Hello, and welcome to my Rogue guide. It is currently a work in progress and will only walk you through levels 1-20 while providing you a description of the class at later levels. I plan to expand upon this later and include a walkthrough for higher levels as well as possibly some PVP tips, set descriptions and locations, and how to build your character if you want to spec to be a perma lvl 50 or lvl 45 for battle square (group pvp mode). That being said, if you are new to the game and looking for some reasons to play a Rogue or a simple guide on leveling a thief from level 1-20 this should get you started.
Rogues are an excellent PVE class with a very fluid style of play. They are great at mobbing and have a variety of AoE melee type skills that hit the area surrounding the player. As the most acrobatic class, many of their skills and movements involve flipping, jumping, spinning around with their duel wielded claws (the rogues weapons of choice), and other entertaining antics and shenanigans.
While they excel mostly in PVE and could even be considered underdogs in PvP, rogues are able to evade stack, obtain a decent amount of movespeed, lock and mob opponents fairly easily, and when played correctly, they can hold their own with many of the other classes and can be quite rewarding and fun to play.
In missions, it will often be your job to rush ahead of your allies and mob large groups of monsters, leaving the rest of the group to clean up what you leave behind. Skipping over smaller groups and saving them for the others will be key if you want to complete missions quickly. In PVE the Rogue class relies mostly upon the skills Final Decision, Upper Screwdriver, and Windmill. I encourage you to watch videos to familiarize yourself with some of the classes skills as well as the other classes before deciding that Rogue is for you. Below is a skill demonstration video. In other versions the class names are different and you will often encounter players who refer to bandits as jesters or rogues as harlequins. THQ used those names for the class as well. They are the same thing, so do not be surprised if you here the class called by one of those names.
Our moonwalk skill turns us into an astronaut instead of MJ due to potential lawsuits.
Before we get started, let us talk a little bit about the various stats in the game. The main stats for Rogues are agility, health, aim rate, evade, movement speed, and critical damage. Mostly you will be focusing on health, agi, and aim for leveling purposes. Survivability and being able to hit monsters is key in PVE. A little bit of movement speed can also be fun as a rogue, especially since it increases the speed of our windmill skill, but you will not be seeing move speed on many equips any time soon. It can be found rarely as a soul craft option on boots as well as some accessories for level 40+ characters. If you manage to get a character card from a quest (currently unavailable, but you might be able to get one in the future) you can also get movement speed from the card. Don't fill the card out until you have looked at a guide or checked with a friend as your choices affect the stats you get. Evade is mostly for pvp and you need a lot of it in order for it to be effective (30-300+ depending on level). Prioritize evade last and only worry about it if you are planning to stop leveling and focus on pvp. No matter how high your evade is, a player's hit rate on you will not go below 30%. Keep that in mind if you are ever planning to stack evade. For the most part, you will probably be out growing most of the equips you get at lower levels fairly quickly, and you don't need to worry about equips too much, but understanding stats will give you an idea of what is best to use during your adventure. Generally, aim on accessories, and health or agi on armor will be what you are looking for equip wise.
Increases your characters physical damage by a small amount. This can be noticeable at the beginning of your adventure, but later on the damage will not be noticible when compared to the benefits of enchanting your weapon. This is not an important stat for Rogues and suprisingly any class for that matter.
Increases mp, magic damage, and magic attack. Extra mp is kind of nice, but we deal physical damage. There are other stats that are much more important than int.
Increases your hp and gives you a small amount of defense. Good for rogues.
Increases evade rate, accuracy, and defense. Good for rogues.
This stat allows you to hit monsters that are higher level than you in PVE and hit evade stackers in PVP. I would recommend around 160-200 aim if you are planning to fight monsters 5-10 levels higher than you. In order to get an idea of your ability to hit someone in PVP subtract their evade from your AR and you should get the approximate percent that you will hit (if the number is below 30 your hit rate will be 30% since this is the lowest that hit rate can go).
This will make enemies miss you, but not unless you have a decent amount (30-200+ depending on level). During endgame many pvpers have 300+ evade. Rogue is able to stack evade, but aim and health should usually be prioritized first. Hit Rate cannot go below 30% for monsters as well, so you always have a chance of getting hit no matter how high your evade is. This can invariably mean death if you rely purely upon evade.
You will deal more damage when you crit. It's good for PVE and dealing with high defense PVPers. Pretty self explanatory.
This stat is a bit deceptive. It might seem good at first glance, but the bonus percent is relative to your base crit rate rather than 100%. Example: If you crit 2% of the time and have an accessory that gives you 5% crit rate your total crit rate would be 1.05 x .02 = .021 or only 2.1%. If a players says that something gives absolute crit rate, they are saying that for that particular equips the bonus is added rather than multiplied to the base. Absolute Crit Rate equips are just labeled with crit rate, but they are usually IM items or rare equips. Except for the few items with absolute crit rate, cr is a terrible stat. Don't get it.
Self Explanatory. Makes you run faster. Lots of fun and good for pve as well as catching opponents and avoiding them in pvp. The base is 150, so percent movespeed gives more of a boost than regular movespeed.
Increases the defense of the piece of armor that it is on by the amount listed. This will not help you very much unless you have enchanted your armor to a high level (+15 or higher) and the armor naturally has high defense. Useless stat for the levels covered in this guide.
Rare stats found on some accessories and IM equips. Will make you take less of the type of damage listed by percent listed. Not bad, but you won't be able to get enough of it to make much of a difference. It's mostly for endgame mages. Don't worry about it. Health, agi, aim, and evade are better.
Increases physical attack. Not terrible stats to have on a weapon. Max is better than min.
Increases magic damage. You are not a mage.
Thieves use their speed, stealth, and intelligence to their own advantage. Their stealth and agility allows them to gain the upper hand in any battle by positioning themselves in advantageous position against any foe. Thieves count on close quarters combat to search out weak spots within an enemy's defense and exploit it to their own needs. It's not easy to find a thief and by the time you see one, it may already be too late.
Sounds pretty good, but the Dragon Saga website does not tell us that thieves are the most difficult class to level from 1-20. Most of our skills do relatively low damage. We lack the mobbing ability of warriors and do not have the range of archers or magicians. As the humble thief, the rogue starts off as the worst PVE classes available, but don't worry. If you are not daunted and have the bravery and skill to reach level 20, you will soon be able to job advance to bandit, one of the better PVE classes. For now, stay on your toes. If you are new to the game you may find soloing missions to be very difficult during these early levels. There are many bosses and groups of monsters inside the missions that can kill you quite easily if you are not paying attention and are not quick to react. You will also find the MM runs to be quite slow if you solo; therefore, I strongly encourage you to join a party for mission maps (MMs) whenever possible. It will make things easier. You will finish the mission faster and get more experience. With that in mind, let us begin.
- Enter channel 1. Being on the recommended channel for your level will give you an experience boost and you are more likely to find players around your level.
- Complete the tutorial. You will get a helpful gift box, which contains a variety of nice items you can receive as you level up (skill reset, feathers to revive you if you die, some pots, etc).
- Red quests are hero quests, which are your primary quests. These are important for advancing the storyline. Yellow quests (adventure quests) are less important, but still offer decent exp awards.
- You can press "L" to bring up the quest log and complete many quests directly from the log. This will save you the time of running back to the npc.
- Hold Z and let go once the bar is charged to do a "charge attack". This will be useful against some bosses at these low levels.
- Press y to open the community tab where you can form a party and edit the party name. Click a person who has a party name above their head to request to join.
- To whisper someone type /w CharacterName then press enter.
- Click menu and go to keypad setup to change your keys around or see what various keys do.
- Make sure to buy potions from the potion seller in town and put them on your skillbar. Keeping your mp up so you can use skills and your hp up will be important. Mobs do high damage during these early levels.
- Bosses cannot be launched, stunned, or knocked down.
- When you see a boss about to attack quickly dash to the side or away to evade. Most attacks won't hit you in the air, but beware of lag.
- Press esc to skip the boss intro when entering a boss map. If one player does not do this, everyone must watch the scene. It gets annoying for players who have seen it 100 times. Press esc! I cannot emphasize this enough. If you do not feel convinced of the importance of this, please see Miname's guide on being pro!
Before you leave town, it should be noted that there are two exclusive medals that you can only get during this point in the game. They are "God Like Control" and "Grind Master". In order to see your medals press J to go to open your journal and go to the medals tab. Feel free to explore the rest of the journal as well, especially the quest section. Some medals offer decent stats when you equip them, and one of the ways to complete the 4th job change way later is to get 70k achievement points by collecting medals. The two exclusive medals are obtained by obtaining 2nd job on the first day of playing and reaching 2nd job without dieing. If you like to collect things and want these two medals feel free to try to become a bandit post haste and meet the requirements, but these are not the best medals in the game, and they are not needed in order to do the 4th job change by any means, so trying to collect them is entirely up to you.
Your main objective at this point will be to do hero quests, since they will walk you through the story and also help you to reach level 20. Simply follow the quest line, and when you are required to do a mission, do not hesitate to join a party or make your own. You should also focus on familiarizing yourself with the various skills available/recommended to you and gaining control of your character. If you don't know what to do, at some point, don't hesitate to look back at your journal. You can see the quests available to you, and from the quest section you can also tab between all quests and main quests. Feel free to do the adventure quests as well. Most of them are conveniently located in the same area as the hero quests and are easy enough that it is pretty much free experience.
It should be noted that groups of ranged mobs (axe throwers and shamans) and the axe brothers, Sangka and Kungka (boss of traitor ridge and canyon of oblivion respectively) are some of the most dangerous opponents you will face inside of the mm. Do not run directly at a group of ranged monsters or you will likely get mobbed. Instead pick off the ones on the side or work with your group to launch the mobs so they can not attack. When fighting Sangka and Kungka play it safe and watch them to figure out what moves they are going to do. If the Axe is vertical it will be thrown at you. Get to the side and wait. It comes back like a boomerang. Also, watch out for their spins. They will either do a quick spin at you or spin in place for a long time. Getting stuck in the long stationary spin can result in death via groundlock, but by standing just out of range you can spam them with ranged attacks (z charge and rocket punch). Bosses only go after one person at a time and can be kited and distracted fairly easily. You can usually get their agro off of you and on to someone else by continually jumping or jump dashing away.
At level 19 you will be able to pick up a quest called "Fellowship entry test begins" in Port of Winds. This quest line marks the end of this stage and will eventually lead you to become a member of the dragon fellowship, granting you your job advancement! Note that part of this quest line requires that you go to the culverts. They can be accessed from Port of Winds. I've seen a number of players ask where the culverts are, but you should have no problem finding them or any other location if you are using your map. Make sure to equip your gas mask that you got from a quest or you can die from poison.
Description: Launches standing enemy into the air.
Description: Hits airborne enemies for low damage. In pvp, will not hit a player who has aerial recovered.
Recommended Level: 5 for leveling purposes if planning to skill reset. Level 1 after skill reset or if not planning to use.
Reason: Main source of damage at low level, but mostly used for combing and assisting archers Anti Air Shot skill in pvp at later levels.
Reason: Longer animation and cooldown than air combo launch. Most of our skills are ground based.
Description: Shoot downwards and attack enemies from above. After being launched, this skill can help you get back on the ground more quickly. Launches at level 3.
Reason: Having this skill at 3 will make leveling to 20 easier. The launch can be followed up with aerial frenzy.
Reason: Good damage below lvl 20. Higher level gives a higher chance of stun. Good catch skill in pvp.
Description: Upgrades the damage of rocket punch.
Reason: Rocket punch is a low damage skill that is only used to stun the enemy.
Description: Launches an enemy that is lying on the ground.
Reason: Most of our skills are ground based.
Description: A chance of dealing an extra attack during your x attack combo.
Reason: Only level to 1 if you want to buff archers to help the speed of their AAS skill or priests double shot at later levels. Otherwise useless.
You should focus on hero quests, but f4 will provide a good source of experience if you run out of hero quests or feel that you want to gain an extra level or two before moving on to the next area. Adventure quests and field grinding is fine as well, especially when you can't seem to find a party. You can always do your hero quests later, and IIRC, you do not even have to do any quests until lvl 19 to be able to job change (requesting confirmation on this).

Looking for the perfect partner for the dishes of summer? It's hard to beat the versatility and crispness of the new roses.
Don Rockwell is the host and moderator of Donrockwell.com, an online forum for food lovers in the Washington area.
This area has a wonderful bounty in the summer months—crabs in the bay, cornfields in the plains, family-owned farms and orchards dotting the hillsides, tomatoes in garden plots, and watermelons available almost everywhere. And to wash it all down? Nothing goes better with our summer delights than a good bottle of rose.
But not all roses are equal. Picking the right ones will turn an ordinary cookout into a special occasion. Here are some classic summer specialties, each paired with a rose available at local wine retailers. Enjoy your meal—I'll be toasting you with a hot dog and a rose of my own.
Chilled watermelon: 2005 Tegernseerhof Rose-Zweigelt (Kremstal, Austria). Watermelon and rose are both succulent fruits of the vine and almost identical in color. This very pale, bone-dry Zweigelt, a grape indigenous to Austria, has the acidity to balance the sugar in the watermelon; a fruitier wine would seem as intrusive as a trombone in a Brandenburg concerto. Adding a sprinkle of Maldon salt to the watermelon will amplify the minerality of the Kremstal soil and make you reach for a second glass. $13.99 at Daily Planet in Alexandria; imported by Select Wines (703-631-8100).
Chilled cucumber salad with yogurt and dill: 2004 Akakies, Ktima Kir-Yianni (Macedonia, Greece). This wine, whose name means "acacias from Sir John's Estate," is made from the red-wine grape Xinomavro and comes from the only appellation-controlled rose region in Greece. Vinified like a white wine, this rose is delicate enough to pick up the nuances of summer cucumber but has the body not to be flattened by the challenges of yogurt and dill. $9.99 at MacArthur Beverages in DC; $9.99 at Silesia Liquors in Fort Washington; imported by Sotiris Bafitis Selections (202-483-5436).
Slices of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil: 2005 Domaine Bellevue Touraine. Made with 100-percent Cabernet Franc, this Loire Valley wine is a varietal that some wine lovers bypass because of its green-pepper aromas. Alongside the fresh basil in this classic Caprese salad, these aromas are elevated to full advantage. You'll be going back and forth between salad and wine, wondering if you're imagining what you're smelling: This is the definition of synergy. $8.99 at Whole Foods in Vienna, $8.99 at Rodman's in DC; imported by Elite Wines (703-339-8150).
Cold fried chicken: 2005 Chateau de Segries Tavel (Provence, France). Because chicken has a different texture cold than it does hot out of the frying pan, this dish presents a challenge. The fatty skin will reject a wine that's too light, but the relatively mild chicken meat will be dominated by something too powerful. Balance is the order of the day, and this wine delivers. "Useful with food" is not just a catch phrase here—if more wines were this food-friendly, more people would drink wine. $11.99 at Calvert-Woodley in DC; imported by Kysela Pere et Fils (540-722-9228).
Grilled hot dogs with mustard: 2005 Rose de Calon. Hot dogs might seem unlikely companions to a wine from a fabled Bordeaux estate (Chateau Calon Segur), so just call them saucisses en croute a la moutarde and enjoy the fireworks on your palate. This Bordeaux rose is a separate Appellation Controlee in France, but the juice in this wine was bled off the vats of the Grand Vin itself and heralds from the commune of Saint-Estephe. $14.99 at Calvert-Woodley (202-966-4400).
Grilled hamburgers with ketchup: 2005 1+1=3 Cabernet Sauvignon (Penedes, Spain). If you like a Cabernet Sauvignon with a steak, just wait till you try this rose with a hamburger. Red-hot importer Aurelio Cabestrero, who used to be sommelier at Marcel's and Taberna del Alabardero, brings in this wine made from grapes hand-harvested from 25-year-old vines. $15.99 at Arrowine in Arlington, $15.99 at Silesia Liquors; imported by Grapes of Spain (571-642 0343).
Peach cobbler: 2004 Domaine Tempier (Bandol, France). If Muhammad Ali were a rose, he'd be the Domaine de Tempier. Fermented until dry and weighing in at 14-percent alcohol, this wine is agile, lithe, and a perfect match for this classic summer dessert. Strong enough to withstand the buttery cobbler, this rose is taken to another level by the sugars in the peaches—an excellent example of how sweet food is often best enhanced by dry wine and vice versa. $29.99 at the Vineyard in McLean; imported by Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant (510-524-1524).
Steamed crabs with Old Bay seasoning: 2005 Domaine Aubert la Chapelle Coteaux du Loir. The most interesting rose I've had in months seems on the surface to be an odd choice with this beloved regional specialty. Try the wine on its own and you'll discover honey and black pepper in the nose. These two scents highlight and complement the sweetness of the crab and the spiciness of the seasoning. A magical combination that must be tried to be believed. $13.99 at Arrowine, Rick's Wine & Gourmet in Alexandria, and Ace Beverage in DC; imported by Potomac Selections (301-583-8844).
If you decide to pile the whole picnic onto a single plate, any of these wines will work just fine, as will most Rieslings, Gruner Veltliners, Beaujolais Villages, Pinot Noirs, beer, and soft drinks. But after that last bite of cobbler, you'll need something refreshing, and the Veuve Fourny & Fils Premier Cru Rose Champagne (Vertus, France) fits the bill. Nothing is more restorative after a multihour feast than a flute of not-too-serious Champagne, and the Veuve Fourny Rose not only has the fizz to cut through all those calories but also 40-percent Pinot Noir and a touch of oak making it full-bodied enough to work as a digestif. $39.99 at the Vineyard; imported by Simon 'N' Cellars (434-997-4476).

EV Technology Group's Strategic Partner MOKE International Returns Original MOKE Brand to America After 40 Years
17 Oktober 2022 - 01:00PM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
EV Technology Group Ltd. (the "Company" or "EV Technology Group") (NEO: EVTG, OTCQB: EVTGF, DE: B96A) announces that its strategic partner MOKE International Limited ("MIL" or "MOKE International") will bring the MOKE brand back to America after 40 years, with the more powerful and highway-legal Electric MOKE Californian – a zero-emissions reimagination of the original 1964 Mini Moke. MOKE International owns the original 1964 British Motor Corporation Moke trademarks and is recognized in over 100 jurisdictions as the owner of the Moke brand.
The Electric MOKE Californian
The Electric MOKE Californian is hand-crafted in the United Kingdom to the same high specifications and standards as the Electric MOKE that recently went on sale in Europe, but its name is a US market-specific tribute to the 1977 Moke Californian – an uprated version of the Mini Moke that was sold in America and ceased production in 1982.
This is the first time a genuine version of the original Mini Moke has gone on sale in the US in more than four decades, and the first time a highway-legal version of the original Mini Moke has been available in America, with a top speed of 50mph (80kph). Fully charged, the Electric MOKE Californian offers a range of 80 miles (120km) – enough to cruise Route 101 down to Malibu Beach from Santa Barbara. A full charge takes four hours on a US Type 1 charger.
MOKE International is the first 1960s brand to go fully electric, reinventing the Mini Moke through zero-emissions technology to continue its legacy as a design icon and beloved beach accessory.
Isobel Dando, CEO MOKE International, said: "This is a momentous time for MOKE International. It's great to be able to offer the US market a genuine MOKE car for the first time in 40 years. The original Moke Californian represented an incredibly important chapter in the company's rich history; we are proud that the MOKE lives on and can be enjoyed in the electric era."
Wouter Witvoet, Founder and CEO of EV Technology Group, said: "The MOKE Californian's return to US soil solidifies our approach to electrifying iconic brands. As we partner with iconic brands such as MOKE, we don't just help them to transition to electric, but most importantly we delve into the brands roots and help to continue to write its history. As a company traded in the US via the OTCQB, there has already been a lot of interest in seeing our vehicles live in the US, so we expect that this announcement will be met with great excitement."
The Electric MOKE Californian's pure bloodline
MOKE International, maker of the new Electric MOKE Californian, continues the legacy of the legendary Mini Moke, but reinvented for the electric era. The Mini Moke was born in the heartland of Britain's automotive industry, created by the father of the Mini, Sir Alec Issigonis.
With prototypes built by the British Motor Corporation in 1959, developed under the codename 'The Buckboard', the Mini Moke was originally intended to be a lightweight military vehicle that could be parachuted into warzones and help troops traverse rough ground quickly. Marketed domestically as a utility wagon for farmers and workers, it quickly found legions of fans across the globe, especially in the South of France and Australia, where its rugged nature and open top design made it the ultimate beach shuttle. Loaded with surfboards and refreshments, with the wind running through your hair, life was for living.
Countless admirers including The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Brigitte Bardot – all seen driving the Mini Moke in glamorous seaside locations like the French Riviera and the Caribbean – cemented its status as an icon of the Swinging '60s.
While there were many variants of the original Mini Moke made before production ceased in 1993, perhaps the most exciting and desirable was the Moke Californian, which was sold in the US from 1977-1982. Styling-wise, it was a departure from the Mini Moke's utilitarian look which made it popular with a young, fashion-conscious crowd in sun-drenched locations like Playa del Rey and Cayucos.
Still built in the UK, the new Electric MOKE Californian embodies all of the same qualities of the original – fun, freedom, fresh air – but plays its role in keeping some of the world's most beautiful locations clean through zero-emissions technology.
Using a 44hp electric motor and weighing less than 800kg, the rear-wheel-drive Electric MOKE Californian covers 0-34mph (0-55kph) in 4.3 seconds and achieves a top speed of 50mph (80kph). A full charge takes just four hours via a Type 1 port and the Californian covers up to 80 miles of range on a single charge. Further details on when the Californian will go on sale in the US, as well as pricing, will follow in the coming weeks.

The mark was acquired from Casti S.p.A. and derives from the original 1964 British Motor Corporation registration. The MOKE is a revitalized, re-engineered version of the iconic Mini Moke that was originally designed by the legendary Sir Alec Issigonis, the designer of the 1959 Mini, and launched in 1964. The Mini Moke was created as a low-cost and easy to maintain recreational and utility vehicle, but it quickly gained cult status in fashionable resorts such as the French Riviera and the Caribbean. It has been driven by Beatles, Bridget Bardot and James Bond alike. MOKE International has brought the Mini Moke into the modern age by integrating up-to-date driving technologies, including full electric power, while remaining faithful to the iconic design which made it a global hit in the 1960s. True to its heritage, MOKEs today are engineered and built in Northamptonshire, England. Production takes place at a 500,000sq ft state-of-the-art facility owned and operated by British automotive manufacturing services company, Fablink Group.

TCM Presents: Nocturne Infernum by Elizabeth Donald
Posted on October 1, 2015 October 1, 2015 by admin
I wanted to kick off October with something awesome, and when I found out Elizabeth Donald was touring her latest book, I definitely wanted to be part of the tour. I had a blast doing panels with her at Imaginarium, and she's a fantastic author with a lot of insightful things to say.
Print Kindle B&N
Nocturne Infernum includes the original three chapters in the Nocturnal Urges series, an alternate version of present-day Memphis in which vampires walk among us, but are not treated as our equals. They work the night shift, the jobs no one else wants, and they're not too happy about it. Meanwhile, humans take advantage of the pleasures vampires can provide, but call them friends? Lovers? The gap between human and vampire stretches wide as death rises in the streets of Memphis.
Nocturnal Urges. It's the most popular club in the Memphis nightlife. Part legal bordello, part feeding ground for the city's vampires, Nocturnal Urges offers pleasure and pain in one sweet kiss. It's the ultimate addiction: both drug and sex at once. For the vampires, it's the only way to survive in a world where the creatures of the night are a dark underclass, ignored until the humans need another fix.
Into this world comes Isabel Nelson, a young woman seeking only a night's pleasure. But after Isabel's lover takes her to try the bite, she cannot stop thinking about Ryan, the dark vampire with whom she shared her lifeblood – and who is now suspected of murder. Isabel falls into a world where passion and love are miles apart, where life and unlike have little meaning… and someone is hunting in the shadows.
A More Perfect Union. Samantha Crews has lived a long time in the shadows of Memphis, working at Nocturnal Urges and hiding from the vampires that darken her past.
Det. Anne Freitas is stuck with a new partner, a young woman with a chip on her shoulder. Now they're assigned to investigate a series of threats against congressional candidate Robert Carton, for whom Samantha volunteers.
But Samantha is falling for Danny Carton, the candidate's son – an idealist who wants to make life better for humans and vampires alike. But there's a lot Danny doesn't know about Samantha.
He doesn't know she's a vampire.
He doesn't know she works at Nocturnal Urges.
He doesn't know his own father is one of her clients.
And he doesn't know what's stalking her…
Abaddon. The Lady Zorathenne requests the honor of your presence at a celebration. A toast, if you will. Followed by a feast.
Beneath the dark Memphis streets, something is stirring. Filled with ancient fury. Seeking revenge on the ones who live above. A revenge born in fire.
The fires are ranging in Memphis and no one is safe. Ryan and Samantha must descend into darkness beyond their imagining to find answers to the mysteries of the past, as Detectives Freitas and Parker seek the truth about the present.
And the return of an old foe could make the future a dark place indeed… save for the flames of Abaddon.
SJ: Every writer has some sort of process. Give us a glimpse into yours. Do you meticulously outline? Do you write depending on what calls are out there?
ED: There is an anthology for absolutely everything, from climate change speculative fiction to Christian inspirational werewolves. So I will frequently write to a call. Some of the calls are truly creative, and spur an idea. Other short stories are inspired by life, random thoughts or weird dreams after too much wine at dinner.
The novels, on the other hand, are self-generated. I never used to outline, but publishers are remarkably picky about knowing what the book is about before they'll offer a contract, the twerps. So I started to outline, and found that it sometimes helps keep me on track when I get stuck. However, I have no problem whatsoever with flinging the outline into the nearest fan if I decide the story needs to go in a different direction.
SJ: Bonus question – Do you put on a cape and do a chant before hunkering down to work? Sacrifice anything? Along with your process, what's your quirkiest writing habit?
ED: My quirkiest writing habit is probably my wrap ceremony. When I have finished a story or novel, I break out my authentic replica White Star Line wineglass and have a drink. I picked it up at a Titanic exhibit shortly before I finished my first real novel. I celebrated that accomplishment by drinking wine from that glass, and since then, I only drink from it when I finish a piece.
SJ: Are you a meticulous planner or do you believe in the muse? Where do your ideas come from? Do they filter in through your dreams? Do they show up at inopportune times and whap you upside the head? Do they result in a shady deal with a dark power?
ED: I see no difference between believing in the muse and being a meticulous planner. I plan my work carefully, and then that wench shows up and throws live snakes into the plan. I used to transcribe conversations with my Muse, who is a chain-smoking, angry woman in a black leather jacket with a knife scar on her arm and lives in the basement of my mind, using a heavy bag whenever she's not screwing up my stories. It's really annoying that her occasional swings through the story generally make it much better than my meticulous plan.
Where do my ideas come from?
Schenectady. There's an idea service there that sends you a six-pack of ideas every week. That smartass answer is to be attributed to Harlan Ellison, who uses that answer every time he's asked where his ideas come from. As he says, "Aristotle can't answer that question." They come from the ether, from Neverland, from the place between awake and asleep. I believe just about everyone gets ideas – random creative thought-balloons that float through their minds. The trick isn't getting ideas. The trick is grabbing hold of them when they come, winding the ribbons around your hand and letting them carry you off to Neverland. When you learn how to harness ideas and turn them into stories you can share with others, you've become a writer.
SJ: What's the book/story that's closest to your heart? Is there a piece that you clearly feel is a piece of you? Do you play favorites?
ED: You might as well ask me to pick a favorite child! Certainly I feel as though some of my books and stories are better written than others, and some were more fun to write than others. But I will say that the best book I have ever written has not yet been published, and I am committed to getting that book out someday.
SJ: If you could only write one genre ever again upon pain of being sacrificed to Cthulhu, what would it be and why?
ED: Horror, I suppose. Everything I write has a little bit of horror in it, whether it's science fiction or fantasy or mystery or even romance. That darkness flows into everything I write.
SJ: What's your biggest frustration as a writer? What do you consider the downside, or is there one? Is there any cliché that makes you want to wring people's necks?
ED: My biggest frustration is probably time. I am a newspaper reporter, which is a job I truly love and requires a great deal of time, energy and dedication. I am a wife and a mother. I am also chapter president of a journalism organization, on the vestry of my church and sing in the church choir, serve on a national ethics board, advisory board for a campus newspaper and am a team captain for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. That's in addition to running the author cooperative Literary Underworld, a separate local writers' group and side work as a nature and art photographer. The downside of being a writer is that all these projects eat up an enormous amount of time and energy, and sometimes there simply aren't enough hours in the day and enough of me to go around. But I suppose everyone feels that way at some point or another. The cliche that writers – especially writers who work at home – do nothing but sit around and eat bonbons all day, that's probably the one that drives me mad. As Harlan Ellison says, actual foot-pounds of energy are expended in writing, whether that writing is in the form of news, blogs, articles, essays or novels. It is hard work, and should be treated and respected as such.
SJ: If you had to be stuck in one of your own books/stories for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? If you had to stick a loved one in one of your own books, what would it be and why? An enemy?
ED: I wouldn't mind living in the Blackfire world, if the zombies weren't rising. It's not the easiest life, working for a paramilitary organization to fight supernatural beasties and keep the general public safe. But I loved writing that team, and delighted in coming up with new critters for them to face – nearly all drawn from real myths and legends from various cultures, which is a fascination of mine. Things don't often turn out perfectly for my Blackfire team, but I rather like their adventures. At least until the zombies show up.
My friends are pretty resourceful folks, so I might put them in the Sanctuary stories about Earth after we are occupied by an alien force. The resistance movement needs them. My enemies, if I have any, can go to Dreadmire. The undead cannibal elves will be pleased to make their acquaintance.
SJ: Do you think it's possible to develop a sure-fire recipe/formula for success as a writer? Would you want to, or does that compromise the art or the fun of it?
ED: If you've got that surefire recipe for writing success, please share! For James Patterson, it seems to be hiring a staff of co-writers and giving them outlines so he can put out 20 books a year. That works for him, but I wouldn't trade writing my own books for… um, most of his money. Sure, you can package yourself and sell the sizzle instead of the steak. And you might make money that way. But then you have to ask yourself, why are you writing? For me, and for most of the writers I know, we're doing it because we love the written word and we hear music that calls us to dance. The best thing about becoming a runaway financial success would be the time and freedom to write whatever you want, publish it, and still pay the rent. Once you've reached that point, why would you stop doing the writing part? Wasn't that the whole point?
SJ: Everyone has words of wisdom for young writers, so I'm not going to ask you about that. With a few unknown writers becoming success stories, a lot of people seem to think it's an easy career choice. What would your words of wisdom be to these people?
ED: I've said this before: the biggest challenge for beginning writers in this modern era is impatience. The ability to toss a book out onto the internet the instant you type THE END has put a lot of aspiring writers on fast forward, and the temptation to skip all that bothersome editing, submission and working with a publisher is very real. The problem is that most aspiring writers have a lot to learn, and we learn a great deal from the process, including rejection and wrestling with a recalcitrant editor over a comma. Skipping that process is generally the biggest mistake they can make, and so many of them do. Patience, grasshopper. Good writing eventually finds a home, and at the end of the marathon, it's going to be a book you'll be proud to call your own and a launch to a writing career.
SJ: It seems like everyone likes to gang up on certain genres as being inferior, less meaningful, or cheap entertainment (especially if it's speculative in nature). Make a case for the genre you write.
ED: I hardly need to fight for horror; the monsters just eat those who would mock us. There generally seems to be a preconception that people who write horror are bent or twisted in some way, and that's only partly true. But there's also a preconception that science fiction writers are nerds, that romance and erotica writers have actually done all the perverted things they describe, that mystery writers are obsessed with murder. None of that is actually true. We write what we love, and clearly there are a lot of people who love it too. If there's a genre I think doesn't get enough love, it's science fiction. It is the genre that forces us to look in a mirror, that uses other worlds and other times to show us things about ourselves that might be hard to face. Those who dismiss it as mindless ships banging into each other in an improbable future are missing the point.
SJ: What do you want people to instantly think of when they hear your name or your work mentioned?
ED: I hope they have come to expect a story that pulls them in through the hole in the paper and puts them in another place or time, with interesting people doing exciting things. I hope they laugh and cry and throw the book (but not the iPad!) and that they forget to stop reading so they can get some sleep before work the next morning. Or that they can't sleep, because the teddy bear under the bed might get them. What I hear from my readers is that they expect to come to care about my imaginary friends, and then watch them die horribly. For a horror writer, that's high praise. But it's that first part that counts: They care. That means I've done my job.
SJ: Please tell us about your latest/favorite work or a little bit about what you're working on right now. It's plug time, so go for it!
ED: My latest release is Nocturne Infernum, a compendium that collects my three Nocturne vampire novels into one volume for the first time. It's a trio of mysteries set in an alternate-history Memphis in which vampires walk among us, but they are treated as second-class citizens without the same rights as full humans. It's a world based on the Jim Crow laws, and the vampires are getting peeved at their treatment. In the first part, a serial killer seems to be knocking off the clients of a vampire-run sex club in the seedy part of Memphis. In the second, someone is threatening members of a Congressional candidate's staff as the debate rages about whether vampires and humans should be allowed to marry. In the third, someone is killing the human half of vampire-human couples with fire. It's not easy stuff, not happily-ever-after romances despite the, er, occasional naughty sex scene. It was delightful fun to revisit those stories, and reminded me how many more stories wait to be told in the Nocturne world.
In the meantime, I'm working on a pulp space action-adventure novel, and I've recently finished compiling a short-story collection that should come out sometime next year. If only I can find the time…

Veterinarians for Equine Welfare: New Organization Shines Light on the Slaughter Debate, Counters Status Quo of Politics
(WASHINGTON, D.C.), March 14 - A group of veterinarians from all disciplines has created the new organization Veterinarians for Equine Welfare (VEW) out of concern about what they feel is misinformation being transmitted to the public regarding the national debate on horse slaughter.
Members of VEW believe that the veterinary profession's integrity is being undermined by the hard-line stance of individuals whose opinions have been swayed by unfounded logistical concerns, as opposed to what should be a primary concern for animal welfare.
VEW organizers consulted with representatives of the horse industry, the field of equine rescue and the humane community to respond to their concerns, with the goal of facilitating a dialog that will improve the life-quality of all horses. The group feels that it has been common practice in the veterinary profession to marginalize animal welfare advocates, and the veterinarians involved in VEW believe that it is time for a change.
"As a veterinarian, my first concern is for the health and well-being of my patients, which come from all walks of equine life. They represent the spectrum from equine royalty to wild horses," said VEW Founding Executive Committee Member Nena Winand, DVM, PhD. "I support VEW and the dialog it has engendered, because I believe it will truly strengthen our ability to improve the life-quality of all of our patients.
"The coalition recently launched www.vetsforequinewelfare.org as a resource to educate other veterinarians, animal health professionals and horse owners about the options available for day-to-day proper treatment of horses, and to provide humane information and options to those who can no longer care for (or must end the lives of) their horses.
"The views of individual vets are, and should be, more respected than any 'body' that represents them, as they are aimed at educating politicians and laymen alike on issues that have escaped their attention," said Theo Antikas, DVM, PhD. "In the words of Heraclitus, 'education is the sun to the educated.' It is hoped that educated vets will put an end to the unwarranted, immoral suffering of horses prior to and during slaughter."
The website will also serve as a forum to inform other veterinarians, horse owners, politicians and the American public about the truth behind horse slaughter, a practice that has never been considered a legitimate form of euthanasia by veterinary professionals or organizations.

Empire- "Past Is Prologue"
Empire begins three weeks after Jamal being shot. The Lyons throw an intimate welcome home party for him, and there Veronica sings a new song, "Hourglass," Hakeem wrote; and wants them to sing at his wedding. Jamal, is seemingly wheelchair bound and tearful as she sings and then tells his family he appreciates the vote of confidence in him, but he is never doing music again. He tells them until their cycle of violence and drama ends, he will not return to the stage. The family feels he is just tired and needs rest. Lucious thanks him again for saving his life and promises him they will get one of the best physical therapist in the country to help with his rehabilitation. Jamal dismisses him and tells him to help Freda, feeling she is a victim in all of this too. Leah warns her grandsons that their are paying for the sins of Lucious' father.
Later, Cookie talks with Lucious about Jamal, feeling something may be mentally wrong with him. Lucious tells her the doctors say he can walk, he is just choosing not to. Anika walks in on them to tell them about the Feds questioning her, she refused to give them any information. Thirsty warns them she will be subpoenaed. Rhonda busts into the room and then attacks Anika, punching her in the nose, and accusing her of pushing her down the stairs! Security and Andre break them apart. Rhonda becomes angry when he tells her he does not believe Anika hurt her. She leaves him on the spot! Later, Lucious and Cookie discuss their issue with The Feds. The former reveals the part they played in the murder of a few drug dealer who could testify against them for past crimes in court. He also tells Cookie two of their former allies keep in touch with him and are tight lipped about anything that has transpired. Their final loose end is a hitman, Leslie 'Shyne' Johnson (Xzibit) who they must silence or get on board.
Cookie goes to see Shyne and convinces him not to snitch to The Feds and in return she will get Hakeem to perform one of his songs and allow him to come to his wedding. Meanwhile, Andre and Hakeem return Jamal to his home. He tells them he will be fine, but seems saddened when they leave. In the elevator, Andre reveals to Hakeem that Rhonda has left him and gone to LA to start a jewelry line with a college friend of theirs. Lucious goes to visit Freda and lies to her, telling her that he did not kill her father, and took interest in her out of hope for a better life for her, and not pity. She feels horrible about what happened to Jamal. He brings a phone with some beats on it and she freestyles on it. Later, he takes the song to Jamal, who still refuses to perform in front of him. When he leaves he listens to the song and then begins to add to it. His creativity is renewed and begins to work on a song for Hakeem's wedding–produced by D-Major. D-Major is glad to work with him, but concerned about his health. At Empire, Cookie and Lucious' meeting is interrupted by Hakeem who brings them to Anika–preparing to jump over a ledge. Cookie manages to talk her down and tells her she is now a Lyon, like she has always wanted to be. Lucious promises she will not be served and will have security around her at all times.
Xzibit as "Shyne"
At dinner, Laura's parents express concern over Shyne attending the wedding due to his violent background and ask that he be uninvited. Hakeem stands by his parents' invitation and declares to them that he will keep Laura safe and end the cycle of violence pervading their lives. At the wedding, things seem to go off without a hitch. Laura gets ready while Hakeem mingles with the guest before taking his place. Lucious and Cookie talk with their friends and assure them all loose ends have been tied up. Shyne, however, arrives to the wedding with four girls in tow, loud, and obnoxious. As the wedding begins a court courier dressed as a server serves Anika! Security tries to stop her, but Shyne inadvertently knocks him out, causing a ruckus! Laura sees her wedding in a disarray and refuses to marry Hakeem, not wanting their violent lifestyle. Lucious makes everyone leave as he and his family regroup. He tells them he has to marry Anika to keep her from having to testify. Thirsty assures her there is no other way. Cookie reluctantly and angrily agrees. She tells her boys she would do anything for her family, but that Lucious was too much. She leaves angrily. Anika and Lucious get married and as he walks her down the aisle he tells her he knows she pushed Rhonda. Anika excuses herself to the balcony for some air. As the others prepare to leave, Tarik confronts Lucious and congratulates him on his nuptials. Leah reveals Tarik is Lucious' half-brother, and that their father was murdered for his infidelity! On the balcony, Rhonda attacks Anika and a fight ensues! They try to force each other off the balcony. One, or both of them, falls before Andre can reach them!
Empire returns in September for a third season!

The other day we mentioned our computer failure on my personal laptop, and that a new hard disk drive was on the way to me. Well, now that it is here, I am having the grand fun of reinstalling all of my computer software again. This is a process I went through just two months ago when the computer was brand new, and it reminds me of the physical backups you have to make as well as to the ones you do with your data.
Whenever you buy software, whether it be a physical disk or a download, you are presented with a serial number to activate your software. You need to keep this in a safe place because if you ever need to reinstall your software, you're going to need that number again.
For physical media, I store all the disks in a CD case where I cut down the paper with the serial number to fit in the sleeve with the disk, allowing for easy storage and organization. For software I download, I file all the emails with the serial numbers into one mail folder as well as print off a copy to keep with my physical media for ease of locating it.
Losing the serial numbers is as bad as losing the disks all together, so you need to make sure to take care of them as you would a piece of currency worth the value of the program. Lose them, and you're sunk in an emergency.

INISTER OF THE THIRD REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA.
"For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he
commanded our fathers that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born, who should arise ånd declare them to their children, that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments." -Psalm lxxviii. 5, 6, 7.
AMONG our many national sins, there is none more likely to provoke divine chastisement, yet less considered or repented of, even by Christians, than ingratitude for political blessings. That there are evils among us, no one will deny; that changes might be made for the better, it were unreasonable to doubt; and, concerning methods of removing evil, or working good, we may differ widely, yet honestly. Evil is inseparable from human nature, the best human schemes are capable of improvement, and human opinions must be various, because they are fallible. It is a narrow, unthankful spirit, which, brooding over imperfections, or sighing after greater advantages, or bitterly condemning all who think not the same way, refuses to perceive and acknowledge the vast benefits we actually enjoy. Never was there a revolution at once so just and so successful as that which won our country's independence; never, except in the Bible, have the rights of man been so clearly and truly defined as in our constitution; never did greater success attend a social experiment than has followed ours. Since the establishment of our confederacy, tumults, insurrections, and violent changes, have been busy in all the civilized world besides. Throne after throne has fallen, and dynasties have been built up on the bloody ruins of dynasties. In some nations the people have wrung, by force, partial concessions from hereditary rule; in others, after convulsive, misdirected efforts, they have been crushed again by the iron hoof of despotism; nor is the voice of a prophet needed to foretell a long, desperate struggle of uprising humanity with the powers of political darkness; while the bloody discords and constant confusion of other republics on the same continent with ourselves, demonstrate the incompatibility of freedom with ignorance and superstition. Ours is now, with the exception of the Russian and British (if, indeed, the passage of the Reform Bill was not an organic change), older than any monarchical government in christendom. The increase of our population from less than three millicns to twenty, in seventy years, multiplies many times any former example; yet, notwithstanding the enormous migration to us from various countries, where free principles are unknown, our wide land has more than enough room for all: growth in numbers has been a chief cause of our growth in wealth, and our laws, strong as they are liberal, have proved themselves sufficient to compose, maintain and rule all in concord, prosperity and power. You will search in vain for another example of a vast nation governed, without troops or armed police, by their own will. It is not five years since, that our people, spread out over an immense territory, after a contest in which the utmost enthusiasm excited both parties, changed their rulers. Yet not a bayonet was fixed, nor a cannon pointed, nor a barricade raised, to guard the place of suffrage. The ballot, falling noiselessly as snow upon the rock, achieved the result. Within the last twelvemonth, the stupendous process has been repeated as peaceably and safely. Each of the great political sects, which divide the popular vote, has triumphed and been beaten. Much there has been to censure in the harsh recrimination and unfraternal bigotry on either side; but when the decision was reached, though the long-rolling swells which succeed the storm did not at once subside, and here and there some violent partisan may have betrayed his vexation, the surface became calm, and the noise soon died away. Every true patriot, submissive to the oracle of the polls, whether wisdom or error, said in his heart, GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE!
Our difficulties, real or supposed, have arisen out of our advantages, for good and evil are mixed with all human affairs. The freedom of those institutions under which we live, has its price, which must be paid, so long as man is prone to abuse, by impatience and excess, those favours of Almighty God which yield happiness only when they are used moderately and religiously, Elated by prosperity, we have forced our growth too fast. We have attempted by plausible inventions to transcend the laws of trade and produc
tion. We have complicated the machinery of our interests until our clear, simple constitution, has become, in the hands of sophisticating politicians, a riddle of mysteries. The limits of habitation have been enlarged beyond the blessings of church and school-house. Vices and faults, peculiar to new settlements, have reached the heart of our legislation. To carry on our far-grasping schemes, we have strained our credit till it broke. Freedom of speech and of the press, has been abused to licentiousness by prejudice, rashness, and selfish ambition. Acknowledging as we do the rights of conscience in their broadest meaning, even the holy name of religion has been dragged upon the arena of party.
Our republic is not a paradise; our countrymen, like ourselves, are not angels, but frail, erring men. Our history has been an experiment. Mistakes have been made and will be made. It is thus that we are to learn. Shall we, in coward skepticism, overlook our immense advantages to hang our fears upon a few faults, or prognosticate the failure of a system which has accomplished so much, because it shares with others the imperfections of humanity? Is there a sober-minded man among us, who would be willing to encounter the oppressions of what are called strong governments, that he might escape from under our present system? Our faults are our own, and our misfortunes are consequences of our faults; but our political advantages are God's rich gifts, which it becomes us thankfully to receive and piously to improve. All our evils have their legitimate remedies, and there is no danger which may not be avoided by a wise care. Instead, therefore, of querulous fears and ungrateful discontent, the Christian patriot should zealously inquire what he can do to secure and advance the best welfare of our beloved land. Our holy text is full of instruction to this end.
The psalmist is describing the policy of God with Israel, the people whom he wished to know no king but himself, and therefore, the only safe policy for any people who would preserve their liberties from the encroachment of despotic rule.
" He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers that they should make them known to their children ; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children, that they might set their hopes in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments."
We see here,
FIRST: THE CHARACTER OF A SAFE AND HAPPY PEOPLE.
"They set their hopes in God; they forget not the works of God; they keep his commandments."
SECONDLY: THE MEANS WHICH GOD HAS APPOINTED FOR CULTIVATING THIS CHARACTER.
"He established a law in Jacob, and appointed a testimony in Israel."
THIRDLY: THE OBLIGATION UPON A CHRISTIAN PATRIOT ARISING FROM THIS PROVIDENCE OF JEHOVAH.
"He commanded our fathers that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, even the children which might be born; who should arise and declare them to their children."
They " set their hopes in God." The man who looks to God as the source of his welfare, is lifted above temptation within and without. Conscious of a holy, heart-searching eye, upon him, his virtue will not be an outward semblance, cloaking from human sight, secret crime or selfish purposes. The opinions, fashions, or rewards of the world, will neither shape his principles nor modify his practice. He will fear to do evil, lest he should offend against God. He will do justice and love mercy, because he walks humbly with God.
His expectations of eternity will guard and sustain him in honesty. He knows himself to be immortal and God eternal; that vice, which no human scrutiny can detect and no human laws can punish, will meet a terrible vengeance, while good acts and purposes will be rewarded openly by Him, who seeth in secret, at the judgment day. The pains of virtue and the pleasures of vice, being alike transitory, are of little account in his estimation, who sets his hope in God, his Saviour, and his judge. He relies upon God, because He is merciful, and knows that he is safc, because God is Almighty
Were our nation, composed of such believers, how untroubled would be our peace ! how entire our mutual confidence! how free our affairs from intrigue, corruption, and wrong! The key would never be turned in the lock, the gibbet seen no more, and the prison doors stand open. No man would fear, but every man would love his neighbour, and the true interests of all be acknowledged by each as his own.
They "forget not the works of God." When God is the trea sury of a man's hopes, he loves to trace the workings of God's wisdom and power, that he may know the sources upon which he can draw. He considers creation, and in its minuteness as well as its vastness, he reads certain proof of the same Power which made, ruling so perfectly, that nothing is overlooked, and so absolutely, that nothing is beyond his presiding will. He considers redemption, that God so loved the world as to give his only begotten Son as the deliverer of all who believe upon his name, and that all .

CTM 2018 Opening Concert
HAU1, Stresemannstr. 29, 10963 Berlin → Map
Tickets: 22 / 17 € reduced
19:30 Zorka Wollny – "Dissent"
20:15 Jace Clayton presents Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner with David Friend, Emily Manzo
CTM 2018 will open with an homage to Julius Eastman, the mercurial gay African American composer who mixed canny minimalist innovation with head-on political provocation.
Conceived for twin pianos, live electronics, and voice, this exhilarating sonic exploration led by Jace Clayton, a.k.a. DJ /rupture, brings fresh insight to Eastman's artistic legacy. The Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner is built around new arrangements of "Evil Nigger" (1979) and "Gay Guerrilla" (1980), two of Eastman's most important, if rarely performed, piano compositions. As Clayton uses his own custom-designed "Sufi Plug Ins" software to live-process the pianos of David Friend and Emily Manzo, he also intersperses musical vignettes to lend context and nuance to the composer's saga, which was cut short in 1990 at age 49.
Setting the stage for the festival's opening concert will be multidisciplinary artist and researcher Zorka Wollny. The main focus of her new commissioned work, Dissent, is the voice – the power and possibilities it offers for expressing needs and having a say in the public debate. This short composition explores a broad range of vocal expression, from powerless whispers to screaming. Fragments of text appear against this backdrop, emerging as single syllables, interrupted words, incomplete slogans, fragments of postulates, manifestos or prayers. The disaffection, stress, and anger over daily abuse related to class, race, and gender differences are released via sighs or screams by the vocalists, who thus attempt to put a dissidence beyond words into a solid musical piece. Led by singers Angela Wingerath and Anna Clementi, the choir consists of: Ada Kowalewski, Anna Münster, Anne-Kerstin Hege, Dace Šteinerte, David Marnuse, Donya Solaimani, Drury Brennan, Evelyn Saylor, Evie Pardoe, Felicitas Schreier, Gizem Akman, Jan Philipp Engelke, Kathy Alberici, Khalil Riahi, Lisa Baeyens, Malgorzata Czubak, Nori Niki, Robert Wimpory, Rosa Gerhards, Teresa Scherhag, and Zuzanna Czajkowska.
The CTM 2018 Opening Concert is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media. With the kind support of the Polish Institute Berlin and of Yamaha Music Europe.

Q: Understanding Space-time intervals and its types I am taking Introduction to Modern Physics class. There, we were studying spacetime intervals as a subsection of Lorentz's transformation. My professor said that $\Delta x^2-c^2\Delta t^2$ is invariant, and then he said us that it is a lightlike event if $\Delta x^2-c^2\Delta t^2=0$, timeline if $\Delta x^2-c^2\Delta t^2<0$ and spacelike if $\Delta x^2-c^2\Delta t^2>0$. I understand that a spacelike event is when different reference frames do not agree on the order of the events. That is because we used Lorentz's transformation to show that, if say A and B are space-like events, A and B happen simultaneously in one frame, A happens before B in one reference frame, and B can happen before A in another reference frame. These are all mathematical notions for these events. I do not understand when these events can occur in reality. Can someone give me some examples so that I can understand them?

A: An interval between two events is space like if it is not possible for light leaving one of the events to arrive at the location of the other before it happens.
Let's take an example. The Moon is about 1.3 light seconds away. Suppose I synchronise my watch with two friends, Como and Zaquette, on the moon. If I sneeze at exactly noon and Como sneezes one second later, then the interval between our two sneezes is space like, because his sneeze happened 0.3 seconds before light from my sneeze could have reached him. If Zaquette sneezes a second later, then the interval between her sneezes and mine is timeline, because light from my sneeze would have reached her 0.7 seconds before she sneezed.
Everyone will agree that my sneeze happened before Zaquette's. However, in some frames of reference moving relative to mine, Como's sneeze will seem to have happened before mine.

A: "Events" are akin to [localized] points.
It's not the "events" that are spacelike, timelike, or lightlike.

Rather, it is the "relationship between pairs of events" that are spacelike, timelike,or lightlike.
The pair of events "A and B" is timelike related if there is a timelike path in spacetime (say the worldline of a particle with nonzero mass) from A to B.
It's possible for events "B and C" to spacelike related to each other,
while each being timelike related to a third event A. So, it's about the relation of
a pair of events.
In special relativity, the character of the "interval between a pair of events A and B" is given by the sign of the square-norm of the spacetime-displacement-vector from A to B.
To get a feeling for these relations, it's best to draw a spacetime diagram.
Then draw in the lightcones of each event...
and see which events lie inside the lightcones of others.
Such events are timelike-related to each other.
Note that there is a transitivity property for future-timelike-related events.
If B is in the timelike-future of A, and C is in the timelike-future of B,
then C is in the timelike-future of A.
You can extend this notion to "causal-futures" (future-timelike-or-future-lightlike-related).
But this doesn't work for lightlike-relations or spacelike-relations.

The best thing you can do when you are shopping for an engagement ring is to seek out a professional jeweler to help you. You can still shop in local jewelry stores, but enlist the help of the jeweler inside the store to help you choose the perfect ring. And you don't want to just work with any jeweler in the closest store. Instead, take the time to visit a few different stores and speak with the jewelers. Then ask yourself these 4 questions to find a great jeweler to help you make one of the biggest and most important purchase's you'll ever make in your life: an engagement ring.
1. How long has this jeweler been in business?
When shopping for a jeweler for an engagement ring, you are looking for someone you can build a lasting relationship with. So you should consider jewelers who have been in the business for several years. Also consider how long the jewelry store has been in business and what their reputation is. The longer a jewelry store has been in business and the length of time a jeweler has been employed will most likely they mean they will have fantastic references and will be around for many years. You want to do business with a jeweler and a store that will be around for a while in case the ring you buy needs maintenance in the future.
2. Is this jeweler knowledgeable?
You are looking for a jeweler who can easily answer your questions with confidence, because he or she is, after all, the expert. If the jewelry you are speaking with can't answer your question, then he or she should be able to seek out someone else in-house who can. If you speak with a salesperson who can't or refuses to answer a question, then walk away.
3. Does the jeweler really listen to you?
When you are shopping for a jeweler, you need to build trust in that person. The first step is to find someone who will listen to you. Instead of trying to sell you the most expensive engagement ring in the store, regardless of what style you are looking for, the jeweler should be focusing on the bride's style, desires, and needs. He or she should show you a variety of rings that meet these requirements to help you narrow down your choices. Never walk out of a jewelry store feeling overwhelmed. If you do, then that is not the jeweler for you.
4. Does this jeweler educate you about engagement rings?
A good jeweler will walk you through the process of choosing the best diamond for your price range. He or she should educate you on the 4C's, so you will be able to admire a diamonds true beauty. The jeweler should also let you look at diamonds under a gemological microscope and a full-spectrum diamond light. He or she should also show you a range of stones so you can compare them for color, cut, and clarity.
A really good jeweler will also educate you about the precious metal setting that the diamond will sit in. The metal matters just as much as the diamond. A reputable jeweler won't hesitate to show you the precious metal stamp indicating the karat weight of the gold, which is typically 10K, 14K, or 18K. Or, the ring may be stamped with PLAT if it is made of platinum.
While you can easily walk into any jewelry store, peer through the glass and choose a ring, and then hand the jewelry store employee a credit card to pay for it, that is usually not the best course of action. Buying fine jewelry requires the help of a trained professional in order to fully understand the precious stone that will be on your spouse's hand for the rest of their life.

GMI in the Constitutional Court - De Klerk v Minister of Police
Johannesburg, 15 November 2018 – a man from Gauteng claims about R330-thousand from the police after he was arrested in 2012 and held in custody for 8 days. The police conceded that they did not have a warrant for Bryan de Klerk's detention, who was arrested on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
According to the Supreme Court of Appeal judgment, the police are only liable for the two hours De Klerk spent in custody. De Klerk is asking the Constitutional Court to order the Minister of Police to compensate him for the whole time he was in custody.
Case awaiting judgment.

Quite possibly my favorite pair of sunglasses.
I am 100% obsessed with these bad boys. The case they come in is quite intriguing as well. Typically the sunglasses I purchase from department stores like Macy's do not come in pretty cases, but ASOS once again blows you away. Why can't we have ASOS stores in Arizona?
If you've been looking for an animal print pair, you have them now. I am seriously just so obsessed and I think these are just a must-have.
Will you be snagging your very own pair from ASOS?

He wouldn't have got my vote – I've never been fond of Christie because after a couple of books (all her detectives, not just P) I find them formulaic and there's too little character development. Sherlock isn't a favourite, either, though I do like the fanfic… I like Alleyn and Cadfael much better. I feel much more that the authors invite me into their minds and reasoning rather than relying on clues etc. I like Elizabeth George's books, too, but not the TV series.
I feel Sherlock doesn't always play fair. I love Alleyn, too – even the TV version (young Patrick malahide *swoon*). Have you come across John Appleby?
