Not a lot has happened today really. Went on a 16km bike ride which was nicer than the previous bicycle run into town. Managed to find a much better route this time, avoiding several stop lights and other "non-bike friendly" areas. Other than that there isn't much news concerning bikes, and it's starting to cut fairly close right about now. I'll have to sort that out within the next few days.
For the moment I'm tired and sporting a slight headache for the first time in a long time, so I'm off to bed!

Q: Construir JSON a medida que se van agregando campos y valores a un formulario Tengo un formulario al que voy agregando campos que dependen de un select múltiple, y a la hora de agregar los valores a estos nuevos campos generados necesito ir construyendo un json que es el valor de un campo oculto que es el que pretendo enviar a la base de datos.
El resultado de dicho campo oculto lo voy generando en cada evento focus y blur en los campos de texto de los que recojo sus valores.
En parte funciona, pero sucede lo siguiente:

*

*focus -> Verifico si el valor actual existe en la lista, entonces lo elimino

*blur -> Agrego el valor a la lista

Si esto sucede dos veces en el mismo campo, en efecto el paso 1 funciona, pero el 2 me agrega ambos valores a la lista nuevamente, el antiguo y el nuevo. Ya llevo un día en esto y sigo dando vueltas y no encuentro la solución.
Este es el código que tengo:
data    = []
result  = []
parents = ["0"]
$(document).on('blur', '.adviser-percent', function(){
item        = $(this)
adviserID   = item.attr('data-adviser-id')
percent     = item.val()
parent      = item.parents('.access-level')
level       = parent.attr('data-level-number')
field       = parent.find('.level-number-id')

if (parents[0] != level){
    parents.fill(parent.attr('data-level-number'))
    data = []
}

result  = [ level ]
pair    = [ adviserID, percent ]

data.push(pair)

// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20997127/how-to-find-the-duplicates-in-a-javascript-multidimensional-array#answer-20997744
noDupes = data
.map(function (item) {
    return JSON.stringify(item);
})
.reduce(function (out, current) {
    if (out.indexOf(current) === -1) out.push(current);
    return out;
}, [])
.map(function (item) {
    return JSON.parse(item);
});

result.push(noDupes)
field.val(JSON.stringify(result))
})

$(document).on('focus', '.adviser-percent', function(){
item        = $(this)
adviserID   = item.attr('data-adviser-id')
percent     = item.val()
parent      = item.parents('.access-level')
level       = parent.attr('data-level-number')
field       = parent.find('.level-number-id')
fieldVal    = field.val()
array       = ( result[1] == null ) ? [] : result[1]

output      = [ level ]
pair        = [ adviserID, percent ]

var filtered = array.filter(function(value, index, arr){
    return JSON.stringify(value) !== JSON.stringify(pair)
})

output.push(filtered)
field.val(JSON.stringify(output))
})

Adjunto una imagen para que se tenga una idea más clara de lo que sucede

Edito:
No puedo usar la solución de enviar el input con nombre tipo arreglo porque no es un solo juego de inputs, pues tengo n niveles que el propio usuario va agregando, y dentro de cada nivel hay asesores que el usuario va agregando también y los campos se generan dinámicamente con jquery. ¿Cómo le digo a cada asesor a qué nivel pertenece?
nivel 1
    asesor 1, 5%
    asesor 2, 10%
nivel 2
    asesor 1, 7%
    asesor 2, 15%
    asesor n, 30%
nivel 3
    ...

Gracias de antemano

A: Problema resuelto, entre otras cosas, era la variable data la que estaba dando problemas, pues en cada focus, blur se adicionaban valores repetidos. Entonces se solucionó en el evento focus igualándola a filtered
data = filtered
Finalmente el código ha quedado de la siguiente manera:
data    = []
result  = []
parents = ["0"]

$(document).on('focus', '.adviser-percent', function(){
    item        = $(this)
    adviserID   = item.attr('data-adviser-id')
    percent     = item.val()
    parent      = item.parents('.access-level')
    level       = parent.attr('data-level-number')
    field       = parent.find('.level-data')
    fieldVal    = field.val()

    if ( fieldVal !== '' ){
        array = JSON.parse(fieldVal)[1]
    } else if ( result[1] == null ){
        array = []
    } else {
        array = result[1]
    }

    output      = [ level ]
    pair        = [ adviserID, percent ]

    var filtered = array.filter(function(value, index, arr){
        return JSON.stringify(value) !== JSON.stringify(pair)
    })

    output.push(filtered)
    var newData = data.filter(function(value, index, arr){
        return JSON.stringify(value) !== JSON.stringify(pair)
    })

    data = filtered //

    field.val(JSON.stringify(output))
})

$(document).on('blur', '.adviser-percent', function(){
    item        = $(this)
    adviserID   = item.attr('data-adviser-id')

    parent      = item.parents('.access-level')
    level       = parent.attr('data-level-number')
    field       = parent.find('.level-data')
    fieldVal    = field.val()

    if (parent.hasClass('level-real')){
        if (parents[0] != level){
            parents.fill(parent.attr('data-level-number'))
            if (array.length > 0){
                data = array

Walker extends Manchester City contract to 2024
Freedom Reporter
Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker, has signed a two-year extension to his current contract, the 2018/2019 English Premier League (EPL) champions announced on Wednesday.
The extension will keep him at the club until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
Walker, who was signed from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017 for a reported fee of 50 million pounds ($62.97 million), has won two league titles with the club.
This was after he established himself as manager Pep Guardiola's first-choice right-back.
"I'm thrilled to have signed a new deal," England international Walker said in a statement on City's website.
"Playing for Manchester City has been everything I'd hoped it would be and more.
"It was an easy decision. I want to be competing for trophies, playing at the highest level, and I feel I have improved hugely as a player during my time here."
The 29-year-old made 52 appearances in the last campaign as Manchester City won an unprecedented domestic treble, taking his personal trophy haul at the club to five in two seasons.
"His strength, speed and ability have been vital to our accomplishments," Manchester City's director of football Txiki Begiristain said. "He's a key member of the squad.
"His experience is invaluable, particularly to the younger members of the team, and his contribution will be crucial in our efforts for continued success."
Manchester City kick off their EPL title defence next season with an away trip to West Ham United on August 10.

Plaidophile: Prime Wardrobe: what the heck is the point?
Prime Wardrobe: what the heck is the point?
One thing that Amazon keeps on pushing is Prime Wardrobe, where they heavily advertise that with a Prime membership you can now try-before-you-buy and have 7 days to decide which things to keep. Which is already a bit silly because with normal Prime you already have something like 30 days to return a thing you don't want.
So you're paying more for the privilege of having a shorter return window? How the hell does that make any sense?
The only justification I can see for this is that with Wardrobe you aren't paying until after the 7 day period ends, but that's basically giving you 7 days of credit. Which is… not really a selling point? Especially when the credit card you're going to be putting it on already gives you a 30-day credit window?
How does this benefit anyone, except for Amazon's pocket?
And for them to sell this as a new feature that's an added bonus to Prime (presumably as part of Amazon's justification to keep raising the price of Prime because of all these new features that nobody even uses) is just an insult.
So anyway. If you shop at Amazon, don't assume they have your best interests at heart as a customer. They are transparently manipulating you into spending more money for literally nothing.

NextCasino Review
June 26, 2015 by Nina
NextCasino is one of several online casinos that runs a multi-software platform provided by EveryMatrix. It offers a huge array of games from many of the world's top casino game developers, mobile support, along with several live dealer tables. The casino is operated by Minotauro Media Ltd and is licensed by the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority. Should you give it a go?
Page Content:
Software and game selection
Banking and customer support
Bonus Wagering Requirements : 50
Most important bonus conditions
Minimum deposit to qualify for the welcome bonus is €20.
Wagering requirement on the bonus plus deposit is 50x.
NextCasino features a wide assortment of slots, table games, and video poker titles from the best software developers in the world. The site offers a very nicely designed lobby that allows you to quickly and efficiently find the game that you want to play. There are dozens of spectacular titles available from developers such as Net Entertainment, NextGen, Microgaming, and BetSoft Gaming. You will find that many of the slots are themed after popular franchises, with titles like Jurassic Park, South Park, Judge Dredd, and others making an appearance. A standard assortment of table games and video poker machines are also available, with a few variations thrown in to make the games a bit different from the standard fare.
Those who like to play for progressive jackpots will be pleased to see many of the big progressive games from Net Entertainment and Microgaming are available for play at NextCasino. This includes the likes of Mega Moolah, Arabian Nights, Mega Fortune, and Hall of Gods, all jackpots that have paid multi-million Euro prizes in the past. There are also many smaller prizes on offer on a variety of different progressive slots and table games. You can see the current jackpot values recorded by our jackpot tracker below on this page.
A live casino is also in place, with the casino offering Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, and Three Card Poker. The stakes begin at just €1 and go all the way up to €5,000 per hand. The tables are broadcast from a live dealer studio and feature a staff of very attractive dealers. There is also an automatic roulette game that completely cuts out any interaction if you just want to focus on the game.
If you are looking to play high quality casino games on your mobile device, NextCasino has a robust mobile platform that is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. There is no software download required for this, as the casino operates exclusively through your device's web browser. While you can't play all of NextCasino's games on your mobile devices, there is still a healthy amount of games that you can play including many of Net Entertainment and NextGen's newest slots.
Banking at NextCasino is very robust, with the casino offering several ways to deposit and withdraw money. These methods include credit cards, e-Wallet, and money wire, and there are several varieties of each out there for you to use. The casino has probably the widest currency support I have ever seen, with accounts able to be created in one of 24 different currencies.
Many of the withdrawal options are paid out very quickly, with Neteller and Skrill accounts generally credited in just a few hours, while other options may take up to 48 business hours to be paid out. You will have to supply identity documents at some stage, but it is disappointing to see that this is still done the old way via email rather than a secure encrypted upload.
Customer support is good, although I do not like the fact that you cannot get assistance over the telephone. Still, service is available through email and instant message, and staff is capable in providing help with bonuses, game rules, and small technical issues that may arise.
If you are looking for a great new site to play at, NextCasino should be near the top of your list. The casino has a wide array of slots and table games, and the live casino and mobile platform really show that this operator is serious about keeping with the latest trends. While I wish customer service was available over the phone I still found support and in particular the speed of withdrawal payments to be excellent.

This name derives from Old English (Anglo-Saxon) name "Æðelred", composed of two elements "æthel" (noble) plus "ræd" (advice). In turn the name means "noble counsel, well-advised". Æthelred the Unready, Æthelred II was king of England (978–1013 and 1014–1016). He was son of King Edgar and Queen Ælfthryth. Æthelred was only about 10 (no more than 13) when his half-brother Edward was murdered.


Only 6,9 and 12 have not been properly named or discovered yet.
I knew 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 and 11 but they were already answered. However I know 6 and 9.
I don't know 12 but seems a bit familiar.
EDIT: Fixed error (I said E2L4 but it was E3L4).
Am I hearing Duke grunting in this music video?
Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone! Have a happy new year, and keep on Dukein!
Which map is 12? I don't see anyone trying to take a guess on the last map and I also give up on trying to guess it. Before this game is left uncompleted, I'm bumping it.
Ah so it was one of the maps by Billy Boy. I only played (and finished) Dukem Memorial Hospital and I think I tried to play Clearwater a couple of times but don't remember if I finished it. I didn't really like his maps because they were very confusing and pretty difficult.
I don't expect anyone to get 13 hence the *.
I hate to take the easy ones, but 4 is WWII GI's E1M1 D Day, and 12 is Levelord's Sewer, or "The Sewers Below" as has been theorized is its full name.
Isn't 13 the Grand Library by Roi de Janeiro (The map that was posted on Megaton)?
So which are the remaining maps 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10?
I take a guess that 3 is one of the maps by Puritan, maybe from his Vermin Clearance episode. And I think 5 is Mincer City.
3 is a map with "Project" in its name.
Ah I reminded now, 3 is The Starlite Project. Thanks for the hint!
As for the Dukematch maps, thing is that I never played Dukematch outside of about 3 rounds on megaton 1-2 years ago, so I am not familiar with DM maps.
From MANSION!.MAP by an Unknown mapper. It's an old map from 1997.
Now it's a bit too late to ask but which were those 3 remaining DM maps from Lunick's screenshots?
Alright, thanks. Mind if you do another guess game?
He's so small, can I keep him as a pet?
So much for guessing 5. But I think I know what 3, and 9 are. I think 3 is Sludge Plunge by Mister Sinister, and 9 is Medieval Times by Michael Caraballo.

Tmunity Therapeutics, Inc. to Advance IND-Enabling Activities for Personalized Next-Generation Engineered T Cell Therapies with $10 Million Financing
Tmunity Therapeutics
Jan 12, 2016, 01:17 ET
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tmunity Therapeutics today announced that it is raising $10 Million in equity financing from Penn Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), and Lilly Asia Ventures, a premier venture capital firm focused on making investments in the life sciences sector. The financing will represent the first capital investment for Penn Medicine in a company co-founded by Penn faculty and researchers. The proceeds of the financing will be used to develop novel products to unleash the immunological potential of T cells to treat a wide range of diseases. Tmunity is developing novel T Cell Receptor (TCR) engineered T cells, regulatory T cells (Treg), and universal engineered T cell platforms that exhibit best-in-class control over T cell activation and direction in vivo. The company is also developing proprietary technologies to activate, expand, and genetically engineer T cells from peripheral blood, cord blood and tumors. These will rapidly advance toward the clinic personalized next-generation engineered T cell immunotherapies for cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune disease.
"The creation of Tmunity is the culmination of a more than decade-long commitment by Penn and our founding team to link basic and translational research with clinical trial investigation, and will ensure that we remain at the leading edge in advancing cell therapies for multiple diseases," said Carl H. June, MD, co-founder and chief scientific advisor of Tmunity Therapeutics. "Tmunity has pulled together all of the capabilities needed to quickly translate personalized next-generation T cell therapies from the bench to the bedside, including: best-in-class research capabilities, a proprietary manufacturing platform, and a founding team with a leading track record and nearly two decades of experience in executing safe and effective cell and gene therapy clinical trials."
Tmunity builds on the work of Penn's Center for Cellular Immunotherapies (CCI), which has over 15 years of specialized regulatory experience in initiating first in human cell and gene therapy trials, with 25 investigational new drug applications opened. Penn's CCI works with a network of clinical investigators trained to conduct high impact gene and cell therapy trials in many disease indications and with clinical operations teams that have set up and managed multi-site clinical trials across the United States. Tmunity's expertise in the advancement of novel therapeutics builds on this legacy of innovation and excellence in cell and gene therapy established by Tmunity's co-founders at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Many of Tmunity's scientific co-founders are affiliated with Penn's CCI and will engage with Tmunity as scientific advisors, including Carl H. June, MD, a T-cell therapy pioneer, who is also director of the CCI.

Set on idyllic Kepa Island just a short boat ride off the southwest coast of Alor, French-run La P'tite Kepa delivers on just about everything we look for in a remote hippy-chic beach getaway; we loved it so much we booked a second stay before we even left the first time.
In business almost 20 years, hosts Cedric and Anne run a welcoming place that, while diving focused, welcomes divers and non-divers alike. It's set on the north-facing shores of the island, so you can relax in a lazy chair (or hammock) and look out to sea towards Ternate while the sun sets in a fiery farewell behind the mountains of Pantar to the west.
Accommodation comes in three main flavours: traditional Alor bungalows (with shared-bathroom facilities), freestanding bungalows ideal for travelling couples, and two larger family houses that would comfortably sleep four. The set-up is all wooden, thatch and bamboo—don't expect too many straight edges, there will be gaps in the walls and the floors will creak as you walk through, especially in the traditional bungalows where much of the floor is split bamboo.
Shared bathrooms, and the bathrooms in the private rooms, are clean and well kept, but fittings are basic. There is little running water, just a saltwater bucket flush for the loo and a freshwater bucket for the shower. The island is a dry rock, meaning all fresh water is brought from nearby Alor, so you'll get a talk about being careful with how much water you use when you check-in.
We stayed in a traditional bungalow, which would work for two people, perhaps even three at a squeeze. The bed is upstairs and, as with all the beds, well mosquito-netted. The upstairs area has no windows, so it does get very dark and some may find it a bit warm or claustrophobic. You will bang your head. If you prefer, staff will move your bed downstairs and rig the net up there so you can sleep in the open air.
The freestanding bungalows are more traditionally formed and are mostly set a little back from the sea. They still enjoy scattered ocean views, both from inside and the deck areas. Beds are wood-framed with foldable mattresses and mosquito nets strung above. There are plenty of gaps, both between the rattan walls and the ceiling and, well, between just about every joint in the place. Expect some insects and perhaps other odd creepy-crawlies in the room.
The family bungalows are ideal for travelling families of four (they come with one double and two single beds, but these can be rearranged depending on demand). Essentially a larger version of the freestanding rooms, these are one large bedroom with a large private bathroom at rear and a super-sized balcony out the front. There are only two of these and they are extremely well placed to enjoy the ocean views.
La P'tite Kepa has picked up some of the family trade that has shifted from Kanawa Island in Flores (at it sadly continues to slowly fall apart); if you liked Kanawa, you will like it here. Reservations for these rooms in high season are essential. Light sleepers should note you'll hear every moment of the 4:30am call to prayer from the mosque in Alor Kecil—pack earplugs if this is likely to bother you.
While La P'tite Kepa doesn't consider itself to be a dive resort, most guests are divers—on our first stay we were one of only two guests who were not diving. If you are not planning on doing any diving, it's best to let them know when making a reservation. Snorkellers are welcome to join the dive boat (for a reasonable 100,000 rupiah per person) which runs daily for two dives a day. See their website for charges related to diving and snorkelling.
Primarily due to the currents, diving in this region of Indonesia is for divers at a more advanced level than what you may encounter elsewhere. La P'tite Kepa is not a dive school; they suggest having a minimum of 30 dives under your belt before getting underwater here. If you only learned recently, it would be a good idea to accumulate this number of dives before coming.
Rates may seem high at first glance, but they are full board—breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included, and are served at the same time in a communal setting at one long table in the restaurant area. There is no a la carte and no 2pm plates of French fries. Breakfast is very simple, while lunch and dinner are Indonesian fare and of a high standard. The food is hearty, and comes in very generous servings.
Coffee, tea and boiled water are free, other drinks are limited to icy beers, a couple of soft drinks and bottled water. The drinks are extra, but prices are reasonable given the location. Extra adults in a room (beyond two people) attract a charge of 225,000 rupiah, kids under 10, 150,000 rupiah.
There is no air-con nor fans; the resort is solar powered and you can charge electronic gear. A 3G signal is available on the island, though it can be a bit hit and miss.
We loved it here, but it isn't for everyone. If you're looking for mod-cons and really prefer a Western style bathroom, you might leave disappointed. As the resort is small, it can feel a bit cliquey depending on who is there, but there is nothing else like it in this price range in the area—we liked it a lot.
If you're looking for something more affordable (and more basic), consider Hirang Bungalows, a two-hour boat ride to the south of Kalabahi (it was unfortunately closed while we were in the area). If you're looking for something more high end, with a matching price tag, consider the Alor Divers Resort on Pantar. There is also a homestay on Kepa Island, with a clutch of lumbung-styled rooms facing Alor Kecil, but it was not open for business when we visited.

Resolutie 1629 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd unaniem door de VN-Veiligheidsraad aangenomen op 30 september 2005. De resolutie stond toe dat de Belgische rechter Christine Van Den Wyngaert in het Joegoslaviëtribunaal op een zaak werd gezet voor de aanvang van haar ambtstermijn.

Achtergrond

In 1980 overleed de Joegoslavische leider Josip Broz Tito, die decennialang de bindende kracht was geweest tussen de zes deelstaten van het land. Na zijn dood kende het nationalisme een sterke opmars en in 1991 verklaarde Bosnië en Herzegovina zich onafhankelijk. De Servische minderheid in het land kwam hiertegen in opstand en begon een burgeroorlog, waarbij ze probeerden de Bosnische volkeren te scheiden. Tijdens die oorlog vonden massamoorden plaats waarbij tienduizenden mensen omkwamen. In 1993 werd het Joegoslaviëtribunaal opgericht, dat de oorlogsmisdaden die hadden plaatsgevonden moest berechten.

Inhoud
De Veiligheidsraad:
Neemt akte van de brief van de secretaris-generaal aan de raadsvoorzitter op 14 september.
Beslist dat, ondanks dat de ambtstermijn van rechter Christine Van Den Wyngaert pas op 17 november aanvangt, zij als permanente rechter aan de zaak Mrkšić, die al op 3 oktober aanvangt, wordt toegewezen.

New Interfaces Challenge Touch
By Nick Barber and Nick Barber
Director, Online Video, IDG News Service |
Touchscreens could be extinct if researchers pioneering new human-computer interfaces have anything to say about it. From brain-controlled machines to gesture-driven devices, there's a range of technologies in development that may find their way into everyday electronic devices.
Several conferences this year have given a great glimpse into innovative interfaces and what the future may hold.
Touchscreens are somewhat limited in giving feedback to a user. The screen may vibrate when tapped, but that's just about all it can do. At this year's Computer Human Interaction (CHI) conference in Vancouver in May, a researcher from the University of British Columbia showed a way to completely change the feeling of a screen, at times making it slippery and other times making it sticky.
The prototype screen has four actuators that shake the screen.
"This is actually the same technology used in many cell phones or other devices, but it runs at a higher frequency so you don't feel the vibration itself," said Vincent Levesque, who is a post-doctoral fellow. "It pushes your finger away from the piece of glass, a bit like an air hockey table."
Levesque's team had a demonstration set up with basic file folders on screen. When a folder is selected the screen becomes slippery. When it is dragged over another folder or the trash, the screen became sticky.
The prototype occupied a sizeable section of the table on which it sat. Wires protruded and circuit boards were visible, making it too bulky to integrate into any mobile devices. The system uses lasers to determine the position of the finger. As the team continues work on the project, it hopes to reduce the system's size and replace the lasers with a capacitive touchscreen.
At the CHI conference, university students and research groups dreamt up most of the projects on display and shared them with potential employers who could license the technology and invest in developing it.
Texas A&M University's Interface Ecology Lab favored gestures over touch, creating a gesture-controlled system called ZeroTouch. It looks like an empty picture frame and the edges are lined with a total of 256 infrared sensors pointing toward the center. The frame is connected to a computer and the computer to a digital projector.
"I like to consider it an optical force field," said Jonathan Moeller, a research assistant in the lab.
When the spiderweb of light created by the sensors is broken, the computer interprets the size and depth of the break and displays it as a brushstroke. If just a pencil breaks the beam, the brushstroke will be thin. If an entire arm or head breaks the beam, the stroke will be thick.
While painting on the digital canvas, users hold an iPhone on which they can select the color of the brush.
Drawing in the air is just a proof of concept. When ZeroTouch is placed over a traditional computer screen it becomes a touchscreen. Instead of creating brushstrokes, the system moves a cursor.
Moeller started working on the project in 2009. It was born out of research that used a projection screen and a camera. He said he thought the system was bulky and wanted to reduce its size.
He considers two-dimensional interaction just the beginning.
"You can stack layers [of ZeroTouch] together to get depth sensing," he said.
The system could then sense objects in a 3D space, but also allow users to hover over objects. Typically, hovering isn't available with touch systems because a finger would occlude what it's hovering over, he said.
If ZeroTouch becomes the new technology to create 3D objects, the Snowglobe project could provide a way to view and interact with them.
Snowglobe is a large acrylic ball that has an image projected on its inner walls from a hole in the bottom. Two Microsoft Kinect sensors are pointed at users and when they approach and move around the ball, the object on the inside follows them. If they stretch out their hands, their gestures can control the orientation and size of the object inside the globe. The image is cast by a 3D projector so wearing 3D glasses adds another dimension to the experience.
John Bolton, with the Human Media Lab at Queens University, came up with the idea, on show at CHI 2011, and had been working on it for two years.
"If we nest an object inside we can present all 360 degrees of that object if somebody walks around the display," Bolton explained. "So opposed to just sitting there with a mouse you can walk around and you're presented with the correct view as your position changes."
Bolton said that, as is true for many of the projects at CHI, there were no immediate plans for commercialization.

BUHARI IS A FUTURISTIC, VISIONARY LEADER ~ Masari
The Katsina state Governor, Rt. Hon. Dr. Aminu Bello Masari has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a futuristic and visionary leader. Katsina Media and Publicity reports that, Masari stated this during a courtesy call by "Buhari/Masari Sahu Ya Daidaita"; a political group led by Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Special Services, Alhaji Haruna Musa today at the Muhammadu Buhari House, the seat of Katsina State Government. The Governor assured Nigerians that President Muhammad Buhari had initiated various programmes and policies which in no distant future would take Nigeria to the next level. Masari used the occasion to announce that more packages would be unfolded in the state to make people of Katsina compete favourably with Nigerians in different fields of human endeavour. He assured members of Buhari-Masari Sahu Ya Daidaita that they had taken the right decision for assisting towards the re-election bid of both him and President Muhammad Buhari. Earlier, the founder of the movement and SSA Special Services, Alhaji Haruna Musa said the movement was set up to assist in the re-election of President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Aminu Masari 2019.

MASARI: ULAMA SHOULD PLAY THEIR ROLE IN EDUCATING PEOPLE ON QUALITIES OF LEADERS, LEADERSHIP
The Katsina state Governor, Rt. Hon. Aminu Bello Masari has stressed the need for the Ulama to preach for the emergence of good leadership in the country. Katsina Media and Publicity reports that Masari was speaking at the graduation of 190 students that memorized the Holy Qur'an at Madrasatul Daril Imam Litahafizil Qur'anil Karim, Unguwar Liman, Katsina. The Governor cited example with the effort made to choose a leader after prophet Muhammad (SAW), saying that the Sahabas voted for the next leader of the Ummah based on merit even though they are all sahabas. He said although the current contestants to the presidential seat are followers of the same faith, but the qualities differ, adding that the ulama needed to harp on the good leadership qualities of a candidate. Masari also took time to warn on the dangers of drug abuse and the serious effect of social media, especially as it relates to hate speech. He equally harped on the importance of both Islamic and western education, stressing that the ulama needed to champion the cause of education in the state. @katgovmedia reports that several speakers spoke on the history of the school, the performance of the students, the philanthropic assistance rendered to the school by both government and individuals among others.

UNCA senior studies abroad, becomes ISA ambassador
By Elizabeth Valenzuela – Staff Writer – [email protected]

Senior Gabrielle Whitmire, right, on a camel ride during her time abroad.
Gabrielle Whitmire, a senior at UNC Asheville, impulsively decided to study abroad a week before the deadline passed, but her rash decision led to her achievement of becoming a global ambassador for International Studies Abroad.
"ISA was a last resort, but a perk of the program is their last minute deadlines," Whitmire said.
Whitmire's goal while abroad was to travel to as many places as possible, and experience different cultures. This influenced her decision to study in Barcelona, Spain.
"It's easiest to travel out of because of their huge airport," Whitmire said.

Whitmire became an ambassador for the ISA program after her semester abroad.
She achieved her goal by traveling almost every weekend to places such as Italy, Ireland, Morocco, Southern France and by taking advantage of the weekend excursions provided by ISA.
Capri, Italy became Whitmire's best travel experience, and if she gets the chance to go back to Europe, Italy would be the place she would like to return to, she said.
"Italian culture is one of my favorites," Whitmire said.
Whitmire said she misses Italian culture because it surrounds food.
"You experience food, rather than treat it as a necessity," Whitmire said.
During her time in Spain, Whitmire lived with a host mother who would buy a fresh loaf of baked bread every morning. She enjoyed her home-stay because of the ability to be fully immersed within the Spanish culture.
Whitmire studied at Universidad Autonoma in Barcelona, taking upper-level business classes to fulfill her UNCA studies of business management.
Just three weeks before leaving for Spain, Whitmire met Ian Graham, who shortly became her boyfriend.
"I knew that she and I would become extremely familiar with the ins and outs of Skype," Graham said.
However, the distance only made their relationship grow stronger.
"During my senior baseball campaign at UNCA, she served as a strong support system for me, on and off the field. She tuned in to various games online, as well as stayed up late to congratulate me on a job well done," Graham said.
About a year after returning from Spain, the couple became happily engaged.
Upon Whitmire's arrival back to the United States, she kept in touch with ISA alumni through a monthly newsletter. She later interviewed for the global ambassador position, which she now serves as.
Through this position Whitmire has become the face of ISA and represents their program by connecting and relating with students who are thinking of becoming involved with the study abroad experience.
According to Diane Royer, administrative assistant, there aren't many students that do this.
"(Whitmire) is one and we had one other who was an ISEP ambassador, but that's it. Most of them stay in touch with us," Royer said.
Although Whitmire had the opportunity to do a lot of traveling, a semester was not enough time to go to all the places she would have liked. She did not get a chance to see the Swiss Alps or travel to Greece.
However, a semester was enough time for Whitmire to fall in love with the study abroad experience. According to her, it is something everyone should experience.
"It brings you out of your comfort zone, you learn more about yourself and you become more independent," Whitmire said. "It was my first time using public transportation."

Stepp Completes $12.55M Sale of Parc Regency in Winnetka
Stepp Commercial, a leading multifamily brokerage firm in the Los Angeles market, has completed the $12.55 million sale of Park Regency, a two-story 44-unit apartment property located at 7500 Mason Avenue in Winnetka, CA. The asset is located in the heart of San Fernando Valley's industrial hub, just eight minutes from the dynamic Warner Center, a mixed-use community consisting of 1,100 acres of residential, retail, entertainment, commercial office and manufacturing space.
Executive Vice President Darin Beebower of Stepp Commercial represented the seller and the buyer who are both Los Angeles-based private investors. The property sold for approximately $285,200 per unit and at a cap rate of 3.93 percent.
Built in 1984, Parc Regency includes 36 one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, two three-bedroom units and two studios and was 97 percent occupied at the close of escrow.
Community amenities include a large pool and lounge area, laundry facilities and remodeled lobby, leasing office, courtyard and hallways. The property also includes 82 gated subterranean parking spaces. Approximately 65 percent of the units were recently renovated with stainless steel appliances, new cabinet fronts and hardware, wood-grain plank flooring and ceiling fans, and a select few units also include quartz countertops, farmhouse sinks and marble backsplashes.
"With the acquisition of Park Regency, the buyer added the most attractive and recently improved asset in the neighborhood to its portfolio," said Beebower.
Over 14,000 people call Warner Center home, while another 45,000 arrive daily to their place of business. The Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan ambitiously proposes to add 14 million square feet of commercial space and 49,000 additional jobs. With the expansion of Warner Center, the entire Winnetka/Canoga Park area is transforming rapidly from a sleepier suburban submarket to an urban center to meet demands of the changing demographic. Within one mile of The Parc Regency, Westfield Topanga mall recently underwent a $70 million-dollar upscale, modern renovation, and is now anchored by Neiman-Marcus and Nordstrom, with over 350 high-end retail, dining and entertainment amenities.


Attach a rope to a pulley station set at about chest level.
Step back so you're supporting the weight with arms completely outstretched and assume a staggered (one foot forward) stance. Bend the knees slightly for a stable base.
Retract the scapulae (squeeze your partner's finger with your shoulder blades) and pull the center of the rope slightly up towards the face. A good cue is to think about pulling the ends of the rope apart, not just pulling back.
As you near your face, externally rotate so your knuckles are facing the ceiling.
Hold for one second at the top position and slowly lower.

Background: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is highly transmissible in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations. The dynamics governing its establishment and propensity towards fixation (reaching 100% frequency in the SARS-CoV-2 population) in communities remain unknown. In this work, we describe the dynamics of Omicron at three institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the greater Boston area.
Methods: We use diagnostic and variant-specifying molecular assays and epidemiological analytical approaches to describe the rapid dominance of Omicron following its introduction to three IHEs with asymptomatic surveillance programs.
Results: We show that the establishment of Omicron at IHEs precedes that of the state and region, and that the time to fixation is shorter at IHEs (9.5-12.5 days) than in the state (14.8 days) or region. We show that the trajectory of Omicron fixation among university employees resembles that of students, with a 2-3 day delay. Finally, we compare cycle threshold (Ct) values in Omicron vs. Delta variant cases on college campuses, and identify lower viral loads among college affiliates harboring Omicron infections.
Conclusions: We document the rapid takeover of the Omicron variant at IHEs, reaching near-fixation within the span of 9.5-12.5 days despite lower viral loads, on average, than the previously dominant Delta variant. These findings highlight the transmissibility of Omicron, its propensity to rapidly dominate small populations, and the ability of robust asymptomatic surveillance programs to offer early insights into the dynamics of pathogen arrival and spread.
Keywords: SARS-CoV-2; epidemiology; infectious disease surveillance.

The Dr. O. Carl Simonton Center is situated in a beautiful setting, resembling a resort. Outside Santa Barbara, California, the Center is part of the La Casa de Maria Retreat and Conference Center. The foothills of Montecito are quiet and relaxing, in a mild climate. Before joining others at the Retreat, the Simonton books Getting Well Again and The Healing Journey prepare cancer patients for the types of exercises and mental health processes which are covered.
For those like Jackalyn Rainosek who wish to become career counselors, the program offers an in-depth and personal experience in counseling patients and conducting patient counseling sessions. The Simonton Center certifies counselors for cancer patients in the precepts of cognitive behavior self-help therapy. Addressing emotional, cognitive, behavioral, social and spiritual aspects of cancer therapy, the counseling program is based on modern ideas as well as ancient teaching. The counseling techniques are easily applied to other applications where participants are facing life-threatening situations and critical diseases.
Counselors may be certified as Counseling Therapists, Supervising Therapists, and at the Teaching Therapist Level. Training and therapy are also available internationally, in Australia, France, Germany, Switzerland, Israel and Japan. The continuing availability of the Simonton Method in a variety of different venues and countries testifies to the therapeutic benefits of this unique cancer counseling therapy. Jackalyn Rainosek trained as a Simonton therapist and worked with many cancer patients in her early years of counseling experience, and it has served her well in her later career in humanist and transformational behavior work.

Every one of us who is a professional or aspiring actor has had those auditions where we just felt off. You can do everything perfectly in technical terms – rehearse, get a good night's sleep, get there early and be completely prepared – but nevertheless, it sometimes just doesn't feel right.
And at times it's hard to put your finger on exactly what the problem is; you just feel off-balance sometimes.
It happens. But one great way to at least minimize the chances of having an audition like that is to learn how to take control of the room.
That's easier said that done, of course! When you walk in to audition, you're basically there to ask for a job. So when it comes to power dynamics, all of our cultural training tells us we are supposed to be passive, that we are inherently smaller than everyone else there.
We are mentally trained to put ourselves in a position of begging.
So on the surface at least, it appears that the people behind the table have all the power, and thus you cede control to them from the first second you walk in, treating the casting team as if you were a puppy looking up at their master for instruction – waiting to be told you're a good boy or girl.
This is a common error that many, many up-and-coming actors make. But it's time to crush that training out and replace it with a new kind of training: training yourself to take control. Here's how!
The first step in taking control of the audition room comes with the first step, literally. When you walk in to that room, from the very first second you must show yourself to be the calm, confident, prepared, professional that you are. That entails looking people in the eye, projecting your voice as you greet them, and smiling. If you have to do a little acting in order to convey that kind of confidence at first, so be it. But keep in mind that there is a powerful, important lesson to be learned here for every actor: you are not auditioning to be a puppet, to be controlled by the whims of your puppeteer/director. You are auditioning to be a creator, part of a creative team that will collaborate as equals in crafting something out of nothing. That is a tall order, and one that requires your input; a good creative team carries no dead weight. They WANT you to show that you know what you're doing on your own, without a lot of hand-holding. And you can demonstrate that in the first few seconds you walk in. A good trick for confidently taking control of the room right off the bat is to flip the typical thinking: don't focus on whatever level of discomfort or nervousness you might be feeling, hoping for someone nice behind the table to make you feel all safe and comfy before you read. Instead, think of it as your first job to make THEM comfortable. Remember, casting directors are just people too. Auditions are a weird, unnatural situation on both sides of the table; both of you are meeting a new person and sharing intimate, emotional moments together – as actors and CDs must do, over and over throughout their careers, and which gets easier over time. But let's face it: it just isn't natural. So a neat mental trick is to think of yourself as an emcee when you walk in: think of it as your job to warm up the room, to get everyone relaxed and ready to see your work. This isn't to say you should launch into your five-minute set from Open Mic Night at the Chuckle Club. Just remember that confidence breeds confidence, and you want the CD to be confident in you before you ever even begin to read.
Tying in to self-confidence and taking control of the room is that you have to remember that when you walk in to the audition room, this is your space. Granted, it's a strange way to think at first; the casting team is all posted up behind the table with their laptops and lattes, chatting away as they make their way through their work day. It sure looks like their space! But no, it's true: when the actor walks in to the audition room, for your precious few minutes, this is your domain. You are the entire point of why that team is behind that table! Without you they'd be somewhere else. Stride in like that! Don't be arrogant, or kick open the door or take off your shoes or anything. But as you do your greetings and small talk as outlined above, even then you can be demonstrating your confidence and control of the room. Move the chair where you want it while you chat; if there isn't one out there already, ask for one. If you aren't sure about some aspect of the scene or the character, ask! CDs would much rather read a curious, thoughtful actor who has worked the scene and given it some thought and is engaged to the point that they want to know more. That's so, so much better than sitting through a stumbling, awkward read by an actor pretending to know more than he or she does because they were afraid to ask a question. Ask how to pronounce a name, or what a word means, or what an unclear reference in your lines is about. Not knowing and asking is not something to be ashamed of; on the contrary it shows the casting team that you're serious about this. You're not here to wing it. You're the actor who has done your research and you've familiarized yourself with the material, and you've given this thing a fair amount of thought. Even these rudimentary steps toward getting to know a character and a piece demonstrate a lot of dedication to harried CDs who hate to waste their precious time on unprofessional actors who walk in completely cold.
Literally, "let the good times roll," you can also apply this lovely New Orleans concept to taking control of auditioning – and to acting in general: have some fun! If you walk into the audition room as a scared little mouse, you are making the CD's work excruciating. You are making it WORK for them, and they are going to be nothing but relieved when you finally exit. If, however, you are having fun, they are more likely to have fun too. When you act a part we call it "playing" a role. You can take control of the room and set the tone when you walk into audition simply by insisting on having fun – and a playful, engaged, fun spirit is always going to win out over one that's terrified of making a mistake or looking foolish. We really are lucky people; we get to play for a living. Don't be afraid to act like you enjoy it!


It amazes me how many times in private conversations teachers will tell me about their extreme anxiety in dealing with situations that the most well-adjusted person would have difficulty coping with. I suggested to one such person that they take some time off to recover and get their health back. She said "I can't do that. If I take leave for mental health, I'll ruin my career within the district." I didn't think that was true, but that belief felt very real for her – and it is very real to many teachers.
This stigma makes many teachers suffer in silence.
Everyone who teaches knows how stressful it can be – so why the stigma? Why are we, as a profession, reluctant to name the issue and heal it in our selves and in the schools?
It is seen as a weakness to not be willing to deal with very real stress and dysfuction and affirm one's own wellbeing, but a strength to endure in silence in situations that lack any sense of wellness or health? A strength to go along with all that is wrong, a weakness to stand up for what is right?
Why do we accept stress as normal? Why do we resist finding a less stressful way to live?
This nonsense just makes it all the harder to deal with stress. It makes you feel isolated to begin with, feeling stigmatized prevents you from seeking help or connecting to people who also think the stress is ridiculous.
I always try to encourage people to not give into the stigma and stay silent. But to surround themselves with supportive people, make a case for their wellbeing and pursue their right to heal from stress.
Job stress takes up a big part of life – how do you want to be living your life?
Yesterday I had plans to do 12 sun salutations when I woke up, go to work, come home and go for a walk to enjoy the warm, sunny day. That would be followed by making dinner and lunch for tomorrow, call a friend to make plans, prepare a workshop, prepare some applications for courses, update this blog, and about 6 other items on my ever-growing to-do list, finished of with a half hour of yoga.
I managed to wake up, go to work, take a short walk, eat dinner, call a friend (who wasn't even home – so that cut down on time used up!) and research some applications. I felt frazzled – because I hadn't accomplished anything that I felt I really needed to. Then I felt cruddy – because I hadn't completed my list. Then I felt guilty – because I don't even have toddlers to care for and I still couldn't get much done so early in the week. Then I felt cruddy again – because if I really were a superwoman I'd have toddlers – or atleast a cat.
But I did manage to sit in meditation for 5 short minutes – just long enough to quell the growing anxiety in my chest. In that quiet, I asked myself: who am I competing with that I have this anxiety about having it all together?
We are fed this socially air-brushed ideal of what our daily life should look like. We should all be happily married, economically secure, accomplishing everything in an organized and optimized fashion, eathing perfectly balanced meals, and filling our day with perfectly balanced activities and goals, and of course looking quite perfect as well with no interruptions, dramas, or emotional reactions to anything or anyone.
If that's not the photo of our daily life, we must be doing something wrong. Or so we're led to believe.
Real people develop real character and life experience for the very reason that their life isn't airbrushed. It's brushing up against imperfection that gives us our wisdom, strength, compassion, stories and laugh lines.
Give yourself a break. You don't have to do everything, and you don't have to do it perfectly. No one is watching. No one is going to evalute you. Do the work that takes care of you and those you have in your care. The rest of the to-do list will get done – you know it will. Commit to not doing it with anxiety. Every morning and evening I light a candle, do some relaxing breaths, remember what is important to me, what I'd like to accomplish, what I need and what I am grateful for. Sometimes all I can manage is 2 minutes, sometimes I have time for a 30 minute meditation. The point is that it calms my centre, refocuses me on what is important and what isn't. The calm beginning and end to my day assures me that everything will be ok, that I'm doing fine.
In the fashion world air-brushing has been exposed for the unrealistic expectation-maker that it is. Jessica Simpson is celebrated on the cover of this issue of Marie-Claire sans make-up or retouching. We should keep in mind to not try to live up to air-brushed expectations of daily living as well.

The Race of Time: Three Lectures on Renaissance Historiography
Herschel Baker
Series: Alexander Lectures
https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3138/j.ctt15jvxfr
The Race of Time
Professor Baker recounts and analyses the relations of the English Renaissance historians to other writers of their time and to the historians of later ages.
H.B.
the Truth of history
History, as a form of writing, was esteemed so highly in the English Renaissance that Sir Philip Sidney's comments on the subject almost take us by surprise. To be sure, he was not so blunt as Doctor Johnson, who deplored the historian's "shallow stream of thought" and compared his talent for "reflection" to a cat's when she is about to seize a mouse,¹ but he viewed the subject with urbane contempt, and inAn Apology for Poetryits spokesman is depicted as an object of derision. Pompous and assertive, this man is shown to be a fusty pedant "loden with...
the Use of history
If, as we have seen, one main prop of history as a form of writing was, or was supposed to be, its truth, another was its value as instruction. When John Stow, perhaps the ablest and most indefatigable of Elizabethan chroniclers, came to assess his work of almost forty years he was proudest of its pedagogic function. It was as hard for a reader of history to be "without some colours of wisedome, invitements to vertue, and loathing of naughty facts" he said in retrospect, "as it is for a well favoured man to walke up and downe in the...
the Form of history
Earlier in this series we attempted to survey some of those assumptions felt as facts, as Mr. Whitehead used to say, to which most Renaissance historians subscribed. It now remains to go behind the wellrubbed slogans in order to determine their relation to the style and form of history, to note some transformations in the historian's own conception of his methods and procedure, and to indicate, perhaps, the slow beginnings of reform.
If disaffection is essential to reform it would seem that most historians in the later Renaissance were ripe for change and innovation, for they almost unanimously viewed their...


Today I played against Hans, who wanted to try out his new Skorne list. This list is his planned Cygnar drop, with some good anti-shooting tech.
Hans also has a blog!
Still on the same list.
Zaadesh is Skorne's control caster. With Countercharge, Defensive Strike, and a virtually unkillable caster, it has a lot of denial.
I win the die roll and elect to claim the board.
Sac Pawn to the Sentinel makes Zaadesh practically immune to shooting, so Caine assassinations are off the table. I decide to deploy to try to deny the right zone with the Centurion, while putting Caine2 and all my punch in the left zone. From other games I have learnt that keeping Caine fairly central is a good idea. I am not confident I can get a scenario win anyway, so my main plan will be to try to attrition him to death.
Trenchers get Heightened Reflexes, Caine takes Bullet Dodger, and Rangers get Stealth. Lances get Arcane Shield. Caine charges forward and everything else runs up.
Zaadesh moves up and clouds. The Aradus Sentinel shoots at the Lances and kills one.
The cloud wall prevents me from charging, but since I vastly out-threat his heavies and he moved rather passively, I decide to just wait with my left flank Lances.
The Soulwards are dangerous and I want them gone. Between a Hunter shot and some Trick Shots they both die, together with the Gobbers and a Beast Handler. Since he has almost no shooting now it seems sensible to use the Trenchers to jam. I do some charges and assault shots and kill a couple of Karax.
Clearing the Trenchers is annoying. Zaadesh kills a few of them, unjams the heavies, and toes a heavy into each zone. Zaadesh feats.
Lances get Tough. Ragman moves up, Caine2 feats. Tiberion smacks the Firefly and does a lot of damage, but no systems crippled. I remove Tiberion, take half the boxes from the Sentry, and Caine trick shots away all the remaining Beast Handlers. Caine is camping zero, which is too aggressive. I should have 1 to avoid getting single shotted by the Sentinel.
I made another mistake here. Junior is too far away to apply Arcane Shield on the Centurion, which I should have transferred this turn.
The sentinel misses. He needed an 11+ on 3D6 and then 15+ on 4D6, which is a 20% chance to kill me. Camping one focus would bring the chance down to a more acceptable 3%.
The Sentry kills a Lance, and the Gladiator rolls low and scratches the paint on the Centurion. This is looking good!
Time to force the issue. I clear the left zone and camp 1. Rhupert uses Mist on Caine to get his DEF up to 19.
Hans' Scarabs frenzy this turn. Hans realizes he cannot contest the left zone which will give me an automatic win. His only chance is to kill Caine now. Zaadesh clears a spot for the Sentinel, but the free strike hits hard and the Sentinel loses its Mind.
Unable to boost, he cannot kill me no matter what, and I must get 4 more points.
We talked over the battle and agreed that Hans was playing too passive. If he had pushed up further, I would not have gotten such good pressure. Also Zaadesh is unkillable at range. Usually it makes sense for most casters to stay 19" away from Caine, but Zaadesh is one of the casters that can just go straight in Caine's face.
Also, Skorne needs a buff badly. His models seem way overcosted. Tibbers at 22 points? He is not much stronger than my Centurion which costs 17. 14 points for pillow-fisted melee heavies? Mine hit harder for 12.
Crossing my fingers that PP fixes Skorne in January!


The 20-year-old trio features Rev Hank on surf guitar, Crash Flagg on surf bass, and Inky on traps. They are officially the longest running surf band in Canada!
URBAN SURF KINGS have 13 releases to date, including their November 2014 seven-inch ep, Penguin or Robot?. All of their previous CDs & 45s have charted on campus/community radio across Canada, and the US.

I Read Them for the Plot!
by rodney.
You just know that anything from a publisher called Plotless Comics is going to be interesting, right? Well that's the home of Walrus-Rabbit, created by Matt Marchetti (the actual title is much much longer but we'll leave it at that), and SadoCat, created by Cory Patten. Needless to say things are not very serious but are very very strange in these funny animal superhero comics. Read all about these characters and more at their Plotless web site.

Never Fear
After a rather disastrous live action movie (which they had nothing to do with!), American Mythology Comics have decided that Underdog deserves a new coat of paint — and a new comic book series all his own. Created in 1964 by W. Watts Biggers for Total Television, the original Underdog animated series told the story of an anthro dog (known only as "Shoeshine Boy") who had the secret ability to transform into the flying caped crime-fighter known as Underdog. Now, many years later, American Mythology present the new full-color comic written by Batton Lash and illustrated by Bill Galvan. It's hitting the shelves this month, and Previews World has an interview with the creators.

Ruh Roh…
Things get decidedly more anthropomorphic in issue #18 of Scooby Doo Team Up from DC Comics: "Can it be? The entire universe threatened by the spectral spirit of Canis Major, the dog star? To get to the bottom of the space-spanning mystery, canine crimebuster Scooby will have to team up with some of DC's greatest dog heroes, including old friends Krypto and Ace the Bat-Hound, plus G'Nort, Wonder Dog, and the Space Canine Patrol Agency!" Woof. Have a look at it on-line over at Read Comics.

Who Gets Stuck With A Superhero's Luck?
IDW Publishing take Disney Comics to a whole new place with the first (#0) full-color issue of Duck Avenger. "It's the start of a most-wanted Disney superhero epic! When Scrooge McDuck buys mysterious, ultra-hi-tech Ducklair Tower, Donald sneaks onto a forgotten floor — and as Duck Avenger, finds an amazing AI sending him into a breathless space alien battle!" It seems that Duck Avenger (written by Alessandro Sisti and Ezio Sisto, with art by Alberto Lavoradori) has been a phenomenon in Europe for some time. Now Jonathan Gray has helpfully adapted it for North American audiences. Issue #0 is out now, and IDW has more on issue #1, hitting stores later this month.

Cartoons? Stick 'em On!
Decalzilla is an art project and on-line store created in 2010 by two artists named Jon and Courtney. No prizes for guessing: They create custom hand-made vinyl decals in a variety of designs and colors. Comic book stuff, anime, and yes lots of cartoons (including cartoon animals!) find there way into the works you find at Decalzilla.com. All of them original designs, mind you, not just copies of official artwork. Based out of Southern California, they travel to anime and comic conventions all around — and they're hoping to expand their circle into other parts of the country and even internationally as well.

More Monkeys in Spandex!
(Hmm, lots of exclamation points this week. Must be more stuff from Comic Con!) Loter Studios is the creation of John Loter and his wife Shelley Loter, both of whom worked for years as Creative Directors at Disney Consumer Products. They continue to consult for Disney (and assorted animation companies) on t-shirts and other merchandising, but since 2005 they have also been creating their own line of original products based on original characters. Just this year, that expanded to include their very first full-color comic book: Supa-Rillas, created with the help of John's brother, animation director Steve Loter (Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long). Simian superheroes out to save the world — all for bananas. Check out the web site to see more of what they've worked on.

One, Two! Monkey Punch Through!
"A burnt-out boxer named 'Knuckles' is being tracked by the Mexican mafia, but when Thunder Monkey arrives, whose side will Knuckles choose? Everyone wants to know who Thunder Monkey is, and what is his original power!" After a a successful Kickstarter campaign, creator Lee Oaks presents the first black & white issue of Thunder Monkey, published by Dream Bug Productions. So who IS this super-powered simian and what does he seek in Summercity? Find out by checking out the latest issue over at Atomic Avenue.

Kitties of Justice!
We almost let this pass us by. Betsy Bauer is an illustrator who's worked in animation for some time (on projects like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2) as well as illustrated children's books. But her latest project is… dumb. Or at least she says so. It's called Super Dumb Coloring Book of Super Dumb Cats, and it's a collection of dumb superhero puns — with cats. (Look, these are her words, not ours! Honest!) Join Catman, Sailor Mewn, and I-Yarn Man (!) and all the rest — and add some color to their lives. You can find this black & white (obviously) paperback at Amazon, Stuart Ng Books, and Gallery Nucleus.

She's a Superhero. Dad's an Ape.
Sometimes things are described in a very straightforward manner: "The Adventures of Aero-Girl. It's the story of a young jet-pack wearing sidekick who must not only deal with the death of her father & mentor, but also that his powers (and her destiny) have been transferred to a silverback gorilla." It's also a new self-published 4-issue comic book miniseries, written by DeWayne Feenstra and illustrated in full color by Axur Eneas and Juan Pablo Riebeling. After a successful Kickstarter campaign this summer the first issue is available now, so check it out over at Fan Girls Are We.

Q: Most efficient way to modify xml I'm writing an app that needs to modify xml documents.  More precisely it need to add attributes and add/delete nodes.  These documents are relatively small, 30-50K at most.  From what I'm reading the best way to read XML is use the SAX parser, but does that apply to modifying XML as well?  The DOM parser seems to be the easiest to manipulate XML with, but, obviously, uses more battery and memory.
Just looking for the most efficient way (uses the least battery/memory) to manipulate XML on an Android device.

A: I suggest XOM - It is very memory efficient and support dual streaming/tree-based API.

A: The most efficient way to modify XML is to use VTD-XML(http://vtd-xml.sf.net)...it is the only way to do so called incremental update..
