#there's some extra consideration re: power dynamics in that physicality

[commsroom]

comparing hera's performance review in the live show to memoria - considering that the events of memoria are also a kind of performance review - is so so fascinating. wording like "'still in orbit' is not good enough" and "maybe you can do this. maybe there are steps that we need to take-" and especially "don't you tell me that you can help me by sticking your fingers in my head [...] don't you dare tell me that i am not good enough!" the 'solution' that maxwell offers hera is uncomfortably similar to cutter's threat: "these sorts of breakdowns are almost always a cognitive block from a corrupted memory file. if i can just figure out which are the problematic ones and delete - [...] i can do this with or without your cooperation." vs. "we could start by deleting some of your memory files. i can only imagine how traumatic what alexander did must have been. those memories might be affecting your ability to perform your duties." ... the primary goal is to 'help' her, as in 'help her get back to work.' add the physicality canon to memoria, and inherent to the medium of the live show... the way cutter looks at hera the whole time he's talking to her, but she very purposefully looks anywhere else. he knows he's won the moment hera turns to look back.

Do you think Kazuomi is actually really serious with his relationship with mc? Because I don't think so and I feel bad since his mc is most likely be more invested in their relationship emotion-wise.... Same goes with Kei too, even though his hasn't overcome his trauma but I think he shouldn't be in a relationship with his mc (cant put it into words). How would you rank them in terms of "serious, emotionly and mentally stable, compatability" since imho only yuzu and his mc are a fit lol

hmmmmmm good question. i have to admit that i haven’t yet played kazu’s s2 fully (but have read his s2 pov and the epis) but the feeling i get from his and his mc’s relationship is that it’s a really fresh relationship which hasn’t yet matured. kazuomi and his mc are a good match in terms of chemistry and compatibility in that they always challenge each other. i did think they were finally getting close in obscura where he finally got to see her ‘real self’ and i was kinda hoping they would drop the whole games thing and really start to get to know each other beyond the banter. and then they kind of went and reversed that development with nudus and season 2. his s2 pov made me realise that at that time, he wasn’t actually in love with his mc, he’s just attracted to her more intensely than he has been with the other women in her life. so he ‘fell’ for her in season 1 but in my opinion it wasn’t really love. and tbh even at the end of his season 2, i think he likes her VERY much but i’m still on the fence as to whether or not it’s love. i think it’s pretty obvious from the way i talk about my favourite voltage moments/characters/couples that i love DEVELOPMENT lol and i just feel like with kazu and his mc, there is a sort of sense of arrested development? one of the big issues in his season 2 imo that i feel didn’t get resolved in his pov (i can’t say about the main route) is that he is confronted with having to change his way of life for the sake of his gf and their relationship and yet every time he chooses to just do things his own way? 

edit: rest of the answer placed under cut for season 2 spoilers + length

for kazu, i feel like their relationship will only mature when he’s willing to give up the core aspects of his “selling points” (money/power/games) for his mc and their relationship. i do understand that they’re still pretty early on in their relationship, like it’s just been a matter of months and you don’t get deep with people that easily, but i hope that we do eventually get to see him really change in the future and they can love each other sincerely for who they are underneath all the games and banter. i think that’s why i love his self-pleasure story in otkoi bc we just got to see kazu do stuff that’s so not his style just for her, and then they had a really straightforward and wholesome talk about what’s missing in their relationship without being hidden behind codes and games. 

i think they rely so much on the concept of kazuomi as thrilling that we don’t really get to see that many genuine moments with him which i’m a bit sad about, because i love his genuine side the most. even in devians, when he was pretending to be normal, he still orchestrated everything and then the story took it back to that whole concept where the selling point of the route is that kazuomi is really rich and powerful and does huge grand gestures. i don’t mind that bc kazuomi is Extra to his very core but i really miss the REAL kazuomi that we saw in his s1 being all soft for just like... seeing busy and vibrant spaces full of happy people.

insert that magneto “i prefer the real [owner of the] raven [hotel]” meme lmao.

ANYWAY i do think that his occultus second night shows him finally starting to open up a little outside of just like “you’re the only one who can match up to my wits”. i feel like kazuomi showing off with grand gestures and flaunting his wealth and power is kind of his way of coping with the loneliness and trauma of the darkest part of his life, which is why it’s so significant that he lets her into the space where he was at a low point living in that motel before meeting zack. i hope that we get to see kazu really have to sacrifice some of his current core values/priorities for the sake of his mc, and i hope the way he thinks about her changes to become deeper and more mature beyond just like “she can always stand up to my challenges” - basically going from liking and being attracted to her to really loving her. 

with kei, i have a lot of mixed feelings about how bdsm is presented. since i’m not a mental health professional, i don’t really want to make any strong comments about what’s healthy or not when dealing with childhood trauma aside from like the idea that therapy is important (although kei himself admits that he’s actively driven away all his therapists). but i agree that he hasn’t overcome his trauma and, like kazu, still hasn’t even after the events of his s2. i haven’t read any of the content after his s2 main story so i can’t speak on what happens when his mc meets his grandparents and such but just based on the way he just peaced out during his s2, it’s evident that his issues manifest through at the very least his phobia of commitment (not even going to comment on the way he acted when her necklace was broken and how she was literally afraid of his reaction and also the way he like... forced her to drink juice? i picked the option where i tried to reject the juice and the fact that he forced me to anyway and she drank it bc she was afraid of him made me really uncomfortable lol). in my opinion, his sexual relationship with his mc is also very much based on his issues with power and control (ostensibly stemming from trauma) and she kind of bends over backwards to not step on his toes when it comes to his control issues. my experience with bdsm is that communication (and aftercare lol) is so important for maintaining a healthy relationship but i just kind of feel like she’s not necessarily an active participant as a sub and doesn’t really know what being a sub entails in a healthy dynamic but rather is just like going along with what he wants bc (1) it’s thrilling maybe? (they really play up the like physical pleasure aspect) and (2) he might be kinda distant if they don’t do it like that? i guess? i don’t really know bc i don’t tend to read his stories bc i’m not like the most comfortable with how they deal with power play. 

i do think that the relationship he has with his mc isn’t exactly a balanced and healthy relationship? and i also think that kazuomi’s relationship (that we’ve seen so far) is also kinda unhealthy lol. essentially, with both kazu and kei, i feel like their relationships with their mcs kind of enable (what i perceive to be) the coping mechanism aspects of their personalities. 

WITH THAT SAID, i don’t think that people need to be at a fully stable and emotionally mature place to fall in love and start relationships and honestly voltage loves doing the thing where like the mc falls for awful people bc they’re only so mean bc they're so broken and she wants to fix them uwu shinobu narita lmao which personally i don’t like, but it does make for dramatic routes and does set up for future development. it’s still early stages yet in their relationships since i think they’ve only been together for a few months, and they’re definitely still testing the waters. i think we’re being tricked/distracted by all those dramatic climax moments into thinking that their relationship is really serious but tbh they are just barely beginning to actually open up to each other. i just hope that they allow the love interests (and their respective mcs) to mature and develop into healthy people without just throwing out life threatening routes where the relationship dynamic doesn’t necessarily change but it just becomes about newer and grander ways of making big and powerful gestures to save the situation lol. does that make sense? i don’t know if i’m articulating myself well. 

but anyway i agree, from season 1 i always though yuzu’s mc was the best out of all of them. and they are the only ones who have a remotely healthy relationship like why is the yuzu the only one who’s actually considerate? sometimes he can be such an obtuse block of wood but that’s just who he is as a person. and when it comes to the important stuff, he’s actually the most willing to change and compromise for his mc. like... the Difference between kazuomi and his mc’s contract scene vs yuzu and his mc’s contract scene is kind of astronomical. even in yuzu’s devians which is like 3 chapters long only, you can see his growth from being an insensitive blockhead to really trying to understand what she needs from their relationship. and just looking at the way that he treats her emotions re: their relationship has evolved from treating it like a beta test where they give each other feedback reports to him embracing her ‘bugs’? that’s growth babey. time for kazuomi and kei to learn some lessons from the only valid masquerader.

How To Navigate Your Company Culture Post-COVID-19 – Work It Daily

There’s little doubt that issues have shifted dramatically because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, leaders are asking themselves exhausting questions.

What does the following “normal” appear like for them? And, how can they efficiently implement new points of their tradition into this new regular?

Here are 4 key issues leaders should take into account in the event that they wish to actually dwell their tradition within the subsequent new regular.

The Past Is Present?

The 2008 monetary disaster compelled leaders to rethink operations, provide chain, vendor administration, worker engagement, ethics, and integrity. Layoffs have been widespread and cash vanished, whereas the actual property market collapsed amidst massive financial institution failures fueled by shoppers incapability to pay extreme mortgages.

It’s now 2020: The pandemic well being disaster is new, but the financial dynamics appear eerily acquainted. With the exception of “essential workers” within the meals (grocer), security, and well being sectors, enterprise has shut down. Supply chain distributors, grocers, and healthcare techniques battle to maintain tempo with shopper want/demand as we expertise curler-coaster an infection charges, re-openings, and new shut-downs. How to outlive that is anybody’s guess as on daily basis brings on new circumstances and extra questions.

According to a Fortune 500 CEO survey, 97.2 % of CEO’s stated holding workers secure and productively employed is their #1 concern. (1)

An organization’s robust worker tradition and the power to pivot rapidly with evolving dynamics are key to thriving Post-COVID.

“Return” to Workspace (RTWS) — Can We? Should We? How Do We?

An organization’s tradition should completely drive this query. Grant Reid, MARS CEO, stated, “Part of my job is to import stress and export serenity…how do you bring them back safely into a work environment, keep the social distance and allow them to be successful and safe? Your associates are looking for stability, some hope, some compassion, some trust.” (2)

The bodily facet of return is essential. “Companies are re-evaluating physical layouts specific to each employee. They are looking at common areas; multi-tenant commercial spaces…and rearranging reception common areas.” (2)

Workstations want extra distance and hallways have to develop into one-method venues. Employers should additionally consider testing protocols for workers, frequency of testing, and certified caregivers conducting these assessments. GoHealth Urgent Care is offering scientific again-up when employer sources are unavailable. (3)

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has created steering on engineering and administrative controls for getting ready the office for re-entry. (4) And, the EEOC has issued up to date steering on how employers can keep away from violating the ADA and different employment legal guidelines in addressing the virus. (5)

Significant considerations come up for Workers Compensation insurance coverage. Historically, neighborhood-unfold diseases (e.g. chilly or flu) have been excluded. Six states lately handed “presumptive” laws, and 14 complete have expanded rules to incorporate COVID-19 as a office sickness. To complicate issues, different accidents within the office might go unreported, or claims closures prolonged since non-pressing remedy is delayed in most jurisdictions. (6)

Regulatory Climate: “Innovating Change, Governance & Compliance”

One of the various challenges from this pandemic has been coping with an ever-altering regulatory local weather. With Workers Compensation rule modifications, amendments to well being advantages, the necessity for Childcare/Adult care, and the implementation of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), firms have struggled to make troublesome choices to care for his or her workers.

This is the time to search for revolutionary methods to step up worker advantages equivalent to including paid sick go away, amending sick insurance policies to make sure workers are paid even when the enterprise is closed, and limitless paid sick go away even for employees not beforehand lined, equivalent to hourly employees. Adding youngster care reimbursement, and elevated emergency youngster care and eldercare advantages will help your workers cope with the pressures of working from residence.All group well being plans might want to undertake modifications to make sure that their plans adjust to modifications made by the FFCRA and the CARES Act and supply enough advantages to fight COVID-19. (7) Under the acts, group well being plans must do the next:

– Cover the complete value with out value-sharing (i.e., deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance) of testing for COVID-19. This requirement extends to assessments supplied by each in-community and out-of-community suppliers and is remitted at some stage in the general public well being emergency. Both swab assessments that gather a specimen from a person’s higher respiratory tract to diagnose a case of COVID-19 and accepted blood assessments that search for antibodies to the coronavirus have to be lined

– Once developed, group well being plans can even be required to offer protection with none value-sharing for coronavirus vaccines.

To reduce the anxiousness of your workers, take into account including or extending psychological well being advantages which are customized and confidential, and supply telehealth providers.

Employee Wellness and Benefits: “Are You Walking the Talk?”

According to J.S. Nelson, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law professor, “The working landscape has changed, perhaps forever. How employees and management move forward from this experience will shape the workplace for decades to come. These challenges include” :

1. Recognizing particular person circumstances

2. Reacting with empathy when feeling uncontrolled

3. Maintaining transparency when feeling uncontrolled

4. Not profiting from the state of affairs to push different agendas

5. Remembering the facility of healthcare and profit protection whereas not abusing them (8)

Understanding the place your group stands on these moral challenges is an efficient basis for the choices you must make for the longer term. Questions you then have to ask are:

– Are your mission, values, and tradition nonetheless related immediately and within the close to, very completely different future? Do you’ve got a course of in place to repeatedly assess this?

– Is your tradition serving to or hindering your firms’ efficiency?

– Are your workers weathering this “storm”? What do they want much less of or extra of to be happier and extra productive? Can you even reply this query? Do you understand how they really feel?

– Are you searching for alternatives for hyper-personalization on your workers and prospects? For instance, do you give workers whose psychological well being points worsened by working from residence alone, precedence when coming again to the workplace?

– How your workers view your stand on range, inclusion, fairness, and belonging have all the time been necessary, however with the extremely focus previously few weeks, how would you charge your group? Have you made this a precedence?

Your firm’s capability to successfully navigate the affect and stress on the worker base will drive resiliency and lengthy-time period sustainability. Your associates would be the first to say whether or not RTWS was profitable, which inevitably can be mirrored in your group’s product and in the end in buyer satisfaction.

SpaceX Starship prototype exploded, but it’s still a giant leap towards Mars

Non-public firm SpaceX launched SN8, a prototype of its Starship spacecraft, designed to go to the Moon and Mars, on December 10. Its brief flight attracted a substantial amount of consideration for it’s closing few seconds earlier than touchdown – when it exploded.

However contemplate the close to excellent totality of its six-and-a-half-minute flight. Have a look at the groundbreaking know-how and manoeuvres concerned. It’s cheap to view this as a massively profitable take a look at.

Extraordinary spacecraft return to Earth by utilizing the “aerodynamic drag” within the environment to sluggish their re-entry. Decelerating from 20,000 mph dissipates a variety of warmth which is why they carry warmth shields, and the ultimate touchown is managed by parachutes. The precise rocket engines don’t make a protected touchdown – they fritter away and crash into the ocean.

This can be a actual waste of sources. SpaceX’s founder and CEO Elon Musk is as an alternative making an attempt to reuse as a lot of the spacecraft as doable. In case your final vacation spot is the Moon and onward to Mars, this makes a variety of sense as a result of you’ll be able to way more simply refuel at considered places alongside the best way than construct a brand new rocket.

Starship is a completely reusable rocket system designed to hold 100 tonnes of cargo into Earth orbit and past. It has a “booster” first stage which propels it into orbit and separates. The booster stage is designed to land safely and to be reused. SpaceX found out how to do that with the Falcon rocket, however that’s solely two thirds of the system. With Starship, the third of the system that helps propel the spacecraft additional than Earth orbit isn’t ejected.

Touchdown the primary stage booster is “simple” as a result of it’s ejected two minutes after launch and due to this fact returns to Earth from a comparatively low altitude – by no means reaching tremendous excessive speeds. NASA defines “excessive” hypersonic velocity as a “Mach quantity” from 10 to 25. The booster solely reaches about Mach 6.

Starship itself will likely be getting back from orbit, reaching Mach 25. At this velocity, the warmth of reentry will soften the engines off. You due to this fact want a considerable warmth protect which dissipates 99% of the power – defending the cargo and people all-important rockets that you just want for touchdown. NASA’s partially reusable Area Shuttle had enormous wings used to glide the car onto a runway. However wings are heavy and so they scale back the potential payload capability. Additionally, they received’t work on Mars or the Moon as a result of there’s an absence of environment – and runways.

Stomach-flop dynamics

The ingenuity of Starship is that it simply “belly-flops” all the best way down – a kind of free fall wherein the environment steadily slows down its velocity. Because it nears the bottom, it must be sluggish sufficient for a brief flip-and-landing burn to the touch down softly on the pad.

Engineering inspiration: the epic stomach flop. Stacey Lynn Payne/Shuttestock

No different car flies like this on objective. Planes are designed to maintain the air circulate connected to the wings to offer carry. In the event you lose that air circulate, you fall out of the sky – a situation known as stall. Starship enters the environment at a 90 diploma angle. Meaning it’s absolutely stalled. Simply as a leaf flutters to the bottom that is an inherently unstable configuration and the aerodynamics are unimaginable to foretell.

That is the place energetic management is available in. Starship has 4 flaps and so they’re used simply as a skydiver makes use of their 4 arms to manage free fall. With the SN8 take a look at flight, Area X has proven that it’s doable to manage a belly-flop. The drop from 12.5km gave SpaceX the situations of the final half of a return again from orbit.

SpaceX can have gathered flight information that permits it to know the way the aerodynamics of a belly-flop work. Particularly, it would know the way properly the flaps work and the way exactly to maintain the craft steady and land it heading in the right direction. We will see on the movies launched by SpaceX that the flaps are underneath good management. This seems to be like nice information for SpaceX.

Rocket equation

Being absolutely reusable, Starship ought to work out far cheaper than typical single use craft. However it’s a tough enterprise to work out precisely how a lot gas it’s worthwhile to carry. Standard plane all the time take off with a little bit of gas to spare, however they’ll all the time make an emergency touchdown in the event that they miscalculate.

Rockets have to launch with an unlimited quantity of gas simply to make certain you’ve gotten sufficient for the touchdown. It’s like happening a 14-day tenting journey and spending 13 days carrying the water to your final day. It’s possible that the tank for SN8 was virtually fully empty when it got here in to land.

The quantity of gas you want is given by “the rocket equation”. This reveals that if you wish to launch 100 tonnes of payload to the Moon at a velocity of 12,000 metres per second you want a staggering 2,000 tonnes of gas.

With regards to the kind of gas, it’s attention-grabbing that kerosene and hydrogen (as utilized by Apollo 11) are nonetheless the most well-liked rocket fuels round. The legal guidelines of physics and chemistry haven’t modified very a lot in fifty years. However Starship is definitely pioneering using methane as a gas. Regardless of being tougher to work with, it provides a bit extra thrust. And maybe extra importantly there’s loads of methane on Mars, which is clearly the final word vacation spot for SpaceX.

So why did SN8 crash? You may see within the video some inexperienced flashes simply earlier than touchdown. The engines are made with copper, which burns with a attribute inexperienced flame. SpaceX says there was an issue with gas stress simply on the final second, that means the rocket couldn’t decelerate. The ensuing extra oxygen began burning up the engines themselves. If it weren’t for the previous few seconds then the touchdown may have been excellent. Engineers will now be trying to repair that downside for SN9.

Enhanced Mind Control

Created Mind Control

This is an assumed paper on a suggestion I’ve calling Perfected Mind Control or PMC for quick. With PMC I desire to develop a system of mind control that does all or a great deal of conclusion end results of standard mind control yet is missing out on of all the strong elements that are clarified in Robert Jay Lifton’s Eight Point Model of Thought Reform.

You see, I’m walking a wonderful line listed below nevertheless see something that can have some promise. Terms keep in mind: Today Mind control or brainwashing in academia is usually described as powerful persuasion, strong psychological systems or powerful influence. The short recap listed here originates from Dr. Margaret Singer, educator emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley the identified leading authority in the world on mind control as well as additionally cults.

The Goal of Perfected Mind Control (PMC) is to entirely eliminate any type of kind of presumption or decline of browbeating while expanding the subjects capacity to select. Is it mind control? It is established to ensure that the subject gains greater control of their mind as well as additionally a better degree of flexibility in their activities.

Risk is defined as, “to tighten or restrict by force …” Legally it typically recommends using PHYSICAL FORCE or physical or authorized risk. This conventional concept of browbeating is far better identified than the technological concepts of “strong persuasion” which function restricting, hurting, or involving through the dynamic application of PSYCHOLOGICAL FORCES.

A strong persuasion program is a therapy modern-day innovation pertaining to activate the “finding” along with “promoting” of a collection of activities or an idea under particular troubles. It is determined from different other sort of benign social understanding or calm persuasion by the troubles under which it is accomplished as well as likewise by the approaches of social along with environmental modification made use of to minimize details behaviors in addition to enlighten others. Slowly, strong persuasion, a psychological stress comparable in some way to our authorized concepts of unneeded effect, can be a great deal a lot more reputable than pain, misuse, drugs, along with usage physical stress as well as likewise legal threats.

Today, they are not required for a powerful persuasion program to be dependable. With drugs, physical pain, torture, or likewise an essentially powerful danger, you can regularly quickly make someone do something versus their will.

The expression versus their will definitely recommends that an individual has a clear established purpose. The fact is that truly incredibly number of people have in fact considered their functions according to an additional point can not be advised. As a major understanding of Perfected Mind Control this concept allows simply the uncommon number of that truly have a will to be left out from any type of type of effect.

This is a whole lot different as well as additionally a lot less awful than that which you have the capability to achieve with the restorations of powerful persuasion. With strong persuasion you can change people’s point of views without their understanding in addition to accord. You can generate new “point of views” where they will definitely do factors willingly which they formerly may have detested, factors which previously simply torture, physical pain, or medications can have encouraged them to do.

The critical to PMC is to supply all new concepts in relation to finding in addition to all kind of rejection in relation to judgment as well as likewise prejudice

The growths in the extreme nervousness along with emotional tension and also anxiousness production modern-day innovations found in powerful persuasion supersede old style browbeating that focuses on pain, torture, medications, or risk due to the fact that these older systems do not modify state of mind to make sure that subjects abide by orders “willingly.” Strong persuasion modifications both point of view AND activities, not JUST activities.

THE PURPOSES AND TACTICS OF COERCIVE PERSUASION Strong persuasion or thought reform as it remains in some instances identified, is ideal acknowledged as a collaborated with system of completed strong effect in addition to activities regulate created to stealthily in addition to surreptitiously readjust in addition to impact individuals, generally in a group configuration, in order for the begetters of the program to earn money in some way, usually financially or politically.

The essential approach used by those running such programs is to systematically pick, collection in addition to coordinate plenty of powerful persuasion techniques over CONTINUOUS PERIODS OF TIME. There are 7 significant method kinds situated in many blends in a strong persuasion program. A strong persuasion program can still be relatively effective without the presence of ALL 7 of these strategy kinds.

FEATURE AND TACTICS OF ‘PERFECTED MIND CONTROL The goal of PMC is to release the mind from subconscious along with automatic responses that harm. The methods are made to have a minimum of judgment as well as additionally moralization to them so to activate limited discomfort. The techniques highlight choice as well as additionally self-awareness with a continual welcome to rejoin as well as additionally leave in the understanding.

METHOD 1. The individual is prepared yourself for concept reform by means of improved suggestibility and/or “softening up,” specifically by means of numerous other or hypnotic suggestibility-increasing approaches such as: A. Extended audio, visual, talked, or receptive dependency drills; B. Excessive accurate duplicating of routine jobs; C. Decreased remainder; D. Nutritional restriction.

In order for any kind of private to authorize a new concept, yes, they need to be softened up. With PMC this is done by just intending out the methods in which a people responses as well as additionally choices are automated in addition to simply exactly how the automated responses constraints their ability to select.

Taking advantage of fines along with advantages, campaigns are made to establish considerable control over a person’s social setup, time, along with sources of social aid. Economic as well as likewise different other dependancy on the group is advertised. (In the leader to strong persuasion, brainwashing, this was rather really simple to achieve with fundamental prison time.).

Stunned apparent silence for example or simply considering the floor covering with shivering the head have a strong result on the internal feelings of the subject. Just asking in a Dr. Phil kind tone How has that been working for you?

Disconfirming information along with nonsupporting perspective are prohibited in group communication. Communication is exceptionally managed.

, if debate changes the subject away from that the subject ought to be acknowledged for including as well as asked to return to the topic.. If the diversion continues the subject should certainly be compassionately notified that they aren’t yet ready to find as well as likewise that it’s not their error as well as likewise asked to return at one even more time or just remain to be silent along with focus.

STRATEGY 4. Extreme along with consistent initiatives are made to set off a private to re-evaluate among one of the most major aspects of his/her experience of self along with previous conduct in damaging techniques. Efforts are developed to endanger the subject as well as additionally damaged’s common recognition, reality acknowledgment, world view, emotional control, as well as additionally protection response along with getting them to reinterpret their life’s history, in addition to welcome a new variant of beginning.

Fine-tuned Mind Control instead focuses at first on the based upon re-evaluate any type of kind of element of their life in any kind of sort of new ways. The degree of success is identified by precisely just how the subject responds positively to this brand-new (yet most likely additionally little) understanding. Making a smooth training course all established for any type of kind of added understandings.

APPROACH 5. Regular along with severe initiatives are made to intimidate a person’s confidence in himself in addition to his judgment, creating a sensation of powerlessness.

When their behaviors did not pair up to their discussed well worths, as in routing out times. While this does have some very little well worth the emphasis of PMC hops on the motivation that stems from much better choices along with increased adaptability.

TECHNIQUE 6. In Perfected Mind Control this is absolutely remained free from by making the only charge silence or shivering the head rather while considering the ground.

APPROACH 7.

In Perfected Mind Control the only psychological threat is not being among us. Old Mind control strategies made it simply us/them while the not sure allows the subject additional decrease to go back to us. For the people using Perfected Mind Control this system has a bigger photo.

In Perfected Mind Control people will definitely be asked as well as additionally advised to leave the group to find what a whole lot extra is readily available. Their alternative to return or otherwise is regularly valued. Those that return will absolutely do so with a lot more commitment along with those that leave will definitely still continue to be in the technicality of communication. An extra collection of demands concern defining numerous other typical elements of mind control systems. If several of Robert Jay Lifton’s 8 variable variation of concept reform is being made usage of in a cultic business, it is most likely a damaging as well as additionally harmful cult. These 8 variables follow:.

Robert Jay Lifton’s Eight Point Model of Thought Reform.

ENVIRONMENT CONTROL. Constraint of many/all type of communication with those outside the group.

Enhanced Mind Control deter restrictions such as action in with our community by inconveniencing to do unless under the most effective situations or with simply proper preparation job. Improved Mind Control also advises straight exposure to outdoors information within the context of … contrasting it to what you presently comprehend with us.

2. ENCHANTING MANIPULATION. The feasible change to the group becomes encouraged of the better goal as well as additionally special phone calls of the group with a considerable experience/ experience, for example, with a declared marvel or pythonic word of those in the group.

Established Mind Control will absolutely highlight that the simply higher feature is acknowledging that sensation of right in addition to inaccurate subconsciously filters what they have the capability to uncover. Concepts is a challenge to understanding. As understanding is the necessary to ideal freedom as well as the convenience to deal as well as pleasure in with anything that life supplies you.

A details purpose of the group is to bring concerning some type of alteration, whether it get on a global, social, or specific level. “Perfection is practical if one stays with the group along with is dedicated.”.

In Perfected Mind Control (PMC) the requirement for purity is altered by the requirement to truly find. To Truly uncover can simply be done by testing as well as likewise transferring judgment.

The unsafe approach of self disclosure to individuals in the group. Generally in the context of a public occasion in the group, admitting previous misdoings as well as likewise defects, likewise inquiries concerning the group as well as likewise crucial suggestions worrying the security of the leaders.

The PMC layout modifications admission of wrongdoings with exploration of needs, needs along with requirements. This dynamic will promptly reveal what the subject presumes they are doing wrong or plan to boost without the noticeable sensation of remorse or pity. Feeling of sense of guilt as well as likewise embarassment come under the category of Bad Thing.

The group’s viewpoint is completely proper as well as additionally certainly actual to make clear EVERYTHING. The mentor is exempt to modifications or worry.

For Perfected Mind Control the only reality that properly talks about whatever is that We experience the world simply by presumption. , if we can get control of our understanding we obtain control of our world.

.

A new vocabulary emerges within the context of the group. Group individuals “think” within the slim as well as likewise actually abstract standards of the group’s mentor. The terms totally gives up individuals from thinking seriously by boosting a “white along with black” attitude.

New vocabulary will absolutely develop in any type of sort of location of private exploration in addition to requirement to be prepared for. PMC is no numerous.

7. DOCTRINE OVER PERSON. Pre-group experience along with group experience are straight along with absolutely converted through the straight-out mentor, additionally when experience negates the training.

PMCs simply showing is the commitment to self-exploration. All different other areas are allowed. When called for to alter a new one, this allows the based on define their really own training as well as additionally discard it.

Redemption is practical simply in the group. Those that leave the group are doomed.

Instead of simply 2 categories of saved as well as likewise doomed PMC licenses for a minimum of 3 catagories Those that acquire it. Those that do not prefer it. The Those that do not want it.

50 miles by foot: The training diary of long-distance runner

Behind every big goal is a series of smaller steps. How one runner plans to exceed his limitations and reach his potential.

I run a lot. When I’m not running I’m usually planning my next run, or thinking about ways to maximize recovery. My strength and stretching routines are tailored around running, and so is my nutrition and sleep pattern. I’m fortunate that my boss affords me a considerable amount of flexibility to get my workouts in, which I don’t take for granted. When he suggested I publish a training diary I was ecstatic — what better thing to write about than that which you love the most?

I was also a little apprehensive because running has always been a solitary pursuit for me. I don’t post my runs on Strava, I rarely run with other people, and my idea of a perfect running day is four hours of splendid isolation deep in the woods. I’ve kept a training diary for years, but it was never intended to be read by anyone else. Offering up my passion for public consumption is like inviting you all to peek inside my brain.

Still, I couldn’t let this opportunity pass. My aim with this diary is to share a bit of the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years, and provide some inspiration whether you care about running or not. This exercise will also hold me accountable as I pursue a number of ambitious goals. My plan is to run my first 50-miler this fall, along with a pair of 50Ks in April and June.

Obviously, I want to be at my best on race days, but my real training goal for 2020 is to reach my physical peak and come to terms with my mid-40s body. I don’t know what that will look like in the mirror or how it will manifest itself in terms of race performance, but I’m not after vanity or validation. I’m not even sure what reaching my physical peak even means at age 45, but I figure I’ll find out when I get there provided I train with a purposeful focus.

After I stopped running competitively in high school, one of my greatest regrets was wasting my prime running years. From the time I got out of college to my late 30s I rarely had any kind of goals or aspirations regarding fitness, other than the thought that I should get myself back into shape from time to time.

I had a number of breakthroughs when I resumed training in 2013, but I was never able to run a sub 3-hour marathon or qualify for Boston. Maybe I could have broken 18 minutes in a 5K like I did in high school or run a half marathon in the 80s. I believe I had that potential and I’m absolutely certain that I squandered it.

I made tenuous peace with that regret when I started trail running in the fall of 2017. If road running is all about pacing and splits, trail running requires patience, technical skill, and consistent effort rather than raw speed. An 11-minute mile over rocky terrain is completely different than a 6-minute mile on flat asphalt. (Not better, mind you, just different.)

With three 50Ks, a mountain marathon and a couple of halfs in my ultra signup profile, I now have a baseline for trail running performance. I’m competitive in my races, but I’m learning to let go of time and place. My true competition is only with myself and I know of no harsher critic. I want to be able to look in the mirror at the end of this racing season and honestly say that I gave my best effort. That’s the goal.

That’s easier said than done because one of the most essential lessons of training into your 40s is accepting your body as it is, not what it was. I’m a little bit slower than I used to be, things hurt just a little bit more than they used to, and for longer. Accepting yourself and letting go of your ego in that manner is liberating. It’s also terrifying.

After I returned from the NBA Finals last June, I was confronted with a few harsh realities. I put on more weight than usual during the playoffs and it wasn’t as easy to lose as it had been in the past. The more I pushed to get back into shape, the more I put my body at risk.

Aches and pains are a way of life for runners, but the stress was threatening to overload my system. I experienced knee soreness, lower back stiffness, and a weird ache in my left shoulder that I haven’t been able to resolve. All of that was extremely frustrating, but it forced me to reevaluate my approach to training.

For starters, I needed to give myself a break. I tried to take rest days without guilt and emphasized quality runs over quantity by cutting out anything that could be considered a junk run. In addition, I made a renewed effort to dial in my nutrition and get proper sleep. In September, I experienced a breakthrough 50K performance that gave me confidence in this kinder, gentler approach.

Once that race was over I thought hard about the future. Over the years I’ve followed big highs with debilitating lows. Whenever I resumed training it felt like I was starting over from scratch. What I needed was a longer term focus. That process began with an honest accounting of my body.

Like most runners I have weak hips, glutes, quads, and back muscles. In the fall I turned my attention to strengthening my core with body-weight exercises and long bouts of power hiking. My mileage dropped, but my overall health and fitness improved. When the calendar turned to January, I was ready to return to structured training.

The word “structure” is a bit loose because I’m not following a set plan, per se. Rather, I’m taking bits and pieces from past training experiences to form an outline that rolls short-term goals into mid-range benchmarks in pursuit of a larger ideal. I’m going to roll with the punches, retain flexibility, and above all, make a concerted effort to listen to my body.

My primary sources are the Hal Higdon training manuals that were essential to me as a beginning runner and Krissy Moehl’s Running Your First Ultra. Backstopping that is Build Your Running Body, a comprehensive manual that cuts through a lot of noise and strives for clarity over gimmicks.

At the outset, my training pattern will consist of two hard weeks with a recovery week in between. By March I’d like to build up to three weeks before getting to a recovery week. All things in due time.

My goal for January was to re-establish a consistent rhythm of five running days a week anchored by a long run on Sunday. Some people prefer to run six days, but I’ve found that an extra day to focus on strength training and flexibility has been invaluable.

On that note, there is no one training method because — duh — everyone is different. Look around the Internet and you will find everything from the proper balance of speed work to endurance training to the effectiveness of stretching. We haven’t even begun to discuss hydration or nutrition yet and let me tell you, there are opinions!

For the record on stretching, I employ a short dynamic flexibility routine to get my body flowing before runs. I don’t consider my workout complete until I get in a 15-minute cooldown stretch utilizing elements of foam rolling, vinyasa yoga and active isolated stretching techniques.

Many people would disagree with this approach and that’s their prerogative. I know my body, or think I do. Everyone is encouraged to take that journey for themselves. I don’t presume to offer advice or guidance. This is a quest for knowledge and experience.

Ok, the numbers for January. (I’ll do this every month.)

Distance: 160 Miles over 20 runs

Some will see that number and think it’s a lot. There are endurance runners who consider 160 miles a good week. It’s all relative. That’s a solid number for me as I build my base level of fitness. It averages out to a little more than five miles a day, which I consider an initial benchmark for serious training.

In January I topped out with a 45-mile week. In February, I’d like to break into the 50s consistently, which I’ve only done during a peak training week here or there. That said, I try not to get too wrapped up in raw mileage because the body knows stress not miles.

For years, runners followed the 10 percent rule; as in limit your mileage increase to roughly 10 percent of the previous week’s total. That’s been widely debunked, but I still find 10 percent to be an effective range for mileage buildup. I’ll use it as a guideline and make adjustments as needed.

Vertical gain and loss: 21,600 feet

Again this is relative. Serious mountain runners knock that out in a couple of climbs. I live at sea level with nary a mountain in sight. My serious climbing opportunities may be fewer, but they are extremely technical with roots and rocks and all kinds of trippables that will mess you up if you take a wrong step.

Because the trails around here are so gnarly, it’s a matter of wanting to get that vertical. I’ve made an effort to take on the toughest routes during my runs. My amount of weekly vert topped out at 6,200 feet. Like the mileage, I’ll continue building from that base in February while increasing the intensity of my dedicated hill workouts.

Also, the downhills are just as important as the uphills in trail running, especially for the races I’m doing. Getting comfortable with moving efficiently on steep technical terrain is one of my biggest priorities.

Pace: ???

My first race in April is on an unmarked course with a considerable amount of technical climbing. That’s more about survival than speed. My later races have even more vertical gain, but are way more runnable. I’ll mix in some speed work here and there this winter, but I’ll focus on pace this spring and summer.

I’m more concerned with maintaining a consistent effort over long periods of time, so I measure my long runs by duration rather than distance. My longest long run was 16 miles over 3 hours and 45 minutes with 2,700 feet of climbing. I’ll aim to build up to five hours and 4,000 feet by March.

Consistency: 20 runs out of 23 scheduled workouts.

I skipped a pair of easy runs for what I’ll call life maintenance (parenting, job, illness) and took an extra rest day during a recovery week. The weather mostly held up, but I ran through snow, ice, and extreme cold. One of my mantras is bad-weather training is excellent training. Builds character.

Strength Training: Consistent effort, not too much

I love strength training, sometimes it doesn’t love me back. My issue is balance. Too much strength training can overload my system and lead to breakdowns, especially as miles begin to build during heavy running weeks. Finding balance is an ongoing theme for me this year and I think I found an appropriate level in January. I’ll get into the weeds on strength training later.

Overall I feel positive about resuming my training. I had no major injuries and only minimal issues with motivation, usually from a lack of proper sleep. I’m going to continue prioritizing sleep as the training gets harder along with adequate nutrition. If you’re going to run a lot, it’s important to eat enough calories.

There’s plenty of time for all of that. Right now I’m going to slip into some compression tights and plan tomorrow’s run.

The Best Mobile Games of 2019 (So Far)

Halfway through the year and there have already been plenty of top-notch games to savour. From classic board games to cunning real-time strategy, not forgetting insanity-inducing card games, a wheeler-dealer RPG and a groovy roguelike. No matter what your tastes, everyone should find something to tickle his or her fancy.

Admittedly, there hasn’t been much in the way of truly original content; with most of the best games being tabletop adaptations or PC conversions. However, when the games are this good it seems churlish to criticise, especially since they prove that in spite of the doomsayers the premier mobile game market is still alive and kicking.

Star Traders: Frontiers (Review)

The ever-reliable Trese brothers turn their creative hands to the open world sci-fi RPG genre with terrific results. Although essentially a game of intergalactic commerce, Star Traders’ diversity allows for a range of differing approaches. Not happy with a methodical law-abiding approach? Then why not indulge in a  spot of smuggling or piracy? Perhaps you will decide to ditch trading altogether and take a military-focused approach or stick to the carefree life of a wandering adventurer. Initially intimidating, you will soon discover that the dynamic world of Star Traders is one that is well worth your investment.

Legends of Andor (Review)

All three of the board games on this list are at least five years old in terms of the physical version, proving that developers are prepared to look beyond the latest shiny new releases. This is definitely a good thing as there are plenty of classics just waiting to be discovered by a wider audience.

At first glance, Legends of Andor appears to be a hack and slash game, which simply involves rolling a fist full of dice and laying waste to hoards of monsters. Start playing, however, and you will soon realise that the game is actually much more puzzle-based than that. The most precious commodity is time, forcing you to carefully coordinate the actions of your band of heroes. The tight time limit means that each scenario more often than not climaxes in a tense showdown. There is a generous amount of content and it plays brilliantly solo. This may be a conversion of an older board game but its re-emergence on touchscreen makes perfect sense.

Evolution Board Game (Review)

Evolution is a card game of survival in a constantly changing ecosystem where food is often scarce and predators are on the hunt for a tasty snack. Players develop different species in a struggle to be the most successful. The real fun starts when you begin to add extra traits to a species, maybe transforming a peace-loving herbivore into a slavering ball of fangs and teeth.  Charming presentation and a terrific single-player campaign ensure that Evolution simulates the struggle for existence in a fun and rewarding way without getting bogged down with too much detail.

Castles of Burgundy (Review)

The board game version of this settlement building game is a stone cold classic.

Despite a reliance on rolling dice, the range of options means you never feel restricted by bad luck. Keep your plans fluid and make the most of your current rolls and before you know it you will be raising a glass to celebrate the most impressive estate in Burgundy.

Necrodancer: Amplified (Review)

A roguelike game in which Nocturna and her adversaries strut their stuff like John Travolta. Keep time with the catchy beats whilst committing murder on the dance floor to build up some impressive combos. This is the definitive version and includes all of the content from the original pocket edition alongside the additional Amplified expansion. Necrodancer is a brilliant mash-up, transforming the typical sedate pace of dungeon crawling into a mad frenzy as you shake it like a Polaroid picture.

Cultist Simulator (Review)

Time to enter a world of despicable cults, unspeakable horrors and gibbering insanity. No, it’s not Christmas Day at your parents but the Lovecraftian setting for Cultist Simulator. You may be thrown into the thick of the action with little clue as to what is going on, but atmospheric narration creates a web of rich and involved stories. You will soon be establishing your very own cult, recruiting gullible followers and indulging in sanity-warping rituals. The clever card play mechanics are perfectly suited to touchscreen, making this one cult well worth signing up to.

Dungeon Warfare 2 (Review)

If Cultist Simulator hasn’t sated your taste for the dark sidethen Dungeon Warfare 2 should be your next port of call. There is no doubt that there is something deeply satisfying about turning the tables on parties of greedy adventurers by laying traps to send them plummeting into bottomless pits or crushing them between moving walls. As the Dungeon Lord, you get to do all of this and much, much more. The theme works brilliantly and the sense of progression is extremely satisfying. The puzzle-like gameplay and robust physics engine ensure that Dungeon Warfare 2 adds some much-needed pep to the tower defence genre.

Shards of Infinity (Review)

Coming from the same stable as Pocket Tactics’ favourite Ascension, Shards of Infinity was always going to be worth a look. The design is tight and there is a lot more outright confrontation than in most other deck building games. This is because instead of competing for points, the aim is to reduce your opponent’s health to zero.

The big innovation is that through a mechanic known as mastery you can increase the power of your cards. Hell, build up enough mastery and you can summon the infinity shard for an instant win. With the potential for countless card combos, this is a game that can handle up to four players but really excels in a two-player face off.

10 Portraits

Project three 10 PORTRAITS. Research and development work.

For this brief I choose a portrait taken as part of “Portrait of a Woman” project.

The project is centred on meditation about human nature, more specifically focused on the way how women are embracing various life experiences, enduring loss, sadness, introspection and self-insecurity.

I wanted to explore different ways in editing it, as I believe it is suitable for this kind of creative exercise.

Choosing such photo was nevertheless challenging, as the initial image I started to edit was black and white with a lightly warm tone. I decided to make the set of ten different edits by starting with this image and not from the raw, coloured version, as I felt I need to push the boundaries of my creativity and imagination.

Bellow is presented the original photograph, before the set of ten edits:

Portrait No.1

First edit is a classic black and white conversion.

I began doing the edits by removing the warm tone out of the original image, obtaining the timeless look of a black and white photograph.

Due to the nature of my subject, I wanted to preserve the delicacy of the image, therefore I didn’t go too far with dodging and burning. The contrast was kept at low levels, as I intended to have a very smooth transition from the lightest tones towards the dark ones, maintaining thus the overall softness of the tones.  

All edits were performed in Photoshop and also by using Nik Silver Efex Pro.

Portrait No.2

For my second edit the intention was to reproduce a wet plate aspect.

I believe the portrait is suitable to this kind of edit as the composition and the background is simple and can easily accept different textures and effects.

I’ve started the edit by adding various textures and scratches in an attempt to replicate old and damaged photographs. I added some leaking light and even though at the start I was quite “shy” with the edit, I realised that the best way to produce a variety of good edits is to be bold and courageous.

The effect achieved was successful because of the amount of attention given to details. I did my research by investigating many old photographs made with the wet collodion process and examine their characteristics.

One defining feature of the wet plate is that you must develop the photograph almost immediately after exposing, while the plate used is still wet. This brings in some interesting characteristics to the produced images, as each photograph has various imperfections, unlike the digital ones.

In my attempt to reproduce a realistic edit, I added scratches and some dirt to my portrait and went even further by making some marks resembling fingerprints.

At the moment of this evaluation, I consider this is one of my best edits from the project.

Portrait No.3

In this edit the focus is placed on the model’s features, everything else disappearing. I made this possible by adding a fading filter and in the same time increasing the contrast and decreasing the structure.

When approaching this task, I soon considered to add another dimension to my project. It was needed an extra challenge and my desire was to add a meaning to my edits and take them beyond the scope of a just technical exercise.

Consequently, being fascinated by the power of expression released by the poems, I have imagined a book in which my portraits would blend with poetry, bringing this way new meaning and vigour to the project.

Such decision suddenly opens up new opportunities, managing to give me a sense in my search of producing the edits.

This edit was initiated after reading a poem - “The mirror” written by Sylvia Plath. The inspiration came this time not necessarily from the reflective side of a mirror, but from the muted and lustreless grey of its back.

This was the effect I aimed to achieve and I think the development and the final edit were really successful.

  Portrait No.4

For this edit, it was taken in consideration the flow of the book and the sequencing of the portraits, therefore I decided to break the black and white pattern by introducing some variation using the colour.

Again concentrating on the metaphors present in the chosen poem (named “In between. Blue”) I added a blue filter and changed completely the feel of the image.

I consider that the overall aspect achieved is airy and this is another accomplished edit, somehow resembling a cyanotype.

  Portrait No.5 & No.6

In the case of these two edits, I’ve played with Gaussian, Radial and Field blur, trying to add some sense of motion and make the images more dynamic.

Each image, Portrait no.5 and 6 have got a different type of distortion, each one giving an surreal, intangible quality to the photograph, reflecting the subjects of the poems which the pictures go along with. 

I strongly believe that with these two unique edits, I managed to give another extent to the overall project, as they reach the audience, producing a strong effect to the viewer, causing almost a physical reaction.

 Portrait No.7

The edit for this image was inspired by a puzzle game and this was my solution in translating the play concept into a viable interesting image. I explore a way to get the portrait decomposed and then to perform the overlapping of the same parts, in a repetitive way.  

In my struggle to produce an interesting visual response to the task, I started re-examining and recall various works of art, paintings, drawings and sculpture that I have had the pleasure to see over the years (as an example the work of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, one of the most influential sculptors of all times).

The image was previously treated as a 3D image, just in the same way as the following one, Portrait No.8.

In this edit, a classic 3D effect was replicated.

Such effect was obtained by producing different layers, background copies, and using different levels in removing the red, green and blue colours. The final action was to change slightly the position of each layer.

This image is really suitable for this kind of treatment, since the background is clear and the 3D effect would enhance and highlight the statuesque figure of the woman. Because of  the well defined contour of the model, after contemplating this edit one can find similar characteristics to the lenticular images.

I consider this experiment a success, mostly because I didn't know how to actually obtain the 3D effect before, but now thanks to this exercise, I have improved my editing skills, managing thus to expand my knowledge.

Making this edit to happen I researched some video tutorials like the following one:

Portrait No.9

Reaching my ninth edit, I wished to recreate the effect one can get when doing an in-camera double exposure.

I rendered this double exposure by adding a foggy aspect to it, this way the portrait gained an airy and dreamy character. 

The layer representing the second exposure was strongly manipulated, in terms of size, as I intended to make a zoom in on the women’s face. Also a slight rotation was imposed to the layer in order to add a stronger visual impact on the photograph.

I consider the overall effect was a success, as the image resembles quite well a similar one obtained in-camera, therefore I am happy with the edit as it is perfectly suitable to the original photograph.

 Portrait No.10

For the final edit, I was aiming a change in the prominent colours of the image by adding a warmer, velvety feel to it. 

It is evident how this image is diverging from the predominant black and white edits of the series. Actually I developed this final edit after analysing the previous photos, concentrating on their visual qualities and focusing on what new concept and look I can produce in my venture in order to offer a fresh and even surprising interpretation of the portrait.

The tenth image that came out is unique and totally different compared to the other ones composing the series, but still preserves qualities that make it suitable for the produced set.

 Portrait 11 & 12 - Considering the difficulties encountered during the development of the present project, I needed to test further my abilities and creativity, by adding another two different edits on top of the requested ones.
