Lotte Becker

[hexpea]

In this reimagination of Attack on Titan, (OC) Lotte Becker has set a goal to build a better future for Marleyans and Eldians alike while eliminating the titan "problem." She pairs up with the Marleyan Warriors in hopes of making this dream come true, however, different stances on the subject of paying for past sins make the solution difficult. Lotte will need to convince the warriors that her ideas will ultimately not only build a better Marley but build a better Earth without the curse of Ymir, and that ancestral wrongdoings can be dealt with in an appropriate manner. Working particularly close with Zeke Yeager, the Beast Titan, their relationship blooms into something beautiful, but will Lotte be able to convince Zeke on a better solution than sterilization of the Eldian people, changing the current, doomed track of events?

ARTS & CRAFTS Market @ The palace / Mariakerke Gent

“Ooit was ik in Parijs in een huis, waarbij je door een kleine hoedenwinkel, langs smalle draaitrappen en eindeloze gangen in kamers kwam vol mooie spullen. In de badkamer toonde een kennis zijn handtassen gemaakt uit oude leren jassen, ze hingen aan de douchegordijnrails. Die sfeer is mij altijd bijgebleven, omdat je met zo’n manier van presenteren heel dicht komt bij de maker. En je daarmee zegt dat je werk, je leven is. Het gaat mee in de douche, het is geen 9 to 5 job.”

Un secolo e mezzo è trascorso dalla pubblicazione, nel 1867, del I Libro del Capitale di Karl Marx, l'opera che, insieme al Manifesto del Partito Comunista del 1848, ha rappresentato una pietra miliare nella storia del movimento comunista e operaio di ogni paese del mondo.  Lo ricordiamo con passione rivoluzionaria agli operai e a tutti i lavoratori.  E crediamo che la cosa più efficace, in questo nostro ricordo, sia far parlare subito Marx in prima persona.  Egli era ben consapevole non solo del valore scientifico della propria opera, ma anche dell'importanza enorme che essa avrebbe avuto politicamente, per la lotta che la classe operaia stava conducendo in tutta Europa e negli Stati Uniti d'America contro il capitale.  “E' sicuramente il più terribile proiettile che sia mai stato scagliato in testa ai borghesi (compresi i proprietari terrieri)”, scriveva con orgoglio Marx all'operaio tedesco Johann Becker il 17 aprile 1867, parlandogli del libro a cui stava lavorando.  E sono ben note le terribili condizioni di salute e di miseria personale e familiare in cui egli portò avanti il suo lavoro a Londra in quei drammatici decenni dopo la sconfitta della rivoluzione europea del Quarantotto.  “Durante questo periodo - scriveva il 30 aprile 1867 Marx al socialista tedesco Siegfried Meyer - sono stato sull'orlo della fossa. Dovevo quindi utilizzare ogni istante in cui mi era possibile lavorare per portare a termine la mia opera, alla quale ho sacrificato salute, fortuna e famiglia. Io me ne infischio degli uomini cosiddetti “pratici” e della loro saggezza. Se uno volesse comportarsi come un bue, potrebbe naturalmente volgere le spalle alle pene dell'umanità e preoccuparsi solo della propria pelle”.  Un punto fondamentale vogliamo immediatamente sottolineare: l'intreccio indissolubile, in Marx, fra il suo lavoro teorico e la sua pratica rivoluzionaria di dirigente del movimento operaio del suo tempo.  Gli anni di preparazione del I libro del Capitale sono gli anni del contributo decisivo di Marx alla fondazione dell'Associazione Internazionale degli Operai (la Prima Internazionale), della quale egli redige l'Indirizzo Inaugurale, i primi Statuti provvisori, il Programma della prima Conferenza, le Istruzioni per i delegati del Congresso di Ginevra.  Era ormai superata la stasi delle lotte operaie succeduta al 1850, il movimento era in ripresa ovunque. Ciò che Marx soprattutto desiderava era che il Capitale uscisse proprio negli anni in cui l'Europa e l'America erano scosse dalla gravissima crisi economica che ebbe il suo culmine negli anni '60 del XIX secolo.  Il Capitale è, come le Teorie sul plusvalore e gli altri lavori economici di Marx, un'opera di continua demistificazione di tutti gli errori, le illusioni e le interessate menzogne dell'economia politica borghese, “scienza” apologetica di un sistema economico irrazionale, anarchico e distruttore di ricchezze umane e naturali qual è il modo di produzione capitalistico.  Karl Marx ha scoperto la legge del plusvalore creato dal lavoro non retribuito l’operaio salariato, che è la legge economica fondamentale del capitalismo. Ha messo in luce le leggi immanenti che porteranno alla fine il capitalismo, che da circa un secolo è giunto nel suo ultimo stadio.  Questo modo di produzione storicamente determinato ha sviluppato in enormi proporzioni le forze produttive e impresso loro un carattere sempre più sociale, acuendo così tutte le sue contraddizioni inconciliabili, che si manifestano nelle devastanti crisi cicliche di sovrapproduzione, come quella che abbiamo visto scoppiare nel 2007, di cui ancora subiamo le conseguenze.  Contraddizioni che possono essere superate solo con il passaggio a una nuova economia e una nuova società, basta sulla proprietà sociale dei mezzi di produzione: la società socialista e comunista, che la classe operaia ha il compito storico di costruire dopo aver ridotto in frantumi con la sua rivoluzione la vecchia macchina statale della borghesia.  Allo studio, alla lotta! E' questo l'appello che rivolgiamo a tutti gli operai, a tutti i comunisti, affinché – sotto la direzione politica di un unico Partito comunista del proletariato – diventi presto realtà anche nel nostro paese l'obiettivo rivoluzionario al quale Marx dedicò tutta la sua vita.

New Post on Gunner's Alley Blog

Concealed Carry on Campus

Here’s a very interesting and well written (at least IMHO) article about the pros of CCW on college campuses, and includes some details about specific colleges and universities who have existing pro-CCW laws on campus already. Disclaimer: I re-published the article in it’s entirety, but I have not had the chance to validate all the legal data included so take care using any of this information as a basis or suggestion to carry concealed on any of the referenced college or university campuses. As the data has been completely verified, I cannot say with absolute certainly that any of the CCW laws or statutes references below are still in effect and valid.

Concealed Carry on Campus Is More Common, and Useful, Than You Thought

“Recent tragedies have put a spotlight on the issue of firearms in schools, particularly whether there should be more or fewer armed personnel protecting students in the classroom. What many do not realize is that students and teachers at some colleges and universities have for years been able to arm themselves on school property.

Which States Allow Guns On Campus, Under What Circumstances

Several states have statutes that explicitly protect the right of licensed individuals to carry concealed firearms at public colleges and universities:

Utah —In 2007, Utah became the first state to explicitly allow concealed weapons permit holders to carry firearms on public college campuses.

Colorado —The Concealed Carry Act of 2003 clarified the state’s concealed carry permit process and established statewide uniform standards establishing carrying restrictions. Then, in 2012, the Colorado Supreme Court determined the University of Colorado system could not prohibit concealed carry permit holders from carrying on campus.

Mississippi —In 2011, the state passed a law prohibiting public universities from enforcing firearms bans on persons with “training-endorsed” firearms permits.

Kansas —In 2013, the state passed a law that allowed for the carrying of concealed handguns on the state’s public university campuses and in university buildings, beginning July 1, 2017.

Idaho —In 2014, Idaho Gov. Butch Otter signed into law a bill that allows enhanced concealed carry permit holders to carry concealed firearms on public university campuses.

Texas —As of 2016, all state four-year colleges and universities must permit individuals with concealed handgun licenses to carry loaded, concealed firearms on campus. This statute took effect for all state two-year and junior colleges in 2017.

Tennessee —As of 2016, full-time employees of state public colleges and universities with concealed carry permits may be armed on campus. Students are still prohibited from carrying firearms on campus.

Arkansas —As of Sept. 1, 2017, individuals 21 or older with concealed carry permits may apply for an enhanced permit to carry on college campuses.

Georgia —In 2017, the state passed a law permitting any person with a valid weapons license to carry concealed firearms on the grounds of public college and university campuses.

Most colleges and universities in states that protect the right to carry concealed weapons on campus have policies prohibiting firearms from being carried in certain sensitive areas and buildings. For example, the University of Georgia prohibits the concealed carrying of firearms at athletic events, in Greek or university housing, or within “disciplinary action locations.” Similarly, the University of Texas at Austin allows faculty members to declare their offices as “gun-free zones,” and students are not permitted to keep their weapons stored in their dorm rooms.

Some Universities Refuse to Cooperate

In several more states, the law on the books is complicated by administrative rules from non-cooperative colleges and universities. In Oregon, for example, the law protects the right of individuals to carry concealed firearms on public college and university campuses, and the state’s Court of Appeals in 2011 struck down an institutional policy prohibiting the possession of firearms on campus. This has not stopped state universities and colleges from continuing to post guidelines purporting to prohibit the concealed carry of firearms on campus, even as county attorneys publicly state these policies cannot be legally enforced under state law. The state of the law in Wisconsin is even more uncertain. In 2011, Gov. Scott Walker signed Wisconsin Act 35 , which makes it lawful for persons with concealed carry licenses to be armed in public as long as they do not present themselves with criminal or malicious intent. The law created exceptions for certain public buildings but did not expressly include college or university buildings among those exceptions. But the University of Wisconsin system continues to enforce an administrative code that prohibits firearms on campus, despite the wording of Wisconsin Act 35.

Allowing Law-Abiding College Students to Defend Themselves Can Save Lives

After Colorado passed its Concealed Carry Act in 2003, the University of Colorado argued that an obscure legal loophole exempted it from the law because it did not expressly state its requirements applied to the university. Then-Attorney General Ken Salazar issued a nonbinding opinion agreeing with the university, which subsequently continued to prohibit firearms on campus because, officials argued, they “threaten the tranquility of the educational environment in an intimidating way” and “contribute in an offensive manner to an unacceptable climate of violence.” In the years following the enactment of the concealed carry law, Colorado State University—which permitted concealed firearms on campus— experienced a 60 percent drop in reported crimes. Meanwhile, the University of Colorado—which continued to prohibit students from defending themselves with firearms until a 2012 Colorado Supreme Court ruling found the prohibition unconstitutional—experienced a 35 percent increase in reported crimes. In other words, it appears that the University of Colorado created a more threatening and intimidating educational environment by banning firearms than Colorado State University did by allowing students to effectively defend themselves. This makes sense. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that firearms are much more likely to be used in a defensive manner than they are to be used for criminal activity and are used defensively somewhere between 500,000 and 3 million times per year. Not only are firearms invaluable for defense of self or others, but concealed carry permit holders as a group are statistically among the most law-abiding citizens in the nation. It is hardly surprising that, according to John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, “Not once has a permit holder in any of these states [that allow college students to carry concealed firearms] committed a crime on one of these campuses with a gun.”

Disarming Students Has Traumatic Consequences

In 2013, legislation was introduced in the Colorado Legislature that would have prohibited the concealed carry of firearms on campus, even for permit holders. Rape survivor Amanda Collins provided powerful testimony before the Senate State Affairs Committee, highlighting how a similar prohibition in Nevada had resulted in her inability to defend herself against her attacker. As a 21-year-old college student, Collins possessed a Nevada defensive handgun license, which normally would have permitted her to carry a concealed firearm. But the University of Nevada at Reno prohibited the possession of firearms on campus, regardless of whether a person had a defensive handgun license. She was raped just a few feet away from an emergency call box, in the parking garage of the campus police station, which had closed for the day. “Had I been carrying concealed, he wouldn’t have known I had my weapon,” Collins told the committee. “I know without a doubt in my mind at some point I would’ve been able to stop my attack by using my firearm.” She further demanded to know “[h]ow … rendering me defenseless protect[s] you against a violent crime?” Collins’ rapist went on to rape two more women and murder another before he was stopped—something Collins could have accomplished had the university not disarmed her. It is highly likely Collins indeed would have been able to effectively defend herself had she been permitted to carry her firearm that night.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that “self-defense can be an important crime deterrent,” and that studies evaluating the actual effects of defensive firearm use consistently find “lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.” Further, when the Census Bureau interviewed more than 2,000 people who said they had been sexually assaulted between 1992 and 2002, only 26 stated they used a weapon to resist—but not a single one of those 26 cases resulted in complete rapes, because all would-be victims reported that the confrontation ended swiftly after they deployed their firearms. Collins was a law-abiding citizen with a natural, pre-existing right to defend herself against violent attacks. The Second Amendment exists, in part, to protect her right as a law-abiding citizen to defend herself in the most effective way possible—with a firearm. Her question remains as valid today as it did in 2013: What did anyone gain from disarming her and rendering her defenseless? The answer remains: nothing.”

Article by Kyle Becker. Kyle Becker is a member of the Young Leaders Program at The Heritage Foundation. 

Having 2 children that are currently in college, I can absolutely relate both professionally and personally to the issue college students face with the restrictive CCW laws. One of my kids resides in an off-campus apartment complex that actually has a no firearms on premises rule, that is actually part of the lease (Obliviously, I’m not a fan of that “rule”, but good housing is particularly hard to come by near the college, so I made a concession in this case). That no firearms rule is well posted in and around the property making it a gun-free zone (at least, in theory). The interesting part of that equation: in the last 2 months there have been a series of robberies (both armed and via physical force) in and around the complex. The complex management responded by hiring unarmed security to patrol the premises 24/7 now. One has to wonder if that complex was targeted for criminal activity, in part, due to the obvious signage saying “no firearms allowed”?
