The objective of this thesis was the design and analysis of broadband antennas to be used with sounders for trans-equatoria! propagation research. Sites have been identified in Oahu and Rarotonga. A four step process is used in the design of the antennas. The four steps are: theoretical design, preliminary analysis with ELNEC software, detailed analysis with NECA software and finally terrain modeling with PAINT, MN and TA software. Preliminary work led to the decision to use two antennas at each site. On Oahu a HF log-periodic antenna is used for the 2-25 MHz band and a VHF log-periodic antenna is used for the 25-60 MHz band. On Rarotonga a VHF log-periodic antenna is also used for the 25-60 MHz band, however a sloping V antenna is used for the 2-25 MHz band. Computer generated impedance values and radiation patterns are presented.

A few months ago, screenwriter and author W. Bruce Cameron and the canine star of his new movie, Shelby, spent a day in Kansas City. While the two were living it up at the Bar K, KC's celebrity dog hang-out, Bruce took a few minutes to talk with me about Shelby, his love of dogs, and his movie, A Dog's Way Home, now available on BluRay, DVD, and digital.
A real dog on a journey
A Dog's Way Home tells the story of Bella, a dog who makes a 400-mile journey to rejoin her human, Lucas. Along the way she touches the lives of many, including an orphaned mountain lion club and a homeless veteran.
LH; The journey is an important theme in your books and movies about dogs, and it's central to A Dog's Way Home. How is A Dog's Way Home different from those animal journey epics that have gone before, like The Incredible Journey or Homeward Bound?
WBC: Those books didn't capture what was going on in the mind of the dogs. The dog in A Dog's Way Home is a real dog. It can't talk to animals or people or understand what people are saying. She just wants to be with her human, Lucas.
The human-animal bond
Healing bonds
LH: The human/animal bond is another important theme for you. What sparked your interest in the healing bond between veterans and dogs?
WBC: This is a nascent science, and we are not really sure why wounds can be healed so much more quickly when you introduce a dog. I'm less interested in the theories and more interested in the results. There is a change in people when there is a dog in their life. It has always changed me when there is a dog in my life, in terms of changing my idea of what life is for. Dogs live every day with absolute joy and are not aware of the amount of time they will be around. We human beings should try to live our lives like dogs.
LH: We can only aspire to live our lives like our dogs. In an interview with Tracy Beckerman, you said "If I'm right, the only reason our species is still around is because of our relationship with the canines." Can you elaborate on that? I think the domestication of the dog is the most important human achievement. The domestication of the dog just says more good things about our species than virtually anything else we have managed to do.
WBC: At the point that it occurred, human beings were about to be pushed off the planet. We evolved, therefore, to have a do-dependence on these wonderful animals. It's one of the natural reasons we love dogs so much.
The impact of dogs on people
LH: We humans like to talk a lot about the way we have domesticated and shaped dogs. But the human brain can also be molded. What sort of an impact do you think that dogs have had on the human psyche over the millenia?
WBC: The initial interaction was undoubtely cooperative in hunting. Then we seized control of their destiny. They have always been interested in supporting us. This has been a long journey, but where we find ourselves today is with a new, and more complex appreciation for dogs. People are less likely to view a dog as a tool or a function of their daily lives. People have brought them into their lives. Dogs open up our soul and hearts
LH: In A dog's Way Home, Does Bella change the people in her life in significant ways?
WBC: There are so many things that Bella does that touch the lives of people. She helps one very disturbed Vietnam veteran transition out of this life. To a large extent she saves his soul. There are a couple more characters in the movie who don't have or want dogs but wind up with one because of Bella.
Writing about dogs
LH: We know so little about the ways dogs think and feel. I believe their way of processing the world through the senses and non-verbally must be richer in some ways than our own. Do you ever feel presumptuous in assigning human-like thoughts to your canine characters?
WBC: I am ok with being presumptuous. We humans think with symbols and words. We might assign words but a dog recognizes objects. As a writer, I have a big task. For humans, all the drama requires words. Understand that this is fiction, and I am trying to get into the incredible mind and senses of a dog in order to tell the story.
LH: Do you think there is a risk in giving dogs such a range of human thoughts and emotions? My concern is that it leads pet parents to make unrealistic assumptions about training and a dog's capacity for independent agency. I'm thinking particularly of the dog shaming movement.
WBC: People pull what they can and want to out of story about a dog who finds its way home. If they come away with the idea that dogs are thinking, sentient beings, then it's a success. I want them to come away caring more about dogs. What a wonderful gesture it is to rescue a dog!
LH: I think we can both agree on that!
Dogs and Movies
Before you go, I'd like to ask just a couple of fun questions. Has writing and making movies about dogs changed the way you interact with dogs? Does it change the way you interact with movies?
WBC: Definitely. Before I started writing dog books I had a sense of how dogs were. Then I started spending more time at the dog park. Writing changed my mind about what I thought I knew about dogs. Their structure is not as defined; it's very complex and fluid. I hope it's a change for anybody who reads A Dog's Purpose to start focusing more on their dogs.
I am married to a movie director, and I wouldn't want to watch movies the way she has to watch them. For me the exciting thing about a movie is still the story, and I think movies are magical. I enjoy the story.
LH: I would be remiss if I didn't ask you a question about Shelby. According to the KC Star, this is Shelby's first visit to KC. Does she seem to like it? Has she made any new friends here at the Bar K?
WBC: What Shelby likes about KC is that there seems to be a lot of squirrels.
LH: We have quite a few squirrels. How does KC stack up to other cities you have visited recently in terms of dog-friendliness?
WBC: I like that there seem to be few or no breed discriminatory laws. It's very dog friendly. Everybody stops working and comes over to talk to Shelby wherever we go.
A partnership for Veterans and Dogs
Sony Pictures Entertainment teamed up with the Humane Society of the United States to promote the film, which opened in theaters in January, 2019. Together, they created Operation Hero-Animal Bond, to connect veterans with shelter pets in their communities. This program covers adoption fees and provides an adoption kits with basic pet essentials for qualifying veterans across the US.
Author W. Bruce Cameron is a New York Times Bestselling writer, humorist, and screenwriter. His body of work includes beloved stories that celebrate dogs. A Dog's Purpose, A Dog's Way Home, and A Dog's Journey are among his most popular books. Both A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home are also major motion pictures.

By now most Catholics are aware of the mandate of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services requiring employers to provide health services such as contraception and sterilization, even if such services violate the employer's deepest moral principles.
The health care reform measure of the Obama administration also so narrowly defines a religious organization that the employer's right to opt out of the mandate based on conscience is nullified.
President Obama therefore has incited a battle with one very large employer who is resisting this federally mandated coercion: the Catholic Church.
Contraception and sterilization are counter to the plan of love and life that God revealed, a plan that the Church has consistently taught. But more fundamentally, she is being forced to support such practices through insurance coverage for the health benefits of her employees.
Since the Church will not violate its own teachings, she would be forced to cease offering current services to all people and provide them only to Catholics.
Catholics must not allow the administration to define what services the Church may provide, and for whom, thus forcing the Church to withdraw into the margins of American society.
Important initiatives for all Americans, Catholics included, are coming this month. A rally for religious freedom will be held at Independence Hall June 8 at noon. The nationwide "Fortnight for Freedom" borrows the British term for a two-week period — June 21 to July 4 — in which heavy pressure will be brought to bear on the administration and Congress by Catholics through prayer, education and action.
Look for a parish bulletin insert this month on the importance of protecting conscience, or read it along with many other resources at pacatholic.org.
Everyone can get involved in some way: pray for our country and its cherished tradition of religious freedom; learn about the HHS mandate and the vigorous responses to it (visit usccb.org); and write letters and emails, or call or visit elected officials about this issue. Rescinding the mandate or granting organizations a conscience objection, at the least, is the goal of the Fortnight for Freedom.
As Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik has said, "we did not pick this fight or this timing. This is the federal government's choice to impose this on us now."
And now is the time to oppose this power grab of the government into religious freedom.

The HHS Mandate is right out of Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World . Big Brother is determining which religious truth is to be permitted to be publicly excercised outside of Church or home. And, guess what, next the Federal and Secular Media Thought Police will go after Church and home itself, for "first they go after you and, then, they go after me". Read RJ Lifton's The Nazi Doctors to see how it's done.
I am going to political rallies this summer and fall with my plastic crucifix to hold up at applause lines. Even if it costs me, I believe in the ongoing power of the crucifix and what that symbol of my Savior, Jesus Christ, can do to bring good and conquer evil and the Culture of Death. I urge, as all the Danes wore yellow Stars of David, that all Catholics do the same, with both parties, and are joined with the raised up crossses of all other Christians, in their Solidarity against this re-erupting Tyranny.This is our hour for sacrifice and danger for Our Lord.If we don't take action now, it is only going to get harder.
Prayers for the success of this effort to defend religious freedom for all. Prayers for our bishops to stand strong in the face of intimidation and oppression. And prayers for our elected and unelected officials that they may restore the American tradition of religious freedom and tolerance.
If we really are going to stand up for religious liberty, contraceptive coverage is pretty low on the list of priorities. Nigerians Catholics are murdered at worship, Palestinian Catholics are driven from their homeland because of economic sanctions, Chinese bishops are thrown in jail. With so much very real religious oppression going on all over the world, having contraceptives as our banner issue makes us American Catholics look pretty shallow and self-absorbed.
These are straw men arguments. We don't live in Nigeria or China and have no influence on their problems except to pray for them or vote for people who are willing to use American influence to help them. Don't expect any help for Christians from Obama. . Our banner is not contraception. That is another straw man argument. The issue is religious liberty. We don't want the government telling the Church what to do in matters of religious doctrine. The first amendment says that congress shall pass no laws preventing the free exercise of relligion. People who work for the Church are free to use contraceptives but the Church should not have to pay for them.
I really think this is Dolan's issue. He lost the vote in Albany and now wants to gain some publicity. The reality is that contraceptives should be available for all Americans. I would assume that Castholics would simply not avail themselves of them. (On the other hand, 98% of Catholic women use contraceptives and I haven't heard a sermon on the subject in the last 45 years; it seems to me that it is a case of "use it or lose it" in regard to the Church's attempt to declare how its teaching on contraceptives is a vital part of its mission).

When I saw that this was the randomly chosen issue for this week, I laughed. This is one of the rare instances where I actually have read the issue, and while it is certainly far from the ordinary, this is what makes it memorable. It has a seemingly normal opening; the Surfer is being watched by a mysterious figure as he travels to Earth to meet with the Avengers. While there, he discusses with Captain America the story of the being called Thanos. We learn of his past goals of ultimate destruction, and how near he came to attaining it. Surfer explains that Thanos has returned once more, and is plotting again, and Captain America advises him to go to Titan to discover more information.
While starting on a somber tone, the issue quickly "lightens up" as Norrin, en route to Titan, discovers his mysterious watcher: the Impossible Man. This issue was my first introduction to the Impossible Man (I've since read his first appearance in FF), but I found impossible not to like this zany character. Much of the issue is simply him trying to get Norrin to appreciate a sense of humor. And while his attempts seem futile, Impossible Man finally gets Norrin to at the very least see the value of humor, even if he doesn't actually use it. (Or does he? The last two lines made me laugh the most.)
Of course, it helps that Ron Lim's art really fits the tone of the book. He is able to both capture the nobility of the Surfer, and the crazy antics of Impossible Man. Somehow, he manages to allow the overall look to be both serious and cartoony. While this issue was undoubtedly a filler at its time of publication, it managed to be something rare: a filler that was thoroughly entertaining in its own right. I definitely recommend reading this if you ever get the chance.

As an ending of a storyarc, this wasn't a bad issue to jump on at. Coming during Chris Claremont's legendary run, this story pits the X-Men against the incredibly powerful Proteus. Proteus, a mutant and son of Moira MacTaggert, is an energetic being with the ability to warp reality and the necessity to regularly change "host bodies," leaving the former host dead in the process. In this issue, he has captured his mother, and his current host is that of his father, and he has been chased by the X-Men to Edinburgh.
The beginning deals mostly with the X-Men fighting him, while he literally makes the city come alive and attack them. This causes the X-Men a dilemma, as they try to protect themselves, the civilians, and rescue Moira. John Byrne does a terrific job illustrating the many strange scenarios that Proteus causes, which makes up for much of the fight banter, most of which is a little dated or just plain cheesy.
The best part (both in terms of story and art) comes at the climax. The X-Men have driven Proteus to the outskirts of the city, and they finally attack him head on. After a being brutally attacked Cyclops, Havok, and Phoenix (which leaves all three weakened), he retreats to a castle where Colossus takes him on alone. As the exertion has caused the death of his host, Proteus is left in his true energy form, which has a weakness for metal. (I don't quite get this part, the story didn't explain it too well. I'm not sure if his weakness was better explained in an earlier issue, or if this was just bad storytelling.) Anyway, Peter is somehow able to scatter his molecules in his organic metal state.
So, aside from a slightly confusing ending, this wasn't too bad. I certainly wouldn't recommend going out of your way to find this story, but if you do find it, and you've got some time on your hands, you'll get a good deal of entertainment.

Ever since reading an adaptation of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells in elementary school, I've been a fan of apocalyptic future tales. There've been a lot of great ones, and a lot of, well, not-so-great ones, but this issue most definitely ranks with the former, and serves as some of the best Silver Age material that Stan Lee has to offer.
The story begins with Norrin, once again, lamenting his exile on Earth and missing Shalla-Bal (they do seem to enjoy using this a lot). He has an epiphany and realizes that if he travels far enough into the future, he may find a time when Galactus' barrier no longer exists. When he does so, he finds a devastating sight: Earth is completely barren. Saddened at the loss of his adopted home, he returns to his true home only to discover that Zenn-La has experienced a similar fate.
Eventually he learns that nearly all life in the universe has been obliterated by a being known as the Overlord. As the two meet, we get another philosophical tale from Stan Lee as he examines the importance of life. Eventually, the Silver Surfer is able to escape the Overlord and change time, but not before once again appreciating all the universe has to offer. I'm trying not to give too much of the story away, but suffice to say, this should definitely go on your list of old comics to look up.

If this issue serves as any evidence, it is not hard to see why John Byrne's run on Fantastic Four is considered legendary. In this standalone issue, "Hero," the Human Torch gets a stark contrast to Peter Parker's "The Boy Who Collected Spider-Man" tale. The beginning of the story focuses on a boy named Tommy who idolizes the Human Torch. At school this boy is bullied, and his parents seem to have little time for him at home. The only thing that he seems to live is to follow the adventures of Johnny Storm. When a neighbor leaves out a tank of experimental fuel and asks Tommy to put it away, he cautions him not to spill any because it could turn him into "a real Human Torch."
A few weeks later, Johnny is approached by a doctor who says that a dying boy would love to meet him in his final moments. As Johnny meets him, we learn that this boy is Tommy, and is suffering from third degree burns because he wanted to be "just like his hero." As Johnny tries to cope with a death that he believed he caused, he is visited by the Beyonder (this is a Secret Wars II tie-in after all), who shows him that all Tommy ever lived for was the Torch, and that the rest of his life was only sad and pathetic. According to the Beyonder, he did not die because of Johnny, he lived because of Johnny.
I do not know if I really agree with this statement. Is it better that he had a shorter life full of suffering, or would it have been right for him to continue on with a chance to improve his life? I cannot truly say if I enjoyed this issue, but I must say, it does introduce some interesting philosophical questions. If you're looking for a single story, not concerning traditional superheroics, but something that'll leave you thinking for quite a while afterwards, this is certainly one to look into.

Either I'm easy to please, or I've been really lucky the past couple weeks because this issue is yet another great read that was randomly picked. I mean, the cover should say it all: the Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer, AND Dr. Doom? How could this issue NOT be good? The story is the finale of a three-parter (I haven't read the first two parts, so I'm not too familiar with the entire story) as Doom has captured the FF (which includes Medusa as a current replacement for Sue) and is transferring a portion of the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic into his own Doomsman android.
First off, Rich Buckler needs to be awarded kudos for his very Kirby-esque pencil job. He also definitely gets tons of cool points for his last four pages being seemingly framed by fire (which makes sense when the master villain is revealed.) Of course, good art is always to be paired with a great story, and Roy Thomas delivers. Much of it is typical FF drama as the team tries to work their way through a series of dangers and traps that Doom has planted for them.
But the heart of the story comes with the seeming reunion of Norrin Radd and Shalla-Bal. Shalla-Bal seems to have lost her memory of the Surfer, until the two embrace, only to find tragedy. The reason she has lost her memory is because she never had it: she is only an Earth look alike, tricked into serving Doom to help capture the Surfer. As the Surfer is able to break free and help the FF defeat the Doomsman android and Doom himself, the Surfer leaves, sorrowing, and wondering if he shall ever see his Shalla-Bal again.
Here, Thomas pulls back the curtain and reveals that all of this was carefully constructed by Mephisto to further torture the Surfer. And the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it) part? There was no look-alike. The girl is indeed Shalla-Bal who has been implanted with false memories from Mephisto. Norrin will continue to attempt to escape Earth to find his true love, while she will be living here, unknown, while he does this.
As I said, I didn't actually read the first two parts, but I probably will. If this issue was any indication, this arc is a great piece from the early "Bronze Era" of Marvel Comics. It may be old, but if you ever get a chance to read these issues, I once again have a high recommendation. (I'm almost hoping next week's pick will be a bad or mediocre one, so I don't have to keep telling you guys to look up all these great old back issues! 😉 )

Picture this: a six-part Spider-Man saga, involving a Green-Goblin inspired villain, whose identity remains a mystery, a group of villains led by a mastermind, a close friend of Peter acting mysteriously, two rivals vying for one of the most powerful positions in NYC, throw in some troubles that Peter is having with a new publisher at the Bugle and add in the fact that Peter is currently not married to Mary Jane, and what do you get? Well, it's certainly not the current "New Ways to Die" storyline, if that's what you're thinking. No, this describes 1987's lesser known (unfortunately) "Gang War."
In this instance, the goblin villain is the original Hobgoblin, his identity was just as much a mystery as the original Green Goblin's was, and as much as the current Menace's is. (One of these days, they've gotta create a new Goblin and tell us who he or she is right off the bat.) The funny thing is, all three of the major contenders for this role (included who it actually turned out to be) appear in this issue, all acting suspiciously (namely, Ned Leeds, Flash Thompson, and Roderick Kingsley – and if you don't know who it turned out to be, you better do some research, because it is actually a fairly complicated story.)
As for the power fight, it is not a mayoral election, rather a war between gang-lords to fill the recently vacated seat of the Kingpin. While Hammerhead and Silvermane make a play for it, the two biggest contenders are the Arranger (who was left in charge by the Kingpin at his departure) and the Rose (whose identity remained a secret at this time, but when revealed, not only fit the story perfectly, but showed that he had as much a claim to the Kingpin's "throne" as the Arranger did).
The entire saga relayed the power struggles of the various groups, the resulting violence in NYC, and the reactions of Spider-Man and other heroes to this power-grab. I don't know if this was ever released in TPB (I doubt it), but despite not being legendary, it was an extremely great read. ASM 284 is the first part, and it runs through 289. If you ever get the chance to read these issues, I highly recommend it. I my eyes, this is one of the best "unremembered" Spider-Sagas.

In Flashback, LOTRKing reviews a random back issue (in many instances, one he hasn't read before) and attempts to make sense of both the story and its place in Marvel history.
This is by far the best issue I have yet reviewed for Flashback. I'd like to say it is likely because it is a Fantastic Four issue, but very little of the story actually has to do with the FF. Instead, we are introduced to "The Man with the Power," as the cover references him. Skip Collins is middle-aged man, living a very average life, in a typical mid-size town. What he doesn't realize is that he has the power to change things just by willing them so. As we are introduced to the many "un-unique" facets of his life, we learn much about the character in a few short pages.
When his boss breaks Skip's ordinary routine by sending him to NYC for a business meeting, he does some touring and eventually sees Reed and Sue in a crowd. As he trails them hoping for an autograph, he sees them rescue a girl from a condemned building, before all of NYC is hit with a major earthquake. In the face of this massive destruction, we see the reactions of all the characters (namely, the Four and Skip, who never actually meet).
As Reed comes to realize that the quake was global, and caused by something in outer space, he takes the Four off-Earth to investigate. Meanwhile, Skip, distraught over what has occurred, states "it never should have happened!" At this remark, the world-wide destruction rights itself, and all memory of the incident is lost. (Except for the FF, who are not on Earth and not affected.) As Skip slips back into his ordinary life, the FF discover the true source of the attack: Ego, the Living Planet! This brief outline may make the plot seem slightly cheesy, but a read through will show anything but. There is a reason that John Byrne's run on FF was legendary, and this issue definitely serves as evidence.
I recently purchased the anthology Who Can Save Us Now? (as suggested on a blog I read), and being over half way through the book, I confess myself rather disappointed. Most of the stories are either just plain weird, or focus too much on matters I would rather have left out. This one issue and the story of Skip Collins are better than every story in that book I have read put together. If you ever come across this issue, I'd highly encourage reading it (along with 235, the cliffhanger is too good to leave part two untouched, not to mention 235 was an extremely enjoyable issue, even without the continuing story of Skip).

In Flashback, LOTRKing reviews a random back issue (in most instances, one he hasn't read before) and attempts to make sense of both the story and its place in Marvel history.
Ah, the 80s: decade of horrendous hairdos, but also the decade of many legendary comic book writers such as Chris Claremont. Of course, legendary writers cannot be perfect all the time (check out Brubaker's current take on X-Men for proof), and this issue is Claremont when he is "less-than-perfect." Perhaps I would have enjoyed the story more if I had a better understanding of X-Men continuity at this point, but unfortunately I don't.
As the issue opens, Psylocke is on the run from fellow mutants Dazzler, Longshot, and Rogue (is it just me, or does she look like she is wearing a skunk on her head?) At first, I had no idea what was going on; eventually, Claremont clues us in on the fact that they are simply engaging in a practice fight. When Banshee comes in to break it all up, he essentially tells them they all suck, and we are treated to a long sequence of Dazzler brooding and whining. (Yeah, that was lots of fun.)
Eventually, she randomly runs into the Juggernaut in Scotland, and he happens to be a fan of her work. (That must have been odd.) Juggernaut just wants to continue going wherever he was off to, but Dazzler is certain that he is up to no good. Juggernaut doesn't want to harm her, and just wants to leave, but she continuously attacks him until she has used all of her energy and falls to the ground unconscious. Of course, Juggernaut thinks she is dead, but it was obviously just a cliffhanger, she's probably revived next issue (though I'm too lazy to check.)
Add in the fact that the only thing that wasn't bland about Jackson Guice's art was the hair of various characters, and you have an extremely forgettable issue. I see absolutely no reason to go looking for this, unless there was some crucial piece of X-Men continuity that I missed (y'never know, maybe I sneezed and skipped an important panel). Hopefully we'll get something much more interesting next week, and speaking of…

In Flashback, LOTRKing reviews a random back issue (in most instances, one he hasn't read before) and attempts to make sense of both the story and its place in Marvel history.
Since starting Flashback, I've been looking forward to the time when my random number generator would pick an issue from this decade. Not only did it pick out a rather entertaining one, Avengers 471 (aka Volume 3 #56) just happens to be a one-shot and the end of an almost five year run. This was Kurt Busiek's final issue and he uses it to tell a flashback story with an amusing situation. Auditors from the Maria Stark Foundation (which funds the Avengers) have come to examine a particular Avengers mission to see if the expenditures of the foundation do indeed qualify for tax exemptions, as they say they do. What follows is a piece by piece story as several of the members tell the tale of their mission and the part they played.
In the flashback, the Avengers had to travel to St. Louis to combat the recently recreated "Elements of Doom." While the issue made it seem as though these were not new characters, it was certainly the first time that I had heard of them. The idea behind them is that a scientist had discovered a way to bring each of the elements to life and do the bidding of their creator. A bit of eye-brow-raising science, to be sure, but then again, quirky science has always been a staple of comics.
While this was surely meant to be a funny look at what "normal people" like accountants have to deal with in the wake of super hero's actions, it also surprisingly played a strong case for why the S.H.R.A. (or something like it) would simplify these matters (at least, if you read between the lines). If the Avengers were simply run by the government, these sorts of things wouldn't be necessary since the Avengers would be government funded. True, the government would still perform audits to ensure that no money was spent needlessly, but at least the team would never have to worry about losing their funding, because the country will always need superhero teams.
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable Avenger stand-alone issue. It may not have done anything ground breaking, but it provided for a great read. If you ever come across this in a back issue bin, don't hesitate to pick it up.

I'm going to try to not make today's review short, but it'll be hard, seeing as how there is not much to say about Amazing Spider-Man 222. It feels a lot like (and probably was) just a filler issue. It opens with Spider-Man stopping a mink fur heist by a normal band of burglars. From here it moves to introducing Speed Demon (his first appearance under that name, but before he was called "The Whizzer." Yeah, the name change was a very good thing.) He is just another "Flash" rip-off, only this time a villain. (Seriously, how many supertypes that can only run really fast can there be? That has got to be one of the most generic superpowers.)
Anyway, Speed Demon burgles a camera store and Spider-Man, whose heightened reflexes are still too slow, is unable to stop him. Later, when he tries to rob Bloomingdales, Spider-Man is more prepared and after an extended fight scene, is able to capture him. Add in a scene or two at the Daily Bugle with JJJ, and this was really a very generic story all around.
I would have neutral feelings about this issue if not for one thing: the humor. I realize that pun-filled quips whilst fighting are simply part of Spider-Man's persona, and when done right, they can provide for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable issue. This was certainly not the case here. While I am a sucker for pun jokes, the puns here were all bad. They even went so far as to use the overly-clichéd "Have a nice trip, see you in the fall." *Groan* I think my nephew can come up with better puns than what were used here. Amazing Spider-Man 222 is completely unremarkable and unimportant, and there is absolutely no reason to seek it out.

The most radical and divisive composer of the twentieth century, Arnold Schoenberg remains a hero to many, and a villain to many others. Born in the Jewish quarter of his beloved Vienna, Schoenberg's early career took him to Berlin, as a leading light of Weimar culture, before he fled in the dead of night from Hitler's Third Reich. He found himself in the United States, settling in Los Angeles, where he would inspire composers from George Gershwin to John Cage. Schoenberg's revolutionary approach to musical composition incorporated Wagnerian late Romanticism and the brave new worlds of atonality and serialism, and it changed the history of music forever.
In this refreshingly balanced biography, Mark Berry tells the story of Schoenberg's life and work within the wider context of nineteenth- and twentieth-century history. He also introduces all of Schoenberg's major musical works, from his very first compositions such as String Quartet in D Major to his invention of the 12-tone method. This book is essential reading for all those with an interest in the music and history of the twentieth century.
'Berry's perspective on the controversy (still) surrounding the composer is clear-eyed, empathetic, and pleasingly free of polemics of its own . . . Berry's survey of the individual works is comprehensive and exemplary.' — BBC Music Magazine
'It's a book that needed to be written and, informed equally by knowledge and passion, it makes required reading for curious sceptics and devotees alike . . . Berry wields the sword not with music examples or in-depth analysis but with a full understanding of Schoenberg . . . The history told here of Schoenberg's American years is full of vivid anecdote bearing witness to a monstrous ego, a bad sport and a terrible grudge-holder.' — Gramophone
'The thrust of this book is distinctly partisan. Mark Berry is a Schoenberg champion. He describes him as not only the most controversial of all 20th-century composers but also the most important — the true founding father of heroic modernism.' — Catholic Herald
'Mark Berry's gentle and confident account is the best explanation yet of how the lush Wagner-inspired composer turned into a supposedly ornery modernist inventor. It is a convincing, concise tale of what was in fact brave integrity and powerful creativity in the face of cloth-eared prejudice and dangerous anti-Semitism that changed the conversation about the future of music.' — John Deathridge, Emeritus King Edward Professor of Music, King's College London
'A superb piece of writing: informative, engaging and compact. It wears its considerable research with a winning lightness of touch. The best introduction to the composer.' — Thomas Hyde, composer and Lecturer in Music at Worcester College, Oxford
Mark Berry is Reader in Music History at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is the author of Treacherous Bonds and Laughing Fire: Politics and Religion in Wagner's 'Ring' (2016) and After Wagner: Histories of Modernist Music Drama from 'Parsifal' to Nono (2014). He also regularly reviews concert and opera performances for his popular blog, Boulezian.

While coffee is wonderful for many reasons, it is actually the caffeine it contains that provides the added health benefits as a scrub. When coffee is applied to the surface of your skin, it helps redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite.

Anti-Cellulite Coffee Scrub Features
When this scrub is applied, the caffeine and antioxidants work to tighten and energize skin while also promoting circulation. This gives it the ability to smooth out skin and reduce cellulite and varicose veins..

The main chemical in coffee is caffeine, a natural antioxidant. Antioxidants have many benefits, including heart disease- and cancer-fighting properties. Antioxidants also neutralize the effects of free radicals, which can damage the inner layer of skin. This damage is often reflected in age spots and wrinkles. When a coffee body scrub is applied, the skin absorbs this antioxidant and can help prevent premature aging.
Because coffee scrubs are made with coarse grounds and salt or sugar, they act as exfoliates for the skin. Regular exfoliation of the skin removes residual dirt and dead skin to give you younger looking, fresh skin. After the skin is exfoliated, it is able to absorb moisture more effectively as well. All beauty regimens should include exfoliation treatments, and the coffee scrub provides it.
Blood Flow
Some people use coffee body scrubs to combat the occurrence of varicose veins. The caffeine found in coffee scrubs typically increases blood flow and may reduce the appearance of cellulite. Even the action of applying the coffee scrub can help with these types of skin issues because squeezing and massaging the body helps to release toxins and fats held in the skin.

A little more than eight years after its creation, Sangamon County's Sangamo Scripts prescription-drug program continues to save people money at the pharmacy.
A little more than eight years after its creation, Sangamon County's Sangamo Scripts prescription-drug program continues to save people money at the pharmacy.
Jim Stone, executive director of the Sangamon County Department of Public Health, says more than 5,500 families have signed up for the program since it began in October 2002. The program is estimated to have saved people about $750,000 in prescription costs.
"The program is not meant to replace other insurance plans," Stone said. "The Sangamo Scripts card is another tool people can carry in their billfold to help them get the best price."
23 percent savings
Sangamo Scripts is open to any county resident over the age of 18 who is not receiving public aid. Children under 18 can be covered through a parent or guardian. There is no charge to enroll or annual fees, and participants are issued a card after submitting applications to the county health department.
The more than 5,500 families who have signed up for the card represent about 10,000 people.
On average, people using the card save about 23 percent on their prescription-drug costs, according to the county.
The program was originally administered by AdvancePCS. In 2004, AdvancePCS merged with Caremark Rx. Caremark now issues the cards and handles any questions people might have.
Initial startup costs for printing and promotion was about $25,000, and since then, the county has spent an additional $5,000 promotional expenses.
Other counties, too
Sangamon County Board member John Fulgenzi said he knows a couple of people who don't have any insurance, and Sangamo Scripts saves them about $15 a month.
"That's not a large amount of money, but anything that can be saved is good," Fulgenzi said.
People interested in joining Sangamo Scripts can pick up an application at a participating pharmacy or the county health department.
In 2008, the program was extended to Logan, Christian, Morgan and Cass counties.

Reasons to take out a £25,000 to £50,000 loan
There are many reasons why people choose to take out £25,000 to £50,000 loans. Some people apply for 25K loans because they're large enough to be used for major home restructuring projects. A new conservatory, a single-storey extension or converting an attic into a contemporary loft space, for example, are often within this budget. A 50K loan meanwhile, or something in between, might be used to make multiple large-scale home improvements. Alternatively, entrepreneurial types sometimes take out loans of these values to either start new companies where initial capital is required, or to invest in existing enterprises.
Some borrowers take out loans of £25,000 to £50,000 in order to reduce outgoings on other debt. Consolidating a number of loans, credit card debt or other outstanding amounts can be significantly cheaper than servicing multiple payments each month. Bringing a number of debts together can help you gain greater control over your personal finances and put more cash in your pocket on a monthly basis. Ultimately, it can also be the cheaper option in the long term.

1998 Mercy Graduate Gives Back in a Special Way
One thing we consistently see with many of our graduates is their faithfulness to give back to Mercy and invest in our current residents. Recently, 1998 Mercy graduate and birth mom Bronwyn Williams paid a special visit to Mercy's Nashville home. Accompanied by her husband Bill, their son Jake, and daughter Kenner, the family provided a catered lunch for our Nashville residents.
While in the home Bronwyn took time to bless and encourage each resident by sharing her own personal testimony and participating in a Q & A session. Residents had the opportunity to ask Bronwyn personal questions about her journey and life after Mercy. Bronwyn shared how Mercy helped her overcome obstacles in her life and now she is a successful business owner, wife, and mother.
Bronwyn came to Mercy pregnant and was given the choice to parent or place her child for adoption. After choosing to place through Mercy's Licensed Adoption Agency, Mercy worked with her to find a loving home for her child.
While in the program Bronwyn became friends with Venice Gilmore who is a Mercy graduate and a current staff member (pictured). Bronwyn and Venice were happy to reconnect in the Mercy home they both graduated from. Venice was in Bronwyn's wedding and they have remained very close over the years.
Mercy is grateful for graduates like Bronwyn who continue to give back to Mercy many years after they have graduated from the program!

Owen Franks Suspended For Two Weeks
The SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Robert Stelzner SC has accepted a guilty plea from Owen Franks of the Crusaders for contravening Law 10.4 (a) Punching or striking, after he was cited following a Super Rugby match at the weekend. Franks has been suspended from all forms of the game for two weeks up to and including 8 March 2015. The incident occurred in the 10th minute of the match between the Highlanders and Crusaders played at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin on 21 February 2015.
SANZAR Duty Judicial Officer Robert Stelzner SC assessed the case. In his finding, Stelzner ruled the following: 'As the Duty Judicial Officer, I considered all of the evidence before me including the video footage, Citing Commissioner's report and the submissions of Mr Aaron Lloyd made on behalf of the player. After taking all relevant facts of the incident into consideration, I found the incident to have a lower end entry point for breaches of 10.4 (a) Punching or striking which stipulates a two week suspension. The player submitted that he was attempting to remove the Highlanders player from the wrong side of maul. His intention was to remove the player, who was quite bigger than him, by grabbing him around the chest which would require some force, then using his bodyweight to attempt to force his opponent down and away from the ball. The player conceded that in these attempts, he struck his opponent with his arm in a careless way, but there was no malice intended. I concluded that while the offending was not intentional, the player's actions were reckless in his attempts to remove the opponent from the maul. Aggravating factors involved were that there were two instances of a strike, with the second being the more reckless than the first along with the opponent being in a somewhat vulnerable position with some risk of injury. I added one week to the suspension as a result of these factors. This was then reduced by one week due to mitigating factors including the player's admission of culpability and making concessions where required for his actions, the player has had an extensive career at Super Rugby and Test level with no suspensions to his name. After taking all these factors into consideration, I found that a suspension of two weeks was warranted which was accepted by the player. The player's playing schedule is such that the Crusaders have a match against the Chiefs on 28 February followed by a bye in which the Crusaders Knights have a match in which the player was scheduled to play. I asked for direct evidence from the Head Coach as to the history of Crusaders players being used in the Knights matches and whether other players would also be scheduled to play. The Crusaders Knights program is used by the Crusaders to give players additional games during bye weeks and I received confirmation that a number of other players, including other All Blacks, were going to be used in the Knights game which has been scheduled since January. I accepted this match to be included in the suspension period to make a meaningful sanction for the player. Accordingly, the player is suspended for two weeks up to and including 8 March 2015.'
All SANZAR disciplinary matters are in the first instance referred to a Duty Judicial Officer hearing to provide the option of expediting the judicial process. For a matter to be dispensed with at this hearing, the person appearing must plead guilty and accept the penalty offered by the DJO.

Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize
Here at Honey & Wax, we take a particular interest in the evolving role of women in the rare book trade, on both the buying and selling sides. The great American book collector Mary Hyde Eccles, the first woman elected to the Grolier Club, noted that a collector must have three things: resources, education, and freedom. Historically, she observed, "only a few women have had all three, but times are changing!"
We embrace that change. In the interest of encouraging the next generation, we are delighted to award the Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize, an annual prize of $1000 for an outstanding book collection conceived and built by a young woman.
The contest is open to women book collectors in the United States, aged 30 or younger. Contestants do not need to be enrolled in a degree program, nor do they require a sponsor.
The winning collection must have been started by the contestant, and all items in the collection must be owned by her. A collection may include books, manuscripts, and ephemera; it may be organized by theme, author, illustrator, printing technique, binding style, or another clearly articulated principle. Collections will not be judged on their size or their market value, but on their originality and their success in illuminating their chosen subjects. The prize rewards creativity, coherence, and bibliographic rigor.
We encourage applicants to review the collections of our past winners, featured below, to get a sense of the focus and depth we hope to see. The deadline for this year's prize is June 1, 2019.
Many thanks to our 2019 prize sponsors — Biblio, The Rosenbach, and Swann Galleries — for helping us to get the word out!
2018 Winners of the Honey & Wax Prize:
We're delighted to announce the $1000 winner of the 2018 Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize:
To Jessica Jordan, 27, a former bookseller and current graduate student in English at Stanford, for her collection of books designed by prolific American illustrators Leo and Diane Dillon. The Dillons' experience as interracial partners (in life and work) informed their approach to graphic design over five decades: "we decided early in our career that we wanted to represent all races and show people that were rarely seen." Famously versatile and productive, the Dillons collaborated on an untold number of commercial book projects, from pulp science fiction (winning the Hugo Award for Best Artist) to children's stories (winning the Caldecott Medal, twice) to iconic paperback editions of James Baldwin, Madeleine L'Engle, Chinua Achebe, and Isabel Allende. Jordan notes that "the Dillons' work is unsigned on many of their early book covers – meaning that the burden of identification is left solely to my own abilities . . . as I have grown my collection, I have also been training my eye to see what others don't, and nothing else puts a spring in a book collector's step quite like that feeling."
We admired the depth of Jordan's collection, and the sense of discovery that animates it, especially as it relates to previously uncredited Dillon titles, and to the afterlife of the Dillons' imagery in the Black Power movement. Click here to read Jordan's winning application.
We are also awarding four honorable mentions of $250:
To Margaret Landis, 27, a research scientist with the Planetary Science Institute, stationed in Albuquerque, NM, for her collection of books by and about pioneering women in science, technology, engineering, and math. While the history of women in STEM is a newly popular genre in the wake of the 2016 film Hidden Figures, Landis "started looking back in publishing history to see if similar eras of popularity of women-in-science biographies had occurred." That search drew her back to the early twentieth century, when Eve Curie's 1937 biography of Marie Curie won the National Book Award, and Rebecca Joslin's 1929 Chasing Eclipses showcased an amateur astronomer's travels.
We admired Landis's creation of a working library for students historically underrepresented in STEM fields, revealing that "people like them have been contributing since the beginning." We were also impressed by the way that Landis refined her focus in the year since her first submission to the Honey & Wax Prize in 2017.
To Miranda Marraccini, 28, a graduate student in English at Princeton, for her collection devoted to English comic novelist Barbara Pym (1913-1980), including not only copies of Pym's own books, but the works of dozens of writers that Pym quotes in her fiction, ideally in the midcentury British editions Pym herself would have read: "For Pym, books offer a kind of shorthand for character: often, she lists the titles on a character's bedside table, or has a protagonist repeat the same quotation at different points in the novel . . . in her novels, we are what we read."
We appreciated the originality of Marraccini's intertextual approach to a single author, reflected in her bibliography annotated with Pym's allusions, a lively portrait of the literary tradition that shaped a particular kind of English wit.
To Michelle Porter, 30, a library technician in Rapid City, SD, for her collection of first edition libretti from the Golden Age of the American musical, 1930-1970. Porter's focus is on the cultural history captured at the moment of performance: "Broadway, at that time, could be more risqué than Hollywood because the entertainment was limited to a fixed geographic location rather than being simultaneously screened nationwide. Whether subversive scripts indirectly mocked the status quo or waged outright war, reading them today gives a true impression of the mores of those times better than any sociology intensive."
We admired Porter's attention to these libretti as historical documents, and her account of how her project spurred her to develop the scouting and negotiating skills of a seasoned book collector.
To Marielle Stockton, 20, a college student in Everett, WA, for her collection of the writings of Ella Rhoads Higginson (1862-1940), a bestselling early chronicler of the Pacific Northwest. Focusing on "Higginson's unusual position as a prolific female author in a sparsely-populated corner of the country," Stockton collects Higginson's now out-of-print books, as well as postcards and sheet music featuring her work, and books by her contemporaries and influences. "The collection currently paints a picture of the Pacific Northwest that Higginson lived in and wrote about, as well as the literary culture she was writing to and within."
We enjoyed following Stockton's energetic online pursuit of overlooked Higginson ephemera and signed material, inspired by an ongoing recovery project at Western Washington University.
2017 Winners of the Honey & Wax Prize:
We're delighted to announce the $1000 winner of the 2017 Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize:
To Jessica Kahan, 29, a public librarian in Ohio, for her collection "Romance Novels of the Jazz Age and Depression Eras." Kahan has collected some three hundred popular American romance novels of the 1920s and 1930s, all in their sensational original dust jackets, with an eye to creating a bibliography of fiction often dismissed as frivolous. Aiming "to capture women's experiences through the lens of romance novels in the decades between women's suffrage and World War Two," Kahan plays particular attention to the rise of the modern career woman as an archetype, and to the way that historical events (the radio age, Prohibition, the Olympics) are reflected in the genre. Highlights of the collection are featured on Kahan's blog, thegoodbadbook, and her complete prize application is available for reference here.
We loved this collection's breadth and depth. Kahan's refusal to condescend to her subject helps us see how a genre famous for its rigid conventions bends to reflect the changing lives of American women.
We are also awarding five honorable mentions of $200:
To Nora Benedict, 29, a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton, for her collection "The Rise of Modernist Publishing in Buenos Aires." Benedict began by collecting the works of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, then expanded her scope to include the independent Buenos Aires publishing houses that employed Borges, including Editorial Losada, which published his translation of Kafka, and Victoria Ocampo's Editorial Sur, which published his translation of Woolf. Benedict is currently assembling a complete run of Editorial Sur publications.
We admired Benedict's turn from a single-author collection to one with historical research value, as she tracked down obscure Argentine publisher's catalogs and reconstructed the print history of Borges's circle.
To Caitlin Downey, 22, a senior at Edgewood College in Wisconsin, for her collection "Documenting the Geisha of Kyoto, 1970-2000." Downey has collected almost 150 original theater programs from the odori, the yearly public dance performances staged by the geisha of Kyoto, as well as books on the subject. Her collection, pursued online and shared with a virtual community of geisha fans, participates in a collective historical project, in which fans share primary sources to reconstruct a landscape of now lost okiya (geisha lodging-houses) and teahouses.
We were struck by Downey's disciplined pursuit of material researched and purchased almost entirely online, a model of collecting unknown a generation ago, and by her focus on printed ephemera, a strong trend among young collectors.
To Sherese Francis, 27, owner of J. Expressions Pop-up Bookshop and Mobile Library, for her collection "J. Expressions: Work from the Literary Community of Southeast Queens." Mindful of the redevelopment proposed for her Queens neighborhood, Francis collects books by local writers, most of color, many of whom are self-published or published by independent presses, in an effort "to highlight and preserve some aspect of the communities that already exist here or existed here before." Her collection includes chapbooks, zines, artists' books, memoirs, novels, and poetry, all by writers from Queens, and shared with the community at local literary events.
We admired Francis's commitment to preserving the books being produced in her immediate time and place. Her focused "archive of the now" provides a local model of collecting we'd like to see practiced all over the country.
To Samantha Montano, 27, an expert in emergency management, for her collection "Safeguarding the History of Disasters." As a professional "disasterologist," Montano collects first-hand accounts of disasters – fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions – from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, accounts that predate the academic discipline of emergency management. She aims to preserve an increasingly relevant piece of the historical record in a time of rapid climate change: "We do not want the stories of how people have survived disasters to be a secret. We want that information to be shared."
We appreciated the originality and urgency of Montano's project, which brings together a group of largely forgotten primary sources. The was one of a number of collections which tackled environmental and ecological questions.
To Ashley Rose Young, 29, a doctoral candidate in history at Duke, for her collection "Nourishing Networks: Provisioning New Orleans in the Atlantic World." Young began by collecting historic Creole cookbooks, then expanded her focus to the food markets of the port of New Orleans, a local economy historically dominated by African-Americans and immigrants. Her turn to the marketplace inspired Young to collect novels, travel narratives, and printed ephemera, and to launch a new digital project, Sound Bytes: Historic Street Food Cries of New Orleans.
We enjoyed the unfolding narrative of this collection, as Young's original interest in regional cookbooks laid the foundation for a more wide-ranging exploration of the cultural and culinary politics of New Orleans.
Each of the winning collectors demonstrated an awareness of their books as artifacts, worthy of careful description and preservation, and a strong independent sense of purpose. Their collections reflect the "creativity, coherence, and bibliographic rigor" we hoped to reward with this prize.

Korpiklaani at El Corazon
with Arkona, Actionesse on 11/13/2018
Korpiklaani is a folk metal band from Finland who were formerly known as Shaman. The name Korpiklaani means "Backwoods Clan" in the Finnish language. In spoken language "korpi" means dark old forest. In biology it refers to boreal forest appearing on moist moraine soils, characterized by dense growth of spruce and a deep layer of moss as undergrowth. While other folk metal bands began with metal before adding folk music, Korpiklaani started with folk music before turning metal. Read more on Last.fm

- Aim to consume 3 portions of oily fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines, herring anchovies) per week. They contain omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA which may help to regulate the immune system. Pumpkin, chia and flax seeds are a good vegetarian alternative and green leafy veg offer some omega 3 fats.
- Snack on 1 portion of nuts (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and Brazil nuts) or seeds (Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, flax seed) per day. They contain antioxidant vitamins and minerals including vitamin A and E, selenium and zinc, which play a key role in regulating the immune system.
- Eat a rainbow. Aim for 5-10 portions of highly coloured fruit and vegetables per day. They contain antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and phytonutrients which may help to support the immune system. Examples include: dark green leafy vegetables, carrots, sweet potato, berries, and beetroot.
- Herbs and spices, particularly ginger, garlic, green tea and turmeric, are natures immune boosting medicines! They contain phytochemicals which have a strong regulatory impact on the immune system and have anti-microbial, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Enjoy daily doses of probiotics, which are incredibly potent immune regulators. You can take a probiotic supplement but good quality food form probiotics often contain more varied strains of bacteria. They can be found in live yoghurt and unpasteurised fermented foods such as tamari, tofu, miso, tempeh, sauerkraut and kimchi, unpasteurised cheese, kombucha and kefir.
- Indulge in a small glass of red wine (in moderation!). It contains high levels of resveratrol, an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant phytonutrient.
- Experiment with culinary mushrooms. The list of medicinal and health benefits mushrooms provide is lengthy (think: brain booster, hormone helper, antioxidant powerhouse). But most research focuses on their immune boosting properties. However, each mushroom is unique and provides its own distinct health advantages so it's great to experiment with different types. Try reishi, shitake, chaga and even the good old chestnut mushroom.
- Enjoy some calming exercise: Swimming, yoga, brisk walking, Tai Chi. These forms are probably the best for immune support, strenuous exercise can actually supress the immune system.
- Sleep and relaxation! Rest and relaxation are essential for immune support. Between 7- 9 hours per night of sleep is recommended. Stress management techniques. Low psychological states such stress, anxiety, depression and grief can supress the immune system. Learning how to cope with stress through mediation, counselling or visualisation is important for long-term immune support.
- Get out in the sun. Mounting research confirms that sun avoidance may be at the heart of a large number of health problems. Not only does your body produce vitamin D in response to sun exposure on bare skin, but sunlight also produces a number of other health benefits that are unrelated to vitamin D production. That's the best excuse for a winter holiday I've ever heard!
10 Top Tips for Boosting Your Immune System by Suzanne Laurie, IHS Director
The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. It is a highly evolved series of defences designed to protect us against many of the diseases and regular assaults such as invading organisms, toxins and mutated cells (cancer cells). It is an incredibly complex body system and must constantly be on the look-out for invaders. It also needs a vast array of nutrients and a hefty dose of TLC, to work efficiently and effectively so here are our top tips for supporting your immune system through the cold and flu season.

The New Resource Guidelines Sneak Peek
Presenters: Honorable Patricia Escher (Ret.); Honorable Stephen Rubin (Ret.), Pima County Juvenile Court Administrator
The Resource Guidelines were the ground-breaking publication on judicial practice in child welfare cases when they were published in 1995. Since 1995, new laws have been passed, new practices have been developed, and a new lens supporting children and families, especially those of color has evolved in the child welfare system. The Resource Guidelines enhancement process has revised the publication through a race equity lens, and will be published in 2013. Join us for a sneak peek to learn about what has been done so far and what is planned!

Dealing with breaches of covenant
A landlord must serve this notice on a tenant who has breached the terms of their lease before he can take action to forfeit (get back) the lease.
Create your Notice of breach of covenantsAnswer a few questions. We'll take care of the rest
How do I deal with breaches of covenant?
A landlord will deal with breaches of covenant by serving what is know as a section 146 notice on his tenant.
This notice warns the tenant that they are in breach of the terms of the lease. It cannot be used if the tenant has not paid the rent.
It tells the tenant that it is your intention to forfeit the lease and gives the tenant time to fix the breach.
If the lease is a long residential lease Ask a lawyer for specific advice as your tenant may have additional rights.
When do I get the property back?
After the notice is sent, the tenant is given reasonable time to put things right- how long you give them depends on the breach but it must be reasonable.
If the tenant does not remedy the breach within the specified time, you can then start court proceedings to forfeit the lease and get possession of your property.
Can I claim compensation for the breach?
As a landlord you can claim compensation and recover the cost of preparing and delivering this notice from the tenant- this is included in the notice.
