[ms-demeanor]

is there a difference between a nutritionist and a dietician or are those terms interchangeable?

Those terms are extremely not interchangeable.

In the US you've got RD and RDN, registered dietician and registered dietician nutritionist. Both of those are protected terms that require a specific degree, post-graduate education, board certification, and a supervised internship.

Nutritionist on its own, without the RD in front of it, MAY be a title with some meaning in certain locations but you have to check for local requirements.

For instance, in California there is no protection whatsoever for the word "Nutritionist" and I can legally call myself a nutritionist and start offering diet advice right now if I wanted to. I could have done that two years ago before I took even one nutrition or anatomy class. As a community college student who has NOT completed my AS-T in nutrition I have gone above and beyond what is required of nutritionists in California by taking a single 200-level nutrition class.

If someone in the US calls themself a "Nutritionist" you should hear alarm bells and they shouldn't stop until you've figured out where they practice, where they got their degree, and if their degree has anything to do with whether they're allowed to call themselves a nutritionist in the area they practice.

I did this the other day with Abra Pappa, who is a "licensed dietician nutritionist" in New York whose education *absolutely does not* give her the right to use that title because she did not get her degree from a school with an ACEND accredited nutrition program (a BS from an ACEND accredited program is the bare minimum of what you need to be an RD in the US; RDN requires an ACEND program or equivalent for undergrad (so maybe you've got a chemistry BS and then you take a bunch more nutrition specific classes before grad school) and then an ACEND program for your MS.)

Bonnie, the former Agent Jackalope!

The last of the original Glamrocks, with a superficially mellow personality. He’s calm and calculating during missions, and through his polite but approachable attitude fostered a tendency of others underestimating him. 

The only people who know that there’s more to him are his friends - Freddy, Chica, and Foxy. Foxy loves annoying him because it’s the easiest way to get him to snap, and then the petty and snarky Bonnie comes out. Gossips like a house-wife, and pulls no punches. None of those punches are ever serious, he’s petty, not a full on asshole, and Foxy (the most common target due to his habits) laughs at them more than anyone. It’s in good humor, and Bonnie very much enjoys being the entertaining complainer.

He’s still also friendly, it just happens to be the act he has to put on during work most often too. The snark is catharsis, but most of the time he’s happy to sit back and just joke around with his friends. 

When Foxy first started asking questions and directing criticism towards the higher ups, Bonnie didn’t necessarily disagree - but he also did not feel like openly antagonizing his employer. Not when he knows what kind of dirty work he does for said employer, and thus knows that they are not above underhanded techniques to silence threats. So he, like Chica, tried talking Foxy out of his approach, while Freddy was the most vocal in his defense of Fez. 

And then Foxy “died”. 

Bonnie did not believe it - but he questioned himself, too frozen in the realization that his friend is gone. Is he simply stuck in denial, or is there really something fishy going on? He finds no evidence in the building Foxy was last seen in, but he knows Fez cleanup works fast and well. For a long time he doesn’t do much, just running through the same routine trying to make it through every day while doubts gnaw at him. 

But when Roxy comes in, much too soon after Foxy’s death, his suspicions rear their ugly heads again and he starts investigating in earnest. He’s quiet about it, quieter than Foxy. First, he talks to Roxy. Asks her about her age, when she started training, when Fez recruited her - and he does the math. It does not paint a pretty picture. He thanks her, quietly but genuinely, and when he notices how uncomfortable she is about the entire topic, he shoots her just a quick “You did nothing wrong.”

Despite being quiet, his investigation starts drawing management’s attention - and Bonnie sees the writing on the wall. His missions get riskier and more often end in fights and require cleanup. He starts moving his assets out of town. When he gets put in charge of a high stakes mission, teamed up with a newbie (as promising as he is), he’s immediately on edge. It’s not that he doesn’t get along with Monty - but there is tension between them, with Monty’s urge for quick action clashing with his own calculating attitude. Bonnie is the one to suggest a split, and Monty doesn’t disagree - they both feel like they need to cool off.

Bonnie gets ambushed, though he dispatches his assailants with minimal injury. But he realizes this is an opportunity that he won’t get again so quickly, and next time could be too late. There’s already splinters of his outer shell lying about, but he knows Fez will want more evidence of his “demise”. 

His left ear, already damaged, loses its top half, thrown towards the next wall where a few blood splatters already mar the paint. His loose left finger, in the opposite direction. For good measure he rips off the dented plating of his left arm too, where he shielded himself against a heavier blow. Because he knows Monty will be at risk on his own, he sends one last signal through their communicators, before crushing his on the ground, too. 

Now he has to be quick. He carries off the knocked out attackers, only leaving an ambiguous fight scene. 

And then agent Jackalope officially is no more. 

Bonnie keeps tabs on Abra Fez, though he now has to jump through many more hoops. He moves cities, focusing his investigation on his friends. Are they okay, or has Fez hurt them for his insubordination? He doesn’t like hearing about them grieving him, but doesn’t dare reveal himself to them either, remembering Freddy’s vehement protest at the suggestion that Fez does not care for its agents. 

And then Monty joins the Glamrocks, and despite Bonnie not disliking the guy, he hates it. Hates that he was replaced so quickly, hates that his friends will move on without him, hates that he can’t do anything about it until he has solid proof. 

So he stops checking up on the Glamrocks, and digs deeper. Who’s behind the code name “Hare”, leading Abra Fez from the shadows? What really happened to the late head of Fez, the one who recruited Freddy and built the agency from the ground up? When did animatronics become tools, and when did those tools become expendable? 

The answers aren’t pretty. 

And despite everything, he still doesn’t know what happened to Foxy. 

When his savings start running out, Bonnie takes a job at a local bowling alley, and has to relearn how to be social. He’s fumbling a bit more in the casual environment, but finds that the one or other snarky comment isn’t actually considered a faux pas, and then he starts enjoying it. It’s not the same, it’s not his friends who are all living without him, but it’s something, and beggars can’t be choosers. 

He’s boisterous and happy for everyone to see, but he never talks about his past and refuses to actually give out any information about himself. His coworkers appreciate him for his humor and ability to handle even the roughest customers while staying calm himself. When they ask where he learned that, he only ever declares he’s had practice, and nothing else. And then he goes home as soon as his shift is over, with no one knowing his address or even phone number, and never joins in on any after-work hangouts or the like. 

When Bonnie’s off work, and not charging, he continues investigating Fez. He deals with many shady individuals, still getting into the occasional fight when someone has second thoughts about sharing information with him, though he has managed to stay low enough to not draw Fez’ attention again. He makes a name for himself as a private investigator, and while not entirely accurate, it’s not wrong enough for him to tell anyone otherwise. Those gigs are much rarer, but he can be convinced to investigate other people’s matters, too. 

For a few years, that’s his life, and he figures it’s the best he’ll get. 

Though, then… Then Fez makes moves to settle in another city, and Bonnie hears about it. He hears about them being beaten back, and he starts wondering if perhaps he’s gone about things the wrong way, not seeking out allies. 

He prepares for another move. When he quits his job many are devastated, and he acts like it’s a regretful development. But for the first time in all those years, he’s buzzing with anticipation and something more - maybe hope. 

Hope of finally making headway against Fez, hope to finally find a new safety net, hope to perhaps even see his old friends again, and maybe his continued existence together with everything he has already collected on Fez will be enough to convince them to quiet, or at the very least believe him. 

But for once he’s also filled with a lot of anxiety restless energy, knowing that he’s just as likely to be found by Fez as by any agency opposing them, but it’s a risk he willingly takes. Turns out he’s done hiding, and done only playing pretend at being happy and social - he wants friends, his friends, and he wants all those things Fez originally took from him. 

And, well, once he does move, and gets to investigate in town… There are some very unexpected revelations to be had <3

Jews of Early America and the Wild West: Bringing the Forgotten from the Grave and Rethinking Their Lives

Back in 1660, the Puritan Minister Thomas Thorowgood speculated that certain Native Americans and Mexican Indigenous Groups, because they practised circumcision, cannibalism (as mentioned in Ezekiel) at times, used certain literary devices (parables) to communicate ideas and some seemingly Judaic rights, descended from Jewish stock(9). How did Jews find themselves in the Americas? It’s supposedly the fulfillment of Ezekiel 5.10, where as punishment for idol worship, the tribes of Israel were to be “scattered to the wind.” It’s all hokum based on conjecture and aspects of culture that are shared across the human experience, except circumcision and cannibalism of course.

Jewish Voices from the Past

Unsurprisingly, many years later, Jews were among those who settled America and the Wild West as well as peopled Ferdinand II’s expeditions to the New World. The West represented a land of hope and new beginnings for many disenfranchised Jews. This experiment in the birth of a new country based on equality was a place “where everything was just beginning and in the process of becoming and, to a certain extent, still is in that condition, where it is still possible to plant the seed of civilization in virgin soil, where the foundation of the structure of the new state of necessity implied the acknowledgment of the common origin of all men and their common right to equality (Israel Joseph Benjamin, My Year in California and the West (6)).” The New World had an allure, despite the potential dangers, it beckoned to those who were Zionists and those who sought a simpler life or merely freedom from persecution alike. In fact, In the earliest days of the American experiment, Isaac Isaacs can be found in Virginia’s public records. By the late 1800’s, Jews could be found as far west as California.

At the offset of the American experiment, conditions looked favorable for Jewish immigrants. In fact, Jews voted if no one challenged them to take a Christian oath and conducted public worship. And, in 1718 Jews won the privilege of naturalization through special acts of the Assembly, a privilege that enabled them to own land (3). However, life on this new frontier wasn’t easy for anyone, especially those Jews who came to the New World in pursuit of religious and economic freedoms. For instance, to obtain the same rights that other immigrants enjoyed, in 1706, Jews of New York City resorted to writing a kind of constitution for their own regulation (3). The years between 1906 and 1718 were hard for even those Jews living in metropolitan centers, business disregarded the rights that were granted by special assembly. In rural areas, the situation was even worse.

Rights aside, there’s a certain pain to becoming American, a loss of identity that only the immigrant understands. In less populated regions hardships were worsened by the lack of a Jewish community and antisemitic ideals forcing those who newly arrived in the New World to take on Gentile customs. For instance, Rebecca Samuels, a polish immigrant living in Petersburg Virginia, a small and isolated town, wrote this in a letter to her family during 1791:

Dear Parents,

I know quite well you will not want me to bring up my children like Gentiles. Here they cannot become anything else. Jewishness is pushed aside here. There are here [in Petersburg] ten or twelve Jews, and they are not worthy of being called Jews. We have a shochet here who goes to market and buys trefah [nonkosher] meat and then brings it home. On Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur the people worshipped here without one sefer torah and not one of them wore the talit or abra kanfot [the small fringes worn on the body], except Hyman and my Sammy’s godfather. The latter is an old man of sixty, a man from Holland. He has been in America for thirty years already, for twenty years he was in Charleston, and he has been living here for four years. He does not want to remain here any longer and will go with us to Charleston. In that place there is a blessed community of three hundred Jews.

You can believe me that I crave to see a synagogue to which I can go. The way we live now is no life at all. We do not know what the Sabbath and holidays are. On the Sabbath all the Jewish shops are open, and they do business on that day as they do throughout the week. But ours we do not allow to open. With us there is still some Sabbath. You must believe me that in our house we all live as Jews as much as we can.

All the people who hear that we are leaving give us their blessings. They say that it is sinful that such blessed children should be brought up here in Petersburg. My children cannot learn anything here, nothing Jewish, nothing of general culture. My Schoene [my daughter], God bless her, is already three years old, I think it is time that she should learn something, and she has a good head to learn. I have taught her the bedtime prayers and grace after meals…(5)

As early as 1759, Newport Rhode Island had a vibrant Jewish community and synagogue, but places like Richmond Virginia didn’t get a place of worship until 1789, Temple Beth Shalom (5).Despite writing the letter in 1791 and the Thomas Jefferson have written the Bill to Establish Religious Freedom in 1779 church and state hadn’t been fully pulled. Besides, Rebecca would’ve still been pressured to live and raise her children like a Gentile.

In contrast, Abigail Minis is, in my opinion, one of the most heart warming biographies herein, she was the embodiment of the spirit of the western frontier. She was a 70 year old widow at the time of the Revolutionary War who made kosher meals for the revolutionary army and fled British occupied Savannah for Charleston. She wrote this to Mordacai Sheftall Esquire, the highest ranking Jewish officer in the colonial forces:

Dear Sir,

Enclosed I have sent you a copy of certificates given me for sundry Articles provision, [?] delivered the Allied Army When before the lines of Savannah in September 1779 immediately after the Surrender of this Town to the British I gave the Original Certificate to General Lincoln. Who promised to have settled and paid, but the communication between Philadelphia [the US capital at the time] and this place being totally stopt [I] have not heard from him(5).

If Jews had few rights at the time, even in metropolitan centers rights were granted and revoked or granted and dismissed by businessmen (3) Jewish women of the Frontier had even fewer rights and freedoms. Most women of this period made a name for themselves by proxy, Betsy Ross, for example, only became the seamstress of the flag through marriage. Early American women lived through their husband’s accomplishments. Yet, Abigail Minis bumped elbow’s with the elite and even ran her own inn. She broke the rules, where Rebecca lived the life of the Jew who was broken by Gentile society, Abigail made her own rules. Minis is the embodiment of the American experiment and the westward expansion.

It wasn’t just Abigail and Rebecca who had to buck the system and carve their own path. Michael Allen was a chaplain for Northern Jewish soldiers during the Civil War. “Although Allen had never been ordained, he was allowed to act in place of an ordained Rabbi because there were so many Jewish soldiers in the Cameron Dragoons, who were mounted soldiers with heavy arms.” Interestingly, a special act of Congress had to be passed in order for Allen to perform his duties, because he wasn’t a Christian(4). This incident occurred well past it was declared that the “free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship without discrimination or preference, shall forever hereafter be.” In New York, Jews had won the right to bury their dead within city limits(5), but on the battlefields, where the dangers of both being scalped and killed by the Confederate Army prevailed, a special act was required for a Rabbi to say the Kaddish with mourners.

Between 1848 and 1888 the Gold Rush drew people from all walks of life out west. The promise of financial freedom and overall freedom was alluring to Jewish pioneers. You may be surprised to find that Jews “constituted on of the more prominent ethnic groups of the California Gold Rush (10).” A modern, hands-on approach was used to determine if individuals of the Gold Rush era or any period in American history were Jews. To find the forgotten Jews of the Gold Rush the writers of The Jews in the California Gold Rush used the inscriptions of gravestones, public documents in county courthouses, probate records, newspaper and Jewish organizations. It’s said that “the Gold Rush was a significant event in Jewish history because it placed Jews side by side with a large and diverse group of races, religions, and nationalities. At first, the Jews were strangers who made their homes among strangers, but they became friendly with their Gentile neighbours and were soon important figures in the communities in which they lived. They established themselves in business, and they also remained true to their ancestral faith by forming benevolent societies, establishing separate cemeteries, and conducting worship services (10).” Too bad these histories were largely forgotten until recently, not to mention, this is a somewhat optimistic notion of living among less than accepting Gentiles.

Why were early American Jewish contributions to the Wild West and Frontier left out of history books? This is because, the chronicles of Jews in America had always focused on “the metropolitan centers of the East and Middle West(6).” Accounts of Jews in the American West had long been considered “peripheral to mainstream Jewish America, at best and tributary and derivative and of no serious interest(6).” But there were Jewish pioneers wearing kippah under their ten gallon hats. It just took 100 years to discover this. In the 1960’s, among Social Scientists, methods of research became more hands-on, as earlier noted, and historians and the like scoured dusty genealogies left to rot in old west courthouses and microfiche to unearth the forgotten, or never known, legacies of Jews of early America and the Wild West(6). Most Jews of this American era disguised themselves as Gentiles to escape persecution and fit into the society at large. Jewish rights in the old west were tentative at best, granted and revoked or just ignored. For example, during the election of 1737 Jews were disallowed to vote for assemblymen or give testimony in a court of law(3). Those rights that were granted in 1718 suddenly evaporated. In the end, those rights that the Jews of New York made a “constitution of their own ‘’ to protect had been taken away again. It was best to fiend the life of a Gentile on the new Frontier.

Despite the tentative status of Jewish rights in the New World, Jewish communities in America were established in New York as early as 1654, followed by communities in

A few small communities in the original colonies withstanding, Jews didn’t begin to see America as a possible place to recreate Zion, a new land to prosper without persecution until much later. In fact, the first attempts to create communes didn’t happen until in the 1820’s in Florida. Later, in 1881 Jews attempted to make a colony on Sicily Island Louisiana. In 1882 there were several attempts to establish Jewish colonies in S. Dakota but all 6 colonies failed due to crops and malaria. And, in 1904 a colony was established in Colorado but it too failed. Some of the most notable examples of the American Kibbutz are the New Odessa and Clarion colonies. To make forge this community, JACA and The Jewish Agricultural Aid Society purchased 6,085 acres of public land in Sanpete County, Utah. The initial plan was to settle roughly 200 families on the colony, with the number eventually growing to 1,000 families(6). The New Odessa Community was a land where Russians could escape persecution from the Russian Czar.

Biographies of Early American Jews

To Carvalho’s dismay, the expedition already had a photographer, a man who I can only find his last name, Bomar. Bomar used the wax method but Carvalho championed the daguerreotype method for processing film. Fremont held a contest between the two men, speed was the deciding factor. In the end, Bomar’s wax process required more time and would have caused delays(4).

So, Carvalho became the expedition’s official photographer. Along this voyage, Carvalho met Brigham Young, the founder of the Church of Latter Day Saints and Governor. It was in Utah, in the midst of a massacre, with Brigham Young that Carvalho met the Ute Chief, Wakara. He said of the Ute Indians:

“The first principle among them was life for life; it made no difference whether, in their wrath they massacred an innocent, or an unoffending man; a white man slew my brother, my duty is to avenge his death, by killing a white man. Their first Open demonstration was the massacre of Gunnison; and the allied troops of Utahs, Pahutes, Parvains, and Payedes determined to continue in open hostility, both to the Mormons, and Americans(1).”

When Young’s cavalcade arrived at the Ute camp he sent the message that he was ready to meet with Wakara. Wakara responded with “If Gov. Young wanted to see him, he must come to him at his camp, as he did not intend to leave it to see any body.” When this message was delivered to Young, he gave orders for the whole cavalcade to proceed to [the] camp. If the mountain will not come to Muhomet, Muhomet must go to the mountain(1).” When the cavalcade entered the camp, they found Wakara surrounded by 15 old chiefs.

Carvalho noted that “[Wakara] stood upon the dignity of his position, and feeling himself the representative of an aggrieved and much injured people, acted as though a cessation of hostilities by the Indians was to be solicited on the part of the Whites, and he felt great indifference about the result.” Negations for a peace treaty went on and Carvalho remained in camp, near Wakara’s Village until next day, he was able to get Wakara agree to sit for his portrait as well as Chief Squaeh-head, Baptiste, Grosepine, Petetnit and Kanoehe, the Chief of the Parvain Indians(1). Of Carvalho’s work, portrait of an Ute Chief, 1854, is the most striking.

Later, accompanied by two interpreters and several other gentlemen, “we proceeded to the Indian’s camp, to see their celebrated Chieftain, Kanoshe, whose portrait I was anxious to obtain. I found him well armed with a rifle and pistols, and mounted on a noble horse. He immediately consented to my request that he would sit for his portrait; and on the spot, after an hour’s labor, I produced a strong likeness of him, which he was very curious to see. I opened my portfolio and displayed the portraits of a number of other Ute chiefs, among which he selected Wakara, the celebrated Terror of Travellers, anglicised Walker, (since dead). He took hold of it and wanted to retain it(1).” Throughout this article, I’ve given my interpretation of the scene, but this needs none. I don’t know if one might say that Carvalho found the best of all possible worlds in Utah, living among Indians and in constant danger, or if life would’ve been better for him in the relative safety of New York. The painting now resides in the Thomas Gilcrease Institute of American History and Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Rather than give a single biography of a Gold Rush era Jew, I believe that the reader is aware of life during the period, if was wrought with hardship, it was a time of physical labor and a time of feast and famine for the average panhandler, I’d rather include excerpts from newspapers that describe the general attitude towards those who ventured to California to unearth what lay beneath the ground.

A Jew of our acquaintance came in to his neighbor’s place of business, yesterday morning, bringing an intolerable smell with him, and, “fast as a little wagon,” made the announcement that he had killed a “vesel [weasel],” in his “schicken house.” He said the animal was “black, mit a vite tail, and schtinks like de tuyvel [with a little tale and stinks like a turtle].” A wicked wag, next door, persuaded the victor to bring in his trophy, as he wanted to buy the skin. The Jew soon appeared and drew from his pocket a half grown pole cat(10).”

The Wild West wasn’t Zion, nor a land of dignity where “acknowledgment of the common origin of all men and their common right to equality” existed. In fact, The Grass Valley Union posted this:

Dead at Last… We had almost forgotten to say that it undertook to run all the disloyal Irish and Jews out of the State…. It is now thoroughly dead, we are assured — dead beyond the power of resurrection — and the general opinion is that it lived too long. Sorrowers over its death are found only among the poor printers who were swindled out of their wages(10).

Gold Rush California was yet another land of antisemitism. On the few occasions when local Jews battled Gentiles, the newspaper editor was likely to report the event in as much detail and as humorously as he was able.

Volcano Items. The Spring Fights Commenced. — What the boys call the “spring fights,” in Volcano, commenced on Sunday last. On the forenoon of that day, a son of Isreal [tit], whose proportions are not gigantic, desired and insisted that a portly Gentile, of robust dimentions [ski, should pay to him, the said son of Israel, a sum of money due for a rig of “store clothse” [sk]. Hard words ensued, whereupon the Gentile seized the Jew by the capillary substance that vegetates upon the summit of the cranium. The Jew seized a hatchet, and cut the Gentile on the hand. So ended the first heat. — In the afternoon, they again met at the store of the Israelite. Big Gentile seized little Jew by the aforesaid capilary [sic] substance; this time, the latter had a “sticker” that horses are bled with, and the Gentile was cut in divers and sundry places, insomuch that blood flowed profusely. The Gentile was cared for by a physician, and the Jew was terribly frightened lest the populace should become excited and hang him and all his friends(10).

Sadly, exaggeration and biased media existed during the Gold Rush too. Where the first example was merely supposed to be humorous, the last may be perceived as an incitement of violence. Something that was common in Gold Rush era California. In fact, because Jews were upright citizens and posed a threat to General Grant’s election, it was stated that:

For alleged trading infractions along Union and Confederate lines during the Civil War, General Grant had issued General Order №11 from Holly Spring, Mississippi, December 17, 1862, concerning the military department of Tennessee: The jews, as a class violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department and also department orders, are hereby expelled from the department within twenty-four hours from the receipt of this order(10).

You may have strongly mixed emotions about this but the hero of The Battle of Beecher Island, 1868, was Sigmund Schlesinger, there he fought off 1,000 Cheyenne, Oglala Sioux, Arapahos, Kiowas and Comanches over 9 days. The band of Indians was led by the great Cheyenne warrior, Chief Roman. Schlesinger was a darkhorse. General B. Fry had this to say about Schlesinger: “[he] seemed to be inferior, in all respects unfit for service; a Jew, small with narrow shoulders, sunken chest, quiet manner and pipey voice, and little knowledge of firearms or horsemanship; he was indeed unpromising(4).” Yet, this Hungarian immigrant, despite seeming unfit for battle, was victorious.

Later, in 1895, there was much disbelief about Schlesinger’s role in the battle, to clear this up Colonel Forsysth recounted the story to Harper’s Magazine: “as for the little Jew…! Well, the Indian that from dawn to dusk was incautious enough to expose any part of his person within the range of his rifle had no cause to complain of a want of marked attention on the part of that brave and active young Israelite…in fact, he most worthily, proved himself a gallant soldier among brave men(4).”

This is one of the most interesting tales of Jews in the Wild West. During 1885 Solomon Bibo was married to an Acoma Indian, a Pueblo native group who inhabited New Mexico, named Juana Valle. Valle was the daughter of the Acoma Governor. Because he bought the rights to the Pueblo land and married a Acoma Governess, Bibo eventually became the Jewish Indian Chief.

During 1846, the United States acquired New Mexico. At that time, Indians lost their land. In 1848, in accordance with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the Acoma were no longer considered Indians and eligible to get their land back. But, “when a survey of Acoma lands was finally taken in 1858 the Indians could offer little proof of their original boundaries, since they had no maps or stakes before the arrival of the first explorers. Even though additional surveys were made in 1876 and 1877, the outcome for their claims were unfavorable. In 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes agreed with the survey of 1858 and [the] Acoma received its share of 94,196 acres, which was far less than the residents believed themselves entitled to(4).” In April. 1884. a year before Solomon’s marriage to Juana, the Acoma tribe leased the entire 94.196 acres to Solomon Bibo. A period of thirty years the Indians signed away their rights to Bibo. On October 1888 it was declared that:

That’s how Solomon Bibo became Don Solomono, the Jewish Indian Chief. Many believe his motivations to have been nefarious, they believe that he simply wanted the right to trade with this indigenous population, something he had applied for and was rejected for several times.

In his defense, reports from the Bureau of Ethnology substantiates by inference that Solomon Bibo could not have persuaded the Acomas to do what they did not desire to do. In fact, Solomon Bibo was accepted and trusted by the Acomas. Or as stated by Leslie A White:

Acoma’s early reputation for vigorous unfriendliness to the whites has been maintained to this day [1929] … Government officials and employees, representatives of religious organizations, and tourists well know the difficulties which confront a white man or woman at Acoma. The Acoma people are suspicious, distrustful and unfriendly. In addition to their constant fears that they may have their land taken away from them … they are even on guard to prevent any information concerning their ceremonies from becoming known lest they be suppressed (or ridiculed) by the whites(8).

Moreover, friend of Juana and Solomon, the historian and archaeologist Charles Lummis, dedicated one of his books to Solomon and Juana. It rend:

To Sol and Juana Bibo. whom I have known and loved for forty years. since the dear old days in New Mexico, when they were beginning that married life which has been, to this day, so beautiful an example and so rare an inspiration. Dona Juana. of the oldest aristocracy in this country. worthy daughter of the First Americans, whose noble grandfather first told me the story of the Enchanted Mesa. is a much finer type than the storied Pocahontas. and of hatter blood. Don Solomon has; left his mark all across New Mexico as one of the wisest. shrewdest, high-minded, most just and most generous of men that ever dealt with the natives of the Southwest(4).

Wrapping Up and Reinterpreting a Stereotype

Ending at the beginning much like the Torah, a 2000 year old tefflin was supposedly found in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1815(2). It is said to have ancient Hebrew on the scroll it contained. However, it was likely, if not a hoax or misinterpretation of the Paleo-Hebrew script for any text that originated by carving into stone or bone (constructed of straight lines), dropped by a Jewish Settler In 1851, Elkehah Watson wrote:

“I am more inclined to believe that [the tefflin] belonged to the well-known Connecticut family of that name which was early settled in Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk. But whether lost by an early settler or dropped by some pioneer traveler, the finding of the phylacteries at Pittsfield affords only another indication of the ubiquity of the Jew in early colonial America(2).”

There’s no evidence that Native Americans descend from Jews or that the exodus from Israel was G-D casting the Jews to the 4 corners of the earth as prophesied in Ezekiel, however, not surprisingly, there were Jews who settled America, lived among the Indians and herded cattle. There’s a ubiquity to it, Jews needed a home, a place to regroup and start again, America offered that. As Jews, we are tenacious as the Olive Tree’s root, resourceful and full of fortitude, both emotional and physical. Like the rest of Jewish history, our history on the American Frontier is turbulent, human, filled with ups and downs… Yet, we’ve survived and some of us will be recalled as pioneers of the Wild West.

Finally, I would like to leave you with this poem written by Colonel Forsyth about Sigmund Schlesinger but it refers to all Jews in the Wild West and those brave souls who reclaimed Israel and continue to fight today in the face of another wave of antisemitism:

When the fee charged on the breastworks,

With madness and despair,

And the bravest souls were tested,

The little Jew was there.

When the weary dozed on duty

And the wounded needed care,

When another shot was called for,

The little Jew was there.

With the festering dead around them,

Shedding poison in the air,

When the crippled chieftan ordered,

The little Jew was there.

In the mind’s of many, we may be little, but we are there, America, leading in innovation and working towards the greater good of humanity, despite a cultural climate that sometimes despises us or uses us as a scapegoat. As an endnote, I’ve neglected to mention many pioneering Jews of early America, like the man who transported the Liberty Bell on a voyage from the West Indies, the man who saved Mote Cello… There’s just not enough room to mention everyone who contributed to what we now know as America.

WAIT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT PROTAG DADVENTON AND MOM CYLLENE BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THOUGHTS ™ ABOUT THIS FOR MONTHS

Imagine a scenario in which Cyllene and Laventon have been straight up married for the past few years. The prospect of having kids is briefly brought up before they mutually decide to put the discussion off for later. Lo and behold, the very next day, Arceus itself bestows upon them A Teenager with a concerning lack of parental figures. There's a span of like a week where Laventon panics thinking he accidentally willed himself a daughter/son

Laventon shows his parental concern by being overly doting and cautious, while Cyllene shows parental concern by like, handing her teenager a sword for self defense and telling them not to die.

On that note: throughout the game, Cyllene's concern for the protag's safety is pretty obvious under her veneer of being cold and professional. Just imagine her giving Akari/Rei basic swordsmanship lessons under the guise of "survey corp survival training" or whatev, but it's painfully obvious she's just really concerned about all the dangerous encounters they're being sent on and wants to protect her kid the only way she really knows how.

During the whole banishment debacle Laventon makes Cyllene's Abra bring the protag a hand-packed lunch every day they're gone. Every time Abra comes back, it's with an excessive armload of extra stuff both Lav and Cyllene asked it to bring out of concern.

Cyllene would be absolutely TERRIFYING during the banishment arc. Kamado is pretty dense about the whole situation and didn't realize he basically just kicked his right hand man's kid to the curb. Any sort of bad end situation where protag fails to come home would 100% end in her trying to usurp him or something.

In the end when Akari/Rei goes off to return to their own time, Lav and Cyllene watch them go like two cliche teary-eyed parents sending their kids off to college.

[ Laventon, watching God send his foster kid of 18 months through the fabric of reality: *wipes tears* "they grow up so fast :(" ]

If there was any way for them to communicate through time/space, even just briefly, I like to think Johannah (the d/p/pt protag's canonical mother) would thank the two for looking after her child.

On a funnier note, the best part about the surveyshipping protag adoption dynamic is the implication that Cyrus got his ass whooped by his twelve year old great-great-great-grand aunt/uncle

I assume Cyrus would be into his family's legacy and the history of Team Galactic, so he's almost certainly seen a photo of the protag with his ancestor at some point (and likely heard of their role in Sinnohian history.) He does a double take the first time he's confronted by Dawn because he's like???? Is that my quadruple-great grandma's legendary estranged daughter.

I'm done being insane about them for now I just needed to get this off my chest lol

I was actually specifically referencing my beloved Dadventon AU that lives in my head rent-free all the time all the time BUT I love all of this anon you are so valid and it's fantastic AND you don't have to apologize my ask box is a great place to be insane about your blorbos I love it

but yeah Lav accidentally thinking he Summoned a child is fucking hilarious dkjfdlk and YES I def love the idea of Cyllene passing on her sword skills to Akari and/or Rei (in part bcs of this wonderful fic ngl) and I dig the idea of it being a way for her to show that she cares in an actions speak louder than words kind of way that also meshes well with the whole "in the galaxy team they don't say I love you they say 'don't die' and I think that's beautiful" concept that I'm such a sucker for

Also rip Cyrus he is not getting out of this one with his dignity intact. Like you think Volo or the protag or whoever had beef with Arceus just wait until Cyrus finds out as a direct result of this teen getting sent back in time he is now never going to know a moment of peace like indeed, the biggest F

And Johanna being like *fist bump through space and time* thanks for taking care of my kid you guys rule just yes (like gee Dawn how come the narrative lets you have three parents??)

Anyway anon you are valid thank you for your rambles I love them never apologize <3 <3

#I am still thinking about that dadventon au bad end tho MAN does that live in my head rent free #it's SO FUCKING SAD I love it #long post

Things to do in Dubai in January 2023

The winter season, from November to April, is the ideal time to visit Dubai.

The Dubai Shopping Festival, which brings the city to life, has made it vibrant and full of light. Not the one who enjoys shopping? When the weather is nice, you may relax on the beach or have a beautiful brunch outside!

We have a list prepared for you after you get your emirates visa for Pakistan citizens whether you are visiting Dubai on vacation or simply for a brief layover. The top 10 activities to do in Dubai in January 2023 are listed below! Apply emirates visa for Pakistan nationals immediately to enjoy all the things to do in Dubai.

1. Take a City Tour or the Old Dubai Walking Tour

Dubai has developed into a bustling metropolis and the most well-liked travel destination in the Middle East.

Because it likes to have the finest of everything, the megacity has earned the moniker "land of superlatives."

Every day, the capital of the Emirate of Dubai sets a new benchmark for excellence for the rest of the globe, from infrastructure to way of life.

The city's humble beginnings as a small fishing community keep Dubai grounded and are in stark contrast to the level of development it has attained.

A Dubai city tour is the finest way to see everything the city has to offer.

Who doesn't adore high-rise structures, culture, and skyscrapers? We make sure to give you a taste of both sides of Dubai on our city tour, which combines all of these elements.

You might be zipping through the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, in the skies one second, and then taking a traditional Abra ride through Dubai's busy waterways the next.

To obtain a sense of the city's past, you must visit the thriving spice and gold souks.

Every day at 10 am and 4 pm through January | Private tours can begin whenever is most convenient Old Dubai Heritage and Souks Walking Tour

Our most well-known and popular tour is the Old Dubai Heritage and Souks Walking Tour.

It happens in Dubai's oldest district, Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, formerly Bastakiya.

Dubai is renowned for its gloss and elegance, but before the oil discoveries or the tourism boom, the city was considerably different. Back then, fishermen, divers, and Bedouins lived in Dubai.

We will cross the creek on the Abra boat and stop at the Coffee Museum, Dubai Museum, Spice Souk, and Gold Souk on this tour.

The Creek, which originally divided the city into Deira and Bur Dubai, is the historical center of Dubai.

Before the 1963 building of Al Maktoum Bridge, Dubai's first bridge, the only method to travel between the two sides was on a flimsy tiny wooden boat known as an abra. It's still without a doubt the most enjoyable (and inexpensive) way to travel.

For individuals who want to reserve a deluxe tour for themselves, we offer this tour daily as both public and private excursions.

The ideal way to explore this area of the city is to take our Old Dubai Walking Tour!

2. Enjoy the Fireworks

Dubai is a popular destination on New Year's Eve, and the United Arab Emirates celebrates New Year's Day as a national holiday.

It is not surprising that tourists from the surrounding nations and the rest of the world begin to arrive given the incredible fireworks displays and the opportunity to take part in some of the lavish New Year's celebrations in Dubai for free.

For a week following New Year's Day, fireworks displays are held in the evening in various locations throughout the city, including Palm Jumeirah, JBR Walk, Al Seef, and La Mer.

For a week following New Year's Day, fireworks displays are held in the evening in various locations throughout the city, including Palm Jumeirah, JBR Walk, Al Seef, and La Mer.

The Dubai Festivals & Retail Establishment, a division of the Dubai Department of Tourism, organizes DSF every year as a one-month-long event.

Shops give discounts on various goods throughout the celebration. There are daily prize draws and raffles where you can win things like gold and vehicles.

Additionally, the malls typically keep extended hours, giving you plenty of time to shop until you drop!

Like every other celebration in Dubai, DSF is observed with fanfare and display. This suggests there are other activities outside buying that might satisfy your spirit.

In addition to shopping, there is a tonne of events, fireworks, film festivals, and music performances that you can attend here.

4. Take the Dhow Cruise or a Yacht

On a classic Arabic boat, enjoy a calm evening filled with fun and entertainment.

An upbeat Dhow Cruise is known for its Tanura dancers and their vibrant outfits.

The evening buffet on dhow cruises typically consists of three courses. Drifting through the creek while seeing the vibrant reflections of Dubai's stunningly lit cityscape on the water is a truly spectacular experience.

Since there are many photo opportunities, be sure to pack your camera. It's the ideal remedy for the hectic pace of the city.

We advise taking a yacht from the Dubai Marina area if you'd prefer a more private experience.

Navigate to Bluewaters Island through the Dubai Marina, then proceed to the Dubai Eye.

On the breakfast and lunch tours, you will pass the Atlantis as well as the renowned Jumeirah Beach and the Palm. You can choose to have breakfast on a yacht instead.

You have lots of chances to take Instagram-worthy pictures or cool off in the ocean!

5. Visit the Global Village

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) in Dubai is where you can find Global Village Dubai.

The first family-friendly cultural, retail, and entertainment destination in the area is Global Village, a multicultural festival park. It brings together the cultures of 90 different nations in one location.

The Global Village has a certain magic. The Global Village, which combines a market and a theme park, has pavilions with exhibits from nearby and far-off nations where guests may purchase local delicacies and handicrafts.

In just a few hours, visitors to this festival site can travel the globe and experience various cultures.

The pavilions, which are modeled after famous buildings or regional buildings, invite visitors to meander from London's Big Ben to Italy's leaning tower of Pisa.

Travel back in time to Ancient Egypt or take pictures against the lovely Taj Mahal backdrop.

The brilliant lights and vivacious atmosphere created by parades and all kinds of events, from fire-breathing street displays to star-studded concerts, will captivate both children and adults.

The biggest funfair in the area also offers a tonne of exciting rides and activities for even more enjoyment.

Watch out for Globo, the mascot of Global Village, as he travels the world with Scaredy Bat and other characters.

For all the outdoor entertainment this season, go to Global Village.

6. Dubai Desert Classic

The Majlis Course of Emirates Golf Club hosts the Dubai Desert Classic, an annual European Tour golf event.

It was the first European Tour tournament to be held in the Arabian Peninsula when it was launched in 1989, but it is currently one of six.

Legendary golfers like Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, and Tiger Woods have won this "Major of the Middle East."

The 35th edition of the competition will take place in January, and there are more events scheduled both on and off the course than ever before.

This competition, which will undoubtedly feature the best golfers in the world, is a must-see for all golf enthusiasts.

7. Enjoy a Musical night at the Dubai Opera

The Dubai Opera, although having just recently opened its doors in 2016, has swiftly emerged as one of the city's most prized cultural gems.

Operatic performances, ice shows, ballet dances, symphonic productions, illusionist acts, musicals, and more have all been presented in the 1900-seat performing arts facility.

At the box office of the Dubai Opera, you can purchase tickets in person. The Box Office is open every day from 10 am to 9 pm and is situated on the Opera Plaza on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard.

Key Takeaways Blur is a brand-new NFT market that accommodates professional and high-volume traders. The platform presents numerous highly-requested functions such as arranging NFTs by characteristic flooring rate and real-time rate feeds. However, Blur's lots of functions and in-depth control panel might make it intimidating to utilize for more casual NFT purchasers. Blur takes NFT trading to the next level with a host of brand-new, ingenious functions. What Is Blur? A brand-new NFT market is making waves on Ethereum. Blur is a community-driven NFT market and aggregator developed with professional traders in mind. It presents numerous brand-new functions and quality-of-life updates over other leading markets, making the NFT trading experience more structured and user-friendly. The platform aggregates NFT listings from leading markets like OpenSea, LooksRare, and X2Y2, while likewise permitting users to note their properties natively on Blur. Unlike lots of other NFT markets that charge a commission on trades, Blur preserves 0% charges for offering NFTs. The market was initially revealed in March 2022 and drew in a strong social following by motivating those who discovered the in-development platform to refer pals to a waitlist. Those with the most recommendations and a couple of choose neighborhood members were admitted to evaluate Blur in closed beta prior to it introduced to the general public on October19 Crypto Briefing had a look at Blur to see if the current advancement on the planet of NFT trading has actually deserved the wait. We've evaluated it in 5 essential locations: ease of usage, functions, group and backers, tokenomics, and just how much traction it has actually produced up until now. Here's what we believed. Ease of Use (3/5) Getting begun with Blur is easy. After browsing to the platform's landing page, users are triggered to link their Web3 wallet (it presently supports MetaMask and WalletConnect wallets) and begin checking out the different NFT collections on the website. Collections are noted in order of their one-day trading volume by default and exist in such a way that reveals essential information points such as flooring cost, variety of owners, and numerous cost and volume metrics at a glimpse. Users can likewise see all the Ethereum-based NFTs in their wallet by means of Blur's portfolio tab. Here, it's simple to track noted NFTs, their rarities, approximated collection worth, and even a rough life time earnings and loss declaration. Blur's user interface is extremely adjustable. Users can change in between numerous views, such as lists and tiles, when browsing collections, depending upon their choice. Unlike OpenSea, where users require to change tabs to see sales history or other analytics, on Blur shows whatever on a single page, making it much easier to gain access to and compare all pertinent collection information. Other little availability functions, such as dark/light mode, gas charge trackers, and an ETH cost feed, likewise come as requirement. However, while Blur's user interface isn't doing not have in information, the quantity of information revealed on screen can be intimidating for less knowledgeable users. The platform seems like it's targeting sophisticated users and is more similar to a Bloomberg Terminal than the easy to use user interfaces of eBay or Amazon. With a lot details on the screen at one time, browsing the user interface can take a little bit of getting utilized to. For those prepared to take the time to get utilized to what Blur has to use, the advantages over other NFT markets are clear. Overall, while Blur isn't tough to utilize, it might absolutely be made more inviting. Furthermore, though the platform's retro wave visual provides it lots of character, the extreme orange tones and clashing monochrome combination might make the user experience abrasive for some. Features (5/5) What Blur might do not have in availability, it more than offsets with its abundance of ingenious functions.

The platform declares that it adds to 10 times faster than other NFT aggregators, revealing pending deals on NFTs in less than a 2nd, and upgrading listings every 4 seconds. The lightning-fast pending deals show, integrated with near-instant metadata updates on collection art exposes, offers Blur users a substantial benefit in sniping NFTs. In addition, Blur's gas concern presets assist users outcompete those purchasing NFTs through other exchanges or aggregators by getting their purchase deals processed. The cherry on top is that Blur's agreements are more enhanced than other markets, conserving users as much as 17% on gas costs. Another widely-praised function is how Blur's user interface plainly shows the rarity of various NFT characteristics and even enables users to see the flooring rate for particular characteristics. Rather of trawling through listings and previous sales to properly value your above-floor-price NFTs, Blur does all the effort for you by discovering the most affordable listings for each private characteristic and providing the information in a quickly absorbable format. This function assists users precisely value their own properties and can likewise assist those aiming to snipe NFTs with underestimated qualities. Blur likewise stands out ahead of its rivals by using tools to assist users "sweep the flooring"-- slang for purchasing numerous of the lowest-priced NFTs from a provided collection. All collections include a flooring depth chart demonstrating how lots of NFTs are noted at different periods above the flooring, assisting potential sweepers picture how their purchases will affect the marketplace. Sweeping on Blur likewise consists of a number of crucial quality-of-life updates, such as avoiding NFTs that currently have pending deals (once again, assisting in saving gas) and avoiding over NFTs marked as suspicious or taken. And when it concerns reselling those swept NFTs, Blur has actually users covered with its gas-optimized bulk listing and delisting functions. The only genuine criticism of Blur's functions is that they are presently just readily available for Ethereum-based NFTs. The Blur group has actually hinted that it prepares to incorporate NFTs on other chains such as Polygon in the future. Team and Backers (4/5) In March 2022, Blur raised $11 million in its seed round led by leading crypto equity capital company Paradigm. As one of crypto's most effective VC companies, Paradigm's financial investment in Blur ought to not be undervalued. The company has actually formerly backed lots of winners in the NFT area, with markets OpenSea and Magic Eden likewise holding areas in its portfolio. The raise likewise saw involvement from a number of significant gamers in the NFT and crypto scene, such as the pseudonymous collectors 6529, Cozomo de' Medici, Zeneca, and MoonOverlord. Assistance from NFT believed leaders like these are likewise an excellent indication and reveals that Blur's rewards are likely more carefully lined up with the more comprehensive NFT neighborhood. However, while the quality of Blur's backers and financiers is high, there is still one essential element that users ought to comprehend. The whole Blur group is presently confidential, selecting not to expose their real-life identities and rather interact through pseudonymous online personalities. Confidential groups like Blur are not unusual in crypto-- a few of the area's finest and most relied on designers have actually likewise picked to stay confidential. When a group is confidential, it restricts its responsibility. It is totally possible a staff member might turn rogue and harm the job in the future. Another issue is that a core staff member's identity might be exposed as somebody with a less than the reliable background, as held true when Wonderland's 0xSifu was exposed to be the previous found guilty and QuadrigaCX co-founder Michael Patryn. Although we do not understand the identities of the Blur group, a minimum of a few of those who have actually invested most likely understand who lags it.

Financiers like Paradigm have a great performance history of purchasing respectable tasks, lowering the danger of nasty surprises. Furthermore, Blur has actually exposed that its staff member hold experience throughout MIT, Citadel, Five Rings Capital, Twitch, Brex, Square, and Y Combinator, additional contributing to the task's respectability. Tokenomics (3/5) There's very little to be stated about Blur's token structure at the minute. The job has actually revealed a BLUR governance token will release through an airdrop in January 2023, necessary information such as the optimum supply and seed financier allotment have yet to be exposed. Still, the reality that Blur has actually verified a token puts it ahead of the leading NFT market OpenSea in regards to decentralization and rewarding its neighborhood. Blur has actually been extremely clear about what users can do in the token launch run-up to get a BLUR airdrop. Anybody who traded NFTs on Ethereum within the previous 6 months immediately certifies for at least one care plan of BLUR tokens. From here, there are a number of things users who both did and did not get the very first airdrop can do to make tokens in a 2nd, bigger drop set up for January. According to a Blur post, users can increase the quantity of BLUR tokens they get in January by noting NFTs from active collections, utilizing the platform's numerous listing tools, such as listing by flooring cost or characteristic flooring cost, and putting a minimum of 3 sweeps on collections through Blur. Furthermore, users who appreciate collection royalties rather of setting them to 0 will likewise get more tokens. Blur commitment will likewise impact the rarity of care plans got, with greater rarities yielding more tokens. To make sure a user's commitment remains high, they should note NFTs on Blur at the exact same or a lower rate than on other markets. Traction (4/5) In the 2 weeks given that Blur's public launch, it has actually produced a great quantity of usage amongst NFT lovers. According to the main Blur Twitter account, the platform surpassed Gem as the highest-volume NFT aggregator simply 3 days after its release. However, it wasn't up until the highly-anticipated Art Gobblers NFT mint on October 31 that Blur's real capacity was exposed. Thanks to Blur's real-time information feed of NFT sales and listings, those seeking to trade the Art Gobblers drop gathered to the platform in droves. Blur taped an everyday trading volume of 8,4537 ETH, not far behind leading market OpenSea's 12,275 ETH. A Dune control panel developed by user takamori reveals that the Art Gobbler's increase pressed Blur ahead of competing markets X2Y2 and LooksRare, putting it securely in the second area behind OpenSea for 30- day trading volume. In addition, comparing Dune information from users' sealaunch and rchen8 exposes that because Blur introduced on October 19, OpenSea's Ethereum trading volumes have actually signed up a noticeable decrease while Blur's increased, suggesting that a considerable quantity of trading volume has actually left the leading market for Blur. On social networks, Blur is likewise off to a strong start, acquiring over 127,000 Twitter fans and 108,000 Discord members. Even if just a portion of these fans begin utilizing the platform, Blur needs to have the ability to record a substantial piece of the NFT market share far from other platforms. It's likewise worth keeping in mind that Blur's airdrop project is most likely assisting to increase its trading volumes. Lots of NFT traders will be making a point to utilize Blur to increase their allowance of BLUR tokens. Whether these users will stay after the January airdrop stays to be seen. While it's still early days for Blur, the platform has actually done effectively to catch as much usage as it has in such a brief quantity of time. Blur is plainly on its method to ending up being an important and enduring piece of Web3 facilities. As the platform's target

audience is mainly professional traders, Blur might have problem growing with more recent entrants to the crypto and NFT area. This might restrict the platform's medium to long-lasting development if it does not discover a method to resolve this problem. Final Thoughts Blur reveals that regardless of the present crypto winter season, there are still active and devoted groups of designers who think in the long-lasting vision of crypto innovation. From a technical viewpoint, Blur blows other NFT markets and aggregators out of the water, and its usage throughout the Art Gobblers mint is a testimony to this reality. Still, although the quality of what Blur provides is not in concern, whether it can discover mass adoption may be. While there is a devoted neighborhood of hardcore NFT flippers who will likely specifically utilize Blur moving forward, more recent or more casual NFT purchasers might not see the functions Blur uses a rewarding tradeoff over the ease of usage offered by markets like OpenSea. As crypto and NFT adoption boosts, Blur likewise has the possible to grow its user base. If Blur desires a shot at surpassing OpenSea, it will require to discover a method to remain real to specialist traders while making its platform more available and friendly for a more comprehensive audience. In general, Crypto Briefing offers Blur a 4/5 ranking. Disclosure: At the time of composing this evaluation, the author owned ETH and a number of other crypto properties.

{aldis hodge; cisgender male; he/him} hey isn’t that ABRAHAM "ABRA" GUNNER? the THIRTY-SIX year old HUMAN is known to be INVENTIVE and INVESTIGATIVE. they have been in BOULDER CITY for FOUR MONTHS and always remind me of the click of a flashlight after sneaking inside, the muffled footsteps down linoleum tile, running away as a guard gives chase, and fox mulder jokes at work. will they still believe what they’ve been told all their life? 

[ PERSONALITY ]

He is playful and upbeat, trying to be both a good person and a good father. He isn’t sure what he’s doing most days, and sometimes the papers he gives back have a child’s scribble on it - which has gotten him in trouble a time or two. 

[ THE PAST ] 

Despite being raised by his father, a rear admiral in the US Army, he was mischievous youth who desired to know all the answers. His father’s job was often secretive, he grew up learning all about “security clearance” and the importance of being an upstanding citizen in order to learn the answers. Yet, Abra wanted nothing more than to learn. He applied himself to what he was good at and for a time, he slacked off on what he didn’t like. His father wasn’t going to allow that, and gave his son a firm talking to, telling him that he had to do more, be better, apply himself if he wanted to learn the things the world was hiding from him. 

Perhaps Abra wouldn’t have listened if his parents didn’t divorce. His sisters sided with their mother, and Abra sided with his father. He didn’t care that his father was often traveling, having to put work and country over family. Abra adored his father, and he was going to stay with him. As he was then traveling with his father, he learned more about him, began to understand why his father worked so hard as he did. 

Abra followed in his father’s footsteps, attending military school and then office academy before going in basic training. After 20 years in the military, having gone to college and furthered himself and got his bachelors, his masters and then his PhD. He applied himself as a robotics engineer, building machinery for the government in R&D, he ultimately had to retire due to a family issue that landed in his lap. 

A year before he moved to Boulder City, his mother called in tears. His sister, Rosaline, had died. She left her two year old child without someone who could care for her. His mother couldn’t take care of her, his sister - Iphigenia - lived a child-free life, his father offered to take her, but he was a retired old man. Abra made the decision to take in his niece and legally he is her guardian. At this point, the little girl Valeria - calls him “dad”. Abra moved to Boulder City to be close to his father, who is Valeria’s babysitter on the days when daycare isn’t open. He works at the local community college teaching introductory and mid-level robotics courses, and he also contracts with the local military base when there’s a robotics problem that needs assistance. 

[ PRESENT DAY ]

He misses the military and the structure, and yet he knows that he couldn’t have taken care of his niece/daughter. He builds wacky robots that don’t do much in the grand scheme of things - but he loves that he build what doesn’t need to destroy. As time goes on, he finds things that he regrets from his time in the military - what he’s built and what they did in the name of capitalistic advancement.

Brigada Eskwela, opisyal nang nagsimula sa pangunguna ni VP Sara

OPISYAL nang nagsimula ang taunang Brigada Eskwela ngayong araw. Sa Imus Pilot Elementary School, pinangunahan ni Vice President at Education Secretary Sara Duterte ang kick-off ng 2022 National Brigada Eskwela. “Excitement — because Brigada Eskwela activities all over the country always highlight the communal efforts of all education stakeholders to prepare our schools for our learners. We would see parents who are excited, willing, and happy to extend any help they could to ensure that our schools are ready to receive our learners from Day 1 of the opening of classes and onwards to the school year,” pahayag ni VP Sara. Ayon kay Education Undersecretary Gerard Chan, papayagan na ngayong taon ang paglilinis at pagkukumpuni ng mga silid-aralan matapos itong ipagbawal noong 2020 at 2021. Inaasahan na mas dadami ngayong taon ang mga volunteers na lalahok sa Brigada Eskwela kumpara sa naitalang 1,815 noong 2021. Paliwanag naman ni Atty. Michael Poa, spokesperson ng Department of Education (DepEd), mahalaga ang Brigada Eskwela lalo na sa mga eskwelahan na apektado ng lindol. Ayon kay Poa, nangangailangan ng P1.4 billion para sa pagpapaayos ng mga paaralang nasira ng lindol sa Abra at karatig lalawigan. Dagdag ni Poa, pag-uusapan pa kung itutuloy ba ang pagbubukas ng klase sa mga paaralang apektado ng lindol. Samantala, ang ibang paaralan sa Maynila, tulad ng Hermenegildo J. Atienza sa Elementary School balak isagawa ang Brigada Eswela sa susunod na linggo. Sa ngayon ay patuloy pa ang pakikipag-ugnayan ng paaralan sa mga organisasyon, at may katungkulan para makiisa sa pagsasaayos ng kanilang paaralan. Sa Senator Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Elementary School naman, maliban sa paghahanda nila sa Brigada Eskwela ay hinanda rin nila ang school supplies na libreng ipamimigay ng paaralan. Libreng notebooks, papel, bag at uniforms ang matatanggap ng kanilang mga estudyante sa lahat ng grade level. Plano rin ng paaralan na gumawa ng makeshift rooms ng mga bata sakaling kukulangin ng mga silid-aralan. Tatagal hanggang Agosto 26 ang Brigada Eskwela. Samantala, patuloy naman sa ngayon ang enrollment para sa darating na school year. Ayon kay Atty. Poa umabot nasa 11,663,325 ang nakapag-enroll ngayong taon.
