Skip to comments.A massive and illegal geoengineering project has been detected off Canadas west coast
Posted on 10/16/2012 10:44:29 AM PDT by Theoria
A private company backed by a controversial U.S. businessman has unilaterally conducted the world's most significant geoengineering project to date. Russ George, in conjunction with a First Nations village on Haida Gwaii, has dumped around 100 tonnes of iron sulphate into the Pacific Ocean in a technique known as ocean fertilization. The experiment, which is in violation of two United Nations moratoria, has outraged environmental, legal, and civic groups.
The iron sulphate was dumped into the Pacific back in July, but recent satellite images are now confirming its effects an artificial plankton bloom that's 10,000 square kilometers (6,214 square miles) in size. The intention of the project is for the plankton to absorb carbon dioxide and then sink to the bottom of the ocean. George is hoping to cash in on lucrative carbon credits.
To make the project happen, George convinced the local council of an indigenous village to establish the Haida Salmon Restoration Corporation. He told them that the project would restore salmon populations, leading the First Nations people to channel more than $1m of its own money into the project.
Critics say it is a "blatant violation" of United Nations rules, and the matter is currently under investigation by Environment Canada. Experts contend that the project violates the UN's convention on biological diversity (CBD) and London convention on the dumping of wastes at sea, which both prohibit for-profit ocean fertilisation activities. According to the Guardian, the news publication that broke the story, George claims that the two moratoria are a "mythology" and do not apply to his project. The Guardian reports:
George is the former chief executive of Planktos Inc, whose previous failed efforts to conduct large-scale commercial dumps near the Galapagos and Canary Islands led to his vessels being barred from ports by the Spanish and Ecuadorean governments. The US Environmental Protection Agency warned him that flying a US flag for his Galapagos project would violate US laws, and his activities are credited in part to the passing of international moratoria at the United Nations limiting ocean fertilisation experiments
Scientists are debating whether iron fertilisation can lock carbon into the deep ocean over the long term, and have raised concerns that it can irreparably harm ocean ecosystems, produce toxic tides and lifeless waters, and worsen ocean acidification and global warming.
"It is difficult if not impossible to detect and describe important effects that we know might occur months or years later," said John Cullen , an oceanographer at Dalhousie University. "Some possible effects, such as deep-water oxygen depletion and alteration of distant food webs, should rule out ocean manipulation. History is full of examples of ecological manipulations that backfired."
George says his team of unidentified scientists has been monitoring the results of the biggest ever geoengineering experiment with equipment loaned from US agencies like NASA and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration. He told the Guardian that it is the "most substantial ocean restoration project in history," and has collected a "greater density and depth of scientific data than ever before".
"We've gathered data targeting all the possible fears that have been raised [about ocean fertilisation]," George said. "And the news is good news, all around, for the planet."
UN officials will be meeting in Hyderabad, India, later this week to discuss the issue, including possible upgrades to enforcement policies.
And as Silvia Ribeiro of the watchdog ETC Group has noted, "If rogue geoengineer Russ George really has misled this indigenous community, and dumped iron into their waters, we hope to see swift legal response to his behavior and strong action taken to the heights of the Canadian and US governments."

World's biggest geoengineering experiment 'violates' UN rules
Good. The plankton will feed those starving whales.
One unintended consequence may be higher levels of methane due to increased whale flatulence.
AKA, the international equivalent of taping a "Kick Me" sign on the hall monitor's back. :)
"...raised concerns that it can irreparably harm ocean ecosystems, produce toxic tides and lifeless waters, and worsen ocean acidification ..."
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Ocean acidification is the latest scare technique.
Whatever the details of this project are, the United Nations has less authority than an anthill.
A) There is no global warming problem
B) the powers that be don't want a global warming solution like this, even if there was a global warming problem
C) only leftist fanatics are allowed to make money off of phony-baloney things like "carbon credits"
LOL Pay up, Algore!
I would call this bio-engineering not geo-engineering FWIW.
Glowbull Warming ping.
By 2017, the resulting changes to the ecosystem and the global economy had started having real impact, causing massive upheaval to human life, economically and environmentally. One impact was the great famine of 2017, which lasted until 2024. By 2020 most survivors had sold everything they owned, to the emerging god like powers, who had become rulers over the earth, during the upheavals.
Logan's Run?
I think this is hilarious.
To start with, these waters are almost sterile because of the lack of iron needed as a nutrient, so a little bit goes a long way.
However, the bit about carbon sequestration is utter hooey.
But something *is* being accomplished that will likely cause chaos, not with the environment, but with environmentalists.
That is, when you create a profusion of "low level life", like plankton, the end results is progressive bulges of life up the food chain. In this case, first of the small creatures that eat plankton, then of the small creatures that eat the small creatures. Then larger creatures on up the totem pole.
The end result will likely be something of a population explosion among fish. And that throws the eco-nuts off schedule, because they want to end fishing.
Now we know why we had droughts this year! ;-)
If I see a man wearin' a blue helmet I shoot the man wearin' it!
The hair on the back of my neck stood up when I read that too.
Screw he UN!
HA HA HA! I win! I win!... now what?
so the UN rules the world now?
Only one black guy in the entire movie and they make him wear a full metal mask and costume
This could turn out good or really bad
" Some red tides are associated with the production of natural toxins, depletion of dissolved oxygen or other harmful effects, and are generally described as harmful algal blooms. The most conspicuous effects of these kind of red tides are the associated wildlife mortalities of marine and coastal species of fish, birds, marine mammals, and other organisms."
The culprit in this case is not even the global warming alarmists, it is the legal translation of their alarms into carbon-credit financial schemes.
Greed is not fiction, but it always requires opportunity and often truly free markets don't create opportunities for it as much as does government meddling that creates artificial economic advantages. Wherever the government steps in, opportunity for greed and then greed itself often follows.
Screw the U.N.
U.S. out of the U.N.,
U.N. out of the U.S.
"The end result will likely be something of a population explosion among fish."
I wonder how long the 100 tons of iron sulfate will last? So yes, more fish for awhile. But the "right" fish? And in the meantime does the natural rhythm and locations, etc. of commercial fish get disrupted? (Like the normal salmon fisheries being near the coast - but now 200 miles out of reach by the fishermen?). I have no idea on fishing, biology, etc.
But hope these guys looked into stuff more than just "Hey - ya know all that iron sulfate waste we've been paying to get hauled away? Lets dump it in the ocean somewhere and watch plankton grow."
OTOH- if it works well - great! As another poster said, I guess we'll find out. And as long as the guys waits to see what happens without dumping more and more in, whatever bad (or good) effects the stuff has will no doubt be limited in time and extent.
VERY well put!!
10,000 square kilometers is only 3,821 square miles.
wouldn't it make more sense to spread the iron across the ocean than in one spot??
3861 actually...not 3821 (typo)
Well if the motivation is carbon credit cash...then I am not so confident they have looked into to it carefully.
How does this differ from our agencies deciding which animals are worthy of reintroduction into our wilderness lands? A private company chose to do this rather than get it approved by the Heritage Program beforehand?
Introducing wolf breeds to the forests or sinking a ship to encourage a coral reef to grow are similar, aren't they? Many of our lakes have annual algae over growths due to fertilizers runoffs. Man messing with nature or should I say experimenting?
FU, UN! We'll make our own rules.
But isn't this just the typical activity found in any free market system?
Thank goodness someone began to experiment.
CO2 is GOING to go up. India, China, et al, could care less what the environazis want. They will use coal because it is cheaper.
I think AGW is a hoax at present. However, there could be effects when CO2 is much higher.
Locking carbon up in plankton and sea life is a great idea.
If we discover problems, we can just stop the fertilization. Nature has run this experiment in many areas where land minerals are washed into the ocean and set off rapid growth of plankton.
Much the same scenario has occurred to me.
If this scheme works (sequesters large quantities of carbon), it could be worse than anything Goldfinger, Dr. Evil, Lex Luthor, or the Joker could come up with. Taken to extreme (and given the perverse incentives, and whack job characters involved, why wouldn't it be taken to extreme?) it could trigger a new ice age. For once, the UN got something right. This madness needs to be stopped.
Sorry, but, the UN never gets anything right.

We are really happy with how the plush turned out and it's really floppy and soft.
If you are as excited as we are about the Pokémon X & Y video game and the new mega evolutions then don't miss out of your chance to get this plush!
He is one of a kind and will not be reproduced!
It's starting on eBay at a 99p opening bid!
Don't miss out on this awesome plush!
Youtube Video:
Remember to watch the video for more details and a small teaser on what is coming up next!
Some things just don't translate well in to plush form.
Yours, however, is really sweet
When I saw the Mega version of this Pokémon I fell in love with it. I wasn't really a huge fan of Blaziken and always started with Treeko as my starter but this version of the started is amazing! I really hope they release more special events with the other starters as Mega forms.
Rick is strangely hoping for a Torterra mega form just to give that Pokémon more love.

JOE'S RANT: 'The Greens are lunatics, idiots, imbeciles'
- From: news.com.au
- February 22, 2013
- Joe Hildebrand has another rant on Sky
- Says the Greens are "imbeciles, idiots"
- "They should get on the next boat to Cuba"
JOE Hildebrand loves a rant on TV.
The colourful journalist identity has followed up his legendary Sky News spray in 2012 with a rant about the Greens.
"I've been at parties that lasted longer than the Greens," he said.
"They should get up, get on the next boat to Cuba, and leave the rest of us normal people alone."
Appearing as a guest on Sky's issues program PM Live, hosted by Paul Murray, Joe let loose about the state of the alternative political party, following Greens Leader Christine Milne's sensational press conference.
Ms Milne announced this week that the Greens' alliance with Julia Gillard's Labor Party was official dead over a political disagreement on the Mineral Resources Rental Tax (MRRT).
Hildebrand, who writes for The Daily Telegraph and hosts ABC program Dumb, Drunk and Racist says it was a silly move because that deal was cut before the alliance was formed.
"The Greens are lunatics, they are idiots, they are imbeciles, they are undergraduates," he said.
"The tax turned out to be a complete turkey, which everyone knew it would be except the Greens."
"Liberal democracy is a China shop. It's delicate. And the Greens are a giant, steaming bull running through it like mad little undergraduate children waving flags and preaching revolution."
Have your say

Well said. Watch Labor's vote rise as the Green's implode.... just as I predicted.

Wow, and this makes news?
blah Posted at 2:26 PM February 22, 2013
Who do we want to run the country, BHP, the freemasons, Ozmetals, maybe we should vote on that since the goverment let's the mining giants help write the taxes that suprize, suprize don't raise much money.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have been married since 5th Sep 1991. [view couple]
John Joseph Travolta (born February 18, 1954) is an American actor, dancer, and singer. Travolta first became known in the 1970s, after appearing on the television series Welcome Back, Kotter (1975–1979) and starring in the box office successes Satur...day Night Fever (1977) and Grease (1978). His acting career declined through the 1980s, but enjoyed a resurgence in the 1990s with his role in Pulp Fiction (1994), and he has since starred in films such as Face/Off (1997), Swordfish (2001), Wild Hogs and Hairspray (both 2007).
Connect any celebrity with John Travolta to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
His Jaw is HUGE its very unattractive.
He is not ugly, he is just...odd.
poussy, Travolta is bisexual(almost gay), get over it!
Face/Off and Pulp Fiction was his best films.
He is totally staying alive, man1!
he should do an updated version of greese
Better hang in there, Mr. Travolta.
Barbarino was dorky but a cool dorm.
he is still so gorgeous & talented!

I'm sorry, but no one liked the taste of this.
I really liked this soup, but I did make some changes. Instead of 3 cups water + 2 tsp salt, I used 3 cups vegetable broth. I used yams, but I always sub yams for sweet potatoes...just my preference. I had 16 oz frozen cut leaf spinach. I added half and pureed with me stick blender, then added the rest to give a little more texture. I added a little salt after cooking. I did use fat free half and half instead of soy milk. I, personally would recommend using only the 1/2 pound of spinach and/or doubling the sweet potatoes/yams. Honestly, the taste of the yams was pretty much masked by the spinach and I would have liked more yam taste. I will make this again with my adjustments. Thanx for posting this recipe!

Why We Ride
Critic Reviews
- Critic score

- By date
Although a rather self-congratulatory air intermittently hangs over the film, the accomplishments of the participants and the popularity of motorcycling speak for themselves, without the need for superfluous commentary.
An unabashed love letter to all things motorcycle, the documentary "Why We Ride" will surely warm the souls of bike enthusiasts while prompting many nonriders to join the fold.
The lovingly crafted documentary Why We Ride ultimately chokes on the fumes of bombastic self-seriousness.

Along with my steering wheel lock, my Jeep is safe on any parking lot.
Replying to the other comment, a brake lock is truly safer, because if a thief were to recognize the light as not a real alarm & can saw through the soft steering wheel to remove that lock, so your jeep is mostly safe though not totally with that combination.
easy to use
If the thieves want to get in, they will if you have the most expensive system. This just shows them you have something for them to think about. The stickers are a plus.

If you love to tinker with cars, the Topeka Police Department would love to hear from you.
TPD is looking for up to 10 volunteers to help with vehicle maintenance. Responsibilities would include topping off fluids, inflating tires, checking supplies and shuttling patrol cars to the garage for more serious maintenance.
Modeled after a similar program in Oregon, the proposed "Cruiser Detail and Provision Team" is expected to save money and officers' time.
Anyone interested can call coordinator Ben Clay at 368-9237.

I would like to transfer a
boost::posix_time::ptime over the network as a
boost::int64_t. According to A way to turn boost::posix_time::ptime into an __int64, I can easily define my own epoch and only transfer the
time_duration from that reference epoch as a 64 bits integer. But how to convert back to a
#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>
#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/greg_month.hpp>
using namespace std;
using boost::posix_time::ptime;
using boost::posix_time::time_duration;
using boost::gregorian::date;
int main(int argc, char ** argv){
ptime t = boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time();
// convert to int64_t
ptime myEpoch(date(1970,boost::gregorian::Jan,1));
time_duration myTimeFromEpoch = t - myEpoch;
boost::int64_t myTimeAsInt = myTimeFromEpoch.ticks();
// convert back to ptime
ptime test = myEpoch + time_duration(myTimeAsInt);
assert(test == t);
return 0;
This is not working since the
time_duration constructor taking a tick count as argument is private. I am also interested in any other way to simply transfer that
ptime over simple data types.

Health data on hydraulic fracturing are limited, say experts. Representatives from academia, government, and industry met in Washington, DC, to discuss the health impact of hydraulic fracturing, commonly called fracking. The complex process, which is relatively new in the United States, is used to extract natural gas from shale rock through horizontal drilling and the use of chemicals such as silicon. Major concerns include air and water contamination, as well as short- and long-term effects of the chemicals used in the process on workers and local residents. Speakers called for better collaboration among agencies, improved metrics for determining health consequences, and transparency and clarity from the experts and industry.

I kept a blog at Diaryland for years, and it's all still up. I figure there must be a quick and easy way to download all those posts to my wordpress blog. Using RSS only gets me the last ten. I tried searching the Plug-ins but I didn't come up with anything (I assume this is my fault as my guess is there is a term for this and I just don't know it)
I tried searching for "transferring blogs" "downloading posts" I even just tried seraching for the word "Diaryland" and "Livejournal" but I didn't get it.
maybe someone knows?

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (March 8, 2013)—The storied Peeps candy brand is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and a quirky new TV ad campaign talks about all the things people do with their Peeps.
Pennsylvania candy maker Just Born will produce more than 1 billion of the marshmallow chicks and bunnies this Easter season, but fans have come up with lots of ways to have fun with the spongy treats all year round.
Just Born calls it the "Peepsonality" of consumers who buy Peeps not only to eat, but also to play with.

Amazing Chicago's Funhouse Maze
This Navy Pier funhouse takes visitors on a 15-minute, full sensory experience that challenges and dazzles guests to navigate through a series of mirror mazes set in the great city of Chicago.
The Friendly Confines is the second-oldest ballpark in the major leagues behind Boston's Fenway Park (1912).
Today's Soldier Field comprises two distinct structures. There is classical stone-clad shell designed in the 1920s. Its contemporary interior is a 2003 retrofit designed specifically for the NFL's Chicago Bears. The original stadium seated 120,000. The new Soldier Field seats 61,5000 in a boldly asymmetrical steel and concrete bowl set within the confines of the original colonnades.
This rooftop overlooking Wrigley Field is home to the iconic "EAMUS CATULI!" sign (Latin for "GO CUBS!"). Unlike the other rooftops, the Lakeview Baseball Club is a private club, which means you have to become a member to purchase rooftop tickets. Located just beyond the right field bleachers, this rooftop includes a climate-controlled clubroom, 100 outdoor bleacher seats and two different levels that offer stunning views of Wrigley Field.

Having been a filmmaker for going on 10 years now. Jaysen has written 20 screenplays and directed many of them. He is also an actor who works with some of the top producers and directors in the southeast.
The first thing you notice about Jaysen is that he is an eloquent conversationalist.The next thing that became evident when asking about the movies he watched as a kid, is that he loves horror. Raised on the classics by his dad. I'm sure he will pass it on to his own son, and to us, through his filmmaking.
Don't Let The Light In is a good example. A tale of a young boy and his babysitter. As we are getting to know Sarah and Jack, the boy nonchalantly mentions that he has monsters in his room. Sarah patronizes the child but is surprised at what she discovers.

Micah Troublefield loves filmmaking. Writing, filming, directing, editing... whatever is thrown at him. But, his main passion is storytelling.
A partner in the Strawhouse Pictures gang of four along with Brian Oxendine, Anil Dhokai, and Chris Gervais. They have the ability and sensibility to make quality movies and that's just what they've been doing.
One of those movies is a short film called The Gospel of Hip Bones premiering this week at the Indie Grits Film Festival in Columbia, South Carolina. Starring Erika Chase, Ernest Bryant Hinnant, Benjamin Caswell, Patrick G. Keenan, and Janice Mitchell Wyatt. Co-written and directed by Micah and Chris Gervais it is a story about a couple of Mormon young men like the ones on bicycles with white shirts and black ties you see going door to door in your neighborhood. More importantly it is a behind the scenes look at these teenagers and some of the normal distractions of growing up. Such as discovering the wonders of young girls.
Here's what Anil Dhokai, a friend since high school and accomplished director/cinematographer, had to say about Micah. "Micah is a good friend and long time collaborator. His films are some are some of my favorite projects to come out of Stawhouse pictures. The humor and style of his stories reflect shows like Freaks and Geeks as well as early John Hughes' movies."
Below is a conversation I had with Micah last year.

"The film takes place on a world where there is no longer any life - just an endless sea of graves - and a personification of Death has grown terribly bored without any more life to take. When she (yes, Death is a "she" in the film's world) meets a hapless steam-powered Robot who has been secretly sustaining an underground greenhouse for centuries, an unlikely friendship emerges between them - but at a severe cost..." - Alex Thompson

Working with Josh and Kenny is unexplainable. They are the most understanding people. Being able to see the passion/love that they have for filmmaking in person is absolutely amazing.

They are two of the most amazing people I have ever met.

Are the health insurance exchanges -- aka "Obamacare" -- websites mandated by the Affordable Care Act safe against online attackers?
After the exchanges, also known as health insurance marketplaces, debuted Tuesday, users reported difficulty using them, to either price or sign up for insurance. At the federal level, White House officials blamed the glitches -- which persisted throughout last week -- on the large number of visitors to healthcare.gov, which saw 4.7 million unique visitors in its first 24 hours, and 9 million in total by Friday.
Sunday, however, federal officials admitted that healthcare.gov would require both code-level improvements as well as increased server capacity. "We can do better and we are working around the clock to do so," Department of Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters told The Wall Street Journal. Forthcoming improvements will reportedly include both software and hardware changes.
[ Find out how Obamacare could change how companies offer health insurance to employees. Read Obamacare: The Rise Of Private Health Insurance Exchanges. ]
To that list of fixes, however, the federal government -- which through healthcare.gov is currently supporting or running health insurance exchanges for 36 states -- and 14 states that are running their own exchangesmight want to add a handful of information security improvements.
Here are five top concerns:
1. All-Access Request For Other Sites
According to Nidhi Shah, who works on research and development for HP's Web Security Research Group, healthcare.gov uses an HTML5 header that allows any site to make an AJAX request to healthcare.gov, then see a response. "We could not access [the] authenticated area of healthcare.gov -- the site was overloaded -- but if this is the policy applied to any authenticated page of the site, it could expose the site to serious threats like cross-site request forgery (CSRF)," Shah said in a blog post. CSRF attacks, which have a place on the SANS list of the 25 most dangerous software errors (at #12), refer to trickinga targeted website into disclosing sensitive information.
2. Clickjacking Threat
The second major healthcare.gov security concern is the site's lack of clickjacking defenses. Using clickjacking, an attacker could overlay invisible elements on the legitimate website, so that, for example, if a user clicked what appeared to be a real link, it might run a malicious script instead. "To our surprise, healthcare.gov does not deploy any defense and the site can be easily framed inside an HTML iFrame tag," Shah said. In the past, many websites have used JavaScript "framekillers" to mitigate this type of vulnerability. "However, the introduction of the iFrame Sandbox attribute in the HTML5 specification has rendered that approach useless," she said.
3. Cookie Theft
According to Shah, healthcare.gov fails to employ HttpOnly, which restricts access to cookies stored on a PC, in particular defending them against malicious scripts. The site also fails to employ secure flags for cookies, which prevents cookies from being transmitted in plaintext -- which makes them vulnerable to eavesdropping -- by only transmitting cookies after an HTTPS session has first been established.
"Healthcare.gov uses cookies to maintain user history on the site and [for] user identification," said Shah. Although she doesn't know if the cookies will also save a user's credentials, an attacker could at least retrieve "sensitive information such as ... possible health issues, income level, and marital status," she said, that most people would rather remain private.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

42nd Street (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
42nd Street is the title song from the 1933 Warner Bros. backstage musical film 42nd Street, with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin. The song was published in 1932. It is the finale of the film, where it was sung by Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and ensemble. It was used again in 1980 when the film was adapted as a long-running Broadway musical.[1] In 2004 the song placed #97 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of the top tunes in American cinema.
The music inspired the title song to the Indian Hindi language film Sabse Bada Rupaiya. The song "Sabse Bada Rupaiya" would be used again in another Indian Hindi film Bluffmaster (2005).[2]

Open Door Youth Outreach Of Midland
Rating: 0 stars 0 0 review 54
412 W Buttles St. Midland MI 48640 USA
The Open Door is a local Christian ministry to jail and prison inmates, to the homeless and the hungry. We are located near downtown Midland, Michigan. We consider The Open Door a ministry, because we strive to carry on the mission of Jesus Christ. When Jesus was here on earth, He healed the sick, fed the hungry, ministered to the poor and outcasts of society and set people free. Jesus met their spiritual and physical needs. At The Open Door, we want to carry on His ministry as He guides us. The Open Door is a non-profit corporation, managed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We have volunteer resident advisors every night in each of our two houses (one for men and one for women/children). We are also blessed with a team of volunteers who serve in the Soup Kitchen, lead Bible studies, minister to people who drop in, and who pray for this ministry.

LOOK: Justice League Assembles in First Team Photo
Comic Books, Film
Top Shelf Productions is again celebrating Comic-Con International with a "Cyber-Con Sale," offering deep discounts on 150 digital titles, including March Book One, Monster on the Hill, God is Disappointed in You, American Elf and From Hell.
The publisher's "biggest digital sale ever" also includes Eddie Campbell's Bacchus, available now for the first time in digital form. (All of the Top Shelf titles are DRM-free, too, and downloadable in PDF, CBZ or ePub formats.)
But for the Top Shelf aficionado, there's this: comiXology's Top Shelf Treasury, featuring 172 titles — every comic and graphic novel the publisher offers on the digital platform, more than 25,000 pages in all — for $149.99. As Chris Ross, Top Shelf's director of digital publishing, said today during the company's Comic-Con International panel, that collection would give readers "a bachelor's degree in independent comics."
ComiXology is also holding a sale on other, less massive Top Shelf bundles: Double Barrel, American Elf, Lost Girls and Motorcycle Samurai.
The "Cyber-Con Sale" ends when Comic-Con does — Sunday. So you'll have to act fast.
The biggest comics news Thursday out of Comic-Con International was undoubtedly that, after years of debate, comiXology has introduced DRM-free backups of titles purchased from its storefront, with Image Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, MonkeyBrain Comics, Thrillbent, Top Shelf Productions and Zenescope Entertainment signing on to the program.
An email went out last night notifying customers that books they've purchased can be downloaded and stored as PDF or CBZ files, and pointing them to an FAQ on the subject.
"This has been an oft-requested feature," comiXology CEO David Steinberger said during the company's Comic-Con panel. "It's a real backup file — it's a fairly plain PDF or CBZ. They are high resolution, not a lot of bells and whistles, and my feeling is that people will continue to use the cloud-based reader to do their reading."
The other big announcement was that Marvel will publish Avengers: Age of Ultron, an in-continuity graphic novel by the Uncanny X-Force team of Rick Remender, Jerome Opeña and Dean White scheduled to arrive in April 2015, ahead of the premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
ComiXology is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a deal that's pretty difficult to pass up: a bundle of 100 titles from comiXology Submit, its self-publishing platform for independent creators, for just $10.
That's 10 cents each for comics like Wolves by Becky Cloonan, Aw Yeah Comics! #1 by Art Baltazar, Franco and others, nemu*nemu: Out of This World by Audra Ann S. Furuichi, Feather #1 by Steve Uy, and The Pride #1 by Joe Glass, Marc Ellerby, Joshua Faith and Gavin Mitchell. Plus, y'know, 95 others.
This year, The Oatmeal dominates the Eisner Best Digital comic category as "the one that most people have heard of." That's pretty much in direct contrast to last year, which was populated by five relatively obscure titles. It's a testament, I think, to the far-reaching diversity of webcomics, where few ever become pop culture superstars but many have devoted fanbase. You had indie-style comics like Ant Comic and It Will All Hurt, the haunting short story Our Bloodstained Roof and the classic Thimble Theater-inspired art of Oyster War.
The eventual winner, though, was the one that most closely resembled a traditional comic. Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover's Bandette (Monkeybrain Comics) was the first Eisner winner that had to be downloaded from comiXology — a true "digital comic" as opposed to a "webcomic." I imagine that the familiar panel layout was the one least likely to send traditionalists into paroxysms. Heck, the tone of the story itself feels very much like a throwback to both Silver Age comic stories and European all-ages fare like The Adventures of Tintin. But so what? It's old school, and in a way that made it refreshingly novel.
The announcement late last month that digital distributor Graphicly would close and its key employees join self-publishing platform Blurb was met immediately by questions, many of which centered on whether the company's clients will be paid what they're owed.
Originally envisioned as "iTunes for comics," Boulder, Colorado-based Graphicly was soon overshadowed by competitor comiXology, and in 2012 shuttered its comics app to focus instead on providing visually based books and comics to eBook platforms. In its most recent incarnation, Graphicly was a digital conversion and distribution service: For a fee of $150, the company would convert a comic to ePub and other formats and distribute it to digital platforms such as Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook and Apple's iBooks. Graphicly would then act as middleman, collecting money from sales on those platforms and passing it along to the creators. Unlike other digital comics distributors, Graphicly didn't take a cut of sales on eBook platforms, just the upfront fee.
Since Graphicly announced its closing on May 27, a number of creators have asserted publicly that the company wasn't tracking sales correctly and hasn't paid them what they're owed from sales. Bleeding Cool spoke to Dave Dellecese and representatives of Th3rd World Studios, as well as a former Graphicly employee. At The Beat, Marc Ellerby and Mike Garley told similar stories, and Eric Grissom and Dara Naraghi added their names in the comments. Ellerby tweeted:
More than 500 volumes of such top-selling manga as One Piece, Naruto and Death Note debuted today on comiXology as part of a new North American distribution agreement with Viz Media.
The publisher, which already had its own self-contained app for multiple platforms, brought its digital catalog to the Amazon Kindle in October; just days later, comiXology announced a deal to distribute titles from Viz Media Europe and its subsidiary Kazé to French-speaking European countries. Amazon purchased comiXology in April.
Nearly two months after Amazon announced the purchase of comiXology, the first title from the retail giant's Jet City Comics imprint has debuted on the digital comics platform.
Wool: The Graphic Novel, an adaptation of the bestselling sci-fi novel by Hugh Howey, will be serialized in six biweekly issues beginning today on comiXology for $2.99 each. The full run is also available for $4.99 on Amazon.com as a Kindle Serial, with new issues arriving on the same schedule; comiXology will offer a $4.99 bundle once all six installments have been released.
A dark, dystopian story set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, Wool was published in 2011 by Howey as a novelette through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system. As it attracted a following, he wrote more installments, which became the bestselling Silo Series. The graphic novel is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray and illustrated by Jimmy Broxton; a print edition will be released in August.
Amazon launched its Jet City imprint in July 2013, intending to serialize its titles for the Kindle, and then offer bundled digital editions and print collections. Naturally with the acquisition of comiXology in April, the distribution channels expanded.
While many of us spent Monday barbecuing, watching X-Men: Days of Future Past or otherwise enjoying the day off from work, comiXology got a jump on the season with the launch of its "Summer Reading List," offering one free digital comic a day for 20 days.
The initiative debuted with Detective Comics #827, by Scott Snyder, Jock and Francesco Francavilla, the issue that began the writer's celebrated run on Batman. What's today's selection? It's a good question, one that should be answered any … second … now.
Last year at Comic-Con International, comixology teamed with The Hero Initiative for an event that drew in top industry names to create The Blank Page Project, a massive jam board filled with sketches and signatures, all to benefit the nonprofit organization. One source says the mural is 10 feet by 12 feet, and another says it's 9 feet by 13 feet. Whatever the case, it's big, and it's now up for auction by Heritage Auctions.
Among the contributors to the piece are Tim Bradstreet, Jeffrey Brown, Mark Buckinham, Chris Burnham, Amanda Conner, Colleen Coover, Paul Cornell, Nick Dragotta, Kevin Eastman, Ulisies Farinas, Christos Gage, Sterling Gates, Dave Gibbons, Steven Grant, Lea Hernandez, Phil Jimenez, Denis Kitchen, Ron Marz, Bill Morrison, Jerry Ordway, Jimmy Palmiotti, George Perez, Nate Powell, Norm Rapmund, Stjepan Sejic, Walt Simonson, Bruce Timm, Paul Tobin and Mark Waid.
See the full piece below. Online bidding continues through May 15; the auction will be held May 15-17 in Dallas.
Publishing | I talked with TOON Books founder Francoise Mouly about her new imprint, TOON Graphics, which will feature "visual books" (picture books and comics) for readers ages 8 and up. The line launches with three titles: Theseus and the Minotaur, by Yves Pommaux, Cast Away on the Letter A, by Fred, and Hansel and Gretel, retold by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Lorenzo Mattotti. [Publishers Weekly]
Commentary | Former DC Comics senior editor Joan Hilty tackles the issue of sexism in comics and calls for publishers to include more women in their senior editorial rank:. "Women are getting the bestselling books into stores and greenlighting the million-dollar movie franchises, but they're barely represented among the creative executives who map out the universes and storytelling strategies. That's where you cement broad-based, long-term loyalty to authors and characters, tap new audiences and trends, and grow readership, without which none of those books or movies would exist." [The Guardian]
Digital comics | Aces Weekly, the digital comics anthology spearheaded by V for Vendetta artist David Lloyd, will make its back issues available through comiXology. [Pipedream Comics]
Creators | Robot 6 contributor J. Caleb Mozzocco interviews Danica Novgorodoff about The Undertaking of Lily Chen, her graphic novel about a young man who sets out to find a female corpse to be buried with his dead brother—and winds up with a woman who is very much alive. [Good Comics for Kids]
Creators | Audrey Niffenegger, author of the prose novel The Time Traveler's Wife and the graphic novel The Night Bookmobile, describes how she collaborated with Eddie Campbell to make a comic for special comics issue of The Guardian's Weekend magazine. [The Guardian]
I used to wake up every Wednesday, grab my iPad and start downloading comics via comiXology before getting out of bed. Apparently those days are over, and I'll now be … well, hitting a different button to make my purchases, then jumping back over to comiXology to actually download them.
If you missed it, comiXology implemented what many predicted would happen when they were bought by Amazon — they've removed their storefront from their iOS apps and are instructing iPad and iPhone customers to go to their website to purchase comics. Android users will also see a change, as comiXology removed the ability to pay through Google and added the ability to pay with either a credit card or PayPal. It's nice that on the Android side they have the option to add their own shopping cart, but of course, with iOS devices, there's only one way to pay, and that way involves 30 percent of the sale going to Apple.
Manga | The 13 volumes to date of Hajime Isayama's dystopian fantasy Attack on Titan have sold a combined 30.37 million copies in Japan, making the manga only the third series to do so since market research firm Oricon began tracking the numbers in 2009 (the first two were, of course, mega-hits One Piece and Naruto). [Anime News Network]
Digital comics | John Casteele considers the acquisition of comiXology from Amazon's point of view: "It's easy to see how the ComiXology purchase is going to benefit Amazon. Access to the ComiXology platform not only provides the company with additional revenues from the growing digital comics market and to the comic series that had the highest-selling single issue in 2013 (The Walking Dead, which also had five of the top 10 best-selling graphic novels for the year). It could also provide synergy with Jet City Comics and the Kindle, giving both access to the ComiXology publishing platform. Amazon could also use its Kindle platform to further refine the ComiXology's 'Comics' app, which is already available for the Kindle Fire but might enjoy more direct integration in the future." [Business Insider]
Conventions | The organizers of the Supanova pop culture festival in Melbourne, Australia, triggered a social-media firestorm after removing a comic by artist Scarlette Baccini from her table because of explicit sexual content. The festival has a strict ban on pornography, and other adult material must be kept sealed and away from children. One of the organizers stopped by Baccini's table, flipped through her Jesus Reloadeth'd, and saw a drawing of two men having sex, so he removed the comic. Baccini posted about the incident on Facebook, triggering accusations of homophobia against the event organizers. However, they responded that the issue was the explicitness of the image, not that it depicted two men. [SameSame]
Auctions | A rare copy of The Beano #1 from July 1938 — only about 25 copies are believed to exist — is being auctioned on eBay by Seaford, England, dealer Phil Shrimpton. With just four days remaining, the opening bid of £3,499 (about $5,875 U.S.) has yet to be met. As you can see on the website, the copy certainly isn't in the best shape. The issue, which sold a reported 442,963 copies when it was released, introduced such characters as original cover star Big Eggo the ostrich, Lord Snooty, Wee Peem and Ping the Elastic Man (the racist caricature in the magazine's logo is Little Peanut, who stuck around on the cover until 1947, when he was replaced by Big Eggo). "Every year or so another one seems to emerge – often found in someone's attic," Shrimpton says. "People didn't really look at comics as collector's items until the sixties and seventies, so lots of them got destroyed. Also a lot of the comics were destroyed during the war as people were more conscious about recycling the old issues." [The Argus]

I know that frame-rates above 60fps all look the same to the human eye. Is that true? Why? If so, why do graphics cards boast anything higher than that?
Eyes? No. Humans? Yes.
You'd be hard pressed to get 60fps out of the human eye.
However, this little factoid is not the frame rate specification for human vision.
That would suck.
Fortunately, the human eye is more than a camera* with fat pipe connection to the brain.
Human vision does not have properties like frame rate, latency, resolution, et al.
Time is relative...
The Bottom Line...
Human vision is not bound by frame rate.
Source of all quotes: Visual stability, References
*Actually comparing the human eye to a camera is like comparing a thermonuclear weapon to a pen-knife.
Yes, the eye can distinguish frame rates above 60 Hz. So can the brain. We are just not normally aware of it.
Conscious perception of flicker is measured in laboratories using the critical flicker frequency (CFF) threshold, which is the lowest frequency of flickering light (Hz) that produces the appearance of steady light in an individual. It's a probabilistic statistic that is estimated by testing an individual -- it depends on the individual and the testing methods. And the same person will have a different CFF depending on factors including fatigue.
Here is a pretty typical CFF plot (from Hartmann, E., B. Lachenmayr, and H. Brettel. "The peripheral critical flicker frequency." Vision research 19.9 (1979): 1019-1023.) showing how one person's CFF (the y-axis) varies at different visual eccentricities (the x-axis, greater eccentricities meaning looking at it less and less directly) and lighting levels (the different points and lines.)
As you can see, this person is around 60 Hz CFF in bright illumination when the flicker is around 15 visual degrees away from the center of their vision. This suggests that many people should be able to see the flicker of CRT monitors with 60 Hz refresh rates. They can. (As others have noted here, this is not possible with LCD monitors because LCD monitors do not flicker.)
Why isn't CFF even higher at these peak conditions? Good question. The bottleneck in consciously seeing flicker is not necessarily the human eye or even the thalamus or the cortex. The eye can transmit flicker well above 60 Hz to the thalamus and cortex. Lots of neurons can fire well above 100 Hz. And we can even measure neural response to high frequency flicker. Here are a few papers doing this:
Herrmann, Christoph S. "Human EEG responses to 1–100 Hz flicker: resonance phenomena in visual cortex and their potential correlation to cognitive phenomena." Experimental brain research 137.3 (2001): 346-353.:
Williams, Patrick E., et al. "Entrainment to video displays in primary visual cortex of macaque and humans." The Journal of neuroscience 24.38 (2004): 8278-8288:
Macaque monkeys: Of 92 cells in the primary visual cortex exposed to a 100 Hz refresh, 21 (23%) significantly phase locked to high-contrast stimuli.
Humans: Responses measured using scalp EEG were seen at 72 Hz in some, but not all, observers.
Krolak‐Salmon, Pierre, et al. "Human lateral geniculate nucleus and visual cortex respond to screen flicker." Annals of neurology 53.1 (2003): 73-80.:
So if the information is in the brain, why can't we perceive it? We don't really know. The simplest theory might be that these signals are just too weak. But it seems unlikely that we could record something with electrodes on the scalp that isn't strong in the brain.
It is also worth noting that our ability to perceive flicker is a side effect of our ability to perceive motion. Most motion perception takes place in situations where we have other information about the moving objects. Flicker perception as measured with CFF threshold or as noticed with monitor refresh rates is a strange edge case. It likely made little evolutionary sense to optimize this ability when we could already, for example, see most fast moving natural objects well enough to catch them. So you might invert the argument and ask why should we humans have bothered to see fast flicker?
Perhaps the most interesting possibility is that this may be a limitation of consciousness itself. An initial intuition is that conscious perception will likely be slower than the low-level processes it relies on. Because different types of perceptual processes have different computational demands, they take different durations to compute. Thus, combining perceptual processing in consciousness may be slowed by rate limiting steps. Alex Holcombe wrote a nice paper a few years ago summarizing the literature on temporal limits on visual perception of different kinds of stimuli. Moreover, Rufin VanRullen and Christof Koch have argued that conscious perception occurs in discrete batches. They don't think it is perfectly regular, but rather quasi-periodic and determined by the task at hand. Still, they are essentially arguing that consciousness itself has a refresh rate.
The human eye is not able to distinguish between 60 Hz and 100 Hz when only watching (even less could suffice provided the image is prepared correctly, as evidenced by movies projected at 24 Hz in the theather), but there is a distinction when interacting - you can notice the response is faster even beyond 60 Hz. This is augmented by the fact response time (latency between the input and the displayed image) is often several frames because of pipelined nature of the rendering technology, therefore the latency of 60 Hz game is typically over 60 ms, as evidenced by Gamasutra Measuring Responsiveness in Video Games.
The Wikipedia article on Frame Rate suggests, IMO, that 60 Hz is not really the far end of the spectrum.
However the link to the cited article is broken.
Also, from same article, and more relevant:
A higher FPS will also yield a natural motion blur, something that is usually computationally expensive to render, even at a lower FPS.
I once pressed a gamer about why he tried to boost his framerates into hundreds (severely sacrificing picture quality, of course). In the end it turned out it was because some games couldn't properly handle extreme framerates and exploits started appearing (such as enemies not hearing your footsteps and the like).
Of course, this does not apply to all games or all people, but it is one reason for trying to squeeze as much as possible out of your VGA.
To make this less anecdotal I did some Googling. Here's an analysis of Quake 3's 125fps jumping bug. Apparently similar bugs are carried over to other games which use an engine derived from Quake's. Here's another analysis both for Quake3 and Call of Duty, which focuses on jumping and running sounds. The magical 333fps count stands out.
While googling I came upon many forum threads, and I gather from those that official tournaments have FPS limits to prevent players from using these exploits. However many threads mentioned that "everybody is doing this" which suggests that for simple game servers this is a widespread practice. This is quite understandable, because if one person does this, then others get an unfair disadvantage.
Critical flicker frequency (the rate at which you can no longer distinguish a flickering light from a constant one) isn't everything. Research during World War II and afterwards using a tachistoscope demonstrated that people can identify airplanes or make correct shoot/don't shoot decisions based on images seen for as little as 1/100 of a second.
There are noticeable quality improvements when going above 60Hz.
Many televisions support 120Hz or higher conversion of a 60Hz input signal to make motion appear smoother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation
One of the founders of the company behind the Oculus Rift claims that there are noticeable improvements when going above 60Hz for VR applications: http://www.pcgamer.com/oculus-founder-palmer-luckey-thinks-30-frames-per-second-is-a-failure/
Ultra High Definition video (8k) is specified to use 120Hz for improved motion quality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-definition_television
How much difference a higher frame rate makes appears to depend on the display and source material.
If a viewer's eye is stationary with respect to an image-display apparatus, the viewer's ability to distinguish a particular frame rates from an infinite frame rate will fall off sharply as rates increase beyond roughly 12Hz (the rate at which many animated cartoons are drawn). If, however, the viewer's eye is moving with respect to the apparatus or the image shown thereby, such motion will cause each part of the image shown by the apparatus to be focused on different parts of the retina at different times. Even if any particular part of the retina would be unable to detect that the image focused thereon changes dozens or hundreds of times per second, the moving eye as a whole may achieve a much greater apparent temporal resolution.
As a simple example, if one's eyes track the motion of an object seen through a dark picket fence, different parts of the object will be visible at different times, but persistence of vision will result in all the pieces into a combining to form a consistent image. If instead one were to use a stationary 60fps video camera to record the object through the fence, the camera wouldn't be able to capture nearly as much information, and a person watching the video would have no way to see any details of the object which the camera never captured.
Further, as a more general principle, discrete spacial or temporal sampling is prone to introduce artifacts which may end up being visible no matter the sample rate. Suppose uses a 60Hz camera to shoot a video of an object which is flickering 29 times per second. There is no way for a 60Hz video to show 29 uniform-looking flashes per second. If one ups the video rate to 120Hz, that would make a 29Hz object look better, but a 59Hz object would then cause trouble. If one ups the video rate to 1200Hz, the 59Hz object would look fine, but a 599Hz object would cause trouble. If one were to record at 1200Hz but then add a 1/60 second blur to everything, one could pretty well ensure that any frequency of flashing light would either be slow enough to appear as a uniform flash or fast enough to appear as a uniform solid illumination, but one would need to record the video at a rate which is significantly more than twice as fast as the highest frequency of interest.
