The Others, Part 3
Somewhere in the western Pacific Ocean, 1595
Somewhere in the blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean lies a small island. It rose out of the sea like the top of a mountain. Many reefs surrounded the island, so it was hard to approach. The people who lived on it had come to the island thousands of years ago, and had developed their own culture and language independently of the rest of the world.
The Mui, as this small community called itself, lived in constant alert, because the island housed a valuable and powerful treasure.
Many had tried to seize it, but they had all been beaten back by the creatures of the sea, the unforgiving reefs, and the Mui themselves.
Until today.
Five Chinese junks had landed at the island, spewing death and fire onto the land and sea.
Soldiers had swarmed all over the island, burning villages, stealing art treasures, and massacring the population.
Huahua, the high priest, looked on in horror from the temple at the top of the island at what was happening to his people. He was tanned and weather-beaten, and only his long beard showed that he had white hair.
A sword was put to his throat.
He didn't understand what the Chinese man was trying to tell him, but he could guess what he wanted. He clawed his fingers into his blue toga as he watched the plain stone house that was the temple being searched.
And they came out with the box.
Huahua stared hatefully at the robbers while an order was yelled.
And the high priest's throat was cut….
Germany, Dresden, Present
Elli had her first parents' evening.
The problem was that she found herself in a rather disadvantageous position. Namely that of the teacher. Most people were normal, happy about the successes their offspring had with Elli, and apparently took Elli's advice seriously. But some parents could get upset about anything, she noted. Except about their own children. She almost had to laugh at the incredible explanations some fathers and mothers could come up with about misbehavior and bad grades.
"Your pop quizzes are way too strict!" a stocky gentleman with a mustache like a shoebrush roared at the moment.
Mr. Klete, as Elli knew by now.
"No wonder our Ferdinand can't keep up. That's the kind of trash you teach people. He's a hands-on boy."
"Mhm," came an annoyed, curt reply from Elli. "Would explain how he managed to fill the biggest test tube he could find with hydrogen in chemistry. Seriously, if I hadn't caught him, he would have blown up his desk."
"You should have given him clear instructions!"
"I can't get much clearer than 'use only what's on your table', Mr. Klete," Elli replied dryly. "I'd love to blame it on the fact that he's as daft as a brush, but unfortunately he's actually relatively smart. It's just that he doesn't apply his intelligence when it comes to getting ahead in school. In short, he is a lazy sod and only obeys when I step on his fingers, Mr. Klete. I suggest you take away his video games and change the wifi password without telling him. If he's mad, I'll deal with him easier and the class will have something to laugh about. Let's see if that flips the switch in his head. Goodbye."
She smiled sweetly, while Mr. Klete rose with a huff and grumbled as he left the room.
Her next "patient" was not much better.
"I don't see why Lydia got such bad grades in PE!" a relatively young mother with a face that suggested that she had all the answers raged.
Elli liked women like her. They were always as entertaining as they were noisy.
"Mrs. Paschulke," she began slowly, secretly looking forward to the outcome. "I can only refer to what Mrs. Kessel told me, since I don't teach physical education myself, but her explanation seemed as simple as it was plausible. It was, if I remember correctly, and I quote: 'The lass is as fat as two porkers'. From a health point of view, I am inclined to agree with her opinion, even if I wouldn't voice it as direc-"
"NOW LISTEN UP, YOU PART-TIME CRAMMER! MY LYDIA IS STILL GROWING AND DEVELOPING NICELY! IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF HER SCHOOL MAKES SUCH HIGH DEMANDS ON HER BODY!"
Elli was amazed at the organ that could manage such a volume. She was also sure, that it had generated enough wind to make her hair fly.
"Mrs. Paschulke," Elli noted carefully, "your child is developing primarily in width. A whopping 110 kilos, Mrs. Paschulke, that's more than double what she should weigh at that age."
"So what?" the mother replied, undiscerning. "Some children grow differently than others."
"Quite, but even Lydia herself noticed a while ago that something was very wrong. She's been asking me, her biology teacher, for diet tips after my classes."
"Wha- you're the reason she doesn't want to eat right anymore? Are you out of your mind!? My kid is going to starve to death if this keeps up."
Elli put her hands on hers, looked her firmly in the eyes, and smiled an icy, pain-promising smile that she usually saved for serial killers and child molesters. It was enough to make Frau Paschulke's features fall asleep.
"Look, Ma'am," Elli said in a voice as sharp and cold as a scalpel. "I may not be able to stop you from overfeeding your daughter, but if she dies of a heart failure because of her obesity, I'll sic the police and Child Protective Services on you for premeditated murder or maybe just denial of assistance. All right?"
Mrs. Paschulke literally fled the room.
Elli chalked this up as a good deed and decided to call the police on the case soon for possible abuse if things didn't improve.
The next thing she faced was a couple. She had a similar getup to Elli herself, though it was obvious from her face that there actually wasn't much behind it. He actually looked quite normal, if overdressed, with graying hair and a business suit. He was probably cheating his wife, Elli guessed.
"So, what are your worries?"
"We're asking you that" came from the man.
"Well, Mr. Ullich, your son is doing quite well as far as grades in my subjects are concerned, there's just this tiny thing about his behavior. Last week, one of our janitors had to help little Tim from fifth grade get his backpack out of the trash can. Guess who put it in there?"
The woman took a breath to answer, but the father was quicker.
"He was framed for it!"
"Possibly," Elli replied, shrugging her shoulders. "But when I look at the number of offenses he was 'framed' for, as you put it, I think it's very unlikely. The graffiti in the stairwell was just the most innocuous thing. I took him to task after he tried to take our Chloe's lunch money, since then he's been behaving himself around me at least."
The mother raised her finger and was about to say something, but was again nipped in the bud.
"Were you the reason he was so upset the other day? He still gets anxiety attacks when he sees mince pies. What did you do?!"
Now that were some good news…
"I don't know what you're talking about," she lied without blushing. "I'm just good at coaxing kids, that's all. Makes my job incredibly easy."
The mother took breath for the third time but her spouse puffed up.
"Well, do you have any evidence for your accus-"
"Hababap!" Elli interrupted him.
"Cut the crap, I-"
"Hap!"
"What are you-"
"Babap!"
"STOP-!"
"BAP!" Elli croaked unimpressed.
The man glared silently at her.
"Thank you," Elli said smugly, pointing both index fingers at his spouse. "You had something to tell us, Mrs. Ullich?"
"Uh, yes?" she said, taken aback at being asked to speak.
Elli gave her an encouraging nod.
"Well, um, can't you do something about it? I mean, you said yourself that he's decent around you."
"I certainly won't do anything about it," Elli replied refusing and slightly offended. "Raising the lad is your job. I'm just supposed to hammer enough knowledge into him so that when he goes to college or vocational training, he won't get kicked out right away. And as for me being around, if he knows it won't affect me, he'll get going right away."
"Agathe, surely you will have more confidence in your son than in this woman."
"Well, what she says might be true, after all, my mother complains about him all the time too."
"Oh, your mother…"
The whole thing gradually built up to an argument, until Elli emphatically complimented them both out. For once, this wasn't going as planned…. She would probably have to pull a few legal levers to ensure that the boy ended up with the less dangerous influence, i.e. the mother, in the event of a divorce.
She leaned against the wall, sighing. Had she really been working over ten hours straight? And the one she had actually been waiting for had not come. She had volunteered for absolutely nothing…
"I need a vacation," she moaned plaintively.
China, Macau, 1597
It did not understand. It had only followed the call, but now it was trapped. These huge creatures with four arms hurt him. All it had left was some sand in a thing of transparent stone. It was afraid. It wanted to get back on land.
One of the giants came into the cave where it was trapped. It tried to back away as it reached into its prison, but it was no use. It was grabbed.
And thrown out of the cave through a small hole?
Macau is a Chinese port city about 50 kilometers west of Hong Kong. It is known for its gambling halls and is a tourist magnet, mainly because of its proximity to Hong Kong.
Now, relative to Chloe given the year she was in, Macau would become that in the future.
Macau was like a beehive.
There were people everywhere, delivering goods, doing shopping, or building or fixing something.
Something like laziness seemed to be a completely incomprehensible concept here.
She was amazed that the anti-attention talisman worked here, because despite the era-appropriate clothes, basically better bathrobes, light blue for Elli, black with white trim for Chloe, and deep green for Dean, Chloe and Dean stood out like sore thumbs among the Chinese. She because of her white hair, which stood out clearly against the black hairdos near her, and Dean because he was almost twice the size of the average Macau citizen.
"Elli?" she asked, "Why are we here?"
"I've organized a little relaxation vacation," Elli explained. "I know someone here who's going to take us to some high society. With great food. And view of the sea when the area was still somewhat clean."
"Are you sure we should be here? I mean, we don't look like most people here. If the AAT fails-"
"It won't, as long as you don't lose it, Chloe," Elli interrupted her. "And even if it does, you just say you're from Portugal.
"Portugal," Chloe made sure.
"Yes," Elli confirmed. "They have a diocese here."
Chloe didn't look too thrilled. In general, she had found that she preferred to be in European or American areas. There, people didn't look at her as if she were some rare species. Well, at least they eyed her less….
Dean abstained from any comment.
It was not long before they reached a Chinese villa near the sea.
Two guards, their armor made of more cloth and less metal than Chloe had expected, stood in front of it, and the one on the left was visibly startled when Elli tapped her on the shoulder.
"HA! Who goes there!"
He adjusted his egg-shaped helmet and looked in confusion at the newcomers he was only now becoming aware of.
"Howdy," Elli greeted him. "Could you send for Li Mang?"
The guard put his hand to his sword, but did not draw it.
"Hmph. Even if I did, who would I even announce?"
"If you don't, my colleague here will give you a new and completely unnecessary intestinal outlet," Elli explained kindly and politely. "Just tell your mistress that Elli is here. She knows me from way back."
The guard looked first at Dean, who just shrugged, then at his colleague, who also shrugged, and then at Chloe, who shrugged because she too wanted to belong. The trend-setting seemed to work, because the guard also shrugged and walked through the front yard into the mansion.
"You didn't announce us?" asked Dean when he was gone.
"Don't worry, Dean, Li knows me. She's rarely here and I don't get into the Forbidden City easily. Remember our tête-à-tête with Emperor Hóngwǔ1. Leaving aside the fact that I would have gotten Li in trouble with an announcement no matter where I sent it from."
"The thing with old man Hóngwǔ was your own fault. You tried to buy imperial liquor from a eunuch. And to get it on with him."
Chloe frowned her brow.
"Uh, didn't Eunuchs get their-"
"Yes, Chloe," Dean replied dryly. "But that's never stopped Elli before."
Chloe turned slightly pink and an awkward silence followed.
"Dean, who is this Li anyway?" whispered Chloe then.
"I don't know," Dean admitted. "Elli always goes roaming when I'm not looking. Usually I just get called in to clean up something gross."
Chloe bit her lips….
Then the guard returned.
"You can come in," he said grimly.
"What did she say?" asked Elli.
"Excuse my choice of words, but she literally said 'Holy shit, did it have to be her?!'."
Elli turned to her companions, beaming.
"I told you guys, she knows me."
Scholar Hé, an old man whose bald head was hidden under a black, trapezoidal hat, looked with a level-headed face at the empty aquarium. One could not see it through his loose black uniform with white trim, but the researcher of the Abnormality Institute of the Empire of China was aghast and quivering with anger. With him in the room was his servant Min and the two soldiers Zhèng and Wu. Min was a young petite woman in a plain servant's costume, who watched the whole thing with the indifference characteristic of servants. Zhèng, who to his shame was noticeably shorter than Min, was probably already expecting to be fired for failing to guard this creature by the look on his face. Wu, an in Hé's opinion intellectually challenged giant, looked at the glass box which was empty except for the water and sand, apparently still trying to determine what was missing in the first place. Presumably, he had been admitted to the Abnormality Institute only through the influence of some powerful acquaintance….
The glass case rested on a heavy table, next to it stood an operating table with all the cutlery that belonged to it. Otherwise, the gray room was empty except for a bucket of water.
He placed himself before his guards with his arms folded under his wide sleeves. In his right hand, not visible from the outside, he held a golf ball-sized jade bead, a small trophy from his work. It could hold everything in equilibrium, perfectly balanced. Hé already noticed how even his anger began to subside very slowly, and his state of mind matched his expression.
"So, Zhèng, explain how anyone could pass through the only entrance this room has…" the scholar said with the composure of a Buddha. "While you and Wu were on duty…"
"Uh, my lord, the room also has windows," the guard noted in his rasping voice. "We're on the second floor here, is it possible that someone outside climbed up the wall and came through the window?"
Yeah, just squirm out like you always do, you little rat, Hé thought to himself. Ever since he was hired, this eel had been trying to reach as pleasant a post as possible. But not on his watch.
"None of the windows have been smashed, and you can't open them wide enough to climb through. Especially not from the outside. You two have failed in your only task."
Hé bethought himself. Of the rest of the Abnormality Institute, none knew about this little…. project. So he couldn't just send people out to look for the thing. Although, maybe he could just get a new one. And shake a few millstones off his neck in the process….
A good idea came to his mind…
"But lucky for us, Zhèng and Wu, I want to be gracious again," he said with that thought in mind. "Provided you two recapture the animal."
Zhèng licked his lips uncertainly.
"Uh, sir, you know that this being-"
"I know it, and I don't care, Zhèng," Hé interrupted him. "Either it comes back or you go. Or be carried away, if I can arrange it. We understand each other?"
Zhèng turned white as a sheet and nodded stiffly.
"Good," Hé said. "Come, Min, let's leave the two gentlemen alone to come up with a plan.
The servant nodded with her head bowed, and they both left the room.
Zhèng and Wu were alone. The little man waited briefly until the footsteps had faded away, then a little longer, until this unspeakable balance was also gone, which accompanied the scholar at every turn and smothered emotions as if with a pillow, wherever he was.
Then he exploded.
"By the gods, Wu, what have you gotten us into!"
"Uh, why?" Wu asked.
"It could only have happened while I was gone for a pee. Who did you let in?"
"No one," the tall one replied.
Zhèng knew he was lying. Had probably been bribed with something to eat. Or a nice smile, if it had been a woman.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Wu.
"We?" growled Zhèng strained before relaxing. "We, Wu, see about recapturing this thing. It usually lives in the water, it can't be far yet.
"But where do we look for it?" asked Wu.
"Anywhere this bugger might be. Use your head."
The interior of the house was ornately decorated with vases, flowers and Chinese paintings. Chloe looked around curiously, while Dean regarded the brightly polished wooden floor with an appreciative glance.
Meanwhile, a servant showed them around the premises.
A magnificent garden stretched out in the courtyard. A woman in a red robe and artfully pinned-up hair was kneeling on the veranda when Elli and her entourage entered.
The woman stood up and gave Elli a mild smile. Chloe saw that she must have once been a true beauty. However, the ravages of time were beginning to show on her. The first wrinkles had dug into her face and she thought she could make out a gray hair or two in the deep black of her hair.
"Mistress, I bring the visitors," the servant announced, bowing.
"Thank you," Mang replied in a voice that must have been music in the ears of men. "Please leave us and tell the kitchen to prepare some food."
The servant bowed wordlessly and left.
"Chloe, Dean, this is Li Mang," Elli introduced her. "One of the concubines of His Majesty Wanli, the reigning Emperor of China."
"Your manners are much better than last time, Elli," Mang commented with amusement. "I was afraid you'd burp in the presence of the servants. You should travel with company more often, I think."
"The effect is minimal, m' Lady," Dean remarked dryly.
Mang waved it off.
"Never mind the honorifics, we're among ourselves here. Let me look at you, Elli. It's been quite a long time."
She took a good look at Elli and frowned in confusion.
"Good heavens, you haven't aged a day," she said with unhealthy-sounding awe. "Actually, I had assumed it was just drivel told by our religion, but now I see that you are indeed an immortal."
She knelt down in front of Elli.
Elli grimaced involuntarily for a moment and gave Dean and Chloe a look that said "Just play along."
"Uh, yes, Li, however it's nonetheless been many years for me since we last met. I may be an immortal, but I am still nothing more than an ordinary woman."
Mang stood back up, somewhat confused, seemed to think for a moment, and then leaned in close to Elli.
"If you could give me some tips on slow aging, I'd appreciate it," she whispered.
"I should have some skin cream in my cupboard," Elli murmured back.
It occurred to Chloe that she had never asked Elli her age. Or about Dean's. She put off such inquiries until later. What concerned her more was Mang's office.
"Do take a seat," the concubine asked in an emphatically friendly manner.
Everyone obediently knelt down. For Chloe, however, as a European, this posture was extremely awkward. Mang seemed to notice.
"Hmm, you don't seem to be used to it. You'd best sit down in whatever way seems comfortable to you. You have such a lovely daughter, Elli."
Again, Elli made an involuntary grimace as Chloe sat down in relief.
"Chloe's not my daughter, Li. I picked her up."
"Oh, does that mean that fine gentleman there is still available?" the concubine asked, looking at Dean.
"You would have less fun with me than you imagine, Mrs. Mang," Dean replied forthcoming.
"Can confirm," Elli added sullenly.
"Can I ask you a question?" Chloe inquired.
"Sure thing," Mang replied with a smile.
"As a concubine, is it even permissible to take another man?"
Mang waved her hand again.
"Wanli has chosen new favorites over the years. That's why I can travel to Macau so freely right now. For government business, of course. He'd probably behead me if he heard anything like that, but I have the necessary connections to prevent such a thing in case of emergency."
"Government affairs?" Chloe verified.
"In China, eunuchs and concubines can gain and wield tremendous influence, Chloe," Elli explained.
Apologetically, she added for Mang, "Chloe is from a faraway land where concubinage is rather disreputable."
Chloe just took that as how it was.
"How did this acquaintance between you actually come about?" asked Dean. "Elli didn't tell us anything about it…"
"She helped me reach my current position," Mang explained. "Managed to enter the Forbidden City unnoticed, at the time I took that as proof of her immortality. She helped me dig out a ring of soldiers that withheld taxes from the state and food from the people."
"I suppose she made you pay for that."
"Indeed…"
The conversation revolved around Ellis's detour for a while and then gradually drifted off. In between, stuffed dumplings were brought. Chloe excused herself after a while and decided to explore the garden with trail provisions. It was a real work of art. Flowers she had never seen before were blooming everywhere, in a wide variety of colors. Huge ferns, grasses, and alien-looking trees also made the garden perfect for playing hide-and-seek in.
Chloe found a small bench that had been placed so that sitting down one could look at a pond full of colorful water lilies.
Chloe sat down and bit into her dumpling, lost in thought.
Her hearing registered a soft rustling sound, but decided to pass the message on to her eyes first, before informing her brain.
Her gaze fell to the floor. Something just disappeared from her peripheral vision and hid behind the bench.
Chloe stood up and peeked behind the seating.
It was a dog. It bore a distant resemblance to a German shepherd, but was larger and fluffier. He stepped slowly backward when he saw Chloe watching him. And drooled.
He seemed hungry.
Chloe looked critically at her dumpling. It was filled with ground meat. Presumably it was not poisonous to dogs.
She held it out to the animal.
The dog eyed the meal from several angles, sniffed it, and finally licked it out of Chloe's hand. She tickled him behind the ears while he chewed.
Then a strange thing happened.
Chloe's jaw dropped. That was all she was capable of before she was thrown to the floor.

Jurgen Klopp: Liverpool on wrong end of VAR in half our games this season
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his side have been on the wrong end of VAR decisions in half their Premier League matches this season.
The defending champions came from behind to beat Sheffield United 2-1 after going behind to another contentious ruling.
Just seven days after the Reds wrote to the Premier League for an explanation of two referrals by David Coote in the Merseyside derby, the video assistant – this time Andre Marriner – found himself in the spotlight again.
He upgraded Fabinho's tackle on Oli McBurnie from a free-kick to a penalty despite the Brazil international appearing to win the ball right on the edge of the area – something it is understood the VAR official elected not to check – and Sander Berge did the rest to put the Blades ahead.
However, goals from Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota extended Liverpool's unbeaten home league run to 62 matches, one short of equalling the club record between 1978 and 1981, as they moved second on goal difference.
Asked for his view on the Fabinho tackle, Klopp said: "No foul.
It is now the sixth game in the season and in three of them we are on the wrong end of this kind of decision.
"It is not that we want to have an advantage, we just don't want to have any disadvantages.
"The penalty we conceded gave Sheffield a proper boost. It was good until then but we lost a bit of patience, not exactly what we wanted to do.
Jurgen Klopp does not think Fabinho's challenge on Oli McBurnie was not a foul (Stu Forster/PA)
"Then we scored a goal in the best attack, half-time we adjusted a few things, started well in the second, scored a second goal, scored another one (Mohamed Salah had an effort ruled out) – I don't know whether it was offside or not, and Mo had another incredible chance, super play from him."
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder felt there was nothing wrong with the VAR decision and believed his team could have had a couple more penalties.
It was why the Blades were so disappointed not to have taken anything from the game having done so well.
We're not feeling sorry for ourselves, there are no white flags going up. It is ruthless and cruel this division and it is hard one to take tonight
Chris Wilder
"I thought it was (a penalty)," he said.
"I've been informed there might have been another couple as well. I thought their reaction to the challenge was quite telling.
"The performance was good, it had to be to come here and get an opportunity to get a result and I thought we had opportunities to get a result.
Chris Wilder's men could not hold onto their early lead at Anfield (Michael Steele/PA)
"There is lots of disappointment in our dressing room. We got on the bus believing we could get a result and we get back on the bus disappointed we haven't got that.
"To be involved in a tight game I think my assessment is not far off.
"They had more possession, more control but I didn't think it was one-way traffic and that is the disappointing aspect from tonight.
"But we're not feeling sorry for ourselves, there are no white flags going up. It is ruthless and cruel this division and it is hard one to take tonight."

Let's take them one at a time, shall we?
This may deserve it's own post, but I've found that, when meeting other gamers, my desire or lack of desire to play with them comes down to how well they understand this. Next time you meet someone who plays role playing games, ask that person about his or her character. If the response is a bunch of game statistics, like "he's a 12th level barbarian with a war ax of +6 badassary" and nothing else, than that player probably doesn't understand this concept, and by extension probably doesn't get the "role play" part of role playing. On the other hand, if you get a description of the character's personality, back history, goals and relationships, maybe even an anecdote of an awesome thing that happened in game without exclusively mentioning statistics, (in other words, you get a response that you don't need to be a veteran gamer to understand) ask that player if there's an opening in his or her group, or if he or she wants to join yours, because that person gets it.
One of the biggest things that separates role playing games from other kinds of games is the purpose of the rules. In most other kinds of games, board games and card games in particular, the rules are the game, and everything else, from the artwork to the game pieces, even story elements for those games that have them, just adds flavor. Because of this, if you change the rules, you're playing a different game. All those different themed versions of Monopoly are the same game with a different paint job. If you actually changed the rules of Monopoly, you change how the game is played, and possibly what the goals are, thus changing the game itself. A great example is the Free Parking rule. Not everyone realizes this, but that rule that landing on the Free Parking space gives you all the money left in the middle of the board is a house rule. Go ahead, check the instructions that came with the game; the last time I did that they went out of their way to basically say "No, that is not how you play Monopoly". Free Parking is just that, a place where, if you stop moving there (park) you don't have to worry about paying rent to anybody (free). This house rule changes the nature of the game by adding a new goal (landing on Free Parking as often as possible) which actually subverts the original goal of the game (acquire as much property as possible, which necessitates landing somewhere that isn't Free Parking).
On the other hand, in a role playing game, the rules facilitate the game, without being the actual point of the game. Role playing games are an exercise in group storytelling. Following the rules are not how you play the game, nor is that how you "win". You play the game by creating a fictional character, throwing him into a fictional world where he will make choices that will interact with, and inevitably impact, an unfolding storyline, and you "win" by seeing the plot through to the end, whatever it ends up being. The rules just establish the details of how those choices play out. It's because of this that role playing games can go through regular revisions to the rules, sometimes drastically changing them, and still be the same game. D&D is D&D whatever edition I'm playing. It doesn't matter if my Wizard has to prepare each use of the magic missile spell he plans to cast today (as in 3rd edition) or if he can cast it once each encounter (as in 4th edition), the point is he's a scholar of arcane spell casting and can shoot magical balls of pain out of his fingers.
A lot of times the importance of game mechanics is placed on fairness and game balance. While I agree that these are important things to keep in mind, I think the real importance of the rules is immersion, which is important anytime you're telling a story, regardless of medium. Our characters, and the storyline they're experiencing, exist in a fictional world which, like the real world, has it's own physical laws, determining what's possible or impossible, and how things work. These physical laws are often reflected by game mechanics. Let me give you an example of what I mean: In the real world, we know that a falling object accelerates towards the ground at a rate of (roughly) ten feet per second every second. Therefore, if you fell of off a 5 story building, which would be around 50 feet high, a person better at math than I am could calculate how fast you were moving when you hit the ground, and how long it would take you to get there. In a roll playing game, if your character fell 50 feet, we would have a mechanic for determining how much damage he suffered; the mechanic varies from system to system but I don't think I've ever seen a role playing game that didn't account for this. Granted, these are methods for determining two different things (rate of acceleration vs. degree of injury) but they both serve as an effective means of quantifying the phenomenon we call gravity in their prospective worlds. See? Physics explained via game mechanics.
Now, because the rules aren't the most important thing, sometimes a GM will decide to violate the fictional physics of this fictional world to tell a better story. This happens in many different mediums of narrative storytelling, but when it's not done right it makes the story worse, not better. The medium that makes the best comparison is video games, because, like in role playing games, the rules of the world are established via game mechanics. Many video games have items which restore health or bring back dead characters during game play, but those items don't exist in plot advancing cut scenes (e.g. Arith and pheonix down in Final Fantasy VII). Done right, the player doesn't notice the incongruity until later, in hindsight, but when it's done badly you find players yelling at the screen.
In a role playing game, the GM is the "screen" that gets yelled at.
Another example: If "speed" is defined as the distance a character can travel and still take another action in a turn representing six seconds (which seems pretty standard across games), but then you as the GM let a player character (or worse, an NPC) move twice that far and still attack someone without some kind of special ability or power (something which should be physically impossible in this world), then the physical constraints of your world can potentially fall apart. When done well, your players will overlook it because the story developed in an awesome way. But if done poorly, they'll start screaming "PHEONIX DOWN MOTHER FUCKER" at you (or a more relevant version of that), and they won't be silenced by you just saying "I'm the GM so deal with it". Games are entertaining. Role playing games entertain through narrative. Narrative must have immersion to entertain. If the players aren't entertained because their characters' world stops making sense, the GM has failed.
Of course, this isn't a justification for rule lawyering, because concept #1 is still as valid as ever. The point is, there's a time to bend the rules, a time to break them, and a time to cling to them for dear life. I've found that honesty is often the best policy here. When the GM breaks the rules and a player calls her out on it, if the GM just says "yeah I know, I'm doing this for a reason", most players will accept that and move on. Another best practice is to keep the digression from the normal rules as small as possible; slight tweaks work better than reality shattering changes.
By the way, this is another point that deserves it's own post, but the importance of game mechanics is also vitally important if you're developing a game. No, I've never developed a game, but I have played games that were broken because the developers took the system too seriously or not seriously enough, usually the latter. I'm looking at you, Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space! Not cool to make a Doctor Who thing I hate!!
Yeah, that definitely deserves it's own post.

every time the response is with ["template_id"]=>int(0)
I tried with php script and directly from "Developer Playground"... I got the same response.
Seems it's not possible to set the template id when you create a new campaign.
If I setup template_id: '37125' I receive this error:

template_id must to be integer

I tried with intval(37125)....nothing, I got the same ["template_id"]=>int(0) response.
Can somebody help me with this issue?

A: You have to use the "Set campaign content" option

2017 marked the second year of the strong blond oaked beer CORNET in Belgian retail. Would we be able to continue the growth or face a decline in year 2 and like 80% of all innovation ultimately being discontinued? The business strategy remained the same as the successful one in 2016, i.e. move from a volume to a value strategy.


I, Henry Senkowski (Semkiv), was bron on May 23, 1924 in the village of Hermakivka in western Ukraine. During the Second World War the NKVD began to transport their wives and children to their homes. At that time they also took individuals who owned horses for their own personal needs. As a result, I was one such individual that was taken by the NKVD.
I was taken to the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine. When I arrived there, I heard that if there would be no room on the train in the city station, that I would be transported to the city of Vinnytsia, Ukraine. At the time that I heard this, German warplanes appeared and began to bombard the station and the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi. During the bombardment, I fled to my brother in the village of Ivane-Puste, Ukraine.
I remained with my brother for 7-8 days until the German army appeared in the village. While I was with my brother, the NKVD came to my village (Hermakivka) and searched for me, and checked for my wagon and horses. They came two times and questioned my mother and left. This incident thus ended in such a fashion. To the best of my knowledge, the individuals that were taken by the NKVD in Kamianets-Podilskyi did not return and were never heard of again.
The German army, when they arrived gave individuals two choices, to go to work in Germany or to join an SS division. I decided to go to work in Germany, this was approximately in 1942. In Germany I was sent to an area near Vicksburg, Germany. Here I worked on a farm for approximately one year. After that time I was transfered to work in the Romika shoe factory until August 1944, which coincided with the Normandy invasion in June of that year. The last few months of the war I worked as a spent artillery gatherer in various locations in Germany. I did this until March 15, 1945. Once the US army took control of Germany, I went to work in the US army, as an artillery feeder, as well as a cook.
In July of 1945 I was placed in a displaced persons camp in Trayer, Germany, and later in Deze, Germany. WHile I was in Trayer, the United States government allowed Russians to search for Ukrainians and Russians for the purpose of repatriating those individuals back to the Soviet Union. Many individuals chose to commit suicide rather than return to the Soviet Union. Later I learned that 16 of my former classmates were shot by the Russians upon their return to Ukraine.
In order to avoid the same fate, I changed my name from Semkiw to my present name of Senkowski. In this manner I was able to avoid the fate that befell my classmates. When I applied for entry to America, I advised the vice-counsel in Rostad, of my predicament. At the time of my birth Hermakivka was part of Poland, so he said that in the eyes of the United States I was born in Poland.
Thereafter I was called before the CIA in Baden-Baden, Germany and told the same information to the agent there. As far as I understood, and was relayed to me by a German language translator, the country of my birth was considered to be Poland.
The forgoing has been prepared to provide the reader with a background of information to understand why I changed my name and what circumstances gave rise to this change. As set forth in the enclosed letter, perhaps the investigation and phone calls that I have received are in some way related to the foregoing information. The name change itself was for the purpose of avoiding forced repatriation to the Soviet Union, and not for any criminal or espionage based purpose.
I have drafted this letter to this agency to inquire whether this agency or any other agency in the United States government has in any way caused my person to be investigated for any reason in the past and if such investigation continues to this time. I will try to set forth my reasons for my belief that I have been investigated.
In 1979, I attended the funeral of my relative in Fort Williams, Canada. Shortly thereafter I began to receive telephone calls during which time the caller failed to indentify himself and hung up the phone.
I was at one time the owner of a business located at 2931 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago, Illinois known as Senkowski Home Bakery. During the course of the time that I was the owner I was visited by agents of the United States government, namely a Mary F. Harkenrider and Mr. Jeff Rogers, Assistant US attorneys regarding my business. At no time was I aver cited for any wrong doing by these individuals.
In 1988 I retired to Phoenix, Arizona area and resided at 2223 E. Shea Blvd., Phoenix, Arizona 85028. During the time that I resided in Arizona I continued to receive phone calls asking for a Mr. Pico, from someone at: Spragins Associates, 847 N. Beeline Highway, Paxson, Arizona 85541, (602) 870-4280. When I would return the phone calls, I was advised that there was no one there who needed to speak to me. During my entire stay in Arizona, I received numerous phone calls and felt that I was being observed.
I returned to the Chicago area in June of 1994 and the phone calls continued, again asking for Mr. Pico. However, when the calls were returned, no person was present or acknowledged that a phone call was made. As late as April 11, 1996, I again received a phone call asking for a Mr. Pico. When I attempted to inquire about the phone call, the caller hung up the phone.
My request to this agency is that if I am in any way being investigated, that I be so advised and given an opportunity to meet with an officer of the agency in question and provide the agency with any information they require. I would only like to know if my beliefs are warranted or if I should disregard what I believe to be positive signs of investigation.
Wow!! I keep saying, "closer than you think," and now look.
I'm not quite clear on this ... is Henry (the letter writer) the same grandfather you were helping find stuff? Did you get to talk to him about it, or do you plan to?
I'm fascinated to know whether the letter to the FBI was ever answered, or even acknowledged.
It's also interesting that all this began in the late 1970s ... I associate investigations of this type with Hoover's FBI (Hoover died 1972), and especially not with Webster's (became FBI director 1978). So that's strange too, and perhaps suggests a very concrete operation with warrants and so on.
Yeah I thought you would notice the late 70's seeming start date of the investigation. After talking to my mom, it seems he was barely in this country legally. I forget what kind of card he had. He was supposed to report to the big G when he moved, but didn't. We think that sent up red flags (Ukrainian/Pole passing himself as a Pole, entered the country through Canada, moving around a bit).

One of my favorite movies of all time is The Wizard of Oz.
The beautiful sets and endearing characters transport viewers into a wonderful world of fantasy and magic.
What I love most about the movie is the life lessons that are embedded in the storyline and the characters. Subtle metaphors are scattered throughout the movie, which all converge into a message of hope and inspiration.
Dorothy sets out into the unknown to find the great Emerald City of Oz (her purpose). The only thing that she has to help her on her journey down the yellow brick road (her life path) is her ruby red slippers (her inner strength and wisdom).
Along the way, she meets the Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Lion (her friends/partners), who decide to accompany her in her quest to find Oz. Even though she has all the power within her, she knew that she needed the support of her new friends to help her find her way.
Just like Dorothy, we too have all the power within us to navigate life's journey and reach our highest potential. Yet no matter how talented, skilled or attractive we are, we cannot go it alone.
Success is not a one-man journey – each and every one of us needs help to reach our own "Emerald City". Yet many people still harbor misconceptions that seeking help from others is a sign of weakness or inadequacy.
Self-confident individuals, however, aren't ashamed of reaching out to others for support, when they need it. They know that partnering is an essential strategy for success. Having the right people around you can provide the fuel to skyrocket your efforts and see you through challenges.
If you look at any successful person, in any field of life – business, entertainment, sports, etc. – you will always find that they are backed up by a great team who help them perform and look their best.
An athlete will have a coach, trainer, dietitian and physiotherapist.
A businessman will have an accountant, assistant, sales team, advisors and lawyers.
An actor will have an acting coach, stylist, a trainer, beauticians and dietitian.
Now you may be thinking, "I can't afford to hire your own entourage!" The good news is that you don't have to. All you need is a group of trustworthy people who you can turn to in times of need. This group can include friends, family members and service professionals.
Having the right partners can bolster your success and help you make leaps and bounds in your area of focus. The wrong partners, however, can drain you and bring you down.
The unfortunate reality is that there are plenty of amateurs and predators who can harm us and take advantage of us if given a chance.
To prevent this from happening, we need to have a clear idea of what we are seeking, and have a well-thought-out selection process, which can help us make the best choice.
1. Identify the areas of your life where you need support: Take a look at your current priorities – are there blocks or challenges that are preventing you from moving forward? If so, those are the places where partnering with others will help you make progress.
2. Decide how much money you're willing to invest: There are professionals who charge millions of dollars for their services, and there some who charge hundreds. Which one you hire will depend on your financial capabilities. You could also get help for free by joining support groups, bartering your services, or seeking advice from friends, relatives or co-workers.
3. Figure out what kind of support you're most responsive to: Some people like to work with partners who have a tough and tell-it-like-it-is approach. Others prefer partners who are diplomatic, nurturing and warm. Some prefer a combination of both. Find out which style brings out the best in you and seek partners who mirror that.
4. Network and research in a big way: To find the right partners, you need to seek credible sources such as word-of-mouth or written material. In the age of the Internet, it's much easier to get this information. Do your due diligence of getting as much information as possible before making any decisions.
5. Create a reliable screening process when evaluating others: When evaluating possible candidates, make sure that you consult a combination of two things: the information that you have about them from your research, and more importantly, your gut instinct. Pay attention to any feelings you may have about them because it comes from a deeper and instinctive part of you that is filled with wisdom.
6. Let go of anyone who is bringing you down: In addition to sowing seeds for creating a great team, you need to remove the weeds in the soil. Those weeds include anyone who is draining you and trying to bring you down. Dr. Phil McGraw calls these people "baiters" – individuals who will sabotage your success for their personal gain. Identify these people and either let go of them or build boundaries.
No matter how many partners or friends you assemble, you want the end result to be a harmonious flow between each one. With clear objectives, a strong sense of purpose, and a great team, you can become the perfect maestro, capable of orchestrating melodious symphonies.
Question for you: In which areas of your life do you need help? What kind of partnerships will help you progress in those areas?

Emil Forsberg's agent has hit out at the German FA (DFB) after the Sweden international was banned for three matches after his sending off during RB Leipzig's 5-2 defeat to Hoffenheim.
The punishment means the midfielder's season is over, with agent Hasan Cetinkaya telling Bild it was "nothing but a scandal" and calling it "an attack" on his client.
"Emil was fouled and provoked and didn't even fully hit his opponent," he said.
"The verdict is an attack on RB and Emil. A Bayern Munich player would have never been forced to go through that."
Bild also reported that Leipzig could be willing to sell Forsberg in the summer if a club made an offer in excess of €40 million.
Forsberg, a reported Arsenal target in January, did little to end rumours that he will be leaving by posting "thanks for everything" on Twitter.
Following an outstanding first Bundesliga campaign last season, Forsberg and Leipzig have not enjoyed the same success this season and are sixth in the table with three matches remaining.

CA Bill Would Ban Reversion Therapy for Kids
May 7, 2012 by Ed Brayton
CA Bill Would Ban Reversion Therapy for Kids May 7, 2012 Ed Brayton
California is considering a new bill that would make it illegal to send a child under the age of 18 to ex-gay reversion therapy. It would also require that anyone seeking such therapy to be given a disclaimer form that says:
Having a lesbian, gay, or bisexual sexual orientation is not a mental disorder. There is no scientific evidence that any types of therapies are effective in changing a person's sexual orientation. Sexual orientation change efforts can be harmful. The risks include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behavior.
Medical and mental health associations that oppose the use of sexual orientation change efforts include the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the National Association of Social Workers, the American Counseling Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
Unsurprisingly, the religious right is freaking out over it:
Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), one of several groups who testified against the bill last week, said the bill's anti-conservative bias was extreme even by California's standards.
"I can honestly say this is one of the most outrageous, speech-chilling bills we have ever seen in California – and that's saying a lot," said Dacus, who told LifeSiteNews.com that the bill is "a child's welfare issue."
Dacus pointed out that clinical evidence has shown that sexual molestation and other trauma at an early age can lead to sexual confusion. "To deprive these young people of quality psychiatric counseling and therapy is a gross and outrageous violation against humanity," he said.
Yes, it is a child's welfare issue. And it's the welfare of gay children that is at stake when they are sent to be "cured" of homosexuality by bigoted parents. I don't know if this bill is the right way to go about helping the situation, but I do know the bigots are wrong about it.

Annakut Mahotsav held at Swaminarayan temple, first time since Corona
Pradipta Singh November 5, 2021 Tagged national
Annakut Festival
Navsari, November 5: For the first time since Corona, Annakut Mahotsav was held at Swaminarayan temple with a discount, more than 350 dishes were served. Many Haribhaktas darshan along with GPSC chairman Dinesh Dasa also took advantage of the darshan.
In 2019, the old Swaminarayan temple adjacent to the Navsari highway was renovated. This magnificent temple, similar to the dream of Sarvesarva Pramukhswami of BAPS, was inaugurated by the successor Mahant Swami after visiting his Dham. Since then, this magnificent temple has become a center of attraction in the whole of South Gujarat. In which more than 350 dishes were offered to the Lord. In which a large number of Haribhaktas and politicians including saints took advantage of Thakorji's vision.
Dinesh Dasa, a native of Navsari and a member of the GPSC board, reached the temple early in the morning and took advantage of the darshan. At the same time, politicians including MLA Piyush Desai, district BJP president, Ashok Dhorjia also started the new year with Aarti.
Sant Purushottam Charan Swami of Navsari BAPS Temple said that about 350 materials were used in Annakut in which volunteers and Haribhaktas worked tirelessly to make Annakut glorious and attractive. A large number of Haribhaktas were seen at the Swaminarayan temple, while Sejal Patel, a devotee of the BAPS Swaminarayan sampraday said the lockdown had been going on since the temple was built. Due to which darshan in the temple was not possible for 2 years. But when the government has given permission this year, we are seeing an atmosphere of happiness in all Haribhaktas. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. We are very happy to see the food of God.

Voynich manuscript finally cracked?
Mysterious text from the Voynich codex, a brightly illustrated ancient manuscript, may finally have been deciphered, according to a new study from computer scientists in Canada.
For decades codebreakers have poured over the 240-page relict, from which pages have been carbon dated back to the early 1400s. It has been suggested that the manuscript, which is housed at the Beinecke Library at Yale University and contains brightly colored images of plants and an unknown language, is a medieval medical journal for women.
But the purpose of, or information within, the Voynich codex has never been agreed upon by researchers and academics – despite the best efforts of WWII enigma code breakers in Britain. Named after Wilfrid Voynich, the man who brought the text to wider knowledge in the early 20th century, the codex could also be an elaborate hoax, as suggested by Keele University linguist Gordon Rugg.
However, now Greg Kondrak from the University of Alberta claims to have made strides in deciphering the seemingly lost language contained within the codex pages, reported CBC News.
According to the computer science professor, the first sentence of the manuscript translates roughly as: "She made recommendations to the priest, man of the house and me and people."
Kondrak and his co-researcher Bradley Hauer studied the manuscript against 380 different language translations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Using several experimental deciphering computer algorithms, the duo say they suspect the key to cracking the mysterious vellum manuscript lies tantalizingly close to Hebrew.
"[T]he language is a plausible candidate on historical grounds, being widely-used for writing in the Middle Ages. In fact, a number of cipher techniques, including anagramming, can be traced to the Jewish Cabala," a research paper by Hauer states.
Other individual words deciphered within the text include 'farmer,' 'light,' 'air,' and 'fire'.
"The application of our methods to the Voynich manuscript suggests that it may represent Hebrew, or another abjad script, with the letters rearranged to follow a fixed order," the study concludes.

In an untold chapter of the AIDS epidemic, scores of unclaimed bodies were buried in a remote spot on Hart Island. How many exactly remains unclear.
The bodies reached Hart Island on a ferry like all the others, in spare wooden boxes and bound for ignominious mass interment off the coast of the Bronx where New York City buries its unclaimed dead by the hundreds in long, shallow trenches.
But when these 17 bodies arrived in 1985, the island's hardened crews, used to burying dozens of indigent people per week, recoiled. These were different. They had died from a widely feared nascent disease called AIDS, an illness that at the time had a skyrocketing death toll.
The bodies were kept out of the trenches and instead quarantined in a remote spot on the island's southernmost tip, buried deep in individual graves.
"This was a scary time and people were avoiding AIDS patients like the plague," recalled Eugene Ruppert, 69, who retired as a captain with New York City's Department of Correction, which oversees burials on Hart Island.
The island would go on to receive scores, if not hundreds, of people who died during the AIDS epidemic, which during the 1980s and 1990s killed more than 100,000 people in New York, about a quarter of AIDS deaths nationwide during the same period.
Trying to pin down the precise number of those with AIDS buried on Hart Island is difficult. A longstanding stigma about the island and criticism that the burial practices are crude and outdated have made city officials reluctant to provide many details. Officials at several city agencies involved in the burials refused interview requests to discuss the issue and insisted that no data or any other information was available on AIDS burials.
But piecing together an estimate is possible by surveying the many hospitals that treated AIDS patients during the epidemic and sent bodies to potter's field. By that accounting, the number of AIDS burials on Hart Island could reach into the thousands, making it perhaps the single largest burial ground in the country for people with AIDS.
It is an untold chapter of the AIDS crisis, but in recent years some of the island's secrets have started to tumble out largely because of the work of a longtime activist whose legal pressure has wrested information from the city, giving relatives of people with AIDS answers they have long sought.
One of them, Elsie Soto, 35, of the Bronx, learned recently that her father, Norbert Soto, who died in 1993 from AIDS, is buried on the island.
It was a double indignity to die from such a stigmatized disease and then be buried in anonymity in a mass grave, said Ms. Soto, who visited the island in April on one of the monthly trips that the Correction Department now offers relatives. She recalled being escorted by a correction officer to a broken marker at a mass grave.
By 1987, AIDS was killing thousands of New Yorkers a year, with spikes to more than 8,000 fatalities annually in the mid-1990s before deaths declined as new treatments became available.
It was a time when AIDS wards were crowded with patients, and medical personnel focused on treating the living, leaving the fate of unclaimed bodies largely unobserved and little documented.
Even among AIDS experts and doctors, nurses, hospital administrators and advocates with key roles during the epidemic, not much is known about AIDS victims on the island. Who were they? And how did they wind up there?
"Part of the history of the AIDS epidemic is buried on Hart Island, and it's the unknown part," said Melinda Hunt, the longtime advocate who has battled the city for information and believes that the island should be open to the public.
The stigma and lifestyle associated with AIDS left many patients — whether young, gay or poor intravenous drug users — prone to being estranged from loved ones.
Private burials were difficult to arrange because many funeral directors either refused to handle AIDS corpses or charged higher fees.
She and other relatives of those with AIDS have sought help from Ms. Hunt, a visual artist who runs The Hart Island Project, which operates an interactive searchable database using burial data obtained through Freedom of Information requests.
Correction Department officials said that, like other cemetery operators, they were not privy to causes of death and did not have a tally for AIDS burials on Hart Island.
Officials with three city agencies involved with AIDS patients — the Health Department, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, and NYC Health + Hospitals — said they had no information available that could shed light on the issue.
Barbara Butcher, a longtime chief of staff for the city's medical examiner before retiring in 2015, said she was told about individual AIDS burials during a visit to Hart Island during the 1990s.
Mr. Ruppert, who managed burials on the island during the 1990s, said the early panic over AIDS frightened his burial crews, which included correction officers supervising Rikers Island jail inmates working as gravediggers.
Even though some of those with AIDS had been dead for weeks or even months, the crews still feared being infected by bodily fluids.
So the medical examiner sent the corpses in body bags to prevent leakage and inmates wore protective jumpsuits that were disposed of after each burial, Mr. Ruppert said.
The bodies were buried "as far as we could go with the backhoe," Mr. Ruppert said.
After it became clear that the cadavers were not contagious, AIDS bodies became part of the mass burials.
As a result, the initial 17 AIDS burials, each with its own tiny concrete marker bearing a number, are perhaps the only individually marked graves among the estimated 1 million bodies interred on the island.
The number of burials annually on Hart Island do not align neatly with AIDS deaths from year to year during the epidemic. But they do track the increase in the late 1980s as well as the decrease after 1995.
One clue to AIDS burials comes from the Hart Island burial records, which the Department of Correction began making public in 2013 as a searchable list on its website.
A New York Times examination of the records, which includes the names of individual hospitals from where bodies came but not causes of death, showed that many hospitals with sizable AIDS wards sent hundreds of patients to Hart Island during the epidemic. Some sent well over 1,000.
From 1980 through 2000, there were about 1,500 bodies buried on Hart Island from Bellevue Hospital Center, which had the city's largest AIDS treatment center. Another roughly 1,750 bodies came from St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital and nearly 1,500 from Harlem Hospital Center, both of which also had large AIDS wards.
During the same period, nearly 1,000 bodies arrived from St. Vincent's Hospital, whose AIDS ward gained recognition as the epicenter of the medical fight against AIDS. Another 455 came from St. Clare's Hospital in Manhattan, another major AIDS treatment center.
Hart Island burials also came in smaller numbers, like the 27 from Rivington House, a nursing home in Manhattan exclusively for AIDS patients, and 48 from Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center in Manhattan, which had a busy AIDS ward during the epidemic.
Dr. Stephen W. Nicholas, who ran several pediatric AIDS units during the epidemic, recalled treating so-called AIDS babies in the mid-1980s at Harlem Hospital, many of whose mothers were often homeless drug addicts dying from AIDS.
He remembered asking a nurse about burial arrangements for one early patient.
"She said, 'Oh no, these babies go to potter's field,'" said Dr. Nicholas, now a dean at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University.
"It dawned on me that many of these kids didn't have anyplace to go for a decent burial," he said.
Dr. Nicholas said he saw images taken by a photographer, Claire Yaffa, of babies being buried on Hart Island. "It made me sick to see these crates stacked up and bulldozers just covering them over," said Dr. Nicholas, who began pushing hospital administrators to coordinate with charity groups to arrange burials for his patients.
Robert Ruggiero, who owned a Bronx funeral home that was one of the first in New York willing to embalm AIDS cadavers, said making burial arrangements often involved calling the estranged families of young gay men who had come to New York for acceptance.
In many cases, relatives have no idea that a loved one is buried on Hart Island. Paul Alladice, an actor from Harlem who had a role in the 1969 film "Putney Swope," died of AIDS at Saint Luke's Hospital in 1997. After years of searching and wondering, his daughter, Fahja Alladice, and his brother, Darryl Alladice, finally found his body recently with the help of a forensics consultant they hired.
Ms. Humphreys, whose birth name was Richard, died in 1990 at St Clare's Hospital, which specialized in treating AIDS patients at the time, though Ms. Humphreys' official cause of death is unknown.
Ms. Hunt said she learned about the burial ground for the first 17 AIDS patients while perusing an obscure infrastructure report conducted by a sanitation consultant. After hiring a drone operator recently to videotape the island, she was able to locate the tiny grave markers in the footage.
Ms. Hunt said the site deserves its own memorial.
The markers include what Ms. Hunt calls the "tomb of the unknown child," the 1985 grave of the first Hart Island burial of a child who died from AIDS.
It reads "SC-B1 1985," or Special Child, Baby 1, 1985.


Stolen yard signs. Strongly worded fliers. Personal attacks.
The season of campaign trickery has reached its usual crescendo as candidates battle before the Nov. 4 voting day. This year, some new twists have added extra intensity to an already competitive election.
At a forum last week in Fort Mill, state House candidate Danny Stacy stunned listeners by launching into a tirade in which he called opponent Dennis Moss "a liar and a coward" for alleged hurtful comments about Stacy's family.
In Rock Hill, state House opponents John King and Marvin Rogers are feuding over the accuracy of an anti-Rogers flier that warns voters "the right-wing Republicans have recruited a black candidate from elsewhere to move into the district."

The Thanksgiving week 60 degree temperatures are making things a little surreal here, including the beginning of Advent which is usually accompanied by our first lake effect snowstorm.
Despite the unusual weather Advent has begun beautifully. Prayer and liturgy this weekend were just wonderful. We even "survived" the first Sunday with the new missal wording! By the way, the new Mass we're using is by Dan Schutte, aka one of the four St. Louis Jesuits of the 1970s and 80s. His new one, "Mass of Christ the Savior," is just as melodic and upbeat, yet reverent, as his others.
Here are some photos of chapel with the Advent environment. Our Advent speakers are here.
If you like online prayer, there will be a section of daily prayer on our new website set to debut December 8th. Meanwhile here's one.

Phacelia is from the Greek, "Phacelus", for "bundle" and refers to the clusters of flower branches.
Phacelia bakeri (Baker's Phacelia)
Boraginaceae (Forget-Me-Not Family)
Subalpine, alpine. Rocky openings, talus. Summer.
Colorado Trail near Stony Pass, July 21, 2011.
This exotic, highly glandular Phacelia is amazingly intricate and ornate with long, exserted filaments and styles and a myriad of glandular hairs. P. bakeri is found from mid-montane elevations to wind-swept tundra.
P. bakeri is quite similar to Phacelia glandulosa below.
Phacelia bakeri was first named Phacelia crenulata by John Torrey in the mid-1800s from a collection made by Sereno Watson; the plant was renamed Phacelia crenulata var. bakeri by Brand in 1913 from a collection made by botanist and entomologist Charles Fuller Baker near Ouray, Colorado in 1901; and finally it was named Phacelia bakeri by J. F. MacBride in 1917. (Click to read more about Charles Baker.)

Phacelia crenulata (Notch-leaf Scorpionweed, Crenulated Phacelia)
Semi-desert. Canyons, openings, sand. Spring.
Corona Arch Trail, April 13, 2005.
Phacelia crenulata varies greatly in the size of the plant and the number and size of flowers. Although Phacelia crenulata is most often 6-14 inches tall, it is commonly 16-24 inches tall. Flower heads can be quite small or luxuriously large. Flower clusters are always in a curling scorpion tail formation and this gives rise to the common name "Scorpionweed", a name shared with a number of other species (some are Boraginaceae, some are in other families). In good spring flowering years, such as 2003, 2005, and 2014, thousands of plants color rocky/sandy flats and slopes in lavender-blue.
More Phacelia crenulata photographs.
The Latin "Cren" ("notches") and "lat" ("wide") refer to the leaf shape.
Phacelia glandulosa variety glandulosa (Glandular Phacelia)
Foothills, montane. Rocky slopes, hillsides. Summer.
Below American Basin, July 28, 2007.
This lovely Phacelia is both sticky and strongly scented from numerous glandular hairs, the tiny bulbous-tipped projections that show on stems and calyces in the photograph immediately below.
Phacelia glandulosa grows to a maximum of fifteen inches tall and typically spreads seven to ten inches wide. Leaves are deeply cut and are both basal and cauline (along the stem). Phacelia glandulosa enjoys open rocky areas where its colors really stand out.
Thomas Nuttall collected this species in 1834 in Wyoming "About Ham's Fork of the Colorado of the West" and named and described it in 1848.

Phacelia howelliana (Howell's Phacelia)
Semi-desert. Shrublands, Pinyon/Juniper woodlands, openings. Spring.
Near Corona/Bow Tie Arches, Utah, April 17, 2014.
Phacelia howelliana is a rare annual found, as the map below indicates, in just a few counties in the Four Corners region. Corollas are blue purple with a white interior throat. The plant can grow to about 10 inches tall on sands and gravels in the high desert. P. howelliana is separated from other Phacelias by a combination of characteristics: its corolla is campanulate, bicolored, and longer than 4 mm; it has simple, hairy, and glandular leaves; its cauline leaves are petiolate; and its height is less than 12 inches.
Duane Atwood, co-author of A Utah Flora) named this species in 1972 from a specimen he collected just north of Bluff, Utah, in 1970. John Thomas Howell (1903-1994) was the Curator of Botany of the California Academy of Sciences from 1949 to 1969. (Click for more biographical information about Howell.)
More Phacelia howelliana photographs.
Phacelia integrifolia variety integrifolia (Gypsum Phacelia)
Semi-desert. Shrublands, grasslands. Spring.
Sand dunes south of the Hogback, New Mexico, April 24, 2007.
Phacelia integrifolia flowers are a most delicate, porcelain-like violet-pink. The plant grows four to twenty inches tall and flowers for many weeks. It typically inhabits dry, sandy soil and dunes.
John Torrey named this species in 1826 from a specimen that Edwin James collected, probably in 1820, on the "banks of the Platte". (Quotation from Intermountain Flora.)
More Phacelia integrifolia photographs.
Phacelia sericea (Silky Phacelia, Purplefringe)
Subalpine, alpine. Meadows, openings, tundra. Summer.
Cross Mountain Trail, July 13, 2005.
Silky Phacelia is a favorite of many wildflower enthusiasts; it is certainly one of my favorites. Flowers are lovely light-to-dark purple with protruding stamens tipped in gold-coated anthers. The plant is usually about ten inches tall but can be eighteen inches. I have even seen it over two feet tall. Phacelia sericea is common in meadows above tree line and on high mountain passes from mid-June through August.
More Phacelia sericea photographs.
Thomas Drummond was the first to collect this lovely plant; he found it in the late 1820s in the northern Rocky Mountains. Graham named the plant Eutoca sericea in 1829 and it was renamed Phacelia sericea by Asa Gray in 1862. "Sericea" is Greek for "silk".

After Chrissie's first trip to India in 2011, she was deeply affected by the number of children she had seen that were living and begging on the streets and in the slums. They didn't go to school, but instead worked and scrounged for a living to help to support their families. It touched her so deeply that she decided to find a small charity that she could raise money for. That charity was The HOPE Foundation (www.thehopefoundation.org.uk) HOPE is a small charity based in Kolkata helping children to have access to education. Chrissie decided to sponsor two children, enabling them to attend school full time, changing their lives forever. Chrissie donates and raises money throughout the year to continue her support for these two children and in 2014 went to Kolkata to visit HOPE Foundation's charity and meet the children being sponsored.
The Hope Foundation
Chrissie also raised money to support the children affected by the dreadful earthquake which struck Nepal in 2015. Funds she raised went towards the building of a new school for the children and emergency shelters and food for those in need. She was told about the charity by friends and mantra musicians, Deva Premal, Miten and Manose (who comes from Kathmandu in Nepal). Chrissie visited Nepal in Autumn 2015 and witnessed first hand the tragic outcome of the earthquake.
