"Traditionally a lich has a receptacle in which its soul is stored. Find and destroy the receptacle to finish the job," suggests Zileska. "I, however, have very little in the way of magical miracles to call upon at this point, until we get a chance to rest up, clean up, and have some real food and perhaps a roll in the hay."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
"So he just comes back?" Zhi asks incredulously. "I don't think so." She switches to her shortsword and, for the second time today, proceeds to remove someone's head from their body.
She wraps the head in a piece of cloth and then shoves it into her magic bag.
"I'd like to see the bastard come back without his head," she says when her grisly task is completed. "If he was the boss then let's at least see what he was guarding before we get out of here."
Zhi checks the single other door in the room for traps before opening it.
|Zileska Vestalina
"Do you have an extradimensional space to put that head in? Otherwise he might give us running commentary."
|DM Brainiac
Panivar's head twitches slightly, indicating that the wizard is still alive despite the decapitation.
A bizarre device of shining, white stone is the sole focus of this room. A deep vessel, large enough for an adult human to sit within, balances atop three stone pillars fitted with lenses and alien instruments. A tub below ripples with a milky, opalescent fluid whose earthy, sweet scent fills the room.
The rest of this almost temple-like chamber consists of shelves lining the walls, though they are largely devoid of books. Instead, only a single journal rests among the empty, stained jars and flasks.
The journal sitting alone on the shelf details Panivar Lotheed's weeks of careful grafting, surgery, and examination as he carefully nursed Carrius's shredded soul into a stable state using legends stolen from the Astral Plane—a grisly and painful subject to even read about. Later entries detail his frustrations with how quickly the legends seem to be growing to overwhelm Carrius himself. The final entry reads:
I have crafted a ring with which I can enter the boy's mind and take these delinquent emperors to task with my own hand. They are arrogant automatons—more like clever and willful pets than the emperors I had hoped for, but they've done their work. Now I need only prune them back hard, but not so much that my discipline destroys them; there is precious little holding the lad together save their ghostly egos. Another session or two and they should be permanently cowed, but if not, the ring will allow me to re-enter and establish dominance whenever I care to.
As you approach the device, the necklace containing Eutropia's soul begins to get warm. A flickering emanation of the princess appears above the vessel. The closer the magic jar necklace gets to the vessel, the stronger and clearer her image becomes.
|Melodie d'Valois
Melodie scans the items, calling out each items properties until she comes to the unusual Ring. After examining it intently for a minute or so while the rest of the group mutilates the wizards body she moves to the journal and begins to read.
Melodie has always been a swift reader, but this time she turns the pages slowly, shuddering as the sheer enormity and horror of Panivar's scheme comes together in her mind.
"By the gods! The... hubris! I could never... we need to find Carrius and soon. He's not a person any more - just a vessel. They've filled him with six astral legends to replace his own soul... This Ring can get us into a mindscape where we can contain the legends, and banish them... I hope."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Zhi grins back at Zileska and pats her bag that's been through so much with them. "Not a problem," she says with confidence.
When the emanation of the princess appears, Zhi's eyes widen. "What is this thing?" she questions in awe, turning to her wife and then to Zileska. "What does this have to do with Eutropia?"
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|Zileska Vestalina
Zileska purses her lips and says, "How stupid. Going to all this trouble to make a fake Carrius. There are plenty of easier ways to steal the Imperial Throne."
"Also makes me feel a bit bad for the poor boy, but it certainly explains why he 'feels off'."
The priestess wrings her hands and says, "I'm guessing this is the device by which Panivar constructed the soul for Carrius. Now that Carrius is no longer here, the device is resonating with Eutropia's stored soul, since she's the closes one that's not currently in a body."
"This does raise some interesting ideas about what we could do with Panivar's soul if we found his receptacle," she adds wryly.
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
"Sadly enough, it doesn't sound like the prince is fake, just ... damaged. I pity him," Zhi says with a shake of her head.
"Could this ... contraption ... bring the princess back?" She asks after a moment. She holds out her hand for the pendant holding Eutropia's soul and brings it even closer to the device. Testing to find out where the image of the princess is strongest.
|Zileska Vestalina
"Perhaps. Remember that when she spoke to us before she said she wasn't ready to have her soul restored to a body yet," says Zileska.

When the necklace is so placed, the stones below the crucible flare white-hot, and ghostly steam issues from the vessel. The winch must then be turned, tipping the vessel over and "pouring out" the soul essence into the arcane fluid below.
Images pour forth from the crucible, a flickering parade of childhood memories. Princess Eutropia's memories spill over the vessel's lip, each heartbreak and victory, each friendship and loss that shaped the princess's spirit into the woman you know. You catch glimpses of young Eutropia and her brother playing at knights and dragons, reading together in the Imperial Palace, and other such innocent memories. You also see the grief and resolve on Eutropia's face as she stands next to her brother's body at his funeral, a memory that defines her so strongly it glows with a light that overshadows all other facets of her soul.
When the Soul Crucible finishes its work, the vessel slowly rights itself. The collected soul-energy of Eutropia coalesces into the form of the princess, naked, pale and exhausted. Eutropia wraps her arms around her shoulders to stop the shivering, musters a smile, and says with a beaming grin, "You've restored me, exactly as I knew you could! That wasn't so hard now, was it?"
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Zhi pulls her cloak off and wraps it around the restored woman. "Your Highness," she says with a tip of her head. "I would offer you clothes, but nothing I have would fit you." she says with a slight grin.
"It's wonderful to have you back. We've eliminated the leadership of the Immaculate Circle," she continues. "With one exception. Their leader doesn't seem to want to die, but I think he'll have a hard time being a nuisance without his head." She pats her backpack meaningfully. "If you'd like, we'll return you to birdsong palace and with the mantle of kings, we should be able to end this conflict."
|DM Brainiac
|Melodie d'Valois
Knw Arc: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Looks like its on Maria!
"Take this, Your Highness." Melodie suggests, holding out her fine black weapon. "You should stay here, but if something comes for you then concentrate on us and the dagger will bring us here to help you." Lend Eutropia the Scion's Dagger, just in case.
"The Princess is right," She adds to the rest of the group. "We should check that we have dealt with the whole circle before we leave."
She pulls off the wide over-shirt she wears for 'adventuring' and offers it to the Princess with a gentle hand, brushing her skin and implanting a fraction of psychic power at the same moment. Mesmeric Mirror :)
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Zhi frowns, but then nods at Melodie's words. "If you feel that's best, Princess," she says. Her face reddens slightly. "I meant my Princess, your Highness." Her face reddens further. "I don't mean that you're not my princess. I just meant ..." She closes her eyes and takes a breath.
"My apologies, your Highness. I was talking to my wife. I call her ... No disrespect to your station intended. We should head back to the other secret door."
|Maria Greyson
Maria's physically incapable of rolling that arcana check - she has zero ranks in Know Arcana. She can make it untrained thanks to a class feature but that's only +5 and I'd have to spend Inspiration. Then again, I barely spend any inspiration anyway so...
Know Arcana, Untrained: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Inspiration, add higher roll to above: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
No surprise there, a total of only 10.
Maria couldn't help but smile at Zhi tripping over her pet names and titles.
"We'll be back as soon as possible, your Highness."
|DM Brainiac
Eutropia reverently accepts the legendary dagger, but smirks irreverently at Zhi's awkwardness. "Relax, Zhi. You've seen me naked now. I think you've earned the right to just call me Eutropia."
Zhi leads the way to the other secret door. A dozen tomes with an eclectic mix of bindings, from snakeskin to blood-red leather, bob lazily in midair. Glass cases line the walls, filled with mounted skeletons of strange humanoids and birds. A circular desk stands almost in the center of the room.
An open tome on the desk contains Panivar's personal research notes regarding the Soul Crucible, the device you used to resurrect Eutropia, detailing his discovery and subsequent modifications to the vessel. The first entry dates from 4607 and reads:
It's rare Thassritoum provides me an insight without a price or puzzle, but perhaps this one was too precious to serve as a toy. He called it the Soul Crucible, and I see why he kept the knowledge of it hidden until now; it appears the Last Azlanti himself tucked it away from the world, and the locks and wards lost their sting without their master.
The vessel seems designed to store and refine immortal souls, constructed, I would wager, by a civilization predating even Azlant. A wily user can imprison his foes and study their secrets from their living essence, but I believe it could be improved upon, with what the Mewling Storm has taught me. This Soul Crucible could live up to its moniker, burning souls down to their most essential traits. Imagine brewing the sword arm of Arnisant? Or the cunning of Razmir? Splicing the greatest living talents together into a perfect whole!
I can master this device. With Thassritoum shielding my soul from Pharasma's gaze, I have all the time in the world.
The journals also contain notes on the Soul Crucible and how it works. You can examine these sections of the journals to learn the Soul Crucible is a powerful artifact that can store, examine, dissect, and restore souls. More recent entries describe modifications to the artifact's original function, and the most recent pages discuss how to use powerful motes of psychic energy in place of soul-stuff.
Several of the books here are spellbooks. The books contain all wizard spells from levels 1 through 7, as well as dimensional lock, etherealness, gate, greater create demiplane, and greater planar binding. The library's other tomes contain enough material to study for a year.
|Melodie d'Valois
Melodie collects the choicest books, drafting Maria in to help her with the spellbooks, and then nods firmly. "If that's everything then we should collect the Princess and get out of here."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Eutropia reverently accepts the legendary dagger, but smirks irreverently at Zhi's awkwardness. "Relax, Zhi. You've seen me naked now. I think you've earned the right to just call me Eutropia."
Zhi's face reddens and she looks down at her feet. "Yes, your High ... Yes, Eutropia," she stammers out.
Melodie collects the choicest books, drafting Maria in to help her with the spellbooks, and then nods firmly. "If that's everything then we should collect the Princess and get out of here."
"Wait, you're telling me that we're not even going to look behind those big double doors?" Zhi questions, pointing towards the doors to the north. She blinks puppy-dog eyes at her wife.
|Melodie d'Valois
"Wait, you're telling me that we're not even going to look behind those big double doors?" Zhi questions, pointing towards the doors to the north. She blinks puppy-dog eyes at her wife.
"Fine. Quickly!" Melodie replies, although a smile creeps onto her face and ruins any stern effect.
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|DM Brainiac
This chamber has the look of a museum. Nooks in the walls, illuminated from above with magical light, showcase busts, sculptures, and other pieces of art. Heavy-framed paintings hang between the nooks, and statues of heroic men in armor or long robes stand in the corners. From the ceiling hangs a massive crystal chandelier swarming with magical lights.
The collected artworks in this room, treasures of Taldor's history, are all but priceless. Many are stolen, though, and unless the you go through illegal channels to fence them for a fraction of their price, most will have to be returned to their rightful owners. Whether you fence the art or return it (which will garner you a modest reward from each grateful owner), you will earn 16,000 gp for the art pieces.
With a thorough search, you recognize one of the statues (that of a general from the Sixth Army of Exploration) as a fake. The statue's base is hollow, concealing a hidden panel. Inside the statue's base is a bag containing six small diamonds, each one worth 2,500 gp. Next to the bag are three ring boxes. One holds a jailer's dungeon ring and the other two each contain a prisoner's dungeon ring.
The adjoining room serve as bedrooms for Nenareen Adella and Panivar Lotheed. Panivar keeps an erratic journal in his bedroom, with many of the entries mundane accountings of vapid political secrets and debts owed. The most recent entry is from months ago and reads:
The soul is shredded. Thassritoum tells me it was unavoidable given the haste and difficulty of the task, but I suspect his cruelty got the better of his practicality once again. He does love presenting me with a challenge. I doubt what's left of the boy could survive more than a few hours outside the crucible. I've debated sending an imposter, or transferring my own soul into the vessel Adella prepared, but the return of Prince Carrius will be perhaps the most closely scrutinized miracle in Taldor's history.
The boy must remain pure, and his destiny must be to become emperor. I simply need some means of patching the damage done. Gods are not the only ones who live forever, so certainly they cannot be the only ones to make a soul. I simply need a powerful source of psychic energy.
|Melodie d'Valois
Confronted with yet more evidence of Pannivar's madness Melodie shakes her head sadly. "He was utterly insane." She says quietly. "Brilliant beyond reason and completely insane. I don't think we ever want to meet Thassritoum though."
Assuming we really have seen everything now...
"I'll show Eutropia these later." She says. "This is something to digest in comfort, not somewhere like this!"
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|DM Brainiac
The floor of this chamber is covered in trapezoidal marble tiles. Gold bars cordon off the eastern and western alcoves flanking the stairs, shading curved alcoves beyond. The ceiling is a carved relief of a ferocious lion, large as a building, crushing armies beneath its paws. Stairs ascend at the far end of the room.
Two huge cages contain a pair of massive lions the size of elephants. Their fur and skin shimmer with a golden sheen. The beasts growl at you but seem unable to escape their cages.
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|DM Brainiac
The stairs wind up to a secret door that opens onto the winding tunnel on the level above. You head down to its end, where you find a pair of false double doors opening on blank stone. The passage is little more than a means to confuse intruders.
However, there are more secret doors leading away. The nearest one opens onto a hall with several bedchambers where the other members of the Immaculate Circle slept. One belonged to Barenby Ghoom, and it contains his weather-beaten journal tracking his past expeditions to collect rare components, chart the movements of animals and unusual beasts in the area, and maps of impossible locations. The last dozen pages detail his expeditions into the Astral Plane with a trio of night hags in search of "legends"— constellations of psychic energy created by the public perception of great figures. His journal specifically names the six legends he helped track: Beldam I, Cyricas, Daronlyr XII, Gennaris III, Stavian I, and Taldaris—six of Taldor's most famous former grand princes.
There is also a prison in the end of this hall, but it is currently empty.
The last secret door opens onto a large chamber. Four silver braziers, one in each corner of the room, continuously overflow with pale blue mist that fills the room.
There is a growl from the mist, and a creature rushes towards you! This one-eyed, wolf-headed creature walks upright on two hoofed feet. It bares metal fangs while a thin, ratlike tail twitches behind it.
Maria: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Melodie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Sara: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Zileska: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Safina: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Creature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Sara Dirty Trick: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27
Sara rushes towards the creature, but fails to hit it. The thing takes the time to defend itself, its form blurring and its movements increasing significantly!
Everybody may act! The creature has a 20% miss chance due to the blur and the mist.
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
With a roll of her eyes, Zhi races forward to flank with Sara, vanishing as she does so.
Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 2 + 4 = 29 invisible - ignore target's Dex bonus, outflank
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 3 = 19 arcane strike
Sneak Attack Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 3, 2, 5) = 21
Concealment 20% miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 49
Current Effects: mage armor, Arcane Strike, greater invisibility
Koriana's Blade: +4 AC, +1 AC to Sara
Current AC: 28 - 50% miss chance for sighted opponents
Opponent is -6 to Will saves for rounds equal to number of hits.
|Melodie d'Valois
"Sit down you horrid thing!" Melodie commands firmly, a complete contrast to her reaction to the lions in the previous room which had been more along the lines of 'my goodness, theyre adorable!'.
Hold Monster. Dc26. -4 on will etc etc.
|DM Brainiac
Will: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 4 = 22
Zhi stabs the monster, then Melodie's spell causes it to promptly freeze in place. Sara is in the perfect position to drive her heel through the beast's throat and kill it without a fight.
The doors to the west open onto the final chamber in this complex. In the south of this room, two pink marble statues of giant bees with enormous sparkling jewels for eyes face each other. A hexagonal plinth two feet tall sits between them. Against the north wall hang three oblong nets of silver silk, resembling large cocoons or hammocks. The remaining walls are lined with inset stone bookshelves supporting heavy, metal-bound tomes.
A single creature stands in this room. Lithe and beautiful, this half-bee, half-woman creature wears elaborate makeup and wields an ornate staff. "I knew you would find me here. I have been watching you from afar for some time. My name is Drinae. Are you here to kill me, or do you come in peace?"
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|DM Brainiac
Drinae cocks her head. "No. I was more of an unwilling guest. Magic compelled my loyalty, and thus I performed divinations on the Circle's behalf. Your group had been a favored subject for them of late. I foretold when you would return to the palace so that the Circle could execute their plan of assassinating Princess Eutropia. I was also responsible for the Circle learning that Stavian III murdered his son 20 years ago, which prompted their increasing focus on the imperial family." The bee-woman says all of this calmly and dispassionately.
"You have destroyed the Circle, and thus the compulsions keeping me here have faded. For the first time in 30 years, I am free to return to my home. But before I leave, I recognize that you are the new owners of the Circle's property, including the library. I would like to negotiate with you for continued access to those rare texts. There is quite a bit more I can learn from them."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
"You've been ... been watching us?" Zhi asks, growing uncomfortable. She avoids looking at her wife as her face colors again.
"The property should rightly belong to the Princess and the throne. If you'd like to continue researching here you'll have to negotiate with her."
Something the woman said just now sinks in.
"Wait! Did you say that Stavian murdered Prince Carrius?!"
|DM Brainiac
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Zhi's face hardens.
"I'm glad the bastard was executed then. Hope he's burning for his final judgement," she says in a cold voice.
The rogue turns to the others. "It looks like we're done here. We should retrieve the princess and return her to Birdsong Palace," she says. Her eyes meet Melodie's. "Then on to home." She spares a look at their guide from the Brotherhood. "You get to come with us and remain in our custody for now."
|Zileska Vestalina
"I like the decor," says Zileska idly as she sizes up the bee statues.
"Sooo... where are you going to that is 'home'? Utopia?"
|Melodie d'Valois
"Before we go." Melodie says, and promptly heads back down to the two lions in their cage. She speaks soothingly to both animals, weaving magic into her words and easing the angry animals.
"I'm going to release these two outside." She says, once the creatures are firmly under her spell. "Zhi, sweetheart, take everyone back. I'll walk back to the rest of you once I've let the lions go. Would you mind unlocking the cages for me?"
|DM Brainiac
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
|Zileska Vestalina
"You seem remarkably placid about having been a captive for thirty years," says Zileska to the apian. "Though I suppose everyone involved is, for the most part, dead."
|DM Brainiac
The bee-lady shrugs. "I must confess, my personal investment in the organization had slowly increased over the course of my imprisonment despite my resentment. I even carried on an affair with the rakshasa Milon Jeroth for several years. With the Circle's destruction, though, I find myself with no lingering attachment to them. I am ready to move on."
The Masked Marquis, who has been silently trailing behind you this whole time, merely nods, still under the effects of the charm spell. So, too, do the grisantian lions succumb to Melodie's magic, purring and rubbing against her like enormous kittens.
Princess Eutropia looks askance at your newfound menagerie, but shrugs and accompanies you back to the surface. When you emerge from the building, you find a falcon waiting for you with a scroll:
Something is gravely wrong with Carrius. His demeanor has changed radically, from kind boy to power-obsessed tyrant. He's seizing the throne, arranging a quickly approaching coronation, and has blamed YOU LOT for Eutropia's assassination. You're possibly the most wanted figures in all of Taldor. He's like a man possessed, with magic greater than anything even my brother or father could wield, and skill with a sword that would rival Gennaris himself!
I'm sheltering in the Grandbridge Vagabond Camp, on Barrier Island just outside Oppara. The crowds and running water seem to help block the most reliable of Carrius's divinations. But the city crawls with investigators and paid informants, not to mention an angry citizenry eager to rally behind their "grieving" prince.
For now, Carrius seems untouchable. The Ulfen Guard have welcomed the heir into the Imperial Palace, and so he now commands an army of Ulfen warriors and the royal guard, along with the building's unmatched magical protections. Much of my support network has been wiped out, and even now he targets your own supporters. You must be swift if you hope to act, or else flee Taldor and do not look back! If you return to the city, do so with utmost caution, or else do what you can to operate from a distance. I will try to arrange whatever I can on your behalf; you have only but to ask.
Yours in spirit and blade,
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
Once Melodie finishes reading the letter from Martella, Zhi stands in silence for a moment as she absorbs the contents. She then begins planning.
"We can't return the Princess to Birdsong. Nor can we return to Stachys. If they're looking for us, those are the first places they'll check. I don't think they're aware that we claimed the manor in Zimar, though. That's where we'll have to hole up for the moment to rest and figure out our next step."
She looks at Melodie.
"I'll take the rest of the group and Eutropia there. That place also has facilities to hold someone like our guest," she adds with a head nod towards the Masked Marquis. "I think it has room for your cats as well."
She leans in to give the woman a quick kiss.
"I'll meet you there. Don't take too long."
|Zileska Vestalina
"Well we have a perfect defense for the charges of assassinating Eutropia, namely that she is alive and fine and right here," says Zileska.
"It sounds like they're using powerful divination magic to try to find us. We should expect foes to show up in short order. If we go to the manor in Zimar, we'll need to fortify it somehow, because a commune or similar spell will give up our location easily. If we plane shift somewhere else, though, we could be out of reach of their divination magic. We should at least consider that as a backup."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
"If they could do that then wouldn't they already be here?" Zhi asks. "They also wouldn't need informants and investigators."
She thinks for a moment.
"You're right, though. We shouldn't take any chances with the Princess. Their goal may be to assassinate her again - to finish the job. Can you take us back to Axis?"
|Zileska Vestalina
"I strongly suspect that the fortress we were just inside is shielded against divinations," says Zileska. "But now that we're outside, anyone can find us. We have to find some place safe to lie low for a day so that I can prepare a plane shift. Then we can return to Axis."
"That's assuming we need a day to strategize," she adds. "If you all have an idea for a go-plan right now, we don't need to go lie low. But I have exhausted most of the powerful gifts of Calistria for the moment."
|d'Valois Mai Zhi
"I have magic that can protect against divination, but it would preclude teleporting. If this place is secure against divinations then let's use it. It'll probably be as safe as anywhere else."
|Melodie d'Valois
"Hiding isn't going to help us here." Melodie counters. "This is a matter of perception rather than right or wrong. If we're going to survive then we need to counter Carrius's narrative. But I don't think this is him. The increases in skill, the political edge... this is the legends talking. We need to take the fight to them - get inside the palace. Then I can use this ring to take us inside Carrius's mind and we can deal with the legends there. Besides, the best place to lose yoyrself is a crowd, ans the best place to whip up support is in the city. We can rest here, but i think we need to go to Oppara, not flee to Axis."
She pauses and the grins. "They have a reborn Prince. We have a reborn Princess, accompanied by great Half an lions and bearing the Mantle of Kings. I'd like to see them top that symbolism!"

A hike or snowshoe to the top of Isola peak. Bushwhacking required.
During the winter the gates across the forestry road are locked. They open April 30th. If they are locked it will add a total of 6 kilometers to your round-trip.
The first portion of the hike is on an old oilfield road, approximately 3 km in one heads northwest into the trees for a bushwhack to the treeline, once out of the trees it's a straight shot up to the summit.
From Longview head south on highway 22, head west on 532, then south on the Forestry Road Range Road 41a for 4 kilometers. If it's the winter season this is as far as you'll get as the winter gates will be closed until April 30th. Continue south on the road for 3 km's and then turn west. This should be your staging area. Two temporary bridges (locked gates) are in place across the creek (April 2012), but these will be removed once Husky finishes their reclamation work on an old wellsite. Thus once these have been removed a creek crossing will be required.

From Germany to Brazil, Czech Republic to the UK, Australia to the USA, Mexico to South Africa - lager is brewed all over the world and it is the world's best-selling beer style. Why? Quite frankly, because it is epic! Easy drinking, thirst-quenching and a great accompaniment to food. Not bad for a style that started out in the cold, dark caves of the Bavaria region in Germany back in the day.
Today we're launching the Hospitality Support Alliance. Along with our friends at Master of Malt, we'll be donating £1 for every order placed on our websites over the next month to support hospitality workers who are struggling to make ends meet because of COVID-19 crisis.

Sudanese defence minister Jamal Al Din Omar died on Wednesday of a heart attack while on an official visit to neighbouring South Sudan.
Omar was in the country's capital of Juba, taking part in peace talks between his country's transitional government and rebel groups. He attended meetings that stretched into late on Tuesday and died early on Wednesday, Sudanese military and government officials said.
Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok mourned the general's passing in a tweet, saying: "Today our country has lost one of its loyal and loyal sons."

24/7 DOXA Content 2019 MONDAY, 13th May-THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD
John 6 vs
29》》"Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."~》》WEB》
We've been learning about believing in the existence of God which is always the safest side to be. However, believing God exists doesn't mean you have faith in God and His works. Some people do believe God's existence, yet they worship idols. Nevertheless, believing the existence of God is the only pathway that leads you to believe in Him and His works. For it takes believing His existence to believe in Him. You can't worship or believe in someone you think doesn't exist.
Hebrews 11: 6 affirms that: "Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to Him must BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS and that He rewards those who diligently search for Him." Jesus also unveiled a vital truth in John 14:1: "Don't let your heart be troubled. BELIEVE IN GOD. Believe also in ME." Therefore, don't just believe God's existence, believe in His Person and work. What is the work of God? _"Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM HE HAS SENT."(John 6:29)._ Hallelujah! This is the ultimate truth that can transform the course of your destiny. The work of God is believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
It is by so doing that you'll receive eternal life. Whoever believes the one true God should believe in His Son also; God sent His Son to this world to save us from our sins and to give us ETERNAL LIFE (Matthew 1:21/ John 3:15,16). Friend, you will never be saved or have eternal life by just believing God exists; but you would be SAVED (from sin, Satan, condemnation, hell, curses, spiritual death) UNTO (eternal life, blessings, joy, peace, sanctification, righteousness etc) when believe in Jesus. Cherished one, you are not saved and safe until you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. For this is the work of God. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
Faithful and True Father of All Ages. I thank You for executing Your perfect redemption plan for my salvation. I believe You exist forevermore. I believe in Your Person and work . I believe in Your Begotten Son, Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I enjoy eternal life, peace and joy unspeakable. Thank You for saving me in Jesus Glorious Name. Amen!
◇ Enjoy A Fruitful Monday ◇
Prayer Alert:
Pray and thank God for this great Salvation through Christ Jesus.

Elite MLM Leads powered by Media professionals is one of the premier mlm leads companies in the industry and it's easy to see why... Elite operates with a single passion: generating the world's most responsive and best converting business opportunity leads. Its reputation for high quality service and network marketing leads is recognized throughout the industry.
Bought MLM leads are still not going to be laydown sales, you WILL still need to talk to them, qualify them and move them along in the process. When you receive the email that you have a new lead in, call them and ask them how you can help, if they are nasty or negative, just get off the phone. Never, whether you bought the lead or not, try to convert someone who is nasty or negative, it just is not worth your time.
Develop a referral program. Just like in other businesses, people who are referred by others are easier to convert to a sale than people who weren't, because they're usually coming to you with some interest in buying. Many people you talk to won't be interested in buying right away, but they might know people who are. Happy customers may want to share your product or business. You can develop a referral program to give people incentive to refer others to you. For example, you can give them a 10 percent discount on their next purchase for every new customer they refer.
The Leadpower Promise: Here at LeadPower we talk through experience, we have been generating leads since 1998 and have helped over 167,779 network marketers. The founder of our company founder has been a network marketer himself for over 20 years. He has built some very large groups consisting of well over hundreds of thousands of distributors. He understands how network marketing works and understands sauce how lead generation works as well.
Our Telephone Interviewed Leads are not just contact lists. Our Verification Department has contacted each individual lead before you receive it to ensure their seriousness in wanting to start a home based business. You will receive all of their contact information and best time to call so that you are able to contact them at a convenient time and speak with an individual that is sincere about making money from home. We also offer our Telephone Interviewed Leads in female only for any business that prefers contacting only women.
Let's face it, everyone in a home business wants high quality mlm leads. What they don't want is the high price normally associated with them. OppSeekers has developed methods to get you the quality business opportunity leads you need at the price you want. By utilizing cutting edge mlm lead generation technology, OppSeekers gathers top quality more efficiently home based business opportunity leads and then passes the savings on to you.
Email Autoresponder – Your lead capture page webform should feed an email autoresponder. When a prospect completes and submits the webform, they should be subscribed to your email autoresponder. The email autoresponder should then send out personalized email messages to the prospect on your behalf. At the same time, the email autoresponder should send you an email notification of the new lead that was just generated.
LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a subscription-based software tool designed to provide additional features to your LinkedIn account for $79.99 per month. Specifically, it includes advanced keyword and search filters to identify new leads and gives you the ability to import your existing contacts to use predictive search to identify similar prospects. This makes it ideal for B2B sales reps who want to make direct connections with decision-makers at their target companies.
Let's face it, everyone in a home business wants high quality mlm leads. What they don't want is the high price normally associated with them.

OK, so back to where we were, you have your mlm leads capture page all set up and now you want some traffic. Lets say you choose to buy it from Facebook, because it's the easiest to use. Google is very difficult and not at all user friendly. How traffic works is you need to bid against everyone else who wants the same traffic as you. The higher the bid the more likely it is you will get the visitors to your site.
If you are seeking a more economical real time lead to build your MLM business, then you've come to the right place. With our Real Time Short Form Leads, the prospects are viewing a very similar work at home landing page as our Real Time Surveyed Leads, just more to the point, only asking for the most essential information. With our Real Time Short Form Leads, you will receive the name, email, and phone number for each prospect, and it will be delivered to your personal email as soon as they visit the website and enter their information requesting a call back.
Build an email list. There is a system for working with leads. The first step is getting them to be aware of and take an interest in what you have—by visiting your website, for example. The next best step is to ask your leads to sign up for your email list. You can get them to sign up by offering something for free, such as a report or something useful, from your website. For instance, if you're selling wellness products, then you might offer a guide to good-for-you ingredients or recipes. This will allow you to communicate with your prospects and provide valuable information related to your business and the general field that it's in, such as special sales, events, news, and research—and stay top-of-mind to your past, current, and possible future customers. Just be sure that you're following the laws and regulations regarding email marketing.
Salesfully is a simple lead database that offers both B2B and consumer leads for a low monthly price of $29. While it lacks direct CRM integration, Salesfully does not limit the number of leads you can download each month. It also offers a simple search interface with a real-time update of the number of leads that fit your search profile. Salesfully is especially useful for B2B sales teams that are looking for an affordable place to access large numbers of business leads.
The sales lead component of D&B Hoovers includes information on over 120 million business records covering over 1,000 industries in 190 countries, making it more comprehensive than any other option on this list. It provides the most robust list segmentation capabilities and is ideal for fine-tuned searching within geographic territories. D&B Hoover also offers seamless lead integration with many CRMs, though they aren't listed on the website.

Does your MLM Business Opportunity cater to women? If so, it only makes sense to focus your prospecting efforts towards the right audience, so that your recruiting efforts will garner the most effective results. With Real Time Female Leads, not only will we gear our advertisements towards this target audience with our Entrepreneurial Women and Work at Home Moms focused landing pages, but we'll take it one step further and run a secondary on-the-fly proprietary sorting technique to guarantee you will only be speaking to women! Don't worry about delays in delivery, as this process involves on page AJAX validation, which provides real time analysis before the prospect even submits their information. As with all of our Real Time Leads, these prospects will be in your inbox instantaneously, giving you the opportunity to follow up with them at the ultimate time immediately!
One of the most effective ways to drive traffic to a lead capture page is to purchase Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising from search engines. While that has worked, there are two drawbacks to that: 1) Google isn't interested in providing PPC ads for home business opportunities, especially when traffic is not directed to a unique lead capture page, and B) PPC advertising can be expensive. Our research shows that you'll have to spend between $2.50 to $9.00 PER CLICK at a search engine just to get any sort of volume of targeted traffic to your lead capture page.
"Just wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the quality of the leads I have received. I have set appointments that I have either closed already or have very positive outlooks. The prospects I have talked with have been, for the most part very positive and were in fact looking for a home based business. It's nice not to get "blown off" when people answer the phone or have them tell me they were not looking for information on Melaleuca. Keep up the good work."
At the other end of the spectrum is buying leads. This is also not the best option since it can be very expensive and may result in leads that may not actually be interested in your products or business. These are not great leads, either. The best leads will always be the ones you generate yourself—people who have shown some sort of interest in what you have to offer.
Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of how the best MLM leads are generated , we are able to dramatically improve overall conversion rates and quality of network marketing leads by adjusting the entire opt-in process through the eyes of your prospects. Our job is to understand what your prospects want and to help them get it. We believe technology and design should follow people, not the other way around.
"I had pretty tough time getting my downline in order. With no leads coming my way through contacts, I decided to avail the services of a professional MLM leads provider. Business Opportunity Leads was my obvious choice due to the multiple guarantees you get while signing-up. Basically, I had nothing to lose when I signed-up because my business was going nowhere without quality MLM leads and your guarantees assured me that I won't be ripped-off of my hard-earned money. The results were terrific. Many leads turned into sales and my business was back on track. My HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO YOUR TEAM!"
Our Fresh Surveyed Leads are a popular and cost effective lead option to build your business. These prospects range in age from 0 to 7 days old, and have responded to an online offer about starting their own home based business. Each lead will contain the prospect's full contact information, email, and phone, plus answers to up to five survey questions. Your leads will be conveniently delivered all at once in a single batch, allowing you to start prospecting immediately.
We choose UpLead as the best overall place for small businesses to buy business leads based on its simple interface, robust search features, and affordable monthly subscription plan. In addition, UpLead offers the option of one-click export to your connected CRM, making it the best choice for businesses wanting a simple way to buy leads and add prospects to their sales process.
Better than MLM Genealogy Leads, our Real Time Networker Leads not only have previous experience and involvement in a MLM / Network Marketing Business Opportunity, but they are actively looking right now to start a New Business right now! Unlike MLM Genealogy Lists, we are not providing you a stale list of people who were involved in an MLM program in the past. Your time is more valuable than that. Dialing through a old list of names can be very unproductive, as many of these people may have just been product users, and not the business builder you are even seeking. And for those you do reach, you'll find that the majority have ZERO interest in starting another business. Real Time Networker Leads are so much different and BETTER than any type of MLM Genealogy Lead. Previous MLM Experience and Currently Looking to Start a New Business. It doesn't get better than that!
Let's face it, everyone in a home business wants high quality mlm leads. What they don't want is the high price normally associated with them. OppSeekers has developed methods to get you the quality business opportunity leads you need at the price you want. By utilizing cutting edge mlm lead generation technology, OppSeekers gathers top quality more efficiently home based business opportunity leads and then passes the savings on to you.
Don't let our low prices fool you. Just because we wanted to offer reasonable prices to our customers doesn't mean our List of Leads doesn't contain anything other than the highest quality leads. You may even see other companies offering similar Lists for more money and think that they must have a better List. Guess what? They don't! We just want to really help you find any and all of the Business Opportunity Seekers who can help you with your particular business. Any questions? We are here for you! Contact us today for a personal answer to any questions you may have for us.
Our goal is to provide you with the best possible tools to build your network marketing business. There are some critical areas in building your business that are very important and can never be overlooked. Having new prospects look at your business is by far the most important task you can ever accomplish in network marketing. The next key, is having the skill set and knowing what to say to prospects. We provide ongoing real-time prospects that are looking for ways to make an additional income by working from home and we also provide you with scripts and training calls where you can listen to us do live calls and speak to prospects.

Maggie, it's time to practice!
Updated: Jul 12, 2019
Have you ever found yourself saying this to your young piano student? This is perhaps the most visited topic over the course of my career and I am pretty certain that I am not the only piano educator who gets asked this question, "How can I get Maggie to practice the piano?" The truth is there isn't any one answer because children go through phases or stages with each stage having its own unique characteristics. However drawing from my educational training, we know that being an authoritative parent offers the best results and leaves the child being more responsible, better able to self-regulate (which is needed for success in school), respectful of adults and rules, less anxious, more warm and compassionate, and they tend to struggle less with social issues.
My best answer to this question isn't a single answer, but several suggestions. I will cover each suggestion over the next 6 blog posts.
Attend lessons with your child. This is one of the best ways to show your child your support and interest in what they are learning. While this will not work for all parent/child relationships, it will for many.
You may want to discuss this with your child's teacher prior to the lesson, so that you both understand your role and any special requests the teacher may have of you. Some special requests that your child's teacher may make, is to:
Take lots of notes so that you are able to help your child during the week. Even though your child's teacher will keep a lesson assignment, your notes can help fill-in the blanks.
Keep all your questions for a designated "question time," perhaps the last 5 minutes of the lesson.
Be a silent observer.

No matter where I travel around the world, I enjoy going to trendy cafes. These are my "fun things to do in each city". And when I am back home I go to instagrammable cafes in sydney for breakfast, brunch, and coffees. Today I am going to share where I have been lately and I will add more places as I see fit. So feel free to save this page for future reference.
Whether you are a local or just visiting, you this straight to the point guide will help you uncover the best places to take photos in Sydney and eat at the same time. So let's begin!
Click on the "Address" for the direct link to google maps. You are welcome 🙂
If you are new, check out my extensive travel guide to Sydney. Everything you need to know before you travel to Sydney, Australia.
10 Photogenic Instagrammable cafes in Sydney
1. Cafe Sydney
Cafe Sydney has to be the famous cafe in Sydney. From here you can see the Sydney harbour bridge and a tiny bit of Opera House too, making it one of the best instagrammable cafes in sydney. It is located at the Customs House in Circular Quay.
If you want to get the best photos of Sydney while brunching this could be it. The food is fresh and delicious, the wine list is fantastic and the bar manager was so informative and accommodating when asking for specific cocktails. Recommend to book your table in advance it is a favourite of locals as well as tourists and gets super busy!
Address: 5 Sydney Customs House, 31 Alfred St, Sydney NSW 2000
Hours: Every day 12 – 10 PM
Phone: (02) 9251 8683
2. Social Hideout
Social Hideout is one of the prettiest cafes in Sydney. You can get some beautiful photos for Instagram as well as eat instagrammable food and drinks! Recommend to try out the breakfast and Red Velvet Iced Latte in the tub. The presentation of food and atmosphere matches pretty well.
They opened their first store in waterloo and now the second store is in Parramatta. You can get there either by taking a Uber or a train from Townhall or Central in the CBD. I think social hideout can be one of the most instagrammable cafes in the world.
Address: Shop 4/5/25-33 Allen St, Waterloo NSW 2017
Address: 2a/20 Victoria Rd, Parramatta NSW 2150
Both stores open till 3 pm every day
3. Baby Coffee Co
If you want to treat yourself and get that perfect pastel Instagram picture, this is the place to go. You can choose to order electronically using their app, or face-to-face; giving freedom of choice to those who like their privacy or those who want top-notch customer service. Recommend trying their special chef's dinner that happens once a month
Address: Shop 1/810 Elizabeth St, Waterloo NSW 2017
Hours: every day 7 am – 3 pm
Phone: 0468 462 229
4. Kusuka Cafe
Kusuka Cafe is not just a cafe but they also offer modern Indonesian dining right in the city center. If you are into cute Instagram spaces and enjoy trying something different, this is your answer.
Although slightly small in size, they know how to make insta worthy cafe! I really loved those quotes on the wall and the touch of Christmas vibes. Recommend to try their special drinks and modern Indonesian meals. I loved the mi goreng roasted pork! They really are one of the instagrammable cafes in Sydney CBD.
Address: Unit 12/339 Sussex St, Sydney NSW 2000
Hours: Open every day for breakfast and dinner
Phone: (02) 8033 0532
5. Bourke Street Bakery Cafe
It has excellent breakfast options, the pork and fennel sausage roll are my favourite. It is very small in size but the aesthetic is vintage rustic vibe. If that' your Instagram vibe it will be perfect for your feed.
Bourke bakery is also good value for money, but it does get pretty crowded so get there early or on weekdays. They have branches all around Sydney now but my favourite is the original one in Surry hills.
Address: 633 Bourke St, Surry Hills NSW 2010
Hours: M – F 7-6 S & S 7-5pm
6. Cuppa Flower
If you are into flowers then this florist cafe should do it for you! Beautiful arrangements of flowers in one corner and delicious food make up for dreamy Instagrammable pictures! You have to order from the counter by yourself and if you pay cash will receive 5% off.
Cuppa Flower now has 3 locations in Sydney but I have only been to the waterloo one and recommend the pancakes there. Just look at the picture above! If this is not mouth-watering I don't know what is!
Address: 1/15 Allen St, Waterloo NSW 2017
Hours: Open till 3 PM every day
Phone: (02) 8319 4116
7. Celsius coffee
Celsius coffee is one of the best cafes north Sydney. It offers pretty Sydney harbour views as well as the hearty meals and great coffee. When I went there on an early Saturday morning, luckily was not very busy and had a seat straight away without waiting. So go early for that Insta shot and good times!
Address: Commuter Wharf, Holbrook Ave, Kirribilli NSW 2061
Hours: Open every day till 2:30 and Saturday and Sunday till 3 pm
Phone: (02) 9922 2245
8. Speedos cafe
North Bondi is a fun place to go for sun and beach shooting but also for breakfast and brunch! Speedos offer perfect instagrammable view of Bondi beach and nice portion sizes and good menu.
It has a local crowd feel which is really nice but does get busier as the morning unfolds. Recommend to go early or on the weekdays and try their blue bliss bowl, the sweet potato fries, and the watermelon fizz! The blue bliss bowl is made to look like the ocean and the flavours are fantastic together.
Address: 126 Ramsgate Ave, North Bondi NSW 2026
Hours: Open every day till 5 PM
Phone: (02) 9365 3622
9. The Pantry Manly
Manly is one of my favourite spots in Sydney. I think the Pantry Manly location is just perfect with the beach right at the front and that is what makes it one of the pretty cafes in Sydney. Their vibe is an upscale, breezy restaurant with beach views and rustic-chic decor, serving Modern Australian dishes.
For fun and delightful morning head to Manly, take that must-have Instagram shot right at the Pantry Manly with your wholesome breakfast, fresh juice and coffee. On saying that, I do want to try out their dinner one time soon!
Address: Ocean Promenade, N Steyne, Manly NSW 2095
Hours: Opens every day from 7:30 AM to 9 PM
Phone: (02) 9977 0566
10. The Grounds of Alexandria
The Grounds of Alexandria is one of the most famous cafes Sydney. One of the reasons locals and visitors love to visit here is because the interiors are changed from month to month. So, every month you go you see something different! They are definitely Instagram friendly and they have a second branch in the city too.
The team at the grounds have really built such a lovely and thoughtful place. It is just suitable for everyone: Instagrammers, food bloggers, individuals seeking a place for inspiration or just good coffee, chit chat with friends, or even big groups. Recommend to try their homestyle food and speciality coffee. It does get busy, so if possible go during the weekdays or reserve a table online beforehand.
Address: 7a/2 Huntley St, Alexandria NSW 2015
Hours: Open every day till 2 PM
Phone: (02) 9699 2225

Water Cooler Games has an interesting story about documentary games (or docu-games), such as Escape from Woomera a Half-life mod designed as a direct critique of Australia's inhumane detention centres; Waco Resurrection that revisits the 1993 Waco tragedy, and the controversial JFK Reloaded. Ian Bogost, the author of the post, points to Cindy Poremba's blog for more information on the topic, to which she is devoting her Ph.D. research (PDF of her research proposal).
Paris Riots
Bogost also mentions a new game that MIGHT belong to the genre. Paris Riots is a mod of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault in which the player is invited to take side in the simulation of last year's civil unrest in France. The game uses real-world photography and video as a supplement to the game. Its author, Sylvain Gaillard, a French art graduate, has been violently criticized by the national press who took the game very seriously. However he explained to blog-territorial that it's exactly the role of the media that he wanted to denounce in the game, the game "shouldn't be taken so seriously," he said. "I don't want to transmit any political message, be it anti-police or anti-youth from the suburbs. My aim is to make people think, to get the debate."
Waco Resurrection
Back to docu games: Cindy Poremba's gives a comprehensive list of them in her research proposal (PDF):

The Jets only started their rebuilding project during free agency, and it's clearly far from finished. There is work to be done in several key areas, including at cornerback, receiver, and along the offensive line.
New GM Joe Douglas has eight draft picks to finish that work, including four valuable selections in the first two days of the draft. There's still a month to go before the first pick is made on April 23, but here's one look at how Douglas' selections could go in SNY's first Jets 7-round Mock Draft:
First round (11th overall) - Alabama OT Jedrick Wills
There is a very good argument for taking a receiver here, especially since it's possible no receiver will come off the board in the Top 10 picks. Taking the top-rated prospect at a position of need will be enticing.

The diversification of media types and formats grows in line with the exponential increase in the information available. The rise in publications of research data in fields such as meteorology, earth and climate science is a new kind of scientific communication. This research data is of great value to current and future research. In contrast to text documents, research data, with its graphic visualisations, places different demands on indexing, searchability and presentation in the information retrieval process.
The aim of the project was the development and prototypical implementation of innovative approaches for interactive, graphical access to research data, to present it in the information retrieval process and make it searchable in the best possible way. In the project, data analysis processes as well as visual search systems were being studied and developed further, with their prototypical implementation being evaluated in the GetInfo specialised portal. The objective was not only the immediate search in research data, but also metadata based searches. The requirements in respect of the search process, as well as the presentation of search results from the users' perspective were to be intensively studied and the findings incorporated into the development process.

In the slanted world of Charlotte Alter, the "center" is liberal 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg and Barack Obama made voting an "act of love." MSNBC on Tuesday brought on the Time magazine journalist to explain the state of millennials politics and how her generation will "transform America." The book, The Ones We've Been Waiting For, pulls its title from a Barack Obama speech.
Tur, who is 36, made no effort to check the biases of Alter, who is 36. Speaking of millennials and Obama, Alter enthused, "One reason is that Barack Obama was such a transformative figure for people. And he was for many people our age the first president that they really got behind. And he made voting into an act of love. "
According to the Time journalist, this doesn't bode well for Joe Biden or Michael Bloomberg:
After Tur explained that democratic socialism "is not a scary term" for young people, Alter lectured that the word socialism no longer means what it actually means:
Another thing the book is about, apparently, is that Buttigieg is now the "middle" and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now the left:
Alter is the same journalist who was mocked for saying that millennials like her had "never experienced American prosperity." For the record, she went to Harvard and is the daughter of best selling author Jonathan Alter. Sounds like prosperity, right? In 2019, Alter wrote a fawning Time cover story on Ocasio-Cortez, calling her a "phenom" and "the best storyeller in the party."
MSNBC Live
KATY TUR: Americans born between 1980 and 1996 have a much different outlook on life and this country. Columbine, September 11th and the great recession shaped their world view. Now in their mid 20s to late 30s, this new generation is not only starting to make its political will known, it is also starting to take on leadership roles. The new book The Ones We've Been Waiting For contrasts two of the nation's youngest politicians, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "Just as Pete had rooted his campaign in his experience of 9/11, school shootings and the war on terror, AOC rooted her endorsement of Sanders in her own experience as a working class millennial waitress with student debt." The book features a list of 10 millennial, including members of Congress, Representatives, alumni of the Obama White House and representatives from city and state government.
Joining me now, Time magazine national correspondent, Charlotte Alter. She is the author of the new book The Ones We Have Been Waiting For: How a New Generation of Leaders Will Transform America. So, Charlotte, I picked this book up and I had a hard time putting it down, which I think is the best endorsement you can give any piece of reading material. also found it really not only inspiring, but also kind of hit home for me because I'm a millennial, and the events that you base this book around are events that I experienced when I was basically the same age as many of these — as many of the people you profiled. Tell me, what did you learn about millennials and what they want?
CHARLOTTE ALTER: So this is exactly the point, right? Social scientists have found that people actually base their politics on the events that they experienced in early adulthood. And once you reach kind of your late 30s, early 40s, really even your mid 30s, most of your attitudes are set. So it's not really about being young or being old. It's what events shaped your perception of America and its role in the world? For a lot of people our age it was 9/11, the great recession, the wars that followed 9/11, which made a lot of people our age skeptical of foreign interference abroad.
TUR: Hasn't been an optimistic few decades.
ALTER: No, it's not been great. But in there you had the election of Barack Obama, which was utterly transformational for a lot of millennials. And then you have these leader-ful, social movements that have kind of given rise to the progressive movement as we know it now and have really rooted millennial activism in this kind of networked, non-hierarchal structure that helps us understand how they see power differently than their parents did.
TUR: How do they see — and this is — you don't only profile Democrats. Elise Stefanik is in it. Dan Crenshaw is in it as well. But generally, you found that most millennials are more progressive than baby boomers or even Generation X, if I'm not mistaken. How has that shaped what they're looking for and what they will lead, how they will lead in the future? Democratic socialism is not a scary term for them?
ALTER: Exactly. So, one of the things I try to get at in this book is the extent to which 20th century attitudes that our parents and grandparents had, are sort of evolving and even crumbling into the 21st century. So, for example, socialism means something different now than it did in the 1980s. And, again, the oldest millennials were 8 or 9 when the Berlin wall fell. So, they don't have any of that Cold War context around socialism that our parents and grandparents might. Attitudes around the free market, attitudes around foreign interference, attitudes around morality, the morality of the Christian right in particular, even the Republicans I spoke to seem to have kind of moved on from the issue of marriage equality. They're just like, "That's over. That's settled. You know, we're great with marriage quality. Let's move on." There are certain issues, for example, climate change, racial equality and marriage equality, in particular, that millennial Democrats and Republicans seem to be agreeing on.
TUR: They're also dealing with, people of our generation, crushing student debt, which is why you see AOC talking about what it means to go to college, what it means to be paying for college for the rest of your life. That is not something that baby boomers had to deal with. It's not something that the greatest generation had to deal with. People weren't going to college at the same numbers they are now.
ALTER: Yeah. When Mitch McConnell graduated from college in 1964, tuition cost $360. So the sheer cost of college has gone way up and $360. So just the sheer cost of college has gone way up. And the funding for public universities has gone way down.
TUR: Cut by Baby Boomers.
ALTER: Cut by Baby Boomers. Exactly.
TUR: Who are telling millennials to suck it up, because they had to do it, even though they didn't have that debt.
ALTER: Exactly. So, one of the things this book is about is the swing from the center right politics in the 1980s and '90s, that was defined by Reagan on one side and Clinton on the other. It's swinging back to the left. A style of politics that may be defined by AOC on the far left and maybe someone like Pete Buttigieg in the middle.
TUR: Why doesn't our generation vote in large numbers?
ALTER: It's a great question. I think that it's because, first of all, millennial turnout did double in the 2018 midterms from 2014. So, it's certainly going in the right direction. But one reason is that Barack Obama was such a transformative figure for people. And he was for many people our age the first president that they really got behind. And he made voting into an act of love. So, I don't think millennials think of voting as their duty, they think of it as something they only do for something they care about and really believe in. And that makes it really hard for somebody like a Michael Bloomberg or a Joe Biden to attract millennial voters, because they don't believe in them that much.

It's no surprise that great music and New York City go hand in hand. Fans of music history know that the city was the birthplace of many musical geniuses from Ella Fitzgerald, Lou Reed and Carole King to The Velvet Underground, Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z.

And if you're an old-school audiophile, you'll appreciate the bountiful and genre-spanning record stores the city has to offer.
Downtown Music Gallery
When Downtown Music Gallery first opened its doors in 1991, there were over one hundred record stores in business in Manhattan. Now, twenty-eight years later, there are less than a dozen. It's no doubt that nostalgia is part of the charm when walking into DMG (located just a thirty-minute walk from The Wagner, a hudson-river hotel), which is home to an impressive collection of avant-garde jazz, contemporary classical, and progressive rock albums. Regardless of whether you go home with three records or one, you're sure to experience a bit of New York's music history during your visit.
Dance lovers will find their groove at this beat-oriented music shop in Williamsburg. Stock up on your favorite house, synthwave, electronic or dub jams, or score new finds to play at your next dance party.

Turntable Lab
Turntable Lab, or "the lab" as known by their customers, is world-renowned for its phenomenal collection of tastemaking records. Started in 1999 in founder Peter's college apartment, The Lab continues to be a one-stop-shop for music ad DJ-connoisseurs alike. Whether you're a fan of Coltrane or El Ten Eleven, this is the spot where you're guaranteed to discover your new favorite vinyl. Just be warned, you'll want to grab three or four more for the music lovers in your life.
Academy Records
