Superman #93 (September 1994)

ZERO HOUR CROSSOVER! Due to the time-related shenanigans going on around the DC Universe, Superman meets his Kryptonian parents again -- and this time, his mom doesn't want to puke when she sees him! In fact, she even gives him a motherly kiss. Aww.

We start with Supergirl fighting some 68th century aliens who found themselves transported to present-day Earth and apparently figured they might as well invade it. Superman drops by and deals with the aliens via his usual approach to problem-solving: he just chucks their ship back into space.

As the heroes land back in Metropolis, Lois Lane hands Superman her cellular telephone because he has a call from Ma Kent, who sounds pretty panicked. The call abruptly cuts off, and there's a dramatic moment where Superman wonders if he can really leave the whole "the universe is in danger" thing aside for a while...

...before deciding that, yes, his mom is more important, obviously.

So, Superman flies to Smallville to check on his parents, only to find two surprise characters in their home: freaking' Psi-Phon and Dreadnaught. Wait, no, it's his other parents, Jor-El and Lara, just standing in the Kent's kitchen. Jor-El explains that, after sending little baby Kal-El's rocket to Earth all those years ago, they realized Krypton wasn't exploding after all, whoops. A scientist called Jen-Em had figured out how to stall the explosion, and then, after years of work, they managed to cure Krypton of its explosive tendencies for good.

Superman quickly figures out that this must be the result of the weirdness caused by Zero Hour (after all, he's been to Krypton and saw that there's nothing but a big ball of green gas there), but he agrees to put on a Cyclops-esque visor that will show him Jor-El's story in more detail.

Through the futuristic Viewmaster, Superman learns that in this timeline, Krypton's near-death experience caused the Kryptonians to re-evaluate their priorities and abandon their cold, emotionless ways (hence this Lara not being repulsed by her son). In fact, Lara became the first modern Kryptonian to get pregnant and have a child the old fashioned way -- meaning that, yes, Superman has a brother, Zan-El. Zan not only grew up to become "prefect over the entire planet" (so, world president) but, more importantly, he also brought back the shorter togas and fashionable headbands of Krypton's ancient, Mike Mignola-designed past.

Meanwhile, Jor-El had spent all those decades working on a cure to the genetic defect that kills Kryptonians if they try to leave the planet. He finally came up with a serum that temporarily allowed him and Lara to visit Earth, but it's already wearing off. So, Superman has to decide quickly: will he go live in alternate, non-exploded Krypton with his biological family? Or will he stay with his adoptive one that actually raised him and made him who he is?

Superman agonizes over the choice for a moment, but then he's like "hey, wait a minute, I can just go visit!" He informs the Els of his decision and they're overjoyed -- until a poorly-timed thunderbolt full of chronal energy strikes their spaceship and erases them from reality.

"The last son of Krypton is orphaned once again." Damn, Jurgens.

Metron of the New Gods comes to remind the grieving Superman that all the other superheroes are waiting for him at Zero Hour #3 (now on sale!), but Superman says they can wait a little longer because he has something important to do: hug his Earth parents and tell them he loves them.

CONTINUED IN ZERO HOUR!

Plotline-Watch:

This is a classic issue, obviously, but my problem with it is that one of the "next issue" blurbs in another Super-Title had teased it as "Guess who's coming to dinner?" -- and yet there's no scene of the Kents and the Els enjoying any type of meal. I haven't read the recent Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special by Jurgens (I will once we're done covering the event), but this scene better be in it.

At the start of the issue, as she fights the aliens, Supergirl sees the Superman hologram that he and Metron created with Green Lantern's help in Zero Hour #4. We'll go over every DC comic that got spammed with green holo-Superman in another post.

It greatly pleases me that Superman specifically mentions the time, exactly 75 issues ago, when Hawkman took him to see Krypton's remains (at which point Superman hallucinated a timeline where the Kryptonians survived by becoming even bigger assholes). Sure, it later turned out that this was an evil Hawkman impostor who inexplicably helped save Superman's life, but Superman probably doesn't know about that whole mess, plus I think Zero Hour is about to delete it from continuity anyway.

The reason for that genetic link to Krypton that Jor-El mentions was the Eradicator, as revealed in Action Annual #2, but Jurgens also refrains from opening that particular can of worms in this comic (especially since the Eradicator is currently running around with a superhero team and even appears in Zero Hour).

Metropolis Mailbag:

Imagine our delight (and our embarrassment) when we opened the newsletter archive page for Man of Steel #37 last week and saw there was a comment there from Mr. Jon Bogdanove himself, which had been sitting there unanswered for over a month! Agh! Here it is in full:

"Don—Outstanding job identifying all the Batmen ( You even got Walt!!). The only one you didn’t get reflects my failure. What you guessed was Marshall Rogers was meant to be Bernie Wrightson. However I deeply regret NOT including Marshall. I really should have. I also left out Norm, mainly because I didn’t think I could do him justice. I tried a few sketches and was able to identify a number of tropes we took a similar approach to—but I just wasn’t satisfied that I could really nail Norm—at least in the time I had left. Teaching myself all these different styles really pushed the drop-dead deadline to the limit. I really put poor Dennis and Whitty under the gun on this one. I did learn a hell of a lot drawing this issue though. Nothing like studying the masters to help you learn!! BTW: Weezie and I love that everyone hated Jeb so very much. One gets to draw many villains in one’s career, but rarely does one get to create so dislikeable a douchebag! I consider Jeb a genuine achievement. I know 90’s Jimmy annoys some people, but to me Jimmy was always meant to be comic relief. I liked playing Jimmy as this doofus kid with a middle-aged dad’s sense of cool. He still cracks me up. I would love to do a Retro look at Zero Hour—perhaps a vignette from that same night— in which 90s Jimmy meets himself from various other timelines—Golden Age office boy Jimmy, Silver-Age drag queen Jimmy, Kirby-era Jimmy, etc. I’d dedicate it to Max!"

And my shamefully late response (gonna go ahead and blame the time disturbances for it):

"I am mortified that we hadn't seen this comment until now! (Didn't realize the newsletter wouldn't alert us, argh) Sir, if you don't draw that Jimmy idea, I swear I will commission it from you one day. I would add Turtle Boy Jimmy, My Adventures with Superman Jimmy, and of course bald, Superman-hating Jerry Ordway Jimmy. Just no Jebs, please."

(I now check the newsletter archive pages for comments 75 times a day, unless I forget.)

And now: more from Don Sparrow, who sent me his section weeks ago but it also got lost in time (actually, I decided to cover Zero Hour #4 first). Keep reading:

Art-Watch (by @donsparrow):

We open with the cover, and while it’s a bit broad, it’s certainly accurate for the story within.  I kinda dig that “DC Universe” trade dress, though it didn’t seem to last very long.  Inside the issue, we’re met with a lovely full-page splash of Supergirl amidst a LOT going on—thunderclouds, lightning, a firing spacecraft and a Star Wars style holographic projection of Superman.

I wasn’t sure which review to tackle first, Zero Hour #4, or this one, but since they seem to take place more or less at the same time (with the holographic message coming early into issue 4, but the New York meeting coming in Zero Hour #3), I flipped a coin and went with this one as happening first.  As the story progresses, Supergirl gets an assist from the Man of Steel in dealing with the timelost aliens, brusquely tossing them into space.  This issue exemplifies a trend I’ve noticed with Jurgens’ layouts since the Death and Return storyline—he uses a lot fewer panels per page than he once did, often with a near full page splash and then two or three panels laid overtop.  Visually, it’s very arresting, and Jurgens knocks the background splashes out of the park—on pages 4 and 5, despite being nearly identical scenarios (Superman and Supergirl flying in a stormy sky), they’re both so well handled, you don’t even mind the repetition.  But from a storytelling standpoint, it really does feel like a little less to read each issue, so the Superman issues seem a little thinner in terms of what actually happens.  Anyone else notice this? [Max: For me at the time, the shorter plots were balanced out by the fact that I spent more time looking at the big, awesome pictures, as opposed to the smaller, lamers ones in the backissues I was buying, with all that wasted white space between panels. I'm paying for the full page to be used, dammit!!!] 

Back to the art, page 7 has a great drawing of a pensive Superman. Page 9 is a great image, but a bit of a missed opportunity—the last panel would have been more impactful had Jor-El REALLY looked identical to Kal-El (which I’ve mocked up). [Max: I also made a small change to the panel, see if you can spot it...]

I do appreciate Jurgens’ and Rubinstein’s effort to still give the Els expressive faces, without eyebrows.

As Jor-El shares the alternate history of Krypton, Superman in the VR visor is pretty reminiscent of Cyclops from X-Men.  It’s compelling to see the flowing outfits that Zan-El and his bride wear, in opposition to the robes of Jor and Lara—much more like the early more Roman look shown in the first issue of the World of Krypton series.  My guess is the group that attend Zan’s nuptials are all members of the El family--I had thought that the different Kryptonian houses would wear different colours rather than everyone in green, but aside from the odd panel from Action Annual #2, I can’t seem to find much corroboration of that assumption.  The sweet image of Lara giving her son a peck on the cheek is quietly powerful, with a great expression on Superman’s face on page 17.  Lastly, the tragic page of chronal discharge (which sounds like a rap metal band name) and electrical storms is well drawn.

SPEEDING BULLETS:

When Superman is hemming and hawing over whether to focus on the extinction level event the superheroes are facing, or head to the farm to help his parents, Supergirl posits “There’s only one choice and you know it.”  I completely thought that it was setting up for him to focus on saving all of humanity rather than popping home for a visit.

Perhaps it’s because they were trying to have the Zero Hour books serve as a jumping on point for new readers (particularly the zero issues, which are coming soon) but some of the dialogue in this issue feels clunkily expository, like when Superman reminds his fiancée Lois and quasi-family member Supergirl that the Kents “may not have been {his} genetic parents, but they’re real as they come”, or later when Superman explains to Jor-El and Lara (and the reader) about Krypton’s explosion, and the Matrix chamber rocketship.

They kinda gloss over whether there was any fallout about being wrong about Krypton exploding, though I suppose it was more about Jen-Em stabilizing the core rather than Jor being wrong. [Max: "Krypton is gonna blow up, guys" is definitely a meme among the current Kryptonian generation because the scientists did such a great job stopping it, like Y2K or the hole in the ozone layer here.]

Have we ever seen a post-Crisis Kryptonian depicted as having anything but black hair? [Max: I'm pretty sure there were some non-black haired ones in World of Krypton, but it's hard to tell with the eyebrow-less, nun habit-wearing ones. It's possible they made other hair colors go away once they got all into eugenics, though.]

It’s interesting that this alternate Krypton goes one step further than Byrne’s origin, regarding the Els.  In Byrne’s history, Jor-El was a rebel in his society because he had actual affection for his lifemate, Lara.  The notion of natural conception and birth goes even further than that, and was explored in the Man of Steel film, where (spoiler alert?) Kal himself was the first child naturally conceived in love in generations.

This issue also reveals that the familiar robes and headpieces worn by Jor-El and Lara aren’t simply traditional garb, they’re referred to as life support suits.

Though the Kents are worried about losing Clark to his Kryptonian parents, Jonathan is all man, which explains why he picks this particular moment to go to second base with his elderly wife. [Max: He instinctively wanted to get working on a replacement son, forgetting he's been shooting blanks since youth...]

While Superman cries in anguish at seeing his biological parents detonate, Metron simply refers to them as “unfortunates”.  All heart, that one.

This is a long post about my mom because I’m really stressed out.

It’s really hard to know with my mom if her behavior is related to her personality, some kind of syndrome like ADHD, trauma / intense guilt from life events that I am or am not aware of, prior or current alcoholism, or the beginnings of cognitive decline.

But here’s how she is:

- inability to focus on information, forgetfulness, lack of critical thinking to an EXTREME degree.

- constant lying to avoid even the smallest conflict and inability to keep her lies straight (the lying is obvious because she gets nervous and starts stuttering)

- extreme impatience (can’t cook minute rice, make a cup of coffee, or sit quietly; throws tantrums at the slightest setback or inconvenience. Like stamping her feet on the floor tantrums)

And as a result, being with her is literally like being with a child. She interrupts me when I’m talking to her to ask inane questions, I have to push her to eat anything remotely healthy and to shower, she gets extremely overwhelmed and confused. I ask her if she’s hungry or tired and she won’t answer so I have to guess.

And she was not like this all her life. A little scatterbrained and impatient, sure. But she is a heavily decorated journalist for newspapers and magazines who used to travel around on own all over the country. She expertly managed her own career, was the breadwinner in our family - she was sharp and tough when I was a kid. I don’t know exactly when this started or exactly what is going on - I guess it’s been bad for a few years since the situation with my sister / my dad’s death / the pandemic. I constantly think of cognitive decline but she insists she’s being regularly evaluated and I’m not there so what can I do? She lives with her sister who I’m trusting to flag any serious issues and trying to manage from abroad/out of state.

Right now the biggest issue is that despite me asking and reminding her over and over and over and over for the last 6 months about how much walking she would need to do here, and despite her regular insistence over the phone that she is walking regularly, had good shoes from the podiatrist, and was in good shape, this is CLEARLY not the case, she is hobbling around on a pair of shoes that are completely falling apart so she’s constantly rolling her ankle - it’s less walking than it is shuffling. It’s clear she is in pain but won’t tell me where, how much pain, etc.

All I can do is just get her a lot of rest over the next 2 days and minimize the walking so that she’ll be OK for her Colosseum tour on Saturday. Once she gets home I can push her to see a doctor but I can’t force her, you know? I worry a lot about her becoming immobile because she is extremely social which at her age is so important and if she has trouble getting around she’s going to get depressed!!!

This fucking sucks!!! I don’t know what to do!!!

Boeing develops technologies for a next-generation hypersonic interceptor

The results will inform the future hypersonic interception capabilities, vital for national defense.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/12/2023 - 1:00 p.m. in Military

The signing of the contract includes digital analysis and flight tests of a hypersonic interceptor prototype.

Boeing will develop and test technologies for a hypersonic interceptor prototype for DARPA's Glide Breaker program as part of a four-year effort.

Boeing will perform computational analysis of fluid dynamics, wind tunnel tests and evaluation of the effects of the jet's aerodynamic interaction during flight tests.

“Hypersonic vehicles are among the most dangerous and rapidly evolving threats facing national security,” said Gil Griffin, executive director of Boeing Phantom Works Advanced Weapons. "We are focusing on the technological knowledge necessary to further develop our nation's anti-hypersonic capabilities and to defend ourselves from future threats."

The Glide Breaker aims to inform the design and development of future hypersonic interceptors, which could destroy a threat by traveling at least five times the speed of sound in the upper atmosphere during what is known as the "planing phase" of the flight. The development and testing led by Boeing will provide the basis for future operational interceptors in the planing phase, capable of defending themselves against these sophisticated and evolving hypersonic threats.

“This phase of the Glide Breaker program will determine how factors such as the hypersonic airflow and the firing of jet thrusters to guide the vehicle affect the performance of the system at extreme speeds and altitudes in a representative digital environment,” Griffin said. "We are operating at the forefront of what is possible in terms of intercepting an extremely fast object in an incredibly dynamic environment."

Not Sure Which Cancer Screening Test to Take? Start Here

If you're feeling confused about which cancer screening test you should take, you're not alone. With many types of cancer and a variety of tests available, it’s natural to feel uncertain. But early detection is one of the best weapons in the fight against cancer, and knowing where to begin can make a significant difference in outcomes. This article will guide you through the essential information to help you decide which cancer screening test is right for you.

Why Cancer Screening Tests Matter

A cancer screening test helps detect cancer before symptoms appear. When detected early, treatment is often more effective and less invasive. These tests are usually recommended based on factors like age, gender, lifestyle, family history, and personal health conditions. The goal of any cancer screening test is to catch abnormalities at an early stage—sometimes even before they turn into cancer.

Common Types of Cancer Screening Tests

There isn’t a single cancer screening test that checks for all types of cancer. Instead, different tests target different cancers. Here are some of the most common ones:

Mammogram – A low-dose X-ray used to detect breast cancer, usually recommended for women over 40.

Pap Smear and HPV Test – Used to screen for cervical cancer, typically starting at age 21.

Colonoscopy – Screens for colon or rectal cancer, often starting at age 45.

Low-Dose CT Scan – Recommended for high-risk individuals to detect lung cancer.

PSA Test – Measures prostate-specific antigen levels for prostate cancer screening in men over 50.

Each cancer screening test serves a unique purpose, and not everyone needs every test. What’s appropriate for you depends on several factors.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Test

Age: Some screenings, like mammograms and colonoscopies, are age-based. Your age is a significant determinant in selecting a cancer screening test.

Gender: Some cancers are gender-specific. For example, prostate cancer affects men, while cervical cancer affects women. Thus, your gender helps determine the relevant cancer screening test.

Family History: If you have a family history of cancer, your risk increases. A doctor may recommend beginning screening earlier or choosing more sensitive tests.

Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise can increase cancer risk. Based on your lifestyle, a cancer screening test may be necessary sooner rather than later.

Existing Medical Conditions: Chronic conditions like diabetes or obesity may increase cancer risk. These conditions may necessitate earlier or more frequent cancer screening tests.

When Should You Start?

Knowing when to start a cancer screening test is critical. For average-risk individuals, guidelines often suggest:

Breast cancer: Begin mammograms at age 40 or 50 and continue every 1-2 years.

Cervical cancer: Start Pap tests at age 21 and HPV testing by age 30.

Colorectal cancer: Colonoscopy or stool tests should start at age 45.

Lung cancer: Annual low-dose CT scans are usually advised for those aged 50–80 with a significant smoking history.

Keep in mind that guidelines can vary slightly across countries and medical organizations, so personal consultation is key.

What If You’re Still Unsure?

If you're uncertain, consider starting with a general health checkup. Many healthcare providers now offer bundled packages that include multiple cancer screening tests. This can be a great starting point for a thorough evaluation. Based on your results and risk factors, further testing may be recommended.

Also, stay informed. Reading about symptoms and understanding your family history can guide your next step. A single cancer screening test might reveal crucial information or rule out concerns that have been on your mind.

The Importance of Regular Follow-Ups

Taking a cancer screening test is not a one-time event. If your first test is normal, that’s great—but it doesn’t mean you can ignore future screenings. Depending on the test and your risk profile, repeat testing may be necessary every year or few years.

Regular screenings improve your chances of catching changes early. Following the recommended schedule ensures ongoing vigilance against cancer development.

Final Thoughts

Navigating the world of cancer screening tests can feel overwhelming at first, but taking that initial step is a powerful move toward protecting your health. You don’t need to figure it all out alone—basic knowledge, paired with medical advice, can go a long way.

Remember, the right cancer screening test for you depends on many individual factors. Starting with general information and then consulting a professional can clear up the confusion. Don’t wait for symptoms. Be proactive. Take control of your health today by understanding and choosing the right cancer screening test for your needs.

Phase: Waning Crescent (Ritual) workshop fun update

Hint on the moon image on the wall is this image (gif) I made at that time in several images of the moon very difficult to capture because of the weather.

Gif Ritual of banishment and protection to do during this phase; I put a photography (taken by me) of the moon on the right geometry (19%) on my wall, so closely the same as that of this night 11%) but, this moon in photography is not a good memory because I was in an apocalyptic time (see in my flickr and make the link with my blogs) so it is perfect to use it; it is necessary to add a jewel or something in the #pentagram and then wear it; this spell repels the wrong information, people and vibrations, consequences of bad intentions and direct, re-send to ill-intentioned people. It’s very pretty (I did the thing on my bed because my room is full of luggage) Unfortunately the moon has not yet risen and, since the last photograph it is almost impossible to see.

I started image 1 at midnight and, the little white candles went out one by one between Images 2 to 5am and 5.45 am it’s crazy (there are 5 candles) the black candle still shines at almost 7 am (the process is complete when You write the details in a book named « the book of the shadows » + I will also write in paper version In the mag)

Update (image 3 when I woke up) The ritual was carried out on the flyers sent by the astronomical society, for the next workshop.

You will see my name + infos looking for events in Paris for all consecutive years since the beginning except in 2019 I am referenced in Belgium because I was by the beach (where I come from) If the place changes, and all the updates, so the details of the workshop will be indicated in my web spaces and here on tumbr

I placed the salt pentagram in an envelope. I will place it in the book of shadows.

Yt blocked my vid twice so I will publish it next.

Believe it or not: two things happened at specific times, during the process and it was really positive and great in same time (I have evidence) My intentions on the necklaces were two intentions on two areas and one of the two revealed two significant events during the process but in fact the set of intentions revealed a set of positive things. I will write this.

About my work; all my wiki sheets have been destroyed by a person who attacks my work to obtain benefits in her country; and as you see that in my GIPHY Channel, she attacks my research and evolution timelines to blur my statements about acts committed in order to take advantage of it. The files have all been saved and, will be reinstalled on my website. In the meantime, I have to re-grant all the links, again. (The first attack on my work was in January 2021) it took a long time to repair; I couldn’t redo everything; I lost some really valuable stuff on which I applied myself for several months; in + I was attacked during the quantum physics exams and I missed my evaluation results (not my mastery of learning) It’s pitiful to be ugly, without talent and,without money and bad to the top of that;

Monday 26 (from midnight) To conclude, because I did not see it immediately, what do you see, about the rest of the black candle? I recovered this on the salt of the candlestick and I put it for the photo without realising what it looks like; this is particularly strange and very significant.In any case, it has a negative and then positive meaning. Unfortunately I threw it away since I hadn’t noticed (I will try to re found)

so there it is (update) It’s 1.45am and, the finished black candle shines with inlaid salt but a visible part in the photo is missing and, the meaning is no longer the same (visual) but I guess it’s one of the strange and not obvious things that happen during the process. I’m happy to keep it.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Procedure?

If you’ve been considering a way to enhance your facial features or reduce the visible signs of aging, dermal fillers in Mumbai offer a safe and effective solution. Dermal fillers are one of the most popular and non-invasive cosmetic treatments that have taken the world by storm. 

Whether you’re looking to smoothen wrinkles, plump your lips, or restore volume to sunken cheeks, dermal fillers can help you achieve a youthful, refreshed look without the need for surgery. This blog will guide you through what you can expect during your dermal filler procedure, so you can confidently step into your treatment knowing exactly what to anticipate.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable products that are injected to replace lost volume, soften wrinkles, and add facial contours. They may be injected to fill laugh lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds, or to plump the lips or the area under the eyes. Fillers actually replace lost collagen and add volume to sagging areas caused by age or other reasons.

Consultation: The First Step Toward a Confident You

Before undergoing any dermal filler procedure, your first step will be a consultation with a professional. At this consultation, your facial anatomy will be examined by the doctor and your desires discussed. Whatever your desire — subtle enhancement or more dramatic alteration — this is done to guarantee that your treatment is customized to fulfill your hopes.

What to Expect:

In-depth evaluation of your skin state.

Conversation on areas you prefer to address using dermal fillers.

Explanation of the types of fillers that would work best for you.

The consultation is your opportunity to ask any questions and clarify your doubts. A skilled specialist will be happy to explain the procedure step by step and ensure you’re fully informed before moving forward. This is also the best time to discuss any potential risks or side effects.

The Dermal Filler Procedure

Step-by-Step Procedure:

Cleansing the Skin: To ensure hygiene, the area to be treated will be cleansed thoroughly.

Numbing the Area: A numbing cream will be applied to reduce discomfort, helping you relax during the injection.

Injecting the Filler: A fine needle injects dermal filler into the target area, taking 15–45 minutes.

Massage and Shaping: After injection, the doctor will massage the area to evenly distribute the filler for desired results.

Is the Procedure Painful?

One common concern is pain. While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most patients report feeling little to no discomfort during the procedure. The numbing cream used before the injection makes the experience much more comfortable. Some mild swelling or redness is normal, but it typically fades within a few hours or a day.

Aftercare and Recovery

After your dermal filler treatment, there’s no need to worry about long recovery times. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.

Post-Treatment Tips:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for a few hours to allow the product to settle in.

Don’t engage in strenuous activity for at least 24–48 hours to minimize the risk of complications.

Ice packs can help reduce swelling and discomfort in the initial hours after the procedure.

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days to help prevent bruising.

One of the great benefits of dermal fillers is that you can resume most of your daily activities almost immediately. While you might want to skip any major social events for the first day, the results will be noticeable right away, with final results emerging over the next week.

Results and Longevity

Dermal fillers provide immediate results, but these may improve as swelling subsides. The results last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. Over time, your body naturally absorbs the filler, and you may need touch-up treatments to maintain your desired look.

Conclusion

For the best results, it’s important to consult with a skilled professional. Dr. Parag Telang, plastic and cosmetic surgeon at Designer Bodyz Centre in Mumbai specializes in providing excellent cosmetic treatments that will meet your individual needs. If you’re looking for a trusted plastic surgeon in India, Dr. Parag Telang and his team at Designer Bodyz Centre are here to help you achieve the best possible results.

How Metal Prices Influence A Scrap Car Value

Impact of Scrap Metal Prices on Scrap Car Value

Have you ever wondered how the value of your scrap car is decided? If you have been thinking of removing your salvaged car, you might have come across terms like ‘scrap car removal’ or ‘cash for scrap car. But here is the thing, your car’s value is not just about its condition or age. One major factor that impacts what you will get for your scrap car is the price of scrap metal. So, let’s know how the calculation works and why it matters the most.

Why Scrap Metal Prices Matter?

When you sell a scrap car, most of its value comes from the materials it’s made of. Cars are mainly made of steel, aluminum, copper, and other metals. These metals can be recycled and reused in multiple industries, from construction to electronics. As a result, the global demand for these materials affects how much your scrap car is worth.

If scrap metal prices are high, recycling centers and scrap yards will pay you more for your car. On the other side, when prices drop, you will get less cash for your scrap car. This is because the companies buying your vehicle need to make a profit, and their profit depends on how much they can sell the recycled metal for.

4 Factors That Influence Scrap Metal Prices

Multiple factors affect the fluctuation of scrap metal prices. So, it’s important to understand them if you want to increase your scrap car’s value. Here are the key factors:

1. Global Demand and Supply

The global economy plays a big role in scrap metal prices. If industries like construction or manufacturing are booming, the demand for steel, aluminum, and other metals increases. Contrarily, during economic slowdowns, the demand drops which leads to lower prices.

2. Market Conditions

The stock market, international trade policies, and even geopolitical events can impact the value of metals. For example, taxes or restrictions on metal imports and exports can cause sudden price spikes or drops.

3. Recycling Industry Trends

Changes in the recycling industry like new technologies or guidelines can also impact the value of scrap metals. If recycling processes become more efficient, it can lower costs and improve demand for scrap materials.

4. Transportation Costs

Scrap yards often consider transportation costs when valuing your vehicle. High fuel prices or logistical problems can lower the amount they offer.

How Scrap Metal Prices Affect Your Scrap Car’s Value?

When you sell your car to a scrapyard, they will evaluate your scrap car value based on its weight, the materials it contains, and the current metal price. Heavier vehicles, like SUVs or trucks, often fetch higher prices because they contain more metal. But the real game-changer is the price per ton of scrap metal when you sell.

For example, if the price of steel is $200 per ton today, you might get a decent payout for your car. But if steel prices drop to $150 per ton next week, your car’s value could decrease. That’s why timing matters when selling a scrap car.

How to Use a Scrap Car Value Calculator?

If you are wondering how much cash you can get for your scrap car, a scrap car value calculator is the best solution. These tools are easy to use and give you a quick estimate based on factors like your car’s make, model, weight, and current scrap metal prices.

How Scrap Car Value Calculator Works:

Enter basic details about your car, such as its year, make, and model.

Provide information about its overall condition, OEM parts, catalytic converter, etc.

The calculator analyzes all the factors and gives you an estimated value.

This saves you the hassle of negotiating or guessing the price. Plus, it helps you get a fair price based on current market rates.

Tips to Maximize Your Scrap Car’s Value

If you are ready to sell your scrap car, here are some tips to help you get the most cash possible:

Sell When Metal Prices Are High

Check scrap metal prices in your area. If you sell your car during a peak in the market then you can get a better price for your old vehicle.

2. Choose a Reliable Scrap Car Removal Service

Not all companies offer the same rates for scrap cars. Look for a service with good reviews and upfront pricing. Many services also offer free towing which can save you money.

3. Remove Valuable Parts

If you have the time and expertise, you can remove valuable components like the battery, tires, or catalytic converter before selling your car. These auto parts can be sold separately for extra cash.

4. Use a Scrap Car Value Calculator

As mentioned earlier, using a scrap car value calculator helps you to estimate your car price and saves you from accepting a low offer.

5. Negotiate

Don’t feel shy while negotiating with the buyer. If you know the current market value of scrap metal, you will be in a stronger position to get a better deal.

Why Scrap Car Removal Is a Smart Choice?

Selling your old car to a scrap car removal service has many advantages. First, it’s an eco-friendly way to dispose of a vehicle that’s no longer in use. By recycling the materials, you are helping reduce waste and save resources.

Second, it’s convenient. Most services handle the entire process, from picking up your car to completing the paperwork. They will even tow your vehicle for free, so you don’t have to worry about how to transport it.

Lastly, it’s a great way to earn quick cash. Instead of letting your car sit in your parking or pay for repairs that aren’t worth it, you can turn it into money while contributing to the recycling industry.

Wrapping Up

The value of your scrap car is closely connected to the fluctuating prices of scrap metal. Understanding these factors can help you make fair decisions about when and how to sell your car. By speculating market trends, using tools like a scrap car value calculator, and choosing a good scrap car removal service, you can earn good money. So, if you have been holding onto an old car, now it’s the perfect time to take action. You can contact Greenway Auto Recycling to sell your old car. We offer you a fair quote and instant cash payment. So, dial our official phone line and get a bunch of benefits.

11.5 Million Jobs by 2025: Why Now Is the Best Time to Be a Data Analyst

In today’s increasingly digital environment, data has become the foundation for decision-making across businesses. Organizations ranging from global businesses to startups are using data analytics to acquire insights, predict trends, and drive business strategy. This reliance on data is creating a tremendous demand for trained data workers, with 11.5 million new employment forecast in data analytics by 2025. If you want a career with significant development potential and job stability, now is the time to become a data analyst.

The Increased Demand for Data Analysts

According to the World Economic Forum’s “Future of Jobs” report, data analysts and scientists are among the top ten career roles that will see growth in the near future. The emergence of artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning has altered the way businesses function, resulting in an increase in demand for people who can understand and extract actionable insights from massive datasets.

This trend is not specific to one industry. To remain competitive, tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, as well as organizations in healthcare, finance, retail, and e-commerce, are spending substantially in data analytics. Whether it’s optimizing supply chains, forecasting consumer behavior, improving health outcomes, or improving financial forecasts, data analytics has become an essential function in almost every industry.

Indeed, a 40% increase in data-related jobs is expected over the next five years. This surge in job prospects is being driven by an increased dependence on data-driven decision-making, as organizations recognise analytics’ competitive edge in improving efficiency, productivity, and creativity.

Why are companies investing in data analytics?

The exponential expansion of data generation, combined with technological improvements, has made data analytics crucial to organizations. Every day, organizations acquire massive amounts of data, ranging from customer contacts, social media activities, and transactions to operational procedures, supply chains, and financial statements. However, raw data has little value until it is analyzed, evaluated, and converted into actionable insights.

Here’s why data analytics is critical in today’s job market:

Better Decision-Making: Data analytics allows businesses to get insights into trends, patterns, and behaviors that were previously concealed in massive data sets. With this knowledge, organizations may make better, more informed decisions, enhancing both short-term operations and long-term strategies.

Predictive Analytics: Using past data and algorithms, businesses may estimate future events and trends. Predictive analytics enables firms to anticipate changes in customer demand, uncover developing market possibilities, and mitigate potential hazards.

Cost Reduction and Efficiency: Data analytics assists organizations in optimizing resources and lowering costs by discovering inefficiencies in processes and operations. Whether it’s optimizing marketing campaigns or streamlining logistics, data analytics helps firms run more efficiently.

Personalized Customer Experiences: In today’s customer-centric industry, personalized experiences are essential for brand loyalty. Companies utilize data analytics to better understand their customers’ preferences and behaviors, allowing them to adjust their products, services, and marketing efforts to their specific needs.

The Skills You Need to Succeed in Data Analysis

As the demand for data analysts develops, so will the need for people with the necessary skills. To succeed in this sector, aspiring data analysts must master a combination of technical and analytical skills, such as:

Proficiency with Data Tools: Python, R, SQL, and data visualization systems such as Tableau are required for data analysis and interpretation.

Statistical Knowledge: Understanding how to apply statistical methods to real-world issues is essential for gaining meaningful insights from data.

Critical Thinking: A data analyst must be able to approach challenges methodically, deconstruct large datasets, and uncover patterns that produce corporate value.

Communication Skills: The ability to explain findings effectively and concisely to non-technical stakeholders is just as vital as technical knowledge.

Many academic programs and certification courses, including those given by CACMS Institute, provide hands-on training in these areas, preparing students to meet companies’ rising needs.

Unlocking High-Paying, In-Demand Positions

With data analytics positions in high demand, data experts attract competitive pay. According to Glassdoor, the average income for a data analyst in the United States ranges between $70,000 and $100,000 per year, depending on experience and area. Specialized roles in machine learning and data science can pay much more, with several posts exceeding the six-figure level.

Aside from the strong income potential, data analytics also offers excellent job stability. As organizations continue to recognise the importance of data, the demand for competent data professionals is projected to stay high for many years. By 2025, data-driven positions such as data analyst, data scientist, and business intelligence specialist will be critical to the success of businesses across industries.

Why is it the perfect time to become a data analyst?

The time is ideal for getting started in data analytics. With 11.5 million job opportunities expected globally by 2025, demand for data professionals is surpassing supply, making now an excellent time to build the skills required to fill these positions.

As organizations across industries continue to collect and rely on data, the demand for data analysts will only grow. Aspiring professionals can get the experience and qualifications required to capitalize on these opportunities by enrolling in a comprehensive data analytics program, such as the one provided by CACMS Institute. Whether you want to enter the workforce, change careers, or improve in your existing position, data analytics provides a future-proof pathway to success.

I want to believe this. I really do.

Williams' statement is standard boilerplate for this situation, entirely compatible with Williams having mentioned the concussion. Perhaps I no longer like the ambiguity constructed by what is not being said, in the context of other developments in F1.

However… nothing in the link says a concussion or any other form of head injury was mentioned or tested for. MotoGP has started reaping the consequences of obscuring a drop in testing quantity and quality in concussions, and I don't want F1 to follow suit, because having a good solid testing protocol sometimes isn't the complete solution one would hope it to be.

I'm going to take the opportunity to talk about F1's concussion protocol. This is because it is the first sport to have a concussion protocol at all, and as such it has some differences in how it operates compared to other sports' protocols.

F1 Concussion Protocol (historically)

Sid Watkins devised F1's first concussion protocol in 1998, with help from Gary Hartstein (his deputy) and Indycar doctors Steve Olvey and Terry Trammell. This used a combination of three tools: 1) Baseline testing. At the start of the season, Sid Watkins got every driver to complete a series of tests. Jacques Villenueve, anticipating a problem that rugby has notably had in subsequent years, suggested he could deliberately underperform at baseline to maximise his chances of returning to play in the event of a crash. Gary told him that if he caught anyone underperforming, he'd ban them from competing for a month because he would assume they already had a concussion. In the end, the competitive nature of drivers meant that they performed their best - drivers wanted to be able to tell others in their gossiping sessions that they'd beaten (or held their own) against each other.

2) Computerised assessment of responses. Using a computer program, Sid and Gary were able to consistently check drivers at the medical centre after large accidents. Eventually, the threshold was set at 15 G because in F1, accidents below this rarely result in anything worse than minor soreness and bruising. The computer remembered previous responses and used them to help make an objective diagnosis. For many years, ImPACT was used, though I do not know whether this or a different program is now used. Originally, this took 20 minutes to run, including some gaps in between tests (while the computer worked out the results) that made space for tool #3:

3) Asking questions. There's a certain subjective evaluation to assessing a concussion, although there are systems that allow a lot of them to be identified objectively. Concussion often affects how someone arrives at an answer, which in 1998 wasn't something a computer could assess very well. However, if a driver said something completely out-of-character or was obviously a guess at the correct answer instead of simply recalling it from memory, a human doctor can make the correct diagnosis that way. The F1 protocol, unlike many other sports, specifically allowed return to competition at the same event if it was possible to medically demonstrate that recovery was likely to have occurred. However, it had and as far as I know still has a high threshold for that permission.

Possible Issues With the Procedure

The protocol is not foolproof, and it does rely on drivers making sure they self-monitor for aggravation of symptoms when next in the car. Nobody has yet devised a concussion protocol that 100% reliably assesses someone for driving at over 100 mph while they are sitting in a medical centre, nor is this likely to occur.

It also depends on the FIA being given accurate information. This doesn't always happen. Max Verstappen and Red Bull hid the fact that Max had a concussion during parts of the second half of 2021 successfully, until after the FIA could penalise either for doing so. Earlier than that, in Sochi 2016, Carlos Sainz somehow managed to get through one of these evaluations without mentioning to the medical team he had concussion (and without anyone on his team doing so either). Hopefully this makes my lingering concern about this matter make more sense. (As well as why I think the FIA did the best they could with the Colapinto situation, regardless of what information it did or did not have).

i dont want to defend williams but like some of you need to start fact checking. franco was medically cleared to race. williams didn't make him race while medically unfit. chill out
