In the summer my and I were over in Nice for a good friends wedding, whilst we were there I took a bunch of daft photos, I've been trying to think of a way to show all the typo-signage, building stuff that I photograph for a while, usually it's taken as reference for fonts I'll never make, so at least now it's out there. Click the pic to go see the photos.
UPDATE - You can also access the photos via this page where I will add more photosets.
This is the first bit of painting in a while, well the background at least! I tried out a technique of putting down some strokes of Vegetable oil on painted card and then adding some layers of watered down acrylic, the results were the background of this drawing, just wiping it back now and again I was able to keep adding texture.
I'd like to try it on a bigger scale to see if it works, but just need to work a way of not using my cooking oil.


Azulfidine is used to treat ulcerative colitis. Azulfidine is a brand name for the Generic drug Sulfasalazine. In actuality it is not curative for the condition but helps by reducing the symptoms and its recurrence rate. In delayed release form it is also used to treat Rheumatoid arthritis.
Azulfidine is a salicylate and decreases the inflammation of the tissues. However, its exact mechanism of action to alleviate the symptoms of Ulcerative colitis is not clear.
Take it orally after meals with almost 250 ml of water. It is recommended to increase the water intake while using the drug.
For ulcerative colitis the dose is 500 mg 8 hourly and may be gradually increased to 1g 8 hourly. Consult your doctor for exact dose.
When Azulfidine should not be used?
How long should you take Azulfidine?


What started out as a simple load of laundry has ended with blood, tears and a new appreciation for a typically mundane chore.
In an attempt to both please his wife and also have clean towels, Rick Stevens embarked on what he now refers to as one of the worst experiences of his life.
It was a Saturday like any other. Rick awoke feeling groggy and in need of coffee. But first, he thought a shower would help ease him into the day.
After an exhaustive search of the other storage areas, Rick was at a loss.
It was then when Rick ventured into the laundry room to uncover a cold, chilling scene: a massive pile of dirty laundry strewn across the floor.
But those words would end up repeated in Rick's head for the next 7 hours. As he attempted to sort through the mess of cotton and denim, his grasp on reality became hazy.
Unsure about many details, Rick made the fatal mistake of just going ahead and washing stuff.
As the load of laundry finished, Rick's wife Stacey arrived home to discover him in the laundry room.
"What are you doing in here" she asked.
"I thought I'd do a load of laundry. Help out a bit." Rick replied.
But Rick hadn't run a cold cycle. Like a normal person, Rick assumed hot water would better suit dirty laundry. And as for the fabric softener and stain booster, well let's just say he didn't think THREE liquids would need to be added to a load of laundry. Couldn't someone just combine them all into one detergent?
As she opened the dryer, Stacey saw that several sweaters that were once mediums were now fit for an elf.
The white duvet cover was a blueish hue thanks to a pair of dark jeans, and specks of blood stained the once white towels after Rick had sliced his finger opening the dryer sheets.
However out of this disaster, both Rick and Stacey said they've learned a valuable lesson.
"I get it now. I do." said Rick, feeling emotionally defeated but ready to try again.

A wrinkle is a line or a crease on the surface of the skin. Wrinkles are caused by the breakdown of the skin's connective fibres,collagen and elastin. As the skin's texture changes, becoming thinner and rougher, the repetitive movement of the underlying muscles cause wrinkles to form in the upper layers of the skin.
Lines, creases, folds, crow's feet and brow furrows are some of the many types of wrinkles that can be found on the face.
As dermatologists, we can help you in your anti-wrinkle quest by reviewing your wrinkle concerns and properly assessing your skin. From there we will recommend the appropriate anti-aging technique to help you achieve the fresher, younger look that you are after.

If you're looking for an ID Card Printer that's not too expensive, produces great quality plastic cards quickly and helps you meet GDPR requirements by keeping your data safe, we recommend the IDP Smart 51 Secure.
We classify the IDP Smart 51 Card Printer as a 'mid-user' printer, one that is easily capable of handling 5000+ cards a year.
It's a little more expensive than an entry-level printer which you can snap up for around £500, but as you'd expect, comes with a whole load more capabilities – like speed, print quality, reliability and upgrade options; allowing you to add encoding capabilities on at a later date for example.
But what makes this bundle stand out in an increasingly crowded ID Card Printer market is its strength in GDPR compliance.
The IDP Smart 51 Secure Bundle works because it makes it very difficult for unauthorised people to access your data in the first place.
Don't forget – when you print an ID card, membership card, loyalty card or visitor badge with an individual's personal details or photograph, you have a responsibility for ensuring that data doesn't become accessible.
Many people don't realise that an imprint of the data printed into a plastic card is retained on the printer ribbon.
If someone can access the printer ribbon, they have a record of every individual's details that have passed through it.
So not only is it crucially important to securely dispose of the printer ribbon when you've used it, you need to prevent access to it in the first place.
Read more about our Printer Ribbon Shredding Service.
It comes with a Ribbon and Card Lock which means only the person with the key can unlock and use the printer, preventing bogus use.
The included Kensington Lock chains the printer to the desk. If you have a busy reception desk, or have print cards in a public area, this stops the printer going walkabout.
No other manufacturer offers a 5-Year Warranty on their plastic card printers, which shows the faith IDP Smart have in their printers.
We find the IDP Smart 51 to be fast, efficient and reliable. It's capable of printing up to 212 single-sided colour cards per hour, or up to 720 mono cards per hour. If you regularly print ID cards, membership cards or other plastic cards, it's hard to beat.
We are have a special 'end of budget- year' promotion on this model – just £699 + VAT and Delivery. This price isn't available on our website. Call 01244 526009 to speak to our friendly customer service team.

<Is all fair in love during war?
SkirtsAfire 2018 is diverse and daring>
Blood of Our Soil shines a personal light on an international conflict

With today's constant news cycle from sources both traditional and nontraditional, it's easy to feel like you're in information overload and to overlook or forget events that have disappeared from the recent information stream. With that in mind, it may be easy for many Canadians to forget there is a war that has been going on in Ukraine since 2014.
However, Lianna Makuch's new play, Blood of Our Soil, sets to humanize that conflict, and help all audiences reflect on how their personal histories shape who they are today. Following a successful workshop production last year, Blood of Our Soil runs March 1 – 9 at the Westbury Theatre.
Blood of Our Soil is Lianna's semi-autobiographical telling of the story of her grandparents fleeing the Bolsheviks and Nazis and coming to Canada and a look into the contemporary conflict in Ukraine. The play follows Hania, a Canadian woman, reflecting on her relationship with her grandmother, her grandmother's struggles during World War II and her journey to her ancestral Ukranian homeland.

Lianna said the idea of the play was ignited five years ago by a chance discovery of her grandmother's journal written while she was immigrating to Canada from Ukraine in WWII. "One part of the journal that struck me that she wrote was, 'how can our land not but be fertile when so much blood, both Ukrainian and foreign, has continually seeped into it? It shows that our enemies must love our land more than we do because they fight for it ceaselessly. Will we live to see that moment when our people join the circle of free nations?' That was something she wrote 70 years ago as she was fleeing the Bolshevik and Nazi armies. Historically speaking, for centuries Ukraine has been the middle point between the east and west and has been a geographically advantageous place and has seen a lot of conflicts."
When the contemporary conflict began in 2013, Lianna remembered what her grandmother had written in her journal and decided it was the right time to bring this story to the stage. "I wanted to bring my grandmother's journal to life but also demonstrate how things in Ukraine – this is still happening in Ukraine generations later. It's the same level of oppression and the same history is repeating itself. I am a second-generation Ukrainian-Canadian and grew up in the Ukrainian culture and this project has been the first time I've had the opportunity to where I've been able to blend my artistic career and my Ukranian cultural identity."
After last year's successful workshop production of Blood of Our Soil, which resulted in MP Linda Duncan making mention of it during a speech in Parliament about Canada's role in the conflict in Ukraine, Lianna was encouraged to continue developing the play, but, "I felt that I couldn't continue writing unless I went to Ukraine to understand. It's one thing to hear about something on the news or read articles, but it's always through someone else's lens or experience and that's not what this play is about. So [Director] Patrick Lundeen and [Dramaturg] Matthew Mackenzie, my Pyretic Production partners, went to Ukraine… Everywhere in the country, there is the undercurrent of the conflict, even though in some places it's hard to believe it's happening."
As part of the team's Ukrainian travels, they met with Ukrainians who had been displaced by the conflict, the Communications Director of the Donbass region where the war is occurring, veterans, the operators of an orphanage and more. Lianna says the people the team met with opened up to her in a way that helped shape and mold this new iteration of the story. "When people found out that we weren't journalists, they were much more open with us, sharing their personal stories and feelings and a lot of people thanked us for coming and not forgetting them… The people we met on our trip inspired characters and content in this production. The second act is set in Ukraine and we meet the chorus and they come to life as characters who are inspired by the people we met. Almost everything in this play is based in facts – things I've heard, people's stories, and it's really transposed people's accounts to bring it to life, much like how I brought my grandmother's journal to life."
As much as the story is rooted in past and present conflicts in Ukraine, Lianna says the story is universal. "We can look at our personal histories and how that forms our identities – how we're born of our personal histories. I also want people to see the humanity and the individuals who are affected by conflicts all of the world, to personalize those conflicts when you hear about them on the news."
Blood of Our Soil runs March 1 – 9 in the Westbury Theatre. Tickets are $17 – $22 through the Fringe Theatre Adventures Box Office.
To help audiences place the play in historical context, there will be an installation of the last 100 years of Ukranian history, curated by Marlee Yule.
A pre-show panel discussion will take place on March 2, featuring MP Linda Duncan and a veteran of the war in Eastern Ukraine, Dmytro Lavrenchuk.

Ethiopia - Historical Attractions, Regions, Cities and Population
Ethiopia, historically also known as Abyssinia, is Africa's oldest independent country and its second largest in terms of population. It served as a symbol of African independence throughout the colonial period, and was a founder member of the United Nations and the African base for many international organisations.Ethiopia has as many as 80 ethinic groups, each with its own language.
Ethiopia capital city, Addis Ababa, is the home of the African Union (AU), the headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), and numerous other continental and international organizations. Addis Ababa is therefore often referred to as "the political capital of Africa", due to its historical, diplomatic and political significance for the continent. The Federation of African Societies of Chemistry (FASC) and Horn of Africa Press Institute (HAPI) are also headquartered in Addis Ababa.
The national language, Amharic – Africa's only written language with its own uniquie script – is widely spoken throughout the country and is predominant in most of the big cities.
Ethiopian flag consists of three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red. The three main colors of Ethiopia flag (adopted ca. 1895) were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the Pan-African colors; the emblem in the center of the current flag was added in 1996.

Ethiopian climate varies according to the different geographical regions. The central plateau, lie between 1,800 m (6,000 ft) and 2,500 m (8,200 ft) above sea level, covers the large part of the country. Most of the country's major cities and tourist sites are located at this elevation, including historic capitals such as Gondar and Axum.The typical climate in this region is very mild, with temperatures on the most of the highlands averaging below 27°C (80°F). The average minimum during the coldest season is 5.5°C (42°F), while the average maximum rarely exceeds 27°C (80°F). Heavy rainfall occurs in most of the country during June, July, and August. Directly after the rains the highlands are wonderfully green, covered with wildflowers and sublime for trekking.
The modern capital Addis Ababa is situated on the foothills of Mount Entoto at an elevation of around 2,400 m (7,874 ft), and experiences a pleasant climate year round. With fairly moderate climate with minimal seasonal temperature variation. Addis Ababa has a dry season from October - February, a light rainy season from March - May, and a heavy rainy season from June - September. The dry season is the sunniest time of the year, though even at the height of the rainy season in July and August there are still usually several hours per day of bright sunshine. The average annual temperature in Addis Ababa is 16 °C (61 °F), with daily maximum temperatures averaging 20°C - 25 °C (68 °F to 77 °F) throughout the year, and overnight lows averaging 5°C - 10 °C (41°F - 50 °F).
In low the lowland fringes of western, eastern and southern Ethiopia, the climate can be significantly hotter and drier. Temperature variations in the lowlands are much greater, and the heat in the desert and the low lying Ethiopian grasslands and shrublands is extreme, with occasional highs of 50° C (122° F ). Dallol, 120 metres below sea level in the harsh salt flats of the Danakil depression, has the world's highest average annual temperature of 34 °C (93 °F).

Botswana's Economic Miracle
Where It Started

Year in, year out sports around the world produce record breaking performances and enticing story lines, among which rivalries that keep fans wanting more. The growth of sports over the last century has created an industry that spans from club ownership and sports agencies to sponsorships and media broadcasters. According to a 2011 study done by A.T. Kerney, titled, The Sports Market, the global sports industry is worth between US$ 480 – US$ 620 billion. As a result, most developed countries can count on the sports industry to make significant contributions annually to their GDP. On the other hand, developing countries do not share the same narrative. While sports are normally encouraged for health and wellness in developing countries, they continue to lack in economic contributions.
The Global sports industry comprises of several segments of which include; sporting goods, sports apparel, professional sports, amateur sports, high school and collegiate sports, sports marketing firms, sports sponsorship deals and sports facilities. From these segments countries housing some of the most profitable leagues are able to manufacture products for the markets in which they satisfy and for export. This has contributed to record all-time highs in sports revenues, of which a significant share is from ever increasing ticket prices and expensive media rights. In short sports are most profitable in developed countries, where the markets have a high purchasing power to warrant annual ticket sales and media rights. Whereas in developing countries the public does not have the capital or the numbers to support the sports industry.
Which begs the question, should developing countries continue to invest in an industry that does not contribute to their economies? Should developing countries continue to develop sports leagues that only thrive in high income countries? It is obvious that sports production is not a product of necessity but that of luxury. That the general public in developing countries cannot offer constant ticket sales or warrant expensive media rights. More so for countries with small populations, it is important to keep workers in the country producing for industries that do contribute to their GDP, as opposed to grooming workers for an industry such as sports that encourages migration to better paying economies.
It is apparent that organizations in any industry would want to have the very best in their field. This is most applicable in industries in developed countries, to which they pay whatever it takes. In the process prizing away skilled labour and a chance at economic growth for the developing world. As most developing countries do not have the market to make significant profits or attract the very best athletes, superior athletes in these countries feel inclined to leave to a bigger market. As a result, paying taxes abroad, contributing to another nation's economic growth and increasing the purchasing power of another countries currency. In Botswana, as long as there isn't a market to support the sports industry we wish to have, sports will prove to be profitable for already thriving economies in developed countries.
It is true that for almost every industry in the developing world, there will always be a higher paying one in the developed world. Because our way of life emulates theirs. But who's to say it will remain that way for ever. Industries collapse and industries are built, the challenge for developing countries is to find out how to export products not labour. As well as maximizing economic efficiency, of which affording resources to an industry such as sports that is not a contributor to the nation's economy, discourages. The Sport Journal's Robert Chappell (2004) argues that for a developing country with a frail, middle-income economy to succeed at sports, it would require a heavy use of resources from other sectors of the economy. An assertion that sports in developing countries are not only economically inefficient but are an economic strain on other sectors of the economy.
One cannot ignore the growth of sports in Botswana. It has encouraged physical wellness, collaboration and a vibrant support of national athletes. But a monetary contribution remains to be seen. Over the years, sports in developing countries have played second fiddle to sports in the developed world with a huge disparity growing between the two. For reasons among which; third world countries not having industrialized hence not crossing the threshold to becoming high income economies, and a replication of sports already satisfied abroad. It is time Botswana carved an industry of its own. With trailblazing examples set by Bollywood in India, and Mauritius' service sector, Botswana possesses the knowledge and capability to be on the forefront of industries such as software, service, hospitality, data analytics and, banking. Provided it became efficient with the small population it already has.

Tenants are first of all managed on the basis of their contracts. The entire lease contract portfolio can be entered in the software together with all their data, validity, fees and other contract terms. On the one hand this data can be used for preparing reports and expiry warnings, while on the other hand they lease the premises and objects.
Lease handling in the archifm.net system does not simply relate to properties, but also to objects. Both premises and objects can be leased individually for different terms and in different lease proportions. In some cases certain premises can be leased by several tenants, divided between them (e.g. corridor, kitchen), or certain premises or groups of premises can be leased temporarily on the basis of previously determined contract terms (e.g. renting meeting rooms). The archifm.net software system can handle all special cases, and due to its flexibility it has been successfully used at numerous locations.
Operation costs occur during leases in connection with work performed, and the consumption data must also be divided among the tenants. While the costs related to operation services can be easily attached to the lease contracts, public utility invoices are divided specifically. They may be divided on the basis of a previously determined fixed amount, but also in proportion with area, or on the basis of data measured and accounted for precisely using sub-meters.


Herb & Hedgerow is based on the south coast of England, where strawberries are quintessentially part of our heritage. During the summer months, there is nothing lovelier than a big bowl full of Eton mess or strawberries & cream while settling down to watch the tennis at Wimbledon. But did you know that strawberries and their tiny seeds are also great for your skin?
The woodlands around us here in Dorset are covered in wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca) and when we go out walking or foraging, we see lots of wild strawberries with their tiny white flowers growing all over the woodland edges. These wild strawberries are not just great for us, but also great for the wildlife around us who love eating these little fruity gems. 'Fragaria' means flavour and that's exactly why all of us love this fruit so much. These are not the strawberries you find readily available in the shops, instead these little wild or woodland strawberries are tiny, packed with flavour and covered in seeds. In fact, they contain an estimated 2,500 seeds to the gram (Vilmorin-Andrieux, 1885).
These nutrient-rich seeds are used to make strawberry seed oil. Oil suppliers in the UK also use garden strawberries (Fragaria ananassa) to make strawberry seed oil, which are collected as a by-product of the fruit juice and jam manufacturing industry. This is a great way to use a homegrown source of oil and to ensure that these beautiful little seeds aren't simply discarded. These tiny strawberry seeds are then cold pressed with a mechanical grinder or press to create a light fragrant oil. Its aroma is fresh, sweet and reminiscent of fresh strawberries – a perfect hint of a sunny English summer in your skincare!
In other words, strawberries aren't just great to eat, they're also great in your skincare. Strawberry seed oil is very high in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. These are essential fatty acids and are part of the Omega-3 group. Strawberries also contain an antioxidant called ellagic acid, which is the predominant phenolic antioxidant (a type of antioxidant found only in plant foods) in strawberries (Tabor, 2009).
In April 2009 researchers at Hallym University in the Republic of Korea demonstrated that the application of ellagic acid extracts from nuts, fruits and vegetables keeps skin more youthful by preventing collagen breakdown under the skin. Ellagic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin and prevents damage from ultraviolet radiation. The study showed that the skin care products containing ellagic acid provide many benefits such as reducing wrinkles, promoting collagen production and providing protection from UV rays (Bae et al., 2010). Research has indicated that strawberry seeds may contain more health-promoting effects than some other parts of this beautiful red fruit. The highest levels of ellagic acid are found in strawberry leaves, followed by strawberry seeds and then fruit pulp (USDA, 2007).
What a great anti-ageing skincare oil! Strawberry seed oil moisturises and protects the outer layers of our skin. The oil helps to repair the moisture barrier of the skin, thus helping to restore smoothness and suppleness. Strawberry seed oil is very rich and is also known as a 'dry oil', much like rosehip oil. It absorbs even faster than rosehip oil and leaves a subtle strawberry fragrance on your skin. It has a truly beautiful aroma and is one of the most divine skincare oils I've ever come across!

Top Five: The Most Popular Athletes In Los Angeles
The back-to-back NBA champion Lakers dominate the list of most popular LA athletes.
By Eric Stephen@ericstephen Jun 28, 2010, 1:45am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Top Five: The Most Popular Athletes In Los Angeles
Kobe Bryant is the most popular athlete in Los Angeles
With the launch of SB Nation Los Angeles, we introduce to you a weekly feature, the "Top Five." Every week, we will look at the top five of some aspect of Los Angeles sports. It could be anything really, ranging from announcers to sports bars to head coaches. You name the category, we will rank it.
The first in the series of Los Angeles "Top Fives" is the the top five most popular athletes.
1. Kobe Bryant
This one is really a no-brainer, as he is the main cog in the Lakers' back-to-back championship machine. Having just completed his 14th season -- do you feel old yet? -- Bryant is still a top five player in the league, and judging from the MVP chants at Staples Center every time he is at the line, he is seen in this town as a top one player in the NBA. The 2009-2010 season saw Kobe pass Jerry West to become the all-time franchise leader in points scored, and match Magic Johnson's five titles. Los Angeles is Kobe Bryant's town, and it will be until he hangs up his sneakers.
2. Landon Donovan
After the goal to beat Algeria to win Group C in the World Cup, there is a case to be made that Donovan could be the most popular athlete in Los Angeles, but Kobe is a tough man to top. Donovan captured the hearts of not only Los Angeles, but the country as well. The L.A. Galaxy star and Southern California native has now played in three World Cups for the U.S. Men's National Team, and is the highest scoring American player in World Cup history.
3. Pau Gasol
Think back three seasons ago. After getting eliminated by the Phoenix Suns for the second straight season, all was not right in Laker land. Our No. 1 choice might be No. 1 in Chicago or some other city instead, as Kobe was not a happy camper, and wanted to be traded. Flash forward to mid-season, and general manager Mitch Kupchak pulled off a coup, acquiring Gasol and a draft pick from Memphis for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Marc Gasol, and two first round picks. All the Lakers have done since acquiring Gasol is win 74.5 percent of their regular season games (a 61-win pace) and advance to three straight NBA Finals, winning the last two championships. The success the Lakers have had since trading Marc Gasol for his older brother Pau makes me wonder just what would have happened had the Dodgers ever traded Chris Gwynn for his older brother.
4. Andre Ethier
Ethier has made a name for himself over the last few seasons by winning games for the Dodgers in their last at-bats. Since the beginning of the 2009 season, Ethier has nine walk-off hits, the most in baseball during that time. Sending the fans home happy time after time is a great way to boost one's popularity, and Ethier is beginning to reap the benefits. A Silver Slugger winner last season, Ethier currently is in third place among National League outfielders in the latest All-Star balloting, looking to become the first Dodger to start an All-Star game since Russell Martin in 2007. Ethier is so popular, he even has his own brand new SportsCenter commercial.
5. Derek Fisher
I just want to point out that this list is for the most popular, and not necessarily the best athletes in Los Angeles. Who doesn't like D-Fish? It might be maddening at times as opposing point guards blow past him unfettered into the paint, but Fisher has a knack for hitting big shots. Without his aggressiveness in the fourth quarter, the Lakers might not have won Game 3 of this year's NBA Finals. In the last eight seasons that Fisher has played for the Lakers, they have made the Finals seven times.

Outrageous… Comcast Drops ALL Gun Shop Ads From Its Nationwide Cable Network
by Jim Hoft February 18, 2013
In the latest attack on gun owners – Comcast drops all gun shop ads from its nationwide cable network–
This is how it is in the new America.
A constitutional and very moral product is being targeted by the thugs in politics… While they force us to watch condom and impotence ads on a regular basis.
ABC 12 – WJRT – Flint, MI
ABC12 reported:
A gun shop owner said firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers are being targeted unfairly after Comcast announces it's dropping all gun shop ads from its nationwide cable network.
The cable company recently acquired NBC Universal and this is a long standing policy there.
When a local ad agency recently placed an order for Williams Gun Sight in Davison Township, it was denied. Owner Tom Wright said he'll take his business elsewhere.
"I thought it was ridiculous, we are a legitimate business, we have been here for 80 years," he said.
Business has never been better at Williams Gun Sight Company in Davison Township. It was earlier this year when Wright decided to re-run a 30 second spot on cable television, only to find out he couldn't. "There's no reason why we can't promote what we believe in and something that's guaranteed under the Second Amendment," he said.
Andrea Olson is a media buyer for Canadian American, the local ad agency who originally placed the order. Olson said the agency's owner was outraged. "He thinks this is a direct infringement on our constitutional rights and links it to gun control, and he's a member of the NRA and passionate about the issue," she said.

Review – Green Lanterns #48: Jess On the Run
Comic Books DC This Week
June 6, 2018 June 5, 2018 Ray Goldfield
Image via DC Comics
Green Lanterns #48 – Aaron Gillespie, Writer; Ronan Cliquet, Artist; Hi-Fi, Colorist
Ray – 8/10
Corrina: Spotlight on Jess
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
Ray: I was surprised to see that Green Lanterns #48 was written by Aaron Gillespie, one of the graduates of the DC Writer's Workshop, as opposed to regular artist Tim Seeley. Seeley's run seems to have concluded early, as Jurgens is starting after this two-part finale. Interestingly, this arc is very much not a fill-in, as it picks up directly after last issue's reveal that Jessica's ring still had a major impurity in it. Hal Jordan was deputized by the Guardians to retrieve her and take her ring, but before he could, this issue kicks off with Jessica having apparently gone rogue. She wakes up with what she describes as a sober hangover (she doesn't drink) and finds that she helped a major fugitive escape justice and is now hunted by law enforcement around the galaxy, including the Corps. Despite being new to the franchise, Gillespie does a really solid job with Jessica's character, starting when she scams a young Lantern into letting her go by playing to his ambition, taking the opportunity to escape.
I'm guessing this story is at least partially based on Seeley's plans because it really digs into the past of his run. The first major place that Jessica goes to seek refuge while she tries to figure the events of the previous night is the home of Anthene, the former regent of Ungara. It's revealed that her daughter Liseth is recovering from her injuries after being possessed and becoming the big bad of that arc (the end of that arc made it look like she was dying) and both are more than willing to give Jessica the benefit of the doubt as she tries to figure out why she would have switched sides. This is a fast-paced issue, aside from the interlude on Ungara, and Jessica is constantly on the run as the manhunt for her gets more and more focused. Simon eventually winds up being called in by the Corps, setting up a showdown next issue between the partners. Although there's a guest writer on this issue, it actually does feel like a close to Seeley's run, and it's looking like a strong finish.

Corrina: I had to double-check the credits again, as this did seem a continuation of Seeley's concepts and story. But Gillespie shows his talent for storytelling too, as this is a fast-paced, exciting issue with a good mystery at the core. My one complaint is that I fail to understand why the GLs would turn on Jessica so swiftly without waiting for a proper explanation but I guess I can chalk that up to yet another "Hal Jordan is a jerk" moment.
However, this issue is a terrific spotlight on Jessica. It shows off her skills as a Lantern, her natural ability with people, and how far she's come in managing her anxiety, which never goes away fully but can be controlled. Her friendship with Anthene was well done and I'm glad that mother and daughter have a happy ending after a weird conclusion to their arc.
Hopefully, the conclusion to this story will erase my doubts about Simon's angry appearance at the end of this issue.

in: Minecraft Builds Begun in 2014, Buildings in Cranston, Adustelan, Arenas and Stadiums, Minecraft Builds made by StaticAnnouncement
Joel-Cranston Crosscourts Arena
"Crosscourts" redirects here. For the C/H Line Subway Station, see Crosscourts (Adustelan Metro Station).
Interior of The Crosscourts (February 2016)
The Joel-Cranston Crosscourts Arena (known locally as The Crosscourts or, colloquially, "The Joel Bowl") is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Cranston, in the City of Adustelan. The arena is home to the Adustelan Wombats basketball team when in basketball configuration, and home to the Adustelan Skuas hockey team of the NHL when in hockey configuration.
History (fictional)
Facade of the arena facing Ventana Avenue during construction, November 1980
The arena opened in 1981 to accommodate the Adustelan Wombats basketball team, which became part of the countrywide CBA (Carrawayan Basketball Association) in 1985. The Adustelan Skuas hockey team wasn't founded until 2003 and didn't start utilizing the space until 2005, when they joined the NHL (making Carraway Island the third country represented by the league, after the United States and Canada).
A Salsa Shack location opened in the arena on November 13, 2015.
Development in Minecraft
The interior of the arena was constructed before the exterior, by StaticAnnouncement in March 2014. Inability to envision the arena's exterior or interior hallways led to the arena construction being held off for over a year and a half. Progress on hallways and exterior elements commenced once more on November 13, 2015.

Buddy Nation shows love to the homeless and their pets with Valentine's Day lunch
Alicia Doyle
Special to Ventura County Star
Homeless from February through June of last year, Jane Van Note was living in her car with two Siamese cats as she held a part-time job that earned her just enough money to buy clothes at thrift stores and food for herself and her pets.
"I wasn't used to it; I had money all my life," recalled Van Note, of Ventura. "I came into financial troubles; I couldn't pay my rent. I'd been looking for a job and couldn't get one; I'm 60, so it was very complicated."
Today, Van Note works for the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging. She credits her life off the streets to the Salvation Army as well as to Buddy Nation, a nonprofit founded by Cappi Patterson that that helps the homeless with veterinary bills, food and other costly services for their pets.
"I'm proud to tell people that I was homeless and if it weren't for these people and Cappi, I don't know what I'd be doing," Van Note said. "It's important that people who are homeless and have pets to get the attention they need because the pets are their life…animals keep them alive, they don't do anything but love you."
MORE:As temperatures drop, some feel fortunate homeless shelter finally open
On Sunday, Van Note paid it forward as one of several volunteers at a valentine's box social at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ventura, where she brought a decorated box filled with enough food for two. The boxes were auctioned off live, with all funds benefitting Buddy Nation. After the auction, those who brought boxes were paired with a homeless person in attendance to enjoy lunch and camaraderie.
The room was decorated in a Valentine's Day theme, with sparkling red garland accenting tables covered with heart-shaped chocolates. One table was covered in artwork created by Carrie Gordon, of Los Angeles, who donated 50 percent of the sale proceeds to Buddy Nation. Lori Sunshine, of Ventura, volunteered to play music on her harp.
"We're trying to reinforce that they are us, that any of us could be in the position of needing a place to live if you miss a paycheck and you miss a house payment," said Patterson, of Ventura.
"The public keeps talking about them – them is us; and that's what we try and reinforce with everything we do," Patterson emphasized. "The pets are the warm and fuzzy part of homelessness. That's why we get donations. Because people say, I hate the homeless, but I love animals."
MORE:Plans for Ventura's homeless shelter detailed. See how it's different.
Teri Foster, of Oxnard, donated a box filled with ham and cheese sandwiches, potato salad, cookies and fruit.
"I just feel like I have so much," Foster said. "I wanted to share something and I thought this was a neat way to help animals and people at the same time."
Kappy Paulson brought a lunch box with food suitable for a vegetarian, including cheese sandwiches.
"People without homes don't go into shelters because…their pet is not welcome at a human shelter, a people shelter," Paulson said. "Sometimes these folks on the street will feed their animals before they feed themselves."
MORE:These are the homeless in Ventura County
Barbara Tomblin, a minister at First United Methodist Church of Ventura, brought three lunch boxes as a way to reflect her sermon earlier that day.
"I preached today, and this was one of my examples of what a wonderful, creative idea to promote something and raise money for a good cause," said Tomblin, of Camarillo. "We've done some things for the homeless and we think it's so important that they have their animals with them. It's an ongoing problem, but their animals are so important to them."
Among the guests was Katie, a 59-year-old homeless woman who asked to remain otherwise anonymous because she's currently looking for a job. She said she became homeless when she had to move out of her rental and didn't get her security deposit back.
"If one cog breaks on the gears, everything tumbles after that," she said. "When you're living paycheck to paycheck to no paycheck, the equation is homeless."
Despite her current situation, Katie showed up on Sunday as a volunteer and helped Patterson set up tables and complete other tasks.
"I live anywhere I want now. I'm trying to look on the bright side. When you don't live anywhere you can live anywhere as long as the police don't bother you," she said. "I'm here to volunteer because I'm homeless, but not hopeless."

Grabenüberschreitfähigkeit ist ein fahrzeugtechnischer Begriff, welcher hauptsächlich bei militärischen Fahrzeugen relevant ist. Es ist definiert als die maximale Breite eines Grabens mit (fast) senkrechten Wänden, die ein Fahrzeug überwinden kann, ohne abzukippen. Wenn das Schwerpunktlot mit der Grabenkante deckungsgleich ist und dabei gerade noch eine Abstützung am Laufwerk gegeben ist, ist das maximale Maß erreicht.

Die Grabenüberschreitfähigkeit ist ein Faktor, wie geländegängig ein Fahrzeug ist. Sie wird in der Regel in Meter (m) oder Millimeter (mm) angegeben. Je größer das Längenmaß, desto höher ist die Geländegängigkeit unter sonst gleichen Bedingungen.

Verschiedene Faktoren beeinflussen die Grabenüberschreitfähigkeit (teilweise nur auf Kettenfahrzeuge zutreffend):

 Schwerpunktlage des Fahrzeuges
 Kettenauflagelänge oder Abstand der Räder
 Höhe von Leit- und Triebrad
 Ketteneinlauf-/-anstiegswinkel

Bei einem buglastigen Fahrzeug ist tendenziell der Beginn der Grabenüberschreitung kritisch, bei hecklastigen Fahrzeugen das Ende.
