In I Am Not Starfire, Mandy Anders, the teenage daughter of superhero single mom Starfire, is pretty damn relatable.This is a special advertising section. I Am Not Starfire Aditya Bidikar (letters), Mariko Tamaki (writing), Yoshi Yoshitani (art) Not the “daughter of a superhero” part, but everything else. Mandy has grown up in the shadow of her luminescent mom, Starfire. Starfire is a beautiful and kind hero, strong and compassionate, enormous and famous. She and her fellow Titans save the Earth, like, a lot. Mandy, on the other hand, is a chubby goth underachiever with no superpowers and not much social clout. Mandy assumes they have nothing in common and that her mom could never understand her. Mandy’s childhood was shaped by her mom’s fame as much as her mom’s personality. Starfire is constantly sought by fans who frankly discuss her looks and her fashion choices (bikinis) as well as her activities with the Titans. Mandy also remembers from her childhood how much her mom seemed to be looking out for her powers to manifest. Mandy is therefore convinced that anyone who seems interested in her is only interested in her mom and that her mom is disappointed in her. The extreme lengths required to show Mandy that neither is true shape the plot of I Am Not Starfire, in a somewhat predictable but also entirely satisfying way. Mariko Tamaki is treating a more well-worn story here than she was in Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, my reigning favorite DC title by Tamaki. Mandy is a teenager who learns to value herself and realizes she is loved by her hard working immigrant mom. That’s a character arc I’ve certainly seen in YA before, but new iterations are always welcome, and I Am Not Starfire feels fresh and fun. Yoshi Yoshitani’s beautiful art is a joy, and certainly part of what makes the book succeed. The character designs are distinct and iconic, while still offering an excellent range of facial and physical expressions. The settings are nuanced enough to feel real without being distracting. Any page from this book could be blown up and framed as pop art. With the range of physical depictions of characters, I appreciated that Starfire and Mandy both have friends and family. We see Mandy texting her BFF constantly, crushing on a beautiful classmate, and avoiding the snide snobs unfortunately present at every high school. Less expectedly, perhaps, we also see glimpses of Starfire interacting with the other Titans in ways that convey how much they rely on each other. Seeing an adult’s functional support system is refreshing in a YA graphic novel. Unlike many parents in YA, Starfire feels like a fully realized character. ![]() To Mandy, she can seem larger than life, relentlessly positive and unavoidably alien, but she has her own issues she’s dealing with, depicted deftly by Tamaki and Yoshitani. I’m sure it is partly because I yearn for more mom superhero narratives, but I finished I Am Not Starfire wanting a companion book that shows this same plot from Starfire’s point of view. Highlighting functional teen friendships has been a strength of DC’s YA offerings in the past few years, such as in the Beast Boy and Raven graphic novels, and I hope it stays a focus for the imprint. In I Am Not Starfire, Mandy absolutely lives up to our expectations.From New York Times bestselling author Mariko Tamaki (Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) and artist Yoshi Yoshitani (Zatanna and the House of Secrets) comes a story about Mandy, the daughter of super-famous superhero Starfire, and her desperate attempts to get out from under her shadow. Seventeen-year-old Mandy Koriand'r is not her mother.

How Do You Customize the Conversation View ![]() MYOB says that it now requires AccountEdge users to authenticate the program on a yearly basis, to prove they are legitimate owners. However, a change in the way MYOB expects you to register the application may alienate some people. Minor tweaks to other aspects of the program give users greater report customization, better security in a multiuser setting, and a vastly improved user manual. You can also customize field location, size, and fonts. MYOB has also significantly improved AccountEdge’s form-customization capabilities, which now let you insert a variety of image formats and add new fields to any of the program’s forms. You can now create users to whom you assign individual passwords, and then you can customize their access to the program on a feature-by-feature or even a screen-by-screen basis. MYOB has made significant changes to AccountEdge’s security features. In the past, the program implemented user access poorly, making it difficult to restrict individual users to specific information. These are roughly analogous to the fees that businesses routinely pay financial institutions for electronic transfers and credit card transactions.Įarlier versions of AccountEdge allowed you to create groups of users according to job classifications such as accounting or sales the new version does that and lets you create individual users. Both features require that you pay monthly and transactional fees to MYOB. AccountEdge also includes a new integrated direct-deposit feature that allows you to make electronic funds transfers (EFTs) to vendors and process payroll without having to write, print, or sign any checks. Once you’ve set up your customers to use a credit card, AccountEdge retains their information, so processing future transactions is easy. A new MYOB Merchant Account Service allows you to process credit card transactions from within AccountEdge. AccountEdge’s updates facilitate the processing of electronic banking transactions. But several new features will enhance the way you do business with customers and vendors, and will make it easier to process employee payroll. If you’ve used previous versions of MYOB’s AccountEdge, you won’t notice many differences in this version’s functionality or interface. ![]() None of these features will make you stand up and shout, but they are significant improvements over version 5. QuickBooks’ other new features include one-click export of reports to Excel spreadsheets (another boon for cross-platform file sharers), better customization of the program’s toolbars, automatic file backups, and the ability to check for software updates from within the program. This option requires that the recipient on the Windows side treat the Mac data file as a QBW backup file and “restore” the data. Getting data files to a QBW user still isn’t as easy as giving the person your Mac data file - the procedure with AccountEdge, MultiLedger, and MoneyWorks - although Intuit has made the process clearer by adding a Create A File For QuickBooks For Windows option to the File menu. In fact, its most significant new feature is its ability to open QBW data files, so users can finally transfer data both ways. QuickBooks is now much better at sharing data files with QuickBooks for Windows (QBW). QuickBooks remains intuitive and easy to use, making business accounting as easy as entering checks in the register of your personal checkbook. While these are welcome and necessary, I wish it offered more. ![]() Version 6.0 sports only a few new features and minor improvements. Unfortunately, one year later, not much has changed. ![]() QuickBooks Pro 5.0 last year ( April 2003), the program was not much different from the product Intuit had dropped from production in 1997, and it was significantly less impressive than its Windows counterpart. When I reviewed Intuit’s business accounting package Two of the usual suspects, AccountEdge and QuickBooks, as well as MoneyWorks, are excellent solutions for users with demanding accounting needs, while the inexpensive and aptly named TinyBooks provides good tools for tracking basic income and expenses. And they all offer text or graphical reports. All of them feature an array of accounting tools suitable for a variety of business needs, from basic income and expense tracking to payroll management. I looked at five accounting packages: CheckMark Software’s MultiLedger 6.0.7, Cognito Software’s MoneyWorks Gold 4.0.9, Intuit’s QuickBooks Pro 6.0, MYOB’s AccountEdge 2004, and Space-Time Associates’ TinyBooks 1.1.4. But at the end of the day, you want a package that tracks income and expenses, and that gives you some insight into the past, current, and future state of your business - all with a minimum of hassle. Depending on the kind of business you have, your accounting requirements may run the gamut from extraordinarily simple to unbearably complex. ![]() ![]() Introductory articles on biblical theology including the History of Biblical Theology, Challenges to Biblical Theology, The New Testament Use of the Old Testament, Systematic Theology and Biblical Theology, and Preaching and Biblical Theology, among others.This comprehensive volume is divided in three parts: Laying the Foundation, Attention to Each Book of the Bible, and Tracing Specific Themes Understanding biblical theology is vital to interpreting the Bible and doing any type of theology it helps us take the Bible on its own terms. If you’ve ever wondered why Christians can disregard Levitical laws about eating shellfish and wearing mixed cloths, but cannot disregard Old Testament laws dealing with sexual ethics, biblical theology will set you straight. Or as Peter Adam so clearly states, “Only biblical theology can save us from misusing the Bible, as we read each text in the context of the progressive revelation of God’s saving work in Christ” (108). Or, to put it more simply, how each part of the Bible fits into the Bible’s overall message of God glorifying Himself in salvation through judgment (to use James Hamilton’s lingo). Only in this way do we take proper account of the fact that God has spoken to us in Scripture” (3). It seeks to understand the parts in relation to the whole and, to achieve this, it must work with the mutual interaction of the literary, historical, and theological dimensions of various corpora, and with the interrelationships of these within the whole canon of Scripture. “Biblical theology is principally concerned with the overall theological message of the whole Bible. ![]() If the thought of reading from a dictionary sounds like torture to you, let me assure you there is at least one dictionary that all serious Bible students (and especially teachers) should consider for their personal library.īefore I get into why The New Dictionary of Biblical Theology: Exploring the Unity and Diversity of Scripture is such a helpful resource, let me first let Barry Rosner define what biblical theology is: My review of The New Dictionary of Biblical Theology from Intervarsity Press (Logos Bible Software Edition) Popverse reached out to Harshman for comment, but no response has been received at time of writing. My miscalculations and underestimations of what this book would cost in the long run has really screwed me up.” The statement continues as Hershman mentions additional costs in terms of “insane taxes I’m paying out of pocket” and “the insane cost of printing and shipping” - which add up to somewhere in the region of $11,000 - before repeating, “the book will be made and the promises will be delivered upon, unfortunately at this time I don’t have an ETA.” ![]() I am not going to paint a sob story or anything but I will share the truth of the matter. Between the billions of delays and my lack of communication, I have let all of you down. On July 6, Harshman updated again, promising, “I will be starting the printing process within the next couple days.” On July 22, he posted that he was waiting for the print proof, and then, nothing… until October 30, when Harshman posted the following: By October, Harshman was updating backers, “I’ll be completely honest, I 100% underestimated the time needed and that’s my bad.” Three months later, he was sharing that he’d “had to pump the brakes on while I got my life sorted.”īy early June 2022, the digital version of the book was completed and had been shared with backers. The July 2021 deadline proved to be optimistic, to say the least. ![]() The goal is to have the book off to printers by July. We gotta get this book made, printed, and into your hands. At the time, Harshman posted an update to the campaign page, writing, “Without the passion of the comics community, this anthology would not have gotten funded and I am incredibly humbled.” He continued, “We got a ton of work to do now. I'm relief that Maruwa Tarou hasn't done a whole lot of HTR route, though at times there does come out one for every maybe 3 to 5 vanilla stories.Unfortunately, there’s little novelty to the implosion of an independent publishing project funded on Kickstarter - but what makes Off Into The Sunset unusual is that the end of the anthology wasn’t the end of the story.Īs the name might suggest, Brentt Harshman’s Off Into The Sunset was announced as “a collection of stories inspired by Westerns.” Originally asking for $20,000, the campaign was fully funded mid-May 2021, eventually settling on a $22,085 haul from almost 600 backers by the time of the campaign’s end. We need more male protagonist in NTR stories who reverse the entire situation by actually having balls!!! Typical NTR male protagonist, too weak, and too scared. If this was a series itself, for an NTR story line, it would be great.Īlso, if the brother knew about this, he should of acted out and save his sister instead of letting her being a slave to the guy's dick while masturbating while she's getting rape and being taken over. Also, there's not enough depth for why the sister would immediately go for NTR (at least build up a story to either the brother no longer satisfying her or the teacher raping her to the point where his dick is better than her brothers). For a vanilla story ark, this is pretty much a weak move of turning a vanilla story into a NTR story (its also a prick move when authors do this). ![]() First, I'm not much of a NTR reader (I actually hate them imho), but even for an NTR story route, it feels somewhat, weak. Overall, this feels really poor in terms on its element and story. Okay, for an NTR story line, seems like the usual. The sister on the other hand, wants to be fuck in her pussy, and her teacher just rapes her, and immediately, because her brother never did "true" sex to the sister, the sister already becomes addicted to the teacher's dick. Because the brother didn't want to break the incest line while wanting to love his sister, he only did anal. “The DA’s Sex Crimes and Human Trafficking Division has a team of Deputy District Attorneys, District Attorney Investigators, and Victim Advocates who are trained on how to be trauma-informed when interacting with victims,” Tanya Sierra, assistant director of communications for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, said in a statement. ![]() At least two witnesses at the party allegedly heard the girl say she was 18, while others said they didn’t recall her age coming up. The district attorney’s office also was unable to prove that there was awareness of her age or her intoxication level. The woman, who was 17 at the time, reported the alleged rape the following day to the San Diego Police Department, which investigated the allegations for nine months before turning over its investigation to prosecutors on Aug. She said she went in and out of consciousness as the men assaulted her for about 90 minutes. The accuser alleged in the suit that Araiza, then 21, had sex with her in a side yard at an off-campus residence before bringing her into a bedroom where a group of men took turns raping her. The Bills released Araiza in August, just days after the woman filed her lawsuit. Pacific, according to video time stamps of the encounter.Īmador also told the woman that nobody outside of her office, including the witness who testified to Araiza’s departure from the party, knows about the specific time stamps of the videos recovered from the party. Amador said Araiza is “alleged to have left the party at 12:30” and was not “even at the party anymore” when the alleged rape occurred at 1:30 a.m. ![]() The purpose of the meeting was largely for Amador to explain why criminal charges could not be filed and answer questions after the San Diego Police Department concluded its investigation in August 2022.Īmador told the woman Araiza left the off-campus party about an hour before the time of the reported rape, according to a witness. The meeting was attended by San Diego deputy district attorney Trisha Amador and the woman, as well as the woman’s attorney, district attorney investigator Ted Mansour and a selected victim advocate. 7, 2022, meeting during which the details were discussed. The testimony was included in evidence that prompted the San Diego District Attorney to not press criminal charges against Araiza last year.ĮSPN obtained and reviewed audio from a Dec. SAN DIEGO – Former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza was not present when an alleged gang rape of a minor occurred at an October 2021 party in San Diego nor was he visible in videos recovered after the incident, which led to a police investigation and a lawsuit by the woman who said she was attacked, according to witness testimony. ![]() In fact, it truly is a complete guide the course begins with a discussion of importing images and doing proper file management, but it soon gets into topics such as facial recognition, keywording, and creating books.

Ashampoo Zip Free is a rare exception, with a clear interface and an optional touch mode with larger, tap-friendly icons.

I created the metadata tags for some albums I have located on an external HD usually attached to my Linux system, and was later glad to see the tags survive a journey to my Windows PC (the former has more RAM and the latter which is my movie server/streamer has a better sound quality). Note: To edit album art, right click on the picture or VLC icon in the bottom-right corner of the Media Information screen. Close the window and what you entered will be saved automatically. The steps to access and edit ID3 audio tags are quite simple, but here are the steps with screenshots: ![]() ![]() ![]() One quick perk of this information within VLC playlists is that it allows you to sort your MP3 files according to the ID3 tags helping you play the songs that you want in a certain order. The same feature can be seen in Windows Explorer as well. If you navigate to your playlist and view it as a detailed list, then all the metadata information is visible. For example: In VLC, you can see the “Artist – Song Title” data used in the title bar of the Player. It is used by different players in different ways. ID3 tags allow you to view different information about a song and it is primarily used by MP3 files exclusively. You can simply view or input your own values in the text fields of these corresponding metadata information. It brings up a simple pop up where you can view all the information like MP3 song title, artist, album, date, genre, track number, now playing, publisher, copyright, encoded by, comments and album art. The quickest way to view/edit it is by using the CTRL + I shortcut key on your PC or by navigating to Tools > Media Information. Maybe I'll try another program in hopes it's faster and I can avoid swapping the drives.If you want to view and edit ID3 audio or MP3 tags in VLC Media Player, then it has been really made simple. What I may do is remove the hard drive internal to the network drive, and connect it directly inside my PC. Either the program I'm using, or the fact it's going through a switch through the "network", takes long to list all the files in a directory and then renaming them seems to cause the program to freeze. Sadly, all my MP3s are on network drives. Some people make the file name so long that I've lost the file name when copying them over to a network drive or into a sub directory. Unfortunately not all ID3 tags have the track number, however, I've decided to change what I can to Artist - Track Number - Song Title. I would strip the garbage from them, change lowercase, and make the file name simply Artist - Song Title Recently I realized many discographies have live albums, and, when I play them on my computer, or want to sort them as they are on the CD, I can't because they no longer contain the track number. Some time ago, I used Magic File Renamer to rename the files. I can understand if an entire discography has file names of a specific format, but each directory is different. My gripe is the people who rip the CDs have horrible file naming convention. |
