War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
Tolstoy takes real historical figures like Napoleon, General Kutuzov, and Emperor Alexander and treats them like characters, making up things they say and feel. Are these fictional versions believable? How does our relationship to them change? Do we root for them more? Judge them? Would we react the same way if we didn't get this up-close and personal exposure to historical figures?
The book describes an endless variety of dreams, and practically every major character has at least one, if not several. Usually dreams in novels are pretty straightforward Psych 101 symbolism – characters who are somehow trapped dream about traps, etc. Take a look at Tolstoy's characters' dreams. How much uncomplicated plot-related symbolism do they have? Are some more realistically dreamlike than others? Do they share any qualities? Do different characters dream differently, according to their personalities?
Many readers have complained that reading War and Peace is like reading ten books in one. Imagine that you are making a filmed version of the book – the whole book, not just the Bolkonskys-Rostovs part, like the many movie versions out there do. How would each section get translated for the screen? Which parts would be a movie? Which parts would be in a documentary format? Reality-TV show? Sitcom with a laugh track? Animation? Which would be in black and white and which in color?
We get a really detailed view of two families – the Bolkonskys and the Rostovs – and some pretty good ideas about a two others – the Kuragins and the Drubetskoys. Imagine switching some parents and children in these families around. Would Helene and Anatole have come out any better if they'd been born into the Bolkonsky family? Into the Rostov family? How would Natasha have turned out if Prince Vassily Kuragin was her father? If Princess Drubetskoy was her mother? What if Pierre had grown up in any of these families instead of by himself under a tutor?
Some of the most amazing aspects of the book are the long, detailed, descriptive scenes of domestic life. For example, check out that chapter where a 16-year-old Natasha is bored, antsy, and stir-crazy in her house. It's pages and pages about how she mopes around without finding anything to do. Find other instances of this kind of description. None of these moments do much to advance the plot or even define characters. Why does Tolstoy include them? What would happen if they were left out?

AbstractIt is known that current quality requirements require the utilization of natural colorants in the foods. The objective of the present work is to extract the pigment amaranthus from fresh leaves of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. cv Don Pedro to characterize it through spectroscopic techniques, to be used as natural colorants.

I updated to this version of wp plugin Onlywire(by engineers) and it has a quirk in it.
The posting to social networks works fine, but some how the software takes over other plugins when I try to update settings on other plugins.
Example, I get a message that a plugin needs attention ie., updating. If I click on the specific plugin to modify it, the onlywire plugin comes up instead of the desired plugin. It comes up for all my plugins. I had to remove this version of onlywire and return to a previous version to eliminate this problem. Hope this may be helpful to you.

Publisher's Description
Crunching more data may be helpful but will not revolutionize, let alone save, a declining church. We need creative thinking done by people who are not afraid to face the institutional church.
Indeed, the change we long for is already happening. It is happening on the margins in ministries to the least, the last, and the lost. Written by two creative pastors with different but successful ministries, this breathtaking book will show you how the church can live out its mission and ignite a movement.
If we pay attention, we can let this Jesus Insurgency create new life.
Author Bio
Rudy Rasmus is an author, pastor, street ethicist, and global humanitarian with a passion for outreach to our world's most impoverished citizens. Pastor Rudy co-pastors St. John's Church, located in downtown Houston, with his wife Juanita.
St. John's is one of the most culturally diverse congregations in the country, where every week people of every social and economic background share the same pew. Since 1992, the church's membership has grown from nine to more than 9,000 people, including 3,000 homeless or formerly homeless individuals.
Pastor Rudy's "LoveRevolution" airs Sundays at noon eastern on SIRIUS XM Radio.
He is the author of Touch: Pressing Against the Wounds of a Broken World, and has contributed monthly to Oprah's O magazine and to Epitome magazine.
In 1992, Pastor Rudy and Juanita also founded Bread of Life, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, which provides hungry families with nine tons of fresh food a week and nightly housing to hundreds of chronically homeless men and women. The Rasmuses also developed the Temenos Community Development Corporation and recently opened the $6 million Knowles-Temenos Place Apartments, which uses a generous donation from longtime friends Tina, Mathew, Beyoncé, and Solange Knowles to provide 43 formerly homeless residents a permanent apartment and supportive environment to take significant steps in improving their lives. Pastor Rudy also coordinates domestic and global anti-hunger initiatives in conjunction with Beyoncé's concert tours throughout the world.
Rudy and Juanita have been married for 25 years and are the proud parents of two daughters, Morgan and Ryan.

My sex drive is driving me crazy and I take a drive to satisfy my lust.

Multiplicity is a computer program that enables one keyboard and mouse to access two or more client computers from a host computer. It was developed for Stardock as part of their ThinkDesk subscription service, but is now available separately.
Operation and features[edit]
Multiplicity is unlike remote desktop applications in that instead of opening windows to a client computer on a host computer's desktop, the mouse pointer and keyboard focus shifts from one computer to another. It is closer in concept to a KVM switch, but while these have multiple cables to each computer, with Multiplicity the keyboard and mouse remain connected to the host computer and input is forwarded from the host to client machines via network connections — typically over TCP/IP port 30564.[1] Each computer uses its own display.[2] Switching is triggered by movement of the mouse to the appropriate side of the screen (or keyboard shortcuts, if desired), both from the desktop and in full-screen video modes.[3][4]
Multiplicity comes in two versions; the standard Multiplicity has the ability to copy and paste images and text between computers,[2] while Multiplicity Pro can control up to nine client computers and can copy files, folders, and other data between machines.[5]
Supported platforms as of 2010 are Windows XP and above (32-bit and x64, not IA-64) and Windows Server equivalents.
Multiplicity cannot emulate the capability of the KVM switch to let one display serve all the connected computers. Neither does it permit combining computers with different operating systems, like Mac OS and Linux. The modern alternative would be the combination of a HDMI switch and a USB switch, but the software-hardware comparison remains equally valid.
- x2x - Software for the X Window System that allows the console (keyboard and mouse) on one X terminal to be used to control another X terminal. It also provides ancillary functions like clipboard sharing. Developed in 1996 by David Chaiken at DEC.
- x2vnc - x2vnc allows the console (keyboard and mouse) on an X terminal to be used to control another console running a VNC server. It also provides ancillary functions like clipboard sharing. The remote displays can be running on any operating system that can run a VNC server... Developed in 1998 by Fredrik Hubinette, based on source code from x2x and VNC.
- Synergy — A free software option that allows users to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers over TCP/IP. It is multiplatform (supporting Windows, Linux, and others), and supports text copy and paste.
- MaxiVista — A commercial option allowing users to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers over TCP/IP. MaxiVista can also share the monitor of a computer with other computers to create a multi monitor setup.[6]
- ShareMouse — A cross-platform Windows and Apple Mac OS X option allowing users to control any networked computer from the mouse and keyboard of any other computer. ShareMouse does not require any manual configuration and works in any direction. ShareMouse is also available as a portable application.[7]
- Any remote desktop software that runs on the X Window System, together with a suitable window manager, can achieve the same effect, though not as efficiently. This does not require the use of multiple displays, but Xinerama can be used if multiple displays are desired, as long as one of the machines is capable of connecting to multiple displays at the same time. As this approach transports the output to the primary machine, it can be too slow for demanding video/audio apps and games.

Let's Learn Twi - Ma Yensua Twi

1.0 out of 5 stars
This is NOT a Self-Study Course
July 3 2001
This review is from:
Let's Learn Twi - Ma Yensua Twi (Paperback)
It is perhaps unkind to criticise this work as being a very poor choice for someone wishing to learn Twi by themselves, when the book itself says: "This book is written for Beginner and for early Intermediate level learners. The instructor must be either a native Akuapem Twi speaker, or a near native Akuapem Twi speaker. The text is therefore not meant to be a 'teach yourself' book." Unfortunately, I had no way of knowing this when I bought the book, and only realised when it was too late to return it.
If you are lucky enough to be able to attend a course where this is the required text (which I imagine would not be the case for most people searching for a book on Twi through Amazon), then I am sure that Ma Yensua Twi would rate an unqualified 5 stars. With its delightful illustrations, it is the most beautifully presented language book I have ever seen. It is also, obviously, a very well thought out course, combining grammar; reading; dictation; translation; word substitution and other exercises.
With this in mind, and given the fairly limited range of materials available to someone who wants to learn Twi, you may be tempted to buy it anyway, perhaps to supplement other materials you already have, or on the theory that any learning resource is better than nothing. Here's why I don't think Ma Yensua Twi is useful outside of its intended context:
1. If you have no existing knowledge of Twi, and you are trying to learn the language on your own, you NEED a course that comes with tapes. Even armed with a good written guide to pronunciation (which this book does have), some Twi sounds are extraordinarily difficult to master, having no phonetic equivalent in English. And even if you are able to get the sound of a word right, the chances are you will get the stress wrong or, worse still, the tones (combinations of high, mid or low; long or short) which can change the meaning of a word completely. For example, words that initially all sound quite similar to "papa" (at least to a bloke from south London) can mean any of: father; good; to pat; a fan.
2. Virtually all of the exercises in Ma Yensua Twi are, by their very design, of no use outside their intended context of live tuition: many of the reading exercises have no English translations; there are no answers to the translation exercises; the dictation exercises are simply "Instructor selects Akuapem Twi Words, Phrases, and Sentences covered to date for this exercise"; and some of the exercises involve improvised group role play.
3. In the 25 chapters in which Ma Yensua Twi covers a wide variety of social and cultural situations, extensive vocabulary is introduced and grammatical points are explained in a clear style. This is really the only area where Ma Yensua Twi is of any use at all to someone who is unable to use the book as part of a taught course. But, as a supplement to other Twi resources, Ma Yensua Twi may be more confusing than helpful. This is because, unlike the other Twi materials that I have been able to get hold of, Ma Yensua Twi is a course in Akuapim (Akuapem), rather than (by far the more widely spoken) Ashanti (Asante) Twi. (As far as I am aware, nothing is easy to come by that covers Fanti (Fante/Mfantse) Twi.) Although I have heard that Akuapim Twi is often regarded as the prestige Twi dialect, and indeed, that all dialects of Twi are mutually intelligible, the fact remains that when you are learning the language and are not an experienced speaker (as I am not), it only makes the task more difficult if you are giving yourself the additional headache of trying to master differences between dialects. To illustrate the point (and perhaps this is an extreme example), "Yefere no sen?" in Ashanti, meaning "What is it called?", is "Wu din de den?" in Akuapim Twi. Enough said.
Please let me be clear (and partly to assuage my guilt for having given this book a one-star rating) that I am not saying this is a bad book per se. I think if you are able to attend classes where an appropriate instructor follows this course, or if you have the resources available for private tuition, then Ma Yensua Twi would be an excellent learning tool. If, however, you are unable to do either of these, then don't bother buying it.

Twi, Compact: Learn to Speak and Understand Twi with Pimsleur Language Programs (Audio Cassette)
It's a surprisingly easy way to learn some basic Twi. In terms of content, there isn't a great deal here. There are 10 lessons on 5 tapes - each lesson lasts about 30 minutes. I had to listen to each tape about 4 or 5 times before I really mastered it. But, when I went to Ghana, I was able to ask directions, ask for food and beer, tell a taxi driver where I wanted to go etc. (much to the amusement of every Twi speaker I met). As with learning most languages, it's one thing to be understood but quite another to understand any reply that comes back at you. Pimsleur will help you to be understood - after that you are on your own. (But, since almost everyone in Ghana speaks good English, they will probably help you out). There is also a very useful booklet that accompanies the tapes which lists every word or phrase used (in English-Twi and Twi-English) and tells you in which lesson it first appears. You are told on the tapes to just listen and repeat what you hear, and only refer to the booklet for the reading exercises. However, sometimes the speakers go fairly quickly and it's a little difficult to pick up what they are saying. I found it easier to look up the phrases in the book as they were being introduced, because seeing the words written down gave me more of an idea of the sounds I should be aiming for. In short, this course is a great place to start if you want to learn a little Twi.

'Cold Mountain' Leads Field Of Golden Globe Nominees
By LAURA M. HOLSON
Published: December 19, 2003
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18— ''Cold Mountain,'' the story of a soldier making his way home in the Civil War-ravaged South, topped the field of nominees for the 61st annual Golden Globe awards, receiving eight nominations, including for its three stars and for best dramatic motion picture, best director and best screenplay.
''Lost in Translation,'' the bittersweet comedy set in Tokyo starring Bill Murray, and Clint Eastwood's dark and disturbing ''Mystic River'' each received five nominations from the 90 or so members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the Golden Globes on NBC on Jan. 25. Those movies were followed by ''Big Fish,'' a fanciful tale about a father and son, and the epic ''Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,'' which received four nominations each.
Scarlett Johansson, a relative newcomer, scored perhaps the biggest coup, receiving nominations in both best-actress categories. And on the television side, the HBO mini-series ''Angels in America'' was dominant with seven nominations.
More broadly, this may well be remembered as the year of the big studio, as companies like Disney's Miramax Films and Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Brothers Pictures and Universal Pictures led the nominations. But despite those studios' deep pockets, many of their movies turned out to be just as risk-laden as smaller fare. In an interview this morning Mr. Eastwood, nominated for directing ''Mystic River,'' which also received notice for best screenplay and best picture, said he was initially turned down by executives at two studios who said they wouldn't make an adult drama.
''It's sort of an old-fashioned movie,'' he said. ''There are no special effects. It's straight ahead.''
And last year MGM dropped out of financing ''Cold Mountain,'' starring Nicole Kidman and Jude Law, both nominated for best performance in a drama, and Renée Zellweger, nominated for supporting actress. That left Miramax to foot the $80 million production bill itself.
''I feel like I've been up a mountain and there are people waiting at the bottom,'' said Anthony Minghella, who was nominated for direction and screenplay.
Other nominees for best dramatic picture were ''The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,'' ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World'' and ''Seabiscuit.'' Nominees for best comedy or musical were ''Bend It Like Beckham,'' ''Big Fish,'' ''Finding Nemo,'' ''Lost in Translation'' and ''Love Actually.''
As in years past, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave notice to boutique film divisions and independents, suggesting that the ban on sending out screening tapes, which was nullified two weeks ago by a federal judge, did not harm smaller studios as much as some in Hollywood suggested it would. Most nominees for best supporting actress were from art-house movies, including Maria Bello in ''The Cooler,'' Patricia Clarkson in ''Pieces of April,'' Hope Davis in ''American Splendor'' and Holly Hunter in ''Thirteen.''
Ms. Johansson was nominated twice: for best dramatic actress in Lions Gate Films' ''Girl With a Pearl Earring'' and best actress in a musical or comedy for Focus Features' ''Lost in Translation.''
''Lost in Translation'' was directed and written by Sofia Coppola, who was nominated in both categories. And Bill Murray was nominated for best actor in musical or comedy for that film.
''I guess I feel lucky that our little movie was so embraced,'' Ms. Coppola said today, her voice still thick with slumber during a 7 a.m. interview. ''It's sweet, sincere, and I think people are in the mood for that.''
Other nominees for best director were Peter Jackson for ''The Lord of the Rings'' and Peter Weir for ''Master and Commander.'' Nominees for best screenplay, aside from Ms. Coppola and Mr. Minghella, were Richard Curtis for ''Love Actually,'' Brian Helgeland for ''Mystic River'' and Jim, Naomi and Kirsten Sheridan for ''In America.''
At 5 a.m. chatty publicists, many well dressed and made up as if they hadn't gone to bed, were already buzzing around the grand ballroom of the Beverly Hilton, where the nominations were announced. The Golden Globes, once derided as the prizes of a ragtag group of freelancers more interested in gift-getting than award-giving, have gained in populist appeal. (Remember when Pia Zadora was named newcomer of the year in the 1980's?) Now the Globes are one of the most-watched precursors of the Academy Awards.
This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences moved its Academy Awards show to Feb. 29, a month earlier than usual, in an effort to stem awards fatigue following shows like the Globes. But the academy has more to protect than its reputation, as the Oscars garner $50 million a year in television rights and licensing fees.
For viewers, the Golden Globes are a fashion-packed celebrity bonanza with favorites from television and film in one room. And for the celebrities it is simply fun. Champagne flows freely, table-hopping is encouraged, and partygoing is a breeze: everything is in one building.

Ask a random group of attorneys what they think of social media, and you'll get some funny looks. Several of them will turn up their noses, while an equal number will have only a vague idea of what you're talking about. Although more attorneys are participating in social media, there is still a good bit of reluctance to get involved.
The phenomenon called social media is simply a category of online resources used by people to communicate with one another, research topics of interest, stay on top of current events, and market their businesses. It includes blogs, which may be used by professionals to write about news affecting their industries, promote their businesses and expertise, and engage in dialogue with others in far away places.
Sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are considered to be more pure social media than blogs. A blog can be created and maintained without interaction with other people, if that's what the writer chooses. Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites require interaction with others to make them worthwhile. On these sites, you will "connect" with people you know or are interested in, and you'll be able to see updates they post about themselves and their companies, articles they've written, and articles they find interesting. You will be able to "like" or comment on their updates, and often engaging discussions follow. Continue reading

The NHL praised the judge's decision and said it is pursuing a buyer who would keep the team in Arizona. Balsillie's representative Richard Rodier painted the ruling as nothing more than a minor setback.
Rodier said Balsillie would either amend his bid or submit a new one, pending talks with Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes . Balsillie insists the sale still can be completed and the team moved in time for next season.
Rodier said Balsillie wants to enter mediation with the NHL to resolve the case by determining a relocation fee. The league didn't immediately respond to the proposal but has insisted it wants the team to stay in Arizona.
The NHL was left to find someone to buy the franchise and keep it in Glendale, where it has lost $36 million each of the past three years. The name most often mentioned is Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls.
WILD: Todd Richards has returned home to coach the Wild, and the Minnesota native brings with him the promise that the team will play a more exciting, up-tempo style.
He also carries the humility of a playing career consisting of eight NHL games -- and a dozen years in the minor leagues. His limited NHL coaching experience was far less important to new Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher than philosophy, intuition, and personality.
Richards, who has spent a season as an assistant coach with the San Jose Sharks, was introduced as the second head coach in the franchise's nine-year history, completing a new power structure that began with Craig Leipold's purchase of the team 11/2 years ago.
BRUINS: General manager Peter Chiarelli received a four-year extension on top of the one season left on his original four-year deal.
Claude Julien also is expected to get an extension after two seasons as coach.

Piper fuels North 8-man to lopsided win in Lions All-Star Game
As usual, Redding Christian's Hayden Piper was asked to do a little bit of everything for his team.
And yet, he still managed to do what he's done for three years – find the end zone.
Piper threw for a touchdown and caught a touchdown to help the North to a 28-6 victory over the South in the 3rd annual 8-man Lions All-Star Football Game at Shasta College's Memorial Stadium.
He put his talents on display that showed why he led the Northern Section in rushing and scoring last season. But it was his versatility that allowed the North to thrive.
"(Piper) was huge, he's always been huge for this league, for everyone," North coach Chris Ballard of Dunsmuir said. "I knew it was going to be dangerous when we had him on our team. He's always a competitor and always wants to win."
Piper, the game's MVP, racked up 175 total yards of offense – 25 passing, 83 rushing and 67 receiving – and nearly scored all three ways.
"Coach put in a great system, we were just running it, weren't doing anything special," Piper said.
It took 17 minutes until either team could put up any points as the North was denied twice inside the red zone. South's Cooper Kingdon of Greenville intercepted Dunsmuir's Brian Taylor on the opening possession and then Princeton's Gavino Mitchum tackled Hunter Hawkins short of the goal line on fourth down to prevent another score.
Three penalties inside the five-yard line on those two drives backed the North up and it couldn't capitalize.
"We needed to execute," Ballard said. "We got penalties that killed us and an interception that hurt us.
"It was frustrating."
Dunsmuir's Dayton Pepperdine put the North on the board with his one-yard run up the middle and that sparked an offensive outburst that saw four touchdowns scored across the next four minutes.
"It set the tone of the game because it was the first one and after that, everybody starting clicking," Pepperdine said.
The North scored on its next play as Taylor connected with Piper streaking down the field for a 57-yard touchdown. But the South answered on its next play as Princeton's Lucas Hubbard hit a wide open Dakota Woodward, who raced down the left sideline for a 65-yard score to cut the North's lead to 13-6 at half.
Hawkins capped a three-play North drive to start the third quarter with a seven-yard touchdown run and Piper added a two-point conversion run.
After Happy Camp's James Simmons recovered a fumble, Piper rolled out and found Dunsmuir's CJ Palmer for a 25-yard score and a 28-6 lead midway through the third.
It was all the North would need as the South only picked up two more first downs the rest of the game and never got the ball past midfield.
Hawkins registered 53 rushing yards on nine carries, Pepperdine totaled 58 rushing yards on a team-high 11 carries and each of them had a touchdown. Taylor was 2 for 4 for 67 yards passing and added 47 yards rushing on five attempts.
The South's Hubbard was 2 of 5 for 69 yards and a touchdown while Hayfork's Anthony Castellanos totaled 44 yards on 10 carries. Mitchum rushed eight times for 39 yards.
For Pepperdine, who helped Dunsmuir to a section championship in 2012, it was a bittersweet ending to his football career.
"It was one last chance to go out there with your high school rivals and everybody you've been playing on the field with for four years – get one last game in together," Pepperdine said. "The 'W' was huge, that's what we set out to do and that's what we accomplished."

Pokemon: Twist of Fate

In your nightmares
Pokemon: A Twist Of Fate (T)
A twist of fate is a roleplay about, what else, pokemon. In it, you will assume the role of a character and be forced to interact with others to survive and progress. Twist of Fate is meant for all in the roleplaying audience, whether new to it or veteran. If you have too much time on your hands, why not sign up?
This is the scenario for the characters. The backstory is that within Professor Ghy's Lab of Pokemon Research(GLoPR), there was a break-in by the infamous Team Rocket.They stole his papers in an effort to genetically enhance their own pokemon as to further their own goals. To make sure nobody pursued, they took Ghy hostage. This was one day before two trainers were supposed to start their journeys.
It had been two months since that event. The police of the region(which name is "Toi")were heavily searching. The two trainers had since begun their journeys with pokemon distributed by Ghy's intern, a young female named Rellna, who was also running the labs during the absense of Ghy. One trainer went missing, the other showing up back at the labs, his clothes torn, his body bruised and beaten. He claimed that the pokemon being experimented on in Rocket Labs were getting stronger due to the formula's. He also claims that Team Rocket is fusing traits from Pokemon into chosen, gifted children. Henceforth, a young boy can run with the speed of a Weaville, another can spurt a torrent of water from their lips, such as a Squirtle. When asked what happened to the other trainer, the battered boy had blacked out.
It had since been another month. The battered boy was now in a coma, and the Pokemon League had temporarily shut down for further investigation. On one expedition, the eight gym leaders discovered seventeen pokemon-infused humans. They were all knocked out using extract from the sleep powder produced by a "Bulbasaur." The seventeen were taken back to the league, where they were interoggated. It was to the gym leader's surprise that all seventeen had been diagnosed with amnesia. Since then, the seventeen were put into a special facility where they underwent exercises to reveal their sealed memories and to be trained in their powers. It was a controversial move, but the League decided to train them for an upcoming assault on Team Rocket. After all, there could be more infused humans.
Two more months had passed, and the seventeen were released to the public. They went on their first mission and ambushed one of the Rocket Labs. There were tons of Rocket Labs underground by this point, Ghy and the other trainer still being missing. The battered boy has since woken up, and escaped the league. It is not known what has happened to him, and he is officially marked "MISSING." During the seventeen's second mission, Team Rocket unveiled a new weapon: "MEW-Z." Their leader had been converted into this psychic insanity. One assault later, and all seventeen were under MEW-Z's mind control. What MEW-Z hadn't counted on was that by infiltrating their minds, he would reawaken their memories. The seventeen remembered being captured, being taken into Rocket Labs, tested on, being in severe pain. They broke free of the mind control and attempted escape. Five of them were held in place by the psychic powers---the twelve remaining escaped. It is suspected that the five that hadn't escaped are now under the control of MEW-Z, fighting for Team Rocket.
The final month has passed and the present has caught up with the story. Who are you? You are one of the twelve, and you are currently preparing for your third mission. You are under the leadership of three gym leaders, Volta(who specialized in electric), Molta(who specialized in fire), and Ut(who specialized in dark.) Volta and Molta are girls, Ut is a boy. When you are sent on a mission, you are sent with only one of them, alternating depending on the circumstance. In between, you and the leaders are all together and training. This RP will work by my characters, Ut, Volta, and Molta sending you on a mission. The twelve of you and one of my characters will then RP an intrusion on a Rocket Laboratory. There, players must all RP at least one battle against an enemy pokemon(or one of the five that had been caught by Mew-Z.) The player does not have pokemon; they fight against the enemy pokemon directly. The leader usually stands back in these scenarios, wanting to test the twelve. He or she will usually just give advice. This is also so I don't steal the RP. Once every player has finished their battle, they must all interact and move on for TWO POSTS. That's one battle post, and two post battle posts in which players have to solve a puzzle or help out other players still in battle. Once every player has completed their three posts, the SEIZE of the Rocket Lab is considered complete. Players are automatically teleported back to the facility(the base, between missions.) They remain at the base and interact with one another until the leaders announce the next mission.
-Never deny any previous posts by another player. If one player describes a Rocket Lab as bad-smelling, filthy, and disorganized, then that Rocket Lab is so.
-During battles, during missions, these are against Non-Player-Characters. IN other words, you're RPing yourself AND your opponent. This just helps speed up the RP as a whole. This may get messy...remember, you're not the mighty-amazing superhero. You can lose a battle. Everyone else can help you out, they have two extra posts to do so. Please make your battles believable. Also, battles can intertwine. This includes double-battles(which have two posts--one from you and one from your ally), triple battles(same rules, but three posts) and a move from one battle going out of bounds and disrupting a different one(ex. a Gastly uses Shadow Ball on one player, misses, and it hits another player in their battle.)
-Read everyone else's posts. This can help you interact, intertwine battles with missed moves and such, etc.
-There is PVP. At your facility, PVP's are two-posts-long. It is hoped that you have decided a winner in advance. PVP is between missions and lasts two posts(one from each player fighting each other.) If double battle, then four posts. Triple battles are not allowed in PVP.
-Don't RP other characters. This is known as bunnying.
-Don't win every battle without breaking a sweat. This is GModing. This also includes having an event that directly involves you, changing the storyline to accomodate your needs, etc. This RP isn't about you.
-Don't Mary Sue, aka, lose every battle. Losing is good, and can help develop your character, but it will get old if you lose every single time and one of us has to keep bailing you out.
-Follow the rules. This one is easy.
Character's Name:
Character's Ability/Pokemon: (ex. super-speed/Weaville, Ultra-powerful punches/Primeape, Being able to breathe fire/Charizard)
Character's History: (Before getting abducted by Team Rocket)
Referral: (Were you referred by a friend? If so, then you and your friend get something special when the RP starts.)
Extra information: (optional)
My Chainsaw Meowth is currently missing! If you have a lead or think you know something,
I am desperately searching, and I dread the possibility that I may never find him...
On a side note, if anybody can answer the following question right, then they get a mystery prize! *Must have a Gen V game to claim prize*
Question: What the heck did Jinora do in the finale?! I don't get it! I know 90% of you won't know what I'm talking about, but I need an answer!

Submit a Pioneering Idea Brief Proposal
Pioneering Ideas and a Culture of Health
The goal of the Pioneering Ideas Brief Proposal funding opportunity is to explore; to look into the future and put health first as we design for changes in how we live, learn, work and play; to wade into uncharted territory in order to better understand what new trends, opportunities and breakthrough ideas can enable everyone in America to live the healthiest life possible.
While improving the status quo is vital to the health and well-being of millions of Americans now, the Pioneering Ideas Brief Proposal opportunity reaches beyond incremental changes to explore the ideas and trends that will influence the trajectory and future of health. Ultimately, we support work that will help us learn what a Culture of Health can look like—and how we can get there.
NEW: Featured Calls for Ideas
While the Pioneering Ideas Brief Proposal is an open call for ideas, from time to time we may also feature opportunities related to specific topics we are interested in exploring. Learn more about our current featured topics below.
Reinventing Discovery (submit by 9/1/2016)
Health and medical research drives discovery, development and delivery of new diagnostics and technologies. However, it is often slow, opaque and does not include experiences and insights from practitioners, people and communities. Through strides in health information technology, Big Data and social media, we believe there is a growing opportunity to change stakeholder engagement in and the organization of biomedical research.
We are interested in producing more rapid, responsive and relevant research—and believe that new models, which are open, collaborative and inclusive of patient/consumer/citizen input, can help us get there. We are looking for projects that pilot or use tools which help to share data and promote open science, and also emphasize the value of patient and citizen engagement to health and medical discovery.
For this specific area of exploration, we are not seeking to support the development of new platforms, projects to advance interoperability of health information technology, or biomedical research experiments. Projects can include, but are not limited to:
- Patient and consumer engagement activities, including tools and processes that enable consumers and patients to help frame or refine research questions, with a focus on equity
- Development and assessment of approaches to return results to patients and consumers
- Development of inclusive governance models and models of sustainability
We have funded several projects that are challenging the status quo in biomedical research, including:
- Sage Bionetworks' BRIDGE, a cloud-based collaborative science platform that leverages patient data and wisdom
- The CureAccelerator open participation research platform from Cures Within Reach
- Personal Genome's "Open Humans" project—a network which enables individuals to donate their personal health data to researchers
- A "white label" or customizable version of Genetic Alliance's Platform for Engaging Everyone Responsibly (PEER), which allows individuals to share their health information with health researchers and each other
Dollar amount/duration: We are seeking to fund projects not to exceed $250,000 over 12-18 months.
Time period: Please submit your ideas for Reinventing Discovery by Sept 1, 2016.
In the "project summary" section of your application, be sure to note you're submitting an idea for Reinventing Discovery.
Please direct questions to: email@example.com.
The Future of Work (submit by 9/15/2016)
The way that we work is rapidly changing...again. There has always been an iterative relationship between technology, society, employment and health—we saw it with the rise and fall of jobs related to the industrial revolution and with the introduction of digital technologies like the internet and e-mail. Issues like job security, economic stability, work-life balance and the role of the employer mean very different things now than they did 50 years ago. What will the changes we're seeing now mean for work in the next 50 years, and what effects will they have on our health?
Through this exploration, we are particularly interested in gaining a better understanding of ways that shifts in our economy and workforce might affect our health and health care, and the types of benefit alternatives, support systems and services that workers may need to live the healthiest life possible. Projects might explore questions including, but not limited to:
- The role of the single employer as central to the lives and benefits of workers is fading. What is the alternative?
- How might changes in the roles of employers and a corresponding rise in freelance, self-employment, part time or "gig" employment affect health coverage and costs in a post-Affordable Care Act era?
- How might changes to traditional benefit providers and structures impact family caregivers, new parents or retirees?
- How will the rise of automation impact vulnerable workers—specifically those working in manual labor, the service sector and non-technical jobs?
- What do changes to our work mean for (in)equality and what are the implications for health equity?
- How might an extended and irregular workday impact an individual's ability to get enough sleep, eat healthy foods and consistently commit time to their overall health and the health and wellness of their families?
- How will future economies impact an individual's, family's or community's ability to align work with adult or child care?
Dollar amount/duration: There is no set dollar amount or duration for projects funded in this area.
Time period: Please submit your ideas for the Future of Work by September 15, 2016.
In the "project summary" section of your application, be sure to note you're submitting an idea for Future of Work.
Please direct questions to: email@example.com.
What is a Pioneering Idea?
Good question! We don't want to provide a checklist that limits your thinking—or ours. We do want to give you as clear a picture as we can about the kinds of proposals we hope to see, so you can best assess whether submitting an idea through our Pioneering Ideas Brief Proposal process is the right next step for you. Our application form allows you to introduce your idea; if it seems to be a fit for our portfolio we will reach out for more information.
We share some examples below of Pioneering Ideas we have funded in the past to give you a sense of where we've been. Keep in mind that ultimately, we need you to challenge us, and to tell us where we should be going and what ideas have the most potential to transform the way we think about health. As you review the examples below, you may notice some shared themes or characteristics which:
- Challenge assumptions or long-held cultural practices.
- Take an existing idea and give it a new spin—or a novel application.
- Offer a new take or perspective on a long-running, perplexing problem.
- Apply cutting-edge ideas from other fields to health.
- Explore the potential for emerging trends to impact our ability to build a Culture of Health.

The impact of residential respite care on the behavior of older people
Background: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of residential respite care on disruptive behavior displayed by older people, particularly those with dementia.
Methods: A quasi-experimental, repeated-measures, single-group design was used. The participants were a consecutive series of 100 older people with a mean age of 81.8 years (range 66–96 years) who had been booked for a respite admission to one of several residential aged care facilities in a provincial Australian city. A diagnosis of dementia was reported for 29% of the sample. Disruptive behaviors were rated before and after the period of respite by home caregivers (N = 100) and during the period of respite by nurses (N = 25) using the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale (DBDS).
Results: Age, male gender and the presence of dementia were all significantly related to the frequency of reported disruptive behaviors. Residential respite care was associated with a significant reduction in the frequency of reported disruptive behaviors in older people (Wald χ2 = 28.28, p < 0.0001). However, this improvement in behavior did not persist into the post-respite period. The deteriorating behavioral trajectory that was evident prior to respite care continued following the period of respite care.
Conclusions: Residential respite care was associated with a temporary diminution in the frequency of reported disruptive behaviors in older people. This finding should be reassuring both for family carers considering placing a relative in residential respite care and for health workers considering whether to recommend such a course of action.(Received December 6 2004)

*I live in New York.
*I spend the majority of my day reading. And when I'm not reading I'm writing (of course)
* I've been writing ever since I could remember. I used to make up short stories about the people around me and I would even take the beat of a song and make up my own lyrics to the song. I remember being shy and embarrassed about the fact that I liked to write and to this day I still am a little but I realized that you should never be ashamed of what you love, that you should embrace it. So that's what I'm doing, here on wattpad.
*Thanks for checking out my profile! :)
