Highlights goofus and gallant12/28/2023 ![]() “Fun with a purpose” has given way to dreadful woke-ification programming and virtue-signaling. You can’t tie your shoes yet or finish a word search, but hey, kids, time to accelerate your acceptance of toddler cross-dressing, transgender hormone therapy and two-men love scenes! “Reflecting” the “diversity” of families means in-your-face proselytizing to “celebrate pride,” which includes Highlights-endorsed books that expose preschoolers as young as 3 years old to “gender identity and transition.” The Highlights pride book list includes titles such as the transgender-promoting “I am Jazz” for 4-year-olds and “Prince and Knight,” in which the protagonists “find true love in a most unexpected place” so as to “accelerate LGBTQ inclusivity and acceptance.” Like every other modern institution masquerading as a champion of children, the editors of Highlights now believe their primary obligation is not to respect traditional parents, but to replace them. But all it took were hysterical radioactive accusations of “homophobia” for the magazine to fold. Initially, the editors resisted the call to capitulate because they believed “that parents know best” when to introduce such topics to their kids. ![]() In 2017, after being mau-mau-ed by left-wing alphabet activists on Facebook who wanted pro-gay propaganda included in the magazine’s special edition for children 2 years old and under, Highlights featured a cartoon with a same-sex male couple and two children packing their wagon for a family trip. Parents could trust that their authority would not be mocked or values undermined. Its side lessons on right and wrong were unobjectionable, (Hey, did you see Goofus refuse to hold the door open for his grandma? Rude!) Most importantly, the 44-page booklet of silliness was a protected space from partisan political pollution. Highlights was also founded as an advertising-free sanctuary from incessant commercialization by sugary cereal companies, Big Pharma, toymakers and other promotional predators. Depictions of traditional nuclear families were normal - and normality was celebrated, not shunned. In its early days, editors incorporated Bible stories without controversy or backlash. Highlights became an American tradition by respecting and inculcating tradition. Highlights delivered its billionth copy to a Texas schoolgirl in 2006 and marked its 75th anniversary last summer with publication reach in more than 40 countries. (Puh-lease, Mom, please don’t forget the googly-eyes.)įeeling nostalgic? You’re not alone. ![]() Raise your hand if you memorized the knock-knock jokes, giggled at “Goofus and Gallant” and begged your mom to buy pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks for the magazine’s craft projects. Who can forget spending hours hunting down the cleverly camouflaged objects in “Hidden Pictures”? (Dang it, where was that boomerang?) Did you sit outside in the summer sunshine like 7-year-old me, unplugged and care-free, poring over the nonsensical scenes in the colorful “What’s Wrong?” artwork puzzle on the back cover of your well-worn copy of the magazine?

Dice based skill-checks abound in both dialogue and actions, with some options disappearing after a single failed attempt. Much like any good serialised whodunnit, Disco Elysium interlocks and layers numerous mysteries and twists which ensure the narrative is engaging right up until the end credits.Īs a CRPG inspired adventure, Disco Elysium provides a framework of skills which influence not only the physical capabilities of the protagonist but also the way they perceive the world and interact with the numerous other characters that populate it. This mysterious protagonist awakens following a drunken rampage in their hotel room, partway through the investigation of a murder case in Martinaise, a run-down and decaying area in the city of Revachol, propped up by the local dockworkers union and its corrupt overseer Evrart Claire. Discussing the plot and characters of Disco Elysium in any detail is difficult due to its incredible implementation of the exceedingly cliché ‘amnesiac’ trope via the main character, whose name is not even revealed until hours into the proceedings. The result is a fantastic amalgamation of both low and high art, not shying away from mature themes outside of violence – in fact, the game eschews explicit acts of player violence with a complete lack of any combat system. That’s not to say Disco Elysium made me feel unintelligent – perhaps one of the best things about its writing is how much of it works to intrigue the player, encouraging exploration and discovery of unfamiliar topics rather than speaking down to the audience. ![]() Estonian art collective ZA/UM have exploded out of the gate with Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a title which oozes substance from every pore and captivated me, even as it made me feel very lacking in political intelligence. Regardless, there are not many occasions where I find myself examining the thematic elements of a video game to the same depth I would a piece of cinema, let alone an isometric CRPG styled adventure which is more akin to an interactive novel than the latest big budget, third-person action title. More likely, I’m just not playing the right kinds of games. One could argue that many titles aren’t overly interested in or even able to provide this kind of textual depth, hamstrung by the control relinquished to the player in service of interactivity when compared to other artistic mediums. Disco Elysium: The Final Cut – High and Dryĭespite my love for the medium, I find so few video games say anything that lingers with me a few hours past a playthrough.

Weird sisters macbeth12/27/2023 Apparently because the name "Urthr" is made from that form of the verbal stem which appeared in the plural of the past tense, this goddess came to be looked upon especially as the fate of the pase ( des Gewordenes). The loss of an initial w disguises the identity of the word with the name of the Anglo-Saxon goddess of fate, "Wyrd." Both words are to be connected with the Latin vertere, the German werden, the Icelandic vertha, and the Anglo-Saxon weorthan. In the Scandinavian mythology, as it was preserved in Iceland, "Urthr" was the eldest and the most prominent of the three Norns, or sister-Fates. But afterwards the common opinion was, that these women were either the weird sisters, that is (as ye would say) the goddesses of destinie, or else some nymphs or feiries indued with knowledge of prophesie by their necromanticall science, bicause euerie thing came to passe as they had spoken." ![]() This was reputed at the first but some vaine fantasticall illusion by Mackbeth and Banquho, insomuch that Banquho would call Mackbeth in iest, king of Scotland and Mackbeth againe would call him in sport likewise, the father of manie kings. Herewith the foresaid women vanished immediatlie out of their sight. "Then Banquho What manner of women (saith he) are you, that seeme so little fauourable vnto me, whereas to my fellow heere, besides high offices, ye assigne also the kingdome, appointing foorth nothing for me at all? Yes (saith the first of them) we promise greater benefits vnto thee, than vnto him, for he shall reigne in deed, but with an vnluckie end neither shall he leaue anie issue behind him to succeed in his place, where contrarilie thou in deed shalt not reigne at all, but of thee those shall be borne which shall gouern the Scottish kingdome by long order of continuall descent. But the third said All haile Makbeth that heereafter shalt be king of Scotland. "It fortuned as Makbeth and Banquho iournied towards Fores, where the king then laie, they went sporting by the waie togither without other companie, saue onelie themselues, passing thorough the woods and fields, when suddenlie in the middest of a laund, there met them three women in strange and wild apparell, resembling creatures of elder world, whome when they attentiuelie beheld, woondering much at the sight, the first of them spake and said All haile Makbeth, thane of Glammis (for he had latelie entered into that dignitie and office by the death of his father Sinell.) The second of them said Haile Makbeth thane of Cawder. The following passage from Holinshed will especially concern us: The evidence of this work is decisive in favor of changing weyward and weyard to weird. ![]() Shakespeare's source for the story of Macbeth was Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland, published in 1577. In the second of these lines we have a personification, but the conception is of more than one Wyrd.Ī passage in the Scotch translation of Vergil's Æneid, written about 1513 by Gawin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkeld, translates "Parcæ" (Book III. Wyrd is "the lord of every man." The word is also a common noun each man has his own wyrd, or destiny. In Anglo-Saxon literature, "Wyrd" is the name of the personified goddess of fate. It was Theobold, the dearest foe of Pope, who saw that Shakespeare must have written weird, and that this rare word had been changed because of "the ignorance of the copyists." Modern editors accept the suggestion of Theobold but I believe that the full force of the word weird is often unapprehended, even by special students of the play. In that edition the word is weyword in the first three passages in the play, and weyard in the last three. Stranger still, _weird_ does not appear at all in the only authoritative text of the tragedy, that of the First Folio. ![]() 136), and once in the phrase "the weird women" (III. The word occurs six times in this play as usually printed: five times in the expression "weird sisters" (I. Strangely enough the word weird has come into modern English entirely from its use in Macbeth. New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1904. The following essay is reprinted from The Views About Hamlet and Other Essays. Quaqua legal12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() He believes nothing works better in a democracy than the rule of law. Michel Yoboue, Executive Director, Group for Research and Advocacy on Extractive Industries (GRPIE), of Côte d’Ivoire could not hold back his enthusiasm about the achievement of forming a body that would fight to amplify the plight of the neglected and abused people in the region. The parties agreed in a communique to use the findings to design advocacy campaigns to ensure that land and natural resource laws and regulations are people friendly and that governments and corporations in the region will be held accountable to their obligations to protect, respect and fulfill rights. The idea was conceived in September 2012 at a meeting of civil society activists in Monrovia, organized by Green Advocates International (Liberia), to research and publish natural resource rights and governance profiles of countries in the Mano River Union (MRU) basin. The others are Abu Brima, Executive Director of the Network Movement for Justice and Development (NMJD), Sierra Leone Michel Yoboue, Executive Director, Group for Research and Advocacy on Extractive Industries (GRPIE), Côte d’Ivoire and Kabinet Sesay, then Executive Director, Center for Commerce and International Development (CECIDE), Guinea. It is time to ACT”.Īlfred Brownell is one of four activists behind the formation of the MRU CSO Platform. He’s all too aware that “communities in concession areas experience a range of negative impacts from the destruction of farmlands, to pollution of water sources, desecration of sacred sites and burial grounds and inadequate compensation for uprooting them from their livelihoods.” He thinks by bringing vulnerable communities together in the Mano River Union Civil Society Natural Resources Rights and Governance Platform (MRU-CSO Platform), “there would be collective actions in brining much needed justice, accountability and relief to the suffering masses across the region who are most affected by multinational corporations – grabbing their land and destroying their habitats with impunity.” Adding, “Governments in West Africa cannot and must not outsource their responsibilities to protect the rights of their citizens and the environment. is the Founder and Lead Campaigner for Green Advocates International, the 2019 Goldman Prize Winner. Saa Pascal Tenguiano, Guinean lawyer and Executive Director for the Center for Commerce and International Development (CECIDE) said “The scale and impact of the environmental degradation and abuses perpetrated by these companies, coupled with their failure to honor social corporate responsibilities to affected communities, make it hard to resist the feeling that, like their host and home governments, these concessionaires must be made to account.”Īttorney Alfred Lahai Brownell, Sr. Poor people suffer forceful displacement, denial of their livelihoods and destruction of their properties. Various accounts show how foreign companies, with the backing of their host and home governments, violate local community rights with impunity. Yes, governments in the region need investments to boost their economies and create jobs for their struggling people, so it goes without saying that the people had to survive at the mercy of their governments’ pursuit of foreign investments regardless of the consequences for human rights and the environment. But we want these multinational companies to be accountable while tapping out our natural resources…,” said the Board Chairman of the Sierra Leone Network on the Right to Food (SiLNoRF), Raymond Senesie. “Being that it is the government that is inviting them (the multinational companies), they are sure of receiving protection. ![]() There is a maxim that ‘one who aids and abets a theft is equally a thief.’ No wonder trillions are siphoned off the region in illicit flows from poor destitute communities to rich capitals in the West, joined recently by China, India and others. How unfortunate that ‘resource curse’ ascription remains an ignominious tag on the region.īad governance and corruption easily come to mind when lamenting the woes of the people, but one should consider for a moment how multinational corporations, from countries that profess to champion rights, accountability, anti-corruption and justice, have been running to the region exploiting natural resources with no human face in the name of foreign direct investment. There is paradox in the fact that the people and countries in the region are among some of the poorest and least developed in the world. This rich and sprawling natural endowment has always been an attraction and destination of some of the biggest corporations from around the world. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
