Teen Titans Academy #12 Review

A such a cool costume wasted on such a dumb character.
I've been a pretty big fan of this series, especially the yearbook issue. I like the idea of having new heroes actively learning from characters like the Titans. In the beginning, this series had a really strong art style by Rafa Sandoval and an even mix between drama and establishing characters. Some people disagree, but that's what I think. It's this new arc of Teen Titans Academy that is pulling the series down for me.
I do love the last arc. Gorilla Greg coming into conflict with his uncle Gorilla Grodd was heartfelt and let these new kids take center stage. This new arc centers neither on what the series has established for these new characters nor the classic Titans. It focuses on random events and reveals it hasn't built up.
This series was sold on the return and reveal of Red X. The thing is people want to know about the original Red X who stole Robin's original costume, not a new kid who for some reason suddenly thinks he is Nightwing's son. While it makes sense to make one of the new kids a new Red X, there's no surprise in that. This kid could never have been the original Red X, so the reveal in this issue is pointless to fans of Red X.
When… when was this a possibility? Even if Nightwing is acknowledged to be in his 30s, he's too young to be this kid's dad?!
To then have the Red X we want to know about show up and act completely out-of-character only makes the issue worse. Suddenly giving us the right Red X means nothing when he acts nothing like the character we know. Here, he comes off as the most generic villain to ever appear in a modern comic book.
He still looks cool, but that's only skin deep. This issue of Teen Titans Academy is a disappointing conclusion to a reveal that no longer matters and kills any suspense for the reveal that it still has up its sleeve. I just want to read about kids learning how to be superheroes, and this series hasn't done much of that at all.


HauntCon 2019 is in the books but we still have plenty of good stuff to you from the convention last weekend. In a sea of over the top super creepy Halloween animatronics that I saw sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go. One of the simplest, yet creepiest animated props I saw was the Crouching Clown from Morris Costumes.
Check out the Crouching Clown from HauntCon in the video below.
The prop is pretty simple but yet it's very scary. The way the clown is just crouched down as he sways back and forth is pretty eery. Is he about to jump up and bite you or is he simply scoping things out? I imagine he will be a pretty big hit this fall.
If you don't like the clown dressed in blue it's also available in blue. It's not often that you get a choice or variety in Halloween props. That's pretty cool that as a customer you get make that decision.
It's known for sure exactly what the Crouching Clown will sell for at retail but it's thought that it will be somewhere in the $149-$179 range depending on which store you find the prop. Every retailer has different profit margins. You might find it cheaper online. However, you also will likely pay just as much if not more when you factor in shipping. Like most props from Morris Costumes it's doubtful you will find them at Spirit Halloween. I was told that their props would likely be found at Halloween Express and other independent Halloween stores later this year.
Like most new props they will probably go on sale in the mid-summer and ship in late August. That's pretty standard in the industry every year with new Halloween merchandise.
Keep checking back. We have a lot more cool stuff coming out in a few months to show you. Halloween will be here before you know it!


Some have inquired about what it means to meditate on Gods goodness. On how His goodness seems to have gotten relegated to little more than lost among His lesser thought- of- virtues. And then "POP!"(The Lord listens in on my conversations, thank God!) I ran across this piece when I was revisiting Dallas Willard by reading again from one of His devotionals. It is well worth a look, especially during this Easter season. -g.w.
Psalm 24:1-2 (KJV) The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Three times a year, the Mosaic Law commanded a celebration in Jerusalem. It is hard to know how to emphasize the importance of this. We are so dried up, so oppressed and depressed, concerned and devoted, and overworked with so many supposedly good things, that the joy of celebrating God's goodness is lost. Many people go about with the attitude that "the earth is the devil's and the fullness thereof," or "the earth belongs to someone who is giving me trouble." Celebration is what is needed.
If we can't celebrate the goodness of God, we don't have much to go on. It is through celebration that the strength comes to do the thing that needs to be done when it needs to be done. Celebration, as a discipline, allows the power of God to flow through us better than almost anything else, and our efforts with the other disciplines won't work very well without it. But it must be natural; it cannot be a forced experience.
People will tell you that you should praise the Lord, even when you feel like life has wrung every last drop of joy out of you. But we have to be careful with that because it might backfire on us and leave us even more juiceless than when we started.
God's goodness is everywhere but sometimes I need to clean my foggy lens or I think the whole world is in a fog. Morning coffee is a point me in the right direction start, but Being in the Word seems to clear these eyes and see as God would have me see each morning for me. Yes, HIs goodness is beyond measure.
Good point, my friend. The noise of our own mind fogging our viewing lens can blind our vision from seeing Gods goodness when it's all around us and in us. Being in His Word each morning is the best way to begin clearing the lens. And consciously looking for His appearances throughout our day keeps us aware that He is everywhere and never absent.

Michael Moran & Celia Gibson
Woodworker & Designer, Apartment & Shop, Harleston Village & The Neck, Charleston
4 4 Feb 2013
Interviews > Michael Moran & Celia Gibson
Michael Moran can show himself into a musty, abandoned barn and excavate a gnarly piece of oak, unseen for one hundred years. From the outside, the board might look dusty and dry, but when he cuts into it, the old knots and veins tell the story of the American South. Moran makes wood furniture: sleek, minimal, contemporary heirlooms that glorify that natural beauty of wood.
We meet him and his partner, Celia Gibson, in their historic apartment in Charleston, SC, two days after Conde Nast Traveler voted the city the best in the world. Sun pours in the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting crystal shadows on the art gallery walls and over-stuffed bookshelves. The high ceilings make tiny space seem deceptively larger, or at least large enough for a cat and greyhound. "Michael would have six dogs if we had just a little more space!" Celia says.
Conde Nast voted Charleston the Best City in the World. Big news! What do you make of it?
Michael: Funny. It's interesting, kind of unbelievable. I guess we ranked higher than London, San Francisco, Florence, all those places? Huh. Of course we agree, it's the best city in the world — for us, at least. Here we are, right in the heart of the American South and you have all of these people here from all over. It's an incredibly accepting and diverse community, but it still feels like everyone is pushing toward the same goals.
Celia: Between the two of us, we have lived a lot of places, but we feel like Charleston is one of the few cities in the US that really respects its history and tries to stay relevant.
Michael, what is your background and how did you get started building furniture?
Michael: I guess it goes back to my Dad. I was born in Kentucky and my father is a retired psychiatrist, gardener, and poet. He raised my sister, brother, and I with a deep appreciation for making things. He taught us that if we wanted something, we had to build it for ourselves. He wasn't exactly a woodworker, but he built all of the furniture in our house. It was rudimentary for sure, but it served our purposes. I came to Charleston 14 years ago to study anthropology and I started apprenticing with a carpenter here in town.
Celia, what about you? Where are you from?
Celia: I'm from all over really. We moved a lot when I was a kid, but we always stayed south of the Mason-Dixon line. I graduated from boarding school and moved to London where I lived for four years. I worked in the publishing department at the Tate Modern and then got my Masters in English at the University College London. I fell in love with Michael and moved back here in 2010 to partner with him in the business.
How did you two meet?
Celia: We met at a pub in town, which is strange because neither of us are big fans of bars. We joke because at the time he was reading War and Peace and I was right in the middle of this tome of a Virginia Woolf novel, and that's what we talked about, right there in the middle of that crowded bar.
And I don't mean to pry, but are you married now or what?
Michael: You could say we've been engaged for a long time. We call each other partners. Well, actually we don't really call each other that in the South because if I say "my partner" here, people assume I'm gay. So we go with husband and wife a lot. We'll get around to doing it properly, I suppose.
It sounds like you two have a strong sense of collaboration. What is your philosophy and design process?
Celia: Since Michael is the craftsman, it's really important to us that his hands are on every piece from beginning to end. I handle the business side of things and do a bit of design consultation. Most of our work is commission based and we spend a lot of time with our clients. Sometimes clients know exactly what they want, but other times they look to us to start a dialogue. You need a coffee table? Okay, what are the specifications? What is the function you are looking for? Then we take them into our wood container.
Michael: I guess you could say that each piece starts with the wood. We know where every single piece of wood in our shop comes from, where it grew, why it fell down and how it got to us.
How does your wood get to you?
Michael: Oh man, we have so many stories. For example, we work with this one miller in Pennsylvania named Ed. He's kind of a grisly guy, I think he's a third generation miller or something. He has a lot of old trees on his land and when they fall, he calls us. We just got a curly maple from him that he thinks his great-grandfather planted. Sometimes the city of Charleston will call us and ask if we have any use for certain trees that need to come down. Recently, we've been working with one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in town. They have had to remove two giant elms and a magnolia because the roots were tearing up the old graves.
Celia: Yes, I think that is the coolest scenario, really. Because once we take that elm and make it into a lamp, it becomes a piece of Charleston history that will last for generations in someone's home. I love it when a client calls us and says, "Hey, we have a blighted tree in our backyard and we are not ready to see it go, can you help us do something with it?"
What does good wood look like?
Michael: Good wood for us comes from the American South and Eastern seaboard, occasionally from California. We don't mess with exotic wood because it's really hard to determine if it was sustainable cut or the result of some company running through the Amazon with a chainsaw.
Celia: We look for wood that has beautiful natural qualities that we can maximize. I tend to think that the most beautiful trees grow in our own backyards and in our cities. I mean, one reality of living in an urban environment is that trees have to come down. We love giving them a new life by creating art pieces.
It sounds like it is really important for you to have a narrative for your work.
Michael: It's funny you ask that, because yeah, of course it is. I think it's important to have a narrative in everything that you do. It is really natural for me to look for stories behind things in my life. And I think people are looking for that sense of narrative again. We see it in the Slow Food movement, in urban farming, all of that.
Celia: For us, it's about relevancy and respecting materials. I think that philosophy just naturally lends itself to a good story.
I read in the newspaper that your new woodshop used to be an old biker bar/strip club. How have you transformed the space?
Michael: Yes, it was a strip club and when we got the space it still looked like a strip club. You should have seen the graffiti on the bathroom walls. There was all kinds of tinsel and stuff. We kept a few wall paintings that we thought were cool, but mostly we redid everything. It's been quite a project.
Michael, it's no secret that you spin a pretty good party by night. Tell us about your DJ duo, Cassidy and the Kid.
Michael: I have this alternate life as a DJ and it's kind of fun. I am holed up in a woodshop all day, so DJ-ing is really a chance to break out. I spin with my friend Josh Silverman. It's weird—music is totally different from woodworking, but I still find myself using the same creative principles.
Are you planning on staying in Charleston for good?
Michael: Well, we just got a new truck, so that's something, right? Yes, I think we will be in Charleston for a good while. This city suits us.
Michael and Celia thank you so much for spending the time to speak with us your trade and hometown of Charleston. We admire your sensitivity, conviction and passion for what you do. For more information on Moran Woodworked Furniture visit their website here.

COVID-19 VACCINE ACCESS FOR OUR REGION
SENATOR THE HON MARISE PAYNE.
SENATOR THE HON MARISE PAYNE
Australia will support the Gavi COVAX Facility Advance Market Commitment (COVAX AMC) to improve access for Pacific and Southeast Asian countries to safe, effective and affordable COVID-19 vaccines.
The COVAX AMC will secure and distribute COVID-19 vaccines for all countries, not just those that can afford to purchase or manufacture vaccines themselves.
Australia's contribution of $80 million will help secure COVID-19 vaccines for Pacific Island and Southeast Asian countries. The AMC will address the acute phase of the pandemic, providing doses for up to 20 percent of countries' populations in its first phase, ensuring that health care workers and vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, have access.
Access to vaccines will play a critical role in the economic recovery of our region from this pandemic.
Pacific countries eligible for COVAX AMC support include Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Kiribati. Eligible countries from Southeast Asia are Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, The Philippines and Vietnam.
Australia's investment builds on our strong support for Gavi. Australia will continue to promote health security in our region through our role as the Vice-Chair of the Gavi Board.
International investment in vaccine manufacturing and procurement is stronger when nations work together. In making this investment, Australia joins key donors such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy and Norway.
The COVAX AMC forms part of the wider COVAX Facility, a global mechanism designed to enable rapid, fair and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines to end the acute phase of the pandemic by 2021.

Is Gabriel really the Holy Spirit?
This is a brief reply to Muslim apologist Joseph Islam who wrote an article seeking to prove that the Quran teaches that Gabriel is the same as the Holy Spirit, "Is Gabriel (Jibril) an Angel?".
One of the ways he tries to establish his point is by appealing to texts such as Q. 2:97, 16:102 and 26:193, which say that the Spirit and Gabriel brought down the Quran to Muhammad. He then reasons from this fact that these entities must be the same since the Quran assumes that there was only one supposed divine agent of revelation.
I have already addressed this claim in several rebuttals, the links to which will be provided at the end. Therefore, I will not be responding to this assertion since I have no intention of repeating myself again.
What I plan to do here is to tackle Joseph Islam's denial that Q. 77:5 implies that there was more than one medium of revelation that allegedly brought down the Quran to Muhammad.
This is what he wrote in reference to Q. 77:5:
UNDERSTANDING VERSE 77:5
It is often asserted by some critics (especially from critical Christian corners) that verse 77:5 alludes to multiple Divine agents responsible for revealing the Quran to the Prophet. Such an argument is usually posited to counter any suggestion that there was only one Divine agent responsible for the task of revealing the Quran to the Prophet based on the interpretation solicited from verses 2:97, 16:102 and 26:193.
Quite apart from absolutely no mention of angels in the Arabic text of verse 77:5, the verse is best rendered implying those that simply spread the message of the Quran.
In verses 2:97, 16:102 and 26:193, the verb used to denote the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet is 'nazzala' / 'nazala'. The is [sic] clearly not the case in verse 77:5 where the verb 'alqa' is used which means to cast, throw, hurl, to convey or to offer.
First, the same Quran also employs the verse alqa to denote the supposed revelation of the Quran being sent down to Muhammad:
Thou didst not hope that the Book should be cast (yulqa) unto thee, except it be as a mercy from thy Lord; so be thou not a partisan of the unbelievers. S. 28:86 Arberry
This same verb is further used to speak of the revelation given to so-called messengers such as Salih:
Thamood cried lies to the warnings and said, 'What, shall we follow a mortal, one out of ourselves? Then indeed we should be in error and insanity! Has the Reminder been cast upon him (aol'qiya al-thikru 'alayhi) alone among us? Nay, rather he is an impudent liar.' S. 54:23-25 Arberry
Second, Joseph Islam's assertions fail to take into consideration that the Quran itself uses these verbs synonymously, just as the following examples demonstrate:
Exalter of ranks is He, Possessor of the Throne, casting the Spirit of His bidding upon whomever He will of His servants (yulqee al-rooha min amrihi ala man yashao min ibadihi), that he may warn them of the Day of Encounter, the day they sally forth, and naught of theirs is hidden from God. 'Whose is' the Kingdom today?' 'God's, the One, the Omnipotent. S. 40:15-16 Arberry
He sends down the angels with the Spirit of His command upon whomsoever He will among His servants (Yunazzilu almala-ikata bi'al-roohi min amrihi ala man yashao min ibadihi), saying: Give you warning that there is no God hut I; so fear you Me! S. 16:2 Arberry
Here we see the verbs nazzala and alqa being used in the same exact context of Allah sending down his revelations by the Spirit whom he commands and sends forth upon whomever he has chosen to be a recipient of revelation. The following text says something similar:
Say: 'The Holy Spirit sent it down (nazzalahu roohu al-qudusi) from thy Lord in truth, and to confirm those who believe, and to be a guidance and good tidings to those who surrender.' S. 16:102 Arberry
Third, Joseph Islam ignores the fact that the immediate context of Q. 77:5 is dealing with those who brought down the message which warns of the Day of Judgment:
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit), By the raging hurricanes, Which scatter clouds to their destined places, Then separate them one from another, Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation (fal-mulqiyati), To clear or to warn. Most surely what you are threatened with must come to pass. So when the stars are made to lose their light, And when the heaven is rent asunder, And when the mountains are carried away as dust, And when the apostles are gathered at their appointed time. To what day is the doom fixed? To the day of decision. And what will make you comprehend what the day of decision is? Woe on that day to the rejecters. Did We not destroy the former generations? Then did We follow them up with later ones. Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. Woe on that day to the rejecters. S. 77:1-19 Shakir
Since the context of the surah speaks of the day of decision, e.g. the day in which Allah will judge everyone for what they have believed and earned, this led certain Muslim commentators and translators such as Shakir to assume that verse 5 must be referring to the angels who brought down revelations such as the Quran for the purpose of warning mankind about this dreadful day. Note, for instance, the following translations and commentaries:
And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers, Hilali-Khan
by the casters of the remembrance, that is, [by] ANGELS that descend with the revelation upon the prophets and messengers, casting the revelation onto the [various] communities [of mankind], (Tafsir al-Jalalayn; bold and capital emphasis ours)
(By those who bring down the Reminder) and He swore by THOSE who bring down THE REVELATIONS, (Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn 'Abbâs; bold and capital emphasis ours)
(By the Mursalat `Urfa.) "The angels." From Masruq, Abu Ad-Duha, Mujahid in one narrations from him, As-Suddi and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, statements similar to this have been reported. It has been reported from Abu Salih that he said, "These are the Messengers." In another narration from him (Abu Salih) he said that it means the angels. Abu Salih has also said the meaning of Al-`Asifat, An-Nashirat, Al-Fariqat and Al-Mulqiyat, that they all refer to the angels. Ath-Thawri narrated from Salamah bin Kuhayl, who reported from Muslim Al-Batin, who reported from Abu Al-`Ubaydayn that he asked Ibn Mas`ud about the meaning of Al-Mursalat `Urfa, and he (Ibn Mas`ud) said, "The wind." He said the same about Al-`Asifat `Asfa and An-Nashirat Nashra, that they all refer to the wind. Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah all said the same. Ibn Jarir confidently affirmed that Al-`Asifat `Asfa means the wind just as Ibn Mas`ud and those who followed him said. However, he (Ibn Jarir) did not affirm whether An-Nashirat Nashra are the angels or the wind as has preceded. It has been reported from Abu Salih that An-Nashirat Nashra is the rain…
(The Fariqat that separate, the Mulqiyat that remind, excusing or warning.) meaning, the angels. This was said by Ibn Mas`ud, Ibn `Abbas, Masruq, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, As-Suddi and Ath-Thawri. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION HERE, because THEY (THE ANGELS) are the ones who descend with Allah's command to the Messengers, separating between the truth and falsehood, guidance and misguidance, and the lawful and the forbidden. THEY bring the revelation to the Messengers, which contains exemption or absolvement for the creatures and a warning for them of Allah's torment if they oppose His command… (Tafsir Ibn Kathir; bold and capital emphasis ours)
"Yet other scholars say that they refer to Allah's Prophets and Messengers. Ibn Jarir Tabari says that, in this matter, it is safer to observe silence. He says that both possibilities exist, but he prefers not to side with any particular interpretation. There is no doubt about the fact that some of the attributes are more appropriately applicable to the angels of Allah, and cannot fit the winds without unusual stretch of imagination, and others are more appropriately applicable to winds, and cannot apply to angels without a fanciful stretch of imagination. Therefore, Ibn Kathir's approach seems to be the best. He says that in the first three verses of this Surah, Allah swears oaths by various types of winds. In verses [4] and [5], Allah swears oaths BY THE ANGELS.
"If verses [4] and [5] are applied to the winds, THEN THE IMAGINATION WILL HAVE TO BE STRETCHED FAR TO INTERPRET THEM… The word fariqat is the attribute of the angels 'who differentiate (between right and wrong) distinctly by bringing down the Divine revelation'. The phrase fal-mulqiyat dhikran also refers to the 'angels'. The word dhikr 'Reminder' refers to the Qur'an or revelation in general. The verse signifies 'I swear by angels who [by bringing down revelation] separate between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, [and lawful and the forbidden]'. Likewise, I swear by angels who bring down revelation OR QUR'AN TO THE HOLY PROPHET. This interpretation IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE, AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY UNDUE STRETCH OF IMAGINATION… (to provide excuses [for the believers] or (to giving warnings to disbelievers… 77:6) This phrase is complement to verse [5]… then bring down the advice. [77:5] The 'advice refers to the 'revelation' that came down upon the Prophets. Verse 6 says that it serves two purposes. In the case of the people of truth and believers, it persuades them to seek excuse from Allah for their shortcomings, and pray for forgiveness; and in the case of the people of falsehood and disbelievers, it contains a warning for them of Allah's torment, if they oppose His command. (Mufti Muhammad Shafi Usmani Rahimahullah, Maariful Qur'an, Volume 8, pp. 675-676:; bold and capital emphasis ours)
It seems that these renowned scholars who knew the Arabic well all failed to grasp the distinction between the use of the verb alqa in this particular verse from the word normally employed to describe the sending down of the revelation, namely, nazzala/nazala. And they apparently couldn't tell that nothing in the Arabic would lead one to see a reference to angels anywhere in the context.
This brings me to my next point. Q. 16:2 expressly says that a group of angels bring down the revelations along with the Spirit whom Allah commands:
He sendeth down THE ANGELS with the Spirit of His command unto whom He will of His bondmen, (saying): Warn mankind that there is no God save Me, so keep your duty unto Me. Pickthall
This is further confirmed by the following text:
And WE (angels) descend not except by the Command of your Lord (O Muhammad). To Him belongs what is before US and what is behind US, and what is between those two, and your Lord is never forgetful, S. 19:64 Hilali-Khan
Could these texts be any clearer that it wasn't a single heavenly agent that supposedly came down to bring the alleged revelation to Muhammad?
Thus, whether a person accepts that Q. 77:5 refers to angels bringing down the Quran or not, the fact remains that the Muslim scripture itself denies that Allah only employed one specific spirit medium to communicate the supposed divine message to Muhammad.
Therefore, there is absolutely no warrant from the Muslim scripture to assume that only one supposed divine agent was allegedly responsible for "revealing" the Quran to Muhammad since all of the Quranic evidence clearly goes against such an assumption.
Finally, Joseph Islam's take on this text, and the disagreement among the Muslim scholars concerning its precise meaning, simply highlight the Quran's chaotic and incoherent structure. This verse is a perfect example of how the Quran fails to adequately explain much its passages, despite its repeated claims of being a perspicuous scripture which fully explains its verses in detail:
Shall I seek other than Allah for judge, when He it is Who hath revealed unto you (this) Scripture, fully explained? Those unto whom We gave the Scripture (aforetime) know that it is revealed from thy Lord in truth. So be not thou (O Muhammad) of the waverers. S. 6:114 Pickthall
One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. S. 16:89 Y. Ali
A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail; - a Qur'an in Arabic, for people who understand; - S. 41:3 Y. Ali
So much for the Muslim assertion that the Quran's eloquence and literary composition are unmatchable, and therefore divine in origin.

The Day Canada's Parliament Went Up In Flames
Should you happen to visit the Canadian Museum of Nature in the days ahead, look for a small plaque that reminds visitors that the museum doors were, for four years beginning 100 years ago, the entry way to a productive and effective Parliament.
Robert Waite Managing Director, Waite + Co.
Used with permission
Imagine this page from American history:
At a time of World War, Congress is in full debate on a cold and windy February evening. A note is handed to the Speaker of the House, leading him to pound his gavel and call his fellow representatives to immediate order.
"We must leave urgently..." he implores. Within two hours of the lawmakers' hasty departure, the entire capitol building is engulfed in flames, visible for miles by residents in the adjacent states of Virginia and Maryland. By the next morning the domed building is a charred shell, damaged far beyond the havoc wrought by the British a hundred years earlier during the War of 1812.
But the nation's business could not be put on hold -- it was, after all, wartime. Within a day Congress has relocated to the Smithsonian Institution, just down Pennsylvania Avenue. Galleries were closed; dinosaurs and natural history displays moved to the side; room was made for both the House and Senate.
For four years this would be the new home for Congress -- momentous years that include the passage of military conscription (the "draft"), the Income Tax and legislation that led to passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote.
If you think you missed this in your history books, you're right. It is not U.S. history. If it had been, chances are we Canadians would all have learned about it from Broadway plays, Hollywood movies, mournful ballads and PBS American Experience broadcasts. It would have dwarfed the tale of Dolly Madison rushing from a burning White House with a painting or two.
It is actually a page from Canadian history, and has been understated and under-hyped -- history just the way we like it.
But should we like it that way?
On Feb. 3, 1916, a fire started in the House of Commons' reading room (perhaps by an errant cigar) and quickly took hold. The centre block of Canada's Parliament building -- housing both the Senate and the Commons -- effectively burned to the ground. It was windy and cold -- it was Ottawa in winter after all -- and attempts to quell the flames were fruitless as fire hoses froze.
Seven people died in the flames, including a member of Parliament, a policeman, several staffers and two visitors. The only saving grace was the preservation of the Library of Parliament by a quick-thinking employee who shut the heavy doors between the adjacent buildings.
What happened next was truly amazing. Remember, Canada was in the throes of the First World War, or the Great War as it was known at the time. America had not yet entered and Canada was a major factor in the conflict, vital to Britain and France's chances of success. Canada needed to stay in the game.
Just a mile away stood Canada's newly opened national museum -- today the Museum of Nature -- and within a day, its dinosaurs and other artifacts were (gently) thrust aside and Parliament was back in business. The museum's theatre became the House of Commons, the mineral gallery the Senate. (And, yes, both seem fitting.) Canada never missed a beat.
I recently asked Margaret Beckel, president and CEO of the Canadian Museum of Nature, to reflect on what happened in her building 100 years ago:
"It is nice to think that the work we carried out back then, utilizing a great building, contributed to preserving our country during a devastating World War. I would like to think the work we do today -- in the Arctic, species discovery and preservation of biodiversity -- is equally important, not only to Canada, but the world."
Should you happen to visit the Canadian Museum of Nature in the days ahead, look for a small plaque that reminds visitors that the museum doors were, for four years beginning 100 years ago, the entry way to a productive and effective Parliament. Some cynics might say we should move Parliament back to the museum to see if we can get the same result -- I would simply say we should properly recall the effort.

Four good reasons to party vote Green
Posted by Young Greens of Aotearoa New Zealand on 20 September 2011
In this year's election there will be 14 Young Greens (YG) candidates spread across the country. This reflects the growth of the YG network during this last term. We're going from strength to strength and more YGs are taking leadership roles within the party.
It is of course fitting that a party like the Greens, which is inherently future-focused and solutions-based, is attracting bright, enthusiastic. talented young people. The YGs have injected new energy into the party which when combined with the wisdom of our founding members is proving an awesome combination.
Our 15 candidates have a range of backgrounds and experience and all contribute to a strong kaupapa based in ecological wisdom, social justice and building a smart green economy. Four of our YG candidates have been ranked in the top twenty on the Party list.
Gareth Hughes, a current sitting MP and stalwart of the YGs is number 7 on list. Gareth is a seasoned campaigner having worked for Greenpeace over a number of years on GE Free, deep sea trawling and climate campaigning. Gareth's most noticeable role at Greenpeace was leading the Sign On climate campaign with a star studded team of kiwi celebrities. Since entering parliament, Gareth has become the opposition's goto man on transport issues, making sure that Steven Joyce aka "The Colossus of Roads" has ample pressure on him over National's motorway building obsession. Gareth has also gained recognition as Parliament's champion for internet freedom over the file-sharing issue and campaigned for legislation that would ensure all rental properties are warm, healthy and energy efficient. Gareth is the candidate for Ohariu-Belmont.
At number 12 on the list we have Holly Walker who has a particularly strong background in social justice issues. Holly is a champion debater and had the honour of attending Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar where she completed her Masters in Development Studies. Currently she works for the Green Party Parliamentary team as a media and policy advisor. Holly played a particularly strong role in helping develop the Greens' child poverty priority, our goal of getting 100,000 kids out of poverty next term. Holly is the candidate for Hutt South.5
Julie-Anne Genter is our lucky 13 on the list and is one of New Zealand's foremost transport and urban design experts. Julie-Anne worked and studied in the US and Europe before immigrating to New Zealand and joining the Greens. Like Holly, she currently works for the Green Party Parliamentary team as a media and policy adviser where she covers a number of portfolios with transport as a key focus. While living in Wellington, current polling levels would see Julie-Anne enter Parliament as an Auckland based MP after the election. Julie-Anne is the candidate for Mt Roskill.
18 on the list is Aaryn Barlow. Aaryn's background is in the environmental movement and he has worked and volunteered for a number of NGOs. Currently he works for the Nelson Environment Centre on household sustainability and thermal performance modelling using Homestar. Aaryn lives off grid and is establishing up an organic farm based on permaculture principles. Aaryn helped develop the 'Warm Healthy Rentals' bill with Gareth, and also has a particular interest in energy and agriculture policy. Aaryn is the candidate for Nelson.
We need to build a richer New Zealand that ensures all our lakes and rivers are clean enough to swim in, where no children live in poverty and where we build a smart, low carbon economy based on green jobs. These are the Green Party's priorities for the next term, and the more votes we get at the election the higher our chance to implement them. Having strong YG candidates is a huge boost to the campaign and in the longer term, it means we will have depth of talent in the Party when we lead the first Green government :o)

Q: Controlling Relay Module with Ultrasonic Ranging Module on Raspberry Pi I'm trying to use Raspberry Pi Model B+ to create a program that uses an ultrasonic ranging module to control a relay module. I will use this thing I create to detect when a conveyor belt stops moving.
My program will rely on the ultrasonic ranging module to continuously measure the distance. Since there are objects on the conveyor belt, the distance will change continuously as objects move past the ultrasonic ranging module. So if the conveyor belt stops moving, the distance measured by the ultrasonic ranging module will stay the same. When this happens for 5 seconds, my program will turn off the relay module.
My code isn't working right now. What is the problem? Here's what I have so far. (Also note I'm using a GPIO extension board for the ultrasonic ranging module and relay module.)
#!/usr/bin/env python

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

TRIG = 11
ECHO = 12
RelayPin = 11    # pin11

def setup():

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(TRIG, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(ECHO, GPIO.IN)

GPIO.setup(RelayPin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(RelayPin, GPIO.HIGH)

def distance():

    GPIO.output(TRIG, 0)
time.sleep(0.000002)

GPIO.output(TRIG, 1)
time.sleep(0.00001)
GPIO.output(TRIG, 0)

while GPIO.input(ECHO) == 0:
    a = 0
time1 = time.time()
while GPIO.input(ECHO) == 1:
    a = 1
time2 = time.time()

during = time2 - time1
return during * 340 / 2 * 100

def loop():

while True:
    dis = distance()

    print dis, 'cm'
    print ''
    time.sleep(5)
    dis12 = distance()
    if dis = dis2
        GPIO.output(RelayPin, GPIO.LOW);

def destroy():

GPIO.output(RelayPin, GPIO.HIGH)
GPIO.cleanup()                     # Release resource

if __name__ == '__main__':     # Program start from here
setup()
try:
    loop()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:  # When 'Ctrl+C' is pressed, the child program destroy() will be  executed.
    destroy()

Fabulous Harbour Island in the Bahamas, is an ideal place to continue the nautical route from Eleuthera, with its only city Dunmore Town and excellent pink sand beaches, which are found all along the east side of the island. When it comes to localizing, it is important to know that it belongs to the Out Islands of Bahamas, and that it is known by locals as Briland. The buildings maintained pastel white picket fences, typical British tones of the eighteenth century, so it is considered one of the places in the Bahamas that has maintained its essence. In the interior of the island cars are not permitted (not the case for golf carts) so the best way to get around is by boat, from cove to cove, or between nearby islands. The easiest way to reach the island is from Eleuthera, although mooring firstly in one the 30 marinas of the Bahamas is also a good option.
The island is also known for its Caribbean atmosphere, rich pre-Columbian history and stories of buccaneers. Its crystal clear waters are ideal for water activities like diving or fishing. Interestingly, this island also has a great gastronomic fame, having some of the best restaurants in the Bahamas, with picturesque terraces offering unsurpassed views while you're enjoying everything from international cuisine to local food.

Get you a bae that loves you the way these two love each other!
Valentine's Day just went to a whole new level after Barack and Michelle Obama used social media to express their undying love for one another.
Michelle followed with a cute photo of their feet, reminding us of the two-week reprieve the couple took directly after Obama's last day in office.
"Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life and favorite island mate, @BarackObama. #valentines," she wrote.
But why do we feel like the jealous ex watching from the sidelines? Can they please grace us with a public appearance soon?


Last night was one of those nights. Where the dreams were intense and the spirit guides were busy giving lessons. One dream, oddly enough had Michael Jackson in it. I supposed it was because of his recent death.
In the dream, Michael was working behind a sales counter. A customer came in and threw a brick at him. The brick knocked him to the ground. Another customer came in, picked up the brick and threw it again. Michael hit the wall, then fell to the floor. This went on for a while, customer after customer, until he succumbed to his injuries, rising up as a spirit.

«Idol» — песня в исполнении корейской поп-группы BTS, ставшая лид-синглом с их третьего альбома-компиляции Love Yourself: Answer. Сингл вышел в продажу 24 августа 2018 года, также была записана альтернативная версия песни с участием американской певицы Ники Минаж.

Информация о песне
В публикации журнала Billboard''' говорится, что «Idol» — «вдохновлённый традициями трек», представляющий различные классические корейские музыкальные инструменты. Песня и последовавший видеоклип были созданы под влиянием музыки пхансори и фильма 1997 года «Без лица», снятого Джоном Ву. Издания Yonhap и Rolling Stone India указывают, что песня представляет собой EDM-трек, объединяющий в себе танцевальную музыку Южной Африки, традиционные корейские ритмы и каягым.

Информация о том, что группа собирается выпустить совместный трек с Ники Минаж, появилась за два дня до выхода сингла.

После выхода в свет, песня побудила интернет-пользователей к участию в танцевальном челлендже, ставшем известным под названием «Idol Challenge», где люди выкладывали видео с танцем под припев песни и попыткой повторить хореографию из видеоклипа. В акции приняли участие участник корейской группы B.A.P Zelo и американский танцор Стивен Босс во время эфира телепрограммы Шоу Эллен Дедженерес.

 Видеоклип
22 августа 2018 года группа выпустила тизер грядущего видеоклипа, который вышел через два дня. За сутки после выхода клипа на YouTube клип установил рекорд по количеству просмотров за 24 часа среди музыкальных видео, с 45 миллионами просмотров обогнав предыдущий рекорд среди K-pop видео «Ddu-Du Ddu-Du» группы Black Pink, а также предыдущего держателя рекорда среди всех музыкальных видео — клип на песню «Look What You Made Me Do» Тейлор Свифт. 29 августа видео установило рекорд 2018 года, набрав 100 миллионов просмотров за наименьший на этот момент срок.

 Отзывы критиков
В рецензии от издания Time'' «Idol» характеризуется как «клубный трек с тяжёлым битом, пульсирующий с энергией и мелодией саксофона над вершиной», а сотрудничество с Ники Минаж критик называет «началом грядущего появления BTS на американской сцене».

Posts tagged Australian Girls Choir
Ali Barter has a brand new video out today, is on tour, dreaming up a brand new album between shows, writing a book, and wants us to know who Delia Derbyshire is. What a woman.
Ali Barter - where to start? Some might say this remarkable artist from Collingwood first came into national consciousness when her song Girlie Bits made triple j's Hottest 100. But Ali has actually been recording and performing music since 2012, and before that, she sang in the Australian Girls choir for a decade. Her latest album A Suitable Girl - released in March this year after a couple of EPs and singles - is making waves for its musical sensibilities but also its underlying message of womens' strength. It would seem if there is one thing Ali is passionate about it is women in music. In an interview with The Right Note TV show, Ali tells Rolling Stone editor Rod Yates that she remembers sitting in a music history class and studying so many men in music, and was exasperated by the omission of women from music history. In December last year, her frustration led to a passionate Facebook post, which was removed at the request of university staff. Ali deleted the post but not long afterwards, her sentiments remained in a now widely shared opinion piece published on Junkee, the popular arts and culture website. In the piece, Ali references the many women who have been under represented and not celebrated enough when it comes to reciting music history. The feminist rocker brand is not one that Ali appears to be chasing, but her passion for women - past, present and future - in music, and more broadly art, is impossible to deny because it is something that is very deep rooted in who she is as a person. But that shouldn't distract from the fact that Ali Barter is an incredibly gifted, trained and dedicated musician, songwriter, performer, and creator of music full stop. On A Suitable Girl Ali Barter's clean, feminine voice is backed by super cool indie-rock licks and vibes, but her important underlying message to celebrate and speak up for women is a brilliant, and necessary for our times, bonus. Ali Barter took some much appreciated time from her very busy career to give Music Love this interview where she talks about Australian women in music, looking after her voice, and the last thing she saw that blew her mind.

Jack Reacher and Michelle Chang spent three days in Milwaukee. On the fourth morning she was gone. Reacher came back to the room with coffee and found a note on his pillow. He had seen such notes before. They all said the same thing. Either directly or indirectly. Chang's note was indirect. And more elegant than most. Not in terms of presentation. It was a ballpoint scrawl on motel notepaper gone wavy with damp. But elegant in terms of expression. She had used a simile, to explain and flatter and apologize all at once. She had written, You're like New York City. I love to visit, but I could never live there.

Victoria Beckham has re-designed an exclusive capsule collection for Net-a-Porter, launched today.
VICTORIA BECKHAM A/W 2011
The designer has revamped five of her bestselling dresses from her S/S and A/W 2011 collections for an exclusive line for the luxury online store.
The singer-turned-designer described the line as as 'chic, timeless and elegant.'
Holli Rogers, buying director at Net-a-Porter, said: 'Victoria's designs continue to sell out with breath-taking speed, and so the time felt right to rework five of the bestselling silhouettes in the season's hottest shades.'
Three of the dresses, priced between £1,050 and £1,950, have already sold out, with many of them reserved before they even hit the online rails.
Net-a-Porter have implied they will be getting more of the dresses to meet demand, but can not confirm when.
Mrs Beckham's second line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham – starting from just £350 – will also be launching in Spring 2012.

This chapter deals with loan transfers, beginning with an overview of the reasons for a loan transfer, benefits to the transferee, and effectiveness of the transfer. It then discusses two important preliminary issues that need to be taken into consideration before the transaction can commence, namely: matters concerned with conflict of laws issues, and matters relating to a banker's duty of confidence concerning its customer's affairs. It also describes the methods that are available under English law for a debt to be transferred and the consequences of those methods. The declaration of trust as a means in equity to alienate a right under a contract, such as a debt or other chose in action, is analysed as well. Finally, the chapter explores novation and sub-participation arrangements, along with issues in relation to assignments that are of relevance to declarations of trust (eg, rights v obligations, debtor's rights of set-off, priorities).

Q: cannot force app to portrait-only in iOS9 I need my app to only support portrait orientation. But after upgrading to iOS9, the orientation settings seem to have no effect. I have gone through this answer and here's my apps settings :

but still the app goes into landscape. what am I doing wrong?

A: Please check Info.plist for "Supported interface orientations".
It must show Portrait for your requirement. Sometimes it is not updated as project settings in General Tab. If you find landscape orientation over here then remove it.
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
</array>

A: There is some sort of bug in iOS9. It completely overlooks the plist file orientation settings. So I had to add this code to each of my UIViewControllers to get portrait orientation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    // Return YES for supported orientations
    if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
    {
        return YES;
    }
    else
    {
        return NO;
    }
}

- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}

#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED < 90000
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
#else
- (UIInterfaceOrientationMask)supportedInterfaceOrientations
#endif
{
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}

A: Looks like I found the problem. When I viewed the source of my info.plist, this is what I found :
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key>
<array>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
</array>
<key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad</key>
<array>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string>
    <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
</array>

No Idea how the UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad key came into being. It was not initially displayed when viewing as a property list, but started showing in property list after opened as source and saved.
Also there seems to be now way to set this in the general tab. Thanks to SamB and technerd for putting me on the right path.
PS: I am not sure if this is a bug or the intended behavior, so I welcome any insights on this.

Doe Run Inn
Brandenburg, KY / 1 Review
Address: 500 Doe Run Hotel Rd, Brandenburg, KY 40108, USA
Situated on the Ohio River, the working class town of Brandenburg, Kentucky is an incredibly small place. With a population of barely two thousand people and exactly four square miles in size, there is not much that can be hidden from view. But amongst the serene natural backdrop, against the nearby creek, the Doe Run Inn is one very active paranormal place.
Is the Doe Run Inn Haunted?
The area that the Doe Run Inn rests on was formerly a Native American settlement in the late 1700s. It was recorded that Squire Boone called the nearby creek Doe Run because of the unusually large amount of deer that lived in the area. Originally, the Doe Run was first called Stevenson's Mill and was an actual timber cutting building.
Over the years, the building ceased operations and was repurposed in 1901 into an inn due to a nearby water spring that was discovered and purported to have healing powers influenced by the Native American history. By 1958, a new set of owners added a restaurant and called it the Doe Run Inn and it was open for business. Decorated with over three centuries the Doe Run Inn is packed with plenty of history, and plenty of ghosts.
Ghosts of the Doe Run Inn
The activity is spread out against a wide variety of sightings and stories. Laughter and voices of children can be heard at all hours both inside and outside room number twenty, which was formerly a children's playroom.
Amongst the furnishings in room number twelve is a rocking chair that is sometimes inhabited by an older man who can be seen slowly rocking in it.
The reflection of a younger woman can be seen throughout the inn's mirrors. Her dress is antiquated and her expression said to be somewhat melancholy.
At other times, staff inside the Doe Run have had physical encounters as well. The apparition of a young mischievous Confederate soldier actually unties the shoelaces of employees and reties them very quickly causing them to fall over to the floor!
Many times during simple landscaping of the inn, staff have reported seeing a woman dressed in white, edging herself along the creek as if looking for someone in it.
Most stories and accounts from visitors to the Doe Run are non-violent in nature. Nothing demonic or sinister is said to prey upon any visitors to the inn. Paranormal enthusiasts speculate that the inn has simply adapted some of the ghostly energy given off by the centuries of people who have visited the area. For whatever the case may be, in Brandenburg, it is without a doubt the most haunted place there.

One Review
My parents own a property in Brandenburg on the river, which they visit periodically to maintain. On one of these occasions in December of 2006 when I was only 16, they thought it would be cute to stay a night at the inn. We took a large room on the second floor with 3 beds. Being a teenager cold and bored in the middle of nowhere, I complained openly all night about the room. After my parents had fallen asleep, I was unable to do so due to my fathers relentless snoring. I found myself shouting "Shut up!" for a good two hours before dozing off. There was a moment around 3am when my phone, my mom's, and sisters all died one by one. I could hear the virgin mobile jingle as they shut off. Then maybe 15 minutes after I finally fell asleep, something very angrily and aggressively lunged at my neck causing me to sit up screaming. It still throbbed as I yelled for everyone to wake up. I blame my teenage self for this, but it left me frightened and fascinated.

Q: Force java jar to not use classpath packages on EMR I am trying to run a fat jar through spark-submit on EMR. I am running into a problem related to package dependencies. This project depends on google adwords library which I have included in build.sbt. The problem is that google adwords library internally depends on a package called commons-configuration version 1.10 but when I run this jar on EMR through spark-submit which runs via yarn scheduler the version 1.6 of this package (commons-configuration) is used as it is part of the CLASSPATH on the EMR cluster. I get the following error
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.configuration.MapConfiguration
I have tried passing the dependency jar explicitly using option --jars of spark-submit
spark-submit --name my-awesome-spark-job --deploy-mode cluster --class package.path.to.my.Main --jars s3://jar-bucket/jars/commons-configuration-1.10.jar s3://code-bucket/jars/spark-code.jar

Doing this still gives me the same error as the package of older version from CLASSPATH is being used not matter what.
I would like to force my jar to include the dependency inside the fat jar and use them explicitly for certain libraries e.g google adwords library here. Thanks.

A: You could try to shade the dependencies that you are using and that have an older version available on cluster.
What do you use to build the jar? I've used this strategy with sbt
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-assembly#shading
But there is also a shade plugin for maven: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad recently caused another stir in the ongoing "war to influence the public" after giving an exclusive interview to Russian news channel, Rossiya-24 on Thursday. Although the entire interview has not been released, certain excerpts from Assad's interview are only adding to the Syrian-Russian narrative that the United States is trying to arm "terrorists."
"When we see that the United States truly desires stability in our region and stops threatening and seeking to invade, as well as stops arm supplies to terrorist, then we can believe that we can follow through with the necessary processes," Assad said yesterday.
To no surprise, Russian media is framing the U.S. as the enemy. Since all Russian TV channels are state-run, Vladamir Putin's administration filters a biased message to the public that not only shows him in a favorable light, but also his allies. Receiving news under a skewed lens, the Russian public is less likely to favor Syrian strikes, since it has been exposed to anti-American and anti-rebel coverage for over a year now.
To understand exactly how Russian media covers up Syrian government-related tragedies, a Global Newsroom article takes readers back to an event in March 2012. While the U.S. media was covering "the massacre of 47 women and children in Homs," the Voice of Russia channel repeatedly covered how Al-Qaeda was fighting with the Syrian rebels and made no mention of the massacre.
Currently, Russian television is painting an innocent picture of Assad, suggesting that evidence is inconclusive on whether Assad or the rebels used chemical weapons. Assad has only acknowledged that they exist in Syria. While pundits in the U.S. media are claiming that Assad would not have admitted having chemical weapons unless he was making an implicit threat, Assad credits Russia's superior leadership.
Like any other politician, President Assad knows that by complementing the Russian government his political narrative will become salient in the Russian public. In contrast, Putin allows Assad to appear on national television not only because they are playing for the same team, but also because Assad continues to inflate his influence. Each are working to counter the arguments President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry are presenting in support of the strike.
"Syria is making serious efforts so that our country and other states in the region will not be involved in a new crazy war that some proponents of the war in the U.S. are trying to unleash in the Middle East," Assad said in his latest interview. "All states claim that they do not cooperate with terrorists [Syrian rebels], but we know the West provides them with logistical support."
The framed narrative against the U.S. strike in Syria is enjoying success in Russia based on the theory of cultural congruence. The term suggest that most media outlets, even when not state-based, have the tendency to frame stories in allegiance to the country values. The more congruent the frame is to the public's preconceived understanding for or against an issue, the more relevant it will become in political culture.
The way the Syrian civil war is framed in the U.S. is concerning freedom, democracy, liberty, and human rights. Since the public is aware of these issues, they are unlikely to believe Assad's excuses for not issuing the use of chemical weapons. They are also less influenced by Putin's op-ed in The New York Times, since they would read it under a pro-American lens. On the other hand, Russians are more likely to believe that the U.S. is continuing its trek to become the "world's policeman" because the idea is more salient in their media narrative.
Needless to say, both sides will remain biased to what is actually happening in Syria as long as Putin ignores Assad's human rights violations.

Didanu (en accadi: 𒁲𒁕𒀀𒉡, transliterat Di-da-a-nu) va ser un rei d'Assíria, un dels 17 reis que es relacionen a la Llista dels reis d'Assíria durant el Primer període. La Crònica mesopotàmica diu que aquests primers reis "vivien en tendes" i per tant eren nòmades.

Didanu segurament era el cap d'una tribu semítica. Alguns autors l'identifiquen amb Dadan, que apareix al Gènesi, on es diu que era net d'Abraham. El segueix a la Llista Khanu o Hanu. Com que la Llista dels reis no indica cap parentiu entre els 15 primers, s'ha pensat que potser eren els caps de tribus que després es van unir per fundar Assíria.
