Here's the run down – Trinity Special: World's Finest #1 – 6/10 Just a collected reprint of the Trinity Backups that have been in Wonder Woman recently. There's no difference. The Penguin #12 – I don't like this title at all, so I won't grade it. Doesn't seem fair. Plastic Man No More! #1 – 8.5/10 Lins, Edgar, and Maiolo make a really good team for this particular story, and Cantwell crafted a Plastic Man story that I am already hooked on, one issue in. The Boy Wonder #5 – 8.25/10 – What a great ending for the 5 issue series. The art isn't my usual preference and it took half an issue to get used to. But beside that, I truly enjoyed this series, and the ride it took Damian on. And the cool little spin that it put on We Are Robin, Damian edition. #DCAllIn #ComicsAreForEveryone #ComicsAreGreat #MakeComicsGreatAgain #AbsolutePower #DCComics #comics #comicbooks #GeekMatrix #TheGeekMatrix #TGM #GekkMatrixPod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegeekmatrixcomics/support

Silvia Iaccarino dialoga con Pino Maiolo autore di "Mio figlio tra bullismo e cyberbullismo. Vittima, bullo o complice?"https://amzn.to/3QTIqP5 Il volume rimanda a casi concreti ed esperienze di vita vissuta e – attraverso una serie di narrazioni e box – aiuta le famiglie a orientarsi nella complessità dei fenomeni di bullismo e cyberbullismo, ad affrontare le problematiche connesse e a sostenere il proprio figlio che ne sia vittima e/o a intervenire in modo adeguato qualora sia bullo o complice. È suddiviso in tre sezioni: Conoscere: descrive con taglio divulgativo origine le caratteristiche dei due fenomeni; Capire: inquadra le situazioni problematiche vissute dai ragazzi coinvolti in tali dinamiche e aiuta le famiglie a comprenderle alla luce delle conoscenze acquisite; Intervenire: fornisce suggerimenti e indicazioni operative su come e cosa fare per aiutare concretamente il proprio figlio, spiegando ai genitori come sostenerlo e come intervenire, se e quando rivolgersi alle autorità e chiedere il sostegno degli specialisti. È utile per: conoscere le problematiche legate ai fenomeni, sempre più diffusi, di bullismo e cyberbullismo, e sapere come intervenire se ne sono coinvolti i propri figli.
The Swordsman Hero approached the small child and knelt down beside her. She turned to look up to him, and handed him a small doll. It was crudely constructed, made from scraps of cloth with broken buttons for eyes. It appeared to be stuffed with various bits of grass and weeds. He handed it back to the girl, and she gently placed it upon a freshly disturbed plot of dirt. Looking around, the Swordsman Hero could see that the area was dotted with similar patches of dirt in various stages of regrowth. He didn't have to ask the child what this was - a small cemetery. There were no headstones or markers of any kind, only small dolls dotting each plot of dirt. There were at least a dozen of them, though the area was in enough disarray that it would be hard to know for sure. Thanks a ton to Robert for coming on the show!

¿Les parece difícil la programación de software? ¿Dificilísima? ¿Lo ven cómo una habilidad hipercompleja reservada solo para los ingenieros en computación? En los últimos años, el desarrollo de software se ha vuelto mucho más sencillo, gracias a herramientas como el Low Code, o “Poco Código”. A diferencia del lenguaje de programación tradicional, las plataformas de Low Code minimizan al extremo el uso de códigos complejos, lo que permite que personas sin habilidades en el desarrollo de software puedan diseñar aplicaciones ellas mismas. Precisamente, de Low Code, sus ventajas, y su potencial para el desarrollo del software en Uruguay discutimos hoy en una nueva edición de La Mesa TIC junto a: Aníbal Gonda consultor en informática, «evangelizador técnico» de GeneXus; Sofía Maiolo, ingeniera en computación, Customer Experience Manager en WorkWithPlus; Santiago Lowy, coordinador de ventas en Interamericana de Cómputos.
This episode is the first in our special mini-series, Access to Care. Many times on this program, we talk about the importance of therapy. However, we acknowledge that therapy is a privilege, and is not always accessible or affordable to those that need it most. I've invited some of my previous guests to talk about access to care: where to find affordable therapy, and the tools and resources that are available, should therapy not be accessible.Today we welcome back therapist Lisa Gajda. Lisa was a professional dancer for over 30 years, appearing in 18 Broadway shows. She specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma, performing artists, parenting and relational issues.Lisa and I discuss the importance of community and she offers some guidelines for artists who are interested in creating their own support groups, in addition to resources for low-cost therapy.
Another day of nonsense and some helpful pointers.

In this episode of the Build Hatch Podcast, we had the opportunity to hear from Dave Maiolo from Roda Developments In this episode we talk about: Dave grew up in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne born to Italian immigrant parents. He was surrounded by trades and always had aspirations to become a tradie. Straight out of school, Dave started his carpentry apprenticeship but it wasn't until 10 years later that he really found alignment in his values for the industry. Dave's experience as a carpenter and the natural progression into building when he stepped out with a friend to start his own business. Carpentry vs building and the process of attaining a building licence in Victoria. Being good at your craft vs the other side of business management. Knowing your contracts, staged payments and the numbers are all critical to a builder's success. How the name ‘Roda Developments' came about and the first renovation they completed, which led to the boom of their business. Every build and every contract is an opportunity to learn and develop. Dave is a problem solver – and always uses feedback from clients and staff to come up with solutions to move forward in business. A typical project for Roda Developments. Educational marketing and how this process works to bring in new clients. Design, yield and pricing. The challenge of 30% of all tenders coming to fruition and the work required to break ground on a site. Due-diligence within the construction industry and the changes Dave would like to see across the industry as a whole. The value in nurturing relationships between design and build with the client as this process can take up to two years. Outside of work, Dave is spoilt for choice when it comes to his free time and enjoys spending time with friends and family. The future for Roda Developments. The constant need to pivot in business and re-adjust, which has become evident for Dave post-Covid. A day in the life of Dave as the Director of Roda Developments. The law of attraction and trusting the team that you have built. Dave reflects on his business journey and the trust he has for his staff which, has become a core part of his business model. Sit back and enjoy this helpful interview with Dave Maiolo from Roda Developments. Links: Roda Developments Follow @roda_developments on Instagram Build Hatch Follow @buildhatch on Instagram

In Cry Havoc: How the Arms Race Drove the World to War, 1931-1941 (Basic Books, 2010), Joe Maiolo proposes (I want to write “demonstrates,” but please read the book and judge for yourself) two remarkably insightful theses. The military industrial complex was born three decades before Eisenhower put a name on it. The first is that the primary result of the disaster that was World War I was not the even great catastrophe that was World War II, but rather a new kind of state and one that is still with us. Maiolo’s argument goes something like this. World War I caught the Great Powers flatfooted. They did not believe they were going to fight a protracted war; they thought things would be done quickly and with the men and materiel on hand. Instead, things bogged down and a massive war of attrition–something they had no experience with–ensued. In order to fight this war successfully (meaning to stay in it for the long term), the Great Powers had to fundamentally restructure their economies, something no state had ever had to do, at least in modern time. In a word, the government took over production and distribution in order to optimize the flow of arms and supplies. Many statesmen found this move objectionable, but all believed it necessary. Once the war was over, they remained convinced that the only way to deter their enemies and, in the case they couldn’t, fend them off, was to retain control of large segments of the economy and plan to take control of even larger segments. The ability to make war on a World-War-I scale and for a World-War-I duration had to be built into the “plan.” Thus the leaders of all the Great Powers effectively militarized their economies in anticipation of the next great conflict. The military industrial complex was born three decades before Eisenhower put a name on it. Maiolo’s second insight has to do with the origins of World War II itself. Most historians agree that it was “Hitler’s War.” He planned it, he armed Germany for it, and he started it. Maiolo doesn’t necessarily disagree with this position, but he offers an interesting counter-factual that puts it in a different light. What if there had been no Hitler? Would the statesmen of Europe have avoided a second great conflict? Maiolo suggests not, and for an interesting reason. Several of the Great Powers–the Soviets and Germans in particular–were very dissatisfied with the settlement at Versailles. They would not stand pat in any case. Given what we know about Soviet and German plans for and movements toward rearmament before 1933 (thanks, it should be said, to Maiolo’s own research), it is not clear that leaders other Stalin or Hitler might not have done exactly what Stalin and Hitler did in 1939, that is, take what they felt was rightfully “theirs” by force of arms. And as Maiolo shows, they would have had plenty of arms at their disposal in any case. The Europeans were going to go at again; it was simply a question of when.

Given what we know about Soviet and German plans for and movements toward rearmament before 1933 (thanks, it should be said, to Maiolo’s own research), it is not clear that leaders other Stalin or Hitler might not have done exactly what Stalin and Hitler did in 1939, that is, take what they felt was rightfully “theirs” by force of arms. And as Maiolo shows, they would have had plenty of arms at their disposal in any case. The Europeans were going to go at again; it was simply a question of when.
