Guys this is the first month I hit 10k pageviews! My monthly page views used to be less than half of that. And it happened on a month where I kinda neglected my blog and haven't written in over a week. How, you might ask?
I know tons of people have said it before, but I'm going to say it again: if you're a blogger who goes to school or has a job and doesn't have time to commit every single day to promoting your blog, you should try Pinterest. To be honest, there are some days when I don't touch my blog or social media because I just have other things to worry about, but I'm still getting traffic through Pinterest. I still get hundreds of pageviews each month for a few posts I wrote 9 months ago that have had over 4k engagements on Pinterest. Every month or so I tend to hit the Pinterest jackpot and get a post that gathers 1000+ views, and those numbers only continue to grow over time. I'm not claiming that I'm Pinterest viral or anything, but I do know that my blog would not have nearly as many views if I wasn't using Pinterest. And by nearly I mean thousands fewer.
This is how it works: Pinterest isn't really a social media site, it's a search engine. It doesn't show you the stuff that's most recent like Instagram or Twitter do, it shows you the stuff that's 1.) most relevant and 2.) most popular. And it doesn't matter at all how many Pinterest followers you have, either. I only have 200 and when I was first getting interested in Pinterest I only have about 70. So how do you make your Pinterest pins relevent and popular in order to gain more traffic?
..... wait for it....
Write a pinn-able postThe truth is that people go to Pinterest for steps, lists, and tutorials. They're looking to get something out of pins that link to blog posts: advice, a new skill, a how-to, etc. I'm a big fan of writing thoughtful essay-type posts on my blog, but these are not the kinds of posts that do well on Pinterest. So I've tried to balance those posts out with more "how to...." or "5 steps to...." or "the ultimate --- guide to...." posts. These are the kinds of posts that typically do well on Pinterest: those that give something tangible to the readers, and are organized in a very straight-forward way.
Make a pinThe simplest way to design a pretty and effective pin is to use Canva. Canva is basically a free, super easy design program for making graphics, text posts, invitations and everything in between. They have a bazillion templates that make it very easy. Just select the "pinterest graphic" option and start customizing! A few things to remember when making pins: Use a background photo that has a purpose and a distinct focal point but also isn't super distracting, keep text short and sweet, and develop a distinct look for your pins so that people can recognize them as yours.
Have maaaany boardsI thought this sounded kinda dumb and annoying when I first heard it, but it actually is super important and you'll see why in a second. It's good to have 15-20 boards on Pinterest, and they should all be related to your niche in some way. One easy way to do this is to have boards that are more specific. Instead of a "beauty" board, make separate boards for hair care, makeup, skincare, hair styles, etc. Instead of a "blog" board, make separate boards for blog photography, social media marketing, writing, etc. The more boards the better, and you'll see why in a second.
Use a plug in to pin your posts to PinterestOkay so you have a pinterest worthy post, a ridiculous number of boards, a pin, and now you need to start pinning. There are few different ways to do this, but here's how I do it:
- Put the pin image in your blog post. Probably at the bottom if you don't want it to be your main image.
- You can use some simple code to hide the pin so that it isn't visible when people look at your post but can still be pinned via the Pinterest plug in.
- Download the Pinterest plug in on your browser. This will allow you to pin any images you come across on the internet to Pinterest.
- Go to your blog post in which you have your pin, and click on the Pinterest plug in. When you do this, all of the images on that web page will pop up as possible pins.
- Click on your kick-butt pin that you just designed, and write a caption full of lots of keywords (what people might look up on Pinterest if they're looking for a post like yours-- my key words/phrases for this post will be "how to increase blog traffic with Pinterest" "how to increase blog traffic without really trying" "how to promote your blog with Pinterest" etc.).
- Now, start pinning! (See below)
Repin to your own boardsAfter writing the caption, save your pin to one of your boards. I would suggest having a board that is simply titled with the name of your blog, in which you will keep all of your pins that you make for your blog posts. That way you can keep track of them and how well they're doing, and people can easily see your content. Then once you've pinned your pin to your blog board, click "see it now." This will bring you to your pin in Pinterest and at this point you'll be able to repin it other places as well.
Now we go crazy. Remember how I said to have 15-20 boards that are all related to your niche? Well, here's where we repin your new pin to all of them. Yep, you heard me. Repin it to any and all boards that it is at least vaguely related to. Why should you do this? Because in order for your pins to be noticed and to pop up on people's feeds, they need to have repins. More repins = more popular = more people see it and repin it and check out your blog. But how do you get people to see it and repin it if you need repins in order for people to see it and repin it?? (*deep breath*). The answer: hack the system and repin it twenty times on your own page. This isn't like Instagram where everybody would be able to see your twenty obnoxious posts in a row. It won't spam your followers, if anything your pin will only pop up once or twice on their feed. But having those twenty repins will give your pin a lot more leverage when it comes to Pinterest's algorithm.
Pin to Group BoardsThis is probably the surest and easiest way to get more repins on your pins. (Count how many times I've said "pin" in this, ohmygosh). Group boards are boards that many people can contribute to, and guarantees that your pins will reach a wider audience. To join a group board you just follow the instructions in the board bio, which often involves emailing the board owner. Here are a few group boards that I am a part of: The College Blogger Initiative, Millennial Mindset Group Board, Twenty Something Career & Lifestyle, Blogging your Heart Out
Use Board BoosterIf you're especially lazy and can't seem to commit 10 or so minutes each day to promoting and repining your pins, try a scheduler like Board Booster. Board Booster will repin your pins for you, you just choose how often and to which boards. I typically just repeatedly pin my content to group boards so that they stay in circulation. The first 100 pins are free, but after that it's $5 for 500 pins per month. I'm still on my freebie pins, but it's not ridiculously expensive either way.
Alright blogger friends, those are my best Pinterest tips! As I said at the beginning of this post, I am by no means a Pinterest expert. But I have figured out a few things that have allowed me to gain significant traffic and have helped several of my pins get thousands of engagements and repins.
Let me know your Pinterest tips! Do you guys use Pinterest to promote your blog, or do you have a different method?

As solicitors who have dealt with a huge number of cycling accident claims, we know all too well the effects an accident can have. Here are some safety tips for cyclists we have compiled to help keep the roads that little bit safer.
Top tips for cycling safety
Wear a helmet!
Need more Information about cycle accident claims?
This first point is probably also the most important. A helmet can be the difference between a slight concussion and a life-changing brain injury.
While a helmet is not guaranteed to rule out head injuries completely, they have been proven to vastly reduce the chances of serious injury or death in the event of a collision. In a review of several studies, the Cochrane Collaboration found that helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 85{602ff13bae4e7a4203fc2d51fd9aad6807e6372b4ba11df55fbb26bbab2a1d31}, brain injury by 88{602ff13bae4e7a4203fc2d51fd9aad6807e6372b4ba11df55fbb26bbab2a1d31} and severe brain injury by 75{602ff13bae4e7a4203fc2d51fd9aad6807e6372b4ba11df55fbb26bbab2a1d31}.
As a study performed by the Transport Research Authority discovered, 40{602ff13bae4e7a4203fc2d51fd9aad6807e6372b4ba11df55fbb26bbab2a1d31} of adult cyclists and 45{602ff13bae4e7a4203fc2d51fd9aad6807e6372b4ba11df55fbb26bbab2a1d31} of child cyclists who have been injured as a result of a collision have sustained head injuries. It's obvious after looking at the statistics that helmets are an absolute must on the road.
Be visible!
It cannot be overstated how important it is to be visible to other road users. The majority of accidents involving bicycles are likely to involve the other road user not being able to see the cyclist. As bicycles are obviously significantly smaller than the cars, lorries and vans also using the roads, they can often be overlooked. This is why it is important to make use of reflective strips and lights on your bicycle – anything that provides a boost to your visibility is also likely to help you avoid any dangerous situations.
When driving at night, it is required by the Highway Code (rule 60) that a bicycle must have white front and red rear lights. Red rear reflectors and amber pedal reflectors are also mandatory. In low light and without these safety features, cyclists are very difficult to see until it is too late. These are not simply useless health and safety procedures – showing cars where you are will prevent potentially life threatening crashes.
Using your bell is another way to make yourself known. This is especially helpful when coming across pedestrians as they may not be able to see you.
Be aware!
One of the most common situations that can cause a crash is when a cyclist is positioned on the inside of a vehicle that's turning left. You shouldn't assume that the lack of a signal means that the car isn't turning; many drivers have a bad habit of signalling late or sometimes not signalling at all. Avoid undertaking in this situation. Hanging back and waiting until they move off is often the safer choice.
You shouldn't attempt to cycle on the inside of large vehicles such as lorries and buses. These vehicles have larger blind spots than their smaller counterparts. They also tend to swing out to the right first when turning left, which creates a large gap between the vehicle and the kerb. This gap may seem wide enough to cycle through but it will quickly shrink as they begin to swing left.
Be aware that weather changes will affect everybody on the road. A wet or icy surface will mean that both cyclists and motor vehicles will need extra stopping distance. Be sure to keep this in mind when braking to stop at a junction.
Signal clearly!
Be sure to use clear, correct signals when out on the roads. If another road user knows when you're about to turn, they're much more likely to give you the room you need to do so. You should also try to make eye contact with drivers at junctions. This will allow you to make sure that they've seen you and that you're safe to complete your manoeuvre.

A new hybrid "personal" account has come onto the market from Egg, and the company hopes it will change the way people think about money.
The online bank's new offering is basically a current account with some of the features of a savings account thrown in.
The account separates direct debits and other monthly charges from "spending" money ñ the money left over.
The account offers four per cent interest on positive balances, a debit card and an ATM cash withdrawal facility
Egg chief financial officer Mark Nancarrow said: "Current accounts have become a melting pot of all our money matters, but they do not give us an accurate picture of where we stand financially at any one time.
"Liberating our spending money from the more mundane things in life would not only save us money, but would enable us to understand, control and budget more efficiently."

Oscar at Lopez Lake, Arroyo Grande, CA
Don't you LOVE camping? I do! We were able to camp out at Lopez Lake for a couple of days this past week and we found out something about our dog. Did you know that not all hound dogs like hunting? Here is our little Oscar Meyer who could care less about the deer outside the motorhome window. So you're thinking, "Weiner Dogs wouldn't go for game that large" right? Well, he wasn't interested in the wild turkeys, squirrels, woodpeckers, ducks, or anything else wild for that matter. As a matter of fact, he liked sticking it out IN the motorhome. It was like pulling teeth to get him to even take a small walk. We stayed in a really nice site, Bluejay 31. One of the best things about this site was the view of the sweet little valley on the left side of the site. Each day the deer showed up around 5 just to casually stroll through on their way to the lake. Next we are going to spend a couple of days visiting my son and his wife in Tracy, CA

Zero Waste? Like, none?
That's right, Zero. Nada. Nil. Zilch.
Well, mostly.
Absolute zero is the goal, and almost-zero is the reality for most people who live a zero waste lifestyle. It's reeeally tricky to stop making any waste all together - there are some things that are just unavoidable (mostly health/medication related).
However, that doesn't mean we can't try.
Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
So here's exactly what I do to make my weekly shop (almost perfectly) zero waste.
ONE. I buy all of my fruit and vegetables totally unpacked from the local Sunday market. I used to buy them at the overpriced supermarket near me, and now I can't imagine spending as much as I once did! It has cut my food costs in half (if there was ever a selfish reason to go zero waste, this is it!).
TWO. I bring a reusable bag, and refuse plastic at all costs. That means no pre-packaged tomatoes (which are always sitting right next to the loose tomatoes anyway), no plastic tags or stickers and definitely no plastic bags.
THREE. For the things that traditionally come in packaging, I try to find alternatives for everything. I buy freshly made loaves of bread and have them sliced up behind the counter (and put into a reusable bag), I buy pasta, beans, spices and flour from the pull-down self-serve dispensers. And I don't shop at a fancy store, they actually have these dispensers at any old supermarket, I just hadn't ever been looking. Wait, doesn't it cost more to buy it all like that? Nope! So much of the cost of our food is in the packaging, so buying it without is often less expensive.
I was inspired to go zero waste by the Goddess of zero waste, Bea Johnson, who pretty much invented the concept of modern day zero waste.
Another one of my favourite zero waste bloggers is Lauren Singer.
She made me realise how easy it is to fit two years of trash into a mason jar!
What do you do to reduce your waste? Have any questions? Leave me a comment below!
With love,

Pandey believes the lowered activity of this gene might be because of the tighter winding of its DNA. The diminished expression of the gene persisted in adulthood, if alcohol exposure was stopped weeks before even. The experts observed diminished nerve connectivity in the amygdalae of these affected adult rats. 'Our study offers a system for how binge-drinking during adolescence can lead to long lasting [epigenetic] changes. That result in increased anxiety and alcoholism in adults,' Pandey said. Intermittent alcohol exposure 'degrades the ability of the mind to form the connections it requires to during adolescence.' 'The brain doesn't develop since it should, and generally there are long lasting behavioral changes connected with this.' But a pharmacological experiment hinted at the chance of a treatment.

Kentucky, Texas A&M finish regular season ranked in AP Top 25
The penultimate Associated Press Top 25 poll of the regular season is out and two SEC teams made the cut and sit back-to-back.
Kentucky (23-8, 13-5 SEC) soared six spots to No. 16, and Texas A&M (24-7, 13-5 SEC) rose three spots to No. 17.
The Wildcats concluded the regular season with impressive victories over Florida and LSU last week and clinched a share of the SEC's regular-season title. However, Kentucky will be the No. 2 seed in the SEC Tournament after losing the head-to-head tiebreaker to Texas A&M in an overtime thriller two weeks ago.
The Aggies got back into the top 20 after capping the regular season on a six-game winning streak. Texas A&M won its first regular-season conference championship in 30 years and will be the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. The Aggies appear to be back on track as the postseason arrives.

Here is where the experts — leading tour operators, travel agencies, national tourism offices and administrations of the Russian regions. OTDYKH LEISURE — is the leading international autumn trade fair for tourism in Russia and CIS countries. In 2015 the exhibition will be held in 21-th time.
Tourism — the most important direction in the modern world economy. The development of this industry, considerable funds are allocated. Every year increasing tourist flow in all directions. The desire to see the world rightly: at the time of travel is expanding my horizons, meeting new cultures, traditions and customs. Travel agencies offer a wide range of programs. Do not stand still and innovation technologies in the sphere of recreation and tourism.
For agencies it is important not only for the introduction of advanced innovations, but also the ability to manage them. Innovations in the field of tourism to help develop the industry as a whole.
The exhibition provides a unique opportunity — everyone can find tourism news. to study in detail all the proposals of the leading tour companies and also to visit the capital and see all the sights of Moscow. Experienced staff will advise on all matters of interest. And CEOs will be able to find ideas for holding corporate events.
To the field of recreation and tourism developed successfully, it is crucial the interaction of multiple structures. In the tourism industry it is especially vivid. To organize a truly high-quality rest and the necessary efforts of local authorities, various companies, owners of hotels, etc. At the exhibition you can get acquainted with the innovations that will lead to a qualitative development of the industry. And offers completely new directions.
The main problem is that the vast majority of companies are afraid to be pioneers. Many people prefer to work for a well-run scheme. While innovations can greatly facilitate the work. Automation of certain actions can significantly increase the flow of customers. Very popular in recent years is online service. Without leaving home you can book a room in hotel or plane tickets.
Recreation and tourism — a very promising field and in many developing countries. Participation in international exhibitions provides an excellent opportunity to advertise and represent their tourist products and to sign important contracts.
International tourism
Today in various countries is the development of different alternative tourism types: ecological, romantic, educational, medical and recreational. corporate. Tourism — the temporary movement of people from their homes to other locations, both in state and abroad. A temporary move can be called a period of up to 1 year. Currently outstanding domestic and international tourism. It is worth noting that international tourism — is not only a popular form of recreation, but also a rapidly growing sector of the global economy. In the last thirty years the number of tourists in the world has quadrupled, and the revenue that tourism brings in certain countries has increased more than twenty-five times. The state of the global tourism industry in General is stable.
International tourism — is an important component of innovative development of any state in the long term. The industry is economically profitable and is a source of foreign exchange earnings, as well as a means for employment. International tourism contributes to the creation of industries serving the tourism sector. He is extremely uneven, due to different levels of economic development of countries. Tourism cannot be the product of the first necessity, therefore, refers rather to the vital needs of a person at a certain level of income and wealth of society. The most developed international tourism in Western European countries.
It should be noted that tourism today is a very complex system. Its degree of development depends on the degree of development of the state economy as a whole. In the next decade the tourist markets of the most developed countries will grow steadily, by increasing the availability of tourism to other sectors of society. For the rapidly developing tourist markets are characterized by a dynamic growth and with this increase in budget revenues in the next couple of years. One of the most important factors in the development of world tourism — increased competition on the tourist market thanks to the emergence of more countries with plans that are designed to attract tourists and a glut on the market of similar tourist offers.
At our exhibition you can find best deals from leading travel companies and choose the most suitable offers.

Very annoying though, was the fact that they had me book after some organisational pain, an hour of my time just to call and tell me in five minutes that it was highly unlikely I could deliver since I hadn't worked in Java recently.
Regardless of that quite bold and rude statement, I still asked to have the project just for practice anyway and they agreed, saying if I really wanted I could try and come back to them when I was done
I of course did not plan to, but turning down some free exercise is never a smart choice, so I rolled with it.
Obviously they had never heard of Google as well, given that the whole project can easily be assembled just by searching code snippets and gluing them with minimal brainpower anyway if you are on a lazy mode day.
So long story short, here we are with the Xchange me, sir project.
Project description:
Implement a simple foreign exchange rate service that uses data provided by the European Central Bank. Provide a REST API to retrieve the exchange rate to EUR from any other currency provided by the ECB and allow querying current (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) and past (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist-90d.xml) data. Use an asynchronous job to retrieve and update the xrates storing them locally in memory and have the REST API use the data in memory to return this information.
- Use Java 8
- Use Spring 4
- Return the response in JSON format
They also provided an IntelliJ project that was essentially a Spring application with a sample REST hello world method already prepared and runnable.
Implementation description:
We need to provide two methods to retrieve the current and historical data which will be stored in two HashMaps in memory; we can do this by providing two URLs with different parameters. Current data would be retrieved with:
and historical data would be retrieved with:
Where currency is the 3 characters uppercase currency name (eg CHF) and date is in the format YYYY-MM-DD
When a method is called, we check if we have the data in memory, if yes, we try to retrieve the xrate and either return it or return null; if not, we return a "Retry later" message and start the async data loading process.
The loading process works in three steps:
- locally download the XML files from the ECB
- parse the XML files - which by the way have a bad structure in my opinion since they reuse the same node name multiple times with different meanings and store the values in attributes rather than the node-value format
- populate the HashMaps with the parsed data
Why those choices:
- The sample files are really small so it could be possible to directly get the XMLs and populate the maps. However by storing them locally we track the actual data we were provided so we can produce it in case of complaints, we can run analytics on it and we can reload it anytime without needing to contact the ECB service again.
- Given the structure of the files, mapping them to some intermediate entity turns out to be far more work in terms of complexity and code, than simply querying them to populate the maps.
- We could use only a single map to track all data and query it by assuming we are requested today's data if we have no input date. However, the two methods will not be called with the same frequency so by using two separate objects we can easily scale them independently and reduce the impact of maintenance operations to a single part of the service.
What can be done to enhance the project:
- Once the files are downloaded and processed, archive them somewhere on the filesystem or in a DB
- Add a replay logic for the loading process
- Add some sanitation checks on the request parameters
- Refine the return logic to provide information that allows users to understand whether the "No data found" message means we do not and will never have the xrate for the particular input provided or simply that we are still loading the data in the system. For example by storing a list of currencies we support and checking that the input we receive matches that, this would also help with input sanitation
- Start the data loading at system bootup instead of waiting for the first request to come in
- Add purge logic to remove stale data (>90 days) from the system
- Add update logic to periodically refresh the data in the system by starting the loading process. The customers can still invoke the APIs and would only have a delay if they request data from the map at the exact same time we are updating that bucket
- Improve the insertion and retrieval mechanism to add logic which enables us to provide a list of currencies as response in case of a misspelled input for example
- Modularize the components even more so that the loader service can for example reside on its own server and be invoked via JMS to update the distributed cache used to return the data
- And so many other ideas, but the only hour of sun we have today really calls me out
Overall, this was an interesting exercise, not overly complicated and enjoyable enough but the best part is how long it takes to build this from scratch. Suffice to say that writing this post and uploading everything to Github took more time than implementing :)

Omnify Empower Provides Centralized and Controlled Product Data for Two Divisions
Omnify Empower Provides Centralized and Controlled Product Data for Two Divisions
TEWKSBURY, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 2, 2015) - Omnify Software, a leading provider of web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for discrete manufacturers, today announces that Seahorse Bioscience, the world leader in tools for cell metabolism research, implemented Empower PLM to replace paper-based product development processes in order to centralize and control product data and keep two corporate divisions in sync.
Seahorse Bioscience was managing information such as part numbers and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) using Excel spreadsheets. With two corporate divisions this eventually became inefficient, risky and laborious. The company found it necessary to implement a PLM system in order to have one corporate source for part number generation, ECO generation and tracking, and to create a secure corporate repository for product data with automated revision control.
"Tracking all engineering changes in a centralized system eliminates previous issues with misplaced or forgotten ECOs and our vendors always receive the latest revision of a drawing from which to work," stated Bill Beard, Manager of Engineering Services for Seahorse Bioscience. "Omnify Empower has become our corporate-sponsored, standardized PLM application and has been a major catalyst in Seahorse Bioscience achieving a world-class caliber of Engineering and Manufacturing standards and service."
Omnify Empower is deployed enterprise-wide at both Seahorse Bioscience divisions. All Seahorse part number generation is facilitated only through Omnify Empower as well as electronic sign-off and release to Manufacturing. The company took advantage of Empower's open integration platform to further streamline processes and has integrated Empower with their corporate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Infor SyteLine.
"Customers adopt our products to transition out of inefficient paper-based processes using Excel spreadsheets and home grown solutions," stated David Solimini, Vice President of Sales for Omnify Software. "Companies like Seahorse Bioscience that have multiple locations, on or offshore, realize an even greater impact by eliminating costly issues related to differing part numbers, missing change orders and out-of-sync design and manufacturing data."

Chinese Pistache
Pistacia chinensis
Height 40'- 45'
Spread 30-35'
Many people love this moderately fast growing shade tree for its beautiful fall color. It turns yellows, oranges, and reds sometimes all at once! During the rest of the year it has lovely green compound leaves. The foliage is also aromatic when crushed. The tree is dioecious which means male and female are on separate trees. The female produces panicles of small berries, which the birds love to eat. The Chinese Pistache is a very hardy tree that tolerates a wide range of soils and is very drought tolerant. Does not have any know insect or disease problems.

About Us
St Mary's, Gerrards Cross is an all through, independent school for girls from 3 -18.
We place great emphasis on the value of the individual, on knowing each child, who she is and how she learns. Our philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that a happy child is a successful child.
Equally important is the pursuit of academic excellence. In a school where such high priority is placed on the importance of the individual, this excellence will mean very different things for different girls. The small classes at St Mary's mean that staff know each girl really well and can tailor their teaching to fit the whole fascinating kaleidoscope of learning styles and learning needs in front of them. No girl here ever becomes 'lost in the crowd'.
Our Curriculum is specific to the girls yet never loses sight of the national curriculum. As an independent school we have the luxury of being able to consider what is best in the seemingly endless reforms and initiatives being handed down to schools and to ensure that the curriculum is tailored to the girls, not the other way round. As a through school, we have the privilege of creating a curriculum that is at all times set within a framework of prior learning and future expectations. Nor do we ever lose sight of the crucial importance of the traditional curriculum, those essential building blocks of literacy, numeracy, and thinking skills from which all learning must grow.
As a girls' school we tailor our teaching to the ways in which girls learn best. We will work with you to help your daughter carve her own unique path through life, to identify her own personal set of values and to dare to dream her dreams; dreams that are proud and ambitious, but dreams that she will achieve.
Our philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that a happy child is a successful child
Meet our Head,
Mrs Jean Ross, and discover
her passion for education
and how St Mary's could

A Year of Cool Comic Book Moments – Day 173
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today concludes a multi-part look at perhaps the most classic Hitman story ever.
Okay, so when last we left our friends/assassins in Hitman #14 (by Garth Ennis and John McCrea), a zombie shark had just taken a big bite out of the mad scientist who had turned all of the sea life in Gotham Aquarium into zombies.
The boys are in a bit of a pickle. Enjoy!
And, as a little post script at the end of the book..
"The" moment has to be the appearance of the scientist with most of his body missing, as that panel's practically iconic – but damned if the panel filled with "blam"s doesn't come close. In the end, though, you can't look at these pages and not be struck most by the half-eaten scientist, so he "wins" for today's moment.

R.I.P. "Superman" Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz
Screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz, who is largely (if unofficially) credited with the final screenplays for both "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman II," died on Saturday, The Hollywood Reporter writes. He was 68.
Mankiewicz was born into a family of Hollywood heavyweights. His father Joseph L. Mankiewicz won two Academy Awards for writing and directing the classic "All About Eve," and his uncle Herman J. Mankiewicz received the Oscar for co-writing "Citizen Kane." Tom's own screenwriting career kicked off in the late 1960s when an unproduced script he wrote led to a string of television variety gigs writing for stars like Nancy Sinatra. After his book for the brief Broadway flop "Georgy" caught the eye of United Artist's, Mankiewicz started a stint as writer of the James Bond franchise scripting the installments "Diamonds Are Forever," "Live And Let Die" and "The Man With The Golden Gun."
After spending the '70s on a number of film projects, the writer was tapped by director Richard Donner to redraft the screenplay for his upcoming "Superman" film. While the original script was written by (and the movie ultimately credited to) Mario Puzo, Donner long proclaimed that it was Mankiewicz who helped him turn the original concept away from camp and towards the heroic tale of Americana that the initial installments of the Superman franchise were best known for. Years later, the writer would get his on screen credit with the release of "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut" on DVD in 2006.
In his later career, Mankiewicz would himself go behind the camera -Â directing many episodes of the TV Series "Hart To Hart" as well as the films "Dragnet" and "Delirious."
Mankiewicz passed away at his home in Los Angeles on July 31 after a long battle with cancer.

Below is the Speech made by Basil Nickerson, Guest of Honour, at this year's President's Dinner in March 2011. It is given "as is" – it is not meant to be an English essay, but Basil's printed speech "notes" that he used at the lectern.
The content is copyright Basil Nickerson 2011 and reproduced with his permission.
Rev. Father Abbot, Rev. Fathers, Headmaster, ex-pupils, Academic, Sport or CCF, Ex-Colleagues, 10 of you – you must be gluttons for punishment! Old Priorians – men and ladies now! First, thank you for the honour of inviting me to be your Guest. As a member of staff; I first attended Old Priorian Dinners in the early 1960s at the Restaurant at Regents Park Zoo. I have attended at several places since, even for a period when we were only a few. In those days, Headboy – Alexander (Somerville), you had to make a Speech proposing the toast of the OPA.
I said to you Mr President when you first invited me in November "You don't know what you have let yourself in for – someone long past his sell-by date, a dinosaur!" I think there are only two persons here slightly older than me. I don't have a mobile phone. Though I did initiate right at the beginning the use of computer for exam entries, I am what you would call 'computer illiterate'. I leave the computer to cheap jerseys my dear wife Clare.
So, is it to be mega biblion, mega kakon though in their writings most ancient Greeks were concise and pointed? Or, should I be conscious that like me, you come to these functions to meet as many people as possible – but you never manage because the speeches go on far too long! After my speech this year Mr President, you may well feel it a good idea to have just yourself speaking and the Headmaster in reply.
In early Summer 1956 on a lovely Sunday morning I came for an interview, a good catholic I think, but from rural, very non-Catholic Lincolnshire – so, ignorant of anything Benedictine except that I had heard of Downside and had done my TP at the Oratory School where there were Downside monks, Dom Adrian Morey as HM and Dom Nicholas Holman, the latter the last Abbot of Fort Augustus, as Bursar, both tasked to put the Oratory School back on its feet in difficult times, just as Fr Adrian had tried unsuccessfully at St Benedict's School in 1938/39 when it nearly went out of existence (see From the Smallest Beginnings).
I met Headmaster Fr Bernard Orchard in his room: he and Mr Williamson – to become later in his 60s a monk and priest at Ramsgate – decided I would meet their requirements. Fr Bernard had been headmaster for eleven years; he was the one who put St Benedict's School "on the map" after it nearly went out of existence. It was seen by Downside as a "not worthwhile financial drain". As a teacher I got on well with JBO, but he was an awesome figure – on a different planet! But that is why he did so well by St Benedict's, to which he was so dedicated as a monk and as an Old Priorian. Capable of grand gestures, typically, in 1956, my first term, when the Hungarian Revolution took place – an attempt to overthrow Russian control – he decided to voor take into St Benedict's five Hungarian boy refugees. I had one of them in my form: no means of linguistic contact, not Latin, French or German, so I had to learn how to teach him some English after School. Fr Bernard had, almost until he died, a lovely singing voice. I will never forget the thrill of hearing him intone the Te Deum to the School in church.
Other monks on de the staff were Fr George Brown, another Old Priorian who was then, not only Second Master but also U4 Division Master. As I was for five years Form Master of U41, I got to know him well. Fr Dunstan was U4 Form Master, we became great friends. Clare and I visited him last Tuesday. He's now 91. By 1960 I had come to know Fr Gerard when he died suddenly after only one year as Second Master and one term as Headmaster – much missed. Later on I came to know Fr Casimir well and appreciate all he did for the School as Bursar and for a while as U4 Division Master. There was too – who can forget him! – Fr Kevin, U5 Division Master, very big, strong arm I believe, in charge of CCF, very loud voiced. I thought I was finally accepted in School when one day after a couple of years I shouted at some boys in the corridor and they said "yes, father"!!
To these six add one monk from Scotland who was with us for a year. I got hauled up by the Games Master on a Monday morning because this monk felt I had usurped his authority as I had felt it necessary when we were returning from taking teams away to rebuke some boys for their behaviour on the coach. I had to apologise to him. In those days, incidentally, returning from 'away' matches, a boy from the Senior Team on board used to take a collection for the driver. The pennies would add up to a few shillings, perhaps even £1, little, you might think: but then my monthly pay when I started was just £49!
So, out of a total of 32 Senior School staff, 7 were monks, almost 22%. And 4 of those 7 had academic degrees and one other had been to Teacher Training College.
Dom Gregory and Dom Stanislaus joined the staff in 1957. I came to know them both well much later. It is good that like Dom Dunstan they are still with us. Fr Francis joined the staff in September 1958. We had met earlier that year when I assisted Fr Dunstan in taking a party of boys to Rome. He has been a great family and personal friend getting to know one another especially when he was in charge of games for a couple of years before being elected Abbot. Many of you will not know he was Abbot President of the English Congregation for sixteen years and in 1995/96 was Abbot Pro Primate of the Benedictines. Much later, before becoming Abbot, Fr Martin became a colleague and a friend. I hope he will still be so after tonight especially as we are spending the week-end in his company! I should mention one other monk, my pupil in 1956 in L51 for Latin, one Soper, later to become a monk, colleague, a friend and Abbot. In my first year too, I taught one Paddy Tobin 'Latin for Unseens' which in those dim and distant days pupils required, for whatever subjects they wish to do at Oxford or Cambridge. He was to come back as a colleague, a great friend and rise to distinguished heights in the profession, even though when as a CCF Officer driving an army truck he had an accident on Dartmoor, he reported that it was the moving rocks that damaged the vehicle!
In my first year I had Bill Twist in my first U15 XI, another, later to return as a colleague. Apart from the monks I found myself in 1956 among some wonderful colleagues, some of whom Fr Bernard had had under him for several years: they did not interfere but were most generous with help and advice when requested. Two of them to whom I owe quite a lot are still alive and we keep in touch, Paul Olsen and Cecil Friedlander. They and the pupils mattered more than the buildings: yes, even those pupils who punctured my bike one day in the late 50s so that that night they could haul it up on to the roof.
That people matter more than buildings is just as well you may say when you compare September 1956 with now. A dozen of you here know what it was like then.
First the Playing Fields, so different: Perivale Lane was a busy 'through' road from the A40 round two sides of the Field. The Old Pavilion was just a Tea Room, though with lovely crested crockery which Fr Casimir saw as a good investment for publicity! The other building served as Groundsman's House and as Changing Rooms: so primitive that when eventually the staff first acquired a shower it had to be by the boys urinals! The Field had quite a ridge down from the edge of the 1st XI field with several lovely elm trees there (photo on p.67 from The Smallest Beginnings). The lower field was flooded regularly as well as the Greenford Road. I well remember a lovely June afternoon in the 60s umpiring 1st XI vs RGS, High Wycombe on the 1st XI Square when the lower field was a 'lake' after a heavy overnight storm. In spite of the undulating character of Perivale we held Sports Day at the field when all the Staff had different tasks to do judging and marking Events. We moved away in 1975, to an Evening Event, at West London Stadium – and went metric! Still, when the field was unfit in winter there was always Horsenden Hill to run round on Games Days!
And the School Building: In September '56 they were building the top floor on the Eaton Rise classroom block – the Library. There was no Science Block: Biology was taught in Jeder-kann-Immobilien! a Room in East Down, Physics and Chemistry on the first floor of the classroom block overlooking Eaton Rise with U42 Classroom between them. The temporary staff room was at the top of 54 Eaton Rise, a small room looking out over the Black Pitch. The front of the top floor of Eaton Rise was the resident matron's flat, until December '65. The first floor bay-window room in East Down was Steve Walker's bed-sit, where, in the day, he also taught 6th form History. Boys entered the Grounds at the corner of Eaton Rise and Montpelier Avenue and had to change into indoor shoes in an old Nissen hut roughly where the northern most toilets are now. Where the rest of the toilets are and towards 54 Eaton Rise, were the Kitchens and Refectory. There we had formal lunch in two sittings at 1pm and 1.45pm until the Orchard Hall was built in 1966. Classes finished at 4.30 pm., with Benediction after that on Mondays. Until 1966, there was an Orchard from where the Hall is now to Marchwood Crescent. The gym was where the Parish Centre is now, beyond the Junior School. It was old and cold in winter, hot in summer, but a surprising survivor of the bomb which destroyed the front half of the Church. The gym equipment was basic, wall bars, ropes, some mats, and equipment to erect a boxing ring. It served many purposes for speech days, for drama productions, for occasional social functions with the parents – dances, at which above the noise, the Inwestycji staff could meet the parents: that soon changed so that we had a more formal meeting but with all the parents in one evening! The old gym served as the exam hall, in late June/July. Between the Junior School and the classroom block was the Black Pitch ending with a big tree and the old corrugated-iron roof woodwork shed at the west edge of the present Sports Hall. Near to Montpelier Ave later were two all-weather cricket nets. Where the Parish car park is now were trees and bushes, quite a little jungle, suitable for some CCF field craft. Even the main classroom block on the ground floor was different because the rooms that look over Eaton Rise were the Assembly Hall – and in the bad snow of January 1963 I even used that area to keep the 2nd XV in some sort of training. When we first had a School Secretary, separate from the Headmaster's secretary, in September 1965, her office was a little room at the south end of that Assembly Hall. The School and Field were primeval, you may well say, but good ethos, good headmasters, good staff, good pupils: we did perform and produce good results for good academics and for poorer ones: and it was the same at games, winning a name particularly in the 60s and thereafter for 7s. There were a number of excellent societies and a good music tradition based on the Abbey. But, even the Abbey Church was very, very different as a result of the war damage: it existed functionally only just over half way down the present nave. At weekly Mass and weekly Benediction for the whole School I had to take my form upstairs over the entrance porch: it was of course pre Vatican II so we did not go down to receive Communion.
Apart from those already mentioned, other ex-colleagues, retired , who have heard me before are David Sabin, John Bogie, a friend from Ealing C.C. who was present with us, sadly only for a few years and later did such great work cheap jerseys to see Prior Park survive under Paddy Tobin. (As you may know Prior Park now thrives under ex Headboy James Murphy O'Connor). John shared coaching 1st XI with me in 1964. It was his turn to take the team away to see John Lyon, chasing only 106, reaching 85 for 3, when one Bill Jowett was put on and took six wickets for one run. Needless to say we won the match, no surprise that Bill Jowett made the Sports Page in the National Press in the following week. Ian Potts, ex Mayor of Ealing who did a good job for Careers after Steve Walker died suddenly in harness, and another Ian, Ian Stephen who did much for Geography, Games and Careers. He organised an event for me when I ceased looking after the 1st XI, an event at which 4 of you here tonight were present. Thank you, Ian for that wonderful, memorable evening.
And ex colleagues still on the Staff: Peter Halsall – rugby! He was with me when we won the U16 7s national tournament for the second time at the London Irish rugby ground: and Marek Nalewajko who organised The Duke of Edinburgh's Award so successfully and is now doing a good job for the publicity of the School. If you are going to the event at School in May and he takes you round, as he did wholesale jerseys China with a group of us last year, you are in for a wonderful explanation of the development of the School buildings.
AND, and, there is one special person it would be very wrong of me not to mention, so dedicated to the School and to the Old Priorians, a boy at School when I began, returning as a colleague, a great help personally and a friend, a very very great friend ever since. How much Clare and I are indebted to him for his friendship – of course, it is Richard (Baker).A minimis incipe: changes have come bit by bit, but faster and faster: and they still go on rightly Fr Abbot. St Benedict's is alive, but the most thrilling thing Headmaster, is to see that it is still boys and girls, young men and young ladies that matter. I could go on and on but thank you for hearing me out. Thank you ex-President, Robin Berger for the great honour you did me on my Retirement of presenting me with the Priorian Medal, so far the only non-pupil of the School to receive such an honour – so much treasured.
I ask you to rise and drink to the continued life and prosperity of St Benedict's School.

Certainly, when the ACC has one team practically locked into the BCS National Championship Game, it's a good time to stick out its chest.
Two weeks into this college football season, the Atlantic Coast Conference was crowing because Clemson had beaten Georgia and Miami had beaten Florida. Remember Clemson coach Zeppo Swinney starting a news conference by saying, "How about the ACC?"
On Saturday, there will be four more of those epic SEC-ACC battles and I'm sure that the other conference will be sending out news releases and breaking news alerts if Florida State beats a Florida team with, like, eight healthy players and Georgia Tech beats a Georgia team that just lost the heart, soul and arm of its team.
But a season is a body of work and its important to note the records of the conferences against the other teams that make up the Power Five conferences. (I am not including the Atlantic Athletic, er, the Amateur Atrophy, uh, the American Eagle, whatever it is they call the old Big East).
The ACC is 3-6 against those teams. The SEC is 6-4. To be fair, the ACC does have Pittsburgh's win over Notre Dame, which is kind of an independent but is pretending to be in the ACC.
Certainly, when you have one team practically locked into the BCS National Championship Game, it's a good time to stick out your chest. Saturday could be another big day for the ACC.
It needs to be a big day for Dr. Football, who last week had a putrid 6-4 record, which only looks good when comparing it to 4-7. That's 102-28 for the season with two weeks to go.
FSU at Florida: A year ago, a lot of us felt like dummies for picking FSU. In retrospect, FSU's soft schedule made the Seminoles look better than they really were while Florida had been through the rigors of a brutal schedule. It's the same way this year, except Florida didn't survive that schedule in more ways than one. FSU, 45-10.
Alabama at Auburn: Breaking news — Nick Saban's wife says he's not leaving Alabama. More breaking news — Florida is not making a coaching change. Remember when breaking news was breaking news? Alabama, 24-21.
Georgia at Georgia Tech: I wonder if any team from a major conference has ever scored 56 points in a conference game and given up 55 in another? I mean, other than Tech. Georgia, 24-23.
Clemson at South Carolina: I caught a lot of grief from the South Carolina camp for picking Clemson last year. South Carolina, 23-21.
Texas A&M at Missouri: Memo to Mizzou defense — make Johnny Sharpie roll right. And don't ever think this game is over until it's over. Missouri, 38-31.
Wake Forest at Vanderbilt: If the 'Dores win this week and win their bowl game, that will be two straight nine-win seasons for James Franklin. Which begs the question — when does the statue go up? Vanderbilt, 23-20.
Ohio State at Michigan: Here's a question for you — FSU and Ohio State both have soft non-conference schedules and each has one win over a team in the BCS Top 25. So why is FSU ranked ahead of Ohio State again? Ohio State, 42-21.
Notre Dame at Stanford: Oregon's players said last week they weren't excited about going to the Rose Bowl again. Fellas, enjoy the Valero Alamo Bowl. Meanwhile, it's Stanford vs. Arizona State for the Pac-12 title. Oh, wait, that's next week. Stanford, 31-13.
UCLA at USC: Lane Kiffin said this week that Ed Orgeron is the natural selection for the USC job. Why does he think anyone at USC would listen to him? USC, 34-28.
Arizona at Arizona State: Did you know that these two teams play for the Territorial Cup, which is the oldest trophy in college football? Neither did I. Arizona State, 38-31.

I know it's a bit late, but still wanted to get my list in for this year. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'd like to submit my list of technologies that I'm thankful for. I'm thankful because all five technologies - that I use virtually every day - are compatible with Linux, and most are open source; that is, people self-organize and develope software so that others can freely modify and use it as they wish.
The first technology on my list has to be the Ubuntu Linux OS (Macbuntu 11.04 to be exact). I did away with Windows the first part of this year and have never looked back. Macbuntu (Linux) is more stable, faster, doesn't get viruses for the most part, and there's no need to defrag the harddrive. Ubuntu works right out of the box and is ideal for a non-tech person such as myself.
WordPress is next on my list. This entire website is built on Wordpress, in fact. With a load of plugins available, WordPress is ideal for adapting a website to one's needs.
Although Mendeley is not open source, it works great on Linux. Since I am involved with doing research, Mendeley allows me to not only keep track of references, but I can sync all my references to my work and home computers as well as sync to my mobile device (Galaxy Tab) instantly. I can also create groups and interact with others who are doing similar research. There's a premium account available but the free account allows for a lot of free space to include both the reference information and any attached PDF files as well. This is a must for researchers!
Since I do a lot of screencasting, Tibesti is another absolute must. Even though you must install the software from the terminal, it's an easy process, just cut and paste. The great thing about Tibesti is that you can record your voice through the mic and also record audio coming through your sound card simultaneously. For example, I can record an online live session in Google+ Hangout and capture my voice and the participants' voices with no problems. If you are a tech. person, you can do the same from the terminal but you need to know what you are doing. I don't know what I'm doing, so two thumbs up for Tibesti!
Last but not least, I'm thankful for Ubuntu One! Cloud computing seems to be the thing these days, but Ubuntu One is great because it's "baked" into Macbuntu, so getting started is as easy as signing in with a username and password. They provide up to 5MB of free space (premium accounts are available) and it allows me to automatically sync my files with my work and home computers as well as my mobile device, all in an instance.
Well, there you have it, the software I depend on daily to get the job done. What software are you thankful for?
