Lack of money is the cause of all evil!
I understand, although I utterly abhor, the silly and clueless troll's plight to use all sorts of dirty tricks, in order to support his baseless and unevidenced nonsense.
However, I am not going to tolerate personal and utterly false attacks on matters concerning my professional career in various positions including
my producer's job with SBS spanning the best part of two decades and of which I am justifiably proud of.
I have kept my promise never to respond directly to his nonsensical dribbling, based upon the very sound advice, "don't feed the troll(s)" which I am not intending to change.
I am talking specifically about his post #212 on the homeless thread. Your understanding and measure taking in order to correct this situation is kindly requested! Thanks in advance

Moderation Notice
I am considering whether to take further action about it but for the time being antichrist is completely banned from making any further reference to ER's professional activities anywhere on the board, and any case of him doing so will result in an immediate full-site ban.
Also I have removed some unnecessary coarse language from a post. I shouldn't have to remind people that it is our responsibility to keep the board free of such stuff so that it does not deter parents from letting their children read the forum. In future I will be deleting posts containing such language - when used without good reason - entirely.
Any discussion of these decisions may occur in the Help and Feedback section only.
I think that referring to people as garbage as unacceptable and that parents would object to such. Truly the only other place I have noticed such term is historical films of a certain person in Germany eighty five years ago.
Zionism is racism as defined by the UN, Israel by every dirty means available steals land and water, kill Palestinian freedom fighters and civilians, and operates an apartheid system to drive more Palestinians off their land
I just removed two of the "garbage" posts because of a potential defamation issue. I'm considering the others and whether they breach any existing forum rules. Note we have a specific agreement with the site owner re keeping a lid on swearing for the reason stated.
Moderation Requests: All requests for, comments about, or questions about moderation of any kind including thread changes must be posted in the Help and Feedback section and not on the thread in question. (Or by private message for routine changes or sensitive matters.)

- Chelsea have had a £132m bid for Marco Asensio turned down by Real Madrid
- Real president Florentino Perez has no intention to sell Asensio in the summer
- READ MORE: Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur predicted XI: Goalkeeper dilemma for Antonio Conte
Chelsea's first attempts in luring one of Real Madrid's most prized talents have come to no avail.
With the likes of Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois being rumoured targets for the La Liga side, a network of deals between the two clubs could happen this summer.
It's the Blues that want to draw first blood on the 11-time Champions League winners with a lucrative £132m bid rejected for Marco Asensio, reports Don Balon via Daily Star.
The 22-year-old has grown a frustrated figure at the Santiago Bernabeu as he feels Real manager Zinedine Zidane hasn't utilised him enough this season.
Despite Asensio not receiving full admiration from his coach, the most important man in the Spanish giants' hierarchy in president Florentino Perez, has no interest in letting the attacking midfielder go.
This report from Don Balon suggests that Chelsea will have to blow our record transfer fee if Asensio is to be lured to Stamford Bridge.
Perhaps the only way of signing Asensio will be cashing in on Hazard's value, which could pose a huge risk with the Belgian amongst the world's best.

WASHINGTON — The Auto Care Association is urging the Trump administration to "consider fully … the long-term implications" of certain provisions in the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) that could increase costs for the U.S. automotive aftermarket industry.
ACA President Bill Hanvey enumerated the association's concerns in testimony he gave Nov. 15 at a hearing before the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) on the likely economic impact of the USMCA.
Mr. Hanvey explained that although the USMCA will result in "increased investment and/or reshoring of production into North American supply chains," the ACA is concerned with a few provisions in the agreement, including increased rules of origin, new certification requirements, sunset provision and quotas capping imports exempt from the pending Section 232 autos and auto parts investigation.
"We urge the Commission to consider fully in its report the long-term implications of the USMCA on the automotive industry, and urge the ITC to closely consult with the industry during the agreement's implementation and evolution, Mr. Hanvey said.
"Our industry's ability to remain globally competitive supports U.S. auto exports, provides U.S. consumers with a wider selection of vehicles and parts, and keeps vehicle repair and maintenance costs affordable for working families."
In his testimony, Mr. Hanvey said the ACA is concerned the USMCA's increased rules of origin will require some auto parts maker to invest in production facilities and/or supply-chain management to keep pace.
In addition, new certification requirements, will create administrative record-keeping procedures that will be "especially burdensome" for small- and medium-sized producers.
Mr. Hanvey also addressed the ACA's concerns about sunset provisions and the effect of pending Section 232 import tariffs on the industry under USMCA rules.

Box office report: "Chappie"
By Jack Heyden
March 19, 2015
There are only so many hypothetical portrayals of the future that you can lay in front of an audience until a film loses credibility, and that is exactly where "Chappie" went astray. Telling lies has always been a major gray area in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. In fantasy, you can get away wit...
Box Office Report: "The Theory of Everything"
By Jack Heyden
February 5, 2015
Bearing a haunting resemblance to 2001's "A Beautiful Mind," "The Theory of Everything" wonderfully unveils a biography boiling with heartbreak and reality without glazing over a period in history. The film takes a look at the relationship between esteemed physicist Stephen Hawking and his w...
Box Office Report: "Inherent Vice"
By Jack Heyden
January 29, 2015
I don't know what the hell I just saw, but I liked it. You know those films that you see and can barely follow because there's so much going on, but then after straining your mind for an hour, it suddenly hits you? That was me about halfway through this film. Ever since I saw "The Master,�...
Box Office Report: "Big Eyes"
By Jack Heyden
January 25, 2015
In his most recent film, "Big Eyes," Tim Burton's far too unrealistic depiction of this true story took too many of his own artistic liberties. The story shouldn't have been about Walter Keane's insanity, but more about the suffrage of Margaret Keane, his wife, played by Amy Adams. Walter, played...
Box Office Report: "The Gambler"
By Jack Heyden
December 30, 2014
When "The Gambler" was at its best, it was a decent film, but when it struggled it wasn't much more than a sports film with an affinity for Blackjack. Structurally, the movie was sound, and I had the pleasure of explaining how everything pieced together very well to a fellow moviegoer who didn'...
Box Office Report: "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1"
By Jack Heyden
November 27, 2014
Ever since the separation of the final Harry Potter book into two films, I have had a problem with prolonging a story for the sake of doubling your money. It's a great strategy for a production company to do so, but in this method you sacrifice the attention and overall interest of your audience. It ...
Box Office Report: "Birdman"
By Jack Heyden
November 20, 2014
I knew that Michael Keaton would be playing a mirage of himself (given that both he and his character were both formerly cast as megastar superheroes), and I knew that I was going to like what I saw on the screen. It was by far the most original film I have seen in a very long time — not solely for...
Box Office Report: "Interstellar"
By Jack Heyden
November 13, 2014
This was genuinely the greatest experience I've ever had inside of a movie theater. Even though it was in IMAX, it still was the most emotionally and visually compelling film I have ever seen in a theater. The only other film I could think of that would rival the experience I had in "Interstellar�...
Box Office Report: "Nightcrawler"
November 6, 2014
"Nightcrawler" is a film that was well aware of its intentions from the outset. The first thing we see in the film is the lead character beat someone up for a watch when that someone catches him stealing scrap metal. By showing us this as the opening scene, we know that Lou Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal...
Box Office Report: "John Wick"
October 30, 2014
My thought process walking out (or escaping) the theater was to label "John Wick" as either bad or really bad depending on how pissed off traffic made me on the ride home. And I will say that I hit more red lights than I intended to. The film concerns a retired hit man played by Keanu Reeves, who bre...
Box Office Report: 'Fury'
October 23, 2014
Quite possibly vying to be the biggest surprise of Oscar season, "Fury" is a driven movie capable of evoking strong emotions in any viewer. At first glance it might seem to be another rudimentary war film, cookie cut with a star-studded cast and dazzling special effects; however, it was far more dev...

text: Question #1: They say it takes anywhere from 2-3 weeks to get into your system. However in your case assuming it's short term (for a week or two), this really isn't even a consideration. However, much like others -- prolonged usage (2 months & above) of Zoloft may culminate to one or more slightly discomforting side effects; diarrhea, short term memory loss, fatigue, lethargy, etc. I know it's easy to do, b/c I'm tempted.... In fact, it is considered one of the safer prescriptions within the range of relaxants available on the market today. =) Question #2: The only reason you should take benedryl is if you have allergies. 3 - Zoloft RARELY causes any discernible side affects when prescribed in restrictive dosages. If I were you, I would take Benadryl at night only if necessary, in the presence of actual symptoms. Try to avoid taking Benadryl & Zoloft together at any point in time as both have a tendency to induce drowsiness in patients commonly -- hence two isn't better than one in this scenario. 2 - Taking Benadryl to stimulate restful sleep isn't a health hazard, but at the same time its NOT a very good habit either. I'm 25 years old, and was informed by my doctor that it will take 1-2 days before I feel a noticeable change in my levels of anxiety. buy citalopram online canada Sertraline is used for a number of conditions, including major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder (SAD). The comparative efficacy of sertraline and TCAs for melancholic depression has not been studied. A 1998 review suggested that, due to its pharmacology, sertraline may be more efficacious than other SSRIs and equal to TCAs for the treatment of melancholic depression. A meta-analysis of 12 new-generation antidepressants showed that sertraline and escitalopram are the best in terms of efficacy and acceptability in the acute-phase treatment of adults with unipolar MDD. Sertraline used for the treatment of depression in elderly (older than 60) patients was superior to placebo and comparable to another SSRI fluoxetine, and TCAs amitriptyline, nortriptyline (Pamelor) and imipramine. Sertraline had much lower rates of adverse effects than these TCAs, with the exception of nausea, which occurred more frequently with sertraline. In addition, sertraline appeared to be more effective than fluoxetine or nortriptyline in the older-than-70 subgroup. placebo in elderly patients showed a statistically significant (that is, unlikely to occur by chance), but clinically very modest improvement in depression and no improvement in quality of life. A meta-analysis on SSRIs and SNRIs that look at partial response (defined as at least a 50% reduction in depression score from baseline) found that sertraline, paroxetine and duloxetine were better than placebo.

Zoloft is a prescription medication used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, and other serious mental health problems. Manufactured by Pfizer, Zoloft has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of social anxiety disorder (SAD) since 2003 and is the only medication approved for long-term treatment. You must combine the liquid form of Zoloft with one of the following before use: water, ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, lemonade or orange juice. Combine the prescribed amount of medication with one half cup of the chosen liquid, and be sure to prepare each dose immediately before you take it, not in advance. In general, Zoloft is taken once daily, with or without food. If you forget to take a daily dose, take it when you remember. I have pretty bad anxiety and about a week ago was prescribed 25mg of Zoloft, what are the usual side effects? I've heard an equal amount of horror stories as I have positive stories. I took Celexa for 3 days but it caused me to have a severe panic attack that lasted 3 days and I'm not willing to have that happen again. About a year before taking Celexa, I took it with Wellbutrin for about 4 months for depression and never had a side effect like that. I also know Zoloft and Celexa are both SSRI's so I'm nervous to take it. At this point my Anxiety is under control more, but I'm still having at least one mild panic attack a day.

The centre prides itself on providing a friendly environment where students are warmly welcomed and invited to enjoy the process of learning and achieving.
Being a daytime class, many of the students are retired or working part-time. Some are seeking a gentle exercise regime as they manage a variety of health issues including arthritis, heart disease, osteoporosis and hip and knee replacements.

Many of the team of instructors have health issues for which they have found Tai Chi beneficial, even life saving. This is reflected in their approach to instructing. They endeavor to modify movements to suit individual needs and to respect the need for endless repetition. Students have said that "patience" should be our middle name.
The team is led by Senior Instructor Suzette Hosken. She is strongly supported by Assistant Instructors Linda Samson, James Owen and Catriona Wells, Trainee Instructors Sue Hawthorne and Judith Michael, and helpers Gary Stirton and Kirsty Freeman.

As you might have seen already, web push notifications are incredibly easy to implement and they're quite effective at getting results. But one question that comes up quite frequently is "Why is my push notification title and (or) message not being displayed completely?" Here are some push notification best practices you need to follow.
So here's are a few recommendations for ensuring your push notifications are of the optimal length for getting your message across.
Overview of recommended character limits:
Let's look at these platforms/browsers in a bit more detail.
The title supports a maximum of ~55 characters before the text gets truncated. Furthermore, the message length varies depending on the title length and whether a hero image is added to the notification.
The title shows ~55 characters without truncation, while the message can show ~200 characters.
Note: Firefox does not support hero images
The optimal title length for Android is ~50 characters. But the message length varies depending on whether the notification contains a hero image.
All browsers on Mac have the same character limits for the title and message. The title shows ~25 characters while the message shows ~28 characters.
Important: The width of the individual characters will also affect how much of the notification is visible before it gets truncated.
Chrome offers the best experience for web push notifications, due to higher character limits and support for hero images. And more often than not, you will end up creating notifications which will look great on Chrome, but they won't be as effective on other platforms/browsers.
So, ensure that you design your notifications keeping the restrictions of Mac and Firefox in mind. This will ensure that your message gets across a clear and precise manner.

Building Bridges in a Virtual World
This article originally ran in the July / August 2014 edition of PS Magazine: The Era of New Technology on p.22.
It's 8:00 a.m. I pop open my laptop and begin my morning ritual of checking my email inbox. Here I am again, communing with the virtual world, instead of the real world. As I'm thinking that there's just no heart in all of this technology, something, well, cracks open my heart. Buried amidst thirty unopened messages is a little gem, something "sweet" that the sender thinks I "will enjoy." I click on the embedded link, and a video begins to play. The opening shot takes me to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Students learning English are sitting down to enjoy the company of elders living at a Chicago-based retirement community – via video conferencing. Within 3 1/2 minutes, I am a weepy wreck, in a good way – so much for my theory about the heartless nature of technology. These interactions are genuine, heartfelt, and deeply connected. As this little vignette unfolds, it's clear that everyone is winning here. There is giving and receiving for all involved alive in every moment. People from two very different worlds, generations apart, could not seem closer.
The concept is strikingly simple. A branch of the Brazilian based language school CNA wanted to make the process of learning a second language "more real" for their students by helping them to build meaningful, online relationships with American elders. Through Speaking Exchange, students are able to log into the program, connect visually with an elder online, and begin to chat in real time. The process is initially guided by suggestions for topics to discuss, but space is made for the conversation to evolve more freely. After the virtual visit ends, a video of the conversation is uploaded to a private YouTube channel for review by the instructors.
As I watch, clearly, language isn't the only thing being exchanged here – so is the gift of wisdom. While the elders provide insight in the form of a life lived, the youth offer the gift of promise, hope, and dreams of a better future. This precious balance of giving and receiving across generations is essential to shifting paradigms about aging. Technology – only moments earlier my nemesis – has now transformed into a powerful tool for dissolving ageism.
No matter how old we are, we all need to know we have something to offer, that we are valued and appreciated, that our voices count. The Eden Alternative philosophy teaches that the three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom exist, in part, due to ageism. When people resort to snap judgments, don't take the time to know us well as individuals, and write us off as either "too young" or "too old," we never have the opportunity to share our talents, our gifts, or our generosity. Pigeon-holed by our age, we become ripe for boredom. Technology, often dismissed as impersonal, can actually offer some very personal solutions to this dilemma. By creating opportunities for connection where none previously existed, it can build bridges of understanding between the young and old.
Nathan York discovered this at the age of 7, when he met his 108 year-old friend, Mamie. Sensitive to Mamie's blindness, Nathan sought clever ways to stay in constant contact with her. Using the adaptive technology system developed by his father through It's Never 2 Late, Nathan sent daily audio emails to Mamie between visits. With a little support, she was able to send audio emails in response. Nathan credits Mamie with painting him a picture of life in the early 1900s, teaching him to "love his little sister when she wasn't easy to love," and just making him feel like a better person. In a tender video message, Mamie captures the impact that Nathan's friendship has had on her life. "He's a wonderful little boy," she shares, "and if I've been any influence of the better for him, it's worth all of the years that the Lord has given me."
Mamie's words remind me that every effort made to weave Elders back into the social fabric of our communities – even a relationship at a time – is another step toward creating a vision of elderhood as a valued phase of human development. This is equally vital for Elders who live with different abilities.
Art to Life, an art therapy/life story preservation initiative sponsored by Cognitive Dynamics, focuses on building relationships between University of Alabama students and elders who live with Alzheimer's disease. Through creative self-expression, elder participants reveal who they are and stories of where they've been. Art to Life recently partnered with LifeBio, a virtual life story platform, to support the natural unfolding of these intergenerational relationships. Using LifeBio Studio, a video recording app, the students can now document sessions with their elder partners in a manner that allows them to be fully in the moment with them. The unstructured nature of the interactions taps modes of communication and expression that may not typically arise. The students then upload the videos directly from their smartphones into an online story template that seamlessly produces a 20-plus page personal biography of the elder. Working in teams, the students draw on their interactions with the Elders to refine and enrich the life stories. Ironically, through the speed and ease of technology, the students are able to slow down and simply "be." Blending the technological savvy of youth with the timeless presence of an older person, the project's sum is greater than its parts.
I sit here with my laptop open, humbled. Yes, technology can be cold, disengaging, soulless, and isolating. But it can also warm, enlighten, move, and unite us. Such is our paradoxical world, where anything is possible.

Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (New York: Random House, 2010).
Louie Zamperini was a lieutenant in a WWII Army Air Forces bomber, which once landed with 594 bullet holes. He was also an Olympic runner, a childhood vandal, and a man who survived 47 days in the Pacific Ocean on a raft followed by two and a half years in Japanese POW camps, where he was regularly beaten. Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit: An American Legend, is a story of the themes in its subtitle: survival, resilience, and redemption. Zamperini, who died in 2014 at the age of ninety-seven, converted to Christianity after his POW camp survival and a period of alcohol abuse. Hillenbrand writes in a straightforward style that captures the many instances of pride, pain, and hope in Louie's life. Angelina Jolie directed the film of the same name.
- Redemption. The novel moves in an arc, from the Creation of Louie as a rambunctious child, to put it mildly, to the Fall of his place crash, to his Redemption at the Billy Graham revival.
- Suffering. Louie is shot at, beaten, stranded, starved, nearly drowned, punched, and placed in solitary confinement.
- War. WWII is the setting for much of the book, which focuses specifically on the Pacific theater.
- Heroism. Many of Louie's actions could be described as heroic, but there were other instances of heroism to which Louie was a witness.
- Forgiveness. Louie has a chance to confront many of the guards from the POW camp later in life.
- Dignity/self-worth. In his letter to the Bird, Louie writes of how his rights and dignity were stripped from him.
Discussion Questions:
- How did Louie's experiences in his childhood impact him as an adult?
- Consider how Louie forgave Watanabe, the Bird. Does forgiveness require repentance? Is forgiveness "selfish" if one person forgives another without the latter acknowledging his or her wrong?
- Compare and contrast Louie Zamperini's experience with forgiveness in Chapters 38 & 39 of Unbroken with Corrie ten Boom's in Chapter 15 of her biography The Hiding Place.
- What motivated the Bird to commit his many acts of atrocity against the prisoners?
- In November 2014, Hillenbrand revised Unbroken so that it could be republished in what was called the "Young Adult Adaptation." Does this hurt the impact of the story, or is this a helpful way to increase reader accessibility? You can read more about this here.

I got to enroll on Monday (yippee!). Here's my schedule for next fall:
Steel Structures
Reinforced Concrete Structures
Integrated Building Systems
Building Communication
Soil Mechanics
15 Hours total
I signed up for a May Intercession class:
Diversity and Social Interaction in the Workplace
This counts one of my general education requirements, and it's a class I actual want to take (and is only offered during intercession). Through a lot of hard work (summer school since 2001), I will only have to take 9 hours my last semester next spring. However, if I want a physics minor, it's just one more class, so that will bump me up to 12 hours.
This summer I will be an RA at the Missouri Scholars Academy at Mizzou. MSA is for 330 of the brightest high school juniors. I attended as a scholar back in 1999, and this is my first summer I could RA because of stupid summer school all those years. But I couldn't imagine taking all of those classes here at the university because they'd be so much harder!

I hope you're all managing to stay cool and hydrated through this record heatwave. While we swelter, the people of Houston are struggling to recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey. And yet most mainstream media failed to connect the hurricane to climate change. And though Trump was all smiles to Harvey survivors in his Houston visit yesterday, he's trying to connect aid to those survivors to debt ceiling legislation, holding survivors hostage to a lengthy, bitter fight in Congress.
Meanwhile, over 124,000 Texans stand to be deported if Trump rescinds DACA, of the over 700,000 who could face deportation. But there's good news on that front: activist pressure has caused Trump to waver on his decision. It's critically important that we keep the pressure on over the weekend. Trump is likely to announce his plan on Tuesday.
Tomorrow is Labor Day, and I want to talk a little bit about what that means. Labor Day honors the American labor movement and the contribution of our workers to the well-being of our country. You might not know it, but you have the labor movement and union organizers to thank for your weekends, overtime pay, minimum wage, and safe conditions in the workplace, among many other critical protections most Americans take for granted. Over the past several decades, economic security has been eroded as middle- and lower-income worker wages have stagnated while wages among the top 5% have skyrocketed. Economic justice is one of Stand Up San Francisco's core principles, and as such, we must fight against the Trump administration's continued evisceration of key protections for workers, such as his intent to take away overtime pay and his failure to support raising the minimum wage.
On Labor Day and throughout this week, take action for American workers. You'll see several options below.
Help kick our recruitment efforts into overdrive
To increase our impact and our sustainability, Paul, Phyllis, and I are determined to grow Stand Up SF and bring new people into volunteer and leadership roles. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
- Join us at the Noe Valley Farmers Market next Saturday, September 9th, where we will be promoting our group and asking folks to sign up. Contact Paul for details.
- Share our blog with your friends! Did you know we have a blog? Back-issues of our email newsletters can now be found on the Stand Up San Francisco website. Our emails are one of the best ways to learn about what we do, and now it's easy to share them with your family, friends, and colleagues.
- Bring a friend to our next meeting! We'll be reporting on recent interactions with Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Senator Kamala Harris, and our guest speaker is Rafael Mandelman, President of San Francisco City College's Board.
Stand Up SF September Meeting
Sunday, September 17th
2pm – 4pm
This week's Stand Up SF actions
- Protect overtime pay: The Trump administration is threatening to strip overtime protections from millions of workers by revoking Obama's 2016 expansion. Submit a written comment to the Department of Labor to defend current federal overtime protections. Use CREDO's form for background and to submit your comment.
- Raise the minimum wage: Call Senators Feinstein and Harris and thank them for sponsoring S. 1242, The Raise the Wage Act, to raise our national minimum wage to the barely-livable $15/hr. You can also ask what else the senators are doing to make sure this bill passes.
Actions with other groups
- TOMORROW: Support Bay Area workers at the Oakland Labor Day March, sponsored by NorCal Fight for 15. Get details.
- Be ready to rally for DACA: Sign up for Bay Resistance text alerts by texting "RESIST" to 41411. You'll be notified of urgent actions to protect DACA or protest its repeal.
- Tell the media to connect the dots: write a letter to the editor to a national newspaper telling them to mention climate change when referring to Hurricane Harvey. 350.org has talking points and tools.

Everything may be bigger in Texas, but everyone is nicer down under!
Because my office is wherever I happen to be with my laptop, I decided to take the leap and move to Sydney, Australia from Houston, Texas on a "gap year" from adult life in early May. But given how well things are going here, I think it might turn into a gap couple of years (maybe a gap forever? We'll see).
One of the best things about being a freelancer is never feeling caught up in the rat race of corporate America – a place where all your hard work is usually for the benefit of someone farther up the food chain. As a freelancer, I'm my own boss – which is concurrently rewarding and terrifying.
Tracy, the fearless leader of team TOCmedia, ensures we deliver consistently superlative work for our clients. So much so that our reach has recently expanded beyond borders and we've taken on our first international client – Robert Street Automotive, a premier auto shop here in Sydney.
She told me about the partnership weeks before my move and my first thought was, "Wow. That's suspiciously convenient."
Since arriving, I've discovered much to my disappointment (delight? The jury's still out) that the real Australia hesitates to resemble the one set forth in Crocodile Dundee. Sydney, at least, is a glistening metropolis perched on the edge of a stunning harbor. With hundreds of unique brunch spots and coffee shops to work from, it's a freelancer's delight.
But I've been particularly lucky. The guys at Robert Street (whose generous hospitality I've come to discover is typical of Aussies) have completely taken me under their wing – offering me in-house office space, an introduction to Australian delicacies like Vegemite (so gross) and an assortment of Arnott's biscuits (so good), and even the chance to meet the star of one of my favorite shows, Bondi Rescue.
There have been a few bumps along the way, like learning the correct Aussie slang to use in posts and ensuring time-sensitive content is posted on the right day (I'm looking at you, 15-hour time difference), but overall, the transition from managing social media in Houston for Americans to being based in Sydney for a global audience has been smooth.
From the moment I touched down in Australia, I knew I wanted to stay awhile. I am so incredibly grateful to be a field where my office is the world.

In this series on stress management, I want to impart and share with you what I have learned about stress and behaviors that will increase the calm in your life, improving your daily satisfaction. Most importantly, it will improve your health.
The United Nations has actually declared stress a worldwide epidemic. Most doctors and researchers have concluded that stress is responsible over 80 to 90% of all illnesses and diseases. It's very disturbing, right?
My Story
I know this all too well. As a young mother and entrepreneur, I was diagnosed in my late 20's with an autoimmune disorder that was threatening to take my life. The doctors actually gave me three choices:
- The first choice was to take a large grocery bag full of medication every day for the rest of my life. I didn't particularly care for that option. Who would want to take a lot of medicines in order to survive?
- The second option was to have body parts removed to maybe stop the disease and prolong my life. I didn't like that option either. I don't want to spend my entire life with incomplete body parts. I don't want to live that way because I would feel like I'm half dead too.
- The third option was to continue living the life that I was living and die an early death. The options are not applicable to me. I don't want to die young and die a miserable death!
I could not believe what the doctors were saying to me. I was the healthiest person that I knew!
I exercised regularly.
I ate well.
I ate the right foods.
I was doing all the right things that I was told to do to be healthy.
To be told that my body was attacking itself, it felt like I was dying on the inside. It was shocking. I keep on asking myself those questions. That was stressful.
Habits to Cope With Stress
To improve my health I started to research ways to heal my body. Along the way, I discovered habits that we need to develop to alleviate conditions our bodies are put through on a daily basis. We have to do these to cope with the pressure and stress we encounter every day.
Our lives are stressful to our bodies. The work, the environment, and all the pressure – it all brings to stress to us! Our bodies are not really meant to be under this constant fight or flight feeling where hormones kick in, we make quick decisions and then return to a normal baseline. That is what is happening in the majority of our lives.
We get up.
We are rushed through our morning.
We get to work after sitting in traffic.
Our boss tells us out report has to be rewritten by noon.
By the time we get home, we have to rush through dinner.
If you're a working mom like me, you are likely trying to get your kids where they need to be and still provide a healthy meal.
Our body receives that busy-busy-busy and stress-stress-stress! And our body doesn't have a long enough chance to cool off.
The thing that I want to emphasize in this first part of my Stress Management Series is that too much stress is not good for us. It abuses our body and leads to health failure.

Familiar sight: Truck hits Cambridge St. overpass
WORCESTER – An unsuspecting truck driver was caught in a situation that has become a familiar one on Cambridge Street. About 10 a.m. Friday, the cab of the tractor-trailer slammed into the Providence & Worcester Railroad bridge overpass. There was no major damage to the truck, as the driver stopped soon after realizing it would not make it through. Police soon shut down part of Cambridge Street while the rig was inspected. The height of the bridge -12 feet, 9 inches- is marked on each side and on the street entrance from Route 146. Even so, this scenario continues to be a common frustration for Worcester police and businesses in the area.

What impact has COVID-19 had on ESG? Has it become more important or less? Have priorities of investors – and the public – shifted? Is climate protection still 'number one'? And how are leading businesses in this space changing their ESG policies and priorities?
Shareholder activism has surged in Japan over the past few years. In addition to the increasing number of activist campaigns, a record 65 Japanese companies received shareholder proposals during this year's AGM season. This is reflective of the government's corporate governance reform, such as the introduction and revision of the stewardship code and corporate governance code serving as a tailwind.
Shareholder activism has made massive inroads into Japan over the last four years. In 2018, the number of activist campaigns in Asia surpassed the number across Europe for the first time, with Japan accounting for the majority of cases in Asia.
The digital revolution and the rise in smartphones, blockchain and artificial intelligence is reshaping the business world. As a result, we are seeing the emergence of a new trend that is threatening to disrupt these technologies and how we use them – that of data ethics.

The 'consent condom' fails to understand how consent actually works
Someone invented a condom to promote consent in relationships. Problem is, the people behind the product seem to have a very limited understanding of consent and sexual assault.
And the problems don't end there. Women have been voicing their concerns on Twitter about the condom's gamification of consent through the product's resemblance to a Rubick's Cube. Some have also raised concerns that the product appears designed to "protect men from rape accusations" rather than protecting women from sexual violence.
SEE ALSO: Consent-oriented condom packaging says four hands are needed to open it, but then again – maybe not
ICYMI, the "consent condom" in the invention of Tulipán, an Argentinian condom brand, designed to promote consent in sexual relationships. The product works by allegedly requiring four hands in order to open the package — a concept that does not take into account people with certain disabilities. Mashable tested out the concept and found a way to open the packaging with just two hands.
Holly Baxter, an editor at the Independent, wrote on Twitter that the condom taps into the already problematic nature of our culture's conversations about consent. "We see this a lot when we talk about consent — products and strategies devised (usually by men) which address the problem of 'women saying they get raped' rather than 'women experiencing sexual assault,'" she wrote.
I feel like we see this a lot when we talk about consent - products and strategies devised (usually by men) which address the problem of 'women saying they get raped' rather than 'women experiencing sexual assault'. I know it's an ad agency gimmick but that still matters
— Holly Baxter (@h0llyb4xter) April 10, 2019
Guardian US opinion columnist Moira Donegan likened the product's concept to solving "a 3D puzzle to get the condom out the wrapper."
Imagine the meeting where someone said, "Straight men are so incompetent that they can't talk to or listen to the women they're trying to have sex with, so let's literally have them solve a 3D puzzle to get the condom out of the wrapper." https://t.co/cdNiojPoA8
— Moira Donegan (@MoiraDonegan) April 10, 2019
Donegan also raised the point that someone who's perpetrating sexual assault, and who "doesn't care about consent", may not care about condoms either.
Frankly it's incredibly optimistic of them to think that the kind of man who doesn't care about consent *does* want to use a condom.
— Moira Donegan (@MoiraDonegan) April 10, 2019
People who rape and commit sexual assault don't always use condoms...hence...no consent. https://t.co/8GpsLzhHyh

If a man doesn't care about your consent I can promise you he doesn't care about putting on a condom first https://t.co/HjQxDYsysd
— Blaec Francis (@blaec_francis) April 10, 2019
One rather large flaw in the product is the complete lack of understanding of how consent actually works.
The use of a puzzle-like device to supposedly ensure consent doesn't factor into the fact that consent is something that's supposed to be "constantly negotiated", and not just a one-time negotiation that can only ever occur at the start of intercourse. As Jo Grady pointed out, it'd be a better use of resources and time to teach people that consent is not "just about opening a condom wrapper together."
As Lily Madigan explains in a Medium piece about enthusiastic consent, "consent isn't constant." "It can easily change and can initially be given hesitantly," writes Madigan. "Therefore, it's so important to check with a sexual partner that they are comfortable with what is going on during a sexual encounter."
How about we teach people that consent is constantly negotiated, & can be withdrawn at any time. It is not just about opening a condom wrapper together. How about we stop peddling products that give shelter to rape apologists. https://t.co/vNBMTgyEW4
— Jo Grady (@DrJoGrady) April 10, 2019
the "consent condom" appears to have been created by people who know nothing about either consensual sex or sexual assault. cool times in this true hellscape
— jes skolnik (@modernistwitch) April 10, 2019
Julia Pugachevsky, sex + relationships and astrology editor at Cosmopolitan, added that the condom was dumbing down the idea of "healthy communication re: sex in a harmful way." Pugachevsky rightly points out that putting on a condom does not constitute consent to "all sexual activity".
I know this is probs just a way to try and go viral but:
1. This dumbs down the idea of healthy communication re: sex in a harmful way
2. It's the condom equivalent of dudes asking for recorded videos of consent
3. Putting on a condom ≠ automatic consent of all sexual activity https://t.co/Xuq58MKJlW
— Julia Pugachevsky (@jaypugz) April 10, 2019
The product has been likened to the recent consent videos and consent contract app that have emerged in the post-#MeToo backlash, which appears to be centred upon fears over men being falsely accused of sexual violence. Research actually suggests that men are more likely to be raped than falsely accused of rape, per Channel 4 fact-checking.
Maybe read up on consent before designing a product about it?

If you're wondering about Scot Nakagawa's use of "LGB" (see Tuesday's post), and my use of LGBQ (see yesterday's post), I wanted to offer this clarification:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer identify sexualities, that is, our attractions and emotions for different sexes. Transgender identifies a gender, which is our sense of manness, womanness, including both or neither. Neither gender nor sexuality is defined by the other, or by our sex, which is our biological identity, based on the reproductive organs we do and don't have.
And so, while LGBTQ is a common acronym, I try to be intentional about using it and not conflate gender and sexuality. Because while homophobia can and often does by default include a fear and hatred of folks who don't conform to our ideas about gender, transgender identity, culture and struggles are not the same as gay or lesbian identity, culture and struggles (which are also markedly different from each other, despite how we weld LG together when we talk about same-sex rights and issues).
That said, using the terms LGBTQ or LGBTTQQ (including transsexual and questioning identities) can reflect an intention to bring together a diverse community that does share the experience of being othered by heteronormative communities (that have clear expectations of gender and sex identities).
So once again, there's no right language that will always fit, never offend and always make you and I look like people who "get it." All we can do is intend and be open.

NEW YORK • Chinese logistics firm ZTO Express has submitted a filing in New York seeking clearance for an initial public offering (IPO) aiming to raise between US$1 billion and US$2 billion (between S$1.35 billion and S$2.7 billion), the IFR reported yesterday, citing people close to the deal.
ZTO Express is a partner in e-commerce giant Alibaba Group's Cainiao Network logistics arm, and its IPO is expected to be marketed as early as September or October, said the International Financing Review, a Thomson Reuters publication.
The company has not yet decided which New York exchange it would use for the listing, one person told the IFR.
First flagged in March, the IPO - if completed - would be the biggest by a Chinese company in the US since Alibaba raised US$25 billion in its public offering in 2014.
ZTO Express could not be reached for comment.
People close to ZTO Express told IFR earlier that the company had opted for a US listing for a faster completion than would be possible in China. This would also make it easier for existing shareholders to book profit from their investments, the people said.
ZTO Express is likely to use the proceeds for future expansion in a competitive industry, IFR reported.
Citigroup, Credit Suisse, China Renaissance, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are arranging the share sale, IFR reported.

Following the welcome decision of Stuart to remain as manager, the Board wanted to take the opportunity to update all Society members and supporters on the overall performance of the club at the end of another enjoyable and important season.
In our communications we want to remain fully transparent and clear about our performance, prospects, risks and opportunities. We have done well but the landscape of the game in Scotland remains challenging and material risks continue.
Significant progress must be made if we are to achieve our goal to be a fully sustainable fan-owned and community focused club.
On the Field Performance
Achieving a second place league finish and qualifying for Europe for the fifth time in six seasons was a tremendous result. We'd like to thank everyone involved with both the playing and backroom staff for their hard work during the season, which made this possible. We are sure everyone enjoyed the style of football and the competitive nature of the league.
Our Under 20s team went through a period of transition with a very young squad and a change of coach, with Gordon Young taking up his role as Academy Director and Jonatan Johansson taking control on a day-to-day basis.
After a challenging start to the campaign, the young players provided some real hope in the closing third of the season, remaining unbeaten in the last six matches and finishing the second half of the season with treble the points of the first. Jonatan and the club staff will work hard to develop and recruit players with the ultimate ambition of feeding the first-team squad.
Off Field Performance
Off the field we have re-structured our Commercial and Academy operations while continuing to expand our Community Trust. We believe that these three key areas are now extremely well placed to deliver value for the club, supporters, sponsors and other partners.
The 'Well Society has made good progress during the year achieving important milestones of appointing a Board, making an initial share subscription and having two Directors appointed to the club board. Graham Barnstaple and Brian McCafferty are not only the representatives of the 'Well Society but importantly play a full and active role in all club decision making.
Financially we benefited from finishing second in the league however the prize money was reduced due to the agreed redistribution of a proportion of the second place prize pot to all clubs in January.
We also achieved lower than expected cup and transfer income and like many other clubs, a drop in our SPL pay at the gate revenue, which for us was approximately 10%. This was partially offset by an increase in season ticket numbers.
Whilst the numbers have yet to be finalised, we expect the outcome for the season to be a low six figure loss. Putting this into a context that the regular supporter can easily understand, had we progressed one more round in the Scottish Cup, the club would be reporting a small profit. Equally had the gates at each home game been around 500 higher, we would have achieved a break-even position.
'Well Society
The financial position of the club was assisted by the initial share subscription from the Well Society of £150,000.
Whilst those funds now belong to the club, they currently sit ring fenced in a separate account with the intention that they will continue to be used only to cover short-term cashflow gaps if possible. All other funds raised by the Society continue to sit outside the club and there are no immediate plans for any additional 'Well Society support in the short term.
We continue to operate without any assistance from either a bank or a benefactor and aim to run the club at break even. After covering the normal costs of running the club, all income generated is invested in the playing squad but the flip side is that when we suffer a reduction in our income, we have less to spend on players.
The club, in partnership with the Motherwell FC Community Trust, is working on a project that will hopefully see the development of an Employability and Sports Training Hub / Facility in North Lanarkshire.
Due to the expansion in the number and the breadth and depth of programmes being delivered by the Community Trust, particularly around youth unemployment, health and wellbeing and increased participation in sport, there is a requirement to develop new dedicated facilities for this extended programme delivery which will also be available to strategic and delivery partners as well as community groups.
The club and the Community Trust are proud to be leading this exciting project, which, if approved, will benefit local people for many years to come.
We are delighted to confirm that our principal club shirt sponsor, Cash Converters, have confirmed an extension which will see them remain as our main shirt sponsor through season 2013/14.
This has been a very positive and innovative partnership, which we hope will continue for at least another season and possibly beyond. Their commitment and support to the club has been first class and their contribution, through interesting and fun match day activities has been excellent to date.
Breathing Space are again confirmed as our back of shirt sponsors and Motorpoint have also confirmed their support again as our short sponsors for season 2013/14
The club are in the first year of a three-year partnership with Maxim Office Park to rename the South Stand to the Maxim Park Office Stand. This partnership is also supported through highly visible branding on the stand.
League Restructure
As most will know, there remains much uncertainty around the level of funding all clubs will receive from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) next season.
Last season, central funding from the SPL accounted for 34% of our total income. At the time of publishing, the SPL has no main sponsor for next season to replace the Clydesdale Bank, and the financial impact of any re-structure remains to be fully quantified. For budgeting purposes we are assuming a drop in central revenue for next season.
Conclusion – Continued Support Required
Against this background, it is vital that we are able to generate as much as possible from season tickets, through gate money, sponsorships and commercial revenue if we hope to retain and attract the quality of players we have become used to seeing at Fir Park over the last few season.
Absolutely key to this is season ticket income. We have worked hard to offer value for our season ticket holders and would ask all our supporters to either renew or seriously consider buying a season ticket for next season. Whilst other revenue streams are clearing important, the more money we are able to generate before the season begins, the more we have to invest in players.
We can also not over state how important the 'Well Society is to the future of the club. We remain fully committed to transferring a controlling shareholding in the club to the Society but this can only be done once it has sufficient funding to be able to operate without risking the future of the club.
The Society currently has 1,164 members and has to date raised close to £420,000, 28% of the original target. Again we would ask all Motherwell fans to seriously consider joining. We believe this is the right model for club ownership in the long term and we will continue to work with the Society Board to do all we can to get to this outcome.
The Board would once again like to thank all who supported the club last year and look forward to welcoming everyone for the Europa and League campaigns in early August.
The Board of Directors of Motherwell FC

Preparing for an introverts' convention…
This Tuesday I'll be flying out to GayRomLit – an annual retreat that brings together both readers and writers in the field of M/M romance. This is the third year for GRL, and the event will be in Atlanta, GA. Of the 400 or so attendees, 100 will be authors, and one of those will be, um, me.
I went to GRL last year in Albuquerque as a reader, which meant I got to have fun, go to all the events, and wasn't required to say anything. I had a great time, and promised myself I'd go back this year with that author badge on. This is a good event for an introvert, because among so many readers and writers, we're pretty well represented. I wasn't the only one standing in darker corners. It's nice to have like-minded company and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm also obsessing over getting ready, but what else is new?
There are things a reader doesn't need at GRL that an author does. Like swag. Official authors bring swag. This refers to the stuff that attendees pick up at the conference with author promo on it – pens, bookmarks, chocolate, postcards, keychains, and so on. This spring, after taking the plunge and signing up, I had a great time for several months looking at all the things you can put your name on, most of which were way out of my price range. But then I had to choose. I eventually found some swag items I hope will be fun. Although I still have to finish the ducks… (I'll try to post a picture after GRL.)
And books. There will be a book signing and I'm going to bring along some of my paper books to sell. I was trying to figure out how many, and was told that other authors last year sold between 2 and 50. Sooooo helpful. It may come down to the 50-pound airline weight limit on my suitcase and how many books fit in there. But if you're going to be at GRL, and want my books, I will have some.
I have a Question & Answer session scheduled for 10:10 AM on Saturday the 19th. I'll be sharing the podium with L.C. Chase, and Abigail Roux, so at least I'm not worried we'll run out of things to talk about. How many Ty & Zane fans can you fit in Ballroom A? It should be good, and maybe by Saturday I'll be over being nervous. Each author gets a 15 minute block of time, so if you have questions about my guys or my writing, there will be a chance to ask them.
The one sad thing for me is that my best friend Sammy, who was supposed to room with me and drag me along to the parties, won't be there. Health issues forced her to cancel. I've promised to pretend she's standing behind me and try to be outgoing on my own. Feel better, Sammy. I'll send you any chocolate body parts swag available in the swag room. Next year, we'll do it together.

In unrelated news, Nor Iron Bars a Cage is doing well on Amazon, despite my having to charge .99 for it. It's in the top ten list for "Romance > Fantasy" along with some het books, which is cool. It may even earn a good donation for the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project, before Amazon makes it free.
I also have a draft cover for the Young Adult short story collection, Rainbow Briefs, which I will release soon as a Kira Harp freebie. My editor, Sara Winters, and I hope to get this out around the end of October. I can't wait to unveil the cover, which is another lovely one from Enny Kraft. I just need to write the freaking blurb first…
~ ~
So, a couple more days to pack, and unpack, and repack. And then I'll see some of you in Atlanta!
October 15, 2013 11:45 am
I am so excited for you. Okay, a bit jealous, but I know you'll have a great time getting to meet all the other writers and fans you only get to speak to online.
And would I be wrong to tell people not to make the book free on Amazon because the money's going to a good place? 🙂 Rainbow Briefs is a great project and I'm glad you let me be a part of it.

Cycled this morning for the first time in a while. Rode up Military Highway north of the base, 11.3 miles round trip, 40 minutes. For those keeping score, that's slow as crap.
But it was time back on the bike, which is time well spent. The "Out" part of the "out and back" route rocked – there was about a 10 MPH tailwind, so the average speed was somewhere upwards of 18 MPH. The way back – not so quick.

It turns out that it is exhausting to get up at five in the morning and go to back-to-back interviews. By the time I made it home mid-afternoon I had to give in and take a nap. I'm such an old lady. Both interviews went well- I feel cautiously optimistic that my prospects are good, although it is still too soon to make any grand announcements.
One of the interviews involved skill tests for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel and a typing speed-test. I felt pretty good about the Microsoft Word test- only got three questions wrong, but was slightly less pleased with how I did with Microsoft Excel. I use Excel a lot, but in my defense, I don't really use it for the kind of accounting and bookkeeping that it was designed for, so I was easily stumped when it came to questions about various functions. I think that I did reasonably well on the typing test, although I never got to see the results. I found myself at a slight disadvantage trying to type on a keyboard with full-depth keys when I'm used to typing on laptops where the keys are shorter and flatter. But I guess I'll have to type on all kinds of keyboards, so I'd better get used to adapting.
So that was my day. I made it home and crashed and then got up and started puttering around the house. Today's "adulting" task was to clean the stovetop, which took several rounds of scrubbing and still isn't perfectly pristine. I decided it was Good Enough when my fingertips turned into prunes. I'll have to keep wearing away at it I think.
It's probably a good night to get to bed early. Tomorrow I have several meetings and a little bit of follow-up work that I need to address from today. After that, the week is still pretty open, but I'm sure it will fill up fast. Things seem to be moving!

The negative, often lifelong effects of imprisonment on mental health are widely acknowledged, but little regard is often given to the families and communities impacted by mass incarceration. The United States has the largest incarcerated population on Earth; in 2019, there are 2.3 million people in state and federal prisons and county jails. Repeat offense rates are also high, a testament to the lack of proper rehabilitation resources and services being offered to the incarcerated.
Communities with the highest incarceration levels also have higher crime rates and poverty levels. Children grow up without parents, and single spouses and family members are left to pick up the financial gap in the incarcerated individual's absence.
To improve community life, promote greater social wellness and family systems in affected communities, alternatives to mass incarceration must be considered and advocated for by the general people.
Altering Criminal Offense Sentences
While people should not live anywhere that is lawless, it would be more beneficial to change the average jail sentence associated with certain offenses. Non-violent crimes comprise a large part of the U.S. criminal justice system, and many people who are not a threat to society are wasting years behind bars when they could be learning how to change their behaviors and become productive members of society.
Rehabilitation Programs
In the world's best prisons, the incarcerated are not viewed as menaces but instead people in need of help. Extensive rehabilitation services enable people to address emotional trauma, change behavioral tendencies, build confidence and develop skills that will enable them to rejoin society and become productive, valued members of their communities.
The United States has many therapy programs integrated into its prison system, but they are not very effective or extensive enough to have a long-standing impact on the individual. As a result, repeat offenses are higher, and a lack of resources after a person has been released from prisons often leads them to commit another crime.
Acknowledging the Bigger Problem
As governments explore alternatives to mass incarceration, it's vital to also consider the underlying cases and address them accordingly. Early intervention and proactive, preventative measures integrated into the most at-risk communities could keep families together, lower crime rates and lead to more inclusive societies.

I'm just gonna put this right at the top: if you are picking this up expecting the cocky Robert Downey jr. version of Tony Stark from the MCU, you will be disappointed.
With that out of the way, one of the things that's most interesting to examine in this, and most of these older novels, are the changes that have happened since these novels dropped and become fundamental pieces of the characters.
So let's dive in deep and see what some of them are, gang.
As per usual, this is your official ***SPOILER ALERT***
With only 189 pages, it's not a convoluted story, and that's a good thing.
After an attempted kidnapping at a college speaking gig and a robbery that stole the Iron Man blue prints from Stark International headquarters, Tony decides to sell an unarmed, stripped down version of the red and gold armor to the highest bidder.
The behemoth man monster MODOK, running low on funds and credibility for his ner-do-well organization AIM, concocted the nefarious plots against Stark and his alter-ego to get the suit and carry out more villainous operations to take over the world.
One of the biggest changes that have come down the pike that may stun folks would have to be the marriage of Happy & Pepper.
That's right, gang, 40 years ago they were happily hitched!
That's something I knew and forgot, and when I read it I damn near unloaded a entire house worth of bricks in my undies.
Even in the comics, as far back as I have been reading the funny books, Tony & Pepper had been circling each other.
The other big difference MCU fans will immediately notice is that Tony is still in the super closet as he's told the world Iron Man is just a bodyguard of his.
So kickin' back into that mindset is fun and (as I touched on in my Incredible Hulk: Stalker From The Stars Review) that's really key to this particular series of Marvel novels.
Are they in depth & revelatory character studies that get to the heart of the human condition?
Fuuuuck no, man!
Are they fun, full of thrilling comic booky adventure, excitement, characters, & hints at continuity?
100%, hell yes.
And you don't need to have read 500 issues to understand either, Tony's origin is given a refresher here for 2 probable reasons.
1. To make sure you understand where this specific version of the character is coming from.
2. To hook in people who may have never read a comic and make it easy to dive in and get a good feel for this world.
And it works perfectly.
As I sort of said in my Hulk review, this is what comic books and comic book based stories should be, gang.
You don't need to always juggle 427 characters, tie-in issues, and story threads.
Sometimes, just a simple story of a hero and a villian covers all your bases and scratches the itch.
Simple and effective is what made these characters stand out, and that's what I want to see again.
This series of novels are exactly what I want, and I can't wait to find more of them.
Let us what you think of this review in the comments below or share this post on Twitter with the Hashtag #TNBBookReview.
