View Full Version : Abandoning Hope - Re-imagining Hades
Tragak
A world specifically described as a vast and dreary emptiness, DMs and players commonly ridicule the Grey Waste as being too "pointless." This should not be a source of ridicule, as the whole point of the Grey Waste is exactly that the Grey Waste is fundamentally pointless. While there is a reason - however sickening - to be Lawful Evil or Chaotic Evil, this realm's purity of Neutral Evil is ultimately about not having a reason.
The primary Lawful sin of Baator, Acheron, and Gehenna is that of Pride in one's allies, loyalty and position, and a Lawful Evil adds to himself if his cruelties against others bring him greater station. The Chaotic sin of the Abyss, Carceri, and Pandemonium is the Lust for new pleasures, experiences, and challenges, and a Chaotic Evil adds to himself if his cruelties against others bring him greater excitement. In contrast, the primary sin of this Neutral Evil plane is Envy: the willingness to take a loss just to make somebody else take an even bigger loss. In a world of billions and billions of those people tearing each other down for billions and billions of years, there's not going to be anything left for anybody.
And there is an entire Plane constructed by this self-destructiveness. Welcome to
The Grey Waste Of Hades
"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster."
This is a world where the only thing that people care about is hurting each other. If it would cost them any noticeable effort to serve a potential master, then they will not do so. If it would cost them any noticeable effort to betray a current master, then they will not do so. If they gain safety from hurting somebody who would've otherwise hurt them, then that is a happy bonus, but not one that they truly care about. If they gain some pleasure from hurting others in exciting ways, then that is a happy bonus, but not one that they truly care about.
Pure Evil without true profit or pleasure is ultimately pointless, and every single atom of Earth and Air and Fire and Water in the entire infinity of the Grey Waste is molded from this fundamental pointlessness.
Neutral: ambivalent towards the strong
Evil: completely antagonistic towards the weak
Evil characters gain a +2 bonus to INT/WIS/CHA-based checks, Good characters take a -2 penalty
Evil characters cast spells at +1 caster level, Good characters cast spells at -1 caster level
Evil spells are cast at +1 caster level, Good spells are cast at -1 caster level
The Outsiders that would be right at home here would be the Yugoloths (NE).
Devils (LE) would be uncomfortable in a world where even the most clearly established chain of command can be disrupted at a moment's notice.
Any that come to Hades – more likely Oinos or Niflheim than Pluton – will generally be:
*Battling the forces of Chaos
*Trying to convert the "ingrates" to a life of "service."
*Settling a personal matter that could just as easily have happened somewhere else
Demons (CE) would be uncomfortable in a world where people put so little effort into making life and death more exciting.
Any that come to Hades – more likely Oinos or Pluton than Niflheim – will generally be:
*Battling the forces of Law
*Trying to convert the "party poopers" to a life of "action"
Entrapment: anybody who stays in the Grey Waste for too long, and who is not immune to the enchantment, will be drained of all hope, joy, and empathy. She will eventually be reduced to a miserable, evil shell that doesn't want to leave, either because she doesn't believe that the rest of the world is any different or that she wouldn't be able to escape even if she tried. Visitors resist Entrapment by making a Will save (DC = 10 + the number of days that they have spent unprotected in Hades). If one is not entrapped, then she and her allies can protect her with
*Remove Curse: removes 1 day from the time that counts against her
*Atonement: removes 1d4 days from the time that counts against her
*Wish/Miracle: removes 3d6 days from the time that counts against her
*Consecrate: a full day on Consecrated ground a) does not require a Will save and b) does not count against her when she leaves
*Hallow: a full day on Hallowed ground a) does not require a Will save, b) does not count against her when she leaves, and c) every full 8-hour length spent on Hallowed ground removes 1 day from the time that does count against her
However, once somebody has been entrapped, then her former allies would need to use a Wish or a Miracle to restore her. The number of days that she spent Entrapped would still count against her as much as do the days before her Entrapment do, and further Wishes/Miracles would be next to worthless is she has been in Hades for years, let alone if she is an Outsider who has lasted for centuries or millennia.
This is the reason that the Celestial Realms try not to get directly involved in the Blood War. If you get it into your head that killing Evil is more important than building Good, and if you devote yourself to finding things to kill while neglecting anything to build, then eventually the only thing you see in the world is how much of it needs to be destroyed. If you forget that there are innocent people in the world that you need to protect, then you won't see any reason not to hurt them if it would help you kill those that you have deemed your enemies.
And this abandonment of hope can happen anywhere. How much more powerful would it be in a world where the very air you breathe is infused with a pure Evil that doesn't care how or why? Personal willpower will not protect you for very long: eventually, any non-evil visitors to the Grey Waste will be dependent on mystical protection to ward off the corruption.
Oinos: the surface of Hades is world of war and sickness for those who corrupted innocents into hurting each other for some benefit. They would not merely hide their cruelty for fear of discovery, rather they would actively look for people who could be persuaded to not only commit the same cruelties, but to go out themselves and look for even more targets for the same corruption.
Potential NPCs:
*Pallideq: a lich raising an army of undead, he seeks out recent battlefields and animates any corpses that are still intact enough for him to do so. What groups of travellers might he hire the PCs to "turn into useable materials," and what might he use to hire them?
Potential conflicts:
*The Blood War, full stop. Demons and Devils primarily wage their battles in Hades (a Devil regiment would not last a second in the Abyss, nor would a Demon mob in Baator, and neither Carceri nor Gehenna has enough open space for massive battles), and they tend to stay on the surface rather than going underground to Niflheim or Pluton. Will the PCs avoid the battles, take a side, or reap the benefits of dealing with both on the sidelines?
Niflheim: just below the surface of Hades lies a world of blinding fog, congested overgrowth, and relentless predators. Those who committed cruelties against the innocent, saw the righteous fighting to protect the innocent, and then corrupted the innocent by portraying their own cruelty as "necessary self-defense" against the "unreasonable stick-in-the-muds," will find this world to be no different from what they had pretended the rest of the world to be.
This is marginally the more Lawful of the sub-planes (although nowhere as Lawful as Gehenna), with somewhat more Devils than Demons.
Where the corrupters of Oinos focus on the carrot ("If you help me hurt people, then you will get X for your efforts."), those of Niflheim focus on the stick ("The powers-that-be are not fighting me to stop me from hurting people, they simply feel like fighting me. They will attack you too, whether you hurt anybody or not, so you gain nothing by refusing my offer to trade service for protection.")
*Latrodectus: a succubus who saw the network of gangs dominating the sub-plane, decided that the present "Cold Blood War" was too "boring," and starting playing them against each other to stir up a more "entertaining" series of conflicts. What gangs are involved, and which might she hire the PCs to attack first?
*A Baatorian general has stationed his Army in the safety of the fog to regroup after a "strategic retreat" from Oinos, and the local gangs want to force him out before the Demon hordes catch up. Can the PCs negotiate a truce, will they simply walk away, or will they have to take a side?
Pluton: the deepest bowels of Hades are a world of emptiness and death left behind by robber barons that destroyed everybody else's necessities in the name of their own luxuries.
Every forest has been burned for the minerals beneath, leaving very little air; every river and farmland has been saturated with industrial waste, leaving very little food or water; and every single person here has tried to kill everybody else at some point or another, leaving very few survivors.
Even the self-destructive charlatans of Niflheim and Oinos gave at least nominal regard to their own survival, but this realm has eaten itself alive, and the rest of the Grey Waste is next in line.
This is marginally the more Chaotic of the sub-planes (although nowhere near as Chaotic as Carceri), with somewhat more Demons than Devils.
*Phyrgia: a Medusa sorceress/cleric theurge who petrifies her victims, uses Stone Shape and/or similar Transmutations to sculpt "unappealing" statues into more appealing poses, and transforms the statues into gold by soaking them in water lifted telekinetically from a cursed spring. Since she is capable of praying for her own food and water, she will similarly try to "improve" any food and/or vegetation that she finds naturally. What could the PCs bribe her with in order to form a truce?
*A cabal of Celestial clerics has established an outpost in this least inhabited of the sub-planes, hoping to "infect" the plane with righteousness for as long as possible without Yugoloth interference. They have been discovered, and an army is being raised to exterminate them. Will the PCs walk away, or will they be forced to take a side?
New Feats:
Disillusionment: You have seen so much deception and cruelty in the world that you cannot imagine anything else. If you are being gamed by somebody who has a secret, vicious angle for what he's doing, then you are very good at determining what that angle is, but you have no idea what to make of people who genuinely do not have angles for everything and everybody.
Knowledge (Planes) 5 ranks, Sense Motive 5 ranks, Bluff 5 ranks
Affinity for either Baator, Gehenna, Hades, Carceri, and/or The Abyss (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=17048470#post17048470)
When making a Bluff or Sense Motive check against a target of Evil alignment, you roll twice and take the higher result. When making a Bluff or Sense Motive check against a target of Good alignment, you roll twice and take the lower result.
Wasting Away: the plagues and enchantments of the Grey Waste have been worming their way into your heart, your mind, your body, your soul; instead of fighting them, you have learned to feed them. You have learned to surrender your own life force to the Waste inside you, and can channel the corruption into a vicious bolt of pure Evil to destroy your enemies.
INT 18, WIS 18 or CHA 18

Affinity for Hades (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=17048470#post17048470)
As a move action, you may choose to inflict any number of hit points as damage to yourself. In exchange, you select one target within a range of 5ft x either your INT, WIS, or CHA modifier (whichever is highest). Inflict hit point damage to that target equal to the number of hit points that you sacrificed, plus a bonus equal to the modifier used for calculating range.
Does anybody else have ideas to add? NPCs, locations, conflicts, mechanics? Feedback on what I've already come up with?
Vedhin
"Well, seems I've been asked to talk about the Gray Wastes, so might as well get started."
"First, a brief overview of the layers."
"Oinos, the Battle Plain, is the top layer of Hades, and the Blood War's main battleground. The demons and devils slaughtering each other here endlessly are an immediate danger. Also, hold off summoning fiends here-- there's a big chance (75%) you'll get one from a nearby battle, and they tend to seek revenge after the summoning is over. In addition to the death from the Blood War, there's also rampant disease on the layer. The Oinoloth, a yugoloth who has claimed the Siege Malicious from the tower of Khin-Oin is in control of the layer's diseases, so you can be sure they'll be nasty."
"Nifleheim, Northman's Despair, gets its name from housing the underworlds of the Norse and Celtic pantheons. It's misty and dreary. It also has trees. That's pretty much it."
"Pluton, Olympian's Gloom, has the underworld of the Greek pantheon. It has less mist and more heat than Nifleheim. The layers of Hades are boring."
"Next, ways to dodge the apathy and keep your spirits high!"
"One of the least known, yet most effective, methods is charm spells. You see, charm magic makes the target feel friendly towards the caster. This little bit of caring about something lets the subject snap out of the apathy for as long as the spell lasts. After two weeks of giving into apathy, this stops working though."
"Abbathor, a dwarven power of greed, makes his home in the Glitterhall on Oinos. It's one of the few places in the Gray Wastes that has color, and that can rouse someone from their despair here. Abbathor also keeps the fiends and diseases out of his realm. You'll pay a high price-- Abbathor isn't about to let anyone leave while they still have any precious metals on them. He'd also be mighty glad to rob you of anything else you have."
"Arawn, a power of the Celts, rules Annwn on Niflheim. The realm offers some protection, which gets stronger the farther in you go. The edges and center of the realm also can makes changes in those who go there, making them more or less civilized (After 2 days in Annwn, make a DC 15 Will save. On a failure, you gain a +1 bonus to Stergth and Constitution, but take a -1 penalty to Intelligence and Wisdom {if nearer the edge}, or you gain a +1 bonus to Charisma but take a -1 penalty to Strength {if nearer the center}. This lasts for as long as you stay in Annwn, and persists after you leave for as long as you spent in Annwn). Arawn also has a giant magical cauldron, capable of reviving the dead-- though as a power of the dead, he's unlikely to do so. There are a few people to note: every tenth year Arawn swaps thrones for a year with a Prime king named Pwyll. Pwyll is more personable the Arawn, but won't let his god down. Hafgan is a powerful warrior, and the mortal enemy of Arawn; but Arawn is incapable of taking action against him. Getting rid of him would be a great way to get on Arawn's good side, but you'd have to be tough to beat Hafgan. Arawn is also the resting place of the Wild Hunt (or Wyld Hunt), but if you find them you'd best head for the hills."
"Death of Innocence is a town in Niflheim, ruled by a woman named Viliki Cainor. She never quite manages to give up all hope, and her modicum of optimism somehow spreads to the rest of the town. The town gets its supplies from one Kherion Mallibrun, a member of the Revolutionary League. He feels a bit guilty about supporting Viliki's regime, but likes to tell himself he's fighting the rule of the plane."
"Kherion isn't the only one who thinks Death of Innocence is full of rebels against the natural order. Hel herself agrees with him. She lives in the divine realm of Niflheim, on the layer of Niflheim. That place WON'T help fight the ennui, instead this is a warning to avoid the place completely."
"There's the town of Corpus on Pluton, which is made of people-- willing people, but all the structures are made of living sentient beings. It may help with the apathy, but it's likely to be discomfiting to most."
"Then there's the Town at the Center at the center of the three layers. See, the layers of the Gray Wastes aren't neatly 'stacked'-- there's a place where all three meet, and there stands the Town at the Center. There're some here who have given into the despair, but the place seems to have some protection from it. The town is divided into three sections, one for each layer-- and you'll know if you cross into a different section. Each section has but a single gate into the layer proper, which is typically available for travel. The Oinos section is walled off, and you have to spend a day in quarantine to enter the rest of the town. The center of the Town at the Center is occupied by a palace, claimed by one Dandy Will, the tiefling who rules this place. The place also has a market with a wide variety of merchandise. It offers quick transit between the layers, but there are a couple things to be aware of: first, what Dandy Will says goes, though you're likely to be ignored by him. Second, the militia, which acts as the town guard, has the authority to kill anyone who disobeys them. They're a mix of mortals, devils, daemons, and demons (Blood War deserters who're laying low here), but they tend not to be too abusive of their station.'
"Well, that's all I've got to say for now. Come back later, and you might hear some more about Hades."
XionUnborn01
I don't really have any constructive criticism to give out but I can say one thing: You've managed to create a horrific place out of the former ludicrous Hades.
As I read your descriptions, I couldn't help but feel haunted by the thought of every fiber or matter being infused by evil that slowly consumes you. This being the battleground for the Blood War is brilliant and I love the imagery of fog slowly rolling through a vast open plain where you can hear a battle waging and every break in the fog reveals another group of soldiers fighting to the death, the echoes coming from all sides giving only a hint of the magnitude of the fight.
I really applaud your work, it's certainly a vast improvement.
I'll read and critique it in more detail later, but first I just wanted to ask: have you looked at Planewalker? Their forums had a pretty good Hades project for a while, especially some material that I found quite interesting on the Hordelings and the Night Hags.
Okay, back. You've written some interesting stuff there, certainly, but I don't feel there's much new there, yet. I think the next question to ask would be how we can build on what Planescape introduced (the gloom, the despair, the uncaring evil).
One thing that I always felt was important about Hades is that it is, in a way, impersonal evil.
The Abyss is evil for the sake of the self, primarily. A demon will push you down to push himself up. It's an infinitely tall pile where everyone is trying to climb to the top by stabbing everyone between him and the top. A demon is only ever nonhostile to you if you can benefit it directly, and not even then. Promise it a reward and it may let you live. Or he may kill you to just take it. Or it may kill you because its secretly afraid you may betray it later, or just become stronger than it is.
The Hells are primarily evil for the sake of the organisation. For a cause. Hell will crush and grind individuality of everyone in it for the sake of a war that must be won. There is no time for freedom, the safety of the multiverse is at stake. You will bow down or be destroyed, because it must be done for maximum efficiency. Nothing personal, you were just in the way.
In the wastes, evil just happens and no one cares anymore. Ever read a story about someone being beaten to death by a gang while a crowd of commuters pretended not to see it? That's the glooms. Ever heard of a victim bleeding out in an alley ten steps away from a busy bus stop? Welcome to Hades.
The world sucks. I can't do anything against it, so why should I try? Trying to improve it is a pointless effort. No one else will change, so I won't either.
Pandemonium is somewhat similar, in that it's evil is just there. Acheron is in much the same boat.
But Hades is more inactively impersonal, if that makes sense. Pandemnioum has the howling wind and lightless mazes that contribute to its malice, and Acheron has the ringing of the cubes and endless battles.
Hades is just endless bland grayness, filled with apathetic petitioners. It doesn't have to do anything to create a feeling of hopelessness. That's simply in its nature.
You can sort of notice that in my descriptions of the layers-- Nifleheim and Pluton are practically devoid of distinguishing features, and Oinos's distinguishing features, the diseases and the Blood War, come from the Yugoloths and off-plane fiends, respectively. If the various fiends weren't involved, all three layers would be nigh identical expanses of nothing worth noting. Hades simply has nothing to hope for.
The petitioners also factor into that. Even in the Hells or the Abyss, you might aspire to become a minor devil or demon, and work your way up the pecking order. In Gehenna or Carceri, you still might be able to climb higher up the heap. In Hades, you're stuck as a larvae.
Are Hordelings petitioners? It's been a while. If they are, that's a fantastic prospect too. You get twisted into a terrible, but ultimately weak form and instantly get your mind overridden by a group mind that is in a constant state of both rage and fear.
Nope, you're stuck as a larvae. Even Hordelings are a step up from larvae.

Matthias Dolderer (* 15. September 1970 in Ochsenhausen, Deutschland) ist ein deutscher Kunstflugpilot und im Jahr 2016 erster deutscher Gewinner der Red Bull Air Race Weltmeisterschaft.

Karriere

Anfänge
Zunächst absolvierte Dolderer eine Ausbildung zum Industriekaufmann. Seine fliegerische Karriere begann schon viel früher auf dem elterlichen Flugplatz in Tannheim in Oberschwaben. Mit 13 Jahren unternahm er hier seinen ersten Alleinflug in einem Segelflieger. Im Jahre 1988 erhielt er als jüngster Deutscher eine Ultraleichtflug-Lizenz. Nur wenige Tage später erreichte er bei den Deutschen Meisterschaften den dritten Platz. Zwischen 1988 und 1991 nahm Dolderer im Kader der deutschen Ultraleichtflug-Nationalmannschaft an mehreren Europa- und Weltmeisterschaften teil. Mit dem Titel des deutschen Meisters beendete er schließlich seine Karriere in dieser Luftsportart. Im gleichen Jahr wurde Dolderer Fluglehrer – ebenfalls als jüngster Deutscher. Zusammen mit seiner Schwester Verena übernahm er den familiengeführten Flugplatz Tannheim. Um ihre Leidenschaft für die Fliegerei mit anderen zu teilen, gründeten die beiden Tannkosh, einen internationalen Luftfahrttreff und mit über 1300 teilnehmenden Flugzeugen Europas größtes Fly-in. Mit 18 ist Dolderer deutscher Meister im Ultraleichtflug, mit 21 Weltmeister. Kurz zuvor, 1990, kam seine Schwester, auch sie Kunstpilotin, bei einem Flug ums Leben.

2002 wurde Dolderer offizielles Mitglied bei den Flying Bulls, für die er bis heute als Pilot auf mehreren Flugzeugtypen weltweit im Einsatz ist. Insgesamt hat er mehr als 300 Tage seines Lebens im Cockpit verbracht, dabei über 100 verschiedene Flugzeugtypen gesteuert und viele Airshows in ganz Europa absolviert.

Privatleben
Matthias Dolderer lebt und trainiert in Tannheim. Aus der Beziehung mit der Fechterin Britta Heidemann hat er einen im Oktober 2020 geborenen Sohn. Das Paar trennte sich ein Jahr später.

Soziales Engagement
Dolderer ist seit 2020 Botschafter der Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, die sich für die Integration sozial benachteiligter Kinder durch Sportprogramme engagiert.

Motorsport
2010 und 2011 nahm er als Gaststarter an je einer Rennveranstaltung der Mini Challenge Deutschland teil und belegte 2011 in der Gesamtwertung den 22. Platz mit 12 Punkten.

Wettbewerbskunstflug
Dolderer intensivierte im Sommer 2006 seine Kunstflugaktivitäten mit einer Extra 300; ein Jahr später nahm er an Kunstflug-Weltmeisterschaften in der Kategorie Unlimited teil. Nach dem Wechsel auf den Flugzeugtyp Extra 330 SC feierte Dolderer den Gewinn der deutschen Meisterschaft und erreichte auch hohe Platzierungen in internationalen Wettbewerben – immer in der Kategorie "Unlimited".

Dolderer startet seit 2009 in der Red Bull Air Race Weltmeisterschaft. Aufgrund seiner Erfolge wurde Dolderer zum Red Bull Air Race Qualification Camp im spanischen Casarrubios eingeladen. Hier erhielt er die Superlizenz, die Voraussetzung zur Teilnahme an der Red Bull Air Race Weltmeisterschaft. 2009 bestritt er seine erste Saison als Rennpilot bei der "Formel 1 der Lüfte". Beim Auftaktrennen in Abu Dhabi holte Dolderer gleich den ersten WM-Punkt. Das Rennen in Budapest, Ungarn mit einem überraschenden fünften Platz brachte Dolderer seinem Ziel, die Weltmeisterschaft in den Top 10 abzuschließen, einen entscheidenden Schritt näher.

Dolderer überraschte das gesamte Feld der erfahrenen Piloten bereits bei seinem WM-Debüt 2009 und wurde Dritter beim Saisonfinale in Barcelona. Auch trotz mehrfacher Zeitstrafen bei diesem letzten Saison-Rennen sicherte er sich schließlich den 9. Platz in der Gesamtwertung, nachdem er zuvor mit Platz 11 sein Ziel zu verfehlen drohte.

India recorded 41,322 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, taking the country's total to 93,51,109. The toll rose to 1,36,200 with 485 more deaths, while the number of active cases stood at 4,54,940. So far, 87,59,969 people have recovered from the disease in the country.
Delhi registered the most fatalities with 98, followed by 85 from Maharashtra, 46 from West Bengal, 29 from Haryana, 27 from Punjab, and 23 each from Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, among others.
The Indian Council of Medical Research said that it has tested 13,82,20,354 Covid-19 samples, including 11,57,605 on Friday.
The coronavirus tally in Arunachal Pradesh rose to 16,231 after the state registered 27 new infections, reported PTI. The toll climbed to 50 with one new fatality. There are 911 active cases and 15,270 recoveries in the northeastern state. In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Covid-19 tally went up to 4,689 as seven more people tested positive for the infection. The archipelago now has 120 active coronavirus cases, 4,508 discharges and 61 deaths.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, meanwhile, arrived at the Zydus Biotech Park in Ahmedabad as part of his trip to visit three Covid-19 facilities in India to review the coronavirus vaccine development work. He will also visit Bharat Biotech in Hyderabad and Serum Institute of India in Pune.
The visits will be to get a "first-hand perspective of the preparations, challenges and roadmap in India's endeavour to vaccinate its citizens", his office said.
Modi's review of the vaccine development comes a day after the Supreme Court pulled up the Centre for not enforcing coronavirus guidelines properly. The court noted that India was experiencing another wave of new cases, which was "uncontrollable". It added that things were "going from bad to worse", and that the Centre needed to ensure that states were following the protocol laid down.

Do You Worry About Your Hair?
Awake!—2002
Kareah
The absence of hair on the head, although not necessarily a total loss of hair. Often baldness occurs in spots or patches, while on other parts of the head the hair grows normally. This kind of hair loss is called pattern baldness and accounts for about 90 percent of all cases. The Bible makes mention of "baldness" (Heb., qor·chahʹ), "baldness of the crown" (Heb., qa·raʹchath), and "forehead baldness" (Heb., gib·beʹach and gab·baʹchath). (Le 13:41-44; 21:5) The exact cause of baldness is unknown. Heredity is considered the primary contributing factor, while infection, hormone imbalance, aging, nervous disorders, even some medical treatments, and syphilis may be factors.
Baldness is a defect that interferes with personal attractiveness and so among peoples of ancient times was associated with shame, mourning, and distress. (Isa 3:24; 15:2; Jer 47:5; Eze 27:31; Am 8:10; Mic 1:16) However, under the Law of Moses, baldness was not considered as uncleanness. (Le 13:40) The Law given through Moses does not list baldness as a defect that would prevent one from being allowed to serve as priest. In the prophet Ezekiel's vision the command was given that the priests should wear their hair neither loose nor shaved, but clipped.—Eze 44:20.
Jehovah's prophet Elisha was bald. After he had succeeded to the prophetic office of Elijah, he was proceeding uphill from Jericho toward Bethel when he was mocked by a mob of children who cried: "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!" The primary reason for their jeers seems to have been not that Elisha was bald but that they saw a bald man wearing Elijah's familiar official garment. They did not want any successor of Elijah around. He should either keep going his way up to Bethel or ascend in a windstorm to the heavens as the former wearer of that official garment had done. (2Ki 2:11) To answer this challenge of his being Elijah's successor and to teach these young people and their parents proper respect for Jehovah's prophet, Elisha called down evil upon the jeering mob in the name of the God of Elijah. It was a test of his prophetship. Jehovah manifested his approval of Elisha by causing two she-bears to come out of the nearby woods and to tear to pieces 42 of them.—2Ki 2:23, 24.
Some peoples made a practice of artificially imposing baldness by shaving in time of sorrow at the death of a relative or for religious reasons, but the Israelites were forbidden to practice this. (De 14:1) Priests were given a specific command that they should not make themselves bald or shave the extremities of their beards for the dead. (Le 21:5) Israel was commanded that they should not cut the sidelocks or extremity of their beards.—Le 19:27; Jer 9:26; see BEARD.
In Egypt, the men generally shaved their heads, and they looked upon beards as a sign of mourning or slovenliness. For this reason Joseph, when taken out of prison, shaved before being brought into the presence of Pharaoh. (Ge 41:14) However, the Egyptians covered baldness with wigs, and many who shaved their heads and beards wore wigs and tied on false beards. In the Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical treatise from the second millennium B.C.E., there are 11 prescriptions for preventing baldness.
In the Law, one with head leprosy was to shave his head at the beginning of his quarantine period, on the day of purification, and again on the seventh day. (Le 13:33; 14:8, 9) If a Nazirite became defiled, then at the time of establishing his purification he shaved his head. (Nu 6:9) A captive woman whom an Israelite soldier was to take as a wife had to shave her head.—De 21:12.
Nebuchadnezzar's troops experienced temporary baldness during the strenuous and difficult siege of the land city of Tyre. Jehovah said to Ezekiel that "every head was one made bald, and every shoulder was one rubbed bare" as Nebuchadnezzar's military force performed "a great service" in rendering judgment on Tyre. Their heads were made bald by the chafing of helmets and their shoulders from the rubbing of materials (for the construction of towers and fortifications).—Eze 26:7-12; 29:17, 18.
In some places in the days of the apostles, such as in the immoral city of Corinth, women caught committing adultery or fornication were punished by having their hair shaved off. Slave girls had their hair clipped short. Paul apparently draws on this circumstance for illustration, showing that a woman in the Christian congregation who would pray or prophesy with her head uncovered, even though she had her hair as a covering, might as well go the whole way and show her shame in disrespecting God's headship principle by having her hair completely shaved off.—1Co 11:3-10.


We disagree with Dr. Phil! Relationships between inter-abled couples and couples with disabilities can be successful!
Recently, Dr. Phil McGraw said on his popular television show that "one hundred out of one hundred times," relationships between inter-abled couples do not work. As a happily married visually impaired woman with a background in pastoral care and counseling, I thoroughly disagree with Dr. Phil.
Last week, I shared an article with seven relationship tips that can help all couples, but especially couples with disabilities. This week, I am happy to host an article written by one of my best friends, Martha Harris.
Martha is a writer and young professional who lives in Minneapolis. She is also blind. I am very much looking forward to officiating at her upcoming wedding!
Weddings should be a joyous time where everyone feels welcome and included!

How do we make it accessible for everyone?
Why is Accessibility Important to Me?
I work at a software company helping businesses, schools, retailers, and others ensure their websites are accessible for all disabled people. Even before that, I cared about accessibility; I've attended events where I had trouble accessing information or was entirely excluded, because of my blindness, auditory processing disorder, or food intolerances. I want to ensure our friends and family are included and accommodated in the ways that work for them.
The most important piece for this is [the location] where we are going to get married. We needed somewhere inexpensive that we could prepare and bring in our own food instead of using a catering service. I have a gluten intolerance, and we have guests who have Celiac disease, are lactose intolerant, vegetarian, and can't eat pork for religious reasons. My fiancé Quinn and I aren't fancy food people, so we are having a build your own burrito bowl bar. People can choose chips, chicken or vegetables, cheese and sour cream or salsa, guacamole, ETC. We'll also have gluten-free cookies, fruit salad, and other allergy-friendly sides and desserts.
Is the venue physically accessible?
There is a ramp leading inside, an elevator, and a restroom with a wheelchair accessible stall. This is always an important check because sometimes places say it is accessible, but it is located behind a step to enter the main restroom space or locked until someone requests a key.
Can people's voices and music be heard?
Luckily, a microphone and sound system are included in the venue price. This will be helpful for anyone who is hard-of-hearing or has an auditory processing disorder, so they won't have to strain to hear and understand what is happening.
Are there multiple spaces to be?
I and some of our friends have anxiety and get overwhelmed after a while by all the people and noise. There is a dressing room area as well as a patio near a fountain for people who need a quieter space or somewhere to take upset children for a break from the festivities.
Can people easily get to the venue?
It is across the street from a bus stop, so it will be inexpensive for people who don't drive to attend. If they want a car, there is Uber and Lyft, which will only be a few dollars per person, especially if they share the ride. The wedding and reception are in the same building, so there is no additional travel cost.
Can people access our information?
We made a Facebook group, and we'll send out print and braille paper invitations for those who need or want them.
I will braille out my vows, so I can read them and won't forget what to say. We might buy braille wedding rings. We'll request people to be fragrance-free to not trigger people who get migraines, have chemical sensitivity, or just don't like strong scents.
We'll hopefully keep the music at a comfortable volume, enough to enjoy and understand the songs but not so loud we have to shout at the person sitting next to us.
We posted asking people to privately send any accommodations they need that aren't already listed.
I was born in Paraguay, lived in Baltimore, grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, went to grad school in Louisiana, and now live in Minneapolis. My undergrad degrees are journalism and sociology. I studied for a Master's in teaching blind students, worked on an adult literacy certificate, and took online courses to learn about web and app accessibility. I also read constantly, especially realistic fiction books that make me think and anything to do with social justice and intersectionality. My previous job was teaching braille and assistive technology to blind children and adults, and I am currently a web accessibility tester.
Finally, I love trying new foods, blogging occasionally, learning any new software or hardware, making bead and charm bracelets, shopping, listening to musicals, especially Hamilton, going to plays and concerts, spending time with my fiancé and friends, and playing with my dog and cat.

It is beautiful that this young couple is thinking so thoroughly about the needs of their guests. In today's society, we are often bombarded by stories of bridezillas, overly demanding wedding parties, and extremely extravagant weddings that cost a fortune. It is so wonderful to see that there ARE people out there who care for and consider others.

About Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Three horror icons come together in one indispensable tome—with an introduction by Stephen King.
"Within the pages of this volume you will come upon three of the darkest creations of English nineteenth-century literature; three of the darkest in all of English and American literature, many would say…and not without justification…These three creatures, presented together for the first time, all have a great deal in common beyond their power to go on frightening generation after generation of readers…but that fact alone should be considered before all others."—From the Introduction by Stephen King
A scientist oversteps the bounds of conscience and brings to life a tortured creation. A young adventurer succumbs to the night world of a diabolic count. A man of medicine explores his darker side only to fall prey to it. They are legendary tales that have held readers spellbound for more than a century. The titles alone—Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—have become part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. And the authors—Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Robert Louis Stevenson—equally as mythic, are still possessed of an inventive and subversive power that can shake a reader to this day with something far more profound than fear. They gave root to the modern horror novel, and like the creatures they invented, they've achieved immortality.

Q: Mozilla Thunderbird "FiltaQuilla"; JavaScript And Regular Expressions I have the FiltaQuilla add-on for Thunderbird (http://mesquilla.com/extensions/filtaquilla/) because I wanted to give myself the ability to move messages that match a date range AND the subject line of the message can match any words I specify. Matches are found using a JavaScript Regular Expression. The idea is that if any of the five phrases below are found, the email would then be placed in another folder.
Here is the filter I'm trying to set up:
/CST 205 | CST205 | CST205-01 | CST 205 Preparation | CST205-01_SP14/ig

It has moved a bunch of emails, but is leaving emails that it shouldn't. Below are the subject lines of emails this script shouldn't be leaving behind:

*

*Re: CST205-01_SP14 Keep it up!

*Re: Hiring for CST 205

Can you help adjust my script to avoid leaving those messages behind?

A: Make it
/CST 205|CST205|CST205-01|CST 205 Preparation|CST205-01_SP14/ig

and it will no longer require blanks before/after the strings. Also, The first two expressions should be enough, the rest matches subsets of them anyway. And you could shorten them to
/CST ?205/ig

A: Is there anything wrong with:
/CST\s*?205/ig

This would capture anything with "CST 205" in it with an optional number of spaces between the letters and numbers.

Man Arrested For Shooting At Police Officers During Looting At Bayfair Center In San Leandro
Filed Under:Attempted murder, Bayfair Center, Looting, San Leandro
SAN LEANDRO (CBS SF) — A man was arrested and charged with attempted murder of police officers during looting incidents at Bayfair Center mall in San Leandro, according to an announcement by police Tuesday.
San Leandro police said officers responded to reports of looting the Bayfair Center on May 31 and upon arrival, the suspect fired eight gunshots directly at officers. A ricocheted round struck a Union City police officer who suffered a minor hand injury, but there were no other injuries.
Police investigators obtained video of the suspect, his vehicle, and the crime scene. He was identified as 33-year-old Luracious Paul Wilkerson of Sacramento.
Wilkerson was arrested on July 1 and his case was presented to the Alameda County District Attorney's Office Monday, which filed eight counts of attempted murder and eight counts of assault with a firearm on police officers, along with multiple enhancements.
"The night of this incident posed significant challenges for law enforcement and our community," said Police Chief Jeff Tudor. "The professional work done by our staff and our partnering agencies resulted in the swift apprehension of the suspect."
Wilkerson was being held without bail at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.

All elements of these earrings have been handmade by myself.
These unique earrings are wear-resistant and colorfast, which means that even after a while of being worn, they will not lose the vibrant color they have at this moment.
The earrings are rather on the large side, but still very light and comfortable to wear, as the leverback earwires make them safe to wear.

The surprising reason why we make bad decisions
by Jennifer Fitzgerald October 18th, 2013
Here at PolicyGenius we've taken a serious, scientific interest in bad decision making to help people make better insurance decisions. In today's serious, scientific inquiry into bad decision making, I will explain a rampant but little-known decision making bias with the science (nay, magic) of tacos.
I love tacos. I bet you do too. I'll also bet you've never broken down the decision making science behind whether to eat a taco. Don't worry, I've done it for us:
If "Taco eating utility" is greater than 1 (i.e., your expected enjoyment is greater than the probability of regret), then eat the taco. Simple, right? And if you're like me, with a hunger level usually at Defcon 1, then the result of this decision making calculus is often (always), "Eat the taco!"
What's at play here is more than the appeal of tacos; it's a cognitive bias called the hot-cold empathy gap. That gap refers to the fact that you make a decision and deal with the outcome of that decision in different emotional states. When that happens, you're usually unhappy with the outcome of the decision and wish you'd made a different one. How it usually works:
You make a decision in a rational (cold) state. For example: you're not hungry and reviewing your health habits and declare, "I will go on a diet and not eat tacos."
When faced with the outcome of the decision in an emotional (hot) state, you're unhappy with it. And you undo that decision: "I'm starving and tacos are delicious. I will eat all the tacos." And off you go on a spiral of regret.
Blowing your budget, cheating on your diet, putting off important tasks – blame it on the hot-cold empathy gap. Research reveals that people are not very accurate at forecasting their emotional states – which leads to decisions that you won't stick to or will be unhappy with.** In the case of insurance, here's where it gets you into trouble (and, unlike the decision not to eat tacos, you can't undo it when you want to):**
In a rational (cold) state, you decide "I should probably get renters insurance but there's a Law & Order: SVU marathon on now. I'll get around to it before I ever need it." But you never get around to it. There's always a Law & Order: SVU marathon on.
Oh no! A few months later your apartment is broken into. Thousands of dollars worth of your stuff is stolen. You're stressed and upset and feel violated. You really wish you'd taken the 15 minutes to look into renters insurance!
Bottom line: when you need insurance, you're in an emotional (hot) state. When you're deciding about what insurance to get, you're in a rational (cold) state. When you're in a rational state, you underestimate the influences of emotional drives, and how you'll feel when you're sick / been robbed / been in an accident. Most people know they need insurance. But most people are under-insured. Be smart! Beat the bias! Get insurance! Eat tacos!
Readers: what decisions do you usually put off? What decisions have you regretted when faced with the outcome? They can be silly or serious - let us know in the comments! We're putting together an infographic of the responses (and our own research).

Donald Trump, "Hillary Clinton will do 'Anything' to stay in Power"
By Paul Ebeling on October 1, 2016 Comments Off on Donald Trump, "Hillary Clinton will do 'Anything' to stay in Power"
Friday, Donald Trump demanded that US President Barack Hussein Obama not pardon Hillary Clinton for "crimes against our country" and that the former Secretary of State prohibit the 5 people receiving immunity in the e-Mail probe from working in her White House should she get elected.
"Here's my question to Hillary Clinton," Donald Trump told supporters in Novi, Mich., west of Detroit. "Can you promise that not one of the five people who were granted criminal immunity will ever be allowed to serve in a Clinton administration if that ever happens?
"Oh, would that be bad," Donald Trump said. "Let's see what happens.
"Here's a demand I am making today to President Obama," he continued. "Mr. President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators for their many crimes against our country and against society itself?
"Will you make that pledge?" Mr. Trump asked. "No one is above the law."
In July, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch closed the FBI's yearlong investigation of Mrs. Clinton's use of her private e-Mail and server in her home in New York without bringing charges against the former 1st Lady or any of her aides.
Ms. Lynch accepted the findings of FBI Director James Comey, who said the week before that Mrs. Clinton and her aides were "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information" but recommended that no charges be filed in the case.
Donald Trump slammed Mrs. Clinton on the e-Mail probe during the rally, at the Suburban Collection Showplace.
"Hillary Clinton and her cronies will say anything, do anything, lie about anything to keep their grip on power, to keep their control over our country," he said.
Donald Trump reminded his supporters of when former President Bill Clinton "pardoned a fugitive" Marc Rich on his last day in office in Y 2001.
Marc Rich was charged with making oil deals with Iran during the hostage crisis. He was in Switzerland when he was indicted and never returned to the US, making the FBI's "Most Wanted" list. He died in Y 2013 at age 78.
"This was a serious fugitive, Marc Rich, in exchange for unknown and undisclosed amounts of money," Donald Trump said. "You remember that? Marc Rich. Famous Mark Rich.
"People couldn't believe it," Donald Trump said.
"The American people have had it with years or decades of Clinton corruption and scandals."

Bang Konthi (, ) is a district (amphoe) of Samut Songkhram province.

Geography
The district is slightly inland at the northwestern tip of the Bay of Bangkok. Neighboring districts are (from the east clockwise) Mueang Samut Songkhram, Amphawa, Wat Phleng, Mueang Ratchaburi and Damnoen Saduak, the latter three in Ratchaburi province. The Mae Klong river flows through the district.

History
In 1913, the district was enlarged by incorporating the district Mae Nam Om. Additionally, it was reassigned from Ratchaburi to Samut Songkhram. In 1914 the name was changed from Si Muen (สี่หมื่น) to Bang Konthi.

Administration
The district is divided into 13 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 101 villages (mubans). Kradangnga and Bang Nok Khwaek have sub-district municipality status (thesaban tambon). There are also 12 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).

Sights
Bang Nok Khwaek is the centre of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ratchaburi. The Nativity of Our Lady Cathedral was built in 1890 in French Gothic style.

Khai Bang Kung is a former river fort, which was of great importance during the late Ayutthaya and Thonburi periods. After being deserted for almost 200 years, a Boy Scout camp was established at the site in 1967, and a shrine was built commemorating King Taksin.

Wat Charoen Sukharam Worawihan is the most important Buddhist temple in the district. The main Buddha figure in the Ubosot (ordination hall) is  called Luang Pho Toa. It consists of a laterite core covered with plaster and gilded, and is in the style of the Sukhothai period.

Q: orthogonality of complex exponentials I want to show that $(1+e^{-j2/3 \pi}+e^{-j4/3 \pi}) = 0$.
The property that I am supposed to use is that of orthogonality of complex exponentials. This means that if $e^{-j(2\pi kn)/N }$ will be equal to N when $n=lN$.
My problems are that the rule is applied when its a sum and this case its not a sum. Secondly, there is no $ln$ in those exponents such that the properties are achieved. Finally even if we apply the property it would give N which is $3$ in this case so I do not see how it would add up to $0$.
Thank you
edit:
This is is the orthogonality of complex exponentials.

A: Not sure what is meant here by "orthogonality of complex exponentials"; also, I'm having a little difficulty with the assertion that "$e^{-j(2\pi kn)/N}$ will be equal to $N$ when $n = lN$," since
$\vert e^{-2j\pi kn)/N} \vert = 1, \tag 1$
always, whereas $N$ with
$\vert N \vert \ge 2 \tag 2$
appear admissible in the context of the question itself; thus the assertion of equality here seems somewhat murky.
Despite these and other semantic difficulties, that
$1 + e^{-2j\pi /3} + e^{-4j \pi /3} = 0 \tag 3$
is easily seen; setting
$\omega = e^{-2j \pi/ 3} \tag 4$
for brevity, we have
$\omega^2 = e^{-4j \pi/ 3} \tag 5$
and
$\omega^3 = e^{-6j \pi / 3} = e^{-2j \pi} = 1; \tag 6$
thus
$(\omega - 1)(\omega^2 + \omega + 1) = \omega^3 - 1 = 0; \tag 7$
now since (4) implies
$\omega - 1 = e^{-2j \pi/ 3} - 1 \ne 0, \tag 8$
(7) yields
$1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0, \tag 9$
when we substitute (4) and (5) into this equation we are left with (3), the desired result. $OE\Delta$.

A: Assuming you meant orthogonality of characters of $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$
$$\sum_{x=0}^{N-1}\chi_k(x)\chi_{k'}(x)^{-1}=
\begin{cases}N & k = k'\\
0 & k \neq k'
\end{cases}$$
where $\chi_k(x)=\mathrm{e}^{2\pi\mathrm{i}k x/N}$.
Then consider $N=3$, $k=0$, $k'=1$.
To actually prove orthogonality, use the argument with cyclotomic polynomials in the other answer.


A popular dental treatment for those with discolored teeth is tooth whitening, which is also known as tooth bleaching. Although this dental treatment has become extremely popular in the past twenty years, tooth bleaching has actually been around since the 1800's. The development of home applied tooth whitening treatments in the late 1980's significantly changed the field of tooth whitening.
There are four categories in the tooth whitening market: dental office applied whiteners; dentist prescribed and dispensed whiteners for the patient to apply at home; over the counter (OTC) products for at home application; and other at home bleaching options.
Most tooth whitening products contain hydrogen peroxide, though some do contain carbamide peroxide, a substance that releases hydrogen peroxide when in it decomposes. The hydrogen peroxide concentrations in OTC products usually range from 3-10 percent, while those in-office products commonly are in the 15-38 percent range.
Research has shown there are no significant health risks associated with tooth bleaching materials, though hydrogen peroxide is an irritant and in high concentrations can be potentially corrosive to mucous membranes and can also cause tissue damage if used improperly. Two-thirds of users complain of tooth sensitivity, due most likely to the peroxide passing through the enamel and dentin to the pulp of the tooth.
Dental experts suggest before you whiten your teeth, have an examination by your dental professional. In a dental examination, the soft and hard tissues of the mouth as well as the neck and head are examined for any problems or signs of disease, and the patient's health and dental history will be discussed to assess any allergies or tooth sensitivity that may be an issue in the whitening process.


Is there some cosmic law of recurrence that decreed that as soon as Donald Trump had decided to go full-Nixon by firing the FBI director who was investigating his crimes, Henry Kissinger would pop up in the Oval Office?
The serious point is, this shows how Trump's impulsiveness (fortunately) gets in the way of his authoritarian showmanship. Presumably, a competent would-be strongman would have found a moment to subvert the rule of law for reasons that HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TREASONOUS CONTACTS WITH MOSCOW (which didn't happen anyway), when he wasn't scheduled to meet the next day with his handler the Russian ambassador and with Nixon's Watergate henchman National Security Advisor.
One of my favourite logic paradoxes (does everyone have favourite logic paradoxes?) goes by the name of The Unexpected Hanging. There are numerous versions, but a standard story is: A man has been condemned to death for some crime. The judge tells him, "Today is Monday. You are to be hanged at noon some day in the next week, but you will not know until the morning of the day of the hanging which day it will be." The man then reasons, it can't be Sunday, because if I haven't been hanged by Saturday noon, I'll know it must be Sunday, which would contradict the judge's order. Since it can't be Sunday, if we get to Friday afternoon, I'll know it must be Saturday. Again a contradiction. So it can't be Saturday. Working backward in this way, he is confident that he cannot be hanged at all. But then Thursday dawns, and he is hanged, and he never anticipated it.
One thing we can say in Donald Trump's favor, there was no bait and switch. They told us they would do all of this and more.
This plot from the Financial Times has been getting a lot of attention online. The data come from the World Values Survey (slightly incorrectly cited in the plot).
I don't know what to make of it exactly, except to say that it supports my gut belief that Germany, more than any other country, understood after the Second World War, what it takes to cultivate a spirit of freedom and democracy. It was a long struggle, and they didn't shy away from it. Education, the legal system, journalism: It's the famous German thoroughness, applied to the problem of creating free citizens. The British, the Americans, and the French, each in their own way, considered democracy to be their inevitable birthright, and so have allowed relevant institutional arrangements and, even more importantly, the democratic spirit, to decay.
Maybe the Americans are just being more honest — in a Trumpian anti-PC way. Taboos are important. One important lessons that the Nazis understood was: Before you can commit unspeakable horrors, you need to find a way to make them speakable.
