Trojan Organizational Announcement
Earlier this week, Trojan Technologies President Marv DeVries shared the news with Trojan Associates that he will be retiring from Trojan this Spring. He looks forward to spending more time with his wife Peggy, their children and grandchildren, and being engaged in a variety of non-profit activities.
Marv joined Trojan 30 years ago in 1988. He has held progressively senior leadership roles in the Company and was appointed President in 2003, a position he has held for nearly fifteen years. With a background in engineering, Marv's strategic vision, industry expertise and skilled leadership have contributed immeasurably to Trojan's growth and success.
Trojan Technologies Well Positioned to Continue Path of Growth
DeVries states:
"We live in a world of growing water stress and water scarcity, and the solutions that Trojan offers in response are sought after for their reliability, their efficiency and for the trusted support that we provide.
Collectively, the Trojan team represents one of the greatest concentrations of expertise in the global water industry. The businesses have collectively never been stronger, and are very well-positioned to continue on a path of growth. As such, I believe that this is the right time to step down as President."
When Marv joined Trojan 30 years ago, the company was comprised of one business unit, and revenues were $5 million.
The company has since grown to:
Six businesses serving different segments of the water treatment market with revenues of US $250M (CDN $300M)
750 associates, operating from 25 locations in 16 countries
Manufacturing in London & Guelph, Ontario, Valencia, California & Salsnes, Norway
> 5.0% of revenues re-invested in Innovation
More than 10,000 municipal installations on 6 continents in over 100 countries*
New Trojan Technologies President Appointed
Trojan is pleased to announce that Stephen Bell, will be appointed as the new President of Trojan Technologies. Stephen will assume this role effective March 12th, 2018.
Marv DeVries and Stephen Bell with Hank Vander Laan (Founder of Trojan Technologies)
Stephen is currently President of Aquafine (a Trojan business) and McCrometer – both part of Danaher's water quality platform.
Since 2006, Stephen has held leadership roles in product management, business development and service with Hach Ultra Analytics and Hach EU – companies that are also part of the water quality platform. Stephen earned a Masters in Engineering from the University of Durham, England and an MBA from IMD International in Lausanne. He and his family will be relocating to the London, Ontario area.
"It was my privilege to participate in the selection process for my successor in this role. I have known Steve for several years, as a colleague within Danaher.
Steve is a good listener, a creative thinker and a dedicated leader and team player, and I have no doubt that he will bring these qualities to his role as Trojan's next President. We congratulate him and welcome him as he transitions into this new role." – Marv DeVries
* To put some of the numbers into context, the number of TrojanUV installations worldwide represents:
Displacement of over 285 railroad tanker cars of liquid chlorine (a train > 5 km long), every day.
The reduction total carbon emissions by the equivalent of emissions from ~ 800,000 cars & trucks, in 2017 alone.
Trojan 'Goes Purple' to Shine the Light on Woman Abuse
Since 2007, the London Abused Women's Centre (LAWC) has been running the highly successful "Shine the Light on Woman Abuse" campaign.
During the month of November, homes, neighborhoods, businesses, cities, and counties are encouraged to 'go purple' to raise awareness of violence against women. The campaign was designed to support abused women in understanding that any shame and/or blame felt, does not belong to them but to the perpetrators of their abuse; and to raise the profile of the community agencies that can provide abused women with help as they attempt to live their lives free from violence and abuse.
Continuing to Shine the Light
2017 marks Trojan's 6th year supporting the campaign and to help raise awareness, Trojan sported purple lights in the cafeteria throughout the month. On December 15th (Wear Purple Day), many associates wore purple and beautiful merchandise was sold in the cafeteria.
Trojan raised over $700 through personal donations and the sale of scarves, socks, pins, and keychains – the proceeds of which was all donated to the London Abused Women's Centre.
Let's all continue to 'Shine the Light', and work to end abuse against women.
Hank Vander Laan at Trojan's 40th Celebration
A 40th Anniversary Celebration to mark Trojan's 40th Anniversary was held this past summer, and we were fortunate to have a number of people speak at the event including Trojan founder, Hank Vander Laan.
Hank served as Trojan's leader for almost 25 years – as Founder, as President and CEO, and as the Chairman of the Board. For those years, he was the primary driving force, the entrepreneurial spirit and Trojan's steadfast and beloved leader. For the past 15 years, he has remained an interested and engaged participant in Trojan's life, and is still a contributor to its success.
Hank had a number of great memories and stories to share about Trojan's history, as well as some words of wisdom.
Watch the Full Video of Hank Vander Laan's speech at Trojan's 40th Anniversary
Here are just a few selected highlights:
"Corporations are just not some cold neutral entity, but consist of people who have hopes, dreams, ambitions, families, sons and daughters – as do our customers and all those who ultimately participate and benefit from our combined efforts. In Trojan, we see this in spades."
"Our always growing diversity, people and experience has allowed Trojan to have a leading and meaningful presence in every corner of the globe. How rich and satisfying this diversity – where every person can thrive and make a meaningful contribution."
"The more I reflected on what really made this company what is is today – is the people. People like you and me. People with hopes and dreams for a better world we can all share in."
"People at Trojan come from every walk of life, and from every race and tribe. Together, they give it their very best by listening carefully to one another, sharing their dreams, supporting and respecting one another, innovating together and seeking the best for one another."
Trojan Supports Urban Organic Farming in the City of London
Located just off Highbury Road, north of the Thames River and south of Hamilton Road, in a vacant city space, the not-for-profit organization Urban Roots has set up a community garden dedicated to introducing urban organic farming to the City of London, working to reconnect people and food, and engage local communities.
Urban Roots directors (from left to right): Graham Bracken, Heather Bracken, Jeremy Horrell, and Richie Bloomfield
The passion project is made possible by selling some of the organically grown produce at farmers' markets, while donating the rest to various organizations in the City of London such as the Men's Mission and Youth Opportunities Unlimited (Y.O.U). In this, their pilot season, Urban Roots was able to donate almost 40% of their harvest to these organizations.
Advocating for Fresh Food on a Budget
Urban Roots holds many opportunities for students in the city by welcoming volunteers, encouraging exploration and social engagement within the city, and by advocating for the enjoyment of fresh food on a budget without being solely reliant on grocery stores.
While considered a success, the first season for Urban Roots has not been free from challenges. In addition to having difficulty securing the land to begin their project, a $300 piece of equipment, which provided power to the fence used to keep out deer and other animals, was stolen from the community garden in the summer of 2017.
Urban Roots' efforts to provide organic food to all is an inspiration, and the positive impact on the community prompted Trojan Technologies to get involved. Trojan donated a 20 ft. lockable sea container (that had formerly been used to house a treatment system) in an effort to prevent future thefts. Urban Roots makes use of this container for the storage of farm tools and supplies at their garden location.
Trojan was recognized for the generous donation at the Urban Roots 2017 Harvest Dinner, and appreciates the opportunity to be a part of such a worthy cause.

SJC Concludes that Payments Made In Lieu of Vacation Time Are Not Included in Pension Calculation
Posted: August 18, 2022 /in News /by Heather McCarthy
On August 11, 2022, the Supreme Judicial Court issued a decision in Joseph O'Leary v. Contributory Retirement Appeal Board, No. 13229 (2022), holding that payments made in lieu of unused, accrued vacation time are not "regular compensation" for the purpose of calculating a public employee's retirement allowance under the Contributory Retirement Law, G.L. chapter 32. The SJC invalidated prior guidance from the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC), which many employees had relied on to argue that payment for unused vacation time should, under certain circumstances, be considered as regular compensation.
The employee was a police officer who, pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, was eligible to convert up to ten days of vacation time every year into compensation. He made this election every December and the compensation was paid biweekly in the next fiscal year. When the retirement board rejected his argument that these payments constituted "regular compensation" for purposes of calculating his retirement allowance, he filed an administrative law appeal which eventually made its way to the SJC.
The SJC applied the definition of "regular compensation" in G.L. c. 32, §1, i.e., "compensation received exclusively as wages [i.e., the base salary or other base compensation of an employee,] by an employee for services performed in the course of employment for his employer." The court concluded that these payments are excluded from "regular compensation" because they are not "recurrent or repeated" but repeat only upon specific election by the employee during the election period, even if the employee has consistently made the election. The court also held that these payments are derived from salary enhancements or salary augmentation plans which will recur for a limited or definite term and are therefore explicitly excluded from the definition of "wages" in section 1 of the Law.
This decision effectively overrules an advisory memorandum that PERAC issued in 2012 to local retirement boards. PERAC had advised that payments for unused vacation time could be included in pension calculations if they met certain threshold requirements.
The O'Leary decision is important for employers because it defines which payments are included in calculating an employee's retirement allowance. Employers should be aware that where employees have the option to elect to receive certain payments, those payments will not be used in determining the amount of the retirement allowance if the payments are "elective rather than naturally recurring".
If you have any questions about the content of this update, please contact us. We are pleased to assist public employers who may be confronted with questions regarding the Law, including involuntary retirement applications, employers' rights in the retirement process, and collective bargaining issues that may implicate the Law.

Hamas: Most slain in Gaza were members
Human rights groups say the identity of slain protesters, including a possible affiliation to a militant group, is irrelevant if they were unarmed.
JERUSALEM — Most of the protesters killed this week by Israeli fire along the border with the Gaza Strip were members of Hamas, the militant group said Wednesday, an assertion that deepens the starkly different narratives on both sides over the deaths.
Israel, which has faced blistering international criticism over its response, is likely to latch on to the remarks to bolster its claims that Hamas has used the weekly border protests as cover to stage attacks.

But human rights groups say the identity of slain protesters, including a possible affiliation to a militant group, is irrelevant if they were unarmed and did not pose an immediate threat to the lives of soldiers when they were shot.
In an interview with Baladna TV, a private Palestinian news outlet that broadcasts via Facebook, senior Hamas official Salah Bardawil said 50 out of the nearly 60 protesters killed Monday were Hamas members, with the others being "from the people."
Bardawil did not elaborate on the nature of their membership in the group and his claim could not be independently verified. It was unclear if the protesters he was referring to were militants or civilian supporters of the Islamic group, which rules Gaza and opposes Israel's existence.
The affiliation may matter little to those who have deemed Israel's response to the protests to be heavy-handed.
For Israel, it was enough to cement its narrative.
"It was clear to Israel and now it is clear to the whole world that there was no popular protest. This was an organized mob of terrorists organized by Hamas," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had tallied similar numbers to Hamas and "won't let those who call for our destruction to breach our borders and to threaten our communities."

IMPHAL, Nov 7: Manipur People's Party (MPP) has announced that it has decided to field a candidate each in both the Inner and Outer Manipur Parliamentary Constituencies for the coming MP (Lok Sabha) election.
MPP president O Jugindro Singh made the announcement while speaking as the chief guest at a one day political convention which was organized by MPP Lilong Unit, at Lilong Turel Ahanbi, Thoubal district today.
The MPP president went on to claim that the party has reached a turning point this time as the people of the State have become fed up of the long term misdeeds and misrule of both the Congress and BJP party.
Alleging that the political mission and policy of the BJP is to saffronise or Hinduise all of India, Jugindro said that the mission has culminated with the BJP almost ruling the whole country now.
Smaller communities in the country like the ethnic communities residing in Manipur are starting to feel threatened now and some day in the future, the smaller communities might be asked to leave their own land, he alleged.
On the other hand, many unwanted incidents and high level corruption cases were witnessed in the State and the country during the lengthy Congress rule in the past, Jugindro said.
He continued that MPP decided to field its candidates in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, as the party feels it has to save the deteriorating political scenario of the State.
Jugindro then pointed out that the role of regional parties in a small State like Manipur is immense and it is these parties (regional parties) that will bring change in real terms.
He likened the regional parties with the tributaries or sub-streams of a big river and observed that the country will never get stronger until the regional parties are strengthened.
When smaller States like Manipur are ruled by their corresponding regional parties and are able to have their own self-reliant economy, it will become redundant for the Central Government to provide continuous aid to the States, he explained. Highlighting the achievements of the MPP during its tenures in 1972, 1974 and 1990, the MPP president said that the people of the State were satisfied with the performance of the party, which included initiatives for economic resource mobilization in which many dams were constructed to enhance the State's economy and make its economy self reliant.
He also sought the public support while assuring that MPP is committed to ensuring a prosperous Manipur.
Members of MPP, including Dr Dilipkumar Thokchom, Md Sirajuddin, Md Alauddin Khan, Md Islamuddin and L Tompok Meitei also attended the event.


There are rumours that STR and Nayanthara starrer Idhu Namma Aalu will get one more addition. Buzz is that Taapsee of Aadukalam fame has been approached to play the second female lead in the film that is being directed by Pandiraj.
Taapsee, who is currently shooting in Mumbai said that she was indeed approached for the role and It is yet to be confirmed. She further added that when she was cast in Aarambam, many people thought that she was doing the second lead.
Taapsee said that she had her own space in the film. 'In Idhu Namma Aalu, Nayanthara is the female lead, and I will be second lead', says Taapsee.

In Ranco, on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore, we rent a villa in an elegant, reserved and quiet environment with a superb view of the lake and the Alps.
The villa is surrounded by a huge terraced garden of 3000 square meters in which there is a large swimming pool. Furnished with care and sophistication, it is ideal for holidays and up to 10 people. Nearby you can take advantage of a golf course and a beautiful bike trails, nautical activities, hiking and trekking or historical cultural visits, the countless artistic and historical Lombardy and Piedmont close.
Ranco is located 45 km from Milan.
At the Ground floor, organized as a large loft with direct access to the garden, you will find the living room, a comfortable fireplace and TV area and a new modern kitchen. Close to it a sort of "studio" can be used as bedroom for two persons with its own bathroom. At the first floor there are three bed rooms with two wide bathrooms for 6 or 8 persons. At the lower level near to the children/play room, with ping pong and soccer table, there is another bedroom for two persons with exclusive bathroom.
Your peace and privacy will be assured. The swimming pool (10x5 mt) overlooks the lake and it's immersed in nature and flower garden.
Fantastic house with a beautiful view, garden and pool in a very good location.
The house was very well equipped and we enjoyed our stay very much. The pool and garden were very good and we could enjoy them all by ourselves. The view from the house was beautiful. House was convieniently located close to the village, the lake and for example supermarket. It was very easy to make day trips to places like Stresa, Orta Lake and even Switzerland. Sebastiano, the owner would also give us good tips for discovering the surroundings. Also the housekeeper was very helpful, if we had something to ask for. We could highly recommend this house and would also like to come there again.
I'm somewhat reluctant about telling people about this place - it will make it more difficult for us to return! Anyway, the pictures of the house and extensive gardens do not do justice to the property, view or the idyllic location. The owner, Sebastiano, could not have been more helpful and we will be returning either to this house or others that he owns. There is someone who lives onsite but I did not see or hear him - although I presume he must have mowed the lawns and tended to the garden at some point.
We visited a number of places around the Italian lakes during our stay - and if you are looking for peaceful surroundings and a relaxed time away from home then Ranco is the place to be.
Thank you James, you left one of the nicest feedback I never received. I'm happy you enjoyed your stay. You have a wonderful family and I spent a lovely evening with your sons at the San Siro Stadium. You left the house perfectly and I look forward to welcoming you again in one of my houses. We will keep in touch.
Fantastic villa, beautiful location. Loved it!
My family and I stayed in this beautiful villa for two weeks, from 8th – 22nd July 2017. The villa has everything we could have hoped for, lots of space for our four teenagers to spread out in and really lovely open plan family seating areas (for lounging and dining) for us all to be together at meal times. The gardens and pool are gorgeous and we spent most of our two weeks here with only the odd day out and about sightseeing.
We ate in for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost every day, with a family of 7 to feed this was by far the easiest and cheapest option. The BBQ was pretty much always on!
There are table tennis and table football tables down in the basement which we made good use of, with the basement also being the coolest area in the house. The facilities in this villa really are great, there is loads of space, the five bedrooms, with three en-suite bathrooms, were perfect for the size of family and meant there was no queueing for showers required.
Seb (the owner) is very friendly and gave us lots of suggestions of places to visit and to eat. Ranco itself is lovely, the small bar on the water (Bar Il Molo de Ranco) is a really nice place to visit any time of the day or night, with live music on at weekends and occasionally on week nights. The staff were very friendly and the drinks very reasonably priced. Just watch out for the mosquito's on still evenings. There is one small shop (delicatessen) a pharmacy and a couple of restaurants. These are all within walking distance of the villa. There are a few different local supermarkets – within a five minute drive of the villa.
We swam in Lake Maggiore on a few occasions, our favourite spot being a little manmade sandy beach in Ispra (five minute drive from the villa). It was a quiet little haven with a small café and the beach allowed easy access into the lake.
We spent a day in Venice (a three hour drive) and a day in Rome (an hours' drive) – both definitely worth a visit however take your walking shoes and lots of patience. They're very, very busy.
We absolutely loved Lake Maggiore and what really made our holiday was the villa – absolutely perfect for our needs with amazing views of the lake and the mountains.
The property in Ranco is a perfect place for a family holiday. The house is well equipped with a huge garden and wonderful swimming pool. My 6 year old son really got the hang of swimming during the week in it. The views over Lake Maggiore are great, and it benefits from being on the south side of the lake so the restaurants during our visit in June were not packed with tourists, just locals. Great restaurants in the area, particularly in Angera which is a 10 minute drive, though staying in with a glass of Piedmont red and some meat on the barbecue was exceptional. Sebastiano, the owner, was very helpful and a great host. One very minor request would be to have some fans/AC for the bedrooms as even in late May/June it was pretty hot/humid at night. Overall, highly recommended, particularly for families with kids as the pool is a real bonus.
The views from the villa over Lake Maggiore were wonderful. The gardens were well kept and were complemented by the garden furniture which we used for breakfast every morning, most often to the call of a cuckoo. The villa was clean, well-appointed and all the rooms were spacious, with shutters to reduce the heat during the day. It was situated well away from any noise of traffic but only a ten minute walk from Ranco and a short drive from a well-stocked supermarket. The swimming pool was secluded and free of leaves or other garden debris. It was furnished with a parasol and sun loungers on a clean tiled surround. All in all, the villa was ideal for a relaxing family holiday and proved to be a good base from which to visit places of interest on and around the lake.
Thank you Vincent P. It has been a pleasure to host your family in my Ranco house. I look forward to meeting you again.
Our host, Sebastiano, was warm and gracious, and could not have been more accommodating. He helped us out with some personal issues before we even arrived, and was there to greet us with additional helpful tips in planning our stay in Italy. The villa was even better than advertised! It was clean, comfortable, stylish, and fully equipped. The view looking out over Lake Maggiore was tranquil and beautiful. It was incredibly quiet and relaxing - just the retreat we were hoping to find.The location is great for touring around the Lake region. We hated to leave when the week was up and we have already recommended the house to all of our friends! We hope to stay in touch with Sebastiano - he was simply amazing.
(Text automatically translated) Good and reputed restaurants nearby. Lake Maggiore at hand (Stresa, Arona, Angera, Laveno). Hermitage of Santa Caterina. Bike tours and walking recommended. Beaches on the lake and ferry trips. Museum of Transport in Ranco. Mountain nearby. Golf Monate, tennis courts and swimming pool are all within 10/15 minutes by car.

Policy input to stakeholders to increase the understanding of asthma and allergy causality.
Use results to feed into research on novel treatments for allergy.
There has been a significant increase in asthma and allergies over the last couple of decades in high-income countries (with prevalence over 20% in many societies). These diseases are also increasingly prevalent in developing countries, which can cause a substantial increase in mortality rates since proper medication is often expensive. The causes of these diseases are not well understood and there is neither a cure nor efficient prevention. At the same time, helminth infections have decreased and have known immunological effects.
We want to assess the role of helminth infections in allergic diseases by analysing helminth antibodies in relation to allergy markers (clinical disease and IgEs) in cohorts from Norway, Estonia and South Africa, as well as by analysing related epigenetic characteristics.
The program is novel and innovative as there are no previous human studies relating helminth infections to allergy in large multigenerational population-based cohorts, or comparing the helminth/allergy relationship in well-characterised cohorts from countries with such a wide range in prevalence of both helminth infections and allergy.
The program is important scientifically since large research initiatives over the last decades have worked intensively on assessing asthma and allergy causality without being able to discover efficient preventive or curative measures.
The program is important to society in general since asthma and allergy often start early in childhood (as opposed to most other non-communicable diseases) and places a large burden on both individuals and their families. Further, asthma constitutes a potentially mortal disease if efficient treatment is not generally available.

Use a hash ground plane to reduce ground plane area, increasing thermal resistance.
Keep the temperature sensor as far from heat sources as possible.
Use a separate ground plane for the temperature sensor, and minimize connections to the main ground plane.
Use narrow ground connections, as this will increase thermal resistance.
Use solid ground plane under the main heat source and open the solder mask, minimizing the thermal resistance and maximizing the heat dissipation.
By following these tips, the temperature sensor will not be affected by the heat dissipated by the main heat source, and will accurately monitor ambient temperature.


It is an important activity in early childhood. In addition to sleep outside to eat, most of the time is spent in play, so to select the right toys, this to the child's physical, psychological and mental development has a very close relationship. In this period of time, should give children some help move the brain, to think of a way to toys.
Give children buy a small bell, he would to the colour of bells, shake and hear the sound of sweet, give him a little play ball, the child can imagine a lot of things have to be round.

Scent mixing. Perfume layering. Fragrance cocktailing. Whatever you call it, the art of combining two or more scents together is an under-the-radar technique that women have been using for ages. The good news is, guys can do it, too: to make perfume work better, last longer, or to change the scent and make it more dynamic.
To take the guesswork out of custom-blending a desirable mix, we've talked to Jo Malone's lifestyle director Debbie Wild. "The brand's Fragrance Combining technique was originally born from the idea that fragrance can be tailored to embrace a mood or occasion, or simply to express your individuality. Each fragrance has been designed to be worn alone or combined with other Jo Malone London fragrances, layering scents and textures to create a fragrance that is bespoke and personal to you," she says.
1| You want to start by layering scents that are in or close to the same scent family, noting that scents typically fall into categories like woody, floral, oriental, fresh, citrus. However, vanilla, musk, and most citrus scents are all "safe" notes that work well in most layering situations.
2| Keep in mind that any scented product is fair game in layering: scented body washes, lotions, and creams can all provide an extra dimension to your overall scent. Layering scents don't only mean spraying two perfumes – it can start as soon as when you're in the shower. "You might shower using a hand & body wash and then massage a different body crème onto your skin," says Debbie.
4| Every scent and blend thereof will smell different from person to person, thanks to our unique body chemistry, so when experimenting, it's also best to let your scent combo sit on your skin for an hour or more to see how it blends with your own pheromones.
For Manila's tropical climate, try the English Oak & Redcurrant Body Crème with English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne which has the perfect combination of juicy redcurrant, spicy roasted oak, and the fresh green hazelnut notes.
5| A good way to make the fragrance last is to moisturize your skin first with a good lotion, keeping your skin primed for perfume. Layering is very helpful in order to make a fragrance last, apart from spraying points of your body that are warmer like your wrists or neck. You can also spray scent onto your hair and clothes.

Minimate Mini-Review #265 - Ant-Man
Posted on November 15, 2015 by yo go re
#265 - Ant-Man
Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Henry Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats, including the villain Yellowjacket. With the help of Hank's daughter Hope Van Dyne, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.
As far as Minimates go, Ant-Man hits the sweet spot: the helmet and belt are sculpted elements (new ones, because nobody else has ones that match the movie designs), but all the rest of the details are simply painted on. Complicated, complicated paint apps. It would have been easy to create a chest cap with sculpted tubes, big clunky wristbands, and complex boots, but that would have made the figure really busy. This way, he looks great. And unlike the Marvel Legend, his helmet is right! It covers his mouth, and it has tubes on the back of the neck. No kidding, I am seriously digging this little guy.
Since the helmet is a fully sculpted piece, you can probably guess that it's removable. And since the helmet is removable, you might also guess that there's a painted face beneath. You'd be right! The face doesn't look too strongly like Paul Rudd; his head-shape doesn't meld well with the Minimate cylinder. Even adding the included hair only helps a little.
Hey, speaking of hair, here's Hope Van Dyne! Okay, that sounds like a weird transition, but bear with me here. You watch Agents of SHIELD, right? Of course you do, it's great. This season introduced Rosalind Price, head of the Advanced Threat Containment Unit, and for some reason, they decided to style her hair exactly like Hope Van Dyne's. Exactly like it. So the point is, this figure could either be Evangeline Lilly attending a meeting at Pym Technologies, or it could be Constance Zimmer on her way to capture some Inhumans. Variety! Clearly in the context of this set she's Hope, but the stylization of Minimates provide more options than expected.
One of the coolest things about Ant-Man was that it gave us a glimpse of the interim of the Marvel Universe. We've seen the far past (in Captain America and Agent Carter) and the present (Iron Man and everything after), but Ant-Man showed us a little bit of what happened in between. That's why it's cool that Hank Pym belongs to a different generation of heroes, rather than being a contemporary of the Avengers. Between the glasses and the goatee, this has a decent Michael Douglas likeness. He's very squinty. He's also wearing a brown three-piece suit that makes him look more stately than adventurous.
The set includes two extra arms that, at a glance, appear to be bare skin. But nobody in this set would have bare arms, and the color doesn't match any of the skin we can already see, so what's up? Well, taking a cue from what DST's Zach Oat said when we questioned Darcy's arms, we looked at the collars. Hank Pym is wearing a pink shirt - those are his sleeves! And sure enough, during the movie, he takes off his jacket and we see the sleeves of his pink shirt peeking out from around his vest. There was no reason these needed to be included, but the fact that they are is pretty cool.
As cool as the movie's Yellowjacket looked, it's surprising that the only toy he's gotten is this. While "Ant-Man" gets his name from his size (and from the insects he talks to), Yellowjacket actually looks insectoid. There are hints of the traditional YJ costume here, such as the wings sticking up off his shoulders, but it's mostly a new creation. The gunmetal grey of the suit is broken up by yellow honeycomb sections, and like Ant-Man, most of the details are created by paint, rather than plastic - only his wings and plasma cannons are 3D. Well, them and the removable helmet - take that off, and you'll see a stubble-y Ephraim Goodweather from The Strain. The set includes a flight stand, and since Yellowjacket is the only person in this box who can fly, it's probably for him.
I somehow missed this set when it was solicited - I didn't know it was coming until it showed up on the NCRL. But that's the advantage of these four-packs: you can go into your local comicshop and order one even after it's come out, and they'll have it for you in just a week or so (by comparison, stores have to order three sets of the standard series - there are four two-packs in each series, but 12 packs in a case). The only thing we'd change about this one would be to include the penny and bottlecap bases from the SDCC set, or maybe the "Micro-Mates." But then I guess the SDCC set wouldn't feel as special, would it?
And now, some more OAFEry:

Cool set. Movie was a lot of fun, so it's good to see some merch show up.
Yellowjacket got a Funko POP too though. His design was quite cool but I didn't much enjoy the character, so I skipped it.

Despite the fact we've reviewed a couple of them here, Pops aren't toys. They're like bobbleheads. In fact, the Marvel ones actually ARE bobbleheads, because of licensing restrictions...
Soundwinder says:
That's... really "no true Scotsman"-y. "Toy" is a hilariously broad term, after all. I wouldn't call them action figures, but I'd definitely consider them toys.

Elania Marie Montelongo, 24, has been arrested on felony hit-and-run charges in the death of 17-year-old Christopher Babilona in Peachtree City.
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. – A woman has been arrested in connection with a deadly hit-and-run involving a 17-year-old boy in Peachtree City, police said.
Elaina Marie Montelongo, 24, of Newnan, is facing a felony charge of hit-and-run in the death of 17-year-old Christopher Babilona, who was found on Highway 74 with significant injuries last Thursday. He later died at the hospital.
A memorial dedicated to Babilona is growing outside his home, about a mile away from where he was found dead.
A memorial is growing outside the home of Christopher Babilona, 17, who was left for dead in a suspected hit and run on Highway 74. A woman has been arrested and faces charges of hit-and-run in connection with his death.
Montelongo has been denied bail because she is considered homeless and a flight risk, according to the arrest warrant obtained by 11Alive. Police said she was driving a blue 2002 Ford Focus station wagon when she allegedly hit Babilona, who was in the roadway. According to police documents, she didn't stop the car, call police or attempt to help the teen.
After the accident on Sept. 13, a golf cart was discovered by Babilonia's family in a grassy area nearby. Peachtree City police said Babilonia may have been driving the cart before the accident, but it had no significant damage. The cart was found in a wooded area just off the path of a golf cart tunnel that runs under Highway 74 – about a mile from his home.
Christopher Jordan Babilonia, 17, was found dead on Highway 74 in Peachtree City after an accident apparently involving a golf cart.
"The young man was involved in a golf cart accident in the area. He sustained severe injuries from the accident, but we don't know how he ended up in the road," said Odelia Berg of the Peachtree City Police Department.
Berg told 11Alive that Peachtree City has over 100 miles of golf cart paths. Police said Babilonia's family did not know why he may have been driving the golf cart.
There are no traffic cameras in the area.
In a Facebook post, Peachtree City police said the investigation into Babilonia's death remains open and additional charges might be pending.

Q: Two-Body Problem on a Frictionless Table with a Hanging Mass
Here's the situation. There are two boxes connected by a string. Box A is on a frictionless table. A string attached to Box A runs over a frictionless pulley and is attached to the hanging Box B. Calculate the acceleration from the POV of both Box A and Box B.

When I attempt this problem the accelerations don't agree and I can't figure out why.
$\\$
BOX A
The forces acting on Box A are the force of gravity $F_{gA}$, the normal force $F_{NA}$, and the tension in the string $F_T$. Clearly, $F_{gA}$ and $F_{NA}$ cancel each other out. Therefore, the net force on Box A is $F_T$. Then,
$F_{netA}=F_T \ $ but $F_{netA}= m_A a\ $ and $F_T=m_Bg \ $ so
$m_A a=m_Bg$
$a=\frac{m_B}{m_A}g\ \ $ which is the acceleration of the entire system from the POV of Box A.
$\\$
BOX B
The forces acting on Box B are the force of gravity $F_{gB}$ and the tension in the string $F_T$ in the opposite direction. Therefore, the net force on Box B is
$F_{netB}=F_{gB} - F_T \ $ but $F_{netB}=m_B a $, $F_{gB}=m_Bg $, and $F_T=m_Aa\ $ so
$m_B a=m_Bg - m_Aa$
$a=\frac{m_B}{m_A+m_B}g\ \ $ which is the acceleration of the entire system from the POV of Box B.
$\\$
The Problem
Clearly, the acceleration from Box A and the acceleration from Box B don't agree. My only assumption that the tension in the string is the same in both directions $F_T=m_Aa=m_Bg $. Where is my mistake? Why doesn't this work?

A: If $F_T=m_Bg$ as you claim, then box B would never accelerate.

Twenty-six chess players competed October 26th in the 17th annual Trick or Treat Mini-Swiss chess tournament. The three-round chess tournament was held in the Benes Room of Ohio Wesleyan's Hamilton-Williams Campus Center. This U.S. Chess Federation rated event was divided into three sections based upon each player's chess rating. The eight highest rated players formed Section A. Tom Britt, a chess master from Hilliard, won $50 for winning two of his games and drawing one. Carl R. Boor, Mansfield, Phillip Seitzer, a senior at Case Western Reserve, and Dave Rutherford, Millfield, split the $25 second place prize money for their records amassing two points. Interestingly, in the first round, when most of the games are usually decisive, three of the four games ended in draws.
Keith Motschman, Columbus, received $50 for winning two games and drawing one in Section B. Greg Clemens, Roseville, and Will Kirby, Columbus, split the $25 second place prize money for their records of two wins and one loss.
Christian Smith, Columbus, was the clear winner in Section C. He received $60 for winning all three of his games in this ten-player section. Garrett Bell, an eighth grader at LibertyMiddle School, Daniel Moyer, Dublin, Andrew Zhang, an eight year old at Glacier Ridge Elementary, and Peyman Majidi, a sophomore at Ohio Northern, split the $40 second place money for their records of two wins and one loss. A beautiful fall day and hard fought games made this a memorable tournament.
This past Wednesday evening was an energizing "suite for change." A dozen folksingers performed at the First Unitarian Church of Columbus encouraging participation in the upcoming election. Holly Near was the key artist who brought together Laura Love, emma's revolution, John McCutcheon, the Prince Myshkins, Roy Zimmerman, Andre dos Santos Morgan, Vanessa and Tamara Torres, Tory Trujillo, and Poet On Watch. I especially liked two pieces done by Roy Zimmerman. In one he used an innocuous metaphor to represent the Presidency. In the other, he quoted George W. Bush directly to create a humorous but sadly accurate representation of what we have had to live through these past eight years. The full house appreciated the uplifting music. Let's hope we soon can celebrate a change in direction.
The thirtieth season debut for the Central Ohio Symphony was this past Saturday. Gray Chapel is an excellent venue for music where the Klais Organ dominates the stage. It was appropriate that Robert Griffith, an Ohio Wesleyan University emeritus faculty member, was the guest artist for Josef Rheingberger's Organ Concerto in G Minor. Brahms' Academic Festival Overture and Symphony No. 1 were also played by a full, competent orchestra. Near the end of the concert an individual had some type of medical issue that created a minor stir in the audience but didn't affect the final movement on the stage. This concert warmed our hearts before we exited to the coldest temperatures of the season.
Hocking Hills has several wonderful hikes that are especially memorable on a crisp autumn day. This past Friday was such a day. At Cantwell Cliffs we slipped through Fat Woman's Squeeze to wonder at the sheer cliffs. Next we toured the Rock House with its seven windows carved out of a Black Hand sandstone cliff. The Conkles Hollow Rim Trail, a two and a half mile hike through hemlocks in this 87 acre nature preserve, offered views dominated by the yellow and gold leaves of the hardwoods. Our final stop was a walk down to see Cedar Falls. Unfortunately, only a few drops made their way down the sandstone cliffside. The drought of the past few months has taken its toll throughout the region. Some have said that there are fewer red leaves as a result of this lack of water. One surprise was how many people, especially students, were on the trails on a Friday.

const a = new A(ctx, opts);
someFn("something", (b) => a.someMethod.bind(a, b));

I was wondering how I can write this and get the exact same behaviour with using functions only, no class, and have a call style like
someFn("something", withProxy(doThis))

A: The higher-order function you seem to be looking for might be
const fn = (ctx, a, ...rest) => {};
const fnCurried = (ctx) => (b) => (...rest) => fn(ctx, b, ...rest);

to be used as
someFn("something", fnCurried(ctx));

Can Urine-Based Deer Attractants Really Spread Chronic Wasting Disease?

By Craig Dougherty | Published Jul 29, 2015 1:42 AM
Virginia's recent decision to ban the use of natural deer urine when hunting or scouting has hunters asking: "What's going on? I've been using deer urine since I was a kid."
What's going on is Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), the killer deer disease that has worked its way through North America's deer and elk herds. Wildlife agencies are taking steps to control the spread of CWD and outlawing deer urine attractants is one of those steps (Vermont has also banned it).
Tracing the Spread
CWD was originally discovered in captured deer in Colorado in the 1960s. It was fist discovered in wild deer in 1981. It's been with us ever since. The disease has now been found in 20 states (including Virginia) and two provinces and is commonly perceived to be the number one threat to deer herds today. Symptoms include: erratic behavior, a weakened condition, excessive saliva, dramatic weight loss, and extreme thirst. Stopping a CWD outbreak from spreading has proven next to impossible even though millions are spent on CWD containment.
CWD is believed to be caused by defective or rouge proteins called prions, which are thought to be passed from animal to animal. Prions attack the brain; it is always fatal. Infectious prions have been detected in the saliva, urine, and feces of diseased deer and some scientists believe CWD may be spread through contact with these liquids. That's where the urine-based attractants come in.
The Urine Connection
Much of the deer urine used in attractants comes from commercial deer farms. The farms collect urine in catch pens with a grated floor that funnels deer waste into a receptacle. Multiple deer use these pens at the same time, comingling urine, feces, and even saliva. CWD is often associated with captive deer herds, which could be infected with CWD.
Captive deer herds are generally monitored for CWD by either state or federal agencies. Conscientious urine suppliers take numerous precautions to ensure their herds are CWD free, but there are no absolute guarantees that any given captive herd (or for that matter wild herd) will remain CWD free. Unfortunately, there is no real way of determining if the deer contributing the waste liquids are carriers of the disease until it is too late.
"Prions are shed in the saliva, urine, and feces just months after a deer becomes infected," says Dr. Krysten L. Schuler, a wildlife disease ecologist at Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine. "That deer will still look perfectly healthy and it can live for more than a year after it's infected. That deer's infected urine may be gathered at any time. The trouble with these prions is they bind to soil particles and can be taken up into plants. This allows prions to contaminate the environment for years after they are poured out of a bottle. There is no safe dose of prions."
She urges hunters, "not to risk contaminating your favorite hunting spot with a product that has the potential to introduce a disease into your deer herd. When it comes to CWD, prevention is the only proven strategy."
Unfortunately there is no viable way to test for prions in deer urine attractants, and we don't know how long they can live in a bottle—or even if they can live in a bottle at all. I could find no documentation or research proving or disproving this.
Wait, Not So Fast
Dr. Nicholas J. Haley (DVN, PhD) at the Department of Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology at Kansas State University, is not quite convinced that deer urine attractants are a serious CWD threat. He points out that infected urine is significantly less likely to transmit CWD than saliva and points to published and unpublished research that identifies a low level of infectivity in deer urine. He also points to mitigation efforts by deer farmers to ensure captive herds are CWD free.
"That will go a long way toward reducing the risk to near zero," Haley says. "Farms providing urine to the scent companies have very strict standards of health to uphold." That said, he states: "There is obviously some concern for the potential that scent urine may have some role, however small, in the introduction of CWD to new areas."
The scent industry is concerned, that much is certain. Phil Robinson, president of Tink's Hunting Products states: "In all of our searching and communicating with experts, we are aware of only two published studies suggesting any possibility of a link between CWD and urine and CWD transmission. Both studies involved experimental and artificial/extreme protocols (injecting brains of mice with infected urine) that are clearly not present during normal use of a hunting scent".
Sam Bergeson, Vice President of the Wildlife Research Center, points to the extreme protocols of the studies even though they identified a weak connection between CWD-infected urine and mice getting the disease when injected with it.
"Obviously deer hunters are not going around injecting urine into deer brains with a hypodermic needle," Bergeson says.
Industry leaders are quick to note that there are dollars and jobs at stake, and that hunters are being denied products they have been using for decades. The deer urine industry is asking: "Is there really sufficient data available to shut a whole industry down?"
Terry Rohm of Tink's put it this way: "If we had some real solid evidence, that would be another matter. No one wants to see CDW spreading all over the landscape. The whole hunting industry is deer driven. We need deer. But there is just nothing out there to justify taking deer urine attractants off the market."
Hunters seem to be unsure of where they stand on the urine-elimination issue. A recent poll of members of the newly formed National Deer Alliance (a national deer hunters group) indicated that a full 83 percent of respondents either did not know or did not believe urine based attractants are a real threat to wild deer. The same poll found that 42 percent of the respondents were against making them illegal.
Better Safe Than Sorry?
At this point, it may be safe to say what we don't know about prions, deer urine, and the spread of CWD outweighs what we do know.
However, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' position is printed in black and white on its website: "The VDGIF is taking a pro-active approach on this issue and has banned possession and use until it is proven that prions are not spread in commercial deer urine products, rather than continue to risk introducing CWD to new areas until it is confirmed that urine attractants do spread prions."
A cautionary position to be sure, but wildlife agencies are the keepers of the public trust when it comes to wild places and wild things. Is it really surprising where Virginia officials (and before them Vermont officials) landed on this issue?
So where do you stand? Your state may very well be discussing a urine ban as you read this. Are you in the "pro-active, safe not sorry camp" or the "wait, not so fast" camp?
Editor's note: Craig Dougherty is the Executive Director of the National Deer Alliance.
What's your take on urine-based deer attractants?
They should be banned.
They should NOT be banned.

FOOTBALL: TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC quarter-final team news & previews
THE race for 2021 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship glory will be whittled down to four teams over the Bank Holiday weekend.
There are two quarter-finals down for decision on Sunday – with two more on the agenda on the following day.
Armagh and Meath get proceedings underway at St Tiernach's Park in Clones on Sunday, in a live TG4 game that will have a 2pm start.
The victors here will take on the winners of the 3.30pm clash between Munster rivals Cork and Waterford in the semi-finals.
After a toss for home advantage, this tie, which will be streamed live at https://bit.ly/3yFslAy, will be played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
On Monday, five-in-a-row chasing Dublin put their title on the line against Donegal at Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada in Carrick-on-Shannon (4pm).
The Sky Blues or their Ulster opponents will then face the winners of the Galway-Mayo quarter-final in the last four.
Mayo have home advantage at Hastings Insurance Brokers MacHale Park in Castlebar (1.45pm) for the latest instalment in a long-running rivalry with Galway.
Both of Monday's games will be broadcast live on TG4.
TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC quarter-finals:
Sunday August 1:
Armagh v Meath, St. Tiernach's Park, Clones, 2pm – Live on TG4
THIS could be one of the games of the championship between two sides who have been flying of late.
Aimee Mackin is in sensational form for Armagh – and the 2020 TG4 Senior Players' Player of the Year has bagged 3-22 already en route to the knockout stages.
Armagh look an even better side than the one that reached the semi-finals last year – but Meath will provide a stern test.
The Royals, who won the Lidl NFL Division 2 title last month, ran Cork to a couple of points in their championship opener, before putting Tipperary to the sword to reach the last eight.
The 2020 Intermediate champions are a very capable outfit who have adapted well to life back in the Senior ranks.
Both sides are unchanged as they aim for a place in the last four of the All-Ireland series, with Armagh opting for the same starting 15 that ousted Mayo in the last round, while Meath plump for the 15 that lined out from the start against Tipperary.
Armagh (v Meath): A Carr; S Marley, C McCambridge, G Ferguson; E Lavery, L McConville, T Grimes; K Mallon (capt.), N Coleman; B Mackin, C O'Hanlon, F McKenna; A Mackin, A McCoy, A Clarke.
Meath (v Armagh): M McGuirk; E Troy, M.K. Lynch, K Newe; A Leahy, A Cleary, S Ennis (capt.); O Lally, M O'Shaughnessy; O Byrne, S Grimes, N O'Sullivan; V Wall, E Duggan, B Lynch.
Cork v Waterford, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, 3.30pm – Live Streaming
JUST three points separated the sides when they met in Division 1 of the Lidl NFL in June – and now Cork and Waterford prepare for knockout championship fare.
Cork beat Meath and Tipperary to advance to the last eight and the Leesiders are unchanged from the side that lined out against Tipp as they aim for another semi-final slot.
Waterford make just the one change in personnel from the side that accounted for Tyrone to reach the quarter-finals, with Shauna Dunphy coming in for a starting place of Aoife Murray.
Reaching the quarter-finals is good progress for Waterford and they won't fear Cork, having clashed with their Munster rivals in provincial fare in recent years.
Cork scored 6-14 last time out against Tipperary but they're unlikely to find Waterford in such generous mood at the back.
The Déise did leak 6-12 against Dublin in the group stages, however, but bounced back to rack up 3-17 themselves in the Tyrone win.
Eimear Scally's return to the Cork set-up – and form – is a major boost and the 2020 runners-up remain formidable opponents.
Cork (v Waterford): M O'Brien (capt.); M Ambrose, R Phelan, E Meaney; E O'Shea, S Kelly, M Duggan; A Hutchings, H Looney; O Farmer, C O'Sullivan, Á O'Sullivan; S O'Leary, K Quirke, E Scally.
Waterford (v Cork): R Landers; M Dunford, L Mulcahy, R Casey; R Tobin, Karen McGrath, A Mullaney; C Fennell, M Wall (capt.); S Dunphy, E Murray, Kate McGrath; E Fennell, K Murray, A Wall.
Monday August 2:
Mayo v Galway, Hastings Insurance Brokers MacHale Park, Castlebar, 1.45pm – Live on TG4
It's been a while since Mayo and Galway met in a Championship fixture at Senior level.
You have to go back to 2019 for their last meeting – and that was a gripping All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park.
Róisín Leonard kicked a stunning free from the ground to win it for Galway, before the Tribeswomen lost out to Dublin in the Final.
They have previous from 2021, however, and it was Mayo who came with a late surge when the sides met in the League.
The green and red pulled it out of the fire with an unanswered 1-4 burst down the home straight.
That fixture was played at Hastings Insurance Brokers MacHale Park and they'll meet again at the Castlebar venue, with a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals against Donegal or Dublin on offer for the winners.
Having lost out to Armagh in the final round of group fixtures, Mayo boss Michael Moyles has made two changes in personnel for this one – as Marie Corbett and Niamh Kelly come in for starts in place of captain Clodagh McManamon and Fiona Doherty.
Galway, who scored three goals in two minutes against Donegal last time out, have made just one change – with Laura Ahearne coming in for Sophie Healy, who's ruled out through injury.
Mayo (v Galway): A Tarpey; S Lally, O Conlon, M Corbett; T O'Connor, C Whyte, K Sullivan (capt.); N Kelly, S Cafferky; F McHale, R Kearns, S Rowe; G Kelly, S Howley, T Needham.
Galway (v Mayo): D Gower; L Ahearne, S Lynch, S Molloy; C Cooney, K Geraghty, H Noone; S Divilly, A Davoren; O Divilly, M Glynn, L Coen; N Ward, L Ward (capt.), K Slevin.
Dublin v Donegal, Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, Carrick-On-Shannon, 4pm – Live on TG4
DONEGAL gave Dublin plenty to think about when the sides met on Halloween night in the 2020 Championship.
Ultimately, a freak goal from Dublin skipper Sinead Ahearne turned the course of the game, as her attempted point bounced down off an upright and into the net.
Donegal will feel they can compete with Dublin once again but they'll need to tighten up considerably at the back after leaking three goals in two minutes against Galway recently.
Donegal finished in second place behind the Tribeswomen in their pool – and that means they'll have to face up to champions Dublin, who sailed through their group with wins over Tyrone and Waterford.
Dublin boss Mick Bohan has opted for the same starting 15 that lined out against Waterford last time out for this one, while Donegal manager Maxi Curran has replaced Amy Boyle Carr with Roisin Rodgers from the start.
Dublin's team looks exceptional on paper, with genuine goal threat and firepower in attack, but Donegal have potential aces up their own sleeves, in the form of Geraldine McLaughlin and skipper Niamh McLaughlin, who's been excellent this year.
Dublin will start as favourites but Donegal have the players to ask serious questions of them.
The winners here will play Galway or Mayo in the semi-finals.
Donegal (v Dublin): A McColgan; N Carr, E McGinley, E Gallagher; T Jenkins, Nicole McLaughlin, R Rodgers; K Herron, S Twohig; B McLaughlin, Niamh McLaughlin (capt.), N Boyle; N Hegarty, K Guthrie, G McLaughlin.
Dublin (v Donegal): C Trant; M Byrne, N Collins, O Carey; O Nolan, S McGrath, L Caffrey; J Dunne, L Magee; L Davey, N McEvoy, C Rowe; S Aherne (capt.), H Tyrrell, C O'Connor.
CAMOGIE: All-Ireland Senior Championship round-up


Happy Hamby Campers: Evening Star cheffing!
We arrived at Charleville in the late afternoon. Our first stop was the tourist information centre as one of the local caravan parks offered camp oven dinners and yabby races on Wednesday nights (one yabby for every two dinners purchased).
In truth, we were keener for yabby racing than the dinner but in any case we were a couple of weeks too early for the season, so saved our money!
(Of course, the alternate plan is a DIY substitute - catch some Yowah yabbies and hold our own races)!
Given we would be dining in, we stopped to pick up a few ingredients then headed a little way out of town to the Evening Star Tourist Park. We were warmly welcomed and chose a campsite an easy walk from both the amenities block and camp kitchen. The camp kitchen housed two modern gas BBQs but Nick opted to use the more rustic 44-gallon drum, wood-fired alternative!

This week's book talks 5/30-6/2
Woo hoo! We've made it to June.
For someone who is not officially counting down yet, I have checked off a number of items on my "last one of the year" list this week: SBAC testing, annual evaluation meeting, staff meeting….
But the book talk party keeps happening in my room. In spite of a short week and two days of SBAC testing, I managed to talk about 5 books.
Wednesday, I made up for lost time and talked about Maile Meloy's Apothecary series.
The series opens in 1952 with our heroine, Janie moving to London because her parents are under investigation by the House Un-American Activities Committee. There, she meets Benjamin, whose father appears to be an ordinary apothecary. In fact, he possesses a book, The Pharmacopeia, that both sides of the Cold war would like to have. The final book is set in 1955, in the United States, where they continue to keep the world safe from nuclear disaster.
Thursday was the first normal day since SBAC testing began.
Knowing kids might be as fatigued as I was, I book talked a classic, Cynthia Rylant's Every Living Thing, a slim volume of short stories.
Publisher's Summary: Here are twelve deeply moving short stories from the perceptive pen of Cynthia Rylant. Each captures the moment when someone's life changes — when an animal causes a human being to see things in a different way, and, perhaps, changes his life.
And that bring us to today's book, Brave by Svetlana Chmakova.
Her previous graphic novel, Awkward, is always checked out, rarely making it back onto my shelf.
Author's Summary: On her first day at her new school, Penelope–Peppi–Torres reminds herself of these basics. But when she trips into a quiet boy in the hall, Jaime Thompson, she's already broken the first rule, and the mean kids start calling her the "nerder girlfriend." How does she handle this crisis? By shoving poor Jaime and running away!
Surrounding herself with new friends in the art club, Peppi still can't help feeling ashamed about the way she treated Jaime. Things are already awkward enough between the two, but to make matters worse, he's a member of her own club's archrivals–the science club! And when the two clubs go to war, Peppi realizes that sometimes you have to break the rules to survive middle school!
The kids will be thrilled to discover that Chamkova has a new graphic novel, Brave, also set in Berrybrook Middle School.
Author's Summary: In his daydreams, Jensen is the biggest hero that ever was, saving the world and his friends on a daily basis. But his middle school reality is VERY different–math is hard, getting along with friends is hard…Even finding a partner for the class project is a huge problem when you always get picked last. And the pressure's on even more once the school newspaper's dynamic duo, Jenny and Akilah, draw Jensen into the whirlwind of school news, social-experiment projects, and behind-the-scenes club drama. Jensen has always played the middle school game one level at a time, but suddenly, someone's cranked up the difficulty setting. Will those daring daydreams of his finally work in his favor, or will he have to find real solutions to his real-life problems?
We have only three weeks of school left and I keep encouraging my students (and myself) to finish strong.
