1 And in the twelfth month (this the month Adar) in the thirteenth day in it, when the word of the king drew near, and his edict to do in the day that the enemies of the Jews expected to have power over them, (and it was turned that these Jews will have power over those hating them:) 2 The Jews were gathered together in their cities in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to stretch forth the hand upon those seeking their evil: and a man stood not before them, for their fear fell upon all the peoples.
3 And all the chiefs of the provinces, and the satraps, and the prefects, and those doing the work that was for the king, were lifting up with the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai fell upon them: 4 For great was Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame went into all the provinces: for the man Mordecai went and was magnified
5 And the Jews will strike against all their enemies with the blow of the sword, and killing and destruction; and they will do according to their desire upon those hating them. 6 And in Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. 7 Parshandatha and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai. and Vajezatha, 10 The ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy, they slew; and upon the prey they stretched not out their hand.
11 In that day came the number of those slain in Shushan the fortress before the king. 12 And the king will say to Esther the queen, In Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman: in the rest of the king's provinces what did they? and what thy asking? and it shall be given to thee: and what more thy seeking? and it shall be done.
13 And Esther will say, If good to the king, it shall be given also to-morrow to the Jews that are in Shusan to do according to the edict of the day, and they shall hang Haman's ten sons upon the tree. 14 And the king will say to do this. And the edict will be given in Shushan; and they hung the ten sons of Haman. 15 For the Jews that were in Shushan will gather together also in the fourteenth day to the month Adar, and they will kill in Shushan three hundred men; and upon the prey they sent not the hand.
16 And the rest of the Jews which were in the king's provinces gathered together and stood for their soul, and rested from their enemies, and slew among their enemies five and seventy thousand; and upon the prey they sent not their hand. 17 In the thirteenth day to the month Adar, and resting in the fourteenth in it, and making it a day of drinking and gladness.
18 And the Jews that were in Shushan were assembled in the thirteenth in it, and in the fourteenth in it; and resting in the fifteenth in it, and making it a day of drinking and gladness. 19 For this the Jews of the villages and in cities of the open country making the fourteenth day to the month Adar, gladness and drinking, and a good day, and sending portions a man to his neighbor.
20 And Mordecai will write these words, and send letters to all the Jews that were in all the king Ahasuerus's provinces, near and far off, 21 To set up to them to be doing the fourteenth day to the month Adar, and the fifteenth day in it, in every year and year, 22 As the days which the Jews rested in them from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from grief to gladness, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of drinking and gladness, and sending portions a man to his neighbor, and gifts to the needy.
23 And the Jews admitting what they began to do, and what Mordecai wrote to them. 24 For Haman son of Hammedatha the Amite, oppressing all the Jews, purposed against the Jews to destroy them, and he cast Pur (this the lot) to discomfit them and to destroy them; 25 And in her coming before the king, he said by letter he will turn back his purpose of evil that he purposed against the Jews upon his head: and they hung him and his sons upon the tree. 26 For this they called to these days Purim, for the name of Pur. For this upon all the words of this epistle, and What they saw upon this, and what came to them, 27 The Jews set up and admitted upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all joining themselves to them, and they shall not pass by to be doing these two days according to their writing, and according to their time in every year and year; 28 And these days being remembered and done in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, city and city; and these days of the lots shall not pass by from the midst of the Jews, and their remembrance shall not be ended from their seed.
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, will write with all power to set up the epistle of Purim, this second. 30 And he will send the letter to all the Jews, to the seventy and twenty and a hundred provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth, 31 To set up these days of Purim in their times, as Mordecai the Jew set up to them, and Esther the queen, and as they set up for their souls and for their seed, the words of fastings and their cry: 32 And the saying of Esther set up these words of Purim; and it was written in the book.

- Size: Select Size
- Width: Select Width
97% of customers say this fits as expected
"Yes! I bought these to replace another pair of almost similar Rockport shoes that I wore all over Europe and many years of teaching. They are equally comfortable. I like these shoes almost as much: my former ones were entirely leather with expandable strips. These are half leather and half canvas with expandable strips. I worry that they may not do as well in wet conditions. Mine are cooler looking than these pictured because they have black soles. They make my big, wide feet look a little smaller. Great purchase."
A packed to-do list calls for our Trustride Side Zip slip-on shoe. Built with comfort top of mind, these women's shoes feature a number of sports-inspired details including our unique dual-density, dual-color, injection-molded EVA outsoles. Soft, performance-mesh linings and OrthoLite® footbed ensure a never-fail fit.

We start our weekly Coffee hour at Liberti at 9:30 on October 1. Our hope is that this hour before church will be spent getting to know and connect with each other. Real, authentic community opens up such opportunity to see one another and God's grace in a fuller light. We want to provide a time and space for people in our congregation to establish the beginnings of deep relationships through time spent together.
We're also excited to do this over a good cup of coffee, provided by Denim, whose company vision falls in lines similar to our own.
Matt Ramsey, the head roaster and founder of Denim Coffee Company, knows almost everything there is to know about a good brew. Matt began roasting coffee his senior year of college at Shippensburg University. He's dedicated years to learning about how the coffee process works, from what type of beans to get to the best equipment for brewing the perfect cup.
For Matt, every part of the coffee process is an important one. Every piece, from where the coffee is grown and how it grown, to how it is roasted, brewed, and served, is vital to the overall experience.
"We are passionate about quality coffee," says Matt. "Working with coffee is a pleasure. It is our mission to roast and brew with excellence to showcase the coffee's origin and efforts of the farmers."
Most of us evaluate our coffee by the end product. Matt Ramsey takes a different approach—he views the coffee industry as a holistic process that permeates cultural barriers, time zones and ways of life. Too often, the coffee industry has been one stained by injustice. Coffee farmers have been severely underpaid—it's not uncommon for the average coffee farmer to make less than $1 per day.
"I got into coffee largely because of a justice issue," said Matt in an interview with The Slate Online. "Every cup of coffee you drink is about 40 seeds. So that means somebody picked 20 cherries off a tree for you to enjoy one cup of coffee. Right? And there's something about that — having the power on our end as consumers, the right thing to do is to move that power. And we have to pay a little bit more for the coffee, maybe we do pay two more cents, ten more cents for a cup of coffee, but we can say we're going to take care of these folks. So part of the reason I'm in coffee is that I'm not going to change the industry, but I can put a dent in it."
Matt knows where his coffee beans come from. He works hard to make sure that he is buying coffee beans ethically, and not at the cost of someone else's livelihood. Matt knows that good coffee, brewed ethically, can do so much more than enliven our taste buds.
It can bring healing and justice where that is desperately needed.
At Liberti Church, our mission is to "live, speak, and serve as the very presence of Jesus Christ in the Harrisburg region." We care about emulating Christ in everything we do. Part of the reason we so look forward to partnering with Denim is because of the work they do to make the coffee industry a fairer place.
Sometimes all it takes is a hot beverage and a good conversation to open up the door to a new friendship. The best friendships, as we all know, are ones with an element of flavor, vulnerability, and healing.
As we pursue this kind of community with one another, we can also know that the coffee we drink is bringing a different kind of wholeness and healing to real people working at the other end of our brew.
Matt picked the name Denim because it demonstrates the full circle nature of the coffee industry. "The person in Guatemala picking coffee off the tree and the customer who is drinking that coffee–they can both be wearing denim. We're trying to show that this is all woven together."
We hope you'll come be a part of this tapestry at our very first coffee hour on October 1.

Today's prompt for VeganMofo is all about color. I chose a color that I normally don't like in any other context except when it comes to foods. Some of my favorite foods happen to be yellow. However, I don't like to wear yellow clothing or use yellow in my decorating. I have nothing against the color, of course…I just prefer other more cool colors.
This bowl, though.
The yellow is all over this bowl. I started with a base of turmeric sushi rice and then built it from there. What I love about rice bowls is their flexibility. I almost always have some sort of rice on hand in the pantry and it cooks so quickly. The Japanese sushi rice I used here takes about 15-20 minutes depending on how you cook it. I usually steam mine on the stove if I don't have a rice cooker handy. You can also use an Instant Pot if you have one (or other slow cooker). I find that making the rice on the stove is easiest.
Once your rice is cooked, the world is your rice bowl (oysters aren't vegan!). I chopped up some of my favorite yellow summer veggies and nestled them up close to one another to create a nourishing and simple bowl that I seasoned with salt, pepper, nutritional yeast and gomashio (sesame salt). As you may notice in the recipes to come, I have been avoiding added oils in my cooking for the most part. I only really consume oils if they are in a processed food (which I try to consume minimally) or if they are in the food I'm eating out somewhere. Trying to find satisfying vegan options at a restaurant is tough enough without adding oil-free in the mix. When I can, though, I eat a lower fat diet. Any fats I cook or bake with will be from a whole plant as much as possible.
This bowl is great because you can add a dressing or sauce if you would like. I think a nice turmeric tahini sauce would be lovely. If you don't want to be yellow through and through though, try some hot sauce or salsa on top and spice it up. What is your favorite food color?
Turmeric Rice Bowl
- 1 cup uncooked rice (I used white sushi)
- 1 1/3 cup water
- splash rice wine vinegar, optional
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- pinch salt, optional
Vegetable Accompaniments
- 4 yellow baby tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 yellow squash, sliced into ribbons with vegetable peeler/knife
- 1/2 yellow sweet bell pepper, julienned
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast, optional
- salt and pepper, to taste, optional
- gomashio, to taste, optional
- Pour rice and water into a medium saucepan and put on the stove. Turn the heat up to medium-high.
- Add the turmeric powder, vinegar and salt to the pan if using.
- Put a lid on the pan and continue to heat through until the water begins to boil. Once it does, turn the heat all the way down to a simmer and leave like this for about 15 minutes. You may have to crack the lid a bit to allow the steam to escape.
- Once the rice is done and all the liquid is evaporated, turn the heat off and leave the lid on until you are done prepping your veggies.
- Assemble the vegetables in a shallow bowl and season to taste. Once they are done, add about 1/3 cup of rice to the bowl and season that as well.
- Marvel at the yellow glory before digging in.

The Holiday | Original Series | Episode 1 | 3 Guys And A Girl | The Zoom Studios
We never had any screening process
to select friends in our childhood. Whoever's mom made the tastiest food, became our best friends. But as we grow we
understand our best friends inside out. And then reality strikes you… Damn! I'm stuck with
these people for life. And then one day, all your pent up
frustration will burst out. And you'll have a massive fight that that
can only happen between best friends. Patrick, are you going
to record everything? You are so going to
make this a reality show. Hell yeah! Married people should
know two more morons are joining the club. Shut up. Listen I'll call
you Pratik on camera, alright! Trust me.
You will watch this video some day, and send me those
boring emojis to thank me, like our parents do. Oh God! I'm regretting this already.
Kabir say something to him. Not me man. God, I need to pee. Come on. Say something,
we are making memories. Memories. Okay, ahh… I'm Mehak Singh,
soon to be Mehak Singh Mathur. And all 4 of us are going
to Mauritius for my bachelorette. I don't know what else to say. Say anything. It's not a viva exam.
There are no marks for this. Come on! Okay, I'm a make up
artist and hair blogger… I love fried potatoes. I hate caramal popcorn.
I'm very excited to get married to Sid, and if anyone watches this video
about what went down on my bachelorette, I'm saying sorry already. Wicked. I like it. I like it. Hold hold hold hold, we can't forget, that the bride has to get super drunk
on her bachelorette. It's mandatory. Have you gone mad? I've seen a lot of bachelorette
movies and it never ends well. Mehak, you need to listen to this. -Okay.
-Alright. The bride leaves her father's house… Leaves life as she knew it… And spends her last few moments
of freedom with her best friends… She drinks,
she laughs, she sings and makes merry… And then she pukes on her friends too! Not on the best man. You are not the best man. Yeah I'm the best man. No you are not. Okay Kabir then.
Introduce yourself to the best man. Pass. -I also did this, dude!
-Come on, it's for Mehak. What nonsense? Okay fine. Hi, I'm Kabir Chaudhary. I'm Mehak's oldest friend and I'm also an analyst at JWD that makes me the wisest in the group. You are not the wisest,
you are the oldest. Ooh snap! Fine. Come on, say something. Why don't you say something.
Come on, please. Oh wait. Oh you asked the wrong person. -Why would you do that?
-I insist Guys, I'm Patrick and I
know Mehak since we were little Unfortunately,
she is getting married at just 27. Who gets married at such a young age? Wait. Mehak gets married. Okay, what age should people
get married at, according to you? Never! No one is going to marry you, anyway. Listen I'm saying this on camera,
record this. Document this. No strippers. Okay Patrick? No. But strippers are
specified in the rule book. Not at all! I promised Siddharth I won't get strippers and
he also said he won't do it. Strippers. Is he mad or what? We need to have a better
plan than Siddharth. No, this is not a competition! Mehak. Patrick. Dear. Yes Patrick. Forgetting the first
time we made this plan? Patrick dear remind me. Ladies and gentlemen can
I have your attention please. Oh no not him. I want to raise a toast. So, today is the new beginning of a story of my extremely annoying
little brother Siddharth and this lovely girl called Mehak. Lovely girl. So, as you all know that Siddharth was
so irritating as a kid that we were sure he would
become a lawyer when he grows up. But Mehak, thank you.
Thank you for coming in. Thank you for being part of
the family and cheers to you guys. I wish you a great life. Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Saurabh I'm going to kill you for this. Yeah yeah I know. Hey Sid, what about the bachelors? I don't know. These guys are planning
something but haven't clued me in. Oh you know I'm, I'm really excited.

-Correct. Don't psychoanalyse me you pyschos. Go bring me a beer. Don't change the topic. Tell her. Don't change the topic. -Yeah.
-Yeah. A bachelorette and all… I mean… Just because Sid is having one
doesn't mean I need to! And I don't even have any close
female friends. Who will I go with? But you have the boy gang! Yeah you have Patrick,
you have me, you have Armaan! We can't be your bridesmaids
but we can be your squad. Ohh! We can be your bride squad! Really? Yes, why not. No man! Come on! You know Sid is going to have a ball! That's true. And I know you're also thinking about it.

Why would I make any promises to you? Everybody in the office knows
I'm going to be the vice president. This is so embarrassing. Who knows? What are you talking about boss? How many times have you gotten drunk and told me that I'm
going to be the new VP? You groomed me… When did I tell you

I like that. It's really nice. I almost… Got it! I thought you were serious. I'm serious. What part of me is not serious? I'm as serious as cancer dude.
I'm serious. He is vice president and you
are going to be working with him. How much more serious could I get? I'm not working with anyone. I have worked under you… And you have trained
me to be the vice president. And I'm not working for anyone else. I'm only working for you. Okay let me cut you right there. Whether you accept it or not, this is the reality of the situation. Don't mess with my brains. You have to go to Pune and work
with Nikhil, if you want to work on IPL. Is that very clear? You get this? You know what boss? Screw you then. Oh really? Yeah screw you. Get the hell out of here. Get the hell out of here. I'll go, alright? I'll go! Just give me my 5 years back.
Give me my youth back! Fine, figure it out.
Stop messing with my head! Kabir? -Kabir?
-Yeah… Did you get that promotion or not? Of course I got the promotion.
Why wouldn't I get it? It's just… I had…
I have different plans. So… You know,
nothing is permanent, right? -That's good.
-Yeah! So, Patrick, how are the parents? Same old. They want me to get serious in life. I told them clearly.
I'll get serious when I turn 25. Till then, let me enjoy my life. That's all. You are 27. Pratik, where are you going? I'm going to a party. Are you ever going to do any work? Are you going to join your
father's business and help him? Or are you only going to party? Chill mom, why are you so stressed? If you don't want to
work then at least get married. Mom, if I get married,
who will take care of all the other girls? At least think about your future! Mom, that's an astrologer's job. And anyway, my future is bright. I don't think so. Why mom? What happened to dad?
Is he fine? What happened to him? He'd perfectly healthy! Oh thank God. Look mom, you just look after dad. I'm still young, but dad is getting old, right? Obviously, he has worked
so hard and earned so much money… Now if he stays healthy, stays fit, only then can
I enjoy the money he has earned. Right, mom?
Do me a favour… Tell dad to stay away from sweets. Tell him to go for a walk everyday. In fact, I will sign him up
for a yoga class today itself. Okay? Son, I see a very dark future for you. Dark future… Hey, where did you get lost? Come on let's go! It must be time, huh? -Prats, I was thinking…
-Yes Why Mauritius? What's so special about this place? Exactly. I was thinking
about the same thing. I mean why did you pick Mauritius
over every other cool place? Right! Yeah, it's not like this is the
perfect destination for a bachelorette. I was doing an online search and checking
So it's… Exactly, because people usually
come here for their honeymoon. Yeah! Yes… I just love Mauriti.. What are you doing? What are you doing? Guys, nothing…
You know… I love the vibe over here.
You know… Look at the nature
and the temples over here. Temples? Traitor! Have you ever visited a temple in India? Temple! This guy is always on his phone man! Who are you talking to? No… It's nothing. It's just the local banks. Trying to sell me credit cards…
Banks and all that… Of course, that makes sense, right Kabir? Banks sell credit cards

Just one restaurant this week and two keyboard-command-inspired projects with work from Sydney, London, and Singapore.
Hidden Characters by Re
Hidden Characters is a public relations firm based in Sydney, Australia, that is part of M&C Saatchi Group. Previously named Bang PR (and with this identity), the company circled back to local firm RE who did the previous identity and helped them visualize their new name. For any of you that have pressed Command-Option-I in Adobe InDesign or Illustrator (or gone to the Type menu and selected "Show Hidden Characters") the concept will be quickly evident and, maybe like me, will bring a smile to your face. I don't know, however, if other than designers anyone knows what the invisible characters are for line break, hard break, or space. Still, it's a lovely looking identity with a strong serif at the helm and some clever production techniques that help bring the concept to life, like clear varnishes and foils or an orange transparent sleeve that hides the orange characters. For typing purists, the space at the end of the logo might be sacrilege ; ) See full project (Via BP&O)
Little Italy by Here Design
Little Italy is an all-day Italian dining food destination in Amman, Jordan, that houses a cafe, gelateria, restaurant, and pizzeria. Designed by London-based Here Design, the identity references Italian gelaterias and salumerias with a lovely script logo that is visually ready to be made into a neon sign. The signature "Little" is accompanied by equally lovely sans serif typography and a range of ornate seals for each of the location's offerings. Although minimal, the applications and signage are decadently ornate with a great concoction of elements layered on top and around each other, all in a basic palette of blue, red, and white. See full project (Via BP&O)
5th Singapore International Photography Festival by H55
Started in 2008, the Singapore International Photography Festival is a non-profit biennial festival for Southeast Asian artists to showcase their photography alongside international peers. For its 5th edition, local firm H55 got busy with the Command-Shift-3 by creating an identity where all the output is made from screenshots. Other than the title font, everything has a default look that's exaggerated by being contained in OS X's user interface. I love the little detail in the program where the folder is titled what the piece is. There is a promo video that gives the concept motion, which is also worth a watch. I'm not sure this is the most relevant concept for a photography festival but I definitely appreciate the execution and clever integration of the OS X UI and applications. Too legit to Command-Q.

Concerns about safety standards for timber-framed buildings have been renewed following a blaze that destroyed a £20m science block by Fairhursts Design Group that was under construction at Nottingham University.
The fire at the university's Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry required 60 firefighters to tackle and is the latest in a series of high-profile catastrophes involving timber-framed structures.
Former chief fire officer Ronnie King, who is honorary secretary of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Fire Safety and Rescue, said the blaze was the embodiment of many of the key safety issues related to timber-frame construction.
King said timber-framed buildings were at their most vulnerable while under construction because structures were exposed, air could circulate, while designed-in safety features such as fire-resistant doors were unlikely to be place.
He said a 2010 call from the Chief Fire Officers Association for a review of building regulations to address such issues, and wider concerns about fire-spread from construction sites had not been acted upon.
'There is an acceptance that far too many timber-framed buildings have caught fire during the construction phase,' he said.
'It isn't just a lack of sprinklers – many problems stem from the way that sites are managed and secured, how 'hot work' is managed, and how they make sure that nothing is left about that can be lit by arsonists.'
King, who represented families of the victims of at the inquest into 2009's Lakanal House tower-block fire, said there was a distinct lack of urgency on the part of ministers to deal with problems associated with timber-framed structures.
He said ministers had largely ignored a 2010 call from the Chief Fire Officers Assocation
"They've got this 'Red Tape Challenge' and they don't want to add any more burdens to business," he said.
Mike Leonard, chief executive of the Modern Masonry Alliance, said the construction industry was well aware of the problems related to timber-framed buildings and that there was a growing acceptance that other materials could be just as energy-efficient.
"The industry and fire experts understand, but at government level there's little appetite to regulate, because their policy is to reduce regulation," he said.
Leonard said he believed that obtaining full insurance cover for under-construction timber-framed projects was increasingly costly because of the additional risks.
Lawrence Young, chairman of the Structural Timber Association (STA), said official statistics showed that only a small proportion of building fires involved structural timber.
"The STA is at the very heart of work to underpin the safety of buildings during construction and is proactively working and engaging with a range of stakeholders to further improve the performance of structural timber based buildings," he said.
"Activities include technical research, guidance preparation, information dissemination and training course preparation and delivery."
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokeswoman said building regulations were only concerned with finished structures, not construction sites.
However she said the Health and Safety Executive had produced fire-safety guidance that specifically referred to timber-framed structures in 2010.
Nottingham University said it remained committed to providing the new facilities that were to have been included in the Carbon Neutral Laboratory for Sustainable Chemistry - funded with £12m from pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline.
But a spokeswoman added that decisions on the form those facilities would take were expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Washington state must not shortchange its citizens' access to a college education. Guest columnist Aaron Katz argues its better to close tax "loopholes" than to inflict other cuts on the state's higher-education institutions.
WHEN Michael Young arrives at the University of Washington, he will join the presidents of other state colleges and universities who are facing staggering cuts in state funding of higher education. Legislators are now considering budget proposals for 2011-2013 that would further damage these critical public institutions.
The fundamental mission of Washington's public institutions is to educate the next generation of citizens and lay the groundwork for our state's future prosperity. Neither our democracy nor our economy will thrive without investing in this mission.
By 2018, two-thirds of all jobs in Washington will require some postsecondary education, so access to higher education is a prerequisite for financial security. That access is being threatened by the state's disinvestment.
In short, our higher-education system is in the midst of a crisis, one that is detailed in the Washington State Budget & Policy Center's new report, "Undermining Prosperity: Higher Education Cuts Weaken Access, Affordability, Quality." It finds that current budget proposals would make a dire situation significantly worse.
The report tells a grim tale. Where once a university degree was affordable to nearly anyone because state taxpayers provided adequate support, students and their families must now shoulder more than half of the cost. Proposals on the table in Olympia will cut $500 million from Washington's higher-education system, on top of more than $770 million in cuts over the last two years. That will drive student tuition to 65 percent or more of college costs, the exact reverse of the ratio between tuition and state support that existed only 15 years ago. At UW, state funding is the same today as it was in 1990, even though it serves 10,000 additional students.
The result of this dramatic shift is predictable. The recent story of a local straight-A high-school senior being rejected by UW is just the beginning. More and more, universities and colleges will choose "higher revenue" students — out-of-staters — over lower revenue, in-state ones.
Liberal arts programs — which helped to build an educated citizenry that understands the social, philosophical, and political basis for American democracy and learns from the lessons of history — will be shunned in favor of programs that attract high-paying "clients." Students from lower-income families will find the costs of a college degree at their own, local universities to be beyond their reach, further dividing our society into haves and have-nots.
Legislators just this week gave the state's public universities greater authority to set undergraduate tuition.
Some argue that we'll just increase financial aid to make sure anyone can afford to go to college in Washington. That's a pipe dream. The Budget & Policy Center's report highlights that 22,000 students who qualified for a State Need Grant over the last two years did not receive assistance because of a lack of funding. And the recently passed 2011 state supplemental budget cut financial aid by $25 million over the 2009 level, adding to reductions in other aid programs, like work study, scholarships and loans.
We still have time to reverse course. Our representatives in Olympia must take a more balanced approach to the budget, one that includes new revenue as well as cuts. Otherwise, no higher-education leader, however talented, will be able to reverse the rapid decline of the UW or its sister institutions. Giving voters the chance to eliminate outdated, ineffective and costly tax loopholes is a promising pathway to a budget that better preserves critically important public investments like higher education.
The choices we face today are stark and the stakes are high. If we don't invest adequately in higher education now, we mortgage the future of our state.
Aaron Katz is a lecturer at the University of Washington Departments of Health Services and Global Health and board chairman of the Washington State Budget & Policy Center. These views do not necessarily represent those of the UW.

The point's moot really. It's about the demarc point. Verizon owns the fiber and the ONT up to the designated demarc which is defined as the "customer side" of the ONT (i.e. the ethernet, coax, and phone ports).
It should work with a ubiquiti's UF-LOCO or UF-NANO. https://www.ui.com/ufiber/ufiber-loco/
The Ubiquti ONTs will not work either. The OLTs which is what the ONT connects to back at the central office are vendor specific. Verizon uses both BPON and GPON ONTs. Tellabs and Arris(now Commscope) and Alcatel(now Nokia). Each vendor use different OLTs. Fox example you can't mix Arris and Nokia GPON ONTs on the same PON. Verizon would have to install Ubiquiti OLTs at their central office for that ONT to work.

OKEECHOBEE – The HCA Healthcare Awards of Distinction, which include the Frist Humanitarian Awards and the Innovators Awards, are the highest honors that HCA bestows on its employees, physicians and volunteers. These awards honor exceptional individuals whose work and lives reflect the patient-centered, entrepreneurial and humanitarian values upon which HCA was founded 50 years ago. The exemplary service and selflessness of each recipient challenges and inspires us all to live our company's mission of caring for and improving human life.
The Frist Humanitarian Award was created in 1971 to honor outstanding individuals for their humanitarian and volunteer activities. Named in honor of Dr. Thomas F. Frist Sr. (1910 – 1998), a founder of HCA, this award recognizes individuals who serve the community and those in need and whose daily dedication and care giving epitomize the highest standards of quality and personal commitment.
Frist Award nominees should be individuals who strive to represent qualities such as a commitment to community service beyond the daily operation of the facility that parallels their involvement to quality patient care. Nominees should also demonstrate remarkable concern for the welfare and happiness of patients and perform extraordinary acts of kindness, not necessarily in the area of direct patient care. Finally, nominees should be exhibit characteristics which make this world a better place and inspires others to get involved by caring for the community and others in need.
The Frist nomination forms are reviewed by the previous Raulerson Hospital Frist Humanitarian Award winners, who then select the winner of this very prestigious award.
Raulerson Hospital's Frist Humanitarian Award winner for the Volunteer category is Jacque Hayes! Jacque has volunteered at Raulerson Hospital for two and a half years, acquiring more than 1,000 hours. Jacque also serves in the role of chaplain, among the auxiliary. She was an educator for 32 years for deaf and blind students. With her knowledge of braille, she helped implement signage improvements at Raulerson Hospital. She, alongside her husband, Ron, work tirelessly to organize, recruit, produce and sometimes even star in seasonal performances for the Community Theatre, and they provide mini-grants to the Okeechobee Educational Foundation, with portions of the proceeds. Jacque's kind heart can be witnessed in every interaction with patients and staff.
Raulerson Hospital's Frist Humanitarian Award winner for the Employee category is Maxine Collins! Maxine works in Central Sterile, a department within Surgical Services. Maxine has been part of the Raulerson Hospital family for more than 30 years. Professionally, Max has become a great mentor and resource for the OR staff and physicians. She is very supportive of the youth in our community and is even active in Okeechobee County's 4-H program. Maxine has a big heart for multiple organizations, including March of Dimes, St Jude, Real Life Children's Ranch, Martha's House, and the HCA Hope Fund. When members of our community reach out during hard times, due to fires, storms or other tragedies, Max always helps organize and provide needed items. She has a heart bigger than most. The staff at Raulerson Hospital do not know where she finds the time to do all that she does, but she is truly inspiring. Max likes to be behind the scenes but is always there to help.
Earlier this year, ER Nurse Manager Geralyn Windle participated in Raulerson Hospital's Innovators Award program by submitting an idea for the Quality & Patient Safety category. Gerry proposed an automatic suicide risk indicator/symbol on ER Patient Trackers. This idea of a default indicator complements the Joint Commission's National Patient Safety goal of improving patients' suicide assessment, and is especially relevant in the ER. Raulerson Hospital selected Geri's Innovator idea as the facility's winner. Gerry's idea was also selected as HCA East Florida Division's Quality & Patient Safety Innovators Award winner!
Raulerson Hospital is a facility of HCA East Florida. HCA East Florida is the largest healthcare system in Eastern Florida and an affiliate of HCA Healthcare (HCA). HCA East Florida has 15 hospitals, multiple ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care centers, physician practices, imaging centers and free standing emergency care facilities, as well as a supply chain center and an integrated regional lab. Together, HCA East Florida employs more than 18,000 employees and has more than 6,600 physicians on staff. For more information, visit HCAEastFlorida.com.

The VHI is co-organising the 80th Anniversary Conference of the International Journal of Philosophy and Theology:
Sisters in Arms: Reinventing the bond between philosophy and theology after the 'empirical turn'
Dates: Wed 9, Thu 10 and Fri 11 January 2019
Venue: Møller Centre, Cambridge, UK
Organizing committee: W. Van Herck, P. Schaafsma, L. Schumacher, T. Scrutton, C. Richter, M. Sarot, G. Vanheeswijck, J. Geldhof, G.-J. van der Heiden, Ph. McCosker
Organizing institutions: International journal of philosophy and theology in collaboration with Centre Pieter Gillis (University of Antwerp), Von Hügel Institute (University of Cambridge), and Bonn Institute for Hermeneutics (Universität Bonn)
Conference theme: Although fundamental research is still in high esteem, it is clear that all academic disciplines meet the challenge of the so-called empirical turn. This implies that research should deal with real-life problems and be relevant to society at large. An empirical basis or component of the research should guarantee this relevance. On another level, it seems that philosophy and theology have received more competition from other humanities than ever before. While some decades ago civil society looked at philosophers and theologians for moral guidance, nowadays disciplines like psychology, sociology and evolutionary studies have taken over this role to a certain extend. These disciplines collect empirical data to arrive at descriptions of the present situation. These are subsequently often used to answer topical questions, whether this was originally intended by the research or not. In this last step the descriptive research often takes on a normative weight.
Given this climate, what is the specific strength of fundamental or speculative reflection like it has been developed traditionally in philosophy and theology? Is it in danger of becoming obsolete? Is it still meaningful to aim for a bond between philosophy and theology as strengthening both disciplines? Or should one rather aspire an empirical turn, as slogans like 'lived theology' or 'lived philosophy' seem to indicate?
These questions are all the more urgent insofar as religion is concerned. The comeback of religion and metaphysics in philosophy of the last decades has led to reflection with a highly speculative appearance. In the meantime, theology is under severe attack from religious studies approach for its abstract or dogmatic character. The call for a theological turn to 'lived religion' is widespread. Are the times of an obvious bond between philosophy and theology past? What do the disciplines have to offer each other, as critical sparring partners in times in which their academic position is all but self-evident, as is religion itself? Is the divide between analytical and continental varieties of both disciplines symptomatic for the trend mentioned before or is there a chance for mutual reinforcement? Can theology and philosophy perhaps reinvent their coalition as one of 'sisters in arms', that is, of aiming for unfashionable approaches of academically neglected questions?

Takakazu Kinashi (木梨 鷹一, Kinashi Takakazu, March 7, 1902 – July 26, 1944), was a submarine commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. He is noted for the sinking of the American aircraft carrier, USS Wasp and destroyer USS O'Brien and severely damaging the battleship USS North Carolina with a single spread of six torpedoes as captain of the I-19 in 1942. His name is sometimes transliterated as "Takaichi Kinatsu" [2]
Kinashi was a native of Usuki in Ōita Prefecture. His early career was not promising, as he graduated in very last place as 255th of 255 cadets in the 51st class of the Imperial Japanese Navy Academy in 1920. He served his midshipman duty on the cruisers Iwate, Tatsuta, and on Izumo on its long distance navigational training voyage to Hilo, Acapulco, Balboa, San Francisco, Vancouver, Honolulu, Jaluit Atoll, Truk, Saipan and the Ogasawara Islands from 1924-1925. He was promoted to ensign during the voyage, and on his return to Japan, he completed naval artillery and torpedo warfare training. He was assigned to the destroyer Harukaze and promoted to sub-lieutenant in December 1926.[3]
In 1927, Kinashi transferred to the Japanese submarine forces. He was promoted to lieutenant in November 1929 and served in various capacities on I-61, I-54, I-66, and the river gunboat Ataka, and destroyer Fubuki through the mid-1930s. He was promoted to lieutenant commander in December 1937, and assigned to the minelayer Okinoshima.
Kinashi was given his first command, Ro-59, from 1938-1940. In 1940, he was reassigned to the Submarine Warfare School, but returned to sea six months later as captain of I-3 from July–November, and of Ro-34 from November 1940 to July 1941.
At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Kinashi was captain of I-62. He was captain of I-162 for one month (during the Battle of Midway) before being reassigned to I-19.
On September 15, 1942, while patrolling south of the Solomon Islands during the Guadalcanal campaign, I-19 sighted and attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Wasp, which was part of a task force transporting the 7th Marine Regiment and stores to Guadalcanal. Kinashi penetrated the destroyer screen, and after closing to within 500 meters of the aircraft carrier, launched his full salvo of six torpedoes. Three torpedoes struck Wasp, starting uncontrollable fires which soon forced the abandonment of the ship. The remaining three torpedoes continued beyond the horizon for another twelve miles into a separate task force led by the USS Hornet, striking the battleship USS North Carolina and destroyer O'Brien[4] O'Brien sank several weeks later[5] and North Carolina was so severely damaged that it was out of commission for several months for repairs.[6] Kinashi was promoted to commander less than two months later, and honored with a personal interview with Emperor Hirohito.
On May 2, 1943, while near Suva, Fiji, I-19 under the command of Kinashi torpedoed the liberty ship William Williams. However, for unknown reasons, Kinashi chose not to finish off the heavily damaged ship, which was later towed to New Zealand and repaired, becoming the USS Venus.[7]
From October 1943, Kinashi was captain of I-29.[8] On December 17, 1943, I-29 was dispatched on a secret Yanagi mission under the Axis Powers' Tripartite Pact to provide for an exchange of personnel, strategic materials and manufactured goods between Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. At Singapore she was loaded with 80 tons of raw rubber, 80 tons of tungsten, 50 tons of tin, two tons of zinc, and three tons of quinine, opium and coffee. In spite of Allied Ultra decrypts of her mission, I-29 managed to reach Lorient, France on March 11, 1944. While his crew rested in France, Kinashi travelled on to Berlin where he was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class personally by Adolf Hitler for his role in sinking Wasp.[8][9]
I-29 left Lorient April 16, 1944 with a cargo of 18 passengers, torpedo boat engines, Enigma coding machines, radar components, a Walter HWK 509A rocket engine, and Messerschmitt Me 163 and Messerschmitt Me 262 blueprints for the development of the rocket plane Mitsubishi J8M, returning at Singapore on July 14, 1944.
On the way back to Kure, Japan, I-29 was attacked at Balintang Channel, Luzon Strait near the Philippines by Commander W. D. Wilkins' "Wildcats" submarine taskforce consisting of USS Tilefish, USS Rock and USS Sawfish, using Ultra signal intelligence.[10] During the evening of July 26, 1944, I-29 was hit by three torpedoes fired by Sawfish. I-29 sank immediately at 20°06′N 121°33′E / 20.10°N 121.55°E / 20.10; 121.55.[5]
Kinashi was posthumously promoted two levels in rank to that of rear admiral.

Why is our lodging always 600 feet above the train station! It shouldn't bother us, we're stronger cyclists since we landed in Italy. We wanted to pick up the tour from Milan, but of course, pouring rain again forced us onto the train. Even the short 8 kilometers up the hill made us soggy and tired.
We've stayed now for three nights in Como, and I want you to tell you about our little holiday. Since the moon is late in the waning crescent phase, it doesn't come out at night. Jupiter and Saturn are still a bit too late in the evening for weeknights, so the Moon Men entered a bit of hibernation, and enjoyed some long, pleasant bike rides around the lake. From above, Lake Como looks like a fractal (most things in nature do), and you can definitely feel it from the ground with the winding roads and turns. Some of the most beautiful riding I've made in my whole life. I want to return and circumnavigate the whole lake! In a day of riding, we didn't even come close.
Como names itself Citta` di Alessandro Volta. Volta wasn't an astronomer but his contributions to science are worth a visit. Volta - the unit of the Volt! In his time, scientists had achieved a very basic understanding of electricity. In the middle of the 18th Century, Leyden jars came on the scene. These glass jars store electric charge the same way you do if you rub your socks on a carpet. You would spin the jar around and around against brushes, and this builds up static electricity on the jar. Fun fact - all of the static electricity is stored on the surface of the jar, not inside. But the empty space inside these jars gives you the impression that scientists really thought the jars contained some sort of invisible energy inside.
The problem with storing electricity this way is the same problem with rubbing your feet on the carpet: it's a shock! All the electric charge inside the Leyden jar is released as soon as you touch it or complete a circuit. That's the importance of Volta's chemical batteries, and that's why we visited his burial site.
Volta's temple is a mini-pantheon, with a large-domed interior. Inside are the glass vials where he created the first Zinc acid batteries are kept. If you connect a wire to one of these zinc stacks, you get, instead of a shock, a slow, steady current. Volta even presented his invention to Napoleon!
On our last night to ourselves, we observed Jupiter, making more observations of its moons. Did you know that when you look at something low in the sky, you're looking at it through 10 times more air than if it was directly overhead?

10-year sovereign local bond yields in Italy fell to a low of 2.70% in the first half of January, matching our model fair value estimates, after fluctuating in the 2.7-3.7% range in the second half of 2018. The deal with the European Commission (a reduction of the planned 2019 budget deficit from 2.4% to 2%) in December 2018 reduced the perceived political risk, readjusting bond yields towards the current fair value.
Going forward, our model sees 10Y yields fair value to average 3.1% in 2019, before increasing to a 3.3% average in 2020. This increase in fair value is driven mainly by our assumptions of a GDP slowdown (we currently expect 0.7% in 2019E and 0.8% in 2020E), together with the end of the ECB QE in December 2018. Should the country fall into recession and no QE happens, our estimates would move up to 3.4% in 2019E and 3.6% in 2020E.
The total funding needs of the Republic are estimated by the Treasury at EUR 251bn this year, slightly above the EUR 234bn in 2018. Overall, we do not see this amount as particularly alarming, as it is well within the historical range and it will continue to benefit from the ECB's influence via the reinvestment of the QE portfolio. Bouts of risk aversion are likely to be repeated, especially given that the next budget season is likely to be as challenging as the one that has just passed. That said, the government is well placed to control the budget execution, even if the economy falls into recession and the poor Eurozone growth outlook keeps the ECB on Italy's side for many more years.

47 Nonprofit Leaders Denounce the Southern Poverty Law Center's 'Hate List' in Open Letter to the Media
On Wednesday, 47 leaders of conservative nonprofits sent an open letter to the media warning against using the notorious "hate map" put out by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The leaders denounced any news organization that would cite the SPLC's list of "extremists" and "hate groups" as if it carried moral authority. "The SPLC is an attack dog of the political left" and should be treated as such, the leaders wrote.
"To associate public interest law firms and think tanks with neo-Nazis and the KKK is unconscionable, and represents the height of irresponsible journalism," the leaders declared. "All reputable news organizations should immediately stop using the SPLC's descriptions of individuals and organizations based on its obvious political prejudices."
The letter addressed "Members of the Media" and strongly warned against the SPLC. The leaders characterized the organization as "a discredited, left-wing, political activist organization that seeks to silence its political opponents with a 'hate group' label of its own invention and application that is not only false and defamatory, but that also endangers the lives of those targeted with it."
Leaders from across the nonprofit spectrum signed the letter, including: L. Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center; Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC); Frank Gaffney, president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy; Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel; Frank Wright, president and CEO of D. James Kennedy Ministries; Brigitte Gabriel, founder and chairman of ACT for America; J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation; Jennifer Morse, founder and president of the Ruth Institute; and Edwin Meese III, a distinguished fellow emeritus from the Heritage Foundation.
The leaders pinned the letter to the fifth anniversary of a terrorist attack inspired by the SPLC's hate list. "On August 15, 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins II entered the Family Research Council offices in Washington, D.C. and shot and badly wounded its building manager, Leo Johnson, who stopped his intended killing spree," the letter explained. "According to his own statements to the FBI, Corkins intended to kill everyone in the building, and then go on to terrorize additional organizations."
As the letter noted, Corkins pled guilty to committing an act of terrorism and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. During an FBI interrogation, he said he targeted the FRC because of the SPLC "hate map."
Another Scalp? Donation Processing Company Drops "Hate Group" Christian Nonprofit Attacked by the Southern Poverty Law Center
"We believe the media outlets that have cited the SPLC in recent days have not intended to target mainstream political groups for violent attack, but by recklessly linking the Charlottesville melee to the mainstream groups named on the SPLC website — those that advocate in the courts, the halls of Congress, and the press for protection of conventional, Judeo-Christian values — we are left to wonder if another Floyd Lee Corkins will soon be incited to violence by this incendiary information," the leaders wrote.
The letter did not mention the more tenuous — but still concerning — connection between the SPLC and Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson, the man who shot Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) this summer. Hodgkinson "liked" the SPLC on Facebook, and the SPLC had repeatedly attacked Scalise -- even after he apologized and distanced himself from the remarks that earned him a spot on the SPLC "extremist" list.
After mentioning Corkins, the letter went on to describe the history of the SPLC. Although the group "evolved from laudable origins battling the Klan in the 1970's, the SPLC has realized the profitability of defamation, churning out fundraising letters, and publishing 'hit pieces' on conservatives to promote its agenda and pad its substantial endowment (of $319 million)."
"Anyone who opposes them, including many Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and traditional conservatives is slandered and slapped with the 'extremist' label or even worse, their 'hate group' designation," the leaders wrote. "At one point, the SPLC even added Dr. Ben Carson to its 'extremist' list because of his biblical views (and only took him off the list after public outcry)."
Other recent examples also back up the argument that the SPLC is carless in its defamation. Just last week, the group removed the innocent historic town of Amana Colonies from its "hate map." While the SPLC eventually removed Amana Colonies, it first defended the "hate" label because a white supremacist website claimed to have had a book club in one of the town's restaurants.
In a series of three videos, the anti-terror group Quilliam International revealed the SPLC's ever-changing reasons for listing Muslim Maajid Nawaz as an "anti-Muslim extremist." One of the reasons the SPLC gave for targeting Nawaz? His visit to a strip club for his bachelor party.
Such errors are no laughing matter. Not only has CNN recently broadcast the SPLC's "hate map" on its website and Twitter account (which still includes FRC, by the way), but two other major media outlets, ABC and NBC, parroted the SPLC's "hate group" label against ADF last month.
Furthermore, some companies are already blacklisting any group on the SPLC "hate group" list. Vanco Payments just withdrew its service from the Ruth Institute, taking away that organization's ability to process donations online.
More concerning are the contributions from big influential companies like J.P. Morgan ($500,000 to the SPLC) and Apple ($1 million, with other benefits, to the organization). Companies like Lyft and MGM Resorts have also partnered with the group, and many companies match employee contributions. Pfizer, Bank of America, and Newman's Own have each contributed over $8,900 to the SPLC in recent years.
(The SPLC does not need this money, by the way. The Washington Free Beacon recently reported that the group sent multiple transactions to foreign entities, including two cash payments of $2.2 million into funds in the Cayman Islands. As the letter noted, the SPLC takes in $50 million in contributions each year, and had $328 million in net assets as of 2015.)
In June, the charity navigation website GuideStar adopted the SPLC "hate group" list, marking each profile of the targeted organizations as a "hate group." This action inspired the first of three lawsuits against the SPLC, launched by the Christian nonprofit Liberty Counsel. Maajid Nawaz followed up with his own lawsuit soon after, and D. James Kennedy Ministries has been the most recent group to sue the SPLC for defamation.
In the case of D. James Kennedy Ministries, the group was denied access to Amazon Smile because it was on the SPLC's "hate group" list.
The letter, which includes signatories from both Liberty Counsel and D. James Kennedy Ministries, insisted that the SPLC has been "discredited," and it cited experts to back up that claim. Laird Wilcox, one of America's genuine experts on political extremism, said the SPLC's work was "completely unreliable." The 47 nonprofit leaders also cited Ken Silverstein at Harper's, who wrote that "the SPLC shuts down debate, stifles free speech, and most of all, raises a pile of money, very little of which is used in behalf of poor people."
In 2013, Secretary of the Army John McHugh dissociated his service from use of SPLC materials on two occasions. In March 2014, the FBI removed the SPLC from its list of "trusted resources" on its Hate Crimes page.
The letter concluded with a compelling hypothetical. "We wonder how the media would react if a corresponding situation arose on the center-right of the political spectrum," the leaders wrote.
"Let's assume that congressional debate were racing as to whether or not taxpayers should continue to fund Planned Parenthood, which receives about $500 million a year from Congress. If a national pro-life advocacy organization were to release a map with caricatures of abortionists and title it, 'Here's Where the Baby Killers are Located in Your State,' would the media run the story? Would it reprint the map and discuss the location of these 'pro-death' doctors throughout the news day? Clearly, it would not."
So why does the media prop up the SPLC? Why do Apple, J.P. Morgan, MGM Resorts, and other companies partner with the organization?
The letter was remarkably restrained, given the most recent map published by the SPLC. Last month, the group published a map of every single Confederate monument across the United States, but it did not just include monuments.
This Confederate "hate map" included elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. The SPLC's post publishing the map also warned of "turmoil and bloodshed" if Confederate monuments were not removed.
Now, such a map may not inspire a terror attack like that perpetrated by Floyd Lee Corkins at FRC, but it could easily inspire protests. Americans have seen recent protests against Confederate monuments break out into violence, and no kid deserves to walk to school amidst flying rocks, spraying mace, and the kinds of disruptions associated with "antifa" activists.
According to a recent poll, a plurality of Americans oppose companies going after conservative groups on the SPLC hate list. When asked if Internet companies like Paypal, Google, Facebook, and Twitter should use the SPLC list "as an excuse to censor or suppress mainstream and non-violent conservative groups by denying them access to their services," more Americans said no (43 percent) than yes (32 percent). Many Americans frankly admitted they did not know (25 percent).
The media's malpractice in reporting this story has already damaged public opinion, leading almost a third of Americans to support internet companies silencing conservative voices in the SPLC marks them as "hateful." This letter could not come out fast enough.

Jindal says he'd veto budget tied to tax break suspensions
BATON ROUGE - Gov. Bobby Jindal says he won't support any legislative effort to temporarily suspend tax breaks to drum up quick cash to patch together next year's budget.
The Republican governor said Thursday he's told lawmakers that he would consider the move a tax increase and he would veto a budget dependent on it. He equated the proposals to "games or loopholes."
But Jindal says he thinks lawmakers will find a longer-term solution to the state's $1.6 billion budget shortfall, with tax changes and spending reductions.
Lawmakers looking for ways to stop deep cuts to health care and colleges have filed an array of proposals to generate money. Two dozen proposals are temporary tax break suspensions that could provide a short-term fix to balance the budget if no broader agreement is reached.

In the kitchen one night, I found a mouse caught in the trap. As I went to dispose of it, the dead mouse told me this-
"My friend, you are the strangest of all God's creatures. You move mountains from the land so that you can build islands in the ocean, simply because you are determined to do so. You turn over stones, peer into the clouds, even venture through time and space seeking to reaffirm your existence. You create names to understand things and numbers to quantify them, and then you scour these things for meaning. Yet, you are not at ease with your own name, nor how you have defined yourself, nor even of your own strength. You are distraught with a hunger to know who you are, why you are, and where you come from. The earth trembles before your path, and your strange and mighty ways have made all other creatures fear you.
Now, here you are. And here, the trap that you set…
You see, my friend, until a short while ago I was but a mouse, looking for something to eat to quiet my own hunger."
Then there was silence.
I believed what the dead mouse told me that night. The next morning, I showed it to my mother, and she cried. I showed it to my father, and he tried to take it away. I showed it to my brother, but he only saw a dead mouse and nothing more.
