Nightmares Creature poll

i have found a few creatures that i think would work well for nightmare. I'm trying to find some lesser known creatures and cryptids for each character.

if you think you know any other creatures that could work for any of the other bois in this project im working on please comment. I want to know about more cool creatures.

info on the creatures below the poll

Kelpie brief lore

Image not mine

A kelpie is a shapeshifting spirit that comes from Scottish folklore. The Kelpie can take many forms which include that of a black horse as well as a more humanoid form.

Kelpie's inhabit lochs and pools. Drown their victims. Some legends make it when someone touches a kelpie they cant let go and are stuck to the kelpie until they are drowned by them.

nightmare would make a cool kelpie

Barghest brief lore

big black dog

In the 1870s a shapeshifting Barghest was said to live near Darlington.

tbh i just added this option for variety

Leshy brief lore

A Leshy is a forest spirit in Slavic Mythology. The spirit is not particularly evil but isn't a benevolent spirit either. known to lead certain people to wander deeper into the forest and sometimes abduct children according to some legends. although in all a leshy is pretty neutral towards people.

The lechy is said to range in size from a massive giant to tiny depending on where in its forest it is. The leshy gets smaller the closer to the edge of the forest it is.

There is a lot of info that i did not write for these creatures so links to some info on the Kelpie, Barghest, and Leshy

By • Olalekan Fagbade BREAKING; Appeal Court removes Senate Minority Whip as Senator In a turn of events on Saturday, the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos sacked Minority Whip Senator Darlington Nwokocha. Nwokocha, represents Abia Central in the red chamber of the National Assembly on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), Appeal Court declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Col Austin Akobundu (retd), as the duly elected senator in the February 25 polls. The court, in its ruling, upturned the ruling of the National Assembly election petition tribunal, which earlier upheld Nwokocha’s victory. Also, the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has dismissed the appeal brought by Anthony Agbazuere, a candidate of PDP, against LP’s House of Representatives member, Ginger Onwusibe. The court upheld Onwusibe’s victory in the February 25 National Assembly poll and also agreed with the ruling of the tribunal, which had said that Agbazuere’s case lacked merit. It, therefore, affirmed Onwusibe’s victory as the duly elected member for the Isiala Ngwa North/Isiala Ngwa South federal constituency.

EDITOR:  Newcomers tell of reasons they have left an area.  Maryland- overtaxed.  Florida -over grown. California -crazy and electricity outages.  Wisconsin -too cold.   Atlanta -loss of community, overcrowded, horrible traffic and uncontrolled development.    Drought and population growth  are causing less pull from the Colorado river, leaving limited water supplies to cities.   Many people, planners, and elected officials seem so eager to put our beautiful county in to this same situation.    We and newcomers can help prevent this happening to our county and state.  We can be active at the voting polls to elect members who will help protect our way of life, our farm land,  and begin legislation to limit development and sprawl.  LRM

Jottings from Jeannie:    When a Family Fails   Significant events  like births, deaths, and marriages can set up the conditions for drama, trauma and for a family to fail.  Julie's June wedding looms ahead, but she dreads it like getting a root canal. Her Mother threatens to walk out if Julie's dad gives the bride away.  Wouldn't you think this family could be loving  for 30 minutes during a wedding?   I'm sure you have heard of other examples.  Sam's family wondered why the cousins from Atlanta weren't at Grandma's funeral.  Truth to tell, they were at her house loading the family antiques into their trucks! (Yup , I was there. It happened in Greer!)   SO--what can you do if you ended up in a family that fails you?   1) Accept and acknowledge the hurt.  2) Talk about it with a close friend or pastor.  3)  Distance yourself from situations dealing with families that fail. It won't help to complain to them. 4) Should you learn of someone devastated by a failing family, share your story with her so she will learn that  YOU   emerged on the other side of a dealing with a family that failed you.   Miz Jeannie loves you!  Hey! The Lightening Bugs are Back!

                                         CONSERVATION CORNER                               Century Farmers Honored:  Thank God for farmers and families who have kept their farms for over 100 years.  Century farms  from all across SC were honored at the SC Agriculture Museum, located in Pendleton, on Saturday, June 1.  There are at least 246 listed presently.  But there are more. SC is rich in agriculture.  Support your farmers.  Buy local.   Protect your land and your farms by land trusts or easements. SC farmlands need protection now.  We are losing farm land  state wide daily to development.  Protection of property helps ensure the potential for agriculture.  Once paved with asphalt or concrete that potential is lost forever.                                                                                                                                                         HEALTH CORNER                                                                                                                                                                                   A Conversation:  I met an 80 year old farmer from Darlington, SC who did not look his age. I learned a lot but mostly that he did not farm his entire life.  He retired from working with machinery.   He was eager to share his healthy habits, especially since he had recovered from a stroke.  One day his daughter noticed his face drooped and he walked sideways.  He was diagnosed with a stroke and accepted the full risk of death to reverse the stroke with the “clot busting’ medication. He returned to full function.  He shared that his Neurologist said “I bet you took the booster” which indeed he had.  He said he would not take another one. *** I am not advocating  any advice, only sharing a conversation.  I like to provoke thought in each of us.  I encourage research to make your own decisions.

ASHTON RECALLS:  Here's some more of Pauline Kelley Cannon's story:  DAR STUDENT FROM 1942-46 RECALLS EXPERIENCES - (Eleventh Installment of Pauline Kelley Cannon's Memoir). . .I will always believe the Lord used this to bring Ernest and me together. God works in mysterious ways, and it's hard to see what He is doing in our lives until later on. . .When we arrived back at Tamassee, Ernest asked me if he could carry my books, and of course I said yes. From then on he would carry my books to the steps of the South Carolina Building, give me a little hug, and then continue on to his dormitory. He could not take my books to my room because the boys were not allowed in the girls' dormitories. We would see each other again at the evening meal. . .WHEN THE DUPREES wanted to go into town they would bring their two children, Bobby and Peggy, for me to babysit. Peggy was no trouble but Bobby had to be constantly entertained. We would play games for a while and then he would want me to tell him stories. I would tell him about Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the Three Bears, and the Three Little Pigs. But he always wanted to hear more stories, and he would not let me tell him the same one twice. When I had told him all the stories I knew, I decided to tell him a ghost story, and, my, what a mistake that was! He started screaming and crying, and I thought I'd never get him to hush. I never tried that anymore.--TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK

Only about 48% of drivers in the UK wear winter tyres when driving throughout the winter. It's shocking to see such a low population given the often hard winters. The same poll reveals that 51% of individuals think of all-season tyres. and Winter Tyres Darlington are adequate for driving in the winter. and are unlikely to make any modifications to the cars to accommodate the colder weather.

The All Progressives Congress Campaign Coordinator in Ahoada-West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chisom Lennard, has been found d€ad hours after he was abducted.   According to PUNCH, Lennard was kidnapped by the gunmen dressed in police uniform while voting for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections was ongoing at Ibagwa polling unit 2 ward 10 in Ahoada West LGA.   It was gathered that the APC chieftain tried to stop the gunmen from snatching election materials when he was whisked away in a commando fashion. Late Lennard’s body was riddled with bullets in a pool of his blood along the Ibueahi-Ubeta road in Ahoada+West LGA of the state on Saturday evening.  The deceased was an estate surveyor and a former board member of the Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority during the tenure of Rotimi Amaechi.   The State APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, confirmed the sad development to the Punch.    “He was abducted from his polling unit during the voting process and taken away. Nobody knew where they took him to. It was later in the evening of Saturday that his body was discovered.” he said #apc #riversstate #chisomlennard #mycelebrityandi https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp98bcpoBGY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Guber Poll: Gunmen abduct APC LG secretary in Rivers

Barely 48 hours to the March 18 Governorship and House of Assembly elections, gunmen in camouflage have abducted Amadi Osaronu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and party secretary in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. DAILY POST gathered that Osaronu was abducted by men dressed in police uniforms from his Aluu community, Ikwerre LGA residence on Wednesday. The State APC Publicity Secretary, Darlington Nwauju, confirmed the incident on Thursday morning. “No amount of force, intimidation, and arm-twisting will change the outcome of the March 18 Governorship and House of Assembly elections, which would be a resounding defeat for the Peoples Democratic Party,” he said.

La svolta a destra del Wisconsin

Provo un affetto particolare verso lo stato del Wisconsin. Ho avuto il piacere di visitarlo nel 2011, per uno scambio culturale durante le scuole superiori. Sono stato ospite di una famiglia nelle campagne di Mazomanie, una cittadina di sì e no 1200 abitanti. Qui la vita è molto diversa dalle spiagge della California e dall’Upper East Side di Manhattan che siamo abituati a vedere in TV.

Come prove dello stereotipo americano, ecco il pullman giallo della scuola e la lezione su come sparare con un fucile (2011)

La notte del 4 novembre 2016, Donald Trump vince le elezioni in Wisconsin, guadagnandone i 10 Grandi Elettori. Per la prima volta dal 1984, il Wisconsin ha votato per un Presidente repubblicano. Vediamo perché.

Il Wisconsin è uno stato grande la metà dell'Italia, con soltanto 6 milioni di abitanti. La città più grande dello Stato, Milwaukee, conta 600 mila abitanti, grande circa quindi come Genova. È coperto per quasi metà da foreste. Città e villaggi sono, in media, sparpagliati e di piccole/medie dimensioni.

L'economia del Wisconsin è basata in larga parte su agricoltura e industria manifatturiera. Lo stato è molto famoso per la sua produzione di formaggi e latticini, e si classifica tra i primi dieci stati americani per reddito agricolo. L'industria manifatturiera genera circa il 20% del PIL, uno dei dati più alti negli Stati Uniti; la produzione, generalmente, è di macchinari agricoli e macchine pesanti. A differenza di altri stati, l'economia è qui più basata su industrie medio/piccole; sono soltanto due le grandi aziende che spiccano a livello internazionale, la Manpower e la Harley-Davidson.

Fattorie e campagne intorno a Mazomanie, WI (2011)

Il Wisconsin, insomma, è uno stato con una grossa percentuale di comunità rurali, di agricoltori e di operai; è uno stato mediamente ricco e con un PIL nella media. E come tutte le cose troppo "medie", è facile ignorarlo.

Durante le lezioni del 2016, infatti, il Wisconsin ha dato per la prima volta in più di 30 anni i suoi 10 Elettori al candidato repubblicano, Donald Trump. L'ultima volta che aveva vinto la destra, nello stato, erano state le elezioni del 1984 con Ronald Reagan. Questo perché, tradizionalmente, il Wisconsin ha sempre votato a sinistra nelle elezioni presidenziali: veniva infatti considerato parte del blue wall, l'insieme di stati dove, indipendentemente dalle circostanze, i democratici avrebbero sempre vinto. E così non è stato.

Mazomanie, WI

La sconfitta in Wisconsin non è stata l'unica causa del fallimento della campagna presidenziale di Hillary Clinton, ma è stata sicuramente una delle docce fredde peggiori per la ex First Lady. Fino al giorno prima delle elezioni i sondaggi la davano in testa dell’8%. Il voto ha però portato con sé numeri ben diversi: con appena 28mila voti (lo 0,8%) in più della sua rivale, Donald Trump ha vinto. E i democratici sono rimasti a leccarsi le ferite.

Il successo di Trump nello stato è centro di forti dibattiti, e ci sono svariate teorie a riguardo, ma due sono stati gli elementi che, più degli altri, lo hanno portato a vincere: la disillusione dei blue-collar workers (lavoratori, operai e agricoltori) verso la classe politica, e il disinteresse del Partito Democratico nei confronti del Wisconsin.

Molti blue-collar workers, infatti, si sentivano ingiustamente lasciati indietro da un sistema che non si curava di loro. Non vedevano grandi prospettive di futuro nel loro lavoro, in larga parte agricolo o industriale. La ripresa economica li aveva ignorati, le loro condizioni di vita non erano migliorate, gli stipendi non si erano alzati.

E nonostante molti di loro avessero votato principalmente a sinistra prima di allora, faticavano a riconoscersi nel Partito Democratico. Hillary Clinton era una candidata estremamente impopolare, una politica di professione percepita lontana dai problemi quotidiani degli americani qualunque.

Agli occhi di un operaio bianco, il sistema si stava facendo beffa di lui. Le politiche identitarie della sinistra, che combattevano per maggiori diritti alle donne e alle minoranze nere e latine, avevano iniziato ad additare i bianchi come privilegiati.

E né l'operaio di Darlington né l'agricoltore di Black Earth si sentivano rappresentati, o, tanto meno, privilegiati.

La Clinton inoltre non ha visitato lo stato del Wisconsin nemmeno una volta durante la sua campagna elettorale. Donald Trump, d'altro canto, ha visitato lo stato 6 volte.

Capitol Hill e University of Wisconsin’s Red Gym nella capitale Madison, WI (2011)

Nei suoi comizi, il candidato repubblicano aveva promesso un aumento dei posti di lavoro nell'industria manifatturiera, un miglioramento dei salari e migliori prospettive per il futuro. E mentre il silenzio dei democratici si faceva assordante, Trump prometteva alle folle disilluse un futuro migliore.

Così, dopo una vita passata a votare il Partito Democratico, il Wisconsin ha voltato a destra. Senza nemmeno crederci troppo, e con una certa disperazione. Ma quei 10 Grandi Elettori andati al Partito Repubblicano sono stati uno degli schiaffi più sonori di una campagna elettorale destinata a fallire.

La stessa Clinton ha dichiarato, nel suo libro What Happened :

"... If there's one place where we were caught by surprise, it was Wisconsin. Polls showed us comfortably ahead, right up until the end."

Con le elezioni del 2020 alle porte, i due candidati alla presidenza, Donald Trump e Joe Biden, hanno fatto tesoro degli errori passati, ed entrambi hanno rivolto un'attenzione sempre crescente agli operai e agli agricoltori del Midwest.

Da questa storia, c'è una lezione da imparare: nessun candidato può pensare di vincere se non parla ai lavoratori.

2020 was the year Boris Johnson threw away public trust | James Johnson | Opinion

Join Hafta-Ichi to Research the article “2020 was the year Boris Johnson threw away public trust | James Johnson | Opinion” In the spring of this year, Boris Johnson was World King. A Morning Consult poll in April found that he was the most popular leader in the western world. In January, at a focus group I ran in Darlington, first-time Conservative voters described him as “strong”, “decisive”…

To the student finance anon: Me and my friend both changed our names with student finance recently. When you ring up they basically give you an address and ask that you send proof i.e deed poll and a small cover letter (a sentence or two) just to say who you are and what you'd like them to do i.e change your name. The address is: Student Finance England, PO Box 210, Darlington, DL1 9HJ. Feel free to skip the awkward phone call :)

Thanks for sharing!
