Filipino artist Kerby Rosanes creates hyper-detailed doodles using only his black pens. His magical doodle world is characterized and inspired by whimsical elements (patterns, lines, and characters) combined together to produce beautiful and intricate illustrations.
Here are some of Rosanes’ best works:
The King’s Awakening │ Kerby Rosanes
Coronation │ Kerby Rosanes
Ascension │ Kerby Rosanes
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. I believe this piece was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s 1984 Japanese post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure film of the same title.

All's fair when it comes to love and war. The ends justify the means, right?
The following tales are true. Names have been changed to protect the guilty. Remember, there are lies, damn lies, and then there are relationships.
For two months, my indie-rocker college pal Mick wooed Jaynea fashion design student with blonde hair, leopard fur, and lots of eyeliner framing her peepers. "Her eyes, David. Look at those acid blue eyes!" he used to whisper to me. Finally, at a party he presented her with a poem all about her vision things. I can't remember it now, but I'm sure the word "cerulean" was in there somewhere. Mick and Jayne moved in together. His pet name for her? "Blue-eyed angel." Only thing is, Jayne's eyes were secretly brown. The magic of colored contacts! Eight months later, she still hadn't revealed her true retinal shade. "My eyes are darker in the morning," she sometimes claimed. Finally, on a vacation, Mick discovered the secret saline solution. Tears were shed, or perhaps Jayne's contacts were just dirty, and he reassured her that he still loved her. Eventually they split due to "artistic differences." But guess what color eyes Mick's next girlfriend had?
One afternoon, I listened to a talk show tale of a young man who had lost his virginity to a pretty, and quite tall, woman named Erica. They married and romped in the sheets for six months before Erica revealed that she was born...(drumroll, please) Eric! The young buck didn't just take the news with stride, he seemed rather pleased with his unwitting deviance and patted Erica's doctor on the back.
At 17, I was the only virgin I knew. (Or so I thought.) But as they say, don't ask don't tell. So I didn't. One night I was home alone with my new, and more-experienced, girlfriend. The time was right. We began slowly, but the excitement of finally doing the dirty deed got the best of me. The moment (and I) came and went in a flash. "I haven't been with anyone in a long time," I whispered. My sweetie didn't seem to care. She just reached for another condom.
The summer I turned 18, my new pal Seth was digging this cute goth girl named Starla. She always dated the older guys thoughthe ones whose bands had moved from playing the basement of their crash-houses to the basements of seedy clubs. One night though, Seth and I were going to see Siouxsie play and somehow he convinced Starla to be his date. When Seth was in the bathroom applying his eyeliner, Starla and I got on the subject of Jane's Addiction. She was a big Jane's fan, even before Nothing's Shocking came out. Starla got really excited when she told me that she had recently acquired a Jane's bootleg that included the band covering a Bauhaus song.
Me: "I have that tape too! Isn't it awesome?"
Starla left the Siouxsie show with a roadie. Seth and I grew apart. Quickly.
Starla: "So rare. Perry at his finest. Did Seth dub it for you?"
Me: "No, Seth and I were at a cheesy record convention last week and we each chipped in $5 to buy the tape from some guy."
Starla: "Really? Seth told me he recorded the tape directly from the mixing board when he was on tour with Jane's last year!"
Me: "Oh that tape. I was thinking of a different one."
In college, I crushed on a cute girl who was a serious activist type. Julie sported anti-apartheid and "Visualize World Peace" buttons on her backpack. She had amnesty fliers in her hands at all times, ready to be thrust into anyone's open hands. I may not be Abbie Hoffman, I thought, but I once wrote an article on Amnesty International for the college paper! I could talk the talk! And so I did. She ranted about political injustices. I listened, nodded, and flipped through her books looking for explicit descriptions of torture devices. She invited me to an Amnesty meeting. "I have to study tonight, but I'd love to get involved. Why don't we meet for coffee tomorrow and talk about it?" Two weeks and dozens of pots of coffee later, nothing was progressing except for her politics. Even though I supported Julie's causes, I was forced to admit to myself that rather than protest outside the co-op on a cold afternoon, I'd rather be home watching Mystery Science Theater and eating pizza. "Let's just be friends?" I offered. She snorted and said "You don't mean that. I've invited you to every Amnesty event since we met and you never came to any. David, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." I think she joined the Peace Corps.
I don't lie to the current love of my life. I've tried, but Kelly can always tell because I invariably giggle when I'm fibbing. I'm a bad actor. But I'm a good boyfriend.

The important work of Trinity graduate Natalie Wilson ’03, who co-founded, with her sister-in-law, a nonprofit, Black and Missing Foundation, is the focus of a new four-part documentary on HBO: “Black and Missing.”
The 4-part documentary was first broadcast on November 23 and 24 and is now streaming on HBO Max. Natalie Wilson earned her master of arts in communication from Trinity in 2003. In addition to her successful career in public relations, she applies her communication skills every day to her work with the Black and Missing Foundation, “which brings awareness to missing persons of color, provides vital resources and tools to missing person’s families and friends, and educates the minority community on personal safety.” You can read more about Natalie Wilson here.
Watch the HBO trailer here and read this review: “Black and Missing’ Review: HBO Series Can’t Make Up for the Media’s Failure, but It’s a Start. It arrives perfectly timed as the country reflects on how the media constructs problematic narratives around the missing, prompted by Gabby Petito’s disappearance.”
: “Black and Missing is a 4-part HBO documentary series by Emmy winner Geeta Gandbhir and award-winning documentarian, journalist, author and activist Soledad O’Brien. The series follows sisters-in-law and Black and Missing Foundation founders Derrica and Natalie Wilson as they fight an uphill battle to bring awareness to the Black missing person cases that are marginalized by law enforcement and national media.
Haunted by these stories of vanished loved ones and driven by the need for attention and assistance for these forgotten women, former law enforcement officer Derrica and public relations expert Natalie operate a grassroots organization that raises awareness in communities, alerts media outlets to the plight of thousands of women and children, and urges police departments to allocate more resources to this scourge. Black and Missing pulls back the curtain to explore how systemic behaviors and attitudes stem from centuries of deeply rooted racism. This intimate look at Derrica and Natalie’s personal crusade to locate missing Black people also highlights stories of hope and closure as the Black and Missing Foundation contributes to the resolution of several high-profile missing person cases.”
Trinity educates leaders who are making a difference in their communities, every day.


MATERIAL FLOW ANALYSIS TOWARDS CLEANER PRODUCTION IN HOA BINH SUGARCANE COMPANY, VIETNAM
Nguyen Ha, Ngo Quoc Phong, Thi Le, Oanh, Nguyen Hai, Drangert Jan-Olof
Wastes from the sugar industry have negative impact on water steams and aquatic life as well as profitability. This is especially worrying for sugar companies using backward technology and non-integrated processes. A Material Flow Analysis (MFA) can together with the waste hierarchy help to reduce wastage and improve recycling and material resource management. Rather than adding end of pipe pollution control technology, a change to cleaner production processes and recycling lead to more
... ble solutions that improve both the economic performance and the environment. To this end, the material flows at Hoa Binh Sugar Company (Hoasuco) in Vietnam is presented and analyzed. Results show that the loss of sugar added up to 17.1% of potential production. Solid flows from extraction, filtration and crystallization accounted for 10.6%; and the remaining 6.5% is lost in steam released from evaporation and crystallization. Clarification is the most inefficient process, with a sugar loss almost nine times greater than the benchmark value. On the other hand, Hoasuco lost 30% less of sugar left in molasses. Water usage in the Hoasuco was very high, ranging from 18 to 23m 3 per ton sugarcane of 15-20 L/kg of manufactured sugar compared to 0.5-0.9 m 3 /ton sugarcane reported in a World bank study and 4 L/kg of manufactured sugar in another studies. Based on these findings, the present study proposed various measures for cleaner production and recycling of waste: avoid mixing wastewater of very different composition to facilitate the treatment and recycling of each flow, both effluent and sludge. The solid waste fraction could be minimized by improved monitoring of the operations of processes. The solid waste should be reused and recycled (biogas extraction included), while incineration and landfilling should be avoided. The demand for water, cane and energy could be significantly reduced by such by measures.

Our generation has recently experienced something extraordinary—the revival, or rather, the awakening of “Star Wars,” a beloved franchise that has gone down in the books as one of the greatest series of all time. Now that “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens” has been out for a little over a month, smashing records in the process, the dust has started to settle on how this film holds up to the others.
When “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” premiered in 2004, many fans—myself included—thought that this was the end of the story in that galaxy far, far away, leaving original director George Lucas’ lackluster prequels as our lasting impression of the universe. I am not necessarily one of those
In preparation for the film, I viewed the original trilogy beforehand to see Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in the early days of “Star Wars” as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa, respectively. Because of that, it was easy to see the similarities in plot points between the new movie and “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” and I was not the only one. Many have criticized the film for being a “rip-off” of the original film, or at the very least, too safe.
I won’t pretend that these accusations don’t hold merit. With Daisy Ridley’s Rey taking on the role of Luke Skywalker, and Harrison Ford’s Han Solo acting as an Obi-Wan Kenobi figure, there is no denying these similarities between films. However, I would argue that the film needed to be safe in order for it to be successful. What didn’t work in the prequels was its unfocused plotline and lack of action and character development. If director JJ Abrams had chosen to go down the path of total innovation, he would’ve risked these same problems in addition to alienating audiences who have grown up with “Star Wars” and remember it a certain way. The movie had impossible expectations to begin with, so the fact that it has become the third highest-grossing movie of all time and bolsters a 93 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes is an enormous accomplishment.
This movie has awoken something truly remarkable in its release. “The Force Awakens” has arguably been discussed more than any other film, promoting theory-crafting, debates and countless other events. Furthermore, it advances movies as a platform for advancing diversity in the media. There has been a lot of controversy recently regarding the lack of representation in the Oscar nominations, prompting the Academy and the film industry itself to incorporate more diverse roles. Long before this debate began, however, “The Force Awakens” could hang its hat on its own casting. With the delightful Daisy Ridley leading the way as Rey, the franchise has created a strong female lead that gives both hope and a role model to young girls, proving the heroine is just as capable as the hero. In addition, the movie includes ex-stormtrooper Finn, played by black actor John Boyega, and pilot Poe Dameron, played by Guatemalan actor Oscar Isaac. These two actors are fantastic in their roles, and through casting like this, “The Force Awakens” can promote more progressive ideas, which is something that has been lacking in the media lately.
In addition, the revitalization of the franchise resonates with the film industry’s more recent trends toward nostalgia. New reboots, remakes and continuations of franchises are being announced all the time, from the reimagining of “Ghostbusters” with female leads, to the release of “Mad Max: Fury Road” and speculation that “Labyrinth” will be made in lieu of David Bowie’s passing. This trend is not necessarily a good or bad thing, but it is undeniable regardless, and “The Force Awakens” emphasizes this trend. Seeing the actors from the original trilogy does so much more than mere “fan service.” In many ways, “The Force Awakens” is a stepping stone from the previous trilogies toward something greater. Seeing the movie reinvigorated my interest in “Star Wars,” as I know it has for many other fans. It balances nostalgia while opening the door to diversity, relevance and the belief that this galactic tale has so much more to offer us moving forward.


It seems Kourtney Kardashian loves to confuse her fans through her social media posts. The 41-year-old who is a mother of three shared a photo yesterday where she can be seen chilling out into Malibu with 19-year-old TikTok star Addison Rae. What made the headline is the caption where she wrote of having a “husband” and that Addison is his “girlfriend.”
Kourtney captioned the photo, “My husband’s girlfriend and I exchanging stories.” While they were seen sitting at a table which is at the Kar-Jenner’s $125 million rental summer house in Malibu. From her post, fans assumed that she referred to her -ex Scott Disick, the father of her three kids. Notably, they got separated in 2015 but they share a good bond as they co-parent their three children – sons Mason, 10, and Reign, five, and daughter Penelope, seven.
On the other hand, ever since the 37-year-old split from his girlfriend, Sofia Richie, 21, has been spending a lot of time with Kourtney and their recent photos are the proof of that where they can be seen shopping together in Malibu and enjoyed iced coffee as well.
Kourtney and Scott together?
Kourtney was seen in a grey lace-up sneakers and dark rectangular sunglasses. Along with this, her raven coloured locks were slicked back into a sleek bun as well which gave her a stylish look. However, she was seen without a face mask despite local guidelines while the founder of The Talentless brand was seen in a yellow shirt with large blue polka dots along with Nike sneakers and black shorts. Even his black cap and dark sunglasses gave him a dashing look. But he was also seen without a face mask.
Moreover, reports also suggested that Scott has reunited with Sofia after their separation in May after Scott’s rehab at a Colorado treatment facility in April. They started dating in 2017 nearly after two years of his separation with Kourtney. A source revealed to People, ‘[They are] trying to make things work while taking things slow.’ ‘They seemed happy together but more friendly than romantic.’

If they turn yellow prior to the new growth, then it's probably because the rockwool does not really carry any nutrients, it's merely a medium that holds water so it can root. After it roots, it's time to play ball. Since I use peat moss , there is a little bit of added nutrients for the cutting, but sometimes it's not

Dry ice is the least labor intensive, and its yield and quality is dependent on the screen you choose.
Bubble bags are quite a work out especially if you don't have a mixer/drill, but yield very well and have multiple "settings" so to speak for

Small businesses can have a big impact. But small and midsize businesses often have fewer resources to work with, so they lack the robust systems that would normally offer visibility into the large number of invoices that come in and go out each month.
That’s where a cloud-based accounts payable management system comes in. Switching to an automated workflow provides new efficiencies to multiple stakeholders – in addition to the critical visibility into cash flow that every small business needs.
According to a recent study of several businesses by IDC, companies of all sizes that deployed Concur Invoice saw a wide variety of benefits, including:
- Greater visibility into business performance, which drove smarter decision making
- 505% return on investment over five years
- Five-month payback period
- 99% of employees using a cloud-based system complied with company procurement policy
- Productivity increased an average of 11% due to mobile enablement
And many more that are available in the full report.
According to IDC, for the businesses surveyed, automating their invoice process not only helped them gain efficiency and productivity, but it also provided big-picture data visibility and increased employee satisfaction for more effective operations and a better bottom line. Read the report today then visit this page and see how an integrated solution helps modern finance leaders gain increased employee compliance, productivity, and visibility.

Nearly 400 rural women from across the county who followed the call to the Kreislandfrauentag in Stadthalle Ahlen on Saturday morning have raised a lot of confidence and loyalty.
Stehaufqueen County Executive Nicole Staudinger <! –-> which told listeners, including several listeners, that women can lift their heads even in times of crisis.
The 39-year-old educated bestselling publisher and author is well versed in such crises, and at the age of 32, was diagnosed with breast cancer after having just survived black skin cancer.
Honest and free, without handwriting, she talked about needed total breast amputation, ovarian removal and hormonal treatment. Instead of lifting her legs afterwards, during her chemotherapy, she wrote her first book, Breastfeeding Breastfeeding, which became a mirror bestseller.
Her advice: "It's enough to climb a mountain when it lies in front of you" and not see the following.
Staudinger was also successful along the way as a coach, and explained that women could handle any criticism of Sperrspitze's innocent "Oh, what."
In addition, President Margret Möllmann acted! –-> regulations and presented the "We Give Plastic Basket" campaign.
In addition to plastic, Möllmann said it was a struggle to throw away food. "Waste disposal may not be an option for us," the chair said, criticizing the fact that 82 pounds of food per person are discarded each year.
Winfried Kaup, the district's deputy manager, took a stand against plastic waste and explained that the circle had successfully opposed the slurry of "Coffee to Go" plastic cups. Alternative mugs are also made of plastic, but are fully recyclable, dishwashers up to 600 times reusable.
Karl Werring, president of the Chamber of Commerce and president of WLV Hermann-Josef Zumloh, subsequently honored the women with the Golden Masters.

Welcome back to High Ridge Elementary! I hope each of you had a wonderful, fun-filled, exciting summer! I am very excited to start my fifth year at High Ridge Elementary, and watch our students grow as leaders this school year.
Just to tell you a little about myself, this is my sixth year as a Guidance Counselor with the Northwest R-1 School District. Prior to, I spent approximately nine years working with the State of Missouri Children's Division. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and received my Masters of Science in Education with an emphasis in Counseling from Missouri Baptist University. I am also certified as a School Psychological Examiner and as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Elementary School Guidance Counselors wear many hats. I spend a large majority of my time conducting model guidance classroom lessons, group counseling (social skills, anger management, divorce, grief, friendship, and study skills), and individual student counseling. I also work with staff, students, and parents to assist with community resources. Additionally, I manage our wonderful, student-led Peace Patrol Program. This year, it is set up a little differently, as HRE is looking to expand the program to allow ALL types of student leaders to be part of this amazing program!

The eurozone’s attempts to defend itself against the spread of contagion are showing signs of failure on almost every front, putting a global financial crisis originating in Europe back on the table.
Political divisions between the core and the periphery increasingly threaten the emergency measures keeping the region afloat, making an orderly solution to the sovereign debt crisis look increasingly doubtful.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
“Our new baseline outlook includes widespread bank and financial institution failures in Euroland,” Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, said in a note.
“We fear a global economic depression — less severe in North America — originating in Euroland’s sovereign debt crisis and banking sector fragility,” he said.
What began as a problem of excessive debt and unsustainable finances in Greece, a nation of only 11 million accounting for a paltry share of the region’s output, is now showing troubling similarities to 2008, when risky mortgage-backed securities in the United States set off a financial cataclysm.
The eurozone’s peripheral countries are surviving on emergency financing extended primarily by the region’s twin powers — Germany and France — as well as the European Central Bank. That support has been made conditional on the enactment of fiscal austerity.
But that arrangement now appears on the verge of collapse, with citizens of the core countries resentful of bankrolling bailouts and taxpayers in the periphery lashing out against drastic budget cuts and reduced entitlements.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel paid a steep political price for her support of bailouts, having suffered her fifth election loss this year in a regional vote over the weekend.
“The vote sends out a very clear message,” Lena Komileva, global head of G10 strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, said in a note. “German taxpayers refuse to leverage their future pensions to protect the euro in its current 17-member form, and they are not alone.”
Opposition to additional aid brings into question the viability of future emergency funding designed to stem contagion, a point of concern exacerbated by Finland’s demand for collateral as a condition for further loans to Greece.
Meanwhile, resistance is gaining potency for those on the receiving end of aid as well.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has signalled a tenuous commitment to austerity after refusing to legislate all the deficit-cutting measures he promised last month in return for support for its bond market by the ECB.
Still, Mr. Berlusconi’s revised plan sparked a general strike Tuesday in Italy, setting the stage for a confidence vote in the Italian Parliament on Wednesday.
Greek austerity, meanwhile, has proven ineffective, with its projected deficit for 2011 of up to 9%, well in excess of its 7.6% target, a miss some economists attribute to the austerity measures themselves.
“The slash-and-burn austerity programme has hammered demand and incomes, so that tax receipts are falling, despite the attempt to collect more,” Charles Dumas, chief economist at Lombard Street Research, said in a note. “No amount of austerity will put this right — GDP will simply slide away from under, destroying revenue, boosting relief expenditure and cutting the GDP denominator of all the relevant ratios.”
Collectively, the deteriorating relationship between the core and the periphery strained European equities, government bonds and the euro this week. The German benchmark DAX index, for example, plunged 5.3% on Monday, and a further 1% on Tuesday.
The possibility of the crisis getting away from policy makers has the region’s bankers openly contemplating the worst.
This “is not just a financial crisis,” Federico Ghizzoni, the head UniCredit, Italy’s largest bank, said in Frankfurt Tuesday. “For the first time, the European system is really at stake.”
To preserve the currency union, limit contagion and keep banks functioning, EU officials need to implement the €440-billion joint rescue fund agreed to in July as soon as possible, said Mark McCormick, currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.
The ECB needs to keep buying up the bonds of peripheral countries, he said. “I think it’s possible they can still muddle through this.”

Rethinking my Science
How will social and personality psychologists look back on 2011? With pride at having continued the hard work of unraveling the mysteries of human behavior, or with concern that the only thing that is unraveling is their discipline?
This question has been addressed in a recent post by Sanjay Srivastava (2011a) which highlighted two potentially troubling events relating to social psychology that occurred in 2011:
- The paper on precognition by Daryl Bem in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Bem, 2011). Experiments reported in this paper suggested that events that occurred in the future could cause events that occurred in the past.
- The scientific fraud case of social psychologist Diederik Stapel.
These events have created a substantial amount of controversy, and Srivastava makes a crucial argument for their importance. But although these two events are significant and certainly deserve our attention, they are flukes rather than game-changers.
Bem’s precognition paper was probably a freak event, and it was demystified a bit by a panel of experts at an important symposium at the Society of Experimental Social Psychology meeting in October. The panel members reported a variety of studies that did not find evidence for precognition or other forms of ESP, and questioned the statistical methods used by Bem and others. Overall, far more empirical and theoretical work must be conducted before these findings can be accepted as valid.
The behavior of Dietrich Stapel is reprehensible and reminds us all what we simply cannot do. His actions have harmed a lot of us and will likely cause even further difficulties going forward. In response, many of us have spent time discussing the pressures of academia with our students and colleagues. But Stapel’s behavior is also a fluke. Some of us probably do fabricate data, but I imagine the numbers are relatively few.
As shocking as they are, neither of these events create real problems for social psychologists; say for a committee who is evaluating a social psychology candidate for promotion or tenure (unless of course he or she is claiming to have found precognition or has falsified his or her data!)
But three other papers published over the past two years must completely change how we think about our field and how we must conduct our research within it. And each is particularly important for me, personally, because each has challenged a fundamental assumption that was part of my training as a social psychologist.
First is the paper by Henrich, Heine, and Norenzayan (2010) on the use of WEIRD samples. These authors argue that our usual college student samples (White, Educated, Intelligent, Rich, and Democratic) are just terrible – that we cannot expect them to generalize very far, and that we desperately need to expand them.
I was trained, and have always trained my students, that “since we can’t get a representative sample of the population of interest (everyone), then we might as well study college students as they are convenient.” This belief was so dear to me that I fully expected to find that the many respected scientists who responded to the target paper would buy into this logic – it just seems so reasonable! But with some exceptions (e.g. Gaertner, Sedikides, & Brown, 2010), they did not. It appears that many – even most – scientists agree that samples used by social psychologists are flawed and that our conclusions are therefore invalid.
Although it has received little of our attention, to me this is an article that alters our entire approach. Unless we take the question of generalization across participants more seriously, we are indeed in facing a crisis of confidence in our field. I dread the day when my faculty asks me to support the promotion of a social psychologist whose work is based entirely on college student samples. What can I possibly say in his or her defense? What do you plan to say?
Secondly, and equally troubling to me, is a finding, excellently summarized in a New Yorker article by Jonah Lehrer (Lehrer, 2011), regarding the instability of observed effects. The basic phenomenon is that observed findings in the social and biological sciences weaken with time. Effects that are easily replicable at first become less so every day. Drugs stop working over time the same way that social psychological phenomena become more and more elusive. The “the decline effect” or “the truth wears off effect,” is not easy to dismiss, although perhaps the strength of the decline effect will itself decline over time.
Frankly I have difficulty getting my head around this idea (I’m guessing others do too) but it is nevertheless exceedingly troubling. I know that I need to replicate my effects, but am often unable to do it. And perhaps this is part of the reason. Given the difficulty of replication, will we continue to even bother? And what becomes of our research if we do even less replicating than we do now? This is indeed a problem that does not seem likely to go away soon and, which represents a major challenge for us.
The third paper that has fundamentally changed my thinking, and one that is also noted by Srivastava, is the Psychological Science paper by Simmons, Nelson, and Simonsohn (2011). Simmons et al. have argued that scientists frequently engage in research practices that lead to false positives – that is, reporting findings that may not hold up when and if others attempt to replicate the studies.
This work has received substantial attention with social psychology (Kraus, 2011) in relation to the Stapel case, the nature of its recommendations for testing the legitimacy of data, and because of potential limitations in its survey methodology (Discussion Group, 2011). But its fundamental assertions are deep and long-lasting, and they have substantially affected me.
Although there are many ways that I take the comments to heart, perhaps most important to me is the realization that some of the basic techniques that I have long used to collect and analyze data – techniques that were taught to me by my mentors and which I have shared with my students – are simply wrong.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve frequently “looked early” at my data, and I think my students do too. And I certainly bury studies that don’t work, let alone fail to report dependent variables that have been uncooperative. And I have always argued that the researcher has the obligation to write the best story possible, even if may mean substantially “rewriting the research hypothesis.” Over the years my students have asked me about these practices (“What do you recommend, Herr Professor?”) and I have routinely, but potentially wrongly, reassured them that in the end, truth will win out.
In short, this important paper will – must – completely change the field. It has shined a light on the elephant in the room, which is that we are publishing too many Type-1 errors, and we all know it. We need to step up to the plate and figure out what to do about it before more damage is done. Fortunately, recent information suggests that the editors at Psychological Science are discussing this issue carefully (Srivastava, S. (2011)
Whew! What a year 2011 was – let’s hope that we come back with some good answers to these troubling issues in 2012.

Marvel has created a seemingly infinite supply of original superheroes. The publisher didn’t just fall back on the tried and true origins that superhero comics have made rather commonplace, like alien protectors of Earth or the billionaires who fight evil. No, Marvel created many of its own ways of making characters into superheroes, making their heroes unique and allowing them to stand out next to their distinguished competition.
However, Marvel does sometimes copy itself. Some Marvel heroes look like blatant rip-offs of their fellow Marvel champions. Others are a little more subtle, but a closer look reveals their origins. What’s important, though, is the way these characters grow over time.
10/10 Daredevil Was Originally A Spider-Man Clone
Daredevil is Marvel’s most powerful lawyer and the publisher’s premiere vigilante. He’s known for his gritty crime stories, but that’s a trait that developed over the last forty years. At first, Daredevil came across as a blind Spider-Man. He was a high-flying, wisecracking hero who got his powers from radioactivity and dated a blond woman.
Old Daredevil comics are entirely different from today’s gritty crime stories. Reading these older stories about the Man Without Fear shows off just how much of Spider-Man is in Daredevil’s DNA. Several creators have done runs that played this up, including Karl Kesel in the ’90s and Mark Waid in the ’10s, but most readers like him best when he’s the grim protector of Hell’s Kitchen.
9/10 Doctor Druid And Doctor Strange Have An Interesting Relationship
At first glance, Doctor Druid looks like a copy/paste of Doctor Strange. They’re both magic-using doctors, with similarly ornate costumes and cloaks. This is a true statement, but it’s also completely wrong. Technically, Doctor Strange is the copy of Doctor Druid, as Druid appeared first as Dr. Droom, the prototype for Doctor Strange that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko co-created.
Droom was a failure as a character and the two creators repackaged their ideas for Doctor Strange. However, when Droom was repackaged as Druid in the ’80s, he was based on Strange. Younger fans at the time had no idea about their complicated history.
8/10 She-Hulk Is Just A Gender Swapped Hulk
Nowadays, fans like to throw out the term “gender-swapped” as an insult but switching from male to female is a venerable tradition in genre fiction as a way to create a new character. It allows readers to get stories that are familiar to them but from a new viewpoint. She-Hulk is a perfect example of this, as she was created to be the female version of the Hulk.
Of course, over the years, She-Hulk grew into a unique character. Unlike her often monosyllabic cousin, she became known for hilarious, fourth-wall-breaking stories. She took her simple origins as a female Hulk and became something entirely her own, demonstrating why gender-swapped characters can be great.
7/10 Iron Fist Is The White Shang-Chi
Marvel has some great mercenaries and Luke Cage and Iron Fist are both legendary. Intestestingly, both characters were inspired by popular movies of the ’70s. Cage was a child of the Blaxploitation genre and Iron Fist was born out of kung fu movies. Iron Fist wasn’t the first Marvel hero inspired by the Hong Kong action genre, though. That was Shang-Chi.
Shang-Chi and Iron Fist have some differences, but both of them are basically characters who elevate martial arts mastery until it’s a superpower. They’d take different paths, but initially, Iron Fist was just the white version of Shang-Chi.
6/10 Human Torch Is The Second Of His Name
Human Torch is a tough cookie, his fire powers making him a clutch member of the Fantastic Four. He’s also Marvel’s first legacy hero, although the publisher never really positioned him as such. The original Human Torch appeared back in 1939’s Marvel Comics #1. He was the publisher’s first superhero.
Of course, the Golden Age Torch and the FF’s more popular Human Torch are quite different. The original was a weirdly flammable android and Johnny Storm got his powers from cosmic radiation. However, it’s apparent that Lee and Kirby were paying homage to Marvel’s first superhero when they put a new Human Torch into Fantastic Four #1, the beginning of Marvel’s Silver Age superhero dynasty.
5/10 Gambit Used A Lot Of Wolverine’s Tropes
The X-Men have some very popular rebels, to the extent that it’s one of the team’s central tropes. This role was pioneered by Wolverine. He was the team’s bad boy with a mysterious past, just as liable to sass a team member as to help them in battle. He had a connection to a mysterious organization, Weapon X, and an X-Men villain, Sabretooth. As time went on, he became a team player, deeply committed to his found family.
So, Gambit was created to take his place. He was the new bad boy with a mysterious past, just as liable to sass his teammates as he was to help them. He had connections to a mysterious organization, the Thieves Guild, and to one of the X-Men’s villains, Mister Sinister. He rode this to stardom, just like Wolverine before him.
4/10 Scarlet Spider Is The More Literal Spider-Man Clone
Ben Reilly got his chance to be Spider-Man, taking Peter Parker’s place during the Clone Saga, a role he was literally created for. Reilly first appeared as the Spider-Clone in The Amazing Spider-Man #149 but was believed dead at the end of the issue. However, Reilly was brought back to life in the ’90s’ Clone Saga.
Reilly is a complete copy of Spider-Man down to his genetic structure. The character has reappeared several times since the Clone Saga, getting his own book on a few occasions, and headlining The Amazing Spider-Man in the “Spider-Man Beyond” story, before becoming the villainous Chasm.
3/10 Warpath And His Brother Thunderbird Are Almost Interchangeable
Thunderbird joined the X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1 but wasn’t with the team for long, killed in battle against Count Nefaria. His brother James had the same mutant powers as him – super strength, speed, and durability, as well as super senses – and was later recruited by the Hellions. Eventually, he’d join the New Mutants wearing his dead older brother’s costume.
Warpath went on to join X-Force and the X-Men, often wearing his brother’s original outfit. Warpath slid seamlessly into his brother’s place with the X-Men, as he even had the same hot-headed personality.
2/10 Johnny Walker Became USAgent After Failing As Captain America
Johnny Walker took over as Captain America after Steve Rogers gave up the mantle for a time. Completely unsuited to Captain America’s role, he’d eventually patch things up with Rogers. Cap gave Johnny the costume he wore while he was known as the Captain and Walker became USAgent.
As USAgent, Walker was basically just the super strong right-wing version of Captain America for the Avengers West Coast. He had a nearly identical shield and a very similar fighting style, although he didn’t have the original’s tactical brilliance. His costume was changed several times over the years, but most still see him as a second-rate Captain America knock-off, including his former teammates. That said, a strong debut in the MCU helped elevate the character and he’s shown a lot of potential in recent years.
1/10 Laura Kinney Is Definitely Her Father’s Daughter
Laura Kinney’s Wolverine turn made her into an even bigger character than before, and she was already spectacularly popular. Laura is definitely a copy of Wolverine, as she was genetically created by Weapon X as a replacement for Logan. As a character, she even went through many of the same story arcs as he did, working to find her place in the world and prove she was more than a killing machine.
As Wolverine, Laura joined the X-Men, first the Red team led by Jean Grey and then the Krakoan Era team. While she doesn’t have the same success with the team her father does, she’s still followed in his narrative footsteps throughout most of her existence.

You may have noticed it’s been a pretty good year for stocks. Good news, right? Well, it’s all good news until it’s not. With valuations this high, it’s important to gauge your future expectations.
Case in point:
“When valuations were this high in 2004 and 1997, the next decade delivered after-inflation gains of 4.5% both times, despite enormous market crashes along the way,” writes James Mackintosh in the WSJ.
The question is, to me at least, how many stock investors were able to stick around and patiently stay invested when things got nasty?
What I want you to consider in the above quote is, how did you feel when the markets fell apart in the tech bust and the real estate crash?
Did you sell your stocks?
And if you didn’t sell, will you be able to do the same in the next crash?
At some point in your investing career, you need to ask yourself how much will stock gains improve your life?
And how much will stock losses ruin it?
Be honest with yourself.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Housing Benefit Amounts
This article will explore some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with the amount of Housing Benefit provided to eligible individuals and families in the UK. This will help you to understand how the benefit might impact your financial and living situation.
Advantages of Housing Benefit Amounts
For those struggling with rent. Housing Benefit can provide essential financial relief. Below, we discuss seven key advantages of the housing benefit system.
1) Support for Low-Income Households
– Housing benefit is designed to assist those on low incomes to afford their rent, helping to prevent homelessness by enabling individuals and families to maintain a basic standard of living.
– The benefit is tailored to the needs of the recipient, considering their income and housing cost, consequently ensuring that vulnerable people receive necessary support.
2) Access to Better Living Conditions
– By subsidising housing costs, Housing Benefit can allow recipients to live in areas and accommodations that would otherwise be unaffordable. This can result in improved quality of life, as well as gaining access to better services and employment opportunities.
– For families, this can mean the ability to provide a stable home for children. Obviously, this is vital for their development and well-being.

The Bulk test step is designed for loading or deleting large sets of data via the Salesforce Bulk API. You can use it to modify a large number of records asynchronously by submitting batches from an Excel sheet. Salesforce will process these batches in the background until they are all complete.
To use this test step, first locate it in the Test Palette and click and drag it into the test case.
Then complete the following steps:
- Add a Parameter Value Source to read the Excel/CSV file and specify the variable in which to store the data, e.g. ExcelData.
- In the Object section, specify the target object in the Object field (e.g. Account).
- Select the Operation: Insert, Update, Delete, Upsert or Hard Delete. (Note: To perform a Hard Delete operation, the Salesforce Connection user must have the Bulk API Hard Delete permission enabled.)
- Specify an Assignment Rule (if the ownership of the records should be defined using existing Salesforce Assignment Rules).
- In the Data section, enter the variable in which the Excel data is stored (e.g. ExcelData).
- In the Result section, specify the Result Name and Result Scope. (Refer to Common Test Step Parameters for more information on Scope.)
Notes on data
When preparing your Excel file, please consider the following:
- Column-field matching: The Column headers in the Excel/CSV file must be an exact match for the Field Name (i.e. API Name) of the relevant field in Salesforce.
- Required fields: When inserting data into an object, all its required fields must be populated. For example, to insert Account records, Name must be a column header in the Excel file and must be populated for all rows.
- Salesforce IDs: To perform an operation on existing records, the unique Salesforce ID of the record must be specified. This applies to Update, Upsert, Delete or Hard Delete operations.

My friend Bianca is a gal with never ending style.
She is smart, an amazing seamstress and a good sewing buddy (albeit long distance). Several months ago she was understandably upset when a clothing designer she has supported and championed for many years came out with their new seasonal line featuring many of their clothes in the color “Nude”. The light sand color that was being shown did not resemble her “Nude” or that of most of the world frankly. It has made me think much about the power of the words we use and how important it is to use them wisely.
With this in mind, I have been drawing up several projects for what I will call my “Nude” series. The first is an attempt to make a dress incorporating many “Nude” colors. I did Needle turn appliqué for the first time and am itching to do more. I used a fabric pen to write my message (forgive my messy doctor handwriting). I think I will make this into a wall hanging. There is nothing like a good message for creative inspiration.


EVENT: Douglas Rushkoff Book Party
|October 15, 2010|
|6:00 pm||to||8:00 pm|
Adjunct Professor Douglas Rushkoff will discuss is new book, Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age, at a launch celebration at ITP.
When human beings acquired language, we learned not just how to listen but how to speak. When we gained literacy, we learned not just how to read but how to write. And as we move into an increasingly digital reality, we must learn not just how to use programs but how to make them.
Digital tools are not like rakes, steam engines, or even automobiles that we can drive with little understanding of how they work. Digital technology doesn’t merely convey our bodies, but ourselves. Our screens are the windows through which we are experiencing, organizing, and interpreting the world in which we live. We are doing more than extending human agency through a new linguistic or communications system. We are replicating the very function of cognition through external, extra-human mechanisms. These tools are not mere extensions of the will of some individual or group, but entities that have the ability to think and operate other components in the neural network—namely, us.
And while machines once replaced and usurped the value of human labor, computers and networks do more than usurp the value of human thought. They not only copy our intellectual processes—our repeatable programs—but they often discourage our more complex processes—our higher order cognition, contemplation, innovation, and meaning making that should be the reward of “outsourcing” our arithmetic to silicon chips in the ﬁrst place.
The more humans become involved in their design, the more humanely inspired these tools will end up behaving. At the very least we must come to recognize the biases – the tendencies- of the technologies we are using. In a digital age, failure to do so could mean relinquishing our nascent collective agency to the machines themselves.
Rushkoff is the media theorist who first coined terms such as “viral media,” “social currency,” and “screenagers.” He is the author of a dozen books on media, culture, and technology, the correspondent for several Frontline documentaries, and has taught at ITP since the mid-90’s.
Winner of the first Neil Postman award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity, American media theorist Douglas Rushkoff has written a dozen best-selling books on media and society, including Cyberia, Media Virus, Coercion (winner of the Marshall McLuhan Award), Get Back in the Box, and Life Inc. He has made the PBS “Frontline” documentaries Digital Nation, The Persuaders, and Merchants of Cool.
A columnist for The Daily Beast and Arthur Magazine, his articles have been regularly published in The New York Times and Discover, among many other publications. His radio commentaries air on NPR and WFMU, his opeds appear in the New York Times, and he is a familiar face on television, from ABC News to The Colbert Report.
Rushkoff has taught at New York University and the New School, played keyboards for the industrial band PsychicTV, directed for theater and film, and worked as a stage fight choreographer. He lives in New York State with his wife, Barbara, and daughter Mamie.
Rushkoff’s new book, Program or Be Programmed: Ten Commands for a Digital Age is now available exclusively from OR Books (www.orbooks.com).

Before the pandemic started, there were many people who were wary of purchasing things online as they were concerned about their private data being shared such as their phone numbers.
In order to assure the consumers, the e-commerce platform Shopee has taken extra measures to protect their customers’ privacy.
In their Air Waybill update on 18 October, Shopee has announced that starting from 21 October, the buyer’s phone number will be removed on the following air waybills (AWB):
- J & T Express, &
- Ninja Van.
On the same page, it is said that the buyers’ phone number has been omitted on the airway bills of other courier services. Be it as it may, there are still two courier services that will include your phone number in their AWB and that is Poslaju and City-Link Express.
Shopee has elaborated that this move to remove the buyers’ phone number is to “protect our users’ data”. Now, you might be thinking, how will the courier person call you then?
The e-commerce platform has clarified that courier personnel can still view the phone number through the system and through that, they will be able to contact you if needed.
This sounds wonderful! Now we will only need to blackout our address with a marker.
