Puyo Puyo Tetris now available in the Americas
I think a lot of gamers out there will agree with me when I say that even in a world of complex plot, hyper-realistic graphics and a desire to do something different every time, it's simplicity that often still wins the day.
In concept, you aren't going to get a great deal more simple and indeed addictive that a certain puzzling classic that has been loved by all ages now for decades. The title of which I speak is probably known by virtually every gamer out there that hasn't been living under a rock. The title of which I speak is quite obviously a very well loved puzzler called Tetris. While I'm thinking about it, if we swap out falling blocks for colourful bubbles, Puyo Puyo needs to be counted as equally as memorable.
To bring these two classics back into the lime light, Puyo Puyo Tetris has been released in the Americas for PS4 and the Nintendo Switch and will be available in Europe from tomorrow and the 28th of April for digital and physical versions, respectively. Us PS4 nuts will only be able to get physical copies of the game, but for you Nintendo Switch fans out there, both versions will be available, and in addition you will be able to get yourself a special edition Nintendo Switch launch version that will include Puyo Puyo and Tetris themed keychains. This special edition is available in the Americas and limited to pre-orders and first-run printings of the game and as they're going to be going fast, you'll want to get your hands on it as soon as possible.
So what can you expect from this two game mash-up release, then? Well, you're going to be getting fun, fast paced, competitive action for up to four players from the Puyo Puyo and Tetris worlds that we all know and love along with a variety of new modes. Amongst the play styles on offer are Swap Mode which allows you to switch between Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards, Big Bang mode for those wanting to race against the competition and for those of you who want power ups to spice up competitive play, Party mode. These are just three of a bunch of different options to play with and on top of all of this there is also a Puzzle League system featuring rankings, ratings and more.
This is all very multi-player geared and this certainly seems to be a title great for any party. Puyo Puyo Tetris can be enjoyed just as much by solo players who can play any of the multi-player modes against the CPU but also enjoy single-player challenges in Solo Arcade. There is also Adventure which offers ten acts each with ten stages featuring characters from the Puyo Puyo and Tetris universes. With this being said there really does appear to be something to tickle anyone's fancy.
For fans of the original games and people who generally just want something fun to do with friends, this is definitely a title worth watching. It's always nice when the old gems get a polish and are brought back to us ready to test old fans and new players alike. If you're wanting to get your puzzle on then this may well be an excellent way to go.

The Annual General Meeting of the Ontario Chapter of the MTFCI was held April 15/16, 2011 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Vaughan, Ontario hosted by Gord & Anne Morton. The format was very casual with folks either partaking of the whole weekend of fellowship or only attending the always important AGM. The response was very good and I know everyone enjoyed the time together.
These pictures were taken at the 2010 CanAm tour - an annual tour enjoyed by both the Ontario Region club and the Casual T's club of Michigan. The clubs take turns hosting this tour. In 2010 it was hosted by the Ontario Region in the Guelph area. The photos were provided by Steve Shotwell of the Casual T's.
October brought twenty cars from the Model T and Heritage 35 Clubs together to the home of Bert & Mary Vanderwal near Ilderton. Saturday took us to an amazing quilt store, then an interesting antique store. We toured on and stopped in Strathroy at a Farmers Market where we bought our Christmas tree in a pot and some locally grown veggies.
These are a few photos from Bakers' Lockport area tour in 2008, some featuring our visit to the shoe tree.
September's Model T Tour brought us to Coboconk. We took a leisurely drive there on the Friday afternoon stopping at some nice bakeries in little towns on the way including some awesome pastries as a supper stop. We didn't realize that Coboconk is a summer cottager's hideaway at the lake. It's the highest point of navigable fresh waters in the world on the Trent Severn waterway so lots of locks are in the area.
These are a few car pics from various tours used during site testing, and left for your enjoyment. Some are from a club visit to PEI. Others are from various tours in Ontario.
We were happy to arrive at the Durham Conservation Area Campground about 5:30 p.m. Durham is south of Owen Sound, and a campfire in the evening gave everyone a chance to get reacquainted with old friends & make some new ones. It was nice to have Len and Marilyn Rolls out on their first tour. Our first stop on Saturday was a huge home building centre with the wood worker in mind. If you need tooling for any type of wood working that is the place to go, so all the men were in heaven.
This is just a sample gallery with some restoration photos of a '26 Touring car. The photos are not from a club tour, but you could still find them interesting.

The Edmonton Oilers didn't win the NHL Draft Lottery this year which still surprises me even after the actual draft, but they still got a big win on the first day of this year's selections.
Toronto and Winnipeg stuck to the script by taking Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine with the first two picks, then the Columbus Blue Jackets stepped up to the podium, and with all cameras pointed on Jesse Puljujärvi's face, the Blue Jackets announced a different name, Pierre-Luc Dubois' name to be exact.
Dubois is a high end prospect and at centre (despite only playing half a year at the position) he does address a need, but Puljujärvi was meant to round out a locked in top three, but instead, the Edmonton Oilers get lucky and quickly picked up the Finnish teenager who was named MVP of the 2016 World Juniors.
Now, to me he should've gone third, maybe it's the Finnish connection between him and Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen that made me think that there was no way they pass up on one of the two elite Finns in the draft, but they took Dubois and now Puljujärvi will hope to be the final piece to the puzzle to complete Edmonton's never ending rebuild.
While he is coming back from a knee injury, he told reporters at the draft he expects to be in the NHL next year and I don't blame him. He's made 71 appearances in the Finnish elite league already at the age of 18, and yes that league isn't at the same level as the NHL, he'll be coming into the Oilers prospect pool with experiences that others don't have, playing against men.
Puljujärvi has the advantage to crack the Oilers opening night roster.Embed from Getty Images
In 2014-15 he made 21 appearances for Karpat Oulu registering 11 points, then this past season he played a full year in the SM-Liiga with 28 points in 50 games for Karpat, good enough for sixth most on the team which was led by Carolina Hurricanes prospect Sebastian Aho with 45 points.
Puljujärvi has been on the radar since he cracked the Finnish line up for last-years World Juniors, but this year he really made his name relevant. On a line with Aho and Patrik Laine, they all dominated on Finland's way to their second gold medal in three years. In just 7 games in the tournament, he had 17 points which is one of the best performances in recent memory. Only one player has done better since 2010 and that was Brayden Schenn for Team Canada as he put up 18 points.Embed from Getty Images
Between the three line mates, they put up a combined 44 points in 7 games, which shows why all three are high end prospects (and also makes you think Aho was a steal with the 35th pick in 2015). This year Puljujärvi really showed his dominance, his statistics talk for themselves. He dominates at the junior level (he also won an under 18 gold medal this year) and he's steady against men.
If he makes the NHL this October, he's not going to wow you straight away and probably won't be in consideration for the Calder Memorial Trophy, what he will do is show his elite potential as a big bruising winger who plays a two-hundred-foot game.
His compatriot Laine is known for his shooting and goal scoring, Puljujärvi is a dominant playmaking winger who could end up being a big star playing alongside a centre like Connor McDavid. There was talk on the TV coverage I saw of the draft comparing Gretzky and Kurri to McDavid and Puljujärvi, while I don't think they'll be that good together, there's no reason why he and McDavid can't link up and dominant on a line together.
Puljujärvi isn't going to come in as a top-six winger right away, he'll probably sit on the third line for a year and maybe get some penalty killing time because he's pretty good in his own end and then the Oilers can see how much he's grown and maybe mix him into the top-six next year. The Oilers cannot rush this prospect because they can't afford to have another Nail Yakupov on their hands. I'm a big fan of Yakupov but I think his time in Edmonton is done. He's not a horrible player, but as a first overall pick he's a bust.
Edmonton need to make smart decisions when free agency opens, a few of their guys need to be traded (like Yakupov) but if they can build a genuine team and get a genuine starting goaltender or at least somebody who can share the workload with Cam Talbot, the Oilers should start climbing the rankings again.
For me I think Puljujärvi makes the team next year and maybe plays alongside a guy like Leon Draisaitl and has a solid 30+ point rookie campaign, the value in him is there already to be an impact player straight away, his value in being a game winner is a few years away but there's no reason why the Oilers can't get him on the right track as soon as possible.
Puljujärvi (I know I have said his name a lot but that's about to stop) was just one of the Oilers nine picks this year with two other Finns, one of which I'll come to in a second.Embed from Getty Images
With the 32nd pick they picked up Tyler Benson of the WHL's Vancouver Giants, he was always going to be on the fringes of the first round but he's a solid pick up. A native of Edmonton, Benson had a strong rookie year for Vancouver with 45 points in 62 games and had it not been injuries and surgery this year he would've easily beaten those numbers comfortably. He made 30 appearances with 28 points in a year that saw him undergo surgery to remove a cyst in his spine and also have an inflamed pubic bone which kept him out of the line-up. His draft stock plummeted as a result but when healthy this kid will be a solid and legitimate NHLer for years to come.
The third round is where the Oilers impressed me. Personally I think this kid should've been selected higher but in round three Edmonton got another Finn in Markus Niemeläinen. At 6'6" and 205lbs this guy is a beast of a blueliner who plays a very strong two-way game. The good thing about him is while he did play in the OHL last year he was actually on loan from Finnish side HIFK so the Oilers could send him to the AHL next year if they wanted to in a similar situation with Buffalo Sabres eighth overall pick Alex Nylander who played for Mississauga last year but was on loan from Sweden.
Niemeläinen might not be an NHL ready talent but I think he's going to take a year or two at most to refine his skills and crack the Oilers lineup and slowly work his way into a top-four role and hopefully help a team that has been abysmal defensively for I don't even know how long now.
Edmonton had two more third round picks where they took two more defensemen in Matthew Cairns and Filip Berglund who look okay, they might not be household names if they do make the Oilers but definitely will be solid in the AHL eventually.
In round five they took a goalie in Dylan Wells and left wing Graham McPhee then closed out the draft with Finnish centre Aapeli Räsänen in round six and defenseman Vincent Desharnais in round 7. All in all, it was a good draft for the Oilers, but obviously Puljujärvi is the stand out and the lucky pick for Edmonton. I'm not saying that Columbus will regret taking Dubois, but I think if they stuck to the script they'd be better off in the immediate future.
Now the Oilers just have to make sure they don't mess it all up in the rest of the off-season.

Toronto assistant Nick Nurse is reportedly set to become the Raptors' new coach.
The Toronto Raptors didn't have to look far to name their next coach. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Raptors are hiring current Raptors assistant Nick Nurse as their new coach.
Wojnarowski reports via Twitter that Nurse has agreed to a three-year deal to take over the reins in Toronto. The team has scheduled a news conference for Thursday afternoon (2:30 ET) at Air Canada http://www.authenticcincinnatiredsshops.com/Dave-Concepcion-Jersey Centre to officially announce Nurse's hiring.
As of Monday night, Nurse was one of the favorites for the job — along with San Alex Lewis Jersey Antonio Spurs assistant coach Ettore Messina. Additionally, the Raptors interviewed Sarunas Jasikevicius for the job last week, per ESPN.
While the Raptors weighed their coaching candidates, every NBA team that had a coaching position to fill — the http://www.ravenshopfootballofficial.com/ALEX-LEWIS-JERSEY-CHEAP.html Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks — has since found a new coach.
Make it about the basketball. Make it all about the basketball. Keep owner Jeanie Buss involved; she's the basketball history. Make coach Luke Walton part of the pitch; he's the basketball present.
Sometimes it seems like the entire Lakers offseason strategy is the staging of the Magic and Pelinka Show, and in a room with sophisticated Authentic Dave Concepcion Jersey free agents and their reps, that's not going to be enough.
What are the next steps for the Lakers this offseason?
The Lakers may not be the only team in the mix as the LA Clippers may pursue him too, reports Wojnarowski (via Twitter):
Sources: So far, Leonard has expressed nothing directly to Spurs about future. Lakers and Clippers interest Leonard — and both teams would move quickly to assemble packages to acquire Leonard. Spurs won't rush. Leonard and his camp had shown interest in $219M super max deal.

edit: Fixed! I disabled vsync from Nvidia control panel and it works like a charm now.
When I host a listenserver (I'm playing on my own server) in any HL mod, all of my controls start to lag: when I turn my mouse, it happens after a small delay (less than a second but still annoying as hell), same happens with moving, jumping etc. Sometimes my aiming stops moving at all until I move my mouse to another direction.
edit: I tried joining a server other than my own and got the same problems. Seems to have something to do with whole HL.
I don't have this problem when I play on other servers or in any other game. It started happening maybe a year ago or something, before that I could play on my listenserver just as smoothly as on other servers.
I've replaced my video card during this time and the problem is the same with both cards, so it's very unlikely that it is my hardware. My guess is that Valve has changed the HL engine somehow again, but you never know...
Does anyone else have this problem or any ideas how to fix it?
edit: When I run the game in windowed mode, the problem disappears but my fps gets crappy.
edit edit: umm and now it's stable 100 after alt-tabbing a couple of times
So yeah... I can now play with windowed mode without problems. Would still be good to know if it can be fixed for fullscreen.

Just wanted to give you some quick stats concerning West Laurel, MD subdivision.
In comparing the last half of this year with the last half of last year in West Laurel, we have some interesting findings. Home prices decreased from just about $412,000 down to $385,000. That is an 18.5% drop in property prices.
Bank foreclosures and short sales are affecting property values in West Laurel Maryland. It use to be that distress sales were the exception and not used for comparables. However, now distress sales are much more prominent. Foreclosures and short sales in West Laurel are now used as comparables for home sales.

Lately I've been spending a lot of time on Twitter sharing my experiences with affiliate marketing, SEO and building Amazon niche websites.
Listening to the feedback, it's clear that very few actually understand what niche websites are and why I value them so much, as opposed to more generic, broad-market websites.
This guide will show you how to build an Amazon niche website. Why Amazon? Because (if you haven't realised already), Amazon has an incredibly vast product range that you can leverage to build your affiliate marketing business.
Whenever I am researching a new niche website, Amazon.com is my go-to source to confirm the idea and to see if there are products that would be profitable for me to sell.
This guide will show you what I mean with that and how I do it, but first…
What Is An Amazon Niche Site?
Building an Amazon niche website means building your own website where you promote different specific products from the Amazon marketplace.
One niche-site I've been building this past couple of months (and already earning from) is a simple website doing reviews of portable air conditioners.
Sounds weird right? Well, yes it is but that is what makes "niche websites" so incredibly valuable – the lack of competition.
Keep this in mind for the remainder of this post: "the riches are in the niches".
How To Build An Amazon Niche Website
Ok, let's get into the meat of this guide and start talking about how to actually get started with an Amazon niche website.
It starts with…
Picking Your Niche
Amazon niche sites are sites created with the sole purpose of selling Amazon products by providing information on a topic with a clear product attached to it.
But how do you know which niche you should be in? Ask yourself these 4 questions:
#1: What do you like?
#2: What are you currently learning about?
#3: What topic do you know more about than the average person?
and finally…
#4: Is there a product that can be tied to this niche?
Any topic that comes to mind by answering the first 3 questions + a "yes" for the fourth one is the perfect niche for you.
Let's say, you're currently building a garden shed for your home.
A website discussing the different types of garden sheds, what you need, what permits are required, etc etc is what you now need to create.
Alternatively, if you want to do this on "scale' and build up multiple Amazon niche sites, you can also hire content writers to write the articles for you.
This would allow you to target niches that you may not necessarily be interested in but would be profitable.
If you are still a beginner at this and you're building your very first niche website, then I would seriously encourage you to do all the work yourself first.
Before you start looking into outsourcing your work, it's always best to first learn yourself how things need to be done. If you don't know what you are looking for in a content writer, finding and hiring one will hinder you more than it would help.
Some examples Amazon niche sites you can build:
– Smart Home Appliances
– Ice makers
– Baby Monitors
– Lawn Mower Reviews
– Outdoor Heating
These are just examples I came up with while literally writing this post but I can tell you already that these products would not be cheap (you always want to go for $100+) and also, it's highly likely people will be looking for information about online.
Now while I believe every niche can make money, there are some which would be harder than others…
Bad examples of Amazon niche websites (& why):
– Books
– Keychains
– Smartphone covers
– Kitchen novelty items
While these sure sell well online, especially with the drop shipping route, these are not things that people would be looking for information on before they buy.
Also, they are not that expensive meaning even if you do manage to get an audience for them, you won't be earning much.
You are in the business of information (not products) so always look for items people are likely to look for information about online before they buy.
Building Your Amazon Niche Website
Of course, you are going to need a website. I'm sure you figured that out by now.
Next, you are going to need a domain name and hosting.
I get free hosting through my membership in Wealthy Affiliate, but you can get a hosting package from BlueHost for about $5 a month I believe.
Don't get too fancy with your website. Use WordPress (always), and install a clean, simple looking theme.
Black text on white background and a sidebar is all you really need. Don't add too many bells and whistles to your site, at least not when starting out.
You are going to want to keep the site as clean looking as it can be as any fancy stuff happening will take away the attention off the content, which is where you want your user focused.
How To Get Traffic To An Amazon Niche Site
Once you have your niche website set up and ready to go, you are going to need to get traffic to it.
Taking the time to learn and then building out a website will all be in vain if you do not learn how to drive targetted traffic to your content.
Note the emphasis on "targetted"
With a niche site like I have (portable air conditioners reviews), I can safely assume that nobody is looking at portable air conditioners reviews just for fun.
I may not convert all of them into buying, but I'll bet my last dollar that whoever is reading is seriously considering buying one.
That is where SEO comes into play as with a bit of assistance from my favourite keyword tool, I can immediately figure out what information people are looking.
The tool I am talking about is AnswerThePublic.com.
This site is a goldmine and a well-guarded secret by many doing Amazon niche websites as it works best the less people use it (and take ideas from it).
Here's how it works…
By simply entering the niche I am considering, it gives me all that I need to know as to what people are "asking" on Google:
Note that there's no "competition metrics" or "keyword search volume" (monthly traffic), but I really don't care about that and you shouldn't either.
Your job now, (the hard part), is to write content (or hire a writer) to answer some of the questions the tool suggests.
This is how you will get traffic.
The posts you will write will give you the fuel you need to move towards the second part of the process, and that is creating reviews and comparison posts.
How To Sell Amazon Products
I use two type of review posts to help me make money, and they are:
Product reviews:
You need to spend time reviewing the products you will be promoting.
Do you have to buy them? Not really, no affiliate marketer is buying up every portable AC on Amazon and doing reviews on them first hand.
I'll leave it up to you to decide how you can provide detailed reviews of the products you want to promote, but whatever you do, make sure you have them there.
How to use reviews to make money:
Let's say you have a post explaining "the quietest portable air conditioners on the market".
In that post, you will be mentioning different models and that is where having a review of each of those models would come in handy.
When talking about high ticket items, I recommend you link to your review instead of directly to Amazon as people that are going to spend $600 on an AC might require some further convincing first.
The other way you can monetize is by doing product comparisons.
Comparison reviews:
"Portable AC X vs Portable AC Y: Which Is More Eco-Friendly?"
Anybody reading that post has surely done their research already. They know which one they like and they have probably made their decision.
Your job now is to confirm to them that they are making the right choice and that their hard-earned money would be spent well.
How To Convince Readers To Buy
Now that you have a steady audience ready to pull out their credit cards, you need to figure out how to get them make that final decision to purchase and earn your commissions.
It would be advisable to start learning about sales here.
I have recently discovered this whole phenomenon and I have been including tips I learned in my reviews with great results.
One way I found that seems to be working well is addressing all the reasons a person may not want to buy.
With my portable AC website, I try to answer everything in my reviews:
- How long does it take to ship?
- How to contact support?
- How to set it up?
- Does it require installation?
- How much power does it use?
- How much would it cost to run?
- and every other thing I can think of.
As we said, the person reading your content is with his card in hands ready to make the purchase, don't lose them because they go someplace else to look for that one answer.
(Quick Tip On Using Affiliate Links)
This is not a must, but I am going to tell you how I do it:
Before I start seeing at least 50 to 100 visitors a day, I will not use any Amazon affiliate links whatsoever.
This is my own superstition but I don't like littering my site with too many affiliate links as I don't want to make it too obvious that it's an affiliate site.
I want Google to see me as a source of information, not an affiliate page so I often yes, miss out on potential earnings, but considering it may help me rank higher and quicker, it's a risk I am willing to take.
How Much Money Can You Make With A Niche Website?
This is a tough question to ask and honestly, any answer that I will give you would be an assumption based on absolutely nothing.
I don't know what niche you will pick, I don't know how much the products are and I don't know how well you'll be able to execute the content strategies mentioned above.
However, just for the sake of it, let's just take an example of what I think you can expect from 500 people a day visiting your website:
With a conversion rate of 1% – which is low (more like 2-3% on average) you are looking at 5 sales a day.
A $100 product (which is the minimum you should go for when starting a niche site) with a 6% commission rate from Amazon will net you $6 per purchase.
500 people, $100 product, 1%, conversion rate, $6 off each sale, $30 a day, $900 dollars a month.
Again, basic example but probably the closest estimation to the minimum you can expect.
A $900 per month income, (at its most conservative estimation) is a very realistic number to hit with an Amazon niche website.
Tweak at it some more for conversions, get more traffic, learn better sales techniques and that $900 per month site can easily become a $2,000 per month site.
How Long Before You Start Making Money?
The above process may sound a bit complicated and complex, but what you are looking at is around 1 month worth of work to set up the complete site.
Around the 6 month line, you will start seeing some big spikes in traffic and you will start making money, but your "work" with the site would have been completed a long time ago.
The question here is:
Are you willing to do 30-days worth of work, wait 6 months, then earn a passive income for many more months to come?
How To Start With The Amazon Associate Program
To get Amazon to credit you for the sales you send them, you are going to need to join their Amazon Associates program.
As previously advised, I wouldn't recommend you join before you have a site up and tunning, but rather when you are ready to start monetizing.
They are going to review your site as well so it's best if you have an established site up and ready that shows you can be trusted.
Once you are ready to become an Amazon associate, you can join them here.
How To Make An Amazon Niche Website Successful
While I can guarantee that the above process works, I can not guarantee that you will be successful with your niche sites. There are just too many variables for me to give that guarantee.
However, I can share with you a few parting tips in order to help you achieve your mission:
Pick A Niche That Makes Money
As I said, you should only promote products that are at the very least $100 each. The Amazon commission rate is not high – typical in the physical goods industry – so anything under $100 won't be worth going after.
You might still earn money, but why would you go that route if there are literally millions of products on there that can earn you a bigger paycheck?
Remeber; selling a $1000 product is harder than selling a $10 product, but it's not 100X harder.
Give It Its Due Time
Niche sites can get you ranked, indexed and receiving customers faster than building an authority website can, but when I say fast, I do mean months not minutes.
As a general rule, I do not expect to see any results worth getting excited with my niche sites till it's at least 6 months in.
However, as explained above, once you set it up right, it would not take much work to keep it running after the initial set up.
All that is really required once you've established your audience and site content is to just keep dripping content on there twice a month or so.
At that level, you can afford to pay a content writer for the job and you just collect commissions.
Learn Sales To Better Convert Your Traffic
As I mentioned, I'm currently learning this myself and I am currently going into my top posts and testing a few different sales strategies in order to convert more of my traffic.
Learn about sales and what makes a reader buy. Your job is to simply convince the reader they are making the right choice (since they're already looking to buy).
Just learning that could mean making money in a month vs making money in a year. Powerful stuff.
Start Learning About Niche Websites
Niche sites sound complicated?
I know that if you've just stumbled on this as a complete beginner, it can seem complicated and way too much work, but it doesn't have to be.
There are things I had to leave out of this guide to avoid keeping you here for too long.
What you need, is a roadmap. A detailed guide (ideally with video) on how to go do all I've just explained in 10 days or less.
Since you made it this far, I'm going to assume that you are serious about learning niche affiliate marketing and about building your Amazon niche website.
If I'm right about you, then I would like to personally invite you to join this free training course and get a proper training structure and guide to work with and follow.
While I can not promise you easy riches with this course, I do believe you it will give you the best chance at mastering affiliate marketing and the freedom it brings.
I'm inside ready to welcome you. just follow this link for instant access (just fill out your email) and you'll be hearing from me soon.
Let's make it happen.

Kayli Hertel – Features Editor
For sophomore Amber Cunha, there are not enough hours in a day. Like many students, Cunha is just another member of the circus life called college. She walks on a thin tightrope juggling classwork, friends, family, work, and everyday stressors.
Between being a criminal justice and legal studies double major while working two jobs, dealing with the burden of finances is just another part of Cunha's to-do list.
"I have worked since I was 14 and can save (when I put my mind to it). I also took a personal finance class in high school so I know how to balance a checkbook, and choose a credit card," said Cunha.
But for many others, finances do not come easily and are a pressure point.
"Money Matters on Campus" a report that surveyed 40,000 first-year college students from across the nation on finances, reported several interesting findings. According to their website, http://www.moneymattersoncampus.org, they found that the attitude of students towards finance is a very conflicted one:
•79.2 percent of those surveyed worry about debt
•40.5 percent of those surveyed "at least moderately agree" with the statement: "Students have to go into debt"
•60.2 percent of those surveyed "at least moderately agree" with the statement: "I like to own things to that impress people"
A significant number of those surveyed worry about debt, but a significant number indicated that spending habits are reliant on the thoughts of other people.
Brittany Baker the Student Financial Planning Coordinator at Lasell believes that the question of financial literacy is not clear-cut by any means.
"I think that students understand the importance of financial aid and being financially stable. But I do think some students still struggle with the basics like budgeting and understanding how different financial choices can impact their future," said Baker.
SALT is a program on campus to help with student's finances. SALT has a dual purpose. SALT's first purpose is seen through the My Money 101 series on the website, which acts as an introduction to finance course complete with different topics including how to budget and choose credit cards. The second purpose is to assist in debt management, which is seen through the money coach portion of the website.
"Our office felt that students needed a tool to help them understand not only how to apply for financial aid and loans but also be able to understand everything else that comes along with being responsible for your own finances," said Baker, the school's representative of the program.
Baker sends all the emails regarding SALT and hosts the FYS and individualized sessions throughout the year. For many students, Cunha added, the program goes unused. Many, like Grace Derby, think the program is a scam.
"I've heard of it [SALT], but the emails that they were sending me seemed too much like spam and since I really never saw a Lasell College email endorsing it I more or less ignored it," Derby said of emails SALT has sent.
Due to miscommunication, students miss out on all of the options SALT has to offer including how to finance a car, interview for a job, and use databases for jobs and scholarships. There are also professionals who are able to answer any questions by students for free.
For Hillary Brown a first year student in the fashion-merchandising program SALT acted as a debt management assistant. "I used [SALT] to look at how much I should be paying a month to pay off my loan, but I get the feel that aspect is more for when you are out of college and actually making loan payments," she said.
Seniors and freshmen alike can benefit from taking the time to become financially literate through the program. But what about commuters and transfer students?
Student Alisa Sweet transferred to Lasell and now commutes from Maine. Sweet says she receives more money from the Financial Aid Office because she is a commuter but explains all the aspects involved in commuting.
"As a commuter, finances can and often are worse. You have to work to pay for rent, gas, food, other monthly bills, your car (because it is affected depending on your commute distance), parking and tolls," said Sweet.
According to Michele Kosboth the Director of Student Financial Planning, there are several first generation college students who need to be savvy regarding finances.
"46 percent of our students are considered first generation college students, meaning their parents have no college level education. That tends to lead to less experience with the college process as a whole, and less experience specifically with financing a college education," said Kosboth.
Sophomore Samantha Ramos is a member of that 46 percent. "I have truly learned how to be independent and be responsible when it comes to finances and spending money versus saving money." So how can students become more financially literate?
According to Kosboth, paying attention to what's going on financially makes all the difference. "The sooner students start taking ownership of [finances] and really start say 'Hey, I want my life to be like this' and working toward that goal, the better off they are going to be," she said.

Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Centenary Suite
£50 (£40 concessions)
TV/film producer: Claire Ingham
Online Drama writer: (COUGH!) Neil Mossey
Screen & Games writer: Graham Joyce
From the traditionally structured TV and film stories that attempt to appeal to wide audiences (which ITV controller Peter Fincham termed '3G' – three generations watching together), to the 3D structures of games and online drama, this day-long course looks at new opportunities offered to writers by the rise of digital technologies.
Suitable for writers, film-makers and drama practitioners interested in looking at new ways of telling stories across screens of all sizes.
Graham Joyce is the author of fourteen novels and has won numerous awards for his writing, including five British Fantasy Awards and the 2003 World Fantasy Award. He has also written screenplays of his novels and has recently been hired by the creators of Doom 4 to help develop the storyline potential of the computer game.
Neil Mossey worked solely in television and radio before writing on Season 2 of the daily interactive web drama KateModern (storylining over 26 weeks, and scripting 74 webisodes). The series ended in July 2008 clocking up 66 million video views, the largest UK online production to date. As a comedy producer at the BBC he was responsible for developing new formats and drama in the Comedy Entertainment department with writers and performers.
Claire Ingham is a producer and film and television script developer. She works on projects at all stages of development - currently ranging from the adaptation treatment of Eoin Colfer's bestselling novel The Wishlist to the final draft of Helen Cross' original feature Stratford Road. Claire has previously worked for a number of film and television companies in development roles. She was Head of Drama Development at Impossible Pictures for four years where she headed a small team, commissioning and developing a range of TV and film projects for all the major broadcasters, including Jed Mercurio's contemporary retelling of Frankenstein and Michael Chaplin's family film Pickles.
*Concessionary rate also available to early bird bookings received BEFORE Friday 30th October.

by: Dawn Fisher (Financial Crime Compliance Course Director) on
Thu Nov 20, 2014
One of the things that I am really proud of, working as a Course Director for ICT, is the consistently high numbers of students that achieve a professional qualification through one of our courses. However, I do sometimes speak with students who have been unsuccessful in achieving a passing grade, and today is no exception - I have just been given details of students to reach out and offer further support to.
It seems like an appropriate time, therefore, to offer some words of advice and encouragement to students who are about to sit their exams, and to those who are new to their course and are looking to start developing good habits well in advance of their exam.I am speaking predominantly in relation to the Diploma courses – but in terms of good habits, Advanced Certificate students please take note!
TimingThe most common reason that students do not pass their exam is that they have not answered the four questions required. At Diploma level this is almost fatal. The main reason given is that they ran out of time, so please let me reiterate what I tell my students during workshops – you MUST prepare for the exam and the earlier you start doing that the better.
Timing is everything and yours will roughly be:
35 minutes to answer a question? That all sounds very tight - so how can you avoid running out of time?
Revision TipsConsolidate your notes – the exam is open book but do not let that discourage you from revising. You will not have time to search through books for the answers. Every minute spent searching for an answer is a minute less spent writing it down. Your notes should serve as an aide memoire to trigger an avalanche of knowledge rather than as a reference library because you have not revised. Start this consolidation early if you are new to ICT and get your eye on the prize straight away.Self-assessment questions (SAQs) - you should be prepared to answer an exam question on any of the topics taught and the SAQs found at the end of each unit are there to help you benchmark your knowledge of each subject area. They are not marked and do not count towards your final grade – which is perhaps why they are overlooked as a learning tool, but they are there for your benefit and are a very effective way to kick off your revision. Ideally you should be attempting these as you work through the course materials.TopicsThere have been comments in workshops that some students have found certain topics boring as they are not directly relevant to their job. I would suggest that these students were entirely missing the point and my advice is don't avoid studying/revising the areas you are weaker in or find a little less interesting. It may be comforting to go back to topic areas you know more about and reaffirm your knowledge but this is a false comfort – you have to answer four questions so you should revise all of the areas covered in the course material, as any one of them could come up in the exam. Less time spent trying to figure out if you know enough to answer a question is more time spent answering it.I have also seen comments that time has been spent in workshops responding to questions about related topics that were not specifically on the agenda for the day and that this was therefore irrelevant. To anyone who has thought this and to pre-empt any notions that workshops will stick rigidly to only that information provided in the course materials, I would say again that this misses the point. Part of your notes preparation should include relevant examples for the different subject areas and students should be prepared to talk around the subject as appropriate – which may include using titbits of information picked up at workshops. To really impress the examiners you will need to show evidence of wider reading. Regurgitating the course materials may get you a basic pass but why settle for that? You will have spent the best part of a year on this, so aim high. Preparing some well-chosen examples in advance means less time trying to remember what was said at a workshop (and that you may have dismissed as irrelevant) and more time answering the question.WritingPart of your exam preparation should include practising writing out the answers to sample questions (see previous papers on the Learning Platform) and timing yourself. Yep – practise writing!! It is not as silly as it sounds – when was the last time any of us really sat down and wrote out something using a real pen and paper for 3 hours straight? And not only do you have to actually write something you have to write it fast, and make sure it is legible. If you are struggling with a question, leave yourself some space in the answer book and move on to the next question.Running out of time in the exam is something which can be avoided as long as students make sure they prepare for it and the earlier the better - it is a real shame when competent students are unsuccessful due to lack of preparation.Good luck with your studies, and I hope the information here proves useful.For further information on this subject you can access our other blogs here and here.

NEW ORLEANS — Despite the failure of the GOP health care effort in Congress, there's good news in the health care debate right now, a former Senate Republican budget aide said at a working lunch at the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting this afternoon. The highlights from Bill Hoagland, a former staff director for the Senate Budget Committee:
- On opioids: If Trump declares the opioid crisis a national emergency, — depending on which law Trump turns to to do so — mayors and states might have to be less creative about funding for remedying the opioid crisis, meaning they wouldn't have to worry about offsetting as much. That might help stabilize the market in the short term.
- "Medicaid is off the table from the time being from my perspective" on Capitol Hill. (The U.S. Conference of Mayors sent a letter to Congress last month noting any proposal that cuts Medicaid is a nonstarter.)
- ACA is the law of the land and CHIP reauthorization will take place, per Hoagland. (CHIP reauthorization is on the calendar for the first week of September, although it's hard to know right now what the conversation will entail.)
- Bipartisanship: Senators Lamar Alexander and Murry are planning to start work on a bipartisan plan this fall. Read the details from Axios' Caitlin Owens.

Female Genital Mutilation, also known as female genital cutting (FGC) includes all procedures involving the partial or complete removal of the external female genitalia, or any other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. It is generally practiced on girls between the ages of four and twelve. In some cultures it is performed as early as a few days after birth or shortly prior to marriage. It is one of the most severe forms of Gender Based Violence (GBV).
What are the major types of FGM?
Type I: Clitoridectomy, which is the partial or total removal of the clitoris or the prepuce.
Type II: Excision, which is the partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without the excision of the labia majora or the prepuce.
Type III: Infibulation, which is the narrowing of the vaginal orifice with the creation of a covering seal by cutting and appositioning the labia minora and labia majora with or without excision of the clitoris.
Type IV: Pricking, piercing or incising of the clitoris and/or labia; stretching of the clitoris and/or labia; cauterization by burning of the clitoris and surrounding tissue ; scraping of tissue surrounding the vaginal orifice or cutting of the vagina; introduction of corrosive substances or herbs into the vagina to cause bleeding or for the purpose of tightening.
Where is FGM practiced?
FGM is practiced in more than 28 countries in Africa, parts of the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe, America and other countries where migrants from FGM-affected communities live.
What reason do the communities that practice FGM give for engaging in the practice?
There are a number of social and economic reasons given:
- As a rite of passage to signal that a girl has now become a woman
- To reduce the sexual desire of girls and women
- To follow a religious requirement (although there is no evidence that FGM is supported by any religion)
- To make girl and women clean
- To keep the cultural identity of a community
- To enhance men's sexual pleasure
- To prepare a girl for marriage. Once FGM is performed a girl is seen as being ready for marriage. There is a link between FGM and child marriage.
- It is believed that FGM ensures a girl's virginity, making sure she has not had sex with anyone before marriage. This may make men more willing to marry her and pay higher bride price for her.
- FGM provides circumcisers with a source of income. In some communities traditional leaders and chiefs are paid to give permission for girls to be cut.

It's Day 2 and I have to say I am quite proud of myself. Bad produce destroyed a planned dish and instead of having a mini-attack, which normally happens, I said whatever and created something else.
Yes, I REALLY wanted to create a warming, spiced Moroccan "cous-cous" but I guess I can hold off til next time. :)
Early Morning:
Instead of a warm lemon tea, I decided to go for a warm Detox tea to assist my raw food cleanse.
Another Simple Green Smoothie! This one was hideous to look at, but too easy to sip! And I LOVE the name hehe.
Razzy Granny
by Simple Green Smoothies
Makes 16 ounces
- ¾ cup spinach
- ¾ cup kale
- 1 cups coconut water
- ½ cups raspberries, frozen
- 1 small granny smith apple
- ½ large banana*
- Blend and enjoy! Just don't look at it!
Kombucha cravings continue…this time a Harvest Spice blend. Delish! MTO I love you!
Sooo I was intending to make the aforementioned Moroccan Dish when I discovered my parsnip from which I was going to make raw rice with, was woody and bitter! Eck! So what to do what to do. My produce supply was already looking low (and it's already Tuesday!) and then I noticed a jar of Raw Kimchi that I haven't touched in a while just sitting there fermenting and growing better and better in flavor. The only thing that came to mind was Bibimbap salad.
I didn't have all the "right" fixings but heck this was MY dish and I figured I could add whatever I want to MY bibimbap, accurate or not to the original recipe….if there honestly is one.
Sitting on top of a bed of mixed greens in a beautiful circle was carrots, marinated cukes, marinated mushrooms, raw kimchi, tomatoes (that's right!), and avocado topped with a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Simple and ever so tasty. No dressing was needed as the kimchi had enough flavor on its own. I did drizzle the remaining mushroom marinade on top before serving. I guess you can call that a dressing.
The good thing about this salad is that you can add and remove any of the ingredients to make your own bowl. You seriously can NOT go wrong!
Raw Bibimbap-style Salad Bowl
By Beth Mickens
- 2 cups of mixed greens
- ½ small cucumber, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp of raw apple cider vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 2 mushroom, sliced
- 1 Tbsp of tamari or namu shoya
- 1 tsp of raw honey
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- Pinch of grated garlic
- 2 small carrots, grated
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 1/3 avocado, sliced
- Raw sesame seeds to garnish
- Raw Kimchi (mine is locally made)
- To start, marinade your cucumbers and mushrooms.
- For the cucumbers, pour into a small bowl the ACV and a pinch of salt. Toss the cucumbers into the dressing and set aside.
- For the mushrooms, whisk together the tamari, honey, garlic and lemon juice. Toss the mushrooms in the marinade and set aside.
- To prepare your bowl, first add the mixed greens.
- Next add the carrots, marinated cucumbers, marinated mushrooms, tomatoes, and raw kimchi into a circle in your bowl.
- In the middle add your avocado.
- Garnish with sesame seeds.
- Before serving drizzle with remaining mushroom marinade.
Not sure why, but my metabolism takes a nasty dip in the evening time….maybe it's all the snacking I do when I prep dinner and the next day's lunch that makes me not hungry by evening time.. That could be a problem :P
While I didn't make a meal I did make this week's dessert! Yummy, guiltless, raw Goo Goo Clusters by the fabulous Betty Rawker! I followed the recipe as is except for a few modifications which I will describe below.
|Looks like a bit of walnut skin got into my cluster!
These babies are fabulous! Gooey, crunchy, and creamy all at once! Heaven! The coconut layer alone is mouthwatering and very difficult NOT to eat. Thankfully the recipe makes extras. :)
Here is the original recipe.
- I did use half the recipe which made 9 mini cups.
- For the date caramel, because I did not have Medjool dates, I used Deglet Noor. I ended up using 12 dates chopped just so it would blend, along with 1 ½ coconut oil, 1 tbsp of maple syrup, a pinch of salt and ½ tsp of vanilla. I needed a pinch of water to get it to blend too. I suggest soaking Deglet Noor dates next time and using 2-3x the amount of suggested Medjool dates. I actually liked the thick, gooey caramel but it was pretty densely sweet.
- For mini cups use in order, 1 tsp of chocolate, a heaping ½ tsp of coconut, 1 tsp of caramel, 1 walnut and 1 ½ - 2 tsp of chocolate to coat.
At THAT my friends was Day 2!
Now go make those delicious Goo Goo Clusters!!

Is this the real deal or nothing but vaporware?
Building on the Quant e-Sportlimousine, carmaker NanoFlowcell AG has unveiled the Quant F ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Boasting a "complete redesign of its predecessor," the new model delivers a staggering 1,075 hp, can hit 62 mph in less than three seconds and tops out at 186 mph. The beautifully sculpted electric super-sedan uses four separate motors powered by electricity generated from a "flow battery."
It uses two 250-liter onboard tanks of negatively and positively charged electrolyte solutions that are circulated through a central cell stack. A membrane separates the solutions, while allowing for the electrical charge to pass through in order to produce power for the drivetrain. As well as creating more power than most hypercars, the Quant F boasts a range of around 500 miles. A unique two-speed automatic transmission will send all that power to a permanent four-wheel-drive system. Although when rapid acceleration is needed, the front axle is declutched, switching power exclusively to the rear wheels. A two-stage aerofoil also deploys above 50 mph for "even sportier driving."

"With Zombieland 2 it seems like as much as everyone would like to see that happen, it's not happening anytime soon," answered Fleisher. "At least not for me because I'm spoken for, for at least the next year. And I know Emma has Spider-Man commitments and whatnot so I think we all want to (do it) in theory but as each day passes it seems less and less possible." I followed up by asking him if the delay also had to do with the script not being completed yet. "I think if we had a script that we all loved and we were ready to go make it, it would have been made," Fleisher explained.
"I'm actually in pre production now on Gangster Squad and we start shooting in September," he continued. I finished my conversation withFleisher by asking him to briefly describe his vision as a director forGangster Squad. "For me it is a huge opportunity because it's not a comedy," he said. "It's a period piece. I guess it's an action movie but it's a classic gangster movie up there with The Untouchables, L.A. Confidential, and Chinatown. Its really just one of those iconic movies and I think for me its hugely exciting to get to work with those actors. To get to make a movie that is … if you think of like The Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, and all those other movies I mentioned that are gangster films, so for me to get to make one is a pretty unique and awesome opportunity."

Its your move
There is no universally accepted definition of BIM yet, the unavoidable truth is that Africa will never join any of the earlier adopters or have the resources to accomplish the huge amount of infrastructure development that Africa needs. Unless we all work together and produce a new way of working on our continent.
Some of the sobering statistics are well known to many global investors on just how far behind Africa really is. Yet for many locals, its business as usual. There are many cities within Africa where the residual value of a building is little more than half the cost of its construction.
For many contractors, especially in South Africa the profit margins have been very slim in the past few years, and the unpredictability of the process poses risk for everyone from the client onward. The collapse of numerous 'Big Five' contractors in South Africa shows how real those risks are, yet most contractors have failed to adopt new ways of working.
My eBook ' It's your move' takes a look at the introduction of common global standards and operating methods using BIM and how Africa can benefit. What are the barriers to operation and trade across the African construction industry and beyond?
As a continent, how do we improve certainty of the construction output including increases in quality and reductions. Most important is the debate around how we can improve resource efficiency using advanced construction software that has been available in our local markets for decades.
Many companies including professional bodies will argue that they have invested in employee CPD training, but the challenge is that the 'old traditional CPD style' of training of putting staff in a room for a few days and overwhelming them with 'death by PowerPoint' is very traditional way of thinking. We are in one of the most transformational times in human history, the opportunity now is to be liquid, to learn just in time and not just in case.
Technology has become far more than just a technological enabler of transformation but more of an innovative tool leading us to news ways of processing information.
Today, millennial's assimilate information and learn differently and we need to learn from this, we need to immerse ourselves with an interactive experience that takes us out of the head space of 'business as usual' – and into the head-space of being a digital investor.
The eBook, BIM 'It's your move' by Vaughan Harris, to be released end of January 2019

(Digital • Binary Feedback • 2014)
Binary Feedback's blurb states "If Unsound System ever had a day job, now would be the time to give it up!" – I, for one, concur most heartily…
This sixth release from Hue Jah Fink?'s excellent digital imprint comprises three versions of 'TINA's For Turning', contributed by veteran stalwarts of the London DIY scene, Unsound System. The track is a deceptively laidback and rolling slice of conscious hip-hop, underpinned by a solid, rich instrumental, and is both a call to arms for the armchair activist and a rallying cry for the dedicated dissidents.
More like this please! Available as pay-what-you-can, via Bandcamp.
It's an unsound system, it's fucking you royally,
I'm fuckin out of it, ain't gonna embroil me,
In bullshit system, Neo Liberal Democracy,
Built on war and modern day slavery,
You're branded! The free Market,
The words are a mockery,
Oxymoronic, like virtual reality could be…"
See this system, great for greed, man,
Psychopathic just like Thatcher, Reagan, Friedman,
Tried and tested in compliant puppet nations…"

Additionally, NAR concluded that most homes sell for approximately 5% more and about 17% days faster when sold through a Realtor.

Much like students, learning comes in all shapes and sizes. As one of the largest platforms for e-learning in India, DIGICHAMPS has categorized learning into four distinct groups. In the future, we will refer to these categories as learning types. It is important to first understand that not every student learns in the same way. For example, some students may prefer to study using textbooks, while others might find the same text-based format to be incredibly taxing.
Through our online study platform, we create unique and personalized approaches for students of different learning types. Here is how DIGICHAMPS categorizes students.
Text-based Learners
For students that enjoy reading and writing, text-based learning is the most ideal format. DIGICHAMPS provides these learning types with highly informative breakdowns of concepts and course notes that offer insights into the lesson. Our online courses come fully equipped with text-based course content.
Auditory Learners
Audio learning types prefer to be taught orally. These students are great listeners and can understand concepts with ease when someone takes the time to explain it to them. Our mentors, also known as DIGIGURUS, provide complete support for these learning types. They connect with students to explain concepts and clarify doubts at all times of the day!
Practical Learners
Practical learning types depend on physical applications of concepts to understand them. These students learn from experience, internalizing concepts as they perform them with their own hands. DIGICHAMPS' online courses provide a one-of-a-kind gamified testing process that pushes students to test themselves and learn from their mistakes in a fun manner.
Visual Learners
It is said that seeing is believing, and for visual learning types especially, this is very true! But it should be also noted that visual aids are powerful tools that can make learning extremely interesting for any student, regardless of learning types. DIGICHAMPS creates real-life video lessons, helping students to learn from practical demonstrations.
We provide students with a personalized lesson plan based on their learning type. A DIGICHAMPS student is first categorized into one of the four learning types. Based on which category he/she belongs to, our DIGIGURUS pick an appropriate format for online tutoring.
The DIGICHAMPS e-learning app aims to provide students with modern education in a modern format. From our extensive online courses to tab-based learning, there is no length we wouldn't go to ensure a bright future for our students! Find out more on our site at: https://thedigichamps.com

In this column, Mark Ginocchio (from Chasing Amazing) takes a look at the gimmick covers from the 1990s and gives his take on whether the comic in question was just a gimmick or whether the comic within the gimmick cover was good. Hence "Gimmick or Good?" Here is an archive of all the comics featured so far. We continue with 1992's black polybagged Superman #75...
Superman #75 (published November 1992) – script by Dan Jurgens, art by Jurgens and Brett Breeding
One of the most controversial and culturally significant comic books of the 1990s, Superman #75 is more popularly known as the "Death of Superman." The release of this comic book garnered so much mainstream media attention, its shocking ending was reported by a number of broadcast news channels and national newspapers. Adding to the issue's buzz was its packaging – special "collector's" editions were wrapped in a black polybag sporting the iconic Superman "S" dripping in red "blood." In addition to the comic, the bag contained a trading card, a Daily Planet obituary, a black armband, and other assorted paraphernalia. Of course, if you were lucky enough to score a first printing polybag, you would have been considered crazy to crack it open since everybody was convinced that this comic would one day be worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in its pristine, undisturbed form.
In the 20 years since its release, Superman #75 has become a lighting rod for angry comic book enthusiasts who essentially blame its mainstream popularity for sinking the industry and scores of local retailers in the late 1990s. Many people really only bought a copy as a dot com-esque investment, and when they were unable to get a serious chunk of change for it, they abandoned the comic book industry altogether.
But what about inside the polybag and inside the comic?
What makes analyzing the contents of Superman #75 a tricky endeavor is the power of 20-20 hindsight. In retrospect, of course, the death of character as iconic as Superman wasn't going to be permanent and if people really purchased 20 copies of the book because they thought it was going to be as valuable as Action Comics #1 one day, they probably deserved to get swindled. With that said, the issue is such a cultural landmark for comic book fans because it's exemplary of the excesses of the 1990s. Despite the speculator-fueled hysteria, 20 years later I still think everyone should get their hands on a copy and read it at least once. It will only take you about 10 minutes to do, which speaks volumes about the comic's depth.
Superman #75 isn't really so much a story as it is a series of great-looking splash pages of one brutally bloody brawl between the Man of Steel and Doomsday. There's certainly an audience for something like this – why else would Michael Bay movies make millions of dollars if there wasn't a significant portion of the population that wanted to pay to see stuff blow up? If you think of Superman #75 as the Michael Bay movie of 1990s comic books, I think you'll have a good time reading it.
Of course, looking at it more critically, there are holes aplenty. The script is incredibly shallow. There are predictable and clichéd scenes galore like Superman and Lois Lane sharing a customary last kiss before he meets his impending demise...
and, of course, Superman dying in Lois' arms. The last block of text of the issue (which is inside a gatefold final page) is "that a Superman died" which I'm sure is designed to be a chilling finale to the character's story, but the most cynical part of me just wants to roll my eyes after reading it.
Other sappy visuals include a despondent JLA at the scene of the battle and Clark Kent's parents embracing as they witness Superman's death on the television. The whole time, Jurgens is selling the hero's sacrifice and his relentless will to do right by everyone.
What always bothers me about this issue is the fact that Jurgens and Breeding never actually demonstrate what is so special about Doomsday that he should be the character to actually succeed in killing Superman. Sure, it's established that he's a mindless killing machine with immense strength, but outside of heavy-handedly telegraphing on every single page that Superman is going to die by the end of the issue, I never truly get the impression that there is something that much more epic or grand about this battle. Considering this comic was sold so hard to casual readers, you would think DC would have made fewer assumptions about what people checking out a copy already knew about Doomsday and his capacity to destroy Superman.
Meanwhile, there's an old adage in writing that says "show me, don't tell me" and Superman #75 is certainly an example of the creative team telling readers, over and over again, that something is critically dire, without ever actually showing us in a way that provides much clarity or depth.
So, while I may advise people to give this comic book a read because of its historic nature, I certainly can't call it a "good" comic in terms of how it was written and crafted. It's not Grant Morrison's infinitely more insightful examination of Superman's final days in All-Star Superman, but it's hard to go the rest of your life as a comic book fan without giving the "death of Superman" a read at least once.
Verdict: Gimmick
