Just back again from the deliciously juicy, turgid gardens of Marlborough, NZ, and while I've been ranting about the joys and the unrealized potential of dry gardening for years, I still find that I can have the wind punched from my guts by gardens so hydrated – so pumped with H2O – that I feel like some desiccated, no-longer-functional part of my physiology or psychology is being revivified by osmosis alone.
To enter a garden like Hortensia House (above), that is run through with a deep stream of spring-sourced water, is like being spontaneously connected to an intravenous drip. You can hear every cell sighing in relief.
The mental image I have is of me crawling on my hands and knees through desert sands, and finding myself, semi-dazed, in a dripping green oasis. Lying on my back after a long drink, I gingerly scan my convictions about dry gardening and detect a sneaking suspicion that my enthusiasm has been little more than a mental survival strategy.
But it's a suspicion I can't entertain. I live in a location with an average rainfall of 800ish mm, which is yet to break 500mm this year. While the average total isn't too bad, I'm on tank water only, and five adult-sized users of these tanks will run them near-dry by the end of summer. So I don't water the garden at all. I don't even attempt to grow veggies in summer. A few pots in important positions survive on the cold water we collect while we wait for the hot water to reach our bathroom (about 6l each time).
So I've got to fill my head with highly desirable dry gardens. In my super-hydrated stupor, I could only think of one. I had to keep chanting to myself – 'Remember Nicole de Vesian. Remember Nicole de Vesian. Think only on Nicole de Vesian'. Her undeniably desirable La Louve alone kept me on track. I couldn't, in the moment, think of any others.
Please – for the sake of my rapidly dehydrating sanity – remind me of more!

When we went to York in winters this year, the last thing we expected to see was a flooded River Ouse. Yet that was the first thing we saw. The long bar in the middle of water in the first photo is actually the top of a wooden bench placed on the side of the river. It would have been interesting to sit on it at this time.
The weather was cold and days were short so we decided to start early. We were hoping to see everything in the city by 6 PM because we had a train to catch shortly after that. But we were wrong. We were free by 3:00 PM owing to two things mostly - York being a very small city and our reluctance to chip out money to see anything really.
We chanced upon the Yorkshire Museum Gardens where we found the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey at around 3:30 PM and that was to consume the rest of the time of our trip. The Gardens are situated on the banks of the river Ouse and has a cemetary and chapel and also houses the City Art Gallery at one end.
The ruins in this Garden date back to the 13th century when an extensive rebuilding programme was undertaken and completed. Not much is left of it though. During the day, the lush garden around the ruins make is look very attractive and alive in spite of the age of the buildings.
Ruins of the St. Mary's Abbey Church. Walking ahead are my friends Hannah and Kelsey. I love ruins and ancient historical places. There is a mystery around these which only years and years of history can create.
Looking at the ruins now, it is very difficult to believe that St. Mary's was once the largest and richest Benedictine establishment in the north of England and St. Mary's Abbey was the largest landholder. A very shocking reminder indeed of the fact that nothing lasts forever.
The ruinned Abbey Church and the leafless trees with the setting sun in the backdrop make this place look even more sinister than it actually is. When you are with your friends, the place is charming, but if you are alone...
This once used to the Apse of the Norman Church. During the times of its glory, there would have been an altar here. but all that lies here now are some excavated ruins.
Days as I mentioned were short and it was late evening by 4:00 PM, so we said good bye to this intriguing piece of history and moved on to the City Art Gallery as the place had started giving us the spooks.

Let's Experience Love on the 14th!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner…as if you didn't recognize the explosion of pink and red at every drugstore or grocery chain you enter! So, what are you planning on getting for that special someone on the 14th? Well if you're like most people, it will involve giving either flowers, chocolates, a stuffed animal or some combination of the three with a dinner out to end the evening. Although the thought is well meaning, flowers die in a couple of days, you end up eating an entire box of chocolates and can't fit your favorite pair of jeans (speaking from experience here), the stuffed animal goes on a shelf and collects dust and the dinner you shared will become a faded memory unless of course it was on the Eiffel Tower (or somewhere along those lines).
Health and Valentine's rarely go together in the same sentence but 2016 may be the year to start! Many studies have shown that experiences are much more memorable to people than physical objects. This is due to the multi sensory ability that experiences allow us to have. Wouldn't it be great to do something with your partner that is fun, memorable and healthy?
Here are some ideas on what to do for Valentine's Day with your special someone.
Go on a tour around your area. Whether it's a bike or walking tour, you would be surprised at how much you can learn about a city or area by taking a professionally guided tour while enjoying the beautiful outdoors and each other of course.
Are you both adrenaline junkies?? Then maybe skydiving, ziplining, go-karting or speed boating may be up your alley. Not ready to go that far? How about an indoor skydiving experience which mimics the real thing without the fear of dying ;)
Drive to the nearest beach or lake and take a walk along the shore. It's a great way to catch up and recharge. Take a break to enjoy a casual picnic packed meal for two in between.
Rent a canoe or kayak for two and enjoy a fun day out on the water.
Take horseback riding lessons.
Take a hike at a local or state park and watch the sunrise or sunset together.
Take a cooking class. There are so many cooking schools and restaurants that offer classes to learn how to make your favorite foods from sushi to gnocchi. This way you both will learn something new AND still get a meal included.
Take dance lessons. Whether it's the rumba, hip hop or ballroom the choices are endless. Have two left feet? Maybe this could be your chance to learn some signature moves and show your loved one your willingness to step out of your comfort zone.
End the day with a spa experience like a couples massage to soothe any sore muscles after a long day of activity.
Remember this is just a short list of experiences you can consider giving your loved one for Valentine's Day. Although these are perfect to surprise someone with on the 14th, remember that anyone would love to experience these year round so don't just limit it to Valentine's Day :)

I actually don't insist that any of my kids do notebooking if they don't want to until second grade when they can write more independently with proper sentence structure and spelling. It's always an option, and my younger ones usually want to notebook. But I don't require it until 2nd grade.

I just wanted to comment this time to let you know that my brother was the exact same way as your son. He decided he was going to be a Soldier when he was 4, and he never wavered from that. He also attended Civil Air Patrol for many years, and got a lot of great experience in lots of different areas, from search and rescue to Color Guard.

He eventually applied to and was accepted by the United States Military Academy, which is the 4 year college for the US Army. There are also Academies for the US Navy, US Air Force, US Coast Guard, and US Merchant Marines (not the military Marines, they're still a part of the Navy). My brother graduated and is now serving in the US Army as a 1st Lieutenant.

If your son continues to pursue this goal strongly as he grows up, I would suggest looking into the Academies if he wants to become an officer. The roles of the officers and the enlisted personnel are very different, but both are professional and valuable, so if you can connect with some officers and some enlisted personnel in the branch he is most interested in, he might find that he is drawn more to one or the other. The broadest generalization is that the enlisted personnel are subject matter experts in more specific fields, with greater technical or mechanical skills, while the officers are more managerial and deal more with the planning and logistical sides of things. But that is a wild over simplification, and the ability to work well with many different kinds of people is important in all military roles.

I wish you and your son the best of luck with this year, and all the years to come! :)

Blessings,

The Coach For Life!
Everyone needs someone there to hold them accountable, encourage them, help them grow and pick them up when they've fallen down. In the fitness world people don't have this kind of support and thats why so many people fail. When they get knocked down there's no one there to talk to, to help get back up and there's no one to smile and say that it's going to be alright. There's especially no one there to say lets make a plan of action to make this better.
This is where your coach for life comes in. This coach is there to lead each person who walks into our gym through an incredibly personalized 1-on-1 fundamentals program. Your coach for life will build a fundamentals experience that caters to your specific needs and experience level. Including building our StoneAgeFuel Fluff to Tuff healthy eating challenge to your specific needs. That's why no two fundamentals experiences are exactly the same. Your coach for life will be there when you eventually go into group classes to introduce you to everyone and maybe even do the workout with you to ensure you feel comfortable and confident!
Your coach for life will also reach out to meet with you one on one as often as you both decide you need it when you're in group classes, because the personalized experience of fundamentals should never end and you should always have someone there to discuss your goals with and to ensure you're on the right track. Maybe there's a specific skill you want to work on, discuss your diet and how it's going or take pictures or measurements.
Finally your coach for life is there to be your friend and to help you succeed in your goals. It may be a quick text giving you some encouragement, a high five in the gym or a post on social media shouting out how awesome you are. This is truly a person you can trust and someone who will always be there for you. This is your coach for life!

Noisy Neighbours Silenced
Chiswick Residents Successfully Prosecuted
Hounslow Council have successfully prosecuted two Chiswick residents after complaints about excessive noise from neighbours.
Dominic Whelan, of Florence Gardens, Chiswick was prosecuted for failing to comply with the requirements of an abatement notice. Following a guilty plea, he was given a conditional discharge for a year and ordered to pay the Council's costs of £100.
Jennat Bains, of Annandale Road, Chiswick also pleaded guilty to causing noise nuisance, and was fined £75, with costs of £100 awarded to the Council. Her equipment was seized and will be held for six months before being given to charity or destroyed.
Hounslow's Head of Pollution Control, Gerry McCarthy, said:
"There are a number of ways in which neighbours can avoid causing nuisance. These prosecutions show we are determined to take legal action where our advice is ignored. "
The cases were heard at Brentford Magistrates Court last month.
March 19, 2004

My weakness is shopping. Actually, not just shopping. My weakness is shopping, thrifting, collecting….I can't drive past a car boot sale without dropping in, I can't visit a new town without thrifting through the charity shops, I can't ignore a sign saying "Garage Sale"..to be honest I can't even drive past a skip without meer-catting my neck up to see if there's any bounty inside.
So maybe I should share with you my weakness..in fact here is last week's weakness.
I simply fell in love with this 1950s dress last week and had to buy it. It will be perfect for a wedding I have in a few weeks time.
It is a chiffon feel material and layered over a lining so the main part is not see through. The colours are lovely..blue roses which is such a classic look.
I love the neckline..it rolls over in a wide neck at the front and forms a V back. The collar points at the back which is a really nice detail.
The bodice is tight with a nipped in waist. The skirt flares out and looks great with my petticoat which matches!
The sleeves are 3/4 length, sheer with slight puffed shoulders. The cuffs are folded.
It is in stunning condition and will complement Mr YVL's vintage navy 3 piece suit perfectly.
Not sure which bag to choose to accompany it…how about my 50s American barrel box bag?
What do you think?

If there's one position at which we should be able to predict NHL Seattle's direction heading into the franchise's 2021 Expansion Draft, it would be netminder. After all, Vegas's impending acquisition of Marc-Andre Fleury, then 32 years old, in the lead-up to the Golden Knights' inaugural season was perhaps the worst-kept secret in all of hockey.
Fleury was coming off a 2016-2017 season in which his Penguins had won the Stanley Cup, but he had lost his job to a man ten years his junior, and one who was making $5 million less per year in Matt Murray. Fleury's illustrious career in Pittsburgh was quite obviously over, and there simply was no other outcome that could have transpired that offseason, other than him joining the NHL's 31st team.
Alas, at this point in time, things aren't quite as crystal clear as to who will don the first beautiful set of custom-designed Bauer, CCM, or perhaps even Brian's goalie gear in Seattle's TBD colors, and lead the NHL's 32nd team onto the New Arena at Seattle Center's ice for puck drop in fall of 2021. In fact, with a year left to go before Seattle's Expansion Draft, the only thing that makes the goaltender position any more predictable than, say, third-pairing left defense is the fact that the pool of options is simply smaller for backstops.
We can certainly whittle things down a bit by examining the contract situations of teams and goalies across the league. But even then, there's just a lot of uncertainty, due to a number of outstanding scenarios that will alter the goaltending landscape a bit when the 2019-2020 season officially concludes. Nonetheless, let's do some digging, and see if we can uncover who will be the first goalie for NHL Seattle.
For your perusal, here are all of the goaltending contract statuses, broken down by division (click each to expand):
For the sake of whittling, it's easiest to focus on which teams will likely have a logjam in net when 2021 rolls around.
Perhaps the best example of such a logjam is the New York Rangers. The Rangers are especially interesting, because when the 2019-2020 season concludes, they will have three NHL-quality goalies in Henrik Lundqvist, Igor Shesterkin, and Alexander Georgiev. Georgiev will be a restricted free agent after this season, and Shesterkin will become an RFA after next season. Lundqvist is currently 38 years old, so he obviously doesn't fit the mold for landing in Seattle, but his contract runs through next season as well. The challenge for New York is how do they keep three NHL goalies through next season? Well, they don't, so something will have to give there, and even if Lundqvist comes off the roster somehow, either via trade (he has a no movement clause) or retirement, that still leaves Shesterkin and Georgiev. New York cannot protect both, and both are good. Correction: Reader Jason Katinas accurately pointed out that Igor Shesterkin is actually exempt from the Expansion Draft, because like Elvis Merzlikins in Columbus, Shesterkin has only been a North American pro for one year. So, maybe New York isn't quite as interesting of a scenario as I initially thought.
Pittsburgh has two great young goalies in the aforementioned Murray and Tristan Jarry, who burst onto the scene this season to essentially do to his counterpart what his counterpart did to Fleury in 2016-2017. Jarry had an impressive .921 save percentage and 2.43 GAA, and sometimes looked unbeatable en route to a 20-12-1 record. It would be a little ironic for Pittsburgh to give up a goalie in the Expansion Draft for the second time in a row, but with both Murray and Jarry becoming RFA's after next season, one will have to either be traded or exposed. My guess is that Pittsburgh will find a way to avoid Fleury 2.0, but we shall see.
Vancouver and Washington are a little different from the others in this lot. Both have bona fide starters in Jacob Markstrom and Braden Holtby respectively, and solid up-and-coming back-ups in Thatcher Demko and Ilya Samsonov. Holtby's name almost always comes up as the next goalie to experience Fleury's Expansion Draft fate, and that makes sense. He's 30 years old, has Samsonov waiting in the wings, and doesn't have a contract
beyond this season. Markstrom—who played in his first All-Star Game this season —has the exact same scenario playing out in Vancouver, except his re-signing there has generally felt like less of a foregone conclusion than Holtby returning to Washington. Frankly, though, I think Holtby or Markstrom ending up in Seattle is unlikely. It just seems farfetched that any team would sign either of these guys to extensions after this season and not figure out a way to protect the asset. If they do both re-sign with their current teams, then look for Seattle to scoop up either Demko or Samsonov.
Also worth lumping in as a potential goalie target is Arizona. Looking at the contract statuses, it's obvious that Darcy Kuemper will be protected, but Antti Raanta's deal is up heading into the 2021 offseason, and young Adin Hill will still be in the mix there. Raanta has had a ton of injury issues in his career, but one could see either him or Hill (or both) being available, should Seattle wish to go in one of those directions.
Meanwhile, Columbus seems like a very obvious candidate to cede a goaltender to Seattle, because after signing both of its 26-year-old backstops to extensions this season, Joonas Korpisalo and Elvis Merzlikins are under contract through 2021-2022. However, there's a wrinkle. Because Merzlikins just started playing pro hockey in North America
this season, he's actually exempt from the Expansion Draft. Thus, the likeliest scenario here is that Korpisalo will be protected, and instead, Latvian youngster Matiss Kivlenieks would be exposed. Kivlenieks is still intriguing, as he was thrust into action with Columbus for six games this season with both Korpisalo and Merzlikins simultaneously on the shelf. Kivlenieks performed admirably, with a 1-1-2 record, and 2.95 GAA.
Aside from the teams that have multiple contracts to juggle, there are also several goaltenders scattered about the league who will see their contracts expire in the next year. This adds to the murkiness of the expansion pool, because where these goalies land with their next contracts will certainly impact whether or not they will be ripe for Seattle's picking.
Some names that stick out are Anton Khudobin and Robin Lehner, both of whom will need contracts after this season, and Tuukka Rask, Petr Mrazek, David Rittich, Philipp Grubauer, and Jordan Binnington, who are all expected to be unrestricted free agents after next season. Obviously some of those guys will re-sign with their current teams prior to the end of their contracts, and being a free agent in 2021 doesn't make them any more likely to land in Seattle than anywhere else. Still, these are players worth tracking over the course of the next two offseasons. By the way, on Lehner, Vegas is exempt from expansion, so if he goes back to the Golden Knights, he's off the table.
There are a couple more angles to consider. There are plenty of goalies out there with whom we aren't currently super familiar that may be available in the Expansion Draft, and that may be worth a look come the conclusion of the 2020-2021 season. Maybe a stud AHL goalie like a Kaapo Kahkonen out of Minnesota is left exposed, and finally finds his way onto an NHL roster, but in Seattle. There's also a chance that Seattle manages to snag a goalie or two when teams place players on waivers after their 2021 training camps. Vegas went this route, as Malcolm Subban backed up Fleury for most of that franchise's first season, and Subban had been claimed off waivers from Boston after camp.
So, with all this in mind, we still can't really predict with any accuracy who will be Seattle's first goalie. But once the dust settles on this coming offseason, we should have a very good understanding of which direction the teams with netminding logjams are heading, and at that point, we may be able to whittle this pool down to just a few potential Marc-Andre Fleury's.
Wait, I wonder if Seattle can get the actual Marc-Andre Fleury…

Bhagavata Purana (written around 3100 BCE), describes a short story about Snake and Mouse, which describes how one should make terms even with enemies to temporarily solve his problems.
This story is referred to in 8th Skandha, 6th Adhyaya of Bhagavata Purana, just before the description of Churning of Milky Ocean, but not completely narrated.
It is very much relevant in today's political world and even in any business.
Snake Vs Mouse Story
A snake charmer had locked up one snake in a wooden box. Somehow a mouse entered into that box, in search of food.
Upon seeing the snake, which usually preys on mouse, it got frightened.
But snake told him not to fear but bore a hole in the wooden box, so that both of them can escape from the snake charmer.
A mouse has ability and strength in its teeth to bore a hole in wood.
It believed snake's words and it made a hole in the box through which both escaped out.
Immediately after coming out of the hole, the snake swallowed the mouse.
This story is told by Lord Vishnu to Devas so that they would take help of Danavas in churning ocean.
Vishnu said "Listen oh Brahma and Siva, gods, to what I am going to tell you. All of you listen attentively, for that will assure you Suras of the ultimate happiness.
Just settle temporarily for the blessings You will receive from making a truce with the Daityas and Danavas who presently have the time on their side.
Oh gods, if it is important to one's duties one should even make terms with one's enemies, like a snake would do with a mouse, depending the position he is in.
Forthwith endeavor for producing the nectar drinking which any living entity in mortal danger can become immortal. Cast all kinds of creepers, grasses, vegetables and herbs into the ocean of milk and attentively engage with My help oh gods, in churning using Vâsuki [the snake] for the rope and the mountain Mandara for the churning rod.
It will engage your Daitya opponents, but you will reap the fruit of that activity.
Do not get angry about it, because to engage in peace is the best way to attain all one's goals.
Accept therefore everything that the Asuras demand oh Suras".
After churning of ocean, Nectar[Amrit] was produced and Vishnu cheated Daityas by disguising as Mohini(attractive female) and gave away entire nectar to Devas to make them immortal.
Thus, powerful and efficient enemies are sometimes made into temporary friends and when their work is done, they're discraded, killed or framed into a trap.
In history, we can see how many kings like Sivaji etc have acted to make temporary friendship with their enemies and later ditched them.
In modern day politics we observe how few politicians make temporary friends (alliances) even with their enemied, take their help for some time and once they attain power, then kill them politically by trapping them into cases or corruption or defame them or even break their party by attracting their members into own party.


text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Annotate Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ +++ HISTORY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY ++ Methylxanthines are plant-derived alkaloids that include caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine), theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), and theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine). They are so named because they are methylated derivatives of xanthine. Members of this group have very similar pharmacologic properties and clinical effects. Methylxanthines are used ubiquitously throughout the world, most commonly in beverages imbibed for their stimulant, mood-elevating, and fatigue-abating effects. Coffea arabica and related species are used to make coffee, a beverage rich in caffeine. Cocoa and chocolate are derived from the seeds of Theobroma cacao, which contains theobromine and to a lesser extent caffeine. Thea sinensis, a bush native to China but now cultivated worldwide, produces leaves from which various teas, rich in caffeine and containing small amounts of theophylline and theobromine, are brewed. Paullinia spp, commonly known as guarana, is a South American plant that produces berries with caffeine content much greater than that of coffee beans. ++ Selective β2-adrenergic agonists have been developed for the treatment of bronchoconstriction. Their selectivity has improved therapy for bronchoconstriction, allowing avoidance of the adverse effects of the previously used therapies: epinephrine, an α- and β-adrenergic agonist, as well as isoproterenol, a β1- and β2-adrenergic agonist. All β2-adrenergic agonists have nearly identical clinical effects; the principal differences are their pharmacokinetics. This chapter does not examine each β2-adrenergic agonist individually but instead discusses them as a class. The β2-adrenergic agonists include albuterol, clenbuterol, bitolterol, formoterol, pirbuterol, salmeterol, terbutaline, and ritodrine. ++ The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) reported the following trends in methylxanthine exposures. Theophylline exposures, which previously caused thousands of poisonings and dozens of deaths annually, have remained rare. From 2007 to 2011, there were 300 to 400 exposures annually, representing how infrequently theophylline is now used therapeutically. Caffeine exposures continue to decrease at a slow and steady rate. In 1998, there were 7390 reported caffeine exposures. This number has steadily declined: from 2007, with 5448 caffeine exposures, to 2011, with 3667 exposures. Caffeine, as a component of energy drinks, has only recently been added to the National Poisoning Data System (NPDS) of the AAPCC. Included as subcategory of poisoning in 2010, there were 308 reported exposures. The following year, the number of reported exposures to caffeine-containing energy drinks increased to 1610 and exposures to caffeine-containing alcoholic beverages was 131. ++ It is impossible to know the precise reasons, which may be related to underlying patient health as well as differences in toxicity, but the disparity between theophylline deaths and caffeine deaths is notable. The number of deaths resulting from theophylline remains at approximately one or two per year, and even though caffeine poisoning occurred much more frequently, during this same 5-year time period, there was only a single death attributed to caffeine toxicity in the United States. ++ The number of β2-adrenergic agonist exposures has remained ...

Governor Okorocha pledges to strengthen security
THE Imo State Government is to strengthen security in the state, Governor Rochas Okorocha has said.
The governor spoke during a meeting with traditional rulers, Presidents- General of town unions and Transition Committee chairmen in Orlu.
He urged them to work in collaboration with security agents to curb crime in the zone.
Okorocha addressed them at Rochas Foundation College, Ogboko.
He decried the increasing kidnapping cases in the state, especially in Orlu zone.
He regretted that barely two weeks after his Operation Rescue Mission / Community Policing was launched, about six people were again kidnapped and warned that government would deal decisively with criminals.
Okorocha was accompanied to the meeting by his deputy Jude Agbaso; Brigade commander, 34FAB Obinze, Maj Gen A.I. Danpome, Commissioner of Police Mohammed Abubakar, among others.
The police commissioner said an information box had been opened at the Police Headquarters in Owerri and urged the public to volunteer information.
Agbaso urged traditional rulers to expose criminals in their communities.
House of Assembly Speaker Benjamin Uwajimogu said a law has been enacted against kidnapping.
According to him, the penalty for kidnapping is death.

The Irish government is concerned that Britain is pressing ahead with plans to protect British soldiers from prosecution for killings that took place during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Irish ministers have written to James Brokenshire, the Northern Ireland secretary, expressing their concern.
Unionist and Conservative politicians in Westminster, as well as certain sections of the British media, have been running a campaign to secure an amnesty for former British soldiers amid claims that veterans who served in Northern Ireland were being victimized in a "witch hunt."
British Army veterans and their supporters claimed at rallies over Easter in London, Belfast, and Glasgow that there is a "legal witch-hunt" against former soldiers who served during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
The investigation of former soldiers has caused outcry among veterans, who contrast their treatment with the British government's decision to free IRA prisoners and reassure on-the-run republicans they will not be pursued.
It emerged late last year that as many as 1,000 soldiers are under investigation over 302 killings that took place over a 35-year period since 1969.
MP Julian Lewis, chair of the Westminster Commons Defense committee, said at the London rally that his committee was investigating the issue, but his early thoughts were a statute of limitations should be passed preventing former soldiers from prosecution over killings during The Troubles. He said the statute should apply to all sides in the conflict.
Separately, talks to renew power-sharing at Stormont have been given a further deadline following failure by the parties to reach agreement by Easter.
Brokenshire set a new date for early May, but that's expected to be even further extended following British Prime Minister Theresa May's call on Tuesday for a snap general election on June 8.

-Naia Mader co-founded River Kidz in 2011; today she is a junior at UC, Berkeley .This week, as part of my River Kidz series, I proudly feature Naia Mader. Naia, the daughter of Nicole and Donny Mader, co-founded River Kidz in 2011 with friend Evie Flaugh. Naia was only ten years old at the time. Today, she is twenty and earning a bachelor's degree in Society and Environment, College of Natural Resources, University of California, Berkeley. Right in line with her River Kidz training, Naia is also completing a minor in Public Policy.
I had not spoken in depth with Naia since she left her hometown of Stuart, Florida, three years ago. I was happy to hear that Naia feels River Kidz helped prepare her for her studies. Last week, I interviewed her briefly by phone while she was in between classes.
JTL: "Hi Naia." My having been born at Travis Air Force Base in California, in 1964, makes me feel like we have something in common. How do you like it out there in the Golden State in 2021?"
N: "Well, it was a shock in many ways. It is very different from Stuart. Now I love it."
JTL: "What was the first thing you noticed was different?"
N: "Mmmm, the mindset of the people I think. Like when I think back on how those adults were against us at the CRC. I think there is more support here for youth and the environment. People are more hopeful, less divisive. For everyone, there's more of an eco-consciousness. It's not negative."
JTL : (Laughing) :Naia that was incredible. Those were not just adults, those were very powerful Gunster lawyers -working against what you and Evie spoke in favor of "A Right to a Clean and Healthy Environment"- at the Florida Constitution Revision Commission in 2017. You and Evie learned a lot at a very young age. Water is the big issue here. What are some of the big environmental topics facing people in California?"
-River Kidz co-founders Evie Flaugh (11) & Naia Mader (10) 2011.-Evie & Naia, Tallahassee 2017. River Kidz advocated before the Florida Constitution Revision Commission, the Florida Senate, members of the House of Representatives in Washington DC, and various Florida county and city commissions. There have been over 600 members of River Kidz since 2011. Today's generation is writing the U.S. Dept. of the Interior and politicians to get the ailing manatee back on the Endangered Species List.N: "Water too. But it's water shortage, along with drought and fire."
JTL: "Yes, we read a lot about the fires in California. Can you compare them to hurricanes in Florida -where it's sometimes a little bit scary, and you hunker down and wait for it to pass?"
N: "It's a different kind of scary. In a hurricane there is time and you prepare for this big storm, but with these fires they are always kind of looming over our heads. It's more of an eerie feeling- it's a constant thing…"
JTL: "So it's more pervasive…."
N: "Yes, don't get me wrong, it is absolutely beautiful here most of the time, but still. I'll send you some pictures I took last year in September. Due to distant fires the sky was glowing completely orange. Its was like I said, eerie more than scary. And we are very aware of the AQI (Air Quality Index) out here and check it daily."
JTL: "What's the AQI?"
N: "The air quality index."
JTL: "Wow. I take that for granted!"
N: "Two years ago we couldn't go to class for four days because the AQI was over 270. It was strange; my roommates and I stayed inside. Sometime we don't go out to exercise."
JTL: "Well thank you for sharing about that Naia. I know people back in Florida are interested."
-In 2020 Berkley had twenty days of red flag warnings. Photo Naia Mader "outside" Sept. 2020.JTL: "Naia, like you said, drought is a big environmental topic and linked to the fires affecting people and wildlife. Clean water and stopping the discharges from Lake Okeechobee was the mission of River Kidz, so what is it like dealing with drought – not enough water? How is it affecting people you know or yourself?"
N: "It is also pervasive. And yes a shift. So I for instance, I had class with fellow students two days ago, who, you know, they have water caps imposed by their local governments. They can only shower with the full strength of the water for an allowed period of time per day and the other part of the day has to be on half pressure."
JTL: "Your'e kidding? Wow. I practice conservation, but I can't imagine having a government cap on my showering time! Has this affected you too?"
N: "No, Berkeley is not in that situation. But other places not far away from here are, and some of my friends experience it when they visit home."
JTL: "Water is everything…"
N: "Yeah, and another thing about drought, like here in California, it "never" rains, which is such a foreign concept to me because it rains all the time in Florida. For many of my classmates' families that are from California, the effects of drought are far reaching and they talk about it a lot and are very conservation oriented. But don't get the wrong idea, not everything is dry here, there are a lot green places too!"
JTL: "Yes, California has always been considered one of the most beautiful states desert or forest. It is a very special place. It think it's great you are going to school out there."
-Naia walks trails around Berkeley, always a tree hugger! JTL: "Naia, I know you have to go to class. Before I leave you, if you had something to say to next generation of River Kidz what would you say? Thank you so much for your time today."
N: "I would tell them to be totally encouraged and to keep on fighting, to keep on getting involved, to use their voice. I think that's the most important thing we can do right now."
JTL: "Last question. Did River Kidz help prepare you for – life – basically? Can you explain?"
N: "Oh, I think ten-thousand percent. Like I've actually spoken to Evie about this. I feel like the way I present myself in speaking terms, writing terms… How I see things from many different perspectives… I feel like on a global scale, it has totally stemmed down from River Kidz. It taught me to mature at a young age, not forced to mature but… being able to write speeches, understand adults, and know what was going on even if I was a kid.
And I feel like I've carried that sense of self over to being here a Berkeley. In class, I can speak much more eloquently. I know how to do presentations, speeches – I feel like I kind of have that down on lock.
I feel like River Kidz really prepared me. I also feel that on the environmental scale I have been learning about these big environmental issues from a young age. It's actually funny, one of my friends at school was learning about the toxic algae blooms in the St Lucie River/ Indian River Lagoon. So I was like "oh my gosh- that's my home!"
It's so far reaching…It definitely prepared me."
Ironically, today parts of California are experiencing torrential rains. I will be interviewing more grown River Kidz in the future.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has written to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) strongly urging the IOC to reconsider Dow Chemicals sponsorship of the 2012 London Games on December 20.
The letter to the IOC states, "It is IOAs considered opinion that Dow Chemicals should be removed as the sponsors of the Games. Because the very presence of this company is against the spirit of the Olympic ideals Even Britains Shadow minister for Olympics Tessa Jowell, who was in Delhi last week had asked the Games organizers to drop DOW Chemicals as the sponsors."
"IOA urges the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to urgently take this matter up with the organizers of the London Games and also convey our concerns to them and ensure matter is sorted out amicably keeping in view the sentiments of the millions of people."
The letter comes a few days after DOW Chemical agreed to remove its logo from London's Olympic stadium but the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said that it is not satisfied with the move and wants US giant to remove its sponsorship from the 2012 Games.
DOW said it was agreeing to the "vision" of the 2012 Games by waiving its sponsorship rights to place its brand on a controversial fabric wrap for the stadium. Environmental health and human rights groups have condemned London Games links with Dow which is liable for Bhopal gas disaster.

Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. Mini poll:
There is a (minor) point to this poll, but I want to collect some data first. And no, this doesn't mean I missed a meeting (it's not even work related).
Wednesday's meeting has been moved forward two days. Mini poll:
There is a (minor) point to this poll, but I want to collect some data first. And no, this doesn't mean I missed a meeting (it's not even work related).
Only the English language could use a word that almost always indicates "positive motion" to mean moving something negatively (or backwards) thru time closer to the current moment.
Some cultures consider "Backward in Time" to mean the future.
The argument is that you can see what has already happened, so therefore the Past must be in front of you, since that is what you can see.
IMO, "forward" clearly means Friday.
We're moving "forward" through time. Therefore, if something is moved "forward," it is moved further down the timestream. If something is moved backward, it is moved to the past, or closer to your relative position.
If you think of time as a highway upon which we travel, moving something forward means further down the highway; from milepost 23 to milepost 35.
Rephrasing the question slightly: a photographer is taking a photograph, say a shot of a product pack an advertisement. The photographer asks an assistant to move the pack forward a little. Does the assistant move the product towards or away from the photographer.
OK, this is a bad example because I guess "forward" can mean forward from the perspective of the pack. If the pack were facing away from the photographer, would the assistant move it closer or further away? How about if the object had no discernable front side?
I think the confusion arises at least in part because it relates to the relative positioning of two things. When we move "forward" we are generally moving *towards* the object of our perception. If we want the object moved forward, we generally want it moved towards us. By moving the meeting forwards, we are bringing it closer to our current point in time.
So, to link the two analogies together, when we move the meeting "forward" (i.e. backwards in time), we are assuming that the meeting is facing towards us rather than away from us.
OK, I'll stop now, because I'm beginning to confuse myself.
I'm with mneptok, but am surprised at the results. I love it when things I think are obvious, aren't. ;)
I'm sure there's some interesting analogy to be made with space-time, the speed of light and gravity. But I've no idea what it is. And anyway, I just wanted to check that you're getting my comments now Scot :)
If the meaning was for Monday, I would expect to hear "we are moving the meeting 'up' two days" rather than "forward." "Forward" seems to imply Friday as most of us consider forward in time to mean later in time as on a numberline or, as forementioned, a highway. However, to make things less confusing, to reschedule the meeting for Friday, using "postponed two days" would be better.
you are a cognitive linguist, aren't you?
Matlock, Ramscar, Boroditsky?
Thrilled to have found this blog with only one google. Our entire office has just had this very converstation/perspective and it was a great debate. Definetly seemed to be cultural influence as to how time is preceived and in what context in a given subject…fun!

Press Release – March 11th, 2015
March 11, 2015 – City State Entertainment is pleased to announce that the Alpha One testing stage for its eagerly awaited Tri-Realm™ MMORPG Camelot Unchained opened on March 4 th and has been in full swing ever since. C.U.B.E. (Camelot Unchained Building Environment), the game's unique standalone building module, is a core element in this phase. It allows participants to exercise their creativity to design and erect a huge range of structures, even when the test server is not running.
"The entire team is very excited about starting this test," stated City State President Mark Jacobs. "Our development plan was to start by building a solid foundation of technology. Having done so, we're now ready to increase our focus on gameplay and the three Cs, combat, crafting and C.U.B.E."
C.U.B.E. is a standalone module that offers players unprecedented flexibility. Using a wide and still growing selection of block types, textures, rotations, etc., they can build a virtually unlimited variety of personal domiciles, from humble huts to stately manors, as well as shops, castles, walls, other defenses and more. Available at all times, C.U.B.E. is extremely user-friendly and fun. As a result, the testers have already spent thousands of hours designing and constructing a vast assortment of structures.
"We're also tremendously pleased that since we are an independent studio, our alpha can be old-school, but with modern twists such as C.U.B.E.," continued Jacobs. "This means that instead of waiting until Camelot Unchained's design is almost complete, we can involve more than 8,000 of our backers early enough to help us shape the game we're making."
Camelot Unchained's client-server technology has already demonstrated that it will be exceptionally robust. The test server recently accommodated nearly 1,100 players and bots in a small battleground-sized space without noticeable server lag, and the up time to date has been a rock solid 100%. In addition, the team is building a proprietary rendering engine and employing a server-side version of Nvidia's PhysX system that will allow the game to have more accurate physics than other MMORPGs.
"When Mark asked me whether we could make the kind of MMORPG we both wanted to make, I said we'd need to move the boundaries of both rendering and networking technology for that to happen," said CSE co-founder Andrew Meggs. "Building this is a chance to do some truly exciting work, and our Backers have given us the time and funding to do just that. The response we have gotten so far has made all the work that the engineering team and I have done very gratifying."
About Camelot Unchained
Camelot Unchained is a crowd-funded massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a newly re-imagined version of the Arthurian/ pan-European mythos. The latest endeavor of online industry pioneer Mark Jacobs, it is a highly focused adaptation of the tripartite conflict for which he is widely recognized. The project's core concept encompasses three primary elements, Tri-Realm RvR, housing and a true player-owned economy built upon a rich crafting system.
Further information about Camelot Unchained is available at www.camelotunchained.com where pledges are still being accepted.

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for The Mandalorian season 2 episode 6!
After today, there are only two episodes remaining in The Mandalorian season 2. And after a full year of foreshadowing, Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) has emerged from the shadows to confront Mando. Disney+ has premiered the sixth episode of the season 2, and we want to know what the Superhero Hype community thinks about it!
Mando and Grogu finally arrived on Tython, to follow the advice of Ahsoka Tano. However, Grogu wasn't initially able to activate the Jedi Temple and choose his own path in the Force. Before Grogu could finish, Boba Fett's infamous ship, Slave I, landed on the planet. Fett demanded the return of his armor, and Mando initially refused to return it. Regardless, Fett's new companion, Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), forced Mando's hand by threatening to shoot Grogu while he communed with the Force.
Cooler heads prevailed as Mando agreed to a deal with Fett and Shand. Unfortunately, Moff Gideon's forces tracked Mando to Tython and attacked. In the chaos that followed, Fett was also able to reclaim his iconic armor. Both Fett and Shand fought side-by-side with Mando against a wave of imperial forces. However, Mando's ship, the Razor Crest, was destroyed from orbit. And robotic Dark Troopers successfully kidnapped Grogu before Mando could stop them.
In the aftermath, Fett showed Mando proof that the armor was his. Additionally, Fett and Shand offered to help Mando rescue Grogu. Shortly thereafter, Mando visited Cara Dune (Gina Carano) with a mission that could end her revived career in the New Republic. Mando wants to break Mayfeld (Bill Burr) out of a New Republic prison so he can track down Moff Gideon's Star Destroyer. Meanwhile, Gideon toyed with Grogu before ordering his men to stun him. He also sent a message to Dr. Pershing informing him that Grogu had been recovered.
The Mandalorian season 2's first six episodes are currently streaming on Disney+. Episode 7 will arrive on Friday, December 11.

Originally published by the Los Angeles Times.
Since 1996, the media have not been allowed to interview inmates — and conditions have deteriorated. AB 1270 would allow the media back in.
|A deputy passes a line of inmates in downtown Los Angeles. Under court order, the state is finally addressing the overcrowding problem by sending newly convicted nonviolent offenders to county detention facilities. But there are indicators that inhumane conditions persist. (Reed Saxon / Associated Press / May 22, 2012)
May 23, 2012
Until 1996, members of the news media could conduct one-on-one interviews with inmates in California prisons, giving the public a deeper understanding of what went on behind the barbed wire. This did not please the administration of Republican Gov. Pete Wilson, which was disgusted by the way some inmates abused this privilege to promote themselves — calling in to radio talk shows to complain about their treatment, or appearing on TV to plug their books or movie deals. So reporters were barred from holding in-person interviews.
"Why should some guy benefit from committing a crime?" complained J.P. Tremblay, then assistant secretary of the Corrections Department. "We did this because we didn't want to have inmates becoming celebrities and heroes."
There's no denying that in the intervening 16 years, few California prisoners have emerged as celebrities and heroes. Instead, we've witnessed what happens when inmates are locked away and forgotten, largely hidden from public scrutiny. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Courtruled the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Under court order, the state is finally addressing the overcrowding problem by sending newly convicted nonviolent offenders to county detention facilities. But there are indicators that inhumane conditions persist; hunger strikes have arisen to protest the state's use of Security Housing Units,where suspected gang members are isolated in tiny cells under solitary conditions that psychologists consider mentally destabilizing. Some inmates have been warehoused in these units for decades.
How bad is the situation? In truth, we don't really know, because inmates in these units have no visitation, telephone or interview privileges. A much-needed bill by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) would change that.
AB 1270 allows the media to request interviews with California inmates, including those in Security Housing Units. Officials at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation could still turn down these requests for reasons such as excessive risk to the reporter or prison guards, but they would have to submit a written explanation for such denials.
This isn't about coddling criminals, or turning them into celebrities, or helping to sell newspapers. It's about shining a spotlight on a corrections system that for too long has operated in secrecy and shadow, and about reassuring the people of California that the prisons they fund are run in a professional and humane manner. Yes, there is a risk that some inmates will use interview opportunities to promote themselves, but the alternative is to blindly trust an insular government agency to do the right thing without even trying to hold it accountable. That hasn't worked out too well so far.

"Disknowledge": knowing something isn't true, but believing it anyway. In Disknowledge: Literature, Alchemy, and the End of Humanism in Renaissance England, Katherine Eggert explores the crumbling state of learning in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Even as the shortcomings of Renaissance humanism became plain to see, many intellectuals of the age had little choice but to treat their familiar knowledge systems as though they still held. Humanism thus came to share the status of alchemy: a way of thinking simultaneously productive and suspect, reasonable and wrongheaded.
Eggert argues that English writers used alchemy to signal how to avoid or camouflage pressing but discomfiting topics in an age of rapid intellectual change. Disknowledge describes how John Donne, George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, John Dee, Christopher Marlowe, William Harvey, Helkiah Crooke, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare used alchemical imagery, rhetoric, and habits of thought to shunt aside three difficult questions: how theories of matter shared their physics with Roman Catholic transubstantiation; how Christian Hermeticism depended on Jewish Kabbalah; and how new anatomical learning acknowledged women's role in human reproduction. Disknowledge further shows how Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Margaret Cavendish used the language of alchemy to castigate humanism for its blind spots and to invent a new, posthumanist mode of knowledge: writing fiction.
Covering a wide range of authors and topics, Disknowledge is the first book to analyze how English Renaissance literature employed alchemy to probe the nature and limits of learning. The concept of disknowledge—willfully adhering to something we know is wrong—resonates across literary and cultural studies as an urgent issue of our own era.

Chapter 3. How to Skim Kabbalah
Chapter 4. How to Avoid Gynecology

Select Bibliography
"Rich, detailed, subtle and bold. . . . Eggert is fully alive to the duplicity of alchemy and its claims."—Times Literary Supplement
"Eggert approaches her esoteric subjects with deep learning, masterful analysis, and exceptionally clear prose. Scrupulous but never sloppy, Disknowledge makes us think differently not just about the history of fiction making but also about the forms of unknowing at the heart of early modern knowledge systems. It provides a compelling account of a society that experienced acutely what she calls 'epistemological risk' in the face of new global flows of wealth and learning."—Modern Philology
"In this sharp and original book, Katherine Eggert takes on the challenge of characterizing knowledge formation in the period between early humanism and the rise of Baconian empiricism . . .Disknowledge, in Eggert's clever framework, has its own methodologies for impeding progress, including conscious forgetting, skimming texts, or treating relevant knowledge as immaterial."—Review of English Studies
"Katherine Eggert's Disknowledge breathes new life into a topic whose quirky fascination in early modern studies has foreclosed more nuanced ways of reading the specificities of its cultural potency . . . Eggert's analysis convincingly shows how the alchemical expressions of disknowledge may indeed 'model for modernity a kind of nimble epistemological and literary inventiveness' that imagines how looking backward may sometimes be the best way to move forward, but not without risk."—Studies in English Literature.
"Disknowledge's vigour and curiosity are inspiring . . . Eggert's line of argument is usually stringent, always erudite, and all the while tends to anticipate possible counterarguments . . . a valuable, rich and frequently thought-provoking addition to its field."—Early Modern Culture Online
"Disknowledge is a stimulating read, as this book challenges and provokes the reader to think deeply about what we as historians have come to know, and why, inviting response to Eggert's stated position from diverse disciplinary perspectives. As a scholarly resource, Disknowledge is an important and useful work for the ways in which Eggert sheds light on the inherent messiness of the state of learning during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries . . . [A] significant work for opening up new ways to probe the project of knowledge-making in early modern England, and beyond."—Early Science and Medicine
"An unusually wide-ranging and original book, written with real stylistic flair. Eggert shows how alchemy, as both a discourse and a set of knowledge-practices, illuminates problems in many different domains, from transubstantiation to Kabbalah to debates over anatomy and reproduction. By using alchemy as a guiding thread, she reveals how each domain points up the limits of humanism in the early modern period. A delicately balanced, timely study that will be widely of interest to scholars of literature, science, medicine, and intellectual history more broadly."—Henry S. Turner, Rutgers University

Ornithophily or bird pollination is the pollination of flowering plants by birds. This co-evolutionary
association is derived from insect pollination, entomophily, and is particularly well developed in
some parts of the world, especially in the tropics and on some island chains.
Birds Co-Evolution With Plants
The association involves several distinctive plant adaptations
forming a pollination syndrome. Birds involved in
ornithophily tend to be specialist nectarivores with brushy tongues, long bills, capable of
hovering flight or are light enough to perch on the flower structures.
Flower Preferences
Since birds do not have a strong response to scent, they tend to be odorless. Perching birds need a
substantial landing platform, so larger birds are less associated with tubular flowers. Birds
may obtain nectar either by perching or by hovering.
Tubular and have petals that are recurved to be out of the way
Have tubes, funnels, cups
Strong supports for perching
Brightly colored: red, yellow, or orange
Odorless (birds have a poor sense of smell)
Prolific nectar producers with nectar deeply hidden
Modest pollen producers are designed to dust the head or back with pollen as the bird forages
Benefits To Plants
Bird pollination is considered as a costly strategy for plants and it evolves only where there are
particular benefits for the plant. The flowers that are visited by birds are typically:
It's nesting time! Birds are master builders, putting together intricately made weavings of twig
and leaf, stem and fluff, hair and moss
Take this quick quiz and see how much you know about hummingbirds. This quiz is intended for
fun, in a random-facts-can-be-cool kind of way.
This guide features regional native plants for the Great Lakes that are highly
attractive to bird pollinators.

Forgeron Cellars – founded in 2001 – is a Walla Walla, Washington winery. Marie-Eve Gilla is part owner and winemaker. The winery makes a full complement of reds, including a Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, and Roussanne.
Surprisingly, this 2003 Cabernet – which was released two years ago – is still available from the winery and in wine stores. It is an excellent, elegant wine that I would expect to only get better over the next three to five years and is worth seeking out.
Forgeron's 2005 Zinfandel came in second in our reader survey for wine of the year for 2008.

An international killer for hire, he prides himself on a "pro" reputation, only killing when he is paid to and only killing those he is paid to kill. He has been helping Butch research a mysterious infection that is spreading throughout the world's shadows- CFD, and taking out a number of prominent infected for good pay along the way.
He's young and proud, and touchy about anyone questioning his professionalism and rep, as he is still making his name- though he has the skills to back it up. Has a minor beef with OrkCEO as they've wound up on the opposite side of a few jobs, though he also seems to have legitimate respect for the bodyguard, and has on at least one occasion waited to carry out a hit until OrkCEO handed over a client and completed his assignment.

The Death of Superman is a prolific comic book story. It is one of the most celebrated stories in DC's repertoire and features one of the best character plots published to date. I remember how the ultimate battle to the death with Doomsday caused a market uproar of comic book sales in the 90s. That same story has now been adapted into an animated film.
The DC Animated Universe (DCAU) has always been one of my favourites. My own journey began with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. Since then, I have seen almost all DCAU films, save for an odd film here and there. I have also never really watched them in order, and I can safely say that you do not need to either. With that said, I will fill you in on the gist of what transpires within The Death of Superman.
The film essentially revolves around Superman's fight with Doomsday, and how he ultimately sacrifices himself for the greater good. The film, like many DCAU films before it, is not as true to the source material as you would think. However, it is a step in the right direction – which its inevitable sequel, Reign of the Supermen, should easily follow. Before I continue, I will mention that there are mild spoilers about Superman's fate in this review. However, I am fairly certain that most of you would have already surmised the major plot point from the film's name.
Jerry O'Connell (Justice League Dark) returns to voice Superman once again. The plot is a slow and steady build-up to an inevitable brawl between Superman and Doomsday. Before the third act hits, however, there is a lot of plot to wade through. As such, the film concerns itself more with how a very modern, New 52-inspired Superman, hits it off with Batman (Jason O'Mara), old love interest Wonder Woman (Rosario Dawson), and good friend Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion).
The film takes place a good few years after Superman has come out as the saviour of Metropolis, and more importantly, the world. You get a good sense of how the people pride themselves in calling Superman their hero in this film. Similarly, Lois Lane and the Kents (Jennifer Hale & Paul Eiding) also play a pretty big role in how Superman is perceived. The film helps elicit a warm feeling towards Superman's character – one that I have not experienced in any DCAU film to date. This is an aspect that plays really well into the emotional impact that the eventual Death of Superman has. Throughout, the film touches upon Clark's relationship with Lex Luthor (Rainn Wilson), and his budding love for Lois Lane (Rebecca Romijn).
In the continuity leading up to this film, Superman and Wonder Woman were an item. As such, I was curious whether that would play a big role in this film. Beyond a quick reference to their previous relationship at the start of this film, it never really gets mentioned again. However, given that some time has passed, it only made sense that Clark would eventually move on. Fortunately, his new love for Lois hit him hard; and it is wonderfully expressed in the film (right in the feels). In fact, all the way through to the end of the film, the creators managed to shine a beautiful light on Louis and Clark's relationship. A light that never feels intrusive or overbearing, until that fateful moment when it goes out… and my heart, along with Louis', imploded with grief.
I refer to the inevitable Death of Superman quite a lot. I suppose it is my own way of preparing myself to write about it here. Doomsday in this film is pretty much an exact replica of the Doomsday featured in the DC live-action film, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, before you get your pitchforks and torches out, let me calm you down with these six words of comfort: Snyder had no hand in this.
There are two ways you can look at Doomsay, but only one way that it works out: it is an exact replica of that fateful 2016 film, but it is also wholly different. The biggest issue Doomsday has in The Death of Superman, is that his origin, motif, and backstory are largely absent. However, where he shines is that the entire brawl between Doomsday and Supes, is perfectly choreographed and animated. The fight stretches out in a much bigger way than it did in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and also delivers much harder-hitting blows than the live-action film.
The fight is a spectacle. From his first bout with the Justice League, down to the last stand against the Man of Steel. The creators really manage to show how strong Doomsday is, and how far he will go to ensure the last son of Krypton is no more. The final blow, both from Doomsday, and from Superman, was perhaps the most epic part of the entire fight. With every gasp that filled the air, and the silence that set in afterwards; it was truly powerful, epic and severely memorable.
Another beautiful aspect of the film is its drawing style and animation quality. Let me be clear: I am not a fan of the New 52 style of animation and drawing at all. With that said, this film has shown me that even this kind of animation style can be pretty. With big names such as Nathan Fillion, Jason O'Mara, and long-standing DCAU Superman-himself, Jerry O'Connell at the helm, I thought it might be challenging to get animations and styles that fit the theme. Fortunately, this was not the case. The writers, inkers, and pencillers did a beautiful job at capturing and framing the essence of the film. It all worked beautifully in tandem with the animation, resulting in a superb visual showcase.
Although beautiful to look at, The Death of Superman is full of literal gut punches. There is a scene early on where Clark reveals his secret to Lois – her reaction embodies the rest of the film. It is beautiful how she ends up playing a much larger role than you would think. Furthermore, the reactions of every character, how they witnessed events unfold, and how everyone had similar, but different reactions all at the same time is simply outstanding. It is a strange bevy of emotions to behold. I cry a lot, and while I did not cry for the inevitable plot event where Clark died, I teared up for the rest of the characters, and how their emotions frame the movie as one of the DCAU's most powerful films.
The Death of Superman is a love letter to fans. One that is filled with carefully crafted animation, beautiful character development and enough emotion to break even Batman. Although Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is my favourite film in the franchise, I must concede that The Death of Superman a very close second.
