Hoyer Press Staff Blog
Blog posts from the press staff of Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer
Another day, another #BrokenPromise from President Trump. In fact, his budget breaks a lot of promises he made to the American people – most importantly, the promise that he is fighting for them.
Need further proof that Republicans' request to delay their cost-sharing reductions lawsuit will harm consumers?
Today's GOP quote of the day comes from Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), who slammed the Trump Administration's budget for the draconian cuts it's expected to make.
Either Trump is oblivious to reports that White House chaos and incompetence are causing insurers to pull out of health care markets, or he just doesn't care.
Remember when we said that the uncertainty caused by the Trump Administration would undermine insurance markets? Well, it's happening.
Wanted to be sure you saw this Bloomberg story about how Republicans might have to vote on TrumpCare again because they passed it without actually knowing what was in it.
Remember this?
We thought we'd pass along some questions for Speaker Ryan that you can ask at House Republicans' press conference this morning
Americans across the country are sending a clear message: TrumpCare is a bad idea
With each passing day, TrumpCare is getting more unpopular.
For anyone who has seen reports of constituents speaking out against TrumpCare across the country, it should come as no surprise that the bill is deeply unpopular among the American people.
Last night, President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, igniting responses from both sides of the aisle calling for an independent commission to investigate President Trump's ties to Russia.
Who is forced to pay more for less under TrumpCare? Everyone.
It hasn't even been a full week since House Republicans jammed #TrumpCare through the House, but constituents are making their concerns known and voicing their strong opposition to the bill.
Another weekend, another set of false claims from Republicans regarding their TrumpCare bill.
While Republicans celebrate jamming #TrumpCare through the House of Representatives, their constituents back home are voicing very real concerns about the adverse impact the bill will have on themselves and their families
Here's a quick reminder of what Republicans voted for yesterday, courtesy of NBC News.
House Republicans are celebrating their "win" after voting to kick 24 million Americans off of their coverage, but it's not playing out so well in the news.
Yesterday, 217 House Republicans voted to pass their TrumpCare bill, but it didn't exactly receive a warm welcome across the Capitol.
Has Rep. Walden forgotten how this bill has been received at home? Here's a reminder of how town halls went over the last recess.
BREAKING: John Boehner came out of retirement to share his thoughts on how TrumpCare is being considered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwrzsLYt-uI
As you follow today's disastrous TrumpCare vote, just a quick reminder that you can do so on-the-go and in real-time on Whip Watch, the Whip Office's iOS app.
Despite promising transparency and an open process, House Republicans are bringing TrumpCare to the Floor without an updated CBO score.

Artist: Andrea Schiavone (Andrea Meldola) (Italian, Zadar (Zara) ca. 1510?–1563 Venice)
Date: ca. 1550
Medium: Oil on wood, transferred to Masonite
Dimensions: Overall, with corners made up, 51 1/2 x 61 7/8 in. (130.8 x 157.2 cm); painted surface 50 1/2 x 61 1/2 in. (128.3 x 156.2 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Purchase, Gift of Mary V. T. Eberstadt, by exchange, 1972
Accession Number: 1973.116
The painting represents the marriage of Cupid, the son of Venus, with the mortal Psyche, in the presence of Juno, Jupiter, Mars, and other gods of Olympus as narrated by Apuleius in The Golden Ass. Originally an octagon (the four corners are additions), it was the central panel of a ceiling with scenes from the legend of Psyche painted by Schiavone in about 1550 for the Castello di Salvatore di Collalto, in the hills to the north of Venice. Schiavone's fluid and painterly style and the exaggerated proportions of his figures were inspired by Parmigianino and were in turn important to a younger generation of painters such as Tintoretto.

Meet 115, the Newest Element on the Periodic Table
www ccc stashed this in Science
Stashed in: Science!, Russia and Friends, Periodic Tables
In case you forgot your high school chemistry, here's a quick refresher: An element's atomic number is the number of protons it contains in its nucleus.
The heaviest element in nature is uranium, which has 92 protons. But heavier elements-which have more protons in their nucleus-can be created through nuclear fusion. (Related: Learn how to make an element.)
The man-made 115 was first created by Russian scientists in Dubna about ten years ago. This week, chemists at Lund University in Sweden announced that they had replicated the Russian study at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research in Germany.
(See pictures of the labs where new elements are created.)
Element 115 will join its neighbors 114 and 116-flerovium and livermorium, respectively-on the periodic table just as soon as a committee from theInternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) decides on an official name for 115.
We asked Paul Hooker, a chemistry professor at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, for his take on the latest addition to the periodic table.
So it sounds like 115 was actually created ten years ago, by a lab in Russia. Why are we just learning about its discovery?
When you find a new element, it has to be confirmed. You need two different labs to confirm it before [IUPAC] considers adding it to the periodic table.
This is the second lab coming in and repeating the same experiment, so now it's considered to be an official new element.
So what did the Russian and Swedish chemists actually do?
The way that you make new elements now is by shooting a beam of an element at another element and then seeing what happens when they collide.
In this case, the researchers used americium, which is kind of interesting because it's an unstable, radioactive element. They fired calcium atoms-which are much lighter than americium atoms-at the americium for weeks or even months. Most of the calcium atoms bounced off, but every now and then the atoms collided and instead of the calcium element bouncing off, it actually stuck to the americium element. When that happens, you get a short-lived atom with more protons in its nucleus, which is the center of the new element 115.
How did they know they created a new element if it happened so quickly? I think I read that it existed for less than a second before it decayed.
They look for the decay products. They look for telltale signs for when 115 disintegrates, by what's called alpha particle emission. When they see enough of those signals, they can say they probably formed a new element.
How do they know if a new element will be unstable or not?
There was an element 118 that was predicted to be much more stable; 115 wasn't predicted to be especially stable. We know what is stable. Certain ratios of protons to neutrons are stable. As the nucleus gets bigger and bigger, it's not stable-and then it can radioactively decay and spit out smaller particles-that means it's really not very stable.

I talked with jason a bit on irc and we're doing an experiment with optionally including transitive dependencies using the car-maven- plugin. Hopefully this will work and avoid the duplication jason is leery of. Please don't commit duplication until we find out if this works or not.

The HTC One has put the Taiwanese smartphone maker firmly back on the map, and now the leading Android handset has been crowned Phone of the Year at the 2013 TrustedReviews Awards.
In one of the closest fought categories of the year's awards, the HTC One saw off stiff competition from a range of Android rivals, as well as Apple's latest smartphone offering.
Having been first unveiled back in February in the days leading up to MWC 2013, the HTC One is far from the most recent, or indeed specs impressive handset currently doing the rounds, but is a phone which has changed the smartphone sector for good as one of the first truly desirable and high-end Android phones.
A category which split the judges' decisions, the HTC One narrowly came out victorious against runners ups the iPhone 5S and Android 4.4 KitKat introducing Google Nexus 5. As well as playing host to a highly desirable brushed metal design, the HTC One has been bestowed with a bevy of premium innards with a 4.7-inch Full HD display lining up alongside a 1.7GHz quad-core processor.
What's more, the company's Sense UI has helped create one of the most user-friendly and intuitive smartphone experiences around.
"It's not surprising that the most hotly contested and closely matched category at this year's awards was the Phone of the Year," TrustedReviews Editor Evan Kypreos stated.
"Like 12 Angry Men the decision pulled and swayed from one phone to the other. It was agreed that the iPhone 5S is probably the best all-rounder and the Nexus 5 is a fantastic phone for the money, but the fact that the HTC One finally proved once and for all that Android phones can be slick and hugely desirable gave it the edge."
While the HTC One has been crowned the 2013 TrustedReviews Phone of the Year, attention has already turned to its replacement, with a number of HTC One 2 rumours currently doing the rounds.
Tipped to make the jump to a larger 5-inch display, the HTC One 2 is expected to pair its 1080p Full HD panel with Google's Android 4.4 KitKat OS and a new quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU.
Earlier this week we confirmed that the PS4 had beaten the Xbox One to take the title of the 2013 Console of the Year while the iPad Air was announced as Tablet of the Year. Yesterday GTA 5 was named Game of the Year.

I think Kesler is a bigger and better version of Little who can score 40 goals with the right line mates. Granted, 15 of those goals that year came on the PP with the Sedins, but he was mostly regulated to 2nd line duty for the rest of his goals. Would I trade him straight up? Probably not. It would require a little more to close the gap on both ways. I proposed Kesler + Tanev for Buff + Cormier before in another thread, which I think still has good value as Buff > Kesler and Tanev > Cormier. Tanev somewhat replaces Buff as a 2nd -3rd pairing dman and Cormier somewhat replaces Kesler as a bottom six forward that could kill penalties and is good at faceoffs.

Cheap Must-See Attractions in All 50 States
Summer is prime travel time. Whether you're in the midst of planning a road trip or looking at a map for the first time to decide where to go, you can count on finding plenty of free or cheap attractions across the country. Cheapism.com took an in-depth look at tourist destinations and found one site in every state that's sure to delight travelers on a budget.
The search factored in ways to reduce out-of-pocket expenses, whether in rural or urban settings. We did not set a specific price ceiling for the attractions, but where fees are imposed, they're generally less than $15 for adults and cheaper for children, seniors, military members, and sometimes for students; stated price ranges reflect these discounts or different tour options.
Birmingham is home to many inexpensive museums and historical sites. The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute costs $12 for adults, but is free or discounted for seniors, college students, and youth. Across the street, the 16th Street Baptist Church offers daily tours for $5 a person; entrance to the church is by donation. Nearby, ride to the top of a tower at the Vulcan Park and Museum for a view of the city and learn about its history; tickets are $4 to $6.
Dog-sled teams are a symbol of the region and an important part of the area's history, and still used in Alaska. You can learn about the sled dogs at the Denali Kennels during the summer or winter. The kennels are located within the Denali National Park, which charges a $10 entrance fee for visitors 16 and older.
The Grand Canyon is a destination for travelers from around the world, but it's worth fighting the summertime crowds in the South Rim area. The visit can be as inexpensive as you make it; camping and grocery stores are friends to anyone on a budget. Take the time for a short hike, along the South Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge (1.5 miles) or Skeleton Point (3 miles), for example, and enjoy stunning views of the canyon from a different perspective.
One of the few attractions where you can make money by visiting, the diamond-bearing Crater of Diamonds State Park lets you keep what you find. Although your chances are low, a few diamonds are found almost every day; 585 in total during 2014, in fact. The fee for searching is $5 for children aged 6 through 12 and $8 for adults; diamond hunting kits (shovels, buckets, etc.) can be rented for $10 or $13 a day, depending on the contents.
Although the cost of living in San Francisco may be high, there are some surprisingly cheap and fun attractions to experience in the city.

For anyone with a young business, the elevator pitch is both extremely important and extremely short. It's the nature of the pitch: detailed and interesting enough to hook the listener on your business, but short enough that it could last the duration of an elevator ride.
Your elevator pitch can be a great way to market your small business to new prospects. You will find yourself in many situations where you have a brief window to introduce your business to someone new. Whether you're in line at an airport gate, casually introducing yourself to someone while grabbing lunch, or talking to old friends at an alumni mixer, there are plenty of times when having a quick, go-to introduction to yourself and your company will come in handy.
An engaging and memorable elevator pitch takes time and practice to create. Here are some tips to get you started.
1. Start by fully realizing what you and your company have to offer. Write down who you are and what you do, focusing on the problem your company solves. Why do clients or customers need your service or product?
2. Find an attention-grabbing detail, statistic, question, or anecdote that makes people pay attention to what you're saying. You can test it out on friends, family, or perfect strangers to find the right note.
3. Don't forget who you are. Your experience can lend credibility to your company and your ideas, so find a succinct way to brag about yourself.
4. Edit. Rearrange words, change phrases, and cut your message down to the most simple, succinct version you can. Look for overly complicated or unnecessary words and industry jargon and eliminate them.
5. Work on your tone. You should be likeable, articulate, and friendly. Your tone and attitude should connect with other people—you are talking to them, not at them.
6. Create multiple versions flagged for different audiences (potential vendors, customers, investors) as well as different lengths. You want your elevator pitch to hover around 30 to 60 seconds, but consider a slightly longer one when you have the opportunity.
7. Practice, practice, practice. Whether you need to videotape your pitch, do it in front of a mirror, pitch to family, or dive in and try it out during a networking event, run it by as many people as are willing to listen. Get feedback when you can. As your business grows and changes, so should your pitch.
Don't discount the importance of an elevator pitch. Spend some serious time developing it, and revisit it once in a while to make sure it still applies. Even though it's short, it could give you the opportunity of a lifetime if pitched to the right person.

The Creation Of Marketing and advertising Together With Its Duty IN Current Competitively priced Trading markets
Kotler and Armstrong explained marketing and advertising because the operation in which organizations produce benefits for consumers and make strong shopper romances to be able to get benefit from clients in return.pop over here In such cases promotion can be viewed as as "an business energy to produce and keep hold of profitable potential customers thru good romantic relationship creating amongst the organization and it is internal plus external customers in a culturally in charge manner". To create and hold on to prosperous people, the marketing and advertising approach has become the method of imagining while using the purchaser proudly located in the heart of the home business. The promotional strategy/approach begun to take over business orientation while in the 1950s and carries on up until the 20 or so to start with century. This concept assumes that the starting point for virtually every promotion progression could be the purchaser needs and wants, with zero longer the intense promoting. It carries that this key to getting its company targets (targets with the promoting company) contains the company staying extremely effective than its opponents in building, giving you, and socializing client value to its specific aim for customers. Promotion assignments were being commonly associated with business firms, but extremely an array of organiza¬tions want to utilize internet marketers and even to commission rate expert services from internet marketing consultants so that as recognized by Mckitterick, the principle task of marketing is not only convincing your customer to invest in, but more to present the requirements of the consumer around the suitable quantity and high quality.
The Promotional Design stands for the primary improvement in today's organization orientation that gives its critical position which is to serve as a foundation to realize affordable advantage. It truly is apparent the true secret purpose connected with an organization's marketing campaigns is to grow enjoyable romances with people that reward both the buyer as well as organisation. These efforts direct marketing and advertising to serve a crucial role within just most corporations and inside modern society. At the organizational grade, marketing and advertising is a vital small business feature that is definitely appropriate in the majority of establishments regardless of whether the company runs like a for-profit or as the not-for-return. In the for-earnings organization, advertising is accountable for most projects that deliver revenues and, perhaps, revenue to any organization. To the not-for-income business, online marketing is in charge of drawing in people essential to secure the not-for-profit's objective, which includes raising charitable contributions or encouraging a cause. For styles of agencies, it is not very likely they may make it without having a formidable marketing energy. Advertising is additionally the business home business community that communicates most often with the common and as a result, what is the people knows about an organization depends on their connections with marketing experts through numerous channels like web 2 . 0, television or radio station. As an illustration, potential customers could possibly believe that a firm is powerful and creative based upon its promotion message. Progressively the idea of advertising and marketing has evolved from just one principle towards the other and to get a better perception of the marketing concept, you have to examine other thoughts who were after predominant in numerous significant time frames, as even though many corporations have adopted the advertising and marketing notion at this time, it has not necessarily been the fact in recent times. The development Concept Pleasure and Ferrell trace the development viewpoint to as far back as 1850s, right through to the 1920s. This became the time of business innovation in the us. During this time the continent witnessed growth in energy creation, rail travel, department of effort, putting your unit together collections, and volume manufacturing. It secures that users will desire goods that are easily available and inexpensive. This orientation is sensible in creating regions, where exactly people are interested in acquiring the goods compared to its benefits. Miller and Layton discovered that generation approach proved helpful for businesses from the 1950s to get their online business objectives. These days, such a company orientation may only appear sensible as soon as the target of the clients are to grow the market industry. On the other hand, construction orientation seldom works best for a lot of today's companies. Firms by using these an online business philosophy at this time possibility centering their effort and hard work as well narrowly on their own surgery getting rid of appearance with the main notion of supplying to satisfy customer expectation and needs to make consumer benefits
This system notion The items approach was the superior promotion approach inside the daybreak of 1900s and went on to 1930s. According to Fullerton, this idea observes that shoppers will prefer the products provide the most superior, overall performance, or progressive elements. Which means the seller knows its goods a lot better than any one or any business. As a consequence, the firm understands what will be successful in developing and creating this product and what will not get the job done. A great deal as some companies might still have got a product oriented business convinced that strong their operations, the notion is not well known in today's online business climate. A program theory commonly causes this company centering on the goods rather than around the purchaser needs that has to be contented, which results in 'marketing myopia' or advertising notion not being applicable. Along with the aspect of consumers and industry habitat the product or service vision may well be a disaster at this time, except for release of new supplements exactly where there might be insufficient shopper practical knowledge and rivals Promoting notion The reselling beliefs was the very idea of companies that proceeded this system period, and has the quickest duration of dominance when compared to the two preceding concepts. It began to be prominent about 1930 and remained in extensive use until eventually about 1950. In line with Kotler and Armstrong, the orientation in the retailing concept was the enterprise can sell off any solution it creates by using marketing strategies, which include marketing and personal advertising. The concept presumes that "consumers are impossible to obtain the product unless they are vigorously persuaded to do this – usually that 'hard sell' procedure Even during the hearing of an market oriented approach, very few establishments that manage unsought foods (for example a life insurance policy); governmental parties who market their job hopefuls assertively to apathetic voters; as well as by companies that have surplus keep continually use retailing orientation with success. Which means even if the reselling approach may just be a lesser amount of recognized in today's small business atmosphere, it most likely are not thoroughly abolished considering it might be employed to sustain a lot more prominent concepts in certain kinds of businesses. The societal promoting thought The Promotional Concept has changed in to a 5th and others highly processed firm orientation: The Social Marketing Notion. This idea is more theoretical and can unquestionably control near future styles of promotional and offering tactics. This concept emerged inside the 1970s and also considering overlapped with all the advertising viewpoint. This idea maintains the organization's endeavor is to look for the wants, demands, and preferences of objective trading markets as well as to give the wanted satisfactions more efficiently and quickly than opposition . Kotler and Armstrong look at the social online marketing orientation given that the most effective company school of thought being put into practice by companies. They suggested: "this new notion delivers an effort to harmonize the plans of business to occasionally contradictory dreams of society'. They conclude: "the organization's endeavor is to discover the requirements, wishes and focus of target market segments and provide the desirable satisfactions more efficiently and properly than contenders in a manner that saves or improves the consumer's and society's actually-becoming. Hence, if a company is manufacturing, item, selling or internet marketing oriented, the fascination in the contemporary society should always still be presented with its rightful put given that society is really a main stakeholder in every single small business. As a result, the recent function by Kotler and Armstrong backs up the fact "The online marketing principle needs an 'outside-in' perspective. The internet marketing strategy starts off with an effectively-outlined industry, specializes in buyer requires, and integrates many of the promotion actions that affect the customers. Subsequently the notion produces gains by designing long-term rapport aided by the best people, depending on prospect valuation total satisfaction. Online marketing principle seems to be extra preferable over additional ideas, even if not with the apex in the hierarchy as it surfaced a great deal sooner than other home business concepts. Practically all the aspects have elements that high light the promoting principle or school of thought and even though the several philosophies of promoting may very well be used these days by one particular agency and even the other, the superior vision in fashionable customers are the promotional school of thought.

The Princess Bride's Kingly Confusion
In Florin, the king's word has always been taken seriously. Even when the king was at his most insane, the people respected his command. But despite the occasional detriment of his own family, justice was always done.
Humperdinck sat in the dungeon, keeping himself occupied by counting the links in his chains with an enormous frown and shooing away the odd spider.
"Ah, kudos upon kudos, your ineffable highness," congratulated Vizzini. "Now… if we can attend to the little matter of my payment, I'll be on my way."
"And who might you be?" asked the king.
"I am the enterprising marauder who exposed the scoundrel you just jailed, heir to a long line of Sicilian nobility and the brains behind all manner of espionagical brilliance. And you, your lordship, owe me a healthy sum for a task I performed last week."
"What task is that, exactly?"
"As I just explained, your son the prince hired me to abscond with his fiancé!"
"I have a son?"
"It's quite probable."
"We must be reunited! Bring him to me at once."

|RE: composable RequestProcessor
|Mon, 02 Jun 2003 14:48:06 GMT
The controller that I have seen, appear only to subclass one or two methods. In other wards the controllers are specialising certain methods only. Some of these methods are returning an object. Be it an ActionForward or java.lang.String at some point you have to decide which return value should be returned. ActionForward doForward( ... ) { ActionForward f1 = tiles.doForward(); ActionForward f2 = expresso.doForward(); return f1 // or is f2 } Any generic XML configuration for composable request processor has to solve this problem satisfactorily. There is high investment time for the XML configuring approach compared to straight aggregation approach with the interfaces. It is quicker and may be easier to write aggregated controllers. What is the URL (strutschaining.sourceforge.net)? The Strutschaining guys only have to deal with one method Struts' Action.execute(...) method. They have build a separate XML daisy chain, but it is easier for them because there only one method to intercept. RequestProcessor has lots of `process*' methods, the solution is not trival. -- Peter Pilgrim, Struts/J2EE Consultant, RBoS FM, Risk IT Tel: +44 (0)207-375-4923 > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthias Bauer [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] > Sent: 02 June 2003 15:55 > To: Struts Developers List > Subject: Re: composable RequestProcessor > > > Rephrasing it, would help me, too ;-) > > Brandon Goodin wrote: > > >>The controllers that I have seem only subclass one or two methods > >>of the RequestProcessor class itself.

Soryan took the world and Asian titles last year, but will face some strong competition from Eun-chol Park of South Korea, who has won two world silver medals and a world bronze medal in the last three years.
Cuba's Yagniel Hernandez won the 2007 Pan American Games and 2008 Pan American Championships in this weight and will fancy his chances along with 22-year-old American Spenser Mango.
In the featherweight, 60kg category, Georgia's David Bedinadze looks a strong contender having won the world title in 2007 and finishing second this year.
Two-time Olympic gold medallist Armen Nazarian of Bulgaria remains, despite being 34, a serious contender.
He won gold in the 48-52kg category competing for Armenia in Atlanta in 1996 and then again four years later for Bulgaria in the 54-58kg and also claimed a bronze in that weight in Athens.

@Cat_In_Pyjamas @mikemearlsin that case a question – why is every telepathy spell a Divination except for Lvl 8 Telepathy which is an Evocation? There's no harm in a DM making telepathy a divination spell. We are likely to make it so in a future printing.

@Brail4 @mikemearls @JeremyECrawfordNothic: Starter set says he communicates w/telepathy,but telepathy not in statblock. Confused. At some point, we must've jettisoned telepathy in favor of Undercommon. Probably in a fit of pique.

@Brail4 @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford But without Telepathy and only Undercommon,how could he? Assume the nothic in the SS has telepathy.

Prophecy: Myth, or Last Resort?Mature
Will blurted, "Not me!" Sayumi glanced at him, still scowling for all she was worth. Ruki smiled a little, and added, "Well I guess that means we are sharing Tsumi. Don't be shy, we are all guys here." Sayumi grumbled and clenched her fists the whole way up to their room. She wanted to strangle Will for being so selfish. Once they were in the room, Sayumi looked at the size of the beds. To her horror, they were just barely big enough to fit two people. She realized she was going to have to sleep against Ruki the whole night, and she wanted to crawl into a very small hole and just hide. Does Will forget that this guy wants to kill me? What if he figures out who I am? Sayumi kept her cool outward appearance, but inside she was screaming and bawling with fear.
Ruki and Will let Sayumi stay in the room while they went back to the pub to try and win some more money for their trip playing cards. Ruki asked, "Do you think we should keep deceiving her like this? She is getting really scared."
Will snorted, "Don't worry about her. Besides, you are just what she needs: a strong, handsome young warlock to save her from the evil king out to kill her."
Ruki blushed a bit. "But won't she be really pissed because we lied to her this whole time?"
Will grinned mischievously, "Of course she will, but if my hunch is correct, she won't be angry with you for very long. Now, earlier you were telling me about an old prophecy, care to expand on that?"
"Well, its almost just a myth that some people repeat just to laugh at. But here it is:
'As the old ones say: there is a young maiden, deceived of her birth, with an untold secret. When met by another, robbed of his blue, our thoughts will be heard, and evil ones will cringe by the maiden aided by Faerie.'"
Will's eyes widened a bit, and he set down into thought. After a little while, he asked Ruki, "Is there anyone who knows what this prophecy means?"
Ruki shrugged. "This prophecy has been around for over a thousand years, and every generation had their own interpretation. Some claimed it was saying an evil witch would take over the kingdom, others claimed an elven princess would come and join the elven world and the human world as one. But as of yet, nothing even close to any of the claims has happened. So gradually, people lost faith in the prophecy and it was almost completely forgotten.
"Then, the witch hunts started. The Duke of Marmelupe's son started bribing the King of Repremendant to round up all the witch-folk and kill them, with no clear reason why except that they were witch-folk. I was about sixteen when they started, and they captured me in only one of them. I was eighteen, and I was sick of people dying for no reason except that they had certain abilities. So I let them tie me to a stake and make a fire at my feet. That was the first time I met Eliah. He smirked at me, and I just lost it. I put out all the fires of all the witch-folk in the arena, and a witch cut all the ropes. Most of us escaped, but I made sure to do something to each of Eliah's men, so they would remember us. I cut off the small finger on each of their hands, then I broke all the bones in Eliah's hand. Then I flew away, and didn't stop flying until I found my family again."
Will nodded, then he remembered that all the bandits that had attacked their wagon earlier that day had been missing their little fingers. A frown furrowed his brow, and Ruki waited for a moment, wondering if Will had any more questions for him. Sure enough, Will asked, "Tell me about your family."
Ruki replied, "My family consists of just me, my mother and my younger brother. My mother said my father couldn't stay with us and he died soon after she got pregnant with my brother. She never told me much about him, except that he was a very kind and powerful man. We have had it rough our whole lives, since my uncle inherited my father's fortune and didn't give us a penny. My mother hasn't told me who my uncle is, and that's probably a good thing because I would beat him to a pulp if I found him." Ruki glared and cracked his knuckles.
Will still looked like he was thinking over the prophecy, so Ruki sighed, "I'm going to go see what I can win at the card game over there, see you in a bit." Will watched him go, then an epiphany hit him like a club. He exclaimed to himself, "The current King of Repremendant is the younger brother of the former king, who died when his first son was barely two years old, and the queen was pregnant with a second child! The younger brother threw out the queen and the princes, without a penny to their names! Ruki is the Prince of Repremendant!!" Will's eyes widened, and he looked over at Ruki, who was now playing cards with a group of locals, and as he laughed with them, Will saw the uncanny resemblance to the late king in his face, and he knew that there was more to Eliah's hatred of witch-folk than just a personal prejudice.
Sayumi took off the heavy cloak, wondering for a moment why she still needed to wear it. Then she looked in a mirror and saw how the trousers highlighted her wide hips. She also wondered how no one had noticed how her chest stuck out more than most men. She shrugged, and hoped it was just their own ignorance. It didn't really matter to her if they knew she was female or not, as long as they didn't know she was Sayumi.
She stood in front of the mirror, and ran her hands through her hair (what was left of it). She tried to cover her face the best she could, but her bangs only came down to her eyebrows. She sighed and took off her boots and climbed into bed. She was so exhausted from her constant worrying all day that it didn't take long before she drifted off to sleep.
She probably should have waited until Ruki got into bed before falling asleep, because when she started to wake up in the morning she found herself sleeping next to a body that she didn't recognize. Thus, she started screaming and shoved Ruki out of bed and grabbed Will's sword and held it against Ruki's throat before she even tried to see who it was. Although, even when she realized who it was she didn't move the sword.
Ruki coughed a couple times, and Sayumi hissed, "Why the heck were you lying so close to me?"
Ruki gasped, "Wow, you have good reflexes for just waking up. And I wasn't the one who was lying so close to you, you're the one who snuggled up close to me!"
Sayumi glared menacingly at Ruki, and pulled the sword slowly away from his throat. She replied, "We are not sharing a bed ever again, got it?" And with that, she quickly put her cloak back on and stormed out of the room. Ruki rubbed his throat where the sword had been and asked, Will, "Tell me, how does one protect themselves against a woman like her?"
Will yawned and shrugged. "She is definitely a cannon waiting to blow, that one." Will smiled and added, "Don't worry, she has a good heart, but she need some time to heal after having her heart broken by Eliah." Ruki nodded, and more anger stirred in his heart. He wished he would have killed Eliah back then, when he had the chance. But that was almost four years ago now, and he may have been a powerful warlock, but even he couldn't change the past.
Sayumi was in the pub wolfing down a massive stack of breakfast cakes, and when Ruki got downstairs, she looked at him and with a sarcastic smile she announced through mouthfuls, "Charge it to this guy." The owner nodded, and handed a slip of paper to Ruki. Ruki took one look at the paper and his jaw hit the floor. Sayumi just kept eating as Ruki emptied his pockets, grumbling the whole time.
After the guys ate a quick breakfast, Will decided they didn't need the wagon anymore and sold it to the innkeeper, who was grateful for a good-quality wagon to make deliveries. So the trio got back onto the road to Repremendant, each riding their own horse. Sayumi was in front, her horse being the fastest. They cantered down the road until about lunchtime, when they took a quick break to let the horses graze and themselves eat. Ruki and Will sat on the grass laughing and talking, while Sayumi took some fruit to eat underneath a large tree. While she sat on one of the roots, memories swam through her head of when her and Eliah rode out to a large tree in the countryside and he sat in it. She remembered how light her heart had felt, and how happy she had been. She remembered Eliah's gentle smile, and as she envisioned his smile, it morphed into the hateful savage expression he displayed as he dived towards her with his sword pointed straight at her heart. She buried her face into her knees, and wouldn't have cared if Ruki had decided to kill her right then and there.
Meanwhile, at the castle, Eliah had rounded up the few witches and warlocks that people knew about in Feresat, and had them all in shackles made of cold iron in the throne room. Eliah sat on the throne, looking out across the room full of people, and all he could do was smile that sarcastic smile that was almost permanently on his face now. "So you are the witch-folk of Feresat, eh? I was hoping for a more lively bunch than you."
A young man blurted angrily, "We may be a bit more lively if you had fed us this past two days!Why are we even here?" Eliah glanced at Takumi, and gave a curt nod. Takumi walked over to the offending man, and took his arm in one hand, and with a swift twist, snapped the bones in the man's arm. The youngster wailed, and pried his arm away from Takumi as fast as he could. He groaned with pain, and Eliah laughed. "I don't need to waste my rations on you. Besides, for most of you, this will be your last day alive." He flicked his finger, and suddenly from seemingly nowhere, hundreds of arrows shot out and struck the witch-folk. The ones who had survived the first wave started screaming, and before they could even think about using their abilities, soldiers from the sides of the room descended upon them and Eliah watched carefully as the weaker of the witch-folk were killed easily by the soldiers. However, he quickly saw there was a handful of witch-folk who managed to fend off the better part of the soldiers, even killing a few of them.
Just before the soldiers struck the final blows, Eliah shouted, "STOP!" And everyone froze. Eliah clapped his hands a few times, and added, "Splendid performance everyone! We ought to make this a production and take this to every kingdom in the world, they would love it!" Even his soldiers were scowling at him now. One witch called out, "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Eliah laughed, and replied, "I should ask you the same thing, monster. Normally I would have killed all of you without hesitation, but you five can be useful to me." The witch glared savagely at him, and asked, "What makes you think any of us would serve a tyrant like you?"
Eliah walked in between his soldiers, and held the witch's chin. "Why, my dear abomination," He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "The answer is simple. I will make you the most powerful and rich person in the kingdom." The witch wrinkled her brow and stared intently at him. He smirked and she glared at him as she announced, "Why can't I read your thoughts?"
Eliah burst out laughing. "Oh my dear, you must know that I've recently developed the skill of closing my mind to witch-folk! How could I kill your kind so easily if I couldn't?" She glared at one of the swords of a nearby soldier, and Eliah dived out of the way just in time to miss it. The witch cried out in shock, and Eliah laughed hysterically as a different soldier shot a crossbow arrow straight through her abdomen. Her eyes opened wide, and she clutched the arrow with all her might. As blood started to soak her clothes from the wound, Eliah walked up to her again and gave her a bored expression. "Oh you fool, you honestly thought after all the trouble I've been through to exterminate your kind that I could be killed by such a simple trick?" She opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was blood. She fell to her knees, and with one swift stomp Eliah crushed her head and it was over.
He then looked up at the other four witch-folk that were left, and he held his hands out in a welcoming gesture (the effect was lost by the blood that was splattered on his clothes and face). "Well my little failures, there can only be one of you serving me. I will let that one live, but the other three must die." He turned and started walking away, but before he left the circle his soldiers had formed he called over his shoulder, "Make it swift, if you please!"

ACU sponsors Eureka prize for The Responsible Scientist
Monday, 30 August 2010
18 August 2010: The 2010 Australian Catholic University Eureka Prize for Research in Ethics was last night awarded to Dr John Forge, for his research on the social, moral and legal responsibilities faced by scientists.
Dr Forge is a Research Associate at the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science at The University of Sydney.
His book The Responsible Scientist: A Philosophical Inquiry, argues that scientists carry a moral obligation for their research, whether they are engaged in applied or pure science and where the end use is unknown.
Dr Forge said science often treats the question of ethics as an inward-looking concern, as if it's only necessary to ensure that the methodology is above reproach, rather than looking to the ramifications of the work. His said his book will help change this introspection.
The $10,000 Eureka Prize for Research in Ethics is awarded for the investigation of theoretical or practical ethical issues that contributes to an integrated body of work represented by a book, monograph or a series of related articles that contributes to the understanding and development of ethical standards.
