What is the purpose of the Bowl Judgments? "Annialitive Wrath." These judgments are severe and extreme.
God is now releasing His wrath with full force on this world that has now become extremely wicked and evil. These Judgements that God will be throwing at them are so supernatural, that these people will know, without any shadow of a doubt, that it is really God doing all of this.
Its a miracle that anyone has survived to this point of the seven year tribulation. God is about to release the worse judgments to date, called the Bowl Judgments.
There are basically two type of people left.
1. Those that have blatantly rejected the Gospel message and sided with the Antichrist by accepting his mark called the Mark of the beast. These people, in their free will choice have doomed themselves to hell for eternity, it was their choice. God provided ample opportunities given the cause and effect of the last 14 judgments to repent and call to Jesus Christ to save them.
2. And finally, the hard hearted, both Jew and gentile, the stubborn ones who still refuse to accept Jesus as their savior and Messiah and also reject the Antichrist. The Jews who chose to remain behind in Israel after the Antichrist defiled the temple which caused a remnant to flee to Petra. It is these that refuse to live under the authority of the Antichrist by not accepting the mark, most are probably on the run fearing being caught without the mark. And the Jews who chose to say in Israel will be horribly persecuted by the Antichrist
The Bowl Judgments are much different in scope and effect than the last two sets of judgments.
The Seal Judgments, (Redemptive Wrath) targeting those that sided with the Antichrist and his sycophants who murdered Christians by trying to stifle the message of salvation, The Apostle John describes the martyred saints as crying out for justice to God, John also states that the number of the martyred could not be counted and compares their numbers to grains of sand along a sea shore.
The Trumpet Judgments, (Destructive Wrath) are probably the most unique of all the judgments. Cosmic occurrences, stars falling etc. God strikes the earth in thirds. The world will see strange creatures that sting anyone without the seal of God on their foreheads. An army of 200 million horseman that kill 1/3rd of mankind. Hail and fire are thrown to earth burning trees and grass. A great burning star called Wormwood falls from heaven poisoning a third of all fresh water and a third of all sea life, and ocean going vessels are destroyed. This set of judgments are geared towards the unrepentant and those who haven't made up their minds about Jesus Christ. A second chance so to speak.
The Bowl Judgments, (Annialitive Wrath) are also unique in the fact that when the bowls are poured out by the seven angels, the affect of each judgment causes extreme punishment to those targeted by these judgments. The Bowl judgments target those that sided with the Antichrist, then God turns His eye towards the Great Harlot, meaning the Antichrists government, and his seat of power.
Horrible malignant sores and boils.
For instance, the first bowl causes horrible malignant sores and boils on those that took the mark of the Antichrist. I don't know about you but I have a experienced a few boils in my life, on one occasion I experienced what is called a carbuncle, a very large type of boil. I suffered with this thing for two weeks, now imagine boils and carbuncles all over your body covering every inch, the pain would be excruciating to say the least, millions will die.
Another of the Bowl judgments that is unique is The Fourth Bowl Judgment.
In this judgment God literally turns up the heat. We have already seen that God has already struck causing a third part of the sea to turn to blood during the 2nd trumpet, but the second bowl includes all oceans and seas. Imagine when all living creatures in the worlds oceans and seas die. Think of the unbearable stench and disease.
The Object of the Fifth Bowl—The throne of the Beast.
While the remaining population is still reeling from the horrible sores and dreadful heat and bloody oceans God will turn His attention the the Antichrist, his seat of government (Babylon) and his evil kingdom. Suddenly at this point utter darkness is poured out on the beast's throne, the very place of his rule, and neither Satan nor the Antichrist can do anything alleviate this judgment.
God is not done with the Antichrist and the Great Harlot. The Fifth bowl God attacks the throne of the Antichrist casting it into utter darkness. In God's next move He literally wipes out the Antichrist throne and all the mechanisms that run his short lived empire.
Babylon is Destroyed. Revelation 18:1.
After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance. He shouted with a powerful voice:
"Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great!
She has become a lair for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detested beast. For all the nations have fallen from the wine of her immoral passion, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her and the merchants of the earth have gotten rich from the power of her sensual behavior."
This particular event or attack results in a multifaceted judgment and a continuation of the fifth bowl judgment, not just against the person (Antichrist and his False Prophet,) but against the religion of worshiping the images of the Beast, and the required Mark of the Beast instituted by the False Prophet, but will include Gods wrath against an evil and corrupt system of government. A system stained by the blood of all the tribulation saints slain under the Antichrist government and anyone working within his system. Prior to this attack every facet of daily living and business is organized through the seat of the Antichrist, Babylon.
When God sends His mighty angels to wipe out and burn the city I can't emphasize enough the fact that every facet of the Antichrists government will be destroyed, all commerce, banking, and religious dealing will be gone, this causes the nations of the world to weep bitterly.
Revelation 18-10. They will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment, and will say, "Woe, woe, O great city, Babylon the powerful city! For in a single hour your doom has come!"
Revelation 18:14-19 clarifies this fact. (The ripe fruit you greatly desired has gone from you, and all your luxury and splendor have gone from you –they will never ever be found again!)
18:15 The merchants who sold these things, who got rich from her, will stand a long way off because they are afraid of her torment. They will weep and mourn, 18:16 saying,"Woe, woe, O great city –dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet clothing,and adorned with gold,precious stones, and pearls.
18:17 because in a single hour such great wealth has been destroyed!" And every ship's captain, and all who sail along the coast seamen, and all who make their living from the sea, stood a long way off.
18:18 and began to shout when they saw the smoke from the fire that burned her up,"Who is like the great city?"
18:19 And they threw dust on their heads and were shouting with weeping and mourning,"Woe, Woe, O great city –in which all those who had ships on the sea got rich from her wealth – because in a single hour she has been destroyed!"Then we see the Sixth Bowl is poured out and
The Great Euphrates River literally drys up.
The Euphrates river is allowed to dry up to prepare the way for the kings of the east to come for the last and final battle on planet earth. The kings of the east are China and several other Asian nations. A Side Note, when we think of the term or phrase (Armageddon) we are hit with images of nuclear war and massive worldwide destruction, honestly this thinking and understanding of Armageddon is a misconception, more like a misnomer.
The Valley of Armageddon, or "Harmagedon, is refereed to as the The Central Jezreel Valley, and will be a central rally point to organize the coming battle to conquer Israel and fight against Jesus Christ.
Jezreel means "God will Sow." roughly 380 square kilometers in size, is bounded on the north by the Nazareth mountains and Mount Tabor, on the east and south by Mount Gilboa and the mountains of Samaria respectively, and on the west by Mount Carmel.
Megiddo was the name of a fortified city and a plain in northern Palestine, present day Northern Israel,The plain of Megiddo was strategically located, a kind of natural battlefield and the scene of one notably disastrous battle, the defeat of King Josiah at the hands of Pharaoh Neco of Egypt (2 Kings 23:29-30; 2 Chron 35:20-24).
The Seventh Bowl. Revelation 16:17-21.
"Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "It is done!" And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth. Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, every hailstone about the weight of a talent. And the men blasphemed God because of the plagues of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great. "God proclaims in a loud voice from the throne "it is done" at that point a massive worldwide earthquake literally changing the face of the planet forever. But were not done here.
The world awaits the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Next. The First Bowl Judgment.

What about fiber on a low-carb diet?
What about fiber on a low-carb diet? How much do we need? What are the origins of the idea that it is good for us? What are the guidelines? What is the totality of the evidence? What are the claimed mechanisms by which fiber could be of benefit? And when did all of this start?
In this presentation from the Low Carb Denver 2019 conference, Dr. Zoë Harcombe walks us through the background to the guidelines for fiber.
This is our #14 published presentation from the Low Carb Denver conference. Find all the earlier ones here.
Transcript of the preview above
Dr. Zoë Harcombe: And we are asked to eat starchy foods which then replenishes our glycogen. That's the many sugars of the digestible form. And we then have indigestible many sugars and they come in a soluble version which would be things like beans or oats and that means they dissolve or swell in water and then there is an insoluble version which would be more like bran.
Now actually I should have put the toilet next to both of those because both the soluble and the insoluble fiber, this is what fiber is, that's the circle of fiber, both of them end up down the toilet. Doesn't it immediately make you think, perhaps fiber isn't quite so good for us after all?
Some of you will be familiar with this famous quote from the panel on macro nutrients 2005, "The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero." We don't need carbohydrate, it is not an essential nutrient provided that enough fat and protein are consumed. So, we've just immediately seen that fiber is a subset of carbohydrates.
So, we have no need for carbohydrate, we have therefore no need for fiber and very kindly the most recent American dietary guidelines 2015 to 2020 reinforced this for us. So, first of all they just defined what an essential nutrient is, something that we must consume, we cannot synthesize it in the body and then they very kindly added dietary fiber while not essential. So, we have the situation that dietary fiber is not essential.

Étienne Meunier is one of the best known master furniture makers of the Louis XV period (1715 – 1774). He came from a large family, many of whom also practised the same craft, although he was its most eminent member. He established his practice in Paris in the rue de Cléry and it is believed that he became a master furniture maker circa 1732. Most of his work is thought to have been produced for fashionable furniture dealers, such as Pierre Migeon and Étienne Igou, rather than for individual private clients.
Over the course of a successful career, he produced a wide variety of furniture, but his reputation was mostly founded on his designs for chairs, of which he produced many different types, such as desk chairs, chaises longues, sun loungers and cabriolet armchairs with graceful curved backs. His most characteristic design was for his classic Louis XV desk chair with its distinctive front leg and circular seat, which was either upholstered in leather or finished in woven cane, and he is widely believed to be one of the originators of this type of chair. Desk chairs by Meunier are now found in the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the J.P. Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The example in the Rijksmuseum is particularly unique as it is veneered in hardwood with bronze ornamentation, rather than being painted as was the style at that time.
Meunier's style as a furniture maker was restrained and simple with floral motifs and elegant curves, very much in keeping with the mid period style of Louis XV. The furniture of this period is characterised by its simplicity and elegance of form, in a reaction to the exuberant and ornate fashion that preceded it, known as rocaille, which often used exotic coloured hardwoods, with ivory and mother of pearl inlay. Louis XV furniture was designed not for the vast state rooms of the Palace of Versaille but for the smaller more intimate salons created by Louis XV and his mistresses, Madame de Pompadour and Madame DuBarry. This period saw the introduction of many new types of furniture, such as the commode and the chiffonier, and most pieces were designed to be easily portable, so that they could be simply rearranged depending on the function that was taking place.
Examples of furniture by Étienne Meunier are now found in many major museum collections worldwide, in Paris at the Louvre, the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, the Musée Carnavalet, and the Musée Jacquemart-Andre; in Strasbourg at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs; in Amsterdam at the Rijksmuseum and in Los Angeles at the J.P. Getty Museum.

The November Purchasers Manger's Index posted a score of 58.2, falling 0.5 point month on month, (m/m) and a bit lower than analysts' expectations. Despite the decline, the index remains at elevated levels. The new orders index climbed 0.6 point to 64.0, its six month in a row over 60. The index remains in line with its third quarter average but above its first half average of 56.4. Conditions are favorable for the index to record further gains heading into the first quarter of 2018.
The ISM manufacturing index is based on surveys of 400 purchasing managers in 20 industries. The survey is a diffusion index calculated as a percent of responses. A value of 50 is neutral, while less than 50 is contracting and greater than 50 is expansionary.
Figure 1 shows the history of the ISM manufacturing index from 2003 to present. The index is solidly in the expansion zone, where it has been for 15 consecutive months. On a 3 month moving average, (3MMA) basis, the index posted a value 59.2, up 13.5%, 3 months year on year (y/y). When examined on a 12MMA y/y comparison, the index increased by 12.2% y/y.
Table 1 breaks down the detail of the composite index and sub-indexes. The composite index score of for November 58.2 was 0.8 point higher than its year to date average, one year ago the composite index was 53.2.
Momentum (3 month y/y value minus the 12 month y/y value), was positive in five of the nine categories that we monitor. The composite index momentum was +1.3%. Production posted momentum of +0.4%. New orders momentum came in at a strong +4.5%. The employment sub-index momentum recorded a gain of +1.3%. Import momentum dropped -0.5% as export momentum fell 2.6%, (we consider this a positive). Inventory momentum was -3.9% and backlog momentum posted +0.6%.
Breaking down the sub-indexes for the monthly numbers: Inventory, (not seasonally adjusted) sub-index slipped one point m/m to 47.0 in November. ISM notes that an inventory index greater than 42.9 points is consistent with expansion in the Bureau of Economic Analysis' figures for overall manufacturing inventories.
The production sub-index jumped 2.9 points to 63.9, a very strong performance. An index above 51.4, is consistent with an increase in the Federal Reserve Board's industrial production figures. There were 14 industries that reported growth in production during November, the same as in October.
The employment index dipped 0.1 point to 59.7, still a solid number. Eleven industries reported growth in production during November while two noted a decline.
The prices paid sub-index was off 3.0 points m/m to 65.5. Commodities moving up in price include: aluminum, copper, nickel based alloys and plastics. Items listed in short supply included; capacitors, resistors. Labor was not listed as being in short supply as it is in the non-manufacturing data.
New export orders fell 0.5 point m/m to 56.5. New import orders rose from 0.5 point m/m to 54.5. The difference between new export and import orders indicates that trade was a drag on growth this quarter.
November's ISM manufacturing report was generally positive with the promise of continuing strong performance for manufacturing the coming months and quarters.
At Gerdau we closely monitor the ISM manufacturing index since it is an excellent barometer of the present strength as well as a window on the likely short-run future of US manufacturing.

Los Angeles, CA – Track 16 Gallery, One Nation Hollywood, and Diana Wagman present some of Los Angeles's leading literary figures -- among them Sarah Bynum, Ron Carlson, Percival Everett, Janet Fitch, Luis Rodriguez, Susan Straight, Marisa Silver, and Marianne Wiggins -- reading from their work at Authors for Obama, a special fundraiser to be held at Track 16 Gallery, Bergamot Station, on Sunday, October 19th from 6 to 8 PM. All funds raised will be used to help the Obama campaign win the crucial swing state of Nevada. The reading will be held in the context of the politically charged work of artist and activist Robbie Conal in his retrospective exhibition, "No Spitting, No Kidding,"
The authors will either write something specifically for the event, or read work that fits the occasion. Novelist Diana Wagman sparked the event, calling on friends to help as readers and organizers. "There was a similar event in New York," says Wagman. "And I know Los Angeles is a bigger book town. People here love books and authors and Barack Obama. What a perfect combination."
The reading is expected to raise sufficient funds to allow dozens of California volunteers to canvas for votes in the swing state of Nevada. According to Wagman, "We need to bring our energy to bear where it is needed most: Nevada. We are neck-and-neck there, and the 5 electoral votes represented in Nevada may very well be the difference on Election Day."
Authors for Obama features Sarah Bynum, Ron Carlson, Percival Everett, Janet Fitch, Luis Rodriguez, Susan Straight, Marisa Silver, and Marianne Wiggins reading from their work. Additional authors TBD.

Many employers today are launching worksite wellness programs. But they are these efforts truly wellness programs? Continue reading to understand why they are certainly not.
Within worksite wellness, I too frequently think we percieve issues to be either/or, instead of being inclusive. Most worksite wellness programs today aren't about wellness whatsoever, but instead increasing the health status of person employees. While our attention is centered on worker health status, it doesn't mean we can not also begin to deliver wellness type programming and interventions too.
So what exactly is the main difference?
While there are a variety of wellness definitions open to consider, I'll make use of the definition and model help with through the National Wellness Institute (NWI). NWI defines wellness as "an energetic process by which people notice making choices toward a far more effective existence." The NWI type of wellness includes six, interconnected dimensions:
• Physical
• Social
• Intellectual
• Spiritual
• Emotional
• Work-related
Like wellness, health is frequently described like a multi-dimensional concept. Health is usually measured when it comes to:
• Physical conditions for example discomfort, disability or condition prone to cause dying
• Emotional conditions
• Social functioning
Health status is really a snapshot of health at anyone particular point-in-time. Health status could be measured at both individual and population levels. Individual health status could be measured fairly through:
• The presence or lack of illness
• The presence or lack of risks
• The seriousness of any illnesses present
• Overall thought of health
At work, worker health status is usually measured by using health risks assessments and biometric screenings.
As well as I'm able to determine, there's no absolute way of measuring health status. And since the way of measuring health status includes overall thought of health, health status can also be somewhat subjective.
By evaluating the above mentioned definitions using the way worksite wellness has been practiced today, we are able to clearly observe that what's being known as wellness today isn't wellness, however , worker health status improvement (EHSI). So from my perspective, let us stop calling what we should do today worksite wellness and refer to it as worker health status improvement or worker health improvement rather. Rather of making phony worksite wellness programs, let us rather concentrate on creating solid, effective EHSI programs rather.
Given today's worksite wellness program focus almost solely on health, most of the concepts and practices already in position could be readily used in the EHSI program model. Since health status is really a purpose of disease states, risks and all around health perception, let us focus the interest of EHSI programs on risk reduction, chronic disease management, medical self-care and helping employees to higher see and act upon their own health status.
Since we're not confronted with an either/or situation here, let us also begin to do wellness programs simultaneously we're doing EHSI programs. EHSI programs won't ever equal wellness since they're not made to. In their best, EHSI programs are made to avoid health issues. Prevention or avoidance alone won't ever yield wellness. Creating wellness necessitates the taking of deliberate actions to maneuver beyond the purpose of prevention or no health problems. Prevention and avoidance derive from the pathogenesis model that won't, alone, ever create wellness.
Recall the phrase wellness. Wellness is all about creating possibilities for "a far more effective existence." Wellness is really a process where worker health status is really a static snapshot at just one point-in-time. Wellness is carefully aligned with the idea of salutogenesis, or the development of possibilities for health.
Considering that wellness is multi-dimensional, listed here are my present ideas by what constitute wellness type programming at work for each one of the wellness dimensions:
• Physical – This domain is going to be taught in EHSI program
• Social – Creating positive, supportive, worker first or worker centric business cultures and workplace climates random functions of kindness worker volunteer programs
• Intellectual – Brain physical fitness
• Spiritual – Helping employees find meaning and purpose both in work and existence
• Emotional – Workplace mental health promotion stress management building resilience
• Work-related – Integration with worker safety integration with worker training and development
In my opinion pathogenesis and salutogenesis represent different segments from the health – wellness continuum and may effectively co-exist because they build off each other peoples core concepts. Employers can and really should deliver both EHSI and worksite wellness programs.

Cannabis seeds are excluded from the legal notion of cannabis, which means that they are not to be considered as a narcotic substance (Law 412 of 1974, Article 1, paragraph 1, letter B, the Single Convention on New York Drugs of 1961 and table II of the ministerial decree 27/7/1992).
Their cultivation is forbidden, so these seeds can be used exclusively for collecting purposes and for genetic preservation. These seeds are distributed with the reservation that they are not used by third parties in conflict with the current laws.

When we are talking about White Rice, we are simultaneously talking about the majority of the population that depends on White Rice as their staple diet. How can we miss on the part where White Rice is the main ingredient to so many wonderful dishes that restaurants serve? But the question that people always ask is whether eating White Rice every day is healthy or not. Before we get into healthy or unhealthy facts, we must also address the fact that people believe that eating White Rice every day will make them fat.
What is Rice?
Rice is a grass which is cultivated like any other food items are, and there are lakhs and lakhs of people who depend on this grain as their main food.
Does eating White Rice make us fat?
This question has been of prime importance to people who are on a diet or are fighting through weight issues. Well, rice is not at all fattening all you have to do is consider eating small portions of it or portions that would suit your body. Rice is indeed a good source of Vitamins and Minerals. So, one can eat it daily without worrying about their increasing weight because rice is not going to contribute anything to eat.
Is White Rice Healthy?
After rice is harvested, it undergoes processes that remove the parts that are indigestible. Then comes the portion that is keenly referred to as Brown Rice, and it, of course, is nutritious. White Rice, on the other hand, is the polished version of Brown Rice. It is true that some nutrients are lost when the rice is polished, but it doesn't make the White Rice, an unhealthy option overall. As the White Rice which is now refined becomes lighter and is easily digestible. Eating small portions of White Rice or instead, we should say eating a portion size that is recommended, makes it an always go-to healthy option for people who consider being on a diet.
White Rice has adequate fibres that proves to be beneficial for our health, so you can consider it eating with other Healthy options like dal or add loads of vegetables to it while cooking the rice. There are plenty of choices of eating White Rice considering taste buds as well as health conscious. It adds to the overall nutrients level.
What makes White Rice unhealthy for some, if Eaten every day?
White Rice has a high amount of starch present which breaks down the glucose present in the body, breakage in glucose means an increase in the insulin levels. Now people suffering from Diabetes cannot afford to have a rise in their insulin levels, so they shouldn't eat White Rice every day or rather avoid eating it. Similarly, White Rice is high in glycaemic index which further increases the blood sugar levels of the body causing trouble to someone who has sugar problems.
One can anytime switch to Brown rice if they can adjust to its taste as it has always been a Healthy option. But for someone who is fond of White Rice, you can continue to have it provided you are not diabetic.

Taylor Swift Has Puppy Love for Tim Tebow
Taylor Swift may be a self-proclaimed cat lady, but rumor has it she's actually in puppy love. Us Weekly reports that the 'Safe & Sound' singer has a major crush on her maybe-dinner-date Tim Tebow.
As we previously reported, Swift, 22, had dinner with Tebow, 24, at Los Angeles eatery Toscanova on Monday, Feb. 27, and that they arrived at the restaurant together. Tebow was said to have walked Swift out after dinner before returning to their table with two others who may have been the pair's agents. Now more details emerged on the outing.
Us claims that during their dinner, Swift sipped a latte and just ogled Tebow "like a little puppy dog" the entire time, and that she has a crush on him and is a "massive fan." So does the Denver Broncos quarterback feel the same?
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound that way. The source reveals, "I don't think he sees her that way." However, the two are, in fact, pals. "They actually have been speaking a lot about the Bible and Christianity," the source dished. "Right now it's on the friendship tip –- even though that frustrates her." Aw, keep your chin up, Taylor -- at least you have Meredith (and Kevin McGuire)!

Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 ESV What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.
Now we come to Part 3 of our study and now we shall at the positive. We have seen the "gloom and doom" of a life apart from our Creator. This week we will now look at the God's laid out plan for an extraordinary life. By that I mean the Christian life.
Let's be honest, some of us may not be living in this kind of plan. We may be spending our lives on what we have studied last time. But it's not too late. God is the God of second chances. Let us repent and desire to walk on what God has set.
Now let us dive in God's Word to see the extraordinary plan He gave to us believers.
Life Near to God: Past, Present and Future
Past: 2 Corinthians 5: 17-18
Corinthians 5:17-18 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
This is a familiar verse that shed light on what happens to a person who became a Christian. In verse 17 we are "a new creation" and "the old has passed away." Meaning our old self is connected with our past is now gone because we are "in Christ". God in His goodness, cancels our past and gave us the now which is new. He gave us a fresh start. Looking at verse 18 we read that "All of this is from God…" Our past though colorful it maybe, we are apart from God. In that we should be grateful. We should be filled with thankfulness for what He has done. We are now to set an extraordinary life that is provided solely by God.
(To be continued next week…)

The Panther's Prey, More or Less
Normally in these comparisons between the original cover of a Fantastic Four story and its reinterpretation by another artist for the story's reprint in the pages of Marvel's Greatest Comics, there's a balance between the original work and the newer that lets you equally appreciate the interesting choices made by their respective artists. But in the case of Fantastic Four #52, which introduces the Black Panther, the covers by Jack Kirby and Jim Starlin make striking such a balance difficult:
Both covers are inked by Joe Sinnott, which levels the playing field a little--but as with many of these cover line-ups, the real meat of the debate is in the different approaches taken by the pencillers with respect to the issue's story. The Panther, the mysterious chieftain of Wakanda, issues an invitation to the FF to be his guests, but arranges an elaborate trap for them in order to test himself in battle before he faced an old enemy (Klaw, the "Master of Sound") returning to steal Wakanda's mound of vibranium. Yet for this particular issue, the reader only knows that the Panther is intent on trapping and taking out the FF, for reasons unknown. So the cover has to really do only a couple of things for the reader: give the Panther a dramatic introduction, and show him being a threat to the FF.
As you can see, Starlin throws out subtlety altogether and cuts to the chase of the story on his cover, with perhaps practical reasons. For one thing, since this story has been published before, Starlin has to do more on the cover to "sell" (or in this case, re-sell) the story of the Panther, who by the time of this reprint is now an established character as well as one of the Avengers; as a result, there's no need to "introduce" or otherwise feature the Panther prominently on the cover, and so the more popular FF takes front and center (obviously in peril) while the Panther is moved to the background. Also, Starlin is handicapped by the smaller cover area he's given to work with, as opposed to the original's full-size area which Kirby can take advantage of--so cramming the important elements of the story into the frame may have been his only option. He also ditches the Panther's original cape motif, which might have confused contemporary readers.
As for Kirby, he meets the two cover conditions given above yet chooses to heighten the drama and stay true to the actual theme of the story. Here, the Black Panther is a mysterious new character, and receives appropriate attention on the cover while still keeping the FF reasonably visible in a marketing sense, neither stealing the other's thunder. Though Kirby's symbolic splash page, which nearly duplicates the cover, drives home the point that it's the Black Panther who's the focus of this story:
And while Starlin "spills the beans" of how the Panther traps the members of the FF*, Kirby only lets the reader know that the FF are being stalked--and that while they're approaching the danger in force, their caution speaks volumes.
*Starlin obviously doesn't have room to show the Torch's actual trap, so instead the Torch gets a pose that indicates the Panther has rendered him helpless in some way. As for the Invisible Girl, let's just pretend she's invisible--well, invisibly trapped, I guess.
4 comments:
Yeah, we're looking at two great coves here, two different approaches. I'm a big Starlin fan, but I prefer the Kirby version. The Panther doesn't have a visually striking or colorful costume, compared to most characters, it's pretty subdued. What Kirby did was draw him as quite feline and exaggerated, which caught my eye. He played up that element, that "hook", I guess, to sell this new character. And it's quite significant, because unless I'm mistaken, it's the first black superhero.

That's a good point about the exaggerated pose being used to catch the eye. I might go one further and suggest that the use of the moon in the background also served to highlight the character in that regard.

Wasn't there an urban myth going around that there were TWO different covers to that iconic first appearance of the Black Panther? One had the Panther with a full-face mask- the other had a partial half- mask [like Batman, showing his mouth]. And that Marvel demanded that the one with him in a full-face mask be the one distributed, as they felt uncomfortable having a black hero/villain appear on the front cover.
- August 26, 2013 at 2:47 PM
- Comicsfan said...
Gosh, the only time I remember the Panther having a half-mask was when he first joined the Avengers. It was only about two years later than the FF story--which I guess was time enough for Marvel to reconsider the mask, assuming there was any substance to that myth.

Hi Grit
Sometimes I have this theory that the whole world is built on conspiracy because it seems that throughout the ages almost any major event, particularly a disaster or catastrophe, generates a plethora of conspiracy theories aimed at questioning the official versions of events.
Last night (18th February), I watched a programme on the BBC, which was about the conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 9/11. Whilst there might appear to be justification for some of the theories outlined, others to me were so bizarre as to be incomprehensible. To suggest that the twin towers fell as a result of demolition when there is clear visual evidence of planes flying into them, is sheer idiocy. Then, they add to this the (so-called) fact that the government destroyed a nearby building because it contained a CIA office which held evidence of this tragedy being a US government plot. Others were theorising that the passengers of flight 93 were abducted by government agents and that the plane did not crash. Yet more tried to suggest that the plot was known six months earlier, because a film was produced which had a similar story-line, only as is the case with films, that had a happier ending. I am actually surprised that no-one bought Tom Clancy into one of these mad theories, because in one of his books a passenger plane is flown into the White House, killing the President.
Of course, the US is not alone in this pursuit of conspiracy theories. Here in the UK, despite it being ten years ago, the conspiracy theories surrounding the death of the late Princess Diana still continue to flourish. These range from those who suggest that it was a government backed plot to kill the princess in order to avoid her marriage to a Middle-East family, which they felt might tarnish the Royal lineage, to those who believe that the Royal Family themselves were behind the accident.
Of course, conspiracies are not solely restricted to tragedies. One only has to look at the pro-global warming proponents conspiracy theories about denialists, or the "alien" theories surrounding crop circles, to see that whenever there is a major phenomena, the word "conspiracy" is one of the first to follow official explanations.
One has to wonder about the reasons and conditions that lead peoples minds to turn so readily towards conspiracy as an explanation. Whilst it is true that, particularly in politics on both sides of the Atlantic, there have been many political cover-ups and total lies, which make believing anything that comes out of a politician's mouth difficult to believe, the vast majority of these are proven to be lies within months, if not sooner.
Perhaps it is the enormity and shock of these events that lead people to automatically question their occurance. In the two cases mentioned above, the events themselves were beyond the perception and belief of the ordinary member of the public. Such is the depth of the disbelief that it defies all reason and logic. Similarly, there is a lack of belief in a system or society structure that allows such events to occur and it affects the trust we have in that society. Thus, in order to fill the void of understanding and comprehension, perhaps we all look to ourselves to provide an explanation that is equally enormous and outrageous in its foundation.
Personally, I have my own conspiracy theory. I believe that there is a conspiracy between the conspiracy theorists to stop both lies and truth being believed.

PATERSON – The New Jersey State Department of Environmental Protection, Natural & Historic Resources, Historic Preservation Office announced the Passaic County Court House and the Court House Annex, built as the US Customs House and Post Office, have been entered into both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Jersey Register of Historic Places.
"Obtaining the registration is another achievement in further safeguarding the county's cultural legacy," said Freeholder Director Hector C. Lora. "Both listings will help protect these superb buildings, as well as place the county in a better position to apply for federal and state preservation grants."
The Passaic County Court House at 73-87 Hamilton Street and the United States Customs House and Post Office (Court House Annex) at 63-65 Hamilton Street, both in Paterson, NJ, are now protected by the review process codified in stabled by the New Jersey Register of Historic Places Act (N.J.A.C. 7:4).
"Understanding and appreciating the history of our imposing Passaic Vicinage Courthouse fortifies our commitment to a reliable, independent and fair judiciary," stated Passaic County Assignment Judge Ernest Caposela.
The Passaic County Courthouse was constructed during the heyday of what is termed the American Renaissance in public architecture. This landmark structure, along with the nearby Courthouse Annex, is indelibly linked with the storied history of Paterson and Passaic County.
Last May, the county freeholders celebrated the reopening of the courthouse's historic front entrance, and the refurbishment of the building's magnificent stained glass inner dome. The entrance had been closed to public access for the better part of three decades.
According to Passaic County Historian Edward A. Smyk: "In 1895 the Freeholders determined that a new courthouse was needed for consolidating in one building all departments and the judiciary. Planning for the courthouse commenced in December of that year with the appointment of a specially constituted courthouse commission. Samuel Burrage Reed, the chosen architect, aimed at judicial dignity in developing his lofty design by cladding the exterior in Indiana limestone, and finishing off the interior spaces with marble. This in a nutshell was a building meant to impress and endure. Few would quibble over its classic beauty. The soaring courthouse exterior dome is reminiscent of a smaller, yet exquisite and timeless structure, the Tempietto of San Pietro in Montorio, built in Rome in 1502 by Donato Brumante, renowned Italian Renaissance architect."
The New Jersey Register of Historic Places is the official list of New Jersey properties worthy of preservation. The National Register of Historic Places is the country's official list of properties and resources deemed significant to U.S. history, architecture, archaeology, engineering and culture.

Biz Tek Today: Hunting in a Farmer's World
I recently attended a seminar presentation entitled "Hunting in a Farmer's World". The premise of the presentation centered on the need for business folks to "hunt" for continued existence. The "hunter" is usually the business owner; the person that when there are no options and the path forward seems impossible, finds the way. He or she "hunts" to find the next opportunity, client, option, etc. This premise intersects with the subject matter of the article below on the single biggest mistake made by CEOs and entrepreneurs. This author offers that most owners find themselves too wrapped up in the day to day to regularly hunt and because they do not regularly hunt they find their businesses stagnating and suffering. Years ago humans were required to regularly hunt for basic survival; likewise, presently business folks need to recognize that hunting is still part of the day to day business needs for company survival.

Those practitioners who are approved to treat up to 275 patients addicted to opioids with suboxone must take heed of the new reporting rule that goes into effect October 27, 2016. The new reporting rule requires doctors who are authorized to treat the higher patient limit of over 100 (but not in excess of 275 patients) with suboxone to submit to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ("SAMHSA") on an annual basis certain information related to being approved to treat the higher number of patients.
A summary of the annual reporting requirements is as follows:
The rule also permits SAMHSA to check reports it receives from the practitioners prescribing under the higher patient limit against other data sources to determine whether discrepancies exist and, if discrepancies are found, the practitioner may be required to submit additional documentation.
Lastly, failure to submit the reports (or deficiencies in the reports submitted) may be deemed a failure to satisfy the requirements for the patient limit increase and may subsequently result in SAMHSA's approval for that practitioner to treat an increased number of patients to be withdrawn.

The XFS file system supports user, group, and project quotas. It is often useful to implement quotas of for a particular user. To do so you will first need to add "usrquota,grpquota" to your xfs entry in the /etc/fstab file.
Then one can set the user quota as follows:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=500m someuser' /somedir/xfsdirectory
This will set a hard block size limit to 500 MegaBytes for someuser on xfs filesystem mounted at /somedir/xfsdirectory.
To get a report on the quotas one can use
xfs_quota -x -c "report"
And to remove a quota from a user, just set their limit to 0:
xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bhard=0 someuser' /somedir/xfsdirectory
XFS on Linux makes it easy to set and manage user quotas.

"He may not be our first kitty," says Trista, "but he IS one of a kind. Originally called Indy, we changed his name to Pickles — Pickles Indiana Mills.
"We were looking for a kitten who would adapt well to our home. Thanks to his wonderful foster mom, Pickles and his littermates grew up around dogs and cats and were well socialized with new people with plenty of hands-on touching. When we visited the kittens, I preferred Irwin, but once we learned about each of their personalities, I knew Pickles was the one for us — laid back yet curious, and always the first to investigate new places.
"Pickles has become a true companion not only to us but to our dog, Lycan. They sleep together, play together and eat together. He's a major cuddle bug and wherever we are, he's there too. If we leave one room and go into another, he just has to follow us in case he misses out on something
"He bonded with us in one day, and by the end of the week he felt comfortable enough to touch noses with Lycan. As for our other cat, Soda, it took a month for her to accept that Pickles wasn't just a guest! Today, he acts like Soda's annoying little brother, one she simply tolerates because she prefers her own space, which is fine with Pickles since he prefers wrestling with the dog. He also likes chasing the laser pointer and playing with toy mice, and while he's not really a great fan of treats, he likes hugging and biting his catnip-stuffed pickle.
"He wakes up when I get ready for work and cuddles with me on the couch during our morning routine. Then I leave for the day and he naps until my husband gets up, and he gets cuddles all over again. In fact, he's such a HUGE cuddle monster that he starts drooling with happiness!
"A true character, when he's pooped from all his playing, he lies spread-eagled on the hardwood floor, and when his belly's full, he passes out on his back, exposing his fluffy belly.
"At night, he sleeps where he wants — on the bed with us, under the blankets, on the couch or next to Lycan. Pickles rules our house and we are so okay with that!"

The Gueydan football players wheel Lindsey Lounsberry to the sideline on Senior High.
An evening to remember for Rob Lounsberry in Gueydan
GUEYDAN - "It was a very overwhelming feeling" says, Lindsey Lounsberry, sister of Gueydan High School senior Rob Lounsberry, known as 'Lil Rob.'
"When Coach Moy contacted us to let us know that the GHS football team and staff wanted to make Rob a part of the team for senior night, we were completely shocked. We kept it a secret for weeks, and when the time came for the pep rally, and he laid the jersey over Rob's shirt, we could no longer hold back the tears. Seeing the team with arms locked, storming the field behind Rob was magical. They didn't shove him to the side or behind them, no instead they let him lead."
Thursday night was a dream come true for Rob Lounsberry, not only was it his senior night, but he led the Gueydan Bears onto the football field.
Stricken from birth with Cerebral Palsy, Rob enjoyed sports from the sidelines cheering for the Gueydan Bears during every sport they played.
Last Thursday it was announced during the afternoon GHS Pep Rally that Rob would finally become a GHS Bear. The GHS coach, football team and coaching staff issued Rob a number 2 football jersey.
During the past years, Rob's cheering has not gone unnoticed. According to GHS senior, Matthew Broussard, "without Rob, we wouldn't have a team with so much inspiration and drive to do better. We truly love 'Lil Rob,' and we are honored to have him on our sidelines every game."
Rob's sister commented, "No one can imagine what this means to my brother but also my family. For us this is not something as simple as him being included for a short while, this is him being included for a lifetime, and this is humility, love, and compassion. Rob might not ever play a down of football, but to him, he is a Gueydan bear for life thanks to these kids and coaches. You can't put a price on that. There is a lot for people to learn from these kids."
A dream come true for a Gueydan High Football player, Rob Lounsberry.

Can simple breathing help you win a negotiation? It seems crazy, but it can. Six Second Breath (inhaling for 6 seconds and exhaling for 6 seconds) is a powerful tool you can use during a difficult negotiation. Trying to score a raise? Want to negotiate terms on a house? Tricky meeting with a client? Most people default to short, shallow breathing. An average inhale is around 2 seconds, and can get shorter under stress and anxiety. If you slow your breathing down during a stressful situation, you will be more centered, more in command of your speech and mind, and better able to access your intuition. You will appear calm and in control. It's that simple!
Try it and let us know in the comments below how Six Second Breath worked for you!

We all need to do our bit to tackle excess weight
A report to Telford and Wrekin Council's Cabinet has issued a stark warning cry to residents, business and partner organisations - we all need to do our bit to tackle excess weight in the borough.
The Public Health Annual Report, which looks at key health issues facing the borough, reveals levels of excess weight in Telford and Wrekin:
• 1 in 4 children aged four or five are overweight or obese
• 1 in 3 children aged 10 or 11 are overweight or obese
• 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese
• 3 in 10 adults are physically inactive
The report, also outlines what the borough needs to do to tackle this key health issue which is leading to reduced life expectancy, high blood pressure, bone and joint problems, and low self-esteem.
Liz Noakes, Statutory Director of Public Health and report author, said: "The scale of the problem is huge, and there is no one cause nor one solution to the issue of excess weight.
"Actions need to be taken at all levels – nationally by government, locally with the Council working with employers, the NHS and partner organisations and by people living in their families and communities. The Council cannot tackle this issue alone - everyone needs to do their bit."
The report echoes the problem nationally of excess weight with around 2 in 3 adults in England now considered to be overweight or obese.
Liz Noakes said: "Technological changes have meant that we are less active. We can shop, stay in touch, and be entertained from our sofa – workplaces are increasingly more sedentary as well.
"Individuals are finding it harder to eat healthily as the availability of calorie rich meals is more widespread, we are also eating out more where portion sizes tend to be larger.
"Excess weight is a problem for the entire country, not just in Telford and Wrekin."
The Public Health Team says it needs to work even more closely with partners on this issue.
Liz Noakes said: "Our communities are a hive of activity, many people run volunteers groups that promote healthy eating and exercise.
"We will be working closely with community groups and volunteers to produce plans to tackle the issue of excess weight.
"Where we work has a significant effect on how we live our lives, so we must work closer with business to create healthier working environments.
"We need to encourage people to make the most of the many and often opportunities to lose weight by making some very simple changes."
Les Pointer from Telford is a good example who features in the report. He lost 7 stone in 21 weeks when he took up walking football, decided to watch what he ate, and asked for support from Healthy Lifestyle Advisor.
Les Pointer, said: "I don't think I did anything special. I didn't follow any diet plans, I was never hungry, I just ate all the right foods, 3 meals a day with no snacking, and exercised 3-4 times a week.
"My energy levels and happiness are now much better. I can walk up the stairs without getting out of breath and can help my wife around the house more. I can be normal and happy."
The Public Health Annual Report is set to be endorsed by Health & Wellbeing Board and Cabinet on the 12 September.
The report summarises the rise and fall of other local health indicators: teenage conceptions rates and early deaths from preventable causes have improved to match the national average, but levels of tooth decay in children have increased to above the national average.
Arnold England, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, said: "We all need to do our bit to tackle excess weight in the borough.
"Making a change in your lifestyle is never easy. Many people's lives are so busy that they just don't have the time to think about their own health.
"Think about the small changes you could make, and what opportunities you have to lose weight.
"For example, we have many green spaces Telford and Wrekin, our award winning town park, the outdoor gyms, excellent leisure centres, and a 50 mile walking trail that connects footpaths and rights of way across the borough green trials and footpaths.
"One You is a great source of information for people who want to lose weight or exercise more. The Active 10, Couch to 5k and Easy Meals apps from One You are also very useful.
"If you just don't know where to start or need a little support get in contact with our Healthy Lifestyles team who provide free encouragement and support to anyone who wants to make a change in their lifestyle."

Jan 05, 2018 - National Geographic Sea Bird
During our first day of exploration in the archipelago of Espiritu Santo, the National Geographic Sea Bird anchored at Ensenada Grande, the most beautiful of the island's coves. A long hike took guests and naturalists to the heights of the eastern escarpment; with the magnificent Sea of Cortez as a background, we took few minutes of silence and meditation on the rim just to connect ourselves with nature. In the afternoon, exploration via kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling allowed guests to discover some of the minute animals hidden on the rocky shores or in the water. A well-deserved dinner on shore, plus wine and beer and brownies, closed a full day of joy, wellness, and learning.

Versuri Bleeding Through - Just Another Pretty Face
Album: Bleeding Through - Dust To Ashes
Infect with all dissolved memories of one.
Why did you care, when you never cared before?
Why'd you care, you never cared.
Why'd you care, you never cared before.
I've become an instrument of your twisted flashbacks.
Still you condemn me for my mistakes.
A curse to your saviors will.
You stare so emotionless, but still I face down.
Your heart dies with every breath of this poison.
I cannot, I will not, I won't forget.
Now I must stand dor who I am.
And every picture that I see is of you and every time you cry.
Because your past can't run away,
you can't run away from this,
you cannot hide.
You can't hide from this, it won't begin.

The other day, Amanda mentioned that it had been twelve years since the convention I met her at in New Orleans. I read her blog that day, but I kept going back to the line about it being twelve years.
Where in the hell does the time go?
By my memory, I have been a Duran Duran fan since 1981. I didn't really get involved in the fan community, until I was an adult. It was 2001 when I stumbled upon duranduran.com, and then later, duranduranfans.com (now defunct). Planning the convention was my first foray into fandom. I'd never done anything like that before, and I still chuckle when I think about how my family reacted towards the idea of my flying across the country to have a convention with people I'd never met before.
I got so involved, so fast. I have a little trouble remembering what I did to occupy my day before being a Duran Duran fan took such a huge role in my life. I do remember though that I was bored. I'm pretty sure my days went from being monopolized by kids, playdates and laundry to all of that plus stolen moments in the afternoon on our upstairs computer, reading and laughing over message board posts…and that was just the beginning.
I have this motto of sorts that I have dutifully recited to my children over the years. No one gets out of childhood unscathed. At this point, I am semi-concerned it will end up on my headstone, but I soldier on. We all have histories and moments from our childhoods that shaped us. In my case, I'm a people-pleaser. I seek approval. I am a rule-follower, and that also means fitting myself into the supposed role that people around me (i.e. my family) have marked as "Rhonda." Let me be clear: Duran Duran fan was nowhere to be found in that description. Blogger? Nah. Convention planner? No way.
So to read that I've been at this full-force fandom thing for twelve years really hit home, particularly since I'm sitting here entering the first full week of my new job. I won't lie, in a lot of ways I feel as though I'm sliding back down the hill I've been trying so hard to climb. Rather than continue to fight the good fight, get a manuscript or four sold, plan some conventions and make this into something – I'm sliding back into the role of "good mom and wife", because it's easier.
And easy it is. It is MUCH easier to stop thinking about going to shows. It is simple to just get a job and spend my extra time earning some money to help pay college expenses rather than write and rewrite a manuscript. It is much easier to stop talking about Duran Duran (although he certainly brings them up on his own) in front of my husband. It is easy to tell him I'd rather travel with him than see my friends. And he wants to hear all of those things, no doubt.
But will I really be happier?
Here's the thing: I've spent my entire life doing what was expected of me. There are many, many times I can point out where I did what my parents expected rather than what I might have really wanted purely because I needed their approval. I had to have it, no matter what. Even as an adult, I have often done what was expected rather than take the more arduous route purely because it was easier. I took the easy ways instead of fighting because I didn't want people mad at me, and I can see and feel myself doing that now. It is frustrating, and I think a lot of people reading will probably be able to relate, whether you're a mom, single, childless, female or male.
I suppose that for me, the trick is whether I'm willing to find the sweet spot where I can do the things I want to do and still be a responsible adult, wife, and mom. Even just trying to find that balance is going to cause strife because no matter what I do, someone is always mad unless I do what everyone else wants. I just don't know if I can fall back into that role and feel satisfied…and I don't even know if I want to try.
Funny thing, Dom retweeted this picture from @Barneydrums this morning. It's pretty appropriate, except I think my version would have "buy concert tickets" as the other option.
So, that's a quick glimpse into what has been occupying my thoughts lately. I'm about to run off to work now, so I will shut all of that of which honestly is a bit of a relief. Sometimes it's easier to put one foot in front of the other and just go.

Citation: E-mail use model appears to follow "Clash of Civilizations" prediction (2013, March 8) retrieved 18 August 2019 from https://phys.org/news/2013-03-e-mail-clash-civilizations.html (Phys.org) —Researchers at Stanford University have built a model based on the frequency of e-mail interactions between groups of users of Yahoo! e-mail throughout the world. In studying their results, they have found, as they report in their paper they've uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, it appears to adhere to societal boundaries as described by Samuel Huntington's 1992 book "The Clash of Civilizations." The Mesh of Civilizations. Source: Yahoo! email dataset. Rescaled densities. Only top 1,000 densities displayed. Credit: arxiv.org/abs/1303.0045 Journal information: arXiv Yahoo tries to entice users with e-mail facelift More information: The Mesh of Civilizations and International Email Flows, arXiv:1303.0045 [cs.SI] arxiv.org/abs/1303.0045AbstractIn The Clash of Civilizations, Samuel Huntington argued that the primary axis of global conflict was no longer ideological or economic but cultural and religious, and that this division would characterize the "battle lines of the future." In contrast to the "top down" approach in previous research focused on the relations among nation states, we focused on the flows of interpersonal communication as a bottom-up view of international alignments. To that end, we mapped the locations of the world's countries in global email networks to see if we could detect cultural fault lines. Using IP-geolocation on a worldwide anonymized dataset obtained from a large Internet company, we constructed a global email network. In computing email flows we employ a novel rescaling procedure to account for differences due to uneven adoption of a particular Internet service across the world. Our analysis shows that email flows are consistent with Huntington's thesis. In addition to location in Huntington's "civilizations," our results also attest to the importance of both cultural and economic factors in the patterning of inter-country communication ties.via Arxiv Blog This document is subject to copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study or research, no part may be reproduced without the written permission. The content is provided for information purposes only. © 2013 Phys.org Huntington famously suggested in his book that future wars would revolve around cultural and religious differences and even offered a list of groups of people in them: Sinic, Hindu, Islamic, Latin American, Western, Orthodox, African and Buddhist.The researchers at Stanford, led by Bogdan State, didn't set out to create a model that would reflect Huntington's vision, but instead found it came about on its own after the data was compiled and graphed. Their model is based on over ten million e-mail messages sent from Yahoo! users the world over. To show the degree of interaction between groups, the team used nodes and lines between them—the more transactions between groups, the closer they appear together on the model. They also carefully note that only Yahoo! users that agreed to have their data used in the study were included. To form geographic areas, the team compared IP numbers attached to messages with the location noted in a user's profile, using only those that coincided.The resulting color-coded graphic model offers near instant visual clues regarding groups bound together by culture and perhaps religion. Perhaps more importantly it also shows boundaries, which State and his team claim, resemble the model first proposed by Huntington. Western nodes are clustered to form a single group with just a few outliers, for example, as are others such as those deemed Islamic, or South American.The model doesn't hint at tensions between groups of course, but does seem to indicate that groups tend to communicate more via e-mail with others in their same group than they do with others from other groups, even if they share a physical border. Other patterns that show up indicate what would seem natural—that people who speak the same language tend to send more e-mails to each other than to people who don't. People in Great Britain for example, appear to send more e-mails to people in Australia than to people in other, much closer, European countries. Explore further

Pro-State trolls are always eager to place the blame for economic problems somewhere other than the State.
Bernard Madoff ran a corrupt hedge fund. He's an isolated instance of severe corruption.
We need $700B to bail out the financial industry.
The US financial industry is sound. There is no need to panic.
Who would have guessed that the housing bubble would collapse like that?
Enron and Worldcom were one big fraud. Sarbanes-Oxley will prevent a massive fraud from happening again.
Who would have guessed that the stock market .com bubble would collapse like that?
Long Term Capital Management nearly wrecked the financial system. We won't let that happen again!
Who could have predicted the stock market crash in 1987? We changed the rules regarding program trading, and there never should be a severe crash again.
The '80s S&L crisis was solved by the invention of the Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO). We will never again have a serious problem with banks and mortgages.
We need $160B to bail out banks after the S&L crisis.
I would extend this further back, but you should be able to see the pattern by now.
