'I took my tears and turned them into paintings' In the electric calm of a blue-painted room, a dying woman reassembles the images of an extraordinary life. The woman is Mexican painter Frida Kahlo. The life is one of struggle - with love, with the body, with her country, and most of all, with her art. La Casa Azul is a collaboration between Quebeçois playwright Sophie Faucher, who also played Frida Kahlo in this production, and internationally acclaimed director Robert Lepage.

David G. Faucher shares his successful "full-participation model" of coaching youth basketball in this Baffled Parent's Guide. Faucher, the head coach of the men's basketball team at Dartmouth College, covers creating good habits, offensive skills and defensive basics, dealing with parents, first aid and safety, and game rules.

Four friends must make their way back across a suddenly jungle-like backyard, after having been shrunk to the size of quarters.

Writer Dan Abnett (TITANS, EARTH 2: SOCIETY) and artists Scot Eaton (BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL), Philippe Briones (NEW SUICIDE SQUAD) and Brad Walker (ACTION COMICS) test Aquaman on all sides as DC’s Rebirth continues in AQUAMAN VOL. 3: CROWN OF ATLANTIS! A devastating war between the United States and Atlantis has been averted, all thanks to Aquaman. And for his part in bringing peace, the King of Atlantis has found the respect and recognition that always eluded him...along with a new group of hardcore “Aquafans” he never expected. But with a higher profile comes a target on Aquaman’s back. There’s Warhead, a cyborg with the ability to mentally control humans and use them as weapons. Then there’s Dead Water, a monstrous villain Aquaman thought he’d defeated, and whose mysterious origins he still doesn’t fully understand. To beat them, the King of the Seven Seas will be forced to make alliances with the same Aquamarines who tried to assassinate him—alliances that may prove just as deadly as any enemy. With these ceaseless threats from above and below, political unrest is rising among the citizens of Atlantis. Even if Aquaman succeeds in keeping his kingdom safe, will he be able to hold on to his throne? Collects issues #16-24.

Somersworth, New Hampshire, is a city which has grown in many ways since it was first designated a town in 1754. When the Great Falls Manufacturing Company was established on the banks of the Salmon Falls River in 1822, Somersworth was thrust into the Industrial Revolution. This had a tremendous economic and social impact on the area and led to Somersworth's proud identity as a hardworking and dynamic mill town. Collected in this fascinating visual history are over 200 photographs which together reflect the rich and diverse history of Somersworth and the nearby towns of Rollinsford and Berwick from the early industrial age to 1960s. In these images can be seen the roots of the purpose, pride, and community spirit which today help Somersworth adapt to the changes of the twentieth century.

What is ‘social capital’? The enormous positivity surrounding it conceals the instrumental economic rationality underpinning the notion as corporations silently sell consumer data for profit. Status chasing is just one aspect of a process of transforming qualitative aspects of social interactions into quantifiable metrics for easier processing, prediction, and behavioural shaping. A work of critical media studies, Social Capital Online examines the idea within the new ‘network spectacle’ of digital capitalism via the ideas of Marx, Veblen, Debord, Baudrillard and Deleuze. Explaining how such phenomena as online narcissism and aggression arise, Faucher offers a new theoretical understanding of how the spectacularisation of online activity perfectly aligns with the value system of neoliberalism and its data worship. Even so, at the centre of all, lie familiar ideas – alienation and accumulation – new conceptions of which he argues are vital for understanding today’s digital society.

A recently developed rocket-borne mass spectrometer which employs a LN2 cryosorption pump has successfully obtained the first direct measurements of the major and minor neutral constituents of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The mass analysis is performed using an rf quadrupole spectrometer with an electron impact ion source. Measurements were obtained from two flights, and the preliminary results from one of these are presented. The constituents measured include N2, O2, Ar, O, CO2, O3, and several other minor constituents. Measurements were obtained from 70 to 120 km. Atomic oxygen measurements were obtained between 85 km and apogee on both up-leg and down-leg of the flight. The atomic oxygen measurements were obtained at lower altitudes by switching the ion source potentials on alternate spectral scans to ionize with 20-eV electrons. The lower ionizing energy reduces that portion of the signal at 16 amu due to dissociative ionization of O2. Number density profiles of individual constituents were obtained by normalizing the relative abundances to a density model. (Author).
