 content that occurred at the previous conference, this discussion moved quickly towards the political implications that may emerge as a result of exploring content.
Several participants in the room questioned whether the way we gave youth freedom to address real-world topics could actually create a political divide amongst them. One young woman brought up the issue of gay marriage, and how when her youth brought it up, a huge debate ensued. As a result she averted the issue and made the choice to not pursue it in the rehearsal room. She explained that she couldn’t have angry parents calling and chiding her for teaching “hot topics” to the youth. Her response was not what I had been expecting. My surprise continued when others in the room went on to express similar concerns. One young man offered that he would have opened up such a dialogue with youth, but would only include issues they face in school; another said that youth this age are only expressing what they hear at home from their parents—so we have to be really careful in dealing with what comes up.
The young people from the Junior Youth Theatre wanted to make a scene about gay marriage in a recent show. And while nearly all of our youth expressed being pro-gay marriage, when creating the scene they felt it important to include a perspective that wasn’t in favor of the issue. At CAT we encourage youth to explore different perspectives; we aim to create theatre that is not message-driven or preachy, but rather seeks to open up a dialogue about issues and the world we live in. When talking about this at AATE, a participant in the room mentioned how lucky I am to live in NYC where “everyone is so liberal”. The conversation that was taking place continued to catch me off-guard—how could one session yield such different responses?
In reflecting upon the session, I realized that while I may be able to lead similar sessions with different groups, what emerges in the room will inevitably be dissimilar. While I went in to the AATE session understanding this in theory, the reality of it emerging in practice reminds me that I always need to be “on my game” and continue to sharpen my listening skills. For not only will there be different responses from various groups, but within these responses there will almost always be difference of opinion. If I had thought more consciously about this in advance of AATE, I could have put my surprise aside, been more present and asked questions to interrogate what the participants were bringing up.
I understand it’s not a question of whether anyone is right or wrong when it comes to multiple perspectives. Rather, it’s about how I can facilitate a dialogue between participants where all of them can offer their opinion, listen to others, and think critically. In such a process, all—including myself as a facilitator—have the potential to learn and grow.
My experience during the conferences—and my work with the young people of the Junior Youth Theatre, who have radically different opinions—affirms that I can’t make assumptions about how this work will land or what will emerge. I have to be ready for anything. And while this thought can be kind of scary, it’s also what makes this work so exciting to me—that it is living and breathing, and thus always changing.I'm late here but if you read this I hope it helps you out a bit.



The problem with any and all subreddits is that it's filled with just about everyone. Certain subreddits warn against shills, but you should actually pay more attention against the clueless and the ignorant. 


Two things happened with GME. The first, the obvious: the short squeeze. DFV identified it, WSB caught wind and the rest is history. The second: *millions* of totally inexperienced, clueless redditors suddenly started investing. This is the problem.

WSB ultimately wasn't a problem because it was full of professionals. DFV himself has a financial degree, spent years working as a financial analyst and licensed broker. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't good. 

But when the GME craze hit, a lot of redditors kind of...failed to understand that? Some geuinely believe they are going to become rich holding a handful of GME shares. Some genuinely believe they are crashing the system, or sticking it to the man. Others believe they are uncovering some secret conspiracy.

The reality of the situation is GME related subs are becoming less and less about investing. The information shared isn't necessarily wrong per se. It just isn't really new or relevant to investors looking to make money. Not to say you can't still make money off GME today, but when GME started saying things like "money isn't real" "crash is coming, buy more GME" etc. it should become apparent the subs are becoming more and more investing-based conspiracy subreddits. edit: Reddit's next thing to circlejerk about.

So if you've made money off meme stocks, great. So have I. If you think there's still more to make, power to you. Just be careful, and don't believe everything you read online. It seems Redditors tend to forget that all too often, generally speaking.A doctor and three nurses were attacked with tear gas at a hospital in the central province of Nghe An on Friday morning, local news website Vietnamnet reported.
Nguyen Thi My Hoa, one of the victims, said the four were working in the Vinh Hospital of Transport's blood dialysis room when two men in black came, asking to meet Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Lan.
When Lan asked them to enter the room, the strange men sprayed them with tear gas, affecting ten patients as well, the nurse told Vietnamnet.
Local newspaper Tuoi Tre quoted an unnamed source as saying that Lan had received threatening text messages last week. The doctor then reported the threats to local police and took a leave until Friday.
All of the internal rings have been heat treaded and fine machined. If the shaft cannolt be heat treated, it is better to use the internal ring as a sleeve. If the needle bearing and internal ring is used at the same time, the play is a common one and they are interchangeable. Our company also produces the inernal ring with accurate play and produces various internal rings with metric and British systems.

As we pulled up there were many cold, wet and hopeful faces – and despite the dreadful weather nearly everyone had a smile for us!
We were giving each refugee a choice of a roll mat or a blanket together with a food pack. The distribution went well although many were desperately needing tents, sleeping bags and shoes.
Those who have tents now have very wet bedding. The downpour was fierce (the first of many to come sadly – its turning into an autumnal feel already) and there are new arrivals daily.
I followed a refugee with another volunteer into the wooded area where this refugee was living. Everything he had was saturated. A two person tent was housing five. What was also apparent is the HUGE need for tarpaulins to try and protect the flimsy tents from absorbing so much water.
I had been in Dunkirk only four weeks ago, when it was blistering hot and everyone was outside seeking shade – the contrast was not just apparent but devastating, and so much worse to come yet. The weather in Calais, especially the wind, is vicious at times.

In OpenRCT2, no guests will enter queues in the rain. Is this an intentional change? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sitesMoodscope's blog
Hypomania - my strategy. Thursday December 15, 2016
It's not easy for the people around me when I'm depressed, but it's not impossible for them to recognise it or to understand that it's an illness, that I can't help it, and that I don't mean to be that way.
I think it's harder for them to see the hypomania side as an illness. I seem so happy, so carefree, so selfish. I put my need to run around enjoying myself above everyone and everything else. I interrupt a heartfelt story to prattle on about utter nonsense. I ignore my family's wish for me spend time with them because I would rather be dancing. I crave adventure. I need excitement.
And that's the thing about it. It's a need. I don't just want to be off enjoying myself; I can't stop myself. I can see what it's doing to my family and friends but I just can't not, however hard I try. Somewhere in my head, I know that I am going to regret it, I know that I don't want to hurt those I love, but it's like watching a car crash. I can see what's going to happen but I have no power to stop it. And that's hard for those on the outside to understand.
Let's face it, it's hard for me to understand and I'm the one doing it. So, I get scared when I get high. Scared that this time I'm going to finally go too far and lose everyone. That when I come down, I'll have nothing left: no friends, no family, no money, no job, nothing
