It is important to note that dogs are however prohibited at all times at the beach, at the pool and near children's games.
It goes without saying that to maintain this privilege in the future, it is important that dog owners be respectful of other campers and their reserved space, but also that they clean the small (and big) gifts behind their companion. Bags are available at the dog park for this purpose. Thank you for your usual collaboration and good 2019 camping season!

The Tektronix P7380A is an 8 GHz Z-Active Differential Probe. Tektronix' active probe architecture preserves high bandwidth while providing improved connectivity with low loading. The Z-Active architecture is a hybrid approach composed of a distributed attenuator topology feeding an active probe amplifier. With Z-Active architecture, the P7380A uses a passive probe tip element that is separate from the amplifier, extending the usable reach of the probe. The P7380A architecture maintains high DC input resistance and a higher AC impedance than previous probe architectures while providing significant length between the probe body and the probe attachment point to the DUT. This architecture provides the best of both worlds, high DC impedance along with the stable high frequency loading of Z0 probes.
If you are looking for a new or well-maintained used Tektronix - P7380A 8 GHz Z-active differential probe for rent, lease or sale, contact us or request a quote today.

Greg Hill to run for Congress
David Rupkalvis
Brazoria County Court at Law Judge Greg Hill announced Wednesday he would be giving up his seat to run for Congress in the 22nd Congressional District.
Hill, who has a long history as a Republican in the district, will be seeking to replace Congressman Pete Olson, who announced last month he would be retiring when his current term ends.
"After much prayer and encouragement from my family and friends in Brazoria, Fort Bend and southeast Harris counties, I am humbled to announce my candidacy for Congress," Hill said. "Now more than ever, Congress needs a new generation of leaders who reflect mainstream suburban values, can restore common sense to Washington and will fight to defeat the socialist agenda."
Hill has been a life-long Republican and served three terms on the Pearland City Council prior to running for county court at law judge.
He has also worked as a Border Patrol agent and Spanish teacher before earning his law degree. After becoming an attorney, he worked as an assistant district attorney in Galveston County before opening his own practice.
Hill said his life and work experience make him an excellent candidate for Congress.
"As a judge and former prosecutor, I am committed to upholding the Constitution and the rule of law," said Hill. "As a former Border Patrol agent, I will work to ensure Congress secures our border while streamlining legal immigration. As a husband and father of two, I will fight to protect our families from threats foreign and domestic. And as a proud member of this community — one of the most dynamic, diverse and fastest-growing in the country — I will work to expand the Republican party and ensure CD 22 remains a great place to work, raise a family and live the American Dream."
Greg Hill is married to his wife, Amy, and they have two children.
In addition to his work as a judge, her serves on several boards and commissions in the district.
Hill said it vital that Republicans choose the right candidate for the Congressional election.
"In 2020, our quality of life and economic vitality are on the ballot," Hill said. "The so-called 'Squad' led by socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has taken over the Democratic Party. I'm running for Congress to defeat their radical ideas, protect our pocketbooks and our families and preserve our quality of life."

Facts and FAQ's About Gun Violence
High School Essay Contest
Announcing the Winners of our 2021 National High School Essay Contest
Americans Against Gun Violence is pleased to announce the winners of our 2021 National High School Essay Contest. To enter the contest, which was open to all high school students in the United States and its territories, students were required to submit an essay of 500 words or fewer in response to the following prompt:
"Describe the effect on American youth of the confluence of our country's longstanding gun violence epidemic with the current Covid-19 pandemic and the threat of violent insurrection; and describe what role you believe the adoption of stringent gun control laws should play at this critical time in our nation's history."
We received essay submissions from students across the country. The winners were chosen via a rigorous process in which more than 20 Americans Against Gun Violence members participated, reading and rating essays blinded to any student identifying information. In the essay contest instructions, we announced that we would be awarding a total of at least $15,000 to twelve winners, with the option of providing additional awards, as we have done the past two years, if we received more than 12 outstanding essays. Again this year, our readers felt there were indeed more than 12 outstanding essays, and we are therefore awarding a total of $15,900 to 21 winners. The winning essays in this year's contest come from students attending high school in the states of California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas.
While we are pleased to announce the winners of this year's essay contest, we are deeply troubled by the students' descriptions of the devastating effect on American youth of the confluence of the ongoing epidemic of gun violence, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the threat of violent insurrection; and by the sense of betrayal that many students expressed concerning the fact that older generations have not taken the same kind of dramatic action to end the gun violence epidemic – an epidemic that is uniquely American and that disproportionately affects our children and our youth – as they have taken to address Covid-19 – a pandemic that is worldwide and that disproportionately affects older adults. We are also troubled by the fact that again this year, many students have not felt safe in having their names or the names of their high schools published in association with their essays. It is part of our mission at Americans Against Gun Violence to not only ensure that we address our country's longstanding gun violence epidemic with at least as much urgency and resolve as we have addressed the Covid-19 pandemic, but that we also change the toxic culture in our country that makes students fear for their safety if they speak openly and frankly about the need to take definitive action to protect our children and our youth from the threat of gun violence.
The winners of our 2021 Americans Against Gun Violence National High School Essay Contest are:

Weapons of Self-Destruction
…When COVID-19 lockdowns forced schools to close, kids were separated from their friends, creating feelings of isolation, anxiety, and frustration. As a result, during the same period that Americans bought guns in record numbers, 1 in 4 young adults reported suicidal ideation, overwhelming mental health crisis centers. Lonely and depressed children with access to firearms are a deadly combination, especially since guns are the most lethal way to commit suicide….As lockdowns abate, sensational firearm massacres have once again become front-page news, but the silent suffering of millions of youths has gone unrecognized. Unless we enact strict gun-control laws to limit access to firearms, it is inevitable that more incidents like
[the fatal shootings described in this essay] will occur. Now is the time to act, before we condemn America's youth to another decade of gun tragedies. (Read the full essay)

Sandy Hook was supposed to be the crisis that set this country on the track to take tangible, concrete action to address the epidemic of gun violence that takes so many lives each year….Even after 20 first graders were massacred at Sandy Hook elementary school, though, Congress failed to take any action to prevent similar tragedies from recurring in the future….More than a decade [later], it's long past time for our government to replace thoughts and prayers with meaningful action to prove that the United States is a country that loves its children more than its guns.

Third Place Winner
(Student's Name and High School Withheld at Student's Request)
Bayside, New York
…On January 6th, 2021, a mob stormed down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol as the Electoral College vote count was underway in Congress….As rioters clashed violently with police and broke into the building, members of Congress were evacuated from their chambers. Many congressional staff members, though, legitimately fearing for their lives, had to seek shelter on their own. In a cruel twist of irony, the young staffers knew exactly what had to be done, as they had been preparing for school shootings during their time as students. Their preparedness was a testament to how broken America's relationship with gun violence really is. Rather than enacting stringent gun control laws to address the longstanding gun violence epidemic wrecking the country, the staffers' bosses – our elected members of Congress – had opted instead to subject students to routine "lockdown drills," instilling fear in students of getting shot in a place where they should feel most safe and secure; leaving children and youth to hope that a mass shooting would never actually happen in their school, but to realize that if it did, it was up to them to protect themselves from becoming one of the victims when it should have been the responsibility of older generations to prevent such horrific events from ever occurring in the first place….(Read the full essay)

Running Laps
Every morning, I get up at 6:00am and run laps around my high school track. Its a chance to clear my mind, and to reflect, prepare to focus, and watch the sun rise over that place I've always yearned to call home, to feel safe in. But I just can't….When the sun rises over the United States of America, she sees us all running laps – living in an endless cycle of despair and strife, unable to escape the threat of gun violence. When the sun rises over all the other economically advanced democratic countries of the world, she sees governments that have taken definitive action to protect their citizens from the threat of gun violence. U.S. legislators have the power to adopt stringent gun control laws in the United States comparable to the laws in other democratic countries – laws that will finally bring us to the finish line. It is long past time that our elected leaders use this power to end our country's vicious cycle of gun violence. (Read the full essay)

On the first day of Honors Biology, my teacher went over the active shooter lockdown procedure; calm was key. We would lock the doors, close the blinds, and slide underneath the tables on the side of the room nearest to the windows. We would turn off our phones. We would be quiet. And we would wait. As twenty other freshmen and I eyed the dirty tile floor by the window, I thought about how this whole thing was absolutely absurd to someone from any other country but the United States. All because here, people want easy access to firearms more than they want kids to stop getting gunned down in school. (Read the full essay)

Sikhs in America: A Unique Perspective on the Gun Violence Epidemic
In the same week that I celebrated turning eighteen and being fully vaccinated, I was forced to grapple with news that Sikhs working in an Indianapolis FedEx store, some of whom had just immigrated from India and were collecting their first paycheck in America, were gunned down and murdered….While watching the news from Indianapolis, it was impossible to avoid reliving August 5, 2012, when a gunman opened fire on the Wisconsin Sikh Temple that my grandparents attended. They were minutes from entering the Temple when eleven members of the congregation were shot, with seven losing their lives….I am going to college in the Fall and I find myself considering the risk of being shot on campus and how to keep myself safe. High school graduates should not be watching college campus videos thinking, "Where am I least likely to be shot…." Stringent gun control laws are long overdue, and it is abhorrent that many lawmakers in Congress put the safety of the people behind demands of special interest groups like the NRA.

America Reaps the Whirlwind
A confluence of events this past year shook the foundations of American democracy, leaving young people to wonder what kind of a world they will inherit. A global pandemic took center stage when 2020 debuted, stealing headlines from an entrenched foe: gun violence. As 2021 dawned, insurrectionists tried to topple the government of the United States in an attempted coup. It was the perfect storm….Sometimes, crises arouse the best in Americans. This past year, as freedom trumped common sense, they exposed the worst.
When I Say Now, I Mean Now
I am the daughter of immigrants. I soak up this country like a sponge and I wear it like the whole world is watching. I tell my parents what I learn in school – "government" when I was six and "rhetoric" when I was twelve and "insurrection" at sixteen. Nobody taught me "gun." Nobody taught me "trigger," "open-fire," or "Glock," because we already knew. We have read the news and screamed far too many times….

Gun Control: The Most Important Kind of Child-Proofing
In the past year, people across the globe have gotten to know the inside of their houses very well….The sense of familiarity which stems from this consistency leads to an air of security: our home is the place where we feel the safest, and the most at ease….That is why I was so shocked to learn that 4.6 million American children live in homes with an unsupervised gun, and further, that most of those children know where that gun is stored, and some of them have even accessed it without their parents knowing. Obviously enough, the presence of a potentially-lethal firearm in the reach of young children is a recipe for disaster. Studies have demonstrated that it manifestly increases the risk of accidental self-harm. This is made clear by the fact that 8 children are accidentally injured or killed by firearms while in the home every single day. When you throw the pandemic into the mix, these statistics are a recipe for disaster….Homes are meant to be safe, and with proper gun control, politicians can ensure that they are so. Now is when we need it the most.
All It Takes Is One: How Guns Sparked 2020's Explosion
….What do you get when you put millions of guns, massive unemployment, increased anxiety and depression, and a political boiling pot all in the same country at the same time? That was the question we faced in May of last year, and the answer was precisely what one would expect….May 2020 had the highest number of mass shootings since 2013….Many countries, however, have figured out how to prevent sparks from setting off an explosion. For inspiration, we can look to the example of New Zealand. Less than one month after a mass shooting erupted in Christchurch,
the country issued a ban on most semi-automatic weapons. The enactment process was neither lengthy nor difficult, for everyone realized that a prohibition was necessary. Here in America, we have yet to come to that same conclusion….

Our Right to Life
Before the pandemic, my school had an active shooter threat. Right before lunch, our school went on lockdown. As we huddled in the back of our classroom, our teacher began flipping tables over and stuffing cracks with backpacks, creating D-Day like fortifications. In another classroom, a teacher grabbed a pole, ready to spear any potential gunman coming into the class. Our math teacher, just 25 years old, hid behind his doorway with a pair of scissors….Across the country, fear and paranoia have become a cornerstone in our schools. Whenever there's so much as a loud noise our entire class is in fight or flight mode, looking to the exits….The Declaration of Independence reads "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." How can we even claim to follow those ideals when we deny Americans the right to their own life?…America's past generations have failed us. We're too young to vote but old enough to die….
Their Future
As a high school senior, I am heartbroken with each headline of the latest tragedy in our schools, our stores, our businesses, knowing that families are grieving their insurmountable losses. At the same time, I am infuriated with the politicians who pocket money from pro-gun lobbyists and break the unfortunate news to the public: that as legislators, they can't do anything in their legislative power to legislate. Trends are fortunately changing though, slowly but surely….What teens in the United States have realized is that curbside vigils and 'thought and prayers' are poor substitutes for real gun control laws….

The Effects of Gun Violence on the Younger Generation
In March of 2020, schools shut down and transitioned to e-learning because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With students learning from home, the threat of gun violence in schools decreased. When schools opened back up in the fall for face-to-face instruction, the fear that students feel at school returned full force….The older generation has never experienced the threat of school shootings to the extent that students do today. They'll never understand what it's like to walk the halls and wonder where the best hiding place would be. They'll never sit in silence during a drill and think that one day, this could be the real thing. They've never planned out what they would say in a text message to their loved ones, should the threat become a reality. They have never walked out of their home to go to school and thought to themselves, this could be the last time I see my family….The adoption of stringent gun control laws would be the first step in diminishing this fear.

A Journey of Hope
As I travel a familiar path from my home to my grandparent's, I pass through Newtown, CT. I see signs painted with stars and words of inspiration – peace, love, hope. Those signs appeared in 2012, days after the Sandy Hook massacre but are now faded and neglected. I went to school that fateful morning, a couple of towns over, unaware of the violence that would later haunt me….

Susquehanna Township High School, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Growing up in a country where high schoolers need to practice where to hide if a murderous gunman infiltrates their school, a country where I was instructed at a young age to push desks against the classroom door to create a barricade from a shooter, a country that taught me to use a stapler as a weapon if someone was trying to kill me and my classmates in school, is terrifying…. Teen suicide rates in the United States have been increasing dramatically….Many believe this number has increased due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and quarantines….Having tighter gun laws would save many of those lives…. Similar to the COVID-19 pandemic, the threat of violent insurrection conflated with our country's gun violence epidemic, has affected American youth….[T]he potential for violent insurrection is frightening to many children, including myself. Especially, when the individuals who are threatening insurrection are those who oppose common-sense gun control legislation….
Growing up in America, there was never a day where gun violence was not on the news. Every week, I'd wake up to another school shooting; another hate crime; another suicide….Mass shootings are a part of normal American life; how could you turn away from it? Our generation becoming more numb to gun violence….We need to follow in suit of Australia, the UK, and Japan. Stringent gun control will prevent another generation of youth numb to the news of gun violence and another generation practicing lockdown drills in school.
Gun Control: A Vaccine for the Epidemic of Gun Violence
Between 1968 and 2011, 1.4 million American lives were claimed by gun violence, a figure almost two and a half times greater than those claimed by the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.A. Now more than ever, in a time of civil unrest and economic turmoil, it ought to become a top priority to restrict access to lethal firearms….
The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 left 26 people dead, including 20 children. The slaughter, and many others since, should have spurred tougher gun laws. Instead, firearm sales spiked, resulting in more deaths. Gun sales surged again in the wake of COVID-19, the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests. During a four-month period last year, nearly three million more firearms entered private hands. The attack on the U.S. Capitol earlier this year gave further warrant for tougher laws. Bogus claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen so inflamed some conspiracy theorists that they were primed for insurrection. The mob stormed Congress, a riot that left five people dead and desecrated the tabernacle of democracy. Meanwhile, the coronavirus forced students to attend classes virtually, interrupting the trend line of school shootings….The country, however, is slowly returning to normal. The Capitol has been repaired, COVID-19 vaccines are now available, and there have been seven mass shootings within a week. Historically, the nation's immigration policies — not its full of loopholes gun laws — have come under close inspection in troubled times. Border security is a distraction. The heavily-armed mob that should be feared is already here — living next door to us.
Mass shootings and gun violence as a whole are so ingrained in the fabric of our culture that youth in particular have become unbelievably desensitized to it. While each of these stories evokes incredible emotion and heartache, anything amounting to shock factor has been completely lost. The horrifying reality is that no one is surprised when countless people are murdered at the hands of someone who had access to weapons fit for war. This is even more pertinent when taking into account January 6th's violent insurrection. The culture and overarching attitudes surrounding guns played a large role in the events of that day and will play a large role should something similar happen in the future. With regard to this, all of my peers and I should be astonished and taken aback that this could ever happen in our country–but we are not. We are not because the history and laws in the United States allow for this kind of behavior to both exist and persist. More stringent gun control is absolutely vital to the advancement of our country….

I am a student, a sister, a woman, and a citizen, as the country slowly begins to reopen, I hold two distinct fears in my heart; one, that my elementary-aged siblings may contract this virus and slowly fade away in front of my eyes, and two, that they will be taken from us as schools reopen and someone decides that they are both judge and jury, and force their last memories to be one of terror and loneliness….As an American youth, and a woman, I have been fearful of guns since the active shooter drills began in Kindergarten. We have failed previous generations in upholding their innocence, but we can be better.
My high school experience started with two school shooting alerts and active shooter drills, all in the first week of September. I still remember – school staff members came banging on doors, teachers swiftly killed lights and students seamlessly achieved silence. Planned and tested, as I learned later on, this was the annual norm. Not even a month had passed and I was hastily thrown into a new, vicious reality of being an American teenager….Now, uncompromising firearm regulation is more important than ever before. With gun sales rising by 40% in 2020, it is crucial to limit general weapon accessibility….In the words of activist Greta Thunberg: "We can't save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed. Everything needs to change — and it has to start today." I may have been lucky my school experience ended with alerts. But I'm not willing to push that luck, not for me, not for anyone else.

A team of Doctoral researchers from the University of Cambridge had been developing a medical device that has the potential to vastly decrease the cost of amputee care for healthcare providers and patients. First Step Consulting was engaged to pinpoint how each stakeholder in the UK healthcare system would be affected in the case of this new device being widely adopted.
This healthcare start-up was struggling to assess the potential economic impact of their technology. The co-founders had already entered into negotiations with several potential investors, so their need to remedy this problem was urgent and it was imperative that their numbers were right.
Initially we developed a detailed understanding of the patient pathway and identified six critical stages (e.g. surgery, prosthetic fitting). We also closely examined the various stakeholders in this industry, such as the NHS and prosthetic manufacturers. To outline the cost structure for the care of a typical amputee patient in the first year following their surgical operation, we created a model which incorporated nearly one hundred input variables, such as the average annual cost of prosthetic maintenance.
After collecting and processing the data, we generated different scenarios to assess the economic impact of the client's technology and mapped out the ways in which it could potentially change the healthcare industry. Our dedicated consultants conducted intensive research that lasted approximately seven weeks. We subsequently validated our findings with the support of a number of industry experts and healthcare professionals.
At the end of the project, the client was presented with a dynamic spreadsheet model which allowed them to input and apply their own set of assumptions. This was designed to allow them to update these assumptions in the future as their business progressed. This was provided alongside a report detailing our recommendations and listing the assumptions and data sources which our model had been built on. Based on our analysis, we were able to conclude that should our client's technology be adopted as industry standard in the UK, the cost of prosthetic socks and fittings could be almost entirely eliminated, and the average total cost of amputee care could be reduced by approximately one third. The client reported back to us that they used our findings to size their accessible market and develop their pricing strategy. Following from this, they also commissioned the start of another project with us in the same year.


North-East Arctic cod is shared by Russia and Norway. Taking its multi-cohort structure into account, how would optimal management look like? How would non-cooperative exploitation limit the obtainable profits? To which extent could the strategic situation explain today's over-harvesting? Simulation of a detailed bio-economic model reveals that the mesh size should be significantly increased, resulting not only in a doubling of economic gains, but also in a biologically healthier age-structure of the stock. The Nash equilibrium is close to the current regime. Even when effort is fixed to its optimal level, the non-cooperative choice of gear selectivity leads to a large dissipation of rents.

May I be so bold as to pose a question to get this blog started?
It is my understanding that fewer than 20 congregations in North America use the Scottish Psalter in their worship. Given the excellence of this Psalm book, how can we encourage its greater use and appreciation in the American churches, whether in addition to another Psalter, or as the sole Psalter for public worship?
Do you know anything about those congregations that use the 1650 Psalter? I am curious to know if they are in a particular denomination or region of North America.
Our congregation in New Braunfels, TX uses the 1650 Psalter in our worship. We sing 3 Psalms in the morning worship and 3 Psalms in the afternoon worship.
It is an amazing Psalter. I can't imagine why its fallen into such disuse…well, I think I have a few ideas. The actual opinions of the Westminster Divines mean very little to the modern denominations that claim all or part of the Westminster Confession. Most who use the WCF don't sing the Psalms, so it isn't too surprising that they don't care for the Psalter approved by the Assembly. Another observation is that many Reformed/Presbyterian churches have moved away from more traditional translations of the Bible such as the KJV and Geneva versions. That movement to more modern language has also led to the abandonment of the 1650 Psalter.
This website is certainly a helpful way to promote the use of the 1650 Psalter!
1) Use it in family worship.
2) Use the KJV or Geneva versions of the Bible in corporate and family worship.
3) Start using "thee" and "thou" in your everyday speech.
Just kidding on that last one, but we do need to make sure our children are familiar with the vocabulary of the 1650 Psalter.
There are also a few congregations that use the Comprehensive Psalter, which is essentially the text of the 1650.
All three of these denominations use the KJV Bible version, so I think you are right to connect the choice of Bible version with the choice of Psalter.
Most Psalm-singing congregations on the US side are in the RPCNA, and the RPCNA has published many updates to the Psalter. I am aware of perhaps only one RPCNA congregation that uses the KJV and none that use the 1650. And yet, over the same number of years, many (but not all) Scottish Presbyterian denominations have stuck with the same Bible version and Psalter. Does this represent a differing sense of identity? Do the North American Presbyterian churches have less felt connection with the UK/Scotland on these matters?
One anecdote that may exemplify this is a comment made on a blog that I read several years ago. Someone from the UK referred to the RPCNA Psalter as "that hippy American psalter". No one needed to be offended, for this comment was clearly made in jest, but I later wondered if this represented a real difference in perspective between the two lands. If one visits the websites of the Scottish Reformation Society and the Trinitarian Bible Society, one will see much activity devoted to maintaining an appreciation of things that are both old and excellent. I do not see that same historical appreciation in North America. This appreciation still exists to be sure, but it is less visible.
I use both the 1650 and a newer version. Whilst I think the importance of Psalter unity isn't given enough thought when congregations look to a newer version, I wouldn't oppose the introduction of a newer version. Would you guys?
I am not opposed to newer Psalters at all. I want to encourage greater interest in the singing of the Psalms. I know others prefer more updated language, I don't think that is a bad thing. New is not always bad.
In my own experience, however, the motivation for change is the thing that worries me the most. When people want to make something more attractive to a particular culture, sometimes bad things happen. I also am a little cautious with people who become addicted to the need for constant updating or improvement. Sometimes with these people, a Psalter might be changed so many times that it ends up transforming into the Trinity Hymnal.
A good example can be found in the modern English translations of the Bible. With all of the effort to introduce countless translations to please consumers of every kind, none of them are superior to the KJV or the Geneva Bible. The newer versions might improve a few phrases or update some out-of-use words, but they often will make certain other sacrifices to make these "updates". Since the newer versions are not any better, in my opinion, it makes me wonder if we might perhaps be better served in spending our time on more worthwhile projects.
I'm so happy to find this website (and to have found the Exclusive Psalmody website). I've been looking at all things Psalm singing for the past few months. I purchased a small 1650 SMV psalter first and fell in love with it. And just today I discovered that one can purchase downloadable recordings of all of them! I also purchased the split-leaf (staff) Sing Psalms, based on the helpful reviews at Exclusive Psalmody. While I do appreciate this psalter (a lot!), I'm thinking that the need is so urgent, and we have the wonderful, time-tested 1650 right at hand, I think I'm going to settle with it for my personal and family's use. It's not inaccessible for anyone, I think, with some instruction. Thanks much for this website. May the Lord bring reform the singing of his people.

A Hero's Journey: Taking Heroics Learned in TTRPG to the Real World
By Variant J ⚔ / 01/09/2021 07/03/2021
It is no secret that the United States experienced a terrible affront to our democracy on Wednesday, January 6th. What was intended to be a peaceful transition of presidential power instead became a platform for a group of extremists to terrorize our lawmakers in an attempt to meet their demands. It is times like these that I'm reminded of a quote from one of my childhood heroes, Fred Rogers
This advice got me through several traumatic experiences when I was growing up. Now that I am older, I feel it important that I myself become the helper that others can turn to in time of trouble. If you have been following the blog, you may have seen my previous article about Taking the Party Outside. While this article will hold a similar theme, I intend to expand upon some of the ideas I discussed prior.
Adventuring parties tend to step in when others can't or won't. This is a key aspect that separates the heroic adventurer from those around them. They seek out danger or injustices that exist and work collectively to right them. Not all parties operate as heroes, but for those who do, these tend to be skills or attributes that define them.
They are Vigilant
A trait that heroes tend to rely on is their level of vigilance to potential dangers. In Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons, this is often portrayed through active and passive Perception, Investigation, and Insight. These skills can be developed and used in the real world to find people or causes that need help. If you see a sign of danger or an injustice either planned or being carried out, take appropriate action to eliminate the threat. Be sure to do so in instances you are equipped to handle, and seek assistance whenever possible.
A lone wolf can easily find themselves overwhelmed, which leads us to the next point.
They Collaborate
Heroic parties tend to forge alliances with like-minded groups while they work to right the wrongs they've discovered. They might join a hero's guild, gain favor with various political factions, or even deploy a call to action, and seek assistance to their own causes. While we aren't likely to have connections with a powerful Archmage or Knight Captain, there are still resources we can access to aid us in our efforts. There are several non-profit organizations that work to correct illegal and cruel treatment of minority groups of all kinds. Groups such as the ACLU, NAACP, and Amnesty International have been fighting the good fight for decades (or longer). They are always looking for helpers, whether that means pointing them in the direction of an injustice they can fight, a donation or resources they can utilize, or joining up and becoming a volunteer or member of the organization. Not only is there power in numbers, but often there are opportunities within these groups to help in a way you may not otherwise have access to alone.
One trait that both heroes in TTRPG and the ones within these groups tend to have in common is …
They Set an Example
Remaining vigilant, and collaborating with like-minded individuals to fight injustices and protect others from harm is certainly the mission of most heroic parties, but it isn't the complete picture. It is also important that a hero sets an example to those around them. A party that prevents a band of mercenaries from raiding the local village hardly seems heroic if they threaten harm to the local shopkeeper for refusing a discount. And while some situations may require drastic actions, it is generally in the best interest of the party to act in the manner that inspires the change they wish to promote.
This is equally (if not more so) imperative in the real world, where actions tend to speak louder than words. If we want to see each other treated with dignity and respect, we must treat others with that respect. Unless of course, we are dealing with fascists. Fascism must be stopped at all levels by the best means available.
Which leads to the last point of this article …
They Don't Let Small Problems Grow Larger
Heroes understand that even small injustices can fester if left alone. A small troop of bandits can develop into a multi-national thief's syndicate if left to their own devices. A corrupt politician can rewrite the laws of the land until a representative is elevated to a despot. Even when it is easier to let a sleeping dog lie, the clever adventurer knows that all injustices must be stopped.
This is also true in the world today. Small, cutting remarks are employed by some as means to test how they will be received by colleagues or peers. When the intent of the statement is questioned, it is often played off "as a joke" and was not intended seriously. It is crucial that the instigator understands that jokes that divisive, hurtful jokes lead to an environment where abuse is tolerated, and are therefore unacceptable. Do not let someone play off jokes that serve to harm others.
The world we live in is in just as much need of heroes as the worlds we inhabit during our Tabletop Role-play sessions. We must remain vigilant to potential dangers as they arise and work together to thwart them. We cannot let small injustices lie, lest they grow into greater threats.
We can no longer afford to take the hard work of others for granted. The best thing we can do is connect with our allies, roll up our sleeves, and help the world shine a little brighter.

On Thursday, Shinzo Abe's cabinet voted for a $182 billion package to shrink the deflation in Japan. However, there are doubts regarding how efficient the effects will be, according to the international media.
The package has a headline value of Y18.6 trillion yen ($182 billion), which is an exaggerated figure as the bulk of the package includes loans from government-backed lenders and spending by local governments that was already scheduled.
"Market participants want the government to focus even more energy on economic policy," said Hiroshi Miyazaki, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities.
"Some of these items, like reconstruction from the earthquake, were already scheduled and do not really constitute an economic strategy," he added, according to the press.
The Cabinet Office says the new measures will create around 250,000 jobs.
The steps approved on Thursday include measures to boost competitiveness; assist women, youth and the elderly; accelerate reconstruction from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami; and build infrastructure for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
"This includes steps to boost capital expenditure for the future and ensure the economy stays in a positive cycle," Abe said. "If companies invest more and wages rise more, then the positive (economic) cycle materializes," he added.
