![]() Nonhuman races often have whole pantheons of their own. The nonhuman races of the Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk share these deities. Nonhuman DeitiesĬertain gods closely associated with nonhuman races are revered on many different worlds, though not always in the same way. At least thirty deities are widely known across the Realms, and many more are worshiped locally, by individual tribes, small cults, or certain sects of larger religious temples. The Forgotten Realmsĭozens of deities are revered, worshiped, and feared throughout the world of the Forgotten Realms. This appendix deals with one pantheon, that of the Forgotten Realms. D&D PantheonsĮach world in the D&D multiverse has its own pantheons of deities. If you’re playing a cleric or a character with the Acolyte background, decide which god your deity serves or served, and consider the deity’s suggested domains when selecting your character’s domain. Or just make a mental note of the gods who are revered in your DM’s campaign so you can invoke their names when appropriate. Or you can pick a few that your character prays to most often. From among the gods available, you can choose a single deity for your character to serve, worship, or pay lip service to. Your DM determines which gods, if any, are worshiped in his or her campaign. And a few people dedicate themselves entirely to a single god, usually serving as a priest or champion of that god’s ideals. Many people have a favorite among the gods, one whose ideals and teachings they make their own. ![]() People in the Forgotten Realms, for example, might pray to Sune for luck in love, make an offering to Waukeen before heading to the market, and pray to appease Talos when a severe storm blows in-all in the same day. Many people in the worlds of D&D worship different gods at different times and circumstances. When gods walk the world, clerics channel divine power, evil cults perform dark sacrifices in subterranean lairs, and shining paladins stand like beacons against the darkness, it’s hard to be ambivalent about the deities and deny their existence. Religion is an important part of life in the worlds of the D&D multiverse.

The UAW is doing everything it can to ensure that the economic impact of the strike on workers is as severe as possible, to try to force them to accept a deal through economic blackmail.ĭeere workers are being starved on the picket with $275 a week in strike pay, which will not even begin for two weeks. The statement concludes by quoting Mitchell Smith, UAW Region 8 director, as asserting, “Strikes are never easy on workers or their families, but John Deere workers believe they deserve a better share of the pie, a safer workplace, and adequate benefits.” In Auburn Hills, Michigan, Dana workers reported that the spread of COVID-19 was so bad that a mask mandate was reinstated. When auto workers in Detroit and Canada walked off the job during the early stages of the pandemic in March 2020, it was the UAW that worked with the companies to ensure the full reopening of plants by the summer, fueling the massive surge of the pandemic in the latter half of last year.Ī Dana worker from Toledo told the WSWS that the deadly virus is “spreading like wildfire” in the plant. The UAW statement adds: “Curry noted that, ‘UAW John Deere members have worked through the pandemic after the company deemed them essential, to produce the equipment that feeds America, builds America and powers the American economy.’”ĭeere and other workers “worked through the pandemic” because the UAW forced them to. Precisely at the point when a joint struggle of Dana and Deere workers would enormously strengthen both, the UAW is seeking to ram through a contract at Dana to increase the pressure on workers at Deere to give in. Workers have told the WSWS that the UAW is spreading the word that a “new” tentative agreement has been reached at Dana, no doubt as bad or worse than the one that they rejected. ‘Why can’t we go on strike like they are’ is something I hear all the time.” “The John Deere workers have our support. In particular, along with the United Steelworkers, it is keeping 3,500 auto parts workers at Dana Incorporated, one of the major suppliers for Deere, on the job under a day-to-day contract extension, after workers rejected a union-backed agreement by 90 percent in late August and early September.Ī Dana worker in Tennessee told the WSWS. In fact, the UAW is doing everything it can to isolate the Deere workers and prevent a broader mobilization. The statement continues: “UAW President Ray Curry said ‘The almost one million UAW retirees and active members stand in solidarity with the striking UAW members at John Deere.’” Until the last minute, the UAW pleaded for a compromise from Deere to justify calling off the walkout, meeting with the company in closed-door talks throughout Wednesday. They voted with one voice to send the contract where it belonged, into the garbage bin. ‘Our members at John Deere strike for the ability to earn a decent living, retire with dignity and establish fair work rules,’ said Chuck Browning, vice president and director of the UAW’s Agricultural Implement Department.”ĭoes the UAW think that workers forgot what happened only last week? The “agreement” that “failed” to meet workers’ demands was brought to workers by the UAW officials, who said at the time that the tentative agreement contained “significant economic gains.” The workers refused to bow to the UAW’s lies and threats. ![]() The statement begins by declaring that the strike began “after the company failed to present an agreement that met our members’ demands and needs. On early Thursday morning, UAW headquarters released a lying statement attempting to cover up its role as a conscious agent of corporate management. It would have also ended pensions for workers hired after November, adding a de facto third tier of workers to the current hated two-tier system accepted by the UAW in 1997.Īs the company moves to hire scab workers, the UAW is working consciously and systematically to isolate and defeat the struggle. The UAW-Deere contract repudiated by workers included a wage increase of 11–12 percent over six years, about two percent per year, resulting in a major cut in real wages when taking inflation into account. Deere workers in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Georgia and Colorado launched their first strike in 35 years after rejecting a tentative agreement backed by the United Auto Workers (UAW) by more than 90 percent. More than 10,000 John Deere agricultural and construction equipment workers completed their second day on strike Friday. ![]() See reference formatting examples and additional instructions below.

Black Holes and Revelations is a monster of an album, with so many hidden depths and it may just be the best album Muse will ever create. The huge choruses seem to be designed for the live environment when singing along will not be an option but something you cannot help but do.īy the time "Knights Of Cydonia" brings the whole pompous affair to an end with it's overblown histrionics and driving forceful instrumentation you'll find yourself pressing play all over again. The rhythm section holds things together so that Bellamy can take his guitar wherever he likes, including a fantastic, if a little short, little solo and some fizzes that come out of nowhere unexpectedly. ![]() It starts slowly and belongs once again to how tight this band are. However this doesn't last long as by "Assassin" the album is back to it's off the kilter pace. The album finally slows for "Soldier's Poem", which hits the quota of every album released this year having at least one song that touches on the current world climate and also allows Muse to pretend to be Queen once more with harmonies that seem to have been lifted pitch perfect from Freddie Mercury. The one problem with Muse has always been Bellamy's lyrics, and here that is no different, However when the band can mask that weakness with a sound that mixes Queen with one to many Sci-fi movie soundtrack you really don't notice the sheer absurdity of lines like "Glaciers melt in the dead of night/ And superstars sucked into the supermassive". I wouldn't want to try and describe this song for you, I just couldn't do it justice. Following it with probably the best song on the album, "Map of Problematique," is just ingenious. Mixing a chunky bassline with Bellamy's driving understated guitar to create something of a dirty accompaniment for the silly lyrics in that voice. Lead single "Supermassive Black Hole" is quite a shock, what with Bellamy singing in falsetto, but it is probably the best choice for a single as it is such a head turner. "Starlight" is all about the hypnotic bass of Chris Wolstenholme under a soaring piano with Bellamy's vocals tying it all together. Of course it leads you into the next track, "Starlight," and you are hooked. Its somewhat familiar keyboard intro and Matt Bellamy's frankly bonkers nonsense lyrics build up throughout the track as the guitars and drums slowly creep up on you until you find yourself being dragged into the music just waiting for what is going to come next. The album kicks off with "Take a Bow," which sounds like something out of a Flash Gordon serial. So when details started to emerge about this, their fourth studio album (fifth album overall if you include the b-side collection Hullabaloo Soundtrack) and everyone was talking about it you knew it was going to be special.īlack Holes and Revelations is probably going to be the silliest album title of the year, but then Muse have never been a band to deal in subtlety. Absolution seemed to refine that sound and all of a sudden they were everywhere. Then in 2001 they came out with Origin of Symmetry and it seemed like a completely different band, gone were the slow miserable songs and in came this adventurous bombastic sound full of OTT headfuck guitar riffs and an almost gleeful will to be as big as they could. Then they had just released the very Radiohead sounding Showbiz and seemed almost destined to spend their career being compared to the Oxford based supergroup. ![]() If you asked me six years ago to name a band that at this time would seem about to take over the world I really don't think Muse would have even been in my top 50 choices.

Characteristics Of Read And Write Learnersĭid you know that although reading and writing learners are usually the ‘good students’ in a class, they can find participating in discussions challenging? Since they can articulate themselves better when writing, they prefer to write their thoughts down before sharing them with the class. Writing the information down, rewriting, and reading it is what helps them better understand it. These learners are usually successful in a traditional classroom environment, where they tend to take notes in most classes and benefit from reading and re-reading them. They use note-taking as a powerful tool for learning.

Read and write learners typically choose textbooks, articles, handouts, and notes as their primary source of learning information. They may have problems grasping the information presented to them by other means such as lectures or pictures, as they are more comfortable with written words. The read and write learners rely on reading to understand and learn. Their learning process consists of a combination between reading and writing, by reading to understand and note-taking to learn. They are the people who always add notes to pictures, choose a hardcover book over an audiobook, and prefer using closed captions while watching videos. These learners are known as read and write learners and usually learn best by reading and writing the information down. Sometimes referred to as the second visual style, reading and writing is a type of learning during which people prefer to read and write in order to learn more effectively.
