#Risk Mamagement

[intlforestday]

Forests do more for the climate than store and sequester carbon.

For example, they:

regulate rainfall

provide cooling benefits

protect coastal areas

provide forest products for local communities facing climatic threats

omg okay i saw ur requests are open so… how would bl boys react if their spouse got pregnant? can u make it angsty if you can plz😝 i like hurting myself

• MINORS DNI • MINORS DNI • MINORS DNI •

oh this plot fits our career driven boys soooo much (reo’s is his gf since I didn’t notice the spouse part from the request while I was writing his part)

Content warnings: angst, talks of pregnancy and abortion, a bit ooc bc these boys are toxic here, characters are aged up! Not proof read

Mikage Reo

Standing in front of reo had never felt as anxiety inducing as it did right now. He was your safe space, someone you’d run to whenever you felt uneasy and for the most part, he never failed to give you the comfort you needed. He was gentle, patient, and reassuring. That was… until you handed him a positive pregnancy test. As shaken as you were, reo’s world was also spiraling as he stared at the two pink lines shown on the test. Positive. He got you pregnant and right as he was at his prime as a new football player.

“No” was all he mamaged to say. “No? Reo you- you can’t just say no” you were sobbing, thinking of how you’d have to stop your studies and how you were going to have tell your parents. “I just… yn I can’t handle a baby right now. And my parents. Fuck, my parents are-“ his hands in his hair, tugging lightly in frustration. You wanted to get mad at him and scream and push him but all you could manage to do was look at him in shock. How is he the same person who cuddled you every night and bought your flowers just because. The same person who had you in his future plans and promised to marry you as soon as you both had stable careers. Amidst reo’s sweet reputation in your heart and mind, you often forgot that he was also as career driven as he was in love. Reo had already disappointed his parents once when he chose to play sports instead of working at their family’s company. Now he’s made it to a place where they can at least commend him for his choice. He can’t risk another disappointment. His parents didn’t even know he had a girlfriend.

Finding out you were pregnant, your initial response was fear which later changed to calmness because you were so sure of reo. You were so sure that he wouldn’t leave you hanging. Maybe you shouldn’t have been so hopeful after all.

Itoshi Rin

Your relationship with rin isn’t what people think it is. Sure you were married. Sure lots of his fans adored you as well. But behind the scenes, the marriage was arranged by his parents. That said, rin was never hostile. The relationship was civil, it was peaceful even. He did his thing and you did yours.

Later on in the marriage, you both decided that since you guys were married anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to add a couple more benefits along with having each other’s (quiet and to some extent, comfortable) company. Sleeping together became a regular occurrence and without meaning to, that led to you getting pregnant, something which rin had never planned on and something he definitely won’t be happy about. You weren’t happy about it either. Not when you didn’t exactly have a healthy family to give the baby to be. Acting fast, you scrambled to your laptop to schedule yourself for an appointment to get a check up and most probably to get rid of the pregnancy. Unfortunately, in panic, you left your pregnancy test on the bathroom counter. Something that rin was welcomed with once he got home. It didn’t help that you left your laptop in the bedroom for him to see your scheduled appointments as well.

Thinking you could get by without letting rin know, you decided to act normal upon seeing him enter the kitchen. You were preparing dinner when he walked in. After smiling at him and greeting him to acknowledge his presence, you went back to dinner prep. This confused rin. Were you not going to tell him? Was the test maybe not yours? Were you fucking with him? “Really yn? Don’t you have anything to say?” “hm? what do you mean, rin? Did you want something else for dinner?” He annoyingly nodded “you’re pregnant?” This made you freeze, dropping the knife on the floor, barely missing your foot. For a second, a flash of concern hit rin’s eyes but that might as well have been your imagination. “It’s a yes then” you gave a barely there nod. “Rin I was going to tell you. I also just found out I’m sorry” he nodded again “You were going to tell me? Sure. Not like you already had an appointment with the clinic, no?” Your face lost all its color. You weren’t even sure why he was acting so annoyed. Every time your parents or his parents nudged you two to give them grandchildren, rin would always act annoyed and irritable the moment you get home. He also repeatedly expressed his refusal to have children, especially not when his career was booming. Having a wife was one thing but a child? Entirely different. He didn’t have to invest so much when it came to you. He just has to be respectful, be someone to satisfy your needs sometimes, maybe even go on a few dates here and there. Easy. But he wasn’t a monster so having a child would take up so much of his time, something he couldn’t afford to give. Was what he always said. So why was he so mad at your for just taking one step ahead? “I thought you didn’t want to have a baby, why are you mad?” You semi-shouted. “Maybe I didn’t but you can’t just decide to get rid of it on your own. That’s messed up” “okay but stop raising your voice rin, you’re scaring me. You always tell me you don’t want a baby with me so I just assumed” “Know what? Considering you seem to want to get rid of it so quick, then yeah sure, I don’t want that baby. You have my card, use it for the hospital bill or call me if you need me to be there. You probably won’t though, right?”

a/n: I suck at writing angst but here’s an attempt o(TヘTo)

[eerna]

i’ve been back on my hadestown bullshit (listening to the album on repeat) and you make such good points about the lyrics being dumbed down and how it does a disservice to the narrative and characters. it’s such an artful, creative show that constantly adapts and changes so why not take some risks with lyrics that may take a few times to sink in? that’s the beauty of listening to it through many times. i catch something new that just punches me in the gut each time (also love your hadestown art it’s so good)

Thank youuu glad you like my stuff :3 Yeah!! I think ultimately it comes down to two things, confidence and Broadway requirements. Anais Mitchell isn't hiding how much she struggled writing the show and balancing between artsy, well crafted, and understandable. She also stated many things have been cut because the show was too long for Broadway and they were required to trim it. To both I say, HUH?? First off, Anais Mitchell honed her craft to perfection. No other musical ever managed to drive me to tears with moodsetting "oohs". She wrote a godly love song that sounds like a godly love song. She deserves all the confidence in the WORLD. But she also never hid that Hadestown is a very personal story influenced by her experience as a free artist, so on the other hand, I totally get that no amount of success can ever truly heal your inner critic, and she will always keep trying to adjust her work. As for the second point, I know at least some of the dumbing down is because the audiences complained. I saw Hadestown live 5 years after seeing a bootleg of it, and in those 5 years they added so many cheap jokes and dishonest tension breaks it is Crazy. But I DID notice in older bootlegs that people laughed at inappropriate times, they seemed like they expected something funny to be happening in every scene because they went to a musical and so picked some really weird spots, which doesn't happen in any of the recordings of the new jokey edition. So in dumbing itself down, the musical mamaged to become more understandable to the audience at large. In fact, even after all the changes, at the theater I overheard people talking in the pause, and they agreed the show is "too confusing" and "they can't tell what exactly is happening and if it is real or not". I can imagine that is a frustrating experience when you paid a good chunk of money to see a show, but also bro, google is Right There. Most people just don't have the will to sit down and listen to a pretty piece of media multiple times to figure it out! And sadly shows can't survive only on those who do! To bring this long ramble to a close, we are right back to art existing under capitalism and how one can't simply make GOOD art, they need to make PROFITABLE art, and that is pretty sucky

[mylifeforchloe]

This a little abnormal for my blog as far as the kinds of posts I make, but I feel like this kind of a Public Service Announcement (PSA) is necessary for the fandom. Things like this make me really concerned-- not only for the LIS3:DE (new Max story) story that is going to be told, but also for the quality of working environment for those who work at Deck Nine.

Quotes from the linked article that bothered me...

[Edit: Original post was a link post with text after. I saw the link in the edit screen and scheduled the post. For some reason this caused the link to get removed when the article was actually posted. Editing to put the link in the original article. I also posted a follow up (before editing the original) to include the same info. Editing original for completeness only.]

Nazi imagery would be inappropriate in most games, but in a Life Is Strange title the dissonance was especially frightening.

...

According to over a dozen current and former employees across several departments, most of whom spoke to me on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal, Deck Nine’s management has long let a toxic work culture fester at the studio. They claim the C-suite has protected multiple abusive leaders, encouraged crunch, and allowed bullying of individuals advocating internally for more authentic representation in Life Is Strange.

...

When they saw this version of the [True Colors] scene, a number of people pushed back, arguing that the scene would unintentionally trigger associations with date rape.

...

“It took a three hour meeting in the writers room and one of the writers sharing an extremely personal story to get Zak to agree to get the content out,” said Littleton. “It wasn’t about us not wanting to have difficult topics in there, but Life Is Strange shines because that type of content is chosen extremely deliberately and it’s given runway, it’s given space to breathe. This detail is irrelevant to the plot, it would have been traumatic for players, and there was no space to unpack it. We don’t have time to talk about what it means for Alex to be roofied by a man she trusted.”

fuuu...

Another anonymous source recalled Garriss suggesting that this pushback was only occurring because he was making a game about a woman, and that he wouldn’t have to deal with this if he was making a game about Nathan Drake.

fuuuuu...

[After Garriss' quit voluntarily] Once news got out [that Deck Nine mamagement wanted to re-hire Garriss], the narrative team erupted. Multiple people begged management not to bring back Garriss in a series of meetings, messages, and emails. One person familiar with leadership at the company recalls HR stepping in, noting that management was actively underpaying a number of workers, especially women, while considering a massive salary for Garriss. HR allegedly suggested that Deck Nine could be legally liable for Garriss’ behavior if they invited him back after the bevy of reports. When the company CEO and CFO persisted in arguing that they needed Garriss, multiple writers handed in resignations.

fuuuuuuuuu...

And given that what we've seen in the teaser videos are either

Missing any reference to Chloe

Including a minimalist reference (like a photo on the wall)

Including an awkward reference (Safi? asking Max about the blue haired girl in the picture Max keeps.)

And given that

3a - Either Bay ending, Max keeps a photo of Chloe from before the storm, or

3b - Max keeps a photo of Chloe, but Chloe isn't in her life (possibly not in her life any longer.)

And given that

Costs of developing a story where Chloe is present in only half of the story (the Bae ending version) and the ripple effect that might have on the plot...

I simply do not believe that Chloe will be a meaningful component. And the choices Max is making across dimensions, and the risk of not getting back to Chloe if she were still alive and still part of Max's life... the plot shown doesn't make any sense to me.

So I wasn't going to buy LIS3 to begin with, not without a proper story that included Chloe's presence in Max's present life. And now, after this article, I'm even less likely to buy [anything from D9, ever again,] knowing the cultural depravity of the development studio.

I would, of course, love to be wrong on all counts.

Kevin Cage of @spotlightsaga reviews... Billions (S02E01) Risk Management Airdate: February 19, 2017 @showtimeallaccess Ratings: 0.753 Million :: 0.20 18-49 Demo Share Score: 8/10 **********SPOILERS BELOW********** The closing track of Billions always fits the mood just right... Harry Nilsonn's 'Jump Into The Fire' is perfection and immediately makes me think of Ray Liotta and Goodfellas... Ray Liotta has been on my mind lately considering NBC's 'Shades Of Blue' just started its S2. The story of SOB is normally very scatterbrained and unfocused, but Ray Liotta is the definition of intensity... Which I circle back around to 'Billions', because even during S1 when I was trying to grasp a real understanding of this world I was so unfamiliar with, the fervent energy and sheer fiery, ardent disdain Axe and Chuck had for one another filled in the blanks and told the story, when the writers couldn't. I'm still a little sore we never got to see how Axe's methods could hurt others, but there's always S2. Right now, turning Axe a bit on the heel side could very much be on the table, especially considering Rhodes is close to imploding and it's being suggested that Bryan is some sort of traitor or mole assisting in pushing Rhodes out, either to take his chair or quietly slip into Axelrod's squadron. I don't know what it is about Bryan, he had a bit of a self-righteous vibe in S1, Mr. Do The Right Thing, but his face and demeanor scream snake to me... He's all a little to innocent for me, and we are all yin and yang, flawed but true in one way or another. Axe is always, ALWAYS one step ahead of the game. I'll be damned if that huge million dollar payout to Wendy on that very day wasn't calculated by Rhodes... It was most likely a 'two birds, one stone' situation. With Rhodes now being the one prosecuted, the hunted, the script has most definitely been flipped in S2... And the balance between the two men may have shifted and tilted even more in the favor the usual champ, Axe. Rhodes said at the end of S1, he's now a man with nothing to lose, which makes him even more dangerous... Only there is still something to lose, his job... But more importantly... His power, because it's never been about the money for Rhodes or he would've stepped out a long time ago.

-Over?-

Hello everyone! I returned from the war! (XD) Actually the vast majority of my exams are over. I showed you some of my progress with Digital Representations which ended up having a sibling theme. Both of them actually covered the biggest part of the material that happened to show up in the exam thankfully. Revit refused to cooperate so I did it a bit last minute and rendering is a very high risk high reward process and I happened to be on the high risk end. Oh well, eventually, the project was done with very few hours of sleep. The test itself was a stroke: questions given not all together at certain intervals with the minimum amount of time to answer. Fortunately, the internet helped with it since I had an idea what to look up. I slept a bit more that day. My friends organised a surprise for our friend's birthday that night which went swimmingly. Then, I don't know why but I could not find the motivation or myself in the mood to study physics. I wasted half of the day but I mamaged to make some notes of important things and to skim through everything till this noon. The test was unnerving. Physics especially is not to be tested orally. I was riddled with anxiety, the professor didn't really give us time to think, but everything went well at the end. So, I took the rest of the day off and tomorrow, I'm starting over with composition. Relief is the main feeling of the day.

New characters?? Yes...Yes I think I will

Gabe(Gabriella)

24(June 18th)

5'4"

Shoulder length auburn dyed hair(originally blond), Golden brown eyes, light freckles across cheeks, ring lip piercing, wears glasses(contacts on special occasions), comfy clothes only~leggings and soft t-shirts~

*hates showing to much skin

Gabe is a genderfluid asexual werewolf that has deemed pack life to much thus does not associate with any pack within the radius of town and the woods(close to 30 miles). Working, living on their own and handling the world as best as possible given that without a pack...Gabe left herself to deal with many wolf ordeals alone.

    When shifted, Gabe's wolf form is a warm caramel with shading mixed delicately of the dyed auburn she had done herself. Golden brown eyes become strictly gold.

    Gabe is stubborn, set in her ways only thanks to a fear of change. She often refuses help of any kind but the moment someone needs assistance she's the first to jump in and help in anyway she can.

~loves all kinds of music, mainly rock

~nests, blankets and pillows on her bed for dayyyys

~often found with headphones in so not to be spoken too

~favorite colors are burgundy + royal blue

Ashton

25(December 4th)

5'7

Black hair cut in a fade;top part slightly longer then normal fades, light brown eyes, scar over left eyebrow, beauty marks side by side on throat, nose piercing, ears pierced and industrial on right ear. Enjoyer of skinny jeans and soft t-shirts, boots all the time, leather jacket in the winter, wears a ring his grandfather gave him on right thumb.

*hates swimming but loves long baths

Ashton is the pack leader of the west domain pack and the first trans man in any pack history. He was kicked out of his original pack where his family still resides for beating the alphas right hand man in combat when he was only 21. They had deemed him, *unacceptable* for a years years by then. The words stung of course but he found joy in knowing he was stronger then one of the top-members, even risks it to visit his parents too close to the pack land still as often as he can mamage. The pack Ashton created from the ground up is of other wolves banished or simply packless for other reasons. They are all very loyal to him and support his ways.

    Ashton's wolf form is as black as his hair, eyes as bright as the ocean, though still slender Ashton packed on enough muscle to hold the alpha title even in wolf form.

    Ashton is generally laid back but with a title comes responsibility and can shift attitudes when needed. Loves to tease and annoy the others if the chance ever raises.

~started hormone therapy when 15/top surgery when 21

~loves playing with kids

~mega fall out boy fan

~favorite colors are any shade of purple + greens

~The pair are moonlight mates, this meaning that unlike normal mates who find themselves on a normal day to day basis: Ashton and Gabe seem to form a connection through random run ins with the final connection forming on a full moon night. This is because as each random passing accures their wolves slowly yet naturally pull to each other in yearning which starts their time together officially.

An increase in wage from the mamager’s perspective Kazuta Ogura

During 2002 to 2013, an increase in wage has been moderate. He points out that this is because managers did not want to raise wage uniformly. In Japan, wage structure was determined by seniority for a long time. After experiencing recessions, managers wanted to introduce performance based evaluation system. Thus, they hesitated to accept raise wage scale.

Besides, he claims that a change in corporate finance also has contributed to suppress wage growth. After 1990s, firms in Japan were bought by foreign capitals, then it makes harder for managers to allow wage to increase uniformly. What stock holders want is higher profit. Managers were not willing to cut profit to respond expectations from stock holders.

Finally, the globalization of economy is one of the reasons as well. In this he globalized economy, the number of risk factors surged. This raised uncertainty for managers. Under the great amount of uncertainty, it is hard for managers to raise wage uniformly.
