Exploring the 12 Stages of the Hero's Journey Part 10: The Road Back
What does "The Road Back" do for your story?
by Ken Miyamoto - updated on May 5, 2022
We dive into this archetypal story concept, according to Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey and Christopher Vogler's interpreted twelve stages of that journey within his book, The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers.
Welcome to Part 10 of our 12-part series ScreenCraft's Exploring the 12 Stages of the Hero's Journey, where we go into depth about each of the twelve stages and how your screenplays could benefit from them. But first, be sure to download our free e-book while it's still available:
The first stage — The Ordinary World — happens to be one of the most essential elements of any story, even ones that don't follow the twelve-stage structure to a tee.
Showing your protagonist within their Ordinary World at the beginning of your story offers you the ability to showcase how much the core conflict they face rocks their world. And it allows you to foreshadow and create the necessary elements of empathy and catharsis that your story needs.
The next stage is the Call to Adventure. Giving your story's protagonist a Call to Adventure introduces the core concept of your story, dictates the genre your story is being told in and helps to begin the process of character development that every great story needs.
When your character refuses the Call to Adventure, it allows you to create instant tension and conflict within the opening pages and first act of your story. It also gives you the chance to amp-up the risks and stakes involved, which, in turn, engages the reader or audience even more. And it also manages to help you develop a protagonist with more depth that can help to create empathy for them.
Along the way, your protagonist — and screenplay — may need a mentor. Meeting the Mentor offers the protagonist someone that can guide them through their journey with wisdom, support, and even physical items. Beyond that, they help you to offer empathetic relationships within your story, as well as ways to introduce themes, story elements, and exposition to the reader and audience.
At some point at the end of the first act, your story may showcase a moment where your protagonist needs to cross the threshold between their Ordinary World and the Special World they will be experiencing as their inner or outer journey begins. Such a moment shifts everything from the first act to the second, allowing the reader and audience to feel that shift so they can prepare for the journey to come.
It showcases the difference between the protagonist's Ordinary World and the Special World to come. And, even more important, we're introduced to the first shift in the character arc of the protagonist as they decide to venture out into the unknown.
And it's within this unknown that the protagonist faces many tests and meets their allies and enemies — all of which define the meat of your story by introducing the conflict, expanding the cast of characters, and offering a more engaging and compelling narrative.
Once you've put your protagonist through those tests and once they've met their allies and enemies, they're going to need to Approach the Inmost Cave of the story — preparing to face their greatest fears and conflicts. This is an essential element of your narrative, allowing the reader, audience, and characters to catch their breath, reflect, review, and plan ahead for the conflict just over the horizon. And it allows you, the writer, to build the necessary tension and anticipation that you need going into the midpoint of your story.
Everything within the first act — and beginning of the second — builds up to The Ordeal, which is the first real conflict that the protagonist must face. The Ordeal is the midpoint of your story that works as a false climax, taking your protagonist to the depths of despair. It offers you the ability to create an engaging midpoint climax that takes you into the third act. It ups the stakes within your story by taking away beloved allies and mentors. And it sets up the necessary transformation that your protagonist must go through in order to prevail.
And after your hero has gone through all of that, you may want or need to reward them with something that they can use to take on the final threat they face during the climax of your story.
The Reward offers the protagonist the added boost they need to propel themselves through the conflict they face during the climax of the story where they are facing their toughest challenge — be it physical or emotional. A special weapon, an elixir, some knowledge, an experience, or reconciliation are the five types of rewards that heroes need to prevail.
Once they've attained the Reward, it's time for the hero to get on The Road Back to their Ordinary World.
But what is The Road Back and how can this stage develop your third act?
More Conflict, Higher Stakes
The Road Back is the moment of your screenplay that leads your character towards the final climax. They've survived The Ordeal, which is the midpoint of your story. They've gained a special weapon, elixir, piece of knowledge, eye-opening experience, or some form of reconciliation that they know will help them face the final conflict to come before they can go back to their Ordinary World.
This is the launching point of your third act, where you transition from the second and venture into the final stretch of your protagonist's journey.
The Ordeal is the first major conflict they face, usually written as a false climax where things change and the conflict evolves. The Road Back is where the protagonist sees the light at the end of the tunnel, but faces yet another challenge — this time with higher stakes.
In Star Wars, after Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids have escaped the ordeal within the Death Star, they're on their way back to the hidden rebel base with the plans that can lead to the destruction of the Death Star.
But it's not over yet.
They're attacked by incoming TIE-Fighters. This is Luke's first confrontation with engaging enemy fighters. This is where we learn if he's going to have what it takes to become a pilot for the Rebellion. While his piloting skills aren't directly utilized, we get to see a little foreshadowing of his targeting skills.

The Road Back offers you the chance to keep the conflict coming. And when you do that, you continue to engage the reader and audience, compelling them to stay with the story.
You raise the stakes just a little bit more above those found within The Ordeal, but not high enough to eclipse the upcoming climax.
Showing the Light at the End of the Tunnel
There's sometimes a slight lull in the action or conflict between The Ordeal and The Road Back. A moment or sequence where the protagonist regroups with their allies or collects their thoughts leading into the continued hurdles and obstacles they face before the final climax.
This offers the reader and audience a chance to regroup and breathe after the action or drama of The Ordeal.
You want to give the characters some form of accomplishment and hope. And then, as any good writer should, you want to then throw even more conflict at them — just as they are about to believe that their journey is almost complete.
When you watch most films, you'll feel this shift within the story — to the point where it feels as if we've turned a page from the second act to the third.
It's Indiana and Marion in the boat with the Ark of the Covenant below in storage.
They've successfully recovered the Ark and have managed to negotiate a way to transport it. They are on the metaphorical "road back" to the Ordinary World. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. Until...
... more obstacles and hurdles.
Setting Up the Third Act
If there's a specific purpose that writers are looking for when considering using this stage of the Hero's Journey, it's all about setting up the third act.
When the hero has faced The Ordeal, they've experienced the biggest conflict of their journey thus far. But now they've managed to survive it. We need to now flip that page to the third act by introducing more conflict and upping the stakes. And even more important, we need to understand what's at risk going into the third act and eventual climax (The Resurrection).
The Road Back stage of story structure offers you the opportunity to reset and show us what has changed, how it affects the protagonist and their allies (if any), and what they have to overcome to prevail at the end.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Marion is once again captured and the Nazis have retaken the Ark. To make matters even worse, Indiana no longer has any allies that he can rely on to save the day. The Road Back stage of his story ends with him climbing onto the Nazi u-boat, alone.
We've turned the page to the final conflict of the story — Indiana rescuing Marion and recovering the Ark.
It's the perfect segue. It lets the reader and audience know that things are starting to wrap up and that they should prepare for the exciting, thrilling, hilarious, scary, or dramatic finale to come.
The Road Back allows the hero — and the reader and audience — to see the light at the end of the tunnel, if not for a few brief moments. It then introduces more conflict, higher stakes, and reveals everything that is at risk going into the climax of the protagonist's journey.
And remember...
"The Hero's Journey is a skeleton framework that should be fleshed out with the details of and surprises of the individual story. The structure should not call attention to itself, nor should it be followed too precisely. The order of the stages is only one of many possible variations. The stages can be deleted, added to, and drastically shuffled without losing any of their power." — Christopher Vogler, The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers
Joseph Campbell's 17-stage Monomyth was conceptualized over the course of Campbell's own text, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and then later in the 1980s through two documentaries, one of which introduced the term The Hero's Journey.
The first documentary, 1987's The Hero's Journey: The World of Joseph Campbell, was released with an accompanying book entitled The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work.
The second documentary was released in 1988 and consisted of Bill Moyers' series of interviews with Campbell, accompanied by the companion book The Power of Myth.
Christopher Vogler was a Hollywood development executive and screenwriter working for Disney when he took his passion for Joseph Campbell's story monolith and developed it into a seven-page company memo for the company's development department and incoming screenwriters.
The memo, entitled A Practical Guide to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, was later developed by Vogler into The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Storytellers and Screenwriters in 1992. He then elaborated on those concepts for the book The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure For Writers.
Christopher Vogler's approach to Campbell's structure broke the mythical story structure into twelve stages. We define the stages in our own simplified interpretations:
The Ordinary World: We see the hero's normal life at the start of the story before the adventure begins.
Call to Adventure: The hero is faced with an event, conflict, problem, or challenge that makes them begin their adventure.
Refusal of the Call: The hero initially refuses the adventure because of hesitation, fears, insecurity, or any other number of issues.
Meeting the Mentor: The hero encounters a mentor that can give them advice, wisdom, information, or items that ready them for the journey ahead.
Crossing the Threshold: The hero leaves their ordinary world for the first time and crosses the threshold into adventure.
Tests, Allies, and Enemies: The hero learns the rules of the new world and endures tests, meets friends, and comes face-to-face with enemies.
The Approach: The initial plan to take on the central conflict begins, but setbacks occur that cause the hero to try a new approach or adopt new ideas.
The Ordeal: Things go wrong and added conflict is introduced. The hero experiences more difficult hurdles and obstacles, some of which may lead to a life crisis.
The Reward: After surviving The Ordeal, the hero seizes the sword — a reward that they've earned that allows them to take on the biggest conflict. It may be a physical item or piece of knowledge or wisdom that will help them persevere.
The Road Back: The hero sees the light at the end of the tunnel, but they are about to face even more tests and challenges.
The Resurrection: The climax. The hero faces a final test, using everything they have learned to take on the conflict once and for all.
The Return: The hero brings their knowledge or the "elixir" back to the ordinary world.

Q: Node errors in Revolution R Open with the Forecast package This seems like more of a StackOverflow question than a CrossValidated question so let's see if I'm right...
I'm tinkering around with Revolution R Open (RRO) since I'd like to take advantage of the faster MKL math libraries.
I took some code that works just fine in regular R, tried it in RRO, and got the following error when I attempted to use the tbats() function from the forecast package.
> ts(data, seasonal.periods=c(7,365.25))
> fit<-tbats(myts)
Error in checkForRemoteErrors(val) :
  3 nodes produced errors; first error: could not find function "fitSpecificBATS"

If I need to provide some reproducible code/data, I can. However, it appears to me to be more of an issue with the parallelization of the tbats function itself since using the ets function within the same package works just fine.
After a quick search, Error: could not find function "rxGetOption" in Revolution R Open looked promising but seems to be more about RRE vs RRO functions.
Any clue as to what is going on and what I might be able to do for a solution?

Health Care and Handguns
What do these two things have in common? Not much, except that we published two stories on the topics Monday evening at FactCheck.org.
First, we looked at an Obama-Biden ad that took McCain's words on his health care plan and banking regulation out of context:
Out of Context on Health Care
Then, we debunked various claims the NRA has been making in fliers and TV ads about Obama's stance on gun control:
NRA Targets Obama
Chicago Cronies
Have you seen that McCain-Palin ad linking Obama to scary, corrupt Chicago powerbrokers? Well, it's pretty misleading. Outright false in its implication in fact. See our article on FactCheck.org for more on where the ad goes wrong:
Guilt and Associations
It's officially here today. Or it was as of 15:43 GMT (that's 11:43 a.m., if you're on the East Coast). While you were (we hope) enjoying the last weekend of summer, we here at FactCheck.org were still on the case. On Friday over at our main site, we wrote all about Barack Obama and John McCain's dueling Spanish ads. Turns out they can mislead in two different languages.
And if you were working late on Friday,
Just the Facts, Home(page) Makeover
We've given our Just the Facts! page a bit of a face lift. Be sure to check it out. And don't forget to tune in every Friday for Emi Kolawole's weekly vidcast. This week Emi covers school funding, energy policy, Jerome Corsi and war wounds. There's even some time left over to talk about Sarah Palin and respect.
And while you're at it, check out our new Hot Topics page. There you'll find answers to the questions we're being asked most frequently.
McCain's cloudy crystal ball
Confused about whether John McCain really predicted the fall of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? We don't blame you. The McCain-Palin campaign says he did, and as proof, they point to a 2006 speech in which McCain exhorts his colleagues to vote for legislation he cosponsored, legislation that would have regulated the misbehaving mortgage giants. The Obama campaign says he did not and point out that McCain said in 2007 that he didn't see the crisis coming.
Freddie, Fannie and Barack – Corrected
Turns out, our initial post "Freddie, Fannie and Barack" was erroneous. We've struck out the incorrect sections from our earlier post.
We said originally that Obama was the fourth largest recipient of donations from troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That's wrong. Our post was drawn from data from the Center for Responsive Politics' Web site, OpenSecrets.org. But the data we used were incomplete.
We talked to a spokesperson from the Center for Responsive Politics who told us that looking at all election cycles since 1989 (the first year for which CRP has data),
McCain and the 1967 Forrestal Fire
There is a nasty claim making the rounds in virulently anti-McCain circles, accusing him of responsibility for the terrible 1967 disaster aboard the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal. That claim is bunk, and we said so in our Sept. 5 Ask FactCheck item, "Did McCain crash five planes?" Now we are saying so again – even more emphatically – based on additional research.
Among the new details: We question McCain's widely accepted story that it was his own A-4 Skyhawk that was first hit by the errant missile that touched off the disaster.
Freddie, Fannie and Barack
Update, Sept. 19: Portions of this post were based on incomplete data. We have struck through the incorrect sections. Please see here for our corrected account. We apologize for the inconvenience.
In a Sept. 16 stump speech in Vienna, Ohio, Republican presidential nominee John McCain went after Barack Obama, his Democratic counterpart, charging that Obama can't possibly hope to change Washington. After all, McCain said, Obama is a big part of the problem.
Joe Biden Lives!
No, we haven't forgotten that the Democrats have a VP candidate, too. While he hasn't been making much news lately, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden has been busy out on the stump. We've caught him stretching the truth a bit.
You can read all about Biden's adventures in misquoting in our new article, "Stretching with Biden."

Serving as Program Manager for the largest dual-entry hangar in the world and the first new hangar at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in 30 years, R.M. Chin joined Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Jamie Rhee, and American Airlines Vice President of O'Hare International Airport Hub Operations Franco Tedeschi to celebrate its official opening on January 25th.
R.M. Chin's Tom Coyne and Winnie Moy provided program/project management for the design and construction of the 191,000 SF facility – now the largest hangar at O'Hare. Hangar 2 can house two wide-body 777-300 aircraft simultaneously or as many as six narrow-body aircraft, ensuring the facility will meet American's current and future fleet mix.
"It's a privilege to be part of this historic project that brings state-of-the art equipment for American's aircraft maintenance technicians," said R.M. Chin President, Eileen Chin. "Thank you to American Airlines and all our consultant and contractor partners in delivering this project." W.E. O'Neil served as the General Contractor.
The $200 million investment in the new hangar and ground service equipment (GSE) facility marks another milestone in a long list of American investment at O'Hare. The expanded space allows for more workload capacity and aircraft parking flexibility. The former Hangar 2 and GSE facility are being torn down as they were in the footprint of the new Runway 9C/27C, estimated for completion in 2020. The new runway is one of many capital improvements underway to complete the airfield modernization, which also sets stage for the upcoming $8.5 billion terminal expansion at O'Hare.

"You can trust we'll be here with you every step of the way," Commerce Secretary Donald Evans told a United Steelworkers of America rally recently, broadcasting the policy of the Bush Administration. "Our goal is to free the worldwide steel industry from 50 years of foreign government intervention and government subsidies."
He's kidding, right? Or is it that he doesn't know that the U.S. steel industry has been the recipient of government protection and government subsidies for nearly as long a time?
Protection in various forms has sheltered the American steel industry at least since 1970, and, as any rational economist would have predicted, the industry has grown weaker under its privileged status. It was too weak to withstand a surge of imports since 1997. Excess production and weak markets abroad pushed steel to the U.S.; a strong dollar and strong demand for products using steel pulled it here as well.
U.S. steel companies have "won" more than 100 anti-dumping cases since 1998, but 18 U.S. steel companies have gone into Chapter 11 in the same period. They continue to operate, like hopelessly comotose patients on respirators, more dead than alive. They still exhibit one last reflex, heading for Washington to demand protection from foreign competition because the other guys produce too much steel and sell it too cheaply.
Never mind that cheap foreign steel advances the fortunes of every American company that makes steel products, that those companies employ many more American workers than domestic steel producers do, that every American consumer benefits from lower priced cars and appliances and other products heavy with imported steel. All the steel industry and its unions can think of is themselves. "Stand up for steel!" they demand.
"Steel is the United States, and the United States is steel," explains Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Cleveland, home of the largest steel maker operating under Chapter 11, LTV. Jones apparently lives in another era, not the United States of America in 2001.
The U.S. today is made of aluminum and plastic and electrons, and it's far richer, and a far better place to live because of it. Even in her district, there are 10 times as many workers in steel-consuming industries as are employed in steel production.
Unfortunately, too many American politicians are like Jones, eager to roll over for steel, and President George W. Bush joined them last week. The President ordered up an investigation of steel imports, which could lead to heavy duties on foreign steel if it's found that imports are seriously damaging domestic producers.
The investigation obviously will find that damage, even though the long-term cause of the steel industry's malaise has much more to do with domestic union excesses than with foreign competition.
Perhaps the President's action was only smart politics. A bill explicitly enacting import quotas was only a few signatures away from being forced to the floor of the House of Representatives. In the newly Democratic Senate, there was a possibility that the Senate Finance Committee would exercise its authority to start an investigation without the President. And the Administration will find it much tougher to win broad authority to negotiate trade deals if the Congressional steel caucus refuses to go along.
But if the rest of the country must make a political payoff to the steel industry, there is a cheaper way. The federal government could guarantee pensions and health care for every executive, every worker and every retiree if they will just get out of the way of progress.
We will be paying for them anyway, unless the people suddenly decide to change the role of the federal government as national nurse. Like the coal industry, the unionized steel industry is no longer big enough to support its legion of pensioners and their health-insurance coverage. The next step, as it was with coal, will be to throw the cost onto other companies and eventually onto the federal government. The same bill that would establish import quotas would also levy a tax on sales of all steel in the U.S. The revenues would support pension and health-insurance promises that the industry can no longer keep.
Progress in steel requires ending every quota, every subsidy, every loan guarantee until the steel industry stands naked before the world market, regardless of how many subsidies its foreign competitors receive. There are steel companies, probably some of the non-union ones and the ones that recycle old steel, that would survive and prosper in such a jungle. It would be best for America to discover which they are by letting them fight for their survival in the market.
In addition to Barron's own cover story ( "How to Fix Wall Street's Research Problem," May 28) attentive readers have seen numerous other business and investment publications take on the Wall Street firms and their analysts for pumping the air into the Internet bubble.
Even Congress is piling on. Rep. Richard H. Baker, Republican of Louisiana, and his capital markets subcommittee held a hearing last week asking the pointed and loaded question, "Analyzing the Analysts: Are Investors Getting Unbiased Research from Wall Street?"
Even before hearing the testimony, the subcommittee chairman declared, "If over the last few years there has been a shift in unwritten codes of conduct so that, for instance, all of Wall Street believes that a recommendation to 'Hold' a stock really means 'get out now' then it's high time we let everybody in on it. My concern is for the growing number of small individual retail investors outside Wall Street and across the country who take this stock advice to mean what it says and to say what it means."
Actually, we would have hoped that number was shrinking. It's okay if people still admire Horton the Elephant, Dr. Seuss' character who said what he meant and meant what he said, but everybody should know by now that on Wall Street there are many lazy Maizies and very few faithful Hortons.
Although Michael Santoli, author of the Barron's cover story, did not succumb to wishful thinking, most commentators seem to think things were different this time on Wall Street. They seem to have heard that "white shoe" investment banks used to honor the client above their own traders, that they used to restrain their greed and price deals fairly, that they used to give the sucker an even break.
When was that? In the madhouse markets of the early 1900s, when corners and pools were an ordinary market risk? In the Roaring 'Twenties, when banks underwrote stocks and sold them to their own mutual funds? In the Frantic 'Fifties or the Go-Go Years of the 'Sixties, when exaggeration was sold on fixed commission? In the Excessive 'Eighties when greed was good for Masters of the Universe like Michael Milken and the members of his junk-bond rings? Not the Negligent 'Nineties, of course, when everyone now agrees that investment banks screwed the clients and the customers without fear or favor.
The clients and the customers and the critics and the Congressmen need to take a longer view. Wall Street has always made its best money introducing people who should not sell securities to people who should not buy them.
A person who buys stock on the unsupported word of an analyst is not an investor; he's a sucker.
Why is the Bush Administration protecting a declining industry?

The Doctor Said I Needed Glasses
Artist: Earl Moran
Medium: Pastel on Illustration Board
Dimensions: Sight size 18 1/2" x 23 1/2 Framed 22" by 27"
Original Use: Calendar Art for The Brown & Bigelow Calendar Company
Price: $21,000.00 $16,800.00
October 28, 2019 By Daniel Murphy
Earl Moran created this iconic published pin-up pastel for Brown and Bigelow's 1946 calendar line. It was published with the title "The Doctor Said I Needed Glasses". The image shows a pretty blonde, enjoying a libation in a cordial glass, her inviting smile and legs on full display. This fresh-to-the-market original pastel is in a pristine state of conservation and retains the original frame. The work is properly lined with a spacer to keep the pastel away from the glass. The back is unopened and has a number of Brown & Bigelow inventory labels and notations. This is an exciting find and a really fun example of Earl Moran's pin-up mastery. This image also appeared as a mutoscope card and as a page in the 12 month 1948 Brown & Bigelow Calendar titled "Nifty Numbers" with the text:
Here's looking at you with a toast/My numbers worth selection/If the busy signal doesn't buzz/You've got the right connection.

Though Earl Moran had been a national celebrity since 1940 when LIFE magazine featured his work in an extensive feature titled "Speaking of Pictures," the late 1940s are today considered the most interesting of Moran's career. The artist moved to Hollywood in 1946 where he quickly began working with a young Blue Book model named Norma Jeane, who would go onto stardom as Marilyn Monroe. The pair worked together often in the years between 1946-1950 and their association has kept Moran's luminous artworks in the public eye to this day. Earl Moran was one of the century's most important pin-up artists and a true star in the illustration world. This iconic defining example has it all.

Risqué and fetching maidens have always been popular artistic subjects. In advertising terms, pretty girls sell--and in Victorian America they were used to advertise everything from bicycles to bourbon, images that quickly morphed into the modern pin up girl. By the 1930s, calendar companies such as Brown & Bigelow marketed colorful, fun, and sexy visions of the perfect woman to an insatiable public. From the art deco sophisticates depicted by Rolf Armstrong and Billy Devorss, to the cheesecake beauties Gil Elvgren and Art Frahm envisioned, top notch illustrators took up the challenge of painting the perfect woman. During World War II, George Petty and Alberto Vargas created patriotic lithe modernist heartbreakers for the pages of Esquire Magazine to keep servicemen company, and soon there was a calendar girl for every taste--whether you preferred the girl next door or the one from the wrong side of the tracks. In post-war America, the youthful spirit personified by Earl Moran's cheesecake depictions of Marilyn Monroe reigned, and pin up and glamour art remained unflaggingly popular. Today, original pin up and glamour art is more coveted by collectors than ever, and its influence on contemporary fashion, art, and culture is everywhere.

Work on Serg continues. He'll soon have different skin textures like AiBliss. I'm using a spin-off of the AiBliss core to design him since all my 3D code is so organized. It's easy to just put him in and change the code to suit.
Should only take me a month or so for a Beta since most of the code is already programmed. I'm taking this opportunity so I can take advantage of Sergio's Google ranking which sits #2 for "virtual boyfriend".
Besides, designing myself is kinda cool.
Truly, a self made man!!!
I'm gonna be ok, I think. Doc put me on some new meds. Too much creative work can hurt sometimes.
Here is what Sergio Virtual Boyfriend might look like. The levels are very small. It's more of a true chatbot than a game. They're like little levels to provide atmosphere and ambiance.
This is the way I'm thinkin of doing the 3D for Kari 4 too.

From here we can toggle a state value view between twoquals and threequals. All math happens in the initial state.
My advice is to never use the evil twins. Instead, always use === and !==.


BARBARAELLEN KOCH PHOTO | Riverhead school board newcomer Chris Dorr and incumbent Amelia Lantz congratulate each other on their election victories Tuesday night.
Proposed 2013-14 spending plans for the Riverhead and Shoreham-Wading River school districts passed on Tuesday.
Times/Review Newsgroup covered the results live from across the town and the North Fork.
Click the blog box below to see what happened, as it happened.
Rivehead's budget, which does not pierce the tax cap, passed 1,520 to 1,252. Riverhead incumbent school board member Jeff Falisi lost in a three-way race for two seats, with newcomer Chris Dorr taking a seat as the top vote-getter with 1,423.
Amelia Lantz came in second with 1,270 votes and Mr. Falisi received 1,082.
A proposition in Riverhead to start a capital reserve fund passed 1,382 to 1,266 and another, related proposition to purchase land in Riverside as part of a plan for a new bus maintenance and storage facility failed, 1,183 to 1,413.
Shoreham-Wading River's proposed budget passed 1,005 to 504. That also does not pierce the state-mandated cap on year-to-year tax levy increases.
A ballot proposition to repair the high school roofs, address code violations and renovate science labs also passed, 1,137 to 369.
Of the two candidates seeking two open seats in Shoreham-Wading River, newcomer Sean Beran took home the most votes with 1,070. Incumbent Richard Pluschau got 1,061. More than a dozen write-in candidates got 1 vote each, officials said.

I am struggling. I thought I had found some answers for my foot problems by getting new orthopedic shoes from the VA on Friday. But today my feet were as painful as ever and I did not put on the shoes. I also was hit with some potentially devastating personal news that may or may not be true. I will have to wait for about a month to find out. I have cried a few times and tried listening to music. Joan Baez and Simon and Garfunkel mostly. Meanwhile I received confirmation that a fitbit is on the way as a reward from my insurance app. I have been earning points for exercise and the new shoes were going to help me. I made 11,000 steps Friday. I had noticed that my pattern had been to go all out for a few days and then be practically inert. I am hoping to become more consistent. But the wild card is what will happen with this personal news.

My mother and her nuts
A few years ago I wrote about how my mother had gone on a black walnut kick. She developed the idea that she could somehow sell these things to the Lexington Food Cooperative not far from her house. As with many hair brained schemes this one took the cake. First, black walnuts are among the hardest things on earth. Do not let your children or angry spouse get hold of these things because with a little practice and a good throwing arm one could create a lot of damage.
Second, as far as human consumption of these little missiles, forget it. You would probably destroy your house attempting to crack he things. Better to stick with peanuts or regular walnuts. I doubt that you would want to run over the black walnuts because that would damage your rims.
Third, as I described in my earlier post, they are very good at attracting squirrels. I survived a harrowing adventure with black walnuts and a hungry squirrel in my apartment years ago and have never gone near them. I heard about that story I thought surely that would be the end of my mother's nut collecting career.
And I was wrong. Because there in the corner of the basement are the aforementioned nuts. I am certain that they are included in Mom's will. When she passes on at 110. Nuts to you, bub.

Jazz is what brings us together
I disagree with my mother and sister about almost everything. Including my name. So for the sake of our sanity I felt it was best to live apart from them. Several states away, in fact. Better than to have awkward meals and long silences. This has worked well as mom is 93, my sister is 72 and I am a youthful 66. We have avoided appearing in the newspaper in a article about how we died under mysterious circumstances.
Many of my best memories involving my family include jazz. I am listening to Horace Silver on Spotify as I am typing this. My older sister is a big fan of Lee Morgan, Clifford Brown and Art Blakey. I can recall her playing Clifford Brown in her bedroom and being fascinated by this. I guess what I most like about jazz is the staying power of the music. I can listen to songs from 50 years ago and they sound as fresh as when they were originally recorded.
My advice is find one thing you can agree with and stick to it when you come home for the holiday. For me, what works is jazz.

Why did his son kill himself
I have been reading facebook posts promoting suicide prevention and talking about the need to look after one another. The need to offer support, empathy and resources. But there are so many places where vulnerable are most at risk.
Youths are at risk, people in mental hospitals are at even more risk and the most at risk of violence are in prison. I just read a story in the New Yorker about the story of a young man in the New York state prison system whose father was preparing to send of him a care package only to discover he had been buried 6 weeks earlier. The article by Jennifer Gonnerman, told how Lonnie Hamilton II learned that his son had died on March 18, 2016 when he went to the prison website. His son, Lonnie Hamilton III, had hung himself after becoming increasingly depressed in the Marcy Correctional Facility.
This is a story about an involved father who worked long hours to provide for his children only to lose one of them to crime and seeing his son torn away from the community. It is a story about failure to notify the next of kin about what was happening. There were signs especially self mutilation that should have set off a thousand alarm bells. I don't think that the prison tried everything possible to assist Lonnie.
These kinds of tragedies happen all too often. I don't think the prison was set up to meet the needs of a deeply troubled African American young man so he became a casualty. This is a cry for help, action and a replacement for the deconstruction. I would hate for this to happen to one of my nephews and hope people will use these stories

Re incarceration without conviction
I was looking for a class today at the First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee about ecological health and had bought the book and was diligently studying it. However while I was waiting a friend from the Black Lives Matter group told me about a meeting regarding re-incarceration without conviction. I had read an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about a black man who was on probation and was driving a car and was stopped by the police. It so happened that the man has a white girl friend who is a gun enthusiast and has pictures of herself with her friends on social media holding their guns. All of which were duly registered with the State of Wisconsin. But he did not know the gun was in the car and was was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon. Fortunately a jury found him innocent but his probation officer revoked him on the grounds he was a danger to the community.
The man had roots in the community including a small transportation business and a child. Instead he became one of the more than 4,000 people who are sent back to prison in Wisconsin without having committed a crime. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections has wide latitude in deciding whether to revoke people but this case has something in common with many others in that the person considered dangerous was a black man even though he had a spotless record and was taking tangible steps to improve himself.
The two speakers at the meeting, one white and one black, are also examples of trying to fight the odds. The white speaker was Mark Rice, who is a candidate for a doctorate from UWM, told about his battle to overcome being revoked. He had a history of mental illness and had previously lived in Madison where his probation officer had a background that allowed him to understand his situation. But when he moved to Milwaukee his probation officer had no such training and revoked him for an incident resulting from him mental illness. His former probation officer went to bat for him which helped him return to the community.
The black speaker told of being revoked 3 times and being homeless. One of his revocations resulted from a malfunction of the monitoring bracelet that he wears on his ankle. If you you use a cell phone, are late for an appointment, accept a job without permission, leave the county or violate any of the other rules, Wisconsin can and will send your most often black or brown body back to prison.
It would be value to learn more about Ex Prisoners Organizing for Statewide Penal Reform (EXPO) and do what you can to stop the trend of mass incarceration. If you follow this link you will find out more about this group :Phone: 414-831-2070 Email: wisdomforjustice@gmail.com

I am the fortunate son
As many people know, mental illness runs in the family. All of us in my family have experienced different types of illnesses, including depression, schizophrenia and manic depression. I was more fortunate than my brother in being able to recover and develop resources. I have friends who struggled along with their siblings cycling in and out of the hospital including forced treatment. i was never subjected to a mental hospital or picked up on the street for engaging in some bizarre behavior. Instead, I recognized that I was not the person who I had been told I would become.
I saw all the warning signs and decided to heed them. Again, I see a positive in my deciding I didn't want to live like that. Recognizing that you need help and then actually need help can be painful. Some people literally may need to crash into a wall. And others unfortunately, may crash through the wall, leaving their loved ones behind to cry and wish that there something more they could have done. I am a peer support specialist certified by the State of Wisconsin and I can help see you through the woods.

If we don't address the wounds that we experience in life, we will go on to similarly wound others.

"We take the people we love, the people we want to be invested in and that we care about, and we can't help but wound them because we haven't addressed our own woundedness." – Joe Ehrmann

How To Love and Be Loved | Part 2: The 3 Wounds of Love #232 0

Wounds from your past can have a devastating impact on the way you feel about yourself and others. In this episode, the second in a special series of six, Brian and Joe Ehrmann teach how to identify and heal those wounds that make it difficult for you to truly love and be loved.

How we can be wounded by our nature, our nurture and our culture.
Why the number one wound in our society is the father wound.
"I think all of us come into this world with three basic questions. And the first is a question of identity: Who am I? The second is a question of intimacy: Who will love me? And the third is one of industry: What can I do with my life?" – Joe Ehrmann
"Most people want to change their circumstances, but they don't want to change themselves. The challenge is, if you change yourself, circumstances will change also." – Brian Buffini
"If you have a pebble in your shoe and you leave it there, you're eventually going to develop a limp. And you can learn to walk through life with a limp, but it's better to go back, take it out, then learn to walk properly and then maybe help others get this pebble out of their shoe." – Brian Buffini
"We share our woundedness with others to offer that as a hope for healing." – Joe Ehrmann
"A wound is some unresolved issue. And it's not the fact that we're wounded in life. It's a decision we make as adults to deal with them." – Joe Ehrmann
"All of us have woven into us this deep need for satisfaction. To be unconditionally loved, to be known for who and what we are and to be accepted for that." – Joe Ehrmann

Spain-based Father Of Three Arrested At Abuja Airport For Ingesting 96 Pellets Of Cocaine
A native of Nike in Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu State, Patrick was arrested on November 26, 2021 during an outward clearance of Turkish Airline at the boarding screening area of the airport en route to Abuja-Istanbul-Madrid.
A 44-year-old father of three, Gabriel Anthony Patrick, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, for ingesting 96 pellets of cocaine, which he excreted in the custody of the agency.
He had travelled to Germany in 1996 for two years on asylum after which he relocated to Spain in 1999 where he currently holds a residence permit and works as a driver in a food manufacturing company.
He claimed he came into Nigeria on November 17 to sell clothes and car spare parts he had shipped to Lagos.
He, however, said he couldn't sell his consignments, which cost him €4,000 excluding the cost of shipment because they were priced below the cost price at Ladipo Market in Lagos and he needed to travel back to Spain to resume work after the expiration of his annual leave.
This, he said, led him to accept an offer to traffic the drug for which he would be paid €1,500 when he successfully delivers the consignment to someone in Spain.
He claimed he left Lagos for Enugu to see his family members and then travelled on November 25 to Onitsha, Anambra State, where he was picked up from Upper Iweka park at night and taken to a house where he was given the 96 pellets of cocaine to ingest before leaving for Abuja to board his flight to Madrid in Spain the following day.
In a related development, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, have arrested one Okorie Godwin Onyeribe over his attempt to export 21.85kg of Cannabis concealed in foodstuff to London, United Kingdom.
He was nabbed at the NAHCO export shed of the airport on December 3, according to a statement by Director of Media and Advocacy of the NDLEA, Mr Femi Babafemi.
The statement further disclosed that five students of American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State, and University of Maiduguri, Borno State, are among suspects arrested for drug offences in raids across nine states last week, the agency disclosed.
Two of the students; Emmanuel Thlama and Jonah Joshua, were arrested with 16.750kg Cannabis on the night of November 30 when operatives raided a settlement opposite Gate 4 of the University of Maiduguri.
The other three, all AUN undergraduate students: Ekene Asher; Daniel Alkali and Emmanuel Smooth, were arrested at 11:30pm on Thursday after taking delivery of Loud, a strong variant of Cannabis ordered by Ekene for them to smoke.
Earlier on the same day, operatives also intercepted a motorised concrete mixer truck used to conceal 2000.6kg of Cannabis loaded at Ogbese, Ondo State.
Two suspects arrested with the drugs; Matthew Donuwe and Friday Nborgwu, claimed they had spent a month on the road from Ondo hoping to deliver the consignment in Mubi, Adamawa, before they were arrested at Girei in the Girei Local Government Area of the state.
In Oyo State, operatives intercepted 608.40kg of Cannabis sativa concealed in a black Toyota Sequoia SUV with registration number —Lagos MUS553GN and parked around the toll gate area, Ibadan-Ife Expressway under Egbeda Local Government Area, on Friday.
The following day, operatives equally seized 85.90kg Cannabis recovered from the boot of a Nissan Primera car with registration Lagos FJK890DZ and in one of the rooms of an apartment where search operation was carried out at Adegbayi area, Alakia, Egbeda LGA.
Those arrested in connection with the seizure include Benson Uzoka, 46; Kafayat Adeyemi Uzoka, 40; Ndidi Uzoka, 39 and Christopher Uzoka, 42.
While the duo of Praise Emmanuel and Aminu Aliyu were arrested with 228kg Cannabis in Kano, operatives in Taraba stormed Cannabis farms in Changso Village, Kurmi LGA, located on the mountains between Nigeria and Cameroon, evacuated 364kg of the illicit drug and set the rest on fire.
Equally, ThankGod Danladi, who has just served out a jail term in October, was arrested on Wednesday with 67kg Cannabis in another raid in the state.
In Niger State, operatives intercepted a commercial bus with 215kg Cannabis concealed in a false bottom and side door of the bus along Mokwa-Jebba Road.
Two suspects; a driver and his conductor arrested, claimed they loaded the consignment in Ogere, Ogun State, and were heading to Sokoto.
In Delta State, a lady named Tina Ujene was arrested in Ibusa with 1.1kg Cannabis while another raid on her supplier's home led to the recovery of 54.7kg of the same substance.
Different quantities of Cannabis, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Heroin, Diazepam and Exol-5 were seized in raids at AP-Eleme and Garki, Oil Mill areas of Port Harcourt, as well as Lewe and Kadiri in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State on Friday.
In Ondo State, a 72-year-old man named Emmanuel Akanbi was arrested at Odofin camp, Uso, Owo LGA with 2,050kg Cannabis.
Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), has commended officers and men of the NAIA, MMIA, Adamawa, Borno, Taraba, Niger, Oyo, Ondo, Kano, Rivers and Delta commands of the agency for their recent efforts.
He charged them along with their colleagues in other commands to constantly focus on raising the bar of their achievements until the last gramme of illicit drug was taken away from every community in Nigeria.

New Study Raises More Questions About Triclosan Health Effects
On August 14, 2012, researchers from the University of California, Davis, and the University of Colorado published findings suggesting that the antibacterial ingredient triclosan causes muscle weakness. The researchers observed that after exposure to triclosan, heart muscles in mice showed a diminished ability to contract, and that fish exposed to the ingredient showed reduced swimming activity.
These findings come more than two years after the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy and Environment called for a ban on many applications of triclosan, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released correspondence revealing concerns about the possible health effects of triclosan. [See previous client alert: Triclosan and Increased Scrutiny of Chemicals] Despite its own stated concerns, FDA has maintained that triclosan is not known to be hazardous to humans. However, companies should not draw too much comfort from these assurances, as the agency has indicated that its opinion does not reflect a thorough review of the most recent studies.
Although not approved by the FDA, triclosan is used as an antibacterial agent in a number of household cleaning and personal hygiene products sold in the United States, including soaps, deodorants, hand-sanitizers, toothpastes, and mouth wash. In recent years, manufacturers have also expanded the use of triclosan as an antimicrobial in cosmetics, socks, workout clothes, and toys.
Triclosan has been previously scrutinized for its disruptive effects on the body's endocrine system and whether its use promotes the creation of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Triclosan is under consideration by FDA for inclusion in the monograph for over-the-counter topical antimicrobial products, and thus products that contain it are not usually targeted for agency enforcement actions. FDA, however, has said that to date, it "has not received evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soaps and body washes provides any benefit over washing with regular soap and water." Absent new data showing a positive effect, it is unlikely that FDA will include triclosan in the monograph if and when it issues a final rule.
Some companies have already responded to increased public concerns about triclosan by taking steps to remove it from their product lines. Last year, for example, a major manufacturer of oral care, personal care, and home care products announced it was removing triclosan from most of its home-care products, and more recently a multi-national manufacturer of personal hygiene and other products followed suit announcing that it is phasing triclosan out of its beauty and baby care products.
From a product liability standpoint, these new studies may give rise to toxic tort lawsuits from customers claiming health impacts from triclosan. Although most triclosan studies support a history of safe use, these new animal studies may be used as support for alleged human health complaints. Companies that have incorporated triclosan into their products should develop risk mitigation strategies to prepare for the inevitable class action lawsuits aimed at deep corporate pockets. At a minimum, manufacturers and users of triclosan products should closely monitor new research, FDA and EPA comments, and developing governmental actions impacting the continued use of triclosan.

This is my first year teaching a class that is going through the PYP exhibition. For the past seven years I've been a part of it, either as a mentor or as someone who helps prepare the presentations. I've always loved it, and always wanted to play a bigger role in it.
This year, especially with my class, I feel like it's been pretty great. The students were pretty good at finding a problem and being able to look at something they felt was important to them. They've come up with questions and lines of inquiry. It's been exciting to watch.
I guess most exciting of all, especially from my point of view, is when the students encounter problems with their group mates. It's interesting to see how they go about approaching the person they think is the problem, and how they come up with solutions to figure out how to make something work. Sometimes it's been really successful, other times, not so much.
Some of the groups have really changed their focus and ideas, while others have stayed pretty consistent. It's just interesting to see the amount of effort that goes into it from a student point of view, and makes me wonder how well I manage my time.
One of the most rewarding aspects for me so far has been seeing how their idea of action has evolved. It started with just wanting to raise money and now it's going for more personal transformation. Instead of students working to raise money for a cultural group, they are looking at how we can recognise racist thoughts in ourselves. One group is taking students into a green screen room to talk about how some people don't get access to education using visual displays, it's great to see action taking on personal aspects.

Q: SQL stored procedure query to clear date field if NULL I'm not a SQL expert, but have a stored procedure query to insert a record into a table. I have a select call in my insert query to replace a NULL DateTime field to ''. But for some reason it doesn't work. The DateTime field is still NULL in the database table after the insert. Could someone look at the query below let me know if the select call to clear the DateTime field is valid to do in the same insert call.
CREATE PROC pCreate_DBQuery
(
   @Message varchar(max),
   @DateTime smalldatetime
)
AS
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO dbo.TestTbl(Message, DateTime)
    VALUES (@Message, @DateTime)
    SELECT ISNULL(@ProcessedDateTime,'1900-01-01') AS [Changed Processed
    Date]
    SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
END

This command
EXEC pCreate_DBQuery 'None', NULL

Table results from insert
None, NULL

A: REPLACE doesn't work with NULL. If you want to insert the value 19000101 if the value NULL is passed you would need to do:
INSERT INTO dbo.TestTbl(Message, DateTime)
SELECT @Message, ISNULL(@DateTime,'19000101');

Personally, though, I would still think that NULL is better than the date 19000101.
If you want an UPDATE then the syntax would be:
UPDATE dbo.TestTbl
SET DateTime = '19000101'
WHERE DateTime IS NULL;

The political warfare of conflict exacerbation
Lahontan Valley | January 20, 2015
Jan. 8, 2015, was the fourth anniversary of Jared Loughner's burst of gunfire that took the lives of six people and severely wounded 13 others in Tucson, Arizona. To this day, retired U. S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords continues her struggle to overcome injuries suffered in that shooting. The horrific decimation of life and debilitating mayhem that Loughner left strewn in the wake of his acts of evil called for a condolence of bowed reverence — which was the respect shown the victims by most Americans.
But for the muckraking smear-mongers of the Democratic Party, the carnage was just another opportunity to stigmatize the Republican Party. Indeed, in no time at all after the massacre and maiming, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was cashing in on the carnage by alleging that the Republican Party created Loughner. Employing her skills at fabricating lies out of whole cloth, the Florida congresswoman sought to persuade the American public that it was the Republican's "minuteman devotion" to protecting the Second Amendment that also protected Loughner's right to access a gun — thereby aiding and abetting his shooting rampage.
After deliberating Wasserman Schultz' attempt to attach a cause and effect connection from the Republican Party's defense of the Second Amendment to Jared Loughner's gun violence, the "court of public opinion" returned a verdict of "asinine" against her outrageous allegation. In fact, there never was a tie-in between the Republican Party and Jared Loughner, but that did not matter to Wasserman Schultz What mattered more to her was to roil the contending sensibilities of pro-gun/anti-gun adversaries and parlay the chaos into a growth of political power for the Democratic Party.
The Democrat's strategy of stoking contentious social conflicts is based upon their perception that no dispute among a people is ever so bad that it cannot be made worse. That explains why they embrace the obstructive politics of conflict exacerbation, the objective of which is to seize hold of every dispute that ails America and work to render the problem implosive.
The depth of the Democrat's commitment to the politics of conflict exacerbation can be measured by the fact that they put no "statute of limitations" on how far back they are willing to reach into the antiquity of American history for past social strife with which to stoke present social conflicts, such as the racial controversies that are flaring up all around us today. The end-game of that strategy is to never allow a mutually beneficial resolution to come of social disputes that are rife with politically divisive potential. This tactic reflects perfectly the meaning of the message in former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's 2008 directive: "Never let a crisis go to waste."
If one was determined to divide, conquer and subjugate the American people, as are the Democrats, one could not deploy a more effective strategy for achieving that end than the political warfare of conflict exacerbation.
