Before I accepted the ping
In the previous week I had 2 Line / Pool rides where the rider made a decision to not count their infant baby as a human. At those moments I exhibited a scarcity mentality (regarding rides), did not challenge the rider, and drove them to the arranged location.
On this day, I ended up in Evanston during a busy college tavern time and I was happy until my next Line/Pool ride took me out of Evanston and into the far north side. They were fine except it was 3 people, yet 2 people is the maximum in a Line/Pool. That act got under my skin. I scored them 3.0 stars and left a note in the app purposing my score.
Immediately after dropping them off at a tavern, I received a new ping.
Rating of 4.2 Stars
The next ping had a rating of 4.2 stars. This is the lowest rating that I have ever seen and yet, I smirked and said to myself 'this will be fun' as I accepted the ping. (What a horrendous decision that was!!!)
It is difficult for me to stress to you how abysmally low a 4.2 star rating is, except to say that I don't recall seeing anything lower than a 4.6 or a 4.7.
Allow me tell you, dear reader, I can easily tell the difference between a 4.9 and a 4.8 rated rider. The gulf between the two is immense; a 4.7 will drop backhanded compliments and have insults sprinkled into conversation. 4.7's often lack standard socialization and conversational skills.
The app made a recommendation to me
My rider comes to the car with an infant carrier in tow. She plunked the carrier in the middle of my back seat without securing it as she didn't have a base to secure it (FYI: that's illegal in Illinois).
When riders get into my vehicle on a Line/Pool ride, I need to select "1 passenger" or "2 passengers" so the app can correctly route me to more riders during the trip. This is so the app understands how many people are in the vehicle and how many more people are eligible to be added. I pressed "2 passengers" on the app, and the app responds with "the passenger must cancel the ride" or something to that affect.
A metaphoric bomb exploded when I told her to cancel the ride
A metaphoric bomb exploded in my vehicle when I politely told her that she would need to cancel the ride as she and the baby are two people.
In less than 30 seconds she veered from loudly complaining that she shouldn't be charged and blathering about how I was going to take her home to general incoherence.
So I cancelled the ride.
The bomb became nuclear when I told her to get out of my car as the ride was cancelled
I told her that she needed to get out of my car, and she outright refused!
What would you do if someone refused to get out of your vehicle?
"STOP HITTING ME!" "DON'T PULL ME OUT OF THE CAR!" "DON'T HIT MY BABY!" "YOU'RE HURTING ME!" "I'M PREGNANT! DON'T HURT ME OR MY BABY!" was all screamed toward me in a foreign accent.
As the situation escalates, what do you do?
Fight, Flight, or Freeze?
I froze.
Its at this point that I realize that I am dealing with the worst type of an excuse for a human. The probability of me being arrested or spending the night in jail had increased to somewhere around 1 in 100. I hadn't touched her or made a motion toward her. I simply cancelled the ride and told her to exit my vehicle.
(As of this writing, I see that her ride would cost her about $7.00.)
My decision tree was limited at this point.
The wretched human in my backseat then faux called 9-11 (I later figured this out based on context), and she complained to the ghost operator that I was beating her and her infant child. It was surreal.
She then called her husband and kept pushing her phone at me while shouting "TALK TO MY HUSBAND!"
Me: "Nah, I'm not talking to him." [twice]
Why would I talk to someone who willfully married a mentally unfit sociopath? What helpful insight could that person provide to me during this nightmare?
Difficulties on the telephone; can you hear me now?
During her shouting episode, I tried calling the rideshare emergency help line. After waiting for 3 minutes to speak with someone, I hung up, and dialed 9-11 and exited my own vehicle. By the way, she was still screaming at me which made it nearly impossible to tell if the voice on the line was a live person or a recording, which necessitated me abandoning my property.
I gave the 9-11 operator the wrong address and the dispatcher hollered at me as the address I gave her was not in Chicago. I asked a passerby for help, and he did give me the address and seemed mildly interested in assisting me. Because I was carrying on 2 conversations, and I determined that the 9-11 call was paramount, the passerby eventually moved along.
Make her ears bleed?
After the call to 9-11 I got back in the car only to be berated further. I thought about what I could do to make sitting in my car an uncomfortable experience- the only thing that popped into my brain was turning on the Pantera Pandora channel and blaring it to uncomfortable levels. Lucky for her, she had her infant in the vehicle, so this idea did not enter the implementation stage.
Chicago Police arrived!
A Chicago Police cruiser pulled ahead of me relatively quickly. After exiting my vehicle and flagging them down, the officer on the passenger side rolled down her window, and I explained the circumstances:
- I'm a rideshare driver
- I cancelled the ride
- She won't get out of my car
- She falsely accused me of bludgeoning her and her infant
- I called 9-11
The Chicago police quickly consulted and questioned both me and the cancelled passenger. She says something about the $5.00 cancellation fee and both the officers look at me like I have her 5 dollar bill in my back pocket to hand right back to her.
Me: "That's between her and the rideshare company."
The Police get both of our stories and confer with one another.
Dear reader, how should the Chicago Police handle this situation?
What's the solution to this ridesharing dilemma?
The Chicago Police suggested to the passenger that they transport her and her infant in its infant car seat (without its base) to her destination in their CPD SUV. This was 100% what I was hoping for.
Yet she refused the officers' solution and continued to refuse to exit my vehicle. Rather, she demanded that I, the rideshare driver (whom she outrageously and wrongfully alleged had committed violence against her AND her infant), drive them home. Seriously, WTF?!
Please diagnose her mental condition in the comment section below.
The male officer comes back to me and speaks under his breath about how she's accused me of some serious stuff and that if I drive her, they'll tail me and intervene should their assistance be warranted. He followed up the solution with a final comment about not egging her on.
Me: "I just want this nightmare to end."
I drove the mentally unstable sociopath passenger and her infant to their home. The Police followed, as promised. I turned Pandora off and said nothing on the 8 minute trip to her home. Somewhere in the middle of the ride she complained about the potholes I had run over. That's indicative of why she's a 4.2.
I dropped the passenger off and she thanked me/someone (!). I never even looked in the rear-view mirror so I think its just as likely that she was talking to her invisible friend on the sidewalk.
The Police debriefed me after I dropped her off and said that this type of work- rideshare driving- was a poor vocational choice on my part as there exist many illogical, impossible, manipulative, and unruly passengers, just like her.
More time wasted on the telephone
I drove to a nearby parking lot and called the rideshare emergency help line. While on hold, I typed out a 'help email' to the rideshare company, because why not? After being on hold for 9 minutes I talked to a representative for 20 minutes.
If its an emergency, shouldn't you pick up within the first 3 rings?
During the call and in my 'help email', I listed out all the issues that I need addressed. Over 80 hours, and 4 followup emails later, and I have heard zero from the rideshare company.
My thoughts on the riders
That infant and the supposed embryo have a tough road ahead. The genes they have inherited are deficient and their environment is a septic tank of awful manners, horrendous communication, and the worst of humanity.
Please leave a comment and mental diagnosis of the passenger described, in the comment section below:

At the beginning of a weight loss journey, stepping on the scales can be challenging, but the thought of adopting a diet without treats is twice as hard! The good news is there are plenty of ways to still enjoy the foods you love when making the switch to a healthier diet, writes Ellie McInerney.
Finding a brand that suits your lifestyle is key, because a good quality, fitness and health-minded brand with products that support your weight loss goals will come in very handy when things get tough. And things will get tough…
A few of my favourite go-to products come from brands like Quest, Venus, Sunwarrior, Growing Naturals and Raw. You may have noticed that recently, more and more health conscious products are making their way onto supermarket shelves, with Coles, Woolworths and IGA now stocking products you could once only purchase from supplement or health food stores. This means more variety for your trolley and more time in your schedule.
So read on to find out which ones you can find in your local supermarket and why these products can support you on your health journey.
Just one of the recent additions to your supermarket shelves is the Quest Bar. Once found only on the shelves of supplement stores – or at the bottom of a fitness junkie's gym bag – Quest Bars hit the market and made some pretty serious waves. Quest Nutrition is now listed as the second fastest growing private company in America – so popular on the gym scene that its treat-tasting bars are now available worldwide.
The mission of Quest Nutrition is to end metabolic disease, and its products truly reflect this by providing consumers with great tasting bars and shakes. Quest products fit nicely into your day as a lower calorie treat that won't tip your diet off balance, while also providing a nutritional boost in the form of 21 grams of protein per bar.
Sunwarrior is a vegan, plant-based protein from raw sprouted wholegrain brown rice. Sunwarrior products contain nine essential amino acids, and according to the brand's website its protein is the first completely hypoallergenic protein – meaning it's very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction and is easily digested by all age groups.
Sunwarrior products are soy free, dairy free, gluten free and non-GMO. Other benefits to Sunwarrior products include being completely free from chemicals like solvents, artificial flavours, artificial preservatives and artificial colours. What's better? These protein shakes taste amazing – the chocolate actually tastes like chocolate and the vanilla actually tastes like vanilla! That's a win for your waistline and your tastebuds!
Venus is a new brand on the market with some amazing products for fitness minded women. Its proteins and supplements support a fitness lifestyle, with ingredients like green tea and acai berry that help burn fat and boost your performance at the gym.
In one serve of the thermogenic Venus protein, you will find a mega 31 grams of protein, a tiny 1.1 grams of fat and only 148 calories. Fitness megastar Michelle Bridges advises a snack should be around 150 calories, so the Venus protein shakes can fit perfectly into your diet as a pick-me up, post-workout shake or when the 3pm slump hits and you want a healthier option.
Other benefits to the Venus range include its supplements like the Shred and Energize Thermogenic Weight Management formula, which encourages the body to burn excess fat and reduce food cravings.
Best of the rest
Some other of my favourite brands that support weight loss are Growing Naturals, Raw and Vital Protein, which use a combination of pea and brown rice protein for vegan friendly, delicious tasting, low calorie shake and supplement options. Incorporating some of these brands into your diet is a much smarter way to indulge your tastebuds when you still want to eat healthy and move towards your weight loss goals, not away from them.
Dieting and healthy eating doesn't have to mean missing out on treats. If you can adopt the Quest Nutrition mantra of "cheat clean" you can have a meal, snack or treat that tastes like a total indulgence, but has nutritional benefits too. So, the next time you want a sweet hit, steer clear of the sugar and hit the supplement section of your supermarket – what you'll find there might just surprise you!

Crisfield Ghost Tours Bike Ride was inspired by Mindie Burgoyne and her best-selling book Haunted Eastern Shore. Mindie knew nothing about ghosts or hauntings until she purchased her strawberry millionaires mansion in Marion, Md. After that she literally had her eyes opened and she started researching the subject.
The Nabbs History Center at Salisbury University had recently done a Folk Lore Collection of stories across the Eastern Shore and Mindie delved into them. The result of her studies was her first book on the subject. Through social networking, she sold out the first printing of 1,500 in three weeks. Stan from Adrenaline High discovered her just after this phenomenon and they collaborated on a bike tour that in its longer version of 25 miles hits ten haunting sites. Shorter versions of the trip can hit a majority of the stops.
The trip has always been well received. The Adrenaline High van supports the trip so participants don't have to peddle any more than they feel comfortable with. Adrenaline High has 12 new trek hybrid bikes so you don't have to lug yours down if you don't want to. AH has also partnered with the Farm House and the Haunted Marquis Manor if you want to make a weekend of it. We like to have 6 and prefer up to ten for this trip.

That doesn't mean that Portuguese wines aren't worth checking out. As I've said before, they can be exceptional and because they are not hugely popular, they can also be great values. Today let's swing through Portugal and pick out some wines to get any budding oenophile excited about discovering Portugal's great vinous treasures.

The Douro is home to Portugal's most famous wine, the dessert wine known fittingly enough as Port. What people don't always realize is that there is a thriving table wine industry in the Douro as well. Using the same grapes that form the basis of Port, mainly Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, many wineries produce exciting, character-filled reds that are rich, muscular and spicy. These are some of the most exciting wines in Portugal, filled with a uniquely Portuguese flavor!
Two to try
Porca de Murca
Quinta do Vale Meao Meandro
Vinho Verde
For popularity, no other Portuguese table wine can match Vinho verde. This is the name of the wine as well as the region. Contrary to what we tend to find on shelves here in the U.S., Vinho Verde is produced in red, white, and even rosé iterations. The success of Vinho Verde stems as much from the wine's price - it is awfully affordable - as its character: light, refreshing and with a hint of fizz.
Vinho Verde is so affordable because it is produced from less ripe grapes, resulting in unmatched freshness and modest alcohol levels, perfect for summer sipping.
Two to try:
Casal Garcia
Quinta da Aveleda

Talk about under-recognized regions. With a name as familiar as Palmela, it's a bit surprising that this region has not become more well known in the states. This region is home to one of the world's great dessert wines, and no it's not Port. I'm talking about their reds wines at the moment. Palmela is a region with a rich assortment of indigenous vines, which generally produce a nice, medium-bodied and red-fruited style of wine. The Castelao grape is one of the stars of the region, though you are as likely to find a little Cabernet here as other important reds such as Alfrocheiro and Trincadeira.
Two to try:
Dona Ermelinda Palmela
Bacalhoa Vinhos Garrafeira Palmela
Since we are down in Palmela on the Atlantic Coast of Portugal, it is fitting that we look at Palmela's neighbor: Setubal. This is the land of fortified muscat wines, and they can be fabulous. Muscatel de Setubal, as the wines are known, are wood-aged Muscats that are capable of aging well though they do show classic orange, apricot and floral notes from release. It is a rather unique style of wine and one dominated by a single producer: Jose Maria da Fonseca, who is credited with developing this style of wine. It's a rare treat and a great and, until recently, very affordable choice for a celebratory wine, especially if you were born in a global craptastic vintage like 1965!
Two to Try
JM da Fonseca Moscatel de Setubal
Bacalhoa Moscatel de Setubal
My final stop today is in the Dao, centered in Portugal's north and just south of the Douro. With such close proximity to the center of Port production, it's no surprise to find Touriga nacional here. What may be surprising, and certainly contributes to the character of the wines, is the prominence that Tinta Roriz has here. That's Tempranillo when it's planted cross the border! The Tinta tends to lighten up the character of the Dao wines, proving to be the perfect foil for the earthier, more tannic Touriga nacional. These are lovely wines on release, with many having been aged for several years in barrel and in bottle at the winery. Earthy and lightly spicy, they are classic European table wines and particularly adaptable on the table.
Two to try
Cardeal Dao
Porta dos Cavaleiros Dao

AN ASYLUM seeker from Zimbabwe who watched as her uncle was shot dead by Robert Mugabe's thugs could be separated from her newborn baby because of harsh UK Government regulations.
Last night, campaigners urged the National Assembly to take up the case of the mother and others who face a similar plight.
The asylum seeker, who is 26 and gave birth to her daughter in Cardiff last week, fled Zimbabwe with her sister last May, weeks after her uncle, an activist with the MDC opposition party, was murdered.
After arriving at Cardiff Airport the two women claimed asylum and were initially sent to Home Office accommodation in Newport. They were moved to Cardiff in September.
Both women have lost appeals to be granted asylum status, although until now only the new mother has had state benefits cut off.
Last night the young mother, who fears victimisation if she is identified, said, "We left Zimbabwe because we were terrified. Now we find ourselves in a terrible situation in Wales.
"The last money I received from the state was £5 just after Christmas and since then I have been living off my sister's benefits. It is very difficult to live.
"I am now terrified that they will take my baby from me. I ask the authorities here to help me and not to separate me from my daughter."
The father of the child is still in Zimbabwe.
The Rev Aled Edwards, chairman of Displaced People in Action, an organisation that campaigns for asylum seekers, yesterday presented an emergency report to the National Assembly's Equality of Opportunity Committee on the plight of the young mother and another asylum seeker from Guiana who is due to give birth in Wales on February 17.
The report said, "During the past few days, the debate concerning the care of asylum seeker children in Wales has taken a significant turn. I believe that it would be remiss of me not to bring to your attention the plight of two young women living in Wales who have had support withdrawn from them.
"The needs of both women are pressing - one, from Guiana, is eight months pregnant and the other, a 26-year-old from Zimbabwe, gave birth to a baby girl last week. She had her support terminated on December 29. She is currently living with her sister who is also on support and is helping to support her.
"However, her sister is not supposed to be housing her in Home Office accommodation and she will be evicted.
"Given that Wales now has a baby girl born to a destitute asylum mother, I would ask the National Assembly through this committee and in co-operation with the Children's Commissioner for Wales, to do all in its power:
"To ensure that baby B is treated in manner which is compatible with the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and in particular Article 9 which states clearly that 'Children should not be separated from their parents unless it is for their own good';
"To ensure that the National Assembly does not act in a manner which is in breach of Section 107 of the Government of Wales Act that prohibits it from doing any act which is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights;
"To reflect further on the appropriateness of granting new powers to the Children's Commissioner for Wales to protect some of Wales's most vulnerable people - its asylum-seeking children.
"To acquire assurances from the Home Office that Welsh children will not have to turn to the proposed Children's Commissioner for England concerning non-devolved issues, including asylum."
The committee agreed to investigate what powers the Assembly had to intervene.
After the meeting Mr Edwards said, "This woman is in a terrible limbo. She has been refused asylum, yet the Home Office has a policy of not deporting people to Zimbabwe."
Assistant Children's Commissioner for Wales Sara Reid said, "We are very concerned about the situation of children asylum seekers. Under the Children Act 1989 there is also a duty on public authorities to take full account of the needs of children.
"So far as the legal position of the Children's Commissioner for Wales is concerned, we are currently carrying out a thorough evaluation of various anomalies."

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
Factual Reporting: MIXED
Notes: The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) is a conservative nonprofit investigative research organization located in Tallahassee, Florida. GAI was co-founded in 2012 by conservative political strategist and former Executive Chairman of Breitbart, Steve Bannon. Its president is Peter Schweizer, author of a number of books including Clinton Cash, published in 2015. Clinton Cash contains some false claims according to fact checkers. GAI has also received 1.7 million in funding from conservative donor Robert Mercer.
In review, the Government Accountability Institute primarily focuses on crony capitalism and anti-left investigations. For example, this investigation looks at Clinton and her connections to Russia: FROM RUSSIA WITH MONEY Hillary Clinton, the Russian Reset, and Cronyism. The investigation is very well sourced, however some of the information comes from the Clinton Cash book that is known to be factually mixed. GAI also has a feature they call the Newsroom, which curates news from a wide variety of sources such as Fox News and the Daily Mail, both of which we rate as mixed for factual reporting due to failed fact checks. Overall, we rate the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) Right Biased based on story selection and Mixed for factual reporting based on use of poor sources. (8/1/2016) Updated (D.

If you live in or around the Detroit area, you can't help but be aware of the urban gardening movement that has been underway for a number of years. Detroit has been recognized as a model for the development and execution of an urban garden program. Detroit is blessed by having the benefit of highly structured urban/community garden programs as well as many gardens planted and maintain by the citizenry for the benefit of the immediate community.
I have a history of gardening going back to the early 80's. I got away from it for awhile, but I got back into it in a serious way when I was diagnosed with diabetes. That, plus all of the recalls for infected foods from afar. It made perfect sense to me, that I, like so many others, needed to take control of my food supply chain. I started small and over a period of 3 years the garden expanded from about 40 sq. ft. to 200 sq.ft. Last year, I heard about Detroit's urban gardening programs and this year I joined "The Garden Resource Program", a collaborative program that is supported by The Greening of Detroit, Detroit Agriculture Network, Earthworks Garden/Capuchin Soup Kitchen, and Michigan State University. For a membership fee/donation of $10.00 I received:
- Seeds
- Plants
- Subscription to a Quarterly Newsletter
- Subscription to a E-newsletter
- Invitation to participate in garden group events, workshops and community efforts.
They have a "Community/School" garden program that costs $20.00 a year and you get nearly 3 times the amount of seeds and plants. The intelligence that they provide is very user-friendly. This year my garden excelled and I think that it is due, primarily, to the urban garden program.
Not being a novice it wasn't like I was there to learn but to share…
I shared a lot but I learned a lot more. The main thing I learned was that, though I was a single family gardener, I was connected to a very large family…a community, really…that I could draw from.
Everybody had a story, an experience, some wisdom to share.
Now this might not be so unique, but when you consider the type of press that Detroit typically gets, this is one story that really should get more play.
Another significant benefit of participating in the program was the tremendous yield from this year's garden. I expanded from about 200 sq.ft. to 400 sq.ft. because of the quantity of seed/plants I was going to get from the organization. Following their guidelines, I was able to start harvesting vegetables on Memorial Day and I am still getting tomatoes and peppers at the time of this posting. I shared so much from my garden…giving to my family, friends and neighbors…that I truly felt that I was feeding an entire community…this was my contribution to society. I gave away plenty and what I got back was immeasureable. I have a totally different idea now as to what we are here for. So the lessons that I got from this year's garden were a direct reflection of what I put into it…
Kind of like "life", right?

Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue (L) as British artists (2L-R) Tai Shani, Oscar Murillo, Lawrence Abu Hamdan and Helen Cammock celebrate after being announced as the joint winners of Turner Prize 2019 at Dreamland in Margate, Kent, Britain, 03 December 2019. The Turner Prize, which is presented since 1984 to a British-born or based artist aged under 50, is in its 35th year and is considered the highest award for arts in Britain. EPA/VICKIE FLORES
The prestigious Turner Prize for art has been awarded to - everyone.
"At a time of political division in Britain and conflict in much of the world, the artists wanted... to make a strong statement of community and solidarity"— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) December 3, 2019
Turner Prize awarded to all four nominees, for first time in its 35-year historyhttps://t.co/dIG4lRmK6A pic.twitter.com/ADy3hk2M0q
All four of the artists chosen as finalists won this year's award after they wrote to the jury and asked to be treated as a collective, prize organisers said on Tuesday during a ceremony at the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate, southeast England.
Artists Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo and Tai Shani said that at a time when the world is divided, they wanted "to make a collective statement in the name of commonality, multiplicity and solidarity - in art as in society".
Jury president Alex Farquharson said award judges agreed unanimously to the request.
Turner Prize 2019 goes to... a collective bringing together the four nominated artists: Abu Hamdan/Cammock/Murillo/Shani. The prize was presented by Edward Enninful, Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, at a ceremony broadcast live on the BBC from Dreamland in Margate this evening. pic.twitter.com/25GrfOJRjB— Turner Contemporary (@TCMargate) December 3, 2019
Farquharson, director of the Tate Britain gallery in London, said the four artists - Beirut-based Hamdan and London artists Cammock, Murillo and Shani - had not met before they were shortlisted for the prize earlier this year, but had since "formed a real creative and ethical bond."
"It's not four winners. It's one winner, and it's the four of them as a collective," he said.
All four of the artists explore political terrain.
Cammock has delved into the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland, Shani created a feminist science fiction world, Murillo is influenced by the history of his native Colombia and Hamdan interviewed former inmates of a notorious Syrian prison for a sound installation.
Usually the Turner Prize winner receives $US32,000 ($A47,000) and the runners-up $US5,000 ($A7,304). This year the four artists can divide the $US40,000 ($A58,000) prize pot however they wish.
Named for 19th-century landscape painter J.M.W. Turner, the award was founded in 1984 and helped make stars of potter Grayson Perry, shark pickler Damien Hirst and "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen.
But it has also been criticised for rewarding impenetrable conceptual work and often sparks debate about the value of modern art.
The surprise Turner result follows a contentious decision by jurors of this year's Booker Prize for fiction to split the award between two writers, Margaret Atwood and Bernardine Evaristo.
The move was widely criticised in the publishing industry as watering down the impact of the award.

October 2, 2017
Today was an enjoyable day, especially because we got to choose exactly what we wanted to do. We had signed up for the "Hop On Hop Off (HOHO)with admission to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic" and it also included admission to the Citadel.
The double decker buses painted various colors (like blue, pink, and white) were made in England and used in London until they were "retired" and sold to the city of Halifax. We were told that some London visitors recognize the buses by their numbers and can tell you what route they were on in London! The driver sits on the right side of the vehicle as people do in the UK, but Canadians drive on the right.
The Maritime Museum was Stop #3 and we spent quite a bit of time there. Significant exhibits were dedicated to the 1917 Halifax Explosion and the Titanic disaster. Halifax's connection to the Titanic is that most of the bodies were retrieved off the coast of Newfoundland and brought to this port, where White Star Line had a headquarters, and about 150 of them are buried in Halifax cemeteries.
The Halifax Explosion occurred on Dec. 6, 1917 (and the city will commemorate its 100th anniversary this year), when two ships collided in the "Narrows," a less than one-kilometer wide passageway between the bay and the sea. There is a lot of maritime traffic in that spot. The explosion didn't actually happen when the ships collided, but rather when they pulled apart. One of the ships was a French warship loaded with explosives. The explosion caused a major fire which destroyed more of the city that had not been blown up in the explosion.
Nearly 2,000 people died and about 9,000 were injured, while others were lifted into the air and set down some distance away unharmed or with only minor scratches. About 500 people suffered damage to their eyes, rendering them blind. That is why the display of the memorial quilt is surrounded by panels with the victims' names stitched in Braille with beads.
The Titanic exhibit showed comparisons between the Titanic and other passenger vessels. White Star Line was known for their luxury liners, but Cunard (which still exists today) had a better safety record.
The Titanic sank off the coast of Newfoundland and about 300 bodies were recovered and brought to Halifax. The bodies were numbered chronologically according to when they were recovered. This was a meticulous process to insure accuracy in identification. About 150 are buried mostly in Fairview Lawn Cemetery (another stop on the Hop On Hop Off route), 12 were buried in a Catholic cemetery and 10 in a Jewish cemetery. Each body had a mortuary bag with its corresponding number, which contained any personal effects that were found that belonged to that person. Some of the bodies were returned to families, but those buried in Halifax were either from families who could not afford to have the body shipped home or were unidentified. Some of the mortuary bags are catalogued and stored at the museum. One item on display was a pair of shoes allegedly belonging to the "unknown child" buried in a special grave at Fairview Lawn. (That child was identified in recent years due to the advances in DNA identification techniques.)
There was information about the separation of first, second and third classes. A lot fewer women and children from third class were saved than those in first class! There were also different menu items for each class.
Even what they got to eat was different! (L-R: 3rd class menu, 2nd class menu, 1st class menu)
The museum had profiles of some of the victims. One was a man who had kidnapped his
two children and boarded the Titanic under an assumed name. He got his two children onto the last lifeboat, and they were eventually reunited with their mother. The father died and was buried in the Jewish cemetery under the assumed name, even though by then his real name was known.
Another story was of a mother who lost her life along with four of her children. They had not booked passage on the Titanic; they were supposed to sail on another ship, but the coal from that and other vessels was diverted to the Titanic for its high profile maiden voyage. As a result, these other ships were unable to sail as scheduled and some passengers were transferred to the Titanic, including the mother and her four children. The mother was buried with whichever of her children were recovered and identified. Although most of the children's bodies were never found, all her children's names were engraved on the tombstone, including those who had not been with her, because the survivors also requested to be buried with their mother when they died.
When we went outside to see a replica of a ship called the Acadia, the wind was blowing strong and cold. One can tour the entire boat, but I only spent a couple of minutes out there before telling Dale I was very cold and was going to wait for him inside.
When I came out of the bathroom, he was waiting for me, having visited a couple of the souvenir shops. (I wish it had occurred to me then to purchase a hoodie in one of those shops; I would have been more comfortable a lot sooner!)

Sesquiterpene lactone containing Mexican Indian medicinal plants and pure sesquiterpene lactones as potent inhibitors of transcription factor NF-κB
Document Type
Publication details
Bork, PM, Schmitz, ML, Kuhnt, M, Escher, C & Heinrich, M 1997, 'Sesquiterpene lactone containing Mexican Indian medicinal plants and pure sesquiterpene lactones as potent inhibitors of transcription factor NF-κB', FEBS Letters, vol. 402, no. 1, pp. 85-90.
The publisher's version of this article available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0014-5793(96)01502-5
Peer Reviewed
The potential inhibitory effect of 54 Mexican Indian medicinal plants on the activation of transcription factor NF-κB was studied. Band-shift experiments identified the ethanolic leaf extracts of Artemisia ludoviciana ssp. mexicana, Calea zacatechichi, and Polymnia maculata (all rich in sesquiterpene lactones) as inhibitors of NF-κB down to a concentration of 25 μg/ml. The sesquiterpene lactones isohelenin and parthenolide prevented NF-κB activation completely as low as 5 μM. Treatment of HeLa cells with leaf extract of A. ludoviciana ssp. mexicana, isohelenin and parthenolide prevented the induction of transcription on the IL-6 promoter. These experiments identify the eudesmanolide and germacranolide type of sesquiterpene lactones as potent non-antioxidant inhibitors of NF-κB. All plants active in the NF-κB assay also showed a delay in the onset of capillary reactions of the allantois membrane in a physiological model for anti-inflammatory activity - the HET-CAM assay.

Capital Group Cos., the third-largest manager of U.S. mutual funds, urged 800,000 customers to change account passwords and other information to protect themselves from risk caused by the Heartbleed computer bug.
The bug may have exposed some customers who accessed their accounts on the website for the firm's American Funds mutual funds between Dec. 12 and April 14, Chuck Freadhoff, a spokesman for the Los Angeles-based firm, said in a telephone interview. The company today recommended in an e-mail to those clients that they change their user information, password, security image and questions, and delete their browsing history and "cookies."
"Through an outside vendor there was with Heartbleed a vulnerability that gave a view to information flowing through that vendor's servers," Freadhoff said. "We are doing this out of an abundance of caution," he said, adding that the company had no information indicating accounts had been accessed by hackers.
Heartbleed, which was recently discovered by technology researchers and made public on April 7, prompted security experts to urge consumers to change their Internet passwords, even as Google Inc., Facebook Inc. and large banks said they weren't affected. The bug can expose people to hacking of their passwords and other sensitive information.
Programming Error
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, made up of representatives from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other U.S. regulators, said last week that systems operating a widely used encryption technology called OpenSSL are at risk of being hacked.
The flaw stemming from a 2-year-old programming mistake was discovered by researchers from Google and Codenomicon Ltd., a technology security firm based in Finland, and reported to OpenSSL, according to a blog post from Codenomicon. It isn't known whether malicious hackers were aware of the bug and exploiting it, the researchers wrote.
Bloomberg News reported April 11 that the National Security Agency knew about the bug for two years and made it part of its hacking toolkit for information gathering. The NSA has since denied that it knew of the bug before an April 7 report by the private security researchers.
Capital Group manages $1.3 trillion for clients, including $1.1 trillion in its American Funds lineup, according to the company and data compiled by research firm Morningstar Inc. Only Vanguard Group Inc., based in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and Boston's Fidelity Investments oversee more in mutual funds.
Capital Group's largest fund is the $138 billion Growth Fund of America, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The firm operates more than 50 million shareholder accounts, Freadhoff said.

One more reason I know this film of mine will work.
It's pretty wordy. But nevertheless, it's frickin' awesome. Modern camera work, contemporary scene layout and composition in a silent format. It works!
It works.

May I present... Jack Mulvey!
Here's the tinkerer that ended the Civil War abruptly in 1863 with the invention of an aerial mortar launcher that rained destruction on the southern calvary.
This is going to be awesome.
I want to thank Scott for coming over and trying on the clothes tonight; he's a busy man.

Readiness hearings for Southwestern College, Sweetwater Union High School District, and San Ysidro School District defendants were held October 29 in the South Bay courthouse. Defendants indicted in pay-to-play corruption cases had been ordered to appear by judge Ana Espana.
Prior to the readiness conferences, Yolanda Hernandez, a San Ysidro trustee, pleaded guilty to one perjury misdemeanor. When Hernandez is sentenced, she faces the possibility of being unable to serve in a public office for four years. She will, however, be allowed to serve out the remainder of her current four-year term, which began in November 2010.
The attorney for former Southwestern superintendent Raj Chopra was pleased with the conference outcome. Attorney Michael Attanasio, of Cooley, LLP, stated that two felony counts and several misdemeanors were reduced to a single misdemeanor of failure to disclose gifts on his conflict-of-interest form.
After the hearing, Attanasio stated that "The misdemeanor resolution was based on what was essentially a bookkeeping error. My client will serve no custody, and he will gladly perform some community services."
After the day's proceedings, deputy district attorney Leon Schorr commented, "There are only so many of us DA's and there are a ton of things that we would like to be doing, including this case. I think the judge put it well today, when she said, 'It's in the best interest of the defendants and all the community to come to resolution; there's a great expense that's on the community, it's a burden on the community and on everybody, so if we can get to resolutions that are appropriate, then that's the best.'"
Some attendees worried that the outcome of the October 29 proceedings appeared to be in contrast with statements made by district attorney Bonnie Dumanis.
On January 27, 2012, Dumanis stated in a press conference: "The widespread corruption we uncovered during the investigation of this case is outrageous and shameful. For years, public officials regularly accepted what amounted to bribes in exchange for their votes on multimillion-dollar construction projects. The corruption was nothing short of systemic. Today's charges begin the process of holding those officials accountable for their actions on behalf of those taxpayers who footed the bill for lavish dinners, concert and theater tickets, and much more."
However, San Diego attorney Kevin Carlin, who has been monitoring the progress of the case, said in an October 30 interview that what happened at yesterday's readiness conferences was to be expected.
Carlin opined, "At this point in the proceedings there will be some inevitable paring of charges and defendants through negotiated plea deals between the District Attorney's Office and individual defendants. While such negotiated plea deals must be reviewed and approved by the court, they are encouraged to promote efficiency and conserve resources.
"Court approval of individual plea arrangements at this point in the proceedings should not be interpreted as any type of indication of the strength or weakness of the overall case against any of the remaining defendants."

Carlin is full of something odorous. The DA has gone wobbly on these cases, and the judge is mealy-mouthing. It's the judge's job to resolve these cases properly, not sign off to whacks on the wrist. She's had months to get ready and comes across as a whiner. So these pleas are "resolutions that are appropriate", huh? Multiple felony counts pled down to a single misdemeanor with no jail time, no removal from office, and apparently no fine are now "appropriate." Anyone who fails to see this miscarriage as a harbinger of what will happen with the others is just not paying attention.
My anticipation was that few, if any, of these cases would go to trial. Corruption cases seldom go that far. The usual disposition is a plea bargain involving removal or resignation from the elective position, a fine, and in some instances jail time. But here, Chopra skates with one minor misdemeanor plea when he started out with a whopping nine felony counts.
Folks, this is pathetic. Don't expect anything better as they work their way through the rest of the pack of crooks.
How about 2 detentions and a Saturday school. !
And nothing is being done about the blatant disregard and contempt for the teachers, students and taxpayers of this district?
We are fed up with what is being fed to us.
I believe that by the time the wrist slapping is over we will be left with the major players. Sandoval,Gandara,Quionnes and Ricasa. As one of the attorney's said in the last hearing" Can you imagine 15 attorneys questioning each witness for the state". I know this was expected but I feel Chopra was a big disappointment. Hell community service and fines would have at least left an impression. With the pleas at least we will not be paying the legal fees. It's my understanding that each of the big four have paid over 100,000 thousand each so far. This is before trial begins. Sorry but this gives me some sense of relief. These four will never serve in public office ever again the cost to them will be astronomical before this is over Ricasa will definitely lose her job and probably her retirement. Pearl will lose her home unless she Homesteaded it and she maybe forced to get a job to pay for the trial. She already borrowed on the house she has twice. I doubt prison time,but that is still a possibility because the felonies carry a four year term. Let's see who goes to trial.
erupting- even though I was aware of the happenings of the court proceedings seeing it in print and then reading Visduh's comments put me into a 'downer'. However, after a sleepless night, and with the dawn of a new day I SEE THE LIGHT!
Chopra, the person who was so ill he could not attend some of the proceedings, the DA looking to fortify his case - throw the book at an old man or USE the old man (no disrespect to old men, I am married to one) as a witness? Hmmm,,,,,, Now the question, might the same happen on the Sweetwater side of the case, might one of the indicted be offered the carrot of a sweet deal? Might it be the false prophet, the counselor or the teacher who choose to sing like a canary?
While we are aghast at the level of alleged corruption, in truth this is considered a white collar crime. Do you really think Arlie Ricasa is being sent to the big house? Not going to happen. Besides, when I think about it rationally she and her cohorts would continue to rip us off via more tax dollars being used to house her and the others in the big house.
Erupting you are right, the money the ruin of reputations - no more Ms. or Mr. Fillipina, Latina, Latino, Pastor, Republican or Democrat of The Year for this group. All of this awards and plaques they received - not sure if they will get a tax write off for them at Am Vets.
THEY RUINED IT FOR THEMSELVES? Google will forever be the keeper of the truth - try Googling their names.
All one has to do is look at any one of them to see the strain their indictments have had on them personally. WAS IT WORTH IT?
One last thought, the missing Mello funds, is it possible Brand used them to help out his friend Cartmill, or perhaps Ricasa. Absurd you say? Think about it, how would we know? Where did the money go, Brand is not saying, so I thought I would speculate. Remember those couple of months when the PI issue was tabled, what did Brand do? He hired them any way. Let us not forget it was Ed Brand who helped Jim Cartmill out of bankruptcy to the tune of several thousand dollars, and then there were the greenbacks Tom Hassey threw in as well. Talk about a trio - Cartmill, Brand and Hassey -
Chopra's gone, more than likely for good, but does anyone else feel a little uneasy knowing San Ysidro trustee, Yolanda Hernandez, who now admits committing the crime of perjury, might be allowed to remain in a position of power? Who is looking out for the the public's interest here?
Yes, not exactly a ringing endorsement for a public figure. Not someone any student should want to emulate. We need to do better here. We can do better here.
Hopefully the judge, like many of the 'movers and shakers' of San Diego is a Luzzaro follower, if so, she may prohibit Hernandez from attempting to serve again for the next few years.
I still remember Hernandez's comment a few years back, when she served on the SUHSD BOC ( yep a 'gandara' follower she was) - she told the committee and those community members attending she was single, rich, and looking for a husband/man (you had to be there) I wonder how much of her riches were spent on her defense?
Hope all of you get to see the video that is going around of a certain Dr. Bully!
Could you provide a link?
I am trying to see what I can do about it. Don't think I can manage a direct link with facebook.
Will have to see if this works.
The quote attributed to the judge is revealing. Sounds as if she's complaining about the workload that these cases will bring. And the quote from the deputy DA sounds about the same. Yet as far as expense and burden go, is there any more important job for the DA and the local courts than to deal with massive corruption?
Many or most of our eastern and mid-western industrial and commercial cities have been mired in corruption for generations. The corrupt regimes that control those cities keep this sort of thing going indefinitely. "Reform" slates of candidates come and go, and the political machines just keep going on. (Oh, what cities do I reference? How about Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago and while we are at it, the entire state of New Jersey.) Once that corruption takes strong root, it just never seems to go away.
Here in the far west, we like to think we've avoided that sort of machine politics. We don't listen to tales of crime families running our city or LA or San Francisco or Portland or Seattle. But east of the Mississippi, corruption in city government is the norm, not the exception.
If this mess in So County is not uprooted with vigor, and now, the same sort of thing could become permanant. The south County is at the tipping point. If this stuff is allowed to go without severe consequences, the corruption will only get worse, much worse.
The judge, who comes across as feeling overworked (a whiner) could actually do something really significant once in her life. She could be the one person who stopped rotten politics in it tracks, uprooted it, and changed the course of local governance. How many of us get the opportunity to do something that sweeping in our lives? It is a chance for her to make use of that judicial power she has, and turn things around.
Handled properly, and with "appropriately" severe punishment, she could send a loud and clear message to any/all local pols who are tempted to do similar things that they had better reconsider. At the least it would clean up the political systems in Chula Vista and and "Nasty" City. But could we hope, just a feeble hope, that it could also rub off in San Diego itself?
These cases are watershed cases, and how they are handled, and how the miscreants are punished has great significance for all of this county, and for the LA/OC/San Bernardino/Riverside region. Time for this judge to stop complaining about expense and to stop fussing about workload and do her job. She is going to deal with a parade of crooks from the public sector, and they need to be kicked out of office, fined, and jailed. When/if that happens, that area "so close to Mexico, so far from heaven" can find its bearings again.
Eastlaker, Would it be possible for you to tell me how to find it. There are several of us that would like to take a look. If what this Anniej person says is true and Jim was loaned money by Ed Brand it is looking pretty bad.
Yes, Ed definitely loaned Jim money a few years back when Jim had some financial difficulties.
How does the "largest public corruption case in the history of San Diego County" go from something over 250 felony and misdemeanor indictments to a single misdemeanor conviction/perp? It was either "the largest," or it was something very much smaller that was being hyped by candidate Dumanis.
Money was misspent, the process was abused, the public was robbed, the system was gamed, all in the name of what? Petty misdemeanors? Since when is accepting a bribe by a public official a petty crime?
The system is broken, and the breakage is in the DA's office. Shame on Bonnie Dumanis, and shame on Leon Schorr. You both might as well have said you don't really give a damn about what happens in the South Bay. Your messages is loud and clear. "Just don't get caught, but if you do... no big deal."
If the video in question is the School Board Meeting video from Otay Ranch KORtv, you can find it on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/77625365
It is a different video, but thanks for posting the one you did.
Visduh, a program manager once likened the way business was done in the South Bay to the wild west. On the other hand I have heard some attorneys in this case argue that the cash giving and the gift giving--(and I assume the attendant vote on contracts)--is the culture, is normal, is the way everybody does it.
I have read all the transcripts. If this is the normal way the people's business is conducted, then the people are not well served.
You make a good point -- Judge Espana is pivotal.
Susan, thanks for the remarks. Lest my comments seem to be treating the So County differently than, say, No County, let me assure all the readers of these comments that I'm not smug about politics in the rest of the county. There is plenty of hanky-panky going on, but those so engaged are smart enough to keep it out of sight and not blatantly parade it in the faces of the voters. The usual fighting in school districts and our community college districts in No County seems to be about competing educational philosophies, the need for facilities, the sort of facilities to be built, and how to deal with the teacher unions. A few really incompetent people have managed to have highly rewarding careers in educational administration and support. But if there is outright corruption, they keep it hidden.
Yes, this judge has the future of those districts in her hands. If she caves or lets the DA cave, this culture of corruption will grow ever larger. If she decides that "enough is enough" and insists that all of them leave their offices, pay significant fines, and may we hope, serve at least a few days in the slammer, there's a chance for "a new birth of freedom."
We need real change, or we risk living in a world of institutional corruption, with all students in perpetuity being shortchanged. This would not bode well for this county...
I think there are some--not you, Visduh--from North County who think corruption down here in the south is ok, because it doesn't touch them. Except...it eventually will. It needs to be eradicated. I am tired of seeing monies that are supposed to be for the students going into Ed Brand's voluminous pockets.
Sorry about the glitch.
Is everyone aware of the bomb threat that was called in on Oct. 29th to two National City schools, Sweetwater High and Olivewood Elementary?
Here is the link to the short U-T article; the comments are worth reading, as they point out how oddly this was handled:
If anyone reading this has any sort of emergency training, could you please comment on this?

Understanding Long-Term Care Insurance
When you come to the point where your medical needs are not covered by a traditional health insurance, you may need to tap into your long-term care insurance. This type of insurance covers your long-term care services, which can include personal care in many different types of settings, including your home, a nursing facility, or a community organization.
If you are unable to perform basic daily functions, then you may need some help to keep you clean and cared for. From bathing to dressing to eating to walking, it is thought that at least 60 percent of people above 65 will need long-term care at some point. It is important to note, however, that long-term care is not just an elderly issue, however.
How does this insurance work? Long term care policies reimburse you for services that help you deal with your daily tasks. The premium cost will be dependent upon several factors, including your age and the maximum number of days or years that the care policy will pay.
Two different types of policies are available. The first is a tax qualified policy and this policy requires the policyholder to meet specific factors that will dictate payment. This can include things such as not being able to perform two daily living activities for at least 90 days. A non-tax qualified policy only requires the doctor to state that they require care. Evaluating both types is essential to making sure there are no surprises.
Call us to learn more about long-term care insurance.

Bob Dénard – now there's a biography I'd like to write. Né Gilbert Bourgeaud, aka Said Mustapha Mahdjoub, Muslim, Jewish or Catholic depending on the territory being occupied. Father of eight, murderer of many.
Killer of independence.
The lessons he carried out, cautionary tales illustrating the cost of freedom versus the value of it, have weighed heavily on my mind this past week.
For three decades, beginning in the 1960s, he was the patrol dog of Françafrique and beyond. He put his mercenary paws all over Benin, Gabon, Congo, Yemen, Nigeria, Iran, Zimbabwe, and his favourite target, L'Union des Comores. He's doctored more coups and coup attempts than I have fingers and toes, generally with the backing of Western powers looking to protect their interests in the decolonized South. It was in France's interest that the Comores be plunged into chaos and poverty post independence. It was in France's interest that these newborn republics fail. Otherwise, what sort of message would that send to the remaining colonies? Colonies that, to this day, moodily accept overseas territory status and massive inequality, perhaps for fear that the alternative – independence – would leave them in much worse shape. Recent referenda in Martinique, French Guiana and Mayotte show that no, in fact, we do not all yearn to be free. Some would prefer to stay yoked, heads held above water, than drown.
Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive le sacre mercenaire.
I wonder if Bob the Dog ever looked on Haiti and cursed himself for having been born too late. "A century and a half earlier," he might have muttered, "and I could have put a clamp on that, too."
Awful, awful, awful.

Last Updated March 6, 2013
Form 5329 is used to address penalties on certain transactions which occur in your retirement account. These include:
- The 10% early distribution penalty. If your IRA Custodian/Trustee or plan administrator incorrectly indicates whether the distribution amount is subject to the 10% early distribution penalty, you must file Form 5329 for this purpose to correct the reporting.
- Excess accumulation penalty. You owe the IRS a 50% excess accumulation penalty on any required minimum distribution (RMD) amounts not withdrawn by the deadline. Form 5329 must be filed even if you are asking to have the penalty waived. And
- The 6% additional tax assessed on excess contributions to IRAs. If you make an excess contribution to an IRA, and you fail to correct the excess contribution by your tax filing deadline, including extensions, you must for Form 5329 to report the penalty.
Form 5329 should be filed with your tax return. However, if your tax return has already been filed, it can be filed separately.

Dialogue #2: Diane Whiteside (1 of 3)
Dialogues: Lynda Williams and a guest author tackle the same topic from two points of view.
Topic: Moral responsibility for empowered characters.
Protagonists with special powers beg the question of how they will relate to others. Despotic evil is always an option. But even an ethical character can suffer conflict over competing attachments. Lynda Williams and Diane Whiteside both write about characters with superhuman abilities who wrestle with these issues.
Diane Whiteside
Arriving third in four generations of published authors, Diane Whiteside has more than a dozen novels, four novellas, and a collection of short stories under her belt. Creator of the Irish Devil and Texas vampire series, she has written fantasy and historical novels for both print and e-publishers, traditional and independent publishers. Her latest novel, The Shadow Guard, was inspired by far too many late night black-and-white movies. For more information, please visit her website at www.DianeWhiteside.com.
Lynda Williams
is the author of the Okal Rel Saga (Edge Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing) and editor of the Okal Rel Legacies series (Absolute Xpress). Part 7 of the Okal Rel Saga, Healer's Sword, arrives in 2012. Lynda's work features moral dilemmas in a character-driven, multi-cultural setting with radically different attitudes to sex and social control surrounding space warfare and bio-science. She also works as Learning Technology Analyst for Simon Fraser University and teaches a introductory web development course at BCIT.
Q. Describe the superhuman protaganist(s) in your work and their general relationship to normal people.
Diane Whiteside: In an alternate version of today's world, the Shadow Guard protects America from magical dangers. Powerful, arrogant, and honorable, its sahirs are superb magic workers but their long lives have taught them the high cost of freedom. They live secretly, away from normal people, and they would always place "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Lynda Williams: Sevolites have larger-than-life emotions. The Vrellish are an over-sexed, spatially gifted variety; the Demish are arch conservatives and lovers of literature. Lorels scheme to manage the affairs of others. All are descended from bio-engineered lines created to do mankind's flying using a punishing faster-than-life method of space travel called reality skimming. To this purpose, they were created to be regenerative and physically stronger than natural humans. The centrality of reality skimming in their era gives them power. By the time of the 10-novel Okal Rel Saga, Sevolites are ruling a neo-feudal empire in which natural humans are "commoners".
Q. How does your storytelling force protagonist(s) to confront questions of moral responsibility toward "normals," as a group.
Diane Whiteside: Astrid Carlson is a century-old sahir and widow. When she accidentally witnesses the murder of a normal person through her magic, she is forced to relive her husband's death. But the only way Astrid can obtain justice for the victim is to reveal herself as a sahir – which is impossible.
Jake Hammond, on the other hand, is a homicide cop. He lives to speak for the dead and ensure that their killers are brought to trial. For him, "the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many." At first, he doesn't understand why Astrid can't talk openly about how she witnessed the crime. When he does comprehend, he's forced to wonder – for the first time in his long career – whether he should fight to close a murder case or not.
Moral responsibility is a difficult balance to strike, when you're guarding a secret that's protected your country for centuries.
Lynda Williams: In Part One: The Courtesan Prince, the need to re-think Sevildom's relationship to commoners is cast in a new light by Pureblood Prince Amel, who discovers at age 16 that he is potentially heir to the empire although he was raised as a commoner. He has a hard time claiming power, however, given his gentle nature and embarrassing years as a courtesan sword dancer.
Reetions, members of a distinct culture comprised of 100% natural humans, also start to challenge Sevolite ideas of their superiority, and to perturb the age-old balance of Okal Rel, a religiously-underpinned system of self-restraint that keeps Sevolites from destroying the territory they fight over.
