After a long and self-indulgent break, the Spendology category is pleased to get off the recliner and return to the turf of BreakAway. And thus ends the good news—and the party. Because we are here to predict that the U$A is exactly two years away (or less, maybe much) from the next recession. Duh.
Stick to your plan, of course. If you have one. But if you're like most Merrkuns, you don't. Even worse, a recent LAT article made a painfully compelling case that most of us have not improved our fiscal fitness since armpit of the last downturn. Yep, despite the longest uptick in our history, our national personal debt has actually risen…from $12.7 to $13.3 trillion.
Last spring, CNBC reported that 1/3 of Americans have less than $5k saved for retirement, while 78% are "extremely" or "somewhat" concerned about having enough for their golden years. Naturally, we're all also getting older. Meantime, youngsters are afraid of making babies and our "leaders" are afraid of immigrants. So, absent willing & able taxpayers, the next bust could be particularly painful on our aging populace (and bodies).
Let's not even go into the recent tax cuts that may ultimately benefit only certain lucky citizens certain large corporations. Meanwhile, our government will go wa-a-a-ay deeper into debt. It's the American Way, right?
Later, many of them kids can't afford a house and are missing that rare boom moment. Rents soar, while wages stagnate like a draining swamp. "Fintech" loans have created a new way to float billions that, when the levee breaks, we have no idea who will sink and who will swim.
Speaking of sinking, remember in winter of 2009 when the S&P 500 hit an epic low of 6,443? You don't? Good for you. Even better for you is if you bought (or at least held) in the 9 ½ years since—because you've nearly quadrupled your money! In record time!
All to say…Buy low/get high applies. Right here and now is a GREAT moment to consider cashing out some gains and taking a sabbatical. Skip the second property. Punt the Porsche or vintage Pinto. Or if you're like most folks and are still watching and waiting to get your financial act together, you may as well go anyhow.
What are you waiting for? The biggest boom in the history of Our Great Nation? Bummer if you missed it. Awesome if your ship came in.
Either way, it's a good time to ship out. Winter is coming. Again. You ain't getting any younger. It'd be a dirty rotten shame if your dreams died before you do.

by Yvonna
Estonian Marcel Johannes Kits is the winner of the Enescu Competition 2018, after a Final where he performed the Cello Concerto No. 1 in E flat major op. 107 by Dmitri Shostakovich. Yibai Chen (China) ranked second, while Stanislas Kim (France) and Shizuka Mitsui (Japan) ranked, respectively, third and fourth.
Marcel Johannes Kits from Estonia, aged 23, won on Tuesday night the First Prize of the Cello Section at the George Enescu International Competition 2018. For the end of the Cello Final he performed the Cello Concerto No 1. in E flat minor op. 107 by Dmitri Shostakovich, accompanied by the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of conductor Paul Watkins. The second prize went to Yibai Chen (China), the third prize went to Stanislas Kim (France) and the fourth prize to Shizuka Mitsui (Japan).
First prize of the George Enescu International Competition 2018 amounts to EUR 15,000, second prize is EUR 10,000, and the third prize is EUR 5,000. Moreover, the winner of the Enescu Competition 2018 has the chance to perform on the stage of the Enescu Festival, together with some of the most important orchestras of the world. The trophy of the Enescu Competition 2018, offered to the four young artists, is made of porcelain by artist Daniela Făiniș.
The Prize for the best piano accompanist – for George Enescu's Cello Sonata – valuing EUR 4,000 went to pianist Yu Nitahara.
David Geringas, President of the Jury, offered also a special prize consisting of a scholarship at Blackmore International Music Academy in Berlin and Vienna. Moreover, conductor Paul Watkins offered the winner Marcel Johannes Kits the possibility to perform together on an international stage next year.
For the first time in the history of the Enescu Competition, the jury has decided that four young musicians enter the Cello Section Final, instead of three as it was previously decided.

Gouton has had "an incredible mentor influence" for him in the years spent at the Trossingen University of Music. Marcel is a laureate of the International "Dombrovsky" Competition and the "Johannes Brahms" Competition.
Organized as a stand-alone event since the 2014 edition, "George Enescu" International Competition invites the audience to discover some of the most talented young artists today, great names of tomorrow's classical music, and to follow and support their journey to the top: winning the competition.

How Ja Morant's offseason 'work in the shadows' is shaping the NBA's budding superstar
Krysten Peek
November 23, 2021, 2:03 PM ·6 min read
SALT LAKE CITY — Memphis Grizzlies third-year guard Ja Morant was back with a new mindset after a series of disappointments.
In a back-and-forth game Monday, the young Grizzlies squad held the ball down by two when Morant found Jaren Jackson Jr. at the 3-point line, and the 6-foot-11 forward drained the winning shot that silenced the Utah Jazz's home crowd. Morant led the team in scoring with 32 points and dished out seven assists.
"This was a big-time win for us," Morant told Yahoo Sports. "We really fought throughout the game, and now we know how we need to play every single time we face a tough team with a lot of scorers on the floor. Especially how things ended last season, this was a win we really wanted."
In June, Morant walked out of Vivint Arena disappointed after his first playoff appearance.
He finished his final game of the season with 27 points and 11 assists as the Jazz advanced to the Western Conference semifinals. In Game 2 of the series, Morant put up an impressive 47 points, the most in NBA playoff history by a player age 21 or younger.
It was just the start in Morant's budding career, but the first taste of the playoffs stung. It was time to get back to work.
"He knew after that series, right then and there, that he wanted more," Morant's trainer, Trey Draper, told Yahoo Sports. "This offseason, he got with us and just said, 'We're going into a dark mode. We're not going to record anything. We're just going to put the work in, and everything will come to light when the season starts.'"
Morant adopted the phrase "Welcome to the dark" and molded his offseason transformation off the mantra. It's something he's carried into the season.
A post shared by 12 🥷🏽🖤 (@jamorant)
"It pretty much represents my lifestyle, just always being in the shadows and working," Morant said. "I put a lot of work in that people don't see, and now it's just time to show everyone the work on the court."
Morant opened up his third season with a bang. It only took him three games to put up his first double-double — 40 points and 10 assists against a healthy Los Angeles Lakers squad. Morant was the best player on the court against a team with multiple future Hall of Famers.
Even all-time great Magic Johnson chimed in and called Morant, "without a doubt, one of the best point guards in the NBA." Teammate Desmond Bane added postgame, "That's our leader, that's our guy. He's going to be an All-Star, probably All-NBA player."
Ja Morant in mix of 'next one up' conversation
At age 33, Steph Curry is on an MVP pace this season, leading the NBA in 3-pointers with 86 (that's more than five made threes per game). LeBron James, 36, is in his 19th season, still averaging more than 20 points per game in 35 minutes on the court. And Kevin Durant, 33, is leading the league in scoring and points per game.
As each season passes, the question of "next one up" creeps into the minds of NBA fans. Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell have all showed glimpses of greatness early in their careers, and it's now time to make the case for Morant.

At just 22 years old and only 6-foot-3, Morant is currently leading the NBA in points in the paint.
In a game that values length, size and 3-point shooting at the guard position, Morant is doing something no other guard has ever done in the NBA. Ever.
According to ESPN's Kirk Goldsberry, the only players this century to average more paint production per game are Shaquille O'Neal, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson. Morant is also currently the youngest player in the top-10 scorers in the NBA, averaging 25 points and seven assists per game, and has improved every stat line from last season.
"We already knew he could do the things he's doing because we saw him do it at the college level where he averaged 25 points per game," Draper said. "But to see him do it at this level three seasons in, I think he's surprising a lot of people."
Morant is a pass-first point guard who wants to get downhill and either create for others or finish at the rim. There have been times early this season where opponents have backed off and given Morant space to shoot the three; the difference this season is he's actually shooting them, and shooting with confidence.
Morant attempted 10 3-pointers and connected on three of them in the win over the Jazz, but the ones he did miss weren't bad misses. Once Morant adds a 3-point jumpshot to his arsenal, he'll be unstoppable.
"I put in the work," Morant said. "I know I've put in the work so I'm confident going into every shot, make or miss. I know that if I get another open look, you better believe I'm going to let it fly. Coach just says to me, 'Next shot, next play, stay aggressive.' I know he's going to say it, so I don't even look for him to say anything anymore."

Along with his confidence in his shot, there's a strong leadership presence from Morant on the court. When he's aggressive, the whole team shifts slightly and picks up the tempo. Having a player like Morant on the court draws a lot of attention from the defense and opens up spacing for his teammates.
"Our guys will say, 'We go as Ja goes,' " head coach Taylor Jenkins said before the game. "He's definitely a tone-setter for us in so many different ways and the pace he plays and his movement setting up his teammates is phenomenal. But now it's the conversations he's having with his teammates and it's the same conversation I'm having with you about our resiliency, fight and competitive edge and he's taken it upon his shoulders."
There have been early comparisons to Derrick Rose during his prime MVP years with his shiftiness around the rim and speed in the open court. During age-22 season in 2011, Rose was named the youngest MVP in NBA history. He was in his third season and averaged 25 points and 7.5 assists per game, similar to the way Morant is starting his third season.
"I definitely see the comparisons, but D-Rose is one of a kind and one special player and you can see the similarities, sure, but there can never be another Derrick Rose," Morant said. "I'm just trying to be my own player and do what I do on the floor and help my teams win basketball games and continue to get better."
With all the star power still dominating the league, it's going to be an uphill battle to win MVP this season, but Morant's time could come sooner than expected. The way Morant continues to play early in his career is proving to be just the beginning for the NBA's upcoming superstar.

You may be surprised to learn that Alzheimer's is the fourth leading cause of death for African Americans, but only the sixth leading cause of death among whites. It is also often referred to as a "Silent Epidemic" among African Americans, due largely in part to an unwillingness to fully acknowledge and openly discuss the disease, which can lead to delayed medical care and caregiver burnout of family members attempting to bear the burden alone.
"In our community, you don't talk about it. By the time it is clear something is wrong, you are two to three years in. The things you could have done to prepare family financially and emotionally don't happen until you are in the late stages", said Rushern Baker III in a recent article published in USA Today. He began noticing changes in his wife, Christa, in her late 40s. Now 58 years old, Christa is unable to walk, talk, or eat unassisted. Mr. Baker admitted that he was afraid of what people would say, and eventually stopped bringing his wife to church to avoid uncomfortable questions.
The cultural differences in how the diagnosis is handled are beginning to change, but we have a long way to go before it can truly come out of the shadows earlier in the disease process.
Another factor is related to the increased prevalence of certain vascular-related medical conditions and diseases among African Americans. Hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high cholesterol, among other diseases, are seen in greater numbers among African Americans. Poor midlife vascular health is widely believed to be linked to dementia, so the significance of the connection between increased vascular disease and a greater likelihood for developing Alzheimer's disease in this population cannot be understated.
By 2030, the African American population age 65 and older will increase by 114% which suggests an exponential growth in Alzheimer's diagnoses among this community is coming. It is imperative that we address the disproportionate prevalence of so many risk factors on this population before it is too late. While we're beginning to see a shift in the cultural awareness and acknowledgment of the disease among African Americans, the need for more research is urgent and long overdue.

«Бру́хас» (, «Ведьмы») — бывший коста-риканский футбольный клуб из города .

История
Клуб был основан в 2004 году под названием «Брухас де Эскасу» (Brujas de Escazú) и базировался в городе Эскасу. Эскасу известен как «Город ведьм» (Ciudad de las Brujas), отчего и произошло название клуба. Уже в следующем году клубу удалось пригласить на пост главного тренера известного колумбийского специалиста Карлоса Рестрепо, до этого уже успешно работавшего в Коста-Рике. Достаточно быстро «Брухас» стал одним самых популярных футбольных клубов в стране, а его цвета защищали многие футболисты, входившие в сборную Коста-Рики. В 2007 году Рестрепо заменил Маурисио Райт, выступавший за сборную Коста-Рики на Чемпионате мира 2002.

Летом 2007 года клуб переместился в город Десампарадос и был переименован в «Брухас» (Brujas F.C.). В сезоне Зима 2009 клуб стал чемпионом страны, обыграв в финале «Пунтаренас». Это стало верхом достижений клуба. В следующем сезоне игра клуба ухудшилась. «Брухас» также потерпел унизительное поражение в первом же туре от тринидадского «Джо Паблик», выбившим его из Лиги чемпионов КОНКАКАФ 2010/11.

В январе 2011 года, президент и спонсор клуба Минор Варгас был арестован в США за экономическое мошенничество и отмывание денег и был осуждён на шестьдесят лет тюрьмы.

В 2011 году франшиза клуба «Брухас» была выкуплена клубом второго дивизиона «» (Orión F.C.), а сам «Брухас» был расформирован.

Stripburger » Ivana Armanini – Technology to the People!
It happens more and more often that we end up interviewing people for whom it is harder to say that they are purely and simply comic strip artists. Nowadays more and more cartoonists are fighting for their daily bread on several fronts at the same time. Some take up photography, others do animation or illustration, some certainly opt for procrastination… while Ivana is doing all this and more! She hails from Croatia but these days she manages her Komikaze project from her current hideout in Ljubljana. We took the opportunity to catch up with her for an interview before she slips away again.
Boring her with questions was Albahari.
How did your engagement with comics begin? When did you first make their acquaintance, which comics did you read at the time and which authors have influenced you the most?
Comics happened to me quite late in life, a few years after the completion of my academic studies. I was restoring a building; my then coworker was a passionate collector. He used to bring comics with him to work and we'd spend our lunch breaks leafing through them, dangling our feet from a ten-metre scaffolding. That's how I gained a whole new perspective. It seems to me that it was precisely while reading Emil Jurcan's fanzine Total Zero in A5-format that I was hit by the fatal arrow. It was love at first sight. Much later I met the author in person and was surprised because, instead of the expected old bearded misanthrope, I was faced by a smiling young man from Pula with a backpack and a sparkle in his eyes. When he drew Zero, he was still in high school; he funded the printing from his lunch pocket money.
We read about you in Fibra's anthology of female comics in the Balkans. Do you feel like a woman comics artist or simply as someone who makes comics? Is there such a thing as "female comics" and has gender any connection with comics at all?
I don't think there is anything like that. There are such things as team power and methods to develop a scene that bring to the surface something that is itself prone to self-concealment and make it identifiable, defined and affirmed. I would rather not get into the debate of the role of women in comics history, society, and I don't know what else. A few days ago, the European Parliament voted in favor of inequality of male and female occupations. The masks have fallen, the conservative right has got excited and our society has vomited yet another disgraceful decision. In this context, I consider such cultural projects important. Poetics and personal style have nothing to do with it.
You are active in the Croatian as well as the ex-Yugoslavian comics scenes, transcending the limits of 'national scenes'. Is this a reflection of some broader need or is it mere curiosity? Does this mean that smaller scenes cannot be maintained by themselves and must therefore open outwards, or, on the other hand, perhaps that the former common comics scene actually never completely broke down into separate national scenes, but rather just hid in the underground and thus continued its cultural exchange across the region?
Borders are a perverse formation. I wouldn't say that the underground scene is the only one to have a tendency to spread into a supranational identity. I'd sooner say that the backbone and creative lifeblood of culture grow and develop through curiosity and peer exchange.
Your work reflects a kind of technophilia; you obviously like to try out new approaches and media brought about by new technologies. What is the charm of such an approach and attitude towards the media?
I like to take advantage of every available means that makes it easier to reach my goal. Technology is a means, a medium through which you realise an idea. Otherwise we talk about technical issues. It is a known fact that technology has been developing very quickly in recent times and it has thus opened many doors that had previously been open only to a select few individuals. Technology to the people!
A long time before Komikaze there was a comics collective called Divlje oko (Wild Eye), which you founded with Dušan Gačić and which was active for some time but then disappeared. What kind of team was this, what did it work on, what did it create, who were its members and why did it stop working?
Divlje oko was an interesting mutant, but it had a schizoid head. We had some very interesting cartoonists: the now unfortunately already late Todorovski, then Magda Dulčić and Miroslv Nemeth, about whom I have not heard anything in about a decade, then Irena Jukić, Helena Anžlovar … Gačić and I did not agree on the concept of the group and its mode of operation. I was interested in networking, new media and social engagement, rather than an elitist lounge arrangement of a tightly knit group of artists.
What actually is the concept of Komikaze and Komikaze.hr? The website is probably a platform for distribution of the webzine Komikaze? Why did you decide to have a webzine? What are the advantages (and disadvantages) of web publishing? How does this relate to printed press? And, while we are at it, how did you number the issues of Komikaze? Number 12 came out in 2013, while there's a total of 34 issues?
Despite the online and paper editions having the same name, they are considered as two different publishing bases, which complement each other. In terms of editions, the online version is leading, as it has just released number 35. The webzine comes out three times per year, every four months. The printed edition, which is the result of a year-round selection from the web and other incoming materials and also serves as a catalogue of exhibitions and memorabilia, is published once a year, in late October or early November.
The website and social networks are a platform for the distribution of online and paper editions, but at the same time Komikaze.hr is also a space that currently unites and connects a network of more than 200 published authors from 50 countries and comprises a virtual library/gallery/museum, which offers its visitors the opportunity to view for free more than 4000 published "panels" of comics.
Komikaze promotes authors, not issues of its own publications. Good drawing is good drawing, be it photocopied, pixelised or printed on silk. The Author and the Drawing have precedence over the medium and the issue. In Komikaze the hierarchy is clear, the arithmetic is banal and simple. The development of technology and social networks returned the author to the centre of attention, while turning everything else into a technological surplus. We live in a digital age; Gutenberg is already behind us. Excessive print costs and bookshop margins, expensive petrol, oversized muscles, these are just some of the obstacles on your way to the audience.
How do you balance the artistic and experimental aesthetics of Komikaze with their social engagement? Artivism à la Armanini?
Artivism is an interesting neologism because it transcends the tautology of the syntagma "art and activism," since there is no art that would not be socially engaged, while even "unengaged art" is also a form of engagement. Many artists nevertheless do not ope-rate on this principle and perceive art as pertaining to the field of aesthetics, which is separated from the outside world as a kind of oasis of subjectivity, privacy and intimacy, but these usually end up in lartpourlartism. In the context of contemporary lexicon your question is rhetorical.
Who are you collaborating with these days and who are you publishing – can you namecheck anyone in particular?
The programme of the collective Komikaze, in the context of collective action for the organisation of (unarmed) resistance to the progressive globalisation of taste and the rise of institutionalised art production, represents a free and altruistic functioning of artists from different fields, connected by their independent and uncompromising stance, representing an alternative to the existing dominant artistic practice.
Time writes history, those who survive will be the ones telling the tale. You can track the development of Komikaze and "like" them on www.komikaze.hr and www.facebook.com/komikaze.hr.
Ivana and Komikaze in 10 years time?
In the first twelve years of its existence the Komikaze network has published more than 200 authors and 4000 "panels" from 50 countries. In 10 years? The network will include 500 authors, 5000 new panels from 100 different countries … Number 22 will be released. All who draw, or who have never done so until just now, are invited to send their works to komikaze5001@gmail.com.
As for me… I hope I will be drawing more. But we'll see each other before that, won't we?
Ivana Armanini is a comics artist, illustrator, designer and photographer. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. In 2002 she founded the collective Komikaze, within which she is still actively working. The collective connects the local and international comics scene, deals with online and print publishing, organises comics workshops, exhibitions and media events in conjunction with various non-governmental organisations. Ivana has also tried her hand as a teacher, restoration specialist, journalist and book seller. She lives between Ljubljana and Zagreb.

By adminIn Court Rules, Legal Advice
The waiver of a right to refer a dispute to arbitration could be express or implied. However such a waiver has to be clear and unambiguous so as to avoid doubts about the intent of the party to wave the right.
The claimant in this case was a Real Estate company in Dubai. The claimant filed a case in the court against the Respondent who is also a real estate company to direct the respondent to provide account statements of all collections made from the sale and re-sale process of real estate units. The statements were to also indicate the commissions which were due to the claimant including what amounts had been paid and how much was pending.Facts of the case
Request for Arbitration and CFI Judgment
It was submitted by the claimant that the contract between the parties provided for disputes to be settled through arbitration under the rules of Dubai International Arbitration Center (DIAC). It was further submitted that although the claimant had designated its arbitrator and notified the other party to appoint its arbitrator within the notice period, the other party failed/refused to do so. It was alleged by the claimant that such inaction from the other party shall be considered as a waiver of its right to arbitrate.
The other party, the respondent, attended the first hearing of the case and requested that the case be dismissed citing lack of jurisdiction as the contract contained an arbitration clause requiring the parties to refer all disputes to DIAC.
The Court of First Instance accepted the respondents request and dismissed the case due to lack of jurisdiction.
Appeal and the Claimant's Allegations
The Court of Appeal agreed with the Court of First Instance and upheld its judgment to dismiss the case due to lack of jurisdiction.
The claimant appealed the judgment at the Court of Cassation. The Claimant argued that it had provided the respondent the opportunity to refer the dispute to arbitration through a notice requesting for the appointment of an arbitrator. However, despite the notice clearly stating that failure or refusal of the respondent to appoint its arbitrator within five days of receiving the notice shall be construed as a waiver of its right to arbitrate, the respondent failed/refused to respond or appoint its arbitrator.
The claimant also submitted that as per Article 2 of the Dubai International Arbitration Center Rules, the court shall not dismiss a case because of lack of jurisdiction unless a request or application was submitted to DIAC requesting for arbitration or conciliation. The Claimant argued that no such request or application was made to DIAC and therefore the lower courts erred in their judgment by dismissing the case due to lack of jurisdiction.
Court of Cassation Judgment
The Court held that the claimant's argument shall be rejected since Article 203 of the Civil Procedure Law of UAE expressly states that a party to a contract shall not unilaterally resort to the court if the contract contains a mutually agreed valid arbitration clause.
The court observed that although a party shall have the right to waive adherence to arbitration clause such waiver, whether expressly or impliedly conveyed, shall need to be through an act or procedure which clearly reveals the party's intent to wave the right to arbitrate. Such waiver shouldn't be ambiguous and should be clearly showing the intention to waive the right.
The Court of Cassation therefore confirmed point of view of the court of Appeal and rejected the appeal.
If the dispute occurred and the litigants did not agree on the arbitrators, or one or more of the agreed upon arbitrators refrained from work, removed it, being removed from it, adjudged as disqualified, or there is obstacle hindering exercising thereof, and there is no agreement between the litigants in this respect; the court concerned originally by consideration of the dispute shall appoint the required arbitrators on the request of a litigant, by the normal procedures of filing the claim.
Consistent with Article 204 , the Court also observed that the right of the court to appoint arbitrator is only valid in case arbitration clause doesn't show the authority or process or mechanism for arbitration. The court further elaborated that even if the clause indicates a provision to define the method of appointment of arbitrators a party to the contract is not entitled to later unilaterally approach the court for the appointment of arbitrators unless mutually agreed.
Since the contract provided that the arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with the rules DIAC the Court held that Article 27 of DIAC rules shall apply which provides the mechanism for appointment of arbitrators. As per Article 27 of the DIAC rules the executive committee of DIAC has the right to appoint an arbitrator and to appoint the chief of the tribunal in case parties did not.

BDS' WESLEY CAINES JOINS PANEL ON CONDITIONS AT FISHKILL FOR BEACON PRISON ACTION
BDS reentry specialist Wesley Caines will join a panel hosted by Beacon Prison Action Tuesday tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 7 p.m. in Beacon. Wesley will discuss his own experiences in Fishkill Correctional Facility as well as his work at BDS which includes efforts to improve conditions at prisons around the state and help people leaving prison safely reintegrate back into population.
Beacon Prison Action is an alliance of people in the Beacon area who became concerned about the conditions at the local prison after 30-year old Sam Harrell was beaten to death by corrections officers at Fishkill. This event is organized in partnership with the Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement (CAIC), which holds actions on the 23rd of every month to recognize the 23 hours each day that a person in solitary confinement is isolated.
Wesley will be joining Johnny Perez, a non-attorney advocate at the Urban Justice Center Mental Health Project (MHP), a civil legal services firm that provides legal and social work services to people with serious mental illness; Scott Paltrowitz, Associate Director of the Prison Visiting Project of the Correctional Association of New York (CA) and a member of the NY Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement (CAIC); and Isaac Scott, a graphic designer and fine artist who served 7 years, 8 months and 16 days of a 9-year sentence in the New York State Prison system during which he worked as an Inmate Grievance Representative (IGR) at several facilities including Fishkill Correctional.
The event will be held at Howland Cultural Center, 477 Main Street, Beacon, NY, at 7 p.m., Tuesday, February 22, 2016.

The Libyan Football Federation (LFF) set the date October 26 for the start of the Libyan Premier League for 2018/2019.
The LFF clarified on its Facebook page that the match for the Super Cup between last year's league winner Al-Nasser and the cup holder Al-Ittihad will take place on 21 of the same month.
The LFF has revealed earlier the mechanism of selecting the stadium that will host the Super Cup match where both teams will be asked to choose a stadium; then a draw will be made to determine the hosting venue.

este desemnarea provizorie a unui obiect neconfirmat văzut orbitând în jurul lui Saturn în cadrul marginii interioare a inelului F pe 21 iunie 2004. A fost observat în timp ce J. N. Spitale încerca să confirme orbita unui alt obiect provizoriu, , care a fost văzut cu 5 ore mai devreme chiar în exteriorul inelului F.  Anunțul a fost făcut pe 9 septembrie 2004.

În ciuda încercărilor ulterioare de a-l recupera, de atunci nu a fost văzut în mod sigur. În special, o secvență imagistică care acoperă o întreagă perioadă orbitală cu o rezoluție de 4 km făcută pe 15 noiembrie 2004 nu a reușit să recupereze obiectul. Secvența ar fi trebuit să fie capabilă să detecteze cu ușurință un satelit de dimensiuni similare, sugerând că este pur și simplu o aglomerare tranzitorie. S-ar putea face o legătură aproximativă dintre S/2004 S 3 și S/2004 S 4 și se potrivește cu alte două aglomerări detectate pe alte date, dar având în vedere nedetectarea sa în noiembrie, relația lor este probabil o coincidență.

Este de asemenea posibilă o interpretare în care S/2004 S 3 și S/2004 S 4 sunt sau au fost un singur obiect pe o orbită ce trece prin inelul F.  Un astfel de obiect ar putea, de asemenea, să orbiteze cu o înclinație ușor diferită față de inelul F, astfel încât să nu treacă prin materialul inelului, în ciuda faptului că este văzut atât radial spre interior, cât și spre exterior.

Dacă este un obiect solid până la urmă,  ar avea 3–5 km în diametru în funcție de luminozitate.

I have not read the previous volumes of Super Sons (though I'm absolutely going to now) and this was my first introduction to Johnathan Kent. I have read the first issue of DC Rebirth's Teen Titans (Damian Knows Best) and I did rather like Damian Wayne's character, which I know can be a controversial topic in some circles.
This book was pure, child-like joy. I loved it from the start and I think the main reason was the chemistry between Damian and John as a team. Their banter is simple but so, so funny and, I felt, a pretty great representation of their age; I love the whole 'we are actually best friends, but we just find each other immensely annoying' dynamic. I didn't really know I needed this 13-year-old duo in my life but now all I want to do is go back and read it all from the start.
Even with my limited previous experience with the character, I know John is an immeasurably good influence on Damian and even in this single volume, you can see how their friendship is having a positive effect on Damian's character.
The brief Super Pets adventure was also really fun, though I'm not sure I could read an entire book of translating 'hissss'es and 'grrrr's, it was a nice intermission and I love how Krypto and Bat-hound's dynamic mirrors Damian & John's (even down to Krypto having to carry Bat-hound somewhat unceremoniously when they have to fly anywhere).
The art is just amazing, too. I absolutely love John's costume, it actually looks like something a 13-year-old could and would wear and I've always like Damian's Robin suits anyway.
I really don't think I can find fault with it. I want, and need, more of Super Sons in my life now, and my next stop after this review is Amazon to pre-order the Omnibus and yours should be too.

It's been a few years since I've read comics or graphic novels. I'm a spiderman fan and I like heavy, almost disturbing manga. But this is a change of pace. I might have to check it out. I'll show it to my daughter who is 12.
I like Spiderman too! I hope you (and your daughter) like it as much as I did!
My sons are lovers of both DC and Marvel so they would like this. Great review.
Gosh, I can't remember the last time I even saw a comic book, let alone read one. Love your review. Never heard of this comic before.
I love how the graphics are so vibrant!
