David Hayter Must Die
Before He Ruins Everything
November 14, 2001 Andre Salles
David Hayter must die.
Seriously. I don't call for the elimination of another human being lightly, but this guy has simply got to go.
Before he ruins everything.
Who is David Hayter? Glad you asked. This is the hack behind the hackneyed script to the X-Men movie from last year. You remember it, right? Captain Picard vs. Richard III in a battle for mutantkind? Director Bryan Singer's first bad film? Remember?
Let me tell you about that first. The buzz in the comic book community (yes, there is such a thing) was that the X-Men movie, the first major Hollywood production based on a comic book since the death of the Batman franchise, would re-energize the industry. It would single-handedly prop the dying comics medium up and infuse it with hundreds, nay, thousands of new readers. The world would finally understand the complexities and subtleties of the comic format, and accept it as the art form it undoubtedly is.
The X-Men movie was supposed to save comics.
What the industry hasn't quite learned yet is that only good comics will save comics. And there are good comics, ones that should be marketed and made into movies and given mass exposure. From Hell is an excellent example, a superb comic book written by Alan Moore and drawn by Eddie Campbell. It delved into the secret history surrounding the Jack the Ripper case, balancing equal parts whodunit and conspiracy theory into a rich, masterful whole. The movie, adapted by the Hughes Brothers and starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham, came out a couple of months ago.
It was a disgrace.
They chopped up Moore's meticulous research and added a ridiculous Hollywood ending. They cast beautiful people with perfect teeth as poor prostitutes, and (by necessity) gutted huge chunks of Moore's overarching hypothesis. This film didn't make a single moviegoer interested in the book it came from. Ordinarily that wouldn't be a big deal – the filmmakers really don't care if you read John Irving's The Cider House Rules or John Grisham's The Firm, for example – but comics is the only mass communications medium in the world that seems to rely on other mediums to provide its own success.
Which brings us back to X-Men. Ideally, Hayter and Singer's film was supposed to bring new readers to the comics. X-Men is already one of the top-selling books in the industry, ranking at about 150,000 copies an issue. That, by the way, is a pathetically small number, even when compared with comics of 10 years ago that were selling in the millions per issue. The film was supposed to improve that number, and while it may have slightly, the film sucked. It only served to confirm to those not reading comics that they remain what their detractors consider them to be: adolescent superhero fantasies with no depth at all.
Here's the thing, though: X-Men the comic book sucks, too. As the industry's public face, it's a pretty poor ambassador, chock full of static characters in funny costumes beating the shit out of each other for the flimsiest of reasons. If anything, the movie was better than the comics, so those potential readers who saw the film and then sought out a comic shop were greeted by a convoluted mess of a comic with trite dialogue and lousy artwork.
As I said, only good comics will save comics. The last time the industry saw a resurgence was in the early '80s, culminating in 1986 with one of the best comics ever produced. It was a massive, perfectly executed examination of the superhero mythos and cold war politics. It was subtle, complex and literate, a true work of literature and, in many ways, the last word on superhero comics.
It was called Watchmen, and to this day few comics have surpassed it in scope and craftsmanship. It was written by Alan Moore (him again), simply one of the finest writers working today, and drawn by Dave Gibbons, an artist so sublime that you only understand how good he is through subsequent readings. Watchmen is a mystery at heart, and all the clues you need to solve it are there in Gibbons' artwork. You should know the main villain's identity before he even appears on stage.
Watchmen is an ideal choice for mass exposure. It works on numerous levels, and can be read as a superhero adventure, a commentary on mutually assured destruction, a psychological treatise on costumed heroics or a condensed history of comics from the '30s to the '80s. It is, hyperbole aside, a near-perfect comic, a synthesis of the finest elements of the art form, and as such, translating it to other media has proven nearly impossible.
Terry Gilliam tried it. He was gung-ho to write and direct the Watchmen film in the late '80s, and then he gave the treatment a go, and came up with an 8-hour, hundred-million-dollar outline. He deemed it an impossible project, even though he goes back to it every few years. Now, think about it. This is Terry Gilliam, the man who makes sense of the labyrinthine on a regular basis. He's filmed books that were deemed unflimable before (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), and wrapped complex structures into finely woven tapestries (12 Monkeys, for one). If he thinks Watchmen is unflilmable, well, I'm inclined to take his word on it.
But not David Hayter. Oh, no.
Here's a guy who thinks he can do it, and do it in two hours. In fact, based on the strength of X-Men, he's been given Watchmen as his directorial debut. The thinking probably goes that one comic is just as good as another, and if he can do X-Men, why not give him this other comic. That's like saying, "Well, this guy did a pretty good job of adapting the latest Stephen King book, let's give him Love in the Time of Cholera. A book's a book, right?"
Jeezus.
Strikes against him: First, he's never made a film. Terry Gilliam's made 12, and even he can't get his mind around Watchmen. Second, he wrote fucking X-Men, in which a character actually says, "Do you know what happens to a toad that gets struck by lightning? The same thing as everything else." That line's almost a master's thesis on bad grammar and shitty dialogue, and should be listed under "Don't Do This" in the scriptwriter's handbook. Third, Hayter thinks he can do this with no problem, which says to me that he has no idea of the scope and importance of the work he's adapting.
Why am I so worked up over this?
Because while it's true that only good comics will save comics, the industry can be brought down by bad representations of it in other media. Do you think any new Batman readers were gained through Batman Forever or Batman and Robin? No. And yet Fantagraphics noted a huge upswing in sales of Daniel Clowes' work after his graphic novel Ghost World was adapted into a critically-acclaimed film this year. Those outside the industry can only judge comics on what they see and hear of them. For 15 years they've been hearing about how great Watchmen is, but the film is what most people will experience first. If the movie makes them want to read the book, then terrific. If it doesn't, that was our one shot to sell Watchmen to the non-comics-reading world.
This project is going to happen. And it's going to suck.
So David Hayter has to die. That's the only thing that might derail the film. Comics are in too much of a slump to allow this travesty to continue. Find this arrogant bastard, this young Joe Eszterhas, and club him to death like a baby seal. And let him know that he's dying for the sake of art, for the sake of a work that he won't be allowed to mangle. And then club him some more.
And then go read Watchmen, if you haven't. It's worth it.
Next week, I promise to be more serious, and to talk about music. It should be a big one, all about the King of Pop.
See you in line Tuesday morning.

The social studies curriculum allows students to make sense of the world in which they live by understanding themselves and others, learning how people live now, how they lived in the past, and how society developed in different regions of the world. It also gives students an understanding of the importance of environment, religion, philosophy, and beliefs in motivating peoples' behavior.
Social Studies content objectives are drawn from the state curriculum framework. Students in 7th grade learn about early modern Europe and the Age of Exploration. In 8th grade, students study the birth and early development of the United States. They learn to recognize the American creed of equality and freedom and the basic principles of democracy as defined by the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Classroom objectives include the mastery of factual information, comprehension of text, research procedures, problem solving, and the development of attitudes and social skills. Activities in social studies classes include reading historical narratives, textbooks and newspaper articles, discussing current and past events, making individual and group presentations, role-playing important historical events, creating timelines, debating political and economic issues, writing outlines, developing summaries, and researching and writing reports.
In 7th Grade, students study the social, cultural, and technological changes that occurred in Europe, Africa, and Asia in the years A. D. 500 to 1789. They study the history and geography of great civilizations that were developing concurrently throughout the world during medieval and early modern times. They examine the growing economic interaction among civilizations as well as the exchange of ideas, beliefs, technologies, and commodities. They learn about the resulting growth of Enlightenment philosophy and the new examination of the concepts of reason and authority, the natural rights of human beings and the divine right of kings, experimentalism in science, and the dogma of belief. Finally, students assess the political forces let loose by the Enlightenment, particularly the rise of democratic ideas, and they learn about the continuing influence of these ideas in the world today.
In 8th Grade, students study the ideas, issues, and events from the framing of the Constitution up to World War I, with an emphasis on America's role in the war. They study the powers of government set forth in the Constitution and the fundamental liberties ensured by the Bill of Rights. Students trace the development of American politics, society, culture, and economy and relate them to the emergence of major regional differences. They learn about the challenges facing the new nation, with an emphasis on the causes, course, and consequences of the Civil War. They make connections between the rise of industrialization and contemporary social and economic conditions.


According to Abby L. Ferber, band-aids are a symbol of white privilege. Who is Abby L. Ferber? Sadly, she is a professor of sociology.
Not only of sociology but of Women's and Ethnic Studies. Or perhaps that should be Wimmin's and Ethnic Studies. Can she be serious? Unfortunately yes, she is one of those people who could find racism in an egg cup. Heck, she probably does, after all, aren't most eggs light rather than dark brown or black?
Above is a short video about her silliness and related non-issues that was put together by a YouTube subscriber, who unlike Professor Ferber has a sense of humour.
We must though ask the pertinent question: Why are band-aids white? Actually, they're not, rather they are approximately flesh coloured for a white person, or a Chinese for that matter.
They are probably so coloured because they were invented by a man named Earle Dickson; you will find a sketch of him here. Like his wife, he was white; it was she who inspired him by constantly cutting herself in the kitchen.
Now it could be that band-aids are racist and a sign white privilege, or it could be that sometimes light colours just seem natural and at other times, dark ones do. You wouldn't expect to see tennis players plying their trade dressed in black, and by the same token, snooker players tend to wear black suits, even tuxedos, at the table.
"Affirmative Action is no longer necessary.
Reality: Affirmative Action is still necessary to dismantle past and ongoing discrimination."
Right, racial discrimination is necessary to overcome racial discrimination. Yeah, we got that.
The greatest irony of her nonsense is that like those other academic non-entities Angela (revolutionary) Davis and Charlton (Missing White Woman Syndrome) McIlwain, Professor Ferber belongs to a highly privileged, pampered minority herself. Academics of her stature (joke) - female as well as male - enjoy high salaries, comfortable hours, long holidays, high social status and all manner of freebies including having their books - whatever their true merit - subsidised by their employers and tax exempt foundations.
How many white men working for McDonald's or Walmart on starvation wages wouldn't willingly change places with a member of an oppressed minority like her?

The global electric vehicle market was valued at $118,864.5 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $567,299.8 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 22.3% from 2018 to 2025. The electric vehicles are powered either by a collector system through electricity from charging station deployments or can be charged by self-charging devices such as regenerative braking systems, turbochargers, and others. According to the Norwegian Road Federation, a public road infrastructure administration in Norway, pure electric cars and hybrid cars in Norway accounted for 52% of all new car sales in 2017 as against 40% in 2016. Norway's parliament has set a resolution goal that by 2025 all cars sold should be zero emissions.
China is a potential market for electric vehicles, as it has the maximum number of electric vehicles manufacturing industries. According to Forbes, Chinese automakers churned out 680,000 all-electric cars, buses, and trucks in 2017, more than the rest of the world combined. China produced more than 200,000 all-electric commercial vehicles last year, amounting to nearly 5% of the total output of the world.
The demand for electric vehicles is governed by increase in demand for fuel-efficient, high-performance, and low-emission vehicles. In addition, the trend of reduction in vehicular emission due to stringent rules & regulations in several countries and growth of public charging infrastructure in China, France, Norway, and the other developed countries is fueling the market growth. However, high manufacturing cost of electric vehicles and low fuel economy & serviceability restrain the electric vehicle market growth. Moreover, technological advancements in electric vehicles and proactive government initiatives are expected to unfold various opportunities for the growth of the stakeholders of the electric vehicle market, such as system integrators, vehicle manufacturers, engine manufactures, and component providers, in future.
Several laws and regulations have been enacted globally by countries to monitor vehicular emission. Many countries have adopted previous versions of European or United Nations Economic Commission for Europe ("UN-ECE") mobile source emission regulations. Some countries have adopted more advanced regulations based on the most recent version of the European or the U.S. regulations. For instance, China adopted emission regulations for large cities based on European Stage V emission standards. Taiwan and Korea have adopted the U.S.-based stringent standards for gasoline vehicles, and European-based standards for diesel vehicles. These factors are expected to promote growth of the market in future.
The leading market players in the market focus to expand their business operations in emerging countries. These companies have consistently introduced innovative solutions to enhance their product portfolio.
Thus,expansion and product launch are two prominent growth strategies adopted by these players.

7.7. NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.
Electric vehicles are promising technologies with respect to the reduction of global vehicular emission. The advent of electric vehicles is a paradigm shift in the modern world. Automobile manufacturers are inclined towards electric and alternative fuel vehicles due to increase in vehicle emission regulations.
Moreover, growth in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles is a key driver of the market across various countries, owing to the focus of companies on manufacturing fuel-efficient and low-cost electric vehicles. In addition, electric vehicles are currently augmented with other electronic systems, such as self-driving assist, telematics control, and tire pressure monitoring system, to provide more vigilance and comfort, which augments the market growth. However, high manufacturing cost and reduced life of the electronic parts restrain the market growth.
Stringent emission laws & regulations are compelling the automobile manufacturers to equip their vehicles with alternative fuel technologies, resulting in increased overall market adoption of electric vehicles.
The market in the developed countries, such as the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Germany, is projected to report a slower growth rate as compared to the developing regions, such as South Africa, China, and the Middle East, owing to the rapid industrialization and high sales of vehicles in developed region.
Various companies have also tried to expand their business by opening various manufacturing facilities in the developing countries, such as India, South Africa, to develop electric vehicles for commercial purposes.
North America is expected to witness the highest adoption of electric vehicles, owing to the growth in density of automobiles, booming economy, and rise in buying power of customers. Also, countries, such as India and South Korea, offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the electric vehicle market as they have a large volumetric base of two-wheelers and implementation of stringent vehicular emission norms.

Alain Bouchard's transformation of Alimentation Couche-Tard from a single convenience store into a $35-billion retail empire is one of the country's more successful business stories of the past 40 years. But recent years haven't been without their trials. In 2015, less than a year after retiring as CEO of convenience store giant, the executive chairman, along with his three co-founders, put forward a resolution to extend their time-limited voting control—the group holds 22% of the company's equity—to ward off any future takeover attempts. To Bouchard's admitted shock, proxies indicated support for the plan was well below the 67% required to pass, and the resolution was withdrawn.
Then, in a shareholders' meeting this September, Bouchard expressed doubt in the founders' ability to retain ownership. "There aren't a lot of solutions here," he told the Globe and Mail. "We've tried. I'm not optimistic."
But with a market capitalization north of $30 billion, Couche-Tard makes a hard target. And with the synergies flowing from its consolidation of its various brands under the Circle K moniker, and the company's US$3.8-billion acquisition of Texas gas and convenience store chain CST Brands Inc. last summer, it'll get harder still.

Q: Unable to get Current Location Using Jquery-ui-map v3 on IBM Worklight I am using jquery-ui-map V3 plugin for a map module in Worklight app. My code works in Mobile Browser Simulator. But when I try to run it in android device then I am unable to get location. Internet on Device is working also GPS is turned on. I have also added ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in Android manifest file.
Here is the code:

    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/Ambit/nearestLocation.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.map.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.map.services.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.map.overlays.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ui.map.extensions.js"></script>
    </head>

nearestLocation.js:

$('#FindATM').live("pageshow", function () {
  $('#map_canvas').gmap().bind('init', function () {
      $('#map_canvas').gmap('getCurrentPosition', function(position, status) {

         if ( status === 'OK' ) {
                var clientPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
                $('#map_canvas').gmap('addMarker', {'position': clientPosition, 'bounds': true,'zoom': 11});
                $('#map_canvas').gmap('addShape', 'Circle', {
                    'strokeWeight': 0,
                    'fillColor': "#008595",
                    'fillOpacity': 0.25,
                    'center': clientPosition,
                    'radius': 10,
                    'clickable': true

                });

        alert("If block is not executed on Android device. It does on Mobile Browser simulator");
               }

                  });
                 });
               });

A: When using web based maps on Android, in the past, I've found I need to add to manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION_EXTRA_COMMANDS"/>

Also need to enable on the device or avd image GPS satellites and Location Services.
There maybe more refine approach, but this work last time I had to get it working.


See the top 6 trends from the collections.
Cruise, pre-spring, resort—a season by any other name would look as chic. Shakespeare riffs aside (apologies, bard), the collections revealed looks worthy of any main season, complete with emerging trends to note. See the top six from Resort 2014, from a streetwear fabric redux to lush tropical prints, peek-a-boo lace and beyond. Plus, peruse the season's best looks.
With a nod to the high seas, designers eschewed campy takes on nautical in favor of fresh iterations that will have the style set demuring, "hey, sailor."
Even pink's most vehement naysayers may find themselves taking a walk on the pretty side after seeing the season's best blushes done up in everything from leather to ruffled gowns.
Daring is the word for these lacy looks that eschew anything as pedestrian as lining — it's time get your underthings in order for resort's show and tell.
In case you thought it was an ab-flaunting flash in the pan, designers are making it clear that the crop top has staying power. For those who prefer a little mystery, there were collections that showed more covered-up versions as well. Democracy thrives.

21 Nov 2016 - Insights in repairing DNA-protein crosslinks.
Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer and aging. Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt now discovered the molecular cause for genetic instability in patients suffering from a rare segmental progeroid syndrome named Ruijs-Aalfs syndrome. The syndrome leads to premature aging and early onset liver cancer.
"Until now, it was unclear how these patients, carrying mutations in the metalloprotease SPRTN, succumb to the disease", comments Ivan Dikic, director of the Institute of Biochemistry II.
Dikic's team has now shown that SPRTN is required for repairing a specific type of DNA damage, so called DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs). Crosslinks are extremely toxic for cells as they prevent proper chromosome duplication. Cells deficient in SPRTN functions are sensitive to chemotherapeutic treatments which usually induce crosslink formation.
The results reported by the Frankfurt team follow in the footsteps of a breakthrough discovery by the late Stefan Jentsch (Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Munich), who was the first to identify a dominant role for the yeast Wss1 protease in resolving DNA-protein crosslinks. SPRTN is now the first mammalian protease for which such an essential function was shown. Moreover, SPRTN cannot functionally complement Wss1 function in yeast, indicating to the presence of a family of DPC metalloproteases with related functions.
The results of this study have been published in eLife online (Lopez-Mosqueda et al.). Two additional reports from the Francis Crick Institute in London (Stingele et al., Mol Cell 2016) and from Oxford University (Vaz et al., Mol Cell 2016) describe similar roles for SPRTN in mammalian DPC repair.

Q: Related Posts logic on Yii2 blog I have a custom CMS built on Yii2 and I need "related posts" functionality. The problem is I don't fully understand how to build an "appropriate" MySQL query. The way I see it:

*

*we have Post X with tag A, tag B, tag C...

*we cross-reference all the Posts under tags A, B, C...

*we obtained N posts and we need to sort them from the most referenced to the least referenced

*profit

But I don't know how to put all this into MySQL. everything I google'd is not working.
any help will be appreciated.
