Nolofinwëan week is starting in 2 weeks!

Below are some inspirational, nonmandatory prompts for your creations. These suggestions are formatted as questions because they are meant simply to inspire you. Featured timeframes and characters can be mixed and matched in whatever way or disrespected completely.

Day 1: Noontide of Valinor - Darkening | Fingolfin | Anairë

Canon offers only hints about the Noontide of Valinor, a pre-canonical era that established many relationships and events we see unfolding in the Silmarillion. How did Fingolfin and Anairë meet? What kind of childhood experiences did Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel and Argon have? What was their relationship with the families of Fëanor and Finarfin? Were Fingolfin and Fëanor always at odds? How did the interference of Melkor disrupt these relationships? What events developed after Fëanor's banishment to Formenos and Fingolfin's rule in Tirion? How do you envision the Darkening of Valinor?

Day 2: Exile - Arrival to Beleriand | Fingon | Argon | Elenwë

The Flight of the Noldor is a breaking moment, a crisis that brings about some of the most challenging moments for Fingolfin and his family. Can you illustrate the argument that brought about the decision to leave Valinor? What effect did Fingon's participation at Alqualondë have? What were the relationships between the hosts of Fingolfin and Finrod on the Helcaraxë? What was Argon's or Elenwë's story before their passing? How do you interpret the rising of the Moon and the Sun with the host's arrival to Middle-earth? What about that glorious moment when the host challenges Morgoth at his gates?

Day 3: Mithrim - The Long Peace | Turgon | Aredhel | Eöl

The early days of Mithrim solidified the House of Fingolfin as the next line of Noldorin Kings, followed by a 200-year-long siege of Angband. What were the early political relationships between the hosts of Fingolfin and the Fëanorian followers? What prompted Turgon to build Vinyamar and then Gondolin? What was Aredhel's life like in Gondolin before leaving? What kind of new friendships were developed during the Long Peace? Did any reconciliations take place? What were the Nolofinwëan fortresses like during peaceful times? What was the Nolofinwëan relationship like with the local Sindar Elves?

The Battle of Sudden Flame brings another turmoil with the death of Fingolfin and the rising of Fingon as the new High King. This is the beginning of a turbulent period that will culminate with the sinking of Beleriand. How do you imagine these battles? What is your reading of Fingon's Kingship? How do you envision the relationships between the House of Fingolfin and their mortal allies, the House of Hador? What kind of culture did Gondolin develop in its isolation? What brought about the strained relationship between Idril and Maeglin, and how did it affect loyalties in Gondolin? What happened to Gondolin's refugees? What was Idril and Tuor's final fate? How do you imagine Sirion and its multicultural population?

Day 5: Lindon - War of the Ring | Elrond | Elros | Gil-galad | Celebrían

The War of Wrath destroys Beleriand, but the line of Fingolfin goes on through his descendants. How do you imagine the begging of a new life in Lindon? What is your reading of the parentage of Gil-galad? What was his kingship like? What was the relationship between the Peredhil twins? What led to their decision to choose different fates? What kind of culture developed in Lindon, Númenór, Rivendell or other settlements ruled by Nolofinwëan descendants? How did the events from the first age affect relationships in the second and third?

Day 6: Fourth Age Middle-earth - Return to Valinor | Númenórean descendants | Peredhil descendants

The Fourth Age signified the end of the Elven era in Middle-earth and the end of Tolkien's canon. What about your own ideas for this time frame? How does Gondor change under Aragorn and Arwen's rule? Who are their children? What kind of culture develops as the Elves leave Middle-earth? What about the Elves who return or are reborn in Valinor? Can they integrate easily into the place they once called home? Is Valinor even a physical place?

Day 7: AUs, Canon divergences, Freeform | Nolofinwëan OCs | Canon ghosts | Earlier canonical characters

This is a day to let the muses run wild with canon. Do you want to go down deep rabbit holes on obscure canonical details discarded in the published Silmarillion? Have a Nolofinwëan original character that needs a space to shine? What if Fingolfin won the battle against Morgoth? Who was Erien, daughter of Fingon? What if Idril returned Maeglin's love? Who was Elros' wife? What if Elrond decided to choose a mortal fate? Who would the Nolofinwëans be in modern times?

Tips to Build a Dream Home

Building a home is not at all a simple task. We have to notice some important points before getting into the construction. Here are some tips to build the perfect home.

Create a wishlist. We should create a list of two types: one is mandatory, which is a must-have for your family. You can't neglect that. Another one is nonmandatory, which is your desire, but we should neglect it. This list will help you save money.

Alternative options We should prepare some alternative swaps for some elements. There are a few things we could change less expensively. This could be an interior product that looks far better than the expensive one.

Customised layout A layout should be customized in construction; we should alter the plan to save space and money. changing the floor size and ceiling height, modifying the size of rooms, etc.

Choose a builder. The builder should be assured of the property and its amenities. They are very clear about the documentation process.

@nosygay yeah! i had veeeeery small amounts of html in my last year of elementary school (8th grade, at the age of 14). we also had little bits of c++ and python in late elementary. as for high school, i had python in all years with those computer classes, and a tiny smidge of c++ before the teacher realized we were utterly hopeless. as for video editing, the teacher had us download windows movie maker to our own devices in the 2nd year of high school, a few years after it was discontinued. it was super late in the semester tho, so all we got was some nonmandatory project

my elementary school also had a (nonmandatory, and it wasnt a part of those computer classes) lego robotics course that i also took, but it wasn't graded or anything. i cant remember if it was paid or not, but... yeah, it was a thing, and i took it too, it was pretty fun

How Head Gasket can Save You Time, Stress, and Money.

This is due to most parts of the gasket can't be witnessed without dissembling the aspects of the engine. Coupled with this, the visual inspections isn't going to show the head gasket leak, and for this reason, as being the owner of the vehicle, you need to know how to prevent blown head gasket. ments of gaskets On this time zone was which they operate without the need of have to have for any retorque Procedure about the cylinder head bolts. Retorquing nevertheless is specified on some overseas-made engines but is essentially nonexistent in the present American-created engines. While this may well not seem a major requirement, it is actually indeed important, Considering that the retorque operation greatly aids gasket efficiency. 1975Present Zone E. Graphite facings turned well-liked On this time zone. Graphite has fantastic sealability and leisure Houses and significant warmth resistance. One of the more recent constructions gets rid of the perforated Main and makes use of an unbroken metal Main to which an adhesive is used for bonding the facings (Fig. twenty). This laminated gasket has become adopted on lots of the more challenging sealing apps. Determine 4 The still left-hand sketch exhibits the final preloads in 50 percent the bolts in the joint tightened by a three-go star-sequence treatment. Once again, elastic interactions have caused huge variation while in the magnitude of the residual preloads while in the bolts (this time an somewhere around five:1 ratio in between greatest and minimal forces). many thermal working cycles in the interim. Staff security and plant machines safety need to also be primary issues when making use of in-support repair service technologies. Numerous dangers are encountered that might not be apparent on the untrained or illtrained technician accomplishing in-provider repairs. Dangerous substances, superior stress, significant temperature, and seriously blowing leaks are merely some of the hazards encountered by in-assistance restore experts. Most of the time, each and every in-service repair service is exclusive and should be planned accordingly in order to reach a significant degree of achievement at sealing the leak and to make certain the leak will stay sealed even though adverse functioning situations may possibly exist. To handle effectively the various prospective operating ailments encountered in field it's important that different layouts for clamps and enclosures be available. full gasket set . The initial strategy [twelve] employs fifteen dimensionless parameters that aid within the calculation from the functioning and gasket seating moments used to estimate stresses in flange and connecting hub. It absolutely was demonstrated in [twelve] that specified simplifications tend not to greatly lessen the accuracy of the strategy; hence, the original fifteen parameters can be lessened to at least one if the following assumptions are made: The radial displacement from the flange ring for the junction and the consequences of internal stress to the flange are neglected; also, a uniform strain distribution is assumed for gasket seating. The adoption of standardized performance testing by national requirements bodies such as the ASME and ASTM is witnessed as The most crucial stage in advertising reliable qualification methods for purposeful elevated-temperature gasket effectiveness tests within field. Because the mitigation of leaks and emissions become ever far more important and as gasket producers carry on their quest for enhanced merchandise and introduce tomorrow's Superior technological know-how, the use of countrywide qualification benchmarks is critical. 13.one. ASME/ASTM Code Revision An ASME Particular Performing Team (SWG/BFJ) is Doing work to put into practice gasket constants derived from hundreds of PVRCsponsored gasket checks. A new nonmandatory appendix will seem in Part VIII, Div. one of the ASME Code, that will parallel the current Appendix 2, and at some point swap it. now be injected with sealant to fill all the flange hole region and all bolt holes also. When appropriately injected, compacted, and cured, the sealant seals from the leak. Tongue clamps are a favourite among the designers and experts due to their relieve of set up and high achievements rate. 4.three. Essential Substance Features for Processing and/or Assembly There are a selection of sheet product properties crucial to the fabricator for processing sheets into gaskets and/or with the close user who assembles the gasketed joint: amounts of dust and slivers, Software wear and existence, scuff resistance, breaking toughness, and dealing with traits. four.3.one. Dust and Sliver Quantities In the course of blanking in the sheet material, not enough dust is desired, considering that dust will cause numerous troubles through processing. 4.three. Adaptable Graphite Graphite has become the two crystalline types of the ingredient carbon, the opposite getting diamond. The variations among both of these sorts is discussed by their crystal structure, as shown in Fig. twelve. Graphite is made up of layer planes of hexagonally organized carbon atoms, which make up a so-identified as plane structure. The circumstance that these planes slide versus each other describes the softness and superb lubricity along with the mechanical Homes of the substance. The hardness and stability of diamond is because of its threedimensional bond. Provide quick disassembly and cleanup Service deals give numerous purposes on flanges of any size The decision to utilize anaerobic vs . silicone FIP gasket material involves a number of problems. Anaerobics are usually utilized on rigid or rigid joints, for example cast aluminum or iron. Regular purposes include things like pumps, engines, and transmissions. and turn around the engine, enable it to idle until it comes to functioning temperature. Test the new head gasket, so there won't be any leaks. one. An external coolant or oil leaking correct in the seam between the cylinder head along with the engine block. This is an indication that the automobile is under-going head gasket failure or maybe the cracked block. So, you might want to check for the cracks and warping of your cylinder head. head gaskets based upon beater-addition elements. This material is additionally extremely suited to higher-volume OE purposes, the place the substantial cost of tooling may be justified and exactly where only extremely very low leakage is authorized. PTFE is really a highly chemical-resistant resin polymer; therefore, it ought to have been a exceptional gasket product. Regrettably, in its unmodified kind it's got minimal resilience towards surface area anxiety and temperature, Therefore leading to unacceptable creep resistance. Gaskets fabricated from PTFE ended up made use of only in more unique purposes or as envelopes for standard compressed-fiber gaskets. A further style of seal that is definitely exterior into the engine, but 1 related to sealing exhaust fuel, may be the exhaust-pipe ring seal Situated amongst the exhaust header plus the tail pipe.

Lizzo sued over sexual harassment and hostile work environment allegations

Three former dancers accuse Lizzo of weight-shaming, sexual harassment

Aug. 1, 2023, 8:37 AM MDT

By Diana Dasrath and Tim Stelloh

LOS ANGELES — Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have accused the singer of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed Tuesday. They also allege that she pressured one of them to touch a nude performer at an Amsterdam club and subjected the group to an “excruciating” audition after leveling false accusations that they were drinking on the job.

A week later, after a show in Paris, Lizzo invited her dancers to a club so “they would be able to learn something or be inspired by the performance,” the suit says. “What Lizzo failed to mention when inviting the dancers to this performance was that it was a nude cabaret bar.”

The dancers accused Lizzo — a performer known for embracing body positivity and celebrating her physique — of calling attention to one dancer’s weight gain and later berating, then firing, that dancer after she recorded a meeting because of a health condition.

The suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and provided to NBC News by the plaintiffs’ law firm, also accuses the captain of Lizzo’s dance team of proselytizing to other performers and deriding those who had premarital sex while sharing lewd sexual fantasies, simulating oral sex and publicly discussing the virginity of one of the plaintiffs.

The suit does not say if Lizzo knew about the allegations linked to the dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, but the plaintiffs believed the singer was aware of their complaints about her, according to their lawyer, Ron Zambrano.

The suit names Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, her production company and Quigley as defendants. In addition to accusations of a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, the suit brings claims for religious and racial harassment, false imprisonment, interference with prospective economic advantage and other allegations. Not every claim was brought against each defendant.

“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” Zambrano said in a statement.

The suit accuses Lizzo of calling attention to the dancer’s weight after an appearance at South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival. The singer and her choreographer later told the dancer, Arianna Davis, that she seemed “less committed” to her role — a comment the suit describes as a “thinly veiled” concern about Davis’ weight.

Representatives for Lizzo did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Quigley did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Efforts to reach Lizzo’s production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc., were unsuccessful.

Davis and another former dancer, Crystal Williams, began performing with Lizzo after competing on her Amazon reality show, “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls,” in 2021, according to the suit. The dancers were later fired.

The third, Noelle Rodriguez, was hired the same year after performing in the video “Rumors,” the suit says. Rodriguez resigned earlier this year.

Amsterdam club accusations

The trip to the Amsterdam strip club, Bananenbar, happened after a performance in the city earlier this year. The suit states that Lizzo’s afterparties were routine and nonmandatory — but alleges that those who attended were favored by the singer and had greater job security.

At the club, Lizzo allegedly “began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas,” the suit says. “Lizzo then turned her attention to Ms. Davis and began pressuring Ms. Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women.”

Davis declined, according to the suit, and Lizzo allegedly led a chant goading her to do so. After Davis declined three more times, the chant “grew louder and more strident, demanding a visibly uncomfortable Ms. Davis to engage with the performer.”

When Davis eventually acquiesced and briefly touched the performer, the group burst into laughter, the suit says. Afterward, Lizzo allegedly pressed a member of her security staff to get on stage and began yelling, “take it off,” according to the suit.

“Plaintiffs were aghast with how little regard Lizzo showed for the bodily autonomy of her employees and those around her, especially in the presence of many people whom she employed,” the suit says.

The suit described the performance as “artful,” but the plaintiffs were “shocked that Lizzo would conceal the nature of the event from them, robbing them of the choice not to participate.”

Harassment claim

The racial harassment claim is linked to what the suit describes as comments “charged with racial and fat-phobic animus" that were made by touring company employees.

In one instance, the former dancers asked to be compensated for their downtime at a rate 50% of their weekly pay, according to the suit. An accountant allegedly responded to the request by offering 25% and scolding them for being “unacceptable and disrespectful.”

“Only the dance cast — comprised of full-figured women of color — were ever spoken to in this manner,” the suit states.

The religious harassment allegation is connected to Quigley, the dance captain who also worked as a judge on Lizzo’s reality show. According to the suit, she preached her Christian beliefs and “took every opportunity to proselytize to any and all in her presence regardless of protestations.”

After discovering that Davis was a virgin, Quigley discussed the subject in interviews and posted about it on social media, the suit says. And when cast members asked her to stop pressuring Rodriguez — whom Quigley regarded as a “non-believer,” according to the suit — about her faith, Quigley responded: “No job and no one will stop me from talking about the Lord.”

Dancers dismissed

Two dancers were fired in April and May. According to the suit, Williams lost her job April 26, days after she spoke up at a meeting in which she challenged an assertion from Lizzo that the dancers were drinking before performances.

The day before, Lizzo had told the group that they would have to audition again, a move that prompted what the suit described as an “excruciating” 12-hour rehearsal.

If Lizzo was dissatisfied with their performances, the suit alleges, the dancers would be fired and sent home.

During the rehearsal, Davis was so fearful she’d lose her job if she went to the bathroom, she soiled her pants. She was given a see-through outfit with no undergarments to finish the performance, the suit says.

When Lizzo raised the issue again the following day, Williams responded, saying the dancers didn’t drink, the suit says. The singer then allegedly offered what the suit describes as a mocking reply: “Well if you’re not, then good for y’all.”

Five days later, on April 26, Lizzo’s tour manager fired Williams in a hotel lobby, the suit says. The manager attributed the termination to budget cuts, said the suit, which noted that no one else was fired.

Rodriguez complained to the manager about the decision to publicly fire Williams — a move that Lizzo “repeatedly” raised with the dancers during an April 27 meeting during which she told the group that she had “eyes and ears everywhere,” according to the suit.

Davis recorded the April 27 meeting because she suffered from an eye condition that sometimes left her disoriented in stressful situations, the suit says. Days later, Lizzo held an emergency meeting and had security employees confiscate dancers’ phones, the suit states.

“Lizzo became furious, hurling expletives at the group and stated that she was going to go around the room, person-by-person until someone told Lizzo who made the recording,” the suit says.

Davis acknowledged recording the meeting, saying said she wanted to have a copy of Lizzo’s performance notes, the suit says. When Davis said she hadn’t meant any harm — and that she’d deleted the video — Lizzo allegedly responded: “There is nothing you can say to make me believe you.”

“Ms. Quigley and Lizzo then took turns berating Ms. Davis,” the suit says. “After castigating Ms. Davis, Lizzo fire Ms. Davis on the spot.”

Before Lizzo left the meeting, Rodriguez told her that she felt disrespected and would resign, the suit says. Lizzo responded by “cracking her knuckles, balling her fists” and using an expletive to tell Rodriguez she was “lucky,” the suit states.

As Rodriguez left, the suit says, Lizzo raised both her middle fingers and yelled a slur.

The suit alleges false imprisonment against Lizzo’s production company because a member of her security detail allegedly forced Davis to remain in the room after the meeting ended so he could search her phone for the video.

The suit does not specify a dollar amount for damages that cover emotional distress including unpaid wages, loss of earnings and attorney’s fees.

In the meantime, Lizzo continues to inspire fans. In a recent clip circulating on social media, the singer can be seen telling a young woman attending a concert in Australia how beautiful and special she is — and how she “could be the greatest dancer in the world.”

Speaking to the fan, who said she had been bullied online, Lizzo said: “The words that we say have a long-lasting effect on people.”

From Wiki:

"Filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison released a statement supporting the dancers. The director traveled with Lizzo in 2019 for her documentary but dropped out of the project after being treated with disrespect by the singer. Allison wrote, "I witnessed how arrogant, self-centered, and unkind she is...reading these reports made me realize how dangerous of a situation it was."

If true, Lizzo has likely been this way for years. Her music label let her continue abusing employees for years.

We did it! I’m very excited to welcome all of these new characters and to start seeing them on the dash, an acceptance post will be up in a jiffy. I made this little group unsure if anyone would be into it and it has been so exciting to see it reach its goal for acceptances not even one week after it opened for applications.

FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS we will be open for plotting, memes, and I will drop the first (nonmandatory) task. This is so everyone has time to set up and send in their accounts. We will be open for interactions on Tuesday at 1PM EST / 12PM CST / 10AM PST / 6PM GMT.

For character memes, the main will post two or three, reblogging them indicates you are accepting and sending them out. Once we’re open for interactions, memes will all be put on pause until our meme Fridays, at which point you may answer and send in memes again (and the main will post a few more) until Sunday, which will be our regular meme schedule.

If you have not joined the OOC discord yet then please do so! Otherwise, welcome to Boston. 🖤

Ethics of Slavery

Google Images.

A black man lynched by a white mob was never considered immoral. He was probably threatening a white woman or stealing something - a justification that was completely valid in the 19thand 20th century. (1)The distinction between a black person and a slave was blurred, so the laws governing slaves were applicable to every African American. These laws were called the Slave Codes that were mainly created to restrict freedoms of any black person in America, free or enslaved. (3) The purpose of these laws were to protect the white man’s investment. Slaves were not humans, they were property. They were essential to the capitalist economy. Slaves were tortured and whipped to ensure they worked even more in less time. These violent tactics increased the amount of cotton picked by an enslaved person by 400% in the 19th century. (3) The slavery economy maximized profits from the cotton trade, until the US was one of the leading economies in the world.

The infamous case of William Ellison Jr. illustrates how slavery was an integral part of the economy. William Ellison Jr. was born into slavery on a plantation near Winnsboro, South Carolina. He was freed by his master in his mid-twenties and became one of the wealthiest cotton gin maker. He collected this wealth by not only being a slave-owner, but a slave breeder. Despite being a former slave and a person of colour, Ellison violently mistreated his slaves and secretly sold their babies to markets. (4) Ellison probably never considered himself as unethical, but rather a successful businessman.

In Aldo Leopold’s Land Ethic, he defines the term “ethic” in two senses. Philosophically, ethics simply encompasses acceptable social conduct; however, ecologically, ethics are limitations on the freedom of action. (5) In the slave economy, there were no ethics extended to enslaved persons. There were also no ethics extended to land, which remains true in the 21st century. As of this moment, we regard land as property and nothing else. Land includes the soil, the water, plants, insects, animals, and every natural resource that arises from the earth. Most members of the land community have zero economic value, which is why they continue to be degraded. The land ethic reflects the existence of an ecological conscience in a society and changes the role of humans from masters to members of the land community. It’s difficult to understand why the land community has innate value because we haven’t adopted the Land Ethic yet. Similarly, it was difficult for William Ellison to understand why slaves should ever be treated humanely, when enslaved persons were considered sub-human.

The Slave Codes and the current ethical mindset towards land reveal several commonalities. One of the clauses of the Codes restricted movement of slaves outside their plantations. Economic development drives and restricts wildlife to smaller areas of land. Secondly, the codes prevented slaves from gathering food away from their plantations. This law is essentially prohibition on self-sustenance. Ecosystems are not allowed to recover until they are self-sufficient. Thirdly, as slavery became more profitable, the rights of slaves were further restricted from education, trade, and even marriage. Similarly as meat and dairy products became more profitable and the industry expanded at a larger scale, the rights of animals began to diminish until it was non-existent. Finally, there was no punishment if slave owners tortured slaves till death. It’s almost like how corporations are rarely punished or given measly fines for disregarding environmental regulations.

Basically, a person who degrades their land, tortures their animals, and exploits local ecosystems is still considered successful as long as they make money doing so. They are not ostracized from society for disrespecting the land community. Leopold criticizes the current conservation education that has trivialized land-use issues by promoting nonmandatory obligations. Without a social conscience, there would be no obligations to value basic human rights; similarly, without an ecological conscience, obligations to respect the land community hold no meaning. Leopold acknowledges that modern city dwellers are disconnected from the land by distance, middlemen, and complicated supply chains. Yet, there is an urgent need for city dwellers and agriculturalists alike to stop viewing land-use as solely an economic problem. Although education in basic ecology will help spread awareness, ultimately, the land ethic will be instilled only when there is social admiration for land conservation and social disapproval for land misuse. This makes me wonder whether all philosophical thought is actually just rooted in social conditioning.
