Here we go - a nice fat n' juicy topic: the Mosque at Ground Zero. Please add the cheese, pickles, and mayo.
This is in really bad taste, how dare you, the 9/11 terrorists were Muslim.
This is America - all religions are free to do as they please.
The Mosque will be a friendship outreach center, an antidote to terrorism.
Now what does this mean? I do not think it means that they were against religion, or that they were all atheists. I really think it means that they wanted a country relatively free from religion in the public and political sphere. It was the noxious mix of oppressive religion and intolerance in Europe that drove many to cross the Atlantic Ocean in crappy little wooden sailboats(!) Imagine how bad it must have been to risk everything just for a little breath of freedom from the oppression of crazed religious folks in power.
In my own life I have friends from every spectrum of faith (and lack of faith) and religion: Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Atheists, Wiccans, Agnostics, Spaghetti Monsters Folks - everything and everyone. What has really helped all of these friendships is that our discussions are mostly free from discussing religion - and if and when we infrequently do, it is not a battle of right vs. wrong but one of trying to learn about some cultural tradition and then quickly back to a topic which does not involve religion.
It is one of the things I love the most about the idea of America - religion as a non-issue: do your thing, but let me do my own thing, and let's be tolerant and not in each other's face about it. Keep religion as a somewhat private, personal, family thing - you do not have to hide it, but let's not make a big deal about it. Nothing is more personal - when we die, each of us will face whatever we believe (or do not believe) in. Religion needs to become largely a non-issue.
So what about the Mosque at Ground Zero? The organizers (because this is America) are surely free to build the Mosque. Should they keep in mind that it is probably in bad taste? Yes. I would recommend that they sit down with the families of those who died in 9/11 and really find out if this is helping to build bridges of friendship and peace. How about taking the same money and donating it to the kids of the victims and helping them all through college? How about taking taking that same money and building schools of tolerance and liberal thought in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where it is sorely needed. Are you really trying to extend a hand of friendship? If so, this symbolic act may be not the right move - and there are always ways to adapt - it is not too late.
But most importantly - this is America. It is our distinct freedom of, and from, religion, that allows to have this discussion at all. Maybe all religions need to take a small step back, and just let people come forward, and we'll all realize what has been in our way, and that we do have many things in common, once we let the walls of politics and religion take a backseat.
Maybe we all believe in G-d, or something, or not - but how and why we do should not be dividing us anymore. I have my own beliefs in G-d, my own sense of religion - but I also have to leave open a window of uncertainty. Uncertainty that as I grow I will learn more and my understanding will surely continue to change and evolve (as it has), and that none of us can really know what is by definition beyond our capability to know - so we need to be highly tolerant of everyone and their own beliefs, as our own is surely flawed. We are human, as humans we are limited - the arrogance of those who claim to know everything is in my view the highest form of idolatry - because if they do believe in G-d, only G-d knows what they think they claim to know. If we were all much, much, more humble in our beliefs (believers, atheists, and everything in-between) the world would be a much better place.
So what would good old George Washington tell the builders of Mosque? I think he would sit down with them and have a long chat. This is America, my friends - you are welcome here, and you are also welcome to build here - in the spirit of freedom and friendship. But let's perhaps discuss a better place for your dollars. You don't have to agree with me, but at least let us sit down and talk. After all - this is why we fought and defeated the British King - it wasn't all about tea (at least not all of it!).
It could be accept by men and women so quickly. I feel many individuals will agree with you. You might be ideal that we could to not rely on other people. Who we could to rely on is ourself.

SEGA is Hosting Tons of Panels at GDC, SXSW, and San Diego Comic Con for Sonic's 25th Anniversary
by Jeffrey McDonell
With a slew of dedicated new merchandise, special events, and new games on the horizon, it cannot be denied that SEGA aims to pull out all the stops to celebrate the silver anniversary of their mascot and legendary gaming icon Sonic the Hedgehog. The Blue Blur sped onto the gaming scene with his titular debut on the SEGA Genesis back in 1991, collecting rings, running through loops, smashing Badniks, and stopping Doctor Eggman's many evil plots ever since.
Information regarding some of the special events honoring Sonic's 25 year milestone is finally coming forward, as SEGA and some of its key figures will be present at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, and at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
At GDC 2016, taking place from March 14th to the 18th, the gaming company will be hosting a party to celebrate the success of mobile endless runner
Sonic Dash 2: Sonic Boom. There will also be a presentation covering the "25 years of Sonic," as well as series art and music.
Meanwhile, for SXSW, a "History of Sonic" panel will bring together an impressive lineup of Sonic celebrities on Saturday, March 19th from 3:30 PM to 4:15 PM PT. Sonic Team director Takashi Iizuka and series co-creator Yuji Naka will be attending, as well as voice actors Roger Craig Smith (Sonic) and Mike Pollock (Doctor Eggman), Sonic social media manager and madman Aaron "RubyEclipse" Webber, and SEGA producer Austin Keys.
Sonic silver anniversary celebrations include an "art event and celebration mural," a "25th anniversary party," and events at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, though no additional details were provided.
With Sonic's 25th anniversary comes three known game releases:
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for the Nintendo 3DS on March 18th, the Wii U version of the crossover sports game in June, and Sanzaru Games' Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice this fall. The second season of the Sonic Boom cartoon is also slated to air on Cartoon Network around that same period.
We're only two months into 2016, but this year is certainly shaping up to be a great one for
Sonic fans far and wide! What else do you think is in store in the coming year for Sonic the Hedgehog? What are you hoping to see out of the 25th anniversary celebrations? Give us your thoughts in the comments!

Campaign signs were illegally placed around Encinitas beginning in December. City law states that signs cannot be placed on city-owned property, including sidewalks and street median landscaping. Photos by Jeremy Kron
Illegally placed campaign signs removed in Encinitas
Cities Community Community Encinitas Featured News Region
by Tawny McCray January 9, 2020 January 10, 2020 9 778
ENCINITAS — Encinitas resident Jeremy Kron is fed up with seeing election signs illegally displayed across the city — and he's making a case for change.
Just before the Christmas holiday, Kron began emailing a host of leaders in the community — including Mayor Catherine Blakespear and all the Encinitas council members — expressing his displeasure with the signs and pleading for their help in cracking down on offenders.
Kron, who in 2016 volunteered for Blakespear's campaign and learned the rules regarding signage when he helped distribute her yard signs, said he regularly checks for sign violators as he travels around the city by bike. In his emails, he reported seeing the first violation along Leucadia Boulevard on Dec. 19 — signs for Kristin Gaspar, who's running for re-election in the San Diego County Supervisor District 3 race. He said the signs he spotted were paid for and placed by the Deputy Sheriff's Association of San Diego County.
"Shortly after reporting the first pair and getting permission that day from City Hall's code enforcement desk, we checked the map to confirm illegality of placement, they permitted me to uproot them and deliver them to City Hall. I did so," Kron said Jan. 7.
Kron reported seeing illegally placed Gaspar signs again on Dec. 22 and Dec. 24.
"There are multiple new pro-Gaspar signs on public property along Leucadia Blvd right now which will not be enforced until the city resumes its regular business after the holidays," Kron wrote in his emails. "These will get thousands of views and grow in number over time, overtaking medians, sidewalks, and other public territories. It is truly a blight and a shameful indulgence by the offenders to pollute this fine city."
Kron said other current offenses he's seen include signs from two candidates running for Superior Court Judge.
Candidates who are backed by associations such as the Deputy Sheriff's Association have no control over the placement of signs posted by the associations.
Kron said that city code is explicit and detailed in its rules on signage in the city on different types of property. The city desk has an online map with the boundary lines.
In general, it says you cannot place signage on city-owned property, which includes sidewalks and street median landscaping — plants, trees and flowers. There are also strict limits on signage size in context of zoning rules.
You need permissions for signage on private property.
"We are fortunate to have many choices of candidates running for our various local and regional offices," Blakespear said in a statement to The Coast News on Jan. 8. "However, it is never legal to place campaign signs in our city rights-of-way, as it creates unsightly clutter and, in some cases, can impair traffic sightlines. For this reason, we outreach to the various campaigns to let them know our policies, and we have staff pull illegal signs on a regular basis."
The city said sweeps to look for and remove illegally placed signs are conducted once a week on random days. Current protocol asserts that all signs within the public right-of-way are removed and held for 30 days, during which time the city will make reasonable attempts to notify the candidate or committee of the right to reclaim. Thirty days after the election, the city will discard or destroy any unclaimed signs.
Individuals who want to report a sign can fill out a complaint form and return it to the city with the location of the signs.
The city reports that in 2018, 970 unlawfully placed political signs were removed.
Kron argues that the city of Encinitas has failed to consistently police and enforce the city's own codes against illegal signage placement and proposes a number of solutions to rectify this. They include implementing steep fines and a daily sweep and cleanup of the major sign hotspots in town, which he says include Encinitas Boulevard, Leucadia Boulevard, El Camino Real, Saxony Road, Quail Gardens Road, Vulcan Avenue, and San Elijo State Beach.
"I believe any enforcement policy must be consistent, fair, transparent and complete," he said. "Repeat offenders should be subject to steep fines and barred if they cannot abide by the law."
Kron said in an email he's officially lobbying Del Mar and Solana Beach for the same changes.
This week, Blakespear met with Assistant City Manager Mark Delin to look into updating the city's protocols and approach regarding signs. The city says it is considering more frequent sweeps of signs and evaluating additional ways for illegally placed sign locations to be reported to ensure current protocols are easy and efficient to enforce.
Kron said the prevalence of illegally placed signs can give those candidates an unfair advantage over opponents who go by the book.
"I've been screaming from the rooftops that the signs are effective at creating votes," Kron said. "(Offenders) repeatedly break the law with impunity, a strong response is needed to counter these activities. It's not fair for the ethical operators playing by the rules. In a close election they might lose because they did not compete unethically."

Ranchboy January 10, 2020 at 6:56 am
Notice in the article Gaspar is the only name mentioned. And also notice the person filing the complaint was a blakespear volunteer and rode a bicycle. Hmmm. I'm shocked
Commenter 1 January 10, 2020 at 10:33 am
Notice that Gaspar is the only candidate placing illegal signs.
Addie January 10, 2020 at 11:15 am
Maybe the reason Gaspar's name is the only one mentioned is….her signs were the only ones placed in violation of the law. Occam's Razor (look it up).
Jeremy K. January 10, 2020 at 12:13 pm
Ranchboy, you seem bitter. Have you been shorting Tesla or something? I like clean air, clean water, a clean city, the rule of law, fairness and to stay fit and reduce traffic congestion by cycling. Gaspar the biggest offender by about 3:1 over other offenders combined and signage has been shown to flip razor thin elections. Team Gaspar committed felony class signage theft of Roberts/Shea/Blakespear signs in 2016 and disposed of them in San Elijo Nature Center, vacant lots, farm fields, drainage culverts, etc… She has inside help at Code Enforcement and with the Sheriff's Dept, so don't fret too much. "The fix is in", but it's pro-Gaspar. Also, that's a capital "B" on Blakespear. Show some respect.
Judges Steven Miller and Roberta Winston are also guilty as charged for violations! 👩⚖ 👨⚖
Jeremy K. January 10, 2020 at 7:04 pm
Encinitans,
Please report signs in the public domain to code@encinitasca.gov. The number quoted by Code Enforcement of 970 is misleading: the signs are recycled through CE back to the offenders into the same and new illegal placements, in a time and money wasting circular cat and mouse game. Rinse. Repeat. We cannot LoJack each sign, but they can be ear-tagged like animals for the record and increasing fines. Just an idea.
I guess you pinheads haven't seen all the other signs besides Gaspars? blakespear will get respect when she and her other leftist bum loving friends do the right thing and STOP putting the City of Encinitas in more debt with dumb ideas.
I often wonder why cyclists have such a punk attitude.
Addie January 13, 2020 at 8:12 am
Dear Moron who wants to pretend he is Bill O,
I've seen other signs…legally placed. Also, I do not live in Encinitas and do not ride a bicycle. Your name says it all…you are a spoiled child.
Lowell January 13, 2020 at 8:16 am
The other main offender seems to be CJ Mody…you can see his sign in the picture. What does he have in common with Gaspar? Both are Republicans supported by the SD County Republican establishment. Likely the same people placing both of their signs illegally since Law Enforcement (off-duty) are the ones doing it.
The offenders by party seem roughly 85% (R) and 15% (D), but that is a guesstimate. Republicans are simply more profligate cheaters than Democrats and Independents, and to a degree where the "both sides" argument, while technically true, would be misleading and inaccurate. This needs to be addressed in a fair and complete way. The point is fairness to all and respecting the neutrality of public rights of way. That it is starting so early (mid-Dec.) is like a deep water buoy telling us a tsunami of signs is on the way. Best to lay down the hard line right now. Remember, this is not even addressing possibly specious claims by a candidate or measure on signage, such as when Paul Gaspar broke two CA criminal statutes in his signage claim of being a Medical Doctor in 2016. He earned a Bachelors in Physical Therapy, some of it online, was grandfathered into a PhD, then started wearing monogrammed lab coats with a stethoscope in print ads. I broke that story as well, but he got away with it all. It's deeply unethical to deceive voters. Both of them should be next to Duncan Hunter in a state prison.

Vintage Towle Sterling Butterfly Medallion Ornament Pendant. Just in time for Summer! Highly detailed sterling silver pendant featuring a delicate butterfly surrounded by flowers in repousse on a three inch long sterling disc two inches wide. Although designed by Towle as jewelry, the "Butterfly Medallion" has become very popular with sterling silver Christmas ornament collectors. I believe these came out in the early 1970's.
Pattern is the same on both sides of the pendant and it weighs a generous 28 grams. It is hallmarked with the Towle logo symbol and signed Towle Sterling.
It is in very good condition. There are surface scratches from use and polishing, but no dents, dings, bangs, scrapes or bends in this lovely piece.
The butterfly is a symbol of transformation or change, love and joy. Butterflies represent rebirth or transformation from the caterpillar to the beautiful butterfly. Let this silver beauty transform your Xmas tree or your neck! If by some small chance your item is not satisfactory, your return should still be received within 7 days or less.

Do any of you remember the 1975 movie Sheila Levine Is Dead And Living In New York? It's based on the novel of the same name by Gail Parent.
I read the novel first, and it didn't click with me. The central character seemed a little too cold and self-absorbed. In the movie, Sheila has more empathy.
Maybe you'll be disappointed if you rent this film. A lot of people don't care for it, and maybe with good reason. It didn't deserve the abuse from critics, though. They could have given it one star and found something gracious to say, but they were critics.
The studio, Paramount, has posted one scene on YouTube, listing it as a trailer. Please consider taking a look at it. I won't claim the film is a classic because it isn't. However, it depicts human desperation well. The characters could be anyone, and angst which appears simple should still be taken seriously.
Disclosure: I also liked Can't Stop The Music and Howard The Duck.


I'm 66 years old and experienced my first AF attack a couple of years ago which needed an overnight stay in hospital. I have, apart from just a few short- lived "flutters", stayed clear of symptoms. My doctor prescribed Sotalol to suppress the AF (I'm not on Warfarin) and up until last week everything was fine.
Unfortunately, I have now had a series of short- lived but definite attacks usually in the early hours of the morning. On top of that, since these incidents my sleep patterns have been shot to pieces (probably because I'm worried) which isn't helping at all.
My doctor has upped my medication to what he thinks is the safe limit and asked me to go back in two weeks to see if this controls things. Unfortunately, we are due to go on a three week holiday to Australia in October and I am now slightly concerned as to how I might cope assuming I have further AF episodes while I am out there.
I realise that this is minor compared to what some of you experience but am I right to be concerned?
Lots of us with PAF travel, have had episodes whilst traveling or in foreign countries and it has been absolutely fine, anxiety and stress won't help.
Thanks for replying quickly and being so reassuring.
you are very welcome, don't ever hesitate to ask any questions, a lot of us have been exactly where you are now, this site is very supportive and I only give back what I received.
I've been to Korea with AF so try not to worry too much! Just make sure your travel insurance covers it - there are companies out there that will cover you quite reasonably, I use Staysure but others use different providers, there's advice on the AFA website I believe. And do ask about anticoagulants, that's really important, I'm guessing that at 66 your Chads2Vasc score must be at least 1?
As your holiday is so close your doctor may want to put you on one of the newer anticoagulants as getting in range on warfarin can be a faff. Worth discussing all this with your doctor anyway, just to put your mind at rest.
Thank you! Yes, I have insured with Staysure. The advice about anticoagulants was interesting; my doctor has only mentioned Warfarin for some reason which has worried me as I know there are other options. Thanks once again for very helpful, informative advice.
I think anti coagulation is important here- you can work out your CHADSVASC2 score if you look at the AFA website and if that shows you need anti-coagulation I think it would be a priority with a long distance flight- all other good advice above about flying, dehydration etc.
I have found exercise and high potassium foods have reduced episodes- also leave out all caffeine if you can !!
Thank you, Rosie. Yet more very useful information. I'm learning a lot today!
Ian sorry for the late hour but just been on a 600mile jaunt to a family funeral. Firstly others have mentioned anticoagulation but nobody has mentioned sotalol. NICE removed sotalol from its list of drugs suitable for treating AF in their latest guidelines issued in June . I suggest you point this out to your GP asap and find another drug you can take which is recommended.
All the other advise is great.
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply after what sounds like not the best of days. No, I was not aware of NICE's recommendations regarding Sotalol though I will definitely follow it up with my GP. I very much appreciated your information.
On your flight, no alcohol, plenty of water, light low sugar food intake and exercise your legs. I take an aisle seat and also push against the metal anchor of the seat in front (the passenger in front can't feel it!) to flex the calve muscles. I looked into this when I got a blood clot in my leg 15 years ago driving for 3 hours in heavy traffic without a break. Had no problem since.
Everybody on this forum has been incredibly helpful and you have been no exception to this. Many thanks for taking the bother to contact me.
On the topic of hydration - when you are there make sure you keep well 'watered' - the southern and eastern States shouldn't be too hot at that time of year but if you are going to the 'top end' you will need to maintain a very good level of hydration, especially if its humid.
And of course ..... and its mandatory when you are visiting Oz ........ have a bloody good time !
Thanks John from a fellow resident in Cornwall. Some great travel tips which I will observe! And yes, I do intend having a fantastic time.

Q: Sincronizar un repo de GIT con FTP Tenemos el siguiente escenario:

*

*Servidor con fuentes al que se accede via FTP.

*Un repositorio git sincronizado con dicho repositorio

Durante el día los cambios se realizan en el FTP (sincronización de archivos)
En la noche se toman los cambios y se realiza un commit en GIT desde una máquina local
Con distinto huso horario otra persona toma los cambios del FTP
Hace cambios en el FTP
Debe subir dichos cambios al GIT
necesitamos subir al GIT todo el trabajo que hace la segunda persona para reiniciar el ciclo.
Con las siguientes restricciones:
No se puede instalar git en la maquina que tiene el FTP
Se debe mantener la fecha de modificación de los arhivos en el FTP y no la fecha en que se realizó el commit.
Probamos hacer:
git merge -Xours --progress --stat pero cuando da conflictos (y deberia ignorarlos en favor de los nuestros se bloquea)
git stash + drop
git pull -Xours --progress -v --no-rebase "origin" (no borra cambios locales)

Debe haber una solucion canónica a este problema
Agradecemos la ayuda

A: Se que esta pregunta fue de hace ya mucho tiempo pero como he visto que no hay respuesta aqui mi aporte, para usar git y FTP se puede usar lo siguiente.
Git-FTP
Git-FTP es un cliente FTP escrito en shell.
Permite transferir solamente aquellos ficheros que han sido modificados en el repositorio Git desde la última actualización. Sin importar en que rama se esté trabajando, git-ftp permite identificar los ficheros cambiados.
¿Cómo funciona git-ftp?
Git-FTP utiliza como parámetros para su funcionamiento las credenciales del servidor FTP y la ubicación del repositorio git donde desea realizar el despliegue. Esto le permite posicionarse en el directorio para obtener los ficheros modificados y utiliza las credenciales para establecer la conexión.
Para identificar los ficheros que tienen que ser actualizados Git-FTP crea un fichero llamado .git-fpt.log en el hosting donde guarda el valor SHA1 que identifica al commit de git. Por tal motivo, en la próxima actualización puede establecer la diferencia entre el commit actual del repositorio y el que está en el servidor para conocer los ficheros que han sido modificados.
Inconvenientes de git-ftp
Git-FTP no significa tener un control de versiones en el servidor. Los cambios realizados de forma manual en el alojamiento web no serán detectados por esta herramienta y pudiera implicar posibles actualizaciones no deseadas de ficheros.
Se recomienda para el uso de Git-FTP utilizar siempre el mismo flujo para el despliegue.

The chiropractor I went to really helped in this endeavor because they had a room at the office filled with weights and other equipment patients can use to learn how to stretch and exercise correctly. You aren't just thrown into the room on your own, either. There is an extensive list of exercises for various parts of your body that you can learn there and you also learn the correct technique. That last point is extremely important because if you do any of these exercises incorrectly you can cause damage and even more pain that might not go away.
So I went in and had some work done and then learned how to do some stretches with light weights that should keep me in excellent health. I have to say it works. I've been pretty good about keeping up with the exercising and I haven't had a recurrence of pain at all. In fact, I actually feel better in other ways and feel like I have more stamina. The stretches have inspired me to join a gym and start exercising my entire body which should lead to even better physical health. I owe it all to an old shoulder injury and the chiropractor!

TN TRB selection list for the direct recruitment of the special teachers have been released on the official website of the Board. The Tamil Nadu Teachers Recruitment Board or TN TRB selection list can be accessed from the website, trb.tn.nic.in. TN TRB conducted written competitive examination for the direct recruitment of special teachers on September 23, 2017 and results were published on June 14, 2018. The provisional selection list for the Directorate of School Education and other departments are released today.
The Teachers Recruitment Board conducted certificate verification for School Education Department and other departments namely Coimbatore Corporation, Chennai Corporation, State council for educational research and training and Social Defence Department on August 13, 2018, said a statement from the Board.
According to the TN TRB, this selection is purely provisional and is subject to the outcome of various writ petitions pending before the High Court of Madras and Madurai Bench of Madras High Court.

Many people who use Google Chrome often complain of the different ads that come on their browser platform; these could be pop-ups or pop-under, banner ads or autoplay video ads. These also show up in social media platforms, sites you browse or search and so forth.
Here are some solutions that can help prevent ad content or minimize the same as you browse.
There are certain options included in Chrome browser that helps to block out pop up ads.
Open the browser and find the three dots button on the top right-hand corner of the browser page.
Find Settings from the drop-down menu that appears when you click on it.
Scroll down on the list and find Advanced option under Settings.
Click on Content and choose pop-ups which appear as an option for customizing.
Switch or enable the Blocked mode; you could also add white listed URLs here.
This is also an option if you find the ad blocking feature inbuilt in Google Chrome to be ineffective. There are other options such as system level ad blocker programs. These can help prevent pop up ads from appearing on the websites you browse but also help to remove other kinds of ad formats that are often found on internet sites.
Log onto a search engine and look for system level ad blocker programs.
Find a program that would be compatible to your system and has good reviews from users.
When you have an effective ad blocking software working at the backend it would help prevent intrusive ads such as what we see on social media sites as well as on YouTube.
Choose a system level ad blocker program that does not take up too much memory or computer resource when running. There should not be any need to change browser settings with such a program. It also provides the advantage of not having to install an extension for blocking out ads.
There is no reason why you need to resort to only one method. You can block out pop-ups from Chrome settings as well as have ad blocker third party software installed to ensure that your browsing sessions are mostly ad-free.
The above steps can help to reduce ads from interrupting one's browsing sessions on Google Chrome.
Those who are apprehensive of being tracked while they are browsing the internet or their private information being collected, they can opt for Incognito browsing feature that Google Chrome offers.

Three BTS Members Test Positive for COVID-19 After U.S. Concert
It has been revealed that Jin and RM have joined groupmate Suga as members who are diagnosed with the coronavirus upon returning from the group's scheduled events in the U.S.
AceShowbiz -Three of seven members of K-Pop group BTS (Bangtan Boys) have tested positive for COVID-19 upon returning from the United States. On Saturday, December 25, it was revealed that Jin and RM joined groupmate Suga as members who were diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Big Hit Music, the management company for the mega hit group, announced the diagnosis in a statement. "After returning on Friday the 17th from the United States following his personal schedule as part of his official vacation period, RM immediately underwent PCR testing, was found negative and entered into self-quarantine in his home as mandated by COVID-19 control procedures," the statement read. "However, he underwent PCR testing [Saturday] before his scheduled release from quarantine and was found to be positive for COVID-19."
As for Jin, the company said, "Jin returned to Korea on Monday, December 6 and underwent PCR testing immediately after his return and again before his release from self-quarantine, and was found negative on both occasions." It continued, "However, feeling flu-like symptoms [Saturday] afternoon he underwent PCR testing and was found positive for COVID-19 late this evening."
According to Big Hit Music, both RM and Jin both completed their second round of COVID-19 vaccinations in late August. The agency went on to say that neither RM nor Jin "had any contact" with other members of BTS after their return to Korea. It was also noted that South Korean goverment requires all international travelers to quarantine for 10 days regardless of their vaccination status.
Prior to announcing RM and Jin's COVID-19 diagnosis, Big Hit Music revealed that Suga tested positive for COVID-19 on Christmas Eve after returning to South Korea from the U.S. While Suga doesn't currently have any symptoms, the "Butter" singer "is currently administering self care at home per the guidelines of the healthcare authorities."
The company went on to note that it "places the artists' health as our top priority, and we will do everything we can to aid SUGA in his speedy recovery. We will also diligently cooperate with the requests and guidelines of the healthcare authorities."
The news arrived after BTS attended their scheduled events in the U.S., including "BTS Permission to Dance on Stage — L.A." and the "2021 Jingle Ball Tour". The members were also given an extended long vacation after finishing the schedules with Suga spending the longest time in the country.

Q: How many neutrinos would it take to kill you? Of course, there are many different kinds, so let's assume:

*

*they'rre all standard $v_e$.

*they all intersect your body in random places.

*they are going at say, 10% of c (about accelerator speed).

the standard target for a lethal dose is 50% of human adult subjects dead, either immediately or from complications (which is more likely with neutrinos as they have a small chance each of weak-forcing a neutron to beta decay, which can disrupt cellular function and give you cancer). How many would it take for this to happen?

A:
Each second there are about 100 billion ghostly solar neutrinos passing through the tip of your finger, and every other square centimeter of your body, whether you are indoors or outdoors, or whether it is day or night, and without your body noticing them, or them noticing your body. At night they go through the entire Earth before reaching you.

Neutrinos are quantum mechanical elementary particles, and the question, imo, to ask,because quantum mechanics is a probabilistic theory,  "how probable is it for a cosmic neutrino to interact with a nucleus in your cells and create a neutron interaction that will lead to a cancer cell which will develop to cancer"

For example the neutrinos produced in nuclear reactors with energy E=1MeV have a crosssection of order $10^{-44}$,
this corresponds to a probability of $10^{-18}$ to interact in a solid detector with the thickness of one meter,

The odds are against the cancer  happening as these numbers show.
Th physics reason this is so , it is because neutrinos are neutral,and interact to first order  with the weak interaction which means they have a very small probability to interact.

Will hold talks with farmers on December 30, says Govt amid hopes to break deadlock
The Centre on Monday decided to hold talks with farmers over their apprehensions relating to the new agri reforms on December 30, a day later than what the farmer unions had proposed.
New Delhi Updated on: December 28, 2020 22:57 IST
Will hold talks with farmers on December 30, says Govt
The Union Agriculture Ministry, in a letter to the farmer unions, said that the government was ready to resolve the impasse with an open mind. The government has called the farmer union leaders to discuss contentious issues at 2 pm in Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on Wednesday.

This would be the sixth round of talks between the farmers and the government. The earlier rounds of talks remained inconclusive.
On Saturday, the farmer unions sought to hold talks with the government at 11 am on December 29. They also outlined four major issues which, they said, should come up for discussion during the talks. The agenda proposed by the protesting unions includes modalities to repeal the farm laws, legal guarantee for MSP (Minimum Support Price), amendments to be made and notified in the Commission for the Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas Ordinance, 2020 to exclude farmers from its penal provisions.

Ugandan Diaspora News | Letter from the Editor | April 2013 | Spring Forward
Posted March 31, 2013 by Ugandan Diaspora News Team in Editorial ~ 19,100 views
The time to "spring forward" has come for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, as we adjust our clocks, adding an hour of daylight to most people's schedule. Originally conceived as a way to save energy, there are conflicting views and studies concerning the benefits derived from the time change and its impact on our circadian rhythms (the scientific term for our "body clock" and how it is affected by light).
Last month we witnessed the inauguration of a new Pontiff, Pope Francis I, who chose his name after Francis of Assisi, the much-loved Italian patron saint. St. Francis, who shunned opulence, led a monastic life, loved nature and founded the Order of Franciscans to serve the poor, is certainly an inspiring namesake.
Many are the challenges facing the Roman Catholic Church. Much as Francis is said to have been called on by God to repair a church in ruins. the inspiring namesake could reflect the desire of the Pope to bring serenity to the troubled institution as many of its 1.2 billion followers have called for institutional reforms.
Exciting news coming out of Uganda this past month–the government has proposed building a new city at Karuma. This is a development I think has been long overdue, given the lack of planning and resulting chaos that has enveloped Metropolitan Kampala over the years. I always thought Nakasongola was ideal, given its centrality, but Karuma would be an even better location, with its proximity to the Nile, the proposed Karuma dam and Murchison Falls National Park. Build a modern airport there and Eastern Congo and Southern Sudan would benefit along with regional centers like Arua, Gulu, Lira and Masindi. With proper project management Kampala could remain a commercial capital, similar to what Nigeria did when Lagos was made a commercial capital and the administrative capital was moved to Abuja.
Other news from Africa: in Kenya Raila Odinga, long favored to succeed President Mwai Kibaki, saw a spirited campaign marred by tribalism and regionalism that cost him the election to Uhuru Kenyatta. The Supreme Court, despite some voting irrregularities that took place, has not overturned the outcome and the rule of law has prevailed in what was a heated contest between the sons of founding fathers Jomo Kenyatta and Jamarogi Oginga Odinga. But just when you may have thought that military coups and takeovers were a thing of the past, Central Africa's François Bozizé, after 10 years as president, was overthrown by rebel forces in the capital Bangui.
In the US, the Supreme Court has been debating and hearing arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act, which does not allow same-sex marriage. This has remained a thorny and divisive issue for many in the US. I find it strange that while this type of civil union still faces resistance in the US, US foreign policy has been trying to influence choices on the issue especially in Africa.
The Boston Ugandan Diaspora Business Expo slated for July 6th is rapidly taking shape — all roads will be leading to the Boston Marriott in Burlington. Here is why you need to be in Boston. It is estimated that up to 20,000 Ugandans call the Bay State and New England home. For those looking to sell or buy property back home this would present a unique investment opportunity. Bankers, property managers, investment advisers and a host of other business leaders from Uganda led by Prof. Maggie Kigozi will be in attendance.
For those looking to expand on their networks, particularly regarding opportunities in Business, Energy, Health, Education, Investment, Trade and Tourism, the event has also catered for you, with a great evening entertainment line-up to boot. This red carpet affair should be uniquely spectacular! Vendor and Magazine space is available for purchase. A special discounted room rate has also been negotiated. http://www.ugandandiasporanews.com/2013/03/27/the-burlington-marriott-hotel-to-host-first-boston-ugandan-diaspora-business-expo-saturday-6th-july-2013/
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

Ronnie, your editorials like this one are broad-based and informative. They represent what this magazine is all about. The printed word supplemented by live events such as the upcoming Business Expo. in July will continue to be effective as a caucus for the Uganda diaspora community and also a non-partisan representative of Uganda. Thank you and all your editorial team.
Thank you Isaac. We do appreciate your support and contribution 🙂
Hi Ronnie,
Your write up is very good.
Quite informative and educative like the way you have captured the change of time
to add an hour and its implication on the body clock etc…
The caption on the new Pope, the proposal for a new city away from Kampala,
political climate in Kenya and the upcoming July event in the Burlington Marriott Hotel, Boston!
On another note, please check the NTV link on the page, every time I check on it, I only get the same old

Q: Displaying multiple lines of text and variables in an AlertDialog using setMessage() I need to display multiple lines of text in an Alert Dialog. If I use multiple setMessage() methods, only the last setMessage is displayed, as shown below.
final AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
                alertDialog.setTitle("Statistics:");
                alertDialog.setMessage("No. of attempts: " + counter);
                alertDialog.setMessage("No. of wins: " + counterpos);
                alertDialog.setMessage("No. of losses: " + counterneg);

Is there a way to create a new line for each of these in the dialog? Like using \n in System.print.out(); method.
Thanks!

A: You can do something like this
String alert1 = "No. of attempts: " + counter;
String alert2 = "No. of wins: " + counterpos;
String alert3 = "No. of losses: " + counterneg;
alertDialog.setMessage(alert1 +"\n"+ alert2 +"\n"+ alert3);

A: Kotlin simplifies the solution by:

*

*chaining the calls of the set methods

*using interpolated strings

as follows:
"AlertDialog.Builder
This Builder object to allow for chaining of calls to set methods
"
(https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlertDialog.Builder)
    fun alertDemo() {
        var counter: Int = 5

        var counterpos: Int = 2
        var counterneg: Int = 3
        val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(this)
            .setTitle("Statistics:")
            .setMessage("""
                |number of
                |
                |attempts: $counter
                |wins: $counterpos
                |losses: $counterneg
                """.trimMargin())
            .show()
    }

I had prepared a screen-shot of the result, but as I am new here, I appear to have learned that uploading screenshots may be restricted to higher level community peers. Or did I miss something? Thank you for enlighting (perhaps not only) myself :)
The screenshot comes in a nice format without showing the bars.
PS:
For the minimalists, due to chaining, we could even eliminate the redundant "val builder ="

A: You could just create one string of everything you want to show and add "\n" where you'd like the line breaks to be.
alertDialog.setMessage("No. of attempts: " + counter + "\n" +
            "No. of wins: " + counterpos + "\n" +
            "No. of losses: " + counterneg);

Or even better to use a StringBuilder:
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("No. of attempts: " + counter);
sb.append("\n");
sb.append("No. of wins: " + counterpos);
sb.append("\n");
sb.append("No. of losses: " + counterneg);
alertDialog.setMessage(sb.toString());

And the best way to do it would be to extract the static texts into a string resource (in the strings.xml file). Use the %d (or %s if you want to insert strings rather than ints) to get the dynamic values in the right places:
<string name="alert_message">No. of attempts: %1$d\nNo. of wins: %2$d\nNo. of losses: %3$d</string>

And then in code:
String message = getString(R.string.alert_message, counter, counterpos, counterneg);
alertDialog.setMessage(message);

A: You can also insert newlines directly in the strings.xml file:
<string name="my_string_text">This would revert your progress.\n\n Are you sure you want to proceed?</string>

Michael J. Burstein
Towards a New Standard for First Amendment Review of Structural Media Regulation
The Supreme Court's decisions in the Turner Broadcasting cases ushered in a new era of rigorous judicial oversight of regulations aimed at shaping the economic structure of the media industry. The Turner decisions, and especially their application by lower courts, have expanded the range of regulations subject to heightened First Amendment scrutiny, consistently granted lower levels of deference to legislative and administrative judgments, and applied a degree of economic scrutiny of regulatory choices unseen since the Lochner era. In this Note, Michael Burstein argues that such scrutiny is inappropriate in light of the quickening pace of technological and economic change that marks the modern information environment. He observes that the technological balkanization of First Amendment jurisprudence has outlived its usefulness and that applying a unitary standard to all activities of a particular type of media fails to focus judicial attention on the entity's core speech activities. Instead, Burstein proposes that courts draw a distinction between regulations that impact content production or editorial choices and those which aim to structure the distribution of information. The former remain deserving of heightened scrutiny, but the latter implicate a long tradition of allowing government regulation to improve the information order. Because government necessarily must make choices among competing instrumental arrangements, none of which implicates a particular normative theory of the First Amendment, such choices are entitled to judicial deference. As technology blurs the lines between different media outlets, this framework should provide the needed flexibility to protect the First Amendment interests of both media entities and the public they serve.

Moving house is something most people only do a few times in their whole lives, so we have put together some simple guides to help you through it and the removals process. If you move with us we will provide you with a more detailed guide to packing and preparing for the big day!
Give us a call to speak to our specialist house movers and they will give you advice on everything you need in order to be able to move quickly and easily. From domestic moves to office moves; we provide a range of services and advice on each of them to make the process as easy as possible for you.
You will need to let all your service providers know you are moving house, but you will also need to take meter readings and cancel your accounts on the day you actually leave. In addition, you need to make sure you arrange well in advance to have connections ready in your new home, or you could have a very cold first few days!
To ensure that your mail is redirected without delay, ask the Royal Mail to do it for you, a week before your move go into any Post Office and complete a Moving Home redirection application form.
It is best to inform the Inland Revenue yourself, so get the address of your tax office from your employer or from your notice of coding.
Notify the local council at both ends of your move.
It is usually best to fill each book box only half way with books, and top it up with lighter objects. This makes the job easier for our men and protects the lighter objects by giving them a sturdy base.
If your move is international or long haul, remember to pack some essential items separately like toiletries, things to do and some food. It's often a good idea to have things like any food and a kettle available for the far end of the removal, and remember any important documents like passports!
Avoid mixing your cabinet keys up; attach all your keys to the relevant items!
Moving house is not only stressful for humans it can also be distressing for your pets too, so it is often best to keep them out of the way; in the garden or with a neighbour. Regrettably we cannot carry pets in our vehicles as the stress and possible exhaust fumes may endanger them.
Children are naturally curious, and can easily get in the way and be injured. The younger ones are best left with a neighbour or friend until it is time to leave.
Just work your way through each step and trust in our expertise to do the rest; there is a lot to be done so start preparing early and avoid any last minute panic!

did u have to roll your fenders to get your rear tires to fit up in the wheel well?
^What drop do you have...?
i have nuespeed sport springs. i went through like a million sets of coilovers and springs before i found some i really liked. and these were the cheapest. cost me like 169$. i really like them though. is my back sagging? i can't really tell in that picture.

i had the progress springs on my car and had to trim the inner fender wells. all i did was take a die grinder and grinded down the inner lip. with a 1.8' drop and 225/40/18's i did not rub at all. i have since gone to eibach coils and kyb agx shocks and lifter it up a bit so i dont scrape my evo 2 coffee can.
what offset of rims did u have then if u had 225s out back and didn't rub?
just doesn't look like that deck belongs there for some reason. They should've made it black.
i dont know the offset when i bought the rims i just took it in and said i want those. and they put them on. i am running a .25" spacer all the way around and had to trim my frnder lip to get the clearance. i guess ill have to go measure the offset now that you mention it. when i first got them i didnt know much about rim sizing. i am actually going to a set of gramlight 57s 17" so i can run a little bigger tire for ride quality reasons. 18's on a vic looks good but the ride is pretty jaring.
I guess it's Kenwood . I don't even use it that much, but had to have it.
And I agree with Gearbox. I think they could've matched it better, but I couldn't be happier with the convenience of it.


i thought winter was the greatest season ever, but now i think spring is going to be the greatest season ever. (i don't know, i also sometimes think fall and summer are the greatest seasons ever, too.) either way, let's kick it off in a sweet way with sweet tahini spread, aka halva spread! this comes as the result of being 1,500 miles away from brooklyn sesame, a trillion miles away from israel (where apparently this is super common), and after having had some major halva failures. major halva failures. while this spread comes in a different form than your typical fudge-like halva, it's just as yummy and making it won't cause you to feel like a big fat failure.
you can make this spread in the time it takes your coffee to brew, and you can eat it on toast, mixed into yogurt, with a spoon, or however else you please. you can also flavor it with a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla or almond extract, some cocoa powder or chocolate, or toasted nuts for a crunchy variety.
it's basically peanut butter's fancy schmancy cousin.
makes 1 1/4 cups, but can easily be halved, doubled, etc.
mix all of the ingredients well. if your tahini is pretty thick and pasty, add flavorless oil (like vegetable oil) bit by bit until it gets creamy.
taste, and adjust as desired.


Nobody likes being stuck in traffic and in the recent past the solution was to build more roads (or add more lanes). Ironically this makes traffic worse as an increase in traffic capacity means more people will drive places. These narrow-minded solutions are still applied in some places like Toronto where Crack-Mayor removed bike lanes. Hopefully the next time transportation options are being looked at crack-voters will come to understand that the best way to make traffic flow better is to not cater to car drivers.
Whenever some city proposes taking lanes away from a road, residents scream that they're going to create a huge traffic snarl. But the data shows that nothing truly terrible happens. The amount of traffic on the road simply readjusts and overall congestion doesn't really increase.


In the latest episode of Bigg Boss Tamil season 2, Aishwarya Dutta and Mumtaz had an early morning discussion in which Mumtaz was seen giving suggestions about her ligament issues.
Aishwarya was seen speaking in English. Hence, the alarm rang following which, 5 inmates had to jump into the swimming pool following the alarm.
After making the mistake, Aishwarya didn't request the inmates to jump into the water. Therefore, Vijayalakshmi, Janani, Riythvika and Bhalajie discussed that it is not necessary to do the task as Aishwarya didn't request them.
Due to the arrogant attitude of Aishwarya, no one was ready to jump into the water. When Yashika asked about this, Riythvika, Janani and Vijayalakshmi said that they are ready to jump into the water but Aishwarya should request them.
Aishwarya, on the other hand, was seen quite reluctant to do the same.
Yashika also tried to convince Aishwarya but fails.
Finally, when Riythvika and Janani were jumping into the pool, Aishwarya arrogantly said that she will continue to speak in English. As Aishwarya was continuously speaking in English, the alarm went on again.
Being a captain, Yashika tried to convey the rules to Aishwarya but she misunderstood her. Aishwarya blamed that Yashika is biased and the fight continued.
Mumtaz used the steamer to dry her clothes. She saw Vijayalakshmi coming in and wrongly assumed that Vijayalakshmi might use the steamer. She left the place without switching the steamer off. Vijayalakshmi complained about this to Bigg Boss.
Vijayalakshmi sought clarifications from the inmates about the steamer issue. Mumtaz accepted her mistake that she didn't switch the steamer off. The two continued to argue regarding the issue.
Riythvika read out the next announcement of Bigg Boss that, Yashika's captaincy has come to an end. Everyone was given a chance to participate in the task of selecting the new captain. The inmates had to perform a task using the 7 wooden blocks.
Riythvika completed the task successfully. Hence, she became the captain of the house, for the first time. Following this, Riythvika segregated the inmates into different teams for performing household chores.
Mumtaz wanted to confirm what Aishwarya spoke about her when she was not ready to colour her hair for Riythvika. Aishwarya accepted that she had commented negatively about Mumtaz.

LONDON – Today, Qatar Airways and Iberia have announced an expansion in their codesharing agreements, which is to offer Iberia's customers increased connectivity to destinations across the Middle East and Asia while providing Qatar Airways flyers extended connectivity onwards to Latin America.
The Qatar Airways code will be applied onto routes currently operated by Iberia such as Madrid-Panama City (Panama), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Bogotá Medellin (Columbia), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).

Currently, Qatar Airways offers two flights a day between Madrid and Doha, but in the Summer, they will be increasing to 17 flights per week.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said, "Expanding the codeshare partnership with Iberia was a natural progression based on our customers' mutual desire for additional destinations across both networks, as well as our membership in the oneworld alliance. Latin America is a key area of growth for us, and we are delighted to be able to provide access to these new, fast-growing cities for our valued passengers from Qatar, the broader Middle East, South Asia and beyond with seamless connectivity."

Iberia chairman and chief executive officer Luis Gallego said, "We are very happy to announce this expanded codeshare agreement with our oneworld partner, Qatar Airways. With these additional routes, we will be able to provide our customers with greater access to the Middle East and Asia, offering even more choice to both business and leisure travelers."
We'll be working with @qatarairways to get you closer to 14 new unique destinations: Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Australia among many others! ✈🌏
— Iberia English (@Iberia_en) March 20, 2018
On top of the airline names being on the routes, the carriers will enhance the frequent flyer programmes on each side and will give increased accessibility to Hamad International Airport as well as Iberia's hub at Madrid's Terminal 4.
Qatar Airways is set to launch more services this year to destinations like London Gatwick, Cardiff, Lisbon, Tallinn, Valletta, Cebu and Davao, Langkawi, Da Nang, Bodrum, Antalya and Hatay, Mykonos and Thessaloniki as well as Malaga.

Iberia, on the other hand, is currently the leading carrier, operating the most routes between Europe and Latin America. With all of the subsidiaries under the Iberia name, they operate 600 daily flights to 131 destinations in 48 different countries.
This expansion follows just after a year of their existing agreement being made in late March/early April 2017.
The fact that they are expanding onwards into their partnership would highlight good relations and good business value to each other. It is something that ultimately is going to connect the two sides on what is an utmost global scale.

Phil's Reviews: Stuff I Bought #476
Posted on June 8, 2018 by Phil
Doctor Strange #1 (#391) — Writer: Mark Waid; Art/Colors: Jesus Saiz
Captain America #703 — Writer: Mark Waid; Art: Leonardo Romero with Alan Davis and Mark Farmer; Colors: Jordie Bellaire with Irma Kniivila
Ant-Man and the Wasp #1 — Writer: Mark Waid; Art: Javier Garron; Colors: Israel Silva
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Living Legends #1 (of 1) — Writer: Ralph Macchio; Art: Andrea di Vito; Colors: Laura Villari
True Believers: Ant-Man and the Wasp — The Birth of Giant-Man #1 (of 1) — Writer: Stan Lee; Art: Jack Kirby with Don Heck
Longtime comics scripter Mark Waid gets a hat trick this week, with three different Marvel comics. Doctor Strange #1 (#391, for obsessive collectors like you and me) begins his latest tenure on that title, with a seven-page flashback showing Strange at his peak, and then a flash-forward to today, where he's mysteriously lost connection to his powers, leaving Earth vulnerable to all those magical/supernaturtal incursions he's supposed to be protecting us from. Part of Waid's appeal is that his stories are so rich in character, continuity and clever plotting, and this is no exception; although the "Strange loses magic" bit is old hat — it was the driver behind both Jason Aaron's and Donny Cates's recent tenures on the book — this goes in a different direction than they did (as in, Strange goes in search of alien Sorcerers Supreme, in a Tony Stark-provided spaceship) and shows some promise, providing it doesn't go on too long. Going in unexpected directions has been the theme of Waid's latest Captain America arc, too — set 100 years from now, it involves one of Cap's descendants (a historian, not a soldier) uncovering a massive Kree plot and inadvertently resurrecting an old antagonist; Leonardo Romero has a fine-lined style much like previous Cap collaborator Chris Samnee, and there's an early-Avengers-years flashback by the very polished Alan Davis/Mark Farmer team, so this comic both reads well and looks good. Finally, there's Ant-Man and the Wasp #1, the first of an ongoing series with those movie's-about-to-come-out characters; it utilizes Scott Lang and Nadia Van Dyne (Hank Pym's daughter, whose first appearances Waid wrote when he was over on the main Avengers title). Lang, stranded on the Nova Corps world after a Guardians of the Galaxy adventure, calls Nadia to see if she can figure out a way to beam him home; of course, it goes awry, and they end up lost in the microverse. The two make a surprisingly-effective, if often-bickering, team (maybe not so surprising, given Waid's knack with character and plotting), and Javier Garron's art (he's previously been on Secret Warriors, Star-Lord, Cyclops and Death of X, among others) offers some good design and figure work, with cool coloring from Israel Silva on the psychedelic-microverse parts. This is a high-quality launch for the series, and worth investigating. There are two other Ant-Man/Wasp books this week: True Believers is a dollar-reprint comic offering over 30 pages of classic Stan Lee/Jack Kirby art: the second appearance of Hank Pym as Ant-Man, from Tales to Astonish #35, and his first use of his Pym particles to become Giant-Man, in TTA #49: unless you already have those comics, this is a bargain — and a great gift for any kids you know who'll have seen the movie. The other new Ant-book, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Living Legends, is a competent, accessible one-shot sequel to that first Giant-Man appearance: it's got Scott Lang and Janet Van Dyne teaming up for a return to the dimension of the Living Eraser, and makes a good companion to it.
The Immortal Hulk #1 (#718) — Writer: Al Ewing; Pencils: Joe Bennett; Inks: Ruy Jose; Colors: Paul Mounts
Deadpool #1 (#301) — Writer: Skottie Young; Art: Nic Klein and Scott Hepburn; Colors: Nic Klein and Ian Herring
Infinity Countdown #4 (of 5) — Writer: Gerry Duggan; Pencils: Aaron Kuder and Mike Hawthorne; Inks: Aaron Kuder, Terry Pallot and Joase Marzan Jr.; Colors: Jordie Bellaire
Immortal Hulk has been presented as a horror comic (and in fact Ewing sets up, and Bennett delivers, on at least three casually-terrifying scenes), but it's more of a tribute to the early-Peter-David-era Hulk: a chilling combination of smart, nasty and violent. That run's worth emulating because it lasted twelve years, and whether this one lasts for that long, or just for a year, the creators seem to be having a lot of fun trying to top it. In the last volume of Deadpool, writer Gerry Duggan's final issue wiped the mercenary's memory; that leaves the writer of the newest version, Skottie Young, with a streamlined, continuity-light character easily recognizable to fans of the movie; as Young shows in his creator-owned I Hate Fairyland, he's very good at combining light fantasy with murderous cartoony violence, and he puts that very specialized skill to use here. Infinity Countdown sees one major cosmic-character relationship reset to its factory settings, and lots of scrambling over who gets which Infinity Stones, even as it keeps counting down to an even-more-infinite event next month. It's fine; although a couple of Warlock pages near the end, I think by Hawthorne, don't do the character much justice (in fairness, it's hard to think of anyone other than Gil Kane and Jim Starlin who's really made him look good); a bunch of characters and plot threads get moved around efficiently and advanced clearly, and this offers a good-enough chunk of the ongoing narrative to bring readers back for more.
Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Nightwing vs Hush #1 (of 1) — Writer: Tim Seeley; Art: Travis Moore with Otto Schmidt; Colors: Tamra Bonvillain
Batman #48 — Writer: Tom King; Art: Mikel Janin; Colors: June Chung
The Man of Steel #2 (of 6) — Writer: Brian Michael Bendis; Art: Doc Shaner, Steve Rude and Jay Fabok; Colors: Alex Sinclair
Justice League #1 — Writer: Scott Snyder; Pencils: Jim Cheung; Inks: Mark Morales; Colors: Tomeu Morey
Of DC's big two characters, Batman gets a little more attention in this week's books, with his wedding fast approaching. Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Nightwing vs Hush #1 pretty much tells you everything you want to know about it in its title — although there's a lot of Superman in it, too, as Clark prepares a bachelor party for Bruce, the title bad guy shows up, and stuff happens; it's well-enough told, and it manages to add some info about the approaching nuptials while putting the characters through their paces and setting up a future plot point or two. It's the main Batman title where the action really occurs, though, as the Joker, peeved at his lack of an invitation to the big event, kills a whole church full of people to get his adversary's attention. King, as you might expect, does a great Joker: crazy, casually homicidal and surprisingly well-prepared for an agent of chaos; this bloody-minded fun should be catnip for any regular bat-fan. Moving from Gotham to Metropolis, everyone's been curious about how Brian Bendis will handle his new scripting duties on both Superman titles, and his introductory weekly mini-series Man of Steel, while not head-turning, should leave wary readers hopeful: the characters look and sound right, the mysteries and sub-plots bubble along nicely, and, despite elements like the disappearance of Lois and Jon, there's no hint that the current foundations of the book will actually change: it's just a briskly-told, satisfying installment of the overall story (if Lois gets reality-altering powers and goes crazy and the book's title changes to Superman Disassembled, then maybe we'll need to talk…). An even-bigger buzz might be building around Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung's new Justice League, and deservedly so: the book's cover has Bruce and Clark (and Diana) firmly at center stage, with a membership roster including J'onn J'onzz as chairman, Hawkwoman and the John Stewart Green Lantern. The story itself opens at top speed, quickly recaps how the events of Dark Nights: Metal had an ominous effect on the DC multiverse (short version: it's got a year to live…), introduces a number of moving parts, and even stirs in some nostalgia for readers of a certain TV-cartoon age, including a new Hall of Justice and, inevitably, a Legion of Doom: like the other books in this grouping, it's essential if you're any kind of regular DC reader.
Deathstroke #32 — Writer: Christopher Priest; Pencils: Carlo Pagulayan and Roberto Viacara; Breakdowns: Larry Hama; Inks: Jason Paz; Colors: Jeromy Cox
The Unexpected #1 — Writer: Steve Orlando; Pencils: Ryan Sook and Cary Nord; Inks: Mick Gray and Wade von Grawbadger; Colors: FCO Plascencia
The Curse of Brimstone #3 — Writer: Justin Jordan; Art: Philip Tan; Colors: Rain Beredo
Deathstroke could have been in that previous grouping, too, since it's in the middle of a big Deathstroke/Batman six-part fight, involving a possible bombshell: that Damian Wayne is actually the child of Talia Al Ghul and Slade Wilson. Of course, with two such brainy and obsessively-prepared adversaries (not to mention writer Christopher Priest, who's known for his dense, twisty plotting), there are so many moves, counter-moves, triple-crosses, switchbacks and reversals that, with three issues still to go, there's no telling where things will eventually end up — which, of course, is a big part of the fun. The Unexpected's cover and title made me think it was going to involve a team-up of DC's magical/supernatural characters, but no such luck – it's part of their "New Age of Heroes" line, and has (a) decent-looking art covering (b) a bunch of characters you've never heard of, many of whom die, who are involved in a shadowy multiversal struggle that's been going on forever; if you liked the previous "NAofH" title, Immortal Men — well, this is pretty much the same thing. Curse of Brimstone is part of the same line, but, after three issues, has developed its own style: Philip Tan's dark-edged art was made for this tale of a small-town kid who gets tricked into a deal with a devil and ends up with supernatural-fire-fueled flame powers that will burn down the whole world if he isn't careful. Justin Jordan's script keeps its focus on the kid, his sister, the town, the devil and his assistant; it manages the trick of seeming to take enough time to make each plot development and relationship clear (the sister's function as a voice of reason is particularly good, although those types of characters usually end up with great big targets on their backs…), while still mixing in plenty of action; if you have a phobia about fire, this isn't your comic, but aspiring arsonists, and anyone else who appreciates flame-based effects, should like it just fine.
Sword Daughter #1 — Writer: Brian Wood; Art: Mack Chater; Colors: Jose Villarrubia
Death or Glory #2 — Writer: Rick Remender; Art/Colors: Bengal
Red Sonya/Tarzan #2 — Writer: Gail Simone; Art: Walter Geovani; Colors: Adriano Augusto
Koshchei the Deathless #6 (of 6) — Writer: Mike Mignola; Art: Ben Stenbeck; Colors: Dave Stewart
Strangers in Paradise XXV #4 (of 12) — Creator: Terry Moore
Sword Daughter is Brian Wood returning to the Norse world of the first millennium AD that he's covered extensively in Northlanders and, more recently, Black Road; it's about exactly what it says it is — a young girl and her father are the sole survivors of a slaughtered village; with the father's spirit shattered, the girl must take matters into her own hands — and if you liked those earlier works, with their extensive research and strong characterization, then you should like this too. Death or Glory is Rick Remender's new series, also about a girl trying to protect her father, but here he needs an extensive operation, they have no money, and she ends up trying a heist and getting entangled with corrupt sheriffs and human traffickers in, of all places, Yuma, Arizona; besides Remender's usual combination of action, suspense and humor, there's the Bengal art: his plastic manga style is just right for both the violence and the sharp-edged comedy, and a big reason why the first issue of this sold out. Red Sonya/Tarzan is worth a look because of writer Gail Simone, who manages to get the two title characters together thanks to their mutual desire for revenge against a time-travelling hunter/despot who's pure evil; watching Sonya deal with early-20th-century England is fun, as is the expanding backstory, doled out piece by piece as we need it, and the introduction of a very logical real-life character from that era to help deal with the sf/time displacement bits. Koshchei The Deathless, here in its final issue, is almost more of a Hellboy story than a Koshchi one — but, since it's written by Mike Mignola himself, that's all the more reason to check it out; it offers a bridge between Hellboy back in the real world with the B.P.R.D., as he is in current issues of their title, and in his previous residence in Hell, which is where he's been talking with Koshchei; if you're a fan of the Mignolaverse you ignore it at your peril. Strangers in Paradise continues Terry Moore's 25th-anniversary mini-series sequel to the comic that made his reputation. If you've read that earlier series, then you're already reading this one; if not, use it as a sampler, and when it hooks you go binge-read the trades that collect the hundred-plus issues of the original series before coming back to this one — it'll make more sense, and you'll have read a '90s series that's influenced many of today's creators.
