A report from WMC Action 5 FBI Raises Animal Cruelty to Top Tier Crime reports on how animal cruelty has been raised to a crime against society at the same level as arson, burglary and kidnapping.
Young people who torture and kill animals are prone to violence against people later in life if it goes unchecked, studies have shown. A new federal category for animal cruelty crimes will help root out those pet abusers before their behavior worsens and give a boost to prosecutions, an animal welfare group says.
For years, the FBI has filed animal abuse under the label "other" along with a variety of lesser crimes, making cruelty hard to find, hard to count and hard to track. The bureau announced this month that it would make animal cruelty a Group A felony with its own category — the same way crimes like homicide, arson and assault are listed.
"It will help get better sentences, sway juries and make for better plea bargains," said Madeline Bernstein, president and CEO of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles and a former New York prosecutor.
The category also will help identify young offenders, and a defendant might realize "if he gets help now, he won't turn into Jeffrey Dahmer," she said.
Law enforcement agencies will have to report incidents and arrests in four areas: simple or gross neglect; intentional abuse and torture; organized abuse, including dogfighting and cockfighting; and animal sexual abuse, the FBI said in statement. The bureau didn't answer questions beyond a short statement.
Unfortunately, it will be January 2016 before this vital data on animal cruelty will even start to be collected – apparently it takes that long to put all the necessary systems in place.
This change of status is clearly a step in the right direction in the battle against animal cruelty. It seems to us that legislators still have much work to do in order to make a real difference.

Gio Goi 1988 Collection
Written by	JR Hartley
Gio Goi is back, back on the shelves, in the clubs and on the streets as it releases its new range of clothing. But probably the most significant thing about its return is the fact its back in the hands of the guys who gave it us the first time round, The Donnelly brothers.
It was Anthony and Christopher Donnelly who went from staging Manchester's first ever illegal acid house party 'Sweat It Out' to forming Gio Goi and dressing the likes of The Happy Mondays and 808 State as well as launching such collections as the 'Too Much Rock'n'Roll' collection fronted by Pete Doherty. As one of the 90's most definitive UK clothing labels it was a lot later on when Gio Goi was for a period of time taken over by high street retail giants, which saw it bottom out and move away from the quality and creative style the label was renowned for.
Back in The day - Gio Goi creators The Donnelly Brothers
And so, back with the labels founders also means back to that classic Gio Goi logo which put it on the map back in 88, during the climax of the acid house movement - something which it celebrates with the new '88 collection' featuring the designs and slogans which were inspired during acid house and brought the label its celebrated notoriety on the counter culture scene. But its referencing the original logo with a new and contemporary range of casual/athletic ware which gives a nod and wink to the glory of Gio Goi while keeping it fresh with todays latest fit's and styles - a clever twist on a classic logo.
This Includes the 'Classic' collection featuring jackets, T's, hoodies, jumpers as well as caps and hats, and most importantly all made to that quality standard the label was known and loved for. Going through the new clothing line several pieces stand out, and maybe its all about the return to that original logo and the new line of versions of it which brings a whole new vibe and energy about Gio Goi. Like this new Gio Goi sweatshirt with the over sized inverted half logo/with large back print (below) which really kinda showcases the labels new range really well.
For the '88' collection its all about the brands now celebrated slogans of the days of acid house, remember the 'Fucked Up Range', or the 'Drug Free' design.. how about the Gio Goi definitive 'To Those Dodging The Rain 'n' Bullets' slogan (below). Well they're back, and all made to that same standard the Donnelly produced Gio Goi is known and respected for, upheld as a fine fitting quality made product as well as for its creativeness and inspired slogans. Ranging in several colours with the optional back print logo's, go check the full '88' collection out on their website.
Gio Goi also release a whole range of caps, hats and glasses too, all featuring the new logo designs, go to ASOS and check it out! Also available on Psyche Fashion and Very

A cyclist was riding in a designated cycle lane when he collided with the rear of a breakdown recovery vehicle that was turning left across his path into a petrol station.
The cyclist was held 50% responsible as the recovery vehicle was always in front of the cyclist and therefore should have been seen.
The court found that a cyclist riding in a cycle lane had sufficient opportunity to take evasive action to avoid a collision with a car which was emerging from a driveway. Although it was found that the car driver should have proceeded with extreme caution as his view was extremely restricted, it was deemed that the cyclist should have seen the emerging vehicle.
The cyclist was held 75% to blame as the court ruled that he held the greater opportunity to that of the car driver to avoid the incident as he should have been able to see the vehicle emerging from the driveway.

Watch Jerry from 'Parks and Rec' send up THAT Fyre documentary scene
Andy King, eat your heart out
By Shortlist Team
You best know actor Jim O'Heir from his role as everyone's favourite punching bag Jerry in Amy Poehler's Parks and Recreation.
His character is almost always the butt of the joke – which makes his latest cameo for the Independent Spirit Awards, spoofing Fyre Festival's Andy King, absolutely perfect.
The skit, which also stars fellow Parks and Rec alumni Aubrey Plaza, sends up that scene from the Fyre documentary,
"She said you have to go to Costco. You have to find a cashier named Joel who has got all of the water bottles. And will you save this award show and suck his dick?" O'Heir says.
"That's what friends are for," Jerry says. "And I know she would do the same for me."
King, famously, made about a gazillion headlines after his appearance in the Netflix documentary about the extremely ill-fated Fyre Festival.
King, an experienced events planner, had told organisers that he'd do anything to help them pull it off – and when they asked him to go and "suck the dick" of customs officials to get a shipment of Evian released, he went down there prepared to do it.
In the end, it (thankfully) wasn't necessary. But the story made King famous, and he's now in talks with several networks keen to give him his own show.
"I had three TV show offers this week, from notable networks," King said. "You're too young to remember this, but in the old world of TV it was The Carol Burnett Show and these fun, light-hearted shows that weren't all crime-related,"
"You see the attractiveness of HGTV today. People love Flip or Flop or Fixer Upper. Let's just say it's going to be a show about hosting crazy events—what it takes to make them happen. There will be cliff-hangers, and you'll get to follow me around and see how I pull them off."

Review | The Myopia, An Epic Burlesque of Tragic Proportion | Written and Performed by David Greenspan | Directed by Brian Mertes | Foundry Theatre
David Greenspan, photo Jon Wasserman
David Greenspan has all the characteristics of a fine performer — he's charming, is an excellent actor, has an expressive voice and body, and is an exceptional impersonator, but what makes what he does essential to see is that he's so smart. He "gets" everything, just like you do. It's so satisfying — and validating! You feel in your heart yes, I understand, yes, I know just what you mean. At last!
Whether he's delivering on the words of Aristotle, or Gertrude Stein or his own Myopia, his subject is that thinking matters and his delivery follows the rhythms of awareness: it's irresistibly fascinating to watch him do it and share it with you.
In The Myopia, there's a stage, a chair, a bottle of water, and David Greenspan. That's all that's needed for worlds to open up for you — and the ones he chooses are often preposterous and totally liberating. It's a varied, exciting cosmos with unexpected events and rich characters evoked through description, "Light illuminates Warren G. Harding, immobile, seated in an easy chair in his room in the La Salle Hotel, Chicago, June 12, 1920," and through impersonation — you'll find Carol Channing engaged in vital conversation in The Myopia. You believe he's who he's impersonating even though he makes no attempt to look like that person: in a riff, I could have sworn I heard Al Jolsen's rising tenor.
To the extent that there's an easily stated subject, The Myopia is a quest to understand the truth and power of drama and some episodes involve a playwright hiding out in the bathroom (what can one say? — it is hard for writers to get the isolation they need). The play, or maybe it's a musical, is about how Warren Harding became President on a wave of corrupt politics (How's that for a musical?). In spite of Herculean efforts on all fronts by the guy with the typewriter in the bathroom, the authorship is in doubt since an electronic orb resembling my roomba (robot vacuum cleaner) named Barclay also claims in his R2d2 voice to be writing it (or is the author Barclay's father?). I found the orb ridiculous (I even got a little bored with it) but never with the overall stream of brilliant consciousness that is David Greenspan. He overcomes the loneliness that separates humans — a definition and achievement of great art. When it's over, you're already looking forward for the next chance you'll have to share Greenspan's vision, bridging the impossible — to see another's inner view outward, through his eyes, his myopia. Congratulations to the Foundry Theatre and Melanie Joseph, Artistic Producer, for bringing us this outstanding writer and performer in an essential event.
It's not surprising that Greenspan is taken by Aristotle on the art of theater, and Gertrude Stein's stream of consciousness: in his dramatic readings of their works, you see the writer figuring it out. Weekends during the run of The Myopia, you can see it as a "double feature" in combination with his Plays, a lecture by Gertrude Stein (his earlier production reviewed here February 2009). See both.
The Myopia plays at the Atlantic Stage 2 in Manhattan's Chelsea, through February 7th.

CRY FOR NATURAL LIGHT
Hermeneutics is the term used for 'the art (or science) of interpretation of literature'. In the Biblical context, it refers to the interpretation of Biblical literature.
The New Testament was written in the time of the early church fathers, which would have had no difficulty in understanding the background of the New Testament books. Consequently, they would most likely have used a literal approach of interpretation.
As the church began to grow, heresies entered and some of the 'church fathers' began to put together more exacting guidelines for Scripture interpretation. Different influences played a role in developing hermeneutic through the centuries. Some of the early 'church fathers', for example, were converted Pagans and influenced much by Greek philosophy – giving rise to an allegorical (symbolistic) approach which continued to a large extent through the dark ages and all the way up to the reformation. During the reformation, the literal method came to be used again for prophecy.
The church itself has gone through many stages during the last 2000 years in interpreting and understanding the Scriptures. Many foundational issues were debated though the years, starting with the issue of Christ's deity.
Today hermeneutics is characterised by many approaches or schools of thought. It would be unrealistic to expect that such a fragmented approach could lead to unity in doctrine among the host of organisational fragments that the modern church has evolved into.
Graham (1984:29) declared well that "Truth is timeless. Truth does not differ from one age to another, from one people to another, from one geographical location to another. Men's ideas may differ, men's customs may change, men's moral codes may vary, but the great all-prevailing Truth stands for time and eternity."[i]
Hermeneutics, because of the variations of approaches that characterizes it, has created many different theologies and sown confusion instead of ensuring the church is served by the truth. Something needs interpretation when there are factors involved that hinders spontaneous understanding; when there is a gap between the reader/viewers comprehension and the material to be understood. This gap may, for example, be based on historical, cultural, linguistic, geographical and biological factors.
It has been said that one cannot paint a masterpiece under artificial light. In the same way, the believer should strive to put Scripture under the natural light of the time, place and circumstances it was written in. The "natural light" that hermeneutics is supposed to provide should serve to remove language, cultural, literary, historical and communication barriers.
It should also guide the believer to avoid a number of hazards, such as misreading, distorting and contradicting the text, as well as subjectivism, relativism and overconfidence.
As we know from all the evidence to the contrary, this has unfortunately not been the case. Spiritual philosophizing is practised widely by preachers, authors and the like. Consequently we need to take other measures for ourselves - by following the example of the Bereans of Acts 17:11 for example.
We must agree with Albert Mohler that recovery starts at home where parents are the first and most important educators of their own children. However, it raises the question, what about the knowledge of the parents? This where the church must step in, but it needs to rid itself first of insecure leadership and the controlling religious spirit that often accompanies it.
Mohler declares that the church needs to recover the centrality and urgency of biblical teaching and preaching. But then we must underline that the church has the responsibility to safeguard the true and original apostolic doctrine found in Scripture and to commit it to others without compromise or corruption. This implies the necessity of clear, unpolluted and uncompromised biblical instruction within the church.
The Bible itself shows that believers should be given the means by which to defend it against all false theologies (e.g. Acts 20:31; Galatians 1:9; 1 Timothy 4:1) - in other words, all believers, not only a select so-called educated elite. We do not say this unkindly, but with great reverence for the educated who diligently seek to know and teach the truth.
Mohler[ii] quite rightly (in our view) states that we will not believe more than we know, and we will not live higher than our beliefs. The many fronts of compromise we have seen in this generation is directly related to biblical illiteracy in the pews and the absence of biblical preaching and teaching in our homes and churches.

Many patients with healthcare associated infections (HAIs) reported feeling "like a leper", "having the plague" or "dirty" after being diagnosed, according to a major new review carried out by researchers at the School of Health and Life Sciences.
The team looked at 17 studies from five different countries, focusing on experiences of patients with five common types of HAIs, including antibiotic-resistant superbug MRSA. There has been little research in Scotland on this topic.
The review concluded that the consequences of HAIs reach well beyond patients' physical health, affecting relationships and leading some healthcare providers to distance themselves from patients who are carrying organisms that can lead to infections.
Lead study author, Kay Currie, Professor of Nursing and Applied Healthcare Research, said: "Within the review we looked at the experiences of people who were ill with infections such as surgical wound infections or Clostridium difficile (C. diff), which was associated with 18 deaths at the Vale of Leven Hospital in Dunbartonshire between 2007 and 2008."
The findings of the review have paved the way for what is thought to be Scotland's first in-depth study into how patients across the country cope with HAIs and how they're treated by healthcare professionals.
Professor Currie is now leading this study: which is part of the ECONI (Evaluation of Cost of Nosocomial Infection) study, led by Professor Jacqui Reilly, examining the hospital, community and wider societal cost of HAI.
She added: "The review was a springboard for looking at the current patient experience in Scotland. We want to know if the findings from our review reflect what is happening in Scotland now, so we can generate guidelines or interventions to improve patient experience. The themes that came out of the review were the differing physical and emotional responses, the difficulties people had coping at home, the kind of responses they got from healthcare professionals, and that's what we'll be looking at.".
The National Point Prevalence Survey (PPS), published last May, indicated the prevalence of HAI in acute hospitals in Scotland was 4.5 per cent, which was significantly lower than the previous five years, however, it still represents one in 22 patients at any one time, or 55,500 infections every year.


Samuel works with Professor Sara Carter at the Hunter Centre at the University of Strathclyde. His research interests include Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Firm Performance.
Dr Samuel Mwaura is employed by the ERC as a Research Fellow along side Professor Sara Carter at the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde. He is a graduate of the University of Birmingham, where he completed his PhD on Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Firm Performance in 2012 under the supervision of Dr Lisa De Propis (Birmingham), Professor Ajit Singh (Cambridge) and Dr Randoph Bruno (UCL).
There is growing interest in entrepreneurial earnings; however prior studies have typically focused on incomes derived from business ownership - a highly problematic measure, which fails to fully capture the rewards of entrepreneurship. In contrast, wealth comprises a stock of accumulated assets providing a more robust measure of relative success and economic well-being over the life-course of the business and the individual entrepreneur.
The Financing of Diverse Enterprises: Evidence from the SME Finance Monitor .Research Paper No 18.
This paper contributes to our understanding of the finance issues currently facing diverse SMEs by presenting a new analysis of the SME Finance Monitor. While prior studies have contributed substantial evidence regarding the effects of either gender or ethnicity on finance outcomes, these analyses have typically focused on either women-owned or ethnic minority owned enterprises. This study considers the experiences and outcomes of both women-owned and ethnic minority-owned enterprises, including the interaction effects of ethnicity and gender.

In other words, our script block can't find any elements later in the page because they haven't been processed yet! Or, put slightly differently: executing our inline script blocks DOM construction, which also delays the initial render.
Another subtle property of introducing scripts into our page is that they can read and modify not just the DOM, but also the CSSOM properties. In fact, that's exactly what we're doing in our example when we change the display property of the span element from none to inline. The end result? We now have a race condition.
What if the browser hasn't finished downloading and building the CSSOM when we want to run our script? The answer is simple and not very good for performance: the browser delays script execution and DOM construction until it has finished downloading and constructing the CSSOM.
The location of the script in the document is significant.
When the browser encounters a script tag, DOM construction pauses until the script finishes executing.
Adding the async keyword to the script tag tells the browser not to block DOM construction while it waits for the script to become available, which can significantly improve performance.

This 100% vegetarian pickled Yongchak preparation will give you a typical taste of Manipur! Yongchak or Parkia (tree bean, twisted cluster bean) is a popular bean variety in Manipur and other states of NorthEast India. Yongchak are long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds having a rather peculiar smell, similar to (but stronger than) that of the shiitake mushroom. Yongchak has a rich and pungent taste with a crunchy texture.
Yongchak is a powerhouse of nutrients with loads of fiber and enzymes that control blood pressure and stomach troubles.

The purpose of this study was to examine teacher and students' perceptions of teacher-student interpersonal behaviour in regional secondary classrooms. Teachers were then presented with this information so that a comparison between teacher ideal, teacher actual and student perceptions of their classroom could be examined. The results were then able to be used by teachers to reflect on and seek to improve their teaching practice. This study utilised the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) to collect data about the classroom learning environment of Australian regional mathematics and science classrooms. Qualitative information in the form of classroom observations and informal interviews has also been collected from a small subset of the student sample. This qualitative information was collected by the researcher in the dual roles of teacher and researcher. Triangulation of the methods of data collection sought to better validate the data collected, and assess multiple perspectives in the classroom. The study has involved a large sample of students from one country high school in Western Australia. All the mathematics classes from Years 8, 9 and 10 and all science classes from Years 8 and 10 have been included in this study. A particular focus for this study was the inclusion of both streamed and non-streamed classes from the mathematics and science areas.The value of this research has been enhanced in that the results have been used as a teaching feedback tool for participants involved in the study to examine, reflect and improve on their teaching practice. The research is a real world, authentic example of one instance where results from the study were used immediately on a local scale by participants. A unique feature of the outcomes from this project is that the teacher appears to play a greater role in determining the classroom climate than does the homogeneous or heterogenous grouping of students within a subject.

Q: xpcom/jetpack observe all document loads I write a Mozilla Jetpack based add-on that has to run whenever a document is loaded. For "toplevel documents" this mostly works using this code (OserverService = require('observer-service')):
    this.endDocumentLoadCallback = function (subject, data) {
        console.log('loaded: '+subject.location);
        try {
            server.onEndDocumentLoad(subject);
        }
        catch (e) {
            console.error(formatTraceback(e));
        }
    };
    ObserverService.add("EndDocumentLoad", this.endDocumentLoadCallback);

But the callback doesn't get called when the user opens a new tab using middle click or (more importantly!) for frames. And even this topic I only got through reading the source of another extension and not through the documentation.
So how do I register a callback that really gets called every time a document is loaded?
Edit: This seems to do what I want:
function callback (event) {
    // this is the content document of the loaded page.
    var doc = event.originalTarget;

    if (doc instanceof Ci.nsIDOMNSHTMLDocument) {
        // is this an inner frame?
        if (doc.defaultView.frameElement) {
            // Frame within a tab was loaded.
            console.log('!!! loaded frame:',doc.location.href);
        }
        else {
            console.log('!!! loaded top level document:',doc.location.href);
        }
    }
}

var wm = Cc["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"].getService(Ci.nsIWindowMediator);
var mainWindow = wm.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
mainWindow.gBrowser.addEventListener("load", callback, true);

Got it partially from here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_School/Intercepting_Page_Loads

A: @kizzx2 you are better served with #jetpack
To the original question: why don't you use tab-browser module. Something like this:
var browser = require("tab-browser");

exports.main = function main(options, callbacks) {
initialize(function (config) {
    browser.whenContentLoaded(
        function(window) {
           // something to do with the window
           // e.g., if (window.locations.href === "something")
        }
    );
});

Much cleaner than what you do IMHO and (until we have official pageMods module) the supported way how to do this.

A: As of Addon SDK 1.0, the proper way to do this is to use the page-mod module.
(Under the hood it's implemented using the document-element-inserted observer service notification, you can use it in a regular extension or if page-mod doesn't suit you.)

Crimes Of The Calculator
A long time ago, a villain came to be, to strike fear into the hearts of the heroic community....that man was....the Calculator!
Well, not so much. True, the Calculator might have been a villain to contend with, but he hardly struck fear into the heroes who faced him.
Let's take a look at the facts of his early cases, and see how things add up!
Crimes By Calculation
Detective Comics #463 (September, 1976 by writer Bob Rozakis, penciller Mike Grell and inker Terry Austin) saw the premiere of the Calculator, and he started off small, by facing the Atom!
The Calculator was trying to steal a "quake-breaker" from scientist Richard Bagley at Ivy University, and he was quickly defeated by the Atom (but, the Calculator seemed happy about this as he pressed a button at his defeat....).
A Hot Time In Star City Tonight
The Atom told his friend and fellow Justice League member, the Black Canary about his case in Detective Comics #464 (October, 1976 by Bob Rozakis, penciller Mike Grell and inker Terry Austin), or at least he tried, as Black Canary wanted to get home to Star City for it's Tricentennial!
After a mishap in getting home, the Black Canary faced off against the Calculator and an untimely heat wave in Star City (that the Calculator was causing by amplifying Black Canary's Canary Cry!). Luckily, she figured out a way to beat him, and did (though, again, the Calculator seemed happy as he pressed a button on his uniform in defeat).
The Elongated Plague
Next up for the Calculator is Detective Comics #465 (November, 1976 by Bob Rozakis, penciller Ernie Chan and inker Terry Austin), where the villain really decided to stretch his muscles, and face off against the Elongated Man!
This time, Elongated Man and his wife, Sue Dibny, were guests of honor at the Star City Comic Con, where they faced off against an outbreak of elongated attendees....the people at the show all developed elongated powers they couldn't control (thanks to the Calculator). Still, Ralph Dibny was able to defeat the Calculator (who again, pushed a button, and seemed very happy in prison....).
Take Me Out Of The Ballgame
Detective Comics #466 (December, 1976 by Bob Rozakis, penciller Marshall Rogers and inker Terry Austin) saw hints of the Calculator's plan, as he attacks a baseball game in Star City.
Green Arrow was scheduled to throw out the first pitch, but he just couldn't get the ball across the plate (and it was the fault of the Calculator). Elongated Man was a spectator at the game, and found himself unable to move to help Green Arrow, as the battling bowman used the Elongated Man as a bowstring to take out the Calculator (accidentally hitting the Calculator's special button himself).
The Man Who Skyjacked Hawkman
By Detective Comics #467 (January-February, 1977 by Bob Rozakis, penciller Marshall Rogers and inkers Terry Austin and Neal Adams), even Hawkman knew something bigger was happening, and he told Batman so.
After Batman related his most recent case to the Thanagarian policeman, Hawkman told Batman of his battle with the Calculator, where he faced his foe at Midway City Airport, as Hawkman was taking a scientist off a plane to stop an atomic plant from melting down, but found his cargo to instead be the Calculator! Hawkman still defeated the villain, and saved the atomic plant (with the Calculator again pressing his button), but Hawkman came to Gotham to warn Batman that he might be the next victim of the Calculator!
Battle Of The Thinking Machines
Detective Comics #468 (March-April, 1977 by Bob Rozakis, penciller Marshall Rogers and inker Terry Austin) sees Batman face the Calculator as the villain tries to steal a time capsule being buried in Gotham, and Batman defeats him, with, yet again, the Calculator pressing his special button.
Batman, after dealing with Metropolis WGBS head, Morgan Edge, goes to the Justice League Satellite, where the members talk about the Calculator escaping...AGAIN...and the heroes who faced him before have Aquaman (who was on monitor duty), beam them down to the Calculator's new target in Central City (where the Flash, the city's hero, is unavailable due to having time travelled into the future at this time). The Calculator....easily defeats the JLA!
Somehow, the Calculator's device would calculate all the tricks the heroes could use against him after one battle, and they would never be able to defeat him again! Batman doesn't believe this, so goes after the Calculator again when he strikes at S.T.A.R. Labs in Central City, and turns the tables on the Calculator, having the villain defeat himself! A truly fun series of tales, as writer Bob Rozakis finally answers the question he set up in all the previous Calculator stories (which, as DC's Answer Man, you knew he would!).
The Calculator Continues
Bob Rozakis brought the Calculator back a few times, first to face the Atom and Air Wave in Action Comics #522 to #524 (August to October, 1981, with penciller Alex Sauvik and inker Vince Colletta), then writer Len Wein, penciller Paris Cullins and inker Dell Barris have Blue Beetle deal with the Calculator in Blue Beetle #8 (January, 1987), and Bob Rozakis has the Calculator learn the value of being behind the scenes, as he faces off against the heroes of Hero Hotline in Hero Hotline #6 (September, 1989, with art by Stephen DeStefano and Karl Kesel).
The Calculator is just another face in the crowd in Justice League America #43, JSA #30, Flash #183 and Young Justice #51, before taking inspiration from the Oracle (the lady who led the Birds of Prey), and became a source for criminal information behind the scenes, helping villains during the Identity Crisis (and finally getting an alter ego, that of Noah Kutler), helping the villains against the Secret Six during Villains United and the Infinite Crisis, and being a thorn in the side of Oracle and Black Canary in Birds of Prey.
The Calculator proved that big things can add up from the smallest beginnings!

Flash Facts: The Early Days of Reverse-Flash
Reverse-Flash was one of Barry Allen's deadliest enemies, having all the same speed powers that the Flash did, but none of his morals or character, time-traveling back from the 25th Century to make things rough for the Flash.
A little different than the character that has appeared on the CW's Flash, so let's take a quick look at the comic history of the Reverse-Flash!
Menace Of The Reverse-Flash
In Flash #139 (September, 1963, by John Broome, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella), we first meet Eobard Thawne, a resident of the 25th Century who finds Dr. Walter Drake's time capsule with a Flash uniform, and uses future science to give himself super-speed. Flash arrives in the 25th Century (to save the future from a potential problem in the capsule), and defeats the criminal referred to as the Professor, then Professor Zoom, because Thawne only got the speed of the Flash, and not the aura that protected Barry from his speed, which the Reverse-Flash duplicated with chemicals. Flash solved the problem, and destroys Professor Zoom's costume.
This tale has been reprinted a few times, like in Flash #205 (April-May, 1971), the Flash Archives #5 of 2009, and DC Comics Presents: The Flash of 2011.
Our Enemy, The Flash
With Flash #147 (September, 1964 by John Broome, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella), the Reverse-Flash returns, and turns reformed criminal Al Desmond back into his element changing identity of Mr. Element (a previous foe of the Flash, who also worked as Dr. Alchemy from Flash's earliest days in Showcase), to stabilize his own Element Z, and get his Reverse-Flash speed back. This leads to another battle with the Flash, which Barry wins over Eobard, as well as being able to prove the innocence of Al Desmond as Al was only a pawn in Professor Zoom's hands.
This tale has been reprinted in Flash Archives #6 of 2012.
The Mightiest Punch Of All Time
Flash #153 (June, 1965 by John Broome, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella) delivers another tale of the Reverse-Flash, with Thawne being released from prison in the 25th Century by cheating on a psychological exam. Then, the Reverse-Flash tries again enlists the help of Mr. Element, but Al calls on the Flash for help. Reverse-Flash makes his own cosmic treadmill to come back to the 20th Century, and gains the power of mental manipulation, which he uses to turn Central City against the Flash. Flash eventually takes on Professor Zoom directly, finishing him off with quite a punch, as well as getting poor Al Desmond help for his criminal tendencies.
This tale was reprinted in Flash #196 (April-May, 1970).
One Bridegroom Too Many
With Flash #165 (November, 1966 by John Broome, Carmine Infantino, and Joe Giella), Professor Zoom develops the habits he uses a lot more in the future. The day before Barry marries Iris West, Thawne brings Barry to the 25th Century, and Reverse-Flash comes back, disguised as Barry to wed Iris!
Coming back in time to make Barry miserable and taking Barry's place are themes Thawne will revisit again and again.
This tale was reprinted in Flash #328 (December, 1983) and in Flash: The Greatest Stories Ever Told Tradepaperback of 2007.
The Race To The End Of The Universe
In Flash #175 (December, 1967 by E. Nelson Bridwell, Ross Andru, and Mike Esposito), the Reverse-Flash works with another time travelling villain of the Flash, 64th Century Abra Kadabra, to manipulate the second Superman/Flash race, and cause problems for Barry Allen. The two villains get defeated by Superman and the Flash, but still no winner in the race is decided...
..and won't be for a while.
More history on the Superman/Flash races is here, and you can find this tale reprinted in the Limited Collector's Edition C-48 of 1976 and in the Superman Vs. Flash Tradepaperback of 2005.
Time Times Three Equals -- ?
Flash #186 (March, 1969 by Mike Friedrich, Ross Andru and Mike Esposito) sees the revival of a Golden Age hero, Sargon the Sorcerer, whose Ruby of Life allows him to manipulate matter, but he comes back as a bad guy. Sargon breaks the Reverse-Flash out of his 25th Century prison, planning to get Professor Zoom to teach him more time travel tricks, but Thawne only wants revenge on the Flash. Professor Zoom battles Sargon, using his own magic against him and trapping the sorcerer in a nether dimension (which he tricks the Flash into freeing him from). After their return, Flash battles the Reverse-Flash again, using the Ruby of Life to defeat him, but Sargon gets away.
This tale has yet to be reprinted, though this cover provides an eerie look into the future of the Flash.
Green Lantern Master Criminal of the 25th Century
Flash #225 (January-February, 1974 by Cary Bates, Irv Novick and Dick Giordano) sees an odd event...
...with Flash teaming up with the Reverse-Flash against Flash's friend, Green Lantern? This happens because Professor Zoom created a "syntho-steed" menace that he sent back to the 20th Century, and the two heroes had to go to 25th Century to get Professor Zoom's help in defeating it.
This tale has yet to be reprinted, but wouldn't it make a great addition to a collection of Flash/Green Lantern team-ups?
The Deadly Secret Of The Flash
Flash #233 (May, 1975 by Cary Bates, Irv Novick and Dick Giordano) sees a bit of the ability to plan and think fast on his feet for the Reverse-Flash, who comes back in time to take Iris Allen as his, and ruin Barry Allen's life. Thawne's original plan doesn't seem to be successful, but in this case he had a back-up plan, and it took a little time for it to manifest...
...but, as a time traveller, Professor Zoom would be okay with that!
This tale was collected in The Flash: A Celebration of 75 Years in 2015, as it well defines the character of the Reverse-Flash!
The 1,000-Year Separation
What Professor Zoom set up in his last appearance comes home in Flash #237 (November, 1975 by Cary Bates, Irv Novick and Frank McLaughlin). Flash had spent the previous two issues looking for Iris Allen (who had disappeared in a battle with Vandal Savage), and the Golden Age Flash and Dr. Fate had been keeping Barry away from Iris, this all due to energy that the Reverse-Flash had put into Iris that would destroy the world if Barry saw Iris again, which Thawne would only remove if Iris wed him. Iris was at her original birth time of the 30th Century (a long story, but Iris was also from the future), and Flash fought the Reverse-Flash there to save Iris, and bring her home.
This story has not been reprinted.
Super-Villain Team-Up
When next the Reverse-Flash appeared, it was as a part of the Secret Society of Super-Villains, working with villains like the Wizard, Blockbuster, the Floronic Man and Star Sapphire, all after the Wizard got rid of Grodd! More on that team after introducing more of it's members, and you can also read more of Reverse-Flash's legacy here!

The Many Lives of Hawkgirl
Hawkgirl is one of DC's first heroines, pre-dating Wonder Woman, and she's still relevant today.
But, Hawkgirl has undergone many changes over the decades as well, so, here's a quick little summary of the many lives of Hawkgirl!
Golden Age Hawkgirl
Shiera Sanders had a long history, even before she became Hawkgirl. Premiering in Flash Comics #1 (January, 1940 by writer Gardner Fox and artist Dennis Neville), Shiera was the reincarnated version of Egyptian priestess, Chay-Ara, who met her eternal love, Prince Khufu in his reincarnated version as Carter Hall. Shiera ended up being kidnapped by Dr. Anton Hastor, the modern version of the foe of the ancient prince and princess, Hath-Set, which led to Carter becoming Hawkman, using an anti-gravity Nth Metal and ancient weapons to save the girl, and (temporarily) vanquish their foe.
Shiera continued with Carter, eventually donning a costume and wings herself in the Justice Society story of All-Star Comics #5 (June-July, 1941) in a story written by Gardner Fox (but it was more to make villains think she was Hawkman), but Shiera officially became Hawkgirl in Flash Comics #24 (December, 1941 by writer Gardner Fox and artist Sheldon Moldoff)...though, just to add a bit of confusion to this tale, she called herself Hawkwoman in this tale (and this one only).
Shiera continued on working with Hawkman in Flash Comics, and occasionally in All-Star Comics (but not being a member of the JSA team in the original run, unlike Carter, who was), though Hawkgirl did join the World War II team of the All-Star Squadron. Shiera was mostly retired when the JSA returned at the coaxing of the two Flashes (having married Carter Hall and had their son, Hector, sometime between the end of the JSA and their first revival), but Hawkgirl did go into limbo with the JSA (unlike the newest members of Power Girl and the Star-Spangled Kid) soon after the Crisis on Infinite Earths (and was officially a JSA member when she and the rest of the team came back for a brief time in the 1990s). Sadly, she and her husband, Carter, didn't make it out of Zero Hour....but did, it's complicated....and that tale requires you to meet the rest of the Hawkgirls and Hawkwomen....
Silver Age Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman
Shayera Hol was introduced to the world in Brave and the Bold #34 (February-March, 1961 by Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert) along with Hawkman as married police officers from the planet Thanagar, looking for fugitive shape-changer Byth, and stayed to learn Earth crime fighting techniques while using her flight, resistance to outer space, technological advances and ancient weapons to fight the new menaces they encountered!
This Hawkgirl also worked with Hawkman exclusively, and even supported his work when he joined the Justice League of America, though it took until Justice League of America #146 (September, 1977) for her to be inducted into the JLA. Soon after, Hawkman and Hawkgirl got involved in the Rann-Thanagar War (in Showcase #101-103 from June to August, 1978), and that conflict which had the Hawks exiled from their homeworld caused friction between the couple, which also led to Shayera to change her identity from Hawkgirl to Hawkwoman in World's Finest Comics #272 in October, 1981 by Bob Rozakis and Alex Saviuk, though the couple patched things up soon after halting the Rann-Thanagar War (for a time).
The Thanagarians were more blood thirsty after their war, but raged their war as a more silent, shadow war, which kept the Hawks busy during their 17 issue series in the mid-1980s, and up until they faced two other alien threats to Earth, with the Millennium and Invasion! (along with joining the newest version of the Justice League, the Justice League International, after which they pretty much completely disappeared (this, due to an editorial decision at DC, which led to the newest Hawkwoman, and years of confusion for Hawkman fans!).
Hawkworld Hawkwoman
Shayera Thal owes her existence to an accident, and not just the one that killed the original Shayera Thal in Tim Truman's 1989 Hawkworld mini-series (though that wasn't the Silver Age Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman). When Hawkworld #1 (June, 1990 by John Ostrander and Graham Nolan) appeared, it was the first appearance of the new Hawkwoman, Shayera Thal (though she was in the mini-series as a civilian, and revealed to be the illegitimate daughter of Chief Wingman Andar Pul), who was a Thanagarian police officer, coming to Earth for the first time, with her single partner, Katar Hol, soon after the events of the Hawkworld mini-series (and yet, after Invasion!), looking for the escaped shape-changer, Byth (who also was coming to Earth for the first time), and using their advanced Thanagarian tech to fight crime (which included flying and blasters).
Being new to Earth, Hawkwoman (and Hawkman) had problems with the local heroes (who had just fought Thanagarian Hawkmen in Invasion!), as well as Earth losing its pair of Hawkmen and a Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman (explained as the original Hawkman and Hawkgirl taking the place of the Silver Age pair up to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, then a Thanagarian double agent taking Hawkman's place, recruiting Earth girl, Sharon, as his Hawkwoman, and his wife....see Hawkworld Annual #1 of 1990 and Hawkworld #23 of May, 1992 for the confusing details, including how the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl seemed to have access to Thanagarian technology).
Be that as it may, Shayera Thal was getting use to life on Earth, and being a hero (and slowly getting to like Katar), and even using crossovers like the War of the Gods to make new friends (like Wonder Woman), though some people, like Eclipso, got in her head (during Eclipso: The Darkness Within). Hawkman and Hawkwoman even got exiled from their Thanagar, coming to stay on Earth as heroes on their own, getting updated costumes....and were fine on Earth, until Zero Hour: Crisis on Time of 1994, where this new Hawkman, the original Hawkman, and the original Hawkgirl all merged (and all of the original Hawkman's past lives got a lot louder in Hawkman's head). This also made Hawkman the only possessor of the Thanagarian Nth-metal (which allowed the Hawks to fly), so Shayera was left without her wings (and sadly, mostly abandoned by Hawkman). Hawkman did finally join the Justice League America, eventually disappearing himself soon after Underworld Unleashed and an encounter with Vandal Savage (who took credit for killing many of the original Hawkman's reincarnated selves).
Hawkwoman did return, after the original Hawkman returned, and Shayera also worked with the new Hawkgirl, at least until a new Rann-Thanagarian War, which spelled the end of Shayera Thal Hawkwoman....
....but, more details of that to follow, as we meet the more current Hawkgirl!
JSA Hawkgirl
Kendra Saunders was a troubled young girl, so much so that she tried to kill herself, and she was almost successful, but then came back as Hawkgirl! Premiering in JSA Secret Files #1 (August, 1999, by James Robinson, David Goyer and Scott Benefiel), we learn that Kendra was the granddaughter of Speed Saunders (an adventurer who premiered in Detective Comics #1 of March, 1937)...
...and that he saved Kendra (though she did die for a time, and that allowed the soul of Shiera Hall into her body), with Speed realizing what had happened after Kendra awoke in the hospital. Speed gave her a set of Sheira's old wings, inspiring the young girl to be Hawkgirl. She soon joined the reforming JSA (which included as members the second Black Canary, Nuklon as Atom-Smasher and the original Flash and Wildcat) as they faced the wizard, Mordru, and continued to distinguish herself as a member of the team, including during the Day of Judgment.
Hawkgirl ended up being taken to Thanagar to face Onimar Synn, who proclaimed himself an eater of souls, who was using the Thanagarian Nth metal to control the population of the planet. With the help of the current JSA, Hawkgirl frees the people of Thanagar, and helps in the return of the original Hawkman, Carter Hall (who still possesses echos of his previous lives, but not Shiera Hall, nor the Hawkworld Katar Hol, with Carter's return being chronicled in JSA #23 to #25 of 2001 by David Goyer, Geoff Johns, Stephen Sadowski and Michael Bair). Carter tells Kendra of his and Shiera's eternal love, and keeps trying to convince her they belong together, but Kendra isn't sure, feeling their relationship is more complicated.
The pair move to St. Roch, Louisiana, following a lead on the death of Kendra's parents, and the Hawks settle there for a time (along the way, discovering more about their past lives and each other, like how old West incarnations Nighthawk and Cinnamon, had met in St. Roch, and we learn that Nighthawk was the one who originally killed Jim Craddock, the Gentleman Ghost.....), joining the Justice League of America at this time (in JLA #71 of early October, 2002, with Green Arrow, Atom, Firestorm, Nightwing and others), as well as fighting Helene Astar (who had killed Silver Scarab a.k.a. Hector Hall son of the original Hawkman and Hawkgirl in Infinity, Inc. #42 to #44, and was thought to be the modern reincarnation of Hath-Set, who faced Silver Scarab, and later, the Hawkworld Hawkman in Hawkman #21 and Hawkman Annual #2), and finding Kendra's parents' killer.
Hawkgirl even met the Hawkworld Hawkwoman in Hawkman #14 thru #17 (June to September, 2003), where Shayera learned that the Katar she loved was dead, with Carter, Kendra, Shayera and Animal Man capturing shape-changer Byth who was loose on Earth again, and then Kendra encountered Shayera again during he Rann-Thanagar War 6 issue mini-series of 2005, where Hawkwoman sadly lost her life, just before the Infinite Crisis, with Kendra and Carter, for a time accepting one another.
After the Infinite Crisis, Kendra does what no Hawkgirl before her ever did, getting her own title! Running from Hawkgirl #50 (May, 2006, taking over the numbering of the Hawkman series), and lasting until Hawkgirl #66 (September, 2007), with Hawkgirl finally dealing with Hath-Set, and settling if it was Shiera Hall or Kendra Saunders in charge, letting Kendra be in control of her own life going forward.
Kendra continued onward as Hawkgirl..
....at least until the Blackest Night event, where she perished in Blackest Night #1 (September, 2009)...
...but continued to menace the world as an undead Black Lantern through the rest of that eight issue series.
The Original Hawkgirl Returns
All of this history led to the return of the original Hawkgirl, Shiera Sanders-Hall, in Brightest Day #1 (Early July 2010), finally reunited with her Hawkman, Carter Hall, where they continued to fight for us all, facing off with Hath-Set one last time, as well as Chay-Ara's mother (Queen of Thanagar Khea Taramka, also known as Queen Shrike) and learned how Thanagar had been an influence in the original ancient Egyptian life of Khufu and Chay-Ara, until the DC Universe got a reset with Flashpoint, and we eventually got a new Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman in the New 52.
Hawkgirl is a great example of reincarnation and karma..
...truly showing what goes around, comes around, and how true love can be eternal!

The Early Life of Vandal Savage
Vandal Savage has been around a long time, not only because he's a caveman who was made immortal by a meteor strike, but he's been appearing in comic books since the days of the 1940s, with two Golden Age appearance, first in Green Lantern #10 (Winter, 1943 by Alfred Bester and Martin Nodell) and then, as a member of the Injustice Society of the World in All-Star Comics #37 (October-November, 1947 by Robert Kanigher and a small army of artists). One of the claims Vandal Savage made during these appearances is that he caused trouble all over the globe in early eras....so, let's take a look at a few of those troubles!
Savage in China
First stop....China, in 1927. With the four issue mini-series, Guns of the Dragon (October, 1998 to January, 1999, written and drawn by Tim Truman), we see Vandal Savage hanging out on "Dragon Island" (later to be known as Dinosaur Island, starting with Star-Spangled War Stories #90), where he faced off against aging cowboy, Bat Lash (whose wild west adventures started with Showcase #76), German World War I fighting Enemy Ace, Hans Von Hammer (who fought the allies in World War I starting with Our Army At War #151), Biff Bradley (a relative of Slam Bradley, a detective that first appeared back in the original Detective Comics #1).
While there, they face Communist forces, as well as Miss Fear (a female fighter pilot who would go on to later face Blackhawk starting with Modern Comics #49) and Kung (a shape-changing soldier who worked with Baron Blitzkrieg, Tsunami and Sumo the Samurai against the All-Star Squadron in World War II, but first appeared fighting Wonder Woman in World War II flashback tales in Wonder Woman #237).
A truly joyous little series for dinosaur fans, fans of cowboy and war comics, and fans of Tim Truman, as well!
Vandal in Ancient Egypt
All roads once led to ancient Egypt, and that was never more true than in JSA #42 to #44 (January to March, 2003), when writers David Goyer and Geoff Johns, along with penciller Leonard Kirk and inker Keith Champagne, took the modern day JSA back in time to the Egyptian 15th Dynasty looking for Captain Marvel, but find the Egyptian time Vandal Savage, along with Teth-Adam (the man who would become Black Adam, starting with Marvel Family #1), Nabu the Wise (the mentor who made Kent Nelson into Dr. Fate as of More Fun Comics #55), Ahk-Ton (a priest who used the Orb of Ra to become a Metamorph, and had faced Batman and the Outsiders including Metamorpho first in Batman and the Outsiders #17) and Prince Khufu and Lady Chay-Ara (the lovers who were later destined to be Hawkman and Hawkgirl, starting in Flash Comics #1 for Hawkman, and Flash Comics #24 and JSA Secret Files #1 for Hawkgirls!).
So Many Troubles
Vandal Savage was very active in the later 20th Century, heading up his own Illumunati group, quietly plotting to control the world, and, over the course of the eight issue Time Masters mini-series of February to September, 1990 by writers Bob Wayne and Lewis Shiner, penciller Art Thibert and inker Jose Marzan Jr., we found out how active Vandal Savage was in the past as well.
Fresh off his post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reintroduction in Booster Gold, Rip Hunter began dealing with the problems of time travel (making him a slightly different character than the Rip Hunter who was a member of the Forgotten Heroes), Rip started to recruit his new Time Masters, starting with Bonnie Baxter and Jeffrey Smith, and even dealt with many modern day heroes in quick cameos, including the Metal Men's Doc Magnus, Booster Gold and the Justice League America, Superman, Animal Man and Green Lantern Hal Jordan (and dealt a little with how the Crisis had changed how they travel in time and who they knew as well).
As the series progressed, Rip recruited Bonnie's younger brother (who found out one of the problems of post-Crisis time travel, that it was a one-shot deal), spelunker Cave Carson, Rip's cousin Dan Hunter, petty thief and computer expert Tony (Antonia)....
...and as various people went back in time, they encountered various historical DC characters in the appropriate eras as well.
Starting with September, 1874 in Time Masters #3, Jeff Smith encountered scarred Southern Civil War veteran Jonah Hex (who first appeared in All-Star Western #10), Indian garbed lawman Scalphunter (a.k.a. Brian Savage and Ke-Woh-No-Tay, who saddled up first in Weird Western Tales #39), and gambler Bat Lash (earlier in his life, but after having met the previous two, but before leaving the States for China), working against Vandal Savage's plans against the president of the United States.
In 1770, it was Dan Hunter who had come back to that time in Time Masters #4, dealing with Tomahawk (a frontiersman, who had his first comic book adventure in Star-Spangled Comics #69), and plots of Lord Shilling (an English foe of Tomahawk's, who first later appeared in Tomahawk #28), and the early Illuminati plot to replace George Washington with Adam Weishaupt before he became the U.S. President! This tale also had Dan staying in 1770, to continue to help Tomahawk....(and, as of that first appearance of Tomahawk, he did have a partner named Dan Hunter!).
Time Masters #5 had Tony helping Jon the Viking Prince (who began his battle, swinging his sword against the forces of evil with Brave and the Bold #1) against Vandal Savage and his Knights Templar (earlier versions of the Illuminati), back in the days of 980 A.D.
Time Masters #6 saw Bonnie go back to ancient Egypt, helping Nabu (Dr. Fate's mentor) against the Illuminated Ones (the 2578 B.C. version of the Illuminati).
Time Masters #7 saw the crew meeting up with the mage Arion, the Lord of Atlantis (who first appeared back in Warlord #55), dealing with problems in the ancient city and keeping Arion's granddaughter, Kara, safe, as Rip had figured out another two ways to travel in time, allowing him and Jeff to go back, along with Cave Carson....
...and Rip used up his way back in time again in Time Masters #8, where he went back to the time when Vandal Savage was still caveman Vandal Adg, before the meteor hit....and learned some scary truths in the process, while Bonnie used her second chance to go forward and learn of the Illuminati's legacy.
Vandal Savage made many claims on being an important man in history, and, at least as far as these tales show, he was correct! He even was quite a menace to the future of the DC Universe, as Resurrection Man and DC One Million would show, but those are tales of the future....

Ralph "Rags" Morales é um desenhista americano, que se tornou conhecido mundialmente por seu trabalho na minissérie "Crise de Identidade", um crossover escrito pelo romancista Brad Meltzer e lançado pela DC Comics originalmente em 2004.

Biografia
Em 2002 Morales, um ex-aluno da The Kubert School, foi anunciado como o desenhista da revista Hawkman, que iria reintroduzir o personagem Gavião Negro no Universo DC. Morales acompanhou o escritor Geoff Johns quando este saiu da revista e foi pouco depois anunciado como o desenhista de Crise de Identidade, uma minissérie em sete edições que se tornou um expressivo sucesso de crítica e público. Sobre a série, disse: "Você não pode contar uma boa história sem bons personagens, e Identity Crisis abriu os corações e mentes dos heróis que conhecemos e também iluminou aqueles que deveríamos conhecer". A série foi selecionada pela The Young Adult Library Services Association em uma lista de obras mais recomendadas para leitores adolescentes publicada em 2007.

Após Crise de Identidade, Morales trabalhou com o Peter Tomasi enquanto este escreveu a revista Nightwing - protagonizada pelo personagem Dick Grayson, o primeiro Robin, que, adulto, adotou a identidade de "Asa Noturna" - e com Michael Green durante quatro edições da revista Superman/Batman

Em junho de 2011, como parte do relançamento de toda a sua linha editorial, a DC Comics anunciou que relançaria a revista Action Comics sob uma nova edição "#1" após mais de 70 anos de publicação contínua, e Morales seria o desenhista, ao lado do escritor Grant Morrison.
