Writer: Joe Brusha	Artist: Rolando Neto Publisher: Zenescope Entertainment Release Date: July 3, 2013 Cover Price: $2.99 Critic Reviews: 5
AT LONG LAST, THE FINAL REALM OF POWER IN THE GRIMM FAIRY TALES UNIVERSE IS R EVEALED... AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN AN OZ QUITE LIKE THIS! This modern take on the story re-imagines the classic tale in the signature Zenescope style. The Witches of OZ are searching for a lost weapon of power known as the Veridian Scepter. Their quest leads them to the most unlikely of places...the farmlands of Kansas and the home of the unlikeliest of heroes... Dorothy Gale. Incredible cover art by superstars J. Scott Campbell, Artgerm, Eric Basaldua, and Ale Garza! The epic Oz adventure starts here!
Front Towards Gamer - PNeafsey Jul 12, 2013
In true Zenescope fashion the art is beautiful, Dorothy is beautiful yet strong and there is big trouble brewing. The pacing is fantastic for a first issue setting crumbs of a larger mystery, introducing characters and establishing it's own presence. There's a promise that the events in Oz will spill over into the rest of the Grimm Fairy Tale Universe with Dorothy standing at the center of things. As a standalone title or accompanying the Grimm titles, OZ #1is a fine addition to Zenescope's lineup, one that I can't wait to see where this yellow brick road takes us. Read Full Review
Unleash The Fanboy - Daniel Alvarez Jul 5, 2013
Overall, OZ is off to a solid start, The story is done in a whole new way while paying respect to the original. With a fantastic antagonist, I'm looking forward to seeing Dorothy's adventure once again. Read Full Review
One Quest - Chris Cobb Jul 5, 2013
Like they did with Jungle Book, Zenescope is taking a classic story and really making it something unique without losing those elements that make the story so endearing. Just updating them to a more 21st century feel. Read Full Review
Following The Nerd - Foxy Foxxy Aug 22, 2013
*Since the time of writing this review, Oz #1 has been Zenescope's best-selling comic to date, selling out of it's 30,000 first print run and beating out Marvel's Emerald City of Oz which was also released in July. Read Full Review
Comic Spectrum - Bob Bretall Aug 1, 2013
The art by Rolando di Sessa and Glauber Matos is good, but it's not good enough to get me past a story that seems long on random story beats and setup and short on characterization and explanation of what is actually going on. There were far too many pages in this issue that I didn't think really advanced the story or conveyed any essential information. They were just "there". The pacing in this issue was off, there were 24 pages of story that felt like 16 or less. We could have gotten well into Oz and introducing some of the other main characters & points of conflict all within this #1 issue. As it stands, I was not left with a compelling desire to read #2.

Home > About Galapagos > History > Human Discovery > Commercial Fisheries
From the late 1920s, tuna fishing became a feature in the waters surrounding the Galapagos Islands, as San Diego-based fishermen shifted their attention to Galapagos, 3,100 miles away, because of restrictions on fishing in Mexican waters and declines in the abundance of Albacore in California waters. Until 1937, as much as 70% of the tuna arriving in California may have come from waters near the Galapagos Islands, with the main species being Yellow-fin, Big Eye, and Skipjack. The Second World War intervened to reduce fishing, but the boats returned after the war and took an estimated 100,000 tons of tuna in 1947 and 1948, including fish from the Galapagos waters. In the 1950s, Galapagos researchers remarked on the effects of tuna fishing, reporting that tuna fishermen used to shoot sea lions because of their negative effect on live bait fishing.
More efficient purse seine ships, linked to corporate canneries in California, began to take over fishing in the 1950s. Also, in 1950 Ecuador pressed a claim for 200-miles of territorial waters. Ecuador began to restrict tuna fishing in its waters, including waters around Galapagos. Nevertheless, Californian and Japanese vessels continued to fish: up to 220 boats fished around the Cocos and Galapagos Islands during the 1960s. In 1963, Ecuador began seizing US fishing vessels within the 200 mile limit and levying fines on the vessels. This conflict continued for more than a decade, during which time the US government reimbursed boat owners for fines and lost revenues in order to avoid recognizing the 200 mile-limit. In the early 1970s, US tuna fishermen began buying Ecuadorian licenses.
Long liners arrived in Galapagos waters in 1961. By 1995, 25 Japanese-registered long liners with association agreements worked in Ecuadorian waters. These ships lay out 30 miles of line with thousands of baited hooks to catch Big Eye, Yellow-fin Tuna, and sharks, along with billfish such as Swordfish, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, and Sailfish. Until 1996, over 30% of the Japanese catch came from Galapagos and about 30% of this, by weight, was Blue and Thresher Sharks. By 2002, the tuna fleets in the eastern Pacific were dominated by Mexican and Ecuadorian flag vessels, followed by those flying Venezuelan, US, Spanish, and Panamanian flags. Major tuna fishing continued until the passage of the Special Law in 1998, which banned commercial fishing from the Galapagos Marine Reserve around the islands.

Drowned in Sheffield #2
by Rob Webb March 10th, 2011
Although it's probably (read: definitely) not the most reliable barometer as to the health of a city's music scene, it's worth stating nonetheless that not a single Sheffield act is playing this year's industry hypefest SXSW. Zero. Leeds has bands in attendance, Manchester has bands in attendance. Sheffield has none. No hype. Or maybe just no money?
The Crookes, who release their debut soon, went last year and are perhaps the closest thing we've got to a recent success story; Standard Fare have been doing some ok things too, without ever setting the world alight, and Hey Sholay are hinting at trying to do things with a bit of colour and interest, but at the moment Sheffield is crying out for an instant hit of something truly new and fantastic – if only to inject a little bit of urgency into the rest of the city's music makers.
When Arctic Monkeys came through, for instance, there may have been a slew of crappy copycat bands but around the same time we got The Long Blondes, who offered a thrillingly arty counterpoint to the Monkeys' gritty realism... these things seem to be cyclical, is the point, and it might just take one band to break through the malaise to give the others a much needed kick up the jacksie.
Something's got to change soon, surely, because since the last time we ran this column there hasn't been an awful lot, locally speaking, for alternative music fans to get excited about.

The Caribbean State of Antigua and Barbuda
Travel August 15, 2019 August 15, 2019
The democratic state of Antigua and Barbuda is a constitutional monarchy that is part of the Commonwealth: it has a bicameral parliament and a sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II.
Antigua and Barbuda is an archipelago of the downwind islands of the Antilles, Central America. It's located between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
The archipelago is composed of two major islands (Antigua and Barbuda) a small uninhabited island called Redonda and a number of smaller islands. As a whole, Antigua and Barbuda population counts about 91.000 inhabitants, distributed over an area of just under 444 km2.
The Antigua and Barbuda's history is related to Christopher Columbus. He discovered the islands in 1493, during his second trip to the Americas. He renamed one of them tributing a church in Seville: the church of "Santa Maria de la Antigua".
Later on, in the first half of the 16th century, the territory was colonized by the english. It was part of the British West Indies, also known as the "English-speaking Caribbean", until independence from the United Kingdom on November 1, 1981.
Currently, the State is in diplomatic and commercial relations with the United States, Canada and China. It also cooperates with Cuba, especially on education and health.
Despite having had diplomatic relations with Spain for more than 30 years, Antigua and Barbuda opened its embassy in Spain only recently.
Dario Item has been entrusted with the task of guiding them.
Dario Item, ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda
Dario Item is the ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda in Spain, the Principality of Monaco and the Principality of Liechtenstein.
He's a degree in law and political science, specialising in criminal law, banking law, financial markets law and consular diplomatic law.
He is fluent in five languages: Italian, German, French, English and Spanish.
Dario Item has been a member of the diplomatic corps of Antigua and Barbuda since 2016. He is appointed ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda in Madrid: on 21 June 2018 he is accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On 16 January 2019 he officially presented his credentials to the King of Spain, Felipe VI.
Diplomatic activity of Dario Item
Cooperation between countries, resolution of problems and crisis situations, good relations with Spanish politics, protection of citizens' rights, promotion of economic and cultural relations with the Kingdom of Spain: these are the main functions that Dario Item assumes as ambassador of Antigua and Barbuda in Madrid.
The priorities are to protect the interests of the state he represents and to support international and regional organisations such as the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
Drug trafficking and money laundering are still problems that needs to be solved along with the United States. Antigua and Barbuda have signed an agreement with the Washington administration: it allows the US Coast Guard to prosecute drug traffickers caught in national waters.
Dario Item has the diplomatic skills to manage his political and diplomatic duties with competence and passion, thanks to his multiform personality, his communication and mediation skills, which are crucial in order to solve problems and manage international everyday politics.

An Art History Lecture
On Saturday, August 11, 2018, the Eric W. Gritsch Memorial Fund hosted an informative talk by Yu Na Han, Johns Hopkins PhD Candidate, at the George Peabody Library on Reformation art in 16th-century Germany. The talk was extracted from her developing dissertation centered on the theme of the consolation to be found in pictorial representations. Yu Na discussed how the faithful would have taken comfort in the works of Lucas Cranach and his fellow artists just as they would have in the words of Luther and pastoral care.
Lucas Cranach, Christ and the Adulteress (detail), ca. 1538, Weimar, Germany
SACRED SPRING, Vienna Secession Posters
On Saturday April 21st, 2018 the Eric W. Gritsch Fund hosted a curator
led tour of the exhibit, Sacred Spring: Vienna Secession Posters from the Collection of LeRoy E. Hoffberger and Paula Gately Tillman Hoffberger at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which highlighted the Vienna Secession, an influential group of artists who sought to break free from academic art of the past. Deatils about the work of Gustav Klimt, Kolman Moser, Egon Schiele, and Peter Behren's influential 1898 color woodcut The Kiss from Senior Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Rena Hoisington.
On November 5th, 2017 during Lutherfest, the Eric W. Gritsch Memorial Fund announed the winner of the Gritsch Fellowship in Reformation Studies: Thomas Santa Maria, Yale PhD Candidate.
His project is the 'custodianship and proper application of the senses' in Reformation era art, sermons, and devotional texts.
The fund awards him $7,500 for travel, research and report. We look forward to learning from his travels and research. Details
The Memorial Fund made a donation of $300.00 to the Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology in memory of the Rev. Dr. Robert Jenson. He and Eric Gritsch served on the faculty of the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg for many years, often team teaching. Together they co-authored a book entitled LUTHERANISM: THE THEOLOGICAL MOVEMENT AND ITS CONFESSIONAL WRITINGS.
This book was published by Fortress Press in 1976 and is still being read and studied by those preparing for the Lutheran ministry. This well-known theologian recently passed away.
The words of both Gritsch and Jenson continue to live on!
The Rev. Dr. Eric W.Gritsch was a member of Zion Church of the City of Baltimore for seventeen years. He conducted worship services and preached in both German and English for one year while the congregation was in the process of calling a pastor. For many years that historic church was the site of numerous events in which Dr. Gritsch played an important role. The Adlersaal was the location of various celebrations honoring Dr. Gritsch.
With that in mind, the Board of the Eric W. Gritsch Memorial Fund deemed it appropriate to make a donation of $1,000 for the restoration of an outdoor sculpture known as the Hans Schuler Eagle and the surrounding balcony area of the Parish House which is outside the Adlersaal overlooking Baltimore's beautiful City Hall.
The Parish House was built in 1912 and Hans Schuler (1874-1951) one of Maryland's most prominent sculptors was commissioned to design and sculpt the eagle for the Parish Hall entrance. This impressive piece of art depicts the American eagle with a shield depicting on its heart with the German eagle. Zion was the home congregation of many German immigrants who loving remembered their homeland while embracing their new life in America.

Gettysburg Seminary Honors Memory of Dr. Gritsch
On October 26, 2016 Bonnie Brobst, the widow of The Rev. Dr. Eric W. Gritsch, attended The Luther Colloquy—an event of the Fall Academy at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg, Penna.
Eric W. Gritsch served on the faculty at that institution for more than 30 years and, along with The Rev. Dr. Gerald Christianson, a fellow faculty member, established this Colloquy in 1970.
Gritsch served as the Director of the Institute for Luther Studies at the Seminary until his retirement in 1994.
The two professors were honored for their contributions to Gettysburg Seminary.
Bonnie Brobst, as the widow of Gritsch, was also honored for her efforts to keep the legacy and words of her late husband alive for future generations of both clergy and laity through her work with the Eric W. Gritsch Memorial Fund.
She was presented with a new book edited by Kirsi I. Stjerna and Brooks Schramm entitled ENCOUNTERS WITH LUTHER: NEW DIRECTIONS FOR CRITICAL STUDIES which contains the thoughts of former presenters at various Colloquy events.
2016 Austrian Presentations About Eric W. Gritsch
The Eric W.Gritsch Memorial Fund was thrilled to learn that there were to be presentations in Neuhaus, Austria to commemorate the 85th birthday and baptism of Eric. The brother of Eric and his wife, Mr. & Mrs.Gunther Gritsch, will be in attendance. Eric was born in Neuhaus, a town near the Hungarian border where his father, The Rev. Matthias Gritsch, was serving the Lutheran congregation in 1930. Eric and Bonnie visited the parsonage where Eric was born and toured the church while they were visiting in the area several years prior Eric's death.

2015: A Book by Dr. Eric Gritsch is Released (Posthumously):
ALPB Books (2015)
In 1978 the American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church in America adopted a Joint Statement on Communion Practices that "precluded" the communion of baptized infants. This statement shut the door on a practice that the Western Church had observed for a thousand years and had not previously categorically precluded, that the Episcopal Church was reconsidering, and that the Eastern Churches still practiced. Eric Gritsch saw the ecumenical, biblical, and theological inappropriateness of this statement and was one of a handful of Lutheran theologians who spoke up for a reconsideration of the practice. Pastor Larry Recla has gathered papers of Dr. Gritsch that were disseminated for discussion purposes at the time of the debate, but have not previously been published. Their publication now is timely when churches are considering the inclusion even of the unbaptized in Holy Communion — a line Dr. Gritsch would not have crossed in his thesis that the Lord's Supper is the meal of the baptized, but all the baptized.

Exclusive Interview With The French Navy On The Barracuda SSN Program
Posted On Sunday, 08 February 2015 21:07
Naval Technology - Barracuda next generation SSN
By Xavier Vavasseur
Between 2017 and 2027, Barracuda-type nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSN) will replace the Marine Nationale (French Navy's) current-generation Rubis/Améthyste-class SSNs. Navy Recognition recently had the unique opportunity to ask the French Navy's Barracuda program manager & officer a few questions on the next generation submarine of the French Navy.
Artist impression: A Barracuda type (Suffren class) SSN sailing out for a patrol alongside an Horizon type air defense destroyer. Picture: French Navy
Navy Recognition: When did the program started?
Barracuda Programme Manager (who wished to remain unnamed for security & confidentiality reasons):
Preliminary studies started during the late 1990s, but the defining phase only started in 2001. The program was awarded in December 2006 to DCNS and its partner AREVA TA. It provides for the construction and acquisition of 6 Suffren class SSNs, as well as several simulators (for diving safety, cruising safety and tactical training) operation of the nuclear reactor and the boiler room, the initial logistics of these means, and the overhaul of the entire port infrastructure associated with these resources to sustain them. The acquisition of two DDS (Dry Deck Shelters [ed. note: for special forces), the MDCN program [ed. note: MBDA's Naval Cruise Missile] and the development of the F21 heavyweight torpedo are important programs linked to Barracuda but are not part of the scope of the Barracuda program. For this project DCNS acts as the prime contractor for the submarine. In that role DCNS directed the overall architecture, the propelled platform, the integration of all systems but also coordinated the nuclear safety studies and operational maintenance. AREVA TA assumes the role of prime contractor for the onboard nuclear steamer.
NR: How many French Navy personnel work on the program (and how many DCNS personnel):
BPM: For the French Navy it is difficult to estimate the volume of staff actually impacted by this program. Its organization is indeed based on a reduced fixed level (the program team), but relies on many other navy organizations or capabilities that are not dedicated to the Barracuda. The program team is regularly supported by the CEPN (Naval Programs Centre of Expertise), by ALFOST (submarine and strategic oceanic forces command), by the ENSM (underwater navigation schools) and by the various naval bases. The Barracuda program team delegates or assigns specific tasks to all these entities and maintain close links with them
The program team consists of 5 people within the central level of the EMM (French Navy Command) and 5 people in Cherbourg (where the submarines are assembled). In addition, 23 sailors are inserted in the DCNS teams as part of a special agreement.
With the creation in September 2015 of the first crew (whose size was increased to 1.3 times the normal crew size) the program team will receive substantial support in the late implementation phase and in the preparation of trials.
By adding the DCNS staff and those of the Navy, around 2000 people are working on the Barracuda program which is still in the process of industrialization (the vast majority of the staff coming from prime contractor DCNS).
NR: Which new capabilities are expected from the Barracuda type SSN ?
BPM: The Barracuda is a major capability investment for the Defense reflecting France's will to maintain its naval power status for the next fifty years. This new submarine will contribute to the deterrence strategy and to the use of conventional means in power projection or intelligence-gathering contexts. Therefore, it will act both as a power projection tool and as a warship.
The Barracuda program is based on the technical and operational experience gained over the last few years. It also incorporates threat evolutions and will be able to fulfill all its missions thanks to its exceptional stealth, mobility, endurance and firepower qualities.
Barracuda submarines will be fitted with the future naval cruise missile (MBDA's MdCN) and their ability to accommodate and deploy special forces will be improved compared to the submarines currently in service. The strike capability against land-based targets is a new capability for the French submarine forces. The deployment, on a large scale and while submerged, of special forces is an important capability increase. The increased autonomy and minimized scheduled maintenance constraints will also translate into substantial capability gains. Their improved maneuverability and sea capabilities (compared to the Rubis class) make the Barracuda particularly suitable for missions in coastal waters.
Finally, significant improvements are expected in the areas of discretion as well as acoustic electromagnetic and optical detection and data transmissions (increased information processing capacity, easier integration into a naval force...).

NR: The Rubis-class usual patrol areas are reported to be the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Will the Suffren class have the ability to patrol all the way to the Pacific Ocean?
BPM: It is the operational needs that dictate the deployment on theater of French SSNs and not their capacities. In this context, the improved capacities of the Suffren class SSNs make their operational use more efficient, more flexible and more cost effective than the Rubis class.
NR: According to some observers or experts, the compact size of the Rubis class has a negative impact on their acoustic discretion. Conversely, Le Triomphant class SSBNs are known for their extreme discretion. The Barracuda SSN will be larger than the Rubis class but will remain more compact than the British Astute class or the American Virginia class. What can you tell us about the Barracuda discretion and what factors have driven the final size of the Barracuda ?
BPM: The Barracuda received many technology transfers from the SSBN and some further developments that should give it a very high discretion, no comparison to the Rubis class. The stealth objectives of the new SSN are very close to those of the current SSBNs [ed. note: Le Triomphant class]. Their compactness is mainly linked to cost control wishes induced by the port infrastructure renovation [ed. note: necessary to accommodate the new class of SSN at the naval base(s)].This compactness should not be a problem in regards to the submarine discretion however.

NR: How many weapons and which types will be fitted on the Suffren class ?
BPM: The Suffren class is fitted with four torpedo tubes and twenty weapons storage positions . The SSN will be able to deploy the following weapons: F21 Torpedo, Exocet SM39 Block 2 Mod 2 Anti-ship missile, MdCN (naval cruise missile), FG29 mines. Their weapons fit will depend on their missions.
NR: What will be the main strength of Barracuda SSNs?
BPM: More than an evolution the Suffren class will constitute a revolution or several revolutions in the submarine forces:
- Its increasing capacities which will constitute their main strength.
- The size of their crew (around sixty sailors, almost 10 fewer than on board the Rubis class, for almost twice as big a submarine).
- The progress made in areas such as the handling of the platform and the diving safety to achieve a high level of automation are very significant.
NR: DCNS is working on a conventional version: the SMX OCEAN. Is it possible that some R&D elements from this new program are applied to the Barracuda program?
BPM: First of all, SMX Ocean is a "conceptship" by DCNS gathering all their new technologies. Presented during the last edition of Euronaval by the manufacturer, some of these innovations are intended to be proposed by DCNS on their submarines in the coming years.
Barracuda type SSNs will be fitted with an optional dry dock shelter for special forces support, non penetrating optronic masts by Sagem and a pump jet propulsion system. Image: French Navy
NR: What are the main challenges of the program so far ?
BPM: To keep the required size and capabilities in a constrained budgetary environment. To maintain the overall consistency between the submarine, the other related programs [ed. note: F21 torpedo, DDS etc.], the infrastructures, the training facilities both physically and from a calendar point of view: ensuring the functioning of start to finish of the desired capabilities.
NR: What are the key dates and current status of the program ?
BPM: Construction of the Suffren continues nominally in accordance with the planned schedule. The hull should be closed off at the end of the year. The first trial at sea is currently scheduled for 2017. The tests of the propulsion module are currently underway. They are progressing very well. The combat system is at integration phase without any significant difficulty. Masts and weapons handling system have already been tested. The boiler module is on board.
The arrivals of the next SSNs are scheduled every 2 years from 2020. Thus, assembly of the hull sections of Duguay Trouin [ed. note: second SSN in the series] is over and construction of Tourville [ed. note: third SSN in the series] is more than 50% complete.
Other questions included technical details such as the presence (or not) of a special coating on the hull of the Barracuda SSNs to reduce noise generated by water flow at high speed (hence improving passive detection capacities at speed) or the presence (or not) of a system enabling the Barracuda to maintain a stationary position despite currents and tidal effects (two features present on the U.S. Navy's Virginia class SSNs). The Barracuda program manager didn't wish to answer these questions however because of their confidential nature.

Aggie and the Double Murder
On May 20, 1931 Los Angeles' citizens were shaken by the murders of Charles H. Crawford and Herbert F. Spencer.
Crawford was a former saloonkeeper and a powerful player in the city's shadow government, the sinister "Combination" which was made up of members of the underworld and members of Los Angeles' political elite. Nicknamed "The Gray Wolf" and "Good Time Charlie", Crawford was ostensibly an insurance man, but actually made his money in gambling, prostitution, and bootlegging. To further his image as a legitimate businessman he had even bankrolled the CRITIC OF CRITICS, the political crusading weekly operated by the other victim in the case, Herbert Spencer.
Spencer had taken a bullet to the heart and was stone dead when cops rolled to the scene, but Crawford was still alive with a bullet in his abdomen that had ruptured his liver and one of his kidneys. An ambulance rushed him to the hospital where he received blood transfusions. He regained consciousness for a few moments and the law asked him for the name of his assassin(s). In true underworld style, Crawford said his secret would accompany him to his grave. And it did.
Herbert Spencer was a former police reporter who had become associated with a political crusading weekly, the CRITIC OF CRITICS. Before he was gunned down Spencer and his wife, nicknamed Frankie, had left their home at 2446 Kenilworth Avenue in the Los Feliz hills early enough so that Herb could drop Frankie off at a Hollywood hairdresser, and still have enough time to make it to a meeting with Crawford on Sunset Boulevard.
A home in the hills? A Hollywood hairdresser? How could a journalist make enough in 1931 to afford such a lifestyle? Simple, he milked the rackets for what he could get. He probably never expected to meet an end similar to that of Chicago Tribune newsman, turned crook, Jake Lingle. Lingle had been murdered gangland style on June 9, 1930, shot down in the streets of Chicago. Apparently Spencer believed that mob style hits only happened in Chicago and New York.

Whispers in the corridors of City Hall pegged Crawford as the target of a hit ordered by his former employee Guy McAfee. McAfee and Crawford had been feuding for months before the slayings. McAfee appeared to be winning a power struggled for vice in the city and had been referred to in one newspaper as the Capone of L.A. People assumed that Crawford was the target, and Spencer was collateral damage – too bad for everyone that McAfee had an iron-clad alibi.
McAfee was a former police captain who had been in charge of LAPD's vice squad – which was undoubtedly how he met his wife, a former madam in one of the local brothels. (McAfee is thought to have been the model for Raymond Chandler's suave mobster Eddie Mars in THE BIG SLEEP).
Following the murders there was panic among members of the Combination; one man even turned up at the city jail and, fearing for his life, asked to be locked up for his own safety. Other Combination members fled the city in terror, some of them stayed away for years.
When the perpetrator surrendered one day after the slayings, the city was stunned to discover that the shooter was David H. Clark a former deputy district attorney who was then running for a municipal judgeship! Clark, known around town as "Debonair Dave", had been a star in the D.A.'s office and he seemed likely to achieve even more as a judge.

Aggie read all of the stories about Clark and noticed a significant gap in the coverage; no one had interviewed Clark's parents! Aggie received permission from the city desk to pursue her angle on the story. After calling every Clark in the Los Angeles phone book Aggie finally located the parents in Highland Park. For her efforts she was rewarded with an exclusive interview and photographs. The interview earned Aggie an important by-line and ran under the headline, "Mrs. Clark Says Son is Innocent".
Aggie's crime reporting career had begun with one of the most important stories of the day.

May Maya Millete
Judge Orders Larry Millete to Stand Trial for Murder of Wife, May 'Maya' Millete
Larry Millete is accused of the murder of missing Chula Vista mother of three May "Maya" Millete, who was last seen on Jan. 7, 2021; no body has ever been found
By Christina Bravo and Eric S. Page • Published January 25, 2023 • Updated on January 25, 2023 at 1:44 pm
May "Maya" Millete, a Chula Vista mother of three, was last seen alive on Jan. 7, 2021
In October 2021, police arrested her husband, Larry Millete on a first-degree murder charge
No body has ever been recovered
After an unusually long preliminary hearing for a man accused of killing his wife, May "Maya" Millete, in 2021, a judge ruled Wednesday that there is enough evidence for Larry Millete to be tried on one count of murder.
The decision came exactly two weeks after the start of the preliminary hearing to determine whether the San Diego County District Attorney's Office has shown probable cause — despite never finding the body of the missing Chula Vista mother of three — for a jury to determine whether her husband was responsible for her death.
Larry also faces one count of possession of an assault weapon when his trial begins on Sept. 14. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Larry Millete Hearing

WATCH: Maya Millete Recorded Discussion With Larry About Affair
Maya Millete Used 'Secret' Instagram Account to Facilitate Affair: Investigators
'Subliminal Wife Training': Detective Details Search History on Larry Millete's Laptop
Prosecutors spent weeks presenting evidence they say shows Larry's mental state amid his deteriorating relationship with Maya in the days before he allegedly snapped, including a video recording taken by Maya in the weeks before her disappearance, and surveillance video of the home in the days after. Larry appeared to be hyper-focused on a possible affair between his wife and a co-worker, prosecutors alleged.
Prosecutors presented phone call and text records that shows Larry's obsession with the affair, according to prosecutors. They say their evidence showed Maya went home on Jan. 7 and never left. Her cell phone disconnected days later, with its last location being their shared home.
What they didn't present was physical evidence of a slaying, like a body, a murder weapon or blood evidence.
Maya's sister, Maricris Drouaillet, and her husband, Richard, spoke to the media after Larry was bound over for trial.
In the prosecution's final argument that Larry should be bound over for trial, deputy district attorney Christy Bowles acknowledged that the evidence against him is mostly circumstantial but cited the famous Charles Manson case as a precedent for how a murder trial can proceed based solely on circumstantial evidence.
Bowles, reading from 1977's People v. Manson, said, "'the fact that a murderer may successfully dispose of the body of the victim does not entitle him to avoid prosecution. This is one form of success for which society has no reward. Production of the body is not a condition precedent to the prosecution for murder.'"
The fact that Maya's body was never found is actually circumstantial evidence that death was caused by criminal means because it is highly unlikely that a person suffering a natural death would dispose of her own body, Bowles said, citing the document.
Larry's defense team, meanwhile, contends that without Maya's body and without evidence of a crime at the Millete home or elsewhere, there is little to prove Larry committed murder.
Timeline: The Disappearance of Chula Vista Mom May 'Maya' Millete, 2 Years Later
Defense attorney Bonita Martinez said in her final argument that the mystery surrounding Maya's disappearance could mean she is still alive.
During the preliminary hearing, the defense argued that the alleged affair could have prompted Maya to disappear. Martinez said on Wednesday during closing arguments that when Larry found out about the affair, he didn't react with aggression but instead "took her back" and that there was no evidence that Larry would harm his wife.
The judge ultimately agreed with the prosecution that it was unlikely that Maya left home willingly and without contacting her family, and said there was probable cause to bind Larry over for trial.
The Case Against Larry Millete
Maya was last seen in the couple's home on Paseo Los Gatos in Chula Vista at around 5 p.m. home on Jan. 7, 2021. Her disappearance occurred two days before the family was set to travel on a planned trip to Big Bear for her daughter's birthday. Two days later, Maya's sister, Maricris Drouaillet, called Chula Vista police to report that her 39-year-old sister was missing. Maya's car was still at her home but phone calls went straight to her voicemail after her disappearance.
Since then, the residence was visited by police on multiple occasions, dozens of search parties have been held to locate Maya, and, in October 2021, Larry was arrested and charged with murder in the first degree as well as a weapons charge connected to a gun found during one of the searches.
Nearly two years to the day that his wife, Chula Vista mother of three May "Maya" Millete, was last seen, Larry Ibarreta Millete is in court for a preliminary hearing in what has turned into a murder case.
Since his arrest, Larry has had an enormous amount of time to contemplate the case being made against him by the office of San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan and the Chula Vista Police Department.
His case was originally set to be heard in the South Bay courthouse but moved north along with Moring, who was transferred to the larger downtown courthouse and who has presided over all of the status conferences and other hearings for the case during the past year. NBC 7 will stream live coverage every day of the hearing, which is expected to last two to three weeks, according to San Diego Superior Court spokeswoman Emily Cox.
In California felony cases, a preliminary hearing is held to review the evidence and listen to witnesses, culminating in a judge ruling whether the state has probable cause to try the defendant.

A reporter at Bastian Schweinsteiger's Chicago Fire asked the German an extremely confusing question that has been questioned on social media.
The German was asked whether he will be able to help the MLS side World Cup, which the player could not exactly understand.
He instead dodged the question after not hearing it but the rest of the room were quick to acknowledge the question.
It is not yet seen whether this could have been a joke, or rather a slip of words from a nervous reporter.
The German transferred from Manchester United to the MLS side after limited chances in the Premier League.
Basti will now play his remaining years in America and follow in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard, Lampard, Pirlo and David Villa.
Embarrassing…..Schweinsteiger was just asked if he can help the Chicago Fire win a World Cup….
The Manchester United legend has been speculating who the Red Devil's biggest contenders are for the Europa League.
Scholes, who thinks that United are definite favourites, sees Lyon as potential contenders in the final.
"I think Lyon are maybe the obvious contenders to United," he explained.

Q: Can a large file stored by my WCF service become corrupted? the thing here is that I have a WCF service to upload files that seems to work fine with small files but with large files it seems to corrupt them or damage them so I cannot open them later.
I want them to be no more than 5MB so I set the binding as I have seen in many posts:
<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="httpsBinding"
             maxReceivedMessageSize ="5000000"
             maxBufferPoolSize ="5000000"
             maxBufferSize="5000000"
             transferMode ="Streamed">
      <readerQuotas  maxArrayLength="5000000" maxStringContentLength="5000000" />
      <security mode="None"/>
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

The files are being uploaded and stored in a lynux folder shared using samba.
Everything is working fine, files of any type are saved xlsx, png, jpg, pdf, txt, the issue is that when the file's size is greater than (I don't know the exact limit) let's say 1MB I cannot open the files that are saved in the server. I have tested files of hundreds of KB and work but with an excel file of 3MB and a png image of 1.7MB are saved in the server but when I try to open them using the link I provide for the file or directly openning from the folder some message appears. In excel files something about an appdata temporal file not found appears and with the png a message telling "it seems we cannot open this kind of files" appear. I don't know if the correct word is corrupted but can the file somehow damage during the stream or the saving process?
Thanks for your help here.
I don't provide more code since there is no error message during the compilation or while calling the service so I don't have a stacktrace to show specifically where the issue is happening.
The files have the same size as the original? Yes!

A: So if someone runs into the same issue, check your buffer size.
I am using this form of reading the stream:
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(1000000) {}
Dim bytes_read As Integer = 0
Dim bytes_total As Integer = 0
Do
    bytes_read = invoice_stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    bytes_total += bytes_read
Loop While bytes_read > 0

I set the web config to 5MB but my buffer size is just 1MB that is why I got corrupted or damaged files when I tried to upload files of a size greater than 1MB.
The confusing part was when the saved files had the same size as the original and that is because of this line that i use to resize the byte array so that I don't get always a 5MB file:
Array.Resize(buffer, bytes_total)

So basically I stored just the last portion or last 1MB of the stream with a bunch of zeros to complete the original size.

Water softeners are highly effective at removing the minerals that are responsible for hard water. However, water softeners are often not enough. If you have impurities in your water, you may want to have the water that was softened passed through a second set of reverse osmosis water filters. Reverse osmosis filters have a difficult time removing calcium, so it is better to have these minerals removed from the water softener before having them passed through the reverse osmosis water filter. While both units are great by themselves, it is best to use them together.
A water softener removes hard water by running it over beads that are designed to attract the hard minerals to them, softening the water. The reverse osmosis filter uses a membrane that separates impure water from pure water. Normally, unfiltered water has minerals that want to migrate to the filtered water to achieve an equilibrium, but reverse osmosis water filters place pressure on the unfiltered water to avoid doing this.
Unlike with water softeners, reverse osmosis filters have the ability to remove the taste of chemicals and minerals from your water. Therefore, if you do not like how your water tastes, it is a good idea to have your water filtered through reverse osmosis. And unlike with other water filtration systems, reverse osmosis does not use chemicals.
While water softeners will remove many of the hard minerals that cause hard water, they will sometimes fail to remove some of them. Therefore, the reverse osmosis water filter is a second pass that removes the remainder of the minerals that were left behind by the water softener.
Using reverse osmosis and a water filter may seem like a splurge, but purchasing one is actually a great way to lower your expenses. Hard water can take its toll on appliances and can cost you money in maintenance. But if your water is softened, it will be much more gentle on your home and will end up costing you less money in the long-term.
Another issue with running a reverse osmosis filter without a water softener is that the hard water can clog the reverse osmosis filters. This will force the filter to work harder, which can run up the utility bills.

Announcement: Primority is pleased to announce the launch of US Import Agent, Inc., a US based 'FSVP' Import Agent service company established to help food companies export to the USA with the confidence that they are FDA compliant.
The new service ensures that food companies outside the USA, and who have customers who do not want to take responsibility for FDA compliance, do not need to establish an expensive office or employ food safety experts (PCQI's) in the USA. US Import Agent takes care of these requirements through the services offered.
The team behind the new company are all highly experienced food safety and FDA legal compliance professionals and will leverage Primority's 3iVerify solution to establish an effective solution for food companies who wish to export their products to the USA.
The New Brand: Our brand logo was designed by Primority CTO & Founder, James Flynn, with feedback from the new team at US Import Agent, Inc. It is designed to reflect the US flag, its colours and the US Eagle. The seven stars, a Prime number, represent the connection to Primority and the seven orbs in the Primority brand. The seven stars convey the movement of high quality, safe food into the United States under the assurance of FDA compliance.
Why This Service is Required: Food producers, processors or packers who export food products to the USA must now legally have a US based customer or 'consignee' who is willing to take responsibility for FSVP (FDA's Foreign Supplier verification Program Final Rule).
This is because there is a legal requirement to have a US based entity who will assess the food safety compliance of foreign suppliers and the foods they export to the United States.
The purpose of this rule is to ensure that foods imported into the USA meet the same legal food safety standards that US food producers and processors are expected to comply with.
In this situation, we believe that it is a more cost effective option to use the services of a US Import Agent than it is to establish, and staff, an office in the USA to take care of this legal requirement.
The new US Import Agent service is ideally placed to help with this requirement due to our extensive experience in FDA compliance, our network of multi-lingual PCQI's (Preventive Control Qualified Individuals). The use of our unique cloud technology solution, 3iVerify, will ensure that this new business helps carry out, and document, food safety assessments using an easy and efficient online 'cloud' framework.
Thanks to the speed of deployment of 3iVerify with its flexible and configurable FSVP assessment questionnaires and forms, the new service is up and running. Visit https://www.usimportagent.com for more information.

PGGM Infrastructure Fund increases interest in Walney windfarm
PGGM Infrastructure Fund has increased its ownership interest in Walney windfarm, which is located in the Irish Sea.
A 9.9% interest was acquired from Ampère Equity Fund which is managed by DIF. PGGM Infrastructure Fund now owns 24.8% of Walney Offshore Windfarms Ltd, a project with 367 MW of installed capacity of electricity generation which provides over 300,000 English households with clean energy.
Since 2012 PGGM already had a 14.9% interest in the windfarm, which on completion was the largest offshore wind project in the world. With the expansion of the interest in Walney, PGGM Infrastructure Fund has now invested directly in more than 1 GW generating capacity of renewable energy. This is roughly equally spread over wind and solar energy, located in Europe and in the United States.
Since it became operational, Walney has been contributing to the pensions of PGGM clients, such as Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn (the Dutch pension fund for the care and welfare sector). PGGM has classified its increased interest in Walney as an investment in climate solutions where market-rate financial returns are accompanied by a measurable positive impact on climate.
Erik van de Brake, Head of Infrastructure at PGGM: 'Walney was the first large-scale investment in offshore wind for PGGM and we have been able to use this experience to further invest in the windfarm sector. PGGM is investing long-term pension capital and therefore able to play an important role in financing the energy transition on behalf of its clients, in the Netherlands and abroad.'
PGGM is a cooperative Dutch pension fund service provider. Institutional clients are offered: asset management, pension fund management, policy advice and management support. On June 30, 2019 PGGM had EUR 238 billion in assets under management and was administrating pensions of 4.4 million participants. Around 750,000 workers in the Dutch healthcare are connected to PGGM&CO, our members organization. Either alone or together with strategic partners, PGGM develops future solutions by linking together pension, care, housing and work.

'SpongeBob SquarePants' Creator Dies After Battle with ALS
The man who invented the famous sponge living in a pineapple under the sea is dead at the age of 57-years-old.
Stephen Hillenburg died Monday after a battle with ALS. The creator of "SpongeBob SquarePants" revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with the disease.
In a statement, Nickelodeon said, "We are sad to share the news of the passing of Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants," adding, "Today, we are observing a moment of silence to honor his life and work."
Hillenburg was a former marine biology teacher with an affinity for art. After combining his two loves, he created SpongeBob, along with a multi-million dollar empire.
He leaves behind a wife, Kathy, and son, Clay.
