 always been top notch and it's nice to see him stretching its wings. Highly recommended.
Yes, this album is fantastic, this guy knows how to create atmospheric vibes. All tracks are very good.High schools across the country have pushed back this year against student journalists who have reported on sensitive subjects, like the reaction to school shootings and adolescent sexuality.
In Orange County, Calif., a principal condemned a school publication for a special issue that focused on teenage relationships, calling it “disrespectful and sensationalistic.”
In a town roughly 20 miles.
Since 1988, when the Supreme Court ruled that a Missouri school district had acted lawfully in removing a two-page spread on divorce and teenage pregnancy from a student newspaper, administrators have been able to censor work in school publications that they consider poorly written or “inconsistent with the shared values of a civilized social order.” Fourteen states have laws in place meant to safeguard school publications from interference.
The killing of the opinion piece on the National School Walkout protest was the third instance of conflict between John Burdett, the principal of Prosper High School in Prosper, Tex., and the school’s news publication, Eagle Nation Online. The first skirmish concerned an article about the cancellation of “movie day,” a school tradition allowing the class that had raised the most money for a cancer charity to see a movie during school hours. Mr. Burdett disputed the article’s take on the cancellation and ordered the faculty adviser, Lori Oglesbee-Petter, to scrub it from the site.
The next incident involved an opinion piece by the current assistant editor, Haley Stack, 16, that argued against the school’s removal of the novel “A Separate Peace” from the sophomore reading list. Mr. Burdett cited grammatical errors in ordering that the story be taken down, Ms. Stack said. Weeks later, Ms. Oglesbee-Petter, a 35-year teaching veteran who had led Eagle Nation Online to more than 175 journalism awards over the last school year, learned that her contract would not be renewed.
The third conflict centered,” Ms. Stack said.
Ms. Stack and Ms. Madhira added that teachers had blocked students who tried to join the walkout, and that the singing of the school song had been disrupted by students who joked about school shootings and offered Nazi salutes.
“It was a mess,” Ms. Stack said. “And so Neha wrote that.”
Ms. Madhira submitted the opinion piece to Mr. Burdett, who barred it from publication, saying it was not representative of the views of the school’s 3,000 students. Prosper High officials and Ms. last fall. After reviewing public records and interviewing students and teachers, Mr.,” Mr. Spahr said. “But once we saw the entire website was down, we knew something was happening.”
Mr..
Ms. Fu and her fellow co-editor in chief, Sam Newman, came to believe that the negative reaction from many parents and the administration had to do with two articles in particular, “Gay” and “Bisexual.” They said Ms. Smalley had asked the reporter of those articles, Kate Finman, to reveal the names of the students she had interviewed, and informed her that she had contacted child protective services. Ms. Finman did not comply with the principal’s request to name the subjects of her stories.
A spokesman.
Mr., where Ty Thompson is the principal, had free rein to cover the mass shooting and its aftermath.
“I think, in general, our administration, especially our principal, Mr. Thompson, is amazing and always wants to work with us and not against us,” said Rebecca Schneid, a co-editor in chief of The Eagle Eye.
Ms. Schneid, 16, offered advice to student journalists dealing with school officials: “Just try to talk to them in a way that makes them understand what your role on campus is. Your job is to talk about the important things happening in your community.”Fu Options is an occasional feature where I share hacks, mods and optional rules for you to try out in your games of FU. They have not been tried or tested in any way, so use them at your own risk!
Following are two alternate ways of using descriptors in your games of FU. Both will significantly change the way they are used in play.
This option makes a character’s descriptors more like Aspects from Fate. Each descriptor should be both good and bad (advantageous and disadvantageous) for the character.* This might require them to be more like statements or catch phrases. Instead of “Handsome” you might be a “Professional model”; instead of “Strong” you might have “Bodybuilder’s physique” or “World’s strongest man”.
You can still use Body/Mind/Edge/Flaw as a guideline for your descriptors, but that isn’t necessary.
The Descriptors work as normal but when they cause you trouble you earn a FU point. “Trouble” might be a penalty die, or might be more narrative. Players or game masters can declare when descriptors are causing trouble.
Note, this will not replicate the “fate point economy” of Fate games, as you are not “paying” to use your descriptors. What it does do is give a specific way to earn FU points, beyond however the setting, game mode or game master might already reward players.
*Many descriptors already are “double edged” but this option really requires you to ensure this is the case.
Like the Aspect option above, this mod would work best if the descriptors could be both positive and negative. The descriptors require “charging” before they can be used to benefit the character. GM’s can choose whether descriptors begin charged or not (I recommend they do!). When you use a descriptor for a significant advantage (such as to gain a bonus die) the charge is spent. The descriptor cannot be used for advantage until it is recharged. A descriptor is recharged when it causes you obvious and significant disadvantage (which may or may not be a penalty die to an action).
A FU point can be spent to automatically recharge a descriptor.
This will limit the use of descriptors significantly. You will also want to ensure that each descriptor has an obvious disadvantage that will allow you to recharge it.
There you are – two alternative ways to use Descriptors.
Thank you for the advice on how to use descriptors. I was contemplating doing this for awhile, as I am inspired by the Wordplay rpg. I was also thinking about making a career trait as well to give extra oomph to the character’s traits…and how he uses them in the world. It will give an extra advantage die when the character can apply the skills he acquired through his career(s) to a situation.
No worries, Ben! Let me know how it goes.This website has been created for all people who have a desire to allow God into their lives and follow His path alone.
Many of you may outwardly be content with your current faith or that which you inherited from your parents and community...but to some out there, there will always be a tugging at the back of their mind that 'there is something more', and that'some things don't always make sense'...
If you are one of those people, then open your eyes, put on your thinking cap, and welcome to an open examination of the system of Submission/Islam which very few know about...
And they said the Almighty has taken a son! You have come with a gross blasphemy. The heavens are about to shatter from it, and the earth crack open, and the mountains fall and crumble. That they claimed that the Almighty had a son! And what need does the Almighty have to take a son? When all there is in the heavens and the earth will come to the Almighty as servants.
And from among the people are those who say: "We believe in God," but if he is harmed in the sake of God, he equates the persecution inflicted by the people with the punishment of God! And if a victory comes from your Lord, he says: "We were with you!" Is God not fully aware of what is in the chests of the worlds?
"Shall I seek other than God as a judge when He has sent down to you the Book fully detailed?" Those to whom We have given the Book know it is sent down from your Lord with the truth; so do not be of those who have doubt.
As for those who rejected, neither their money nor their children will avail them anything from God. They are the fuel of the Fire.
...O people of the Book, let us come to a common understanding between us and between you; that 1) we serve none except God, and 2) that we do not set up anything with Him, and 3) that none of us takes each other as patrons besides God...
