Digital narcotics » Dark Dolls free HD VJ loop.
For some reason, there would appear to be a dark theme running through some of the content I put out online (via VJLoops or Videopong etc.) and it seems to be manifesting itself in an attempt to scare the bejeszuz out of people at events. True, I've tried on occasion to strobe people int submission before, and the use of Pennywise the clown generally results in a mixed bag of people running towards me in tears, however with this in mind I'd like to introduce you to another doll related collection of loops. One of which is up for grabs here on this very sight!
The remainder of them as they currently stand (or lie) are available over at the very friendly website run by Kyle (http://www.vjloops.com/). Do feel free to take a look.
Alternatively, bag yourself a free, dark n twisted VJ loop nice n simply. Click the image below to grab the clip.


IIITA Hacks was a Student held hackathon organized by me from 10th September 2016.
IIITA Hacks was organized as part of Technical Society from 10th to 11th September 2016. It was a 17 hour hackathon with a participation of 150 students from the Institute.
IIITA Hacks was an exclusive for the students of Indian Institute of Information Technology,Allahabad ,serving for the purpose for increasing the hackathon culture in the Institute. It also served as our odd semester hackthon complementing out even semester major hackthon Hack In the North, which i am also a part of. Hack In the North is presently india's biggest student held hackthon.
The event was organized on two labs of Computer Center 3 of IIIT-A. Participants had to code for 17 hours followed by a presentation at Admin Audi of the Institute.
The event Rules and Regulations followed by team registration was done in front of CC3 at 9:00 pm on 10 th of September. Teams had to register online on a google form previously. The teams were alloted one to two first years as extra help for their task in hand.
The Participants went to there alloted labs and started coding very soon. Our organizers helped teams in fixing their minor bugs as they can. Teams were given free goodies on the spot by the Organisers to encourage them on thier effort. Refreshments such as coffe,colddrinks and snacks were provided for the Participants during the event.
After vigorous coding efforts the Participants then proceeded to Admin Audi. All the teams were judged by Dr. Rahul Kala and winners were decided soon after it was over. Top projects can be viewed here.
I had a lot of fun organizing one of the Institute's largest hackthon's till date. It had around 300 applications ,150 Participants and more than 20 final projects. I hope it will be better the next version.


Schools Minister, David Laws has given Cambridge MP Julian Huppert assurances that infant school children will still receive the same level of Pupil Premium when all children are entitled to free school meals.
Julian raised his concerns after it was not clear how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools based on the number of pupils receiving free school meals, would be calculated when the new system is introduced.
But Liberal Democrat Minister, Mr Laws reassured Julian that "schools will continue to receive Pupil Premium funding on the same basis as before".
Free school meals for all infant children and the Pupil Premium, which is designed to make sure every child gets a fair start by giving those from poorer families the extra help needed to keep up with their classmates, were launched by the Liberal Democrats.
Julian said later: "The Pupil Premium has been very well-received in Cambridge and schools report that it has made a big difference to youngsters from disadvantaged families giving them extra support and helping to make an easier transition from primary to secondary school.
"I want to make sure that when we provide free school meals for all infant school children the government has a fail-safe allocation system in place which means that none of the children benefiting from the Pupil Premium miss out.

Two fifths of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah leave the band
Leonie Cooper Jul 6, 2012 8:14 pm BST
Credit: Ed Miles/NME
Tyler Sargent and Robbie Guertin will play their final show with the band at the CBGB Festival
Both Tyler Sargent and Robbie Guertin of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have announced their plans to leave the band.
Bassist Sargent and multi-instrumentalist Guertin broke the news via the band's website, clapyourhandssayyeah.com, in two separate posts.
The band's free show as part of the CBGB Festival tomorrow (July 7) in New York's Times Square will be the last time that the current line-up ever plays together. The Hold Steady, Duff McKagan's Loaded and Superchunk will also play the event.
Guertin announced his plans to leave the band earlier this week, writing: "Being a member of Clap has been an incredible experience, but I have decided to move on and see what's next. I will continue to make music with my other band, Radical Dads, pursue miscellaneous artistic endeavors, and also grow some vegetables. I am excited to see what else might come my way. Maybe some tomatoes?"
Sargent revealed his own plans earlier today, explaining: "I am very proud of what this band has accomplished over the past eight years, and I will miss playing with such talented musicians. I wish Alec, Sean and Lee the best of luck with whatever CYHSY does in the future."
He continued: "I wish Robbie the best of luck with his musical and horticultural endeavors. As for me, I am currently in the process of forming a presidential exploratory committee for 2016."
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah released their third album, 'Hysterical', in 2011.

Getting around Singapore Zoo
Singapore Zoo map
Find me in
Get to know the Cheetahs
Together, we protect wildlife
6-8 years in the wild
17-19 years under human care
Gazelle, kob and impala,
also hares and wildebeest
From dry forest
and thick scrub to grassland and hyperarid deserts
Strongholds in southern
and eastern Africa
A supple spine, long limbs, protruding claws and ridges on its footpads aid the cheetah in achieving a top speed of up to 115km/h. It can keep this up for all of 20 seconds and no more than 400m, so it approaches to within 30m of its quarry before its final attack. When it gets within striking distance, it trips its prey over with a sideways stroke of its forepaw or brings it down from the rear using its dewclaw (extra sharp claw on the inside of the foreleg).
Chirping cheetahs
A cheetah mum makes chirruping calls to signal to her cubs to join her in feeding on a fresh kill. She may also call for them with a throaty purr if they have wandered off from their den. Her young respond with chirps. Cheetah mums shift dens every few days to prevent the build-up of their scent, which may attract predation from lions or hyenas.
If separated, members of a male coalition may also "yipp" and "churr" for up to 20 minutes at a go, till they're reunited.
Last of the Asiatics
Cheetahs have disappeared across most of their Asian range due to live capture. Captured cheetahs were tamed and trained to hunt deer and gazelle as sport for royalty. The depletion of wild prey and habitat fragmentation have also contributed to their demise. The Asiatic cheetah is now Critically Endangered, with only about 80 left in Iran. An active pet trade market remains in the Gulf States and live cheetah cubs are being smuggled out of Africa to meet this demand.
Breeding success
In the wild, cheetahs are solitary or live in small groups. Males and females usually do not cross paths unless it's breeding time. Though difficult to breed in zoos, we have successfully bred our cheetahs by separating the male and the female and introducing them only when the female is ready to mate.

Stewartstown skipper: I couldn't bear to watch agonising penalty shoot-out
Stewartstown captain Mark Rooney lifts the trophy after his side's win over Drumlane in the Ulster Club JFC final at Clones Picture: Adrian Donohoe Photography
Francis Mooney
STEWARTSTOWN captain Mark Rooney couldn't bear to watch the penalty shoot-out that decided the Ulster Club JFC final.
He turned his back on the nerve-shredding action as it all came down to the crude contrivance that would reward one side and heap despair and devastation on the other.
Dramatic and intoxicating it may have been, but equally cruel in the arbitrary manner of its mechanism, and it was the Harps who came out on the right side of it, winning 5-4 to take the title.
Rooney only re-connected with his team-mates when Drumlane's final kick crashed against the crossbar, and the joy was unleashed.
"I didn't see the penalties, so I can't really talk about it. I couldn't watch," he said.
"So far play to the lads who stepped up, because that's brave of them."
Anton Coyle and Theo Lowe were the spot kick heroes, netting two apiece as the sequence went to sudden death after the teams were tied at 3-3 following five penalties apiece, while Greg Kelly pulled off a vital save.
"Penalties is no way to win a game. The football was over at that stage, and it came down to a bit of luck, but I was just glad to get the cup and take it home," Rooney added.
The Stewartstown skipper hailed the courage of a team that produced heroics while playing almost the entire second half with 14 men.
"It was probably hunger. We didn't want to be in junior football, and that's an Ulster title and a double in Tyrone.
"We're still unbeaten, and that's an absolute credit to those boys. We don't lie down, we don't lose."
The prospects for the Tyrone men were looking bleak when they lost ace attacker Gareth Devlin to injury and had Tiernan Rush sent off inside the opening five minutes of the second half, already trailing and playing into the wind.
But their 14 warriors battled heroically to keep themselves in the game, going in front for the first time through defender Connor Quinn in the 60th minute, before Ryan Connolly brought the Cavan men level in stoppage time.
Dan Lowe's goal had them in front again in extra-time, but two Drumlane scores from Michael Owens set up the dreaded shoot-out.
"The first half was tough. We were glad to be going in at half-time only two points down.
"When Gareth pulled up with injury at the start of the second half, it wasn't looking good, but it's an absolute credit to boys like Anton Coyle, coming off the bench and having the game of their lives.
"We just stuck at it. I don't know how many men were pulling up there with cramp, but we got through it, I don't know how."
And when Rush picked up a second yellow card, risks had to be taken at the back.
"At that stage we were man for man at the back. But Kyran Robinson, Darren Devlin, boys like that, we had to leave them one on one.
"We were confident with them, and then we were smart with the ball up top.
"We kept the ball and were patient, chipped over the scores."
Now Stewartstown are preparing for a trip to Scotland to take on British champions Glasgow Gaels in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
"Ulster was bonus territory, and thankfully we pushed on after the first game," said Rooney.
"Once you get the first game over you, you get on a bit of a run.
"Come Wednesday or Thursday we'll have a couple of men back at training and get focused in again."

Q: What does spaces.Discrete mean in OpenAI Gym I try to learn MC- Monte Carlo Method applied in blackjack using openAI Gym. And I do not understand these lines:
def __init__(self, natural=False):
    self.action_space = spaces.Discrete(2)
    self.observation_space = spaces.Tuple((
        spaces.Discrete(32),
        spaces.Discrete(11),
        spaces.Discrete(2)))
    self.seed()

Source from: https://github.com/openai/gym/blob/master/gym/envs/toy_text/blackjack.py

A: The observation space and the action space has been defined in the comments here
Observation Space:
The observation of a 3-tuple of: the player's current sum,
the dealer's one showing card (1-10 where 1 is ace),
and whether or not the player holds a usable ace (0 or 1).

eg: (14, 9, False) means the current sum is 14, card shown is 9 and there is no usable ace(because ace can be used as 1 or 11)

Action Space:
The player can request additional cards (hit=1) until they decide to stop
(stick=0) or exceed 21 (bust).

Discrete spaces are used when we have a discrete action/observation space to be defined in the environment. So spaces.Discrete(2) means that we have a discrete variable which can take one of the two possible values.
In the Blackjack environment,
self.action_space = spaces.Discrete(2)
# here spaces.Discrete(2) means that action can either be True or False.

self.observation_space = spaces.Tuple((
        spaces.Discrete(32),
        spaces.Discrete(11),
        spaces.Discrete(2)))
# here spaces.Discrete(32) corresponds to the 32 possible sum of card number possible
# here spaces.Discrete(11) corresponds to the 11 possible cards which can be dealed
# by the dealer: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10(king,queen,jack),11(ace if possible)]
# here spaces.Discrete(2) corresponds to the two possible uses of the ace: [True, False]
# True if it can be used as 11.

A U.S.-based group representing expatriate Mohajirs on Tuesday demanded creation of an autonomous "Greater Karachi" within Pakistan.
"Today on civil rights legend Dr Martin Luther King Jr Day, the Voice of Karachi formally demands the State of Pakistan to declare the urban areas of Sindh province as an autonomous region within the boundaries of Pakistan. We have unanimously decided to call this region Greater Karachi," Voice of Karachi chairman Nadeem Nusrat said at a news conference here.
Once a close aide of Mohajir leader Altaf Hussain, Washington DC-based Mr. Nusrat founded the Voice of Karachi a year ago.
Mr. Nusrat, who is living in self-exile in the US, said members and leaders of his organisation arrived at this conclusion after extensive research and deliberation.
"This solution, we believe, will adequately resolve urban Sindh's civic, economic and political issues and will also act as a role model to resolve similar situations in Pakistan's other regions," he said at a news conference, which was also addressed by former Congressman Tom Garett, who is now an adviser to the Voice of Karachi.
Citing the example of the Balkan region and autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq, Mr. Nusrat asserted that Karachi, with an estimated population of 25 million, deserves a similar status.
"Since the creation of Pakistan, the province of Sindh has never had an elected Mohajir chief minister despite the presence of majority Mohajir population in Sindh," he rued.
Supporting Greater Karachi as an autonomous region, Mr. Garrett said declaring urban areas of Sindh as an autonomous region within the boundaries of Pakistan is not a strange phenomenon.
"Pakistan hurts itself by hurting its minority community in Karachi," he said.
"What Voice of Karachi has done here tonight is to submit that they want to be full and complete participants in the governing of the lands where they are majority, not to the detriment of a greater Pakistan, but to the benefit of all. That's not radical. That's just right," Mr. Garrett said.
The term Mohajir is used to describe the Urdu-speaking immigrants who left India in 1947 and came to Pakistan. A large chunk of them settled in the Sindh province.

Why improving feminine hygiene in developing countries changes lives.
Why feminine hygiene is the key to educating the world's girls.
Girls in Uganda with their AFRI pads.
A 14-year-old girl in Australia is getting ready for school.
She has a shower, dries herself off with the not-so-fluffy towel, and puts on her school uniform. As she stands in the bathroom fixing her hair, she reaches into the cabinet and pulls out a tin of tampons. She places the tin in her school bag, goes downstairs, finishes her bowl of cereal and then runs along to start her day.
Nothing standout about that situation, right?
Just as an FYI, you should know that this post is sponsored by Moxie. But all opinions expressed by the author are 100% authentic and written in their own words.
Well, compare the story of that young girl to the story of a 14-year-old girl living in Uganda. On the same day, in a different country, this girl also has her period and is due at school in the morning. But the difference here is that when this young girl gets her monthly period, she doesn't have access to disposable pads and tampons like girls in first world countries do.
Feminine hygiene in developing countries is very different to here in Australia. Pads and tampons as we know them are just too expensive.
Instead this young girl uses leaves, newspaper, old rags or toilet paper. It's hardly a solution but it's all she can do. And if that's not terrible enough, chances are that this girl will have to skip up to five days of school every month because she's too ashamed and uncomfortable that her home-made pad might leak or fall out during her day.
In some third world countries like Uganda, where 80 per cent of the population live in rural areas, young girls are missing up to 20 per cent of the school year because they don't have access to pads and tampons. Some of these girls will miss so much school they'll fall behind. In a worst case scenario, they might have to drop out.
It's hard to believe that this is all because they can't afford adequate female hygiene products.
What can we do to help the women of Uganda?
The good news is that there is simple way that each and every one of us can help; and it's as easy as going to the supermarket and picking up a packet of pads.
Australian feminine hygiene brand Moxie (you might know them as the company that makes tampons in a tin) have recently teamed up with AFRIpads – an organisation based in Uganda that make and distribute low-cost cloth washable sanitary pads. The pads are given to young girls living in rural areas who might otherwise not have access to adequate sanitary products. Each 'Deluxe Menstrual Kit' donated will last each girl one year.
Moxie has made a promise. For every packet of Moxie Slenders Liners, Slenders Pads and Sleepovers Pads that is sold in Australia, they're going to provide the equivalent amount of reusable pads to school girls in Uganda.
And that's something that's worth celebrating.
It means young girls in Uganda won't need to skip school anymore because they have their period; they won't have to worry that their homemade pads will leak during class or that they'll fall out if they're playing sport outside.
The other amazing thing about this initiative is that it will provide jobs. The more pads that AFRIpads produce, the more women they'll employ in local factories to create them, which also allows them to send their own kids to school, as well as open bank accounts and save for the future. It's a win-win really.
In Australia, it's easy for us to take access to everyday items like tampons and pads for granted. When we get our periods each month, we walk the seven or so steps to the bathroom and pull out a tin from the cabinet. On a bad day, we might have ask a colleague if we can borrow some or, at worst, we may have to jump in the car and drive to the corner store or the supermarket to pick some up.
So the next time that's you, the next time you're standing in the aisle thinking about what brand to buy, stop and think about how you can make a difference.
There's one more thing you can do: Please share this post, and help raise awareness for women in Uganda.
Millions of girls living in developing countries, like Uganda, miss up to 20 per cent of the school year because they don't have access to adequate feminine hygiene products to help them manage their periods whilst they are at school.
Moxie wants to put a stop to these high rates of absenteeism to give girls a better chance to complete their schooling – so they've teamed up with AFRIpads (afripads.com), a social organisation based in Uganda, which facilitates the manufacture and distribution of low cost, reusable, cloth sanitary pads. The pads are made locally by Ugandan women, allowing them to generate an income to also help send their own kids to school.
Providing reusable pads is more sustainable in the Ugandan environment where there are no adequate, sanitised means of disposal; hence each girl is provided with a "Deluxe Menstrual Kit" of washable sanitary pads that will last her for one year.
For every packet of Moxie Slenders Liners, Slenders Pads and Sleepovers Pads sold in Australia during this project, Moxie will send the equivalent amount of locally made, re-usable pads to Ugandan school girls.
By buying Moxie pads, you are personally contributing to young Ugandan women getting the education they deserve.


In the days of steam trains, water columns would have been a familiar sight at many stations. The arm would swing out and allow the water in the tender to be topped up.
Its no longer operational and the tank is now full of mud.
I wonder if this could be brought back into use for the NYMR trains which sometimes come to Battersby?
It was in use for Steam Excursions along the Esk Valley.
That tank is just for overflow and wasn't stsndard, usually there was just a drain cover on the ground.
There's one at Battersby on the Esk Valley line but it is presently non-operational. I believe the pipe from the tank is damaged.
Back in the days when the Signal Box was permanently manned and trains had to swap tokens.

The Ford Government passes the buck on #ClimateAction #ONpoli
November 30, 2018 Laurel L. Russwurm climate change, consultation, Green Party of Ontario, Mike Schreiner	Climate Action, Ontario
Ontario's new "Climate Policy" is passing the buck to us. As with the previous government, ordinary people are encouraged to renovate our homes and buy more fuel efficient cars. But now, the program subsidies that would help us do these things are gone. Even worse, our tax dollars will go into a fund to reward industries who pollute now.
So. People get no help to do our part. Instead, our tax dollars will go to fuel big businesses.
Sounds like money out of our pocket. Again.
You can read it yourself here:

Mike Schreiner on Ontario's new "Climate" Plan
"We were promised a climate strategy, but were given a litter reduction plan.
If this is the government's response to the dire warnings from the IPCC about the impending climate catastrophe, then they clearly were not listening.
Instead of showing leadership, the government is weakening Ontario's previous targets and adopting an unproven carbon trust model that is unlikely to reduce emissions. The new Trudeau/Harper targets mean that we will fail to meet the goals set under Paris Climate Agreement.
More importantly we will not meet our obligations to leave a livable planet for our children and grandchildren.
Asking citizens to pay polluters and setting up burdensome new regulations will only cost more and delay action. These will do little to put Ontario on a pathway to being carbon neutral by 2050. Instead, they signal that Ontario is throwing in the towel.
And asking Ontarians to reduce litter in the face a climate crisis is like the US President asking Californians to rake leaves to prevent forest fires.
We should expect better. We must demand a real plan.
Pollution pricing is basic economics. But this government continues to ignore the consensus from scientists, experts and even conservative economists who agree on it. The Premier could embrace the $26 trillion clean economy and put money directly in people's pockets by adopting the Green Party's carbon fee and dividend solution.
At the end of the day, we will all pay the price for this irresponsible plan. But in the face of evidence and real solutions, this government has chosen to be on the wrong side of history."

Mike Schreiner on Bill 57 #ONpoli
November 27, 2018 November 27, 2018 Laurel L. Russwurm Debates & Panel Discussions, GPO2018, Green Party of Ontario, Mike Schreiner
I don't think it's just me. Or even partisanship. Every time Mike Schreiner speaks in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, he makes a lot of sense.
Yesterday Mike rose to debate Bill 57, speaking against:
the elimination of independent legislative officers,
dismantling checks and balances,
a resurgence of big money dominance of Ontario politics,
further erosion of transparency, and
more centralization of power.
Watch the 6 minute video and see who is representing us at Queen's Park:

Should Fracking and Tarsands Expansion be *EXEMPT* from environmental review?
November 17, 2018 November 12, 2018 Laurel L. Russwurm Environment, Uncategorized	bitumen extraction, environmental protection, fracking, oil sands, tar sands
If the Trudeau Government goes ahead and does *this* it will make it even harder to stop such projects even when it's clear they aren't in the public interest thanks because of all the ISDS clauses in all the so called "free trade" agreements our governments keep signing. I don't think this is what voters envisioned when candidate Justin Trudeau's campaign promises about fixing the regulatory framework.
Here's what Environmental Defence has to say:
Canada's government is proposing to exempt two of the highest-carbon types of projects in the country—fracking and in situ tar sands projects – from the federal environmental review process.
As part of the federal government's reform of the environmental laws that guide the review process for energy and industrial projects, it has proposed a new approach to the list of projects that are legally required to undergo a federal impact assessment.
The list currently includes everything from coal mines to pipelines to refineries to airports to offshore wind farms. Fracking and in situ tar sands developments are notably absent from the list.
In addition to questions about chemicals, earthquakes and groundwater contamination, the carbon pollution from fracked gas can be as high as coal. Meanwhile, the oil industry is planning to massively expand in situ tar sands projects, which by 2030 are projected to emit as much carbon as all of the personal vehicles in the country. Yet the federal government wants to give fracking and in situ a free pass on environmental impact assessments.
Tell the federal government to frack off. ALL high-carbon projects must get a federal impact assessment.
If you agree with us that this is a very bad idea indeed, use the handy Environmental Defence tool to send a letter to Catherine McKenna (Environment and Climate Change Minister), Amarjeet Sohi, (Natural Resources Minister, and your local MP.

A made-in-Ontario Climate Change Plan

Russwurm 2018, climate change, consultation, Environment	2016, Bardish Chagger, Bryan May, Canadians for Carbon Dividends, Canadians for Clean Prosperity, Cap and Trade, carbon pricing, carbon tax, Conservative MP, Consultation: A made-in-Ontario climate change plan, Green House Gas emissions, Harold Albrecht, ipcc (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Kitchener, Liberal MPs, Marwan Tabbara, McGuinty-Wynne Liberals, Mike Harris Sr PC government, Patrick Brown, Raj Saini, Waterloo Region Climate Change Consultation
Liberal MPs Marwan Tabbara, Bardish Chagger, Raj Saini, Bryan May and Conservative MP Harold Albrecht Waterloo Region Climate Change Consultation, Kitchener, 2016
When I attended the Kitchener Climate Change Consultation in 2016 it was incredible to see all 5 Waterloo Region MPs in attendance, not just the 4 new Liberal MPs, but my own Conservative MP Harold Albrecht was there too.
Facilitator David Weber
Unsurprisingly 3 of our WRGreen candidates were there helping facilitate the discussions.
I believe our Kitchener Climate Consultation was the biggest one held across Canada. It had more than a full slate of MPs, there were hundreds of engaged citizens there to participate.
There was a lot of great discussion and valuable input as citizens brainstormed ways we could come together and bring Climate Change to heel.
Facilitator Stacey Danckert
It was a heady time. Critical thinking and creativity came together as citizens from across the political spectrum contributed different pieces of the solution to Climate Change, the existential global crisis of our time.
But Waterloo Region was up for it. We were ready.
Each round table discussion yielded up a blueprint of action. And at the end of the day, each table's facilitators presented a verbal report of the high points to the entire assembly.
Although all 5 Waterloo Region MPs were there, its pretty clear none of them actually listened.
Former Progressive Conservative Party Leader Patrick Brown had had a fully costed moderate election platform complete with carbon tax. But it seems the PC Party backroom boys weren't ready for a carbon tax, so Mr Brown and his platform were replaced with Mr Ford and a series of off-the-cuff promises masquerading as a platform.
One of the huge costs associated with winner-take-all politics is the policy lurch that happens when a centrist party is replaced by a right wing party. Which is exactly what we're seeing here in Ontario.
But even before winning the leadership or the election, one thing Doug Ford was *always* clear about was his intention to get rid of the Liberal's Cap & Trade carbon mitigation system.
With Climate Change breathing down our necks, carbon pricing is intended to disincentivise Green House Gas emissions. It does this by forcing polluters to take financial responsibility for the pollution they generate.
Cap and Trade revenue flowing into Government coffers is supposed to help government finance our necessary transition to a sustainable economy.
While it is clear that carbon pricing is imperative, personally, I am not at all unhappy to see the dismantling of the McGuinty-Wynne Cap and Trade system, although a more orderly change would have been nice.
One big problem with Ontario's Cap and Trade was that its carbon targets simply weren't anywhere close to being high enough.
Another was that as many as 100 of the worst corporate polluters were exempted.
From my perspective, the worst thing about Cap and Trade is that it creates a government revenue stream. Governments get very attached to revenue streams. And the Ontario Liberals had made good use of the Cap and Trade funds that flowed into government coffers.
What do schools have to do with Carbon Pricing?
Ontario schools have been struggling since the 1990's when the Mike Harris Sr government diverted education tax funds from community school boards into the general government coffers. Now, instead of dispensing all the funds collected for Ontario elementary and high school education through property tax directly to the schools, in the name of "efficiency" education funding was suddenly dependent on a "funding formula" that was more about redistributing education tax than educating our kids.
Government works in mysterious ways… instead of fixing this elementary school, they built a new one.
Suddenly there wasn't enough money in the Education budget for elementary school music class and librarians. In the rich province of Ontario, school budgets were reduced the bare minimum to function. Chronic underfunding begun by the Mike Harris Sr PC government and carried on by the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals over decades naturally meant there was never enough funding to properly maintain the infrastructure.
But when school buildings began to crumble across the province, the Liberals had to do something: and so some of the Cap and Trade revenue was earmarked to fix our schools. (Although spun in the media as needed repairs, in truth these funds were supposed to be used to retrofit schools to make them more energy efficient.) Sadly even that is gone now, and the folks at http://fixourschools.ca/ will tell you that Ontario schools still need a whole lot of fixing.
Federal Backstop Carbon Pricing
Canadians for Carbon Dividends Ontario Chart
But Ontario's carbon pricing void will presently be filled with a different kind of carbon pricing, as the Federal Government implements a Carbon Fee and Dividend regime.
This is the carbon pricing policy advocated by both federal and Provincial Green Parties in Canada because it is a much more equitable system.
The fees collected from industry polluters don't go to line government coffers, but are instead payed out directly to citizens to help us weather the transition.
The dividends counter the price increases industry will pass on to consumers. The way it works out is that consumers with the smallest carbon footprint actually come out ahead.
Even so, it still is not enough.
The IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has made it clear that we aren't doing nearly enough to address Climate Change. They've given us a timeline of 12 years, and time is running out.
While we need to get the new federal Carbon Pricing system up and running, it is only the start.
So it is a very good thing Ontario's Doug Ford PC Government has stepped up and is conducting its own
Consultation: A made-in-Ontario climate change plan
We never know if our winner-take-all governments will listen, but when they ask us for input on important issues, it is well worth responding. Even if they ignore what we have to say, at least we will be on the record. And the record will be there for the next government.
It is very important for us to respond, to make sure our new PC Government understands Ontario expects serious climate change policy.
This consultation tells us they want our opinions, but they don't want our names. The only way to participate is to do so anonymously on a web form.
Your submission does not need to be a scholarly work; you can write as much or as little as you're comfortable with. When filling in any kind of web form, it's easiest to prepare your answer offline. That way you won't accidentally send it before you're finished, and you can keep a copy of the submission you wrote. It is always an excellent idea to make as much noise as we can publicly online. If you have a blog, share it there and/or sharing on twitter or Facebook or whatever other social media you use. Sharing online can inspire others to participate, and the greater the response the consultation gets, the better. If you don't have a place to share online, feel free to share your submission with us, and we'll publish it here on the blog.
You might find inspiration in the Rise For Climate Waterloo Region submission or suggestions made at the Federal Climate Change Consultation.
About this consultation
Our quality of life depends on clean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and well-protected lands and parks.
Later this fall, Ontario will release a plan that will identify specific areas of focus to help us tackle and be more resilient to climate change.
This will be the first part of a broader approach that will protect clean air and water, encourage conservation and do more to address urban litter and waste.
This made-in-Ontario solution will strike the right balance between protecting our environment and responsibly supporting a prosperous economy.
The plan will include several areas of focus, such as:
Creating an understanding of the effects that climate change is having on our households, businesses, communities and public infrastructure to better prepare and strengthen our resiliency.
Ensuring polluters are held accountable and creating dedicated measures that will efficiently reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Improving Ontario's business climate by unlocking the power of the private sector to finance and drive innovative climate solutions. This will include an emissions-reduction fund to invest in technology-based and other solutions to reduce emissions in Ontario.
Finding a balanced solution that puts people first, makes life more affordable for families, and takes Ontario's role in fighting climate change seriously.
These areas will help ensure our investments in climate action effectively balance greenhouse gas reductions while supporting economic prosperity and Ontario families.

NMSU Student Awarded Research Grant to Study Sequential Isotopic Actinides in Water
by Marcus Gay, NM WRRI Student Program Coordinator
Clean water supplies are critical to supporting communities in arid and semiarid regions of New Mexico. Wildlife, agriculture, and recreational activities like fishing, boating, and swimming all depend on our limited surface water supplies; however, an emerging public health concern could potentially threaten the quality of some surface waters and drinking waters in New Mexico. The public health concern is the release of radiotoxic nuclides from waste repositories*. In southeastern New Mexico, the waste isolation pilot plant (WIPP) has radiotoxic nuclides that, if released, could have the potential to contaminate water. The WIPP is a deep geological repository for the permanent disposal of transuranic (TRU) wastes, byproducts of the nation's nuclear defense program. The release of radionuclides, especially actinides, into nearby water sources can cause contamination, which could harm the environment and human health. Therefore, there is a need to determine the radioactivity of water near the WIPP.
NM WRRI has awarded Rong He, a PhD student at New Mexico State University (NMSU), a Student Water Research Grant to work on a project entitled Sequential Isotopic Determination of Actinides (Plutonium, Americium, and Uranium) in Water. This project will develop a rapid and accurate method for determining the sequential separation of plutonium (Pu), americium (Am), and uranium (U) in water samples and explore the influence of interfering metal ions on the separation and determination of Pu, Am, and U.

Laura Crossey, Distinguished Professor, The University
of New Mexico
by Jeanette Torres, NM WRRI Program Coordinator
Laura Crossey, a Distinguished Professor at the University of New Mexico (UNM) for the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, has been teaching for 35 years, and researches low-temperature geochemistry with application to hydrochemistry, geomicrobiology, and sedimentary diagenesis. Crossey feels her role as a geoscientist has several intertwining aspects that must be appropriately balanced. These aspects include performing research to publish peer-reviewed papers on topics concerning her specialty areas and teaching/mentoring students. She has successfully mentored over 37 students to degree completion and is currently advising two PhD, two MS, and two BS student researchers. Crossey thoroughly enjoys working with college students of any grade level and finds fulfillment in her teaching opportunities.
One of her graduate students, Naomi Delay, was recently awarded a New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute (NM WRRI) Student Water Research Grant for her project, titled Hydrogeochemical Analysis of Springs in the Cibola National Forest: Implications for Springs/Wetlands Sustainability & Geochemical Response to Forest Fire. The project will focus on the impacts of wildfire on local hydrology and understand the sustainability and hydrogeological framework of arid-land springs. Crossey remarks that "the WRRI student grant opportunity is truly one of the most powerful programs for graduate students working on water-related topics in the state," and that "several [of her] former graduate students who received support through the WRRI grant process gained valuable experience and have since gone on to be faculty members themselves in other locations (e.g., Dennis Newell, now at Utah State University; Matthew Kirk, currently at Kansas State University; and Jon Golla, who is completing his PhD at the University of Illinois)."
NM WRRI Technical Completion Report No. 397 is now available online.

Immaculate recovers to stop Newtown
Playing Newtown in the Hawks' Nest on Senior Night isn't easy. And Immaculate had already suffered a close loss to the hosts earlier this season. Combine those circumstances with a poor start and it makes you wonder how the undersized Mustangs managed to rally for a 67-63 victory and clinch a berth in the South-West Conference tournament. "We started off a little bit tight," said Immaculate coach Bob Nelson, whose team missed 12 of its first 13 shots and trailed 12-5 after the first quarter. "My kids knew it was a big game." To qualify for the playoffs, Immaculate (11-7, 6-6 SWC) needed to win one of its last two games. It also could've backed in if Bethel lost to Notre Dame Wednesday, which the Wildcats did, 72-47. Newtown (8-12, 7-6 SWC) was in a similar situation. A victory would've given it the No. 6 seed, according to coach John Quinn. The Nighthawks will probably still be sixth or seventh, Quinn said, depending on the outcome of today's Immaculate-Masuk game. "I think we're still in relatively good stead," he said. "It was somewhat a game for position, but it was a game to get some momentum and traction for Saturday," Quinn said, referring to the SWC tournament quarterfinals. Immaculate trailed 28-17 late in the second quarter and faced a 28-23 halftime deficit. It came back behind the shooting of guard Jon Nelson, who scored 14 of his 19 points after halftime. Nelson missed a potential game-winning shot in the closing seconds of regulation. But he began the overtime by nailing his fourth 3-pointer of the game and the Mustangs never trailed thereafter. Down 64-61 with less than 30 seconds remaining in overtime, Newtown got the short end of a controversial call. The Nighthawks thought they had possession after getting a timeout from one official following Brennan Coakley's offensive rebound. But the other official said he called a foul on Coakley before the timeout was granted. Quinn was incredulous, storming out on the court and stomping his foot several times as he confronted the officials. "The play was right in front of me," Quinn explained calmly from the locker room afterward. "I heard the timeout call (by one of his players) and so did the other official. And then out of nowhere on the other side of the court a foul call was made. "There was no way on God's earth he could've heard when the kid called a timeout. It was a change of possession and that was huge." Immaculate's Brandon McEwan (15 points, 8 rebounds) sealed it with two free throws. "It was too good a game for it to end that way," Quinn said. "It's very frustrating when the kids don't have a chance to win the game. And that's not sour grapes. My kids played real hard." So did the Mustangs - in the second half. Earlier, they were a bit lackluster at the defensive end. For example, they allowed Newtown to get the ball downcourt for an uncontested layup with one-tenth of a second left in the first quarter immediately after a made foul shot at the other end. "We talked about that at halftime, (having) some pride and all those good things" Nelson said. "Obviously, our kids responded. They have that mental toughness to get through basically a bad night shooting." Immaculate shot 38 percent from the field. "If we shoot like that, we're not going to win a lot of games, but we're lucky Newtown missed a lot of layups, too," Nelson said. "We continued to miss easy shots out of our offense and that bug hit us a little today," agreed Quinn, whose Nighthawks shot 42 percent. Senior guard Marcus Tracy, the state's soccer player of the year, kept Newtown close by scoring a season-high 22 points on a series of lightning quick drives and added four crowd-pleasing blocks. Midway through the fourth period, Tracy scored on a backdoor layup, converted an offensive rebound and threw a bullet pass to Kyle Lyddy for an easy basket that put Newtown ahead 54-53 with 2:50 left. Immaculate's Bobby Plumb (14 points) scored inside to tie the game at 58 with 1:14 to play. With a chance to pull ahead, the Nighthawks turned it over. Immaculate held the ball for the final shot, which Jon Nelson missed to force overtime. Point guard Kendall White contributed 14 points and nine assists for the Mustangs.

Galder's Gazetteer
Zipperon Games
Average Rating (21 ratings)
This major 5e supplement for advanced players & GMs expands the game by adding new actions, condtions, and martial options. Integrated with the expanded rules there are a host of new player options, a GM toolkit, and two one-shot adventures in this 192pg full-color book.
The wizard Galder has traveled to many, many worlds. Along his journeys he has taken notes on the mysterious and fantastic things he's encountered.
A while back, a young guy named Laurence made a post on online. Laurence shared that he had a rare form of cancer and only had weeks to live. He wanted something to be remembered by, and asked if there was any way his character could be added to the game's lore.
With kindness, a whole group of the community got together and, while they couldn't make it "official", they said they would be honored to include his character as a NPC in their home games, to exist in their worlds. To keep living in their stories.
But this book goes a step further. Galder's Gazetteer describes his journeys through all those worlds. This expansion to 5e is framed as Galder's notes on how things are done differently across the multiverse including:
Expanded actions, conditions, and martial options
3 new Classes, 8 variant classes, and 35 archetypes
20 ancestries, 11 feats, and 40 new spells
Monster templates, environments, traps, curses and other challenges
Two one-shot adventures for 5th and a 15th level
100% of proceeds from the sales of this book are being donated to the Cancer Research Institute. You can read more about Laurence's story and what you can do to support youth early diagnosis at laurencescampaign.blog

I think I saw this being referenced on a reddit thread quite some time back.
Does this include variants on Galder's Tower, or anything of a similar nature?
Lewis J December 31, 2021 10:12 pm UTC
Hi I was just wondering if a physical copy is still going to be available and if so when any information would be greatly appreciated thank you
Tim L November 16, 2021 6:41 am UTC
This whole November update has been an absolute distaster of omnishambles! DT support came back to me saying that they fixed the files, but when I go in my library I now only see a file titled [GG_Digital_20210420.XXX] (same as the original one) and the two files that were uploaded the last few days ([GG_digital_20211110.pdf] and [GG_digital_20211112.pdf]) are now no longer to be seen. Worse, downloading the former just results in a file titled [Galder's_Gazetteer.pdf] without any indication if this the supposed updated version or not.
@zipperon D: Is there a list of changes between the prior version and the supposed current update available somewhere (and no, I'm not installing or making an account on Discord or whatever for that) so that one can check if the supposed DT-fixed file is indeed the updated version or not (despite the listed name)...?
Christopher B November 14, 2021 1:14 pm UTC
Hello, there still seems to be an issue with the new file. I keep getting an error message when I try to download it.
Kristen S November 12, 2021 7:57 am UTC
Greetings! Is the November update available in the Print on Demand format already, or is the update digital only for now?
zipperon D November 12, 2021 1:38 pm UTC
The print version is on its way! The files are finished, it just takes time for Lighting Press to approve the printed versions. Should be ready for the holidays!
Tim L November 11, 2021 12:36 pm UTC
I currently see two files listed in my library: 'GG_Digital_20210420.pdf' and 'full-digital.pdf'. Which is supposed to be the November 10 updated file; the latter one (which incidentally also results in an error message when I try to download it)? It would really be helpful if publishers/creators learned to put version numbers in their file names and/or on the title pages of their PDFs...
Shane T November 11, 2021 6:13 pm UTC
I'm assuming the latter, since the former is marked with an April date. I also get an error when trying to download the new version.
Tim L November 11, 2021 6:39 pm UTC
Well, at least there's some comfort in knowing I ain't the only one having a download problem. :) And also I know ZD isn't the the only publisher/creator on here (unfortunately enough) for whom proper version numbering is apparently a totally foreign and alien concept, but it makes it all the more annoying to discuss the issue with the DT staff when one does not know which is the actual updated file...
Sorry for the confusion - it should have displayed the new file with the date in the name. I just re-uploaded it. Hopefully this will help!
First and foremost, thanks to upload a properly versioned filename document. Much appreciated! :) Unfortunately, and I hate to be a bad news bearer, I now see two new files listed named respectively [GG_digital_20211110.pdf] and [GG_digital_20211112.pdf], but both result in the same error as before when trying to download... Seems something is going wrong when the DT servers are trying to prepare/watermark the file.

When is this next iteration coming?
Christopher P June 30, 2021 7:20 pm UTC
I am a stage IV cancer patient myself and I'm still battling. Thank you for doing this! The intro from his "mum" is so touching (someone was cutting onions while I read it). I just got my hardcopy and even got the PDF too. I really enjoy third-party content and this is one of the best products ever. As good as anything Wizards has put together. We can never have too many options, well a situation like 2nd edition is untenable, and this should be in the library of every gamer. Even if it was average, I would still be saying this. It's way better than average. Of course I'm biased; however, check out all the positive YouTube reviews.
This community is amazing for doing this! Please guys/gals grab this book so we can eradicate this horrible disease. Gaming is one of the few hobbies that I can still do while having cancer and getting treatment. I'm Dming a game on Roll20 tonight and playing in one tomorrow. XXX cancer! Take care everyone!
Kristen S June 19, 2021 9:02 pm UTC
Is the second printing still going to be available as hardcover? I want to wait for the fixes, but don't want to miss the hardcover chance lol
zipperon D June 22, 2021 10:30 am UTC
Yes! But I don't have a time line for when that will be besides AFTER DriveThru switches presses on July 1
Hey there! I got a quick question about Variant Sorcerer (pg 82). It says that you lose the Sorcerer's Spellcasting and Sorcerous Restoration feature. Instead of this, Sorcerer gets Innate Casting, Wellspring, etc. However, it doesn't say you lose Font of Magic, the 2nd level Sorcerer feature that gives sorcery points. Do you still get extra sorcery points for each sorcerer level in addition to those provided by Innate Magic? Or is the Font of Magic feature also lost when taking Variant Sorcerer?
zipperon D June 03, 2021 1:52 pm UTC
Hi Christopher, thanks for getting the book! Hope you're enjoying it!
Font of Magic should be listed in the features you no longer get. The intention is you only get the SP listed in the table. (Yes, we remembered Font of Magic when making the table!) It's already been marked for errata in our doc, and there's quite a bit of discussion about it in our Discord if you want to check it out: https://discord.gg/RpeTfqhc
Davide P May 25, 2021 9:21 am UTC
Im gonna be honest, there are some classes/subclasses that i dont really like BUT, the variant classes are good. In particular sorcerer one is amazing.
Also, as a DM, i find the rule/condition/Gm toolkit part very very very well made. I'd go as far as to say that WotC should keep an eye on this for an eventual DMG2/5.5e/6e/
I'm super happy you're pleased with the expanded rules! I hope you can use them to build some cool subclasses and monsters of your own!
Mary J May 23, 2021 8:16 pm UTC
Hey! I've compiled some small errors I found in this absolutely wonderful expansion:
The Runewielder's "Runic Tools" does not have tools capitalised.
Additionally, the Therianthrope (Brute's) trait: Brute Form does not include a full stop/is otherwise finished.
The "subclass", Therian Form, doesn't mention being able to select Avian Form as a subclass, only Cunning, Beast, and Aquatic.
Aberration is mis-spelled as Abberation in the Planar Form Bestial Trait.
Path of the pit fighter's, what I assume is a quote? Is missing a full stop, or speech marks, or anything to make it seem less out-of-place.
Monks don't lose Diamond Soul, but it is still offered as a Technique.
That's all I've found so far, I hope you don't mind me reporting it :)
zipperon D May 23, 2021 11:29 pm UTC
Thanks for going through the book - I'm glad you think it's wonderful!
Those'll be added to our typos & bugs sheet to be corrected in the next iteration
If anything else jumps out at you, we have a sheet pinned in the 'sage advice' channel in our discord. Check it out if you want to report more: https://discord.gg/Tr4GBeFb

François Auguste Victor Grignard6.5.1935
Wikipedia (03 Apr 2013, 14:00)
François Auguste Victor Grignard (May 6, 1871 in Cherbourg - December 13, 1935 in Lyon) was a Nobel Prize-winning French chemist.
Grignard was the son of a sail maker. After studying mathematics at Lyon he transferred to chemistry and discovered the synthetic reaction bearing his name (the Grignard reaction) in 1900. He became a professor at the University of Nancy in 1910 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912. During World War I he studied chemical warfare agents, particularly the manufacture of phosgene and the detection of mustard gas. His counterpart on the German side was another Nobel Prize winning Chemist, Fritz Haber.
The Grignard reaction
Grignard is most noted for devising a new method for generating carbon-carbon bonds using magnesium to couple ketones and alkyl halides. This reaction is valuable in organic synthesis. It occurs in two steps:
- Formation of the "Grignard reagent", which is an organomagnesium compound made by the reaction an organohalide, R-X (R = alkyl or aryl; and X is a halide, usually bromide or iodide) with magnesium metal. The Grignard reagent is usually described with the general chemical formula R-Mg-X, although its structure is more complex.
- Addition of the carbonyl, in which a ketone or an aldehyde is added to the solution containing the Grignard reagent. The carbon atom that is bonded to Mg transfers to the carbonyl carbon atom, and the oxygen of the carbonyl carbon becomes attached to the magnesium to give an alkoxide. The process is an example of a nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl. After the addition, the reaction mixture is treated with aqueous acid to give an alcohol, and the magnesium salts are subsequently discarded.
The Grignard reaction is an important means of preparing organic compounds from smaller precursor molecules. For this work, Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 jointly with fellow Frenchman Paul Sabatier.

2…………> Bangladeshi Human Smuggler Busted: ICE
A Bangladeshi national formerly residing in Monterrey, Mexico, was sentenced to 46 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for his role in a scheme to smuggle aliens from Mexico into the United States, after Moktar Hossain admitted that from March 2017 to August 2018, he conspired to bring, and did bring, Bangladeshi nationals to the United States at the Texas border in exchange for payment. Hossain operated out of Monterrey, Mexico, where he maintained a hotel that housed aliens on their way to the United States. Hossain paid drivers to transport the aliens to the U.S. border, and gave the aliens instructions on how to cross the Rio Grande river.
"The defendant was a key player in an organized smuggling network that operated for profit and preyed on Bangladeshi nationals who wanted to enter the United States illegally," said Acting Assistant Attorney General David P. Burns of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.
"This sentence serves as a clear deterrent to participants of such transnational criminal organizations who seek to undermine the security of our borders by illegally facilitating the travel of foreigners into the United States for a financial gain."
"Border security and national security are one in the same," said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick for the Southern District of Texas.
"We must know who is coming into the country, and we cannot allow unfiltered access. My office continues to work with all our partners executing this mission."

3…………> Orderly Transition Of Power: President Trump
President Donald Trump has committed to an "orderly" transition of power a day after his supporters stormed Congress, provoking world condemnation, but after allowed back on Twitter after a suspension, the Republican president decried the rioters' "heinous attack", as top Democrats called for him to be removed from office, just 13 days before he is due to step down.
His statement came amid reports that an officer injured in the protests had died, and four people have already been confirmed dead in Wednesday's mayhem, including a woman shot by a police officer.
Returning to Twitter after a 12-hour freeze of his account as the social media company said his tweets could risk more violence, Mr. Trump said: "Now Congress has certified the results a new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th.
"My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation."
4…………> New EU COVID-19 Mutation Must Be Halted: WHO
Mass infections are putting pressure on hospitals across Europe during winter, as the World Health Organization (WHO) has called on European countries to do more to curb a new variant of coronavirus that was first detected in the UK, and director Hans Kluge said tougher measures were needed to "flatten the steep vertical line" of rising cases in some countries saying 22 European countries now have cases of the variant, calling this "an alarming situation".
First detected in November, the variant has driven a spike in cases in the UK, its spread has concerned many European countries that have already imposed full national lockdowns to tackle a marked rise in infections during winter, and health experts say the variant is considerably more transmissible than previous strains but not necessarily any more dangerous for those infected.
They have also played down the possibility that vaccines will not be as effective against the variant.

While children are finicky regarding their toy and game preferences, their fascination with everything digital remains constant. Ever since iPads were introduced, parents have had to share their tablets with their offspring or buy them separate devices.
The latest digital toys were on display at Timetoplaymag.com's spring media showcase event in New York on Tuesday. They feature QR codes, 3-D, augmented reality and gaming, which are similar to those found in grownups' devices. Digital toys like these could also serve as background props for agency creative brainstorming sessions.
Scanimalz: This newly launched line of plush interactive animal characters from Scandinavia is for boys and girls aged 5 to 10. They're collectible, and include a series of colorful characters. Customers buy the Scanimalz mobile app and each character separately. Then they scan a QR code to unlock, play with the character and earn Scantz points.
Drip Drops: The brand's Color the World app transforms pre-schoolers' mobile devices into coloring books. It incorporates 3D animation and augmented reality and also features different characters. The app enables users to turn the items being colored inside out and flip them around. They can also take photos and share them with friends on social media.
ArtSee Studio: This recently introduced "art creation studio" is for kids 3 years and older, and comes with an app, an iPad case that serves as an easel and a toolkit with a stylus, rainbow crayon for drawing and several colorful stamps. Proud parents can either save their kids' masterpieces, print or share them on social platforms.

As a result we are better able to assess projects and choose the optimal ones. Their response times also make it easy to rely on them for new developments.


Literally a week of free time was wasted on that Skybank poster. But I love it so much. I think I'll put it on a t-shirt.
Nice bit of action here. I like the fact that we have not yet gotten a good solid look at Smiley here. It builds antici... pation.
And taking apart four blokes with automatics? Badassery established!
I like the idea of this page. Who would not like the idea of a hero entering through a window and stabbing four bad guys full of holes? However, the page could still be even better. At this point the page still seems too compressed. Too many events are squeezed into too short a space.
This leaves several mysteries for next week. For example, the criminal in the seventh panel says that he himself has been shot. Who shot him? Did the hero? If so, how? The hero seems to be using a long bladed instrument, not a gun. One of the criminals gets cut in the eighth and final panel, we are not sure how, because we don't see the cutting.
In this case, I would give the artist the same advice that I give my artists when they turn in sketches for pages which come out like this. That is, give the story as much space as the story needs. In this case I suggest that you go ahead and split one page into two pages, and spread these seven panels across two new pages. The top three panels can and should fill a new page, and the new panels can be drawn with figures big enough to tell the story clearly. Then, the bottom four panels can be put onto a completely new page. These four panels can be expanded so that each of these panels can be big enough so that the reader can see the complete action. The reader will see how the hero is stabbing the criminal in the panel which is presently the fourth. Then the reader will see enough to understand what is happening in the panel which is presently the fifth, and so forth with the remaining panels. If you try it that way you will see the arrangement is much easier on the reader.
