In the second article of this series, four different team members each share their favorite covers and why they're so important.
Wonderworld Comics #7
I'm a huge fan of legendary artist Lou Fine, and this is my favorite example of his genius draftsmanship and layout — Wonderworld Comics #7. His covers and interiors were so dynamic and beautifully illustrated, it's no wonder that he served as inspiration to legends to come, such as Jim Steranko and Jack Kirby.
Shawn Caffrey, Finalizer, Copper and Modern Age Specialist
Though at first glance it may seem like a cover with not a lot to it, Superman #32 is definitely one of my favorite Golden Age covers. Struck by several bolts of lightning, Superman feels barely anything; in fact, it only tickles him, proving without a single doubt — and with just simple imagery — that he truly is a man of steel.
Josh Hanin, CGC Grader, Ungerground Specialist
Jumbo Comics #12
The Will Eisner–drawn cover to Jumbo Comics #12 from February 1940 is one of my all-time favorites. The artist's talent for illustrating from an angled perspective, coupled with his attention for detail, makes this scene a real beauty. Action and adventure oozes from every square inch of this colorful, swashbuckling masterpiece.
Vince Oliva, CGC Grader
Amazing Adventures #29
The cover perfectly reflects the character's motivation. No pretense — just put down those who oppress humanity, regardless of the cost to self.
John Savage, CGC Grader

The basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore is a church which is inbergamo high, in piazza del Duomo. Built in the second half of the 12th century, the exterior retains the Romanesque-Lombard architecture, while the Interior is decorated in the Baroque style (1500 to 1700). It was originally the Church of St. Vincent's Cathedral, built next to the Diocesan curia of Bergamo.
It was built to fulfil a vow to our Lady in 1133 by Baggio because protected from the plague that Bergamo was cutting down on Northern Italy.
The northern gate, known as the Red lions, which opens in the left transept and leads

When Vancouver officially chose a company to provide its bike-share system two years ago, public optimism about this popular new system of mass locomotion was at a high. New York City and Chicago were about to kick off their systems, while London and Paris were steaming along. Since then, Vancouver, along with the rest of the bike-share world, has been on a roller-coaster ride.
One of the continent’s major suppliers of bikes and docks, Montreal’s Public Bike System Company, or Bixi, went into bankruptcy protection. That had a huge impact on the company Vancouver had chosen—Alta Bicycle Share of Portland, Oregon, which had provided the New York and Chicago systems, along with those in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.
At the same time, even some of the most successful bike-share systems have discovered that maintaining corporate sponsorships—a key element to subsidizing the systems—can be a challenge. A particularly harsh winter has raised the question of whether programs such as New York City’s Citibike will be sustainable.
But the leaders at Alta, which morphed over the last five years from a small planning and design company to the continent’s major comprehensive provider of bike-share planning, management, and systems, says the industry is headed for even more growth—and Vancouver will get its system soon.
“We are pretty scrappy, determined, and constantly improving our model,” says Mia Birk, president of Alta Bicycle Share, which now has 500 employees. “And we’ve only scratched the surface of what bike-share will likely become.”
In late January, Alta announced that it has formed a new partnership with 8D Technologies to provide the software needed for bike-share systems it plans to launch in 2014. (8DT was the original provider for Bixi software before Bixi decided to try to develop its own, as it partnered with Alta to get the contracts for big U.S. cities.)
Another group is equally optimistic about the future of bike-share: experts who have been studying this mushrooming form of alternative transit, which now extends to almost three dozen cities in North America.
“Clearly, [Bixi’s] problems are going to have some impact,” says Susan Shaheen, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley’s Transportation Sustainability Research Center. “But a long-term effect seems unlikely. There are all kinds of vendors and operators doing systems every day. The momentum around this is growing.”
As in any new industry, there’s a shake-out period, says Shaheen, who did a comprehensive study of the emerging bike-share sector in 2012. “The business model hasn’t been totally worked out. But I get the sense that they are starting to understand where the revenue streams are.”
As well, said Shaheen, at least some cities are beginning to understand that bike-share systems aren’t going to make money and they’re not intended to make money.
“This is an extension of a public transit network. It’s not as simple as ‘Are you in the black or are you not?’ ” Just as transit systems require a subsidy to operate, so does this new part of the transit system.
Birk, a former planner with the city of Portland, says it has been a discovery for everyone that setting up bike-share systems is more challenging than it looks on the surface. “It’s like launching a transit system. It’s very complex.”
Her company provides the full palette of services, from planning where the docks should go to getting permits to finding sponsors to setting up crews to do the labor-intensive maintenance and redistribution needed (bikes always end up piling up at some docks at certain times of the day, so someone has to come with a truck and move them around).
That kind of turnkey operation is one that larger cities have been attracted to. (Smaller cities or big cities with smaller systems have tended to opt for a nonprofit operator, responsible for finding sponsors and grants, that contracts with one or more companies to provide the bikes, docks, software, and payment collection.)
The signs of health in the explosively growing bike-share industry are that new cities are coming on board (Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, among about a dozen, are due to announce who their providers will be) and that everyone is adjusting to the Bixi implosion.
Back in Vancouver, at least some city councillors are still enthusiastic about the bike-share model, in spite of the long wait (the city first started talking about putting in a bike-share system in 2008) and the blowback from political opponents.
“I still believe it’s a positive addition to the transportation network,” says Raymond Louie, a city councillor who has used and appreciated bike-share networks in several other cities.
Vancouver has had more challenges than most cities hurling themselves into the bike-share wave.
Because of provincial laws, it has had to ask Alta to figure out a way to provide a helmet-dispensing system, unlike almost every other bike-share city in the world.
Alta is still hoping to get its promised bike-share system—with an initial start of 1,500 bikes and 125 stations—into Vancouver before the end of 2014.
A final sign of health in the business: it is producing new competitors. Four top executives who left Alta in recent months have formed a new company in Portland—Bicycle Transit—that is offering its services to the many cities still interested in bike-share. That company expects to make announcements this year about new customers.

my love affair with the car
The south of France, 1987.
South Downs 1983, but the national plates on the front give you an idea of how well travelled this Austin Morris JU250 was!
Yesterday, Plymouth, almost giving me second thoughts!
I had an annoying number of anti-car rants submitted as comments a couple of days ago, none of which I allowed through.
No matter what agenda some of you may want to push, this site will NEVER be anti car. Go to some environmentalist or cycling sites if you want to sound off. YOU ARE TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT.
Like most transport enthusiasts I actually love the car. I've owned many, including more than a couple of sports convertibles! Within a few months of passing my test in 1980 I drove all over Europe and loved every second of it. Just a few years ago I took a D reg Escort convertible all the way down to southern Hungary, via Poland and Slovakia. I spent four years as a lorry driver. We still use a car, when absolutely essential!
We've no agenda to 'kill off' the car. The car is dying through the soon to be obvious end of cheap oil. There's nothing we can do to stop it, but hopefully we can make the conversion process as comfortable as possible. The New S&D is very much part of this process, replacing the congested and seriously inefficient road system that has never adequately replaced the old S&D with a modern, community owned, fast and clean railway, taking passengers and freight off the roads and ensuring that once the oil does finally go (probably somewhere between 2025 and 2035, although I'm very optimistic - it could be a lot sooner!) we can not only still get around but do so in a manner that only the railways can manage - quick, clean, sustainable, relaxed.
I think for a few years, as the freight moves rapidly to rail and fewer and fewer people can afford to run a car, there will be a second golden age of the car, with empty (if decaying) roads. I think that those of us that can afford to still be personally mobile should make the most of it - we'll never see the likes again.

Cloverdale residents must purchase 2014 dog tags
Following several months of discussion, the Town of Cloverdale recently passed Ordinance 2010-10 Dog Tax in accordance with Cloverdale Town Code Section 6-26.
Under this ordinance, all owners are required to purchase a dog tag for $5 for all animals over six months of age. This tax must be paid annually. Tags for 2014 are now available and can be purchased at the clerk-treasurers office.
It is the owner's responsibly to control and retain their animals. The town reminds residents that any animal that runs at large, attacks other animals, molests a passerby or passing vehicle, barks, whines or howls in an excessive continuous or untimely fashion, damages private property or trespasses on school grounds is considered to be a public nuisance.
For more information on the ordinance or to purchase a tag visit the Town Hall at 154 S. Main St.

This has profound implications for the legitimacy of violence. The outside has become the inside. Dar al-Harb no longer exists. There is no external realm of war. Hence the rules of war no longer apply, only the much more stringent rules that traditionally applied to domestic violence. Here, classical Islam has more to teach us than the just war tradition. Since the whole world is a community, everyone is, in effect, a Muslim. Thus the way force is used against dissenters is subject to severe limitations – the limitations that apply to policing in the Western tradition. In a single community, there is no such thing as foreign aggression – violent attacks are crimes or human rights violations. Force is legitimate, under domestic law, in self-defence or to save a third party. But this refers to direct defence, not the kind of ‘pre-emptive’ or long-distance defence claimed both for air strikes and suicide bombers. Killing of both combatants and non-combatants is wrong. Those who commit violent acts should be arrested and judged in a legal framework. Killing of non-combatants is wrong whether deliberate, as in the case of suicide bombing, or accidental, as the Americans, Israelis and Russians claim.
Further, no effort has been made in this chapter to consider radical alternatives such as abandoning the United Nations as a site of struggle for a better world. The slogan of the World Social Forum, ‘another world is possible’, does not entail rejecting those features of the existing world order that hold some promise for the present and future. The United Nations, despite limitations and disappointments, remains a source of hope for improving the circumstances of humanity. It deserves the attention of global civil society, both in appreciation of its substantial achievements and to monitor its failures to uphold the UN Charter and the rule of law. The progressive reform of the UN is an integral aspect of any plausible programme for the extension of democracy and the material foundations of human dignity to disadvantaged states and regions, as well as to the world. In a broader sense, a more effective and democratic UN is indispensable to building a world order premised on the ‘cosmopolitan democracy’ school of thought (Archibugi 2003; Archibugi and Held 1995).
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, democracy promotion means imaginative responses to demands from global civil society. The best form of empowerment is success, the knowledge that engagement leads to meaningful outcomes. Action designed to fulfil an emerging global social contract or covenant – the consequence of numerous debates, campaigns, arguments taking place all over the world – offers a political project that can help to recast democracy at local and national levels. A good example of what is meant by this is the enlargement of the European Union. The European Union can be understood a new type of multilateral organisation at a regional level, promoting, as it were, regional public goods. Membership of the European Union for newly emerging democracies has become an appealing political project that does take democracy forward. In the same way, a global social covenant could offer a political project for ‘civilising’ globalisation and pressing for global public goods like resource redistribution or global action to tackle climate change that represents an alternative to backward-looking sectarianism.
Apart from the notes of caution inserted by Habermas and others concerning the application of the ideal-typical concept of the public sphere to reality, the new enthusiasts also tend to miss the fact that for Habermas, and even in the seminal work on civil society by Cohen and Arato (1992), the only imaginable relevant context was the state. Their public spheres end neatly at the border, civil society is national, and the formation of public opinion only relates to decision making by government and parliament. Habermas saw ‘the potential for self-annihilation on a global scale’ (1989 : 235) as adding emphasis to Kant’s call for a ‘cosmopolitan order’, but this was only within the frame of a world of nation states.

Yoshinori Ono might be half-dead, but that hasn’t stopped him from keeping a personal SDCC tradition alive and well. The Street Fighter IV producer took the stage earlier in the week during Capcom’s 25th Anniversary panel and once again teased fans hoping for an announcement regarding the long-awaited next entry in the Darkstalkers franchise.
In the past Ono has asked for a show of hands (filled with money) as a symbol of fan support for a new game. “This year, you don’t have to do that”, said the face of Capcom’s fighting game division. “And it’s not necessarily bad news!” Ono went on to explain that he couldn’t say much more than that, likely fearing the wrath of his much maligned corporate overlords.
This non-announcement follows reports back in March suggesting that Ono has shifted his attentions following the release of Street Fighter X Tekken and the next game would use a modified version of the Street Fighter IV engine. It sure sounds like there’s a new Darkstalkers in the works, at least I hope so.

The present study tested models of polygenic by environment interaction between early childhood family instability and polygenic risk for aggression predicting developmental trajectories of aggression from middle childhood to adolescence. With a longitudinal sample of 515 racially and ethnically diverse children from low-income families, primary caregivers reported on multiple components of family instability annually from child ages 2–5 years. A conservative polygenic risk score (p = 0.05) was generated based on a prior meta-genome wide association study. Trajectories of aggression were identified using a curve of factors model based on a composite of primary caregiver, alternate caregiver, and teacher reports at five ages from 7.5 to 14 years. The family instability by polygenic interaction predicted growth in children’s aggression such that children with lower levels of family instability and lower polygenic risk exhibited a steeper decline in aggression from 7.5 to 14. Findings support the need to model gene-environment interplay to elucidate the role of genetics in the development of aggressive behaviors.

Products that people in Texas use every day may actually pose serious hazards for children. Several items have recently been recalled due to product defects. One defective product being recalled is a crib mobile, while another is a bean-bag chair.
If a doctor in Texas does not appropriately diagnose and then treat a patient, he or she might be held liable in Texas. One man in a recent out-of-state case said his doctor did not diagnose or treat his heart problem properly. He has thus filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against both the physician and the group to which the doctor belongs.
When a person’s death is caused by another person’s negligence, the surviving family members can bring a claim for their losses. This is known as a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim can arise out of a number of different situations, such as medical malpractice, a car accident, exposure to hazardous conditions at work, or criminal behavior. If your loved one was killed due to the negligence of another, you should consider filing a wrongful death claim.
A truck that is fully loaded with cargo is a difficult massive in size and weight in comparison to other vehicles on the highways in and around San Antonio, Texas. Keeping drivers alert and preventing truck driver fatigue has always been a concern for government officials who are all too aware of the dangers posed by an inattentive truck driver speeding along the highway.
Consider a situation in which a loved one of yours is experiencing unusual stomach-related symptoms involving pain, indigestion and occasional vomiting. Doctors perform tests that are inconclusive; they tell your relative that he may be suffering from from a food allergy, or stress, or maybe even an ulcer. Only later on, when it is too late, does the real cause turn out to be stomach cancer that leads to the death of that person.


What is a Way Homer?
It's not always possible for an audience member to catch every single detail in a movie or understand every reference in a comedian's monologue. Some jokes or clues or other obscure details might only begin to make sense on the way home from the theater or after a second viewing. This kind of epiphany after the fact is often called a way homer, since that is the precise moment many audience members have it, on the way home.
A way homer can be a background detail or a cryptic bit of dialogue which doesn't appear to make sense during the first viewing. A movie about a raging alcoholic, for example, might include a scene where the main character watches a classic film on television. The scene may not make much sense at the time, but on the way home the viewer might realize the clip was from a classic alcohol-themed movie such as The Days of Wine and Roses. The reference would be considered a way homer.
A comedian may also deliver a more sophisticated or cerebral joke during his stand-up routine that may appear to bomb with the audience at the time. In actuality, the comedian would most like call the joke a "way homer" because he knows some audience members will get the real gist of the joke on their way home from the show. While it might not be a good idea for a comedian to fill his or her act with cerebral or obscure jokes, the occasional "way homer" can be very effective. Comedians such as Sara Silverman and the late Mitch Hedberg are well-known for their use of obscure references or intellectual humor.
Some movie makers such as the Coen and Zucker brothers are famous for including a number of way homer moments in their films. It may take several viewings in order to notice all of the in-jokes, movie spoofs and pop culture references in movies such as Fargo and Airplane. In the Alan Parker film The Commitments, all of the posters displayed in the video store promote actual Alan Parker films, a detail many viewers may miss the first time. Almost every episode of the sitcom Seinfeld contains at least one reference to Superman, which would be another way homer detail for those who view syndicated reruns of the show.
A way homer moment can often be a satisfying intellectual or pop cultural "snack" after enjoying the broad strokes of a well-crafted movie for the first time.
@matthewc23 - I find Robin Williams to be the most talented when delivering these so-called way homer punch lines.
I graduated with a degree in English Literature, and sometimes when he does his comic impressions, he delivers lines that you would only understand if you had read some books or been around the humanities for awhile.
I’m not saying that all of his humor is like that, but I’ve picked up on a few of his witticisms. There’s a certain satisfaction in finding a comedian who has an appreciation for the arts (I understand Williams had some exposure to Julliard’s so he’s been around that neck of the woods for quite some time).
In my opinion, we need to elevate the public discourse a little more (I can’t stand dirty jokes), educate the public and raise up comedians who can deliver true wit, instead of groveling to base appetites.
@kentuckycat - I agree with most comedians having to play to the lowest common denominator when they are really more talented.
I think just being a comedian means that you have to have a very good grasp on the language and how jokes can work together. If you have ever seen Larry the Cable Guy on TV interviews, he is very intelligent. Unfortunately, his schtick doesn't give him much room for exploring more creative jokes.
I have found that a lot of Quentin Tarantino's movies have way homers. Since most of his movies are not linear, I always find that I have to watch them two or three times before I pick up on all the subtleties. Even them, I'm not sure that I've caught all of them.
I really enjoy music that is able to incorporate obscure references that you start to pick up on after listening to the song a few times.
I have never heard this phrase before, but it has happened to me several times.
For anyone who watched the series Arrested Development, there were tons of way homer jokes. It's a shame that there aren't more shows like this today that really make you think about the meaning of the joke. I think too many movies and comedians rely on making people laugh with crude humor when there are still people around who are able to appreciate subtle jokes and puns. That is just my two cents worth, though.

Panel – Shipping’s 4th Propulsion Revolution – The Commitment and the Challenge
Over the past 100 years of shipping, we have seen vessels powered by sail, vessels powered by coal and vessels powered by oil and gas. Now, in response to the climate crisis, industry has committed to decarbonise by using more efficient technologies, using lower emission fuels and, ultimately, moving to new zero-carbon fuel sources created from renewable energy. Increasing the speed and scale of the transition will be vital, and this session will look at what is already being done to bring into service zero and lower carbon ships and what is needed to increase the pace of this deployment:
• What can be done today to deploy zero and lower carbon ships?
• What technologies will be available in the coming years to provide the step change needed?
• What is needed to scale up the transition to zero-emission ships?
• What is needed from policy makers to accelerate decarbonisation?
• What are the biggest roadblocks that need to be overcome?

Shaping the Policy, Technology, and Frameworks for Shipping’s Future
Shipping has an advantage over many sectors in that it has a global regulator. In addition to the vital role of the International Maritime Organization, there are many additional levers that can be applied to accelerate and scale the decarbonisation of the maritime sector. This session will identify the policies, technologies and frameworks that will be required to increase the speed and scale of transition. We will consider the actions needed to reduce political and investment risk to catalyse a rapid transformation to a zero-carbon future for shipping:
- What can industry do to prepare and move towards a zero-carbon future?
- What can governments do to catalyse the transition to a zero-emissions future?
- What market signals are required to deliver an equitable transition and how to you manage the trade-offs inherent in transformation?
- How best to encourage and develop a climate of innovation?

Shaping the Infrastructure Required to Deliver an Equitable Transition
Shipping currently uses approximately 4% of the worlds liquid fuels to transport 90% of the world’s goods. This includes transporting most of the fuels needed to power the worlds transport system, industry and to provide heat. Shipping is therefore intrinsically linked to the global energy transformation but is too often forgotten when it comes to planning the massive infrastructure investments that will be required to decarbonise the global fossil fuels market. Shipping also needs to be assured that fuels will be available across the world and not just on certain routes in developed economies. To ensure that the energy transition is equitable for all, this session will look at the transformation in thinking required to ensure that infrastructure does not block the transition to a zero-carbon future.
- How can shipping ensure security of supply in a high-demand market for zero-carbon fuels?
- What impact will competition with other sectors have on the price and availability of future fuels?
- How do we ensure that there is sufficient investment in infrastructure, in all regions of the world, to ensure that shipping can decarbonise in line with the Paris goals?
- What is needed to ensure that all countries can benefit from the transition to a zero-emissions future?

Shaping the Financing Outlook Required to Catalyse Shipping’s Future
In the context of high political risk and investment uncertainty, what is needed to build a sustainable business model for a decarbonised shipping sector? According to the International Energy Agency, the total amount of Corporate R&D investment for maritime decreased from 2.7 billion USD in 2017 to 1.6 billion USD in 2019 prior to the pandemic. This session will look at what is needed to reverse this trend and guarantee that sufficient finance is available to deploy the necessary infrastructure and ships at the scale needed to meet the Paris goals. We will also look at the opportunities for the shipping industry with will be required to transport the new fuels for the global energy transition:
- What can be done to de-risk the decarbonisation of shipping and ensure an investment pipeline for infrastructure and shipping is available at the scale required?
- How can we ensure that finance is available at rates that will catalyse investment in zero-emission technologies?
- How do we ensure that all have access to finance so that we do not create a two-tier market?
- How to avoid stranded assets?

Ensuring a Just Transition for Shipping’s Future
In the discussion of technology, policy, infrastructure and investment we must not forget that none of this will happen if we do not have the people with the skills needed to handle these new, more volatile fuels. We also need to ensure that any transition in shipping does not disenfranchise developing economies. With the right approach this transition can be a benefit for all economies and will advance a sustainable economy for all. This discussion will look at the positive examples of what works and identify what needs to be done so that the transition to a zero-carbon future can happen at the speed and scale required to meet the Paris goals:
- What needs to be done to ensure that people on land and on sea have the skills they need at the pace required to enable the zero-carbon future?
- How do we ensure that all communities benefit from the transition to a zero-carbon future?
- What can shipowners, unions, governments, and industry do to accelerate the training and skills agenda to ensure that shipping can deliver a decarbonised sector?

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 17, 2019 — Imagine powering your devices by walking. With technology recently developed by a group of researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, that possibility might not be far out of reach.
The group describes the technology in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing. An energy harvester is attached to the wearer’s knee and can generate 1.6 microwatts of power while the wearer walks without any increase in effort. The energy is enough to power small electronics like health monitoring equipment and GPS devices.
“Self-powered GPS devices will attract the attention of climbers and mountaineers,” said author Wei-Hsin Liao, professor in the department of mechanical and automation engineering.
The researchers used a special smart macrofiber material, which generates energy from any sort of bending it experiences, to create a slider-crank mechanism — similar to what drives a motor. The authors chose to attach the device to the knee due to the knee joint’s large range of motion, compared to most other human joints.
“These harvesters can harvest energy directly from large deformations,” Liao said.
Due to the continuous back-and-forth the material will encounter when the wearer walks, every time the knee flexes, the device bends and generates electricity. This means the harvester can “capture biomechanical energy through the natural motion of the human knee,” according to Liao.
Previous wearable energy harvesters took advantage of the vibration caused in the device as a result of motion, which comes with drawbacks regarding efficiency.
“The frequency of human walking is quite slow, which significantly decreases the energy-harvesting capability,” Liao said. Because the group’s device uses a different method, it bypasses this limitation.
The prototype weighs only 307 grams (0.68 pounds) and was tested on human subjects walking at speeds from 2 to 6.5 kilometers per hour (about 1 to 4 miles per hour). The researchers compared the wearers’ breathing patterns with and without the device and determined that the energy required to walk was unchanged, meaning that the device is generating power at no cost to the human.
The researchers note the advantages of an efficient, wearable energy harvester and look towards future commercialization of the technology.
“Self-powered equipment can enable users to get rid of the inconvenient daily charge,” Liao said. “This energy harvester would promote the development of self-powered wearable devices.”

Students’ Council establishes task force to examine issues of representation
The task force will be made up of councillors and non-council members alike with a committee to consult with external stakeholders
The University of Alberta Students’ Union established a task force to examine systemic issues of representation and accessibility to its governance system.
The Structural Composition Task Force will delve into the structure of representation of Students’ Council to see if every community on campus is accurately represented. The task force was approved at Students’ Council latest meeting on October 22. Creating a task force with this mandate was one of the over 60 Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Committee recommendations which were officially adopted by the Students’ Union earlier this month.
Chris Beasley, arts councillor, said the ultimate goal of the task force is to examine what Students’ Council should look like.
“We want to make sure voices are always heard and seats at the table are always available,” he said. “We know that the structure that we exist in right now signals to people that they may not be wanted at council.”
“[This] is where some of the largest conversations affecting students happen,” he added. “This university and this council exists in a world… full of a lot of shittyness and shitty signals to people that they should not be putting their names forward. For me, this [task force] is particularly valuable… This is a way we, as council, can signal we want these voices at the table.”
“We need these voices at the table and through the governance process,” Beasley said.
The task force will be made up of eight members, with five being from Students’ Council who were voted in. The three remaining seats will be open to students-at-large who have “experience or interest in student governance.” Those voted to be apart of the group included:
- Akanksha Bhatnagar, Students’ Union president
- Adarsh Bodacia, science councillor and bylaw committee member
- Katie Kidd, education councillor
- Charles Blondin, open studies councillor
- Andrew Batycki, engineering councillor
Additionally, a consultation group will be created with members being groups, individuals, or associations being members in order to ensure a “multiplicity of voices and experiences are included in its work.”
At council, Kidd said the task force is a good step towards changing council and making sure it is an institution that is accessible to the everyday student, and not just those who enjoy politics or governance.
“I know how scary council is, how unwelcoming it can be, and how stressful it can be as a new councillor,” she said. “I want more people like me who are mad about things, and want to change things on council. But it is scary being on council. I still get scared.”
“I want to help people not feel like me so that we can have more people from diverse backgrounds and viewpoints so that it is not — and I mean this as nicely as possible to my arts friends — a bunch of arts people trying to be politicians,” she added.
The task force is required to complete the following:
- conduct a review of governance models at other post-secondary student associations across Canada;
- create an informal Consultation Group, whose membership include historically underrepresented communities;
- gain the free, prior, and informed consent of the Cultural Group Council before releasing its Final Report; and
- engage with current and past members of Students’ Council throughout the process.

These grain-free butter cookies are tender with a light vanilla-almond scent and moist crumb. Plan ahead – you let the dough sit overnight to hydrate for the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth cookies!
I realized we’re only two weeks away from Christmas, and I hadn’t gotten a cookie recipe on the website. What kind of half-arse food blogger do I think I am?
When it comes to Christmas cookies, I always enjoy the classics the most. Something about the nostalgia and simplicity – the many childhood occasions and the many people who all magically know all the same recipes. I just find a tray of Peanut Butter Blossoms around the holiday so very comforting.
These grain-free butter cookies are absolutely divine! The crumb is so moist, tender, and buttery – you’ll actually be able to stop at just one, they’re that satisfying and rich – but not overly sweet.
You need to plan ahead for these cookies – I allow the dough to sit in the fridge overnight to hydrate. Hydrating cookie dough allows the delicious softened butter to be absorbed into the almond flour and coconut flour for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Need these cookies for Christmas morning? Just whip up this easy, low-ingredient dough in the afternoon or evening on Christmas Eve, and quickly roll the dough and bake in the morning!
What’s in these Grain-Free Butter Cookies:
- Unsalted Butter – I like to use pastured or grass-fed butter for nutrient density. Vital Farms and Kerrygold are both easy to find!
- Powdered Organic Sugar – No substitutions here! You need this finely milled powdered sugar for the correct cookie texture. I use Wholesome Brand, which you can find in the baking aisle of many grocery stores. It uses organic powdered sugar and organic tapioca starch (instead of corn starch) to keep these cookies corn-free.
- Fine Almond Flour – Bob’s Red Mill is always my go-to and almond flour’s sweetness and nuttiness lend well to Christmas Cookie making! Do NOT use almond meal or your cookies will be gritty.
- Coconut Flour – usually coconut flour creates a very dry, crumble cookie but by hydrating it overnight with all that wonderful butter, you avoid this! Always measure coconut flour with a light hand and do not pack it into your measuring spoon.
- Vanilla and Almond Extract – for a richer, sweeter flavor – don’t leave these out!
If you’re looking for a couple other Grain-Free Christmas Cookie options, check out the following:
Tigernut Chocolate Chip Cookies (taste like Nestle Tollhouse)
Soft Sugar Cookies made with almond flour
Maple Butter Cranberry Bark – not a cookie but allergen-free
Happy Holidays to you all – I hope these cookies make it to your family’s festivities this year!
8 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered organic sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups fine almond flour, sifted
2 tablespoons coconut flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
- In a food processor, combine softened butter with sugar and extracts. Blend until whipped and smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add almond flour, coconut flour and salt to food processor. Combine until a smooth dough forms. It will not be as firm as typical cookie dough.
- Scrape into a bowl using a rubber spatula, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the flour to absorb the moisture from the butter and sugar and create a tender, buttery cookie.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove dough from refrigerator.
- Using a food scale to measure, roll 1-ounce portions (about 2 tablespoons) of cookie dough vigorously in your hands to form even balls. Place on cookie sheet 2-inches apart to allow room for the cookies to spread. Do not press the cookies down. They will spread and flatten in the oven.
- Bake for 13 minutes until the edges are a very light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool until firm enough to pick up. Store covered for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days – bringing to room temperature to enjoy.

Will the WASC recipe be firm enough for the Wilton Pillow Cake pan? I'm needing to make this for a customer and I don't want my cake to start settling and have the fondant start buckling on the bottom half of the pillow. Can anyone give me any pointers on the best way to acheive a nice firm pillow??? Please?!
I have not used that recipe but I made a cake using those pans. I use a cake mix base that I add things to and the cake turned out beautiful.
Geechigirl, I bought the pans and I am making a pillow cake for a bridal shower. I thought the pans would save me some time. When you baked your cake did you find the corners were dry? I'm concerned about the corners drying out and still getting the center of the cake cooked well, even with the heating core.
I had considered the pans, too. I posted here first and most people said they didnt like the pans because they were too dry on the outside, because it took so long to bake, to get the center done. I elected not to buy the pans, and just carve the pillows. It is still a work in progress for me. But that is why they call it practicing.

Every reader loves a book challenge. Here’s one that’s bound to keep me busy for a while. Penguin Australia’s ‘Books You Must Read Before You Die’. I will exclude the ones that I have already read and then work my way through the rest.
I have decided that I need to cut down on my spending on books too, so as much as possible I will borrow these books from libraries and buy them from library book sales. These sales are a great way of getting good books for next to nothing and helping your local library.
The children of the man who created a scientific invention that could destroy the world are the subject of ‘John’ the journalist’s interest in this dystopian novel which I found under Science Fiction at my local library. I’m not sure that it qualifies as Sci-Fi, given that someone has already invented something as dangerous as ‘ice nine’; the atom bomb.
The children, a dwarf, a giantess and an infantile man are damaged by their life with their father and later reveal the secrets of his death and the fact that they have each a fragment of ice nine which can, and will, destroy the earth. Our journalist finds them on an island in South America where Frank is high up in government due to the possession of this fragment. All of the characters are deeply flawed, in fact weird, yet the reader can believe in these stunted 20th century monsters. This novel is a rumination on the ‘progress’ made by science, and in this it is not new. What is new is Vonnegut’s way of viewing the world. He is not afraid to tackle the larger issues of his time and this makes him required reading. He also does it with flair and characterstic light touch.
“When a true genius
appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces
are all in confederacy against him.”
The genius in this case is the hilariously pompous and delusional Ignatius J Reilly. He is a grossly fat, incredibly self-centred and self indulgent lazy 30 year old, who still lives with his mother. Ignatius sees the modern world as the antithesis of all he holds dear being an adherent of Boethian ideals. The sheer hypocrisy of this character is astounding and yet the reader really is drawn into following Ignatius’ lumbering progress through finding dead end jobs, which he sabotages, to winding up pushing a hot dog cart around New Orleans in his attempt to do as little as possible. However, as little as possible ends up creating as big a possible mess as could be imagined. We are drawn into the mind of a lunatic who believes that he is the only sane person around, and yet all we can do is laugh uproariously.
His slovenly and pathetic mother eventually sees a future for herself away from her son’s cruel treatment and eventually succeeds in driving him away from his self imposed cloister of a bedroom. When he takes off with the wonderfully named Myrna Minkoff we cannot but wonder what a sequel would have made of his adventures in New York.
This book is not one to read in a quiet place, you will end up bursting out into laughter. It is incredibly clever and highly recommended reading.

Evaluating the tangible, acknowledging the intangible : the application of auditing, kaitiakitanga and collection management during the Tairāwhiti museum taonga Māori audit : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Museum Studies at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand
Open Access Location
The objective of this dissertation is to reveal how the application of auditing and holistic collection management practices can bring about tangible and mutually beneficial outcomes for museums, Māori and taonga Māori collections. The core research of this dissertation is a case study of the Tairāwhiti Museum Taonga Māori Audit. This demonstrates the praxis of auditing; the concurrent application of kaitiakitanga and collection management principles; and the strategic outcomes that may be achieved when undertaking similar initiatives. At present the practice and implications of auditing for museums is an underdeveloped area of enquiry. This dissertation clarifies auditing and its emergence in museum practice; the current debates surrounding it; and examples of national and international auditing to place the Tairāwhiti Museum Audit within the broader context of museum based auditing. The Tairāwhiti Museum Audit demonstrates the rationale, implementation and potential benefits of auditing as a strategic collection management tool. To provide an epistemological framework for the Tairāwhiti Museum Audit the context of taonga Māori from the Māori worldview is clarified, and an overview of shifts toward the acknowledgement and application of mātauranga Māori principles in New Zealand museums is provided. The approach of the Tairāwhiti Museum toward the collection management of taonga has been influenced by external shifts, but more often has been progressive in its response toward meeting the expectations of local Māori and the needs of the taonga Māori collection. The Tairāwhiti Museum Audit is further evidence of this. The dissertation reveals the relevance of taonga to Māori, and demonstrates how kaitiakitanga principles can be applied to strategic collection management initiatives.

“Such great number of photo books in one place has never been presented in Kyiv before – since the foundation of the city more than 1500 years ago,” says Dmitriy Krakovich, director of the Kyiv Photo Book festival. “The goal of the festival is developing a communication between authors-photographers and publishers from one side, and broad circles of art lovers and photography art lovers in Ukraine.”
The first event of its kind in Ukraine, Kyiv Photo Book festival will feature both local and international photographers, publishers and galleries, with organisations such as MOKSOP (Museum of Kharkiv School of Photography) and Rodovid Press lined up to take part.
Rafal Milach, a Magnum Photos nominee and Deutsche Börse finalist, picks out three interesting projects from 2018
Alnis Stakle, Latvian photographer, Professor of Photography at the Rigas Stradins University, and curator of Riga Photomonth, on his five stand-out projects of 2018, including a new project at the Museum of Kharkiv School of Photography which has already seen the publication of KOCHETOV by Viktor and Sergey Kochetov
Stakle recently won the New East Photo Prize organised by Calvert 22 Foundation, with a series titled Heavy Waters. Shot in Crimea in 2011, the series shows towns and villages scattered along the coast on the Crimean Peninsula – an area that was at the time part of Ukraine, but which became part of Russia after the Ukraine-Russia crisis in 2014. To date, Crimea remains an internationally unrecognised part of Russia. Crimea was one of the most popular resorts of the Soviet Union but, says Stakle, “being on the crossroads of trade routes has always been risky”. “Since times immemorial, the Crimean Peninsula has been coveted by different countries, near and far,” he writes in his introduction to the series.
A white painted stone sits atop a pile of concrete from a fallen telephone pole. A seemingly random assortment of rubble, it has in fact been gathered to fasten a manhole cover in place. During a period of particular hardship in Ukraine in the 1990s, manhole covers were often stolen and sold for scrap metal, leaving dangerous open holes in the road. This makeshift device, erected over time out of miscellaneous materials, is one of the objects in Viacheslav Poliakov’s Lviv – God’s Will, a taxonomy of the “unexplored field of accidents” that make up his surrounding urban environment.
With €10,000 up for grabs to realise a project, the Greenpeace Photo Award is a great opportunity – and this year, the public decides who wins. Run with support from Geo Magazine, an awards jury has shortlisted seven photographers to choose from, each from a different country and each working on a series with an environmental theme.
The public has until 31 October to vote on the winner; a further €10,000 will go to a second winner selected by the jury, which this year includes curator and lecturer Lars Willumeit, and Geo Magazine chief photo editor Lars Lindemann.
The shortlisted photographers are: Niels Ackermann (Switzerland); Magda Biernat (USA); Arko Datto (India); Niklas Grapatin (Germany); Katrin Koenning (Australia); Pablo Piovano (Argentina); and Ian Willms (Canada).
Hundreds of people crowd in the city of Ukraine, wearing helmets and holding flags, while a fire breaks out. A person in white-gloves wipes the blood off the face of a young man. Police line up with their bulletproof shields; one stands on the bonnet of a van preparing to fire his rifle. Maxim Dondyuk is a documentary photographer. His 2013-2014 project, Culture of the Confrontation, showcases perspective-shifting images of Euromaidan, the three-month long protests that erupted in Ukraine against the government, characterised as an event of major political symbolism for the European Union.
Foam founder Marloes Krijnen, curator Yumi Goto, and photographers Rob Hornstra, Mark Power and Mariela Sancari highlight the photobook that have impressed them most so far in 2018 – including Senta Simond’s Rayon Vert, Christian van der Kooy’s Anastasiia, and John Myers’ The Portraits
Paulien Oltheten has won the Arles New Discovery Award with her series La Défense, le regard qui s’essaye. Rencontres d’Arles will now buy €15,000 of her work, and add it to the festival collection.
La Défense, le regard qui s’essaye encompasses a video essay, a photo series, and a collection of objects, and was shot mainly in the La Défense financial district in Paris. Recording people going about their everyday lives, the series creates imaginary links between them, adding a fictional element to a documentary project, and a layer of poetry to the otherwise unremarkable. Born in 1982 in Nijmegen, Netherlands, Oltheten studied at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, and is now based in Amsterdam and Paris.
Oltheten was selected from the ten photographers who made it into the Arles New Discovery Award exhibition this year – Sinzo Aanza, Monica Alcazar-Duarte, Christto & Andrew, Anne Golas, Chandan Gomes, Thomas Hauser, Anton Roland Laub, Ali Mobasser, Feng Li, Aurore Valade, and Wiktoria Wojciechowska.
“When I became a parent, I had the idea to make a photographic book for children,” says Russian photographer Andrey Ivanov, who has won the Photobookfest Dummy prize. “I started to photograph subjects and images of Russian fairy tales. At first it was a series of purely staged photos, but then I began to notice that some of the documentary photos I found fitted perfectly into this fabulous series.
“The fairy tale is the most authentic source of Russian archetypes. As the saying goes: ‘A fairy tale is a lie – yet there is a hint in it, a good lesson to good fellows’. The viewer follows the photographic tracks of the main hero of the fairy tale, referring to the cultural codes of the collective unconscious, and guesses or recognises the fairy-tale images, or hints of them.”

Missing: Jasmine Morris. Photo: Supplied
Four years after a young woman was last seen standing outside a supermarket in northern NSW, police will begin searching a nearby home for any trace of the missing teenager.
Jasmine Morris has not been seen since October 6, 2009, when she was spotted by a family member standing outside the South Grafton Bi-Lo supermarket.
There have since been a number of unconfirmed sightings of the "happy-go-lucky" woman, who was aged 19 when she vanished, but despite launching a nationwide search, police have been unable to find her.
As part of Missing Persons Week this year, police set up a lookalike mannequin of Ms Morris, who is also known as Jasmine Moore, outside the Bi–Lo supermarket in South Grafton.
Detective Acting Inspector Peter O'Reilly said Grafton detectives had received information in the month following Missing Persons Week that had led them to a home on the Pacific Highway in South Grafton.
Grafton detectives will search the home on Monday with help from the police dog unit, forensic officers and police from the Operational Support Group in the search.
The search is expected to last two days and will be "focused on locating any property or evidence relating to Ms Morris", police said.
Ms Morris has an olive complexion, is about 155 centimetres tall, weighs about 55 kilograms, with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes.
At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a long black cotton skirt, a purple top, thongs, and was carrying a handbag.
Detectives have appealed for anyone with information about Ms Morris to contact Grafton detectives via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

So you’re saying there’s a chance? Kaitlyn Bristowe, who is newly single, may be looking for love again in Bachelor Nation — but there’s a twist.
The former Bachelorette, 33, teased a possible stint on Bachelor in Paradise during an Instagram Q&A on Sunday, January 6, telling fans that she would only appear on the Bachelor spinoff show to co-bartend alongside Wells Adams.
“We were in a crossroads in our relationship, but to honest, I thought we would choose the road where we’d end up together,” she admitted on an episode of her “Off the Vine” podcast later that month. “I just never took our commitment or being engaged lightly at all. I had the mindset of doing whatever it took to make it work. And now realizing maybe to a fault.”
The Dew designer added that the former couple’s relationship struggled because of “important fundamental values that weren’t lining up” and some other factors that they would “probably never see eye-to-eye on.”
Meanwhile, Booth, 31, addressed the breakup in an emotional Instagram post that same month, writing, “I just want to thank everyone who has been so supportive of my relationship with Kaitlyn over the years. You’ve made me feel incredibly special, supported and very loved.”
The fitness guru sparked speculation that he moved on from Bristowe with WWE announcer Charly Arnolt after the pair were spotted spending time together in New York City in December. A source told Us Weekly that Booth and Arnolt looked “way too close” during a flight to Nashville.

Motherwell 1 Celtic 2
There is such a fine line between success and failure. Celtic balanced precariously on it at Fir Park on Saturday, before profiting from a piece of refereeing fortune and the gambling instincts of Gordon Strachan. The net result was not a fall but another step closer to pulling off a title comeback.
The decision of Steve Conroy, the referee, to award a corner to the champions 11 minutes from the end of a taut encounter, when Bobo Balde had actually headed Barry Robson’s free kick past a post, proved pivotal. Conroy thought that the ball had come off Chris Porter,

The clock is a constant in a shifting world. Six women share time-related tales
By the Clock
Esther Shaindy Leshkowitz
Time and tide stop for no man, and scientific theories abound for slowing time down with the aid of a black hole. However, there’s no one who has attempted to speed up time — aside from my mother. Never one to shy away from daunting tasks, and merely scoffing at the impossible, time was but a minor nuisance for her.
It was years ago, when our seven-year-old cousin was staying with our family while his parents were away. Our family consisted of five mostly obedient girls who did what we were supposed to. Bedtime was nonnegotiable, and the stories you hear about last-minute drinks or snacks were unheard of in our home. The established bedtime for our seven-year-old was 6:30.
Our cousin was noncompliant. His mother, he said, allowed bedtime at 8:30, and he refused consider an earlier time. Gentle negotiations failed to produce the desired result, so while the children were at school, my mother moved the clocks forward two hours.
“The clocks are off,” I told her as soon as I got home and saw the clocks, with the assurance that came with being the sole high school attendee in our household.
“I know,” she said, sotto voce, “I want the kids in bed earlier.”
I snickered and made eye contact with the sister two years younger than myself, and we felt that warm feeling of being in on something larger than ourselves. The ruse worked for two days until the kids found a clock that confirmed their suspicions — they were being scammed.
But our seven-year-old sister never was a slouch, and she recently confided in me that she was in on the game the entire time.
“I knew right away something was off,” she said.
The giveaway was her two older sisters giggling conspiratorially, and she conducted an investigation. Shortly after, an untampered bedroom clock in hand, she confronted my mother.
“Just don’t tell,” our mother told her, after explaining the situation.
Later, after bedtime, when our guest cousin was sound asleep and this sister wasn’t, she overheard my mother saying, “I really had no choice.”
So many of us — both children and adults — disregard the signs of fatigue.
“We look at the clock and think we can just push ourselves,” my mother told me as we were reminiscing about this incident. “If a clock says 8:30, you think you can’t go to sleep, even if you’re exhausted, because it’s too early. Make it say 11:30, and then you allow yourself to head to bed.”
These days, the sister who’s no slouch has adapted this approach to help her with her own kids.
“We underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep,” she says. “Sometimes we just need to recharge.”
Teaching them to be more in tune with their circadian rhythms, she doesn’t share the time changes with her youngest children, and when they comment on the early darkness, she agrees with them and says firmly, “Time for bed.”
