We can talk about how inaccurately Judaism was portrayed in Green Lantern Knight Terrors, right? Why were there flowers when that’s rarely at Jewish funerals? Why was there a menorah at a funeral? Why was Martin Jordan, who is canonically Catholic, receiving a Jewish funeral?

Rewrite

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

A/N: I’ve been hyper fixated on Batfam and DC in general for the past two months, and this is what my brain has been cooking. This is based on an fem!OC I made, but I converted it to GN!Reader. Or attempted to. Might write an official one with the oc. I don’t know. I’m new at this stuff and doing this on mobile to boot.

Warning(s): Yandere themes, Obsessive behavior

Reader grows up happy, healthy, a safe away from Gotham

Momma and Daddy (step-father) adore their darling reader

Daddy is kind and understanding; gives good advice, encourages reader, comforts reader after nasty break ups

Momma is sassy and a bit possessive of her baby reader

Momma never tells reader anything about their biological father (He was a big city playboy that missed the court date for custody is all she said)

Reader has a much younger half-brother from Momma and Daddy, who reader also adores

Little Brother’s are annoying, but you have so many interest in common

Suddenly Momma and Daddy are dead; (tragic accident or murdered)

Reader’s Bio Father, Bruce Wayne is called and flies into town via Private Jet and whisk you off to Gotham

Bruce can’t get custody over half-brother due to Reader’s step-grandparents fighting him.

(They tried to keep Reader too, but blood is thicker than water in the eyes of the court. And, Bruce has enough money to make that water run dry)

Bruce isn’t exactly like Momma described, he’s distant and a bit cold with reader. (Like he doesn’t know what to do.)

Bruce gets upset when Reader talks about missing Momma and Daddy, especially when Reader talks about Daddy.

Bruce doesn’t introduce Reader to the family right away.

Reader doesn’t see anyone, but Bruce and Alfred for the first week at the manor.

Bruce avoids reader, but gets upset when Reader ignores him

Reader starts researching their new family. Everything they can find in the media, even the company.

(Family Buisness funds the Justice League? Gotham gains a new Vigilante almost every time Bruce gains a new kid? Jason Todd’s death and reappearance. Suspicious…)

Reader finally meets the others.

First up Cassandra.

Quite, but watches reader like she knows all of reader’s secrets. (That’s terrifying.)

Reader’s instincts scream that she’s dangerous (Reader trusts those instincts.)

Reader is still nice, they get along. Cass rather be alone, but it’s cool. They’re cool.

Second up is Duke.

Duke is great. Official bro. Passes all the vibe checks. (Most normal one in this house.)

Reader’s meta abilities go haywire around him, so Reader needs to be careful. (Reader’s not sharing that secret yet. Not till they share what Reader suspects is their secret)

Third, Dick and Barbara.

Dick is a whirlwind, coddling and pitying, treating reader like a sweet helpless child then leaving. (He’s a busy popular man)

Barbara is polite, but a stranger.

Reader tries to be friendly, but can’t get past the stranger stage.

Fourth Stephanie.

Stephanie politely ignores reader, but reader genuinely wants to hang out. (Similar interest, close in age. Please, can we be friends? ……….)

Reader says they’ll keep trying (It happens… eventually….)

Fifth, Tim.

Tim just brushes Reader off with a blank look and disappears.

Reader can never find Tim. (Always in the cave, at work, on patrol. He’s a busy busy busy sleepy man that avoids even the mention of Reader)

(Stephanie hangs out with Tim though, but they still ignore reader. It’s fine. Reader is fine. It doesn’t hurt.)

Sixth is Jason.

Jason is mean.

Calls reader spoiled, says reader a an ignorant privileged princess, Daddy’s pet, a brat, etc.

But, then leaves when reader starts to snap back.

(He looks like he’s struggling not to strangle reader almost every time reader sees him.)

Seventh is the youngest and reader’s half brother.

Reader is excited to meet him, reader already has a younger half-brother. Having two sounds even better!

Damian is cruel

It breaks reader’s heart.

Damian either ignores reader, or mocks reader viscously. He’ll push and shove and throw things at reader. (Won’t draw a weaponed though, he’s past that.)

He brushes off all of Reader’s attempts at sibling bonding.

All this goes on for a few months.

Reader tries so hard to get close to everyone, but they’re either avoid them, ignore them, are cruel, or they just don’t have the time.

Reader’s life in Gotham is… different.

Reader’s a commodity, and, surprisingly enough, most people like Reader

School Friendships form, which reader worries are because they’re a Wayne child

(Which is true, but not in the way Reader thinks; hint: it involves other types of night avians)

Teacher’s appreciate a humble Wayne (Damian goes to the same school, Reader is a relief to teach)

Reader is quite talented, not a prodigy, not extraordinary. Just extremely approachable.

But, like all good things there is a downside.

Reader wants to spend time with their new friends.

They’re invited to Galas, lunches, brunches, vacations, shopping, etc.

And Reader WANTS to go

But, Bruce won’t let them

It’s not safe

(Which Reader understands, that’s why they never really explore Gotham, but still brunch couldn’t hurt, right?)

So Reader has no one to lean on or connect with. It’s isolating.

Instead Reader spends hours talking on the phone to their old friends and family back in their small town.

There’s a silver lining though: Things are going to get better before they get worse

So much worse

In a new study conducted to examine the effects of high-octane vehicles on getting her back once and for all, researchers have concluded that revving the engine of a Corvette convertible outside your ex-girlfriend’s office is the best way to show her what she’s missing. “According to our data, the efficacy of pulling up to the parking lot of her office plaza in your sweet-ass ride is nearly unmatched in terms of convincing her to get back together, and when you incorporate the act of gunning the engine until a huge cloud of exhaust pours out of the tailpipe, those results nearly triple,” lead researcher Tanya Kramer told reporters Thursday, explaining that the study also found a strong correlation between blasting AC/DC’s “T.N.T.” from the car’s killer speakers and your ex-girlfriend finally seeing the error of her ways.

[palms-upturned]

For US unions like the UAW — which has thousands of members in weapons factories making the bombs, missiles, and aircraft used by Israel, as well in university departments doing research linked to the Israeli military — the Palestinian trade union call to action is particularly relevant. When the UAW’s national leadership came out in support of a cease-fire on December 1, they also voted to establish a “Divestment and Just Transition Working Group.” The stated purpose of the working group is to study the UAW’s own economic ties to Israel and explore ways to convert war-related industries to production for peaceful purposes while ensuring a just transition for weapons workers.

Members of UAW Labor for Palestine say they have started making visits to a Colt factory in Connecticut, which holds a contract to supply rifles to the Israeli military, to talk with their fellow union members about Palestine, a cease-fire, and a just transition. They want to see the union’s leadership support such organizing activity.

“If UAW leaders decided to, they could, tomorrow, form a national organizing campaign to educate and mobilize rank-and-file towards the UAW’s own ceasefire and just transition call,” UAW Labor for Palestine members said in a statement. “They could hold weapons shop town halls in every region; they could connect their small cadre of volunteer organizers — like us — to the people we are so keen to organize with; they could even send some of their staff to help with this work.”

On January 21, the membership of UAW Local 551, which represents 4,600 autoworkers at Ford’s Chicago Assembly Plant (who were part of last year’s historic stand-up strike) endorsed the Palestinian trade unions’ call to not cooperate in the production and transportation of arms for Israel. Ten days later, UAW Locals 2865 and 5810, representing around forty-seven thousand academic workers at the University of California, passed a measure urging the union’s national leaders to ensure that the envisioned Divestment and Just Transition Working Group “has the needed resources to execute its mission, and that Palestinian, Arab and Muslim workers whose communities are disproportionately affected by U.S.-backed wars are well-represented on the committee.”

Members of UAW Locals 2865 and 5810 at UC Santa Cruz’s Astronomy Department have pledged to withhold any labor that supports militarism and to refuse research collaboration with military institutions and arms companies. In December, unionized academic workers from multiple universities formed Researchers Against War (RAW) to expose and cut ties between their research and warfare, and to organize in their labs and departments for more transparency about where the funding for their work comes from and more control over what their labor is used for. RAW, which was formed after a series of discussions by union members first convened by US Labor Against Racism and War last fall, hosted a national teach-in and planning meeting on February 12.

Meanwhile, public sector workers in New York City have begun their own campaign to divest their pension money from Israel. On January 25, rank-and-file members of AFSCME District Council (DC) 37 launched a petition calling on the New York City Employees’ Retirement System to divest the $115 million it holds in Israeli securities. The investments include $30 million in bonds that directly fund the Israeli military and its activities. “As rank-and-file members of DC 37 who contribute to and benefit from the New York City Employees’ Retirement System and care about the lives of working people everywhere, we refuse to support the Israeli government and the corporations that extract profit from the killing of innocent civilians,” the petition states.

In an election year when President Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates will depend heavily on organized labor for donations and especially get-out-the-vote efforts, rank and filers are also trying to push their unions to exert leverage on the president by getting him to firmly stand against the ongoing massacre in Gaza. NEA members with Educators for Palestine are calling on their union’s leaders to withdraw their support for Biden’s reelection campaign until he stops “sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel,” marching from AFT headquarters to NEA headquarters in Washington, DC on February 10 to assert their demand. Similarly, after the UAW International Executive Board endorsed Biden last month — a decision that sparked intense division within the union — UAW Labor for Palestine is demanding the endorsement be revoked “until [Biden] calls for a permanent ceasefire and stops sending weapons to Israel.”

while reading superman comics i ran into this panel of batman with a lead-lined cowl, and it got me thinking.

the comic this is from (adventures of superman #440) has a cover date of may 1988. dr. clair cameron patterson first published findings about the prevalence of lead in gasoline and other parts of common postindustrial life being harmful in 1965, but we only saw legislation passed about leaded gasoline in 1975 (as per wikipedia:)

Starting with the 1975 model year, the United States mandated the use of unleaded gasoline to protect catalytic converters in all new cars.[18] However, Patterson's efforts achieved an accelerated phaseout of lead from all standard automotive gasoline—but not all leaded fuels—in the United States by 1986. By the late 1990s lead levels in the blood of Americans were reported to have dropped by up to 80%.[19] In 1978, Patterson was appointed to a National Research Council panel that acknowledged many of the increases of lead contamination and the need for reductions, but some members argued for more research before recommending action.[20] Patterson expressed his opinions in a 78-page minority report, which argued that control measures in certain sensitive sectors—including all leaded fuels, public water distribution systems, food containers, paints and glazes—should start immediately.[21]

so they definitely would have known lead is a health hazard while making this.. but probably not when it was established that lead everything confounded superman's senses back in precrisis (i assume), so maybe that's a holdover? and also it's very likely that dc just has never thought that hard about these things, simply because lead had been established as the Superman Blocker™ for so long. there is a LOT of lead in these early postcrisis superman comics. the metal men have a Lead Guy, the joker has a bunch of convienent lead coffins to stuff people into, lexcorp everything is lead-lined, buildings in metropolis have lead in them...

which definitely all tracks with like older us city infrastructure Built With Lead In It (and with lex luthor being the way that he is), but still . im actually so curious about the concept of an attitude shift wrt lead infrastructure and lead batcowls, etc., as it relates to increased public health awareness re: lead poisoning. it may be anecdotal, but i feel like in late 90s to 2000s comics, mentions of lead in infrastructure (or costuming) weren't so prevalent? i'll have to pay closer attention as i reread triangle era onwards, i think.

Casting Call for Dante

Project Overview

We are looking to cast two Dantes in two fan projects, one titled, Devil in My Mind, and the other titled, Killer-Red. Both Dantes appear in both stories.

What is Devil in My Mind?

Devil in My Mind is a fan fiction that crosses the DC Universe over with the Devil May Cry 5 Universe and takes place in Jump City, focusing heavily on the Teen Titans.

What is Killer-Red?

Killer-Red is a fan fiction that crosses the DC Universe over with the DmC: Devil May Cry Universe and takes place in both Limbo City and Gotham City.

Audio Dramas

Please note, these stories are not in the public domain and cannot be found on Ao3. We use Wattpad to get the text out to the reader, but the text is meant to be performative and will involve working with creatives trained in live theatre and music.

We will be converting both Devil in My Mind and Killer-Red into audio dramas suitable for adult audiences. Our team has a few artists that will be creating accompanying illustrations, as these stories will ultimately be going live on Youtube. Everything we create for these fan projects is non-profit and will not be available for sale or reuse.

50 per hour even if we finish early 

Live Sessions must be scheduled

PayPal required, payment transaction takes place at the end of the session to ensure additional funds are applied when live sessions go longer than planned.

Rate is fixed/nonnegotiable

AGES 21+ ONLY

Please list the following information in your audition:

Microphone specs

Link to your portfolio

Link to at least one public review/3rd party testimony relating to a previous voice acting project you partook in.

How to Audition

Record all lines in order, one take each.

At the start of the recording, please include your name and a brief 10-15 second blurb about why you are interested in these projects and what you can uniquely bring to the character. We will not cast according to upvotes nor your ability to imitate another voice actor. You are welcome to make your audition private, this won't count against you at all.

You will need to have the following: PayPal, Discord, Google Email. The performers we choose will join Team Diamond, which includes our Discord Server and the usage of Google Drive for sharing project files.

Before anyone asks, Vergil is not available. Both mainline and Nephilim Vergil have already been cast. This is also the case for Killer-Red and Harley Quinn.

Note: Nephilim Dante is often referred to as "Reboot Dante.” You’ll very quickly find, when researching these parts, that the Devil May Cry fanbase has a bit of a vendetta for this version of Dante. I want to hear auditions that examine him for his emotions and convictions, not auditions that exhibit any sort of fandom-rooted destain over his character not meeting an individual's preferential gaming expectations.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your voice with us! We are super pumped about these characters.

What is a DC Load Bank Used For?

Unmasking the Powerhouse Behind Your Devices

In the bustling world of electricity, where power generation, transmission, and distribution are the lifeblood of modern living, there exists a lesser-known yet indispensable component: the DC load bank. While it might not be a household name, its role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of power systems is paramount. Let’s dive into the world of DC load banks and uncover their significance.

What Exactly is a DC Load Bank?

Think of a DC load bank as a diligent workout buddy for your power sources. It’s essentially a device engineered to simulate electrical loads for direct current (DC) power sources. Composed of resistive elements that transform electrical energy into heat, it effectively draws power from the system under test. While this might sound simple, its applications are vast and crucial.

Why Do We Need DC Load Banks?

The primary purpose of a DC load bank is to assess and evaluate the performance of DC power sources. This includes:

Battery Testing: Batteries are the heart of numerous DC systems, from electric vehicles to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Regular testing is crucial to ensure they can deliver the required power when needed. DC load banks mimic real-world conditions, allowing for precise evaluation of battery capacity, discharge rate, and overall health.

UPS Testing: UPS systems provide backup power during outages. Load banks simulate heavy loads, mirroring real-world scenarios and helping determine if the UPS can handle the demand.

Generator Testing: Even though generators primarily produce AC power, they often have DC systems for control and excitation. DC load banks can be used to test these components.

Rectifier Testing: Rectifiers convert AC to DC power. Load banks aid in evaluating their performance and efficiency.

Research and Development: In laboratories and research facilities, DC load banks are used to test new battery technologies, power electronics, and other DC systems.

Real-World Applications

To grasp the importance of DC load banks better, let’s explore some real-world examples:

Data Centers: Data centers heavily rely on UPS systems to shield critical IT equipment from power outages. Regular load testing using DC load banks is crucial to ensure the UPS can handle the load and prevent costly downtime.

Renewable Energy: Solar and wind power systems often incorporate battery storage. Load banks are used to test the performance and capacity of these batteries.

Electric Vehicles: Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity. Manufacturers employ DC load banks to test the performance and longevity of EV batteries under various conditions.

Military and Aerospace: In these sectors, reliable power is paramount. DC load banks are used to test batteries, power supplies, and other DC equipment in harsh environments.

EMAX Load Bank: A Powerhouse Solution

EMAX Load Bank specializes in providing top-tier DC load bank solutions. With a commitment to quality and innovation, EMAX offers a range of load banks tailored to meet diverse industry needs. From compact units for research to heavy-duty solutions for industrial applications, EMAX has you covered.

Benefits of Using DC Load Banks

Enhanced Reliability: Regular testing with a DC load bank helps identify potential issues before they lead to system failures.

Increased Efficiency: By accurately assessing power system performance, load banks help optimize energy usage.

Extended Equipment Lifespan: Proper maintenance, enabled by load bank testing, can prolong the life of batteries and other components.

Compliance: Many industries have regulations requiring regular testing of power systems. DC load banks help ensure compliance.

Cost Savings: Preventing unexpected failures and maximizing equipment lifespan can result in significant cost savings.

Conclusion

DC load banks, though often overlooked, are the unsung heroes of power systems. By simulating real-world conditions, they provide invaluable data for testing, troubleshooting, and optimizing performance. As our reliance on DC power continues to grow, the importance of load banks will only increase.

The Last Buffalo of Old.

This the 20th member of the Buffalo Airways fleet that I have converted from my prior flight simulator artwork to the new wall art designs. But additional research has revealed another four aircraft that belonged (however briefly) to Buffalo or the McBryan family …so I'm not done with them yet. These new joins will require painting from scratch, which I have not done in a while, but am looking forward to completing.

Oh, and by the way, this aircraft was the first that "Buffalo Joe" McBryan learned how to fly DC-3's with, and subsequently purchased for his then-fledgling airline back in 1979. Where were you in 1979? I was still attending high school.

Worldbuilding Facts (Reboot AU)

Moving onto the world building aspect- humanity in this version of Transformers: Prime has technology that’s a bit more advanced- not too ahead of it’s time period, but way ahead of 2011 since, unlike the original show, this takes place in 2023. Things like cloaking fields and warp drives are still in their prototype stage- and the existence of these inventions is partially due to Energon leaking into Earth's soil in several parts of the world. This makes it so that humanity is just beginning to explore space beyond the moon.

***

The Autobot base- otherwise known as Outpost Omega One- is still located inside a mountain in one of Nevada’s more remote areas, since that’s the location that makes the most sense strategy-wise. It used to be a Cold War missile silo before it was converted, just like in the original- and as a result, it’s shielded against radio signals and is operated using a blend of Cybertronian technology and old human machinery- which Jack is ECSTATIC about taking apart and examining for the purpose of reverse-engineering and upgrading them.

***

Jasper isn’t just some small little backwater town in the middle of Nevada- it’s more similar to DC, in which a good portion of the county is suburban neighborhoods and public areas with a whole 40% being an urban city district due to the town being close to Las Vegas in this AU. Jack and Raf live in the suburban areas, with the latter sometimes taking trips to the city to run errands.

And as for what the city itself looks like? It’s towering skyscrapers and blinding lights galore. Parks, libraries, several grocery stores and bodegas, multiple small businesses, casinos, salons, boutiques, multiple cultural enclaves including a Chinatown, a bustling night market, a cultural museum, a literal Financial District, an entire metro system- the city has it all.

***

As for more settings other than the primary settings of Autobot base and Jasper County, since I'm going hardcore with this AU- far out in the Kuiper Belt orbits the Salsotto Space Station, a colossal museum-like starship doubling as a state-of-the-art advanced research facility. It's the personal property of Dr. Stephen Arkeville, the founder of the Fellowship of Geniuses and a leading pioneer of research investigating into space travel, as well as the discovery and observation of extraterrestrial lifeforms. It's the setting of a few episodes throughout the series.

The people living in the space station primarily consist of researchers of all sorts of different backgrounds, of whom are assigned to different departments based on their areas of study and their individual strengths. Of course- Dr. Arkeville himself, being the lead researcher and owner of the entire space station, is the most accomplished among them, having been the one to invent warp drives in the first place and discover the existence of Energon in the first place.

Photovoltaic converters: Reducing size, weight and cost through higher switching frequencies and lower losses

Within the Research Project PV-MoVe, researchers at the Fraunhofer IEE investigated how to use active switching loss reduction networks for power semiconductors to enable smaller, more lightweight, and more cost-efficient photovoltaic converters. Using newly developed additional circuitry, switching frequencies for a 50 kW PV inverter could be increased by a factor of 2.5–3 for the DC input stage and by a factor of 10–12.5 for the inverter output stage. The project was worked on in cooperation with project partners Infineon Technologies AG and SUMIDA Components & Modules GmbH from 2019 to 2023. The main goal of the project, titled "Methods, Procedures and Components to Reduce Switching Losses in Fast-Switching PV Converters for targeted Weight and Cost Reduction," was to reduce switching losses in power semiconductors to enable higher switching frequencies. This enables opportunities to manufacture PV converters smaller, more lightweight, and more cost-effective without impeding their efficiency significantly.

Knowing the Relationship In Between Hygiene as well as Power Productivity of Solar Panels in Adelaide

Introduction

In recent years, solar power has actually acquired tremendous traction, particularly in sunny areas like Adelaide. As residents and services acquire solar panels to minimize their carbon dioxide impact as well as energy expenses, a crucial element usually disregarded is actually the tidiness of these bodies. The link between cleanliness as well as energy productivity of solar Adelaide exterior cleaning experts powers is great and may significantly determine their functionality. In this post, we examine why maintaining clean solar panels is actually crucial for optimum energy efficiency.

Understanding the Link In between Tidiness as well as Electricity Effectiveness of Solar Panels in Adelaide

Solar boards are created to grab sunlight and change it into electricity. Nevertheless, dirt, dirt, bird droppings, leaves, as well as various other debris can accumulate externally of the doors gradually. This collection impedes sun light from arriving at the photovoltaic cells, which directly affects energy creation. A clean solar power can easily make up to 30% even more electric energy compared to a dirty one.

The Scientific research Responsible for Solar power Efficiency

Solar doors operate on the concept of photovoltaic technology. When sun light hits the semiconductor component within solar cells, it excites electrons and also produces straight existing (DC) electric power. The cleaner the board surface, the even more sun light can pass through and also trigger this process.

How Dirt Affects Electricity Production

Dirt-related blockages may disperse or shut out light-toned radiations from reaching the tissues effectively. Also a thin coating of grime can result in substantial declines in energy result. For instance:

Dust: Buildup as time go on lessens lightweight absorption. Bird Droppings: These may be especially damaging as they dry and solidify on surfaces. Leaves & Plant pollen: Seasonal variations may trigger differing degrees of obstruction. Common Myths regarding Photovoltaic panel Cleaning

Many misconceptions exist regarding photovoltaic panel cleansing that prevent individuals coming from maintaining their units properly.

Myth 1: Storm Cleans Solar Panels Effectively

While rain performs help wash away some gunk, it usually leaves behind residue that can easily build up over time.

Myth 2: Cleansing Solar Panels Damages Them

If performed appropriately along with appropriate products, cleansing carries out not damage photovoltaic panels yet boosts their longevity.

The Relevance of Normal Photovoltaic Panel Maintenance Benefits Beyond Power Efficiency

Maintaining clean solar powers does certainly not only boost energy productivity; it likewise extends the life-span of your investment.

1. Boosted Performance

Clean solar panels function at peak efficiency amounts. Routine cleaning makes sure that they consistently make optimum electricity.

2. Cost Savings

Higher efficiency converts into lower utility costs. House owners may find a fast return on investment through financial savings accumulated fro

DC Power Analyzers: Precision Tools for Measuring and Optimizing Direct Current Systems

As the world moves toward cleaner energy and more efficient electronics, DC (direct current) power systems are becoming increasingly common. From electric vehicles and solar inverters to battery-powered devices and telecom infrastructure, DC technology is everywhere. With this rise in DC-based systems comes the need for accurate and reliable measurements—this is where DC power analyzers play a critical role. These advanced instruments provide detailed insights into voltage, current, power, and energy consumption in DC circuits. Whether you're developing energy-efficient devices, testing battery performance, or managing a renewable energy installation, a DC power analyzer is an essential tool for ensuring system reliability, efficiency, and safety.

What Is a DC Power Analyzer?

A DC power analyzer is a precision instrument designed to measure and analyze electrical parameters specifically in direct current systems. Unlike generic multimeters or AC-focused analyzers, DC power analyzers offer high-accuracy readings across a wide range of conditions and are capable of advanced functions such as:

Voltage and current measurement (steady-state and dynamic)
