Wrongful death: Charges filed in crash that killed cyclist
On behalf of Hill, Peterson, Carper, Bee & Deitzler, PLLC posted in Wrongful Death on Monday, February 24, 2020.
It is no secret that individuals who travel via bicycle do not have the same level of protective barriers afforded to those who ride in a motor vehicle. As such, what appears to be a healthy alternative form of travel can be somewhat hazardous at times and cyclists run greater risk of suffering serious or fatal harm should a collision occur. According to reports, a driver is facing multiple charges following a recent collision that led to the apparent wrongful death of a 37-year-old cyclist in West Virginia.
Law enforcement agents advised that they responded to reports of the crash on a recent Monday afternoon. According to initial investigations, the incident occurred when the driver of a westbound vehicle suddenly crashed into a nearby cyclist. While speaking with authorities, the driver of the vehicle reportedly admitted that she was looking down at her phone when the incident took place.
Police advised that the cyclist suffered fatal injuries and passed away at the scene of the accident. Although the driver who caused the crash was taken to a medical facility for treatment, no further information was provided as to the nature of her injuries. However, police have stated that she is now facing numerous charges in relation to the crash, including involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide.
It can take little more than a moment of inattention on the part of a driver to leave family members mourning over a sudden and unexpected loss. Those who encounter such a scenario and wish to better understand all their available legal avenues could find it helpful to speak with an attorney for guidance on how best to approach the situation. Seeking guidance early on could help place a person in West Virginia in a much better position to seek the full amount of compensation entitled through a wrongful death claim.

Our Strength comes from the Roots
Butler University is a liberal arts school with a history of doing things differently. In 1855, attorney and abolitionist Ovid Butler opened a school founded on the principle that everyone deserves an excellent education, regardless of race or gender—a bold idea in pre-Civil-War America. He believed that experience is the best teacher, that a love of learning prepares you for success no matter what you do, and that anyone can achieve greatness if they're willing to put in the effort.
Today, we've built on Butler's vision to create a community of students and faculty that learn by doing. A community that values hard work as an essential building block for success, whether in the classroom, on the field, or out in the world.
Now, more than 160 years after he opened the doors, Ovid Butler's ideals still ring true throughout our campus and beyond.
We Do More
At Butler, the students, faculty, and staff are a passionate bunch. From the Geneva Stunts fundraiser, which has been a tradition for almost 100 years, to the Homecoming Chariot Race that pits fraternity against fraternity, they love taking part in our rich history.
But the passion doesn't end at the campus borders. Because of Butler's commitment to fostering community involvement, students transform into responsible members of society and proud members of the Bulldog Nation. Whether they're participating in campus-wide volunteer day and making a difference in Indianapolis or dancing into the twilight hours at the Spring Sports Spectacular to benefit the Special Olympics, everyone here is dedicated to making a difference in the world around them.
The name's Blue—but you can call him Trip
Blue III (Trip, for short) is the Butler Mascot. He's an English Bulldog that loves skateboarding, chilling in a kiddie pool when it's hot out, and working as the head cheerleader for all Butler athletics.
Get to know Trip a little better. Check out his blog or Twitter feed.
Founder's Week
Butler celebrates its founding through various events, capturing our principles of diversity, equality, innovation, and access.

Ahold's Net Profit Drops 55% Amid Pressure at U.S. Stores
By Fred PalsDow Jones Newswires
June 14, 2005 6:34 am ET
AMSTERDAM -- Ahold NV reported Tuesday that first-quarter net profit fell 55% as it battled competition in its U.S. stores, but the Dutch grocer maintained its ambitious 2006 outlook.
Ahold's net profit was €134 million ($162.2 million), down from €298 million in the year-earlier period, as reported under the International Financial Reporting Standards being introduced in many European countries this year. Ahold's results reflected the weak U.S. dollar and fierce competition, particularly in its U.S. retail operations.
Despite margin pressure at its U.S. retail operations, which account for about 40% of group sales, the retailer reaffirmed its full-year growth targets for 2006. The targets include a 5% net sales growth and a 5% operating margin in its food-retail business. "We are confident we will meet those targets," Chief Executive Anders Moberg said in a statement.
Ahold, which derives about 70% of its revenue from the U.S., is nearly halfway through a restructuring program following an accounting scandal at its U.S. Foodservice unit, disclosed in early 2003.
"The bulk of Ahold's operations are in the midst of a restructuring, making it likely that 2005 will be another transition year," Rabo Securities analyst Patrick Roquas said. He added that the numbers were broadly in line with expectations and maintains a "neutral" rating.

Where does the time go? I can hardly believe it's May! I hope you all enjoyed the ABC Animal Alphabet book your child made; it's the culmination of a year's work and we've learned a lot about animals, habitats, shapes, cutting, collage art, following directions, and many other skills through this project. I enjoyed watching the children look back through their books and listening to comments like, "I don't even remember this one, but it's really cool." "Which is your favorite?" "I didn't know anything about that animal before, but now I know everything." "Wow! I got a lot better at this! " And, indeed, everyone did get better - at everything! Your children have constantly amazed me with their abilities and their perseverance, and their determination to rise to the challenges and learning opportunities put before them. I'm so glad I have been a part of it.
The remaining month is full of more birthdays, activities, Mother's Day and other projects, famous artists, US symbols, science studies of plants, animals, and life cycles, language and math activities, assessments, and more. I wonder if we'll have enough time to do it all ………. Maybe not, but we'll have fun learning while we try.
I hope you can make the family fun day at the end of the month. Until then, enjoy spring!

Sec. 1. CREATION OF COUNTIES.
The Legislature shall have power to create counties for the convenience of the people subject to the following provisions:
(1) Within the territory of any county or counties, no new county shall be created with a less area than seven hundred square miles, nor shall any such county now existing be reduced to a less area than seven hundred square miles. No new counties shall be created so as to approach nearer than twelve miles of the county seat of any county from which it may in whole or in part be taken. Counties of a less area than nine hundred, but of seven hundred or more square miles, within counties now existing, may be created by a two-thirds vote of each House of the Legislature, taken by yeas and nays and entered on the journals. Any county now existing may be reduced to an area of not less than seven hundred square miles by a like two-thirds vote. When any part of a county is stricken off and attached to, or created into another county, the part stricken off shall be hold for and obliged to pay its proportion of all the liabilities then existing, of the county from which it was taken, in such manner as may be prescribed by law.
(2) No part of any existing county shall be detached from it and attached to another existing county until the proposition for such change shall have been submitted, in such manner as may be provided by law, to a vote of the voters of both counties, and shall have received a majority of those voting on the question in each.
(Amended Nov. 2, 1999.) (TEMPORARY TRANSITION PROVISIONS for Sec. 1: See Appendix, Note 1.)
Sec. 1-A. COUNTIES BORDERING ON GULF OF MEXICO OR TIDEWATER LIMITS THEREOF; REGULATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON BEACHES.
The Legislature may authorize the governing body of any county bordering on the Gulf of Mexico or the tidewater limits thereof to regulate and restrict the speed, parking and travel of motor vehicles on beaches available to the public by virtue of public right and the littering of such beaches.
Nothing in this amendment shall increase the rights of any riparian or littoral landowner with regard to beaches available to the public by virtue of public right or submerged lands.
The Legislature may enact any laws not inconsistent with this Section which it may deem necessary to permit said counties to implement, enforce and administer the provisions contained herein.
Should the Legislature enact legislation in anticipation of the adoption of this amendment, such legislation shall not be invalid by reason of its anticipatory character.
(Added Nov. 6, 1962.)
Sec. 2. REMOVAL OF COUNTY SEATS.
The Legislature shall pass laws regulating the manner of removing county seats, but no county seat situated within five miles of the geographical center of the county shall be removed, except by a vote of two-thirds of all the voters voting on the subject. A majority of such voters, however, voting at such election, may remove a county seat from a point more than five miles from the geographical center of the county to a point within five miles of such center, in either case the center to be determined by a certificate from the Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Sec. 3. (Repealed Aug. 5, 1969.)
Sec. 4. COUNTY-WIDE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS.
The Legislature may by law authorize the creation of county-wide Hospital Districts in counties having a population in excess of 190,000 and in Galveston County, with power to issue bonds for the purchase, acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of any county owned hospital, or where the hospital system is jointly operated by a county and city within the county, and to provide for the transfer to the county-wide Hospital District of the title to any land, buildings or equipment, jointly or separately owned, and for the assumption by the district of any outstanding bonded indebtedness theretofore issued by any county or city for the establishment of hospitals or hospital facilities; to levy a tax not to exceed seventy-five ($ .75) cents on the One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars valuation of all taxable property within such district, provided, however, that such district shall be approved at an election held for that purpose, and that only qualified voters in such county shall vote therein; provided further, that such Hospital District shall assume full responsibility for providing medical and hospital care to needy inhabitants of the county, and thereafter such county and cities therein shall not levy any other tax for hospital purposes; and provided further that should such Hospital District construct, maintain and support a hospital or hospital system, that the same shall never become a charge against the State of Texas, nor shall any direct appropriation ever be made by the Legislature for the construction, maintenance or improvement of the said hospital or hospitals.
(Added Nov. 2, 1954; amended Nov. 2, 1999.) (TEMPORARY TRANSITION PROVISIONS for Sec. 4: See Appendix, Note 1.)
Sec. 5. CITY OF AMARILLO; WICHITA COUNTY; JEFFERSON COUNTY; CREATION AND FUNDING OF HOSPITAL DISTRICTS.
(a) The Legislature may by law authorize the creation of two hospital districts, one to be coextensive with and have the same boundaries as the incorporated City of Amarillo, as such boundaries now exist or as they may hereafter be lawfully extended, and the other to be coextensive with Wichita County.
If such district or districts are created, they may be authorized to levy a tax not to exceed Seventy-five Cents (75¢) on the One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) valuation of taxable property within the district; provided, however, no tax may be levied until approved by a majority vote of the participating resident qualified voters. The maximum rate of tax may be changed at subsequent elections so long as obligations are not impaired, and not to exceed the maximum limit of Seventy-five Cents (75¢) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) valuation, and no election shall be required by subsequent changes in the boundaries of the City of Amarillo.
If such tax is authorized, no political subdivision or municipality within or having the same boundaries as the district may levy a tax for medical or hospital care for needy individuals, nor shall they maintain or erect hospital facilities, but the district shall by resolution assume all such responsibilities and shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations (including bonds and warrants) of such subdivisions or municipalities or both. The maximum tax rate submitted shall be sufficient to discharge such obligations, liabilities, and responsibilities, and to maintain and operate the hospital system, and the Legislature may authorize the district to issue tax bonds for the purpose of the purchase, construction, acquisition, repair or renovation of improvements and initially equipping the same, and such bonds shall be payable from said Seventy-five Cents (75¢) tax. The Legislature shall provide for transfer of title to properties to the district.
(b) The Legislature may by law permit the County of Potter (in which the City of Amarillo is partially located) to render financial aid to that district by paying a part of the expenses of operating and maintaining the system and paying a part of the debts of the district (whether assumed or created by the district) and may authorize the levy of a tax not to exceed Ten Cents (10¢) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) valuation (in addition to other taxes permitted by this Constitution) upon all property within the county but without the City of Amarillo at the time such levy is made for such purposes. If such tax is authorized, the district shall by resolution assume the responsibilities, obligations, and liabilities of the county in the manner and to the extent herein above provided for political subdivisions having boundaries coextensive with the district, and the county shall not thereafter levy taxes (other than herein provided) for hospital purposes nor for providing hospital care for needy individuals of the county.
(c) The Legislature may by law authorize the creation of a hospital district within Jefferson County, the boundaries of which shall include only the area comprising the Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7 and the Port Arthur Independent School District, as such boundaries existed on the first day of January, 1957, with the power to issue bonds for the sole purpose of purchasing a site for, and the construction and initial equipping of, a hospital system, and with the power to levy a tax of not to exceed Seventy-five Cents (75¢) on the One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) valuation of property therein for the purpose of paying the principal and interest on such bonds.
The bonds may not be issued or such tax be levied until approved by such voters.
The district shall not have the power to levy any tax for maintenance or operation of the hospital or facilities, but shall contract with other political subdivisions of the state or private individuals, associations, or corporations for such purposes.
If the district herein above authorized is finally created, no other hospital district may be created embracing any part of the territory within its boundaries, but the Legislature by law may authorize the creation of a hospital district incorporating therein the remainder of Jefferson County, having the powers and duties and with the limitations presently provided by Article IX, Section 4, of the Constitution of Texas. A majority of those participating in the election voting in favor of the district shall be necessary for bonds to be issued.
(d) Should the Legislature enact enabling laws in anticipation of the adoption of this amendment, such Acts shall not be invalid because of their anticipatory character.
(e) The legislature by law may authorize Randall County to render financial assistance to the Amarillo Hospital District by paying part of the district's operating and maintenance expenses and the debts assumed or created by the district and to levy a tax for that purpose in an amount not to exceed seventy-five cents (75¢) on the One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) valuation on all property in Randall County that is not within the boundaries of the City of Amarillo or the South Randall County Hospital District. This tax is in addition to any other tax authorized by this constitution. If the tax is authorized by the legislature and approved by the voters of the area to be taxed, the Amarillo Hospital District shall, by resolution, assume the responsibilities, obligations, and liabilities of Randall County in accordance with Subsection (a) of this section and, except as provided by this subsection, Randall County may not levy taxes or issue bonds for hospital purposes or for providing hospital care for needy inhabitants of the county.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article IX of this constitution, if a hospital district was created or authorized under a constitutional provision that includes a description of the district's boundaries or jurisdiction, the legislature by law may authorize the district to change its boundaries or jurisdiction. The change must be approved by a majority of the qualified voters of the district voting at an election called and held for that purpose.
(Added Nov. 4, 1958; Subsection. (e) and (f) added Nov. 3, 1987; Subsection. (a), (c), and (e) amended Nov. 2, 1999.) (TEMPORARY TRANSITION PROVISIONS for Sec. 5: See Appendix, Note 1.)
Sec. 6. (Repealed Nov. 2, 1999.)
(TEMPORARY TRANSITION PROVISIONS for Sec. 6: See Appendix, Note 1.)
Sec. 7. HIDALGO COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT; CREATION; TAX RATE.
The Legislature may by law authorize the creation of a Hospital District co-extensive with Hidalgo County, having the powers and duties and with the limitations presently provided in Article IX, Section 5(a), of the Constitution of Texas, as it applies to Hidalgo County, except that the maximum rate of tax that the said Hidalgo County Hospital District may be authorized to levy shall be ten cents (10¢) per One Hundred Dollars ($100) valuation of taxable property within the District subject to district taxation.
Sec. 8. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PRECINCT NO. 4 OF COMANCHE COUNTY; HOSPITAL DISTRICT; CREATION; TAX RATE.
(a) The Legislature may by law authorize the creation of a Hospital District to be co-extensive with the limits of County Commissioners Precinct No. 4 of Comanche County, Texas.
If such District is created, it may be authorized to levy a tax not to exceed seventy-five cents (75¢) on the One Hundred Dollar ($100) valuation of taxable property within the District; provided, however, no tax may be levied until approved by a majority vote of the participating resident qualified voters. The maximum rate of tax may be changed at subsequent elections so long as obligations are not impaired, and not to exceed the maximum limit of seventy-five cents (75¢) per One Hundred Dollar ($100) valuation, and no election shall be required by subsequent changes in the boundaries of the Commissioners Precinct No. 4 of Comanche County.
If such tax is authorized, no political subdivision or municipality within or having the same boundaries as the District may levy a tax for medical or hospital care for needy individuals, nor shall they maintain or erect hospital facilities, but the District shall by resolution assume all such responsibilities and shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations (including bonds and warrants) of such subdivisions or municipalities or both. The maximum tax rate submitted shall be sufficient to discharge such obligations, liabilities, and responsibilities, and to maintain and operate the hospital system, and the Legislature may authorize the District to issue tax bonds for the purpose of the purchase, construction, acquisition, repair or renovation of improvements and initially equipping the same, and such bonds shall be payable from said seventy-five cent (75¢) tax. The Legislature shall provide for transfer of title to properties to the District.
(b) The Legislature may by law permit the County of Comanche to render financial aid to that District by paying a part of the expenses of operating and maintaining the system and paying a part of the debts of the District (whether assumed or created by the District) and may authorize the levy of a tax not to exceed ten cents (10¢) per One Hundred Dollar ($100) valuation (in addition to other taxes permitted by this Constitution) upon all property within the County but without the County Commissioners Precinct No. 4 of Comanche County at the time such levy is made for such purposes. If such tax is authorized, the District shall by resolution assume the responsibilities, obligations, and liabilities of the County in the manner and to the extent hereinabove provided for political subdivisions having boundaries co-extensive with the District, and the County shall not thereafter levy taxes (other than herein provided) for hospital purposes nor for providing hospital care for needy individuals of the County.
(c) Should the Legislature enact enabling laws in anticipation of the adoption of this amendment, such Acts shall not be invalid because of their anticipatory character.

Sec. 9. HOSPITAL DISTRICTS; CREATION, OPERATION, POWERS, DUTIES AND DISSOLUTION.
The Legislature may by general or special law provide for the creation, establishment, maintenance and operation of hospital districts composed of one or more counties or all or any part of one or more counties with power to issue bonds for the purchase, construction, acquisition, repair or renovation of buildings and improvements and equipping same, for hospital purposes; providing for the transfer to the hospital district of the title to any land, buildings, improvements and equipment located wholly within the district which may be jointly or separately owned by any city, town or county, providing that any district so created shall assume full responsibility for providing medical and hospital care for its needy inhabitants and assume the outstanding indebtedness incurred by cities, towns and counties for hospital purposes prior to the creation of the district, if same are located wholly within its boundaries, and a pro rata portion of such indebtedness based upon the then last approved tax assessment rolls of the included cities, towns and counties if less than all the territory thereof is included within the district boundaries; providing that after its creation no other municipality or political subdivision shall have the power to levy taxes or issue bonds or other obligations for hospital purposes or for providing medical care within the boundaries of the district; providing for the levy of annual taxes at a rate not to exceed seventy-five cents ($ .75) on the One Hundred Dollar valuation of all taxable property within such district for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the district's bonds, the indebtedness assumed by it and its maintenance and operating expenses, providing that such district shall not be created or such tax authorized unless approved by a majority of the qualified voters thereof voting at an election called for the purpose; and providing further that the support and maintenance of the district's hospital system shall never become a charge against or obligation of the State of Texas nor shall any direct appropriation be made by the Legislature for the construction, maintenance or improvement of any of the facilities of such district.
Provided, however, that no district shall be created by special law except after thirty (30) days' public notice to the district affected, and in no event may the Legislature provide for a district to be created without the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified voters in the district concerned.
The Legislature may also provide for the dissolution of hospital districts provided that a process is afforded by statute for:
(1) determining the desire of a majority of the qualified voters within the district to dissolve it;
(2) disposing of or transferring the assets, if any, of the district; and
(3) satisfying the debts and bond obligations, if any, of the district, in such manner as to protect the interests of the citizens within the district, including their collective property rights in the assets and property of the district, provided, however, that any grant from federal funds, however dispensed, shall be considered an obligation to be repaid in satisfaction and provided that no election to dissolve shall be held more often than once each year. In such connection, the statute shall provide against disposal or transfer of the assets of the district except for due compensation unless such assets are transferred to another governmental agency, such as a county, embracing such district and using such transferred assets in such a way as to benefit citizens formerly within the district.
(Added Nov. 6, 1962; amended Nov. 8, 1966, and Nov. 7, 1989.)

No more than one (1) such election may be called in a county until after the expiration of one (1) year in the event such an election has failed, and thereafter only upon a petition of ten per cent (10%) of the qualified voters being presented to the Commissioners Court or Commissioners Courts of the county or counties in which such an election has failed. In the event that two or more counties vote on the proposition of the creation of an Authority therein, the proposition shall not be deemed to carry unless the majority of the qualified voters in each county voting thereon vote in favor thereof. An Airport Authority may be created and be composed of the county or counties that vote in favor of its creation if separate propositions are submitted to the voters of each county so that they may vote for a two or more county Authority or a single county Authority.

In the event of such acquisition, if there are any general obligation bonds that the owner of the publicly owned airport facility has outstanding, the same shall be fully assumed by the Authority and sufficient taxes levied by the Authority to discharge said outstanding indebtedness. If any city or owner has outstanding revenue bonds where the revenues of the airport have been pledged or said bonds constitute a lien against the airport facilities, the Authority shall assume and discharge all the obligations of the city under the ordinances and bond indentures under which said revenue bonds have been issued and sold.
(f) Any city which owns airport facilities not serving certificated airlines which are not purchased or acquired or taken over as herein provided by such Authority shall have the power to operate the same under the existing laws or as the same may hereafter be amended.
(g) Any such Authority when created may be granted the power and authority to promulgate, adopt and enforce appropriate zoning regulations to protect the airport from hazards and obstructions which would interfere with the use of the airport and its facilities for landing and take-off.
(h) An additional county or counties may be added to an existing Authority if a petition of five per cent (5%) of the qualified voters is filed with and an election is called by the Commissioners Court of the county or counties seeking admission to an Authority.

Social Development in the Gifted
Social Development or Socialization?
A New Twist on the Gifted Woman as Imposter
Perfectionism as a Vehicle for Transformation
Are Gifted Children Frequently Misdiagnosed?
Keynote address for 9th International Congress on The Theory of Positive Disintegration, St. Charles, IL, July 24, 2010
While hard work and effort are applauded, "working too hard" is considered a personality flaw. Perfectionistic tendencies have been pathologized in both psychology and education. Perfectionism has been defined as a compulsive straining toward impossible goals, focusing on flaws, a psychic wound, obsession, belief that one can never be good enough, a constant state of anxiety about making errors, belief that others hold excessive expectations for oneself, etc. All of these manifestations fit within Level II of Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration (TPD). Anxiety is common at Level II, strongly influenced by the environment. Another form of perfectionism is directed at others, rather than at the self (e.g., "If I ask someone to do something, I expect it to be done flawlessly.") This narcissistic form of perfectionism appears to fit the description of Level I in TPD.
Dabrowski's theory offers a template for perceiving the positive value of perfectionism in the development of the personality. Following the Levels of Functions outlined in Theory of Levels of Emotional Development, Volume 1 (Dabrowski, with Piechowski, 1977), perfectionism could be displayed very differently at each level of development, have different causes, and have a significantly different impact on the personality. Most of the literature focuses on the manifestations of this trait at Level II. Some writers carefully distinguish between perfectionism, which they equate with the fear of "not being good enough," and "striving for excellence," which they condone as a desirable trait. One wonders how U. S. Olympic champion figure-skater, Evan Lysacek, would be perceived through this lens; it has been said that his coach had to beg him to stop practicing. It is difficult to imagine an Olympic contender who is not perfectionistic.
Most of the instruments developed to measure perfectionism are based on the assumption that this is a negative characteristic. One of the most popular instruments, the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, created by Hewitt and Flett (1991) for studying clinical populations, divides perfectionists into three categories: self-oriented (being filled with self-doubt); other-oriented (holding unrealistic expectations of others); and socially prescribed (feeling that others set too high expectations for them). Another Mutidimensional Perfectionism Scale, created by Frost, Marten, Lahart and Rosenblate (1990) to study nonclinical groups, measures five facets: personal standards; parental expectations; parental criticism; concern over mistakes and doubts about actions; and organization. Although some of these dimensions are more positive, this instrument still provides a negative impression of perfectionism. Studies employing negatively-tinged tools add empirical data to support the prevailing views.
Some researchers acknowledge a healthy form of perfectionism; however, the role that this trait plays in setting, striving for, and reaching multilevel values, has not been investigated. A healthier appreciation of the trait will be necessary in order for new instruments to be created that can examine the relationship between perfectionism and multilevel development. The lens of TPD offers that possibility.
Multilevel development involves striving to become one's best self. At Level III, the individual becomes a seeker of self-perfection. Instead of feeling inferior to others or feeling inadequate to meet expectations of others, the person becomes aware of his or her potential to be fully human and may feel inferior to that potentiality. Gaining a glimpse of the possibilities in oneself for integrity, empathy, wisdom and harmony is a powerful incentive for growth. When perfectionism merges with the dynamisms that emerge at Level III, it catalyzes the work of inner transformation.
At higher levels of development in TPD, perfectionism acts as an agent of transformation. It needs to be appreciated for its positive benefits for personal growth, rather than eliminated. Individuals can learn how to channel perfectionism positively.

Welcome to the world of mediocre!
It's time to show off what I have on my first real project on SMW Central that I started over a month ago. I've attempted projects before, but they never came close to being finished. This is trying nothing special, but it's supposed to try to match the feelings of the original SMW while still feeling fresh and, most importantly, fun.
This thread is all about showing off the goods. If you want more info on the background of this hack including the proposed story, please click here and follow that thread after C3 ends. As always, feedback is very much appreciated!
Everything still is in the VERY VERY early stages, and all of it is subject to change. You'll find screenshots and videos for levels that are not featured in the demo as they're not in a playable state at the moment!
The demo is the first four levels created for the hack. You will be able to play them in any order you like, and it should be said that the map featured will definitely NOT be in the final product.
The levels fully playable in the demo are:
Simple Enough?
Seeing Some Saws
Glimmering Tundra
Foresta Maestosa

For something very early in dev, it looks really cool!
Even in the later screencaps, you can see the difficulty tense up.
Hope you finish your hack!

I've been watching this thread in the WIP Section of the site and I must says its pretty uncanny how much you have made the levels feel like something I would of saw 10 years ago.
I think its mainly due to the usage of Vanilla Assets and Palettes that cements the hacks foundations with its classic aesthetic.
The Custom Tracks fit pretty well as I think we have all gotten sick of hearing them over the many years we have spent hacking.
I'll have to give the Demo a try next week when I free time as these Vanilla Romps are something I take great delight in playing.
Also the Map is looking pretty nice. I like that the cliffs are shorter than those found in the original SMW.
Anyways Nice Work & Good Luck on finishing this project.

So, this hack's not entirely my thing so maybe take my criticism with a grain of salt, but I thought it'd be nice to play through anyways.
The first level's fairly basic and I don't have much to say, but the banzai bill at the end feels like a bit cheap, it didn't get me personally but it's much more difficult to react to than anything else in the level.
The autoscroller in the second level actually didn't feel boring, it definitely felt better than I thought back when I watched a video of the level, my main issue here is actually with the second half, the koopas behind the grass feel more annoying than anything and the bullet bill generator doesn't really add anything of value to the level. Otherwise pretty solid for what it is
Glimmering Tundra had my first death, it's definitely more lategame but honestly it's really nice, the ice physics are... Not my favorite thing honestly, but I liked the skull raft sections and the falling platforms being used like that, the level has a really nice flow and doesn't make you wait. You'd expect me to complain about the shell-kicker after the checkpoint slide but honestly that felt like a continuation of the flow the level has going for it that it felt completely natural. This one's definitely my favorite.
The last level is sadly probably my least favorite, it feels a bit all-over-the-place and unfocused, it's like you tried to cram every forest of illusion gimmick into one level. In the end it makes it feel like the level isn't going anywhere with it's ideas and instead just throwing more of them at the player and it feels generally less cohesive than the other levels in this.
PS: A life farm might've been a good idea, I didn't struggle too much but 5 lives is pretty low
Originally posted by Sancles
It's all good. Glad you decided to give it a shot.
I do definitely agree with your opinions on the last level. The level was being made when I was sort of confused on where I wanted to go with the project, and so much of the level didn't have the proper focus I wanted in the first place. I wanted it to be an introduction to the forest world, but like you said, it's like I tried to cram every Forest of Illusion gimmick into one level and tried too much.
The tundra level, I honestly thought you were going to be more harsh on. I thought that would have been the worst one because of the raft sections dragging the level down too much. The fact that it's your favorite, that's pretty awesome actually.
The second level, again, I do agree with what you said about the second half. Originally, I actually had a diagonal Bullet Bill generator in place, but I realized it actually made it more difficult than it needed to be, hence why the standard one is in place. It's something I've been wanting to revisit once I final the world the level appears in eventually.
As for the first level, no complaints really. I think I just put the Banzai Bill there because I wanted something to throw the player off after an easy level, but since it is the first level, it would definitely be a bit dickish if I did that.
Thanks for giving some feedback. I'll definitely take it into consideration when I, again, finalize the worlds and what not.

This was a nice fun romp. It is not exactly my style, but there are some similarities to what I do and like. I liked how the levels were not long (as I tend to dislike long levels) and were focused upon some sort of concept, which was performed better than SMW.
A few notes that I had:
- I don't like backtracking to get Dragon Coins, and I had to do so. It was nothing major by any means, but just something I disliked.
- The Banzai Bill jumpscared me.
- This level is pretty good, but is definitely a step up from the first. I would suggest putting this level further on in the game if you haven't already.
- The autoscroll section was a tad boring, but was decent enough.
- This is an icy cavern, not a tundra. I would suggest changing the name. Maybe just Glimmering Cavern or something of the like?
- This was probably my least favorite level, as it felt repetitive in some spots. I was just on the skull raft, jumping and waiting for the end. It could use some polishing and some "spicing up".
- This felt like the most unfocused level, but was fun. The "enemies in bubbles" theme I noticed was quite weak and the design was very safe, only increasing the height of the "bubble towers". The bubble enemies were quite easy to avoid and did not add much to the level.
- I really like level cohesion, so I think that your world would be quite interesting with seemingly connected areas. However, this is just my preference and omitting the aforementioned suggestion would do little to inhibit the quality of the product.
Much more than mediocre work, Lotica!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the mediocre thing is just something to poke fun at is all.
I do agree with bubble gimmick being very safe. It works in some areas, but it's more of a distraction rather than an actual obstacle. You take them out, and you practically have the same level. I'm planning on restructuring that level completely. It was made around the time I decided to rethink my strategy on the hack to avoid being burnt out again, so it's a bit mismanaged in direction.
For the tundra level, it's a mixed level for some I've noticed. It's definitely my least favorite, hence why I only showed it off until C3. The raft parts are the definite culprit. I tried to make it where the raft and ice physics would create a challenge, but it seemed like what you said: "jumping and waiting for the end".
The second level will definitely be saved for a later world. I'm thinking more on the lines of a sky world. The autoscroll section has been the major complaint from a lot of people, so either I'm going to scrap that completely and work off of what I have in the second section, or I'm going to rework it so it doesn't feel so awkward with the autoscroll off.
As for the first level, I don't like backtracking either, but seeing how the Dragon Coin wasn't that far away from the pipe exit, I didn't see it as an issue personally. I would assume players would go to the left because they'll think they've missed something and automatically find the coin there. The Banzai Bill, yeah, that's definitely going to be removed seeing how I've had several complaints about that.
Seriously, thanks for the suggestions. They'll definitely be considered when I start going over the levels in due time.

The little demo was a really pleasant quick late night playthrough And it confirmed my expectations - this is really fun. And the fact you pulled off something I legitimately enjoyed with completely vanilla aesthetics, which I'm pretty tired of at this point, certainly tells something about your level design. Still, nice call with the minimalist status bar - I have to say it helps a lot in making your hack stand out from SMW visually.
The thing I like the most about your design is how packed it is - you don't waste a single bit of any level with filler, vary the setups a lot, and you do that just the right amount to not make your levels feel cluttered, overwhelming or disjointed.
I think you nailed most music choices so far (in the demo, at least), but I thought the cave sublevel in the first stage didn't fit very well at all. For this style, songs with instrumentation closer to vanilla fit best I feel like! (I think those are vanilla samples, but there's something about them that didn't go right with the look of SMW's cavern)
I'll stay in touch with the development of this, you know I will~

I really appreciate all the comments. I'll hopefully be working on another level over the weekend and will be showing that off in screenshot form. It should be the first castle of the game, just ad a clue.

I was gonna play this earlier today but never got around to it. Luckily FP just streamed it on the C3 stream so I didn't need to play it to see it fully
This is looking great, though! I've been longing that feels like SMW for a good while, and I feel this may just fill that void. I've been lurking following the progress in the WIP too.
I look forward to seeing more. I'll be sure to play the short and sweet demo for myself at some point, too.

Glad you caught it on the stream! Good to know others have the same goal of trying to find that SMW hack that goes back to the basics. I was actually amazed when multiple people told me this same thing.
It's still shocking to me the positive reception this thing is getting. I was personally nervous when I decided to release the demo. I was thinking it was going to be considered generic and what not, but seeing that it's the opposite to many people, that's awesome. Even though this is a project I'm doing for fun, it's still great to see this reception.
Thank you everyone!
Well, I know it's not much, but I kind of wanted to tease some levels that are being worked on at the moment. These have been started over the weekend and with the holiday, things have been crazy. Still, I'll show off what I have and talk about the plans for these levels.
I should also note, both of these levels are based on old ideas that never panned out properly. Some of you may recognize the level designs somewhat. These images are too big, so they'll just be links. I do apologize.
First, we have Net Neutrality, the first world castle.
Image Preview Here
I always felt that Nintendo missed the potential with the net gimmick in the original Mario World. So, I wanted to experiment with they could be used efficiently. Of course, that's farfetched to say, but hey, put your mind to it, and it can work. The biggest issue is making the encounters not just a simple "move here and avoid the baddies". I'll be continuing to experiment with this one.
Next, we have Nightly Hijinks, a level that will either be meant for the sky world or even a special world. That hasn't been determined.
The idea with this level is to utilize the grey rotating platforms in interesting scenarios. This level was just started late last night because I couldn't go to bed, so the details are real fuzzy. I think it started from listening to Tamaki's port of Roller Coaster, and it made me want to make a level utilizing the song. This one will be tough to make, because I want it to be a calm experience, but since it will be a later level, the difficulty will have to ramp up as a result. I'll think closely about where this will need to go difficulty wise down the line.
That's all I have for the moment. Hope you guys have a good one!

Hey Lotica! As I have already said to you, I like how this hack is turning out. It seems to have it's own style, gimmick-focused for the most part and setup-based, but I like that unlike kaizo hacks (and a lot of modern hacks) there are a ton of ways to go around the setups.
I would like to give you advise since it seems like you have some doubts regrading level placement and difficulty: I suggest first designing all the levels and after that, deciding regarding world theming and their ordering. It's a lot more natural to adapt the level ordering/world theming to the level's difficulty than the inverse.
Also, beware of the scope of the project. I prefer to make well made, short hacks such as the one I released this C3 rather than going with the biggest hack of all with +100 exits, specially if it's your first release, since you will have a lot less levels to worry about and more time to polish them.


RENO, Nevada, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Replacing the word "we" with the word "you" in your marketing and sales messaging may create a double-digit improvement in key responses, according to a new simulation-based study performed by Corporate Visions, in collaboration with professor Nick Lee from the Warwick School of Business.
In prospecting emails, using the word "you" instead of "we" increased respondents feeling "personally responsible for solving the problem" by 21 percent. And, it made them feel 13 percent more strongly that they "need to take action to fix that problem."
In solution stories, such as those used on landing pages, in sales flyers or selling presentations, using the word "you" instead of "we" drove an 11 percent "more convincing business case," and a 10 percent increase in "the likelihood of making a purchase decision," according to the responses of the simulation participants.
"As you look for ways to improve your 'personalization approach' in marketing demand generation campaigns and sales tools or conversations, you will want to consider changing the pronouns you use from 'we' to 'you' based on these findings," said Tim Riesterer, chief strategy officer for Corporate Visions.
Most companies, however, use "we-phrasing" today, either to promote their own credibility, such as "we did this, and we do that." Or, they do it to promote collaboration and partnership, such as "we work with companies to do this or do that." In fact, 47 percent of marketing and salespeople in an industry survey also conducted by Corporate Visions said they deliberately take a "we-phrasing" approach compared to 40 percent who said they "you phrase."
The concept of you-phrasing as a replacement for we-phrasing, while slightly obscure, has been around for decades in the academic realms of social psychology and behavioral economics. The premise is that you-phrasing does a better job of unconsciously grabbing attention and transferring ownership to your listener. Getting your would-be buyer to personally "try on" the concepts you are sharing – both the problem and the solution.
"Given how hard it is to create pipeline and close deals, marketers and salespeople should be looking for any advantage you can give yourself. Winning is often finding a small edge or incremental advantage," Riesterer added. "Based on this research, it appears one improvement you can confidently and easily make tomorrow is to replace all of your we-phrasing with you-phrasing."

Nel 1990 la produzione di I segreti di Twin Peaks le affidò la parte di Norma Jennings, che le fece guadagnare una nomina ai Soap Opera Digest Awards. Il personaggio fu da lei interpretato anche nel prequel Fuoco cammina con me.

Nel 2002 recitò a teatro nell'opera I monologhi della vagina. Nel 2005 uscì la sua prima autobiografia, dal titolo Breathing Out. Nel 2010, dopo diversi anni di assenza, tornò al cinema con La fontana dell'amore. Nel 2017 partecipò al film Qua la zampa! e tornò poi a vestire i panni di Norma Jennings in I segreti di Twin Peaks.

Hans Liefrinck, född troligen 1518 i Augsburg, död 1573 i Antwerpen, var en sydnederländsk kopparstickare, formskärare och förläggare.

Han var gift med Catharina Cordier och far till Hans Liefrink. Liefrinck blev medlem i Antwerpens Lucasgille 1538 och fick 1546 privilegium som kopparstickare, formskärare och tryckare. Han utsåg till ålderman i gillet 1558. Man vet med säkerhet att de blad som är försedda med hans förläggaradress är stuckna av honom själv. Han utgav från 1562 en serie med regentporträtt där han har utfört ett helfigursporträtt av Erik XIV, bilden är troligen utförd efter en förlaga av Willem Boy. Liefrinck är representerad med tryck vid Rijksmuseum i Amsterdam.

Take your mom/daughter to Italy—a great Mother's Day gift!
Have you heard? Ellen March, Sew News content director and Sew it All TV host is going to Italy on a fashion tour with BurdaStyle's Meg Healy this fall. And you can come too! Limited spots are available and the tour registration closes next week, so it's time to commit and make sure your passport is valid! Read on to learn more about the tour and take the leap to have the best vacation ever.
Hi Meg! I can't wait to go to Italy with you this fall. It sounds like such an amazing trip. Tell everyone a bit about the tour.
This tour is all about fashion in Italy – where it is made, how it is made, and everything in between. It is great trip if you haven't or even have been to Italy before, it hits all the hot spots in terms of site seeing and has plenty of prearranged experiences, like fabric factory tours, and studio visits that you couldn't have found yourself.
What's the best part about an organized tour like this?
For me, it was that I didn't have to plan a thing – everything was taken care of and all you have to do is sit back and enjoy all the things that Italy has to offer.
Are we always traveling with the group or is there alone time, too?
The majority of the tour is with everyone, but there is also lots of opportunity to enjoy Italy on your own. Most evenings you are able to wander and enjoy dinner on your own, and in the major shopping destinations like Florence there are times allotted for plenty of shopping and eating! Also, the tour guide is fabulous at establishing meeting points and times for those who choose to "opt out" of certain activities or day trips if they prefer to do their own thing – it is very accommodating.
What was your favorite part about last year's tour?
There were two experiences that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I know my tour mates did as well. First off, our evening trip to a family-run Tuscany Winery and cooking school where we learned how to make fresh pasta and then indulged in a 5-course meal with wine pairings.
Then the behind the scenes tour of a modern fabric printing factory where we saw designer fabric prints being made by silk screening, digital prints, and weaving – let's just say it was so exclusive we couldn't even take pictures of what we saw since they were the fabrics in preparation for future runway shows in Paris, Milan, and London.
I'm really not a pasta loving person back home – but in Italy the Carbonara was just divine I had in Florence on our walking tour lunch break.
I also thoroughly enjoyed every Caprese salad I had, and especially this one seaside with a refreshing glass of Prosecco while we explored the little towns of Cinque Terre.
Did you go shopping? What was your favorite item that you bought?
Oh yes I went shopping! Before dinner one evening in Montecatini Terme I popped in a few shops and found these amazing leather boots – I knew going into the trip that I just had to purchase some leather shoes and these were perfect. A new friend I made on the tour went shopping with me and also bought the same pair!
Did you have to spend a lot of money aside from the tour cost?
The only extra money you have to spend is on personal shopping and some dinners and lunches! Every breakfast is included (and omg, the hotel Italian breakfast spreads are amazing), and all travel and admissions are covered as well. So depending on your shopping habits and taste for fine cuisine – you can spend what is in your budget.
You traveled alone. Did you make friends? Were you nervous traveling by yourself?
In the beginning I was a bit nervous about travelling alone, but literally as soon as I hopped of the plane in Milan I was surrounded by an excited group of tour mates. There were mostly groups of two – husbands with their wives, best friends, mothers and daughters but there were also a number of people that travelled by themselves. I saw friendships forms between groups and individuals and even made some new friends myself! By the end of the trip one tour mate gathered every one's email so that we could still all be connected.
Yes! I love mother/daughter trips! I'm bringing my mom to celebrate her 70th birthday. I can't wait to spend this quality time with her experiencing the scenery, great food and sewing-related activities. It will be an experience we will never forget, I'm sure. Can you gift the tour? Sounds like a great Mother's Day present!
Yes totally! This tour would make a Mother's Day present that one wouldn't forget.
What if you want to find your own airfare? Are there options?
Many people actually chose the "land only" fare option ($3,097) since they made their own flight arrangements to further explore Italy or other parts of Europe.
So nice! I love a good hotel and every one we stayed in Italy was fabulous. My favorite was the Grand Hotel & La Pace, which we stayed for the majority of the trip in Montecatini Terme. It was a quintessential European classic hotel and made the whole experience authentic.
This year we are putting together some great surprises for the bus rides including a group craft and other fun goodies!
We really hope you can join us. Call 815-663-4046 or Toll-Free at: 877-887-1188 - USA or Canada for more info about the tour and/or to register. Or visit the Craftours website.

Use the yum_repository resource to manage a Yum repository configuration file located at /etc/yum.repos.d/repositoryid.repo on the local machine. This configuration file specifies which repositories to reference, how to handle cached data, etc.
New in Chef Client 12.14.
description                String # default value: "Yum Repository"
mode                       String, Integer # default value: "0644"
baseurl, clean_headers, clean_metadata, cost, description, enabled, enablegroups, exclude, failovermethod, fastestmirror_enabled, gpgcheck, gpgkey, http_caching, include_config, includepkgs, keepalive, make_cache, max_retries, metadata_expire, metalink, mirror_expire, mirrorlist, mirrorlist_expire, mode, options, password, priority, proxy, proxy_password, proxy_username, repo_gpgcheck, report_instanceid, repositoryid, skip_if_unavailable, source, sslcacert, sslclientcert, sslclientkey, sslverify, throttle, timeout, and username are the properties available to this resource.
Creates a repository file and builds the repository listing.
URL to the directory where the Yum repository's 'repodata' directory lives. Can be an http://, https:// or a ftp:// URL. You can specify multiple URLs in one baseurl statement.
Specifies whether you want to purge the package data files that are downloaded from a Yum repository and held in a cache directory.
Specifies whether you want to purge all of the packages downloaded from a Yum repository and held in a cache directory.
Relative cost of accessing this repository. Useful for weighing one repo's packages as greater/less than any other.
Ruby Type: String | Default Value: "Yum Repository"
Descriptive name for the repository channel and maps to the 'name' parameter in a repository .conf.
Specifies whether or not Yum should use this repository.
Specifies whether Yum will allow the use of package groups for this repository.
List of packages to exclude from updates or installs. This should be a space separated list. Shell globs using wildcards (eg. * and ?) are allowed.
Method to determine how to switch to a new server if the current one fails, which can either be roundrobin or priority. roundrobin randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host. priority starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them sequentially.
Specifies whether to use the fastest mirror from a repository configuration when more than one mirror is listed in that configuration.
Specifies whether or not Yum should perform a GPG signature check on the packages received from a repository.
URL pointing to the ASCII-armored GPG key file for the repository. This is used if Yum needs a public key to verify a package and the required key hasn't been imported into the RPM database. If this option is set, Yum will automatically import the key from the specified URL.
Multiple URLs may be specified in the same manner as the baseurl option. If a GPG key is required to install a package from a repository, all keys specified for that repository will be installed.
all means that all HTTP downloads should be cached.
packages means that only RPM package downloads should be cached, but not repository metadata downloads.
none means that no HTTP downloads should be cached.
The default is all. This is recommended unless you are experiencing caching related issues.
An external configuration file using the format url://to/some/location.
Inverse of exclude property. This is a list of packages you want to use from a repository. If this option lists only one package then that is all Yum will ever see from the repository.
Determines whether or not HTTP/1.1 keep-alive should be used with this repository.
Determines whether package files downloaded by Yum stay in cache directories. By using cached data, you can carry out certain operations without a network connection.
Number of times any attempt to retrieve a file should retry before returning an error. Setting this to '0' makes Yum try forever.
Time (in seconds) after which the metadata will expire. If the current metadata downloaded is less than the value specified, then Yum will not update the metadata against the repository. If you find that Yum is not downloading information on updates as often as you would like lower the value of this option. You can also change from the default of using seconds to using days, hours or minutes by appending a 'd', 'h' or 'm' respectively. The default is six hours to compliment yum-updates running once per hour. It is also possible to use the word never, meaning that the metadata will never expire. Note: When using a metalink file, the metalink must always be newer than the metadata for the repository due to the validation, so this timeout also applies to the metalink file.
When using a metalink file, the metalink must always be newer than the metadata for the repository due to the validation, so this timeout also applies to the metalink file.
Specifies a URL to a metalink file for the repomd.xml, a list of mirrors for the entire repository are generated by converting the mirrors for the repomd.xml file to a baseurl.
Time (in seconds) after which the mirrorlist locally cached will expire. If the current mirrorlist is less than this many seconds old then Yum will not download another copy of the mirrorlist, it has the same extra format as metadata_expire. If you find that Yum is not downloading the mirrorlists as often as you would like lower the value of this option. You can also change from the default of using seconds to using days, hours or minutes by appending a 'd', 'h' or 'm' respectively.
URL to a file containing a list of baseurls. This can be used instead of or with the baseurl option. Substitution variables, described below, can be used with this option.
Specifies the time (in seconds) after which the mirrorlist locally cached will expire. If the current mirrorlist is less than the value specified, then Yum will not download another copy of the mirrorlist. You can also change from the default of using seconds to using days, hours or minutes by appending a 'd', 'h' or 'm' respectively.
Ruby Type: String, Integer | Default Value: "0644"
Permissions mode of .repo file on disk. This is useful for scenarios where secrets are in the repo file. If this value is set to '600', normal users will not be able to use Yum search, Yum info, etc.
Password to use with the username for basic authentication.
Assigns a priority to a repository where the priority value is between '1' and '99' inclusive. Priorities are used to enforce ordered protection of repositories. Packages from repositories with a lower priority (higher numerical value) will never be used to upgrade packages that were installed from a repository with a higher priority (lower numerical value). The repositories with the lowest numerical priority number have the highest priority.
URL to the proxy server that Yum should use.
Username to use for proxy.
Determines whether or not Yum should perform a GPG signature check on the repodata from this repository.
Determines whether to report the instance ID when using Amazon Linux AMIs and repositories.
An optional property to set the repository name if it differs from the resource block's name.
Allow yum to continue if this repository cannot be contacted for any reason.
Use a custom template source instead of the default one.
Path to the directory containing the databases of the certificate authorities Yum should use to verify SSL certificates.
Path to the SSL client certificate Yum should use to connect to repos/remote sites.
Path to the SSL client key Yum should use to connect to repos/remote sites.
Determines whether Yum will verify SSL certificates/hosts.
Enable bandwidth throttling for downloads.
Number of seconds to wait for a connection before timing out. Defaults to 30 seconds. This may be too short of a time for extremely overloaded sites.
Username to use for basic authentication to a repository.
