The public's view that science and religion can't work in collaboration is a misconception that stunts progress, according to a new survey of more than 10,000 Americans, scientists and evangelical Protestants. The study by Rice University also found that scientists and the general public are surprisingly similar in their religious practices.
The study, "Religious Understandings of Science (RUS)," was conducted by sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund and presented today in Chicago during the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference. Ecklund is the Autrey Professor of Sociology and director of Rice's Religion and Public Life Program.
"We found that nearly 50 percent of evangelicals believe that science and religion can work together and support one another," Ecklund said. "That's in contrast to the fact that only 38 percent of Americans feel that science and religion can work in collaboration."
The study also found that 18 percent of scientists attended weekly religious services, compared with 20 percent of the general U.S. population; 15 percent consider themselves very religious (versus 19 percent of the general U.S. population); 13.5 percent read religious texts weekly (compared with 17 percent of the U.S. population); and 19 percent pray several times a day (versus 26 percent of the U.S. population).
"This is a hopeful message for science policymakers and educators, because the two groups don't have to approach religion with an attitude of combat," Ecklund said. "Rather, they should approach it with collaboration in mind."
Ecklund said that the way the science-religion relationship is portrayed in the news media influences the misperception.
"Most of what you see in the news are stories about these two groups at odds over the controversial issues, like teaching creationism in the schools. And the pundits and news panelists are likely the most strident representatives for each group," she said. "It might not be as riveting for television, but consider how often you see a news story about these groups doing things for their common good. There is enormous stereotyping about this issue and not very good information."
Ecklund noted that portions of the two groups are likely to stay put in their oppositional camps. As an example, she found that evangelical Protestants are twice as likely as the general population (11 percent) to consult a religious text or religious leader for questions about science.
Other key findings:
- Nearly 60 percent of evangelical Protestants and 38 percent of all surveyed believe "scientists should be open to considering miracles in their theories or explanations."
- 27 percent of Americans feel that science and religion are in conflict.
- Of those who feel science and religion are in conflict, 52 percent sided with religion.
- 48 percent of evangelicals believe that science and religion can work in collaboration.
- 22 percent of scientists think most religious people are hostile to science.
- Nearly 20 percent of the general population think religious people are hostile to science.
- Nearly 22 percent of the general population think scientists are hostile to religion.
- Nearly 36 percent of scientists have no doubt about God's existence.
Ecklund found another counterintuitive result in the survey. The conventional wisdom is that religious people who work in science will have more doubts about their faith, but the survey revealed the opposite: Evangelical scientists practice religion more than evangelical Protestants in the general population.
"Those scientists who identify as evangelical are more religious than regular American evangelicals who are not in science," Ecklund said.
"Evangelical scientists feel that they've been put under pressure or they find themselves in what they view to be more hostile environments," she said. "They potentially see themselves as more religious, because they're seeing the contrast between the two groups all the time."
RUS is the largest study of American views on religion and science. It includes the nationally representative survey of more than 10,000 Americans, more than 300 in-depth interviews with Christians, Jews and Muslims -- more than 140 of whom are evangelicals -- and extensive observations of religious centers in Houston and Chicago.
The study is being provided to the AAAS Dialogue on Science Ethics and Religion program to help foster dialogue between religious groups and scientists.

Irrigation Checks in McKinney, TX
An irrigation system is an important part of any landscaping plan. Your plants will suffer without a properly functioning irrigation system. That’s why it’s important to have your irrigation system checked regularly.
During an irrigation system inspection, our experts will check your sprinkler heads to make sure they’re properly functioning. We’ll also check your irrigation system as a whole to ensure that it’s delivering the right amount of water to your plants. If we find any problems, we’ll let you know so you can have them fixed.
Don’t wait until your plants start to wilt before you have your irrigation system inspected. Our experts at Green-Go Landscaping can help you keep your system in top condition so your plants always look their best.
Why Is Lawn Irrigation System Important
Homeowners sometimes take their lawns for granted. They forget that the lawn is an important part of the house and needs to be taken care of just like any other part of the house. The lawn irrigation system is one such system that needs to be given due importance.
The main purpose of having a lawn irrigation system is to make sure that your lawn gets the required amount of water. Your lawn will start to die without the right amount of water. A good irrigation system will make sure that your lawn gets the right amount of water at the right time.
Another important reason for having a lawn irrigation system is that it can save you a lot of money in the long run. Inspection of your irrigation system regularly can help you avoid problems that can lead to expensive repairs. Regular maintenance of your irrigation system will also ensure that it lasts longer.
If you are not sure whether you need a lawn irrigation system or not, the best thing to do is to consult with a landscaping specialist. They will be able to assess your needs and recommend the best course of action.
Why Choose Professionals For Irrigation Audit
Sprinkler systems or irrigation systems play a vital role in taking care of your lawn or garden. However, with time, these systems need to be checked for their efficacy and working order. An irrigation audit is carried out to check the performance of an irrigation system and how well it is operating. This is done so that any necessary changes can be made to improve its efficiency.
Sprinkler system inspection may include checking the sprinkler heads, nozzles, and valves. The audit will also check for any leaks or breaks in the system. After the inspection is complete, a report will be prepared that will detail all the findings of the audit.
It is always advisable to hire professionals for an irrigation audit. This is because they have the necessary experience for irrigation inspection and can ensure your system is functioning properly.
Benefits of Irrigation and Sprinkler Inspections
A sprinkler head may become blocked with dirt and debris, which can cause low water pressure. Broken sprinkler heads can also cause water to spray in the wrong direction, wasting water and causing damage to your landscaping.
Having a regular inspection of your irrigation system, including the valve box, can have several benefits. First, it can help you find any leaks in your system. Second, it can also help you identify any broken or damaged sprinkler heads. In addition to these benefits, regular inspection of your irrigation system can detect any problem areas in your system. This way, you can have them fixed before they cause any major damage to your lawn or landscape.
Overall, regular inspection of your irrigation system can save you time, money, and hassle in the long run. It is important to have your system checked regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly.

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir says it's time for the club to stop accepting mediocrity and start aiming for the stars in a bid to break their AFL premiership drought.
Longmuir re-signed with the Dockers for another two years on Wednesday, locking up his future until the end of 2024.
The news comes less than a month after the Dockers outlined their vision to claim maiden AFL and AFLW premierships by 2025 as part of an ambitious strategic plan.
Watch the latest sport on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >>
Longmuir fully backs Fremantle's bold approach, believing the ambitious targets will help the club achieve long-awaited success.
"Every footy club is here to win it. I think it's about time we stopped accepting mediocrity and (started) being more ambitious as a footy club," Longmuir said.
"That allows us to hold staff and players to higher standards, and allows them to set a culture that's aiming to be the best.
"We're here to build a list and a footy team and a footy program that allows us to be at the top for a long period of time. We don't want to be a flash in the pan.
"I think we're on the right track, but we're definitely not satisfied."
The Dockers were on target to break their six-year finals drought in 2021, but four losses in their final six games left them short.
It meant Fremantle finished 11th after being 12th in 2020, in Longmuir's first season in charge.
Longmuir said the Dockers are ready to crack the finals in 2022.
"A lot of our framing over the pre-season has been taking that next step and improving our mindset to become a more consistent team, and that should allow us to press for the finals and play finals footy," Longmuir said.
"I'm not here to shy away from what we want to achieve. The club is being really ambitious and we need to step up as a footy club."
Longmuir said Nat Fyfe would captain the club for a sixth straight year, despite the two-time Brownlow medallist's current injury woes.
Fyfe is no guarantee to be fit for round one after he contracted a serious bacterial infection following shoulder surgery.
Longmuir has full faith Fyfe will be able to overcome his setbacks and play a key role in 2022, but said it was important for every player at the club to display leadership.
"No one link in our chain is bigger than the other," Longmuir said.
"We can't rely on Fyfey, we can't rely on our vice-captains, everyone needs to lead.
"We've probably relied on too few, too much, and that needs to stop.
"We need to make sure we spread our leadership.
"Fyfey will still be our captain. I've got enormous faith in him as a player and a leader.
"But we need others to come along for the ride."

The blazer jacket is a kind of sports jacket. The blazer jackets were the choice of the British Navy in the early nineteenth century, and the British royal became even more popular in 1837 after having approved the blazer jacket as a formal dress. The navy used it as a single 6-button double-button. Blazer jackets are designed for outdoor use and are extremely durable. Since the male body emphasizes its body structure, you can easily find different kinds of blazer jackets everywhere. Blazer jackets are often mixed with sports jackets. However, there are several differences between these two that make them both unique.
Compared to suits and sports jackets, the fabric of the blazer jacket is different.
The fabrics used for blazer jackets are:
Scanned Wool: It is easy to find this fabric, but it can make the blazer look like an orphan jacket.
Sneakers: The shorts, which are usually open-ended, are often used in military uniforms.
Cashmere: It is a soft and luxurious fabric, it is a good match with 100% cashmere trousers. Durability also has the effect of the quality of cashmere.
Pazen: It is mostly composed of wool or cotton.
Fresco: It is composed of more than one yarn in wool, it is a rare fabric and is usually used with plain weave. It is the perfect fabric for summer months with its thin lining.
Blazer Jacket Colors
It is a preferred color for navy blue blazer. They may be lighter in shades, but can be mixed with a sports jacket when they exceed a certain tone. If you will receive a single blazer jacket, we suggest you choose navy blue.
Blazer jackets can also be shiny, vivid colors. Green, red or bright stripes are usually used by members of a club or team.
What is a blazer jacket combined with?
Pants: Perfect fit when wearing gray pants with a navy blazer jacket. Classic light colored chino pants are also a good alternative. It can also be worn with Jean but it is suitable for unofficial times. For those who are brave, they can also be combined with bright amazing colors such as red, orange or green.
Shoes: Given the versatility of the blazer, the variety of shoes can be preferred. The shoes look beautiful when it matches the pants’ picture.

Denver Mayor Hancock suspends furloughs at DMV to “improve customer service”
Denver Mayor Michael Hancock today announced he would waive the four remaining city employee furlough days for 46 people who work for Denver’s Motor Vehicle Department in order to “improve customer service.”
“I am dedicated to making Denver better, faster and stronger,” Hancock said in a press release. “Keeping our DMV open during furlough days is not just about cutting down wait times. It’s about being more efficient, more effective and providing the highest level of service to our customers, the neighborhoods, residents and businesses of Denver.”
Anyone who has gone into a DMV office in recent years knows the wait times can be frustrating.
In a recent city report, the wait times on average last year at Denver’s four DMV offices were 52 minutes.
That wait time has been increasing every year.
As part of an effort to make the city government more effective, the DMV is also reviewing department operations, including developing strategies to increase the number of renewals online and through traditional mail and exploring ways to strengthen the partnership between the city and regional partners.
Denver’s Department of Motor Vehicle processes motor vehicle registrations, titles, temporary permits and license plates for City and County of Denver residents. It operates four centers in Denver and is comprised of 46 employees that process over 640,000 transactions a year.
For about four years 7,000 Denver city employees have had to take furloughs, which saves the city about $1 million per furlough day. This year, city employees will have to take five total furlough days.
Furloughs have prevented layoffs and have helped spare city services from major reductions.

Zen / Mahayana
The Mahayana tradition of Buddhism, of which Zen is an important expression (along with Chinese Chan and Korean Soen), arose sometime around the first century C.E. in South India and spread throughout Asia. It is characterized by the ideal of the bodhisattva: the compassionate being whose desire for enlightenment isn’t an individual quest but includes all other sentient beings as well.
In our daily lives we are often lost in thought—we lose ourselves in our plans, in our anger, in our worries. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh presents Buddhist techniques we can use to cut through the mental busyness and anxiety of daily life in order to discover the clear happiness that comes from living in the present moment. Based on a retreat that Thich Nhat Hanh led for Westerners, this… Read More

One thing we all know… Freedom isn’t FREE. Reminders seem to come all too often these days. After the Sandy Hook tragedy, I was truly taken back and unsure of how to act or react about the safety of my daughter. Yesterday, multiple bombs went off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon killing 3 people and injuring at least 150. Turn on a TV and you will see videos of the bombs going off, an older man falling to the pavement and mass confusion ensuing.
I feel terrible for all the victims and their families and I don’t want to be a blind-optimist here, but I see something important within this tragic event. I see total strangers running TOWARD the blast, doing everything they can to help those in need. I see people with no military, tactical, or medical training removing their own clothes and holding wounds together, similar to a Medic on a battlefield. I see Americans doing what Americans DO… Rising to the occasion without hesitation.
I have to be honest, in recent years, I have begun to question the toughness of America. I have started to believe that we are becoming mentally weak and spoiled by Television and video games. What happened in Boston is glaring proof that I was wrong. I was wrong to doubt our toughness and I was wrong to question our compassion.
We have to take this tragedy and really look at the results. Only 3 fatalities when there are over 150 injuries from a bomb that was detonated in a civilian area… Don’t think it was just “luck” that allowed so many to survive. Don’t think they placed the bombs in fortunate locations or didn’t have the intent to kill. They did. But, the damage was minimized drastically by the heroic efforts of many strong, courageous Americans.
You will always be able to say, “it could have been worse”, but in this case, that would be a drastic understatement. I don’t consider it a WIN, but I will hold my head high and be proud of the great people of this nation.

President Bush on Wednesday nominated White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, who helped shape the administration's controversial legal strategy in the war on terror, to be attorney general. He would be the first Hispanic to serve as the nation's top law enforcement officer. A Harvard-educated attorney whose parents were migrant workers, Gonzales would succeed Attorney General John Ashcroft, who resigned on Tuesday along with Commerce Secretary Donald Evans. Gonzales's political career has flourished under Bush's patronage over the past decade, since Bush was governor of Texas.
Federal authorities lowered the terror alert status for areas around financial institutions in New York, Washington, and Newark, N.J., saying Wednesday that additional security precautions had reduced the threat. Lowering the threat level from orange (high) to yellow (medium) comes three months after the alert was raised because of concerns the institutions and the areas around them could be Al Qaeda targets.
A new Smithsonian Institution exhibition that pays tribute to the service and sacrifice of the nation's battle-worn men and women opened yesterday (Veterans Day) in Washington. The National Museum of American History exhibit includes more than 800 artifacts, from the French and Indian War to the current global fight against terrorism and the conflict in Iraq. In Alabama, meanwhile, Kyle Phillips and his father, Naval Reserves Lt. Cmdr. Alan Phillips, visited a veterans memorial in Birmingham.
A jury of Marine Corps officers on Wednesday found the commander of the Marine detention facility at Camp Whitehorse in southern Iraq guilty of maltreatment and dereliction of duty in connection with the death of an Iraqi prisoner. Maj. Clarke Paulus of Buckingham, Pa., was dismissed from the service, but will receive no jail time and was acquitted of the most serious charge of assault and battery.
In its latest increase in short-term interest rates, the Federal Reserve moved the federal funds rate by one-quarter of a percentage point to 2 percent on Wednesday. Encouraged by the economy's performance, the Fed may bump up interest rates again in December - a fifth time this year - and will continue to tighten credit in 2005, economists predict.
California High Speed Rail Authority officials unveiled a tentative map Wednesday of routes for a proposed statewide bullet train - a $35 billion, 700-mile project they hope to begin building in 2008.

Authorities said Monday that a Philadelphia-area mother and daughter have been convicted of killing five family members, including three children.
Shana Selena Decree, 47, and her 21-year-old daughter Dominic Kieran will serve five consecutive life sentences after being convicted, but are mentally ill on five counts of first-degree murder and one count of criminal conspiracy, Buck County. The County Attorney’s Office stated.
Prosecutors said between February 23 and February 25, 2019, the pair killed Sharna Decree’s children Nahira Ira Smith, 25, and Damon Decree Jr., 13, both of Morrisville, her sister, Jamon Campbell, 42, Trenton . NJ, and Campbell’s 9-year-old twin daughters Imani and Erica Allen.
“Today we mourn with the families of Erica and Imani Allen, Damon Decree, Naerah Smith and Jemila Campbell, whose mother and daughter Shana and Dominic Decree were murdered,” said Baikida County District Attorney Matt Weintraub. “Were it not for their serious mental illness, both would face the death penalty. As it stands, they would both spend the rest of their lives in prison cells as punishment.”
The bodies of the deceased were found on February 25 in the bedroom of an apartment in Morrisville. According to an autopsy, the twin girls, Decree and Smith, were killed with homicidal asphyxia and Campbell’s death was caused by homigidal ligature fragmentation.

The plaintiffs said the Shana decree told investigators that all five victims wanted to die. Several health professionals stated that both suspects were guilty but were suffering mental illness at the time of the murders.
“By killing, Erika, Imani, Daemon, Naerah, and Jamila, they have destroyed entire generations of their own family,” said Ventrab.

LÉ Niamh (P52) is a Róisín-class offshore patrol vessel in the Irish Naval Service. The ship is named after Niamh, queen of Tír na nÓg, from Irish mythology. Commissioned in 2001, as of 2016[update] the ship is in active service.
The ship was designed by STX Canada Marine (formerly Kvaerner Masa Marine) and has an all-steel hull based on the Mauritian patrol vessel Vigilant launched in 1995, but without the helicopter deck and hangar facilities. The level of automation incorporated into the ship's systems allows the ship to be operated with just 44 crew including six officers. The vessel is designed for winter North Atlantic operations.
The ship is armed with an OTO Melara 76 mm dual purpose gun installed on the bow gun deck. The gun fires 12-kilogram (26 lb) shells and is capable of firing up to 85 rounds per minute to a range of over 15 kilometres (9.3 mi). It also has two 12.7 mm (.50 inch) machine guns and two 20 mm Rheinmetall Rh202 Canon for anti-aircraft defence.
The main gun is controlled by an Ultra Electronics Command and Control Systems, Radamec 1500 optronic director with a daylight TV camera, thermal imaging camera and eyesafe laser rangefinder. System 1500 functions in automatic or manual mode. The system provides fire control for surface engagement with spotting corrections in both line and range and has an effective secondary self-defence anti-air capability. System 1500 can detect a small patrol boat at ranges in excess of 12 kilometres (7.5 mi), night or day. The ship's Kelvin Hughes surface search radar, operating at E, F and I bands, is installed high on the main mast over the bridge. The Kelvin Hughes navigation radar operates at I-band.
Command and control
The communications package includes VHF, HF, Inmarsat Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) and Differential Global Positioning System (DFPS) and secure communications. Three inflatable boats are deployed from each ship; two 6.5-metre (21 ft) Delta rigid inflatable boats (RIB) launched with Caley davits, and a single Avon 5.4-metre (18 ft) RIB.
The ship is powered by two Wärtsilä 16V26 diesel engines each developing 5,000 kW (6,700 hp) continuous power. The engines drive two shafts with Lips inboard turning controllable pitch propellers via single reduction gearboxes. Each propeller is 2,500 mm in diameter and functions at 300 rpm.
A Brunvoll FU45 CPP bow thruster, rated at 340 kW with 5.6 t (55 kN) thrust, is fitted for precision manoeuvring and station keeping. The vessel is also equipped with a pair of non-retractable anti-roll fin stabilisers.
Three Caterpillar 3412D1-T generators each deliver 405 kWe at 1,500 rpm. One Caterpillar 3406D1-T emergency generator delivers 205 kWe at 1,500 rpm.
Construction and career
The second of class Róisín-class offshore patrol vessel, Niamh was built by Appledore Shipbuilders in Devon, entered service with the Irish Naval Service in July 2001, and is based at the Haulbowline Island, Cork Harbour Headquarters and Dockyard. Niamh's adopted home port is Limerick City.
In February 2002, 5 months after she was commissioned, Niamh departed from Haulbowline on the most ambitious deployment ever undertaken by an Irish Naval Service vessel; initially tasked with resupplying Irish Army troops deployed as part of the United Nations Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea, she subsequently undertook a cruise to a number of nations in Asia as part of the Irish government's overseas trade promotion strategy visiting Hong Kong, Incheon, Shanghai, Tokyo and Penang over a four-month period. During the cruise, Niamh became the first Irish warship to both transit the Suez Canal and cross the Equator.
In November 2008 Niamh played an important role in the seizure of €750 million of cocaine off the Irish coast as part of Operation Seabight. The ship was used by authorities to approach and board the yacht Dances with Waves, which contained 75 bales of the controlled substance.
From July–September 2015, Niamh took part in a humanitarian operation in the Mediterranean: rescuing migrants from unseaworthy vessels. This included a significant incident when Niamh was first to respond to the capsizing of a boat carrying hundreds of migrants off the coast of Libya. 367 migrants were rescued by the crew of Niamh and brought to Palermo — though several hundred were feared drowned. Niamh returned to Ireland in October 2015.

Protect Your Employees from Heat Related Illness
Heat illness can be deadly. As a matter of fact, 2,630 workers suffered from heat illness and 18 died from heat stroke and related causes on the job in 2014.1 The good news is that heat illnesses and deaths are preventable.
The body normally cools itself by sweating. During hot weather, especially with high humidity, sweating isn't enough. Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels and you can develop heat-related illnesses that include:
- Heatstroke - a life-threatening illness in which body temperature may rise above 106° F in minutes; symptoms include dry skin, rapid, strong pulse and dizziness
- Heat exhaustion - an illness that can precede heatstroke; symptoms include heavy sweating, rapid breathing and a fast, weak pulse
- Heat cramps - muscle pains or spasms that happen during heavy exercise
- Heat rash - skin irritation from excessive sweating
The risk of heat-related illness becomes greater as the weather gets hotter and more humid. This situation is particularly serious when hot weather arrives suddenly early in the season, before employees have had a chance to adapt to warm weather.
Any employee exposed to hot and humid conditions is at risk of heat illness, especially those doing heavy work tasks or using bulky protective clothing and equipment. Some employees might be at greater risk than others if they have not built up a tolerance to hot conditions including new employees, temporary employees, or those returning to work after a week or more off. All employees are at risk during a heat wave.
Employees suffering from heat exhaustion are at greater risk for accidents, since they are less alert and can be confused. Having a serious injury or death occur at your dealership or collision center affects everyone at the organization.
So what are you doing to protect your employees from heat related illness?
Under OSHA law, employers are responsible for providing workplaces free of known safety hazards. This includes protecting employees from extreme heat. It’s time to establish a complete heat illness prevention program, one that includes planning for emergencies, training employees on prevention, and monitoring employees for signs of illness.
Start by ensuring your dealerships and collision centers have:
- Plenty of hydrations stations with water and electrolyte replacement drinks like Sqwincher.
- Shaded or air conditioned areas available for breaks and if employees need to recover.
- Taught employees the common signs and symptoms of heat illness.
- Reminded employees of the importance of drinking water frequently, even when they are not thirsty.
- Communicated to employees who should be notified if there is an emergency and that it is in everyone’s best interest to report symptoms early.
You may also consider providing your employees with cooling products such as Chill-Its cooling wrist sweatbands, towels, vests and hats. In addition, starting work earlier and ending earlier or adding more scheduled breaks during heat waves are options for consideration.

Only a healthy, vigorous potato plant will develop numerous and large potatoes for a rich harvest. An important factor for potato growth is sufficient moisture in the soil.
- Pour thyme - but with a sense of proportion
- Potatoes on balconies - this is how it works with potato cultivation in pots
- This is how it works with sowing the potatoes in the garden
If enough rain falls, additional watering in the garden is not necessary. If there is no rain for a long time, you have to water with the watering can. This is used anyway when you grow your potatoes in the tub on the balcony.
How is pouring?
- always water the plant base in a targeted manner
- in the garden once or twice a week
- on the balcony once a week, more often in severe drought
- early in the morning or in the evening (keeps the moisture in the soil longer)
- never at lunchtime, so that leaves do not burn
- best with stale rainwater
Watering can or hose?
In any case, you should use the watering can. When watering with a hose, there is a risk that the loosely piled dams will be washed away. In addition, the leaves would get too much water.
But please not too much
You can't please the potato with too much water. Too much moisture causes roots, bulbs and leaves to rot and makes them more susceptible to disease.
In the garden, let the soil dry thoroughly before watering it again. With the planter you have to pay attention to drainage holes so that the excess water can drain away.
Tips & Tricks
If you want to know whether the soil in the potato bucket is still sufficiently moist, the index finger test can help. If the soil is dry, when you put your whole finger into it, it is time to water. Then you wait to water until everything is dry again.

Only 22 out of 400 people were present from Marawa area in Atulugama, Bandaragama today for PCR and Rapid Antigen tests, Bandaragama Additional Health Officer Dr. Srimali Amarasinghe said.
She said Marawa area was chosen to conduct PCR and Rapid Antigen Tests, as more than 2,800 people are living in that area.
“We went to Marawa escorted by army and police personnel,” she said.
Our target was to conduct 400 PCR and 300 Rapid Antigen Tests, unfortunately, only 22 people turned up for tests, she said.
Following the Rapid Antigen tests performed today on the 22 people who were present, two were tested COVID-19 positive, Dr. Amarasinghe said.

(4.) The work participation rate
, set at 25% in 1997, increased to 50% in 2002.
Two other exclusions from the work participation rate
are allowed under federal law, at the state's discretion: (1) for mothers with children under age one, but only for a lifetime maximum of 12 months; and (2) for families who have been sanctioned for nonparticipation, but only for 3 months in every 12-month period.
A State's annual work participation rate
is based on the State's average monthly rate for the year.
The high work participation rate
of lone mothers makes Japan appear as an ideal scenario for policy makers in the United States, who have made a greater work participation rate
a primary goal of reform.
Table 1, which provides a comparative view of the labour force participation and work participation rates
based on the 1973 Housing, Economic and Demographic (HED) Survey, the 1981 Census, Labour Force Surveys and Fertility-related surveys; show that (1) the female activity rates, on the whole, are much lower than the corresponding male rates, and (2) the female rates, given in the 1981 Census, are lower by more than 50 percent for urban areas and more than 60 percent for rural areas in comparison with the levels reported in the 1973 HED.
Hence, this study is limited to demographic, urban population, sex ratio, literacy rate, educational attainment, work participation rate
and political representation of the community in the state.

* Have you given strong consideration to serving some families outside the TANF program so that parents unable to work 30 hours per week or those in activities such as substance abuse treatment or post-secondary education would not be counted against the state in its work participation rate
First, we show that, with a comprehensive list of control variables that include demographic, economic, and policy variables and a rich set of interaction terms, we are able to develop a model that rather successfully explains both the levels of and changes in welfare and work participation rates
among single mothers across states, time, and various demographic groups for the whole 1980-2002 period.
For the calculation of GEI and WDI the following three indicators were used: Work Participation Rate
, Literacy Rate (7+), and Infant Survival Rate.
Fifteen have current work participation rates
under 25 percent, so they would have to more than double them to reach the new federal standard.
The source of the real wage earnings increase can be decomposed into the fraction due to the increased work participation rate
, that due to increases in average hours worked per week (conditional on employment), and that due to increases in real hourly wages.

Ok, so we know that eating breakfast is an absolute must. It’s how you kick-start your metabolism, keep your blood sugar levels constant, improve concentration, feel better and maintain your weight.
But what foods should you be putting into your body in order to have a ripper day?
We sat down with Kirsty, Fast Fuel’s very own dietitian, to find out her top ingredient suggestions for the first meal of the day.
- They’re Low GI, which means they are absorbed and digested more slowly by the body. This results in less ‘spiking’ of your blood sugar levels (which result in energy highs and lows) so you experience more constant energy throughout the day.
- Oats contain an awesome soluble fibre called Beta-Glucan, which helps to reduce cholesterol, reduce blood sugar, makes you feel fuller AND encourages the growth of good bacteria in the body, especially the digestive tract.
- They’re full of antioxidants including avenanthramides, which are great at reducing blood pressure and inflammation in the body.
- They’re loaded with nutrients! As well as carbohydrates and fibre, oats contain over 10 essential nutrients and vitamins including magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc and folate.
- Oats are jam-packed full of nutrients and antioxidants but are also super low in calories. Half a cup of oats contains a tiny 303 calories, which means you can fill up without packing on the pounds.
- As if that’s not enough, oats are an incredibly versatile ingredient and can be used to make meals such as overnight oats, oat muffins, porridge and can even go well in smoothies.
- Yoghurt contains almost every essential vitamin and nutrient your body needs. It’s particularly high in calcium (healthy teeth and strong bones), B vitamins (protect against heart disease) and magnesium (regulates blood pressure).
- It’s super high in protein, which supports the effectiveness of your metabolism and helps regulate your appetite – making it perfect for anyone trying to lose weight and gain lean muscle!
- Some yoghurts naturally contain probiotics due to the nature of their starter culture, which aid digestive health and can help strengthen your immune system. Just be sure to check the label before you buy, as some manufacturers kill the probiotics during the heat treatment process when they’re pasteurized.
- They’re very high in nutritional value but very low in calories. A 28g serving contains 11 grams of fibre, 4 grams of protein and 5 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids… but only 137 calories!
- They’re high in Omega-3 fatty acids which are incredibly important for the body, assisting with everything from mental wellbeing to eye health. The only downside? They contain Omega-3 ALA, which is not absorbed by the body as efficiently as other variations – so make sure you incorporate other Omega-3 rich foods into your diet.
- Chia seeds are high in fibre and protein, which means greater feelings of satisfaction and fullness, improved digestion and the slower absorption of food.
- They’re good for your bones! One 28g serve contains 18% of your daily recommended intake of calcium, which is essential for strengthening bones and reducing your risk of osteoporosis.
- Eggs are absolutely loaded with protein (about 7.5g per 600g egg), most of it found in the whites. It’s also considered a ‘complete’ protein, as it contains all nine essential amino acids.
- They’re very nutrient dense and contain almost every essential compound the human body needs. Which makes sense, considering they contain everything required to grow a living, breathing chicken! (However as a small side note, we don’t recommend eating eggs every day of the week as the yokes are high in cholesterol. If you’re worried, try eating just the whites instead!)
- Ever heard of Choline? Probably not – it’s a nutrient that commonly gets overlooked, despite being the key ingredient for building cell membranes and repairing the body! A staggering 90% of people in the US are deficient in choline, with many of them not even knowing it. Make sure you get some eggs on your plate and keep your Choline levels optimal.
- Like eggs, quinoa is a complete protein and one of the best sources you can find.
- Compared to other common grains such as rice, quinoa contains about double the fibre!
- Quinoa is high in iron, which is essential for our red blood cell health and helps with haemoglobin formation, resulting in higher energy levels and more effective transmission of nutrients and hormones throughout the body.
- It’s also high in Riboflavin (otherwise known as Vitamin B2) which is essential for your metabolism and efficient energy production.
- Quinoa is great for immune health due to containing Manganese, which protects mitochondria and red blood cells in the body from free radicals.
- Almonds are full of antioxidants including Vitamin E, and help protect the body from oxidative stress, which contributes to the damage and ageing of the body over time. (Note: these are mostly found in the brown skin, so try to avoid eating blanched versions!)
- They’re great for regulating your blood sugar levels due to their low carb, high fibre and high protein composition. They also contain Magnesium, which further aids this.
- Almonds help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol… but also help prevent the oxidation of LDL, which is a key part of the development of heart disease. The skin of almonds contains polyphenol antioxidants, which are the body’s natural defense against LDL oxidation!
When’s The Best Time To Eat Breakfast?
There’s so much conflicting information, fad diets and ‘fitness experts’ out and about, claiming all sorts of things when it comes to the what to eat – and when to eat – the first meal of the day.
Guys, the rule is simple: get up and get fuelled. Whether you’re up and hitting the gym, prefer a slower morning routine or enjoy some gentle cardio – the rule stays the same.
Why? Because when your body is in fast mode (i.e., first thing in the morning) it turns to your muscle to use as fuel. If you’re trying to build or maintain your physique, this is clearly a bad thing! But this also applies to people trying to lose weight – muscle helps your metabolism work more effectively when at rest, and therefore to lose weight (and maintain your loss long term) you need lean muscle.
If you’re up early and exercising first thing, try eating half a banana before and a full breakfast after. This will get your body out of fast mode and help you build and retain muscle, without making you feel sick from working out on a full stomach. If you’re up early but don’t exercise for an hour or so, make eating breakfast your first step of the day.
Getting the good stuff into your diet…

Brussels (Brussels Morning) A solidary fund totalling 186 million euro to help the unemployed was adopted yesterday by the European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, following its adoption earlier this month by the European Council on 8 April.
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was created originally to provide support for people who have suffered job losses as a result of major structural changes caused by globalisation, technological or environmental change.
The EGF finances labour-active market measures to provide training for employees, job searches and business start-ups in response to significant lay-offs caused by globalisation or financial crises.
“The fund will be crucial in helping dismissed workers during these difficult times. It is now better equipped to help us face the challenges ahead and it will cover any type of redundancies following restructuring”, MEP Vilija Blinkeviciute (S&D) stated.
According to a Commission review of EGF activities in 2017 and 2018, ten member states submitted 13 applications targeting 12,896 workers and 1,155 young people who were without work, or were not enrolled in educational or training programmes, requiring an outlay of 41 million euro.
During those same years, Parliament and the Council adopted 15 decisions mobilizing EGF funding for a total amount of 45.5 million euro to support 14, 517 beneficiaries.
“We propose to support 500 dismissed foundry workers in Germany with 1,1 million euro from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund”, the Commission announced yesterday, in a show of support that the workers would find a way back to employment through “mentoring and retraining”.
The EU executive also announced 3.7 million euro to support nearly 1,500 dismissed airport workers in Belgium.
In December 2020, Council and Parliament reached agreement on upgrading the EGF’s capacity to enable it to more effectively support workers who have lost their jobs.
Previously, workers eligible for support from the fund had to have been laid off as a result of changing trade patterns or because of the consequences of the financial and economic crisis. Yesterday’s decision broadens the range of eligibility so that it will also help ameliorate the impact of globalisation.
The parliamentary debate delivered some additional adjustments. The threshold number of dismissed workers now required in order to make an eligibility claim has been lowered from 500 to 200, opening the way for more workers to benefit from EGF support.
MEPs also called on special measures like a childcare allowance for child caretakers to rely on when taking part in training or looking for a job.
“The EGF fund is one of the most important tools of the European Union. It is the one that is often more closely felt by the citizens who having been made redundant are in a transitional and often vulnerable stage of their lives”, MEP Dragos Pislaru (Renew Europe) declared.
The EGF programme is financed by the Multiannual Financial Framework, which has been extended from 2021 until 2027.

The other day, a friend and I were discussing Michael B Jordan. She had just watched Creed (which I really enjoyed) and was impressed by his work. I hesistated on whether to share my unpopular opinion but I took the plunge and let her know that I didn’t feel the same way.
I honestly don’t know what it is but I am yet to see a movie role of his in which I am convinced of his acting. Now let me clarify that I find this so weird because prior to Jordan’s rise to popularity, I absolutely loved him on TV, specifically – The Wire, Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. So why isn’t it gelling for me in movies? For me, the biggest thing is that every time I watch him in a movie, I can see him acting and it never seems natural.
And that’s what led to my question, “What makes a good actor?”
I think a good actor is someone who makes me forget the actor playing the role and totally sucks me in. Someone with range and that’s versatile plays a good deal too in being a good actor.
side bar – A few years ago I remember saying that Will Smith was a better actor than Denzel eek! Will Smith’s recent string of failures haven’t helped my cause but I think what I was trying to say was that Will was more versatile. Denzel – who I think is a fantastic actor – can be sometimes one note. It’s like I see a similarity to all his characters. The mention of versatility above just reminded me of this but I digress.
Not long after the conversation about Michael B Jordan, I watched Trumbo and Bryan Cranston became my perfect example of what a good actor is. From Malcolm in the Middle to the arguably iconic Walter White on Breaking Bad. If I can watch him as Trumbo and not even think of him as Walter White, I think that is some feat that I find very impressive.
The other angle is if you are a super star off screen and are still able to make me forget your personal life, then you are good in my book. In this area, this is where I give kudos to Brad Pitt. Doesn’t matter how small a role (like in 12YAS or The Big Short) or if it is a leading role, I completely forget that he is this mega star with a personal life a lot of the world is interested in. This is actually what I think hinders Beyonce from being a good actress. She hasn’t honed in on the skill that turns off her “superstar”. Every time I watch her, it’s always “this is Beyonce playing xyz” or “I wonder what Jay-z thinks about this scene”…or maybe she just can’t act. I did like her in Cadillac Records.
Anyways, those are my thoughts on what makes a good actor. What do you think ? Also, what do you think about Michael B Jordan ?

Jaime King shows off her growing baby bump at The CW Network’s New York 2013 Upfront Presentation held at The London Hotel on Thursday (May 16) in New York City.
The 34-year-old pregnant actress was joined at the event by her Hart of Dixie co-stars Scott Porter and Wilson Bethel, who met up with Arrow‘s Stephen Amell and his wife Cassandra Jean inside the affair.
“I loved that there was no choosing of a side either way and that they are all going to be able to focus back on themselves and where they all stand, not only with each other but in the world,” Scott told JustJared.com about the finale. “Hopefully we’ll come back next year and be a little bit more mature.”
Hart of Dixie will be airing on a brand new night in the Fall – check out the full CW schedule in case you missed it!

The North Berkeley Rail Trail Task Force was selected to receive the 2018 West Virginia Brownfield Award for its dedication for community engagement and support of brownfields redevelopment in West Virginia.
A brownfield is a former industrial or commercial site where future use is affected by real or perceived environmental contamination. Remediation is the process of improving or correcting the situation.
The trail head for the future trail begins behind the Berkeley Springs Train Depot on Williams Street. It is a former CSX site that was used as a railroad yard and was contaminated with Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons and arsenic.
The trail is expected to follow the Warm Springs Run from the train depot, along the old railroad bed, and end at Sandmine Road.
The North Berkeley Rail Trail is a joint effort by the Town of Bath and the Morgan County Commission.
Last January the Town of Bath, which owns the property, became a participant in a voluntary remediation program through the Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) at the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) to clean up the contaminated land.
In June 2017 a $100,000 grant was awarded to the town for the North Berkeley Rail Trail from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clean up the parcel of land behind the train depot complex, which is to be used as a trail head for the trail.
Funding for the North Berkeley Rail Trail development has been in place for several years, but trail construction cannot begin until the two trail head lots are ready for recreational use.
Previous soil testing and cleanup activities were done in 2006 and 2010.
Committee member Bill Clark, executive director of the Eastern Panhandle Regional Planning and Development Council (Region 9)
said it was an honor to be recognized, and that the task force has done a lot of hard work.
The awards ceremony will be held on September 7 in Charleston.
Soil sampling has been done and accepted by the WVDEP, committee member Larry Lower said on Monday.
The committee is in the process of preparing a risk analysis and preparing a remediation plan by capping and covering the soil from the trail head on Williams Street to Parcel Three, about one-quarter mile from the depot.
Capping involves placing a fabric barrier over the soil and it will be covered either with asphalt or gravel, Lower said.
He said things are coming together regarding the depot lot and the depot building and public input is needed.
A meeting with the public is planned for late September to discuss the rail trail project, the train depot, and the Streetscapes project Phase Four A that is set to begin in the spring.

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Robert Knight was published January 2, 2012 in The Washington Times.
The most consequential election in our lifetime is still 10 months away, but it’s clear from the Obama administration’s order halting South Carolina’s new photo ID law that the Democrats already have brought a gun to a knife fight.
How else to describe this naked assault on the right of a state to create minimal requirements to curb voter fraud?
On Dec. 23, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez sent a letter ordering South Carolina to stop enforcing its photo ID law. Mr. Perez, who heads the Civil Rights Division that booted charges against the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters in Philadelphia in 2008, said South Carolina’s law would disenfranchise thousands of minority voters.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson rejected Mr. Perez’s math and explained on Fox News why the law is necessary. The state Department of Motor Vehicles audited a state Election Commission report that said 239,333 people were registered to vote but had no photo ID. The DMV found that 37,000 were deceased, more than 90,000 had moved to other states, and others had names not matched to IDs. That left only 27,000 people registered without a photo ID but who could vote by signing an affidavit as to their identity.
Mr. Wilson told me by phone Thursday that he would file a challenge to the order in federal district court in January. Asked whether he felt South Carolina was being singled out, he declined to speculate on motives. However, citing the National Labor Relations Board’s order to invalidate the voter-approved union card check amendment, the NLRB’s order to stop a new Boeing Co. plant, and the Justice Department’s suit to halt the state’s immigration law, he said, “There certainly is a pattern of the federal government overreaching into South Carolina.”
Leading Democrats loudly equate recently enacted photo ID legislation as updated versions of Jim Crow laws that once robbed people of their constitutional right to vote simply because of their race. But photo ID laws and other voter integrity measures cover everyone. Like other states, South Carolina provides photo IDs if a person cannot afford one.
The U.S. Constitution empowers the states to enact voting procedures with minimal input from the national government, such as setting the voting age and election days for federal offices. The 15th and 19th amendments ensure that no one is denied the right to vote based on race or sex.
In 1965, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which authorizes the U.S. attorney general or a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to review changes to voting procedures or redistricting in nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia), some counties in California, Florida, New York, North Carolina and South Dakota, and some townships in Michigan and New Hampshire.
Congress did so to counter clearly established patterns of voter intimidation of blacks. Now, the Justice Department, which, under Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. could be renamed the Retribution Department, looks the other way depending on the race of the parties involved.
In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s 2005 photo ID law, which the Democratic Party and several interest groups had challenged as a “severe burden.”
But, as American Civil Rights Union attorney Peter Ferrara noted in the group’s friend- of-the-court brief:
“No one has been denied the right to vote by the Indiana Voter ID Law. The record clearly establishes without challenge that 99 percent of the Voting Age Population in Indiana already has the required ID, in the form of driver’s licenses, passports, or other identification. Of the remaining 1 percent, senior citizens and the disabled are automatically eligible to vote by absentee ballot, and such absentee voting is exempt from the Voter ID Law.”
Does that sound “severe” to you?As Mr. Ferrara notes, “the slight burden of additional paperwork for a fraction of 1 percent, to show who they are and thereby prove their eligibility to vote, cannot come close to outweighing the interests of all legitimate legal voters in maintaining their effective vote.”
A bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform in 2005 chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker III found no evidence that requiring photo IDs would suppress the minority vote. The panel recommended a national photo ID system and a campaign to register voters.
In a 2008 column, Mr. Carter and Mr. Baker cited a study by American University’s Center for Democracy and Election Management that echoed the election commission. Among other things, researchers found that in three states – Indiana, Mississippi and Maryland – about 1.2 percent of registered voters had no photo ID.
Since the GOP took a majority of governorships and legislatures in 2010 and continued enacting voting safeguards, you can feel the panic in Democratic strongholds.
The Obama administration is playing the same race card that Democrats have played for decades. But this is not about race; it’s about whether legitimately cast votes will be wiped out by illegally cast votes.
In Chicago, a federal investigation of the 1982 gubernatorial election estimated that at least 100,000 illegal votes had been cast and that voter fraud had been routine for many years. In 1960, Mayor Richard J. Daley’s Chicago Democrat machine almost certainly sealed John F. Kennedy’s presidential election by delaying reporting by Democratic-controlled precincts and counting them for Kennedy.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon, the Republican candidate, had a compelling case for a challenge, but chose not to do so. The media would have crucified him as a sore loser without seriously investigating fraud allegations.
Conversely, in 2000, when Democrat Al Gore challenged George W. Bush’s razor-thin victory in Florida, the media flogged Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris because she refused to overlook “hanging chads” and other questionable vote counting.
The stakes are enormous, and the Obama administration is quite aware of the danger posed by an aroused electorate on a level playing field.
With the economy in a ditch, their only hope of stemming the conservative tide might be to rig the returns, especially where political machines still prevail.

Facebook is now working on a new ‘Green screen’ option within the Facebook Stories creative tools, which will allow users to add a background image or a video to their stories.
Facebook is testing a ‘Green screen’ option for Facebook Stories
— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) March 22, 2021
As you can see above the new Green Screen option will be available to use in the creation tools. Users will be able to add a video or photo from their camera roll which will be added as a background. Users will be able to make content that will be overlaid over that background visual. The option comes from Instagram where this Green Screen tool is already available.
This could provide new creative opportunities for brands to enhance their Facebook Stories. It is worth considering and there is no such information on the full roll-out of the option but some users have access to the Green Screen option in the Facebook Stories right now.

Despite a White House ban, Bradlee refuses to take the acerbic Judith Martin (Jessie Mueller) off the Tricia Nixon wedding, and that minor decision reflects his core values. “The Post” has some good tense scenes set in the analog era of reporting, notably when Ben Bagdikian (Bob Odenkirk), the harried Post reporter with a long-time connection to Ellsberg, hunts him down using multiple pay phones, then flies to Washington with the boxed papers in their own special seat.
The shoe-leather dimension of reporting has always been more dramatic than contemporary scenes of investigators staring into their computer terminals.
Yet both those films had a depth and mystery and power that transcended the moment; you could watch them 20 years from now and they would still echo.
“The Post,” written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer in a mode that’s bounding and busy and a little too expository, is a more pointedly utilitarian, less imaginative movie — it’s high-carb docudrama prose rather than poetry.
When he and two of his reporters first see the Pentagon Papers story on a newsstand, learning about it along with everyone else, Bradlee knows how historically vital it is — but he also knows that he’s been scooped.
That’s a lesson that has rarely needed to be heard as much as it does today.
“The Post” is a movie of galvanizing relevance, one that’s all but certain to connect with an inspiringly wide audience (I predict a 0 million gross) and with the currents of awards season.
Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Bruce Greenwood, Matthew Rhys, Bob Odenkirk, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sarah Paulson, Tracy Letts, Bradley Whitford, Alison Brie, Jessie Mueller, Jesse Plemons, David Cross, Carrie Coon, Zach Woods.
Steven Spielberg’s “The Post” throttles along in a pleasurably bustling, down-to-the-timely-minute way.
At the same time, part of what rescues the movie from any vestige of preachiness is that it’s framed as a business drama.

Writer: Dan Jurgens
Artists: Scot Eaton and Wayne Faucher
Color Artist: Jim Charalampidis
Letterer: Tom Napolitano
Review by Steve J. Ray
Titans – Burning Rage #3 seems to wrap up the Fearsome Five tale which started in issue #1, but the menace of H.I.V.E. remains, and Raven’s runaway powers also help make the issue a fascinating read.
Back in the halcyon days of the New Teen Titans, Raven was always one of my favorite characters. Though I’m gradually getting used to her 21st Century look (I still far prefer the long haired George Perez version) seeing her character remain consistent makes me happy. In theory Raven is one of the most powerful magic users in the DC Universe, so seeing those powers control her – as opposed to her controlling them – always raises the stakes, and the danger levels, in every issue she appears in.
Dan Jurgens really is a master of comics storytelling, as the way he handles both emotion and action is incredible. This is a writer that makes balance and control look easy. There are many nuances in the way he weaves a tale; leaving clues and answering only a few questions at a time… which is great fun to read. One truly feels rewarded for sticking with Jurgens’ stories, and that’s just as true of this mini-series as it is with his excellent ongoing books, Batman Beyond and Nightwing.
Of course, comics are something we read, but they’re an art-form that relies on both words and pictures in equal measure. This doesn’t just mean plot and line-art, it also depends on great colors and lettering. The team working on this series is one made up entirely of industry pros. Scot Eaton has always been one of the most consistent pencillers in the business, and Wayne Faucher is an inker’s inker; a man who has his own style, but doesn’t smother the penciller’s, making both talents look great in the process.
I’m still fairly new to Jim Charalampidis’ work, but his colors on this book marry perfectly with the line art. Once again, this is a tale of enhancement, where some color artists wash away any semblance of the original art style, the work in this series elevates and completes the work of the penciller and inker.
What can I say about Tom Napolitano’s work that I haven’t already said before, particularly after his stellar work on the recently concluded Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III? Letterers aren’t always appreciated, and that makes me sad. Like successful movie scores, it seems like the work of letterers isn’t meant to really be noticed, it’s there to help tell the story, and not take the audience’s attention away from it. If that’s the case, then Mr. Napolitano succeeds, and has done so for many years. I have to say though, that I do notice, I care and I appreciate. I love comics stories, and I adore comics art… but there wouldn’t be anything to actually read without a letterer.
One threat may be over, but the fact that this series is only a quarter done means that the action is just beginning. Titans – Burning Rage #3 delivered a rip-roaring feast for the senses. I also know though, that all of this is but a juicy entree, set to whet our appetites for the main course yet to come. There have been revelations, double crosses, violence and super-powers gone awry… but I know that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
I’ll be back next month. Join me, won’t you?
