⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ｡.*✩彡 . . . BACKGROUND !

Luo Kaixin was born as the oldest of two brothers to an actor father and an opera singer mother, who had him only a few months before moving to Canada. From his childhood, he was always put into the spotlight, even after his mother retired from the spotlight and his father took on a smaller career as an author and film director before disappearing from their lives. Kaixin easily took up acting and singing, gaining his own following for appearing in commercials and landing small roles in movies that were directed by his father's friends. He also started busking for fun, eventually being scouted by Cre.ker Entertainment in 2015 when he was in South Korea one day to film for one of his father's friend's movies.

In 2016, Kaixin auditioned for Cre.ker Entertainment and got in, training for one year before debuting in the boy group The Boyz as the lead vocalist and visual KJ. However, in 2019, he left both the group and company for unknown reasons, though it is speculated that Kaixin may have been mistreated during his time in Cre.ker. He disappeared from the public eye for a few months before suddenly resurfacing as a new artist under STARBORN CREATIVE. He debuted as a soloist in 2021 under the stage name DOMINO.

April 11, 2024: The Coffin Maker Speaks, Lisa Suhair Majaj

The Coffin Maker Speaks Lisa Suhair Majaj

At first it was shocking—orders flooding in faster than I could meet. I worked through the nights, tried to ignore the sound of planes overhead, reverberations shaking my bones, acid fear, the jagged weeping of those who came to plead my services. I focused on the saw in my hand, burn of blisters, sweet smell of sawdust; hoped that fatigue would push aside my labor's purpose.

Wood fell scarce as the pile of coffins grew. I sent my oldest son to scavenge more but there was scant passage on the bombed out roads And those who could make it through brought food for the living, not planks for the dead. So I economized, cut more carefully than ever, reworked the extra scraps. It helped that so many coffins were child-sized.

I built the boxes well, nailed them strong, loaded them on the waiting trucks, did my job but could do no more. When they urged me to the gravesite— that long grieving gash in earth echoing the sky's torn warplane wound— I turned away, busied myself with my tools. Let others lay the shrouded forms in new-cut wood, lower the lidded boxes one by one: stilled row of toppled dominoes, long line of broken teeth. Let those who can bear it read the Fatiha over the crushed and broken dead. If I am to go on making coffins, Let me sleep without knowledge.

But what sleep have we in this flattened city? My neighbors hung white flags on their cars as they fled. Now they lie still and cold, waiting to occupy my boxes. Tonight I'll pull the white sheet from my window. Better to save it for my shroud.

One day, insha'allah, I'll return to woodwork for the living. I'll build door for every home in town, smooth and strong and solid, that will open quickly in times of danger, let the desperate in for shelter. I'll use oak, cherry, anything but pine.

For now, I do my work. Come to me and I'll build you what you need. Tell me the dimensions, the height or weight, and I'll meet your specifications. But keep the names and ages to yourself. Already my dreams are jagged Let me not wake splintered from my sleep crying for Fatima, Rafik, Soha, Hassan, Dalia, or smoothing a newborn newdead infant's face. Later I too will weep. But if you wish me to house the homeless dead, let me keep my nightmares nameless.

Everyone who has ever, even slightly, been Robin

*In official, DC-endorsed media 

Total: 100 (i think)

FYI:

my definition of a ‘Robin’ is extremely vague. For example, I’m counting Lois Lane because she went to a costume party as Robin, and I’m also counting ‘Boy’ from Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne because he had the domino mask paint and was clearly a stand-in for Robin. Et cetera.

They’re organized chronologically by their first appearance as Robin

Also this is heavily dependent on DC Fandom Wiki, so please let me know if I missed anyone or if anything is inaccurate

Red = actually Robin for a significant portion of time (more than a few in-universe days & more than one issue/episode/movie/etc)

Unrelated to your stories, but how did you become a BTS fan? And since when?

Oh jeez, it's been quite a while! Let me give you the rundown!

Back in 2012-ish, I was writing fanfic on Quotev...as an eleven-year-old 😂 Anyways I made a friend there a few years later who got me into anime and one of my favorite animes was Tokyo Ghoul. Well, about 2014 - 2015 (ish) there was this post trending that was saying "hey this guy looks like the real-life Ken Kaneki!" And it was actually Taehyung when he had white hair!

So being a young teen who was in love with anime characters I tried to figure out who he was and I discovered BTS at the time. Anyways I kind of forgot about them and moved on when my knowledge was satisfied. But then, back when Vine was around, I kept getting these edits of these guys dancing in an empty pool and I looked them up again and I was like "Ah ha! V! I know you!"

Anyways it was Fire and I added it to my playlist and I would actually work out to that song. At that time I was training to run a mile for Cheer because that was mandatory at my high school, so I would blast fire while I was dying at the track.

After that I started listening to them casually - I remember blasting Save Me, I Need U, and then Younger Forever which quickly became my favorites (especially Save ME).

But then Wings came out. My best friend told me about it and I listened to the entire thing and after that I wasn't a causal listener anymore 😂To this day, Wings is my favorite album and I don't even own a copy 😭

So! I became a pretty dedicated listener in 2016 - BTS was honestly the soundtrack of my high school years and they got me through so much shit. Set me on my fitness journey too which covid threw me off 😂

This was a really long explanation but I love looking at the domino effect of events that occurred o bring me to this point! I actually wanted to start writing in 2016-2017 but I stopped myself from doing it because I didn't think I knew enough about their personalities to do it and I am honestly glad I waited despite feeling like I lost time 😅

Ah, I'm so nostalgic now.

September 8, 1994

USAir Flight 427 crashed while on approach to Pittsburgh International Airport following a loss of control and airplane stall precipitated by an encounter with the wake of a preceding Boeing Model 727 airplane. The National Transportation Safety Board deemed that the loss of control was caused by a full rudder deflection in a direction opposite to that commanded by the flight crew (rudder reversal) in response to the wake encounter. During the upset, the elevator was commanded by the flight crew to its full-up position, resulting in an airplane stall, further compounding the loss of control. Control was never regained. The airplane crashed approximately six miles northwest of the airport, killing all 132 passengers and crewmembers. Subsequent to the accident, the Model 737 rudder system was redesigned to preclude an in-flight reversal. In addition, a training document, the Upset Recovery Training Aid, was produced by an industry team to aid in the development of training for recovery from in-flight upsets.

https://www.faa.gov/lessons_learned/transport_airplane/accidents/N513AU

✨🎈🧨

🎉🎉🎉

On 11 October 2012, the crew of a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 did not change frequency to TWR when instructed to do so by GND whilst already backtracking the departure runway and then made a 180° turn and took off without clearance still on GND frequency. Whilst no actual loss of ground or airborne safety resulted, the Investigation found that when the Captain had queried the receipt of a take off clearance with the First Officer, he had received and accepted a hesitant confirmation. Crew non-compliance with related AIP ground manoeuvring restrictions replicated in their airport briefing was also noted.

🤥🥳🤥

However, the FAA changed its attitude after a special task force, the Engineering Test and Evaluation Board,[14] reported in July 2000 that it had detected 46 potential failures and jams in the 737 rudder system that could have catastrophic effects. In September 2000, the FAA announced that it wanted Boeing to redesign the rudder for all iterations of the 737, affecting more than 3,400 aircraft in the U.S. alone.[14]

USAir submitted to the NTSB that pilots should receive training with regard to a plane's crossover speed and recovery from full rudder deflection.[6] As a result, pilots were warned of and trained how to deal with insufficient aileron authority at an airspeed at or less than 190 knots (352 km/h), formerly the usual approach speed for a Boeing 737. Boeing maintained that the most likely cause of the accident was that the co-pilot inadvertently deflected the rudder hard over in the wrong direction while in a panic and for unknown reasons maintained this input until impact with the ground.[1]: 96–100 [20] Boeing agreed to redesign the rudder control system with a redundant backup and paid to retrofit the entire worldwide 737 fleet.[21] Following one of the NTSB's main recommendations, airlines were required to add four additional channels of information into flight data recorders in order to capture pilot rudder pedal commands, and the FAA set a deadline of August 2001 for airlines to comply.[16] In 2016, former investigator John Cox stated that time has proven the NTSB correct in its findings, because no additional rudder-reversal incidents have occurred since Boeing's redesign.[22]

🤥🤥🤥

USAir Flight 427 was a scheduled flight from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport to Palm Beach International Airport, Florida, with a stopover at Pittsburgh International Airport. On Thursday, September 8, 1994, the Boeing 737 flying this route crashed in Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania while approaching Runway 28R at Pittsburgh, which was USAir's largest hub at the time.

🤕🥳🤕

🤠😱🤠

This accident was the second longest air crash investigation in history. The investigation into USAir 427 helped to also solve the crash of United Airlines Flight 585. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the probable cause was that the aircraft's rudder malfunctioned and went hard over in a direction opposite to that commanded by the pilots, causing the plane to enter an aerodynamic stall from which Captain Peter Germano and First Officer Charles B. Emmet III were unable to recover. All 132 people on board were killed, making the accident the deadliest air disaster in Pennsylvania's history. The reports indicated that hot hydraulic fluid entering the rudder's dual servo valve froze, causing the rudder to work in the opposite direction.

🙈🙉🙊

At the time of the crash, Flight 427 was the second-deadliest accident involving a Boeing 737 (all series); as of 2024, it now ranks as the ninth-deadliest. It was also the seventh-deadliest aviation disaster in the history of the United States, and the deadliest in the U.S. involving a 737; as of 2024, it ranks eleventh.[17] The accident marked USAir's fifth crash in the period from 1989 to 1994.[9] The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania spent approximately $500,000 in recovery and cleanup for the accident site.[18]

The FAA disagreed with the NTSB's probable-cause verdict and Tom McSweeney, the FAA's director of aircraft certification, issued a statement on the same day on which the NTSB report was issued that read: "We believe, as much as we have studied this aircraft and this rudder system, that the actions we have taken assure a level of safety that is commensurate with any aircraft."[19]

However, the FAA changed its attitude after a special task force, the Engineering Test and Evaluation Board,[14] reported in July 2000 that it had detected 46 potential failures and jams in the 737 rudder system that could have catastrophic effects. In September 2000, the FAA announced that it wanted Boeing to redesign the rudder for all iterations of the 737, affecting more than 3,400 aircraft in the U.S. alone.[14]

⛽🚨⛽

The event was reported to the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) at approximately 0736 hrs on 24 May 2013 by Heathrow Airport Operations and an AAIB investigation was commenced immediately. In accordance with the provisions of ICAO Annex 13, France (the state of aircraft design and manufacture) and the United States of America (the state of engine design and manufacture) appointed Accredited Representatives from the BEA and the NTSB , respectively. Technical assistance was also provided by the operator, the aircraft manufacturer (Airbus), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), International Aero Engines (IAE) and UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS).

🚀🛸🚀

🚑🚒🚑

The investigation determined that a maintenance error had led to the fan cowl doors on both engines being left unlatched following scheduled overnight maintenance on the aircraft. The unlatched condition of the fan cowl doors was not identified prior to the aircraft’s departure the next morning. A number of organisational factors were contributory to the maintenance error. The operator has since taken action to address these issues.

This, and numerous other similar events, shows that Airbus A320-family aircraft have a history of departing with the fan cowl doors unlatched. It is also evident that, in practice, the flight crew walk-around inspection is not entirely effective in detecting unlatched fan cowl doors and therefore a design solution is necessary. Enhanced methods of detection through design solutions are being considered by the aircraft manufacturer.

As a result of this investigation, five Safety Recommendations were made concerning: fatigue risk management; fan cowl door position warnings; fan cowl door certification requirements; in-flight damage assessments by cabin crew and aircraft evacuation procedures.

🔥☄️🔥 Nightshifts and overtime may have left staff ‘compromised by fatigue’ before incident on British Airways flight from Heathrow in 2013

A British Airways plane was forced into an emergency return to Heathrow, flying on one damaged engine with the other ablaze, because tired technicians had been working on the wrong aircraft, investigators have found.

Passengers aboard the London-Oslo flight in May 2013 were left terrified after the covers of both engines blew off seconds after the plane became airborne, leaving fuel streaming from one engine and starting a fire.

One of the two engine covers cut through a fuel pipe and the plane scattered debris – including chunks of metal weighing up to 37kg – across the Heathrow runway

🧭🧭🧭

The Air Accident Investigation Bureau found that the covers of the Airbus A319’s engine, the fan cowls, were left unlatched during maintenance by two technicians who intended to return and top up the oil. When the pair attempted to complete the task three hours later in the night shift, they went back to another plane, an Airbus A321, at a different stand, leaving the A319’s covers open.

Nightshifts and overtime may have left staff “compromised by fatigue”, investigators said. One of the two BA technicians had worked 70 hours over seven consecutive days and nights and was on the second of two 12-hour overtime nightshifts. The open covers were then missed by a pilot and a ground handler in inspections before takeoff.

Crew apparently failed to understand fully what passengers who witnessed the incident were telling them and an initial attempt by a senior cabin crew member to reach the captain was unsuccessful. Investigators found that “information regarding the fuel leak was not assimilated by the cabin crew and not passed to the flight crew as required”.

De Algemene Verwarring #119 - 30 September 2024

Episode one hundred and nineteen of De Algemene Verwarring was broadcast on Monday, September 30, 2024, and you can listen to it by clicking on the link below that will take you directly to the Mixcloud page:

Late with the duiding again! Pictured below is the Washington DC band Jawbox. I have very fond memories of their show in JH Sojo in Kessel-Lo (Leuven) and I'm always happy when a song of my favorite album of theirs "For Your Own Special Sweetheart" pops up, and still I never play their records anymore. There's in fact quite a simple reason for that: their records were released in different time zone: the nineties, and in that time zone I was buying cd's and almost no vinyl, and my cd's are stocked on the first floor of my house and I never ever think 'hey, let's have a look at my cd's and play some old shit'. Maybe I should do that more often. Anyway, I played a Jawbox song in this episode because they have a song with the word "green" in it, but I swear there is no political-ideological promotion talk in this episode.

There's more music from Melt Banana, Animal Collective, Amen Dunes, The March Violets, Sarah Davachi, Cosmonauts, The Fall, New Order, and more. And beneath the photo you can find the playlist for the show. Enjoy!

THE DOMINOS 2015-2024

2015: private citizen Trump fails topay to ‘bury skeletons’ before entering politics

2016; Trump pays hush money through Michael Cohen and creates fraudulent business documents to hide the fact.

2017: story breaks in media; FEC investigates; Michael Cohen indicted

2018: M. Cohen convicted of making an illegal campaign contribution (politically motivated hush money payment exceeds individual allowable) creating fraudulent business documents (billing for hush money as legal work) lying to federal officials and several unrelated tax evasion and bank fraud charges.

Alan Weisselberg gave testimony under immunity linking payment to Cohen by Trump Organization.

Trump not indicted by FEC - no explanation made as to why.

2018-2021: Trump fights tooth and nail to prevent New York State investigators from accessing his business records. (I guess this pauses statute of limitations?)

2021: Trump loses appeal before SCOTUS which rules for NY and grants access.

BASED on DOCUMENTS OBTAINED EXCLUSIVELY from the TRUMP ORGANIZATION the following TRIALS OCCUR

2022: Weisselberg convicted on tax evasion based on illegal perks provided through Trump Payroll Company.

2022: As part of plea deal, Weisselberg testifies against Trump Payroll Co in criminal trial.

Trump Payroll found guilty on all counts and fined $1.6M (max legal fine).

Unknown what back taxes and penalties. Trump, offspring and other execs owe.

2023: Trump sued in civilly by the State of New York for bank fraud.

State makes Motion for Summary Judgment.

Judge Engoron gives Trump Defense countermotions TWO MORE TIMES tthan any other Defendant has ever received.

Trump Defense still FAILS THREE TIMES to effectively dispute any allegation.

Engoron rules against Trump three times.

Three times Trump appeals Engoron’s rulings and loses three times.

Judge Engoron rules for the State.

Trump fined half a billion dollars in Penalty phase.

Trump businesses remain under the oversight of a Independent Monitor reporting to Judge Engoron.

Although Trump retains his business he OWES OVER A BILLON DOLLARS to banks on properties that his own business documents indicate aren’t worth a billion. Many, including most of his golf courses, are hemorrhaging money.

2024: Trump Criminal Trial on 34 counts of creating fraudulent documents related to the 2016 Hush money payment.

Trump Defense FAILS to dispute the validity of a single charge.

Instead Defense goes off the rails focusing most cross-examination time and sole Defense Witness to accuse M. Cohen of the crimes for which he was convicted in 2018.

While IGNORING that Cohen’s conviction established as ADJUDICATED FACT that the Trump organization PROVIDED THE HUSH MONEY - just as the Prosecution alleged.

Trump Defense FAILS to recall any Prosecution Witness as a Defense Witness so that by Direct examination they could ask questions not asked by the Prosecutor.

Questions which would provide an alternative Narrative to the Prosecution’s. (Failure likely driven by DJT not having any viable excuses?).

Trump convicted on 34 felony counts.

Wydarzył sie taki butny wpis, jest poniżej.

Jest to informacja o historii mojego życia do tej pory, w skrócie wycinek doświadczeń wybranych. Latem 2012 podczas pracy w Kaliszu jest mowa o byciu poważnym oraz o zrównoważonym wykorzystaniu źródeł energii (wg. licznika). Jesienią właściciel firmy budowlanej wskazywał mi, że uczyć się należy szybko tzn. dużo, ale też zaistniałaby sytuacja jakiejś krótkiej piłki w razie jakichś pretensji. Praca na budowie w Niemczech to również wystawienie na próbę wytrzymałości psychicznej. Ale pytanie, "do czego zmierza człowiek" wspomniane chyba nie przypadkiem na kazaniu, pozwala nam to rozumieć na wspak, że polacy i europejczycy stoją przed podobnymi wyzwaniami (patrz ParkM, spring 2015). Natomiast ciekawe pytanie skierował do mnie normalny właściciel zakładu wulkanizacyjnego "jak żyjesz", też takie padło. Ja bym to powiedział swoimi słowami "Jak przebiega twoje życie, a jak twoje życie ma wyglądać".  Jesienią 2015 roku jeden z pracowników tam stwierdził przy wymianie opon, przecież się nie "cos-tam-cos-tam". Podczas mojej pracy w firmie InPost (january 2023) jeden z pracowników, którego znałem jeszcze z DK-Prof stwierdził "żebym nie przesadzał i był przy zmysłach healthy", poprawiał mnie wręcz i jest właściwym stwierdzić, żeby mógł nawet powiedzieć tak jak i przed nim wielu "nie wymyślać kurde mać". Opowiada się chociażby za tym, by wyrwać się ze swojego własnego świata. Podzielam jego opinie.

Szanuję swoją przeszłość i ludzi, których widzę oczami wyobraźni.....świadomy jestem, że wiele rzeczy mnie określa jako człowieka. Znam takich ludzi, których cenię, ale nie zawsze za to kim są D. Jędrzejka, Śmiałka czy Leona Morzywołka. Zwracam na nich większą uwagę za ich niezmierzone dążenie do uczciwości. R. Iwan, D. Wnękowicz czy A. Sułkowski to mieszkańcy Łukowicy lub Limanowej raczej nieinspirujący, a nawet jeśli, to nie dla każdego. Wystarczy wspomnieć też o innych mniej lub bardziej pozytywnych lokalsach, o Wiktorze Jakimś i M. Twarogu z firmy w Limanowej (wy prawdopodobnie znacie ich), u Sławomirze, o Pietrzakach z Łukowicy Dolnej - starszy jego brat pracuje w wulkanizacji, o K. Gądkowskim, który kieruje busem można mówić godzinami. Człowiek na właściwym miejscu, odpowiedni. A pamiętacie Grześka Więcławka i Arielę Niegoc? Dużo niegdysiejszych znajomych pracuje za granicą (Maciek Zaczyk?). Nawiązuję też do studentów z Krakowa. Powodzenia (chyba) w pracy zawodowej i życiu prywatnym. Superowi są Marek Dżyż z Myślenic oraz znajomy z Krynicy, M. Domino. Parę razy pisałem gdzieś o A. Sieczce oraz o Adamie Szołtysie, ludzie wystarczający i ciekawscy świata, zresztą tak jak L. Kisiały oraz K. Klimczak, a nawet E. Świder. Swe piętno odcisnęła na mnie praca jako pomiarowy geofizyczny (early spring 2017).

Zwracali mi uwagę, "bym siebie widział" na mnie także faceci i panie z firmy prowadzącej działalność w chemii gospodarczej (2018-2020), ludzie na ulicy oraz niektórzy politycy (nie wiem którzy, nie znam ich in-personus) ........ Natomiast czasami mam do czynienia z niefajnymi filmikami na youtubie, ale istnieją jeszcze głupsze booki, które są wierutną bzdurą. A więc liczą się dobre książki oraz pożyteczne video w mediach internetowych.

Nie zagadujcie mnie lub coś w tym stylu. Czuje się ponadto zobowiązany to przedstawienia innych. Kojarzycie listonosza, sklep budowlany we dworze, złom oraz firmy w Podegrodziu oraz w Szczawie? Istnieje takie cosik.  Warto nawiązać do pracowników z DK-Prof, z racji trwania pracy nie pamiętam ich nazwisk, ale ludzi znam np. wiking, czy Andrzej oraz Tomek z działu rolet (pisze tylko imiona, nie znam ich nazwisk, ale pewnie ich znają ludzie tamtejsi).  Superowi ludzie, nie zawsze oczywiście, ale to już było. Odkryjcie też prawdziwą naturę brygadzisty oraz ludzi w średnim wieku z trzeciej sekcji, ich nazwiska są znane wiadomym ludziom.

Przepracowanie traumy niezależnie oraz resocjalizacja poprzez pisanie dobrych książek praktycznych definiuje naszą wartość. Nie ufać ślepo innym, and then life is like riding on vehicle.

Day 46 2015

Spent a lovely weekend with my other lovely niece

#picoftheday #project365 #day46

This picture is hard for me look at. I weighed the most I ever have in my life and felt horrible both inside and out. AND YET, I hold a little child that hasn't yet been told anything other than she is beautiful. We are born loving our bodies. That is not a look of disgust she wears because she has to sit in my lap. That is pure contentment knowing she is loved unconditionally (and always will be by this aunt)!
