Synod rehearsals in the name of "forbidden to forbid"
Overcoming divisions and oppositions in the Church by creating a space where everyone can find their place. This is the approach that is being insistently proposed in preparation for the Synod, as demonstrated by the recent conference in Bologna by Father Timothy Radcliffe, the pro-LGBT Dominican called to preach the opening spiritual exercises. But it is also the position closest to the portrait of the Antichrist sketched by Vladimir Solov'ev.
The choice of Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe as preacher of the short course of preparatory Spiritual Exercises to the October Synod was not very reassuring news, given his 'openness' towards LGBTQ issues. This means there will be a gay-friendly Dominican to prepare the souls for the Synod. Conducting the orchestra will be another friend of the rainbow world (see here), the general rapporteur of the Synod, Jean-Claude Hollerich, created cardinal by Pope Francis in 2019. And that makes two. In the all-inclusive vein is the recent intervention on the Synod by another 'creature' of Francis, the newly created Cardinal Robert McElroy, Bishop of San Diego, who has pushed for the diaconal ordination of women, for a reconsideration of their ordination as priests, for a revision of Catholic sexual morality, including on homosexuality, and of the Church's teaching on the state of grace in order to receive the Holy Eucharist. And that makes three.
Furthermore, what's uniting the three is the call to overcome divisions and oppositions in the Church, to move away from the dynamics of a political context rather than of a community guided by the Holy Spirit. In their vision, the Synod is called to enlarge the space of its tent to include everyone, to overcome polarisations, creating a space where everyone can find their place and no one is excluded.
This path was indicated with greater clarity by Father Radcliffe in a recent speech in Bologna (here from minute 44:22, and then again from minute 1:17:26); an indication that could be precisely the central theme of his lectures during the Spiritual Exercises, with the potential to orient the Synod towards an unconditional inclusivism.
Father Radcliffe's talk on 29 January was part of the cycle of meetings 'Small School of Synodality', organised by the Foundation for Religious Sciences in Bologna and the Theological Faculty of Emilia Romagna, in the church of S. Maria della Pietà, in which, until recently, the only Mass in the ancient rite recognised in the Bologna diocese was celebrated, and which was recently removed from divine worship by Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.
Radcliffe began by presenting the fears of many who believe that the synodal path has strayed from 'the straight and narrow' and will lead to "divisions and disappointments in the Church". On the one hand, there are indeed people who desire "a return to the security of the Church of the past; for example, to the Tridentine Rite of the Mass. For others, this is a denial of the Council. Some people desire a Church in which the divorced and remarried are allowed to receive Communion, but for others this constitutes a betrayal of marriage. Some want priests to be able to marry, for others this would be the terrible loss of an admirable tradition".
"It is true that the Church is divided by hopes for different futures," continues the Dominican, who exhorts us to look to a greater and more surprising hope that the Lord has in store and that would be able to reconcile opposing hopes. It is precisely in this vertical thrust, in the reliance on 'God's creative grace', that Radcliffe's reflection becomes particularly attractive. And insidious. Especially when he adds that God's creativity must be matched by the creativity of Christians: "Let us therefore dare to be creative by the creativity of God's grace".
But how do we open ourselves to welcome this 'creative grace'? By freeing ourselves from those "identities that are constructed against other people [...]. Modernity fears difference: difference of creed, of ideology, of culture, and even of gender". The way is therefore to support diversity regardless rather than uniformity regardless, avoiding creating groups that share the same principles as opposed to others, "trapped in closed environments with people who share the same slogans". The evangelical support that is always useful is that of Jesus, who, eating with publicans and prostitutes, went down the road of 'unlikely friendships', thus breaking down barriers. We must, according to Radcliffe, leave behind "small identities built on exclusion and opposition. The Synod is the unlikely gathering of God's friends".
The challenge of the Synod is therefore "to imagine why people think differently"; to put oneself in each person's shoes, "to feel with their skin, to see with their eyes", to go beyond rational argumentation, in itself insufficient. Opposing positions are necessary, like threads in weaving. Not only that, but when there are differences, "we must learn to rejoice in those differences, take pleasure in those differences. Only then can we talk about the deeper differences".
Good Fr. Radcliffe should be reminded that not all differences are equal: there is a difference that is a manifestation of God's manifold wisdom and there is a difference that is called sin. Just as there is uniformity without which it is impossible to be saved and uniformity with which it is impossible to be saved. The point is that God's Revelation has also given us some indication in this regard, and not in an interlocutory tone, but in an imperative one: "Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God". (1 Cor 6:9-10).
We must be vigilant; the turn that the Synod could take has a certain attraction: the fundamental principle of condemning all exclusivism - the only condemnation allowed -, could seduce many to seek their place in the new 'Synodal Church', at the price of silence towards sin and error. An adherence, in essence, to the 1968 mantra 'banning is banned', suitably updated in ecclesial sauce.
It should be remembered that this position is closer to the portrait of the Antichrist, sketched by Vladimir Solov'ev, than to that of a wrathful tyrant. The great universal peacemaker particularly cares that each may have his own: "I will give to all men what is necessary for them". And he actually keeps his promise, even with regard to the different Christian sensitivities. Just as he is also willing to recognise Christ as the source of inspiration for high values. But this Christ must finally be outdone, with a more universal inclusivism, which he was unable to achieve: "Christ, as a moralist, divided men according to good and evil, whereas I will unite them with the benefits that are equally necessary to the good and the evil. I will be the true representative of that God who makes his sun rise for the good and the evil, and distributes the rain on the just and the unjust. Christ brought the sword, I will bring peace. He has threatened the Earth with the terrible last judgement. But I will be the last judgement, and my judgement will not only be a judgement of justice but also a judgement of mercy".

Paul T. Taylor is the latest individual that will be donning the lead cenobite's gear in the upcoming Hellraiser film. I know…. I know… I thought the same thing at first. No one can possibly live up to Doug Bradley's iconic performance that shaped the role so perfectly. Let's hold back for a minute and give this guy a chance. He is incredibly passionate about the role and the franchise! He is a horror fan at heart and in this interview, you will see why he might just pull it off!
Pophorror: Approaching this role, what did you hope to bring to the character that hasn't been done before?
Paul T. Taylor: I wanted Pinhead to have a certain level of vulnerability that hadn't been seen before. Not too much, of course, but the script actually called for it. He has a moment of bravado that results in an incredibly disturbing development in Pinhead's existence… an acceptance with a tinge of boredom.
Pophorror: It is incredibly exciting knowing that this was an authentic Hellraiser script. Can you give us insight as to how this movie explores Hell differently than Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 did?
Paul T. Taylor: Yes, it is exciting! I'm very happy with Gary J. Tunnicliffe's script, which came from his Clive Barker-lovin' heart. The only thing I want to say about the different way it explores Hell is that it looks behind the scenes at the creatures and mechanisms that process the souls after they have been sucked into the void that is Leviathan.
Pophorror: In the original series, Pinhead was always portrayed as this emotionless shell with no mercy. Would you say that your Pinhead is more – or less – malicious than the original? Does he show more emotion behind his sadistic acts?
Paul T. Taylor: Well, I've already answered that question to a certain extent with #1. But I would say he is just as delighted with his sadistic acts as ever…. And that delight leads to mischief for him.
Pophorror: What preparation did you do to become Pinhead?
Paul T. Taylor: I spent a lot of time alone in my darkened house in South Oak Cliff in Dallas and walking around the neighborhood, which is a pretty brave thing to do at night around here. I had no fear though. I was Pinhead and nobody could fuck with me. I also sat on my front porch and smoked (not a habit I kept, btw) and said the lines over and over and over and over until they felt second nature to me. I fortunately had a lot of time to prepare before shooting. I've done a lot of theater in my career, spending weeks and weeks rehearsing. With Hellraiser: Judgement (and all films), rehearsals are very limited. I felt myself changing daily, developing a Pinhead armor.
Pophorror: How does the film tie in to the rest of the Hellraiser universe?
Paul T. Taylor: We have Pinhead and Chatterer and the Lament Configuration (Puzzlebox), of course. A lot of this movie is creating and exploring another plane in which these things exist. It's directly related to everything that has come before it, but it's only relation to some of the other Hellraiser films is the presence of Pinhead. It's still about the processing of souls in preparation of an eternity of suffering.
Pophorror: What was your favorite part of filming this movie?
Paul T. Taylor: Just being Pinhead. Anytime I was working on a scene was my favorite. The process of filmmaking is all about everything that leads to what happens between "Action" and "Cut." It's magical. Playing an icon brings with it a great amount of responsibility. Knowing I was up to the challenge gave me the confidence to relax and enjoy tearing souls apart.
Pophorror: What was the most difficult aspect of taking on this role?
Paul T. Taylor: The pressure that came with the character as created and developed by Doug Bradley and Clive Barker. People love Bradley in the role and I put a lot of pressure on myself to create a Pinhead that paid homage to what had come before and at the same time to make it my own, honoring the original description of Pinhead in Barkers' The Hellbound Heart.
Pophorror: Was there anything surprising about taking on this role that you didn't foresee?
Paul T. Taylor: Having a nicotine overdose on set! I attempted to do one of Pinhead's lines with smoke coming out of my mouth. I had temporarily taken up smoking, not only to make my voice lower and more gravelly, but also so that I could do the smoky line. I tried so many times I OD'd on nicotine and had to leave the set for 20 minutes. I haven't picked up a cigarette since that day! But seriously, I wasn't surprised by anything except, as a friend texted me, my "instant cult status." I've been in show business for 35 years and suddenly I'm experiencing fame at a certain level. It's weird and wonderful.
Pophorror: What do you want the audience to know about the film before going to see it?
Paul T. Taylor: It's a true Hellraiser film, written and directed by Gary J. Tunnicliffe, who is a true Hellraiser fan and someone who has been involved with the franchise since Hellraiser 3: Hell On Earth. I am also a true Hellraiser fan, who has had all of the action figures since they came out in the early '90s. I'm not just some actor who got a part in a horror film – I am a horror fanatic!
Pophorror: What is one exclusive insight about this movie, or your character, that you can share with us?
Paul T. Taylor: There's a puppy involved.
Pophorror: Ooh! Intriguing! When can we look forward to seeing this film for ourselves?
Paul T. Taylor: I wish I knew! When I know, you'll know!
One thing is for sure, I have never been more excited for a Hellraiser sequel since Bloodline! To know that this was birthed and nurtured from the minds of true horror and Hellraiser fans makes me incredibly optimistic at how all of this will turn out. Hellraiser 3: Hell On Earth is one of my favorite entries. So, if Gary J. Tunnicliffe is a part of it, than I am all in! What do you guys think of this Hellraiser news? Let us know in the comments below and keep your eyes out for the latest updates here at Pophorror!


text: I'd like to bring something up which I am not really sure belongs in an appendix to R^5RS. Unlike "lambda*" and "procedures with operations" (both of which I support), the following proposals do not affect the Scheme language--only the runtime system. What I want is the ability to do portable low-level systems programming in Scheme. This requires the ability to do low-level (storage) representation mapping. A desired feature is to be able to free storage allocated by a static heap allocator such as C's malloc, close unused ports, etc. when associated values are no longer live. Higher-level facilities such as foreign structure/record support and window systems can be built upon these services. The reason I am bringing this up is that proposals below are reasonably easy to add to implementations, but impossible to do in standard Scheme. So I really have 2 questions: [A] Is R^NRS the place to bring this type or proposal up (if not, where)? [B] What do you think of the specific proposals? Thanks in advance, -Ken email@example.com =============================================================== PROPOSAL [1]: `object finalization' =============================================================== The interface I propose for object finalization is: (REGISTER-FOR-FINALIZATION <object> <thunk>) -> unspecified Notes: When <object> is collected, <thunk> is executed. Executing <thunk> should never allocate (cons) storage. =============================================================== PROPOSAL [2]: `abstract stores' =============================================================== PRIMARY REASON DE ETRA: Random & Binary i/o. BASIC IDEA: A (binary) store with size and permissions. DISCUSSION: The Store abstraction allows one to deal with low-level file, unscanned-vector, and computer memory `objects', allowing device drivers, file systems, compilers, linkers, and other system programs to be written directly in Scheme. An implementation may supply predefined stores which map to computer memory or memory mapped devices. Memory which remains fixed, e.g. C structs and Pascal records, can be mapped as stores and dereferenced. Memory can be copied to memory, file to file, file to memory, etc. SYNOPSIS: ; predicate (STORE? obj) -> #t or #f ; creation (MAKE-STORE num-bytes . fill-integer) -> store (MAKE-STORE num-bytes fill-integer . permissions) -> store (MAP-STORE start end . permissions) -> store (MAKE-STATIC-STORE num-bytes . fill-integer) -> store (MAKE-STATIC-STORE num-bytes fill-integer . permissions) -> store (FILE->STORE path) -> store ; access (PERMISSIONS store) -> 'read-only 'read+write or 'write-only (ENDIAN store) -> 'big-endian or 'little-endian (STORE-LENGTH store) -> num-bytes (STORE-REF-BYTE store address) -> integer (STORE-REF-WORD store address) -> integer (STORE-REF-LONG store address) -> integer (STORE-REF-CHAR store address) -> character (STORE-SLICE->STRING store start end) -> string (STORE->FILE store path) -> path (WRITE-STORE-SLICE store start end . port) -> unspecified ; mutation (STORE-SET-PERMISSIONS! store permissions) -> permissions {?unspecified?} (STORE-SET-BYTE! store address integer) -> integer {?unspecified?} (STORE-SET-WORD! store address integer) -> integer {?unspecified?} (STORE-SET-LONG! store address integer) -> integer {?unspecified?} (STORE-SET-CHAR! store address character) -> character {?unspecified?} (STRING->STORE-SLICE-SET! string store start) -> unspecified (STORE-SLICE->STORE-SLICE-SET! store1 start1 end1 store2 start2) -> unspecified optional: (STORE-REF-IEEE-SINGLE->REAL store address) -> real (STORE-REF-IEEE-DOUBLE->REAL store address) -> real (STORE-REF-IEEE-EXTENDED->REAL store address) -> real (STORE-SET-IEEE-SINGLE! store address real) -> unspecified (STORE-SET-IEEE-DOUBLE! store address real) -> unspecified (STORE-SET-IEEE-EXTENDED! store address real) -> unspecified ... NOTES: Permissions are used to allow EPROM memory and read-only files to signal an error upon assignment. Default permissions are 'read+write. An error is also signaled if an integer of greater size than the unit is assigned [byte = 8 bits; word = 2 bytes; long = 4 bytes, ...]. Stores are zero based. There is no requirement for storage alignment above the byte level {e.g. (store-ref-long <store> 3) is ok}. Store finalization is provided. I.e. when a store representing statically alloc'ed memory is collected, the memory is free'ed; when a store representing a port is collected, the port is closed. A Scheme character is of implementation-dependent size (e.g. Japanese or Chinese characters may be multi-byte quantities). Returned integers are always non-negative. Endian ordering matters only in the store-set-*! and store-ref-* operations. The *-slice-* operations do the proper endian transforms as required. NOTA BENE: This data type has no print representation. ISSUES: No file extension is provided for {one can use write-store-slice}. There is no support for specifying and mapping between multiple address spaces. [ (map-virtual-store ...) ? ] I really don't like returning unspecified values. Can we agree to return the *old* values on mutations marked as {?unspecified?}, above? ;; --- E O F ---

The semantic slip followed by the gesture going all the way.
As one strokes a cat and feels the ridgy skull beneath the fur and tickles
It behind its ears. The cat twists its head and moves it toward your fingers
Like the lifting thighs of someone fucked, moving up to meet the stroke.
The sun strokes all now in this zone, reaching in through windows to jell
That's from Hymn to Life by James Schuyler.
This is from Robert Penn Warren "American Portrait: Old Style" — describing the life path of a friend talented for baseball …
To pass through to what? No, not
To some wild white peak dreamed westward,
And each sunrise a promise to keep. No, only
The Big Leagues, not even a bird dog,
And girls that popped gum while they screwed.Yes, this was his path, and no batter
Could do what booze finally did:
Just blow him off the mound — but anyway,
And I turn to Gregory Mahrer to summarize in an abstract fashion the progression from words and gesture:
The technique is quite simple — a few thrown
breaths followed by a series of gestural forays —
from "Ideograph" in A Provisional Map of the Lost Continent.
And so for day 1724

"Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." (John 6:31-34)
At the completion of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (the Passover) in Luke 22, is also the completion of the Original Passover Covenant. Then Jesus said: "I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal with you before my suffering begins. For I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until it's meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. Then he said, "Take this and share it among yourselves. For I will not drink wine again until the Kingdom of God has come." He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. After supper he took another cup of wine and said, "This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you." (Luke 22:15-20)
Now and forever we in are in covenant with The Bread.
"This is my body, which is given for you." Jesus

If you love watching Naruto anime, then this article is for you! Get ready to explore some of the sexiest female characters from the show.
These characters have been ranked based on their attractiveness, sex appeal and hotness quotient. From Fuka to Temari, these sexy women have left no stone unturned in setting temperatures soaring through their hot and bold presence.
Are you a fan of Naruto? Then read this article to find out who ruled as the hottest female character from the series. So get ready to experience some 'eye candy:
21. Hana
Meet Hana, the sexiest female character from Naruto. She is a highly skilled medic-nin and master of poison in the series. Born in Sunagakure, Hana's life focused on excelling in medical studies and helping out at her family's clinic.
Although she was able to rise to the rank of jounin, or ninja elite, her passion for medicine convinced her to remain as a medic instead of becoming an active fighting ninja.
Her skills certainly deserve that title of "sexiest" – not only is Hana gorgeous and confident with her hip-length red hair and signature purple samurai kimono, but she also wears a short skirt despite being a medic.
Her adeptness in healing allies is accompanied by the lethal control over powerful poisons found beneath her ninja glove. Not even Orochimaru could figure out what made them so deadly.
20. Fuka
She is a princess from the Land of Beasts and is also the former head of the Fuuma Village. Her physical attributes are as alluring as her empowered yet gentle personality.
Fuka has long ebony hair with ivory-coloured eyes and a daring attitude to match. When it comes to clothing and fashion sense, she sports a sky blue yukata typically adorned with delicate red flowers and makes use of her beauty with her signature winking technique.
Even when facing difficult opponents during battle, she doesn't shy away, always finding an opening to launch powerful attacks such as Chakra Enhanced Strike and Energy Transfer.
Despite her power and ferocity in combat, fans always remember how graceful she is outside of it as well. Sexy while strong-willed, Fuka may very well be our favourite female ninja-in-training!
19. Pakura
Pakura has held a special place in the hearts of Naruto fans for many years. As one of the sexiest female characters in the show, she is a strong, independent, and caring person.
She is a fierce shinobi from Sunagakure and a member of her village's samurai corps during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Pakura stands out from other characters due to her bright lavender hair, playful attitude, and tendency to wear skimpy outfits that highlight her attractive curves.
She is also renowned for her excellent ninjutsu techniques and her Kazegan no Jutsu skill which enables her to create blinding sand storms. Fans have come to admire Pakura not only because of her stunning appearance but also due to her power and personality.
Despite facing multiple adversaries like Kimimaro, Deidara and even members of Akatsuki with his strength and bravery throughout the series, she still looks cool and reliable while protecting others she loves.
Seeing how powerful yet gentle she is has caught the attention and love of Naruto fans around the world, making her one of the sexiest female characters in animated history.
18. Yugao
 Yugao Uzuki is considered among Naruto fans one of the sexiest female characters of all time. With her bright honey-coloured eyes, graceful build and bold attitude, she has charmed many.
Yugao's strong loyalty to Konoha Village knows no bounds, and she is always willing to help protect those who are in danger.
She doesn't give up easily, even when faced with powerful opponents such as the Akatsuki organization members or Haku. Yugao also held high positions within the village and was admired by teammates like Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi.
Her stealthiness and agility are unparalleled in her team, making her an efficient weapon against enemy forces. Although she can be serious at times, she always maintains an air of dignity about her that is both mysterious and alluring.
17. Guren
Guren is one of the hottest female characters in the Naruto series! Her sheer sex appeal is an appealing part of her character, matched by her incredible strength and abilities. She's known as a masterful swordsman with deadly fighting prowess.
Her signature attack, Four Crimson Fists, allows her to take out multiple opponents with one skilled move! Guren also has exceptional willpower which allows her to fight against great odds and come out on top.
Aside from her physical strength and beauty, she is also an expert strategist and thinker. Her brain, coupled with her brawn, makes Guren both stunningly beautiful and incredibly dangerous in battle.
16. Ameno
Ameno, from the popular anime series Naruto, is one of the sexiest female characters. She has a rebellious attitude and impressive ninja skills that make her stand out from the other Shinobi in the Konoha village. Her signature blue hair, tanned skin and fiery gaze distinguish Ameno even further.
As well as being beautiful, Ameno can kick butt – she demonstrates on numerous occasions an impressive array of powerful jutsus that puts fear into her enemies until they are forced to retreat! Her strength of heart against all odds makes Ameno even more attractive and compelling.
Despite trials and obstacles encountered along her journey in Naruto, Ameno perseveres to eventually become one of Konoha's most skilled ninjas.
Simply put, Ameno is gorgeous inside and out – from her undeniable beauty to her kind-hearted spirit and fierce fighting prowess.
15. Samui
Samui from the Naruto series is an incredibly remarkable female character. A master of both hand-to-hand combat and kenjutsu, Samui also employs a variety of hand seals and focuses on precise wind manipulation.
Her loyalty to both her team and Konohagakure is undying, and she stands up for her convictions no matter the cost.
In addition to being a powerful shinobi, Samui's beauty is stunning in its simplicity: her pale skin, full lips, and dark eyes all come together to create a devastatingly attractive whole. Behind this fearsome facade lies a gentle soul who values friendship above all else.
14. Mabui
Mabui is one of the most talked about characters in Naruto. She is known for her beauty, intelligence and bravery. As an ANBU member, she was dedicated to protecting the village from any threats and faced many dangerous enemies without fear.
Not only was Mabui beautiful physically, but she also had a gorgeous and powerful spirit that captivated everyone around her. With her thick blonde hair tied back in a ponytail and golden eyes that were full of life and passion, Mabui was quite the sight to behold, and there's no denying that fans found her attractive.
The epitome of strength and femininity, Mabui's reliable presence had helped out many ninjas more times than we could count.

She is a powerful kunoichi and captain of the Second Division of Kumogakure's Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shoin War – showing not only physical strength but also mental prowess.
In addition to being a formidable opponent in battle, Mei's personality gives her an edge over other female characters as she is best known for her compassion and wisdom, which has captivated audiences since making an appearance in Naruto Shippuden.
As an inspirational figure, she has inspired generations with her courage, respect and resilience while keeping true to herself – a trait greatly admired by all.
12. Shizuka
It's no surprise that Shizuka is rated one of the sexiest female characters in Naruto. With her curvaceous figure, piercing eyes and long silver hair, it's enough to make any fan blush. But Shizuka is more than just a pretty face.
She has shown strong-willed leadership qualities, intelligence and emotional strength when faced with difficult battle situations in the show. Knowing she only had herself to rely on made her stronger, more determined and fearless in dealing with enemies.
Furthermore, her risky gambit of trusting Sasuke despite his overwhelming darkness made her even more endearing and worthy as a character to many fans. As such, Shizuka easily stands out among all other female ninjas for her powerful persona in the Naruto series.
11. Karin
Karin is one of the sexiest female characters in the famous series Naruto. She originally began as a minor antagonist in the Kurosuki Family Arc, but she eventually ended up joining Team Taka after her goals proved to be misguided. Her beauty and sultry attitude quickly made her a fan favourite all over the world.
As the only medical-nin on Team Taka, Karin is an important character to their success and thus features prominently in many of their missions and battles.
In addition to her medical skills, which are among the best in the world, she has also displayed a more emotional side on more than one occasion.
This shows that she is much more than just a beautiful face, making her even more attractive to fans around the world as a result.
10. Shizune

As with most ninjas from Naruto, she created her own unique outfit that reflects her cool personality, in this case, an all-black bodysuit paired with arm braces and thigh-high boots, all designed to make her look cool and mysterious.

Kurenai opened her heart to Asuma, who she eventually married and had a daughter with, Mirai Sarutobi. Asuma's death was like a blow to Kurenai, but his memory never faded from her life and still comforts her when she needs him most.
Her incredible beauty hides an immense inner strength which has seen her through tough times throughout the Naruto series, proving that Kurenai will do anything for the people she cherishes.

She was born as part of the intensely powerful Uzumaki clan and learned to master nature transformation at an early age.
Her attractiveness comes from her passionate spirit and the warmth she shows when making friends with just about anyone she meets. Kushina's personality allows her to fight off any evil attacker without sacrificing anyone else in the process.
For example, during the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha, she uses herself as bait to lure Kyuubi away from civilians. Her strength isn't limited to just her ninjutsu; she also has some impressive cooking skills that can turn any noodle fan into a loyal fan of ramen.
In addition to her appeal in combat, her witty humour provides much-needed comic relief throughout intense battle scenes.

What makes Konan even sexier is that despite her physical attributes, she can hold her own against strong opponents with her intelligence and combat skills. She uses paper as a tool to fight battles, which gives her an edge over other female ninja warriors in past times.

This carefree ninja has had a long journey culminating in her membership as an adult as part of the current generation ANBU Black Ops lineup. Ino's beauty lies in her sun-kissed complexion, raven black hair, and delicate facial features.
Her short temper and quick thinking are added advantages, often making her one of the most likeable characters in the show. Softer sides of Ino come forward when she shows concern and love for her friends along with strong pro-konoha values.
She has been trained by her father, who owns a flower shop giving her deep nuances in controlling chakra and benefiting with some more sophisticated techniques such as the mind transfer jutsu. Added to this, she has strong physical abilities along with an aptitude towards hand-to-hand combat.

Statement by Scott Miller, United States Ambassador to Liechtenstein
Today we celebrate 25 years of formal diplomatic relations between the United States and Liechtenstein. On March 14, 1997, my predecessor, Ambassador Madeline Kunin, visited Vaduz for the first time in an official capacity to present Prince Hans-Adam II letters of credence from President Bill Clinton, which he graciously accepted, making her the first U.S. Ambassador to Liechtenstein. In the two and half decades since, the United States and Liechtenstein have built a strong, durable, and productive partnership. We share a commitment to democratic values, the rule of law, the power of education and innovation, and the need for responsible behavior in the international community. Our companies trade and invest together, creating jobs and prosperity for working families. We jointly combat money laundering and other illegal banking activities. We cooperate to ensure the digital economy is secure and productive. We passionately fight against modern day slavery and trafficking in persons. And we are united in condemning Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and steadfast in our support of the brave people of Ukraine. The United States is grateful to have a friend like Liechtenstein. I raised a toast today with my Liechtenstein colleague, Ambassador Doris Frick, to commemorate all that our countries have done together and all that we will do together, as friends and partners.

The trombonists of the Liberty High School Marching Band in Frisco, Texas, performed the highly choreographed "Headchoppers" routine while blindfolded. This is particularly skillful as the routine requires the musicians to stand close to one another and swing their long instruments in various assigned directions in rhythm with the drums keeping beat from behind.

I'm a wee bit anxious this morning. It's January 14th and in 29 minutes, registration for Breathless Agony opens up. Breathless Agony is the second event in the King of the Mountains series and the only event of the series which is not hosted by Planet Ultra. This event sold out in less than a week last year and rumor has it that it will sell out even sooner this year. I'm actually curious to see how quickly the 450 highly sought after spots will go, but AFTER I get our registrations in, of course. ;)
8:17 a.m. UPDATE:
George and I both got in. I'm sure I was fretting for nothing, but this series has become so popular that we didn't want to take any chances. Can't wait for May 3rd!

Tutorials supplement learning that has occurred in lectures by providing further opportunities for students to discuss course material, ask questions, practice skills, and receive formative feedback on their learning. A good tutorial session is interactive and learner-centred; it emphasizes active learning and fosters instructor-to-learner and learner-to-learner interaction.
This teaching tip highlights the key strategies for planning and delivering online tutorials in any discipline, and is targeted primarily at instructors. This document is a companion to the broader Key Strategies for Effective Tutorials Teaching Tip Sheet, which includes advice for both in-person and online tutorials. Teaching assistants (TAs) may find that more in-depth tip sheet helpful.
Online tutorials can be offered in different modalities: synchronous, asynchronous, or a combination of the two. For affordances of each modality, refer to the Synchronous and Asynchronous Online Learning resource. The Tools and Technology resource will also be helpful in deciding the best approach for your context; keep this resource in mind as you read through this teaching tip. If course tutorials are offered synchronously, be sure to provide an asynchronous option.
Similar to in-person tutorials, planning, communication, delivery, question strategies, activities, and motivation are all important aspects to consider to make online tutorials productive learning events.
- Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOS): Check that it is possible to meet your ILOs in the online space and then adapt them if necessary, focusing on the key outcomes.
- Scheduling:
- Synchronous: If these sessions are not scheduled by the Registrar, coordinate with other instructors and TAs who are running synchronous sessions to avoid scheduling conflicts. Ask students to fill out a survey indicating their own potential scheduling conflicts, including time zones. Always have an asynchronous alternative available (e.g., recordings to view in tandem with a discussion board).
- Asynchronous: Provide students with a clear schedule for when the various parts of the asynchronous activities are due and include when you will respond to their questions and give them feedback. Consider maintaining a weekly schedule as you would on campus to provide a familiar pattern for the students to follow.
- Guidelines: Be proactive and make instructions as clear as possible so students can be as independent as possible. This approach will also benefit you as you won't need to field as many emails. Provide an outline for each session and explain how students will participate in it.
- Technology and materials: Use what technology makes sense in your context, and nothing more. Simplicity is key and do not try to learn new technologies on the fly. Make sure in your planning step you have made students aware of the materials and technology requirements of your tutorial.
- Synchronous: Practice! Build in time for you and your students to learn the technology. Cue your visual aids (i.e., slide show, images, problem sets, virtual white board, etc.) in advance. Have a back-up plan if technology fails and make sure your students know it too. If you struggle with writing equations on the virtual whiteboard, prepare full solutions ahead of time so you can point to them as you explain. Know how to record and share the session for students who are unable to attend and be aware of the privacy requirements.
- Asynchronous: As much as possible, try to stay ahead in your preparation while keeping your tutorials responsive to students' needs and questions so as not to lose the "just-in-time" nature of tutorials. You may wish t0 create a demo video or a screencast to explain or work through the concepts/problems or provide them the tutorial problems and give them a space to collaborate (such as a collaborative document or discussion board). .
Related resources:
- Strategies for Remote Teaching (Keep Learning)
- Privacy in Recordings (Keep Learning)
- Communication strategy: How will you interact with students online? What tools and technology will you use? Are those tools and technology supporting your learning goals or complicating students' achievement of them? Tell students your communication strategy. Be explicit with them about the guidelines for participation; norms for chats, discussion boards, virtual meetings, or breakout rooms; timing of when replies are expected; and expectations for communicating in online, professional contexts. Be sure in either mode to allow opportunities for understanding checks and feedback.
- Feedback:
- Synchronous: Use this opportunity to address students as a group, but also provide a written or recorded version of your feedback for students who were not present during the synchronous session. Even students who were present will benefit from your written comments or solutions for reference. Also, capitalize on the real-time approach, and conduct comprehension checks frequently to ensure students are following along.
- Asynchronous: Keep to the schedule and communication strategy to which you've committed. Students benefit from feedback in regular intervals, and this is especially important when there is no scheduled, face-to-face meeting time. For example, in a one-week asynchronous tutorial task, you can schedule 1 or 2 check-ins that scaffold the task for students. Avoid giving feedback only at the end of the task.
- Tone and professionalism: Strive to model the right tone for students. Whether oral (e.g., audio/video) or written (e.g., chats, discussion boards), it's important to maintain and model professionalism while being personable. In the online environment, you also need to work a little harder on portraying your human side. Be sure to model the engagement, curiosity, respect and motivation that you are looking for from your students. Be responsive and thorough when students ask questions. Check in to make sure your responses were helpful, and ask clarifying questions when needed to help students ask clear and useful questions.
- Synchronous: This delivery mode usually involves some form of live chat and/or virtual meeting, which may or may not have video enabled. Without facial expressions for feedback, use technology's features to your advantage. Most virtual meeting platforms incorporate a visual signal so that you know who is talking as well as reaction symbols that represent raised hands, confusion, etc. Make sure you learn what to look for and where to find it, and tell students if you want them to use those features and how to do so.
- Asynchronous: Remember to be clear and concise in your communications to your students to avoid confusion and misunderstanding.

- Communicating with Students (Keep Learning)
- Instructor Presence (Keep Learning)
- Aligning tutorials with lectures: Tutorials typically follow up a lecture. Depending on the online setup, tutorials might follow a video, a series of short videos spliced with self-directed activities, readings, etc. Ensure that you're aligning your tutorials with your lectures, whether demonstrating, expanding, or discussing a concept in depth. Make connections between the tutorials and the lectures, both temporally within the course ("Remember when we…" and "Looking ahead, we'll…") and to students' personal experience, world events, and other texts and media encountered throughout the course and beyond. Follow up on theories explained in the lectures and other online materials. Solve example problems, introduce advanced and more challenging problems in a scaffolded way, and seek to prepare students for assessments.
- Timing:
- Synchronous: Plan and manage your time and students' time well. You may have agreed to meet synchronously, but students may still be in different time zones or have a multitude of obligations for which they also need to stay on schedule. Some virtual meeting platforms time out; ensure you know your platform and build in buffer time if needed. It's a good idea to survey your students and adjust your plan as needed, based on their input. Also, keep an eye on the time: it can be very easy to go overtime when there isn't another class waiting to get into the room as there would be on campus.
- Asynchronous: As in your communication strategy, give students a timeframe for completing activities and give yourself a timeframe for providing feedback and answering students' questions. Use techniques that make the most of your time, such as providing global feedback, as it's easier to lose track of time spent by you and your students when managing activities in an asynchronous online environment. Aim to account for all the time that you and your students are spending on the course in your planning, delivery, and administration.
- Mode: Synchronous, asynchronous, or a mix of the two may be used for tutorial teaching. See what best suits your context. You can use discussion boards, collaborative documents, pre-recorded walkthroughs, or dropboxes for key milestones in the task needing feedback. You can also make use of peer review and/or self-managed group collaboration.
- Synchronous: Use virtual meeting platforms to facilitate a discussion, solve a problem, or demonstrate an experiment. Take advantage of the virtual white boards available in virtual meeting rooms. Also consider using a physical whiteboard if you find it easier to write equations and scaffold problem solving there. When filming, be sure that sound is directed appropriately for your recording setup, and if you must film yourself talking be sure to look at the camera. Remember to make your writing large enough for students to see. Use chats for a low-bandwidth way of facilitating a text-only discussion. Record your sessions, save your transcripts, and share them with students afterward.
- Asynchronous: Use discussion boards to post problems or prompts for students to work through on their own and post replies. Facilitate the discussion happening there, and consider dropping in at different times to monitor and encourage student activity. This mode gives students the advantage of flexibility with respect to time, giving them a chance to think things through and ask questions (even those who typically won't speak up in class).

- Course Workload Estimator (Rice University)
- Preparation: Work through the online course content and review students' submitted work well in advance so that you can prepare questions and discussion topics that are responsive to students' needs and evolving levels of understanding. Consider crowdsourcing questions before the tutorial. You might do this by creating a shared collaborative document for all tutorial sessions or one for each tutorial session or discussion boards in the learning management system.
- Tools: The tools you use to collect questions (asynchronous) and field questions (synchronous) will likely be the same tools you use to deliver your tutorials, so ensure question strategies are part of your early considerations.
- Synchronous: If using a virtual meeting platform, repeat questions just as if you were in a physical space to ensure everyone has heard the question. You may have a student managing the chat, and they can type the question there as well for you. If you are working from a document of collected questions or pre-set questions in the course notes or textbook, be explicit about the question to which you're referring. You can also share that document/your screen through the virtual meeting platform. If you'd like to call on an individual student, many virtual meeting platforms allow you to send a private chat message; leverage this to ask them if it's okay that you call on them.
- Active learning: Active learning involves students doing tasks to construct their own knowledge. This may seem like a tall order for the online space, but you can encourage this type of learning by engaging students in solving problems, discussing different perspectives, asking and answering questions, and debating.
- Synchronous: Provide clear guidelines for engagement and participation, including instructions on the tool you're using. Use breakout rooms in virtual meeting spaces for students to work in small groups and monitor their work. Use the collaborative whiteboard function in problem solving sessions to foster collaborative learning. Provide feedback to small groups and individuals, but use the main room to provide global feedback.
- Asynchronous: Post materials or short videos on LEARN (max. 500 MB) or link to materials or videos that already exist. Consider using gamification in learning platforms when appropriate. For example, use a conditionally released widget in LEARN as an award to students who have made certain accomplishments (e.g., got a high score in a quiz, contributed in the discussion board, etc.). Give students a timeframe for completing activities and the tools and space to work together if that's your goal (collaborative documents and discussion boards are great for this). Give students plenty of guidance and feedback and let them know how to get help if they need it.
- Student participation: Diving deeper into lecture topics, working through more complicated problems, and practicing new skills or methods with feedback are part of tutorials, but if you find yourself turning tutorials into lectures, you may need to return to your learning goals to ensure they're being met during your lectures or through the other learning materials being used online. Scaffolding large tasks and creating defined check-ins with students or groups of students is recommended.
- Synchronous: Turning tutorials into lectures may be especially tempting in the synchronous mode. To facilitate student participation, ensure you are giving them time to learn how to interact with the software used for activities to engage with you and each other. Just like in class, count slowly to ten in your head to give students adequate time to process and respond. Avoid the temptation to fill in silences with lecturing. If no one engages, you may need to cut the session short or have a workaround/technology backup to make sure students can actually interact (e.g., your settings may be wrong resulting in students being unable to turn on their mics).
- Asynchronous: It is even more important to have clear guidelines for engagement and participation and tool instructions when you are running asynchronously, as you don't have a chance to explain and answer questions before students begin the activity - your written instructions must do that.
- Barriers: Perceived isolation and lack of motivation are significant barriers to learning in online courses. Consider strategies for connecting with students and supporting them that you can use in online tutorials. You could write a short self-introduction or post a short welcome video and encourage students to do the same, share strategies for being a successful online learner, or offer tips for learning the course materials.
- Availability: Create a supportive learning environment by being available to help your students. Hold virtual office hours and let students know what they can expect from you regarding email timelines (e.g., you will return emails within 24 hours on weekdays, but weekends may be more erratic). Be available but keep in mind your own needs. If you make a habit of responding to emails at 1 AM, that will become an expectation you hold for yourself and that students hold for you. Be sure to check in to the discussion boards/chat tool or any external communication tools (e.g., Piazza, Slack, etc.) regularly if your students expect your answers there.

Georgia Webster keeps an actual box of memories under her bed, packed with mementos given to her from friends and former lovers. She saves "the most random things," she admits. While shuffling through the box one day, the Hampden, Massachusetts native found herself spiraling down a rabbit hole, Alice in Wonderland style.
Videos by American Songwriter
"Sometimes, looking through it can bring back a lot of memories that are difficult to relive," she tells American Songwriter. "Box of Memories," produced by Paul DiGiovanni, bookends her new EP, First Goodbye, on which she penned all five tracks herself. "Songwriting is like my therapy, and I love that I can be 100 percent honest with myself when I'm writing and not feel like I have to hold anything back.
"The end of this song definitely stands out most to me," she continues. "I love how the lyrics go back to how they were in the first verse and how there's no chord ending the song."
Now based in Nashville, the singer-songwriter first picked up a guitar to learn numerous cuts from Taylor Swift's early catalog, mostly her country work. Soon, she took to the local scene, performing in various coffee shops and other spaces, and uploading her songs to social media. Last summer, she struck on a viral smash with "Tell Your Mom," igniting a fervent fan base on TikTok. She then linked up with DiGiovanni, most known as lead guitarist for Boys Like Girls and boasts credits with Justin Moore, Dan + Shay, and Jordan Davis, among others.
With a strong musical foundation, Webster continues proving her staying power. And it most certainly helps her songwriting process is as straightforward as they come. "I'm usually just feeling really strongly about something," she says, "and then taking that to my bed with my guitar and writing about it. Sometimes I'll come up with a melody first or a good lyric first, but usually it kinda just all flows."
Reflecting on her quick success so far (her impressive streaming numbers reflect a passionate fanbase), she offers the best advice she's ever received so far. "Definitely don't write what you hear on the radio, because it's already on the radio. Write what you would want to hear."
Listen to "Box of Memories" below.

Moderna to seek U.S. and EU authorization for its vaccine
Moderna to seek U.S. and EU authorization for its vaccine
NEW DELHI: Moderna has announced that the primary efficacy analysis of the Phase 3 study of mRNA-1273 conducted on 196 cases confirms the high efficacy observed at the first interim analysis.
The data analysis indicates a vaccine efficacy of 94.1%. Safety data continue to accrue and the study continues to be monitored by an independent, NIH-appointed Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).
The Company also announced that today, Moderna plans to request an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and conditional approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The Phase 3 study, known as the COVE study, enrolled more than 30,000 participants in the U.S. and is being conducted in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The primary endpoint of the Phase 3 COVE study is based on the analysis of COVID-19 cases confirmed and adjudicated starting two weeks following the second dose of vaccine. Vaccine efficacy has been demonstrated at the first interim analysis with a total of 95 cases based on the pre-specified success criterion on efficacy.
Todays primary analysis was based on 196 cases, of which 185 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group versus 11 cases observed in the mRNA-1273 group, resulting in a point estimate of vaccine efficacy of 94.1%.
A secondary endpoint analyzed severe cases of COVID-19 and included 30 severe cases (as defined in the study protocol) in this analysis. All 30 cases occurred in the placebo group and none in the mRNA-1273 vaccinated group. There was one COVID-19-related death in the study to date, which occurred in the placebo group.
Efficacy was consistent across age, race and ethnicity, and gender demographics. The 196 COVID-19 cases included 33 older adults (ages 65+) and 42 participants identifying as being from diverse communities (including 29 Hispanic or LatinX, 6 Black or African Americans, 4 Asian Americans and 3 multiracial participants).
The safety profile of the Phase 3 study of mRNA-1273 was previously described on November 16. A continuous review of safety data is ongoing and no new serious safety concerns have been identified by the Company. Based on prior analysis, the most common solicited adverse reactions included injection site pain, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, and erythema/redness at the injection site. Solicited adverse reactions increased in frequency and severity in the mRNA-1273 group after the second dose.
The Company will submit data from the Phase 3 COVE study to a peer-reviewed publication.
This positive primary analysis confirms the ability of our vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease with 94.1

BiG Day In Gold Coast: Future Techies Get Excited About Australian STEM Careers
- Hear a wrap up on the ACS Foundation Gold Coast BiG Day In, which inspires school children about careers in technology.
The ACS is the major sponsor of the ACS Foundation's BiG Day In careers days, mostly held on University campuses across all states and territories. The BDI returned to the Gold Coast in 2023, hosted again by Griffith University in the Ian O'Connor Building Auditorium, demonstrating that the event is valued as an amazing promotional tool for universities to showcase their programs to future students. A major benefit of holding BDIs on tertiary campuses is that students get a feel for the university, the relevant courses on offer and the facilities.
For ACS and the tech industry, the BDI fills an important role in tech career promotion and outreach. It showcases local and Australian companies, both tech companies or tech teams within other industries like mining, logistics and defence. Students learn about pathways into careers and a 'day in the work life' from engaging speakers to understand what happens in a tech work environment. Questions are encouraged and rewarded through the prize giveaways, generously donated by sponsors and presenters.
For the students who know what they want to do, it is an insightful opportunity to ask specific questions directly to workers and employers in their desired fields. For the students who are not sure of their pathway, the BDI allows students to hear from and pose questions to a variety of employers, entrepreneurs, experts and workers.
To start off, the official welcome from Professor Paulo de Souza, Dean (Research) at Griffith University was delivered as the theatre kept filling up with schools as far away as Brisbane and Ballina entered and doubled the existing audience. ACS Queensland Branch Chair Beau Tydd got the crowd pumping with an inspirational and motivating call to action; listen, ask lots of questions and stay on a tech study pathway.
Presenters and organisations on stage at the BDI Gold Coast included:
- 'From Hacker to Cyber Hero' - Dave Rudduck, Solis Security
- 'Opportunities & Pathways in Australia's Oldest Intelligence Agency' - Zyanna Dwyer, Australian Signals Directorate
- 'Technology Across Your Working Lives - 50 Years of Change' – Greg Booker, Futurist
- 'What Do I Even Do Here? (at Technology One)' – Bryce Ford, TechnologyOne
- 'Full STEM Ahead!' – Tim Ryan, Ashley Nicol & Tanya Giannakos, Westpac
- 'Enabling Careers Through Technology at Woolworths Group' – Eric Wood & Mark Van Der Linden, Woolworths Group
- 'Space: Out Of This World Careers In Our Own Backyard' – Dr Matt Richardson, Australian Space Agency
- 'How Did We Get Here? From High School to Securing the World Against Cyber Attacks' - Dale Bowie, Hollie Wright, Melanie Hanson & Narayana Madinenik – IBM.
The BDI in Queensland always collaborates with the ICT Gateway to Industry Schools program, a Queensland Government contract managed by DYJESBT and run by ACS since 2020. It was particularly pleasing to have David Rudduck from Solis Security present and host an exhibitors table with three other employees. David and Solis Security have supported the ICT GISP in a number of ways, including by hosting a work experience student and enabling employees to speak to students. Solis Security is also an ACS Professional Partner.
The speakers from IBM were also Gold Coast-based.
ACS' Matthew Jorgensen also spoke directly to 56 students, encouraging them to ask questions and walk away from the day with a clearer view of their pathway options. Exhibitor numbers were limited due to space and included:
- Australian Signals Directorate
- Australian Space Agency
- Australian Computer Society
- Woolworths
- Griffith University
- Solis Security
- The Queensland Government Customer and Digital Group (Digital Professional Workforce Action Plan).
During these breakout sessions, students and teachers could learn from employers and industry representatives about their options and pathways. The first step is to stay on a digital study path in secondary school, but sometimes that is not possible if there are not enough numbers for an elective class. Accessing free and paid online lessons and longform courses beyond what can be accessed in school is a viable way to develop skills for students and professionals alike.
More and more employers will consider workers who are traveling the traineeship and VET / TAFE pathway as well as a University journey.
If you would like to get involved with any of the three Queensland BDIs in 2024, please contact Matthew Jorgensen (email@example.com).
The next BDI is being held in Newcastle on August 30.

Group Holds Rally in Nashville to Push for Marijuana Legalization
Tennesseans showed up to legislature meetings on Tuesday making their plea for legalizing medical marijuana.
The West Tennessee chapter of the non-profit group known as the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) descended on Nashville to speak to lawmakers.
Part of the group went inside, and the rest stayed outside to rally in the streets.
"A lot of us are patients. I broke eight vertebrae. I did two and a half years of medication. I took 14 pills, and that's no way to live," said Lee Otts from NORML Memphis. "I started trying cannabis and my quality of life started improving, my medication went down."
Lawmakers in Nashville are debating several issues on this front, including medical marijuana legalization, full legalization and decriminalization of marijuana.
The group also said medical marijuana could be a good substitute for opioids and help curb the crisis.
