For the 5 hcs, au where fuyumi, manual, gran torino, and hawks all teach at ua. Bonus if nedzu teaches a homeroom or something

Can't help but think about something my coworkers discussed this week: the difference between teachers who had to take some kind of child psych course, and the teachers who didn't.

1- Fuyumi is a first year teacher who got her degree in education and licence to teach the traditional way, paying for those classes with the money she made as a hero part time. She didn't believe in only trying halfway to be a teacher just because it was at a hero school. (Being a teacher was her real dream. A hero teacher was a compromise with her father's expectations.) Manual went through a teaching program and started a couple years ago, so he's got a little more experience than her and almost as much training. Hawks went through a brief, truncated program to teach, and Gran Torino just... Got hired by Nedzu some time ago, no one questions his qualifications but honestly everyone should.

2- as teachers with the most experience, Torino and Manual have hero homerooms. Torino was given 1A this year to watch out for All Might's successor, and 2A is just glad he didn't move up with them. Manual has 1B and is not used to being on the same grade team as Torino- nor to running a rivalry with him but when Torino starts it, you kinda have to get with it or get run over.

3- Fuyumi has a homeroom 1C, and takes a role similar to Midnight's- she teaches a lot about image and how to project what is the best for you, how to pick agencies and the strategy for communicating with them. She's also given announcer duties at the SF as a notable hero, but not too popular on her own to run the third year stage instead. She's honestly glad for her homeroom, it's a bit like the normal teaching gig, and she gets to travel to work and back home with Shoto every morning.

4- Hawks honestly wanted a lot of the job Fuyumi got, but instead teaches Rescue more than anything else. He was sent to UA to be the Commission's eyes. Nedzu is aware, and that's why he's kept a bit away from the main campus most of the time, and why he was picked to announce the third year stage at the SF.

5- All Might's favorite fellow teacher is Manual, because he's terrified of Torino, feels bad relying on young Hawks, and as helpful as Fuyumi is, it's her first year too. Manual can be a great teacher mentor though, reviewing his lesson plans for the first years with a careful eye! (And honestly, a pale face almost passed out from the compliment.)

"The problem is — and I will keep banging this drum as long as I have to — Biden’s incoherence on Israel and Palestine is both morally unforgivable and bad political strategy. He is bleeding support not only from young people, Arab-Americans, and others incensed with his continued support for a genocidal war machine, but also from pro-Israel moderates and Never Trump conservatives who are enraged at his furtive and contradictory efforts to ever-so-slightly rein that war machine in. I’ll give more details about that incoherence below. For now, I’ll just say that by trying to make everyone a little happy, he is making no one happy, as the pile of Palestinian corpses grows at his feet.

But that’s the narrow part of the question in the context of American politics. The bigger issue for me is why Biden’s management of the human catastrophe in Gaza is so salient. My answer is that it points to the larger and even more consequential failures of liberal politics over the last four to eight years.

....the heart of Biden’s failure to both recognize and confront the actual danger facing democracy. In a recent In These Times essay titled “Antifacism after Gaza,” the Italian philosopher Alberto Toscano subtly tweaked leftist Democratic politicians for whom “the threat of Trumpian despotism blunted opposition” to Biden’s Israel policy: “There is a bitter irony in granting primacy to the national fight against fascism over the campaign to stop a U.S.-funded genocide when the current Israeli government — in its exterminationist rhetoric, patronage of racist militias, colonizing drive and ultranationalism — fits textbook definitions of fascism far more neatly than any other contemporary regime.”

The campus protests would have been another opportunity for Biden to show his commitment to democratic and pro-social ideals. I’m not saying he had to support the protesters or their aims — they are, after all, in large part protesting him. But no one made Biden take the further step of employing reactionary talking points about the protests being fonts of antisemitism and supposedly genocidal rhetoric, or repeating memeified claims about “Jewish students” being “blocked, harrassed, attacked, while walking to class” — questionable claims that have been weaponized to justify state and vigilante violence against demonstrators exercising their First Amendment rights.2 Biden repeated those claims on May 7, Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day. Yet he said nothing about the weeks of wanton anti-demonstrator violence by both police and unhinged pro-Israel counterprotesters. In fact, instead of condemning the episodic police state, he is pushing a new plan to funnel $37 billion more to police departments and hire 100,000 more cops.

The political problem here should be obvious. How do you explain to a student who just watched, say, the NYPD throw their friends down a flight of stairs for participating in a nonviolent protest — acts committed without so a peep of condemnation from the president — that a vote for him is a vote against fascism?

Nor is Gaza the only place Biden and the Democrats keep undermining their claim to being the antifascist party. The president has repeatedly pleaded with Trump to work with him in passing a MAGA-like immigration bill: one that prioritized enforcement, detention, and “shutdown” measures over, for instance, pathways to citizenship for undocumented migrants or those who came as children. When Trump didn’t take Biden’s obvious political bait, the president tried running even further to his right. Biden can insist, as he did at the State of the Union, that he “will not demonize immigrants” or endorse Trump’s Hitlerian cant about “poisoning the blood of our country.” But by adopting reactionary fearmongering about the need to “secure the border” above all else, all that remains of a message to voters is that even squishy libs think the fascists have a point about immigration — it’s just that they aren’t willing to do more to stop it.

The connection between state violence at home and genocide abroad isn’t lost on the students. Popular chants connect the dispossession and killing in Palestine to U.S. policy in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Latin America, as well as immigration policy here: “From Palestine to Mexico / border walls have got to go.” As Toscano notes, protesters at the University of Texas chanted at the Austin police: “APD! KKK! / IDF! They’re all the same!” — connecting domestic policing and racism to the Israeli military. And indeed, that connection isn’t purely theoretical: thousands of U.S. police officers have received direct training from the Israeli military on crowd control, use of force, and surveillance in recent decades, including the NYPD, and yes, the Austin police as well.

Strohs Brewery 991 Gratiot Ave

Stroh Brewing Company started with Johann Peter Stroh in 1775 in Kirn, Germany. Johann and his family lived in a house with an adjoining brew house attached, and ran a local inn that served meals and their family’s recipe for Bohemian-style Pilsner Ale. Johann had three sons and one daughter. His second son, Georg Freidrich Stroh, inherited the brew house. Georg’s youngest son was

Johann Bernhard Stroh (known to the world as Bernhard), who was born in 1821. On February 22, 1848, revolutions erupted across Europe. With all the turbulent violence surrounding Europe in the mid-19th century, and with his father Johann’s death and his elder brother Georg inheriting the family business, a 27 year old Bernhard Stroh, who had learned the brewing trade, immigrated to the United States.

Bernhard Stroh arrived in the United States in 1850. He immediately started his own business. Stroh opened a brewery at 57 Catherine Street…He developed a market for a new light lager beer among the larger German immigrant population, and names his new company Lion’s Head Brewery, adopting the Lion’s Crest logo from Kyrburg Castle in Kirn, Germany.

The company uses this same crest as their logo to this day. With only an investment of $150 (in 2016 dollars, this would amount to $4,409.53) that he provided himself through working for the family inn back in Germany, Stroh had to be very frugal in his spending. By 1860, Stroh’s customers had a desire for Stroh to start bottling his famous beer so they could enjoy the Bohemian-style Pilsner Ale at their homes.

Bernhard Stroh would have his sons personally cart small kegs of beer to his customer’s homes and business by wheelbarrow.

Stroh’s would not only become Detroit’s largest brewer, but the third largest in the country.

This massive, million-square-foot factory at Gratiot near I-75 grew as the company did, with buildings dating from the 1860s to 1914. In late 1890, the firm Spier & Rohns was hired to make extensive additions and improvements to the Stroh campus, including building a 25-foot-by-70-foot fireproof stockhouse, a 60-foot-by-100-foot bottling works, and a new ice-machine plant. These additions made the brewery the largest in Michigan and formed some of the most visible parts of the plant.

By 1956, the Detroit brewery was pumping out 2.7 million barrels of beer — 83.7 million gallons.

he 1970s and 1980s were very productive years for the Stroh’s; sales continued to increase with the acquisition of Goebel’s, new leadership came in 1967 with John Stroh becoming CEO and Peter Stroh, Gari Stroh’s son, became President. The duo expanded the company to its greatest height throughout the two decades with new marketing and aggressive advertising strategies. With increased sales, the Stroh brewing company was able to match the big three car companies in terms of salaries and benefits. Early in the 1980’s, Peter Stroh started looking to take Stroh’s to the national stage, and made a bid on the Schaeffer Brewing Company and Schlitz Brewing Company. Schaeffer started to go into debt in the late 1970s and early ’80s, making the buyout from Stroh’s all too easy in 1981. Schlitz accepted a buyout offer of $17 a share. Schlitz became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Stroh Brewing Company, making Stroh the third-largest brewery in the United States. With all this expansion, Peter Stroh, now CEO at this time, realized his company was overextended. By 1985, Peter Stroh recognized his company was operating with excess capacity, On Feb. 8, 1985, Stroh’s announced it was closing its Detroit facility, calling it too costly to run and too inefficient compared with newer facilities it had acquired. The plant was shuttered that May, bringing an end to 135 years of tradition and costing 1,159 Detroiters their jobs.

The factory was imploded in two phases -- on April 13, 1986, and July 13, 1986 -- with the land soon redeveloped as Brewery Park.

In 1999, the struggling company was imploded, too, split up and sold to Miller Brewing and Pabst.

Numbers 60-51! There's a lot of sequels or spiritual successors in this one. That's just how the list came to be, I have to say.

Link to part 1. Link to part 2. Link to part 3. Link to part 4. Link to part 6. Link to part 7. Link to part 8. Link to part 9. Link to part 10.

60. Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 is the better of the two because all of L4D1 is in L4D2. And it's FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC to play with friends (or bots), just do a whole campaign with 3 of your friends shooting zombies, trying to get through to each safe house, getting picked up at the end, it's a great time.

59. XCOM: Enemy Unknown

The game that really got me into the X-COM/XCOM series. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is Firaxis's first take on the alien strategy game, and refines it so you get a nice streamlined experience, and repopularized the genre. Even with its sequel choosing to go with the bad end, the good end is fun to get to.

58. Theme Hospital

I love Theme Hospital more than Theme Park. I don't know why, the theme of health care can be very dry. But Theme Hospital makes it funny with Bloaty Head, King Complex, Hairyitis, and Invisibility illnesses. It's a little less hardcore than Theme Park, but that makes it better, in my opinion.

57. Two Point Hospital

Not to say that the formula couldn't be improved. Two Point Hospital is everything Theme Hospital is, but better. Better room design capabilities, better way of hiring staff, better training of staff, sillier illnesses, easier to get into, more experimentation with levels, just everything's better. I freaking love Two Point Hospital.

56. Two Point Campus

Not to say it couldn't be refined further. Two Point Campus replaced the health care theme with a university/college theme and adds the ability to build your own buildings instead of having pre-built plots to build within. The new theme allows them to go even zanier, and it's worth it to three-star each university. I love Two Point Campus.

55. The Sims 2

The Sims 2 is my favorite of the The Sims series, adding aspirations, wants, fears, and giving the game a great feel. Adding the life stages, and making Sims age was a great addition to the series, and it's all-in-all a better experience than The Sims 1.

54. Baldur's Gate 2

Baldur's Gate was a great RPG when it came out, but Baldur's Gate 2 was better. It had a great main villain, a compelling story, and a great group of characters that are memorable, especially Minsc and his miniature space hamster, Boo.

53. Borderlands 2

Yes, yes, I know, its humor can feel dated now, but Borderlands 2 is still a blast to play through if you get a group of friends together to do so. Handsome Jack is a fantastic villain, and the guns feel great to use. Well, maybe not Hyperion if you're concerned about accuracy. Anyway, the Vault Hunters all feel unique, and it's fun to play as any of them.

52. FlatOut 2

FlatOut 2 is a great racing game with stunts and realistic damage. Its AI isn't too bad either, I don't feel like they're rubberbanding when I race against them. The tracks are all distinct and feel good to race on. The stunt mode is also great, trying to fling your avatar into specific places.

51. Rise of the Triad

Ah, good ol' Rise of the Triad, the progenitor of Ludicrous Gibs. It's not bad, being built on a heavily-modified Wolfenstein 3D engine that allowed height. Its ridiculousness helped it stand out among the so-called “DOOM clones,” what with powerups and powerdowns such as God Mode, Dog Mode, Shrooms Mode, and Elasto Mode. Really looking forward to the Ludicrous Edition.

Part 6 is next!

[benicebefunny]

There are academics who (rightfully) critique the adjunctification of the professoriate. That is, they take issue with universities hiring more and more part-time, adjunct faculty (who have little job security) instead of full-time, tenure-track faculty (who have great job security after tenure).

I agree with this critique. Full employment, full benefits, job security for everyone, fuck scarcity.

However, it's obvious that some tenured faculty are only just now realizing that--under the current higher ed system (the one they, as tenured faculty, benefit from immensely)--reducing the number of adjuncts means reducing the number of adjuncts.

These tenured faculty previously didn't grasp that de-adjunctification involves laying off adjunct faculty.

Due to budget cuts and enrollment declines, universities are laying off or "not reappointing" adjuncts. Which is bad and entirely avoidable if institutions and governments got their priorities in order. (Maybe we don't need an office for the campus President's wife?)

But the reduction in adjuncts is accomplishing (in a vicious manner) the call for greater tenure-track density (more tenured and tenure track faculty vs. adjunct faculty).

And now tenured faculty are realizing the human costs of their beliefs.

Again, these lay-offs are terrible management decisions that have little to do with critiques of adjunctification. I'm not saying tenured faculty made this happen.

However, you would think proponents of de-adjunctification would be more prepared to weather a very foreseeable outcome of that process.

You'd think a tenured, full professor would be able to announce "we will have less work for adjuncts this year; start looking for other jobs" without crying, and making a big show of how much this saddens them, and generally reorienting all the compassion in the room towards them and away from the people losing their fucking jobs.

You'd think these tenured faculty would come up with a more winning strategy for resisting these decisions than "being sad in public."

You'd think, but you'd be wrong.

~~~~~

Mei Hatsume was a spritely one, to say the least. When arriving at UA, you had naturally assumed Bakugou would be the one causing all the explosions, but nope. Hatsume clearly didn’t care for first impressions, having nearly blown you, Deku and Uraraka to bits showcasing one of her “super cute babies.” Not to mention it took her ten minutes to finally notice your missing appendage and realize why you were visiting. You yourself had almost forgotten in the meantime.

“Yowzah!” Hatsume exclaimed, poking you in the forearm. “That looks painful, what happened here?”

“Villains, Hatsume,” you grunted, growing tired of her assertiveness. You didn’t even bother reading her mind—it was simply too chaotic. With so many ideas flooding into her brain at once, you wondered if this girl ever got any sleep. “Villains happened. Don’t you remember the attack a few days ago?”

“Of course I do! Several of my classmates won’t stop talking about it. To have that many villains on our campus at one time? We seriously need to up our security game at this school. I mean, I honestly can’t believe the teachers allowed the villains to get so close!”

Uraraka nodded in agreement. “From what Deku was telling me, it sounds like the League of Villains had planned almost every little thing out in detail.”

You turned to Midoriya. “You think they know someone on the inside of UA?”

“I do wonder,” Midoriya replied, bringing a hand to his chin pensively. “Actually, that would make a lot of sense. But who would this person be? They couldn’t possibly be in our class, there’s no one that could fit that bill. Maybe another class? Or maybe a—no, not a teacher. All of the staff at UA has a long history of Pro Hero work and clean records.”

“Deku,” Uraraka tapped him. “You’re doing it again.”

“Your one-handed friend here showed up at an interesting time, maybe it’s her,” Hatsume shrugged, almost conceitedly. In response, Midoriya gave you a very intriguing look. His expression was unfamiliar to you, almost as if his trust in you did dip after hearing Hatume’s suggestion. Which was stupid—you brought up this traitor thing in the first place, what the hell kind of a strategy would that be?

“Whoa, slow down, Hatsume,” you growled. “What would the point of that be? The League literally kidnapped me, are you dumb? Which brings me to why I’m here. I need a new hand. It’s kind of challenging to go without one, especially since my right hand was dominant.”

“Ooooh!” Mei’s tune reverted back to nothing but giddiness as she grabbed your bandaged arm to inspect it. “What are ya thinking, then? I’m not giving you some boring old prosthetic, just so you’re aware.”

“Actually I did put thought into it. My quirk isn’t fully suited for battle or self-defense, so I’d love something that can broaden my horizons in that regard.”

“Go on,” Hatsume smirked at you.

“I was thinking a hand that transforms between some sort of long-range weapon and a regular old five-fingered hand.”

“I like it! I’ll get to work right away, everybody out!” Hatsume shouted boisterously. “My babies and I need some privacy!”

“W-wait, you don’t need more information?”

“I already got your left hand’s measurements and whatnot, so no need!” Huh? When did she do that? “Now, scram!” Mei Hatsume ushered the three of you out of the Support Department’s lab, her hand coming into contact with Deku’s waist a couple of times. With you and Uraraka on either side of him, his next thoughts were hard to ignore.

Why does this always happen to me?

With Hatsume behind me, Aya on my left and Ochako on my right…

It’s too much!

They’re all so close!

Hey, she needs to watch her hand!

Seriously, it’s like I’m the main character in an anime or something!

I mean I’m not really complaining but come on!

Having been effectively shoved into the hallway, you burst into laughter the moment Deku’s eyes met yours. To keep yourself from falling over, you leaned into Uraraka. Midoriya awkwardly scratched his head and asked, “What’s so funny?”

“You and women,” you chortled, feeling Uraraka stiffen. “That’s what’s funny—no, hilarious.”

“What are you—oh.” Deku’s entire face turned even redder than before, making you feel a bit maniacal. Ah, manipulation was fun, sometimes.

Your laughter finally began to die out. “Did you forget I got my quirk back or something?” You whispered to Uraraka to give her context, the color of her cheeks quickly matching Deku’s. Based on Uraraka’s thoughts, perhaps it was a good day to play matchmaker?

Nah, maybe later.

“So cute,” you chuckled to yourself, turning and wandering down the hall. “Well, I gotta run. I guess some of the UA staff want me at one of their meetings. I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes. Later!”

You wondered if leaving them alone together would spark anything or if they’d be too aloof to notice each other. Knowing those two, the latter was more likely.

Inside the UA conference room, you were greeted by Nezu, Aizawa, and All Might. Waving you over with his typical deadpan expression, Aizawa suggested you take a seat next to him. You couldn’t shake the feeling that something about the situation was making you feel very uncomfortable. Sick to your stomach, even. The room was dark, the thoughts were suspicious, heads were low.

“Welcome, Aya,” Nezu spoke up, smiling at you. “Thank you for taking the time to join us today.”

“Thank you for having me,” you responded, cautiously taking your seat. You quieted everyone’s thoughts, eager to focus on their words and actions instead. “What’s going on?”

“Well, we’ve all been wondering about something.” He paused, his beady eyes never leaving yours. “What’s all this about dismantling the hero ranking system?”

You swear your heart fell out of your chest at that moment. “What do you mean? Who told you about that?”

Your question triggered a matching thought among everyone present. You snickered quietly, your gaze focused on your lap.

Who else would’ve tattled on you but that shady Number Two Hero himself?

“Hawks, huh,” you comment before anyone could even reply to you, your eyes bulging out of your head. Even with everything you did for him, he goes and does this? What the fuck was he thinking?

The door to the room then swung open, the backstabbing devil himself striding on in and grabbing a seat across from you. “Sorry I’m late,” the Wing Hero apologized, casually sipping away at a can of coffee. You stared at him, eye twitching.

“We just need to address our concerns is all,” All Might cut in, ignoring Hawks’ tardiness.

“UA is a prestigious hero academy and all students’ values must align with the school’s,” Nezu added. “Your involvement with Class 1-A has been unique, something our school has never seen before.”

“What, a fucking TA?” you snarl, half-lidded eyes locking onto Nezu.

“Aya,” All Might snapped at you. “Everything will be alright, just let the principal finish.”

Oh, the power you held in your hands right now—well, hand. All Might and Hawks in the same room? You could reveal both their secrets to Nezu and unleash—

No, calm down and be patient. You can read minds, not tell the future.

“Fine,” you growl, setting an elbow on the table and resting your chin on the palm of your hand. “Get to the point.”

“Because of Hawks’ intel, we believe we must act on behalf of our students, putting their safety first and removing you from this institution.”

Before you could get a word in, Aizawa nudged you and said, “We also believe the bond you have with your quirk has grown exponentially. As much as I’d like for you to stay, it is likely time you pack up and go back into the world. This is good news—this was always part of the plan when we brought you in.”

Nezu jumped back into the conversation. “Yes, but due to your newly discovered stance on Heroes, you’re not to be fully trusted, which is why we are telling you this a little sooner.”

First, you raised an eyebrow at All Might. Why was he so quiet? You knew about one of the biggest secrets in all of Japan—Midoriya being in possession of One For All!

Then you narrowed your eyes at Hawks, the most double-dealing individual you knew. You were definitely going to have a word with him when this was over.

“So I’m a threat now? Just because of what I said? You don’t even have the right context! I was being pressured by the League of Villains! Maybe you Heroes are crazy.”

“We plan on helping you find an apartment,” Aizawa explained. “Somewhere in the area so you can continue visiting. UA can budget to help you financially as well.”

All Might grinned at you. “And even if there isn’t room in the budget, I’m happy to help as well. I hope you’re not getting the idea that we wish to be done with you forever, because we don’t.”

Oh. That sounded kinda nice. “What about General Studies?” you asked. “Why can’t I just enroll?”

“We simply too far into the year,” Nezu explained. “There’s always the next, but even by then you’ll already be eighteen.”

That’s right, your birthday was in about a month or so. You let out a long sigh. “Guess I’m stuck. Gonna need a job, too.”

“With your quirk, it won’t be hard to find one,” Hawks replied, finishing his coffee and leaning back in his seat. “Just slap it on a résumé.”

“There is another problem, though,” Nezu continued, grabbing a packet and flipping through several pages. “In preparation of his report, Hawks gathered some further information before coming to us. I see you have no employment history, were kicked out of elementary school, lived with multiple foster families, and have been charged with robbery, assault and battery.”

“The battery bit was my fault,” Hawks interrupted, earning a dramatic eye roll from you.

“To top things off, you’ve apparently spent time in an insane asylum. Though your quirk may be useful, be prepared for declined background checks and other issues when trying to find work. Come to think of it, have you even learned how to drive?”

“Self-taught but yes,” you pout. “Still need a damn license. Though you should know, a student in the Department of Support is making a prosthetic hand for me. Can I please remain on campus until she's done?”

The teachers and staff all exchanged glances. "Starting today, you have one week."

"Great. Is there anything else you stupid Pros want or am I good to leave?"

"You're excused," Nezu proclaimed.

Immediately, you shot out of your seat and leaned over the table, staring Hawks down. "A word in the hallway?"

To make matters worse, Hawks had the audacity to smile at you. “Sure,” was all he said, grinning ear to ear.

As soon as the door to the conference room was shut behind Hawks, you spun around and pinned him to the wall without any hesitation. Based on his annoying smirk, you could assume he let you pin him. “What do you think you’re doing reporting me like that?” you hissed, the man’s egotistical grin finally faltering.

“I was just doing my job,” Hawks retorted, bringing a finger to his lips and then pointing at his temple.

“Are you fu—” Instantaneously, the Number Two Hero panicked and covered your mouth with a gloved hand, staring at you intently.

The League is listening to us.

I need you to react to my thoughts and not my words.

Can you agree to that?

Can I remove my hand now?

You nodded.

“Pipe down, I was gonna report you anyway,” Hawks stated, folding his arms. “I mean, I needed to. Dismantling our entire hero system? Come on. Sounds like quite the threat, don’t you think?”

Dabi told me to report you to UA.

Don’t ask why, he wouldn’t tell me.

I wasn’t certain how the school would react.

I need to sell this, so I’m sorry you have to pay a bit of the price.

You blinked at him, wishing you could project your own thoughts and communicate with Hawks telepathically.

“If you aren’t going to say anything, then please get off.”

You backed away from Hawks and cleared your throat. “Alright, alright.”

“Thank you. You take care of yourself, you hear?”

Cheer up, buttercup!

“Sure,” you murmured, a bit startled this was the League’s handiwork.

See ya later.

The next thing you knew, you were standing alone in a desolate hallway.

Back in class, you impatiently slumped at Aizawa’s desk and kicked back as he taught Class 1-A about the most common lawsuits heroes face in society. Invasion of Privacy was a frequent lawsuit, in which many Pro Heroes get unnecessarily beat over the head for touching a person inappropriately. Confused? Sure, it sounds justifiable on the surface—but then Aizawa continued on, explaining that people won’t hesitant to make these lawsuits for the money.

“Oftentimes, civilians will make false claims about being touched inappropriately while caught in midair or moved out of the way of danger, among other things,” Mr. Aizawa stated, clicking through some slides showing lawsuit statistics. “Civil Rights lawsuits are also routine. For example, people would probably notice Grape Juice ‘choosing’ to save more women than men. No matter what, we must remember rescuing civilians is part of our job. We are meant to save whoever whenever. You will have eyes on you at all times, so act fairly and responsibly.”

Kirishima raised a hand. “So you mean to say that if I come into contact with someone’s waist, on purpose or not, I could end up getting sued for saving them?”

“That’s precisely it,” Aizawa nodded. “On top of everything else, Pro Heroes must be considerate of this. For the most part, people will be grateful and not bat an eye, but don’t be surprised if you save someone who’s a little catty. In other words, good luck running a successful agency if you’re getting sued all the time.”

Well, you really hoped Mineta would take this lesson to heart. For you, the lecture was useful but taxing. Why do people have to be so finicky?

Once all the students had filed out of the room after class, Aizawa approached you with a stack of papers. “Do you mind grading these assignments for me tonight?”

“I don’t mind,” you replied, taking the pile from him. “What, you have plans or something?”

“Yes, finding you an apartment to live in.” There was a pause. “I’m sorry about all that’s happening, Aya. It wasn’t really up to me.” The teacher turned around to pull out some more documents from inside his desk. “I made a résumé for you. There are a few copies here. I also emailed you the electronic version.”

You’d never had a résumé before. “Thanks,” you said, taking the paperwork from him and looking it over. Every single word on the sheet was positive. “Wow, this is really detailed. And nice of you.”

“It’s just about who you are. You’re a good kid and I wish you the best. Feel free to come and train with myself, Shinsou or Class 1-A anytime. All Might, Hawks and myself are your best references.”

“Hawks surprises me, but I’ll take it. Why didn’t you have a say in letting me stay?”

“I mean I had a say, but it was Principal Nezu who made the final decision. You’ve blossomed into a talented quirk-user and it does make sense for you move on from UA. We both know this isn’t truly where you want to be.”

“I guess you’re right,” you shrugged. “I’m just worried to tell everyone.”

“And that’s just it.” Reassuringly, Aizawa placed a hand on your shoulder and gently squeezed. “The relationships you’ve made here are why you feel the need to stay, but I believe there are bigger things in store for you.”

“What’s bigger than becoming a Pro Hero?”

Well, perhaps a vigilante’s line of work would best suit you.

The following day, you and Midoriya visited Mei Hatsume to check on your gear’s status.

“All done!” Hatsume sang, running to grab your prosthetic hand. Her bubbly attitude would normally make your head spin, but you were too excited to care. Hatsume popped out from behind a countertop, a fascinatingly silver and white robotic hand in her possession. “Ta-da!” the student proclaimed. “My newest baby! Check out what she can do!” Hatsume flipped a switch implanted in the metal, the hand transforming into knife-like weapon. “Not only does she do that, but there’s a third mode!” She changed the setting again, triggering the mechanical device to shift into a pistol-like gun. “Here’s that sexy long distance you were asking for!” Without warning, she turned and fired the gun, putting a hole in the wall. “Neat, right?”

“Neat?” Hatsume handed the tech to you, allowing you to finally check it out yourself. “This is amazing! How does the gun work? What ammo does it use? Also how to I attach this to myself?”

“Well first and foremost, this is based off a concept weapon proposed by US scientists!In terms of ammo, the gun setting harvests the sun's energy to power a constellation of chemical lasers mounted on the prosthetic’s metal base. Stored in battery cells, the solar power can be unleashed as a high-energy laser beam to fry ground, sea, air or space-based targets. Basically, the device is completely solar powered and uses power from the sun as ammo! Which unfortunately also means your ammo is slightly weaker at nighttime or in a super dark room. But, it’s unlimited, so there’s that!” Hatsume then demonstrated how to attach the hand to your body, the process being both easy and mostly painless. “Now it has to connect to your nervous system in order for you to control it, so make sure to press the power button once you’ve latched the hand onto yourself. You may feel a slight pinch each time, but it’s nothing to worry about.”

You wiggled your mechanical fingers, continuously messing around with your new appendage and testing out the device. “This is incredible! I should’ve lost a hand to a villain sooner!” you shouted, glancing over to see Deku grinning at you. “What?”

“Oh, I’ve just never seen you so happy,” he responded. “We should go train in the gym with some of the others! Y’know, if it’s available.”

Midoriya wasn’t wrong. You were feeling pretty ecstatic.

You wondered when a good time to tell him would be.

“Yes, let’s train,” you smiled at him, pumping your shiny new fist into the air. “Lead the way!”

Smiling back at you a few moments later, in addition to Midoriya, was Kirishima, Mina, Kaminari and Sero. Bakugou was also leaning against wall nearby, but wasn’t smiling or paying much attention, as per usual.

“Midoriya told us about your new upgrade!” Kirishima bounced over to you, curiously inspecting your arm. Mina, Sero and Kaminari mirrored him, doing the exact same. You showed them the three separate modes, taking your sweet time in order to build up their excitement.

“So cool!” Kaminari proclaimed, spinning in a celebratory circle. “Bakugou, check this out!”

Hands in his pockets, Bakugou sauntered over, the rest of his crew moving out of the way. “Am I supposed to be impressed or something?”

Unbelievable.

In an instant, you rolled your eyes and switched your hand to the necessary setting, aiming the device at Bakugou and pulling the trigger with your left hand. As you’d intended, the gun’s laser zipped just past him, missing the student’s head by an inch. Having caught his undivided attention, you got right to the point and began shouting at the blonde. “Teach me what you know!” you requested, flaunting your new weapon. “Please teach me how to fight, Bakugou-san!”

Just as you’d planned, calling him Bakugou-san went straight to his head.

“Tch,” he chuckled, small sparks flying out of his hands. “That’s the real reason you and Deku dragged me out here, eh?”

Mina stepped forward. “This’ll be fun! I can totally help with long-range attacks!”

“Me too!” Sero smiled, flexing.

Kirishima hardened, activating his quirk. “I’ll work with her on defense!”

“Kaminari, can you and I help her with offense?” Midoriya asked him.

“Of course!” Kaminari replied, full of energy.

“Wait, what does that leave me?!” Bakugou screamed in your face.

“How about battle strategy?” You shrugged, a sadistic glint in your eye. “Or are you not smart enough to do that, sensei?”

“Hmph! I’ll teach you how to become the best!”

“Better than you?”

“Of course not, stupid! But you can’t learn the best unless it comes from the best, so you better be grateful!”

You laughed, switching your hand into its five-fingered form and rubbing the back of your neck. “Of course, how could I forget?”

Training went smoothly and, more importantly, was a lot of fun. Mindscape was useful when it came to reading attacks early, being able to dodge and then moving in quickly once you spotted an opening. Eventually, Todoroki walked in too and apologized for being late. The fire and ice wielder got to work with you on quickly switching between the different modes of your hand, deciding when to use the gun for long-range attacks and the fist or blade for close combat.

After almost two full hours of training, you spontaneously decided now was the time.

“Hey,” you paused, looking around at every one of your friends. “I’m leaving,” you blatantly stated, catching them off guard.

Kirishima froze. “You’re what?”

“The hell does that mean, idiot?” Bakugou grunted in succession.

“Leaving to where?” Todoroki said, giving you a funny look.

“Thank you all for everything, but,” you sighed at the ground and then locked eyes with Midoriya, “I was told to leave UA.”

After breaking the news to all of them, you waited until evening to tell the rest of Class 1-A about being excommunicated from UA High. You thanked the group for being so friendly and supportive of you.

You just hoped they’d continue being supportive when learning about your next move.

“But it’ll be okay,” you said right after going over everything, standing up from the couch and placing both hands on your hips. “Because you all have your Hero Work-Studies and stuff, so everyone’s going to be pretty busy. I want to stay busy too, so in one month I turn eighteen and am gonna find out if Tartarus is hiring!”

The entire class stared at you in awe, Mineta dropping his tea on the carpet. “Huh?!”

Tips to Succeed in Running a Restaurant

The restaurant business is highly susceptible to economic downturns. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic caused a huge number of eateries to close due to customers facing movement restrictions and financial strains. Running a successful restaurant requires considering various aspects and learning how to survive.

Success hinges on a good business plan backed by research and strategic decision-making. When opening a business, leveraging publicly available intelligence in social spaces, online resources, and in the field can help entrepreneurs determine an ideal location for the venture and the right customers. Defining the restaurant concept and creating a comprehensive operational road map - encompassing management, marketing, and financial objectives - are essential in launching a viable venture.

Following planning, hiring a high-performing team possessing people skills is essential to deliver the best customer service. The team should understand the restaurant's goals and mission, align with its values, and be willing to precisely follow directions and protocols. Empowering employees through training and fostering a culture that recognizes individual strengths, such as leadership skills and the ability to innovate, allows restaurant owners to capitalize on these strengths to drive operational efficiency and business growth.

Menu development is critical, and should align with the target demographic. For example, а campus sushi restaurant's menu can focus on sushi rolls, sashimi, and other basic Japanese-inspired dishes. The restaurant should prioritize consistency, freshness, and diverse flavor profiles to enhance customer satisfaction and encourage repeat visits. Unless operating а high-end restaurant, the menu should be simple to maintain affordability and minimize errors associated with preparing complex dishes.

While signaling high demand - and sometimes high quality - long queues or waiting times can deter customers. To ensure a seamless guest experience, some establishments train staff to expedite the dining process, from order-taking to food preparation. Others have online reservations (where guests book in advance) and table management systems, providing information on availability. Many restaurants now also offer online ordering and delivery services, a strategy that took hold during the pandemic.

Digital tech is an integral growth catalyst restaurant owners should leverage. Modern point-of-sale and queue management systems employ predictive analysis to break down customer ordering patterns and identify the point at which queues start to irritate customers. This insight informs strategic decisions. Automated systems streamline time-sensitive tasks, such as order processing and staff scheduling, and improve speed and efficiency. Further, data intelligence enables efficient resource allocation and inventory management and provides valuable insights to improve the customer experience.

Financial resilience is key in the restaurant industry. Given seasonal fluctuations and inevitable economic downturns, maintaining a six-month operational expense reserve is advisable. This reserve ensures continuity in payroll and supplier obligations. Moreover, prudent measures like strict cash management, cutting unnecessary costs, and building strong relationships with suppliers and stakeholders can help a restaurant survive economic challenges.

Rather than lowering prices during tough periods, restaurants can create limited-time promotions and special events offering discounted rates. Permanently reducing prices undermines the value of menu items, making it challenging to return to the original pricing after conditions have returned to normal. Also, successful restaurant owners show that they value their employees by limiting job cuts and instead reducing staffing hours during tough times.

Restaurants can remain profitable by working with professionals such as accountants to monitor expenditures, identify areas of waste, and guide the business in enacting the necessary control measures. These experts can also help restaurants optimize pricing strategies, manage tax obligations, and ensure adherence to industry regulations. Marketing professionals, on the other hand, can aid with brand promotion, attracting new customers, and recruiting top talent.

“I am a private investigator. My firm was hired by Columbia University to conduct an investigation into an unauthorized meeting that took place on March 24 at Q House. I believe it’s called ‘Resistance 101,’” the investigator said in the voicemail, which Spectator obtained. “They asked us to look into the matter and see if any of the instances pose a threat to any of the faculty, staff, or students. So we were just looking for your assistance. I believe the University is requiring your cooperation.”

The private investigator identified himself in the voicemail and was also named in emails from Holloway to students. He has worked for the investigations and forensic accounting firm Renaissance Associates since February 2023, according to his LinkedIn page.

Renaissance Associates’ website states that the firm “works with clients to develop an effective surveillance strategy” and “employs experienced surveillance teams equipped with advanced technology.” It also reads that “former law enforcement agents” sit on some of their teams.

A Renaissance Associates spokesperson declined to comment. The spokesperson did not confirm or deny that Columbia hired the firm for its investigation into “Resistance 101.”

Shuman attended “Resistance 101” but was not involved in its planning or organizing, he said. He said he didn’t know the event was unsanctioned by the University until after it occurred and that he complied with the investigation because he felt he had “nothing to hide.”

During his meeting with private investigators, Shuman said they showed him security footage of himself standing outside of Q House, an LGBTQ residence hall on campus where “Resistance 101” was held. The private investigators showed photos of different students from security footage and asked Shuman to identify them, he said. He said he told them that he didn’t recognize the other students in the photos.

In June, Shuman was found “not responsible” for any charges related to “Resistance 101” through a separate disciplinary process under the Center for Student Success and Intervention, he said. Despite the dropped charges, Shuman said he continues to feel surveilled by the University.

“I feel like I’m always on my toes. You know, if I see Public Safety, I got my eye on them. If I see the police anywhere near campus, I have my eye on them. It’s just a very uneasy feeling to even be living in Columbia residential still. I don’t feel comfortable,” Shuman said. “I try to not go on campus as much as possible.”
