Amendment to pause wind turbine development rejected by Colchester council #NS

Protesters gathered outside the Municipality of Colchester offices on Queen Street on Nov. 16. Their signs read “Stop the turbines” and “Don’t destroy our forests.” Inside, council heard remarks from proponents for and against an amendment which would have seen wind turbine development halted until December 2024, when the county would’ve had their municipal planning strategy and land-use bylaw in place. When it came to a vote during the second reading, only four voted affirmatively: Marie Benoit, Laurie Sandeson, Victoria . . . https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2023/12/08/amendment-to-pause-wind-turbine-development-rejected-by-colchester-council/

HiJack AU - Rise of the Guardians Plotbunnies

(Context: Before Hiccup returns to HQ when the Guardian signal came up, he was spending time with Jack, as per usual. When the signal came up, he had to go. Jack looked disappointed, because Hiccup had just arrived a bare ten minutes ago. It was the quickest the Aide of Hope had to leave. Hiccup was in a rush to leave, since it was the first time in a long time that the urgent signal was put up to assemble all guardians at the same time, the last time was to report about what had happened to Kozmotis. In his rush, he wasn't thinking, and accidentally kissed Jack on the cheek in a parting kiss.

They were both shock.

Before Jack could collect himself to make a respond, Hiccup dashed off, all the while thinking "Shit shit shit shit shit what did I just DO?!)

More details added to the Answer (an ask from @hamish-fanfic-fangirl )already mentioned here

The Guardians love children, as they are the Guardians of Childhood. They can't, however, have children. With the exception of Kozmotis and Anastasia's relationship, as they were created together at the same time by Manny.

Manny formed Pitch to safeguard chaos energy that would strike fears in children and leave them traumatize, impeding a healthy and happy development of growing up. Anastasia was formed at the same time, because children, and to an extent people, need to live in a harmonize environment, right?

The Guardians do consider themselves, as what humans coined nowadays, as 'Found family.' Addition to that, they think if they could have kids, they would be like and be treated like their aides.

They joke about it sometimes; North fits the role of a dad, as leader of the Guardians, Thiana being like the mother, with Aster, Sandy, and Kozmotis like uncles. Sandy's the "cool" uncle with a lot of stories to tell (or show). Kozmotis is the "chill" uncle who leaves you be but offers sage wisdom whether or not you ask for them. Aster is the one who nags a lot, sometimes more than the parents but is exciting to spend time with because of all his cool tricks.

Jamie and Astrid found it awkward, but Thiana was being playful and pretending to be like a parent and giving Jamie 'the shovel talk', when Astrid and Jamie got together, as she heard a story told to her by North, from Jim.

She was sweet about it though, going on about how they should be caring of each other and how lovely it all was so Jim made a remark later that he didn't think the guardian of memories got the point of a 'Shovel talk'

Even to the aides that aren't their own, the Guardians do feel rather paternal/maternal towards them.

Dialogue

North: Sandy, thank you for coming.

Sandy descends from the plane and floats to the ground. He joins North, Bunny and Tooth as they walk through the Globe Room. Sand glyphs appear above Sandy's head communicating

Jamie: He says that he is busy and has a lot of work to do.

North: I understand, you work ‘round the clock, da, But I obviously wouldn't have called you all here unless it was serious.

North, Bunny, Tooth and Sandy reach the center of the room. Tooth does her best to shush her mini-fairies.

North: Kozmotis as the Boogeyman was here at the Pole. *points to the globe. The everyone turns to look.*

Astrid: *shocked* Sir Kozmotis? Here? After all this time...

Jamie: Jim, did you really see...

Jim: Well, I didn't but sir North had. I think, I... Wait. *frowning as he looked around in concern* Where's Dimitri?

Tooth: But... Pitch Black? Was it really him?

North: Yes! There was black sand covering the globe.

Aster: What, what...what do you mean black sand?

North: And then a shadow!                                                

Aster: Hold on, hold on, I thought you said you saw Pitch.

North: Well, ah, not exactly...

Aster: Not exactly? Can you believe this guy?

Bunny turns to Sandy, who shrugs while forming a Dreamsand question mark above his head....

Aster: Yeah, you said it, Sandy.

Bunny goes back to painting one of his Easter eggs.

North: Look, he is up to something very bad. *gropes his gut* I feel it, in my belly.

Aster: *eyes narrow* Hang on, hang on, you mean to say, you summoned me here THREE DAYS BEFORE EASTER - because of your? Mate, if I did this to you three days before Christmas-

Tooth (to her fairies): Argentina. Priority alert! A batch of bicuspids in Buenos Aires.  Weather advisory, Astrid?

Astrid: *Pauses* Fair, all of them. Snowstorm warning in Moscow.

Jamie: Maybe that's where Jack is now.

Jim: And maybe Hic too; would explain why he's running late... Now Dimitri...           

North grabs Bunny's painted egg, casually juggling it in his          hand as he walks off. Meanwhile Sandy, who is being served          eggnog by a yeti, suddenly notices something high above.         

North: Please. Bunny. Easter is not Christmas.

Aster: *sarcastic laugh* Here we go... North, I, I don't have time for           this. I've still got two million eggs to finish up.

The moon rises into view, high up in the ceiling; its rays of light begin to shine brightly through as they cascade down the walls of the globe room.

North: No matter how much you paint, is still egg!

Sandy points to the moon unsuccessfully to get the others' attention. Even Jamie is distracted with Jim and Astrid, talking about whether one of them (Jim) should go and get Dimitri. Their guardians are distracted and they didn't want to interrupt them...

Aster: Look, mate, I'm dealing with perishables. Right. You've got all year to prepare.                                                

Tooth (to her fairies): Pittsburg, boy eight, two molars. Saltwater taffy.

Sandy puts his fingers in his mouth to whistle, a silent musical note forming above his head.                                                

North (to Aster): Why are rabbits always so nervous.

Aster: And why are you always such a blowhard!                                  

Tooth (to her fairies): Ontario, sector nine: five canines, two molars, and fourteen incisors. Is that all in one house?

Sandy waves a sand flag above his head, pointing and jumping and down as the moonlight continues to fill the room.

North: Tooth! Can't you see we're trying to argue.

Tooth: *Good naturedly* Sorry, not all of us get to work one night a year. Am I right, Sandy?

Sandy tries to signal with a golden arrow, pointing toward the ceiling, but to no avail as the others continue their bickering. Sandy thinks Tooth has noticed for a split second, but then-    

Tooth (to her fairies): San Diego, sector two! Five incisors, a bicuspid and a really loose molar on stand-by.

North: I know it was him. We have serious situation!

Aster: Well, I've got a serious situation with some eggs.

Tooth: Hey, I hate to interrupt the, "We work so hard once a year club" but could we concentrate on the matter-

A silhouette comes out from a black spot of a shadow in the middle of the room, and Dimitri comes up and stumbles out from it. The aide of the former Guardian of Chaos seemed recovering from injuries. Even with his quick healing, it's taking some time...

Jim: Dimitri!

Jim rushes to help support him...

Tooth: Oh dear!

Astrid: Is he okay?

Dimitri: Sorry... The darkness is more restless than ever for some reasons. I had to defeat about a dozen minions before securing and leaving the base.

Jim: Wha- so if Pitch is really back, why hadn't he showed up here yet?

North: He did lad!

Jim: All due respect sir, you said it was a shadow.

North: Shadows are his thing!

Dimitri: I don't think that was Pitch yet, but a harbinger, maybe? If he had awoken, I think I would be the first to know.

Aster: Hah!

Sandy can't take it anymore, grabs an elf by his hat, and vigorously shakes it's bell. The other Guardians are finally silenced and all turn to look at Sandy, who points up, a sand crescent moon forming above his head. The dizzy elf staggers away. Finally the others turn to see the shaft of moonlight as it concentrates on the circle between them as Manny starts beaming down into the room...

North: Aah! Man in Moon! Sandy, why didn't you say something?

Sandy gives him a deadpan stare, Dream sand smoke shoots out his ears.                                                

North (to Man in Moon as he finally appears, with Anastasia by his side) : It's been a long time old friend! Madam Mother Nature *bows curtly*

Manny: Likewise.

Anastasia: A pleasure as always, North.

North: So... What is big news?

Manny: Before I get that, there is one thing I need to address first...

Everyone looks to the center of the room where Manny manipulates moonlight to shine down intensely, the light ebbs away, leaving a dark spot ---- which resolves into the shadowed silhouette of Pitch. The Guardians look on, stunned.                                                

Aster: It is Pitch.                                  

North pats his belly and gives Bunny a look...

North: Manny... what must we do?

Manny: The matter I mentioned needing to be addressed...

The shadow of Pitch disappears and the circle of moonlight intensifies and shrinks, concentrating further luminating an ornate symbol on the floor, at the center of their circle. The symbol rises out of the ground revealing a large gem at the head of a pillar.                                                

Tooth: Ah, guys, you know what this means?

The moons light suddenly refracts through the gem casting          light all over the chamber.                                                

North: He's choosing an aide for himself.

Aster: What?! You never needed one before, why now?

North: Must be big deal! Manny thinks we all need help!

Aster: We have our help. *Gestures to all aides present* Now if my own would show up too...                                               

Tooth: I wonder who it's gonna be?

Then a bright flash, a rush of wind- and a FIGURE resolves over the central pillar: slight, hooded, bearing a familiar  hooked staff.                                                

North:

North: Jack Frost.

The Mini-Teeth all sigh and swoon as the Guardians stand there, stunned.                                                

Jim: Well then, at least Hiccup's going to be happy

Astrid: *Shrugs, and idly shifts her axe from one hand to another* Well, as long as he does his part in caring for the children…

Tooth: And Hiccup’s going to be motivated more than ever now too.

Aster: Jack Frost!? He doesn't care about children! All he does is freeze water pipes and mess with my egg hunts. Right? He's an irresponsible, selfish...                                                

Manny: Aide.                            

Aster: I can tell you that Jack Frost is a lot of things, but he's--

Hiccup finally flies in with Toothless

Hiccup: I'm sorry I'm late! *He jumps down from Toothless* Snow storm in Moscow delayed me... Er, among other things...

Everyone looks at him

North: Perfect timing Hiccup! We need you to find Jack and bring him here.

Hiccup, remembering his final moments with Jack before leaving, looked mortified...

Hiccup: Do you guys hate me or something?

Dalhousie killer; The murder of Taylor Samson and time line of events

22 yr old Taylor Samson and 24 yr old William Sandeson were both students at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the year of 2015. Samson was studying physics and Sandeson was a med student. Somewhere along the line their paths met and unfortunately it would cost Taylor Samson his life.

on August 14th 2015, the two had been setting up a drug deal through some text messages and the two had agreed to meet up. At the meeting location Taylor gave William a sample of his marijuana to try.

Sandeson didn’t care for the sample Taylor gave him and texted him saying he wanted more because of the poor quality. Taylor agreed to address the issues Sandeson was complaining about and made plans to meet up again the following night at Sandeson’s apartment.

The next day, August 15th 2015, Sandeson told his girlfriend that he wanted her out of his apartment that evening. She wanted him to stop dealing drugs and when he asked her to leave his apartment she was under the impression he just wanted to do one last deal.

Around 10pm Taylor Samson left his Halifax apartment with a large black Dalhousie duffel bag containing the marijuana to meet up with William Sandeson. He left his keys and wallet at home and told his girlfriend that he wouldn’t be long.

William Sandeson had set up his own security cameras in and outside of the building and him and Taylor, still carrying the duffel bag, were caught on camera together that night.

About half an hour later, William Sandeson’s neighbor and his friend who was with him at the time both heard a loud gunshot. Very shortly after the gunshot, Sandeson knocked on his neighbor’s door, stood there for a moment, said nothing and walked back to his apartment. The two men followed behind him and said they saw a man sitting at a kitchen table with blood running down his back, but could not see his face because his back was towards them. They claim they also saw some marijuana and money on the table and that Sandeson started to panic while trying to gather up the bloody money.

At some point, the two men walked back to the other apartment but decided to check back and looked into Sandeson’s apartment a second time. This time the body was gone but the blood and and money was still inside and this is when they decided to leave the building and attend a party they had planned on going to.

Concerned about her boyfriend because he is taking much longer than expected, Taylor’s girlfriend sends him texts and tries calling but never receives a reply.

Sandeson’s girlfriend, who left his apartment for the night, returned home not long after midnight. She noticed that there was a strong smell of cleaning solutions and when she asked about it Sandeson told her there had been a fight and he had used it to clean up some blood.

In an attempt to make it look like Taylor was a no show that night, Sandeson sent a couple of texts to Taylor’s phone, suggesting he had failed to show up to their meeting.

The next day while Sandeson’s girlfriend was on Facebook she saw a missing persons post about Taylor and asked him if he was the one that was hurt in the apartment last night, to which he replied no.

The security system was cut off for some time but when it was hooked back up, it showed Sandeson making several trips up the hall, carrying different items. The camera he set up outside showed him placing the items in the trunk of a small black car. And early the next morning the cameras also showed him cleaning the trunk of his car before heading to work.

The next day Taylor was supposed to travel to Amherst, NS, to visit his mother for dinner but he never showed up. She tried to contact him many times without success, before she decided to call the police. The following day, August 16th 2015, an investigation started in the disappearance of Taylor Samson.

Also that day Sandeson sent a text to his younger brother, Adam, stating he’d be coming over to do some laundry because “there’s stuff in his basement and it smells funny.” While his bother was there, Adam noticed a black Dalhousie duffel bag containing marijuana.

After some investigating, the police brought William Sandeson into the station for questioning. At first they looked at him as a possible witness but his story kept changing and he was put on surveillance after he left that day.

The police saw this case as a large marijuana deal and feared Samson was a target of a drug rip and could be captive somewhere. When police showed up at Sandeson’s apartment looking for Taylor, there was no one home. Thinking that he could be inside, they busted the door down. There was no sign of Taylor but they did see evidence of foul play and filed for a search warrant.

Police finally find Sandeson at the home of his girlfriend’s grandmother in Dartmouth, NS, and place him under arrest for charges of kidnapping, trafficking and misleading police. He is taken to headquarters where he is interrogated. After Sandeson told the police that two masked men entered his apartment and killed Taylor and took his body out through the window he then changed his story that he knew the two men were in his apartment but only thought they were going to scare Taylor.

After so many inconsistencies during the interrogation the police finally told Sandeson they collected evidence from his apartment, including the security videos and saw what appeared to be blood stains and charged him with murder.

William Sandeson’s brother, Adam, and his roommates decided to look more in the basement as well. In addition to the Dalhousie duffel bag full of marijuana they found the day before, they also found two other containers full of drugs; one small appliance box filled with marijuana and some in a grocery bag. They then contacted a lawyer to take the evidence to the police.

Police gathered evidence, including the duffel bag, a shower curtain, a tarp, a bullet that was lodged in Sandeson’s window frame, and a handgun. There was also evidence of blood on the table and chair set along with blood spatter in the bathroom. All of these items contained the blood and DNA of Taylor Samson. The items were seized from Sandeson’s apartment in Halifax and from his family’s farm in Truro, NS.

The police believe William Sandeson lured Taylor Samson to his apartment with what he thought was a going to be a drug deal - 20 pounds of marijuana for $40,000. Sandeson was receiving pressure from his family about his spending habits and he had owed more than $70,000 to a credit company plus $10,000 in student loans. They believe he took Taylor to his apartment and shot him in the back of the head so he could take his money and then also sell the marijuana as a way to help ease his debt.

To this day, Taylor Samson’s body has not been found but despite that, in July of 2017, William Sandeson was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison before he can be eligible for parole. During his sentencing, Samson’s family yelled at William Sandeson demanding he tell them where Taylor’s body is located. Sandeson has remained quiet and never revealed that information but the family vows to never stop looking for their loved one so they can bring him home for a proper burial.

I have a biology degree, am reading Way of Kings by B. Sanderson for the first time, and making that everyones' problem.

Mr. Sandeson-- can I call you Brandon? Great. Brandon. I sincerely love your world building, especially when you describe the flora and fauna. And like, maybe i haven't gotten to this part yet bc I'm maybe 1/4 into Way of Kings. But Brandon, I don't understand what sort of galaxy-brained phylogenetic tree you're aiming for. Cause right now I have to ask:

Why horses?

Cause we've established that horses exist in this world, but most of the domesticated species (e.g. pets, transport) are some HEFTY crustacean-ish species. This implies that at some point, chulls had to be doing something that served a purpose to humans. I'm assuming as a riding animal (but idk maybe for their meat?????) which suggests that those crustaceans have been large for at least a few generations. Given the sediment in the rainwater and sporadic typhoon schedule, I can see how species with exoskeletons could be selected for by their environment.

But horses?

Horses?

Horses which fall apart in a stiff breeze? Horses that have all their joints very not protected by a shell?? A set of teeth for grinding plant matter and only one stomach???

I Have Questions. Where did these equines evolve? Do they have any crustacean elements to their physiology? Are they even horses like I-- as a reader-- understand them???

First Degree From Med School to Murder: The Story Behind the Shocking Will Sandeson Trial Kayla Hounsell Genre: Law Price: $10.99 Publish Date: December 4, 2018 Publisher: Nimbus Seller: eBOUND Canada A murder, a missing body, and a sensational trial that gripped Nova Scotia. Will Sandeson seemed like a model son. A member of the Dalhousie University track and field team, he was about to start classes at Dalhousie’s medical school. He worked at a group home for adults with disabilities. He came from a good family. “There’s times for whatever reason that things don’t go quite as planned,” a Halifax police officer told Sandeson shortly after he was arrested for the first-degree murder of Taylor Samson, who also, on the surface, seemed like a model son. Samson lived in a fraternity house near Dalhousie, and when the six-foot-five physics student disappeared without a trace, the focus eventually turned to Sandeson. Sandeson’s trial, blown open by a private investigator accused of switching sides, exposed a dangerous world of drugs, ambition, and misplaced loyalties. Through interviews with friends and relatives, as well as transcripts, award-winning journalist Kayla Hounsell tells the full story of two young men who appeared destined for bright futures.

Whoa. He had him down to the minute. Sure he knew police work was important, but to have someone on such a short leash ...

Mike gave the man a nod, before taking a few steps into the room. He held the note up, nodding, “Says here, the Sandeson Case.”

Tapping his foot on the floo,r he gave another smile, “I’m Mike by the way. Morgan. Transferred in a few months back.”
