once-in-a-generation opportunity to leverage this massive private investment to revitalize and transform Santa Fe Yards into a new hub of thriving community activity and for building connections with our community,” said Denver NWSL controlling owner Rob Cohen “This project will reconnect neighborhoods and boost the local economy during and after the construction process and cultural benefits that extend far beyond the stadium’s walls and our community with a state-of-the-art stadium that will provide us a distinct home-field advantage and will serve as the most inclusive environment in all of Colorado.”  was chosen to lead the stadium design and related design and engineering consultants Populous is known for its dynamic design approach which synthesizes architectural expertise and understanding of fan experience to deliver stadiums authentic to their cities and primed for economic impact “Populous is honored to be part of a transformational project that amplifies the experience for players and the Denver community,” said Sherri Privitera director of women’s professional sports at design firm Populous “We are inspired by the energy of the community and its love for the game and we look forward to bringing a shared vision to life.”   The 14-acre redevelopment at Santa Fe Yards will feature a purpose-built professional women’s soccer stadium and future mixed-use development in the heart of Denver The stadium will be constructed with the ability to expand in the future to host larger crowds and marquee events Denver NWSL will transform a site that has for decades sat dormant and undeveloped to create a world-class sports and entertainment district featuring pedestrian and bike connections in addition to proximity to public transportation This design reimagines the relationship between elite athleticism and community recreation suggesting that inspiration flows in both directions This integration of professional athletics with publicly accessible parks and everyday open space recreation spaces may reshape how young people envision athletic achievement—when excellence is visibly embedded in the community The stadium complex stands as a physical manifestation of the idea that women’s sports deserve not just equal facilities but equal integration into our community identity “It’s only fitting that the hottest ticket in town will be making its home on Broadway,” said Mayor Mike Johnston “This project at Santa Fe Yards will transform an underutilized eyesore into a recreational and economic hub where memories are made The multi-purpose stadium, park, and community district will be the anchor and catalyst for the redevelopment of the site as a transit-oriented development—one that is intended to be walkable and encourages the use of public transportation Denver NWSL will unveil its plans for a temporary stadium and purpose-built performance center at a later date “This announcement is a game-changer for the NWSL and a bold statement about where women’s sports are headed Santa Fe Yards will set a new standard for what professional athletes deserve—a purpose-built stadium and entertainment district that reflects the passion of this city and our league’s continued growth,” said NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman “Denver is helping to shape the future of women’s soccer and we can’t wait to see the impact this world-class venue will have on players CAA ICON has been providing stadium advisory services for the new stadium deal and is now extending its engagement to provide full project management services as the stadium project is set to begin more formal stages of design and construction which provides a full range of project management and strategic consulting services and construction of the stadium

closing up shop after 54 years to retire and pursue other ventures but it was a decision that didn’t come easy The store was opened in 1972 by his mother who got the idea after befriending a neighbor in England that grew and ate organic foods and generally lived “a whole different lifestyle,” Braatan said The family had spent a year in the United Kingdom because Braaten’s father his father took a professorship at the Lutheran School of Theology The family mortgaged their home so that his mother could open the shop at 1457 E just across the street from its current location At a time when women-owned businesses were few LaVonne Braaten was a “pioneer” with her shop adding that health food stores were still relatively new According to CBS, Chicago’s first health food store was opened Chatham in 1958 “People didn’t know what wheat germ and wheat bran was “I grew up with alfalfa sprouts and Häagen-Dazs ice cream as a treat and these kind of things – that was back when Häagen-Dazs just used honey and no corn syrup.” LaVonne Braaten ran the store for a couple decades He moved the shop to its current storefront at 1512 E Braaten added a vegetarian cafe to the shop customers have come to the store for guidance home remedies and alternative treatments for various ailments the store has held classes and hosted nutritionists and other experts “It carries down to teaching people how to stay healthy or at least provided an environment to do that But as large chains like Whole Foods and e-commerce platforms like Amazon capture more of the market share, small grocers like Bonne Sante have struggled to keep pace over the last few decades. Since the 1980s, according to research from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance independent grocers have declined rapidly across the country Braaten speculated that what’s made the difference for Bonne Sante is its focus on education and community “We also are an environment to bring people together,” he said “It was unbelievable how many friends people would see … it was a place where like-minded people could gather.” Braaten said he’s retiring to pursue other ventures and is closing shop because none of his children expressed interest in taking over the business but unfortunately none of my kids … they’re all out of state and they weren’t interested in pursuing that career,” he said “The store had to come to an end at some point.” Braaten said he had a few people look into purchasing the store A proprietor needs an extensive knowledge of the healthy food lifestyle and rent for the storefront – which Braaten still owns – will also be expensive “I’ve been toiling with this for five years knowing I wanted to do other things with my life.”  Braaten said he plans to focus on his real estate ventures which he has been doing for the past 30 years a sport he got a full-ride athletic scholarship for in college He will also continue to own the downtown shop Chicago Health Foods (He also owned Kramer’s Health Foods for several decades another downtown health food store that his mother began.)  Braaten said the store will hold a liquidation sale and the keys will be turned over to the fast food franchise by the end of February Braaten said he’d heard Chick-fil-A had been planning to enter the neighborhood for a while but the deal was ultimately worked out by a brokerage company “Everything's turned into big chains,” he said “There's not many independent (shops) around anymore that could pay the kind of rent that Hyde Park demands." said the fast food eatery will open sometime this year pending construction "We look forward to joining the Hyde Park community and serving all of our Guests delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality and care," the statement reads "The Chick-fil-A business is built to add positive impact to the communities we serve."    According to Block Club Chicago, which first reported the news, the shop’s current operator, Eunice Sanders, intends to open a similar health food store in Bronzeville. Braaten said he did not know many details about this venture, and Sanders could not be reached for comment as of press time. Looking back on five decades in business, Braaten thanked several of the shop’s longtime employees. Among those he noted were Ron Brigel, who began working at Bonne Sante at 18-years-old, eventually manning its juice bar. Brigel later opened his own business sourcing loose herbs, supplying more than six health food stores around Chicago, Braaten said. He also noted Don Hannah, who was manager for 23 years. “It’s been a great run to carve out a niche like this,” Braaten said. “And it’s really thanks to the customers more than anything, who have been very loyal, especially at a time when you can get our products, I’m sure, cheaper online.” “It’s unfortunate to not be able to keep going, but such is life, things must come to an end,” he added.

Damian Dovarganes/AP Photo He was best known as the leader of the Contortions which could be said to have been punk rock’s punk rock It was somewhere around 1978 that the face of punk rock in lower Manhattan began to change never had a punk moment; the important bands that played at CBGB and Max’s all predated the Sex Pistols and their aesthetic of gleeful outrage and Talking Heads each contributed to that aesthetic but were not of it or they drew upon the garage bands of the mid-1960s or they wore tattered clothing and hacked-off haircuts—but they weren’t angry and didn’t display any particular attitude toward society and novelty acts—you’ve never heard of any of them Once the top bands started getting record contracts and playing larger venues the downtown scene listed toward stagnation I saw the shift that occurred around 1978 from a privileged position: as an employee of the Strand Bookstore a popular place of employment for downtown scenesters and trainee bohemians with a literary bent (the equivalent for visual artists was Pearl Paint on Canal Street) As the cheap and underpopulated Lower East Side began filling up with people from around the country who were drawn by the mystique of CBGB and Max’s where we’d assemble to take in one another’s performances of music we saw these new currents taking shape among our colleagues a performance artist who worked in the typing pool and had one of the new cheap synthesizers started a band called DNA with Arto Lindsay who sang in a strangulated voice and played abstract-expressionist guitar who was developing an elliptical style of drumming all her own; the off-kilter chorus-free songs alluded to rock and roll but pointed toward terra incognita who worked in shipping and had like so many others come from northeast Ohio played drum—with one stick—behind a feral teenager from Buffalo who called herself Lydia Lunch was snarling and primal and more abrasive than anything punk rock had so far managed a guitarist who purchased review copies in a corner of the basement a shelf-stocker recently arrived from Cleveland both joined an outfit called the Contortions and drummer Donnie Christensen were all seasoned players who had played with ex-Pere Ubu legend Peter Laughner back in Cleveland approached their instruments as if they’d found them in the woods dissonant textures that sliced against the rhythm section which played crisp but ragged-edged rhythm and blues a sax player from Milwaukee who now called himself James Chance seemed to model himself on some combination of James Brown and Albert Ayler screaming crescendos and disputatious soliloquies on his alto He was also white as marzipan and weighed maybe a hundred pounds soaking wet The sight gag precluded any imputation of blackface In 1979 Lester Bangs published a famous piece “The White Noise Supremacists,” in the Village Voice He quotes an appreciation of the Ramones in a punk fanzine: “This is the celebration of everything American—everything teenaged and wonderful and white and urban.” The CBGB bands did not unlike the mainstream rock bands of their day nor did they derive inspiration from the Black music of their own time Disco Demolition Night was staged at Comiskey Park in Chicago and the racist and homophobic sentiment was widely shared among the New York punks who used to “plead for [Robert Quine] to play him his Charlie Parker records James dismisses the magical qualities of black music as ‘just a bunch of [n-word] bullshit.’ Why and ripping off Albert Ayler wasn’t enough Chance was a serious sax player and student of jazz who upon arriving in New York had spent significant time in the jazz lofts—places like Ali’s Alley Audience members sat on couches or on the floor and if you wanted a beer you’d go to the kitchen where a wife or a child would sell you one out of the fridge The shows were open-ended jams where anything could happen and featured the most cutting-edge players of the time from Ornette Coleman’s constellation of musicians to the Chicago-based Association for the Advancement of Creative Music Chance also briefly studied with the great tenor saxophonist David Murray himself just starting out in New York; his first record an extreme player of transcendent noise who also tried repeatedly (and unsuccessfully) to marry his sound to more accessible popular music Finally there was punk rock you could dance to Chance’s sax playing was steeped in the free-jazz tradition, and he had the chops to pull it off. His stage act was derived from James Brown, whose career was peaking right around then. Sight gag or not, Chance was a riveting dancer, who threw himself into the moves with an impressive balance of abandon and discipline. A 1981 clip available on YouTube while a Black woman in a pink cocktail dress picks him up and steadies him That may be his version of James Brown’s cape routine and Danny Ray would cover him with a cape—and a few beats later Brown would tear off the cape and rush back to the mic His singing was about good enough for punk rock His first New York band was a jazz-rock outfit called Flaming Youth after which he briefly played in the first incarnation of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks He started the Contortions in 1977 with a fleeting lineup of no wave primitives before cannily signing an experienced rhythm section The music was startling—nobody downtown was playing like that—and an immediate sensation with those of us who were getting tired of rock and roll and spent as much time in discos as we did in punk clubs But what made the band famous was Chance’s violations of the proscenium While dancing he would wheel out into the audience and slap or kiss people but then came a notable gig at the Artists Space gallery and people started coming to the shows expecting violence I witnessed various brawls that year: at the X Magazine benefit at the La MaMa Theater Annex; at a chaotic show with the British anarchists Crass at C.U.A.N.D.O.; and one time at Max’s I saw Chance kick an ashtray at Brian Eno from atop the first row of tables Eno had been present at the Artists Space festival and he had recorded his four favorite outfits (the Contortions and Mars) and given them four cuts apiece on a compilation called No New York Despite Eno’s fame as a sculptor of recorded sound he did little more than turn on the tape machine while the band played live in the studio representing the Contortions’ dynamic more faithfully than the rather bloodless studio album Buy the following year a paradoxically striking figure—he was small and could look sixteen years old half of a striking couple with his Taiwanese-born girlfriend meticulously constructed dragon-lady persona They appeared at all the important occasions personality conflicts that had always vexed the band finally erupted and started a band called James White and the Blacks That band was entirely made up of crack professionals not collaborators; the discrepancy shows on their records which lack the warmth and singular wildness of the Contortions I remember a gig at a fancy midtown disco called New York New York where Chance’s tux fit the decor all too well and the music sounded like mere disco his bleating sax reduced to a novelty prop brother of Lester Bowie of the Art Ensemble of Chicago broke off to start his own “punk jazz” band That led to an efflorescence of such bands made up of avant-garde jazz musicians playing punk-inflected dance music: Oliver Lake’s Jump Up and more ephemeral outfits led by Olu Dara and Charles “Bobo” Shaw—not to mention their inverse erstwhile punks who played sophisticated retro jazz In 1982 Chance launched a second version of the Blacks with his brother playing around David’s turf in the midwest After that came a string of names—James White’s Flaming Demonics James Chance and les Contortions—few of which seem to have made it to the recording studio The last time I saw him was at a testimonial occasion at the Kitchen ten or twelve years ago when Nan Goldin and Lydia Lunch were being honored for their services to the avant garde In a room full of smug young art-world professionals knocking over mic stands and insulting the audience exuding an aura of Mob-run New Jersey cocktail lounges circa 1960 He might have been a guest on a Jerry Lewis Telethon I can only hope that some savvy producer with full access to the scattered recordings he made will eventually put together a compilation emphasizing his musical gifts Chance was not well served by recordings in general and the anecdotes surrounding him tend to focus on his more extreme behavior but his innovations were contingent on the state of downtown culture at specific times Hearing about him in years to come may be like hearing of the glories of vaudeville performers whose acts were never captured on film Chance triggered his own downfall by wanting to be too famous too fast The implicit racial politics of his career have aged badly in particular; young people today might find him guilty of cultural appropriation while those of tomorrow might simply be baffled You will just have to take my word for it that in his own time he was indelible an opener of doors for others (if not always wittingly) and above all the heroic figure of someone ill-favored by nature whose rampaging id pushed him to the front of the stage In a media environment that tolerates tail-chasing The Baffler is a rare publication willing to shake the pundit class free of their own worst impulses But running a charitable organization of this magnitude requires serious dough and subscriptions only cover a fraction of our costs we rely on the good will of generous readers like you So if you like the article you just read—or hate it so you can ridicule us online for years to come—please consider making a one-time donation to The Baffler Bucket Hat / $30 Supermarket giant Lidl has fallen in love with the Welsh language if its promotion for St Dwynwen’s Day / Dydd Santes Dwynwen is any measure Users on social media have praised the retailer for getting behind Wales’ answer to Valentine’s Day, with a promotion tied in to the Welsh patron saint of love and romance From this week and running until St Dwynwen’s Day on January 25 the retailer has been emblazoning its stores in Wales with signs for the day of Welsh romance Many have complimented the retailer on embracing the Welsh language and culture while the more cynical have suggested it’s just a calculating attempt to sell chocolates Whatever your stance we think it’s great to see the language and Welsh culture appearing in Welsh stores And let us not forget that legendary Welsh rappers Goldie Lookin’ Chain recently wrote a hilarious ode to Lidl’s equally iconic middle aisle It seems in recent times as if Wales has fallen in love with the notion of St Dwynwen’s Day / Dydd Santes Dwynwen February the 14th may be Valentine’s Day elsewhere but here in Wales there is another date where we celebrate all things love and romance The 25th of January is the feast day of St Dwynwen It is a special celebration that continues to increase in popularity year on year – but who was St Dwynwen Nowadays people recognise St Dwynwen as the Welsh patron saint of lovers – despite being quite unlucky in love herself ironically St Dwynwen was a Welsh princess who lived in the fifth century in the area of Wales we now know as the Brecon Beacons She was said to be the prettiest daughter of the semi-legendary King Brychan Brycheiniog’s 24 children – or 36 children depending on which historical sources you turn to Brychan’s family formed one of the three saintly tribes of Wales and as time passed it is likely more and more people tried to claim descent from the holy king – hence the confusion over the number of children Dwynwen’s legend continues to be befuddling with there being several different versions of what happens next The princess met a handsome Welsh prince named Maelon Daffodrill The most common version of the story says Dwynwen fell madly in love with Maelon but Brychan refused her to marry him because she was already promised to someone else there are other versions of the story where Maelon rejects Dwynwen and yet another version depicts the princess rejecting wanted advances from the prince Dwynwen prayed to God to make her forget her prince she was visited by an angel carrying a potion that turned Maelon into a block of ice God then also granted the princess three wishes that Maelon be thawed and released from the ice; secondly that God look after all lovers; and thirdly Dwynwen became a nun and retired to the beautiful Llanddwyn Island It is thought this is where she was also buried after dying c especially for lovers seeking to pray to St Dwynwen The star attraction was a holy well complete with sacred eels or fish that could foretell whether or not a romantic couple would be happy While the legend of St Dwynwen is increasingly popular and well-known Pilgrims may have visited Llanddwyn for many years in order to appeal to the patron saint of Welsh lovers but the story of Dwynwen we recognise now may have much more modern origins One of the earliest written references to St Dwynwen dates from the mid 14th Century and can be found in the work of the famous medieval Welsh poet and notorious womaniser Dafydd ap Gwilym In Galw ar Ddwynwen (or Beseeching St Dwynwen) Dafydd appeals to the saint to act as his llatai – or messenger and ‘Mediatrix of our love’ – between him and his married lover Morfydd In the poem Dafydd goes on to theorise that Dwynwen would be the last person his lover’s jealous husband would suspect as acting as go-between We continue to find evidence of St Dwynwen in the early modern period including calendars from the fifteenth century which note 25th January as her saint’s day and there is also a reference to her in a Latin Mass from the early sixteenth century the first time we see Dwynwen’s story as we recognise it today is in the works of the notorious Welsh Antiquarian Iolo Morgannwg (1747 – 1826) as it is now widely recognised that Iolo forged several of the supposedly Welsh ‘medieval manuscripts’ in his possession He also fabricated ‘traditions’ like the Gorsedd ceremony which are still with us today it is likely that the legend of St Dwynwen as we now know it is nothing more than the product of Iolo Morgannwg’s imagination the legend of St Dwynwen gradually took hold in the Welsh psyche and became increasing popular over time but it wasn’t until the 1960s that the first St Dwynwen’s Day cards hit the shelves in shops such cards are commonplace and it is not unusual to see romantic couples in Wales marking the 25th of January in a special way why not celebrate the Welsh princess who was unlucky in love and send a card to a secret crush or your dearest loved one Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value" ‘Many have complimented the retailer on embracing the Welsh language and culture while the more cynical have suggested it’s just a calculating attempt to sell chocolates I rather like Lidl – not so much because of the Welsh produce that they sell whereas Aldi’s pretty much like any other in the UK (except for cheaper prices!)

dry land comes the new film Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie on Netflix Taking place in the real world and in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe this film has a fun team-up.When Bikini Bottom is scooped out of the ocean Sandy and SpongeBob head to Sandy's home state of Texas and enlist her family to help save Patrick we stay animated as a new look to the dark knight arrives with Batman: Caped Crusader Starring the voices of Hamish Linklater as Batman and Minnie Driver in a new twist as The Penguin Fans of the original Batman: The Animated Series will see similarities we look to Apple TV+ and the new series Women in Blue.Based in the early 70s and the true story of Mexico's first female police force four women defy ultraconservative norms and join Mexico's first female police force only to discover that it's a publicity stunt to distract the media from a serial killer; they make a pact to bring the killer to justice it’s the perfect time to reflect on love — its quiet moments Geiriau o Gariad which I recently adapted into Welsh and is published by Gwasg Rily brings these themes to life in a way that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in Welsh culture Originally written and illustrated by Jake Biggin as Words of Love the book captures poetic reflections on love the Welsh adaptation is particularly significant — his ties to Wales run deep having spent much of his childhood visiting Cardiff and the Gower Peninsula where he drew inspiration from the landscapes around him Biggin recalls childhood visits to family friends near Swansea garlic-scented woodlands of Gower became an intrinsic part of his creative identity I took reference photographs on our walks in the Gower countryside,” he says the front cover directly references a moment I caught of my own daughter sitting on a tree across a stream.” The book’s themes were also shaped by conversations with his children particularly during lockdown walks when they would share thoughts and worries about the world These organic exchanges inspired the gentle narrative of Words of Love and now Geiriau o Gariad brings those reflections into the Welsh language ensuring that more readers can connect with its message seeing his work translated into Welsh is both an honour and a recognition of the importance of linguistic diversity “This is the second book of mine to be translated into Welsh “Twelve languages die every year around the world and publishing books bilingually is vital for ensuring the health of languages With personal ties to Wales and a multilingual household — his children speak Catalan — he understands firsthand the significance of maintaining linguistic heritage Geiriau o Gariad offers something truly special It isn’t just about love in the conventional sense — it’s about connection and those moments of quiet reflection that say more than words ever could A moment where the characters simply stand together With Geiriau o Gariad now available from all good bookshops what better way to honour that than with a book that speaks straight to the heart LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — Blowing its way into theaters comes a remake of sorts with

Die with devious and deadly characters surviving Rome in their own way In this story,Rome is very much in the center of the Roman Empire and as the wealthiest city in the world and increasingly violent -- is kept in line with free food This tale delves into the world of the games The races at Circus Maximus are controlled by four Patrician-owned corporations Shares in the four factions are the most valuable things in Rome As the taste in entertainment of the populace becomes more jaded and bloodthirsty the Colosseum is built specifically for gladiatorial combat as well as the gladiatorial and animal combats as is the underbelly and its flourishing betting business thousands of people work and live -- among them many who will die for the games we look to Netflix and The

local Deanna what she wanted to say to her hometown so we could cheer them on With the recent developments involving the character of Lulu and General Hospital‘s not-so-secret plans to bring the character back in the form of a recast it seems like the relative domestic calm Sam and Dante have been enjoying may soon experience some turbulence but has become a huge fan of the “Sante” pairing “It’s revealed different sides of him and shown new things about Dante we’ve discussed how it actually shows different sides of both of them Dante and Lulu’s relationship kicked off not long after Zamprogna first joined the show back in 2009 and the character — who was played first by Julie Marie Berman and then by Emme Rylan — was the actor’s only significant love interest for his first long stretch on the show the actor had little experience playing a Dante who wasn’t intermingled with Lulu when she was rendered comatose back in 2020 “It was interesting to see who he was without her but then he spent so much time with her and it started to feel like he was losing his own identity a little bit.” It was refreshing for the actor when he started working more closely with Monaco there wasn’t this dependency on each other which it felt like Dante and Lulu constantly ended up having in the end,” Zamprogna notes “Being back on the show [since his return in 2020] it brings up different things in the characters and we’ve brought out different things in each other [as actors] And Kelly is fiery and fierce and always fun to work with.” Zamprogna has gotten to explore what he calls “the blended family aspect” of Sam and Dante’s coupling as both characters have children from previous relationships (Rocco with Lulu for him; Danny with Jason and Scout with Drew for her) “The times where we get to play that blended family element has been so interesting; it’s interesting playing a dad to a kid who isn’t your son Soap Opera Digest has affiliate partnerships so we may receive

will be joined by artist and activist Richard Eagan a longtime Kingston resident and retired Bard professor built a career excavating overlooked or ignored territory Her first book Low Life explored the seedier history of New York City in rich detail and with such immediacy that it became an instant classic Her interest in pulling the past into the present may be rooted in childhood which she spent traveling between Belgium and the U.S "It's led to a permanent confusion between time and space There was a 30-year gap in culture and technology between Europe and America at that time," she said "It was like going back and forth in time I always had the reassurance of knowing that the past was there on the other side of the ocean."

Pauley The upcoming League of Legends Patch 14.19 is expected to bring significant changes to the game K’Sante and Tristana will undergo major adjustments and there may also be tweaks to Lethal Tempo combined with modifications to items and runes will likely impact the overall gameplay as we approach the end of the ranked season Keep an eye out for the official patch notes for the full details The release of League of Legends Patch 14.19 will bring sweeping changes that will affect item stats and overall gameplay dynamics as we approach the 2025 pre-season This update indicates significant adjustments aimed at enhancing player experience and game balance League of Legends Patch 14.19 delivers substantial adjustments focusing on gameplay dynamics Players will find themselves adapting to new strategies that encourage more thoughtful play and cooperation in their matches These changes set the stage for invigorating gameplay in the League universe as we look forward to the pre-season of 2025 Patch 14.19 is scheduled for release on September 25 The developers are expected to release patch previews by September 18th Riot Games has already announced that the championship will run on patch 14.18 so this update will not be used at the World Championship 2024 particularly leading into the 2025 pre-season Riot Games has detailed that nearly all Legendary items will undergo nerfs The intention behind these changes is to decrease the power of items that facilitate snowballing while allowing champions’ abilities to shine more prominently “Players have become exceptionally proficient at farming over recent seasons,” “This proficiency has resulted in an accelerated pace that has outstripped our design intentions.” the team has chosen to make gold less potent to redefine the dynamics of gameplay at all levels A standout feature in patch 14.19 is the introduction of item queuing This allows players to efficiently manage their gold and purchases as they’ll be able to mark items in their queue helping them visualize how much gold they need to reach their next purchase a “One Click Purchase” option will enable players to buy as many components toward a major item as their current gold permits Another interesting change is the adjustment to mobile pings Players will now receive notifications for various actions leading to improved communication and teamwork The new ‘My Bad’ ping is also introduced for players to acknowledge their mistakes to teammates this patch brings a substantial overhaul to K’Sante making him a more versatile and balanced champion: Another champion receiving attention is Quinn who will get visual updates to align her ability effects with the current art standards Tristana also experiences a shift in her base statistics such as adjustments to HP regeneration and attack speed These shifts exemplify Riot’s formation of a balanced meta that can cater to numerous champions Arguably one of the most notable adjustments in this patch is the reintroduction of the Lethal Tempo keystone The updated version of Lethal Tempo will facilitate bonus damage upon reaching max stacks rather than surpassing the attack speed cap champions will receive a percentage of increased attack speed peaking at a maximum increment with bonus damage tied to this scaling the adjustments are designed to ensure that champions can maintain their identity without excessive reliance on a singular keystone that disrupts the gameplay balance “The return of Lethal Tempo aims to preserve the strengths of champions while carefully managing their impacts on the game,” “Our focus remains on creating a fair environment for all champions.” adjustments to runes like Biscuit Delivery and Presence of Mind will offer new opportunities for strategic gameplay impacting health restoration and mana management With nearly all Legendary items witnessing reductions in stats players can expect a shift in itemization paths for various champions These adjustments reflect Riot’s aim to ensure that players explore various item options without dominating the game purely through item power where you can explore a wide range of articles and news

Aberystwyth later this month The Santes Dwynwen Parade will take place on Saturday, 25 January from 2pm, with locals encouraged to attend and wear their brightest colours. The parade will then head to Ceredigion Museum for a Twmpath. This is the third year the parade has been held and organisers hope it will prove as successful. This year, some of Gŵyl Cariad Aber’s artists have been working with the town council on creative packs for local schools. Inspired by the Wish Fish from Dwynwen’s story, these packs give kids a chance to make something special to carry with them in the parade.

Editing and writing walk together problems of logic; the second to the music Gustave Flaubert formulated a credo for prose writers: When I come upon a bad assonance or a repetition in my sentences I’m sure I’m floundering in the false One of them is the concept of the mot juste There are really very few true synonyms; words are highly individuated “Hate” and “scorn” and “despise” and “execrate” all mean roughly the same thing but not exactly; only one of them will work in any specific context The second idea is harder to explain or defend than it is to practice: that the musicality of a phrase is a key to its truth why should there be a relation between the right word and the musical word Or why should the greatest compression of thought always result in a line of poetry Writing requires the use of the whole mind sequential half and its savage twin: unconscious You can write something perfectly decent with only the use of the first but without the second you will never achieve transcendence Nineteen Reservoirs began with a desire to write about the place where I’ve lived for the last 22 years found its narrative structure in the construction of the New York City reservoirs discovered its moral pivot in the competing claims of city and country was populated by newspaper accounts–since the lockdown prevented my use of archives and museums All of these were the result of chance operations I could not have known the result beforehand Nineteen Reservoirs: On Their Creation and the Promise of Water for New York City by Lucy Sante Created by Grove Atlantic and Electric Literature Masthead About Sign Up For Our Newsletters How to Pitch Lit Hub Privacy Policy Support Lit Hub - Become A Member Lit Hub has always brought you the best of the book world for free—no paywall you'll keep independent book coverage alive and thriving while living in New York in the 1970s and ’80s she had been close to the photographer Nan Goldin a celebrated portraitist of the downtown gay and transgender communities Sante describes herself as first and foremost a “bohemian,” a type of person of which there are “vanishingly few” these days and the people who admired them were all around her during her New York years—yet in the midst of what was surely the most accepting environment available at that time Apart from Sante’s age when she announced her gender identity there isn’t anything particularly unusual or new to her transition story from an app that feminizes selfies and showed her the woman’s face she had so long denied to the online communities where she sought advice and support in coming out She describes the physical effects of taking hormones the process of constructing a whole new wardrobe the stress her transition imposed on her long-term relationship What makes I Heard Her Call My Name extraordinary aren’t the events Sante describes but the way she describes them and furthermore it is fearlessly honest—a quality that often seems almost as rare as Sante-style bohemians “and even more to the kind of shibboleth rhetoric (and its principal by-product a defensive posture) that pervades much—though by no means all—of trans writing.” This pertains to the concepts in I Heard Her Call My Name as well as to the book’s language one part describing her conventional biography—all of it lived in the persona of Luc—and the other recounting her progress since her “egg cracked” (one of the instances in which she does use trans lingo—presumably not of the shibboleth variety) “Luc’s” history is interesting in its own right: The Belgian-born only child of indecisive Belgian immigrants Sante spent childhood pinging back and forth between New Jersey and Belgium the country her mother loved and forever yearned for Luc was a foreigner who felt truly at home only in New York City It was a run-down but still thrilling city where misfits albeit in “hovels.” “Aside from the inevitable stereo,” Sante writes of these apartments “they contained little in the way of current consumer goods; almost everything we owned was secondhand and likely scavenged.” Still Luc was a punk aesthete whose friends included Jean-Michel Basquiat certainly of an enviably authentic late 20th-century coolness Despite being surrounded by every variety of rebel and free spirit Lucy hid behind the facade of Luc—a male persona she describes as “saturnine possibly ‘quirky,’ coming very close to asexual despite my best intentions.” She was and is deeply and comprehensively attracted to women toward whom she has felt an almost abject reverence (She often writes of not “deserving” to be one.) “I had tried so hard for so long to be a heterosexual man,” she writes “that the need to behave like one took me over like a puppeteer whenever I found myself in the presence of a woman I found attractive.” But maleness itself its sense of mission and conquest,” reminded her only of “the aspects of myself I most despised.” “She often called me by feminine diminutives,” Sante writes of those early years “I’m certain my mother wanted me to be a girl.” She feared men and longed for a child who would be an extension of herself her mother “searched my room on any pretext and read every bit of writing she found there She wanted an account of everywhere I went and everyone I met.” Following each of two events signaling Sante’s independence—going off to college and getting married—her mother had nervous breakdowns and had to be hospitalized She felt her child had betrayed her by growing up and she never forgave Sante for “leaving” her “we hated each other so intensely it was almost like love.” tortuous relationship contribute to Sante’s gender dysphoria Sante seems to think so but shows no interest in determining exactly how much—or in arguing that she was simply born that way Making categorical declarations about such unknowable things is an activist’s proclivity I Heard Her Call My Name is a revealing memoir concerned only with documenting how this life and transition have felt to a single “I don’t wish to be a spokesperson,” Sante writes in the book’s final chapter She is less interested in establishing what made her what she is than she is in delivering a truthful accounting of what it has felt like to live almost seven decades denying “the consuming furnace at the center of my life.” The shame and unworthiness she still feels (despite supportive friends and many years of therapy) serve as reminders of just how hard it can be to shake off the bindings laid on during our childhoods her life as Luc combined the performance of a male intellectual identity and the relinquishing of almost every major decision to her female partners “My marriages were succeeding monarchies,” she writes in one bravura paragraph that recapitulates lists of the lifestyle markers of the ’80s (“We ate at restaurants where you were served seven squid-ink ravioli on a plate the size of a bicycle wheel”) and ’90s (“We joined a food co-op and experimented with previously unknown leafy greens”) “I underwent all these things passively,” Sante writes; “they were weather as if I were visiting a foreign country and for diplomatic reasons had to undergo all the observances While Sante’s particular predicament was unusual this sensation of falseness will be familiar to many You don’t have to suffer from gender dysphoria to feel that you “could mimic this or that specific behavior but couldn’t sufficiently understand the underlying logic to knit the behaviors into a convincing personality.” A paradox of this breed of confessional writing is that the more precisely and frankly the writer describes an individual experience the easier it becomes for readers to recognize it as similar to dilemmas of their own Even the one area in Sante’s life in which she felt confident became contaminated by her unwillingness to face herself “In the absence of any other notably masculine qualities,” she observes it was writing that “became the principal signifier of my male identity and gradually my social personality became coextensive with my work.” In time “my work didn’t reflect me; I reflected it So Luc was in many ways a walking byline.” “I sometimes like to think of as my sad-sack ex-husband,” a hilariously homely and even fond way of accommodating a shucked-off identity Sante’s writings have meant so much to so many readers it would be wrenching to have to dismiss them as the product of a person so self-deceiving they merely served to prop up the fraud There has always been much truth in her work flourishing like those renegade artists in the squalor of 1970s New York NC — A man is wanted by law enforcement for involuntary manslaughter and drug charges following a fatal dose of Fentanyl Duplin County officials have obtained warrants on 25-year-old Antonio Kyle Santes for his involvement in the death of 18-year-old Melana Villafranco Deputies responded to a possible overdose death in the Beulaville area on September 14 Deputies say they located Villafranco who was pronounced dead by medical personnel Santes told detectives that he had given her what he believed to be Xanax a toxicity report confirmed that Villafranco died due to a fatal dose of Fentanyl Santes is believed to be in the Kinston area He is described as a white male with brown hair and green eyes and stands around 5 foot 10 inches tall Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Santes is asked to contact the Duplin County Sheriff's Office at 910-372-9202 or 910-296-2150
