When I was younger I liked to write and blog about controversial topics–politics, philosophy, religion.
As you might imagine, I would naturally get into a lot of debates and arguments with other bloggers who had opposing views.
I always thought if I could just get my argument right, if I could just bring enough evidence and clear articulation to the table, the other person would see the light.
Focus on the facts of the case, and the other side will see the error of their ways.
And yet, time after time, my strategy failed.
Not only was I rarely convincing anyone, but the dialogues often went off on tangents and random topics barely related to the original issue.
Now we had even more stuff to disagree about.
I was making a classic mistake: I was focusing too much on information and hard data without addressing the root emotional causes of the other person's beliefs.
Too much information with no emotion leads to disaster in any dialogue.
This is one of the most common challenges I have observed with speakers. People who are uninspired, boring or rambling when they speak are usually focused too much on informational communication.
They fail to persuade or inspire others because they don't speak to their feelings, hopes, dreams and fears.
Information, facts, figures, and data are important and valuable. There is a time and a place for them.
But when it comes to moving people to action–whether in business, romance, politics, or any other sphere–emotions and feelings are so much more critical.
For someone like me, very analytical, technical and detail-oriented by nature, this was a hard thing to realize.
But once I understood the power of the "softer" stuff, it totally transformed my conversations and my impact on audiences.
If you find that people tend to be bored when you talk, that groups are looking down at their phones more often than they are looking at you, that customers or clients seem detached and disengaged from your presentation, too much information may be the problem.
Try injecting some more passion and enthusiasm into your conversations. Get vulnerable with your audiences, and watch them suddenly have a much greater appreciation for your message.


Arm Chair Critics do us more harm than good.
Ranting and raving at the unfairness of our current legislation on blogs, Facebook pages, forums, and at our clubs, may let off a little much needed steam, but it accomplishes nothing positive for the community as a whole, in fact it does us a lot of harm.
If the time and energy spent on gripping was spent on positive moving forward actions, we may not have the need to b**** and chew.
FACT: We are a misunderstood and misrepresented community.
Accept it and use your energy and frustration to change it.
Write to or better yet build a relationship with your MP. MPP/MLA and municipal leaders AND their support staff – take them out, show them what we do.
If you are not prepared to get out of your arm chair and do something positive – do the rest of us a favour and zip it – your anger and hot air only perpetuates the current public perception of us and you are doing more harm than good.

Cross-border eCommerce expert and co-founder of Easyship, which is building a platform that allows any eCommerce business to go global.
Decades ago, global brands were synonymous with big corporations. Today, this is not the case. In the digital age, it is possible for small brands to go global with low marketing budgets and limited product lines.
Technological advancements in sourcing, selling, fundraising, marketing and for starting up a business have helped level the playing field for small businesses.
The emergence of marketplaces that allow factories to directly sell to brand owners eliminated the sourcing middleman. In place of the middleman, these platforms offered validation through user-generated ratings. Additionally, quality control companies made QC factory audits available at a click of a button. This, combined with acceptance of the lean manufacturing model, resulted in shorter lead times, smaller minimum order quantities and higher quality standards.
China's manufacturing supply chain has also developed to where businesses can create unique products that can be assembled completely from pre-existing components or with faster turnaround times thanks to 3-D printers and robotic automation. Our clients often say that they chose to manufacture in China because the quality and lead time are unbeatable, especially with relatively small quantities.
With these advancements, overall initial investments can be lower, giving more brands the opportunity to allocate funds to marketing or manpower.
Once online selling became commonplace, everything went into overdrive. Online marketplaces have changed the retail landscape. These platforms allow anyone to capitalize on the global market by selling online.
Smart online sellers will optimize their product pages to ensure they are SEO friendly, upload appealing product photos and write product descriptions that will attract customers, inform them and gain their trust.
Crowdfunding platforms give brands the opportunity to go from zero to global by utilizing a combination of storytelling, word of mouth and the generosity of donors around the world.
My company has advised and fulfilled many successful crowdfunding campaigns for different businesses, and what they had in common was that they took their pre-launch very seriously. They focused on getting customers and investors interested beforehand by maintaining an official website, having active social media accounts and getting press coverage. Once these initial customers and investors are locked in, it's best to have them pledge support for the project immediately at launch. This makes a campaign trend faster at the start, causing the "herd mentality" to take place and attract even more supporters to the campaign. By following these steps and taking their pre-launch very seriously, I have seen businesses not only meet their goals but exceed them soon after launch. Raising more than their stated goal allowed them to get featured on the platform and gain even more traffic and interest.
Boosted by the success of crowdfunding platforms, I've seen brands embrace the DTC strategy, choosing not to open a brick-and-mortar shop and instead to be 100% online, selling directly to consumers rather than retailers.
In my company's experience helping successful DTC brands with e-fulfillment, I noticed that because they had limited products and niche customer bases, they had to start selling globally from day one if they wanted to scale. This means doing extremely targeted marketing to your audience around the world and allowing foreign customers to shop on your website with the same visibility on costs and delivery as your domestic customers.
Stop showing flat rates for international orders and instead, implement a dynamic checkout that allows overseas customers to see the best shipping rates based on their location. Offering shipping solutions with different delivery times also gives your customer more flexibility and builds trust in your brand.
Gone are the days when you needed a major marketing budget to advertise your brand on billboards, in magazines and on television in order to "make it." I've found that online marketing and social media are lucrative, giving small businesses access to precise targeting tools that can effectively attract and convert customers worldwide on a shoestring budget, if done right.
We've used Facebook's Lookalike Audience tool extensively to target users who Facebook deems to be similar to our best clients. This free tool allows us to make sure that we're not just targeting a huge audience, but rather the right audience.
For example, when launching in the U.S., we built a lookalike audience based on our best clients. Instead of targeting all e-commerce merchants in the U.S., we were able to reach merchants who had a much higher alignment with our core offering. Though you will still have to pay for Facebook ads, I've found that this approach gives better chances for conversions and return on investment.
Social media influencers are now powerful brand ambassadors; if your posts are visually appealing, good engagement and sales should follow. You can also find online communities with specific interests across different social platforms, which can make it easier to target engaged audiences for free.
In my opinion, setting up an online business doesn't require as much effort anymore. There are online platforms one can utilize to set up an online storefront in a few hours and immediately receive payments via online payment systems. Accounting software can help keep track of finances, and there are even resources available to help manage global logistics from shipping label creation to packaging tracking.
When setting up our headquarters in Hong Kong, it only took me and my co-founder five days to register our company and start accepting payments. All the tools we used to set up Hong Kong were applied to our overseas operations. In less than three years, we are now fully operational in five countries.
Modern selling tools are reshaping the way brands are born. They level the playing field, giving small businesses the opportunity to get their share of consumer spending. This also benefits the end consumer, as they now have access to more choices in the market.

Winn Solicitors has sponsored three local football teams to enable them to continue playing junior football in the region. The firm has provided funding to Heaton Hawks' under 12's boys team, Whitley Bay Boys Clubs' under 12's girls team and Ellington Juniors' under 9's team.
The money provided will go towards buying strips for the players and the general upkeep of the clubs themselves.
Heaton Hawks' Coach, Alan Toward, said: "The sponsorship Winn Solicitors have given Heaton Hawks is invaluable, as we would struggle to play junior football every week due to high running costs every season and the cost of football strips.
Heaton Hawks JFC are celebrating 20 years as a club this year. When the club first started it had one boys team with 15 players, the club now have over 35 teams from the age of under 7 to an adult team – including several girls' teams consisting of over 400 kids playing and training every week.
Clint Milnes, Coach at Whitley Bay Boys Club, said: "I am thrilled with the support Winns have shown us. Our under 12 girl's first team has just been set up, so the sponsorship from the company is playing a vital part in the establishment and development of the team at this stage.
Winns' support will go a long way to ensuring these kids can continue playing sports in our region. Without the backing of local businesses, these clubs would struggle to raise the funds needed to keep themselves kitted out and to be able to keep the teams competing.

Julie Okah-Donli: On War Path With Traffickers
Words By -Jemi Ekunkunbor
Julie Okah-Donli is a woman of parts; a lawyer, author and philanthropist. A member, Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administration of Nigeria; Chartered Arbitrators of Nigeria and Nigeria Institute of Management, she is a graduate of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
Julie Okah-Donli
After a work-life in both the public and private sectors, the Knight of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Anglican Church in Nigeria got appointed as the Director General, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). She brings to bear, her over 25 years post bar experience.
In the face of the ongoing violence against persons going on in and around the country, we spoke to the Founder of Julie Donli Kidney Foundation. This is what the beautiful native of Bayelsa State said:
Where were we with the fight against trafficking in persons before the pandemic?
Before the lockdown occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic, NAPTIP already had a work plan for the year strategically targeted at deepening the fight against human trafficking. Part of this strategy was to accelerate the establishment of State Task Forces against Human Trafficking in at least 16 states during 2020. We also planned to review some of our policy documents such as the National Policy on Protection and Assistance to Trafficked Persons and the National Referral Mechanism, to validate the Protocol for Identification, Safe Return and Rehabilitation of Trafficked Persons, and to develop a new National Action Plan on Human Trafficking.
We also planned to, more vigorously, investigate and prosecute cases of human trafficking and violence against persons, while continuing our robust public enlightenment campaigns on all fronts.
We had started making progress on all these issues before the Covid-19 lockdown.
Shortly before the lockdown, I was in Delta State on the first anniversary of the State Task Force, and we had an appraisal of the achievements of the Task Forces with His Excellency, Dr Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa. I also interacted with key stakeholders including the Dein of Agbor and the Asagba of Asaba. We had also conducted workshops for the review of the National Policy on Protection and Assistance to Trafficked Persons, but couldn't hold the validation workshop that was scheduled for first week of April. However, we will soon hold a virtual validation workshop so the work on that document can be concluded.
We had also scheduled a retreat for judges and judicial officers on human trafficking for late March but have now rescheduled it for September.
Between January and March, NAPTIP secured eight convictions, and the most cheering was the life sentence imposed on a man that raped a teenager that was in his care.
Before the lockdown, NAPTIP was already on the go because we had a full calendar for the year.
We are now reviewing our work plan to determine what we can realistically achieve, without losing focus of our strategic vision for the year.
How has the pandemic affected the war?
The pandemic did not have much impact on the war as the agency, being an essential one, was opened throughout the lockdown period. During the lockdown, cases were reported, victims rescued and suspects arrested. However, most people who would have reported cases did not do so as there was restriction on movement.
Now that most work and business transactions have moved online, do you think traffickers would also take their activities online?
In fact, some of the activities of traffickers were done online before the lockdown. With the recent development, traffickers would explore more opportunities online.
From your work, what are the common tricks used in recruiting persons, especially females?
They do this through control mechanisms such as swearing to an oath; deception such as promise of a job abroad; educational opportunities abroad; modelling opportunities; and football career opportunities.
What system failures help to aid recruitment of persons?
The widening gap between the rich and the poor is largely responsible. In fact, about 70% of Nigerians live below the poverty line. Lack of job opportunities, social security, inadequate infrastructure, inadequate housing and gender inequality have also contributed.
What is the punishment prescribed by law for traffickers and would you say it has helped check trafficking so far?
The law prescribed for traffickers as enshrined in the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015, include the following:
Any person who recruits, transports, transfers, harbours or receives any person by means of any control mechanism, is liable, on conviction, to imprisonment for a term of not less than 2 years and a fine of not less than N250,000.
Importation and exportation of persons/ procurement of persons for sexual exploitation attract a fine of not less than 5 years imprisonment.
Imprisonment for a term of not less than 7 years for any person who procures, or recruits any person under the age of 18 years/ foreign travel that promotes prostitution.
The Violence Against Persons Act (VAPP) Act also prescribes life imprisonment for rape.
Without any doubt, the punishment prescribed for traffickers in the Act is a deterrent against the commitment of human trafficking offences. However, the agency is embarking on more sensitisation in order to call the attention of the populace to the penalty for offenders.
During the lockdown, concerns were raised about women who were locked down with violent husbands. Did your office address such issues?
Yes. NAPTIP was inundated with heart-rending cases of spousal abuse, battery and rape. NAPTIP has had to rescue many battered children and victims of rape, incest and sodomy during this period. I have since been on social media to: create awareness where violence is endemic, enlighten the public and provide quality information and proper channels of reporting incidences of domestic violence, as well as create awareness about the sexual offenders' register which will serve as deterrence for potential offenders.
Women are never in a hurry to leave violent relationships because of children and sometimes, because of economic reasons. How would you advise them?
It is important that women protect themselves from violent partners, by exposing and reporting them immediately to relevant authorities before they are rendered paranoid or killed.
Are some of these men handled as mentally-ill or straight-up criminals?
Once a crime is committed, the suspect is arrested and investigated. However, some of the suspects' psychological/mental status may be tested if the gravity of offence is high.
In what ways are you collaborating with countries through which traffickers pass?
Human trafficking is principally a transnational organised crime; therefore fighting trafficking requires close collaborations among a broad spectrum of governmental, and nongovernmental agencies in the source, transit and destination countries.
NAPTIP engages with relevant countries in this chain at policy, tactical and operational levels.
At the policy level, we have entered into Memoranda of Understanding, Agreements, Treaties and Protocols. We're constantly negotiating and fine-tuning agreements and reviewing our relationships with many countries in Europe and transit countries like, Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger. At the tactical levels, we have technical meetings to evolve actionable plans and programmes to ensure effective responses to the threats posed by human trafficking.
At the operational level, our officers collaborate with their counterparts in those countries to carry out joint investigations, intelligence sharing and operations. Indeed NAPTIP officers have worked with law enforcement officers at some foreign airports in the UK, Spain and Austria. We have also been involved in multinational operations that have netted notorious traffickers in many countries in Africa and Europe
What are the challenges you face in the course of this work?
There are several; from inter-agency rivalry to paucity of fund, bureaucracy and the clandestine nature of the crime. This refers to the fact that most crimes associated with human trafficking take place behind closed doors, among people who are known to each other. Also, traffickers go to great lengths to ensure that their victims are under their psychological and physical control. Such victims never acknowledge their status and neither see their traffickers as their benefactors.
That is why the crime of trafficking is very difficult to investigate; same with sustaining cases of trafficking through the court process.
We hear of diabolical dimensions to which traffickers take their trade; for you in the battle front, do you have any reason to worry?
We took the war against traffickers to the Oba of Benin. The herbalists were summoned to the king's palace to desist from placing victims under oath, and break the ones they did.
To us, the diabolical dimension is a mere control mechanism used to enslave the victims. Nothing much to be worried about.
What advice do you have for youths?
I'll advise them to be diligent in their studies/engagements and follow life's process. They should also desist from get-rich-quick syndrome which could give them out to traffickers. Youths can definitely become whatever they want to become in life without travelling out of the country.
In what way has your work changed your perspective on life?
The desperation of traffickers to get rich at all cost at the expense of the vulnerable ones, has made me resolved to passionately protect the victims and go after the traffickers with everything within me.
When you are not after traffickers, how do you relax?
I do aerobics, dance or play golf.
What beauty routine do you keep to maintain your good looks?
Healthy eating.

Q: RxView clicks and onError Using RxView to handle the clicks I have to implement the onError. I understand that the onError is always there in observers but is there a case when the RxView.clicks(myview) will actually call onError?
    RxView.clicks(buttonView).ignoreElements().subscribeWith(new DisposableCompletableObserver() {
        @Override
        public void onComplete() {

        }

        @Override
        public void onError(@io.reactivex.annotations.NonNull Throwable e) {
            // when would this be called?
        }

    });

Is it a good pattern to define a class that implements an empty onError assuming that it will never be called? I did not find anything stating that this is true but I can't think about a case when the onError will actually be called

A: I ended doing this:
RxView.clicks(buttonView).ignoreElements().subscribeWith(aVoid -> {});

So here I'm passing a Consumer instead of an Observer. This of course means that I'm assuming I do not need to handle the error.

Want a well-mannered pooch? Teach these things first!
If you were asked to define what it means to have a trained dog what would you say?
If we asked that question to 10 different people, I'm willing to bet we'd get 10 different responses. There may be some similarities between the responses, but over the years I've found that people have very different interpretations of what a "trained dog" is.
For some people the definition of a trained dog is simply one who doesn't potty in the house. For others it is a dog that has a gentle demeanor and knows a trick or two. For a few it is a dog that can run a 200 yard blind retrieve and bring back the bird unscathed.
I've heard many people answer the question by saying a trained dog is one that is "well behaved."
But since well behaved is as subjective as trained, I'd like to create some clarification around what "well behaved" should entail. Let's start by considering the daily routine of our companion dogs. That should help us come up with a list of skills a dog should have in order to behave acceptably in that environment.
The average pet dog lives in the house with us, needs to get routine exercise, has visitors in the home from time to time and needs go to a few places like the vet or the groomer on occasion. With that in mind, here is what I believe is the minimum training a dog should have in order to conduct themselves politely in those situations.
First off, the dog should have good house manners. This means he will not toilet in the house under normal circumstances. Any dog can get sick and have an accident, but a dog that is housebroken can stay at home alone, having liberty to be free in the house and will not potty for a duration of 8 or so hours. It also means that during that time alone, he doesn't chew up or destroy household items. A dog with good house manners knows what toys are his to chew on and leaves other things like pillows, the television remote and shoes alone. For the record, if you are starting with a puppy, expect it to take 12-24 months before you can really feel confident your dog is ready for that level of responsibility of being alone. Use a crate until you are certain!
A well-trained dog comes when called. This should be considered an absolute must for all dogs. A dog that comes when called is a dog that gets to enjoy a great deal more freedom to run. If the dog can come when called, we don't have to worry about the dog slipping out the door, nor do we have to worry about any slight distraction that pops up when we take the leash off. Having the freedom to run reduces frustration and a dog with reduced frustration is a dog that is much calmer to live with.
A well-behaved dog does not jump up on people without an invitation. They understand that keeping four paws on the floor is a must, even through the excitement of meeting new people. A dog that keeps four on the floor does not knock down the kids, startle grandma or muddy up our dress clothes.
A dog should understand how to walk nicely on leash. Dogs need not have a perfect competitive heel command, but it only takes a bit of practice to teach the dog not to drag us or forge constantly when on leash. This simple skill allows anyone who needs to care for our dog the ability to safely and easily take them out to potty or walk them for exercise.
A trained dog is one that can Stay in one place when told. This can be accomplished with a Down command or a Place command but the understanding is that the dog will remain in that spot until given permission to move. This allows you to have company over without the dog always being underfoot, or to take the dog with you to events and not disturb others. A dog that understands the concept of staying is a dog that is welcome most anywhere.
A dog should learn to stop barking when told. It is unreasonable to expect Fido to never bark. The instinct to announce when someone violates a dog's turf is pretty natural. In fact, it is often desirable. Most of us appreciate if the dog is barking at someone we feel uncomfortable with. If our dog wards off an intruder with his barking, we praise him and declare the dog a hero! But we get very upset when the barking becomes a nuisance and we have no control of it. Since our dogs don't know who is and is not of ill intent, it is our job to teach the dog to simply stop the barking when told. The barking is never a problem, as long as we can control it and stop it as needed.
Those are the essentials: house manners, come when called, no jumping, walk on a leash, stay, and stop barking. Any dog can learn those basics and that is a recipe for a good dog!

Alan Johnson has been very self deprecating about his economic knowledge, promising to get a text-book to brush up. He faces George Osborne at the Dispatch box for the first time today.
In truth to be Shadow Chancellor does not require a knowledge of neo-classical endogenous growth theory. He needs to just pick a few issues with which to harry the government. Guido checked Alan Johnson's website to discover a flavour of his approach to economics. Unfortunately he doesn't appear to have one. All Guido could find under the "business and economy" heading was a press release about the PBR dating back to December 2009.
Since Alan seems devoid of his own ideas, perhaps he could borrow some ideas from his fellow progressive Barack Obama? Obama is giving individuals a progressive tax break this year of 6.2% of earned income up to $400 for individuals and up to $800 for couples, phased out at an income of $75,000. Obama is also giving parents a $1,000 tax break per child (in France it is €5,000) that would please the squeezed middle-classes.


We partnered with our friends at Samsung to take a look at the current state of "the cloud" and Samsung's green solutions. Did you know that by changing all installed servers worldwide to Samsung Green Server Solution we could save 59 Million tons of CO2 emissions a year?

Are fast-loan markets undermining or promoting welfare? How should information about prices and product characteristics be provided to consumers? How does the framing of the offer influence sales and perceptions about quality? What if consumers make consumption choices that are self-harming, how should such markets be regulated in order to promote well-functioning markets and welfare?
The inter-dependencies between competition and consumer policy have been increasingly recognized by academics and policy makers alike. Even in Finland consumer policy authorities, on the one hand, and competition policy authorities, on the other hand, merged under the same roof when The Finnish Competition and Consumer Policy Authority was established in 2013. Behavioural economics and consumer research are key to understanding the connections between competition and consumer policies, since this research aims at understanding and quantifying the sometimes irrational (in the sense of self-harming) decision making by consumers thus providing tools for integrating consumer protection and competition policy analysis. Under the umbrella of "behavioral economics & consumer behavior", these and related questions are being studied.


The Global Effie Awards 2016 has invited Roopak Saluja, founder and chief executive officer, The 120 Media Collective and Sooperfly, to be part of the jury this year. The awards honor multinational marketing communication efforts that have proven their effectiveness in four or more countries on at least two continents.
Top global marketers will judge the Global Effie competition this year in Singapore, Sao Paulo, New York and London. Saluja is slated to attend round 1 of the jury meet in Singapore on March 23.


Tennessee Tech (1-7, 1-4 Ohio Valley Conference) jumped to a 10-0 lead but was trailing 24-20 by midway through the third quarter when fortunes changed. After punting the ball to Tennessee State, Marcus McMeans forced a fumble and Deven Sullivan fell on it at the 32.
The Golden Eagles put together a seven-play drive -- converting on a fourth-and-1 -- before Sale found Kilpatrick from the 8. The go-ahead score was Kilpatrick's first collegiate TD.
Tennessee State (4-4, 1-4) missed a field goal on its next possession and saw its final two drives end in interceptions, both by Clay Davis. Michael Hughes fired three touchdown passes to Patrick Smith, the last a 16-yarder for a 24-20 lead, as the Tigers overcame the 10-point deficit in the first five minutes of the game.

Geek Girls Rule! #527 – Watchmen -v- Imitators
Edited to correct that I named the Fucking Wrong Author. It's Alan Moore! Gah, Pop Will Eat Itself even has a song about that. UGH! I am terrible.
Ok, so I was talking to the Geek Husband What Rules about watching the Watchmen, and he went off on a rant against it, the comic as well as the movie.
To an extent he had a point. Grittiness in comics really does have it's genesis in the Watchmen, more or less. But the GHWR's problem isn't actually so much with the source text, but with its imitators and fanboys.
To be blunt, Mark Millar is Alan Moore's fault.
Frank Miller, some of Garth Ennis's catalog of work, etc…
He went off on a rant about how Moore felt the need to make The Comedian a complete bastard, having him be a rapist, shooting the Vietnamese woman he'd impregnated, that he all but crushed puppies.
And this led to me doing something I rarely do, which is defending Moore.
You have to remember that at the time, Vietnam was still fresh in the minds of people of Moore's generation, especially things like the Mai Lai massacre, where American soldiers behaved every bit as badly as the Comedian. The US were not the heroes we would to believe in Vietnam. Things got ugly.
In the 1980s a whole lot of unsavory things were coming to light about the behavior of the US. Such as our collusion with Pinochet, accusations against the School of the Americas, and our treatment of people here at home.
Regardless of whether these things were conscious inspiration, they had to be running around Moore's head. They were international news. And I don't know if Moore saw him this way, but The Comedian seems to be to be a distillation of the very worst the US establishment had to offer.
Other heroes are treated more kindly, yes, even Rorschach. But they are not depicted as flawless. Nite Owl has trouble getting it up, until he and the second Silk Specter beat up some gang members and put the costumes back on. Ozymandias is an arrogant self-aggrandizing prick who thinks he knows best. Dr. Manhattan has long lost touch with his humanity. And Rorschach is so rigidly uncompromising in his positions and attitude, so dogmatically biblical in his vengeance, that he is really difficult to cope with, let alone reason with.
The first Nite Owl reminisces about his time as a hero with the same fondness former football team captains use, although he wasn't running touchdowns, he was beating up and killing other humans.
None of them are perfect or untouchable, they are all flawed human beings.
Now, granted, you can definitely write flawed, realistic characters without descending into gritty.
But first reactions are often extreme.
And Moore was pretty much the first.
His fanboys, however, feel the need to try to outdo him. Garth Ennis with The Boys*, Mark Millar with, well, everything he's ever touched. Frank Miller's entire career from the late 80s on.
With them it seems to be less commentary and more a dick-measuring contest.
Who can go for the gross out? The worst of the worst that can still pass as hero?
While I understand that without Moore's Watchmen, we would not have the Millars, Millers and Ennises of the world, it also isn't entirely fair to blame Morrison for them.
*I love Preacher, but The Boys is just gross.

Animation Entertainment/ December 10, 2021/
dave nemo entertainment
This is my favorite way to incorporate some of the best movies of the year by the dave nemo, dave nemo entertainment. Dave nemo entertainment is one of the best movies of the year and one of the best movies I've seen in months. He's not alone but he's the one that got me excited this weekend.
Dave nemo entertainment is another of those films that we all love because it is one of those films that we could totally see ourselves in. And the fact that it has a great soundtrack and the whole thing was done on a stage is a neat little touch that makes everything seem so real.
There's a reason why the first half of the original film, _The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight and the Knight and the Ring,_ was an amazing film. It had some amazing characters, but it was so far from being actually a super blockbuster that I kind of felt like I was really missing out. It was just as much a horror film as it was a major sci-fi western.
That's the good news. The bad news is that people who are not fans of _The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight and the Knight and the Ring_ might not enjoy the game. It was a lot of fun, but I can't say I'd recommend it for fans of the original. The game's story is pretty bare bones, so I'm afraid I can't give it any kind of insight.
When the game first came out I was a little disappointed because I was expecting big things from dave nemo. Although the game did have the advantage of being a sequel to _The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight and The Knight and the Ring_, I didn't love it. The story was pretty linear, the characters were boring, and the graphics were boring. To be honest, I think the graphics were the only real thing that held the game back.
dave nemo's art is pretty simple and unimpressive. His characters are just a bunch of bland, unspecialized people. The story is pretty bare bones as well, but still pretty boring.
The art direction of dave nemos game is pretty basic, too. The game was never really all that interesting to me. I mean, the characters were cool and the graphics were nice, but that was it.
Well, the game looks good enough to pass muster, but the art direction is not really all that interesting. It is pretty simple though, and the graphics are really unimpressive. The only thing that I liked was the music, and that's about it.
What I liked about the game was the way it's built into the game itself. The way it's built into the game itself is not really fun to look at, and I actually had the same feeling about the music. The music is just too weird and the sound is too raw. I really like how the game looks and sounds like it's gonna be a really good game, but the music is just too raw and the sound is too weak.
The game's music is obviously not the reason that you should buy it. The game's graphics are not the reason you should buy it. But that's how it looks and sounds. I don't have the time or the money to waste on the game and I will probably only be able to see it in its current state if it does well enough to get the game's developers a lot of money.

Opponents of Offshore Drilling Gear Up for a Fight- The Trump Administration has proposed opening up the entire East Coast to offshore exploration. But fishermen, environmentalists, realtors, and business owners in New Jersey are voicing their unified opinion that it's not worth the risk.
Turning Barren Strip Mines into Fields of Purple- A new wave of farmers hopes the lavender industry can provide a steady source of income to support them in West Virginia.
Do We Even Need the Clean Power Plan?- Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University looked at emissions data and found that the U.S. can still meet-- or maybe even beat-- reduction targets without it.
More Than a Week After Explosion, Gas Still Pours from Frack Well- In addition to monitoring the air, regulators have set up floating booms in nearby Captina Creek to protect it from salty brine water that's also pouring from the well.


In this story about Lot, he has insisted on bringing the two angels into his house, probably because he knew how dangerous the city was at night. He offered them food but there was not enough time to prove the yeast before adding it to the flour to make fresh bread: so Lot made some unleavened bread in haste. The implication is, that given sufficient time, Lot would have chosen to make leavened bread instead.
Biblically speaking, bread is central not only to the Middle Eastern diet but also to many narratives and spiritual analogies. It was the apostle John who noted that Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life", when "the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near" (John 6:48; 7:2). What kind of bread did he have in mind? Was it leavened or unleavened? Does it even matter which it was? It's not mentioned but we do have a clue – Jesus expanded his statement, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven" (John 6:51). The life of bread is in the yeast: it was the rich, filling, tasty bread that Mead writes about. The fullness is what is important in the reference to the Bread of Life. The fullness of Jesus' living in us permeates every aspect of our lives, just as yeast permeates and gives fullness of flavour to bread.
So next time you have some delicious, freshly baked, risen bread, why not think of the Bread of Life, "alive and rising" and "love-filled"?
Eternal Father, thank you that Jesus is the living Bread of Life, and that he sustains me and nourishes me every day. In Jesus' name.

Many familiar to the work we do at the Sainsbury Institute may associate us with our regular public lectures and events. Behind the walls of 64 The Close, however, there is much more that we do. In fact, as our mission statement highlights, research is at the core of our activities. As part of fulfilling this mission, preparations for a new online English database has been going on steadily for nearly the past two years and is just about to be launched. This database will contain detailed information on Japanese arts related activities such as exhibitions and publications which are taking place outside of Japan. This is our first collaborative project with the esteemed National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo (also known as Tobunken).
To start, on 24 July 2013, an agreement was signed at the Sainsbury Institute in Norwich between our Executive Director, Mizutori Mami and Dr Kamei Nobuo, the Director General of Tobunken. Tobunken was originally founded in 1930 as the Institute of Art Research with an endowment bequeathed by Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924), considered to be the father of Western style painting in Japan. Since then Tobunken has always situated itself at the heart of academic research activities on Japanese arts and cultures.
Having undergone several organizational changes over the years, today, Tobunken currently is comprised of four research departments, namely, Department of Art Research, Archives and Information Systems; Department of Intangible Cultural Heritage; Center for Conservation Science and Restoration Techniques; and Japan Center for International Cooperation in Conservation. Each department complements one another, and together they testify to the breadth of the activities this national institute undertakes.
One of the main objectives of Tobunken is the dissemination of information related to Japanese art and cultural properties. With their commitment to share the information generated and collected by each department with a wider community of researchers and members of the public, in recent years, Tobunken began developing a comprehensive database that brought together pre-existing but independently developed databases under one system. The information can be searched using Kenkyū shiryō sōgō kensaku (research collections single search) system on Tobunken's website and is continuously added and updated.
Since its launch, the database has been serving as an essential source of information for academics and the public, but the content was limited to information on events that took place in Japan or publications in Japanese. To remedy this limitation, Tobunken started to look for a viable and reliable partner abroad which could contribute in expanding the content of the database and make it truly global.
The Sainsbury Institute was hence appointed as the collaborative partner, and the signing of the agreement between the two Institutions marked the start of a new phase in developing a single search system of the various research collections.
While this collaboration will allow Tobunken to disseminate fuller information on Japanese arts and culture to the public, the Sainsbury Institute will benefit by including this project as a new and important component to our research profile.
Our task at the Sainsbury Institute is to collect information on Japanese art related publications in English as well as information distributed in English on Japanese art related exhibitions and film festivals that have taken place outside of Japan. We collect our information following the format of Tobunken's Bijutsu kanren bunken (art related publications) database, which is a digitaised and enhanced version of the most authoritative almanac on Japanese art, Nihon bijutsu nenkan, published by Tobunken since 1936. The database will complement the existing databases of Tobunken, and is expected to act as the first point of reference for those interested in and looking for references on Japanese art in English.
Our Japanese Art Database Officer, Miwako Hayashi Bitmead has so far collected information on approximately 600 exhibitions and film festivals and approximately 1000 publications. At the time of writing, the team at the Department of Art Research, Archives and Information Systems is preparing the English interface pages on their website with the Institute's language support so that the information that the Sainsbury Institute has collected can be accessed in both English and Japanese. The Sainsbury Institute's Japanese art database is now available online from Tobunken's website since 30 April 2015.
We are proud to be a partner of the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Tokyo and grateful for their continued support and guidance in establishing this database. We are also grateful to J. Paul Getty Jnr. Charitable Trust for their generous support without which this project would not have been possible. We hope that, together with Tobunken's existing databases, our database will develop into an indispensable tool for those who study and research Japanese art in and outside of Japan.
Please go to Tobunken Research Collection website and discover the depth and breadth of Japanese art and culture related activities taking place outside of Japan.

Msgr. Edward J. McGolrick
Edward J. McGolrick was born in Ireland on May 9, 1857 and received his religious training at the North American College in Rome, from which he was ordained in June of 1882. McGolrick was first assigned to St. Patrick Church on Kent Avenue, where he served from 1882 to 1888. In 1888, McGolrick was assigned to St. Cecilia's Church, where he served until his death on August 22, 1938. 1
In 1927, McGolrick opened St. St. Cecilia's Hospital under the oversight of the Dominican Sisters. The Hospital was founded "to reduce maternity costs for poor families". In 1939, St. Cecilia's Hospital was renamed St. Catherine's Maternity Hospital Monsignor McGolrick Memorial.2
In 1940, Winthrop Park in Greenpoint was renamed in Msgr. McGolrick's honor.

The LIDA Project presented its first work, Mud, as an extension of Renée Goldberg's final thesis at The University of Colorado at Denver. This work was a deeply nuanced, symbolic exploration of extreme poverty built within a triangle of need. The 17 scene structure was framed with original photographic projections by Brian E. Lewis.


Over the years, the water level in the Ruby Falls cave lowered, allowing air to enter. When that happened, the conditions were right for the creation of speleothems, or cave formations. Speleothems are formed when water moving through the coil absorbs the minerals in the limestone. As the water evaporates or drips, it leaves minerals behind, creating formations over a period of time.
Keep an eye out for the following cave formations during your Ruby Falls tour!
Stalactites form as water drips from the ceiling of the cave, leaving minerals behind. The minerals build up very slowly to make the stalactite. All stalactites start out as capillary tubes (also called soda straws). You can always remember the difference between stalactites and stalagmites because stalactites hang "tight" to the ceiling.
These are formed when dripping water hits and deposits minerals on the cave floor. Stalagmites are almost always found underneath stalactites and you can always remember the stalagmites hold "mighty" on the ground.
Draperies, also called curtains, are formed as water works its way through the small cracks and crevices in the ceiling and evaporates before it has a chance to fall.
Helictites are a type of stalactite. They grow in any direction on the cave ceiling. Their twisted shape is attributed to air currents and the arrangement of the calcite crystals.
A capillary tube is a hollow stalactite. They are very thin and fragile. When the hole on the end of a capillary tube is closed off, it becomes a stalactite and begins to widen. Capillary tubes are very common in the Ruby Falls cave, especially in the Hall of Dreams.
Columns form when a stalactite and a stalagmite grow into each other.
Flowstone is formed from flowing water instead of dripping water. The calcite is deposited in thin layers. These thin layers will first take the shape of the cave floor or bedrock beneath it. The flowstone builds up to become more rounded as it gets thicker.

In the last decade, healthcare innovation has gone from "the entrepreneurial equivalent of Siberia" to…well, Silicon Valley. As healthcare finds new entrants from tech, consumers expect them to be closely watched over by the government. Surgeons on the other hand, perhaps they should be self-regulating.
Speaking of entrepreneurs from tech, today we are excited to announce the launch of Hi.Q, led by Rock Health entrepreneur and Like.com founder Munjal Shah. Download Health IQ.

The Town of Fuquay-Varina and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plan to complete the loop around Fuquay-Varina by extending Judd Parkway a final 2.2 miles.
The roadway will be built partially on Wilbon Road and partially on a new location.
Construction will begin at the intersection of NC 42 (West Academy Street) and SW Judd Parkway. It will end at the intersection of NC 55 (North Broad Street) and Wilbon Road/Northeast Judd Parkway.
The extension will consist of a four-lane road with curb and gutter, a grassed median, four-foot bicycle lanes, and sidewalks.
The existing railroad crossing on Coley Farm Road will be closed, and an at-grade crossing will be added on the proposed NW Judd Parkway. Additionally, Washington Street will be extended to intersect with the proposed NW Judd Parkway. Bridge Street will be realigned to intersect with NW Judd Parkway at the current Three Meadows Road.
It is estimated that more than 50 parcels of land will be impacted by this project. Currently the DOT has set aside $6,550,000 for right-of-way takings. If your property will be affected, contact one of our attorneys (two of whom previously worked on behalf of the NCDOT) for a free case evaluation.


Using our curated taxonomy, prokaryotic type strain database, our corpus of taxonomic literature and our phenotypic thesaurus, we applied a novel software method to normalizing raw text into ontology-based phenotypic assertions. A reasoner to infers phenotype based on all available information available about a strain. Our method is able to use knowledge at appropriate levels of abstraction to correctly answer queries and produce new knowledge.
Charles Parker will be presenting a poster at the GSC Workshop on May 5th.
Despite significant improvements in genome annotation, many assertions are hypothetical and may lack experimental support. The taxonomic literature for prokaryotes contains a wealth of experimental phenotypic data, but that knowledge is currently in a form that does not lend itself to integration with databases or ontologies.
Our knowledge base is designed to address these problems by providing reference phenotypic data for nearly all type strains of Bacteria and Archaea, based on concepts and observational data drawn from the primary taxonomic literature (the corpus of literature that supports our up-to-date taxonomy and strain database).
We developed software (Semantic Desktop) to extract putative feature domain vocabularies from this corpus, we have since developed this vocabulary into a precise thesaurus of phenotypic terms, which will ultimately conform to W3C SKOS-XL semantics, providing a link between the language of microbial phenotype, the semantic web and existing NamesforLife services.

News From : DagangHalal.com (31 Aug 2010)
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 (Bernama) — Realising that officers from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) were conducting a surprise check on a food outlet at the Pavilion shopping centre, here, several other operators of food outlets quickly removed the 'halal' logos and certificates that were not recognised by the department from the wall of their premises.
The director of the Monitoring and Enforcement Branch of the Jakim Halal Hub Division, Amri Abdullah, said it was believed they had removed the logos and certificates that were not issued by Jakim to avoid action from being taken against them.
He said there was a commotion briefly when the Jakim officers accompanied by officers from the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism, and the Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) inspected premises selling grilled chicken and ducks as they had doubted the way the chicken and ducks were slaughtered.
The inspection, conducted by three officials from Jakim, three officials from the ministry and five members of PPIM, was carried out following complaints from members of the public on the abuse of the halal certificate at the food outlets.
During the inspection, the food outlet operators said they obtained their halal logo and certificate through the management of the shopping complex without dealing directly with the issuing authority.

Weiland is a rapper/artist new to the scene and quick to take it by storm. His short but eclectic discography is enough to showcase his credibility and talent in the music industry. By evolving genres and experimenting with his sound on each record, it is clear these are the beginning works of an artist who will revolutionize where music can go. Lots of new and exciting stuff has happened recently for Weiland. First, his recent move from Tampa, Florida to New York. Then, on April 22, 2022, Weiland released an album that could very well define his career. He first gained popularity while releasing pluggnb and rap/hip hop. It fell in line with the sounds of SoundCloud rappers with heavy auto tune and melodies under a subgenre of trap music. While sonically separate from the rest of his work, Vices proves that taking chances, trusting your gut, and believing in your work is all worth it in the end. Vices is a perfect mixture of familiarity and innovation that listeners need from their music. It works because listeners are comfortable with refreshing the sound of synth-pop. He makes it new with breathy vocals, clouded by music and a hint of his beginnings of rap. Weiland took what we know and created a cinematic listening experience. This is an album for synth pop lovers looking to venture out. It's for people who listen to movie soundtracks and playlist curators.
With his discography totaling four albums, each has a sound uniquely its own. Each provides an insight to Weiland's process of discovering his sound- reading as chapters to his career. The self-titled album Weiland was a step toward the alternative genre we currently have with Vices. He stepped away from pluggnb and experimented more within pop and rap. Famous for posting snippets of upcoming material on Instagram, Weiland often leaves fans eager for new music. Though the previews posted for Vices did not make the final cut, it showed his process of creating a cohesive album. Doing so takes time and the understanding that not everything will work the first time around. Art is evolving, and that includes music. Fans became clear a change was coming with future releases, and he was not shy to show this evolution. Whether it's through the step by step process of making a song, or by changing genres.
When releasing songs in anticipation for Vices, the first single "Heart Stop" did not make the final cut of the album. It did, however, preview the direction of this record. It also provided the knowledge of his working with producer and songwriter Mike Dean. Famous for working with artists such as Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Drake- this collaboration solidifies Weiland's place in the scene. Given that Weiland is a fan of artists such as Kanye and Daft Punk, Dean was the perfect producer to help him gain traction in the kind of music he dreamed of creating. This pairing allowed Weiland to not only create a new sound, but for Dean to step a bit outside his normal realm of artists. He gave Vices the production it needed to be familiar and blend with the newer sounds and material given by Weiland.
From start to finish this record feels visual. "Slipping Into the Void" gives that slo-mo action scene where the main actor is pushing their way through the club to find their enemy-turned-lover. It was the perfect introduction to the rest of the album. "Dangerous Woman" and "Mellotron" show an evolution of self, where we see a hint of his past style in the style of auto tune. Where the main characters are running in the rain to their partners home to apologize, or the montage of their new life after the breakup. Each song contributes to the visual experience of storytelling in this record. Where each has their own sound, they feel fitting to different scenes in an semi-anxiety-inducing-action-film (see: movies such as Good Time).
With an 80's beat and vocals, "Hard Time" stands out as the epitome of who Weiland is as an artist and what he feels comfortable in creating. That being said, "Blaming Myself" may be tied as the jewel of the record. The two latter songs had not only the new synth and familiar vocals, but lyrically were more vulnerable than previous work. It is refreshing to hear lyrics that are more genuine and personal. It accompanies the sound in a way that gives listeners a story and feeling to grasp onto. Vices is a completely cohesive album, making his intentions as an artist clear. Each song makes sense in its tracking, and flows nicely into one another. There is no one song that is egregiously unfitting. Each song is intentional. Each made for the structural integrity of the record and have a purpose of feeding something new to the song that came before.
For those who like to listen to artists before they blow up- here is your chance. To witness an artist slip easily and comfortably into a new sound is a rarity. He is not wary of experimentation or evolution. Listeners and fans of Weiland get to witness this with each song and snippet as he continues to experiment with his sound.Vices attests to his abilities to take what is known and turn it into a new self-expressive outlet. The collaboration with Mike Dean so early in his career is telling of his talent and only validates the creativity he holds. Charting between Taylor Swift's most recent albums within the first week, there is no telling the heights he will reach as he continues his career. A bit of a hint to fans of synth pop- you do not want to miss the experience of this record. To those looking for a new artist with a range, look no further than Weiland.
Vices by Weiland is available now on all streaming platforms. Check him out on Twitter and Instagram as well!

Metadata and the metadata services that describe library collections are critical in supporting content discovery, knowledge creation, and libraries' public missions. Metadata describing library collections is not typically copyrightable, and should be considered freely shareable and reusable under most circumstances. However, some industry players restrict libraries' rights to use such metadata through contractual terms and market influence. Such restrictive activity is out of alignment with libraries' needs and public, not-for-profit/educational missions.

Client agility improved with continuous delivery & IBM z/VM
Jerry Hosch
For years, IBM z/VM® virtualization technology has provided high levels of extreme scalability and security, providing a robust foundation for infrastructure as a service on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE servers.
While cloud computing has become the standard use model for IT services, an IT infrastructure is always the foundation for every IT service. Realizing the benefits of cloud computing requires an infrastructure that is not only secure and reliable, but can also easily adopt new functionality for improved infrastructure capabilities.
The recently announced IBM z/VM version 7.1 will enable continuous adoption of new virtualization capabilities.
Agility through continuous delivery
It's one of the hallmarks of computer science to shorten time in the deployment and operations process, and continuous delivery is one practice enabling the deployment of new capabilities for production at any time.
Faster benefits with z/VM V7.1
With the z/VM Continuous Delivery model, clients get the flexibility of selecting and deploying new capabilities at their pace, along with moving from one release to another release in the new two-year cadence. They can be more productive, less stressed, and more focused on feature delivery rather than dealing with big, unknown potential changes.
In support of continuous operation, z/VM's function for Live Guest Relocation of active virtual Linux servers to another system without interruption is integrated in z/VM V7.1.
Improved infrastructure capabilities
As IBM's virtualization product for IBM Z and LinuxONE, z/VM continuous to expand its functional capabilities. z/VM V7.1. enables its virtual server to benefit from the new capabilities of the z14, Emperor II and Rockhopper II servers, allows for sub-capacity pricing, and enables continuous operation for continuous deployment. Additional improvements will help to save time and resources, improve security and improve the flexibility of the memory management. The detailed overview is available at the z/VM Continuous Delivery News page.
As a foundation of IBM's infrastructure as a service on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE, z/VM V7.1 is evolving in enabling the continuous adoption of new infrastructure capabilities to meet the needs of the IT organizations.
More information is available at https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/zvm.
