Best Shots Reviews: INHUMANS VS. X-MEN #3, DOOM PATROL #4, CIVIL WAR II: THE OATH
Happy Wednesday, 'Rama Readers! The Best Shots team is back to help you sort through this week's biggest titles, starting with a review of Doom Patrol #4 from Jolly Justin Patridge.
Doom Patrol #4
Written by Gerard Way
Art by Nick Derington and Tamra Bonvillain
Lettering by Todd Klein
Published by DC's Young Animal
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10
The World's Strangest Heroes return in a home run of a fourth issue. Gerard Way is still collecting weird and broken toys as his first arc of Doom Patrol heads to its conclusion, but readers frustrated at the prosaic nature of the previous issues will be thrilled by the fantastically bizarre and deeply emotional developments the established characters like Casey Brinke, the Negative Man, and Danny the Ambulance receive.
Though still not a team in the strictest sense, Way has started to draw the characters together in a loose net as they travel through the stars and deep into the heart of Negative Space, racing against time to stop the villainous Vectra from converting the universe into ground beef. Way's wooly style could still use a bit of trimming, but the emotions at play here in this fourth issue as well as a flashback containing the return of a beloved Doom Patrol veteran is more than enough to blast away the confusion around those hard to crack first issues.
Artist Nick Derington and colorist Tamra Bonvillain are still putting their best feet forward with their clean but packed pages. After melding the everyday and the weird in the previous issues, the pair completely let loose with this, riding the energy of the coming finale, delivering Italian horror film inspired bloody spaceship interiors and desolate alien landscapes peppered with Derington's knack for cool costumes and expressive characters. It may have taken a few months to make sense, but Doom Patrol #4 is finally revealing its secrets while wearing its heart on its sleeve making it well worth the wait.
Casey Brinke, AKA Space Case, is trapped on a space ship and on the tail end of a major existential crisis. I won't lie, this forth issue lays a lot of cards on the table, plot-wise, and it came not a moment too soon. Gerard Way, a student of some of the best and worst qualities of Grant Morrison, gives up a few of his ghosts in the main plot, but couldn't help introducing a few more in the issue's interesting, but altogether insubstantial cold open focused on a father and his fledgling sorcerer son's strained relationship.
But more than the developments, the emotions that Way employs throughout this issue, as well as his thesis about heroism and existence are what really makes this new issue such a winner. Casey, faced with her true existence and in danger, pushes back against her destiny while worlds away in the Negative Space, Larry Trainor and Robotman face Larry's fate as the Negative Man. Way even gets Danny in on the fun with the aforementioned flashback in which he and the beloved Crazy Jane traveled the universe only to face tragedy. Way is filtering all sorts of ideas about one's purpose, what it means to be a hero, and how people can come together due to shared trauma through the lens of modernist comic book superheroism, and now that most of his plot isn't obfuscated, it's a tremendously enjoyable and heartfelt experience.
Adding to the overall experience is artist Nick Derington and colorist Tamra Bonvillain, who both started this series on a high note and have sustained that high note across four months. Seeing the pair be able to completely untether themselves to earthy settings is a delight and pays off big especially in the scenes in the Negative Space which they render like a arid Pink Floyd album cover. That said, while their sets and characters are still impressive, its their handle visually of the more emotional scenes that again sets Young Animal apart, in terms of visual storytelling.
For example in the Crazy Jane flashback, Derington simplifies the panels, setting the characters in the center of the panel while Bonvillain lovingly brushes colors around them. And when the turn comes for our heroes, he hazes the pencils allowing the colors to stand as a focal point, as if recalling an actual dream only to rack focus on the horror of their faces and the divine blood that stains the scenes. There are a few more examples just like this one that proves that Doom Patrol continues to be drawn and colored by the right people.
Frustrated fans and readers can rejoice, for Doom Patrol #4 is the blast of answers that we all desperately needed and wanted. But more than that, Gerard Way, Nick Derington, and Tamra Bonvillain plant a flag for this series being the most emotionally vulnerable and sincere of the Young Animal line, telling a story of self-actualization, goodness, and coping that just happens to have biological Teddy Ruxpin like creatures and sassy robots in it. If you found yourself pushing back from this title during its frustrating genesis then Doom Patrol #4 will welcome you back with strange and weirdly comforting arms.
Inhumans Vs. X-Men #3
Written by Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire
Art by Javier Garron, Andres Mossa and Jay David Ramos
Lettering by Clayton Cowles
Published by Marvel Comics
Review by Pierce Lydon
'Rama Rating: 5 out of 10
Marvel's still trying to make the Inhumans happen. There have been some promising developments in Inhumans vs. X-Men, but there's a lot left to be desired. The conceit of this story makes sense, considering the effect of the Terrigen Mists on the mutant population, and the character work has been generally solid. But it's getting harder and harder to care about a story with barely any stakes. Try as they might, Charles Soule and Jeff Lemire can't drum up enough excitement for their story. Javier Garron is a good fit for the proceedings, managing the pacing of each scene well. But the coloring is a bit over rendered giving some of the art almost a carnival airbrush quality that is distracting.
Given where the Inhumans and mutants are at in the Marvel Universe, their conflict in this story makes a lot of sense. Obviously, any species facing extinction is going to fight to survive, and the mutants have been doing that for the better part of their history. But the Inhumans are the "brand du jour" at Marvel right now, so there's no way they're going down without a fight. Sidelining the Royal Family (for the most part) allows the younger Inhumans to take center stage and finally show that they are more capable than we realized. But even those shows of power feel empty. A lot of the plot hinges on the mutants not knowing about all the NuHumans and that just doesn't jive. The X-Men have served as the perennial whipping boys of the Marvel Universe for a few years now, seemingly only gaining an upper hand in any situation so that another team can undermine them. As a result, there's an element of predictability here when right at the halfway mark of the series, things start to turn.
Javier Garron's art works very well for this book. He's definitely evolved his style over time and improved his visual storytelling, and the script really gives him a lot to draw. He takes us from Canada to New Attilan to Limbo and back again very naturally. The standout sequence of the book definitely comes during his work with Karnak and Jean Grey. Karak is the kind of character that has such a unique powerset that it's tough to accurately make visual. But Garron uses it as an opportunity to give the book a different flavor than we've seen elsewhere. Unfortunately, the coloring leaves a lot to be desired. Andres Mossa and Jay David Ramos' work is distracting and overdone. Their airbrushed approach is suitable for backgrounds but underlines weird parts of the rest of the lineart. By following along so closely to the lines, we get weird effects like Logan's very distinct muscles and light sources that don't make any sense. Ultimately, it makes the whole package look worse than it is.
We're halfway through this event and if you're feeling a bit nonplussed, you're not alone. This reviewer may be letting the outside factors of Marvel Entertainment's reality affect their enjoyment of the book, but it's hard not to consider when it's hard-earned cash that plunked down month after month. Clearly, no one is totally trying to phone it in - there are talented creators working on this title - but there's a level of complacence. Nothing is really going to change. While that feeling is present in all superhero comics, the arcs of these properties are too well-known (the recent "ResurreXion" announcements didn't help) to feel the gravity of this plot.
Civil War II: The Oath #1
Written by Nick Spencer
Art by Rod Reis, Phil Noto, Raffaele Ienco, Szymon Kudranski and Dono Sanchez-Almara
Lettering by Chris Eliopoulos
Published by Marvel Comics
Review by David Pepose
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10
They say Marvel Comics represents the world outside your window. But it's rare for that view to be so scary — and so spot-on — as with Civil War II: The Oath, which feels a little too apropos given today's political climate. Serving as both an epilogue to Marvel's last event story and bridging towards its next one in "Secret Empire," The Oath is less a somber reconnection between Steve Rogers, Carol Danvers and Tony Stark, and more of the chilling final moments before everything goes to hell.
Steve Rogers is America's new top cop, and unfortunately for the Marvel Universe, no one knows that he's secretly an agent of Hydra. But as Nick Spencer has been following this changed hero in his own solo title, The Oath is a much spookier proposition — the foxes are officially in the henhouse, and now he's just licking his lips before he moves to the slaughter. Spencer has referred to Steve Rogers as Hitchcock-ian in the past, but watching a man draped in the Stars and Stripes delivering a speech about people's fears in the face of inclusiveness and progressiveness is a scary thing, precisely because it's so real. While it takes a little while for Spencer to ramp up to his crescendo, when he does, it hits like a sledgehammer: "You made yourselves gods and now you wonder why the people are ready to crucify you," Steve tells a comatose Tony.
Of course, this extra-long comic does drag a bit in the middle, in part because Spencer has to pay lip service to characters largely outside of Cap's orbit. Spencer gets into some neat metatext with Carol Danvers, flipping Marvel's hard push for the character as a personality trait where she's not just eager, but desperate to please. But like Civil War II as a whole, that doesn't make Carol a particularly sympathetic figure, even as Steve gaslights her into taking down an interplanetary shield that would likely be the thing that saves us all. Other characters, like Miles Morales, fare better, with a particularly poignant scene where the fledgling Spider-Man reveals he's constantly worried about his future, but some characters, like Hawkeye and Amadeus Cho, feel a bit like cameos, given the fairly hefty repercussions Civil War II had on them both.
The art, meanwhile, makes for some moody and spooky stuff. Rod Reis, Phil Noto, Raffaele Ienco, Szymon Kudranski and Dono Sanchez-Almara make this issue feel scratchy and dark, with Steve Rogers' chiseled figure cutting a swath through the shadows. Some of their imagery near the end of the book is about as horrifying as I've seen in a comic in recent days, because it so chillingly represents the wave of Naziism (or as the nitpickers might say, Hydra-ism) that has swept more corners of our country than we'd like to admit. That said, their art is built largely on mood, and the problem is, once you try to sustain that mood for an extended period, it winds up wearing readers out, with even a brightly lit meeting with Carol Danvers and the President looking unnecessarily gloomy.
That said, whatever flaws Civil War II: The Oath has, it's made up by the very real-world vein that Spencer and company tap into. We do live in uncertain times, scary times, times where trust in our elected officials is at an all-time low — and their actions aren't doing much to assuage that anxiety. It's that feeling of corrupted ideals and tarnished heroes that informs Civil War II: The Oath — and we can only hope that our world doesn't wind up looking like the one outside Marvel's window.

I always feel like the luckiest wedding planner on the island when the most darling brides-to-be reach out to me via the internet and we form an instant connection. This was absolutely the case with this charming bride. From the start we had a mutual vision of fun yet sophisticated event. We chose a lush venue with an amazing caterer. The food was served family style, giving all guests an opportunity to share and get to know each other over dinner. After dinner, the bride surprised the groom with a hula she had been secretly learning for months. The night ended with the most thoughtful breakfast in a box favors for the guests to take home.Read More
One of the best perks of being a wedding planner is becoming friends with all the wonderful vendors I work with. The story about how I met this adorable couple is a long one, but ultimately I became friends with the bride when she and I began working together. For me it was huge when they decided they had to hire me to coordinate their super non-traditional, day long love fest. From the beginning they were clear that they wanted it to feel like a slightly jazzed up version of how they typically spend time with their family and friends. The day started with the most beautiful and emotional ceremony I have ever seen. The guests gathered around the couple as they read their personalized vows. Literally everyone was sobbing tears of happiness and joy for them (including my whole team). After the ceremony, all the guests headed down to the beach for bloody marys, musubi and hand rolls. After all the guests had a chance to take a siesta and freshen up everyone headed down the street to the reception. We designed the reception to be a casual boho lounge. While the guests sipped cocktails and swung in hammocks, the caterers grilled kabobs over an open fire pit. Between the early impromptu dancing, the most heart warming toasts and the tastiest rice crispy treats known to man, the reception was a hit! This wedding truly lived up to what Love Letter Weddings strives to accomplish with every event. It was unique, it was extremely sentimental and most important, it was a true reflection of these two beautiful people.Read More

OCTO Pomona 2018
Classic Velocity
Every configuration was represented at the show. Kombis, Deluxe in 13 15 21 and 23 window versions, single and double cabs, panel vans, Campers with all configurations of tops, and even a fire truck. No two buses alike, just like the owners. The swap meet was the area most impacted by the weather, as few wanted their oxidized parts further oxidized. Which brings us to patina. Patina is in. There were a lot of buses with engine, suspension, and brakes up to relatively modern standards, but with the body in various states of decay. That decay was often clear coated to preserve it, or in some cases, an aging process was used to create the decay or the appearance of decay. Logo panel vans were similarly treated to reveal an old logo, or create one that looks period correct. Some real artistry was on display along with a good deal of time, effort, and money.
The following day was the Pomona Swap Meet. Although there is a swap portion which is all VW, this event is huge, and the show field isy acres of vintage iron from low rider 50s Cadillacs to Audi Foxes, to Delorean Back-To-The-Future replicas, to a wild shorty Beetle. Everything at this show was cool even if not always your particular cup of tea. The wild and wacky share space with the concours queens. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can help you grasp this better than words. What they can't help you to appreciate is the vibe in the air. It is a giant cars-n-coffee meets carnival meets swap meet. It is sensory overload. If your car is "special", and by that we mean special as in concours level or special in modifications, or special in patina, or special in paint, or special as in custom, or special as in weird, this is the place to be. There were plenty of "regular" examples present, but this event is much more spectacle than it is subtle appreciation society. Make sure you have good lubrication for your human neck bearing, as it will be swiveling a lot. The best part is that this show happens 6 or 7 times a year! I am told by devoted attendees that every show is just as crazy and vibrant as this one.
Between the two events, we laughed, we wept, we coveted, we scratched our heads, we were shocked and awed, we stood slack-jawed, we marveled at craftsmanship, and we expanded our understanding of what is possible, and we gained a greater appreciation for the sheer diversity of thoughts on the automobile as an art canvas. With two events like these (and there were many other events in South/Central California that weekend), and good weather year round (except Saturday ;-), you can understand how many consider this to be one of the global centers of car culture.
Yes, your eyes do not deceive you....

Thanks to Disney Hyperion, and the super awesome Me, Myself and I, we're celebrating the fabulous, fabulous Kelly Loy Gilbert's Conviction! Read on to get a synopsis of the Book + a giveaway!
About the book:
Hardcover, 352 pages
Published May 19th 2015 by Disney-Hyperion
But Braden got it wrong: his older brother, Trey, has been estranged from the family for almost as long, and his father, the only parent Braden has ever known, has been accused of murder. The arrest of Braden's father, a well-known Christian radio host has sparked national media attention. His fate lies in his son's hands; Braden is the key witness in his father's upcoming trial.
Braden has always measured himself through baseball. He is the star pitcher in his small town of Ornette, and his ninety-four mile per hour pitch already has minor league scouts buzzing in his junior year. Now the rules of the sport that has always been Braden's saving grace are blurred in ways he never realized, and the prospect of playing against Alex Reyes, the nephew of the police officer his father is accused of killing, is haunting his every pitch.
Braden faces an impossible choice, one that will define him for the rest of his life, in this brutally honest debut novel about family, faith, and the ultimate test of conviction.
Praise for Conviction:
-Kirkus, starred review
"A poignant look at the messiness of love, faith and humanity."
- School Library Journal, starred review
"Braden is a deeply sympathetic character ... a moving debut."

It was a below-par performance from the Toffees who handed the visitors a simple three points at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Wolves' opening two goals came from a needless penalty and free kick concession by the Toffees. The Midlands side were as good as their opponents were poor and were deserved winners on the day.
FT | #EVE 1-3 #WOL— Wolves (@Wolves) February 2, 2019
Three goals! Three points! Wolves with a fantastic win on the road. Ruben Neves opened the scoring from the spot before Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendoncker rounded off the victory. #EVEWOL
⏱🐺 pic.twitter.com/2l10VJVvbC
Just one place separated Wolves and Everton going into this one, as they both look to secure that coveted top seventh place, and it didn't take long for the breakthrough to come.
Leighton Baines wasn't expected to start after suffering with injuries recently and he looked off the pace from the get-go. Matt Doherty ghosted past him into the area and the stalwart responded by upturning the Wolves man for a penalty just five minutes in.
Rúben Neves has scored his 10th goal in all competitions for Wolves but only his second from inside the box, both of which have been penalties. #EVEWOL #FSLive pic.twitter.com/Q4gNYOIloi— Futball Select (@futballselect) February 2, 2019
Ruben Neves made no mistake with his effort from the spot, giving his side an early lead. Everton's defence didn't wake up from their early warning and only had Jordan Pickford to thank for keeping them in the game with a magnificent save to deny Leander Dendonker in the 19th minute.
Wolves continued to turn the screw but couldn't add to their lead and they were hit with a sucker punch when Andre Gomes levelled with a brilliant solo effort. Wolves had the final say of the half though, recapturing the lead as Raul Jimenez got on the end of a good set-piece, powering the ball past a stranded Pickford to make it 2-1.
GOAL Everton 1-1 Wolves (27 mins)— Premier League (@premierleague) February 2, 2019
What a strike! Andre Gomes breezes by a couple of challenges and powers a right-foot shot into the top corner#EVEWOL
Dendonker finally put the game beyond doubt for Wolves in the 66th when he was the first to react in the area following Pickford's deflected save. Ironic chants of 'sign him up' came from the Everton home support as an invading cat stalled play shortly afterwards, showing the fans were still in good spirits at least.
The Evertonians had little else to cheer about in all honesty, their side was defensively porous, full of clumsy challenges and devoid of creativity, falling to a humbling defeat.
There's a paws in the game to deal with a pitch invader. Here's the purrpatrator.— Wolves (@Wolves) February 2, 2019
👀😺 pic.twitter.com/1Ug5Ogruck
Key Talking Point
Everton just weren't at the races today and the fans will be bitterly disappointed at home to one of their immediate rivals. Defence was a particular weak point, they were far too easily carved open by Wolves from all angles.
Our defence 10 minutes into the game #EVEWOL pic.twitter.com/iRXcscLj5D— Craig Andrews (@craigo2201) February 2, 2019
Starting Baines proved to be a big mistake with the player costing his side a goal before being forcibly withdrawn inside 35 minutes. Things improved slightly after Baines came off but Everton remained second best and had little to cheer about barring the one moment of brilliance for the equaliser.
Player Ratings:
Starting XI: Pickford (7), Coleman (5), Keane (3), Zouma (4), Baines (4), Davies (4), Gomes (8)*, Walcott (7), Sigurdsson (7), Richarlison (5), Tosun (5)
Clueless with zero creativity in attack and vulnerable to easy plays in defence, sums us up #EVEWOL— AJ (@AJ_1878) February 2, 2019
Substitutes: Kenny (6), Lookman (5), Calvert-Lewin (6)
STAR MAN - Barcelona loanee Andre Gomes has struggled to make an impact for Everton this season with just one assist in 16 appearances before this game. The Toffees got a glimpse of what he's capable of here though and just when their side was in desperate need of a boost.
I hate to say it, but that shot from Gomes for their goal was unstoppable. #WWFC #EVEWOL— Kevin Astley (@kevtheman10) February 2, 2019
The Portuguese international received the ball on the edge of the area before dancing beyond the flailing Wolves defenders and rifling the ball into the top corner to draw his side level against the run of play.
WORST PERFORMER - Defence was a real problem for Everton and it was more than just the rusty Baines who was to blame. Both centre-halves were absent for large spells and Tom Davies was far too casual in the midfield position ahead of them consistently conceding possession.
Everton? Conceeding from a set piece? #EVEWOL pic.twitter.com/AUQZhQxeYq— Duke Silver (@Carl0sAlbert0) February 2, 2019
It's Michael Keane who stands out in that back line though, as he was far too easily caught out of position with that ball over the top. His needless challenge late in the first half gave his side a mountain to climb as Wolves scored from the preceding free kick after Gomes had got Everton back into the game.
Key Talking Point
Wolves, by contrast, were very impressive and they controlled the game away from home against a top 10 side. It was easy to forget that this is the first season back in the top flight for Wolves compared to Everton who have 116 consecutive years at this level.
You have to wonder if Big Sam is sitting on a beach somewhere quietly smiling to himself, #EVEWOL— Terry Casey (@tcliverpool) February 2, 2019
The organisation and handling of the game is a testament to what Nuno Espirito Santo has achieved with Midlands side. Whilst it was comfortable in midfield, Wolves struggled to pull away from their lacklustre opponents as Gomes' goal reminded them; it was a fine margin of victory at times but they got the job done.
Player Ratings:
Starting XI: Rui Patricio (7), Boly (7), Coady (8), Bennett (7), Otto (6), Moutinho (8), Neves (8)*, Dendoncker (8), Doherty (7), Jota (7), Jimenez (8)
Substitutes: Saiss (6), Costa (6), Traore (6)
STAR MAN - There was a number of top performers for Wolves they were everything their opponents weren't really all over the pitch. Credit to Joao Moutinho and Conor Coady for brilliant individual performances but it's Ruben Neves who has the honour.
Moutinho outstanding again.#EVEWOL— The Gibbonfather: Stay 'umble (@TheGibbonFather) February 2, 2019
He was the pendulum to Wolves' momentum in midfield, picking up the ball deep in his own half and quickly converting it to a pinpoint counter attack. The Everton back line couldn't deal with those long searching balls and he kept his nerve from the spot to give his side the initial lead.
WORST PERFORMER - The only underperformers that could be considered for Wolves would be the substitutes and certainly it was star man Neves who's shoes were the biggest to fill. Wolves were noticeably less effective once Romain Saiss was introduced for the injured Neves.
Marco Silva to be the next manager to be sacked, surely?! 😳 #Everton #EVEWOL— ©ou©hy (@bumsy_clastard) February 2, 2019
Wolves will be hoping that knock isn't too serious because they'll want the Portuguese star in contention for the run-up to the end of the season.
Looking Ahead
Everton have a tough week ahead with Manchester City visiting Goodison Park in mid-week before a trip to Watford.
Wolves face an FA Cup replay against League One Shrewsbury up next before a winnable game at home to struggling Newcastle.

In the mood to be uplifted by a beautiful rescue story, Green Monsters? If so, prepare to say "aww" over the story of adorable Backpack the cat, who was taken in by the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) earlier this week, after being found on the street. She gained her name after being found by a child, who took her to the PAWS shelter in a backpack to ensure that she would be safe.
Sadly, Backpack was "completely terrified and shut-down" when she reached the shelter, despite the best efforts of PAWS' staff to soothe her. She seemed too depressed to eat in the shelter. This meant that she had to find a secure foster home as quickly as possible, where she could receive the hands-on, one-on-one attention that she so desperately needed.
On her initial arrival at PAWS, Backpack was too frightened to look at anyone.
Though she eventually dared to show her face, after a bit of coaxing from her new carers, she didn't exactly seem too happy about it!
In PAWS' initial appeal for a willing foster home, they said, "Backpack is declawed and very clearly belongs in a home. We aren't able to evaluate whether she's good with other animals because of how shut-down she is, so her foster will need to separate her from other pets starting out." Luckily, an experienced foster carer, who was willing to put in the extra time and commitment to help this sweet cat feel safe, soon stepped forward.
And here she is now, in her new home!
Foster mom Michelle reported: "So far, so good. She has been here a few minutes and is exploring her room. Next up, something delicious to eat!" Now that she is in a loving home environment, Backpack seems to have totally relaxed and has become more friendly and sociable.
PAWS are caring for many other kitties who need loving foster homes. They said, "If Backpack's story touched your heart, please consider fostering a cat like her. We have several other adult cats who need to leave the shelter into foster care due to stress or illness. A change of scenery to a loving home environment will make all the difference in the world, and we'll provide plenty of support."
So if you live in the Philadelphia area and are in a position to help, why not let them know? You can also donate to help PAWS continue their work by clicking here.

Penn State's university-sanctioned panel discussion on September 5th, titled "Charlottesville: What Happened? What Now?" put left-wing hysteria front-and-center for any who cared to attend. While the turnout consisted of an entirely unsurprising coalition of minority students and self-flagellating whites, the narrative presented by the panelists was at once completely predictable and stunningly honest as to their views and intentions.
The panelists, drawn from the university's professional grievance departments (think anything ending in "Studies"), were completely open about their disdain and even hatred for this country's history, culture, and people. The overarching theme, expressed in a multitude of ways throughout the "discussion", was that America's base composition was one of thinly-veiled White Supremacy. White Americans, it was stated, possessed an unfounded sense of "White Grievance" against other groups, compounded with "White Fear" of displacement and reduced political clout. Why these emotions must be connected with the adjective "White" is a good question – likely, because it's easier to dismiss valid concerns when they can be dismissed as pathologically racist.
Cynthia Young, head of the African American Studies department, offered a rationale for considering right-wing extremists a clear and present danger to national security: In a given amount of time, she said, 48 Police Officers were killed by right wing extremists, while 45 were killed by Radical Islamists. One doesn't need to possess a comprehensive knowledge of demographic statistics to understand why Professor Young does not head the Mathematics department. You might also wonder why an accounting of left-wing violence was not forthcoming, but of course inconvenient circumstances like the attempted mass shooting of GOP Congressmen don't deserve mention in this context. She then ascribes to normal white Americans a whole host of "phobias", and rails against their refusal to see themselves as "problematic" or accept a demographic minoritization that she states herself will happen by 2050 at current rates.
Courtney Morris, possessing a similar pedigree of professorships in miscellaneous identity politics spheres, declared that there could be no "White Disavowal", that is, no distancing of yourself from supposed "Bad Whites" who are racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc. She demands and end to "Whiteness" entirely, because all white people participate in this supposed White Supremacy. Somehow, in a claim baffling even to the editors of this publication, even the University leadership participates in White Supremacy. Hiring an entire swathe of faculty whose only purpose seems to be denigrating and shaming white people must all be a part of the Nazi Party's secret program to establish Global White Supremacy, directed from their Antarctic submarine base. Snore.
The other panelists did not do much better. Beyond extravagant claims that White Supremacy is woven into the whole fabric of American society – begging the question of whether or not national identity is morally acceptable for any other groups – they did not offer much in the way of argument. Abraham Khan, Assistant Professor of African-American Studies, created in typical leftist fashion a metaphor between the constitutionally-guaranteed right to expression and the right to purchase alcohol. If the university is a marketplace of ideas, he asked, why should the community not decide "what is for sale?" The answer, Mr. Khan, is that your ability to control the speech of others ends when they refuse to obey your petty tyranny over expression of ideas. To put it to a tried and true Americanism, don't let your mouth write checks your behind can't cash, because if you think you can successfully restrict political speech on campus you've got another thing coming.
Khan also spoke of how "speech is a form of action", and his point rested on the idea that the goal of speech is action from others and, therefore, that the speaker is responsible for the actions taken by his audience. This type of rhetorical double speak is very common from the more nonsensical leftists, amounting to a complete and total denial of personal agency and responsibility. This belief is unsurprising, given that the modern Progressive movement is populated by people with poor impulse control and massive egos, who project their own personal weakness onto others. These people are the subjects of the well-established genre of "leftist meltdown" internet videos, and are routinely coddled, excused, and rationalized by the left's academic vanguard.
At any rate, a full account of the complete insanity emanating from the concentration of six leftist academics in one room is quickly going to become tedious. Whether it's Khan's assertion that the University has a responsibility to ban anyone he declares a "Fascist" or Jeanine Staples' declaration that "White Supremacist Patriarchy resides in the heart of almost every single American", the actual words being spoken increasingly take a backseat to the driving force behind them.
Behind these expressions of disdain for the traditional American nation lies a deeply troubling insight into the beliefs of the far-left. Having insinuated themselves into influential and completely useless positions in universities and public offices, they have gone to work constructing utterly fantastic notions of "White Supremacist Patriarchy". Now, we see from their own statements that they also believe they have the right to determine who can and cannot speak their mind. One hot topic of discussion was what the assembled agitators would "do about" the possibility of Richard Spencer or the like coming to speak at PSU. Beyond vague promises of "mobilizing several departments" in opposition or using a "range of tactics", Professor Morris expressed sentiment that sometimes, activism required "not using the hammer", that is, not using violence against ideological opponents, not because it is wrong but because it is tactically unwise. A powerful undercurrent of anti-White racial animus pervaded the entire affair, the constant bashing of anyone of European descent underscoring the hysteria and fanaticism with which they demanded the destruction and replacement of American history and society.
To spell it out simply: this ideologically radical, rabidly anti-White caucus demands the right to shut down any manifestations of "White Supremacy", makes a few quibbles about using violence, and reserves for themselves the right to determine what so-called White Supremacy is. In addition to this, these supposed professors of higher learning are perfectly willing to demonize everything that has ever historically-constituted the American nation. One may wonder, in what sense are rights to expression guaranteed? If leftists continue to have their way in academia, that question may be answered only with an ominous silence, or perhaps with the arrival of a Communist cudgel to ensure that such troublesome questions are no longer asked.
Let the reader be asked: How long do you believe the increasingly absurd demands of these radical academics and their followers can be accommodated? And at what point do you believe they will be satisfied?
From this two-hour immersion in delusion and resentment alone, some light may be shed on these questions. Their demands have reached fever pitch: "Decolonization" of education, to wipe out any remaining sense of American identity. Removal of public monuments, to eliminate the physical reminders that we constitute a people with our own history. Absolute control over public discourse and academia, to throttle voices of dissent. They cannot be tolerated any longer. They will never be satisfied until they dance on the grave of this nation. While the vast majority of students will remain happily unaware of the hatred festering in officially-sanctioned University departments, make no mistake that their objective is and always has been power. Once they take enough of it, ignorance of their demands will no longer be possible. Perhaps our only hope is that their ignorance of just how insane they will sound to others will cripple them, once their views become public.

text: Australia-New Zealand Foreign Ministerial Consultations Media release 9 February 2019 Today I met with my friend and counterpart, Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Rt Hon Winston Peters for our biannual Australia-New Zealand Foreign Ministerial Consultations. Australia's relationship with New Zealand is an enduring one, based on common heritage, shared values, and a strong trans-Tasman sense of family. The Consultations were an opportunity to cover the breadth of our relationship, from close people-to-people links and our common interests in the Pacific, to our likeminded approach to global issues. That partnership is nowhere more important than in our own region, the Pacific. Our shared commitment to working in partnership with Pacific countries to invest in the security and prosperity of the Pacific was a key theme of today's discussions. Australia's commitment to the Pacific is reflected in new initiatives such the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific and the expansion of the Pacific Labour Scheme. Australia and New Zealand's biannual consultations have always been frank, open and direct, and that tradition continued in today's highly productive talks.

Kunshan is a small town. it's one of the 200 cities in China with 2 million people. Just a small, tiny, village, right? The people here are reminiscent of small-town people with hearts larger than Shanghai.
On Sunday, we spent our day exploring downtown Kunshan. We met some of the happiest + good-natured individuals, I'm sure, in all of China. It makes such a difference when you visually are an outsider, let alone when you're carrying tons of gear, that you connect with the locals. I met a manager in the infamous noodle house, man practicing tai chi while flying a kite over 500 feet high, a man who just wanted a portrait of his dog, a man making beautiful lollipops, + lots of kids who just wanted to practice their English.
Here is a quick run down of our day in Kunshan:
- Yangcheng Lake-Sunrise but not really. Rather it was serene, calm, chirpy, and foggy.
- Sports Complex + Poly Theatre-Neat, modern architecture with a beautiful square of fountains, ponds, and perfectly planted trees.
- Aozao Guan Noodle House-Home to the infamous 1000-year noodle bowl. The legend of this bowl's long, never-ending, insanely thin noodle promises a very long life. Here I learned the longest phrase of mandarin I know: 谢谢你让我拍张照片 (Xièxiè nǐ ràng wǒ pāi zhāng zhàopiàn)...or, "thank you for letting me take your photograph."
- Downtown Kunshan-The people. I want to live here + create long-term friendships with these folks. Especially the tai chi kite flyer who was practicing for a kite-flying competition. You get extra points for tai chi while flying + he wants to "make the people of his Kunshan proud of him."
- Tinglin Park-Lots of attractions. Adorable children. Women in heels make big hikes to the top of Kun Mountain. So much pollution you can barely see all of Kunshan.
- Government Building-Kite-flying kids. Roller skates + lots of open space.

About Architect-US
About Architect-US
Discover why Architect-US is the right J1 visa sponsor for you and what companies and institutions we partner with.
It's even hard to describe how much I have already learned in
my experience with Architect-US
since my journey started seven months ago, how much I have grown both professionally and personally thanks to this experience. I have already done a couple of internships/traineeships before ( for more than a year ), the first one was prior to my graduation in Slovakia and the other one was in Paris after I graduated. Both of them have taught me more than any other job, especially the one abroad because it helped me to improve my language skills, broaden my horizons in architecture and design. I have also met so many interesting people and gained valuable connections in an architectural environment. Since my first day as a trainee at
KFA Architecture
in Santa Monica I have gained so much more experiences, learned more about my profession as an architect and it has also prepared me for having more responsibilities.
Different design approach
Thanks to my jobs/internships abroad, I already got used to different styles, types of architecture,
different ways of thinking, design approaches
. However, in my opinion in Europe, architecture/design doesn't change that much from country to country. In the US I had to start from zero because it's a completely new experience, wooden framing instead of concrete and bricks, different units of measure, a different style ( especially the architecture in Los Angeles ).
Working independently/multi-tasking
Working for a big firm as my host company comes also with more responsibilities, more projects, and opportunities. That's why it's pretty common that every employee works on several projects at the same time. It's very important to
manage your time to meet your deadlines
. I haven't had this kind of experience before so it took me some time to get used to it.
Technical/computer skills
Since this is not my first work experience, I've been pretty skilled and have been using many different softwares before. However, I knew that the American market is focused mostly on
working in Revit
. I haven't used it much before but I've learned a lot since my first day here. Now I can say that I'm quite advanced and I have also learned a lot about construction administration and gained some experience in a more technical domain of architecture that will be very useful for me in the future.
Social network
Working abroad thanks my experience with Architect-US, especially in a foreign language speaking environment is not always easy, however it allows me to
connect with people and architects from all over the world
. Especially in the US and big multi-cultural cities like Los Angeles, there's a great opportunity to meet people from various cultural backgrounds. I have co-workers from many different countries/continents as well. Thanks to my host company I've also been participating in the meetings with the clients and engineers, learning how things work and what is every phase of designing process like.
Finding my voice, confidence, motivation, passion
Day by day I am given more and more responsibilities and also the
freedom to be creative and make my own decisions
in the designing process. It has helped me enormously to have the courage to say my opinion, to rediscover my voice as a professional architect, my passion for architecture and motivation to work harder. This opportunity has also made me step out of my comfort zone and helped me to become more confident.The last thing I've learned in
my experience with
(a very important one ) is to never give up on your dream no matter how though the way to make it come true could be.

Inspired by the legacy of his grandfather of Jacques Cousteau, Philippe is an multi Emmy-Nominated TV host and producer as well as an author, speaker, and social entrepreneur.
He and his wife Ashlan are the stars of The Travel Channel's newest series Caribbean Pirate Treasure. It follows the Cousteau's as they travel around the Caribbean, diving into maritime mysteries, exploring pirate histories and investigating the lore of lost treasures. In addition, Philippe is the host and executive producer of the multi-Emmy nominated series Awesome Planet, now filming its fourth season which is syndicated on Fox and Hulu.
He is also producer and host of a three-part series exploring innovation for sustainability in business sponsored by United Technologies.
In 2016 Philippe teamed up with his wife Ashlan to co-host Nuclear Sharks, the #1 show for Discovery's Shark Week. In 2015, they co-hosted a three-part series with Takepart.com, exploring tiger and rhino conservation in Nepal called Treasures of the Terai.
As a special correspondent for CNN, he has hosted several award-winning shows, including Going Green and Expedition Sumatra. Philippe has also hosted and produced television programs for Animal Planet and the 8- part series Oceans for the BBC and Discovery Channel.
Philippe has served as a consultant on a select group of international resort developments where he advises on best practices for social and environmental sustainability and his team designs immersive and meaningful 21st century experiences that leverage local environmental and cultural assets to redefine destinations.
In 2012 he was the president and spokesperson of the US Pavilion at the Yeosu World Expo in South Korea. His firm designed, built and operated the Pavilion in partnership with the United States Department of State.
As an author, Philippe's latest children's book, Follow the Moon Home has been chosen for the prestigious Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List. In addition, he has co-written two award-winning books, Going Blue and Make a Splash, both of which have won multiple awards, including Learning Magazine's 2011 Teachers' Choice Award for the Family, a Gold Nautilus Award, and a 2010 ForeWord Reviews Book of
His conservation efforts are focused on solving global social and environmental problems. In 2004 he founded EarthEcho International dedicated to inspiring youth to act now for a sustainable planet. With a over ten years in operation, EarthEcho has established itself as a leading youth environmental education organization.
Philippe is a sought-after speaker having hosted and keynoted various events for the United Nations, Harvard University, the University of Florida, the Society of Environmental Journalists, The Economist Magazine global summit, and countless corporate events and global conferences. He has testified before Congress several times and most recently presented at TEDx Pennsylvania Ave.
Philippe and his wife, fellow adventurer and TV host Ashlan Gorse-Cousteau, reside in Los Angeles, California.
Philippe and Ashlan Cousteau hosted two seasons of their award-winning television program where they traveled throughout the Caribbean exploring unsolved maritime mysteries, pirate histories, and legends of lost treasures.
Each episode explored a new tropical destination and the unique history that has shaped it into what it is today. For hundreds of years, the stories of pirates and lost treasure scattered around these islands have captivated the imagination of people around the world.
With the help of local experts, historians, and archaeological institutions the Cousteaus pursued the high adventure of exploring the unknown; delving into the rich history of a region that for centuries has been at the crossroads of the New and Old World. Inspired by the legacy of Philippe's father and grandfather, the adventurous couple traveled from lush jungles and thick swamps to the beautiful coral reefs and historic shipwrecks of the Caribbean in their search for answers.
Each week Philippe hosts and co-executive produces a 30 minute riveting earth science documentary series that explores the most spectacular places – on the earth, inside the earth, and above the earth. Syndicated on Fox stations throughout the country each Saturday morning and available free on Hulu.com the third season of Awesome Planet will premier in the Fall of 2016.
Nominated for TWO Emmy Awards
Philippe Cousteau, and his wife Ashlan Gorse Cousteau travel to the Bikini Atoll to explore a marine environment destroyed by nuclear testing during the Cold War. The nuclear devices detonated across the atoll vaporized two islands and destroyed every living thing. Remarkably, 70 years later, nature has proved resilient and restored the marine ecosystem, re-populating the atoll with reef sharks. But since reef sharks are considered non-migratory, where did they come from? How did they re-populate these remote atolls? The team tags 17 sharks with GPS satellite tags and discovers that sharks do indeed migrate atoll-to-atoll. Tragically, the team also uncovers an illegal fishing fleet taking sharks from inside one of the largest shark sanctuaries in the Pacific.
PART 1: Rhinos
PART 2: Tigers
PART 3: Community
Philippe hosts 2 seasons of a series for GreatBigStory.com about the weird, the wonderful and the shocking creatures found in the ocean. As a tongue in cheek tribute to The Life Aquatic and therefore to his own legacy, this series is a fun and unexpected way to explore real science.
In partnership with Takepart.com, Philippe and Ashlan launch a new series exploring hope in the face of the global poaching crisis.
"The black market demand for exotic animal trophies threatens some of our world's most valuable natural treasures. Ashlan and Philippe Cousteau, along with the World Wildlife Fund and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, journeyed deep into the jungles of the Terai region of southern Nepal in search of wildlife. Join them as they seek answers to an important question: How has this impoverished nation stemmed the tide of illegal poaching?"
Acclaimed environmental advocate Philippe Cousteau and renowned author Deborah Hopkinson team up to offer a story of the powerful difference young people can make in the world. Meet Viv, who has a new home and a new school by the sea, and follow her as she finds her way in a new place and helps bring together a whole community to save the sea turtles of the South Carolina coast.
Going Blue educates young people about the earth's water crisis and gives them tools and inspiration to transform their ideas into action. With lively photos and practical suggestions, the book helps teens plan and do a meaningful service project that benefits our planet's water system. Along the way, readers learn about issues such as clean water access, coral reef damage, runoff pollution, trash islands, factory fishing, bottled water, and much more.
This elementary-level counterpart to the award-winning Going Blue: A Teen Guide to Saving Our Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, & Wetlands teaches elementary kids about the earth's water crisis and empowers them to do something about it. Filled with facts about our waters, their inhabitants, and the threats they face, Make a Splash! presents inspiring stories of kids in action and service projects for kids to help them make a difference.
I founded EarthEcho International in 2004 because I believe that youth are the hope for our planet and that a strong and effective environmental movement must be built through the next generation. I am proud to say that EarthEcho has become the leading youth education organization dedicated to inspiring youth to act now for a sustainable future. It was founded in honor of my father Philippe Cousteau Sr.

About Reading, United Kingdom
The Berkshire town of Reading has a rich and interesting history. It was founded at the confluence of the River Thames and the River Kennet in the ninth century and played an important role during the English Civil War and saw a number of its industries– including the cloth, ironwork and brewing trades – flourish over the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Today, Reading's success continues in some more modern market sectors, such as information technology and insurance, and it is also a vibrant university town.
One of the town's most fascinating attractions is Reading Gaol, an early Victorian institution that was made famous by Oscar Wilde's epic poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Wilde was imprisoned in Reading from 1895 to 1897 and wrote the poem after his release.
Literature lovers will be able to find plenty of other connections in Reading. Jane Austen was educated at the Abbey School, a building connected with the medieval Abbey Gateway in Abbot's Walk, while Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, was born in Reading and lived there for much of his life.
The Reading area also boasts a range of modern attractions, including Coral Reef Waterworld in nearby Bracknell. This centre is billed as an indoor "tropical paradise" and includes water slides, rapids, bubbling spas and more. Visitors with families may also be interested in visiting Beale Park, which is situated on the banks of the Thames and features wildlife attractions, river cruises and play areas, as well as regular events and festivals.
Visitors looking for some evening entertainment in Reading can head to a number of major venues, including the Hexagon, South Street and the Concert Hall. The coming months will see the Hexagon host comedy from Simon Amstell and Paul Merton, music from the Rat Pack tribute group and family shows including Angelina's Star Performance and LazyTown Live.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen. Its rich history spans almost 1000 years.
The Castle covers an area of about 5 hectares (13 acres) and contains
• Magnificent State Apartments furnished with treasures from the Royal Collection
• St George's Chapel (one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings in England and the burial place of 10 monarchs)
• Queen Mary's Dolls House, a masterpiece in miniature
• The Drawings Gallery featuring an exhibition (see below for current display).
During the winter months an additional five rooms, known collectively as the Semi-State Rooms, are included in the visitor route.
The Reading Lake Hotel is approximately 25 minutes by car.

You can�t get much more than three paragraphs into most reviews of �Forgetting Sarah Marshall� without a mention of actor Jason Segel�s full-frontal scene. Critic Jim Emerson, subbing for the ailing Roger Ebert, sets a land-speed record by cutting to the chase in his opening sentence: �Jason Segel�s penis probably would not sell a lot of tickets all by itself.�
Probably not. But it�s certainly generating enough conversation that the studio would be crazy not to incorporate it into its marketing efforts. (Emerson�s review, for instance, is titled �Members only.� Very clever.)
Segel�s nakedness is played both for laughs and humiliation. He�s just emerged from the shower when his beautiful girlfriend (Kristen Bell) arrives at his apartment for what he assumes will be a romantic romp, only to announce she�s breaking up with him. And there he stands, stripped of clothes, dignity and sexuality. Sure, he�s still got all his equipment, but for that moment it�s been taken away from him, if you know what I mean.
If you go into �Forgetting Sarah Marshall� knowing the movie is produced by Judd Apatow (�The 40-Year-Old Virgin,� �Knocked Up,� �Superbad�), you will not be surprised to see male genitalia on display. Last December, Apatow famously vowed to include a shot of a penis in every movie he made from then on, and in the entendre-laden �Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story� he even included a glimpse of his own, which sort of hovered over the shoulder of John C. Reilly as he makes a phone call during the middle of an orgy.
�It really makes me laugh in this day and age, with how psychotic our world is, that anyone is troubled by seeing any part of the human body; that is amusing to me,� Apatow told Hollywood.com.
When he talks about �our world,� Apatow is obviously referring to the United States of America, which is routinely denounced in some corners of the globe as amoral and hedonistic, and in others as hopelessly uptight. European countries routinely make films where men swing freely without fear of anyone storming the studio gates in protest. The Monty Python troupe once devoted an entire episode of its groundbreaking show to full-frontal nudity (more specifically, the lengths the BBC would go to cover it up), and finally fulfilled their wish in �The Life of Brian� when cast member Graham Chapman, sans robe, threw open the shutters to his bedroom one morning and was greeted by a mob hailing him as the messiah. Now that�s good for your ego.
The knock against the American movie rating system is that it has always been far more lenient toward matters of violence than sexuality, so nudity, which (gasp!) often leads to sex, is punishable by a harsher assessment from the ratings gurus than the sight of people being blown up.
I think we simply tend to be kind of giddy about this stuff: the �Seinfeld� shrinkage episode, Mark Wahlberg�s prosthetic appendage in �Boogie Nights.� Hey, it�s all about a guy�s relationship with his, uh, manhood. It�s very personal, but it�s funny, too.
The long-standing taboo on male frontal nudity in commercial movies, while women are routinely exposed, has been steadily crumbling in recent years in the face of what�s-good-for-the-goose arguments. For a time, it seemed the only name American actor willing (in fact he seemed to relish it) to be seen with his trousers around his ankles � from the front � was Harvey Keitel in films ranging from �Bad Lieutenant� to �The Piano� I�m not sure if folks perceived him as being fearless for his art, or just Harvey being Harvey.
These days, Kevin Bacon (�Wild Things�), Ewan McGregor (�Trainspotting,� �About Adam� and a bunch of others) are among the few actors who have made the full-frontal flash. Even Bart Simpson showed a little skin (literally) in last summer�s �The Simpsons Movie.�
If such things concern or offend you, rest assured that men won�t be unzipping onscreen with any regularity. Except in Judd Apatow movies. He said so himself.
Last Sunday�s Parade magazine posed the question of whether Robin Williams has starred in more flops than any other major actor. Columnist Walter Scott noted that while Williams has indeed played in some terrible movies, he believes Al Pacino is the mayor of Stink City. Scott then asked readers to vote for the worst movie made by either actor (at Parade.com).
After consulting with trusty IMDB.com, I can conclude that Walter Scott is wrong, wrong, wrong. Pacino has appeared in some howlers such as �Cruising� and �Revolution,� but most of his clunkers have been relatively anonymous pictures that left no lasting stain (does anyone even remember �People I Know�?).
Williams� miscues, however, have been titanic: �RV,� �License to Wed,� �Bicentennial Man,� �August Rush,� and, of course, �Patch Adams,� about an eccentric medical student who uses laughter to treat patients. The late critic Gene Siskel once said in reviewing this movie that if he�s being treated for cancer, he wants a doctor who can heal him, not one wearing a clown nose. Enough said. Worst ever.

Riverdance 2019 on in Gaiety Theatre
For over 20 years, nothing has carried the energy, the sensuality and the spectacle of Riverdance. The worldwide phenomenon which is Riverdance began its journey as the interval act in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, produced for television by Moya Doherty. This electrifying and innovative seven minute dance piece was then developed into a full-length stage show by Producer Moya Doherty, Composer Bill Whelan and Director John McColgan. With its fusion of Irish and International music and dance, the show broke all box office records during its world première run in Dublin and has continued to set new records in packed theatres and arenas throughout the world.

Products Application
LG Electronics encourages and facilitates our customers' efforts to lead low carbon lifestyles by measuring the carbon footprint of a product (the total amount of carbon emissions associated with the product's life cycle) and informing consumers how much GHG is emitted when they use a particular product. For more information about Carbon Footprint Certified model list visit Environmental Labels.
Regulated by the ISO 14040 series standard, LG Electronics built the life Cycle Inventory Database for eight products which are TV, monitor, washing machine, refrigerator, LED lighting, solar module, mobile phone and commercial air conditioner system in 2011. The graph below shows the result of the Carbon footprint for LGE's major products. In case of mobile phones, LGE discloses other LCA results.
LG Electronics puts great efforts into maintaining the highest level of material quality and product structure from the initial phase of product development and collaborates with recyclers to increase recyclability, ease disassembly, and product performance while reducing form factor size and weight wherever possible. As the result of the effort, we were able to reduce the type of plastic materials of approximately 12 percent in our Washing machine model (FR16WPW) compared to the previous model (FR46C5MCNH) and reduce the number of components by 4 percent through an improved product structure, increasing the recyclability of the product and ensuring ease of disassembly.
The compressor in a refrigerator accounts about 80% of the energy consumption. LG Electronics confidently backs the motor with a 10-year limited warranty. LGE's unique linear compressor technology has fewer moving parts, which creates less friction and saves more energy.
LG Electronics' innovative Direct Drive motor does away with the traditional belt and pulley system and offers a single, quiet mechanism attached to the drum itself and uses fewer moving parts and operates more efficiently, LGE confidently backs the motor with a 10-year warranty.
Also, the DD Motor has been certified by "VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker)" - German Association of Electrical Engineers- as a product with a life span of 20 years, the longest yet to be certified by the VDE. The VDE has officially certified that LGE's drum washing machine is capable of a total of 4,400 loads of laundry for 20 years (based on 4.2 loads a week and 220 loads a year).
