The Difference Between Games & Artgames
By Chase Williams Last updated Jun 19, 2018
Now we're getting into the meat and potatoes of "Challenging Assumptions: On Art & Videogames", and this next entry satisfies the appetite of those who think games can express ideas in ways unique to the form. John Sharp dedicates a chapter to artgames: which use "the innate properties of games–among them interactivity, game mechanics, and player goals– to create expressive play experiences" that push for more than pure entertainment. Let's dig in.
In this section, John Sharp takes some time to define in great detail what a game is. At their core, games are systems "set in motion and experienced through play." Furthermore, a system is "a set of objects, each with their own attributes, that interact within an environment." The point of contact between the player and the game which facilitates interaction are the game's mechanics.
(I always love when authors lay out the definition of games and break down the object in its most basic terms. It's a sobering experience to remember what is often lost in the deluge of game discussion. Also, notice how he defines games so pointedly? If only Art was so easily explained…)
Developers making artgames utilize and manipulate the above characteristics. Sharp explains these games arrived in the mid-2000s when developers began considering the "aesthetic, theoretical, and conceptual intentions" typically associated with art making.
(Is this his definition of art? A piece of it? A form made with the above considerations?)
Ultimately, artgames take care to create sets of "highly stylized systems" and mechanics that represent ideas, metaphors, and allegories. These are then experienced through the playspace and player interaction.
Let's hear Sharp's prime example. In an autobiographical game from Jason Rohrer titled Gravitation, players assume the role of Jason and must balance two crucial responsibilities: loving Jason's son and satisfying his own creative urges which provide for his family.
To fulfill Jason's creative side, players navigate a maze above the house while collecting stars. These stars also fuel the hearth that provides warmth in the home. Meanwhile, if Jason doesn't play catch with his son, the window through which players view the gameworld shrinks, meaning Jason can't navigate the maze easily. Additionally, Jason sometimes has creative eureka moments, communicated to the player by Jason's head catching fire. In this state, Jason jumps higher and can navigate the maze easier.
Balancing quality time with Jason's son and keeping the hearth alive show how game mechanics can create metaphorical play experiences. Games by their nature put players into active decision making roles, which extend the potential impact these metaphors can hold.
(In my eyes, the above example is a masterful example of how to tell stories in ways unique to games, and why I actively seek to disagree with the conventional story telling practices in most triple-A titles. If I asked a player what they did in Gravitation, they would say, "I tried to satisfy my creativity but I didn't pay enough attention to my son so he left." That right there is your story, no cutscene needed.)
Artgames are almost always concerned with conveying a message. Yet, Sharp points out that the "open-ended nature of games" lies in direct tension with the ability for them to deliver a message. Since players can do anything they desire in a playspace, it's far from guaranteed they'll receive the intended message. Personally, I acknowledge that systems and mechanics may elegantly create metaphors and allegories, but the aesthetic experience of playing games, the physical trance our bodies enter while engaged, carries no meaning.
Lastly, I want to mention Sharp's analysis of well-known game developer Jonathan Blow. Sharp describes Blow by saying, "as far as the 'are games art?' argument goes, Jonathan Blow is decidedly in the 'who cares?' camp." He also adds that Blow "finds 'Art' to be irrelevant both to culture as a whole and to his own life and work." Instead, he is concerned with how games can provide knowledge "understood through play".
(I must admit, I was pretty freakin' stoked to see my attitude towards the 'are games art?' discussion reflected so exactly by a game-making genius the likes of which I will never equal.)
In conclusion, artgames seek to make games with expressive content, or with the goal of conveying ideas. They leverage the inherent qualities of games, the systems, mechanics, and interactivity to do so. This approach fits in nicely with John Dewey's outlook on how art can produce knowledge. Specifically, "knowledge produced through art is experiential." For those looking for games that express ideas in ways no other medium can, you should start here.

Life's challenges motivated me to find different ways of working with the body and mind, so I could experience many interesting methods of working with myself. I was attracted by the ones that worked the best in my case: Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release as well as Gentle Bio-Energetics by Eva Reich and EEG Biofeedback.
As a result, I completed a 2-year Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release training organized by the Integral Body Institute. I am one of the institute's practitioners and I assist in trainings.
I made the beginner and advanced Gentle Bio-Energetics workshop according to Eva Reich, led by Richard Overly, one of Eva Reich's students.
I completed the EEG Biofeedback I and II degree training in accordance with the guidelines of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance, supported by a 6-year practice under supervision.

Brighton & Hove climate assembly
What the climate assembly was
Advisory group members
Presentations and materials
Report, response and next steps
The climate assembly brought together a representative group of the Brighton & Hove population to explore how we combat climate change over the next decade.
It was designed and facilitated by Ipsos MORI, which is independent of us. They are experienced in delivering deliberative engagement processes like citizens' assemblies.
When it took place
Following advice from the UK government in managing Coronavirus (COVID-19) and to protect the health and wellbeing of all the participants, we decided to hold the climate assembly online.
The climate assembly took place over 5 sessions.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the shaping of the climate assembly and for your support during this difficult time.
How it worked
Brighton & Hove's climate assembly brought together a randomly selected group of people to learn about climate issues, discuss them with one another, and make recommendations about what should happen and how things should change.
Around 50 residents took part. They were selected at random to be members of the climate assembly.
The recruitment process was carried out by the Sortition Foundation. This organisation has expertise in ensuring that a cross-section of the population is represented on citizen assemblies.
What it was about
The climate assembly looked at transport as it is one of the city's biggest sources of carbon emissions. The sessions focussed on the question: How can we step up actions to reduce transport-related emissions in the city?
Over the 5 sessions the climate assembly members heard evidence, deliberated and developed recommendations for actions the council and wider city can take to become carbon neutral by 2030.
Sessions included presentations and workshops. The residents on the assembly had the opportunity to hear from engaging expert speakers and discussed the issues involved with facilitators, who made sure everyone had their voice heard.
The first session provided an introduction to transport in the city and how the council is proposing to reduce carbon emissions by 2030. It asked participants about the biggest climate change challenges for them.
Climate assembly advisory board
An independent advisory board of 15 volunteer experts and activists supported the climate assembly.
Together with the council they made sure there was a diverse selection of speakers to present information to the assembly. These included policy experts, campaigners and local stakeholders.
The council had the final decision on suggestions and recommendations made by the advisory board.
Youth climate assembly
Young people in the city are setting up a youth climate assembly for people aged 13 to 19 (up to 25 with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) and care leavers) to mirror the main climate assembly on transport.
They would like others to join them and make their voices heard.
Find out how to get involved in the youth climate assembly.

Marjorie Evelyn Morrison died Wednesday, December 14th in Chilliwack of pneumonia after several years battling Alzheimer's Disease. She was 76 years old.
Born in Vancouver in 1935, she attended Livingstone School and King Edward High School before moving to California in 1960. Settling first in San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district, she later moved to San Rafael and Petaluma. With her husband Tim, she returned to British Columbia when she retired in 1999. Together they lived on Gabriola Island and in Chilliwack.
She is survived by her husband Tim O'Neal, her sister Kay Davies and her sons George and Ian Stoba and their families.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 21st at the Chilliwack Senior Veterans Society, located at 9233 Main Street, Chilliwack, BC.
Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Society of British Columbia or to a favourite charity.


Every season brings on a new hair trend that seems to take over the masses. Remember when Rihanna came out as "RiRi" and showed off a new bob along with her 3rd album which captured the world? Everyone was asking for the, good girl gone bad hairstyle. Two years ago it was the ombré effect. Last season it was all about pop color hair, surprisingly even gray. This season though is all about the long bob (Lob)! No one has been photographed more than Kylie Jenner with her ever-changing hair but she works the LOB the best.
Now the lob is nothing new by any means. I will say the difference this year is the part down the middle. Most bob hairstyles in the past are always with a side-part.
Now that I am a natural hair girl I want to try this look but have to figure out the best way to protect my hair being the style looks great when straight. Curly hair is easy for the summer but a nice short cut would work just as well. Stay tune as I hope to showcase the look as well. Will you?
Onassis menswear came on the fashion scene four years ago and integrated high-tech treatments into sophisticated casual wear essentials. Onassis men are entrepreneurs in each of their endeavors, from their businesses to their personal lives. They are creative risk takers who are visionaries with the confidence and swagger that is the characteristic of today's entrepreneur.
As I stepped into the global flagship Soho store nestled on the cobblestone block of Greene Street to celebrate the Spring/Summer Launch of the Onassis Man, I started thinking about men that I could style in these relaxed contemporary pieces. I was immediately drawn to the pictures on the wall and noticed that the men in the photos were also in attendance that night. Thought it was pretty cool. Even more cool was the interview I later had with celebrity hair colorist Justin Anderson about what it means to be a Onassis man. He is responsible for Jennifer Aniston's highlights, Miley Cyrus' blonde and Kelly Osbourne's lavender hair. Justin founded dpHUE, (do professional) which is disrupting the at-home color industry by providing professionally mixed color for at home use. He creates, innovates and cultivates his legacy from the ground up which makes him the embodiment of a "Onassis Man". Read the interview here.


The rolling scissors is a more advanced version of the flat scissors. If you haven't flown flat scissors, check out some of the training links in my WWII Combat Tips Page and come back to this after you have mastered them.
How do you get into rolling scissors?
When a fast, high plane attacks a lower plane, the lower plane (if he is smart) will pull up to face the attacker. After they pass, the fast fighter will either extend, or he will pull up to trade speed for altitude. While the fast fighter is pulling up, the slow fighter is pulling down to get his speed up for the next pass. They have entered the rolling scissors, basically two planes following each other in a barrel roll.
How do I win the rolling scissors?
Conserve energy. The first plane to run out of juice is the first one to either stall or flatten out and fly straight.
If you are the faster fighter, you want to conserve energy by pulling up with your wings level to the horizon, and making your turns while vertical. Extend up in the vertical until you get to a comfortable speed to quickly turn back down (don't get too slow).
If you are the slower fighter, you want to minimize the vertical part of your scissors to keep your speed up. Use your slower speed and tighter turns to your advantage, but keep your speed up at all costs.
Figure 1: Rolling Scissors with a faster and slower plane.
If both planes have equal speed, it is a contest for who is smoothest on the stick and can keep their speed up. In this case, the enemy plane often will seem "locked", you will see it out the same direction of your cockpit through the entire roll.
Rolling Scissors in action. Film available in Flim Section.
This one takes a bit of practice, but when done properly it is a wonderful sight. Your opponent will spend the entire time looking at you but not able to get one shot off until you land on his 6. Check out the film for a great example.

There was a time when Musashi-Koyama was famous for little besides having a shopping arcade that seemed to go on forever. That arcade is still there, but we're more likely to make a detour to the area to get a quick jolt at Amameria Espresso. Opened in the summer of 2010 by certified cupping judge Toshiaki Ishii, this intimate shop – all exposed brick and cement walls, wooden floors and upright piano in one corner – roasts its own beans, and the aroma alone is likely to lure first-time customers. Coffees are prepared on a handsome Synesso machine, and the espresso is buttery with a bracing citrus tang. The Gibraltar – essentially a condensed latte served in a dinky glass – has good crema, smooth with a caramelly finish. Amameria sells its house-roasted beans, including an award-winning (and, at ¥1,800 for 200g, pricey) Nicaraguan San Antonio, and they also stock an array of coffee-making gear. The shop is non-smoking, and there's a bare-bones food menu that includes 'butter toast' and waffles.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM MEALS ON WHEELS – 20TH MARCH 2020
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Commonwealth and State Governments have now declared Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. With infection rates accelerating, yesterday, Tasmanian Premier, The Hon Peter Gutwein MP announced the toughest border protection measures to contain the spread of Coronavirus by enforcing self-isolation for 14 days for all people arriving into Tasmania.
As an Aged Care Provider supporting vulnerable members of the community, Meals on Wheels would like to provide you with assurance that we have and are taking necessary steps to ensure preparedness should any of our branches be impacted by COVID-19.
Meals on Wheels is closely monitoring all available advice of Federal and State Governments in regards to COVID-19, particularly the Australian Department of Public Health. We are using this information, which is updated regularly, to inform the management strategies we develop to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of our clients, volunteers and employees. We are also taking advice from Meals on Wheels Australia to ensure a national response to this issue.
What we know:
COVID-19 is a new form of the Coronavirus and it has been spreading around the world. Symptoms may include fever, coughing, sore throat, difficulty breathing and flu-like symptoms such as headaches.
COVID-19 is spread by direct or close contact with a person while they are infectious or by touching surfaces contaminated from a cough or sneeze from a person with the infection, and then touching your mouth or face.
Given the heightened risk that Coronavirus poses to our clients, and also our staff and volunteers, we need to make sure that everyone is following requirements provided by Meals on Wheels Tasmania to ensure we continue to provide a safe environment for all our workers. It is extremely important that we all work together to reduce the risk of the spread of this infection.
To assist in providing our staff, Board and volunteers with a safe and healthy workplace, Meals on Wheels will:
Display posters around 'knowing the signs', 'safe hand washing' and other information as required
Provide up to date information where possible via email, facebook, verbally or memos
Ensure all sinks/bathrooms at Meals on Wheels facilities have adequate soap/sanitiser and paper towels for safe hand washing
Ensure all staff and volunteers have access to hand sanitiser, gloves and / or antibacterial wipes to be used for delivery of meals
Notify staff and volunteers if we are aware of a client, volunteer or staff member who has been affected by the virus (NB: privacy will need to be maintained so we may not be able to provide the name of person who has the virus)
When / if a client has contracted the virus, we will endeavor to continue to provide meals to that client in the safest, most practical way (where possible) and only with your knowledge and consent
We will only provide meals where possible and where volunteer/staff who deliver meals consent to, are comfortable to do so and where adequate infection control procedures are in place (ie. it may involve leaving meals in an esky outside, or delivering with adequate personal protective equipment)
Do all that we can to ensure the protection of staff, volunteers and clients at all times
No longer do face to face visits until further notice. Client assessments will be conducted over the phone
Cancel any work-related interstate travel until further notice
Teleconference for external meetings to minimise attending large gatherings
Request a safe space between workers (1.5m) both at work and in social environments
Focus on hygiene, hand washing and respiratory etiquette to minimise the spread of germs
Encourage our staff to stay away from work if unwell and sending people home if they present to work unwell
Prepare to manage any outbreak of infectious diseases such as the flu or gastro. We do this every year and we are implementing the same procedures now to try and prevent the virus from spreading
Follow the advice from health authorities and work with them to ensure we are as prepared as we can be. Our focus is on ensuring the health and wellbeing of our clients, staff and volunteers.
All staff, volunteers and Board members will do the following:
Notify their manager or Branch Coordinator if they have travelled outside of Tasmania
Notify their manager or Branch Coordinator if they believe they do have, or are at risk of contracting the virus
Notify their manager or Branch Coordinator if they are unwell and show any symptoms of the Coronavirus. These symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue and / or shortness of breath

a fall. His own admirable good sense preserved him from this error, and taught him to cultivate a style in which excellence was within his reach. Dryden had not the same self-knowledge. He saw that the greatest poets were never so successful as when they rushed beyond the ordinary bounds, and that some inexplicable good fortune preserved them from tripping even when they staggered on the brink of nonsense. He did not perceive that they were guided and sustained by a power denied to himself. They wrote from the dictation of the imagination, and they found a response in the imaginations of others. He, on the contrary, sat down to work himself, by reflection and argument, into a deliberate wildness, a rational frenzy.
We will give a few examples. Nothing can be finer than the description of Hector at the Grecian wall.
ο δ' αρ' εσθορε φαιδιμος Εκτωρ,
Νυκτι 90η αταλαντος υπωπια· λαμπε δε χαλκω
Σμερδαλεω, τον εεστο περι χροι· δοια δε χερσιν
Δουρ' έχει ουκ αν τις μιν ερυκακοι αντιβολήσας,
Νόσφι θεων, στ' εσαλτο πυλας· πυρι δ' οσσε δεδηει
Αττικα δ' οι μεν τειχος υπερβασαν, οι δε κατ' αυτας
Ποιητάς επεχυντο πυλας. Δαναοι δ' εφοβηθεν
Νηας ανα γλαφυρας ̇ ομάδος δ' αλιαστος ετύχθη.
What daring expressions! Yet how significant! How picturesque! Hector seems to rise up in his strength and fury. The gloom of night in his frown-the fire burning in his eyes-the javelins and the blazing armourthe mighty rush through the gates and down the battleinents-the trampling and the infinite roar of the multitude-every thing is with us; every thing is real.
Dryden has described a very similar event in Maximin; and has done his best to be sublime, as follows:
"There with a forest of their darts he strove,
And stood like Capaneus defying Jove;
With his broad sword the boldest beating down,
Till Fate grew pale, lest he should win the town,
And turned the iron leaves of its dark book
To make new dooins, or mend what it mistook."
These are very favourable instances. Those who wish for a bad one may read the dying speeches of Maximin, and may compare them with the last scenes of Othello and Lear.
In looking over the admirable designs which accompany the Faust, we have always been much struck by one which represents the wizard and the tempter riding at full speed. The demon sits on his furious horse as heedlessly as if he were reposing on a chair. That he should keep his saddle in such a posture, would seem impossible to any who did not If Dryden had died before the expiration of know that he was secure in the privileges of the first of the periods into which we have dia superhuman nature.

What have raised him to eminence; whose diction they might securely venture to do, it was mad- and whose numbers had sometimes very high ness in him to attempt. It was necessary that merit, but all whose works were blemished by taste and critical science should supply its a false taste and by errors of gross negligence. deficiencies. A few of his prologues and epilogues might perhaps still have been remembered and quoted. In these little pieces, he early showed all the powers which afterwards rendered him the greatest of modern satirists. But during the latter part of his life, he gradually abandoned the drama. His plays appeared at longer intervals. He renounced rhyme in tragedy. His language became less turgid, his characters less exaggerated. He did not indeed produce correct representations of human nature; but he ceased to daub such monstrous chimeras as those which abound in his earlier pieces. Here and there passages occur worthy of the best drama requires changes with every change of ages of the British stage. The style which the character and situation.

Sometimes there is a scene of solemn debate. This a mere rhetorician may write as well as the greatest tragedian that ever lived. We confess that to us the speech of Sempronius in Cato seems very nearly as good as Shakspeare could have made it. But when the senate breaks up, and we find that the lovers and their mistresses, the hero, the villain, and the deputy villain, all continue to harangue in the same style, we perceive the difference between a man who can write a play and a man who can
How exquisite is the imagery of the fairysongs in the Tempest and the Midsummer Night's Dream; Ariel riding through the twilight on the bat, or sucking in the bells of
flowers with the bee: or the little bower-women of Titania, driving the spiders from the couch of the Queen! Dryden truly said, that
"Shakspeare's magic could not copied be; Within the circle none durst walk but be."
It would have been well if he had not himself
dared to step within the enchanted line, and
drawn on himself a fate similar to that which,
according to the old superstition, punished
such presumptuous interferences. The follow-
ing lines are parts of the song of his fairies:
"Merry, merry, merry, we sail from the East,
Half-tippled at a rainbow feast.
In the bright moonshine, while winds whistle loud,
Tivy, tivy, tivy, we mount and we fly,
All racking along in a downy white cloud;
And lest our leap from the sky prove too far,
We slide on the back of a new falling star,
And drop from above
In a jelly of love."
talent for description, or a talent for narration, may, for a time, pass for dramatic genius. Dryden was an incomparable reasoner in verse. He was conscious of his power; he was proud of it; and the authors of the Rehearsal justly charged him with abusing it. His warriors and princesses are fond of discussing points of amorous casuistry, such as would have delighted a Parliament of Love. They frequently go still deeper, and speculate on philosophical necessity and the origin of evil.
write a speech. In the same manner, wit, a fell into natural and pleasing verse. In this department, he succeeded as completely as his contemporary Gibbons succeeded in the similar enterprise of carving the most delicate flowers from heart of oak. The toughest and most knotty parts of language became ductile at his touch. His versification in the same manner, while it gave the first model of that neatness and precision which the following generation esteemed so highly, exhibited, at the same time, the last examples of nobleness, freedom, variety of pause and cadence. His tragedies in rhyme, however worthless in themselves, had at least served the purpose of nonsenseverses: they had taught him all the arts of melody which the heroic couplet admits. For bombast, his prevailing vice, his new subjects gave little opportunity; his better taste gra dually discarded it.
There were, however, some occasions which absolutely required this peculiar talent. Then Dryden was indeed at home. All his best scenes are of this description. They are all between men; for the heroes of Dryden, like many other gentlemen, can never talk sense when ladies are in company. They are all intended to exhibit the empire of reason over violent passion. We have two interlocutors, the one eager and impassioned, the other high, cool, and judicious. The composed and rational character gradually acquires the ascendency. His fierce companion is first inflamed to rage by his reproaches, then overawed by his equanimity, convinced by his arguments, and soothed by his persuasions. This is the case in the scene between Hector and Troilus, in that between Antony and Ventidius, and in that between Sebastian and Dorax. Nothing of the same kind in Shakspeare is equal to them, except the quarrel between Brutus and Cassius, which is worth them all three.
He possessed, as we have said, in a preeminent degree, the power of reasoning in verse; and this power was now peculiarly useful to him. His logic is by no means uniformly sound. On points of criticism, he always reasons ingeniously; and, when he is disposed to be honest, correctly. But the theological and political questions, which he undertook to treat in verse, were precisely those which he understood least. His arguments, therefore, are often worthless. But the manner in which they are stated is beyond all praise. The style is transparent. The topics follow each other in the happiest order. The objections are drawn up in such a manner, that the whole fire of the reply may be brought to bear on them. The circumlocutions which are substituted for technical phrases, are clear, neat, and exact. The illustrations at once adorn and elucidate the reasoning. The sparkling epigrams of Cowley, and the simple garrulity of the burlesque poets of Italy, are alternately employed, in the happiest manner, to give effect to what is obvious; or clearness to what is obscure.
Some years before his death, Dryden altogether ceased to write for the stage. He had turned his powers in a new direction, with success the most splendid and decisive. His taste had gradually awakened his creative faculties. The first rank in poetry was beyond his reach, but he challenged and secured the most honourable place in the second. His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich. It enabled him to run, though not to soar. When he attempted the highest flights, he became ridiculous; but while he remained in a lower region, he outstripped all competitors.
His literary creed was catholic, even to latitudinarianism; not from any want of acuteness, but from a disposition to be easily satisAll his natural and all his acquired powers fied. He was quick to discern the smallest fitted him to found a good critical school of glimpse of merit; he was indulgent even to poetry. Indeed, he carried his reforms too far gross improprieties, when accompanied by any for his age. After his death, our literature re-redeeming talent.

No writer, it must be
owned, has carried the fiattery of dedication to a greater length. But this was not, we suspect, merely interested servility; it was the overflowing of a mind singularly disposed to admiration,-of a mind which diminished vices, and magnified virtues and obligations. The most adulatory of his addresses is that in which he dedicates the State of Innocence to Mary of Modena. Johnson thinks it strange that any man should use such language without self-detestation. But he has not remarked that to the very same work is prefixed an eulogium on Milton, which certainly could not have been acceptable at the court of Charles the Second. Many years later, when Whig principles were in a great measure triumphant, Sprat refused to admit a monument of John Philips into Westminster Abbey, because, in the epitaph, the name of Milton incidentally occurred. The walls of his church, he declared, should not be polluted by the name of a republican! Dryden was attached, both by principle and interest to the court. But nothing could deaden his sensibility to excellence. We are unwilling to accuse him severely, because the same disposition, which prompted him to pay so generous a tribute to the memory of a poet whom his patrons detested, hurried him into extravagance when he described a princess, distinguished by the splendour of her beauty, and the gracious
ness of her manners.

Those faults which spring from affectation, 1 me and thought in a great measure removed from his poems. But his carelessness he retained to the last. If towards the close of his life h less frequently went wrong from negligence, it was only because long habits of composition rendered it more easy to go right. In his best pieces, we find false rhymes-triplets, in which the third line appears to be a mere intruder, and, while it breaks the music, adds nothing to the meaning-gigantic Alexandrines of fourteen and sixteen syllables, and truncated verses for which he never troubled himself to find a termination or a partner.
Such are the beauties and the faults which may be found in profusion throughout the later works of Dryden. A more just and complete estimate of his natural and acquired powers, of the merits of his style and of its blemishes, may be formed from the Hind and Panther, than from any of his other writings. As a didactic poem, it is far superior to the Religio Laici. The satirical parts, particularly the character of Burnet, are scarcely inferior to the best passages in Absalom and Achitophel There are, moreover, occasional touches of a tenderness which affects us more, because it is decent, rational, and manly, and reminds us of the best scenes in his tragedies. His versification sinks and swells in happy unison with the subject; and his wealth of language seems to be unlimited. Yet the carelessness with which he has constructed his plot, and the innumerable inconsistencies into which he is every moment falling, detract much from the pleasure which such varied excellence affords. In Absalom and Achitophel he hit upon a new and rich vein, which he worked with signal success. The ancient satirists were the subjects of a despotic government. They were compelled to abstain from political topics, and to confine their attention to the frailties of private life. They might, indeed, sometimes venture to take liberties with public men,
"Quorum Flaminia tegitur cinis atque Latina."
This is an amiable temper; but it is not the temper of great men. Where there is elevation of character, there will be fastidiousness. It is only in novels, and on tombstones, that we meet with people who are indulgent to the faults of others, and unmerciful to their own; and Dryden, at all events, was not one of these paragons. His charity was extended most liberally to others, but it certainly began at home. In taste he was by no means deficient. His critical works are, beyond all comparison, superior to any which had, till then, appeared in England. They were generally intended as apologies for his own poems, rather than as expositions of general principles; he, therefore, often attempts to deceive the reader by sophistry, which could scarcely have deceived himself. His dicta are the dicta, not of a judge, but of an advocate; often of an advocate in au unsound cause. Yet, in the very act of misrepresenting the laws of composition, he shows how well he understands them. But he was perpetually acting against his better knowledge. His sins were sins against light. He trusted, that what was bad would be pardoned for the sake of what was good. What was goal, he took no pains make bet-cence, the first cream, is gone. Boileau lay ter.

He had set up no unattainable match for our countryman. standard of perfection, the contemplation of which might at once improve and mortify him. His path was not attended by an unapproachable mirage of excellence, forever receding and forever pursued. He was not disgusted by the negligence of others, and he extended the same toleration to himself. His mind was of a slovenly character-fond of splendour, but indiferent to neatness. Hence most of VOLL 7

The advantages which Dryden derived from the nature of his subject he improved to the very utmost. His manner is almost perfect. The style of Horace and Boileau is fit only for light subjects.

We cannot, indeed, think, without regret, of the part which so eminent a writer as Dryden took in the disputes of that period. There was, no doubt, madness and wickedness on both sides. But there was liberty on the one, and despotism on the other. On this point, however, we will not dwell. At Talavera the English and French troops for a moment suspended their conflict, to drink of a stream which flowed between them. The shells were passed across from enemy to enemy without apprehension or molestation. We, in the same manner, would rather assist our political adversaries to drink with us of that fountain of intellectual pleasure which should be the common refreshment of both parties, than disturb and pollute it with the havoc of unseasonable hostilities.
We are, on the whole, inclined to regret that Dryden did not accomplish his purpose of writing an epic poem. It certainly would not have been a work of the highest rank. It would not have rivalled the Iliad, the Odyssey, or the Paradise Lost; but it would have been superior to the productions of Apollonius, Lucan, or Statius, and not inferior to the Jerusalem Delivered. It would probably have been a vigorous narrative, animated with something of the spirit of the old romances, enriched with much splendid description, and interspersed with fine declamations and disquisitions. The danger of Dryden would have been from aiming too high; from dwelling too much, for example, on his angels of kingdoms, and attempting a competition with that great writer, who in his own time had so incomparably succeed. ed in representing to us the sights and sounds of another world. To Milton, and to Milton alone, belonged the secrets of the great deep, the beach of sulphur, the ocean of fire; the palaces of the fallen dominations, glimmering through the everlasting shade, the silent wilderness of verdure and fragrance where armed angels kept watch over the sleep of the first lovers, the portico of diamond, the sea of jasper, the sapphire pavement empurpled with By comparing it with the impotent ravings celestial roses, and the infinite ranks of the of the heroic tragedies, we may measure the Cherubim, blazing with adamant and gold. progress which the mind of Dryden had made.

There is none of that "darkness visible" of style which he had formerly affected, and in which the greatest poets only can succeed. Every thing is definite, significant, and picturesque. His early writings resembled the gigantic works of those Chinese gardeners who attempt to rival nature herself, to form cataracts of terrific height and sound, to raise precipitous ridges of mountains, and to imitate in artificial plantations the vastness and the gloom of some primeval forest. This manner he abandoned; nor did he ever adopt the Dutch taste which Pope affected, the trim

Macflecnoe is inferior to Absalom and Achitophel, only in the subject. In the execution it is even superior. But the greatest work of Dryden was the last, the Ode on Saint Cecilia's day. It is the masterpiece of the second class of poetry, and ranks but just below the great models of the first. It reminds us of the Pedasus of Achilles,
Dryden.
But we have not space to pass in review all the works which Dryden wrote. We, therefore, will not speculate longer on those which he might possibly have written. He may, on the whole, be pronounced to have been a man possessed of splendid talents, which he often abused, and of a sound judgment, the admonitions of which he often neglected; a man who succeeded only in an inferior department of his art, but who, in that department, succeeded pre-eminently; and who, with a mo independent spirit, a more anxious desire excel lence, and more respect for himself, v ovld, in his own walk, have attained to so ver fection

HISTORY.*
[EDINBURGH REVIEW, 1828.]
talent for description and dialogue, and the pure sweet flow of his language, place him at the head of narrators. He reminds us of a delightful child. There is a grace beyond the reach of affectation in his awkwardness, a malice in his innocence, an intelligence in his nonsense, an insinuating eloquence in his lisp. We know of no writer who makes such interest for himself and his book in the heart of the reader. At the distance of three-and-twenty centuries, we feel for him the same sort of pitying fondness which Fontaine and Gay are said to have inspired in society. He has written an incomparable book. He has written something better perhaps than the best history; but he has not written a good history;
To write history respectably-that is, to abbreviate despatches, and make extracts from speeches, to intersperse in due proportion epithets of praise and abhorrence, to draw up antithetical characters of great men, setting forth how many contradictory virtues and vices they united, and abounding in withs and withouts; all this is very easy. But to be a really great historian is perhaps the rarest of intellectual distinctions. Many Scientific works are, in their kind, absolutely perfect. There are Poems which we should be inclined to designate as faultless, or as disfigured only by blemishes which pass unnoticed in the general blaze of excellence. There are Speeches, some speeches of Demosthenes particularly, in which it would be impossible to alter a he is, from the first to the last chapter, an inword, without altering it for the worse.

The most authentic parts of his work bear the same relation to his wildest legends, which Henry the Fifth bears to the Tempest. There was an expedition undertaken by Xerxes against Greece; and there was an invasion of France. There was a battle at Platea; and there was a battle at Agincourt. Cambridge and Exeter, the Constable and the Dauphin, were persons as real as Demaratus and Pausanias. The harangue of the Archbishop on the Salic Law and the Book of Numbers differs much less from the orations which have in all ages proceeded from the Right Reverend bench, than the speeches of Mardonius and Artabanus, from those which were delivered at the Council-board of Susa. Shakspeare gives us enumerations of armies, and returns of killed and wounded, which are not, we suspect, much less accurate than those of Herodotus. There are passages in Herodotus nearly as long as acts of Shakspeare, in which every thing is told dramatically, and in which the narrative serves only the purpose of stage-directions. It is possible, no doubt, that the substance of some real conversations may have been reported to the historian. But events which, if they ever happened, happened in ages and nations so remote that the particulars could never have been known to him, are related with the greatest minuteness of detail. We have all that Candaules said to Gyges, and all that passed between Astyages and Harpagus. We are, therefore, unable to judge whether, in the account which he gives of transactions, respecting which he might possibly have been well informed, we can trust to any thing be yond the naked outline; whether, for example,

NEELE. London, 1829.
The cause may easily be assigned. This province of literature is a debatable land. It lies on the confines of two distinct territories. It is under the jurisdiction of two hostile powers; and, like other districts similarly situated, it is ill defined, ill cultivated, and ill regulated. Instead of being equally shared between its two rulers, the Reason and the Imagination, it falls alternately under the sole and absolute dominion of each. It is sometimes fiction. It is sometimes theory.
History, it has been said, is philosophy teaching by examples. Unhappily what the philosophy gains in soundness and depth, the examples generally lose in vividness. A perfect historian must possess an imagination sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque. Yet he must control it so absolutely as to content himself with the materials which he finds, and to refrain from supplying deficiencies by additions of his own. He must be a profound and ingenious reasoner. Yet he must possess sufficient selfcommand to abstain from casting his facts in the mould of his hypothesis. Those who can justly estimate these almost insuperable difficulties will not think it strange that every writer should have failed, either in the narrative or in the speculative department of history.
It may be laid down as a general rule, though subject to considerab'e qualifications and exceptions, that history degins in Novel and ends in Essay. Of the romantic historians Herodotus is the earliest and the best. His animation, his simple-hearted tenderness, his wonderful

On June 24th, 1717, in London, England, four Lodges came together to form the Grand Lodge of England, the first Grand Lodge to be created, bringing together Masons under one unified body. To celebrate the 300th Anniversary of this moment, A Master Mason Degree was held on June 24th, 2017 at the Spartanburg Masonic Temple. Brethren from the 19th, 20th & 21st Districts, participated in raising Brother Michael Johnson, of Inman #201, to the Sublime Degree. After a meal served by the AFM Club Five & Under Team, the Temple was filled to capacity to attend the Degree. The ambiance of the candlelight and music during the conferral of the Degree was a perfect reminder of the past three centuries of tradition and ritual we celebrate this St. John the Baptist's Day. Congratulations on a wonderful job by the Degree Team, and congratulations to the candidate on receiving his Master Mason Degree.

"The Avenue to Lorton" - Athelia Knight - Washington Post
Althelia Knight visited Lorton Reformatory repeatedly to document the ease with which drugs were smuggled into the institution. The trip, about 1/2 hour, was usually undertaken in a van run by a private driver, usually operating without a permit.
Athelia Knight
posed as visitor
The series, which examined the ease with which visitors to Lorton Reformatory could smuggle drugs to inmates, prompted D.C officials to address the problem and announce measures to reduce drug trafficking and use in Lorton, before the series concluded its run.
IV-"Officials Differ on Depth of Prison Drug Problem" - Athelia Knight - Washington Post
Four months ago, before I ventured down to The Avenue to find out how visitors smuggled contraband into Lorton reformatory, several judges said that drugs were so accessible at Lorton they sometimes thought they should send felons with drug problems elsewhere. On Feb 22, D.C. Superior Court Judge Henry Greene did precisely that. Robert S. Carter stood before the judge that day, waiting to be sentenced for selling heroin. Carter had been a drug user for 10 years and had gotten into trouble several times because of his dependence on narcotics.
III-"Threat of Violence Haunts Drivers" - Athelia Knight - Washington Post
Tony parked his camper in the usual spot, across the street from the Woodward & Lorthrop department store, and stepped out into the freezing rain. It was 5:30 on Wednesday evening, four days before Christmas. There were 50 to 60 people along The Avenue. Some were boarding vans and campers such as as Tony's that were bound for Lorton Reformatory, and others, holiday shoppers, were waiting for the next Metrobus to take them home. His hands in his pockets, shoulders hunched against the sleet, Tony walked down to the corner to see another veteran driver, a paraplegic known on the street as Donald. They chatted for a few minutes, Donald up in the seat behind the steering wheel of his van parked near 11th and G, Tony leaning against the side window. A third man appeared out of the darkness and confronted Tony in the roadway. They exchanged a few words. The man went into a boxer's crouch, clenched his fists, and punched Tony in the head, knocking him to the pavement, according to reports. The blows were delivered with such swiftness that Tony never got his hands out of his pockets.
II-"Visitors Make Drug Deliveries to Inmates" - Athelia Knight - Washington Post
Tony's camper reeked with the smoke and aroma of marijuana as it rolled up the hill toward the prison, carrying 25 women on their way to visit the men of Lorton. The trip from The Avenue in downtown Washington had taken about a half-hour on this evening of Nov. 22. It was enough time for some of the passengers to smoke a joint or two, and for one rider who wore her hair in tiny braids held by silver beads, to roll a dozen marijuana cigarettes. I had watched her during the trip as she wrapped her dope - she called it "diamond" - in small sheets of paper, licked the ends shut, and placed the cigarettes in her breast pocket.
I-"Drug Smuggling and Hot Goods: A Ride on Prison Visitors' Buses" - Athelia Knight - Washington Post
No bus stop in Washington is quite like the one downtown near the intersection of 11th and G streets NW, along a stretch of pavement they call The Avenue. There, most evenings and weekend mornings, scores of women gather to ride the unofficial shuttle buses that take them over the Potomac and out of the city, down the highways of suburban Virginia to the place where their men live, Lorton reformatory.

ERISA Litigation Spawns Ninth Circuit Decision in Case of First Impression Regarding Excess Insurance Coverage
On September 30, 2020 By McKean EvansIn ERISA, Insurance
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over Washington and other western states) recently decided a novel question regarding so-called "excess" insurance coverage. Excess insurance exists where a person or entity has two layers of insurance: a "primary" insurer that provides coverage up to a specific dollar amount, and a second, "excess", insurer that provides additional coverage above that amount. In its September 14, 2020 decision in AXIS Reinsurance Company v Northrop Grumman Corporation, the Ninth Circuit addressed the question whether an excess insurer can challenge the primary insurer's decision to pay a claim and thereby trigger the excess insurer's obligation to pay.
The dispute between AXIS and Northrop Grumman began with an ERISA lawsuit. The federal Department of Labor sued Northrop Grumman alleging Northrop acted improperly in handling its ERISA-governed employee savings and pension plans. Northrop paid a confidential amount to settle the DOL lawsuit. Northrop did not admit any wrongdoing, and the lawsuit never resulted in any findings about what specific allegations the settlement payment addressed.
A few months later, Northrop settled a second, unrelated, ERISA lawsuit brought on behalf of the Plan by a plaintiff named Grabek.
Northrop had insurance against these types of ERISA lawsuit through both primary and excess insurance carriers. Northrop's primary insurer, National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, and an initial excess insurer, Continental Casualty Company, provided coverage up to a total of $30 million. AXIS provided secondary excess coverage for losses over $30 million. In other words, AXIS only had to pay claims if Northrop's loss exceeded the $30 million covered by the first two insurers.
The carriers covered Northrop's settlement for the Department of Labor lawsuit. The primary insurer, National Union, and the first excess insurer, Continental, determined the DOL lawsuit was covered, and paid Northrop's full loss out of their combined $30 million limit.
But Northrop ran into trouble getting coverage for the Grabek lawsuit. Having paid for the entire DOL settlement, National Union and Continental determined that all but about $7 million that Northrop had to pay in the Grabek lawsuit exceeded their combined $30 million coverage limits. Having exhausted its first layer of coverage, Northrop turned to its excess insurer AXIS to pay the remainder of the Grabek settlement.
AXIS refused to pay. It agreed there was coverage for the Grabek lawsuit, but it claimed that the first two insurers shouldn't have paid the DOL settlement. AXIS claimed that the primary insurers' policies excluded the DOL settlement. So, AXIS argued, since the first two carriers shouldn't have paid for the DOL settlement, the first $30 million in coverage should never have been exhausted, and AXIS should never have been called upon to pay for the Grabek lawsuit. According to AXIS, this was an "improper erosion" of the initial $30 million in coverage. No federal appellate court had previously addressed AXIS' "improper erosion" theory.
The Ninth Circuit disagreed. It determined that AXIS bore the risk that the primary insurers would exhaust their coverage limits by paying for losses that weren't really covered. The court explained that excess insurers generally may not reduce their own obligation to pay a covered loss by claiming that the primary insurers shouldn't have paid. The court emphasized that excess insurers generally have no right to second guess primary insurers' coverage decisions. The excess insurer could avoid this outcome by including in their policy contracts a provision that improper payments by the primary insurers don't count, but AXIS had no such language.

Three days later, school started, and his mother took him all the way to the doorway. His past parent's were different. This is the 1st time he's being taken by his mom to school.
After he and his mother said their goodbyes, he turned towards Konoha's school that looks almost identical to the one in the anime. He smiled and walked towards the playground.
On the day of registration, the teacher told the new students to come early, as the 3rd hokage will be coming to tell them about the will of fire.
Because of this ceremony that looked a lot to him like brain washing, Ryo was to face the "Big boss" of the town. A few moments later, he was standing in the playground with a Kakashi (who had a lifeless looking regard in his eyes) with only few people with em half an hour before the the speech.
"The 3rd Hokage's coming!"
"Wow! It's really the third Hokage!"
As the place started swarming with more and more people, the playground became more and more noisy, with the 3rd really igniting the crowd. The hokage was looked up to as the grand master of Konoha.
At that time, he was still at his prime. He cordially greeted the students. When passing through Ryo was no exception, as he really looked up to the great Hiruzen Sarutobi so he could hide his large smile of excitement.
The 3rd Hokage was a really talented shinobi, with high proficiency with all 5 elements. He was the student of the previous 2 hokage's. And with his magical Rod and own summon the king monkey Enma, along with his great knowledge of technique, he became the best alive in Konoha without a bloodline limit technique.
The statut of the third was really high in the village. And even the kids at the ninja school admired and adored him. He stood on the stage and started his speech about the will of fire the next few hundred freshmen.
"When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew!"
Ryo has listened to many of these speeches when watching the anime, so it didn't sound that interesting to him. And the speech sound in itself plain and simple. But with the respect and high esteem held towards the 3rd has a deep role in giving these fortunate freshmen a great sense of belonging to the village.
You could the speech taking affect. The students' faces were pumping with enthusiasm ! The speech was a great success. After the 3rd hokage left, the director of the school announced the classification of the students.
Ryo stepped into the classroom walking slowly towards the last seats, were closed his eyes uninterested in playing with a bunch of brats.
The students came one after another. As the class got almost full, a middle-aged man entered the class and went to the podium. "Students, I'll be teaching this class, and my name is Yamashiro Yen. You can call me Yamashiro sensei!"
Ryo rolled his eyes, he didn't like all these formalities
"Students, start by introducing yourself! Say your name, your hobby, your ideals, and start from the very left of the first row!"
"My name is shen. I want to be the greatest illusionist ninja!"
"My name is….."
"I'm Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes… My dreams for the future… Hmm… As for my hobbies… I have lots of hobbies…" It seems Kakashi's signature self-introduction from the series was there from the start.
One ofter one they introduced themselves: Rin Nohara, Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, kurenai Yuhi, Anko Mitarashi, Genma Shiranui… until his turn came up!
"My name is Yamanaka Ryo and I like many things. My goal is to become the strongest ninja!"
Ryo didn't know that this goal of his got him int the centre of attention: He is the 1st among those piles of students to want to become the strongest ninja, and this goal that surpasses the boundaries of Konoha got the sensei really interested in him.
" Great goals every one, I hope you all achieve them. Now come to take your registration forms. Fill them up and you'll officially become students here!"
After receiving the registration form, the freshmen left the school in groups.
"Yamashiro-Sensei!" he is preparing to go out, and the wilderness in front of him called a mountain of silver.
"What's the matter; Rin?"
"Yamashiro Sensei, can you give me the registration form of for classmate Uchiha Obito? I'll deliver it to him."
"Okay, yes! I originally intended to visit him and give the registration form to him. You would free me from the hassle of going!" The teacher was very happy and handed the registration form to Rin.
"Thank you, Yamashiro sensei! Kakashi, we go?"
"Ah!" Kakashi nodded in the doorway.
Ryo was seeing the beginnings of the trio, Rin, Kakashi and Obito, and he felt great about that.
"Yamanaka-Kun, let's go together!" Rin, standing by Kakashi's side, invited Ryo.
"Yeah!" Ryo would never skip this. He was also really looking forward to meeting Obito.
Just like Ryo remembers it from the anime, Obito showed up right as they left the school gate!
"Obito You baka, we haven't even started school and you're late, the ceremony is over!" Said Kakashi in his usual cold tone, while reading a book!
"With no registration form, you cannot be a ninja!" Ryo looked at Obito, and he couldn't help not to mess with him along with Kakashi.
"I Helped my grandma cross the road, and then helped a lost white cat find a home. And then a black
"I just helped my grandma to cross the road and then help the lost white cat to find a home!" Ryo saw where Kakashi's excuses came from!
"Obito, don't worry! I've already got a registration form for you. You'll go back and fill this up and give it to the teacher tomorrow!" As in the original story, Rin was very nice and tolerant.
Her smile moved something within Ryo's soul. "No wonder these guys will choose to subvert the world for her!"
Really excited, Obito took the form thanking Rin eagerly. Kakashi expressed his dissatisfaction with his late arrival (again), and Ryo looked at the noisy little bunch and smiled.
"Hey! Who are you, and how dare you laugh at the future of Konoha?!".
"Obito, this is our classmate, Ryo Yamanaka!" Rin knew Obito's character well and that he tends to offend people. So she hastily cut off his provocative words and gave Ryo a sorry look!
Ryo shook his head and said that it didn't matter. He reached out and said, "I'm Ryo Yamanaka, nice to know you"
"Obito Uchiha! The future Hokage, nice to meet you too!"
"The future Hokage will not be late tomorrow!" Said Ryo, firmly!
"Don't worry! I will not be late tomorrow!"
"Words I've heard many times before!" said Kakashi!
"You bastard!!" and Obito and Kakashi restarted quarrelling.
