What's in a Supplement Review?
Our reviews are first and foremost independent and objective; however, even more than that, they are intended to be of a simple nature and easy to utilize. We at www.powerandbulk.com dislike pages filled with over the top terminology and industry jargon, so we try to convey it in understandable terms whenever and wherever possible, always keeping the reader in mind.
Our reviews are also comprehensive and transparent, meaning that our goal is to provide you with everything you need to know about the particular supplement you are researching and back it up with resources. Furthermore, they are comprehensive in that, if you require further analysis, we have quality references to assist with any additional questions you come across.
Why Do We Review Supplements?
Well, frankly, because we enjoy it and because the feedback we receive on a daily basis confirms that it brings tremendous value to the hundreds of thousands of our visitors. But there are other equally as important reasons out there, in addition to this.
One of the most crucial reasons is because of the growing magnitude of the supplements industry, which is already in double digit billions annually. According to the Nutritional Business Journal the projected revenue for the nutritional supplements industry by the year 2021 is $60 billion dollars. Quite a massive number indeed.
The thing about the supplement industry however, is that there are thousands of participants all making extremely big promises and claims, and no one player has a monopoly; making this industry as diverse as can be and therefore the reviews of the offered products ball the more important.
How Do We Keep up with All the Changes?
Keeping up with the ever changing supplements industry is no easy task, and luckily we're not ones to shy away from a challenge. Every year we are faced with huge promises being made by thousands of supplement companies, fancy eye catching packaging, and admittedly superb marketing tactics. Our job is to set all of that aside, and review what's inside the fancy box/bottle.
We are seekers of the truth, and as such we are always collecting information on whatever we can get our hands and eyes on. We make sure to stay up to date on the most recent industry news and frequently unleash our market researches into the vast abyss of the supplements industry; to our delight and surprise they keep coming back with more valuable information time after time.
Information which we review and consolidate into supplement reviews, easily accessible on your mobile, tablet, or desktop. In the process of providing you with valuable information, we additionally and simultaneously have the goal of saving you money in the process.
Our Reviews Help You Reach Health Goals
As mentioned previously, the supplement industry is a colossal multi-billion dollar a year business; what was once an industry full of die hard fitness enthusiasts has now become mainstream and has skyrocketed in products and profits.
Because it is in the best interest of the supplement companies to provide you with misleading information and sway you with advanced marketing methods, without proper information you are on the losing end of the deal from the get go.
Supplement reviews are important in this regard, because what a company claims a product contains and its effects may very well be a misleading claim. For example, the company may not necessarily be lying (which is illegal, thankfully), however, they can turn a profit by using the truth in a misleading manner.
If a substance was found to be effective in producing a certain result during lab testing (on animals, or petri-dishes), it may not necessarily mean that the big claim of "muscle building" on the container is necessarily true for a human being.
Find Supplements That Work for You
The most important thing when it comes to investing in supplements to go alongside your health and fitness goals, is to make sure that what you are consuming is actually worth your time and money. Thankfully, our job is to present you with consolidated lists and in-depth reviews of products and companies that offer just that, when all the marketing hype is put aside.
Our reviews are full of insightful information and backed by referenced research; as you're looking around for a health goal you are trying to improve, you are sure to come across a valuable supplement review that will assist you in achieving that goal.
Whether you are low on energy, looking to strengthen your immune system, require more potassium in your diet, trying to lose or gain weight, or just need more vitamins in your day, you have come to the right place.

I spent over twenty years as an Active Duty Army Clinical Social Worker, although I am currently retired. I am also the mother of two sets of young twins (b/b) and (g/g). As my "me" paradigm has changed significantly since leaving the military, I've had to readjust my expectations and goals. I learned that very little in my old life prepared me for the journey and adventure of parenting. Except for lack of sleep, that I've got nailed.
People often ask me why I joined the military. I was patriotic and needed money. I was interested in the Army, but my lack of math skills and dislike of an engineering curriculum kept me from applying to a service academy. That and I wanted a real college experience where I could make mistakes and only have to deal with my repercussions. After a very expensive completion of an ivy league graduate school, I found myself working two jobs. I joined the Army Reserves as an enlisted soldier at 25 (at the time, it was the only way you could get student loan repayment.). I spent six years as a Civil Affairs specialist. I met my husband during a deployment to Bosnia and realized I could double my salary on Active Duty. After completing the commissioning packet and a commissioning ceremony, I went from being a Sergeant to a Captain in a week! In my Army time, I've deployed to various luxury vacation spots such as Haiti, Bosnia and Iraq (x2). I retired in 2014 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
My husband, I desperately wanted children, so we began the fertility treatments that brought us our twin boys in 2010 and twin daughters in 2013. My husband, an ER and Public Health trained Army nurse, retired in 2015. We now live in my home state of Pennsylvania with the double sets of twins and my 23-year-old stepson, six chickens, two cats and a Great Pyrenees puppy

For the story so far, click here for episode 1 and episode 2
continued from episode 2:
"The night before I died I was sitting at home by the fire, nursing a baby red grouse who had been orphaned by the Guns the week before. My friends, Brighde the doe and her fawn, Beathag, were asleep on their blanket and Donnan, the collie, was taking a deep drink of water. It was peaceful until Donnan suddenly stopped his lapping and turned to the door with ears pricked up, growling. Then came three heavy thuds on the door. I was afeared but Donnan was there. I opened the door."
"There stood the nasty gamekeeper and his henchmen, from the Viscount's household. I had had run-ins with him before when I put out his heather-fires or freed foxes and other souls from his evil traps and snares. Donnan stood beside me, snarling at the keeper and the lads behind him who held shovels and sticks menacingly to intimidate me. The keeper spoke low, his voice sounded cracked from too much smoke. He told me that if I did not stay away from the grouse shoot on the morrow, and keep entirely away from the Viscount's estate, it would not go well for me, or my friends, and with that he raised a stick as though it were a gun and aimed it at Donnan. Donnan leapt at him and bit his leg hard. The nasty man yelled and kicked my good boy off, shouting at me to "be warned!" as he limped away."
"I was up before dawn on the morrow and found a strangled vixen outside my door, the poor wee lass was intended to teach me a lesson. I knew they wouldn't stop killing whatever I did so, for the sake of their future victims, I still had to try to save those I could. Leaving Donnan at home to protect the others, I made my way to the Viscount's estate and tried to scare as many grouse away as I could, before the "sport" began. I saw his guests arriving and said a prayer for the innocents who would cross their paths. I stayed out of sight and got ahead of them to the woods."
"Such brave and noble men who would, five of them, gang up to slaughter a little bird."
"I tried to stay out of sight whilst rushing to pick up the injured before their dogs got to them, but I'm sure it was inevitable that someone would see me.
"'Miss Allaway, I thought my man had spoken to you about this. Ah well, I suppose if you want something done right you have to do it yourself – isn't that what they say?' The Viscount himself stood over me but I didn't look up. I couldn't take my eyes off the bird whose tail had been clipped by a shot which almost missed him. He was flapping and gasping and panicking. I reached out to him as the Viscount spoke again.
"'Miss Allaway, I see you cannot be reasoned with.' I heard a click and that was it. That was the end of me."
"The following morning I saw one of the Viscount's lackeys arrive and try to enter my home – I knew what he was after and tried to get in his way but he walked right through me. I felt helpless. Angry and helpless."
"I should have known Donnan would not let him pass. Even the little grouse did her best to see him off. The lackey turned tail but I knew he'd be back and that meant my friends wouldn't be safe. The Viscount wanted my Indenture."
"In spite of being a drinker, a gambler and a generally neglectful parent, my father had at least made sure I wouldn't be destitute before he lost the rest of his estate to Viscount Faulkner – or 'that diabolical mountebank' as he called him."
"His son was worse. It was he who shot me and I knew that he would not be satisfied with the manor and most of this vast estate if he thought he could get it all. He owned the bankers and the solicitors and would not rest until he had in his possession every last blade of Allaway grass. I had to make sure he didn't get his hands on my four acres.
"First of all I had to make sure my friends were safe."
"After some practice I found that, if I concentrated, I could move things inside the cottage. Donnan lay down by the door, watching, waiting for my return. I draped a shawl across his back which startled him and he whined as he looked around for me, confused. The shawl slipped to the floor and I lifted it and draped it over him again, this time slowly dragging it across his back, stroking him with it. He rubbed his face against the shawl, breathing in its smell, my smell. Then he rolled around on it, wrapping himself in it and howling. Somehow he sensed me. He knew I was there.
"The others watched Donnan's strange performance and gradually they too became aware of my presence."
"I needed to let them know that it wasn't safe for them here, that the Viscount's men would be coming back. There was a cave at the foot of the mountain where they could hide until the danger passed but I didn't know how I was going to explain that to them. I repeatedly tried taking the shawl so that I could use it to lead them there, but Donnan thought it was a game and kept pulling it back and rolling around, barking and wagging his tail. Eventually I got so frustrated that I screamed with vexation.
"My friends were suddenly still and alert, their ears pricked up. They had heard me! I looked at Donnan and Brighde and Beathag and the wee bird, and realised that they were all looking back at me. They could see me!
"There was a small sack of oats in the basket by the hearth. I pointed to it and told Donnan to 'bring'. Then I moved to the doorway and he followed me, and the others followed him. We all made our way to the foot of the mountain and I told them to wait in the cave while I went back to the cottage to wait for Faulkner's men.
"I didn't have to wait long."
"Three of them came, with shotguns. I watched them enter the cottage and then barred the door behind them."
"The sound startled them; they turned to see who was there but saw no one. I knocked over the rocking chair. Again they were startled. Again they saw no one."
"I lifted my other dress from its hook and danced it around the room as if someone were wearing it. They screamed like the cowards they were and rushed for the door."
"As they frantically struggled to get the door open I wrote across it with black ash from the hearth: DON'T COME BACK
"I was confident that they would not."
until …
"He complained that he didn't have nearly enough money for such an undertaking but I told him I knew exactly how much money he had, how he got it and who he got it from. That shut him up."
And they all lived happily ever after.

Eva Angelina's Porn Star Biography
Eva Angelina is of Cuban, Chinese, English and Irish descent. She has said that she came from a "very wealthy" background, but that when she turned thirteen, her family "pretty much lost everything." She always knew she wanted to enter the adult film business, as she started shooting her own porn films using a Handi-Cam. She made her porn debut in 2003 when she was just 18 years old when she answered an advertisement in the newspaper. Her first scene was for the Shane's World series. From there, Angelina went on to perform in nearly 600 adult films, working with various prestigious production companies, such as Pure Play Media, Diabolic Video, Elegant Angel, New Sensations, and many more.
Notable Films and Niches
Over the years, Angelina has changed her appearance many times. She is known for wearing glasses during her sex scenes and has performed in that niche several times. She has also performed in gonzo, anal, A2M, double penetration, interracial, group sex, lesbian content, solo masturbation scenes, and more. Notable films for Angelina include, but are not limited to, Big Wet Asses 12 (Elegant Angel), Anal Boot Camp (Jules Jordan Video), Defend Our Porn (Evil Angel), Fucked Up Handjobs 2 (JM Productions), a lesbian performance in Ladies Room 1 (Zero Tolerance), and a solo performance in Rub My Muff 6 (Demolition).
Hiatus, Comeback, and Personal Life
Angelina took a temporary break from porn between May and November 2004 to accommodate her then boyfriend's wishes, during which she returned to school and worked at Macaroni Grill in Valencia, California. She soon returned to adult films. In late 2005 Eva considered joining the US Navy, but changed her mind when met with a demand to remove her neck tattoo and get an associate's degree. Angelina married pornographic actor Danny Mountain in December 2007. She gave birth to their daughter Silvi on December 9, 2008. Angelina and Mountain separated in March 2009. She later earned her real estate license in 2014.
Mainstream Appearances
Like many of her fellow porn stars, Angelina has attempted to cross over to mainstream media. She successfully crossed over with minor roles in the TV shows 7th Heaven and Cousin Skeeter. In 2010, Maxim named her one of the 12 top female stars in porn.

Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a severe acute viral illness often characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. This is followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function, and in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. Laboratory findings include low white blood cell and platelet counts and elevated liver enzymes. How can you avoid the Ebola virus?
Avoid the Ebola Virus
It seems that this outbreak of Ebola is even worse than previous outbreaks. How bad is it? Reuters report on the Ebola outbreak claims that death toll statistics will no longer be released to the public to "avoid causing unnecessary panic."
Now we're flying people, infected with Ebola, right into Atlanta! Yes, we now import Ebola!
I find that unsettling.
I also find it disturbing, that there is strong suspicions that this strain may be spread via airborne transmission. This hasn't been confirmed, but if that's the case, this might be the one that get us, people!
Ebola Key Facts:
- Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal illness in humans.
- EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%.
- EVD outbreaks occur primarily in remote villages in Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests.
- The virus is transmitted to people from wild animals and spreads in the human population through human-to-human transmission.
- Fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family are considered to be the natural host of the Ebola virus.
- Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. No licensed specific treatment or vaccine is available for use in people or animals.
Symptoms of Ebola typically include:
- Fever
- Headache
- Joint and muscle aches
- Weakness
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Lack of appetite
Some patients may experience:
- A Rash
- Red Eyes (like pink-eye or conjunctivitis in both eyes)
- Hiccups
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing
- Bleeding inside and outside of the body
Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to ebolavirus though 8-10 days is most common.
Protection to help you avoid the Ebola Virus
Prevention efforts focus on avoiding contact with the viruses. The following precautions can help prevent infection and spread of Ebola and Marburg.
- Avoid traveling to areas of known outbreaks. Before traveling to Africa, and now Europe (Italy), find out about any current epidemics by checking the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- Wash your hands frequently. As with other infectious diseases, one of the most important preventive measures for Ebola virus and Marburg virus is frequent hand-washing. Use soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand rubs (hand sanitizer) containing at least 60 percent alcohol when soap and water aren't available.
- Avoid contact with infected people. In particular, caregivers should avoid contact with the person's body fluids and tissues, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions and saliva. People with Ebola or Marburg are most contagious in the later stages of the disease. Remember, infected persons may not even have symptoms!
- Follow infection-control procedures. If you're a health care worker, wear protective clothing — such as gloves, masks, gowns and eye shields. Keep infected people isolated from others. Carefully disinfect and dispose of needles and other instruments. Injection needles and syringes should not be reused.
- Don't handle remains. The bodies of people who have died of Ebola or Marburg disease are still contagious. Specially organized and trained teams should bury the remains, using appropriate safety equipment.
- This one is very, very important! Avoid bush meat. In developing countries, wild animals, including nonhuman primates, are sold in local markets. Avoid buying or eating any of these animals.
No matter how tempted you are, we must strongly recommend that you avoid eating any fruit bats, whatsoever!

Leasing allows you to update your fleet at its optimum life-cycling point. This helps minimize downtime caused by unscheduled maintenance and repairs. It also helps minimize uncertainty of resale value. Leasing often requires less money up front, freeing up precious capital for operating expenses.
Maintaining your fleet is important for many reasons. Often, your company's vehicles are the first impression potential customers receive about your business – MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!
Did you know you can include costs for up-fits, decals, setup, and maintenance into your lease payment, with little or no money down? We can roll fleet, equipment costs, and soft costs all into one monthly payment.
We can tailor your lease to your company's needs. For seasonal businesses, we can structure the lease so payments are due during busy months, and skip payments when business is slower. If your business is newer or expanding, we can structure payments to increase over time, allowing you to make smaller payments while you build capital.
Industrial Builders, Inc. has relied on Fisher Leasing for innovative financing on a wide variety of equipment that we use to accomplish the projects we build. For over twenty years, they have tailored leases for us on anything from large cranes to pickups and automobiles, offering payment terms that meet our business needs. When we need assistance with a lease, we always call FF Fisher first.
FF Fisher Leasing always goes above and beyond for us. They anticipate our needs without asking and structure our leases to provide us with the most benefit. The ability to use Fisher Leasing frees up our capital so we can put our money to work and earn a higher rate of return for our shareholders.
FF Fisher has been a strategic business partner with American Crystal Sugar Company for more than a decade. Their level of commitment, service, and attention to detail is notable. FF Fisher understands our business interests and provides vehicle options that are in line with our needs. They are trusted professionals that value customer relationships.
We have had a great working relationship with FF Fisher Leasing for the past 24 years. Fisher is always flexible and willing to structure our leases to fit our needs. We like the ability to establish lease lines, so as the need arises for vehicles, equipment, or capital assets purchases for acquisitions, we can act quickly. Bob Prowse has provided us with outstanding service, finding every nickel for us.

The SOLARIS Wedding Planners Give You Creative Ideas for Destin Florida Weddings
One of our wedding partners, WeddingWire.com, has unveiled the hottest trends for weddings in 2014. Our wedding planners already have a treasure chest full of ideas to implement these creative ideas for SOLARIS weddings this year. Here are some ideas to get you thinking and inspired for your upcoming wedding.
Shine On A Bright Destin Wedding
It's all about the shimmer this year with silver and gold touches on everything from the wedding dresses to decorations and cakes. Luckily for our SOLARIS brides, mother nature provides glistening silver & gold accents naturally, including the colorful sunset reflecting on the water. These metallics can be complimented with some many colors, from turquoise blue and emerald greens to the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year – Radiant Orchid (a beautiful pinky-purple shade).
Cruising Through Unique Entertainment for Your Wedding
Couples want to make their wedding as memorable and special to their guests as it is to them. Enter unique entertainment – from Photobooths to well, yacht weddings, guests will be treated this year to a plethora of memorable experiences. And if it's a destination wedding, you really want to give your guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience to thank them for making the trip. One of the main comments we hear from our SOLARIS couples about their wedding is how memorable of an experience it was for them AND their guests – from unlimited views of the sunset while cruising the water to dancing on the open air sky deck.
HashTag Destin Wedding Cruise
Disposable cameras are so 1999. This year, more couples will create their own custom hashtags that are displayed on tables for guests to post wedding pictures to Twitter and Instagram. This is an easy way for everyone to connect over the photos in one location. Some fun hashtags our wedding planners will use for SOLARIS couples this year? #[first names or last name]solariswedding #weddingcruisedestin
Hang In There for a Dramatic Look for Your Wedding
Another big trend for 2014 weddings is taking your decor from tabletop to the ceiling. Our wedding planners have anchored all types of decor from the ceilings of the elegant SOLARIS dining rooms, from crepe paper to flowers and lanterns.
This is just a small glimpse at the many ideas our wedding planners can give you. Give them a call at 850.650.2519 or request our wedding planners to contact you to discuss ideas and packages for smooth sailing for your wedding in Destin.

Quick Reference
A document that acknowledges and contains the terms of a loan (usually to a company). The loan may be unsecured (a naked debenture). More usually, however, the debenture will be subject to a charge and will contain the terms of the charge (e.g. the right to appoint a receiver or a crystallization event). Debentures may be issued to a single creditor or in a series to several creditors in order to raise finance for a company. In the case of the latter, a trust may be created and contained within the debenture in favour of such creditors. This enables the company to appoint a trustee for debenture holders to ensure that the financial activities of the company are managed in the interests of the group of creditors. Finance raised by the issue of debentures is known as loan capital. This is contrasted with share capital, the holders of which are company members.

Hi! I am worried sick! My daughter is very sick. Had strep 2 weeks ago & been sick off & on since. Started coughing up green stuff Sunday.
Saw a DR Monday (Actually drs were full - she saw a nurse practicioner);
I wanted antibiotic for her-refused. Told her I'd be calling her by Thursday.
Called the DR yesterday, took her in....DR thought her lungs sounded like she had a combination of pneumonia & bronchitis.
Sent us for chest xray.
Back to DR. Xray shows no pneumonia or bronchitis but shows lots of mucus in her lungs.
She is VERY sick. Dr. gave her an inhaler & wants to listen to her lungs tomorrow. Still no antibiotics.
I'm not one to push them unless they are necessary but my question is HOW CAN THEY BE POSITIVE they aren't necessary in this case?
I believe an antibiotic on Monday would have prevented this illness from getting so severe. I am furious!
What do you think and what could be other lung disease mucus causes?
Thanks to all!

Giorgio Vasari, perhaps the father of art history with his Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, was born on July 30, 1511. The cover of Vasari's Lives appears above. Written in 1550 and revised and expanded in 1568, Vasari's Lives may mark the first use of the term "Renaissance" in art to refer to that golden age of European painting. Although his own works of art may pale in comparison to the giants of his time, Vasari's contributions to art history have kept their names, and his own, alive to today.
In works such as his Battle of Scannagallo (above), Vasari comes across as just another good, not great Renaissance painter. Friend of Michelangelo and student of Andrea del Sarto, Vasari never rose to their levels of brilliance. However, Vasari understood their greatness enough to want to capture that historical moment in all its fine detail. Reading Vasari's Lives today often seems like flipping through a Renaissance version of today's People Magazine. Between the nuggets of historical value lay moments of sheer gossip (such as his long harangue on the shrewishness of poor Andrea's wife) and tall tales of long-dead painters' magical feats (such as Giotto painting a fly on one work that fooled his master, Cimabue, into trying to brush it away). Overall, however, Vasari's writings bring the painters back to life in all their genius and, often humorously, their humanity.
Vasari didn't limit his conservationism to just words. Although he himself was a working painter and sometimes even an excellent painter of religious subjects, such as his Entombment (above), Vasari recognized that the common practice of painting new frescos over old ones was an unjust erasure of past masters. Recently, scientists believe that they have found Leonardo da Vinci's legendary, lost 1505 fresco The Battle of Angiers behind a fresco done by Vasari in 1593. They believe that Vasari built a wall in front of Leonardo's work to save it and then painted his own fresco on the new wall. Such an act shows not only Vasari's humility before greatness but also a visionary gift the benefits of which we still reap today.

Exercise, Movement and Dance
Movement and Dance
Dance has evolved over many centuries, and definitions of what consitutes as dance are dependent on social, cultural, artistic, aesthetic and moral constraints.
Although the history of dance cannot be clearly traced through physical historical artefacts, many contemporary dance forms can be traced back to historical, traditional, ethnic and ceremonial origins.
Many styles of dance and movement now exist, and vary from Breakdancing to Ballet, Tribal African dances to Folk, Bollywood to Cheerleading, Country and Western to Belly Dancing.
No matter what style of dance you wish to engage in, they all have something in common. Dance not only involves flexibility and whole body movement, but also an awareness of physics, as if the proper physics are not adhered to, injuries can occur.
Information on Dance and Movement can be found on the English Amateur Dancesport Association.
Exercise Move Dance
EMD UK (Exercise Move Dance UK), previously known as EMDP (The Exercise Movement & Dance Partnership), was constituted in 2006 when after consultation and support from Sport England. The Medau Society, FLexercise and the Keep Fit Association (our founding organisations) came together to form an umbrella body for exercise, movement and dance.
Since 2006, EMD UK has continued to grow and change to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding market. In early 2016 we became the national governing body for group exercise, providing support to participants, instructors and fitness organisations. Supported by Sport England, we work in alignment with their national strategy: "Towards an Active Nation" which is at the heart of everything we do and strive to achiev

Should we worry about the increasing European reliance on energy from Russia?
The energy consumption of the European Union is going to grow over the coming decades. Today about two thirds of natural gas consumed in the EU are already imported and European demand for gas could increase by 50% by 2020 (M. Raymond, 2007; D. Finon, C. Locatelli ; 2008). There has been renewed interestin the issue of European gas import dependence following the gas struggle between Russia and Ukraine during the last week of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 (A. Spanjer ; 2006). Indeed since 2005, Gazprom produces about 93% of Russian natural gas, while controlling 16% of world reserves and is the principal natural gas supplier to 18 countries of the European Union. It also supplies 35 percent ofUkraine's requirements and 100 percent of Georgia's (MB. Schaffer; 2008).
However, between anxiety and serenity expert opinions are divided. The Russia's near monopoly of Eurasian distribution system natural gas threat the independent foreign policy of the European Union (MB. Schaffer; 2008). L.Mauring and D. Schear(2006) suggested that threats to intervention military may be not a problem inthe EU-Russia relationship further, developing a growing interest in Russia Common Market of the EU poses new threats from other origins. Although the risk of an economic conflict are obviously more likely than the risk of military intervention, the show of force on the State of Georgia in August 2008 reminds us that the homeland of the Tsars is again a military power and that his expansionistwishes and some dictatorial methods of the old regime remain. As if to confirm these economic risks the same year, Douglas B. Reynolds and M. Kolodziej (2006) declared that the potential re-nationalization of the oil industry of Russia, with a passage from the Russian State from 38% to over 50% in its share is not only intended to limit the need of foreign investors, but also reflects a desire by theKremlin to use the latter as strategic weapon and this strong position in a context of rising global demand since the beginning of the twenty-first century, would allow the Kremlin to exert pressure on potential client countries: former-Soviet republics, Central and Western Europe, some of which are dependent from 90 to 100% of Russian deliveries (R. Fernandez; 2003).
However, a study by Paul J.Saunders (2008) raised the true fact that Europe is not faced with a classic dependency on Russian gas but it exist a real interdependence between the two markets, and if it is true that Europe needs Russian gas it is also true that Russia needs the EU import. This view has repeatedly been affirmed by many experts in Russia's geopolitics (Ivanov, 2003; Monaghan and Montanaro-Jankovski, 2006; CEC,2006).
According to a study of A. Gnezditskaia (2005) another weakness of the Russian energy sector is its impact on the bank sector. Owing to the fact that a large chunk of the best-capitalized Russian banks are owned and/or controlled by oil-related enterprises, the performance of the banking sector is tied to that of the hydrocarbons industry. Moreover, oil enterprises affect bankregulators by imposing lax regulation of these banks, which creates perverse incentives for the banking system as a whole. However it is really difficult to evaluate economically the impact of this proximity.
In 2004 J. Stern reminded that finally the entire political class seems to regularly forget that the USSR has never failed in his duty as a supplier of gas during the Cold War, despite thepronouncements anti-Soviet European countries. But with recent events, including the third Russo-Ukrainian conflict in 2009, it seems clear that even without the target, the EU may be a victim of collateral damage of a dispute between Russia and countries of the former USSR.
It is why both sides are seeking solutions to reduce this interdependence and to avoid another conflict between Russia and...

Mike's latest book is a crime noir called Skidsville. Learn more about him and his work by visiting http://www.gagnonwrites.com/, and see samples at https://www.wattpad.com/user/MikeGagnon.
1. Have you been interested in both writing and drawing since you were a kid--and when did you know you wanted to build a career in writing and illustrating?
I got into writing and drawing early on, especially at first. When I was about five, I discovered comic books. They grabbed my attention instantly and I had a passion for them. I started tracing characters into new stories and making my own. I was too young at the time to understand that I was also storytelling. I knew right away, from that early age, that I wanted to work in comics and creative ventures.
2. How did you come up with the idea for your latest book, Skidsville?
I wanted to tell a gritty crime story, but I wanted to tell it from a different perspective than usual. Most hardboiled crime noir features a protagonist that's a homicide investigator, or the stereotypical private eye. I wanted to take a look from the point of view of a criminal. He may be a bad guy, but readers can empathize to a certain point that he is a bad guy for the right reasons. As bad as Joey (the protagonist) is, he's nothing compared to the level of corruption and callousness of the antagonists that surround him. He's nickel and dime to the "real" criminals. There's some underlying themes I wanted to explore, basically the idea of a story without a "good guy," just various layers of "bad," but also that things and people are not always what they appear. The "hero" of a story may have to atone for their actions. I originally wrote it as a graphic novel script, but time and budget put it on pause for awhile. I did however get time to adapt it into a novel, which is the book I'm promoting now. Readers can find it at finer book retailers or their favorite online bookseller. Retailers can get it from Ingram Distribution.
3. What has influenced your definition of noir? Are there particular novels, comics, films, etc. that have especially inspired you?
There's a lot of things. Frank Miller's Sin City is a big one, Will Eisner's classic work on The Spirit, as well as the film adaptation. Bruce Willis movies, like Last Boy Scout, Die Hard, Last Man Standing. I'm currently working on the graphic novel version of Skidsville again. The graphic novel will be black, white and red, which may lead to some comparisons to Miller's Sin City work, but I don't think there's any similarity beyond that. I think Skidsville is its own thing. It's an idea, doing black, white and red, that I've had for a long time, before I discovered Sin City, but over time has grown into being also a nod, or homage, to Miller's work. There's also a pretty handy book I use in the classroom from time-to-time called How to Draw Noir Comics by Shawn Martinbrough.
4. What are some of the challenges for authors/artists in presenting visual work in an eBook format compared to print?
Well, let me tell you, it all depends on platform. eReading still isn't super image friendly, but there has been progress. Kindle, for example, has a comic creator, for creating and formatting comics for Kindle readers and apps. It can even allow you to set up panel-by-panel reading instead of page-by-page. It isn't perfect, mind you, and it can be a challenge when you want to set up reading for a page with a very dynamic or original layout to the art and panels, but it's better than nothing. Kindle has special creators for children's books and text books now, too, so they are recognizing the unique needs of each format. Comixology also works well and although it is now owned by Amazon, it seems to have a bit smoother system for panel-by-panel. Things like Smashwords can be great for getting your eBook distributed to multiple channels, but they still aren't set up and compatible with image heavy books in a lot of cases. DrivethruFiction/DrivethruComics is a good option for simply uploading a .pdf file that people can download and read.
The challenges are different for comics with print. In eBooks, you're struggling to make a sensible flow with panels and software programming to ensure readability, and with print you need to watch safe areas, margins, and bleeds so nothing important gets lost when the book is trimmed to its final size. The content is printed on larger paper and then cut to size, so if your pages aren't sized or aligned right, you can lose parts of your art that you didn't want to.
5. As someone who also works as a teacher, what's your best advice to those who want to learn to write and/or illustrate comics and graphic novels?
Never stop learning and never fear failure. We get obsessed and worried about our image in this modern social media age. Share your work and make mistakes. No one is perfect, and making mistakes is how you learn and improve. There will always be people who are just mean and comment and don't like your work. It will always be. Ignore them, they're not worth it. Understand that not everything is for everyone. Some people don't like crime noir stories. That's fine. It doesn't make them, or me, right or wrong; they just have their own taste. For every book or drawing or comic, someone is going to like it and get what you're trying to say. That's who it was for, the people who get it and enjoy it.
There are also some great and helpful books out there for people to help them get started in all aspects of comics and writing: The DC Comics Guide to Writing for Comics by Dennis O'Neill, Making Comics by Scott McCloud, The Business of Comics by Lurene Haines, Perspective: Made Easy by Robert Lee, and a ton more. You can find more books that I recommend as well as my own books and articles on the subject at www.mikegagnon.ca.
Thanks, Mike!

Of all possible reactions you can have to Amazing Grace, the one thing you can't say is that it doesn't give you a lot to chew on.
Unfortunately, it's overwhelming to a fault. My show-date, Courtney, made an astute observation when she turned to me at intermission and said, "this is A LOT."
I have smart friends. Just sayin'...
Now open at the Nederlander Theatre, Amazing Grace is the type of musical that you wish reined itself in every now and then, given the serious subject matter (slavery and slave-trading). Not even five or six minutes into the musical, a cage of slaves is rolled out and several of them are auctioned off and branded before a huge gun-fight and pandemonium occurs.
And then things really start to get insane.
But in a weird, messed up way, it is not a musical revolving around slavery, at least from the POC's point-of-view (which the story was damn-near BEGGING for). You see, John Newton wrote the famous title hymn after a several-year long experience spanning his stint in slave-trafficking, followed by getting shuffled off to the navy where he was eventually captured and kinda "enslaved" on enemy soil and…yeah. John also has a love interest, Mary Catlett, from back home who plays "he loves me, he loves me not" until she aligns herself with an underground anti-slavery group.
While I don't doubt the accuracy of the story, as ludicrous as it occasionally gets, the bridge between John's story and how "Amazing Grace" is written is…well, a bridge too far. It is in the thematic ballpark in a "squint your eyes/ears" kind of way - John's perspective on faith and humanity would change in light of such an experience - but given that Newton wrote the song months after the story happens, the direct relationship is on the vague side. The audience is also fed such try-hard attempts to connect the two, which doesn't help their cause.
What makes matters even more baffling is that other then an initial mention of the song and then the segue way to the epilogue at the end (where the ensemble sings "Amazing Grace," natch), there is no additional mention of the song anywhere. Nothing. No "wink and a nod" or quote or anything. The song's inclusion at the end is just...there. Makes perfect sense. Oh, Broadway...
But the biggest "Oh, Broadway" moments however have to do when the show goes all "FUCK SUBTLETY" because various signage that pops up include illustrious gems like "SLAVES FOR SALE" and "this is NEGROLAND." If I saw these signs out of context, I would of guessed they were for parody purposes. As it turns out, nope! They were just unintentionally hilarious and WAY off-center, but I digress...
I can only cut Arthur Giron and Christopher Smith's book so much slack given it tries to tell a compelling story (or five), but I left with the impression that the audience is being told a white-washed story. But that could just be me, as I'm more then over this whole, "entitled white dude with an artist's sensibility and rich white lady learn about the HORRORS of slavery and racism, so let's follow their journeys as they bring about CHANGE" sorta thing. Of course, this being Broadway, they have a portion of the book devoted to John feuding with his father and- I'm sorry, I ran out of fucks to give way back when. After the attempts at SHOCK schlock, the story detours to dullsville pretty fast (so, like, why do we care about any of the characters?).
Just about the only interest conjured up in the story is when Mary goes undercover for the benefit of the anti-slavery group and the series of scenes involving the Princess who captures John. For a period piece (mid-18th Century), the female characters could have been relegated to "just there" status, but it was nice to see them carve out a portion of the show as their own. And Harriett D. Foy's Princess, acting all cutthroat and toting weapons like a BOSS, is fun/scary to watch in a, "how far will she go?" sort of way.
Smith's score isn't exactly noteworthy either. A few of the orchestrations land - especially in the show's opener, "Truly Alive" - but the best part of the score was the fact it was being sung by the vocally mind-blowing Josh Young and Erin Mackey. So well-sung are these two titans, everything else temporarily does not matter when they have the mic. Unfortunately, they are only tasked with sing-distracting for so often and Amazing Grace's overall lackluster quality can only be ignored for minutes (if not seconds) at a time.

I prefer the bad performance of a superior pianist to the superior performance of a bad pianist.
It reminds me of Churchill's reply to the indignant remark that he was drunk at a reception:
"Hwell, milady, I'lllbees-sobertomorromorning, but youwill still-be-ugly."
A musician cannot be a skeptic because the musical language speaks through the emotional force of expectation, and to anticipate and experience resolution he has to suspend disbelief of its blazing necessity.
Wanting and trying to play a piece that is too advanced to master is preposterous! It is the futile attempt to harvest before cultivation. Before the after: pre - posterous.
When will the star pianist promote our corporation and high art will serve to glorify our product?
A music critic should have musical, historical, and psychological education. He should also passionately love music and have utmost respect for the performer in general. A classical concert artist spent a lifetime to arrive at mastery at an instrument and the authority of an individual interpretation ~ the responsibility of a music critic is an attempt of an educated understanding and emphatic explanation rather than the self-indulgent expression of stereotypes based on established and/or personal taste alone. A music critic should also be able to write good.

"Good show". What an awful and completely inappropriate expression for the offering and sharing of an artist.
"Good job". How terrible and underwhelming. When a plumber installs a toilet and it's not leaking, that is a 'good job'.
"Well done" is not much better; but it's an appropriate expression for the preparation of steak.
What should one say?
Small minds express banality through mannerisms.
Average minds express triviality through technique.
Great minds express truth and beauty through mastery.
Ars longa,
vita brevis,
occasio praeceps,
experimentum periculosum,
iudicium difficile.
One should – with exceptions – perform in concert only the most outstanding pieces of the great composers written specifically for that purpose ~ because the domain of art is immeasurable, life is short, opportunity is transient, exploration is treacherous, fair assessment is unfathomable, and pieces not written for public performance are, well, not written for public performance. One should however – without exception and for the same reasons – comprehensively study musical and instrumental art as well as the complete repertoire of the great composers.
A little ADHD: Not a bad thing for our profession.
