The school assignment was intended to spark debate and discussion — but isn't that part of the problem?
It's not uncommon for parents to puzzle over their kids' homework.
Sometimes, it's just been too long since they've done long division for them to be of any help. Or teaching methods have just changed too dramatically since they were in school.And other times, kids bring home something truly inexplicable.
Trameka Brown-Berry was looking over her 4th-grade son Jerome's homework when her jaw hit the floor.
"Give 3 'good' reasons for slavery and 3 bad reasons," the prompt began.
You read that right. Good reasons ... FOR SLAVERY.
Lest anyone think there's no way a school would actually give an assignment like this, Brown-Berry posted photo proof to Facebook.
In the section reserved for "good reasons," (again, for slavery), Jerome wrote, "I feel there is no good reason for slavery thats why I did not write."
Yep. That about covers it.
The school assignment was intended to spark debate and discussion — but isn't that part of the problem?
The assignment was real. In the year 2018. Unbelievable.
The shockingly offensive assignment deserved to be thrown in the trash. But young Jerome dutifully filled it out anyway.
His response was pretty much perfect.
We're a country founded on freedom of speech and debating ideas, which often leads us into situations where "both sides" are represented. But it can only go so far.
There's no meaningful dialogue to be had about the perceived merits of stripping human beings of their basic living rights. No one is required to make an effort to "understand the other side," when the other side is bigoted and hateful.
In a follow-up post, Brown-Berry writes that the school has since apologized for the assignment and committed to offering better diversity and sensitivity training for its teachers.
But what's done is done, and the incident illuminates the remarkable racial inequalities that still exist in our country. After all, Brown-Berry told the Chicago Tribune, "You wouldn't ask someone to list three good reasons for rape or three good reasons for the Holocaust."
At the very end of the assignment, Jerome brought it home with a bang: "I am proud to be black because we are strong and brave ... "
Good for Jerome for shutting down the thoughtless assignment with strength and amazing eloquence.

Making new friends as an adult is challenging. While people crave meaningful IRL connections, it can be hard to know where to find them. But thanks to one Facebook Group, meeting your new best friends is easier than ever.
Founded in 281, NYC Brunch Squad brings together hundreds of people who come as strangers and leave as friends through its in-person events.
“Witnessing the transformative impact our community has on the lives of our members is truly remarkable. We provide the essential support and connections needed to thrive amid the city's chaos,” shares Liza Rubin, the group’s founder.
Despite its name, the group doesn’t just do brunch. Members also hold book clubs, seasonal parties, and picnics, among other activities.
NYC Brunch Squad curates up to 10 monthly events tailored to the specific interests of its members. Group organizers handle all the details, taking into account different budgets and event sizes – all people have to do is show up.
“We have members who met at our events and became friends and went on to embark on international journeys to celebrate birthdays together. We have had members get married with bridesmaids by their sides who were women they first connected with at our events. We’ve had members decide to live together and become roommates,” Liza says.
Members also bond over their passion for giving back to their community. The group has hosted many impact-driven events, including a “Picnic with Purpose” to create self-care packages for homeless shelters and recently participated in the #SquadSpreadsJoy challenge. Each day, the 100 members participating receive random acts of kindness to complete. They can also share their stories on the group page to earn extra points. The member with the most points at the end wins a free seat at the group's Friendsgiving event.
If you want to meet the group in person, NYC Brunch Squad, along with many other locally-based New York groups, is participating in the upcoming Facebook IRL event on December 2. This pop-up experience in New York City’s West Village will provide a space to discover new hobbies, find new friends, and connect with others around the things they love.
Learn more about the event and sign up to attend here.
Not in the New York area but still want to get involved? As a result of NYC Brunch Squad’s popularity, the group is expanding across the country.
“With a robust community established in NYC, we're now excited to announce our expansion with pop-up events in the works in 15 additional cities. What's more, we're launching a travel club, extending our mission to foster connections beyond the city limits and to help people build life-changing friendships in new and exciting places,” Liza says.
If you’re ready to make new meaningful connections, join NYC Brunch Squad! You might just meet your new best friends.
"Concerts need to be at a reasonable hour like 5pm."
Listen, everyone complains. Sure, we like to pretend it's just boomers that reach a certain age and start daydreaming about telling kids to get off their lawns. But the truth of the matter is, maybe some of the seemingly nonsensical complaints are valid because it appears that convenience has become inconvenient in the most obnoxious way possible.
Kevin Fredricks, a comedian and TikTok creator uploaded a video answering a tweet that asked, "what is the most boomer complaint you have." Fredricks must've been waiting for someone to ask this question because he had an entire list of complaints but honestly, if you're over 30 you'll probably be nodding along.
He comes in strong with a particular disdain for QR code menus. Save the trees and all that jazz but there's something about holding a menu in your hand that helps you choose the same thing you always order so much better. Flipping the menu over is key in making food choices while dining out. Seriously, not everything has to be digital.
"Also, the TV's too loud. Matter of fact, everything's too loud. The TV, the music, turn everything down a few notches," Fredricks declares.
But the comedian wasn't done, in fact, he was just getting started and so were the people in his comments. You'd think with it being a large platform that there would be some ridiculous complaints, but they're surprisingly very valid and applicable across generations.
"Concerts need to be at a reasonable hour like 5. 9PM is too late," one person writes.
"PUT DVD PLAYERS BACK IN LAPTOPS," another shouts because why do they still sell DVDs but there's no where to play them? Do they still make DVD players or is everyone using the ones from 2005?
"Yes, I'm tired of dark shows! Between How to Get Away with Murder (HTGAWM) and Game of Thrones (GoT). Baby, 33 and I can't see. Turn on the light," one woman says.
"I hate walking in to the grocery store cause the music is so da*mn loud. Like am I picking up some food or going to a d*mn rave," a commenter complains.
Whats your biggest boomer complaint?
It's true, it's all too much. Between not being able to see shows because they're so dark, to having to subscribe to 75 different streaming services and headlights so bright you can see a party on Jupiter, we're all shaking our fists at the sky. Maybe if enough people complain, we'll at least get the streaming services to pay the light bill so we can see what's happening on the TV.
People got a huge kick out his response.
Teacher Bret Turner thought he'd kick off the morning with his first-grade students using a little riddle.
On the whiteboard in the front of the class, he scrawled it out in black marker:
"I am the beginning of everything, the end of everywhere. I'm the beginning of eternity, the end of time & space."
One student raised their hand, the first to venture a guess.
Now, the answer, of course, is the letter "E." (Get it!?) But the student had a different idea.
Turner later described the incident on Twitter in a post that's now gone massively viral. "Such an awed, somber, reflective hush fell over the class that I didn't want to tell them that actually the answer is the letter 'E', which just seemed so banal in the moment," he wrote.
\u201cThe first guess from one of my 1st graders was \u201cdeath\u201d and such an awed, somber, reflective hush fell over the class that I didn\u2019t want to tell them that actually the answer is the letter e, which just seemed so banal in the moment\u201d— Bret Turner (@Bret Turner) 1514935897
People on Twitter got a huge kick out of the somewhat dark, existential moment. But there might just be an important lesson buried in this story somewhere about how to process "the end."
Many users who replied to the Tweet were impressed by the unnamed kid's thoughtfulness and ability to understand the concept of death at such a young age. (How many first graders would peg death as "the beginning of eternity?")
But it turns out that kids are much more perceptive than we give them credit for.
An article in National Geographic breaks down the three key truths that children must eventually learn about death. First, that it's irreversible (people who die aren't just on vacation). Second, it makes your body non-functional (people who are dead aren't just asleep). And third, it's universal (everything and everybody dies eventually).
Some studies have shown that kids start to understand the concept as young as 3 years old and gradually learn to accept the many layers of it in the years that follow.
It takes time for anyone to fully grasp the gravity and foreverness of death. But we ought to learn to appreciate the whimsical, partial understanding that young children have.
Some Twitter users who read Turner's account of the riddle accused the student in question of having a morbid personality or an unusual fascination with the macabre. After all, few adults would be brave enough to blurt out something so dark.
It's a lot more likely the kid just hasn't been conditioned to fear death yet, to speak about it in hushed tones — if at all. This might be the same kind of kid who finds out his grandma has died and says, casually, "Oh, OK. Bye, grandma! See you soon!"
When you think about it, that's actually a pretty sweet and remarkably peaceful way of thinking about death. So let's stop rushing kids into having adult-sized worries about the world and let them discover it at their own pace.
As long as it gives us funny moments like this one, anyway.

“[Because] she has a figure she was told she had to change.”
A Lawton, Oklahoma, student who goes by the Facebook user name Rose Lynn had the last laugh after being sent home from school for wearing an outfit deemed "distracting." Rose Lynn believes her outfit attracted the attention of school officials because of her figure.
She proved it by posting a photo on Facebook of her modest outfit, which consisted of black leggings, a t-shirt, long cardigan, and boots. In her post, she wrote that she was sent home "because I'm developed farther than the average girl my age," and because she's a "CURVY woman." Rose Lynn also thinks the appropriate response shouldn't have been to tell her to cover up, but to teach boys to "to respect the boundaries of young ladies."
Her father, Lance Miles, agrees with her. "If she was built like a board or as round as a ball she wouldn't have been sent home but [since] she has a figure she was told she had to change," he said in the comments of her Facebook post.
"This is 100 percent on [Lawton Public Schools] because they have left the rule up to interpretation. She has been taught that if you believe in something, do what you must and be prepared for the consequences. She has done that," he continued.
Rose Lynn's post:
"So today I was sent home from class, after being in school for two hours, for my outfit. Because I'm developed farther than the average girl my age, I am required to go home and change... Because I look like a CURVY woman and may distract young boys, I have to miss class and change my outfit.
So once again, society has failed to advocate young ladies, by confining them in a box, where they are stripped from their sense of self respect and self expression, rather than teaching young men to respect the boundaries of young ladies. My response: #Feminism #YoullDistractTheBoys #SocietyIsFailing"
The before and after images for following a dress code.
Photo from Facebook page.
On the day Rose Lynn was sent home, she was due to take a 20-minute algebra exam. She asked school officials if she could take the test before changing her outfit, but her request was denied. So the next day, she got her revenge.
Rose Lynn returned to school wearing an oversize t-shirt. On the front she scribbled a quote from school officials in black Sharpie, "It doesn't cover your crotch"; on the back, "You'll distract the boys." That day, Rose Lynn was called to the office and sent home again. This time it wasn't for her outfit but for not wearing her student I.D., which she had left in the classroom after being called to the office.

This incredible medical tattoo technology is giving renewed hope to burn victims.
Meet Samira Omar.
The 17-year-old was the victim of a horrific bullying incident.
A group of girls threw boiling water on her, leaving her badly burned and covered in scars and discoloration.

She thought the physical scars would be with her forever — until she met Basma Hameed. Basma Hameed runs a tattoo shop, of sorts — but her tattoo artistry doesn't look like you'd expect. Basma is a paramedical tattoo specialist. Instead of tattooing vibrant, colorful designs, she uses special pigments that match the skin in order to conceal scars.
It looks like this:
Basma looking at Samira’s facial scarring.
Basma talking over the procedure.
Visible scars and discoloration of the skin.
Tattooing the visible scarring on her hand
With Basma's help, patients like Samira can see a dramatic decrease in their scar visibility and discoloration after a few treatments. She even offers free procedures for patients who are unable to afford treatment. That's because Basma knows firsthand just how life-changing her work can be for those coping with painful scars left behind.
Check out the video below to find out more about Basma's practice, including how she became her very first patient.

Let’s talk about mental health. Because here are some home truths.
Mind says some one in four people in the UK experience a mental health issue each year. One in six people in England report common mental health problems – think anxiety or depression – in any given week.
There are 56 million people in England. That means more than nine million people experience mental health problems each week. Nine million.
The most common of those mental health problems is mixed anxiety and depression (again, thanks Mind) but PTSD, generalised anxiety and depression are up there too. The likes of bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, phobias and OCD aren’t far behind.
Mental health problems often have devastating effects. Everyday life can become a battleground; sufferers are often worn down by the daily fight.
Mind report some 20% of people have had suicidal thoughts, for example. And suicide is the most common cause of death for men aged 20-49 in England and Wales, MentalHealth.org say.
That’s an issue we can’t sweep under the carpet.
So now let’s talk about mental health in the workplace
You spend one third of your life at work. You can’t tackle mental health without talking about the role the workplace plays.
Because here’s the thing. Some mental health problems happen completely independent of work. It’s in employers’ best interests to help people handle them, sure, but they’re not ‘caused’ by work.
But often the workplace has more to answer for.
Like, 60% of us are stressed at work and 20% experience moderate-to-high stress several times every week. That’s a problem because “when stress is chronic […] changes in the body and brain can be long-lasting”, Harvard Health say.
In other words, it’s not as simple as ‘stress causes depression’ but stress plays a significant part. The same is true with anxiety, OCD, PTSD too.
Even when we’re talking about mental health disorders like bipolar. Perhaps you’d assume bipolar ‘just is’ – a genetic issue, or chemical imbalance. But in reality, bipolar is thought to have a complex mix of triggers including – and here’s the key – environmental factors.
As the NHS puts it, bipolar disorder can be triggered by “overwhelming problems in everyday life, such as problems with money, work or relationships”.
That’s a big deal.
That’s saying that work doesn’t just cope with mental health problems when they happen. Work can actively contribute to causing, or worsening, those mental health problems.
So what should organisations do?
Mental health is a complicated topic – there’s no magic fix. Sprinkling some beanbags around and offering free breakfasts won’t cut it.
(That’s not hating on free breakfasts and beanbags, by the way. By all means, have free breakfasts and beanbags – but not just free breakfasts and beanbags).
Employers today need to really tackle mental health. That is, they need to get down and dirty in the mud with mental health. Not pay lip-service in the sidelines.
Some 45% of UK employees say their workplace doesn’t do anything to help reduce stress, for example.
At Tribepad, we take mental health incredibly seriously.
We’ve offered flexible working for more than eight years, for instance. We send people on mental health courses, regularly bring in mindfulness experts and have two mental health first aiders.
We also run financial training – because managing money can be hugely stressful, and it’s simply not taught in schools. For that same reason we offer 0% interest loans to help our people get some breathing space from debt, and help them get back on track financially. (If you’ve ever been in debt, you’ll know how overwhelmingly stressful it is.)
And then there’s the social side – improving workplace mental health means helping people form relationships, so they have a support network when they need one. So we do loads of social stuff, like go-karting, race days, beer and pizza afternoons.
The point is, we’re constantly improving our approach to mental health, trialling new initiatives to help our people stay mentally healthy – and better cope with mental health problems when they crop up.
It’s not about any single initiative BUT there’s one workplace initiative we’re super excited about right now – Doggy Therapy. We met The Cuddle Club back at the CIPD Festival of Work Exhibition and instantly fell for their dogs mission.
Animals work wonders for mental health – dissolving stress, calming anxiety and offering an instant mood boost. Dogs are even credited with helping borderline personality disorder and PTSD sufferers.
The Cuddle Club do incredible work bringing their cuddly superhero dog squad into stressed-out offices all across London. We love their mission so much we’re teaming up with them to run a competition where you can win your own doggy experience (watch this space!).
Even if you call in the dogs though (did we mention how fantastic the dogs are yet?), it’s crucial to take a bigger-picture understanding of workplace well-being.
As our CEO, Dean Sadler says:
If you don’t look after your mind, you’ll soon find your body starting to fight back. I know, I’ve personally been through it a number of times over the years. We’re big believers in looking after the whole person.
Workplace well-being isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s more about creating a pic n’ mix where people can choose how to get the best from themselves in the workplace.
This idea – that workplace well-being isn’t one-size-fits-all – is crucial. It’s about introducing a host of initiatives – like Doggy Therapy; like flexible working; like mental health days – and opening a dialogue where people can take what they need to safeguard their own mental health.
That’s the only approach that can make a difference. And nine million of us need a difference.
(This isn’t a promo piece but if this stuff resonates with you, do consider joining us. We’re always looking for fantastic people, and we’ll commit to empowering you to be your most fantastic self.)
Workplace well-being isn’t a magic salve – but it is crucial
Workplace well-being isn’t a magic wand. Mental health issues won’t instantly vanish, faced with a supportive, nurturing culture.
But workplace well-being plays a crucial role in helping, and preventing, mental health issues.
A great day at work; an understanding boss; colleagues who’ve got your back – maybe those things aren’t an instant fix. But perhaps they can encourage mental health problems to loosen their clutches, even if just for the day.
At Tribepad, we understand our people are our biggest asset – just like your people are yours. We love to work with forward-thinking businesses who put their people first. Find out why investing in your people also delivers compelling ROI here.

The Flying Pig reach quarter-finals
FLYING Pig are into the quarter-final of the Royston Scaffolding & Roofing Cup after a 3-2 triumph over Division One’s Brinkley Red Lion before Christmas.
The game was a good test to see how far the Cambridge Sunday Football League Division Two B outfit have come this season.
The Pig started much the brighter team and dominated the game in the first 25 minutes with several good attacks going just wide or clear of the line.
However, it was the Brinkley Red Lion who broke the deadlock first when they broke through the Pig’s defence to slot past the keeper.
This sparked Brinkley into life, as the Pig struggled to take control.
That was until Brett Hammand made it 1-1 with quite a stunning shot from the halfway line as the Brinkley goalkeeper was way off his line.
The second half started at a frantic pace as both sides chased the lead.
- 1 Owner elated as cat returns after going missing for 11 years
- 2 Melbourn Bowls Club celebrates centenary
- 3 Street Food Heroes return to Royston
- 4 'Do not eat' - Lidl recalls product over bacteria fears

- 10 Last-ball victory keeps Reed on the rise up the Championship
It was Wayne Blows who tapped in from six yards for The Flying Pig to take a 2-1 lead after 10 minutes.
However, this lead didn’t last long.
Brinkley’s very next attack resulted in a corner and an own goal by the Pig’s defence as they struggled to deal with the inswinging corner.
With both sides battling hard to win the game and time running out, the game looked certain to head into extra-time.
But, with Brinkley’s defence unable to clear a blistering shot from Dale Clark and with a goalmouth scramble the ball broke kindly for Aaron Cierzo on the edge of the box.
He smashed it high into the corner of the net to give The Flying Pig the victory.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman launched plans for a new city within the Neom megaproject on the Red Sea coast that will be fully pedestrianised. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has announced a revolution in urban living. “Today, as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of NEOM, I present to you THE LINE.” A city of a million residents with a length of 170km that preserves 95% of nature within NEOM, with zero cars, zero streets and zero carbon emissions”.
Neom is the flagship project of Saudi Arabia’s post-oil diversification plan known as Vision 2030 that seeks to reduce its reliance on hydrocarbons. It is being overseen by the Public Investment Fund.

We know D.C. Get our free newsletter to stay in the know.
Minivan Marauders D.C. drivers having trouble getting their minivans past inspection knew whom to call: Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans, father of triplets and fellow minivan driver. This past spring, Evans’ office fielded a fistful of complaints from residents who said that their Virginia-purchased minivans had a darker shade of window tint than District vehicles and were therefore failing inspections. Evans responded with the Motor Vehicle Tinted Window Amendment Act of 1999, sweeping legislation that would alter existing anti-tinting laws and allow for darker windows in “any 7-passenger vehicle which is not a sedan, station wagon, pick-up, or jeep-type vehicle, having a wheelbase over 114 inches.” Evans spokesperson John Ralls says the bill comes from the ward’s “soccer mom community” and adds that while the original law was intended to curb illegal activity behind darkened car windows, minivan drivers aren’t generally the criminal type. “You’re not going to see a Dodge Caravan driving around the mean streets of D.C.,” says Ralls.

The Rise of Online Gambling Tournaments
In recent years, online gambling tournaments have taken the gaming world by storm. With the convenience of playing from the comfort of your own home and the thrill of competing against players from around the globe, these tournaments have become the go-to choice for many gambling enthusiasts. As we step into the year 2023, it’s clear that online gambling tournaments are here to stay and will continue to shape the future of gaming.
How Online Gambling Tournaments Work
Online gambling tournaments are a structured form of competition where players compete against each other to win prizes. These tournaments can take various forms, including poker, blackjack, slots, and more. Participants usually pay an entry fee, and the prize pool is determined by the number of participants. The tournament progresses through different rounds, with players being eliminated until a winner emerges.
The Advantages of Online Gambling Tournaments
One of the main advantages of online gambling tournaments is convenience. Players can participate from anywhere, at any time, as long as they have an internet connection. This accessibility has opened up the world of gambling to a wider audience, as players no longer have to visit physical casinos to enjoy the excitement of tournaments.
Another advantage is the level of competition. Online gambling tournaments attract players from all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals. This creates a diverse and challenging environment, where players can test their skills and improve their strategies. Additionally, the anonymity provided by online platforms allows players to focus solely on their gameplay, without being influenced by external factors.
The Future of Online Gambling Tournaments
As technology continues to advance, we can expect online gambling tournaments to become even more immersive and engaging. Virtual reality (VR) is already making its way into the gambling industry, and it’s only a matter of time before VR tournaments become the norm. Imagine stepping into a virtual casino, interacting with other players, and experiencing the thrill of gambling like never before.
Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in online gambling tournaments will revolutionize the way games are played. AI-powered opponents will provide a more realistic and challenging experience, adapting to players’ strategies and pushing them to their limits. This will not only enhance the gameplay but also provide valuable insights and feedback to help players improve their skills.
In conclusion, online gambling tournaments have become a staple in the gaming industry, and their popularity will only continue to grow in 2023 and beyond. The convenience, competition, and future advancements make them an attractive option for both casual and serious gamblers. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, online gambling tournaments offer an exciting and rewarding experience that is hard to match. So, gear up, sharpen your skills, and get ready to participate in the thrilling world of online gambling tournaments!

[Editor's note: DC Comics' "The New 52" initiative aims to bring a new audience into the DC Universe by rebooting or significantly changing all of their superheroes and restarting them back at issue #1. In this series, the comic book newbies of The Crimson attempt to evaluate the quality and accessibility of The New 52. —Brian Feldman, Arts Web Editor]
The new Justice League #1 is a little hard to follow initially, as it places more focus on the visual than dialogue and contains no narration. It's like watching still frames from a film, so for a newbie like myself, it takes some concentration. Almost the entire issue is dialogue that provides little exposition, and so it is as if the characters are as in the dark as the audience is. The banter is typical 21st century. That is to say sarcastic and casual. The Green Lantern, upon meeting Batman for the first time, exclaims in disbelief and disappointment: "You're not just some guy in a bat costume, are you? Are you freaking kidding me?!" Gone are the days of sound effects like "Bam!" and "Pow!" which used to show strength and a certain level of badass-ness. Now the sound effects are "KRRRRKKKK" and "Krash" with a "K". Because ‘crash’ with a ‘c’ is less cool than ‘Krash’ with a ‘k’.
The great thing about this new series is that the superheroes know as little about each other as new readers will. They're like the Gen Ed classes of comic books. They assume no prior knowledge of the subject, and are tailored to the new reader with no (or little) DC experience. This issue introduces Batman, the Green Lantern, and Superman. The heroes are all learning about each other and aren't yet sure if they are allies or rivals. At one point, Superman punches Green Lantern right in the face and then asks “So… what can you do?”
For readers who are still unsure whether comic books in general are fun or intimidating, DC has included a page dedicated to the "New 52" that makes this issue and all the others in the reboot accessible. It lists all the new #1's and makes it easy to see how everything fits together. For someone who doesn't know the difference between the Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League International, you can at least see that two such things exist, you can see their release dates, and you know that if you read those comics, you will gain greater understanding of what is going on throughout the DC universe.
Powering through the initial confusion of a new #1 is worth it for a chance to see some behind-the-scenes sketches by Jim Lee that give insight into the costume choices and the thought process that went along in creating this new version of the Justice League.
The new art from Jim Lee is great—a cross between the classic Ben-Day dot comic book printing style and a grittier realism. Batman’s costume maintains his persona of utilitarianism and modesty while ink Scott Williams makes Green Lantern’s constructs glow with a flashiness almost rivaling his ego. The superheroes all, in a way, resemble Transformers and Power Rangers—action figures but with better costumes. Rugged, strong, not too sexy.
Geoff Johns’ storyline itself is not that thrilling because very little happens. Batman meets Green Lantern, they trade insults, and then travel to Metropolis to find the mysterious Superman. In the final two pages, while Batman and Green Lantern are still getting their bearings, Superman makes a powerful and authoritative entrance. With Superman standing over Batman, eyes glowing and ready to fight, the issue concludes with the ominous words “Next: Batman Vs. Superman.” Quite the way to get a new reader to pick up Justice League #2.
Although short on story and information, Justice League #1 contains tons of action, and the added bonus of a sense of accomplishment for a new reader following it all the way through. Perhaps because of its limited scope, it’s approachable, and in that sense DC has accomplished its goal.

East Asian Community and Japan's Strategy
Ippei YAMAZAWA (President, International University of Japan)
Regionalism in East Asia
In this article we examine the current state of East Asian regional integration and future prospects for what might be called the "East Asian Economic Community." There have been heated discussions on regional integration including FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) in Asia, especially since the so-called re-unification of Europe with ten new members joining in the EU on May 1, 2004. Now the question is being asked whether an economic union like the EU can be achieved in Asia. Just a few years ago the answer would have been no, but now it can be said that moves towards formation of an economic community have already begun in East Asia. In fact, there are so many arguments mushrooming about these moves, and the mass media often reports that China is taking initiative while Japan is lagging behind in pursuing FTAs and further integration in East Asia.
Why is regionalism being pursued in the age of globalization? Because regionalism is a result of governments' responses to the globalization of business activities for the purpose of improving the policy environment for economic growth. Governments are trying to attract both domestic and foreign firms to their own territories by integrating themselves into their neighboring region. These moves have been continuing along with WTO negotiations and promoted by "competitive liberalization," seeking gains from the dynamic effects of an integrated market.
In East Asia momentum emerged for regional integration in the recovery process of the financial crisis in the late 1990s. Intra-regional trade and investment increased mainly due to market-driven economic integration, first among Japan, Korea and ASEAN nations, and later joined by China. Various proposals have been made for bilateral FTAs, ASEAN+1, ASEAN+3, etc., in order to avoid another economic crisis in the region.
Japan's Move Towards FTAs
As for Japan's move towards FTAs, the Japan-Singapore EPA (Economic Partnership Agreement) took effect in 2002, and the Japan-Mexico FTA concluded in March, 2004. The Japan-Korea FTA was first proposed in 1998 and official negotiations with the Korean government have been continuing since December 2003, while negotiations with Thailand and the Philippines started in February 2004.
However, the most significant development so far has been the conclusion of the framework agreement for the Japan-ASEAN Comprehensive Economic Partnership (CEP) in October 2003, where Japan is shifting from conventional bilateral relations with ASEAN nations to the ASEAN-wide integrated market and division of labor. While Japan's major firms have already built their business networks in each of the ASEAN countries, the CEP with an integrated ASEAN will create new business opportunities and attract more foreign investment in the region.
In this regard, China seems a little ahead of Japan, because China signed the China-ASEAN framework agreement for economic cooperation in November 2002, aiming to achieve an FTA in 2010-2015. It is notable that China unilaterally declared the liberalization of eight agricultural products including fresh vegetables, fruits and ornamental plants. These are most difficult areas for Japan to liberalize due to political pressure within the country.
Towards an East Asian Economic System
Although pursuing FTAs is a desirable step forward, it would certainly be better to have an economic community covering the whole East Asian region by emphasizing ASEAN+3, for example. However, its early realization is impeded by non-economic factors on the "3" side, such as differences in social systems, lack of experience in integration, and wartime memories and mutual distrust. Therefore, it is more realistic to promote various regional trade agreements simultaneously by taking advantage of momentum regarding FTAs in East Asia, while sharing the importance of the East Asian Economic Community as an ultimate goal.
In such a community, a common economic system would be shared, while each player, whether a government or a firm, should pursue efficiency, profitability, transparency, accountability, etc. under the pressure of globalization. Does this mean that we are heading for the so-called Anglo-American standard? There seems to be a little uneasiness in adopting such a standard in East Asia countries with unique social, cultural and human relationships and concern about the dominance of economic meritocracy and continued economic inequality under the Anglo-American standard.
Since such a movement towards regional integration is a gradual process, especially in East Asia, the difference between the East Asian and Anglo-American standards will remain for a long time to come. We should pursue a unique economic system with enough flexibility to embrace all economies in Asia, but at the same time with efficiency and competitiveness to survive in global competition.

Businesses celebrate lifting of load restrictions
Creemore area businesses organized a caravan early last Friday morning to celebrate the lifting of seasonal load restrictions on a portion of County Roads 9 and 42.
About 25 trucks paraded along County Road 9 from Midwest Metals to Steer’s new facility at Cashtown Corners, with Mayor Doug Measures and Deputy Mayor Barry Burton travelling in the lead vehicle.
The County of Simcoe lifted the restriction, which would have come into effect March 1, in response to a request from the Township of Clearview, specifically a number of Creemore and area businesses that rely on trucking to move goods and provide services.
A committee of affected businesses, going by the name of Clearview Road Upgrade Committee, including Creemore Springs Brewery, Alliance Homes, Midwest Metals and many agricultural related businesses came forward requesting a 10-kilometre portion of the county roads be brought up to standard to allow for full loads, negating the need for half loads in March and April, during the spring thaw.
Burton, who was championing the issue on behalf of those businesses said at the time of the decision last May, he was happy to see the restrictions lifted but would have rather had council support the option with funding for road reconstruction built in.
Full depth reconstruction for this 10-kilometre section is estimated at $20 million.
County staff reported the portions of County Roads 9 and 42 are in good condition but the precise impact of removing the seasonal load limits is unknown, adding it is certain to reduce the useful life of the road and cause premature surface deficiencies that will need to be addressed.
Currently, the road is not scheduled for rehabilitation until 2028.

7x10: 7' wide x 10' tall board, no kickboard (can be drilled to fit Kilter Board Original or Kilter Board Homewall)
The kickboard on the larger kilter board frame sizes can vary in height but we recommend at least 18" exposed above pads and it's better to have 24" or even 30" exposed so when the board is steeper there's plenty of room to move under it and also so the low starts are more comfortable as you can smear your low foot on the exposed wall. If you have to go shorter to due to your space constraints you can and things are still workable. You can also go with no kick board if you are severely limited for space.
With a Kilter Board Layout, the Kilter App lets you share problems with other users around the world. You can log ascents, see beta videos, add your own beta videos, tag problems with different notes, set problems (now with draft mode) and more! New features are in the works as well to continue to enhance your Kilter Board experience.
If you use multiple boards of different sizes/layouts your Kilter App can save them separately so you can use one app for all the Kilter Board Layouts you climb on. The app is free for Apple and Android.
Check out our Instagram for videos and photos: @kilterboard
For the Kilter Board Layout you'll want pre-drilled light holes on your board, as our Kilter Board also comes with a light kit and controller box. Unlike other boards, Kilter Board holds light up all the way around making them intuitive to grab and easy to see from any angle. Kilter Board Frames can be drilled for Kilter Board Original or Kilter Board Homewall layout.

This hotel is not new, you will see some aging in it and this is what some people don't like. Probably last remodeling was a while ago.
But, this is a good hotel in mid town, located not far from Jacob Javits center and Times Square.
It is good for few night.
Rooms are not big but suitable for one or two people. Linens are clean, as well as bathroom. Not all rooms have a good view of the city.
Staff is very friendly and helpful, at least that is what I experienced.
Prices age good comparing to overall in Manhattan.
I would recommend it.More

State legislators may be having trouble agreeing on the right way to balance California’s budget, but there’s one thing they can all agree on, and so can everyone — the best young tennis players in the state this year hail from Northern California.
The NorCal teams are the best in California, and they have the Gar Glenney Cup to prove. The boys and girls 18, 15, and 12-and-under teams joined forces to defeat the teams from Southern California in the 26th annual Junior Team Tennis finals held Aug. 22-23 at San Diego State University.
Each summer, age group tennis teams from the north and south ends of the California meet to determine state superiority, and with the win this summer Northern California has evened the series at 13-13.
Helping the North to the state title was the Courtside Tennis Club’s boys 15 team. The boys backed up a NorCal championship — the 50th for Courtside over the last 26 years–with an 8-1 win over San Diego’s Surf and Turf in the state finals.
Courtside swept the six singles matches and won two out of three doubles matches to take the team win.
Matt Roberts, out of Branham High School, and Nico Lunardi, of Los Gatos High, played the three most exciting matches of the day in the finals.
Roberts lost in the first set at No. 1 singles 6-4 to J.P. Boyd, but came back to win the second set 6-3, then took the tiebreaker 10-4.
It was more of the same at No. 2 singles. Lunardi lost a tight 7-5 nod to Aaron Meitzer in the first set, but took the second set 6-3 and the tiebreaker 10-7.
Roberts and Lunardi joined forces at No. 1 doubles, but it was Boyd and Meitzer winning 6-2, 3-6 (10-6) to take the only win of the day for Surf and Turf.
Trevor James (Bellarmine) topped David Demerest 6-2, 6-1 at No. 3 singles and Garrett Taylor (Bellarmine) beat Adam Levine 6-3, 6-3 at No. 4. Steven Chung (Bellarmine) whipped Robert Shaw at No. 5 and Jimmy Manning (Westmont) handled Conner Eck at No. 6, both by 6-2, 6-2 decisions.
Lunardi and Manning combined for a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 2 doubles over Demerest and Levine, and Shungo Kusakabe (Lynbrook) and Takumi Takahashi (Lynbrook) knocked off Shaw and Eck at No. 3 doubles.
The local boys 15 team, that defended the title Courtside won a year ago, joined forces with the Rolling Hills of Novato girls 15 team to win the mixed doubles event 4-2.

How old is he? How long have you had him? What type of home did he come from?
If he is new and just left his littermates and mom, or just left the family that he knew and was familiar with he may be looking for them. He has left everything that is familiar and is now in a new home. He doesn't know this new home and this new family yet, and the other cats still aren't his 'friends' so he is probably lonely and looking for something familiar. He is calling out because he feels 'lost'. This is what kittens do when they are young and Momcat hears them and comes running to bring them back to the safety of home. When he calls, go to him, pick him up and cuddle him and reassure him so that he won't feel lost and abandoned and will eventually learn that his 'new' mommy will come when he calls and reassure him.
It is unlikely as he grows and becomes more comfortable in your home and makes friends with his feline family that he will continue to meow as much or as long. He may always be something of a talker though. All of mine are talkers, and Bear -who knows I am 'mommy' since he was bottle fed - calls me whenever he wants ANYTHING! hehehe, oh well!
Good luck with your little one.

How Long Do Puppies Teethe? Teething is a months-long process. It starts when puppies are around 2 weeks old and their first baby teeth start to come in and usually ends at around 8 months of age, when all the adult teeth are fully erupted.
How long does teething last in puppies?
Puppy teething is intense, but usually ends when adult teeth come in at six months. Relieve teething pain and redirect chewing by providing safe puppy chew toys.
How long does the puppy chewing stage last?
Much like human infants, puppies go through a stage when they lose their baby teeth and experience pain as their adult teeth come in. This intensified chewing phase usually ends by six months of age.
How can I help my puppy with teething?
Most techniques to soothe teething babies and puppies rely on one simple action: chewing. Any pet supply store will stock a variety of chew-toy options. There are plush toys, rubber toys, plastic toys, chew sticks, rawhide bones, etc.. While you don’t need one of everything, it’s good to have options.
How do I know if my puppy is teething?
Puppy Teething Symptoms
Excessive chewing or nipping. Drooling. Small blood spots on your dog’s toys. Red or swollen gums.
When is teething worst for puppies?
Chewing is often a reaction to the pain of new teeth coming in, and an unconscious effort to encourage old teeth to loosen. While puppies won’t just chew at four months of age, the worst of it is likely to happen then.
What happens if puppy teeth don’t fall out?
If the persistent deciduous tooth is a lower canine, the permanent lower canine is forced to erupt on the inside of the persistent deciduous tooth and as the permanent tooth erupts it will contact the roof of the mouth causing pain and damage which makes it difficult for your dog to eat.
At what age are puppies most hyper?
You play a huge role in your puppy’s energy levels too! If you make sure that your puppy gets a healthy amount of exercise during the day, that will keep him from getting hyper. Now, as for what age puppies tend to be the most hyper, they’ll begin experiencing an increase in energy around 10 weeks old.
How do I get my puppy to stop biting my hands and feet?
Ideally, he’ll start to anticipate and look for a toy when he feels like mouthing. If your puppy bites at your feet and ankles, carry his favorite tug toy in your pocket. Whenever he ambushes you, instantly stop moving your feet. Take out the tug toy and wave it enticingly.
How do you stop a puppy from biting and chewing?
Teach what to chew
- Take responsibility for your own belongings. …
- Give your dog toys that are clearly distinguishable from household goods. …
- Supervise your dog until they learn the house rules. …
- Give your dog plenty of people-time. …
- Give your dog plenty of physical and mental exercise. …
- Build a toy obsession in your dog.
Do Puppies feel pain when teething?
Puppies who are teething tend to have a lot of pain in their gums and mouths. Because of this, they usually drool more often than they did in their earlier days.
What do you feed a teething puppy?
Feeding Tips for Your Teething Puppy
- Mix his regular, premium dry food with a premium canned puppy food to soften the dry food and make mealtime even more appealing. Or, try some moist food to help him through this sensitive period.
- Soak dry food in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
What are the best teething toys for puppies?
- AKC Shop Puppy Teething Pack.

When do you start brushing puppies teeth?
Starting to brush your pup’s teeth between the ages of eight and sixteen weeks is vital to the health of his teeth and starting out this early will make it much easier for him to get used to this daily activity. That’s right, you should be brushing your pup’s teeth every day before bedtime, just like you do your own.
How do I know if my puppy is happy?
Loose shoulders, soft eyes without a fixed gaze, and a dose of ‘wiggliness’ or pure ‘flopped-outness’ are all clues that your dog’s feeling super chill. They’re playful. A happy dog is more likely to want to play and leap around. Play “bows” are a great sign your dog is in the mood.
Do puppies get a fever when teething?
Some puppies experience a slight fever while teething which should be monitored to ensure their temperature does not climb too high.
