Now we come to the most complicated part of Priest Soldier Sorcerer Spy: actions! There are a lot of rules here because we tried to address the most common actions a character would attempt. However, just because we wrote it down doesn't mean you have to use it, nor should you feel constrained from making a call if a situation arises that we did not anticipate. You should treat these rules as examples, not as restrictions on your own sense of fun and fair play.
If you can play a fun game of Priest Soldier Sorcerer Spy without referring to these rules, you should. Applying your best judgement is often a better solution than trying to find a rule that applies to a specific situation. Remember that player choice, not the roll of the dice, drives the game.
Round 1 Soraya's turn
Virek-Kohl's turn
Issvisk's turn
Virek-Kohl's lackeys' turn
Combat starts when Soraya runs around a corner and sees Virek-Kohl, who is giving commands to his lackeys. The GM declares that the order of play is Soraya, then Virek-Kohl, then Virek-Kohl's lackeys.
On the second round, Issvisk runs around the corner, startling Virek-Kohl's lackeys because, wow, that guy is huge. The GM declares that the order of play is Soraya, then Virek-Kohl, then Issvisk, then Virek-Kohl's lackeys.
On the third round, Soraya delays her turn, waiting to see what Issvisk does. When it is Issvisk's turn, he attempts to grapple with Virek-Kohl. Soraya uses her delayed turn to assist Issvisk by combining her attack with his.
Round 3 Virek-Kohl's turn
Soraya's turn (delayed)
Sometimes a character might need to take a desperate action before they have had the opportunity to take their turn in a round or after they have already taken their turn in a round. This is known as forcing the character's action. Forcing an action allows a character to sacrifice their next turn in order to block, dodge, dive clear, or take another purely defensive action. A forced action can also be used to take a defensive action on someone else's behalf, such as diving in front of an attack to protect an innocent bystander. The character may not force an action which the GM could construe as an attack, such as blocking a crossbow bolt with an opponent's unconscious body or running into someone. When a character forces their action, they sacrifice their next available turn, whether that action would be in the current round or on the next round. A character may only force an action once per round.
Continuing from the previous example, on the fifth round, the order of play is Soraya, then Virek-Kohl, then Issvisk, then Virek-Kohl's lackeys.
On the sixth round, Soraya makes short work of two of Virek-Kohl's lackeys with a sweep attack. Virek-Kohl then pulls out a crossbow, aims it at Issvisk, and fires. Soraya forces her next action to leap between Virek-Kohl and Issvisk, taking the full brunt of Virek-Kohl's attack.
Soraya's turn (forced from round 7)
On the seventh round, Soraya loses her turn because she forced it in the previous round.
Movement Action
With a movement action, a character may move the distance permitted by their Agility and/or Brawn (walking, swimming, or jumping), or they may use magic to move up to the distance that the spell allows. With the GM's permission, the character may instead perform any equivalent action: opening a barred gate, standing up from a prone or seated position, controlling a mount, or what have you.
With a standard action, a character may attempt to perform one task. This could be attempting a skill roll, attempting to attack an opponent in combat, casting a spell and attacking someone with it, or a similar activity. Under normal circumstances, a character can perform this action before, during, or after they move.
A free action takes essentially no time. A character can't perform free actions until it is their turn to act in the round, but during their turn, they can perform as many free actions as the GM deems reasonable (perhaps as many as a half dozen). Typical free actions include dropping a weapon, crouching behind cover, and so on.
Like a free action, a roleplay action takes essentially no time. During their turn, the character can perform as many roleplay actions as the GM deems reasonable (perhaps as many as a half dozen). Typical roleplay actions include banter with the character's teammates, making fun of an enemy's name or clothing, or declaring that the opponent "shall not pass".
Unlike free actions, a character can usually perform roleplay actions at any time, whether it is their turn or not. Priest Soldier Sorcerer Spy makes roleplaying an explicit action during combat to encourage players to roleplay. In the heat of combat, it can be easy to forget that roleplaying is an essential part of the game.
When making a skill roll, the character may add the power level (PL) rating of the equipment to their roll. Simple or multipurpose equipment, such as a basic lockpick, generally has a PL of 1. Ordinary equipment, such as a reasonably complete box of tools, would have a PL of 2. Special-purpose or very high quality equipment, such as a complete surgical theatre, would have a PL of 3.
Some abilities allow a character to add their Power Level to a skill roll. If the character has more than one such ability, the character's Power Level is added to their skill roll only once. The PL from a character's powers does not usually stack with the PL of their equipment: the character gets the benefit of whichever PL is greater.
Each attack, whether from a spell or an ordinary weapon, is one of three types: normal, mental, or modification.
Most attacks are normal attacks. A successful normal attack reduces the target's current Endurance. Clubs, swords, and spells such as Arcane Blast are all normal attacks. Armor and spells such as Arcane Shield are effective against normal attacks. Normal attacks are usually resolved with Agility rolls or Brawn rolls. Normal attacks are usually obvious when used.
Mental attacks are those which affect the target's mind directly. Conventional defenses such as armor and Arcane Shield are not effective against mental attacks: only Mental Resistance is effective against mental attacks. Mental attacks are usually resolved with Presence rolls. Mental attacks are obvious to anyone who has Mental Resistance or mental powers, but are usually invisible to everyone else.
Modification attacks are those which transform the target in some way, or which affect one of the target's attributes other than Endurance. Conventional defenses such as armor and Arcane Shield are not effective against modification attacks: only Modification Resistance is effective against modification attacks. Modification attacks are usually resolved with Agility rolls or Brawn rolls. Modification attacks are usually obvious when used.
A character's roll may have one or more bonus dice and one or more penalty dice. For example, a circumstance that makes an attack more difficult would impose a penalty die on the attack, while a circumstance that makes it easier to defend against attacks would grant a bonus die to the defender. Each bonus die adds one to the number of dice the player rolls, while each penalty die subtracts one from the number of dice the player rolls. If the combined bonus dice and penalty dice reduce the number of dice rolled to zero, the task is simply impossible.
Table: Bonuses and penalties
Attacker can't perceive defender1 Penalty die
Sensory Attacks
A character hiding behind an obstruction is more difficult to hit. The defender gains a bonus die.
There are four range bands: close, short, medium, and long. Close range is the distance that a character can reach with their hands or with a hand-held weapon: anywhere from "in your face" up to about one meter. Short range is the distance that a character can easily reach with small hand-held weapons, or with thrown weapons with a bit of luck: up to 10 meters. Medium range is too far for thrown weapons, but is within range of most hand-held ranged weapons: up to 100 meters or so. Long range is too far for most hand-held ranged weapons, but is within range of siege engines, with careful aim: up to 1,000 meters.
Weapons and traits that are useful at a distance have an effective range given in their description. Attacking more distant targets is more difficult or impossible (at the GM's discretion). If the GM declares that the attack is possible, the attacker incurs a penalty die.
Short (10 m) Javelin, thrown axe, thrown knife
Medium (100 m) Bow, crossbow, sling
Long (1,000 m) Ballista, catapult, trebuchet
Some tasks are more complex or time-consuming than can reasonably be resolved with a single roll. For example, constructing a ship or racing through a city could both be extended tasks. When attempting an extended task, the GM sets a difficulty value and the required number of successes. The GM might also set a maximum number of attempts, to indicate tasks which have a time limit or a penalty for failure, such as disarming an alchemical bomb before it explodes. In extended opposed tasks, such as a competition between rival alchemists to create an antitoxin, the first person or team to achieve the required number of successful rolls succeeds at the task.
If the player's roll equals or exceeds the target number, the character succeeds in a completely satisfactory manner: the clue is found, the wagon is repaired, or the crossbow bolt finds its target, inflicting one point of Endurance damage. However, rolling higher than the required target number may grant additional benefits.
For example, Oksana Kwan is trying to intimidate a low-level Scorpion Brotherhood thug into revealing details about the organization's plans to distribute a new, highly addictive drug disguised as a love potion. Sadly, Oksana's player rolls poorly, and fails to intimidate the thug. Rather than having this be the end of this line of inquiry, the GM has several options.
Quid pro quo: The thug will give Oksana the information, but only if Oksana gives the thug something in exchange. This could be something as prosaic as gold, but it could be something more interesting, such as information about a rival gang or a promise to do the thug a favor later.
Red herring: The thug tells Oksana what she wants to hear, but the information is not true or it leads Oksana off on a wild goose chase. If the thug is clever, he may send Oksana after a city guard that has been causing problems for the Scorpion Brotherhood.
Stirring the pot: Oksana gets the information, but her activities attract attention. A rival organization, the Sleepers, learns of the Scorpion Brotherhood's love potion as a result of Oksana's activities, and they try to beat her to the prize. Alternately, the rival organization might use Oksana as a stalking horse, allowing Oksana and the Scorpion Brotherhood to fight each other so that the Sleepers will have an easier time taking the spoils from the winner.
Alerting the enemy: Oksana gets the information, but the Scorpion Brotherhood learns of Oksana's interest in their activities and they begin to make preparations against her. It could even be that the thug was intended to be captured by Oksana all along, in order to set her up for an ambush!
Exploding, penetrating, and stunning attacks modify attacks or how characters defend against them. Sensory and terrifying attacks have additional effects on the target, which the target may usually resist by making a roll against the attack.
In the source material which Priest Soldier Sorcerer Spy seeks to emulate, main characters very rarely die -- and even when they do, they tend to be resurrected or replaced by a sibling. That being said, if the GM and the player both agree that the game would be best served by the character taking the final bow, then so be it. It should never be merely the result of a dice roll, though.
If the grappled character succeeds in a grapple attack against the original attacker, both characters are considered restrained. Neither character can use movement actions until they break free of their opponent's grapple. Both characters incur a penalty die on all attack rolls, defense rolls, and skill rolls while restrained.
A slam or takedown is a special form of Close Combat attack that uses a target's mass and velocity against them so that they fall to the ground. A slam can represent an aikido throw, a leg sweep, a judo hip toss, or even tripping someone with an umbrella, depending on the attacker's fighting style. A slam requires a successful Close Combat (Brawn) roll against the Close Combat (Brawn) roll of the target. If the attacker's Close Combat roll is equal to or greater than the defender's roll, the defender falls to the ground and may be injured by the impact.
A character who has been slammed is prone and must normally use a movement action to get back up.
Weapons which fire multiple times per round, such as a rapid-fire crossbow, usually grant a bonus die, and they might or might not do more damage than their single-shot equivalents (PL 4 instead of PL 3, for example). However, the attack is only resolved once. Whether the damage from an attack is inflicted by one discrete injury or twelve, it's all just one Ranged Combat roll. There's no "roll damage three times" mechanic like some game systems have.
A successful sensory attack renders the target unable to see and unable to hear. A defender who can't perceive an attacker incurs a penalty die on their defense roll.
To recover from a sensory attack, the target must use a standard action to make a remarkably difficult (DV 6) Perception (Reason) roll.
If the character has not recovered from the sensory attack by the end of the scene, then they recover their senses shortly thereafter.
Each player begins each game session with one plot point. A player gains a plot point when they do something particularly entertaining or interesting, when one of their character's complications causes a serious problem for them during the game, or when the GM overrides a roll of the dice to make things more difficult for the characters. Plot points are spent to alter the game world, gain a bonus die, or gain an advantage in combat.
The examples listed here are the most common uses for plot points, but they aren't the only ones. If a player wants to spend a plot point to make something fun happen, and it has about the same impact on the game as these examples, the GM should consider permitting it. For example, let's say an earthquake has collapsed the roof of a cavern, dropping tons of rock on the characters. If a character with a Telekinesis spell wanted to spend a plot point to protect herself and her allies from being crushed, should the GM permit it? Sure! It's fun, and it doesn't unbalance the game.
Spending a plot point allows the character to immediately break free of a grapple or a lasting effect such as Fear or Telekinesis.
"Retcon" is short for "retroactive continuity": changing the past in some way that supports the current needs of the plot. This can involve the realization that a needed resource is available, but had previously been overlooked ("If we only had a wheelbarrow..."), or it can take the form of a character revealing a previously unknown era in their history, thus giving them new information. A retcon could also be used to apply a character's skills and abilities in a way that makes it seem they planned ahead in a particularly cunning way, such as having already established a false identity as a caterer in order to sneak into an exclusive banquet.

Priest Soldier Sorcerer Spy


Ordinary Goodness: 26 things to do before I turn 27.
1. Finish applying to graduate school - preferably in the next 10 days - and if accepted, begin!
2. Set aside time to journal five days a week. Avoid avoidance.
3. There are 5 rooms in my house; set a schedule for cleaning one room each day during the week.
4. Submit more pieces of writing to various publications.
6. Do a quarterly clean-out of clothing and any other excess stuff, and donate what I don't need/use.
7. Make a vision board.
8. Hold simplicity and peace close to my heart while wedding planning. For example, if scrolling through Pinterest makes me hyperventilate, don't do it!
9. Visit at least one new state.
10. Do at least two different types of exercise weekly. Right now I'm doing yoga and spin.
11. Keep better account of my grocery shopping/spending, and strive not to waste. Cooking for one, I will not miss you.
12. Hear/meet one of my writing/blogging mentors. I'm already signed up to see Rachel Held Evans this winter!
13. Spend one or more Saturdays doing a Habitat build.
14. Write letters, make calls, keep in better touch with deep-hearted, long-distance friendships.
15. If the opportunity arises, I'd love to do another engagement photo shoot. I did one last year for two friends and had a ball. Or any kind of photo shoot, really.
16. My friend Katherine came up with such a neat (and portable!) prayer practice: She went to Michael's and bought gift tags and a big key ring. She's written the names of the folks she wants to pray for, one on each tag, and goes through them as often as she can. I'd like to do something similar.
17. Strive for more compassion, less gossip.
18. A repeat from last year but always good: Try new recipes. Reading Shauna Niequist's Bread and Wine is inspiring me!
19. Another repeat from last year: Read 25 + new books.
20. I found that going gluten-free and dairy-free for about 6 weeks this fall really gave me more energy, and has helped to lessen my heartburn. I'm back into my regular eating habits now, but I think that for me, this might be something to do at least a couple of times each year, to recharge and reenergize.
21. When someone makes me happy - for whatever reason - tell them.
22. Begin to better address my tendency toward anxiety and irrational worry. I find that this is happening more frequently, often in situations that just don't warrant it. Ironically, I think my excitement about the future makes the "what ifs" bubble to the surface at a faster pace. Whether it's talking to someone, journaling, or practicing breathing/prayer/meditation, I want to find ways to counteract this unhealthy pattern.
23. Support bloggers/writers that I enjoy by buying and reading their books.
24. Maintain my fairly regular practice of unplugging on the weekends - but don't beat myself up if I'm not perfect about it. During basketball season, I know I'll be tweeting on Saturdays. It is what it is.
25. Educate myself about local candidates and VOTE.
26. In the midst of transitions and decisions, savor the people and moments that ground me.
Any other October/autumn birthdays out there? Any particular hopes or dreams for the next year?
I have a friend who swears that Pinterest was the worst thing that happened to her planning a wedding. She just finally swore off of it!
Yes! I don't have wedding planning experience but it's all starting to look the same out there. Go with your gut and remember the day is about the two of you not being in a wedding magazine. I love this post! I need to get back into blogging.

San Diego Mesa College Professor Carl Luna prepares an online lesson.
8 highlights for the 2020-21 academic year
August 4, 2020	|	San Diego Community College District
The 2020-21 academic year gets underway at the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) on August 17, marking a period of transformation like no other in recent memory, including Chancellor Constance M. Carroll's last year, a new president at San Diego Miramar College, and another record-breaking freshman class of San Diego Promise students.
Here are 8 things to look for this fall:
Chancellor Constance M. Carroll
1) The SDCCD this fall will hold nearly every class online in a continuing effort to protect the health and safety of students, faculty, and classified professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Exceptions, however, are being made for labs, first-responder training, and others that are next to impossible to conduct via distance learning.
2) Chancellor Carroll begins her final academic year, having announced she will be retiring in June 2021. This is Dr. Carroll's 17th year as Chancellor and her 28th year with the district. "The People's Chancellor" will kick off the year with a special virtual convocation at 8:30 a.m. on August 13. All are invited to join us on the district's YouTube Live page.
3) A record number of freshmen — approximately 2,300 in all — are enrolling in the groundbreaking San Diego Promise program that provides two full years of tuition-free education, book grants, and hands-on support to students who might not otherwise be able to pursue a college degree. They are joining the nearly 1,900 students starting their second year in the Promise program.
San Diego Miramar College President P. Wesley Lundburg
4) San Diego Miramar College has a new President in P. Wesley Lundburg, who for the past five years has been serving as Executive Dean and CEO at the Ammerman Campus that is part of Suffolk Community College on Long Island. President Lundburg, whose first day was July 1, said he was attracted to Miramar College because of its variety of academic programs, which blend career education with transfer preparation: "A community college should be all things to all people," said President Lundburg. See the video.
5) Speaking of new hires … With the pending retirement of Chancellor Carroll in June 2021, the SDCCD Board of Trustees and a district screening committee are beginning the search process. Applications will be accepted starting in late August. Following candidate interviews, open forums, and site visits, a final selection is expected to be made by the Board of Trustees in March 2021. The new chancellor should begin in July 2021.
6) San Diego Continuing Education is launching a new, fully online educational program to provide adult learners with fast, free, and flexible job training that takes just five to 10 months to complete. The ICOM Academy (Interactive Competency-based Online Microcredentialing Academy) debuts with 11 career education options in the areas of Small Business Entrepreneurship, Information Technology, and Skilled Trades.
The San Diego Mesa College Fine Arts Building
7) San Diego City College unveils several new initiatives, including a Black Excellence resource page on its website, several eight-week courses in its Energy and Geo-Environmental Engineering degree and certificate programs, and the return of an Acting for Film and Television course that is being augmented by visits from professionals in the television and motion picture industry.
8) The San Diego Mesa College Fine Arts & Dramatic Arts building renovation, a $14.8-million project that houses the college's art gallery and more, has been nominated for an Orchid Award for serving "as a gateway to the campus and landmark to create a strong connection for the Mesa College Art Department to the greater San Diego art community." The San Diego Architectural Foundation is scheduled to announce its winners this fall.

Originalism's Promise
A Natural Law Account of the American Constitution
Author: Lee J. Strang, University of Toledo, Ohio
Publication planned for: August 2019
availability: Not yet published - available from July 2019
Pre-order Add to wishlist
The foundation of the American legal system and democratic culture is its longstanding written Constitution. However, a contentious debate now exists between originalists, who employ the Constitution's original meaning, and Nonoriginalists, who argue for a living constitution interpretation. The first natural law justification for an originalist interpretation of the American Constitution, Originalism's Promise presents an innovative foundation for originalism and a novel description of its character. The book provides a deep, rich, and practical explanation of originalism, including the most-detailed originalist theory of precedent in the literature. Of interest to judges, scholars, and lawyers, it will help all Americans better understand their own Constitution and shows why their reverence for it, its Framers, and its legal system, is supported by sound reasons. Originalism's Promise is a powerful contribution to the most important theory in constitutional interpretation.
Offers a deep, rich, and practical description and explanation of an originalist theory of interpretation
Provides a natural law justification for an originalist interpretation of US Constitution
Argues that originalism fits current American constitutional practice
'Lee J. Strang has provided us with a fresh new explanation and defense of an approach to constitutional interpretation that emphasizes the need for fidelity to original meaning. Unusually, he has built a bridge between originalist theory and modern natural law theory that engages with important ideas in the philosophy of law as well as constitutional theory. A formidable piece of scholarship that deserves close scrutiny.' Keith E. Whittington, Princeton University, New Jersey
'Originalism's Promise provides a sophisticated and important defense of constitutional originalism. Drawing on history, constitutional theory, and the natural law tradition, Professor Strang makes a compelling case that fidelity to the original meaning of the constitutional text is required by both law and morality. His law-as-coordination account of originalism offers a new and distinctive view of the role of the Constitution. In a field where it is difficult to say something that is novel and convincing, Originalism's Promise does both, illuminating old debates and posing new questions. Highly recommended.' Lawrence B. Solum, Carmack-Waterhouse Professor of Law, Georgetown University, Washington DC
Part I. A Description of Originalism:
1. A brief history of originalism in American constitutional interpretation
2. The constitutional communication model of originalism
Part II. Originalism is the Best Explanation of our Existing Constitutional Practice and the Most Normatively Attractive Theory of Constitutional Interpretation:
3. Originalism is the best explanation for our existing constitutional practice
4. Originalism best advances Americans' human flourishing: the law-as-coordination account of originalism

2213 E Tudor Rd Ste 53 | Anchorage, Alaska 99507
Vera Lynn, one of the most iconic and inspiring artists of the 20th century died in June 2020 at the age of 103, just a month after the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of WWII in Europe, a conflict in which her songs, like "We'll Meet Again" and "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs Of Dover" were emblematic of the sentiments of the time, and her role in the war remained a key aspect of her musical and historical legacy. However, she was also a fine and versatile performer and interpreter of the popular songs of her era, who had a significant number of hits in the pop chart on both sides of the Atlantic, including the US No. 1 "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" and the UK No. 1 "My Son, My Son". This great-value 144-track 6-CD set comprises selected A and B sides from her UK and US releases on the Crown, Decca, London, MGM and HMV labels during the first quarter-century of her career, with a significant proportion of those releases represented by at least one of the sides. It includes her versions of some of the big US hits of those years, and showcases her uniquely distinctive voice across many musical environments, recording with a range of orchestras, including that of Mantovani, or with small groups and military choruses. It's a substantial memento of an artist whose significance transcends smply the world of popular music, but who deserves to be remembered also as a performer who was up there with the very best of her contemporaries.

First Nation Terrance Nelson: Refusing to be the 'house nigger'
Refusing to be the 'house nigger'
Terrance Nelson
By Terrance Nelson
First Nation Roseau River Ojibway
Evander Kane has every right to challenge racism in the NHL and in Winnipeg. Despite the attack by Don Cherry upon Evander Kane for using the "race card", there is no doubt that racism in the NHL is real. Not long ago Boxing, Baseball, Football, and Basketball were white only because blacks were excluded. The last bastion of white dominance in a sport is hockey, why wouldn't there be racist reaction to blacks in a "white" sport. Paul Friesen who initially wrote in the Winnipeg Sun about the complaint Evander Kane made should go see the movie Django Unchained. My 20 year son loved the movie so much, he went with me to see it a second time. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the word "nigger" is used so often in the three hour movie, the shock wears off. The movie is cartoon-ish, something like "Kill Bill" but although I didn't initially like it, I got into it as I watched the reaction of the white folk in the theatre. Don Cherry would squirm in his seat if he watched the movie.
Dicaprio as the villain was a poor choice, he doesn't make the grade as a villain. The real Oscar role belongs to Samuel L. Jackson. Director Quentin Tarantino read what Malcolm X wrote of the difference between the field nigger and the house nigger. Jackson delivers an Oscar winning performance as the "house nigger". What Don Cherry wants for the NHL is gratitude from the black man that you have been allowed into a white sport. Cherry wants Evander Kane to "suck it up" and be another Jackie Robinson, a class act taking all the taunts and racial slurs without responding to the racism. Robinson, the first black man in major league baseball did what he had to do in his era, he was a great man. Howard Cosell on television at an NFL game calling a black man a "little monkey" and others calling the first black men in the NFL, "jungle bunnies" is what racism was. The NHL is no different. The white guys just don't want Evander Kane telling it like it is. Evander Kane deserves to say what needs to be said, the days of the house nigger are over, no more grovelling in front of the master, no more sucking it up just because someone paid for the ticket to see the game.
Thank you Evander Kane for not being quiet about racism. Remember Evander that even though 70% of the white people who voted in the United States election voted against Obama, there is still a black man in the White House. Obama is not a house nigger and you don't have to be either. Some people want you to be quiet, but you belong to a different era, you have every right to tell like it is. The indigenous people who live in Winnipeg have felt the racism and know that you are speaking the truth.
Don Cherry says Evander Kanes race claim is ridiculous

Zapatistas Marcos Them and US VII 'The Smallest of Them All'
Them and Us VII: The Smallest of Them All
THEM AND US.
VII.- The Smallest of them All.
Espanol: Enlace Zapatista
Translation Italian
Translation French
February 2013.
For several years now, while in the politics of above they fought over the booty of a shattered nation, while the media was either silent or lied about what was happening, while the original peoples of this land went out of fashion and returned to a corner of oblivion, their lands looted, their inhabitants exploited, repressed, displaced, disrespected…
The indigenous Zapatista peoples,
Surrounded by the federal army, pursued by state and municipal police, attacked by paramilitary groups formed and equipped by governments from across the political spectrum in Mexico (PRI, PAN, PRD, PT, PVEM, MC and the other names taken by the parasitical Mexican political class), hounded by agents of the different national and foreign spy agencies, seeing their bases of support, men and women, beaten, displaced, imprisoned…
The indigenous Zapatista peoples
without show,
without any imperative other than duty,
without instruction manuals,
without any leaders but ourselves
without any referent other than the dream of our dead,
with only our history and memory as weapons,
looking near and far into calendars and geographies,
with our guide: Serve, not Serve yourself/ Represent, not Supplant/ Construct, not Destroy/ Obey, not Command/ Propose, not Impose/ Convince, not Defeat/ Go Below, not Climb Above.
The Zapatista peoples, the indigenous Zapatistas, the indigenous Zapatista bases of support of the eezeelen, with a new way of doing politics,
We will make
OUR FREEDOM!
Note of clarification:
The texts that will appear in this seventh and final part of "Them and Us" are fragments taken from the "First Grade Notebook from the Course: Freedom according to the Zapatistas. Autonomous Government I," and "First Grade Notebook from the Course in: Freedom according to the Zapatistas. Autonomous Government II." The Spanish version is ONLY for compas who are part of the Sixth (We hope there will be versions in the original languages as determined by the National Indigenous Congress, as well as in English, Italian, French, Portuguese, Greek, German, Euskera, Catalonian, Arabic, Hebrew, Galician, Kurdish, Aragonese, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Japanese, and other languages, according to the support of compas of the Sixth around the world who know about the task of translating). These notebooks form part of the support material for the course that the Zapatista bases of support will give to the compas of the Sixth in Mexico and from around the world.
All of the texts are authored by the Zapatista bases of support, men and women, and they include not only the process of the struggle for freedom, but also their critical and self-critical reflections about our path. That is, they demonstrate how we Zapatistas see freedom and how we struggle to achieve it, exercise it, and defend it.
As our compañero Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés has already explained, our compas from the Zapatista bases of support are going to share the little we have learned about the struggle for freedom, and the compas of the Sixth can see what is useful or not for their own struggles.
This class in the little Zapatista school, as you now know, is called "Freedom according to the Zapatistas," and it will be given directly by compañeros and compañeras who are bases of support of the eezeelen, who have carried out the various tasks of government, vigilance, and other diverse responsibilities in the construction of Zapatista autonomy.
In order to be admitted to the little school, in addition to being invited, the compas of the Sixth and special invitees will need to take a few preparatory, previous, or propaedeutic courses (or however you say what comes
before kindergarten), before passing into "first grade." These courses will be given by compas from the support teams of the EZLN's Sixth Commission and have as their only objective to give you the basic elements of neo-Zapatista history and our struggle for democracy, liberty, and justice.
In geographies where there aren't compas from the support teams, we will get you the syllabus so that all invitees can prepare.
The dates and times, that is, the calendars and geographies in which the courses will be given by the Zapatista bases of support, will be announced in the appropriate moment, always carefully taking into account the situation of each individual, group, or collective invitee.
All of the invitees to the course will receive it, no matter if they can come to Zapatista territory or not. We are studying the possible forms or ways to reach your hearts, whatever your calendar and geography may be. So don't worry.
Okay then. Cheers, now just prepare your heart, and, of course, your pencils and notebooks.
From the mountains of the Mexican Southeast.
SupMarcos.
Mexico, February of 2013.
P.S. THAT GIVES LESSONS IN MANNERS. This seventh and final part of the series "Them and Us" consists of various parts and is ONLY for the compas of the Sixth. Along with part V (which, as its numeration indicates, is called "The Sixth") and the last of part VI. The Gaze 6: We are He," form part of the private correspondence that the EZLN, through its spokespeople, directs to the compas of the Sixth. In each of these parts, as in the present writing, we clearly signal to whom the texts are addressed.
For those who are not compas and try to mock, enter into polemics, argue, or respond to these texts, we remind you that reading or commenting on the correspondence of others is what is done by gossipers and/or police. So you should keep track of what category you're in. In addition, your comments only reflect a vulgar racism (you're so critical of TV and yet you merely repeat its clichés), and reiterate your lack of imagination (which is a consequence of lack of intelligence… and laziness about reading). Although, of course, you will have to broaden your silly little chant of "marcos no, ezln yes" to "marcos and moisés no, ezln yes," and then later, "CCRI-CG no, ezln yes." Later on, if you hear the direct word of the Zapatista bases of support (which I doubt will happen), you will have to say "ezln no, ezln neither"), but it will already be too late.
Oh don't be sad. When we put up music videos by Ricardo Arjona, Luis Miguel, Yustin Bibier or Ricky Martin, you can feel interpellated. Meanwhile, stay seated, keep looking at the calendar from above (those 3 or 6 years pass quickly), move a little to the right (as you are accustomed to doing), and step aside a little, we don't want to splash [implicate] you…
¡Órales razaaaaaa! ¡Y venga a darle al baile! ¡Ajúa!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Watch and listen to the videos that accompany this text:
"La Estrella del Desello" with Eulalio González El Piporro. The track appears also as a shorter version, in the film "La Nave de los Monstruos" (1959, by Rogelio A. González). It doesn't have anything to do with the eezeelen, I put it here out of stubbornness, and to greet the compas of the north: don't give up, even though you're far away, we're going to include you in our gaze. ¡Ajúa!
"La Despedida" with Manu Chao and Radio Bemba, in an indigenous Zapatista community
"Brigadistak" with Fermín Muguruza. In the struggle against Power, there are no borders! ¡Marichiweu! (We will win a thousand times, in Mapuche)

Mohawk Nation News 'Dirty Tricks'
MNN: DIRTY TRICKS
MNN. Feb. 22, 2013. The Infinite Elder "Red-X" found the Secret Instruction Manual on "Stealing Indigenous Resources". Here are some of the colonial strategies.
A Red-X disguise.
Colonial Dirty Trick #1: Call it "democracy", 51%, and you will keep control. Organize fancy cocktail parties with open bars, colonial big-wigs like the GG and other heavies, and pretty girls to entertain whoever they need to. Give the band and tribal councils tiaras to try on and a taste of "life in the fast lane". Get them too drunk to notice they've sold out their people.
CDT #2: Outnumber the Indigenous 3 to 1. Keep them away from their home. Red-X said, "Hold them meetings at home in your tipi, longhouse or condemned bungalow with the cracked window panes and asbestos contaminated floors and walls".
CDT #3: Put out colonial law as if it's Indigenous.
CDT #4: Collect, horde and keep information. Put out lies, false history and myth making. Create new "Indians" that will go along with the land and resource giveaways that don't belong to them [CAP].
CDT #5: Put some heavies at the table, with big titles, long resumes to confuse everybody. Give scripts to the band council to read that they don't understand.
CDT #6: Use hierarchical criteria with the colonists setting up at the front.
CDT #7: Offer a concession to bowl over the Injuns. If they fuss, throw the chair back and leave the table. Take the bribe money with you.
Don't have to listen to this.
CDT #8: Say, "We ain't playing with you bad Injuns anymore". Walk out to keep control.
CDT #9: Use "good cop" "bad cop" strategy to throw those Injuns off balance. [They're all bad.] Threaten them with illegal injunctions, jail time and law suits. Then sidetrack them with "Cointelpro" charm. Move the meeting place and don't tell them where.
CDT #10: Break them into 2 groups and meet them separately. When they complain, leave.
CDT #11: Targets are needed. Demand one speaker, not different ones every day. Otherwise, pick up the toys and leave.
We're going.
CD #12: Stuff colonial side with "know-it-alls" to intimidate them. They'll keep saying this is their land, they are sovereign and call the colonists trespassers. Walk out!
Red-X advises, "Try not to barf!"
How to counter Dirty Tricks: report daily to community, select new negotiators each day; don't allow private 'tete-a-tetes' for making secret deals; international law requires a neutral 3rd party mediator approved by both parties.
Don't fall for "interim measure", "agreement-in-principle", "interim land withdrawal", which don't meet international law standards and don't make sense.
Injuns, you're not supposed to leave!
As Red-X said, "They can never be Ongwehonwe! We must use our natural world strategies against these beasts".
Red-X wonders who wrote this manual. It reminds him of the Monotones song:Book of Love "Tell me, tell me, tell me, oh, who wrote the book of love? I've got to know the answer. Was it someone from above?"

Mohawk Nation News 'Another Invasion of Canada Coming'
ANOTHER US INVASION OF CANADA COMING
MNN. Feb. 19, 2013. In June 2006, US Border Patrol and ATF [Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms] were caught monitoring the Six Nations standoff at Caledonia. There was no outcry. Our men were charged with interfering with these foreign agents. Was this part of the groundwork for the future US invasion of Canada?
Is Prime Minister Harper the 'Trojan Horse" for the US? When Hitler went into Austria during WWII, he had sent in secret agents to take over all levers of power, corporations, government, police and military. Then the Austrians welcomed him with open arms, parades and waved German flags. Will the US take over Ottawa, amidst waving Stars and Stripes, without firing a shot?
Remember who helped you last time!
US and Canada know that they cannot exercise true sovereignty on Great Turtle Island without our consent, or our non-existence. Bankers and multinational corporations in England want control of our land, resources and funds. They will fail to get our cooperation, will try to eliminate us legislatively, or they will declare martial law on us.
Disinformation is a strategy to create a confrontation. They need something sensational and traumatic to compare it with conflicts showing bombs, riots, blockades and mutilated bodies, especially of children. [Sandy Hook, Aurora, Syria]. Mainstream media's main role is to promote fear and anger subliminally to the population. In the past we never saw dead bodies on media. Now the norm is front page news picturing dead babies and crying women. We are being conditioned to see this as normal.
They are still here.
To break down our resistance, our women and children are targeted. Indian Affairs takes our children from northern communities, places them in cities like Thunder Bay to be "educated', and then organized gangs kill them. Police even admit their racist behavior. CBC on Thunder Bay racism
Children's Aid Society, law enforcement and military are closing in on our communities. The military is hiding on the outskirts of some of them ready to invade at a moment's notice. The social services are set to declare an emergency and grab our children.
A totalitarian regime is being put into place. We are the initial targets to frighten the public so no one will dare to resist. To commit martial law welfare recipients are the most vulnerable.
Our corporate band and tribal councils slyly help their masters make our society dependant, frightened and fearful, with no place to turn. These totalitarian schemes have been tried before. They fail. Prime Minister Harper does not object to this violation of Indigenous rights.
US and Canada, you will deal with us as a free people, the rightful guardians of unsurrendered Great Turtle Island. We created the perfect reality, which was interrupted 500 years ago.
Harper and Obama, we see through your masks. As Dylan said in "Masters of War": "Come, you masters of war, you that build the big guns, you that build the death planes, you that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks. I just want you to know I can see through your masks." Masters of war

Jason Momoa and the rest of the cast debuted the trailer at SDCC.
After witnessing his debut in last year's Justice League, Aquaman fans have eagerly awaited a real look at the aquatic king's full feature-length debut. During a panel in San Diego Comic-Con's massive Hall H Saturday morning, Warner Bros. finally delivered, debuting a brand-new trailer for those lucky enough to be in attendance.
The long-awaited trailer opens on a stormy sea, with Jason Momoa's voiceover describing his mother (an Atlantean) and father (a lighthouse keeper) meeting. A young Arthur Curry is bullied in an aquarium, and reveals that he can communicate with fish. The adult Aquaman then drops into a submarine and starts kicking butts.
Amber Heard's character Mera describes the story--Aquaman has to take his place as king of Atlantis to stop an impending war. The trailer gives extensive looks at Atlantis and the various characters. "You think you're unworthy to lead because you're of two different worlds," Mera tells Aquaman. "That is exactly why you are worthy."
The trailer is now available online, so check it out below. However, that wasn't the only Aquaman footage Warner Bros. debuted at Comic-Con. They also showed some exclusive clips only for Hall H attendees.
The exclusive footage featured Mera and Aquaman walking through the desert searching for Atlantean ruins that were once underwater. Mera extracts water from Aquaman's brow to activate a relic in a scene that's part Indiana Jones, part Fifth Element. "You could have just peed on it," Aquaman says.
A hologram of a past Atlantean king appears. "In this trident resides the power of Atlantis," it says. "If you seek my power, journey beyond the edge of the world to the hidden sea. In the wrong hands, it would bring destruction. In the hands of the true heir, it would unite all our kingdoms, above and below."
The clip also showed Atlanteans on opposing sides riding giant seahorses, sharks, and other creatures in battle. Finally, it showed Black Manta emerging from the sea to fight Arthur and Mera on land across chase and battle scenes involving laser fire and huge explosions. Patrick Wilson and Nicole Kidman's characters made appearances as well, and we caught a glimpse of Willem Dafoe.
Finally, the last shot showed Aquaman in a semblance of his classic costume, orange and green scales included. Naturally, fans reacted with glee and excitement.
The Aquaman portion of the panel opened with the massive screens spanning Hall H turning to roaring water, the sound filling the huge room. Aquaman himself--actor Jason Momoa--emerged onto the stage to thunderous applause. Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and director James Wan joined him onstage soon after.
"I want our film to be a little bit different, a little unique" among the myriad superhero movies out now, Wan said. He said it plays more like a sci-fi or fantasy film than a traditional superhero movie. Momoa called it "a beautiful origin story."
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who plays Black Manta, said he was worried about having to swim while shooting the movie. "I can't swim," he described telling his agent. He confessed that he bought a pair of goggles and a kickboard, and taught himself to swim while filming. "I was fine by the end, and I didn't ever have to swim [while filming]," he said.
Nicole Kidman described the moment we'll meet her character in Aquaman. "I got to lie on a rock," she said. "My opening shot in the film is being washed up on this rock, and I got to lie there with massive waves crashing over me, and i'm thinking, 'The bigger the better, come on James, give it to me! That's why I'm doing this movie.'"


INDIA – It is in 2006 where Lea travels to India and discovers music mantras chanting with true chanting masters. This is where Lea's transformation happens and it is at that moment when she decides to pursue world-ambient "Yoga Chanting" music to a more profound level. Moreover, upon her return, Lea decides to become a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor and teaches mantra meditation to deepen her yoga practice and musical expression.
In 2007, Lea co-produces and releases ZEN VOYAGE -an ambient music CD showcasing her soothing and velvety voice featuring 10 sacred mantras based on Sanskrit texts. Well received in the new age world, Anne Williams from the New Retailer Magazine quotes: "wonderful CD for anyone who enjoys chant but is looking for a new sound. Very nicely arranged and performed". Her next Kirtan Mantra CD, which she also co-produced in 2010,"Peace Chants" is a collection of sanskrit, english and gurmuk mantras blended with world beats, melodic guitars,traditional persian and turkish instruments. Lea's voice is captivating and pure, leading the listener to a peaceful and meditative state of bliss.

With New Year's Eve on Friday this year it's a bit of a sleepy weekend, but there's a few things going on in the opening days of 2022 after the balls drop, the champagne is sipped and the kisses are made.
And, we haven't had this caveat in a while, but with COVID-19 cases spiking both nationally and locally, it wouldn't be the worst weekend to choose an outdoor activity if possible. Definitely mask up if indoors, and get vaccinated/boosted if you haven't yet.
Saturday: Olivia Gillaspie
Up-and-coming Wilmington singer Gillaspie, who's played a few songwriter showcases around town, will perform during the New Year's Day brunch at The Joyce in Leland. The Irish pub-style restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating.
Details: Noon-2 p.m. Jan. 1 at The Joyce, 174 Turlington Ave., Leland.
Saturday: Wilmington Goth Night
We're all steeling ourselves for another year of darkness, but the cool thing about being Goth is that 2022 is going to get dark no matter what. On Saturday night, three acts will play the first show of the year at Wilmington entertainment parlor Barzarre. DJ Straftanz will set the mood before "cemetery and Western" singer Mark Sinnis takes the stage at 8, followed by Asheville darkwave act Cold Choir at 11.

Details: 8 p.m.-midnight at the Seawitch, 227 Carolina Beach Ave. N., Carolina Beach. Free.
Sunday: Cameron Art Museum
The museum is closed on New Year's Day, but what's predicted to be a rainy Sunday might be the perfect time to check out The CAM's latest exhibits, which are actually pretty great. "Illumination," featuring original lanterns and light sculptures by both local and national artists, is only up through Jan. 9. While you're there, check out Stephen Hayes' searing "Voices of Future's Past" (through March 20), with its studied and sobering sculptures and installations shedding light on what it means to be Black in America.

Reimbursement of some of the costs associated with the employee's new home purchase by the employer.
The limited focus placed on the destination side of a relocation transaction has resulted from the cost on the departure side far outweighing that of the destination, coupled with the lack of tax-avoidance opportunities associated with destination programs. Fidelity Residential Solutions, Inc. (FRS) has taken a creative, proprietary approach at coordinating destination services to the employee that is directed towards providing both a convenience to the transferring employee and reducing cost for the third-party relocation firm and/or the corporate client through our OneFee program.
Outside of the fixed, state-by-state pricing afforded by our OneFee program, FRS can provide a variety of structured destination services to the transferred employee. Our programs can be customized to fit your specific needs and those of your customer and can either become a "bundled" part of the departure process or act as a stand-alone service offering of destination title and closing services. Perhaps most importantly, our program significantly enhances our client's referral capture rate -- leading to increased profitability.

MAGNUM SALES
We all gorged on ice cream this summer, and Unilever couldn't be happier about it
Reuters/Phil Noble
Sweet relief.
By Jason Karaian
Global finance and economics editor
October 15, 2015 This article is more than 2 years old.
As summer turns to autumn, the leaves are turning in much of the world, and there is a chill in the air. But all that executives at Unilever are keen to talk about is ice cream.
The Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant reported perky third-quarter results today (Oct. 15), thanks largely to bumper ice cream sales. The group comfortably beat market expectations for revenue growth in its latest quarter, recording the biggest rise in underlying sales in years.
Unilever's "refreshment" unit, which includes the Magnum and Ben & Jerry's ice cream brands, boosted sales by more than 8% in the third quarter. The soaps, shampoos, teas, detergents, and condiments that comprise the rest of the company's sprawling product portfolio couldn't match that growth.
Unilever's shares are up by around 4% in London trading so far today. For a company of its size, the move is worth more than $5 billion in market value.
Has the world suddenly developed a sweet tooth? Not exactly. This summer in Europe was the hottest on record, particularly in the south, making for a "strong ice cream season," in the company's words. Meanwhile, in the US, a spate of recalls for listeria contamination at some of Unilever's competitors in the ice cream freezer boosted its sales there.
And encouragingly for Unilever's profit margins, the fastest growing ice cream brands were in "super premium" ranges, it said, where some brands experimented with new products. Turns out that people like it when you inject tubs of Ben & Jerry's with cores of solid cookies or fudge. The company has also recently acquired artisanal gelato makers such as GROM in Italy and Talenti in the US, to capitalize on its customers' growing taste for posh ice cream options.
But as the weather turns and many of Unilever's customers don hats, gloves, and scarves, the company can't rely as much on chilled treats to pace its growth. A sputtering global economy with persistently low inflation in advanced countries is making it tough for firms like Unilever to raise prices in its largest markets. At the same time, rapidly weakening currencies in emerging markets are eroding the gains from sales in these fast-growing countries.
Indeed, on a conference call with analysts, CFO Graeme Pitkethly took a distinctly cautious tone. "It's fair to say that, in aggregate, we have not yet seen any improvement in our markets," he said. "In fact, in a number of countries the economic environment is getting worse, with the situation on the ground dominated by the effects of currency depreciation."

Europe must do more to protect its rivers and lakes: scientists
By Jonas Ekblom
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - More than 5,500 scientists have signed an open letter saying that Europe is facing a severe threat to its freshwater biodiversity and must do more to protect its rivers and lakes.
The letter follows the release of a report by the EU's own environment agency, EEA, which said that nearly two thirds of freshwater bodies across the continent are unhealthy.
The scientists call on the European Union to intensify its efforts to ensure freshwater diversity.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, more than 1 million species worldwide are at risk of extinction due to humans' pursuit of economic growth. Freshwater species are especially at risk. Worldwide populations have crashed 83% in the past decades.
Water is also at risk of becoming an increasingly scarce resource as climate change exacerbates pressures on the water sources of half a billion Europeans who depend on it.
The EEA has said nearly half of all habitants in the countries around the Mediterranean experienced some form of drought in the past summers.
The EU policy protecting the bloc's waterways, the Water Framework Directive, was introduced in 2000. Since its inception, implementation has been lackluster.
The new head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has committed to fighting biodiversity loss as part of her European Green Deal, an ambitious plan which would make Europe the world's first climate neutral continent by 2050.
The scientists wrote: "There cannot be an effective European Green Deal without healthy water ecosystems at the heart of it."

A Northwestern University history professor argues that the United States represents an empire invisible to most of its inhabitants, one that consists of vast overseas possessions and a troubling history of interventionism abroad.
Rave Jennifer Szalai,
To call this standout book a corrective would make it sound earnest and dutiful, when in fact it is wry, readable and often astonishing. Immerwahr knows that the material he presents is serious, laden with exploitation and violence, but he also knows how to tell a story, highlighting the often absurd space that opened up between expansionist ambitions and ingenuous self-regard ... Seen through Immerwahr's lens, even the most familiar historical events can take on a startling cast ... It's a testament to Immerwahr's considerable storytelling skills that I found myself riveted by his sections on Hoover's quest for standardized screw threads, wondering what might happen next. But beyond its collection of anecdotes and arcana, this humane book offers something bigger and more profound. How to Hide an Empire nimbly combines breadth and sweep with fine-grained attention to detail. The result is a provocative and absorbing history of the United States — 'not as it appears in its fantasies, but as it actually is.'
Rave Patrick Iber,
The book is written in 22 brisk chapters, full of lively characters, dollops of humor, and surprising facts ... It entertains and means to do so. But its purpose is quite serious: to shift the way that people think about American history ... Immerwahr convincingly argues that the United States looks less like an empire than its European counterparts did not because U.S. policy maintains any inherent commitment to anti-imperialism, but because its empire is disguised first as continuous territory and later by the development of substitutes for formal territorial control ... It is a powerful and illuminating economic argument ... the book succeeds in its core goal: to recast American history as a history of the 'Greater United States' ... Immerwahr's book deserves a wide audience, and it should find one. In making the contours of past power more visible, How to Hide an Empire may help make it possible to imagine future alternatives.
Positive Lidija Haas,
Consistently both startling and absorbing ... Immerwahr vividly retells the early formation of the country, the consolidation of its overseas territory, and the postwar perfection of its 'pointillist' global empire, which extends influence through a vast constellation of tiny footprints—its approximately eight hundred military bases across scores of nations, dwarfing the twenty or so held by France, Russia, and my pretty-in-pink motherland combined. Much of this book's power is in the details.

Q: I have two SQL queries. I need to join them into a single SQL query I have two sql queries which I need to combine into a single one. When I'm trying to combine these 2 queries into a single one, I'm not getting the right result. Someone please help in combining these 2 queries into a single query.
First SQL Query:
SELECT distinct order_no,status,status_cd,
case when order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0 then 'inventory-unavailable' END
from t1 a, t2 b
where
a.inventory_stockout='TRUE'
AND a.flag_column='TRUE'
and status in '(fulfilled','pending')
GROUP BY order_no,status,status_cd;

Second SQL Query:
SELECT distinct order_no,status,status_cd,
case when order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0 then 'inventory-unavailable' END
from t1 a, t2 b
where
a.inventory_stockout='TRUE'
AND a.flag_column='TRUE'
and a.subscription_enabled='TRUE'
GROUP BY order_no,status,status_cd;

A: If both of them - separately - return result you want (I doubt it; you're using cross-join between t1 and t2), then a simple option is to union them (remove distinct, remove group by (doesn't make sense anyway as you aren't aggregating anything, but distinct does the job) as union replaces both of them in this case):
SELECT order_no,
       status,
       status_cd,
       CASE
          WHEN order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0 THEN 'inventory-unavailable'
       END
  FROM t1 a, t2 b
 WHERE     a.inventory_stockout = 'TRUE'
       AND a.flag_column = 'TRUE'
       AND status IN ('fulfilled', 'pending')
UNION
SELECT order_no,
       status,
       status_cd,
       CASE
          WHEN order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0 THEN 'inventory-unavailable'
       END
  FROM t1 a, t2 b
 WHERE     a.inventory_stockout = 'TRUE'
       AND a.flag_column = 'TRUE'
       AND a.subscription_enabled = 'TRUE';

A: One question:  I see t1 and t2 and synonyms but don't see the join condition or the key logic that joins t1 and t2 together.  Do you know what the PK/FK relationship is between those tables?
Suggestion: You're hitting the same table in both with most of the same conditions and same case logic.  So, if you combined into a single query, you'd make one pass through the tables which would probably be faster than a UNION.  If you add some () to the AND logic, would enable you to do this.  Can you try this style and see if it works?
-- Combined Code Mockup
SELECT distinct order_no,status,status_cd,
  CASE when order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0 then 'inventory-unavailable' END
  FROM t1 a, t2 b
 WHERE t1.PK = t2.FK (Add...)
   AND a.inventory_stockout='TRUE'
   AND a.flag_column='TRUE'
   AND (status in '(fulfilled','pending' OR (AND a.flag_column='TRUE'
        AND a.subscription_enabled='TRUE'))
GROUP BY order_no,status,status_cd;

A: even if you know which table order_qty came from given you have aliased your two tables a & b it best to always use the alias, to same what you mean.
also having things that look like booleans inventory_stockout & flag_column is bad performance if they truely are string encoded booleans.
Also DISTINCT is a GROUP BY, but given you have DISTINCT you don't need declare the GROUP BY stage, as all the variables are considered. Also as a Snowflake note,  this_should_have_a_name is not named in the GROUP BY but it also does not need to be as it is a derivative value from the set of things in the GROUP BY.
I assume you are want the set of the results joined, together, you can UNION them like littlefoot has noted, but this will run a distinct across the two, which is I assume what you would want. Where-as if you know there are zero duplicates in the two result sets, then UNION ALL tells the DB to just concatenate the results together, which is much faster.
The next thing you can do is a CTE and sub select the common parts into one block, and then UNION the sub-results like:
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT DISTINCT
        order_no,
        status,
        status_cd,
        IFF( order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0, 'inventory-unavailable', NULL) AS this_should_have_a_name,
        a.subscription_enabled
    FROM t1 AS a, t2 AS b
    WHERE a.inventory_stockout = 'TRUE'
        AND a.flag_column = 'TRUE'
)
SELECT order_no, status, status_cd, this_should_have_a_name
FROM cte
WHERE status in '(fulfilled','pending')

UNION

SELECT order_no, status, status_cd, this_should_have_a_name
FROM cte
WHERE subscription_enabled='TRUE'
;

now we see it written like that, we can just put a OR in there with the CTE
WITH cte AS (
    SELECT DISTINCT
        order_no,
        status,
        status_cd,
        IFF( order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0, 'inventory-unavailable', NULL) AS this_should_have_a_name,
        a.subscription_enabled
    FROM t1 AS a, t2 AS b
    WHERE a.inventory_stockout = 'TRUE'
        AND a.flag_column = 'TRUE'
)
SELECT order_no, status, status_cd, this_should_have_a_name
FROM cte
WHERE ( status in '(fulfilled','pending')
    OR  subscription_enabled='TRUE' )
;

or without the CTE
SELECT DISTINCT
        order_no,
        status,
        status_cd,
        IFF( order_qty - fulfilled_qty > 0, 'inventory-unavailable', NULL) AS this_should_have_a_name
    FROM t1 AS a, t2 AS b
    WHERE a.inventory_stockout = 'TRUE'
        AND a.flag_column = 'TRUE'
        AND ( status in '(fulfilled','pending')
            OR a.subscription_enabled='TRUE' )
;

OR's can be slower, and now the logic is merged you the logic needed for the UNION ALL can be seen as
SELECT order_no, status, status_cd, this_should_have_a_name
FROM cte
WHERE status in '(fulfilled','pending')
    AND subscription_enabled != 'TRUE'

UNION ALL

SELECT order_no, status, status_cd, this_should_have_a_name
FROM cte
WHERE subscription_enabled = 'TRUE'


The "acoustic" album, more often than not, is a risky move. Yet, on J Mascis' latest solo, "acoustic" album, Elastic Days, the immortal indie shredder regresses into a catastrophically vulnerable state of mind. If you're seeking the discordant noise of Dinosaur Jr.'s catalogue, this is in no way the album for you. Instead, Mascis retreats to his mellow, undisturbed ways of Several Shades of Why and Tied to a Star, never flamboyant or over the top. In fact, Mascis sounds completely disconnected from the guitar-shredding he boasts with Dinosaur Jr. Even when there is an electric guitar solo—which there are still plenty throughout Elastic Days—its tone is cleaner, blended fruitfully and embracing a much more subtle element; Mascis' guitar isn't the focal point of Elastic Days, but a mere attribute.
Elastic Days is gentle, soothing, and unprecedented, much like Neil Young's Hitchhiker, recorded in 1976 and released in 2017. Both albums share a similar temperament, earnest additions to already storied discographies. Neither album is the ideal entry point into either's repertoire, but for long time fans and enthusiasts, they are modest additions that will consistently deliver—and occasionally surprise. Take "Cut Stranger," a loose and eruptive turning point on Elastic Days, for example: Mascis' acoustic arrangements are tuned down low, and a jittery energy overtakes Mascis and his wistful vocal delivery.
