Lore Post: God of Knowledge and Wisdom

I did promise we'd get more information about him soon, and here it is. I figured since we're talking about curses, and just read the notes of one of his servants, he should get a bit of a spotlight. So, here comes the overview for the God of Wisdom!

Generally considered the God of Wisdom and Knowledge, Eulas is also known as Kunnzkapp among the Yetis of the Malproksime Frostiĝinta where he rules Magic and mageworkers in addition to his typical domain. Consequently, a common epithet of his is The Archmagis in areas that deal diplomatically or are under the rule of Malproksime Frostiĝinta.

The most commonly worshiped deity of scientists and historians alike, his specific purview creates a unique situation in the Zone. Although few dedicate themselves exclusively to the collection of and maintenance of knowledge, because the act of knowing and learning itself are under his command, he’s one of the more powerful deities in the dimension. Additionally, all professions that require specific knowledge or long years of study see many individuals that venerate or pray to this Divine daily. This means doctors and lawyers, but also many tradespeople and craftspeople in specialized arts like metalworking, glassblowing, and engineering.

His Temples see more curtailed worship than would be expected for so powerful a deity, however, scholars and his servants are fervent in their worship, and even regular simple prayers to remember where you’ve misplaced an object grow his influence. As a result, his Relics and Divine Works are abundant throughout the Local Zone, and take the form of everything from books of rare knowledge to instruments and implements that aid in completing tasks.

Among the most important of his Servants duties is the collection and sequestering of dangerous knowledge. This often, though not exclusively, takes the form of collecting Relics that can manipulate aspects of reality. His most powerful Incarnations have the ability to erase the knowledge of something from existence. This form of sequestration is only done in the most extreme circumstances, as the God loves the proliferation of knowledge as much as the collecting of it, and most of his Incarnations are obsessed with teaching as much as learning. Prominent Servants and Incarnations are themselves Aspects of human concepts as well as pieces of the Divine, so his influence is wide-spread and numerous.

Outside of the various monk/priest castes in every major area of the Local Zone, the greatest collection of his worshipers is at the Universitato de Sorĉado found in Malproksime Frostiĝinta. Indeed, the highest proportion of worshipers is found in that territory in general, as the Yetis dedicate themselves to the pursuit of knowledge and scientific advancement.

By: Passant Rabie

Published: April 11, 2023

When Dr. Makenzie Lystrup was sworn in as the new director of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center last week, she didn’t take her oath of office on the Bible or the U.S. Constitution, but rather on a tome revered by space enthusiasts everywhere: Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.

The book, published in 1994, is named after an iconic image of Earth, snapped by the Voyager I probe, that depicts the planet as a small speck smothered by the emptiness of space. That photo inspired astronomer Carl Sagan to write: “Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.” For many, the book serves as a reminder of humanity’s place in the universe and the need to preserve our home planet, which makes it similar to holy scripture for a newly appointed NASA director.

On Thursday, when Lystrup chose to place her left hand on a copy of Sagan’s book while being sworn in by NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, a photographer captured the moment, and NASA Goddard’s social media shared the image.

The constitution does not require that government officials be sworn in using a particular text, just that they “shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution.” Most U.S. politicians and officials end up using the Bible.

But over the years, many officeholders have improvised while taking their oath. In 2018, Mariah Parker was sworn in as a member of the Athens-Clarke County commissioners with her hand placed on a copy of “The Autobiography of Malcom X.” When former U.S. ambassador to Switzerland Suzi LeVine took her oath in 2014, she put a hand on her Kindle. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to be elected to Congress, took his oath in 2007 using the Quran.

Sagan is a revered figure in the space sciences community for his pioneering contributions to space exploration. “Like many astronomers and space scientists, my passion started with watching Carl Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’ on public television as a child,” Lystrup, who is a planetary scientist like Sagan, said in an emailed statement. “Sagan worked very hard to make science accessible and meaningful to everyone, and ‘Pale Blue Dot’ emphasizes the importance of exploring our universe and understanding our home planet.”

“Given its personal significance to me and how its message resonates with the work we do at NASA Goddard on behalf of the world, it felt apropos to include it in the ceremony,” she added.

Lystrup will be the��first female center director of the Goddard Space Flight Center, which includes a primary campus in Greenbelt, Maryland, as well as Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification & Validation Facility in West Virginia, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the White Sands Complex in New Mexico, and the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Texas.

Goddard is home to the nation’s largest concentration of scientists, engineers and technologists dedicated to Earth and space science, according to NASA.

Janet Elizabeth Macgregor was born on January 12th 1920 in Glasgow.

Not a name the vast majority of you will know, but I love finding the unsung heroes, and Jane Macgregor is certainly in that category, her work has definately helped save countless women's lives.

Born as Janet Elizabeth McPherson in Glasgow, Betty, as she became known was just 7 when her mother died from tuberculosis. Betty attended school at Bearsden Academy, going on to study medicine at the University of Glasgow during the Second World War, graduating in 1943. It was there she met Alastair Macgregor and they married a year later. She did her house jobs at Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Western General Hospital.

During the next few years she raised their four children and worked part time in child welfare clinics. In 1958 Alastair was appointed to the regius chair of materia medica and therapeutics at Aberdeen University. Betty became a research assistant in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, run by Sir Dugald Baird, regius professor of midwifery, who was famed for his compassion and social awareness.

It was in 1960 that it was decided to embark on a schedule of cervical testing for the entire area, Dugald Baird, inspired Macgregor to research the origins of cervical cancer and to concentrate especially on all the women - and in particular disadvantaged women - of the north-east.

Macgregor brought to the project a dedication, determination and considerable medical skills that ensured her programme worked efficiently. Diplomacy was also required, as all the GPs had to be written to (often repeatedly) in Aberdeenshire to obtain their approval so that smear testing could commence. Macgregor created a comprehensive call-and-recall system that broke new ground with its findings.

It was done so expertly under her supervision over the first five years there was such a decrease in the cervical cancer in the area and she had comprehensively proved her case. Betty was a superb cytologist and it has been commented, "the most delightful person. Without a doubt, she saved many lives."

It was not a period when priority was given to such a lengthy and complex medical programme: politicians had other demands on public funds. It was the way Macgregor organised the tests that brought the programme so much renown. Everything was meticulously documented and recorded with great care and attention. After five years she had assembled such powerful scientific evidence that other health authorities throughout the UK immediately adopted her system.

Her work brought Macgregor much esteem within the medical profession. She was much honoured by several of the Royal Societies and was a most distinguished president of her own medical association from 1980-83. During that presidency of the British Society of Clinical Cytology (BSCC), she published a book about improving the smear-test programmes nationally. It became a medical best-seller and sold 15,000 copies in its first edition and 10,000 in its second.

A memorable evening was held in 1985 whenBetty retired from Aberdeen University.

But this most active lady did not slip gently into retirement. She had bought a house on the Isle of Seil, off the coast at Oban, but Prof Templeton suggested she join a Birthright Programme he was initiating at the university. It was to research into pre-cervical care and patients who had slightly abnormal smear tests. "Betty accepted immediately and was as focused and enthusiastic as ever," he said. "She bought a house back in Aberdeen and did three days a week here and then travelled back to the west coast.

Macgregor wrote several medical books and was a regular contributor to the British Medical Journal. She was awarded the OBE in 1984/

It wasn't all work fior this dedicatec lady, Macgregor was devoted to her family and enjoyed taking her grandchildren sailing around Seil. She had her own yacht and loved the spectacular scenery of the west coast.

Betty Macgregor developed Alzheimer’s disease and died of cerebrovascular disease on 8th October 2005 at the Lynn of Lorne Nursing Home, Benderloch, near Oban.

SwRI leads airborne, ground-based 2024 eclipse observation projects

Eclipse events offer unique opportunities to study the solar corona

Southwest Research Institute is leading two groundbreaking experiments — on the ground and in the air — to collect astronomical data from the total solar eclipse that will shadow a large swath of the United States on April 8, 2024. SwRI’s Dr. Amir Caspi leads the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (CATE) 2024 experiment, a broad scientific outreach initiative funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA, that will engage community participants to make a continuous 60-minute high-resolution movie during the April 8 solar eclipse. Caspi also leads an investigation that will use NASA’s WB-57F research aircraft to chase the eclipse shadow.

“Total solar eclipses are unique opportunities for scientists to study the hot atmosphere above the Sun’s visible surface,” said Caspi, principal investigator of both projects. “The faint light from the corona is usually overpowered by the intense brightness of the Sun itself. Total solar eclipses allow scientists to view the complex and dynamic outer atmosphere in ways that aren’t possible or practical by any other means, opening new windows into our understanding of the solar corona.”

CATE 2024 will use a network of 35 teams of community participants, or “citizen scientists,” representing local communities along the eclipse path, deploying a “bucket brigade” of small telescopes — from the Texas-Mexico border to Maine — following the eclipse’s shadow path. This next-generation project builds on the experience of the first Citizen CATE experiment in 2017, led by Matt Penn of the National Solar Observatory, which used 68 stations to observe the August 2017 total solar eclipse that crossed the continental United States. CATE 2024 expands the scientific objectives by measuring polarized light and engages with new teams across this year’s eclipse path.

Additionally, for the second time, Caspi leads a project to observe an eclipse with NASA’s WB-57F research aircraft. In 2017, he led the first solar observations using these aircraft, outfitted with telescopes mounted in the aircraft nose cone. In 2024, Caspi’s team will deploy a new suite of sensitive, high-speed, visible-light and infrared imagers, built by NASA’s Langley Research Center, to observe the corona during the eclipse at 50,000 feet. These high-altitude observations both provide measurements that can’t be made from the ground and avoid any weather-related risks. The WB-57F aircraft will also carry two other experiments, from the University of Hawaii and Virginia Tech, and Caspi serves as the mission scientist, coordinating between NASA and the experiment leads.

“Both projects will require an enormous effort and precise timing to get the data we need,” Caspi said. “I am honored to be part of such exceptionally talented and professional teams, and grateful for everyone’s dedication and hard work.”

Looking at complex motion in the solar corona, at new wavelengths and with new polarization measurements, will help scientists understand why it is so hot. The corona is millions of degrees Celsius, hundreds of times hotter than the visible surface below, which is a longstanding scientific mystery. The corona is also one of the major sources of eruptions that cause geomagnetic storms at Earth. These phenomena damage satellites, cause power grid blackouts and disrupt communication and GPS signals, so it’s important to better understand them.

“The airborne platforms guarantee perfect observing conditions, above any weather and more than 90 percent of Earth’s atmosphere, which can affect image quality,” said SwRI co-investigator Dr. Dan Seaton, who serves as the science lead for both projects. “Combining the airborne mobile data with the CATE 2024 hour-long string of observations will provide a more complete picture of the Sun’s mysterious corona.”

The SwRI-led airborne team includes scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research High Altitude Observatory, NASA Langley Research Center, and Predictive Sciences Inc., with collaborators at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The SwRI-led CATE 2024 project, funded by NSF and NASA, includes scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the National Solar Observatory, the University of Colorado, and the Space Science Institute, with collaborators at New Mexico State University and the Livelihoods Knowledge Exchange Network, community leaders at Rice University, Indiana University Bloomington, and the University of Maine, and over 100 community participants in 35 communities along the eclipse path.

My headcanons for what happens after Survive:

After meeting Lopmon, Shuuji's father uses his political influence to try to normalize Kemonogami in society (his job isn't stated in the game, but with the way he acts, he must have either money or influence, probably both).

Haru founds an organization dedicated to help integrate Kemonogami into society. This means helping kids get used to their partners, studying and categorizing different Kemonogami, etc. All the main group works in this organization, of course.

Shuuji helps with research, focusing mostly on trying to recover different Kemonogami cultures from before the Master took over. He's best friends with Ryo.

Ryo works with kids, especially those who have trouble understand or accepting their partners. He's like a therapist, in a sense.

Aoi is in charge of administrative work. Given her grades and intellect, Haru offered her a research job, but she declined it.

Minoru takes care of field research in the Kemonogami world, which hasn't fully merged with the human world yet. He helps with categorizing Kemonogami.

Saki works as a medical assistant. Kids and Kemonogami have to undergo different tests in order to find a more scientific explanation to their bond, so she takes care of helping with the materials and taking notes.

One of the requirements put on the organization by the government is to cooperate with emergency services, and this is what Kaito does. Whenever there are Kemonogami related problems, he's the one to take care of them. When there are too many problems for one person, he contacts the others and takes whoever is free with him.

Miu is on communications duties until she finishes her studies. Her goal is to be able to help educate Kemonogami on human disciplines, and she's working hard to get her degree. She's gotten to know Miyuki a lot better and they're really good friends now.

Takuma is the face of the organization. Haru figured he himself wouldn't be great at explaining things in simple terms. Since Takuma has this mix of seriousness and charisma, he decided to have him take care of anything public related, like TV appearances and such.

Aoi dated Kaito for a while, but they broke up eventually. She's dating Saki now and they're living together.

Takuma and Minoru developed a very obvious crush on each other but they kept trying to reconcile their feelings with the concept they had of their friendship. They kept overthinking it for months until they finally confessed and started dating. It's a bit messy, but they're managing to make it work.

⟢ - Notes on Ultra Beasts, Ultra Humans, Ultra Space & 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

The existence of Ultra Space and its inhabitants is highly confidential, top secret information, and is heavily guarded by international government and several law enforcement bureaus.

All information regarding the existence, and accessibility, of other dimensions, was completely theoretical, rooted in scientific conversation that did not have a great deal of credibility, until the early 80’s.

The discovery, and study, of Lusamine and several other Ultra Humans that had appeared across the globe, led to the creation of the Bureau of Cross-Dimensional Anomaly Investigation, BCDAI. BCDAI cooperates with regional governments and interpol in order to conduct studies, gather information about these unknown entities, track them, and potentially contain them. The safety and welfare of all people and Pokémon were taken into consideration when forming this division, out of concern of what visitors from other dimensions could do to the world.

Lusamine’s adopted parents played a major role in BCDAI, submitting countless papers and studies on Lusamine’s growth, her unusual intelligence, and her unique biology.

By the time Lusamine was in her early 20’s, her research began to focus on Ultra Space, under the watchful, strict eye of BCDAI. This, of course, greatly limited the amount of work she could do, and so her research grounded to a halt— she refocused on conservation efforts, technological innovation, and other humanitarian work.

With the hopes of winning the bureau’s trust, Lusamine volunteered to work with BCDAI, requesting more legal clearance, with the promise of all future work regarding Ultra Space being kept completely confidential.

Once Aether was founded in her 30’s, focused research into Ultra Space began once more; the creation of the Aether Paradise’s artificial island was done entirely to keep this top secret work away from prying eyes.

Through a series of political events and drama, Lusamine is elected the head of BCDAI, giving her access to all records of Ultra anomalies across the globe, and turning the Aether Foundation into the primary organization for Ultra Space research funding.

Tensions between BCDAI and interpol were stoked when Lusamine began to dispute the legality of agents probing into the Aether Paradise without proper clearance, due to the island existing in international waters. At the time, nothing unethical or illegal was being conducted, but Lusamine still required privacy and confidentiality of her own work, claiming that it did not fall into any particular laws covered by BCDAI.

After some time, BCDAI was restructured in order to move away from being an investigative bureau for Ultra Space; they wished to move their focus onto the welfare and protection of fallers. Lusamine then stepped down from the division entirely, wished to break ties, stating that she no longer wished to be a subject of government research. Lusamine is stripped of security clearance for information on fallers. BCDAI is dissolved. Hard drives are wiped and files are burned. Certain top secret documents on fallers and dangerous varieties of Ultra Beasts are preserved. The Faller Protection Agency is formed.

Lusamine independently formed her own dedicated branch of Ultra Space research through the Aether Foundation, along with a team meant to do what the former BCDAI no longer wished to do: watching the fluctuation of Ultra radiation across hotspots, and tracking the appearance of Ultra Beasts.

Unlike interpol and the Faller Protection Agency, the Aether Foundation uses certain technologies to keep track of the appearance of Ultra Beasts, and approaches people who have made contact with these creatures in order to assure that their existence is kept confidential. Aether also keeps an eye on wormhole activity, so that closer studies can be conducted, and potential Ultra Beast appearances can be recorded— in the hopes that the beasts can be captured and contained.

As of current day, Ultra Space, Ultra Beasts, and Ultra Humans are still highly confidential topics. The common man does not know that they exist. People who are exposed to anything involved Ultra Space are going to be approached, spoken to, and put into a position where they are signing a non-disclosure agreement, and consenting to keeping contact with one of the many organizations keeping a watchful eye on the worlds beyond this dimension. Information about Ultra Space is often scrubbed from social media.

Those closest to Lusamine and the Aether Foundation, and those who conduct their own research on inter dimensional travel, likely know about Ultra Space and Ultra Beasts to a certain capacity, but the Aether Foundation still holds MANY, MANY secrets— hence why Interpol is currently trying to investigate both Lusamine and Aether as a whole.

Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez (1959-2021): The Mexican Astrobiologist Who Shaped Our Understanding of The Planet Mars

Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez was a talented and internationally recognized chemist and astrobiologist who worked at NASA. Navarro-Gonzalez is known for his work with other researchers to study the planet Mars. He made fundamental contributions to several fields related to Astrobiology, the origin of life, and life in extreme environments. Among his many accomplishments, he helped lead the team that identified ancient organic compounds on Mars. He was a Co-I on the SAM instrument onboard NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory and on the HABIT instrument onboard ESA’s ExoMars mission. He was also on the Curiosity Mars rover team. His research blended laboratory simulations, fieldwork, and theoretical modeling in transdisciplines in chemistry, physics, and biology. This sort of dominance is unusual and requires a dynamic and intellectual curiosity beyond normal boundaries. He identified the role of volcanic lightning in the origin of life on Earth. He has established one of the very best laboratories in Latin-America.

He has published 137 papers, 4 edited books and over 225 abstracts. Among the most significant contributions are those that deal the detection of organics in Mars-like environments from cold (Antarctica), temperate (Atacama) and hot (Mojave and Libya) deserts on Earth.

Navarro-Gonzalez was born in Mexico City on April 25, 1959. He earned a bachelor’s in biology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) where he became full professor in 2002, and a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Maryland at College Park. Dr. Navarro-González established the Laboratory of Plasma Chemistry and Planetary Studies of the Institute of Nuclear Science at UNAM.

Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez was the first recipient of the Molina fellowship award. This prize recognizes outstanding scientific achievement. He was also the recipient of the 2009 Alexander von Humboldt Medal and the World Academy of Sciences Award in Earth Sciences.

He died on Jan. 28, 2021 due to Covid-19-related complications.

In honor of his service, NASA named a mountain on Mars after him. The mountain stretches 450 feet (120 meters) tall, “Rafael Navarro Mountain” is located on Mount Sharp in northwest Gale Crater.

Rafael Navarro Mountain

“Rafael was a good friend and dedicated scientist, and it has been a privilege and honor for our Mars exploration team to work with him over the years" said the principal investigator of Curiosity’s SAM experiment.

“We are truly honored to have a prominent hill named after our dad; it’s his and our dream come true to see this happen,” wrote Navarro-González’s children, Rafael and Karina Navarro Aceves, in a statement to NASA.

“Our dad was an accomplished scientist, but above all, a great human being who managed to balance work and family."

(trying to find the right poses)

What would you say are the preferred lightsaber forms of our dearly beloved disaster trio? (and also Mary and Shannon)

For me, I can see Beatrice switching between the elegance of Makashi and the unbreaking wall of Soresu (the little overachiever would of course be more than capable of using more than one form) (and that fight in chapter 2 of LB had total Soresu vibes from Bea).

And Ava, who is always so aware/absorbed/active in the Force, I can see leaning more into Niman to compensate between use of the force and the actual physical demands of the form. Or maybe Ataru, because of how she already automatically leans into the Force to enhance her natural movements, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for her to take it further in her lightsaber form (and also the little energizer bunny isn't exactly the type to stay contained. she totally has ketamine-gremlin-yoda vibes)

Lilith, I can see with Forms V or VII (or both, considering her proficiency with a blade). I can see her leaning into the physicality required for Shien/Djem So, as well as the practicality of it for both saber and blaster combat. But also Juyo, for the aggressive chaos and sheer strength of body, mind, and will it requires to sustain (and I cannot unsee the parallels between her and Maul).

What do you think?

oh you are wonderful for getting me thinking seriously about this. i trained in kendo for years as a kid, so usually i meld that and my karate to write (sword)fighting scenes, but this is giving me so much more to work with.

so, thinking on the lighsaber form of the star wars au cast:

Mary would definitely use form 5. probably both variations. she fought extensively during the Clone Wars & would have seen the value in a lightsaber form that prioritised deflecting blaster bolts over duelling.

she wouldn’t have gravitated towards Soresu, i think, because she is naturally more aggressive than that, and she wants options available to her for initiating conflict, as opposed to responding to it. Shien is excellent for fighting in battlefield conditions. like Soresu in its emphasis on deflecting blaster bolts, but also more assertive - often redirecting those bolts into other opponents, or environmental hazards.

the Djem So side of things she would be less, but still somewhat, practiced in. she'd see the value in aggressive close combat duelling tactics, but ultimately her preference is for Shien. Djem So is her go-to for fighting other lightsaber-users though, because it offers a solid set of options, but relies less on the kind of wild acrobatics that many other Jedi employ.

she is not so accomplished at Djem So as in Shien, mostly because she’s not a natural duelist, specialising in battlefield command, usually fighting among Republic Clone Troopers. Mary also, even before Order 66, carried and used a blaster in addition to her lightsaber.

Shannon: Soresu. Shannon is a very Obi-Wan Kenobi/ Luke Skywalker character. she’s dedicated to the beliefs of the Jedi - she is about balance, harmony, hence why she has a green saber - and Soresu exemplifies the Jedi philosophy.

it is also incredibly useful in a variety of situations (all about exposing minimal targets to the enemy, thinking of Luke practicing en-route to Alderaan); it’s resilliant and adaptable, and as a diplomat - probably one of the few Jedi who were called in to deal with complex scientific issues (read: the time when Shannon ended up in a star wars equivalent of the movie “Alien” along with Mary, back in their early days together) Shannon would have favoured Soresu as a defensive form.

she’s a self-sacrificial sort of person, too, and you can see Soresu in the way that she defends Ava from Crimson in chapter 1 (an echo of Obi-Wan in A New Hope). i think she almost took Niman after mastering form 1 back in her padawan days, but something (Mary) changed her mind about spending 10 years studying it.

Bea: oh! i definitely think that Bea is melding different forms together (certainly she’s borrowing aspects from her Jedi and her Sith training).

so yes, she uses Makashi on the Sith side of things (because it is Lilith who retrains her in the lightsaber after she is tortured; she has to adapt to her shattered elbow, which will always be weak. hence why Makashi - a (frequently) one-handed fighting style - is an ideal style for her to fall back).

i think she is trained in Soresu, but she had to abandon it - again, because of her injury - though she retains the tactical instincts of that style, despite adapting to a more aggressive outlook. Soresu requires too much dual-dexterity.

instead of Soresu, Bea picks up Ataru. the force-assisted acrobatics and the fluidity of it suit her perfectly - plus the aggression. she’s all about sliding through an opponent’s space, slipping past their guard, or simply coming at them from an angle they don’t expect. the combo of Makashi - THE duelling form - and Ataru would i think be Potent. both elegant, but Makashi playing into her calculating, strategic side - all about the footwork and controlling yourself AND your foe - plus the explosive power of Ataru and also its use of the Force, which, as we all know, Beatrice is incredibly powerful with. bringing out the blunt-force side of her fighting instincts. i think the ch 2 pit fight showcased her ability to balance aggression with manipulation, and also to come at her opponent with vicious speed and end the fight swiftly and efficiently (a hallmark of Ataru)

Lilith: you’re totally right. i think 100% Lilith would use form 7 - and Juyo specifically. she’s not trained in the same way as others, & i think was pretty swiftly thrown into battle after mastering form 1 and being taught elements of Makashi (which she later perfected, just because she could) but in her heart she’s a form 7 practitioner.

it requires both immense aggression, a level of viciousness, and also a focus on emotion and domination. i think from what we see of Lilith’s fighting style she is MUCH more brutal than Beatrice (her fight style resembles Kenpo karate)

Juyo is described in one of the novels as a form filled with “malignant grace” <- could we describe darling dearest Lil any better?? in ch. 2 her leaping attack really exemplifies the sudden volatility of form 7.

it also requires a lot of internalised Force energy, which, considering Lilith’s unique relationship with the Force (and her augmentation with magick) would be ideal for her. it also LOOKS messy, but it is, in fact, astonishing grace hidden inside of staccato movements. considering Some Plans i have, that would suit Lilith perfectly - yes, she seems like an untamed thing, but she is in fact as deft and calculated as Beatrice, and Juyo allows her to use her fury to her advantage, and also her overwhelming physical prowess, because she really IS probably the most physically adept out of all of them.

Ava: i think for Ava i spoke in ch 1 about her being absolutely angelic with the lightsaber, and also Ava knows physics. she loves acrobatics and she ADORES aerial acrobatics, specifically - particularly aviation and ship manoeuvers. she knows g-forces and how not to pass out while pitching and rolling in atmosphere.

so i think she is a pure Ataru practitioner. form 4, with its focus on acrobatics and dynamic movement, would appeal to her desire to move and to fly and to be rooted anywhere but into the ground. it is also incredibly offensive (a good echo of Ava’s ‘i’m more of a punch-first type girl’ comment). and it DOES emphasise the force, but specifically for movement.

i think Ava, depending a lot of Shannon’s incredibly Force-abilities, would lean into the more embodied side of the Force - speed, agility, and a no-holds-barred offence would absolutely suit Ava - though, of course, Ataru is really incredibly dependent on the practitioner’s strong connection to the Force, which early-star wars au Ava does not have.

but yes the quickness of it, the jumping and the almost phasing through space with Force-enhanced speed, all of it would suit Ava. i think, probably, she will have to adjust eventually to learn some techniques for dealing efficiently with blaster-bolts and projectiles. i think also there’s an extent to which Ava’s use of Ataru is tempered somewhat by her training in Soresu, from Shannon. i think she leaned into the beauty and the ferociousness of Ataru, but now that she doesn’t have her Master anymore there’ll be an element of melding those styles together, learning to protect herself because Shannon - who always, always protected her - has stood between Ava and her death for the last time.

#wn star wars au #avatrice star wars au #GREAT question for real this really made me think about these guys #can't wait to hand in this part of my thesis so i can get back to writing #knightsofrayx

What is STEM?

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. And together they make up a popular and fast-growing industry.

Most STEM workers use computers and other technology in their day-to-day jobs. Many also use the scientific method to test hypotheses and theories. Most STEM jobs are in high demand but suffer from a lack of qualified candidates.

STEM is necessary for growing the economy and staying globally competitive. As society innovates and technology advances, the need for professionals who understand how these technologies work and who can propose practical solutions continues to grow. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) calls STEM careers "tommorow's job," emphasizing the importance of these unique industries. Today, STEM jobs are in high demand, and many are projected to stay in demand for several years. At the same time, STEM professionals are in short supply, which is why so many colleges — as well as the U.S. government — are imploring students to study STEM. This high demand for computing professionals makes sense if you consider how much of our lives have become reliant on some form of digital technology. It’s how we communicate and keep in touch. It’s how we entertain ourselves. It starts the engines in our cars; in medical practices, it keeps us alive; it drives massive segments of our economy; and for better or worse, advances in digital technology will continue to control the future direction of our society. As our daily lives become more reliant on software and digital devices, jobs in computing will become increasingly more important.

Engineering and Physical Science is the next largest category of in-demand STEM careers. These are careers like Orthodontists, Petroleum Engineers, Biochemists, Nurse Anesthetists, Civil Engineers, and Cartographers. Yes, cartographers—map makers—are still a thing and they earn a median salary of $63,990. (Cool, I know.) These types of careers have much less to do with computers and more to do with rolling up your sleeves and getting elbow deep in real work, with real results that you can see right now.

Life Sciences and Mathematics are much smaller fields than the previous two, but they make up the third most significant chunk of STEM careers. These two fields involve the more theoretical STEM careers that account for only a small amount of the demand for STEM professionals. These are careers like being a Clinical Research Associate or an Economist that—while still in demand—might be harder to find a position in. However, these are by no means your only options when it comes to STEM careers. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer working with computers, building robots, drawing blueprints for skyscrapers, or developing groundbreaking medicine. If you can make it through a STEM program in college, there’s a STEM career for you.

Going through a STEM program is pretty intense. It requires a lot of dedication, perseverance, and sacrifice to make it all the way through. No matter how, this style of education builds the skills and mindsets that employers find incredibly valuable. And since the demand for STEM professionals is so high, employers in STEM fields are willing to offer some of the most generous starting salaries that recent graduates can get.

William Fraser Tolmie was born in Inverness on February 3rd 1812, I have the same surname but he isn’t an ancestor, as far as I am aware.

William’s mother died when he was three and he spent some years under the “irksome and capricious authority” of an aunt. He was educated at Inverness Academy and Perth Grammar School. An uncle encouraged his interest in medicine and is said to have financed his studies at the medical school of the University of Glasgow for two years, 1829–31. Although almost invariably referred to as Dr Tolmie, he was not an md: during these two years he worked for credits toward a diploma as licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, a body independent of the university. Tolmie did well in his studies, won prizes in chemistry and French, and received his diploma in the spring of 1831. He had hoped to study in Paris, but a near-fatal illness prevented him. When he recovered, he served from February to May 1832 as clerk in an emergency cholera hospital organized in Glasgow to cope with the epidemic then raging.

In the summer of 1832 the Hudson Bay Company was looking for two medical officer, William and another, Dr Meredith Gairdner signed that September a five-year contract to serve in the dual capacity of clerk and surgeon. As a clerk he would receive an annual salary rising from £20 to £50, and as a surgeon £100 per annum.

The ship arrived at Fort Vancouver in the spring of 1833. In his journal, he wrote about his accommodations at the fort, recording that the doctor's office had "a very excellent supply of surgical instruments." Just days after his arrival, Chief Factor Dr. John McLoughlin was stricken by the so-called "intermittent fever" (malaria). Tolmie treated him by him, a common practice in 19th century medicine. Like most doctors at the time, Tolmie was also a dedicated naturalist, and many plant and animal specimens as he travelled through the Pacific Northwest. He sent at least two collections of Northwest bird and animal specimens to Scotland - one to a museum in his hometown, Inverness, and one to fellow naturalist John Scouler. After Fort Vancouver, Tolmie went on to serve at several other Hudson's Bay Company posts in the Pacific Northwest.

William Tolmie enjoyed a good relationship with Native Americans, and in one case supported Chief Leschi of the Nisqually Tribe who was was charged with murder during the Puget Sound War, oor William measured distances, and determined it was impossible for Leschi to have made the trip to the murder site in the time required. The local Military refused to carry out the sentence as Leschi would not have been guilty as the tribe and the government were at war at the time.

Tolmie petitioned the Governor for Clemency, but the sentence was upheld. . Leschi was executed in 1858. Later, the trial was judged to have been unlawfully conducted, the execution wrong, and Leschi innocent.

He died at age 74 in Victoria, Canada and Tolmie State Park Washington, is named after him. Tolmie was the first European to explore the Puyallup River valley and Mount Rainier in what is now Washington Tolmie Peak is named in his honour, as is Tolmie Street in Vancouver. Plants bearing his name include Tolmie's star-tulip (Calochortus tolmiei) and Tolmie's onion (Allium tolmiei). The scientific name of MacGillivray's warbler is also named for him: Oporornis tolmiei.

espresso cookie shows to have a lot of disdain for light magic as he see’s that it’s good for nothing in kingdom. and as a result, he doesn’t have much respect for madeleine (someone who wields light magic) when they first start working together.

how does espresso’s opinions differ in crumbled castles (if they do) and how does that affect his friendship with madeleine? sorry if this is a long ask

It's perfectly okay lol! Sorry if this is a long and rambling answer!

Espresso doesn't really mind light magic too much in my AU. He does still see it as an inadequate form of magic that isn't good for much, but he doesn't have as strong of a vendetta against it as canon Espresso does. Light magic does have its small uses, after all. All magic has its use for a reason. It's just that light magic has been largely invalidated by technology and seems like a waste of time to learn.

This probably comes from Espresso not originating from the Lower City in this AU and therefore having less reason to have contempt in that manner. Espresso instead comes from a dedicated family of researchers who each specialize in certain fields, and Espresso decided to create a whole new form of magic in an attempt to stand out from them. He wanted to create a powerful form of magic that could be more useful than light magic in day-to-day life.

I imagine that coffee magic would be an excellent, cleaner power source as well as a powerful offensive tool, albeit very scientifically particular. Coffee magic requires much more science than other magics do, as instead of the memorization and visualization/adjustment of runes, it instead relies more upon alchemy and precise measurements. I also imagine that magic in Crumbled Castles requires an understanding of mathematics, with the runes representing not only a means of aiding in channeling that magic but also a way of amplifying or decreasing the strength of the spell.

In terms of how this affects Espresso's relationship with Madeleine, this leads to much less disdain and more standoffish dismissal to the use of light magic, which he mostly finds to be outdated and redundant. Madeleine and Espresso have an understanding of each other and are amicable in their different opinions--Madeleine likes the preservation of the Republic's culture being passed down in the teaching of light magic even though Espresso finds it a redundant form of magic. It makes for interesting conversation sometimes.

In spite of their differences, Madeleine is supportive of Espresso's studies in creating a whole new form of magic, even though other cookies in the Republic (including Espresso's own family) perceive that coffee magic as being the re-awakening of dark magic. Madeleine occasionally acts as his eager assistant, and his ability to play dumb often pushes Espresso to re-explain his rambling in much more simplified terms only to figure out what he's missing from that.

Madeleine likes being Espresso's rubber ducky.

...For reference, programmers have rubber duckies that they talk to and yell at and squeak and explain their process to, and that helps them figure out what it is they're missing. Madeleine just likes helping his friend.

#crumbled castles au #espresso and madeleine are roomates btw did i ever mention that

Getting Ready for a PhD Research Program

(repost from my old blog, Oct 2021)

Hi! I am Annisa Sarah, a PhD student from the University of Stavanger. I’ve started my PhD in mid-July 2021, and next week will mark my third month of working here.

I want to dedicate this post to those of you that *finally* received an offer after tens of European PhD applications. What now? How to prepare for your PhD?

Please note that PhD programs in different continents, different countries, will TOTALLY have a different approach. PhD in most of Asians countries requires you to take courses, and take the candidacy exam. A PhD in the US requires you to take classes and lab for the first two years (and the candidacy exam after that). Yet, most of PhD in Europeans countries are research only (some universities ask you to do teaching or undergraduate/master thesis supervision, though). As I am taking my PhD in Norway, the program is exclusively in doing research: 3 years of research, with some months extension if you take any teaching assistantship or supervise master theses.

now I want to share some tips to loosen your stress and anxiety prior to starting your PhD program:

1. Seek for Some Advices

This book is such a holy book for me: ”The Unwritten Rules of PhD Research” by Gordon Rugg and Marian Petre (I read the. 3rd edition by the way)

It feels like you have an unofficial advisor telling you how to work on each phase: literature study, managing your references, how to set expectations between you and your supervisors, how to organize your work, how to write a paper, how to publish it, how to act during conferences, and so on! There is so many self-help PhD books, but this is the one and only I feel suitable for PhD research student.

how I use this book:

read it, taking important notes and try to implement it. Whenever you are IN the stage (e.g., start doing literature survey or organizing the work), you may need to visit the chapter and re-read all the tips. I write some nice quotes from the book, and put them on my cubical, like:

“do a good work, and tell a good story”

2. Try many Different Work Systems, Find out Which System that is Most Suitable for You

trying to catch-up some materials after my baby sleeps

The most challenging part of PhD for me is how to independently organize all the works: How to retain the knowledge you have gained from reading tens of papers? How to manage your time efficiently? Are you a morning person or a night owl? You need to find your system as soon as possible. Try different systems of organizing literature, note-taking, etc

I find some tips from here:

how to read scientific paper: How to read a scientific paper - Notes from the physics lab

digital note-taking: Doing a literature review using digital tools (with Notion template) (notesfromthephysicslab.com)

3. Blog-walking to Read Other’s Experiences in doing Their PhD

Knowing how others can survive the PhD, helps me in managing my stress. Stressing about your PhD is nice in a way. It means you care about it. Addressing all the risks that you might face by reading other experiences. Example of how to managing the risk and mitigation: Risk Management of a PhD student – PAN-EUROPEAN TRAINING, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION NETWORK ON ELECTROMAGNETIC RISK MANAGEMENT (etn-peter.eu)

other blogs (or vlogs also could do):

PhD Pitfalls - (Some of) the Things That Actually Do Go Wrong | FindAPhD.com

Dr Lucy Kissick - The PhDiaries - YouTube

4. Write a Daily Journal

Write what you did on that day (what you've learned, what paper you've downloaded that day) so you know how you're progressing each day, each week. It gives you a sign of whether you are too slow or too fast, and you can think about strategies to improve your work. Remember, during your PhD, you only work with yourself, so you need to manage your own work. It is pretty easy to be distracted, and you do not become aware that you are losing so much time

Good luck! remember:

Xoxo,

Sarah

Come to me?

(I'm being self indulgent for a bit bc I'm...honestly tired of waiting for the attention. SO read or don't read, idc. This is for me. Fic takes place after @tfa-defection-au )

It had been a long, long day in Fortress Maximus. Another multiverse study had concluded as Centinela turned off the monitor and rubbed her optics. Ever since Shockwave 1.2e had returned to his home dimension, other parts of the multiverse had experienced different forms of glitches and anomalies that, while not life threatening, needed Centinela's guidance to manage. At first, she would travel between dimensions herself. But she was worried about Shockwave, and wanted to be close to him. After all, he'd just been brought to a world where there is peace between Autobots and Decepticons, and he had been pardoned of his crimes after completing the required legal proceedings to live in Centinela's Cybertron as a civilian. But the 'cons he considered his friends had yet to be released from prison, due to their own stubbornness, and he missed them dearly. Centinela, being now his selected mate, wanted to comfort him in this troubling time...if only she could get a moment alone with him...

Unfortunately, finding time to chat with the bot who leads the entire cycle of obtaining and distributing intelligence and being constantly monitored by guards for suspicious behavior was difficult. Especially so if you're the bot who leads the entire guild dedicated to the scientific progression of Cybertron, and the program that promotes Autobot and Decepticon coexistence and peace. Finding time was always a struggle. But this time, Centinela had planned for this. It was soon to be Shockwave's break time, and she had spent the entire night working while off-duty, just to have the rest of the afternoon free for him. It was tiring, and she had hardly slept at all, but to see him now was going to be worth it.

With a soft sigh, Centinela stood from her desk, and exited her office, locking the room with her keycard. She placed the card, which had a magnetic surface, on her hip, where it stayed, and would beep loudly if anyone that wasn't her tried to take it. She walked down the halls in her tired state, gently rubbing her face with a soft moan. Her frame desperately begged her for at least a nap, but she was too stubborn to allow it. The halls were long and a calming white color, with few bots walking around, but all of drastically different frames. It gave her some pride to see it, red and blue optics meeting each other, and coexisting. But miss Centinela was on a mission, and she was determined to see it through to the end.

Finally, she arrived at the Intelligence Division, and was in front of the door to Shockwave's office. Cliffjumper had given her the okay to go in; he was still in there, working. With a nervous breath, Centinela knocked twice, and entered the room. This was the first time she had seen him at work in about 2 weeks. They would date, of course, but Centinela longed to see him more often, and unbeknownst to her...he did too. He was the same as the last time they saw eachother. Longarm Prime, sitting behind his desk, typing on the computer, a coffee mug by his right hand, and a datapad with writting and a pen on it by his left. He had been multitasking, it seemed. When the blue femme shut the door behind her, it clicked softly, which alerted the mech. His gaze rose up from the computer, changing from seriousness and professionalism, to surprise and flusteredness.

Shockwave: Centinela... -He said softly, a breath of relief escaping him as the femme smiled.

Centinela: Shockwave. - She chuckled quietly, raising her arms, open for a hug as her smile grew, and her cheeks began to glow pink. - Come to me?

Shockwave wasted no time. He stood upon hearing her say that, slowly making his way around the desk as he allowed his frame to change color and grow in size. Gentle claws picked up the little Autobot, and pressed her close to his rumbling chassis. She could hear his spark jump with excitement, so so happy to see her at this time when he was so burried in thought. Gently, he set her down again, holding her servos with the tips of his claws, carefully to not cut her with how sharp they are.

Centinela: I missed you. -Centinela chuckled, looking up into his optic lovingly.

Shockwave: As I you. - The deer mech returned the chuckle. - How are you here now? Shouldn't you be working?

Centinela: Shouldn't you be on your break?

Shockwave: Mm... - Shockwave sighed deeply. - It has been difficult to work, with all that I have been thinking of... - She knew it. Something was up, and needed to be said. Centinela then gently kissed his claws, and looked back up at him.

Centinela: What troubles you, my dear?

Shockwave: ...I am ever grateful that I have been returned to my home dimension. - He began sadly. - But my friends...they are imprisoned. They do not wish to take part in your program. I do not blame them. It is too much paperwork and loopholes. Who designed it to be as such?

Centinela: ....the Council before I had came to lead the Ministry of Science, unfortunately. - Centinela sighed, glancing away. - It was never my intention for it to be this way...and I cannot change it because the Council still has a say in what changes in my program. It will only truly be mine once I have lead the Ministry of Science for a million stellar cycles.

Shockwave: Oh dear... - Shockwave sighed, gently stroking her cheek and having her look back at him. - I am sorry, beloved. I hadn't known.

Centinela: It's not your fault, dearest. I wish I could help you see your friends be free, pardoned, and coexisting with Autobots. But it's out of my servos for now. The Council needs to ensure every Decepticon is properly reformed when they return to a civil life here, so I doubt any changes will be made.

Shockwave: ...."reformed". - Shockwave said softly, an idea formulating in his mind. - Dear Starlight...I do believe I have the answer to this predicament. I will create a new faction to compliment your program. - Centinela's optics widened in surprise and intrigue. A new faction? She was curious indeed.

Centinela: A new faction? What would it be about?

Shockwave: Just as you showed kindness in my adaptation from one dimension to another, I will create a program and a faction that will show kindness to those who wish to adapt from a time of war, to a time of peace. They needn't give up their original faction if they so wish, but any crimes of their past will be forgotten...provided they can prove they truly wish to return to Cybertron, and make the changes necessary for it. - And almost all Decepticons do. - They must prove that they are willing to reform their original thoughts of the Autobots, the Decepticons, and the war, and open to a new area. An era of peace.

Centinela: Shockwave... - Centinela chuckled quietly. - It sounds perfect.

And with that, the Reform program and the Reformed faction was born, from the love, communication and understanding from what was once a forbidden love.
