10 Best Comics Of The Decade That You Should Know Update 01/2023
Posted on May 1, 2022 by [email protected]
Even if someone doesn't know it, everyone cares about comics even if they don't know it. The 2010s were the decade when everyone really cared about comics. Because of comics, pop culture had a big impact this decade, no matter if they were New York Times bestsellers or the source of a box office-breaking trend.
Because of the bright Hollywood sun, as well as other local issues, the American comics industry itself was shaped by both of these things. For the first time in 2011, Marvel and DC Comics started releasing digital copies of their monthly comics on the same day as they were released in print. Publishing projects like the New 52 and Marvel Now! have changed the way superhero comics have looked for years to come. When social media came around, it helped webcomics grow and break down barriers between fans and the people who make them, like superheroes (for better and worse).
Comics that could only be written in this decade are on this list. They are the best comics of this decade.
1. Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man
Writing by Brian Michael Bendis, art by Sarah Pichelli
Bendis, Pichelli, and their editors were trying to make a "sequel" to Spider-Man with Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man. You can read more about the creative goals of the book in our Miles Morales piece. This is like walking out into a busy street and announcing that you're making a sequel to Jesus in comic book terms.
But they did. The success of last year's Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is proof that Bendis and Pichelli gave Miles Morales a clear goal from the start. We already knew that we were going to talk about Spider-Man in 2019. It was Bendis and Pichelli's job to make sure that people will be talking about this Spider-Man in 2059. They said that "with great power comes great responsibility."
Miles and his series were a preview of the decade to come. They started a trend of younger Marvel characters taking on classic roles. Miles and his series were announced in 2010 and first came out in 2011. (a female Captain Marvel, Thor, and Hulk; a black Captain America). And the backlash against a "black Spider-Man" was just the start of a wave of backlash against "progressivism run amok" in comics that would keep coming.
2. Batman
Writing by Scott Snyder, art by Greg Capullo
At the start of the 2010s, Scott Snyder was a rising star in the indie comics world. He had a well-known run on Detective Comics. These days, he's one of the main people who come up with ideas for DC's superhero universe. In the New 52's Batman, he worked with a well-known artist named Greg Capullo to make it.
Few times has a creative team been able to make a character as old as Batman their own without completely changing him. There haven't been very many times when a creative team has gone so far with a superhero archetype without ever breaking it. I mean, the Joker wore his own skinned-off face as a mask, and there was an arc in which Batman lost his memories and had to be replaced by a clean-shaven Commissioner Gordon in a robot that looked like a bunny. I think that's a bad example.
Batman was the start of Snyder's rise. He became a showrunner for the Batman books that were linked together, then Dark Nights: Metal changed the world, and finally Justice League. There are a lot of different ways that comic book fans think the New 52 has changed the world. People will probably agree that Batman was one of the initiative's most important successes, changing the DC Universe in a way that would last for a long time to come.
3. Hark! A Vagrant!
Writing and art by Kate Beaton
I think it's fair to put Hark! A Vagrant! on this list, even though the webcomic started in 2007. The first print compilation didn't come out until 2011, when it spent six months on the New York Times bestseller list.
On the strength of Hark! A Vagrantmeme !'s power, I could write this entire entry. It has led to such hits as "I had fun once." It was terrible, "Old as balls," "Aww yiss, Motha. I love you." Fuckin. You can also see Edgar Allan Poe looking suspiciously at a letter in that picture of him. There are many things about Beaton's work that we don't get enough credit for: her beautiful illustrations, her great sense of humor, her love of history, and how well she can condense and communicate it all.
4. Saga
Writing by Brian K. Vaughan, art by Fiona Staples
During the 1970s, Star Wars was a movie. In comics in the 2010s, there was Saga, which set the stage for a new kind of big Image Comic.
From Y: The Last Man to Ex Machina, Brian K. Vaughan has written many serial epics. It feels like he has been working on that skill for a long time for Saga, which is also his most personal work. It's also a great example of Fiona Staples' skills. Before this book, she was mostly known for her work on book covers.
If you read a Saga, you never know what will happen next. It could be a field full of huge fire-spewing tortoises. It could also be the vulva of a princess, as she gives birth to the heir of the Robot Empire, which is a robot.
Redefining space opera: Vaughan and Staples focused on one family, but they made the universe so unique that Saga will never be mistaken for any other space opera in its genre. Nothing that tries to copy Saga will ever live up to it.
5. Boundless
Jillian Tamaki (Drawn & Quarterly)
Three years ago, time moved very quickly. When things that seem important happen, then they are forgotten four hours later. People don't know where trends come from, fads are localized without geography, and whole 24-hour news cycles fit into the space between weathers on the 1. If you look at this collection of short comics, you might think that they were drawn in 2016, but they still feel very relevant and timely today. If you want to learn about the characters, Tamaki tells short stories about things like a mirror Facebook that shows you what might be in another world; a Twilight Zone-like cultural phenomenon mp3; and a porn sitcom that has become a cult hit 25 years later. He then uses the characters to say something interesting about them, us, or our world. It's a good book.
6. Imperium
Joshua Dysart, Doug Brathwaite, Scot Eaton, Cafu, Khari Evans, Ulisses Ariola (Valiant Entertainment)
Toyo Harada is a great villain who isn't getting enough attention. Imperium is the story of him trying to make the world do what he wants. Valiant books have been pretty closely linked since they came back in the early part of this decade, but Harada has been the main character in most of them. You should pick him for that. Unlike Lex Luthor or Dr. Doom, he lives in a world where the political rules are more like our own, which makes both good and bad things about him even better. It's a great story about megalomania that Dysart and the art team have written and drawn for us.

County GOP taps Gardner as chairman
Members of the Bryan County Republican Party cast votes Saturday for delegates and alternate delegates to serve at this springs Congressional District and State conventions. (Tony Judnich)

Updated: March 16, 2011, 10:12 a.m.
Former Bryan County Commissioner Rick Gardner will help lead the county's Republican Party for the next two years.
At the county GOP's annual convention Saturday, Gardner was chosen to serve as chairman of the Bryan County Republican Committee. He served on the county commission for eight years before losing the District 5 seat to Jimmy Henderson in November.
"My record shows I have been involved, and I feel I can bring unity to the party," Gardner said shortly before party members cast their votes.
Before the vote, chairman candidate Brian Skibicki of Richmond Hill said he has been active in Republican Party politics for the last 20 years, was a state delegate four times and ran the campaigns of various Republican candidates.
"You have to understand state politics to help Bryan County," he said.

Guide to using Airbnb
Staying in someone's home can be cheaper and give you a more personal, local experience. But what are the risks?
By Jemma Castle
Peer-to-peer accommodation
If you haven't used Airbnb, no doubt you've heard of it – and a number of horror stories to go along with it. But how common are these bad experiences, and should it prevent you from trying it out?
Airbnb has seen rapid growth since it started back in 2008 with worldwide guest numbers now at 35 million. Our Voice Your Choice poll in March found nearly 20% of the more than 400 people surveyed had tried Airbnb. And it's likely this figure will grow – last year in Australia and New Zealand alone, the number of guests booking through Airbnb tripled.
There is some risk associated with booking accommodation through Airbnb, but when we asked the CHOICE community on Facebook about their experiences using it, we had an overwhelmingly positive response.
How does Airbnb work?
Airbnb is a peer-to-peer accommodation network that links up travellers with spare beds in people's homes, via its website or through the mobile app. There are options to suit a range of budgets, as well as the option to book entire homes. There are one million accommodation listings around the world, including 35,000 in Australia.
It's different to a hotel in that you're able to stay outside of the tourist zones – Airbnb says 85% of its listings are outside traditional hotel districts. People also told us they liked Airbnb because it gave them a personal connection with locals.
Airbnb has one million accommodation listings around the world, including 35,000 in Australia.
Airbnb fans claim a big benefit is that it's cheaper than other accommodation. Testing that claim is a little tricky, as it all depends on what you want. There's an abundance of options on Airbnb and a huge range in pricing. We found prices starting at around $13 per night for shared rooms, tents and couches, ranging up to thousands of dollars for luxury homes.
To get an indication for how prices compare with hotels, we looked at the average rates for both (see table below). The average city rate for Airbnb is advertised on its site, but Airbnb wouldn't provide information on how the figure is calculated. We've added on 12% – given that Airbnb tacks on its service fee and any cleaning fees (charged by the host) after you make your selection, we've assumed they aren't included in the averages. Averages for hotels were taken from the The Hotels.com Hotel Price Index, which tracks actual prices paid throughout the year rather than the advertised rate for more than 169,000 rooms.
Average price: Airbnb vs hotels
Average price on Airbnb* (including 12% service fee)
Average hotel price** (Hotels.com)
Sydney $171 $200
Melbourne $133 $177
Auckland $132 $151
Los Angeles $205 $229
London $196 $253
*These were averages on 16 June 2015. Average prices on Airbnb can fluctuate but we've tried to use cities that remained fairly static.
**Hotels.com figures are averages for the year 2014.
While hotels and Airbnb are not directly comparable due to the wide range of options available on Airbnb, these figures suggest that the latter may be cheaper on average. And if simpler accommodation (such as a couch) suits your needs, Airbnb certainly can be an attractive option.
However, there were also instances where Airbnb's average city prices fluctuated dramatically from day to day, presumably because there were fewer listings in those cities.
Obviously Airbnb needs to make money, but its fees can be steep, and they aren't disclosed in the initial price. Hosts can add on a cleaning fee, and Airbnb also charges a service fee of 6–12% of the total booking price (it decreases as the price increases). The company says this "covers the cost of running Airbnb". The company certainly looks profitable – analysts estimate Airbnb could reach $675m in revenue by the end of 2015.
Extra rooms to meet demand
Given the opposition from the hotel industry, you'd think Airbnb was costing them business. But hotel occupancy rates in Australia tell a different story. According to the latest Tourism and Hotel Market Outlook from Deloitte Access Economics, the hotel industry seems to be doing just fine. Occupancy rates are now at record levels due to increased numbers of international visitors as well as increased levels of domestic travel. Hotel occupancy rates were at a national average of 68% in 2014, with hotels in Sydney and Melbourne averaging 87% and 86%. And these rates are expected to increase to 90% by 2017.
With the sheer number of listings on Airbnb, it's likely there'll be some iffy ones. Airbnb recommends "you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to stay with a host". But given that Airbnb makes its money off the back of people booking listings, the last thing Airbnb wants is dodgy listings causing trouble so there are a number of mechanisms in place designed to ensure trust in the system.
Trust based on reviews
As Airbnb can't vouch for every host or guest on an individual basis, it relies on a review system to build trust in its community. So how does Airbnb ensure these reviews are indeed genuine and not fake?
Reviews can only be left by the host (about guests) or someone who has stayed at the listing for up to 14 days after the stay. Neither party is able to see the other's review until both are published, and once published, they can't be edited. However, hosts and guests can leave a public response to a review for up to two weeks.
Verified profiles
The verified ID badge will appear on a host's profile if they have taken certain steps to verify their identity, such as their phone number, social media profile or even their driver's licence or government-issued ID. However, Airbnb provides very little info on how they actually verify the information. While a verified ID is probably better than nothing, be aware that Airbnb says it's "not an endorsement or guarantee of someone's identity" and it doesn't mean the host will be "trustworthy, safe or suitable".
Listings may also have verified photos which appear with a watermark bearing the words Airbnb.com verified photo" or similar wording. This signifies that an Airbnb photographer has been to the residence to take the photos.
Third-party payment
One important mechanism to ensure consumers won't be out of pocket for dodgy listings is the third-party payment system. Guests pay online (usually via credit card) and Airbnb holds the funds until after you've checked in. You'll have up to 24 hours after you've checked in to notify Airbnb of any problems. However, be aware you'll be charged the full amount as soon as the reservation is confirmed, even if you book well in advance.
While this system arguably works to protect both hosts and guests, Airbnb could potentially derive income off those funds while they lie dormant.
Airbnb cancellation policy
Hosts can set their own cancellation policy which can be classed as "flexible", "moderate" or "strict". For example, if the host has a "strict" policy, you'll only receive a 50% refund of the accommodation costs for cancelling within one week of the booking. "Flexible" cancellation policies, on the other hand, offer a full refund for cancellations within one day of the booking. Be aware that if you cancel the booking, you may get the accommodation fees back but you won't be refunded the Airbnb service fees.
When am I entitled to a refund?
When you book a hotel you expect a certain standard, but it can be more difficult to know exactly what you're going to get on Airbnb, as every listing is unique.
Airbnb wouldn't disclose how many complaints it receives, but according to its website, problems usually fall into one of three categories:
Host cancels shortly before check-in or failing to provide access to the property.
Accommodation is misrepresented or lacks the promised amenities.
Accommodation is not clean or as described.
So what happens if the accommodation turns out to be a dud? You should contact Airbnb with the details within 24 hours of checking in. Airbnb's Guest Refund Policy outlines the situations in which you'll be entitled to a refund. For the most part it covers situations where the accommodation is different to the listing. You'll also be entitled to a refund if there's no clean bedding or towels (unless it was clearly stated they wouldn't be provided or the host didn't mark 'essentials' in the offered amenities) and if the listing is "unsanitary, unsafe, or hazardous".
What's tricky is that Airbnb isn't particularly specific about the standards it expects – it just says a listing "should meet minimum quality standards regarding safety, access, and cleanliness, and they should be consistent with the description provided by the host". Peta Sargent, who has been using Airbnb for her travels around Australia and had many positive things to say about it, said one of her concerns was the lack of standards: "Not all places have the same standards, or even adequate standards. Some places could be unclean, others unsafe for kids or [they could] have no smoke alarms."
Customer service on trial
CHOICE staffer Ines Gruber told us she used Airbnb when she first arrived in Sydney, and found the accommodation was extremely dirty. She contacted Airbnb to let them know and not only did they refund her money, they paid for her to stay in a hotel after they found no other accommodation available through Airbnb. It's hard to imagine a better possible outcome in such a scenario, right?
While we commend this sort of customer service, it doesn't guarantee it will happen every time someone has a problem. For example, Louise L. contacted us highlighting how difficult it was to get customer support. Airbnb's policy certainly doesn't commit to paying for alternative accommodation if the listing turns out to be substandard. It will either provide a refund or try to book you in at another comparable accommodation for the unused nights, but this will be at Airbnb's discretion.
Airbnb alternatives
Airbnb isn't the only peer-to-peer accommodation site on the market. There are a number of others around such as Flipkey (from TripAdvisor), Roomorama, HomeAway and home-camp which offers a space to camp in people's backyard!
Other alternatives are house swapping and couch surfing.
Read more about hotel alternatives in our guide to home-stay accommodation.
Top tips for using Airbnb
Check for a decent number of positive reviews.
Read carefully what is on offer. You'll only be able to get a refund if the listing was actually different to what was listed.

Q: Variational Calculas problem For my Variational Calculus course we have been given the following problem:
Given the following Euler Lagrange for the path P(t(s),s)
$\frac{d}{dr}(\frac{((1-a/r)\frac{dt}{dr}}{\sqrt{(1-a/r)(dt/dr)^2-1/(1-a/r)}})=0$ rewrite to a function in the form of $t(B)-t(A)=\int_A^BC^2/(1-a/r)\sqrt{\frac{1}{a/r+C^2-1}}dr$
How would I do this? I have tried writing it as:
$\frac{((1-a/r)\frac{dt}{dr}}{\sqrt{(1-a/r)(dt/dr)^2-1/(1-a/r)}})=N$ N a constant and then taking the dt to one side and the dr to the other and integrating over these differentials, however this has yielded some unwieldy expressions.

A: You want to solve an equation $\frac{cv}{\sqrt{cv^2-1/c}}=N$ for $v$. This is a purely algebraic exercise
$$
c^2v^2=N^2(cv^2-1/c)=\frac{N^2}{c}(c^2v^2-1)\\
c^2v^2\left(\frac{N^2}{c}-1\right)=\frac{N^2}{c}\\
v^2=\frac{N^2}{c^2(N^2-c)}\\
v=\frac{N}{c\sqrt{N^2-c}}
$$
Note that the sign choice in the last square root is determined by the original equation. Now re-insert back $v=\frac{dt}{dt}$ and $c=1-\frac ar$.

: My mother had a problem with her toilet, it was clogged, back in March.  The landlord was called to have him send a plumber.  The plumber came and was not able to fix the problem using a snake.  He informed my mother that he would have to replaced the toilet.  Okay, so now 2 months later she gets a bill from the landlord advising her that she is responsible for payment to the plumber since a shower curtain rings was found in the toilet.  Now she was never shown this and she never signed anything.  Can this be possible.  The landlord ended taking her to court and an arbitor made the decision that my mother owes the landlord that money.  Can anything me done to appeal this decision.  And what happens if my mother doesnt have the $600.00 that the landlord is asking for.  Can she set up a payment plan with him or what.


Unfortunately, perfect knowledge of a subject does not always mean excellent grades. This is due to the fact that getting good grades is also a skill that requires concentration, hard work, and planning. On the other hand, it is easy to learn how to get good grades for the knowledge you have.
Always visit your classes. The attendance is directly connected to your overall grade for the subject. Presence at a class guarantees better learning process. Plus, some professors offer additional points for students who do not miss the classes.
Do your reading. It is wrong to assume that you will remember all the necessary information by listening to a professor's lecture only. One of the best studying tips is to reread your notes couple times before the class and it will be easier for you to learn the material.
Organize your time. The key college study tips are linked to time management. If you do not know how to study effectively, the first thing to do is to plan your time correctly. Every excellent student's secret of getting good grades lies in planning study time according to a schedule.
Read the assignment instructions. Your syllabus teaches you how to be a good student, so do not skip reading directions given in it. Some students read just a part of the assignment instructions wrongly assuming that everything is clear to them. However, this is often not true.
Now you know the tips that will teach you how to study effectively and improve your grades. If you often search the Internet asking how to be a good student, remember that your overall score is a reflection of your knowledge, so do your best in organizing your time to help yourself study better.

Samsung E590: Dinky dialler
Samsung launched an impressive array of handsets out at 3GSM but we were rather taken with a simple little candybar phone that does the basics very well
Andrew Lim
Feb. 20, 2007 4:20 a.m. PT
Out at 3GSM, Samsung launched so many new phones that we literally didn't know where to start. Amid the plethora of new kit and tucked away in a corner, however, was a little candybar phone called the E590.
At first we weren't sure if this was a new handset or not, as no one seemed that interested in it. On closer inspection though, we realised that it was indeed a new phone and that we rather liked its simple design.
Samsung isn't renowned for making candybar phones, but we think it hit the mark with this one. It measures a pocket-friendly 42mm wide by 94mm tall by 14mm deep. The keypad and navigation joystick are easy to use. It feels comfortable to hold and while the screen isn't massive, it's fairly easy to read texts on it.
There's a built-in FM radio and MP3 player with support for stereo Bluetooth headsets (A2DP), which means you can listen to your music wirelessly. On the back there's a 3-megapixel camera with auto-focus and you also get an expandable microSD slot so you can store all your favourite tunes and photos.
We're not sure about pricing or availability yet, but we'll keep you posted. We really like this handset and while it's not as exciting as the F700, we think it has a simplistic charm and is a great addition to Samsung's candybar portfolio. -AL


Yes, massage therapy is suitable for all age groups from babies to the elderly. We massage children who play a lot of sport to the elderly who just want help with aches and pains associated with getting older. There is a massage suited to everyone. Discuss this with your therapist so they can develop a treatment to suit you.
Arrive at least 15 minutes early if this is your first visit as you will be asked to fill out a health history form, It is important to list all health concerns and medical conditions so the therapist can tailor the treatment suitable for you. The therapist will then ask you some general questions in regard to what problem areas you have that need to be worked on.
During you session with the therapist it is important that you feel comfortable, so if you need anything changed such as the pressure of the massage or if you are feeling too hot or too cold please do not hesitate to tell your therapist. We want this to be a great experience for you and will be more than happy to comply with your request.
Depending on the technique your therapist is using, you may or may not need to undress. For a full body massage though most get undressed down to their underwear, you will be well covered with a towel, except the area that is being worked on. Your therapist will give you time to undress in private and to get comfortable onto the table.
Make yourself comfortable, some people like to close their eyes and relax during a massage and some people like to talk. The therapist will chat to you during your massage to check if you are Ok or to ask you to adjust your position or to work on a different area so let them know if you need the pressure changed or temperature of the room. Don't hesitate to ask the therapist any questions that you may have.
HOW WILL A MASSAGE FEEL, WILL IT BE PAINFUL?
It will depend on the type of technique used. A relaxation massage will not hurt it will calm your nervous system and relax muscle tension, as your body becomes more relaxed pressure will be gradually increased to relieve areas of muscle tension. Where as a deep tissue or remedial massage more pressure is applied so it may feel a little sore or uncomfortable, pain can be an indication that the muscle is injured or inflamed so pressure can be adjusted accordingly to get deeper into the muscle for more benefit.
Between massages the length of time varies from person to person. If it is just for relaxation then monthly may be suitable for you, but if it is for a specific problem then more frequent sessions would be required at first until you achieve the level that you can go down to a maintenance schedule. Your therapist will also discuss exercises how often and may provide you with tips such as stretching, ice or heat packs, gels for easing inflammation to help speed up your recovery.
Most people will feel very relaxed, some will experience a decrease from aches and pains and have a greater mobility, while some will need some more treatments. If you have had a deep massage you may feel sore for a few days, an inflammatory gel will help with this, also a shower or a heat pack a hot Epson salts bath which encourages the release of toxins that may have been stirred up from the massage treatment.
It is very important to drink lots of water after your massage to help flush out any toxins and to keep your body hydrated and healthy.
Our therapists use a water based oil so as not to cause friction onto the skin surface.

Sports Illustrated's Fortunate 50: 13 NBA Players Make the List
By J.A. Sherman Jul 18, 2012, 1:37pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Sports Illustrated's Fortunate 50: 13 NBA Players Make the List
Sports Illustrated recently released its 'Fortunate 50' list, a ranking of the top 50 highest earners in pro sports in the U.S.
The Fortunate 50 | Sports Illustrated
As noted in the report, NBA players have always been well represented in this ranking. However, due to the truncated season and the new CBA, salaries were slashed, putting downward pressure on the ranking en masse. Even so, two new NBA players were welcomed into this elite list (Derrick Rose & Chris Paul).
The overall ranking reveals several intriguing aspects as well. For the first time since the ranking began, the #1 man was not Tiger Woods, but a boxer who had a grand total of 2 paydays in the past year and currently resides in prison. Meanwhile, #2 (Phil Mickelson) has won a single tournament in the last year and no major since 2010 (The Masters), and #3, Woods, well, you know...
Kobe still proves to be a huge endorsement earner, which speaks loudly of his international appeal even as his career winds down. Lebron will likely pass him next season and forever, but at least that makes sense; he's the best player on the best team. Durant climbs rapidly due to his expanding endorsements, and he'll likely be joined by his All-Star teammate Russell Westbrook in a year or two. Lastly, Rashard Lewis...way to hang in there on this list, my man.
Name Overall Rank 2011 Rank Salary ($M) Endorsements ($M) Total Compensation ($M)
Kobe Bryant 4 6 $20.3 $28.0 $48.3
LeBron James 5 3 $12.9 $33.0 $45.9
Kevin Durant 11 22 $14.0 $12.5 $26.5
Dwight Howard 14 10 $14.5 $11.0 $25.5
Carmelo Anthony 15 21 $14.9 $10.0 $24.9
Dwyane Wade 16 11 $12.6 $12.0 $24.6
Derrick Rose 19 N/A $5.6 $18.2 $23.9

Why Do Some Men Say That All Males Are Dangerous?
Taking home on lease or lease is at all times a challenge for tenants. They are specialists in property cleaning and know the best way to make every nook of the house filth or mud free with out inflicting any harm to the property. Based on this, it is as if girls are powerless children and males are adults who have full management.
For this, they have to preserve the protection and cleansing of the owner's home at a excessive level and deliver the property and its property in the same situation as it was when the lease was initiated. This could then show that the explanation he feels so dangerous about himself is because of how his mother treated him as a toddler.
If, on the other hand, a person was to say that "all women are dangerous", he is likely to have a very totally different expertise. One then has to wonder how many other people are there who're just as unhealthy – if not worse – who're being protected by the powers that be.
If these folks have been able to step out of their bubble, it would soon turn into clear who has the facility in at the moment's world, and it certainly isn't white men. Maybe, he has handled girls badly in his personal life. He didn't obtain the type of care that he needed throughout this time and this is then why he's searching for women to simply accept him.
Why Do Some Males Say That All Men Are Dangerous?
If someone hasn't been living underneath a rock for plenty of months, they are likely to be solely too aware of what has been taking place in Hollywood. If, then again, a person was to say that "all ladies are dangerous", he's more likely to have a really different experience. One then has to surprise what number of different individuals are there who are just as dangerous – if not worse – who are being protected by the powers that be.
If these people were capable of step out of their bubble, it'd quickly develop into clear who has the ability in in the present day's world, and it certainly is not white males. Maybe, he has handled ladies badly in his own life. He did not receive the kind of care that he wanted throughout this time and this is then why he is on the lookout for ladies to just accept him.
One of many things brings this house is how many people had been aware of what was going on and did nothing about it. To get the success in this property cleansing venture, tenants should have to rent end of lease cleaners. This is in part resulting from the fact that men (especially white males) are sometimes seen as being "privileged' and having all the power, which is then why it's acceptable to deal with them badly.
They are consultants in property cleaning and know how to make every corner of the house grime or dust free with out causing any harm to the assets. Based on this, it is as if women are powerless children and men are adults who've complete control.
For this, they should preserve the protection and cleaning of the proprietor's home at a high stage and ship the property and its property in the identical condition as it was when the lease was initiated. This could then show that the rationale he feels so bad about himself is because of how his mother handled him as a baby.
If someone hasn't been dwelling below a rock for plenty of months, they're more likely to be solely too conscious of what has been going down in Hollywood. As the mud has settled, loads has been stated about how this shows how unhealthy males are as a whole. What's interesting about all this is that a lot of the boys who've been accused supported Hillary Clinton during the last presidential election. What stands out right here is that that is also a man who is making an attempt to obtain approval from ladies, not males.
They're specialists in property cleansing and know how one can make each nook of the home dust or mud free without causing any damage to the belongings. Primarily based on this, it's as though ladies are powerless children and males are adults who have full management.
If, then again, a man was to say that "all ladies are bad", he's more likely to have a very completely different experience. One then has to surprise what number of different people are there who are simply as bad – if not worse – who're being protected by the powers that be.
One of the issues brings this house is how many individuals have been aware of what was occurring and did nothing about it. To get the success in this property cleansing venture, tenants ought to have to rent end of lease cleaners. This is in part attributable to the fact that men (particularly white males) are often seen as being "privileged' and having the entire energy, which is then why it's acceptable to deal with them badly.
If these individuals have been able to step out of their bubble, it might quickly develop into clear who has the facility in as we speak's world, and it actually is not white males. Possibly, he has treated girls badly in his own life. He didn't receive the kind of care that he wanted throughout this time and this is then why he's on the lookout for ladies to accept him.
For this, they must maintain the protection and cleaning of the proprietor's house at a excessive stage and ship the property and its assets in the same situation because it was when the lease was initiated. This might then show that the explanation he feels so unhealthy about himself is because of how his mother treated him as a child.

David's theory of evolution: God's error corrections III (Evolution)
by David Turell , Monday, September 28, 2020, 20:50 (112 days ago) @ David Turell
The issue of the requirement high speed is never acknowledged by dhw. I've found an example of the requirements:
https://inference-review.com/letter/on-the-origins-of-life
"In stark contrast, bacteria with all levels of complexity must generate at least 10,000 ATP molecules/second/µm2 within their cell membranes to simply maintain their integrity against the constant thermodynamic forces disrupting their homeostatic stability. A drop in power results in metabolism halting and the cell irreversibly decomposing into an amorphous conglomeration of simpler chemicals. The required energy production rate corresponds to 1 cm2 of a mica sheet driving trillions of energetically unfavorable reactions every second.
"The challenge lies in the fact that any prebiotic chemical system gradually moving away from equilibrium experiences increasingly strong thermodynamic forces pushing it back toward equilibrium.13 In turn, the system would require an increasingly large supply of chemical energy just to counterbalance these forces and even greater amounts to continue its progress toward an autonomous cell.
"Any evolving system of chemical processes would favor those that move the fastest towards lower free energy. In contrast, nearly every metabolic reaction within a cell does not occur spontaneously without supplied energy. If it were otherwise, the cell would be too slow to compete with countless other possible reactions in an ancient marine environment. Even if all life-relevant processes could occur as easily as abiotic processes, the chances that a random set of reactions and molecular structures coalesced into a viable cell is far too small to have ever occurred without high levels of orchestration."
Comment: I have used these quoted sections in a slightly off-kilter way. They are from a debate on the origin of life, but they make the point of the enormous amount of energy living cells require and the speed of turn over and production. Imagine the bacteria described above as an equivalent to each of your trillions of cells operating at all times under your intact skin. A rigid assembly line won't work so the molecules float freely in the cells liquid interior. God's design and errors can happen. God knew the problem and set up His editing systems.

The Thread: Why Is the Four-Fold Sangha Important?
Although separated by continents, three Dhamma friends have been having discussions on practice and theory for some time via email, in order to share their perspectives and learn from one another as they continue on a spiritual path. All are American; two are lay and one is monastic. Between them they have nearly a half-century of practice, and all have been to Burma on several occasions, where they have resided at monasteries for some time. They have offered to share their ongoing Dhamma talks with the greater community, as others may be interested in considering the ideas that are discussed. To see their entire collection of messages, please see here.
Gerald: I took a moment to re-read Ethan's suggestion that Bhikkhu Obhasa and I were painting Burmese Buddhism glowlingly. Actually, I disagree with both examples he gave. The three of us have a history in communication (that is, before we offered the idea of sharing this chat with the Burma-Dhamma audience), and from past discussions it has been suggested that we (Bhikkhu Obhasa and I) present Burmese Buddhism in too favorable a light, and so I wonder if this past consideration was applied to this previous round unduly.
For example, the following line was quoted by me: "a millennium-long experimentation on the part of the Burmese people regarding how one organizes and orients an entire society towards the adherence to the teachings of a single supreme spiritual teacher." When I wrote this, I was very intentionally not suggesting any positive or negative aspects beyond a historical fact that needs to be remembered. The word "experimentation" does not imply that they have successfully resolved or found the answer for how one creates a Dhammic society; only that the attempt (and which is sometimes a very messy attempt!) has been consistent. This was why I intentionally used "experimentation," rather than something like "effective implementation." Similarly, the latter part of the sentence highlights that the Burmese have oriented their society around a single spiritual teacher-- this is also not seen as either positive nor negative, but a statement of fact, as opposed to the spiritual marketplaces found amongst neo-atheists and Buddhist secularists in the modern U.S., or throughout India today as well as in the past. Some people would say that a pluralistic spiritual society is actually better!
Similarly, rereading Bhikkhu Obhasa's post (I'm not sure which specific line Ethan felt was "glowingly"), I find he has written much less on specific cases in Burma and specific cases in the West, and more on what it means to have and not to have a monastic system, in a universal sense. In other words, I don't find him supporting the Burmese system vis-a-vis the West, but rather expressing that lay connection to monastic systems are in general a powerful addition when seeking to practice the Buddha's teachings.
Of course, Bhikkhu Obhasa puts an entirely different spin on this discussion by suggesting we look less at the language Pannobhasa Bhikkhu introduced of an "Epic Battle" between the U.S./West and Burma, and more at what each can learn from the other.
Finally, I'd like to share an observation that Bhikkhu Obhasa and I had in person. We realized that Ethan's posts tend to be objective in nature, mine bring in history, and his concern the personal narrative. Looking at our own backgrounds, this makes sense. Ethan has spent the least time in Burma amongst the three of us, so his view is more concerned with general rules, principles, information, comparisons to other systems, etc., as he tries to understand this intellectually. Being in academia myself, I've read many books on the subject and my view has been informed by "how we got from there to here." Bhikkhu Obhasa has made a radical transformation in his own life, leaving the householder's life entirely behind by ordaining last year, and his journey from lay meditator to Buddhist monk makes all these facts and debates a very personal issue.
I think the beauty of this roundtable format is that these three different puzzle pieces can come together as they do, and it can allow us to look at a single subject from different layers. At the same time, it also presents a danger of miscommunication and misunderstandings, so I think it's helpful to be explicit about how we are approaching the subject, so that we can better understand one another and consider how we frame our writings. While expressing our individual strengths is a gift to the communication, I think it will also be good if we each allow ourselves to delve into the others' spheres as well; for example on my part to remember the power of including my own personal narrative, while also considering objective questions as they may look to an outsider.
To conclude, despite these superficial differences, we are all united by a commitment to the spiritual journey, and a respect that it takes different forms for different people, and we are here to explore those forms in this dialogue.
Ethan: To be clear, I was not accusing either of you of any kind of bias. My intention was only to highlight a point I felt had been downplayed in the discussion so far: that negative trends and influences are present in Burmese Buddhism as well. Since we all clearly agree that they are, I won't spend any more time on it.
In fact, while I enjoyed reading the "Epic Battle" post, I think the question of which system is better is ultimately unanswerable. Yes, certain systems are better at certain things, but in the end the best system is the one that best promotes spiritual progress, and that can vary greatly depending on the person, and can even differ at different times in an individual's life (or lives). One of the questions that came up after reading "Epic Battle" was whether Western Theravada needs a monastic system, and if so, what should it look like? Since we all agree the answer to the first question is "yes," what are your thoughts on the second? Since one of you has approaching a decade of experience living in a society with a Theravada monastic system and the the other has been an actual Theravada monk for (one? two?) years, I am very eager for your responses!
Bhikkhu Obhasa: As a preliminary to what a monastic system 'should' look like, I'd like to share more specifically why I think a monastic system, or more completely, why the entire four-fold sangha of monks, nuns, and lay men and women together, is important. I feel understanding what the value is will inform what it then might look like.
Valuing monastics is like valuing scientists in that supporting the field of scientists so they can devote full time to discovering things, benefits the people that support them. Monastics are different in the sense that they aren't trying to discover anything new, but they devote full time to replicating the grand experiment of liberation. And when there is success, this is a great inspiration for others.
In the last post it was stated that "in the end the best system is the one that best promotes spiritual progress..." and this was framed in terms of a person or individual. I think this is a bit too loose. In setting up the Vinaya for monks, the purpose wasn't only for the progress of the individual but also for the longevity of the teaching. I think this balance is more easily forgotten in the individualized western culture and that puts longevity at risk. Also I think progress towards the ultimate goal needs to be emphasized rather than just simply 'progress', as secondary benefits can come to be more emphasized and the highest goal marginalized, perhaps eventually even forgotten. These aims balance out what could otherwise become a self serving, short sighted system. In this regard, the communal monastic system seems far better poised to maintain this balance than individuals.
Monks an nuns spend their lives practicing and studying Dhamma. When they share that knowledge, they provide shortcuts to learning for others that don't have or make that time to dedicate to study. And since there are so many monks and nuns studying and practicing, there are bound to be available much variety in languages and ways of explaining that suit different people of different learning styles and different levels of understanding. This great pool anyone can lean on. It's a well anyone can drink from. Not only that, anyone can participate, for a short period or for life. This symbiotic interdependent relationship between monastics and laity is, in my opinion, the most stable, reliable, and sustaining system for spiritual progress.
So why would a monastic system be better for an individual than just learning Dhamma from individual lay teachers? First, that there are lay Dhamma teachers is great so it's not a matter of either/or and certainly lay teachers can be of great benefit. But I would say that lay teachers fare better and only actually exist BECAUSE OF the four-fold sangha, AS A PART OF IT, not seperate. Relying on a single Dhamma teacher that claims complete independence from monastic sangha is first of all, a farce because without the four-fold sangha, there wouldn't be any Dhamma to teach. It would be like a branch of a tree with no trunk or roots.
Second, relying on a single independent teacher in that way would be like relying on one scientist instead of a large pool of collaborating scientists with a deep history of research, shared contribution, renewed inspiration, and fresh successes. There's just no good reason to to cut yourself completely off from the pool (although there may be some good reasons to filter the water). Sharing in a greater sangha has the same benefits. It's alive and it has a momentum that helps carry everyone along. This is actually why the Buddha DIDN'T WANT monks to be independent of the laity. The four-fold sangha is communal and this sense of symbiotic interdependence helps to incline the mind away from individualist ego and more towards ideas like dependent arising. The larger the sense of sangha and the more one participates in it, the less strength of attachment there is to self, teacher, and technique. And the more momentum the sasana has, the more it can help us along.
Some say this mode, this system, is outdated. I however fail to see where these benefits, these values are not as relevant today as they ever were. I have focused mostly on benefits of the laity so far but there are also tremendous benefits for the monastics well beyond simply sustaining life via the four requisites. The mere act of being revered as is so abundant here in Myanmar makes me want to be worthy of that reverence, helps keep me on track and making effort to do my part to maintain the integrity of the monastic sangha. The results of striving then are shared with the laity who are naturally further inspired to support which further inspires me to striving. Around and around it goes in a cycle of mutual benefit.
Thanks for enduring the exegesis. I think in writing the above, I'm more clear on what conditions would need to arise for a naturally sustained four-fold sangha to exist but I'll speak more to that next time perhaps.
A Yogi Story: "Practice after Health Issues"


We'll be providing the results from our Membership Renewal Survey and offering a new "How to" Guide to Membership Renewal later this month. But in the meantime, here's a look at the 2012 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report from Marketing General Incorporated (MGI).
What is surprising, is the continued downward trend since 2009, shown by networking and access to specialized/current information. This contrasts with the upward trend reported for advocacy and continuing education.
If you'd like information on member engagement in activities; how much associations are spending on renewal efforts; specifics on changes in membership; and much more, you can request a copy of the 2012 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report - here.
We're also developing a Membership Renewal Guide that will be available in our Membership Knowledge Hub later this month - offering tips and advice about renewal for small associations and other membership organizations.
Tony: You're welcome - the report is full of great insight. We'll be sharing more of the data in our "How to Manage Membership Renewal" guide which we'll be launching later this month.

Back-to-School is the perfect time to reinstate healthy sleep habits and routines as a family.
As your child heads back to school, early mornings, days packed with learning and after school schedules filled with homework and extracurricular activities await them. And getting enough sleep will be crucial to their success.
Studies have shown that lack of sleep can contribute to serious health issues later in life.
Studies have shown that lack of sleep can contribute to serious health issues later in life, such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity. And, sleep has been shown to increase immunity and decrease the prevalence of chronic pain. A good bedtime and sleep routine will help your child adopt healthy habits early in life and avoid the complications of insufficient sleep later on.
How can you help your children transition from their relaxed summer sleep schedule to a successful back-to-school sleep schedule? Here are seven tips that will help you establish a good night's sleep during the school year, whether your kids are starting pre-school or entering their last year of high school.
Stay active. The more exercise your child gets throughout the day, the more energy they'll have burned off. This will make it easier for them to wind down at the end of the night. Enjoy the last few days of summer weather spending time being active as a family, swimming, biking, playing tag and having fun exploring outside. Make sure physical activity remains a priority in your child's routine to help them get a restful slumber.
Eat Healthy. Nutrition impacts the quality of your sleep. According to the Cleveland Clinic, some foods raise serotonin, a key hormone that promotes healthy sleep. Focus on incorporating complex carbs, lean proteins and fresh herbs into dinner recipes to increase your family's serotonin levels.
Power down before bed. Electronics emit a blue light that tricks the mind into believing it's daytime. And the content on these devices simulates the brain rather than settles it. All electronics should be turned off at least an hour before bedtime.
Create a relaxing bedtime routine. It's necessary to find a bedtime routine that works for your child. Perhaps, it's a relaxing bath after dinner, reading a few chapters of a book, doing a bedtime yoga sequence, singing a lullaby or sharing prayers or what they are thankful for – or a combination of a few of these. The goal is to create a routine that tells the brain it's time to start relaxing and settling down for bed.
Make the bedroom a sleep sanctuary. Take the opportunity to create an ideal sleep environment. Their bed should only ever be used for sleep and their bedroom should be uncluttered. In addition, during bedtime, the room should be as dark as they'll tolerate and cool, between 65 to 72 degrees. Try a sound machine or fan to create rhythmic white noise that can be relaxing and help drown out other sounds outside or in the house.
Lastly, practice what you preach. These tips are not only for kids. You can improve your own daily routine by getting a good night's sleep and increasing your energy throughout the day. And it sets a positive example for your kids. They'll feel more inclined to cooperate if the back-to-school sleep program is for the whole family.

Q: Adding Background to Negative Axis of WPF Path I have a path that I am using to display a bar chart / line graph. The path has values on both positive and negative x values.  I would like to shade the negative x axis with either a red color or a slanted line.
How to add relative background to WPF Path

A: I shifted the negative axis to the right and calculated the new positioning.  This meant I had to do additional calculations to determine the real location at any given time, but it worked.


Tip of the Hat to Berto Jongman.
Phi Beta Iota: This is terribly shallow. It's also so out of context as to be nearly useless. A more sophisticated focus would track where the top Islamic families have their wealth invested; populations of nominally assimilated as well as blatantly non-assimilated Muslims, and future potential for severe disruption from Muslim immigrants, both legal and illegal, growing so rapidly as to be inevitably destabilizing. For over a decade we have been calling for religious intelligence and counter-intelligence. Governments are not taking this seriously, and in the USA at least, do not have a population policy or a credible security strategy for immigration of all sorts.

"Michele Martin I've been going to this location for over 15 years. Mark and his team of professional mechanics have always accommodated my hours and provided unparalleled service. I highly recommend them!"
"I have been coming to Master Mechanic for over 6 years and they have always been friendly, helpful and honest. Never selling me services or repairs that I either don't request or need and with a 12 year old car it would be easy to do just that. I have and..."
Always friendly, helpful & honest, Thanks for the years of great service!
"I have been coming to Master Mechanic for over 6 years and they have always been friendly, helpful and honest. Never selling me services or repairs that I either don't request or need and with a 12 year old car it would be easy to do just that. I have and will continue to recommend this shop to others. Thanks to the entire team!"
"I've been going to this location for over 15 years. Mark and his team of professional mechanics have always accommodated my hours and provided unparalleled service. I highly recommend them!"
"Honest and professional guys always happy to help."
"Good old fashioned service with a smile. I have been a customer for over 15 years! Always accommodate to my schedule and definitely helps that they are local. Keep up the good work!"
"Friendly and honest mechanics! They took my car in right away after CAA towed me there. Within the hour it was repaired and I was off to work again. No non-sense and a pleasurable customer experience. I would highly recommend them anytime."
"Have never had any issues whatsoever. They are extremely friendly, quick and efficient! Would recommend highly."
"Overall a good experience. Friendly and quick service."
"This morning on her way to work, my wife's heat shield came loose on her 2006 Acura. I told her to take it to master mechanic we always use in Meadowvale. Not only did Craig greet her promptly, he took the car in right away and then did not charge her...in and out in a few minutes. This is why we will continue to use and recommend mark and his staff at Master Mechanic."
"Once again my "hero" mechanic to the rescue. I lost a good earing between the driver's seat and door. Mark retrieved it in no time. Mark and Master Mechanic in Meadowvale are the best!"
"I just want to thank you for taking such good care of me and my car in these past few weeks. Whether the emergency replacement of the alternator without an appointment, or the similarly short notice and desperate plea to replace my timing belt, or most recently, the oil change with the no-charge tire pressure check, your team has kept me on the road when it counted. (Which it pretty much always does, doesn't it?) Always on time, on budget and working in my best interest, your team has kept me mobile, safe, informed and most importantly, made me feel like a valued customer. For all that, I wanted to take a moment to thank you."
"Thank you for your expertise and sparkling personalities! Have a wonderful Easter weekend. "
"Thank you so much for helping me with my Neon a few weeks ago. I truly appreciate how easy going and friendly you both were and even though I don't know much about cars, you were able to explain things in a way I could understand. I also want to thank you for fixing it so quickly and for driving me to work. Enjoy the homemade chocolates. "
"From a Christmas card that read!for rescuing damsels in distress, have a Merry Christmas. "
"To Mark and all the guys at Master Mechanic. You are the best! Have a great Christmas season and best wishes for the new year from your friends."
"To the gentlemen at Master Mechanic, have a wonderful holiday and happy new year! Thank you for taking care of our vehicles all year."
"Thank you for taking the time (on a busy Saturday) to check my tire and ease my mind in driving my car around. It means so much to know you and the gentlemen at Master Mechanic care so much about your customers. Enjoy the chocolates! "
"I did want to let you know that Mark, Dustin and the rest of the guys at Master Mechanic will always have my business and I do not hesitate to recommend them to my friends. Last Fall, My 2001 Chevy Tahoe's air conditioner condenser decided that it had enough. Mark fixed the problem and brought it back to life. As the repair was late in the Fall, I didn't use the AC again until late April when the weather got warm. You guessed it!the AC would not work. While my car was in at MM to have my summer tires put back on plus my normal maintenance (we follow the GM manual), I had thoughts that most people have!Where did I put the receipt? How long would the warranty be good for? Should I roll up my sleeves on the way in or wait until they give me the bad news? I am sure happy that I didn't embarrass myself on the way in! Mark, Dustin and John were most concerned about finding the problem and getting it fixed. I know it wasn't their fault and I understand they invested considerable time in making it right. It is so refreshing to see a company that stands behind their work. It is a wonder that I have to book my appointments a week in advance because they are so busy. These guys really know what customer service is all about. Thanks for being a part of a company that cares. "
"Thanks, Mark, for all your expertise in keeping my car in good shape... and for the special way you give..."
"I must say that you are the best car service specialist I have ever had! Every time I get either one of my cars back from you after servicing, I feel like I'm driving a new (used) car. That's how safe I feel. It's a credit to the quality of work you do, but more importantly, it's a credit to your customer care...Thank you Mark and to your staff as well."
"My family and I have been using your auto services since 1988 and I cannot forget the enthusiasm and positive attitude of your team...we have the confidence and comfort to recommend others to you. We thank you for your customer service and...doing the little things right."
