Thank you so much for the advice and encouragement! I've got a long ways to go, but manga is one of the things I'm really passionate about, so I will keep on trying!
I will definitely let you know and send some stuff your way when I get it rolling! Just out of curiosity, how do you plan out your chapters? I've read a lot of different materials dealing with this, but I'd like to hear it from an actual artist. Do you decide what you want to happen in the chapter and write out a script first, then decide what to do with the panels and such? Do you have a set number of pages for each chapter? If it's too much trouble, don't feel pressured to answer. XD I'm just curious.


The irony of this emotional milieu is that it sometimes clouds what we are here to do, namely reward work that evokes some emotion. I've seen this happen in the jury room too, where debate rages on about how 'clever' something is or how 'relevant' or 'original'. All of which are very important criteria but they all mean nothing unless the work actually achieves the most important criterion. How it makes you feel.
This is not a vague and fanciful 'creative evaluation method' this is scientific fact. We are fundamentally emotional beings and the more emotional the work the more effective it is. In fact research has shown that it can be in excess of ten times more effective. So, in evaluating the work I saw this week at Cannes I applied this simple filter and what becomes patently evident is that the great work, the work that truly makes you feel something, is not really debatable.
So, as the week comes to a close, and while you have the opportunity, I suggest that you take some time trawling through the winners at www.canneslions.com. It is a unique privilege to be able to view the world's best work (or most of it anyway, some of it is debatable 🙂 in one place. Have a look and see you what you think. Sorry I mean, see what you feel.

India-EU, happy traders
Julien Lathus
Hannah Mosford
With trade between the two markets reaching 80 billion euros, the south-east Asian country and the EU are hoping to advance with a free-trade agreement. What is this economic partnership about, and what are its challenges?
Salman Khurshid, India's external affairs minister, visited Europe between 28-30 January. He met with Catherine Ashton, his EU counterpart, in Brussels in their 13th inter-ministerial meeting. After six years of long negotiations, in a joint press statement the two parties have stated that they are both 'committed to ensuring we conclude our free trade agreement as rapidly as possible'.
EU-India love
The European union is India's most important commercial partner; trade between the two reached nearly 80 billion euros in 2011. That year the EU exported 40.4 billion euros of goods to India while imports were valued at 39.4 billion euros, a 17% increase in trading compared with 2010. At the trading plan level, the balance of trade (a profit of 1.1 billion euros on the part of the EU - ed) allows the EU to match these Indian imports, which are mainly in the textile sector but also in agriculture and energy. So the eagerness to see this agreement ratified - tackling questions on customs tariffs and the improvement of commercial infrastructures - is more understandable. The words exchanged by Ashton and Khurshid during this meeting really show the two parties' happiness in seeing their partnership materialise after long years of negotiation.
Indian imports to the EU are mainly in the textile sector, but also in agriculture and energy
Diplomatic relations between the EU and India were established in the 1960s and then extended in 1994 when the EU-India strategic partnership opened the door to discussions on politics and economy. The last two inter-ministerial meetings - in Brussels in 2010 and New Delhi in 2012 - were marked by the desire of both to refocus their relationship to take in commercial and economic cooperation while giving equal balance to policy, security and human rights questions. If political relations between India and the EU are still developing, then all efforts are concentrated on maintaining economic links. With an eye on this future market, Europe has a real interest in showing a united front to India, since it is in its form as a 'union', it remains India's primary commercial partner.
Future of partnership
The ratification of the free-trade treaty between India and the EU will stimulate a market that's made up of 1.7 billion people. The prospect of the mutual growth and prosperity it creates could shake up 21st century economy. The EU and India could now act as a counterbalance to Chinese and American power; something to potentially bring about geo-economic redistribution at a global level. 'If 80 billion euros in trade seems like a considerable sum, it is still well below the potential anticipated by researchers,' says Daniele Smajda, the EU Ambassador to India. But it is a potential which essentially depends on policies dealing with customs barriers and taxes.
The success of free trade between the EU and India should allow for a more significant breadth of trade. This would be a positive move for the EU as India represents an essential market for its economic recovery. 'It concerns all aspects of the European economy. In terms of the automobile sector, on the French side as well as the German, we know how important opening the Indian market is,' the diplomat states.
'The Indian government opened retail trade to foreign investors; this means that retail multinationals can open supermarkets in the country and keep up to 51% of the capital'
Since Manmohan Singh took office as prime minister in 2004, India has become aware of the importance of direct foreign investment (DFI). An essential part of the current economy, DFI is now considered a substantial force for India's economic development. Consequently, several liberal reforms aimed at attracting DFI to the country have been undertaken, most recently with concessions being allowed for large-scale distributors, telecommunication and aviation. In September 2012, the Indian government opened retail trade to foreign investors; this means that retail multinationals can open supermarkets in the country and keep up to 51% of the capital. Although this is a long-awaitedreform aimed at re-launching a moribund economy, it has nevertheless brought a political and trade union revolt in its wake. The success of large-scale distributors could bring about the disappearance of the small retailers who make up 93% of India's retail trade.
For many political and economic specialists, the Indian economy is still vulnerable because of its skittishness regarding investments. If the reforms seem to open the country up a bit, India could become one of the preferred destinations for investors looking for good quality production but cheap labour. However, as in Europe, trade unions in India are worried about the consequences of an ultra-liberal market. That's just one issue that politicians will have to take into account to ensure an Indo-European partnership that is both equitable and dynamic.

The steaming system temperature control is one of the low temperature refrigerators designed and produced by Wuxi Guanya LNEYA. The temperature range is from -5 °C to -150 °C. The secondary subcooling technology is adopted, the refrigeration is rapid, the refrigeration temperature is low, and the liquid is rapidly cooled. It is widely used in high-tech industries such as petrochemical, medical, pharmaceutical, biochemical, freeze-drying, pharmaceutical, military and so on.
Before using the steaming system to control the temperature, be sure to read the instruction manual and safety requirements, observe the safety requirements, and keep the instruction manual for the temperature control of the steaming system properly so that the operator can read it when they do not understand it.
The temperature control system needs to select the power supply according to the power supply size of LNEYA's appearance manual. Do not share the same power supply with other electrical appliances, so as to avoid danger caused by excessive temperature control load of the steaming system. The power supply controller should be grounded as much as possible and pay more attention to whether it is firm or not. Improper grounding results in electric shock.
Pay attention to the installation diagram, power supply diagram, communication diagram, electrical diagram and other drawings for temperature control of the steaming system to install, pay attention to the separation of strong and weak electricity, transformer input, relay according to the size requirements of the description, to ensure voltage input. Please also pay attention to the installation, the location should not be in the rain, snow, waste and sun exposure, do not touch the screen controller with sharp objects, or put too much pressure on the controller to avoid damage to the touch screen.
Pay attention to the accessories that protect the temperature control system from steaming, do not pull and twist the power cord and communication line to avoid malfunction. If the equipment meets maintenance needs, please contact the manufacturer and do not repair it yourself.
If there are other problems in the safety requirements of the temperature control system, or if you cannot solve the doubts in the manual, you are welcome to consult the technical staff of the professional manufacturer for guidance.

Danna poised to run for Harris County Sheriff
Joe Danna, a lifetime Houstonian and a Master Peace Officer who has worked in every division of the Constable's Office, is getting closer to his bid for the new Harris County Sheriff position. This past Tuesday, current sheriff Ed Gonzalez was renominated for the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director position, which will leave the Sheriff role open.
Biden initially nominated Gonzalez back in April 2021, and Gonzalez was approved by a Senate committee in August. The next step of the process would have been a floor vote, which needed to take place by the end of 2021. If that deadline is missed, the process must start over again.
That's exactly what happened, as Republicans, in particular, argued against Gonzalez's appointment. Divisiveness on the floor has prevented several nominees from moving forward; in fact, ICE has not had a permanent director for five years as the parties cannot come to agreement. Republicans argue that Gonzalez has not cooperated with ICE in the past and so is a poor choice for Director.
Once Gonzalez's nomination receives final approval or he officially steps down from his current position, the Executive Committees for the Republican and Democratic Parties will nominate a candidate to run in the Sheriff's race this November 2022, with no primary race.
Harris County Republican Party Chair Cindy Seigel has advised she will call an emergency meeting of the Executive Committee, which is made up of the 600 Precinct Chairs, to nominate and approve their candidate. Danna feels confident the outcome will favor his campaign.
"We have the support of both Republican Commissioners Cagle and Ramsey, many 2022 judicial candidates and many of the 600 Precinct Chairs that will confirm our campaign," said Danna.
Danna is eagerly awaiting this confirmation, as he has plans to improve funding, spending, and the efficiency and respect within the Harris County police system.
At the top of Danna's action plan as Sheriff is to bring appreciation and transparency to the office, saying, "These are prerequisites to any program that will effectively reduce crime."
He references the Harris County Safe Program, recently approved by The Commissioners Court. The program will provide $2.6 million to put close to 100 extra deputies on the street each day. While this sounds good on the surface, Danna describes it as "a perfect example of throwing good money into an ineffective program to curb crime. These Deputies will work a double shift, and that alone is not effective policing. If you place a Sheriff Deputy in every household and you don't show them a true appreciation for their service, you're wasting their time and our money."
Danna stated, "We must first bring back respect amongst the 5000 employees of the Sheriff's Office in order to earn the respect from the community, and this starts at the top with the Sheriff.
"I, along with thousands of our supporters await the outcome of the current Sheriff's approval to move on to a federal position. We are confidently moving forward with our campaign with our sights on a WIN in November 2022."

AN AUDIO THREAD attached to a #febooary conversation about smart use of apps has led into a deep dive about enhancing workflow through the selective use of smartphone routines. For me, this suggest we are approaching hyperlocalised task-oriented notifications.
Photo by @topgold evolving notes into audio clips.
Hyperlocalised. This means your personal tech knows where you are (#context based on priority taskings in your life, time of day, and geolocation).
Task-oriented. Your personal tech should be able to direct you to priorities that you or collaborators set in smart calendars. You should also receive nudges if you drift off target.
Notifications. I have refined the notifications served up on my phone to ensure only priority notifications interrupt vetted calendar alerts. This means I have shuttered parts of my time from people who care about me more than I care about my personal tech.
I hope my interest in creating a smarter workflow might result in others joining this conversation. If that is you, please let @topgold know where you will connect with your thoughts. You could leave a link or pointer as a comment below.

The Kia Rebranding Process
Posted By: Sidney Cook
The rebranding process has been ongoing for a few years, with the latest brand being Kia. The Korean automaker recently changed its name and launched a new logo. However, the company has never introduced a new logo or name in the UK. There are many risks associated with rebranding, and you should be aware of these before you start your search for a new car. It's important to be cautious with the new name, as it may not reflect the true identity of the brand.
In the beginning, the company was known as Kia, but that image was quickly tainted by bad marketing, so it redesigned its logo in 2009. Today, the brand aims to distinguish itself from other Asian brands by displaying a fresh look. Its new logo incorporates symmetry and a line, and it's meant to be a symbol of a fresh start. As such, it is still not fully developed, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
The new logo is based on the Kia company's heritage of making bargain-bin cars, but the company aspires to rebrand itself with a more sophisticated image. The company plans to use a flowing script to spell out the brand's name. The script is said to evoke symmetry and rhythm, and is meant to inspire confidence. As a result, the rebranding process is expected to continue.
It has not shed its reputation of building cheap cars, but the new logo has a fresh and striking look. The new brand's symmetrical shape was designed to suggest symmetry. The brand is also aiming to introduce electric vehicles and offer mobility services. By combining the two, the new logo could be an asset in the future. So, it's clear to see the brand making some major moves in the coming years.
In 2010, the new logo was unveiled. It replaced the old oval logo. The new logo is more modern than the old one. It is a symmetrical symbol. It conveys a sense of symmetry. It is also supposed to be a reflection of Kia's ethos. It has been designed to be a symbol of a fresh start. It is a symbol of a renewed company, a sign of its commitment to its brand.
The new logo was also designed to make the car's identity clear. While it carries the same brand name as the current one, it has a slightly different look. The old logo had a red-on-white theme. The new logo is black-on-white, and has a futuristic vibe. The new logo is so complicated that it's hard to recognize as a Kia logo. Hence, it is crucial to make the brand's logo more legible and memorable for consumers to remember.

Wisconsin - A Pioneer in Worker's CompensationView PDF
A Historical Background: Before worker's compensation, if a person was injured at work, they had very limited rights of recovery. Taken into consideration was whether or not the conduct of the injured worker contributed to the injury. This is known as "contributory negligence." If the injured worker was partly responsible for the accident, they could not force their employer to pay them -- no matter how small their part. There was also no means of recovery if the injury was caused by a fellow worker. These were harsh rules.
These old rules created problems for the legal system. What was an injured worker to do while they were unable to work? How were they going to pay their bills? To make matters worse, to collect from the employer, the worker had to take the matter to a jury trial. It would take months to get to trial. Once the case got to trial, juries tended to be sympathetic to workers and would bend over backwards not to find workers at fault. Judges had the power to overrule juries where the negligence of the worker was clear. This led to a perception that the system was unfair.
The movement for a worker's compensation system began in Germany in the 1880's. By the turn of the 20th century, many American states were thinking about creating their own systems. Worker's compensation had advantages for both workers and employers. Workers could receive compensation even if they were partly at fault. This is what is referred to as a "no fault" system. Employers would have to pay, but only according to a fixed schedule based on the seriousness of the injury. This appealed to employers as they knew what the payments would be and no longer had to worry about jury verdicts, which were difficult to predict.
Wisconsin – A Pioneer: By 1909, the Wisconsin Supreme Court was openly urging the Legislature to adopt the new system. Justice Marshall felt it would be better to spread the cost of accidents throughout society, since workers labored for the good of society as a whole. In 1911 the Wisconsin Legislature passed a worker's compensation law. Some years later, the Legislature made Wisconsin's worker's compensation system mandatory. Wisconsin became the first state in the nation to put a broad worker's compensation system into place. Since that time, many other states have looked to our system as a model for balancing the interests of injured workers with management.
Worker's Compensation Advisory Council: As it was then and as it is now, the Wisconsin worker's compensation system is a compromise between the interests of business and labor. A Worker's Compensation Advisory Council was created, to advise the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the Legislature on policy matters regarding the development and administration of the worker's compensation law. The Advisory Council assists in maintaining the overall stability of the worker's compensation system, without regard to partisan changes in the legislative or executive branches of government. The Advisory Council provides a vehicle for labor and management representatives to play a direct role in recommending changes in the worker's compensation law to the Legislature. These changes occur every two years. An "agreed upon" bill of recommendations is submitted to the Legislature. The Legislature traditionally accepts the Advisory Council's recommendations and forwards the bill to the Governor, for his approval.
The Advisory Council is comprised of five voting representatives from labor; five voting representatives from management; three non-voting representatives from the insurance industry; and one voting representative from the DWD. A list of these representatives can be found at the DWD website (www.dwd.state.wi.us).

Senator GIVENS (Queensland) - I should probably agree with your ruling, sir, as being in accordance with ancient precedent, if I thought that ancient precedent were a proper guide for this Senate.
Senator Lt Col Gould - It is in accord with modern precedent.
Senator GIVENS - If some honorable senators had their way> we should always act on ancient precedent. They take the view that because people in bygone ages, or, it may be, in recent times, have laid down a certain rule, we should slavishly follow that rule, whether it be right or wrong. I do not hold with that doctrine. 1 agree with you, sir, when you say that we are laying down a practice for ourselves; and it is for that reason that I am exceedingly anxious, in framing precedents for the future guidance of Parliament - though I hope no future Parliament will slavishly follow our precedents - to be careful that our mode of procedure is in a right direction. For that reason, I take the liberty, with all due respect, to differ from your ruling. I' hold the idea very strongly that we should have the power to amend in the fullest possible degree every Bill brought before us. Undoubtedly, in theory, we have that power, and I believe that in practice also we have it, provided the amendments are relevant to the Bill.
Senator Trenwith - That is the whole question.
Senator GIVENS - The whole matter in dispute now is whether the amendment proposed by Senator O'Keefe is relevant to the Bill before us. Without labouring the details, an examination of the Bill from the title onwards goes to show that it is a Bill to amend the existing Electoral Act. It proposes the amendment of that Act in many and various ways. To my mind, the amendment proposed by Senator O'Keefe - the merits of which I do not propose to discuss at this stage - is merely a minor amendment, which does not deal with any important matter of principle, as some honorable senators would have us believe. It deals with the question as to how the elector, on whom we have conferred the franchise, shall exercise his vote - the limits within which he shall exercise it.
Senator Trenwith - Is not that a very important matter of principle?
Senator GIVENS - It is not. The conferring of the vote is an important- matter of principle. We deal with an important principle when we say who shall, and who shall not, have the right to a vote. We dealt with an exceedingly important principle when we conferred1 the franchise on the female portion of the population. That was an entirely novel principle, in connexion with which it might well have been appropriate to go through all the circumlocution desired by Senator Trenwith'.
Senator Trenwith - It was no newer than is this. There are more places in which female franchise exists than there are places where the Hare-Spence system is in vogue, or where plumping is permitted.
Senator GIVENS - What is the real cause of the trouble in this instance? It is that we are asked, in an amending Bill, to amend the electoral law so extensively as practically to repeal one-half of it, and the proposal is submitted to us in a piece-meal fashion. This amending Bill should have been brought down in such a form that its first clause would have proposed the repeal of the principal Act, and then the new electoral law should have been set out in full.
Senator Trenwith - And that has not been done.
Senator GIVENS - It has not been done, and that is the cause of the trouble. If that course had been adopted we should have had the whole subject under full review, and we should have been enabled to pass an electoral law in accordance with the desire of Parliament.
Senator Trenwith - And now we have not that opportunity.
Senator GIVENS - I submit that we have. I say that if the practice of introducing in this fashion amending Bills of so far-reaching a character is to prevail, and we are to be prohibited from proposing important amendments, because no reference is made to the subject with which they deal in the amending Bill submitted for our consideration, the power of Parliament disappears immediately. It becomes a mere myth, and Ministers are the bosses of the situation. What should be the position occupied by Ministers in respect to Parliament? Unfortunately, it is not what it should be. The position which they should occupy is that of a mere committee of Parliament holding certain positions in order to carry out the wishes and desires of Parliament. Instead of occupying that position they have unsurped almost the sole power in the past, and unless we take a strong stand they will continue to usurp power in the future. They come down with an amending Bill, and say, "We desire to amend .the existing ,law in this fashion, and in no other." I say that when a Ministry adopts that tone to their masters - to the country, and members representing the people - the shorter shrift a Government of that kind gets the better for the country and Parliament also.
The PRESIDENT - Does the honorable senator think that he is discussing the question ?
Senator GIVENS - I am, because I am dealing with the cause of the trouble in which we find ourselves at present, and I am trying to find a way out of the difficulty. Ministers come down here and say, in the most arrogant fashion, "You must amend the Set in this particular direction, and in no other." So we have Senator Keating practically telling us that it is entirely outside our province to do anything whatever with the principal Act unless we do it at the express wish and invitation, of. the Government, as if the members of the present Ministry were bosses of the whole situation, and could dictate to a free Parliament and a free people. I entirely repudiate their right to assume any such position. It will be a bad day for Parliament and for the country when any such attitude on the part of the Government will be tolerated. It is exceedingly important that the rights of the Committee of the Senate to deal with a Bill of this nature should not be too much restricted. I agree with the ruling laid down by the President that no entirely new and foreign principle can be introduced by way of amendment into a Bill in Committee. But I point out that we are not by the amendment proposed by Senator O'Keefe seeking to introduce an alteration 'pf the law, involving a new departure, as, for instance, the proposal to adopt the Hare-Spence system of voting would have done. I think the President very properly ruled that proposal out of order. By Senator O'Keefe's amendment we merely propose to discuss whether it is better that we should adopt the method of voting in force at the first Commonwealth election or that adopted for the second election. Apart altogether from the merits of the two methods of voting, which I do not propose to discuss, I ask honorable senators whether there is any great departure in principle involved in an amendment of this kind. Is it not a fact that the method of voting, adopted without too much consideration in the principal Act, was adopted more by way of experiment than anything else? The proposal to adopt that method was a distinct departure from the old method of voting, which gave an elector the right to vote as he pleased ; but the new method having been adopted in the principal Act, Senator O'Keefe desires that the matter shall be reopened in the consideration of this amending Bill, which proposes to amend the principal Act in a very far-reaching manner. I respectfully submit that the amendment should not have been ruled out of order, and that if the ruling is to stand it will undoubtedly restrict the right of the Committee to amend a Bill in what might be considered a desirable direction. For these reasons I am reluctantly compelled to vote against the ruling gwen by the President.
