As Conferências da Solvay (também chamadas de Congressos da Solvay) são uma série de conferências científicas celebradas desde 1911. No começo do século XX, estas conferências reuniam os mais consagrados cientistas da época, e proporcionaram avanços fundamentais para a Física Quântica. Foram realizadas no Instituto Internacional da Solvay de Física e Química, localizado em Bruxelas, fundado pelo químico industrial belga Ernest Solvay. Depois do êxito inicial da primeira conferência, passaram a ser dedicadas à resolução de diversas questões, tanto na física como na química. Estas conferências são realizadas de três em três anos.

Conferências

Primeira conferência - 1911: Teoria da radiação e dos quanta
A primeira conferência foi realizada em Bruxelas, de 30 de outubro a 3 de novembro de 1911. O presidente da conferência foi Hendrik Antoon Lorentz e o tema principal foi A Teoria da Radiação e os quanta. A saudação de boas-vindas aos presentes foi feita pelo anfitrião Ernest Solvay.

Esta conferência considerou os problemas na física teórica e na física quântica. Albert Einstein foi o físico mais jovem entre os presentes. Outros membros de especial destaque dessa conferência foram Marie Curie e Henri Poincaré.

Terceira conferência - 1921: Átomos e elétrons

Nesta conferência em 1921, nenhum cientista alemão foi convidado, porque o fim da Primeira Guerra Mundial tinha sido muito recente. Assim os cientistas alemães foram prejudicados, no entanto, a ausência dos físicos alemães diminuiram consideravelmente a qualidade da conferência, pois somente em universidades alemãs houve um progresso significatico na física moderna (teoria quântica, teoria da relatividade). O tema da conferência foi: "Átomos e Elétrons".

There's something about these thigh high over-the-knee that just make them a little bit cooler than their shorter counterparts. Maybe it's the fact that you can wear them year round or maybe it's just you can go "classy, crazy, cool" in an instant with this pair.
What we do know is that they are for all 4 seasons. Thigh high over-the-knee never go out of season.

5 days ago 4970 views by Buchi Obichie
- The management of the Ibadan Polytechnic has ordered that mobile phones, worth millions of naira, which were confiscated from the students during examinations be set on fire
- The school decided to take such action to restate its commitment to fighting examination malpractices to the barest level
- The school's rector pointed out that there are rules guiding the principles of examinations and one of it is that no student, under whatever guise, should come into the examination hall with cell phones
The management of the Ibadan Polytechnic, Ibadan has restated its commitment to enforcing discipline and curbing exam malpractices.
While addressing newsmen on Wednesday, July 10, the institution's deputy rector, Bayo Oyeleke, said school authorities have resolved to make sure the polytechnic's examinations are sacred, Tribune reports.

Legit.ng gathers that Oyeleke stated that to this end, school authorities have ordered that mobile phones, worth millions of naira, which were confiscated from the students during examinations be set on fire.
The devices were all burnt to ashes at the school's premises on Wednesday.
Oyeleke said the school decided to take such action to restate its commitment to fighting examination malpractices to the barest level.
He said: "We are here to take further action on our resolve to ensure that the crop of students and products being produced by the school are students with exemplary character and are those who really work and worth the certificate of the institution."
He disclosed that the school's examinations are guided by rules and that any student who disobeys these rules will face the consequences.
He said: "There are rules guiding the principles of our examinations and one of it is that no student under whatever guise should come into the examination hall with cell phones but you know that some students are very recalcitrant.
"We have resolved to confiscate them because it has been expressly stated on their examination paper that any phone found on any students during examination shall be confiscated and in order not to allow any of the phones to filter out, the school has resolved that such phones shall be burnt."

The Christian butcher, baker, and wedding picture maker
April 13, 2015 by William Thornton
Should Christians who by reason of belief and conscience discriminate against same sex couples be held liable under non-discrimination laws or should there be an exception made in order to uphold their First Amendment religious liberty rights?
Though none of the occupations (I added the butcher for obvious literary reasons) are mentioned in the recent spate of Religious Freedom Restoration Acts passed or proposed in several states, the matter is being driven by a few cases across the country involving Christian businesses and gay couples.
Without citing case law and plunging deep into history and details of the RFRAs, Bob Allen, News Director of Baptist News Global, gives a succinct summary of the matter:
Passed by Congress in 1993, RFRA prevents the government from placing a substantial burden on a person's exercise of religion unless it is for a compelling reason and by the least burdensome means.
The law has been in the news in recent weeks, as states including Indiana and Arkansas considered state versions with language added to apply similar protection to disputes between individuals rather than only cases involving the state.
Supporters of those efforts say business owners like bakers or florists who believe homosexuality is morally wrong should not be forced to participate in same-sex weddings against their conscience. Opponents say such legislation gives businesses a license to discriminate against customers because of their sexual orientation
I am aware that the writer is among our Moderate Baptist friends. I'd quote Baptist Press but I cannot find a quick quote that adequately expresses the opposing sides.
Some of us might dispute some of the terminology in Allen's article, particularly the phrase "license to discriminate" but I think he accurately reports the conflicting narratives. We clamor for religious liberty. They clamor against giving businesses a license to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.
Both sides might agree that those supporting RFRAs have been issued a shellacking lately. What might have been yesterday an easy victory for traditional family values is today not just a defeat but quick and decisive defeat.
Here are some considerations:
1. Public opinion has shifted. Gay marriage is widely accepted in the country and overwhelming accepted among certain demographic segments. The most recent poll showed that most Americans do not believe that businesses should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. And, by a wide margin, citizens of our country support allowing gay couples to marry. Of course no one has to like or accept polling results. While a poll doesn't determine what is right or wrong, it does offer some explanation of why public reaction against RFRAs has been so successful.
2. The social agenda of conservative religious groups has been and is on life support. Nothing new here. The sisyphean reality is that we labor mightily only to get repeatedly flattened. When RFRA bills were filed in my state legislature (two years running) they were met by a broad coalition of social and religious opponents. Although heavily Republican, lawmakers in Georgia understand political power and recognize where it is absent or declining. Southern Baptists don't put the fear of God or of voters in our politicians any more. Perhaps our energy might be better spent on winning souls.
3. Conservative religious bodies like the SBC are declining. We don't have the influence or do we swing the votes like we used to. One example is the series of local referenda held here a few years ago on Sunday sales of alcohol. Against the loud opposition of The Georgia Baptist Convention leaders, lobbyists, and many pastors, the measure passed all over the state. Voters in large cities, surburban bedroom communities, and rural country crossroads all agreed that citizens of Georgia should be able to buy alcohol on Sundays if they wish. The Baptists might be officially against alcohol (or gambling) but such opposition no longer translates into political power.
4. Our practice of preaching sermons with the theme of "Take Back America", "America You're Too Young To Die", and "God will judge America" is tired, worn out, and manifestly fruitless. Particularly hubristic is the latter assertion which presumes on God's prerogatives and assumes that God will act decisively and openly on the sin that some among us rank highest on our scale of abhorrence.
5. Our individual actions in regard to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals are unhealthy and demonstrably counterproductive. I feel sure some of the brethren are still using the old "Adam and Steve" laugh line which, along with other similar, has always been useful in expressing disdain and disgust. Dispite a few more measured voices in the SBC, contempt for homosexuals among us is palpable. Some here have called for the state to re-criminalize and punish for gay activity, for example.
6. On a denominational level, we have not had much serious focus on religious liberty issues.
7. We have lost the public relations battle on RFRAs partly because of the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby decision which allowed some "closely held" corporations, businesses rather than individuals, to exercise religious liberty rights. Some RFRAs proposed after that decision have included expanded definitions which opponents point to as permitting discrimination by businesses against LGBT individuals. We have argued that such is not the case but our arguments have been overwhelmed by opponents. Their narrative is easily the winner.
8. The whole RFRA business is virtually impenetrable to most people, including those who tend to support our positions on this. There may be a way forward but it will not be more of the same.
9. I suspect that we are headed for more judicial activity on the issue. The ERLC's Russell Moore, among others, is saying that there should be some accommodation and protection for a business whose activity is creative and artistic, a personal expression, e.g., a baker of a wedding cake or a taker of wedding photographs. So far as I am aware, there is no judicial definition or specification for this. I'd speculate that these arguments will eventually be addressed.
I rather like the statement of Brent Walker, Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs.
To our LGBT friends: with the astonishingly rapid-dawning first opportunity to marry in our country's 225 year history, try extending some grace to others who have religiously informed objections to same-sex marriage; and if the baker or florist does not want to provide you a cake or flowers, move down the street and give your business to ones who will. To our conservative Christian friends: with religious liberty protected in this country like no other place in the world, try loving your LGBT neighbors (not even talking about your enemies) unconditionally, and understand that providing them goods and services in the marketplace is an act of hospitality, but it does not indicate approval of their nuptial decisions or their sexual orientation. It seems to me this is a better way for good citizens and good Christians to resolve conflict in the public square.
It is possible that Russell Moore would have lunch with Brent Walker and the two of them could find areas on which to join forces?

March for Our Lives Panel
Event Start: 23rd February 2019, 7:00pm
The US has one of the highest rates of gun violence in the developed world. Students around the country have taken a stand against this, starting the #NeverAgain movement in the wake of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, and streets all across the United States have been flooded with students demanding a set of powerful new reforms.
Despite a political culture in which the right to gun ownership is entrenched, certain gun control measures have been implemented at both the state and federal level. After years of violence, it therefore seems the student-led movement has provided some hope that positive change in the US is on the way. In this panel, we bring together the leaders of the March for Our Lives movement to reflect on this youth movement in the US, as well as on the potential for young people across the world to create change in politics and society.
David Hogg - March for Our Lives co-founder and survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Edna Chavez - March for Our Lives activist and survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Bria Smith - March for Our Lives activist who organised a county-wide school walkout in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Alex King - March for Our Lives activist who lost his 16-year old nephew to gun violence in Chicago.

We all know Farmhouse style décor is all the rage. Many thanks to Joanna Gaines for that! Her style is effortless and pops up all over these days. I see tons of fun items in the stores, but I can't bring myself to pay the price tag. I know to much about how easy it is to create some of these looks at home for WAY less.
Over the next few weeks I'll share some five minute farmhouse ideas you can DIY on the cheap! Especially if you garage sale, curbside or thrift store shop. All the main parts in these projects are easy to find in these inexpensive shopping spots. You just have to know what to look for!
This old pan I scored at a garage sale is no longer good for cooking, like a truck left in a field it was covered with dents and rust. Now it's perfect. I hammered out a few dents so it would sit a little straighter and bottles wouldn't wobble inside. The thing about metal is you can't really sit it straight on a surface you care about, it will rust and leave messy marks. Enter these wooden ball knobs. They were bought for another project that never happened.
I used one of my favorites, Espresso colored stain on the knobs. They are perfect for feet because they come with a flat edge. E6000 is my go to glue…it dries quickly, adheres a ton of different surfaces and is all around easy to use. I put a dab of glue on each knob and attached them to the bottom of the pan. Allow to dry completely and you have yourself a precious farmhouse footed tray!
I will say the knobs come in a variety of sizes and I wish mine were a tad bit smaller, but I always use what I have on hand! Next week…a five minute farmhouse bud vase! If you enjoyed this project would you please share it so others can too! I sincerely appreciate it!
I know…I could put little feet on a ton of things!
I really like the tray makeover it is so useful and cute.. Hope your Mother's Day was joyful.
What a cool idea. I certainly need to make one. I like to keep a tray by the sink to hold scrubbing brushes and dish soap. This will be perfect.
That would be a perfect place for a tray like this, you definitely can't put metal straight on the counter by the sink!!!
This is such a creative idea and so simple too. Thanks for linking up with Talk of the Town.
What a cute idea! And how simple! You are spot on about things being grouped in containers not causing clutter. Thanks so much for linking to Waiting on…Wednesday!
Thanks – I need to un clutter as much as possible around here!
This is super cute! I need to make one of these!
thanks! So easy to whip up!
This is genius! I love the little feet, so perfect! Thanks for sharing!
I just love this!!!! I would have passed that tray right by. Now I'm going to look for one! I'm so glad you shared with us at Thrifted and Relifted!!!
They are everywhere, easy to find and inexpensive!
This is so adorable!! Thanks for sharing!
This is so adorable and super creative!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Very creative project! Thanks for linking up!
I was just thinking of you today as I scored 4 wooden ball feet at a thrift store. I went with the large ones as I think that really makes the whole project perfect. Now I just need the pan. I do so love yours!
aww thanks Kat – I bet you'll find a pan in no time! I just found another one the other day for fifty cents!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE You are blessed with such a wonderfully creative gift. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you – I am so glad you enjoyed this project!!!
I love this tray, especially with those cute "chubby" feet, they make it almost come to life. I'd probably name it. Lol! Thank you for sharing this great idea, I love trays.
lol – how fun! I'd love to hear what you'd name it!!!
Love your idea…quick, simple and useful!
Thanks and a useful thing is always better…these crates move all around the house, I use them all the time!
Lots of inspiration from your site, and by the way I love the new name and look!
This is such a terrific idea. Definitely want to do this. I use spices and keep a couple but this will hold more. Great to look at and very useful as well.


Through Wall Street Trading Software website you will be setup with a binary options broker with which you can open account. Before starting to trade and eventually start making money all auto trading softwares are connected with a designated binary options broker.

Binary options movements between being out of the money or being in the money are mainly high placed as compared to the traditional stock options which would move at a much slower pace when the same steps are taken for both the options.
Any binary options software system which claims has high chance of being a scam because they cannot give those results. Wall Street Trading Software is backed by a good broker which is a good start. Secondly Wall Street Trading Software has good developer team behind it for that reason Wall Street Trading Software is a good choice to sign up with.

Thune Seeks Assistance for Livestock Producers Following Excessive Flooding
Sends letter to Ag Secretary requesting prevented planting flexibility
WASHINGTON, DC — Senator John Thune, along with Senator Johnson and Representative Herseth Sandlin, today sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack requesting that South Dakota livestock producers who are unable to generate adequate forage for their livestock this year-due to excessive rainfall and subsequent flooding-be allowed to harvest secondary crops on prevented planting acreage prior to November 1, 2010, without penalty.
"Many of our farmers and ranchers have endured severe flooding this year and stand to lose significant profits from decreased forage production on unproductive acres," said Thune. "Allowing planting flexibility on areas designated as prevented planting acreage prior to November 1st will enable producers to provide feed for their livestock, and help them through the tough economic conditions they currently face."
The prevented planting rules are designed to prevent livestock producers from collecting both prevented planting funds, and profits from a subsequent crop with a later planting date. In light of this year's severe weather conditions, flexibility with the prevented planting guidelines is warranted for South Dakota producers.
Text of the delegation's letter is below.
Secretary Tom Vilsack
1400 Independence Avenue, SW
Dear Secretary Vilsack:
We write in regards to producers who have been severely impacted by this spring's rainfall and flooding on their acreage, subsequently affecting available land for production. Because this rainfall and flooding has reduced the number of available acres for production this year, many agricultural operations won't be able to produce adequate forage for their livestock. We write seeking flexibility for prevented planting coverage restrictions with the goal of enabling impacted operations to produce adequate feed stocks.
As you know, producers are restricted from harvesting or grazing subsequently planted cover crops after the first prevented planting claim until November 1st without incurring a 65% reduction in prevented planting benefits. Additionally, the Actual Production History (APH) for included acres is recorded at 60% of actual APH if a producer harvests or grazes a secondary crop prior to the November 1st deadline. We can appreciate that the intention behind such a restriction is to ensure that mistreatment of program benefits is marginalized. However, we are also concerned that given the tremendous hardships many producers are facing in light of this spring and summer's unrelenting rainfall, some wiggle room in the November 1st date is appropriate this year so as to minimize financial hardships for these farmers.
We believe that some modifications in the prevented planting coverage to specifically accommodate those livestock producers impacted this year by inordinate rainfall would be enormously helpful to ensuring our farmers are not unnecessarily harmed. We suggest allowing producers that won't be able to produce adequate forage for their livestock this year be allowed to harvest feed crops for their operations prior to November 1st without incurring the 65% reduction in prevented planting benefits and the 60% of actual APH yield on the prevented planting acreage.
We thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this very important request.

Dario Gradi
Crewe Alex: Utility man Mat ready to be called into action
VERSATILE Mat Mitchel-King is prepared to wait patiently for a run in the Alex first-team.
The 27-year-old was first-choice centre-half last season, but he has fallen down the pecking order due to the form of Patrick Ada and David Artell.
The former Histon has man has since deputised well at full-back and in midfield, but he is yet to nail down a shirt.
But Mitchel-King remains philosophical: "It's hats off to Pat and Dave.
"They have done brilliantly for us this season and it is not as though I have been frozen out or anything like that.
"They deserve to be in the team at the moment and all I can do is remain patient and wait for a chance.
"There is a long way to go in the season yet and anything can happen with injuries, suspensions and loss of form.
"I'm keeping myself fit and I am ready if the manager needs me."
The fact that Mitchel-King, signed by Gudjon Thordarson, has many strings to his bow is a bonus for boss Dario Gradi.
He impressed at right-back while Matt Tootle was injured, and operated well in midfield as a substitute at Macclesfield Town.
He also played his part in a back-three in the second-half of Saturday's win at Southend.
The former model is likely to be back on the bench for this weekend's clash with Aldershot, but he will be happy as long as the team continues to progress.
Mitchel-King added: "We have lost games over the last few years and that has stopped on such a regular basis. We are heading in the right direction."

'Simply not on': Premier warns against city escape as regional Victoria opens up
Melburnians trying to escape to holiday homes following the easing of restrictions in regional Victoria will face hefty fines and beefed up police road checks amid fears they could spread the coronavirus.
In regional Victoria from Thursday, residents can have visitors to their homes, restaurants and cafes can have seated indoor and outdoor dining, beauty services can reopen and people can gather in groups of ten outside.
However, Premier Daniel Andrews warned Melburnians could not travel to the regions without a lawful reason.
« This is very serious, very, very serious, » Mr Andrews said. « We cannot have people making unnecessary and unlawful trips to regional Victoria and potentially taking the virus with them. »
Mr Andrews said this would result in « significant queues », but regional Victorians « jealously guard » their low virus status and wanted to keep it that way.
Overall, there were 42 new cases of COVID-19 reported in Victoria on Tuesday and no deaths for the first time in more than two months.
Regional Victoria's restrictions were further eased after it reached a 14-day average of 3.6 new daily COVID-19 cases.
Melbourne's 14-day average stands at 52.9 daily cases, with Mr Andrews confirming the city was on track to partially ease restrictions on September 28, although, even then, regional Victorians will still be enjoying far more freedoms.
« I think, in a sense, what regional Victoria are doing now will be a dry run for what will happen in Melbourne, » Mr Andrews said. « I expect that we'll be making the same sort of assessment, hopefully in a number of weeks' time, to say that it's safe for Melbourne to open up. »
The Premier also flagged measures to prevent people travelling to second homes in the Mornington Peninsula – which is classified as part of metropolitan Melbourne – during the school holidays and warmer weather.
World news – USA: Trump devrait pardonner à 100 personnes, mais pas Giuliani ou Bannon, disent deux sources
« That's simply not on. That puts everything at risk. It's unnecessary movement. It's unlawful movement. And it should not be happening, » Mr Andrews said.
Mornington Peninsula mayor Sam Hearn said the area was inundated with people rushing to their holiday homes earlier this year when stage three restrictions were announced.
He said extensive road blocks would be required on arterial roads such as Peninsula Link to ensure Melburnians were following the ban on moving to second residences.
Under the eased restrictions in regional Victoria, households can select one other household to be in a so-called bubble. The households are then permitted to visit each other, with a maximum of five visitors.
Outdoor sport can resume and there will be a staged return to school for all regional students in the first two weeks of term four.
Restaurants and cafes will be able to seat up to 50 people outside and up to 20 people inside – although the indoor seating must be separated into two spaces.
Regional Cities Victoria chair Margaret O'Rourke said the reopening meant local economies and communities could begin to recover.
« We really want to encourage people living in regional Victoria to visit other parts of regional Victoria from this Thursday, » she said.
Victorian Tourism Industry Council chief executive Felicia Mariani said many businesses would need until the weekend to reopen, after standing staff down, reducing stock and shutting down their operations.
Businesses were also waiting for guidelines on how to resume their operations safely, she said. « People want to understand what they need to do to comply with the new rules, » she said. « We need to be careful. Everyone, including consumers, has a responsibility here. »
Victorian Nationals leader Peter Walsh said families would still have to make painful choices about which loved ones could attend weddings, funerals and religious ceremonies « under severe restrictions on public gatherings ».
« Despite very low case numbers across regional Victoria, dining restrictions will force our local cafes and restaurants to make tough decisions on whether it's viable to open after months of little to no income, » he said.
Greater Geelong mayor Stephanie Asher said she supported the government's promise to prevent people from rushing to their holiday homes, although she understood why Melburnians would want to enjoy the freedom in beachside communities.
« We certainly don't want to end up in lockdown, » she said. « It does need to be managed for the safety of all people. »
But Cr Asher said there had already been a substantial increase in people in Greater Geelong, which includes the seaside communities of Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Maggie Fooke, owner of the Northern Arts Hotel in Castlemaine, welcomed the chance to reopen but said her business was largely dependent on visitors from Melbourne.
Ms Fooke said she was ready to reopen the accommodation at the hotel immediately and hoped to resume serving drinks in coming weeks.
But she doubted whether people in regional Victoria would be rushing out to take holidays immediately and may prefer to catch up with friends in their communities first.
« Local people would like to see each other again, » she said. « I think people are looking forward to being a little bit more mobile in our own communities. »

How Many Parts Make A Shower Head?
You may be surprised to learn that the shower head that came with my Mira Sport Thermostatic Shower is made from 22 separate parts. If you count them in the featured image above you will see 21 but take note that the main body of the shower head, on the right, is made from two inseparable parts of plastic.
I can also tell you that the main body of the shower head retains water after use. Some drops can be removed by shaking it in various ways but some always remains inside. If the shower isn't used regularly this water will become stagnant and may hold dangerous bacteria. I would recommend turning the shower on at least once per week to refresh the water in the shower head.
This all came to light when I wanted to do a good job of cleaning mould and calcium off the shower head. I felt the best job would be done by dismantling it and cleaning all the parts individually since some mould looked as if it had penetrated inside.

I agree entirely - I decided this a while ago when my 'crazy' friends became my actual friends who I laughed with and lived with and shared my life with, and the others kind of fizzled out. Friendship and life and love is based on FAR more than an eating disorder or mental illness and mostly, when we read or talk or write or involve ourselves with something purely because it makes us feel less lonely and isolated in our own disorder or recovery, I genuinely think we must question the reasons we've sought that comfort, or whatever it is, in the first place. It most likely isn't coming from an interest in living life - it's probably coming from that illness part of our brain that is desperately clinging onto the remains of something we spend each day fighting to get rid of.
Partly written from my reflections on myself at the moment - none of us are perfect. I know if I had fully let my eating disorder go, I wouldn't be writing my dissertation about eating disorders, but unfortunately, it's the only thing I am able to fully engage myself in, so I may as well get a good dissertation out of the thing that destroys half my life anyway!

Kathleen Kennedy's Company Tweets to Star Wars: Episode VII Casting Poll!?
Earlier today, MakingStarWars.net contributor Andrew ran a story about the new contenders up for the male lead role in Star Wars: Episode VII.
Was this from an enthusiastic intern or Kennedy and Marshall?
It links to a Variety poll where you can vote for the new hero of the film and who you think should be the male star of the film. This is the same Twitter account that was congratulating J.J. Abrams before the announcement was released he was directing Star Wars: Episode VII. So it seems like this could be significant and actually confirming the Variety rumors, which are almost always true.
If Kathleen Kennedy's company is acknowledging the rumors, it could also give more credence to everything in the story like Adam Driver being the main villain in the new film.
Perhaps the hard debates are going down at Lucasfilm and this is how they are taking stock of the public opinion to help guide their hands and final decision making? There was a rumor going around that Kathleen Kennedy's office are the ones that leaked the Adam Driver rumor to Variety. Maybe there's some truth to that?
Or maybe an intern got over zealous? You never know, crazier things have happened. But I suggest voting if you want your say in who the new star of the film is.

Too much to smile about?
With a life full of reasons to smile, should you have to think before you smile?
At Skin & You Clinic, you have the opportunity to erase all the lines around your eyes and mouth caused due to smiling. These lines, once removed, can make you look younger and more vibrant.
Smile lines (or nasolabial folds, as they are known medically) are the lines in the skin that run from each side of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. As their name suggests, they are more pronounced when smiling. These lines become deeper and more visible with age as a result of the reduction in facial fat and loss of collagen and elastin. These deep lines often impact the confidence levels of a person. The best way to tackle this problem and bring a refreshed look to your face, is by addressing the overall volume loss that leads to an aged look, rather than just addressing individual facial wrinkles and folds.
Smile lines are generally treated by injecting fillers into the lines just beneath the skin that fill out and soften these lines. At Skin & You Clinic we have a variety of fillers available, lasting from 8-12 months. Some filler like Juvederm XC contain a local anaesthetic in them, making the treatment relatively comfortable and painless. Fillers like restylane can also be injected to smoothen the lines out.
Why Choose Skin & You Clinic For The Treatment Of Smile Lines?
The doctors at Skin & You Clinic, Mumbai, specialize in non-surgical replacement of facial volume with dermal fillers. We would be happy to discuss your concerns and make an appropriate assessment for adding facial volume to achieve a younger appearance that remains natural.


The Linux kernel provides futexes ("Fast Userspace muTexes") as a building block for fast userspace locking and semaphores. Futexes are very basic and lend themselves well for building higher level locking abstractions such as POSIX mutexes.
This page does not set out to document all design decisions but restricts itself to issues relevant for application and library development. Most programmers will in fact not be using futexes directly but instead rely on system libraries built on them, such as the NPTL pthreads implementation.
A futex is identified by a piece of memory which can be shared between different processes. In these different processes, it need not have identical addresses. In its bare form, a futex has semaphore semantics; it is a counter that can be incremented and decremented atomically; processes can wait for the value to become positive.
Futex operation is entirely userspace for the non-contended case. The kernel is only involved to arbitrate the contended case. As any sane design will strive for non-contention, futexes are also optimized for this situation.
In its bare form, a futex is an aligned integer which is only touched by atomic assembler instructions. Processes can share this integer using mmap(2), via shared memory segments or because they share memory space, in which case the application is commonly called multithreaded.
Any futex operation starts in userspace, but it may necessary to communicate with the kernel using the futex(2) system call.
To "up" a futex, execute the proper assembler instructions that will cause the host CPU to atomically increment the integer. Afterwards, check if it has in fact changed from 0 to 1, in which case there were no waiters and the operation is done. This is the non-contended case which is fast and should be common.
In the contended case, the atomic increment changed the counter from -1 (or some other negative number). If this is detected, there are waiters. Userspace should now set the counter to 1 and instruct the kernel to wake up any waiters using the FUTEX_WAKE operation.
Waiting on a futex, to "down" it, is the reverse operation. Atomically decrement the counter and check if it changed to 0, in which case the operation is done and the futex was uncontended. In all other circumstances, the process should set the counter to -1 and request that the kernel wait for another process to up the futex. This is done using the FUTEX_WAIT operation.
The futex(2) system call can optionally be passed a timeout specifying how long the kernel should wait for the futex to be upped. In this case, semantics are more complex and the programmer is referred to futex(2) for more details. The same holds for asynchronous futex waiting.
Initial futex support was merged in Linux 2.5.7 but with different semantics from those described above. Current semantics are available from Linux 2.5.40 onwards.
To reiterate, bare futexes are not intended as an easy to use abstraction for end-users. Implementors are expected to be assembly literate and to have read the sources of the futex userspace library referenced below.
This man page illustrates the most common use of the futex(2) primitives: it is by no means the only one.

5 NorMin, Lanao Sur execs among 'top performers' in 2022
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Five public officials in the Northern Mindanao region and Lanao del Sur province were named among the "Top Performers" in local governance during the second half of 2022 after the national and local elections.
A statement from the data analytics firm RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD) on Sunday said they are Misamis Occidental 2nd District Rep. Sancho Fernando Oaminal, Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Ziaur-Rahman Alonto-Adiong, Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental Mayor Henry Oaminal Jr., Misamis Oriental Gov. Peter Unabia and Misamis Occidental Gov. Henry Oaminal Sr.
Rep. Oaminal placed fifth among top performers in the House of Representatives with a 90-percent rating, while Adiong placed 10th with a 78-percent rating.
"Para na sa inyoha, mga pinalangga namong Misamisnons! Padayon ang atong pagpaningkamot para sa #AsensoOzamiz (This is for you, our beloved Misamisnons! We continue to strive hard for the #AsensoOzamiz development agenda)," he said in his Facebook post, reacting to the results.
Oaminal Jr. placed in the 9th spot for top-performing city mayors with 80 percent, and both Unabia and Oaminal Sr. placed sixth in the governor's category with an 85-percent rating.
Dr. Paul Martinez, focal person of RPMD, said these public officials who excelled in "constituent service" and service to the nation should be congratulated for their exceptional performance.
The independent and non-commissioned "Boses ng Bayan" national performance evaluation survey for the year 2022 was done from Nov. 27 to Dec. 2, 2022.
Among the 65.75 million registered voters between 18 and 70, a total of 10,000 respondents were selected. The sample employed a plus-or-minus 1 percent margin of error and a degree of confidence of 95 percent.
Martinez said respondents were chosen randomly, and the number of respondents was distributed proportionally based on the number of registered voters in each area. (PNA)

A confident and talented IT technician with extensive practical experience of working with computers and resolving any support issues that are raised to him. Possessing a proven ability to administer and control the operation, configuration and maintenance of computer based information systems, as well as having an eye for detail and able to multi-task under pressure.
Just like with any operating system, keeping a Windows PC running well requires some maintenance. The good news is that you can automate most of the important maintenance tasks, and keep Windows humming along like it was freshly installed.
You can't turn this automatic maintenance off, but you can change when it operates, and whether or not it can wake a sleeping PC to run its tasks. By default, Windows runs these tasks every day at 2 AM and wakes up your PC to do so if necessary.
To manage this tool, head to Control Panel > System and Security > Security and Maintenance. You can also hit Start, type "maintenance" into the search box, and then click the "Security and Maintenance" result.
In the Security and Maintenance window, expand the "Maintenance" section, and then click the "Change maintenance settings" link.
In the Automatic Maintenance window, you can change the time that tasks are run each day, and disable the ability for Windows to wake your PC from sleep to run those tasks. Note that even if Windows wakes your computer to run these tasks, it will put the system back to sleep when it's done.
If you want to make sure you have plenty of space on your hard drive, and get rid of old files you no longer need, which gets rid of plenty of temporary files and other stuff that doesn't need to be around anymore.
Windows 10 users have the luxury of using Storage Sense, a handy little feature that automatically cleans out your temporary files and recycle bin of things that have been hanging around for over a month. Storage Sense was added to Windows 10 in the Creator's Update (Spring, 2017), and it's a great tool for automatically cleaning things up safely. It's pretty conservative about what it deletes, so you shouldn't run into any problems leaving it turned on.
To get to it, head to Settings > System > Storage, and turn on the toggle in the "Storage Sense" section.
Click that "Change how we free up space" link right under the toggle to adjust settings.
And no, there aren't many settings there. Like we mentioned, it's a conservative tool. You do, however, have other options.
The Disk Cleanup tool has been around forever, and it still works great. In fact, it cleans up more stuff than the Storage Sense tool in Windows 10. While you can run Disk Cleanup yourself every once in a while, why not schedule it to run automatically?
You can use the Task Scheduler in Windows to run a basic Disk Cleanup scan as often as you like, and with a few extra command line switches, you can have it clean even more in an advanced mode. We've got a complete write-up on scheduling Disk Cleanup in Windows, so we won't cover all the steps here. Check it out if you're interested, though!
CCleaner is a popular cleaning utility that's available in both a free and premium version. It works much like Disk Cleanup, but extends even further what it can clean. In addition to temporary and cached files, CCleaner can also clean up data for additional apps, and even clear data for your web browser. It's a powerful tool, and not one you necessarily need. But a lot of people swear by it.
The premium version ($25) features scheduled cleaning, but you can also use the Windows Task Scheduler to automate CCleaner even with the free version.
If you've been using a PC for long enough, you might have gotten into the habit of defragmenting your hard drive. The good news is that this is something you don't really need to worry about too much anymore.
First up, if you're using a solid state drive (SSD), you should not be defragmenting your drive at all. It doesn't help, and just creates additional wear and tear on the drive. If you're running Windows 7, 8, or 10, Windows automatically disables defragmentation on SSDs.
And, if you're using Windows 7, 8, or 10, Windows also automatically enables defragmentation on a schedule for traditional hard drives. So, it's really not something you need to worry about. You can just let Windows do its thing.
By default, Windows defragments traditional drives every Wednesday at 1 AM, if you're not using your computer at the time. You can customize the defragmenter schedule if you want, but there's probably no reason to change it.
Keeping your PC updated can be frustrating. Windows 10 is a lot more aggressive about using Windows Update to keep itself updated than past versions of Windows—and for the most part, that's a good thing. If you're using Windows 7, you've got a good bit more control about what updates you apply, and when.
So, while you can't really prevent updates from happening in Windows 8 and 10 (at least not permanently), you can at least change things like your active hours—when you're using your computer and it should not apply updates or restart your PC.
Keeping third-party apps up to date automatically is a little more challenging. Some apps have built-in updaters that can download and install updates automatically, others can check for updates and at least notify you, and still others just rely on you to check for updated versions once in a while.
Security software, like antivirus apps, are especially important to keep updated. Most have automatic updaters built-in. Still, it's important to check up on them once in a while–like before you run a manual scan–just to make sure. As an example, Windows Defender gets regular updates for virus definitions through Windows Updates, but still offers the ability to manually check for updates when you open it up.
There are some third-party utilities out there, like Patch My PC, which can scan all your installed apps, check for updates, and then install them for you, and then there are hardware drivers. If you've got the default Windows drivers installed for your hardware, the good news is that Windows Update takes care of updating those automatically. And the truth is, the basic Windows drivers are good enough for most types of hardware. For some type of hardware, like graphics cards, you'll probably want the actual manufacturer drivers that are kept much more up to date and offer additional features. For those, you'll have to rely on the manufacturers' own tools to keep things up to date.
We've save perhaps the most important task for last—backing up your PC. Because sometimes bad things happen, it's important that you have an automated backup routine for your important files.
And there are a number of ways you can approach backing up your PC, depending on your situation. If you're using Windows 8 or 10, the easiest way to automate your backups is to use the built-in File History feature. Hook up an external drive, turn File History on, and Windows automatically backs up your important files. Not only does it work as a full-featured backup, File History also lets you pull up previous versions of your files.
Windows 10 also includes the old Windows 7 backup tools, which you can use to set up a scheduled backup to an external or networked drive. You can set a backup routine that backs up specific files or that captures entire hard drives as an image that you can easily restore.
If you're looking for even more customizability in your automated backups, we highly recommend taking a look at Macrium Reflect. The free edition lets you create live images of your drives, provides several different styles of backup, and gives you a lot of scheduling flexibility. The paid version for home users adds the ability to back up individual files and folders (rather than just an image backup), encrypted backups, and more backup styles.
And while these tools we've mentioned are great for keeping local backups of your data, a good off-site or online backup is something else worth taking a look at. Having your data saved at a different location can help protect you against big things like fire, theft, or natural disaster.
This guide should definitely get you started in figuring out how to run common Windows maintenance tasks automatically. Obviously, there are a lot more things you can automate in Windows than we've covered here.

What to Look For In a Computer?
In 2018 when asking what to look for in a computer we have so many different choices at much lower prices than ever before. So let us start by looking at what is now the typical computer in the home?
Over the years the computer market has undergone major changes and now PC Desktops, All-In-Ones are not as popular as they were and laptops/notebooks have become more popular, this started to occur once they dropped below the magical $1000 price in 2005.
Desktop PC – standard and slimline (also called low profile).
All-In-One computer such as the iMac or offerings from HP and Dell.
Laptops (notebooks) and Netbooks (lower powered less weight) units.
Portability: every computer is a compromise between power and portability. The gaming laptops or desktops tend to be bigger, heavier and more powerful than the standard fare. If portability is required then the obvious choice is a laptop or netbook. Apple MacBooks sell well in portability/weight area as they are light, made of aluminium so therefore very sturdy and thin. Desktops and All-In-ones on the other hand are completely immobile. They need a dedicated area to be setup in.
Power and Price: More power and usually therefore more price means that more room is required inside the computer to avoid overheating. This is a big killer of computers of any design. If you want power then a desktop would be the way to go. Power consumption in a laptop is generally less than an equivalent desktop. This may not necessarily be the case in some NUC (Next Unit Computing) units which are small cubes often 4x4x2" (100x100x50mm). However the monitor needed or used would take more power than a laptop's monitor.
Screen size: Most laptops are in the 11" to 15.6" range. Some do get to 17" but that's when they stop. A laptop can usually have an external monitor attached so that could help in some cases for people who like the now standard 19" and up monitors. If that is what you require then check that availability before you buy the laptop.
Flexibility: If flexibility is on your list of what to look for in a computer then a PC is probably best. With a laptop you "get what you purchase". Other than small changes such as adding more memory (RAM) that would be about it. With desktops you have a vast choice of processors, the amount of memory, several internal Hard Disk Drives or SSDs, more than one DVD/Blu-ray player, choice of video cards and expansion cards. All these latter items are generally unavailable with laptops. If it isn't built in when you buy it then most likely it's not available.
Posture: Experts recommend that the computer screen be at eye level and then the keyboard and mouse be at a different level. All this is impossible to obtain with a laptop at the same time, other than adding external monitors, external keyboards and mice, which then makes the laptop not as portable as it once was.
Buying a computer does depend on "horses for courses" in that deciding what and where you want to do you computing will eventually depend on what you purchase. The most popular makes for 2017 are listed below.
We trust that this blog on what to look for in a laptop or what to look for in a computer helps you in deciding which computer you should buy. It may also interest you to know that we custom build computers which offers you a great deal more choice and can be tailored exactly to your needs.
After taking delivery of a new desktop PC – whether you bought a branded (i.e. HP, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, etc.) you need to spend some time to perform an initial or first-time PC setup in order to get it running. This includes plugging in all necessary cables, a monitor (if applicable), mouse and keyboard (wired or cordless), speakers, a printer/ scanner, in addition to setting up the Windows Operating System and productivity software like MS Office, Anti-Virus.
Other peripheral devices such as speakers and web cam.
All essential cables such as power for monitor and PC and video connector for monitor.
Connecting the various cables for a PC is an easy part of a PC setup. Included in the box that your new PC came in should be a power cable. This cable plugs into a wall socket or power board and into the power supply on your desktop which is usually located at the rear of the case – usually at the bottom, but sometimes at the top. It is fairly easy to spot. Sometimes, there is also an on and off switch next to the plug, which you will need to ensure is in the ON position once fully plugged in.
Next step in the PC setup, is the monitor setup. Depending on what sort of monitor you get there are multiple different cables that go from the PC to the monitor. This includes Display Port, HDMI, DVI and VGA.
Each connection has its advantages and disadvantages; HDMI is restricted to 60 Hz and is generally used for TV's but works perfectly fine for the usual 60 Hz monitor. Display Port is used for 144 Hz displays, and DVI is an older connection that works fine with 1080p monitors, but usually limited to monitors up to and including 24 inches with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1600. Keep in mind that all of these cables are digital so they all have the same quality it is just some extra features that make the difference, but the common user see one.
Using cables featuring any of these connection types is straight forward. One side of the plug goes into the monitor and the other into the back of the PC, it is generally pretty easy to tell which plug goes where as they all have rather distinct features. Once plugged in make sure the monitor is plugged in and working.
After this you must plug-in your mouse and keyboard, this is again fairly easy as they will both be USB and plugged into the back of the PC. Universal Serial Bus or USB has been around for a number of years and is one of the best and most reliable connections and is the only one available for wired and wireless mice and keyboard. Some computers, especially custom-built systems, may still include 1 or 2 older style PS2 connectors (coloured green and purple and circular in shape) for older style mice and keyboards.
Lastly, don't forget to connect your speakers if you have these as well. Usually, there is a small round socket at the rear of case – often coloured light-green, for you to connect your speaker cable.
After you have done all of this, boot up the computer and make sure that the monitor is working, If something is not working check that all the cables at the back of the PC have been correctly and fully plugged in to the right socket and restart the computer. If a problem still persists contact us at GCComp.
You then need to follow the on-screen dialogue which will guide you through the Windows Operating System setup. The Windows OS setup can be fairly easy as there are simple questions such as what language and keyboard setup you want. After a few minutes Windows will complete the setup/ installation on your new PC, and you will be successfully up and running.
At this stage of the PC setup you will need to connect to the internet. To do this you have two options, wireless or Ethernet. If your PC has Ethernet only then you must run a cable from your router to your PC and plug it in. If you have wireless capabilities simply find your WI-FI router under the list and input the password. Once connected make sure that your PC is completely up to date as there may be some vital updates that could cause your PC to not work as expected.
Our recommendation is that you opt for a customised setup. That way, you can decide whether to set up your new PC using a Microsoft account, a user password, etc. We strongly recommend that you update the Windows operating system first before installing your other applications and copying across your data.
Call us on 072-898-0362 to answer your questions or to provide Computer and IT Support, we would be happy to hear from you. We at GCComp have the experience and technical knowledge to help you with your technology issues "We know technology so you don't have to".
How Does Your Business Identify Risky Mobile Apps?
As you are in no doubt aware, BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, is taking the business world by storm. This forces employers and IT departments alike to consider the security ramifications of letting employees use their personal devices in the workplace. What's the security situation of your BYOD policy look like?
While there is a lot of concern over the security of mobile devices and applications associated with BYOD, it certainly still has its merits. Letting employees use their own personal devices can improve morale and significantly improve productivity, since workers might find the ability to work after-hours encouraging. However, all good things have some stipulations, and BYOD is no different. Business owners that take advantage of BYOD must consider the security risks in order to achieve the most productivity with minimal chance of a data breach.
According to a recent study, even businesses that have a BYOD policy aren't entirely certain how to protect their infrastructure from the various threats unique to BYOD, and how to manage the risk of these elements.
71 percent of enterprises will have a BYOD policy put into place within the next two years. Therefore, it's safe to say that it's a growing trend that will quickly overtake your industry, if it hasn't already.
69 percent of enterprises will put security measures in place to block risky application behaviour within the next two years.
71 percent of enterprises claim that security is at the top of their priority list for BYOD.
While plenty of businesses have every intention of putting a BYOD security risk management protocol into place, this is very different from having one actually established.
55 percent of enterprises don't have a set-in-stone list of applications that they consider risky for their business.
61 percent of enterprises don't know what type of application behaviours they should deem risky.
16 percent of enterprises report that their current BYOD policies result in a lower level of application risk.
As previously mentioned, while most businesses have plans to integrate a BYOD risk management policy, they don't really know how to handle it. This is alarming news, especially considering how simple it is to let a security issue into your network from an employees device.
Handling BYOD is simple and easy to manage with GCComp's mobile device management solution. Included is a comprehensive mobile security solution designed to keep threats at bay, as well as the ability to whitelist and blacklist certain applications. This keeps them from gathering information that might be sensitive or confidential.
What is Mobile Device Management and How Can It Impact My Business?
Many questions arise when it comes to mobile device management. What happens if an employee loses their device or leaves the company? Is your company's information safe, secure and backed up? Can employees work from anywhere at any time using this service? Mobile device management is a type of security software used to monitor, manage and secure employees' mobile devices that are utilized across multiple mobile service providers and operating systems.
With mobile device management there are so many opportunities to take your business to the next level. You have the ability to oversee company-issued devices and control how devices are used within your office. Take a look at the benefits of mobile device management and the reasons why your company needs it now.
With mobile device management you can protect against stolen or lost devices and former employees with company information on their personal mobile devices. You have the capacity to quickly and easily erase confidential information from any device.
Having up-to-date systems is vital to the success of your company. With mobile device management these updates can be centrally controlled and audited, protecting your data and devices.
If your company chooses to permit employees to use their own devices you could see decent savings. Typically, employers are sceptical about people using their personal phones to access certain data because the device is not owned by the company. Though activity must still be monitored, this is an excellent way to save some money by not having to provide devices. Plus, employees feel more comfortable using their own.
Assure that your employees are taking the same security steps you are on their personal and company devices by coordinating security provisions. That means things like password regulations, access limitations, and identity management will all have to go through procedural protocols to keep your business safe.
Rest assured knowing that you can regulate and take control of what your employees can and cannot do on their devices while on the clock. By having the capability to monitor all activity, you are connected and can guarantee the safety and well-being of your device at all times.
You can be confident in knowing that a GCComp technician can help you retrieve control of the mobile devices in your company! Provide your business with the flexibility of mobile device management. When you take advantage of these features, you can increase productivity in your organization without compromising the safety of your business.

GCComp Computer Repair & Maintenance will attempt to explain cloud computing to you in a way which is simple and easy to follow, including the key benefits and disadvantages offered by particular types of cloud-based computing.
Just like those fluffy formations in the sky, clouds take on many different forms, depending on what kind of hosting your business prefers.
Public clouds: When a business takes advantage of a public cloud, they're using services provided over a publicly accessible network, usually by an external third-party vendor. Public clouds are particularly useful for start-ups or smaller business ventures, as they are often affordable and readily accessible. This also means that the responsibility of a self-hosted cloud isn't placed on your business's shoulders; however, there's a notable lack of security and control provided by the public cloud.
Private clouds: In direct contrast to the public cloud, the private cloud is generally hosted in-house on a private network. This allows for greater data security through the use of security-augmenting devices and applications.
Hybrid clouds: A hybrid cloud solution is like the middle ground between both public and private clouds. An example of a hybrid cloud is one which allows your business to host confidential corporate data on-premises in a private cloud, while taking advantage of a public cloud for the roll out of mission-critical applications (i.e. software as a service).
Hopefully, we've helped clear up any confusion you might have as a business owner. If you haven't yet considered integrating the cloud into your computing infrastructure, we at GCComp can be of service. We'll bring our experience in IT consultation to the table and help you decide which cloud solution is right for your business.
A business owner knows how important data backup is, but they might not have the time or knowledge to seek out the best solution for their business. Unfortunately, disasters can happen when you least expect it, and this unpredictability holds the future of your company hostage. Before jumping into a particular backup solution, think about where your business currently stands, and what options you have available to you.
Have you ever taken the time to think about your current backup situation? Even if you've never really thought about it, your organization probably has at least some type of backup solution at its disposal. One method that's commonly used is tape, which stores data on tape cartridges for data restoration purposes. Others that are commonly used (more by the consumer rather than business) are external USB drives or hard disk drives; though, it should be mentioned that these devices don't particularly cover data backup best practices.
The biggest question that you want to ask yourself when analysing your current backup situation is whether or not it's what you feel your business deserves. Naturally, you want only the best solution for your data backup needs, and tape has plenty of limitations that can hold your operations back. If your backups are stored on-site, a disaster could destroy them, along with the rest of your infrastructure. Furthermore, tape can take a long time to restore from.
The best backup solution out there is one that brings about minimal downtime in the face of a disaster, therefore mitigating data loss and lost revenue. This solution can back up your data to both the cloud and somewhere off-site, so that you can get back in action as soon as possible. A comprehensive solution like this might seem out of reach for a small or medium-sized business, but it doesn't have to be.
Gccomp Computer Repair & Maintenance is skilled at bringing enterprise-level solutions designed to optimize operations to the small business, at a scalable, affordable price. The most comprehensive response to these common issues is GCComp's Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution, which brings the best of data backup and disaster recovery to bear in one complete package. Our BDR is capable of taking multiple backups throughout the day and sending them to the cloud, and a secure off-site data centre. This lets you access the backups as soon as you need to, like in the event that a disaster prevents your business from functioning properly.
Our BDR is so efficient that it's even capable of acting as a server unit in the event your current infrastructure goes down. This is useful if the hardware is somehow inoperable, like following a hacking attack or a hardware failure. This minimizes downtime and gives your business enough time to figure out a more permanent fix to the problem, without wasting precious time doing so.

They kept pace and made sure the baton completed the journey so we all get to enjoy this celebration at the finish line.
Editorial lead Tom Brevoort has always been at the forefront of these weekly Avengers projects. His leadership carried them from the wisp of an initial idea into something so much more. I can't thank him enough for having faith and trust in our crew, giving us the freedom to come up with these crazy stories and guidance to see them through to the end.
Editor-In-Chief CB Cebulski was in the room as we developed the story that would become No Road Home. He let us run wild with ideas, and helped refocus us when we'd gotten off track. He also had the brilliant suggestion of adding Rocket to our cast, an outside-the-box idea that brought a lot of joy and pathos to the final story.
Like the Avengers themselves, these books are a team effort and being a part of this team has been a thrill.
Thank you for this wonderful experience, again. It's stunning to be a part of it and it's stunning to hear from so many people that we delivered the goods and made our mark.
