Westchester Pavilion Redevelopment Project Gets Green Light
The vacant Westchester Pavilion in White Plains, a largely vacant 185,000 square foot enclosed mall which originally housed the old Alexander's department store, is set to receive a $275 million facelift after the White Plains Common Council voted last week to move ahead with an ambitious redevelopment plan. The site, at 60 South Broadway, will be transformed into an 857,585 mixed-use commercial and residential property, featuring two 24-story residential towers (707 residential units total, including 43 affordable units) and 93,840 square feet of commercial space, including retail and restaurants. The project's developer, known as Broadway and Maple Holdings LLC, is an affiliate of the Miami-based real estate firm Lennar Corp. As part of the project, a recreation and parks impact fee will be assessed for the residential units, creating $2.33 million to be used to enhance or develop city parks and playgrounds.
Astorino Pow-Wows With Business Council At Board of Directors Meeting
Unfunded mandates, soaring public pensions, and efforts to raise the minimum wage were among the hot topics discussed at a Board of Directors meeting of the Business Council of Westchester held January 28 featuring special guest County Executive Robert P. Astorino. In his overview of the county's budget, Astorino noted that 75 percent of the $1.8 billion budget is for mandated programs leaving only 25 percent for discretionary spending. "Mandates are out of control," he said. He also said soaring public pension costs are hurting the county and local municipalities. He noted that public pensions in New York are guaranteed a 7 percent annual return regardless of downturns in the market. On the controversial issue of raising the minimum hourly wage in New York State to $15, Astorino said it "will definitely put businesses out of business," and added, "Fifteen dollars an hour is a completely arbitrary number with real negative impacts." He urged BCW members to oppose the legislation. John Ravitz, Executive Vice President and COO of the BCW, said that the minimum wage issue will be a top priority when a delegation of BCW members travels to Albany on February 24 for the Annual Lobby Day to meet with legislators.
From left: BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz; BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon; County Executive Robert P. Astorino and BCW Chairman Anthony Justic
Astorino outlined what his administration is doing to keep the county's fiscal house in order noting that there has been no increase in county tax levy for the past six years, which he said helps keep spending in check. On the economic development front, 2015 was a record year for the County's Industrial Development Agency (IDA), which supported 14 projects with total private investment of more than $842 million. Looking ahead to 2016, Astorino outlined plans recently announced by Fareri Associates to develop a $1.2 billion bioscience and technology center on 60 acres of vacant county land adjacent to the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.
IDA Announces Funds for Mamaroneck TOD Project and White Plains Affordable Housing
County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced last week that Westchester's Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has approved support for a new 21-unit rental apartment building in Mamaroneck's Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zone. The $6.53 million project will create 40 construction jobs and 6 permanent jobs. The project, which is being developed by Comstock Residential Contracting, LLC, is designed to attract Millennials from New York City to live and work in Westchester County. The building includes 2,500 square feet of commercial space as well as two affordable residential units.
The IDA also approved a bond issuance that will allow the White Plains Housing Authority (WPHA) to convert a 95-unit public housing development to a Section 8 affordable housing community. The $23.5 million project will create 35 construction and permanent jobs. Located at 120 Lake Street, the Lakeview Apartment Community is nearly fully occupied and has a substantial waiting list. The WPHA, which owns the 85,150-square-foot building, has received approval from the HUD to convert the building to Section 8 housing. A new tax credit entity, Lakeview Apartments LLC, will acquire the property from WPHA. Repairs and renovations to the 95 units will take about 12 months to complete.
Business Council Announces Hall of Fame Awardees
Six local businesses will be honored at the 2016 Business Hall of Fame Awards Dinner on Tuesday, April 19 at the Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. The Business Council of Westchester announced the honorees last week, and they are:
• Corporate Citizenship: Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. Michael Israel, President and CEO, to accept the award.
• Entrepreneurial Success: Steiner Sports in New Rochelle. Brandon Steiner, Founder and CEO, to accept the award.
• Small Business Success: The Westchester Bank in White Plains. John Tolomer, President and CEO, to accept the award.
• Women in Business Success: Wendy Wollner, Founder & President, Balancing Life's Issues, Inc.

Northern Westchester Hospital Kicks Off Its Centennial Year
More than 150 guests, physicians, board members, employees, volunteers, elected officials, supporters, and artists gathered at Northern Westchester Hospital late last month to launch its centennial year and to celebrate 100 years of care. Both the executive and legislative branches of Westchester County government declared January 21, 2016 as Northern Westchester Hospital Day in Westchester. A ribbon cutting ceremony unveiled a new interactive timeline, a touch screen with video vignettes and audio, which takes visitors through the evolution of 100 years of care in the community. The digital timeline includes key milestones for the hospital such as expansions, technological advances, partnerships, and key moments in medical history. "Of course, so much has happened between our humble beginnings in 1916 and today: advancements in technology, our enhanced clinical capabilities, the growth and modernization of our campus, and most importantly, the positive impact we continue to have on the people who live in our community," said Joel Seligman, the Hospital's President and CEO.

Catering to Nobody...


Greetings from Hong Kong. I made it in from Vancouver last night and will be flying on to Mumbai shortly to begin the first leg of an extended tour in India.
I'm very excited about this trip. I haven't been to India in many years—in fact, the last time I was there was right after I started writing this blog way back in 2008.
This is also my first experience in presenting the ideas and stories from The $100 Startup to a crowd that is primarily cross-cultural. I don't expect that everything from the U.S. or "the western world" applies elsewhere, and I try to position myself as a learner. At the same time, however, I also believe that the ability to start a successful microbusiness and earn a good living on your own is increasingly becoming universal.
India is a nation of entrepreneurs with many people earning their own incomes and making their own way. It will be interesting to see how these things play out over talks in five cities over the next ten days. Jolie is with me on this trip, and we're eager to explore a country we have both long admired.
You can sign up for free tickets (no need to print them) and reminders on the tour site. Books will be available for sale at all events.
As mentioned last week, I'll be making some changes in the Unconventional Guides business soon. Change is good. Therefore, this is your final reminder of the once-a-year holiday sale. (Stock up now! Lowest prices in history! Etc. etc.).

Why do most active equity mutual funds underperform?
The common perception is that active funds lag for two reasons: Poor stock-picking skills and high management fees.
But not according to Thomas Howard, Emeritus Professor of Finance at the University of Denver and CEO/Research Director of AthenaInvest. He has explored this question extensively and has reached an interesting conclusion.
Howard's research rejects that core premise and states that 90% of active equity funds have superior stock-picking skills; meanwhile, the best performing funds are the most likely to justify higher fees.
Howard concludes in a soon-to-be reviewed academic paper that the primary culprits are portfolio management attributes that overshadow stock-picking prowess. This means that funds are managed by great active stock-pickers, but a series of business and management decisions at the portfolio level along with outside market factors create performance drag against benchmarks.
Howard identified three true drivers of underperformance. And his work has the potential to provide actionable insight to portfolio managers and traders seeking to produce alpha. Howard explains that his latest research is designed to help allocators and investors identify funds with the ability to outperform the market and reduce susceptibility to portfolio drag.
Steeped in Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) when he left University of Washington with a Ph.D. in finance, Howard says new evidence on market behavior contradicted his education. Though he taught MPT early on, he embraced behavioral finance and has written several books and countless studies on the topic. His syllabus would reflect that evolution during his 30 years in the classroom.
But his personal work and research took a major turn about 10 years ago when a friend who ran a mutual fund asked a subtle question about closet indexing.
"My friend asked, 'Why do they want to keep putting me in a style box?'" Howard says, referring to the graphical representation of a mutual fund's characteristics and strategy. His colleague had strong performance and a narrowly defined strategy. But clients and industry professionals kept seeking style box classification for his fund.
From that question, Howard launched a research product that grew to become his firm, AthenaInvest, which has broadened his focus on the issue of "active vs. passive" and the performance of active managers.
"I didn't expect much to happen with this area of research on style boxes, but this is a project that just keeps on giving and produces new ideas. The first major thing that we determined is the effect of a style box on performance. If you ask a manager to stay in a style box, he will underperform by as much as 300 basis points," Howard says.
That discovery prompted a series of new questions to explore, including how the industry categorizes managers.
With thousands of funds in existence, Athena built a patented strategy framework that identifies what a manager does, how he does it and what is important to him. This allows the firm to cluster managers with other managers that do similar things. Next, the firm continued to examine performance until it reached an important conclusion—one that is the subject of Howard's latest research on why most equity mutual funds underperform and how investors can identify the ones that do outperform the markets.
That conclusion is important for two reasons: First, it ensures that entire generations of mutual fund managers weren't wasting years of time and training. It also justified the very basic reality that the human mind can beat the market, and violated a widely held belief and large body of literature based on studies of aggregate active equity fund performance that suggest that active managers lack stock-picking skill.
But, with so many funds underperforming their passive counterparts, who are the culprits?
"It's not the stock-picking skill that is missing. It's not the high explicit fees. It's the fact that these funds – after picking stocks—go through a series of management decisions that ultimately destroy their performance. It is due to a variety of non-performance-related business and regulatory pressures that lead to building underperforming portfolios," he says.
Howard states in his soon-to-be released research that several recent studies show that truly active funds—not the ones that designate themselves as active but also are in the habit of taking high conviction positions—do outperform their closet-indexing counterparts. And portfolio drag—the negative effect on performance that is most commonly attributed to fees—has been accelerated by three other distinct factors.
As a result, Howard's team used these metrics to create a new way to quantify portfolio drag and provide a system to identify the best-performing funds, all while displacing the common belief that active managers lack skill.
They call it the Portfolio Drag Index (PDI).
When it comes to a mutual fund's performance, bigger is not always better.
Howard argues that asset bloat is the most obvious factor affecting performance of active stock-pickers. Why funds get too large isn't a mystery given the incentives provided by an industry that rewards managers by paying them a percentage of assets under management. The more money a fund attracts, the more money the manager receives from annual fees.
Few incentives to remain small exist, but Howard's research indicates that smaller is indeed better.
Howard suggests that many managers would prefer to stay on their own in order to stay lean and successful. Again, it all comes down to incentives and a measurement of risk versus reward.
"These are powerful incentives and these have driven the industry into this situation [where asset bloat is such a driver of portfolio drag]," he says.
Addressing the associated impact of asset bloat on portfolio drag starts with the primary issue of how compensation is structured. Too much bloat will lead to poor performance and offers no clear benefit to investors.
"Unfortunately the current compensation arrangement has been fabulously successful in creating value— destroying PDI Group 5 funds, which now make up nearly 50% of industry AUM," Howard explains.
The style box has become largely popular in recent years thanks to research provider Morningstar's placement alongside its one-to-five-star rating system. These boxes offer a visual representation of nine, equal-sized boxes to characterize a fund's investment objective. Although Morningstar's Don Phillips has been credited with its invention, Howard says it can be traced back to Frank Russell and Bill Sharp in 1984.
According to Howard, the initial equity concept was divided into four boxes: Small and large cap, and low PE and high PE. However, that small theoretical concept evolved into something few had envisioned.
Once the industry widely accepted style boxes as a proper measuring stick, the rigidity of such classifications would remain and ultimately have a quantified impact on performance, as much as 300 basis points according to Howard's initial research. In fact, the managers are unlikely to use them outside of a brief conversation.
However, the industry expectation is for the manager to invest according to the benchmark and remain within a designated style box. Doing so ensures they can obtain a fund rating.
Meanwhile, the ongoing expectation that managers remain within their style box makes it very difficult to aim for optimal returns. This opens up the potential for, and benefits, to style drift.
Howard concludes that superior long-term performance cannot be delivered to investors without short-term under- and over-performance.
Fixing this problem likely wouldn't be difficult, and it's sorely needed because, according to his research, closet-indexing is the most destructive aspect of portfolio drag. Howard argues funds should eliminate R-square requirements and shift focus away from short-term performance metrics and tracking errors.
Finally, the continuous obsession with diversification is fueling increased portfolio drag, particularly as funds asset bloat. Howard states that as a fund sees an increase in assets, its number of new stock prospects shrinks and transaction costs increase. This creates a challenge for managers to maintain the fund's investment style.
"The evidence in our research--and others have said this as well--there are only 10 to 20 best ideas out there for a manager. Strategies are unique. Pretty much every manager has a different way of selecting stocks. So we really want managers to focus on their best ideas, and not on their bad ideas," he said.
Apparently, some have taken issue with the fact that pushing beyond a specific metric that has proven to create drag has raised eyebrows from members of the financial community.
The less-is-more approach also opens an important discussion about the differences between concentration and conviction and the associated benefits of each philosophy. Many investors—and managers—don't steep themselves in understanding the effect on performance.
Under the 40 Act, any mutual fund has a decision whether to register as an "non-diversified" or "diversified" investment company (the vast majority choose the latter designation). This standard requires that with at least 75% of the portfolio, the fund cannot invest more than 5% in the securities of any single issuer (e.g., Apple).
In addition, no single investment can comprise more than 10% of any issuer's total outstanding voting stock. Most funds diversify more than the regulatory standards require. That means, most of the funds extend beyond the 10 to 20 good ideas that fit an individual strategy.
Make it attractive for funds to focus on their best ideas and avoid investing in low conviction stocks.
A small number of stocks is all that are needed for proper diversification and investing in stocks beyond that number hurts performance.
Howard's team argues that because portfolio drag is such a critical factor in performance, a metric should help investors define which funds are susceptible.
The team introduced the Portfolio Drag Index (PDI), which he says is predictive of subsequent fund alpha and future fund flows. As the PDI increases, both alpha and flows decline quickly.
Thus an effective way to identify funds with the best chance of subsequently outperforming—and also generating positive flows—is to focus on those with the lowest PDI, more specifically, those with a PDI of less than 40.
What qualities do the sub-40 PDI funds have in common?
"You want small funds pursuing a narrowly defined strategy consistently in taking high-conviction positions," Howard says.
This seems simple, but Howard notes that it may not be the most popular among investors, as certain emotional barriers may end up affecting the judgement of both investors and fund managers.
"Investors look at this and say, I want big well-known funds," he says. "You get the same thing with equity investors who want to own Apple and Google [despite strong performance in small cap stocks]. This is very common across all classes. It's unbelievable. During a recent hedge fund conference, a presenter explained that the small funds ($200 million to $400 million) outperform the larger funds. But the next thing she said was that all of the new, smaller funds are investing into the large funds. People just can't help themselves. Building superior portfolios is straight-forward, but emotionally challenging. We think of our emotions as a giant barrier. Superior performance is there. If you can master your emotions, these opportunities exist," he says.
In fact, the opportunities emerged through his research. As Howard noted, the top funds do not asset bloat, don't closet-index, and don't over diversify. When it comes to their PDI measurement, some dramatically outperform. Following this discussion, Howard outlined the top 10 funds that maintained a PDI of 20 or less over his firm's sample period. "No bloat" (below) list these funds in alphabetical order.
As Howard notes, these funds all had a low PDI for at least 24 months during AthenaInvest's sample period, and the associated alpha figures provide a metric of subsequent performance.
For all 80 funds meeting these criteria during our sample period, fees averaged 1.43%; drag averaged 0.69% and alpha averaged 2.04%, while 63% of the funds outperformed.
Moving forward, AthenaInvest's goal is to establish a platform with the goal of making the data available to everyone. If someone wants to calculate the PDI of a particular fund, they will be able to visit the firm's site.
Howard is currently awaiting additional review of his team's research and plans to release his paper and associated findings to investors.

"Grab your culture and walk with the global": Ladakhi students' negotiation of cultural identity in the context of globalization-based acculturation
Simon Ozer, Preben Bertelsen, Rashmi Singla, Seth J. Schwartz
The globalization-based acculturation process in the Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh represents a highly complex network of intercultural interactions. Ladakhi youth negotiate their cultural orientation and identity in relation both (a) to indirect intercultural exposure through media and (b) to intermittent cultural contact through tourism in Ladakh. Additionally, many Ladakhi students take sojourns in large Indian cities. Like other Eastern populations exposed to cultural globalization, young Ladakhis are influenced by several local and global cultural streams. Within this acculturative process, Ladakhi youth are caught between ambiguous societal pressures toward both tradition and change. Through in-depth interviews, in the present study we investigated the negotiations of eight Ladakhi students' cultural identity in Leh (Ladakh) and Delhi. In doing so, we drew pragmatically on theories of multiculturalism and dialogical self. Participants reported negotiating their cultural identity through dialogue between various personal, cultural, religious, and social voices, where these voices require selectively incorporating various cultural elements within the parameters established by societal constraints. Results indicate the vast complexity and dynamics within the Ladakhi acculturation process, with multiple interacting cultural streams, religions, and significant sociohistorical factors calling for an in-depth qualitative approach to elucidate the processes underlying globalization-based acculturation.

Minor hockey a community affair in Prince Edward County
This story was published in the Fall 2022 edition of Total Sports Quinte magazine
Story by Jeff Gard/Total Sports Quinte
Prince Edward County Minor Hockey is about communities coming together. Local arenas are the meeting place.
In fact, that's how the association was started as a result of amalgamation between the former Picton Minor Hockey Association and Wellington Minor Hockey Association for the 1990-91 season. Both organizations had less than 350 active players by the late 1980's. Three years following the merger, the number of players had grown above 550.
Players are getting set for the 2022-23 season at Lehigh Arena in Wellington and the Prince Edward Community Centre in Picton.
"We are very excited to hopefully have a more normal hockey season here," said PECMHA president Heather Zantingh. "We have started tryouts for rep hockey and dust off the rust skates for local league players."
Rep tryouts began in early September for some Prince Edward County Kings teams and concluded late in the month. The Kings compete in the OMHA's Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League at the U11, U13, U15 and U18 age levels.
In 2020, the Kings won the Ontario Minor Hockey Association U15 'B' championship as COVID-19 was emerging and the following season was disrupted.
Three teams (U11, U15 and U18) from Prince Edward County advanced to last year's new OMHA Championship Weekend with the U18 group playing its way into the semifinals. The Kings teams are looking forward to another successful season.
House league, known as Local League, had registration open until Oct. 1. from under-7 to under-18.
Local League teams in the County compete against Stirling, Deseronto, Napanee, Gananoque and Loyalist.
"Local League teams practice and play in what we have named ICHL (Inter-Community Hockey League) to give them more exposure to other teams and make it more fun for all our players by doing some travelling," Zantingh said, adding that a lot of the coaches enter their team into at least one tournament during the season.
PECMHA hosts tournaments of its own as well, starting the 11th annual Prince Edward County Milk Tournament, sponsored by Recharge with Milk, from Oct. 28 to 30.
All divisions are full as the tournament was offered to teams from U11 to U18 and in the rep categories of BB, B, CC, C, DD and D.
"There will be some great hockey from players U11 to U18," Zantingh said. "It takes great volunteers to make this event and we are very grateful to the milk producers for sponsoring us for the 11th year."
Sponsors are so key for organizations to run. For instance there's the atomMC divisions sponsored by McDonalds.
Of course, has Tim Hortons has been a longtime sponsor of the U7 players, known as Timbits.
"We are committed to making a meaningful difference in our communities. This includes our Timbits Hockey program that has been running for over 30 years now," said Paul Massey, owner of Tim Hortons restaurants in Picton and Wellington. "More than 96,000 players participated last season, with over 2,100 right here in the Quinte and Northumberland region alone. As the hockey season kicks off, we're on track to surpass that number already!"
Zantingh added "we are lucky in the County to have great sponsors for all our divisions."
She also lauded the work of all volunteers from executive members to coaches, bench staff and more "that work endless hours to make our season great." She noted the popular U5 – Intro to Hockey program that fills up fast each year and is run by Darren and Debbie Yuill.
"They are amazing volunteers who have run this program for so many years for us," Zantingh remarked. "We could not do it without them and they have started so many young players into hockey."

Nottingham Forest have appointed Frank McParland as the Championship club's new director of football.
McParland, 57, has worked with Premier League sides Liverpool and Burnley, as well as Watford and Bolton Wanderers.
Most recently, Liverpool-born McParland was in Glasgow working for Rangers, for their former boss Mark Warburton, who he had also worked with at Brentford.
Warburton, 54, has been strongly been linked with the vacant manager's position at the City Ground.
McParland effectively replaces Pedro Pereira, who left the club back in October.
As well as his job as Academy director at Liverpool, he was chief scout at Watford, general manager at Bolton, sporting director at both Brentford and Burnley and then head of recruitment at Rangers.
Meanwhile, Forest have announced a new four-and-a-half-year deal for teenage midfielder Matty Cash.
Cash, 19, who has already made 33 first-team appearances, is now tied to Forest until the summer of 2021.
He missed two months of this season after fracturing a bone below his knee in the 2-2 Championship draw at Aston Villa in September.
This is a significant step for the club. Many fans have criticised a lack of structure over recent years.
Anything that helps to correct this is to be welcomed.

2010 The Martian Manhunter Archives Volume 6 Table of Contents by Tom Hartley
Click To Load PDF
I would have been all over the previous volumes of The Martian Manhunter Archives for the recolored, remastered artwork on glossy stock. However, I have access to all those old stories, and if you just want to read them, one of the two inexpensive Showcase Presents volumes should scratch the itch. What makes the late addition of a sixth fantasy volume extra special is that the stories proposed to be contained within, as a whole, will likely never be reprinted. To sway talent away from Marvel in the '70s & '80s, DC offered contracts with generous royalties to creators that DC's current management feels eat too much into the profitability of today's collected editions. That's why you will never see the once announced Showcase Presents Who's Who in the DC Universe, and editions like Showcase Presents Suicide Squad only make it to press after contracts are renegotiated to claw back some of those royalties. That translates into no Showcase Presents Martian Manhunter Volume 3, ever, and dim prospects for a color trade paperback this random.
On the other hand, many of these stories will find their way into Showcase Presents Justice League of America and Showcase Presents DC Comics Presents volumes, if they haven't already, and you may find yourself pleased that their impact is diluted by other company. You see, the theoretical Volume 6 contains stories with swell artwork that were significant to the development of the modern Martian Manhunter, but that doesn't make them particularly well written or enjoyable.
1969's Justice League of America #71 featured some of Dick Dillin's best art under epic embellisher Sid Greene, but Denny O'Neil's "...And So My World Ends!" took the scorched Mars route with regard to the Manhunter's people and continuity. All parties but Greene returned three years later for World's Finest Comics #212, in which a weak and gullible J'onn J'onzz was sidelined by Superman from the story of his people's survival, "...And So My World Begins!" It took another three years for the same writer/penciller team to check back with J'Onn, in a throwaway JLofA story in which the Manhunter barely contributes after the set-up. It only took two years for O'Neil to revisit the Manhunter from Mars, and this time J'onzz was unquestionably the star, but of an especially terrible back-up strip. While O'Neil portrayed Manhunter once again as gullible and incompetent (with the added insult of making him irrationally violent,) it took an exceptional artist to save the day.
Mike Nasser designed a new "Manhunter from Mars" logo to go with his debut on the strip in Adventure Comics #449's "Mission: Catch A Killer". Nasser chose to render the character in a manner similar to his earliest appearances, including the very prominent beetle-brow that became his trademark. While the look was twenty years retro, the artist's style was dynamic, complex and decidedly modern. Supergirl may have guest-starred in the following issue's "Return To Destiny", and Hawkman in "The Suspects", but it was really the draw of Nasser's pages that reignited interest in the largely forgotten Martian Manhunter. Superman and Batman headlined the story's resolution, "Today Mars, Tomorrow... The Universe". Never averse to shooting progress in the foot, this final tale took place in a separate DC title, with an entirely different creative team of old pros. Although writer Bob Haney did his best with the stinker he'd inherited, and Curt Swan's staid art was bolstered by Murphy Anderson's lush inks, the conclusion felt like a throwback after Nasser's intricately delineated offerings. Absent Nasser, further solo development died with cutbacks to DC's line. However, Steve Englehart did join frequent O'Neil collaborator Dick Dillin the same month as the "mini-series" concluded for the greatest Martian Manhunter story to hardly feature J'onn J'onzz, Justice League of America #144's "The Origin of the Justice League-- Minus One!".
These archives are Tom's show, but we've had some discussions in the past about which books should make the cut in his collections. Unsurprisingly, I fought a losing battle in favor of reprinting Arnold Hugo's first appearance in a previous volume, and I really should have argued to get Mr. V's Justice League of America guest appearance in another. However, our debates have never been so contentious as the 1980s reprints in this volume.
After yet another three years and into a new decade, the Manhunter from Mars reappeared in a couple of issues of Justice League of America, in what amounted to a glorified cameo. At least this was an early head-to-head with Despero, and Jim Starlin's rendering of the despot on a cover provides the illustration on this page. Starlin also used the Manhunter in the first part of a three chapter epic, "The Key That Unlocked Chaos!", in DC Comics Presents #27. These tales served to remind readers that J'onn J'onzz was still around, and Gerry Conway even played with him in a League anniversary issue not collected here, but the real meat was to be found in the trilogy that closes this edition. The Martian Manhunter returned to Earth and relevance with a vengeance in 1984, in Justice League of America #228's "War-- of the World?" The surviving Martians had decided to invade Earth, and the Manhunter was forced to choose sides. Although marred by inconsistent art, the final two chapters revisited old foes, introduced new ones, and led to the restoration of J'Onzz's League membership. The Martian Manhunter would serve in defense of the Earth for the next twenty-four years, appear in two titular mini-series, a special, and three years of a solo series. The groundwork for all of that began here, in this collection of disparate tales from the Bronze Age.

"That translates into no Showcase Presents Martian Manhunter Volume 3, ever, and dim prospects for a color trade paperback this random."
It's this behind-the-scenes kind of stuff that irks me for a variety of reasons. Without knowing the reasons why issues will never be collected, I always assume it's because the stories weren't profitable or appealing enough...I never think to look at the business end of things. I hadn't thought to consider it was a more mundane reason. And in addition to that, those gaps in reprints deprive comic newbies and casual comic fans who buy only trades and not single issues from fine stories. Grrr.
If there should be a Martian Manhunter renaissance, led by a resurrection and followed by a successful solo series -- hey, it could happen! -- a JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: WAR OF THE WORLDS color trade would be a possibility. At the standard 192 pages, it could reprint the best two-thirds of my imaginary Archives volume:
JLA #71 (23 pgs)
World's Finest #212 (22 pgs)
Adventure #449-451 (18 pgs)
JLA #144 (33 pgs)
JLA #228-230 (69 pgs)
Total: 185 pages
(Since covers are considered optional in DC's color trades, the page-counts are only for story pages.)
As for my Archives Vol. 6 story choices, since the book covers a period when Martian Manhunter appearances were rare, I erred on the side of inclusiveness. A notable exception to this rule was JLA #200. At 72-pages, the story would take up too much space. MM's only significant contribution is a 6-page fight with Firestorm which I didn't think should be reprinted out of context.

Be happy there are 6 volumes! Supergirl only has 2.
The Starling DC Comics presents also is the first appearance of Mongul and is part of a 3 part story ending with Superman actually confronting the Specter in Heaven.
BTW, unbelievably great stuff here onver the last couple of weeks! Can't miss reading!

Sam & Kait | Randall Wedding
Every four years, a day gets added onto the February calendar and we call it leap year. This leap year provided something extra unique - the marriage of Sam and Kait. As candles danced on the walls and laughs were heard, their beautiful, intimate wedding began after sundown at the Kingswood Lodge. They said their vows and began the biggest (and most exciting) adventure of their lifetimes in front of the massive stone fireplace. Although the ceremony was wonderfully traditional, the personality of this fun couple definitely shined in the pre-wedding hype of the day (including the Sam and his best man hitting the bowling alley before the ceremony) and afterwards with the game-filled reception and enthusiastic sparkler exit.
Kait killed it in her vintage-inspired gown and makeup - I mean, can you say stunner?! And Sam was looking pretty dapper all spruced up in his tux with his eggplant tie brought the whole colour schemes together.
The whole event went incredibly smoothly and was but on by some of the most welcoming, heartwarming families you could imagine (also, trying to limit myself on the amazing homemade desserts was a real task).
Hidden Hearts & Exploring Memories
There's a spot, on a cliff that overlooks the ocean's crashing waves and the surfers that ride them, that holds more meaning than I could express. It's still fairly new to me, and exploring it is something that has become a necessity with every visit I take to Nova Scotia. My fondness for the rocks, trees and grass doesn't reflect my experiences and memories alone, but rather mimics and pulls at those of the person stands by my side. The idea that a place could mean so much to a person I love so deeply instantly creates an attachment, curiosity and protectiveness of the ground that makes them feel calm.
Fog and Pine | A Day with Kelsey
New Brunswick is stunning, fog is magical, friends are a riot - combine all three and you've just made yourself the perfect photo-adventure.
Kelsey and I explored the grounds of the Mactaquac Beaver Pond one afternoon with a brass Petzval Lomography lens in hand, rubber boots on feet and wide eyes. Needless to say, it was grand.
Tom & Rachel | Magic of Film
I still have a long way to go, but working in the darkroom has officially become my most peaceful (between the frustrated sighs, that is) getaway. Watching the images appear in the developer creates a magic that traps the emotion within the paper. It's amazing and beautiful. It makes me vulnerable in a way I never knew I could be.
Rachel and Tom's engagement shoot was the first I shot solely on film, and I couldn't calm my nerves enough when winding the film into the canister - so it took me 5 times to get it right. I triple checked every chemical measurement (I know you should, anyways) when developing the film and took way longer than I needed to in the darkroom researching how to properly expose snow and still have detail in the blacks.
So, here it is. The end result (including a double exposure). The black frame that surrounds each picture just shows that the image was not cropped in at all during the printing process, thus is a "full frame" print.

Slow reopening of the economy still backed by majority in B.C.
Most British Columbians want to deal with the pandemic gradually.
Mario Canseco Feb 22, 2021 6:00 AM
At what pace should the B.C. government reopen the economy? Let us know in the comments.Kanawa_Studio-E+/Getty Images
Canadian provinces have dealt with COVID-19 in different and unique ways. In the early stages of the pandemic, Atlantic Canada provided a glowing example with a very low case count and stern travel restrictions. Other governments opted to enact different measures, which have varied from region to region even within a province.
This month, the emergence of new variants of the disease forced the cancellation of in-person voting in the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial election and led to renewed discussions about ways to manage economic activities. Quebec has implemented nightly curfews. In Ontario, a plan to reopen the province is underway. Since November, British Columbians have been urged to partake in minimal activities outside their homes, with the promise of massive vaccination before the end of the year.
In May 2020, Research Co. and Glacier Media studied the early pandemic perceptions of British Columbians. At the time, 62% of the province's residents favoured reopening the economy slowly to ensure that COVID-19 infection rates remained low, while 35% opted to reopen the economy quickly to ensure that no more jobs were lost.
Over the past few months, "COVID-fatigue" has emerged as a convenient justification of ill-advised personal behaviour that was not the standard last year. Calls to do away with specific rules and regulations have found fertile ground on social media.
Some would assume that B.C. residents are now ready to forget that the pandemic is here. This is not the case. When we asked British Columbians again, a slightly higher proportion than what we saw nine months ago (64%) want to reopen the economy slowly. Notably, 29% of survey respondents want to reopen the economy quickly, six points lower than what was registered in May 2020.
British Columbians aged 55 and over are more likely to favour a slow reopening (74%) and are joined by majorities of those aged 35 to 54 (59%) and 18 to 34 (56%). Regionally, Vancouver Island leads the way in favouring caution (73%), followed by northern B.C. (67%), Metro Vancouver (64%), southern B.C. (56%) and the Fraser Valley (also 56%).
There are also no major differences when it comes to political allegiance. More than seven in 10 British Columbians who voted for the BC New Democratic Party (NDP) in October (73%) want to move slowly, along with 62% of those who cast ballots for the Green Party of BC and 60% of those who supported the BC Liberals.
There are some British Columbians who are distraught by the current situation, willing to ignore all warnings and go back to the way their lives were a year ago. However, significantly more want to continue to deal with the pandemic gradually.
Across the province, 60% of British Columbians say they would not be comfortable going back to a gym or fitness facility until they are vaccinated against COVID-19. Even larger proportions are unwilling to go to a concert at a music venue (64%) or attend a live sporting event as a spectator (65%) without inoculation.
Half of the province's residents (51%) will not visit a community centre without a vaccine.
Finally, about a third of British Columbians are not ready to eat at a restaurant indoors (35%) or at a patio (33%), visit the library (also 33%) or the barbershop or salon (also 33%) if they have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
As we are about to reach the first anniversary of the original state of emergency executed by the province, there are still milestones to be attained. The federal government has vowed to have enough doses to vaccinate every willing Canadian by the end of September, a prospect that split views when we asked earlier this month. At this stage, at least a third of the province's residents will not partake in specific activities until they have been inoculated.
There are components of the provincial economy that will not benefit if a drastic reopening is ordered, simply because residents are not ready to become clients, fans and enthusiasts once more. The pandemic has been mentally draining for all British Columbians, but the voices of those who do not, or cannot, understand the gravity of the problem are in the minority •
Mario Canseco is president of Research Co.
Results are based on an online survey conducted from February 14 to February 16, 2021, among 800 adults in British Columbia. The margin of error, which measures sample variability, is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Mandatory vaccination unlikely for workplaces; focus will be on education
B.C. deficit expected to hit $13.6 billion as pandemic costs mount
What if co-parents can't agree on the COVID-19 vaccine or any vaccine?

//I think I have a problem with my sql code
     mysql_select_db('DATABASENAME');
     $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
     if(! $retval )

        die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
     }

     echo "Data added successfully!";
     mysql_close($conn);
   }
}

Anyone can help me how to insert data into different tables? I can't save these data. Thanks for your help. It'll much appreciated!
Thanks!

A: This may help you:
<form action='your_script_name.php' method='post'>

Surname/Last Name
*

<input type="text" id="" name="lname" size="20" required value="" class=" " aria-required="true" />

Agency
*

<input type="text" id="agency" name="agency" size="30" required value="" class=" " aria-required="true" />

Organizer
*

<input type="text" id="trorganizer" name="trorganizer" size="30" required value="" class=" " aria-required="true" />

<input type="submit" value='Submit' name='submit'/>

</form>

You PHP script:
$lname=strtoupper($_POST['lname']);
$agency=strtoupper($_POST['agency']);
$trorganizer=strtoupper($_POST['trorganizer']);

$db_con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'database_user_name', 'database_password');
if (!$db_con) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('database_name', $db_con) or die('Could not select database.');

$sql1 = "INSERT INTO `personalinfo` (`lname`) VALUES ('$lname')";
$sql2 = "INSERT INTO `pep` (`agency`) VALUES ('$agency')";
$sql3 = "INSERT INTO `training` (`trorganizer`) VALUES ('$trorganizer')";

// command to execute query
$retval = mysql_query($sql1);
if(!$retval ) {
    die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
}
$retval = mysql_query($sql2);
if(!$retval ) {
    die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
}
$retval = mysql_query($sql3);
if(!$retval ) {
    die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
}

echo "Data added successfully!";
mysql_close($conn);

Hope this may help you.

A: <?php

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `personalinfo` (`lname`) VALUES ('". $lname ."')");

$sql2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `pep` (`agency`) VALUES ('". $agency ."')")

$sql3 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `training` (`trorganizer`) VALUES ('". $trorganizer ."')");

?>

A: mysql_query("INSERT INTO `personalinfo` (`lname`) VALUES ('". $lname ."')");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `pep` (`agency`) VALUES ('". $agency ."')");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `training` (`trorganizer`) VALUES ('". $trorganizer ."')");

You only need to have these lines of code to insert. You only need an if statement if you want to validate the queries.

A taxi firm operator was forced to escape through a window when a dispute inside its Maidenhead office got out of hand.
Police were called to 24-7 Taxis on Sunday to reports of a struggle inside the building in West Street.
The offenders entered the office shortly before 11pm and allegedly became aggressive towards a staff member in there.
During the dispute damage was caused to computer equipment.
A police spokeswoman said the victim had fled through a window because the offenders blocked the door and he then called 999.
The incident is being treated as assault without injury.
