On Reader Turnover
Posted on December 27, 2011 by Thomas Mets
In a recent interview with the Spider-Man Crawl Space podcast, Peter David expressed what I thought to be outdated notions regarding turnover amongst comic book readers. He suggested that it was possible to avoid the stigma associated with a change in the character's marital status, by simply never mentioning that the character had been married.
My attitude is that if the mandate had come down to me, and I was told that we want to make Peter Parker single again, I would not have been in favor of waving a wand and saying it never happened. I don't understand the concept of "It never happened" because that means that all the life lessons and those things you've learned during it don't mean anything. My attitude would have been "Okay, fine, either we have them get divorced, or we kill off Mary Jane. That's it."
And the argument would be "Well, then, forever after, Peter Parker will always be a divorcee. Or he's always going to be a widower." And that's true. But that reckons without the concept of fan turnover. There are lots of stuff that you and I know about, things that happened 4 or 5 or 6 years ago, that there are plenty of Spider-Man fans who are new, and who have no freaking idea. You and I talk about "The Death of Jean Dewolfe" and there's going to be fans out there who only know about Jean Dewolfe and the Sin-Eater because they're buying a minimate.
So time as they say, heals all wounds. And four or five years ago you're going to have an entire raft of Spider-Man fans who are unaware of the fact that he was ever married to someone named Mary Jane. Twenty years from now, you'll have no one who is going to remember it.
I recall reading similar arguments from John Byrne, who suggested that it was a mistake for DC to reprint Jack Kirby's Fourth World comics, because these contradicted appearances by the New Gods in DC comics at the time. The idea that you could just ignore past comics may have once been true, but it's no longer applicable. DC writers can't just pretend that Jason Todd was never Robin, or that Barry Allen was never in the JLA, without some sort of explanation and probably a retcon.
The comics market has changed in a very significant way. While there will be some new readers who just won't be interested in older material, there will be other new fans who will devour much of the extensive backlog in a short amount of time. They will read classics like the Death of Jean Dewolfe."And they'll have many options for accessing those stories, including the back issue market, trade paperbacks and downloads, legal and otherwise.
Marvel could limit the access fans have to the material, in order to try to control perceptions regarding the character, by not reprinting any of it and making it unavailable for legal download. But that won't accomplish much, in the age of illegal digital downloads. Even if they hadn't read the older adventures, new readers could also still learn about the character's status quo in various articles about the Spider-Man comics online and elsewhere. And Disney would lose the revenue generated by reprints of all those acclaimed stories that happened while Peter and Mary Jane were married: Kraven's Last Hunt, Todd Mcfarlane and David Micheline's first Venom appearances, JM Dematteis and Sal Buscema's Harry Osborn Green Goblin Saga, the J Michael Straczynski/ John Romita Jr run of Amazing Spider-Man, the return of the Sin-Eater, etc.
In the old days, it was possible for publishers and editors to control what elements of a character's backstory readers were familiar with, as customers typically only bought what was available in the newsstand. But pretending that an element of the status quo, such as the lead being divorced or a widower, doesn't exist stopped being a viable approach when companies saw the financial benefits of keeping their classic material readily available. While you could disagree with the wisdom of the decisions in One More Day, the "time heals all wounds" strategy wasn't an option.

Bertone says:
The average Fantastic Four reader has no idea that Johnny Storm was ever married. There is a precedent.
Thomas Mets says:
There are a few differences between that and the Spider-Man comics.
It still involved a retcon, so that Alicia Masters, an existing supporting character, wouldn't be Johnny Storm's ex-wife. Considering that a defining characteristic of Johnny Storm has been his immaturity, it also doesn't matter if he was married or not. And his ex-wife has appeared in the books a few times since then.
That marriage also lasted for a shorter period of time (58 issues of a monthly VS 15+ years with a minimum of three monthlies), a stretch mostly consisting of forgotten runs on the title (Tom Defalco, Steve Englehart and Roger Stern). Although someone who picks up one of the Walt Simonson Visionaries TPBs will be off to Wikipedia to understand what happened.
"And his ex-wife has appeared in the books a few times since then."
Her last few appearances have not used the word "wife". She was called his "ex-girlfriend" in those. The most insulting was when he told Ben that it was "someone he used to date".
"That marriage also lasted for a shorter period of time (58 issues of a monthly VS 15+ years with a minimum of three monthlies), a stretch mostly consisting of forgotten runs on the title (Tom Defalco, Steve Englehart and Roger Stern). "
True. The point I'm making is there is a precedent and PAD's "50 years later" scenario is not impossible.
If Peter and MJ never remarry then 50 years from now Spidey will be 100. He will have been seperated from Mary Jane for 54 years and they would have only been together for 20 years….20 percent of his publication.
Trades (or tablets) will be around but the marriage would only cover 20 percent and it's possible that casual fans who only read the first 10 years and the last years can be unaware of the marriage. Even articles on sites like wiki (or the 2062 version) might only mention it in passing for a line.
There are many x factors here but it's possible. Johnny Storm proves it can be done..

Q: Sending array of int as @QueryParam in Jersey I am trying to write a GET method and send array of int's as QueryParam to it. This is how I am trying to do:
@GET
@Path("/test")
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Response test(@Context HttpServletRequest request,
        @QueryParam("list") final int list[])
{
    System.out.println(list.length);
    return Response.ok().build();
}

This results in 500 Internal Server error.When I tried using List of Integer, it worked perfectly. Doesn't Jersey support array as parameter or am I doing something wrong?

A: The implementation of this in jersey which is not supporting array as a parameter. As you need to pass it as an array just pass it by converting the list to array by using Arrays.asList(arr)
The java doc say that the type of method parameter should be :
1) Be a primitive type;
2) Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument;
3) Have a static method named valueOf or fromString that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, Integer.valueOf(String))
4) Be List, Set or SortedSet, where T satisfies 2 or 3 above. The resulting collection is read-only.

Sometimes parameters may contain more than one value for the same name. If this is the case then types in 4) may be used to obtain all values.
So using an array would not be possible in this case.

Thanks to Wilson, Seattle overcoming offensive injuries

Patrick Semansky
RENTON, Wash. (AP) As the Seattle Seahawks continue their roll toward the postseason in part because of record-setting play for Russell Wilson, they keep running into roadblocks.
First was the abdominal surgery that put Marshawn Lynch on the bench. Then the knee injury to Jimmy Graham that ended his first season with Seattle prematurely.
And most recently, the broken ankle and ligament damage suffered on Sunday in Seattle's 35-6 win over Baltimore by rookie running back Thomas Rawls, who had proven more than capable as Lynch's replacement.
In a way, all those obstacles have made what Wilson and the Seahawks have accomplished over the past four weeks even more impressive.
Wilson has put together one of the finest four-week stretches of quarterbacking at least in Seattle history, putting together a string of performances that are tough to match and propelled the Seahawks back into the discussion among the favorites in the NFC even if their playoff path is almost certain to be as a wild-card team.
But now the question will be can the Seahawks keep this stretch of exceptional offensive play going forward with yet another significant loss on offense.
''Our commitment is going to stay the same because we have a balance that we really play with. We have a philosophy and an approach that doesn't need to be changed right now,'' Seattle coach Pete Carroll said on Monday.
''If we were having issues and troubles then maybe something would happen. The whole idea of being a balanced attack is when you need it you can go to it and if we need to throw the football more we will. If we need to run the football more we will.''
Wilson's past four games have been remarkable. According to STATS, Wilson is the first quarterback going back to 1960 to have four straight games with a passer rating of 138.5 or higher. He's thrown for 1,171 yards, completed 75.4 percent of his throws, thrown 16 touchdowns and had zero interceptions.
And he's done most of it without needing to run for safety and scrambling from the pass rush. Seattle's offensive line has been equal to its quarterback and allowed Wilson to throw on time and without stress.
''When everything starts functioning right it can just go,'' Carroll said. ''There's been a lot of years where we've had really good finishes and score a lot of points and put up a lot of numbers and this is like that.''
Because of the uncertainty regarding when Lynch will return, the Seahawks signed Bryce Brown on Monday to add depth at running back. It will be DuJuan Harris and Brown likely carrying the load on first and second downs and Fred Jackson continuing his role as the third-down back going forward until Lynch is back.
After making a brief appearance at the team's headquarters last week, Carroll said Lynch will be doing his rehab offsite until he's ready to start practicing again. But there continues to be no estimate on when that'll be.
''He went through a big surgery. He's got a lot to get through. He's got to get past that, whatever impact that has had and then he's got to get back into football shape and get going,'' Carroll said.
Having a successful run game is crucial because the performance of Wilson has been based around the balance of what Rawls provided.
That will be the question going forward until Lynch returns whether that balance can remain with journeymen running backs filling in. Harris finished with 18 carries on Sunday, but averaged just 2.3 yards per attempt.
Rawls was on pace for another 100-yard game until he was injured.
''Right now we're going to stay on course and continue to push our approach and see that we can't keep it on a really good track,'' Carroll said.
NOTES: Seattle TE Luke Willson had an MRI on Monday on his ribs after getting hurt against the Ravens. Carroll said the initial diagnosis was bruised ribs. ... SS Kam Chancellor is unlikely to practice Wednesday after suffering a bruised tailbone. Kelcie McCray filled in after Chancellor was injured in the first quarter. ... DBs DeShawn Shead and Marcus Burley both suffered sprained ankles and will be evaluated later in the week.

Q: Save Current Recorded Macro in Notepad++
I'm hoping someone can help, or at least identify this is a known issue.
I'm able to record a macro in Notepad++ (Windows 7, 64-bit) and "stop recording" but at any time after that, the Macro menu choice Save Current Recorded Macro is greyed out.
I've tried doing this while running Notepad++ both as my standard user and as an Administrator, both times unable to Save Current Recorded Macro.
Since I'm not sure if an installed plugin is causing a conflict, I'm attaching a screenshot.
Thanks in advance for any help, Adam


Vanessa Krause was nervous about how she'd perform at her first state meet. Chesterton coach Kevin Kinel was quite the opposite.
It turns out Kinel knows what he's talking about.
The Chesterton freshman notched two fourth-place individual finishes and added a strong performance in the 400 freestyle relay to send the Trojans to their fifth straight top-five finish at the IHSAA Girls State Swimming Finals.
Krause was a part of the 200 medley relay team that started off the meet by winning the consolation heat by more than a second over Avon. Krause then held off Carmel's Ariana Bullard to take fourth place in the 50 freestyle (23.57). The freshman fell to Bullard in the 100 fly, but was able to edge out Munster's Nikki Smith for fourth place (55.26.
Chesterton senior Julia Campbell was physically exhausted after a long weekend that included two 500 freestyle races, but she walked off the deck with a smile after the Trojans notched a third-place finish in the 400 freestyle relay, the final race of her high school career.
Krause and fellow freshman Kelly Craig got a lot of experience that will pay off in the future on Saturday. Craig followed up Campbell's consolation victory in the 200 freestyle with a 13th place finish and then anchored the 400 freestyle relay team. Kinel beamed about the contributions from him young swimmers.
As Campbell and senior Kate Curley wrapped up their careers, Krause couldn't help but think about getting back in action as quickly as possible.
"Tomorrow is Sunday, so I'll probably take a nap, but Monday its back in the pool and getting ready for track," Krause said.

KENT STATE AND THE CITY OF KENT HONORED WITH CATALYTIC PARTNERSHIP AWARD; E-Inside; June 22, 2015
Kent State University and the city of Kent, Ohio, were awarded the inaugural Catalytic Partnership Award for their collaboration to revitalize downtown Kent and improve the connectivity of the campus and the city.
The Greater Ohio Policy Center established the Catalytic Partnership Award this year for communities that experience positive effects when sectors creatively and effectively collaborate to meet common goals for sustainable development.
A total of $130 million was invested in a redevelopment plan for downtown Kent to bring economic growth to the city. The partnership between the city and the university helped to successfully accomplish the following projects:
The PARTA Central Gateway, which brings pedestrians, bicyclists, bus riders and motorists together in an eco-friendly building
Acorn Alley I and II and Acorn Corner, which encompass shops, restaurants, office space and upscale apartments
The Kent State Hotel and Conference Center
"College Town Kent," which cohesively integrates retail stores, corporate offices, dining and residential living spaces
The Kent Court House
Expansion of the Lester A. Lefton Esplanade, which includes the Wick Poetry Center and Poetry Park and connects the campus to the business district of Kent
Upgraded traffic signals, signs, lighting, trash cans, planters and placemaking
Gregg S. Floyd, Kent State's senior vice president for finance and administration, said the revitalization of downtown would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of strong partnerships with the city, PARTA, local developers and the university.
"These types of partnerships only occur when each side has the backing of its leaders," Floyd said. "From the university's perspective, the Board of Trustees, President [Beverly] Warren and President Emeritus [Lester] Lefton provided strong support, which contributed greatly to the favorable outcome."
Floyd also noted the support of Kent City Council and the contributions of the late Dan Smith, who was the city's economic development director.
"Dan worked diligently on this project and was one of its strongest advocates," Floyd said.
Dave Ruller, Kent's city manager, said the city and university have a mutual commitment to the town-gown partnership, which has made collaboration a top priority.
"The city and university have taken the idea of partnership to heart, and the positive impacts for both have been unprecedented," Ruller said. "Across the country, university cities are recognized as being some of the most vibrant, engaging and fun places to be, and we're proud to have Kent being recognized as one of those great cities. We share services, responsibilities, ideas and resources – but most importantly we share a passion for our shared hometown."
Ruller said that the transformation of downtown Kent would not have been possible if the city and the university did not believe that Kent's downtown mattered to their shared future.
"Kent is a relatively small-sized city, but with one of the largest state universities in Ohio as our neighbor, we've been able to do some things that most cities only dream about," Ruller said. "We don't do all of this work to get awards, but when awards come along, it's a great validation that we're on the right track and our peers consider our work 'best in class,' which is a real honor. The greatest satisfaction comes from seeing residents, visitors, students and faculty enjoying the downtown sights and sounds and amenities."
The redevelopment project worked to align the city, university and business assets in such a way that downtown would become a catalyst for economic revival. The project supplied 969 construction jobs, created more than 700 permanent jobs in Kent's Central Business District, opened or expanded nearly 50 businesses, and increased commercial investment to an average of $55 million per year. The city of Kent and Kent State continue to work together to revitalize Kent with ongoing projects like the construction of new academic buildings on the Kent Campus, a new municipal public safety center, the connection of the Lefton Esplanade and Portage Hike and Bike Trail, and the upcoming road improvements to a section of Summit Street that runs through campus.

Are the Lords listening? Creating connections between people and Parliament - Information Committee Contents
CHAPTER 11: SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTIONS
120. We recommend that the House Committee should continue the travel subsidy offered to state schools outside the South-East visiting Parliament through the Education Service (paragraph 17).
121. We recommend that the Education Service should explore ways to encourage teachers and the relevant curriculum bodies to increase coverage of the House of Lords in the curriculum (paragraph 20).
122. In our view, members are the greatest ambassadors for the House. The Committee calls on more members to participate in the 'Peers in Schools' programme and to talk to groups outside Parliament. The Committee also recommends that Lords members of All-Party Groups encourage those Groups to consider how they could contribute to the outreach and educational work of Parliament (paragraph 29).
123. We recommend that the House of Lords administration should draw up options for a shadowing scheme to allow members who wish to participate to have a range of people shadow their work (paragraph 32).
124. People should be allowed to embed the House's proceedings on their websites, so that our proceedings can have as wide a distribution as possible on the internet. We recommend that a trial start as soon as possible. We have invited the BBC and the House of Lords administration to bring forward proposals for how the House can maximise potential synergies with the BBC's forthcoming 'Democracy Live' website (paragraph 44).
125. We recommend that the administration work in partnership with already established websites catering for interest groups (paragraph 46).
126. We recommend that there be a pilot exercise in which an online debate, promoted with a targeted section of the public, would be run in parallel with a debate in the Lords Chamber (paragraph 56).
127. We recommend that other pre-legislative scrutiny committees should invite the public to submit comments via the parliamentary website on the draft bill being scrutinised (paragraph 60).
128. We recommend that information and documentation related to the core work of the House of Lords (including Bills, Hansard, transcripts of public committee meetings, evidence submitted to committees, committee reports, records of divisions, expenses and the register of Lords' interests) should be produced and made available online in an open standardised electronic format that enables people outside Parliament to analyse and re-use the data (paragraph 66).
129. We recommend further integration of the various information sets (such as Bills, Hansard, records of divisions, the register of Lords' interests) on the parliamentary website (paragraph 73).
130. We recommend that the presentation of Bills on the parliamentary website be developed so as to make the legislative process more transparent (paragraph 76).
131. We recommend that it be possible online to look back and see how a Bill has been amended as it moves through Parliament (paragraph 76).
132. We recommend that the House of Lords administration invite officials in the Commons and PICT to explore with them the feasibility of creating an online system where people can sign up to receive electronic alerts and updates about particular Bills or portions of Bills relevant to their interests (paragraph 77).
133. The Government should work with Parliament to implement common standards for the categories of information we mention in this paragraph, so as to improve the flow of information between Government and Parliament and to enhance the public's ability to re-use that information (paragraph 78).
134. We call on the Government to start producing Bills in an electronic format which both complies with "open standards" and is readily re-usable (paragraph 79).
135. In relation to Bills, we also recommend that, for each Government Bill that significantly amends an earlier Act, the Government should produce an accompanying informal document to show the original legislation and how the Bill would change it (paragraph 80).
136. We recommend that the Government produce these documents as a matter of course before the Second Reading of a Bill in the House of Lords and that the House make them publicly available via the Bill pages of the parliamentary website (paragraph 80).
137. We ask the Government to explain how and within what timescale our recommendations will be incorporated into the work that Sir Tim Berners-Lee will lead on opening access to data (paragraph 81).
138. We recommend that there should be a trial period in the Lords in the 2009-10 parliamentary session during which divisions are recorded (paragraph 83).
139. We recommend that there should be greater access to the House of Lords for factual filming (paragraph 89).
140. We recommend that the administration revise the leaflet setting out the regulations governing filming (paragraph 89).
141. We recommend that a more appropriate room be assigned for interviews (paragraph 89).
142. We recommend that all public meetings of Lords committees be webcast with video as well as audio (paragraph 92).
143. We recommend that the parliamentary website provide contextual information alongside webcast House of Lords proceedings (paragraph 92).
144. We recommend a review of the parliamentary language used in the House of Lords to make it easier for people outside the House to understand our proceedings (paragraph 104).
145. We recommend that the House of Lords administration invite officials in the Commons to work with them to develop a Parliament-wide strategy for improving access for people with disabilities (including learning disabilities and mental health issues) both to Parliament and to parliamentary information (paragraph 114).
Actions arising from our recommendations
146. Of course, recommendations alone don't change anything. What is needed is action. To this end, we call for changes to the governance arrangements for the House of Lords information services, with a view to increasing member involvement. We have asked the Director for Information Services to draw up an action plan against which progress implementing our recommendations can be measured, detailing the deliverable activities for each recommendation and showing who is responsible for delivering them and by what date.
147. We have already started to act to make the House of Lords more open and transparent and we will do more in this direction over the coming year, as we show below. The Committee cannot, however, implement all of its recommendations. The ability to implement some of our recommendations lies with other committees within the House or with the Government. What follows explains who can act to realise our recommendations.
Actions the Committee has already taken:
We have approved members uploading their contributions to the House's proceedings onto YouTube.
We have looked at a pilot demonstrator integrating video and Lords Hansard, which would enable users to watch, listen to and read a past debate on the same screen at the same time, and decided that development should continue with a view to offering a full service to the public by summer 2010.
We have invited the Director of Information Services to bring forward proposals by the end of the year for establishing a database of members' areas of expertise and interest.
Actions the Committee will take:
We will consider the practicalities of running a pilot exercise in which an online debate for the public would run in parallel with a debate in the Lords Chamber.
We will consider options for working with partner organisations to develop online pupil parliaments and spaces for themed topic-based discussions for young people.
We will periodically review progress towards information and documentation related to the core work of the House of Lords being produced and made available online in an open standardised electronic format that enables people outside Parliament to analyse and re-use the data.
In December 2009, we will review progress towards the integration of the various information sets (such as Bills, Hansard, records of divisions, the register of Lords' interests) on the parliamentary website.
Later this year, we will review the arrangements for broadcasting Lords proceedings to make the footage more engaging.
We will invite the House to agree that there should be a trial period in the 2009-10 parliamentary session during which divisions in the Lords are recorded from within the division lobbies.
We will write to the Chairman of the Press Gallery to propose that the House of Lords offers information sessions to members of the press gallery.
We will later this year examine how the House might best inform the public accurately and impartially about how the House amends particular items of legislation. We will at the same time examine the case for the House producing an accurate and impartial summary of debates and consider the various issues involved.
We will consider proposals for a strategy to improve access for people with disabilities (including learning disabilities and mental health issues) to parliamentary information.
We will, within two years, review the implementation of our recommendations in this report.
Actions the Committee recommends the House Committee should take:
We recommend that the House Committee continue the travel subsidy offered to state schools outside the South-East visiting Parliament through the Education Service.
Actions the Committee recommends the Administration and Works Committee should take:
We recommend that the Administration and Works Committee allow greater access to the House of Lords for factual filming.
We recommend that the Administration and Works Committee review the leaflet setting out the regulations governing photography, filming, sound recording, painting, sketching, mobile telephones and pagers and produce a revised version.
We recommend that the Administration and Works Committee assign a more appropriate room for interviews.
Actions the Committee recommends the Government should take:
We recommend that the Government should work with Parliament to implement common information standards so as to improve the flow of information between Government and Parliament and to enhance the public's ability to re-use that information.
We recommend that the Government produce its bills in an electronic format which both complies with "open standards" and is readily re-usable.
We recommend that, for each Government Bill that significantly amends an earlier Act, the Government produce as a matter of course an accompanying informal document to show the original legislation and how the Bill would change it.

Are you under an assumption that self-learning content of your organization is limited to those expensive e-learning modules that you bought? Think again. Do you really think those are the only topics on which learning is happening in your organization?
For any organization, most of the learning needed, and happening, would extend far beyond those professionally developed e-learning modules. Learning is happening every day, haphazardly and yes, quite inefficiently. Why do I say so?
Employees joining your company are thrown into this sea of knowledge. Many existing ones have to also find their way through these as they have to learn to do new tasks.
Don't you think this material needs to be self-learnable? Should this material not follow those basic self-learning content rules that you expect your commercially bought content to follow? What if anyone in your organization could create great self-learning material in no time?
I will leave you with these thoughts.


I will never forget dropping off Caleb at EIU 8 years ago. I was so excited for him and so nervous for him I couldn't stand it. I remember driving away watching him through my tears in the rear view mirror and I swear my heart physically hurt. The years went so fast...how could we be here already?? Somehow I got through that and then 2 more kids leaving for their big adventure. Every drop off came with a flood of tears. After about a week a new normal took over and we all knew all was going to be ok. Us moms worry...it's just what we do. i can't even tell you how many times over the years one of them called me and were sick.....wait I have a point to this story...and a purpose...lol! Fast forward to the first 'sick call" I always felt the same...like I was going to get in my car and go make it all better!! I spent SO much time saying the same thing...what are you eating? how much sleep are you getting? who's sick around you?? I'm sure I only got half the story...lol...but I did get wiser over time.
After alot of sleepless nights I got smart...I started sending them with the tools they needed to stay healthy instead of running to the rescue and panicking AFTER they were already sick.

NAB claims FCC spectrum plan would shut down stations
It's possible that 40 percent of full-power local television stations might have to vacate their current TV channel assignment under the National Broadband Plan.
Michael Grotticelli
The NAB is on the warpath, calling on its broadcaster members to warn that the federal government is trying to take television stations off the air.
The FCC has wide support for allowing TV stations to sell off some of their excess spectrum inventory and expects to release 120MHz of TV spectrum as part of the government's stated aim of putting 500MHz of new spectrum into the market.
The NAB said 40 percent of full-power local television stations in the U.S. could have to vacate their current TV channel assignment under the National Broadband Plan, and a minimum of 210 of those stations could go off the air permanently.
The NAB analysis found that 672 of the nation's 1735 full-power TV stations must be "cleared" from channels 31-51 to accommodate the FCC's goal of reclaiming an additional 120MHz of spectrum from broadcasters. During the analog-to-digital TV transition two years ago, only 174 stations had to be cleared from channels 52-69 and forced to move to a new channel.
"If the FCC's National Broadband Plan to recapture 20 more TV channels is implemented, service disruption, confusion and inconvenience for local television viewers will make the 2009 DTV transition seem like child's play," said NAB president Gordon Smith. "NAB endorses truly voluntary spectrum auctions. Our concern is that the FCC plan will morph into involuntary, because it is impossible for the FCC to meet spectrum reclamation goals without this becoming a government mandate."
Eleven of New York City's 23 full-power TV stations would likely go off the air under the FCC plan, the NAB report said. In Los Angeles, 13 of 27 full-power TV stations would likely go off the air, as well as 12 of 19 in the Philadelphia market and 13 of 23 in the San Francisco/San Jose market, the NAB said.
Two trade groups disputed the NAB's "scare tactics." The spectrum plan calls for TV stations to voluntarily give up spectrum and for stations to be reimbursed for the cost of changing channels, said Chris Guttman-McCabe, vice president of regulatory affairs at CTIA, a trade group representing mobile carriers. The NAB is using scare tactics when the spectrum reallocation can accommodate TV stations and mobile broadband providers, he said in a statement.
With incentive auctions, some TV stations may volunteer to share their spectrum, and others may decide to shut down and take the auction money, creating less of a TV spectrum crunch than predicted, added Michael Petricone, senior vice president of government affairs for the Consumer Electronics Association.
"The NAB study sets up and knocks down a purely fictional straw man," he said in a statement. "The study presumes an unrealistic scenario in which every single existing TV station continues to operate over the air."
NAB's Smith calls FCC's Broadband Plan a 'great spectrum grab'
During his opening remarks to broadcasters, Smith was decidedly blunt in his comments.
NAB analysis of FCC spectrum plans predicts dire consequences for many broadcasters
Last week, the NAB released an analysis of the commission's National Broadband Plan showing 40 percent of all full-power TV stations could be assigned a new channel or forced to go dark.
Broadcasters respond to FCC's spectrum inquiry
Two key groups said that local TV broadcasters offer an array of social benefits that are irreplaceable by other services.
Local broadcasters claim they provide 'best use of spectrum'

When someone imagines "rentals", that person often will instantaneously bring to mind tiny-sized housing—like townhomes or apartments, which typically don`t provide residents with their own identity. In the event you`re considering relocating to Ogallala, houses for rent are also a great option. There are a lot of reasons behind why you would go with houses for rent in Ogallala instead of apartments, townhouses, or purchasing a place, and by using the right search tools, they will aid you in uncovering the right place that can meet your needs.
A large number of individuals favor houses for rent in Ogallala on account of the fact that they provide more space, in contrast with most apartments and condos. With lease commitments ranging from six months to a year, rental houses also provide tenants with the opportunity to leave immediately after their lease is up, without having to get a hold of someone to replace them. Plus, tenants are almost never required to try and do any kind of maintenance. Landlords or property managers are generally the ones who will take care of repairs and upkeep, but study your lease agreement carefully to ensure there`ll be no dispute over which party is responsible for what if by chance something happens.
The vast majority of houses for rent in Ogallala are usually found in surrounding regions, in contrast with being in the heart of downtown. Naturally though, if you are truly set on moving downtown, there will always be exceptions. The best thing about houses for rent in Ogallala—along with helping tenants save money—is that they make it possible for families, people with multiple housemates, and those simply looking for extra space to live together with each other comfortably. In contrast to apartments or townhomes, houses are freestanding structures that usually include at least some semblance of a lawn and never have communal laundry facilities or other communal domestic facilities.

Halloran, P.R., Hall, I.R., Colmenero-Hidalgo, E. and Rickaby, R.E.M. 2008. Evidence for a multi-species coccolith volume change over the past two centuries: understanding a potential ocean acidification response. Biogeosciences 5: 1651-1655.
Several months ago, Iglesias-Rodriguez et al. (2008) determined there had been a 40% increase in oceanic coccolith mass over the past 220 years based on data obtained from a sediment core extracted from the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean, over which period of time the atmosphere's CO2 concentration had risen by approximately 90 ppm, which finding was further found by them to be consistent with the results of several batch incubations of the far-ranging coccolithophore species Emiliania hyxleyi that they conducted while bubbling air of a number of different atmospheric CO2 concentrations through the culture medium they employed for that purpose.
Working with materials derived from the same sediment core, Halloran et al. analyzed the size distribution of CaCO3 particles in the less-than-10-µm sediment fraction over the past quarter-century.
This work revealed, in the researchers' words, "a changing particle volume since the late 20th century consistent with an increase in the mass of coccoliths produced by the larger coccolithophore species," which included Oolithotus fragilis, Calcidicus leptoporus, Coccolithus pelagicus var. pelagicus, and Helicosphaera carteri.
Halloran et al. say their data suggest that "in the real ocean the larger coccolithophore species increase their calcification in response to anthropogenic CO2 release," contrary to what typically occurs in the lifeless "virtual ocean" of certain theoreticians, who see bad consequences in nearly everything that could possibly be related to the historical rise in the air's CO2 concentration. They also state that "such a calcification response could be attributed to an alleviation of CO2 limitation in species that partly rely on the diffusive supply of dissolved carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, as demonstrated by a rise in photosynthetic efficiency with increasing carbon dioxide in cultures of E. huxleyi (Rost et al., 2003)."

FRIDLEY, Minn. (FOX 9) - A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot Thursday night in Fridley, Minnesota.
According to the Fridley Police Department, a male suffered gunshot wounds on the 6100 block of Fifth Street Northeast and later died at Hennepin County Medical Center.
The victim's identification is being withheld pending notification of the family.
The case is still under investigation, but the act does not appear random and the public is not at risk.
A use of force expert called by to the stand by prosecutors Wednesday testified that former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor and his partner were wrong to pull out their weapons inside their squad car in the 2017 shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, saying it violated police training in weapons handling.
Lt. Derrick Hacker of the Crystal Police Department was the first use of force to take the stand for the state. Hacker was paid nearly $30,000 to review the entire case for prosecutors and to testify at the trial. He is the commander of the West Metro SWAT team and serves as a firearms and use of force instructor.

Queen Elizabeth II Dead at 96.
Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96. The Palace says her Majesty the Queen died peacefully with her family by her side. Her son Charles, the Prince of Wales, will assume the throne. She missed the opening of Parliament for the first time in almost 60 years. In September of 2015, Queen Elizabeth became the longest-reigning British monarch in the country's history. She was crowned at the age of 25. Her coronation was watched by a television audience of 20 million people worldwide. She has been served by 14 British Prime Ministers, including Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, and Boris Johnson.
At our GEPAR Offices today we are very saddened by the News of the queen's passing. We send our prayers to the Royal Family.


Two months and a half ago, a journalist contacted me, seeking my reactions to comments by your Minister of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, January 11th. These comments were made in the context of the release of a report by an Iranian Parliamentary Committee implicating the former Attorney-General of Tehran, Saeed Mortazavi, in the death of three prisoners arrested during the protests which followed last summer's contested elections. In response, the Minister reiterated Canada's demands that Iran repatriate the body of my mother, Ziba Kazemi, and hold an independent inquiry into the circumstances of her arrest, detention and death at the hands of Iranian authorities in July 2003.

Tansey, the creator of ImpActive CBD, had just finished his freshman year with NCAA Clarkson in 2012 and was optimistic about the future at the age of 19.
The professional defenseman found CBD and a new path as a result of a near-death trauma and the ensuing dependence on painkillers.
From a chalet-style home in Denmark, where his Herning Blue Fox team is now on a 10-game winning streak and in first position in the country's top league, the Metal Ligaen, defenseman Kevin Tansey is participating in a Google Meet with me. His rigorous, physical style of play makes for many bumps and bruises, but the Canadian import has discovered a natural means of coping with pain after a tragic event flipped his life upside down as a teenager: ImpActive, a CBD topical cream.
He said, "I had a good first year. I visited camps and spoke with NHL teams.
He had gone to his car to get his overnight bag one night while staying at a friend's house in Ottawa for a summer hockey camp when he was jumped by an unidentified assailant and struck with a blunt weapon.
My skull was broken, my brain was bleeding, and I spent less than two days in a coma, Tansey claimed. "I shattered my shoulder and three ribs, which led to 17 or 18 dislocations and subsequent surgery. To be honest, I was hanging on for dear life. They weren't sure if I would survive for a few days."
Tansey fortunately made it through
But for the following three weeks, he was unable to recall anything and kept dreaming that he was in Toronto or back at Clarkson.
He recalled, "I'd never been offered Percocet or painkillers before. "Even though I was in excruciating agony, it masked it and left me in a fog. I tried to avoid it because I didn't enjoy it, but I was also struggling with mental and emotional ideas about never playing hockey again."
During his three weeks in the hospital, Tansey lost 80 pounds, and his doctor advised against him playing hockey because of his head injury. The devastating news contributed to Tansey becoming dependent on opioids, and she experienced some difficult moments.
He obviously missed the entire 2012–2013 Clarkson season, but he did return the next year despite his continued need on opioids. He would take them after games when he blocked shots or just to cope with the horror of that night in Ottawa.
Tansey came to his senses during his junior and senior seasons with the Golden Knights and decided he needed to stop using painkillers. Despite his lack of disclosure regarding his struggles, friends and relatives nevertheless offered support. His experience with painkillers in sports changed after he become professional.
When he got professional, he discovered how simple it was for players to obtain these items. "There was no organic method to heal."
Soon later, Tansey learned about CBD, a substance derived from hemp plants but without the psychoactive effects of marijuana. For him, it was amazing to receive pain relief from a doctor without experiencing a mental high.
He claimed that it marked a significant turning point in both his life and profession. I wasn't losing myself in a mental fog or trying to numb the pain.
For a new endeavor in 2020, Tansey partnered with a friend whose prior CBD firm had failed. While playing for Orli Znojmo in the Czech Republic, Tansey once again dislocated his shoulder. Because the team needed someone else for the playoffs, they decided to buy out Tansey's contract and give him a little financial advance. He and a friend started selling their product online, had a bigger firm buy them, and this fall relaunched ImpActive.
ImpActive offered players a choice for natural pain alleviation in their straightforward sales pitch for their product: For athletes, by athletes. Once used, the medicine, which comes in a roll-on stick, reduces inflammation within a short period of time.
He claimed, "The effect is local and you don't experience any brain fog." It won't harm you in the long run or cause reliance, either.

Amazing Theme ParksDelicious DiningGorgeous Resorts
10 Universal Studios Rides That Will Satisfy All Thrill Seekers
Posted by Karyn Locke on July 22, 2015
If you're a thrill-ride junkie like every member in my family, you know the feeling of excitement and adrenaline that rushes through you before the ride begins and the warm feeling of accomplishment after. And then there's the craving to do it again...over and over again!
It's what motivates me, and millions of others, to head to their local theme park, or even travel thousands of miles, for the adrenaline rush. You could say I'm a card carrying adrenaline junkie and proud of it.
If you've ever taken on the major Universal Studios rides, you know that this is the big leagues. From tall, vertical drops to weightless "zero-G rolls," this Orlando theme park can be one non-stop adrenaline rush after another. And it's with the wind in my hair and a knot in my throat that I give you my top ten choices for the best Universal Studios rides.
1) The Incredible Hulk
Photo: Cory Disbrow
How about a zero to 40 MPH acceleration in two seconds? Or a weightless "zero-G" roll? And if that isn't enough, the noise will certainly get you! The Incredible Hulk ride at Universal Studios is as thrilling as taking off in a jet plane without a windshield. Reaching 167 feet tall with a top speed of 67 miles per hour, this roller coaster is THE thrill ride at Universal Studios. The lines for are pretty long in the afternoon and on weekends, so if you want to avoid them, head there when the park opens or on a weekday.
Height requirement: 54" and taller
Location: Marvel Super Hero Island, Islands of Adventure
2) Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is something else! Why? You get to pick a song to jam to before jumping into your seat! Climbing 17 stories above the theme park, this Universal Studios ride combines audio and special effects engineered to create a rip, roarin' good time. With the world's first non-inverting loop, passengers will be holding their breath for the first drop. Yep, this one's popular, too, so jump in line when it opens.
Height requirement: 51"- 79"
Location: Production Central, Universal Studios Florida
3) Doctor Doom's Fearfall

If a 185-foot drop, straight down sounds appealing, then Doctor Doom's Fearfall is the ride for you. The arch-nemesis of the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom is more than happy to scare you right out of your pants while harnessing the fear and screams from his latest experiment. Using more thrust than a 747 jet engine to propel you upwards, without warning this ride at Universal Studios plummets to the ground and just like that the experiment's over. This thrill-inducing ride is rated for teens and older, but if you have a family member that meets the height requirement and wants to give it a try, go for it.
4) Dragon Challenge

Even if you've never read the books or seen the movies, Dragon Challenge in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade is a dual roller coaster worth waiting for. Guests get to pick the "dragon" they want to ride and race the other coaster on track that loop and intertwine. All the while you get an outstanding view of the park – that is, if you can keep your eyes open. Each coaster is a different ride experience, and since there are two coasters going at once, the lines go much faster.
Location: Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade, Islands of Adventure
5) Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
The latest and greatest thrill ride at Universal Studios, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts is a multi-dimensional adventure filled with 3-D graphics and special effects. With an interactive line through Gringotts Bank and down deep into its cavernous vaults, the wait is definitely worth it. The bank's goblins look frighteningly real and the interior is so true to the books and movies, you'll feel like converting your dollars to wizard coin. This Universal Studios ride is super popular and has lengthy lines no matter what time of day you go.
Location: Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley, Universal Studios Florida
6) Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
The first Harry Potter thrill ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey transports guests on a whirlwind adventure with Harry and his pals. Once again, here's another Universal ride where the line is a pleasure in its own right. You pass through the hall of Hogwarts Castle, past Dumbledore's office entrance, and through the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, leading you to the roller coaster. The line is not as long as when Diagon Alley first opened, but it's still a good idea to hit this ride first thing in the morning if you don't want to wait.
7) Jurassic Park River Adventure
Photo: Flabber DeGasky via Flickr
The ride begins as a leisurely water cruise through the jungles of Jurassic Park, and then like any good thrill, the raft veers off course and guests are taken to the restricted area of the park. With a broken fence in the Raptor pen, now you're on the menu, as you try to flee the deadly T-rex! You take an epic 85-foot plunge, nearly escaping the jaws of these ferocious beasts, but not without getting wet.
Location: Jurassic Park, Islands of Adventure
8) Revenge of the Mummy
Photo: Javier Loren via Flickr
Straight out of the movie "The Mummy," this one has all the makings of a top notch thrill ride, with incredible special effects and disorienting backwards movement. The ceiling lights on fire and the walls are crawling with scarab beetles, as you race to escape the clutches of the Mummy. With speeds of up to 45 mph, in pitch black conditions, you won't know whether to hold your breath or scream. Riders are required to store their belonging in lockers before the ride.
Location: New York, Universal Studios Florida
9) Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is a classic log flume ride that sends you over an impressive 75-foot drop. What's great about this ride is that children can enjoy the thrill of the plummet right along with the adults. The cool story will have the younger ones laughing along.
Location: Toon Lagoon, Islands of Adventure
10) The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man
Photo: Ricky Brigante via Flickr
Recently updated to high-definition 3-D, The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man melds stunning effects with a simulated 400-foot freefall. Spidey tries to rescue the Statue of Liberty and it feels like you're scaling and soaring through the air right along with him. My favorite part? Even though the thrills are high, it's a kid-friendly ride, great for the whole family! After all, you've gotta start them off early.

Police Nab 7 Suspects For Rape, One For Sodomy In Kebbi State
ImageCrime
By Ibrahim Bello On Jul 7, 2020
The Police Command in Kebbi has arrested seven suspected rapists and one for sodomy in the state.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Agunbiade Oluyemi-Lasore, made this known while briefing newsmen in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.
Oluyemi-Lasore, said that the arrests were made from May to June, adding that the period under review was challenging and eventful for the command.
The police Commissioner said that in spite of the daunting challenges, the command was able to crack most of criminal syndicates terrorising the state and made quite a number of arrests.
Oluyemi-Lasore said on May 10 and 30, one Musa Abubakar of Argungu LGA, 27 and Kabiru Hassan of Dandi LGA, 28, forcefully had carnal knowledge of girls aged 10 and 8, respectively.
Also on June 3 and 4, one Mu'awuya Mohammed, 30, of Masama village in Gwandu LGA, and Shafi'u Garba,25, along with Kasimu Muhammad, 25, of Hadani village in Arewa LGA, forcefully had carnal knowledge of girls aged 12 and 14.
He added that on June 12, one Sa'idu Haruna, 25, from Funtua town in Katsina State, deceived a 9-year-old girl, took her to an uncompleted building in Bunza town of Birnin Kebbi LGA, with intention to buy pure water and forcefully had canal knowledge of her.
"Moreover, on June 17and 23, one Abbas Abubakar, 22, of Rasha area in Bunza LGA and Bello Yahaya, 23, lured a 3-year-old, and a 13-year-old, and had carnal knowledge of them respectively.
"All the suspected rapists have been arrested by the police and have confessed to the crime," he said.
According to him, they would be charged to court as soon as investigation was completed.
Oluyemi-Lasore added that the command had on June 25 arrested one Aliyu Hamidu, 25, of Gwandu LGA for sodomising his 8-year-old brother.
"The suspect has confessed to the crime and would soon be charged to court, " he said.
The commissioner expressed dismay over the incessant cases of rape and other sexual and gender- based violence in the state.
"These are barbaric in nature and the perpetrators of such crimes should fear Allah and desist forthwith or face the full wrath of the law, if arrested," he warned.

Is it true that the Stallwell council and others have put a stop to this event ?
Scrambling Victoria mcc is facing resistance from Stawell council, Local shire and some locals who object to the 2018 Classic mx titles being held on farm land. The proposed venue is in between Ararat and Stawell and would have been a nice rolling natural terrain track near two x towns. Scrambling Victoria are looking at an alternate venue in Ararat. Will keep you posted.
Thanks FDR bloody councils .
Has Vic pulled the pin now and it's been moved to SA?
The event is going forward in Vic as planned with only a slight change of venue. It was originally scheduled to be held in Stawell Vic but will now take place in Ararat Vic, which is about 20 minutes or so from Stawell.
I guess it's close enough to be almost a SA event. Vintage seems strong in SA hope you get a lot of entries from there.
At this stage expressions of interest from WA is about 15 entrants and probably 25 to 30 bikes. No container this year but there may be some room left on the trailers that will be coming by road. Let me know if you need bike transport and I will try to coordinate this end. Looking forward to Ararat!!

Denver team's travel pods awarded at transportation competition
Denver's PRT Consulting pitched driverless cabs on their own elevated roadway
By Tamara Chuang | tchuang@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: March 9, 2017 at 6:27 pm | UPDATED: March 22, 2017 at 12:55 pm
Push a button and a personal cab will arrive to take you to your destination, traveling along a private track. That's the vision of Peter Muller, whose team from PRT Consulting won second place this week at a trade show competition focused on rethinking transportation.
PRT Consulting
A better way to get to work? The urban-friendly SmART system from PRT Consulting in Denver uses personal pods to move people from home to their destination. PRT won second in the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge, hosted by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
But unlike other contestants — including first place Hyperlane, which promoted a high-speed lane for driverless cars — Muller's SmART transit is based on systems that already exist. In 2011, Heathrow Airport added a 2.4-mile "personal rapid-transit pod" system that shuttles travelers between a parking lot and Terminal 5. And the Morgantown Personal Rapid Transit system at West Virginia University has been moving students along an 8-mile track since 1975.
"This is not pie in the sky but technology that is under development by various companies in the U.S.," said Muller, president of the Denver consulting firm pushing for these automated transit networks, or ATNs. "It's extremely feasible.
"My submittal was based on the fact we should be taking this technology and deploying it on not so much in campus environments like the ones today but in urban environments. And we're taking this to the next generation with a smart system that is higher speed and capacity."
The SmART transit system mixes a monorail-like elevated road with multiple pods to move people to their destinations. It's a project promoted by Denver-based PRT Consulting.

Muller's SmART system won the $35,000 second-place award in the Infrastructure Vision 2050 Challenge held at the Association of Equipment Manufacturers conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday. The trade group represents 900 companies in infrastructure businesses that build bridges, repair roads and do many other critical though not very sexy chores. The organization wanted to liven things up this year so it held a $100,000, crowd-sourced competition looking for ideas that represent the potential of the infrastructure industry.
"We wanted to tap into the innovative theater of innovators and challenge them to give us big and bold ideas and not the same old, tired conversation that's been going on in D.C. for the past 60 years," said Kip Eideberg, the organization's vice president of public affairs and advocacy. "Many, if not all of the equipment our members make is very technologically forward and advanced."
The first-place Hyperlane, which was pitched by University of California at Berkeley students Anthony Barrs and Baiyu Chen, combined the idea of cars and trains to build a hybrid lane where driverless cars can move at speeds of 120 mph.
Third-place finisher Kevin Lu pitched an Adaptive Pavement System, which embeds sensors into existing roads that are recharged every time a car drives over them. The sensors could be used to help automate traffic and reduce congestion.
"Some of the ideas are very big picture. But Peter's idea, it could happen tomorrow," Eideberg said. "The technology is here. The innovation is here. It's just a matter of convincing people to try it."
Muller's been pushing personal pods since starting his firm last decade. With small driverless cabs, travelers would hop in at a station and travel in the same cab till they reach their stop. There would be multiple lanes so cabs could bypass stops. Small neighborhood stations would be scattered every half mile so travelers wouldn't have to walk far from home.
New advances allow pods to travel faster than the older systems — 40 to 60 mph compared to 20 to 30 mph — and move more passengers. Instead of the 5,000 to 10,000 passengers per hour achieved today, Muller estimates the SmART system could carry 20,000 or more passengers per hour.
"Typical wait times are less than one minute. At Heathrow Airport, it's less than 30 seconds. When one arrives, you tell it where to go. You don't have to know which line you want to catch or how to get there," Muller said.
Building and maintaining multiple elevated tracks throughout a city might seem like expensive urban clutter, but Muller believes a system would be more affordable than a light rail system. With the advent of driverless vehicles, some skeptics have come around.
"Now they're saying, 'Wow, this is easier than driverless cars, so of course you can do it,'" he said. "The other argument is, 'Why do you still need this? All we need is driverless cars.' My answer to that is that other people besides me believe driverless cars will make congestion worse for the next 30 years. In the meantime, this solves congestion.
"For the most part, there is no silver bullet. We'll need cars and we'll need transit. This offers a bit of balance where transit that carries half the passengers will be far superior than what we have now, where cars carry 90 percent of passengers."

Returning a Lover, Binding and Obsession Spell that Works
Are you feeling like your relationship is falling apart? Do you feel like the only thing you want in the world is how your relationship "used to be" or "has the potential to be?" Are you so madly in love with your partner it seems like he/she is the key to your happiness? Well, look no further because our coven has come up with and mastered the spell for you. At witchcraftmoonspells.com, we can do a customized spell that will make your love life be everything that you have ever wanted and then some. Our Coven has come up with a way to combine a Return a Lover, Binding, and Obsession spell that is making couples become "Power Couples." The love is stronger then ever, the trust is returned to form, and you will literally feel inseparable.
Our Coven takes pride in our spells which have a phenomenal success rate. We make sure our spells work before releasing them on to the general public. This spell in specific is now one of our most powerful spells available to date. The feedback we receive has been amazing. Just today (which was the inspiration behind this blog post) we received an e-mail from a client that wanted nothing more then for her husband to stop their divorce process. She ordered the customized love spell and 3 weeks later her husband called her and asked her to go to dinner with him. She agreed, and he showed up with the divorce papers only to rip them up, and asked her for a fresh start. She told us that they are now so happy, and more in love then ever. They are renewing their vows this summer and they couldn't be more ecstatic! The journey that she went through was worth it because she knew in her heart of all hearts that he was her soul mate and key to her happiness.
With this spell in particular, the combination of returning a lover, binding them together permanently and adding obsession not only helped them resolve any issues that were keeping them apart, but it also made them both value their relationship more. The binding aspect of this spell caused them both to feel confident that they were with their one true love. The obsession caused him to realize that he can not live we return lover aspect reminded him how much he missed the relationship in general.
