BitScope Blade is a complete industrial quality, reliable power and mounting solution build for Raspberry Pi.

The different editions offer mounting for different numbers of Raspberry Pi but they all offer features similar to this:

[BitScope Blade 04, Quattro Pi, Power & Mounting for Raspberry Pi]

Every Blade can be used with simple PLUG PACKS, 12V BATTERIES, low cost UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS) and even passive POWER OVER ETHERNET (PoE) solutions. Just one UNO PI can be used to power and mount the RASPBERRY PI 7" TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY, one Raspberry Pi, a Rapsberry Pi HAT and up to four BitScopes!

Visit the product pages for each model for the full information and specifications for each one.

BitScope Blade Packs

A design goal for BitScope Blade was to enable Raspberry Pi to be conveniently mounted to build compute clusters, cloud hosting platforms and even render or software build farms.

[BitScope Blade Pack 20, a Quattro Pi based cluster with Power & Mounting for Raspberry Pi.]

Since the release of the BCM2836 based Raspberry Pi VERSION 2 it has evolved to become a powerful single board computer.

When teamed up with BitScope Blade it makes the ideal candidate as a node in a compute cluster.

BitScope Blade solves the key POWER PROBLEM by providing high current voltage regulation right next to the Raspberry Pi.

Power is connected via the J8 header (not micro-USB) and a large low ESR capacitor enables the use of HIGH START-UP CURRENT devices such as USB disk drives.

BitScope Blades accept supply voltages ranging from 9V to 48V so it's compatible with 9V, 12V, 24V AND 48V power and mounting plates are available to secure them in PACKS as shown here. The blades can be POWERED VIA THE MOUNTING TABS which means unecessary power wiring can be eliminated as shown here - ONE 12V BATTERY POWERING 20 RASPBERRY PI !

BitScope Blade Racks

BitScope Blade Packs are designed to mount in standard 19" racks. Shown here is a pair of Blade Pack 10 units built using Duo Pi mounted in a 19" rack which houses 20 x Raspberry Pi in just 5RU of rack space.

[BitScope Blade Rack 20, a Duo Pi based Cluster Computer with Power & Mounting for Raspberry Pi.]

Using Quattro Pi it's possible to do the same thing with two Blade Pack 20 units in 7RU to accomodate up to 40 Raspberry Pi in a single rack.

With the addition of standard network switches it's possible to build arbitrarily large compute clusters with Raspberry Pi at very low cost.

Power is regulated on each blade so the master power source itself does not need to be regulated. It simply needs to provide between 9V and 48V with sufficient current to meet the requirements of the installed Raspberry Pi and associated perpherals.

Using BitScope Blade you can also connect and power many high current USB devices including almost any type of USB HARD DISK (HDD) or SOLID-STATE DRIVE (SSD).

Of course USB powered BitScopes (such as BITSCOPE MICRO shown at the bottom of this example Blade Rack 20) other peripherals such as keyboards, mice, WiFi and Bluetooth dongles can all be used. Multipe Blade Rack units can be stacked vertically in 19" rack frames making it possible to build very low cost Cloud Computing systems using the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi !

Wall Mount your Raspberry Pi

It doesn't have to be "big iron" applications like cluster computers or render farms. Another popular use-case for BitScope Blade is to use a single blade to wall mount one or more Raspberry Pi. We tweeted this idea a little while ago and it proved to be quite popular !

  With BitScope Blade DuoPi you can power USB drives directly from the @Raspberry_Pi, no more power supply problems... pic.twitter.com/8MGfExXVTb

In this case we mounted a pair of Raspberry Pi 2 using Duo Pi in a redundant server configuration. We're actually using this in the office to provide DHCP, DNS, WiFi AP and internal Web services. Combined with a low cost 4 port router and 2.5" HDD for storage it offers an unbeatable low power and low cost server solution that never needs to be rebooted.

Raspberry Pi Display and HAT

BitScope Blades can also be used to mount and power the Raspberry Pi Display and in the case of Uno Pi, a HAT.

  — Bruce Tulloch (@BitScopeDesigns) September 13, 2015

Here we have Duo Pi being used to mount and power a Raspberry Pi Display connected to a BitScope Mini educational board and next to it, Uno Pi powering another Raspberry Pi and the Sense Hat. Both boards are connected to the office network via WiFi adapters for remote access.

“_The magicks I used are very powerful. I'm very powerful. And maybe it's not such a good idea for you to piss me off._”
―Willow Rosenberg[src]
WILLOW DANIELLE ROSENBERG was a witch native to Sunnydale, California, a founding member of the Scooby Gang, and the best friend and semi-official sidekick of the Slayer, Buffy Summers. Willow started out as a shy computer nerd, eventually developing her talents to become a powerful and assertive witch.

Willow was introduced to the forces of magic by attempting a complex spell to re-ensoul Angel. To her own surprise, Willow tapped into considerable power during this ritual and would come to practice witchcraft. Willow was quick to grasp basic spells and with support from her girlfriend Tara Maclay, her powers blossomed even more rapidly as did her self-confidence. Milestones in her magical career include the enjoining spell, taking on the hell-goddess Glory and surviving, resurrecting Buffy Summers, nearly ending the world, activating multiple Potential Slayers and, eventually, establishing herself as Earth's most powerful witch.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Willow Rosenberg was born to Sheila and Ira Rosenberg. Her mother was supercilious and distant, noticing Willow had cut her hair months after she actually had it cut.[5] She had a "bad birthday party pony thing" when she was four, leaving her with a fear of ponies and horses.[6] At some point, Willow also developed a fear of frogs[7] and spiders.[8] After watching _Snoopy on Ice_, her dad took her backstage, but she was scared and threw up on Woodstock.[9]

Willow became best friends with Alexander Harris at a young age and she attended school with him throughout all of her life. On the first day of kindergarten, Willow cried because she broke a yellow crayon.[10] She and Xander also gained another friend, Jesse McNally. Willow was also very close friends with Amy Madison during junior high.[11]

Sunnydale High[edit | edit source]

Wallflower[edit | edit source]

[]
Willow meeting her future best friend, Buffy Summers, for the first time in her sophomore year of high school.

In her early years in high school, Willow was a shy, naive "nerd" with a light, risqué sense of humor. A member of the math, science, and computer clubs, she was the go-to person for tutoring help. Willow was ridiculed by her more popular classmates, including cheerleaders Cordelia Chase and Harmony Kendall. She had a hopeless crush on her lifelong friend Xander, who ignored her to pursue his equally hopeless crush on a new student and their eventual mutual best friend, Buffy Summers.

After witnessing Willow being insulted by Cordelia, Buffy quickly approached Willow as a friend despite Willow responding in fear as she saw her with Cordelia. The two met at the Bronze and Buffy encouraged Willow to seize her day, so she went out with a boy she had just met, Thomas, actually a vampire.[12] Willow soon became Buffy's best friend after the Slayer saved her, leading Willow along with Xander to learn about Buffy's secret identity. This revelation led Willow to dedicate herself to aiding her friend in the battle against evil. Willow's assistance to the Scooby Gang was mostly through her computing and hacking skills as well as helping the school librarian and Buffy's Watcher Rupert Giles on researching about demons.[13]

[]
Willow uses her computing skills to assist the Scooby Gang.

By the end of her sophomore year, Willow's interest in computers got her almost killed by the demon Moloch the Corruptor, who pretended to be a teenage boy talking to her on the net. Willow initially ignored her friends' warnings but came to realize his true nature when he revealed himself in his new robotic form. After Buffy killed him, Willow felt bad for falling for a demon, thinking something was wrong with her. Buffy and Xander cheered her up by reminding her of the times they fell for someone out of the norm.[14]

She also witnessed the death of several students at the hands of the Order of Aurelius, affecting her emotionally. This experience gave Buffy the push to confront the Order's leader, the Master who was prophesied to kill her. Learning this, Willow met up with Giles, Xander and Jennifer Calendar, her computer science teacher and technopagan she admired. They believed that a swarm of the Master's vampire minions would assemble at the Bronze where the school's prom was currently being held. Willow accompanied Jenny to her car where they discovered that the vampires were actually going to the school where they were. Luckily, Cordelia arrived and rescued them with her car, having been helped the gang prior. Returning to the library, Willow fought off both vampires and a tentacle monster that spawned from the Hellmouth, awakened by the Master after he bit Buffy and left her to drown. Buffy, however, was revived by CPR and came to their need and killed the Master.[15]

Character development[edit | edit source]

The following year, just as Buffy returned, Willow was kidnapped along with Giles, Jenny, and Cordelia by the Order's remaining members and almost killed in the ritual to resurrect the Master, since they were at close proximity to him as he died. Even though it was Buffy's emotional irrationality that put them in danger, Willow along with the others did not express any anger to her afterward.[16]

[]
Willow as a ghost.

In her junior year, Willow began to have huge advances to her persona. During Halloween when everyone literally became what their costumes were from Ethan Rayne's Costume Shop, Buffy and Xander were given different mind-sets, leaving the ghostly Willow to take initiative and assign for Giles' help while wearing skimpy outfit that Buffy before hence encouraged her to put on to impress Xander, though she kept it hidden a ghost costume that she abandoned while becoming a ghost.[1] Also, when Buffy lied to Giles so she could hold off her slayer duties to attend a college frat party, Willow burst out in a fit of guilt yet also judging Giles for not allowing Buffy to have time for herself and Angel for not bothering to make time for her.[17]

After discovering Xander's relationship with Cordelia when she caught them kissing, a heartbroken Willow angrily expressed her shock and disgust that Xander would involve himself with someone like Cordelia before her, further strengthening her assertiveness and pride.

She then quickly decided to move on, starting a romantic relationship with Daniel "Oz" Osbourne, a guitarist in the local band Dingoes Ate My Baby. The two began talking after they were selected by the "world's leading software concern" during the Careers Fair.[7] She later invited him to Buffy's birthday where he witnessed his first vampire being staked.[18] Even after the revelation that he was a werewolf and almost getting killed by him, Willow still continued to date him, even confidently kissing him at her own accord.[19]

[]
Willow's first spell: the Ritual of Restoration to re-ensoul Angelus.

When Jenny Calendar was murdered by Buffy's newly soulless boyfriend Angel, Willow agreed to teach her classes for the rest of the year.[20] During this time, she went through her former teacher's belongings, dabbling in magic. She eventually discovered a floppy disk containing the translated text of the lost Ritual of Restoration, the curse that originally had been used to ensoul Angelus decades before. Willow took it upon herself to perform the spell if Buffy couldn’t kill him, as she claimed it would be the last resort.[21]

Willow first attempted the ritual in the school library, but failed when Angelus' vampire minions attacked and a bookcase was dropped on her.[21] Recovering at the hospital, Willow performed the Ritual of Restoration with Cordelia and Oz at her side. She told Xander to inform Buffy of this, who instead just told Buffy to kill him. At the exact climax of the ritual, a powerful burst of magic surged through her, ensouling Angel just before Buffy stabbed and sent him to hell to close Acathla's portal.[22]

Learning magic[edit | edit source]

“_I mean, you've been fighting evil here for three years, and I've helped some, and now we're supposed to decide what we want to do with our lives. And I just realized that that's what I want to do. Fight evil, help people. I mean, I think it's worth doing. And I don't think you do it because you have to. It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in._”
―Willow chooses her path in life.[src]
While Buffy was away in Los Angeles, Willow continued to practice witchcraft — first starting simple through a number of pagan blessings and also once used a glamour to conceal a pimple. She even took a frightening turn when she attempted to contact the spirit world while not being ready, having found the experience to have "pulled her apart inside," as well as blowing out the power for the whole street block.[23] Willow also took charge of the Scooby Gang through their series of unsuccessful vampire hunts.[24]

[]
Willow improving her magic skills.

She joined a coven with fellow magic-users Amy Madison and Michael Czajak, who became the victims of a witch-hunt led by Buffy's mother Joyce Summers and a group called Mothers Opposed to the Occult (MOO). However, they were actually under the influence of a demon who impersonated two witch-victims; with Willow, Buffy and Amy being nearly burned at the stake before Giles revealed the demon which Buffy then slew, breaking the spell. Willow also then kept Amy as a pet after she turned herself into a rat to escape, Willow not possessing Amy's powers of transmogrification at that time.[5]

Though she showed initial shock at Buffy's secret relationship with Angel who had just returned, the heads of the gang were turned when Angel saved her from being killed by corrupt ex-watcher Gwendolyn Post.[25]

Willow and Xander discovered a growing attraction for each other, despite the fact that they were each in relationships with other people.[26] While being held hostage by Spike, Willow and Xander shared a kiss, believing that they were going to be killed. To their dismay, they were caught in the act by Oz and Cordelia, who had come to rescue them. Although Cordelia broke up with Xander for good,[27] Oz and Willow eventually managed to work things out after some weeks.[28]

[]
Willow fakes being her vampiric counterpart.

Tired of being "old reliable," Willow aided former vengeance demon Anya Jenkins in a spell, unwittingly releasing her own vampire counterpart from an alternate universe. Wanting to return to her dimension, Willow's counterpart rounded up a gang of vampire minions originally employed by Mayor Richard Wilkins to kill Willow. She then used them to hold the Bronze patrons hostage in hopes of forcing the real Willow to send her back. After a fortunate encounter, Willow managed to trap her counterpart and was then forced to pretend to be her so the gang could kill each vampire one by one. In the ordeal, she was shocked to discover that her vampire counterpart exhibited homosexual tendencies, a foreshadowing to her very own lesbian relationships. One positive from the whole event was the encounter between vampire Willow and Percy West, a lazy, self-involved jock who Willow was forced to tutor but left Willow to do his own unfinished assignments. After meeting her vampire counterpart, a fearful Percy decided to do the work required and he started to respect her as she tutored him.[29]

Despite being accepted by several colleges, including Harvard, Yale, and Oxford, Willow decided to attend University of California, Sunnydale so that she could continue fighting the "good fight" with Buffy after being held hostage by Mayor Richard Wilkins and rogue Slayer Faith Lehane, where the Scooby Gang traded a key component of the Mayor's Ascension for Willow.[30] Fearing she would die not having experienced new depths in her relationship with Oz, she lost her virginity to him the night before graduation when the Mayor would ascend into the Old One Olvikan. During the fight against the Mayor and his vampire minions, Willow and a number of other students wielded spear guns, though this did little damage to the Mayor. Willow then survived the battle.[31]

College[edit | edit source]

“_It’s just in high school, knowledge was pretty much frowned upon. You really had to work to learn anything. But here, the energy, the collective intelligence, it’s like this force, this penetrating force_”
―Willow[src]

In her first year of college, Willow initially enjoyed being in an environment that appreciated her intellect and further excelled in her magical abilities. Moving across town to UC Sunnydale,[32] Willow and Buffy become roommates at room 214 in Stevenson Hall after the expulsion of Buffy's previous demonic roommate, Kathy Newman.[33] Though her skills in magic got better, Willow did struggle in some areas in terms of control. During Halloween, the Scoobies became trapped in a frat house that was being magically altered by the demon Gachnar. Willow wanted to prove herself by locating endangered party-goers with magic despite her friends' opposition because of concerns for her safety. She ignored them and the spell she performed ending up attacking her.[34]

Willow soon reached a stage of emotional heartbreak. Oz left town after cheating on Willow with another werewolf called Veruca. Around this time Willow attempted to curse them both with magic, though stopped when Veruca arrived to kill her only to be killed by Oz who then left her out of fear of endangering her.[35] Willow then waited but was left with a bitter attitude, writing letters to Oz but not knowing where to post them. A devastated Willow cast a spell to have "My Will Be Done," accidentally endangering her friends' lives in the process when she called Xander a "demon magnet," thus attracting real hostile demons to his location. This also made her eligible to become a vengeance demon, but she declined the offer and undid the spell.[36]

[]
Willow combining forces with another witch, Tara.

Afterward, she joined the campus Wicca group Daughters of Gaea, a disappointing experience when she found out none of the other members were actually real witches with the exception of the presence of timid, serious witch Tara Maclay. After discovering each other's magic during an encounter with the Gentlemen,[37] they became friends, meeting each other on a regular basis to practice spells weeks before Tara was introduced to Willow's friends. From this, they eventually formed a close bond and fell in love with each other, though both remained discreet about it.

Later, Oz returned, believing he had gained control over his wolf-side, with hopes of continuing his relationship with Willow. This put Willow in a tough position, having to choose between her long-term boyfriend or a new and exciting relationship with a woman. After some serious consideration, and coming out to Buffy about her feelings for Tara, Willow chose Tara over Oz, who left Sunnydale once more, having been unable to control his condition.[38]

Spike, in league with Adam, attempted to split the Scoobies apart. He used Willow's relationship with Tara as one of the catalysts, and her sexuality came out to everyone at this time.[39] She later joined with the fellow essences of Buffy, Xander, and Giles to form a super being to defeat Adam. Willow acted as the "spirit" of the ensemble, using her magic skills to disarm Adam's technological advantages.[40]

[]
Willow advances further in the dark magicks.

Willow's power increased at a dramatic rate. Her relationship with Tara was strengthened when she discovered how Tara rose above her family's abusive lies. However, they argued when Tara voiced her concerns at how much magic Willow had been using over the past few months.[41] Shortly afterward, Tara was "brain-sucked" by the hell-goddess Glory, and was left in an insane, babbling state. Enraged and grief-stricken, Willow ignored Buffy's warnings and attacked Glory full force in her own home, but was ultimately defeated; however, to Willow's credit, she did manage to actually injure Glory and weaken her significantly. Willow almost got herself killed after spitting directly in Glory's face in a show of pure spite, but Buffy arrived just in time to save her.[41]

When Buffy later went into a catatonic state, Willow magically entered her mind and freed her, assuring her that they would find a way to defeat Glory.[42] In the final fight against Glory, Willow managed to slow her down by restoring Tara's mind, and disorientating the hell-god, as Willow reunited with her lover. However, Buffy was forced to sacrifice herself to save the life of her sister, Dawn.[43] Following the battle, a devastated Willow departed to Los Angeles and visited the Hyperion Hotel to inform Angel that Buffy had died.[44]

Addiction to magic and "Dark Willow"[edit | edit source]

“_The magicks you channeled are more ferocious and primal than anything you can hope to understand, and you are lucky to be alive, you rank, arrogant amateur!_”
―Giles condemns Willow over her growing misuse of magic.[src]

Willow resurrects Buffy.

Following Buffy's death, Willow assumed leadership of the Scoobies (at Xander's insistence) and used her magic in patrols to help keep the vampire population in check while looking after Dawn in Buffy's absence. Willow's magical skills peaked when she led Tara, Xander, and Anya in resurrecting Buffy.[45] This had major concerns; both Tara and Xander briefly opposed the idea while Giles branded her as a "rank arrogant amateur" for delving into such deep, consequential magic.[46]

Willow developed an addiction to magic and began to use it excessively, and briefly got into an argument with Tara over it; she subsequently used magic to erase all memory of the fight from Tara's mind.[47] After Sweet's musical spell lead to Buffy revealing that she had been in Heaven and not Hell as they originally believed,[48] Willow became guilt-ridden over costing her best friend eternal happiness and suggested using magic to erase Buffy's memories of Heaven, leading to another argument with Tara; not wanting to lose Tara, Willow vowed not to use magic for a week to prove that she was not dependent on it, but almost immediately went back on her word and cast a spell to make Buffy and Tara forget about the negative aspects of what her spells did, only for it to backfire and gave the entire Scooby Gang, including herself, total amnesia, rendering them vulnerable when the Magic Box was attacked by Bro'os, a demonic loan shark trying to collect Spike's gambling debt. When the spell was broken, Tara promptly broke up with Willow.[49]

Willow's addiction spirals out of control.

Without Tara's presence, Willow's addiction spiraled completely out of control; she finally managed to transform Amy back from a rat back into a human, and Amy began taking her to Rack, a dark magic dealer, with her more liberal use of magic contrasting with the Scoobies' attempts to encourage responsibility. Later, while attempting to take Dawn to the movies, Willow dropped by Rack's place again and left Dawn alone and unprotected in the waiting room for two hours, disregarding Dawn's fears and complaints when she emerged. Following this, they were attacked by Mandraz, a demon unwillingly summoned by Willow during her high. Willow commandeered a car using magic to escape, and the two suffered a car accident; while Willow emerged relatively unscathed, Dawn suffered a broken arm, and the two were saved from the demon by the timely arrival of Buffy and Spike shortly afterward.[50] Faced with this, Willow was finally forced to face the consequences of her actions and cut off her contact with Rack and Amy, renouncing the use of her powers and choosing to help the Scoobies with her technical skills.

Sometime later, Willow and Tara reconciled, prompting them to spend several hours in bed "catching up." Suddenly, Tara was murdered by a stray bullet from Warren Mears' attempt to kill Buffy. A grief-stricken Willow, having failed to bring Tara back, unleashed her dark side once more, absorbing every bit of dark magic from the texts in the Magic Box, causing both her hair and her eyes to become solid black, with veins protruding on her face as a r

The killing of an unarmed man by a Bay Area police officer last week deserves equal attention to other controversial examples of cops using deadly force, the victim's father said Wednesday.

A police officer in Richmond, California, shot Richard "Pedie" Perez multiple times outside a liquor store on Sept. 14, but witnesses and the police department have conflicting accounts of what preceded the shooting.

Police say Officer Wallace Jensenfirst tried detaining the 24-year-old because he "displayed obvious signs of being very intoxicated." Jensen said he shot Perez for trying to grab his gun. But a lawyer for Perez's parents says witnesses have claimed Perez didn't make threatening moves, though he resisted being arrested.

That narrative may sound similar to other disputes involving lethal police violence, such as the shooting of Michael Brown. But Perez's father wonders why it hasn't registered a fraction of other cases' outrage.

"My son's just as good as anybody else's son," the elder Richard Perez told HuffPost. "He was just as unarmed as everybody's son."

It is the first time a Richmond cop had fatally shot anyone since 2007, according to a statement from Richmond Police Chief Chris Magnus.

"As chief of police, I am committed to the greatest degree of transparency possible involving this critical incident," Magnus' statement said. "I am confident that all aspects of this case will be thoroughly investigated and we will keep you appraised of updates as they become available."

It was mandatory for Jensen to carry a Taser and nightstick with him, according to John Burris, an attorney for the Perez family. But on the night of the shooting, Jensen didn't have either, Burris told HuffPost.

"If he had those items, given that the kid was unarmed, they should have been used," Burris said. "By not having them, he reached for deadly force."

A Richmond police spokesman disputed Burris' allegation and told HuffPost that Jensen had a Taser X26.

"He considered using his Taser early in the fight, but could not get to it with his left hand because the suspect was over-powering him," Capt. Mark Gagan said in an email.

The level of a struggle that Perez put up didn't warrant Jensen opting for his gun, Burris said.

"Have no doubt [Perez] was resisting [arrest], but he was not threatening," Burris said. "That's no justification for shooting anyone. Period."

Jensen, who is Latino, has served six years on the force, according to the department. Perez's father said the Perez family identifies as white.

The younger Perez had several prior run-ins with the law. Twice he was arrested for alleged drunk driving, according to his father, and the most recent DUI occurred the night before he was killed. In August, he was charged with firing a gun in a grossly negligent manner for a shooting near the family's recycling lot, Richmond Confidential reports.

The Contra Costa district attorney and the Richmond Police Department are conducting separate investigations of the shooting.

Perez, who lived in the rough Iron Triangle neighborhood, worked with his father in the family-owned paper and recycling business and had a cheerful, outgoing personality, according to his father.

"We worried he would get killed in a drive-by shooting, but it was a cop that did it," his father said.

_UPDATE: This story was updated to include information from Richmond Police Capt. Mark Gagan about Jensen carrying a Taser._

question: What would have happened if Jensen had used his taser instead of a gun?

answer: Perez would still be alive, presumably.

As with all intricately planned crimes, there's always something that crumbles, one detail that causes things to break apart. Tonight was no exception… the fridge opened for the fifth time, was it nerves? Hunger? Who knew, all he knew was that mustard and canned beans probably wouldn't taste good. He sat back down to wait; it wasn’t going to be long. The ringing phone pierced the silence his heart dropped as he knew that it was time. “Come down” the voice on the other end screeched.

He boarded the elevator hesitating for a moment before hitting the basement key. A thousand scenarios ran thru his mind as the floors went by, how was he going to handle this, what was the boss going to say? The elevator doors sprang open, Rhonda stood there with an aggravated look about her face, “Let’s go were already late” they got in to the Tahoe and got on to the main road Todd looked out the window the street lights passing quickly “slow down were not that late” he barked, Rhonda slammed on the breaks and then the gas “slow enough for you?” a brief stare was shared and they went back to ignoring each other

They pulled up to the house and got out of the truck “see we are late all the lights are out” Rhonda said staring a hole thru Todd “it’ll be alright I know where the breaker box is”. You better she barked, they walked around the side of the house found the box and cut the power and walked to the back door, it was unlocked, “this wasn’t part of the plan” thought Todd. Must have been an over sight by Mr. Pol Rhonda whispered. “Yeah” Todd said as they walked in. Todd kicked the flash light on as they searched for the master bed room. They crept to the end of the hall; Rhonda went for the door knob “wait” exclaimed Todd. “Fuck you” Rhonda muttered, as she opened the door the flashlight went off and their eyes began adjusting to the dark. Rhonda was first in and as her eyes came in to focus she noticed the bed was empty, the lights hit, Rhonda froze, no heart beat, no breath.

“Did you really think he’d just sit back a let you do it?” Todd said calmly. “Fuck you Todd this was the plan from the beginning” she said thru broken breath. Todd’s eyes grew wide “what do you mean?” “Bruce knows all about what I did, it was all part of the plan” he broke concentration for only a few seconds “don’t lie bitch, Bruce is the one that put the bounty on your head” he yelled. She turned around and looked him dead in the eye “I wouldn’t lie”

CRACK, the gun shot rang out thru the house and the valley Todd looked down at the crimson liquid pouring out of his chest as he dropped to his knees his last thought was “she didn’t lie”
their stood Bruce, .357 still smoking. “About time you showed up” Rhonda said with a look of relief across her face. A smirk came across Bruce’s face. “What was Todd babbling about” Rhonda said with confusion in her voice. “Not babbling, all true sweet heart” Bruce said coldly. “Wha” CRACK a second shot rang out thru the valley, Rhonda stumbled back in to the corner “wh..Why” she said thru gasping breath. “Why would I pay this kid to do a job I am perfectly capable of performing” Bruce said wile wiping down the gun with a velvet cloth he pulled from his jacket. As Rhonda bled out she looked up at bruce and spit out her last words, “you never ran shit”. Bruce looked down with a grin “I do now”.

title: The boss.

question: Did Bruce put a bounty on Rhonda?

answer: Yes.

question: Will Todd be betrayed by Bruce?

answer: Yes.

question: Will Rhonda be betrayed by Bruce?

answer: Yes.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: Rhonda and Todd try to do a job that is illegal. As they are committing their crime Todd tells Rhonda Bruce put a bounty on her head. She claims that is impossible, because Bruce knew about the job. Bruce arrives and shoots both Rhonda and Todd, saying that he is in charge now.

The next night, Peter’s friend told him that he was really sad because his mother had died. Society told Peter that this was unacceptable. It was now up to Peter to make everything alright for his friend- to tell him well-thought-out lies to keep him happy and sane. They spoke their lies to each other over text message:

“I don’t believe in much. Really, I believe in almost nothing. But I do believe in hope. A tiny light within you and everyone else, that can never be crushed. If you never let go of your tiny light of humanity- if you just hold on to the light you have inside of you- more positive things will happen in your life, as a direct result of your positive thinking.” -Peter wrote that.

**These were all lies.** Peter’s friend thanked him profusely, and in tears, although Peter would never know, because they were not talking in person. Hardly ever did Peter, or most people his age, talk in person. They prefered to confuse each other through text, and not go through the grueling process of true empathy or compassion. Peter’s friend loved everything that Peter had to say, said Peter’s friend’s phone in a text message. He believed Peter, even if Peter did not believe himself. That night one of them went to sleep.

This is how the day went according to Peter’s mind that night:

“Black ballpoint pens manufactured by Parker have a lifespan five miles long of writing before the ink dissipates.”
"-she sent me some hilarious texts, not any that are appropriate for sharing right now though...."
“-if we learned anything in the past week, son, it’s that everything can end instantly, without warning.”
“A good pen can write 50,000 words.”
"She was the warmest, most fun-loving woman I have ever met."
She kissed my legs all the way up, starting at the feet. A shiver went through my body.
“The horrific crash, which happened at about 10:45 Monday morning, killed the victim and closed that stretch of the road for nearly 10 hours while investigators combed the scene.”
“-sometimes more of a friend than a mother.”
“You’re early, but so am I!”
“-she was my best friend.”
It must have been hardly a face at all.
By John Diniak
“The first fountain pen was invented by L.E. Waterman in 1883, and
had it patented in 1884.”
“-electronic cigarette in one hand, Diet Coke in another.”
“To be honest, I‘m only working part-time and need to make more money.”
“Well, I think that's it.
I'll
Miss you.”
“Does this bus go to Brighton?”
Her colors- her being, Vincent; They ended in a swirl.
Just a little too beautiful for this world.
“It took rescue personnel about an hour and a half to extricate the victim from her car, which was heavily damaged. The road was strewn with pieces of the car.”
“In World War II, pilots used ballpoint pens because they do not leak at high altitudes.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Memories are never lost, but left upstairs with eternal frost.
Like a mad woman, whispering to herself in the attic
She may scream every once in a while.
Hush yourself, like mother to child,
but never open the door.

[Kane Brown gained his first number one with “What Ifs”, featuring Lauren Alaina.|alt=Singer Kane Brown.] In 2017, _Billboard_ magazine published two main charts ranking the top-performing country music songs in the United States. The Hot Country Songs chart ranked songs based on digital downloads, streaming, and airplay not only from country stations but from stations of all formats, a methodology introduced in 2012.[1] The Country Airplay listing, which had been published for the first time in 2012, was based solely on country radio airplay, a methodology which had previously been used for several decades for Hot Country Songs.[2] In 2017, seven different songs topped the Hot Country Songs chart and 34 different songs topped Country Airplay in 52 issues of the magazine.

In the issue of _Billboard_ dated February 25, singer Sam Hunt reached number one with the song “Body Like a Back Road”, which would remain in the top spot through the issue dated October 14. In August the song broke the record for the most weeks spent at number one on the Hot Country Songs listing, surpassing the 24 weeks spent in the top spot by Florida Georgia Line's “Cruise” in 2012 and 2013.[3] Hunt's song was finally knocked from the top of the chart in the issue dated October 21 by “What Ifs” by Kane Brown featuring Lauren Alaina. Two months later, “Meant to Be” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line entered the Hot Country chart at number one, only the fourth time a song had debuted in the top position of the Hot Country Songs chart.[4] The song would go on to break Hunt's record the following summer when it spent a 35th consecutive week at number one.[5] On the Country Airplay chart, Dustin Lynch had the longest run at number one of 2017, spending four consecutive weeks at the top with “Small Town Boy”. Lynch tied with Blake Shelton for the highest total number of weeks at number one on that chart, both artists spending five weeks in the top spot. Shelton took three different songs to number one, a feat also achieved by Thomas Rhett. No act achieved more than one chart-topper on the Hot Country Songs listing.

Ten acts gained their first country number ones in 2017. In April Lauren Alaina topped the airplay chart for the first time with “Road Less Traveled”[6] and subsequently guested on “What Ifs”, which was the first chart-topper for Kane Brown,[7] reaching the top spot of both charts. Luke Combs topped the airplay chart in May with “Hurricane”, his debut single,[8] and was immediately followed into the top spot by another debut chart-topper, Brett Young's “In Case You Didn't Know”.[9] In July Backstreet Boys, a hugely successful pop act since the 1990s,[10] gained their first country number one when they collaborated with Florida Georgia Line on the song “God, Your Mama, and Me”.[11] Two weeks later Maren Morris made her debut at number one thanks to her featured performance on Thomas Rhett's song “Craving You”,[12] which was replaced in the top spot by “My Girl”, the first number one for Dylan Scott.[13] In November Carly Pearce took her debut single “Every Little Thing” to number one,[14] and the following week the band LANCO gained its first chart-topper with “Greatest Love Story”.[15] The final artist to reach number one for the first time in 2017 was Bebe Rexha. More closely associated with the pop music and R&B genres,[16] Rexha's collaboration with Florida Georgia Line was her first country hit.[17]

 for Ukip at May's election could boost the calls for electoral reform, which in turn could make his eurosceptics a ‘big party in British politics’.

He said: ‘I've always thought there should be election reform but that is frankly irrelevant in the next 38 days.

‘Yes, this is very hard for us because you find good Ukip support in Labour constituencies and in Conservative constituencies.

‘Yes, that's a challenge but what we have to do is to get over the line in enough seats in this General Election campaign and then you'll see how many seats we've actually come second in, and you'll realise as part of a longer-term strategy this really could become a big party in British politics.’

Mr Fraser’s comments came as Nigel Farage revealed the party’s pledge card, which includes pledges on the EU, immigration, extra spending on the NHS, cuts in foreign aid spending and no tax on the minimum wage

At the launch of the party's pledge card in Westminster, the Ukip leader was joined by Ukip MP Mark Reckless and other senior Ukip figures, but Clacton MP Douglas Carswell did not attend the event

On his quest to become an MP in South Thanet, Mr Farage said he was facing a ‘hell of a fight’.

He said: ‘There are easier seats I could have gone for. I am confident but certainly not complacent.’

Asked if his party could get into double figures for seats, he replied: ‘Of course we can.’

When questioned about the significance of the TV debate later this week, Mr Farage replied: ‘It is important for all of us, but yes the stakes are high.’

Writer Julia Tausch argues the band built their brand on misogyny, with early songs like "Dead Womb" showing off their questionable gender politics.

On October 25th, someone using the pseudonym Kurt Schwitterz wrote a Medium post documenting the relationship between Jesse Keeler, bassist of the Canadian band Death From Above, and Gavin McInnes, formerly of Vice Magazine and founder of the Proud Boys, an alt-right frat. The post initially alleged that Keeler was a Proud Boy himself. Heartbroken fans took to social media to express shock and disappointment. I'm relieved we still live in a culture where an artist's association with the alt-right provokes disgust and disavowal, but I am also genuinely confused by the surprise. Death From Above's brand has been hipster men's rights activists (MRA) from the start.

    Attention white straight cisgender male filmmakers: Diversity is not a threat

I've been trying to say this publicly for literal years. As soon as I heard "Dead Womb" ("We're looking for wives / So tired of sluts coming up to us in the clubs with their cocaine") I was irked. This was in 2002. The feeling stuck like sharp sand in a scrape. I wrote a bunch about it, but never published a word, for a couple of reasons.

First, I didn't have the vocab in the early aughts to say what repulsed me about the song. Second, I went to high school with the other member of DFA, singer and drummer Sebastien Grainger. I was part of the gaggle that sat around him on the lawn of the school while he strummed his guitar and sang U2.

We were still friends when "Dead Womb" came out — not close, but part of the same large, loose group. I asked if we could talk about the song for a piece I hoped to write. I interviewed him in his green living room, recorded it on cassette. We were both nervous. I didn't know what I wanted to ask ("Do you hate women? Do you think they are your toys?"). He didn't know how to answer.

I wish I still had the tape. If memory serves, he was mostly on about the wives part. Like, he was into old school relationships, you know? But I remember discussing, too, his aversion to women who "poison their wombs"; I can feel, still, the anger that trembled in my chest as we spoke, the frustration of not knowing how to put it into words.

  I'm relieved we still live in a culture where an artist's association with the alt-right provokes disgust and disavowal, but I am also genuinely confused by the surprise. Death From Above's brand has been hipster men's rights activists (MRAs) from the start.
  - Julia Tausch, writer

I messed with my essay for months; it kept sucking, my words lumpy knots. I showed it to my dad ("a bit strident, no?"). I tied in Nickelback (their repellent "Figured You Out" came out around the time I interviewed Grainger). I planned to send it to both Toronto weeklies; I planned to blow it sky-high. Some women confronted the band at a show in Montreal. I wasn't alone. But it never quite worked.

Would that I'd had the terms I have now. DFA unabashedly slut shame in "Dead Womb" and, like MRAs, yearn for women willing to play the roles they were supposedly born for: wife, mother, man-pleaser. And for better or worse, had a group like the Proud Boys been so visible then — with "venerate the housewife" among its core tenets — I might have been able to articulate the worldview I was urging Sebastien to resist. Back then, though, it was still a murky haze. Was I just being a bitch?

Whenever my essay circled close to the truth, I backed off. I still wanted to be friends. Plus as DFA's star rose, I got to do cool stuff — I met other Canadian demi-celebs at a festival backstage; I touched a heated toilet seat in the band's trailer!

More than that, though, Sebastien was really nice a lot of the time: warm, funny, enveloping you in his metre-long arms. I worked on kid's theatre with his lovely sister, drank too much champagne at his wedding, am still sorry I barfed on the rented bus that ferried us home. DFA performed at the launch of my first novel. Did I want to smear this man's name? Did I want to equate my own with a feminism of the most strident type?

I did not. I drawered the essay and lost the file, long ago. Slowly, too, I lost Sebastien. His fame increased, he moved to LA. Long before that, though, our friendship was strained; there was too much I hadn't known how to say, that he wouldn't, I'm sure, have wanted to hear. I still followed news of DFA's career, but stopped actually listening to their songs.

  I'd argue that the music Jesse and Sebastien make blew up precisely because of their politics. In both form and content, DFA are unabashedly tough — asserting brute masculinity as desirable and cool, primal and natural.
  - Julia Tausch

That's why I still think about this band, and why Keeler's recent trouble came as no surprise. On October 27th, Keeler refuted Schwitterz' claims and played down his relationship with McInnes in a post on DFA's Facebook page. He explains that he met McInnes when Vice Records released DFA's early work. With regard to being a Proud Boy, Keeler asserts, "This is completely false. I would never join that group." Keeler concedes that he and McInnes "remained friendly, and as our lives diverged, we spoke...mostly about Dad stuff as we both have kids." Keeler says he's not alt-right — he's just a curious "father of two."

Obviously Keeler intends to humanize himself by doubling down on his dad status, but the move hurtled me back to those early days when I tried to pin down the patriarchal family values cloaked in the squelchy muck of DFA's power. "I never wanted to talk about politics," Keeler goes on to plead. "I just wanted to make music and leave that stuff alone."

I'd argue that the music Jesse and Sebastien make blew up precisely because of their politics. In both form and content, DFA are unabashedly tough — asserting brute masculinity as desirable and cool, primal and natural.

Though none of the songs on their 2004 debut album _You're a Woman, I'm a Machine_ are as egregious as "Dead Womb," plenty of lines are easy to read as arguments for male dominance. "Romantic Rights" opens with "Your romantic rights are all that you got / Push them down, son, it's more than just lip," introducing a dude who believes in a woman's conjugal duty. Then comes the Robin Thicke-esque, "Come on girls, I know you know what you want." Reproduction is exalted: "We could do it and start a family." The woman in the song is "living alone unhappily"; the man screams, "I don't need you, I want you." According to "Romantic Rights," men are independent; women are fulfilled only by pleasing said men and bearing their kids.

I remember loving this song at first. The brazen re-inscription of musty gender roles felt villainous, diabolical — like how we love Ursula the Sea Witch, but not. The sexy beats, the prowling insistence of the vocal ceding to plaintive yowls — it's the musical equivalent of Roosh V's Game, which, if it was pure fantasy, might be fun. If the humour that makes it into DFA's videos and social media made it into their songs more often, I might have kept listening. Eva Michon's video for "Virgins" (the third single from 2014's _The Physical World_) is funny enough, but does nothing to undercut the lyrics ("Where have all the virgins gone?"), which easily square with DFA's retrograde worldview.

The band still play Dead Womb live, straight-faced. Earlier this year, Grainger described the song as "a manifesto for the rest of our careers" — though he talked like the song was just about avoiding cocaine and said nothing of sluts, wives or wombs. In 2014, on the other hand, he told The Guardian, "It wasn't meant to be a hateful song...I just liked saying outrageous things." If the song is the band's manifesto, that's pretty damning. If it's just meant to be outrageous, you'd think they could handle some outrage.

But they can't. In the press for their latest album, _Outrage! Is Now_, they pivot to a critique of call-out culture. The guys are worried that the mainstream is "in a moral panic. It's the same as...witch burning." They're worried, too, that "no one gets jokes anymore either." Of course call-out culture is complex. But I don't think DFA are interested in creating safer communities within which to further justice. Instead, just as Keeler claims that he wants to stay away from politics, it sounds to me like _Outrage!_ is an attempt to eschew the type of discussion I'm trying to keep going here. Their "outside of the system" stance seems almost to anticipate the Proud Boy allegations, and looks like an attempt to avoid accountability.

    Point of View

    Why non-Indigenous support for Joseph Boyden should set off alarm bells

But DFA have been small-p proud boys all along. The band's conception of gender is in keeping with McInnes's — tellingly, Keeler doesn't distance himself from the Proud Boys' sexism in his statement, instead mobilizing his Indian heritage to suggest he couldn't possibly be a white nationalist. But whether or not Jesse's a Western chauvinist, DFA has built their brand on male chauvinism from day one. And the industry's eaten it up.

In response to Jesse's statement, fanboys yelped, "We love you, man, we knew you weren't like that." But he's been like that in plain sight for years. Schwitterz retracted the Proud Boy charge, but highlights the "sketchy shit" Keeler espoused on McInnes' podcasts. Fans can evaluate the evidence for themselves. While Schwitterz goes on to call Keeler just a "giant dummy," I'm not inclined to be so generous; I know that misogyny and white nationalism intersect and inform one another. Having been irked by DFA's MRA-like lyrics for so long, Keeler's musings on Muslims in Britain strike me as depressingly on brand.

I am glad to finally have the words to express why I've long been disappointed in Sebastien and Jesse. A dorky-ass part of me hopes that the band will see the fallout of the Proud Boy controversy as a reason to expand their own vocabularies, to grow beyond their panic that their white-passing male entitlement might be under threat. But if they don't, there's plenty of reason — and always has been — to disavow Death From Above.

question: What is Julia Tausch arguing about the band Death from Above?

answer: She argues the band built their brand on misogyny.

question: What is the peculiar relationship examined?

answer: That of Death from Above's bassist, Jesse Keeler,of Canada, and Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys, an alt-right group in the States.

question: What question did Tausch ask Keeler that he could not answer?

answer: "Do you hate women?".

question: What did Keeler have to say about the Proud Boys?

answer: He said he would never join that group.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: Writer Julia Tausch contends that the Canadian band Death from Above has founded their career on misogyny. Despite her friendship with the band's bassist, Jesse Keeler, she notes moments throughout their friendship when the group's lyricism left her confused. When Tausch questioned Keeler personally as to whether or not he hates women, Tausch reports that he could not answer. Keeler has had a friendship with Proud Boys founder Gavin McInness, but Keeler maintains he would never join the alt-right US group.
