The "Incorruptible" Mark Waid
Following up on the success of "Irredeemable," his Peter Krause-illustrated series starring a Superman-esque superhero going very, very wrong, comics veteran and BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid launches a new ongoing series from the other side of the spectrum in December. "Incorruptible" stars a bad guy inspired by a hero's fall to turn over a new leaf, as costumed evildoer Max Damage takes on a new identity in both name and deed. CBR News spoke with Waid about the new series, his two titles' shared universe, and other adjectives his name might bear.
In "Irredeemable," now on its eighth issue, the Plutonian has cracked under the weight of his own mistakes as well as public and personal criticism, murdering his teammates in the Paradigm, devasting the Sky City metropolis he had called home, and striking terror in the hearts of heroes, villains, and ordinary citizens the world over. The surviving heroes search for answers to the Plutonian's most closely-guarded secrets in a desperate quest to neutralize him, but the Plutonian always seems to be one step ahead – and the body count continues to rise.
As "Incorruptible" opens, readers find that the villainous Max Damage's decision to go straight has come as a direct result of experiencing first-hand the formerly-heroic Plutonian's wholesale destruction of Sky City. "It was like being in Katrina, at ground zero, in the middle of it. He was in the thick of the Sky City destruction, and it was such an epiphany for him," Waid said. "A villain is a villain, but even villains want the world to survive. Even the most remorseless villains have some regard for small children and animals. And it doesn't benefit him at all if this mad god really does destroy the world. He's in a position of, nobody else is going to step up. As far as he's concerned, the rest of the Paradigm guys have been beaten by the Plutonian, they're pretty much off the radar, and there's really nobody else to step up. If nobody else is going to do it, he's going to do it." It is at this point that Max Damage becomes Max Daring and embarks upon a more noble path.
Waid told CBR that Max Daring's road to heroism would involve certain logistical challenges. "His problem is that, all he really knows is what he's not supposed to be doing," the writer said of his protagonist's approach to doing good rather than evil. "I don't want this to come off sounding like a comedy, because it's not – although there is sometimes a black-comic feel to it – but really, all he knows about superheroes is what he sees from the other side of being punched by them. He knows that they're supposed to uphold the good, he knows they're supposed to be uncompromising in their virtue and values, and that's kind of all he knows. Really, if there were any superheroes left after the Plutonian's rampages, he would be smart to pick a mentor, but that's not an option, because even if he did, no one would believe that he's gone straight. So he's pretty much got to chart his own path, and it's not really easy for him because he's surrounded by people who have an interest in him returning to his old life."
In the midst of fighting crime and saving innocents, there will be some problems of perspective, Waid said. "The other problem he has going in is that he knows he's on a slippery slope. He can't recognize grey areas, he can't give himself the attitude of 'some things are wrong, but that's ok, other things are more wrong, and that's not ok,'" the writer said. "He's very absolute, at least at first, about his moral values, because he doesn't know any other way to approach the job. So that means that he's kind of in a place where he's not sure where to attack first because – it's an extreme example, but, if he goes into a bar, and there's a guy robbing the bar, and another guy smoking in the bar, those are the same level of wrong in that they're both breaking the law. He's going to have to figure out a way, in order to keep going in this situation, he's going to have to make choices. What is the greater evil before him? That's his weakness: if two crimes are going on at the same time, he's not good at prioritizing, because to him they're both wrong."
Max's somewhat unusual power set involves an increasing level of power based on how long he can go without sleep. "The longer he stays awake, the harder and tougher his skin gets, and the stronger he gets," Waid said. "On a power level, he becomes kind of like the Golden Age Superman. He can't fly, he doesn't have heat vision or stuff like that, but he's a powerhouse of a guy. But the trick of that is, his mind is just as vulnerable as everybody else's, so there's a limit to how long he can stay up without crashing. That's probably why the Plutonian has always been able to beat him in the past, because in order to be strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the Plutonian, that means Max has been awake for long enough where his judgment is severely impaired.
"But what that gives us, and we'll see this in upcoming issues, too, is that there's a flipside to this. Early on in the day, after a sleeping jag, there's a time when Max is exceedingly vulnerable, and he keeps that very much to himself. It very quickly manifests itself into something superhuman, but it's in those very first moments of the day when Max gets out of bed that he can really feel a hot shower, or feel what a really good shave feels like. Frankly, and he wouldn't say this to anybody, but that's probably his favorite part of the day."
Waid said that while battling Max is not immediately on the Plutonian's immediate to-do list, "the Plutonian is very much on Max's radar." "Knowing that he's so new at this, Max is not going to go at the Plutonian toe-to-toe again right off the bat. Instead, he needs a plan," the writer told CBR. "That's part of the story you'll see in the first two issues, is Max starting to put together his anti-Plutonian plan – for the first time, from the point of view of a superhero."
The writer also stressed that, despite the connections between the series, a familiarity with "Irredeemable" is not essential to understanding "Incorruptible." "It's a standard old thing to say, but it's true: 'Incorruptible' stands on its own, you don't have to read 'Irredeemable' to read 'Incorruptible,' they stand alone and apart. The fact that they are part of a shared universe is not something that should intimidate you as a reader, it just helps give more dimension to it," Waid said. "If you're not in the mood to read 'Irredeemable,' but there's something about 'Incorruptible' that intrigues you, be assured you can jump in head first and not be lost."
Waid has tackled reformed villains before, notably during his long tenure on "The Flash," during which time both Heatwave and the Pied Piper were on the side of angels. Compared to those baddies who saw the error of their ways, Waid said that Max is less guilt-ridden. "Heatwave's mindset was always a little bit tortured and recriminatory for the things he's done in the past. The Pied Piper was also something where he carried around some sense of regret about what happened in the past, whereas Max is a much more simple guy than that," the writer explained. "He lives completely in the moment, he doesn't get up in the morning and swallow his misery about the bad he's done in the past. He's just interested in moving on as a hero in the future. That's a big part of it, he doesn't carry around a bunch of guilt.
"The world sees him as a villain. There isn't anybody who believes in him. And he doesn't care," Waid continued. "That's the beauty of Max. Basically, the Plutonian is this guy who clearly cares too much about what other people think. Whereas Max cannot be touched – he doesn't give a rat's ass what anybody else in the world thinks about what he does, what he says, or how he acts. He doesn't spend any time trying to figure out how to convince other heroes of the world that he's a good guy. He's just going to go out and do what he does. If they come around, that's great; if they don't come around, that's their problem."
As to the villains Max might have counted as friends, Waid indicated they are less concerned with steering Damage/Daring back down the primrose path than they are with saving their own skins. "Despite what we might see in Flash comics, villains don't really bond that well and have pizza on Saturday night. He doesn't really have that many villain friends, but the old villains who he is closest to are actually the ones who are most scared, because they are the ones Max is going to go after first," the writer said. "He knows them, he knows what their strengths and weaknesses are, he knows them intimately, and he figures if he's going to be on a learning curve, he might as well start with the low-hanging fruit."
Other members of the "Incorruptible" cast include Max's less-heroic teen sidekick, Jailbait, and his police liaison of sorts, Lieutenant Armadale."Lieutenant Armadale is a high-ranking officer in the police department and the only guy who actually believes that Max has gone straight," Waid said. "He's working from the inside to make Max's reform and transition a little bit smoother, and that has a lot to do with Armadale's own paths, his own skeletons in the closet – the truth of Armadale, as we'll see, is he's a guy that desperately, desperately, desperately needs redemption. On some level, he feels like, if Max can genuinely turn a corner, that gives him hope that maybe he can, too."
The marketing campaigns for both "Irredeemable" and "Incorruptible" have been squarely focused on Waid's alleged disposition, with the former bearing the tagline "Mark Waid is Evil" and the newer series claiming "Mark Waid is Incorruptible," injecting a bit of behind-the-scenes personality into the titles' promotion. "I think mostly it's that my name metrically stacks very well with the word 'evil,'" Waid joked. "The idea for the 'Mark Waid is Evil' campaign began with Chip Mosher, who is our Marketing Director, and it kind of surprised me but it was great. We still get demand for those special covers to 'Irredeemable' #1 that say 'Mark Waid is Evil' at every convention, we still get demand for the t-shirts. And I don't know whether to be elated or despair over this. So we made it 'Mark Waid was Evil, Mark Waid is Incorruptible' for this go-around.
"Then, whatever, if I do more books in this vein, maybe, 'Mark Waid is Irritable,' 'Mark Waid is Incontinent,' who knows."

Brewer back; other Bulls moves in the offing?
The Bulls have added one veteran for the playoff push.
Ronnie Brewer filled the roster spot vacated when the Bulls released rookie Erik Murphy on Thursday.
Murphy was claimed off waivers by Utah, which is what the Bulls had in mind all along. With the payroll precariously close to the luxury tax threshold, the remaining portion of Murphy's salary now comes off the books.
Will the Bulls sign anyone else? League sources have suggested the possibility, and the Bulls still have two available roster spots.
The most likely addition would be a point guard to provide insurance in case Kirk Hinrich or D.J. Augustin get injured during the playoffs. And yes, the longer the Bulls survive in the playoffs, the questions about Derrick Rose's potential return will increase. For the time being, he's considered out for the year.
So veteran Mike James, who spent training camp with the Bulls and knows the system, is a logical addition. They're in better shape with big men, so that position seems less likely.
"Gar (Forman) and John (Paxson) are looking at people," said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau on Monday. "If something makes sense and it's a good fit for us, we'll add. We're in an unusual situation with our roster. We're always looking."
Brewer in familiar spot:
Ronnie Brewer talked about what it was like to walk into the Bulls locker room roughly two years after he left. Brewer, who will wear his former No. 11, visited the Berto Center for a solo workout last week, but that didn't remain a secret for long.
"When I came up to work out, I guess the word kind of got out. Some guys were hitting me, seeing if I was up here," he said. "Nothing was solid yet, so I couldn't be like, 'Yeah, I am and I'm going to be on the team,' because I hadn't signed yet.
"So it was good to go in the locker room and see the smile on (Carlos Boozer's) face and Joakim (Noah), Jimmy (Butler), be able to see D-Rose, Taj (Gibson). And I knew some of the other guys from around the league, so it was good to meet those guys and be on the same team as them."
Bull horns:
Scottie Pippen was at the Berto Center during Monday's practice, wearing Clark Kent glasses. He went onto the court to give some instruction to rookie Tony Snell after practice ended. ... The Bulls' magic number to clinch homecourt advantage in the first round is three.

Take a positive attitude to work
I often hear from people:
- I hate my job.
- I don't feel like going to work.
- I have no excitement in my career. It is the same old grind.
This happens more so often because most people are doing things that they never wanted to do in their professional life. I have written about this problem in my post – Are you what you always wanted to be?
I suggest a three step solution for people who are stuck in such a situation!
1. Take a positive attitude to work.
Even if you want to change the big picture, you got to do what you are expected to do on the given day when you reach your workplace. You may hate the work, but you have to do it. Now, if you can take a positive attitude towards your current job and enjoy the same, you will have a good day at your workplace and you will feel satisfied and happy at the end of the day. If you keep cursing the world for putting in that position, you will end up feeling more frustrated and probably mess up the work that you are doing.
So, cheer up and take a positive attitude to work. Think of the ways your work makes a difference to others. It does. Else you would not have been doing it and your boss / client would not have been paying you to do the same.
2. Visualize the value chain
Once you know, how your work helps the company / social setup in the bigger context, try to visualize the value chain. So you might like to find out what happens before and/or after you do your job. What is the value that the end consumer gets? Try to visualize the entire value chain and see where you fit in based on what you will like to do and the profile which can have maximum impact on the company / social setup where you want to contribute.
3. Make your moves
Once you have learnt to live your daily workday in a positive way and have visualized the area where you will like to see yourself in you can start making moves towards achieving the same. Please note that this should be closer to what you always wanted to be or should be able to derive similar level of satisfaction, else you may not feel the drive to achieve this new position.
You can start training yourself appropriately. Gather knowledge through books, Internet, friends, professional gatherings, etc.
With the appropriate knowledge, show your organization that you are capable of doing something better or more valuable than what you are currently doing. Everyone wants a proof-of-concept! Once you have proved your credibility and capability, you can surely find you way to reach your goal.
Take action.

This poor kitty had to go in for emergency surgery on Saturday night to have his side repaired after a scary incident. From what we can determine he must have scrape up against a nail that was hidden in the framing under our stairs. (All fixed up now)
Our vet was amazing and met me right at the clinic. Without a technician to assist, I was able to stay with Sirius throughout the whole surgery and help as much as I could. I have to say it was completely gross to see all the stitches and help flush the wound. Sirius was a champ and we were home by midnight. Scotty slept downstairs in the office and helped Sirius adjust to life with a ton of stitches and drainage tube.
He is doing well and on Wednesday when we go in to have the tube removed and then two weeks for the rest of the follow up. Thanks very much everyone for all your love :)! Our little guy is going to pull through and we appreciate all the support, it has been heartbreaking to see him in such rough shape.

Sure, the Emmys have gotten pretty good about awarding the right shows at the right time (hello, Homeland!) — but that wasn't necessarily always the case. In fact, its 60-plus-year history is filled with more question marks and drawn-out love affairs than an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Remember when The Practice won everything in sight? Or that time Joan of Arcadia happened?
With the Emmy nominations just 24 hours away, we've decided to take a look back at these and other once-popular shows that now exist only in conversations that begin and end with "Oh yeah, that show!" At the risk of drudging up every bad memory ever created by Judging Amy (which, trust me, isn't fun), check out our list, below.
Huff (2004-2006)
At the time, Huff, about a psychiatrist (Hank Azaria) in the midst of a midlife crisis, was one of those "cool" cable shows that one person in your office talked about incessantly and had everyone running back to their desks being like, "Wait. Should I be watching Huff?" Nobody really did, though, which is why the Showtime comedy was canceled after just two seasons. Still, that didn't stop Emmy voters from trying to make Huff happen, which meant we all had to suffer through two inexplicable and consecutive wins for co-star Blythe Danner. (Fans of Grey's Anatomy will remember Danner's second win very well, as it was the year she beat frontrunner Sandra Oh.)
Heroes (2006-2010)
Heroes, in which a bunch of modern-day superheroes basically did everything in their powers to save Hayden Panettiere, was arguably the zeitgeist show of 2006, and had the eight Emmy nominations to prove it. Unfortunately, subsequent seasons failed to live up to the hype, and viewers were forced to sit through incessant promo campaigns until it finally disappeared four years later.
Joan of Arcadia (2003-2005)
Joan of Arcadia literally took the lyrics from Joan Osbourne's "One of Us" and turned it into an hourlong drama. Which, to be fair, was a pretty good show. But the just-quirky-enough premise, backed by the just-quirky-enough Amber Tamblyn, never really caught on with audiences, making its 2004 nomination for Best Drama Series feel like a flash in the pan, if a little random.
The Practice (1997-2004)
You probably remember The Practice, that David E. Kelley legal drama that had people confusing Dylan McDermott with Dermot Mulroney, launched a forgettable memoir by co-star Camryn Manheim and actually beat the first season of The Sopranos for Best Drama Series. But does anyone really remember what actually happened on that show, besides the crossover episodes with Ally McBeal and that time Michael Emerson played a creepy killer? No? Me either.
Without a Trace (2004-2009)
In its early years, critics actually rallied behind Without a Trace, a CBS serial that focused on missing persons investigations. Star Anthony LaPaglia won a Golden Globe for his performance, and eventually got an Emmy nomination for season 2. But just as it was about to become a Real Thing, the show slowly fell apart until it was finally canceled in 2009. It currently lives somewhere in the Land of Syndication (ION, to be exact).
Dharma & Greg (1997-2002)
Dharma & Greg, about a straight-laced husband and his kooky wife, briefly made a star out of Jenna Elfman — so much so, she earned three Emmy nominations, a Golden Globe and, by season 5, annoyed complaints from TV viewers who just wanted that goddamn show to end, already.
Judging Amy (1997-2005)
Judging Amy was about a judge named Amy (get it?) who lived in Connecticut with her mother and daughter and dealt with family law cases. It aired for six insufferable seasons, and Tyne Daly (who played Amy's mother) was nominated every single year. She even won an Emmy in 2003, despite veryobviouscompetition, and the cut was deep.
Once and Again (1999-2002)
Once and Again aired at a time when hourlong family dramas were still a very popular thing on network television. Voters were even kind enough to give star Sela Ward an Emmy for its first season, but the show never made it past three.
Pushing Daisies (2007-09)
Pushing Daisies earned a staggering 12 Emmy nods for its first season; but not even a subsequent win for Kristin Chenoweth could keep the show on past season 2, despite very, very, very trying efforts from bloggers on the Internet.
Northern Exposure (1990-1995)
A New York doctor moved to a quirky town in Alaska and met a bunch of quirky patients, and a boatload of Emmys followed; but like other things that came out of The Last Frontier State, the appeal eventually wore off.

PWND: Joey & Meghan Play Temple Run 2!
Last week, we saw Joey defeat Meghan while playing Mario Chase — and she had to eat a dinner of mustard, relish, and a milk creamer! — but who will be the victor this time around? For the latest episode of PWND, the duo sits down the play a game of Temple Run. One thing working in Meghan's favor for this particular game? Joey's never even played it!
That's right, you get to witness Joey's very first time playing the popular game. So, Meghan decides to go first, and breaks down the game a little bit for those who haven't played. Meghan plays her round and ends up getting an impressive 112,356 points! Then, of course, it's Joey's turn to play!
So, who ends up winning? And more importantly — who ended up having to pick from the Jar of Consequences?! One hint we will give you about the consequence — the loser has to do the Harlem Shake by themselves out in public! Watch the video above to find out who has to do it!

Tortillas to Totems
|Ask a question about this product
CGR is pleased to promote the Author Sam Manicom and his motorcycling adventure books. One of the worlds leading motorcycle authors his books have been read and reviewed the world over.
In Sam Manicom's fourth book Tortillas to Totems, he and his partner Birgit Schuenemann head up through Mexico, a complex, beautiful and diverse country, towards the USA, but he'd feared that things were going to be too easy. The States and Canada were going to be lands where he knew how things worked. He'd seen enough TV to believe that there were going to be recognisable rules and regulations for everything. It felt as if those systems would allow them to ride without thinking too much. He worried that there'd be few of the challenges or the dramas that had kept his 'guardian angel' working overtime for so many years as he'd ridden through Africa, Australia, Asia, the Middle East and South America. He also worried about the negative pictures of the USA as painted by the more unscrupulous elements of the media.
Sam says, 'I was wrong to be so worried, but I didn't anticipate just how different things were going to be. We thought we spoke the languages and knew what to expect, but we didn't know the half of it. I also hadn't realised how much Birgit and I had changed over the years in third and second world countries.'
The 304 page Tortillas to Totems is packed with line drawings with the centre pages made up of colour photos
Globe-trotting biker Manicom's a natural storyteller. Although this trip may sound like a standard ride through familiar country, be assured, it isn't. Adventure Bike Rider magazine
'That night we found a gem of a camping spot. It was one of those places that you dream about. Tucked away down a long gravel road, the tiny campsite nestled on the shores of a small blue lake. The Mexican owner rushed out to greet us. I liked him straight away. He was a small, brown, round and cheerful man with thinning hair. He was shaking our hands even before we could get our gloves off. He showed us to a prime spot right by the shore, and then where the showers were. He was very proud of the fact that they had hot water. He'd rigged up a series of oil drums, suspended over a long fire pit. He told us that at 6pm each day he'd light the fire under the barrels and the water took about half an hour to heat to, "A very good temperature." He was right too. It was blissful and there was something rather fine about showering in a wilderness under water that had been heated in this way. The wooden stalls were only as high as my shoulders and that night we showered to the sight of the sun going down. It fell as a perfectly round orange-red ball until it disappeared behind the forested hills. As a sort of final dash of defiance, the sky suddenly turned a flaming orange which turned the hills into a stark black silhouette. The only sounds came from the rushing shower water and the call of a bird down by the shore. The contrast to the city couldn't have been more profound, and that night we were treated to a sky so full of stars that it looked as if someone had tipped over a pirate's treasure chest…'
'North American supermarkets were a childish adventure for us. We were like kids in a toy store at Christmas. For the last couple of years we'd done most of our shopping in little shops where squadrons of flies practised aerobatics over the one choice of sardine, shampoo, soap, bread and sometimes even goat or sheep cheese. We'd bought our vegetables from little Indian women, choosing from their displays lovingly laid out on blankets on the ground. Great fun, but sometimes we'd dreamt of not having to bargain for everything. It's a slow process. Now, these dreams were coming true. Ten choices of sardine, fixed price; twenty choices of shampoo, fixed price; but what to choose? And so many different types of bread! The goodies on the salad vegetable bar looked really fresh. We stood admiring them and then were amazed as artificial thunder rolled, lights flashed and artificial rain fell all over the salad from the 'roof' of the salad bar! When cool air floated out towards us I suddenly realised that I was standing with my mouth open, again… No blanket on the ground here, that's for sure…'
'An hour or so later, as the sun was beginning to fall over the end of the valley, turning the violets, sages and greens of the hills into shadowy dusty reds and oranges, a group of horses appeared. The lead horse, a black, white and brown 'paint', pawed the ground and sniffed the air. We were downwind but perhaps he thought he'd heard us talking to each other. I doubt he could see us but he was on his guard as the other horses, a couple of which were wobbly-legged foals, set to grazing the stream's banks, or to drinking from the gently flowing water. We held our breath. This sight felt like a pure gift. Never had I imagined that we would be sitting in a place such as this, surrounded by wild horses. The now brilliant orange sun made the perfect backdrop as the milling horses kicked up small clouds of dust as they fed and drank. This was the real Wild West as far as I was concerned. The horses did their thing and we sat silently watching their peaceful movements. It was almost as if, to the horses, we weren't there at all. Slowly they began to head downstream, feeding as they went and before long they disappeared into the deep red that the last of the sun had cast over the land. Then suddenly it was night and the stars were appearing above us. We didn't need anything else at that moment. Life was pretty much as perfect as it could get…'
'The bikes' engines idled as we sat looking at the obstacle. The only thing to do was to 'go for it'. We'd make it or we wouldn't. Neither of us considered that going up would be far easier than going down again. As always, Birgit went first. She gunned her engine a little, as if to make sure it hadn't gone to sleep and was ready for what was to come. Standing on her foot pegs, she eased forward, and then went for it, her eyes fixed on the smoother trail beyond. We'd both learnt by this time that often this is the only way to get through a situation like this.
Pick your route, plan what you are going to try to do, and then focus on the other side leaving the power of the bike and instinct to deal with the problems. With a roar, her bike hit the gully, it's back end jiggled furiously and then, bucking, it took Birgit up and through the rocks. Not once did she look as if she was going to fall off. I was impressed, but now it was my turn…'

The stories he tells don't just transport you there – they encourage you to get on your bike and ride. For me – that's the best thing a travel book can do.' The London Biker.com

A century ago, Democrats gathered in Denver to choose a presidential candidate to challenge Republican nominee William Howard Taft. There, the populist William Jennings Bryan accepted his third Democratic nomination in twelve years–and the measured skepticism of The Nation's editors.
It is a sound piece of advice a French statesman gave when he said that we ought to take political events seriously, but not tragically. In that spirit, Bryan's third nomination should be received. It is, in any aspect, a momentous thing. No discounting of the occurrence in advance can blind thoughtful men to its significance and its gravity. That this man and what he stands for should have so permeated, so drenched, the Democratic party as to make all opposition futile is not a fact to be lightly dismissed. It testifies to pervasive political conditions which it would be folly to ignore. Bryan is not to be disposed of by calling him a charlatan and adventurer. He has not lifted himself by his own bootstraps. He has been borne aloft by a great wave of discontent and desire for radical changes, which has swept over large parts of the country. That is the serious thing. No one can look through Bryan to the political forces which have made him what he is, and not have some troubled moments. Yet it is no time for treating the matter au tragique. The part of sober citizens is to look about them and see what resources they may count upon in resisting the attempt to turn the government over to a flighty and unstable agitator.
No intelligent survey of the nation's defences against Bryanism can blink the truth that they have been greatly weakened during the past four years. It is not possible today to rally the conservative forces of the country in opposition to Bryan so splendidly as in 1896. Everybody knows the reason why. You cannot revile a man whom you have imitated. A party that has appropriated Bryan's ideas cannot, with good effect, attack his person. At the very beginning of the Republican campaign, it is the part whether of frankness or sound generalship, to admit that power of resistance to Bryan has been much broken by four years of yielding to him. President Roosevelt's avowed and deliberate purpose has been to head off, Bryan by stealing his issues. The argument, or threat, which he has constantly used, has been: "If you do not go half way with me, you will have to go the whole way with Bryan." Well, we see now what comes of the plan of fighting a dangerous enemy by surrendering to him. The Bryan who was to be extinguished is exalted higher than ever.

If there are no last-minute glitches, East German party and state chief Erich Honecker will finally fulfill his wish to visit West Germany Sept. 26 to 29. The dates have not been officially announced yet, but preparations went ahead Wednesday with West German Cabinet guarantees of the latest West German bank credit to East Germany of 950 million marks ($333 million).
Glitches are still a distinct possibility, especially given the rising chorus of denunciations of West German ''revanchism'' from the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and, now, Poland.
So far, Moscow seems to have allowed East Berlin a fair amount of leeway in its lucrative economic relations with West Germany.
But chronic Soviet suspicions of too much pan-German coziness have been strengthened in the past few months by Moscow's dawning realization that Bonn is neither going to be pressured nor sweet-talked into stopping the ongoing NATO deployments of new medium-range nuclear missiles.
Moscow's generally friendly or neutral words for Bonn over the last few years have reverted this summer to pre-detente-style allegations of West German designs on former German territories in East Europe.
There has been no open Soviet rebuke of East German dealings with West Germany.
But the persistent Soviet attacks on Bonn raise the question of whether Moscow thinks East Berlin is paying too high a political price for West German financial largesse.
The tenor of the new Soviet criticism of West Germany suggests that Moscow would like to see East Berlin punish rather than reward Bonn for the new NATO deployments, as Moscow is seeking to punish Washington.
For many weeks, East Germany ignored the drumfire from the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. But now it has joined in, half-heartedly.
Mr. Honecker went no further than his customary periodic comments in telling a Soviet interviewer that ''some'' West Germans (i.e., not the Bonn government) want to ''revive old revanchist dreams.''
But East German Politburo member Egon Krenz, speaking in Poland, did go further this week. He condemned an ''imperialist FRG'' (Federal Republic of (West) Germany) and ''great German expansionism.'' Significantly, the East German Communist Party newspaper Neues Deutschland omitted this name-calling when it reported Krenz's remarks.
The political price that East Germany is paying for the East-West German island of detente does not seem high to many West Germans.
Philipp Jenninger, state minister for inner-German relations in the chancellery, announced an East German easing of cross-border visits Wednesday, and these were more meager than the West Germans had hoped.
(The measures remain unannounced in East Germany. Neues Deutchland on July 26 reported briefly that East Germany has secured a $333 million credit but did not identify the loaner or mention East Germany's loosening of travel restrictions.)
Beginning next week, Dr. Jenninger said, East German pensioners may spend 60 (rather than just 30) days at a stretch in West Germany, and they may visit friends rather than relatives only. West German pensioners may reciprocate for 45 (rather than 30) days and will have to fork over only 15 (rather than 25) West German marks ($5 rather than $8) a day to do so.
Further, West Germans living near the border may now make two-day rather than just one-day visits to East Germany; visas will no longer expire at midnight on the day of issue. (Still under discussion is the question as to whether this provision will apply to West Berliners visiting East Berlin.)
There is no lowering of the minimum age at which East Germans may travel West , however. Nor is there any reduction in the daily currency exchange required of Western visitors to East Germany under retirement age.
Dr. Jenninger said East Germany has promised to accelerate its dismantling of automatic shooting devices on the East-West German border - and not to replace them. And he noted that, as announced earlier, East Germany will prolong use of the Heerstrasse-Staaken crossing for transit traffic between West Germany and West Berlin until the end of 1987; originally that crossing was to have been closed at the end of this year.
This much liberalization is still enough for West Germany to go ahead with plans for the Honecker visit. And Soviet attacks on West Germany have remained low-key enough for the East Germans to proceed with their plans.
As the schedule is shaping up, Honecker will go to his native Saarland. He may also drop in on Bavaria. He will be entertained with suitably ambiguous protocol by West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at Bad Kreuznach and by West German President Richard Von Weizsacker at the Gymnich Palace 25 miles outside Bonn.
Honecker thus will not set foot in the German capital - and Dr. Kohl therefore will not have to set foot in the East German capital on his return visit, presumably next year. The West has never acknowledged East Berlin as the capital of East Germany.
All of Berlin, East and West, is formally still under control of the World War II occupying powers.

You can direct concerns about candidates to email@example.com, which will be taken into account when the AM's report is being evaluated. I presume it takes quite a few comments from different developers before those would override the AM's recommendation though. Positive comments can also be sent there (as an additional "advocate" round, I guess), and are AIUI particularly appreciated, since that gives more support to accepting a candidate, which is, after all, what almost always happens at that point.

This watercolor paint project is a fun, easy craft for kids! All you need is some painter's tape or washi tape (see other washi tape ideas here, here and here) and a set of watercolor paints! You simply place the tape on the paper, forming any particular letter. Then, you paint over the tape with some watercolors. When you peel the tape off, you're left with a pretty watercolor art!
My kids loved this project, and Sophia demanded to hang her artwork in her room to admire it every day. I'm so glad when she expresses a pride in her artwork, and I always try to foster within her a sense of creativity with her artwork. Some other kid's crafts we've done in the past (this, this and this) have really instilled within her a love for arts & crafts… and to be honest, I myself love doing art with her!
So here is the easy tutorial on this project!
Initial Watercolor Paint Project for Kids
washi tape or painter's tape
watercolors & paint brushes
1. Place the tape on your paper in the shape of a letter or number or any shape of your choice. We chose our initials!
2. Paint over it with your choice of watercolors!
3. Peel the tape off and admire your work!
Here is Sophia's piece. She loves it so much!

2 Responses to "Initial Watercolor Paint Project for Kids"
Smart Mom, helping to instill love of making art in your child. Why did schools have to drop art and band and gym class? Then they wonder why all kids want to do is play on their phones or computers. duh. What is being done with money that was used to pay teachers for those subjects? Talk about taking jobs away. More Moms like you need to be sharing these activities with their kids, hopefully you and other Moms like you can get these skills going again. What are kids supposed to do with those skills in their hearts/heads if they aren't encouraged more? Keep up great work Mom, lets hope you inspire many more parents to do art and other subjects taken away from our kids. You are to be commended. Happy week

Many mainlanders are now looking to maximise the use of their residential space through customised makeovers that transform whole homes in a one-off fashion, according to exhibitors at this year's China International Furniture Fair.
More than 4,000 exhibitors took part in the 2017 China International Furniture Fair (Guangzhou). Covering a total exhibition area of 750,000 square metres, the event featured bespoke areas dedicated to home furniture, home decoration, home textiles and outdoor living. Some 200 products were launched during the course of the show, including several new innovations in the fields of smart homes, convertible furniture, whole house customisation and neo-Chinese home designs.
According to many attendees, home furnishing is going to be big business this year. In particular, bespoke items and styles are said to be widely in demand, a consequence of the growing trend for individual expression among many mainland consumers.
Bespoke Residences and Designer Dwellings
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the total value of China's furniture manufacturing industry was RMB855.95 billion (US$124 billion) in 2016, an 8.6% year-on-year increase. While the traditional ready-made sector continues to thrive, companies offering comprehensive and bespoke home-furnishing solutions have enjoyed the most robust growth.
One exhibitor specialising in this particular sector was Guangzhou Shangpin Home Collection (SHC). This year, the company opted to showcase a number of room installations, including full-scale mock-ups of its latest bedroom, living room and study styles and options.
According to Zhang Jianwei, the company's press spokesperson, it is frequently difficult for mainland residents to find ready-made furniture that matches the particular requirements of their home spaces. At the same time, he said, many of those living in the tier-one cities now had high expectations of the design, functionality and storage capacity of their chosen home furniture. On top of this, rising real-estate prices are leading many buyers to settle for small residential units, which they then opt to refurbish throughout with bespoke items.
As a result, a popular option for many homeowners is a one-stop bespoke home furnishing supplier, typically a company that can offer a comprehensive, room-by-room, custom-made fixtures and fittings service. In the case of SHC, prospective customers are invited to visit its showroom, where they can discuss their particular needs with one of the company's designers. This is followed by a site visit, which allows SHC's operatives to assess the overall space available and gain an understanding of the client's particular requirements.
Working with the products and styles the client has selected, the designer will then prepare a 3D home design proposal, while also providing an initial cost estimate. Typically, this stage is completed within 3-4 days. Once the budget and the design has been approved, the company begins the process of manufacturing the individual components before on-site installation commences.
Another exhibitor specialising in this sector is Shanghai Dandou Arts and Crafts. According to Wang Xiao, the company's Representative in Guangzhou, Dandou can customise home furniture items to meet the specific requirements of clients, allowing them to fully utilise any available space in their homes, a facility often lacking when it comes to ready-made furniture.
Understandably, this style of home furnishing is particularly popular among those living in smaller homes, many of whom feel the need to maximise use of the limited space. With such consumers in mind, a number of companies had novel space-saving options on show this year. One exhibitor, for instance, showed a bed that could be folded away into a closet space at the touch of a button, with its base converting into a bookcase. The lower part of the bed also comes with a bench option, allowing it to be used as a sofa during the day.
Rising Costs and Technical Innovation
Despite growing demand, many in the industry have had to contend with rising costs, with the price of raw materials and wages having risen by 5-8% and 5-9%, respectively, recently. In order to mitigate the impact of these increased costs, many exhibitors were quick to highlight the added-value services they now offer, including an improved after-sales service and enhanced technical capabilities.
According to Wang, adaptability is the key to weathering these rising costs. His own business, Dandou, has looked to improve efficiency and offer a wider range of products and services as a way of offsetting its increased overheads. It has also simplified the procedure for providing quotes and designs, with its creative teams now making initial proposals based solely on a floor-plan and a few photographs of clients' homes.
In the case of SHC, it has set up a lifestyle research centre to profile the preferences and requirements of its target consumers, allowing the company to improve its existing products and to develop new ones in line with changing requirements.
The company has also looked to increasingly automate its production process for custom furniture. While previously it took at least 30 days to manufacture and install a whole set of home furnishing items, thanks to this new technology the same work can now be completed in about 20 days.
According to Zhang, this new technology results in lower production costs, with the savings then passed on to the consumer in terms of an improved overall experience. The company has also adopted an O2O model, allowing customers to check out its product inventory online or visit one of the company's 1,000 outlets to see the range on offer firsthand.
High Quality Bespoke Design
Among the companies specialising in particular furnishing sectors is Guangzhou Pyua Biotechnology, which had on offer a range of children's desks and chairs for home use. Its 9-AU range of desks measure 110cm in length and 76.5-79.5cm in width, while their heights are adjustable in the 50-75.5cm range. The desktops themselves are available in a range of colours and come coated in anti-scratch and anti-slip materials.
One of Dandou's specialties, meanwhile, is its range of neo-American solid wood home furniture. According to Wang, it has proved increasingly popular with mainland purchasers, largely on account of its high perceived quality.
On offer from Guangzhou City Oupin Furniture was a convertible, multi-function table, which can serve as coffee table, a tea trolley, a computer desk or a dining table. Is height is fully adjustable, and its porcelain tabletop is said to be scratch-proof and heat-resistant.
In the case of Beijing Family Furniture, it was in Guangzhou to show its 47-stong range of multi-coloured furniture boards. All of its products are said to come with a noise-reduction system, which damps down the sounds normally produced by hinges, pulleys and slide rails.
Rounding things off, Hubei Jinkaidi Furniture was keen to promote its range of teen-oriented solid wooden furniture. Coated with environmentally friendly water-based paints, these oak products are available in a selection of colours and a number of combinations.
The 2017 China International Furniture Fair (Guangzhou) took place at the China Import and Export Fair Complex and the Poly World Trade Centre Expo from 18-21 March (Phase One) and 28-31 March (Phase Two).

Intersection house is a new build house in West London.The site is on the junction of two streets and the form of the house is generated by the contrasting street angles and the planning restrictions generated on such a tight site. The materials of the building respond to the surrounding brick type and the sheds and fences of the surrounding gardens. The house gained planning permission following lengthy negotiations with the local authority and is the first completed new build for the practice. The house took six months to build and was completed on time and on budget. The team of client, architect and builder are now engaged in further projects together.

As a research institute located in the Northeast of Brazil, where still there is a high incidence of illness and death from infectious and parasitological co-existing with non-communicable chronic diseases, the Research Center Aggeu Magalhães (CPqAM), Fiocruz Pernambuco, is dedicated to the study of diseases such Dengue, Chagas disease, Schistosomiasis, Filariasis, Leishmaniasis, Plague and Tuberculosis. All of those are called neglected diseases because they affect thousands of people around the world, especially in the poorest countries, and have little commercial appeal to the private Pharmacistindustry.
For the Brazilian Public Health, the research focused on improving diagnostic methods and the development and the improvement of vaccines against these diseases are important tools for improving the health situation of the population. Thus, Fiocruz of Pernambuco has been conducting vigorous studies aiming the development of faster and effective diagnoses of Chagas disease, Schistosomiasis, Filariasis, Hantavirus, Leishmaniasis, Plague and Tuberculosis, among other illness. The center is also working on the development of vaccines against Dengue and Leishmaniasis, and trying to improve the existing vaccine against Yellow Fever.
The CPqAM also performs recognized work in other areas, developing research related to Malaria and Leprosy, among other ailments. The institution has been working in the development of ways to control the vectors, like Aedes aegypti, which transmits Dengue fever, and Culex quinquefasciatus, the transmitting agent of Filariasis. Another area which the institute has invested is the Epidemiology of infectious diseases such as AIDS, and chronic degenerative diseases, like Obesity, Cancer, Circulatory Diseases and Diabetes, besides working in the areas of policies, management, planning and evaluation of Public Health services, health surveillance and environmental health.
The institution has traditionally contributed for the studies in the fields of Epidemiology, Planning, Management and Evaluation of Services, Public Policy, Environmental Health and Quantitative Methods in Health. Throughout its trajectory, it has developed activities of education, training and technical cooperation with institutions of the Unified Health System (SUS), aiming to contribute to their consolidation and strengthening.
The permanent integration with services enables the achievement of critical reflections about the health models employed in Brazil and about the changes in epidemiological profiles, nutritional and demographic population, which still suffers from infectious and parasitological diseases, and, at the same time, is affected by the modern times diseases, such as Obesity, Diabetes, various types of Cancer and Cardio-Pulmonary diseases.
Fiocruz Pernambuco conducts research on health information systems, with the expectation that the analyzed data reflect the problems and challenges being faced by the government. It also develops studies evaluating policies, programs and actions which link health with living, environmental and labor conditions. Moreover, it examines the municipal health management, identifying problems related to sector management, human resources, financing, surveillance actions, control of endemic diseases and the decentralization of health actions.
It also works with research and technological development in the areas of biostatistics, analysis of spatial and temporal data on health and geographic information systems applied to health. More recently, the center began to devote itself to studies related to indigenous health, to the phenomenon of violence in its various dimensions: road accidents, women, children, adolescents and elderly.
The researches, which generate scientific knowledge in order to improve the works of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil, are developed within the following research lines:

Sam Kean wrote a book about the periodic table of elements called The Disappearing Spoon. When the Chinese edition came out, he was surprised by the cover art, which included some element icons that were sexually suggestive and others that didn't make any sense whatsoever. Only a portion of the cover is shown here. He contacted the jacket designer, Bianco Tsai, who explained the thinking behind her choices for the illustration.
Read the reasons behind the element icons and see if they make sense to you, at Slate. Link -via Buzzfeed
In the end, Tsai said, "I have to built a bridge to connect our culture to your book!" I still think her cover looks sharp, and if Tsai says that it bridges my book to Chinese culture, I believe her. If so, though, it's a one-way bridge. Trying to decipher the cover still leads to an uncanny feeling for me. Something I'd labored over for years, and written and rewritten until I'd practically memorized it, had became alien. It's what those poor characters in neurologist Oliver Sacks' books must feel like when they suddenly have a stroke or something and can't recognize their own faces in the mirror. It was yet another reminder that although the periodic table is universal, people's reactions to it are anything but.

Gary Webb is dead.
He was the journalist who wrote a famous–or infamous–1996 series for the San Jose Mercury News that maintained a CIA-supported drug ring based in Los Angeles had triggered the crack epidemic of the 1980s. On Friday, the 49-year-old Webb, who won a Pulitzer Prize for other work, apparently shot himself. His "Dark Alliances" articles spurred outrage and controversy. Leaders of the African-American community demanded investigations. Mainstream newspapers–including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times–questioned his findings. And nearly a year after the pieces appeared, the Mercury News published a criticism of the series; Webb was demoted and soon left the newspaper. Two years later, he published a book based on the series.
Webb's tale is a sad one. He was on to something but botched part of how he handled it. He then was blasted and ostracized. He was wrong on some important details but he was, in a way, closer to the truth than many of his establishment media critics who neglected the story of the real CIA-contra-cocaine connection. In 1998, a CIA inspector general's report acknowledged that the CIA had indeed worked with suspected drugrunners while supporting the contras. A Senator named John Kerry had investigated these links years earlier, and the media had mostly ignored his findings. After Webb published his articles, the media spent more time crushing Webb than pursuing the full story. It is only because of Webb's work–as flawed as it was–that the CIA IG inquiry happened. So, then, it is only because of Webb that US citizens have confirmation from the CIA that it partnered up with suspected drug traffickers in the just-say-no years and that the Reagan Administration, consumed with a desire to overthrow the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, allied itself with drug thugs.
As the news of Webb's death circulated across the Internet, some of his fans took the opportunity to demand that I issue a posthumous apology to him. Why? Because I had been critical of his series and book. But my criticism was different from that of the mainstream press. I maintained he had overstated the case and had not proven his more cinematic allegations. But I also credited him for forcing the issue and prodding the CIA to come clean. No one at the Times (New York or Los Angeles) or the Post managed to do that. And though there were problems with Webb's work, it is a pity that he was so brutally hounded.
