Code: July Day 4 - AU

I don't think this one requires much extra explanation, except for the fact that, in my head, this doesn't actually solve nearly as many problems as one would expect, because fate's cruel and life's complicated and just because someone wants to help doesn't mean they're always good at it.

Also, I'm gonna come back around to the art swap prompt later because I'm going the in universe route and my current idea would require me to research French classic rock.

...

The first time Jim sees it, he very nearly chucks his attendance clipboard clean across the field in shock.

It happens while he's taking roll for the tenth-grade co-ed class, out on the track and field on an unusually warm spring day. He'd just been calling out names, idly letting his gaze run over the students present, when it had frozen him mid-list.

Annie Courtemanche. Day student, wanted to be a gymnast back since sixième but had recently changed her tune to wanting to become a dancer, even pushing for a club which he'd been all for signing off on.

He happens to glance over her when she thinks he isn't paying attention, and catches her staring at the ground with narrowed eyes. Her eyes are normally a very striking light green, so it's even more obvious that something is horribly wrong.

Jim can't see the sign they'd talked about from this distance, but it almost looks like her pupil has shrunk to a pinprick without an iris, the whites of her eyes almost too pure a white, flickering like television static.

"...Courtemanche?" he calls.

She raises her head and her eyes are normal again, just like that--Jim might've written it off as his imagination, but knowing what it actually meant, he couldn't possibly brush it off. It was too...eerie and wrong for him to have made it up, anyway.

"Here," she replies with all of her usual enthusiasm. She even sounds completely normal.

"Right..." Jim tries to ease up his sudden vice-grip on the clipboard. Good grief, it was like he was on the front line. He wonders where Class 4e-A is right now, but he can't recall their schedule off the top of his head. He'll just have to wing it.

It's an hour-long period, mostly devoted to stretches and stamina training. Courtemanche immediately falls over and complains that she'd torn something and had to go to the infirmary, despite being more than accustomed to these warmups.

(Belpois had tried that same trick not long ago, with really awful acting. Given he'd immediately asked Aelita to accompany him, Jim had simply assumed it was a pressing matter and had let him get away with it.

But Jim was on high alert for the students abusing his generosity, and upon seeing Belpois skulking back to his room in the middle of the day without so much as a limp, had confronted him about his "twisted ankle" healing up strangely fast.

It was meant to be mostly a joke, a prompt for him to explain what had actually happened, but Belpois had stared at Jim with a look of absolute confusion. Then, his eyes had widened and his expression turned absolutely stricken--he'd slammed his door in Jim's face without a word.

By the time Jim got back to his room, he'd received a painfully clinical e-mail describing the situation, and he cursed himself because he'd already managed to fail these kids he'd decided he was going to try and protect as best he could.)

"Let me see it," Jim tells Courtemanche, jogging over. "I know a thing or two about this, myself."

Her face twists for half a second, but she dutifully holds out her leg, though jerks it back when he tries to feel her ankle. "Don't touch it! It hurts!"

("Victims seem to be altered down to the molecular level," the e-mail had said. "My theory is that they are, essentially, converted partially intro electomagnetic fields. We know they have very little mass, and apparently their skin does not feel like a human's at all.")

Jim plays stupid. "Looks just fine to me. Hey, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to get out of class before we even got started!"

He chuckles heartily and ignores the other students' strange looks. He heads back to the other side of the field, and sure enough, Courtemanche gets up on her own a few seconds later. He feels her eyes--not her eyes--burning into the back of his head.

She tries the same sort of trick several more times throughout the period with increasing intensity--it's too hot, she feels sick to her stomach, she fell on the track. The real Courtemanche was physically healthy as a horse and refused to let anything stop her from training. It's hard to deflect all of her attempts, and he suspects some of the other students think he's being some kind of heartless tyrant denying help to a sick student. He can't afford to worry about that right now, he just has to keep her here for as long as he possibly can.

Eventually, the bell rings and he calls the period, the kids beginning to disperse. Courtemanche abruptly turns towards the school building.

"Courtemanche!" Jim calls out before he can think. Her shoulders visibly stiffen. He has to come up with the rest of the sentence on his feet. "I, uh, may I speak to you in private, briefly? Don't worry, you're not in trouble."

"But--I promised to meet someone at lunch...!"

Jim waves a hand dismissively. "I won't keep you long. Come on."

The other kids stare and mutter amongst each other, but after a few seconds of gawking, the clarion call of food wins out. The other kids walk away, and then it's just the two of them.

Come on, Jimbo, you've faced scarier than this.

Courtemanche shuffles up to him, rubbing her elbow with the opposite hand. "I don't know what this is about, but I really do need to go."

Now he has to come up with a reason to keep her talking. "Do you?"

"What?"

"Come on, walk with me."

She follows him to the track with very noticeable reluctance, but at least she is still following. Time for him to prove his mettle.

"Now, I understand that passions can come and go over time."

"...Huh?"

"Let me finish. You've been working real hard lately, and I respect that, it's one of those things that makes me think you're really gonna make it out there, you know? But I can't help but notice you seem to be falling off the proverbial horse, uh, so to speak. In athleticism as much as in creative pursuits, burnout is a real concern, especially coming out of the honeymoon phase of a new skill. You learn and train and make progress, and then you hit a wall, and you ask yourself do I really want to do this? You get tired! Browbeaten! But if you keep throwing yourself against that wall forever, you're not gonna break through before you hurt something, you hear?"

"Um..." Courtemanche looks so confused Jim almost wonders if he'd been wrong this whole time. "I think you have the wrong idea..."

("Victims are capable of behaving in a manner very reminiscent of their normal selves. This is because the victim remains intact and aware, albeit in an altered state of consciousness. They can still carry out XANA's instructions without the direct intervention of the spectral agent."

Jim had read those words twice to process them, then glanced towards his door into the boys' hall. Belpois was speaking from experience.)

...His blood starts to boil at the memory. He takes a deep breath. Not now. Don't break now. "Maybe so! But given your behavior today, it is still something I want to bring up. You're..." He scratches his head. "You're a tough kid, Annie. Determined. You're a fighter."

("They cannot be reasoned with or dissuaded, but there is some potential ability to delay themselves with conflicting signals to the nervous system if they attempt to regain control of their body.")

"I don't think you'd let this take you down so easily--burnout, that is. You're smarter than that."

Jim catches movement out of the corner of his eye. He turns his head just in time to see a blurry blue shape sprinting for the path into the park, a purple one just behind him. Courtemanche had stopped walking for a moment, but he catches her looking in the same direction.

She abruptly checks her watch. "I won't, you're worried over nothing. I have to go."

Courtemanche shoves him slightly in the arm, but it's not enough for him to lose his center of gravity, and when she pivots to walk away, he manages to grab her shoulder.

It feels like putting your hand in front of one of those old CRT televisions, that sort of fuzzy sensation.

"Not so fast!"

It comes out louder and harsher than he'd meant for it to, and he can tell by the way she--it--goes visibly rigid. Its free fist clenches tight at its side.

In one smooth motion, she turns on her heel and faces him.

This time, he sees the sign clearly--along with the hateful, yet somehow empty glare that does not belong on her face.

"...Jim?"

Jim blinks. He's lying on the track, cheek stinging with road burn and nose full of the smell of burnt hair. "Uh...?" He blinks several more times, trying to recall how he'd wound up on the ground. Had he passed out? What time is it?

"Jim, are you all right?"

It's not the same voice that had called his name earlier, and he drags himself into a sitting position, rubbing at his stinging cheek and glancing over to the sources.

It hits him like a ton of bricks.

"S-Striker! Puma!"

Stern and Della Robbia both give each other a look and roll their eyes. None of them seem to have taken to Jim's call signs too well--oh, well, they'd come around eventually, that wasn't important.

Jim scrambles to his feet. "It's--Annie Courtemanche, she--!"

"We know." Stern grimaces and rubs at his shoulder. Jim notices his sleeve is burnt in several places. "Trust me, we know. She cut the elevator cables and Spidermanned down the shaft."

Della Robbia whistles. "Whoof, you got on the wrong side of her too?"

He points in the vague direction of Jim's face, and Jim rubs his stinging cheek. Now that he's more conscious, he's fairly certain it isn't just road burn. "She kept trying to cut out of class," Jim mutters. "I tried to stop her..."

"You really didn't have to," Stern says, brows furrowed.

"No, no, I did!" Jim tries to pull himself up to his usual level of swagger. "For my honor as your protector!"

"...Uh-huh."

"Well, I appreciate it," Della Robbia quips, digging around in his pocket and pulling out his phone. "We still somehow scraped by just in time again. I feel like I've been run over."

"From what Aelita says, you were run over."

"Only a little bit!" Della Robbia raises his phone to his ear, other hand on his hip. "...Hey, Jeremie! Yeah, Jim's fine, he just got a little zippity-zap. We still doing the thing?"

"We wanted to warn you before we went back," Stern explains.

"Eh? Are you sure you want to do that?"

Stern shrugs. "The elevator's totally busted and there's no way we'd be able to fix it ourselves. Besides, Jeremie's probably got a concussion and Yumi fell off one of the rafters."

Jim's fists clench. This kind of thing is what keeps him doing this, despite the personal and legal risks to himself--they talk about getting attacked and almost dying like it's an annoyance, like it's bad food at the cafeteria or a spot of rain. These are teenagers, they should be worrying about girls or sports or test results, not this.

He doesn't know what sort of thing this XANA is, going after children like this, over and over and over. He'd like to give it a piece of his own mind, but that's not something he can actually do himself.

"...Okay, see ya this morning, Einstein," Della Robbia chirps, hanging up the phone. "T-minus one minute, we're going to just before breakfast. At least I'm gonna know to go for the sausage seconds early this time."

"And that means I'll be allowed to eat mine without you giving me horrible ugly puppy dog eyes, right?"

"Hehe, no promises! And they're very handsome puppy dog eyes, thank you very much!"

It absolutely boggles Jim's mind how these two can talk so casually after something like this, and that just makes him angrier. They're used to it. Belpois had said they'd been doing this for no less than a year by the time he'd found out about it, and now things only seem to be getting worse for them. They shouldn't be used to it. It's not fair.

They don't know the depth of the situation they've put him in, really. They don't know what kind of hot water he might be in if he gets found out in all this. But he's willing to do it because who else will, because someone has to know, someone has to keep them from running themselves into the ground.

The world slows to a crawl and then turns white. Jim's stomach briefly attempts to vacate his chest cavity.

Jim's in the cafeteria, just finishing up early breakfast at the faculty table. He doesn't even wait for the disorientation to pass before excusing himself and heading into the courtyard.

(There's no point to it, he knows, everything is fine now. But that doesn't stop him from wanting to check on Annie Courtmanche anyway.)

“Propaganda is as powerful as heroin; it surreptitiously dissolves all capacity to think.” ― Gil Courtemanche, A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali

[bofeiham]

E-cigarettes emerged decades ago, but in recent years, the user population has grown exponentially. This phenomenon is not accidental, and there is a lack of standards related to e-cigarette dependency. As a high-risk group for e-cigarette use, understanding the usage patterns among university students is crucial for developing effective e-cigarette prevention and control strategies.

In recent years, due to restrictions in laws and regulations and related publicity, the dangers of traditional cigarettes—such as tar, carbon monoxide, and their impact on health, along with their unpleasant odor—have become well known. As a result, new alternatives have emerged. The market for traditional cigarettes is increasingly being squeezed by e-cigarettes.

Vaping vs Traditional cigarettes, polices and relations

According to a study by Pesko, Courtemanche, and Maclean (2019), by 2017, 14.0% of adults in the United States smoked traditional cigarettes, while 2.8% used e-cigarettes. Although e-cigarettes are less toxic than traditional cigarettes, their value as a smoking cessation alternative in public health remains controversial. Policymakers face a dilemma: while increasing e-cigarette taxes may reduce overall nicotine consumption, it could also hinder smokers from switching to this safer alternative. As of 2018, 15 states in the U.S. had restricted e-cigarette use in public places, and 9 states had imposed sales taxes on e-cigarettes. Furthermore, changes in traditional cigarette taxes have led to a dual effect: directly reducing adult smoking rates and daily smoking rates by 0.3 and 0.4 percentage points, respectively; while indirectly increasing e-cigarette usage rates, with the current usage rate increasing by 0.3 percentage points and the daily usage rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. This data indicates a clear substitution relationship between traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes.

Advertising affect consumers vaping tendency

While promoting product usage, e-cigarette advertising has in fact generated multiple negative effects that have drawn widespread attention in the field of public health (Yang et al., 2024). Research indicates that through carefully designed marketing strategies, e-cigarette advertisements deliberately downplay the potential health risks of the products, creating a false image of being "trendy," "harmless," or even "beneficial to health," which has seriously misled the public, particularly adolescent groups.

The study by Yang et al. (2024) points out that, in terms of behavioral impact, e-cigarette advertisements not only fail to deliver on their claimed "smoking cessation assistance" function but actually produce the opposite effect. The promotion of e-cigarettes as a "safer alternative" in advertisements reduces smokers' motivation to quit, keeping them dependent on nicotine. More alarmingly, these ads are particularly effective at inducing adolescents and non-smokers to start using e-cigarettes, creating a new population of nicotine-dependent individuals.

The research also found that, in terms of dissemination methods, e-cigarette advertisements exploit social media platforms and visually appealing designs to deliberately circumvent the restrictions placed on traditional tobacco advertising (Yang et al., 2024). Image-dominated ad formats effectively evoke emotional resonance, while the viral nature of social media amplifies peer imitation effects, leading to the rapid spread of e-cigarette use among adolescent groups.

From a public health perspective, the study by Yang et al. (2024) demonstrates that e-cigarette advertising has caused significant cognitive biases. The emphasis on "harm reduction" in advertisements leads consumers to underestimate the actual risks of e-cigarettes, overlooking nicotine addiction and potential long-term health hazards. This distortion of risk perception not only affects individual health decisions but also negatively impacts the overall public health environment.

These findings indicate (Yang et al., 2024) that the current e-cigarette advertising model presents serious ethical issues and public health risks, urgently necessitating stricter regulatory measures to standardize ad content. Particular emphasis should be placed on protecting adolescents and non-smokers to ensure the public receives comprehensive and accurate information about the risks of e-cigarettes.

E-cigaretts=less harmful?

E-cigarettes, heavily marketed by manufacturers and distributors with enticing and warning label-free advertisements, have attracted many users under the guise of being healthy and convenient. Research shows that using nicotine vaping products (NVPs) exposes users to potentially harmful chemicals, including irritants to the respiratory tract and carcinogens. Due to unregulated nicotine concentrations, appealing flavors, and nicotine salt formulations that can quickly deliver nicotine, these products have a high potential for addiction, which may lead to nicotine dependence. Studies indicate that the use of NVPs is associated with an increase in the frequency of use of other tobacco products and that e-cigarettes may increase the likelihood of users transitioning to smoking (Trigg et al., 2023). This podcast will unveil the true nature of e-cigarettes and interpret the phenomenon of e-cigarette popularity, especially among adolescents and on college campuses.

Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of E-Cigarettes vs. Traditional Smoking: Health Risks, Mechanisms, and Societal Impact

In recent years, e-cigarettes (vaping) have rapidly gained popularity as an alternative nicotine delivery system, with proponents claiming they are safer than traditional cigarettes and even aid in smoking cessation. However, growing evidence suggests that e-cigarettes are not harmless and may pose unique health risks. This information, based on a 2023 review published in the Journal of Respirology, provides a detailed analysis of the health effects, toxicological mechanisms, societal acceptance, and future regulatory directions for e-cigarettes compared to traditional smoking.

Background and Controversy

Global Smoking Trends: Traditional smoking remains a major public health issue. From 1990 to 2019, the number of smokers worldwide increased from 990 million to 1.14 billion, with smoking-related diseases (e.g., lung cancer, COPD, stroke) expected to continue rising.

- Rapid Growth of E-Cigarettes: Since their introduction in 2004, e-cigarettes have become widely popular, especially among youth. For example:

- 18% of U.S. adolescents use e-cigarettes (Oliver et al., 2021).

- High usage rates in European countries like France (6%), Poland (6%), and the Netherlands (5.9%) (Bello, 2023).

- A study in Saudi Arabia found that 12.2% of medical students use e-cigarettes (Habib et al., 2020).

Key Controversies

- Proponents' Claims:

- E-cigarettes contain no tar and produce fewer combustion byproducts, making them "safer" than traditional cigarettes.

- They may serve as a smoking cessation tool, helping users gradually reduce nicotine intake.

- Opponents' Concerns:

- E-cigarettes still contain nicotine, which is addictive and may serve as a "gateway" to smoking for youth.

- Chemicals in e-liquids (e.g., vitamin E acetate, diacetyl, metal particles) may cause unique lung injuries (e.g., EVALI).

- Long-term health effects remain unclear, and it may take decades to fully assess their carcinogenic potential.

Health Risks of Traditional Smoking

- Major Disease Associations

Cancer:

- Lung Cancer: Smokers have a 7-fold higher risk (RR = 7.33 for men, 6.99 for women) (O’Keeffe et al., 2018).

- Other Cancers: Smoking also increases risks for oral, laryngeal, esophageal, and bladder cancers.

Respiratory Diseases:

- COPD: Smoking is the leading cause of chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

- Reduced Lung Perfusion: Smokers exhibit decreased pulmonary blood flow (Nyilas et al., 2022), impairing oxygen exchange.

Cardiovascular Diseases:

- Stroke: Each additional 5 cigarettes per day raises stroke risk by 12% (Pan et al., 2019).

- Hypertension & Atherosclerosis: Nicotine constricts blood vessels, while carbon monoxide damages endothelial function.

Pregnancy Complications:

- Preterm Birth & Low Birth Weight: Smoking during pregnancy increases fetal growth restriction risks (Hamadneh et al., 2021).

- Neonatal Nicotine Withdrawal: May cause irritability and feeding difficulties in newborns.

Toxic Mechanisms

- Nicotine: Stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure.

- carbon Monoxide (CO): Binds to hemoglobin, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues.

- Tar & Carcinogens: Contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrosamines, which damage DNA and promote mutations.

Health Risks of E-Cigarettes

-Acute Lung Injury (EVALI)

- Clinical Presentation:

- Symptoms include dyspnea, dry cough, and fever; severe cases require intubation (Aftab et al., 2019).

- CT scans show bilateral ground-glass opacities (Callaghan et al., 2022).

- Mechanisms:

- Vitamin E Acetate: Disrupts lung surfactant, causing alveolar collapse (Blount et al., 2020).

-Diacety : A flavoring agent linked to bronchiolitis obliterans("popcorn lung") (White et al., 2021).

Other Health Risks

1. Respiratory Irritation:

- Propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) may trigger coughing and bronchoconstriction (Chun et al., 2017).

2. Metal Exposure:

- Heating coils release chromium, nickel, and lead, posing risks for:

- Neurotoxicity (lead, manganese).

- Lung Cancer (chromium, nickel).

- Cardiovascular Disease(cadmium).

3. Youth Addiction:

- Sweet flavors (e.g., fruit, candy) attract adolescents, potentially leading to traditional smoking (Dinardo & Rome, 2019).

E-Cigarettes vs. Traditional Smoking: Direct Comparison

| Aspect | Traditional Smoking | E-Cigarettes | Conclusion 】

| Health Risks | Lung cancer, COPD, stroke, CVD | EVALI, bronchiolitis obliterans, metal toxicity | Traditional smoking risks are well-documented, but e-cigarettes may have underestimated long-term effects. |

| Toxicants | Tar, CO, nitrosamines | Vitamin E acetate, diacetyl, PG, metal particles | E-cigarettes lack tar but contain unique toxins, with some metals exceeding traditional cigarette levels. |

| Environment | Secondhand smoke, cigarette litter | Battery waste, aerosolized metals | E-cigarettes eliminate secondhand smoke but introduce new pollution challenges. |

Social Perception | Increasingly restricted | Marketed as "cool tech," appealing to youth | E-cigarettes risk normalizing nicotine use among adolescents.

---E-cigarettes are not a safe alternative: Despite claims of reduced harm, emerging evidence links them to acute lung injuries and metal toxicity.

Urgent regulation needed: Precautionary measures must be taken to avoid repeating the public health crisis caused by traditional smoking.

Protect youth: The rise of e-cigarette use among adolescents demands immediate intervention to prevent a new wave of nicotine addiction.

This review highlights that while e-cigarettes may lack some harmful components of traditional cigarettes (e.g., tar), they introduce new risks such as EVALI, metal exposure, and adolescent addiction. Long-term health effects remain uncertain, necessitating stricter regulations and public awareness campaigns. Policymakers must balance harm reduction for adult smokers with preventing a new generation of nicotine dependence.

By • Olalekan Fagbade   MLS: Messi facing punishment after Inter Miami’s 2-0 win over New York Bulls   Inter Miami superstar, Lionel Messi, may face punishment following his MLS debut for the club. Messi scored the second goal as they beat New York Bulls 2-0 on Saturday night. But the World Cup winner did not speak with reporters after that game. The 36-year-old could now find himself in hot water as a result, with MLS rules dictating that players have to be made available for interview at the end of games. The division’s executive vice president of communications, Dan Courtemanche, had confirmed as much prior to a ball being kicked in New York. But Miami spokeswoman Molly Dreska revealed after the game that Messi would not be facing the press, which leaves him in violation of MLS regulations #InterMiami #Messi #MLS

↘     𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄  𝐍𝐎𝐓  𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓  𝐀𝐑𝐄  𝐘𝐎𝐔  ?  𝐈𝐌  𝐒𝐎  𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐘  !   ﹕        for    lila     ,     from    aspen   .

 the  walk,  aspen  soon  enough  comes  to  find  out,  happens  to  be  rather  boring.  sure,  the  flowers  look  pretty  -  but  they  look  as  pretty  as  they  did  yesterday.  her  gaze  lays  on  the  greenhouse  at  the  far  end  of  the  rather  large  gardens:  her  end  goal,  where  she  often  spends  most  of  her  days.  still,  today,  she  finds  herself  hoping  for  more.  today,  there  is  a  guest!  a  very  tall,  quite  beautiful  guest!

gods,  apsen  hopes  that  she  is  making  a  good  impression!

not  that  it  matters,  anyways.  she  knows  that  things  like  good  impressions  are  rather  trivial  when  it  comes  to  her.  she  is  the  princess  of  aurevia,  she  is  a  courtemanche:  that  her  first  impression.  one  that  will  follow  her  up  until  she  breathes  her  last  breath.

the  breath  that  does  fly  past  her  lips  isn't  her  last,  but  it  is  sharp  and  filled  with  surprise.  "did  they  not  teach  you  how  to  walk  in  that  knight  school  of  yours?"  she  asks  once  fully  pulled  out  of  her  reveries,  and  while  it  should  sound  terribly  rude,  she  somehow  makes  it  sound  light  and  playful.  her  hands  against  her  dress  are  as  soft  as  her  tone,  attempting  to  get  rid  of  any  crease  that  might  have  formed.

"maybe  this  is  a  sign  that  you  should  walk  closer!  you  don't  have  to  be  so  far.  .  .  how  would  that  work,  anyway?  what  if  someone  attacks  me  from  there?"  she  halts  in  her  steps,  pointing  at  an  empty  bush.  "or  there."  she  adds,  pointing  now  at  the  tree  above  them. 

"huh.  i  guess  that  is  a  rather  good  question  to  ask.  how  would  you  handle  it?  hmm?"

Concept: lesbian noble lady sword fights her suitors, she has to marry the one that wins against her, she never lost.

Her name’s Gabrielle Colette Courtemanche ; ). Not gonna lie making a Night at the Museum oc was a bit of an impulse but it’s fun and no one can stop me

I told my friend, @littlepuffy4ever, that I wanted to make a natm oc cuz I saw a picture of a lady in a 17th century dress and that Gabrielle could have been an LGBT history icon when she was alive and, I kid you not, my friend immediately went ‘SHE COULD BE AMELIA’S GF’ so have also these ladies waltzing and swing dancing
