 <p>The ending to the old guard 2 comic was just so mid. Complaining under the cut</p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>It&#39;s revealed that in the distant past (probably upwards of thousands of years ago) Andy was a slaveowner. This obviously pissed Nile right off. I wish Nile was allowed to have a more emotional reaction, but she basically says either you&#39;re with us or you&#39;re part of the problem. And then because Andy is too depressed to stand, Nile and the rest all leave her. That&#39;s where Noriko and her henchmen find her later. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>For one thing, owning slaves is terrible. But it was literally pre-civilisation as we know it. Six thousand years ago. A crime is a crime, but Andromache states that there was no alternative to POWs captured during raids apart from mass-execution, and to be honest, I kind of agree. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>For another, many of them likely bear similar crimes. Crusaders executed unarmed prisoners they couldn&#39;t afford to feed, both muslims and christians committed pogroms, arab muslims engaged in slave trade in north africa far before europeans did... I&#39;m not saying yusuf or nicolo did any of these, but when you live a thousand years, it would also be weird to *never* have any hand in anything like that at all. Even in the modern day it&#39;s almost impossible not to financially support modern slavery through buying cheap clothes. It&#39;s a dirty world. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>I wish Andy had done something in the present to alienate her team. Like, refused to rescue Booker because the time limit wasn&#39;t up, even though he was being tortured. Or to go after Noriko herself even though the others don&#39;t trust her an inch. Andromache was very depressed and apathetic in this comic, but she&#39;s a very proactive character and I think if the loneliness started to eat at her she&#39;s more likely to be self destructive than withdrawn. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>Noriko&#39;s motivations make no sense. She was killed over and over by the impassive sea, so she&#39;s decided she needs to punish humanity. Humanity had no role in your deaths?? </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>Maybe it would have been too similar to the first book&#39;s villain, but said something like &#34;We immortals cannot die from illness or old age. Therefore, we are destined for thousands of violent deaths. We are demons put on this earth to wage eternal war. If we want peace, we need to remove ourselves.&#34;</p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>And then the thematic discussion would be: can a soldier be a force for good, or is any form of violence immoral? They&#39;ve killed a lot of people for one &#34;justified&#34; cause or another. And they&#39;ve been wrong before. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>It would also make sense for Noriko -- she was an assassin, and now that shes &#34;reformed&#34;, all she&#39;s really done is swap one victim for another. </p>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <p>But really, the pacing scuppered the book. Volumes of comics are always around 5 issues, and the author wasted about 3 full issues on vague set-up and hinting at Noriko as a major threat when really she&#39;s just anti-Andy, so the idea that she can end all 5 of them on her own is a bit silley. </p>

Anyone else on the planet or this timeline wondering what or who they need to sell, to get more old guard comic stories or the freaking movie sequel?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   I can appreciate Booker was drunk longer, Quynh/Noriko was trapped longer, Joe and Nicky have loved longer and Andromache has lived longer but for this mere mortal this wait is something else.

Ideas For Learning About Forces and Motion
2020-05-30
Emma Vanstone
<div><div><p>Forces are all around us and affect everything we do. With that in mind, I’ve put together a collection of <strong>ideas for learning about forces and motion</strong> with fun forces and motion experiments for everyone, from preschoolers to grown-ups. There are friction experiments, gravity experiments, air resistance experiments, and lots more! Each activity is easy to set up and works well as a science project for home or school.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a book full of force experiments, <strong><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-Rocket-Science-Activity-Guide/dp/1624145248/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&amp;keywords=this+is+rocket+science&amp;qid=1590843558&amp;quartzVehicle=842-813&amp;replacementKeywords=this+rocket+science&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mummummum-21&amp;linkId=c3cfcc2d981f99c061aa1fd4d110ebdc&amp;language=en_GB">This IS Rocket Science</a></strong> might be just what you’re looking for! It contains SEVENTY experiments all about the forces involved in space travel!</p>

<p>Let’s start with some basics.</p>
<h2>Forces and Motion – <strong>What is a force?</strong></h2>
<p>A force is a push or a pull. Forces can make objects move or stop, speed them up or slow them down. If you push a toy car it moves, if you push it harder it moves faster. Forces can also make objects change direction or shape.</p>
<p>A lighter object needs less force to move than a heavier object. For example you could push an empty box easily, but a filled box would be harder, it would need more force to move.</p>
<p>If you give a toy car a push what happens? It speeds up and then slows down. The reason it slows down is because of two forces, air resistance and friction.</p>
<p><strong>Air resistance</strong> is air pushing on a moving object which slows it down.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.science-sparks.com/friction-and-speed/">Friction</a></strong> is the force between two objects when you rub them together. Try rubbing your hands together? Do they get hot? You feel the friction between your hands as heat.</p>
<p><strong>Air resistance</strong> and <strong>friction</strong> take time to slow an object down, if you want an object to stop quickly you need to apply further force, for example a brake on a bike.</p>
<p>Other examples of forces are magnetism, gravity and air pressure.</p>
<p>Over the years we’ve completed lots of forces experiments on Science Sparks, here are the best ones.</p>
<p>Learn about simple <a href="https://www.science-sparks.com/simple-science-push-and-pull/"><strong>push and pull forces</strong></a> in this easy activity.</p>
<h2><strong>Friction</strong> Experiments for Kids</h2>
<h3>What is Friction?</h3>
<p>Friction tries to stop objects sliding past each other. <strong>Friction</strong> allows things to start and stop moving and slows them down.</p>
<p>Imagine sliding two strips of ribbon over each other and then think how hard it would be with two velcro strips. There is more friction between the velcro strips than the ribbon. The amount of friction between two objects depends on what the objects are made from. The rougher the surface the more friction is produced, this is why rockets are streamlined!</p>

 Ideas For Learning About Forces and Motion

 May 30, 2020 By Emma Vanstone 7 Comments

 Forces are all around us and affect everything we do. With that in mind, I’ve put together a collection of ideas for learning about forces and motion with fun forces and motion experiments for everyone, from preschoolers to grown-ups. There are friction experiments, gravity experiments, air resistance experiments, and lots more! Each activity is easy to set up and works well as a science project for home or school.

 If you’re looking for a book full of force experiments, This IS Rocket Science might be just what you’re looking for! It contains SEVENTY experiments all about the forces involved in space travel!
