Let us pray in common
We, the General Committee of the ICDS, ask all the Lay Salvatorians over the world to enclose the following requests in their prayer and to build a prayer chain over the world for …
- for Pope Francis, that the Holy Spirit will give him the power to fulfill his mission for the renewing of our church – and may God preserve him healthy.
- for the recognition of a miracle for the Holy See to review and accept for the beatification of Fr. Jordan, founder of the Salvatorians.
- for the successful outcome from the Pontifical Council for the Lay Faithful, granting us the approval of our statutes and recognition as the International Community of the Divine Savior.
- for the members of the General Committee, that they find ways and a speech to encourage and motivate all Lay Salvatorians of the world, that each one carries his part of effort of the development of the Salvatorian family and so the project gets on.
Give them the grace to be apostles, and to find always answers to the complex challenges of our time.
- for the members of the ICDS commissions, that the Holy Spirit may inspire them in their work for a good development of the organization

and especially for
- for refugees who take incredible exertions to escape the terrible conditions in their homeland.
- for the refugee children along their trip to and through Europe. Let them find good people who alleviate their most suffering and give them healthy and secure accommodation.
- for the refugee women that they find areas of respect and security on their trip.
- for the people of Europe, that they open their hearts for those people who are seeking help.
- for the people of Europe that they understand that no one leaves his home just for fun and moves into an uncertain future.

- for the people of Europe that they are not be tempted by right-wing populists and profiteers, who only have the destruction of society in mind.

United States
- for a brother of a Lay Salvatorian who passed away in the first days of February. Take him into your arms of love, o Lord.

but do not have the knowing or the possibility to be there.
- for all the unknown neighbors.
- for those, which are supporting the help for the refugees and give them a home!
- for those, which are including other people in their prayers – people, which are never known and seen before.

- Lord, make our church again to a place of home, a place of interest and joy, a place of freedom and justice!
- for the responsible politicians of our nations. Give them the wisdom, that immigrants are often the result of a failed economic politic, war and/or non perspectives for the people. We all could work against this atrocious conditions – if we really want it to do.
- that we learn to share the goods of this world more and furthermore each one recognizes that money is not the sense of our life
- Oh Lord, send us called, which assist us in our tasks and help us to invite young people.
Let's invite you to Monday evening prayer for peace over the world.
Probably- you know the difficulties and inhuman situations of war, crime, intolerance, violence and terror in several countries like Palestine, Iraq, Pakistan, Venezuela, and so on. What can we as easy people do?
We come together as possible on each Monday evening over the world for a prayer for justice and peace – if in chapels, churches, on the street, at your work or at home – where ever you are. You are not alone, there are more people with you in prayer as you can imagine. Invite family members, friends, neighbors, or someone you know and /or who could be interested and follow this idea. Spend a time of prayer and quietness together and ask the Lord to give peace in all hearts and minds, which are longing for it. Especially for the children, families and civilians, but also for those soldiers and combatants, which are not of their own will in the battles, but were forced to fight by others.
Even if you're only a minute in short prayer or intense thoughts here, you are living the communion with God for peace! – Peace is always possible if someone dares the first step. Maybe this prayer can remind us to start it with this easy first step!
A prayer for this month
Remembered Joy
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all…
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss…
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
(An Irish prayer)
The loving god is on the way with you, particularly in the moments,
where you need him special.
If you have a concern for that you think it's a need to be prayed, don't hesitate to tell us with a comment or a prayer request → go to "prayer request" left above, please.

There were fewer of us than usual in the dojo on Thursday, so we used the opportunity to analyse how we cut men and to break down the movement to its component parts with the aim of repairing each element before putting it in the correct sequence to make an effective men strike.
Kendoka in the early stages of their kendo careers generally face three problems that affect their cutting action.
They either:
- Lift the shinai before they step into their own uchima distance, rather than stepping in whilst maintaining chudan kamae and then lifting the shinai and striking in the timing of one.
- Are unable to make correct footwork, because they are using the right foot to drag the left rather than pushing with the back foot, or lifting the right foot too high when making fumikomi, so that the left foot then flicks up in an arabesque movement to compensate.
- Or they use too much upper body power to make the cut. This can be a case of too much shoulder power or in many cases strength is concentrated in the right arm.
Fixing these errors is not always simple; because cause and effect can become confused, and very often, bad habits in men striking are a combination of more than one problem area.
We went through the analysis stage and acknowledged our own and each other's faults then went through a series of suburi, footwork and uchikomi drills and people were starting to show some improvement, but I noticed that in several cases the cutting path of the shinai was not following a straight natural line through the centre of the body.
This led me to a eureka moment when I remembered an experiment conducted by an elderly sensei at the Kyoto Taikai a few years ago. He had set up a device which looked a bit like a tall music stand in a space behind one of the bogu stalls surrounding the Butokuden. The stand had a frame with clamps on either side into which he inserted a broadsheet newspaper page. He then challenged all and sundry to cut through the newspaper using a shinai without fittings. There were various results from kenshi of varying grades. Those who used far too much strength just ripped the paper out of the frame. Those who put just too much power in the right hand made an uneven zigzag cut and those that were totally relaxed and centred cut the paper down the middle in a perfectly straight line.
Recreating this seemed the perfect way to demonstrate how to cut correctly, so I asked if anyone had a newspaper and someone obliged with the evening free-sheet. We took turns at holding the newspaper pages and everyone, me included took turns at cutting. The result across the board was that the page floated towards the ground in one piece whilst the holder was left clutching the two top corners, leaving me to reflect on why it didn't work.
There are four possible answers. The newspaper was wet; you need a frame to hold the paper properly; our cutting was not good enough, or it does not work with the London Evening Standard only with the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.

Thank you for this. I'm more determined than ever to quit smoking. Today will be my last day!
All the reasons to quit — that I've been telling people in regards to drinking — are filling my head. "You won't feel bad forever… then you'll feel better than you ever did!" "You WON'T look back and wish you HADN'T quit.". Haven't had a drink since 1999 and I'm still afraid to try new thing. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly…
Thank you again.

Basileia intended to increase the capacity of the church's ministries and other nonprofits, helping them to actively output change. The brand required a sense of religious heritage and gravitas, as well as modern adaptability and belonging. Being primarily a business-to-business service, it was important to appeal to executives and nonprofit boards.

Why not talk about marriage? That is to say that you are serious about saving your own. Some of you are very fortunate in that you have a good friend to talk to. A friend in need is a friend indeed, isn't that what they usually say? While your husband is out of earshot, you have it out with your best friend. She has also given you a shoulder to cry on. That's good. But it's not enough, although she probably meant well.
If she knew better, she would have recommended that you and hubby seek out a marital counseling woodcliff lake nj consultation. Yes, that's correct, this is psychological counseling where both you and your spouse will have to be in attendance. This is not the time and place to explain to you all how the counselling sessions actually work. That is best explained by your guidance counselor. He or she also needs to make assessments on the way forward for you two.
Perhaps your best friend has had experience of a marriage gone bad. She can tell you her own story. But did she happen to tell you how she managed to fix her marriage. And did you know that maybe it's second time around for her? She and her husband can also go in for counseling, didn't you know. That's the thing about good, well-meaning friends. They're good listeners. Sometimes they even have one or two wise words of advice.
That's usually rare, when you really think about it, and by the way, one of the wisest things anyone could say to another is to go in for professional counseling. Finally, did you know that you can also receive counseling for when you and he really, really want to break it off, peacefully and amicably.

Tired of doing the same ol' boring thing every darn day?
Wake up. Get dressed. Go to work. Eat lunch. Go back to work. Get off from work. Go home. Eat dinner. Watch Netflix. Go to sleep. Wake up. Get dressed...
Are routine and predictability draining the life out of you?
Wake up. Get dressed. Get the kids ready for school. Take them to school. Go home. Clean. Pick the kids up from school. Go home. Cook dinner. Help with homework. Get the kids ready for bed. Go to bed. Wake up. Get dressed. Get the kids ready for school...
Most adults are creatures of habit. Not from lack of zeal and inspiration but because we fall into patterns and routines that keep our lives organized and chaos-free.
But after a while, we become bored with doing the same things over and over and that can lead to discontentment and even depression. That depression can send you spiraling into the vicious cycle - I'm depressed because my life is boring; my life is boring because I'm depressed.
Below are unique activities you can try every day that will shake your life up a little bit without turning your world completely upside down.
1. Sleep on the other side of your bed, or sleep with your head at the foot of the bed. This is a great way to kick off your journey!
2. Eat with your non-dominant hand every now and then.
3. Rearrange your furniture.
4. Remodel or spruce up a room. If a complete overhaul is not needed or is too costly for you, try hanging up some art or painting the walls a different color.
5. Frequently enter contests, sweepstakes, and competitions.
6. Join a club or organization. Hippies for Trump just might be for you! (I'm not sure if that's a real club. I just made that up. Too scared to check if it's real or not.)
7. Cut and/or color your hair to look dramatically different.
8. Host a few "just because" parties throughout the year.
9. Take a different route to work/school.
10. Dress the way YOU want to dress. If you want to wear a baseball uniform to the mall then go for it! If you want to dress gothy to go to Walmart because it makes you feel like dying, then by all means...
11. Get a unique pet like a hedgehog, tortoise, parrot, snake, etc.
12. Get a new hobby. Try your hand at woodworking, hiking, calligraphy, tap dance, roller skating, etc.
13. Never miss a community festival, no matter how big, small or weird it is.
14. Get into a new TV or book series.
15. Hang out somewhere else. You know that coffee shop you go to every Thursday? Yeah, try a different one.
16. Read biographies and about unusual famous people.
17. Join a new social media site. Connect with other people on less popular sites like Ello and Bebo. (Did you know MySpace is still a thing??).
18. Discover a new genre of music. There's SO much more out there than just rap, rock, R&B, country, and pop. Explore Pandora and Spotify for new genres or check out this list here. I'm super in love with gypsy rock and Turkish pop music! <<TRUTH
19. Get fancy! Start putting more effort into your appearance. Dress like you're always headed somewhere special.
20. Never order the same meal twice at a restaurant.
21. Switch gym memberships, walking/running trail, daily exercise routine.
22. Shop at a different grocery store.
23. Change your scent. Get a new perfume, cologne, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc.
24. Take a different mode of transportation to places you frequent.
25. Make every date completely different from the last. Looking for some fun ideas? Check out my post 20 Affordable, Hilarious and Quirky Date Ideas for Adults.
26. Listen to a different radio station.
27. Start a dating profile (um, only if you're single). Dating websites are fun! It's like shopping online for a new love interest.
28. Get a different job. Unemployed? Get a job! Retired? Volunteer!
29. Travel - even if it's just to the next city over. Get out of town and explore!
30. Talk to strangers and make new friends or hang-out buddies.
31. Spice things up in the bedroom. Try out some sexy gizmos and different positions.
33. Take baths instead of showers or showers instead of baths.
34. Brighten up your wardrobe, especially if you're in a suit and tie corporate kind of job. Guys, get a lime green bow tie or some red polka dot socks. Ladies get some sparkly glitter heels or a sunny yellow dress. Even little pops of color can brighten your day and perhaps someone else's!
35. Become a tutor or teach a class. Are you an expert in a particular subject or skill? Share it with everyone! Contact your local city community center or college to see if you meet the criteria for teaching a class.
36. Trade in your vehicle for something completely different in a totally different color (something still suited to your lifestyle of course).
38. Spruce up and decorate your work-space. Bring photos from home, souvenirs and other fun trinkets to revamp your office or cubicle.
39. Focus on being a super nice person. Give compliments, pick up the tab, open doors - go above and beyond to be a sweetie.
40. Be a "yes-man". Say yes to (almost) everything!
Granny: Would you like to come with me to feed my llamas?
You: Yes!
Granny: And then afterward, perhaps you would like to join me for bingo?
You: Yes!
Granny: And then you can help me shave your grandfather's back?
You: No.
How do you keep your life exciting? What would you like to add to the list?

Silk owners reach deal with Ladybug club
Jon Ferraro, the operator of Silk Exotic, said Tuesday he had reached a deal with the Habib Manjee, the general manager and licensee of the troubled "Ladybug Club," 618 Live on Water, to take over the club and open a Silk Exotic strip club there.
Ald. Bob Bauman, who represents Downtown, has said he is in favor of the new arrangement.
"It's up to the people around there," Bauman said. "Do they want violence and guns or exotic dancers?"
Details of the accord were not disclosed.
While the application for a new Silk on Water Street will soon be filed, Ferraro has also reapplied for a theater license for the city-owned property across the street from the Bradley Center. Center officials, along with the Bucks, Admirals and Marquette oppose the opening of a strip club at that location. No action has been scheduled on that application.
Nine months ago Federal Judge Lynn Adelman ruled in a case before him that the failure of the City of Milwaukee to act on an application by Silk Exotic to open a strip club in Downtown was a violation and the City was liable for lost revenues for the club.
The club's owners maintained the venue would have opened in September 2010 and the judge ruled that the period for lost damages ran from then until September 2012.
In preparing a claim for damages to the city, the operators of the club, who also have clubs on the west side, in Juneau and in Madison, hired a respected forensic accounting firm to determine just what the damages would be. The report offers an intimate glimpse into how much money strip clubs make.
Using figures from Silk Exotic on Silver Spring Drive in Milwaukee the report, by Peters & Associates, says that an average of over 1,300 people patronized the the club each week during the 77 weeks from 2010 to 2012. Peters reported that revenue at Silk Exotic was $53 per customer and the profit was $16 per customer.
Ferraro has applied for a theater license to operate a non-alcoholic strip club that would feature nude dancing and be open for 24 hours. Peters estimated that given the longer hours, higher admission charge and a minimum drink charge, revenue at that club would be $50 per customer.
The amount of the claim is $1.1 million, which Peters estimates is the lost profit for the 77-week period.
In the past Ferraro has offered to waive that claim if a license to operate is granted. The city has refused to consider that waiver offer in conjunction with a license application, preferring to keep the two matters separate.
As part of its forensic examination, Peters & Associates conducted a survey of non-alcoholic clubs around the country and a survey of customers at Silk Exotic. They reported that a majority of customers at Silk Exotic said they would visit a Downtown club.
Ferraro said he was also in the process of negotiating leases with a number of other locations.
"We still prefer the Bradley Center location," he said. "But as long as we are within five minutes or so from Downtown, we could make it work."

They could do some serious lunch & happy-hour business downtown. Anything is better than the current Lady Bug Club. There were fights there EVERY night during the summer.

In the heart of Majengo slum residents operate their business way into the night just to make an extra profit. Aziza Hussein chose to run her small Hotel Lambada non-stop and serve her customers food till very very late. 'In the night people eat a lot. During the day I had only a few customers. Nothing comes easy. One should not remain idle.' Your reporter is Jeff Mohammed.
Watch also the Bunge Mtaani debate in Majengo, where Majengo slum residents debate the pro's and con's of 24hr business in their area. With a population of ca. 150.000 people Majengo slum is highly affected by unemployment which leads to prostitution, insecurity, Hiv/Aids and idleness.

Rating: R
Length: 101 minutes
Release Date: December 3, 2010
Directed by: Andrew Jarecki
Genre: Crime / Drama / Mystery
"All Good Things" is a film loosely based on the true story of the disappearance of Kathleen Durst, the first wife of New York real estate scion Robert Durst. In the film, Robert Durst's character, David Marks, is played by Ryan Gosling. Kirsten Dunst plays David's young wife, Katie Marks. The film, which is based on news accounts, court records and conjecture about the unsolved crime, paints David as the instigator of a triple homicide. In the film, David ends his wife's life at their lake house after a fight and then plans the murder of his friend Deborah Lehrman, played by Lily Rabe. He then murders Malvern Bump, played by Philip Baker Hall, eliminating the two people who helped him cover up his wife's murder over the years.
The film follows the courtship of David and Katie, their wedding and the first happy years of their marriage as they escape David's domineering family in New York City. The couple moves to Vermont and starts a health food store called All Good Things. Eventually, the couple's happiness ends as David's father calls them back to New York so that David can take his rightful place in the family's real estate business. As David's family gains more influence over the couple, David's anger and emotional distance from his wife grow. Katie wants a family but soon learns that David does not. This leads her to have an abortion, which further distances the couple. As their marriage starts to crumble, Katie spends more time at the couple's weekend house and grows more independent as she starts medical school. David grows angrier, which eventually culminates in the fight in which he kills both Katie and their dog, Igor.
David waits four days to report Katie as missing to the police. During this time, his friend Deborah dons a blonde wig and goes to the couple's apartment in New York to pose as Katie in order to confuse the timeline of her disappearance. As the years pass, David becomes estranged from his family, and Deborah encounters financial difficulty. To help ease her plight, Deborah reaches out to her friend David for money to keep her quiet about what really happened to Katie. Rather than paying the hush money, David's friend Malvern takes it upon himself to murder Deborah for David so that she no longer poses a threat. When David discovers what Malvern has done, he worries that Malvern could tell his secrets to the authorities. David then murders Malvern, dismembers his body and tosses the pieces into Galveston Bay. David runs away and hides in Texas under the guise of a mute blonde woman.
Although the real life tale of murder was never solved, the film leads viewers to believe that David killed his wife, instigated the murder of Deborah and then killed Malvern. In reality, although Durst was a suspect in both his wife's disappearance and his friend's death, he was never formally charged with either crime. He was found guilty of killing his friend, Mr. Black, who was recreated in the film as Malvern, but a Texas jury ruled it as self-defense. The film does a brilliant job of linking all three murders together while also displaying David as a not unlikable character who is a victim of his environment as much as he is a cold-blooded killer. Viewers are treated to a fabulous performance by Gosling who effectively shows how David was molded into the person he becomes and then how he unravels emotionally and psychologically as the life he sets up following his return to New York with Katie begins to fall down around him.
"All Good Things" is a period piece that spans three decades, starting in 1970s Time Square and ending in the 2000s. By utilizing washed out colors and gritty textures, the filmmakers showcase the darkness of the tone of the film while working to remain true to the time periods during which the real story took place. The amount of research that Jarecki completed is also evident in the screenplay, which hinges on the audience seeing these characters as real people. Rather than simply settling for reading the written accounts of the crimes, Jarecki took it a step further and spoke to people who actually knew Robert Durst and his family during the time that his wife Kathleen disappeared. David's monologues also draw heavily from the actual court transcripts of Durst discussing his mother's suicide, his father's preference of his younger brother and his marriage to Kathleen, lending another element of realism and humanity to the fictional account of the story.
Although "All Good Things" is fiction based on real life, it gives viewers a sense of closure that the story of the real life crime never can. Director Andrew Jarecki takes a story that was highly sensationalized in the media and gives it a beautiful flow and continuity that the tale cannot receive in reality simply because it is unknown what happened to Kathleen Durst and if her disappearance is actually related to the murders of Susan Berman and Morris Black. The performances given by Gosling and Dunst show David and Katie in a realistic, humanizing way as the all too familiar couple who start out as young and in love and end up distant, angry and bitter, arguing over where it all went wrong. "All Good Things" shows the extremes that a person can go to for love and casts a new light on a disturbing real life crime that remains unsolved.

Healthy Habits with Abdi Assadi
Healthy Habits with Abdi Assadi
Inspired by people in the well-being and health industry, this is a look into their daily habits. Here we spoke with healer and Eyla contributor, Abdi Assadi.
Abdi is an acupuncturist, spiritual counselor and author. Raised in Africa, Asia and New York city, he has studied a range of healing practices including shamanism, psychotherapy and acupuncture. His work centers on helping his clients use their disease and dysfunction as a doorway to spiritual serenity. He presently divides his time between New York city and Upstate New York.
What do practices or habits do you incorporate into your routine to promote health & wellbeing?
I wake-up between 5:30 to 6am and do the same routine daily which consists of:
10 minutes of asanas including sun salutation and side twists
20 minutes of pranayam
20 minutes of meditation
10-15 minutes of martial arts
I tend to be on a regular sleep schedule, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day which is important.
The meditation I do is a mindfulness practice going through the body from the the head down to my feet to being the energy down and ground myself with awareness. When we think, the energy goes up and out, so this flows it in the opposite direction – into the body.
I make a shake daily and it changes depending on where my digestion is at. Usually is it 2 scoops of organic whey, 1 scoop of organic greens powder, an organic berry powder and a raw egg. I make this at room temperature, cold is not good for digestion in the morning. If my digestion is not 100 percent, I have cooked eggs instead and skip the shake. Listen to your body to know what it needs.
I have an extensive routine I do before I see patients and at the end of the day when my work is done. I prepare the treatment rooms with chanting, sage and sound using bells. I clear all the rooms energetically at the end of the day using the same method.
In the morning, I go through the name of my patients and meditate on what needs to be done. And in the evening, I go through all the names again, releasing them with my intent and intending for a healing for them. It is all mind, so I use mind to heal mind.
Lastly, at the end of the each day I intend to fully remember who I am. I release what no longer serves me and heal all that needs to be healed.
2. What would you recommend people incorporate into their routine?
Having a daily practice is important, whatever you do, but especially one where you sit with yourself in meditation. It is important to do it by yourself which allows you to hear your own voice and check on your emotional state. Then there is no external manipulation.

How can you change the photos in the photo strip on Facebook?
How can you change the photos in the photo strip on Facebook?
On your home page where the strip is, click on a photo that you don't want to show. The photo pops up and to the bottom right is a link that says "Remove from profile" - click that and it will refresh your Home page and the picture won't be showing.
Every picture in your album has this link to the bottom right that toggles between removing it or allowing it on your profile strip.
A new picture from your albums will be there. Apparently the picture strip automatically shows the last 5 pictures you uploaded.
The strip will always feature the last five images uploaded. To get the ones you want into the Facebook page photo strip all you need to do is create an album and upload the five images you wish to display, you don't have to publish the album.
change your profile picture with a picture you want to appear in your `picture strip`. Then you put your original profile picture up. You keep changing it with pictures you want on your picture strip until it is complete.
you go to the photo (edit photo) that you want in the filmstrip and you tag it (with your name, just select from dropdown), if you want to remove from photo strip then remove the tag from photo.
that's not entirely true. it will also show the last five pictures of yourself tagged. so if the pictures are already uploaded on facebook, you only need to tag yourself and they will show up on your strip.

I rarely get involved with politics but this set of party primaries have been energetic and polarizing. From the beginning I have thrown my hat in the ring in favor of one, Bernie Sanders. I've seen pretty much all the debates and believe him to be the right person in the Oval Office. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm Bernie or Bust but I'm a big fan to say the least. With that in mind, my fanfiction speculation powers have been machinating one particular scenario as to how this all plays out. I write this with the backdrop of watching way too much wrestling programming. And so I shall book the finale of the nomination as if it were the Monday Night Raw after a major PPV event for WWE (haven't seen enough of the other things to get a proper feel for their storytelling style). Think of it as a weird script. Here goes.
We open in Philadelphia, the last day of the Democratic Convention. Bernie Sanders and his fans have their spirits deflated, to say the east. Even after the mathematic impossibility of winning, the voters had come out to support him over the last few primaries. The 60/40 victory over Hillary in California was a shot of hope to the heart but ultimately, the lead of pledge delegates was too much to overcome. It was close but no cigar. Polls now had Trump edging towards victory in the general against Hillary but Bernie still being a clear favorite in hypothetical match ups. Super delegates had been meeting left and right to make their call but ultimately decided that taking the election away from "the mandate of the voters" so far would set a dangerous precedent.
The convention has been tumultuous but as Senator Sanders saw the writing on the wall, he told his supporters that this is a democracy first and foremost and it was time to face his counterparts as rivals but not as enemies. It was loud, chairs were lifted and put back down, a few points in the Democratic agenda had become more Bernie friendly, planting the seeds towards a more progressive future for the party and hopefully for the nation. They do a super delegate roll call to give their vote and they pretty much all go for Secretary Clinton. The vote stops semi awkwardly before some of the truly higher ups could give their support (including President Obama) as the magic number had been hit by then. The protesters were out in the street at this point and things were getting heated. Bernie slips out of the convention as Hillary Clinton is about to give her acceptance speech. Many call it a disrespectful snub but reporters quickly shift their call to one of praise as the Senator from Vermont gives an impassioned speech to the huddled masses to stave off the potential riot. The collective blood was cooled down from boiling points but the people are still rooting from Bernie.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz goes to the floor of the convention, says that the nomination process is finished but still needs to be officially ratified in the next seven days by the actual leader of the party, President Obama. Hillary Clinton goes out and gives a nice speech about party unity but the general atmosphere is still one of meh and business as usual. The convention is pretty much ending but the crowds are still out there. A few last minute meetings were taking place as the delegates start to leave and some address the media, about what just happened and asking about these cryptic new tweets by Donald Trump, who has been saying "wait for it…" for the last few hours. Bernie leaves the grounds and a few reporters try to come to him but the crowds cheer so loudly you can't cover the noise factor. A little later, Hillary comes out alongside Bill and Chelsea but also with a lot of Secret Service agents around them. The boos are clearly audible. The reporters try to get there to get a statement. A few people try to jump the barricades but they are quickly dissuaded by security but then a small group of people flash badges and go forward. The crowds go silent…
The group walks with determination towards the new nominee and the reporters and agents are scrambling to figure out what's going on.
"FBI, Mrs. Clinton you need to come with us. NOW!"
The reporters' microphones are close enough to get audio of what's transpiring. The Secret Service Agents take a step back, Bill is aghast, Chelsea is super quiet, and Hillary is LIVID!!! She starts telling the FBI agents that she's not going anywhere, that the investigation was already taken care of, and that they shouldn't be here. The lead agent declares that they need to go but she insists that she's not moving until they explain what's going. "A new source has come forward with some evidence against you". Hillary is getting into a Vicky Guerrero style fit as Bill tells her to calm down and just go with them, things will be resolved but she is having none of it. An FBI van comes in and Hillary begrudgingly gets into the back of the van. Bill immediately gets on the phone and starts calling everyone as they shoo the reporters away. As he and Chelsea walk briskly away, she stops and kneels to pick up a discarded "Sanders 2016" sign and she does a devilish grin like Stephanie McMahon.
Lots of police come immediately afterwards to preemptively disperse the crowds. Reporters are scattered trying to find out what just happened and all other politicians are nowhere to be found. And then, they have a call from the network HQ saying that there's a new Trump tweet: "Worth the wait. #ByeFelicia"
Over the next few days, the news media outlets are insane with speculations. Details are sketchy but things are coming out. A backup of the mystery email server was found, a few mostly inconsequential bits of information regarding national secrets are there. Enough to be suspicious, not enough for there to be a traitor declaration, except for Fox News who has basically proclaimed that Trump should already be President. Bernie Sanders is avoiding the press at all costs and the rest of the Democratic party is in a panic. By day three after the fiasco, more details emerge as the FBI investigation spreads and evidence towards the supposed conspiracy from the DNC against Bernie start to emerge and everyone is just in a state of confusion. Some voices are calling for the destruction of the party, others that Hillary still be the nominee no matter what.
The confusion and chaos are slightly quelled as President Obama calls for an emergency joint session of Congress and the Senate immediately to address what is going on and provide leadership to the DNC. It's only been a week since the FBI took her away but some suppose that Obama is going to just pardon Hillary immediately and let her run anyway, even if it means basically signing over the presidency to Trump as new polls put her in an abysmal situation. Pretty much every leader of the party at every level is there to see what happens. Donald Trump has declined to come as he has "huge, tremendous deal that needs to be sorted out." But even though all the people are there and things are about to start, a minorly bearded Bernie Sanders emerges to fulfill his duties as a Senator from Vermont. Whatever hopes and fears that he can run as an Independent have been stifled by the fact that most states' deadlines to appear on the ballots have passed. All of the minor outside political parties have also declared that Bernie is not welcome after declaring his support for the Democratic Party during the earlier convention.
Obama enters and he does his "My fellow Americans…" protocol. All of the television channels are carrying the event. A few minutes in, Obama explains what has transpired and sheds further light into the situation. He wants to keep talking but prefers that if he should say this part it should be clear and to the affected party's face. At that point, Hillary Clinton is escorted in to a chorus of murmurs as she walks in surround on all sides by agents that aren't exactly Secret Service. She's not handcuffed but you can tell the agents are there to make sure nothing crazy happens. Obama explains that:
"Democracy is the law of the land; it is the foundation by which this great nation was first established by the founders. I have arrived by this position by the trust of the American people when they voted for me and when they voted for each and every elected official in this room. It is a trust that has been fragile at best but now seems shattered. The people within the Republican party have done their primaries and while we may disagree over the candidate we do not question the process by which the people selected him. Fair is fair. On the Democratic side, the people have also voted and a clear majority have voted for Secretary Clinton as our nominee. This is what democracy has established and proclaimed. But, let me be clear, this process has been mired in controversy and the peoples' voices have been put into question. While these two people are the nominees for the position of President of the United States, it is still a position that I still hold and will use the powers of my office to regain the trust of all Americans. A decision that in the name of transparency I will take into effect right here and right now."
The people from Congress and the Senate suddenly start going crazy as to what's about to go down. Hillary has a confident grin as she believes that her salvation is upcoming. The murmurs continue as Obama pulls out a large envelope and he begins to speak once again.
"I have consulted with my Cabinet on various options as to what decision should be made. It has been made clear to me that I am well within the rights of my office to enact this action. With one stroke of a pen I can assure that democracy continues on the path that has been set already by the voters. HOWEVER, the duties of my position as President are to ensure that democracy as a whole can continue forward; not just for this upcoming election but for the one afterwards and the one after that so long as this nation continues to exist. And so I make this decision, not as the president of these United States of America but rather as head of the Democratic party."
Hillary's face turns pale as her jaw slightly drops. The confusion continues in silence as Obama opens the envelope.
"In my hands, I hold here the paperwork from the Democratic National Convention proclaiming our nominee. These forms need to ratified by me within one week after being completed by myself. And by my calendar, I still have a few hours to sign this. But since the super delegate votes weren't properly conducted and since all of you are already here… I propose a motion for a recount of these delegates to be done right here right now."
A formerly dejected Bernie Sanders springs to life with hope as within a few seconds after Obama says this, he stands up and screams. "I second that motion." Hillary screams for an objection, but Obama says, "I'm sorry but this is only open to debate by CURRENT senators and congressmen and women." The people go nuts with that comment but they forget to object as Obama waits a brief moment by saying, "Well with no objections let's start the recount. Let me start, I vote for Senator Bernie Sanders and I urge my colleagues to do the same."
An "I am Spartacus" moment emerges as each of the super delegates join in to vote one by one for Sanders, starting with Joe Biden who is super enthusiastic about it. Hillary tries to control herself but she is clearly seething as she asks her handlers to get her out of there. As all 700+ heads of the party proclaim their allegiance as their Republican counterparts are just in awe of what is happening. Obama ends that by saying that:
"Transparency and the law must be maintained for the trust of the people in our party and our government must be regained. And so I have asked the Department of Justice to join the FBI in their current investigation as to the issues regarding Secretary Clinton and that charges be filed as the case is resolved. Justice has been blind for far too long in avoiding the prosecution of those in power rather than the rule of law be equal to all. I will do everything in my power for the trust of the American people to be reforged with those they task with representing them and I urge the men and women on both sides of the aisle to do the same. God bless you and may God bless the United States of America."
PS. In case you were wondering, yes Chelsea was the new informant for the FBI in my above political speculative piece of fiction. I have this scene in mind where Hillary is in self imposed house arrest of sorts to avoid the media. The empire is starting to collapse. Bill and Hillary are in damage control, trying to contact people but their calls go unanswered. Chelsea comes to visit and is confronted with what is going on and why she isn't doing more to help. It's at this moment that the heir apparent says that maybe the ship is too far gone and just needs to sink. Bill says that everything they have done is for her and her future. Chelsea says that this isn't the future she wants. She's seen what power has done to her family and it needs to be stopped. Hillary is like what are you talking about and that's when she confesses to being the FBI's new lead. The parents stumble to their seats as they are aghast with this apparent betrayal. Chelsea says her piece about how power corrupts and she's already seen the changes to her family. Bill tries to claim that that's just how the system works but she answers that maybe we need a new system. Bill wants to stop her but says "you do what you think is right baby girl." As Chelsea says her goodbyes, Hillary screams "If you you leave this house right now then you might as well go to Hell!" Chelsea calmly responds without looking back. "Way ahead of you mom, I'm already feeling the Bern."
PSS Because dramatic tension and sequels, let's say that the post credits scene is Donald Trump in his office, looking at the news. Bernie is doing an interview as to how he will accept all current donations from the pro Hillary Super Pacs who now want to help for him since the money is already raised but that no other funds will be collected in that way during his run. Chris Christie comes in, the television is turned off. Trump says "can you believe this guy, turning down free money." Chris asks if he's worried about having to face Sanders now. Trump does his face of shrugging confidence and says come on I want to show you something. "I've got this plan for a huge overhaul of our embassy systems across the globe." He pulls up some computer files with badly photoshopped huge Trump signs on pretty much every major global landmark. The last one shown is the Trump moniker on the Great Wall of China.

What is a zero error policy?
Posted by Preston on 2009-08-11
In my book, I recommend that all businesses should adopt a zero error policy in regards to backup. I personally think that zero error policies are the only way that a backup system should be run. To be perfectly frank, anything less than a zero error policy is irresponsible in data protection.
Now, the problem with talking about zero error policies is that many people get excited about the wrong things when it comes to them. That is, they either focus on:
- This will be too expensive!
- Who gets into trouble when errors DO occur?
Not only are these attitudes not helpful, but they're not necessary either.
Having a zero error policy requires the following three rules:
- All errors shall be known.
- All errors shall be resolved.
- No error shall be allowed to continue to occur indefinitely.
You may think that rule (2) implies rule (3), and it does, but rule (3) gives us a special case/allowance for noting that some errors are permitted, in the short term, if there is a sufficient reason.
The actual purpose of the zero error policy is to ensure that any error or abnormal report from the backup system is treated as something requiring investigation and resolution. If this sounds like a lot of work, there's a couple of key points to make:
- When switching from any other policy to a zero error policy, yes, there will be a settling-in period that takes more time and effort, but once the initial hurdle has been cleared there should not be a significant ongoing drain of resources;
- Given the importance of successful backups (i.e., being able to successfully recover when required), the work that is required is not only important, but very easily arguably necessary and ethically required.
Let's step through those three rules.
All errors shall be known
Recognising that there must be limits to the statement "all errors shall be known", we take this to mean that if an error is reported it will be known about. The most simple interpretation of this is that all savegroup completion reports must be read. For the purposes of a NetWorker backup environment, any run-time backup error is going to appear in the savegroup completion report, and so reading the report and checking on a per-host basis is the most appropriate action.
There are some logical consequences of this requirement:
- Backups reports shall be checked.
- Recoveries shall be tested.
- An issue register shall be maintained.
- Backup logs shall be kept for at least the retention period of the backups they are for.
Note: By "…all savegroup completion reports must be read", I'm not suggesting that you can't automatically parse results – however, there's a few rules that have to be carefully followed on this. Discussed more in my book, the key rule however is that when adopting both automated parsing and a zero error policy, one must configure the system such that any unknown output/text is treated as an error. I.e., anything not catered for at time of writing of an automated parser must be flagged as a potential error so that it is either dealt with or added to the parsing routine.
All errors shall be resolved
Errors aren't meant to just keep occurring. Here's some reasonably common errors within a NetWorker environment:
- System fails backup every night because it's been decommissioned.
- System fails backup every night because it's been incorrectly configured for inclusive backups and a filesystem/saveset is no longer present.
- File open errors on Windows systems.
- Errors about files changing during backup on Linux/Unix systems.
There's not a single error in the above list (and I could have made it 5x longer) that can't be resolved. The purpose of stating "all errors shall be resolved" is to discourage administrators (either backup or individual system administrators) from leaving errors unchallenged.
Every error represents a potential threat to the backup system, in one of two distinct ways:
- Real errors represent a recovery threat.
- Spurious errors may discourage the detection of a real error.
What's a spurious error? That's one where the fault condition is known. E.g., "that backup fails every night because one of the systems has been turned off". In most cases, spurious errors are going to either come down to at best a domain error ("I didn't fix that because it's someone else's problem") or at worst, laziness ("I haven't found the <1 minute required to turn off the backup for a decommissioned system").
Spurious errors, I believe, are actually as bad, if not worse, than the real errors. While we work to protect our systems against real errors, it's a fact of life and systems administration that they will periodically occur. Systems change, minor bugs may surface, environmental factors may play a part, etc. The role of the backup administrator therefore is to be constantly vigilant in detecting errors, taking preventative actions where applicable, and corrective actions where necessary.
Allowing spurious errors to continually occur within a backup system is however inappropriate, and runs totally contrary to good administration practices. The key problem is that if you come to anticipate that particular backups will have failures, you become lax in your checking, and thus may skip over real errors that creep in. As an example, consider the "client fails because it has been decommissioned" scenario. In NetWorker terms, this may mean that a particular savegroup completes every day with a status of "1 client failed". So, every day, an administrator may note that the group had 1 failed client and not bother to check the rest of the report, since that failed client is expected. But what if another administrator had decommissioned that client? What if that client is no longer in the group, but another client is now being reported as failed every day?
That's the insidious nature of spurious errors.
No error shall be allowed to continue indefinitely
No system is perfect, so we do have to recognise that some errors may have a life-span greater than a single backup job. However, in order for a zero error policy to work properly, we must give time limits to any failure condition.
There are two aspects to this rule – one is the obvious, SLA style aspect, to do with the length at which an error is allowed to occur before it is escalated and/or must be resolved. (E.g., "No system may have 3 days of consecutive backup failures").
The other aspect to this rule that can be more challenging to work with is dealing with those "expected" errors. E.g., consider a situation where the database administrators are trialling upgrades to Oracle on a development server. In this case, it may be known that the development system's database backups will fail for the next 3 days. In such instances, to correctly enable zero-error policies, one must maintain not only an issues register, but an expected issues register – that is, noting which errors which are going to happen, and when they should stop happening*.
Zero error policies are arguably not only a functional but ethical requirement of good backup administration. While they may take a little while to implement, and may formalise some of the work processes involved in the backup system, these should not be seen as a detriment. Indeed, I'd go so far as to suggest that you can't actually have a backup system without a zero error policy. That is, without a zero error policy you can still get backups/recoveries, but with less degrees of certainty – and the more certainty you can build into a backup environment, the more it becomes a backup system.
[Ready for more? Check out the next post on this topic, Zero Error Policy Management.]
* In the example given, we could in theory use the "scheduled backup" feature of a client instance to disable backups for that particular client. However, that feature has a limitation in that there's no allowances for automatically turning scheduled backups on again at a later date. Nevertheless, it's a common enough scenario that it serves the purpose of the example.

Preston –
Excellent post.
The principles that you've outlined extend to far more than backups. In the general case, any process or application that fails for any reason needs to have the same principles applied.
I'd guess that in the last couple decades, the cases where I ignored a 'transient' error came back to haunt me more often than not.
2009-08-19 at 05:07
OK, then — being a total newbie to this theory, I had a look at my errors again, and they are usually errors along the lines of files changing during active backups.
How do I make this to NOT be an error? I can't stop the file from changing (or rather, I am not in a position to halt the process generating the change) and I do want to back up the file in one form or another.
So what do I do?

Many years ago, a friend suggested Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. I'd not read Tom Robbins before, and so filed his name away for sake keeping. Now, all these years later, I finished Cowgirls. Here are some thoughts:
No doubt, the novel is a reflection of its time. Published in 1976, its themes hold a mirror to the era: environmentalism, women's liberation, protest, the list goes on. In some ways, this was refreshing: Robbins knew just what he wanted to say, and he leveraged popular tropes to deliver the message. But on the other hand, I found this somewhat tiresome: the theme of spiritual enlightenment, for instance, was rather cumbersome (mostly because it was so familiar).
If I had my way, Cowgirls would have been shorter -- and a lot less zany. Because there's actually something going on here: there's a premise that's interesting, there are characters who are compelling. Sissy Hankshaw, especially, emerges as an alluring protagonist, as a compelling case study in the fractured notion of freedom. Ultimately, I wish there'd been more Sissy, and less prognostication from Robbins.
Robbins had some fun writing Cowgirls, and there are moments when he veers a bit too heavily in that direction. But as I say, there are passages where his writing pops, and where Sissy's adventures take on a three-dimensional quality. It's when Robbins packs these adventures too tightly with themes of the day that the narrative takes a turn toward the predictable, and that Sissy, however alluring, however vulnerable, is reduced (regrettably) to a side story.
If you've read the novel you'll know how much I'd like to give it two thumbs up, but it would have taken more focus on those thumbs for me to willingly grant that acclaim.

"It speaks to the high quality of the shortlisted stories that the judges' decisions were rarely straightforward – and it speaks to the high quality of the winners that none of the judges left the conversation unsatisfied by the choices we ended up with. These are engaging and moving stories that honour and understand the potential of the short story form to burrow in on intimate stories and also to give you vast canvases painted with precise strokes. They also reveal the extent to which human concerns cross borders while the ways in which those concerns are played out are always individual and specific." Kamila Shamsie, Chair, 2017 Commonwealth Short Story Prize.
Commonwealth Writers has partnered again with Granta magazine to give regional winners of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize the opportunity to be published by Granta online.
The stories will be published on www.granta.com every Tuesday from 30 May until 27 June, in order from East to West across the Commonwealth:
'The Death of Margaret Roe', Nat Newman – 30 May
'Drawing Lessons', Anushka Jasraj – 6 June
'Who is Like God', Akwaeke Emezi – 13 June
'The Naming of Moths', Tracy Fells – 20 June
'The Sweet Sop', Ingrid Persaud – 27 June
The overall winner will be announced in Singapore on Friday 30 June. Read more

LATHROP, Calif. — A suspected shoplifter reportedly drank an entire six-pack of beer inside a Target dressing room, police said.
Officers said a woman took her cart – and a six-pack of Stella Artois – into a dressing room and stayed there for over an hour Saturday afternoon.
After finishing the beers, the woman left the store with about $200 in merchandise without paying, police said.
The woman was later identified as Elysia Johnson. She was arrested and booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on suspicion of shoplifting and for three other warrants.

I really enjoyed the interaction between Niki and Holt. The chemistry was instantly off the charts. Angie and Clay are good support characters but my favorite is Cass, she is such a true solid best friend/room mate.
I was not sure in the beginning how things were going to get on track but once it did, what a ride. Niki was frustrating on occasion with her and how doubtful she was of herself. She is a very accomplished and kind person. I kept hoping she would figure out her own worth.
I was very frustrated with Holt as well because I felt he kept holding information from Niki. I loved Kilo and hope to read more about him. I am looking forward to reading more about Niki and Holt as well. I also can't wait to see where things lead for Cass, I hope we get to read her story also.

"The Trial of Krang, Part Three"
In Dimension X, Queen Maligna unleashes the full fury of her Malignoid Swarm on the planet Neutrino. Triceraton Commander Zom orders her fleet to take the front line and they're flanked by Zak, Kala, Ace Duck and a fighter unit he convinced to join his cause. Unfortunately, the Swarm is so huge, many Malignoids slip through.
On the surface of the planet, Dask rallies an army of Neutrino soldiers to defend the capital. He outfits the Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo with armor, jet-packs and energized weapons so they can help fight.
Meanwhile, Donatello and the Fugitoid guard the witnesses until the trial of Krang can resume. B'een gives off an early warning, but too late, as Hakk-R bursts in and attacks, outmatching Donnie one-on-one. Luckily, Polly's pollen blast stuns him and he runs back into Judge Gorath's quarters (where he'd killed the judge, earlier). Anemon out-muscles the weakened Hakk-R and subdues him just as Malignoids begin to invade the chamber. Leatherhead takes out some while the other Turtles swoop in and destroy the rest.
Knowing they'd need a plan to stop the invasion at its source, Donnie gets an idea from Polly's pollen. He asks if she could release all of her pollen at once, and she reveals that she can, but doing so would put her into a coma and she would have to return to her homeworld to rejuvenate. Donnie then convinces Stump to make a deal with Hakk-R who begrudgingly accepts.
Hakk-R then teleports onto Maligna's mothership and releases polly's pollen into the vent system. The hallucinagen causes Maligna to panic and withdraw her Swarm, ordering them to retreat. As the battle concludes, Donnie tells the others that he had Stump promise Hakk-R double what Krang was paying him, plus lifetime box tickets to Grappleganza.
The next day, the trial resumes, though King Zenter is called to preside in place of the late Judge Gorath. Leatherhead is called to the stand to testify and he relates the story of his origin and imprisonment on Earth by General Krang. His grievance has less to do with Krang's penchant for destruction but is instead aimed at his recklessness with creation, as Leatherhead resents being a freak of nature with cognizance of his existence.
General Krang is finally called to the stand and he defiantly admits to all of his actions, but proceeds to defend them. He insists that everything he did was for the survival of the Utrom race and asks King Zenter if he would not go to the same lengths to protect the Neutrino people. Closing statements are then made, as the Fugitoid relates the death of his family and his transformation at the hands of Krang and claims that there is no justification for genocide. The defense reiterates that Krang did what he had to do to save his people from extinction and that there is no way to play nice in war.
King Zenter leaves to ponder his verdict and the Turtles, royal family and witnesses are allowed into the courtroom to watch the verdict be delivered. Zenter soon returns and says that due to conflict of interest, he cannot pass judgment on Krang or sentence him on his own. Instead, he sought counsel from Ma'Riell of the Utroms, who has agreed to imprison Krang for life on Burnow Island, Earth. Lieutenant Kleve and Corporal Montuoro then enter through a portal to take Krang into custody. Enraged at the verdict, Leatherhead promptly EATS Krang and then escapes to Burnow Island through the portal.
The two startled Utrom guards admit to King Zenter that perhaps a quick death was a better end for the General than a lifetime in confinement and return to Burnow Island. Once there, they curse Leatherhead for taking their true leader from them and vow not to let Ma'Riell know what has happened. Instead, they will work to revive Colonel Ch'Rell and finish Krang's work.
Back on Neutrino, Zak and Kala gather up the witnesses and help them all get home. The Fugitoid decides to stay behind and help his people build a better defense against the Malignoids. Dask then helps the Turtles teleport back home.
Meanwhile, the royal family contacts Commander Zom to tell her that their bargain will be honored. Wanting to right the wrong the Utroms inflicted on the Triceratons by taking them from their homeworld long ago, he offers to teleport them all back to their proper dimension so they can return to Earth, where they belong. Zom and her forces then cross through the portal and disappear. Zenter hopes that all Earthlings are as kind as the Turtles and will find a place for their long-lost brethren.
On Earth, the EPF gets a warning of the invading Triceraton fleet and Agent Bishop is called to action.
Turtle Tips:
*This story is continued from TMNT (IDW) #74. The story continues in TMNT (IDW) #76.
*The events of the TMNT/Ghostbusters 2 miniseries take place between this and next issue.
*To celebrate the release of the 75th issue of the series, IDW partnered with local comic shops for a TMNT Day event. It was not widely promoted and very few shops in the country participated in the events. The TMNT Day 2017 Sampler special was released as a giveaway alongside this issue.
*This issue was originally published with 14 fucking variant covers: Cover A by Cory Smith and Ronda Pattison, Cover B by Kevin Eastman and Tomi Varga, Retailer Incentive by Ben Bates, AOD Collectibles Exclusive by Hal Laren, Comics and Ponies Exclusive by Eastman and Varga, Fried Pie Exclusive by Veronica Fish, Giant Robot Exclusive by Casey Coller, Knowhere Games & Comics/Brave New World Exclusive by Deth P./Jesse Heagy and David Baron, TMNT Day Exclusive by Jon Lam, Planet Awesome Collectibles Exclusive by Eastman and Joe Sinnot, Planet Awesome Collectibles Exclusive black and white version, Planet Awesome Collectives Exclusive by Humberto Ramos, and Planet Awesome Collectibles Exclusive blank sketch cover.
I can say that this finale to "The Trial of Krang" left me wanting for nothing. While the Turtles sort of sat out the previous installment, they got lots of action throughout this double-length finale. The witnesses, too, got their licks in and I don't feel anyone was particularly shortchanged.
The first thing I feel I should address is how they handled Hakk-R in this conclusion. He was introduced as being this unstoppable badass, but throughout the Dimension X miniseries, he got his ass kicked so much he sort of turned into a gag villain. I was curious how he was going to be portrayed in this finale; if his decay in threat would be acknowledged, and if so, how they would work that out. There's a happy compromise, as Hakk-R only goes up against Donatello in a solo match, and while Hakk-R may not be much of challenge for the Turtles in a group anymore, he can still trounce them one at a time. Polly winds up being the hero of that confrontation, in something of a surprise, and then Hakk-R and Polly kinda-sorta team-up to be the REAL saviors of the battle!
Actually, all the witnesses get their chance to contribute, with B'een sounding an alarm, Amenon and Eyemo subduing the poisoned Hakk-R and Stump using his influence to convince the mercenary to switch sides. And then there's Ace Duck, who skips out on the trial to fight the battle up in space. No one introduced throughout this rather long arc gets left behind and this is a conclusion that definitely feels like the sum of all its parts.
I suppose the only character who gets a bit skipped over is Queen Maligna. She's been a looming threat since this arc began, but she only appears for a few pages and is dispatched in a rather easy fashion. But in this case, I see her as being more of a tease for a future storyline; whenever the Turtles decide to return to Dimension X, she'll be the Big Bad that's waiting for them. And anyway, Krang using her to hedge his bets was a nice callback to TMNT Adventures #12, when he did the same thing.
The trial gets its due attention at the end of the book and the drama doesn't let up. Zenter taking Gorath's place was a great example of misdirection, luring the reader into assuming what his verdict would be only to give us something that we didn't even know was an option at the end. He's guilty, yes, but not to be sentenced by the Neutrinos, but by the Utroms. When Kleve and Montouro show up, you start to guess that we won't be seeing the last of Krang and then CHOMP. Nah, he's dead.
THAT was a kickass shocker and I ain't even a little bit mad. I think Krang's gotten about all the attention he deserves in the IDW series and the trial was a natural conclusion to his arc. And even so, with Ch'Rell waiting in the wings, we know that Krang's work isn't finished even if he's currently nothing but fragments in Leatherhead's stool. I'm curious how Ch'Rell will be characterized in this series to differentiate him from Krang, but we've probably got a long wait to see how that rolls out.
Zenter's naivete in turning the Triceratons loose on Earth was maybe a bit annoying, but when his only encounter with Earthlings was through the Turtles, I can see how he'd make the mistake that we're all as goody-goody as they are. Still, he maybe should've asked the Fugitoid for some counsel on human nature before setting a warrior race and their fleet of destruction on an unsuspecting planet. The next arc should be a good one.
Also, Commander Zom is apparently female. That makes her the SECOND female Triceraton in the franchise's history, coming in behind General Zera from the Half-Shell Heroes: Blast to the Past cartoon. Maybe someday we'll be able to count the number of female Triceratons on more than one hand. Maybe in another 30 years.
Anyhow, while I found the Dimension X miniseries stretch of this arc to be a little uneven, I think the ongoing's chapters of "Trial of Krang" were all superb. As a "milestone" issue, #75 perhaps lacks the game-changing feel of TMNT #50, but it still ends up being suitably big in terms of what it does to the landscape of the universe (or multiverse, I guess). Now, we all just have to dig in for that long march to TMNT #100. Can't wait.
