GURPS 101: Stunning and Knockdown and consciousness rolls
GURPS has two broad circumstances where you roll against HT in combat to stay active and effect - avoiding unconsciousness (see General Injury: Lost Hit Points, p. B419) and Stunning and Knockdown, p. B420.
This GURPS 101 looks at these and gives some examples to make it clear how they affect you. They might change your mind about how much HT you need, as well!
Going Unconscious
When your HP reach 0 or below, you must make a HT roll at the start of your next turn or fall unconscious. At -1xHP, you roll at -1, at -2xHP it's -2, down to -4 at -4xHP. At -5xHP, you're dead, so you don't get to roll.
Note that this roll occurs on the turn of the injured person, not when they are injured. In other words, if A attacks C and puts him to 0 HP or below, and then B attacks C and puts him to -1xHP, on C's next turn C rolls once against HT-1 to stay conscious.
Going unconscious in a fight is mostly a clear-cut bad thing; you're out of the fight and at the mercy of the rest of the combatants. On the other hand, if you're very injured it can be better to pass out and give your foes a chance to move on and not keep beating on you. Foes with Bloodlust and animals seeking to devour you, though, taking away that small grace.
"You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up!"
- The Parrot Sketch, Monty Python's Flying Circus
Stunning and Knockdown
Unlike rolls to stay conscious, rolls against Stunning and Knockdown are rolled immediately, along with the injury inflicted.
This can get a little tricky; remember that stunning and knockdown is one roll. If you're stunned, you drop prone (and drop whatever you're holding), and you are stunned.
When to Roll:
Roll for:
- any major wound (injury in a single blow equal to more than HP/2); or
- any crippling injury (see (Effects of Crippling Injury, p. 421); or
- any injury to the head (skull, face, or eye) that causes a shock penalty; or
- any injury to the vitals that causes a shock penalty.
"Causes a shock penalty" effectively means (HP/10, round down) injury. It doesn't matter if you actually suffer shock penalties or not (thanks to High Pain Threshold), you must still roll if the damage is sufficient to have inflicted a penalty. High Pain Threshold does provide a +3 to the roll, and you don't take any shock penalty, but you can still be stunned or knocked out. And since it's possible that you could be knocked unconscious from this roll, Hard to Subdue provides a +1 per level to resist Stunning and Knockdown.*
Major wounds to the face or vitals are a -5, skull and eye major wounds are at -10. Also, it's important to remember at a failure by 5+ causes unconsciousness, not just stunning!
Those under the effects of the Berserk disadvantage are immune to stun; they still roll, however, with a +4, and only a failure by 5+ affects them at all, by knocking them out!* Those with Injury Tolerance that effectively removes some hit locations remove the special penalties for those locations - No Brain means never rolling at a -10 for a major wound to the skull, for example.
When you're stunned, you must Do Nothing and then roll at the end of your turn to recover (per Effects of Stun, p. B420). If you succeed, you are no longer stunned. If you fail, your turn ends and you must do the same on the turn following. (Special 3e alert - the roll used to be at the beginning of the turn, so if you recovered you could also act. This is not true in 4e!)
Example: Hjalmarr has HT 13, HP 20, and High Pain Threshold. His foe stabs him in the face and the vitals with a pair of attacks on a single turn. The stab to the face does 2 HP, just enough to inflict shock. Hjalmarr must immediately roll against HT 13 + 3 (High Pain Threshold) = 16 to stay conscious. He rolls a 12 and makes it. The stab to the vitals inflicts 12 injury, enough for a major wound. Hjalmarr must roll against HT 13 + 3 (High Pain Threshold) -5 (major wound to the vitals) = 11 to avoid stunning. He rolls a 15 - failure by 4. He's stunned and knocked down. Had he rolled a 16+, he'd have been knocked out! Instead he just drops prone, and his axe and shield** tumble from his hands. On his next turn, he must Do Nothing and will roll against his HT (with no special bonuses or penalties) at the end of the turn to recover from stun. He'll be unable to retaliate for at least one second!
So a major wound to the skull or eye is at -10. Even your HT 15 monster with High Pain Threshold rolls is rolling against an 8 to avoid stunning, and on a 13 or higher (failure by 5) you are knocked out. An average person (HT 10) would be rolling against a 0 - you're stunned on any roll and pass out on a 5+. With an injury multiplier of x4, this means even a low amount of penetrating damage to the skull or eye can incapacitate a foe!
Note that
The penalty for staying conscious at -1xHP (below) does not apply to Knockdown and Stunning; while that might make an interesting house rule it's not the RAW.*
* These were confirmed with Reverend Pee Kitty, Assistant GURPS Line Editor
** Clearly a buckler, since you only drop what you are holding.

Good write up! The penalty when striking the Face makes it my go-to whenever it's time to break out the fisticuffs on the table (half penalty at reach C is a wonderful thing).
"Half penalty at reach C is a wonderful thing..." Is that a house rule, or is that in a particular book?
I believe that's only for Grappling a specific location (p. B370, repeated on B400), not for other strikes at range C.
Michael Eversberg II July 14, 2016 at 12:42 PM
You are right, I have mis-remembered. Been a bit since I've looked at melee - I need to brush back up on that...
Peter V. Dell'Orto July 15, 2016 at 8:14 PM
Yes, it's half hit location penalty on grappling rolls.
Martin Leuschen July 14, 2016 at 2:24 PM
I have been guilty of exploiting the vitals side of this. Only -3 to hit, x3 damage, major wound is knockdown roll at -5 is pretty sweet.
There is a reason various variants of "breastplate and helmet" (protect vitals and head) armor sets were so common.
Tangent - in any game with reasonable guns and not-unreasonable armor/powers, this also tends to push ambushes from "you're in big trouble" to "you're doomed."
Snipers scary.
Michael Eversberg II July 14, 2016 at 3:23 PM
Indeed. It's why I'm making sure armor used in the game I'm writing for is up to the best spec it can be.
It's a good "exploit." One thing people often overlook when thinking about knocking out high-HT foes is that the best way to do it is a sudden amount of damage to an important location. Not a bad tactic in general, but high HT means you can't just stick them a few times and wait for them to sag down to the floor later on.
Brian Ronnle July 14, 2016 at 6:20 PM
I have house ruled, Unconsciousness Rolls happen at the end of your turn. It think it makes more sense to roll after you exert yourself as opposed to before.
I leave it as is, for pretty much the same reason - I think it makes sense if you just stop doing anything, you can stay awake. If you try to do something, you may pass out before you manage to do so.
I could see it either way, but I like the drama of the decision - do I just sit here, or do I act? Plus, many of the PCs and NPCs in my games could access healing in that one second, so "roll when you are done" could easily become "don't bother rolling, you put yourself back out of consciousness roll territory." So you couldn't knock out the guy with Fast-Draw and a bunch of gems of healing, say, or a self-healing power or spell and a pretty good skill in it.

If Hjellmar's shield is a buckler, then I agree, it's dropped when he's stunned. But if it's strapped onto his arm, I don't think so. It requires a Ready maneuver (and a DX roll if in close combat) to deliberately drop a strapped-on shield, so it shouldn't fall off by accident.
Vic LaPira July 15, 2016 at 5:47 PM
Hjalmarr uses a large shield, not a buckler.
That's correct, you drop anything you were holding. Technically, a shield is strapped to the arms, not held. The rule about getting rid of a shield in close combat isn't any more relevant than the rule about getting rid of shields while drowning, though.
Our house rule is that you treat a shield on a stunning and knockdown roll like a shield on a critical failure to block - you lose your grip and need to re-ready before it does anything but give you a Defensive Bonus.
Also, looking this up reminded me that you can't do a Slam with a buckler, since I wanted to double-check all of the shield references in Basic Set.
This Hjalmarr isn't necessarily the same as your Hjalmarr, Vic. I just wanted you to feel alarmed reading the words "his foe stabs him in the face." And you can have a large-shield-sized buckler!
Vic LaPira July 15, 2016 at 10:18 PM
Yes, when I read it, I thought, "New quirk: Dislikes being stabbed in the face." It's a corollary to "Dislikes: Not being at full HP."

Disclaimer: I know nothing of internal SJ Games decisions or processes.
I actually think the best thing SJ Games could do is start bringing out apps that do a lot of the GURPS rolls for you. Get someone else to do it with the license so they don't take the risk.
As long as I still get to roll dice and have it tell me the results, spelled out, I'd use it.
If it rolls for me, well, that sucks. I like the physical sensation and visual experience of rolling dice more than pressing a button that spits out a number.
Unachimba July 15, 2016 at 9:26 PM
Easy to do (disclaimer I know nothing about doing anything). Basically just want something that keeps track of all modifiers, saves rolls (if you use them, otherwise you just type over them). I'm sure Excel experts could cobble up something there. I'd just like an app for my phone.
I'd say something like $20 if it was pretty powerful would be about what I am willing to pay. Perhaps slightly less if character creation, NPC tracking and other apps came out as well and I decided to buy them.
I could even imagine each player having the app on their phone. Or perhaps the free version upgradable to the full paid version. They just enter their character traits relevant to combat and track damage and get told when penalties and states apply.
Billy July 18, 2016 at 3:50 PM
I think it's important to differentiate between being stunned (the "stun" result of some spells and other situations) and suffering from "knockdown and stunning" (major wounds and being hit in the head or vitals for enough damage to cause a shock penalty). I had trouble with this until it was pointed out to me that they are not the same.
Being stunned does not mean you fall down and drop things; it means that you must Do Nothing and suffer a -4 to your active defenses and you cannot retreat. Suffering from Knockdown and Stunning means you fall prone, drop everything, and also suffer the effects of Stun.
(Note, I am not correcting anything you wrote; just pointing out that newbies might miss the difference.)
That's a very good point to bring up. Yeah, this is narrowly about "Stunning and Knockdown" and consciousness rolls from injury. You can be stunned without using the stunning and knockdown rules, and go unconscious from causes other than injury. I should put up a post about some of those other causes!

Living with anxiety is like living in a horror movie in which you know you'll die for certain but you don't know when and how, and you can't trust anybody else.
Living with anxiety is like having thousands of tiny people running around inside your head, screaming, without purpose or destination, and you try to get them to calm down and walk in a line to a single destination but they just won't listen.
Living with anxiety is like being so worked up over your inability to decide between the red chocolate or the blue chocolate that you set your house on fire.
Living with anxiety is like trying to douse your burning house with water again and again, and then you realize that the water was actually kerosene.
Living with anxiety is like getting your house to finally stop burning and sitting down with a sense of relief, and then you notice a spark, panic, and set your house on fire again.
Living with anxiety is like screaming and cursing at your house to stop burning, knowing very well that yelling at the house won't help, but you keep doing it anyway.
Living with anxiety is like wanting to tap dance with a panda and throw stones at every person at the same time.
Living with anxiety is like telling people that you want to tap dance with a panda and throw stones at every person and they think you're just saying that for the attention.
Living with anxiety is like keeping a five-hundred-pound object on your lap in a way that you cannot get up, cannot move, cannot do anything.
Living with anxiety is like shouting out loud in a crowded room and yet nobody can hear you.
Living with anxiety is like running down a never-ending spiral staircase.
Living with anxiety is real, and it's lonely.

In Moab, Utah, a unique redevelopment will create "Living Buildings": regenerative, affordable, water & energy-positive homes
Community Rebuilds and its partners at Architectural Nexus have officially registered to build the first fully certified Living Buildings in Utah.
These homes, located in Moab, will confront challenges in economic and environmental sustainability by undertaking the Living Building Challenge (LBC). This rigorous building certification lobbies to change the narrative that people and buildings are separate from and harmful to the environment.
Instead, the LBC proves that buildings can and should be regenerative, self-sufficient, and have a positive impact on their surroundings, as opposed to "merely" reducing the negative impact, which is the goal of most sustainability initiatives.
These four homes have the potential to be the first to be fully LBC-certified homes for low-income residents. Affordability is key in sustainability and Community Rebuilds wants to prove that healthy, restorative buildings are for everyone. The challenge is improving upon the Community Rebuilds model by making energy-efficient straw bale homes more regenerative.
Living Buildings function as cleanly and efficiently as a flower, meaning the homes must be:
Water Positive: only using water that is naturally available on site in a closed loop system, treating and managing all water on site without the use of chemicals;
Energy Positive: generating all energy on site with renewable resources, using a low-embodied energy material pallet, and offsetting the carbon footprint of the building; and
Materially Responsible: avoiding many of the conventional building materials that are toxic to people and the environment, reducing waste, and sourcing as locally and responsibly as possible.
This is actually a redevelopment project, as the homes will be built on the site of the previous Community Rebuilds intern home. Deconstruction of the previous building began in the spring of 2019 with the intention of salvaging as much usable building material as possible. Reusing materials from this building and others has become a key strategy for the project.
These materials, which would otherwise head to the landfill, lower the carbon and monetary cost of construction, and reduce the need to produce new materials. Community Rebuilds is currently accepting donated building materials from the community to incorporate into these homes.
While many Community Rebuilds homes already address energy efficiency and resilience, the non-profit builder is excited to take on the challenge of becoming water positive. Water is an extremely valuable resource everywhere, but particularly in arid Utah.
This project is helping to advocate for more sustainable practices in water management to key decision makers in the state. These homes will use rainwater for toilet flushing and all other water used in the home will be used to irrigate the landscape. By partnering with the Health Department, Community Rebuilds is paving a way for permitting residential composting toilets.
In addition to pursuing the LBC, Community Rebuilds certified the first net zero energy builds in Utah through the International Living Future Institute. Zach Ahrens' home, built in 2015, was certified earlier this year for generating more energy than it uses. They hope that this inspires other builders in the region to incorporate renewable energy and energy efficient building techniques as well.
Construction on the first two homes of the LBC project is expected to begin in the summer of 2019. Updates on the project will be posted on the Community Rebuilds' website and blog. The staff at Community Rebuilds says they are excited to journey further into regenerative design through the LBC and continue creating new realities for affordable homes.
Project sponsors include REG Engineering, Little Salt Wash Straw, and Gardner Energy. Community Rebuilds is an equal housing provider through USDA Rural Development.

Wu Songgao (, 1898–1953) was a politician, jurist and political scientist in the Republic of China. He was an important politician during the Wang Jingwei regime. He was born in Wuxian (now, Wuzhong District and Xiangcheng District, Suzhou), Jiangsu.

Biography
After graduating the Fudan University, Wu Songgao went to France and entered to the Division of Law, University of Paris. After graduating it, he went to United Kingdom, and became a research worker in the University of London. Later he returned to China, and successively held the positions of President of the Post Graduate Course of Law of the Fudan University, Associate Professor of the Post Graduate Course of Law of the National Central University, and Professor of the Department of Politics of the National Central Political School.

In July 1932, Wu Songgao was appointed to the Councilor of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. Next November, he was transferred to the Councilor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In July 1935, he was appointed to the Chief of the International Affairs Bureau, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the secretary of the Foreign Affairs Group of the Central Political Commission. On that time, he worked as the Chief Editor of the Foreign Affairs Review Magazine and the Manager of the Political Science Society of China.

Later Wu Songgao participated to the Wang Jingwei regime, and was appointed to the Central Executive Member of the Kuomintang (Wang's clique) and the secretary of the Central Political Committee. In July 1942, he was appointed to the Chief Member of the Advisory Committee for Foreign Affairs and the Vice-Minister for Judicial Administrating. Next Year, he successively held the positions of Member of the Committee for requisitioning Japanese settlement in Hankou, Member of the Committee for requisitioning French settlement and Member of the Committee for requisitioning French settlement in Tianjin.

In April 1944, Wu Songgao was appointed to the Chief-Secretary of the Government of the Shanghai Special City. Next month, he also held the Chairman of the Committee for Baojia system in Shanghai. In January 1945, he promoted to the Ministry for Judicial Administrating, and also held the Vice-Chairman of the Committee for abolition of extraterritorial right.

After the Wang Jingwei regime had collapsed, on August 17, the Leader of the Team of the Taxation Police Bureau () Zhou Gao () who was a subordinate of Zhou Fohai suddenly started captured important members of the Wang Jingwei regime. On that time, Wu Songgao also arrested by Zhou Gao's group. Later the Vice-Chief of the General Staff of the China Expeditionary Army Takeo Imai () urged Zhou Gao to release arrested people, so Wu also was set a free.

But on September 8 same year, Wu Songgao was arrested by the Chiang Kai-shek's National Government. Later because of the charge of treason and surrender to enemy (namely Hanjian), Wu was sentenced to life imprisonment. After the People's Republic of China had established, his treatment wasn't change.

Wu Songgao died in prison in 1953.

Film review – Title: Parasite / Director: Bong Joon-Ho / Released: 2019
There seems to be something fundamentally odd with the decisions of major festivals worldwide, with provocative films like Joker and Parasite winning first prize at the Venice and Cannes film festivals respectively. Films that hold strong beliefs and indirectly call out to the masses for a social awakening.
"Parasite won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, which has become a yearly celebration of films that proclaim progressive, anti-American attitudes."
Armond White, National Review
The director Bong Joon-Ho seems determined to carry out his project successfully and, judging from the meticulous level of detail, he has succeeded in creating something visually appealing. The settings play a significant role here: on the one hand, we're dealing with the basement apartment of a poor family and, on the other, with the extravagantly, luxurious open-space house of the rich. The social contrasts couldn't be more obviously striking, and I am not sure that this raw juxtaposition doesn't constitute a huge cliché.
Of course, the director places its creation within the dark-comic-satire genre and this alone excuses many of the plot's exaggerated turns. And when it comes to creating pure suspense, Bong manages to deliver a bucketful.
But there is also plenty of preaching naïveté. A lot is hinted about the American way of life, with the wealthy family imitating what is probably – wrongly considered to be – the American lifestyle. But this Americanization does not only concern the plot but also the artistic direction, with many slow-motion scenes, overly stylised and with pseudo-classical music in the background, mimicking perhaps western TV ads or series. But here it seems contrived and out of place in an all-Asian context.
While Parasite is not a bad movie, it has little artistic merit. If we take each ingredient individually, then the performances are nothing to write home about, simply because the characters mostly resemble comic book personas than real-life people. The direction is very linear, based heavily on aesthetics: a lot of classical music and slow-motion techniques with glimpses of striking photography. In the end, the combination of near-comical performances and satirical plot elements, ironic directional tone and stylised photography is not dissimilar to the feeling we get with popular sitcoms.
Don't get me wrong: in the past couple of years, we have seen some real gems from Asian cinema. When it comes to Parasite I'd really like to be able to say something positive, but between the one-sided characters, the carefully worked out plot where each little detail and event seem perfectly synchronised for the sake of a technically perfect cinematic execution, plus the ethically ambiguous messages it delivers to the audience, I am not sure I can.
This would have been a better film had it not resorted to such simplistic metaphorical devices and if it had instead focused on the core and essence of the protagonists' behaviour rather than their grimaces and witticisms.
Not bad overall, excellent in technical terms, definitely not boring but naïve in its symbolism, it might turn out to be disappointing to those who seek a highly artistic experience.

Performing birds are put through their paces by a man holding a little stick.
Man gives a show with some performing birds. He has a little step ladder which a bird (a canary?) walks up and down. A parrot then climbs up a little stand using his feet and beak, across a platform at the top then down again. The birds then jump through little hoops which are set up on the table. A budgerigar spins on some miniature parallel bars!
A mini seesaw is next. Birds sit on either end and another bird jumps from one side to the other to make the seesaw move up and down. The entertainer then puts all the birds on the table and they walk towards a little model house. The man uses a little stick to persuade them all to go into the house. He shuts them in, the last one flies into the top window and he shuts that too.

The Maldives offers border miles
MALE, The Maldives 30 September 2020: Maldives Immigration launched a three-tiered loyalty programme titled 'Maldives Border Miles' to mark World Tourism Day on 27 September arguably the first of its kind worldwide.
First reported in the Edition, an online news channel in the Maldives, the three tiers bronze, silver and gold categories reward tourists with bonus points based on visits and duration of stay. The project gets underway in December and will incentivise wealthy travellers to return to the Maldives to enjoy benefits during future visits.
Initiated by Maldives Immigration, Maldives Border Miles was developed by the Ministry of Tourism, Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) and Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL).
Minister of Tourism, Abdulla Mausoom stated: "The Maldives Border will increase the popularity of Maldives as a tourist destination and provide a path for more marketing and advertising opportunities."
The Maldives closed its air and sea borders to tourists on 27 March and halted its visa-on-arrival concession until 15 July.
Even after reopening borders, the Maldives tourist arrivals reached just 13,516 until September. Overall, the Maldivian government estimates a shortfall of approximately USD450 million (MVR 6.9 billion) in foreign currency and a state deficit of MVR13 billion in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the tourism industry.

"The goats always won"
10:57 am 27 February 2019
Charles Bigger, a five foot gangland killer who offed his own brother and disappeared without a conviction, is contacted by "the Man" to retire one Jake Winroy, a witness about to testify about some important people. People and events do not play ball and our friendly neighbourhood killer is coming apart at the seams, physically and mentally.
As with Thompson's "The Getaway" this has a sick, dream-like feel to it and voyages into outright surrealism at the end to depict a man at the end of his tether. Killer Charlie's insertion into wholesome ordinariness lends the narrative a nicely unsettling parodic quality. Everyone – almost everyone – buys Charlie's nice guy routine, particularly since he comes with glowing personal references to bolster his cover, so the first turn of the novel is when he starts throwing snark around and confiding his actual thoughts to the reader ("Somehow I managed to keep from punching the stupid bastard in the face"). His toxicity is not, however, bullet-proof and among his many blunders the sentimental twonk falls for house-help Ruth, hobbling around on crutches and telling him she knows he's a nice guy really. This nice guy is someone who drops lit matches onto a woman's naked breasts to make a point. Charlie gets in with the Sheriff Summers and his wife, accompanying them to Church (where he comes up with his murderous plan), gets mentored and offered a job by fellow house boarder Kendall, almost gets framed by the drunken Jake Winroy, almost frozen to death locked in a cold store and puts away the booze like it's going out of fashion. This is the good life lived by a liar who can't quite live with himself.
Thompson's work feels personal. "Savage Night" is a simulacrum for a dodgy type play-acting at life while secretly plotting murders and nausing up multiple opportunities for happiness and love. Not a million miles away from Thompson's own turbulent life, one feels. There is hard-won wisdom regarding drink ("You take just so much from the bottle, and then you stop taking. From then on you're putting"), I doubt Ruth's biblical name was accidental and with Charlie coughing up blood and Fay Winroy suggesting "Let's kill him now and get it over with" there are Shakespearean nods if you want to find them. Thompson was no hack and his death-bed prediction of posthumous acclaim is all the more on point in 2019 where Yorgos Lanthimos is looking to follow up "The Favourite" with an adaptation of Thompson's "Pop.1280". The feeling seems to be if Thompson was good enough for Stanley Kubrick he's certainly good enough for a film-maker looking for a low-budget character piece with noir trappings and the opportunity for some arty surrealism at the end. It's just a pity Thompson never got to enjoy some of that acclaim in his lifetime but then again "it seemed like I'd always been living on the ragged edge."

'Do not link Muslims to every murder of a Hindu activist'
"It is inappropriate to link Muslims to the murders of activists belonging to Hindu outfits. Such premonitions should be erased as the community is not interested in unnecessarily flaring up communal tension," the Federation of Coimbatore District Muslim Organisations and Political Parties said today.
Even before the news of the midnight murder of Hindu Munnani functionary C Sasikumar reached the public, some activists belonging to Hindu outfits indulged in violence and hurled petrol bombs at mosques in two places, Federation Coordinator K Raja Hussein told reporters here.
In a shocking statement, state president of Hindu Munnani Kadeshawara Subramanian had said to the media in the morning that Tamil Nadu will become another Gujarat, where Muslim families are killed, he said.
He pointed out that even before the police have traced and arrested the real culprits, Hindu outfits are blaming Muslims for the murder and targeting the places of worship, shops and other commercial establishments belonging to community.
The district secretary of Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK), Siddiq Ali asked police to take action against Subramanian for his hate speech and urged the government to ban the Munnani, for creating communal tension in the peace-loving Tamil Nadu.
Representatives of 11 organisations and parties such as the SDPI, the Popular Front of India, the Jamaat Islami Hind and the India Towhid Jamaat, were present at the press conference.
They said that such incidents will deprive Coimbatore of investments and consequently its growth more so because the city has been chosen as a Smart City, an initiative under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Surfer of the Century: riding the waves with duke kahanamoku
May 19, 2008 November 22, 2017 ~ jama
Happy Nonfiction Monday!
Since it's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and the Summer Olympics are just around the corner, I thought it was the perfect time to take a closer look at a very cool picture book biography: Surfer of the Century: The Life of Duke Kahanamoku, by Ellie Crowe.
I heard his name a lot growing up in Hawai'i. He was an icon, a legendary hero, and lived according to his self-defined Creed of Aloha:
In Hawai'i we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with Aloha, which means with love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawai'i renowned as the world's center of understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You'll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it and this is my creed.
I knew that Duke had won Olympic medals for swimming and that he was the father of surfing. But I didn't know about the hardships he faced in order to reach his goals, particularly with regard to discrimination.
Call me naive. I grew up on a small island populated by people of every color. I never saw or heard of anyone being refused service in a restaurant because of the color of his/her skin. So I was surprised to learn that although he was sought after and admired because of his athletic brilliance, Duke was often treated like a non-person — being stared at or ignored, deemed a "strange looking, dark-skinned native from a distant land."
I like how Crowe highlights many of the crucial events in Duke's life with dramatic scenes that really stick in the reader's mind: when he broke three Amateur Athletic Union world records to qualify for the U.S.Olympic team, and his times were so fast the officials in New York refused to believe them; when he missed his 100-meter freestyle race at his first Olympic games in Stockholm because he had overslept; when he rescued eight fishermen from a capsized boat in California with his surfboard; or when he was the only surfer able to ride a gargantuan wave, as described at the beginning of the book:
Eager surfers gripped their wooden surfboards and stared out at the monster waves. Spawned far out at sea, the thirty-foot "Bluebirds" streaked across miles of ocean in a solid line, crashing in white foam on Waikiki Beach. Such huge waves occurred only on extraordinary occasions, the result of underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Who dared surf the Bluebirds?
Only one surfer mastered the gigantic waves that day in 1917 — Duke Kahanamoku. He rode a thundering Bluebird for almost two miles, from the deep blue ocean to the white sand beach.
This story, of how a poor beachboy from Waikiki won 6 Olympic medals, introduced surfing to America, Australia and New Zealand, held the world's fastest swimming record for twelve years, became Sheriff of Honolulu, and then official ambassador for the Islands, is sure to fascinate and inspire adults and kids alike. Beyond his official honors and medals, one remembers his modesty, courage, determination and good sportsmanship, no matter what the obstacle.
On an interesting side note, Ellie Crowe says in a Honolulu Star Bulletin interview that she first wrote about Duke's early years in Duke's Olympic Feet, which she submitted to Lee and Low Books.
DUKE'S OLYMPIC FEET by Ellie Crowe
(Island Heritage, 2002), ages 1-6
When she didn't receive an answer, she went ahead and published the book with Island Heritage, a regional publisher. Two years later, Lee and Low editor, Louise May, offered to publish Crowe's manuscript, apologizing for the delay, but explaining that it had been buried on her desk. Crowe showed Louise the published book, and together they worked on a full biography geared for a national audience, which became Surfer of the Century.
This book received a starred review from School Library Journal, was named a Bloomsbury Review Editor's Favorite 2007, and was one of only two books listed as a Notable Children's Book for the Kiriyama Prize, which recognizes outstanding books about the Pacific Rim and South Asia. The striking art deco style illustrations done in gouache air brush by Richard Waldrep perfectly complement the era with gorgeous blues of ocean, pool, and sky.

Be prepared to invest in a surfboard, if he doesn't already have one :)!
You mean about Crowe finally getting Lee and Low to publish? That would be something, hearing from them after 2 years and another version already out. A great surprise!

You are here: Home / Project News / Cogent Provides Plant-wide System Integration to 600,000T/Yr Pellet Plant in Hamlet, North Carolina
September 30, 2019 | Last updated on October 1, 2019
Cogent recently completed work on Enviva's 600,000 metric tons per a year pellet mill in Hamlet, North Carolina. The plant is located on a 125 acre site and will directly employ 80 full-time workers and has created and supported an additional 180 jobs in logging, transportation, and local services associated with the wood pellet industry.
While the plant was being built Cogent worked on Enviva Hamlet's Dryer Island System Controls. A year later Cogent completed work on the Wet Electrostatic Precipitator (WESP) while the plant was operating.
The purpose of Cogent's work was to automate the operation of the Dryer Island. The automatic operation of the systems is controlled by a group of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC's) while the operation of the Dryer Island is monitored by the Operator via Human Machine Interface (HMI) stations located in the plant control room.
The Hamlet plant began commercial operations in June and reach full nameplate production in 2021. The pellets produced in Hamlet will be shipped overseas to Europe and Asia via the storage and transshipment terminal of Enviva Port of Wilmington in North Carolina to satisfy the global demand for wood biomass pellets.

As an electric cooperative member-owner, your voice matters. Please join our effort to urge local and federal policymakers to work with electric cooperatives in their effort to provide energy that is affordable, reliable, and clean.
On both the federal and state level, the WREA is active in promoting the interests of Wyoming's electric cooperatives and the member-customers they serve. The WREA works closely with legislators to ensure that new policies and regulations do not hinder the state's cooperatives from providing the same high level of service that consumers have always enjoyed.
The WREA works in tandem with the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) to advocate the cooperative business model among decision makers in Washington D.C. As federal legislators propose new laws and policies, the WREA and NRECA are ready to represent electric cooperatives' priorities and inform member-consumers about the latest developments and debates.
Compared to other electric utilities, electric cooperatives differ in both ownership structure and purpose. As private, not-for-profit, consumer-owned businesses, they bring a consumer-oriented perspective on legislation and regulation affecting the wholesale energy market and other aspects of the electric industry.
In March of 2012, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu sent a memo to the federal Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs) laying the groundwork for new policies, including new transmission policies that could alter the historic arrangement that has guaranteed affordable electric power for rural co-ops.
As Congress and the Administration work to create federal climate change policy, the nation's demand for electric power is growing. America's electric cooperatives are seeking a realistic policy that will protect their ability to provide reliable, affordable electric power.
Nationwide, cooperatives employ more than 70,000 workers. Electric cooperatives are committed to protecting their safety and long-term well-being.
Electric cooperatives advocate common sense public policies on air quality, water, and land resources that balance environmental stewardship with our need for energy to power the nation's economy.
Electric cooperatives use a wide range of fuels to generate electric power. This diversity—including the "fifth fuel," energy efficiency—helps maintain a reliable and affordable electric supply for member-consumers by ensuring that regionally plentiful resources can be utilized.
Among the factors that influence the level of service electric cooperatives offer their member-owners, state laws and regulations are some of the most significant. The WREA is active in monitoring the possible effects of state policies and engaging in government relations to ensure the conversation surrounding new legislation includes the perspective of the state's electric cooperatives.
The WREA's involvement in state issues reflects its commitment to support Wyoming residents in the most effective way it can—by providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to communities throughout the state.


Make the last of orange season with this fresh salad! I had a few oranges that I needed to use up and I decided to try to make an orange vinaigrette for a salad. This recipe is very simple and healthy; it only took me about 20 minutes from start to finish and tasted delicious! Cooking the chicken breast in orange juice really made the meat flavorful and moist. The orange glazed chicken in this recipe could also be a meal on its own served with stir-fried vegetables and rice.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and put them into the skillet. After you first flip over each piece of chicken, pour orange juice over the breasts. Allow the chicken to cook thoroughly as the orange juice begins to thicken (about 4 minutes on each side). Once chicken is done, put aside and let cool.
Roast the almonds and sesame seeds under the broiler for about 2 minutes or until they begin to brown. Watch carefully, this can happen quickly! Put aside to cool.
To assemble the dressing, combine olive oil, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and mustard. Whisk together ingredients and then add the garlic. Put aside.
For the garnish, segment the orange and finely chop the cilantro. Put aside.
Slice the chicken breasts. Then toss the lettuce with the toasted almonds and sesame seeds, orange segments, and most of the dressing, reserving some for the top. Put chicken on top of the salad, drizzle on the extra dressing and top with cilantro. Enjoy!


CERIMON HOUSE is a nonprofit arts & humanities organization, located in the heart of the NE Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. Established in 2009, we offer a wide array of cultural programming and focus on the 4 C's of our mission: Community, Creativity, Curiosity, and Ceremony. The Creative Path Walk is a popular monthly installation of a large-scale contemplative walking pattern, and as one of our signature programs, it synthesizes the Cerimon House mission by bringing the community into an immersive experience that is deeply artful, educational, and ceremonial. Stories about the Cerimon House monthly labyrinth have been featured in numerous Portland publications, and on "Best of…" listings regarding wellness and mindfulness.
We are located in a history-filled building in the heart of a vibrant Arts District. We are so glad to have saved this remarkable fellowship lodge from the wrecking-ball, completed a full renovation, and have now brought a 'third life' to the edifice.
Where once the members of a Masonic Lodge gathered in good friendship (1924-86), and then a neighborhood church met in prayer & song (1986-2006), it was the period of abandonment that followed (7 years) that risked the near-ruin of this great space. The board of directors and volunteers of Cerimon House acquired and restored the building with care and ingenuity, and opened the doors to the public in 2015. We now bring cultural arts, education, and celebration into this community harbor.
We invite you inside for our varied and various activities. Visit us in Portland, year-round.

Great Liverpool Captains
November 15, 2013 Chris Rowland
By Jamie Mclaughlin and Chris Rowland.
It's interesting to ponder just how important a captain is to a football team.
It's not like cricket, where captaincy can greatly influence the outcome of and proceedings within a match. A cricket captain has to set the fielding positions, change the bowlers around, make decisions on when and whether to declare an innings or enforce a follow-on, be a meteorologist and interpreter of pitch and overhead conditions, and think deep strategy.
In football, strategy's the manager's job, though you may have a lead role to play in their tactical execution on the pitch.
You can take the reductio in absurdio view that all football captains really do is toss a coin, shake hands with another captain, pretend to be nice to the ref and approach him as a form of Kissinger when one of your team has attempted kamikaze on an opponent. Then perhaps a spot of hand-clapping and fist-pumping, maybe even take centre-stage in one of those bonding huddles and deliver a Churchillian speech, and a bit more media stuff than the rest of the team. They're just figureheads.
So the job is pretty much just wearing an armband, right? Oh, and quite often in Liverpool's case, lifting silverware.
Well yes and no. A good captain should inspire the rest of the team, be a man they can look to for inspiration, motivation and organisation, especially in adversity. There's more than one way of providing all these '-tions' of course. He can do it by being a commanding presence and personality, or by example, driving the team forward on the field of play and urging others to follow his lead out of the trenches and over the top.
Whether by strength of personality, force of will or on-field heroics, Liverpool Football Club has had some inspiring captains throughout their history, from 1892 when Scot (the first of many) Andrew Hannah captained Liverpool's first- ever team right through to current captain Steven Gerrard.
Let's look at a few who stand out throughout our history. Men who elevated the art of leadership above that described above. Men who achieved greatness, for themselves and for their teams, often through adversity.

The Vitra Grand Repos Chair stands in the tradition of the classic lounge chair, but taking this concept further to reach a new level. The Grand Repos comes with generous padding and continuously adjustable for different sitting positions, these chairs fulfill all demands with respect to comfortable, relaxing seating.
The Italian designer and architect Antonio Citterio knows how to combine timeless elegance with unsurpassed comfort. He has worked with Vitra regularly for around 25 years and during this time has created a variety of designs - including several pioneering office chairs. After many years of experience in creating dynamic and healthy seating, he has now applied his expertise to the private living area, with Grand Repos as his premiere piece.
Available in soft cosy fabric or high quality leather with contrasting double seams and with optional footstool.


Access was started in the late 1950's by Mr Graham Pearce, an industrial chemist who had traded chemistry for the 'good life' running a small market garden in Crick, Northamptonshire. To try and get a better price for his strawberries, he designed an innovative glass and steel cold frame with sliding glass sides for easy access – hence our original name Access Frames.
Two principles were at the heart of the design: there should be no heavy lids to lift for access or ventilation; and there should be plenty of light inside, unlike the traditional cold frames with wood or brick sides. By having glass on the sides as well as the top, light and ventilation were dramatically improved.
In the early 1980's Access invented the Mini greenhouse, launching it at Chelsea Flower show with immediate success. The sliding glass panels, adapted from the Cold Frame designs, made Access to the inside easy. Shelving systems were quickly designed to add into the Mini greenhouse to take advantage of the vertical space available.
Over the years, sales of Mini greenhouse accelerated, far outstripping sales of the Cold Frames. More models were added to the range to cater for ever smaller spaces in the garden. However in the last few years, with the rise in popularity of 'Grow your Own', the Access Cold Frame has again become popular, taking the company full circle.
In 2018 the company celebrated it's 60th anniversary. The same values that Mr Pearce instilled in the company are still evident, with excellent customer service and excellent quality at the core of everything we do.
To coincide with the anniversary Access launched the 'Chatsworth' greenhouse, providing the same growing space as a full-sized greenhouse in half the area.


Your horse's health records can help save lives. Oakham Veterinary Hospital Equine and the University of Nottingham are actively involved in clinical research which ensures we continually review the best options for caring for and treating our patients. We do this in a number of different ways, and your horse's health record is important in helping us do this. Clinical research includes reviewing patient records to look at patterns of disease (e.g. to help predict which animals may be most at risk), evaluating different diagnostic tests (e.g. to determine which are most effective and how we can improve), and evaluating different treatments (e.g. to ensure outcomes from a new surgical method are better than previous techniques).
Retrospective studies look at records of horses which have been seen previously. They are mainly used to provide information on the types of diseases / conditions we see, which horses are mainly affected, and to compare different diagnostic tests and treatments. We use retrospective studies both for internal audit (where we assess the types of cases we see and how they do, and compare to other published results or what has happened previously in our practice), and to generate external research publications (which share our experiences externally and help others). In these studies, we may use data from current patient records; all the information is anonymised so it cannot be traced back to an individual person or horse and you and your horse are not identified. The data is reviewed and analysed by either a member of staff or researcher from Oakham Veterinary Hospital Equine or the Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science. A law (Data Protection Act 1998) has been put in place to make sure that your data cannot be abused. Researchers face disciplinary action, or even prosecution, if they do not use your data responsibly. An ethics committee, assesses the risks and benefits of individual research studies before they are approved and can go ahead. If you do not wish your horse's data to be used in these retrospective studies, then please contact Oakham Veterinary Hospital Equine and we will remove your data from these studies.
Prospective studies are studies which are set up to evaluate a new test or treatment – for these studies, owners will be asked in advance whether they wish to be involved, and give informed consent if they want to be involved (which means reading / being told the details of the study and deciding whether they want to participate or not). The same rules about data protection, researcher protocols and ethical approval apply to these studies, and you can 'opt out' of prospective studies at any point that you wish, if you change your mind. Your information is anonymised so you cannot be identified if the research is published.
Other types of studies include surveys and interviews – these studies may ask for more personal information from you, including your age, professional qualifications etc. All these research studies require informed consent, so you will be given information on the study and asked if you want to participate before getting involved. Once again, all these studies are subject to data protection, researcher protocols and ethical approval, and again are anonymised so you cannot be identified if the research is published.
