Married at First Sight star Megan Wolfe has opened up about the huge backlash she received after cheating on husband Bob Boysey with Jordan Mundell on the E4 show.

Each of the contestants have blossomed in popularity as they found fame from their time while taking part in the dating experiment, but not all cast members are grateful for the extra attention.

In an exclusive chat with the Daily Star, reality star Megan admitted that she “didn’t leave the house much” while the popular TV show aired due to the vast amount of hateful messages from evil trolls on social media.

As she reflected on her time on the show, Megan admitted that she struggled to cope with the amount of backlash she faced after she cheated on her husband Bob with fellow contestant Jordan.

The wellness coach said: “I think now everyone’s looking back, a lot of people would have done things differently and that’s really hard.

“I can’t lie I had a really hard time, but I also had to own my actions as well. At no point did I defend myself [and] I think it was a hard lesson but a good lesson learnt.”

When asked how she felt watching the show back this autumn, Megan revealed: “It was like reliving it.

“It was like going through it like I was at the time but more because there were thousands of trolls in my DMs sending death threats.

“It was really hard to watch back, I didn’t leave the house much,” the TV personality explained.

Looking back on the incident itself, Megan revealed that her connection with Jordan was never going to last long and confessed it was a “drunken kiss.”

When asked whether she stayed in touch with the 27-year-old personal trainer, she quickly responded: “No.”

“Me and Jordan were never gonna be a thing. It was very short lived, it was a drunken kiss.

"I'm not blaming the alcohol, but we’ve all been there and when I sat and listened to him speak to Alexis the way he did on the couch, I sat there and thought 'The best outcome here is that Jordon leaves.’

“So, when he did, I thought, ‘Oh thank the Lord’ because I don’t know what I would have done if he stayed,” she explained.

Although Megan and Alexis clashed on the show, the pair actually became good friends by the end of the social experiment despite the various arguments throughout.

She shared: “Contrary to what we saw on the programme, me and Alexis got on better than most people. I got on with Tayah best but me and Alexis spent a lot of time together off camera.

“I apologised a lot and Alexis is one of my favourite people off the show and we still get on really well now like we did before.”

As she recalled the memorable ladies day as the group enjoyed an adorable tea party, the health coach admitted the explosive argument “came out of nowhere” with no suggestions that the pair would fall out again.

“For me, it really came out of nowhere ‘cause we’d had a week together and we were fine,” she explained. “And then as soon as we start filming again, we go again.

“I think it’s important to remember it’s a highly produced show and things are poked and prodded to elicit a reaction, but some of it still was unprompted and uncalled for.”

How to Spot a Ponzi Scheme and Other Investment Fraud – NBC 6 South Florida » Scammer News

Getting rich quick is a promise you may have heard from someone trying to recruit you into a new business or investment opportunity.

But, a lot of these promises can be too good to be true, and could cost you thousands of dollars.

It’s a lesson Gilmer Bautista said he recently learned. Bautista says earlier this year he was looking for a way to make extra money.

“Initially, I invested $1000,” Bautista said.

He leaped at a new investment opportunity.

“I got excited and decided to put in more money,” Bautista said.

But it didn’t take long for him to realize this roll of the dice wouldn’t pay off.

“At first I was devastated. I basically pulled my savings,” Bautista said.

According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Gilmer had invested his money in an alleged Ponzi scheme. Ponzi schemes and other investment fraud has been on the rise since the start of the pandemic.

Typically, a Ponzi scheme…

Big Fans in Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities – HVLS Fan Systems

At its essence, any manufacturing facility has extensive operations in action over an expanse of area. Regardless of the inherent nature of the facility, whether it be storage or an active manufacturing site the even distribution of air throughout the facility is critical both in comfort, preservation, and energy costs. While a facility may have a lot of human or machine activity, the use of HVLS systems to evenly distribute air and optimize HVAC usage is critical to achieving peak performance.

The Need for Change

Within a manufacturing facility conditions can be very extreme with massive ceilings and hot machines running non-stop. For both industrial equipment and staff on the floor the environment in the facility can have a massive impact and production. Inconsistency in temperature and poor regulation of the HVAC system can hurt production efficiency. Comfortable conditions for floor workers can greatly improve moral and production capacity – when working it is best to focus on the task at hand, not being uncomfortable from the conditions.
As the owner or manager of a large facility, optimize performance is critical to the bottom line. An HVLS fan can help you achieve a higher level of productivity while keeping your staff and equipment safe and more comfortable in better operating conditions.

The Ultimate Solution

You would think that air condition and heating in a facility would achieve the desired result of environmental conditions, but oftentimes this is not the case. An HVAC system can push or pull hot and cold air but it does work efficiently enough when a facility is very large with high ceilings and large open loading docks. Trying to regular a facility with AC and heat can be extremely costly and ineffective.

What do you do when HVAC is not enough?

Consider HVLS, High Volume Low Speed Fans. An HVLS Fan is a system which can move an absolutely massive amount of air with the very low energy usage of spinning just 1 motor.
Think about how easily a human can create a breeze for an ant, that is HVLS.

HVLS Fans Systems

Structurally HVLS fans is very similar to a standard ceiling fan you’d find in a home or office – they’re just 4-10x larger.
HVLS fans can range from big 8 foot fans to absolutely MASSIVE 24-foot fans which can be used in systems of multiple fans to cool or move heat around in the largest of facilities. 8 foot fans are great for smaller big spaces like large homes, hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants, while 20-24 foot fans can support massive manufacturing and warehouse facilities.
The way an HVLS fan is built, each blade has such a large surface area that with each rotation a huge gust of air is moved not only evening out the temperature throughout a facility but improving the efficiency of an HVAC system and saving you up to 33% year round.
In the summer the wind speeds created by an HVLS system capitalize on the human trait of sweating, this fan can help everyone in a commercial location or facility feel up to 15 degrees cooler.
In the winter many facilities face issues where the heating system tries to regulate temperature but all of the heat rises and sits on the ceiling, an HVLS system easily pushes this hot area down and throughout the space creating an even, warm, and efficient space for everyone.
Warehouses and Storage Facilites
When advertising a climate-controlled facility, having HVAC in place and actually effectively controlling the climate are two very different things.
Managing the temperature and humidity in a climate-controlled facility with large floors and massive ceilings is extremely difficult without the support of another system such as fans.
For both workers, customers, and products or goods in a warehouse, keeping the temperature and humidity under control are critical to the longevity of your things. Extreme heat, moisture, extreme cold, and other climate factors can easily destroy goods and machinery over time, especially things made of high-risk materials such as metal, wood, masonry, and more.

Ten Things You Didn’t Know About World War Two warplanes

Spitfire F Mk. IX, BS451, FY-V of No. 611 Squadron at Biggin Hill
[Crown Copyright]

Unlike the many brilliant British aero-engineers of the 1930s and ’40s, who were repeatedly thwarted by crusty officialdom, their German equivalents were lavishly funded and nurtured by both a determined state and a brutally efficient military …or so the myth goes. As we shall find out in ’10 things you didn’t know about World War II Warplanes’, the truth was rather different. Calum Douglas B.Eng M.Sc is a piston aero-engine history specialist, and author of The Secret Horsepower Race – WESTERN FRONT FIGHTER ENGINE DEVELOPMENT The reason Germany missed out on the two-stage supercharger  Focke-Wulf-Fw-190D11-prototype-V56-GV+CW-WNr-170924-Adelheide-Bremen-14th-Aug-1944-01 The Mk IX Spitfire, with its two-stage supercharged engine, is lauded for having rescued the RAF from the clutches of the Focke-Wulf 190. Given the new Spitfire’s effectiveness did the Focke-Wulf rapidly counter it with a similarly equipped fighter? No. Germany only fielded a couple of fighter types with two-stage superchargers and both entered service far later, very close to the end of the War. They were the Fw 190D-11 and Ta 152, powered by the Jumo 213E/F. The Jumo 213E had a system like the Merlin, but only appeared in tiny numbers a few months before the collapse of Germany. German failure to develop a two-stage supercharged fighter is widely regarded as one of their great technical failures in high-altitude flight. However, this was as much an organisational failure as anything else, as Daimler-Benz had been running two-stage supercharged DB601 engines since around 1936 in their test cells in Stuttgart Untertürkheim. Focke-Wulf master designer Kurt Tank told incredulous American engineers that the notion of a two-stage supercharged fighter had been quashed by German military bureaucrats before it could take full form. The Luftwaffe was regarded at the time as purely a tactical force, designed to support ground operations. They saw the ability of fighters to attain very high altitudes as an anathema to this strategic concept, and cancelled all such projects. They did have their own equivalent to the Spitfire Mk IX’s engine, but wasted the opportunity with sheer ineptitude. 2. Britain needed fuel from the US to survive?  Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-1975-117-26,_Marschflugkörper_V1_vor_Start.jpg Germany is well known for its successful synthetic aviation fuel programme in the Second World War, which created fuel from coal and hydrogen, mixed under high pressure and temperatures. However, Britain had embarked on a programme to do the same thing. This began as early as 1932 and received strong Air Ministry support from about 1936 onwards. Not as outlandish as it sounds, Britain was at the time the third largest producer of coal in the world, and could therefore, have waged war against Germany even if no fuel from America had ever arrived. When, later in the war it became imperative to increase the performance of fighters stationed in Britain to combat the German pulse-jet powered V1 flying bombs, it was the British synthetic fuel programme which helped yield ingredients for the 150 Grade fuel that was needed. This fuel was also made in the U.S.A., but the process was pioneered at I.C.I. Billingham in the laboratory of Ronald Holroyd. holr.png 3. Radio gagger History_ham_2 After the ascension of Nazis into power, all amateur radio activity and associated clubs and component development was banned. The paranoia of the Nazi state couldn’t allow the thought of young Germans freely communicating with long distance HAM radio, or listening to remote foreign broadcasting stations. This had a catastrophic impact on German radar and electronic warfare development a decade later. Dr Wolfgang Martini, in charge of all German radio technological development was fired by Göring not long after Martini admitted that he had no countermeasures to British jamming devices. Erhard Milch dryly reminded Göring that having no enthusiastic young radio fanatics to help had likely been a direct result of their earlier policy on banning youth radio.

Martini time

Not long before this meeting, on 8th October 1943 Göring had also harangued Martini on why they had not been able to shoot down more de Havilland Mosquitos, which were now roaming with almost complete impunity over all of Germany day and night. Martini had reported that their radar was struggling to get a reliable echo return on the Mosquito, due in part to its very high speed and also its primarily wooden construction. Göring, infuriated with the lack of technical prowess, told Martini: “Er hat Genie, und wir haben Dösköppe.” (“They [the English] have the geniuses and we have bone-heads.”)

The first ‘stealthy’ intruder

While a popular documentary was made about the German Horten jet-fighters being the first stealth aircraft, in fact the best real evidence for a high speed intruder aircraft which (probably inadvertently) had a very small radar signature was the British Mosquito.

4. The lost List  Hans List, was probably the most renowned piston engine development scientist in Germany in the Second World War. In Europe he was second only to Sir Harry Ricardo in stature. Whilst Ricardo was busy helping Rolls-Royce develop a two-stroke engine to replace the Merlin in the Spitfire, Dr List squandered much of his time on bizarrely speculative projects, such as working out how to increase the performance of the enemy’s Packard-Merlin engine. Ostensibly this project (which must have absorbed the work of his laboratory for several months) was to provide technical intelligence predictions to the German designers by judging what technical steps the British might take in their own development methods. However, there is a strong case that the entire project was an unbelievable waste of the talents of the great Dr List. Not long after the war, List started the engine development consultancy AVL, which remains the largest privately owned engine development firm in the world today. This kind of abysmally poor usage of German talent was very representative of the gigantic failure to leverage science by the Nazis in the Second World War. Whilst they are acknowledged for having started the jet, rocket and space race, this appears to have been the fruits of a totally unbalanced research programme, which required the resources of the Allies to make full use of post-war. Figure 2: Translated version of Dr List’s report on the Merlin. clutches.png 5. Why did the Germans really put a german engine on a Spitfire?  The now well-known ‘MesserSpit‘ or  ‘German Spitfire’ was a captured Spitfire Vb fitted with a Daimler-Benz DB605 engine. The re-engining largely took place to settle a feud between the head of Daimler-Benz Fritz Nallinger, and Professor Willy Messerschmitt. ref.jpgMesserschmitt, furious with being blamed for the poor performance of German fighters compared to the latest Allied types in 1943, told Erhard Milch that this was no surprise to him, because he was forced to fit water radiators twice the size of those the Spitfire used, per horsepower delivered. Erhard Milch, astonished, turned to the head of German Engine Development Wolfram Eisenlohr and asked him: “How have our designers not noticed this?” Germany, had failed to develop high-pressure-high-temperature water cooling. This meant that their radiators had to be significantly larger in section than the Allied fighters used, adding to their drag values. They estimated this was costing German fighters at least 15mph in top speed, enough to turn a performance edge into mere equality. 6. Speer’s fake miracle  Albert Speer is credited with the miracle of German fighter production in 1944, where vast numbers of fighters were built. However when Allied investigators interrogated Speer and started adding up the numbers in his departments production figures they discovered an incredible secret. Eight thousand German single engine fighters in the ledgers, didn’t exist. Further investigation revealed that although Speer had managed to dramatically increase the number of fighters produced, he had also cooked the books to gain favour with Hitler. American engineers discovered that Speer had done it by having all aircraft being repaired, or refitted re-allocated to the ‘new aircraft’ ledger. Thus, giving a dramatically over inflated impression of his achievements. That was not all, German engine designers told Allied engineers that the impressive final boost levels released by Daimler for the Bf 109 of +2.1 and even +2.3 atmospheres manifold pressure, where in fact needed just to get the 109 to meet its basic service specifications. Speer’s ‘miracle’ had created fighters of such incredibly poor build quality that the Daimler-Benz engine designers told the Allies that the fighters reaching the front line were on average an incredible 25mph slower than their claimed performance (over 6%). The allies had faced hordes of ‘ghost fighters’, those which were not figments of Speers ledgers were in performance terms, shadows of their potential.

7. Sexing down the ‘Butcher Bird’ The Fw 190 was judged to be such a serious threat when it arrived, that the Chief of Air Staff, Sir Charles Portal wrote to Churchill on the matter. The archives show that he rewrote the letter twice in March 1942 before sending it, each successive letter putting the threat across in more nuanced language than the last. The first read: “adverse casualty rate”, the second version scored out this line and replaced it with “unfavourable balance” and finally “unfavourable factor”. Figure 3: One of the draft letters Portal prepared for Churchill. sss.png 8. Why the chaos?  There is strong evidence to suggest that German aviation production planning was thrown into the ruinously bad state of organisation which plagued it during the Second World War as early as 1936. One of Germany’s most renowned aviation designers Dr Robert Lusser (who had worked for Messerschmitt and Heinkel) wrote to the Secretary of State for Air, Erhard Milch on 15th January 1942 to inform him that German aviation was being destroyed by the application of badly thought out plans to accelerate production of new types. Figure 4: Dr Robert Lusser, German aviation designer.ggg Lusser explained how up to 1936, the path from aviation development to mass production had taken (in planning) at least 4 years. This began with design, then testing, production simplifications and prototype building over the course of the middle 2 years, with mass production beginning in the 3rd year.

Screenshot 2020-07-22 at 23.33.29.png Figure 5: Lusser`s chart of how production was planned up until 1936 in Germany. At a certain stage, due to the pressures from above, planning had attempted to be ‘compressed’ by one year, to allow mass production (Gross Serie) to begin after just two years. This involved both testing (Erprobung), production simplifications (Serieneinfachung) and prototype build (Null-Serie) all occurring at once, over the course of just one year. To make this (in theory) a possibility, demands were also made that design and testing resources might have to be drafted in from other firms who were being under utilized in some particular capacity at the time. Figure 6: The same chart modified to show how it was altered post-1936. Screenshot 2020-07-22 at 23.35.02 The process was in fact, according to Lusser, a disaster. It resulted in several aircraft of appalling quality being made, and the changes needed to rectify the faults ended up putting on far more time than would have been taken to just stick to the original, (proven) time plan. Lusser, regarding these compressed plans told Milch: “Diese Glaube hat sich als eine schwere illusion!” (“These beliefs [that production can be accelerated] are nothing more than a fantasy!”) 9. Willy’s Frölich? Frankreich, Flugzeug Me 210 The Messerschmitt Me 210, the much-needed replacement for the ageing Me 110 was a disaster which tarnished Professor Messerschmitt’s reputation for decades and resulted in him temporarily being demoted. However, it appears from archive records of interrogations carried out in 1945 of German aviation designers that it may not have been his fault. According to British Technical Intelligence files on the Me 210, a series of problems occurred, none of which were instigated by the professor himself. It turned out that in the concept phase, the German Air Ministry (the RLM) told Messerschmitt that a team of designers from the Arado firm would be drafted in to the Messerschmitt offices to design the wings and tail section. This team was led by Arado engineers Rethel and Frölich. There was a fundamental disagreement about the ideal concept to take, but the RLM insisted that the Arado engineer’s idea was to be followed, and the original twin-fin tail layout was rejected. If that were not enough, for reasons of expediting the development timeline the RLM ordered that the drawings were to bypass the manufacturing department (fertigungsbüro). When the aircraft was tested, it displayed appalling aerodynamic instability and frightening structural failures (the wings sometimes broke off at about 2/3 of the distance from the wing-root). It killed many pilots and was branded a dangerous menace. Two hundred had been made when production was stopped whilst the errors were fixed. The tail was modified five times before it had been enlarged enough to induce stability. This never worked very well, and only when the original specifications were re-issued as the Me 410 was the fighter a success. By the time that occurred, the design was nowhere near as useful as it would have been had it been in service two or three years prior. Messerschmitt had fallen victim to RLM incompetence and demonstrated exactly why Lusser had been right when he wrote to Milch. 10. Teacher’s pets  German technical intelligence spent its time producing wonderfully artistic but useless reports on British aircraft development possibilities, whist the British produced simple projections on possible German developments on a single sheet of paper with a typewriter and some hand-drawn arrows. Figure 7: Typical British Intelligence chart showing projections for the Bf 109 development. Screenshot 2020-07-22 at 23.14.47.png The German reports were produced by Dietrich Schwenke, who was the head of German aviation technical intelligence. What follows is a page showing the equivalent projections on possible British developments with the Spitfire. This was part of a mammoth 60-odd page report, the illustrations for which must have taken weeks to prepare. Figure 8: One of the well-illustrated pages from Schwenke’s huge pamphlet on Allied aviation developments Screenshot 2020-07-22 at 23.17.30 We can conclude from this only that the German report was not written to provide a timely and useful memo for German engineers, but was written to show superiors an impressive looking publication to convince them what a thorough job they were doing. It would have taken so long to prepare that by the time it was released much of the utility of the information was lost. This concentration of appearance over substance is representative of much of the failure which resulted in the German defeat in the air over Germany in 1943 and 1944. In conclusion, it was not in fact the Allied engineer who struggled against all odds to succeed but the German. Whist Allied policies and choices are full of incompetence and failure, the German story simply has even more disastrous strategic errors, and so reached the event horizon of defeat.

    Great article. The time compression for German design and development has been frequently ignored, with too many books and opinions expressing surprise at (usually new engines) ‘not working’ – there being a totally logical reason for the that and it usually involves rushed development. I did think that multi-stage super-chargers were in development, but fell down the list of priorities until too late. Fw.190C etc with DB 603s and Ju 213s were supposed to be the move in this direction but was never given support owing to other requirements.

    Just to add to your Speer’s self-serving myth, Tooze has demonstrated conclusively that the production increase was also due to a massive allocation of workers, coal, energy, raw materials etc. during 1943-44 which – astonishingly – allowed fighter manufacture to peak. Shame about most other sectors of the war economy. Oh, and also he denied all knowledge of the Holocaust or slave labour. Which is a lie of such magnitude that I am, surprised he was not hit by a random bullet of karma.

  2. kimmargosein

    Two items- First, wasn’t this compressed development tried with the F-35? Second, regarding reports-Anyone in a bureaucracy can take one look at the German report, and realize it is made to cover not only all points, but all asses.

more hello kitty cupcakes

My good friend's daughter Naomi loves Hello Kitty (just like me!), so I made her some fresh strawberry Hello Kitty cupcakes for her 3rd birthday this past week.

Ever since my original post on these cupcakes, I've made them so many times I can't remember!  They are probably my most requested cupcake.  The first time I made them, I paired them with my fresh strawberry buttercream.  But I thought the combination was too sweet, and a little too much strawberry.  So now I prefer topping them with my tangy cream cheese frosting instead.

The hardest part about making these cupcakes is dicing the strawberries for the batter.  You need to dice them extra extra tiny, or else you'll get huge chunks of wet strawberries in your cupcake (which scared me the first time I made these because at first I thought it was uncooked batter!)  One of these days I'm going to try pureeing the strawberries instead, but I have a feeling it just wouldn't be the same as a delicate white cake speckled with tiny pieces of strawberries.

Hope you had a happy, happy birthday little Naomi!  I can't believe you're three!

  1. wow, you dice the strawberries?! amazing!

  2. Such pretty, pretty cupcakes. I love Hello Kitty even though I'm so old already :-) I hope she's alright after the tsunami. Happy birthday Naomi!!!

  3. Love all your Hello Kitty stuff! I want to know thought -- what piping tips do you use for Hello Kitty's head and ears?

  4. @Anonymous - for the ears i use a leaf tip, and for the head i use a wilton #5, which is just a round tip that's about a cm wide.

  5. Thanks for the reply!!

  6. Could I place order with you for any cupcakes? My daugter birthday is comming up. Do u have a store? Thanks. I'm in sanjose, ca.

  7. @Anonymous - yes i take custom orders! and i am in the bay area also. please send me an email by clicking on the link for "features and mentions", then scroll to the bottom of the page and click "contact me"! thanks!

According to the CT legislature's committee, over 5,000 students who opted for online-only learning across Connecticut have never once logged into a single day of class, according to an article in the Hartford Courant.

The education department has crunched the numbers and found out that 3.1 percent of remote students or 5,165, were absent all week from Oct. 5-9. Throughout the state, the education department has provided more than 142,000 laptops along with internet access for approximately 60,000 families. Martha Stone, who's the executive director of the Center for Children's Advocacy, told the Hartford Courant:

When you already had issues of chronic absenteeism in major urban districts, and then you overlay the COVID problems and connectivity problems, it's really important to get accurate measures for both chronic absenteeism and student achievement because they will both be affected.

980 online-only students in Hartford and 1,340 in New Haven had not logged on once between Sept. 21-25. Other cities and towns where students didn't log in during that same week were New London, Torrington, and Windsor.

Our grandson is a first-grader in New Milford who's enrolled in a hybrid learning program at his school. I asked his mom what a typical virtual learning day looks like at home. She told me it took some time for Bradley to adapt 'to going to school from home,' but he settled in when the routine became established.

Bradley - Ethan Photo

During an online-learning day, Bradley has his own desk area where his school supplies are kept along with his Chromebook computer so he and his class can interact with their teacher. They are given specific assignments to work on throughout the four-hour period, followed by more virtual classroom instruction. It's amazing how both the teachers and their students have adapted to this new-normal of learning.

The Danbury Hat Tricks announced on Tuesday that due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the FPHL has decided to cancel the rest of the league's season.

In a press release issued by the Danbury team, they explained to their fans just what was going on:

We are extremely disappointed and disheartened to announce that the FPHL’s 2019-20 season has come to an end. It is hard to feel anything other than unfulfilled as the season comes to this unceremonious close.

With that said, we understand that the FPHL League Office is under strenuous amounts of pressure amidst growing national and international concern, and we respect their consideration for the players and their safety. Public well-being is top priority, plain and simple. We thank the league officials for their thoughtfulness and appreciate their hard work.

They also had this to say directed right at their fan base:

To our fans: thank you for your undying support. We share your heartache. Our players gave everything they had for you, and you were there to cheer us on night after night through thick and thin. We wanted so badly to bring the Cup home to you. Know this: we will be back, and we will be ready to compete for a championship once more.

If you were a season ticket holder, or had purchased tickets to an upcoming game, the team will be in touch with you. In the meantime, they want you to know if you have any questions you can direct them to Herm Sorcher at

The press release ended on an optimistic note wishing fans well, to practice caution and sanitize frequently, because as they said, "we need our fans at full strength when the hockey season returns next fall".

Morning Coffee: Cup Twenty-Seven

morning_coffeeToday’s post is brought to you by: Hills Bros. Original Blend.

It’s time for another Morning Coffee post, where I post odds and ends that catch my attention. Buckle up, ’cause it’s gonna get interesting!

-File this under “So this is a thing”: Build-A-Bear is getting Transformers themed bears. There’s an Optimus Prime bear and a Bumblebee bear. Yes, I already have the Bumblebee bear… don’t judge me! They also have costumes for any bears you may have already purchased previously, along with pajamas, a hoodie, slippers and a sleeping bag. Man, this summer is gonna be freaking expensive.

-File this under “So this happened”: a trophy hunter shot an elephant, then died when the animal fell on him. Yeah, I’ve got nothing.

-Somebody done lost his damn mind: According to Fabio, the women-folk need to start packin’ cause Cali gonna release the rapists. Like, all the rapists. All of ’em. YEAH. My brain just broke typing that.

-Tomorrow, Prime and I will go to our first Brewers game of the season. I can’t wait to get to Miller Park, grab a pin or two, have a frozen margarita and scream for my guys.

-Early reviews are in and Wonder Woman is one of DC’s best films, it seems. Like I said, this summer is gonna be expensive.

-Prime insisted that I read–or at least listen to him read–one of the IDW Transformers annuals. Yeah, I’m beyond irritated now: Remember how we thought Bumblebee was dead because of the singularity that swallowed Crystal City and the whole getting shot by Shockwave? Yeah, HE’S NOT. HE’S FUCKING ALIVE AND TRAPPED IN THE SINGULARITY. Oh and he’s chatting with Starscream, so that whole bit isn’t Screamer’s imagination. Ever since then, I’ve had Boulevard of Broken Dreams stuck in my head because it seems to fit what’s going on. And I’m insanely pissed at IDW-verse Optimus Prime; he pretty much told Megatron to leave Bee’s body when this went down. Huh, MAYBE MEGS HAD THE RIGHT DAMNED IDEA FOR ONCE; DID YOU EVEN THINK OF THAT, OPTIMUS…?! /end rant

-The weather has been completely nuts lately. Last week, we hit the low eighties and two days later, we struggled to reach the freaking fifties. Can someone please tell Cobra Commander to knock it off with the Weather Dominator? I’d appreciate that.

And that just about does it for this time. Tune in again when I decide to pitch a few words together and see if a semi-coherent post will form. Until next time!

About Silverwynde

I'm a Transformers fan, Pokémon player, Brewers fan and all-out general nerd. I rescue abandoned Golett, collect as many Bumblebee decoys and figures as I can find and I've attended every BotCon--official and non--since 1999. I'm also happily married to a fellow Transfan named Prime and we were both owned by a very intelligent half-Siamese cat, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 16, 2018. We still miss him. But we're now the acting staff of a Maine Coon kitty named Lulu, who pretty much rules the house. Not that we're complaining about that.

The future of data science jobs

Data scientists are one of the most sought-after roles in corporate America today, as organizations with the right talents can derive more value from their data.

However, the roles of data scientists are changing due to technological innovation and market maturity. In fact, the titles of statistician, actuary and quant, depending on the industry, preceded the title of data scientist.

However, there are challenges when it comes to determining how the role of the data scientist evolves. On the one hand, there are no clear requirements for the position of data scientist.

What is data science?

Data science, as defined by industry professionals today, is the study and use of data to inform business decisions and create new products for customers. Data scientists are typically responsible for analyzing data to find new information. They often use advanced machine learning models to predict future customer or market behavior based on past trends.

The ultimate goal of what companies hope to get from data scientists shouldn’t change. But the way data scientists achieve these goals is likely to undergo substantial changes in the years to come.

How data scientists and data engineers compare

Diplomas and Qualifications for Data Scientists

Many senior data scientists typically have advanced degrees in math or statistics and are proficient in problem solving. Others have a background in computer science, astrophysics or other subjects.

“Do I believe data scientists need to have these specific degrees? No, absolutely not,” said Kathleen Featheringham, director of artificial intelligence strategy and training at the management consulting firm and in computer technology Booz Allen Hamilton. “There have been a lot of definitions, but inherently someone who is curious.”

Like any other role, a data scientist can evolve into something else, and there are a few metrics that will happen.

[The data scientist title] will probably disappear in the background.
Kathleen featheringhamDirector of AI Strategy and Training, Booz Allen Hamilton

Does data science have a future?

Experts said that 80% or more of a data scientist’s job is to prepare the data for analysis. Now, technology vendors are selling platforms that automate tasks and abstract data in low-code or no-code environments, potentially eliminating much of the work currently done by data scientists.

“[The data scientist title] is probably going to disappear in the background because more and more tools are more and more prevalent, “said Featheringham.” To me it’s like designing websites years ago when you had to have people who really love code, but now you can go online and use a build your website for you. “

How will quantum computing impact data science jobs?

Quantum computing and quantum information science are still in their infancy, but they represent a new market for data scientists.

“If you do a calculation on a classical computer and you have a bunch of initial inputs, you have to run them one by one. On a quantum computer, you can run them all at the same time,” said Patty Lee, a scientist in data manager at Honeywell Quantum Solutions.

“You can’t just take a classical computational algorithm and plug it into a quantum computer. You have to come up with new algorithms that take advantage of the properties of quantum mechanics, and then you can extract the information from your data that way, ”she mentioned.

Quantum data scientists need to understand quantum mechanics and how to use a quantum algorithm to solve a particular problem. However, Lee doesn’t think they necessarily need a graduate degree in the subject.

“We need a lot of people in this space because there are people on the business applications side and quantum theorists who are familiar with quantum algorithms. We need someone in the middle to do the translation.” , Lee said.

Data Scientist vs Data Engineer Jobs

In today’s world, a business is better off having the right mix of skills rather than the right mix of titles.

Yet titles help individuals and others understand the scope of their responsibilities and their salary range. Even people who have achieved the coveted title of Data Scientist can move on to another role because it suits them better or because their business needs something else.

While a data engineer is more likely to become a data scientist in the United States, the opposite trend is occurring in the United Kingdom, according to Rob Weston, founder of Heimdal Satellite Technologies.

“They’re expected to run only on machine learning, which they absolutely don’t. How to prepare the data? How will the data be transferred to the pipeline? ” Weston said. “The challenge is that the volume and diversity of data change and therefore the ability to manage and move data is an engineering problem.”

Many organizations think they need a data scientist, but that may not be the case. Recruitment company ManpowerGroup is aware of this phenomenon, so they first ask clients what business problem they are trying to solve.

“A lot of people hear buzzwords and they want those buzzwords, but it’s not really what they need,” said Chuck Kincaid, senior data scientist and product architect at Experis Solutions, an affiliate. by ManpowerGroup.

Kincaid said one of his biggest concerns now is applicants listing software tools on their CVs that they don’t know how to use properly. Likewise, he warns against candidates who try to fully appropriate the merit of a group project.

Basic Qualifications for Data Scientists

The Data Science Association, a nonprofit trade association of data scientists, wants to set standards for certifications and licensing in data science. From a career perspective, this would mean that data scientists would have to meet predefined criteria to apply for a license and anyone who is not a licensed professional could not use the title legally.

Weston makes a point of verifying a candidate’s qualifications and is often disappointed. For example, if he gives a candidate a hypothetical scenario, the “49 out of 50” candidates will say that they have never worked in the industry in which the hypothetical scenario takes place, rather than demonstrating their prowess to solve. problems and offer an answer.

“I recently interviewed a guy who had a massive CV that said data science, big data and a lot of roles in all the fields that we are looking for. We need very sophisticated analytics because we are dealing with petabyte order data. Said Weston. “I said,” We use Python for most of our code. How can we use Python in EMR Spark? What libraries could we use? “He couldn’t answer the question and had never even heard of PySpark. That’s a legitimate question since his CV indicated three years of experience in this field.”

Ultimately, the role of the data scientist is changing, although exactly how it changes is a matter of debate. Automation speeds up and simplifies some tasks, but it does not yet automate data scientists. Meanwhile, other opportunities are emerging, such as quantum data science.

Will the role of data scientist end up disappearing? Some believe it will. However, in the meantime, there are plenty of opportunities for those who have mastered their craft.

Paul Fehlinger is the Co-Founder and Deputy Director of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network[1].

Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network

The Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network addresses the tension between the cross-border nature of the internet and national jurisdictions. Its Paris-based Secretariat facilitates a global multistakeholder process to enable transnational cooperation. Participants in the Policy Network work together to preserve the cross-border nature of the Internet, protect human rights, fight abuses, and enable the global digital economy. Since 2012, the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network has engaged more than 200 key entities from six stakeholder groups around the world.

Responding to the pressing needs of the global community, the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network enables the development of policy standards and shared cooperation frameworks that are as transnational as the internet itself in order to promote legal interoperability and establish due process across borders. The work of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network is currently structured around three thematic programs: Data, Content, and Domains.

Through the Global Conference, as well as regional and thematic meetings, its Secretariat facilitates a neutral dialogue process to build trust among the different actors and help them develop the operational solutions necessary for the coexistence of diverse laws on the cross-border Internet. The first Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network was organized in November 2016 in partnership with France, the second Global Conference in February 2018 in partnership with Canada[2]. The third Global Conference will take place in June 2019 in partnership with Germany. The Global Conferences are institutionally supported by the OECD, UNESCO, Council of Europe, European Commission, and ICANN.

Global Internet Governance

A frequent speaker in international fora, Paul Fehlinger was a panelist, presenter or moderator at venues such as at the United Nations[3], EuroDIG[4], OECD[5], the Council of Europe[6], the G7 Cyber Group[7], or the WTO[8]. He was appointed to the Advisory Network of the Global Commission on Internet Governance chaired by Carl Bildt[9] and to the Working Group on the Rule of Law of the Freedom Online Coalition[10]. Paul was also a participant in the Committee of experts on cross-border flow of Internet traffic and Internet freedom at the Council of Europe[11] and in the World Economic Forum's Future of the Internet Initiative.

His comments on the future of the global Internet and digital economy were featured in The Economist[12], Fortune[13], Slate[14], POLITICO[15], the Swiss Neue Züricher Zeitung[16], the German Die Zeit[17], Internet Policy Review[18], Deutschlandfunk[19], and by the Council on Foreign Relations[20], as well as by the Freedom Online Coalition[21], among others. POLITICO wrote that "Paul Fehlinger isn’t a household name like Mark Zuckerberg. But the Paris-based policy wonk has an ambition that’s just as big and far-reaching as the Facebook chief’s digital empire: fixing the internet."[22]

Paul specialized in Internet politics and new modes of global governance at Sciences Po Paris (Master in International Relations) and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies. He was a scholar of the German National Merit Foundation (Studienstiftung). Paul also holds a BA in European Studies from Maastricht University and a degree in French Studies from the Sorbonne. [1]

Paul speaks English, French and German.[1]

Ultima Thule for the Refugees

Migrants wait to disembark from the Royal Navy ship Protector in the harbor of the Italian southern island of Lampedusa, Italy, Sunday, June 7, 2015.
Migrants wait to disembark from the Royal Navy ship Protector in the harbor of the Italian southern island of Lampedusa, Italy, Sunday, June 7, 2015.

The European Union does not control all the variables for resolving the refugee problem, which makes this crisis unique.

This summer’s refugee debate is like a bucket of ice-cold water for Estonian society. Looking at the local media, one might think that we are the tiny island of Lampedusa, where hundreds and hundreds of immigrants come ashore daily. Propositions are flying around about banning the burka and there is serious discussion about the growing threat from terrorism, problems arising from polygamy and the distribution of large numbers of refugees. Estonia is presented almost as a major colonial power with countless former colonies, whose inhabitants are now trying to get to their motherland by the thousand.
The numbers, of course, tell a different story. There were 285 illegal crossings over the Estonian border last year and a total of 147 applications for asylum were lodged here. In the same period there were a total of 283,532 illegal border crossings and 626,000 applications for asylum lodged in the European Union as a whole. By the end of this year the Police and Border Guard Board anticipates an all-time record number of applicants—230. This number is supplemented by a promise to take in 170 additional refugees in the two subsequent years to help Italy and Greece. Altogether, this is equal to the number of refugees that landed on the island of Lesvos in a single day a few weeks ago.
The only country contributing less to resolving the crisis than Estonia is Malta, but the number of people arriving there is many times larger. It is therefore clear that there will be no masses coming to Estonia today or tomorrow. We are not a popular destination, because we do not have a suitable community or linguistic context. For the refugees, Estonia is Ultima Thule, an island at the end of the world. As President Lennart Meri once said, “Estonia is almost an island and most definitely a peninsula, which is why migrations of people have never reached Estonia and have left us alone with our nature, our flat land, our Ice Age boulder fields, our big trees and springs for the last 130 centuries”.
So why this furore and fluster all of a sudden? First, because immigration is a topic easily spun into many stories, attracting many newspaper readers in a short period of time and making it possible to mobilise a large proportion of voters by emphasising nationalist feelings. It is sweet nectar to all those who do not have to take responsibility for any political choices and can say anything that crosses their mind. There is no doubt that the whole topic in Estonia is blown out of proportion precisely for political reasons. And there are plenty of similar role models in Europe today—the Finns Party, UKIP, Jobbik, the Front National and others. Anti-immigration messages provide an easy ride to high politics, but it gets more complicated thenceforth. Take for example the Finns Party, whose members have become significantly more restrained since joining the Finnish Parliament—one could almost say they have buttoned their lips. Reaching a position of leadership usually means becoming aware of the sad truth that the hands of politicians are tied and the only choice is between a poor scenario, a bad one and a really bad one.
The second important reason for frustration is the unpleasant realisation that we cannot cut ourselves off from the rest of the world, and that its consequences will reach our homes too. And what is more, they arrive here in the form of actual people made of flesh and bone who look different from us and have a different cultural background. Interestingly enough, we were not brought to this realisation by the opening of borders after the Soviet occupation, but instead by the quota proposal made by the European Commission this spring. The fact that the migrants have somehow been distributed across Europe for the last couple of decades did not attract any significant interest at that point. The announced 1,064 refugees gave the Estonian public a proper scare. And although our prime ministers have handled the situation in a way that excludes the imposition of obligations upon us by third parties, the discomforting feeling had already arrived that in a borderless Europe one has to accept responsibility as well as receiving the common benefits.

The crisis continues

Even though heated debates have taken place in Brussels, quotas distributed and declarations made, the situation in the Mediterranean is far from satisfactory. The number of migrants is setting new records and there is potential for significantly higher numbers still to come. As a reminder, the slow-burning crisis reached its high point on 19 April this year, when a ship carrying 900 refugees sank near the island of Lampedusa. There were children among the drowned and only 28 people survived, including the traffickers. The International Organization for Migration predicted at the beginning of May that, at this rate, more than 30,000 people will have drowned in the Mediterranean by the end of the year. The crisis thus reached its peak, followed by an extraordinary meeting of European heads of government and proposals from the European Commission for resolving the crisis, including the imposition of quotas.
Three months later, a large number of rescue boats have been sent to the Mediterranean and one of the biggest joint operations by the border guard in recent history, Triton, has been launched. Warships and volunteers are active at sea, as well. Refugees are also picked up by ordinary cargo ships and fishing vessels. The number of incidents remains high and rescue operations have shifted more and more towards the immediate proximity of Libyan territorial waters. The number of people rescued at sea has risen and the number drowned has decreased significantly, but there are reports of serious incidents every week. On 6 August the Italian Coastguard reported that it had saved 399 people from a sinking ship, but that there had probably been up to 600 people aboard. Just over 67,000 refugees have come to Europe from the central Mediterranean during the first half of this year, significantly less than was feared and almost as many as the previous year.
Trafficking people across the sea is big business and those who operate it are well informed of events in Europe. Since June, refugees of Eritrean origin have been the most numerous among those arriving in Italy. One can assume that a large proportion of the asylum applicants presenting themselves as Eritreans only do so because it gives them a better chance of receiving protection. The number of women and children has also risen, although most arriving refugees are still young men. Traffickers have also modified their modus operandi in the knowledge that there are vessels at sea that pick up the refugees even before they reach the Libyan search and rescue area. Thus they use less fuel, the ride is shorter and the risks are lower.
Refugees often wait weeks for transport in dark bunkers built close to the coast, and the vessels are then packed to the brim with people. They are not allowed to move during the journey, which lasts for hours, because it is likely that the vessel will capsize. When a patrol vessel is near, an emergency signal is sent out and the migrants’ boat is often sunk. There have also been cases of people being kept in the hold for better balance, with doors locked or welded shut. The captain is usually one of the refugees who has been given a crash course in navigation. Everything has a monetary value—food, drink, cabins, rescue equipment, and living conditions, including making a lone woman or a little girl spend weeks in a dark bunker with strange men. People are capable of doing awful things to get money—it is a life that one would not even wish on an enemy.

The centre of gravity is shifting towards the Turkish border again

According to the EU border management agency FRONTEX, in the first half of this year more than 225,000 illegal entries were registered in Europe, twice as many as during the same period in 2014. More migrants arrive from the eastern Mediterranean than from the Libya-to-Italy route—over 79,000 in total. But this more than fivefold rise is only the tip of the iceberg considering that, according to UNHCR, there are 1.7 million refugees in Turkey. Today, 217,000 of these live in underfunded tented camps. It is more than clear that the number of refugees heading towards Europe will only rise as the conflicts continue.
And, once again, it seems that Greece is putting the mutual trust and patience of other European countries to the test. In the midst of the last big immigration crisis, the European Court of Human Rights halted the enforced return of asylum applicants to Greece, because the country was unable to ensure a treatment of applicants that would correspond to the standards laid down by the European Convention on Human Rights. In other words, the Court found that a European country was not able to ensure the protection of fundamental rights and was thus not a safe place for asylum applicants. This decision crippled the functioning of the whole Common European Asylum System for many years.
At that time, 90% of all illegal border crossings into the Schengen Area took place on the Greek–Turkish border. And from Greece they kept moving forward towards the rest of Europe. There were thousands of immigrants, just like today. In recent months, more than 67,000 refugees have arrived on Hungary’s border from Greece through the western Balkans. And the corridors of Brussels are once again abuzz with discussions of whether and how a member state should be thrown out of Schengen when it fails to meet the conditions.
It is easy to condemn the Greeks or Hungarians, but let’s try to put ourselves in their shoes for a moment. What would Estonia do if we received tens of thousands of immigrants at once? Would we greet them with open arms, register them, accommodate them, fingerprint them, and with that take on the responsibility of continuing to take care of them? Or would we just let things run their course and hope they leave at the first chance they get?
Secondary movements are one of the main causes of concern for wealthier western European countries. Both Bulgaria and Romania have been left out of the Schengen Area precisely because the opening up of new immigration channels from Turkey and loss of control over secondary movements are feared. This train of thought helps to shed some light upon today’s situation, where a number of northern European countries demand from Italy and Greece the proper registration and fingerprinting of refugees.
Another step forward, which also helps us to understand why Germany, the Netherlands, France and many other member states were all of a sudden willing to change their mind and agree to the redistribution of refugees. Solidarity played an important role, but it was also logical to assume that the refugees who arrive will continue moving forward and will do so illegally, uncontrolled and without papers. It is better to take the path of voluntarily admitting a certain number of immigrants, receiving money from EU coffers and, in exchange, demanding that the border countries put things in order. This is how it went; there have been some complaints but there is also hope that things will eventually work out. Estonia decided on a modest and rather symbolic, but also necessary, contribution.

Are the borders not holding up?

During every crisis, the first thing ministers of the interior do is promise to strengthen surveillance on external borders. It is a reassuring message to voters, because the initial impression is always that there is a huge gap somewhere that could be blocked. In the last decade, major investments have been made in border security and, as a result, Europe’s borders are now more closely guarded than ever before. According to FRONTEX, the border guard technology of the Mediterranean countries could cover the whole area twice over. Every year, tens of millions of euro are spent on joint operations, and many pan-European rapid reaction units (RABIT), a joint border monitoring system (EUROSUR) and a register of joint instruments (CRATE) have been launched.
The problem thus does not lie in inadequate surveillance of borders. Where there is a will, there is nowadays a way to capture most of the illegal border-crossers. The problem really lies in the fact that there is nothing to be done with the detainees. No one wants to take these people in and there are not enough detention facilities to accommodate them all. In 2014, a total of 441,780 illegal immigrants were registered in Europe and 252,003 removal orders were issued, but only 161,309 people were expelled. Expulsion is a very complicated and expensive process. It requires a whole army of officials and great expense to find out the origin of the person, to draw up papers, to reach agreement over the expulsion with the receiving state and, finally, to escort the person back by plane, along with accompanying officials.
Just as with border surveillance, it is effective cooperation (or lack thereof) that influences expulsions the most. If cooperation is good, like that between Spain and Morocco, it is already very difficult for immigrants to reach the EU border, and the figures for illegal border crossings are modest. But if the cooperation is halting, like that between Libya and Italy or Greece and Turkey today, it results in a huge number of immigrants and almost an impossibility of sending anyone back.
In practice, things are not always so simple that a person who crosses the Turkish border can be sent back to Turkey straightaway. If the Turks do not agree to accept the person, a long and complicated dispute begins involving the provision of evidence and so on. And why should the Turks even be motivated to help, when the person is not a citizen of Turkey and has also passed through their country illegally? They have bigger problems, for example the 1.7 million refugees.
That is why the most important challenge for Europe is not border surveillance, but rather the development of an effective expulsion policy. Europe has taken the path of sugar daddy. Neighbours are being offered money and visa waivers to guard their borders more closely and to take back their own citizens as well as people from the developing world as quickly as possible. For example, the price of the readmission agreement between the EU and Russia was the waiver of visas for holders of Russian diplomatic passports, which was difficult for the Estonian security forces to swallow.
To date, readmission agreements have been established with all the countries on the eastern border and also with many countries on the northern shore of the Mediterranean and more remote countries of origin (e.g. Tunisia, Pakistan). Some progress has also been made concerning expulsions, but the whole process remains complicated and expensive. And often it is not enough that something has been written down in a contract somewhere. For example, Article 13 of the Cotonou Agreement creates obligations for the readmission of persons to African countries, but its implementation depends on individual countries and the agreements established with each of them—to be more exact, on money and relations.

Pay more attention to the reasons for coming here

Another big challenge is to establish an effective asylum policy and legal immigration policy in Europe. Today’s Europe faces the simultaneous problems of underemployment and a shortage of workers. There is a visible demand for immigrant workers and also a large number of people who would like to come and work in Europe. Although the supply and demand will certainly not completely coincide, all immigration experts agree that demand in Europe has a significant effect on immigration flows heading here. In the depth of the economic crisis in 2009, the number of illegal crossings of European borders decreased by more than 30% and the number of illegal immigrants by more than 20%. There was no point in moving to Europe, as there were no jobs here.
The problem lies in the fact that legal immigration to Europe is currently complicated, if not impossible. The rules are fragmented and member states (with a few exceptions) have moved towards a policy that ignores the needs of the labour market. As a result, people come here illegally, for example taking advantage of the asylum system. While every asylum application must be processed, it is a convenient way of getting one’s foot in the door via illegal entry. The statistics show that less than half of asylum applicants will end up receiving protection. The number of abuses is thus huge, grows every year and will overshadow all those people who are actually trying to escape the horrors of war.
The European Commission has promised to try to reduce the number of abuses and make some changes in its procedures, which were recommended for consideration by Estonia a few years ago—for example, using selected secure countries in an urgent procedure that would enable, among other things, the rapid rejection of thousands of groundless applications. For a small country like Estonia, it would also be extremely useful to expand the number of services provided by the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), which would enable expertise from different countries to be used and accelerate procedures and reduce costs through the cross-use of interpreters. Can Europe handle the crisis? Over the last 60 years, Europe has faced one crisis after another, grown stronger as a result of the experience and corrected its mistakes. But the immigration crisis is unique, because a large number of variables are outside the control of the governments of member states. In order to handle the crisis succesfully, a lot of groundwork needs to be done—to reinforce the current expulsion policy, to ensure that the needs of the labour market are taken into consideration more when issuing residence and work permits, and to make the current asylum policy more effective.
On the other hand, many aspects of handling the crisis depend on an active EU foreign policy and the overall situation in international relations. For example, will bringing Iran out of its isolation help to achieve stability in the Middle East, how will the African Union handle local conflicts, and how will things work out in Ukraine, Afghanistan and elsewhere?
More than anything, today’s Europe needs greater mutual trust between the governments of member states and, with that, also a sense of standing for common values. Without this, Europe will be weak in its internal and foreign policies and will head towards decline. And therein lies the reason the Estonian government decided to take part voluntarily in efforts to resolve the Mediterranean crisis, which may acquire a completely new and symbolic significance after a couple of decades.

ComicsPRO has begun to reveal info for Local Comic Shop Day, the annual event celebrating comic stores, and there are some changes from previous years.  This year, the event has been moved from the weekend before Thanksgiving (as it was last year, see "First Local Comic Shop Day Items Announced") to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  "The organizers decided that since Wednesday is traditionally the day that new comics come out, that should be part of the celebration," according to the ComicsPRO statement.

Another change is that stores will no longer have to register to participate.  In 2019 and before, retailers had to register with ComicsPRO in order to participate.

And a third change is that Diamond Comic Distributors is no longer the sole source for Local Comic Shop Day products.  DC will ship its products through UCS Comic Distributors and Lunar Distribution, and Z2 Comics has elected to self-distribute.

Here are the products that have been announced:

Marvel Comics will release a Henrichon Variant for X of Swords Destruction #1.

DC will release a Silver Metallic Ink variant of Other History of the DC Universe #1.

Dark Horse Comics will release The Witcher: Fading Memories #1.

BOOM! Studios will release foil variants of Something Is Killing the Children #1, Power Rangers #1, Mighty Morphin #1, Lumberjanes #75, and Dune House Atreides #2.

Z2 Comics is offering a graphic novel previously only available through Kickstarter directly to comic stores for Local Comic Shop Day.   True War Stories, a 260-page anthology of 15 real war stories shared by those who lived them, was assembled by Alex de Campi and co-edited by Iraq War veteran Khai Kumbaar.  It was offered on Kickstarter earlier this year, and raised $32,137 from 841 backers.  The offer from Z2 is at 50% off, shipped directly by Z2 to the retailer, on a 90-day consignment.

Biography of Bertram W. Tefft

The thrifty farmer and stockman, who is mentioned at the head of this article, is one of the builders of the reservation country, having taken his present home place about two miles northwest from Morrow at the opening of the section to settlement.

Our subject received an academic education, and when nineteen came to Nez Perces County and settled on unsurveyed land and proved up later. He took his present place at the opening of the reservation and has now a fine six room residence, a first class barn, and other improvements to match. He was here when there were but four votes cast in his precinct, thus being a real pioneer in this section. On this prairie, on June 22, 1892, Mr. Tefft married Miss Catherine, daughter of Lemuel and Sarah A. Hendrickson, who came to Oregon in 1843. Mrs. Tefft’s uncle, Milton Doan, was the first white child born in Multnomah County. Her father died in the Potlatch country in 1887 and her mother died May 16, 1 90 1.

We Demand Reparations & 100% Equity

We, the African-American Black Man and Black Woman are the people with the lived, painful experiences expressed on the pages of most major and minor news media every day, and yes, it hurts. The lived experiences that have been dropped done on our souls were not of our choosing.

Collectively, Black People continue to live in an America rapped with the ropes of what the honorable Dr. Joy Degruy refer to as ” Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome,” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGjSday7f_8) and again, it hurts.

To understand just a piece of Black People’s pain, please listen to Coach Doc Rivers’ statement, “we love America but America doesn’t love us back.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3pHYsVtoEI).

When Black People want to give themselves uplifting, we often say, “We are still here (not murdered), or We are still standing, (able to stand on our own two feet;”) however, we are no longer willing for the bar to be set that low. It is 2021, and if not now, when will Black people be respected for 100% of our Womanhood and Manhood? 100% equity. Now is that time. Thank You. More To Come
