I Bloomsbury Theatre Guide Bloomsbury. £9.99. Quite the best theatre reference book currently available is put together by Trevor Griffiths (not the playwright) and Carole Woodis (ex-theatre editor of London's City Limits) and is now available in paperback. Entries are detailed and authoritive and. unlike many similar guides. it is pretty much up to date. It gives details of over 300 playwrights amongst its 3000 plus references and there isa very thorough and helpful cross-refe rencing system. An ideal source of background facts.
THINGS (Il'l.-\.\'(}l{
I Things Change Methuen. £4.99. You inevitably miss the charming niavity of Don Ameche's performance as the shoe-maker mistaken for an underworld godfather in this screenplay of David Mamet's movie. but there's still much to enjoy in the terse. snappy. Mafioso dialogue and the compelling drive ofthe plot.
I Interior: Boom Exterior: Clty Methuen. £4.99. An absorbing trio of plays by Anthony Minghella — one for radio. one for stage and one for TV. His writing is perceptive. comic and often poetic. and his characters are real and instantly recognisable. The plays included are Cigarettes and Chocolate. Hang Up and What Iflt's Raining?
r— Itz Sadowitz
Sightings of Sadowitz on TV are about as frequent these days as supermarket openings by Salman Rushdie, and just as likely to cause an uproar. He (Sadowitz) explains. 'I did four minutes live on Acropolis How, very professionally. Then next year I wondered if they wanted me back and they said no. My reputation had just got so over the top, so silly. You know, people were saying don't work with Gerry he'll set fire to your studio and sleep with your children that kinda thing.'
In reality, the rigorous control that TV exerts on performers, such as the militant Glaswegian comedian, has handicapped him in a profession where the yardstick of success is commonly taken as the amount of appearances you have had on the box.
Yet the very premise that a comedian's ability should be judged by the number of times they have been seen on the small screen is anathema to any fan of live performers, such as Sadowitz. 'lsn't it a wonderful thing that one of the last vestiges of enjoyment that you can have is a live performance on stage where you can
say and do what you want? I'm goin' to see Alexei Sayle and I know it'll be worth the effort of leaving the house and actually getting on a bus and travelling to see him do his stuff live.'
As Ben Elton is also appearing in Scotland in October, it seemed appropriate to find out what Sadowitz thought of the southern comic who can talk the back legs off a whole field of donkeys, and who is so at home in the medium of TV. 'l've always hated him. I said he was shite before he was born. I mean, doing Wogan, who is the epitome of the cosy, British, sell-out star, not what you'd expect from someone with pretensions to having a serious point of view. Still, his mother loves him, little bastard!'
Unlike Elton, Sadowitz's vitriolic invective bites and savages life, which he describes as 'shite'. Does it bother him if people take offence? 'Yeah I get extremely upset when people get upset. lget sick with worry about it. It means We failed in myjob. I know there's a lot of anger and a lot of ranting and raving, but if they ever lose sight of the fact that I'm a comedian and take it seriously then partly I've failed and partly they've falled.'
His wayward genius for hating everything means he will probably never make it as a TV star, but, surely for that very reason, all the more worth catching live. When the two comedians converge on Scotland, the better known
3 Ben Elton may find he'll have to prove
; he's not becoming acceptable, cosy,
fireside entertainment—something Sadowitz will never be. (Boss Parsons) Gerry Sadowitz is at the Glasgow College of Technology, 4 Oct, phone 041 332 0681 for details and at Moray House College, 7 Oct, 9pm, 24.
Ben Elton is at Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre, 9 a12-15 Oct, 7pm, £5—£7.
On the evidence ofeleven year-old Christian Shaw. in Paisley. 1697. seven people were found guilty of witchcraft. ()ne ofthcm commited suicide and the other six were strangled. Even for those times. this is an extraordinary story. Christian Shaw. who went on to found the Paisley thread weaving industry. secured the convictions entirely on the strenglh of herown testimony: 'She began her l convulsive fits some
months before the I warrants were issued. As
surgeons and ministers wrestled with her illness. she began to tell offcllow villagers appearing to her in visions; witches. who tormented her in body and
Liz Gardner. director and co-author of the play. is unwilling to enforce a particular message from the macabre incident. "The obvious risk in presentingthis kind of play is that people might come in expecting a ('aledonian version of The ('rttcihle. But that's not it at all. Arthur Miller made certain assumptions about the Salem witch-trials in order to suit his own, very specific purposes. I think
that we are more concerned with the question: why did she do it'."
So why did she do it? 'Christian Shaw shows all the classical symptoms of clinical paranoia; bending double. vomiting. that sort ofthing. Given this. it's easy to see her as a malicious fake. or a troubled little girl. but . . .' But? 'Strange things have happened. Contact with relics from the Paisley witch-hunt has invariably brought about bizarre effects and accidents. And they're still going on.' (Philip Kingsley)
Fable Vision will run atthe Tron Theatre. 63 'I'rongate. Glasgow, 10—15 October at 7. 30pm.
DRAM DRAMA 'Theatre companies are like The Old Firm without the bigotry. Some. like Rangers. try to buy a good team whilst those like Celtic work with each other and for each other.' There's little doubt that Charles Nowosielski sees the Brunton Theatre Company, which has been under his artistic control
for the last four years. as Celtic rather than the 'Gers. 'The Arts Council Grant has been laughable. For this season's shows we've had to adapt the set from Rising to suit Whisky Galore and then adapt that forAnimal Farm.' Nowosielski claims that the prospect of transposing to the theatre a story which is as much a part of Scottish folklore as neeps 'n' tatties hasn't given him any sleepless nights. 'What the film gained in locations and costumes. we can counter with realism. That's the great attraction ofthis piece. the characters are real people with whom we can all associate.' (Philip Parr) Whisky Galore is at the Brunton Theatre. Musselburgh, Wed 4—Sat 21 Oct at 7.30pm.
'Lock up your daughters—
the English actors're in town!' Thus (or similarly) went the cry around 17th-century Europe when any of several English troupes went out on tour. Their style of performance — a sort of souped-up commedia dell 'arte with social satire thrown in — has been adopted by the Medieval Players for their current production of Courage. written by Julian Hilton from the same source as Brecht's Mother Courage.
'Bye-laws would be passed to stop young girls from joining their loyal following.' says llilton. But fame. sex and money are not exactly what the Medieval Players are after. In what llilton describes as a 'slight change ofdirection'. they're producing his adaptation of Grimmelshausen's novel about the Thirty Years' War to articulate strictly modern concerns.
'lt's about people on the margins ofa war.' explains Hilton. 'a war that stripped down morality. leaving just greed and indifference to other people's needs. And the central character is a woman facing pressures generated by a male-dominated situation. ller strategy for survival eventually corrupts her. She faces quite a stark choice between money and children. and it seems to me there was a connection in Grimmelshausen's mind between greed and infertility. or lack of creativity. It's strange how universal it is, because some scenes are direct translations, and people assume they're the new
'It's not a didactic play
though — in that sense it's different from Brecht — the Medieval Players want to give a Good Night Out, and they have a simple. "show not tell" style. The characters are cartoon-like and graphic. and I think that strong element of black humour was what led Brecht to the same source.' (Andrew Burnet)
Courage is at the Palace Theatre. Kilmarnock Tue 10; MacRobertArts Centre. Stirling Wed [1 . Thurs 12 and Paisley Arts Centre Fri 13.
llenrik lbsen's Ghosts offers roughly as much hope for future success against adversity as a Scottish Tory's electoral campaign. At the close of the play. one is left wondering what chance the individual has against the swamping conventions of society. But this was in 19th Century Norway. I asked director Robert Carson what role lbsen's tome had to play in the new, improved. freer society ofThatcher's Britain.
'The play stresses the fight of the individual against society. In order to function as a social animal you must adapt to the environment you're in — and that has a cost.'That cost is one of individual liberty but Carson believes that our glorious leader has exacerbated the limits which the ghosts of convention place on us mere mortals.
'Thatcher has recreated the values where the family is the basic social unit. There's been a swing back to ideals which have no relevance. Often. the mother. father and two kids ideal doesn't work and yet the Tories have introduced laws which define 'the family" in those terms. lbsen is against such hypocrisy. lies. illusions and false ideals.'
With the other. much more obvious. analogy — Oswald's inherited syphilis could be seen as a metaphor for AIDS — the play's power should be undiminished.
(Philip Parr) Ghosts will be at The Lyceum 'l'h eatre from Thurs 5 ()ct (free preview) until Sat 21 Oct (except Sundays).

Publishers Weekly Book Review
Several years ago I entered THE WILCO PROJECT in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest. The book was selected as a Semifinalist (it made the cut from 5000 entries to 836). As a result of my participation in the contest the book received the following review from PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
THE WILCO PROJECT combines murder mystery with elements of a technological thriller, blending the genres in a deftly written manuscript. The author provides a gripping opening with a female college student murdered while playing a mysterious campus-wide game in the woods. Readers are soon introduced to the rest of the cast of characters: Dr Steven Archer, former Internet entrepreneur turned professor, who leads a team of young computer programmers in the creation of the ultimate cell phone game; Bobbi, a school reporter, determined to find out the truth about the murder, even if it means putting her own life in jeopardy; Jonathan Holden, creator of the game and all around cad; Patricia, the angry assistant on the team who is sleeping with the head of the wireless company, Larry Hershman; and finally, Peter, a techno-geek who is invisible. After Archer discovers that the dead girl is Jonathan's ex-fiance, he realizes that the The Wilco Project is a game of hide-and-seek, in which players use the phone to locate and destroy enemies. As Archer finds himself investigating the first murder and a subsequent one, he is led down one path after another. While this plot is a new take on an old thriller genre, the author delivers a well-executed thriller.
Only a couple of days left until the official launch of the book. You can pre-order now at: http://www.solsticepublishing.com/products/The-Wilco-Project.html for the eBook and http://www.solsticepublishing.com/products/The-Wilco-Project-(Print).html for the print version.

This is my sermon for Trinity Sunday 2016 at Grace Anglican Church.
Introduction: theology & history
We've just read through the Quincunque Vult, commonly known as the Athanasian Creed. St. Athanasius was a hero of the Faith; he lived in the 300's during one of the critical moments of Church history when Christianity was just becoming legal and popular, and all manner of false teachings were beginning to flourish and spread. Athanasius mostly had to deal with the heresy called Arianism, based on the teachings of his contemporary, Arius, who taught that "there once was a time when Christ did not exist." Arius said that Jesus was God, but just that Jesus was not always God. In the beginning was God the Father; the Son of God comes later. The more the Early Church teachers and leaders reflected on this and the Scriptures, the more they realized that this just wouldn't do. If Jesus really is God, as the Scriptures and liturgy had been proclaiming ever since the time of the Apostles, then he must always have been God, because God is eternal. If Jesus really is God, he must be co-eternal with the Father.
So as these theological ramifications were being worked out, the subject of the Holy Spirit also came into the picture. The term "trinity" was coined in the generation before Athanasius, and was quickly adopted as the best word available to describe the Godhead. Much ink was spilled in those early centuries over how to explain this Trinity without falling into paradox and contradiction. How can we talk about three things: the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, and yet be talking about one God? The standard Creed, written in Nicea in 325 and revised in Constantinople in 381, which we normally say together every Sunday, assumes the doctrine of the Trinity, but doesn't really explain it. And so today we've read this "Athanasian Creed" instead. Despite the nickname, it was not actually written by Saint Athanasius, but by his successors in his honor.
Introduction: ordinary faith
Now, perhaps you're feeling a bit wary at this point – Fr. Brench is about to go into this long confusing theological thingy and I'm not going to have any idea of how this is going to be useful or important in my life. Well, you'd be half right. We are going to be diving into some real theology this morning, but I hope that its relevance and usefulness will remain clear throughout.
Because, first of all, looking at the doctrine of the Trinity is really the most foundational answer to the big question: "Who is God?" This may not be a question that non-Christians directly ask you very often, but it is often assumed in the way they evaluate us. Whenever there is even a hint of interest or curiosity in faith and religion, the unspoken question is "who is God?" And it's one of the most important questions that anyone could ever ask! So it's something we should give some thought to before we get put on the spot!
In actual conversation, though, you're probably more likely to be asked a slightly different question: "Who is God to you?" This is the question of a pluralist; someone who does not have a defined belief system worked out, and is open to many possibilities of gods, even contradictory ones. Unfortunately, sometimes Christians ask this question too. "I like to think of God as love" one will say. "I like how God is so holy and just, smiting the wicked in the end," another will answer. Very easily we can latch on to one aspect or image of God, claim it as our own, and rewrite both our theology and our Bible according to that one favorite thing. Even otherwise healthy churches fall into this mistake sometimes by talking about "Jesus-only" to the virtual exclusion of the Father and the Spirit. We have to remember that the question "who is God to you" is a movement towards inventing a god in our own image, rather than respecting the fact that we were made in God's image.
Starting on His terms: what & who is God?
So let us approach the subject of the Trinity on God's own terms instead of our own. His revelation of himself through the Prophets and Apostles, definitively collected in the Scriptures, and mulled over by the Church for these two thousand years, have much to offer us. The most important starting point to the vast majority of God's people, both before Christ and after Christ, is the oneness of God. We are a monotheistic religion: The LORD is God, there is none other. Established in Deuteronomy 6 and repeated by Jesus in Mark 12, the most important commandment of loving God with all our heart, mind, and strength is prefaced by this theological statement: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." There is one true God.
As a result, when we talk about the Father and the Son and the Spirit, we have what we call the unity of substance. This teaching can be found throughout the Scriptures in many forms. Psalm 33:6 says, "by the Word of the Lord were the heavens established, and all the power of them by the Spirit of his mouth." Here we see that the Word and Spirit are coordinate realities; the work of God is accomplished through both. Another hint, indeed one of the most important Trinitarian references in the entire Bible is in Matthew 28:20, where Jesus instructs us to baptize people "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Given how fundamentally important Holy Baptism is, the fact that Jesus puts his Father, himself, and the Spirit on an equal footing here makes it clear almost from this alone that the three are one-in-the-same God.
With the "what" of God being established as one being, we can now turn to the "who" of God: a trinity of persons. Perhaps this picture (called "the shield of the Trinity") can be helpful to explain this.
The one God is in the center of the picture. Above it you see that the Father is God. Below it you see also that the Son is God and the Spirit is God. But when you consider the Father or the Son or the Spirit on their own, they are not the same as one another. Somehow, despite their unity of substance, having the same Being, the three are distinct from one another. This has generally been explained as follows.
- The Father is ingenerate, the source or fountainhead of deity. Relationally speaking, the Father is the starting-point for understanding God.
- The Son is begotten of the Father (John 1:14, 1:18, 3:16, 3:18).
- The Spirit proceeds (is breathed out) from the Father (John 15:26). This gets tricky because in the Creed we're used to saying that the Spirit proceeds "from the Father and the Son." This is standard in the Western Church but rejected in the East. Although the Gospel of John says the Spirit only proceeds from the Father, the phrase "and the Son" is added because the Spirit is sent into the world from the Father through the Son. A number of times the Spirit is called "the Spirit of Christ" in the New Testament.
An Illustration used by St. Gregory of Nyssa can help put this another way: one torch passes the same fire to a second, and a third torch. Thus you have one fire, yet three torches. A caveat must be added, though, that the 'lighting' of the second and third torches is not an historic event, but a relational description. This is why we say the Son is eternally begotten of the Father. There never was a time when the Son or Spirit did not exist; they are equal with one another and the Father in every aspect of Godhood.
How to talk to God (or talk about God)!
Hopefully this helps you make greater sense of the Athanasian Creed. It takes what I've explained and spells it out in greater detail. It also uses very strong language at the beginning and end because it was written during a time of enormous controversy as many people were preaching a false Christ, rejecting the divinity of the Holy Spirit, dividing the Trinity into three gods, and other such faith-killing errors. Our reception and use of this Creed is not a scare tactic, as if failure to understand it and sign it results in our damnation. Rather, we use it as a teaching document and a reminder that if we reject the teachings of Christ and his Apostles, we are rejecting the very source of life that God has provided for us.
And, as if knowing better who and what God is isn't enough for us, we can benefit from the doctrine of the Trinity in other ways.
First of all, grasping the basics of the Trinity helps us to pray. Jesus taught his disciples to pray "Our Father." Many Christians today insist on completing their prayers with "in Jesus' name, amen. The New Testament epistles teach us to pray in the power of the Spirit. The doctrine of the Trinity brings this all together: we pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, enabled or empowered by the Holy Spirit. Many of our Collects are very formulaic about this: they begin by addressing God the Father, and then end with the phrase "through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end." Again, it's the same dynamic of prayer at work, and we're affirming the simultaneous Three-ness and Oneness of God while we're at it.
Additionally, having this basic grasp of the Trinity is helpful in telling others about the faith. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the Trinity in the world around us. Muslims, especially, have been known to make grossly inaccurate pictures of the Trinity in an effort to undermine Christians' faith and convert them to Islam. In college I saw a pamphlet with a picture of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus with the caption "Holy Trinity Or Three Gods? Find out more at the Muslim Students' Association." Jews, also, criticize Christianity for straying from the faith of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob because we "also" worship a Jewish man named Jesus. Again, they don't understand what we're talking about. And from another direction, Atheists sometimes mock and ridicule Christians. Among the many points of our beliefs that are misunderstood and misrepresented is the Trinity, such that some assert that we claim that Jesus is his own father. Of course this is nonsense, Jesus is the Son of the Father; although both are God, the Father is not the Son. When we get lazy and simplistic, other people treat us accordingly. Now, sure, people who want to mock us will always find something to mock us about. But it does us no favors to feed the flames of their scorn.
So even though the Trinity is one of the most confusing doctrines in all of Christian teaching, it is something for which we give thanks. There's something comforting about the fact that God is more complicated than we can handle. It's almost a proof of his reality, that He is beyond human comprehension and we can only understand his Trinity-in-Unity from a distance. It keeps us both intellectually challenged and intellectually humbled. There's always more to say on the subject, but we'll leave it at that for today. Let us give thanks to God for his great gift of self-revelation, that even though we can't fully understand him, we can still know him, and know that he perfectly understands and knows us!

Susan HayesCulleton, Founder
Susan is an international keynote speaker, a financial trainer and a Chartered Financial Analyst. She has always been fascinated by the world of business: at three she started a "travel agency" selling faraway destinations to her dolls and teddy bears... Apparently her customers were always delighted with her service!
Her vision is a world in which women are confident in their abilities and stop comparing themselves to others only to find themselves wanting. A world in which women don't constantly play down their immense skills and abilities.
There is room for the super-confident, super-ambitious careerwoman, and there is room for the stay-at-home mammy who loves her home and family - but still wants the stimulation and challenge of an exciting job. Both of them want to lead fulfilling lives and fully manifest their potential.
Ardle Culleton, Founder
Ardle is a Qualified Financial Advisor with the Institute of Bankers and a member of the CFA Society Ireland. He has twenty years' experience in the financial industry: Stock Market Investing, #DIYInvestor, Investment Clubs, Life & Pensions.
He has seen how women sometimes hold themselves back and doubt themselves, when they're perfectly qualified and more than able for a job. Because it is so sad that their potential remains hidden instead of flourishing, Ardle came on board the Savvy Women project from day 1.
Caroline Maher, Personal Assistant to Susan HayesCulleton
After years at home taking care of the children, Caroline wanted a job that would allow her to make the most of her splendid organizational skills: running a house efficiently and raising children without losing your sanity doesn't happen by accident, after all.
However, she was worried that employers would only see the "mammy" in her, and that it wouldn't be possible to get the flexibility she absolutely needed.
She has found it all by working from home as a personal assistant. When she first started out, she had never sent an email: now she coordinates schedules over different time zones, updates blogs and websites and fulfills online orders - it's all in a day's work. And she's on time to pick up the children from school. And bake them scones and buns.
Maurice Sweeney, Head of Digital Marketing
Maurice hails from Enniscrone in Co. Sligo. Maurice brings a fresh outlook and original ideas that we're excited to see him implement to boost our social media channels. He obtained a Degree in Business Studies in Management Practice from IT Sligo as a Mature Student, after returning from a 10 year career stint in Dublin.

COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Colleton County deputies say they rescued a man in a sinking boat on Thursday morning.
Dispatchers received the call around 8 a.m. for someone in a sinking boat with the caller saying he traveled roughly a mile up the Ashepoo River before he realized the boat was taking on water and he couldn't get to safety.
As deputies were responding, the man told dispatchers he had about one foot remaining until the boat was completely submerged.
The Colleton County Sheriff's Office then worked with Colleton County Fire-Rescue and SCDNR to rescue the man and take him to safety. They were also able to free his boat from an embankment to prevent it from sinking.
"Today we didn't just save a life we also saved a man's peace of mind," Colleton County Sheriff R.A. Strickland said. "Due to the heroic actions of these first responders he is safe and still able to enjoy his favorite pastime on the water."

March 8th, 2009
There were two big events this week: the British Studies field trip to Belvoir Castle and the Southwell Workhouse, and the Talent Show.
The British Studies field trip was this past Wednesday, March 5th. We boarded the coaches at 8 and first went to Belvoir Castle (pronounced Beaver, not Belvoir. Why? I haven't a clue). The castle is, quite literally, stunningly beautiful. And it's still lived in, too. Imagine living in the rooms pictured below! Of course, this was only half of the castle, since the other half is the actual residence of the Duke and Duchess and their family. Still, the half we saw is simple astounding.
From the castle, we headed back to Harlaxton for lunch and a lecture and then out to the Southwell Workhouse, which was quite grim (and freezing) in comparison.
The other main even of the week was the Talent Show. There were quite a few numbers, but only a handful were really good. Josh and Rachel did the dance from Dirty Dancing, which was great, partly because they're both great dancers (Rachel is majoring in dance).
There was also balloon animals, Hallelujah performed by Elise and Stephen Mills, and then "Josh-Joe and Joe-Josh." All in all, a jolly good time, and well worth skipping work-study (with permission).

Romp 94
2019 Men's Indie Ski
Crested Butte, Colo.–based ROMP makes custom skis that'll get any skier excited, but most of its stock options are pretty sweet too. Case in point: The ROMP 94 is fairly traditionally shaped with a little rocker in the front and a flat tail, but keeps everything in a tight, high-performing package that is a carving knockout in variable and hard snow. While it could make a variety of turn shapes, it was most at home in GS- sized arcs.
Strength: Hard-Snow Integrity
Weakness: Playfulness

|Digging is my middle name!
|~ the Driller
|Class Details
|Voice Pitch
The Driller is one of the four playable dwarves in the game. As the name implies he is the expert digger of the team, able to carve rock to his will with his dual-wielded powerdrills. He is a master of crowd control, with his weapons excelling against large crowds of enemies.
About[edit | edit source]
|As the Driller, you'll be equipped with a set of Titanium Powerdrills. Your job is to clear any blocked tunnels and obstacles in the path of your team, and in combat you are a force to be reckoned with: Your drills make short work of most enemies up close, and for longer range engagements you are equipped with a heavy duty Flamethrower.
|~ Class Description
As the Driller, it is your job to create stairways, pathways and clear obstacles for your team using your Titanium Powerdrills. You are equipped to control large hordes of enemies using your CRSPR Flamethrower which will slowly incinerate your foes, and instantly kill weaker creatures. While your flamethrower is your first priority, you are equipped with a dependable Subata 120 pistol sidearm, and Satchel Charges for dealing with beefier opponents.
The Driller has three grenades to pick from; the Impact Axe which is tossed and deals extreme impact damage to enemies, the HE Grenade which functions as a standard frag, and the Neurotoxin Grenade which detonates in a cloud of toxic (and highly volatile) gas and can explode if ignited.
With his powerful drills and immensely powerful C4, the Driller is able to cleave through rock like a hot knife through butter. It's not uncommon to see Drillers shaping the environment to their will, such as in Salvage Operation levels where the Powerdrills can be used to break out extra space around the Uplink or Fuel Cells. During extraction phases, Drillers can also create long tunnels to the Drop Pod, which is often safer and quicker than following the M.U.L.E..
Though the Driller can use his drills for combat, it is often easier to use his dedicated weapons. His Flamethrower is an excellent crowd control weapon, capable of piercing armor and targets alike to deal a lot of damage quickly. Foes caught in the red-hot flames will suffer afterburn which deals extra damage over time, while flames which touch the ground become "Sticky Flames" which linger on the ground and damage foes who pass through them. His Flamethrower deals extra damage to Mactera enemy types and Glyphids in the Glacial Strata, which are the icy variants.
The Driller has arguably some of the most unique unlockable weapons. The Cryo Cannon doesn't deal nearly as much direct damage as the Flamethrower but its ability to freeze foes (given enough exposure) will cause them to take massively increased damage while immobilizing them, making them easy targets. The Plasma Charger is a unique pistol which can fire rapid-fire bursts or charge up to fire a massive energy ball which deals triple the damage of a standard shot. With the right upgrades this weapon can blast through multiple targets and explode on contact with the world, giving it deceptively high damage potential.
For all his benefits however, the Driller does have considerable flaws. His Powerdrills are vulnerable to overheating if used constantly and are tied to a limited fuel supply. They are also somehow unable to dig ores, requiring the manual use of a Pickaxe. His Flamethrower excels against multiple targets but struggles against larger foes with health to spare due to its mediocre base damage, particularly against Glyphid Praetorians and Dreadnoughts (the latter especially, as it resists half of all fire damage). His C4 is also capable of dealing immense damage to teammates, sometimes downing them if they are caught in the blast.
Equipment[edit | edit source]
All classes have eight pieces of gear, each of which can be individually upgraded using credits and crafting resources. There's currently two unlockable weapons per class, each weapon has their own assignment. Once an assignment for a weapon has been completed it then can be purchased within the upgrade terminal.
|Initial Stats
CRSPR Flamethrower
|When bullets or blunt force just don't cut it, a sea of roaring, sticky napalm usually does.
Practically never explodes in your face.
Cryo Cannon
7600 120 80
|Mad geniuses have tried perfecting this implement for as long as anyone can remember,
but our lads at R&D seem to have perfected it! Handily portable (for a dwarf, anyway),
it does exactly what you think: It's a friggin' freeze ray. Let 'em have it.
Subata 120
|A small, light semi-automatic for small, light dwarves.
More deadly than it appears.
8200 110 70 25
|Bullets are so last year.
Instead, why not incinerate your enemies from the inside out with a highly experimental anti-matter-powered gun firing supercharged plasma bolts?
What's the worst that could happen? (If you find out, please report to R&D)
Reinforced Power Drills
|One of the classic workhorses of DRG, the twin-linked Power Drill makes short work of more or less anything unfortunate enough to be in front of it.
That includes your teammates, mind.
Satchel Charge
|Be it an obstacle or particularly thickheaded adversary, a good ol' Satchel Charge usually gets the job done.
Stand well back before hitting the trigger.
Basic Pickaxe
|No respectable miner would leave home without it.
Medium-Intensity Flare
|A souped-up version of the standard issue DRG Emergency Flare. It lights up brighter and stays lit for longer - the best of both worlds.
Note: DRG is not liable for any damages caused by irate local fauna exposed to unfamiliar lights for too long.
Impact Axe
|The Impact Axe is the connoisseur choice for the dwarf of tomorrow.
Compact and easy to carry, extends to full size upon throwing, and discharges a lethal burst of electricity upon impact with any living target.
Can be safely retrieved by the user in case of bad aim.
High Explosive Grenade
5 1200 10
|A standard high-explosive grenade with a medium kill radius. Can be used to remove dirt or bugs or both.
Neurotoxin Grenade
10 3400 20
|Releases a cloud of slow-acting toxins engineered to exclusively affect life indigenous to Hoxxes IV. WARNING: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE!
"Mole" Armor Rig
|Each set of DRG issue armor is mounted on a highly modifiable undersuit, capable of transforming the capabilities of the armor considerably.
Regrettably, R&D has as yet proven unable to utilize the suit's stillsuit capacity towards onboard production of alcohol.
Basic Tips and Strategy[edit | edit source]
- CRSPR Flamethrower
- Exposing a creature to flames long enough will set them on fire, dealing extra damage.
- Fire that touches the ground leaves behind "Sticky Flames" which linger on the ground and deal extra Fire damage.
- The Flamethrower deals bonus damage to Mactera enemy types, it also deals bonus damage to Glacial Strata enemy variations.
- It is capable of burning Spider Webs.
- Cryo Cannon
- Direct damage from the Cryo Cannon is limited, but freezing enemies solid will prevent them from performing many of their unique attacks.
- Freezing a Glyphid Exploder will prevent it from detonating, a Glyphid Praetorian from emitting poison gas and a Glyphid Brood Nexus from creating Glyphid Spawns.
- Pair up Cryo Cannon's freezing with the Vampire perk to restore health by easily breaking frozen targets with the Pickaxe.
- Be mindful that your teammates can also be frozen by this weapon.
- Direct damage from the Cryo Cannon is limited, but freezing enemies solid will prevent them from performing many of their unique attacks.
- Experimental Plasma Charger
- It is capable of burning Spider Web, but must be shot at the top of the web.
- Reinforced Power Drills
- Use the drills to quickly mine tunnels for unreachable areas.
- The drills triggers the Vampire perk, ensuring solid health regeneration when Berzerker is in cooldown or unequipped.
- During Salvage Operations the driller can dig out any walls around the triangulation bubble for more room to defend.
- During Extraction, it is often easier for the Driller to dig out a large tunnel straight to the Drop Pod rather than follow the M.U.L.E..
- Satchel Charge
- Two Satchel Charges are often enough to take down Dreadnought's shell health bar.
- This weapon is capable of dealing immense damage to teammates. Give allies plenty of time to escape the explosion radius so they are not caught in the blast, even if it means letting enemies escape the radius too.
- Impact Axe
- Before resupplying make sure you aren't carrying more than four axes, since any extra axes will go to waste upon resupply. Throw any additional axes nearby and pick them up when needed, effectively storing more axes for later.
- Don't reclaim axes while you're carrying eight, the axe will disappear without increasing your axe count.
- Before resupplying make sure you aren't carrying more than four axes, since any extra axes will go to waste upon resupply. Throw any additional axes nearby and pick them up when needed, effectively storing more axes for later.
- High Explosive Grenade
- This is a standard frag grenade with no unique properties. Throw it into tightly packed groups of enemies to ensure the most use out of the explosion.
- Neurotoxin Grenade
- This grenade acts in two stages; when thrown it detonates into a giant cloud of gas which deals damage to enemies slowly. Oneself and allies will not take damage from the gas. The gas can later be ignited with the Driller's own flamethrower or a Gunner's Incendiary Grenade to create a fiery explosion, which actually can deal damage to allies.
- It is best to only use this grenade while having the Flamethrower carried to ensure you can trigger the explosion without needing outside aid.
- The grenade's gas explosion can also be triggered via the Incendiary Grenade.
Voice Responses[edit | edit source]
Class Selected[edit | edit source]
- "Step aside, wimps!"
- "Obstacle? More like a granite smoothie once I'm done."
- "Digging is my middle name!"
- "If it ain't drillable, it's probably flammable."
- "Let me handle the digging!"
- "I will drill through anything!"
- "Fueled up and raring to go!"
- "I eat rock for breakfast!"
- "Heavy duty excavatin'...ain't no finer thing."
- "Ain't no obstacle I can't clear!"
- "Drill'em and grill'em!"
- "Just call me the DRILLDOZER!"

Marching Your Firm to the Right Cadence
Huffington Post
Defining, maintaining, and refining a cadence is key to keeping a company "accountable and authentic to everyone it touches," according to the book
"Think Big, Act Bigger"
Jeffrey Hayzlett
. He also discusses how cadence is "your company's river—its culture and systems." The better it flows within the company, "the more it flows through anyone it touches, from employees to vendors to customers."
Establishing a successful operating pace not only makes your employees feel more comfortable and productive but also gives clients an additional level of assurance. Secure in the knowledge that a creative firm will turn around work within a certain amount of time, they are more likely to rely on that firm as a creative partner.
Internal cadence must come before external; once your team is in a good place in regard to workflow and expectations, you can proceed to educate clients on how timely decision-making will affect the delivery.
Set clear expectations
At the outset, sit down with your team and the client, and explain the plan ahead so it is clear to everyone involved. You may experience some pushback from employees concerned that a rigid schedule may hamper their creative efforts, or force them to rush their process. Discuss those concerns, as well as benchmarks and goals that are dependent on following this process. Pacing in a reasonable manner will take potential delays into account.
Everybody's buy-in is necessary. The next step is the creation of an internal timeline for projects, with checks and balances in place before the client sees anything. How much time can the team comfortably devote to ideation? How long does it usually take to receive feedback from a client, and incorporate those notes into the planning? Working collaboratively to answer these questions will help frame a suitable rhythm for the team.
Don't reinvent the wheel with each job.
Set up a disciplined system so you can control the workflow and focus on what is important. Keep everyone accountable for their time with a time-management system. This will allow you to see clearly where you stand in your budget. Factor in a careful recording of change orders as part of your process, and check in periodically along the timeline to communicate where you stand, notifying the client if necessary. Your team will get accustomed to the idea that your firm works to a set process.
Cadence is all about making life manageable for everyone, and being able to manage and juggle all we do. It's the difference between comfort and discomfort, clarity and chaos. And in this balanced environment, you can nurture creativity.

The Three Cs of Success
UFV Cascades athletics staff, coaches, and student-athletes strive for excellence in:
- Competition
- Classroom
- Community
Varsity athletics began in 1983 in what was then known as Fraser Valley College. Men's basketball was the first varsity sport followed by the additions of women's basketball (1985), men's soccer (1987), women's soccer (1989), rowing (2001), men's and women's volleyball (2002), and golf (2002).
In more than 25 years of varsity athletics, UFV has boasted a track record as one of the most decorated post-secondary athletic programs in the nation. The Cascades have amassed a total of three national championships, 15 provincial championships, and have seen 129 student-athletes named provincial all-stars.
The UFV men's basketball team captured the school's first-ever national title in 2000 and went on to take the title again in 2002 and 2004, giving them three national championships in a five-year span. The women's basketball team won five straight provincial championships, bringing their all-time total to ten.
In the fall of 2006 the basketball teams, along with men's and women's soccer, joined the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) league. UFV currently competes in the Canada West conference, along with the likes of UBC, Simon Fraser, UVIC, and Trinity Western.
UFV has demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence and makes it a priority for its student-athletes. UFV has had several Academic All-Canadians named, including women's basketball star Jamie Born (2003), men's soccer star Jordan Langelaar (2004), women's volleyball player Delayne Peters (2007), and men's volleyball player Derek Fletcher (2008).
UFV mandates a weekly study hall for all athletes with a GPA under 3.5. At study hall student-athletes receive the opportunity for one-on-one academic assistance and guidance from an academic coach. UFV also gives out more than $100,000 worth of scholarships to its student-athletes every year.
The Cascades are committed to bettering the UFV community, the Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Mission communities in which campuses are located, and the communities of individual staff, coaches, and student-athletes. The Cascades aim is to make a positive impact on the communities in which they study, work, play, and compete. Through the "Cascades in the Community" initiative, they fill a variety of needs through community service projects.
Let us know how you think the Cascades in the Community can help your community group by getting involved. Whether it is volunteers, expertise, equipment, gym usage let us know how we can help and get involved. It is our ultimate objective to present our student-athletes with community service experiences that will have a profound effect on them. We hope that through these experiences our student athletes will continue to give back to their communities well after graduation from UFV.

The City with A Postcard Welcome
Here's a beautiful shot of downtown Pittsburgh as you come through the Fort Pitt tunnels and onto the Ft. Pitt bridge. This is the main entry into downtown from the airport, and it's many people's first introduction to the Golden Triangle.

The Davidsen family has been serving the famous "smørrebrød" since 1888. It all began when guests of Oskar Davidsen's wine bar discovered his wife, Petra's Danish open sandwiches. They enjoyed it so much that regulars went there every day at lunch time to order her creations. The word spread and her sandwiches became famous all over the country.
The famous "smørrebrød" list with a Danish theme has 178 variations and is 140 centimeters long. It is considered the longest in the world, which is why it has made the Guinness Book of Records. The best part is that the quality of sandwiches has been maintained as it was passed on for generations in the past 100 years. Now there are already 250 variations of "smørrebrød" with some items named after famous people.
When Ida Davidsen, the fourth generation joined the family business she became the "ambassador of smørrebrød" by making it famous outside Denmark. She prepared them for the guests Restaurant Scandia in Hollywood, passengers of British Airways and Canadian Pacific and the Danish restaurant at the Hotel Maksuod Plaza in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Visit their cozy restaurant and try their delectable "smørrebrød" or check out http://www.idadavidsen.dk/ for more information.

It can seem like you will never lose weight. It is easy to lose motivation from one day to the next. How come it does not work that way for everyone? It is possible to lose weight and keep it off. What is their secret?
It is critical to set a goal to strive for once you decide to work on losing weight. Do you simply yearn to fit into your old clothes, or do you actually want to make a huge reduction in your weight? Are you interested in feeling more fit and improving your overall health? When you have goals set it will give you something to work towards.
Keeping a chart of your weight loss gives you a nice visual record of how far along you are on your weight-loss journey. Writing down your weight once a week, and keeping a written record of everything you eat and drink will help you decide to continue what you are doing, or make changes to your eating habits. Writing in your weight loss journal helps you stay accountable and make better eating choices over time.
Don't allow yourself to be hungry all the time. This will make you more likely to binge on unhealthy foods. Stay away from this trap. Therefore, have your meals planned out in advance. When you are going to be out of your home, take your snacks with you. Going forward, practice the art of packing a brown bag lunch. Not only will this help you drop the pounds, but it will also help you save cash.
Eating right and keeping up to your regular exercise regimen is the best way to lose weight. Rather than aiming for exercising daily and burning out, try to schedule 3 or four workouts a week. If exercise appears to be boring or tedious to you, you should try to find other activities that are more fun and enjoyable to incorporate into your workout routine. Join a dance club or class, for example, if you already enjoy dancing.
In order to avoid eating junk food, you should get it out of your house. Keep your kitchen empty of junk food. If it is not laying around then you will not eat it. Make sure you have easy access to healthy foods instead. Eating healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, and granola can be a great way to help you stay on track between meals. Do not buy foods you know you will overindulge in. If you do not have these in your home, you can not indulge in them.
While you are trying to lose weight, ask your friends for support. While you are the one in charge of your weight loss, having a support system will help you to stay motivated. Make sure there are people that you can talk to when you're worn out or having a hard time. They can give you the support that you need as you go through your weight loss program.

Retention has been at the forefront of Trent's focus in the past year. This focus on retention has lead to the creation of a Retention Committee, the Rebound Program and most recently to the undertaking of a Retention Review.
The retention review, conducted by external reviewer and Vice President Student Affairs at Laurier University, David McMurray in conjunction with Professor Gillian Balfour from Trent's sociology department and Tara Harrington from the University Secretariat, aims to identify recommendations on how to improve retention at Trent University.
"Trent's retention rate is not as high as it could be," noted Nona Robinson, Associate Vice President at the Office of Student Affairs.
The reasons for this are varied. The review aims to narrow down the reasons that students may choose to leave Trent, and provide focused solutions to them and suggest specific programs.
McMurray visited campus on Feb. 29 and March 1, where he met with student leaders, representatives from college cabinets, the TCSA and the TBSA.
In addition, he met with college heads, some faculty, student services staff, senior administrators and members of the Retention Committee.
Alumni affairs, the Board of Governors, Trent Durham, the First Peoples House of Learning and the Trent International Program were also included in McMurray's brief visit to campus.
McMurray also received information from academic and student service united, retention data and institutional research on the subject to inform his review.
The Retention Review will focus on various aspects that relate to retention. The review guidelines focus on institutional aspects, teaching and learning, enrolment management, student engagement and support, research and assessment and career development and services.
Because of its wide scope, the review demonstrates that retention is a complex issue that concerns all facets of university life.
The retention review is particularly focusing on how students define student success.
Alaine Spiwak, who sits on the Retention Committee, noted that this question allows for additional student issues to be highlighted. As a result, she responded the question with a clear statement that student success is correlated to having student voices heard. In addition, student success spans success in academics, engagement with the student community and a sense of belonging to Trent University.
Contrary to the Internationalization Review and the Traill College Review, the Retention Review has been more open to student voices.
Although McMurray did meet with the Retention Committee and student leaders, the process was not open for all Trent University students, who may be affected, to have a voice.
Spiwak, president of the Trent Central Student Association noted that because the series of reviews (Internationalization and Traill College) that Trent has recently undergone have the potential to impact policy and drive change that will shape the future of the university, it is important for student voices to be heard and for students to push for the issues that are most relevant to them.
If you have any input related to any of the reviews being conducted at Trent, email email@example.com.

Quotable Monday
Is today's American Church more like the Early Church in the first few centuries......
Justin Martyr sketched Christian love this way: "We who used to value the acquisition of wealth and possessions more than anything else now bring what we have into a common fund and share it with anyone who needs it. We used to hate and destroy one another and refused to associate with people of another race or country. Now, because of Christ, we live together with such people and pray for our enemies."
Clement, describing the person who has come to know God, wrote, "He impoverishes himself out of love, so that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need, especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother. He likewise considers the pain of another as his own pain. And if he suffers any hardship because of having given out of his own poverty, he does not complain."
or like the English Church in the mid 1700's?.....
"It is worth dilating for a moment on George Whitefield and the state of the Christian faith in England in the middle of the eighteenth century. Since the time of the Puritans and the religious wars of the previous century, England had decidedly turned its back on any expressions of what we might call serious Christian belief. Having led to so much division and violence, religion was now in full-scale retreat. The churches of mid-eighteenth-century England all but abandoned orthodox, historical Christianity and now preached a tepid kind of moralism that seemed to present civility and the preservation of the status quo as the summum bonnum. And so, understandably, people looked less and less to the churches for the ultimate answers to their questions, and a fog of hopeless and brutal superstitious spiritualism crept over the land. The poor, as is ever the case, would suffer the most from these changes in Britain's religious atmosphere."

God's Spirit on the move; CCDA on the move
It is fascinating to see and hear how God's Spirit is moving in similar ways across our country; how He is stirring the Body of Christ with a mounting desire to unite and reach out on holistic mission in our communities in ways that are transformative for all involved. It's also not surprising that there are similar challenges and roadblocks that plague us as we desire and attempt to do this.
It's been an honor to join a group in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, today to hear about their heart and unique callings, as well as their collaborative efforts to wholistically restore their community. CCDA is here facilitating an intensive today and tomorrow and helping participants ask questions, have conversation, and think critically about how we walk out the Biblical mandate to care for the poor.

Inverting the Web
We use search engines because the Web does not support accessing documents by anything other than URL. This puts a huge amount of control in the hands of the search engine company and those who control the DNS hierarchy.
Given that search engine companies can barely keep up with the constant barrage of attacks, commonly known as "SEO". intended to lower the quality of their results, a distributed inverted index seems like it would be impossible to build.
@freakazoid What methods *other* than URL are you suggesting? Because it is imply a Universal Resource Locator (or Identifier, as URI).
Not all online content is social / personal. I'm not understanding your suggestion well enough to criticise it, but it seems to have some ... capacious holes.
My read is that search engines are a necessity born of no intrinsic indexing-and-forwarding capability which would render them unnecessary. THAT still has further issues (mostly around trust)...
@freakazoid ... and reputation.
But a mechanism in which:
1. Websites could self-index.
2. Indexes could be shared, aggregated, and forwarded.
4. Search could be distributed.
5. Auditing against false/misleading indexing was supported.
6. Original authorship / first-publication was known
... might disrupt things a tad.
Somewhat more:
NB: the reputation bits might build off social / netgraph models.
But yes, I've been thinking on this.
@dredmorbius This is not a fully fleshed out idea yet, but the "L" was the important bit. People generally don't care about the location of the content. They care about the content of the content, and other stuff about the content like the author, etc.
Just think about how people generally navigate the web these days. They don't type a URL into their addressbar or click a bookmark. They type a search query into their address bar, which will generally bring up Google results.
@freakazoid Sorry, what "L"?
I'm not seeing reference to this and am confused.
@dredmorbius Sorry, I mean the "L" in "URL". It's a uniform resource *locator*.
Google is trying to build the thing I'm talking about, only it will be designed to give them even more power than they already have by hiding URLs entirely, making it so that there's no chance at all to navigate the web successfully without them.
@freakazoid OK, yes.
And, old hat to you, but the idea was to "locate on the Internet, by server and path": https://espace.cern.ch/webservices-help/GeneralUserInformation/GeneralinformationaboutWWW/Pages/Howthewebworks.aspx
... in a system literally designed by nuclear particle physicists.
Alternatively, L = I, "identifier".
Location == Identity.
Part of that remains valid. Part of it ... may not.
I've been kicking around the idea of a (local) document-oriented "filesystem" in which specifiers are effectively metadata descriptors or content-based keys. https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/6bgowu/what_if_the_web_was_filesystemaccessible/
@dredmorbius Yeah, I've thought about similar approaches. Directories aren't required to be listable. Unordered bags of KV pairs don't map super well to hierarchical paths, but it's not like that matters very much. For most people a filesystem interface wouldn't matter anyway; they want a browser-ish application.
@freakazoid It ... depends.
There are times you want a _very specific_ resource.
It's not just _content_ that matters, but ownership, provenance, who can / did change / modify it, etc., etc.
There are times when "what colour is the sky?" can be answered by any of thousands of references.
The fact that _approximate, content-described results_ are _sometimes_ or even _often_ appropriate doesn't mean _always_.
@freakazoid A directory-path-based specification is saying "find this precise linked-list chain of directory specifications, with the implied properties of ownership, access permissions, modification history, provenance, etc., etc."
People looking for docs may allow slack. Software looking for libraries, somewhat less so.
And even humans looking for specific documentary authority may want a specific result.
@freakazoid The key for me is that _search is identity_, or at least _an identifier_, if _a search query_ returns _precisely one match_.
(Other options being "null" or "list".)
@dredmorbius I'm not sure I understand. It's possible for searches to return singleton results by accident. It seems like what you want is to distinguish between searchable metadata fields that uniquely identify resources and those that don't.
@freakazoid Right, that IS a problem, and a BIG one.
Possibly THE problem.
Q: Can documents be reasonably self-describing or self-identifying?
@dredmorbius I assume you mean *securely* self-describing?
Most distributed storage systems that try to defend against malicious nodes use exactly two types of keys, each self-certifying: content hash for immutable values and public key hash for mutable ones.
Beyond that you're into the realm of the subjective. My thinking here was to have signed triples ala RDF and use some kind of reputation system, i.e. web of trust, to decide which to trust.
@freakazoid I'm not familiar with signed triples / negative triples. Sec....
Recently, the handling of online defamation has become a hot topic on many mass media as well as social media channels. News Article for Reference: https://www.jiji.com/sp/article?k=2020052500387 In response to these reports, it is expected that lawsuits and disclosure requests will become more publicly known; and government agencies will order stricter enforcement in addition to tightening regulations. However, under the current state of Japan, we will not be able to handle the increase of such administrative burdens and will have trouble dealing with it appropriately. Thus, we have decided to stop providing our service on mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud starting June 30, 2020. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding on the matter.

In what may turn out to be merely a case of wishful thinking, The Canadian Press reports that former prime minister Paul Martin is confident the Grits will void the disunity caused by recent Liberal leadership rivalries.
Past rifts in the party such as the one caused by the acrimony between Mr. Martin and former prime minister Jean Chrétien have only recently healed somewhat. Now Liberals want to avoid the kind of nasty in-fighting they saw during the 2006 leadership campaign in which current leader Stéphane Dion emerged as a compromise winner.
Sparring between Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae went public last week and threatens to divide the party even after next May when one of them will likely emerge as the replacement for Dion.

Blind Squirrel Games, the team who ported the BioShock collection to PS4 and Xbox One, seem to be be teasing BioShock VR. Presumably this is the original game (or games) but made for VR rather than a brand new title.
Personally I would like BioShock 2 VR, wandering about the seabed in a Big Daddy suit would be awesome.

Review by Hayden Thorne
Mark Gatiss presents the first adventure of Lucifer Box rendered in every detail. Lucifer Box, the greatest portraitist of the Edwardian Age and England's most dashing secret agent, investigates a series of bizarre disappearances and plunges headlong into low life and high society. Who is killing Britain's most prominent vulcanologists? What secrets lie beyond the grave? And which tie goes best with a white carnation? See him confront the purple undead, instruct the mysterious and beguiling Bella Pok, disguise himself with a false moustache, face an ominous evil in the depths of a volcano, and come to grips with his new manservant, Charlie Jackpot.
When I purchased Mark Gatiss's book, I learned that it was also transformed into a graphic novel, and the long-slumbering manga/comic book fan in me stirred, bleary-eyed and pawing instinctively at the computer screen. I'd already seen previews of Ian Bass's art style since Bass did the illustrations for Gatiss's novel, and on that basis (in addition to curiosity as to how the novel could be interpreted in a visual medium), I eagerly snapped up a copy.
As I've already noted in my review of Gatiss's novel, I was very much disappointed in the story, particularly in the way the second half seemed to fall apart, plot-wise. In the graphic novel, the story is distilled to the main mystery, and all other subplots have been removed. I'm not an illustrator, let alone a graphic novel artist. However, I'm very well aware of the difficulties that may come with turning something purely textual into something visual. Bass's decision to rewrite the plot in some places is quite understandable, and to some extent, it does work.
On the whole, I like the art style despite its inconsistencies. Ian Bass's illustrations work pretty well with the hybrid of mystery, sci-fi, comedy, and history that defines Gatiss's novel. The characters are distinctive – as in their personalities are nicely captured and given more definition with an exaggerated detail or two. There are occasional decorative flourishes in the background or on the characters that make me think of Aubrey Beardsley – quite appropriate, given the historical period. It's not a very "pretty" style, and manga fans who're used to seeing beautifully stylized illustrations when it comes to gay-themed stories will be sorely disappointed in this book. Mark Gatiss's novel is a romp, and it's written in a very visual way (considering Gatiss's writing background involving film, it's not at all surprising). It translates well into graphic novel form, where the more fantastic elements that might not work in the book are quite at home.
In terms of plot, the graphic novel is rather lean. As mentioned before, subplots have been pruned, and the character list has dwindled to about half, the focus placed mostly on the main characters. If not completely rewritten, several scenes were dropped, many of which involved Bella Pok and her role in the book. Considering that she's a significant player in one of the subplots (and it's a subplot that's really more of the throwaway kind that adds nothing to the overall story), her drastically reduced scenes make me wonder why she's kept in the graphic novel at all. To show how much of a cad Lucifer Box is, maybe? If so, it doesn't quite work, given the heavy emphasis on the main mystery, what with all those side stories being dropped. There's just no room left for Lucifer Box's amorous bisexual adventures.
What works in this case, though, is that Ian Bass gives us a much better treatment of Bella's presence in Naples. In the novel, she's there, and then she's gone – a plot device that doesn't work at all. In the graphic novel, she remains in Naples, and everything that takes place in the novel's climax is squished into one setting, not two.
A final word of warning to readers: this graphic novel is for adults. There's an orgy scene in a brothel (not very detailed), both het and gay, and one of the characters exposes his genitals. It's an important detail in the story, trust me.

Responding versus Reacting in the Classroom and Life
To respond has a positive connotation where reacting is implicitly negative in our human psychology. It may seem to be a simple difference in semantics to the average person, but the difference in practice is rooted in results. We always have a choice, it's a matter of recognizing that we alone have the power to respond or react accordingly.
