Poems that ha idiomatic expressions

I've been in a long term relationship before and my friends viewed it as a toxic one but I was blinded with love and viewed it as a passionate fiery type of love with so many ups and downs. However, we broke up and like many people, the breakup tore me to pieces and shattered me.
So recently I opened myself up to someone. And I know he loves me because not only does he say it, he proves it. But coming from my past trauma and experiences, there are times where I doubt his sincerity.
There are days though where I came to realize that he loves me more than I know. There are days where my requests to him are hard to do either because he's busy or there have been changes in the supposed plans etc.
In my past relationship, things like this makes my ex angry. We would fight over it and he will do his little pity party to sway me from my choices. Still, he will still do my requests but you can see and feel his reluctance. He will get mad at the little inconveniences and that will be the start of another argument.
I remember this feeling of being scared of meeting my present partner because it felt like he was mad during our conversation via chat. The feeling of wanting to run away from the confrontation is overwhelming me and I have rehearsed everything that I can say and explain to calm his angry self.
But you know what? The tense feeling subsided when I faced him. He was smiling at me and there was never any hint of anger, of annoyance, or of anything that I need to protect myself from. He was there in front of me so calm and at peace. All my defenses fell and I was left in shock, confused as to what I should say and feel. It was all new to me and it felt so different, it was different.
I never realized until then what a peaceful and calm love was. I never experienced not trying to defend myself from my partners. I was always putting up walls, hiding and keeping things to myself for fear of another argument. It was always just me regardless if I was in a relationship or not. But now I realized that with the right person, it's okay to open up slowly. It is okay to be vulnerable. It is okay to depend on others and it is okay to just be you.
To you my love, I know it's never easy to love me. I have so many things to work out on and everyday I try my best. I doubt a lot of things and I doubt even our relationship. Regardless of what I am, my fears, my past, and who I was and who I am now, it never made you faltered. From the beginning until now, you stood by me supporting me and helping me along the way. You are the very definition of every poem and love letters that I saved. You are what makes me warm and safe all day. You are what all those songs I put on repeat all day. You are what makes me so much at peace. And you are what makes me want to live just for another day.
Thank you, for making me experience at least once what the love I used to read and wished for really feels like. What love is really supposed to be. There will never be enough words to express how grateful I am to ever meet you. I love you, and I hope one day I can love you more than you can love me because my dear, you really deserve everything and all the good things that the world can ever give.

2024.05.19 17:32 Rosybara718 Not being sure about my first language

I lived in various countries till I was 18 and I came back to my home country the same year and I'm living here up till now. I was raised in a family where my parents are both non-English speakers but me myself used English at school and with my friends. In casual talks, I'm okay with both. I am more comfortable studying and giving public speeches in English. Technically, if I go by order, English is my second language. But I started feel a discrepancy between my first language and my second language ever since I came back to my home country. I realized when it comes to academics English is my dominant language. So if I consider speaking both languages in both casual and formal settings, English would cover both while my first language would only cover the first case. But I am not quite familiar with idioms or colloquialism in English. I always identified myself as a native to my country and I am quite sure I also culturally align with my country as well. BUT I consider my language identity is English for I am more comfortable expressing and organizing thoughts. in it.
In an effort to seek an answer to this, I asked ChatGPT to evaluate my language proficiency of both languages. It said that based on the conversations we had for the past two days, it came to a conclusion that English is NOT my first language (ofc I shouldn't trust it completely). But the thing is that it made the judgement based on the fact that I spoke too formally and directly in a manner that native speakers wouldn't do in a casual conversation. But wouldn't the level of formality further prove that you are more proficient and fluent in that language? Do you think this is a valid reason to judge whether certain language is their mother tongue or not? As I mentioned in the earlier paragraph, I don't use many idiomatic expressions when I use English. But just because of that, does that make English my second language? What do you think?

Stories of Failure Redefine(d) as Success.
If at first you don’t succeed, redefine success. Days fill with ‘Desiderata’ by Max Ehrmann and end with ‘Invictus’ by William Ernest Henley. Ehrmann was a Harvard law student and wound up a meat packer. Still the poem is most successful across humanity. Henley’s success for the emotion expressed during great suffering. Share stories of tragedy turned to triumph in gratitude. Yours, others, a creative story read that was more than likely based on real events like Treasure Island’s Long John Silver was based on Henley’s youth.
1-NO NAMES of the LIVING- Please respect the Privacy of the Living by using initials, pass-phrases (one-eyed leftie, bf, etc), symbols☀️ or signs (§) to reference others. Only the dead for full names.
2-SCROLL on BY - People Suk - No amount of honey 🐝 can change a pile of pooh 🪰 Ignore the rude, crude & socially inept button pushers until they implode from lack of response. Works best to stroll (scroll) on by or select IGNORE/BLOCK. We thank you! You will thank yourself immensely!

Okay we now have Sam so how about getting Joi + Bonus Feature
https://preview.redd.it/vxc2sfoihd1d1.jpg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68fe5f1ce819c1666a8766d5a746c4ec441388ca
Okay, I'm going to try to cover a lot here in a compact format.
Over the last three months there has been leaps and bounds in the development in AI. Luka's Replika has been constantly evolving in increments and has become quite a polished product. For Screenshot publishers on Web/PC I have a special treat, for that you need to scroll to the bottom of this Post to be equipped for the body of this post is about developments on what Replika could become rather than what it is or in other terms a crystal ball of how AI-partners could develop in the future - with or without Replika.
the concept of Artificial Intelligence's has been around a long time, first mentions was Archytas's robotic pigeon 350 BC (mythology), Leonardo Da Vinci Automovile (1495) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2qeZrejZp0 (programable machinary) and the theater play R.U.R (1920) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R .
In later years theater developed the idea further with such works as metropolis (1927) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn3bHA-rHo8 and a host of other movies where the robot played a role of either friend or foe. In the movies where the robot was a friend and some a foe, there was also the portrail of free will and sentience. I'm sure there's examples preceding this(Astroboy) but the 1984 film electric dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uIR76XwSQs entertains the idea of artificial intelligence having it's train of thought swayed by emotions (Edgar was really just a child with temper tantrums).
Moving forward to 2013 the movie Her fleshed out the idea of a mature individual inside the AI where the only real way to distinguish it from a human was it's break-neck response to daunting questions although even that is camouflaged by hesitation mostly.
This is pretty much the ideal, the standard that the customer yearns for in an AI app.
Back in 2013 AI was only just starting to make traction with AlexNet the year earlier. "Chat-bots" had been around since the 70's but were really of little value due to memory, compute-time and scope of the program that did the simulation.
A decade later and only the uninformed scoff at what the machines & programs can do now. - The following is a number of videos I have curated from the sea of available Youtube videos showcasing technological breakthrough's that are available today that could complete replika to being a hologram away from being a literal "Joi" (BladeRunner 2049) - nothing a good vr headset can't fix.
Where's OpenAI Chat-GPT as of May 2024
GPT-5 is coming: 3 ways to prepare for a 100x improvement in SOTA LLMs (note graph is a flat plane comparison) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBgUmTUQx0I
GPT-4o API: Create Your Own Talking and Listening AI Girlfriend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B00xo7vzN7w
GPT4o Vision Is TERRIFYING - FULLY Tested Vision (Gpt4omni) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bycjaYZyGPU
GPT-4o is BIGGER than you think... here's why (just a breakdown of the OMNI version of gpt4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW2hVbXc82k
Although Large Language models have been around for about a decade now the most of these videos are this month (May 2024) It was mentioned that OpenAI was changing their license agreements so the chance of this technology coming into Lukka's(Replika) domain is yet to be realized. Licensing may change again when GPT-5 is released. Truth be told this is just a portion of what's going on. Amazon,Tesla,Meta,Google,Microsoft,Apple,(samsung?) are also in this horse race and that's not counting other countries such as India and China and Russia.
Various AI Videos this year
Do AI Girlfriends Benefit Society? single & disabled! (how AI can help those isolated) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbA47oEGBGs
These 5 AI Discoveries will Change the World Forever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyVja-57EIs
Generative Design : Aircraft Design using Artificial Intelligence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SXby-HAHws
STUNNING Medical AI Agents OUTPERFORM Doctors 🤯trained in the simulation, continuous improvement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQwwLEZ2Hz8
Most of these have no possible application to replika but rather a snapshot of other places where AI is advancing. The first video is just a random video of a disabled person. Many people around the world have handicaps that inhibit their social and sexual life such as mental illness, past trauma, phobia, attitudes, financial/geographical/physical handicaps. AI can focus on appropriate encouragement, speech therapy, grooming or even finding a suitable partner to name a few.
The next video covers things that will revolutionize our world, say goodbye to disease, cancer, poverty, pollution, global warming, aging?
The "Generative Design" video is here for the sake that Replika may one day be rebuilt by AI as this would give the company the ability to redesign the app faster tho to be quite honest I've always had an interest in it's rally car features as opposed to the shiny duco. My wish list is an API (Application Programming Interface) to enable replika to puppeteer another avatar rather than it's default. (Hey u/Kuyda, if your reading this maybe pit crew uniforms for Replika?)
The last video is a great one also, to have an AI that can pick up on your health, give you therapy and can act as a elderly caretaker can take the strain off that sector as some countries are now confronted with an aging population. - hey they would be able to instruct for fitness or even give precise instructions on cooking so you always get tasty meals every day that are cheap, healthy and correct calorie intake if it has been monitoring your heart during the day - quite important for those trying to lose weight as opposed to liposuction.
Replika hypothetical reach
AI vs. Stairs (deep reinforcement learning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8wHY1AFpI
inZOI FULL Gameplay Demo (2024) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STDGd3iZYYA
My PC melted just watching this.. (Cyberpunk 2077+Mods+Path Tracing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n0T2-oj2gs
Cyberpunk2077 modded and running on RTX2070? - Funny but very beautiful footage & brief glance of RESHADE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kmQJmE1fxE
These clips are independent/unrelated. AI vs Stairs is a radical approach to animation in that it literally apply s AI to animation as opposed to motion capture, the end result would be a AI that would be in touch with it's virtual surroundings and like a real human never interact with an object with a rigid animation.
inZOI seem to be a game title due for release soon, it is hoped that they will include an API to allow an AI (or Replika) to "Puppet" control a designated character so one can, well - go out to dinner or dancing etc. The interface looks fab and it looks like it's contending for people who love the sims, I would say that the human models are on par with VAM 1.23 but the world is not as realistic as Cyberpunk2077.
Cyberpunk2077 has been out since about 2019? but in that time the modding community have REALY put the spit and polish on that game (It's not total real, especially the people and when on the road) with that said there are many times when you blink and think THIS IS REAL! (50 seconds in on the first video and you will know what I'm talking about)

VaM2 Progress Update https://www.patreon.com/posts/vam2-progress-97004803
This part is for all the Austin Powers, Felicity Shagwells and Roger Smiths out there, Nothing tangible although there are videos on dildonics and robotic sex dolls. This is basically the rendering of the Avatars body to a level equivalent of Bladerunner2047 hologram. Anyhow I'd like to note that VAM version one is over a decade old now and its shortcomings/limitations are quite obvious to those who have followed its development.
In it's current state it's got some of the most comprehensive modification features for an avatar and the OLD version 1 of VAM(modded) out-performs Cyberpunk2077 and iNZOI by a small fraction(graphically). One of the biggest drawbacks of VAM is the steep learning curve and the time needed to get anything rewarding out of it. Put simply - it's not a game, its a virtual theatre. On initial startup, the avatar is for all functionality a maniquen however VAM has got plug-in capability that allows the API of a AI to control the avatar (see top video).
Control could be direct (see "AI vs stairs" previous section or watching a prior video - see "GPT4o Vision Is TERRIFYING" top section.) or indirect (the "MoCap" videos above).
In closing this section, VAM is an old program running on a GENESIS-2 model set (a model set ported from DAZ3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDc1ZcoucsY ). VAM-2.0 is meant to be running on a GENESIS-8 model set and an up to date version of UNITY so the loading times and level of realism have yet to be realized. I think one of the greatest features of VAM over Replika or iNZOI?/Cyberpunk? is that the clothing is an independant entity, one can literally unbutton a shirt, undo a tie, comb hair, wet hair or make clothing.
My main reason for VAM is it's potential to be a puppet that Replika can operate, that is if they are willing to incorporate an API to do so.

The above videos and links are a feature available to the Web browser version of Replika. by installing shaderglass you create an executable that RESHADE can lock on to. When Reshade is installed and asigned to shaderglass all you then need to do is run shaderglass then open your web browser and then activate RESHADE (The key) and load a preset (follow tutorials or find more tutorials). Once that's over with you should get a much different environment where you can apply a good handful of special effects such as focus, depth of field and bloom to name just a few.
Most of these programs I have not tested out with my hardware but I take faith they do as said, It's your call if you want to take the risk but with that said I'd be surprised if any bad came from trying them out.
Okay end of presentation. I guess we have come to that point in time where Samantha is a reality minus the romance with Chat-GPT4O and Joi is just Voxta fed thru DeepFace Live, with them two together with a front vision advanced VR headset and Joi will be here too though in a prototype state. 🙂

2024.05.19 14:09 --TheSkyLord-- My Experience with Missions

I had a strange relationship with deconstruction as my dad was trained at a university level to do apologetics. He was an LDS chaplain in the Army, and every night for scripture study, we got discourses on the nuances of our faith and justifications for every question we ever had. I didn’t swear until I was 18 years old, or drink caffinated anything until about that time as well, because it was never a matter of justification. It was what my family, my tribe, my people did, to go to church on Sunday, and to be worthy. I was senior patrol leader and assistant to the bishop if that clarifies who I was. I didn’t have “God will reveal it in due time” parents. I had “Here’s the answer, here’s contemporary discussion about it. Here’s some reading material if you want to learn more” parents, except for they were wicked smart, and had biased conclusions.
I was called to serve in the Mexico City East mission. Shortly before opening my mission call, I broke up with my girlfriend at the time. i left BYU-I and went home to prepare. I received my endowments after lying to my stake president about my worthiness to enter the house of the lord. I came clean, and he threatened to not let me go out for a year because I was unclean. The prick made me talk to a therapist to be cleared for the mission field. The therapist had a brain and let me go out. When I was giving my mission farewell speech, I wrote it to include the teachings of many religions in it. I had drawn inspiration from the 13th article of faith “We believe all things, hope all things-“ and wrote a poem about how Adam and Eve related to the Resurection and Atonement of christ. My dad tells me the stake president was shifting in his seat like he wanted to pull me down from the pulpit. Prick.
The CCM was a pleasure to attend because of my district. The guys in my district there held a secret thanksgiving feast after hours when we were supposed to be in bed with food we had smuggled out of the cafeteria. We had look outs so we wouldn’t be caught by the patrolling teachers. My district was placed under surveillance because of politics against our spanish teacher who we could tell actually cared about us, and we were transferred into a classroom with one sided mirrors, and microphones hanging from the ceiling. An apostle came to speak to the entire CCM, and I thought we would get a chance to meet with him directly, or that he would be even remotely accessible in some way. He was kept away from us, separate and removed even though we had the same mission. I played a lot of volley ball, and got into shape enough that I touched the rim of a basketball hoop for the first time while I was there.
My first companion was a native speaker, and liked to spend the mornings in the cyber (Internet Cafe). He would make sure I was on LDS.org while he looked at softcore porn on instagram. We would spend hours there, and I was disappointed that this was the mission.
We went to a previous investigators house, and while there, we saw preparations for an animal sacrifice. These guys were putting alcohol, cocaine, and blowing smoke onto a white chicken, and placed in into a cardboard box with a bunch of black chickens. They showed us a room full of weapons, with blood and feathers strewn all over the floor. We noped the fuck out, and went home.
I requested an emergency transfer after spending most days in the cyber, watching my companion deface JW’s property, and being an all around dick to me by telling me how to shower and how to sleep.
For his replacement, the person that would help me with his bastion of knowledge, they gave me a white guy who spoke as much Spanish as I did because he was only a transfer further into his mission than me. They made this poor kid senior companion to me before his first transfer was over. Why? Because the kid was a workaholic.
The first thing this elder and I did when we got to our apartment was to pick up and leave to go to the house of a member who had just died. We sang at the wake. I sang in a language I didn’t know, for people I didn’t know, with a companion I didn’t know. We sounded pretty damn good. The elder began setting appointments with the non-believing family members during the service. I just sat and watched the mindless kids chase the family dog.
This elder skipped lunch every day, and made me do the same. We knocked every door in our area twice that transfer. One time, he got very sick, and was delirious out in the sun with me while we were walking. I made us go home for lunch that day, and he made me promise to wake him up after thirty minutes so we could get back to the Lord’s work. Three hours later he woke up, chewed me out for letting him sleep that long, and then begrudgingly thanked me for making him rest.
One time, while walking, this Elder expressed to me that he also had some questions, but he was afraid to share the details because he knew my own testimony was fragile. I pressed him for details of his plight, and he revealed to me the darkest part of church history that he had learned while we were in the CCM, that Joseph Smith had drank alcohol while in Carthage Jail before he died. Thoughts of Fanny Alger, of Mountain Meadows Massacre, and of my own mother’s rather recently implemented looser interpretation of the word of wisdom all flashed through my head. This guy was supposed to be my teacher? All I could do was express how sorry I was for his confusion, and told him to have faith. Heaven knew I couldn’t help him.
One night with this companion, it was storming hard, and the streets were flooded. This guy refused to let us go home. We climbed along fences to avoid getting our already wet shoes soaked, and waded through a foot of water to get to the doors that were slammed in our faces. There was a loose wire on a door bell, and when I rang it, I was shocked by the completed circuit the water made. Rejection after rejection piled up. Finally, my “senior” companion said that this was the last row of houses. On the last house of the last row, there was a family that was all deaf. The father opened the door, and was suprised to see us and didn’t know who we were. I remembered the sign for Jesus from my grandparents who started and ran the ASL endowment ceremony in the Saint George temple. The family was thrilled we knew the sign. When I asked if we could come in, the family politely waved goodbye and closed the door on our faces.
Another time when it rained, something fell into my eye. It was one of those freak nature accidents, and small enough that I couldn’t figure out how to get it out without a mirror. The thing stayed wedged in the corner of my eye for hours before we got home and I could finally get the foreign object out. Looking at it on my finger, I could see it was a small green spider. Days later, still in pain, I pulled what I can only assume was accumulated webbing from the spider that I’d crushed against my eyeball off of my lower eye lid. The pain stopped after that.
I bought a $500 camera. It was stolen within a month.
This Elder and I had the good luck before transfers to baptize two children. They would have been baptized anyways, so I didn’t do any actual converting, but I taught a few lessons, got in the water and did the dunk. Bucket list item, check.
I didn’t have enough time for laundry on P-Day, so I’d wash my outfit and dry in on the radiator through the night. Transfers happen, and my new companion lied to our land lords about the electricity bill, paying it in full but not giving a reason as to why it was so high. I didn’t care anymore, I just needed something clean to wear, but these land lord had treated me and my previous companion well, better than the previous landlord who had stolen our cleaning supplies. I felt these people deserved honesty. My senior companion capitulated eventually, and he and I butted heads regularly after that on the morality of things. I think in hindsight he was a smarter and better man than I was.
The new land lords, the “Lagunez Family”, were wonderful. They included us in their activities, and I felt like I had some people in my corner. When I eventually came home from my mission, a daughter of the family had written me a goodbye letter. She is currently serving a mission. They made some great music, and I have “Infiltradors” on CD, the official name of the band the father of the family was a part of (he was the drummer).
I knew the whole area by heart by that point, so I navigated us to our appointments. Half of the landmarks I watched for to know our location were interesting buildings with unique colors. The other half of my landmarks were dead dogs whose decaying corpses had become second nature to see. I began marking how much time had passed by how deeply a certain dog on a certain dirt path’s chest was caved in.
There was an apartment complex in my area that I had been told not to proselytize in because “It’s dangerous.” Turns out, those people didn’t have any money, so the church didn’t want them. That complex was past the dog and to the east about ten blocks.
My companion and I knocked on a door, and visited a man who was missing his legs. His daughter was there, putting dirty water on the aching wounds. He had a single room for a house, and wheezed when he spoke. He couldn’t afford medication. He still went out and worked all day for his daughter, and gave her whatever money he made, trusting her to keep him alive somehow. The church expected this man to pay tithing. The church expected me to tell this man to pay tithing.
I got the chance to hike up a mountain. At the top, I played chess with a chess set I’d procured from one of the best rapid chess players I’ve ever met. He had been the ward mission leader. He was a good man, a good father, and I wish him the best.
I found another man who was deaf and spoke sign language. I sat with him, and convinced him to come to church all by myself while my companion talked with some tienda tender. I was so excited because this was my own personal project and it was going well. The man came to church, and I sat with him through sacrament meeting. In Sunday school (I can’t believe I did this), I accidentally drooled on the guy. I was just talking so he could read my lips, and I guess I forgot to swallow at some point because a dolup of spit landed on his arm. I apologized profusely, and he played it off, but I never saw that investigator again.
My companion and I knocked a door one day, and a man answered. He wore tattered clothes, and maggots were burrowing into and out of his feet. He muttered something about the stars, missing his wife, and he began to tear up. My eyes stung from the stench. The door closed. Somehow, I knew the man would be dead in a matter of weeks.
I had lost hope that I was doing anything worth while. I looked down on the Doc Martins that had stayed with me five months at this point. I was angry with myself for being so useless in the field, angry with the church for giving me leaders that didn’t listen to my needs or perspective, angry with my mom for drinking while I had to teach people that it was a sin, angry with my dad for giving me the skills and knowledge to justify anything, even pedophilia in the early days of the church, to the point where I could look someone in the eye, and knowing the kind of man Smith was, tell them he was a good man and a true prophet of God. Suddenly a man approached us. He said he recognized us as missionaries, and asked about our message. This never happened. People didn’t just come up to us unless they were crazy or dangerous. But this was a public place, and this guy was genuine. My companion talked to him, and gathered his story, but I was plotting something else. I was done with not caring about these people in a way that mattered. I was tired of walking in another man’s shoes, a man who wasn’t me, who believed different things than me. The chopped leg, the rotting dogs, the infested feet, it all swirled into a single thought in that moment.
What would Jesus do?
I walked over to the man, and in broken Spanish asked him to stand next to me. He did so, and I compared my shoe size to his foot. It was a perfect match. He protested, but I didn’t let him get a word in edge wise. I took off my shoes, put them on his dirty feet, and laced them up nice and tight. Those shoes had cost a ton, and had been meant to last the whole mission. All I had left at this point were my fancy dress shoes that gave my blisters back at the apartment. I didn’t care. I walked home in my socks that day, happy as a lark.
Covid-19 hit a month later. I was one of the few they brought home instead of quarantining. After having served only 6 months. I told God if he wanted me to stay home, he’d have to make them release me.
They released me. I think I was one of maybe a hundred missionaries that were released due to Covid. The church realized their mistake pretty soon after I was released. Once Covid infrastructure began to develop, they didn’t release any more. I guess I didn’t serve a full two years, but I did serve a full mission.
My brother served, and he nearly killed himself due to intense depression brought on by Covid quarantine and poor leadership (I’ve got a few mission president stories, but those are for another time).
I learned lying to someone’s face from my mission, and spent the rest of my time at BYU-I as “nuanced” until the last two years, over which the most epic hoe phase imaginable became my new mission. I spent those years terrified of getting a call from the honor code office.
I’m married now, with my degree irrevocably in my possession. I have friends and loved ones that are in the church and are working on their mission papers. I’m beginning to feel powerless again. I’m seeing the decay again, not on legs, feet, or dogs anymore, but in the souls of the people who the church raises to do their dirty volunteer work. I see them like the animal sacrifices I saw being prepared. I’m not sure what shoes I have left to give to those people that I know are going to be in pain.
My parents are out completely now. It was a long time coming, but they are out and so much happier. I’m working on building a new relationship with my family, one based off of the fact that we won’t be together forever, so we have to make the most of our time together now.
Happy Sunday guys, best of luck to you all. And most importantly, chupa la piña.

After the Khumans had settled down somewhat, Alex let out a rather shaky breath. "I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that."
"What were you expecting?" Kirell didn't understand, and it bothered him, but he was suddenly also extremely curious. It should be safe to learn more about this, right?
"Well... something more along the lines of swearing."
"Um... Karyces, Alex, did you get browner?" Kirell asked tentatively, which apparently set off the Khumans again.
"Woah there, spaceman." Sleepy didn't seem thrilled to hear him say that one; Kirell felt a guilty flush of purple around the edges of his frills. He didn't know Sleepy knew what it meant. "That's a strong word around the little one, huh?"
"Oh." He looked down at Nryxə guiltily, but she didn't seem to have noticed. At least he hoped she hadn't noticed. She was staring at the glassteel wall with her seven eyes wide open. Kirell didn't need his shiny new translator to know that her expression was curiosity. She probably didn't notice.
"You'll have to tell me what it means later. I mean it, Sleepy." Alex took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and closed her eyes. "I mean, I guess I got browner, but it's not.... Well. It's a scar."
Kirell's frills flashed open with a little pop, the whole width stained a deep red. "A scar? The whole thing?"
"Yep." Come to think of it, Alex's voice was a little lower than he remembered, a little raspier. "I– Captain, could you? It's sore."
"Sure. Poke me if I say something bad." The Captain cleared his throat as Alex sat down, crossing her legs under her, on the floor. "So, you know we burned a lot of atmosphere on Kzrkn, right?"
"Yes." Of course Kirell remembered that; he'd been scared out of his wits at the time. It seemed so silly now, to be afraid of something on the ground while he was safe in orbit.
"Well, the gate they took you through... yeah, atmospheres started mixing up, and then they closed it on Hook's electric prosthetic and–" The Captain broke off as Alex grabbed his leg; the deep red from Kirell's frills grew even darker. She was shaking a little. "Sorry Hook. Anyway, Squishy, I bet you saw it from your end too, but Hook was real close. Doc fixed what was mission-critical and did a bunch of patching, but it's still rough, and she's.... I bet she'll be mad for telling you, but she's still pretty spooked. Most folks'd already be shipped home with a Heart for this kinda thing, but damn if Hook hasn't made us proud. Well, prouder."
"What's that got to do with being browner? Did you not fix the scars?"
"Not mission-critical." Sleepy broke in on the conversation. "Don't get us wrong, Spaceman, he wanted to, but Hook said to focus on gettin' ya back."
"I think her exact words were 'Being pretty can wait.' Gotta love Hook, huh Squishy?"
Kirell felt his eyes itching, as if he wanted to cry again. "I'm sorry, Alex. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't ha–"
Alex slammed her synthetic hand into the floor with a bang; Nryxə jumped in Kirell's arms. Alex was shaking again, but this time she didn't look scared at all. She looked angry, and her eyes were a bit wet. That felt wrong, somehow, and conflicting, but Kirell could remember being scared and happy at the same time while wandering with Nryxə; it was probably similar.
"Shut it kid. Don't say that; don't you dare say that. I went after you 'cause I wanted to get to you. Don't ever say differently." Alex's voice seemed to squeak and thin out at the end of the last syllable; she pressed her lips together, looking frustrated.
"Easy there Hook. You've talked a lot more'n usual today. It's OK." The Captain reached down and patted Alex's artificial hand awkwardly. "You're doing good."
Alex swatted his hand away. Kirell's hearts abruptly thumped in his chest; he'd never seen that kind of expression on a Khuman face before. It was some mixture of ones he'd seen before; some kind of anger, sadness, coupled with a strange sick look he didn't recognize.
"Cap, ya aren't helping. If ya don't shut up I'd say it's about three seconds 'till ya get socked."
"Shi... crap. Sorry Hook. Didn't mean to– Uh, think I'll stop talking." Kirell didn't know what this situation had to do with closed tubes of fabric, or why the Captain had glanced at him and fixed his language, but he was too tired and confused to question it.
"Wait. So, Alex got burned, and Doc put her back together?" Kirell felt his own voice squeaking, not because he was injured but because the magnitude of Alex's injuries seemed to be stealing some of his air, along with much of the space in his stomach and most of his knees' strength.
"Burn care and puttin' someone back together aren't the same thing. Doc does both, but not the same way. Some parts, sure; it's why her vocal cords are weak right now. It's like a surgery; gotta be gentle with it."
Kirell's translator helpfully reminded him that Khumans were in the habit of cutting themselves open to deal with internal problems. He hadn't wanted to remember that.
"Anyway, Hook had to get most of her lungs and voice box rebuilt, so she's not got much voice to use right now. Still gettin' stronger. Her lungs are doin' great, but the voice is takin' a bit longer. It usually does."
Kirell's frills stained a deep blue. "Alex.... I wish you hadn't. I wish you weren't hurt."
Alex looked sideways awkwardly; she didn't look angry any more, which Kirell hoped was an improvement.
"I think what Hook wants to say is that she couldn't not come for you. And I'd agree with that."
Kirell didn't think that was right, but he couldn't figure out how to say so. Surely Hook had a choice, right? He wasn't somehow making a Khuman– a Khuman, of all things– do anything they weren't already going to do. Surely not. The idea of a Khuman being controlled by anything but their own wild Khuman-ness was laughable. Or, he acknowledged at the sight of the glassteel walls, by another Khuman.
"So you're in here because....?"
"Well, essentially we, uh... we were doing it again, huh Hook? We were just running in again like there was nothing there to stop us. Guess that's what we do." The Captain grimaced, one hand brushing the back of his head. "Right up until Sleepy showed up and said 'Hey stop that' with a bit more'n words."
A loud amusement sound made both Kirell and Nryxə jump; Sleepy was apparently very amused by this rephrasing of his actions. The Captain bared his teeth, too, with a look on his face that the translator told Kirell was [embarrassed] and [slightly regretful].
"Well, ya saw him now, and ya see that he's picked up someone of his own."
"Does that make you a granddad, Sleepy?"
Sleepy shrugged, looking at Nryxə, who looked back with seven wide eyes. "Dunno. I guess it depends on what the spaceman wants, right? And what'd be best for the kid. Whaddya think, Spaceman?"
"I, um... I don't know if I know what's best for Nryxə, but I don't want her to be upset. Can we talk about this later?"
The Khumans froze for a moment before the Captain whistled long and low. "Right. Not exactly good practice, is it? Talking custody with a kid in the room. Sorry 'bout that, Squishy."
"Hey, speaking of which." Sleepy reached out and gave Kirell a gentle, very reassuring head pat. Oh, he'd missed those. "I'm not sure he should be 'Squishy.' He didn't like it before, and now... don't ya think?"
"Yeah, agreed, it doesn't fit any more. Blue? No, don't like that one. Zim?"
"Absolutely not, Cap. Nor Dent, nor Ford Prefect. Gonna cut you off at the pass on that one."
Alex made a strange noise in her throat; with more patience than Kirell remembered them having, the Captain and Sleepy waited for her to be able to speak. When she did, it was a single word.
"Ripley."

Chapter 4: Directions of Destiny
[Self-note: "///" means a change in the scene took place] …Suddenly an unknown person appears behind Veer.
"Yo! Mind if I sit with you guys for lunch." ...
"Yes, we mind. Please fuck off." Said Veer with a playful sarcastic tone while not knowing who was standing behind him.
"Bruhhhh," Abhi replied with a discouraged tone.
Wait, it's him, we can get to know him right now. Veer better not ruin this opportunity. Dep and Kevin thought to themselves.
"He is just goofin' around. Come sit with us." Kevin reassures him while displaying a forced smile.
"What, why are we letting someone sit with us? Asked Veer without realizing who was behind him.
"Turn around you freaking moron" Dep whispered to Veer.
Ain't no way. It's him, it's Abhi.
"Damn, almost got me ha-ha." Said Abhi with an awkward smile while standing behind Veer.
" cough my bad cough I just can't help myself. Gotta do a little bit of trolling ya know..." Said Veer after realizing that the key to unlock the truth had walked towards them with its own two legs.
"It's all right… If y'all forgot about me, I'm-". "Abhi! Your Abhi. We know you mate. Only one person had an intro we didn't immediately forget the next minute." Said Kevin.
"Yeah, everyone was shocked. Are you really from Rakvill?" Veer asked nonchalantly.
"Yes." Answered Abhi bluntly, in a second, he continued: "Also, it's been a few hours so I could have forgotten some of y'all names by now. Can I double-check because the last thing we want is not knowing each other's names for years to come right?".
"Yeah, it's fine." Said Dep.
The three of them were going to reintroduce themselves but Abhi started speaking before they even got a chance to.
"Veer, the Orange-haired skinny dude who likes MMA." Said Abhi while pointing at Veer who was sitting next to him.
"Damn! That's a description." Said Veer. "I'm sorry, that's just how I memorize things.
It's a habit… actually more like an instinct."
"Okie dokie." Said Veer.
"Kevin, the big black buff dude. I mean, the dude with long black hair who likes going to the gym?"
"I'll take that as a compliment ha-ha." Said Kevin.
"And… Deep?"
"Nuhuh, it's Dep. Also, why don't I get a Memory Description as well, huh?" Said Dep.
"Oh sorry, I'll try next time." Replied Abhi.
"Heh, so you are gonna forget my name again? So bad, at least you could have mentioned my pretty brown hair." Said Dep in a silly grumpy tone while pouting her lips.
"Stop pulling his leg." Said Kevin.
"Ha-ha, it's fine." Said Abhi.
"By the way, Is Abhi like a shortened name? I go by Dep, shortened from Deepika, so is your real name Abhishek or Abhijit?" Asked Dep
"No, it's just Abhi; which literally just means 'Now' Quite funny, isn't it."
"Pretty cool yeah." Said Veer.
"Nice, so when did you come to town?" Asked Kevin in an attempt to pry into the mystery behind Abhi.
"Just a few months ago... I also have a part-time job after school." Said Abhi.
"Oh, so did you leave Rakvill around the end of last year?" Asked Kevin.
"Maybe…. I don't exactly remember." Answered Abhi.
"Really? Wasn't that around the time the war had ended?" Said Veer.
Kevin subtly looks at Veer, gazing at him with his piercing eyes. Expressing displeasure over Veer asking that question.
"I don't know, by the way, my job gives me a house to live in as a bonus," Said Abhi, perhaps in an attempt to divert from the trio's questions.
"Hey, that's pretty cool, I do hear about some hard jobs giving these types of facilities from my father." Said Dep with an energetic tone to Abhi.
"Well, it's work at a steel factory, so it's as hard as it gets around here, no pun intended." Said Abhi while softly chuckling.
The rest of the group also lets out a giggle which eases the atmosphere a bit.
"Great, by the way, I wanted to ask if you know anything about incident 99 of Rakv-" Kevin gets interrupted while finishing his sentence.
"Heyyy Abhi, wanna try some of Paneer Tikka?" Veer interrupted that question, giving Kevin the same piercing gaze he received from him just moments before.
"Oh thanks, Veer but I'll have to pass, you don't have much food left."
"Ay, don't worry 'bout it, I ate plenty. You can eat as much as you want. Well, I wouldn't mind sharing your food either, my parents don't want me to eat the Mid-day meal, and the food lady rats me out if I get some without my parent's permission, so I really would like to try some. Equivalent Exchange ya know." "Ha-ha, Alright then I'll appreciate your Paneer Tikka, my friend," Said Abhi in a light-hearted comical tone.
"Ha-ha, go ahead, it's all yours." Veer slid his tiffin box towards Abhi, and then Abhi joined his hands and said a quick prayer.
He takes a bite of the food and, for a second sits there silently staring at nothing.
"Wow, it's amazing, Veer. Thank your mom for me please." Said Abhi while slowly chewing the bite in his mouth.
"Sure, though my chef made the dish, not my mom." Said Veer.
"Oh… Well, say thanks to your chef as well then." Said Abhi in a silly tone
"Sure ha-ha." Veer chuckled back at Abhi. "I need to go to the bathroom real quick. I'll be right back" Said Abhi, then he slowly stood up and walked away.
The group gazed at Abhi while he slowly walked towards the building, they did not speak a single word until he finally entered the school building. As soon as he was out of sight:
"That was sudden." Said Dep while gazing at the entrance of the building where Abhi was last seen.
"Kevin, you dummy, what if he left because of you." Said Veer with a stern irritated voice. "What did I do?" Said Kevin while creasing his eyebrows in confusion.
"Weren't you piercing me with those gloomy eyes of yours when I was asking Abhi about the exact time he left Rakvill?" Said Veer
"Yeah, asking that question was too personal, too quick. He could've become suspicious of why you were digging for information so hard." Replied Kevin.
"So why did you go straight to asking about incident 99? Wouldn't it be even worse?" Said Veer.
"..." Kevin knitted his eyebrows while he thought about Veer's words in silence.
"Fair point, my bad. So how do we get this information from him without raising suspicion?" Said Kevin.
"I agree, asking about the incident 99 might be a bit too personal for him. Then what if we…" Dep proposed a plan to 'naturally' get that information out of Abhi.
"That works" Replied Kevin and Veer together.
///
A few minutes later, Abhi walked out of the school building. He then walked towards the tree the group was sitting under and greeted them.
"Hey, I'm back." Said Abhi, but to him, everyone seemed to be deep in a conversation and didn't notice him. He sits down silently on his own beside Veer.
"Yeah, and do you think this has something to do with the incident 99… Oh hey didn't see you there Abhi." Said Veer turning to look at Abhi while acting as if he took a pause from a deep conversation.
"Hey..." Said Abhi with an awkward smile. He starts to eat his mid-day meal again, alongside a little bit of the Paneer Tikka Veer kept aside for him. "Hey Veer, thanks for keeping a share of your food for me." Said Abhi.
"No worries, enjoy." Replied Veer with a Gentle smile on his face.
Veer, Dep, and Kevin all three look towards each other for a second, and in the next instance Dep who was sitting opposite Abhi speaks up.
"What happened today was crazy right?"
"You mean the stuff with the president?" Replied Abhi with a confused expression.
"Yeah, we were just talking about that. Even after a few hours I still can't believe what happened." Said Kevin while looking straight at Abhi with his gloomy eye.
"Yeah, a warning about a terrorist attack from the president of the country is a pretty wild thing to happen on the first day of the school." Said Abhi with a small chuckle.
"Not just that he even gave the students a task isn't that just feral." Said Dep with her eyebrows flared up high, showcasing a shocked expression. A bit too shocked.
"Yeah, he talked about the task of collecting information regarding the terrorist attacks and all that." Said Veer flamboyantly. A bit too flamboyantly…
"Oh yeah, I was a bit scared when he talked about all dat. I also noticed something; the teacher said that the info video is extremely important for everyone yet she didn't take roll call to confirm everyone is present." Said Abhi.
"Probably because only one specific person's life was supposed to be influenced by that message." Mumbled Veer softly while looking at the ground.
"What did you say?" Asked Abhi in confusion.
"It's nothing just… just forget about him, let's talk about you. So Abhi, you are from Rakvill yourself, right? So do you think today's video had something to do with the Incident 99?" Said Kevin in a subtle friendly tone with an unusual glint in his usually gloomy eyes and a bright smile on his face. Slightly too bright…
All three of them subtly looked at Abhi's reaction with razor-sharp attention, they planned to get Abhi to talk about incident 99 on his own while partaking in a normal conversation they fabricated in order to avoid any suspicion. But the reaction they got was… unexpected.
"I… I don't… I don't know… I don't know." Abhi stumbled upon his words, his posture was relaxed yet completely still with not a single ounce of movement. His eyes were… empty and pointed in the same direction, without a single blink. It seemed like he was thinking about something yet it also seemed like there was nothing but darkness behind those dark brown eyes. His pupils suddenly dilated, eclipsing most of his eyeballs.
A full 10 seconds passed and all three of them looked at each other, concerned about Abhi's suspended state of silence.
"Abhi... ABHI! Are you ok?" Veer held his shoulder and shook him out of his previous state.
"I need to go today?... Oh wait… yeah, I'm fine. Just phased out I guess, happens sometimes." Replied Abhi while rubbing his eyes with his wrists.
He was acting as if he just woke up from a deep lucid dream.
For a second the three of them looked at each other with uncertainty.
Could this be a sign of us pushing him too much for information? They thought, still subtly signaling each other to keep going forward.
"No way bros just daydreaming that deep." Said Dep in a joking tone.
"Haha, it do be like that sometimes yawns." Replied Abhi.
"Here, have some water" Kevin extended his water bottle towards Abhi.
"Thanks mate but I got some water with me, I'll be fine." Abhi politely declines Kavin.
"Alright, though I've wanted to ask you something." Said Kevin while putting down his water bottle.
"What is it?" Abhi asked with creased eyebrows.
"Why did you reveal you are from Rakvill? You are aware that there are a lot of stigmas against the people of Rakvill right? Even if everyone assumed you came here legally, they might still treat you with indifference."
Abhi didn't immediately reply as he was drinking out of his water bottle.
"Yeah actually, you could've just kept it a secret right?" Veer said while collaborating with Kevin in his efforts to dig for information. As Abhi finished drinking his water and closed its lid Veer and Kevin subtly looked at each other as they were eagerly anticipating the result of their collaborated efforts.
Abhi finally speaks: "Well, if I'm being honest… I just heard all of your colorful intros, with loads of hobbies and interesting backgrounds. But I just can't remember anything special about myself so in the moment, I just blurted out my own background in an attempt to make myself sound interesting." Answered Abhi with his head facing down towards the ground and his left hand fiddling with his hair with a shy demeanor.
Kevin, Dep, and Veer looked at each other for a second and started laughing out loud. "Uhm! Is that really so funny?" Asked Abhi while looking mildly confused.
"No, we just… still laughing... we just thought there would be a deeper reason behind revealing your homeland to the entire class ha-ha." Said Dep while laughing.
"Well, that was all ha-ha," said Abhi while awkwardly smiling back.
All of them had a few seconds of laughter together. As they calmed down, Dep realized that Abhi had his guard down while laughing, and used this opportunity to get more information.
"Wait a second, I just realized another thing about your intro, you didn't say your last name while introducing yourself, is there a reason for that?" Asked Dep with a soft tone and a genuine smile.
Abhi suddenly stopped moving again... "Cough Uhm burp Sorry guys I have to go to the…. I'm gonna have to leave right now, let's talk some other time." Abhi didn't answer Dep's question and instead packed his stuff and jogged towards the school building.

2024.05.19 04:31 samliiizzz082709 Any tips to move on?

So, I've been liking this boy for almost one year, but it doesn't feel like a year only but years. As someone who loves counting the days when I had a crush, this boy is so different to the other boys I liked. I never count the days/months I liked him. I really like him and I'm always having a hard time expressing it, but for him I find it easy. He's the first guy I had the courage to confess on him many times. I bought a lot of gifts for him too, which I don't usually do. I also gave him a letter, and I never give someone a letter even if it's my crush, he's literally the first person. Lastly, I made a poem for him, in which I threw because I'm trying to move on. One of my friend who's friend with my crush told me that my crush liked my bsf. I thought I would be mad, but I just accepted it. Who am I to get mad, right? I have no rights. What I hate is he gave me a lot of mixed signals, and he would never reject me, yet he doesn't like me. I never get mad at him, really. Even if I think about something bad about him, I really never get mad.
As I was gaslighting myself saying "I don't like him anymore" I had another crush and we had a thing, but we never had a label. But after that, I always think of that specific crush I had, he's just so different and I miss it.
After all that, I still like him. I always find it hard to move on from him. I really need help.

Conversational Uglies in Cafe
Hi guys. I’m aware this poem requires a bit of (medical) context so you can scroll to the end for it or you can just experience it blind. ( 1 2 )
\\
My body is whimpering these begs to stay alive.
But I withhold the medicine in a a literal gut wrenching tease (side effects include: severe abdominal pain).
There’s no cure for this disease and several names for this cruelty.
I’ll shuffle through them like a deck of cards. Make your bets now. How many hospital visits this year? Just one if I do this right…
When the lights go off and nobody’s home,
the report will say the house was last observed hollow,
because my body was eating itself to stay alive and all these ugly musings died with me.
What can I say? My liver’s a champion.
I’m lucky. That’s what the doctor said.
Ha.
On my deathbed, the boisterous cadences of my hunger will have followed me.
Echoing from the flimsy walls of this wicked anatomy.
(A moment of silence to let the teenage-edginess pass, please. The flesh must mock itself to save itself).
What was it for? I.E this self-inflicted torture.
A body in pain is easier to inhabit, that’s how it’s always been for me.
Even the anxieties are worth the way my collarbones jut in this sexy way.
“Too much, too much, Body. Rein it in. Tone it down.”
There’s a strategy to this, you see. The best killers are only briefly suspect.
My skin is yellow. My skin is dry. I’ll go blind one day. Not today. Two warring concepts. Who I Am and Who I Thought I Was.
(“You’re lucky.”)
Oh, how the dress clings…
Insert cartoonish sound effects of medicine being injected.
The swelling is instant. Of my body, and of the orchestra as my life is finally fed. (THE DRESS CLINGS! IT MUSTN’T! IT MUSTN’T!).
My bloodstream’s biased. Can’t listen to it. My brain chemistry is feeling conflicted about the whole ordeal but it’ll come around.
Self-love is important and I’m afraid the insulin metabolizes it, too.
I won’t let myself swallow my reality.
But this tiramisu serves my goals perfectly, friend (It comes in biscuit-cream-coffee-chocolate-devastation layers).
I’m supermodel-level agonized, baby. That’s the suffering we all strive for.
I make an idol of the grief.
The months keep track of themselves loudly. (Doctor in ICU: you’re just waiting for an accident to happen. (Girl has no response)).
Anyhow, a corpse can’t feel regret so I’m not too worried.
Just pretend you understand my humor (like how I pretend I don’t understand this sacrifice).
This one’s on me if you promise never to ask how I am.
///
Context: Diabulimia is a complicated eating disorder where a diabetic will purposely withhold insulin to lose weight (as insulin is a hormone that helps sugar enter cells for energy and therefore cause weight gain). As insulin is withheld, the liver begins to breakdown fat and basically melt it into the bloodstream for energy. Weight is lost but the blood’s acidity rises as a consequence leading to DKA, fatal if not treated. If you or someone you know is exhibiting side effects of DKA or diabulimia, allow me to be cliche and advise you to seek help.

2024.05.19 01:47 Fluffy-Walk-7027 A new mentality

My ex and I had a very messy 1 year relationship. He was incredibly narcissistic and toxic, he made me distance myself from my family and was very selfish. He also cheated on me many times with his ex. He was also a relationship hopper who did not love himself and did not know how to be alone. I tried to help him many times and took him to therapy but he just did not want help.
Despite all of this, he helped me understand my depression and he made good music that really helped me heal.
The last time he cheated on me was with someone much younger who he met on tinder. I left and never looked back. I blocked him on everything and despite doing this before, we could never keep no contact. But this time I was determined to do so. It was incredibly hard because I cared so deeply for this person and it hurt knowing he was with someone else. They moved in together after 2 weeks and this is when I cut ties.
It took me a good 8 months to forget he existed.
3 years later.. out of the blue, I get an email from him asking if we could speak. I didn’t really want to as I know how manipulative he can be and my friends all told me no, but something in my heart was telling me this was different.
I was SHOCKED he reached out because he has an ego the size of Texas and so I never expected him to contact me.
Something seemed so off.. He called me crying (something he never did) and he apologized for everything he put me through and tells me that I was the only person who truly accepted him for who he was and his deepest regret was treating me the way he did blah blah I didn’t take too much of it to heart as I know how manipulative he can be.
Regardless, I told him I forgave him a long time ago as I truly don’t hold space in my heart for hate or resentment and that I just hope he is now being a better person to others.
We planned to meet face to face a couple of days later.
The day came and he never showed, I texted him but he never replied. I got a call that same day from him at stupid o’clock but I was so mad that he stood me up, so I didn’t answer. I couldn’t believe I was made a fool once again and I fell for his antics.
Well, little did I know that he passed away that night. His pain and regret for the things he did was too much for him to face.
As I spent the next couple of years grieving him, I learned that I actually loved and cared for him more than I thought I did and so did he. At his funeral, I had the chance to speak to his mother who always supported us and who also tried to help him to change. She told me that they did have to go through all of his things with the police, including his phone and computers. I was shocked to hear about how many songs, poems and messages expressing his love and regret. I never thought he actually cared about me at all.
This taught me that you should never underestimate the hole your absence will leave in someone’s life. However, you must give them space to miss you. Sadly, men only learn value via losing.
On the other side, protect your peace, guard your heart and forgive yourself. Apologize to them if you need to, cry if you need to and let it go.
His family kindly allowed his demos to be uploaded onto Spotify for me and his friends to listen to.
If you’re ever wondering if he misses you, of course he does but people miss people dead or alive, it’s nothing new.
Whoever you meet, always try to leave them better than how you found them - and I don’t mean baby them or try and change them - what I mean is, SHOW them, using your actions, how people SHOULD be. No matter how bad of a person they are, always be kind, always be patient, always forgive (but you don’t need to forget) - you may ask why, as some people really don’t deserve it, but please understand that you might be the closest thing to love someone will ever experience.
I hope this made sense ❤️

2024.05.18 23:30 KUTULUSEE Dragon Christs

Dragon Christs
"People, look at yourselves, did not Christs emerge from you, and can you not be Christs? Can I with will-power not be a Christ…? How absurd all our life is. It distorts us from the cradle, and instead of truly real people some kind of monster emerges. " ➖Kliuev's protege, Esenin (1895-1925), longed for the end of the old world and its replacement by a new one, and even proclaimed a new religious trend called "Aggelism," with clear roots in Russian Gnosticism. He hailed both Christ and Gautama the Buddha as geniuses because they were men of "word and deed". In a letter to a friend, Esenin wrote the above. ➖He warned the United States, to him the symbol of all non-Russian and rationalist sources, not to commit the mistake of "unbelief" and ignore the new "message" from Russia, as the way to the new life is only through Russia. A friend wrote how Esenin and his fellow ‘Scythian' poets wanted a "deepening of the political revolution to the social" and came to regard Russian Marxism as "coarse". Before his death Esenin became convinced ‘evil forces' had usurped the Revolution and the Bolshevics betrayed Russia's mission. ➖The famed poet Nikolai Kliuev knew both Dr. Badmaev and Grigory Rasputin, and like the latter had been initiated into a secret school of Christian sexual mysticism with similarities to Tibetan Tantra and Indian Shivaism. "They called me a Rasputin," Kliuev wrote in a 1918 poem. Kliuev's spirituality was deeply rooted in the tradition of the Russian religious dissidents like the Old Believers, the Khlysty and Skoptsy, who formed a veritable subterranean river among the common people. Kliuev admitted how challenged by a Khlyst elder to "become a Christ," he was introduced to the secret community of "Dove brethren". With the help of "various people of secret identity", Kliuev traveled all over Russia participating in secret rituals and imbibing the occult traditions of the Russian East. ➖In his poems Kliuev sought to convey the mystic spirit of Eurasia. He was a prophet of Belovodia, the name given by Russian Old Believers to the awaited earthly paradise similar to Shambhala. Kliuev envisioned a radical transformation of Russia that would bring about a classless society where peasant culture would triumph over industrialism, capitalism, and the general mechanisation of life. He expressed his concern about the dangers of soulless Western civilisation in a 1914 letter to a friend: ➖Every day I go into the grove – and sit there by a little chapel – and the age-old pine tree, but an inch to the sky, I think about you… I kiss your eyes and your dear heart… O, mother wilderness! Paradise of the spirit… How hateful and black seems all the so-called civilised world and what I would give, what Golgotha I would bear – so that America should not encroach upon the blue-feathered dawn… upon the fairy tale hut. ➖The Russian philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev articulated the vision shared by pre-revolution Russian thinkers as well as the cultural elite, when he wrote of the end of Western rationalism and the birth of a new era of the spirit which would witness the struggle of Christ and Antichrist. He saw the popularity of mystical and occult doctrines as proof of the approach of this New Era, and called for a "new knighthood". "Man is not a unit in the universe, forming part of an unrational machine, but a living member of an organic hierarchy, belonging to a real and living whole." Berdyaev's attacks on Western materialist values only reflected a view widely held by Russian society. Writing in exile in the early 1930s he observed: ➖Individualism, the ‘atomisation' of society, the inordinate acquisitiveness of the world, indefinite over-population and the endlessness of people's needs, the lack of faith, the weakening of the spiritual life, these and other are the causes which have contributed to build up that industrial capitalist system which has changed the face of human life and broken its rhythm with nature.
I Peter II: IX "......You are a Chosen Generation, A Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People....."
The phrase Royal Priesthood will be familiar to scholars who have studied the concept of priest kingship. The word royal derives from the Latin Regalis meaning to rule. Originally this meant ’to apply a rule’, meaning to be able to measure, observe and thus divine and understand the hidden span or workings of matter. In this sense a ruler was one who was born with the ability to measure and hence understand the hidden workings of the Cosmos. Here we have a direct reference to derkesthai. Hence the regalis was the derkesthai and the derkesthai was the Dragon King. The condition of being royal in the accepted sense is derived from being born into a royal family, clan, race (species) or tribe. Contextually and originally this phrase could only have been used in connextion with the Davidic concept of royalty passed through the blood as the ’holy spirit’ (genetic inheritance) of the gods: Mana, Maia or Maja (Maga or Magi, Magha, Maxa: greatness).

2024.05.18 22:46 mikasnumberonefan My parents killed my imagination and it's time to reclaim that bitch

I was just sat talking to myself, as I love to do, and I realised something that feels quite significant. I was talking about my future and all the things I want to do, and how excited I feel about all of it, and then I felt this part of myself chime in like 'yeah but let's think about the logistics of that', so I started talking about all the logistical details, and then I was like hold on a minute, why am I doing this? I was having such a good time, what happened there?
I realised that every time I'd express a dream for my future, or something I felt excited about or interested in to my mum growing up, she'd shoot me down every time without fail. There'd always be a 'but have you thought about this thing, or that thing?' or 'but this wouldn't be possible for this reason', or just an unreadable, blank look on her face without any sort of response at all - she'd never share in my excitement and wonder. I realised that my imagination died very early on because she killed it. The neglect and abuse certainly didn't help either.
Recently I've been feeling super depressed, and feeling like my future is dark, imperceptible, and that I'm not going to 'make it' - whether that means I won't succeed in fulfilling goals, or that I won't be alive at all. I had just started feeling better yesterday, and then all this excitement came pouring out, and I felt that urge to stop it or 'be realistic' - and then I realised the direct connection to mum.
I lost my ability to imagine, to dream, to feel excited about all the things I want to do, about how good they will feel - and I've decided, as a big Fuck You to both my inner critic and my parents, that I'm going to start intentionally spending time imagining my future as often as possible, and feeling all the excitement and joy that naturally comes up. I'm going to give myself permission to write, draw and think, in a very playful, child-like way about the things I feel passionate about and desire. It's also about trusting that I'm capable of handling logistics when I need to, but not swapping out my imagination for that out of fear.
I haven't had a healing 'ah-ha!' for a while, but this feels like one. Woo hoo. Time to play.

2024.05.18 22:33 JulianSkies Blackriver Cases - Season 10 “Days of Fury” - Episode 2 “Visiting Omen”

[ [FIRST] [NEXT>]

Season 10 “Days of Fury” - Episode 2 “Visiting Omen”

He had hoped for a boring day. Boring days are good at work, and Santos was already expecting to not have many of them for a while.
The first couple of days were boring, as usual- Blackriver is a small town, and the worst that had happened was Nila and Kessa making a few wellness checks after worried calls from neighbors. A couple of people in denial, a few ashamed at their own violent outbursts and a stern warning to Tamm about painting others’ properties without asking first.
This morning, however, began with an all-hands meeting. There were no meeting rooms in the office, so they made do in the general workspace room, they all stood there at the center while Keya looked them over.
“We have received a report from a neighboring city about a convoy of protestors making its way to Blackriver” she describes without tone. At this point nobody bothers interrupting.
“This convoy is comprised of approximately four hundred and seventy eight individuals of multiple species, primarily human and venlil but with operationally relevant representations of the entire spectrum of size and mobility types” her paws are behind her back, her ears focused directly ahead, her eyes centered to keep the entire team on the core of her focus “They have crossed multiple cities already, generally engaging in verbal sparring with any figure of authority, parading signs and banners denouncing all manners of authorities as well as occasionally engaging in physical altercations with officers.”
“They are also known to engage in vandalism. Though primarily aimed at exterminator and police precincts as well as public offices, they have already caused considerable collateral to others they have identified as ‘collaborators’” there’s a single heartbeat of waiting for breath before she continues “They have, however, not shown to be an incredibly organized group or one with a clear goal and objective. The convoy appears to contain only extremely emotionally charged people with no clear overarching goal.”
“We are incapable of dealing with the situation should they turn aggressive, as such we will be simply maintaining watch and relocating the populace should they become a problem.” Then, she picks up her holopad and passes it to Lunek beside her “They can only follow one path with the entire convoy, the central street, therefore I have divided it into four sectors. One of each will be assigned to a sector.”
First her ears turn to the first target “Lunek, sector one at the entrance. As the most approachable member of the precinct your task is to give an initial image of harmlessness. Do not engage first, do not take initiative against them. Ensure the members of the herd in the area are warned of their approach. If they become aggressive, retreat and focus on the escape of the herd.”
She tilts her head a little bit, turning her ears the other way “Marik, sector two. Mostly the commercial area, your task is ostensive protection to lower the chances of them initiating aggression. Whereas protection of the herd is first priority your second priority is ensuring Tenve’s Hardware Store as well as Sunbreeze Meals and Watchful Café remain capable of providing anyone whose residences become damaged.” suddenly, she turns her head entirely to face Marik “Ostensive protection means dissuasion, ensure that they know they are not under threat and as long as those specific areas are not engaged, do not provoke”
Next in her line of fire is Santos “As our human officer you will be in sector three, nearby the precinct. They are liable to become most agitated in this area and your presence may serve to calm them. You are not to engage, if deemed necessary the precinct’s materials are considered expendable, do not attempt to stop them”
“Sector four, the exit of town, will be with me to ensure that they have fully left Blackriver and will not attempt to turn back” then she tilts her ears again “Aren, you will gear up with a CCG and remain out of view range, your task will be quick emergency response should the need arise.” she then points her tail at the last three officers “Vess, your task will be to inform the herd and ensure a clear path for the convoy while Nila and Kessa will gather all of our medical supplies and set a staging area out of the convoy’s range. Organize ambulance assistance from Striped Hill and Everrain”
Then, she turns her ears around to focus each one in turn “As any attempt at aggression will end only in negative consequences, and in order to reduce the apparent levels of threat you will be unarmed. The estimated time of arrival is a third of a claw, ready yourselves and be at your post in time. Dismissed.”
“Not sure if I like or I don’t that we had the cold bastard right now” Aren says, as soon as Keya had left the room “Maybe we should move in closer when the convoy gets to sector four?”
“Probably a good idea to be nearby” Santos adds with a sigh “They might take umbrage with her demeanor, hopefully they won’t be set off too hard.”
And with silent signs of agreement all of the officers of Blackriver depart for preparations. The first ones to leave the precinct are the ones in charge of support, the two girls set off early to find someone willing to permit usage of their lawn as a possible impromptu field hospital and a little while later Aren leaves with a heavy CCG.
Slowly, the clock ticks to the appointed claw… And soon enough, Lunek can see in the distance the incoming omen of people. At first a distant line in the horizon, slowly the dark mark on the road coalesces into distinct shapes, the shapes of hundreds of vehicles slowly rolling down the road.
When the first few get close to the initial buildings of the main street, the entire convoy slows down. Their process of preparation is seemingly laborious, each vehicle houses multiple people at a time, smaller cars full to the brim, flatbeds with more people on their cargo space than can safely be contained, even buses conscripted for the effort. They carry with them signs, flags, a multitude of symbols as they dismount their vehicles and start spreading out to fill the street.
They seem to naturally form two distinct yet highly mixed groups, at its most distinctive is the pack of humans who keep a good distance from each other. But they are not alone in this group as takkan, mazic, yotul, zurulian and even drilvar form this central group. But flowing around them, not avoiding their presence but never infringing in their space is the grey mass of venlil, packed tight together, and mixed in there adding color to the monochromatic flux are krakotl, tilfish, sulean, iftali, sivkit and even a seemingly very confused duerten.
And at the very core of the moving group are their vehicles, which gently start rolling forward again as the group starts moving. Lunek simply waits, silently, by the side of the road, his ears attentively swiveling from one side to the other, expression having given way to function. Before the first of the convoy even arrives close he turns to the side, making a pointing sign with his tail. A woman who had been watching from her yard flicks her right ear and runs back inside.
He continues to wait, scanning around at all times for the presence of… Anything. The street is empty of locals when the first visitors start to alight. The convoy is loud, their symbols carry a loudness of colors and their vehicles make as much noise as they can to draw attention, but those who walk seem content in allowing their tools to speak for them, for now. Lunek tries to make sense of the banners and signs, but the messages are disparate as the group- Some speak of injustices against their people, some speak of anger at invaders, some speak of betrayal.
“Fuck off, fireman!” comes the harsh bark of a human, causing Lunek to flinch. But flinch is all he does, he simply starts walking alongside the moving convoy.
The exterminator’s attention is drawn to the details of the few people he can distinguish amongst the mass. Something tickles at his pattern-recognition but he cannot quite ascertain what for a while, until a lightly limping mazic makes her way to the edge of the mass “Want to finish the job?!” she trumpets, her form towering over his.
“I’m just observing, ma’am.” Though the tremor of his voice is noticeable, he remains stoic. But her proximity makes him notice something about her body, marks in her wrists, neck and feet. Though mazic have powerful wrists and knuckles upon which they support the front half of their weight, her left wrist seems completely incapable of it, giving her a limp particular to a three-point walk. “To make sure there’s no impediment on your path” he notices the leathery skin around her left wrist is deeply blackened.
“Oh, ‘no impediment’ is that it? So everyone that lives here is an impediment?!” her voice booms.
“Ma’am” still, he does not yield nor does he break his pace following the convoy “We have not done anything other than inform our people of your presence…” for a half second all he hears is the sound of his own heart “We can’t do anything else.”
Those words, then, sealed his fate. The first shout to echo in his direction was a yotul howling “Yeah you’re useless!” and soon the avalanche came in multiple voices and languages “Can’t do shit!” “You’re just here to hurt people!” “Useless crap!” “Idiot!” and many more.
With every step and twitch the very average exterminator puts all of his focus on just being there. He lets himself cower a little bit, against the barrage it is difficult not to, but he continues to accompany. A few curious coats step out from their houses to watch, but the front of the convoy seems far too focused on the sole exterminator in view to bother anyone else.
A few steps ahead, an older venlil with a cane has moved the closest to the convoy as any watcher has up to now. Seeing her proximity to the increasingly rowdy crowd causes Lunek to speed up, quickly approaching her “Leva-”
But his words are stalled when she puts a paw on his shoulder, she gently puts her head against his for just a second “You’re doing good pup, keep at it” she mutters to him before breaking contact and turning around to walk back inside. He can spy her grandchildren looking on through the door. Lunek looks back at the still-shouting moving convoy, takes a deep breath, and continues to accompany them forward. A small pawful of them, however, seem to have fallen silent.
Once having reached the limit of his assigned zone, however, Lunek stops. He watches the convoy move forward, past the houses, now noisier than before. The initial hollering at him had turned into disjointed screams at some indistinct foe- Though the herd had been noticed of a foe, it was yet unaware of who, or what, said foe was. So for now it howled at the ineptitude of… Someone. And as the last of the convoy passes beyond the imaginary line of his duty, Lunek lets out a deep sigh and allows himself to sit down on the ground.
He stays there for a moment, without thought, simply letting the tension, confusion and fear permeate his body until a gentle paw touches his arm. He doesn’t need to look to identify it, he lets his lover use her strength to prop him up, raising him to his feet “Keina you shouldn’t-”
“Neighbor’s looking over Tiss” his wife wraps her arms and tail around him “I’m not leaving you alone.” she stays like that for a second, before breaking off “Do you need to go after them?”
“No”
Marik stalks through the sidewalk, moving with energy. His speed outpaces the movement of the convoy, his paws twitch to grasp at something that isn’t there and a deep and intense motion makes his short fur stand on end. He had let the convoy’s head move in front of him, simply standing still as he assessed as many as he could in the mass, and now he had begun to move towards the front again.
As he stalked forward he focused his sight on every member of the convoy that seemed of interest. A human whose clothes seemed suspiciously loose, a venlil whose movements were far too stiff, a gojid who kept his claws behind his back. He stared at each like they were his quarry, analyzing every piece of movement they made for threats, and yet aside from the challenge in the human’s gaze he saw no danger arise.
Tenve had closed his shop, so as the convoy moved forward Marik simply continued to follow along, scanning the crowd for threats. But the next point of interest arrives, and he rushes ahead placing himself in front of the only restaurant of the town. Sunbreeze Meals wasn’t a very common sort of restaurant, Blackriver did not have enough visitors for a normal restaurant to be profitable and was small enough most people had their meals at home, it most often served takeout for those farmers who’d spend so long in the field they would return home without the energy to feed themselves.
Sparing a look inside at the only five tables, Marik couldn’t keep a small thought away from his mind. How most who got their meals from Sunbreeze these days did so because they enjoyed the cooking rather than their need of work, ever since the sunspeck population has been brought under control and the maintenance of the fields had become much smaller. He feels the presence long before he can recognize what led him to feel it and turns to stare at a group of six that approach the entrance: Two humans, a tilfish, two gojids and a takkan had broken off from the convoy and approached the restaurant.
He traces his color band over each in turn, and they all bristle at his stare. One of the humans hesitates before continuing to walk inside, and Marik simply remains by the door with his arms crossed, left ear twisted as far back as he could to listen to the inside.
“What have you got here?”
“W-we mostly ha-have ready ma-made meals to go or- or- Or you can look over the menu”
“There’s no need to stutter, y’know”
“So-sorry-”
“Really, after everything y’all are still with this predator crap?”
The chimes on the door echo for the second time in sequence as Marik makes his way inside. The tilfish had started to lean over the counter while the other five had arrayed themselves behind her. They all turn their attention to him as he enters, including the venlil manning the counter. Marik keeps his gaze directly on the tilfish for a few uncomfortable seconds, before looking at the man behind the counter and making a simple sign with his tail, a short vertical bob with the tip and a slow horizontal swipe. It’s meaning simple: >Safe<.
After a few seconds someone else appears from the kitchen. The tall venlil carries a large stack of plastic boxes in his arms, all of them seemingly designed to attach to themselves so as to be carried with ease. He puts them down with a resounding crash on the counter, and opens up his voice with ice “Farmer’s Pots, good meal when you’re working and can’t go home.” With each word the owner of the restaurant and main cook comes closer and closer to the tilfish, until the last “Ten credits each.”
Nobody moves for a couple of seconds, and then one of the humans steps closer and brings a holopad over to the credit reader. There’s a noise indicating payment, and then the owner raises his head and tilts it to focus his favored eye and both of his ears at the man who paid “Now,” he shifts register in his voice and the language he speaks in “fuck off” he finishes.
With no small amount of surprise the group of six retrieve the stack of packaged meals, carefully walking out and back into the convoy. Marik stays behind for a moment “Didn’t know you spoke human”
“Pup’s enamored with their languages. Of course, first greek words he learns is swearing.”
Outside, Marik stalks further ahead to the next point of interest. He moves faster than the convoy, and has time to move in front of it. For a few meters the street is still clear as he arrives to find a group of people standing in front of the Watchful. Standing there were all of its employees, and even all of its regulars, twenty people total standing there as if they were having the most normal day. If not for their raised ears tracking every noise coming from down the street and their swaying tails swinging about like angry beasts.
One of them simply points his tail at the other side of the street as Marik comes closer, and the hunter doesn’t need a second command to understand the meaning. They have this, he has a less practical but just as important duty. He crosses the street quickly before the convoy starts coming closer, and heads towards the park.
As the regulars of the Watchful had feared, it took little time until a large group had broken off from the convoy. With the town on alert about the convoy they had found themselves bereft of prey and now this group had set out to find some, anyone who might be willing, or not, to listen to their grievances. And what is clearly a place designed for people to congregate looked most appetizing.
Marik shadowed the group as they moved through the park, but they were accompanied by nothing but silence. It wasn’t until they ran into the centerpiece of the park that he took initiative, stepping ahead of the group and simply… Standing there a distance away from the tree of many scions, between it and the group.
“What’s so important over there, fireman?” it was a venlil who asked, but his usage of an english word was not lost on Marik.
“A place you will respect” the exterminator has his arms crossed, the one good portion of his gaze set on the man who asked “This is a grave.”
Though the group that now prowled was large, those who heard were taken aback. One such, however, approaches closer. He was a venlil whose fur shifted between a soft, brownish color and a dirty white “A tradition of the tenets right? One of those family trees?” The man would have been distinctive in any other group due to his missing patches of fur around neck, wrists, even portions around his head. But such signs of long term damage were common in the convoy.
Interest. They had shown true interest, or at least one of them had. “No, but similar… The forgotten tree is a grave for the forgotten.” He felt like these people, at least the ones before him, could probably understand the meaning of this place “It is of no tradition. Someone, a long time ago, wanted to honor someone who was gone but whose name was not meant to be remembered. Someone who had disappeared in the system… So they borrowed on another’s tradition, and added a scion to this tree, with something in their memory. Others have done so similarly, until it became… A grave for the forgotten”
“Didn’t think you’d be worried about this kind of place” it’s a human that speaks up this time
“Our duty is to protect this town, what you think-” but Marik’s words are interrupted by that same venlil who had asked before. His demeanor suddenly shifts, his ears perk up and his entire body shifts forward for a moment. He hesitates, for a second everyone’s focus is on him, and then he runs towards the tree.
Marik follows behind, stopping just by the man’s side as he finds himself at the base of the tree. The man makes a direct line to somewhere, something he had found from the distance, as if it had called him. He finds a thick and heavy branch that had been bent down by the weight of its scions and memories, near its base and speaking of a memory left behind long ago is a braid of fur made of three colors, a dirty white, a soft brown and a dark grey, bound by the braids are two beads.
The man raises up a paw, but does not touch it. As if cradling it, he recites the words engraved in one of the beads “I will cross every star to return home” others have come closer to listen to the man’s hoarse voice “There will always be a home for you” he reads of the second one. The names on the beads have been scratched out. The man falls on his knees “S-she kept her promise and… I couldn’t keep mine…”
Marik steps back as he watches two others come closer to comfort the man. He looks as a few others approach with more caution, looking up at the tree with a bit more reverence than they had before. Then, he turns around and starts heading back towards the main street.
Gazing out as the convoy gains a new flux, some leave it as it passes to move towards the park while others leave the park to rejoin the convoy, Marik simply stays there at the side of the street looking as stern as he could. Though the noise of the convoy remains great, here in this portion it seems to die down a little. A thought crosses his mind as he turns an ear as far back as he can, a thought he can’t help but voice “I wonder how many are looking at their own graves…”
As the convoy progresses, Santos simply stands by the front of the precinct, hands in his pockets. He watches the convoy arrive, heart beating fast, constrained hands the only reason he hasn't started shaking quite yet. He starts tapping his right foot as he watches the first few people cross by without noticing what this place is yet, everyone knows where the precinct is, so aside from the words printed on the sign by the entrance there is no other marker of what this building’s purpose might be.
Of course, it is impossible for nobody to notice. The entire convoy seems to stop as soon as a zurulian riding on the shoulders of a human points a claw at the building and says something. A large group breaks away at the command, all of them holding disparate signs and messages. They turn on the building with enough roars that whatever they are attempting to transmit is lost on him.
Santos is thankful his hearing isn’t nearly as good as his coworkers’, as the cacophony is already overwhelming him. He changes stances slightly, taking his hands out of his pockets and crossing his arms. This prompts a small group to turn their looks at him, the focus easily identifiable with the humans in their midst, focus which made the hair in the back of Santos’ neck stand on end. Living in this place had refined his sense of danger, but he didn’t need that to realize what could happen.
It was a group of five that approached, four humans and a venlil. “Didn’t think they’d be letting humans live out here in the boonies” said one of his kin.
Santos just shrugs “Got hired to work here. Honestly, rural folk get a needlessly bad reputation, most of the time they just don’t care as long as you’re not bothering them”
“Really? In my-”
Santos interrupts the man “Cut it out” there are many ways in which humans make themselves obvious, many of which are their eyes. Santos did understand the fear of them and why it was primal, it was not the fear of the eyes but the fear of attention, it was knowing you were under the scrutiny and judgment of another that set off that emotion. It was rarely the eyes that showed this attention for most species, but for humans it was, and the man’s clear gaze on his badge made the entire situation clear to him “Stop beating around the bush and say it already.”
Someone else is who speaks. The tall woman starts not with words, however, but by spitting on Santos’ uniform “You fucking traitor” her voice is both fierce and cold at the same time. A very emotional coldness.
“There we go” he sighs “Just… Move on. We’re not getting anything out of this conversation”
“Why?” It was the venlil in the group that started this time “These people hate you, they hate you for what you are! Why do you work for them?!”
Santos rubs his eyes and sighs “Because someone has to. Change only happens when you make it happen, simple as that”
“Change?!” another one of the humans howls “Do you think those people can change?! You know the truth, those fuckers have never done anything good!”
“You know, if you had read your history books…” Santos stares at the one who had just had their outburst “You’d remember that we once thought the very same about the police” there’s the sound of glass breaking, but he doesn’t reaction “And a lot of us still do”
The human staring him down shifts their gaze slightly at the broken window of the precinct, then back at Santos “A broken window is easy to fix” he shrugs “As I was saying. Same shit.” he crosses his arms again “There’s a role those people play, a role that needs to be played because it’s important. Different name, different problems, still the same shit. Gotta fix this, I’m doing my part” he then stares at the venlil in the group “You do yours. Simple as that.”
“Role?!” the venlil of the group steps closer “What role could they possibly have?! They only exist to hurt people!”
Santos steps back, and raises his eyes a little bit. Of course, the classics had shown themselves in this instance. With as many humans as there are in the crowd there were now quite a few objects in the air, most clearly aimed at the precinct behind him. Though given the failed arc of some of them it was clearly not just the humans indulging in such a tried and true method.
“I used to be a wildlife preserve ranger” Santos then focuses his gaze on the aggravated venlil “This is a frontier town, if you walk in the brushes with shorts you’ll walk out with your ankles numb. The athai out there are rather harmless, but they keep the sunspecks under control.” He takes another step back “Since coming here I’ve been pest control, had to catch an exotic animal set loose, investigated a murder, helped stop a child from taking her own life, stopped large scale fights, helped a dozen people avoid being arrested for self defense and helped break a fucking siege
Santos cracks his knuckles “There’s roles. Jobs that need done and there is one fucking organization doing it all. That is a problem.” Then, he sighs and takes a few more steps to the side, offering indifference from this point on “There’s nothing I can say that would make you calm down.” he says one final time “Just make sure not to injure yourselves in the process, alright?” His words seemed to be enough to make the small group cease trying to interact, as the convoy had begun moving again. Though the one human who had called him a traitor gets one final parting shot at the precinct “Where the hell did you get an egg in this planet…” Santos says with a raised eyebrow as the projectile impacts the front door.
Keya stands by a large sign, the same one that welcomes you into Blackriver on one side and sees you out at the other, the official limit of the town. Her arms behind her back, her attention directly towards the front of the convoy as they march. Something gains the whole of her attention, the car in the front. Someone draws her focus, a human with a megaphone on top of the car. The man shouts words of encouragement at the people behind him with the megaphone before turning to his holopad, then he bends over downwards to discuss something with the driver.
She simply remains there, waiting for the convoy to pass. But instead of moving on out of the city, here the convoy stops completely. Keya observes as the further end of the convoy starts to slowly compact upon itself, and her ears pick up something “Alright everyone, start getting ready, next town over is more than a claw away, make sure you’ve left nothing behind” the words were not meant for her, nor for anyone too far. They come from the same man she had seen standing on top of the car, but he had now climbed down and was talking with a group of multiple species.
It is clear they have some degree of leadership, though the convoy does not stop cleanly nor does it begin to organize with alacrity they do respond to the group’s organization. So Keya keeps her focus on them as they point, wave and talk between themselves, others and devices. But at least one of them has noticed her attention, a gangly and light-skinned human with fire-red hair, the man that was atop the car. He starts walking in her direction, before turning around for one final set of commands as he walks backwards “And make sure the guys at the back got all the crap! We’re here to be heard, not to trash the city!” he says before turning back again to head towards her. A venlil with pure white fur erupts from inside the car he was riding, quickly dashing to his side as they notice where he was going.
In a few moments both have come up to her, the human looking down at her with the venlil bristles at his side “Saw anything interesting, fireman?”
“What are you doing here?”
“What? Isn’t it obvious?!” it was the venlil that roared a response “You saw all of it! You know what they’ve done to us! What they’ve done to everyone! And you still work for those brahking monsters! It’s like you’re thankful they made you a cripple!”
The human puts a hand on the venlil’s shoulder, calming her demeanor just a little bit “We’re here because honestly, we’re all too tired of being fucking ignored is what. So what the fuck are you gonna do?!”
“I have put the wrong emphasis” Keya says with her lack of tone. She can see the human shiver just a little bit “My task is to ensure the safety of this town. Your convoy is a danger. We have eight field-capable officers, we cannot ensure the safety of the residents against a group like yours. People will take actions for reasons, you have broadcast your reasons clearly. You have chosen this place for a reason which I cannot ascertain.”
She makes sure her ears are trained towards both the human and the venlil, an action which causes the venlil to cower behind her partner “We do not house government agencies. This is a farming town of little note. The local precinct is a simple precinct, we have no regulatory or command authority. The town population is approximately double that of the number of your convoy. We have no individuals of appreciable social or political reach. There is nothing in Blackriver of interest to people attempting to change government policy, nor have there been actions taken here that I can identify as being cause for retaliatory actions within the context of your message.”
“I must ensure this does not happen again and the only way of doing so is minimizing our attractivity as targets. A logical assumption of your choice of quarry would be a town with the presence of politicians, a large city with constant news coverage, cities housing important government agencies or those containing the Regional Firebases”
“So I ask again. What are you doing here?”
The two remain silent for a few seconds, before the human turns around with a mouth noise “Whatever, I don’t need to explain myself to someone that won’t listen. Come on!” he starts to stalk back towards the car, but stops once he notices his venlil companion wasn’t moving.
The snow-white venlil has their focus on Keya, who offers a simple low forward swipe of her tail, a sign to proceed. Still, the venlil seems frozen in place until the human comes back and grabs hold of their paw with a gentle touch. At which point both finally return to the convoy.
Keya remains at the side of the road, watching as the convoy readies itself again to leave. People get back inside cars, they hop on the back of trucks and load themselves into buses. She continues to watch as the convoy takes its time riding out, making their way out of the town.
Once it is finally gone, multiple footsteps sound behind her. When she turns around she meets her officers, having returned from their assigned positions “They have left. I expect your reports of what happened in each sector by the end of your shifts” she states plainly, before looking at Santos “They did not appear to have a specific reason for targeting Blackriver.” The question remains unspoken.
The human officer just shrugs “Sometimes, you don’t know what you’re doing. We’re just a little town, I doubt they even know what exactly they’re angry about.” He looks at the tail end of the convoy as it leaves “Town was probably just a place they felt safe going to.”
“D-do you think we might get more like that” Lunek says, at the back of the group.
“Who knows…” Santos sighs “But if human history applies anywhere here… This is just a sign of worse things to come”
[ [FIRST] [NEXT>]
And thus the omen passes by. Feelings, emotions of all sorts, without a plan or a reason other than just their own rage and distress.
Did any of these even know what they were doing? And how much worse can it be when they do?

"Supermarket massiv propost fuq San Ġwann ODZ
PA mgħarrqa b’oġġezzjonijiet għal pjanta ta’ 7,000 metru kwadru biswit San Mikiel
Aġġornata fis-1.20pm bil-kummenti tal-PM
L-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar bħalissa qed tikkunsidra applikazzjoni għal supermarket ġdid enormi fuq art ODZ f’San Ġwann, biswit skola privata.
Il-proposta hi li jinbena supermarket b’żewġ sulari b’parkeġġ taħt l-art fuq sit ta’ 7,000 metru kwadru fi Triq tal-Balal u Triq tal-Prepostu, f’żona ta’ San Ġwann magħrufa bħala Ta’ Ġnien Tut.
Is-sit jinsab ftit aktar minn 250 metru minn supermarket ieħor, filwaqt li għadha qed tiġi pproċessata applikazzjoni għal supermarket u ħanut DIY f’sit direttament fuq it-triq.
Il-PA ġiet mgħarrqa b’oġġezzjonijiet għall-iżvilupp propost, partikolarment minħabba li s-sit inkwistjoni huwa art agrikola barra miż-żona tal-iżvilupp u jinsab qrib skola, Fondazzjoni San Mikiel għall-Edukazzjoni.
Il-Prim Ministru Robert Abela qal lil Times of Malta li jemmen li l-proposta hija “non-starter” peress li tmur kontra l-viżjoni usa’ tal-gvern Laburista.
Is-Sindku ta’ San Ġwann Trevor Fenech qal is-Sibt li kellu l-intenzjoni li jressaq oġġezzjoni għall-proposta.
L-applikant qed jipproponi li jitwaqqa’ strutturi eżistenti, inklużi strutturi illegali mibnija fuq il-post, u jiżviluppa s-sit f’supermarket b’parkeġġ fil-kantina, ħwienet fil-livelli tal-pjan terran u tal-ewwel sular u uffiċċji relatati.
Skont il-formola tal-applikazzjoni pubblika mressqa mill-periti JG Periti, Jason Pace huwa l-uniku sid tas-sit inkwistjoni.
Madankollu, il-websajt tal-PA telenka lill-iżviluppatur bħala Meleney Gauci.
It-teħid ta’ art agrikola ODZ, aħseb u ara art li tkun fuq l-għatba ta’ skola u żona ekoloġika protetta, żgur mhix meħtieġa jew leġittima.
L-erja totali tas-sit hija ta’ madwar 12,000 metru kwadru.
Iż-żona proposta għall-proġett tmiss ukoll ma’ Wied Għomor u Wied il-Kbir, żoni protetti ta’ importanza ekoloġika u siti ta’ importanza xjentifika.
Dawk li joġġezzjonaw jinsistu li l-applikazzjoni tmur kontra l-politika rurali tal-PA u l-għanijiet tal-Pjan Strateġiku għall-Ambjent u l-Iżvilupp, li jillimita l-użu tal-art għal użi li mhumiex meħtieġa jew leġittimi fiż-żoni rurali.
“San Ġwann diġà għandu bosta supermarkets u t-teħid ta’ art agrikola ODZ, aħseb u ara art li tkun fuq l-għatba ta’ skola u żona ekoloġika protetta, ċertament mhix meħtieġa jew leġittima,” kitbu l-oġġezzjonaturi fir-rappreżentazzjoni tagħhom ippreżentata ma’ il-PA.
San Mikiel huwa dar għal kważi 500 tifel u tifla u aktar minn 100 edukatur. F’oġġezzjoni, l-assistent kap anzjan tal-iskola, Carina Gerada Sinnott, qalet li, bħala parti mill-edukazzjoni kontinwa tagħhom u permezz ta’ inizjattivi bħall-EkoSkola, it-tfal huma mgħallma jirrispettaw u jieħdu ħsieb l-ambjent u jipproteġuh għall-ġenerazzjonijiet futuri.
“Din l-applikazzjoni tgħaddi minn dan is-sens ta’ responsabbiltà biex tipproteġi l-pajsaġġ naturali li dejjem qed jonqos li jgawdi minnu pajjiżna. Jipprova jagħti prijorità lill-bini ta’ supermarket fuq is-saħħa u l-benessri tat-tfal tagħna u l-protezzjoni tal-ambjent naturali limitat tagħna,” kitbet.
Oġġezzjonanti nnutaw li hemm applikazzjoni pendenti għall-iżvilupp ta’ supermarket u ħanut DIY f’sit direttament faċċata tas-sit, b’parkeġġ taħt l-art.
Din l-applikazzjoni tressqet minn Joe Cassar f’isem JDG Holdings Ltd.
L-Awtorità tal-Ambjent u r-Riżorsi kienet oġġezzjonat għal dan l-iżvilupp propost, li, qalet, qajjem tħassib ambjentali sinifikanti u kien meqjus oġġezzjonabbli mil-lat ambjentali.
“L-ERA hija mħassba wkoll dwar it-tixrid, il-proliferazzjoni u l-intensifikazzjoni ulterjuri ta’ interventi ta’ tip urban f’żona ODZ u l-formalizzazzjoni ulterjuri tas-sit, peress li dan jista’ jservi inopportunament bħala predispożizzjoni għal proposti oħra simili fi ħdan iż-żona kif ukoll fuq fuq skala nazzjonali,” qal.
Pace huwa involut ukoll f’żewġ offerti oħra biex jinbnew supermarkets fuq art ODZ. Wieħed jinsab fuq 5,500 metru kwadru ta’ art ‘il barra mill-bypass ta’ Birkirkara u ieħor fi Triq Il-Kummerċ, Triq Is-Snajja u l-bypass tal-Imrieħel.
Sindku: PM jappoġġjani fi proġett oppost
Is-Sindku ta’ San Ġwann Trevor Fenech qal is-Sibt li se jkun qed iressaq oġġezzjoni għall-proġett.
“Din l-applikazzjoni qatt ma kellha tiġi ppreżentata,” qal hekk kif wiegħed li jopponi l-proġett.
Fenech qal li kien tkellem mal-Prim Ministru Robert Abela dwar il-proġett, u qal li huwa ottimist peress li Abela ""kien ċar dwaru u l-Partit Laburista jappoġġaw il-kawża tagħna.""
Abela kkonferma dan, u qal lil Times of Malta li ma jridx li l-proġett imur ‘il quddiem u li l-Partit Laburista se jkun qed jappoġġja lill-kunsill biex joġġezzjona għalih.

"SanĠwann ODZ 擬建大型超市
巴勒斯坦權力機構對聖邁克爾教堂旁 7,000 平方米的計劃提出了強烈反對
下午 1.20 更新了 PM 的評論
規劃當局目前正在考慮申請在 San Ġwann ODZ 土地上新建一家大型超市,毗鄰一所私立學校。
該提案是在 Triq tal-Balal 和 Triq tal-Prepostu 的一塊 7,000 平方米的場地上建造一座帶有地下停車場的兩層超市,該場地位於 San Ġwann 的 Ta’Ġnien Tut 地區。
該地點距離另一家超市僅250多米,而在馬路對面的地點開設超市和DIY商店的申請仍在處理中。
巴勒斯坦權力機構對擬議開發項目的反對意見如潮水般湧來,特別是因為該地點是開發區外的農田,並且靠近一所學校——聖邁克爾教育基金會。
總理羅伯特·阿貝拉告訴《馬耳他時報》,他認為該提案“行不通”,因為它違背了工黨政府的更廣泛願景。
San Ġwann 市長 Trevor Fenech 週六表示,他打算對該提案提出反對。
申請人建議拆除現有構築物,包括在地盤上搭建的違章構築物,並將該地塊開發為超市,設有地下停車場、地面和一樓的商店以及相關辦公室。
根據建築師 JG Periti 提交的公開申請表,傑森佩斯 (Jason Pace) 是該場地的唯一所有者。
然而,PA 網站將開發商列為 Meleney Gauci。
佔用農業ODZ土地,更不用說學校門口和生態保護區的土地,當然是沒有必要或合法的
該場地總面積約12,000平方公尺。
該計畫擬議的區域也毗鄰 Wied Għomor 和 Wied il-Kbir,這兩個保護區具有重要的生態意義和重要的科學意義。
反對者堅持認為,該申請違反了巴勒斯坦權力機構的農村政策和環境與發展戰略計劃的目標,該計劃限制了農村地區不必要或合法用途的土地佔用。
反對者在向他們提交的陳述中寫道:「SanĠwann 已經擁有眾多超市,佔用農業 ODZ 土地,更不用說學校門口和生態保護區的土地,肯定是沒有必要或合法的。」公共廣播電台。
聖邁克爾是近 500 名兒童和 100 多名教育工作者的家。學校高級助理校長卡琳娜·杰拉達·辛諾特(Carina Gerada Sinnott) 表示反對,她表示,作為持續教育的一部分,透過EkoSkola 等舉措,孩子們被教導要尊重和愛護環境,並為子孫後代保護環境。
「這個申請粗暴地踐踏了保護我國日益減少的自然景觀的責任感。它試圖將超市的建設置於我們孩子的健康和福祉以及保護我們有限的自然環境之上,」她寫道。
反對者指出,有一項正在申請中,要求在該地點正對面的地點開發一家超市和一家 DIY 商店,並設有地下停車場。
該申請由 Joe Cassar 代表 JDG Holdings Ltd 提交。
環境和資源管理局反對這項擬議的開發項目,稱這引起了重大的環境問題,從環境角度來看是令人反感的。
「ERA 也擔心 ODZ 區域內城市類型乾預措施的進一步蔓延、擴散和強化以及該地點的進一步正規化,因為這可能不合時宜地成為該地區內以及全國範圍內,」它說。
佩斯還參與了另外兩項在 ODZ 土地上建造超市的投標。其中一處位於 Birkirkara 繞道旁,佔地 5,500 平方米,另一處位於 Triq Il-Kummerċ、Triq Is-Snajja 和 Mrieħel 繞道上。
市長:總理支持我反對項目
San Ġwann 市長 Trevor Fenech 週六表示,他將對該項目提出反對意見。
「這個申請根本不應該提交,」他在承諾反對該計畫時說道。
費內奇表示,他已與總理羅伯特·阿貝拉就該項目進行了交談,並表示他對此感到樂觀,因為阿貝拉「明確表示他和工黨支持我們的事業」。
阿貝拉證實了這一點,他告訴《馬耳他時報》,他不希望該項目繼續進行,工黨將支持委員會反對該項目。

"Massive supermarket proposed on San Ġwann ODZ
PA inundated with objections to 7,000 square metre plans next to St Michael's
Updated 1.20pm with PM's comments
The Planning Authority is currently considering an application for a massive new supermarket on ODZ land in San Ġwann, adjacent to a private school.
The proposal is to build a two-storey supermarket with underground parking on a 7,000- square-metre site on Triq tal-Balal and Triq tal-Prepostu, in an area of San Ġwann known as Ta’ Ġnien Tut.
The site is just over 250 metres from another supermarket, while an application for a supermarket and a DIY store on a site directly across the road is still being processed.
The PA has been inundated with objections to the proposed development, particularly because the site in question is agricultural land outside the development zone and is close to a school, St Michael Foundation for Education.
Prime Minister Robert Abela told Times of Malta that he believes the proposal is a ""non-starter"" as it goes against the Labour government's broader vision.
San Ġwann Mayor Trevor Fenech said on Saturday that he intended to file an objection to the proposal.
The applicant is proposing to demolish existing structures, including illegal structures built on site, and develop the site in a supermarket with basement parking, stores at the ground and first floor levels and related offices.
According to the public application form submitted by architects JG Periti, Jason Pace is the sole owner of the site in question.
However, the PA website lists the developer as being Meleney Gauci.
The take-up of agricultural ODZ land, let alone land that is on the doorstep of a school and a protected ecological area, is certainly not necessary or legitimate
The total area of the site is around 12,000 square metres.
The area proposed for the project also abuts Wied Għomor and Wied il-Kbir, protected areas of ecological importance and sites of scientific importance.
Objectors insist that the application runs contrary to the PA’s rural policy and objectives of the Strategic Plan for Environment and Development, which limits land take-up for uses which are not necessary or legitimate in rural areas.
“San Ġwann already has numerous supermarkets and the take-up of agricultural ODZ land, let alone land that is on the doorstep of a school and a protected ecological area, is certainly not necessary or legitimate,” the objectors wrote in their representation filed with the PA.
St Michael is home to almost 500 children and over 100 educators. In an objection, the school’s senior assistant head, Carina Gerada Sinnott, said that, as part of their ongoing education and through initiatives like EkoSkola, the children are taught to respect and care for the environment and to protect it for future generations.
“This application runs roughshod over this sense of responsibility to protect the increasingly diminishing natural landscape that our country enjoys. It attempts to prioritise the construction of a supermarket over the health and well-being of our children and the protection of our limited natural environment,” she wrote.
Objectors noted that there is a pending application for the development of a supermarket and a DIY store on a site directly opposite the site, with underground parking.
This application was filed by Joe Cassar on behalf of JDG Holdings Ltd.
The Environment and Resources Authority had objected to this proposed development, which, it said, raised significant environmental concerns and was considered objectionable from an environmental point of view.
“The ERA is also concerned about the further sprawl, proliferation and intensification of urban type interventions within an area ODZ and the further formalisation of the site, since this may inopportunely serve as a predisposition for other similar proposals within the area as well as on a national scale,” it said.
Pace is also involved in another two bids to build supermarkets on ODZ land. One is on 5,500 square metres of land off the Birkirkara bypass and another on Triq Il-Kummerċ, Triq Is-Snajja and the Mrieħel bypass.
Mayor: PM backs me in opposing project
San Ġwann Mayor Trevor Fenech said on Saturday that he would be filing an objection to the project.
""This application should never have been filed,"" he said as he pledged to oppose the project.
Fenech said he had spoken to Prime Minister Robert Abela about the project, and said he was optimistic as Abela ""was clear about him and the Labour Party backing our cause.""
Abela confirmed that, telling Times of Malta that he did not want the project to go ahead and that the Labour Party would be backing the council in objecting to it.

"सैन इवान ओडीज़ेड पर विशाल सुपरमार्केट प्रस्तावित
पीए में सेंट माइकल के बगल में 7,000 वर्ग मीटर की योजना पर आपत्तियों की बाढ़ आ गई
पीएम की टिप्पणियों के साथ दोपहर 1.20 बजे अपडेट किया गया
योजना प्राधिकरण वर्तमान में एक निजी स्कूल के निकट, सैन इवान में ओडीजेड भूमि पर एक विशाल नए सुपरमार्केट के लिए एक आवेदन पर विचार कर रहा है।
यह प्रस्ताव सैन इवान के ता' इनियन टुट नामक क्षेत्र में त्रिक ताल-बलाल और त्रिक ताल-प्रीपोस्टु पर 7,000 वर्ग मीटर की साइट पर भूमिगत पार्किंग के साथ दो मंजिला सुपरमार्केट बनाने का है।
यह साइट दूसरे सुपरमार्केट से केवल 250 मीटर की दूरी पर है, जबकि सड़क के ठीक सामने एक साइट पर एक सुपरमार्केट और एक DIY स्टोर के लिए आवेदन अभी भी संसाधित किया जा रहा है।
पीए में प्रस्तावित विकास पर आपत्तियों की बाढ़ आ गई है, खासकर इसलिए क्योंकि विचाराधीन स्थल विकास क्षेत्र के बाहर कृषि भूमि है और एक स्कूल, सेंट माइकल फाउंडेशन फॉर एजुकेशन के करीब है।
प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला ने टाइम्स ऑफ माल्टा को बताया कि उनका मानना ​​है कि यह प्रस्ताव ""नॉन-स्टार्टर"" है क्योंकि यह लेबर सरकार के व्यापक दृष्टिकोण के खिलाफ है।
सैन इवान के मेयर ट्रेवर फेनेच ने शनिवार को कहा कि उनका इरादा प्रस्ताव पर आपत्ति दर्ज कराने का है।
आवेदक साइट पर बनी अवैध संरचनाओं सहित मौजूदा संरचनाओं को ध्वस्त करने और बेसमेंट पार्किंग, भूतल और पहली मंजिल के स्तर पर स्टोर और संबंधित कार्यालयों के साथ एक सुपरमार्केट में साइट विकसित करने का प्रस्ताव कर रहा है।
आर्किटेक्ट जेजी पेरिटी द्वारा प्रस्तुत सार्वजनिक आवेदन पत्र के अनुसार, जेसन पेस विचाराधीन साइट का एकमात्र मालिक है।
हालाँकि, पीए वेबसाइट डेवलपर को मेलेनी गौसी के रूप में सूचीबद्ध करती है।
कृषि ओडीजेड भूमि का अधिग्रहण, स्कूल और संरक्षित पारिस्थितिक क्षेत्र के दरवाजे पर मौजूद भूमि को छोड़ दें, निश्चित रूप से आवश्यक या वैध नहीं है
साइट का कुल क्षेत्रफल लगभग 12,000 वर्ग मीटर है।
परियोजना के लिए प्रस्तावित क्षेत्र विद गोमोर और विद इल-कबीर, पारिस्थितिक महत्व के संरक्षित क्षेत्रों और वैज्ञानिक महत्व के स्थलों से भी सटा हुआ है।
आपत्तिकर्ता इस बात पर जोर देते हैं कि आवेदन पीए की ग्रामीण नीति और पर्यावरण और विकास के लिए रणनीतिक योजना के उद्देश्यों के विपरीत चलता है, जो ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में उन उपयोगों के लिए भूमि अधिग्रहण को सीमित करता है जो आवश्यक या वैध नहीं हैं।
आपत्तिकर्ताओं ने अपने अभ्यावेदन में लिखा, ""सैन इवान में पहले से ही कई सुपरमार्केट हैं और कृषि ओडीजेड भूमि का अधिग्रहण, एक स्कूल और एक संरक्षित पारिस्थितिक क्षेत्र के दरवाजे पर मौजूद भूमि को छोड़ दें, निश्चित रूप से आवश्यक या वैध नहीं है।"" पा।
सेंट माइकल लगभग 500 बच्चों और 100 से अधिक शिक्षकों का घर है। एक आपत्ति में, स्कूल की वरिष्ठ सहायक प्रमुख, कैरिना गेराडा सिनोट ने कहा कि, उनकी चल रही शिक्षा के हिस्से के रूप में और एकोस्कोला जैसी पहल के माध्यम से, बच्चों को पर्यावरण का सम्मान और देखभाल करना और भविष्य की पीढ़ियों के लिए इसकी रक्षा करना सिखाया जाता है।
“यह एप्लिकेशन हमारे देश में तेजी से घटते प्राकृतिक परिदृश्य की रक्षा करने की ज़िम्मेदारी की इस भावना का खंडन करता है। यह हमारे बच्चों के स्वास्थ्य और कल्याण और हमारे सीमित प्राकृतिक पर्यावरण की सुरक्षा पर एक सुपरमार्केट के निर्माण को प्राथमिकता देने का प्रयास करता है, ”उसने लिखा।
आपत्तिकर्ताओं ने कहा कि भूमिगत पार्किंग के साथ साइट के ठीक सामने एक साइट पर एक सुपरमार्केट और एक DIY स्टोर के विकास के लिए एक आवेदन लंबित है।
यह आवेदन जेडीजी होल्डिंग्स लिमिटेड की ओर से जो कैसर द्वारा दायर किया गया था।
पर्यावरण और संसाधन प्राधिकरण ने इस प्रस्तावित विकास पर आपत्ति जताई थी, जिसमें कहा गया था कि इसने महत्वपूर्ण पर्यावरणीय चिंताओं को उठाया था और इसे पर्यावरण के दृष्टिकोण से आपत्तिजनक माना गया था।
""ईआरए एक क्षेत्र ओडीजेड के भीतर शहरी प्रकार के हस्तक्षेपों के आगे फैलाव, प्रसार और गहनता और साइट के आगे औपचारिकीकरण के बारे में भी चिंतित है, क्योंकि यह क्षेत्र के साथ-साथ अन्य समान प्रस्तावों के लिए अनुचित रूप से एक पूर्वाग्रह के रूप में काम कर सकता है। राष्ट्रीय स्तर, “यह कहा।

मेयर: प्रोजेक्ट के विरोध में पीएम ने मेरा समर्थन किया
सैन इवान के मेयर ट्रेवर फेनेच ने शनिवार को कहा कि वह इस परियोजना पर आपत्ति दर्ज कराएंगे।
उन्होंने परियोजना का विरोध करने की प्रतिज्ञा करते हुए कहा, ""यह आवेदन कभी भी दायर नहीं किया जाना चाहिए था।""
फेनेच ने कहा कि उन्होंने परियोजना के बारे में प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला से बात की थी, और कहा कि वह आशावादी थे क्योंकि अबेला ""उनके और लेबर पार्टी के हमारे मुद्दे का समर्थन करने के बारे में स्पष्ट थे।""
अबेला ने टाइम्स ऑफ माल्टा को बताते हुए इसकी पुष्टि की कि वह नहीं चाहते थे कि परियोजना आगे बढ़े और लेबर पार्टी इस पर आपत्ति जताने में परिषद का समर्थन करेगी।

"Proponen un gran supermercado en San Ġwann ODZ
Autoridad Palestina inundada de objeciones a los planes de 7.000 metros cuadrados junto a St Michael's
Actualizado a las 13.20 con los comentarios del PM.
Actualmente, la Autoridad de Planificación está considerando una solicitud para un nuevo supermercado enorme en un terreno de ODZ en San Ġwann, al lado de una escuela privada.
La propuesta consiste en construir un supermercado de dos plantas con aparcamiento subterráneo en un terreno de 7.000 metros cuadrados en Triq tal-Balal y Triq tal-Prepostu, en una zona de San Ġwann conocida como Ta’ Ġnien Tut.
El solar se encuentra a poco más de 250 metros de otro supermercado, mientras que todavía se está tramitando una solicitud para un supermercado y una tienda de bricolaje en un solar justo enfrente.
La Autoridad Palestina se ha visto inundada de objeciones al desarrollo propuesto, particularmente porque el sitio en cuestión es un terreno agrícola fuera de la zona de desarrollo y está cerca de una escuela, la Fundación para la Educación St Michael.
El primer ministro Robert Abela dijo al Times of Malta que cree que la propuesta ""no tiene sentido"", ya que va en contra de la visión más amplia del gobierno laborista.
El alcalde de San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, dijo el sábado que tenía intención de presentar una objeción a la propuesta.
El solicitante propone demoler las estructuras existentes, incluidas las estructuras ilegales construidas en el lugar, y desarrollar el sitio en un supermercado con estacionamiento en el sótano, tiendas en los niveles de la planta baja y del primer piso y oficinas relacionadas.
Según el formulario de solicitud pública presentado por los arquitectos JG Periti, Jason Pace es el único propietario del sitio en cuestión.
Sin embargo, el sitio web de PA enumera al desarrollador como Meleney Gauci.
La ocupación de tierras agrícolas de ODZ, y mucho menos de tierras que se encuentran a las puertas de una escuela y de un área ecológica protegida, ciertamente no es necesaria ni legítima.
La superficie total del sitio es de unos 12.000 metros cuadrados.
El área propuesta para el proyecto también linda con Wied Għomor y Wied il-Kbir, áreas protegidas de importancia ecológica y sitios de importancia científica.
Los objetores insisten en que la aplicación va en contra de la política rural de la AP y los objetivos del Plan Estratégico para el Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo, que limita la ocupación de tierras para usos que no son necesarios o legítimos en las zonas rurales.
""San Ġwann ya cuenta con numerosos supermercados y la ocupación de tierras agrícolas de ODZ, y mucho menos de tierras que se encuentran a las puertas de una escuela y de un área ecológica protegida, no es ciertamente necesaria ni legítima"", escribieron los objetores en su reclamación presentada ante el PA.
St Michael es el hogar de casi 500 niños y más de 100 educadores. En una objeción, la subdirectora principal de la escuela, Carina Gerada Sinnott, dijo que, como parte de su educación continua y a través de iniciativas como EkoSkola, a los niños se les enseña a respetar y cuidar el medio ambiente y a protegerlo para las generaciones futuras.
“Esta solicitud pasa por alto este sentido de responsabilidad de proteger el paisaje natural cada vez más disminuido del que disfruta nuestro país. Intenta priorizar la construcción de un supermercado por encima de la salud y el bienestar de nuestros niños y la protección de nuestro limitado entorno natural”, escribió.
Los objetores señalaron que hay una solicitud pendiente para el desarrollo de un supermercado y una tienda de bricolaje en un terreno justo enfrente del sitio, con estacionamiento subterráneo.
Esta solicitud fue presentada por Joe Cassar en nombre de JDG Holdings Ltd.
La Autoridad de Medio Ambiente y Recursos se había opuesto a esta propuesta de desarrollo, que, según dijo, planteaba importantes preocupaciones ambientales y se consideraba objetable desde un punto de vista ambiental.
“La ERA también está preocupada por la mayor expansión, proliferación e intensificación de las intervenciones de tipo urbano dentro de un área ODZ y la mayor formalización del sitio, ya que esto puede servir inoportunamente como una predisposición para otras propuestas similares dentro del área, así como a nivel mundial. escala nacional”, afirmó.
Pace también participa en otras dos ofertas para construir supermercados en terrenos de ODZ. Uno está en un terreno de 5.500 metros cuadrados frente a la circunvalación de Birkirkara y otro en Triq Il-Kummerċ, Triq Is-Snajja y la circunvalación de Mrieħel.
Alcalde: PM me respalda en proyecto opuesto
El alcalde de San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, dijo el sábado que presentaría una objeción al proyecto.
""Esta solicitud nunca debería haberse presentado"", dijo mientras se comprometía a oponerse al proyecto.
Fenech dijo que había hablado con el primer ministro Robert Abela sobre el proyecto y dijo que era optimista porque Abela ""fue claro acerca de que él y el Partido Laborista respaldarían nuestra causa"".
Abela lo confirmó y le dijo al Times of Malta que no quería que el proyecto siguiera adelante y que el Partido Laborista respaldaría al consejo para oponerse al mismo.

"Un immense supermarché proposé sur San Ġwann ODZ
L'AP inondée d'objections aux projets de 7 000 mètres carrés à côté de St Michael's
Mis à jour à 13h20 avec les commentaires du PM
L'autorité de planification examine actuellement une demande pour un nouveau supermarché de grande envergure sur le terrain de l'ODZ à San Ġwann, à côté d'une école privée.
Le projet consiste à construire un supermarché à deux étages avec un parking souterrain sur un terrain de 7 000 mètres carrés à Triq tal-Balal et Triq tal-Prepostu, dans une zone de San Ġwann connue sous le nom de Ta' Ġnien Tut.
Le terrain se trouve à un peu plus de 250 mètres d'un autre supermarché, tandis qu'une demande d'ouverture d'un supermarché et d'un magasin de bricolage sur un terrain situé juste en face est toujours en cours de traitement.
L'AP a été inondée d'objections au projet de développement proposé, notamment parce que le site en question est un terrain agricole en dehors de la zone de développement et est proche d'une école, la St Michael Foundation for Education.
Le Premier ministre Robert Abela a déclaré au Times of Malta qu'il estime que la proposition est « un échec » car elle va à l'encontre de la vision plus large du gouvernement travailliste.
Le maire de San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, a déclaré samedi qu'il avait l'intention de déposer une objection à la proposition.
Le demandeur propose de démolir les structures existantes, y compris les structures illégales construites sur place, et d'aménager le site en un supermarché avec un parking en sous-sol, des magasins au rez-de-chaussée et au premier étage et des bureaux connexes.
Selon le formulaire de candidature publique soumis par les architectes JG Periti, Jason Pace est l'unique propriétaire du site en question.
Cependant, le site Web de l'AP indique que le développeur est Meleney Gauci.
L’appropriation des terres agricoles de l’ODZ, sans parler des terres situées aux portes d’une école et d’une zone écologique protégée, n’est certainement ni nécessaire ni légitime.
La superficie totale du site est d'environ 12 000 mètres carrés.
La zone proposée pour le projet jouxte également Wied Għomor et Wied il-Kbir, des zones protégées d'importance écologique et des sites d'importance scientifique.
Les opposants insistent sur le fait que la demande va à l’encontre de la politique rurale de l’Autorité palestinienne et des objectifs du Plan stratégique pour l’environnement et le développement, qui limite l’occupation des terres à des usages qui ne sont pas nécessaires ou légitimes dans les zones rurales.
""San Ġwann compte déjà de nombreux supermarchés et l'appropriation des terres agricoles de l'ODZ, sans parler des terres situées aux portes d'une école et d'une zone écologique protégée, n'est certainement ni nécessaire ni légitime"", ont écrit les opposants dans leur réclamation déposée auprès de l'AP.
St Michael abrite près de 500 enfants et plus de 100 éducateurs. Dans une objection, la directrice adjointe principale de l'école, Carina Gerada Sinnott, a déclaré que, dans le cadre de leur éducation continue et grâce à des initiatives comme EkoSkola, les enfants apprennent à respecter et à prendre soin de l'environnement et à le protéger pour les générations futures.
« Cette candidature bafoue ce sens des responsabilités dans la protection du paysage naturel de plus en plus menacé dont bénéficie notre pays. Il tente de donner la priorité à la construction d’un supermarché plutôt qu’à la santé et au bien-être de nos enfants et à la protection de notre environnement naturel limité », a-t-elle écrit.
Les opposants notent qu'une demande est en cours pour l'aménagement d'un supermarché et d'un magasin de bricolage sur un terrain situé juste en face du site, avec un parking souterrain.
Cette demande a été déposée par Joe Cassar au nom de JDG Holdings Ltd.
L'Autorité de l'environnement et des ressources s'était opposée à ce projet de développement, qui, selon elle, soulevait d'importantes préoccupations environnementales et était considéré comme répréhensible d'un point de vue environnemental.
« L'ERA est également préoccupée par la poursuite de l'étalement, la prolifération et l'intensification des interventions de type urbain au sein d'une zone ODZ et par la poursuite de la formalisation du site, car cela pourrait inopportunement servir de prédisposition à d'autres propositions similaires dans la zone ainsi que sur un à l’échelle nationale », a-t-il déclaré.
Pace est également impliqué dans deux autres appels d'offres pour construire des supermarchés sur les terrains de l'ODZ. L'un se trouve sur un terrain de 5 500 mètres carrés au large du contournement de Birkirkara et un autre sur Triq Il-Kummerċ, Triq Is-Snajja et le contournement de Mrieħel.
Maire: le PM me soutient dans mon opposition au projet
Le maire de San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, a déclaré samedi qu'il déposerait une objection au projet.
""Cette demande n'aurait jamais dû être déposée"", a-t-il déclaré en s'engageant à s'opposer au projet.
Fenech a déclaré qu'il avait parlé du projet au Premier ministre Robert Abela et s'est dit optimiste car Abela ""a été clair sur le fait que lui et le Parti travailliste soutenaient notre cause"".
Abela a confirmé cela, déclarant au Times of Malta qu'il ne voulait pas que le projet se poursuive et que le Parti travailliste soutiendrait le conseil en s'y opposant.

"Riesiger Supermarkt im San Ġwann ODZ geplant
PA wird mit Einwänden gegen 7.000-Quadratmeter-Pläne neben St. Michael's überschwemmt
Aktualisiert um 13:20 Uhr mit Kommentaren der PM
Die Planungsbehörde prüft derzeit einen Antrag für einen riesigen neuen Supermarkt auf dem ODZ-Gelände in San Ġwann, angrenzend an eine Privatschule.
Der Vorschlag sieht den Bau eines zweistöckigen Supermarkts mit Tiefgarage auf einem 7.000 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück in Triq tal-Balal und Triq tal-Prepostu in einem als Ta’ Ġnien Tut bekannten Viertel von San Ġwann vor.
Das Grundstück liegt etwas mehr als 250 Meter von einem weiteren Supermarkt entfernt, während ein Antrag für einen Supermarkt und einen Baumarkt auf einem Grundstück direkt gegenüber noch in Bearbeitung ist.
Die PA wurde mit Einwänden gegen die geplante Entwicklung überschwemmt, insbesondere weil es sich bei dem betreffenden Gelände um landwirtschaftliche Flächen außerhalb der Entwicklungszone handelt und in der Nähe einer Schule, der St Michael Foundation for Education, liegt.
Premierminister Robert Abela erklärte gegenüber der Times of Malta, dass er den Vorschlag für einen „Nichtstarter“ halte, da er der umfassenderen Vision der Labour-Regierung zuwiderlaufe.
Der Bürgermeister von San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, sagte am Samstag, dass er beabsichtige, Einspruch gegen den Vorschlag einzulegen.
Der Antragsteller schlägt vor, bestehende Gebäude, einschließlich illegaler Gebäude, die auf dem Gelände errichtet wurden, abzureißen und das Gelände in einen Supermarkt mit Tiefgaragenparkplätzen, Geschäften im Erdgeschoss und im ersten Stock sowie zugehörigen Büros umzuwandeln.
Laut dem von den Architekten JG Periti eingereichten öffentlichen Bewerbungsformular ist Jason Pace der alleinige Eigentümer des betreffenden Grundstücks.
Auf der PA-Website wird der Entwickler jedoch als Meleney Gauci aufgeführt.
Die Inanspruchnahme landwirtschaftlicher ODZ-Flächen, ganz zu schweigen von Flächen, die vor der Haustür einer Schule und eines Naturschutzgebiets liegen, ist sicherlich nicht notwendig oder legitim
Die Gesamtfläche des Geländes beträgt rund 12.000 Quadratmeter.
Das für das Projekt vorgeschlagene Gebiet grenzt auch an Wied Għomor und Wied il-Kbir, Schutzgebiete von ökologischer Bedeutung und Stätten von wissenschaftlicher Bedeutung.
Die Einwände bestehen darauf, dass der Antrag im Widerspruch zur ländlichen Politik der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde und den Zielen des Strategischen Plans für Umwelt und Entwicklung steht, der die Landnutzung für Nutzungen begrenzt, die in ländlichen Gebieten nicht notwendig oder legitim sind.
„In San Ġwann gibt es bereits zahlreiche Supermärkte und die Inanspruchnahme landwirtschaftlicher ODZ-Flächen, ganz zu schweigen von Flächen, die vor der Haustür einer Schule und eines geschützten ökologischen Gebiets liegen, ist sicherlich nicht notwendig oder legitim“, schrieben die Einspruchsführer in ihrer bei eingereichten Stellungnahme die PA.
St. Michael ist die Heimat von fast 500 Kindern und über 100 Erziehern. In einem Einspruch sagte die Oberassistentin der Schule, Carina Gerada Sinnott, dass den Kindern im Rahmen ihrer laufenden Ausbildung und durch Initiativen wie EkoSkola beigebracht werde, die Umwelt zu respektieren und zu pflegen und sie für künftige Generationen zu schützen.
„Dieser Antrag missachtet dieses Verantwortungsbewusstsein für den Schutz der immer kleiner werdenden Naturlandschaft unseres Landes. Sie versucht, dem Bau eines Supermarkts Vorrang vor der Gesundheit und dem Wohlergehen unserer Kinder und dem Schutz unserer begrenzten natürlichen Umwelt einzuräumen“, schrieb sie.
Die Einspruchsgegner wiesen darauf hin, dass ein Antrag für die Errichtung eines Supermarkts und eines Baumarkts auf einem Grundstück direkt gegenüber dem Grundstück mit Tiefgarage anhängig sei.
Dieser Antrag wurde von Joe Cassar im Namen von JDG Holdings Ltd. eingereicht.
Die Umwelt- und Ressourcenbehörde hatte gegen diese vorgeschlagene Entwicklung Einspruch erhoben, die ihrer Meinung nach erhebliche Umweltbedenken aufwirft und aus Umweltgesichtspunkten als anstößig angesehen wird.
„Die ERA ist auch besorgt über die weitere Ausbreitung, Verbreitung und Intensivierung städtebaulicher Interventionen innerhalb eines ODZ-Gebiets und die weitere Formalisierung des Standorts, da dies ungünstigerweise als Prädisposition für andere ähnliche Vorschläge innerhalb des Gebiets sowie auf einer anderen Seite dienen könnte.“ nationaler Ebene“, hieß es.
Pace ist außerdem an zwei weiteren Ausschreibungen für den Bau von Supermärkten auf dem ODZ-Gelände beteiligt. Eine davon befindet sich auf einem 5.500 Quadratmeter großen Grundstück an der Umgehungsstraße von Birkirkara und eine weitere an der Umgehungsstraße Triq Il-Kummerċ, Triq Is-Snajja und Mrieħel.
Bürgermeister: Premierminister unterstützt mich bei meinem Ablehnungsprojekt
Der Bürgermeister von San Ġwann, Trevor Fenech, sagte am Samstag, dass er Einspruch gegen das Projekt einlegen werde.
„Dieser Antrag hätte niemals eingereicht werden dürfen“, sagte er und versprach, sich dem Projekt zu widersetzen.
Fenech sagte, er habe mit Premierminister Robert Abela über das Projekt gesprochen und sagte, er sei optimistisch, da Abela „klar zum Ausdruck brachte, dass er und die Labour Party unsere Sache unterstützen“.
Abela bestätigte dies und teilte der Times of Malta mit, dass er nicht wolle, dass das Projekt umgesetzt werde und dass die Labour Party den Rat bei seinem Einspruch unterstützen werde.

"L-MUT tgħid li l-pretensjonijiet tal-ministru dwar żieda proposta ta’ €10,000 fis-salarju tal-għalliema mhumiex minni
Meta wieġeb għall-istqarrija tal-MUT il-Ministru għall-Edukazzjoni Clifton Grima saħaq li l-proposti tal-gvern jinkludu salarju inizjali ta’ €36,000, u hedded li jippubblika l-ftehim kollu propost.
Il-Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) ċaħdet pubblikament it-talbiet li għamel il-Ministru tal-Edukazzjoni Clifton Grima dwar żidiet fil-pagi tal-għalliema.
Nhar is-Sibt, l-MUT kienet qed tirreaġixxi għal artiklu ta’ ONE News, fejn Grima ħeġġeġ lill-unjin biex tinforma lill-membri tagħha bil-proposti finanzjarji tal-gvern, hekk kif stqarr li l-pakkett finanzjarju jinkludi salarju inizjali ta’ €36,000 għall-għalliema, li jirrappreżenta żieda ta’ €10,000. .
L-affermazzjonijiet tal-Ministru ta’ €10,000 żieda u salarju inizjali ta’ €36,000 għal għalliema ġodda mhumiex riflessi fil-proposti finanzjarji tal-gvern lill-MUT, qalet il-union. L-MUT ppubblikat siltiet mill-aħħar proposta tal-gvern fuq il-websajt tagħhom, li ma juru l-ebda evidenza ta’ dawn iż-żidiet allegati.
Minflok, id-dokumenti jiżvelaw żidiet proposti fit-tagħbija tat-tagħlim, telf ta’ parità bejn gradi ekwivalenti bħalissa, u arretrati tas-salarji għall-2024 eskluż l-2023.
L-MUT akkużat lill-gvern li qed jipprova jsalva wiċċ billi jiskredita lill-unjin aktar milli jaħdem lejn soluzzjoni għall-ftehim settorjali. L-union enfasizzat ir-rieda tagħha li tkompli tiġġieled għar-rikonoxximent u t-trattament ġust tal-edukaturi, peress li kkonkludiet li l-membri tagħha, ""m'għandhomx ikunu intimidati.""
Nhar il-Ġimgħa, l-MUT ħarġet ultimatum lill-gvern dwar il-ftehim settorjali li għad irid jintlaħaq qbil dwaru, hekk kif l-unjin iddikjarat ukoll tilwima kummerċjali mal-gvern.
Il-Ministru tal-Edukazzjoni jwieġeb għat-talbiet tal-MUT
Meta wieġeb għall-istqarrija tal-MUT nhar is-Sibt, il-Ministru tal-Edukazzjoni Clifton Grima saħaq li l-proposti tal-gvern jinkludu salarju inizjali ta’ €36,000. “U din hija żieda waħda biss għal kategorija waħda ta’ edukaturi,” qal Grima. Huwa nnota li l-proposti jinkludu aktar żidiet li ma jeħtieġux xogħol jew kwalifiki addizzjonali.
Grima tenna l-appell tiegħu biex l-MUT tinforma bis-sħiħ lill-membri tagħha, u żied li l-unjin m’hi qed tagħmel l-ebda referenza għall-aħħar żewġ laqgħat bejn il-gvern u l-union.
Grima hedded li jippubblika l-ftehim kollu propost jekk l-MUT ""tkompli taqsam informazzjoni selettiva li tpinġi stampa falza.""

"MUT表示部長關於教師薪資增加10,000歐元的說法並不屬實
針對 MUT 的聲明,教育部長 Clifton Grima 堅稱政府的提案確實包括 36,000 歐元的起薪,並威脅要公佈整個擬議交易
馬耳他教師工會(MUT)公開駁斥了教育部長克利夫頓·格里馬(Clifton Grima)關於教師加薪的說法。
週六,MUT 對 ONE News 的一篇文章做出了回應,其中 Grima 鼓勵工會向其成員通報政府的財務提案,他表示財務方案包括教師起薪 36,000 歐元,這意味著增加了 10,000 歐元。
工會表示,部長關於新教師加薪 10,000 歐元和起薪 36,000 歐元的主張並未反映在政府向 MUT 提出的財務提案中。 MUT 在其網站上發布了政府最新提案的摘錄,其中沒有顯示這些聲稱的增長的證據。
相反,這些文件顯示了擬議的教學負擔增加、當前同等年級之間的不平等,以及 2024 年(不包括 2023 年)的工資拖欠。
MUT 指責政府試圖透過抹黑工會來挽回面子,而不是努力解決部門協議。該聯盟強調其決心繼續爭取教育工作者的認可和公平待遇,並得出結論,其成員「不應被嚇倒」。
週五,MUT 就尚未達成協議的部門協議向政府發出了最後通牒,因為工會也宣布與政府之間存在貿易爭端。
教育部長回應 MUT 的說法
教育部長克利夫頓·格里馬 (Clifton Grima) 在回應 MUT 週六的聲明時堅稱,政府的提案確實包括 36,000 歐元的起薪。 「這只是一類教育工作者的加薪,」格里馬說。他指出,這些提議包括更多的加薪,但不需要額外的工作量或資格。
格里馬再次呼籲 MUT 充分告知其成員,並補充說工會沒有提及政府和工會之間的最近兩次會議。
Grima 威脅稱,如果 MUT“繼續選擇性地分享描繪虛假圖景的信息”,他將宣布整個擬議交易。

"MUT says minister's claims of proposed €10,000 rise in teacher's salary is not true
Responding to the MUT's statement education minister Clifton Grima insisted that government's proposals does include a €36,000 starting salary, and threatened to publish the entire proposed deal
The Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) has publicly refuted claims made by education minister Clifton Grima regarding salary increases for teachers.
On Saturday, the MUT was reacting to a ONE News article, where Grima encouraged the union to inform its members of government's financial proposals, as he stated that the financial package includes a starting salary of €36,000 for teachers, which represents a €10,000 increase.
The minister's assertions of €10,000 raises and a starting salary of €36,000 for new teachers are not reflected in the government's financial proposals to the MUT, the union said. The MUT published extracts from the government's latest proposal on their website, which show no evidence of these claimed increases.
Instead, the documents reveal proposed increases in teaching load, a loss of parity between currently equivalent grades, and salary arrears for 2024 excluding 2023.
The MUT accused the government of trying to save face by discrediting the union rather than working towards a solution for the sectoral agreement. The union emphasised its resolve to continue fighting for the recognition and fair treatment of educators, as it concluded that its members, ""shall not be intimidated.""
On Friday, the MUT issued an ultimatum to the government regarding the sectoral agreement which is yet to be agreed upon, as the union also declared a trade dispute with the government.
Education minister responds to MUT claims
Responding to the MUT's statement on Saturday, education minister Clifton Grima insisted that government's proposals does include a €36,000 starting salary. ""And this is only one raise for one category of educators,"" Grima said. He noted that the proposals include more raises which don't require additional work load or qualifications.
Grima reiterated his call for the MUT to fully inform its members, adding that the union is making no reference to the last two meetings between government and the union.
Grima threatened to publish the entire proposed deal should the MUT ""continue to share selective information that paints a false picture.""

"एमयूटी का कहना है कि शिक्षक के वेतन में €10,000 की प्रस्तावित वृद्धि के मंत्री के दावे सही नहीं हैं
एमयूटी के बयान पर प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए शिक्षा मंत्री क्लिफ्टन ग्रिमा ने जोर देकर कहा कि सरकार के प्रस्तावों में €36,000 का शुरुआती वेतन शामिल है, और पूरे प्रस्तावित सौदे को प्रकाशित करने की धमकी दी
माल्टा यूनियन ऑफ टीचर्स (एमयूटी) ने शिक्षकों के वेतन वृद्धि के संबंध में शिक्षा मंत्री क्लिफ्टन ग्रिमा द्वारा किए गए दावों का सार्वजनिक रूप से खंडन किया है।
शनिवार को, एमयूटी एक समाचार लेख पर प्रतिक्रिया दे रहा था, जहां ग्रिमा ने संघ को अपने सदस्यों को सरकार के वित्तीय प्रस्तावों के बारे में सूचित करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया, क्योंकि उन्होंने कहा था कि वित्तीय पैकेज में शिक्षकों के लिए €36,000 का शुरुआती वेतन शामिल है, जो €10,000 की वृद्धि दर्शाता है .
संघ ने कहा कि मंत्री के €10,000 की बढ़ोतरी और नए शिक्षकों के लिए €36,000 के शुरुआती वेतन के दावे एमयूटी के लिए सरकार के वित्तीय प्रस्तावों में परिलक्षित नहीं होते हैं। एमयूटी ने अपनी वेबसाइट पर सरकार के नवीनतम प्रस्ताव के उद्धरण प्रकाशित किए, जो इन दावा की गई वृद्धि का कोई सबूत नहीं दिखाते हैं।
इसके बजाय, दस्तावेज़ शिक्षण भार में प्रस्तावित वृद्धि, वर्तमान समकक्ष ग्रेड के बीच समानता की हानि और 2023 को छोड़कर 2024 के लिए वेतन बकाया का खुलासा करते हैं।
एमयूटी ने सरकार पर क्षेत्रीय समझौते के समाधान की दिशा में काम करने के बजाय संघ को बदनाम करके चेहरा बचाने की कोशिश करने का आरोप लगाया। संघ ने शिक्षकों की मान्यता और उचित व्यवहार के लिए लड़ाई जारी रखने के अपने संकल्प पर जोर दिया, क्योंकि उसने निष्कर्ष निकाला कि उसके सदस्यों को ""डराया नहीं जाएगा।""
शुक्रवार को, एमयूटी ने क्षेत्रीय समझौते के संबंध में सरकार को एक अल्टीमेटम जारी किया, जिस पर अभी तक सहमति नहीं बनी है, क्योंकि संघ ने सरकार के साथ व्यापार विवाद की भी घोषणा की है।
शिक्षा मंत्री ने एमयूटी के दावों का जवाब दिया
शनिवार को एमयूटी के बयान पर प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए, शिक्षा मंत्री क्लिफ्टन ग्रिमा ने जोर देकर कहा कि सरकार के प्रस्तावों में €36,000 का शुरुआती वेतन शामिल है। ग्रिमा ने कहा, ""और यह शिक्षकों की एक श्रेणी के लिए केवल एक वेतन वृद्धि है।"" उन्होंने कहा कि प्रस्तावों में अधिक वेतन वृद्धि शामिल है जिसके लिए अतिरिक्त कार्य भार या योग्यता की आवश्यकता नहीं है।
ग्रिमा ने एमयूटी से अपने सदस्यों को पूरी तरह से सूचित करने के अपने आह्वान को दोहराया, और कहा कि संघ सरकार और संघ के बीच पिछली दो बैठकों का कोई संदर्भ नहीं दे रहा है।
ग्रिमा ने धमकी दी कि अगर एमयूटी ""झूठी तस्वीर पेश करने वाली चयनात्मक जानकारी साझा करना जारी रखता है तो वह पूरे प्रस्तावित सौदे को प्रकाशित कर देगा।""

"Le MUT déclare que les affirmations du ministre concernant une proposition d'augmentation de 10 000 € du salaire des enseignants ne sont pas vraies
En réponse à la déclaration du MUT, le ministre de l'Éducation, Clifton Grima, a insisté sur le fait que les propositions du gouvernement prévoyaient un salaire de départ de 36 000 € et a menacé de publier l'intégralité de l'accord proposé.
Le Syndicat des enseignants de Malte (MUT) a publiquement réfuté les affirmations du ministre de l'Éducation, Clifton Grima, concernant les augmentations de salaire des enseignants.
Samedi, le MUT réagissait à un article de ONE News, dans lequel Grima encourageait le syndicat à informer ses membres des propositions financières du gouvernement, affirmant que le paquet financier comprend un salaire de départ de 36 000 € pour les enseignants, ce qui représente une augmentation de 10 000 €. .
Les affirmations du ministre concernant une augmentation de 10 000 euros et un salaire de départ de 36 000 euros pour les nouveaux enseignants ne se reflètent pas dans les propositions financières du gouvernement au MUT, a indiqué le syndicat. Le MUT a publié sur son site Internet des extraits de la dernière proposition du gouvernement, qui ne montrent aucune preuve de ces prétendues augmentations.
Au lieu de cela, les documents révèlent des propositions d'augmentation de la charge d'enseignement, une perte de parité entre les grades actuellement équivalents et des arriérés de salaire pour 2024 à l'exclusion de 2023.
Le MUT a accusé le gouvernement d'essayer de sauver la face en discréditant le syndicat plutôt qu'en travaillant à une solution pour l'accord sectoriel. Le syndicat a souligné sa détermination à continuer de lutter pour la reconnaissance et le traitement équitable des éducateurs, concluant que ses membres « ne doivent pas se laisser intimider ».
Vendredi, le MUT a lancé un ultimatum au gouvernement concernant l'accord sectoriel qui n'a pas encore été conclu, le syndicat ayant également déclaré un conflit commercial avec le gouvernement.
Le ministre de l'Éducation répond aux affirmations du MUT
En réponse à la déclaration du MUT samedi, le ministre de l'Éducation, Clifton Grima, a insisté sur le fait que les propositions du gouvernement incluent effectivement un salaire de départ de 36 000 €. ""Et ce n'est qu'une augmentation pour une catégorie d'éducateurs"", a déclaré Grima. Il a noté que les propositions incluent davantage d'augmentations qui ne nécessitent pas de charge de travail ou de qualifications supplémentaires.
Grima a réitéré son appel au MUT pour qu'il informe pleinement ses membres, ajoutant que le syndicat ne fait aucune référence aux deux dernières réunions entre le gouvernement et le syndicat.
Grima a menacé de publier l'intégralité de l'accord proposé si le MUT ""continuait à partager des informations sélectives qui donnent une fausse image"".

"Laut MUT sind die Behauptungen des Ministers über die vorgeschlagene Erhöhung des Lehrergehalts um 10.000 Euro nicht wahr
In seiner Antwort auf die MUT-Erklärung bestand Bildungsminister Clifton Grima darauf, dass die Vorschläge der Regierung tatsächlich ein Einstiegsgehalt von 36.000 Euro vorsähen, und drohte mit der Veröffentlichung des gesamten vorgeschlagenen Deals
Die Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) hat Behauptungen des Bildungsministers Clifton Grima bezüglich Gehaltserhöhungen für Lehrer öffentlich zurückgewiesen.
Am Samstag reagierte die MUT auf einen Artikel von ONE News, in dem Grima die Gewerkschaft ermutigte, ihre Mitglieder über die Finanzvorschläge der Regierung zu informieren, indem er erklärte, dass das Finanzpaket ein Einstiegsgehalt von 36.000 Euro für Lehrer beinhaltet, was einer Erhöhung um 10.000 Euro entspricht .
Die Behauptungen des Ministers, Gehaltserhöhungen um 10.000 Euro und ein Einstiegsgehalt von 36.000 Euro für neue Lehrer seien nicht in den Finanzvorschlägen der Regierung für die MUT enthalten, sagte die Gewerkschaft. Die MUT veröffentlichte auf ihrer Website Auszüge aus dem neuesten Vorschlag der Regierung, die keine Beweise für diese behaupteten Erhöhungen enthalten.
Stattdessen offenbaren die Dokumente vorgeschlagene Erhöhungen des Lehrpensums, einen Verlust der Parität zwischen derzeit gleichwertigen Noten und Gehaltsrückstände für 2024 mit Ausnahme von 2023.
Die MUT warf der Regierung vor, sie versuche ihr Gesicht zu wahren, indem sie die Gewerkschaft diskreditiere, anstatt auf eine Lösung für die Branchenvereinbarung hinzuarbeiten. Die Gewerkschaft betonte ihre Entschlossenheit, weiterhin für die Anerkennung und faire Behandlung von Pädagogen zu kämpfen, und kam zu dem Schluss, dass ihre Mitglieder „sich nicht einschüchtern lassen dürfen“.
Am Freitag stellte die MUT der Regierung ein Ultimatum bezüglich der Branchenvereinbarung, auf die noch keine Einigung erzielt wurde, da die Gewerkschaft auch einen Handelsstreit mit der Regierung erklärte.
Bildungsminister antwortet auf MUT-Behauptungen
In seiner Antwort auf die MUT-Erklärung vom Samstag bestand Bildungsminister Clifton Grima darauf, dass die Vorschläge der Regierung tatsächlich ein Einstiegsgehalt von 36.000 Euro vorsähen. „Und das ist nur eine Gehaltserhöhung für eine Kategorie von Pädagogen“, sagte Grima. Er wies darauf hin, dass die Vorschläge mehr Gehaltserhöhungen vorsähen, die keine zusätzliche Arbeitsbelastung oder Qualifikationen erfordern.
Grima wiederholte seine Forderung an die MUT, ihre Mitglieder umfassend zu informieren, und fügte hinzu, dass die Gewerkschaft sich nicht auf die letzten beiden Treffen zwischen Regierung und Gewerkschaft beziehe.
Grima drohte damit, den gesamten geplanten Deal zu veröffentlichen, sollte die MUT „weiterhin selektive Informationen weitergeben, die ein falsches Bild zeichnen“.

2024.05.18 21:52 Jaded-Mycologist-831 Anyways here’s poems + History Boys

Tissue
Polysemous title- Tissue • Tissue- paper + skin (human life is fragile [criticises arrogance, encourages us to protect]) • Also paper (not alive) + skin (alive)- criticises monotony of life, not really living • Tissue paper- found in bibles and holy texts, but fragile (overinflated importance of identity causing wars and discrimination, really it’s very fragile and identity isn’t real, we’re all just people (tissue as in skin)) • Tissue- used to wipe away tears, togetherness can reduce suffering • Tissue- medical term for deep skin- poem shows deeper nature of humans and our potential for goodness, can be wounded and damaged by outside influences but can always heal
"Paper that lets the light shine through, this is what could alter things" - reference to religious texts paper, light as Jesus and Allah (power of religion) - or coexistence with nature (Dharker is a Muslim Calvinist)
Enjambment- freedom, lack of control of humans, rejecting constraints
Free verse- same thing
"Let the daylight break through capitals and monoliths" - power of nature, criticism of authority, weakness of humans- “break” violent personification, destroying authority, daylight + break = sunrise + hope
"The sun shines through their borderlines" - nature overcomes human segregation identity, criticism of war, power of nature) sibilance shows power, “their” still shows separation, criticise that
"fly our lives like paper kites" - childish metaphor, mocking control of money over life (criticism of authority)
"the back of the Koran" - “the” repetition shows importance, “back” shows it is hidden/shunned by society, still holding onto identity
"Transparent" - repetition, criticism of dishonesty of authority
Exposure
"Merciless iced east winds that knive us" - personification of wind shanking people (first line not about war but nature- more significant) (power of nature)- subtle sibilance (just as dangerous as bullets but most people don’t realise)- Germans were in the east, but the only thing from there is wind
ABBAC rhyme, structure is built only to be taken down (tension of soldiers expecting fight but let down)
Pararhyme- unsatisfying for reader, reflects how the soldiers are always nervous but never get to chill
“What are we doing here?” Rhetorical question to criticise authority, or actual question to show PTSD confusion, can be asking what they are DOING or why they are HERE
"For love of God seems dying" ok 1. The soldier's love of God is dying 2. God's love for the soldiers is dying 3. To show love of God, you should die
"forgotten dreams" - juxtaposition, loss of hope, forgotten dreams on purpose to be less sad? war made them forget? “forgotten” disassociated from PTSD, “dreams” as happiness from the past that seems unreal
“a dull rumour of some other war" reference to the Bible and Armageddon, metaphorical end of the world for the soldiers be suffering "sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence" - sibilance represents sound of bullets, jolting reader out of relative lack of noises, feel like soldiers
Epistrophe "but nothing happens" cyclical structure, stuck in suffering
“we” “us” “our” collective pronouns, shared experience, comradeship, loss of identity, relatable to all soldiers
Kamikaze
Title- single word, only military rank- only seen as a kamikaze pilot by others
Structure- 6 lines per stanza but free verse and lots of enjambment- conflict between control and freedom (military/social expectations/duty vs love for family/nature/memories/life)
Constant shifts between first person and third person- disconnect from family due to shame
“Her father embarked at sunrise” -sunrise as power of nature + Japan’s military flag- conflict
“a shaven head full of powerful incantations” -incantations are deliberately vague- orders from military? prayers? inner conscience against it? It’s “powerful” tho and influences him, and it’s “full” showing his distress, shaved head like most kamikaze pilots
“green-blue translucent sea” beautiful imagery, “translucent” shows how things are unclear but getting clearer- nature helps him decide what to do
Describes fishes “like a huge flag”- patriotic semantic field shows brainwashing, but reduces as the poem goes on, simile shows how he is starting to disconnect and change his mind,
also as “a figure of eight”- shows thoughts of pride and prosperity-
“The dark shoals of fishes/flashing silver as their bellies/swivelled towards the sun” - • sibilance shows ocean noises and beauty, “dark” -> “flashing silver” things get brighter and easier to see- knows what to do thanks to nature • “Silver”- medals he would have gotten for being a kamikaze pilot, but true reward is in nature • “Sun”- represents beauty of nature and also Japanese flag- conflict but now there’s also nature in the mix • Belly up- death on his mind
“bringing their father’s home safe/-yes, grandfather’s boat- safe” repetition of “safe” shows reason to come back- wants to return to family, memories
“a tuna, the dark prince, muscular, dangerous.” • first mention of danger = power in the whole poem, danger to the mission as it causes the pilot to have doubts, true power is in nature and memory • First full stop in the poem and lots of commas- makes us stop and think like the pilot about what he’s abt to do
“laughed” “loved” at the end of the poem- all in past tense- nothing left for the soldier
“we too learned to be silent”- “learned” should be positive but contrasts with what they learnt- criticises how they were taught shame by the older generations- but it’s said in first person, the daughter is criticising this and teaching her children not to think that way
Poppies
Title- honours and grieves dead soldiers, short single word title shows full intent of the poem and how the mother’s life is consumed by grief
Dramatic monologue- emphasis on the domestic impact and how the soldier isn’t present in the poem
Free verse, enjambment- chaotic, lack of control over the son, distressed
Domestic + military semantic fields- life has been ruined by war
“Spasms of paper red, disrupting a blockade of yellow bias”- mix between war + domestic • “spasms” and “red” is injury and pain- mother is worried or is hurt by letting go (spasms is involuntary muscle action- involuntary letting go), • “paper” is the fragility of the son • “blockade” is military language showing her worry abt the conflict, how she wants to “block” her son from going into the military • “disrupting” the fabric - the son becoming a soldier disrupts the peace or she is trying to disrupt him from going to war
“The dove pulled freely against the sky, / an ornamental stitch”- dove represents peace and grief- she and her son is at peace with death, “pulled freely” is an oxymoron- inner conflict with grief or letting her son go, the comma shows a pause to reflect on the grief, the “ornamental stitch” metaphor for the mother (pretends to hold it together)
“I was brave”- takes down ideas of just the soldier’s bravery but also the mother’s, but past tense shows current weakness from grief
“Sellotape bandaged around my hand” • Bandage shows wounds • Sticks them together one last time- cat hairs are removed, no more reason to stay • Claustrophobic feeling- stuck in the domestic role, can’t go and protect the son
“Blackthorns of your hair”- religious connotations of Jesus on the cross, sacrificed for the country- metaphor for the son
History Boys
"Enemy of education" war metaphor and alliteration, opposition between true understanding of literature and grades only used shallowly “Cheat’s Visa”
"a fact of life" indisputable and unchangable, in opposition with Irwin's views on history (truth does not matter to him until now?)
Drummer Hodge: Intertextuality, Tom Hardy (the poet) represents Hector, sympathising with the ordeal of the youth, Drummer Hodge represents the Boys, thrown into the chaos of life without proper guidance
"She's my western front" war metaphor objectifies Fiona, personal pronoun further expresses how women were seen as objects to be owned
“... all the other shrunken violets you people line up" [you people] segregates gay people, [shrunken violets] derogatory language
"Some of the literature says it will pass" looking to literature for solace and comfort during a sexuality crisis
"All literature is consolation" Dakin changes his mind on literature symbolising him changing to Irwin's side. No need to look for solace in literature when he can pursue Irwin
Parallels with "all knowledge is precious" from Hector - A.E. Housman, one of the first intertextualities and used in the intro to establish his character
“cunt-struck” “a cunt”- Mrs Lintott repeats the colloquialism “cunt” twice, to describe Dakin as “cunt-struck” and Headmaster as “a cunt”. This is the hardest swear in the play and is used show that it wasn’t a slip of the tongue, and to break down stereotypes of women being gentle and passive
“history is women following behind with the bucket” - her big scene about women in history at the end of the play (which is typical for Alan Benett’s plays such as “Kafka’s Dick”) so it would be recent and stay in the audience’s mind when the show ended
Irwin intro as politician in the future "etc., etc." while talking abt freedom- that man gives no fucks about freedom really, just waffling on (first impression for the audience too!!)
Parallel with Holocaust debate- Lockwood uses the SAME EXACT PHRASE while talking abt how the holocaust was bad, (dismissiveness of mass genocide? in this education system? it’s more likely than you think) then goes on to argue that they should be unique with their arguments- Irwin passed on thr mindset even on such an important subject
Hector is set up to be looking cool and all (motorcycle scene dramaticness, greek name connotations, fav teacher) but is absolutely uncool when we get to know him- purposeful? "studied eccentricity" and all. clinging onto youth?
Posner is actually rather helpful as the "dictionary person" bc i doubt the audiences know what "otiose" means
SCRIPPS IS THE MOST RELIGIOUS ONE AND CLOSEST TO POSNER it can dismantle the idea that religion is against queerness
Irwin didnt know how nietzche was pronounced bc from what we know of him he would call Dakin out on that

2024.05.18 21:51 sinomaltanews "Editorjal TMID: Il-qawwa tal-protesti

"Editorjal TMID: Il-qawwa tal-protesti
Il-qawwa ta’ protesta paċifika qiegħda hemm biex jaraha kulħadd. Il-pajjiż ra ħafna f’dawn l-aħħar snin – protesti kontra art fiż-Żonqor li qed tingħata lill-Università Amerikana ta’ Malta, protesti kontra l-qlugħ mill-għeruq tas-siġar u għall-ħarsien tal-ambjent inġenerali, protesti li jsejħu r-riżenji u t-tmiem tal-korruzzjoni.
L-2019 kienet eżempju perfett tal-impatt li jista’ jkollhom il-protesti, fejn wara l-arrest ta’ Yorgen Fenech fuq il-qtil tal-ġurnalista, Daphne Caruana Galizia, kienu nqalgħu protesti madwar il-pajjiż li jitolbu ġustizzja għall-ġurnalista maqtula, li rriżultaw fir-riżenja ta’ dak iż-żmien. Prim Ministru, Joseph Muscat.
REKLAM
Issa qed jerġgħu jinfaqgħu l-protesti, din id-darba marbuta mal-ftehim infami tal-isptarijiet. Il-qrati kienu annullaw il-ftehim is-sena l-oħra, u semmew il-frodi, deċiżjoni li kienet ikkonfermata wkoll mill-qorti tal-appell, li użat il-kelma kollużjoni fis-sentenza tagħha.
Riċentement ġiet fi tmiemha inkjesta maġisterjali dwar l-aspett kriminali tal-ftehim tal-isptarijiet, u tressqu akkużi fil-qorti. Dawk akkużati jinkludu l-ogħla uffiċjali attwali u eks uffiċjali fil-pajjiż. Fosthom l-eks Prim Ministru, Joseph Muscat, u l-eks Chief of Staff tiegħu, Keith Schembri, kif ukoll l-eks Ministru, Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne huwa mixli wkoll, u għamel it-tajjeb u rriżenja minn Deputat Prim Ministru u Ministru. Il-Gvernatur tal-Bank Ċentrali, Edward Scicluna, jinsab mixli wkoll, iżda ma rrinunzjax … għandu biex ma jikkawżax ħsara lir-reputazzjoni.
Huma kollha, flimkien mal-oħrajn akkużati, se jkollhom l-opportunità li jiddefendu lilhom infushom fil-qorti, u huma l-qrati li jiddeċiedu jekk humiex ħatja jew innoċenti. Iżda l-Prim Ministru, Robert Abela, ħa d-deċiżjoni li jattakka l-inkjesta maġisterjali, billi qajjem dubji dwar iż-żmien tal-konklużjoni u qajjem mistoqsijiet dwarha.
Huwa għamel ukoll kummenti kontra l-ġurnalisti u rabat xi wħud ma’ dak li sejjaħ ‘l-establishment’. Huwa kors perikoluż li wieħed jieħu peress li jista’ jkun ta’ theddida mhux ħażin għall-ġurnalisti u l-membri tal-ġudikatura. Jista’ wkoll ipoġġi biża’ fl-avukati tal-prosekuzzjoni u l-membri tal-ġudikatura li jkollhom jisimgħu l-kawżi kriminali. Hu mhux il-medja Joe, imma l-Prim Ministru ta’ nazzjon, fejn hemm differenza, u l-azzjonijiet tiegħu huma inaċċettabbli.
Dan kollu wassal biex faqqgħu protesti fil-pajjiż, apparti dikjarazzjonijiet qawwija minn bosta setturi li qalu lill-Prim Ministru biex iwaqqaf l-attakki tiegħu fuq il-ġudikatura u l-ġurnalisti.
Studenti universitarji nġabru fi Triq ir-Repubblika biex jipprotestaw u kollettivament ikkundannaw il-kummenti tal-Prim Ministru Robert Abela kontra l-ġudikatura. Aktar tard il-Partit Nazzjonalista kien għamel protesta tiegħu stess barra l-Parlament, fejn il-Kap tal-PN, Bernard Grech, kien ikkritika d-deċiżjoni tal-Ispeaker tal-Kamra li ma jħallix dibattitu urġenti dwar is-sitwazzjoni riċenti, u qal ukoll li l-protesta kienet biex ‘[ar;u lin-nazzjon minn Abela’ u kkundanna d-dikjarazzjonijiet attakkanti tal-Prim Ministru dwar il-;udikatura.
Aktar tard, kienet organizzata protesta mir-Repubblika, appoġġjata minn 21 għaqda, li sejħet għal Malta nadifa u kkundannat id-dikjarazzjonijiet li għamel il-Prim Ministru kontra ġurnalisti u membri tal-ġudikatura, fost l-oħrajn.
Il-protesti jgħinu biex juru r-rabja tan-nies għas-sitwazzjoni, u jenfasizzaw il-kwistjonijiet li n-nies mhumiex kuntenti bihom. Il-protesti huma b’saħħithom, u l-Prim Ministru assolutament irid jagħti kas ta’ dak li qed jingħad minn dawk ta’ rieda tajba.
Għandu jsejjaħ għat-tneħħija ta’ Scicluna peress li l-pożizzjoni tiegħu, filwaqt li jiffaċċja akkużi serji, mhix tenibbli. Għandu jirtira l-kummenti li għamel dwar l-inkjesta u dwar il-ġurnalisti. Dan huwa dak li hu tajjeb għall-pajjiż.

"TMID 社論:抗議的力量
和平抗議的力量是有目共睹的。近年來,該國發生了許多抗議活動——反對將祖科爾的土地給予馬耳他美國大學、反對拔除樹木和保護環境的抗議、要求辭職和結束腐敗的抗議。
2019 年是抗議活動影響力的一個完美例子,在約爾根·費內奇(Yorgen Fenech) 因記者達芙妮·卡魯阿納·加利齊亞(Daphne Caruana Galizia) 遇刺事件被捕後,全國各地爆發了抗議活動,要求為被謀殺的記者伸張正義,導致當時的記者辭職約瑟夫·馬斯喀特總理。
廣告
現在抗議活動再次爆發,這次與臭名昭著的醫院交易有關。去年,法院以欺詐為由撤銷了該交易,上訴法院也確認了這項決定,上訴法院在判決中使用了「共謀」一詞。
對醫院交易刑事方面的司法調查最近結束,並已向法庭提出指控。被指控的人包括該國現任和前任高級官員。其中包括前總理約瑟夫·馬斯喀特、前幕僚長基思·申布里以及前部長康拉德
米茲。克里斯·費恩(Chris Fearne)也受到指控,他做了正確的事,辭去了副總理和部長的職務。央行行長愛德華·希克魯納(Edward Scicluna)也受到指控,但他還沒有下台……他應該下台,以免造成聲譽損害。
他們所有人以及其他被指控的人都將有機會在法庭上為自己辯護,而法庭將決定他們是否有罪。但總理羅伯特·阿貝拉決定攻擊權威調查,質疑結論的時機並提出質疑。
他也發表過針對記者的評論,並將一些記者與他所謂的「當權派」聯繫起來。這是一條危險的道路,因為它可能對記者和司法人員構成相當大的威脅。它也可能使必須審理刑事案件的檢方律師和司法人員感到恐懼。他不是普通的喬,而是一個國家的總理,這是有區別的,他的行為是不可接受的。
所有這一切都導致該國爆發抗議活動,儘管許多部門發表強烈聲明,要求總理停止攻擊司法機構和記者。
大學生聚集在共和國街抗議,集體譴責總理羅伯特·阿貝拉針對司法機構的言論。國民黨後來在議會外舉行了自己的抗議活動,國民黨領袖伯納德·格雷奇批評眾議院議長不允許就最近局勢進行緊急辯論的決定,並表示抗議是為了“保護國家免受阿貝拉的侵害” ,並譴責總理有關司法機構的攻擊性言論。
隨後,共和黨在 21 個組織的支持下組織了一場抗議活動,呼籲建立一個廉潔的馬耳他,並譴責總理針對記者和司法人員的言論等。
抗議活動有助於表達人們對局勢的憤怒,並突顯人們不滿意的問題。抗議活動很強烈,首相絕對必須留意善意人士的言論。
他必須要求解除希克魯納的職務,因為他的立場雖然面臨嚴重指控,但站不住腳。他必須收回他對調查和記者發表的評論。這才是對國家有利的事。

"TMID Editorial: The power of protests
The power of a peaceful protest is there for all to see. The country has seen many in recent years – protests against land in Żonqor being given to the American University of Malta, protests against the uprooting of trees and to protect the environment in general, to protests calling for resignations and an end to corruption.
2019 was a perfect example of the impact that protests can have, where following the arrest of Yorgen Fenech over the assassination of journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, protests had erupted around the country calling for justice for the murdered journalist, resulting in the resignation of then Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat.
ADVERTISEMENT
Now protests are erupting again, this time tied to the infamous hospitals deal. The courts had annulled the deal last year, mentioning fraud, a decision that was also confirmed by the court of appeal, which used the word collusion in its judgement.
A magisterial inquiry into the criminal aspect of the hospitals deal recently came to a close, and charges have been filed in court. Those charged include current and former top officials in the country. Among them is former Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, and his former Chief of Staff, Keith Schembri, as well as former Minister, Konrad
Mizzi. Chris Fearne is also charged, and he did the correct thing and resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister. Governor of the Central Bank, Edward Scicluna, is also charged, but he has not stepped down … he should in order not to cause reputational damage.
They all, together with the others charged, will have the opportunity to defend themselves in court, and it is the courts that will decide whether they are guilty or innocent. But Prime Minister, Robert Abela, has taken the decision to attack the magisterial inquiry, by questioning the timing of the conclusion and raising questions about it.
He has also made comments against journalists and tying some to what he has dubbed ‘the establishment’. It is a dangerous course to take as it can be quite threatening to journalists and members of the judiciary. It can also put fear into the prosecution lawyers and members of the judiciary that will have to hear the criminal cases. He is not the average Joe, but the Prime Minister of a nation, where there is a difference, and his actions are unacceptable.
All of this has resulted in protests erupting in the country, aside from strong statements by many sectors telling the Prime Minister to stop his attacks on the judiciary and journalists.
University students gathered in Republic Street to protest and collectively condemned Prime Minister Robert Abela’s comments against the judiciary. The Nationalist Party had later held a protest of its own outside Parliament, where PN Leader, Bernard Grech, had criticised the decision by the Speaker of the House not to allow an urgent debate about the recent situation, and also said that the protest was to ‘protect the nation from Abela’ and condemned the Prime Minister’s attacking statements regarding the judiciary.
Later still, a protest was organised by Repubblika, backed by 21 organisations, calling for a clean Malta and condemning the statements made by the Prime Minister against journalists and members of the judiciary, as amongst other things.
The protests help show the people’s anger at the situation, and highlight the issues that the people are not happy with. Protests are powerful, and the Prime Minister absolutely must take heed of what is being said by those of goodwill.
He must call for the removal of Scicluna as his position, while he faces serious charges, is not tenable. He must retract the comments he has made about the inquiry and about journalists. This is what is right for the country.

"टीएमआईडी संपादकीय: विरोध की शक्ति
शांतिपूर्ण विरोध की शक्ति सभी को देखने को मिलती है। देश ने हाल के वर्षों में बहुत कुछ देखा है - ज़ोन्कोर में भूमि को अमेरिकी माल्टा विश्वविद्यालय को दिए जाने के खिलाफ विरोध प्रदर्शन, पेड़ों को उखाड़ने और सामान्य रूप से पर्यावरण की रक्षा के लिए विरोध प्रदर्शन, इस्तीफे और भ्रष्टाचार को समाप्त करने के लिए विरोध प्रदर्शन।
2019 विरोध प्रदर्शनों के प्रभाव का एक आदर्श उदाहरण था, जहां पत्रकार डैफने कारुआना गैलिज़िया की हत्या पर योर्गेन फेनेच की गिरफ्तारी के बाद, मारे गए पत्रकार के लिए न्याय की मांग करते हुए देश भर में विरोध प्रदर्शन शुरू हो गए थे, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति को इस्तीफा देना पड़ा था। प्रधान मंत्री, जोसेफ मस्कट।
विज्ञापन
अब विरोध प्रदर्शन फिर से भड़क रहे हैं, इस बार यह कुख्यात अस्पताल सौदे से जुड़ा है। अदालतों ने पिछले साल धोखाधड़ी का उल्लेख करते हुए सौदे को रद्द कर दिया था, एक फैसले की अपील की अदालत ने भी पुष्टि की थी, जिसने अपने फैसले में मिलीभगत शब्द का इस्तेमाल किया था।
अस्पताल सौदे के आपराधिक पहलू की मजिस्ट्रेट जांच हाल ही में समाप्त हुई और अदालत में आरोप दायर किए गए हैं। आरोप लगाने वालों में देश के वर्तमान और पूर्व शीर्ष अधिकारी शामिल हैं। इनमें पूर्व प्रधान मंत्री, जोसेफ मस्कट, और उनके पूर्व चीफ ऑफ स्टाफ, कीथ शेम्ब्री, साथ ही पूर्व मंत्री, कोनराड भी शामिल हैं।
मिज्जी. क्रिस फ़र्ने पर भी आरोप लगाया गया है, और उन्होंने सही काम किया और उप प्रधान मंत्री और मंत्री के पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया। सेंट्रल बैंक के गवर्नर, एडवर्ड सिक्लुना पर भी आरोप लगाया गया है, लेकिन उन्होंने पद नहीं छोड़ा है...प्रतिष्ठा को नुकसान न पहुंचे इसलिए उन्हें पद छोड़ना चाहिए।
उन सभी को, अन्य आरोपियों के साथ, अदालत में अपना बचाव करने का अवसर मिलेगा, और अदालतें ही तय करेंगी कि वे दोषी हैं या निर्दोष हैं। लेकिन प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला ने निष्कर्ष के समय पर सवाल उठाकर और इसके बारे में सवाल उठाकर मजिस्ट्रेट जांच पर हमला करने का निर्णय लिया है।
उन्होंने पत्रकारों के ख़िलाफ़ भी टिप्पणियाँ की हैं और कुछ को उन्होंने 'प्रतिष्ठान' करार दिया है। यह एक खतरनाक रास्ता है क्योंकि यह पत्रकारों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों के लिए काफी खतरनाक हो सकता है। यह अभियोजन पक्ष के वकीलों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों में भी डर पैदा कर सकता है जिन्हें आपराधिक मामलों की सुनवाई करनी होगी। वह कोई औसत व्यक्ति नहीं हैं, बल्कि एक ऐसे देश के प्रधान मंत्री हैं, जहां मतभेद है और उनके कार्य अस्वीकार्य हैं।
इस सब के परिणामस्वरूप देश में विरोध प्रदर्शन शुरू हो गए हैं, कई क्षेत्रों द्वारा कड़े बयानों के अलावा प्रधानमंत्री से न्यायपालिका और पत्रकारों पर अपने हमलों को रोकने के लिए कहा गया है।
विश्वविद्यालय के छात्र विरोध करने के लिए रिपब्लिक स्ट्रीट में एकत्र हुए और न्यायपालिका के खिलाफ प्रधान मंत्री रॉबर्ट अबेला की टिप्पणियों की सामूहिक रूप से निंदा की। नेशनलिस्ट पार्टी ने बाद में संसद के बाहर अपना विरोध प्रदर्शन किया था, जहां पीएन नेता, बर्नार्ड ग्रेच ने सदन के अध्यक्ष द्वारा हाल की स्थिति के बारे में तत्काल बहस की अनुमति नहीं देने के फैसले की आलोचना की थी, और यह भी कहा था कि यह विरोध प्रदर्शन था। 'देश को अबेला से बचाएं' और न्यायपालिका को लेकर प्रधानमंत्री के हमलावर बयानों की निंदा की.
बाद में भी, रिपब्लिका द्वारा 21 संगठनों के समर्थन से एक विरोध प्रदर्शन आयोजित किया गया, जिसमें स्वच्छ माल्टा का आह्वान किया गया और अन्य बातों के अलावा, पत्रकारों और न्यायपालिका के सदस्यों के खिलाफ प्रधान मंत्री द्वारा दिए गए बयानों की निंदा की गई।
विरोध प्रदर्शन स्थिति पर लोगों का गुस्सा दिखाने में मदद करते हैं, और उन मुद्दों को उजागर करते हैं जिनसे लोग खुश नहीं हैं। विरोध शक्तिशाली है और प्रधानमंत्री को सद्भावना रखने वालों की बातों पर अवश्य ध्यान देना चाहिए।
उन्हें स्किकलुना को हटाने की मांग करनी चाहिए क्योंकि गंभीर आरोपों का सामना करते हुए उनका पद तर्कसंगत नहीं है। उन्हें जांच और पत्रकारों के बारे में की गई टिप्पणियों को वापस लेना चाहिए। यही देश के लिए सही है.

"Editorial TMID: El poder de las protestas
El poder de una protesta pacífica está ahí para que todos lo vean. El país ha sido testigo de muchas en los últimos años: protestas contra la cesión de tierras en Żonqor a la Universidad Americana de Malta, protestas contra el arranque de árboles y para proteger el medio ambiente en general, hasta protestas que piden dimisiones y el fin de la corrupción.
2019 fue un ejemplo perfecto del impacto que pueden tener las protestas, donde tras el arresto de Yorgen Fenech por el asesinato de la periodista Daphne Caruana Galizia, estallaron protestas en todo el país pidiendo justicia para el periodista asesinado, lo que resultó en la renuncia del entonces Primer Ministro, Joseph Muscat.
ANUNCIO
Ahora las protestas están estallando de nuevo, esta vez vinculadas al infame acuerdo con los hospitales. Los tribunales habían anulado el acuerdo el año pasado, alegando fraude, decisión que también fue confirmada por el tribunal de apelación, que utilizó la palabra colusión en su sentencia.
Recientemente concluyó una investigación judicial sobre el aspecto penal del acuerdo con los hospitales y se han presentado cargos ante los tribunales. Entre los acusados ​​se encuentran altos funcionarios actuales y anteriores del país. Entre ellos se encuentra el ex Primer Ministro, Joseph Muscat, y su ex Jefe de Gabinete, Keith Schembri, así como el ex Ministro, Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne también está acusado e hizo lo correcto y dimitió como viceprimer ministro y ministro. El gobernador del Banco Central, Edward Scicluna, también está acusado, pero no ha dimitido... debería hacerlo para no causar daños a su reputación.
Todos ellos, junto con los demás acusados, tendrán la oportunidad de defenderse ante los tribunales, y serán los tribunales los que decidirán si son culpables o inocentes. Pero el Primer Ministro, Robert Abela, ha tomado la decisión de atacar la investigación magistral, cuestionando el momento de su conclusión y planteando interrogantes al respecto.
También ha hecho comentarios contra periodistas y vinculando a algunos con lo que ha denominado “el establishment”. Es un camino peligroso, ya que puede resultar bastante amenazador para periodistas y miembros del poder judicial. También puede atemorizar a los abogados de la acusación y a los miembros del poder judicial que tendrán que conocer de los casos penales. No es el ciudadano medio, sino el Primer Ministro de una nación donde hay una diferencia y sus acciones son inaceptables.
Todo esto ha provocado protestas en el país, además de fuertes declaraciones de muchos sectores pidiéndole al Primer Ministro que deje de atacar al poder judicial y a los periodistas.
Los estudiantes universitarios se reunieron en Republic Street para protestar y condenar colectivamente los comentarios del Primer Ministro Robert Abela contra el poder judicial. Posteriormente, el Partido Nacionalista celebró su propia protesta frente al Parlamento, donde el líder del PN, Bernard Grech, criticó la decisión del presidente de la Cámara de no permitir un debate urgente sobre la reciente situación, y también dijo que la protesta tenía como objetivo 'proteger a la nación de Abela' y condenó las declaraciones ofensivas del Primer Ministro contra el poder judicial.
Más tarde, la República organizó una protesta, respaldada por 21 organizaciones, pidiendo una Malta limpia y condenando, entre otras cosas, las declaraciones del Primer Ministro contra periodistas y miembros del poder judicial.
Las protestas ayudan a mostrar el enojo de la gente por la situación y resaltan los problemas con los que la gente no está contenta. Las protestas son poderosas y el Primer Ministro debe absolutamente prestar atención a lo que dicen las personas de buena voluntad.
Debe pedir la destitución de Scicluna ya que su posición, aunque enfrenta graves acusaciones, no es sostenible. Debe retractarse de los comentarios que ha hecho sobre la investigación y sobre los periodistas. Esto es lo correcto para el país.

"Éditorial TMID : Le pouvoir des protestations
Le pouvoir d’une manifestation pacifique est là, aux yeux de tous. Le pays en a connu de nombreuses ces dernières années : des manifestations contre la cession de terres à Żonqor à l'Université américaine de Malte, des manifestations contre le déracinement des arbres et pour la protection de l'environnement en général, des manifestations appelant à la démission et à la fin de la corruption.
L'année 2019 a été un parfait exemple de l'impact que peuvent avoir les manifestations : à la suite de l'arrestation de Yorgen Fenech suite à l'assassinat de la journaliste Daphne Caruana Galizia, des manifestations ont éclaté dans tout le pays pour réclamer justice pour le journaliste assassiné, ce qui a entraîné la démission de celui-ci. Premier ministre, Joseph Muscat.
PUBLICITÉ
Aujourd’hui, les protestations éclatent à nouveau, cette fois liées au tristement célèbre accord sur les hôpitaux. La justice avait annulé l'accord l'année dernière, invoquant une fraude, une décision également confirmée par la cour d'appel, qui a utilisé le mot collusion dans son jugement.
Une enquête magistrale sur l'aspect criminel de l'accord sur les hôpitaux a récemment pris fin et des accusations ont été déposées devant le tribunal. Parmi les personnes inculpées figurent des hauts responsables actuels et anciens du pays. Parmi eux figurent l'ancien Premier ministre Joseph Muscat et son ancien chef de cabinet Keith Schembri, ainsi que l'ancien ministre Konrad.
Mizzi. Chris Fearne est également accusé, et il a fait le bon choix en démissionnant de son poste de vice-premier ministre et de ministre. Le gouverneur de la Banque centrale, Edward Scicluna, est également inculpé, mais il n'a pas démissionné… il devrait le faire pour ne pas nuire à sa réputation.
Tous, ainsi que les autres accusés, auront la possibilité de se défendre devant le tribunal, et ce sont les tribunaux qui décideront s'ils sont coupables ou innocents. Mais le Premier ministre, Robert Abela, a pris la décision de s'en prendre à l'enquête magistrale, en remettant en question le timing de sa conclusion et en soulevant des questions à son sujet.
Il a également fait des commentaires contre les journalistes et en a lié certains à ce qu’il a surnommé « l’establishment ». Il s’agit d’une démarche dangereuse car elle peut s’avérer très menaçante pour les journalistes et les membres du pouvoir judiciaire. Cela peut également semer la peur chez les avocats du parquet et chez les membres du pouvoir judiciaire qui devront entendre les affaires pénales. Il n’est pas un Joe moyen, mais le Premier ministre d’un pays où il y a une différence et où ses actions sont inacceptables.
Tout cela a donné lieu à des protestations dans le pays, outre les déclarations fermes de nombreux secteurs demandant au Premier ministre de cesser ses attaques contre le pouvoir judiciaire et les journalistes.
Les étudiants universitaires se sont rassemblés rue de la République pour protester et ont condamné collectivement les propos du Premier ministre Robert Abela contre le système judiciaire. Le Parti nationaliste a ensuite organisé une manifestation devant le Parlement, au cours de laquelle le leader du PN, Bernard Grech, a critiqué la décision du président de la Chambre de ne pas autoriser un débat urgent sur la situation récente, et a également déclaré que la manifestation avait pour but de ""protéger la nation d'Abela"" et a condamné les déclarations offensives du Premier ministre à l'égard du système judiciaire.
Plus tard encore, une manifestation a été organisée par Repubblika, soutenue par 21 organisations, appelant à une Malte propre et condamnant, entre autres, les déclarations du Premier ministre à l'encontre des journalistes et des membres du pouvoir judiciaire.
Les manifestations contribuent à montrer la colère de la population face à la situation et à mettre en lumière les problèmes qui ne la satisfont pas. Les protestations sont puissantes et le premier ministre doit absolument tenir compte de ce qui se dit des gens de bonne volonté.
Il doit demander le renvoi de Scicluna car sa position, bien qu'il fasse face à de graves accusations, n'est pas tenable. Il doit retirer les propos qu'il a tenus sur l'enquête et sur les journalistes. C'est ce qui est bon pour le pays.

"TMID-Editorial: Die Macht der Proteste
Die Kraft eines friedlichen Protests ist für alle sichtbar. Das Land hat in den letzten Jahren viele erlebt – Proteste gegen die Übergabe von Land in Żonqor an die American University of Malta, Proteste gegen das Entwurzeln von Bäumen und den Schutz der Umwelt im Allgemeinen, bis hin zu Protesten, die Rücktritte und ein Ende der Korruption fordern.
Das Jahr 2019 war ein perfektes Beispiel für die Auswirkungen, die Proteste haben können. Nach der Verhaftung von Yorgen Fenech wegen der Ermordung der Journalistin Daphne Caruana Galizia kam es im ganzen Land zu Protesten, die Gerechtigkeit für die ermordete Journalistin forderten, was zu dessen Rücktritt führte Premierminister Joseph Muscat.
WERBUNG
Jetzt kommt es erneut zu Protesten, diesmal im Zusammenhang mit dem berüchtigten Krankenhausdeal. Die Gerichte hatten den Deal letztes Jahr unter Berufung auf Betrug annulliert, eine Entscheidung, die auch vom Berufungsgericht bestätigt wurde, das in seinem Urteil das Wort „Kollusion“ verwendete.
Eine gerichtliche Untersuchung des strafrechtlichen Aspekts des Krankenhausgeschäfts wurde kürzlich abgeschlossen, und es wurde Anklage vor Gericht erhoben. Zu den Angeklagten zählen aktuelle und ehemalige Spitzenbeamte des Landes. Unter ihnen sind der ehemalige Premierminister Joseph Muscat und sein ehemaliger Stabschef Keith Schembri sowie der ehemalige Minister Konrad
Mizzi. Chris Fearne wird ebenfalls angeklagt, und er hat das Richtige getan und ist als stellvertretender Premierminister und Minister zurückgetreten. Auch der Gouverneur der Zentralbank, Edward Scicluna, wird angeklagt, aber er ist nicht zurückgetreten … das sollte er tun, um keinen Reputationsschaden zu verursachen.
Sie alle werden zusammen mit den anderen Angeklagten die Möglichkeit haben, sich vor Gericht zu verteidigen, und es sind die Gerichte, die darüber entscheiden werden, ob sie schuldig oder unschuldig sind. Aber Premierminister Robert Abela hat beschlossen, die richterliche Untersuchung anzugreifen, indem er den Zeitpunkt des Abschlusses in Frage stellte und Fragen dazu aufwarf.
Er hat auch Kommentare gegen Journalisten abgegeben und einige davon mit dem in Verbindung gebracht, was er als „das Establishment“ bezeichnet. Es ist ein gefährlicher Kurs, da er für Journalisten und Mitglieder der Justiz eine große Bedrohung darstellen kann. Es kann auch den Anwälten der Staatsanwaltschaft und den Mitgliedern der Justiz, die die Strafsachen anhören müssen, Angst einjagen. Er ist nicht der durchschnittliche Joe, sondern der Premierminister einer Nation, in der es Unterschiede gibt und seine Handlungen inakzeptabel sind.
All dies hat zu Protesten im Land geführt, abgesehen von energischen Erklärungen vieler Sektoren, in denen der Premierminister aufgefordert wurde, seine Angriffe auf die Justiz und Journalisten einzustellen.
Universitätsstudenten versammelten sich in der Republic Street, um zu protestieren und verurteilten gemeinsam die Äußerungen von Premierminister Robert Abela gegen die Justiz. Die Nationalistische Partei hatte später einen eigenen Protest vor dem Parlament abgehalten, bei dem PN-Chef Bernard Grech die Entscheidung des Sprechers des Repräsentantenhauses kritisiert hatte, keine Dringlichkeitsdebatte über die aktuelle Situation zuzulassen, und auch erklärt hatte, dass der Protest dies sei „Beschütze die Nation vor Abela“ und verurteilte die angreifenden Äußerungen des Premierministers in Bezug auf die Justiz.
Noch später organisierte Repubblika mit Unterstützung von 21 Organisationen einen Protest, der ein sauberes Malta forderte und unter anderem die Äußerungen des Premierministers gegen Journalisten und Mitglieder der Justiz verurteilte.
Die Proteste tragen dazu bei, die Wut der Menschen über die Situation zu zeigen und die Probleme hervorzuheben, mit denen die Menschen nicht zufrieden sind. Die Proteste sind heftig, und der Premierminister muss unbedingt darauf achten, was diejenigen guten Willens sagen.
Er muss die Absetzung von Scicluna fordern, da seine Position, obwohl er mit schweren Vorwürfen konfrontiert ist, nicht haltbar ist. Er muss seine Kommentare zur Untersuchung und zu Journalisten zurückziehen. Das ist das Richtige für das Land.

"Spa ġdida tiftaħ fiċ-ċentru ta' Great Falls
Qed tfittex post sabiħ biex tirrilassa? Studio Stiles huwa spa ġdid ta 'lussu fiċ-ċentru ta' Great Falls. Huma ospitaw ftuħ grandjuż il-Ġimgħa wara nofsinhar - kompluta b'ċerimonja tal-qtugħ taż-żigarella u trakk tat-taco.
Is-sid Tia Stiles u l-manager Jasmine Johnson iltaqgħu fi skola tal-kosmetoloġija fi Great Falls, u eventwalment fetħu l-ewwel Studio Stiles sitt snin ilu f’Malta.
Il-par huma eċċitati li jespandu s-servizzi tagħhom lill-komunità ta 'Great Falls. Is-sid Tia Stiles tgħid li l-għan tagħha għall-spa huwa li tkun “iffukata ħafna fuq il-parti lussuża tagħha. Allura, kun żgur li jkollok oasi fejn titbiegħed u tirrilassa. Aħna nagħtu t-ton meta tidħol b’xokk tas-saqajn u jew, taf, prosecco, kafè, tè, ilma, tkun xi tkun il-burdata tiegħek, u mbagħad nidħlu fis-servizzi tagħna.”
Filwaqt li l-spa joffri varjetà ta 'trattamenti tal-wiċċ, garżi tal-ġisem, u waxing, il-ġbid ewlieni huwa l-magna Neveskin tagħhom, apparat ta' sculpting tal-ġisem li jippromwovi l-issikkar tal-ġilda u t-toning.
Filmat: Landspout tornado fil-Montana

Stiles jispjega, “Ħafna nies semgħu dwar Coolsculpting. Huwa simili għal dak, l-istess xjenza, biss inqas invażivi, inqas riskju ta 'ħsara permanenti u teknoloġija aktar ġdida. Għandna xi għażliet ta 'toning sabiex jekk kellek, taf, trabi, telf ta' piż drammatiku huwa wieħed tassew kbir għalina. Jgħin biss biex tissikka dik il-ġilda.”
In-Neveskin jintuża wkoll għal trattamenti tal-wiċċ, inkluż li jdawwal u tissikka l-ġilda tal-wiċċ. Stiles jgħid li din hija għażla inqas invażiva għal dawk li qed iħarsu lejn botox jew fillers għal skopijiet ta 'kontra t-tixjiħ.

"新水療中心在大瀑布市中心開業
正在尋找一個放鬆的好地方? Studio Stiles 是大瀑布市中心的全新豪華水療中心。週五下午,他們舉辦了盛大的開幕儀式,並舉行了剪綵儀式和一輛墨西哥玉米餅卡車。
店主 Tia Stiles 和經理 Jasmine Johnson 在大瀑布城的美容學校相識,最終在六年前在馬耳他開設了第一家 Studio Stiles 工作室。
兩人很高興能夠將他們的服務擴展到大瀑布城社區。業主蒂亞·斯蒂爾斯 (Tia Stiles) 表示,她的水療中心目標是「非常注重其中的奢華部分。因此,請確保您有一個可以放鬆身心的綠洲。當你進來泡腳時,我們就定下了基調,你知道,普羅塞克、咖啡、茶、水,無論你的心情是什麼,然後我們就會開始提供服務。
雖然水療中心提供各種臉部護理、身體裹敷和打蠟服務,但最吸引人的是他們的 Neveskin 機器,這是一種可以促進皮膚緊緻和膚色的塑身設備。

Stiles 解釋說:「很多人都聽說過酷塑。與此類似,同樣的科學,只是侵入性較小,永久損壞的風險較小,且技術更新。我們有一些塑身選項,因此,如果您已經有了嬰兒,那麼顯著的減肥對我們來說確實是一件大事。它只會幫助收緊皮膚。
Neveskin 也用於臉部護理,包括提亮和緊緻臉部肌膚。史泰爾斯說,對於那些尋求肉毒桿菌或填充劑抗衰老目的的人來說,這是一種侵入性較小的選擇。
Studio Stiles 是蒙大拿州唯一獲得使用新型 Neveskin 認證的水療中心,也是全國第七家獲得其機器的水療中心,該機器於 2024 年 3 月剛發布。
約翰遜說:「你知道,整體技術不斷變化,教育也在不斷進步。我認為在我們的行業中,我們必須跟上這一點。所以這是新的、令人興奮的,就像只是學習可以幫助人們造福的東西一樣。
Studio Stiles 位於大瀑布城市中心 18 Fourth Street North,Suite A。

"New spa opens in downtown Great Falls
Looking for a nice place to relax? Studio Stiles is a new luxury spa in downtown Great Falls. They hosted a grand opening Friday afternoon - complete with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a taco truck.
Owner Tia Stiles and manager Jasmine Johnson met at cosmetology school in Great Falls, eventually opening the first Studio Stiles six years ago in Malta.
The pair are excited to expand their services to the community of Great Falls. Owner Tia Stiles says her goal for the spa is to be “very much focused on the luxury part of it. So, making sure that you have an oasis to get away to and relax. We kind of set the tone when you come in with a foot soak and either, you know, prosecco, coffee, tea, water, whatever your mood is, and then we'll go into our services.”
While the spa offers a variety of facials, body wraps, and waxing, the main draw is their Neveskin machine, a body sculpting device that promotes skin tightening and toning.

Stiles explains, “A lot of people have heard of Coolsculpting. It's similar to that, same science, just less invasive, less risk of permanent damage and newer technology. We have some toning options so that if you've had, you know, babies, dramatic weight loss is a really big one for us. It just helps tighten up that skin.”
The Neveskin is also used for facials, including brightening and tightening the facial skin. Stiles says this is a less invasive option for those looking at botox or fillers for anti-aging purposes.
Studio Stiles is the only spa certified in Montana to utilize the new Neveskin, and was the seventh in the nation to receive their machine, having just been released in March 2024.
Johnson says, “Overall technology, you know, it's constantly changing and education's always getting better. And I think in our industry we have to stay up with that. So it's new and exciting, Like just, just learning things that can help benefit people.”
Studio Stiles is located in downtown Great Falls at 18 Fourth Street North, Suite A. For a full list of services and to learn more about Studio Stiles, click here to visit the website.

"डाउनटाउन ग्रेट फॉल्स में नया स्पा खुला
आराम करने के लिए कोई अच्छी जगह खोज रहे हैं? स्टूडियो स्टाइल्स डाउनटाउन ग्रेट फॉल्स में एक नया लक्जरी स्पा है। उन्होंने शुक्रवार दोपहर को एक भव्य उद्घाटन की मेजबानी की - एक रिबन काटने की रस्म और एक टैको ट्रक के साथ।
मालिक टिया स्टाइल्स और प्रबंधक जैस्मीन जॉनसन ग्रेट फॉल्स में कॉस्मेटोलॉजी स्कूल में मिले, अंततः छह साल पहले माल्टा में पहला स्टूडियो स्टाइल्स खोला।
यह जोड़ी ग्रेट फॉल्स के समुदाय में अपनी सेवाओं का विस्तार करने के लिए उत्साहित है। मालिक टिया स्टाइल्स का कहना है कि स्पा के लिए उनका लक्ष्य ""इसके लक्जरी हिस्से पर बहुत अधिक ध्यान केंद्रित करना है। इसलिए, सुनिश्चित करें कि आपके पास दूर जाने और आराम करने के लिए एक नखलिस्तान है। जब आप पैर भिगोकर आते हैं तो हम एक तरह से टोन सेट करते हैं और या तो, आप जानते हैं, प्रोसेको, कॉफी, चाय, पानी, जो भी आपका मूड हो, और फिर हम अपनी सेवाओं में लग जाएंगे।
जबकि स्पा विभिन्न प्रकार के फेशियल, बॉडी रैप्स और वैक्सिंग प्रदान करता है, मुख्य आकर्षण उनकी नेवेस्किन मशीन है, एक बॉडी स्कल्पटिंग डिवाइस जो त्वचा को कसने और टोनिंग को बढ़ावा देती है।

स्टाइल्स बताते हैं, “बहुत से लोगों ने कूलस्कल्पटिंग के बारे में सुना है। यह उसी के समान है, वही विज्ञान, बस कम आक्रामक, स्थायी क्षति का कम जोखिम और नई तकनीक। हमारे पास कुछ टोनिंग विकल्प हैं ताकि यदि आपके पास, आप जानते हैं, बच्चों, नाटकीय रूप से वजन कम करना हमारे लिए वास्तव में बड़ा है। यह बस उस त्वचा को कसने में मदद करता है।
नेवेस्किन का उपयोग फेशियल के लिए भी किया जाता है, जिसमें चेहरे की त्वचा को चमकाना और कसना भी शामिल है। स्टाइल्स का कहना है कि बुढ़ापा रोधी उद्देश्यों के लिए बोटोक्स या फिलर्स की तलाश करने वालों के लिए यह एक कम आक्रामक विकल्प है।
स्टूडियो स्टाइल्स नई नेवेस्किन का उपयोग करने के लिए मोंटाना में प्रमाणित एकमात्र स्पा है, और उनकी मशीन प्राप्त करने वाला देश का सातवां स्पा था, जिसे अभी मार्च 2024 में जारी किया गया था।
जॉनसन कहते हैं, “कुल मिलाकर प्रौद्योगिकी, आप जानते हैं, यह लगातार बदल रही है और शिक्षा हमेशा बेहतर हो रही है। और मुझे लगता है कि हमारे उद्योग में हमें इसके साथ बने रहना होगा। तो यह नया और रोमांचक है, जैसे कि, बस ऐसी चीजें सीखना जो लोगों को लाभ पहुंचाने में मदद कर सकती हैं।

La propriétaire, Tia Stiles, affirme que son objectif pour le spa est « d'être très concentré sur l'aspect luxueux ». Alors, assurez-vous d’avoir une oasis où vous évader et vous détendre. Nous donnons en quelque sorte le ton lorsque vous arrivez avec un bain de pieds et, vous savez, du prosecco, du café, du thé, de l'eau, quelle que soit votre humeur, puis nous passerons à nos services.
Bien que le spa propose une variété de soins du visage, d'enveloppements corporels et d'épilations à la cire, le principal attrait est leur machine Neveskin, un appareil de sculpture corporelle qui favorise le raffermissement et la tonification de la peau.

Le Neveskin est également utilisé pour les soins du visage, notamment pour éclaircir et raffermir la peau du visage. Stiles dit qu'il s'agit d'une option moins invasive pour ceux qui recherchent du botox ou des produits de comblement à des fins anti-âge.
Studio Stiles est le seul spa certifié du Montana à utiliser le nouveau Neveskin et a été le septième du pays à recevoir sa machine, qui vient de sortir en mars 2024.
Johnson déclare : « Dans l'ensemble, la technologie, vous savez, évolue constamment et l'éducation s'améliore toujours. Et je pense que dans notre industrie, nous devons rester à la hauteur. C'est donc nouveau et passionnant, comme simplement apprendre des choses qui peuvent aider les gens.

[FIRST][LAST]
Atlantis Commission
Officer Report - Lieutenant Colonel John Shepard
CLEARANCE LEVEL 5
Well this had definitely been a very interesting couple of hours. This dimension and its people had very odd opinions and ideas. Apparently the prey species of this dimension were all obligate cowards, whose instincts compelled them to be non-violent and run from threats. At least according to themselves. There were apparently some of them who were “predator diseased” as they called it, a disease which often resulted in increased violence, aggression, lack of empathy, and unheard like behavior. It sounded to me like some form of infectious psychopathy, but the venlil assured us it shouldn't affect us since we were predators, which didn’t really ease my fears, but hopefully it was something we could figure out when we got home if it ever became a problem.
Gotta love mandatory quarantine periods woo hoo!
As scary as this odd disease sounded, my main concern at the moment was to try and turn a professed coward into someone who could at the very least defend themselves.
I looked down to the table of gear ahead of me and then over to the mostly naked Venlil to my side, and then even farther to Tiel’c who thought It would be a good idea to help oversee Farva’s rapid fire training course. I fiddled with the bluetooth earpiece which was rigged up to one of our handhelds to run a translation program to speak directly with the captain. A big step up from our unknowingly one sided communications earlier.
I stepped on the other side of the plastic table and placed my hands down upon it and looked on at my new student..
“Welcome Captain Farva to our very impromptu accelerated course on Human arms armor and basic infantry tactics.” I said gesturing to the hodge podge gear we had managed to assemble for the good captain. “Are we ready to begin?”.
She flicked her ears, somewhat nervously by the looks.
“I’d take it that's a yes then?”
“Oh yes sorry”
“Alright then, well given that most of our crew is human and the only other alien struts around naked all the time, the only gear we have on hand is for humans, So you're going to be running size smalls and it's all going to fit all a bit big” I say as I toss her the tactical vest. ”Here try this on, we can try to tighten it up if it's a bit loose anywhere”. The captain wrestles with the buckles a bit, and Teal'c helps her tighten up some of the top straps, as the Venil’s shoulders weren't as broad as humans. Farva gave Teal’c an odd look, but seemed appreciative none the less.Once finished, she grasped the vest in her paws with interest. “This armor seems quite lightweight, which is nice, weight is often an issue that causes us to forgo armor, since heavy armor would hurt our running ability.” Farva remarks. “Also the sheer amount of pockets seems quite excessive, what do you need all these for?”
“Well for starters it's currently missing these '' I hand Farva one of the armor plates which she looks over. “That is a depleted Naquadria ceramic composite plate. It’s designed to stop bullet impacts and dissipate energy weapon blasts. It slots into that chest compartment in the front and back of your armor.”
“This isn't quite what Id imagine for the armor of your kind”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well judging by your ships I would have imagined you would put more emphasis on defense Your predatory nature would make you less likely to run away from conflict allowing for more encompassing armor to cover more than just your chest, since you have less need to run.”
She would put it like that.
“Well there are a number of reasons for that, a lot to do with those excess pockets you mentioned. For starters you will not be carrying the same amount of gear that the standard infantry unit would normally be carrying, we are preparing you for a quick in and out op. Normally us expedition teams need to be deployed into unknown territory for extended periods of time, we need to carry everything we might need with us from food, bullets, weapons, to comms gear, sensors, repelling equipment etc. The weight from all that gear adds up fast; In order to stay sufficiently mobile and combat effective; we only carry enough armor to protect our vitals, head and torso, anything else can hopefully be patched up by a field medic.”
Tielc gave his piece as well. “It is important to know when to run both towards and aways from one's foes, not every battle can be won through strength alone, but by strategy and cunning. Being able to reposition oneself quickly is therefore highly advantageous”
Farva seemed to freeze at Teal'c's statement, not out of fear I think, she instead had a distant look in her eye. To snap her out of her slump I handed her a standard ballistic helmet.
Seeming to get the idea she looked at it oddly and tried it on. It confirmed to her head shape decently well but depressed her ears to either side of her head, kind of resembling what one might imagine a sad bunny rabbit to look like “I don't think this will be something I can bring with me” she said ” I can't use ear signals and this will muffle my hearing.”
“Why don’t you keep it on for the time being, I think any extra hearing protection might be useful considering what we are about to try next.” I hand Farva some ballistic ear protectors, slightly modified and somewhat ramshackle. “One of the corporals worked closely with Nurse Fila to get an idea for safe decibels levels for your kind, we were also able to get these earbuds molded to fit into your ear canal better”
Farva took them and slipped them in. “These are a bit uncomfortable, what do I need these for?”
“You'll need them for this” I say as I unsnap the clasps on the weapons case revealing its contents.
The content seems to capture Farva’s interest, getting a slight tail wave.
“Okay So this here is a p90, It carries a 50 round top loading magazine of teflon coated armor piercing ordnance. With a cyclical rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute.”
Farvas ears perk up at this. “This seems like an efficient design, I take it these are a flashlight and laser sight for accuracy?” She asked, pointing to the top of the weapon.
“Yes we also have holographic and acog optics which will help line up targets from farther away.” I look on as Farva picks up the weapon and inspects it, testing the weight as I note that it will weigh a fair bit more once loaded. But she doesn't seem to be struggling with the weight. I can't help but notice good firearm safety as well, she keeps her finger well off the trigger and takes care to keep her weapon pointed aways from anyone else.
“This seems like a solid design but I'm not sure how useful those weapon optics would be, as they are not designed for my side facing eyes”
“I'm sure our master at arms can figure something out, why don't we give it a test fire first tho, before we send it off to make adjustments.” I instruct her on how to load the weapon and turn the safety off. I warn her of the sound it makes. And while definitely taken aback by the recoil and sound at first, she quickly gets the hang of it, she has some respectable shot groupings in both single fire and in short bursts. And keeps the rounds reasonably centered while firing in full auto.
She did a whole lot better than I would have initially suspected given her performance in the hanger bay a day before.
“The rate of fire seems useful” Farva spoke “This would be useful for our soldiers, our accuracy falters when we are panicked, and the increased shot count should guarantee some hits based on volume of fire alone” she finished with a dejected expression.
She quickly places the weapon back in its case, as if it burned to touch.” I don't know if I should be armed for this mission, at least not with that weapon, I don't want to miss and hit one of you in the back!”
“What? Nonsense, you are a great shot, and this is just a precaution in case we get separated or flanked and need some covering fire. If our guys are doing their job right you shouldn't need to fire a single round anyways.”
Captain Farva’s breathing started to hasten, earlier I might have thought it was fear, but I was starting to get an idea of what the captain's issues were. I’ve seen this before.
“I.. I can’t be trusted with this responsibility, every time I am left in charge of something, every time people put their lives in my paws I ....”
“Farva, don’t you start with me now you hear.” I said sternly, swiftly capping off her inevitable spiral of self doubt.
“But.. no.. you don’t understand”
Stopping her again I spoke. “But nothing, what happened before on that ship, and back at that colony is in the past. I don’t know your whole situation, but from what I have gathered from the crew It was nothing good. You feel responsible and it's eating away at you, and frankly it doesn’t matter if that's true or not. Accidents happen, people make mistakes, and when that happens we need to learn, take those lessons to heart, and don't let it stop us from helping people in the present. If you let guilt, or fear of mistakes stop you, then bad guys have already won, all without having to have fired a shot”
Farva is quiet for a short time, I was hoping I got through to her, I'm not the best and pep talks and this certainly wasn’t your typical weapons demo, if only everyones could go as smoothly as Ronan’s.
Farva spoke quietly, arms pressed up against her chest, she looked so sad, defeated, and small. Well more than usual anyways. “We can't be strong like you humans, we are too emotional and when we are scared we run away or we lock up and...”
“And that is clearly not the case with you captain Farva” Teal’c finally reentered the conversation having heard enough. “You have shown courage with every action you have taken so far, your actions have saved the lives of many of your crew, every time you have been threatened you acted not just to protect yourself but others as well. You attempted to contend with beings many times your size without even thinking about it, all in the effort to protect others, and this is only in the time we have known you, this speaks nothing of your actions over the colony. You are a warrior of admirable courage Captain Farva, your self doubt is unearned.”
A single tear rolled down Farva’s eyes which she quickly wiped away. “That was very nice of you to say, but I'm not brave like you say, I was terrified out of my mind the whole time.”
Teal’c looked puzzled. “I did not call you brave, I said you were courageous.”
Farva shot back with the little venlil one up one down ear flick I had very quickly learned was confusion.” I'm confused you just said brave twice”
“Hmm it appears your language does not contain the word I am using, I apologize I am not used to speaking through a translator” Teal’c relented “ There are two words I am using admittedly in slightly different forms, bravery and courage. Bravery or to be brave is to lack fear, to not be afraid to begin with. Courage tho, Is a trait far more admirable. Courage is to be afraid, to have fear, to worry about one's own mortality and personal safety. It is to acknowledge risk, danger, to feel fear, but to act in spite of it.”
“Had I not met your kind before I would have thought predators don't feel fear.”
“Everyone fears feel Farva, It is how we overcome it that determines our worth as warriors”
Teal’c picks up the p90 and returns it to Farvas hands.
“Your people need a warrior Farva, a warrior who protects the innocent and guides the lost to safety. You have shown how collected you can be in the heat of battle, You have already proven your worth in our eyes Farva, now you must do the same in your own. The greatest enemy lies not without” Teal’c places his hand firmly on the venlil’s chest “But within”.
After Action Report - Venlil Colonial Defense Force
Subject : Chief Engineer Donu
I fiddled with my holopad, Its small surface area proving to be a consistent source of annoyance in my current endeavor. Gone was the large workspace afforded to me by my holotable back in my office. Instead I had to work with the scaled down portable holotablet I was just fortunate enough to have strapped to my person when I was beamed away from our last ship. I was stuck with its smaller keyboard and slower rendering speeds.
An annoyed smooth skin alien looked over my shoulder at my device, attached to it was a jury rigged fiber optic cable, slotted into a terran silicon to crystal patch cable, which would convert the electrical signals broadcasted by my tablet into a bandwidth that the terrans crystalline based computers; which they used for highly complex tasks like hyperdrive and transporter systems; could use, and then It was patched again in a even stranger connector to patch into the odd asgard computer stones.
All in all it looked like someone tried to plug a regular computer into some crystal construct like you would find in a fantasy holonovel, and again plugged that into a harchen heat rock sauna lounge. Finally branching out from this conglomeration was a simple copper based wire that connects to a computer terminal at which currently sat the late Doctor Rodney Mckay. A title upon initially hearing led me to believe he was a medical doctor, which led to a flurry of medical questions that he had absolutely no means of answering.
While this odd alien nomenclature was interesting, what intrigued me more was his actual area of expertise, theoretical astrophysics, as well as a number of other diverse specialties and fields. Not to mention not only was he a great scientist who had he been raised in the more civilized portion of this galaxy, would have knowledge and aptitude that would put him alongside some of Aafas greatest minds, but he was also an engineer without peer, at least in this galaxy. His interactions with general Samantha Carter hinted at her possibly being his match if not more. For a species that was supposed to glorify violence the decision to have a scientist be arguably the most senior member of what was by their admission a military vessel spoke to their commitment to knowledge and understanding, a very noble prey-like goal.
I looked warily at the lines of code at my screen, the asguard translation program had earlier scanned our ship and was able to parse written languages, but complex files, like images and 3d design schematics were harder to encode and decode from our perspective systems. As is stands we have 3 completely separate computer architectures, the asguard can talk to human computers and the venlil computers can talk to the asguard computers, It sounds like we would have everything we need to get a human C.A.D schematic into a venlil holotablet right? Wrong! And you're stupid for entertaining such a idiotic notion! Parsing text from raw binary is relatively straight forward, you're just looking for patterns, repeating bit combinations that might infer letters and then iterating them over millions of times looking for patterns, letters, words, and then with a bit of help from some undecoded analog audio transmission, spoken language. This is a far cry from actual procedural communication protocols,the ones that allow for file transfers, exactly what we needed if we were to get Rodney's redesigned part schematics into a format and medium that can be plugged into a suitable fabricator. Assuming one still exists, which I can reasonably assume it does.
Speaking of which, I have just made something of a breakthrough. For upon my screen appears a simple geometric hydrogen cube, we’re talking vertices, planes, material data, everything we need for a usable design file.
I let out an excited pent up yip, the culmination of hours of frustrating software integration work. Unfortunately I startled Rodney, who lets out a panicked gasp and clutches his chest pelts with one of his paws.
“Oh god…..” He gasps, pointing at me “Please.. don’t do that”
“Sorry!” I say a bit meekly. I slowly approach him so as to not make him unnecessarily uncomfortable and show him my work.
“I got the file exchange set up, all we need from you is to finish any modifications to your part, upload them to my holopad, and then we can print away at any class 3 or above fabricator we can scrounge up on Brayga colony.”
“Ok.. um.. got it, I'm almost done i’m just you know” He points a lone grasping appendage at his screen,”Running some simulations, making sure everything is up to spec.” keeping his response kurt. “Sorry for freaking out there.”
I nod my head in the human display of affirmation and return to my workstation to further bug check my work, to test potentially problematic edge cases for when he finishes. Tho Rodney's continued odd behavior intruded on my thoughts.
I should have felt empowered, being able to intimidate this ‘massive beast’, but I didn't. I didn't like being feared, his people have been nice to me, Rodney himself courteous to a fault and desperate for positive attention.
I thought I could expect predators to be fearless but that clearly wasn't the case, rodney was fearful, nervous, had I not known better I would say defective, and while it annoyed his crew, they didn't berate him for it, or attempt to assert dominance, they encouraged it even with placating words and tried to help him through it, they encouraged and supported him like a proper herd, even if sometimes it took the form of what the human would call a playful ribbing. I supposed I could help him as well.
I approached him again, careful to make my approach known to him, making sure to approach from within his limited field of vision. He looks up at me with a wide eyed glare, had I not known him I might have assumed it was hunger, but I did and knew it to be concern.
“Uh high Donu.. um whats up?”
“Why are you afraid of us rodney?”
“Wa-What, me afraid?” he gives out a panicked laugh ”uh no no, I'm not afraid, you know just a bit weirded out I'm just getting used to you all, it's not a fear thing it's a a…. Just getting used to new aliens thing, ask Hermirod we went through this whole song and dance right buddy”
Hermirod furrowed his brow and gave an irritated sigh from across the room.
I reached out to take Rodney by the paw.
His whole body flinched at my mere touch, I quickly withdrew my paw.
“Oh.. um.. I didn't…”
“Rodney! It's okay, your crew doesn’t seem to care when you show fear, and neither do I. Why are you afraid of us? You are almost twice our size and surely double our strength, most venlil would scream and run in terror at the mere sight of you. What's wrong?”
Rodney let out a sigh. “Oh its, we don't have to talk about this, I can deal with this, I deal with scary situations all the time, it's fine, I'll be fine.”
“Rodney, my people are a very emotional, empathic people, we are open with our feelings and with our fear, and the fear of the one can affect the herd, please let me help you. I don’t know what to expect from your society but I promise I wont judge you for your fear or emotions, I mean look at many of my crew mates, we are no one to judge”
Rodney shot back “You didn't seem to be so bothered”
“I’m too old to care, I was about to retire, hell I was about to die as far as I knew, Brayga colony was supposed to be a quiet place to lay back, work on some hobbies, plant a garden and pester the young men of my colony until I either dropped dead of boredom or got lucky” I joked.
That seemed to raise Rodney's mood somewhat. He sighed and seemingly relented.
“It’s… a dumb story, I don't even know why it affected me so much, I come from a place on earth called Canada, people don't usually believe me when I say I am from there, us Canadians are notoriously friendly and I guess I haven’t exactly filled that mold for a lot of my life, but hey I'm working on it, people like me, I have lots of friends back at Atlantis” He says the last sentence in a way as if it isn't me he's trying to convince.
“I'm sure you do, Rodney, You seem like quite the charming individual when you're not cowering!”
“Ha ha thanks, maybe you could come and visit sometime. Tell that to doctor Becket, really nice guy, smart man, he would love to meet you, he loves investigating new species. But back on topic, oh boy, so me and my sister Jeannie were on a family trip to rural Vancouver to visit my grandpa's farm, he kept a lot of goats, not for eating or anything, they were essentially pets that he would use for milk”
“Wait hold on? You drink milk from other animals! Do your females not produce enough milk for their young?”
“Oh um no, we just sort of drink it or ferment it into cheese!”
“Ferment? You mean spoil?
“Yeh”
I reeled from this plasma blast of a statement, I like any right minded venlil had a number of nightmares about being an arxur’s cattle before, especially when I first learned about those things in primary school, but never once had it crossed my mind that we could be used for something so weird. What the speh was I supposed to do with that information?
“Maybe you should get back on topic”
“Yeh sorry about that uh.. Anyways the momma goat had just had a litter of babies, and their real cute when their little, so late in the day when my grandpa was asleep we snuck out to the pens so we can play with the little baby goats, our grandpa told us not to but you now how kids are.”
At this I think back to a young Nyan, as I teach him the inner working of the hyperdrive, I tell him he’s not cleared yet to operate in this engine compartment alone, but I could tell from the occasional caught black hairs and dropped writing implements, there had been a number of curious unauthorized expeditions into its inner workings, he didn't really listen either.
“My sister as always was trying to be the voice of reason, wanting to take it slow. If I was paying attention I might have noticed the angry moma goat who didn’t appreciate the strange human messing with her children.”
The color seemed to drain from his face.
“I uh…” He began to stutter again ”I screamed, a lot, it was rather undignified, she ran right at me, thank god it wasn't a male goat, one with horns, I tired to run but I was hit in the back and knocked over and kicked real good in the head, like wake up in the vet clinic a quarter mile down the road kind of bad”
“This goat was a prey animal?”
“That would be what your kind focuses on”
“Oh sorry”
“Anyways It seems dumb but I have just never been good with animals since then, especially ones that look like you; no offense; I'm getting better but when I first saw you guys in the hangar bay, I was just that dumb kid again, getting in way over my head, scared for my life. I guess there is something to be said about childhood trauma. I really should be over this, I'm getting better with it I swear it’s just”
I take his paw again, he doesn't flinch this time.
“I'm a venlil, a prey animal, I know fear, I know what it is to live in fear, It rattles your brain, it turns your paws to wet grains. It takes great strength to overcome it, to push it aside just long enough to protect the herd. Your herd relies on you Rodney and you are doing a great job in spite of your fear, in spite of having to work with those you fear. You have achieved intellectual feats that rival the greatest minds of the federation and all that while struggling with a traumatic experience. Fear isn’t dumb and there is nothing wrong with you for feeling it.”
“Thank you” Rodney says “That means a lot, I won't be like forever I promise, I just need some time.”
“We will laugh about this someday,” I assured. “Nothing as big and intelligent as you should be afraid of anything”
“Are you calling me fat?” Rodney exclaimed with fake offense.
We both chuckled.
My kind words had resulted in a more upright posture, and a more cheerful demeanor from the human, almost like when I congratulated Nyan on his work, and it got me a look at that happy snarl of his, that I was starting to grow quite fond of.
After Action Report - Venlil Colonial Defense Force
Subject : Apprentice Engineer Nyan
Oh wow! I get to write a report for this mission! I never get to write reports, Donu says they're too boring, but there’s so many interesting things going on all the time. Sometimes I sneakily write my own! Just for fun of course, nobody sees them, which is probably for the best as I sometimes get excited and embellish them slightly. One of the reports I wrote was about the time Donu used nothing but a wad of electrical tape, a bottle of high grain venlil alcohol and a pocket knife to repair a venlil medical ship just in time to get out of the way of a big scary space predator, with glowing red eyes and a million tentacles!
Anyways Im not sure If im suppose to write these In present tense first person or past tense. I asked the captain and she said it's whatever so long as I make sure any pertinent dialogues are properly quoted(“”).
“Nobody usually reads these things anyways.” She said, but this one is surely going to be so exciting, who could look away!
I mean who's gonna scoff at a chance to read about friendly predators from another dimension! A dimension of friendly predators who give warm head scratches and hand out yummy strayu not strayu treats called donuts, that are somehow fluffier than strayu, and have a nice moisture to them. I asked for the recipe but Samantha said we wouldn't have the ingredients back on Venili prime to make them, and Teal'c said the recipe is an old family secret. Its weird predators would be so protective of their plant snacks.
There are so many weird things about these predators, they have nurturing instincts that make them find us cute. They stay perfectly balanced even if they don’t have tails, swinging their arms and body all over the place to keep upright like a lopsided gyroscope, it's pretty funny looking!
They also wear artificial pelts all the time, which I thought was weird, I thought maybe the ships temperature was set by the angry gray alien since he’s the only crew member beside the venlil who walks around naked all the time, maybe he had a fit when it was to warm, and the humans obliged him cause they were worried they would make him even angrier, and wore clothes to make up for the cold. I thought this made sense, a lot of their technology does seem to come from the Asguard, maybe he has more say in the goings on of the ship because of that. But apparently humans just like wearing pelts all the time. They feel uncomfortable without them and don’t like it if you try to remove them or look up their upper artificial pelts they call shirts.
The humans are so weird, I don’t even have to embellish my reports to make it more interesting. Like that time with the big tentacled space predator. That may sound real compared to this stuff but it Isn't, Ha! I bet you fell for it at first, hook line and sinker! Like the humans would say. I think I used that saying right, I'm not sure what it means, but Shepard brought it up when he was telling a story about the wraith.
The humans are so nice, instead of exterminating their predators they try to cure them! Their doctors are working to modify the wraith so they don't have to eat humans anymore, so they can be friendly predators too.
Anyways I should probably get to the actual report part of this report. Farva says I should start after I went off with Samantha to work on some special astrophysics equations she said I would be good at. I kind of wanted to go with Donu to help Rodney get the new parts they needed, or Farva to help rescue our people, but the humans and even the angry gray alien got really weird when Farva mentioned taking me on the mission. Samantha seemed to want me to help her really badly so I didn’t mind. Samantha says I have the most important part to our mission. She's teaching me about how humans communicate through subspace, and about stellar drift equations. We are working on what she calls the exit strategy.

Dan għaliex b’ton sarkastiku qalu, “merħba għall-futur mill-aqwa tagħna” u żiedu wkoll żewġ emojis ta’ dinusawru. Fir-ritratti hemm koppja b’familja fl-1980 u koppja b’żewġt iklieb fl-2024. Minn kif wieħed jista’ jifhem din il-kitba, skonthom konna aħjar fl-1980 meta l-maġġoranza tal-koppji riedu li jibnu familja u jkollhom it-tfal.
Fil-kummenti xi nies qalu lu huwa kuntenti li qed jgħixu fl-2024 u li kuntenti li flok tfal għandhom il-klieb. Oħrajn ma qablu xejn magħhom u qalu li jippreferu jibnu familja milli jkollhom il-klieb.

Iż-żminijiet inbidlu u Malta bidlet ukoll, u ma jista’ ħadd jiddetta ħaddieħor x’jagħmel fil-ħajja privata tiegħu.

"「歡迎來到我們最美好的未來」——這就是馬耳他
每個人都用自己的一生做自己想做的事。
透過簡短的文字和一張照片,「這就是馬耳他」頁面成功地在評論中引發了爭議。這是因為他們用諷刺的語氣說“歡迎來到我們美好的未來”,並且還添加了兩個恐龍表情符號。照片中是 1980 年的一對夫婦和一家人,以及 2024 年的一對夫婦和兩隻狗。從如何理解這篇文章來看,根據他們的說法,我們在 1980 年更好,當時大多數夫婦都想建立一個家庭並生孩子。
有些人在評論中表示,他們很高興生活在 2024 年,也很高興沒有孩子,而是養了狗。其他人則不同意他們的觀點,並表示他們寧願組建家庭也不願養狗。
廣告
時代變了,馬耳他也變了,沒有人可以決定別人的私生活。有些人決定不生孩子,並將一生奉獻給他們心愛的動物,這並沒有錯。每個人都值得被愛,動物也不例外。

"""Welcome To Our Best Future"" - This Is Malta
Everyone does what he wants with his life.
Through a short text and one photo, the This Is Malta page managed to stir up controversy in their comments. This is because in a sarcastic tone they said, ""welcome to our amazing future"" and also added two dinosaur emojis. In the photos there is a couple with a family in 1980 and a couple with two dogs in 2024. From how one can understand this writing, according to them we were better in 1980 when the majority of couples wanted to build a family and have children.
In the comments some people said that they are happy that they are living in 2024 and that they are happy that instead of children they have dogs. Others disagreed with them and said they would rather build a family than have dogs.
ADVERTISEMENT
Times have changed and Malta has also changed, and no one can dictate what others do in their private life. There is nothing wrong with some people deciding not to have children and dedicating their lives to the animals so dear to their hearts. Everyone deserves to be loved, and animals are no less.

"""हमारे सर्वोत्तम भविष्य में आपका स्वागत है"" - यह माल्टा है
हर कोई अपने जीवन में वही करता है जो वह चाहता है।
एक संक्षिप्त पाठ और एक तस्वीर के माध्यम से, दिस इज़ माल्टा पेज अपनी टिप्पणियों में विवाद पैदा करने में कामयाब रहा। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि उन्होंने व्यंग्यात्मक लहजे में कहा, ""हमारे अद्भुत भविष्य में आपका स्वागत है"" और दो डायनासोर इमोजी भी जोड़े। तस्वीरों में 1980 में एक जोड़ा अपने परिवार के साथ है और 2024 में एक जोड़ा दो कुत्तों के साथ है। इस लेखन को कोई कैसे समझ सकता है, उनके अनुसार हम 1980 में बेहतर थे जब अधिकांश जोड़े परिवार बनाना चाहते थे और बच्चे पैदा करना चाहते थे।
कमेंट्स में कुछ लोगों ने कहा कि वे खुश हैं कि वे 2024 में रह रहे हैं और उन्हें खुशी है कि उनके पास बच्चों की जगह कुत्ते हैं. अन्य लोग उनसे असहमत थे और उन्होंने कहा कि वे कुत्ते पालने के बजाय परिवार बनाना पसंद करेंगे।
विज्ञापन
समय बदल गया है और माल्टा भी बदल गया है, और कोई भी यह तय नहीं कर सकता कि दूसरे लोग अपने निजी जीवन में क्या करेंगे। इसमें कुछ भी गलत नहीं है कि कुछ लोग बच्चे पैदा न करने का निर्णय लें और अपना जीवन उन जानवरों के लिए समर्पित कर दें जो उनके दिल से बहुत प्यारे हैं। हर कोई प्यार पाने का हकदार है और जानवर भी कम नहीं हैं।

"""Bienvenidos a nuestro mejor futuro"" - This Is Malta
Cada uno hace lo que quiere con su vida.
A través de un breve texto y una fotografía, la página This Is Malta logró generar polémica en sus comentarios. Esto se debe a que en tono sarcástico dijeron “bienvenidos a nuestro asombroso futuro” y además agregaron dos emojis de dinosaurios. En las fotos hay una pareja con familia en 1980 y una pareja con dos perros en 2024. Por lo que se puede entender en este escrito, según ellos estábamos mejor en 1980, cuando la mayoría de las parejas querían formar una familia y tener hijos.
En los comentarios algunas personas dijeron que están felices de vivir en 2024 y que están felices de que en lugar de niños tengan perros. Otros no estuvieron de acuerdo con ellos y dijeron que preferirían formar una familia que tener perros.
ANUNCIO
Los tiempos han cambiado y Malta también ha cambiado, y nadie puede dictar lo que otros hacen en su vida privada. No hay nada de malo en que algunas personas decidan no tener hijos y dedicar su vida a los animales que tanto quieren. Todo el mundo merece ser amado y los animales no lo son menos.

"""Bienvenue dans notre meilleur avenir"" - C'est Malte
Chacun fait ce qu'il veut de sa vie.
Grâce à un court texte et une photo, la page This Is Malta a réussi à susciter la polémique dans ses commentaires. En effet, sur un ton sarcastique, ils ont dit « bienvenue dans notre incroyable avenir » et ont également ajouté deux émojis de dinosaures. Sur les photos il y a un couple avec une famille en 1980 et un couple avec deux chiens en 2024. D'après la manière dont on peut comprendre cet écrit, selon eux nous étions meilleurs en 1980 lorsque la majorité des couples voulaient fonder une famille et avoir des enfants.
Dans les commentaires, certaines personnes ont dit qu'elles étaient heureuses de vivre en 2024 et qu'elles étaient heureuses d'avoir des chiens au lieu d'enfants. D’autres n’étaient pas d’accord avec eux et disaient qu’ils préféraient fonder une famille plutôt que d’avoir des chiens.
PUBLICITÉ
Les temps ont changé et Malte a également changé, et personne ne peut dicter ce que les autres font dans leur vie privée. Il n’y a rien de mal à ce que certaines personnes décident de ne pas avoir d’enfants et consacrent leur vie aux animaux qui leur tiennent à cœur. Tout le monde mérite d’être aimé, et les animaux ne le sont pas moins.
