De aanpak van belastingontwijking door de EU: gerichte maatregelen zonder structurele verandering.
|Beleid en Maatschappij, Aflevering 1 2019
|Tax, EU/European Union, Corporate taxation, Tax avoidance, Tax policy
|Indra Römgens
According to the outgoing European Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, the European Union (EU) has made more progress in tackling tax avoidance and evasion in the last five years than in the twenty years before that. This article argues that although several targeted measures have indeed been adopted, such as automatic exchange of tax rulings and limitations on interest deductions, this has not led to a structural change in EU corporate tax policies, nor in underlying power relations. The article discusses the politics of a number of recent policy developments related to tax avoidance and evasion by transnational corporations. It argues that the adoption of targeted measures, and the simultaneous stalling of more comprehensive approaches – in terms of tax transparency or a common consolidated corporate tax base – can be explained by recent tax controversies, international politics, and the dynamics within and between EU institutions. Particular attention is paid to the role of the European Parliament that is formally limited, but still houses progressive forces that have continuously pushed for a clampdown on tax avoidance. Finally, the article pleads for more transparent EU decision-making, specifically concerning discussions with and within the Council, in order to improve the democratic legitimacy of EU corporate tax policies and processes.

|Labour market participation, Female refugees, Emancipation, Employment support, Work first
|Drs. Marjan de Gruijter en Inge Razenberg MSc
The labour market participation of recent female refugees in the Netherlands is very low. This is caused not only by the fact that a large proportion of the female refugee population has a greater distance to the labour market (than male refugees), but also because municipalities – for various reasons – offer more support to male refugees seeking to enter the Dutch labour market. This article is based on an explorative study we carried out into the labour market opportunities of recent female refugees and job guidance policies of Dutch municipalities. First, we explore how background characteristics of the group of female refugees and the municipal focus on supporting male refugees to quickly join the workforce, influence each other negatively and greatly limit the chances of female refugees at finding paid work. We then discuss the consequences for the participation and integration of these newcomers and their families, both for the short and long term. Finally, we discuss how female refugees can be supported more effectively towards labour market participation.

De schuldencrisis in de eurozone: oorzaken, aanpak en implicaties
|Beleid en Maatschappij, Aflevering 1 2019
|Eurozone crisis, Financialization, Bail-outs, Austerity, Banking union, Quantitative easing
|Dr. Henk Overbeek
Ten years ago, now, the Eurozone began to shake on its foundations. This article traces the genesis of the crisis and the present state of affairs. As to the causes of the global financial crisis in 2008, I argue that contrary to common understanding, the financial crisis had its deeper causes in a decades old tendency towards crisis in the real economy, produced by the continuous overaccumulation of capital which can only return profits by undertaking speculative short-term investments (a phenomenon known as 'financialisation'). I then trace how the global financial crisis morphed into a crisis of public deficits and debt in 2010-2011, particularly in the Eurozone. Three factors are shown to be responsible: financialization, design faults in the European monetary union, and the neo-mercantilist strategy of especially Germany and the Netherlands. The paper next looks at the five main traits of the policy responses in the Eurozone: bailing out governments and banks through creating emergency funds; imposition of austerity and budget discipline for member state governments; attempting to create and complete a Eurozone banking union; subsequently the European Central Bank engaged on an unprecedented scale in 'quantitative easing'; and finally, institutional reform in an attempt to repair the most pressing design faults of the EMU. The paper concludes that the underlying structural factors leading up to the crisis have only been addressed incompletely: the overaccumulation of capital continues, the completion of the banking union is in an impasse, quantitative easing has mostly just intensified financialization by pushing up asset prizes, and institutional reform has taken the form of a fundamentally undemocratic attempt at monetary and political union by stealth. The broader legitimacy of the European project has been substantially undermined, and Europe is not in a better position than eight years ago in case of a new global crisis.

Leren en werken voor vluchtelingen: beleid en interventies in drie grote gemeenten.
|Beleid en Maatschappij, Aflevering 1 2019
|Refugees, Asylum seekers, Labour market integration, Participation, Local integration policies
|Dr. Jeanine Klaver, Prof. dr. Jaco Dagevos, Dr. Rianne Dekker e.a.
Municipalities have increasingly adjusted their policies in order to better respond to the problematic social and economic participation of permit holders. The core elements within the chosen policies seem to consist of an early activation, combining language and professional training, and providing customization in the support of these newcomers. In this article, this policy change has been studied in the municipalities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. It becomes clear that a more successful approach only succeeds when permit holders are offered additional and tailored support. For all three municipalities, this means that more permit holders are reached by the available support measures and that local policy makers can better respond to individual needs and possibilities. In addition, these municipalities pay more attention for sustainable labour market participation. At the same time, it is evident that no rapid successes are being made with this new course. In particular, more vulnerable permit holders, including those with low levels of education and women, are not always reached by municipalities. We also see that many of these newcomers must be supported for a long time, even if after have found a place on the labour market. Therefore, evidence suggests that without additional measures there is a good chance that the perspective on social and economic participation for many permit holders in the Netherlands will be extremely limited.
Het asielzoekerscentrum als buurthuis? Over vrijwilligerswerk in asielzoekerscentra in Amsterdam en Brussel
|Beleid en Maatschappij, Aflevering 1 2019
|Asylum centres, Community centres, Refugees, Civic engagement, Interpretive policy analyses
|Rosaly Studulski en Nanke Verloo
Citizens are being activated to organize activities in asylum centres in both the Netherlands and Belgium. That way, asylum centres are expected to become better integrated in the local context of a municipality or neighbourhood. This ideal of citizenship does not stand on its own. The policy object to integrate asylum centres in the local context has parallels with broader societal and academic discussions about citizen participation and active citizenship. The object, however, is now the asylum seeker. In this article we research how voluntary work in two asylum centres takes shape and how policy could support voluntary activities better. A comparative interpretive policy analysis of two asylum centres in Amsterdam and Brussel shows how voluntary work is stimulated by policy, how these policies are implemented locally, and how they are experienced in daily practices of volunteers and professionals. The cases reveal stark differences, but exactly those contrasts lead to important lessons. We show that because of this policy, the asylum centre is often functioning as a community centre, that integration can be strengthened by volunteers, but we are also critical when voluntary activities are driven by an ideal picture of the 'good asylum seeker'. There is a risk that the societal responsibility for integrating and engaging asylum seekers in the local context is pushed on the shoulders of unpaid volunteers and that activities are exclusively for one group. That is why we conclude that professional support and financial resources are crucial to implement the policy ideal of active citizenship in asylum centers.

Statushouders over initiatieven voor arbeidstoeleiding in enkele Nederlandse gemeenten
|Beleid en Maatschappij, Aflevering 1 2019
|Refugees, Refugees with residence permit, Trajectories to work, Job guidance, Labour market participation
|Dr. Monique Stavenuiter en Dr. Merel Kahmann
The groups studied for this article came to the Netherlands as asylum-seekers, mostly from Syria and Eritrea. After receiving a residence permit it has been difficult for them to find paid work. In recent years many municipalities in the Netherlands developed initiatives to support refugees seeking work. In this article we describe two of such interventions: Vluchtelingen Investeren in Participeren (Refugees Invest in Participation), a nationwide initiative of VluchtelingenWerk Nederland, and NVA Werktrajecten (Trajectories to Work), carried out by a local organisation for integration and participation of refugees. We studied VIP in nine municipalities in the eastern part of the Netherlands and NVA Werktrajecten in the Dutch municipality of Amersfoort. We have focused on the perspective of the participants taking part in the initiatives. The research questions addressed are: How did the participants experience the interventions and how did the interventions meet up to their needs in their search to paid work? We describe the experiences of the participants during several steps in the trajectories, such as obtaining practical skills, practising oral and written presentations, meeting employers during the training and in the workplace, and gaining work experience. The article is based on sixty in depth interviews with refugees.
Consensus Democracy and Bureaucracy in the Low Countries
|Politics of the Low Countries, Aflevering 1 2019
|consensus democracy, bureaucracy, governance system, Lijphart, policymaking
|Frits van der Meer, Caspar van den Berg, Charlotte van Dijck e.a.
Taking Lijphart's work on consensus democracies as our point of departure, we signal a major shortcoming in Lijphart's focus being almost exclusively on the political hardware of the state structure, leaving little attention for the administrative and bureaucratic characteristics of governance systems. We propose to expand the Lijphart's model which overviews structural aspects of the executive and the state with seven additional features of the bureaucratic system. We argue that these features are critical for understanding the processes of policymaking and service delivery. Next, in order to better understand the functioning of the Netherlands and Belgium as consensus democracies, we provide a short analysis of the historical context and current characteristics of the political-administrative systems in both countries.

Consensualism, Democratic Satisfaction, Political Trust and the Winner-Loser Gap
State of the Art of Two Decades of Research
|Politics of the Low Countries, Aflevering 1 2019
|consensualism, majoritarianism, political trust, satisfaction with democracy, Lijphart
|Tom van der Meer en Anna Kern
Lijphart (1999) argued that citizens tend to be more satisfied with democracy in consensual democracies than in majoritarian democracies and that the gap in democratic satisfaction between the winners and the losers of elections is smaller under consensualism. Twenty years on since then, this article takes stock of the literature on consensualism and political support. We find considerable ambiguity in the theoretical arguments and empirical evidence provided in this literature. Finally, we speculate on possible reasons for this ambiguity.
Do Characteristics of Consociational Democracies Still Apply to Belgian Parties?
|Politics of the Low Countries, Aflevering 1 2019
|Belgium, political parties, party membership, political participation, political representation
|Emilie Van Haute en Bram Wauters
Belgium has long been described as a typical case of a consociational or consensus democracy. This article aims at identifying whether political parties in Belgium share the internal characteristics of parties in consensus democracies: passive mass memberships, the importance of purposive and material incentives for joining, and representation of a clear subculture in the social and attitudinal profiles of their members and via overlapping memberships with related organizations. We mobilize longitudinal party membership data and party member surveys conducted in three different time periods. We show that pillar parties still exercise their role of mobilization and representation of societal segments, but these segments tend to become smaller over time. New parties offer alternative options of mobilization and representation, although not always in line with the specific institutional arrangements of consociational democracy.

Transformative Welfare Reform in Consensus Democracies
|Politics of the Low Countries, Aflevering 1 2019
|consensus democracy, welfare state, social investment, transformative reform, Belgium and the Netherlands
|Anton Hemerijck en Kees van Kersbergen
This article takes up Lijphart's claim that consensus democracy is a 'kinder, gentler' form of democracy than majoritarian democracy. We zoom in on contemporary welfare state change, particularly the shift towards social investment, and argue that the kinder, gentler hypothesis remains relevant. Consensus democracies stand out in regard to the extent to which their political institutions help to overcome the politically delicate intricacies of governing for the long term. We theorize the features that can help to solve the problem of temporal commitment in democracy through processual mechanisms and illustrate these with short case studies of the contrasting welfare state reform experiences in the Netherlands and Belgium.

"Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering." -Peter Levine
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is gaining popularity in the perinatal world. You may have read about it online if you have researched trauma, birth trauma or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.The big question is: What is EMDR? What symptoms define trauma and how can EMDR be used for folks who are struggling with trauma related to parenthood, fertility, historical trauma, loss, or birth?
Symptoms of TRAUMA might include:
(Beck, Driscoll & Watson, 2013, Briere & Scott, 2015)
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It has been around since the late 80's and was developed by Francine Shapiro.You can find information on the research that supports the use of EMDR for many uses here.
EMDR has 8 phases. One of the phases uses bilateral stimulation such as eye movements, tapping or sounds to work with the troubling or disturbing memories that were not fully processed at the time of the event to desensitize the memory. Take for example, a traumatic birth experience. The birth or parts of it may be very scary, disturbing, or overwhelming to you long after the event has passed. You can use EMDR shortly after the incident, or years later; I have had clients come in to do EMDR therapy on unresolved trauma even ten years after their child's birth.
"There is a natural, physically based mechanism in all human beings for processing and resolving disturbing or incongruent life experiences" (Knipe, 2014), But when this does not happen, some memories get stuck and are stored as if they are happening 'right now.' This 'right now' feeling is something you cannot talk yourself out of, the body, brain and the whole nervous system have stored these memories in this troubling way.
You may experience bodily sensations related to the trauma when you are reminded of it, such as the panic you felt in the hospital. You may want to avoid certain places or people because they are a reminder, such as your doctor's office or even just driving by the hospital. You may have flashbacks of the event, disturbing dreams, or other symptoms that signal trauma. These memories can also get stored with negative beliefs such as: I am a failure. EMDR helps to address the body, negative beliefs, images, sounds and other sensations that are distressing. These symptoms are usually what prompts someone to come to therapy.
As a new parent, a pregnant person or someone struggling with fertility, these symptoms are problematic because the nervous system is perceiving a threat that isn't there. It can greatly impact how you feel about yourself as a person or a parent, but it does not have to.
The "stuckness" in the body and mind is what EMDR helps to resolve within the context of a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. EMDR is not a fit for everyone at every time. It is typically not an immediate 'fix'; it can be a process. However, it is extremely effective and, for many, life changing. The process of EMDR depends on the type of trauma and the person's history and the therapeutic relationship with your counsellor is essential in this healing process.
WHAT can EMDR help with in the perinatal period?
As with any therapy, the relationship is key. Finding a therapist is not always easy and not every therapist will be a fit. With trauma work, you want to be sure the person you see is experienced in the area you are looking to work on. This relationship can take some time to develop, but make sure if you do NOT feel comfortable, or if it feels unsafe in any way, that you address this with your therapist or try to find someone else to work with.
EMDR is a specialized training that requires a therapist with at least a Master's degree, EMDR training, and ongoing consultation with other EMDR therapists. Make sure the person you are seeing is a licensed therapist who is trained in EMDR.
EMDRIA is an international organization that lists therapists by area of the world and speciality. They include a category for birth trauma, and loss.

Pakistani film, TV actress Hareem Farooq shut down her 'critics' by pointing out their hypocrisy on her social media account.
She was being highly criticized for her Independence Day celebrations picture with actor Osman Khalid Butt.
The cyber bullies called her "shameless" for a bold pout pose picture with the male actor. They even called her a sinner who is destined for hell.
While replying such "critics" in a rather sarcastic manner, Hareem shut down them by saying they should not be worried about her afterlife while they are on their way to self proclaimed heaven.
Repost from @aclockworkobi -Celebrated Independence Day with Harminder just casually making a Guinness Record for the largest cookie mosaic - major props to @sooperpakistan for this incredibly creative initiative! Now, let's address how tortured I look while making that kissing face/pout/whatever it's called in the second picture. Ab samaj mai aya first base jaanay se pehlay hi itni larkiyan bhai kyoon bana leti hain. Haha JUST KIDDING. #sooperhaipakistan
"I feel so happy that I have so many people who cared about my "aakhirat" more than theirs." She wrote.
She also pointed out the double standards of the critics by saying "next time don't watch any of Indian actresses Katreena, Kareena item number as it would destroy your proclaimed heaven, but as they are non-Muslims so watching their item numbers are not going to affect their afterlife". She concluded.
Beautiful and Bullied! #HareemFarooq was cyberbullied for pictures with #OsmanKhalidButt! Double standards attacked #Hareem branding her 'shameless'. Sick of the nasty comments pouring in this no nonsense girl hits back with a slay worthy response with the message of #liveandletlive and a savage #getalife!! ????⚡???????????? #YouGoGirl ????????@hareemfarooq

text: If this forum is anything like so many other forums there are plenty of folks who lurk as read a lot but never post anything. I hope this finds you and you pay attention because this actually happened and can make a huge difference in how much you enjoy rocketry. I have not flown with my club in a very long time as in over 6 years. I decided to head to the monthly launch yesterday. I persuaded a young man I fly fish and bow hunt with to tag along. He has never flown any model rockets other than the super simple stuff most of us have flown as 6 and 8 year old monsters. I told him he could fly a saucer I had made and he would have a ball. We get there in time to help set up. The first person I see is a vendor who has attended ROCC events for as long as I can remember. We joked for a second, shook hands and expressed how nice it was to see each other again. Next we find three of the old club members, I mean both in age and time with the club... It was a very warm welcome and hugs all around. Keep in mind these are folks I have not seen since my college kids were in middle school. Then I see a guy looking over the basically free rockets table, We exchange a few words as he turns around. It is a dear friend I have not seen or flown with a very long time. He is truly a rocket scientist. He teaches and works with college teams who compete in NASA sponsored events. He is a College Professor and had some of his students with him. The launching commences and my buddy has his saucer on the rack with a D12 in it. It is cool but could use more. After that rack is launched one of the old guys I mentioned comes by the car and hands my buddy an E to put in the saucer. Every time I lost track of my buddy he was chatting with someone else or helping someone recover a rocket. At one point he was chatting with one of the old guys about NAR and getting a L1. He chatted with our vendor for about 30 minutes about motors and rocket sizes. This went on from 10am to about 5pm. On the way home he asked if we could build him a rocket for next month and what motor case would be a good one to start with? As a side note we drove 1.5hrs each way and never regretted a single minute of the windshield time. Folks, if you do not fly with a local club find one. The quality of the people in every club I have flown with has been amazing and the friends you make will last a life time.

It was a phase and the written language so lovely. And I still don't have any tattoos but that's not what this is about!

Where to Stay in Amsterdam
Looking for a specific place to stay? These are our top picks for places to stay in Amsterdam, organized by our favorite hostel, hotel, and apartment!
Best Hostel in Amsterdam: Cityhub Amsterdam
Located just south of Westerpark is the super modern and 'techy' Cityhub Amsterdam. Why so 'techy'? Because instead of a traditional dorm room – you get your own private pod/cabin and it looks more like a spaceship than a bed!
Cityhub is a unique mix of the classic social vibes of old-school hostels, mixed with a new innovative experience – that's probably why the ratings are so high!
Best Hotel in Amsterdam: Hotel Weber
Located near Leidse Square, this boutique hotel is in a prime position close to many places of interest. Rooms are en-suite and you'll find the fridge stocked with goodies for breakfast.
Fresh bread is brought to your room each morning too! Rooms also have a TV, Wi-Fi, a safe, a phone, and a coffee maker.
Best Airbnb in Amsterdam: Best Amstel view
For a novel stay in Amsterdam, what could be better than renting your very own private houseboat? This cool Airbnb can sleep up to seven people in three bedrooms (plus a sofa bed in the living room). The comfy living room provides incredible views over the water, and you can sit and chill on the outside deck too.
There's a long dining table and a well-equipped kitchen. The boat has an additional separate toilet as well as the main bathroom.

The Dutch capital is split into a number of neighbourhoods; while many major attractions are in a fairly concentrated area that doesn't mean that you should overlook other parts of the city. There are hidden gems everywhere!
Places on the fringe of the city centre are ideal for escaping the tourist crowds and mingling with locals. You'll find cool cocktail bars, independent shops, bohemian clubs, cool architecture, laid-back cafes, and more.
There are great Airbnbs in Amsterdam as well.
Centrum is the pulsating heart and soul of Amsterdam, home to many major attractions, a lively nightlife, and an abundance of restaurants. It also attracts huge numbers of tourists. No trip to Amsterdam is complete without spending time here!
The central area is broken down further into smaller areas. The old centre is where you'll find medieval streets and De Wallen, Amsterdam's infamous red light district. De Pijp is a cool spot for nightlife, terrific restaurants, an arty ambience, and a hipster vibe.
Jordaan has managed to retain a village-like feeling while being home to several famous sights and within easy reach of the heart of Amsterdam, and Plantage has many museums and a strong Jewish heritage. The canal ring is a posh area with great nightlife. Westerpark is another popular area close to the centre.
Oud Zuid (South) is a quieter part of Amsterdam, with more of an up-market atmosphere. Oud West is simultaneously relaxed and lively—you'll find plenty to see and do but the vibe is cool, calm, and collected.
Oud Oost (East) has a down-to-earth and working-class feel about it and is great for people who like to fully immerse in the local way of life in a city. There are large parks and it's considered to be a bit more off the beaten track.
Noord (North) has seen many developments over recent years, transforming it from a major shipping area to a place that's full of life, with cultural, leisure, and entertainment venues. Spaarndammerbuurt is an up-and-coming neighbourhood and the island of Marken is charming, with traditional homes and a feeling of nostalgia.
So with so many options, read on to find out where to stay in Amsterdam.

Final thoughts on where to stay in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is often famed for its coffee shops and Red Light District, which is honestly a shame because this city has so much more to offer than legal marijuana and hookers!
I love Amsterdam and think its architecture and water canals make it one of the dreamiest cities in the world, but it can be expensive, crowded, and – frankly – dirty in some areas. We created this guide to help you navigate out of the tourist traps and find out where to stay in Amsterdam based on your travel style.
To recap, our favorite hostel is Amigo Hostel Amsterdam. For more privacy, we recommend Hotel Weber! When in doubt, choose to stay in Westerpark, which is close enough to the city centre to make exploring a breeze, yet just far enough away to offer a more chilled out stay in Amsterdam.
If you stay outside the centre, you can experience a more local (and affordable) Amsterdam. The public transportation is great in Amsterdam anyway, so it's easy to get around!

The Russians gave their life in 4 million roubles
On average, Russians estimate the value of your life in 4 million rubles, said on 11 November, the "Interfax".This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the Center for strategic studies "Rosgosstrakh". In this case, the value of human life means the amount of monetary compensation to the family of the deceased, which the company believes is fair.In the survey participated 16246 people in 44 Russian cities.Precious his life was appreciated by the residents of Krasnoyarsk, Moscow and Irkutsk - 7.6 million, with 5.7 million and 5.5 million rubles. Below all their lives is appreciated by the residents of Khabarovsk, Ryazan and Kostroma.While men rate their lives about twice as much as women - in 5 million roubles.Also, the study notes that in regions where there are major incidents of loss of life, the value of human life increases.In particular, the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power plant exacerbated the problem of cash compensation among the population of industrial cities in the East of Russia. Then the government decided to allocate 100 thousand roubles to the families of the victims and one million roubles to the families of the victims.In Kemerovo the value of human life is quite high due to frequent accidents in the mines. In 2007, the families of the victims of accident on mine "anniversary" in addition to a compensation of one million rubles from the owners of the mine, were also allocated allowances from the state.According to previously conducted research, in 2007 the Russians he viewed his life in the amount of slightly less than 3 million rubles, and in 2008 - slightly less than 4 million rubles.As noted by the head of the center, in Western Europe the average size of payments will be $ 1.5 million, and the minimum is 500 thousand dollars. Thus, the Russians saw their lives considerably lower citizens of the developed countries.It is worth noting that in his book "Myths of Economics known Russian economist Sergei Guriev, rector, new economic school, pointed out that human life in Russia is from 1.3 to 3 million dollars.

Children do not benefit, children giving birth to the people
Natalia MakeevaAll known methods of solving the population problem have failed - only great projectThe problem of demographic crises in the population of so-called "civilized" countries don't have any yesterday. In different periods it tried to solve in different ways - from the prohibition of abortion material to stimulate the birth rate. At a certain stage these measures gave the population growth, but not always and not everywhere, not to mention that the results in these cases were often very questionable.Prohibitions of abortion and contraception at this stage of development of society can not even be considered for obvious reasons. Although a certain part of the extreme right and challenge that, obviously, even if this decision was enshrined in law, it, first, would work poorly, and secondly, would cause a lot of internal and external problems, which we will not discuss. To discuss this issue necessarily would have, but on a different historical stage.As for material incentives - measures, of course, delights the heart of the common man, and it solves the problem only superficially. Experts reluctantly, but recognize that the observed increase in the birth rate is a temporary phenomenon, the so-called "delayed birth". Читать полностью -->

Insufferable: On the Road follows the lives of two ex-superheroes, Nocturnus and Galahad, a father and son team who are trying to make ends meet after the reveal of their alter egos. This issue strives to create a realistic portrayal of superheroes where the super villains and world ending events are replaced with debt and unemployment. So does it still manage to thrill and enthrall even without some guy a metal suit trying to blow up the universe? Actually yeah it does.
The story is solid yet interesting. Starting off with an exposition dump informing us on the rise and fall of our dynamic duo, Nocturnus and Galahad. How they were their cities favourite, their dramatic reveal of their identities and Galahads attempt in the world of public speaking. Normally such a method is often rather blunt but here it moves seamlessly into the story. The flow of the comic continues this and we get a great introduction to an interesting story that is motivated more on character interaction rather than events.
The art works well in giving a believable tale of superheroes and works towards helping us understand these characters we have just been introduced to. However some parts feel a little lazy. A couple of the larger panels do seem to be exact copies used 3 or 4 times with only changes in dialogue. Though this does not ruin comic it does feel a little odd after the effort the artists have put into it. I should also say look out for a cameo of Jeff Bridges character, The Dude from the Big Lebowski. Has nothing to do with the story but it's cool to see him.
Overall this comic is an interesting start to hopefully a great story with some characters you will want to follow and learn more about.

Our first week back after half-term has been all about messy play at Playgroup, everyday we explored something new:
- On Monday we had lots of fun with jelly – touching it, spreading it and poking it.
- On Tuesday we made an enormous foot print picture. We all got to cover our feet in paint and walk across a big sheet of paper.
- On Wednesday we experimented with cornflower. We felt it when it was dry then we added water to it and found it could be both runny and hard at the same time!
- On Thursday we played with shaving foam and spread it all over our tables and went home smelling lovely.
- On Friday we went outside and made a giant paint spray picture. Everyone had a go at spraying paint and created a lovely picture to decorate our hall with.
