I love these running pants, I wore them for a race yesterday and got a ton of comments on them. :D I would love if Fabletics did offer a petite length however because they are a bit too long for me as I'm only 5'.
Very cute and comfy . Fits my curves perfectly!
Like the high waist, it stays in place!
I was skeptical about this print at first but I love them so much now! They've definitely grown on me.
The printed is beautiful super comfortable and excellent quality. It fits very well if you are between sizes choose it smaller because its a little bit big like half size. I'm in loved with it.
Absolutely love this legging. It lifts and holds everything perfectly. These have become one of my favorite pairs and I always get compliments on them.
Love my high waisted leggings!
It fits very good, I am 5'4", 150 pounds and ordered a S. They stretch, the prints is beautiful. The fabric is soft, I run and I don't feel my pants, also the high waisted is great. Will buy more and more.

New York, New York, June 2015 – Designer, entertainment and style icon, Jessica Simpson, introduces the newest scent to her fragrance portfolio, Jessica Simpson TEN, which is part of a limited edition capsule collection to commemorate the tenth anniversary of her eponymous billion-dollar fashion and lifestyle empire. A follow-up to her highly successful Jessica Simpson Signature release in 2014, Jessica Simpson TEN draws inspiration from her success as a designer and journey as a businesswoman over the past decade.
"Your life is the story you tell the world - Jessica Simpson TEN tells my story. I am humbled when I think back to where we started and all we have accomplished. This fragrance was created in the spirit of celebration and the confidence I feel when I look ahead at all I still hope to accomplish," says Simpson.
To develop a new scent to represent her decade of influence the singer-turned-mogul worked in collaboration with perfumer, Marypiere Julien, of Givaudan, to create the complex new fragrance. Simpson has always had a special way of connecting with people on a down-to-earth level and this fragrance is a way of sharing her story with all women, making them feel confident in exactly who they are. Jessica Simpson TEN captivates the senses with fruity notes of clementine, starfruit, nectarine, plum and watery fruits. The body of the fragrance encompasses powerful floral bouquets of frangipani, night blooming jasmine, orange flower and tiger lily. A base of vanilla, white chocolate bean accord, sandalwood, tonka bean and driftwood provide a sophisticated and feminine undertone to the scent.
The Jessica Simpson TEN bottle radiates with accents of shimmering gold while the packaging introduces a bohemian sensibility with craft-paper detailing, mirroring the tenth anniversary theme. A single, elegant matte white feather graces the top of the bottle; a symbol of the brand's free spirited style and sense of modern Americana. "The feather represents truth and lightness and is symbolic for me; it has become an icon we are carrying throughout the collection," notes Simpson. An ad campaign was shot in the California desert at Club Ed, the same location of the collection's very first campaign ten years ago. Shot by renowned photographer, Michael Thompson, the campaign captures the spirit of the anniversary and essence of Simpson's sultry bohemian style.
"Jessica Simpson TEN commemorates a decade of success that Jessica has had in building her thriving fashion and lifestyle brand. We have seen Jessica's line evolve into the empire that it is today, and are excited to continue our partnership as we embark on this markedly special tenth anniversary year," said Don Loftus of Parlux Fragrances, Inc.
Jessica Simpson TEN will be available online and in-store at Macy's, Dillard's, Belk and other fine retailers nationwide in September 2015.

Obstetrics by Ten Teachers is a great book that remains for about 100 & more. The authors are really doing awesome and worked hard to release this book.
Teachers in 1917 under the editorship of Comyns Berkeley (Obstetric and Gynaecological Surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital), the book is now in its 20th edition and has reached a landmark centenary,cementing its place as one of the oldest, most respected and most popular English language texts on the subject.
As editors who were once students and readers of this textbook, we fully appreciate the responsibility of revising a much-loved classic. Befitting of the next century, the book has been almost completely rewritten by 'Ten Teachers', all internationally renowned experts in their fields and all intimately involved in the delivery of both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the UK and Ireland, to reflect the current undergraduate curriculum.
This volume has been edited carefully to ensure consistency of structure, style and level of detail, in common with those of its sister text Gynaecology by Ten Teachers. The books can therefore be used together or independently as required.
and in the hope that it will be useful to them afterwards and to others who have passed beyond the stage of examination.

Following the appearance of hundreds of posters supporting the presidential candidacy of Field Marshal Tantawi, an anonymous military official close to the SCAF insisted that the military council had "nothing at all to do with this campaign" and claimed that "we are committed to handing power over to civilians." As Islamist parties continue to expand their influence, amember of the Salafi Nour Party, Abdel Moneim al-Shahat, said that voting for Islamist candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections "is a religious obligation." Meanwhile, in an escalation of the SCAF's crackdown on NGOs, the Cairo Court of Appeals agreed to investigate alleged secret bank accounts and companies providing funds to 75 Egyptian and international civil society groups in addition to 40 private individuals.
Non-commissioned police officers agreed to end their sit-in in front of the Interior Ministry peacefully, according to a security source, after Minister of Interior Mansour El-Essawy met with representatives of the protesters and promised to meet their demands for fair promotions, better healthcare, a shorter work day, higher wages, and the "cleansing" of the ministry of former regime loyalists. Meanwhile, judges as well as lawyers have been staging intermittent strikes over the past two weeks in an escalating crisis provoked by a controversial draft law on judicial authority that would give judges broad powers to dismiss lawyers from courtrooms for disrespectful conduct.
The Coalition of the Revolution Youth is calling for a "Friday of defending the revolution" on October 28 to demand a transfer of power to an elected civilian government by April 2012. Meanwhile, low-ranking policemen continued their sit-in for a third day straight outside of Interior Ministry directorates in Cairo and other provinces, demanding improved working conditions and the dismissal of ministry officials connected to the former regime.


This app has been great and helped out a ton. I'm getting a little frustrated with the way they label carbs on the recipes though. For example: the Keto bagels say 5 grams of carbs on the cover of the recipe, however if you go to log one serving size of a bagel it doubles. I've noticed this with other recipes as well, anyone else?
Me too. I'm brand new here and struggling to understand how the meal plan works and I don't know where to get any FAQ or instruction about it. So like one dinner says it makes 6 servings, but then higher up it says 6 servings (per plate) and they are 2 each apparently. So is it a 12g meal? Do I need to double the recipe to feed my husband too? How will it calculate into my grocery list if I add it again to lunch the next day, and will there even be enough leftovers for lunch? I'm so confused with this app right now and have no idea how to learn it!
Ashkova , I haven't run into that issue yet. Staying under the daily limit of carbs this has set for me has given me great results. I just hate getting excited for foods and then finding out it's double the carbs as advertised😡.


Aphids seem to like roses as much or more than we do. This is a guide about getting rid of aphids on roses.
I have aphids on my roses and want to know the soap to water ratio for mix.
According to Colorado State University you want a 2% solution of dish soap to water, for example add 4 teaspoons of dish soap to a quart of water. See documentation at http://www.ext.  sect/05547.html/ for complete article and a chart of dilutions.
Aphids are invading my roses, anything organic that I can use? Tips from the ThriftyFun community.
Try washing them off with the garden hose first. A few high-pressure bursts of water will dislodge most of them. You can support the stems with your hand while spraying if you're worried about them breaking. You may need to spray them every other day for awhile to eliminate them.
Otherwise, use a safe, commercial insecticidal soap or make your own with 1 tbsp liquid dish soap and two cups of water.
Strong smelling roots and spices such as garlic, onions, horseradish, ginger, rhubarb leaves, cayenne and other hot peppers, are all known to repel insects. To add any one (or all) of these to your spray, chop them finely and put them into a glass jar. Add 2 cups of boiling water, cover tightly and let everything stand over night. The next day, strain off the liquid and add your dish soap. Freeze any leftover mix to use the next time.
This is the simplest one to fix. Mix soap, not detergent, with water and mix it up. Spay over roses and aphids are history. Dish soap is just fine.
My mother used to work as a secretary at Ohio State University in the botany department. She once heard that planting onions around roses keep aphids away. She had a miniature rose bush and placed a pot of chives (onion family) near it and the aphids left, never to return! The professors gave her a good-natured teasing about that one, but it sure worked!
I know of two methods that both work well. One is ladybugs, they eat aphids. The other is rubbing alcohol. Now if it's the entire plant you'll want to dilute it and put the mixture in a spray bottle but if it's for just a few leaves on a plant you can dab a cotton ball in the rubbing alcohol and swab the leaves.
You can buy lady bugs at most garden centers. They come in little containers and when you open it you have hundreds of them flying around.
I've thought of the ladybugs, but have only seen them in groups of 1,500. Imagine that many bugs in your yard! Eeks. I might try the soap route next.

Bunty Aur Babli Review
2005 27 May 2005
No critic reviews yet
Shaad Ali
Bunty Aur Babli , released in 2005, is an Indian Bollywood crime-comedy filmdirected by Shaad Ali and starring Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles. Amitabh Bachchan stars in a supporting role. It was the first film to feature both Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan, and featured guest appearances by Aishwarya Rai and Tania Zaetta. It was one of the biggest hits of the year. The film draws comparisons to the American classic "Bonnie and Clyde", however there are no dark elements in it. In fact, there is minimal violence and the characters do not die a bloody death, unlike their American counterparts. The robberies committed were usually to teach a lesson or exact revenge for some previous altercation.Wikipedia

Form Design and Form Objects
Home > Programmers' Reference > Scripting Editor > Forms >
Designing a Form consists of the following steps:
• Placing an object from the Form Object Palette in the Form design.
• Assigning values for the properties of individual Form Objects.
• Assigning scripts for Form-based events.
The Form Object Palette
The Form Object Palette contains all the objects that are available for designing Forms and looks something like the screenshot below. Registered ActiveX controls can be added to the Form Object Palette by right-clicking the pane and selecting the Add ActiveX Control command
To insert an object from the Form Object Palette click the object you want in the palette, then click at the location in the Form where you wish to insert the object. The object will be placed at this location. In many cases you will need to supply some properties of the object via the Properties and Events pane. You can drag the object to other locations as well as resize it. Further, a number of editing commands, such as centering and stacking objects, can be accessed via the context menu of the selected Form object.
Some Form objects, such as Timer, are not added to the Form but are created as Tray Components in a tray at the bottom of the Main Window. You can select the object in the tray and set properties and event handlers for the object via the Properties and Events pane. For an example of how Tray Components are handled, see Form usage and commands.
Some of the most commonly used objects are described below:
Label: Adds text fields such as captions or field descriptions.
Button: Adds a button. It is possible to assign bitmaps as background images for these buttons.
Check Box: Adds a check box, which enables Yes/No type selections.
Combo Box: Adds a combo box, which allows the user to select an option from a drop-down menu.
List Box: Adds a list box, which displays a list of items for selection.
TextBox: Enables the user to enter a single line of text.
Rich TextBox: Enables the user to enter multiple lines of text.
Creating objects and setting their properties
To create an object in the Form, first select the required object in the Form Object Palette and then click the location in the Form where you want to insert it. After the object has been inserted, you can resize it as well as drag it to another location in the Form.
When an object is selected in the design, you can specify its properties in the Properties and Events pane. In the toolbar of the Properties and Events pane, click the Properties icon to display a list of the object's properties.
For example, in the screenshot below, the Label object with the text Start Date has been selected in the design. In the Properties and Events pane, the name of the object (which is the name that is to be used to identify the object in code, Label1 in the screenshot below) is given in the Design category of properties; in this case, the name of the object is Label1.
The text of the label (which is what appears in the Form) must be entered as the value of the Text property in the Appearance category of properties.
To assign other object properties, enter values for them in the Properties and Events pane.
Testing a Form
You can test a form in the Scripting Editor by right-clicking it in the Project Overview pane and selecting the Test Form Command.

The Three Brother Beasts
Esther Singleton May 19, 2019
There was, once upon a time, a King of a country called Verdecolle, who had three daughters, each one more lovely than the other. The three sons of the neighbouring King of Velprato fell very much in love with these beauties, but just as the weddings were going to come off, the three Princes fell under the power of a wicked Fairy, who turned them all into different animals; and the father of the Princesses very naturally refused in consequence to let his daughters marry
Thereupon the eldest Prince, who had been changed into an Eagle with magic power, summoned all the birds of the air to his aid. They came in swarms — sparrows, larks, thrushes, starlings, and every other bird you can think of ; and the Eagle commanded them to devastate the whole country, not leaving a leaf or blossom on any tree.
The second Prince, who had been changed into a Stag, called the goats, rabbits, hares, pigs, and all the other four-footed beasts, and ordered them to lay waste all the fields and ploughed land, and not to leave a single root or blade of grass.
The third Prince, who had been changed into a Dolphin, assembled all the monsters of the deep, and raised such a storm on the coasts of the country, that all the ships and trading vessels were lost and shattered to pieces.
When the King saw that the only way to put an end to these troubles and disasters was to give the
three Beasts his daughters in marriage, he gave in at last, though with much foreboding and many tears.
When the Eagle, the Stag, and the Dolphin arrived to carry their brides off, their mother gave each of the Princesses a ring, saying as she did so: " My dear daughters, keep these rings carefully and always wear them, for if you separate and do not meet again for many years, or if at any time you come across any one of your own blood, you will always recognise each other by these talismans."
So they took their departure and set out on their different ways. The Eagle carried Fabiella, who was the eldest sister, off to a lofty mountain above the clouds, where it never rained, but the sun shone perpetually, and here he gave her a magnificent palace, and treated her like a queen.
The Stag bore Vasta, the second sister, away with him, right into the heart of a dark wood, and here he lived with her in the most beautiful house and garden you can imagine. The Dolphin swam with Rita, who was the youngest sister, on his back, right across the sea, till he came to a huge rock, and on the rock stood a house in which three crowned kings might have lived in comfort and luxury.
In the meantime, the Queen gave birth to a beautiful little boy, whom she called Tittone. When he was fifteen years old he determined to set out into the world and seek tidings of his three sisters, for his mother did nothing but bewail their loss and the unhappy fate which had given them three Beasts for their husbands. At first his father and mother could not be prevailed on to let him go, but at length they yielded to his entreaties, and, having provided him with a suitable escort and with a ring the same as his sisters, they took a tender farewell of him. So the young Prince set forth on his travels, and wandered for many. years through all the different countries of the world without ever coming on a trace of the three Princesses. At last one day he came to the mountain where Fabiella and the Eagle lived, and when he saw their palace Tittone stood still, lost in admiration of its marble pillars and alabaster walls, its windows of crystal and roof of glittering gold.
As soon as Fabiella saw him she called him to her and asked him who he was, where he came from, and what business had led him thither. When the Prince had described his native land, his father and his mother, and answered all the Princess's questions, Fabiella recognised him as her brother, and she became quite certain of the fact when she compared his ring with the one she always wore. She embraced her brother tenderly; but, fearful lest her husband should object to his arrival, she hid him in a cup board. When the Eagle came home that evening Fabiella confided to him that she was very home-sick, and that she had been suddenly seized with a strong desire to see her own people once more. The Eagle answered: " Try and get over this wish, my dear wife, for it cannot be fulfilled till I become a man again." "Well, then," said Fabiella, "if it is impossible for me to go to them, let us invite one of my relations to come and visit us here." "With all my heart," replied the Eagle, "but I don't think anyone would take the trouble to come such a long way to see you."
"But suppose someone had come, and was in the palace at this moment, would you object? " asked his wife. " Of course not," answered the Eagle. " Any relation of yours would be as dear to me as the apple of my eye."
When Fabiella heard these words she took heart, and, going to the cupboard, she opened it, and showed the Eagle her brother hidden there. The Eagle greeted him warmly, and said: "You are most welcome, and it is a great pleasure to me to make your acquaintance. I hope you will consider yourself quite at home in my palace, and ask for anything you want." And he gave orders that everything was to be done for the comfort and entertainment of his brother-in-law.
But after Tittone had stayed on the mountain for a fortnight, he remembered that he had still to find his other two sisters. He therefore asked his sister and her husband for permission to depart from their hospitable roof; but before bidding him farewell, the Eagle gave him one of his feathers, saying as he did so: "Take this feather, dear Tittone, and treasure it carefully, for it will be of great use to you someday. If any misfortune should overtake you, throw it on the ground, and call out ' Help, help!' and I will come to you."
Tittone took the feather and put it carefully away in his purse; then he took a tender leave of his sister and the Eagle, thanking them a thousand times for their goodness and hospitality to him.
After a long and weary journey he came at length to the wood where the Stag lived with Vasta; and as he was nearly starving with hunger he went into the garden and began to eat the fruit he found there. His sister soon noticed him and recognised him, in the same way that Fabiella had done; she hastened to introduce him to her husband, who received him in the most friendly manner, and entertained him sumptuously. After spending a fortnight with Vasta and her husband, Tittone determined to set out and look for his third sister; but before his departure the Stag gave him one of his hairs with the same words that the Eagle had spoken when he gave him one of his feathers to guard carefully.
So Tittone departed on his way, and with the money the Eagle and Stag had given him he wandered to the uttermost parts of the world, where the sea at last put an end to his travels by land, and he was obliged to take ship and search through the islands for his third sister. At length, after many days, he came to the rock where Rita lived with the Dolphin. Hardly had he stepped on land when his sister perceived him and recognised him at once, as the others had done. His brother-in-law gave him a warm welcome, and when, after a short time, Tittone expressed his desire to return home once more to his father and mother, the Dolphin gave him one of his scales with the same words that the Eagle and Stag had spoken when they gave him the feather and hair.
"With a terrible-looking dragon at her feet." Illustration by Charles B. Falls, published in The Wild Flower Fairy Book by Esther Singleton (1905), Dodd, Mead, and Company.
So the young Prince took ship again, and when he reached the land be mounted a horse and rode on his way. But he had hardly ridden a mile from the coast when he came to a gloomy wood overgrown with thick brushwood and rank weeds. The Prince forced his way through it as best he could, and at last reached a lake with a high stone tower in the middle of it, at one of the windows of which sat a lovely maiden with a terrible-looking Dragon asleep at her feet. As soon as she perceived the Prince, she called out in a pitiful voice: " Oh! beautiful youth, Heaven has sent you to rescue me from my sad fate; I implore you to free me from the clutches of this horrible monster, who has carried me away from my father, the King of Merovalle, and has shut me up in this gloomy tower, where I am nearly dead with loneliness and terror."
"Woe is me," answered the Prince, " but what can I do to help you, lovely maiden, for what mortal could ever cross that lake? and who could face this terrible Dragon, who spreads terror and desolation wherever he goes? But wait a little, perhaps I may be able to summon other help to your aid." And with these words he threw the feather, the hair, and the scale, which his three brothers-in~law had given him, on the ground, calling out at the same time: " Help! help! help!" In a moment the Eagle, the Stag, and the Dolphin appeared before him, and cried in one voice: " Here we are. What are your commands? " Tittone, who was overjoyed at their appearance, exclaimed: " I desire that this poor Princess should be freed from the clutches of that Dragon, and that I should carry her home with me as my bride."
"Very well," answered the Eagle, " all shall be done as you desire"; and turning to the Stag he said, "let us lose no time, but let us strike while the iron is hot ! " With these words the Eagle gave a shrill cry, and in one moment the air was black with a flight of vultures, who flew into the window of the tower, and seizing the beautiful Princess, they bore her over to the spot where the Prince and his brothers-in-law stood. And if the maiden looked as fair as the moon in the distance, when you saw her near she was as beautiful and radiant as the sun. But while Tittone was embracing her, and saying all manner of pretty things to his fair bride, the Dragon awoke, and flying out of the window he set upon Tittone, intending to kill him on the spot. But in a second the Stag caused a quantity of lions, tigers,panthers, bears, and wild cats to appear, who sprang upon the Dragon and tore him to pieces with their claws.
When Tittone and the Princess saw that their enemy was dead for ever, they determined to leave the place as soon as possible, but before they started the Dolphin said: " I too would like to do something for you." And in order that no trace should remain of the grim castle where the Princess had spent such unhappy hours, he caused the waters of the lake to overflow, and to beat so violently against the tower that it fell, and the ruins disappeared in the waves. Tittone thanked his brothers-in-law warme for having thus rescued his beautiful bride, but the Beasts replied: " Our thanks are rather due to the Princess, because it is through her that we are able once more to assume our human forms. At our births, a wicked Fairy, who owed our mother a grudge, condemned us, when we grew up, to go about the world in the shape of three beasts, until we should have rescued a King's daughter from some great danger; the longed—for moment has come at last, and already we feel new life in our breasts and fresh blood flowing through our veins," and even as they were speaking, they turned into three beautiful young men, who, each in turn, embraced their brother-in-law, and made low bows to the Princess, who was nearly beside herself with joy and amazement. Then Tittone spoke with a sigh: "Ah! why can my poor father and mother not share this joy with us? What would they not give to see three such charming and beautiful sons-in-law?"
"We will go to them at once," answered the three Princes; " but first we must go and fetch our wives, so let us lose no time in setting forth on our journey." But as they could not go on foot, and as they had no means of conveyance, except Tittone's one old horse, the brothers commanded a chariot to appear drawn by four lions, in which they all five seated themselves.
They travelled all through the night, and with such speed that they came next day to the various places where the wives of the three Beast brothers were waiting for them. After much rejoicing and embracing, the whole eight of them continued their journey to the King dom of Verdecolle, where the King and Queen received their long-lost children—with what joy you can imagine! which was only. increased when they perceived their sons-in-law in their human shape, and the beautiful bride Tittone had brought back with him. They sent at once to tell the Kings of Velprato and Merovalle of the good fortune that had befallen their children, and invited them to a feast, the like of which for splendour and magnificence had never been seen before, and all the woes and troubles of the past were forgotten in the rejoicing and merrymaking of the present.

RETRO REVIEW: Rai #0 (November 1992)
By Matthew Peterson March 10, 2013 Updated: January 1, 2014 3 Comments5 Mins Read
Or – "A Blueprint For What Once Was…"
With my recent review of the new Valiant's take on Shadowman, I started remembering the fun that was the old Valiant universe, a time when future and past tied together, when Solar was (slightly) less of a jerk, back when the speculators were around but hadn't quite destroyed the entire comics industry yet. It was a time of world-building, and from that instinct came this issue… Your Major Spoilers retro review awaits!
RAI #0
Writer(s): Bob Layton (plot; script); Jim Shooter (plot); David Lapham (plot); Jon Hartz (plot)
Penciler: David Lapham
Inker: Tom Ryder
Colorist: Dave Chlystek; Knob Row (additional colors)
Letterer: Jade Moede
Publisher: Valiant Comics
Previously, in Rai: Jim Shooter began writing comics at the tender age of 13, sending plots to Mort Weisinger for the Legion of Super-Heroes. Interestingly, his magnum opus on that title included what has become known as the "Adult Legion" story, where the future of the LSH was revealed to Superman and the readers, shaping the course of the book for the better part of two decades. It became de rigueur to take bits of that future history and either flesh out or subvert the Adult Legion tales, and eventually the whole thing was written off as an alternate reality. (Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen, at least, found the idea of a predestined future to be a bit constricting for their stories.) Years later, Shooter was on his own after a lengthy tenure as Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, and was once again in the mood for some world-building. We open with a young man named Geoff, the latest in a long line of Geomancers, sneaking his way into a remote hospital facility…
Jeff's actions allow the "Blood Of Heroes" (nanite-infested blood that will eventually become the birthright of the line of heroes called Rai) to turn the brain-dead body of Angelo Mortalli into Bloodshot, the hero whose name is both about guns and about bleeding, making him extra-90s. Geoff continues to try to safeguard the heroic tradition and the Blood of Heroes, trying to mobilize Bloodshot and other heroes to fight against Toyo Harada, Master Darque and others. Time continues to pass, and quickly this book leaps into what was then the far-future year 1999!
Shadowman's demise in 1999 was locked into Valiant's continuity, one of the more fascinating bits of storytelling in early VH1 issues, but sadly, this incarnation of Valiant wouldn't make it until the end of the century. By the year 2020, a middle-aged Geoff has to team up with a grown-up Obadiah Archer to save his former partner Armstrong from being dissected by the Harbinger Corporation. It does not go well for all involved…
The final fate of Archer & Armstrong is pretty chilling, but the story continues on, following up with the chilling end of Bloodshot circa 2028…
With the death of Bloodshot, Geoff had lost the blood of heroes, as the villainous Ax had drained the very essence from Bloodshot's corpse. (Eww.) Of course, Geoff himself was an old man by the year 2062, when we are borne witness to the final fate of X-O Manowar.
With the armor out of action, its wearer, Aric, then sacrificed himself to end the threat of Toyo Harada forever, cleaving the telepath in twain with his broadsword. Unfortunately, Harada was able to transfer his mind into another body before escaping, setting up Harada as essentially immortal.
The "Solar splits in two" plot was continued in the unforgivably terrible Image Comics/Valiant Comics crossover, Deathmate, not long after. (Before you ask, I don't think there's enough bourbon in the world for me to Retro Review that, even if it meant cookies afterwards.) Hundreds of years pass, during which Harada is finally defeated by the great-great-grandsomething of Peter Stanchek, while the Blood of Heroes travelled from hand to hand, eventually winding up in the clutches of the official protector of Japan circa the 36th Century.
By the time the story catches up to the "present" time of Valiant future books (Magnus, Robot Fighter and Rai were set in the year 4000), the entire floating city-state of Japan has been dropped to Earth, smashed to pieces by Rogue artificial intelligences. But even with that tragedy, there's still a need for heroes… a need for Rai!
As the issue ends, the latest (and last) Rai, Takao Konishi, has been infused with the Blood Of Heroes, and stands poised to take the world by storm. In the short-term, it totally worked, with Rai comics selling more than 500,000 copies per issue, but the speculator crash combined with the sale of Valiant to Acclaim led the original incarnation of Rai (and all the Valiant titles) to their demise by 1996. Still, no matter what came after, you can't help but love the intricate timeline posited by this book, explaining in brutal detail what happens to our favorite heroes when the get old, murdering many beloved characters ON-PANEL and refusing to bend to the vagaries of comic time. Though what came after didn't live up to the expectations set here (and, let's be honest, not a lot could), this book really showed what Valiant Comics was capable of. Rai #0 is a gem among the endless piles of chromium and die-cut 1990s comics, nailed the landing and setting a successful tone for an entire publishing line, earning 4 out of 5 stars overall. Thankfully, the revival of Valiant Comics seems to have helped the historical reputation of the original VH1 comics, and this one is among the most intriguing of them all…

This would kill the opening of the dispensary. Tonight there was a meeting to cover the bylaw and the dispensary at the District offices and just the second planning meeting I've attended. There was standing room only in the meeting. The meeting started at 7pm. At 9pm after about 20 speakers I headed home, there were another 20 speakers to go. This was is what passes for controversy in Deep Cove.
At the risk of gross over simplification here's how I saw the camps.
There were a series of talks from users of medical marijuana. They provided moving and at times very emotional stories about how it's helped them and their loved ones overcome physical and mental issues.
Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said aside from the initial furor about the opening of the dispensary, he's received no complaints about the facility during the year it's been open.
A spokesperson for Ridge Meadows RCMP said there's no evidence the dispensary is a problem in Maple Ridge.
The general consensus and evidence is that dispensaries do not cause any of the problems that opponents claim. Why is the District behaving with this knee jerk reaction to such a place?
The dispensary is in a grey area. Others admit this, yet dispensaries still operate all across Canada.
There's not enough police. There's too many schools nearby, without any direct statement as to why this is a problem, guess we have to fill in the blanks. Extra points for the lady who mentioned a "pot shop". Traffic, because this will somehow get more traffic than a hardware shop.
I saw one ladies piece of paper and it had the words "drug dealers" written on it and underlined.
One point that I thought had the merit was the simple point of location. Deep Cove is a spectacularly bad location to be accessible from across the North Shore. Lonsdale or Marine Drive would be more suitable.
I could leave this meeting and be back within an hour with a bag of pot. Way easier than trying to get it from the dispensary.
In the meantime I'll return to my drug of choice - fine single malt scotch and continue watching season 2 of Weeds.

Home News Sanctions Profits From Nuclear Deal Assist Iran's Regional Hegemonic Ambitions
Profits From Nuclear Deal Assist Iran's Regional Hegemonic Ambitions
The Iranian regime has indeed expanded its military investment. In his article for Arab News, Dr. Majid Rafizadeh, Harvard-educated Iranian-American political scientist, leading expert on Iran and US foreign policy, and president of the International American Council explains the factors behind this.
He calls the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, a key issue — specifically the economic profits that came from the deal.
Over the last three years Iran's oil revenues have more than doubled, and trade between the regime's state-owned firms and European countries has brought in profits worth billions of dollars. Before the sanctions were lifted, Tehran was financially limited, but after 2015, Iran has had the funds to back groups that have become major players across the region.
According to Dr. Rafizadeh, "In Iraq, the Iranian regime currently supports at least 40 militia groups under the banner of the Popular Mobilization Forces. Some of these militias are known for committing war crimes, serious violations of international laws, and egregious crimes against humanity. After the nuclear deal, the Iranian leaders have even pushed and succeeded at making the Iraqi government officially recognize these militias and incorporate them into its political and security establishment."
He also asks that we consider another proxy of Iran: the Houthis. Dr. Rafizadeh says, "It was after the JCPOA that Iran significantly increased its financial and military assistance to the militia. And it was after the nuclear agreement that the Houthis became empowered and emboldened to such a level that they became capable of destabilizing the country on such a large scale, as well as involving the nation in a bloody war."
Tehran has also increased its military, intelligence, advisory, and economic assistance to the Assad regime, since the JCPOA went into effect.
Dr. Rafizadeh notes that the latest protests in Iran proved that the increased revenues, "have not been distributed among the Iranian people. Instead, the budgets for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Quds Force, which is in charge of extraterritorial operations, and their affiliated groups have increased significantly." In fact, President Hassan Rouhani recently increased the budget for military spending by at least 145 percent.
As well, the JCPOA has brought Iran enhanced diplomatic ties with the EU, kept it out of isolation, and enhanced its international legitimacy. Because of this, Dr. Rafizadeh believes that global powers will be less likely to hold the Iranian regime accountable and responsible for its actions.
"This legitimacy has facilitated Tehran's logistical, military and illegal connections with terrorist groups," Dr. Rafizadeh writes, and adds, "Thanks to the nuclear deal, Iran is continuing to pursue its regional hegemonic ambitions and achieve its objectives, but at a much faster pace."

Q: How get the value without interpolate I created a graph using d3 (follow a tutorial), however, everywhere I saw, people use interpolate for the value, I would like to know if it is possible to use only the exact values without doing interpolate.
export const buildGraph = (points: Point[]) => {
    const formmatedValues = points.map(
        (point: Point) =>
            [point.y, new Date(point.x).getTime(), parseFloat(point.dollar)] as [
                number,
                number,
                number
            ]
    )

    const prices = formmatedValues.map(
        (value: [number, number, number]) => value[0]
    )
    const dates = formmatedValues.map(
        (value: [number, number, number]) => value[1]
    )
    const dollar = formmatedValues.map(
        (value: [number, number, number]) => value[2]
    )

    const scaleX = scaleLinear()
        .domain([Math.min(...dates), Math.max(...dates)])
        .range([0, WIDTH])
    const minPrice = Math.min(...prices)
    const maxPrice = Math.max(...prices)
    const minDollar = Math.min(...dollar)
    const maxDollar = Math.min(...dollar)
    const scaleY = scaleLinear().domain([minPrice, maxPrice]).range([HEIGHT, 0])

    return {
        prices,
        dates,
        dollar,
        minPrice,
        maxPrice,
        minDollar,
        maxDollar,
        path: shape
            .line()
            .x(([, x]) => scaleX(x) as number)
            .y(([y]) => scaleY(y) as number)
            .curve(shape.curveBasis)(formmatedValues) as string,
    }

everywhere I've seen it use value this way
const eth = useDerivedValue(() => {
        const p = interpolate(
            translation.y.value,
            [0, HEIGHT],
            [data.maxPrice, data.minPrice]
        )

        const price = Math.trunc(p * Math.pow(10, 1)) / Math.pow(10, 1)

        return `${price}`
    })

the problem is that I have values that don't exist, I wanted to keep the value of the first point until I get to the next point


This is a watercolour of the Barbados headland drawn during a voyage to the West Indies in 1762 by the Master of the island of St Ann's. Barbados is the most eastern or leeward of the islands and the terrain is relatively flat, the tallest peak being only 1,100 feet above sea level. The island is 14 miles wide and 21 miles long. Barbados was settled in 1627 and by the mid 18th century was a thriving sugar trading island.

Ham Common est une zone de terres communes à Ham, à Londres. Il s'agit d'une zone de conservation gérée par le London Borough de Richmond upon Thames. Il couvre 48.6 hectares, la deuxième plus grande superficie de terres communes du borough, 0.8 hectares plus petit que Barnes Common. Il est divisé en deux habitats distincts, les prairies et les bois, séparés par l' A307 - Upper Ham Road. C'est une zone d'intérêt écologique, historique et récréatif, désignée réserve naturelle locale.

Description

Ham Common Woods
Du côté est de Upper Ham Road (A307) se trouve une zone boisée, Ham Common Woods, qui s'étend sur 1 kilomètre à Richmond Park à l'est et Sudbrook Park, Petersham au nord. Le ruisseau Latchmere, maintenant couvert pour la majeure partie de son cours, a son rejet dans un étang près de Ham Gate à Ham Common Woods. Deux cèdres ont été plantés pour marquer le couronnement du roi George V en 1911.

Depuis la cessation du pâturage dans les années 1930, la section est passée de landes et prairies acides avec ajoncs, fougères et ronces à des forêts mixtes de chênes. Le bouleau pionnier, en train de mourir, cède la place au houx, à l'if et au chêne. Les autorités locales et les groupes de bénévoles gèrent l'habitat, en gardant les sentiers et les voies cavalières dégagés et en éliminant les espèces envahissantes telles que la Snowberry. Au cours des dernières années, une partie du chemin Church, Ham Common, a été fermée à la circulation au printemps pour protéger les crapauds migrateurs afin qu'ils traversent en toute sécurité. De nouveaux étangs ont été construits début 2017 par Froglife et le conseil de Richmond pour fournir un habitat au crapaud commun.

La défense de Ham Common
À la fin de la période victorienne, les pressions croissantes pour le développement de Ham Common causées par l'expansion rapide des bâtiments dans et autour de Londres étaient typiques de ceux auxquels font face les Commons à travers la métropole. Les Metropolitan Commons Acts 1866 à 1878 ont été adoptés pour aider à les préserver.

En 1896, les Dysarts firent la promotion du Petersham and Ham Lands Footpaths Bill cherchant à délimiter les 71 hectares de terres. Le projet de loi a été rejeté par 262 voix contre 118, car il était réputé contrevenir aux Metropolitan Commons Acts.

Propriété publique
Quelques années plus tard, le projet de loi de Richmond Hill (préservation de la vue), est passé. Ce dernier projet de loi contenait les mêmes propositions mais plus de concessions que son prédécesseur et mettait davantage l'accent sur la préservation de la vue depuis Richmond Hill du développement urbain.

Bâtiments notables
Il existe de nombreux bâtiments remarquables à la périphérie de Ham Common. Dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre du nord, ceux-ci incluent; Sudbrook Lodge and Cottages, Ormeley Lodge et, à côté de Ham Gate, Park Gate Lodge. Le lodge voisin classé Grade II, juste à l'intérieur de Richmond Park, date de 1742.

A local resident on a flying lesson got this great shot of Kersal Dale looking towards Manchester.
Robert Martin, who got the lesson from friends as a birthday gift, didn't expect to see his home from the air having just flown to Blackpool and back.
But when the flying instructor realised that Robert lived close to the return route to City Airport (Barton Aerodrome), he asked if the amateur flier fancied seeing his home from above.
The photo was taken in 2016.

Well, I'm nibbling on some crow right now, but it's hard not also to feel joy at this news:
Rebel fighters pushed past the oil towns of Brega and Ras Lanuf, meeting little resistance as they recaptured two important refineries. By the evening, they had pushed the front line west of Bin Jawwad, according to fighters returning from the front. Emboldened by the retaking of the strategic crossroads city of Ajdabiya on Saturday, the rebels have moved rapidly, taking advantage of what the Qaddafi government has called a "tactical pullback." There were clashes with government forces overnight near the town of Uqaylah, on the main coastal road to Ras Lanuf, but nothing after that. "There wasn't resistance," said Faraj Sheydani, 42, a rebel fighter interviewed on his return from the front. "There was no one in front of us. There's no fighting."
The key town, by all accounts, is Surt, Qaddafi's Tikrit. It was bombed by NATO last night:
If Surt falls, "it is game over," one man said, insisting that the atmosphere in the capital was already slipping. "The government is losing control," he said. "You can't touch it but you can feel it."

This episode turned out a little heavier than expected which was a fun change to to normally chill vibe of the show. Like i explain at the top of the show, I tried to look at this months mix as a sound track to a hypothetical horror movie that only exists in the recesses of my mind (think Attack the Block meets It Follows i guess?) i think i captured it well enough, you can be the judge.
Also, Im elated to have Construct on this month's episode, as always he has crafted a top notch mix. I won't ramble on about him here , but take the time to read the blog post i did about him earlier this month.

DLDnyc 16 Liveblog: The Panama Papers: The making of a scoop
The Panama Papers: The making of a scoop
May/03/2016 17:10
Sueddeutsche Zeitung
Wolfgang Krach, Editor-in-Chief of Sueddeutsche Zeitung, was interviewed by Ken Auletta, media critic for The New Yorker, discussing an explosive topic: The Panama Papers. These are among the findings of a yearlong investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the leading German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other news organizations.
The secrets of dirty money
The Panama Papers, the unprecedented leak of 11.5 Million files from the database of the world's fourth biggest offshore law firm, Mossack Fonseca, are the largest data leak journalists have ever worked with. It started with an email in early 2015: "Hello, this is John Doe. Interested in data?" An anonymous source contacted the Sueddeutsche Zeitung and submitted encrypted internal documents. Wolfgang admitted: "In the beginning we didn't know how big this operation will be. It was such an enormous amount of data. And it was increasing week by week."
A new chance for journalism in the age of digitalization
The project was only possible because hundreds of journalists in over 80 countries cooperated and worked together. But how was it possible that absolutely nothing leaked, Ken wanted to know. "This is the biggest wonder for me", Wolfgang said. "I think everyone knew, that if anybody talks about it, it could be the end of the whole project. So everyone kept the secret." For Wolfgang the operation "Panama Papers" proofed one thing: "It's worthwhile doing investigative journalism – and the importance of it is growing. "That's exactly what differentiates us from bloggers for example. We publish things that nobody else can do", he said. "And we have to invest in it. Because this will be the future."

The Divided Family In Civil War America by Amy Murrell Taylor
Publisher : Univ of North Carolina Press
Category : History
The Civil War has long been described as a war pitting "brother against brother." The divided family is an enduring metaphor for the divided nation, but it also accurately reflects the reality of America's bloodiest war. Connecting the metaphor to the real experiences of families whose households were split by conflicting opinions about the war, Amy Murrell Taylor provides a social and cultural history of the divided family in Civil War America. In hundreds of border state households, brothers--and sisters--really did fight one another, while fathers and sons argued over secession and husbands and wives struggled with opposing national loyalties. Even enslaved men and women found themselves divided over how to respond to the war. Taylor studies letters, diaries, newspapers, and government documents to understand how families coped with the unprecedented intrusion of war into their private lives. Family divisions inflamed the national crisis while simultaneously embodying it on a small scale--something noticed by writers of popular fiction and political rhetoric, who drew explicit connections between the ordeal of divided families and that of the nation. Weaving together an analysis of this popular imagery with the experiences of real families, Taylor demonstrates how the effects of the Civil War went far beyond the battlefield to penetrate many facets of everyday life.
My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero
Publisher : Henry Holt and Company (BYR)
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Before landing a spot on the megahit Netflix show Orange is the New Black; before wow-ing audiences as Lina on Jane the Virgin; and before her incredible activism and work on immigration reform, Diane Guerrero was a young girl living in Boston. One day, while Guerrero was at school, her undocumented immigrant parents were taken from their home, detained, and deported. Guerrero's life, which had been full of the support of a loving family, was turned upside down. Reflective of the experiences of millions of undocumented immigrant families in the United States, Guerrero's story is at once heartbreaking and hopeful.
Korea S Divided Families by James Foley
The divided families problem is a serious social issue in North and South Korea, involving hundreds of thousands of first generation divided family members, most of whom have not seen their relatives since the Korean War. It is the most pressing humanitarian issue between the two Koreas, and is connected to the greater issue of human rights in North Korea today. However, little serious academic work exists on the subject, in either English or Korean. This new study, based on research conducted in Korea, including interviews in 2001 with Korean families who benefited from the most recent exchanges, addresses the many issues surrounding the divided family problem, and highlights its importance in the path towards Korean rapprochement.

Taylor looks behind the Civil War metaphor of "brother against brother" to the real experiences of families, particularly in border states, whose households were split by divided loyalties. She studies letters and diaries to understand how families coped with division between husbands and wives, fathers and sons, and she traces the adoption of the image of the "house divided" in newspapers, government documents, and popular fiction to describe the divided nation.

1494 by Stephen R. Bown
Publisher : D & M Publishers
When Columbus triumphantly returned from America to Spain in 1493, his discoveries inflamed an already-smouldering conflict between Spain's renowned monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, and Portugal's João II. Which nation was to control the world's oceans? To quell the argument, Pope Alexander VI - the notorious Rodrigo Borgia - issued a proclamation laying the foundation for the Treaty of Tordesillas, an edict that created an imaginary line in the Atlantic Ocean dividing the entire known (and unknown) world between Spain and Portugal. Just as the world's oceans were about to be opened by Columbus's epochal voyage, the treaty sought to limit the seas to these two favoured Catholic nations. The edict was to have a profound influence on world history: it propelled Spain and Portugal to superpower status, steered many other European nations on a collision course and became the central grievance in two centuries of international espionage, piracy and warfare. At the heart of one of the greatest international diplomatic and political agreements of the last five centuries were the strained relationships and passions of a handful of powerful individuals. They were linked by a shared history, mutual animosity and personal obligations.
In The Country We Love by Diane Guerrero
Publisher : Henry Holt and Company
Category : Biography & Autobiography
The star of Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin presents her personal story of the real plight of undocumented immigrants in this country Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just fourteen years old on the day her parents were detained and deported while she was at school. Born in the U.S., Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family. In the Country We Love is a moving, heartbreaking story of one woman's extraordinary resilience in the face of the nightmarish struggles of undocumented residents in this country. There are over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US, many of whom have citizen children, whose lives here are just as precarious, and whose stories haven't been told. Written with bestselling author Michelle Burford, this memoir is a tale of personal triumph that also casts a much-needed light on the fears that haunt the daily existence of families likes the author's and on a system that fails them over and over.

The Time Divide by Jerry A. JACOBS
In a panoramic study that draws on diverse sources, Jerry Jacobs and Kathleen Gerson explain why and how time pressures have emerged and what we can do to alleviate them. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that all Americans are overworked, they show that time itself has become a form of social inequality that is dividing Americans in new ways--between the overworked and the underemployed, women and men, parents and non-parents. They piece together a compelling story of the increasing mismatch between our economic system and the needs of American families, sorting out important trends such as the rise of demanding jobs and the emergence of new pressures on dual earner families and single parents. Comparing American workers with their European peers, Jacobs and Gerson also find that policies that are simultaneously family-friendly and gender equitable are not fully realized in any of the countries they examine. As a consequence, they argue that the United States needs to forge a new set of solutions that offer American workers new ways to integrate work and family life. Table of Contents: Acknowledgments Introduction Part I: Trends in Work, Family, and Leisure Time 1. Overworked Americans or the Growth of Leisure? 2. Working Time from the Perspective of Families Part II: Integrating Work and Family Life 3. Do Americans Feel Overworked? 4. How Work Spills Over into Life 5. The Structure and Culture of Work Part III: Work, Family, and Social Policy 6. American Workers in Cross-National Perspective with Janet C. Gornick 7. Bridging the Time Divide 8. Where Do We Go from Here? Appendix: Supplementary Tables Notes References Index Jacobs and Gerson present the most fine-grained analysis yet offered of working time and its impacts on families. They successfully combine sophisticated analyses of quantitative data with breakthroughs in the conceptualization of work time. Their focus on household work time and their incorporation of subjective aspects of work-family conflict are welcome additions to the study of work time. As a result of their nuanced treatment, they avoid making simplistic generalizations that have marked many previous treatments of this topic. --Rosalind Chait Barnett, Brandeis University, and co-author of Same Difference: How Myths About Gender Differences Are Hurting Our Relationships, Our Children, and Our Jobs This is an outstanding book. It offers powerful arguments in the debates over work-family conflict going on in academia and society. The data the authors bring to bear on the subject offer new insights that support their analysis and policy recommendations. Scholars of the workplace and of contemporary American society as well as public policy advocates must read this book! --Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, City University of New York, and co-author of The Part-time Paradox: Time Norms, Professional Life, Family and Gender The Time Divide makes a substantial contribution to the work-family literature and will be cited often by those with an interest in women's employment, children's well-being, family functioning, and work in America. Its appeal will be broad and capture the attention of policy makers along with academics in a number of disciplines including sociology, family studies, and public policy. The book is engagingly written and the logic of the analysis is sound. --Suzanne Bianchi, University of Maryland, and co-author of Continuity and Change in the American Family The main thesis is original and important: that Americans are not, in general, overworked; rather, they can be divided into both the overworked and the underworked. The former are usually found in the upper half of the occupational distribution, the latter in the lower half. The overworked wish they could work less, and the underworked wish they could work more. Overall, The Time Divide significantly advances our understanding of just where the time divide lies. And that's an important contribution. --Andrew J. Cherlin, Johns Hopkins University, and author of Public and Private Families


First off, I think I should mention that right before I read this book I had just finished Leviathan, and any book that comes after Leviathan has a tough act to follow. So I was kinda expecting not to feel overwhelmed with adoration for Candle Man, and that turned out to be true. However, if I had gone into reading Candle Man any other time– i.e. not right after reading the awesomeness that was Leviathan, then I'm pretty sure I would have had a stronger, more positive reaction to it.
At the moment I'm just feeling sort of ambivalent. Is it a bad book? No, not by any means. But is it as good as Leviathan? Well, no. And I know it's not fair to really compare the two (Scott Westerfeld is a veteran book-writer, and this is Glenn Dakin's first book; Leviathan is YA/teen and Candle Man is middle grade, etc), so I'll try not to take Leviathan into account for this review. Unfortunately my prejudices colored my reading a bit, but I'm going to try to even things out a bit if I can here. Okay?
Candle Man starts off wonderfully, with some intrigue and mystery. I find the whole idea of a "Candle Man" fascinating. It kind of sounds like a 1940's pulp hero, doesn't it? And Theo is so messed up he makes a really interesting character: he only eats bland foods, he doesn't know much about the world outside his home, he thinks happiness is dangerous, and he's deathly afraid of the number three (and multiples of). He's neurotic, almost, and I like neurotic characters. They make for good heroes, a lot of times.
And though, of course, Theo starts to work through his issues during the course of the book, I hope he retains enough of them to keep him slightly off-kilter. It makes the entire book funnier and, well, more interesting, with a weird protagonist like Theo.
I also liked how there were these weird fantasy-ish creatures running around with modern day technology, a little like Stoneheart? For instance, there were these little imp-like things called smoglodytes who can only exist in smog, which is a very modern sort of monster, I think. They added a nice dimension to the story that I liked. And there were also these things called garghouls (like gargoyles but…ghoulish?), and from the description they sounded an awful lot like the gargoyles from, uh, Gargoyles.
That said, there were a few things that started to annoy me the longer I read it. There are a lot of redundant dialogue tags: "the astonished man exclaimed," "Theo wondered nervously," etc. I didn't notice until about halfway through, but when I did notice I couldn't stop noticing. Also, though I liked Chloe, the dashing heroine and Theo's probable love interest, I think too many things about her were revealed too early, and that made things a bit muddled. Pretty early on, for instance, we learn that not only is she a member of the Society of Unrelenting Vigilance but she's also some sort of undercover cop…thing. What? That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, and it was never really explained.
A few other things also seemed to just appear out of nowhere, and it kept making me wonder if I had missed something. At the end, for instance– and I don't think this is a spoiler– Theo's cheek is broken. But when did it happen? There's no explanation, just Theo suddenly wearing a fracture mask.
At this point I couldn't help wondering if I was analyzing things too much, and if I was just so used to things being explained in such detail because of the last few books I read. Was I suppose to intuit the connection between an event and a consequence? And did I really need everything spelled out for me, or am I too hung up on details? I dunno. I think I almost needed more details, because I kept getting lost and wondering what things looked like.
Mr Dakin has written scripts for several kids shows, including Shaun the Sheep, and you can see that influence in his books. This would make a great BBC kids show for sure: it's exciting and adventuresome and really interesting characters, and I think the rest of the series can only get better. Hopefully.
Candle Man is being marketed as a kind of steampunk-tinted story, but I don't really see any connection to steampunk in it. It's set in modern times, with modern technology, and if anything it's urban fantasy– not steampunk. So if you're looking for steampunk, uh. It's not here. On the other hand, if you're looking for a quirky MG urban fantasy, this is it.
I just wanted to say that I totally love your blog! I love to read and I like that the books you review are something that I might not usually come across in my bookstore travels. Your reviews are funny too and not boring and dry like a lot of book reviews can be!
Thank you so much! 😀 That's a really sweet thing to say, and it's totally made my day.

Michigan high school shooting: shooter's parents arrested
December 6, 2021 by Paula Hooper
Flowers were laid in tribute to the students killed by a 15-year-old teenager at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, on November 30, 2021. SCOTT OLSON / AFP
Three days after the shooting that killed four people on Tuesday in a high school in Michigan (northern United States), the parents of the teenager who opened fire were arrested Saturday, December 4, after being charged with homicides unintentional for letting their son use a gift gun.
James and Jennifer Crumbley had been actively wanted since Friday by the police and the FBI. The police finally located them in an industrial building in Detroit, about sixty kilometers from the scene of the shooting, not far from where their car had been spotted earlier.
The couple's lawyers assured Friday that, contrary to what was reported, Ethan Crumbley's parents were not on the run. "The Crumbleys left the evening of this tragic shooting for their own safety", they said. "They are returning to the region to be presented to a judge. They are not running away from the authorities despite what the media report ", they said.
However, the fact that they withdrew $ 4,000 when they left and turned off their phones suggested they were on the run, police officials noted on CNN.
A gun they bought
They are each charged with four manslaughter for letting their son use a gun they bought, county prosecutor Karen McDonald said. "These indictments are a message so that people understand that from the moment they hold a weapon they are responsible for it", she added, denouncing a law "Inadequate" of Michigan which does not require the keeping of a weapon under lock and key.
Ethan Crumbley, 15, killed four students in cold blood and injured six others as well as a teacher on Tuesday on the grounds of high school in Oxford, a small town north of Detroit.
The "Walked into high school and pulled the trigger", most "Other people contributed to this event and I intend to hold them accountable"Karen McDonald said as she announced the lawsuits against the parents.
Ethan Crumbley was arrested at the scene and then charged with "Terrorist act" and "Assassinations", and risks life imprisonment, because he is being prosecuted as an adult. He pleads not guilty and has chosen to remain silent. He is being held in solitary confinement at the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac.
Shootings remain a scourge in the United States, a country where the right to own guns is constitutionally guaranteed. But lawsuits against relatives of their perpetrators are extremely rare. "I expect parents and everyone to show humanity and act to stop a potential tragedy", explained Mme McDonald.

Parents summoned to high school two hours before the shooting
The teenager's father had bought the semi-automatic pistol used by his son a few days earlier. After the purchase, the teenager practiced shooting and posted images of the gun on social media, clearly stating that it was his. The day of the shooting, the student was summoned with his parents by the school administration, after writing a message about suicide and death: "Help me, my life is useless, the world is dead, blood everywhere. "
"To think that a parent could read these words knowing that their son had access to a lethal weapon he had given him is incomprehensible, and I think it is a crime", said the prosecutor. She also blames the parents for not asking their son if he had his gun on him that day, or where it was, when the gun was in his backpack and he was allowed to go. go back to class.
Two hours after this meeting, he opened fire when he got out of the toilets, methodically progressing in the halls of the school and in particular pulling on the doors of the classes where the students had barricaded themselves. He fired at least thirty bullets. When the news of a high school shooting was announced, the teenager's mother sent him this message: " Do not do that. "
The local prosecutor had mentioned earlier this week a "Mountain of evidence online, on video or on social networks" showing that it was not "From an impulsive act", but of an act "Totally premeditated".
Police also recovered from the accused's cell phone a video recorded on Monday in which he announced his intention to shoot students the next day, a plan he had also recorded in a diary found in his backpack.
Read the report: Article reserved for our subscribers The ordeal of shooting survivors in the United States
Since the tragedy, Michigan authorities have been " flooded " messages of threats against schools in this state, creating a climate of psychosis within the population. More than sixty schools have been closed statewide due to "Threatening behavior", according to Oakland County Police, who said most of the threats were bogus.
