Conversation
All the broken puzzle pieces
Dr. Ra:
I look over what Tulsix was able to send me overwhelmed, I was so tired but sleeping would just bring on the Infectious nightmare and I'm forced to drug myself further to numb the worms. The worms naturally keep my body functioning so it makes me far more sicker again then if they we're working in there to keep me alive. A few days of constant work on it, visiting the babies for more blood going towards Nala (and Dathan's) poisoning. Checking on Gwen's recovery, hearing Marcellus complain though his condition wasnt as bad as everyone's else. I still had to come to his beck and call. I twitch having been caught walking down the hall to go see test results in another lab. He demanded when Caelus could be treated next. Its been a few days... I still wasnt sure.. it was..ready. I decided not to update the first machine, instead make a new machine. We might need the old machine for .. for..
I try to remember what Infection was left.. somewhere..
I felt so numbed to them now I couldn't even remember.
(Marcellus): "WHEN is Caelus going to be wok-"
(Michael): "You complain more then my granddaughter.." He tisks at Marcellus coming back from visiting Gwen.
(Marcellus): "Michael! Enough games! Where is he!?"
(Michael): "You cant visit him and get infected again you know..."
(Marcellus): "What about Nala.."
(Michael): "There is no point, both are frozen and can not speak to you."
I inch away to the door feeling like I can leave now. Michael stops me to discus the research on the baby's blood. How it seemed to be positively effecting Dathen. I almost got a complement for 'making them'. But he wont give me the credit for improvement and just betrays on about the small amount of hybrid wraith in Dathan did not prove the blood could help Nala. After seeing Marcellus's DNA structure get completely changed he questioned my methods, reminding me Nala had to be RESTORED in a complete and whole manner and not in some botched way.
"Of course sire, yes sire I understand.."
I say trying to blink away any amount of focus of me being here right now.
(Michael): "AND those names.. what we're you thinking?! UGH just get out of my sight and get back to WORK!"
I wake up from my zone out picturing dirt at his scream and dart for the other room.
Sterling came back from the Trydien sector to bitch about the lost General women, Korra being gone for so long meant there is no political puppet to dangle in front of them so he wanted to get her from Tulco but learned from Uriah she was gone.
(Sterling): "Is Gwen the only who can make her hybrid trydien race?! We need those creatures nullified if she cant then give us the Declension Serum. They are just as powerful as Bain Ones."
(Borin): "We dont know if that caused the Infection or not..its dangerous..no one is allowed to use it.."
He shoots me a look and I stand there feeling more pained at them talking about my greatest 'success' / failure.
(Sterling): "We've used it for years, it did not cause that...whats the point of holding those planets if your just going to leave us with it. Isnt your son the 'king' of Ingnitcore then why is it MY problem to keep them from ripping it apart?!"
(Borin): "I dont have the time to set Nash up there if I did I would have taken care of them far better then you can and have. Get out."
(Sterling): "I'm warning you right now, my Prince if you dont act we'll loose it...."
He leaves rather begrudgingly. I guess I cant ask his help on the job, he wont be sticking around if he has to go back there.
(Peli): "I could take Nash..."
(Borin): "No stay away from that little freak..."
He hushed back at her, much to her surprise.
He then yells at me much like Michal about how I'm not doing enough or something and another.
"Its true, I haven't been able to look at Gwen's..results as much dealing with..Caelus's recovery. But I dont see much promise with her memories. You know that."
I add in, knowing he spent all this time on it. My 2nd option wouldnt be much. Well it would be if I told him the truth.. I know that's Perry's venom. So they we're there..so close..
SO. close.
(Borin): ((I think she did it to herself, its VERY selective memory loss..too selective to be natural. OR you did it..I dont believe she could make something I cant crack...))
"And I can?" I cant mindtalk this weak.
(Borin): "I taught her what she knows!" He counters back and hovers back near Gwen who woke up gaging in pain again, hugging herself if that could help the bandages keep her together in more.
I think..what Perry did wasnt meant for her. It was way to strong. He must have loaded it for Bane.. like a nuke.
(Peli): "Its nothing, nothing your stupid father is going to shut up and let you rest.. dont wake up.. go back to sleep baby."
(Gwen): "N..no I.m...o..kay.."
I stare at her trying to make myself feel ok with withholding what I knew about that. Her insides we're probably going to liquify....
*twitch*
I take a deep yet labored breath cause my lungs without the worms keeping healthy feel like a 80 year old man who smoked his way out of a paper bag. The guilt was to much, I grab Gwen's blood samples and take it to a further away lab to try to stop the liquification. I slack off my research on Caelus's cure a few more days to accomplish this. At least the machine was being worked on, it was on a ship so it could be easily thrown into the sun just in case I also wanted the two way transfer to become a one way transfer..somewhere to be destroyed forever but I wasnt sure yet how to accomplish that. Break it into something compacted like dart yet I had a sickening sort of feeling to that for some reason. Then of course there was general transporter error.
Some day *is too drugged out and overworked to know the day of the year details* ;)
I'm on the Infected hive trying not to puke blood in my hazard suit trying to stay in attention for a meeting.
I prattle on my progress of the machine, well the hybrids building it cause I cant really do the manual labor, at least I got out of that. I was however doing the panel's myself that would be installed last by them when the time came.
(Soren): "How much gunk can you put on that one drone?"
"Oh..you'd be surprised how much..."
I couldn't remember now, how many on Xero...
He looks at me disgusted and focuses on the King trying to be very impressive.
(Soren): "Who goes in first?"
(Michael): "I will only risk Caelus's life if I must... if anyone goes in the new machine it will be Julian.."
"Will you allow me to try to break the buffer so there is no sacrifice?"
(Michael): "Do you think that's wise when this is the most important run though..if he turns out human it will be far better then any alternative."
"Of course.."
I try not to panic, I dont want to even imagine what the drone would be like with..all that.
My health decline for the last few days was now too apparent. The King ordered the only Lyratsian he had trusted, Dr. Quasar's specimen clone from the Safar Zoo to look over more calculations for Julian strain machine. Since whatever he did to himself to have infection full control must have went over my head and been some Lysterian secret.
(Quasar): "I am SO honored for another chance your majesty."
(Michal): "Just get on with it.." He shoos her away and I would have liked to see such a famous scientist at work checking the machine but .. passes out smacking into wall on the way down.

Tumblr media
I apologize for how long this one is! I wanted to get these two out of the way and I guess I didn’t think it through so we got a two in one deal for this one. Also, I’m not entirely satisfied with how they look so I may update their colorings sometime. 
One more after this and I swear I’m done giving Koba siblings/family members! XD
Name: Gavin
Age: 11 (Dawn), 13 (War)
Species: Bonobo
Gender: Male
Relatives:
Parents: Carlos (father), unknown mother (unknown status)
Siblings: Dolly (older sister), Koba, Nemo (older brothers) and Rose (younger sister)
Friends: To be filled later!
Enemies: Colonel McCullough, humans
Loyalty: Caesar’s Colony
Appears in: Before The Storm 
Role: Supporting Character
Personality:
Despite the abuse and torture his family members endured from humans, Gavin is an optimistic ape with a more positive view on life. While he is aware of and acknowledges the pain humans can cause, he refuses to believe all humans are bad-unlike his older brothers. 
Though Gavin is part of the Ape Army, it’s more than obvious he doesn’t belong in it as he is often hesitant about harming or killing anyone, even elks. Due to this passive nature, he is seen as weak and soft to his fellow ape soldiers. What they don’t understand (or perhaps, refuse to) is that Gavin simply doesn’t want to kill or end conflict with death and believes there are better ways to do so. 
This, of course, would draw a wedge between him and his father and brothers who hate all humans. In Dawn, Gavin sides with Caesar. Agreeing that Malcolm and his group aren’t dangerous. Much to the dislike of his father and brothers. 
When Caesar was supposedly killed by the humans, Gavin is horrified at the prospect that the humans may have been bad all along and become enraged, joining his two brothers in the battle in the city. His anger is, however, short lived when he finds out that Koba had killed Ash (though he and Ash and Blue Eyes were not particularly friends, he still respected them and saw them as good apes). 
Ash’s death causes Gavin to reevaluate his older brother and realize how far he was willing to go for revenge-revenge that, Gavin believed, had more to do with Koba and was never really about Caesar’s ‘death’ at all.
Once he finds out the truth, Gavin has an identity crises. Not only had he killed, an action that went against everything he believed in, but he had killed for nothing. This causes him to become depressed and deeply resent Koba, and even Carlos who, as he believed, knew what Koba was capable of and let it happen.
His relationship with his remaining siblings suffers as well. With Nemo being refusing to discus the situation at all and Gavin blaming Dolly for it all as he believes that, as the oldest and the older twin and “the only responsible one in the family”, she should have seen it before anyone else did. Rose is the only one he doesn’t fight with, but does resent her for her being too young and too innocent to understand what has happened. 
Obviously in Revelations, he is completely against Grey and Red’s schemes and makes it very clear he wants nothing to do with Koba’s followers or anything relating to what his brother had done. However, he is dragged into it by coincidence as he is one of the soldiers to bring the females and children back into the forest and is later tied up.
After Red and the rest of Koba’s Loyalists are chased out, Gavin is reunited with his siblings and realizes that Nemo, despite going along with Red’s plan, never agreed to killing the guard apes and had never believed Koba was better as a leader than Caesar. 
Due to Nemo being conflicted on where he stood on the matter and feeling like he just didn’t belong anymore, he leaves the colony. Leaving Gavin with only his sisters left. 
In War, due to the constant fighting and death, Gavin is forced to give up his beliefs and dislike of killing and becomes a stronger and better fighter-though it comes at a price, as he feels he no longer knows who is anymore and focuses only on keeping his sisters safe. 
After the killings of Cornelia and Blue Eyes, he goes off with the colony to their new home-only to be found and taken prisoner by the AO army instead. He is forced into work along with Dolly and the other apes while Rose is separated from them. Though he is disappointed in Caesar and outwardly shows it upon his return, he does forgive him and changes his mind after he convinces the Colonel to feed the apes. 
During the escape, Gavin protects as many apes as he could. He gets shot twice but survives and reunites with his sisters after the avalanche and later joins to their new home.
In the end, Gavin is no longer the passive and hesitant ape he used to be but becomes a strong and self-assured ape. He still believes killing doesn’t have to be the way but now recognizes and accepts that sometimes, it’s not a matter of what’s right an wrong. Only what’s necessary.
If this were a real life person, what would they be doing right now?: Hmm, I kinda feel like Gavin would be one of those bookworm, nature loving type of person. Despite having damaged and war-wanting family members, he knows he’s not a tough guy and doesn’t try to be and chooses to focus on the beauty that lives in the world rather than dwell on the icky and dark side of it.
Name: Nemo
Age: 16 (Dawn), 18 (War)
Species: Bonobo
Gender:  Male
Relatives:
Parents: Carlos (father), unknown mother (unknown status)
Siblings: Dolly (older sister), Koba (older brother), Gavin (younger brother) and Rose (younger sister)
Friends: To be filled later!
Enemies: Colonel McCullough, humans, (sometimes) Caesar and other apes
Loyalty: Unknown (depends on use)
Appears in: Before The Storm
Role: Supporting Character
Personality:
Nemo can be described as cold, bitter and quick tempered. Out of all of Carlos’ children, he is the most reserved. He never shares what he’s thinking and when asked, he can come off as condescending. One thing that he does make clear though, is his hatred of humans which he shares with Koba and their father. 
As a soldier to the Ape Army, Nemo is a skilled fighter and is well liked by his fellow ape soldiers-contrary to Gavin. When in battle with a human, he would grab their arms and bend them unnaturally to break the bones. 
In Dawn, after the encounter with Malcolm’s group in the woods, Nemo doesn’t say one way or the other if he believes they are dangerous but does agree that they can’t be trusted and that the colony ‘must show strength’ as Koba put it.
Later, when Malcolm convinces Caesar to let him and the others work on the dam, Nemo is one of the apes assigned to first watch the construction (or guard the humans) and then to assist in clearing the dam out. The whole time he’s at the dam, he glares at any human who’d dare meet his eye however, he does try to intervene when Koba verbally attacks Caesar and then follows him after the fight between the two. Confronting himont what he just did, saying: “I don’t like this anymore than you do, but Caesar is not the enemy.”
Nemo, despite not liking Caesar’s rule and resenting him for the battle between him and his brother, did not take part in or had any knowledge of Koba’s plan to kill him. When Caesar is supposedly killed by the humans, he immediately joins his brother in attacking the human city. Though Nemo kills many humans himself, he is taken by surprise at his brother’s apparent enjoyment at the battle. He hides it well, but like Ash and Blue Eyes, becomes concerned about his brother’s behavior. 
It is, sadly, only after Ash’s death that Nemo realizes the monster Koba was. Nemo may have also hated humans but, in his eyes, “Koba took it too far.” He decides to confront their father, Carlos, in hopes that maybe he can talk some sense into his brother-only to realize in dismay that his father is on Koba’s side. 
Nemo didn’t believe his brother and father would harm him or Gavin, Dolly and Rose but at that point, he wasn’t sure if he knew them at all anymore. Believing that if Koba had no qualms with killing Ash, he could likely kill his brothers and sisters too. With Carlos supporting it.
When Caesar kills Koba, Nemo is angry at everything. Angry at his brother for causing a war, angry at his father for supporting it, and angry at Caesar for killing Koba. It doesn’t help that Caesar acts cold towards Nemo, as he doesn’t know if he can trust him anymore. 
Much like he did with Grey, Red see’s this as an opportunity to enlist Nemo for his plan. Believing that, out of all of Koba’s siblings, he would be the most likely to join Koba’s Loyalists. Nemo, still believing Caesar’s sympathy for humans makes him weak and out of spite, agrees to join them on the grounds that the colony would be safer somewhere else. 
However, much to the surprise of Red, Grey and the rest of Koba’s followers, Nemo makes it very clear that he does not believe his brother a ‘better king’ than Caesar by saying: “I saw him kill Ash. What kind of king kills his own people?”.
Although Nemo did not understand the full extent of Red’s plan, he did catch on that Red was the one pulling the strings and that he was keeping certain details from him. He, however, did not realize that Grey and Winter were tangled up in it as well. 
He realizes he was wrong to join the followers when Red and Koba’s Loyalists hold the colony hostage and kill several guarding apes-forcing Nemo to participate in the take over. Nemo, believing he and his siblings could be next in the crosshairs, does what he is told without expression. Focusing more on survival than anything else. 
When he overhears a conversation between Red and Winter about killing Cornelia, he decides he’s had enough of his brother’s followers and leaves. Only to reappear when Red tries to kill Cornelia himself. 
While Grey and Red fight, Nemo frees any and all apes that are tied up and is one of the apes to chase out Koba’s Loyalists. Making him a traitor in their eyes and in the eyes of his father. Though Nemo is redeemed, he now see’s Koba’s madness everywhere. In the apes who follow him and it effecting the remainder of the colony. 
Due to his connection to Koba, him being one of his followers and him still not liking Caesar’s rule, Nemo decides he no longer belongs in the colony. Feeling that, as long he is part of the colony, he will never be able to escape his older brother’s shadow and that there would always be dislike and distrust between him and Caesar. Therefor, instead of staying, he chose to leave.  Hoping he can start a new life somewhere else and leave the betrayal and memory of his brother and father behind him. 
In making this choice, he leaves Dolly, Gavin and Rose behind as they refused to leave. Though Nemo knew his siblings would be safe, it is a bitter pill as he knows there is a chance he may never see them again.
If this were a real life person, what would they be doing right now?: I can honestly, 100%, say that Nemo would be that silent guy who sits in class and never talks but will beat the living crap out of anyone who pisses him off. Regardless of the consequences that may come from it.
Some Extra Notes:
Both Nemo and Gavin are inspired by my cats: Nemo was named after my eldest cat and shares the same characteristics as him while Gavin was inspired by a cat I had when I was younger (that cat’s name was Gizmo. I would have named him after that cat but because ‘Nemo’ and ‘Gizmo’ are so twin-sounding I just named him ‘Gavin’ instead. I still think ‘Gizmo’ might be a good name for the Planet of The Apes universe though). 
Part of Nemo’s character is similar to S Snape from Harry Potter: It’s hard to tell if he’s your enemy or an ally. 
In Before The Storm, Gavin and Nemo are Donkeys and have been serving the AO Army since they were young children. Having been kidnapped by them when Nemo was six and Gavin only one. 
Both are half brothers and have different mothers (in both RP’s and in Before The Storm, it can be assumed Nemo’s mother was killed by humans while Gavin’s died in childbirth). 
Gavin and Nemo both have scars in Before The Storm and AO brandings however, in role-play-verses, Gavin would likely not have any scars. 
Nemo’s fate is open for debate in role-plays. Meaning, he could have either survived the war and found a new home or colony, or he could have been killed (by soldiers or by something else).
It is very likely the only members of Koba’s family to survive and remain in the colony would be Dolly, Gavin and Rose. 
Out of all the sibling OC’s, Nemo is the most similar to Koba: Both hate humans and can and/or will kill them if given reason to however, Nemo will only kill a human if it is necessary and would not take it to the extreme that Koba did. Nemo would also only kill a human who had harmed other apes (in present events) whereas Koba kills out of revenge (out of past events). Most of all though, both see Caesar’s compassion for humans as a sign of weakness and dislike his rule (though I think that’s more Nemo than Koba). 
Carlos, Rose, Gavin, Nemo, Dolly, Art and Before The Storm are (c) Me
Everyone else mentioned are (c) Planet of The Apes

Ch. 24 - One Last Dance
Hello everyone! Tumblr doesn’t like external links so I will post new chapters of my long running Mystic Messenger Fic Star Crossed Entertainers here on this tumblr as well. All other chapters you can find on AO3 username MonotoneManday if you want to start from the beginning. Thank you!
Also I do have commissions open as I am in a bit of a financial crisis. Please DM for details! (:
"It's stuck! We can't get out and the steam is filling up the room fast!" "Harmful steam?" "Well it's certainly not playful Steam!!" "Oh Shut up, Mary! Do you want to get out of here or not?!" "MY NAME IS VANDERWOOD! Stop trying to be buddy-buddy with her and help me pry this door open!" "It's not going to open from in here!" Vanderwood was desperately trying to get any grip on the large metal door that he could while Seven was trying his best to work through the steam and find any other options. "How about both of you shut up, and one of you give me your location!" "North East section, in the 3rd hanger, 4 units down and on the right!" "Wow...you think you two would be a better team if you're that in sync." "Just hurry!" The station went silent as the two men continued to look for an escape route just in case their third party couldn't make it to them on time. She was running faster than she had run in quite some time. Her breath's were even and sweat was rolling down her neck. Her long hair was tucked up in a plain black baseball cap. "I can't get a grip on anything! The steam is too hot! Seven any other options?" "Yeah, the door being opened from the outside!" She tried to pick up the pace, but the next turn she was supposed to take came up and she could see the shadows of people that clearly were the enemy. She tried to turn on her heel but the rate at which she tried to stop had forced her flat on her ass. She shuffled backwards furiously and then got up to once again run at top speed but in another direction. "Listen! I'm a single person trying to avoid a large wave of people looking for intruders. Of which I am one. And I am trying to avoid them while making my way to the idiots that alerted them of intruders. Idiots that set off a trip wire, LIKE THIS WAS THE FIRST MISSION THEY'D EVER BEEN ON."   She ducked into an archway where a small drinking fountain was kept. She removed her backpack and took out four small discus shaped devices. "Seven, how do these little UFO things work?" "Oh! My gadgets. Ho~Ho~! They'll divert sound. Well I mean technically they will pick up your sound and transfer it somewhere else. Don't ask how it works. Unless you're a big genius boy like me, you won't understand." "JUST TELL HER WHAT TO DO WITH THEM, IDIOT!" "OKAY! Just attach them to a wall or, preferably the ceiling so the go unnoticed. Keep one with you. Turn that one clockwise until the LED strip is red. The others, it doesn't matter what color. The different colors just mean different sounds they put out. It doesn't exactly mute any sound you make it just kind of, pads it, and then lets it out elsewhere. So if you stomp around, it won't sound like stomps, just maybe light footsteps? And then wherever you put the other ones it will expel that sound in the hopes to distract or divert the enemy." "Can I throw them?" "They should withstand a simple toss. They're magnetic so no worries about stickage." "That's not a word and wait...'in the hopes to' meaning, YOU HAVEN'T TESTED THEM?!" "Listen Mary, with all the chores you give me, I didn't have time." "Oh you pea brained little-!" "Stuff it, Vanderwood! Lay off! Let's just hope they work and I didn't just waste precious getaway time." She turned one of the disks to red, just like Seven said and sprinted in a new direction. Making sure to spread them well enough apart, she tossed the three others up on the ceiling one by one. Several long strides later and she arrived at the door. She knocked with the outer part of her fist. "I'm looking for a couple of Morons, would that be who is occupying this room?" "JUST OPEN THE DOOR!" "Wow, again. You two really need to take this act on the road." She looked for a lever, a handle, a latch, something to open the door. "You have got to be kidding me? What kind of old-timey steamboat shit is this?" "What do you see?" "It's a turn wheel! Like you would steer a ship with but..." She gripped the handles and pushed using all of her body weight. "It won't move!" "Well from in here it looks like an automatic door that obviously shuts off when an alarm goes off." "Thanks, Seven. I'm sure that information really helps her." "Just shut up! I can't move it!" She went from pushing to pulling, planting her legs firmly and trying to use them as anchoring leverage. "I have to break it loose." She knew she needed to put every bit of her body weight into it. She looked above her head and saw some exposed piping. She stepped on the turning wheel and hoisted herself up to the pipe. She grabbed onto it in a pull up motion and firmly placed both her feet on separate wheel grips. Putting all of her weight down on her feet and pushing the grips forward, she held her breath and tried to focus all of her energy. Feeling the wheel slowly start to move she stopped pushing. Swinging back and forth on the pipe she was gripping she built momentum and in one swoop coming forward, she kicked the wheel and released the pipe. The wheel snapped out of it's locked position and rapidly spun while the door started to pry open. She laid on the floor catching her breath, when the two men that were trapped inside swooped her up by the pits of her arms and ran with her dragging behind. The three sat on the dock. Seven untying the boat, and Vanderwood inside of the boat, making sure the package they had retrieved was tucked away, safe.   "You guys are unbelievable. I have to be on a plane in 30 minutes!" "No one said you had to tag along on our missions." "Yeah, it's not our fault you miss the action since you've gone on the straight and narrow path." "Quit bitchin. What if I wasn't here?" "...we would have figured it out." "Okay, Seven. You keep telling yourself that. I need to make a phone call." She walked further up the dock and took out her cellphone, pacing back and forth waiting for the call to be connected. "Welp! Mission Accomplished!" Seven spoke in high spirits as he jumped in the boat. "Better take off soon!" "And you really think whatever we just collected will help you find your brother?" Vanderwood nodded to where he stored the back pack. "I truly think so." "You better hope it helps a little, or that one is going to be pissed." Again Vanderwood nodded toward up the dock where their third party member could no longer be seen. Suddenly bright spotlights, large in diameter started to whirl around outside of the fortress they just left. Alarms  were ringing at eardrum shattering levels. "START THE BOAT!" She was running back up the dock towards the boat signalling them to pull away from the dock. Vanderwood fired up the engine and started to drive away. She would either jump in or swim a short distance for them to throw something to her. Seven was getting the rope prepared to throw out when a bullet flew by his head and hit the exterior of the boat. "SNIPERS!" Seven yelled as he hit the deck and Vanderwood ducked as much as he could while still trying to navigate the boat. She reached the end of the dock, all of her weight pushing down so she could spring herself off of the deck and into the water. More shots rang out. "AAHHH!" "SAMANTHA!" The bullet just grazed her ankle but it threw her off balance, she slipped off the dock, into the water. She immediately tried to just start swimming, but she felt a tug on her skull. "What are you doing?!" "My hair! It's stuck!" Her long ginger hair had fallen out of it's baseball cap and was now tangled in the splintering wood and loose nails holding up the old rickety dock. "Just pull it off of there and swim! It's just hair!" "It won't come out!!" Sam grabbed onto her hair and tugged and tugged but her hair would come loose from the dock, her skull, or break apart. Seven looked around the boat desperately for something to use and grabbed the first thing he knew would work. He dove into the water and swam to the dock. Vanderwood killed the engine and turned off the lights in hopes that they wouldn't be visible for just even a split second to buy them some time. "Samantha!" Seven reached her and tried to pull on her hair but came up with the same results. "Okay, Sam, we're gonna have to burn it off..." "I don't care!" She was obviously in pain and if she could just rip her hair off like a wig she could. Seven removed the mini blowtorch he took from the boat and let the blue flame burn off the strands of hair that were stuck. Once she could feel she was released Samantha dove in the water the rest of the way and began swimming to the boat. Seven burnt the pieces that were tangled in the wood and the nails and the bits left in his hand he tossed into the water. Trying not to leave any behind. He swam to the boat and Samantha pulled him on board. Vanderwood kicked on the engine and hightailed it out of the area, leaving the light off for quite a bit of time. The had traveled for about 15 minutes. Samantha and Seven drying off and getting warm. "You know, for a last hurrah, this sucked." "Well I guess the bright side is you never have to come with us again!" Vanderwood looked down at his watch. "Were you able to move your flight?" "Yeah! Is there time to get you to a salon or...a barber? Our treat!" Seven rubbed the back of his neck as he flashed Samantha a nervous smile. "...well, h-hey! Isn't working with us a lot more fun than beating people up for the mafia?" "No." Samantha and Vanderwood both answered Seven immediately and deadpanned. "I heard you've really turned things around, Samantha. A non-violent Mafia family? I don't think it works like that." Vanderwood steering the boat, spoke without looking towards the two redheaded passengers. "We don't use unnecessary violence. I'm doing good things okay. And don't try to downplay what I've done like I've lost power. We're still one of the strongest and most powerful families around. I just do things my way." Samantha stood up and dropped her towel she was drying her burnt hair with. She stood tall and inhaled the night air blowing off of the water. "I'm done carrying the world on my shoulders. And I'm done feeling sick of who I am and what I do. I've become the woman I want to be. This last mission with you two was thrilling and all. But no more shenanigans for me." "Thanks for helping out these past couple of months Sam. I really appreciate it. It's all brought me so much closer to finding my brother. And if other things come up, I hope you'll still help out in some way. The three of us make a good team." Seven stood up and thrust his hand out towards Samantha. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a family like embrace instead. "Of course I will." She released the hug and gave him a sincere smile before quickly changing the tone. "But don't call us a good team. This was horrible. I'm angry, and I can't believe you two get hired by legitimate agencies." Sam heard Vanderwood let out a small chuckle. "Now get me to my flight home. I have a date."

movies watched in 2018
kimi no na wa - why am i the only person who thought this movie was just okay???  i see where the people who loved it are coming from, i just...didn’t.  gorgeous though, i’ll give it that.
darkest hour - my mother considers churchill to be one of the most heroic figures of her lifetime, and she felt positively about this movie.  that’s good enough for me.  (also, that one fucking SHOT of this movie was better than the entirety of the actual film about dunkirk.  you know the one i mean.  and the scene in the underground, holy shit, did i cry.)
thoroughbreds - i would have declared it perfect if it had ended about ten minutes earlier than it did.  i fucking hate epilogues.  still, two of the fastest rising stars in horror sharing the screen was as awesome as you’d think (though this is more of a thriller i suppose).  also i’m the only person who’s annoyed by this, i’m sure, but olivia cooke’s bedroom was CLEARLY IN ANYA TAYLOR-JOY’S HOUSE.  that bedroom was clearly part of that house.  details bug me sometimes.  what can i say?  and i mean if the house hadn’t been so goddamn perfect a setting for this film i wouldn’t have noticed,  so...
daddy’s home 2 - god help me, but i found this sort of cute.  never saw the first one and don’t plan to, but somehow found myself watching and vaguely enjoying this one.  plus i love that my mother now asks “was she a matilda?” every time a girl in the 9-13 age range shows up in a movie.  i’m counting the days until we can rent hereditary so i can finally say “yes, actually.”  (i swear to god if that’s the one time she doesn’t ask that i will scream.  as an aside, the trailers for that look REALLY good.  i’m so glad milly finally got to do a horror movie, and i’m doubly glad that it looks like it might be a good one, because obviously i’ll be seeing that in theaters.)
three billboards outside ebbing, missouri - it was okay.  that’s really the extent of my feelings about it. frances mcdormand’s performance is one for the books, and woody harrelson’s is noteworthy as well.  and peter dinklage is always good...and i don’t think i’ve seen samara weaving in anything before, but she did so much with such a tiny role in this...the acting is overall stellar, is where i’m going here.  and the soundtrack is great.  (not JUST because i have soft spots for renee fleming and the joan baez version of ‘the night they drove old dixie down’, but it helps.)  but good god am i uncomfortable with the “racist asshole is actually a good guy despite still being super racist, as written by a white guy” trope.  and i thought sam rockwell’s performance was pretty lukewarm.  i see why people felt so positively about it, but i didn’t like it that much.  it had its moments.  but again, having a hard time moving past sam rockwell’s character.  
growing up smith - maybe this time i’m the racist, but the indian-american (or indian-englishman in the case of bend it like beckham) fish out of water movies always, always, always charm the fuck out of me.  this one is fairly weak on its own merit - lots of cliches - but it’s just likeable. i’d also love to know if the screenwriter based any aspects of the dad character on his own dad, or smith on himself, since the film is set in around the time he would’ve grown up.  
all i see is you - literally, and i’m using the word correctly here, the most disturbing fictional film i’ve ever seen in my life.  holy shit.  it’s literally - again, really! - the most horrific scenario i can envision (pun not intended but i wish it had been).  blake lively has come a long way since she played bridget vreeland and serena van der woodsen, and she really impressed me here.  indeed, if she hadn’t been so easy to like, the movie might not have worked so well, but i did genuinely care about her character.  (that fish tank bothered me, though.  again, i know, details, but...discus would be dead in zero seconds flat in that type of environment.)  the ending felt a bit like the screenwriter realized they’d forgotten to write an ending, though.  As a film it’s not that great, but the premise is so goddamn chilling and blakely lively is so easy to care about that it’s really stuck with me.
eddie the eagle - one of the things i’m looking forward to the most about getting older is anticipating which events that have occurred during my lifetime are going to be the ones that “stick.”  i can’t wait to (god willing) be able to sit through a movie about something i lived through and be able to go on about my memories of those events and see how the fictionalized account pairs up with what i remember.  it’s one of the things i’m looking forward to the most about seeing i tonya, actually.  there have been a few things that fit that category so far (diana, the people v. oj simpson, dubya), but nothing that feels *personal* yet, if that makes any sense (which i AM anticipating from i tonya).  all of this to say, this movie is saccharine and full of cliches but it’s kind of awesome that this guy’s story is something that stuck.  it’s not that good, but it’s obvious how much effort went into it, and if i had a kid who was into sports or other competitive activities, i’d probably suggest they watch this.  it felt a LOT like cool runnings to me, and it’s probably just as “true to life” - which is to say, not terribly - and i think it’s set during the same winter olympics, come to think of it.  
flower - i had some problems with it, but it’s SUCH an easy movie to LIKE, i can’t find the energy to complain too much.  there are some structural problems; for a dark comedy there isn’t quite a lot of comedy; there are a few plot threads that could either have been filled out more or dropped entirely; zoey deutch and her “teen” friends have deeper facial lines than i do (one of them honest to god looks forty, and i’ll give zoey deutch a pass because she owns this role, but the other two could easily have been cast with more convincingly young actors); but goddammit, i just LIKED this movie.  i long suspected that zoey deutch was too good for dreck like why him? (i like that movie, but it’s not good) and before i fall, and she proved me so right.  her performance is gorgeous.  adam scott and the guy playing her stepbrother (i don’t know his name) are perfectly cast.  the story is delightfully weird and i never had any goddamn idea where anything was going.  and the adorable pet rat doesn’t die horribly.  if the plot summary or trailer appeal to you, i think you’ll like it.  if not, i doubt you will.  but it’s exactly my cup of tea.
the killing of a sacred deer - i don’t like this director at all.  i’ve tried so hard, but i don’t.  this movie is more of the same from him.  if you’ve liked his past work, you’ll like this.  if you’re not a fan, this won’t convert you.

20 Questions with Dr Ferox #8
My gosh, there’s just so much stuff you vetlings want to know, isn’t there? Well, knowledge is good, so here we go with yet another info dump as I try to answer a big slew of your questions in one hit.
Anonymous said: I sometimes get your patreon emails or an update on your blog while I'm studying/struggling in the wee-hours of the morning (vetmed). I'm in WA, so where-ever you are it's also late/early. What are you doing up in the witching hours?
First of all, I am an AdultTM and as such I am permitted to set by own Bed Time. There are many reasons why you might receive notifications from me so ‘early’.
I have a blog post on queue every morning between 5am and 6am my time (so probably 3am and 4am your time). It goes up automatically, so I can see initial responses before I go to work.
I think Patreon sends its emails at the same time each day, regardless of when I post. I certainly don’t type there early in the morning.
Sometimes I’m on nightshift and can get kinda bored at 3am sometimes.
Sometimes I just can’t sleep, especially with the changing day/night cycles.
Most of the blog runs on queue, honestly. At least three posts a day do.
@banesidhe said: Just happened to discover your blog. Thank you so much for posting like you do (even the snark. I'm a 911 dispatcher, I appreciate the snark ;) ), and sharing your experiences. No vet question, but if you could only ever re/read five books for the rest of your life, which five titles would make your cut?
Ah, I have found many similar people to myself among emergency personnel. There’s a particular combination of gallows humor and wishing people would get to the point that unites us.
For fiction books:
Feral, Kerry Greenwood
The Shepherd’s Crown, Terry Pratchett
Monstrous Regiment, Terry Pratchett
Watership Down, Richard Adam
Good Omens, Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman
Hmm, bit of a trend there.
But the work books I couldn’t live without are:
Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook
The 5 minute veterinary consult, Dog and Cat Edition
Ettinger’s Textbook of Internal Medicine, Expert Consult
BSAVA Rabbit Medicine & Surgery Handbook
Small Animal Surgery, Fossum.
Anonymous asked: what was the most exotic/rare patient youve ever had?
This fat meerkat.
Anonymous said: My dog is a shelter dog and we suspect she was abused before we got her (afraid of E V E R Y T H I N G) and weve been slowly working on getting her to at least ignore people we walk past or that enter the house and thats been making progress. But she hates the vet. Hates it. Gets in my lap and refuses to leave. New dogs people and smells. So her normal vet takes the approach of having one of us hold/console her while they do all the poking and listening and whatnot and muzzling her if they need to and just getting it done as quickly as possible. But this last time she saw a new vet and this vet took the approach of hand-feeding her almost an entire bag of treats and called it "stress-eating" and tbh you should have seen the look on my dogs face. She was so weirded out. Shes highly food motivated so it was like heaven to her but she was simultaneously very suspicious. Her face was like"i love this but idk if i trust it" it was great.Have a greatday!
If you an reinforce the behaviour by arranging frequent, short visits to the vet clinic where nothing happens but lots of treats, she may start to associate the vet clinic with positive things (food) ad no scary things. This might make the rest ofher life easier.
Anonymous said: I own fancy rats and just want to put out there to people, that while they are THE MOST amazing tiny friends, in my experience most vets are completely lost when it comes to their care & several I've seen refused to even touch my exceptionally friendly females. They often get respiratory infections requiring antibiotics. One of my friend's females passed away bc nobody would perform a simple surgery on her. So please be cautious when buying them. 
I would like to suggest that any surgery on a rat is likely to be not simple, because they do have particular anesthetic requirements that can make their recovery difficult. Also that a lot of traditional rat medicine hinges on using post mortem examination as a diagnostic tool, which is not useful at all with pet rats.
In dog and cat medicine most of our equipment and even medications are not suitable for rats, or very difficult to adapt. We simply have fewer options, and generally less experience with these species Most vets I know will attempt to treat them, but with a great big disclaimer saying I don’t do this often, and a quick question as to whether you’d prefer to go to a nearby clinic that does see rats more often.
Anonymous said: Hello, I recently took in 3 abandoned kittens and they're covered in fleas. They appear to be 6 weeks old and can't use meds or wash for them. I clean them with vinegar and dish soap and I was wondering if you knew of any other ways to help them since they hate getting wet. I also use a comb but they dislike that as well.
You can use capstar on kittens from 4 weeks of age, and Revolution from 6, probably earlier. Talk to your vet.
Anonymous asked: Strange question but do you know if that rage syndrome thing can happen in cats also? I know a cat who does that and also acts strangely in general at the same time?
It is not documented in cats, however Feline Hyperesthesia Syndrome may present in a similar way.
Anonymous said: Hey doc! I plan on getting my cat fixed soon and I'm worried about how it'll affect her. She's really skittish and prefers to stay in one room, could getting her fixed make it worse?? I guess like what are the possible behavioral effects is what I'm askin? For the qt: ive been here a while i just dont like or reblog stuff but i came for the vet knowledge and stayed for it too, especially the mythical creatures and dog breed info
She is probably not going to have any long term personality changes from being desexed, though might be out of sorts for a few days after the anaesthetic. If anything they tend to be less stressed because they’re not attracting Toms.
Another Anonymous said: My kitten was neutered yesterday and he's doing great, healing well, playing nonstop, remarkably agile despite the e-collar (navigating small spaces, jumping to high places), eating & drinking well. The vet didn't give us any aftercare instructions but I googled it -- and wish I'd done so before the surgery because I could've prepared better. A lot of it seemed obvious in hindsight but nothing I'd have thought of on my own. Do you have a flier or anything for your patients' humans? 
We send our patients home with aftercare instructions. We have a default one that we print for routine surgery like desexing, and a customized one for non-routine procedures.
We also read it out to our clients when they pick up their pet, and point out that all these instructions are written down, because it’s easy to forget details when you’re worried.
Anonymous asked: I have a question! I saw your desexing cats post and thought I might send it to you. I neutered my male cat but he still sprays and tries to roam the neighborhood. I try to keep him inside best I can. Is there a reason this happens?
It may be stress, but you should consult your vet to rule out any underlying urinary tract issue before assuming so. Your vet should be able to discus the various stress reducing techniques, changes and treatments that are available.
Anonymous asked: Whenever my roommate wakes up before me, she makes bacon for breakfast while the coffee is brewing. If she hasn't slept well, her coherence is sometimes a bit... lacking. If our cat happens to demand food, about half the time she ends up giving him a slice of bacon instead of cat food. We only recently figured out that she's been doing this. He's not getting fat, and gets actual cat food later, so is this OK, or do we need to try to figure out how to keep this from happening?
While bacon is certainly digestible, it is not a balanced diet. It would be ideal if you could minimize his bacon habit.
@nowgovanish said: Hello! I have a question about my 13 and 4 year old cats. They seem to have some pretty bad skin reactions to certain foods, and I've tried a lot of different food brands that my vet reccommended. The one that seems to work best is a grain free/ non chicken variant, but I see that you aren't a huge fan of grain free. Is there anything I should change or try sticking with what works?
I have said many times before that if it’s working, keep feeding it.
Novel protein diets, and ideally single proteins source diets, are more use for allergies than just going ‘grain free’.
‘Grain Free’ labelling on food particularly vexes me because it’s not regulated. You can find ‘grain free’ food that really mean ‘corn free’ and either use grain byproducts or straight up use rice. Last time I checked, rice was a grain.
It’s like ‘Hollistic’ - it means nothing on a pet food label. Neither does ‘Organic’, pet food companies do not have to use all organic products in pet food to label the food as organic. These are marketing ploys like ‘all natural’ which are targeting your emotions and don’t mean anything when it comes to the food.
If you’ve come across a novel protein diet, or a minimum ingredient diet, that is beneficial for your cats then stick with it. But recognise what’s marketing and what’s useful.
Anonymous said: I love my dog but he is a complete and total moron. He has strangled himself so often that his bark is now raspy. He even found a way to do it with a harness! We've resorted to jogging when walking him to try and keep up but is there some way to make it better? We've tried letting him learn on his own, pausing when he pulls, and getting a longer leash. If he was much smarter I'd accuse him of being into asphyxiation.
I would suggest that you potentially need to figure out what motivates your dog most. Consider using positive reinforcement to encourage him to heel on the lead, instead of wandering and pulling.
You might also want to consider something like a halti collar, which pulls the dog’s nose downwards to their chest when they pull, instead of something that goes around the neck.
Anonymous: Would you consider it a good generalization that dogs more closely resembling/related to wolves (like huskies) have less health problems? I am aware that no dogs are completely lacking in health problems.  Tax: came for good hard factual analysis.
No. And here’s the thing- all modern dog breeds are equally distant from their wolf-like ancestor, unless they have been recently mixed with wolves again.
Their health problems are different to those dogs with more extreme anatomy, but dogs that look like wolves are not inherently healthier.
@justslowdown said: a book i have discusses the man who created the GSD breed (aka isolated traits from a diverse population) pairing dogs with their daughters, granddaughters, great-granddaughters and onwards til more than 1/2 of the pups had to be culled. due you think this could be partially responsible for the health issues remaining more than a century later? "Very drastic inbreeding was espoused during the formation of the breed [...] to quickly form specific type" - The German Shepherd Dog by Ernest H Hart
Certainly.
This is called line breeding, where the offspring of a ‘perfect’ individual are repeatedly bred back to the same individual generation upon generation to try to recreate it. All you really do is lose genetic diversity very quickly and allow recessive deleterious genes to proliferate in the population.
This is why just about everywhere else that’s not the purebred pet world, this is considered a bad thing to do.
@eyestumblin said: Do you think horses would look significantly different if their wonky anatomy were more logical?
They would no longer be a horse.
@cirque-du-spoon said: I saw you mention sheep on the horse thread and I spent a fair bit of time on a sheep farm in Wales. The head shepherd once told me "sheep are born, they spend the rest of their life trying to die". Then he opened his landrover door, and the passenger footwell was maybe 6 lambs snuggled up to one of his old motherly collies.
The common phrase down here was “The aim in life of a Merino ewe is to die and take fifty of her friends with her.” It’s not really much of an exaggeration.
Anonymous said: I'm intrigued to hear the faults of sheep, lay it on me!
Oh I will. It’s on my list for a big write up.
@queenalia said: Hi! I love the post about why horses make no sense, and I was wondering if you would do a similar one for sheep (one of the most suicidal animals on earth in my opinion)?
It will definitely be done sometime in the next few weeks. As you understand, it’s not  quick answer.
@vulturegeorge said: Hey Dr.F, after reeding your "horses-are-spindily-legged-disasters" post and your comment about how sheep are worse, I was wondering if you wished to elaborate? I am currently working on a heard of 50 random sheep my uni bought with a ton of lung issues ... so it'd be super interesting to me. Question tax: came for the Lucifer story, stayed for all of your amazing advice & opinions. I hope you are finding balance between vetting and living. cheers!
I promise I will elaborate. I can’t leave a cliff hanger like that and not explain... eventually.

The scientist who wrote the most up-to-date report is now concerned about her long run. After i arrived at Maria Caffrey's house in Denver, her spouse was going to just take their 3-month-old newborn out for a stroll. Her actual little one is known as Katherine, but Caffrey's profe sional toddler is her 86-page report on the Countrywide Park Service. It's about what sea stage increase and storms could do to coastal parks from the coming decades, and she's been toiling around it to the better component of six yrs. Caffrey is at first from London, so why would she care about U.S. parks? "I'm an American citizen. I have bought an American spouse and children. And so, safeguarding the countrywide parks is incredibly significant to me," she suggests. "They're element of our heritage."Enlarge this imageClimate scientist Maria Caffrey at her house in Denver.Rae Ellen Bichell/KUNChide captiontoggle captionRae Ellen Bichell/KUNCClimate scientist Maria Caffrey at her household in Denver.Rae Ellen Bichell/KUNCCaffrey is really a local weather scientist along with the College of Colorado, but with the previous ten years she's labored with all the Nationwide Park Service like a contractor doing every little thing from advising them on local weather transform dangers for Mattise Thybulle Jersey coastal parks to building roadside symptoms about local weather improve for travellers to examine. Through that point, she recognized the agency was using constrained, scattered research to strategy for i sues like flooding. "There are numerous parks that were counting on regional experiences or reports which were out of date. There were folks who will not have any teaching in weather modify and in order that they are normally just locating regardle s of what they are able to from the web to count on, and people studies will all have diverse solutions likely into them," she says. "So, I found it absolutely was truly, really e sential that we use just one consistent method through the board."The Two-Way FEMA Drops 'Climate Change' From Its Strategic PlanThe Two-Way EPA Moves To Weaken Landmark Gas Performance Regulations Caffrey focused several decades to working out how the combination of intensifying storms and soaring seas may influence 118 Countrywide Park Services web-sites destinations like the Nationwide Mall in Washington, D.C., which might not fare well against storm surge from a category three hurricane buoyed by rising seas. "It would build flooding throughout a huge spot," she states. Caffrey's report acknowledges that some transform is organic, like El Ninos. "There's normally likely to be a combination of things. But what we're modeling for is that human ingredient," she suggests. She came up with four results for every web-site, every a person determined by simply how much carbon dioxide people emit into your air. You will find the worst-case situation if we go on with small busine s as typical. There are 2 in-between eventualities. And afterwards there is certainly the best-case, if we stage up and reduce emi sions. "Potentially it truly is hopeful. We could elect to try to go down that le sen emi sions path and become equipped to divert ourselves absent from considerably greater sea ranges," she claims. Compiling this https://www.76ersedge.com/Wilt-Chamberlain-Jersey report was a long slog, but at last appropriate prior to the 2016 presidential election she turned in the closing draft. The Countrywide Park Support continues to be sitting down on it at any time considering the fact that. Elizabeth Shogren, a journalist with Expose within the Heart for Investigative Reporting, listened to regarding the delay and requested public data over the review. They show it had been edited inside of a extremely specific way. "They needed to acquire out this," states Caffrey, pointing into a laptop monitor marked up with edits that systematically delete mentions that local climate improve is induced by humans.

But Romany Webb, a local climate law fellow at Columbia Regulation School, will discu s. "Definitely this really is only one illustration of a broader development in the Trump administration to silence science that it disagrees with," suggests Webb, who runs a web page at Columbia Regulation named the Silencing Science Tracker. The positioning is usually a joint venture with Local climate Science Legal Defense Fund that tracks governing administration tries to limit or stop scientific study. Thus far, they've got greater than one hundred twenty entries and, Webb says, that is growing virtually every day. "We have numerous examples of references to climate alter remaining removed from governing administration documents and sites. We have now illustrations of government experts staying prevented from speaking publicly about weather transform," she claims. Webb says the developing list paints a worrying photograph of how the existing administration is silencing science, even if within the surface it might look like modest edits, this kind of as eliminating words like "anthropogenic." "But they are actually e sential text," says Webb. "And if we take out them it seriously obscures that me sage and impairs community comprehending about what is actually leading to local climate change and what we could do to fix it." The Countrywide Park Services responded to our ask for for an interview using a brief e mail stating it's a draft report under overview and they'll give additional information when it truly is ultimate. Meanwhile, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke not long ago answered i sues from lawmakers with regards to the controversy. Zinke claimed he "never alter(s) even a comma in scientific i sues," and he is by no means found the report. "I want an investigation into how that document got close to towards the pre s in advance of we even had a chance to look at it," Zinke claimed. Caffrey claims you will find a rationale the push has the document. "I was Julius Erving Jersey legally nece sary to launch these documents," she says. That is for the reason that she will work for just a community university, where by all data must be available on request. So, when reporters came calling, Caffrey as well as the university needed to comply. It's unclear what is going to come about now with Caffrey's report on sea amount increase. There is confusion about who it even belongs to: the National Park Provider or Caffrey? "I fear every single day this toddler is forgetting me. I'm just absent," she states. When this report could appear to be theoretical for now, baby Katherine could pa s though the adjustments her mom is predicting. In 2030, for that initially established of predictions, she'll be thirteen yrs previous. By 2100, the calendar year of her mom's previous predictions, she'll be 83. "She can snorkel acro s the lighthouses and feel of mommy warning men and women about how quickly the ocean levels are soaring. Or if the subsequent ma sive storm strikes a major city, she will be able to feel of mommy and just how she warned people today," claims Caffrey. Or at the very least, how she and other individuals tried using. "I actually am seeking quite tough," she states. But she's worried in regards to the controversy around her report and exactly how it could have an affect on her long term as scientist. This tale concerns us in the Mountain West News Bureau.

March holiday
I completed my homework in this holiday, I started to think about my project, the main concept of my project is lost, and I want to show the process of someone lost in her growth process. And when I travel and back to china, i took some photo about some small items in our daily life. In addition, I took some photo of nature views. Such as when I in the plane, I look out the window and when I went to the beach, I saw the sea, it will give me some feeling about my life. Moreover, I started to make this kind of photo as my primary research, and also as my mood of this project. I want to create this project more like spiritual aspect, so it is really hard to shoot a real item, so it is the biggest problem of my primary research. And I should think about how to develop my project and make the meaning deeper. About my competition, I choose one photographer, and two magazines, and I think I should look and find more magazine or photo which have similar style with me, make the research more plentiful.
 4.16
Today’s class, we discuss our project with Suzanne and our group mates, when I finished listen others work, I find their primary research is really useful and interesting, and relative to them, the primary research of my work is more about mood, it is really hard to explain others my project’s meaning. In addition, I talked to Suzanne about my project, she thinks I shout add some positive ideas of my project, and find more information, also needs to take more photo about it.
So, the next step I should do is think about my project more clearer and took more photo when I walk in the street.
 4.18
Today’ s class we learn to create our brand target market board and band identity, at first, I didn’t really understand what I want to show my brand, so I didn’t complete my board in the class, after that, i am little confuse about the theme and customer, so I should think more about what I want to show the real meaning behind my project, it is the most important things I should do. Moreover, i feel confuse about the homework, so the all problem is because I didn’t make my project clear, and I don’t know what I should show in the finally.
When I walk on the street, I should take more photos about people’s daily life, and think then maybe took some photo about the environment, which can show the negative and positive part in the daily, than develop my research.
 4.23
In today’s class, we divided into groups, and discus our work together, we all gave some advice to each other.
I showed my work to my teammate, and I got some advices from them. The biggest problem of my work is about the color and meaning. Because at first, I decided to make all my work like black and white, but if I want to make my project more positive, I think I should add some color then it can have some compared with black and white. But I really confuse about which is more important, colorful or black and white. Then my teammates suggest me that maybe I should add some colorful things on it, it can make the project more interesting and looks more positive.
So, after that, I am thinking about if I use black and white to represent the real me, and the light color to represent the society, it might works.
 4.24
In today’s class, my depend our course and divided into different group, and development our work.
And in these class, I didn’t do lots of work, because I think I still have lots of problem about my work, and I really confuse about my work, my outcome, I don’t know what I should do next. And in this afternoon, I have a tutorial, and Fiona told me I should make the theme clearer and maybe I should write the main meaning about my project.
And I think maybe I should add more information on my project, like maybe I can add some word in my primary researches, and maybe I gave too much information about my concept, I should choose the mainly part.
 4.30
In today’s class we learn to study how to write press release, and learn about which is good press release, and which is bad press release.
And in today’s class, I feel really upset, because I didn’t find any example of good or bad press release, all I found is already in power point. And at first, I waste lots of time to understand what is press release, because I don’t understand the meaning of press release, so I find lots of news about a band, but not the real press release. So, after that, I find it is really hard to me, so I didn’t complete it on the time.
And after class, I still don’t understand, so I asked my classmate about it, and finally, I thought I know what’s the meaning of that. And I think the most important things I should do first is to find the example of press release, the good one and the bad one, than I can start to think about how to write my brand press release.
 4.30 afternoon
In today’s class, we talk about our future timetable, and talk to Fiona about our work. Because I want to take my final shoot in this weekend, so I asked for advice.
Because I think I project is too abstract,so I am very worried that people who read my portfolio will not understand my theme. At first, I had my own thoughts and ideas about my final photo, but I later thought that this way could not express my theme very well, and it was difficult to find a suitable place to take my photos. So, after my communication with Fiona, she gave me two places to shoot. I think I should go to these two places this week.
Because of my theme, I want to add some colored things up. I think that if it is all black and white, it may be a bit monotonous, so my current idea is to use color to represent social prejudice and white to represent the purity of the soul. I also got a lot of advice from the teacher, and I think my focus should be more on the clothing, I should look for more clothes and jewelry to make the shape.
 5.1
Today's it course does not teach any new knowledge, but focuses on the typesetting of our personal work. I asked the teacher about my final typesetting problem.
Because I finally want to make a lookbook, but my main color is black and white, the teacher suggested that I add some colored background, etc., otherwise it will look very boring.
And she showed me the format of a lot of different lookbooks, and suggested that I don't have more than three different ways of typing a lookbook, otherwise it would be very messy. I think that when I finally arranged my typesetting, I should search for some good typography and try a lot of different solutions to make my lookbook more interesting.
 5.2
In today's class, we divided into groups of seven different angles in three different places to find the feeling of taking pictures in different places. I finished my homework in class. I mainly have three road intersections and a street sign with the h mark. I want to use the point of fork to express people's confusion about the future because of social prejudice. There are many ways to choose, depending on whether you will choose the road that really belongs to you.
In this class, I feel that the places I am looking for are more conservative. The light problems of some photos still need to be adjusted later, but the professional I want to apply is styling, so maybe I should put more emphasis on the details and environment of the clothes. In the fusion, I think this is the point that I should pay special attention to in the final shooting.
And before the end of the class, I didn't have time to ask the teacher's advice. I think I should hurry and ask in the next week's class.
 5.7
In the first 20 minutes of class today, we divided several groups according to the majors to be selected, and then shared our recent learning results with each other.
In the second half of the class, we can do our own homework and communicate with the teacher to get advice. I took my homework last week. During my discussion with the teacher, I found that I got a lot of useful suggestions. For example, my various layouts are not very connected, which makes the entire portfolio look less coherent, so I should incorporate the previous concepts into the final photographic work, making some changes to the photos I took, making the entire typography and style more interesting and coherent.
 5.8
Today, when we were in class, we asked our typography questions and suggestions, and learned to use different forms of fonts to make our portfolios look more interesting and in line with our theme.
I couldn't get my account at the beginning, so I didn't finish the homework that the teacher arranged in class. I wrote too few words on the typesetting. The teacher suggested that I can add more fonts to make the whole page look. It won't be too empty.
I think I learned a lot in this class, and when I was in class, I also got a lot of skills in using ps, so that I can make my final work more innovative.
I think the first thing I should do after class is to improve my homework photos in different styles and ways, then show them to the teacher in the next lesson and get new suggestions.
 5.9
Today's class requires the use of previous photo photos to develop the cover. I didn't finish it during class, because I was doing my previous assignments during class.
I didn't have time to ask the teacher for advice when I was in class today. I think the layout of my final output was a bit problematic, so I made a lot of improvements. And I changed a lot of the previous layout, and I finished a few sheets that I didn't change before.
I think the most important thing in the next tomorrow's lesson is to show my work like a teacher and get advice from it.
 5.10
In today's class, I talked to the teacher and I know how I can improve the 1000 words personal pose I wrote, and in the conversation with the teacher, I showed my typesetting work like Fiona, she gave me a lot suggestions, make my layout more concise, I think the next most important thing is to conceive how to shoot my weekend homework, and because I am applying for a styling profession, I think I should take more detailed photos of clothes. And pay more attention to different costumes, make these clothes more interesting.
 5.16
When I was in class today, the teacher mainly talked about the different forms of the final exit. I chose to make zine under the teacher's suggestion, and I showed my typesetting like a teacher. The most important thing I learned was not to put a lot of things. The photo is on the same page, and I think I should write more text.
After class, I feel that I should go to other magazines and learn about their typesetting. I can add some words I have written or draw on them and add some text pages.
 5.17
Today’s class I have an individual tutorial with Carlyn, I show her all my work, and I print a lookbook after the class.
After talked to Carlyn, I change almost all my final outcome layout. Because she told my if I want to choose styling, I should put more detail of the garment and the accessories rather than whole look, so I chose more final picture as detail photo. Then put more full body look into test shoot.
The most important things I need to change is the form of my text in the outcome work. The form of my text now is not fit my modern project, so I should try lots of different form and change it.
 5.20
Today’s class we learn how to write the ppd and evaluation, I finished the evaluation in the class.
About my evaluation, I write a lot, and I think about this term, I find there still has lots of things I can improve, but I think I do more styling work than last term, I did lots of styling work and lots of test shoot photo.
And after I finished all my work, I find that the weakest part of my work is layout.
So, the most important things I should do next is to read more magazine and lookbook, that might be help. And also when I make my layout, I should care more about the text form, it is really important.

What Charles Koch and Other Donors to George Mason University Got for Their Money
Academic freedom is a hallmark of higher education. If you were a university administrator, would you (1) accept a large donation from a private funder to pay for a professorship on the condition that the funder had to approve who was appointed to the professorship, or (2) use the normal hiring process to hire the professor? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?
A group of student activists sat in the library at George Mason University this past week feeling both vindicated and violated.
The group, Transparent GMU, had sued the university and its fund-raising foundation last year after it was denied requests for documents that it suspected showed how deep-pocket donors were given undue influence over academic affairs. After a recent court hearing in the case, the university released those documents, some of which appeared to affirm the group’s suspicions.
“It feels like transparency Christmas,” said Kailey Adkins, a sophomore at George Mason and a Transparent GMU member. But, she added, “I mostly feel deceived and disappointed. GMU breached my trust and sense of security in my education.”
The documents reveal in surprising detail that for years, as George Mason grew from a little-known commuter school to a major public university and a center of libertarian scholarship, millions of dollars in donations from conservative-leaning donors like the Charles Koch Foundation had come with strings attached.
As early as 1990, entities controlled by the billionaire brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch were given a seat on a committee to pick candidates for a professorship that they funded, the records show. Similar arrangements that continued through 2009 gave donors decision-making roles in selecting candidates for key economics appointments at the Mercatus Center, a Koch-funded think tank on campus that studies markets and regulation. The appointments, which also created faculty lines at George Mason, were steered to professors who, like the Kochs, embraced unconstrained free markets.
More recently, in 2016, executives of the Federalist Society, a conservative national organization of lawyers, served as agents for a $20 million gift from an anonymous donor, and were given the right to terminate installments of the gift at their discretion. Emails disclosed by the university show that Federalist Society officials were also involved in hiring discussions and had suggested a student for admission. In turn, a professor at the law school wrote the society asking for help securing recommendations for prestigious federal judicial clerkships for students active in the society.
Following a period of deep cuts in public funding, the documents and related emails raised broad questions about whether universities that rely heavily on private donors can remain free from the influences of contributors who may be pursuing commercial, political or philosophical agendas.
In academia, such influence is viewed as inappropriate, partly because it may pressure professors to produce biased research, undermining the credibility of their work and spreading incorrect information to students. That may be particularly problematic in the interpretation of data and construction of models in areas of economics that affect federal tax policy or regulation.
Bethany Letiecq, an associate professor in the Human Development and Family Science program at George Mason and president of the university’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said the documents demonstrated that the school had “ceded our authority and autonomy to one of the wealthiest industrialists in the world.”
“The question now is: How are we going to move forward and rebuild our reputation as a reputable institution in the Commonwealth?” Professor Letiecq said. “How are we going to undo this mess?”
News of the donor agreements prompted a university inquiry and other measures intended to rebuild trust in the institution’s academic mission and independence. The faculty senate voted on Wednesday to ask the administration that it publish an online database of all donors, appoint two tenured faculty members to the university’s gift acceptance committee, and extend an ad hoc faculty committee created in 2016 that is charged with examining potential conflicts of interest with outside gifts and grants.
Professor Letiecq said the faculty did not know whether there were any colleagues who may have been affected by the Koch Foundation’s influence over hiring in past years. But those who have been handpicked know they come with strings attached, she said. “They know the benefits that come with the position,” she said. “And I guess they can live with that.”
In one 2003 agreement, the Mercatus Institute said it had received $900,000 from the Menlo F. Smith Trust to fund a professorship in the economics department, and would make the first payment “conditional” upon the appointment of Russell Roberts, an economist who advocates limited government. A person designated by Menlo Smith, a St. Louis businessman, was given a seat on the selection committee, according to the agreement.
Professor Roberts, who is currently affiliated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford, denied on Thursday that Mr. Smith had had any say in his hiring. He said he had been selected for the job by the economics department, which then sought funding from Mr. Smith.
The exact amount of Koch donations to campuses across the country, which frequently are earmarked for programs fostering capitalism and free markets, is unknown. But it is estimated at nearly $150 million from 2005 to 2015, benefiting more than 300 schools. An estimated $50 million of that went to George Mason.
Arrangements between universities and organizations funded by Koch money have come under scrutiny partly because of the work of an activist organization called UnKoch My Campus, the national affiliate of Transparent GMU.
The group and its campus affiliates around the country have pressured universities to reject or rescind Koch-funded agreements and also have demanded disclosures about Koch funding. The movement has recently gained steam on several campuses where faculty members and students have protested Koch-funded centers or professorships, including recent actions at Wake Forest University, Montana State University and the University of Utah.
Samantha Parsons, who co-founded the organization as a George Mason student in 2014, said the group has worked with about two dozen campuses to protest donor influence, and is actively working with about a dozen.
“Faculty across the country are waking up and really seeing this as a moment to really defend academic freedom and integrity, and faculty governance,” she said.
While the documents provide a look into previously secretive arrangements, both the Charles Koch Foundation and the George Mason president, Ángel Cabrera, who acknowledged that the donations raised questions about outside influence, pointed out that the agreements were old.
Dr. Cabrera said his office is conducting a review of donor agreements at the university to determine if any others that exist contain similar language.
The Koch Foundation said it had changed the language of its standard university agreements, removing clauses, for example, that permitted donors to be on hiring committees. “We realized they could easily be used to mischaracterize our intent,” John Hardin, the foundation’s director of university relations, said in a statement.
The changes were made after the disclosure of a similar agreement at Florida State University that permitted a Koch representative to review faculty positions.
Yet there is evidence that donors, including the Koch Foundation, continue to exert extraordinary influence at universities, in many cases unwritten or even unstated. Daniel Kovenock, a professor of economics at Chapman University, which has received Koch funding, said he believed that the foundation had changed its methods.
“Instead of explicit contractual provisions governing use of the funds, it’s now a wink and a handshake,” Professor Kovenock said.
A former professor and administrator at Arizona State University described the “drama” involving an offer in 2014 by the Koch Foundation to donate money for a new professor dedicated to teaching the history of capitalism.
The professor, Matthew J. Garcia, said that he had welcomed the foundation’s donation to his program — the school of historical, philosophical and religious studies — but that he had insisted normal hiring procedures be followed to fill the job.
The hiring search was anything but normal, the professor said. As it progressed, a university dean told him, “A.S.U. will never hire anyone that Koch doesn’t approve,” according to Professor Garcia.
But Mr. Hardin, of the Charles Koch Foundation, said that any hires by A.S.U. were the result of the university’s process, not foundation pressure. “Unfortunately we see people trying to point the finger at us and trying to call us the boogeyman for things they don’t like when it’s not true,” Mr. Hardin said.
Representatives for Arizona State did not respond to requests for comment.
In the end, the Koch Foundation’s top choice was rejected by a faculty committee, Professor Garcia said. But the episode was among developmentsat A.S.U. that Professor Garcia said had left him disillusioned. He departed last year for Dartmouth, where he is a professor of history focusing on Latin America.
Officials of the Federalist Society played a key role as an intermediary between George Mason and an anonymous donor when the university’s law school was renamed in 2016 after the former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the released documents show.
The records and emails, while heavily redacted, say that representatives of the Federalist Society were given discretion to cancel the donor agreement and that society representatives discussed faculty selection and recommended at least one student for admission. Leonard Leo, a Federalist Society official who was among those directly involved in the correspondence, did not return a phone call seeking comment.
The dean of the law school, Henry N. Butler, said that any accusation that the society had undue influence was unfounded. “While we are pleased to receive recommendations from many sources,” he said, “decisions on faculty hiring and student admissions and scholarships are independent and strictly the purview of the law school’s faculty and administrative leadership.”
Despite the release of the documents, the lawsuit is still on. The activist groups want the foundation to release agreements with all of its donors.
Elizabeth Mathews, a senior and the vice president of Transparent GMU, said that she was saddened to have resorted to suing her own school, but that she felt its credibility was under siege.
“Even though we have looked particularly at the Kochs, this is a nonpartisan issue,” Ms. Mathews said. “We don’t believe anyone should be able to do this. We want donors to know they can’t do this out of the public eye anymore. We will be watching them, we will be asking questions.”

"The Censorship That It is" - Now Threatens US Government Health Agencies (DHHS, CMS, CDC)
On Health Care Renewal we discus the dark side of health care, particularly of the leadership and governance of health care, that has enabled health care dysfunction.  Our discussions are based on publicly available information, often produced by dogged health care journalism. Uur work has become more difficult as journalism is challenged by economic circumstances.  Yet now there are worse threats.  Despite First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and the press, journalism is now under fire from the highest reaches of US government. Information Blockade at the Department of Health and Human Services Two recent articles in the Columbia Review of Journalism pointed to specific problems  The first, "Under Trump, Health Reporters Confront an Information Blockade," September 7, 2017, focused on decreasing transparency at the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).  It provided numerous examples of officials failing to respond to apparently straightforward requests for legitimate health care information.  For example,
Washington Post healthcare reporter Paige Winfield Cunningham recently raised a few serious questions about how the Trump administration planned to manage Obamacare’s fall enrollment season. 'The six-week sign-up period will be the first handled exclusively by an administration that’s hostile to the Affordable Care Act,' Cunningham wrote, 'and one that hoped by now to see Congress pass legislation unraveling much of the law.' Any reporter might have asked the questions Cunningham put to the Department of Health and Human Services, some of which she published in her daily Health 202 column: Will the government contact current enrollees to alert them that sign-ups will last just 45 days, about half as long as in the past three years? Will HHS run call centers for consumers who need help as they look for plans? Will the HealthCare.gov computer system be adjusted to accommodate a possible crush of shoppers given the shorter sign-up period? And how will automatic enrollment be handled? HHS offered no answers, although a spokesperson for the department’s communications staff did provide Cunningham with a statement: 'As open enrollment approaches, we are evaluating how best to serve the American people who access coverage on HealthCare.gov.' Even that statement did not stand for long, reported Cunningham: An hour later, the spokeswoman, Jane Norris, requested that the statement be withdrawn, saying that she did not have permission to release it. When I asked her again for detailed answers, neither she nor anyone else at HHS responded further. 'Nobody at HHS ever reaches out to me,' Cunningham told CJR during an interview.
Also,
Matt Wynn, data reporter for MedPage Today, went public with his troubles prying loose the data underlying a series of maps CMS sent out this summer. One map published in early June identified counties without insurers selling policies on healthcare.gov this fall, and a news release announced at least 35,000 active Exchange participants live in counties projected to be without coverage in 2018.' Wynn asked CMS to see the numbers supporting those conclusions. I shot an email to the media relations office in the department, asking for the data behind the map. About an hour later I got a response. No further information would be shared at this time, wrote Shelby Venson-Smith, a public affairs specialist. Adding insult to injury, the non-response was not to be used as a direct quote, the email said.
However, while DHHS and CMS officials resisted responding to uncomplicated requests for information,
they seem to have plenty to say in their news releases and email blasts, which disparage the health law and sound more like campaign propaganda and GOP talking points than routine communications from a federal agency. The Obama administration was not shy about using the same PR tools to boost the ACA. But messages from HHS now feel substantively different, perhaps because they are aimed at denigrating a law they have a legal responsibility to administer.
Thus officials at DHHS seem to now be more interested in following the party line of the current administration than in providing basic information to the public. Many other health care journalists experienced similar problems, including Charles Ornstein from ProPublica, Dan Diamond of Politico, Harris Meyer of Modern Healthcare, and Noam Levy of the Los Angeles Times. Trudy Lieberman, the author of the CJR article, wrote,
HHS and CMS are powerful agencies that could decide the future of critical programs like Medicaid and Medicare, the Obamacare insurance marketplaces, and whether or not hospitals are considered safe. But when agency press officials avoid interviews and refuse to answer questions, it’s hard to present their positions fairly and understand whose side they are on. Government agencies are supposed to be objective about industry practices under their jurisdiction. But if reporters cannot get honest information about the industries they regulate, where can they go?
Kathryn Foxhall, who "works with the Society of Professional Journalists on freedom of information issues," put it this way,
I don't see the administration ever stopping what they are doing, unless we as journalists pull out all stops and call it the censorship that it is.
Public Health Without Public Information? Worse, one week later, CJR published another article  on the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).  The CDC is the lead US public health agency.
Axios published text from a late August email by a CDC public affairs officer that directs staff to route any correspondence with journalists—'everything from formal interview requests to the most basic of data requests'—through the communication office at its Atlanta headquarters: 'The message—sent by public affairs officer Jeffrey Lancashire and dated Aug. 31—instructs all CDC employees not to speak to reporters, ‘even for a simple data-related question’… Lancashire did not respond to requests for comment about the policy. But I’d love to know what harm was being done by CDC employees answering ‘the most basic of data requests.’'
Thus CDC officials now seem to want to substitute public relations for straightforward information provision.  Given that the mission of CDC is public health, this seems to be an example of mission-hostile management, a concept we have used most often to refer to the management of private health care organizations, not US government agencies.  Charles Ornstein of ProPublica commented
This is genuinely disturbing. The idea that someone at CDC headquarters needs to sign off on responses to basic data requests shows a level of media control beyond which I have ever seen. What’s next?
Felice Freyer of the Boston Globe tweeted
CDC is employed by taxpayers. Why shouldn't its work be readily shared with them?
At Health Care Renewal, we have often discussed the anechoic effect, a taboo against public discussion of many aspects of health care dysfunction, particularly those that might discomfit people who are personally profiting from the current system.  In particular, the currently dysfunctional health care system has made the leaders of big health organizations, particularly for-profit corporations,  hugely wealthy.  Furthermore, big health care organizations have been eager to develop financial relationships with health care professionals, academics, leaders of non-profit organizations and NGOs, etc, leading to a web of conflicts of interest draped over health care.  Who wants to speak out when doing so may offend not only distant CEOs, but also one's colleagues, bosses, friends, relatives etc who may have financial ties to those CEOs' corporations?  Furthermore, who wants to speak out when large corporations command huge marketing and public relations operations that can be used to drown out unwanted ideas, and legal departments ready to threaten litigation? Now government health care officials seem to be enlarging their own public relations efforts while shutting off access of honest information.  This will only make open discussion of the true causes of health care dysfunction more difficult.  Even more chilling is the threat that health care officials now may be attempting actual censorship.  We have depended on health care journalists to root out bad behaviors that lead to health care dysfunction, and by doing break taboos about discussion such behaviors.  Up to now we have assumed at least that government would not make it harder for journalists to do their job, protected by the Bill of Rights protections of free speech and a free press.  But now the current administration seems to be taking the side of censorship. From Censoship to Incitement of Violence? Even worse, some worry that the regime's hostility to journalists  threatens their actual harm.  In early September, the New York Times reported on comments by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who
was reacting to Mr. Trump’s recent comments at a rally in Phoenix during which he spoke of 'crooked media deceptions' in reports of the violent clashes at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., that resulted in the death of a counterprotester. In Phoenix, the president’s words also appeared to whip up audience hostility toward journalists. The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story. A Fake News Joke! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2017 'It’s really quite amazing when you think that freedom of the press, not only a cornerstone of the Constitution but very much something the United States defended over the years, is now itself under attack from the president himself,' [UN official] Mr. al-Hussein said. 'It’s a stunning turnaround.'
Furthermore,
'To call these news organizations fake does tremendous damage,' Mr. al-Hussein added. 'I believe it could amount to incitement. At an enormous rally, referring to journalists as very, very bad people — you don’t have to stretch the imagination to see then what could happen to journalists.'
Ominously, the response from the White House included more unsubstantiated charges of "false narratives," and threatened media tha fails to be responsible as judged by the regime, never mind the First Amendment and its promise of free speech and a free press. 
the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said in an emailed statement, 'We believe in free press and think it is an important part of our democracy, but the press also has a big responsibility to the American people to be truthful. Their job is to report the news, not create it. 'Is it not ‘dangerous’ for the media,' she continued, 'to create false narratives and overzealous attacks against the president that the American people chose to be their leader? The president is focused on growing our economy, creating jobs, securing our border and protecting Americans. Since those are also the priorities of most Americans, hopefully the media will make covering them theirs.'
Strong, even overzealous verbal and written attacks on politicians, the president included, have been essential parts of American democracy since the Bill of Rights was ratified.  The First Amendment shows that our political system values such boisterous discourse.  The White House press secretary thus threatened not only the press but the fundamental US system of government.   Strategic Hostility Finally, there is an argument that the regime's attacks on the media may not be just reckless, but  strategic and calculated.  The UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right of freedom of opinion and expression, Prof David Kaye of University of California - Irvine School of Law, wrote,
The President’s attacks may be reckless – who knows whether someone in his audience will take the President’s word as license to take action against enemies of the American people? – but they are not without purpose. They have concrete aims: to intimidate reporters into certain kinds of coverage, or clarify for his favored outlets what coverage he desires, or plant the seeds of doubt about news stories (such as the Russia investigation led by Robert Mueller).
Also,
However, when we tie together the jeremiads and rhetoric with what the Trump administration is doing in other governing spaces, the practice of attacking the press becomes clearer as policy than solely reckless rant. First, the attack on the press is not merely rhetorical; it is increasingly reflected in policy.
And,
Second, Trump’s incendiary statements work in tandem with a pattern of lying and disinformation, both aiming to limit the accessibility of truthful information. 
And,
Third, the administration operates as if it has something to hide.
Who knows what they might be hiding.  But there certainly have been plenty of accusations of  severe conflicts of interest and corruption affecting the Trump presidency? Summary Up to last year, I was cautiously optimistic that the anechoic effect was starting to erode, enabling the health care discussion to begin to encompass the deeper causes of health care dysfunction.  Since November, however, we seem to be going backward.  What little openness and transparency that were developing are at risk of sinking under a new tide of propaganda and censorship.  My concerns have primarily been about health care and health care dysfunction, but the larger trends threaten our whole society and the ability of the US to maintain itself as a republic.  Ben Franklin's warning becomes more acute.  What we have is only 
A republic if you can keep it. 
That will now take some work.   Article source:Health Care Renewal
