She was dressed in black and sitting in a rocker. I tried to think of what she must see; her neighbors walking slowly down the road, carrying this coffin to the grave – and then this big American Express bus with American tourists. She must wonder - as to making sense of the entire thing. We had rounded a curve at the edge of a small village and the road was blocked by this small knot of perhaps fifty citizens walking behind a coffin. We slowed and respectfully followed them to the where they turned into the cemetery. I remember so vividly looking out the window at this procession and then at that older woman sitting on a tiny porch.
We were 15 Americans and Europeans, dressed in shorts, t-shirts, and sunglasses, sitting in an air-conditioned, tinted windowed, American Express bus thousands of miles from home and traveling down this small twisty road. We were in Greece ; on our way to Epidaurus , a famous ancient Greek theater, to see a play by Euripides.
This happened more than thirty years ago, but I can see it as if it were yesterday. The woman dressed in black had probably spent her entire life in this village, rarely venturing far. We, in contrast, were born to ramble. Travel to the four corners of the earth. See and learn; take pictures and get diarrhea. I'm not sure who had the better life. My education or culture had taught me little about the benefits of sitting still.
Many of us approach retirement with the idea that we must keep busy. We must continue to be "active". We must get another job, volunteer, golf, or travel. We believe that we must "be up and doing" as long as we live.
What of those that wish to sit down, enjoy life's moments, breathe deep, walk the beach, rock in the chair? Are they to be scorned, distained, or smiled at as plain fools? Who speaks for those who wish to let go? One of my favorite quotes by Thoreau, that I'll get fairly close is, "As I lie, idly drifting on Walden Pond , I cease to think and begin to be." Here is a classic example of one who learned the pleasure of pausing – and not feeling guilty about it, but actually, proud of it.
Unchecked this notion can create a giant sense of guilty. Work becomes the elixir of life. We must always be "productive". And what of life during retirement? Must we continue being productive, or "busy"?
I recall standing in the door to my classroom years ago. Classes were passing and I was talking to a younger teacher who taught next door to me. He was worried about his contract being terminated. The pipeline boom had ended in Alaska and people were leaving the state. The staff had to be cut.
My wife and I liked our jobs. But we didn't need the job. Not anything like the teacher who worked next door. I decided to look seriously at the money. We were not rich and really did need to provide for food, clothing and shelter along with basic amenities of which we had grown accustom. But that was all.
We did not have need for nearly as much money as we had imagined. We would only need to provide for basic expenses, taxes, insurance, etc. Our children were now either in college or beyond. It was time for them to become financially responsible for themselves. It would probably be better for them, and us, if they were to achieve financial independence. We needed to let go. They needed to go on.
What would we do if we retired? I was 44 years old. Brenda was 41. Everyone told us we were too young to retire. We could, or should "feel guilty". We had to work – it was a given. But we did not want to work at a job and on top of that we did not want to feel guilty about making that decision.
Sometimes I think we need to slow down; not because we are older, but because we are wiser. We have learned the beauty of not "rushing about".
The picture of that older, silver haired lady sitting on a porch in Greece keeps coming back to me. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with sitting on a porch - practicing the art of being.

Presidential candidate Chung says FIFA should still run football
Oct 02, 2015 South Korean FIFA presidential candidate, Chung Mong-joon recently insisted that soccer's embattled governing body should still be allowed to run the sport, however with a new leadership.
While insisting that he is the right man to lead change, Chung said he is in supported of the ongoing investigations into alleged corruption in FIFA.
"The most urgent task at hand is to root out corruption from FIFA. Investigations into illegal activities of the past should be left to the proper legal authorities," Chung said.
The 63-year-old billionaire scion of South Korea's Hyundai industrial conglomerate went on to say:
"Justice must be served. Resuscitating FIFA should be left to those who love football. The future of football should not be left to outsiders,"

2007-03-28: A Little Bent
Roleplay Logs » Volume 01: Beginnings » 2007-03-28: A Little Bent
Summary: Immediately after the events in Central Park, Jack takes Tamara out for dinner/breakfast and tries to understand a little more.
Date It Happened: March 28, 2007
A Little Bent
Lucky Joe's Diner, NYC
After a long, uncomfortably silent cab ride to Yael's apartment, Jack directs the driver to the Lower East. The inside of the vehicle is clean, and as a rare boon, the driver speaks perfect English. "Eh. I'm thinkin' that you and I should chat about some things, short stack. Wanna grab some grub? My treat." He arches an eyebrow curiously as he snuggles back into Yael's warm, recently vacated seat.
The nice thing about long cab rides is the opportunity to rest. Maybe even sleep. But whether Tamara was just relaxed or actually out then, by the time Jack speaks up, she's clearly awake. "It's a try," the teen says, tone implying that's meant as agreement. "Little late for chat, didn't make it wrong," she adds offhand, rubbing at her eyes and glancing out the cab's window.
Jack has the decency to look a little guilty for keeping Tamara from her bed, wherever it is. Still, he has questions about the mess in Central Park, and with any luck, she'll have answers. "I know it's late," he replies. "But humour me? When we're done, I'll send you out with enough cab fare to get you wherever you need to go." Both Jack's tone and his wardingly outstretched hand indicate that he's not interested in the 'wherever.'
Meanwhile, the taxi pulls up to a red light a few blocks from the diner.
Shaking her head, the girl smiles at Jack. "It was okay, for a bit. Long enough. Don't worry." His actions with respect to 'wherever' elicit no apparent response from Tamara - no indication that she either would or wouldn't care to divulge information in that regard. "Questions are easy. Answers can be hard."
"Ain't that the truth," Jack chuckles. When the cabbie finally pulls up in front of the restaurant, the Irishman forks over the amount on the meter, plus a twenty dollar tip. "That's for not askin' how my night's been, or why my shoes smell like hobo puke." He smiles crookedly, then pops his door open and slips out.
Tamara slides out of the cab without much notice for the driver. She pauses on the sidewalk long enough to run her hands through her hair, though not in any attempt to make it presentable (which would probably be futile right now anyway). Then the teen leads the way into the diner, holding the door open for Jack to follow.
Grinning, Jack steps through the door and makes a beeline for the counter. "Many thanks, milady. Go on, take a seat an' order somethin'. Joe's a whiz with breakfast, if that's your fancy." Politely attentive but never to the point of eavesdropping, one of the wait staff bustles over and fills two coffee cups. Before she can take off, Jack verbally snags her. "Whoa. I'll have french toast with bacon, eggs over easy, and extra-crispy hash browns. Plus whatever the youngin' wants."
Tamara perches on the seat next to Jack's, giving the waitress a brief glance. Rather than verbally specify anything, she grabs a menu and points at one of the options on it. "That one." Looks like waffles for her. The coffee placed in front of her is slid over Jack's way in favor of the universal glass of water. Tamara cradles it in her hands, but doesn't take a drink, turning to look at Jack with one raised brow. You had questions?
"So…" Jack begins a little akwardly when the waitress has gotten herself out of earshot. To buy himself a moment to ponder, he lifts one of the coffee cups and sips from it. When he sets it down, his expression is faintly puzzled. "You knew what was going to happen tonight. Maybe not exactly, but you knew that /something/ was going to happen." It's a statement rather than a question. "You tried to warn those people."
Tamara is quiet as Jack thinks, though her fingers tap idly on the sides of the glass they hold. It's not that she's impatient. It's just that she's only still when she's focused. "Something always happens," the girl replies. "Even nothing is something; it cuts the other shadows, and they're gone." At his final statement, Tamara can only shrug. "Other people's shadows were always hard to shape, but the mirror still tried."
Sighing, Jack runs one hand through his dark hair. "Despite your best efforts, that actually makes some sense. At least from an abstract perspective." After blowing steam from across the top of his cup he takes another sip. "Ahem. Ok, allow me to rephrase. Can you tell me how you knew you should call out to them?"
Setting the glass - the water within still untouched - back down on the counter, Tamara leans an elbow on the countertop and gives Jack a frustrated look. She doesn't answer right away, but straightens again, running her fingers through her hair and taking a deep breath. "The… always if. Better if… if they listen, if you listen…" The girl closes her eyes, brow creasing. "No cost, to speak; to say. Couldn't catch the mirror. Chances. Less… dark. If. For them." Her response is halting, far less easily spoken than most of her cryptic statements.
His coffee forgotten, Jack's grey eyes are locked on Tamara intently and his brow creases with concern. "By now I've guessed that you're limited in the ways you can express yourself. Like I told Cohen, your intuition's always been spot-on in my book. You often speak of mirrors and shadows.. I wish I knew what you meant." It's a statement of frustration, not a request for more information. "In any case, I'm glad o' it. You and me, we saved a lady tonight."
The last of Jack's sentence is bitten off as the food arrives and is deposited. With a nod, he dismisses the waitress.
Blue eyes flick briefly to the waitress; then Tamara offers Jack an apologetic smile. "The ghosts are still close, but that doesn't mean the mirror can catch them all." Not yet offering the plate of waffles any heed, she runs a hand over her face. Maybe she'll give it another try. "Shadows… aren't. If. Might. Shifting, changing. Yours, mine, theirs -" Tamara waves vaguely at the other people in the diner. "Until there's one. One /you/ know. Then it's your ghost." She gives Jack a hopeful look. "You know ghosts; the mirror didn't, really. Shadows in the mirror, but you don't see. Just share what's between," the girl concludes, tapping her hand on the countertop.
Despite his earlier interest, Jack seems content to let his breakfast lie as well. "I'm going to go out on a limb, here," he murmurs, lowering his voice. "It sounds to me like you have some way knowing what's possible. Not what will happen, but what /could/ happen. Am I making any sense at all? Because to me, I sound crazy."
Tamara smiles at Jack, a bright and cheerful smile despite her weariness. Her own previous frustration is no longer in evidence. "You weren't," she assures him. "Still sound. Just maybe a little bent." Now, she peers at the waffles on her plate, considering them from a couple of different angles before picking up her fork and cutting off a piece.
This elicits a warm, robust chuckle from Jack. "A little bent, eh? I've been called worse. And if I'm even close to figuring out why you're after talkin' so funny, then it was effort well spent." Having satisfied his worst of his curiosity, he picks up a fork and digs in as well.
Tamara makes a pretty good dent in her waffles before she finally gives in to distraction. Setting the fork down with a faint clatter of metal on ceramic, she picks up the paper napkin by the plate and begins to tear it into little strips.
"Yeah, I feel about the same," Jack admits as he shoves his own plate away. He produces a pen and pad from inside his coat and quickly jots down his phone number, then rips the page off, folds it, and passes it to Tamara. "Take that. Call me if you ever get in trouble, ok? I still owe you for that glass of water you got me when I was dyin' of a hangover." With a crooked grin, he pockets his writing implements, then presses both hands to the countertop. When he leans back, two piles of bills are left behind. "That's for breakfast," he says, and points to one. "That's for your cab fare," he points to other. "Thanks for tryin' to help me understand what happened tonight."
Tamara drops the pieces of paper towel and accepts the folded page Jack passes her. She turns the bit of paper over in her hands, giving it a curious sort of inspection - without unfolding it - then closes her fingers around it and nods to Jack. The girl echoes his grin. "You're welcome."
After giving the girl a quick, brotherly pat on the shoulder, Jack ducks out of the restaurant and disappears.

The sister-in-law of one of my ex-girlfriend's contacted me a couple months ago about capturing a photo for a home improvement project. She is refinishing a room in their house and wanted me to recreate a photo that she found on a magazine cover. Her end goal is to get a large canvas print of the photo to hang on the wall in the newly refinished room.
Below is the photo of the magazine cover she sent to me in a text message showing the print on the wall she wanted me to replicate.
Capture a clear blue sky, the horizon line, and blue water.
Note that the horizon line is not straight in the example she sent. That was the only thing that I did not capture in the recreated photo. I made sure the horizon line was straight so it didn't look like you were looking at a photo taken from a sinking boat or feel like you were on a sinking boat when looking at it mounted on a wall.
I did an initial test round of shots at the same location that I snapped the "Sunrise" photo last year (August 2013). Being that it was a test round, and the conditions weren't perfect (cloudy), I was able to tell if that location would be good for when the conditions were perfect.
I also planned on heading into Oscoda, MI the last time we were camping to try to capture the photo on the beach shooting into Lake Huron, but the weather conditions that weekend were very poor, so I didn't even attempt the shot.
On the afternoon of October 23, 2014, I happened to look outside and noticed there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. The sky was also nice and blue due to the solar elevation angle being lower (24.80° to be exact) since fall was in full effect. Perfect conditions for the photo I needed to capture!
It was around 3:35 PM Eastern when I hopped into the car with my camera and headed to the location where I took the initial test round of shots. I took 39 photos total and ended up using the very first photo, taken at 3:55 PM Eastern.
She plans on getting the photo printed on a 24 x 36 inch canvas.

Becoming a parent is a once in a lifetime experience. It is a wonderful feeling. Holding your infant in your arms gives you the supreme feeling of all. With a bundle of joy, it even leads to a package of responsibilities. Especially with the passing years when your child starts growing up you need to act all the more responsible. You being their guardian, they look up to you for almost everything. Being a parent is not an easy task. You have to be responsible for your child. You can't be infallible if you're a good parent. They reflect you. Successful parenting requires more than providing for the physical needs of one's children. It means being committed to their developmental well-being and overall success. If we talk of now, the generation gap between parents and the children makes things all the more difficult. It becomes really tough to be a good parent. So whatever ways you may choose towards parenting there are certain qualities that are a compulsion for you to possess. Lacking those leads to more complicated situations. Have a look at these qualities and inculcate them in case you lack any because these will help you become good parents.
Trust, the name itself suggests a lot of complication. Trust is the threshold of every relationship. You being parents must trust your children. Lack of trust may lead to a lot of arguments or misunderstandings. When your child is in his or her teens, they are at a phase where anything said or done against them invokes them to fight back. Therefore do not be suspicious of your children in any situation. Trust them freely. The values that you have imbibed in them will not lead them to do anything wrong.
This is another major quality that you must possess as a parent. Understanding leads to a healthy and smooth relationship between a parent and a child. You should be so much approachable that your children can talk their hearts out in front of you. Take care to assure your children that you think that what they say is important.They can discuss all their problems with you without being fearful. Many times it happens that parents don't understand their children and simply make the child feel reluctant in expressing themselves. This is a negative point. It affects the child mentally. Therefore maintain a balance in your relationship.
Being parents you are the only support for the children. Children look up to their parents for everything. From childhood, they seek support from you. In whatever they do, you should stand by them to let them not feel alone. Especially when children grow up, for their future decisions too, parents must act supportive towards them rather than imposing your own decisions over them.
This is a unique as well as an important quality. At some or the other point in life, you have to learn to compromise for your children. Life is incomplete without them. There comes a time when you have to accept things as they are and compromise a bit to move on in life. Be it financially or in any other way to build a secure future for your children you should be that much responsible to give up what it takes.
Parents are the first friends of children. Before entering school, parents are the only one a child talks to. But as they grow up too you must be careful enough to be frank with them. You should let them open up to you. They should feel comfortable in talking to you about anything that they are curious about. You being parents should be the best of all friends of your children. You should be the first ones they approach for any kind of problem they face.
Encouragement is the first and foremost thing a parent must do. Life brings many failures but learning to cope with them and being encouraged to move on is necessary. This is what you have to do for your children. This goes a long way to boost the confidence and well being of your children. Encourage them to try new things and explore their talents. Your encouragement may lead them to do great things. At the same time if you are discouraging it leaves the child disheartened.
A parent's love and care determine eventually how a child grows up and how a child will eventually parent. Being loved by your parents make you feel important and gives you the inspiration to do something worthwhile in life. It becomes a necessity for parents to show their love and care towards their children. Depriving your child of the love they deserve is no less than a criminal offense. Love directs your children towards the right path. Tell them you love them. Everyone likes to be loved and given importance. Parents must keep it in mind to never let the child feel unwanted or not loved. This might lead to show behavioral changes in them.
It is very well said that parents are the first teachers. All that you teach your child from the childhood itself nurtures their upbringing. You need to be a good teacher. You have to teach everything to your child in such a way that it makes them sensible enough to deal with odd situations. Be assertive and kind when pointing out what they have done wrong. Children should be very familiar with the consequences of their actions. Always remember your values can be seen in your children. Therefore be careful while handling them.
Patience is another important quality which every parent must possess. Whether you are the mom or the dad you need to learn to be patient. Dealing with kids can get stressful at times. But do not give up, your parents have dealt with you too no matter how hard it was for them. You have to learn to calm down and handle situations. Taking decisions in a haste may lead to problems. You have to understand your children too.
We all are humans and owing to that we make many mistakes. As parents too you might end up making mistakes but do not avoid them. You should know what you have to change within yourself and when. Don't allow your determination to become a good parent prevent you from being one. Make changes for the better. Nobody is perfect and being a perfect parent is also just a myth. All you should know is where you are going wrong and then implement changes for yourself.
This is an amazing post on the issue of parenting. More power to your elbow.
You got me when you said that it's important to be patient to become a good parent because dealing with kids can cause stress. With that in mind, I don't think that I'm ready to be a mother just yet. I easily get annoyed with kids, and I don't want to hear their noise at all when I'm at home. Since I'm on my 2nd term of pregnancy, I'll find a late-term abortion facility. Thanks!

Oral Bacteria Adapt to Broad Variety of Environments
Dentistry Today July 23, 20203 Mins read564 Views
Some of the oral bacteria in human mouths also can be found groundwater deep below the Earth's surface, in the bellies of moose, and in dogs, cats, and dolphins, according to researchers at the Forsyth Institute who have found that these organisms have adapted to these diverse environments without radically changing their genomes.
The bacteria are members of the TM2 or Saccharibacteria phylum. These ultra-small, parasitic bacteria with small genomes belong to a larger group called the Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR). These CPR bacteria are mysterious "dark matter" that represent more than 25% of all bacterial diversity, yet we know very little about them since the vast majority of them remain uncultivated.
The researchers have found that Saccharibacteria within a mammalian host are more diverse than ever anticipated. They also discovered that certain members of the bacteria are found in the oral cavity of human beings, the guts of other animals, and in groundwater.
While these environments are all very different, the bacteria's tiny genomes remain minimally changed between human beings and groundwater. This indicates that human beings acquired the bacteria more recently on an evolutionary timescale.
"It's the only bacteria we know that has hardly changed when they adapted to humans," said Dr. Jeffrey Scott McLean, a microbiologist, associate professor of professor of periodontics at the University of Washington School of Dentistry, and lead author of the study.
The TM7 bacteria were a complete mystery to scientists until Dr. Xuesong He, associate member of staff at the Forsyth Institute and coauthor of the study, first isolated the bacterium TM7x, a member of CPR, in 2014.
Since then, researchers have learned that CPR includes a huge number of different bacteria, all with tiny genomes. These bacteria need a host to survive and are unique in that they can't make their own amino acids and nucleotides, which are essential building blocks for life, the researchers said.
"I see this as a huge discovery," said Wenyuan Shi, CEO and chief scientific officer at the Forsyth Institute and coauthor of the study. "This creature survives in both humans and groundwater, which indicates there are similarities that allow these bacteria to adapt to humans."
Previous research by Dr. Batbileg Bor, assistant member of the staff at the Forsyth Institute and coauthor of the study, showed that TM7 can easily jump from one bacterial host to another. This could explain how they ended up in mammals, since mammals drink groundwater.
"The most likely reason we see a large diversity of these bacteria in humans, yet one group of bacteria remains nearly identical to those in groundwater, is that some groups were acquired in ancient mammal relatives and they expanded over time across mammals, whereas this one highly similar group more recently jumped directly into humans," McLean said.
TM7 and other ultra-small, parasitic bacteria within CPR may play important roles in health and disease that we have yet to discover. Since they act as parasites, living with and killing other bacteria, TM7 could change the overall microbiome by modulating the abundance of bacteria, McLean said.
Scientists are just scratching the surface of understanding how much our microbiome impacts our overall health, the Forsyth Institute said.
Another major contribution of this research has been developing a systematic way to name these newly discovered bacteria, setting the foundation for classifying other isolated strains in the future, the Forsyth Institute continued.
The fact that human beings acquired TM7 recently is a discovery that has broader implications for understanding our co-evolutionary pathways with the microbes that live on and within us, the Forsyth Institute added.
"There are only a couple hundred genes that are different in these ultra-small bacteria between what lives deep in the subsurface environment and those that have become common bacterial in our mouths," said McLean. "That is a remarkable feat for bacteria missing so many genes."
The study, "Acquisition and Adaptation of Ultra-Small Parasitic Reduced Genome Bacteria to Mammalian Hosts," was published by Cell Reports.

Riders vs. Eskimos: Anti-Climatic End
Saturday the Riders close out the regular season at home against the lowly Eskimos. In keeping with the themes of the rest of the final week's action, this game is more meaningless than my self-appointed status as certified breast examiner. The Riders will be hoping to emerge healthy and ready to resume meaningful games next week. The Eskimos will be looking to put in just enough effort to look like they care while still trying to covertly coast into offseason mode.
All signs point to Durant sitting… and rightly so. He has nothing to gain by playing so it's better to rest him and get him healthy (or at least as healthy as he can get in November) for the playoffs. Plus anytime Willy can get some meaningful action you should take advantage of the opportunity (at least that's my policy). I will be interested to see if Willy will be the solid confident QB we saw in his start against Hamilton or if he regresses to the shaky scrambler we saw last year. It will be telling as to where is development is at. Garrett will also likely get the bulk of the workload to rest Sheets. They may have to chain Sheets to the bench to keep him off the field and assign a chaperon to make sure he doesn't sneak on the field. If the record or 2K was a possibility I'd let him run… but since it's not, I think it's better to rest him so he can be a terror come the playoffs. Look like Alex Anthony may get a live tryout with Getzlaf nursing a knee injury. I'm interested to see what he can do... given the embarrassingly low standard set by Sisco, Anthony would not have to do much to catapult himself up the depth chart. Overall don't expect much flash and flare from the O, we will be saving out best stuff for the playoffs (at least that's the hope that keeps me going). But with a number of back-ups looking to make an impression you can bet there will a solid effort level.
While back-ups will likely dominate the O, the one thing that is meaningful and that I am looking forward to is the return of Best to the line-up and our OL getting back to the starting 5 we want. It's sad when the thing I am most looking forward to is 5 fat men in tight fitting clothes. This is an excellent chance for the starting 5 to re-develop the chemistry that made them an intimidating unit early in the year in live action. It'll probably be shaky at first but before long I expect they will be solid.
Defensively there will also likely be some starters resting. Old man McCullough and Maze are likely to sit and maybe one or 2 more. Same deal as on O, our goal is to emerge relatively healthy. That said consider that last time we played and the Esks actually cared, we held them to 9 points and that was with Stamps in the line-up. Even if we rest a couple, our D-line remains downright scary and the Edmonton OL instills just as much fear in their own QB as our DL. Defense will be solid… maybe not as amped up as the first half of last week, but solid enough to snuff out the second worst offense in the CFL without their top receiver.
On the surface we have an Eskimo team that is playing for their jobs next year versus a Rider team that is more focused on next week. It would not surprise anyone to see the Esks win based purely on care factor. But also consider that no one wants to spend the offseason hurt; this is a home game; and Kavis Reed is an awful coach who will soon be the victim of CONSEQUENCES himself. In a meaningless game anything can happen. Personally the Esks embarrass themselves so bad that we get one last epic Kavis Reed post-game interview.
If you want quality football, you are probably better off checking out the Regina Thunder play in the national championship. But if you enjoy seeing the Eskimos playing a team on a reduced playbook with a bunch of back-ups (aka the fairest fight they are going to get without playing Winnipeg again), then this game will have entertainment value. I say sit back and enjoy a game without the usual levels of stress (save that for next week when stress will be through the roof).
Riders' Willy scores, ensure happy ending for all.
One last note, the court case for the Anderson/Smith/Riley assault case has been pushed back once again… this time to November 26. I'm sure it's just coincidence that its 2 days after the Grey Cup. The "stall legal proceedings until the season is over" plan has worked to perfection. This effectively saves the Riders from even having to deal with the issue this year. The system works!

Review: A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013)
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2013)
Directed by: Roman Coppola
Premise: The head of an advertising agency (Charlie Sheen) goes into a tailspin following his breakup with his girlfriend.
What Works: A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III is distinguished by a unique look. The movie alternates between a realistically styled story of a man struggling through a breakup and surrealistic fantasy sequences in which Charles Swan imagines himself as a hero. The fantasy set pieces are the movie's highpoint and in these sections the picture often has the absurd consistency of a dream. Rather than using a lot of familiar computer generated imagery, the filmmakers of Inside the Mind of Charles Swan use practical gags or animated effects that give the movie a deliberately kitschy and retro feel.
What Doesn't: As good as the fantasy sequences are, they don't come often enough nor are they impactful or meaningful enough to save this movie. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III only runs eighty-six minutes but it feels about double that length because the movie is comprised of long periods of flat drama interrupted by brief flourishes of style with very little substance. The filmmaking style of Inside the Mind of Charles Swan comes across as a weak imitation of Wes Anderson but with none of Anderson's energy, intelligence, flair, or creative control. The problem is found in the central character, who isn't interesting at all. There is nothing to him beyond what we see. The fantasy sequences don't reveal very much about the title character that isn't already obvious from the scenes taking place in reality. There is nothing symbolic about the imagery and all the fantasy sequences do is embolden the character's already inflated ego. Charlie Sheen is cast as Charles Swan and Sheen is both the film's greatest asset and its Achilles Heal. Sheen's public persona as an over-privileged, drunk, misogynistic, egomaniac suits the character of Charles Swan but because Swan is such a one-note character there is nothing distinguishing the actor from his part and the movie comes across like Charlie Sheen's other movie and television roles in which he plays a version of his tabloid self. And like Sheen's similar roles, Inside the Mind of Charles Swan comes very close to celebrating its title character's (and the actor's) sins. In the premise of the movie, Swan's girlfriend leaves him because she comes to the realization that he is an awful boyfriend. Instead of sending Swan on a journey of self-destruction or discovery or playing out his narcissism in the mode of a character study, the filmmakers of Inside the Mind of Charles Swan just allow the character to lay around feeling sorry for himself and they often indulge his self-pity. The moviemakers aren't ridiculing his undue sense of privilege; they are vindicating it. This creates a rotten core around which the rest of the movie is built and the lack of epiphany both on the part of the title character and the viewer makes this whole movie a very empty experience. It is curiously self-aware and yet far too self-indulgent. The filmmaking excess that pervades Inside the Mind of Charles Swan is also evidenced in its roster of supporting players, including Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, and Aubrey Plaza. Few films have accomplished so little with such a talented cast.
Bottom Line: A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III aspires to movies like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or Young Adult but it falls far short. The filmmakers want to explore the mind of an artist but their central character has nothing worthy of discovery in his head.

Lifestyle Tutoring for Kids
Lifestyle Tutoring for Kids is a website that aims to educate and build confidence in children, not only academically, but also personally and socially.
My wife, Carly and I have had successful careers as Primary School teachers both here in Australia and abroad, but we knew we wanted to make a difference on a bigger scale. Spending more time with our three girls is also a priority!
I was fortunate to have climbed the ladder in London where I was made Head of Junior School at the preparatory school at which I was working. More recently I was employed at one of Australia's leading independent schools where I jumped back on the ladder and was later shortlisted for the position of Headmaster at a different leading independent school.
It was here that we found ourselves at crossroads. Working in the independent system for many years, we knew that for those who could afford it there were lots of opportunities to help children succeed, whether through private tutoring, music lessons or extra sports coaching. Feeling that every child deserves a quality education and extra support if they wanted it, I left my teaching job to build Lifestyle Tutoring for Kids, an online Maths tutoring website that uses pre-recorded lessons to teach children (and their parents!) the correct way of doing Maths, as outlined in the new Australian curriculum.
Using a SmartBoard, I meticulously prepare each lesson so there is no waiting around while I 'write-up' sums. And through the use of a special camera I am able to do all the weighing and measuring with real weights and liquids!
Every lesson comes with a worksheet ready to be downloaded. Once I have taught the concept, I ask my students to pause the video so they can complete the worksheet. When ready to move on they press play and mark it immediately.
Each of the courses follow the Australian Curriculum and we have even set these up to mirror the 4 terms of the school year. At the end of each course there is a quiz. Once again I go through this paper with the students and have them mark their own work. They then decide which certificate to print out based on their effort and results.Your child is also awarded an online badge for completing the course.
How do we build confidence in children in other areas? Each child is sent a Lifestyle Tutoring folder to file all their worksheets safely. We also include a Lifestyle Routine Organiser. This helps your child to manage their time by providing a weekly timetable. It also asks them to set some goals in all areas of their lives - academic work, fitness/sport, music and hobbies.
The Lifestyle Success page encourages kids to video themselves achieving their goals like our 'black belt brothers' or Mackenzie, our Junior Girls Wakeboarding World Champion.
At the end of every lesson, I encourage your child to go and work on their goals and to spend time with their family in order to be the best person they can be!
Simon Rae, Director/Teacher
"Mr Rae was the first teacher to make me believe in myself. He helped me to see what I was capable of and was so nice. He definitely made a large impact on my education."
Noah - Student, Sydney
Once in a while you come across a teacher who has a special way of relating to his students calmly and kindly. Mr Rae managed to do this bringing the best out in them. He was genuinely respected and liked and I'm so grateful Noah had the opportunity to have him, as I feel he unlocked something that has had a profound impact on Noah's learning.
Tanya - Parent, Sydney
Simon taught our son Angus in Year 4, helping him through what was at the time a challenging transition to a new school. I can honestly say that Simon played a major role in helping Angus become the happy, confident and capable young man he is today, and we fondly remember Simon as one of the best teachers Angus has ever had.
Andrew - Parent, Sydney
Simon is a dedicated, caring and experienced educator who strives both to understand and cater for the individual needs of the students in his care. He builds a positive rapport with students, who respond to his structured, calm and systematic approach to learning.
Elizabeth - Learning Specialist, Sydney
Quite simply, Simon is one of the most outstanding teachers I have had the pleasure of working with in my 32 years in the independent sector.

Two of the prime terrorist suspects in the Benghazi attack have been captured (one is dead), dozens more have been arrested in Libya, and the suspect group is dispersed and hunted, with its Benghazi headquarters dismantled.
The essentials of the Benghazi attack on September 11 have been known and unchanging since the day after, as timelines by the Wall Street Journal and Associated Press attest: about 20 jihadists in a local militia, taking advantage of growing anger over an internet video, launched an organized attack on the consulate that killed two Americans and several Libyans in the course of about two hours (9:30-11:30 pm). A quick reaction force from the CIA annex nearby came to the consulate and took the American survivors back to the annex. While they, and Libyan forces, were preparing to evacuate the diplomatic personnel, there was a brief mortar attack (about 4 am) on the annex, killing two American SEALS.
All this was clear, in broad outline, from the original reporting. Three State Department emails leaked on October 24 told the same story.
Asked to explain what he meant, Sen. McCain, failed to explain what he thought believed was potentially being covered up.
The negative reaction to the handling of the Benghazi attack began on September 11, when Mitt Romney misrepresented the American response in Egypt to local unrest there due to the 14-minute Islamophobic video that had been translated into Arabic and shown on Egyptian television. Partisan Republicans have tried to make a political issue of the Benghazi attack ever since.
How Is Benghazi Worse Than Watergate?
One line of attack has been to portray the Obama administration's curiously inconsistent statements about Benghazi as a cover-up, with some characterizing it as worse than Watergate. Sean Hannity launched the cover-up meme on September 20 on Fox News, without explaining exactly what was being covered up or why, just that it would somehow help the president's re-election, presumably the way the Watergate cover-up helped Richard Nixon's re-election in 1972.
Another line of assertion by the administration's opposition said that the U.S. could have made an effective military response to the Benghazi attack while it was happening, but chose for some unexplained reason not to do so.
The American reinforcements enabled the remaining American diplomatic personnel to leave Benghazi safely.
At a multi-topic news briefing on October 25, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta responded to questions that included Benghazi. One questioner asked, "Why there was no military support earlier on the attack," which ignored available information on the length of the attack and the amount of military support that did respond during, and after, the two hour attack on the consulate.
The CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House all denied the Fox story.
If the administration's handling of the Benghazi attack is a cover-up more significant than Watergate, then what is being covered up? Based on the available evidence, it seems unlikely the administration is hiding a significant amount of information or a severe mishandling of the situation. Libya's future will be the only testament to the success or failure of the administration's foreign policies there.

Assam government to carry out eviction drive in Lumding Reserve Forest on Monday; Nearly 20000 illegal migrants encroached 1400 hectares forest land
by Dibya Kamal Bordoloi
Nov 7, 2021, 02:53 pm IST
Guwahati High Court directed to evict the encroachers in the forest areas by February 2022. Several hundreds of encroachers' families move out after the court order. The reserve forest was encroached during 2007-2015 under Congress rule.
Guwahati: As per the direction of the Guwahati High Court, the Assam government will carry out a huge eviction drive in Lumding area of Hojai district to clear the encroachment in Lumding Reserve forest. The Guwahati High court on 30th September 2021 directed the Assam government to clear the encroachment in the reserve forest in phase manner. A PIL was filed in the High Court by former MLA of Hojai Shiladitya Dev appealing the court to clear the huge encroachment in the reserve forest which is a large inhabited area of wild elephants and other wild animals. Passing a judgment on the PIL, the High Court directed the state government to evict the illegal settlers.
Assam government in its affidavit submitted in the High Court informed that nearly 1400 hectares of land are being encroached in the reserve forest. The court in its order directed the state government to clear the encroachment in three phases. Court ordered the state government to carry out the first eviction drive in October-November for 5 days. Likewise the second eviction drive to be carried out in November-December and the final and 3rd eviction drive to be carried out by January-February in 2022. As per the directive of the High Court, the Assam government will carry out the first eviction drive on Monday (08/11/21) Nakhuti area in the reserve forest. Former MLA of Hojai Siladitya Dev, who filed the PIL in the high court seeking eviction in the reserve forest, told "Organiser" that though the government data suggest that there are around 8000 encroachers in the forest, the actual numbers is around 16000 to 20000. Out of these 98 percent are illegal migrants or Bangladeshi. He said from 2007, during the
Congress rule, hundreds of Muslim families stated encroaching the reserve forest.
From 2007 to 2015 2000 plus families settled in the reserve forest and started cultivating ginger and turmeric there. They build several villages out there and keep expanding their encroachment. These people are now becoming voters of the constituency and they have changed the demography of the Lumding constituency. The Assam government is taking utmost precaution to evart any unwanted incident like in Dhalpur-Gorukhuti. Nearly 2000 police and para military forces have been deployed in the area. After the court order several hundreds of encroachers' families had moved out of the reserve forest, a government official said in Hojai. The state government held several rounds of discussions with Muslim organisations to coroporate with the eviction drive carried out as per the order of the High Court. On Monday the Hojai district administration will carry out an eviction drive in 500 hectares of land in the Nakhuti area of the reserve forest.

Lars van Doorn shortlisted for Daniël Heinsius Prize for the best master thesis
Lars van Doorn, research staff member at the Department of Economics at Leiden University, is shortlisted for the Daniël Heinsius Prize for the best master thesis of the Netherlands and Flanders.
This prize is jointly awarded by the Dutch Political Science Association (NKWP) and the Flemish Political Science Association (VPW). A jury of Dutch and Flemish scholars has nominated the best four master theses.
Winners and losers of globalisation
Lars van Doorn's thesis, written for the master Economics and Governance, contributes to an important debate in the political economy literature on welfare state reform: the association between globalisation and welfare state spending. There has been a long-lasting debate in the literature regarding the effect of globalisation on welfare state spending. Whereas some argue that globalisation and welfare state spending are in tension, others emphasize the positive relation between globalisation and welfare state spending. However, both arguments neglect the political conflict that underlies the relationship between globalisation and welfare state spending. Consequently, they overlook the diverging impact of globalisation across individual welfare programmes. Lars van Doorn, supervised by Olaf van Vliet and Koen Caminada, fills this gap in the literature by analysing the effect of globalisation on eight individual welfare programmes in fourteen OECD countries. This study's main theoretical contribution is the argument that the institutional structure of welfare programmes that are associated with both firm demands from the (potential) losers of globalisation and strong opposition from capital owners, mediates the relationship between globalisation and expenditure levels. Moreover, Lars van Doorn has constructed new variables based on large micro data sets from the Luxembourgh Income Studies. In this way, he is able to test his theoretical idea empirically. This is an excellent idea that could be published in a serious international academic journal.
Background Lars van Doorn
Lars van Doorn completed the master Economics and Governance cum laude at Leiden University. Prior to this programme, he obtained a bachelor's degree in political science from Leiden University and a master's degree in International Relations from the University of Amsterdam. Currently, Lars van Doorn works as a research staff member at the Department of Economics at Leiden University.

@zackle you forgot one condition it can treat: milky pink beards!
one of those nights, eh? hope you feel better.
reach for the grey stuff!
You look happy, not happy.
@arudd - not happy for 12 days now.
What's the deal? 12 days?
I'm glad @moo is on top of things. Way to go, @moo. 8 days with no pictures. SHAME!
Pepto Bismo? More like, Pepto Nearshame-o ... Am I right!?!?
What's 28 - 19? Why, it's 9.
A shame to be sure, but the math simply doesn't lie.
I don't think Pepto can help with the massive amount of SHAME that's due here.
9 days and the shame train is a little late. but it's coming!


"Without Men" …and Without Reason!
Dios mío! Where do I begin? I would like to preface this blog post by saying that I don't like to bash or badmouth anything I dislike, but this particular film is so tragically wrong, that I find myself forced by the spirits of some of Hollywood's Latino long-gone legends (Ricardo Montalban, Dolores Del Rio, Katy Jurado, Ricardo Arnaz, and Rita Hayworth) to dissuade you from watching Without Men by director Gabriela Tagliavini. The film is an adaptation of a novel written by James Canon.
The premise of the film is as follows according to iMDV: The women of a remote Latin American town are forced to pick up the pieces and remake their world when all the town's men are forcibly recruited by communist guerrillas.
While I'm a huge supporter of all things Latin, I think that Latino film makers in Hollywood with the exception of a very few, namely Robert Rodriguez, Guillermo del Toro and Carlos Saldanha, do Latino films for the sake of doing Latino-themed films… and that my friends, is simply and plainly called pandering to Latinos, which I find as trite and tiring as Lady Gaga pandering to "her" gays, as if she were their savior and only advocate.
Why can't Latino film makers make films with universal themes that appeal to all? With Latino actors, or not… but that are stories that anyone can relate to, without the obligatory and blatant Spanish/Latino pueblo setting, roosters and chickens, thick Spanish accents and brightly colored and exaggerated set designs and costumes? Why can't we have film makers that will appeal to other aspects of our rich heritage and stop making a caricature of the already tired Latino stereotype in this country?
For starters, the film takes place in some fictional town called "Mariquita," strike one for gay denigration (this word in Spanish is derogatory for gay). Second, all the actors speak English with some ridiculous thick Spanish accent, including Ms. Longoria, when in fact they should be speaking Spanish (that's what subtitles are for; let the bilingual impaired deal with it). And finally, the writing and the acting leave much to be desired. The story line is ludicrous and the acting, well, let's just say that some actors should stay in television, and others should really work on their acting skills. The script was mediocre at best and plain out ridiculous at worse.
The ONLY good thing that happened in that movie, was the moment in which there's an apparition, and I don't mean of a celestial body, but of the devil herself masterfully manifested in Kate Del Castillo, the ONLY reason I would have suffered through this experience, had the film not pixellated twice (it was filmed in digital format) before I walked out of it. Talk about personifying a character… she actually looked butcher than me and she was supposed to, she was the devil incarnated in her heavenly and womanly self! Now, that's what I call acting.
The film had an interesting cast, composed of, shall we say, Retro B-stars such as Paul Rodriguez and Maria Conchita Alonso, to A-Listers such as Kate del Castillo herself, Eva Longoria, Christian Slater, Cameron Manheim, and The Office's Oscar Nuñez. I was expecting to see Sofia Vergara, Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, Rita Moreno, Benjamin Bratt, Elizabeth Peña and Esai Morales jump out of the screen as well, since the film practically was oozing "Latinoness" from every angle possible.
Why Eva Longoria would do this film? well, desperate times call for desperate measures I suppose, but Kate del Castillo? Honey, you're coming off a tidal Tsunami wave with La Reina del Sur, I'm sure this was your community service for the year and I commend you for it, but quite frankly, you don't need it, not after your Reina del Sur mega hit, and your previous work in Hollywood, e.g. Under the Same Moon, Julia, Trade, and Weeds! Don't do it again…you're much better than that, and you know it.
I think Latinos in Hollywood need to watch more film makers south of the border to see the universal themes being captured, without the unnecessary use of Latino themes per se… I don't wear zarapes or "espeak wiss an ascent," come on guys, it's a de-service to all Latinos. We know who we are, and we don't need to be constantly reminded of the burros and roosters, and the Latino parody that is already perpetuated by mainstream Hollywood.
Give us stories of real Latinos: struggling college students, high-powered attorneys, politicians, surgeons, scientists, and corporate leaders with human interest stories, but above all, give us great story telling, like the great directors of Mexico's Golden Age of Cinema. Learn from the past and apply it to the complex American Latino of the present… make it believable.
Until then, we will continue to be just that, a caricature, an ongoing joke of what "Mainstream America" thinks Latinos all look like. Ya basta! We don't need it from Latino film makers.
That looks horrible!! I've got to say, however, that as bad as it may have been it's your duty to stay through to the end if you plan on writing a review of the movie. I know the chances are a million to one, but there might be at least a few redeeming qualities worth mentioning elsewhere in this disaster. I've only ever seen Kate Del Castillo in one other film, the almost equally horrendous and downright sugary "Bajo La Misma Luna." Now that was schmaltz! When Hollywood tries to make films directed at the Latino market they fail miserably.
Yes Samn. I think we need more Gregory Navas… the Latin Scorcesse's of the world if you will.

Steve Carell Attached to Star in Looney Tunes Spinoff Based on the Acme Corporation
Here's some news we never expect to report today... Warner Bros. is planning a spinoff of their classic Looney Tunes franchise that would be based on Acme Corp. - the company which Wile E. Coyote and others use to buy their anvils, dynamite and earthquake pills - and would Steve Carell. And, before you ask, no, there won't actually be any Looney Tunes characters in the movie. Huh?
THR reports that Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, who last wrote 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', are currently writing the script for directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (who directed Carell in 'Crazy Stupid Love'). The film, which would take place in the Acme warehouse, is described as "a live-action CG hybrid featuring the many outlandish devices of the company in a tone that recalls the Amblin pics of the 1980s or a Men in Black-style movie." We should repeat that there won't be any actual Looney Tunes characters in the movie, but, as all good studio movies are wont to do these days, it's expected to "launch a franchise."
It's unclear what character Carell (who is widely expected to be nominated for his first Oscar later this year for his work in 'Foxcatcher') would play in this film, but we'd expect some kind of CEO type. We're guessing if it's a CG hybrid, there will probably be new characters introduced, but...why introduce new characters when you have Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote and the like?
Now, before we go too crazy, we should note that both Ficarra and Requa are part of the newly-installed Warner Bros. Animation Brain Trust, which also includes Nicholas Stoller ('Neighbors') and Phil Lord and Chris Miller ('The LEGO Movie'). So, to immediately dismiss this as a terrible idea (which, trust me, we are tempted to do), may be a bit rash. It wouldn't been easy to dismiss a movie about LEGOs, but somehow that's one of the biggest and best movies of the year so far. Maybe Ficarra and Requa could do the same here.

Music: Jim Croce - "Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels)"
SLIFF count: 20 feature films seen in the theatre since last Saturday afternoon. All of 'em enjoyed to varying degrees. Somehow I worked in an appearance on Jeopardy!, a Chuck Berry concert, a trivia win, and bowling league night in there, too. Still to see: 8 feature films and a shorts program before tomorrow evening. Come on out and see a movie with me!
The St. Louis Art Museum is a lot of things, and a lot of GREAT things, but it is a TERRIBLE place to see a movie (at least, in the main auditorium there). Or maybe it was the print of Saving Grace B. Jones? I don't know, but the sound especially was TERRIBLE. Why didn't they do that screening at the Hi-Pointe? More seats (it was sold out), better sound, larger screen, cooler theatre, concessions, et cetera. I guess it is possible/probable that the Hi-Pointe does not have DVD-screening ability or something? I feel relatively confident the print we saw was just a DVD. The movie was not even close to among my favorites of this year's festival, and I admit I mostly went only so I could try to get Connie Stevens to autograph my Connie Stevens CD (which didn't even come close to working out because I bolted from the theatre as soon as the movie was over in order to see The Missing Person, which Ryan Samul shot and which I thought was rather tight). Art Museum to Plaza Frontenac in 12 minutes, baby!
Wellp, I have a movie to catch at 10AM for FREE! I think today is the biggest SLIFF day yet (five full movies and a short).

The bike rolls so easily. It's like riding on the flat or slightly downhill without worrying about a headwind or an incline.
I find myself not content with just a ride around the block for some exercise … I want to go to the next town.. or the one after that.
40 or 50 km easy and when I get to a destination.. it is easy to stow for a trip back in anyone's car.
You don't get grease on you.
It goes fast and the smartphone app shows you that and charge, and select modes and more, right there while your riding.
This bike in a word; Fun!
Interested in learning more? We recommend you watch this quick review video to give you a better idea of the bike, and its design. As well as its many features.
Warning though; you will have lots of people asking about it when you pull up because its style is so 21st century and people don't even know its electric.


TM and © DC ComicsPhoto by Ron Phillips(NEW YORK) -- Director Christopher Nolan's 2008 film The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale as the caped crusader and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, is the best superhero movie of all time, according to a new survey by Ranker.com.
More than 7,000 respondents were asked to rank movies about superheroes, including masked vigilantes, costumed crime fighters, and peace protectors.
Nolan's 2005 flick, Batman Begins, is ranked second. The director's third Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises, is fifth.
This year's superman movie, Man of Steel, comes in at number 25.
The survey ranks a total of 113 movies. Alec Baldwin's 1994 film, The Shadow, was at the bottom of the list. He played the title character, a 1930s crime-fighting vigilante.
Twenty years later -- in Astonishing X-Men, issue 50 set to hit stores on Wednesday -- Northstar will propose to longtime boyfriend Kyle. The two are set to marry in June.
Marvel and rival DC Entertainment have focused on bringing a more realistic flavor to its characters. DC recently announced that it would relaunch one of its major characters as gay in June. Marvel introduced Miles Morales, the first half-black, half-Hispanic Spider-Man last year.
Marvel made the announcement Tuesday morning on The View on ABC, but it has been the subject of fan speculation for some time.
Axel Alonso, the editor-in-chief of Marvel Entertainment, said the story line was developed around the time New York state legalized gay marriage in June 2011.
"The Marvel Universe has always reflected the world outside your window, so we strive to make sure our characters, relationships and stories are grounded in reality," Alonso said.
In the issue, Northstar makes his intentions known to Kyle in New York's Bryant Park, a very public place for these very private people.
"Well, private enough for a mutant celebrity -- having such a public, life-changing discussion," said Marjorie Liu, who wrote the issue.
The scene shows Northstar out of costume and down on one knee with a ring in hand discussing some of what they've gone through as a superhero couple.
The cover of next month's Astonishing X-Men issue 51 includes an all-star cast for Northstar's and Kyle's ceremony.
"Yes, there will be some fun guests at the wedding, but not everyone will accept the invitation," Liu said.
"DC and Marvel are recognizing that there is an LGBT audience that has been reading their comics for years," said Matt Kane, associate director of entertainment and media for GLAAD.
DC's most prominent gay characters include Batwoman, who has her own series; Apollo and Midnighter, who appear in Stormwatch; and Bunker, a member of Teen Titans.
Aside from its being socially relevant -- the addition of gay characters makes good business sense.
Archie Comics introduced a gay character in 2010, which turned out to be a hit for the company. There was even a gay wedding in Riverdale in 2011.
"They are recognizing how the world is evolving," said Kane.
PRNewsFoto/DC Entertainment(NEW YORK) -- For the first time, a major comic book character won't be ambiguously gay anymore.
DC Comics, whose portfolio includes such iconic characters as Batman and Robin, Superman and Wonder Woman, plans next month to reintroduce one of its major superheroes as openly gay.
"One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June," Courtney Simmons, DC Entertainment's senior vice president of publicity, confirmed to ABC News.
So which one is it? The folks at DC Comics aren't saying, but they do say it's the latest effort to make sure their comics keep up with the times.
Last September, DC Comics relaunched its entire line of comic books to feature an updated look and a new lineup of LGBT superheroes: including Voodoo, an African American bisexual woman and Batwoman, an open lesbian.
Batwoman garnered DC comics an Outstanding Comic Book award from GLAAD, an advocacy and watchdog organization for LGBT issues.
Aside from making good business sense, Kane said younger readers are perfectly comfortable with gay characters and expect to see their peers represented.
Although DC Comics' plans to reintroduce a major character as gay is new, gay characters in comic books are not.
Marvel Comic's Northstar was revealed to be in a gay relationship back in 2009. Archie Comics introduced a gay character in 2010, and there was a gay wedding in Riverdale in 2011.
Rumors are swirling that Northstar too is expected to tie the knot to his boyfriend Kyle.


Fingers and toes can literally freeze if exposed to severe cold. Here's how to spot the signs and symptoms of frostbite and help a patient recover safely.
Get the patient into a shelter. Do not warm the affected area unless there is no risk of refreezing. Do not remove her gloves or shoes if she is likely to have to walk any further.
Tell the patient to put her hands in her armpits to warm them up gently using her own body warmth. She can put her feet in your armpits to warm them up.
Once you are inside, remove the patient's gloves or shoes and place her hands or feet in warm water. Try to remove rings and jewelry (do not force this, though). Dry the affected area and wrap it in a loose, dry, non-fluffy bandage.
The patient should be taken to the hospital. If she is in pain, she can take the recommended dose of her normal pain relief tablet, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
As the skin is warmed up, it may become bright red, feel hot, and be very painful. If the tissues are damaged, the affected area may turn black because of a lack of blood supply to the area.

THE freezing temperatures are not putting women off topping up their tans and dreaming of the summer months, according to a salon owner in Harefield.
Amy Jordan, who own OxyTan, in High Street, Harefield, reported a busy day yesterday (Thursday) as the big freeze continues to bite.
She said: "We have still had customers in, 10 minutes on a sunbed can really warm you up, which is what everybody needs.
"We are not having appointments, but more people just dropping in, it may be because people can't get to work and are looking for something to do locally.
"I even went on a sunbed myself yesterday, and it really does feel nice and warm, everybody who comes in has been really cheery."
However it was not all good news for the tanning salon, with the business having to close at 11am on Wednesday because of the heavy snow.
"I was worried I might be snowed in and unable to get home, if it gets that heavy again over the coming days I will have to do the same."
How have you been keeping warm in the big freeze? E-mail editorialuxbridge@trinitysouth.co.uk or call 01895451000.


Wolfgang "Wolf" Falck was born on 19 August 1910 at Berlin. Falck's aeronautical and military career began as a member of the Reichswehr, the modest Army allowed Germany under the Versailles Treaty, in April 1931. He was selected, along with 29 of the Army's brightest young men, for training at the clandestine Luftvehrschule at Schleissheim, near Munich and later, on Russian territory at Lipetsk, south of Moscow. He began his flying training in April 1932. When he came back to Germany, he rejoined his Regiment at Schweidnitz. From 1 February 1933, he attended the Infantry School at Dresden for officer training. Falck was promoted to the rank of Leutnant on 1 October 1934. He was able continue flying by undertaking an annual six week refresher course on Arado Ar 64 biplane fighters at Schleissheim. In March 1935, Leutnant Falck became Kettenführer (pilot instructor) at the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule at Schleissheim in the new Luftwaffe. On 1 April 1936, Falck was promoted to the rank of Oberleutnant and transferred to JG 132 Richtofen, where he became Staffelkapitän of 5. Staffel, based at Jüterbog-Damm. On 1 July 1938, when III./JG 132 was established, Falck was appointed Staffelkapitän of 8. Staffel, based at Fürstenwalde. The new Gruppe was later redesignated I./ZG 76 and equipped with the then new Bf 110 Zerstörer twin-engine fighter. Falck led 2./ZG 76 during the Polish campaign from its base at Ohlau in Silesia. He gained three victories over Polish aircraft before the unit was relocated to Jever on the German Bight. Here he took part in the air battle with RAF Wellington twin-engine bombers attacking Wilhelmshaven on 18 December 1939. He claimed two of the bombers shot down, although one of his claims was not confirmed, but force-landed on Wangerooge after return fire from the gunners of the bombers damaged his engines. On 19 February 1940, Hauptmann Falck was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of I./ZG 1, based at Düsseldorf. The Gruppe was relocated to Barth on the Baltic coast at the beginning of April. On 9 April, Falck led the unit in the invasion of Denmark. He recorded his seventh, and final, victory when he shot down a Danish Fokker C V recce plane (R-49) belonging to the 5. eskadrille that was taking off from Vaerlöse airfield. It was while he was based at Aalborg in the north of Denmark that Falck, following the unmolested bombing of the airfield by RAF bombers in the pre-dawn hours, prepared a comprehensive report on the theories of night interception. I./ZG 1 participated in the battle for France and, with that campaign successfully concluded, against the RAF from a base near Le Havre. However General Kesselring ordered Falck to withdraw the Gruppe to Düsseldorf and reform the unit in the night fighter role.

Thus Falck became Kommodore of NJG 1 on 26 June 1940. Major Falck received the Ritterkreuz on 7 October 1940. He was to lead NJG 1 for three years and five days but his legacy was to establish, in partnership with General Josef Kammhuber, an effective night fighter force. On 1 July 1943, Falck was promoted to the rank of Oberst and transferred to Generalstab as Kammhuber's representative at the Luftwaffenführungsstab. The Falck/Kammhuber partnership was dissolved when they failed to agree on the direction of the night fighter arm. Falck was appointed to a position with the Luftwaffenbefehlshaber Mitte responsible for the day and night fighter defence of the Reich, based at Berlin. He held the position until the abortive bomb plot against Hitler in July 1944. He then approached Adolf Galland and was appointed Jagdfliegerführer Balkan based at Pancevo near Belgrade in June 1944. He arrived in Belgrade the day Romania switched sides in the war. Five days later Bulgaria followed suit. Falck was forced to withdraw to Vienna.Falck was to become General Flieger-Ausbildung, responsible for all the Luftwaffe training schools, shortly thereafter. However on 1 March 1945, he was given an assignment commanding fighters in the Rhineland. He was destined never to take up the command, eventually becoming a prisoner of the Americans on 3 May 1945 in Bavaria. He was released on 7 June. Post war Falck undertook a variety of jobs including farming and working for a pharmaceutical company. He even worked for the British Army as a Civil Officer at the stores section of the 47th Royal Engineers! He attended night school and studied business, which resulted in his gaining a role selling playing cards. In 1961, after becoming the manager of the company, he was approached by North American Aviation to undertake aviation consultancy work. In 1966, he joined McDonnell Douglas. On retirement from business in 1986, he lived in St Ulrich in Austria. He continued his love of flying post war, joining many flying clubs.
Wolfgang Falck is credited with seven victories in about 90 missions, all gained while flying the Bf 110. All his victories were scored in daylight.
