The Fox Point area has been inhabited for thousands of years. The earliest known inhabitants were Woodland period Mound Builders, who constructed earthen effigy and burial mounds in the area. Many of the mounds were destroyed by white farmers between 1850 and 1920. In the early 19th century, archaeologists also found traces of several Hopewell villages in the area.[5]
Early surveyors in the mid-nineteenth century noted a point that resembled a fox's snout jutting into Lake Michigan at the present location of Doctor's Park in the village. They originally called it "Foxes Point" before residents eventually shortened it to "Fox Point."[5]
The land was organized as part of the Town of Milwaukee in 1835, and much of the land was bought by land speculators, who cleared the old-growth forests for timber. The first permanent settler in the area was Cephas Buttles, who owned 160 acres in the Town of Milwaukee and built a cabin in present-day River Hills in 1843. In the mid-1840s, many families of Dutch settlers began arriving in the Town of Milwaukee. John Cappon was the first Dutch settler in Fox Point, building his cabin in 1846. By 1855, more than 20 Dutch families lived in Fox Point. The early settlers farmed the land with new techniques that allowed them to cultivate wheat, barley, rye, and corn in the clayey soil. In 1848, they built a one one-room schoolhouses and another two in 1852, including the Old Dutch Schoolhouse Site and Burial Ground, which is a Milwaukee County landmark.[6] Two Dutch Reformed congregations formed in the community in its early years. The community's demographics changed later in the nineteenth century. One of Fox Point's first black residents was Calvin Reeves, a formerly enslaved man from Louisiana who moved to the community after the American Civil War with two Dutch-American soldiers returning home from the conflict. German immigrants also began moving to Fox Point in the 1860s, forming St. John's Lutheran Church in 1866.[5][7]
Fox Point changed significantly in the 1890s. Many of the originally Dutch farmers had moved to the City of Milwaukee and to the heavily Dutch Village of Oostburg. By 1898, the Dutch churches had disbanded. But at the same time, wealthy Milwaukeeans were building summer homes in the lakeside community, which was easily accessible via the Lakeshore & Western Railroad constructed in 1870 and later via the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company streetcars. In 1898, the Fox Point Club—the state's second golf course—opened in the community, and attracted even more wealthy residents to the area, serving as a social center.[5]
The rural Town of Milwaukee did not provide electricity, running water, sewage, or garbage collection, and by the 1920s, Fox Point's increasingly wealthy residents wanted a higher standard of municipal service.[8] Fox Point incorporated as a village in 1926, formed a school district in 1927, and began creating municipal parks, including Doctors Park on the Lake Michigan shore, which opened in 1930 and was transferred to the Milwaukee County parks system in 1937.[5][7]
Although the late 1920s saw a short-lived building boom before the Great Depression, the population remained in the hundreds through World War II.[7][9] But the village dramatically grew during the post-war boom with the population increasing from 1,180 in 1940 to 7,939 in 1970, a nearly seven-fold increase. The village also gained territory in 1954, when Bayside, Fox Point, Glendale, and River Hills agreed to annex what remained of the Town of Milwaukee to prevent the City of Milwaukee from expanding across northeastern Milwaukee County.[8]
Geography[edit]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.90 square miles (7.51 km2), all of it land.[10]
Climate[edit]
Fox Point, situated within the humid continental climate zone (Köppen prefix D), experiences distinct seasonal variation, with wide swings in temperature and precipitation.[11] The village's immediate proximity to Lake Michigan makes it susceptible to lake-effect snow in the winter months.

The government of the Village of Fox Point consists of a Village Board, and various other boards, commissions and committees. The Village operates under the Village-Manager form of government. The Board consists of six trustees and a President, who are elected to serve three-year terms. The current President is Douglas H. Frazer, whose term will expire in 2023.[9] The current Village Manager is Scott Botcher, who has served since 2015. The Board has three committees: a finance committee of three members, which oversees economic matters; an audit committee with three trustees and two residents who assist the finance committee; and a three-member administration committee, which oversees new village laws. Other committees, boards, and commissions include the plan commission, board of appeals, board of police commissioners, board of reviews, the building board, board of ethics, the fair housing commission, and the historic preservation committee. In Fox Point, the President also appoints a trustee and a resident to serve on the board of the North Shore Public Library.
The Village participates in several shared municipal services, including the North Shore Fire Department, North Shore Dispatch, North Shore Library, and the North Shore Health Department.

It's a quiet Christmas Eve. The snow is fresh and white, the kids are tucked in and dreaming, and even the mice are snug in their homes. But wait—what's that clatter? This classic Christmas poem was first published anonymously in a newspaper 1823, and it later appeared in an anthology of poetry from the American author Clement Clarke Moore in 1844. This unabridged version from a 1912 edition includes color illustrations from American artist Jessie Willcox Smith.

One of five beloved Christmas classics Written in 1831 by the father of Russian literature, this uproarious tale tells of the blacksmith Vakula's battle with the devil, who has stolen the moon and hidden it in his pocket, allowing him to wreak havoc on the village of Dikanka. Both the devil and Vakula are in love with Oksana, the most beautiful girl in Dikanka. Vakula is determined to win her over; the devil, equally determined, unleashes a snowstorm to thwart Vakula's efforts. Zany and mischievous, and drawing inspiration from the folk tales of Gogol's far-flung village in Ukraine, The Night Before Christmas is the basis for many movie and opera adaptations, and is still read aloud to children on Christmas Eve in Ukraine and Russia. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

Published anonymously in 1823, "The Night Before Christmas" has traditionally been attributed to Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863), who included it in his Poems (1844). But descendants of Henry Livingston (1748–1828) claim that he read it to his children as his own creation long before Moore is alleged to have composed it. This book evaluates the opposing arguments and for the first time uses the author-attribution techniques of modern computational stylistics to settle the long-standing dispute. Both writers left substantial bodies of verse, which have been computer analyzed for distinguishing characteristics. Employing a range of tests and introducing a new one—statistical analysis of phonemes—this study identifies the true author and makes a significant contribution to the growing field of attribution studies.

Santa Claus Worldwide
By Tom A. Jerman

File Pdf: santa-claus-worldwide.pdf
This is a comprehensive history of the world's midwinter gift-givers, showcasing the extreme diversity in their depictions as well as the many traits and functions these characters share. It tracks the evolution of these figures from the tribal priests who presided over winter solstice celebrations thousands of years before the birth of Christ, to Christian notables like St. Martin and St. Nicholas, to a variety of secular figures who emerged throughout Europe following the Protestant Reformation. Finally, it explains how the popularity of a poem about a "miniature sleigh" and "eight tiny reindeer" helped consolidate the diverse European gift-givers into an enduring tradition in which American children awake early on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought. Although the names, appearance, attire and gift-giving practices of the world's winter solstice gift-givers differ greatly, they are all recognizable as Santa, the personification of the Christmas and Midwinter festivals. Despite efforts to eliminate him by groups as diverse as the Puritans of seventeenth century New England, the Communist Party of the twentieth century Soviet Union and the government of Nazi Germany, Santa has survived and prospered, becoming one of the best known and most beloved figures in the world.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas 21st Century Edition

Category : Humor
File Pdf: twas-the-night-before-christmas-21st-century-edition.pdf
In Kluger and Slavin's rendition, Christmas is no longer a time of sparkling snow globes and neighborly good will, but rather a celebration of profits, bonuses, and cutthroat competition--complete with disgruntled elves, outsourced Santas, union conflicts, Twittered conspiracies, randy reindeer, media hysteria, factory relocations, toxic merchandise, and a giant leveraged buyout that rocks the world from pole to pole. Packing their verse with hilariously spun rhymes ("The workers grew grim, as they churlishly chored / while Santa grew haplessly, craplessly bored") and even funnier illustrations (picture Santa jumping on Oprah's couch and Mrs. Claus in a racy Maxim cover photo), Kluger and Slavin spike the holiday eggnog with smart and saucy sass--not to mention loads of laughs. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas 21st Century Edition, makes the perfect stocking stuffer or lighthearted gift.

Children Beware!

File Pdf: children-beware.pdf
How does a culture respond when the limits of childhood become uncertain? The emergence of pre-adolescence in the 1980s, which is signified by the new PG-13 rating for film, disrupted the established boundaries between childhood and adulthood. The concept of pre-adolescence affected not only America's pillar ideals of family and childhood innocence but also the very foundation of the horror genre's identity, its association with maturity and exclusivity. Cultural disputes over the limits of childhood and horror were explicitly articulated in the children's horror trend (1980-1997), a cluster of child-oriented horror titles in film and other media, which included Gremlins, The Gate, the Goosebumps series, and others. As the first serious analysis of the children's horror trend, with a focus on the significance of ratings, this book provides a complete chart of its development while presenting it as a document of American culture's adaptation to pre-adolescence. Each important children's horror title corresponds to a key moment of ideological negotiation, cultural power struggles, and industrial compromise.

One of five beloved Christmas classics A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her "little women" to the timeless "What Love Can Do," wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels—and drawing on Alcott's family and experiences in the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America, while their emphasis on generosity and charity make them timeless embodiments of the Christmas spirit. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house / Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse" -From The Night Before Christmas The Night Before Christmas, originally published as A Visit from St. Nicholas on December 23, 1823, in the Troy Sentinel, became America's favorite Christmas poem. After the poem was published anonymously, it was attributed to CLEMENT CLARK MOORE in 1837. However, scholars have debated the identity of the author of this poem and some believe it was written by Henry Livingston, Jr., (1748-1828), a New York farmer who also wrote poetry. The Night Before Christmas has had a great influence on the American notion of Santa Claus and on its tradition of Christmas gift-giving, which, before the poem, had been inspired by the Dutch figure of St. Nicholas. This unique edition of the famed Christmas poem, features the original engravings, from 1849, by T.C. Boyd. This American classic is a great gift for the Christmas season as well as for collectors of traditional American literature.

Norway's Yara eyes potential IPO of its industrial nitrogen business
http://www.borderless.net/norways-yara-eyes-potential-ipo-of-its-industrial-nitrogen-business/Yara is evaluating an initial public offering (IPO) of its industrial nitrogen businesses in a move that would "create the first integrated industrial nitrogen" company, the Norwegian fertilizers major said on Wednesday.
Ahead of its capital markets day (CMD) in London, the Oslo-headquartered crop nutrient manufacturer revealed the conclusion of a final IPO scope is expected in early 2020.
"Such a company would take an industry-leading position, with the highest value proposition in core markets, a solid European platform and an attractive market portfolio balancing stability and growth," Yara said.
"As part of the evaluation process, the business units mining applications (TAN), transport reagents and industrial nitrates will, effective 1 July 2019, be organised in a separate entity."
Yves Bonte, previously executive vice president of new business, will take up the role as CEO of the entity, and no longer be a member of the Yara corporate management team.
"Yara is well underway to becoming a focused crop nutrition company, and the evaluation of an IPO is an important step in that direction," added the firm's CEO Svein Tore Holsether.
"A new ownership structure would allow these businesses to continue to thrive and grow profitably, while continuing to provide healthy returns to Yara."
Yara also said it had achieved a 70% increase in targeted earnings improvements as a result of the Yara Improvement Program, adding it was expanding the program from 2020 to 2023.
"Key levers to achieve these targets will be higher production volumes and energy efficiency, a leaner cost base with clear fixed cost targets and improved working capital management," Yara said.
"The improvement program is on track to meet its original end 2020 target, representing an important milestone towards realising the expanded targets by end 2023."

No visa without presence doctrine?: The German universities should assist foreign students more
What difficulties are there at the moment for foreign students who want to compete their studies in Germany? Uwe Ebbinghaus editor in the features section.
What difficulties are there at the moment for foreign students who want to compete their studies in Germany?
Uwe Ebbinghaus
editor in the features section.
F. A. Z.
Kumar Ashish: The biggest Problem now is to get a visa. Those students who have already had one that is now expired but must apply for a new one. It is used to do the simplified renewal. Now you have to imagine again in the Embassy. The other difficulty is that the Embassy requires proof from the University that the presence of the respective study programme is compulsory. But the results from my point of view no sense. Because an Online degree from your home country is not a real study. I can attest to as a foreign student Online courses, but I often have no library, and other tools are missing. Therefore, the messages should meet the students in this question and you make no problems. The Minister of foreign Affairs should instruct the embassies to help foreign students.
How difficult is it for students who are not from the EU, to get a proof of presence teaching?
This is different. In the case of private universities there is no Problem. In the public part but already. Since the proof is rejected sometimes. Sometimes there is also a rejection of the message, even though you have proof of the University. For example, because the Corona of the Situation in North Rhine-Westphalia is difficult. I can't find the right way. In such a case, I think it would be good if the Embassy would accept a proof that you tested negative for Corona. What is also often get a Problem: at All to an appointment at an Embassy, especially in India and China. Students need to many, to call many times and, finally, that there are no free appointments more. The Problem is increased by the fact that in these two countries, many students want to go to Germany. I think a message needs to have enough free dates. You can also offer Online meetings. Germany is way ahead in the current Situation, in many ways, but still not perfect.
back to the question of the presence of evidence of German universities. It is to foreign students responsive?
In the case of private universities, it is very easy. You write an E-Mail and has the proof in the next day or two. For example, in Oldenburg, but where I study, you do not get this proof, so without further ADO. In such a case, we switch from the high-school group for foreign students to us, and recommend, this proof issue, because the applicant is tested, for example, a negative Corona, at home, no access to libraries and the Situation in Germany is stable. This helps often. But it is a pity that only we can do – as far as I know – and not other institutions, or even all professors use.
you are basically an extension of the concept of "compulsory attendance", because every good study should have a Presence in and of itself, the offer of a library has?
Yes, but it's not just libraries, students need to get a good grade, but also the direct assistance of professors and the exchange of in groups. So far, most of the universities go on a number. You write back: Okay, unfortunately we can show only Online courses, how are we to provide the desired presence detection? You do not want to take risk. You should not but think particularly, but for the students to use.
Why the difficulties of foreign students are now also in Germany earlier publicly? At the latest, in the discussion of the rejection of German students in the United States, you would be able to point out for it.
we have already done the middle of April, and to the competent Federal and länder Ministers written (the Writing is in the editing), but this has not helped unfortunately.

Bas van Fraassen is a structuralist and the shape of his 'structural empiricism' has been carefully refined over the years. In this talk I hope to both further illuminate his position through a comparison with structural realism and also highlight certain themes of concern for structuralists of all kinds. I'll begin with a recent debate over the Semantic Approach in which van Fraassen has intervened and will emphasise an underlying point about the reification of theories. As he pointed out there, the role of theories as representations is crucial in this context and I'll touch on that before discussing his well-known analysis of measurement as also crucially involving representation. In the quantum context this leads us into further issues, to which we have both contributed, having to do with how we conceive of quantum particles and here our paths diverge perhaps most sharply. It is in precisely this context that van Fraassen argues that realism fails to meet what he calls the 'Appearance from Reality Criterion' and I shall indicate how the realist might respond to this through a brief consideration of what we take quantum theory to be. That will return us to the point about not reifying theories in the first place and I will conclude by suggesting that this offers not only a way out of various difficulties but also some further common ground on which structuralists with different stances can meet.

何为贤妻 To Be A Virtuous Wife Chapter Thirty Eight "The Woman In The Rumors"
Introduction of He Heng's elder sister, Jin An Princess Royal. She is also the adopted daughter of the Empress (to answer the one commenter).
Chapter Thirty Eight The Woman in the Rumors
In the deep of the night where no one was there, a dark shadow flashed at the corner of the firewood room. Before this person could near the room itself, suddenly several lamps lit up in the surroundings. He looked in surprise and found many people surrounding him.
"Qian yeye here has waited so many days. Finally caught this rat," Qian Chang Xin held a lamp as he came out of the corner. He looked disdainfully at this servant in the guise of a manservant and raised his hand, "Bind him up, don't disturb anyone else."
The servants rushed in. Before the person could speak, he was gagged, bound and dragged away.
"Stupid trash," Finishing, he spat on the ground. He kicked the door to the firewood room with one foot and looked down at Bai Zhi who was tied and gagged in the corner. He gave a joyless smile and said: "Bai Zhi gunaing, your accomplice has already been captured. Why don't we have a chat and you tell me who let you into the fu?"
Bai Zhi squirmed against the rope on her body but the ropes were too tight and she could not escape. She glared hatefully at Qian Chang Xin.
"Free her mouth," Qian Chang Xin took a whip from a person behind him. He slowly whipped it on his palm, his face still carrying a harmonious smile, "Bai Zhi guniang, have you thought what you are going to say?"
"I don't know anything," Bai Zhi hatefully turned her head away, not looking at Qian Chang Xin, "I just wanted to fly a paper luan, wang ye has the wrong person."
Qian Change Xin was too lazy to argue with her but only said impatiently: "There's not much difference between you saying or not. But it's such a pity for your old and young in the family, and the newly married sister of yours. How about we give you a crime of poisoning wang ye, wonder what would your family have to suffer?"
"Shameless!" Bai Zhi turned her head and stared straight at Qian Chang Xing, "What do you want to do?"
"You aren't the first person to praise yeye this way," Qian Chang Xin uncoiled the whip, the smile on his face even more visible. Suddenly the whip dealt a blow on Bai Zhi's body, "Usually the people who praise yeye like this, by now their teeth won't even be on their body."
The pain caused her body to shrink, Bai Zhi stated with a white face: "Nubi is innocent."
"Since you are willing to give up on your family to protect your master, then yeye won't care about your family either," Qian Chang Xin proclaimed cheerfully, "Tomorrow, I'll let your family go first. Hopefully when you go down to see them, you can still face them."
Tears were streaming down Bai Zhi's face. She covered her wound and chocked out: "It's His Highness Ning Wang that wanted nubi to pay attention to the movement of the fu. Except nubi's status was too low and couldn't pass out any news. A few days earlier, His Highness Ning Wang wanted nubi to investigate how wang ye treated wang fei in the fu. Nubi assumed this wasn't such an important matter and so dared to pass on the news." She wasn't afraid of death but was afraid of it involving her family.
"That's nonsense, His Highness Ning Wang is a straightforward and honest person, you can't slander him!" Qian Chang Xin disagreed, "Such vile slander, wang ye won't believe you."
"It's true. A while ago, nubi's didi entered Ning Wang Fu for a job. Nubi had no other way and did wrong things. Gonggong, please investigate carefully, nubi really didn't pass on any information." Bai zhi cried as she knelt in front of Qian Chang Xin.
"Fine, yeye I don't want to listen to your nonsense," Qian Chang Xin retreated two steps, not allowing Bai Zhi to hug his leg. He said in a cold voice, "Bai Zhi died due to an illness recently. Send somebody to give her family thirty taels of silver." Finishing, he motioned for the person to pour the poisonous wine into Bai Zhi.
"Thank you wang ye, thank you gonggong." Bai Zhi trembled as she held a hand and poured down the wine. No matter what, at least wang ye let her family go.
Qian Chang Xin came out of the firewood room and threw the whip to one side. He took a handkerchief that a lower-ranked taijian handed over to wipe his hand, "Bury the person carefully. At least she served wang ye before. People, they can't try to find death themselves. Those that betray their masters, they don't have good endings." Finishing, he left without a second glance.
Tong fang Bai Zhi's death didn't arouse much interest in the fu. Everybody new, Bai Zhi died suddenly. Curiosity wasn't allowed in the case of a sudden death.
When Qu Qing Ju heard the news, she was trimming a newly delivered bonsai. She finished listening to Huang Yang before she put down her scissors to order: "Since the person is gone, don't mention the past anymore. Get someone to send something to her family, it is wang ye's grace." Since He Heng said Bai Zhi died of illness, then she had to give the appropriate response.
Even Yin Liu who was quick of the mouth didn't say anything at the time. After Huang Yang left, she spoke with some fear: "She's just gone."
"As a servant, you can't have multiple masters," Mu Jin sorted away the scissors that Qu Qing Ju placed on the table to prevent Qu Qing Ju from accidentally harming her hand, "This way, it was very generous of wang ye." This type of thing, it wasn't just a life, it was possible to influence an entire family.
Yin Liu didn't argue with the words. To her, all she had to do everyday was serve wang fei well. She didn't have to think about anything else. She didn't want to think that much either.
Qu Qing Ju propped her chin up with one hand and looked outside in boredom. In these days without a computer or phone, it was boring. She gave a yawn and drawled lazily: "Mu Jin, find a story book for me."
Mu Jin retreated but after a while, she didn't receive her novel, but Qu Qing Ju received a flower and gold printed invitation.
"The Jin An Princess Royal?" Qu Qing Ju looked at the invitation in her hand. At the banquet, there had been a few princesses and 郡主: daughters in the Imperial Family, most likely daughters of wangs. One rank lower than princess (gongzhu)jun zhu [1]. But this Jin An Princess, she had never met before. If her memory wasn't wrong, Jin An Princess was the eldest daughter of Qing di Emperor. Her birth mother had died, but she was adopted under the empress. The emperor had also decreed her the title of "the Princess Royal [2]. She had significant status within the womenfolk but since she married down to the Count of Bei Lu, she moved to live in Jing Zhou and rarely returned to Jing.
The rumor was that the Count of Bei Lu and Jin An Princess Royal were deeply in love and had one son and daughter. She was the object of admiration from many of the women at court and was the epitome of husband of wife in many people's eyes. But why was she returning to Jin now, at a time that wasn't a festival and to hold a picture-admiring banquet.
She looked at the beautiful flowery xiaokai script[3] on the invitation. The invitation that was sent to the wang fu would have been personally written by Jin An Princess Royal. To see a person through their writing. This Jin An Princess Royal was a very talented woman.
Personally writing a reply, Qu Qing Ju waited for the ink to dry before folding the paper. She passed it to Jin Zhan who had been grinding the ink: "Get someone to send it to the Princess Royal's fu."
At night, He Heng came to the zhengyuan. When the two finished eating the evening meal, Qu Qing Ju brought up the matter.
He Heng wasn't very close to his jiejie but he did hear some rumors floating in Jing: "Two days earlier, the Princess Royal came back to Jing. You might have never met her before, but since the invitation has been sent, you can go."
Qu Qing Ju gave him a cup of digestive tea, "I already sent a reply. It's just that the picture-admiring banquet is three days later. The day after that would be the Lantern Festival.[4] I was just surprised at the date that the Princess Royal had set down." When He Heng took the teacup, he took advantage and rubbed her hand. She glared at him half-heartedly, "Has the Count of Bei Lu returned as well?"
He Heng shook his head, "Haven't heard it. I've just heard that the Princess Royal came with her two children."
Qu Qing Ju felt that there definitely had been something that happened. The Princess Royal returning before the Lantern Festival, with her children but not her fuma .[5] Nothing serious was occurring in Jing at this time, why was she in such a rush?
Was it that this Count of Bei Lu had done something and let down the Princess Royal? Because in this world, the people that were held as examples of matrimony usually would screw up. This was most likely the supposed "the more loving, the faster you die."
If the truth was like this, then it was very interesting that the Princess Royal was returning to the palace right now.
"Don't think too much," He Heng set down the teacup and reached with a hand to scrape Qu Qing Ju's nose, "The Princess Royal is the most noble princess among my sisters. No one dare offend her."
Qu Qing Ju instantly understood the meaning in these words. If the Count of Bei Lu really did let down the Princess Royal, if the Princess Royal was so angry and wanted to get revenge, then this Count of Bei Lu won't have a good outcome. She looked at He Heng. These words might not be actual concern for his sister, but it was very honest.
"Wang ye is right," Qu Qing Ju smiled, "I was overcomplicating it."
"En, since it is already done, why don't you think about us," He Heng moved next to her body and gently bit her ear, "Like when should we prepare to sleep?" Finishing, he pulled on the hairpin in her hair. Instantly, her hair poured down like a stream of water.
Qu Qing Ju smiled at him, "What is wang ye thinking now?"
He Heng felt that this stare was like a string, pulling him in. He carried her up in a lengthwise embrace, "What I'm thinking, Qing Ju will know in a while."
Qu Qing Ju laughed out loud into his chest.
The second morning, Qu Qing Ju sat up in the bed. She looked at the scattered clothing on the bed, then at He Heng who was dressing in front of the mirror before she lazily retreated back into her blankets.
Seeing her wake, He Heng said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, I'll take you out on the carriage to sightsee."
"Wang ye, you have to keep your promise," Qu Qing Ju flipped around upon hearing this, propping her head up on one hand to look at He Heng, "Then you need to come back early, I'll wait for you."
"I'll certainly return very early," He Heng walked to the bed and bent down to steal a kiss from her lips. He straightened and announced, "I have to go to court. If you are tired, sleep a bit more." Finishing, his gaze sweep ambiguously over the red marks on Qu Qing Ju's collarbone.
Pulling the blankets to under her chin, Qu Qing Ju pointed outside and gently gave a snort: "Wang ye, you should be going to court now. Qie is still tired, and won't see you off." Finishing, she flipped around and left her back to He Heng.
He Heng shook his head as he smiled and his mood was light as he went out the door.
Qu Qing Ju slept for almost another two hours before lazily getting out of bed. She looked calmly on as the yahuan cleaned up the clothing under the bed. She sat at the mirror and drew her brows when she said: "Jin Zhan, get someone to ask around what's going on with the Princess Royal."
Jin Zhan bowed and left without a sound.
Silently looking at the woman in the mirror, Qu Qing Ju raised the corners of her lips.
[1] 郡主: daughters in the Imperial Family, most likely daughters of wangs. One rank lower than princess (gongzhu)
[2] The title in Chinese is "长公主" which means the elder, head princess. It is equivalent to the "Princess Royal" in English nobility as a title except there could be more than one Princess Royal at a time.
[3] 簪花小楷: xiaokai is a style of writing called regular script where the characters are of small size. It is akin to printing in English writing rather than handwriting/cursive writing.
[4] 上元节:shang yuan jie. It occurs on the fifteenth day of the first month, also called 元宵节 (yuan xiao jie)
[5] 驸马: the husband of a princess, the emperor's son-in-law.

Thanks so much! Ah, move lovey-dovey stuff 🙂 QQJ is very very cynical when it comes to relationships so I almost feel sorry for HH except for the fact that he's allowed as many women as he wants and they keep throwing themselves at him.
lightmoon says:
I felt sorry for Bai Zhi, she didn't become spy just because she want to 😔
Kobold says:
Yeah… Being poor is really sad. However talking about reason, in their era…there are servants who signed a death contract, in this case…they can only leave the Fu as a corpse to begin with. Normal aristrocratic families would have some, let alone prince like Heheng.
Every person working as a spy, like it or not, would know that they don't only risk their own life, but might even implicate their family. So they must know which master to follow and pay the price for it.
I think those who is ready to die to be a spy, would also get a reward for it.
Everything in the world has a price, nothing is free.
In her case the reward is very likely the position for her brother.
What disturbs me still is the fact that women are always those who will be sacrificed for the men's career, for the family. How useless actually such men, who can only use women to pursue career.
Axia says:
In the end HH will ditched all the concubines just for QQJ wonder though how many kids they will have. Ai such a sweet story, i wont expect it to end badly. Thank you for the chapter
Even though HH said not to worry about the Princess, I still suspect something going on…
rhaine123 says:
It seems that HH spends his nights always with QQJ. I wonder what will happen with his concubines…..also, will the Princess Royal and QQJ forge a friendship? ….thanks for the update….
His concubines sleep alone.
Maybe I don't have a devious, villainous mind, but I don't understand why He Qi would care how important Qu Qing Ju is to He Heng. What's he going to do if she were He Heng's most precious possession? Is he going to kidnap and ransom his second sister-in-law?
Also, I'm confused about the timeline here in this chapter. Qu Qing Ju just said the Princess Royal's party event is three days away, one day prior to the Lantern Festival. Then all of a sudden, He Heng wakes up the next morning and says the Lantern Festival is "today." Huh?
As for Bai Zhi… Wow, it sounds like very harsh punishment for spying. They could have just kicked her out of He Heng's wang fu.
They couldn't have kicked her out because she's a spy. She would have found He Qi and then all the effort into capturing who was behind her would have been for nothing because she could have told He Qi. Also, knowing how important Qu Qing Ju was meant that He Qi could potentially target her maternal family.
I'll go check back on the timeline. There's an implicit timeskip here.
wirlwind494 says:
Harsh punishment? They're a SPY.
Add on the fact that it's one of 'his own' betraying their master, it's already quite light compared to torture or exterminating her family etc.
Busybee says:
Thanks for the update. Love their lovey dovey moments.
yadane says:
Luckily HH isn't that coldhearted…spared BZ's family when she revealed the truth.
Oh don't tell me HQ is being more aware of HH
misae says:
flayfuldesigns says:
Thankies for the chapter~
Yes. It seems like there's a time skip, but seeing that you haven't revised the chapter since you commented about it, maybe I'll find out more about it on the next chapters.
I totally agree with Qu Qing Ju about couples that were held as examples of matrimony usually would screw up.
It happens alot in Facebook: couples excessively posting lovey-dovey-gooey stuff and a year later, they post insults to each other after a bitter break-up. LOL.
※ Qian Change Xin was too lazy to argue with her but only said impatiently
Change = Chang
※ Everybody new, Bai Zhi died suddenly.
new = knew

Oh, and by the way, this is 'The Story of Bubble Bobble III'
You know, I've always wondered why the folks at Taito (and, later, Working Designs) didn't do more to play up the fact that Parasol Stars, one of my all-time favorite PC Engine games, was supposed to be the third game in the famed Bubble Bobble series.
Sure, they mentioned that fact in a subtitle (as seen in the ad, which appeared in an old issue of the American TurboPlay magazine, below), but said subtitle is so small and subtle that it's all but lost in the cacophony that surrounds it.
Maybe the brass at Taito decided against trumpeting Parasol Star's connection to that classic series because it wasn't created by Fukio Mitsuji, the man behind both Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands (aka "The Story of Bubble Bobble 2")? I guess we'll never know.

"it wasn't created by Fukio Mitsuji, the man behind both Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands"
That's interesting; I guess it helps explain why I liked Bubble Bobble a lot when I was a kid and love Rainbow Islands to this day but was never all that fond of Parasol Stars.
As to why a bigger deal wasn't made about PS being part of the Bubble Bobble series, you ask a good question. I'm not sure what Taito did or didn't do in Japan; but as far as Working Designs goes, as popular as Bubble Bobble is, it's always been more of a "niche" title than a household name, so maybe WD figured that hyping up the BB connection wouldn't have much of an effect. That'd be pretty stupid of them, but they did a lot of stupid things with their TG16 games: the CF2 cover art is atrocious, the CF2 manual documents status and elemental effects that aren't even in the game, Exile II's monster stats are skewed to an abominable extent, etc.
bochalla
What is it about Parasol Stars that you don't like, if you don't mind me asking?
I'll say this, as much as I like Parasol Stars, Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands are better games. They require more strategy, for starters.
As for WD not trumpeting Parasol Stars' connection to BB — I don't think Taito did it in Japan, either, if the game's cover is any indication. Maybe there was a legal issue or, maybe as you said, BB is a niche title everywhere and touting the connection wouldn't do much either way.
BTW, it's funny that you mentioned the CF2 cover at the end of your comment — I'll be posting an old ad for that game soon, as I find it pretty horrible, too. 🙂
I enjoy Parasol Stars the most during levels where I need to think about how I'm going to reach/slay the enemies. What I don't like is that, as the game goes along, the "challenge" it presents is derived more from the enemies getting bigger and more resistant to being stunned than it does evolving board design. I wasn't happy about where the developers decided to place their focus; as you indicated, the game doesn't involve as much strategy as it might have, and I had the most fun with it when it made me come up with plans.
Also, while Bubble Bobble struck me as being very cute with its dino heroes and charming music, and Rainbow Islands was based on an exciting race-to-the-top concept and allowed the player to do so much cool stuff with the rainbow weapon, PS had no such "hook" for me. The fact that my favorite part of PS was the rematch with Bubble Bobble's big boss probably says a lot.
And that CF2 cover was definitely deplorable. The Cosmic Fantasy series features such nice character designs, yet WD went ahead and allowed CF2's cover to be inhabited by monsters that barely resemble the characters in the game. The Japanese cover, while relatively simple, was so much nicer.
You know what? I have a feeling that, in the end, the main reason Parasol Stars doesn't stack up to BB and RI is that Fukio Mitsuji wasn't involved — or, rather, that he was a better designer than the designers responsible for Parasol Stars. After reading a few interviews in which he talked about the creation of Bubble Bobble, I'm convinced he was a genius — in terms of game design, at least.
Regardless, I agree with you about Parasol Stars' high and low points — with the meandering, strategy-free levels being the low points. I really wish the levels were more contained, honestly, like those in BB and RI.
You'll probably find this funny, but as much as I've played Rainbow Islands over the years, I never thought about its hook being an "exciting race to the top" before you mentioned it. That's exactly what it is — and it's one of the reasons it's such a great game, too! (With another being the awesome rainbow-as-platform-weapon-whatever.)
Oh, and one more thing: Another related question that keeps popping into my head is "why didn't Taito port Bubble Bobble to the PCE?" They ported that game's two follow-ups, why not the original. Oh, well, at least I can play it on my PS2. 🙂
Maybe Taito felt that, with the NES cart, they had already been able to produce a home version of Bubble Bobble that was faithful enough to the original arcade game. They had to cut a few more corners to deliver New Zealand Story to the NES, and perhaps that's why NZS was later granted 16-bit releases while BB wasn't. (Ironically, they ended up botching those 16-bit renditions in various ways.)
Regardless, I'm with you: Bubble Bobble, particularly if "souped up" in some way, shape, or form, would've been a very welcome addition to the PCE library!
Incidentally, while taking a look at the Wikipedia Bubble Bobble article, I noticed that the game's music was the work of Zuntata, the same guys who produced Darius' tunes. I'd never realized that. (If you haven't played Super Darius for PCE CD, by all means do at some point; the soundtrack is incredible.)
I sure hope the FC/NES version of BB isn't what kept that game from being ported to the PCE — although it plays similarly to the arcade version, I've never been a fan of it. That said, unless the PCE version was nearly arcade perfect, I'd probably prefer the arcade original anyway.
As for Super Darius — thanks for the suggestion. I've never played any of the Darius games, to tell you the truth, though I'm not sure why. So, I guess I'll add Super Darius to my "buy eventually" list. 🙂

Yogi Bhajan Quotes on Relationships
April 9, 2021 | Yogi Bhajan
Categories: Yogi Bhajan Quotes
Love is the ultimate state of human behavior where compassion prevails and kindness rules.
"Why are there quarrels between husband and wife? Because they have never tried to become one. They are still two who are living under one roof. They are still two who are sleeping in one bed. They are still two who are managing one home. They are still two; one is driving the car and one is sitting and sleeping on the side. But they have not yet become one. Marriage is when two become one."
Merger of everything in the world is easy, except for two egos. The law of ego is that it never merges. When "I" lives, "Thou" will never come in. The only way for "Thou" to come in is that the "I" has to be eliminated. The fight is between "I" and "Thou." The fight is not between two human beings. So if your love affair falls apart, don't misunderstand. You can't save it because you can't love it. You can't love it because you do not have the control on your ego. If you cannot put your ego to the side, you cannot succeed in love. Period.
It is not possible to live in today's society without a cozy home. What is a cozy home? A cozy home is a place where there is a unity in all those who live there, an understanding in all those who relate to it. There is a will to sacrifice for each other; there is a will to live for each other; there is a will to protect each other.
Many things you are already practicing; but you practice them under fear. But if you practice them under love they become Divine.
Love is nothing but giving, tolerating and sacrificing.
Just remember, every soul is a God and every soul is a test for you. Every soul is testing how you're behaving; how you're reacting; how you're projecting; how your aggression and progression is. Are you lying? Are you scared? What's your relationship?
Success and the Spirit, p. 130
If you can do any favor for yourself, if you want to understand yourself, if you really want to build anything for yourself, try to make a plan to have a cozy home and a cozy partner. When even God may leave you, your partner should not—that kind of partner; a partner who does not know how to part. If your partner knows that he can part, he does not yet have the power to unite.
The greatest investment and greatest fair deal and enterprise is family, cozy homes. A cozy home is based on cozy people. Cozy people are not brought and imported, they are made from the time of birth to the time of infinity.
You want to know about a good man? Man is the one who can carry the home and the family and have the strength to keep that weight going; woman is that which can nurture and nurse and be herself and can keep her radiance and have the strength of that.
Mostly your love is passionate force. But when this passionate force turns itself to be a compassionate force under the guidance of compassionate intelligence, that is where one becomes brahm giani. One knows all, one sees all, one says all.
What is a cozy home? Where you enter and you feel the radiance of your divine self.
If you cannot put the ego on the side you cannot succeed in love, period. Therefore love must defeat it.
Kundalini Yoga was made for householders. It was not for the upper class. It was developed so that any household can successfully process through life with absolute dignity, divinity, and identity.
Love knows no pain, no sacrifice is too much for it; it is an absolute one-pointed state of mind toward the well-being of the other person who is called lover or beloved.
Time and space cannot play any part between two loving hearts.
"I love you but you didn't bring me flowers." Your love is hanging on flowers! You are seasonal, conditional, demanding and bargaining. Love is not a bargain. Love is not a business. It cannot be bought and sold. It has no condition. When you put a condition on love, it evaporates.
Physical intercourse is called the bridge of seven constructions. You can elevate your physical, mental and spiritual body seven times over if it is an intercourse of mind, body and soul, if it is sacred, if it is worthwhile. Otherwise it is the dumbest thing to do.
Where there's love there's no limit; where there's a limit, there's no love.
Let somebody prove friendship which time and space cannot jolt, and then accept the love. Don't accept the love first and then find the friendship; it will never come. You have lost the game. Find friends and not lovers; you will win the game of life.
People who love each other don't bargain. Love has no such thing as business. Love has no conditions, because love does not obey time and space.
You think that when you love somebody you have to totally follow him or her. No, that's not love. When you love somebody, you have to be totally truthful with that person.
The greatest demand is not to demand anything, and the greatest service of love is not to turn it into a business: "You kiss me, I'll bring flowers to you. I brought flowers to you, why didn't you kiss me?"
Don't count the deficiencies and demerits of your comrade or partner in life. Remember the merits and add as many as you can. Count your graces, your blessings, and worry not for tomorrow.
Marriage Manual
Invoke, don't provoke.
Where amalgamation takes place, a new metal comes out of the two. A new ego comes out of the two. A new identity comes of the two. And it is forever; it is not only for today and not tomorrow. Everything can come to an end. Even life can come to an end. But one thing even God cannot end: the desire to be one in each other. This desire even God cannot take away.
Why not play one game to become timeless and one with God? That is the game of how you recognize and love your own deep truth in life. When you can play just one game that is boundless in time and space, then all others stop. The measure of the game is how near you are to your own truth, to the reality in your soul.
-The Mind page 55

This time it was in the series opener against a potent Oakland Athletics for a 6-3 victory on Tuesday at Safeco Field.
"I'm OK if we go six (innings) and we win every day," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "That's a pretty good formula.
"Some nights have been crisper than others, but keep us in the ball game. If you give us six innings, we're in really good shape with our bullpen."
And with Dee Gordon.
He finished 5-for-5 with stole two bases – pushing his American League lead in that category to 12. And this that was after going 4-for-5 in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Indians.
In his past three games, Gordon is 11-for-14 (.786) at the plate. He raised his season batting average 30 points to .339.
The Mariners are 16-5 when the speed-demon has at least one hit. And they're 17-11 for the season.
"Anybody who doesn't like watching that, you're crazy," Servais said of Gordon. "It's energy. It's slapping the ball all over the field. It's stolen bases."
And Nelson Cruz's two-out, three-run home run topped it off.
"Cruz does what the Boomstick does," Servais said.
Now, to Hernandez.
He said there was one other key to the Mariners' success: LeBron James' hitting game-winning shots for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the first thing Hernandez talked about afterward.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah," Hernandez said. "Hopefully he always plays on game day."
Felix Hernandez discusses earning his fourth win of the season in the Seattle Mariners' 6-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. But he seemed just as impressed with LeBron James' game winner. Highlights courtesy of Root Sports.
Hernandez appeared on his way to that elusive seven-inning outing. He had allowed one run (on Jed Lowrie's first-inning solo home run) and two hits on 91 pitches entering the frame. And he had tied a season-high with seven strikeouts.
"Really good game and it starts on the mound, obviously," Servais said. "Felix was right on tonight. Command of the fastball, curveball and starting to see the changeup come back tonight and be a real weapon for him. Probably one of the sharper outings he's had all year for us to this point."
But then he walked Khris Davis and allowed a double to Matt Olson. That ended his day after a season-high 101 pitches.
"Yeah, man – I wanted to go seven so bad," Hernandez said. "I made a mistake with the lefty and he hit a double. It happens."
Those two runs eventually scored, but no matter – because the Mariners' bullpen has locked down.
They have yet to lose a game when their bullpen has inherited a lead. Make this 13-0 when they do that.
Nick Vincent held the lead in the seventh, despite the Athletics getting those two runs (both charged to Hernandez).
Then Juan Nicasio earned his 11th hold (most in the major leagues) with his clean outing in the eighth inning and Edwin Diaz locked down the ninth for his major-league-best 12th save.
Makes you wonder how this bullpen might look if David Phelps didn't have to get season-ending Tommy John Surgery during spring training.
"They're pretty good," Hernandez said. "Trust me, they're pretty good."
Now, about the offense.
The game was tied, 1-1, entering the fifth inning and the Mariners did what they do as well as any team in the major leagues has – two-out hitting.
With Gordon and Jean Segura aboard, Robinson Cano sent a shot 403 feet to center field … for an out at the wall.
But Cruz didn't miss. He sent Andrew Triggs' middle-high slider 410 feet for a three-run home run – his sixth this season – to give the Mariners a 4-1 lead they wouldn't relinquish.
A few takeaways:
Dee Gordon went 5-for-5 with two stolen bases, becoming the first Seattle Mariners player to do that in a 6-3 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday at Safeco Field. Highlights courtesy of Root Sports.
Gee, Dee
Dee Gordon became the third player in Mariners history to have at least four hits in back-to-back games.
Can you guess the other two?
Kendrys Morales did that in 2013. And Ichiro Suzuki did that three times (last in 2006).
"It's pretty cool, man," Gordon said. "I just got here and I didn't know much about that. I heard about it a little while ago. It's pretty cool, man. But more importantly, we won."
There's just few things as fun as watching Gordon terrorize opposing teams.
He tied a career-high with five hits (the third time the 30-year-old has done that in his career). And this was after he was 4-for-5 against the Indians on Sunday. So he's 9-for-10 his past two games and 11-for-14 his past three games.
The only game the Mariners won when Gordon didn't get a hit? That was a 1-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.
What a play
Kyle Seager had one of the finer defensive plays of the season in the second inning.
He ran toward the third-base line to back-hand Matt Chapman's ground ball and then quickly tossed the ball to second base while falling away to get Matt Olson before Robinson Cano threw to first to complete the double play.
And, of course, Seager led off the bottom half of the frame and sent the first pitch he saw for a ground-rule double over the wall in right-center field. He scored two batters later on Mike Zunino's double to left in Zunino's first at-bat at Safeco Field this season.
That tied the game, 1-1.
And then in the fifth inning, Hernandez struck out Mark Canha and Mike Zunino fired a throw off a bounce to second base to catch Matt Chapman trying to steal. Hernandez followed by striking out the next batter for his seventh strikeout.
"I thought the key tonight was our defense," Servais said. "I don't think the guys get enough credit. The 5-4-3 double play that Seager started and the strike-em-out-throw-em-out with Zunino was a big play. Really what we need to help our pitching out is making those types of plays and we got the guys who are capable of doing that."

Two-outs, so what?
Nelson Cruz's three-run home run in the fifth inning gave the Mariners 19 home runs with two outs in their first 28 games this season.
That is tied for the most in the major leagues, alongside the Athletics. The New York Yankees, like the Mariners, entered with 18 two-out home runs.
The Mariners needed to break through. They got it with Nelson Cruz's three-run home run.
His homer traveled 410 feet – just after Robinson Cano was the second out of the inning on a 403-foot fly out. Cruz now has six home runs this year.
But it came because Dee Gordon got on base with a single and Jean Segura drew a walk.

Top pitcher
Can't say enough about Juan Nicasio and Edwin Diaz at the back-end of the bullpen. Nicasio leads the majors in holds and Diaz leads the majors in saves.
But Felix Hernandez had probably his sharpest outing of the season, especially through six innings. The seventh tainted his stat line, finishing at three hits allowed, three runs, four walks and seven strikeouts. But he entered the frame having allowed two hits, one run and three walks.
"Every time I got out there every five days, I've been feeling even better," Hernandez said.
Top hitter
Dee Gordon was 5-for-5 with a ground-rule double (that would have been a triple had it not bounced into the stands) and two stolen bases. No other Mariners player has done that in their team history.
He's the energizer to the Mariners' lineup.
And his past three games? He's 11-for-14.
Hernandez was asked what's allowed him to be so dominant against the Oakland Athletics in his career? He entered Tuesday's game with a career record of 25-10 with a 2.61 ERA in 48 starts against the A's.
Hernandez turned around and knocked on the wood of his locker in the clubhouse.
"I have no idea why," Hernandez said. "Just go out there and compete every day."

A Channel is the number assigned to a pathway on the light console to control a dimmer. In older or basic light consoles this relationship is fixed at "1 to 1", meaning Channel #4 always turns on dimmer #4. In more modern light consoles the soft patch features allows you to assign any snumbers on the light console to any dimmer or group of dimmers in the rack. So by changing the patch, Channel #4 on the console can be programmed to turn on Dimmers #6, 34, and 95.
Remember the relationship of dimmer numbers to circuit numbers may or may not be fixed as well. See circuits.
With many modern advancements in lighting, Channels now do many other things as well. A channel can control the movement, color, gobo, zoom, iris, prism, and other parameters of a moving light, and even some fog machines and other atmospheric effects can be controlled directly from a control channel.
A channel refers to a single strip on a mixing console that has an input. Channel can also refer to the path from the microphone or other input through the console (often encompassing a transmitter/receiver link in a wireless system).
