#4 Nations 2024

[leslie-o-crieff]

La capacité qu'a le rugby à se réformer et à évoluer, je trouve que c'est une chose très positive. La meilleure illustration de cela, c'est la règle du 50-22 instaurée en 2021, qui est un franc succès pour l'intérêt du jeu. Cependant, il me semble que les nouvelles règles qui ont été instaurées à l'occasion du 4 Nations 2024 (Rugby Championship) sont trop nombreuses. C'est très très bien de ne pas hésiter à réformer, c'est sain et ça amène plein de bonnes choses, mais il me semblerait judicieux de ne pas effectuer un trop grand nombre de modifications d'un seul coup.

For wife @twosides--samecoin’s Fallout 4 longfic, Long Time Running. You can read it here.

Long story short, she let me near the fun fonts. I made a number of custom assets for use in parody WPA/National Parks and Parks Canada posters, including a legible, non-sesquicentennial-version of the Department of the Interior seal appearing on the Zion posters in New Vegas. 😂

Progress (and a Parks Canada version) below cut.

Taylor Swift spent $160,000 on lavish Cartier and Louis Vuitton gifts for her entire team after she made history by winning fourth Best Album at the Grammy!

“Taylor had a historical year, and on a night where she made history, she is always very grateful and thanking the love and constant support from her team and collaborators, people felt very emotional when receiving the gifts. Everybody loved them."

long time running x @yeehawgust day 23: rocky mountain high

He was born in the summer of his 27th year Comin' home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away On the road and hangin' by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long But the Colorado Alberta Rocky Mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

Color the World Orange Day

The first Monday of November is Color the World Orange Day, on November 4 this year. This day is dedicated to creating awareness for an illness that is still poorly misunderstood, providing support to those affected, and educating the world about its existence.

History of Color the World Orange Day

Color the World Orange Day stands at the front of creating awareness and educating the larger population about a rare condition, but not uncommon, primarily among society’s middle-aged members of society. On this day, the medical profession stands with the people affected, and the day pushes the whole world to understand, sympathize, and take action where possible.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, also classified as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a neurological discomfort that includes heightened nerve impulses in a specific body site. Medical specialists speculate that the condition is a result of a dysfunction in the central nervous system. An injury to the leg or hand can also bring on the syndrome. A triggering of the immune response can cause injury-related CRPS, which may lead to symptoms such as redness and swelling in the affected area. It is thus believed that this may represent a disruption of the healing process.

In history, several medical bodies and independent doctors have tasked themselves with understanding the causes and treatment for this syndrome. Presently, there is no cure for this disorder, so the goal is to relieve painful symptoms associated with the disorder. Methods include psychotherapy, physical therapy, and drug treatment.

Color the World Orange Day FAQs

Is CRPS a lifelong impairment?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome currently has no cure. Still, with the right medication and counseling, most patients experience improved symptoms and better conditions. However, in some patients, the symptoms can last for years and even get worse.

What causes CRPS?

This syndrome is still being researched as it is uncommon. The major stressors are injury, surgery, heart attack, or a stroke, and the major symptoms are swelling of the arm or leg.

Will CRPS spread to other parts of the body?

It is common for the swelling and pain to transfer to other body parts but usually to nearby areas. For example, CRPS on the arm can spread to the hand or shoulders.

How to Celebrate Color the World Orange Day

Wear orange

Read about CRPS

Donate

Celebrate this day by simply wearing orange. Take a picture and upload it, tell people why you are wearing orange, and include the official hashtags for the day to create as much engagement as possible.

Use this day to learn about the symptoms and treatments of CRPS, find out more about the topic, and engage others online, at home, or in school. You will learn a lot and also convey information to others.

You can donate to any fundraising for research on CRPS by either purchasing something from any affiliate of Color the World Orange website or by donating directly.

Important Facts About Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

CRPS affects the middle-aged

Long-term signs

CRPS and women

Rumored to cause permanent disability

Early treatment

Contrary to popular belief, it does not affect the elderly.

Symptoms of this syndrome can last for months or years if not identified.

Statistically, women are more affected by this than men.

Untreated symptoms that last up to a year can cause impairments.

Treatment is likely to be effective if started early in the course of the illness.

Why Color the World Orange Day is Important

Provide support

Create and increase awareness

An opportunity to raise funds

This day allows us to support those with CRPS, reminding them that they are not alone. It provides comfort, encouragement, and financial assistance. We can listen to their stories, even if we do not quite understand the pain they experience.

With various activities like fundraising, educational events, walks, and much more, the day strives to create and increase awareness on all levels and call for action.

We love the opportunity to donate to further research on CRPS. Funds raised are also sometimes used for patients who are financially unable to afford medication and physiotherapy.

long time running x @yeehawgust day 22: horse girl

[snippet from chapter 15]

Instead of a black-and-white morality of kindness and bloodshed on antithetical ends of a straight line, Olivia's spectrum seemed bent into a horseshoe; a crosshair with ends that almost converged, opposites closer to each other than either was to the far-off zenith of their shared iron-gray meridian.

Each time RJ found himself in the middle of this reticle and was quite certain she’d kill him, there was some concession in the form of a reward. 

Though she ensured his time in the Rocky Mountains wasn’t easy, at least she had a pattern he could anticipate. Climbing up a glacier against polar winds was rewarding when she balanced his trouble with warmth. Thaw necessitated frostbite; he wanted to breathe in arctic air and allow it to freeze him from the inside out, then wake up in the relative safety of Vault 150 once again.

If Olivia surrounded Mount Fay in a radstorm to eradicate the Brotherhood, at least she allowed RJ into the tempest’s calm center. If she was a 'real wild radhorse' like Hancock said, at least she was willing to share the grasslands.

RJ scoffed at the comparison. She didn’t mind me in the pasture until Jack threw on the saddle while she was distracted.   

Though it took a few days, his anger toward her subsided. Tangible memories of their time together, combined with his own sense of liability, overruled the images he conjured when Hancock divulged the truth about what happened in Goodneighbor. 

There wouldn’t have been a Goodneighbor or Raiders for her to get mixed up with if he hadn't involved her in his affairs. She galloped across the continental divide, crossed the hundredth meridian and left her prairies behind to help an ailing Duncan; Boston punished her, and RJ was complicit. 

He returned to Sanctuary with a report on events in north-east Boston and high hopes to make nice with Olivia. 

If, in order to exact revenge on the Brotherhood, she wanted to overflow Moraine Lake with rain, then flood the world up to surface tension at the cols between the Bow Range’s summits, he wanted to wedge that heavy metal door open so she could drown everyone in the bunker. 

If yellowing late-summer grass in the shadow of Boston’s skyline was a poor substitute for the verdant montane valley she left behind, maybe he could scout the Commonwealth for a meadow and pond protected by a bulwark of hills and miles of forest. 

Maybe, through some cooperation of preparing for the weather and turning her loose someplace she felt accommodated, RJ could begin to make up for his latest regret - that he and Jack took advantage of her kindness; that she had no space or time to think through negotiations when she agreed to leave her beloved Rocky Mountains for the Commonwealth Wasteland.

She trusted him; he encumbered her with his many burdens.

So, RJ returned to Sanctuary, determined to ensure she never felt the heft of a saddle or a cold bit in her mouth ever again. He arrived ready to begin a long atonement for stabbing his spurs in an already frightened mare's side.

After all, it was his fault she was forced to spend all of her time running to begin with.
