Maxi and his old crewmates. Kyam and Yagaji are among them, and you just might be able to spot a few of the others in the ending of Maxi’s Soul Chronicle. I recall a Cadena mentioned in SC6, whom I think is either of the two women in this. The most I can find are mentions of her in the relationship charts in Legend of Soulcalibur and in New Legends of Project Soul (spelled “Kadena” though). The latter happens to be my only source for this image (page 47), shrunk-down as it seems to have been. The cropping is... well, that’s how it looked on that page. Style-wise, it looks like it’s from Soulcalibur’s gallery, but it hasn’t turned up in of the slideshows I’ve been able to find on YouTube. I’ve looked through the Soul Archive website via the Wayback Machine before, but no such luck. Even TinEye came up empty for me.

Nearly a year after my last Kyam / Unbidden Audio release, I'm happy to say that UBA-009 will be released on Fri 17th November (Bandcamp), and Fri 1st December (General release) - "Fixations" explores abstract / industrial halftime territory, whilst "Slow Blink" offers contrast via rolling breakbeats, and hypnotic drones. https://unbiddenaudio.bandcamp.com/ Big big thanks to BBC Radio Wales' Adam Walton for the recent airplay support.

A child that faces a bedridden life. A girl with intellectual disabilities raped by a family member. Victims of domestic violence or reproductive coercion. There are a variety of distressing reasons women have later stage terminations.
There is no easy definition of when an abortion is considered “late” or “late-term”. It is generally considered anything after 20 weeks’ gestation, but the states and territories have a patchwork of legislation with various milestones.
What is clear is that later terminations are the new target of anti-abortion activists, now that abortion has been decriminalised across Australia.
On Wednesday South Australia’s upper house voted on legislation that would force women seeking an abortion after 27 weeks and six days – an extremely rare occurrence – to be induced, to deliver the child alive, and keep it or adopt it out.
It was narrowly defeated – nine were in favour and 10 opposed from the 22-person house. The president only casts a deciding vote, while a prominent Liberal critic of the bill, Michelle Lensink, is absent for cancer treatment.
The Liberal frontbencher Ben Hood, who introduced the bill, says the woman’s right to end a pregnancy is kept because the pregnancy ends when the baby is born.
“The innovation of this bill is that it allows a mother to end her pregnancy throughout all nine months and indeed right up to birth,” he says.
The Greens have a different label for it: “forced birth”.
About 1% of all terminations are carried out after 20 weeks.
According to SA Health data gathered in the 18 months after abortion reform in the state, fewer than five terminations were performed after 27 weeks.
Terminations at that point can only be done with the approval of two doctors, and only if it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant person or save another foetus, or poses significant risk of injury or mental health of the pregnant person, or if there is a significant risk of serious foetal anomalies.
Hood said in the upper house on Wednesday night that his bill did not “force birth”. He said any termination at 28 weeks already involved “birth” because women had no other option in how to remove the foetus from the body.
“The only difference is that the baby will have a chance to live,” he said.
He has previously said that, once born, if the baby “isn’t compatible with life”, it would then be given palliative care.
He said on Wednesday night the babies would be admitted to neonatal units, “receiving the best medical attention available if the mother does not wish to keep the baby”.
Adoption would be a compassionate alternative, he said.
Hood indicated on ABC radio that he was not abandoning his mission.
The attorney general, Kyam Maher, says the “Trumpian” bill would wind back abortion care and poses a “real and significant danger, not only to the physical health and safety of all women, but to women’s fundamental right to bodily autonomy”.
He also hit out at the vitriol, nastiness and inflammatory attacks deployed in the campaign.
“I’d encourage those who’ve been involved in this sort of debate to reflect on whether the hyper polarised US style of personal politics really reflects well on SA,” he says.
The bill bears similarities to so-called “born-alive” laws, which have percolated in the US for years. A federal “born alive” bill in Australia was found to have no legal, ethical or medical basis to support it.
The Katter’s Australian party leader, Robbie Katter, has proposed similar legislation in Queensland.
Both Katter and Hood have thanked the anti-abortion activist Joanna Howe for her work on their legislation. Howe wants “an Australia where abortion is unthinkable”.
Hood thanked Howe on Wednesday and said the other people who informed the bill wanted to remain anonymous. Several earlier speakers noted that Hood’s bill was drafted by Howe and anonymous experts while the review that informed decriminalisation involved thousands of experts and many respected institutions who did not remain anonymous, and that it involved months of investigation and a 560-page report.
Abortion has also crept up as a serious issue in the lead-up to the Queensland election after Labor accused the Liberal National party of a “secret plan” to limit abortion rights and the LNP failed to quell the speculation.
The various campaigns have been accused of using misinformation in an attempt to limit access to terminations.
Reasons women might need a late termination include foetal abnormalities, life-threatening conditions, and psycho-social reasons such as the baby being the result of rape or incest.
‘We can’t do this to the baby’
Tiffany’s first baby had spina bifida.
Her baby would have been paralysed from the neck down. She chose a termination. Six years later, Tiffany* was pregnant again. At the 20-week scan, she was told this baby also had spina bifida, but it was not as bad.
“They said wait another two weeks, we’ll do another scan and we’ll go from there,” she says.
“You’re stressing, you’re freaking out. Two weeks felt like an eternity.”
After waiting two weeks and undergoing another scan, Tiffany was again told it didn’t look too bad and she should do another scan in two weeks.
“At 24 weeks, it got worse,” she says.
“He started developing fluid on the brain. It was affecting his nerves, down the spine. It went from numb toes to ‘he’s not going to be able to walk’.”
Another two weeks, another scan. “Everything was failing,” she says. “We did all these tests because I needed to make sure I was making the right decision … we sat down and said ‘we can’t do this to the baby’. He’d be bedridden, have surgery after surgery, a lifetime of hospital visits.”
At 28 weeks, she had the procedure.
An SA Law Reform Institute review of abortion law heard about a girl with an intellectual disability who had been sexually abused by a family member and did not realise she was pregnant until late in the pregnancy.
She made it clear she did not want the pregnancy to proceed. If she had not been able to have an abortion, if she had been forced to have the child, it would have had a “severe and adverse affect on her”, the institute said in its report.
Jacquie* and her husband had a two-year-old and another baby on the way.
They did the usual testing, including a 16-week scan and an amniocentesis. “We got the results back and they said everything was fine,” she says. “But I had a gut feeling and remember saying to my hubby that something was just off.”
At 24 weeks, they got a call. “They said they got the results wrong,” she says. “We thought, ‘shit’. So we were told at 24 weeks that our child did have Down syndrome and we had to make a choice within 24 hours.
“We just had to make the decision around our family and what was best for us. To this day we never say it was the right decision. It was the best choice for us at that time. We had to think about our little one.”
Jacob Mangelsdorf is a counsellor at Red Tree Foundation, an organisation which supports people grieving the loss of a child.
He says the parents that come to him are suffering an “incredibly complex grief”.
“We’re not talking about an easy choice. We’re not talking about something that’s without a high level of complexity,” he says.
“It’s not just losing that baby, it’s about processing that loss and the decision, [thinking] ‘in some ways I made that choice to end that baby’s life’.
“There’s always that little part of their brain grappling with that. It’s really important to acknowledge that the mum at that point has had 20-something weeks to bond with that baby.”
Tiffany says hospitals and health authorities need to do better in supporting women going through horrific experiences like hers. And people need to stop judging others, she says.
“Everyone has an opinion and their own beliefs.
“But if you’re not in my shoes, you don’t know.”

ASCARI Ecosse 
Ascari (the name is either a contraction of Anglo-American Car Industries or a tribute to Alberto Ascari, the two-time, Ferrari-driving Formula One champion, depending on who you listen to…) made its home near Banbury, an area thick with Formula One teams and engineering know-how.Its first car was the FGT, a Chevrolet-engined concept racing car that so impressed multi-millionaire inventor and racing driver Klaas Zwart that, like Victor Kyam, he bought the company. He went on to race the FGT in the British GT Championship in 1995, winning at Silverstone but failing to qualify for Le Mans.The Ecosse was the road-going version of the FGT. With more than a hint of McLaren F1 about it, it was Ascari’s first production car. Launched in 1998 it featured a spaceframe chassis, a fibreglass and Kevlar body, and a BMW 4.4-litre, Hartage-tuned V8 engine mated to a ZF manual gearbox. It wouldn’t surprise us if Ascari lost money on each one, so exquisite is the engineering.With 300bhp on tap, it is said to have a top speed of 200mph thanks to slippery aerodynamics and a weight of just 1,250kgs, which is all the more impressive given that it has leather trim, air-conditioning and a carbonfibre dashboard; this was a proper supercar rather than a stripped-out racing machine made legal.The engine size was later increased to 4.7-litres and 400bhp, and the more powerful car could reach 60mph in 4.1 seconds – and if that’s not quick enough for you, the final cars boasted a 420bhp, 5.0-litre BMW V8 and two of the concluding run even had a six-speed sequential gearbox from Quaife…The firm, who ceased trading in 2010, is thought to have built only 17 cars, of which no more than seven are thought to still exist, making them a very, very rare sight indeed.

TMOHS HONORIFICS REFERENCE
a few of my buddies supported the idea of me making a bit of a reference for how the tmohs characters canonically refer to each other. so, i decided to do just that! i'm really only going through and picking out relevant characters, as non-relevant characters aren't really given names to be addressed by. everything under the cut because this is long. anyone is free to reblog this.
CHARACTER  DEFAULTS: - KYON  by  default  refers  to  people  by  just  last  name.  he  seems  to  add  -san  onto  that  if  the  person  is  older  than  him. - HARUHI  will  use  lastname-san  on  average,  but  tends  to  jump  to  just  last  name  or  first  name.  she's  inconsistent,  though. - YUKI  and  KUYOH  will  not  refer  to  anyone  by  name  if  they  do  not  know  their  first  and  last  name.  if  their  first/last  names  aren't  known  to  the  audience  yuki  will  describe  them  "the  cat"  /  "that  human"  /  "that  time  traveler"  or  solely  refer  to  them  by  their  pronouns  when  it  is  clear  in  context. - MIKURU  is  polite  by  default;  lastname-san. - ITSUKI  is  polite  by  default;  lastname-san.  will  occasionally  refer  to  people  by  their  full  names  when  monologuing. - RYOKO  and  EMIRI  often  use  lastname-san  but  will  refer  to  people  by  full  name  on  occasion.  especially  when  discussing  things  in  the  context  of  their  goals. - TSURUYA  is  similar  to  kyon  with  a  tendency  towards  giving  people  nicknames. - FUJIWARA  more  often  just  describes  people,  usually  in  a  derogatory  manner,  rather  then  call  them  by  name.  when  he  does  use  names,  it  seems  he  defaults  to  just  last  names  without  honorific  or  using  their  full  name. - EVERYONE  ELSE  can  be  assumed  to  use  lastname-san  for  people  by  default.  it's  just polite.
KYON  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - KYON  by  the   majority  of  people.  we  do  not  hear  his  real  name  even  once  in  the  series,  thus  no  one  is  seen  using  it  for  him.  though  we  can  assume  teachers  and  his  parents  do. - KYON-KUN  by  mikuru,  tsuruya,  and  his  little  sister. - KYOROSUKE  once  by  tsuruya - NOTHING  by  yuki,  emiri,  ryoko,  and  kuyoh.  these  few  only  refer  to  kyon  in  the  second  person  “this/that  person/human”  or  just  “you”.  as  we  do  not  see  them  talk  about  him  when  he  is  not  present  we  are  unsure  how  they  reference  him  when  he  is  not  around,  but  we  can  infer  that  they  do  not  use  “kyon”  as  it  is  a  plot  point  in  “snowy  mountain  syndrome”  that  yuki  would  have  not  called  kyon  by  his  nickname. - KYAM  by  T.  (NOTE:  she  once  also  called  him  kyami). - SENPAI  by  yasumi.  no  name,  just  senpai.

YUKI  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - NAGATO-SAN  by  everyone who  isn’t  kuyoh.  if  a  major  character  isn’t  mentioned  as  doing  otherwise  below,  this  is  what  they  call  her. - NAGATO  by  kyon and  taniguchi. - YUKI-CHAN  by  tsuruya  (she  switches). - YUKI  by  haruhi  (NOTE:  haruhi  called  her  yuki-chan  and  yuki-san  both  exactly  once  at  the  beginning  of  the  series,  but  has  never  used  either  since  then).  kyon’s  sister  also  calls  her  this. - YUKKIKO  by  tsuruya (she  switches). - NAGATOCCHI  by  tsuruya  (she  switches). - FULL NAME  by  kuyoh.  a  lot  of  supernatural  characters  (especially  aliens)  will  occasionally  use  her  full  name  as  well,  but  it  is  not  anyone  else’s  default. - ???  we  do  not  see  yasumi  refer  to  yuki,  so  we  do  not  know  what  she  calls  her.  it  can  be  assumed  it  is  either  nagato-senpai  or  yuki-senpai,  but  it’s  hard  to  say.
MIKURU  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - ASAHINA-SAN  by  everyone who  isn’t  yuki  or  kuyoh.  if  a  major  character  isn’t  mentioned  as  doing  otherwise  below,  this  is  what  they  call  her.  (NOTE:  while  this  is  kyon’s  default,  when  he  first  met  her  he  called  her  asahina-senpai  before  switching  to  this). - ASAHINA-SENPAI  by yasumi. - MIKURU  by  tsuruya. - MIKURU-CHAN  by  haruhi.  (NOTE:  mikuru  signs  a  letter  to  kyon  referring  to  herself  as  mikuru-chan). - FULL  NAME  by  yuki  and  kuyoh.  a  lot  of  supernatural  characters  (especially  aliens)  will  occasionally  use  her  full  name  as  well,  but  it  is  not  anyone  else’s  default.  (NOTE:  itsuki  once  tried  to  refer  to  mikuru  by  her  full  name,  but  kyon  told  him  not  to  say  her  first  name.  he  has  never  done  this  since and sticks to asahina-san).
ITSUKI  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - KOIZUMI-SAN  by  kyoko,  unlike  other  characters  this  is  not  usually  how  he  is  referred  to  by  default. - KOIZUMI-KUN  by  haruhi,  tsuruya (she  switches),  mikuru,  and  kyon’s  sister.  a  majority  of  the  female  characters  in  the  cast  have  this  as  their  default. - KOIZUMI  by  kyon,  the  student  council  president, and  all  members  of  the  agency.  T  also  sometimes  calls  him  this.  a  majority  of  the  male  characters  in  the  cast  have  this  as  their  default. - ITSUKI-SAN  by  tsuruya  (she  switches). - IKKI  by  T.  (NOTE:  she  will  sometimes  add  his  last  name:  “ikki  koizumi”). - FULL NAME  by  yuki  and  kuyoh.  a  lot  of  supernatural  characters  (especially  aliens)  will  occasionally  use  his  full  name  as  well,  but  it  is  not  anyone  else’s  default. - ???  we  do  not  see  yasumi  refer to itsuki, so we don't know what she calls him. it can be assumed it is either koizumi-senpai or itsuki-senpai, but it's hard to say.

YASUMI  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - ???  we  do  not  know  the  usual  default  for  her,  since  she  only  interacts  with  the  brigade.  we  can  assume  it  is  watahashi-san,  based  off  average  language  conventions. - YASUMI-CHAN  by  haruhi  and  mikuru. - YASUMI  by  kyon
- FULL  NAME  by  itsuki,  surprisingly  enough.  yuki  does  not  ever  address  her  by  name,  it  is  unsure  if  this  is  just  a  coincidence  or  intentional  giving  yasumi’s  true  identity.  however,  it  is  not  unsafe  to  assume  kuyoh  and  yuki  may  refer  to  her  this  way  as  well  given  their  defaults.
OTTILIE  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS... - T  by  everyone who  isn’t  yuki  or  (presumably)  kuyoh.  if  a  major  character  isn’t  mentioned  as  doing  otherwise  below,  this  is  what  they  call  her. - MYSCLUB T by kyon (but he mostly calls her T, i just thought this was a funny instance). - LIE  by  tsuruya. - FULL  NAME  by  no  one  that  thing  is  so  fucking  long. i think yuki should use it for shits and giggles tho.
TANIGUCHI  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS  JUST  TANIGUCHI  BY  EVERYONE. KUNIKIDA  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS  JUST  KUNIKIDA  BY  EVERYONE. MORI  IS  REFERRED  TO  AS  MORI-SAN  BY  EVERYONE. (NOTE: kyon theorizes itsuki may not be so formal with her behind closed doors.)

FOR  EVERY  OTHER  CHARACTER,  REFER  BACK  TO  DEFAULT  OR  LOOK  AT  THEIR  CANON  TITLE  (EX:  THE  COMPUTER  CLUB  PRESIDENT).

SA's bill to ban conversion practices 'worst in Australia'
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/sas-bill-to-ban-conversion-practices-worst-in-australia/
SA's bill to ban conversion practices 'worst in Australia'
Tumblr media
Survivors of harmful LGBTQ “conversion” practices have given a scathing review of the South Australian government’s draft legislation to ban the practices.
Conversion practices – sometimes referred to as “conversion therapy” – seek to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
Major medical bodies, including the Australian Medical Association and Australian Psychological Society, all condemn the practices as ineffective, harmful and dangerous. Many subjected to them have higher levels of depression, PTSD and suicidal ideation, research shows.
The South Australian Labor government introduced the draft bill to ban the practices earlier this month.
Attorney-General Kyam Maher said the legislation sends a message to LGBTQIA+ people “you are loved just the way you are”. Maher said the legislation aims to protect people “from abuse at the hands of the small number of groups who perpetrate these practices.”
‘Loopholes, limitations and ambiguities’
However survivors from South Australia and nationally, who want the harmful conversion practices banned nationwide, say the state’s “tokenistic” bill is “deeply flawed” and will instead allow conversion practices to continue.
The draft bill has “loopholes, limitations and ambiguities” that will “embolden those who engage in conversion practices,” according to a joint statement from groups including SOGICE Survivors and the Brave Network.
“The bill’s definition does not account for the coercion, manipulation and conditioning that invariably precede conversion practices, known as ‘inducement,’” they warn.
The bill allows all conversion practices to continue if they occur on a single occasion. It does not allow independent third-party reporting.
“[The bill] sets an impossibly high bar for enforcement,” the groups report, and even give cover for the practices to continue.
‘Worst in Australia’
Russell Hoile, a conversion survivor advocate based in Adelaide, said the government has failed to understand the issue due to a lack of consultation.
“It is not fair for the government to ask us to welcome this bill,” he said.
Veteran South Australian LGBTQIA+ campaigner Dr Michael Pilling said the government had failed to consult with survivors of conversion practices.
“It’s shameful that the first Australian state to decriminalise homosexuality, is now positioning itself to be the worst in Australia on conversion practices,” he said.
It’s understood the bill is up for debate in the South Australian parliament on Tuesday.
Dr Pilling, national group Just.Equal and survivors’ groups say the bill must be amended and strengthened before it passes the state’s upper house.

Carmelo Kyam Anthony (born May 29, 1984) is a former basketball player. He played 19 seasons in the NBA) and was named an NBA All-Star ten times and an All-NBA Team member six times. He played college basketball for the Syracuse Orange, winning a national championship as a freshman in 2003 while being named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. In 2021, he was named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team and is regarded as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history.
After one season at Syracuse, he entered the NBA draft and was selected with the third overall pick by the Denver Nuggets. While playing for Denver, he led the Nuggets to the playoffs every year; the team won two division titles in that span. He led the Nuggets to their first Conference Finals appearance since 1985. He was traded from Denver to the New York Knicks days before the NBA trade deadline.

Some observations on this section relationship chart in Legend of Soulcalibur. (Showing only the Ryukyu Kingdom half from page 15. The rest deals mostly with the Korean characters.) The darker green section is about Maxi himself (in the red-lined box) and his pirate crew. From left to right:
Maxi's father was a merchant connected with the royal palace. (I'm paraphrasing.)
His dying wish was for Maxi to see the vast world.
Maxi's crew form out of his father's merchant fleet. (Loosely paraphrasing.)
Out of all the named characters here, only his sworn brother Kyam (キャン) is in the darker green box with the rest of the crew.
Yagaji (ヤガジ), who made Maxi's nunchaku Fatibal, disembarks from the ship owing to his injuries. (I can't find specifics for the life of me.)
There's also Cadena (カデナ)... or Kadena in New Legends of Project Soul, but I'll get to that. She started tagging along after being rescued as a castaway by Maxi's father. She became a pirate, but ended up staying behind because she was too young. (Probably the reason for this throwaway line from Kyam in Maxi's Soul Chronicle after Lyla is invited aboard: "Tch. Cadena's gonna be jealous.") Also, she had a bit of a crush on Kyam. (Rough translation: "faint awakening of love".)
Li Long, under the alias Zhang Wu (張武) taught Maxi nunchaku techniques on a ship out of Japan. Bold move of him to use the name of the assassin sent after him for deserting (he's mentioned elsewhere in this book).
On the right, we're back on familiar territory with Astaroth wiping out (most of) Maxi's crew. And Kilik's friendship with Maxi.
I cut it off, but that bit at the top right is about Xianghua mistaking Maxi for Li Long. (I swear I'm not misreading that.)
Speaking of Yagaji and Cadena/Kadena, according to New Legends of Project Soul (page 121), they got together at some point and had a son Shushin. It seems that Sushin was meant to figure in a side-plot involving the invasion of Ryukyu by the Satsuma Domain's forces.

COVER-UP?
South Australia has delayed the introduction of its state-based Voice to Parliament, just months from the referendum to decide whether to create a national Voice.
The SA Government had promised to establish the state-based Voice, and said it would dispel fears and give people comfort ahead of the national vote.
But Aboriginal Affairs Minister Kyam Maher said the establishment of the South Australian Voice was “causing confusion”, ahead of the referendum.
Could it be that the introduction of this state-based Aboriginal Voice would expose the negative reality to Australians before the referendum?
This SA Voice was never taken to a state-referendum and the current polling for the national Voice is nose-diving. Thus it’s likely this has been buried for political reasons, akin to a cover-up, before the national vote.
