Whether it's a puzzle game or a fighter almost no video game made today is ever released without some sort of story element. And yet it still often seems as if storytelling in video games has made little progress over the years, with too many games sporting the same predictable plots and awkward dialogue. But the Ace Attorney series is different. Its plots may be nonsensical but it realises one of the key truths of storytelling: if you care about the characters you can get away with just about anything.
The first three Ace Attorney games cast you as a talented but inexperienced defence attorney named Phoenix Wright but also features a large and storied supporting cast. This ranges from a family of spirit mediums, to neutral parties such as Detective Gumshoe and the semi-senile judge, to rival prosecutors such as childhood friend Miles Edgeworth and the visor-wearing, coffee-addicted Godot. Most are barking mad, but usually a picture of sanity compared to the various loonies that end up in the witness box.
Ace Attorney is not the least bit concerned with realism and regularly features supernatural and sci-fi elements. At the same time, its grasp of legal procedure, even given the peculiarities of the Japanese legal system, would shame a five-year-old. It's silly, it's awesome, and we've always loved it.
As you might gather this is not a new game. What's more, things are going to get very complicated as we try explain exactly how not new it really is. The first Ace Attorney title was released on the Game Boy Advance back in 2001, but only in Japan. It wasn't until 2006 that it showed up in Europe, as a DS port with an extra touchscreen trial. In fact, all three of the original games started life as Game Boy Advance titles, and there have only actually been three mainline games since the series became a cult hit in the West.
The first three games have been ported to a wide range of other formats, although rarely a home console. This collection is based on the iOS version, which includes new higher resolutions visuals and a price tag that has mysteriously more than doubled since then. We can accept that ultra low-resolution Game Boy Advance graphics make no sense on modern HD consoles but the new visuals seem to have been created by tracing over the old sprites by hand, which robs them of a lot of their original charm. And as we said, charm is really what Ace Attorney is all about.
In terms of gameplay Ace Attorney is an offshoot of the age old visual novel concept; it's more interactive than most though and more than just a linear text story. All three of the games are split between investigating and defending a series of cases, with Phoenix speaking to witnesses and investigating the crime scene (no, that's not what attorneys do) before heading to court to try and break down their testimony by pointing out either logical or, through the use of evidence, factual inaccuracies in their story.
Each subsequent game has added a new gimmick, most notably the Psyche-Locks in Justice For All, but the gameplay and structure remains largely the same across the whole series. In fact, playing so many of them, one after the other, the formula of the trials is more obvious than ever. But that's still barely a criticism given the real appeal is the dialogue and characters.
What is a problem though is an issue that still hasn't been resolved in any of the games: it's often fairly obvious where the inconsistency in a testimony lies, but knowing exactly how and when the game expects you to prove it can be frustratingly obscure.
Often, you're able to work out the case on your own, but you have to follow the linear progression of the story to get to the point where Phoenix can catch up with you. Or worse the game wants you to use different evidence to prove a point than seems logical. These early game also have you pixel-hunting locations for clues, which thankfully the latter ones stopped doing.
This can lead to frustration and unnecessary repetition, but to be honest it's nothing a quick trip to YouTube can't solve. In the end, the biggest problems are simply the price and the charmless, sometimes amateurish-looking, visuals.
It would've been a much better idea to remaster the second trilogy of games, which began to use 3D models for characters, but considering there are several spin-offs that have still not even been released in the West it's clear that Ace Attorney does not have a big enough audience to justify that kind of outlay.
It deserves to though. And it would've been welcome evidence that Phoenix and his friends will continue their fight against injustice and boring video game characters for many years to come.
In Short: The sheer age of the games are beginning to count against them but Ace Attorney still remains exhibit A in how to make even the silliest story-based games fun and engaging.
Pros: One of gaming's most entertaining cast of characters, with sharply written dialogue and effective melodrama. Some clever puzzles and Psych-Lock conundrums. Plenty of content.
Cons: All the old problems with inconsistent, and occasionally illogical, solutions. The higher res visuals don't have the charm of the originals. Unfairly expensive.

Chamber of Commerce Lobbying on Climate Investing 'At Odds' With Member Stances, Says Report
Tags: climate chamber risk
November 23rd 2021
As the impacts of a changing Climate rapidly intensify worldwide, the climate crisis is also hitting businesses and the financial sector where it hurts: the wallet.
That's part of the reason that so-called ESG funds, which promise to emphasize environmental, social, and governance issues in making investment decisions, have become one of the fastest growing sectors in the financial world. By some estimates, nearly a third of the world's assets under management could be held in ESG investments within a few years.
A new report published today by the corporate lobbying watchdog InfluenceMap highlights the emerging battle over how exactly ESG investing will be defined and what businesses should disclose to their investors about the risks they face from a rapidly changing climate — questions that have also drawn the eye of financial regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). And that, in turn, has spurred a lobbying wave by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which calls itself "the world's largest business organization" and claims to represent small businesses and major corporations alike.
The Chamber has pushed back against "a mandatory approach to ESG disclosures and [is] instead pushing for voluntary, flexible, and market-driven reporting," InfluenceMap wrote, calling that position "highly misaligned with the majority of its own finance sector membership" including major banks like Citigroup and the world's largest asset management firm, BlackRock.
"Climate change presents an ever-growing financial risk to companies, which is why more and more investors are demanding to know what action companies are taking to respond to the inevitable economic and environmental changes required," InfluenceMap program manager Rebecca Vaughan said. "The Chamber's opposition to the SEC's proposal goes against the global push towards more comparable and reliable climate risk disclosures."
"It also puts it at odds with the vast majority of its own financial sector members," Vaughan added, "which begs the question: Who is the Chamber really representing?
The SEC has emerged as one of the most active federal agencies on climate-related financial matters. This year it created an ESG-focused division task force, added a new leadership position within the agency on climate and ESG, and mobilized its corporate finance division on climate disclosures.
In response to the notion that environmental issues aren't really the SEC's business because they don't really affect corporate bottom lines, the Commission's former acting director for corporate finance John Coates drew a parallel between asbestos and climate. "For years, asbestos-related risks were invisible, and information about asbestos would likely have been called 'nonfinancial,'" Coates said in a March speech. "Over time, those risks went from invisible to visible to extremely clear, and clearly financial."
And there's growing demand for that information on climate risks from investors as well, the SEC has indicated.
"So why am I talking about climate risk? Simple: because investors are," SEC chief Gary Gensler said in a July 28 speech, adding that out of 550 unique comment letters the agency received on the issue, three out of four supported mandatory climate disclosures.
Lobbying on ESG has been sharply rising this year, RollCall reported in October, roughly doubling from the first quarter of 2021 to the third quarter.
The Chamber isn't the only organization mobilizing against the growth of ESG, business news site FastCompany reported earlier this month. Opponents like the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation, the Society for Human Resources Management, which has opposed labor organizing, and conservative activist Edward Blum have focused less on environmental issues and more on the ways that ESG investment approaches topics like gender and race.
But the Chamber of Commerce has been particularly active, InfluenceMap found, citing three letters to the U.S. House of Representatives on mandatory ESG disclosures, at least two meetings between the SEC and the Chamber this year, and language in the Chamber's public comments that might hint at potential legal challenges once rules are officially proposed.
"The Chamber further state they will consider including votes on this in their 'How They Voted' scorecard, which the Chamber uses to rank members of Congress on their votes on 'Chamber designated key votes,'" InfluenceMap wrote.
But it's far from clear that the Chamber's own membership is actually aligned with any lobbying that opposes consistent ESG standards or climate reporting, InfluenceMap wrote, citing as an example a 2021 letter to shareholders from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink. "A consistent set of reporting standards," Fink wrote, "will promote access to consistent, high quality and material public information that will enable both asset owners and asset managers to make more informed decisions about how to achieve durable long-term returns."
As of press time, the Chamber of Commerce had not replied to an email from DeSmog seeking comment on InfluenceMap's report.
The Chamber currently faces a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which in November demanded documents from the Chamber, American Petroleum Institute, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP, and Shell related to allegations the organizations deliberately misled the public over the risks of climate change.
The financial sector has found it increasingly difficult to ignore the ways that climate change affects not only people and communities, but also businesses small and large. "A warming planet creates a wide range of risks for businesses, from disrupted supply chains to rising insurance costs to labor challenges," Forbes reported earlier this year. "Climate change and extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods and fires, for example, have a direct impact on 70% of all economic sectors worldwide" and are already impacting one in four businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations, according to accounting firm Deloitte.
This summer, a student-led campaign called Change the Chamber called on corporations to drop their membership in the Chamber of Commerce over its climate stances.
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce — the largest dark money, pro-fossil fuel trade association in the country — has an extensive history of problematic behavior, including lobbying against climate legislation, supporting climate deniers, backing the fossil fuel industry, and spreading misinformation about climate change," activist Nina Jacobs said as that campaign was announced. "We are calling on companies who claim to care about the future of our climate to break with the Chamber's climate obstruction and push for climate policies in Congress at the scale that science demands."

We studied multiples, his "factory" work, and even appropriation.
A big part of this lesson was asking and answering questions like "What do you notice?" and of course "How are they the same, and how are they different?"

"occupying modernism" –
exhibition, kopi manyar,
25 october to 15 november 2019
For the SEAM Space Jakarta, curators Avianti Armand and Setiadi Sopandi teamed up with Rifandi S. Nugroho to create the exhibition Occupying Modernism: Impressions on Indonesian Modernist Spaces.
The curators Avianti Armand and Setiadi Sopandi have made fundamental contributions to the perception of both historical modern architecture and contemporary architecture beyond Indonesia's borders with their exhibition Tropicality Revisited, which was shown at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, among other places, and with their contributions to the Venice Architecture Biennale. For Encounters with Southeast Asian Modernism they teamed up with Rifandi S. Nugroho, curator and editor of arsitekturindonesia.org, to create the exhibition Occupying Modernism. Their curatorial approach was to invite people from the fields of art, literature, and design to explore modernist buildings in Jakarta, comment on them artistically, and reinterpret them from a sociopolitical perspective.
For these contributions they were able to win four outstanding personalities. Goenawan Mohamad became one of Indonesia's most important intellectuals with the founding of Tempo magazine. His work combines journalism, poetry, visual arts, and political activism. Hikmat Darmawan researches and works in the fields of comics, film, and pop culture. Cecil Mariani is an artist, designer, and cultural activist who deals, among other things, with collective forms of design practice and develops alternative economic models. Alvin Tjitrowirjo's work as a furniture designer focuses on research into handmade materials and local design knowledge.
In the exhibition, historical floor plans, drawings, and photographs were juxtaposed with the highly sensual, critical, and humorous perspectives of the contributors on the selected buildings Istiqlal Mosque, National Monument, Silaban's Residence, Gelora Bung Karno, Gedung Pola, Hotel Indonesia Roundabout, Adhi Moersid's Residence, and Studio Cahaya.
The curatorial approach of Occupying Modernism, which examines the possibilities of appropriating modernist architecture in the local context, is reflected both in the exhibition's location and design. Kopi Manyar – a café, co-working space, and gallery – was designed by Andra Matin, one of Indonesia's most relevant contemporary architects. His architectures reflect the structural principles of modernism, which he intertwines with local specifics to develop a radical, brutalist, and tropical design approach. Kopi Manyar, for example, has a minimalist design that unfolds into a complete architectural ensemble in various open and semi-open individual rooms.
The exhibition Occupying Modernism counteracts the precise design of the space. The exhibits are deliberately arranged as a temporary intervention on the site. Beyond the main room, the exhibition meanders into other areas of Kopi Manyar. Occupying Modernism and contributions from the other locations of Encounters with Southeast Asian Modernism, but also printed stickers with the exhibition title and provocative comments, as well as blue monoblock stools – as typical seating furniture for informal places – are placed throughout the minimalist building complex. The principle here is that visitors to the exhibition increasingly occupy and appropriate the entire area of Kopi Manyar, which has already left various traces only a few days after the opening of the exhibition.
But not only is the design of the exhibition quite unique, as Avianti Armand points out: the experimental and thoughtful character of the project goes beyond the way architecture exhibitions have been presented in Indonesia so far. While their presentations are usually very formal, the approach of Occupying Modernism might inspire a new generation of curators to develop projects that may more freely relate architectural themes to other societal issues.

Edge Hill University is a campus-based public university in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England, which opened in 1885 as Edge Hill College, the first non-denominational teacher training college for women in England, before admitting its first male students in 1959. In 2005, Edge Hill was granted Taught Degree Awarding Powers by the Privy Council and became Edge Hill University on 18 May 2006.

The University has three faculties: Arts and Sciences, Education, and Health and Social Care; these teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

History
Edge Hill College opened on 24 January 1885 on Durning Road, Edge Hill, Liverpool, by a group of seven Liverpool businessmen and philanthropists. It was named after the district in which it was sited, It was the first non-denominational teacher training college for women in England. By 1892, Edge Hill was one of only two colleges in England combining teacher training and degree course study. As student numbers increased, Edge Hill quickly outgrew its surroundings. The institution was handed over to the Lancashire Education Committee, with the foundation stone for the present Ormskirk campus laid on 26 October 1931 by J.T. Travis-Clegg, Chairman of Lancashire County Council. The main buildings comprised a main education block, four halls of residence (named Stanley, Clough, Lady Margaret and John Dalton), an Assembly Hall, a library, craft room, gymnasium, lecture theatres, classrooms and a music room.

Between 1939 and 1946, the college was evacuated to Bingley in Yorkshire, and the Ormskirk site was requisitioned for use by the military.

The Durning Road premises were destroyed in a bombing raid on 17 November 1940, during the Liverpool Blitz, which killed 166 people.

Edge Hill became a mixed college, admitting its first male students in October 1959, when it had about 500 students in total. In 1963 the university recorded having 660 students and 59 members of staff.

The institution has since expanded further, with further developments at Ormskirk and the absorption of the former Sefton School of Health Studies.

In 2005, Edge Hill was granted Taught Degree Awarding Powers by the Privy Council. On 18 May 2006 the institution became Edge Hill University and in August 2008 the university was granted the power to award research degrees.

Campus
Edge Hill University is based on a  campus in Ormskirk, the administrative centre of West Lancashire. It is midway between Liverpool and the county town of Preston.

The University used to operate from the Woodlands campus based in Chorley, central Lancashire where it offered continuing professional development programmes and part-time study. However, in recent years operations have been centralised back to the main University campus.

Most of the University's subjects and departments are based in specialist buildings developed since the 1990s: Faculty of Education, Faculty of Health and Social Care, Business School, BioSciences, GeoSciences, Creative Edge (Media and Social Sciences), Performing Arts, the Wilson Centre (Sport and Physical Activity) and Psychology. The Tech Hub was opened in 2016 by entrepreneur Sir Robin Saxby.

The university also operates a campus in Manchester City centre in the St. James Buildings, Manchester mainly for medical science courses.

The Student Hub

This building opened in 2011 as a central student area, containing retail and catering outlets and IT facilities, as well as providing new accommodation for the Edge Hill Students' Union. The building was formally opened by Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex on 15 October 2012.

Sports Centre
The current indoor and outdoor sports complex was opened in 2015 by Olympic heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

Arts Centre
The Arts Centre houses the University's Performing Arts Department and the Rose and Studio Theatres. The Arts Centre was officially opened by British screenwriter and writer of the London 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony Frank Cottrell Boyce who is an Honorary Doctor of Literature at the University. The Arts Centre includes a 234-seat professional theatre (The Rose Theatre) and a 140-seat Studio Theatre.

Catalyst
Catalyst serves as the Students' library on the Ormskirk campus, as well as the student services and information centre. The original library, which opened in the 1990s, was replaced with a new purpose-built multi-storey building, located on the old running track, adjacent to the Wilson Centre, and equidistant between the Student Hub and Creative Edge Buildings, as part of a £36 million development. The £26 million building houses a study space that is 8,000 square metres, which is 50% larger than the old Library building. The development began in December 2016, when the old racing track was dug up. Catalyst opened on 9 July 2018.

Halls of Residence
The original Halls of Residence were 'named Stanley, Clough, Lady Margaret and John Dalton "in honour" of the Derby Family' and "of three individuals famous in the history of Lancashire and of Education" (Anne Jemima Clough was a pioneer of higher education for women, having founded Newnham College, Cambridge)'

Five Halls, opened in 1963 by Princess Margaret, are named after Lady Openshaw, Katherine Fletcher (Chairs of Governors), EM Butterworth, Margaret Bain (Principals) and Eleanor Rathbone, a noted social reformer. Lancashire Hall was demolished in 1999 to make way for the Wilson Centre (Edge Hill Sport), but was originally built to house male students. Forest Court (Ash, Beech, Cedar, Elm, Holly, Larch, Maple, Oak, Rowan and Willow) added 300 bedrooms in the early 1990s.

More recent Halls include Founders Court, named after the institution's founders Crosfield (William Crosfield); McDairmid (S. McDairmid); Matheson (Thomas Matheson); Smith (Samuel Smith (1836–1906)), Balfour (Alexander Balfour); Sinclair (WP Sinclair); and Sarah Yelf (the first Principal); and Graduates Court, named after alumni: Ainsworth (Joe Ainsworth), Annakin (Ethel Annakin), Maconie (Stuart Maconie), Normanton (Helena Normanton) and Pryce (Jonathan Pryce).

In 2012 Chancellors Court was opened, adding Halls named after individuals associated with the institution including Chairs of the Board of Governors: Blake, Booth, Bradshaw, Fulton, Millner, Pinfold, Tomkins, and Wilson as well as Byron (Tanya Byron, the first Chancellor of the University), and Williams (politician Shirley Williams). Additional Halls added in 2013 are, in Chancellors Court: Binns (Sir Arthur Lennon Binns), Boyce (J.S.B Boyce), Lord (Sir Percy Lord), and Meadon (Sir Percival Edward Meadon); and in Founders Court: Dewhurst (M. K. Dewhurst), Fenemore (Mildred Fenemore), Feuchsel (Harriet D Feuchsel) and Holt (George Holt (merchant)).

Chancellors South, an additional 246 accommodation units to complete the Chancellors Court blocks on the Eastern side of the campus, was completed in summer 2014. The Halls are named after individuals associated with the institution including Laverty (Bernard Laverty, Pro-Chancellor and chair of the Edge Hill University Board of Governors since 2014, Chartered Accountant and Director of Lancashire textile company David Whitehead & Sons Limited), Jenkins (Miss JA Jenkins, Vice-Principal of Edge Hill from 1906 and Acting Principal from 1909–10), Millins (Mr PKC 'Ken' Millins was the first male Principal of Edge Hill, leading the institution between 1964 and 1979 and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in 2010), Aitken (Sir James Aitken served on the Education Committee of Lancashire County Council from 1921 to 1948, and was chair of the Council from 1946 to 1948) and Welch (John Welch was chair of the Education Committee of Lancashire County Council between 1955 and 1958).

Palatine Court Halls are named after prominent individuals associated with the historic Lancashire County Palatine: Carrington (artist Leonora Carrington), Glazebrook (physicist Richard Glazebrook), Pankhurst (campaigner for women's suffrage Emmeline Pankhurst), Roscoe (abolitionist and historian William Roscoe), Lowry (artist L. S. Lowry), Peel (Prime Minister and architect of the modern police force Robert Peel) and Wilkinson (politician, sometime Minister for Education Ellen Wilkinson).

The university's origins are represented by the three red roses of Lancashire in the shield and by the Liver bird in the crest, which refers to its original location in Liverpool. The coat of arms contains a sun, a quill, peacock feathers and a lion. The University's motto – "In Scientia Opportunitas" – translates as "In knowledge there is opportunity".

The Mace

The Mace is the symbol of the University's authority to award degrees. Edge Hill University commissioned its mace in 2007, from silversmith Clive Burr. Inspired by the University Coat of Arms and the campus architecture, the mace took six months to produce and is crafted from sterling silver. At the head is an 18-carat yellow gold dome enamelled by Jane Short, with a hand-engraved inscription of the University motto running around the silver edge. The main body has a hand-engraved decoration running around it, the design inspired by the acanthus leaves and stone columns of the entrance to the original University building.

We begin the issue with a bit of a curve ball as we flash back to the day that Zordon was told he was dying, and that the assassin's toxin had not been completely removed from his system. But just as Zordon learns he only has five years until he dies, Billy arrives. See, unlike every other issue of Mighty Morphin to this point, we didn't actually have our usual flashback, as noted by the lack of a "10,000 Years Ago" caption. Instead, we are actually in a bit of a flash forward (which will be set up in a bit), in which Billy and the Blue Emissary (what?!) are in the fractured memories of Zordon. But he is scared and confused, and before they can calm him down, he essentially teleports away.
Back in the present, Jason and Kim are in Safehaven, having successfully escaped all of the destruction last issue. Kim wants to go back because she feels guilty for running, but Jason does not want to go in half-cocked on what would essentially be a suicide run. He eventually convinces her to stay, but she notes that he's starting to sound like Zordon, and warns him to not make Zordon's mistake of not listening to the others.
Inside, Billy, Trini, and Alpha are still trying to wake up Zordon, but it isn't working for some reason. They are interrupted by Arkon and Yale, who wish for them to follow if they want Zordon to return. They venture out to the remains of the Blue Emissary, and with Trini's help, implore Billy to try to contact the Emissary. Even though the Blue Emissary was destroyed, Yale is proof that it wasn't destroyed completely. So, similar to Trini contacting the Yellow Emissary, Billy hits the Emissary's remains with his morpher while shouting "Triceratops," which sends both he and Yale into some sort of time void, where they meet the Blue Emissary. After explaining how it's still alive (the Emissaries existed beyond physical forms, and it's heart still echoes throughout time and space, although it is fading), it tells them that Zordon is hiding amongst his memories, and they need to find him before the echoes completely fade. This ends up leading them to the scene from earlier in the issue.
In Angel Grove, thanks to their proximity to the battle, Bulk and Skull get an exclusive interview with Zartus, who explains that they will take over the planet and impose their will, and anyone who wishes to oppose them will not succeed. Meanwhile, on the site that was once Promethea, the SFF search the wreckage for the Rangers. Although they detect no morphin energy, they will continue until their bodies are found. Fortunately, Aisha had Tommy, Zack, and Matt all demorph so that they couldn't be detected. Tommy and Matt have a little fight because Matt wants to call in Dragonzord to find Grace, and Tommy correctly thinks that calling in the zords is a bad idea at the moment. After Aisha breaks them up, Zack talks to Tommy, pointing out that Kim is still his girlfriend and that he needs to put an end to his beef with Matt, as they are going to need to work together on this.
Back in Safehaven, Rocky talks to Goldar, wondering how the alien warrior seems to be so superior, and yet can never deliver the killing blow, and asking if it has something to do with Lord Zedd getting the credit rather than him. Meanwhile, Squatt, Baboo, and Finster realize that they are no longer obligated to fight the Rangers. They fought for Rita because she saved them. They fought for Zedd because he scared them. Now, they can make their own decision: do they fight the Rangers, or do they help them?
Elsewhere, a young Zordon is taking a break from the Harvest to enjoy an evot. Billy shows up again, but when Zordon tries to return to his work, Billy reminds him that the Power Rangers need him. This brings him back and he basically explains that he has failed everyone, and his decisions and guidance have lead them to the brink of destruction. But, Billy reminds him that Zordon himself once said that failure is a choice that only begins when you stop trying. With that, Zordon is ready to return, although he's not sure he'll be much help with the Command Center destroyed. Fortunately, Billy has a solution to that problem.
Back in Savehaven, Jason, Adam, Rocky, and Kim sit down with Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and Finster. The former villains want to help, even Goldar if it means he can make a name for himself. Accepting their help, Jason points out that they are still short-handed and feels that they should prepare for when the Empyreals attack Safehaven, but after his talk with Kim, he is willing to listen to suggestions. The non-Rangers suggest attacking now while Zartus is feeling overconfident, which, as Baboo points out, is how they've defeated Zedd in the past. While the other Rangers are surprised by Baboo's intelligence, Jason says that they'll be going in blind and need something that will tip the scales in their favor, at which point Zordon arrives in an armor suit (think Iron Man), that includes his head in a tube.
Story – 4 out of 5: I'm not knocking a point because the story has troubles per say, but the storytelling is a bit of an issue here. I understand Ryan Parrott wanting to start the issue the way he did to throw off the reader a bit, but to make it a flash forward really is confusing. It's confusing in the single issues, and I'm sure it will be confusing in the collections as well. Also, how did Zordon know that the Command Center was destroyed? It was still standing when he was blasted by Zartus, and we learn in this issue that he'd been hiding in his memories, so he wouldn't have any knowledge of this.
Art – 5 out of 5: The art here is fantastic! Right down to the obvious art change on Zordon when he "ages up" from harvester to wise sage. It isn't just his eyes reverting to their normal blankness, but his face and body changes as well. The covers are also very well done, although I am annoyed that the main cover is practically the last page, spoiling the main plot of the issue. I would think this would be better as the cover for Power Rangers 14 than here.
Overall – 4 out of 5: The art and story are fantastic. It's just that flash forward disguised as a flashback that knocks it down a point. Great 3rd chapter!

As the laws of physics suggest, you'll see things before you hear them. That's no different when it comes to listening to an album or song. As more often than not, before you press play, the first thing that will catch your attention is the accompanying cover art.
During the evening we'll explore the relationship between music and design, detailing its importance in heightening the listener's experience. How are designers influenced by music in their work and the other way around? How has artwork changed and will continue to change in the digital age?
Together with Stefan Marx, renowned artist, Marvin & Valentino from Public Possession, local music producers/DJ Duo/designers, and Polina "Polly" Lapkovskaja, creative musician, we'll explore this topic from three different perspectives. By looking at their work we'll dive deep into the inspiring connection of music and art, permeated by emotions, meaning and beauty, fully supported by the Sonos Home Sound System.
Accompanying the discussion Stefan Marx and Public Possession will exhibit some of their finest work in the halls of the Lovelace Hotel.

David E. Place
David E. Place, age 91, of Milton, MA, died peacefully at home on August 23, 2012. Brimming with passion for life's adventures, a pragmatic business acumen, and commitment to service, Place declared, "I've never been bored a day in my life!" Congenitally optimistic, Place rode the high seas of life, literally and figuratively. At age 17, he and two friends purchased Seaboots, a vessel that was, at the time, underwater; for the cost of six wooden barrels, they resurrected the sailboat by lashing ropes to its rails at low tide and raising the ship as the tide came in. Until age 80, he intrepidly sailed his ketch, Arabella, Down East and beyond to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. He reveled in the magnificence of the Maine woods and skied the winter slopes of New Hampshire. The Place dinner table was always set for drop-in guests who didn't mind dogs and boisterous chaos. Place attended Milton Academy (Class of '39) and Harvard College (Class of '43). At Harvard, he managed the Harvard football team, campaigned for Wendell Willkie for President, and joined the Navy ROTC; upon graduation, fellow students voted him their permanent Class Secretary. When a broken leg disqualified Place from Navy assignment, he took a Third Mate license and piloted U.S. hospital ships in the Mediterranean and Atlantic. Following the war, Place returned to Harvard Law School (Class of '48) and then joined the law firm of Ely, Bradford, Thompson, and Brown. From 1953-55, he was appointed Assistant U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts and then Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney. In over five decades of legal work with Gaston Snow & Ely Bartlett, as Managing Partner for 15 years, and subsequently Choate Hall & Stewart from 1991, Place "never turned down a request for assistance," writing client wills and trusts, advising new and venerable business ventures as legal counsel and trustee (The Forté Dupree Company, Greylock Management Corp, McCrillis Land Association among many), as well as springing wayward kids out of jail. His late friend, Robert Sceery of Cohasset, gave his own children one piece of advice: If you are ever in trouble, remember just one number: "1943" — Place's Harvard class year and telephone number. Place was known for his philanthropy, setting a personal example and urging of wealthy clients to share their good fortune with good causes. Active in politics, Place worked on both sides of the aisle, with U.S. Presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George W Bush and Massachusetts Governors Endicott Peabody, William Weld, and Deval Patrick. He consistently advocated a progressive social agenda in his political life. When not steering a sailboat, Place served at the helm of innumerable public and non-profit enterprises. Among his most personally meaningful public assignments: Cohasset Town Moderator (1969-1980), General Counsel to the U. S. Department of the Air Force (1981-1984), Deputy Commissioner to the U. S. Arms Control Standing Consultative Commission (1984-1986), and Chairman of the Massachusetts Judicial Nominating Council (1991- 1996). He served on diverse Boards of Directors and Corporations, such as the Jackson Laboratory, New England Deaconess Hospital, Mass General Hospital, Boston YMCA, International Institute of Boston, Dana Hall School, Boston Public Library, McCrillis Land Association, and the Massachusetts Trustees of Reservations. Place's embrace of life and genuine interest in everyone he met won him a lifetime of endearing friendships. Above all, his life exemplified values he instilled in those around him: loyalty, integrity, active citizenship, gratitude, and service to others. Ken Paigen, geneticist and former Director of the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, wrote the following tribute when Place stepped down from the Board after 30 years: "To David: friend, advisor, legal sage, and source of worldly wisdom; even more an unfailing source of support and encouragement…" David Place is survived by his wife, Susanna Badgley Place, of Milton, MA, and their children, Louise and Alexander Place; his former wife, Penelope G. Place, of Cohasset, MA, and their children, D. Elliott Place, Richard Place, Penelope Gleason, and Josiah Place, and four grandchildren, Nathan Place, Rachel Place, Isaac Place, and Mark Place; as well as his brother, H. Calvin Place, of Wellesley, MA. A celebration of David's life will be held on September 8th at 2 pm, at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 112 Randolph Ave, Milton, MA; a reception will follow at his home at his home at 224 Adams Street, Milton. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in David Place's name to The Epiphany School in Dorchester, MA (http://epiphanyschool.com) or The Island Education Fund at the Island Institute in Rockland, Maine (http://www.islandinstitute.org).
I just heard of David's passing and extend my deepest thoughts to his family. I have been his neighbor since 1995 and always felt inspired when I was with him no matter what conidtion he was in. About seven months after my family and I moved to his street he walked into our backyard from his one day and invited us over for a get-together. I knew from that point he was wiser than the average individual. I additionally remember him coming to my house to lecture my parents through his expertise on law on how best to prepare and leave a will after death (even though my parents are much younger than him). When I was attending school out-of-state he was eager to see me again whenever I came home and would say "There is my friend from the deep south:". About the last eight years of his life have not been easy for him or his family and friends given his weakening conditions due to age but as with my grandmother who died in 2003 and anyone who suffers from serious mental conidtions I knew that underneath what was taking over his body that his spirit was just the same. He led an incredible life full of triumph, positive image, kindness, and thunder (comparing his soul to the forces of nature!) and is now happier than he ever was in his lifetime. Rest in Peace David, Prosper Up There and you'll always be a part of me, everyone universally and everything existence is defined as. Goodbye and God Bless

I extend my condolences and pray for comfort for you and your children. I worked briefly with David in the Pentagon and in Geneva where I quickly learned to respect and admire him. That was about the time you came into his life, and I have never seen a man so transformed with happiness.

Dear Susanna,
I just read this article and want to tell you how sorry I am. The last time we talked together was after 9/11, a long time ago! But I would like you to know that you, David, Louise and Alexander are always in my heart here in France. Let me here express my condolences to you and your children and share the pain of the loss of David. I pray for all of you.
Take care, my thoughts and prayers are very much with you.

It's been an annus horribilus for the cruise industry.
Highly publicised mechanical problems, an onboard fire, cancellations, deaths at sea and outbreaks of sickness have followed the Costa Concordia disaster to seriously mar the reputation of the otherwise booming industry.
Images of passengers living in filthy conditions and begging to be taken off a ship drifting at sea are not exactly the makings of travel wish-lists.
Nor are reports of passengers lying in corridors or being carried off ships because they're too sick to do anything else; it's a public relations nightmare.

'Anything is possible', we hear these words all the time from motivative speakers, we read these words in books and we hear it on social media, it is made to sound so easy, 'you can do anything you put your mind to', we hear that one as well.
The simple fact is, these statements are very true. Our ego is our biggest obstacle, it will take a big bite out of anything that you set your sights on, the ego is the opposite of courage. Our ego exists only in the negative energy of fear, nothing else.
When you are ready to start something new, which was a challenge to begin with, having to find the courage to move outside of your comfort zone was not an easy task and a difficult one to overcome. But you did it, only to confront your ego the first day of your new adventure.
Your nerves ended up taking away the glory of your triumph, and you questioned yourself for whole of the day. Maybe you didn't even get to the start gate of your recent resolution, your egos sabotage was more than you could handle, and so your mind that was made up, has changed direction.
Each of us has something that we would secretly love to do. Maybe you have told the world about it at some point or another, if you are an open person and like to share, but there will be others of you that haven't told a sole, your secret wish is tightly tucked away in a safe and secure place deep inside.
Either way, the wish is that someday you fulfill your secret desire and live happily ever after. The fantasy of our deep inner yearnings is no fable story, lets keep it simple and say 'dreams do come true', this is indeed a fact.
The key to remember and this will be your most treasured tool in succeeding towards your new commitment, is recognize when your ego is ready to pounce and take a bite. Shut the negative chatter down and bring your focus back to positive thoughts of courage, faith and trust.
Don't bail on that tiny little seed you planted so long ago, when the time comes and you take a leap of faith, it simply means your tiny seed is ready to grow and ready to step into the world in a different, new and exciting way.

Waldo Lake is definitely one of Oregon's purest jewels. At 5,414 feet, 58 miles southeast of Eugene, OR., Waldo Lake provides a relaxing atmosphere, exciting wilderness hikes and the opportunity to engage in non-motorized watersports.
In the summer of 1996 a forest fire burnt over 10,000 acres of the forest surrounding the northern shore of Waldo Lake and the nearby Rigdon Butte Lakes.
Waldo Lake is the head of the historic Willamette River. Oregon's second largest lake, it is upstaged only by Klamath Lake in the south. At 420 feet, Waldo Lake is also Oregon's second deepest lake, fish can be seen swimming through clear, pure water 100 feet below the lakes surface. Only Crater Lake can compete with Waldo Lake's depth.
The lake is popular with sailors who bring their sailboats and catamarans. All three campgrounds have boat ramps. At the North Waldo Lake campground we observed slips for boats and little alcoves which were made near the campsites in which canoes and kayaks are kept.
Although motorized boats are still allowed on the lake, speed must be kept below 10 miles per hour. We support the proposed plans to prohibit all non-emergency motorized traffic on the lake. This lake is considered one of the worlds most pure and natural water sources, and should be preserved.
Evenings, be it clear or partially cloudy, will provide you with some most spectacular sunsets looking west across the lake.
Take Oregon State Highway 58 east from Eugene.
You will pass through the town of Oakridge (if you don't have your forest passes, stop at the ranger station here).
Turn left (north) at the well marked exit to Waldo Lake.
The road is very well maintained, watch for rocks in the road near cuts.

Death To The NCAA
Report: Maryland Hit With Two Subpoenas Over FBI Investigation Into College Basketball
Photo: Young Kwak (AP Photo)
Maryland has responded to a pair of subpoenas issued by a New York grand jury in relation to the FBI's ongoing investigation of college basketball recruiting. The Terrapins announced the information to the Associated Press and Yahoo Sports, among other media outlets, on Friday, offering the following statement:
"On March 15, 2018, and June 29, 2018, the University received grand jury subpoenas for documents related to the ongoing federal investigation of college basketball. The University complied with the subpoenas by providing responsive records. None of the responsive records shows evidence of any violations of applicable laws or NCAA bylaws by University coaches, staff or players. The University has cooperated and will continue to cooperate fully with the ongoing federal investigation."
The initial subpoena sought records regarding assistant coach Orlando Ranson and an unnamed player, with a focus on any ties to Christian Dawkins. A former sports agent runner, Dawkins was reportedly one of the many folks tasked with playing middle man between schools and the shoe companies for cash payments made to recruits. The second subpoena called for Maryland officials to appear in court on July 3.
Maryland was first brought into the fold back in February, when former Terrapin center Diamond Stone was named in a dumb Yahoo report about the FBI investigation. Head coach Mark Turgeon denied having any sort of relationship with Andy Miller, a sports agent that the FBI leaned on for damning financial records.
By February, Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson was nearing the end of his six-month "professional development sabbatical." The move was first announced on Oct. 16, 2017, just three weeks after the FBI announced its investigation. Come April 13, three days before his sabbatical was supposed to end, Anderson offered his resignation. While the school had convened a search committee to land Anderson's replacement, the Terrapins didn't have anyone lined up in April. To appease restless fans and boosters, they slapped an interim tag on former Georgia athletic director Damon Evans, which was removed in late June when the Terrapins hired Evans for good.
(Evans, if you recall, was fired in 2010 when he was pulled over for drunk driving while in a car with a woman who was not his wife. "I am not trying to bribe you," Evans told officers, "but I am the athletic director of the University of Georgia.")
As was the case with N.C. State, if Maryland was indeed shelling out cash to recruits, it hasn't paid off on the court. Turgeon's squad struggled this past season, missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in three years with a 19-13 record; last year, they were bumped in the first round.

Lovely, dignified and regal Crown Princess Mary Denmark!
This is how a very classy, appropriate and respectable way as royal one should wear lace.
I am agree with you, Mary is very beautiful.
Mary wears the outfit better than the model in my humble opinion!
Mary looks great. She is one of those FEW royals who only gets better with age (along with Maxima and Sophie). It really amazes me how youthful she looks. She is very pretty.
Mary la bosseuse, toujours souriante, toujours impeccable en toute occasion.

Earlier last month, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had registered an FIR to look into alleged irregularities in the upper subordinate examination conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) in 2015. CBI had received a recommendation from the state government to investigate into the examination which had several allegations leveled- flouting of rules, favouritism and preferential treatment to some castes among others.

Open Classical Artist Series is pleased to present a breath-taking virtuoso Russian Violin and Piano duo overflowing with passionate musicality.
Violinist Dina Nesterenko posseses an astounding virtuosity and beauty of tone that captivates all who hear her. She grew up in Siberia, Russia and burst on the international scene as a semi-finalist in the renown Tchaikovsky Violin Competition as its youngest participant in 1998. She then emigrated to the US, earning bachelor and master's degrees from Juilliard, and a doctorate from Stonybrook University. Her passion is creating her own unique virtuoso arrangements of famous classical works for solo violin, such as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the Moonlight Sonata.
Pianist Misha Berestnev has been described as having "...flawless technique and constant inspiration..." (Belgian La Libre Magazine) and "... an astonishingly gifted pianist...equally at home as a soloist and chamber musician" (Theater Jones, U.S.). He has been featured as a soloist with the Sydney Symphony, Brazilian Symphony, Royal Chamber Orchestra of Wallonia, Fort Worth Symphony, and San Angelo Symphony, among others. Since making his home in North Texas, he has become a frequent recital collaborator with many of the Dallas Symphony principal musicians.

Texas AG Arrested for 3 Felony Charges
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the state's top law enforcement officer, turned himself into jail Monday to be booked on felony securities fraud charges.
by The Texas Tribune | August 3, 2015 AT 6:30 PM
By Patrick Svitek
Judge Refuses to Dismiss Criminal Charges Against Texas AG Under Indictment, Texas AG Recuses Himself From Some Duties Texas AG Paxton Pleads Not Guilty, Loses His Lawyer Pennsylvania Supreme Court Releases Porn Emails in AG Case Pennsylvania AG Refuses to Resign and Blames Her Legal Troubles on Porn
Wearing a pin-striped suit and a red tie, he smiled slightly for his mugshot. Then, he was promptly released from the Collin County Jail on $35,000 bond, according to records with the local sheriff's office. Afterward, he apparently slipped out of the courthouse undetected, avoiding the throng of waiting media and Democratic protesters.
Within minutes, Democrats and liberal groups began calling for his resignation. An indictment is not a finding of guilt, however, and Paxton has no obligation to step down. On Monday afternoon, Paxton's lawyer released a statement saying that he would plead not guilty and seek a trial by jury.
"He is looking forward to the opportunity to tell his side of the story" in court, said attorney Joe Kendall. "In the meantime, the Attorney General is returning to Austin to focus on his work on behalf of the citizens of Texas."
Paxton faces three counts: two for securities fraud, and another for acting as an investment advisor or representative without registering.
The indictments were unsealed Monday. They allege that Paxton offered to sell two people more than $100,000 worth of stock in a McKinney technology company, but didn't disclose that the company was compensating him.
Paxton also didn't make clear that he hadn't personally invested in the company, the indictments allege. He received 100,000 shares, but that was in the form of compensation, according to the indictment.
One of the alleged victims in the case is listed as state Rep. Byron Cook, R-Corsicana. The other is identified as Joel Hochberg.
The indictment comes as Servergy is in its own legal trouble. Federal investigators are looking into whether it defrauded investors with false claims about the sales of its data servers and their technological capabilities, according to court filings.
The Texas GOP quickly jumped to Paxton's defense. The statewide party released a statement minutes after his booking that criticized the "sloppy process" that led to the charges.
"Ken Paxton, like all Americans, deserves to have his say in a court of law, rather than be judged in a court of public opinion that is presided over by liberal interest groups," said Aaron Whitehead, the party's spokesman.
But Democrats and liberal groups immediately called for his resignation.
"Ken Paxton has abused people's faith in his public office," said Craig McDonald, executive director of Texans for Public Justice, which filed a criminal complaint related to Paxton's case. "He has engaged in outright deception to personally profit at others' expense. These qualities make him dangerously unfit to be attorney general."
Much of Paxton's case has played out in public since even before he was elected in 2014. The State Securities Board first investigated him while he was a member of the Texas Senate. The board reprimanded and fined him $1,000 last year after he admitted to soliciting investment clients for a friend and business partner without properly registering with the state.
The case lay dormant for months – aside from efforts by election opponents to use it against him. Then, around the turn of the year, the public integrity unit in the Travis County district attorney's office briefly investigated — and then decided that it didn't have jurisdiction to file charges. The case moved to Collin County, where the district attorney assigned two special prosecutors from Houston to take charge.
Anthony Holm, a Paxton spokesman, has harshly criticized the work of those two prosecutors, Kent Schaffer and Brian Wice. News has regularly leaked out about their investigation, and Holm has accused them of being politically motivated publicity hounds.
Some conservatives have compared the case to other indictments of Texas Republican leaders, including former Gov. Rick Perry and former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
The special prosecutors have denied any political motives, nothing that they were appointed by a Republican judge from one of the most conservative areas in the state. Wice, in fact, worked as a defense attorney for DeLay during his criminal case.
