History of video games/Platforms/Bandai LCD Solarpower

History
The LCD Solarpower was released in 1982 in Japan by Bandai. The system is significant in gaming history as one of the first to use renewable energy not only as a power source, but as a marketing tool. The use of solar power was perhaps more likely to appeal to gamers wishing to reduce dependence on batteries, rather then a desire to use renewable energy.

Technology
Either a single screen or dual screens were used.

The system used a thumb stick for directional control.

The system is commonly considered among the first, if not the first, mass produced solar powered handheld gaming systems. Such a feature would not be commonly seen on handheld consoles going forward, as of 2022.

You seem to be under the impression that Wikibooks allows you to create a private project for your organisation. It doesn't. It is intended for the creation of collaborative free textbooks.

 * Thank you Marc, that is what I am envisioning, to make a collaborative free textbook for use by general public, this is not a private project. I titled it since it is not meant to be all inclusive comprehensive guide but more of clinical practical application for learners of hematology and oncology. Does that explain a little bit of what I am envisioning? Thank you. ADesaiMD (discuss • contribs) 22:29, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

This article covers the copula in deeper detail. We had learnt how to build nominal sentences in another article, and in this article we will talk about building nominal sentences in the past, future and declined for other moods explained before in the articles about grammar.

The pseudoverb imek
imek used to be a verb similar to the English to be, but turned into a suffix in modern Turkish. It has only 4 declensions: idi, imiş, ise, iken (with their suffix forms -(y)dı, -(y)mış, -(y)sa, -(y)ken).

Formation
Nouns ending in vowels get a y inserted before any of the suffixes. The d in -(y)dı obeys consonant harmony. -(y)dı and -(y)mış undergoes 4-way vowel harmony, -(y)sa undergoes 2-way vowel harmony, and -(y)ken is invariable.

Personal endings may be added to -(y)dı, -(y)mış, -(y)sa, but not -(y)ken.

The past copular marker -(y)dı
The past copular marker -(y)dı is used to create nominal sentences in the past.

Here is the text for the Selfish Giant:

About Oscar Wilde
Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in 1854, in Dublin, Ireland. Coming from a family where his mother was a writer and literary hostess, Wilde was known for many of his comedies, poems, stories, plays, and novel. Wilde attended Trinity University and Oxford University, but before graduating from Oxford he received Oxford’s Newdigate Prize for his long poem, Ravenna. Later, he settled in London, England. A few months shy of turning thirty, Wilde married Constance Lloyd, and they had two sons named Cyril Holland, Vyvyan Holland. Soon after Wilde published some works such as “The Selfish Giant”. In May 1897, Wilde was released from prison after being sentenced to charges in 1895. With hopes of keeping his writing career alive, he wrote a poem that revealed his concern for inhumane prison conditions. Despite constant money issues, Wilde remained upbeat. Wilde passed away suddenly on November 30, 1900, in Paris, France, due to meningitis brought on by an ear infection.

Summary
A Giant had a beautiful garden where children loved to play in while the Giant had been abroad for seven years and when he returned, he was upset to find the children playing in his garden, so he built a wall around it to keep them out and put up a sign threatening anyone who entered the garden without Giant’s permission. From then on, the children were forced to play on the dusty, hard road. Because of this selfish act, Spring, Summer, and Autumn stopped being interested in visiting the Giant’s garden and only Winter existed there. As the months passed, the Giant became very puzzled as to why the seasons did not change, but one morning he finally heard a bird singing in the garden. When he looked out the window he saw that the children had sneaked into the garden, causing Spring to come back and the trees and flowers to blossom again. Still, Winter remained in one part of the garden where a little boy was crying because he was unable to reach up and climb a nearby tree. The Giant then understood that his selfishness had caused Spring to avoid his garden and he felt very sorry, resolving to destroy the wall so the children could play in it whenever they want.

But when the Giant went into the garden, the children ran away, afraid of him, except for the little boy who was still crying; so the Giant picked him up gently and helped him up into the tree, which immediately burst into bloom and filled with singing birds. The little boy then kissed the Giant for helping him.

The Giant then tore down the wall and let the children play in the garden as much as they wanted. When the evening came and the children had to go home, the Giant looked for the little boy who had kissed him, but he was nowhere to be found and the other children did not know who he was or where he lived. Many years would pass before the Giant saw the little boy again.

At the end of the story, the Giant was old and it was Winter in his garden again. He looked out of the window and saw a golden tree with silver fruit and white flowers--and under this golden tree is the little boy that he loved best of all the children. Filled with joy, he ran down to meet him but then turned angry because the child had wounds in his hands and feet. The Giant demanded to know who had hurt his friend, but the little boy told him not to be angry because the wounds in his hands and feet represent divine love: he is Christ, and to reward the Giant’s generosity, he has come to take him to God’s garden, which is Paradise.

Analysis
The short story“The Selfish Giant”, is a Christian story Its main message is that selfishness does not pay off, as it can lead to misery. We see in the story that the Giant did not want the children playing in his garden and built a wall enclosing it. He explains himself by saying, "My own garden is my own garden anyone can understand that, and I will allow nobody to play in it but myself." The garden represents the Giant’s heart. As a result of the Giant’s wall, spring did not come and winter, hail, snow, and frost stayed. This is much like how the Giant's heart was cold.

Even though he achieves his goal of being the only one to enjoy the garden, the Giant was unhappy. In the story, we see that the Giant wonders of when Spring will come:“ "I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming," said the Selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; "I hope there will be a change in the weather." Spring is a beautiful time when everything is pretty and becoming full of life again. Spring is also significant in the story as Easter is in spring, which also is the time of Jesus' resurrection. A time where it is remembered that Jesus Christ dies showing his love for his people and pays for their sins and lives again in three days.

It is only when the children are allowed back into the garden to play that Spring comes back and the Giant himself feels better and just like the weather his heart softens and becomes beautiful again:

"One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King's musicians passing by. It was really only a little linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world..” “.And the Giant's heart melted as he looked out.'"

This relates to isolation and community as when you are isolated and by yourself, you may not be happy, and if you have something to offer your community you should and you may even be rewarded for such actions.

In the end, the Giant was rewarded for what he has done in changing his ways and becoming charitable and kind to others, behaviors that are highly looked upon in Christianity.

The little boy who was always at the very corner is Christ in disguise:

“ For on the palms of the child's hands were the prints of two nails, and the prints of two nails were on the little feet.” We know Christ was nailed to a cross for his people and died to pay for their sins. And the Giant was redeemed for the way he had been and thus was able to enter Paradise. It is important to recognize this as in the story we know that the Giant was redeemed and the Giant is accepted by Christ and into his “garden” of paradise which we know as heaven. By this, it is also perceived that the Giant has been accepted into the Christian community. In this story, the characters and objects are symbols. For instance, the garden represents the Giant’s heart and putting up the wall the Giant is not allowing anyone in or guarding himself rather and not being kind or genuine, thinking it would be better. But of course, we see it is not the truth and when the walls are broken down allowing children to play representing innocence, sweet, goodwill nature, redemption is, therefore, is given when done. The different weathers were much like people as the nice things like the blossoming of flowers and fruits didn’t happen. Also showing how they did not want to be with the Giant. As the story says, “But the Spring never came, nor the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. "He is too selfish," she said. We can all relate to this as our own friends may not want to hang around us if we are not kind to them.

Questions To Think About

 * 1) When was the last nice deed you did for someone? What was it and why?
 * 2) Did you think it was nice of the Selfish Giant to keep the children from playing in his garden?
 * 3) How did the Giant try to be nice to the children towards the end of the story?

 * 1) How did the Giant change from the beginning of the story to the end?

Themes in Literature/Isolation and Community/Much Madness

"Insanity is relative.

It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

 * -Ray Bradbury, “The Meadow”"

Divine madness and poetry
Divine madness, which is also referred to as “crazy wisdom,” is usually described as a manifestation of enlightened behavior by an individual who has transcended societal norms. The behaviors that the individual will act out may seem to other individuals in their society as symptoms of mental illness, but they are said to really be a form of religious ecstasy. According to scholars like June McDaniel, David M. DiValerio, Georg Feuerstein, and others, the discussion of divine madness is found throughout history and across many cultures. It is said to reflect an expression of a divine, or godly, love. In some religions such as western Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and others, divine madness is described as an unordinary form of madness; it is behavior that is “consistent with the structure of a spiritual path or a form of complete assimilation of God”.

The Athenian philosopher Plato discussed his ideas of divine madness in his text Phaedrus. He described “Theia mania,” a Greek phrase for divine madness, as being a “gift of the gods.” In Phaedrus, Plato’s main protagonist Socrates declares, "In fact the best things we have comes from madness”. Plato discusses the topic of divine madness once more in his text Ion. In the text, Ion is a professional reciter of poetry, and he argues with Socrates about the nature of the art. They argue that art is a divine inspiration, and that “divine madness is like the prophet being overtaken by God,” where God then speaks through the artist.

In the Pentecostal religion, which is a sect of Protestant Christianity, the practice of divine madness is encouraged among its followers. In Judaism, the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Ghost, is the “divine force, quality, and influence of God over the universe or over his creatures, while in Islam, the Holy Spirit acts as an agent of divine action or communication.” The activities, behaviors, and alleged healing power of the possessed is said to be the “Holy Spirit” in action. This phenomenon is known as charism, which in Christian theology is defined as a "power or authority of a spiritual nature, believed to be a freely given gift by the grace of God." To the people who do not believe or who are untouched by the by the Holy Spirit, the phenomenon of "hearing spiritual voices" may appear to be a symptom of mental illness. The followers of the Pentecostal religion believe there has long been evidence of the Holy Spirit being deeply rooted within Christian spirituality. It is believed that Saint Augustine had “similar experiences of deliberate hallucinations and madness.”

Background of the text
The poem “Much Madness is divinest Sense” by Emily Dickinson is thought to have been written in 1862, but because much of her work was not published until well after her death in 1886 it cannot be said for certain. It was published as part of the Dickinson collection Poems, edited by two friends of the poet, Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1890.

Religious tones are present in the poem, as well as a sense of wit and rebellion that reveals frustration at the societal norms of the time.

The Text
Much Madness is divinest Sense - (1)

To a discerning Eye - (2)

Much Sense - the starkest Madness - (3)

’Tis the Majority (4)

In this, as all, prevail - (5)

Assent - and you are sane - (6)

Demur - you’re straightway dangerous - (7)

And handled with a Chain - (8)

A Helpful Glossary
The American vocabulary in the 19th Century was very different from what it is now. Dickinson’s poetry is also notorious for the use of certain words with a variety of connotations so understanding the definitions of certain words gives new meaning to her writing. The Emily Dickinson Lexicon was created to help translate these words to allow the reader a clearer understanding of her poetry. Here are some definitions of words used in “Much madness…”

Madness, n:

A.) Distraction; preoccupation; absent-mindedness; [fig.] artistic genius; intellectual brilliance; poetic creativity.

B.) Disorder; craziness; passion; frivolity; erratic behavior; lack of caution; [fig.] windiness; unpredictable weather.

C.) Ecstasy; rapture; jubilee; exhilaration.

Divine (-st), adj.

A.) Heavenly; godlike; ecclesiastical; (see Hebrews 9:1).

B.) Godly; higher; sacred; increase of heavenly state; (see 2 Peter 1:3).

C.) Best; greatest; sublime; (see Proverbs 16:10).

D.) Supernatural; immortal significance; (see Ezekiel 13:23).

Stark (-est), adj. [OE 'to grow rigid, strength, strong, become frozen'.]

A.) Bleak; desolate.

B.) Gross; mere; absolute.

Sense (-s), n.

A.) Reason; mind; mental stability; ability to feel; faculties of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and so forth.

B.) Sanity; lucidity; order; rationality; [fig.] insight; inspiration.

C.) Significance; meaning; intimation; definition; [word play] sensory perception from the physical world.

D.) One's body; physical being; perception of the material world.

Being; consciousness; identity.

Assent, v.

Agree; yield; concede; concur; give in; conform in practice; [possible word play on “ascent”.]

Demur (-ed), v.

A.) Refuse; decline; dissent; hesitate; back away.

B.) Object; protest; resist; contest.

C.) Pause; hesitate; linger; wait; stop.

D.) Relent; repent; soften; yield; change mind; make a concession.

Analysis
The poem opens with a paradox with the first line, where the speaker states that “madness” is actually “sense.” In poetry, a paradox is a figure of speech that is a self-contradictory phrase or concept that illuminates a truth. The speaker declares that what is considered to be sane or insane based on the opinion of the majority should be rejected by any intelligent person. The speaker may also be implying that an individual whom society considers to be “mad” or insane might be touched by God; it can be suggested that the “divine madness” the speaker is referring to is the sometimes erratic and unconventional behavior that a person displays when they are receiving a divine message. The poem suggests that the experiences or ideas of individuals whom the majority considers to be mad says much more about society itself than the individual who is being called crazy. The speaker argues that who society considers to be “mad” or who’s behavior goes against acceptable societal norms should be seen to a person with a “discerning Eye” (2) or a “perceiving eye” as expressing intelligence and commonsense. The “Eye” is capitalized, however, and could be a reference to God’s gaze. Furthermore, those who are untouched by divinity will not be able to understand the reason for the behaviors of those they consider mad. Only God and the individual would know the true meaning behind their behavior. The speaker then states that “Much Sense” is the “starkest madness,” (3) implying that what the majority decides is sensible and acceptable societal behavior is what should truthfully be considered insanity. A person who adheres to societal rules and plays their part without question or hesitation like “the Majority” (4) is deemed compliant and accepted as a member of that majority, as suggested in the line “Assent- and you are sane-.” (6) On the other hand, someone who questions societal rules or rejects them is seen as dangerous or insane, as expressed in the lines “Demur- you’re straightway dangerous- and handled with a Chain” (7-8).

Although the attitude and approach towards fully understanding mental illness and its symptoms are different today than they were during Dickinson’s lifetime, there are still many similarities in the way the mentally ill are perceived by society. Those who suffer from extreme cases of mental illness are often shunned from society or kept locked away in hospitals and prisons, with unequal or limited access to proper care. In the time when the poem is said to have been written, women’s behavior was often heavily scrutinized and their main role in society was seen as the caretakers of a household or to entertain their husbands. They had limited freedom or say in what they could do unless given strict permission from a man, be it father, husband, or any other male member of their household. A man had the power to have his wife or daughter committed if they believed they were suffering from “hysteria,” which was a term used to describe emotional excess. Today, hysteria no longer exists as a medical diagnosis in Western culture, but the aftermath of hysteria as a diagnosable illness in the 18th and 19th centuries has had a lasting impact on the medical treatment of women's health. The term hysterical, applied to an individual, can mean that they are emotional, irrationally upset, or frenzied. It was a common medical diagnosis during that time, used to describe a woman who was exhibiting emotionally charged behavior that someone else decided was too excessive or out of control. Being called hysterical by a man and being put away because of it was a very real threat at that time, and one can only assume that Dickinson would have had strong opinions about this hypocritical aspect of society.

Dickinson herself was a well-educated and creatively gifted individual. She never married and spent much of her time secluded while she wrote. It is agreed by many literary critics and historians that Dickinson was influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was an essayist, philosopher, poet, and was the founder of the transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalists believe in the inherent goodness of people and nature, and that society and its institutions have the power to corrupt the purity of a person. It is a core belief of transcendentalists that people are at their best when they are self-reliant and independent. Emerson also encouraged all individuals, and especially writers, to live a hermit’s life and to withdraw from society to prevent being contaminated with materialism. Emerson’s influence on Dickinson can be felt in the poem, as its overall tone comes off as condescending and rebellious, with the sense that the speaker views themselves as an outcast of society for expressing commonsense and rejecting societal roles and norms.

History of video games/Platforms/Super Retro Trio

History
The Retro-Bit Super Retro Trio was preceded by the portable Retro Duo.

The original Super Retro Trio was released in 2014.

The Super Retro Trio Plus model released around 2018. This model received reviews which were mostly positive, albeit with significant caveats.

Electronics
According to a review by Destructoid, the Super Retro Trio Plus used "Software on a chip" technology for game compatibility.

The Super Retro Trio Plus model was capable of outputting a 720p resolution picture using HDMI, albeit with some noted clarity issues. HDMI output was stretched to 16:9 aspect ratio, distorting the image further. The system was also capable out outputting a standard definition composite signal over 3 RCA jacks on the back of the system.

Hardware
The system sported two controller ports for each supported system underneath a movable panel, for six total ports. The system shipped with two controllers, which attach via the SNES port but are usable for all supported systems with some caveats.

The system possessed a microUSB port for power, and was shipped with a power adapter.

The Super Retro Trio Plus carried a P65 warning.

Games
The Super Retro Trio and Super Retro Trio Plus played Genesis, SNES, and NES games. Despite an option toggle, European systems could only play Genesis/Mega Drive games with PAL standards.

An optional adapter accessory expanded the original Super Retro Trio to allow it to play GameBoy and GameBoy Advance games.

Original Super Retro Trio

 * Black with red accents.

Super Retro Trio + Standard Colors

 * White with red accents.
 * Black with blue accents. - Seen somewhat less commonly

Special Edition Console

 * Joe & Mac - A Joe & Mac special edition combo pack was shipped with a special translucent blue Joe & Mac 3 in one game cartridge and a white and red Super Retro Trio. This package also included some Joe & Mac themed accessories. Official numbers for the special edition indicate 1,000 units were produced.

Fire Emblem Warriors/Objects/Dragon Vein

Dragon Veins are map features which can modify the battlefield significantly.

Typically this includes:
 * Making a river or canyon crossable by normal units.
 * Extinguishing a lava field, making it safe to cross.

Dragon Veins can only be accessed after capturing the fort where they are located.

Canadian Refugee Procedure/107 - Decision on Claim for Refugee Protection

IRPA Section 107: Decision on Claim for Refugee Protection
Section 107 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act reads: Decision on Claim for Refugee Protection

Decision 107 (1) The Refugee Protection Division shall accept a claim for refugee protection if it determines that the claimant is a Convention refugee or person in need of protection, and shall otherwise reject the claim.

Section 107(1): The Division shall accept a claim for refugee protection if it determines that the claimant is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protection
Section 107(1) of the IRPA states that the Division shall accept a claim for refugee protection if it determines that the claimant is a Convention refugee or person in need of protection. This language creates a right for those who meet the criteria to be so recognized. This tracks the language of the 1985 Rabbi Plaut report that led to the founding of the Immigration and Refugee Board, which noted that "declaring a claimant to be a refugee is not a privilege we grant, but rather a right we acknowledge." This was not always the conception of refugee protection embodied in Canadian legislation - prior to 1976, the refugee had no rights under Canadian law since the relief granted by the Immigration Appeal Board was discretionary in nature. See also: Canadian Refugee Procedure/The Board's inquisitorial mandate.

IRPA Section 107(2): No Credible Basis
No credible basis (2) If the Refugee Protection Division is of the opinion, in rejecting a claim, that there was no credible or trustworthy evidence on which it could have made a favourable decision, it shall state in its reasons for the decision that there is no credible basis for the claim.

A finding that a claim has no credible basis affects appeal rights to the RAD
A finding that a claimant has no credible basis prevents a claimant from appealing a decision to the RAD.

Where a claimant is self-represented, the panel should ensure that they understand what a no credible basis finding means during the hearing
The ordinary rule is that expressed by the Federal Court of Appeal to the effect that the Refugee Division is not required to give the claimant any special notice before it finds that there was "no credible basis" for the claim. However, in Olifant v. Canada, the court noted that the RPD has a positive duty to ensure that a self-represented applicant understands both the nature of the proceedings and the salient aspects of the hearing to be conducted. The court concluded that the RPD had not fulfilled this obligation:"Given the seriousness of all of the circumstances, taken together, it was unfair for the RPD to not take at least some positive steps to ensure he understood what it meant if his claim was found to have no credible basis. A careful reading of the transcript reveals that the Board did not take any positive measures to introduce the seriousness of what was to occur or explain the Minister’s Counsel would question him. Though the Board did ask if he had any questions about the process and determinative issues, it is in my view still the case that this was insufficient to ensure he understood the nature of the hearing and its salient aspects given he was an unsophisticated Applicant representing himself. Indeed, both the fact that Minister’s Delegate was present and would be participating in the manner they did (turning the matter into a far more adversarial one and rightly so on these facts), the no credible basis aspect and the implications thereof, are not things that the Applicant ought necessarily to have known. It would not take much for the RPD to ensure that he understood this – a simple check-in of “do you understand what these specific aspects of the hearing mean” or informing him of them at the outset of the hearing would suffice – but the failure to do so was, in my view, procedurally unfair."For more information on the Board's obligations with respect to self-represented claimants, see: Canadian Refugee Procedure/Counsel of Record.

IRPA Section 107.1: Manifestly unfounded claims
Manifestly unfounded 107.1 If the Refugee Protection Division rejects a claim for refugee protection, it must state in its reasons for the decision that the claim is manifestly unfounded if it is of the opinion that the claim is clearly fraudulent.

History of this provision
Provision in the legislation for differently processing manifestly founded claims have been in the Act since the 1976 Immigration Act. At that point, the guidelines used by the Refugee Status Advisory Committee created four categories of manifestly unfounded claims: 1) claims that presented no evidence of any of the five essential criteria of the definition; 2) claims where the evidence presented was so manifestly unreliable "that no reasonable person could believe it"; 3) claims made under Section 45 of the Act when the claimant had already submitted an in-status claim and the second claim presented no new information; and 4) claims made by the spouse of a rejected claimant when the claim was based solely on the rejected spouse's claim.

Wu Shuang Pu book for free
I would like to put the Chinese book "Wu Shuang Pu" on Wikibooks, this book is readable for free and downloadable for free on the digital library in Munich. Wu Shuang Pu has a page on Wikipedia. I think it is worth to do put this book on Wikibook, but I do not know how to make that page here. So I like to have some help. A link to the free downloadside you can find on the Dutch Wu Shuang Pu page of Wikipedia Arno Jacobs (discuss • contribs) 18:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Now unwanted boilerplate text
G'day Wikibooks Admins. I previously added the following boilerplate text to many of my sections: This to make it easy for me to cut and paste "'''" into each section. A few months ago, one of the admins deleted thousands of these boilerplates for me and more importantly amended the footnote at the end of the editing page to include my much used phrase. However, one page which was not cleaned up is: History_of_wireless_telegraphy_and_broadcasting_in_Australia/Editing/Notes This is the page that I cut and paste when creating a new biography, so each time I do so I add hundreds of these now un-needed comments. Would SKAS (some kind administrative soul) please run the bot to delete this unwanted boilerplate? If my newly created biographies could be cleaned up also, that would be much appreciated.

Epigraph
"Our hierarchical tendencies are older and all too often, they drive our intelligence – that is, they drive us to use our intelligence to try to dominate one another... Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we're as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.                                                                      -"

Published in April 1997 by Warner Books, Dawn by Octavia E. Butler is the first in the three-part Xenogenesis series, also known as “Lilith’s Brood.” The book was first published in 1987.

Author Biography
Born in Pasadena in 1947, Octavia E. Butler was a prolific female black American science fiction author who heavily featured afro-futurism and feminism in her writing. She was raised by her mother and grandmother, after her father’s death, and took on jobs that would allow her enough free time to write. Despite many rejections early on in her career, her literature has received some of the most prestigious literary awards, including the prestigious Hugo Award for her novelette Bloodchild and her short story “Speech Sounds”, an acknowledgement for best in science fiction of the year preceding the award. She also received Nebula Awards, which also recognizes exceptional work in the science fiction genre, for her aforementioned novelette, Bloodchild and her novel, Parable of The Talents. Butler was also the first writer to obtain a MacArthur Fellowship. A complete list of her awards and literature can be found on her website. Butler died in February 2006. It was only near the end of her life when her stories—focused as they were on feminism, global warming, racial and other social injustice—became more widely known and loved, as present society’s focus tilted towards these concerns. Today, her books, poems and essays are taught in schools.

Book Overview
Butler came from a Christian background, Baptist to be specific, during President Reagan’s term. Both of those influences are clear in the book Dawn. Butler tells the story of Lilith, akin to her biblical namesake, who is isolated from the human community in part because of a nuclear disaster—a real threat in the 1980s when the book was written. Inspired by the political affairs of Butler’s time, this speculative fiction hypothesizes how human folly (social hierarchy and a willingness to kill) could result in the annihilation of the human race. The threat of nuclear war is not unknown to the present and real world. Lilith struggles to find a sense of belonging with both humans and Oankali, creating the theme of isolation and community in the book. Dawn also presented subthemes such as consent, which humans were denied; transformation, the catalyst for the book’s conflict; violence, which starts and ends the book; power, which the Oankali held; and the chance for a new beginning, the Oankali’s gift to humanity. The story, foretelling a possible future for humanity, sans the alien intervention of course, warns that unless we make changes, we will destroy ourselves."'If they had been able to perceive and solve their problem, they might have been able to avoid destruction. Of course, they too would have to remember to reexamine themselves periodically.' -Jdhaya"

Analysis
Dawn tells the story, following the destruction of the Earth, of a woman saved by an alien species, the Oankali, for the purpose of ensuring both the aliens’ and humanity’s survival. The Oankali rely on interspecies breeding, through genetic manipulation, for the continuation of their people. They were overdue for such a transaction when they came upon the humans who needed help restoring the Earth that they had made inhabitable through nuclear warfare. The protagonist's name, Lilith, refers to a prominent character in the Judeo-Christian creation story. Lilith was the first woman created and refused to submit to and procreate with the first man, Adam. Her nature is debated. Some scholars [bS1] present her as angelic for her strength, autonomy and marriage to an archangel, while others think she was demonic for refusing Adam to instead produce demon heirs with a fallen angel and hating the children of Adam and Eve – humans. A reader can argue which version they think the protagonist plays in Dawn. Like Pentateuch-Lilith, she consorts with and will produce children with non-humans – the aliens. Both representations of Lilith are locked out of Eden (in the case of Dawn, the new Earth and home of the humans), and she becomes the mother of a non-human species.[bS2]  One can likewise argue whether the Oankali (aliens) are evil or not. Some readers may interpret them as demons because they take humans hostage, deny them their God-given free will and seduce them from what is natural to them. Other readers may see them as angels because they save humanity and give them back their Earth. I find both to be true in part. The Oankali are not entirely altruistic in that they provided aid because they need something in return. They did, however, save humanity from genocide. They provide a trade: doing to humans what we have historically done to other humans and animals, i.e., eugenics, lab testing and the involuntary detainment of the “insane.”

The theme of isolation and community is prominent in the story. Dawn’s Lilith is first isolated by the loss of her human family on Earth and then completely isolated in her first alien quarters. It almost drives her mad because humans are social beings, as Lilith tries to explain to the Oankali on numerous occasions. Lilith is then welcomed into the Oankali society and given a new community, but she is still isolated from humans, resulting in new distress. When she is given her desire of a human community, she is then separated physically from the Oankali and emotionally from the humans. She is no longer quite human, but neither is she Oankali. She fits nowhere. Community is further presented when the awakened humans immediately form cliques based on shared politics. By the end of the book, Lilith is forcefully impregnated by the Oankali with another human’s sperm. The biological father of her baby is named Joseph, one of the humans that Lilith guided through orientation for a return to Earth and the Oankali’s second choice to be leader of the awakened humans. He later became her lover, ally and the second human, after Lilith, to undergo genetic modification. This pregnancy might give her the opportunity to create a new family/community in which her genetic uniqueness does not isolate her, as the child would be genetically and biologically similar to her. At the very least, the child would be more like her than either Oankali or humans could ever be and, growing up in this new world, will be much better assimilated with the Oankoli that Lilith is.

Xenophobia and xenophilia are reoccurring subthemes in Dawn that cause both segregation and creation of community. Fear of “the other” (xenophobia) has been a major cause of segregation amongst humans. This prejudice is demonstrated in the awakened humans’ visceral reaction of terror towards the Oankali:   ''“I don’t understand why the sight of you should scare me so,” Joseph said. He did not sound frightened. “You don’t look that threatening. Just… very different.” “Different is threatening to most species,” Nikanj answered. “Different is dangerous. It might kill you. That was true to your animal ancestors and your nearest animal relatives. And it’s true for you.”''

– Nikanj                                                                     - For all their social superiority and mission to find and interbreed with beings who are “other,” even the Oankali demonstrate xenophobia through their initial fear of humans. This might suggest that segregation of human communities as a result of racism will be a difficult issue for the real world to overcome. Xenophilia is likewise present throughout the book in the humans’ eventual however reluctant desire for intimacy with the aliens and the Oankali’s primary motive being interspecies breeding for the creation of a single human-Oankoli species.

Humans are portrayed as being both a cancer to the Earth and themselves. Butler, through the Oankali, points out that, in order for our species to survive, we must evolve away from social hierarchy and to come together, both culturally and biologically. To that end, is it not interesting that the Oankali chose a Black femme to restart the world, one of the lowest strati of the present social hierarchy of today’s society? To the left, is one of the earliest representations of Lilith. In this, the famous painter, John Collier depicts her, as do most artists’ renditions, as white. Further, Lilith is also queer because she has sexual relations with a non-human being that is neither male nor female (gender-neutral). A leader of humanity who is queer, a person of color, and female would certainly be a social reset. I think the Oankali focused on individuals of minorities (Lilith and Joseph) to lead the new race of humanity because having the rescued humans look towards such characters as their leader might prevent the Caucasian history of racial prejudice to continue. The Oankali chose Lilith, not just because of her will to live and ability to adapt, but because she would be less likely to perpetuate intolerance towards minorities and people who are “other”—white male supremacy.

This then presents another important subtheme of the text, transformation. That is, transformation into a single community where there is no more alien versus human, or nation against nation but one new cohesive species. The premise of the book is that humanity, because of a genetic predisposition towards hierarchical separation and willingness to kill, destroys itself. This acts as catalyst for the Oankali to rescue the surviving humans with the intention of modifying both themselves and humans to create something new. The only way for either species to survive was to merge and become a new people. On page 50, the Oankali, Jdahya said, “Your people will change. Your young will be more like ours and ours more like you.” Throughout the book, Lilith and later Joseph undergo genetic adjustments to make them into something less like their original selves, creating a small and therefore very isolated and shunned set of people (pg. 176). The Oankali explain to Lilith that there were characteristics intrinsic to human nature that ensured their demise and that the only way to prevent another apocalypse is to move beyond this instinct. This lesson seems to be the Octavia Butler’s inspiration for writing the book. Dawn tells of an end to humanity if it continues its current path of war and segregation created by intolerance. The only recourse then is evolution. On page 32 of Dawn, Jdaya, an Oankali, says to Lilith, "You'll begin again. We'll put you in areas that are clean of radioactivity and history. You will become something other than you were.” The Oankali-human alliance would leave their new species free of the human hierarchical tendencies that lead to strife between peoples.

Critical Thinking Questions

 * How does the presentation of themes like xenophobia in this book relate to racism and other kinds of separatism and animosity between groups of people in the real world? Does this make you view the effects of prejudice with new perspective?

 * The book acknowledges that practices like eugenics, involuntary sterilization of and genetic testing on people of color have been practiced by humans, and yet the awakened were horrified when the Oankali decided to do the same to them. How do you think that our othering of minority groups allows us to validate practices like these?

 * As in most of her books, Octavia Butler pushes boundaries of sexuality and gender, longstanding causes of ostracism. When Butler wrote Dawn, ideas like gender non-conformity (GNC) and gender non-binarism were neither well known nor widely accepted in our predominantly heteronormative society. In Dawn, Octavia presents the gender neutral Ooloi and presents the humans with a new world where they must accept this gender diversity as a part of their new social order. As gender non-conformity and gender fluidity become more noticeable in the 21st century, how has the book impacted the way you interact with people of non-normative genders and sexuality and whether you welcome or ostracize them?
 * Octavia Butler does an amazing job at creating complex characters. Do you perceive the Oankali as savior or jailer, good or evil? Do you think that creating community is always the best goal? For example, were the feelings of animosity and betrayal expressed by the characters that rejected Lilith justifiable or understandable? What kind of barriers might exist in creating a positive, healthy community?
 * In terms of social norms, human and Oankoli society are polar opposites. While the Oaskoli are not perfect, their society is built on harmony, empathy and equality. Does their culture present any solutions for the human condition?
 * In the book, humans were locked up in solitary confinement, in their pods and cells during interrogation, and in “gen pop”. Later they will be further controlled by the Oankali on Earth, for their own good. In all of these cases, the Oankloli were in charge, which created a divide of controlled captive and jailer. How has the human response to this captivity made you think of incarceration and the prison system where “criminals” are held apart from the rest of society? What, if anything, does this isolation and rigid control suggest about the potential impact of the prison system and the relationship it creates between prisoners, law enforcement officers and the rest of the public without proper rehabilitation of released prisoners?

 * Without the intervention of aliens, how can humanity overcome its inclination to isolate themselves into individual communities based on every difference we can find between us? How might we create a cohesive and cooperative community? How do we overcome intolerance of the “other” – xenophobia?

Extension Activity
Choose one of the following:

 * 1) Identify marginalized people within your community and find ways to make them feel involved with and cared for by the wider community. An easy place to start could be volunteering for engagement activities in a nursing home or at a food pantry within your immediate community
 * 2) Become an activist through outreach. People in detention facilities and prisons are isolated from the rest of society. Consider participating in efforts that help individuals like these feel less alone. Black and Pink is one prison abolition group with a focus on LGTBQ and HIV-positive inmates that enables volunteers to become pen pals to the incarcerated, offering emotional support.

Cookbook:Frosting and Icing

Frostings and icings are types of sweet, smooth toppings generally used to coat a variety of desserts.

Terminology
Generally speaking, the terms frosting and icing are used interchangeably in common speech and by some cooks. However, a distinction can be made, usually based on the consistency—frosting tends to be thicker, fluffier, and more opaque, while icing tends to be thinner with a lower fat content. Additionally, glazes are very thin, often shiny coatings that are poured over or brushed onto desserts.

Frosting

 * Buttercream
 * Cream cheese frosting
 * Foam frosting
 * Seven-minute frosting

Icing

 * Flat/water icing
 * Royal icing
 * Fondant icing
 * Fudge icing

Glaze

 * Ganache
 * Mirror glaze

Use
Frostings and icings have a range of uses, including protecting desserts from drying out, contributing flavor and texture, and adding aesthetic value. They can also be used as fillings, especially when flavored. Be sure to pair the appropriate coating to a dessert—heavy with heavy and light with light.

Cookbook:Kale and Garlic Pasta

Kale and garlic pasta is a dish of cooked greens with chili flakes and pasta. The blanching and long cooking of the greens with garlic reduces the bitterness, and this dish can therefore be good for those who do not like the flavor of raw greens. The kale can be replaced or supplemented with other similar greens (see variations below).

Ingredients

 * 4 tbsp butter
 * ⅓ cup olive oil
 * 1 head garlic, cloves peeled and sliced thin
 * 1 pinch chile flakes (or to taste)
 * 1–2 bunches kale, deboned and cut into bite-sized pieces
 * Salt
 * 1 lb dry linguine
 * ½ cup finely-grated Parmesan cheese

Procedure

 * 1) Add butter and olive oil to a large frying pan. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
 * 2) Add the garlic and chili flakes to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is softened. If the garlic starts to brown, turn off the heat until time to add the kale.
 * 3) Cook the kale in a large pot of very salty boiling water for about 4 minutes. It will turn bright green. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened kale to the pan with the garlic. Try to leave as much water behind as possible.
 * 4) Cook the kale and garlic over medium heat, stirring, until most or all of the liquid evaporates. The greens should become very dark and soft. Add a splash of water or olive oil if they stick to the pan too much.
 * 5) Boil the pasta in the same salted water as the kale. When al dente, use tongs to transfer the pasta to the hot pan with the greens.
 * 6) Toss the pasta and greens together. If the pan is too small, transfer everything to a large bowl and continue tossing until the pasta is well-coated.
 * 7) Add the grated Parmesan, and continue tossing until it is melted and well-incorporated.
 * 8) Serve hot.

Variations

 * Substitute collard, beet, or any other hardy greens for the kale.
 * Toss in some diced or cherry tomatoes along with the cheese at the end.
 * Adjust the amount of cheese as desired.
 * Omit the greens and reduce the oil for a simple garlic and Parmesan pasta dish.

Cookbook:Chile Flakes

| Herbs and Spices

Chile flakes—also known as chili flakes, red pepper flakes, or crushed red pepper —are a spice derived from dried and crushed red chile peppers. It should not be confused with either chili powder or chile powder.

Characteristics
As the name implies, chile flakes are not fully ground, instead consisting of small chips or flakes. Some varieties, especially those labeled "crushed red pepper" or "red pepper flakes" may also contain the chile seeds along with the flakes. Chile flakes can also be made from either a single chile variety or from a blend —jalapeño, serrano, and cayenne are common varieties included in blends. Gochugaru, Aleppo, and Sichuan are other specialty flake varieties. The exact heat level and flavor profile will depend on the specific variety of chile used.

Selection and storage
Like all dried spices, chile flakes should be kept in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. The flavor will gradually diminish over time, so buy only as much as you will use in a few months. They should smell pungent.

Use
Chile flakes have a variety of applications. One common use is as a topping for pizzas, pastas, and salads, where they add both heat and aesthetically pleasing red speckles.

Substitution
If you can't access ready-made chile flakes, you can make your own by crushing or grinding dried red chile peppers. Since different chile varieties have different heat levels and flavor profiles, you'll want to add a little at a time when substituting, tasting to get the correct heat level.

Programming in LOLGraphics 3.4/Graphics in LOLGraphics

Introduction
So, in the previous chapter you have learned how to make cli programs in LOLGraphics, and hopefully have gotten an appreciation of where the first 3 letters in the name of the programming language have come from. In this chapter you will learn the graphics portion of LOLGraphics, and in the next chapter, we will combine everything we have learned and make a simple game in LOLGraphics.

P.S. The “8462 demo“ will be in this chapter, the game in the next chapter will be more advanced.

Drawing a cheeseburger
We shouldn’t forget that this programming language was inspired by LOLCODE which in turn was inspired by the LOLCAT memes. One of the most famous of them is a cat with the text “I Can Has Cheezburger?” (lolspeak for Can I have a cheeseburger). Therefore, it only makes sense to include in LOLGraphics a command that draws a cheeseburger on the screen. If you write the following code, you will see a cheeseburger 🍔 on the top left of the screen:

HAI 3.4 0 100 IM IN UR CODE EXECUTIN UR KOMANDZ I CAN HAS A CHEEZBURGER? IM OUTTA UR CODE

And here’s the output of this program:

Now this is all interesting, but what if we want to draw cheeseburgers in different places in the screen, not just the top left?

Coordinates in LOLGraphics
In order to customize the location of the cheeseburger, we need to use LOLGraphics coordinates system, so first we need to understand how it works. It will be intuitive for people who have worked with graphics in languages other than scratch, but not for others.

The top left comer of the screen is the point (0,0) aka x=0, and y=0. The positive direction of the x axis is right, and the positive direction of the y axis is down. The negative axis of the x axis is left, and the negative axis of the y axis is up.

This might be confusing for people not accustomed with programming that are used from Mathematics that the positive direction of the y axis is up. However, in computers it’s down.

Customizing the location of the cheeseburger
The command   does not accept any parameters. How then are we accepted to tell the interpreter where we want to draw the cheeseburgers? Using the command  ! This command doesn’t affect the status of cheeseburgers already drawn on the screen (there can be as many cheeseburgers as you like) but only cheeseburgers that will be drawn after it. The command can accept as arguments numbers or two-byte variables.

The following code will draw 2 cheeseburgers on the screen, one on the top left, and one on the coordinates (200,200):

HAI 3.4 0 100 IM IN UR CODE EXECUTIN UR KOMANDZ I CAN HAS A CHEEZBURGER? PLZ DELIVR MAH CHEEZBURGERS 2 200 200 I CAN HAS A CHEEZBURGER? IM OUTTA UR CODE

Now sometimes you might want to clear what was drawn on the screen and start from scratch. Thats why the command  exists.

8462 demo
The 8462 demo is similar to a WASD demo, only using the numpad. It is included in the editor as an example program. Now we have learned all the things necessary to make it. Here’s the source code:

HAI 2.5 0 1 IM IN UR CODE EXECUTIN UR KOMANDZ I HAS A TWO BYTE DAT IZ CALLED X I HAS A TWO BYTE DAT IZ CALLED Y I HAS A ONE BYTE DAT IZ CALLED BUTTON PLZ SET TWO BYTE X 150 PLZ SET TWO BYTE Y 100 PLZ DELIVR MAH CHEEZBURGERS 2 X Y I CAN HAS A CHEEZBURGER?

Scrolling background
Using what you learned above it’s possible to easily make a scrolling background. Such a demo is included in the LOLGraphics editor as an example program. However for this, you need an image that is larger than the screen so that you will actually have to scroll through. It’s possible to load that image from a file (you will learn how in this chapter), however the example program uses a very large image that is included in LOLGraphics. Can be drawn using the command.
