Journals of the Unknown - Witches of Salem Preliminaries

We can finally start talking about the story of Journals’ first season, Witches of Salem. But before we start, I would like to share both a sinopsis of this season and the characters who play a relevant role in it, just so I can be sure that these characters’ spirtes will remain somewhere to be seen even if my last resources for finding them disappears.

It is important to note, for some of these descriptions, that there was a second version of Journals of the Unknown released once The Other Guys settled with specializing in interactive story games, and the original one was left behind. I suspect it’s both because the format of a television-like format, where the episodes are released apart from one another, was not working with an audience whose main goal was to play a point and click game. I also suspect that happened because games such as Criminal Case decreased in popularity (since you don’t see that many people playing Facebook games anymore) while games such as Linda Brown gained said popularity (Linda Brown isThe Other Guys’ property, by the way), but that’s only a suspicion.

THE THREE MISSING WITCHES:

Througout the game, we only come in contact with Eva Hope and Sally Acheron, but it is important to know that there were three people who were mostly targeted by the murderer, and that also included Aleena Lareau. To be fair, these characters are some of the few that I can say have been given an official age.

ID: Two pages of a notebook. The first one reads: “Dear Jane, I’m glad that you decided to follow your father’s steps and accept working at the magazine. Remember: 2 girls have died in Salem (one was the tarot reader and the second was the horoscope writer). Now the atendant of the Salem Witch Museu is missing. This doesn’t look good! We think there’s a new witch hunt going on even if the police denies it. Find out but take care!”, signed Ben, in cursive. The other page has three black and white pictures of the dead and missing woman, which reads: “Name: Aleena Lareau. Age: 47. Occupation: Tarot Reader. Status: deceased”, “Name: Sally Acheron. Age: 23. Occupation: Horoscope writer. Status: Deceased”, “Name: Eva Hope. Age: 22. Occupation: Salem Witch Mseum attendant. Status: Missing”. END ID

JANE GOODHART: She’s the main character of the game, and naturally will appear in the following seasons. She’s a journalist whose main motivation in joining the team of paranormal investigations at the Amazing Magazine is to find her long missing father, Ulysses Goodhart, because she doesn’t believe in the supernatural at first. She has a strong sense of justice, but I CAN NOT say the same applies for her sense of morality, honest to God (you’ll see why soon enough...)

ID: One of the first few frames in The Witches of Salem. It contains Jane Goodhart with a bubble that reads: “Has a new (in all caps and in bold) witch hunt (end of all caps and bold) started? I’m heading there to (in bold) investigate (end of bold)...”. Jane Goodhart appears to be a young adult between her 20′s-30′s, with white skin, light colored eyes and blonde hair. She’s wearing a leatherjacket which matches her hair color, and a necklace. END ID

ULYSSES GOODHART: Jane’s main motivator to go around on adventure, and the main link between the cases of the game. Throughout the game, it is implied that he was a caring father to her, albeit a very distant one due to his many trips throughout the world as a journalist. This importance he gave to his work was very detrimental to his marriage. He was the founder of the Amazing Magazine, and is best friends with Ben Watson/Werels.

ID: An old protograph, of Ulysses and Jane Goodhart when she was a child. In the photograph, the house of the Goodharts can be seen on the background, and Ulysses holds his daughter on his back (I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s such a stereotypical father thing to do, you know what I’m talking about). Ulysses appears to be middle aged, he has gray hair and a short beard that covers most of his face. He wears a watch on his left arm. END ID

BEN WATSON/WERELS: In the point and click-occult object version of the game, Ben’s surname was Watson. In the interactive story version, his surname is Werels. I will be referring to him as Ben Watson, since this page’s focus is the point and click-occult object version, AKA the original version. He’s the main editor of the Amazing Magazine, and acts as a surrogate father to Jane ever since Ulysses has gone missing.

ID: An image of Ben Watson. He is a white older man, with gray hair, thick black eyebrows and a mustache. He’s wearing glasses, and a red bow-tie. END ID

JASPER RAFTER/VONNEGUT: Jasper suffers from the same situation as Ben Watson, and has two different surnames, but for the purpouses of this page, I’ll be referring to him as Jasper Rafter. He’s the main photographer at the Amazing Magazine, and just like Jane, he has a good heart but not always the best morals. He’s willing to drop anything in a heartbeat if it means that it will be beneficial to Jane, and he has a not-so-subtle crush on her throughout the entire game; he keeps trying to ask her out, but his hints are too subtle for her to notice.

ID: A picture of Jasper Rafter. He is a white man with spiky brown hair and blue eyes. He’s holding a professional camera with one hand and gesticulating with the other. He’s wearing a light blue shirt and a dark blue loose scarf. END ID

DARCEY WILLIANS: Darcey also has the same issue as the two previously mentioned characters, but with one difference: I can not remember his original name and whether or not it was truly Willians. Either way, he’s really fuzzy on my memory as to his original personality, but I do remember that he was really supersticious. Nowadays, and even in the last season of the original game, he acted a bit as a despotate, assuming the charge of the Amazing Magazine after Ulysses disappeared, and he overall did not show that much care other than that. He’s a pretty irrelevant characters, to be quite honest. I don’t even have images of him, you just gotta believe me and image Collin Firth during Pride and Prejudice recording but with the most heinous goatee you can possible image.

EUGENE WITCH: He was given a name only in the interactive story version of the game, and in the original he was simply referred as “The Butler”. He’s the butler of the Putnam family, and who either helps Jane or makes her life a little harder if her interference means more trouble to Gregorious. I do think he’s more of a valet than a butler, though, but Journals of the Unknown was not written by English speaking people so I can understand.

ID: A low quality picture of Eugene Witch, The Butler. He’s looking round in confusion at the gateway of the Putnam Manor. He has short hair and appears to be starting to bald, and wears a mustache alongside the usual butler attire. END ID

RICHARD MURRAY: Gregorious Putnam’s main rival at the elections for mayor, and the current owner of The Lucky Witch gift shop. I can’t speak much about him without going into story spoilers, so just know that he’s more relevant than he seems.

ID: A bunch of posters of Richard Murray’s electorial campagin. He’s a white man with short hair and a beard. END ID

GREGORIOUS PUTNAM: Richard Murray’s main rival at the elections for mayor, and Witch’s boss. He’s a dishonest man trying to keep the family’s legacy alive despite all of the odds, and acts like your average politician since... well, that’s what he is.

ID: A low quality picture of Gregorious Putnam’s speaking bubble. He’s a man appearing to be in his 50′s-60′s, with brown and well-adjusted hair, big glasses and wearing a suit. He’s white and is shown frowning. END ID

NORA BRADSTREET: The owner of the hotel Eva Hope was staying in before the incidents of the game. I can’t say much about her, since most of the relevant information are spoilers about the lore of this game’s city of Salem, so just know that she might be more relevant than she seems.

ID: A picture of Nora Bradstreet, with her pet cat on her shoulder. She’s shown in a birthday hat and happily holding a fork, seemingly to eat her birthday cake. She’s an old, fat woman with big earrings. Above her, it’s written: “Happy birthday Nora!!”, and below a date: “08/11″. END ID

MIKE STEWARD: A corrupt police officer, who became friends with Ulysses Goodhart during the time in which he visited Salem. He doesn’t offer much to the overall story other than political drama and the potencial for the weirdest friendship ever.

ID: Mike Steward’s speaking bubble. He’s a broad shouldered white man, with short dark hair, and a big mustache, almost touching his chin. He’s wearing the police uniform. END ID

Dalam bayangan orang yang terjebak bubble, Ibu pekerja adalah ibu-ibu yang mengejar karir dan ambisi. Lupa kalo di luar sana ada TKW pekerja kasar, buruh pabrik, ART, dan profesi-profesi lain yang diambil bukan karena punya pilihan.

Pernah baca bukunya Anette Lareau yang judulnya Inequal Childhood ngebuat gue makin lama makin nggak berani mengomentari pola asuh dan pola pendidikan yang menurut gue "kurang" peran orang tua. Gue justeru berharap sistem pendidikan kita, baik yang di dalam ataupun di luar sekolah, mampu mengcover kebutuhan anak. Terlepas bagaimanapun kondisi orang tuanya.

Karena dari keluarga cemara ataupun dari keluarga yang tidak cemara-cemara amat, setiap anak berhak mengakses pendidikan yang baik. Pendidikan yang bisa menumbuhkan mereka sebagai manusia.

Paris 2024 (Day 7)

Canadians Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrowski won earlier today the bronze medal in the mixed doubles event with a 6-3, 7-6(2) victory over the Dutch team of Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof. This is Canada's second medal in the history of the Olympics in tennis, the other one being a gold medal won by Daniel Nestor and Sébastien Lareau at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Auger-Aliassime will have a chance to win a second bronze medal tomorrow against Lorenzo Musetti in the singles event.

Cut Worms- S/T (Jagjaguwar Records)

After his Memphis produced double album, Nobody Lives Here Anymore, in 2020, Max Clarke (aka Cut Worms) ventured to a few different studios to capture some new sounds. Maybe that’s why the music on this album has him moving in different musical directions as well. On his third full length self-titled album, all songs are written, arranged, produced, and mixed by himself. Clarke is back with his psychedelic folk filled with nasal, deadpan vocals and slide guitar, but this time he’s joined by many guest musicians. But don’t worry, his great touring band, drummer Noah Bond and bassist Keven Lareau, still perform on this album. 

The album begins with “Don't Fade Out,” a piano-driven boogie. Guest artists, courtesy of the D’Adarrio brothers of Lemon Twigs fame, add a nice touch with their piano and bass. A foot tapping gem that’s a terrific way to start off the album.  Next, “Take it and Smile” is a slower song, but filled with some amazing guitar picking and “roller-skating rink” organ. “Ballad of the Texas King” is by far my favorite on the album. A bouncy song that features Florist’s Rick Spataro on piano and additional guitar. (Rick’s Onlyness Analog Studio also provided one of the recording spaces this time out.) A soaring melody and stunning piano work highlight this song. “I'll Never Make It” captures the sound of the 50s’ greats Buddy Holly and The Everly Brothers. It’s a bopping piano ballad that will have you singing along in no time.  “Is it Magic?” continues the 50s sound, but this time Beach Boys harmonies join in. 

“Let's Go Out On The Town” is another favorite of mine that takes me back to early (“Not A Second Time”) Beatles, but then shifts to more of Clarke’s unique, twangy sound. “Living Inside” slows things down a bit, nothing wrong with that; it adds to the variety of this album. Gorgeous strings written and arranged by Simon Hanes and performed by Ansel Cohen and Gabe Valle add to this mood. The next track, “Use Your Love! (Right Now),” returns to the Beach Boys scene. Another great summer song! The album ends with “Too Bad,” a somber song that we can only wish isn’t the last song. 

Nine songs in 32 minutes, not quite the quantity of his double album, but definitely the quality of the Cut Worms that we’ve grown to love. I caught his band live back in 2018 at West Fest in Chicago. I’m glad to see he’s still putting out great music and utilizing his contacts to add to his sound. Looks like a US fall tour(September through October) is set up, so be sure to catch these songs live!     ERIC EGGLESON

Academic Article #5: Parental Practices and Educational Achievement: Social Class, Race, and Habitus

In the article Parental Practices and Educational Achievement: Social Class, Race, and Habitus, Katerina Bodovski explores how social class, race, and parental practices intersect to shape educational outcomes. The study emphasizes that while social class influences parenting strategies, race remains a significant factor in shaping children's academic success. Middle-class parents tend to engage in "concerted cultivation," involving structured activities and active school involvement, which correlates with higher academic achievement. In contrast, working-class parents prioritize independence and discipline, fostering children’s resilience and practical skills, but this approach often does not align with the behaviors valued in schools, which can contribute to educational inequalities. Racial differences also show in the study, with African American families engaging in less concerted cultivation despite holding high educational expectations, and differences in gender investment, with White families often investing more in daughters and African American families in sons.

The article draws on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of cultural capital and habitus, and Annette Lareau’s distinction between concerted cultivation and natural growth to frame the discussion of parental practices. The study's quantitative analysis reveals that social class and race both shape educational expectations and children's school performance, with race continuing to influence outcomes even after accounting for social class. Additionally, it underscores the importance of early childhood education in addressing racial achievement gaps. The study’s focus on Black and White families limits its broader applicability, suggesting future research could explore the experiences of other racial and ethnic groups. The article also highlights the systemic barriers, including segregated schools and unequal resources, that affect educational achievement, particularly for minority children.

Cut Worms Come Home to Close Out Tour in Brooklyn

Cut Worms – Music Hall of Williamsburg – October 11, 2023

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Max Clarke, better known by the moniker Cut Worms, cultivates vintage sounds that harken back to yesteryear but with timeless themes from teenage love to the American dream. On his third self-titled album, Clarke leaves behind traditional studio spaces opting for organic collaborations amongst friends — like the Lemon Twigs — in DIY spaces to continue the ruminations on love and dreams. Paste magazine dubbed his latest “an arrival of lean, pithy and charismatic psalms.” Cut Worms concluded their fall tour at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Wednesday.  Opening the set with “Let’s Go Out on the Town,” Clarke playfully remarked, “Now we are out on the town. It’s an immersive experience.” It was indeed a night out filled with echoes of Americana jangle-pop that had the hall swaying and bopping infectiously. The twang was quite prominent on “Take It and Smile,” as pedal steel player Hamilton Belk slid notes and created deep vibrato. For the more quieter, country-tinged “Is It Magic?” keyboardist John Andrews (also the opener for the night) and bassist Keven Louis Lareau came in on backing vocals to round out the enchantment.

An extra-special treat was doled out with a cover of Tom Petty’s “Louisiana Rain,” followed by the autumnal-themed “Living Inside,” offering the lyrics “When the leaves all start to change.” Clarke announced that “Don’t Want to Say Good-Bye” would be the last song of the night, but it wasn’t surprising when he returned to encore solo on “Last Words to a Refugee” and then welcomed the entire band back for “Veteran’s Day” before fans exited into the crisp fall evening with an extra pep in their step. —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck Photo courtesy of Sharlene Chiu

HEAR: Country-Tinged Indie Rock | Cut Worms - “Ballad Of The Texas King”

The breezy, country-tinged rock of Brooklyn-based artist Max Clarke (Cut Worms) sounds like it’s straight out of the depths of a Texas Roadhouse bar. Don’t let him fool you though he has the attitude and swagger of a Brooklynite! We are mesmerized by the music of Cut Worms and I think you will be too. Check out “Ballad Of The Texas King” below and let us know your thoughts: SOUNDS: like the Eagles, George Harrison and Joni Mitchell had a love child FEELS: like a warm summer night in Dallas Read More: On Cut Worms, the new self-titled album from Brooklyn-based Max Clarke, the singer-songwriter and musician continues his exploration of what he calls “pop essentialism." Mining the golden hits of yesteryear for a timeless double A-side sound, he contemplates age-old questions through a modern lens. Here, he leaves behind the legendary studio and sought-after producers for a more homegrown approach, working with a cast of gifted friends and collaborators. “Don’t Fade Out” and "Living Inside” were recorded in Brooklyn by Brian and Michael D’Addario of the Lemon Twigs, who also played piano and bass, respectively, on these two songs. Further basic tracking was done by Florist's Rick Spataro at his Hudson Valley studio, Onlyness Analog, with contributions from the long standing Cut Worms live band–keyboardist John Andrews, bassist Keven Louis Lareau, and drummer Noah Bond. The result is a compact collection of daydream anthems that live between the summer’s hopeful beginnings and the season’s fleeting end. Read the full article
