For six years until December, Chaltu from Ambo in Oromia was a nurse in Teltelle town of that region's vast Borena Zone. But last month she ended up borderline destitute in Addis Ababa with her six-year-old daughter Sifanni.
Great Oromo Migration north on to Ethiopia in the 1500s from their homelands in Kenya and Somalia may have looked similar to the OPDO and OLF land grabs from tribes bordering Oromo.
1. political policy created problems?
2. a new gov not- in- control created problem?
3. brutally oppressed people unable to accept and manage freedom?
There is progressive work on communal conflicts across south. Can we compile and combine country wide current profile in a comprehensive manner to depict the real picture? Common cause if any???
I understand it if far from being complete. It is the ice_berg.
I believe communal efforts to resolve unnecessary conflicts by the megalomaniac OLF is a good thing. But it won't be enough. Benishangul and Gambella successfully repelled OLF aggression by having public guardians.
In addition, the EU, the UN and the US must be informed of human rights violations by Ethiopia's Abiy government complicit behavior of negligence to protect civilians.
Amaras reported human right right violation against their ethnic group by TPL led EPRDF. Ormos did the same. Somalis did the same. Sidama did seek the protection of British parliament on human right violations during the massacre in that zone years back.
Alliance for good cause seems must for both local and national political game. Not only for politics. Also for integrated socioeconomic life.
The sad fact common across south is the NNP were rendered insensitive to other cause until thier own door is knocked. This have been increased their victim status more than ever and high probability to continue.
…. Thenballiance seems solution though mobilizing like minded vanguards seems daunting task.
"…SNNP rendered insensitive to other causes until their own doors were knocked." They need more knocking.
It would be invaluable if you could publish the views of the youth of the SNNP that could have been the qeerroo of Ormo or Fano of Amara to disown the SNNPR gov unless it becomes sensitive to the people.
Let's make noise, you and I, for now, on Ethiopia Insight.
The only guarantee to the safety of family, community and protection your land for Garri, Burji, Gedoe, Amaro, Gurage and other ethnic groups that share border with the OLF is when each ethnic group of nation establishes its defence force. Population size does not matter, Benishangul-Gumuz is an example. Every group mentioned above knows that OLF is a threat to their lives, properties and lands. However, they still fail to organize and create a militia force of guardians.
Time to end being too nice!!
The solutions are known to everybody. Citizenship politics, disarming the militias, handing over power from ethnic entrepreneurs to professional civil service, law&order for the unrecoverable hooligans, educating children about the 3000 years of common accomplishments rather than about tribal bickering. And when all is done, redistricting the country by geographic federalism.
Time to get up and work ?
You sound like a Zionist Jew speaking their superiority over Palestinians why they dispossess of their lands.
Stop getting drunk on such myth. You would help peace reign in dammed Ethiopia by willful mistakes of the ill-advised.
3000 years of common history I maintain it.
Do you think it is by chance that we share a unique culture in the world, from Asosa to Jigjiga ?
Even 1 billion Chinese accept they have common culture, I dont see whats difficult for 100 million Ethiopians.
No evidence for 300 years of common history.
Excellent article backed with data showing the extent of the problem. Is it really possible to create a coherent and stable state with so many tribes and clans? I don't think so. .
Almost all ethnic groups in SNNP have a population size by far greater than the population of Hararis which is just below 16,000 people.
Political representation is a right. Fairly negotiated federal, regional, Warada political districts can be designed based on population size for each district. If a federal district of 50, 000 people holds two linguistic groups, election of a new member shall alternate between the two linguistic groups at end of each term.

Luísa Semedo (IFL): "Ethics of Empathy: From Theory to Practice"
Luísa Semedo received his PhD from the University Paris-Sorbonne. She is an associate member of the research team of the Institute for Philosophy of Language (IFL) at the New University of Lisbon and a research team member of the IFL project "Cognitive Foundations of the Self".
Title: "Ethics of Empathy: From Theory to Practice"
Date, Time, Place: 29/03/2013, 4pm, Salle de Réunion du Pavillon Jardin
Abstract: In this talk I will present some of the main ideas of my PhD dissertation entitled "Towards an Ethics of Empathy" and its outcomes, both theoretical and practical. Empathy is an early, universal and flexible faculty which allows us to be affected (emotional empathy, empathic distress, contagion, imitation), to recognize (cognitive empathy, empathic concern, perspective taking, simulation, imagination) and to respond (empathic action, altruism, trust, cooperation, respect) properly to the subjectivity of others. This behavior can range from simple social coordination to a true ethical conduct. I will review and discuss these different components of empathy, and I will argue that there is a necessary link between emotion, cognition and morality. My hypothesis is that we can build a coherent and pragmatic ethics of empathy and to support this purpose I will present some of the most recent, French and international, initiatives in education of empathy and also my own project (in progress), "Philo'Ensemble", an interdisciplinary association that aims to raise awareness among citizens, especially among young people, to the issue of "living together", through the fight against discrimination and the strengthening of social ties.

Downside of being a hobby photographer: 22% of my entire gear weight is my camera and half of my entire gear weight will be worn. Auch! Because of this I've spent a lot of money on lowering the weight of all my other gear though. The camera is now the only luxury item I carry and I feel that justifies it's weight.
My entire gear weight will be approximately 7.63kg (17 lbs) with the worn camera weighing in at 1.34 kg (3 lbs). All the extras brought along only for the camera is an additional 360g (12.5 oz) and the base weight excluding the camera is at an impressive 3.8 kg (8.3 lbs). I'm pretty happy with the end result to be honest.
As I recently had all my camera gear stolen I also had the unique opportunity to upgrade everything. I thought about downgrading and only carrying a pocket camera like most people do, but then I remembered what it was like to have a crappy camera to blame for my bad photos–I much rather be blaming myself.
I expect having a full frame camera for the first time will be a big change. Night photography with high ISOs here I come!
There's nothing better than multipurpose gear! At first I wasn't planning on carrying trekking poles at all but when I found this tripod "adapter" it suddenly became much more appealing. Only downside is I won't be able to take milkyway photos with my tent in the foreground as the poles will be used for pitching my tent as well. I'm assuming I at some point will be camping together with other hikers who could borrow me their trekking poles though.
This one is a bit of an experiment. The Capture clip sounds like an awesomly useful gadget, but the added weight on my shoulders is a concern. Worst scenario is I ship the clip back home at some point. I also bought a capture compatible release plate for the Trail-Pix tripod adapter which makes the combination even more appealing.
Filters: ND 9-stops & polarizer.
For those who don't know, ND filters are darkened glass you place in front of your lens to dramatically decrease the amount of light captured. This can be used to slow down the shutter speed and take those silky-smooth water photos you've seen. I thought this might be something fun to play around with and it only adds about 50g (1.8oz) to my base weight. In addition to the ND filter I will also be carrying a polarizing filter to remove the reflection from water. Usually these filters are also used for darkening the sky but due to my ultra wide-angle lens I dont think I can use it for that purpose. If the angle from the light source is too wide it will cause uneven shades across the sky.
Another experiment I'm hopeful for as long as it arrives in time for my start date in June. Just like Capture and Trail-Pix, Heli-On is another product originating from Kickstarter. I'm really starting to enjoy all the niche products you can find there. If it doesn't work out I might go for Solar paper instead. Relying only on a power bank is not something I want to do as that would force me to regularly stay in towns as I recharge my gear. A solar charger gives much more freedom in my opinion and now I doubt I need to carry more than one spare battery as the charger has a built in 2600 mAh power-bank that's able to recharge my battery 2.5 times.
After some research I couldn't really find any necessary apps to help me out. There were some exposure calculators but the math is easy enough to do in your head without wasting battery life. I do have Sky Map installed since before and it could be useful for locating the milkyway but from experience I've always been able to see it with my eyes only. I just need to keep track of new moons.


A total of 66 finance executives, lawyers, and entrepreneurs attended SGV's 2015 Tax Updates seminar at the GlassHouse of the New World Makati Hotel last 6 October 2015.
After SGV Chief Financial Officer Ruben Rubio delivered his opening remarks, Tax partners Atty. Louie Ferrer (LPF), Atty. Jong Vergara (JRV), Kiko Ricamora (FJR) and Atty. Ruby Aquino (RBA) provided a comprehensive update on issuances and rulings by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), as well as relevant court decisions issued during the year.
JRV discussed international tax updates while LPF covered income tax and withholding tax. RBA then talked on taxpayer's remedies and BIR procedures before FJR updated participants on value-added tax laws.
Awareness and understanding of these tax developments are crucial to ensure compliance and manage tax risks. Click here for more information on upcoming SGV tax seminars.

SKYE'S "AIN'T NO NEED": A REVISIT
August 16, 2021 1 O-Dub 45s disco newsletter
(This was originally created for the new Soul Sides Stray newsletter. Subscribe here.)
Skye: "Ain't No Need" (Unity Edit) (Anada, 1976)
This is a revisit of sorts though I haven't written about the Skye single since 2008. It' a disco 45 where I'm continually surprised that dancers don't seem to adore it as much as I do. In my more active DJing days, I was convinced it would be a floor-filler and while it wasn't quite a floor-killer, it just never produced the kind of reaction I assumed/hoped for. People just treated it like…whatever and it made me want to grab a mic and shout "you fools, this is amazing! What' wrong with the lot of you?!"
But c'est la vie. Maybe I've had the wrong crowds. Or maybe I'm just alone on this hill (I don't think so though).
Skye traces its beginning back to JFK High School in Richmond CA where members of the school jazz band, including Johnnie "Sargent" Tucker, Kevin Burton, Carl Lockett, Kevin Lockett, Michael Jeffries, Michael Griggs and Marciel Garner, formed into Two Things in One. They drew the interest of Ray Dobard's prolific Bay Area label, Music City, who released their first single "Silly Song/Snag Nasty" as the Music City Two In One in 1971 but later, the group' name was changed to The Two Things In One by 1973. Officially, they only released two more singles on Music City but the bulk of all their recordings were compiled back in 2011 for the Together Forever anthology.
In 2011, I interviewed Alec Palao, who compiled that anthology, for my Sidebar podcast and he was the first person from whom I learned about the connection between Two Things In One and Skye; totally blew my mind since I knew of both groups but not how they were linked. Skye was formed by most of the former members of The Two Things In One after a relocation to L.A. to continue pursuing recording opportunities. This included lead singer Michael Jeffries, drummer Marcel Garner, bassist Sargent Tucker, guitarists Carl Lockett and Michael Griggs, plus newcomer Greg Levias on keys.
Skye was signed to Anada, a subsidiary of A&M. The imprint only released two singles in the '70s, both collectible disco jams: the aforementioned "Ain't No Need" and a self-titled release from Family Tree. (Anada also placed the "disco versions" of both songs on a very sought-after 12″.
Back in 2008, writing about about songs, I had this to say about "Ain't No Need":
"Ain't No Need" is the kind of song I want to wrap around me like a sleeping bag. Everything about this is sublime to me. It's practically all chorus in essence but the chord progressions and instrumentation combine so beautifully that you can lose yourself inside the groove forever.
Let me add (13 years later): the main groove powering the song feels like the platonic ideal of what great disco should sound like: driving and energetic but very importantly, also uplifting. If Jeffries's lyrics are to be taken at face value, this is a breakup song but it doesn't feel like one, quite the opposite. It feels euphoric, even perhaps spiritual in how the groove and Jeffries's vocals keep cycling over and over. It becomes a literally repetitive song yet it's anything but static in its kineticism. This is precisely why I don't understand it doesn't light up the dance floor; I find it completely irresistible in making me want to move something.
In any case, a few year ago, Jeffries and Garner sold off dead stock copies of "Ain't No Need" and in doing so, helped fill in some of the history behind its recording, namely that it was taped during a 10 hour session in the spring of 1976 and released a few months later in the summer.
The outstanding questions I'd still have: what studio was it taped at? Why did A&M create Anada and why did it have so few releases? How was the single initially received? Etc. More I think about this, the song would make a great candidate for a future Single Servings episode.

Sargent Tucker says:
Fact, Paul Harvey, was recruited to manage the group "Two Things In One" (TTIO) by Johnnie Tucker (aka) Sargent Tucker, (ST) the band leader during this period. Here are some facts surrounding, (TTIO) who in my opinion foolishly changed their name from (TTIO) to SKYE. A move that was spearheaded by Jeffries, and Co-signed by Garner and Griggs; three original members of (TTIO). This action was taken against the the advise of Johnnie Tucker by a majority vote of (3 to 1). Thus, only the remaining four original members were allowed to vote on the name change. Original member Kevin Burton who wrote the majority of the original songs, including "Silly Song", had a left the group a few years prior. During the period of the name change, the make up of the group consisted of : Kevin and Carl Lockett; the later Carl had just joined the group, Marvin Williams (aka) Pepper Williams, Michael Griggs, Marciel Garner, and Michael Jeffries. Thus, these are the folks I'm absolutely sure were present during the vote. However, I'm not sure if the recently added female vocalist who had also started singing with the group name, Maleah Franklin, and/or Greg Lavias were in attendance?

Steel Panther To Release Live Acoustic Album In February
Comments Off on Steel Panther To Release Live Acoustic Album In February
Los Angeles glam-metal jokesters STEEL PANTHER will release a new acoustic album in February. The effort was recorded this past October at Swing House Rehearsal & Recordingin Atwater Village, California.
STEEL PANTHER singer Michael Starr told "Another FN Podcast With Izzy Presley" about the forthcoming unplugged record: "It's gonna be accompanied with a DVD as well. We're gonna debut a few new tunes on this actual unplugged, and we're not gonna put out the new songs recorded [on a proper studio album]… We're gonna actually record them live and release 'em."
Although the STEEL PANTHER acoustic album already has a title, Starr declined to reveal it during an interview with South Detroit SoundHouse. He said (see video below): "The title is really cool. We fought tooth and nail with the record label regarding the title, 'cause they wanted us to change it. And I said, 'No. I ain't changing nothing.' And we didn't. So you're gonna love the title. It's fucking sexy."
STEEL PANTHER is coming back to Las Vegas for three nights in January. They will perform at the House Of Blues on January 8, January 15 and January 22.
STEEL PANTHER's third album, "All You Can Eat", sold around 13,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 24 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD arrived in stores on April 1, 2014 via Open E/KLS.

Metal great Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead dead at 70

By Chris Barton
The metal community shook late Monday with news that singer, bassist and songwriter Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister from the influential British metal band Motörhead had died. He was 70.
The news was confirmed Monday by the band's former publicist, who had been informed through a friend of the band. A short time later, Motörhead released a statement on Facebook.
"There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from The Rainbow which had recently made it's way down the street, with his family.
"We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren't words."

Lemmy first picked up a guitar at 16, after being among those who caught the early Beatles at the Cavern Club in Liverpool. He later was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. In the early '70s, he spent four years in the space-rock band Hawkwind before being forced out in 1975, which led to his formation of the power-trio Motörhead.
"I was fired out of every other band I was ever in, so I had to start my own group," Kilmister told The Times in 2010. "They couldn't fire me out of that."
Leading Motörhead, Lemmy cut an imposing figure with his mutton-chop sideburns and handlebar mustache as he sang hard-hitting songs into a microphone tilted down from above his head. The band was known for a loud-and-fast sound, exemplified with the 1980 favorite "Ace of Spades."
In her 2015 memoir "Reckless," the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde wrote, "True to the ethos of rock, Lemmy was forever unchanging. It's one of those inexplicable phenomena inherent to rock stars, the opposite of reinvention.
"Wherever he may be, he remains in a pub off St. Luke's Road, the actual location totally irrelevant. Not so much time travel, as untravel."
"Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today," wrote Ozzy Osbourne on Twitter on Monday. "He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side."

Classifying lithologies and facies is important to distinctly define rocks of interest and to build a better understanding of the depositional environments encountered in the wellbore.
Typical reservoir properties considered for lithology prediction are mineral composition, especially volume of sand and clay, porosity, fluid saturations and texture characteristics.
Petrophysical facies classification for seismic reservoir characterization workflows integrates log data with core or cuttings data and production data to define facies properties. Rock physics modeling establishes the elastic relationships between those rock properties and the seismic response.
With those relationships established, an integrated seismic inversion and classification workflow utilizing multi-dimensional probability density functions (PDFs) for each possible facies and a supervised Bayesian classification scheme generates probability cubes for the distribution of the different facies that have been defined with lithology and fluid properties. This methodology, grounded with real-world petrophysical measurements, quantifies uncertainty in seismic lithology and facies prediction while providing a superior definition of the lithology classes.
The predicted facies and fluid volumes are the foundation for advanced earth modeling.

Some Justice (at least)
One of the symptoms is crime…
(Thanks to Susan for the news tip)
A former aide to a Democrat U.S. senator has been sentenced to four years in prison for "mass doxxing of Republicans," "the largest data breach in Senate history" (https://thepoliticalinsider.com/former-senate-aide-gets-four-years-in-prison-for-mass-doxxing-of-republicans/).
"Doxxing" means the online broadcast of personal information for the purpose of intimidation–in this case, an effort to intimidate Republican senators from voting to confirm Judge Brett Kavanagh to the Supreme Court last year. The judge called it "a rather vicious offense." For some inscrutable reason, the social media giants don't ban it. At least, not when a leftid does it.
Jackson Cosko, who was an aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), will get four years in prison plus three years' probation. His accomplice has been charged with tampering with evidence in a criminal case.
The judge cited a Democrat's 2017 attempt to assassinate Republican members of Congress as they were enjoying a baseball practice. Congressman Steve Scalise was shot and almost killed.
Democrats have this idea that their political positions are so ineffably right that it's permissible to terrorize anyone who disagrees with them: mobbing them on the street, chasing them out of restaurants–and using the social media to encourage more "activists" to do the same. This, said the judge, has to be stopped.
We applaud Republican senators for not giving in to this. Had Kavanagh's appointment been defeated by such tactics, it would have set a precedent very dangerous to the survival of our constitutional republic.
Read Plutarch's descriptions of the last days of the Roman Republic–gangs supporting rival politicians hunting each other through the streets as the rule of law dissolved in violence. The end result was the replacement of elected representatives by an emperor who had to be worshiped as a god–or else.
I think Democrats would like that–don't you?

Predetermination in Particular Schooling – What Can You Do About It?
Are you the guardian of a kid with autism, studying incapacity, or a bodily incapacity that has been struggling to get your little one an acceptable particular schooling? Do you assume that particular schooling personnel come to Particular person Academic Plan (IEP) conferences already determined about your kid's placement or wanted providers? This text can be discussing predetermination, particular schooling, and methods to beat this.The People with Disabilities Schooling Act (IDEA) states little one has the best to a free acceptable public schooling (FAPE). Dad and mom have the best to be concerned in all choices made for his or her kid's schooling. Particular schooling personnel might deliver a draft IEP to the assembly, however provided that they're keen to vary the IEP to permit parental enter.Predetermination is outlined as faculty personnel making unilateral choices a couple of little one earlier than the IEP assembly, with out parental enter, and refusing to take heed to parental enter in the course of the assembly. Or faculty district personnel presenting a take it or go away it IEP. If a guardian brings data little one wants a specific associated or particular schooling service and proof that the kid wants it, faculty district personnel are required to a minimum of "consider" the enter. The issue is that many particular schooling personnel have already determined or predetermined what placement or providers can be provided.
In a nicely know predetermination case the court docket discovered faculty district had an unofficial coverage of denying all requests for Utilized Behavioral Evaluation (ABA) applications; regardless of proof little one required it. On this case the dad and mom paid for a non-public ABA program by which the kid made large progress. The varsity district was excited concerning the kid's progress till the dad and mom requested for reimbursement; then they refused to pay. The court docket discovered that the varsity district wouldn't take heed to the dad and mom or their consultants, concerning the kid's want for ABA. This was predetermination and the courts dominated that the dad and mom had the best to reimbursement for the personal ABA program.In one other predetermination case the court docket discovered that regardless of proof little one was making nice progress at a non-public faculty, and continued to wish the providers that the personal faculty provided, the varsity district solely positioned the kid within the personal faculty as a result of they had been engaged on a plan to transition him to a district primarily based placement. They refused to take heed to the guardian or the dad and mom consultants, that the kid wanted to proceed to attend the personal faculty to obtain FAPE. The court docket decided that this was predetermination; and the kid was in a position to proceed on the personal faculty at public expense.It's my opinion that predetermination happens when a faculty district makes unilateral choices a couple of kid's schooling regardless of proof on the contrary, and refuses significant parental enter. Additionally when a take it or go away it IEP is introduced to oldsters.Learn how to overcome predetermination:1. Deliver documentation of your kid's instructional must the IEP assembly and share with particular schooling personnel; colleges should think about all data introduced by dad and mom.
2. Dad and mom have to be significant contributors within the IEP course of. Relay the court docket rulings to particular schooling personnel that if a guardian is just not allowed significant participation within the improvement of their kid's IEP, predetermination and denial of FAPE could also be discovered.three. If particular schooling personnel nonetheless refuse to permit you enter or solely give one possibility for providers or placement, think about a state criticism for violation of IDEA.four. Have an Impartial Academic Analysis (IEE) carried out in your little one to find out what associated and particular schooling providers your little one wants. Make it possible for the evaluator you decide is just not solely keen to check your little one however to jot down a complete and concise report that features suggestions for wanted associated and particular schooling providers.Predetermination is dangerous for kids with disabilities as a result of it denies kids the providers that they should profit from their schooling. Preserve advocating-your little one is price it!

Top Ten Most Influential Comics Artists: An Afterthought
Now that the list of top ten most influential comics artists is done, I'd like to share a few thoughts on the matter.
I think it's very telling that influence can be very detrimental when it comes to mass market production. Seven of the ten artists I listed can actually be blamed for many trends in comics today that I consider detrimental.
Bill Sienkiewicz paved the way for a lot of digital and mixed media comics that seem to exist to be pretty, or abstract, or distorted, and not really in the service of a story (though there are some gems out there, I'll give it that), as if people tend to overlook the fact that Bill Sienkiewicz could tell a story using these things.
George Perez proved you could put together a lot of characters all at once. Sure, Secret Wars came out before Crisis on Infinite Earths, but it was Crisis that really put the companywide crossover on the map. Such events have been the lifeblood of the DC Comics and Marvel Comics for years. You literally cannot go to a comic book store now and not see a poster advertising a big event. From Infinity Gauntlet to Genesis to Civil War to Secret Invasion to Siege to Infinite Crisis to Final Crisis to Blackest Night, it's all about these big stories that would be blockbuster movies if Hollywood had the money to produce it. People tend to forget George's considerable skill in drawing more intimate, human stories as well.
Even Jim Steranko, as the Professor has pointed out, could be blamed for the "Let's make every other page a splash page" trend that really took off in the mid-90s! Although this one has probably more to do with ego and being able to sell pages at cons.
Neal Adams used photorealistic art as a basis, but exaggerating when he could to show gesture and emotion. But since he made it clear that it was okay to use photos, we then get things like this, with people just taking the very superficial bones of Adams's influence, without actually looking at what made it work.
Robert Crumb, of course, proved that you could let a reader into your world, but also paved the way for a lot of slouching, defeated, misanthropic personalities, most of whom are neurotic people you wouldn't want to spend time with, and semi- to autobiographical stories about artists who are depressed. Thankfully, I'm seeing less and less of this as time goes on.
Jack Kirby, of course, saved the genre from itself, but then made sure that superheroes were once again the dominant genre in the American market. People tend to forget or overlook that he pioneered and contributed to so many other genres. Of course, these days, Hollywood is just now learning how to replicate Kirby techniques on the big screen, and inventiveness from most comics artists today don't match Kirby's. Content to copy Kirby, it seems that most of these people are resigned to the fact that they won't be as innovative as Kirby. Will Hollywood 40 years from now learn how to replicate the techniques of modern artists?
Osamu Tezuka's influence on the manga market was so huge, that no one can even come close to touching him in terms of influence. Note that I had to debate which order my top nine American artists went in, but there's only one Japanese artist on the list. I think that's very telling. And no matter what some people might think about other manga techniques permeating American comics, I can't really forgive decompression. Decompression works in manga because manga comes in smaller, thicker, black and white formats. Therefore, they have the time and the space to devote to setting a scene using multiple panels. American comics, in color, go for an average of US$18.00 for something like 200 pages. When setting scenes gets around three pages each, it becomes a really quick read. For example, in the Ultimate Spider-Man example that I discussed in the Tezuka article, the origin of Spider-Man lasts for five issues - 110 pages. That's 94 more pages than Spider-Man's origin as told by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko! And while I understand the desire to elaborate on the origin, making it more emotional (which it didn't need, Ditko's art was perfect) and giving the readers more time to get to know the characters (specifically Uncle Ben, before he died), it certainly did not need to go for five issues. Decompression may not seem like a big thing to people with a good amount of income to buy maybe ten comics a month, but for those of us with limited budgets who have to be selective when it comes to buying what we buy, it makes a huge difference.
Of those on the list, only Will Eisner, George Herriman, and Winsor McCay (and yes, Steranko) can be credited with no negative influences. I think a part of it is that a lot of their influence is less tangible (experimentation with layouts, making comics pretty, making comics move) than that of the other guys (group shots, decompression, mixed media, photorealism, neurosis, blockbuster paneling), so there's less to ape and more to emulate.
It's too bad, really. Everyone here is an excellent artist, and they should be learned from holistically and the spirit of their work should be emulated. Instead, with few truly outstanding exceptions, the market today is flooded by those who would rather imitate rather than emulate. Perez did it better; Kirby did it better; Adams did it better. They pushed the boundaries of the form to show that it shouldn't end there, but for a lot of artists, it seems, it does.
Here's to more pioneering!
For those curious, the ones that I was considering for the list but didn't end up making it for various reasons are the following:
Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man)
Carl Barks (Donald Duck)
Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates)
Hal Foster (Prince Valiant)
Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon)
Alex Toth (Space Ghost)
Frank King (Gasoline Alley)
Charles Schulz (Peanuts)
EC Segar (Popeye)
C.C. Beck (Captain Marvel)
Wally Wood (EC Comics, including MAD)
Bill Elder (EC Comics, including MAD)
Walt Kelly (Pogo)
and Jack Cole (Plastic Man)
If there's enough interest, I can write features on these guys too!

I'm frankly disappointed that Rob Liefeld didn't make this list.
Hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahhahaha!!
I'm sure there's someone out there who can make a case for Rob Liefeld being influential; I do, however think that on the whole, anyone who may have been influenced by him realized just how bad he was.

The list of writers you chose are fascinating pieces! When it comes to the list you provided, I would love to read about the artists that did Newspaper Comics, which, based on the list, are Walt Kelly, Charles Schulz, Milton Caniff, Hal Foster, Alex Raymond, Frank King and EC Segar (maybe Carl Barks too, but I don't recall him doing comic strips).

Although the Varsity Reds have the weekend off from conference play they will still be hitting the ice for some exhibition action. Tonight they head to Orono, Maine for their almost-annual tilt against the NCAA's University of Maine Black Bears. Game time is 8PM AST.
This will mark the 25th meeting all-time between the schools with UNB managing 5 wins, 15 losses, 1 tie, and 3 overtime/shootout losses so far. The V-Reds haven't defeated Maine since turning the trick in back to back year in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. You can find the complete breakdown here.
Once annual championship contenders, the Black Bears have struggled the last number of years and that has continued in the early going this season. Maine is 0-3-2 thus far, having only scored 5 goals in those games. They have been shutout in their last two games so it is apparent that putting the puck in the back of the net has been a major issue for them.
- The Black Bears feature two NHL drafts picks in forwards Nolan Vesey (Toronto, 158th overall, 2014) and Blaine Byron (Pittsburgh, 179th overall, 2013).
- Interestingly, the Black Bears have been testing out the U-HWK Show camera in recent days. The camera is 1.2 ounces and mounts to the front lip of a player's helmet. It is designed to allow athletes to capture in-game, point-of-view footage. The camera was created by former Varsity Reds Shea Kewin and Tim Priamo.
- The Bangor Daily News has posted a game preview and capsule.
- The Black Bears website also has a preview.
- For those you can't make it to the game, it will be web-cast for free. As mentioned, it gets underway at 8PM AST.

Q: Why does 'class' show 'Class' when 'ancestors.include? Class' is 'false'? I have a class User that inherits from ApplicationRecord. When I check User.ancestors.include?(Class), the result is false but for User.class, the result is Class.
What's the use case for the information supplied by the class method in such cases? What does it really tell me to be of practical use? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with inheritance.

A: User is a class. All classes are instances of the class Class (i.e., User.class #=> Class). Therefore, all instance methods defined on Class, or on Class's ancestors, can be invoked on User (i.e., every instance method of Class is a class method of User).
For example, one of Class's instance methods is instance_methods. One can therefore execute User.instance_methods to obtain an array of User's instance methods.

A:
What's the use case for the information supplied by the class method in such cases? What does it really tell me to be of practical use? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with inheritance.

class works the same way for every object. Calling class on a class provides the same information as calling class on an instance. That's because in Ruby, classes are instances, too.
'foo'.class returns String because 'foo' is an instance of String. Likewise, User.class returns Class because User is an instance of Class.
In particular, User is not an instance of ApplicationRecord.
It might not be obvious that User is an instance of Class when  creating it via the class keyword:
class User < ApplicationRecord; end

But it becomes very obvious when you create it explicitly via Class.new: (both examples produce the same result)
User = Class.new(ApplicationRecord)
User.class #=> Class

Because the above is just like: (using String.new for demonstration purposes)
foo = String.new('foo')
foo.class #=> String

A:
Classes in Ruby are first-class objects—each is an instance of class
  Class

User is an object of class Class (which inherits from Object).
class is an instance method of Object. It returns the class of the object. Therefore, User.class returns Class. Every object will have this method, and it is useful to know what the object is (e.g., for debugging). Consider this code:
1.class
# => Fixnum
"q".class
# => String

The reason why User.ancestors does not return Class is because it returns the modules included in the module. For example, Class.ancestors will include Class, but not User because User is an object of Class, which includes its own modules.

A: After reading another StackOverflow post, I realized that it can only be understood by keeping the following in mind:

*

*User class has a double role. It plays Class as well as Object.

*

*As Class, it lets other classes inherit from it.

*As Object, it inherits the class method all the way up from the Object class.

*If I wanted my User.class to behave on the traditional lines (that is, User.class shows ApplicationRecord), then I have to override
it as follows:
class User
  def self.class
    self.superclass
  end
end

Officials Euthanize GG Park Bison

One of San Francisco's famed bisons living in Golden Gate Park has died.
Staff from the San Francisco Zoo Tuesday euthanized Terry, a 20-year-old bison, who had voluntarily isolated herself from her herd a few days ago.
She had been unable to eat, drink or stand for the past several days, according to zoo officials. After administering medical assistance for two days, officials determined it was better to euthanize Terry.
Terry is survive by four female bison in the park. She was a descendant of a gift of bison given by then Mayor Dianne Feinstein's husband, Richard Blum, in 1984.
Bison were first introduced to the park in 1891, when the herd gave birth to more than 100 calves over the next several years.


Expert advice for your next bubbly buying experience.
In the early days of your New Year's Eve drinking, you probably popped something bubbly that you found on the shelves of a drugstore. Something that was definitely sparkling, but questionably Champagne. Now, as an adult, it's best to leave the Andre and Cooks in the past and move on to something worth toasting to ring in the new year.
But what the hell is that something? For help Champagne shopping, we tapped Air's Champagne Parlor owner and general bubbly expert Ariel Arce. When she's considering a bottle for the menu at her Greenwich Village spot, Arce asks a few simple questions: "Is it delicious, is it crushable, and do I want a second glass?" Here are her most important pieces advice to keep in mind when you're trolling your local wine shop this weekend.
Don't just go for the big names.
Look out for these labels.
Small producers making unique sparkling wines that are thoughtfully made. Scribe sparkling in California, Henri Milan sparkling rosé from Provence, Dhondt-Grellet in Champagne. For a general crowd-pleaser, she recommends Vertus Blanc de Blanc and Doyard Cuvée Vendémaire.
If you're buying bubbly for a lot of people, Arce says, "Magnums are considered to be the best vehicle for sparkling because they have more surface area for the wine to do its thing in. They don't evolve as fast and maintain freshness longer than a 750 [ml bottle]. Plus, it's such a boss move to have a magnum or two for parties."
If you're on a budget, look past France.
It's not technically Champagne, but nobody will care when it tastes great; Arce vouches for "rosé from Portugal, Greek sparkling wines from Santorini, and sparkling Gavi from Italy."
For those looking to ball out before the clock strikes twelve, Arce recommends "Pierre Péters anything!" But if you're looking for a name that's a little more recognizable, go for Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve or Taittinger Comtes de Champagne.

Moonlight Serenade
Whom does Mrs. Weiner work for?
By James Taranto
June 17, 2013 3:35 pm ET
Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress two years ago this Friday in a side-splitting social-media scandal, is running for mayor of New York? We don't know why, but we're now pretty sure it's not for the money. The New York Post reports that Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, "hauled in as much as $350,000 in outside income on top of Abedin's $135,000 government salary."
Far be it from this columnist to begrudge the Weiners their financial success. What's eyebrow-raising about this, though, is that Abedin, who works for the State Department, is the source of some of that outside income:

Offshore wind is finally emerging as a convincing option in creating green economic opportunities in the US. Committed political leaders and regulators are defining processes for the development of the offshore wind industry in several states. Almost 8 GW worth of offshore wind projects have already been pledged or planned along the Atlantic Coast. Along the Pacific Coast, California is finally catching upand has recently witnessed a flurry of activity.
While the economic case for offshore wind has been established, interested and prospective developers have to cope with two major challenges. The first relates to building transmission systems to integrate their offshore facilities to the main grid. The second relates to making their projects financially sound and bankable.
Global Transmission Report is organising two one-day conferences on September 17 and 18, 2018 at Andaz Wall Street, New York that will address these concerns and discuss solutions. The objective is to explore options and find solutions for designing a technologically robust and a financially sustainable offshore wind infrastructure for the US.
The conferences will have insightful and engaging sessions featuring speakers with vast experience and expertise. It will also provide the participants with ample networking opportunities to interact with the speakers, panelists and their peers, and develop contacts with potential customers, partners and collaborators.
GTR organized its first event on Offshore Wind Transmission on May 23, 2018 at Hilton Midtown in NYC, which received a very positive response from the participants. The participating organizations included BOEM, U.S. Department of Energy, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, New York Power Authority, New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), Brattle Group, Ørsted, Innogy, Con Edison Transmission, National Grid, TenneT, Anbaric, Bechtel Infrastructure, ABB, Siemens, Transmission Capital Partners, American Wire Group, ACS Industrial North America, Nexans High Voltage USA, M&I Materials, Mortenson, AP Sensing Americas, Brookfield Renewable, Enbridge, Norton Rose Fulbright, PSE&G, Hatch, LS Cable America, Ecology and Environment, Inc., General Eelctric, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Powerbridge LLC, and Clean Energy States Alliance.
The mission of the conference is to highlight the opportunities, technology and construction techniques for the development of an optimal offshore wind transmission infrastructure in the US.
The conference will provide an opportunity to learn about the latest developments, plans and policies for offshore wind in various US states. It will also address the regulatory, permitting and legal constraints and onshore bottlenecks in integrating offshore wind. Leading developers, utilities and RTOs/ISOs will present their perspectives and viewpoints on integrating large-scale offshore wind to the main onshore grid. Developers are also expected to share their transmission-related plans for their projects.
The conference will also have a dedicated session on the technology and equipment options for the US. Along with technology options, the conference will provide insights into ideal construction and procurement techniques in building offshore networks.
The mission of the conference is to highlight the funding requirements, challenges and solutions for making offshore wind projects economically viable and financially sustainable.
The conference will provide an opportunity to understand the financing requirements, investment barriers, and key considerations in evaluating the credit risk profile of projects. It will also evaluate the available and emerging options and business models to finance offshore wind transmission infrastructure. The event will also gain insights into who is financing the first wave of offshore projects in the US. It will present perspectives of both developers and investors/lenders and offer learnings from some of the early projects for the new entrants.
There will be a dedicated session on understanding the challenges involved in financing undersea transmission projects in Europe and the US and what can be learned from their experience.


Born in the once popular Victorian Spar village of Askern (Askern Spar), some nine miles north of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, once the West Riding of Yorkshire.
First home (1956) was a petite single story dwelling, build post Second World War, to house homecoming troops. These 'prefabricated' homes, expected to be used for ten years, made from steel sheets on a timber frame with a corrugated roof were insulated with the dreaded asbestos fillers and had steel (single glazed) windows, named Crittall Windows after the renowned post War company. Heated by one open coal fire, which heated a 'back boiler' for hot water into the kitchen and bathroom. No radiators, anywhere.
Winters would pose their own problems, with frost decorating the bedroom walls and casting flower patterns on the windows, it was probably inevitable that I would suffer with chest problems. As children, my two sisters and I would hide beneath our heavy wool blankets and cotton sheets with the first ten minutes forcing us into a tiny ball as the bed gradually warmed up.
