Impact on the socioemotional development and long-term success of students provided in the form of statistics, current events, anecdotes, reflections, and communal sharing.
Hitting the Mark: Effective Academic and Financial Policies for Low-Income Families
An informative and interactive presentation and discussion on the realities of low-income households and the strategies that support the success of low-income students and their families. Gain best practices to support low-income students financially and academically through open format sharing. Prepared student profiles allow for real-world understanding and solutions to ensure student success in and outside of the classroom.
Reading Between the Lines: Admissions & Diversity Recruitment Strategies
Facilitators: Jose Garcia (Bryant University) and Mercy Bell (Beacon Academy)
What does it mean to go "above and beyond" for recruitment with a student and their family? Where do we allow race and class to be barriers, and how can we more adeptly engage and retain students, families, and communities of color? What does it mean to set a goal for diversity? These questions will be explored through the lens of high school and college admissions policies and best practices.
Bold Advocacy in the College Process: Supporting Low-Income Students and Families for Extraordinary Admissions Results
Common challenges for low-income students and their families in the college process are often hidden. The purpose of this workshop is to expose the key needs for college success. Subjects discussed include test preparation, financial aid package analysis, college list creation, and the challenges of family inclusion. We encourage this workshop for admissions officers, as well as student advisors and mentors, who are engaged with low-income students throughout the 10th, 11th and/or 12th grade year.
Parents for Equity: How to Lead Your School Community on Topics of Inclusion
Facilitators: Gretchen Cook-Anderson (Director of Diversity, IES Abroad) and Marsha Feinberg (Founder, Beacon Academy)
Parent power is real! Hear how parents mobilize their school communities to become advocates on behalf of all students across racial and socioeconomic lines. Be inspired by real life examples of parents influencing policy and practices at the administrative level and their strategies for creating more honest and open dialogues around race and class in their homes.

Buy Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey
The last Atelier game, Atelier Sophie, began a new trilogy. It was more simplified and more basic than any game since Atelier Rorona. It was still enjoyable but felt like a step back. Perhaps that is why Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey is an ambitious attempt to do more with the franchise. This is good to some degree, as it allows for new ideas and concepts, but ambition isn't always success, and in some ways, Firis is the victim of its own aspirations.
Atelier Firis opens in a small underground city that's sealed from the outside world except for a single doorway that's only opened to allow hunters and traders in and out. In this small city lives a girl named Firis, whose natural gift for finding ore is matched by her desire to see the outside world. Her life changes when an alchemist named Sophie shows up and blows the door wide open. Sophie's alchemy draws Firis' admiration, and before long, she is her student. Firis' village offers her a chance: If, within one year, she can complete the exam to be recognized as a licensed alchemist, then she can leave the village. Otherwise, she must return. Firis sets out on her journey.
Unlike most recent Atelier games, Firis doesn't have a central hub since you're on a journey. Instead, you're exploring the world map and can step up your atelier to craft any campfire in the world. You're still given a guided path and a focused world, but it's closer to open-world gameplay than anything else in the franchise. It has some of the largest and most wide-open areas and, perhaps more critically, a lot less focus. You come into an area, and you're asked to explore it and find your way forward. The game has quest markers but not for every objective, and sometimes, you're just asked to explore. It's a far more unrestricted game than even Atelier Shallie, despite the time limit imposed during the start of the game.
Freedom is the name of the game when it comes to completing objectives. Your goal is to pass your alchemist's exam within a year and earn the recommendation of three alchemists along the way. As long as you're doing that, you can do generally whatever you want, and the game rewards you for it. A big part of this is the Idea system. Similar to Atelier Sophie, you learn alchemy recipes by completing tasks. You're given hints about what can unlock those recipes, and you can pick what you want to focus on. You can also complete side-quests to unlock Idea Points, which are used to circumvent the requirements for learning a recipe. Complex recipes require more Idea Points, so it's often wise to try before you buy.
You're somewhat limited in your freedom by your LP, which are Life Points and a legacy Atelier mechanic. Effectively, it is how much energy you have. Taking actions reduces LP, while resting or crafting restores it. The lower it gets, the less effective Sophie is at fighting and gathering. If it reaches zero, you're given a chance to rest or you'll collapse. Fortunately, you can craft equippable items that can reduce the wear and tear on your LP. A pickax makes it easier to break rocks, and a mining bomb can shatter boulders. Mostly, it's there to encourage you to take a break and do some crafting.
Crafting in Atelier Firis follows the basic idea introduced in Atelier Sophie but adds complexity. Like Sophie, the game is built around a Tetris-like board of alchemical ingredients, with every item having its own shape, size and color. Unlike Sophie, you don't constantly swap out cauldrons, but instead, you have catalysts that change the board attributes. Catalysts are consumable items and change depending on the recipe, so you can't choose one and rely on it.
Although crafting is more complex, it's still fun. As always, the heart and soul of an Atelier game is in how it lets you build and craft complex items, and in that respect, Firis is one of the top titles. It combines the engaging system found in Sophie with items that require more care and thought. It's ridiculously engaging to create the perfect combination of ingredients, catalyst and positioning to make a high-powered item. There's also a new Mass Synthesis system that's largely used for plot reasons and lets you craft super-sized items. It's a fun challenge, especially when you're asked to make high-quality items.
Firis has a fun cast that suffers from being non-linear and largely optional. Since it is possible to recruit characters late or never, a lot of them remain on the outskirts and don't contribute to cut scenes. It isn't a critical problem, and some of the cast is pretty fun, but it would've probably been better to have them join up instead of being casual friends. The game does a good job of balancing a wide cast despite the similarity between many of them. There are no fewer than four different ditzy, good-natured alchemist girls, but they're rather distinctive even if they're alike. It's not as strong a cast as any of the Dusk games, but it's still enjoyable.
Combat is still a part of the Atelier franchise. While Firis is similar to Sophie but more aggressive, its combat hasn't reached the highs of the Dusk trilogy. It's a turn-based combat system where players and enemies move along a timeline and act when their turn arrives. You can have up to four people in battle at once, and there's a light formation system where the positioning increases the enemy's likelihood of attacking a specific character.
The big gimmick with Firis is the Chain Burst system. Fighting enemies builds up your Chain gauge, and the gauge can be spent to protect her from damage by having an ally take a hit for her. If you let it build up, you'll enter Chain Burst mode. In Burst mode, several characters can combo their attacks together, and the damage of each attack massively increases. Characters can also learn special super moves, which are performed at the end of a chain. It's neat since it encourages you to consider your character's timing. Working to get consecutive moves by speeding up allies or slowing down enemies is critical for doing the most damage possible.
At times, Firis can feel overcrowded. There are so many systems, mechanics, and things to keep track of. The time limit is generous and eventually goes away, but it only adds to the sensation that this is a very busy game. The last batch of Atelier games only had pressure in the legacy mechanics. This is the first title in a while where I felt pushed to consider my choices. The game feels like it has so many ideas that some are left on the wayside. There are lots of mechanics that feel underbaked, such as the ability to customize your Atelier with new items, which are less interesting than they should.
A major problem with Firis is that its genuine sense of freedom can also work against it. Sometimes, it's annoying to figure out what you have to do next. The maps are large to the point of feeling overly so. An early quest had me looking for a pasture, but it wasn't pointed out where it was located, except "near town" and as a plain green field that looks a lot like the rest of the environment. I found it without too much trouble, but it highlights Atelier Firis' big problem. It wants to give you tons to explore but stick to the plain environments common to the franchise, and it doesn't hit either well enough.
It doesn't help that Atelier Firis isn't very impressive to look at. The visuals haven't changed in about half a decade of Atelier games, and it stands out more with Firis because it's more ambitious. Large, open vistas feel more like busywork. The character models and animations are quite nice, but there are some noticeable frame rate problems, even on a PS4. The soundtrack is nice and remains up to the franchise's high standard. The English voice acting is solid enough, and Japanese voice acting is available for those who prefer it.
The Atelier franchise has always had lackluster translations, but Atelier Firis feels like a low-end one. It doesn't the noteworthy translation errors of Escha & Logy, but characters speak in ways that only make sense for a dry and literal translation from the original Japanese, and it can sound awkward. It isn't enough to sour the game, but it stands out a fair bit, especially when playing with the Japanese voice track and seeing the extra energy in the original script.
Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey is a solid and enjoyable JRPG that feels a bit too ambitious for its own good. The mechanics can sometimes feel overly bloated and overcrowded, and the graphics don't live up to the concepts. At its core, the alchemy is among some of the most fun in the franchise. It doesn't live up to the highs of the Dusk series, but Atelier Firis is still an enjoyable entry in the long-running franchise, and it's a very solid improvement on Sophie's strengths.
Score: 8.0/10

March Of The Pigs (halo)
From NinWiki
Revision as of 10:59, 16 February 2007 by GrayscaleRain (Talk | contribs)
"March of the Pigs" (also known as Halo 7) a single for the song of the same name released in 1994. It was released as a teaser single prior to the album The Downward Spiral.
The song
"March of the Pigs" has one of the most unique metres of any song to enjoy popular radio play, alternating three bars of 7/8 time with one bar of 4/4 time (in effect, a 29/8 time signature. The song has a BPM rate of 269.)
A music video was made for this song, directed by Peter Christopherson and released in March 1994. The video features the band performing the song live in front of a white wall backdrop. This video was the last video to be played on MTV2's Increase the Beat, on Memorial Day weekend 2002. At 269 BPM, it had the fastest tempo of the 400+ videos that were played that weekend.
A previous version of the video was partially shot but abandoned, and is included on the Closure DVD. The band performs the song in a red cave-like set with water at their feet, and a midget appears.
Being a staple NIN song with its high energy segued by two piano breakdowns, there is a live performance video of "March of the Pigs" on each of their live releases: Closure , And All that Could Have Been, and Beside You in Time. In the live set, the band extends the song by including an amped up version of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up" at the end of every performance. Also in most(?) performances in the pre-With Teeth eras, the songs starts with the same high pitched squeal it does in the performance video for the song. Since the start of the With Teeth tour, the song now starts with a synth line that matches the one played behind the second set of measures for the song originally (this section now completely omitted from the song, the guitars coming in completely along with they synth after the first drum run through.)
"March of the Pigs" has been covered by Owl, Mae, and fordirelifesake.
Appears On
Versions of this song appear on:
step right up march push crawl right up on your knees please greed feed (no time to hesitate) i want a little bit i want a piece of it i think he's losing it i want to watch it come down don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it i want to watch it come down

all the pigs are all lined up i give you all that you want take the skin and peel it back now doesn't it make you feel better? the pigs have won tonight they can all sleep soundly and everything is all right
The Single
"March of the Pigs" is the seventh official Nine Inch Nails release and a single for the album The Downward Spiral. It contains "March of the Pigs," a remix of this song, two remixes of "Reptile," and an instrumental. A two-disc version was released in the UK, which added a radio edit of "March of the Pigs" and "Big Man With a Gun" from The Downward Spiral.
The disc art for this single features a rolled-up millipede, an image that was later used on the cover of the single "Closer to God".

What Do Those Codes On Stickers Of Fruits And Some Veggies Mean?
Although they seem like a nuisance, the stickers or labels attached to fruit and some vegetables have more of a function than helping scan the price at the checkout stand. The PLU code, or price lookup number printed on the sticker, also tells you how the fruit was grown. By reading the PLU code, you can tell if the fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides.
Here are the basics of what you should know:
- If there are only four numbers in the PLU, this means that the produce was grown conventionally or "traditionally" with the use of pesticides. The last four letters of the PLU code are simply what kind of vegetable or fruit. An example is that all bananas are labeled with the code of 4011.
- If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with "8", this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or vegetable. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables trump being organic. So, it is impossible to eat organic produce that are grown from genetically modified seeds. A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011
- If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with "9", this tells you that the produce was grown organically and is not genetically modified. An organic banana would be: 94011
Incidentally, the adhesive used to attach the stickers is considered food-grade, but the stickers themselves aren't edible.
And here is the full list from the Environmental Working Groups of fruits and vegetables with the least to most pesticides. When shopping, the most important produce to buy organic are those at the bottom of this list http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php .

Is This The End Of Diet Soda?
Huge Study Links Aspartame To Major Health Problems; Sales Drop…
As concerns about health epidemics plague the nation, demand and sales of diet soda have plunged as consumers try to make better choices. As WeSupportOrganic.com reported recently, Aspartame (the main sweetener for diet soda – check the labels) is regarded by scientists as one of the most dangerous ingredients used in our food supply, who have linked it to seizures and a host of other major health issues including fatal cardiovascular events.
In a newly published study [1] (presented in 2014 at the American College of Cardiology, Washington D.C.), 60,000 women were sampled over ten years. It was shown that women who drink two or more diet drinks a day have much higher cardiovascular disease rates and are more likely to die from the disease.
"30% more likely to have a heart attack or stroke, 50% more likely to die from related disease…"
In the largest study done of its kind, The University of Iowa concluded:
"…Compared to women who never or only rarely consume diet drinks, those who consume two or more a day are 30 percent more likely to have a cardiovascular event [heart attack or stroke] and 50 percent more likely to die from related disease.
This is one of the largest studies on this topic, and our findings are consistent with some previous data, especially those linking diet drinks to the metabolic syndrome,' says Dr. Ankur Vyas… the lead investigator of the study.
…The association persisted even after researchers adjusted the data to account for demographic characteristics and other cardiovascular risk factors, including body mass index, smoking, hormone therapy use, physical activity, energy intake, salt intake, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sugar-sweetened beverage intake. On average, women who consumed two or more diet drinks a day were younger, more likely to be smokers, and had a higher prevalence of diabetes, high blood pressure, and higher body mass index."
Soda sales slipping… Thankfully this study comes on the heels of reports of already slipping sales of diet soda, one of the largest aspartame markets.
According to Time Magazine's 2014 report "Soda Sales Drop to Lowest Point Since 1995":
"One reason for the decline could be a growing awareness of the obesity epidemic in the US and growing health concerns surrounding sugar-sweetened beverages. According to Reuters, industry experts say the beverage industry is shrinking under the scrutiny. Even diet-branded drinks have suffered a loss of sales with concerns over artificial sweeteners."
Whatever the reason for the decline, this new study should only add fuel to the movement away from artificial sweeteners. There are plenty of natural sweeteners that people can choose that are regarded as much healthier than aspartame.
Another important note is that the overall sales of soda going down also means that less people are being exposed to (mostly GMO) high fructose corn syrup which carries a whole host of other health risks as well.

Analysis Finds Monsanto's GM Corn Nutritionally Dead, Highly Toxic
Is GMO corn nutritionally equivalent to non-GMO corn? Monsanto will tell you the answer is a big 'yes', but the real answer is absolutely not. And the simple reality is that they are continuing to get away with their blatant misinformation. In fact, a 2012 nutritional analysis of genetically modified corn found that not only is GM corn lacking in vitamins and nutrients when compared to non-GM corn, but the genetic creation also poses numerous health risks due to extreme toxicity.
With the recent passing of the Monsanto Protection Act, there is no question that mega corporations like Monsanto are able to wield enough power to even surpass that of the United States government. The new legislation provides Monsanto with a legal safeguard against federal courts striking down any pending review of dangerous GM crops. It is ironic to see the passing of such a bill in the face of continuous releases of GMO dangers.
Non-GMO Corn 20x Richer in Nutrition than GMO Corn
The 2012 report, entitled 2012 Nutritional Analysis: Comparison of GMO Corn versus Non-GMO Corn, found numerous concerning and notable differences between GMO and non-GMO corn, none of which are particularly surprising. First, the report found that non-GMO corn has considerably more calcium, magnesium,manganese, potassium, iron, and zinc.
- Non-GMO corn has 6130 ppm of calcium while GMO corn has 14 – non-GMO corn has 437 times more calcium.
- Non-GMO corn has 113 ppm of magnesium while GMO corn has 2 – non-GMO corn has about 56 times more magnesium.
- Non-GMO corn has 113 ppm of potassium while GMO corn has 7 – non-GMO corn has 16 times more potassium.
- Non-GMO corn has 14 ppm of manganese while GMO corn has 2 – non-GMO corn has 7 times more manganese.
As far as energy content goes, non-GMO corn was found to 'emit 3,400 times more energy per gram, per second compared to GMO corn', as reported by NaturalNews[1]. Overall, the paper found that non-GMO corn is 20 times richer in nutrition, energy and protein compared to GMO corn.
GMO Corn Also Found to be Highly Toxic

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 46937
'ps' and 'top' hang, unkillably, on read of /proc/xxx/stat
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:34:22 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
Description of problem:
I think this is actually a deadlock of some sort in the kernel, but the
actual effect is that 'ps aux' hangs up and can't be kill -9'ed.
'strace ps aux' runs through a load of the processes and then gives:
stat64("/proc/30945", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("/proc/30945/stat", O_RDONLY) = 7
(Interestingly, I could Ctrl-C out of this. I can't tell if the 'ps'
process died, or just the 'strace', though, because 'ps' doesn't work. ;-)
'xosview' shows that one CPU spends almost 100% of its time doing 'system'
work. (Our machine has 4 CPUs.)
I don't know what triggers this; it's happened twice now, the first time
after 2 weeks of uptime, this time after only about 3 days.
I don't know if this occurs on uniprocessor machines or non-x86 machines.
We have a quad-PIII-Xeon machine and that's what we're seeing it on.
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
When it happens, running 'ps aux' will hang. I haven't found a way to make
it happen yet.
Additional info:
Which kernel version is this ?
2.4.2-2 or the recently released 2.4.3-12 update kernel ?

(usbcore doesn't seem to load successfully, but we don't use USB on the system
anyway. The bus in most use is the megaraid.)
I know it's a lame answer, but could you try upgrading to the 2.4.3-12 kernel?
Now I know it exists, we probably will. The main problem with this is that the
revision histories I've read so far don't make any mention of the sort of
lockups I'm seeing, which leads me to suspect it won't be fixed...
I'll report back if we have the problems again.
'uname' now gives:
Linux bob 2.4.3-12smp #1 SMP Fri Jun 8 14:38:50 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
...and it's happened again. Taken a while for it to occur, admittedly, but it
always was a bit random.
It's crashed 3 times this week, which is annoying since it's a machine used for
compilation and work by about 25 people. Any more bright ideas?
I've put an experimental 2.4.3-15 up at
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels which has a reiserfs bugfix and a
"top crashes" bugfix in it. You could give that a shot, to see if the top bugfix
is actually a fix for your top/ps bug too.
I have experienced the same behavior on a single CPU machine. top and
ps will hang and some of the running processes are extremely slow (at
least 30x slower than normal).

Memory: 1028572k/1048512k available (1365k kernel code, 19552k reserved, 92k dat
a, 236k init, 131008k highmem)
I've now used the new kernel (2.4.3-15). Unsurprisingly, it's doing just the
same thing.
We've monitored the /proc filesystem through the last few lockups and we've
noticed that it always seems to be the directory of an Oracle communications
process (the process that runs when you use the bequeath protocol and
communicates with the server processes). This is an eduacted guess made by
examining the processes that we can still identify on the running system -
obviously, since we can't read the /proc information it's not possible to make a
direct identification of the process.
This is pretty obviously only a trigger, though - no process should be hanging
up on a /proc read.
We've also seen the machine recover from this state, exactly once, with the
2.4.3-12 kernel. We don't know why.
Is there any easy way of getting debugging out of a stock Redhat kernel? Up
until now, we've only tried a unfocussed "upgrade and cross your fingers"
approach, and it sounds to me like we need to try to identify the problem more
specifically so that we can get to the root cause and be certain that we have a
fix for it.
I answered some of my own questions, and I'll attach some information on the
last lockup garnered with SysRq and System.map. In this instance, the machine
was basically idle and the only processors active were 0 (running swapper,
occasionally) and 3 (running the oracle process; 100% system time according to
Created attachment 27693 [details]
SysRq output from the kernel when in a locked state.
I'm seeing this on a RedHat 7.3 system with 2.4.19 (latest RH kernel) Usually
this happens after running a java app (using IBM's JDK 1.3.1 for Linux). The
process will spawn a couple of threads and take all the available CPU. After I
kill the processes, the ps command will hang (as will top). The only way to get
around it is to do a hard reboot (shutdown and reboot do not work).
My kernel is actually 2.4.18-18.7.xcustom (2.4.18-7.x kernel source distributed
by RH plus NTFS support compiled as a module)
That's likely to be a seperate problem -- open a new bug. Please collect the
sysrq output from the kernel, as the backtraces will tell which process is stuck
holding the mm semaphore. Also, check dmesg for any kernel messages during the
run. The original bug this message is referring to is presumed fixed during the
7.x cycle, as several problems of this nature were corrected.
I opened bug 80960 as requested.

No Communion For Republican Obama Supporter
Douglas Kmiec, who worked in the Reagan justice department, was denied communion in April for endorsing Barack Obama. Kmiec's makes a good point when he says if Catholic is to be punished for views on abortion, what about the church's position on war?

"To think you have done a generous thing for your neighbor or that you have built up a culture of life just because you voted for a candidate who says in his brochure that he wants to overturn Roe v. Wade is far too thin an understanding of the Catholic faith," he said. Kmiec, a critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policy, added that Catholics should heed "the broad social teaching of the church," including its views on war.

The risk of economic chaos caused by billions of dollars worth of rival banknotes starting to circulate in Libya may fatally undermine the new unity government in Tripoli, senior European diplomats fear. A political battle between the UN-recognised Tripoli government led by Fayez Sarraj and the Tobruk-based parliament loyal to General Khalifa Haftar in the east has led to parallel splits in the country's financial institutions, with two central banks threatening to circulate rival Libyan dinar banknotes in the country.

A/N: I'm so happy to be writing again. After two years I'm finally lifting out of the miasma of postpartum depression and anxiety, and coming back to things I love. It's an exercise in freedom I haven't felt in a long time.
This being the case, Luminous is getting a massive rewrite. Old sections will now be linked to new posts, and hopefully it will be complete by the end of the year so I can move on to new stories that take place during the Fallen Empire and Eternal Throne expansions.
Prompt – Long Distance [From SWTOR.com forums]
Title – Sisterly Correspondence
Class – Jedi Consular (Aitahea), Smuggler (Tember)
Spoilers: NA [Takes place during Luminous]
Dear Tember,
I hope this message finds you well. I wish I'd been able to answer your last missive sooner, but assignments from the Council have kept me on the move with little time to spare for personal matters. I'm currently returning to Coruscant with some ambassadors from the Outer Rim and may find myself with a little time.
{Days later…}
My apologies, dear sister. I'd intended to finish the above message but was interrupted by a new mission. I'm afraid I won't be arriving on Coruscant as I intended; Prelsiava has in fact already dropped off our passengers and returned to retrieve us on Hoth.
I can nearly hear you saying, "Us?" On Hoth I was asked to rendezvous with a Republic soldier for a mission. Without saying much, we're in a race after a deadly prize. I don't doubt you can probably fill in a few of the blanks yourself. The trooper has been an invaluable help in the search. More personally, his sabacc game is abysmal.
Without knowing more, I can't say when I'll next be able to write. I hope all is well in whatever part of the galaxy you're in. Please give my affection to Mother and Father should you see them.
May the Force be with you,
Hey, don't worry about it. I know it's still kind of weird that you and I share messages anyway, you Jedi and your no family or friends thing, whatever. But you know, I'm glad to hear you're alive and kicking. And I'm glad Sia is there to take care of you! Tell her I said hey, miss her face (and her hair – what color is it now?).
I'll tell Mom and Dad you said hi. I've been seeing them every few months, shuttling back and forth from the Core to the Outer Rim. All legit business, don't worry. Hey, you might even be proud of the work I'm doing. I'll fill you in next time I see you; even an encrypted message isn't completely safe. But you know that, obviously.
Trooper, eh? Nice boys, those. I mean I prefer pirates, but that's just me (I'm kidding, don't freak out). You don't usually mention a partner. So it's going good, I'm going to guess? You could use more friends than Sia and me, if we're honest. Even if they're poodoo at sabacc. You just teach him my methods, your trooper'll be playing tournaments on Nar Shadda in a standard week.
I'm out. We're close to the Outer Rim and you know that's always a fun time. Worst cantinas in the galaxy out here. Or the best. Depending on how drunk you are.
I guess I'll leave it at that. Stay safe out there.
Prelsiava sends her most enthusiastic greetings. Her hair is currently the blue of dlock leaves, with yellow tips, though she says once we're in civilized space again she'll change it. It's stunning on her, as always.
I've only a few moments as we're still on the trail of our quarry, but I'm grateful as always to hear from you. Thank you for giving our parents my greetings, if you've seen them by now. I'm glad to know they have at least one daughter who isn't weighed down with guilt over being unable to visit.
He is not 'my' trooper, sister. He is an associate, though I do appreciate his skill and dedication to our mission. As I said, we're in the thick of our search for a dangerous artifact, and his knowledge is invaluable. He's surprisingly intuitive despite the absence of Force sensitivity. We work together unusually well, which is fortunate given the significance of this mission.
I will take your suggestion for his sabacc skills under advisement. I shouldn't want to lose him to a tournament currently. And until he can best you in a game, he most certainly should not make the attempt.
May the Force be with you,
Tell Sia to send me a holo, if she hasn't changed it yet! I want to show it to one of my crewmates; it'd look good on her. Glad to know she hasn't forgotten me.
I'm surprised to hear from you so soon, I gotta say. I figured when you said mission you'd be dashing around dirtside for a standard month before you'd message me. Hope that trooper of yours can keep up with you.
You're talking an AWFUL lot about a guy who's just an "associate." Please, Ai, I know what it's like to be on a long, tedious mission with a "skilled" man. By the Core, just have a good time. I know you're a Jedi and all, but even you need to blow off some steam.
Anyway, back to the skies again, talk to you soon.
I hope once again this message finds you safe; however if I should find you anytime soon, you may find yourself regretting your incessant teasing.
Our mission continues to become more complex. Our target seems to be constantly moving. I'll leave this message short. We hope to make an anticipatory move of our own soon; I will continue to keep you apprised of our safety.
As always, may the Force watch over you.
Do you even READ what you write?
Ai and her trooper, in a wroshyr tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g.
You still love me.

San Francisco's creeping gentrification was the central theme of a recent musical, City Not For Sale, starring schoolchildren between the ages of 5 and 11.
"It's about how the techies are taking over. And about how a lot of people who made San Francisco diverse are being kicked out of their homes," one of the child performers in the play said on a Vimeo promo of the play, which was put on late last year by the nonprofit CASA (Children's After School Arts Program).
As Breitbart News recently reported, San Francisco is slowly seeing residential turnover in the region's traditionally black neighborhoods with the arrival Silicon Valley professionals who are better able to afford the region's rising prices.
The play was performed at the K-8 Rooftop Alternative School in Twin Peaks. While several of the children's parents reportedly expressed concern over the heavy and adult-like nature of the play, CASA's Executive Director Leslie Einhorn explained to the San Francisco Chronicle that the nonprofit has a history of creating plays from a "social justice perspective" and suggested it was the children who chose the theme.
The play reportedly featured evil privacy-stealing tech execs, a song called the "Eviction Blues," and even hipsters. It reportedly gained attention when the parent of one of the kids in the play, Jon Mooallem, wrote about it for Pop-Up Magazine, drawing upon his own experiencesof deciding whether to stay in San Francisco or not.
The play was also featured in an edition of National Public Radio's weekly show, This American Life, which focused on one father's perplexed reaction to seeing his daughter perform in the heavy musical. For Einhorn, however, the reaction is slightly different.

|Frank Conroy's Pyramid of Literary Craft
I read the article "How Iowa Flattened Literature" and found an interesting image by Frank Conroy, the successor of Paul Engle in the Iowa Writing Workshop, on the art of writing as a pyramid:
Physically, what occurs is that a reader deciphers the words and sentences. In order to make sense of the meaning of the text, he uses the laws of grammar and syntax. If the word is a "cat", a part of the brain light's up and draws an image from its repository of cat images, then associate this image with a sound like "meow". If the word is a "rose", the brain draws the memory of the rose, and associates this with the memory of the rose's fragrance and the soft texture of its petals. As the writer adds more words, the reality of the thing described becomes real as memories--as if the words "take on flesh and dwelt among us." Reading of the text becomes a vicarious experience.
What did [Frank] Conroy assault us in service of? He wanted literary craft to be a pyramid. He drew a pyramid on the blackboard and divided it with horizontal lines. The long stratum at the base was grammar and syntax, which he called "Meaning, Sense, Clarity." The next layer, shorter and higher, comprised the senses that prose evoked: what you tasted, touched, heard, smelled, and saw. Then came character, then metaphor. This is from memory: I can't remember the pyramid exactly, and maybe Conroy changed it each time. What I remember for sure is that everything above metaphor Conroy referred to as "the fancy stuff." At the top was symbolism, the fanciest of all. You worked from the broad and basic to the rarefied and abstract.

Although you could build a pyramid without an apex, it was anathema to leave an apex hovering and foundationless. I'll switch metaphors, slightly, since Conroy did too. The last thing you wanted was a castle in the air. A castle in the air was a bad story. There was a ground, the realm of the body, and up from it rose the fiction that worked. Conroy presented these ideas as timeless wisdom.
B. The Word became Flesh
|The Gospel According to John: A Literary and Theological Commentary
And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.k (Jn 1:14)John explained further in one of his letters:
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life—a 2 for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us—b 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.c (1 Jn 1:1-3)A writer can only hope to incarnate a word, such as a "rose" or a "stone," in the reader's mind, so that the reader can "see" and "touch" and "smell" them, as if they are real, for the brain can perform these functions in the imagination by gathering memories of similar things and piece them together to create a new reality. But the new reality resides only in the memory, but not in actuality. But God took one step further and perfected the incarnation of the word: God made His Own Word take on Flesh and become Man.
C. Literary Craft and Christology
Frank Conroy presented his description of the pyramid of literary craft. What we shall do now is to show how this pyramid can be applied to the analysis of the words and the Person of Christ:
|Grammar as Science
2. Senses evoked. As people know Christ more as he live his life on earth--when he tells his parables, answer questions of Pharisees, change the water into wine, heal the sick, or raise the dead--people saw His face, heard His words, felt His touch, smelled His hands, and tasted what He offered. This is the second level in Conroy's literary pyramid: the senses evoked.
3. Character. But Christ also reveals his character as a human being. He became angry and overturned the tables of merchants in the temple. He felt pity to a sick man in Bethsaida. He ate and drank at the Marriage in Cana. He wept before the tomb of his friend, Lazarus. He cried to heaven on the cross before breathing his last. Some listened attentively to his words. Some became angry and left Him. And some praised God because of Him. Character is the third level of Conroy's literary pyramid.
|The Incarnation of Language: Joyce, Proust and a Philosophy of the Flesh
5. Fancy stuff. We'll just not discuss this in depth, because we don't know yet the literary techniques that this includes. But with Peter we can confess: "You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God" (Mt. 16:16).
6. Symbolism. A symbol is something that stands for something else. It is in this limited sense I shall say that Jesus is the symbol of the Father (though I don't recommend Haight's book, Jesus, Symbol of God, because Vatican pronounces that this book has serious doctrinal errors):
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?e 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.f 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves. (Jn 14:9-11)7. Incarnation. This is the ultimate aim of the literary craft: the word becomes flesh. When God created the heavens and the earth, He simply uttered the words and thing existed from nothing: the moon, the stars, the plants, the animals. Literature can only conjure the images of these objects in the mind, but never create them in reality. When God uttered His Word, the Word became a perfect image of God. And when the Word became Flesh in the person of Christ, what existed out of this world became part of this world--a person who is both God and Man. A metaphor can only suggest. A symbol can only represent. But an incarnation became an Is.

Former Chelsea winger Andre Schurrle has criticised his former manager Jose Mourinho for destroying his Chelsea 'dream' and not having faith in him.
The German winger was Jose Mourinho's first signing during the Portuguese manager's second stint at Chelsea but spent just 18 months at the club before being sold to Wolfsburg for £22million. Despite making 43 appearances in the 2013/14 season, his appearances soon became a rarity and soon the winger fall out of favour during the 2014-15 campaign.
Schurrle scored 14 times in 64 appearances for the Blues and made a habit of turning up in the defining moments as he scored many important goals against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and PSG.
While speaking to the German media Bild, the 26-year-old expressed his disappointment and told that Mourinho didn't give him enough chance to impress after a spell on the sidelines.
"Chelsea was a dream for me. But after I was out for a few weeks through an infection, the coach, unfortunately, did not count on me much more often," the current Dortmund attacker told German newspaper Bild.
"Mourinho showed me how hard life can be as a footballer. If you had one bad game, you would be out of the team."
The former Bayer Leverkusen man is currently rebuilding his career with Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund after joining them last July from Wolfsburg and said he holds no regrets over his time at the club.
"You have to make a decision, and in the end, I only wanted to play football again. Germany manager Joachim Löw told me it would be a great move for me and that is why Wolfsburg are a step forward for me. Wolfsburg have a great team as well and can play for silverware in the Bundesliga and in Europe," he added.
"My experience at Chelsea was great, playing with so many superstars – it was just like I had imagined it. Playing for Chelsea was an absolute dream for me, but following my infection, the manager no longer counted on me."
At Borussia, Schürrle's has faced a topsy-turvy ride with frequent injuries till now but he did make his first league start in two months over the last weekend as BVB beat Bayern 1-0. The winger has scored twice for them and assisted three times in all competitions as BVB sit third in the league table.

As the beat gets counted out you can sense that something big is about to happen. Bang! From the first crack of the drums you're drawn in, soon hit by the tight bass tones, then before you know it a sharp electrifying shred of guitars. Your heart runs, your attention is theirs. Sliding in over the top comes the cool, smooth vocals. It's a bitter sweet sound with the bold rock punch wrapped in a silky melodic package. It puts a smile on your face for days, all you know is you just want more!
This four piece rock powerhouse is lead by Riley Al-Johary; he projects mature song-writing with a voice to be reckoned with. Nathan Garton's guitar riffs pour out loud, thick and solid.

The powerful, precise beats from Carl Hayman on drums provide the robust backbone of this potent brew. With seamless integration and absolute dedication to that which is rock, this band is the complete package.

Autumn Grand Manan Aug 28—Sep 03, 2017

We departed Seal Cove on an absolutely glorious morning for our all-day boat trip into the Bay of Fundy. The temperatures were mild, and there was no wind whatsoever. The ocean was literally like glass as we headed eastward, and anticipation was high among our group. I had built up this boat trip as one of the best pelagic adventures anywhere, and in 25 years, it had never disappointed me.
Almost immediately out of the harbor, we began seeing Black Guillemots dotting the water's surface, and within the first 30 minutes we had tallied more than a hundred individuals. Great Black-backed Gulls followed our boat looking for a handout, and several Common Loons were spotted nearby. We slowed down as we approached Black Rocks and found them covered with Great Cormorants. The light was good, and the birds did not flush, so we had superb views. Numerous Gray Seals with their odd horse-shaped heads were hauled out on the rocks below. Soon, we arrived in deeper water, and shearwaters began to appear around the boat. Our chumming operation began, and within minutes we had Great Shearwaters approaching closely in the wake. A Sooty Shearwater joined in the mix, followed quickly by some Wilson's Storm-Petrels fluttering by in the distance. A couple of Northern Gannets sailed in to check things out, and a small flock of Red-necked Phalaropes went streaming past. Shearwater numbers started to increase rapidly, as we continued onward. Many cruised by nearly at arm's-length with their stunning reflections showing in the mirrored waters of the dead-calm ocean. A Pomarine Jaeger was next to appear and was followed by our first Atlantic Puffin zipping past in the distance like a chubby bumblebee. Activity was so intense now that it was hard to know where to look. Literally dozens of Great Shearwaters and a couple of Sooty Shearwaters were in tow, and some were coming up to within a few feet of the stern. Phalarope numbers took a sharp increase, as hundreds now bobbed about on the ocean around us. Most were Red, but there were many Red-necked for direct comparison. In short time, a pair of Atlantic Puffins were spotted sitting on the water, and they allowed close approach. Storm-Petrel numbers were also increasing, going from scattered individuals to dozens in view at once. Many were flying up the wake, attracted to the fish oil we had put into the water. It wasn't long before Durlan, the mate, spied a Leach's in with the many Wilson's. Its distinctive, erratic nighthawk-like flight distinguished it from the fluttery, swallow-like flight of the Wilson's. As the day progressed, we would estimate nearly 10,000 Wilson's Storm-Petrels seen (a staggering total) and 35 Leach's.

Animal Welfare
How we treat animals is a direct reflection of our character, both as individuals and a nation. Throughout my legislative career, both as a state Senator and as a Member of Congress, I have sponsored and supported legislation to ensure the humane treatment of animals, as well as to protect our nation's wildlife. I am proud to be a member of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus and to have had The Humane Society of the United States and Defenders of Wildlife recognize my voting record with a 100% rating.
Ending Horse Soring
Horse "soring" is a cruel practice that some trainers use to ensure that their horses walk with a desired high-stepping gait, such as the Tennessee Walking Horse. I sponsored the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act to end this cruel practice.
Protecting Wildlife
I cosponsored the Refuge From Cruel Trapping Act to ban the use of possession of cruel body gripping traps in the Natural Wildlife Refuge System.
Animal Cruelty
As a State Senator in Tennessee, I sponsored legislation to make aggravated animal cruelty a felony, as well as legislation that allow owners to receive damages in cases of intentional or negligent acts resulting in the death of a pet.
I have cosponsored legislation such as the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, which would extend federal jurisdiction to cases involving intentional crushing of animals. Additionally, I cosponsored the Pet and Women Safety Act to prohibit threats of acts of violence against a person's pet under the offenses of stalking and interstate violation of a protection order.
Animal Use in Research
We cannot as a government allow abuse towards animals in research to continue. Our humanity is diminished when we not only allow but actively sanction and financially support such abuse.
To end these abuses, I cosponsored the Animal Welfare in Agricultural Research Endeavors Act, which would close the loophole in the Animal Welfare Act that exempts U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) from adhering to federal animal welfare standards. I also cosponsored the Battlefield Excellence through Superior Training Practices Act, which would require the Department of Defense to conduct research on human-based simulation training methods and replace live tissue training by 2020. Live tissue training is inflicting wounds seen in combat situations on animals for the purposes of surgical training by medical personnel.

Soring, the intentional infliction of pain on horses' feet and legs to achieve the high stepping pain-based, "big lick" gait, has plagued both the Tennessee Walking Horse breed and the great state of Tennessee for more than half a century.
Dear Friend,

roro nelson
Dear Mr. President,
I've always been a fan of yours as a musician.
First time I saw you performed was in 1992 at a private school in Lalue.
I love your music, but most importantly I admire your vision and desire to uplift the people from this way too long misery.
Your dedication to sending the children to school will remain the reason why I approved of your campaign on the first place.
Although it hasn't been easy for you since you stepped into office, you've managed to accomplish so much.
Let me be as blunt as I can be: Roro Nelson will be the REASON of your DOWNFALL if you don't get rid of him. It is a matter of time before the haitian people run out of patience.
Roro Nelson has managed to disrepect way too many people in so many levels.
I am from Boston, and I know Roro personally, which is the reason why I am baffled with the idea of him putting his hands on people everytime he gets a chance.
Do you really want to put your presidency at risk for the sake of keeping this guy around?
ask yourself that question.
P.S. To whom much is giving, much is reguired.
Do the right thing Mr. president, disassociate yourself from this guy. It is for you, and the country's your own benefit.
From a concerned Haitian in the diaspora...

A tribal woman was allegedly gang raped by two youths in Kanksa near Durgapur. The horrific incident of gang rape near Durgapur occurred on Tuesday (February 13) evening, a day before Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visits Kanksa to inaugurate the second 'Mati Utsav'.
The tribal woman was raped by two tribal youths in front of her husband after the couple failed to pay Rs 5,000 as per the demands of the youths.
The tribal couple of neighbouring Ausgram police station area was returning from their relative's house in Piyarigunj village village under Kanksa police station area on their bicycle. They were attacked by two youths identified as Shiba Murmu (22) and Sukumar Murmu (24). The duo detained the couple and threatened them with knives.
The youths, according to the couple, demanded Rs 5,000 in cash which they did not have.
The couple told police the youths then dragged the husband to the opposite side of the road and tied him to a tree. Then they raped the 35-year-old housewife and tried to flee.
However the husband's cry alerted the residents of the surrounding villages. The chased the two youths and caught them. The two youths were then handed over to police.
CPM alleged that the police was reluctant in lodging the rape complaint. They resorted to blocking the NH2 for half an hour. The blockade was lifted after the police assured them of strict action and stricter vigil in the isolated forest area of Kanksha.
CPM Burdwan district secretariat member Bireswar Mandal said: "We protest the rising incidents of rape and atrocities on women in our state after Trinamool came to power. Tomorrow the chief minister is coming to Panagarh to inaugurate Mati Utsav. We want her to meet the woman and her family."
The Burdwan SP, Mr S M H Meerza was however prompt to decline the allegation of CPM and said: " We have arrested the two accused and charged them with gang rape. The medical test on the woman and the accused has also been done at the Durgapur Sub-divisional hospital."
This incident of gang rape near Durgapur came a day after National Commission for Women Mamta Sharma said: "Law and order have collapsed in Bengal." She had said this after meeting a tribal girl gang raped in Birbhum in the orders of a Kangaroo court, and two women gang raped by Trinamool supporters in Howrah.
