My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

The peril never ends. Ominae's increasingly frantic and increasingly complex missions soon foist upon him numerous, devilish deals that require difficult decisions and agonizing trade-offs. SPRIGGAN v2 proves that no secret organization isn't without its faults, leaks, and traitors. This omnibus also shows how the value of such an organization is defined by the resilience of its individual agents. Craftiness and skill are essential, but grit and personal resolve are much firmer markers of success when combatting the criminal underworld.

SPRIGGAN v2 dips its toes into character backstory, retrieves a few excellent secondary characters from prior episodes, and carves out significant space for a worthy rival or two. To begin, the surrounding cast expands significantly in this book. For example, when tracking a few relics in a cursed forest on the Indian subcontinent, as well as during a demon-hunting expedition to the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq, Ominae encounters the leader of an enemy paramilitary unit. The mobile unit leader, Akatsuki Iwao, works for the Trident Corporation, which exists as a darker, more nefarious version of ARCAM.

Other exploits allow readers to cross paths with Akiha (Ominae's adoptive older sister), Oboro (a top-class spriggan and Ominae's martial arts instructor), and a handful of villains tied to a resuscitated U.S. Special Forces project. The creative team weaves these characters and more into the wider narrative with extraordinary cunning. The story never feels overburdened by too many characters or oversaturated with unwieldy character motivations. One highlight of the previous omnibus was how the story focused on the damage intelligent villains can effect when given the time and liberty to act. One highlight of the current omnibus is that when characters fail, or are overshadowed by the exploits of others, they know when to step aside and let someone else guide or take control of the story.

Readers learn about Oboro, for example, at precisely the point when one starts to wonder if Ominae and Jacquemonde (the shapeshifting Frenchman) really are the only decent spriggan around. Oboro, it turns out, is brilliant, patient, and stoic — a few shades more mature than his student. The man's ability to sniff out trouble, whether tactically or among legendary demon summoners, is entertaining. Readers encounter another spriggan, Tea Flatte, a sorceress, while poking through Jacquemonde's past as an impoverished kid in east-central France. Tea's cool demeanor likely betrays a sadness, or pity, of some kind, but the woman absolutely never loses her temper. A notable helping hand for the compulsive Frenchman.

The omnibus moves the story forward with several large steps. One such shift focuses on the expanded activities of the Trident criminal organization. Another concerns the book's incorporation of backstory — for both Jacquemonde and Ominae.

Interestingly, Trident succeeds at undermining a few of ARCAM's efforts to seal away dangerous materials (e.g., intelligent villains). Akatsuki, who hates to lose, forges a rivalry with Ominae when it's clear they're both skilled fighters who work for sketchy organizations. As far as backstory is concerned, good backstory, in this manga, often manifests as means of selectively compelling a character to take action in a crisis. The examples are numerous. But the most prescient concerns the Child Operative Soldier Machine-Organism System, run by the U.S. Special Forces Machiner's Platoon. To be brief, COSMOS is why Ominae is the way he is. And Trident is keen on resurrecting the project at all costs.

In terms of the practical and organic nature of Ominae's missions, SPRIGGAN v2 offers variety, to modest success. Some missions see the young man skulking abandoned dungeons in the middle of the desert, whereas others find him hunting the bowels of ARCAM's own building so as to fight back against a rogue computer intelligence system. Some missions take place in humid jungles, whereas others make their way into the urban sprawl. The difference in locations is clever, and the variation in villains is often written to match. Scope and emphasis are difficult to sync, as with a few chapters over-emphasizing a random, foolhardy nun's role in tracking down an out-of-the-way relic, but most episodes are solid.

The creative team's skilled integration of new villains, new allies, dark histories, and ominous futures makes SPRIGGAN v2 another quality omnibus. Even better, side characters, such as Yamamoto (Ominae's ARCAM handler), Yamabishi (prodigy linguistics professor), and Yoshino (blacklisted treasure hunter) either return for a brief stint or enjoy much greater time on the page, as with Yamamoto.

Nice 4 x REL Acoustics Subwoofer Install!

Hi Everyone,

It is full on with installs at the moment which is great news, just wanted to share this latest one being a huge advocate of running REL Subwoofers for both 2 channel and cinema of course, this one covered both aspects.

We installed 2 Carbons Specials with a pair of Focal Diablo Utopia’s on a Naim 500 system and a pair of S/510’s on an Arcam AVR31 with some older Naim speakers.

Needless to say as ever when adding subs it transformed both systems.

Cheers,

Paul.

GREAT ISEKAI AU IDEA (reader-insert)

Okay so. This has just sprung up on me, I have not worked this out at all in my head but I feel like this has potential.

So, the you get got by truck-kun, and are isekai'd into the world of Arcame Odyssey... and for some reason you spawn in at Cirrus Island, all grown up, memories intact. Which is weird because this isn't the Player's entrance. In fact, news of Frostmill's curse has just now reached the island.

You realise too late that you're playing the role of Beringer and decide to take matters into your own hands --or something like that, I haven't thought lots on it.

Audiência pública nesta quarta (11) tratou da prestação de contas da Secretaria de Estado da SaúdeFOTO: Solon Soares/Agência AL A Comissão de Saúde da Assembleia Legislativa promoveu na manhã desta quarta-feira (11) a audiência pública para prestação de contas da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde (SES) referente aos dois primeiros quadrimestres de 2024 (janeiro a agosto). A apresentação do relatório sobre o orçamento da saúde pública estadual ao Parlamento catarinense é uma exigência da legislação. Conforme o secretário de Estado da Saúde, Diogo Demarchi da Silva, Santa Catarina, até agosto, investiu 14,04% de seu orçamento na saúde, o que equivale a R$ 5,628 bilhões, superando o mínimo constitucional exigido de 12%. O Estado conta com 198 hospitais atendendo pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e esse número deve chegar a 200 até o fim do ano, segundo o secretário, com o ingresso de mais duas unidades particulares da rede pública estadual de saúde. Com relação a UTIs, Silva informou que a SES conta com 1,4 mil leitos ativos, sendo que desde 2023, foram abertos 230 novas unidades e outros 50 estão em fase de implantação. Conforme o secretário, Santa Catarina é o estado que mais abriu leitos para tratamento intensivo no país. Já a respeito de cirurgias, Silva destacou que os procedimentos com internação devem chegar até o fim do ano em 160 mil, superando os 125 mil realizados no ano passado. Só em julho, foram 16 mil cirurgias por todo o estado. "É algo que nos orgulha muito, porque apesar dos desafios que todos conhecem, estamos fazendo essas cirurgias", disse. Preocupações Silva alertou para a preocupação da SES com a dengue. Embora o número de casos registrados no estado tenha diminuído, em função do inverno, a expectativa é que uma nova onda da doença venha a atingir Santa Catarina ainda este ano. Segundo ele, a secretaria já tem se reunido com os municípios para trabalhar enfrentar essa situação. Mesmo com essa ameaça, a cobertura vicinal contra a dengue segue baixa no estado. Com a primeira dose, foram imunizados 30% do público-alvo. Com a segunda dose, esse índice é de 9%. Até agosto, foram 335 mortes por causa da doença. Outro fator de preocupação do secretário é a judicialização para o acesso a medicamentos. Até o agosto, o Estado já havia empenhado R$ 500 milhões por causa de ações judiciais. Esse montante deve chegar a R$ 710 mi até o fim do ano, superando em R$ 200 milhões o que foi gasto no ano passado. Silva acredita que recente decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) deve reduzir os gastos com judicialização. Manifestações Além do presidente da Comissão de Saúde, deputado Neodi Saretta (PT), participaram da audiência o deputado Dr. Vicente Caropreso (PSDB), membro do colegiado, representantes dos hospitais filantrópicos e dos Ministérios Públicos estadual e federal. Dr. Vicente alertou para a ameaça de uma nova onda de casos de dengue, que deve começar entre novembro e dezembro. Ele também cobrou o estabelecimento de critérios para a habitação de novos serviços de saúde junto ao SUS. O promotor Douglas Roberto Martins, do Ministério Público de Santa Catarina (MPSC), e o procurador da República Michael de Barros Gonçalves, afirmaram que a recente decisão do STF sobre a judicialização, citada pelo secretário da Saúde, não deve resolver o problema, mas vai desonerar estados e municípios, que atualmente arcam com os custos das ações judiciais por remédios. Para Martins, falhas nas políticas públicas relacionadas aos medicamentos colaboram para o elevado número de ações. Já a irmã Neusa Lúcio Luiz, presidente da Federação das Santas Casas, Hospitais e Entidades Filantrópicas do Estado de Santa Catarina (Fehosc), reconheceu os avanços do Estado na questão das cirurgias eletivas, mas cobrou que a política de valorização dos hospitais filantrópicas seja transformada em uma política permanente. Ela reconheceu também o aumento no número de vagas de UTI, porém ressaltou que ainda faltam vagas. "Muitas vezes temos que suspender cirurgias de alta complexidade para atender a população.

É uma situação preocupante." Marcelo Espinoza Agência AL Fonte: Agência ALESC
