Would DC Comics introduce Diana's twin brother only to dispatch him so soon? And would he be defeated by Diana, after being manipulated by the Dark Gods? We would wager that Jason sees reason at some point - Diana's greatest superpower is love, compassion, and truth, after all - but anything is possible. Especially with the final splash page promising a war between gods that lives up to the name.

^ Esposito, Joey; Norris, Erik (December 14, 2011). "The Best of DC Comics in 2011. What are the best books coming out of the DC relaunch?". IGN. Archived from the original on September 16, 2012. Retrieved September 16, 2012. Sometimes it takes a completely fresh set of eyes to reignite the flame of creativity...By deeply rooting their new Wonder Woman series in Greek mythology, Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang have tapped into a creative well that appears bottomless.
Soon thereafter, the gods secreted themselves away for a conference. At this time, Darkseid attacked Olympus. The dark god ceased hostilities, though, as soon as he realized the place was deserted. When the gods returned, they had decided upon destroying Mount Olympus and undertaking a "cosmic migration" to the stars. Over Hermes' objections, they took several steps. First, the three elder brothers made a new pact to replace the original pact which divided Earth among them. Then, they combined the will of all the gods (minus Ares) and the strength of Amazon prayer, and used Diana's bracelets to amplify that power (the bracelets are all that remained of Zeus' Aegis; this Aegis was made from the hide of Amalthea, the goat which reared him. Thus, the old home was demolished and New Olympus was created. In order to properly establish this new home, it was necessary for the Gods to sequester themselves indefinitely.
Even alongside all of her kindness, compassion, and empathy, Diana is still also a warrior at heart, and when someone she cares about is hurt, becomes far more relentless and ruthless. When seemingly beaten by Ares (who was only growing more powerful from her violence, rage, and hatred), and after having to watch her beloved Steve Trevor die, she flew into an agonizing rage, and she assaulted and brutalized several armed German soldiers with immense speed and ferocity. She even came close to murdering Dr. Poison as vengeance for Steve's death; but after recalling Steve's great love for an undying belief in her and her beliefs, restrained herself and refocused her energies on Ares, harnessing her love for Trevor to overcome her violent emotions and swiftly overpower an angered Ares. Additionally, she resolved to fight even harder after Steppenwolf revealed that he had killed several other Amazons. Outside of battle, however, Diana can also react indigently and negatively towards people who disrespect her, her relatives, or those she cares about. Two such notable instances were when she shot an angry look at Lex Luthor (after he insulted her father Zeus's memory), and when she shoved back Batman (after he had insulted her beloved Steve Trevor's memory). Diana also remains ruthless when facing enemies in battle as Wonder Woman, and she even shows signs of enjoying a good battle when they put up a good fight. This was seen when she briefly smiled and laughed when she was beaten to the ground by Doomsday, and smirked as she stopped the first bullet fired at a group of hostages in London.

Sword Mastery: Wonder Woman is an extremely skilled swordswoman, with centuries of experience wielding her magical God Killer sword (and later the Sword of Athena) in many battles, including those of World War I. Thus, she managed to slash at enemy soldiers with her sword even while racing past on horseback, to instantly slice apart in mid-air a car hurled at her by Doomsday with the Sword of Athena, to later do the same to massive piece of debris hurled at her by resurrected Superman, and to sever one of Doomsday's arms during her battle with the monster, delivering wounds that would have otherwise been lethal, had it not been for the monster's incredible healing factor and adaptive evolution.
Superhuman Strength: As a demigoddess, Wonder Woman possesses incredible superhuman strength, making her the second strongest member of the Justice League, only surpassed by Superman. She can effortlessly bend metal bars, slam through solid walls and reinforced glass, and pry open steel doors. Even before accessing her full divine powers, Wonder Woman was strong enough to dominate several Amazons during her training, knocking down one with a whip and another with a shield, as well as kicking Antiope's sword out of her hand. Wonder Woman's strength extends to her ability to leap great distances. In a bar fight, she was able to throw a man across a room with an effortless shove of her hand. She effortlessly lifted an adult man with one arm and held him in the air, and threw an armored Ehrhardt E-V/4 tank in the air with ease. She was also able to effortlessly knock down many German soldiers with her shield and lasso. Wonder Woman was also able to deflect a missile with her shield, and withstand hundreds of shots at a time on her shield, albeit with considerable effort, as well as deflecting with her bracelets bullets and energy blasts with relative ease. Diana's immense strength allowed her to fight Ares, the powerful God of War, despite the considerable divine power of her older brother, managing to grab him from the waist and throw him against the roof of a warehouse. However, she was still easily dominated by the much stronger Ares. After obtaining and releasing her true divine power, Wonder Woman was able to fight Ares to an even greater degree, managing to knock him down and hit him in the face twice, as well as defeat a small German battalion using only her strength, and raise a very large and heavy German tank without much effort, which weighed 29 tons. One hundred years later, Wonder Woman had become powerful enough to face the powerful Kryptonian deformity known as Doomsday, with her blows being powerful enough for the monster to wobble, stopping a massive blow of the monster with her sword. She was even able to knock him down with one strike of her shield on one of Doomsday's legs, as well as cut a car thrown toward her by Doomsday in half. Wonder Woman was also able to fight several times against the powerful Steppenwolf, managing to take him from the waist, knock him down through a wall, and shove him against a concrete wall. She was able to stab her sword into one of the feet of the New God, cut him at the waist, and, with the help of Aquaman, knock him down before he reached Cyborg. Wonder Woman was also able to break Steppenwolf's Electro Axe with her sword after Superman froze it with his freezing breath. In addition, after his resurrection, Wonder Woman was able to defend herself briefly against Superman during his confusion, the two generating a powerful shockwave with a single headbutt. The only beings that surpass the strength of Wonder Woman are Doomsday, Steppenwolf and Superman.

The Silver Age format for comic books also did not generally favour a lot of story arcs, or at least, not memorable ones. In this period though the character did undergo some consistent changes as she battled a variety of common foes including Kobra, but the changed format gave her the ability to develop more as a character. The silver age stories of Wonder Woman can be broken into a few general arcs – the depowered stories (in the mod girl phase), undergoing tests to re-enter the Justice League of America, a golden age story about her work during the Second World War, her adventures as an astronaut for NASA, the hunt for Kobra, and eventually the return of Steve Trevor and the internal politics of working at the Pentagon. The most famous story which she was involved with at this time was “For the Man Who Has Everything”, a story focused on Superman, but also involving herself and Batman. The first major story arc which she was part of was Crisis on Infinite Earths, which also ended her silver age appearances.
After recruiting a newly mortal, but still very bitter Hera into her group of companions, Wonder Woman retreated to London. Lennox revealed that there had been seven bastard children of Zeus. He and Diana were two, two others had been killed, and three remained. He suggested that for information on where the baby had been taken, Diana should contact their sister Siracca in Libya. Her encounter with Siracca did not begin well, but after Wonder Woman appealed to her sense of family, she suggested that Diana seek out their brother Milan in New York City.
After defeating Giganta in battle, Wonder Woman was approached by a lawyer who informed her that she had inherited the estate of Hercules, who had been killed. Shortly thereafter, she was told by A.R.G.U.S. that Hercules' body came from an area containing traces of energy unique to Apokolips. Diana visited Hercules' home and found a letter addressed to her, informing her of the location of her twin brother, Jason. She found him in Greece, and the two seemingly began to bond, only for Jason to turn against Diana after the arrival of Grail, who he had secretly allied himself with. Grail had begun killing children of the earthly gods in order to use their divine power to restore her father Darkseid to adulthood, as he had been turned into a baby at the end of the Darkseid War. Jason allied himself with her in order to exact revenge on Wonder Woman, as he resented her for not seeking him out after she learned of his existence some time ago and was envious of her. However, as Darkseid was about to drain Diana's life force, Jason regretted his actions and joined Wonder Woman in battle against Grail and Darkseid. Then, Hercules' lawyer revealed his true identity as the King of the Gods himself, Zeus. Zeus fought Darkseid while Wonder Woman took on his daughter, Grail. Ultimately, Zeus was defeated and his life force was drained by Darkseid, restoring the Apokoliptian to his full adult form. The Justice League arrived, forcing Darkseid and Grail to retreat through a Boom Tube. In the aftermath of the battle, Diana forgave her brother for his deceit.
The character has been featured in direct-to-DVD animated films and CGI theatrical releases, such as The Lego Movie (2014). Within the live-action DC Extended Universe films, Wonder Woman debuted in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and was featured as the main character in Wonder Woman (2017). In November 2017, she appeared in the DCEU release Justice League.
Their greatest champion, Princess Diana soon lost her life against the demon Neron. Hera (now presiding over Olympus) transfigured Diana into a goddess of truth and welcomed her to live with the gods. Diana was told she could not interfere with the daily lives of mortals, unless prayed to. Hera sits on the throne. The gods shared the secret of their division with Diana and decided to reunite their essences with those of their Roman counterparts. Diana could not be prevented from interfering with the mortal world and so she was banished to Earth. She was soon also stripped of her immortality.
One of the events that led to Infinite Crisis was of Wonder Woman killing the villain Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #219. Maxwell Lord was mind-controlling Superman, who as a result was near to killing Batman. Wonder Woman tried to stop Superman, Lord (who was unable to mind control her) made Superman see her as his enemy Doomsday trying to kill Lois Lane. Superman then attacked Wonder Woman, and a vicious battle ensued. Buying herself time by slicing Superman's throat with her tiara, Wonder Woman caught Lord in her Lasso of Truth and demanded to know how to stop his control over Superman. As the lasso forced the wearer to speak only the truth, Lord told her that the only way to stop him was to kill him. Left with no choice, Wonder Woman snapped Lord's neck and ended his control over Superman. Unknown to her, the entire scene was broadcast live around every channel in the world by Brother Eye. The viewers were not aware of the entire situation, and saw only Wonder Woman murdering a Justice League associate. Wonder Woman's actions put her at odds with Batman and Superman, as they saw Wonder Woman as a cold-blooded killer, despite the fact that she saved their lives.

Product provides post-emergent weed control with low risk of resistance
Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (MBI), a provider of natural pest management products for the agricultural and water treatment markets, announces the submission of a new bioherbicide, MBI-011 EP, to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The bioherbicide is a post-emergent burndown herbicide that can also be used as a crop desiccant. It has contact activity and no post-application planting restrictions are expected.
MBI-011 EP is being submitted for control of annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds in the agricultural, non-crop and consumer home and garden markets.
The bioherbicide offers broad-spectrum control and will provide an alternative to herbicides that are prone to resistance.
According to the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds, weeds have developed resistance to 148 different herbicides in 63 crops in 61 countries.
Phyllis Himmel, vice president of research and development for the Davis, Calif.-based company, noted how the product got its start when one of MBI’s chemists screened for herbicidal activity of medicinal herbs.
During the testing of 350 different herbs, an extract of dry long pepper (Piper longum L.) fruits showed activity against lettuce seedlings. This active ingredient was identified as sarmentine, a naturally occurring compound that gives black pepper its pungent aroma.

Relationship of the glyoxylate pathway to the pathogenesis of Cryptococcus neoformans.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Functional genomics has become a major focus in the study of microbial pathogenesis. This study used a functional genomic tool, differential display reverse transcription-PCR, to identify a transcriptional profile of Cryptococcus neoformans cells as they produced meningitis in an immunosuppressed host. This serial global gene expression during infection allowed for the identification of up- and down-regulated genes during infection. During this profiling, a single gene for the enzyme isocitrate lyase (ICL1) was found to be up regulated at 1 week of infection in a rabbit meningitis model and during a time of maximum host cellular response. The finding suggested that this enzyme and the glyoxylate shunt pathway are important to this yeast's energy production during infection. However, site-directed icl1 mutants had no apparent virulence defect in two animal models and no growth defect within macrophages. These observations suggest that although the yeast responded to a certain environmental cue(s) by an increase in ICL1 expression during infection, this gene was not necessary for progression of a C. neoformans infection. Compounds that specifically target only ICL1 are unlikely to cripple C. neoformans growth in vivo.

When it comes to debt consolidation, a secured debt consolidation loan is the far superior choice to the unsecured debt consolidation loan if you have the choice. Debt consolidation loans are not a good option for everyone. People who cannot control their spending habits enough to keep from creating new unsecured debt after a debt consolidation loan has been obtained may not benefit from this type of loan. It can prove to be an easy path to becoming deeper entrenched in an already too heavy debt load.
A secured debt consolidation loan is backed by something of enough worth to cover the value of the loan.
The vast majority of secured debt consolidation loans are home equity loans. With this type of loan, the bank agrees to set a loan limit based on the accumulated equity in your house. You use this money to pay off the balances on your debt.
Most debt consolidation loans are used to pay off unsecured debt.
While this type of loan may be used to pay off a car or furniture, the big interest savings comes from paying off unsecured debt like credit cards and payday loans.
A secured debt consolidation loan can easily reduce your average interest rate from above 20% to 6%. This drop can save you hundreds of dollars per month in interest charges if you have large outstanding credit card balances.
Secured debt consolidation loans do not usually have punitive interest rate adjustments built into the fine print.
Credit cards frequently have fine print that warns consumers that if a payment is missed or the credit score dips, the interest rate may double or triple. Since a secured debt consolidation loan is backed by the value of real property, banks do not have to try and immediately cover increased default risk with exorbitant interest rates.
Because many consumers get into credit card trouble by trying to cover emergencies with unsecured debt, a secured equity line gives you some breathing room.
Most people who complete a secured debt consolidation loan find that the monthly payment savings is enough to let them be able to start saving for an emergency fund. Many emergencies only require a few hundred dollars to cover. This amount may very well be produced in the first couple of months after the loan is made.
Banks will sometimes allow a little extra in the credit line in case unforeseen circumstances arise shortly after the loan is made.
This small amount of “extra” cash can be used to cover an emergency that arises while you emergency fund is being built. Also, some of these credit lines make the value of the credit line available as the secured debt is reduced. This means if you must borrow a little more cash, you can do so at the low interest rate of the home equity loan, and it will not alter your payment, which is based on the total amount originally borrowed.

Time Out says
Of the people, by the people: All three owners are long-term locals, and many residents were enthusiastic helpers during the lengthy construction process. The seating plan at Dumbo’s unofficial HQ is a little funky, as is the mix of china, glass and plastic water tumblers on the tables. But no one quibbles with the organic food or the friendly service. Chef Laura Taylor changes the menu daily: Specials might include tender Australian steak or seared tuna, and there’s always something for vegetarians. Sunday’s bluegrass brunch is a huge hit with all the people.

Chaperones, suitors, and arranged marriages aren’t only reserved for the heroines of a Jane Austen novel. They’re just another walk in the park for this leading lady, who is on a mission to find her leading lad. From the brilliant comics Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda Fahmy tells the hilarious story of how she met and married her husband. Navigating mismatched suitors, gossiping aunties, and societal expectations for Muslim women, That Can Be Arranged deftly and hilariously reveals to readers what it can be like to find a husband as an observant Muslim woman in the twenty-first century.
So relevant in today’s evolving cultural climate, Fahmy’s story offers a perceptive and personal glimpse into the sometimes sticky but ultimately rewarding balance of independent choice and tradition.
Beautiful and full of impact, a story of love in all its forms, That Can Be Arranged is one my favourite books ever.
I read That Can Be Arranged late last month and I loved it! That Can Be Arranged is a comic about the author, Huda Fahmy’s, love story. I can’t list the books I read in one sitting or books I enjoyed as much. That Can be Arranged was so cute, precious and relatable, I couldn’t help it.
That Can Be Arranged is a beautiful, humorous halal story of the author’s road to finding love and marriage.
I adored everything about the book; Huda’s drawing style, her writing voice and the story itself. I love how she made such an obviously difficult personal journey into something so light and fun. Every single part of Huda’s story is relatable; from the talking aunties who are ever present almost every Muslim community regardless of race, the way she held on fast to her beliefs when she was young (yes young Huda, i understand you and we inhabit the hill together), to when those beliefs shifted, to the rules — God, yes the rules! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so understood when reading a book.
Apart from being cute and relatable, TCBA also touched some really important topics about relationships and marriage. Trying to fix ones self because of a person — especially when you’ve been alone or haven’t had someone interested in you for a while —,the signs of toxic relationship and an abuser, and the lofty ideas people tend to have about marriage, and attaining a balance between having standards and building castles in the sky.
At this point, I’m pretty much gushing about this book, but I can’t help it. I had wandered into That Can Be Arranged only expecting a cute love story, not something so wholesome.
That Can Be Arranged is a beautiful lesson in love and life.
Will you be reading That Can Be Arranged?

Lost weight? Vidya Balan ditches her saree for a short dress for an event
It was refreshing to see Vidya Balan in a hot pink dress at the trailer launch event of 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects'.
Vidya Balan is mostly seen in sarees at film events. So when the actress walked in wearing a hot pink dress at the trailer launch event of 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects', most were taken aback. Having lost weight, Vidya looked refreshingly different in a pink and black dress at the event. Vidya who is known to dress according to the character she plays in a movie, will perhaps be now seen in more western outfits while promoting SKSE which will be releasing in February 2014. The actress is paired opposite Farhan AKhtar and the duo play a married couple in the film. (Pictures by Yogen Shah)

Yorkshire Terrier 101 – Yorkshire Terrier Allergies
By Susan Bailey
Your Yorkshire Terrier is going to need to see a vet at least once a year. Most dogs visit more than once a year. You need to know that vet bills are to be expected when you bring home a Yorkshire Terrier. They are prone to some illnesses like luxating patella. However, they are not as prone to allergies as some other breeds. Yorkshire Terrier allergies are almost the same as for other breeds. The only exception is that they don’t handle anesthesia as well as other breeds.
There are many means of finding out how to choose a vet for your Yorkshire Terrier. You can ask your dog owning friends, family and neighbors for recommendations. You can ask your pet store (one that doesn’t sell puppies, of course) and you can ask your local animal shelter. Thankfully, it’s easier than ever to find a vet. Since Yorkies are so popular, they should be familiar with Yorkshire Terrier allergies.
If you are lucky enough to have a choice of vets in your area, then how do you choose a vet for your Yorkshire Terrier among the crowd? First off, there is no law saying you have to keep one vet all of your dog’s life. Going to any vet is better than not going to a vet at all. Ask your vet questions. Be sure you are satisfied with the answers and don’t let the vet talk down to you.
Any ethical vet will be up front about their strengths and weaknesses. They are often the most helpful people to go to when looking for a better vet for your Yorkshire Terrier! Most vets do not make that much money at their jobs. Most are in it because they love animals and want to do anything it takes to encourage you to take your dog to a vet for regular care. They have seen too many Yorkshire Terrier allergies untreated in suffering Yorkies.
Yorkshire Terrier allergies are the same as for other breeds and mongrels. The most common allergens are pollen, food allergies, flea bites or to particular cleaners. A Yorkshire Terrier with a pollen allergy would be treated a lot like a child with ragweed allergies, such as with a combinations of drugs and lessening exposure to pollen. Allergies to flea bites are common, but treatable. You need to get rid of the fleas, which is easier than ever to do with spot-on products like Frontline. You also need to get rid of fleas in your home, because fleas live in carpeting and furniture and just use your dog for meals.
Allergies to cleaners are usually easy to diagnose. Stop using a suspected cleaner. If symptoms improve, you know what product to avoid. Your Yorkie will still need to see your vet for painkillers and antibiotics. Food allergies are the most difficult Yorkshire Terrier allergies to diagnose, which means cooperating with your vet is a must. It might take a long time of trial and error, but since the food allergen is identified, treatment is usually easy.
Susan Bailey has interviewed many owners, trainers and vets in two countries about Yorkshire Terrier care. Go to your local library to find many books about dogs, including a section on Yorkshire Terrier care This article and others like it try to teach you how to find a vet for your Yorkshire Terrier

Jack loves Tuna. Tuna loves Jack. So, these two were a package deal at the Humane Society of North Texas, where both were waiting to find a forever home.
The only hitch? Jack is beagle mix and Tuna is a 6-month-old potbellied pig.
Well, it looks like there’s a perfect pet (or two) for everyone. These unlikely buddies, who formed a unique bond when they recently arrived at the shelter, according to NBC 5 News, found a forever home together this week.
At the shelter, the two did everything together, so separating them just wasn’t an option.
“She’s just so loving and she grooms Jack,” Whitney Hanson, director of development and communications for HSNT, told NBC 5 of Tuna. “She loves to give him baths and clean his back. And they sleep together. And she gets very upset when he’s not around, which is why it is so important we find them a home together.”
On Tuesday, a local couple decided it was meant to be, and it seems the pets are looking forward to their new adventure.

“Jack was a bit confused by the hustle and bustle, but he is very fond of his new parents and was very excited to go home with them,” said a post on the Humane Society’s Facebook page.

Local government gets a lashing
BY JOANNE CORCORAN
Corruption and the absence of any real power were the two issues that dominated the debate on Local Government on Friday night. With Sinn Féin on the verge of fighting local elections in the South, the debate proved to be one of the more passionate of the weekend. Constant reference was made to the growth the party is going to experience in the local government sector come June, and delegates expressed a strong desire to see change come about on councils throughout the island, when that happens.
Louth TD Arthur Morgan was the first speaker, and he told the hall that if the party is to be an effective voice for Irish people, it has to challenge the hegemony in local authorities.
"Other opposition parties might be happy to let local government be run by unelected local authority officials, but Sinn Féin is not," Morgan said. "Local government does not serve the citizens of this state the way it should."
Morgan questioned why land speculators and developers are allowed to get away without paying for the rezoning and planning development benefits they receive from councils.
"There is no proper system of funding in place for local government, so they are reliant from government handouts to get by," he continued. "Wouldn't it be an idea to have all these people who are getting rich from council deals put some money back into local government?"
Dublin Councillor Mark Daly spoke about the disappointment he felt upon entering local government for the first time. "Five years ago, when I first spoke at an Ard Fheis, I had great ideas about what local government could do," he said. "I quickly realised that if its planning permission or land rezoning that you're after — the council is a great place to be. But for everything else you have to go begging from the band of merry men who run local government in Ireland today."
Daithí Doolan, also from Dublin, reminded delegates of the Ard Fheis that was held ten years ago in Killinardan, Tallaght. "We have come a long way since then," he said, "but we have not forgotten that it's communities like Tallaght that we look for our support from, and it's communities like Tallaght that we are here to serve.
"Minister Martin Cullen has nothing but disdain for local democracy. He has created a system where all the power is lying in the hands of city managers and deputies — faceless bureaucrats that we have to wrestle it away from."
Doolan added that he envisaged a great surge for Sinn Féin in the locals and called on delegates to "be ready to liberate the corridors of power across the state".
Councillor Anne O'Leary from Bantry gave the debate a flavour of the situation of local government in Cork. She spoke about local authority housing in the county going to rot because of neglect by the council.
Daniel Callanan called on delegates to not get bogged down with the negative side of local government, but to realise the potential for change that Sinn Féin will have if it does well in June.
"Why do you think that Michael Ring and his cronies were so eager to find against the dual mandate bill, preventing them from being TDs and councillors?" he asked the hall.
"Because councils do hold a lot of power in local communities, even if it is being slowly eroded, and we can use that power to make change happen. We can fight for democracy to be reinstated at a local level."
Monaghan Councillor Brian McKenna finished up the debate by addressing the issue of development charges. "Having underfunded local government for decades, central government is now using development charges as a form of taxation which takes no account of ability to pay," McKenna said.
"Throughout this State, new house builders and buyers are receiving demands from local authorities for massive development charges. Under the Planning and Development Act these charges were intended not for individual first-time home buyers or for people building their own homes. They were intended for housing developers and industrial developers so that they would pay their fair share for local authority services.
"Instead, what we have now are local authorities imposing these charges on individuals and families and adding yet another crippling burden to the already massive cost of housing in this State, thanks to the market-driven so-called housing policy of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats."
McKenna added that this is the same government that brought in a Bill to require developers to devote 20% of housing developments to social and affordable housing, "and then after a massive lobby from their developer friends they changed the law to allow them to duck out of their obligations".
All motions in this section were passed.


Ford EVs will gain access to Tesla's Superchargers across the US and Canada starting today, becoming the first non-Tesla vehicles to do so, Ford announced. The companies cemented the fast charging pact last year and numerous other automakers followed suit later on. The expanded network will be a big benefit for the Ford and its customers amid news that sales of its EVs have heavily sagged.
Current Ford EVs use CCS type chargers, so current customers must order the Fast Charging Adapter (NACS) compatible with Tesla's Superchargers (below). That will be available at no charge to new and existing clients in the BlueOval charge network until June 30, 2024. After that, it will cost $230 including estimated taxes and shipping. Starting in 2025, Ford EVs will come standard with the NACS charging system.
Customers can use the FordPass App to locate the new Tesla Superchargers, just as they would when looking for BlueOval chargers. Tesla Superchargers will also be coming to Apple Maps EV routing, Google Maps EV routing, and the Ford Connected built-in navigation BlueOval charge network.
As for payment, you'll be able to handle that through the FordPass app and Charge Assist app in the vehicle's touchscreen. "This means customers simply have to plug in and charging will automatically start with [costs] managed through FordPass." BlueOval charge network membership is required, and if you're not yet enrolled, you'll be prompted to do so when order the NACS adapter (check's Ford's website for more details).
Tesla's 15,000+ strong Supercharger network will more than double Ford EV owners' access to fast DC chargers. With that, it will have 28,000 fast chargers and 126,000 chargers total. The company notes that a lack of charging stations is the second largest barrier after price for customers potentially selecting EVs instead of ICE or PHEV vehicles.
The news is good for Ford and other automakers who will get a big boost in the number of fast charging spots. However, Tesla owners will see a lot more Supercharger competition. Last year, the US government opened $2.5 billion in funding for community EV chargers
With declining EV sales, Ford was recently forced to lower Mach E prices by $3,100 to $8,100, it recently said in a financial statement. The company also cut production of that model and the F-150 Lightning pickup truck due to the slowdown.

We recently released a report by Smart Cities Research titled “Inside and Out: Sustaining Ontario’s Greenbelt” regarding growth in the area nicknamed the “whitebelt”, which is the area south of the Greenbelt.
But before I share the reports conclusions, I’d like to share a quick little bit of history, which provides a dramatic parallel to our new report.
Now, we all know the story of Easter Island, a Polynesian island in the South Pacific Ocean. The Rapanui (or the Easter Islanders) created massive statues called “Moai” (see photos above). However, the construction of these large figures, which created extreme deforestation, along with overpopulation, and the overuse of other resources led to the erosion of the island’s topsoil, failing of crops, and collapse of the community and culture.
Now the parallels between the Greenbelt and Easter Island are not exactly the same. However, I think that a key element in the Easter Island story is that there was no room for growth. Unlike on Easter Island, the report by Smart Cities concludes that in the “whitebelt” there is enough land to accommodate development for several generations. In fact, expansion plans for the next 20 years in the regions of Durham, York, Peel, Halton, and the City of Hamilton only use approximately 17 per cent of the whitebelt for development. This leaves nearly 83 per cent of the whitebelt or 120,000 acres of land, untouched until 2031! Conclusion: there will be land for housing, industrial, and commercial development for decades.
As the Greenbelt Plan and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe work in tandem, the study authors, Ray Tomalty and Bartek Komorowski, provide suggestions to ensure effective implementation of the Growth Plan’s vision and principles. Recommendations include ways or supporting the development of compact and transit oriented communities with a variety of housing types.
With the Greenbelt Plan and the Growth Plan working together I know that history won’t repeat itself....
