[ POUR ] ( from istvan )

Rolan has never, in his life, been as desperate for a hot drink as he was now. When Elturel had been dragged down to Avernus he'd sworn he'd drink only cold or even iced beverages the minute they were free. Now, having just managed to find shelter in the middle of a winter storm? The very idea seemed laughable and, if he were to give in to some ludicrous thoughts- Avernus sounded lovely and warm right about now.

"Thank you, truly," the wizard took the mug in both hands, relishing the harsh warmth that spread through his palms and fingers. "This is... exactly what I needed."

[oflolth]

CONTINUED / @starlyht. / " i don't want to talk about it. but please, know that he took nothing that i did not offer freely. " he lowered himself to the ground gingerly, and then remembered that they would need to see about breakfast - though perhaps everyone had eaten while he'd been dead; istvan didn't know - and underwent the arduous process of pushing himself to his feet. the light of the day was never comfortable for istvan, but it seemed over-bright beyond its usual now.

there was also the matter of thanks, which required less energy, and could be seen to pre-breakfast; istvan inclined his head in lex's direction. " thank you. i will not forget this. and i am sorry it became your burden to bear. " his eyes, which had managed to meet lex's for a moment or two, now sought the ground - in part out of sheepishness, but the sun, too, was a factor. " i would appreciate your keeping this between us, provided there is still any secret left to keep. now, to begin the day - have you eaten? "

Judith Barsi:Sweet Child O’ Mine

-On July 25th, 1988, Judith Barsi and her mother were murdered by her father in a double murder-suicide. This followed years of horrific abuse at the hands of her father.

-Judith Eva Barsi was born June 6th, 1978 to  Jozsef Istvan Barsi and Maria Virovacz. Her mother began guiding her towards a movie career, and she would often teach her about posture and poise. Her career as a child star began at the young age of five, when she was spotted in an ice skating rink. Her first role was in the film Fatal Vision, and she played Kimberley Mcdonald.  She starred in as many as 72 commercials during her life. She is most famously known as the voice of Ducky in the film The Land Before Time.  Her father, Jozsef, was described as a hard drinker with a violent temper. Following the family’s move into a 3 bedroom house in the West Hills area of Hollywood in 1985, the cracks began to show. Judith’s mother filed a police report in 1986, accusing him of threatening to kill her, choking her, and hitting her in the face. Unfortunately, due to a lack of physical injuries, the report was dropped. This would prove to be a microcosmic example of the horrors to come. Before Judith left to film Jaws:The Revenge, Jozsef threatened her with a knife, saying “If you decide not to come back, I will cut your throat.” In addition, he said “Remember what I told you before you left.” When Judith returned, the abuse continued. On one occasion, Maria bought Judith a kite, which Barsi broke into pieces after calling her a “spoilt brat”. She was under so much stress that she plucked out her eyebrows and her cat’s whiskers. Following the incident with the police report, Jozsef allegedly threw pots and pans at Judith, causing a nosebleed. All this abuse culminated on July 25th, 1988, when Jozsef shot Judith and Maria before turning the gun himself. 

Pictured:Judith, her parents, and her tombstone.

This case bothers me, and I was hesitant to cover it. However, I feel it needs to be discussed, as it shines a light on the horrors of child abuse and the necessity of CPS and social services. May Judith and her mother rest in peace.

1. The Principle of Sufficient Reason was developed independently by Descartes, Leibniz and Jourdain.

2. M. Istvan claimed the only reason most people are aware of his theory of Consciousness is because it was an inspiration for the Star Trek: TNG episode "Conscience of Mars," which depicted a "Transporter" which successfully re-traveled someone's consciousness from the past to the future.

3. The "uncanny valley" refers to the fact that objects that appear "too human" to us look "complete anatomically" to neural networks.

"Uncanny" first appeared in print in the essay "A New Heavens" in the first edition of Bertrand Russell's Logical Positivist collection. The word was popularized by the 2001 movie "The Unsettling," although it was a popular concept in 19th and early 20th century philosophy.

Cryonics And Legal Quandary

By Chris Louis-Jacques, Kennesaw State University Class of 2021

September 2, 2020

A taste of immortality is no longer a thing of fiction. Scattered across the world rest hundreds of frozen brains and bodies who strive to be resuscitated at a future date; this peculiar process is completed through the staggering practice of Cryonics.Cryonics is the low temperature freezing and storage of a human body or severed head, with the hope that resurrection may be achievable in the future.To further clarify, they exist in a state of deep cooling called cryopreservation and have entered a frigid slumber after their hearts cease beating [4]. Before all of their cells die, the tissues of their brains were suspended using an ice-free process called vitrification [4]. Every patient is legally deceased, but if they could speak, they would likely argue that their remains do not constitute dead bodies at all. Rather, in a sense, it is a state of unconsciousness [4]. Cryonics is regarded with skepticism within the conventional scientific community because of the unproven result of a resuscitated patient thus far. Moreover, criticism has also centered along the fact that once a patient is resuscitated, their past comprehension of reality will be a thing of fiction. Thus, the patient will have to consider how much time has passed, will they retain their possessions, and to what extent has their sociopolitical atmosphere changed into [4]. Although, as time passes, every Cryonic institution takes a step closer to this immortal potentiality and develop new strategies to accommodate for those cogent uncertainties.

A look into the Cryonic Institute’s (one of ten cryonic organizations) webpage reveals the monetary requirements that one must have to be cryogenically preserved. Annual Membership cost for Human Cryonic Suspension is $35,000. A Lifetime Member's cost is $28,000 [5].

The ubiquitous awareness of this phenomenon is slowly circulating into societies across the world. With slightly under 200 patients who have already commenced their prolonged drowse, and well over 1,500 members, Cryonic Institute is steadily growing their empire of immortality [6].

Thus, one’s scrutiny of the expenditure required would lead them to believe that this process is only an affair of the elite. Although, kindred Cryonic organization, Alcor, introduces an alternative route. In regard to the preservation of a whole body, Max More, CEO of the Scottsdale-based Alcor, declared the stipulation be, “a minimum of $200,000, which isn't as much as it sounds, because most people pay with life insurance"[2]. Therefore, various monetary plans can be administrated for the varying candidates. Elaine Walker, 47, is a single mother and part-time college instructor at Scottsdale Community College and she signed up to have her head frozen by Alcor following her demise. Walker, having just finished college, initially deduced that cryonics was too costly for her budget. Fortuitously for her, the company shifted to permit front-funding requirements with life insurance policies [2]. Wilson was then left with a measly monthly payment of $14 in life insurance and an annual $600 towards Alcor’s membership fees [2].  

Moreover, this new technological phenomenon has been met with legal quandary that rebukes this unprecedented process. The first legal case to grab national attention was when JS(name remains omitted by the wishes of the family), a terminally ill 14-year-old who desired and eventually acquired approval from the High Court to have her body cryopreserved following her demise, in aspiration that she will resuscitate and join humanity once again [1]. This unprecedented event gained attention because Cryonics is still a concept of mere theory until a patient is finally reanimated in the future. The conflict arose when her father condemned her wishes, but, as a response, JS launched a legal challenge that declared her mother should be allowed to decide what to do with her body following her demise [1].Furthermore, JS, being too ill to attend court, wrote a letter armed with a sincere rhetoric to properly inform the court members of her plight, “I am only 14 years old and I don't want to die, but I know I am going to die. I think being cryopreserved gives me a chance to be cured and woken up — even in hundreds of years' time.I want to live and live longer, and I think that in the future they may find a cure for my cancer and wake me up” [1].Judge Peter Jackson presided over the case; he visited JS in the hospitaland ruled in her favor before she faced her demise in October [1].  This ruling was hitherto undreamt of in contemporary time, thus, the judge noted that the case raised issues about cryonic preservation that should construct regulations in the future [1].

Thus, the legality intertwined with Cryonics has certain loopholes that can grant families insurance of their dearly departed wishes. The vast majority of US states do not obey the demands of cryonics contracts [3]. Therefore,cryonicists maneuver this colossal rebuke by signing a Document of Gift, which essentially is a donor’s card that allows you to donate parts of your body [3]. This document is accepted in nearly all 50 states[3]. With stories such as JS’s and Elaine Walker’s, various payment options, and the widespread recognition of this technological marvel, legal regulations are inevitable to appear in the coming future.

@vlaakithswill / he knows what it to be foreign to a purpose that was built with them in mind, a purpose that built them - but the commonality only occurs to him now. if only he knew a way to convey it.

yet commonality has never been of particular comfort. the crèche stands in evidence. he'd carried through it in a daze. most of him thought normalcy, though under the surface and refracted in ways that render examination difficult ran something else. not pity - to pity lae'zel would be to pity himself, and he does not.

pity is a further impossibility because he can't view her from on high - though he is noble, that has always been nothing more than a technicality where istvan is concerned. nathbryn is noble; istvan exists as a novelty. not quite a brother, not quite a family pet. he would be lae'zel's soldier, if she would want him. a fool's dream.

( does he belong anywhere? is he still a child of lolth? was he ever a child of lolth? there are times he doubts his eyes are red. )

istvan, in limbo, watches lae'zel plant her feet on solid ground. " you are still a soldier. your skill still unmatched, your blade still sharp. only the belonging has changed. "

there is truth in his words. she has nearly met death a score of different ways since their paths first crossed, when fate ordained their miserable commonality. she does not intend to die at his side — even now, bound for rot, lae'zel refuses to conceptualize this final defeat. her determination against the parasite in her brain is akin to a leather strap between her teeth.

yet she wonders, and doesn't know, whether she can still call herself a soldier. she is unmoored from any army, an enemy of her people. her purpose, infinitesimal, now ends where she does.

she had thought herself unchangeable, yet she cannot deny she is changed.

"i was vlaakith's soldier," lae'zel snaps. her ire is not directed at istvan, though her glare is. (lae'zel's ire is merely a fact of her, like a system of weather; the air around her head may as well crackle.) "no longer do i serve her will."

as to whom she will feed her allegiance now, lae'zel knows not. this, too, she grieves in the silence.

I like the 14th episode, the story of ZIMA. The film perfectly shows that the birth and departure of a person is inevitable. Even if it is the advanced life that affects the universe, there is also the day when the soul returns to the hometown.

The blue mystery and classic in the film is a tribute to Yves Klein, who together with Andy Warhol, Duchamp and Boyce are the four masters who contributed the most to world art in the second half of the 20th century...

Yves Klein redefines the blue, called "International Klein Blue" (IKB), with an RGB ratio of 0:47:167, sought after by various luxury or art brands. Even the British royal family specializes in pets.

Unlike the sudden death of ZIMA and Yves Klein, he witnessed his greatness, created a miracle through the universe, and perfectly planned his end, which eternal dissipated in the universe.

@crookedtouch ; spotify wrapped starters.

" now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend- " says istvan, with a put - upon air that is unlike him - but the trouble, really, is not the way astarion is. istvan can understand, at least distantly, what drives a person to act in such a way, even if he himself has never managed it. istvan is of the opinion that he himself is only honest not because of integrity, but because of a lack of ability to go against rules, or against truth, or against anything at all. " i- i am sorry. i am- jealous, i think. i am far better at being lied to than i am at lying. such a skill might have served me well, in the underdark, but it was always... " beyond him. there is something of a mental block he's never been able to break through. " the best i can do by way of lying, i think, is simply keep my mouth shut. i... i am sorry, if i sounded as if i were upset earlier. "
