Increase of coal usage would greatly increase air pollution especially in areas surrounding the facilities many of which are located in communities of color and low-income.

# The unequal burden of coal plant pollution

Map from "Coal Blooded: Putting Profits Before People."

Nearly six million U.S. residents live within three miles of a coal-burning power plant — but those heavily polluting facilities are not distributed equally throughout the population.

As a new report from three racial justice advocacy groups shows, coal plants are disproportionately located in low-income communities and communities of color:

* People living within three miles of a coal plant have an average per capita income of $18,400 — significantly lower than the U.S. average of $21,587.

* While people of color make up 36 percent of the total U.S. population, they represent 39 percent of those living within three miles of a coal plant.

And coal plants in urban areas are overwhelming located in communities of color.

Those are among the findings of "Coal Blooded: Putting Profits Before People," a report by the national NAACP, the Minnesota-based Indigenous Environmental Network and Little Village Environmental Justice Organization of Chicago.

The study focuses on air emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution, which have been linked to health problems including asthma, lung inflammation, chronic bronchitis, heart conditions and birth defects.

"Coal pollution is literally killing low-income communities and communities of color," said NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous.

The report examines 378 coal-fired power plants based on what the report calls their "Environmental Justice Performance" — a score based on both pollution and demographic factors including race, income and population density.

It singles out 75 plants that get failing grades from an environmental justice perspective, meaning they have an especially disproportionate impact on low-income people and people of color.

While those plants produced just 8 percent of U.S. electricity in 2005, they accounted for 14 percent of the sulfur dioxide emissions and 13 percent of the nitrogen oxide emissions from U.S. power plants.

Of those 75 plants, 22 are located in southern states: five in Virginia, four each in North Carolina and South Carolina, three in Florida, two in Alabama, and one each in Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas.

Illinois leads the nation in failing plants from an environmental justice perspective, with nine.

The report also looked at the environmental justice performance of individual power companies, singling out 12 that received failing grades.

They include Charlotte, N.C.-based Cogentrix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group; Dominion Resources of Richmond, Va.; Duke Energy of Charlotte, N.C.; GenOn Energy of Houston; and Southern Company of Atlanta.

In terms of solutions, the report notes that emissions controls can "substantially mitigate public health damage" caused by coal-burning power plants.

However, it concludes that such controls are not enough.

"There is no silver bullet that will make these plants clean -- the only truly effective way to stop coal fired power plants from polluting the communities in which they are located is to close them," it states.

In order to do that, the report argues, anti-coal climate activists need to build bridges with and take direction from local environmental justice advocates and to be willing to modify their goals, strategies and messaging to better reflect those of communities most affected by coal plants.

Trump promised to revive the coal industry and bring back coal-related jobs. To fulfill his promise, on February 16, 2017, Trump signed a bill undoing the Stream Protection Rule signed during the Obama administration. This bill originally helped prevent coal mining from polluting waterways. Burning coal produces air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PMX), Black carbon, and smog.


The second Gigantour began during the third quarter of 2006; Megadeth again headlined, this time with Lamb of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy and Overkill.

# GIGANTOUR 2006 Announced: MEGADETH, LAMB OF GOD, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, OVERKILL Confirmed

The fast and furious traveling festival that was hailed last year by Revolver magazine as "the mother of all shred fests" will kick off its second year in early September.

Look for the tour — the brainchild of MEGADETH frontman Dave Mustaine — to launch in the Northeast and to work its way through 25 major markets before wrapping in mid-October, with Xbox's "Gears of War" sponsoring the trek.

MEGADETH will return as the festival headliner on a bill that includes fellow heavy-hitters LAMB OF GOD, plus OPETH, ARCH ENEMY, OVERKILL, INTO ETERNITY, SANCTITY and THE SMASHUP all confirmed for these mostly outdoor shows.

Other second stage artists will be announced soon.

Mustaine personally hand-picks all the Gigantour bands, with a sharp eye on true musicianship.

He says Gigantour is a great place for like-minded music fans to see a full day of music on two stages without breaking the bank, and he's glad the tour is back in '06.

"This is the concert that I, as a heavy metal music fan, would want to see," says Mustaine.

"It is going to be something to look forward to each year, to see what kind of tremendous talent we can assemble, for Gigantour festivals in the years to come."

LAMB OF GOD's Mark Morton says, "MEGADETH is one of the main reasons I started playing metal guitar in the first place.

To finally tour with them is really exciting and it's a great way to start off our world tour supporting 'Sacrament'.

We've been dying to get the new material up and running on the live stage.

We've worked so hard on the new record — it's really a great sense of accomplishment to see the new tunes come to life in a live setting.

We're really looking forward to this one."

The group's Chris Adler says, "Teaming up with MEGADETH on Gigantour is a metal dream come true.

The lineup represents some of the most proficient metal bands and players from across the world and we are looking forward to joining forces and kicking ass.

We're planning on a nice long set, introducing a lot of new and very heavy material from 'Sacrament' as well as keeping the brutal live tracks from our previous albums.

We can't wait to take the stage and destroy it."

Last year's inaugural Gigantour was a six-week trek that was hailed by the Miami Herald for featuring "only bands whose musicianship matches their ability to melt faces with sheer volume and power."

The Orange County Register agreed, saying, "...it does a heart good to see Mustaine able to buck the chameleon trend of rock and stay firm to his ideals, keeping the music the priority and not the image."

As for joining forces with Gigantour, Craig Davison, Director of Global Games Marketing for Xbox, says, "We're totally jazzed about the partnership between Gigantour 2006 and our forthcoming Xbox 360 blockbuster, Gears of War!

Partnering a music extravaganza like Gigantour with the launch of a mega-hit game like Gears of War captures the excitement around two awesome happenings for fans of music and video games!"

Gears of War is a blockbuster video game exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system that blends tactical action with survival horror.

Gears of War thrusts gamers into a harrowing story of humankind's epic battle for survival and is available this holiday.

In other Gigantour news, Image Entertainment will release two-DVD and two-CD sets of Gigantour 2005, which included MEGADETH, DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY, ANTHRAX, NEVERMORE, LIFE OF AGONY, SYMPHONY X, DRY KILL LOGIC and BOBAFLEX.

The CD is out August 22, with the DVD hitting stores September 5 — just in time for this year's tour.

Megadeth headlined the inaugural tour with acts such as Dream Theater, Nevermore, Anthrax, and Fear Factory. Performances at the Montreal and Vancouver shows were filmed and recorded for a live DVD-and-CD set released in the second quarter of 2006. On October 9, following the successes of "The System Has Failed" and the Blackmail the Universe world tour, Mustaine announced to a sold-out crowd at the Pepsi Music Rock Festival in Argentina that Megadeth would continue to record and tour. The concert, held at Obras Sanitarias stadium in Buenos Aires in front of 25,000 fans, was filmed and released on DVD as "That One Night: Live in Buenos Aires" in 2007.
 In February 2006, bassist James MacDonough left the band over "personal differences". He was replaced by James LoMenzo, who had worked with David Lee Roth, White Lion, and Black Label Society. The new Megadeth lineup made its live debut headlining the Dubai Desert Rock Festival in the United Arab Emirates with Testament. In March, Capitol released a two-disc DVD, "Arsenal of Megadeth", which included archive footage, interviews, live shows, and many of the band's music videos. Due to licensing issues, soundtrack and non-Capitol videos were not included.

# These are the three bodies found in Notts which have never been identified

The cases will not be closed until police know who they are

Every month, around 15 bodies are found in the UK which are not identifiable.

Sometimes these cases will be solved, perhaps through DNA discoveries, or as the families of missing people come forward to claim the bodies of their loved ones.

But sadly there are three bodies which have been discovered in Nottinghamshire which have never been identified.

Two were found in the River Trent and the third was discovered in Beckingham.

Here are the cases which police still hope to be able to solve:

The remains of a man, believed to be aged between 23 and 57, were found in a caravan in a rural location in Beckingham on March 13, 2014.

He was found in a caravan at the back of a derelict farm building that had not been used for years.

There was an advanced state of decomposition and police believe the body had been there for longer than six months.

Detective Inspector Ash Wilson next to the caravan in Beckingham where the body of a man was discovered in March 2014

Following a post mortem examination, the force was reasonably content the male had died of natural causes – either after a tragic accident or following an underlying medical condition.

The area was known for migrant farming workers and the male was wearing jeans which are not readily available in the UK, but can be found in Eastern Europe.

In a bid to trace the man's family, police took his fingerprints to Interpol, launched a media appeal in several different languages and circulated a facial reconstruction image.

A man's body was found in a caravan at this site in Beckingham on March 13, 2014

The police force also attempted to determine the origins of the fillings in the man's teeth and took a sample of bone marrow for DNA - but it did not narrow down their search.

The man was buried in an unmarked grave in Worksop.

The decomposed body of a man was found floating in the River Trent in Cottam on July 15, 1987.

It is believed the man, aged between 50 and 60, had been in the water for several weeks.

He was also possibly wearing swimming trunks.

His hair was described as fair and greying and he had stubble as well as false teeth.

The man was 178cm in height and had a stocky build.

### Latest news from Nottingham's courts

On April 21, 1981, the decomposed body of a man, believed to be aged between 40 and 55, was found in the River Trent.

It is believed the man, of a stocky build, had been in the water for at least four weeks.

He was wearing a maroon crew neck jumper with elbow and shoulder patches and a dark blue T-shirt with blue Levi jeans.

He was also wearing size nine black shoes.

According to the Missing Persons Bureau, the man had £31.97 in cash on him, as well as a white pen knife, Yale key and a small suitcase.

Detective inspector Ash Wilson, of Nottinghamshire Police, told the Post the force would never fully close an unidentified missing person's case.

He said: "Because of advances in DNA, no one knows what that will bring in the future.

We were unaware of its existence until 1989 and as a force, we didn't start actively profiling people until around 1994."

Notts Police issued this e-fit in a bid to help identify a man found dead in a caravan in Beckingham in 2014

The three cases above are listed by the National Crime Agency UK Missing Persons Bureau, which aims to publicise information about unidentified people and remains to help maximise the chances of identification.

A spokesman for the organisation said: "Each month we record around 15 unidentified body cases and we have about 1,000 cases on our database.

"It is hoped the website will empower families of missing people to play an active part in searching for their loved ones and bring vital closure if they are identified."

# Per Mertesacker to lead Arsenal academy

We are delighted to announce that club captain Per Mertesacker will become our academy manager in a year's time.

For the coming season, he will continue as an important part of our squad while developing his knowledge and understanding of the Academy.

Manager Arsène Wenger said: "Per is an exceptional character who is a great example for young players.

He is a deep thinker about the game and committed to helping players fulfil their potential.

He will be an inspirational figure for everyone connected with the academy."

Per said: "This is the start of an exciting new chapter for me and I am delighted that I will be able to stay part of the Arsenal family.

This season I will remain fully focused on my job with the team and am looking forward to a successful last season on the pitch.

After that, I look forward to the exciting challenge of helping produce young players good enough to play for the Arsenal first team."

During the coming season the academy will be led by Luke Hobbs, who has done an outstanding job since the departure of Andries Jonker to manage Wolfsburg last spring.

Chief executive Ivan Gazidis said: "At Arsenal, we believe in developing young players to their full potential and giving them an opportunity to shine.

I am delighted that Per will take on this role.

He understands the club's values, he knows what it takes to win at the top level and he will be the ideal person to drive the academy forward when he takes on the role next year."

"1987" was met with mixed reviews in most of the major British music publications, including "Melody Maker", "NME", "Sounds", and "Q", and the album came to the attention of the management of Swedish pop group ABBA: The JAMs had sampled large portions of the ABBA single "Dancing Queen" on the track "The Queen And I". A legal showdown with ABBA and the Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) followed, "1987" was forcibly withdrawn from sale, and The JAMs were ordered to "deliver up the master tape, mothers, stampers and any other parts commensurate with manufacture of the record".
 King Boy D and Rockman Rock travelled to ABBA's home country of Sweden, in the hope of meeting with ABBA personally, taking an "NME" journalist and photographer with them, along with most of the remaining copies of the LP and a gold disc of the album. Failing to find ABBA in residence at Polar Studios in Stockholm, they instead presented the gold disc to a blonde prostitute they pretended was Agnetha "fallen on hard times." Of the original LP's stock, some copies were disposed overboard on the North Sea ferry trip across, and the remainder were burned in a field in Gothenburg before dawn (as shown on the cover of their next album, "Who Killed The JAMs?"). The JAMs also played a recording of "The Queen and I" loudly outside the offices of ABBA's record label, Polar Music. The trip was unexpectedly eventful, the JAMs accidentally hitting and killing a moose, and later being shot at by a farmer, a bullet cracking the engine of their Ford Galaxie police car.

She spoke out in support of Michelle Williams, who received lesser pay than her co-star Mark Wahlberg for the 2017 film "All the Money in the World", which Williams said led to greater awareness about the issue and a donation worth $2 million to the Time's Up legal defense fund.

(meta data) TITLE: Michelle Williams Felt 'Paralyzed' During Pay-Gap Scandal

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/Vulture

# Michelle Williams Recalls How Helpless She Felt During Pay-Gap Scandal: 'No One Cared'

You didn't need to be a fancy mathematician to realize the shocking extent of Michelle Williams's and Mark Wahlberg's pay gap for All the Money in the World, which came to light last year when the two were in the midst of reshoots for the film.

Wahlberg was paid $1.5 million to return to set for about a week-and-a-half, while Williams received a paltry $80 per diem in comparison.

(Not to mention, Wahlberg was already paid eight times more than Williams to begin with, despite their equal billing.)

Wahlberg ultimately donated the entirety of the sum to Time's Up and Williams expressed gratitude at the time, but the actress is now admitting that the controversy surrounding the pay gap became a defining moment in her life, saying she was "paralyzed in feelings of futility" when the news broke.

"Guess what, no one cared," Williams said during a speech in Washington, D.C., yesterday.

"This came as no surprise to me, it simply reinforced my life-learned belief that equality is not an inalienable right and that women would always be working just as hard for less money while shouldering more responsibility at home.

I've been a working actress since the age of 12.

I've been accredited by my industry at the highest levels and that still didn't translate to equal compensation."

It was only when her good pal Jessica Chastain tweeted about the issue, Williams recalled, that she started to see any significant action begin to take shape.

"Jessica's audience was much wider than mine, and she wasn't afraid to pick up a megaphone and be heard.

"There was an uproar and a public shaming within my industry that resulted in a $2 million donation to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund."

(WME, the talent agency that represents both Wahlberg and Williams, also donated $500,000.)

As for if the scandal affected the way she chooses future projects, Williams is already seeing conscious, behind-the-scenes action: "On the job I just completed two weeks ago.

Let me tell you something, I was paid equally with my male co-star."

Chastain is a feminist, and has often spoken against the discrimination faced by women and minorities in Hollywood. She wrote an opinion column on gender imbalance in the industry for a December 2015 issue of "The Hollywood Reporter". At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where she served as a jury member, Chastain bemoaned the passive portrayal of women in most films. She has complained about a lack of female film critics, which she believes hinders a gender-neutral perspective on film. Chastain advocates for greater gender balance on sets, including more representation of women on film crews and in positions of power. On social media, Chastain aims to "amplify the voices" of victims of sexual harassment in the industry. In 2018, she collaborated with 300 women in Hollywood to set up the Time's Up initiative to protect women from harassment and discrimination. In the same year, she appeared alongside several actresses in "This Changes Everything", a documentary about the poor representation of women in Hollywood films.
 Chastain is vocal in her support for equal pay in the workplace, and has rejected offers of work that she thought were unfair.


In November 2015 he finished clear first in the 6th Iberoamerican championship in Bilbao, winning this tournament for the second time.

GM Lazaro Bruzon wins 6th Ibero-American Championship | Chessdom

## GM Lazaro Bruzon wins 6th Ibero-American Championship

The Cuban Lazaro Bruzon has proclaimed this afternoon in Bilbao, the new Ibero-American chess champion after ending in a tie with the young talent Alan Pichot in a direct duel, in this last day.

The Cuban has not suffered too much in this game because the Argentinian soon accepted the fact of ending in a tie.

Official website/ LIVE games with analysis/ Standings and statistics

This result has disrupted the final standings: Pichot, who have had the option to win the championship, was then put into fourth place after the tie.

While the Latin-American 2008 champion, Julio Granda has passed over him and obtain the second post in the championship, after winning his game against the Argentinian talent, Peralta.

To establish the final resume, the main referee Alvaro Soto, has had to make estimates of the results achieved together by the players; because there have been up to five, who tied with 7 points, including the representative of the Basque chess, Gabi Del Rio, who has finally been better local chess.

On the last day of the 6th Ibero-American Chess Championship just half a point separated the Cuban and Argentina, first and second respectively in the standings.

That difference is what allowed the Cuban obtain a draw with the black pieces and, on the contrary, pressing the 16 world runner-up champion, with the initial advantage of playing with white, victory over his opponent as sole a result that gave him the championship.

Before the start of the final match, specialists crossed bets on the final result, and the vast majority bet the outcome to be a tie, not by a statistical issue most likely result among players of similar level, but by the apparent sport dilemma which Pichot a priori struggled with: go for the winning of the match in order to get the victory, with the risk of losing, or play for tables, as it was the minimum result he needed to leave Bilbao today as International Grandmaster.

However, doubts were quickly dispelled by the Spaniard first move with which Argentinian stated a declaration of principles for a long game and decided to go against everything of his opponent, and his coordinated and organized black pieces; this technique is known in the Spanish slang as the "Spanish torture", consisting of trying to go slowly undermining Bruzón´s defences.

The initial attack of the Argentinian was however weakened in around twenty moves, losing the initiative on the queenside, where he had focused its offensive.

And from there, the game was mired as a resigned exchange of blows and pieces that led to the tie.

With this result, Bruzón got for the second time, the Latin-American Title, and Pichot got the certificate of International Grandmaster, allowing him from now on, to get into the chess elite competing for the absolute world title.

Both recognized at the end of the decisive game that the result has been obvious because Bruzón was played, in his words, in a "peaceful" way, in order to ensure the tie, and Pichot has recognized that its primary objective by participating at the Ibero-American Championship, was achieving brilliant results that would lead him to obtaining the title of grand master, and so it proved.

With his victory today the Cuban Grand Master is the only chess player to have won twice the Latin American title, since it was also the first champion in the 2006 edition, which was also played in Spain.

In successive editions of 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014, the winners were the Peruvian Julio Granda, Brazilian Gilberto Milos, the Spanish Ivan Salgado and champion until today, the Paraguayan Axel Bachmann.

Born in the city of Holguin in 1982, the world junior champion in 2000, was also absolute national champion in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

However, since that first win at the Iberoamerican distant 2006, in his sporting career Bruzón has been irregular up to his new victory today.

Despite his youth, the Bonaerenesen player (a province in Argentina), born in 1998, has had time, in addition to proclaim himself today as the Ibero-American champion, to win last year´s in South Africa World Cup as the 16th runner-up, and to become, at the age of 15, the youngest international chess master in Argentine history.

The great sporting disappointment has featured the Spanish chess player, Paco Vallejo, a priori the great favourite and finally disappearing anonymously half of the table away, despite the victory today against the Andorran player De la Riva, as a nice farewell.

The outcome of the Ibero-American Championships has been exciting to the very end, as was the VIII Final Masters Bilbao Grand Slam, which ended last Sunday and was also decided on the final day in the direct duel against the board confronted the American So and the Dutch Giri, and continued in an agonizing playoff definitely won by So.

In the VI Individual Ibero-American Championship there is a total of 92 payers, that belong to 16 associated countries with the Ibero-American Federation of chess: Andorra, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Spain, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.

So has taken the winning title of the after the final of Bilbao Masters Final to the five times world champion and current world runner-up, Viswanathan Anand.

Before both of them, we can mention as Bilbao Masters Final two time champions to each of these players; the world number one and double world champion, Norwegian Magnus Carlsen, and double Olympic champion, Armenian Levon Aronian.

In order to complete the list, we can mention the Bulgarian Veselin Topalov, who won the first edition in 2008 and his great rival and "intimate enemy", Russian Vladimir Kramnik, who won in 2010.

The VI Iberoamerican Individual Chess Championship was played at the Champs Elysees Theatre of Bilbao since last October 26.

The competition has been developed simultaneously with the VIII Final Masters Grand Slam, the other big event of the Bilbao Chess 2015, which ended two days ago, on Sunday, November 1, with the victory in the rapid games of the tie breaker of the US Wesley So against Dutch Anish Giri on.

Bilbao Chess 2015 ended today with the closing ceremony in which Lazaro Buzón has been crowned with a popular beret, a typical hat in the Basque Country for distinguished champions.

Mikel Alvarez, coordinator of Mayor´s Cityhall and councilor for the City of Bilbao Organization, has been the one to give away the trophy.

As in previous editions, the two competitions have been streamed live on the Internet through the official website of the event, www.bilbaochess2015.com, and the main international portals of chess.

In this way, two comics were merged with the original "Eagle", "Swift" in 1963 and "Boys' World" in 1964, before the "Eagle" itself came to an end when it was merged with "Lion" in 1969.

(meta data) TITLE: Eaglution of British Comics, part 1 – Rusty Staples – Mike Writes About Comics!

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/WordPresscom

Everything you ever needed to know about comics (limited to the stuff that I know and am willing to tell you)!

As I mentioned before (in Deciphering the Logo), in 1969 the legendary British comic Eagle ended its nineteen-year run when it was absorbed into Lion, which was then absorbed into Valiant in 1974, which was in turn gobbled up by Battle in 1976, and then in 1988 it all came full-circle when Battle was consumed by the '80s incarnation of Eagle.

But that's just the reduced, condensed, shortened and abbreviated version of the story.

Each of those comics absorbed others along the way (Action was merged into Battle, for example), so here's a fuller version of the graph:

And yet, this is by no means the fullest version of the graph because many of these comics here also absorbed others.

Valiant consumed four titles other than Lion.

And Tiger, before it was gobbled up by the 80s Eagle, absorbed six different titles, one of which was The Champion, which was launched in 1922 and itself consumed three titles…

I have plundered the archives, delved into history, and gone to very great lengths and back, many, many, many times (but in fairness one of those times was because I forgot my hat) in order to explore the deepest roots and outermost twigs of the Eagle family tree… Just so you don't have to.

So here's the full — as far as I can tell — Eagle comic family tree.

Please note that information on some of the earlier titles can be very hard to find, and is occasionally contradictory, but I'm a good 96.3ish% sure that this is complete and accurate!*

This is the smallenised version of the chart… click upon it for appropriate enlargification!

Richard Sheaf of the excellent Boys' Adventure Comics blog has done some sterling investigative work and come up with what we believe to be the definitive and correct number of issues of the original Eagle comic: 987, as opposed to 991 which appears in most sources.

However, all of those sources very likely got the figure of 991 from one of Denis Gifford's many books on British comics, which is also where I got it from.

I've now updated the chart appropriately!

I've just discovered that the issue-count for Battle Picture Weekly was incorrect: it was 673 issues, but all evidence suggests that it should be 664.

*Which, naturally, means that I am probably setting myself up for a deluge of additions and corrections from people who are far more knowledgeable than I.

But that's cool — just as long as no one asks me to produce a new version of this any time soon.

Thank you so much for doing this, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing part 2 if there is one

I do have more comic family trees in preparation – most of them aren't nearly as impressive as the Eagle tree, though!

Great work, even though I mainly follow girl's comics it's still interesting to see just how many boy's titles there were, it's quite an impressive family tree!

Some of the upcoming family trees do focuses on girls' comics — which are sorely neglected on the web!

It's amazing, just one time correction, there were 979 issues of the original Eagle

typo, sorry – 984 issues, thanks Richard

Can you tell me why you believe 984 to be the correct figure?

The International Book of Comics (Denis Gifford, 1984), The Complete Catalogue of British Comics (Gifford again, 1985), Penny Dreadfuls and Comics (Bethnel Green Museum of Childhood) all list Eagle's issue-count as 991 (as do Wikipedia and Comic Vine).

http://www.comicpriceguide.co.uk also has 987 at the top of the entry, but 997 further down.

The Grand Comics Database at comics.org give us 455 Hulton issues, followed by 532 Longacre issues, for a total of 987.

Now I know why a lot of sites don't mention the issue-count at all!

good question…the answer'll be on my blog tomorrow – (I'll send a link) but, yeah, you can see why people don't want to get into issue counts – too complex!

i was a devoted reader of the 1982 Eagle from issue 7 but moved over to 2000ad about 1989, I felt it started to loose the focus when Battle was merged.

I wonder was their ever a suggestion in editorial, that it might itself merge with 2000ad before it finally closed?

I can imagine that by the time it was cancelled in 1993 (With the last issue having the cruel cover date of January 1, 1994) Eagle had very little left to offer 2000 AD.

After it was relaunched as Eagle Monthly in mid-1991, the book had been almost entirely reprints of older material for two and a half years.

Only two of its strips, Dan Dare and Computer Warrior were actually new material, and both of them were at a stage where they skewed towards younger audiences then where 2000 AD was then at.

Adding either of them to 2000 AD would have likely been detrimental to the title as a whole.

The end result of this is that Doomlord can't be used in Vigilant.

Not sure what it was called at the time it merged, but I used to get Battle Action Force rather than Battle Action (don't know at what point the 'Force' was added – possibly in the first issue I bought, because I bought Action Force as well as Star Wars figures at the time).

The last issue I remember buying was the one where an aged Adolf Hitler, hiding out in South America, makes an appearance in one of the Action Force stories.

In the twentieth century it was standard practice in the British comics industry to merge a comic into another one when it declined in sales. Typically, three stories from the cancelled comic would continue for a while in the surviving comic, and both titles would appear on the cover (one in a smaller font than the other) until the title of the cancelled comic was eventually dropped.


In 2018, Australian former series' champions Will Power won the race after a decade of participation as the first Australian to win the 500, whereas his Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud repeated that feat, becoming the first French winner of the race in 2019 after a last-lap duel with 2016 winner Rossi.

# Simon Pagenaud wins 103rd running of Indianapolis 500 over Alexander Rossi

Simon Pagenaud won the 103rd Indianapolis 500 on Sunday afternoon by 0.2086 seconds over Alexander Rossi to become the 21st pole-sitter to win the race and the first since 2009.

Pagenaud beat out Rossi, the 2016 winner, and third-place finisher Takuma Sato, the 2017 winner, in a close race that featured multiple lead changes but only two crashes.

Pagenaud held off Rossi during a thrilling final lap of the contest, where the French racing veteran moved back and forth in front of Rossi at speeds exceeding 200 mph, refusing to allow his American rival to pass despite multiple attempts on his part to take the inside.

Their final lap was a photo finish between two of the top drivers in all of the 2019 IndyCar Series.

Coming into the race, Pagenaud won the pole position on the inside where he started out in front of last year's winner and heavy favorite, Will Power, who began in the sixth position on the outside and finished fifth.

Pagenaud shared the first row with Ed Carpenter and Spencer Pigot, while Power shared the second row with Ed Jones and Colton Herta, the first driver in Indy 500 history to be born in the 2000s.

 Previous winner Montoya had returned to IndyCar competition and secured a 2015 win to make himself a two-time winner with a fifteen-year gap between the triumphs. The event saw Canadian James Hinchcliffe survive a life-threatening impact in practice. The 2016 race saw another American race winner, when rookie Alexander Rossi stretched his fuel mileage to record an upset win in a race where had been off the leaders' pace.
 The 2017 race saw former Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso take off from the Monaco Grand Prix to take part in a one-off event, being highly competitive up front before his engine blew. The races' polesitter and 2008 winner Scott Dixon escaped a huge airborne crash largely unhurt. In spite of heavy crashes, the speedway had now gone more than 20 years without a fatality as the SAFER barriers and the enhanced IndyCars absorbed more of the violent impacts. The race was eventually won by Takuma Sato, who became the first Japanese and Asian winner of the event.
