I'm late to work.
I slept late last night. I got up late this morning. And I'm late to work now.
I woke up to my second alarm, which is just 20 minutes later than my first. And yet I know it is going to ruin my day. Probably.
While making breakfast, I listen to songs instead of the podcast I am supposed to. While eating breakfast, I watch an episode of The Office. And then one more. Continue reading "Two Paces Behind"
I love visiting the Bookstore. Some people like shopping, some like to fish. Me? I love visiting the bookstore. Everytime I'm out with friends or family, window shopping at a mall, I invariably find myself wandering away from them, roaming in search of a vendor of books.

Here are some pictures from early this morning – what better way to start the day than with some Irish coffee from Johnny White's
The Quarter was all decked out in purple green and gold finery
Despite the fact that the Quarters were shrouded in fog and mist…
…revelers were fueling up and getting their groove on for the day
And the time had come to get the party started!
I can't imagine living my life without the ability to have some fun on Mardi Gras day – the party helps us remember not to take life so seriously.
Hope everyone had a fabulous time – until next year, or the next big event!

I previously posted on why Hash Aggregate is to be avoided if possible. Unfortunately Hash Aggregate vs. Stream Aggregate appears to be an 'all or nothing' proposal. And that sucks.
A Stream Aggregate can be relatively cheap (in terms of memory pressure) because it can leverage the ordering (typically clustered index ordering) of the input data and aggregate on-the-fly. By contrast the Hash aggregate has to cope with completely disordered data streams, so must buffer all the output aggregates in memory until the input data has been entirely read:
"The other aggregation operator, hash aggregate, is similar to hash join. It does not require (or preserve) sort order, requires memory, and is blocking (i.e., it does not produce any results until it has consumed its entire input). Hash aggregate excels at efficiently aggregating very large data sets."
[Craig Freedman - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/craigfr/archive/2006/09/20/hash-aggregate.aspx ]
This is a good strategy because:
- It copes with totally unordered data
- Provided you are aggregating to a significantly higher grain than the source data, the volume of aggregates in the hash (and hence memory consumption) can be relatively small.
In my case, of course, the latter isn't true: I'm aggregating across a significant amount of data, but not aggregating very much, so I am experiencing vast quantities of tempdb spill.
My input data is partially aligned to the aggregation (the most significant column is sorted correctly), so you'd expect that the aggregation would be able to leverage that smartly, to output aggregates when they were clearly 'done'. So, for example, if you had a clustered index on Month/Day/Category, and you were doing sum(something) GROUP BY Month, Category, you and I both know that after you've finished spooling data for any given month, you can output all those buckets, rather than hang on to them waiting for more. Unfortunately this doesn't happen, which means given enough data, something will spill to disk:
"if we run out of memory, we must begin spilling rows to tempdb. We spill one or more buckets or partitions including any partially aggregated results along with any additional new rows that hash to the spilled buckets or partitions"
[Craig's blog again, same link as before]
One can only hope it's the older buckets that get spilt first, but even so, when this happens you are taking the IO hit of streaming all that aggregate data to disk and then subsequently loading it all back in again. Ouch. Or you force the stream aggregate (using a hint) and take the pain of the sort. More ouch.
For many workloads this probably isn't much of an issue, but for my data warehouse this is starting to look like a major, major bottleneck.

William Wilbeforce made his first abolish-the-slave-trade plea to Parliament in 1789. This image depicts the House of Commons as it appeared in 1833. The painting, by Sir George Hayter, has been maintained by the National Portrait Gallery, in London, since 1858.
On the 12th of May, 1789 - exactly two weeks after Fletcher Christian led a mutiny on HMS Bounty - William Wilberforce used his best oratory skills to lay before Parliament the abuses of the slave-trade. At the time, speeches were attended by newsmen who recorded them - as accurately as possible - for publication in the local papers.
In this first effort, Wilberforce faced a room filled with skeptical men. What chance did this youngster think he had to end such a profitable enterprise? Undaunted, William presented his irrefutable evidence.
Who was guilty of the actions taken against slaves?
I mean not to accuse any one, but to take the shame upon myself, in common, indeed, with the whole parliament of Great Britain, for having suffered this horrid trade to be carried on under their authority. We are all guilty—we ought all to plead guilty, and not to exculpate ourselves by throwing the blame on others; and I therefore deprecate every kind of reflection against the various descriptions of people who are more immediately involved in this wretched business.
Robert Norris, and others with economic reasons to maintain the slave-trade, had testified before the privy council that conditions were comfortable for the Africans. William stressed how unreliable such testimony could be:
[I]n this very point (to show the power of human prejudice) the situation of the slaves has been described by Mr. Norris, one of the Liverpool delegates, in a manner which, I am sure will convince the House how interest can draw a film across the eyes, so thick, that total blindness could do no more; and how it is our duty therefore to trust not to the reasonings of interested men, or to their way of colouring a transaction.
Slave-trade proponents had tried to convince Parliament that kidnapped Africans were happy to leave their homelands. Wilberforce spoke for the slaves who could not give evidence for themselves:
The slaves who are sometimes described as rejoicing at their captivity, are so wrung with misery at leaving their country, that it is the constant practice to set sail at night, lest they should be sensible of their departure. . .The truth is, that for the sake of exercise, these miserable wretches, loaded with chains, oppressed with disease and wretchedness, are forced to dance by the terror of the lash, and sometimes by the actual use of it.
Vast numbers of slaves died - before, during and immediately after - the transatlantic crossing:
It will be found, upon an average of all the ships of which evidence has been given at the privy council, that exclusive of those who perish before they sail, not less than 12½ per cent. perish in the passage. Besides these, the Jamaica report tells you, that not less than 4½ per cent. die on shore before the day of sale, which is only a week or two from the time of landing. One third more die in the seasoning, and this in a country exactly like their own, where they are healthy and happy as some of the evidences would pretend.
Showing members actual devices used to kidnap, imprison and punish slaves, Wilberforce used a model, and drawings, of the slave-ship Brookes to stress routine overcrowding conditions:
When first I heard, Sir, of these iniquities, I considered them as exaggerations, and could not believe it possible, that men had determined to live by exerting themselves for the torture and misery of their fellow-creatures. I have taken great pains to make myself master of the subject, and can declare, that such scenes of barbarity are enough to rouse the indignation and horror of the most callous of mankind.
Dismissing the view of slavers, and their supporters, who argued the trade was just a way to help Africans live better lives in safer places, William made clear he would stay the course. Setting up his twelve resolutions, to completely abandon the slave trade, Wilberforce gave notice he would not ignore those unable to speak for themselves:
From every consideration I shall deal frankly with the House, by declaring, that no act of policy whatever will make me swerve from my duty and oblige me to abandon a measure which I think will be an honour to humanity.
Concluding his speech, William put the evils of slave-trading squarely in Parliament's hands:
Having heard all of this you may choose to look the other way but you can never again say that you did not know.
Of the speech, Edmund Burke observed that:
it equalled any thing ... heard in modern times, and was not perhaps to be surpassed in the remains of Grecian eloquence.
Although his bill to abolish the slave trade was defeated, by a vote of 163 to 88, the first national public-relations campaign in history was about to begin.

In these first days of spring, we took a look back at some of the past season's job search trends. While this winter was characterized by consistently cold temperatures, we identified a few other patterns in the way people searched for jobs during those chilly months.
The Hollywood Effect
Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in The Wolf of Wall Street didn't just earn him an Oscar nomination, it had job seekers interested in his character's lucrative career. In both the US and the UK, job searches for "stockbroker" soared around the release dates (see chart above). These searches increased by 80% in the US and 44% in the UK.
Coffee is hot
As record levels of snow and ice covered the country (and put a freeze on some hiring), demand for baristas increased in several major cities. Job postings for "barista" are up in Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC.
Tax season is upon us
With April 15th fast approaching, accountants are in high demand as organizations look for help filing their returns. Specifically, the number of job postings for tax professionals has increased in Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Healthcare jobs are on the rise
The March 31st deadline to sign up on the healthcare exchange is right around the corner, keeping healthcare on the minds of many Americans. For the job market, health remains a top concern as well. The healthcare industry continues to be among the top job creators, with hospital jobs currently ranking as the most popular jobs in several cities including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington DC. The most popular roles in these cities are pharmacy technician, registered nurse, and nurse clinicians. In addition to typical healthcare roles, hospitals are also hiring for a range of positions including data analysts, webmasters, account administrators, and financial counselors.

Game Theory
• Learn how individuals contribute to teamwork
• Experience some of the features of group work and teamwork
• Understand what managers and organizational developers do to transform
• groups into teams
• Articulate the tangible benefits (both quantitative and qualitative) of
• high-performing teams
• Finish with an interest in learning more about these concepts and
• techniques to apply what you learn
Background: For this assignment, you will plan and play a game with your family or friends, or at work based on the idea of the classic prisoner's dilemma. If you have had a class on game theory, you will be well aware of this concept. It forms the basis of many TV game shows. The prisoner's dilemma was illustrated in Truman Capote's book, "In Cold Blood" concerning the 1959 robbery of a Kansas farmhouse by Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, who murdered their victims in order to eliminate the witnesses. After the men were captured, the police interrogated them separately. To get a confession, the police offered the men a reduced sentence for cooperating. Failure to cooperate would result in a death penalty charge for both.
In the prisoner's dilemma, if both parties cooperate they are mildly punished; if one betrays another, one is severely punished while the other goes free; and if both betray one-another, both are moderately punished. Can you think of settings where you work in which the organizational structure has created a prisoner's dilemma? Competition can (but does not necessarily) bring out conflict.
In game theory, there are non-cooperative and cooperative games. A non-cooperative zero-sum game has a definite winner and loser. For one to win, one must lose. We often think of politicking as an element of that. A cooperative game is where everyone who plays is better off for having played than not having played the game. That is not to say that...

I had the opportunity to represent PTSA at the 42nd Annual Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP) Western Branches Banff Seminar in March. The event's theme brought together over 300 pharmacists, students, pharmacy technicians and industry representatives "Seeking to find the answer to the ultimate question of Life, The Universe and Everything Pharmacy". For those of you familiar with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, you may remember that the answer to all things is 42.
Although this was a conference with sessions aimed at a pharmacist's scope of practice, I still found the sessions to be informative and relevant to my practice as a pharmacy technician. Dr.Sheri Koshman (Associated Professor of Medicine and Clinical Pharmacist in Edmonton) and Kelly Babcock, (Director of Pharmacy for the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region) held a semi-formal debate over the future of hospital pharmacy, Inpatient vs. Outpatient. Mr. Babcock spoke about the importance of moving pharmacists out of the dispensing roles and having pharmacy technicians move into those roles. I introduced myself to him after the debate and thanked him for bringing forward a critical key point that we, as pharmacy technicians, already understand; that when a pharmacy technician is working to their full scope, it shifts the workload and allows the pharmacist to engage in more patient care activities.
In one of the Saturday sessions, titled "Pharmacist Prescribing in Alberta: A New Era of Evidence", Dr. Tsuyuki presented several studies conducted on patients with hypertension, dyslipidemia and Type 2 diabetes when pharmacists prescribed and managed ongoing care for them in community pharmacies. These studies boasted significantly positive results and had me thinking about the roles that pharmacy technicians can play in supporting patient care. For example, pharmacy technicians can assist patients in selecting the appropriate blood pressure monitor, teach them how to properly take their blood pressure at home (or in the pharmacy) and discuss target ranges. We can work collaboratively with the prescribing pharmacists to provide ongoing care for a disease state that affects over 20% of Canadians.
I am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to attend the Banff Seminar. It allowed me to see some of the opportunities, challenges and successes that pharmacists face as they embrace their clinical scope of practice. It also allowed me to reflect on the pharmacy technician scope of practice, its evolution, and the ways we can work synergistically along side of our colleagues.
We are very happy to announce that 2016 Banff Seminar has been retroactively accredited for pharmacy technicians. The Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP) and PTSA have made a commitment to collaborate to advance the availability and access to quality continuing pharmacy education for pharmacy technicians. PTSA felt that The Banff Seminar stood out as an obvious opportunity to take learning that was already accredit for pharmacists and accredited it for pharmacy technicians as well. A big thank you to the CCCEP and the Banff Seminar Planning Committee for their follow through and commitment to increasing the amount of accredited learning available to pharmacy technicians.

Over $500,000, which will be used to help the low income pay energy bills, is being provided by Allegheny Energy's Trans Allegheny Interstate Line Company to the West Virginia Utility Assistance Program. These funds will aid over 1,600 households across the state.
The Director of the Program, Mr. Snidow, says that the recent funding of money will be especially helpful to low income individuals and families across the state given the current economy and the high unemployment rates. Since Oct. 1 2008, the assistance program has distributed grants to West Virginians totaling nearly $600,000. Almost 2,000 households were helped. Read more on West Virginia utility bill assistance.
There are some conditions to qualify for the recent funding. To qualify for the program, customers must have made a sincere effort to stay current with and pay their energy bills during the past 90 days. In addition, they need to have a household income that is equal to or less than 150 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines, which many families will be able to meet this criteria.
The primary program is administered in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. In general, low-income individuals, families and senior citizens in West Virginia may be able to qualify for grants and other forms of financial assistance from a statewide network of community-based organizations and agencies.
In addition to providing the low income with cash for bills, another service known as Watt Watchers is available to help customers of all income levels and backgrounds learn more about saving energy, conservation and money saving tips. The Allegheny Power Watt Watchers conservation program includes a host of energy conservation programs and just as importantly information that will help customers manage their electric bills and save a substantial amount of money, as they will be using energy more efficiently in their home or apartments.
Allegheny Power can be reached at 1-800-255-3443.

Strong 6.3 quake strikes off Vanuatu: USGS
A strong 6.3 magnitude quake struck off the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on Friday, the US Geological Survey said.world Updated: Jul 06, 2012 09:21 IST
A strong 6.3 magnitude quake struck off the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on Friday, the US Geological Survey said.
The tremor hit about 358 kilometres (222 miles) north-northwest of the capital Port Vila at a depth of about 180 kilometres, USGS said.
Hilaire Bule, a journalist at the Vanuatu Independent, said the tremor was not felt in Port Vila.
"We never felt anything here at all," he told AFP.
Geoscience Australia seismologist Steve Tatham said the offshore quake would not pose a tsunami risk to Australia.
"The magnitude isn't there, it's also relatively deep," he said.
In April, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the South Pacific island which lies on the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire", a zone of frequent seismic activity caused by friction between shifting tectonic plates.
"Vanuatu provides us with a good number of significant sized earthquakes so this isn't out of character at all," Tatham said.
"This... usually doesn't produce any sea level disturbances."

Art dealer Anton Kern and artist David Shrigley
As the starting bell for the fall season sounds, I happened to swing by a delightfully mischievous show at Anton Kern Gallery and who should be showing but the talented, the unholy, the pithy, the nimble Scot himself…. David Shrigley.
From mounted crooked fingers on the wall, to a robot bludgeoning a baby seal, to a long plinth of huge ceramic black boots, Shrigley's fourth show with Kern is a winner. Listen along as they suss out such heated topics as yoga balls, saddle chairs, hating children (except for one lucky child, Linus), how to get a gallery in NYC and of course no interview is complete without an in-depth investigation of the deadly 'Glasgow Smile'.

Elizabeth Dee (Elizabeth Dee Gallery) and Ryan McNamara (artist)
When one thinks of dynamic combinations, most often Reese's Peanut Butter Cups come to mind, two great tastes that go great together. When one thinks of stunning alliances in the art world, here, like the poignant Reese's cup, is a classic being born.
Ryan McNamara is one of the most talented artists working in performance today. From his piece at Performa last year called "Sacred Band of Thebes AKA Any Fag Could Do That" to his more recent projects in the Whitney Biennial and PS1's Greater New York, McNamara is stepping up the game and blending different practices of dance/theater/history/make-up and more. Now add Elizabeth Dee in the mix, one of the most exciting cultural producers making things happen today (she was one of the main people responsible for the fantastic X Initiative, as well as running one of the most dynamic galleries in Chelsea) and the possibilities are nearly endless.
Listen along and hear of such amazements as the permanent black eye, high school art projects on mass public display, re-envisioning the collector/steward/patron role and of course, disconnecting your ass and learning the almighty booty dance.

Ari Jankelowitz and Steven Day of Vinyl Contemporary
With galleries closing left and right, the henchman's axe swinging wide over American employment and prudence if not outright fear as the prevailing mindset, there comes a voice of hope on the horizon. Ari Jankelowitz and artist Steven Day have spearheaded a new mobile gallery dubbed Vinyl Contemporary. While they don't have a concrete physical space, they are doing projects including an upcoming show at the Verge Art Fair in Miami this December.
Ari Jankelowitz and Steven Day
Listen along as we answer such stirring questions as whether or not New York is a talentless art vacuum, what awaits us post-hedge fund, whether or not art has any suggestions for our foundering economy, whether or not anyone cares what artist's think and the granddaddy of them all, the revival of the small business model.

Earlier in the month we reported on a series of products Urban Outfitters had been offering through their online store and retail locations which included such gems as the Navajo Hipster Panty and the Navajo Print Fabric Wrapped Flask. The reason that these Navajo products caused such a stir was that they had nothing at all to do with the Navajo Nation. While the print found on the items coincides with a number of native tribal prints, including many used by actual Navajos, the products themselves were neither designed nor manufactured by the Navajo Nation or any Native American Tribe for that matter.
It turns out that appropriating another culture's designs for profit under the guise of cultural appreciation is not only a pretty dirty trick, but in the case of Native American tribes, it is actually illegal thanks to a law passed in 1990 to help protect tribal craft manufacturers from loosing a substantial chunk of their business to cheaply made or machined knock-offs. Well after a substantial amount of backlash directed at Urban Outfitters from bloggers, fashion writers and the Attorney General of the Navajo Nation the retail chain finally got the hint and gave their Navajo products the axe.
Just kidding, they dropped the word Navajo from the names, and that's all, no apology, no offer to compensate the Navajo Nation for the use of their name. In a press release issued earlier in the week Harrison Tsosie, the Navajo Nation Attorney General told reporters that "the Navajo Nation is vigilant and takes appropriate action in society, the law and the market to protect one of its most cherished elements: the Navajo name. So when companies sell products that have absolutely no connection to the Navajo Nation, its entities or its people, the Navajo Nation does not regard this as benign or trivial."
Is there a lawsuit in the future? Only time will tell on that one. But one thing is for certain, when it comes to righting the wrongs of their marketing department Urban Outfitters is right up there with American Apparel for how little they care. Someone should tell them that they are behind the times, stealing from Native Americans is so 19th century.

F1 News: 2014 Belgian GP Preview – Sahara Force India
August 19, 2014
2014 Formula 1 Shell Belgian Grand Prix: Preview
Vijay's Vision
Vijay Mallya looks ahead to the second half of the season.
Vijay, three weeks on from Budapest, has the team regrouped following a tough race?
"Until Hungary we had scored points in every race, so I guess we were due to have an unlucky weekend at some stage. I just hope that's our bad luck over and done with. At the same time there was a huge opportunity to come away with some significant points so it was a missed opportunity. Both drivers came to me and apologised. Checo was unlucky: the same thing happened to Vettel at the same corner and he got away with it."
Despite missing points in Budapest, the team still sits fifth in the championship…
"I'm pleased we went into the summer break in fifth place. I think it's where we deserve to be at this stage of the season. Fourth place is not out of reach either with 38 points covering fourth to sixth place. One race can make all the difference, and the last race, with double points, could prove to be decisive. So we'll just keep our heads down and focus on every single race and take it as it comes."
Can you believe it's almost five years since the team's first pole and podium at Spa?
"The time has gone quickly, but since then the team has only become stronger. It was a breakthrough moment when people sat up and started to take us seriously. I'm proud of where we are today and I feel there will be some big opportunities in the final eight races for us to show our potential. Spa is a high-speed track so it's an opportunity for the Mercedes-engined teams, but equally there are other tracks we are looking forward to, such as Singapore."
Driver's View: Nico Hulkenberg
Nico Hülkenberg looks forward to the challenge of Spa-Francorchamps.
Nico, are you feeling refreshed after your holidays?
"The summer break was a good opportunity to stay at home in Switzerland and relax. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to get back in the car because three weeks is a long time away from racing."
How are you approaching the second part of the season?
"I'm feeling upbeat. There's a lot at stake, but the team is up for the fight. We made the most of our opportunities in the first part of the season and we need to do the same in the final eight races. I expect a close battle in the championship until the end of the season so we need to be consistently picking up good points."
The Belgian Grand Prix is the next race – how much do you enjoy driving at Spa-Francorchamps?
"It's an amazing track and one of my favourites – as it probably is for everybody on the grid. There are so many iconic corners, such as Eau Rouge and Pouhon, which feel very special in a Formula One car. For the high and medium speed corners you obviously need downforce, but it's a trade-off with top speed on the long straights so you need good efficiency."
Driver's View: Sergio Perez
Sergio Perez is ready for the Belgian Grand Prix.
Sergio, what have you been up to during your summer holidays?
"I spent most of my time in Mexico. During the season I don't manage to go home as often as I would like so it was a good chance to spend time with my family."
Where better to resume the season than in Spa-Francorchamps?
"I love the track. It has amazing corners, lots of character and history. The racing is always intense because there are a couple of overtaking opportunities, especially in turn five if you get a good run through Eau Rouge. It will be interesting to see how these cars cope with Eau Rouge this year and whether we can still take it flat."
What do you feel is possible this weekend?
"I've never scored points at Spa, so that's my first target. We also need to put the disappointment of Hungary behind us. Spa is a power track and I think we can perform well there. You also have to expect wet weather at some point so it could be quite unpredictable."

U_U the poor cat has no tail (maybe that's why she's gazing at the nothingness <probably thinking about "jumping off"...but that's just my impression>)
Some cats have very short tails or even no tails at all. So I'm sure kitty is just fine :)
Wow...(i guess i should have read it on the upper right corner of the image...-worst part is i did...and forgot right after grinning at the katakana- *facepalm*). Now the whole pic makes sense - the island, the look... Thanks for the info!Radioactive said:

Readers of Mr. Michael Brown's website Spirit Daily www.spiritdaily.com are aware that he has been chronicling various accounts of weeping statues. The latest statue reported to be weeping is located in Sacramento at the Vietnamese Catholic Martyrs Church. Mr. Brown has noted that: "Whenever statues weep, there is concern that events may be coming to those regions. Weeping statues long preceded the disaster in Louisiana. Whether it was related or unrelated, there was also a "miraculous" image on a tree in Manhattan before September 11.
And so additional questions:
Why so many in Texas? Why Sacramento, which is the capital of California? And why would there be such a strong Viet Nam connection?
These are excellent questions. The late Fr. Albert Joseph Hebert, in his important work on weeping statues entitled "The Tears of Mary and Fatima: Why?," (published in 1983) referred to several instances of statues having wept throughout Louisiana (Chapter XIII) and wrote that a certain man (whom he dubbed Cuban Exile or "CE") had obtained "a large beautiful Our Lady of Fatima statue of his own. This statue was to shed tears many times in the metropolitan area of New Orleans."
In his book, Fr. Hebert asks, "Why did the North American International Pilgrim Virgin statue, which wept in so many places, have its most famous weeping in New Orleans? Why was another famous Fatima statue ("AW's"), which wept in many places in the United States, also present several times in New Orleans? And, why, only recently, 1980, did another Fatima statue weeping sequence occur in the metropolitan New Orleans area?"
Of course, devout Catholics now know why. But then, we have the advantage of hindsight. What does all of this mean for Sacramento? Only time will tell. Keep the people of Sacramento in your prayers.

What if superheroes - in fact, the entire comic book industry as we know it today - were just a government cover-up to hide the existence of real-life superheroes? That's just one of the high concept ideas behind Action, Ohio, a new webcomic by Neil Kleid and Paul Salvi. The comic surfaced as part of Zuda Comics, DC site where you can vote on the best new webcomics out there. We spoke to writer Kleid about the murder mystery story that leads to a new super world, and learned how you - yes, you - can do your part to fight a modern evil.
Action, Ohio - Loving tribute to superheroes or Watchmen-style expose of
the flaws of the genre? Discuss.
Now, Graeme... why can't it be both? Honestly, it's probably more tribute than expose but really explores what you see more and more in 21st Century superhero comic books - showcasing how superheroes or the existence thereof would affect the real world. If you discovered superhumans lived one town over, what would that do to YOUR life? How would it affect your family? The company you worked for? What if the company you worked for was a comic book company?
Showcasing the Silver Age, deconstructing the heroes that changed the face of superhero comics, allows me to look at our world through the eyes of a Barry Allen, a Steve Rogers, a Charles Xavier or Ray Palmer. It allows me to see the wonder, the horror, the gifts and blessing of being a superhero in today's Internet Age. And hopefully the strip conveys all of that to the reader.
We've kind of been here before - The strip is reminiscent of both Sci Fi Channel's Eureka and Wildstorm Comics' Welcome To Tranquility, where small town America is detourned by the fantastic - but this seems to be less about "Hey! Hicks with weird shit!" and more story-led. What made you come up with the concept, and this particular take on it?
Basically, I was sitting around and thinking about the new renaissance of comic book superhero movies. Remember when Spider-Man came out? Everywhere you turned in NYC, you saw a big, billboard Spidey swinging across the the skyline. Then it was Batman Begins. Now it's Iron Man. When you read a Marvel Comic and you see a throwaway billboard as Daredevil jumps across rooftops advertising an Iron Man movie, it's fun because it's comics. Did you ever think you'd be driving down the West Side Highway staring at a big old picture of Iron Man? It's almost like Tony Stark lives in our world, is the new celebrity. Well, imagine if you learned that those heroes - the ones you read about month after month, follow their adventures and watch their films, lived in this great nation of ours? As a comic book fan, wouldn't you want to visit?
And after reading a lifetime of books about Galactus, The Rogues Gallery and various Crises, wouldn't you be scared to death?
You bring the fear of the atomic age subtext of Marvel's superheroes to the forefront here, making it directly responsible for the creation of superheroes as a funnybook concept. Do you think that superheroes as we know them are inherently rooted in that kind of 1950s/60s timeframe? Are there any modern superheroes reflecting today's culture, or is that your next Zuda comic?
Well, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, when creating characters like Spider-man and the Hulk and the X-Men, and the various DC creators that dreamed up the Silver Age Green Lantern, Flash and the Atom knew that the advent of the atom bomb really opened up a whole new world of science - and storytelling. I feel the Silver Age has its roots in two things - that post-1950s, dawn of the space race, fear of nuclear warfare excitement, and a clinging legacy to the generation that came before - the Justice Society, Captain America, Superman and Batman. I LOVE the term "mysterymen", but the Silver Age heroes, while deeply rooted in their secret identities (and in many Marvel characters cases, their psychoses), were not "mysteries." Sure - you had your Spider-man and the X-Men, but they weren't hiding in the shadows with costumes like those, nor in the way they operated. The Justice League and Avengers were role models - loved by the world.
Today, I feel there are many cases where superheroes reflect our times... but much of that has to do with their evolution. Captain America will always fight terrorists and nihilists - he just needs to do it differently now than he used to do in 1944. I think we're past the violent nineties and getting back to smart, worldy superheroes - supported by the information age, fighting evil that's evolved to meet the new millenium. Examples would be the wonderful Birds of Prey comic and the completely overhauled Green Lantern series. One thing I love about DC is that you really have seen these characters grow - sidekicks become heroes of their own, heroes like the Flash and Red Arrow have children and new responsibilities. As the times change, so do the heroes. Only... not in Action, Ohio.
Seeing Action continue right now requires a lot of votes at Zudacomics.com; how're you planning to convince everyone to give you their X in the virtual box?
Well, it isn't enough to hope that good storytelling, amazing art and a genuine love for the medium will win through. I have to rely on the marketer inside me to make some waves, right?
First off, Action, Ohio is a full service comic - there's a production blog at http://actionohio.blogspot.com where folks can check out original sketches, behind the scenes commentary and promotional banners they can use on their website, blog, email signature and rocking denim jacket. Interested parties can also friend the MySpace page at www.myspace.com/actionohio and check out the Facebook group.
Paul and I are cooking up a contest for next week and to promote offline, I'll be a guest at Tuesday's Comic Book Club here in NYC on May 13th at 8PM. CBC is an improvised talk shows about comic books and the men and women who love them and is hosted by Alex Zalben, Justin Tyler and Pete LePage. Please come by and talk Zuda and Action, Ohio with me.
Finally... a vote for us is a vote against the evil that's evolved to meet the new millenium. You don't want evil to win, do you?

Notes on the Festival "Architectural Heritage 2016" Made by a Scientifically-Minded Culturologist
The author shares his impressions on the First Moscow Festival devoted to preservation and restoration of the cultural and historical heritage sites. He makes a conclusion on insufficient methodological comprehension of the subject. Unclear definitions of the cultural heritage site hinder development of this sector and obstruct cooperation of the monument protection agencies with business communities and public organizations.

Home / Insights / Business / The future of work lays with creatives
28 September 2016
The fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us and we're all going to lose our jobs, again. Putting aside the scaremongering and taking a look at the literature on the topic, there is no doubt we have to think about the future of work and our place in the system.
Tim Dunlop's new book Why the Future is Workless (New South; rrp $29.99), for example, examines how automation will replace human workers, while a CEDA report from 2015 estimates that in 15 years about 40 percent of today's jobs will be replaced by technology.
Did you ever think there would be driverless cars and what does that mean if you work for Uber? Have you thought about the impact of software replacing lawyers and accountants by searching case law and precedent, carrying out discovery, online accounting and book-keeping aps, for example?
When you consider we live in a Capitalist system, developments like these make perfect sense. Capitalism's largest cost is labour. Destroying jobs cuts these costs, increasing growth. In the Capitalist system in which we live, using technology to get rid of jobs makes perfect sense.
No area of work is immune in the new world order of work and capital, except when it comes to creatives and empathy, and that's where organisations such as CULTURE AT WORK (CAW) (pictured above) are ahead of the wave.
"After eight years of hard work, CULTURE AT WORK - a not for profit charity and an Australian Research Institute - was listed as the seventh most innovative NFP organisation in Australia," says Liz Rowell, Board member.
"This was measured by innovation, adaption and achievement in creative outcomes including school programs and artist residency outcomes. The vision is to highlight the value of the artist as a contributor to research, creativity, innovation and the economy. Working with talented artists and connecting them with creative and flexible scientists, engineers and mathematicians, for the purpose of innovation and development in Australia and beyond, will mean that eventually creativity will be measured and valued as a great contributor to our future world," says Liz.
"One day, artists working on collaborative projects will be paid in the same way as scientists. This will encourage hybrid artist-scientists and attract more girls to the field," she finishes.
CAW is setting out to inspire future generations of creative thinkers through Art, Science and Technology in a series of programs that start from early learning and primary school programs for disadvantaged schools to community art and health programs like National Science Week talks, conferences, workshops, performances and art-science residencies and exhibitions.
Laura Jade Hindes is an artist with degrees in Biology and Painting and Illuminated Design. She has been an artist in residence with CAW and during her residency created a two-metre light brain with a team of technicians, neuroscientist and coders. A headset links the brain to the wearer's alpha, beta and theta waves. Recently, Laura was at a science communicators conference, Starmus, on the Canary Islands with Stephen Hawkings and Brian Cox. Created by Garik Israelian, researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC), the Starmus Festival is a combination of science, art and music that has featured presentations from Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Nobel Prize Winners and prominent figures from science, culture, the arts and music. CAW is looking forward to what Laura will bring back to the organisation.

water my blurry eyes
My spirit and my being, both are wanting,
to touch the majestic skies
Oh the anguish and the heartache
of seeing this world of ours so torn
We are forgetting and we are neglecting
the reason for which we're born.
Bombs are exploding and people are fighting:
the newscast is on overdrive
Oh what do we hope in and what is this madness
and how can we ever survive?
What is the reasoning and what is the intention:
behind the shedding of blood
My heart is all broken up; my knees are all wobbly:
and the oceans are readying to flood
Oh, can you not hear it: the cry of the universe;
how quickly we're destroying her years
This cannot be happening; this cannot be transpiring:
we're causing her to break down in tears
How can we continue it. how can we insist it:
this demolition of the world that we know
If we will ponder it; if we will listen to it;
we will hear what our spirit's needing to know...

A user-friendly design keeps initial training costs to a minimum, and underscores the principle that users should not need advanced computer literacy skills in order to use sophisticated terminology software.
tlTerm automates many tedious aspects of data entry for you, such as automatic numbering and sorting of entries, or finding untranslated terms.
A real-time entry preview updates as you edit, and shows you not only the current entry, but those following it, allowing you to quickly view and scroll through the entire terminology database.
Multimedia support allows you to link images and sounds (e.g. pronunciation recordings) to entries.
Essentially all of the world's languages are supported, thanks to full support for the industry standard international character set Unicode, integrated throughout every aspect of tlTerm.
Supports Windows IMEs (Input Method Editors) - data can be entered directly into tlTerm using any of the so-called "soft keyboards" available in Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP, such as those for Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Arabic. For the South African market, tlTerm also includes built-in standards-based support for easily entering Venda, Afrikaans and Sotho/Tswana diacritics.
Our innovative 'sort plug-in' architecture allows fully configurable sorting for any language.
Multi-user support allows a team of users to work on a single terminology database simultaneously.
The system keeps track of who edited what and when, and allows managers to track progress of each team member.
An entry-locking system prevents changes made by one user from being overwritten by changes made by another user.
A DTD (Document Type Definition) is used to describe the structure of entries for each particular terminology project. This allows the structure to be fully customised by the user for each project (e.g. which languages to include). The tlTerm DTD system is based on the industry standard XML DTD system.
A user-friendly interface, supplemented with detailed documentation, allows end-users to configure their DTD without requiring assistance from an IT expert. A sensible default DTD also allows new users to get "up and running" within minutes, while template DTDsallow custom or standard DTDs to be easily re-used as starting points for new terminology projects.
Constraints prevent users from creating invalid entries, thus ensuring consistency throughout the terminology database.
Fields may to be restricted to selection from a closed list, e.g. a part of speech list.
A comprehensive Styles system allows you to configure all aspects of the visual output of any field.
Automatic numbering may be configured for any field.
Multiple sets of styles may be defined, allowing multiple editions or 'views' to be generated from the same database, such as print vs. electronic/Web views. Combined with the Filter tool, which allows users to define criteria for viewing or exporting a subset of the data, this can be used to print "sub-dictionaries" from a single database, e.g. one could select to export all terminology related to a particular field as necessary, or for a particular language or language combination for regional terminology list distribution (for example, one could select to export a 'mini English - isiXhosa dictionary of just election-related terminology').
Export your data to many formats, such as MS Word, OpenOffice, InDesign, XML, HTML or HTML/CSS.
Fully-Integrated Corpus: Built-in corpus query functionality integrates directly into your workflow.
Customising the language of the metalanguage: Change the language used to display labelling information such as part of speech, usage information and more.
A full database search tool allows fast text searches on the entire database, with options such as case-sensitivity or whole-word/partial-word matching. Advanced users may also use regular expressions.
The Compare/Merge tool allows different versions of a database to be visually compared with one another. Changes made by a user working at home or otherwise offline from the main database can be easily merged back into the main database.
Built-in scripting language allows programmers to interface directly with tlTerm, as well as create "calculation fields", similar in principle to Microsoft Excel formulas.
"Term Fanouts" automatically shows entries related to the current one via a shared term.
An innovative and powerful Ruler Tool measures and monitors various aspects of progress, such as space allocation across alphabetic sections, providing a unique tool for planning and for ensuring balanced data.
Free Reader: tlReader: Freely downloadable application that can be used to view tlTerm termbases, or make them available for use by translators.

Lumiere By Maris
Lumière by Maris has been operating since 2014 making container soy wax candles, all of which are individually hand poured by myself in Perth, WA. I pride myself on using only premium products for each candle.
At Lumière by Maris I don't limit myself to candle products only; I also have Origami shadow boxes to my range and they are as unique as they are gorgeous and a Must Have to any home.
I turn paper into birds, what is your superpower?
All my origami is hand folded using the ancient ancient art of Japanese paper folding, an art form spanning over 1,000 years. I was inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was just 12 years when she was diagnosed with Leukemia. She was given a year to live. Legend said that if one folded 1000 paper cranes then their wish will come true. At the time of her death on 25 October 1955, Sadako had folded one thousand three hundred cranes.
I will write Peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world - Sadako Sasaki
Each Origami of mine is carefully folded and made right here in Western Australia using Yuzen paper (commonly known as Chiyogami paper). My Origami can either be placed in a grid like format or around a quirky quote for that special someone in your life, the quality deep frame is a stylish addition to any home. They can be shipped anywhere in the world.
My carefully handcrafted pieces are designed to fit any décor. They are great gift which can be personalised to suit.
Thank you for supporting a local small artisan.

Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday urged Congress against passing any new Iran sanctions bill, arguing that it could break up the international coalition on Iran and suggesting that it would violate the terms of the recent nuclear deal, thus giving the Iranians "public excuse to flout the agreement."
"We're asking you to give your negotiators and our experts the time and the space to do their jobs and that includes asking you while we negotiate that you hold off imposing new sanctions," Kerry told members of the House Foreign Relations Committee. "I'm not saying never. … I'm just saying not right now."
Kerry explained that the current negotiations between the P5+1 — the U.S., U.K, France, China, Russia and Germany — and Iran are potentially a historic opportunity to solve the Iranian nuclear crisis peacefully and that the process is a delicate one. He told lawmakers that Congress could easily pass a new sanctions bill on Iran in one week, if necessary. "They know that if this fails sanctions will be increased. We've said it a hundred times. And you all have said it a hundred times and they know you're yearning to go do it," Kerry said. "But you don't need to do it. It is actually gratuitous in the context of this situation."
In the deal reached last month in Geneva, the P5+1 committed to, according to the text of the deal, "[n]ot impose new nuclear-related sanctions for six months, if Iran abides by its commitments under this deal, to the extent permissible within their political systems." While the Obama administration has appeared to avoid saying outright that Congress passing more sanctions on Iran during the six-month first step agreement would violate the accord, Kerry on Tuesday came up to that line. "We have an obligation to give these negotiations an opportunity to succeed and we can't ask the rest of the P5+1 and our partners around the world to hold up their ends of the bargain if the United States isn't going to uphold its end of the bargain," he said, adding:
If we appear to be going off on our own tangent and do whatever we want we will potentially lose their support for the sanctions themselves because we don't just enforce them by ourselves, we need their help. And I don't want to threaten the unity that we currently have with respect to this approach particularly when it doesn't cost us a thing to go through this process knowing that we could put sanctions in place additionally in a week and we would be there with you seeking to do it. I don't want to give the Iranians public excuse to flout the agreement.
It appears that the Iranians might indeed take that opportunity to flout the agreement. When asked by Time Magazine what would happen if Congress passed new sanctions, "even if they don't go into effect for six months," Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said, "The entire deal is dead."
But Kerry's wider argument echoes what CAP expert Matt Duss noted this week. "[New sanctions] would put the United States at odds both with its P5+1 partners and the broader international community, whose cooperation has been essential to the sanctions' effectiveness, and who have made clear that further reductions to Iran's oil sales would be difficult for them to manage," he wrote. "It could also dramatically undermine Iranian confidence that the Obama administration can follow through on the eventual comprehensive deal that addresses all aspects of Iran's nuclear program in exchange for much broader sanctions relief. After all, if the president can't even hold his own government to this modest first-phase agreement, how can he be expected to sell a larger, probably more controversial one?"
At the moment it is unclear if Congress will pass new sanctions on Iran any time soon. Sens. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) have been leading the charge in the senate but it appears that the National Defense Authorization bill will pass without any Iran amendments and the Banking Committee — where sanctions would have jurisdiction — has yet to take up the House's Iran sanctions bill. But the Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Kirk and Menendez may propose a stand alone measure noting that "it will fall" to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid "to decide whether the Menendez-Kirk bill gets a full vote."

No matter what goalie the Chicago Blackhawks put into their net, they are coming away with win after win.
Corey Crawford completed the task to perfection on Sunday night as he made Andrew Shaw's goal stand up in a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets that stretched the Blackhawks' NHL-record, season-opening point streak to 18 games.
The Blackhawks are 15-0-3 and show no signs of slowing down.
Crawford earned his seventh NHL shutout and second this season in his first start since Feb. 12. He outdueled Columbus' Steve Mason, who stopped 26 shots including some sensational point-blank chances.
"I'm seeing the puck well," Crawford said. "Everyone is doing their job, chipping in. It makes it a lot easier for me.
"Overall I felt good."
Chicago coach Joel Quenneville thought Crawford (8-0-3) looked just fine in his return, too.
"He was quick," Quenneville said. "(He was) big, especially on the side-to-side plays on the power play. He tracked the puck well, looked like he wasn't off for any time at all.
"He had a couple extras days there, got ready. A great response."
Crawford had been sidelined after he sustained an upper-body injury in a 3-2 shootout loss to Anaheim on Feb. 12. Ray Emery started and won four games in his absence.
Crawford had returned to the lineup as Emery's backup on Friday when the Blackhawks set the NHL record with at least one point in the first 17 games of a season with a 2-1 win over San Jose. That topped the 2006-07 Anaheim Ducks, who started 12-0-4.
Shaw provided all the offense in the second period on Sunday for the Blackhawks, who have earned 33 of 36 possible points.
The Blackhawks also improved to 9-0-3 in games decided by one goal.
"We're playing the score" Quenneville said. "We're playing to win. Being on the right side of pucks in a game like today was a good test for us.
"They work hard. It's the type of game you make sure you don't try to manufacture things. We took too many penalties, but got better as the game went on."
Chicago has won nine straight against Columbus, dating to Feb. 18, 2011.
The 18-game point streak is also a team record for the Blackhawks, who have only lost in shootouts this season.
The Blue Jackets (5-12-2), who have an NHL-low 12 points, went 0 for 5 on the power play. Mason kept the game close as he started for the first time in over a week.
He had been on the bench the past three games while Sergei Bobrovsky started.
"I felt good," Mason said. "I had about a week's worth of practice to get ready for this game.
"We knew it was going to be a big one with them being the only undefeated team in the NHL. We would have liked to have come in and ended that streak, but that didn't happen."
The Blackhawks dominated territorially and in puck possession through the first two periods, but only managed to get one shot past the Blue Jackets goalie.
Both teams had a handful of scoring chances in the first period. Mason made a point-blank pad save on Marian Hossa with 8:30 left, and Crawford stopped Derick Brassard from the slot two minutes later.
Mason denied Hossa on a breakaway 5:30 into the second after Hossa stole the puck from James Wisniewski at the Columbus blue line.
The Blue Jackets failed to convert several close-in attempts during a power-play late in the second, including when Vinny Prospal's shot hit the crossbar to cap a breakaway.
Shaw finally broke through with 1:27 left in the second from the low edge of the left circle. He took Bryan Bickell's backhanded feed from the back boards and ripped a high one-timed shot that beat Mason high on the stick side.
"He saw me coming," Shaw said. "But I wasn't sure, so I gave him a holler and he put it in a perfect area."
Mason made a point-blank pad save on Patrick Kane midway through the third period after Kane made a spectacular spin move and cut across the crease alone.
Game notes
The Ducks went on to win the Stanley Cup in 2007. … Blackhawks C Dave Bolland missed the game because of an undisclosed upper-body injury. … Columbus went 1-5 on its six-game road trip. …The Blue Jackets placed D Jack Johnson (upper-body), on the injured list on Sunday. C Brandon Dubinsky (lower body) and C Artem Anisimov (upper body) were also out.

Rockstar games announce Grand Theft Auto Vice City for Android
It has been 10 years since hugely popular game developer Rockstar released their Vice City title in the Grand Theft Auto series of games. It was their sixth game in the GTA series and their second 3D game in the series. Originally released on October 29th 2002 for the Sony PlayStation 2,the game proved to be successful enough to be later ported to the Xbox console and now RockStar Games have excitedly announced that they will be making this classic open world game available on the Android mobile platform. Rockstar Games have already released one of their previously successful titles Grand Theft Auto III last year for Android devices to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the original release of Grand Theft Auto III, which was their first ever 3D game and now Rockstar have announced that they are doing the same for Vice City. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be made available for select Android devices and the company plan on releasing the game onto mobiles later in the year. As well as bringing the full Grand Theft Auto: Vice City experience to Android mobile devices, there will be several enhancements to the game that are unique to Android and the game will also feature native high resolution graphics. Rockstar Games have promised to give more details about the upcoming mobile game in the next few weeks, including the list of Android smartphones and tablets that the game will be compatible with. Hopefully we will also receive a more concrete release date and some firm pricing information. Although the game is expected to be priced at around the $5 mark.

Today, Arielle Haspel will show you how to make some delicious and healthy Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, a pasta favorite. With just a few substitutions to the classic recipe, you will now be able to get some essential nutrients out of this amazingly simple Italian dish.
First, you're going to saute 1 chopped white onion with a little olive oil and some water. Now you're ready to add some of the beef, which is half a pound of grass-fed organic beef. Next, add in 10 cherry tomatoes straight to the pan, which will wilt down as soon as they heat up a little. Then sprinkle in some kale (3 leaves), 1 cup of basil, and 1 cup of parsley to add some flavor into the beef.
To add some more veggies into the mix, add 3 large mushrooms. Then, sprinkle in half a teaspoon of sea salt and half a teaspoon of pepper.
Once all the veggies seem to be nice and cooked, you can add in 2 cups of tomato sauce. Keep the bolognese sauce in the heat and let it simmer so you really mix those flavors together.
For the spaghetti, you'll be cooking some brown rice spaghetti, which is much healthier than white or even whole wheat pasta. Once the spaghetti is ready, add it into your Bolognese sauce and enjoy without the guilt!
