tim was born to Anthony and Drema Milam on Valentine's Day, 1963, the youngest of six children. Tim learned the value of hard work from the examples set by both of his parents, and by an early age was working in a local grocery store. During junior high school, Tim met his future wife, Vicki, and also pursued an active interest in baseball, playing for his schools and dreaming of the day when he might be a member of his favorite professional team, the New York Yankees.
After graduating from high school, Tim attended the University of Charleston, WV, on a baseball scholarship. During his time there, he and Vicki married when Tim was 20 years old and, two years later, had their first child, Joey. Tim earned a degree in computer science and then entered banking, working his way up from teller to regional collections director. Five years later, at the urging of his brother Paul, Tim and his family relocated to Wilmington, where he entered the real estate business with Wilmington Sea Coast Properties in Wrightsville Beach, which Paul had started and was making successful.
Two years later, Tim and Vicki's second child, Sara, was born as Tim continued to build his real estate career as a sales person and manager. In 1997, Paul decided to move from Wilmington and Tim purchased the business, which had been renamed Sea Coast Realty after joining the Coldwell Banker franchise in 1993. Under Tim's direction, the company has grown from one to a total of 11 offices in four Southeastern North Carolina counties, with over 400 sales associates, staff, and managers. In 2012, the company merged with Coldwell Banker Advantage to form a regional powerhouse. Together, they boast a sales team of more than 800 Sales Associates and 30 sales offices in Raleigh, Wilmington, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, Southern Pines and other Eastern North Carolina markets.


DENVER (KFSM) -There was no second half comeback this time around for the Little Rock Trojan who was looking to go to the program's first ever Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. The Trojans fell 78-61 to the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday in the second round.
What seemed like it could have been a reflection of that first round game against Purdue, was anything but. Josh Hagins was held yet again to a mere two first half points. Except this time around he didn't pour on 29 after the break. Hagins only added six points in the second half.
Roger Woods was UALR's leading scorer with 19 points, and 10 rebounds. Behind him was Lis Shoshi with 10 points.
The Cyclones advance to their second Sweet 16 in three years behind Georges Niang's 28 points. Iowa State will play the winner of Virginia/Butler in Chicago next weekend.

Inspired Burns
As part of the Year of Homecoming 2009, in partnership with Culture Sport Glasgow, artruist organised "Inspired", a major exhibition celebrating the life and work of Robert Burns.
"Inspired" was on display in the Old Reading Hall at The Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The exhibition featured around 50 contemporary works of art inspired by Burns's life and works alongside a small selection of Burns related relics.
Also, a limited edition print was created, incorporating the Inspired design, and there are still some available – further details on this page.
We recently learned that, not only is the Inspired Limited Edition print on display in the reception area at St Andrew's House, headquarters of the Scottish Government, it's also hanging on the wall in Colin and Justin's kitchen!
Inspired artists brochure (PDF)
Since the death of Robert Burns in 1796, there have been several musical and literary events, inspired by the works of Burns. Many great poets, including William Wordsworth and John Keats have found his words inspirational as have other men of great distinction such as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Carnegie. However, a truly international contemporary art exhibition, on the scale of 'Inspired', is unprecedented. There is on display, as an integral part of the exhibition, a selection of relics which have been unseen since 1896. These include an original letter from Burns, written in 1788 and the "Auld Alloway Clootie Horn", alleged to have been an inspiration for Burns' epic poem "Tam O'Shanter" which, in turn, has proved to be an inspiration for some of the 'Inspired' artists, including Vivienne Haig.
For 'Inspired', artists were invited to submit work inspired by the life, songs and poetry of Robert Burns. As can be seen, they clearly found much to inspire them and they have been remarkably successful in conveying the contemporary relevance of his work: Mikhail Magaril, the Russian artist, makes a strong and clear statement with his contemporary interpretation of one of Burns' epigrams; the current state of the economy has clearly not gone unnoticed by the Chapman Brothers: in their choice of medium, however, it was Burns who set a precedent in 1786 when he wrote a short tirade against Banks on a guinea note ("Lines Written on a Banknote").
There were many facets to Burns' character, reflected in the broad range of his poetry which extends from the philosophical to the hilarious. While being perhaps best known for 'Auld Lang Syne', an inspiration for Ed Wright, Australian artist, Burns equally made no secret of his interest in erotic verse and bawdy songs. Many of these are included in the "Merry Muses of Caledonia", containing poems with titles such as "Nine Inch Will Please a Lady", which is the work which inspired Tracey Emin.
He was also wonderfully irreverent with his assaults on intolerance and hypocrisy in both the social and religious spheres – as can be seen in works such as 'Holy Willie's Prayer', an inspiration for John Bellany.
As a democrat and an advocate of social and electoral reform, he was well ahead of his time politically, as evinced by 'The Twa Dugs' beautifully depicted by Whyn Lewis. The issues explored in these poems are as alive and relevant to us now as they were in the 18th Century.
Burns also gave the world some of the most beautiful love songs ever penned, one of which, "My love is like a Red, Red Rose', has been an inspiration for both Graham Fagen and Holly Johnson.
Others have taken a particular moment or period in his life as their reference point: David Ersser has looked at the latter period of Burns's life when he was an Exciseman. It is often forgotten that Burns never had the luxury of being a full time writer and always had to have a 'day job'. He had a hard life by contemporary Western standards, which makes it all the more impressive that he was able to produce such a vast body of work in his short life – 368 songs , 400 poems and over 600 letters.
Ed Ruscha's work echoes an incident in Burns's life when he left Ellisland Farm. Burns asked the new tenant to pay him for dung he had left in the farmyard and, when he refused, Burns arranged for his brother-in-law to go to the farm and break any window on which he had etched his poetry. Even in those days, Burns's work had some value and clearly (and quite rightly of course),he wasn't keen for the new tenant to benefit in any way.
Even the way Robert Burns actually looked is a source of inspiration and there are several personal interpretations of his physical appearance in 'Inspired'. As Murdo Macdonald, Professor of History of Scottish Art at Dundee University, says in his essay, "Envisioning Burns", "Robert Burns has had an enduring fascination for artists. Not just the detail of his face and the subjects of his poetry and songs, but anecdotes of his life, the extent of his friendships as revealed in his letters, the places he frequented, all come together in an extraordinary web of imagery."
Two of the works in 'Inspired' are film-based, one of which also incorporates wooden sculpture. The artist is Itamar Jobani, an Israeli artist, who first encountered Burns while studying philosophy in Tel Aviv. The Japanese artist, Masakatsu Kondo, explained that he has been aware of Burns from an early age, many children in Japan being taught "Auld Lang Syne" at school and the song is sung at every graduation ceremony in Japan.
When I began to speak to artists about the idea of a contemporary exhibition around the life and work of Robert Burns, I was overwhelmed by the response. Inspired includes over 50 works in the show from artists representing different cultures, working in different media and varying in age from 21 to 83. Clearly, their experience of life must vary enormously, as does the way in which they express Burns's influence., Giving the artists free rein to express their inspiration was quite deliberate. Perhaps inevitably, not all the images offer an immediate clue as to the source of their inspiration. However, on the other hand, it can be argued that the eclectic range of the exhibits in Inspired offers a sense of the remarkably broad range of his work. What has united the artists is that they have all, in some way, been touched by Burns. It is truly remarkable how the power of one man's thoughts and feelings, expressed in his poems and songs can be carried through two and a half centuries and still be so relevant today, not just in Scotland, but worldwide. Burns's poetry has been translated into over 35 languages including Punjabi, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Hebrew.

Intu warns on net rental income amid "transformational" strategy launch
Elias Jahshan
// Intu uses half year results to issue a warning over net rental income amid a wave of CVAs
// It said it expected like-for-like net rental income to be moderately down in 2020
// The shopping centre giant also launches a 5-year "transformational" strategy to arrest tumbling rental income & asset values
Intu has reported a drop in half-year net rental income due to a wave of CVAs, and warned that its like-for-like net rental income is expected to be moderately down in 2020.
The shopping centre giant said it experienced a "challenging" first half, thanks to weakening investor sentiment and a high number of retailer tenants entering administrations or launching CVAs.
Intu said it expects like-for-like net rental income, which fell 7.7 per cent to £205.2 million in the six month period ending June 30, to be at a similar level for the rest of the year.

Meanwhile, its property revaluation deficit widened to £872.1 million, compared to the £650.4 million deficit recorded in the same period last year.
In addition, the value of Intu's shopping centre portfolio fell 8.8 per cent year-on-year to £8.36 billion.
Footfall edged up a mere 0.4 per cent in its UK shopping centres – which includes Lakeside in Essex, Newcastle's Metrocentre, Nottingham's Victoria Centre and Manchester's Trafford Centre – but its centres in Spain enjoyed 3.5 per cent growth
The half-year results prompted shares in Intu to fall by 21 per cent to 55p this morning.
The firm also used its trading update to launch a five-year "transformational" strategy with the aim of improving rental income and asset values.
The strategy features plans to drive efficiencies, improve customer service and experience, shore up balance sheets, refurbish its shopping centres, and place a focus on residential, hotel and flexible working spaces instead of just retail.
Intu said it would also look at "modernising the lease structure", which could soon feature "store generated online sales" in rental agreements.
Intu has already been working on preserving cash and reducing its debt by selling assets.
It said it removed around 10 per cent of its management roles since the end of June, allowing it to save £5 million in cash annually.
Intu also scrapped its dividend earlier this year, with the money saved directed to investment in its shopping centres instead.
It added that it would not pay a dividend for the foreseeable future in order to continue retaining cash.
"The first half of 2019 has been challenging for Intu," chief executive officer Matthew Roberts said.
"We have experienced further downward pressure on like-for-like net rental income and property values resulting from a higher level of administrations and CVAs as some retailers struggle to remain relevant in a multichannel world.
"These challenges, facing Intu and the whole sector, have been well-documented and, while there are no quick fixes, I am confident that we can address them head on."
He added: "We know radical transformation is required and have developed a new, ambitious five year strategy to reshape our business and address the challenges we face, with a priority to fix our balance sheet.
"With the people changes we have made, we now have the right leadership team in place with the appropriate skill sets to deliver this plan and drive the business forward.
"Regardless of current sentiment, one thing is clear: the physical store is not dying, it is evolving.
"The right store in the right location still plays a vital role in retailers' multichannel strategies and we are starting to work with them as partners sharing the risks and rewards.
"Our centres will also transform as we turn them into thriving communities – places where people want to live, work and have fun, as well as shop.
"Change will not happen overnight, but I am confident we have the right plan in place and an energised, dynamic team to deliver it."

A considered strategic response to changing times from Intu. But I wonder whether centres can be transformed into 'thriving communities' where "people want to live, work and have fun, as well as shop'.
Such admirable aims are about changing behaviour. A more radical approach might be to consider the analysis and solutions presented by the 'Jobs to be Done' methodology which reflect the actual needs of people.

Boris Johnson claims London, not Liverpool, helped launch The Beatles to stardom

Mayor of London made claims during speech at the London School of Economics
Boris Johnson has claimed that it was London, not Liverpool, that propelled The Beatles to international fame and success.
The Mayor of London, who was forced to apologise to the people of Liverpool in 2004 after he wrote a controversial article for The Spectator about Liverpool FC and the Hillsborough disaster, made his claims about The Fab Four in a speech he gave at the London School of Economics.
The Mirror reports that the Tory Mayor gave a speech entitled 'London, the gateway to Britain' in which he said: "The greatest band in the world came from Liverpool, but in the end they recorded their stuff in London and it was London that helped propel them around the world."
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson responded to Johnson's claims in the same paper, saying: "This is becoming a bore now from Boris. It's yet another gaffe from him about Liverpool. He's been forced to apologise before over Hillsborough and Ken Bigley, and he's got this very wrong too.
Anderson continues: "George Martin produced the albums, Lennon and McCartney wrote the songs and Hamburg played the next biggest role, after Liverpool, in the Beatles development. This is typical Tory posturing. They'll probably claim next they were backing Nelson Mandela all the way."
Johnson has yet to respond to the criticism of his comments.

Citation: Hernandez, J.E., Gowda, P., Howell, T.A., Marek, T.H., Ha, W., Almas, L.K. 2010. Evaluation of Four Water Management Policies for Ogallala Aquifer Sustainbility in the Texas High Plains [abstract]. American Geophysical Union Meeting, December 13-17, 2010, San Francisco, California. Paper No. H11L-0931.
Technical Abstract: Diminishing groundwater supply in the Ogallala Aquifer will severely reduce regional crop and animal production in the absence of a sustainable water management policy. It is essential to mitigate adverse impacts on the regional economy due to future withdrawals of the limited groundwater resource. Currently, approximately ten alternative water management policies are being debated by policy makers in the Central and Southern High Plains of the Ogallala Aquifer region. Before implementing any new policy or modifying current policies, newer alternative policies should be evaluated for their impact on groundwater levels with eventual extension to regional economic impacts. The main objective of this study was to evaluate four water management policies, from the debated ones, on future groundwater levels in the Ogallala Aquifer beneath four heavily irrigated counties (Dallam, Sherman, Hartley, and Moore) located in the northwest corner of the Texas High Plains using a calibrated ModFlow model. The four water management policies were (1) voluntary permanent conversion to dry land production up to 10% of the total irrigated area, (2) adoption of advances in biotechnology that allow water use reductions at a rate of 1% per year up to 10% of current use, (3) mandatory water use reduction to decrease the total water pumped by 10% (volume per unit land area per year), and (4) voluntary temporary conversion to dry land production during 15 years for a maximum area of 10% of the total irrigated area. The water management policies were converted into water demand rates for ModFlow model inputs. Simulations were conducted for a 50-year (2010-2060) period. Preliminary results indicate that a combination of more than one policy will be required to produce a significant reduction in the current groundwater depletion rates.

When I talk zombies online, I inevitably talk zombies with my Twitter pal Nyssa Harkness, who is writing (and apparently finishing it before she dies) a Masters thesis on zombies in literature and film.
Oh hey! Today Nyssa joins me to talk about zombies in film and literature! I've marked my text in black and hers in indented, bloody red. I hope it's enough!
Also I'd like to thank Gary Kemble for the banner picture – that's from Brisbane Zombiewalk 2011, with me and my son there on the right! I think I zombie-kidnapped him.
I'm not really a zombie expert in terms of having watched every classic zombie movie, but it seems from our discussions that I have at least some contribution to make in this area, specifically by throwing a sabot into the finely tuned semantic engines used to frame a discussion on zombies.

Q: Python String Accessing I am helping a friend with Python and I might be getting confused with C++. So I am curious as to why this would not work. The expected function of this is a Pig Latin translator so if there is a vowel as the first letter 'ay' is added to the end but if the first letter is a consonant, that letter is added to the end and then the 'ay' is added.
Example:
apple --> appleay
watch --> atchway
Sorry I completely forgot to post the code (edit)
vowel = ['a','e','i','o','u']
counter = -1
while True:
    text = input("Write a word to translate. If you do not want to play anymore,
write exit: ")
if text == "exit":
    break

elif text[0].lower() in vowel:
    text = text + 'ay'
    print(text)

elif text[0].lower() not in vowel:
    letter = text[0]
    length = len(text) - 1
    for i in range(1, length):
        text[i-1] = text[i]
    text[length + 1] = letter
    print(text)

A: Strings are immutable, so you can't assign to a string at specific index like text[i-1] = text[i].
Instead, use text = text[1:] + text[0] + 'ay' to do what you want:
vowel = ['a','e','i','o','u']
counter = -1
while True:
    text = input("Write a word to translate. If you do not want to play anymore, write exit: ")
    if text == "exit":
        break

    elif text[0].lower() in vowel:
        text = text + 'ay'
        print(text)

    elif text[0].lower() not in vowel:
        text = text[1:] + text[0] + 'ay'
        print(text)

Money and Elections in the Maldives
IFES conducted the first systematic nationwide survey of its kind in the Maldives. The survey was conducted to measure the prevalence of vote buying in the Maldives during the March 2014 parliamentary elections. The final report, Money and Election in Maldives: Perceptions and Reality, will be shared with the Government, the Parliament, the Election Commission, civil society, political parties and others.
Women's Empowerment in the Political Process in the Maldives
In the Maldives, as in all countries around the world, women's interest and ability to participate in the political process is impacted by a combination of legal, political, social, economic and cultural factors. An understanding of how each of these factors independently affects participation, as well as the aggregate effect of these combined factors, is critical to developing targeted strategies to increase women's engagement in the political process.
Qualitative Assessment: Perceptions about Women's Participation in Public Life in the Maldives
Gender equality and women's empowerment remain a significant challenge in the Maldives. A new report from International Foundation for Electoral Systems' (IFES), titled "Qualitative Assessment: Perceptions about Women's Participation in Public Life in the Maldives," examines the root causes of negative perceptions toward women in decision-making roles in the Maldives, including broader societal attitudes toward gender equality and women's empowerment.
Parliamentary Oversight of Constitutional Bodies
Parliamentary Oversight of Constitutional Bodies in the Maldives explores how parliamentary tools and mechanisms can be effectively tailored to provide the appropriate level of oversight. The paper has recommendations and lessons that are broadly applicable outside the Maldivian context.

Middle Eastern students host Arabian Nights event
NINA WILLIS | Evergreen reporter
{{tncms-asset app="editorial" id="d84b7bb4-1828-11e7-931b-df88d519f2cd"}}
Arabian Nights, previously known as "Middle Eastern Night," brings a range of Arabic and Middle Eastern cultures to WSU.
The Middle Eastern Student Association (MESA) teamed up with other Middle Eastern groups around campus this year in celebration of their culture. This includes the Saudi Student Club, the Muslim Student Association, the Arabic Language & Cultural Organization, the Omani Student Association, and the Libyan Student Association, said MESA president Jihad Al Ojaili.
Named after the English translation of One Thousand and One Arabian Nights, MESA wanted to display aspects of cultures from all around the Middle Eastern region, he said.
{{tncms-asset app="editorial" id="1db92b6c-1831-11e7-9583-674d13ceb5ab"}}
Guests participated in a questionnaire game regarding Middle Eastern culture. Each table had a question sheet, which they turned in during dinner. Questions ranged from Greek colonies in Libya to the number of Provinces in Saudi Arabia.
The evening started with a speech thanking the participating clubs and organizations and a brief explanation of the mission of the event. Middle Eastern and North African cultures make up 20 percent of the world population, the speaker said.
There was an award ceremony, starting with Palouse ProActive organization. Reverend Steve Van Kuiken and Charles Weller, who teaches about Muslim culture at WSU, each received a golden award for their fight against injustice and discrimination, called "Cougars against hate, extremism and terrorism awards."
Fadumo Ali, recognized as Undergraduate Student Woman of Distinction of WSU, received the silver award for her article addressing current anti-Muslim sentiments in the U.S.
The second speaker informed attendees about the $1,500 already raised for displaced Syrian Refugees and covered the importance of practicing love instead of hate.
This was followed by a skit showcasing the tragedy and hardship of coming from a war-torn country. The skit featured two little girls and their mother, who just came home from school, where they hid from bombings and attacks, as heard on the soundtrack. From there, the scene switched from dialogue to music and movement, and the mother was separated from one of her children as she sought help.
A video on history of whirling dervishes by the Mevlevi Order of America came next, featuring 13th century poet Rumi and dervish Shams-e Tabrizi, credited as Rumi's spiritual instructor. A live whirling dervish dance followed, as three performers made their way on stage and demonstrated the traditional dance.
A music performance occurred after, during which audience members occasionally clapped along to the rhythm of the music. The first song was a completely instrumental piece, while the following song had a singing component.
The Baharat! Dance Company performed a variety of dances from Egypt and the Arabian Gulf. The music they performed to, called Muwashshat, encompasses a form of classical Arabic poetry as well as a music genre.
The Mevlevi Sema ceremony in the tradition of the Mevlevi Order came after, followed by more live Arabic music and then dinner.
The Arabian Nights dinner menu featured tabouleh, a Levantine salad; shish tawook, a traditional marinated chicken shish kebab; and baklava, a Middle Eastern sweet pastry.
Al Ojaili said they expect to have another Arabian Nights next year. If he had to change anything, there would be no admission because previous Middle Eastern Nights did not have one. Arabian Night's admission was $5 for students and $10 general.
Editor's note: This article has been revised to reflect the correct spelling of a Middle Eastern student group. It is the Omani Student Organization, not the Omari Student Organization. The article has also been revised to reflect the correct spelling of the MESA president's name. It is Jihad Al Ojaili, not Jihad Al Ojaiji.

Independent filmmakers are enjoined to make their films viewable across the globe. Based in Berlin, Germany, Cinovu is a new online arthouse cinema that has a vision to revolutionize film distribution in a wider scale. How cool it would be to have an online access to films made by different countries in the world. Film enthusiasts are also encouraged to check out the site: http://cinovu.com.
Note: Cinovu actually sounds like "sinubo." Sinubo comes from the rootword "subo" which means in Tagalog, "to put something into the mouth." Sinubo is the past tense of "subo." To speak about films figuratively, let me say: Isubo ang kariktan ng pelikula sa isip at diwa (To feed our mind with the beauty of films).
