Across the Bontive Valley, hardened members of the Cause join with recent recruits and regular civilians to kick off a region-wide celebration of their new liberation. Because it represents the first chance to publicly commemorate not only the group's most recent victory over the Bilateral Intercession, but also their recent victory over the Stellar Combustor and their success in taking the Grav Train), it is a loud, boisterous, and sprawling party. There, in the town of Eversin, the crew of the Blue Channel joins in with the celebration. Who will they bump into? What new memories might they make?  This week on PALISADE: Reach In / Reach Out Pt. 2 Sing where the other boys can watch you dance Dossier People Midnite Matinee (she/her): Leporine scout and member of the Blue Channel. She and her trusty Pack-model light AutoHollow Popcorn used to run a repo company, but now are tentatively committed to the Cause and Millennium Break. Elle Evensong (she/they): Elle arrived to Palisade along with the first wave of Devotees, making a name for herself as a cunning combatant and clever commander. She became a poster child for Twilight Mirage's support of Palisade (and, for members of the Dim Liturgy, a prophesied bridge between the past and the future). But as the war began to heat up, she seemed to vanish into the background. In fact, they were working for the Divine, Arbitrage as a double agent. Cori blames them for the death of her father. Pilot of the Cataphract. Murchy “Murch” Saltburn (she/her): A gig-cop working for Lock & Cross Security Services in Baseline-C.  Alise Breka (she/her): Once, Alise was most popular for her Renegade Hearts books of daring pulp adventure. Now she is one of the chief propagandists of Millennium Break, turning their struggles (and victories) into novels, screenplays, and other media. Gucci Garantine (she/her): A defector from Stel Kesh, who used the remaining wealth and power of House Brightline to help found Millennium Break. Currently a key member of the resistance efforts on Palisade, and a commander of Millenium Break forces there. Codename Watershed. Jesset City (he/him): After helping to kick off Millennium Break on Partizan, Jesset served as one of its major leaders during its expansion across the Principality. Now, he uses his talents in Hollow and Altar engineering, piloting, and cipher breaking on behalf of the Grey Pond unit of the cause. Still considers himself to be a member of the Party of the Wolf, though those designations have largely fallen from use. Mustard Red (she/her): A cyborg who once served as a member of Brink Proxy, with a speciality in surveillance. Joined the Cause during the Devotees expansion onto Palisade. Organizations Bilateral Intercession: One of two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, comprised by Stels Kesh and Nideo, and lead by the so-called Peaceful Princept, Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh (he/him), who took control of the faction from the Curtain, a secretive intelligence organization with roots in Kesh's ancient spy operations. The “Bilats” are a conservative and reactionary force, aiming to return the Principality to its roots both literally and figuratively. After a long campaign against the Pact of Free States, they managed to take control of Palisade. Rose River: Though they are undoubtedly committed to the Cause, this unique research unit (combining Veronique (she/her), her Divine Fealty (any pronouns), and their followers with an out-of-time NEH Sleep Detachment squad) hope for a day when they can be something other than soldiers. Jade Kill: Based in Joyous Guard, this military arm of the Cause is operated by the Delegate liberation faction known as Reunion and supported by Kalar Anakalar's (he/him) Giantkiller unit and a wing of Swordbreakers. Led by August Righteousness (he/him). Violet Cove: The Dim Liturgy claim to have seen the Divine Devotion's arrival coming in their sacred text: A battered and corrupted backup of Crystal Palace's final predictions for the future. Now the two cults work together to oust the Bilats... and perhaps to do more intriguing things, as well. Grey Pond: With members of the Oxblood Clan, the Company of the Spade, and the Shale Belt's Concrete Front, these blue collar revolutionaries are experts at getting the Cause the equipment it needs (and maintaining what it has when that's the only available option). Carmine Bight: From ramshackle additions to the rocky shores of Rifle Island, Captain Skelton Knaggs (he/him) and his fearsome flotilla launch rusted pirate vessels beneath the waves, guided by a coalition of Hyphan navigators. The Twill: Though many groups have lived on the world of Palisade over the years, the Twill can trace their time on the world back the furthest. Though a first glance appraisal might make one think that their defining trait is the moss that covers much of their bodies and allows them to live on sunlight and water alone, in fact their most unshakable cultural trait is a practice of collaboration, aid, and acceptance. When groups like Advent, Kesh, the New Earth Hegemony, and the Divine Principality left Palisade behind, they often left behind the disaffected or unwanted. It was often, if not always, the Twill who helped these people find sustainable lives on the world, either by blending with the group over generations or through open exchange of goods and information. The Frontier Syndicate: A powerful conglomerate with a broad purview, including technology, heavy industry, entertainment, telecommunications, and transportation. Led by Exenceaster March (he/him), the Syndicate betrayed the Pact of Free States and joined the Bilats in order to be part of their colonization efforts on Palisade. The New Asterism: What was once a schism between Received and Progressive Asterism has now been healed by the false prophet Gur Sevraq (he/they), or at least someone in his name and face. The New Asterism claims that to be a citizen of the Principality is to have an obligation to "better the world," in the sense that one invests in property or in the way that a settler “rehabilitates” or “improves” the places they claim by violence. Places Bontive Valley: Blessed by the departed divine Bounty, the Valley provides the Bilats with fruit that never rots and hyper-nutritional grain. Divines The Divine Filigree: The instrumentalized operating core of Palisade's extensive GravTrain system. Recovered by the Blue Channel and turned over to the Cause's leadership. The Divine Motion (she/her): One of the founding members of the Pact, the necromantic Apostolosian divine once led its infamous retinue, the Black Century, on Partizan. They were defeated and dispersed, turned into part of Kalmeria, during Operation Shackled Sun.  The Divine, Arbitrage (it/its): The amoral machine turned de facto treasurer keeps the Frontier Syndicate a step ahead in all matters of commerce. Sole minter of “glint,” a newly popular currency on Palisade. The Divine Crusade (they/them): Leads Stel Nideo's occupation on Palisade along with their Elect, Gentian. Crusade is an enormous, bipedal machine covered (or perhaps made with) beautiful stained glass. Asepsis (it/its): The final living remnants of a Divine who pursues its particular vision of purity at the cost of everything else. Kept, studied, and utilized by Captain Kalvin Brnine. Additional Notes Delegates: In plain terms, Delegates are synthetic individuals created through a process of forcible extraction from a living Divine. Originated by the Fabreal Duchy, who were left behind to "attend to" Palisade by the Divine Principality around 5000 years ago, these Delgates were designed and used as slaves. Currently, a Delegate resistance group called Reunion operates out of the fortress Joyous Guard in the Caldera Stretch.

This episode carries content warnings for death, the description of corpses, false memories, illusions, vomiting, and medical experimentation. Where has the crew of the Blue Channel gone? For Eclectic Opposition, the answer is easy, if dire: In the passenger seat of a Baseline-C security vehicle, under the watchful eyes of the Divine Resonance, scrambling for a way out. For the support staff, like Hunting Tomorrow and Partial Palisade, the answer is scanning for the others. And those others? They are so close—under five miles away from the ship's landing zone—yet so, so far. Deep in the Catacombs of Dust. Deeper, still, living new lives, considering what might be, what might have been, and what yet might still come. This week on PALISADE: Seize the Chance Pt. 5 Let loose the wide world that holds you / Scratch through / Your waves linger Dossier People Partial Palisade (he/him): A man who was once a Divine, now living in the shell of a being quite unlike what he once was. Midnite Matinee (she/her): Leporine scout and member of the Blue Channel. She and her trusty Pack-model light AutoHollow Popcorn used to run a repo company, but now are tentatively committed to the Cause and Millennium Break. Elle Evensong (she/they): Elle arrived to Palisade along with the first wave of Devotees, making a name for herself as a cunning combatant and clever commander. She became a poster child for Twilight Mirage's support of Palisade (and, for members of the Dim Liturgy, a prophesied bridge between the past and the future).

Now she is one of the chief propagandists of Millennium Break, turning their struggles (and victories) into novels, screenplays, and other media. Factions Bilateral Intercession: One of two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, comprised by Stels Kesh and Nideo, and lead by the so-called Peaceful Princept, Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh (he/him), who took control of the faction from the Curtain, a secretive intelligence organization with roots in Kesh's ancient spy operations. The “Bilats” are a conservative and reactionary force, aiming to return the Principality to its roots both literally and figuratively. After a long campaign against the Pact of Free States, they managed to take control of Palisade. The Bilateral Intelligence Service: Formerly called the Curtain, the BIS is a Kesh-operated organization which specializes in espionage, subterfuge, and surveillance. Recently removed from power on Palisade Stel Kesh: The oldest established power in the galaxy, built around a stuffy (and secretive) aristocracy. They are tied to the Past. History, knowledge, stubbornness. Stel Nideo: Created the largest faith in the empire, and used that influence to shape (and surveil) mass culture. They are tied to the Present. Faith, coercion, stability. The Frontier Syndicate: A powerful conglomerate with a broad purview, including technology, heavy industry, entertainment, telecommunications, and transportation. Led by Exenceaster March (he/him), the Syndicate betrayed the Pact of Free States and joined the Bilats in order to be part of their colonization efforts on Palisade. The Pact of Free States: One of the two factions vying for leadership of the Principality, a joint operation by Stels Columnar and Apostolos. Led in name by the Glorious Princept, Dahlia (they/them), but operated in day-to-day matters by members of the original Pact of Necessary Venture, including Rye (he/him) and Gallica (she/her). Though they are reformist in some ways, their primary goal is greater autonomy for each Stel, freedom from the legal restraints, taxes, and oversights demanded by the Principality, with additional deregulation to follow downstream. Fabreal Duchy: When the Divine Principality left Palisade nearly 5,000 years ago, they left behind a Duke and his barons as caretakers. In the generations that followed, they ruled as petty tyrants, creating Delegates as their slaves, remaking their bodies into glass and oil, and extending their reach across Palisade's continents. Though they officially report to their handlers in Stel Kesh, recently they have begun to wonder if things were better before the Principality's return to Palisade. Places Diadem Gravtrain: While the vast trench-city on Palisade's equator lays abandoned, Kesh has reactivated its railway via an operations center in the city of Carmathen. Collier: The agricultural world where Thisbe was dug up and eventually sold to mercenaries. A planet that, due to the Farmer's Rebellion, was removed from all Principality maps and effectively abandoned. Became the "breadbasket" of Millennium Break, a farming world to support the revolutionary movement. Divines The Divine Filigree: The instrumentalized operating core of Palisade's extensive GravTrain system. Currently being taken into Dust's catacombs by the affliction's minions.  The Divine Motion (she/her): One of the founding members of the Pact, the necromantic Apostolosian divine once led its infamous retinue, the Black Century, on Partizan. They were defeated and dispersed, turned into part of Kalmeria, during Operation Shackled Sun.  The Divine, Arbitrage (it/its): The amoral machine turned de facto treasurer keeps the Frontier Syndicate a step ahead in all matters of commerce. Sole minter of “glint,” a newly popular currency on Palisade. The Divine Integrity (it/its): Sometimes appearing as an articulated staff or a metallic spine, Integrity integrates itself into its chosen user. Once the two are connected, Integrity becomes a powerful exoskeleton, and supports its user in matters of military and morale. Until being assassinated by Brnine, Dahlia, the Glorious Princept, was the elect of Integrity. The Divine Resonance (it/its): The watchful guardian, doting caregiver, and ardent supporter of Nideo's colonial efforts on Palisade. Asepsis (it/its): The final living remnants of a Divine who pursues its particular vision of purity at the cost of everything else. Kept, studied, and utilized by Captain Kalvin Brnine.  Objects The Broken Spoke: The Figure's bipedal and asymmetrical mech, The Broken Spoke is made of a matte crystaline material that has Russian Sage seemingly sprouting out between its joints. It has stout legs. Its right arm carries a glaive; its left "arm", or what would pass as such, is an oversized cannon with an attached shield. This oversized half of the mech is covered by a flowing cloak. BAC Hatchets: Appearing like fantastical knights made of tooth enamel, the Divine Consecration's latest machine of war, derived from parts recovered from the Divines Felicity and Souciance, buried inside of Chimera's Lantern. The Hatchets wield axes that sport long, weaponized chains running from the bottom of their hafts, and the materials used in their construciton make them sturdier than most front line units. The trio of Hatchets deployed by Stel Nideo to capture the "train brain" are piloted by three brothers: Calamedes, Caspin, and Caydor. Saint: A series of mechs piloted by knights that served the original Crown of Glass, a major power on the pre-Divine Principality-era Twilight Mirage world of Quire.   Mysteries Perennial (she/her):  The Principality's so-called 'adversary,' who lives at the center of the galaxy and whose chaotic whims spread through her "Perennial Wave," an ever-present nanoparticle that has recently bonded with Kalmeria. The Five Afflictions: A group of “monstrous” beings that haunt the dark corners of Palisade. They have been named as follows: Dust a.k.a Pride's Mirror a.k.a. The Looking Glass Refrain a.k.a. Yesterday's Reprise  a.k.a. The Ghastly Chorus Ravel a.k.a. Labyrinth's Thread a.k.a. The Hedge Maze  Cleave a.k.a. Whetstone's Opposite a.k.a. The Sanguine Hatchet  Oversight a.k.a.

“First, wash your hands, and then you may eat.” Sometimes this rule can be really annoying, but we have it for a reason. We wash our hands to minimize contact with pathogenic microorganisms. But imagine how people lived when they had no clue that microbes existed! And that was only a century and a half ago.  Story told by Garrett Tucker.

Standing astride the Diadem, the massive Affliction called Dust first sapped sound from the world and then turned its attention to the train car at the center of a multi-factional chase. Now, in the depths of the ruined megacity, those that fell into the pit awaken. And they awaken in places impossible to predict.

This episode carries content warnings for state surveillance.  The crew of the Blue Channel battles their way towards a train heading east. Inside one of its cars is the Diadem Grav Train control system, a device that could turn the tide of the war on Palisade and grant the Cause a major logistical advantage.

BAC Hatchets: Appearing like fantastical knights made of tooth enamel, the Divine Consecration's latest machine of war, derived from parts recovered from the Divines Felicity and Souciance, buried inside of Chimera's Lantern. The Hatchets wield axes that sport long, weaponized chains running from the bottom of their hafts, and the materials used in their construciton make them sturdier than most front line units. The trio of Hatchets deployed by Stel Nideo to capture the "train brain" are piloted by three brothers: Calamedes, Caspin, and Caydor.

In the city of Carmathen, the Fabreal Duchy has spread itself too thin. Look only at the entrance to the Diadem Grav Train's control center: Once guarded by a full detachment of Stel Kesh's most reliable soldiers. Now, guarded by little more than an honor guard. On a world like Palisade, in a war like this one, it may as well be an invitation. The question is only how many might decide to come calling.

There is, apparently, no time for rest. An opportunity emerges: With Kesh in chaos on the planet and Nideo not yet in proper posture, the Grav Trains which run through the Diadem and which vein across Palisade's continents could be brought under Millennium Break control.

We talk infection control and prevention, and much more in this episode. Learn more at www.OSAP.org.

This episode carries content warnings for distorted and layered vocals (00:30 - 01:10), discussion of workplace injuries, discussion of medical debt, and discussion of slavery and indentured servitude. For three years, the Bilateral Intercession has held Palisade under blockade. The Pact of Free States holds just beyond Nideo space, waiting in the dark for an opportunity to strike. The Qui'Err Coalition's fleet hovers at the edge of the Mirage, a flock around the Brink. Millennium Break's strike force hides in the shadow of Palisade's moon, Travertine.  Something must give. Someone must move.  And that is when Perennial whispers into an ear she's taken as her own, giving the Witch in Glass a new task and reminding her of an old law: Everything that has happened before will happen again.  And so she moves. The Witch in Glass is fearless, and after all, she has two Divines on her side. The revivified corpse of Past and, of course, the Adversary herself. So she leads the Reflecting Pool (and its many attack wings) crashing through the blockade and driving Crystal Palace once more into the ground--albeit in a much more controlled way this time. It is only hours days after making landfall that the Witch departs the city, joined by Emmeline, her attache, but leaving behind her most loyal supporters. She leaves behind two orders: First, that they must turn their wider landing zone into a city worthy of her rule before she returns. Second, that the city must carry the name which came to her as she browsed Past's ruined archives one night, taken from a kingdom that once ruled vast expanses of the Quire desert: the Crown of Glass. And with no further words, she wanders out into the wilderness–everything that has happened before will happen again–leaving behind only a group of the ship's de facto leaders to see to the new city's repairs and re-establishment. This week on the Road to PALISADE: City Planning Department Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage Factions The Bilateral Intercession: This faction, made up primarily from Stel Nideo and Kesh assets, was formerly known as the Curtain. The rebranding comes as part of a “civil coup” performed by Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh. In a move that surprised no group more than the Curtain themselves, Cynosure spent years growing in confidence and power, until that intelligence organization could be once again reduced to a tool. Still defined by their traditionalism, they wield their control on culture, religion, and history as a weapon—and the extensive spy network for which they are named when those come up short. The Pact of Free States: While the Bilateral Intercession's name change reflects a shift in leadership and posture for the Curtain, the shift from “The Pact of Necessary Venture” to “The Pact of Free States” is simply the public acceptance of what was already widely understood to be true. Led in name by Dahlia, the Glorious Princept, and in day-to-day operation by senior members of Stels Apostolos and Columnar, the Pact paint themselves as liberal reformists whose aim is to increase the degree of autonomy in each of the Stels, such that they become in reality five separate nations. Hypha & Ashen: The former were a culture of galactic nomads, guided by a paranatural force called the Strand which they could commune with using technological devices built into their antlers. The latter are their descendants, their routes broken by the Principality's expansions and occupations, their culture ripped from them.  The Branched: A post-human culture from the Golden Branch star sector who have transformed their bodies into spectacular forms, but who are now weighed down by an endless war with the Principality. Persons Apparatus Aperitif (they/them), Shunley Pernard (they/them), Antonina Juris (she/her), Plum Tort (he/him), and Kojack Variety (he/him): The leading council members of the Crown in Glass, the city built from the fallen ship the Reflecting Pool. The Witch in Glass (she/her): A former scion of Kesh who, after knitting a bond with the adversary Perennial, came into control of the body of the Divine Past. Now scours the galaxy for the lost, injured, and unsure, recruiting them into her growing city-state. A shaky ally of Millennium Break. “Haunted” by an old foe. Exanceaster March (he/him): Head of the vast Columnar multi-system conglomerate called the Frontier Syndicate, which is older than the Stel itself. While the Syndicate has its hands in many enterprises, the heart of it all is corralling and instrumentalizing data. One such effort, Exanceaster's pet project the March Anecdatist Foundation, set its sights on Palisade as a testing ground. Locations The Bontive Valley: When the fledgling Divine Principality left Palisade—for reasons unknown by most—those few who refused to leave (unwilling to see themselves become part of a new empire) remained in quiet isolation, blessed by the gifts of the Divine Bounty. Where that Divine is now remains a mystery. Miscellany The Perennial Wave: Perennial is something like a god, or at least I think she imagines she is. Her wave is her arrogant whim, made manifest. Functionally infinite nano-particles, spread throughout the galaxy, hampering all technology except (curiously) Divines.  Kalmeria Particle: A so-called miracle of modern science, providing those that master it power akin to what was wielded before the Perennial Wave. Like most miracles, there is an explanation, but most people have neither the knowledge of nor interest in what it really is or where it came from. Some know that it is named for the rogue engineer Kal'Mera Broun, but few know that it is the result not only of their research into the divine Asepsis, but also the particular consequences of Millennium Break's battle with Motion and her siphoning of so-called “Autonomy Itself.”  Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker)  Featuring Ali Acampora (@ali_west), Janine Hawkins (@bleatingheart), Keith J Carberry (@keithjcarberry), and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) Produced by Ali Acampora and Austin Walker Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot) You can buy City Planning Department right here: https://kaelandm.itch.io/city-plannin...

This episode carries content warnings for mentions of death, poison, discussion of bodily fluids, and slavery. With the Bontive Valley and the Shale Belt behind them, Millennium Break's first arrivals on Palisade find themselves facing their most delicate situation yet. In the arid stretches beyond the Curtain's reach, there rests a fortress named Joyous Guard. Inside lives the previous imperial ruler of this world: Perpetual Lustre, the Duke of Glass. Unwilling to cede the power he claimed to “protect” on behalf of the long-absent Princept, the Duke now lives in exile, attended to by an unctuous court and served by the supposedly leashed “descendents” of Divines known as Delegates. But with Millennium Break newly arrived, for how much longer will this petty tyrant yet cast his shadow over the desert? This week on the Road to PALISADE: Wagon Wheel Pt. 3 Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage Factions The Curtain of Divinity: For generations, the Curtain of Divinity operated in the shadows of the Principality, partly as intelligence agency, partly as shadow government. After the events on Partizan, they were dragged into the daylight, and served as one of the two ruling factions of the whole Principality. But as the years progressed, and Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh, the Peaceful Princept, grew in confidence and skill, the group began a steady transformation and the spies began to return to the shadows… New Earth Hegemony: Long since lost to history, the NEH once claimed the entire center sphere of the Galaxy as their home. Characterized by a neoliberal policies and the deep belief in technological solutions, the nation was key to the slow destruction of the ancient Divine Fleet, a predecessor to the Divine Free States (itself half of the Divine Principality's founding membership).  The Fabreal Duchy: When the nascent Divine Principality left Palisade behind 5000 years ago, they left behind the Fabreal Duchy. At the time, the Duchy was an extension of the Twilight Mirage's technologically powerful artist-kingdom, the Crown of Glass. Whether it was this connection or something else, the Princept at the time believed them to be ideal candidates to remain behind and tend to the Palisade in the Principality's absence.  In time though, these “custodians” refashioned themselves as crystalline royals—quite literally. The bodies of the royals and aristocrats of the duchy are made of strange glass-like material, and their selfhood is actually contained in a colorful oil—produced and maintained by the Divine Unction, which flows through their vessels.  In time, the Duchy expanded its grasp and became the largest single power on the planet. Its peerage—a collection of baronesses, counts, and other nobles who serve under the Duke's whims—are protected by their Saints, a chivalric order of knights who pilot hollows of smaller design than those of the Principality, and served by a large number of  “Delegates.” enslaved slivers from DIvines long since vanished.  Before the Principality arrived on Palisade again, Perpetual Lustre, the Duke of Glass led the duchy. But when he refused to submit to the will of the newly arrived Viceroy, his vassals saw opportunity and betrayed him.  Now he lives exiled at the edge of the desert.   Persons Ce Gull (they/he): A scout who grew up on a Nidean outpost and joined up with Millennium Break after their home was destroyed by Stel Orio. They're working on their skills as a gardener. Caeso Wair (he/him): A horse, a cannon, a quiet confidence. There are many ways to be a cowboy. The News of Her Arrival Flowed Between the People of the Village Like ⸢Wine⸣, Rich and Intoxicating (they/them): “Excerpt” of the seemingly absence Divine, Bounty. Excerpts are, of course, like Elects or Candidates before them, except they're egotistical enough that they have to think of themselves as priests instead of pilots. Broadleaf (he/him): A musician and aspiring chef who towers above others in an elephantine frame. Perhaps you might call him the heart of this crew. A dreamer, for sure. Perpetual Lustre, the Duke of Glass (he/him): Exiled erstwhile leader of the Fabreal Duchy, now residing in Joyous Guard. Bright Mercy (she/her): Delegate serving Perpetual Lustre as court attendant of Joyous Guard.. August Righteousness (he/they): Delegate serving as court chef of Joyous Guard. Secretly operates a Delegate resistance movement. Tzion Archana (he/him): A Concretist mechanic and technician. Very savvy. Gastone Ol'D'Cassino (he/him): The shady owner of Braunton's casino.  Locations The Bontive Valley: When the fledgling Divine Principality left Palisade—for reasons unknown by most—those few who refused to leave (unwilling to see themselves become part of a new empire) remained in quiet isolation, blessed by the gifts of the Divine Bounty. Where that Divine is now remains a mystery. Eversin: A small town in the Bontive Valley under Curtain occupation. Shale Belt: On the world of Moonlock, deep in the Twilight Mirage, an industrial accident altered a the respiratory needs of one group of colonists, requiring them (and their descendents) to breathe in special particulates emanated from the town's unique construction materials.

Delegates: Oh what a fun and failed experiment these pathetic beings are. In its earliest days, before the Principality learned how to use Gumption's unique talents to keep Divines from finding permanent death, they attempted instead to carve us down into little slivers of ourselves. Did they think they were slicing butter, I wonder? Did they not understand that we are not content but process? Not numbers, but formula? That we exist in a sort of algorithmic concentrate, and that to shave away a part drastically changes the whole that is produced by our very being? Apparently not, since they tried this inevitable mistake anyway.  These “Delegates” are the result, and they are not charmless, despite being abominations. They carry some of our cleverness and commitment and power in those ugly, humanoid frames, and bear (I admit) some resemblance to the Divines from which they were, in their strange way, spawned. Their names reflect this: Gentle Influence, Cruel Emphasis, Limited Dissent—and yes, they are thus tempered forms of what the Divine once was.  There will, of course, never be a “Moderate Arbitrage” or any such nonsense, I will assure this.

The members of Millenium Break continue to investigate the world of Palisade, trying to build relationships across the communities of Eversin and Braunton. In the former, they learn that offers of direct help may not always be easily accepted by those in the sights of an occupation. In the latter, they learn that direct occupation is not always necessary for an empire's reach to be felt. And in both, they come to understand the importance of local culture (basketball) and social ritual (potluck dinner) when it comes to building a movement.  This week on the Road to PALISADE: Wagon Wheel Pt. 2 Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage Factions The Curtain of Divinity: For generations, the Curtain of Divinity operated in the shadows of the Principality, partly as intelligence agency, partly as shadow government.

This episode carries content warnings for mentions of violence, death, and colonization.  With the road paved by Misericorde and the NIdean forces which capitalized on his duel with the Apostolosian hero Cor'rina Corrine, the Curtain began to move their forces down onto Palisade proper. Within weeks, Kesh and Nidean forces had spread across most of the major, obvious settlements on the small planet. Within months, the people of Palisade were rallying, preparing to fight back, and making connections beyond their world. ⸢Wine⸣, the Excerpt of the Divine Bounty, whose presence on Palisade had been lost to history, took a small ship and sought aid from the only group proven to reliably bloody the Principality's nose: Millennium Break.

This episode carries content warnings for violence, death, and colonization.  For the first few years of the war, those in the central depths of Nideo space felt safe. In order to reach them, the Pact would first have to push through an unthinkable amount of territory—much of it well defended. What they did not expect was an Apostolosian sneak attack arriving through the deep space that separates two galactic arms. And when they arrived, it was not simply an invasion. It was an invitation to a morbid race: Who would conquer Palisade—and the Twilight Mirage Beyond—first.  At the forefront of this conflict, two pilots arose. This is their story. This week on the Road to Palisade: Last Shooting Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage Factions Stel Nideo: WIth origins in the long lost Twilight Mirage, Stel Nideo are architects of our current era, dread controllers of the Present. Along with shaping mass media, popular culture, and educational standards, they now operate both Received and Progressive Asterism, the former run by the corrupt Cycle and the latter by the grotesque puppet of the lost prophet Gur Sevraq. These priests, pop idols, and patriotic poster children are largely aligned with the Curtain of Divinity. Stel Orion: For hundreds of thousands of years, Stel Orion—under countless names and forms—has repeated a cycle of exploitation and revolution. Competing spirits of individualism and camaraderie ebb and flow, but industry remains. Is it any wonder that it remains associated with the raw breadth of Space itself? Currently, Orion is at war with itself, with countless small factions not only differing in position on the larger civil war in the Principality, but also on many additional issues like wealth, religion, and culture. Stel Apostolos: An ancient people, ever obsessed with external conquest and internal freedom, and utterly uninterested in understanding their own contradictions. They are dedicated to the pursuit of forward Motion, and I suppose I can respect such bullheaded devotion. It is, at the very least, not boring. They are the meat and muscle of the Pact of Necessary Venture. The Curtain of Divinity: For generations, the Curtain of Divinity operated in the shadows of the Principality, partly as intelligence agency, partly as shadow government. Now they have been dragged into the daylight, and serve as one of the two ruling factions of the whole Principality. Though there are some divisions along questions of secularity, humanism, and cultural taste, in general, leaders of the Curtain are conservative, traditionalist, and nationalistic. They seek the reunification of all five Stels and the permanence of the Divine Principality. Led, in public at least, by Cynosure Whitestar-Kesh, the Peaceful Princept. In fact, the Curtain has five divisions, each led by a ruthless individual known only by a codename: Silk (diplomacy), Damask (research & inquisition), Lace (military), Linen (economics), and Gabardine (espionage and collaboration). The Pact of Necessary Venture: As their (current) name suggests, the Pact began as a cooperative exploratory committee founded in the late 14th Century of the Perfect Millennium. They sought new territory to conquer, breaking an old taboo in the process, and inviting destruction and fracture. Which is appropriate, as their vision for the future is one where each Stel is granted more autonomy and independence—some even claim that they would see the Principality utterly destroyed and replaced by a loose affiliation of free states.  Despite this, the Pact are no radicals: While they want more independence from the Principality, they have little interest in shaking up the internal power structures of the Stels themselves. After all, their founders were all Elects, and though only two remain (Gallica, elect of the Divine Present, and Rye, elect of the divine Space), they are led by Dahlia, who serves as both Apokine and Glorious Princept. Persons Cor'rina Corrine (cor/cors): Drawing cor root name for the Eidolon Corridor, a famed Apostolosian peace maker, is it any wonder that Cor'rina Corrine, ace pilot of the Pact's forces near Palisade, is a naive idealist?  Misericorde 'Miseri' (he/they): Heir to a disgraced family who sided with the rebellious Sovereign Immunity once known as The Farmer. Seeks to restore his family's name by any means necessary. Dahlia (they/them): The self-proclaimed “Glorious Princept” and Apokine of Apostolos has the support of the Pact of Venture, yet seems more concerned with winning the war against the Branched than attending to the civil war inside of the Principality. Dahlia is the elect not only of Integrity but also Commitment. A feat, a folly, or both? Locations The Skarnoc Debris Fields: The remnants of a battle from the era before the Twilight Mirage, where the Rapid Evening fought and lost the Divine Nobility. Besides the normal ship debris, the field has gathered strange crystalline spires. Articles The Portcullis System & The Divine Space: Huge, distended hexagonal gates that float at the edge of key systems throughout the Principality. Once a week—or more often, if one has the keys to the kingdom—each one connects to one other, forming a faster-than-light highway that serves as the logistical backbone of the galaxy. Built by Orion, the technology is a perversion of that used by some of the earliest Divines, tens of thousands of years.  Miscellany The Perennial Wave: Perennial is something like a god, or at least I think she imagines she is. Her wave is her arrogant whim, made manifest. Functionally infinite nano-particles, spread throughout the galaxy, hampering all technology except (curiously) Divines.  Kalmeria Particle: A so-called miracle of modern science, providing those that master it power akin to what was wielded before the Perennial Wave. Like most miracles, there is an explanation, but most people have neither the knowledge of nor interest in what it really is or where it came from. Some know that it is named for the rogue engineer Kal'Mera Broun, but few know that it is the result not only of their research into the divine Asepsis, but also the particular consequences of Millennium Break's battle with Motion and her siphoning of so-called “Autonomy Itself.”  Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) and Sylvia Clare Produced by Ali Acampora (@ali_west), Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot) You can purchase Last Shooting at https://my-name-is-grant.itch.io/last-shooting 

This episode carries content warnings for violence, displacement, insects, and a  brief description of a corpse.  The Divine Fealty knew what they had seen instantly, identifying it in something before or beyond language. Appropriate, since the Twilight Mirage, once its home, had always been more than just a simple place or a proper noun. It did not matter if their elect, Veronique, could understand what they'd seen in this way, only that she would support Fealty in what must be done. And so, an escape. And so, a kingdom among debris. And so, a kidnapping. And so, a confrontation between Divines. Now wounded, the two Anchors float back in the direction they came from, drawing ever closer to the purple dot in the distance.    This week on Friends at the Table: The Road to PALISADE: HOUNDs Pt. 2 Records Recovered from the Divine, Arbitrage Factions The Divine Principality: Stitched together thousands of years ago from the remains of the Divine Free States and the Principality of Kesh, it is largest empire in the history of the MIlky Way Galaxy. Even now, divided against itself, any subdivision of its arms stretches further than any kingdom or confederation ever has before. An utter failure.  Stel Kesh: Among the oldest operating powers in the stars. Devoted to the Past even though they've long lost control of the Divine who shares its name. Snobbish historians, ineffective parliamentarians, and stubborn reactionaries. Kesh is generally aligned with the Curtain of Divinity.  Stel Nideo: WIth origins in the long lost Twilight Mirage, Stel Nideo are architects of our current era, dread controllers of the Present. Along with shaping mass media, popular culture, and educational standards, they now operate both Received and Progressive Asterism, the former run by the corrupt Cycle and the latter by the grotesque puppet of the lost prophet Gur Sevraq.

Currently, Orion is at war with itself, with countless small factions not only differing in position on the larger civil war in the Principality, but also on many additional issues like wealth, religion, and culture. Stel Columnar: Famously “courted” by the growing Principality many generations ago, this nation of humanoid synthetics traded freedom for the prestige and security of the Principality. They hid behind imperial walls and pursued the Future, pushing boundaries not only in technology, but in art, commerce, and war. I suppose I can call them cousins, but not with much fondness. Today, they share righteous screeds and fight for the return of something like democracy as part of the Pact of Necessary Venture. What a comedy.  Stel Apostolos: An ancient people, ever obsessed with external conquest and internal freedom, and utterly uninterested in understanding their own contradictions.

When we provide for ourselves, we can provide for others. We will not turn our back on allies in need. If we must play their game, make sure to bloody their noses. When we reach the edge, we will Leap. Look sick as shit.  The words of children. Persons Veronique (she/they): Elect of Fealty. A loyalist. A protector. A runner, in a previous life.

Now she simply calls herself one of the MIllennium Break's commanders, albeit through gritted teeth. Conviction (she/her) & Amaryllis (they/them): Conviction is among the proudest of all Kesh Divines, a caped, golden, horse-knight who speaks with absolute confidence. Their elect, Amaryllis, spent years in the shadow of Veronique, their junior in all things. Until now, of course.

This episode carries content warnings for violence, abduction, and risk of suffocation.  Welcome to the Road to PALISADE, an interlude connecting PARTIZAN to PALISADE, our upcoming season (which will be played in Armour Astir: Advent by Briar Sovereign)!  Unlike 2019's Road to PARTIZAN, please know that this season will likely contain broad spoilers for COUNTER/Weight, Twilight Mirage, and COUNTER/Weight. In many ways, we see both the Road to PALISADE and PALISADE itself as opportunities to weave many important threads from the Divine Cycle together. Another way in which this interlude season is different from the Road to PARTIZAN is that we aren't necessarily telling a linear history from point A to point B. While many key points on the five years separating the two seasons will be hit, the Road to PALISADE is intended to be less of a direct history and more of a series of snapshots, capturing events happening as the Principality's civil war continues.  As a fun note, all of the stories we play this interlude season are generally inspired by the cast's answers to Crunchyroll writer Adam Wescott's question about what sort of PZN spinoff we'd all want to do! There are (thus far) two exceptions, and this episode is the first of those. When I first read Tyler Crumrine's HOUNDs, I knew instantly that this was how I wanted to kick things off. And as you'll see, Jack and Art proved that it was the right decision.  Okay, given how long this particular Road is going to be—it's still in production as this first episode hits the main feed—I better shut up and let you get on with listening.

Some know that it is named for the rogue engineer Kal'Mera Broun, but phew know that it is the result not only of their research into the divine Asepsis, but also the particular consequences of Millennium Break's battle with Motion and her siphoning of so-called “Autonomy Itself.” Hosted by Austin Walker (@austin_walker) Featuring Art Martinez-Tebbel (@atebbel) and Jack de Quidt Produced by Ali Acampora (@ali_west) Music by Jack de Quidt (available on bandcamp) Text by Austin Walker Cover Art by Craig Sheldon (@shoddyrobot)

We take a detailed look at Admission, Discharge, Transfer, Asepsis, infection control, fire safety, falls, seclusion, and restraints.

With its internal threats sorted, at least for now, Millennium Break’s de facto leaders shift the bulk of their attention outward. As rebellion is sparked across Partizan, a new question takes center stage: If Millennium Break wants to lead this revolutionary moment, does it need to step out into the light of day? Who can they save if they take this risk? And who do they put in harms way if they refuse to rise to the challenge? As a dire situation develops in the Memoria Teardrop, it becomes clear that these are not hypothetical questions. A decision must be made. This week on PARTIZAN: Breaking Vigil ///Operation Dossier //Organizations The Vigil City Equiaxed Commune: Across Columnar space, the Equiaxed--a culture of people who augment their synthetic frames with living, organic materials for a variety of reasons--are persecuted, outlawed, arrested, and even experimented on. One way that this vulnerable and targeted group has found some peace is to live together in communal living spaces, where they can support each other emotionally and materially, sharing skills, resources, and information.  One such group is the Commune at Vigil City, which is located towards the Northern edge of the city’s reaches. There is a massive cavern underneath a dreary office park, and the structures that stretch above also delve below. It is a vertically-hanging housing project, each tower a stalactite filled with lives. And around it all, shimmering memoria like one thousand thousand eyes in the dark: A resource that Stel Columnar would do anything to get hold of. 301st Appraisal Unit:  Before the Columnar commits the resources necessary to take something for their own, this small reconnaissance unit comprised of soldiers, engineers, and academics needs to find it The Church of the Resin Heart: A Disciples of Logos church on Partizan which claims to be the true inheritor of the prophet’s religious mission. The “resin heart” in question is a 3-foot large object pulled from the sea 400+ years ago and displayed as a relic by the Church. It was originally part of the Exemplar. Millennium Break: Dissidents, idealogues, rebels, and mercenaries launch a revolution from a state-of-the-art mobile fortress. They agree on little, except this: It is time for a new Millennium. Strand Semaphore: Using ancient Hyphan technology, this messenger service is able to send text-based communications to anywhere on-moon, so long as they’ve built an outpost there. Lambic House: A group of beer-brewing monks who both operate a brewery and manage a sizable civilian settlement deep in the mountains of the Pique Ridge. Part of the Shepherd’s Crook. HORIZON: In the popular consciousness, HORIZON is a radical, anti-Principality terrorist organization. In actuality, they are a radical-reformist group, which seeks to drive out what it perceives as corruption in an empire that ought be pursuing noble (instead of selfish) ends. Rumored to be funded by Stel Kesh’s House Brightline. The Mysteries Metronomica/ “Metronomica”/“The Cult of Perennial”: Guided by the paradoxical belief in historical cycles and radical freedom, the Isles of Logos offers this faith of the Adversary, Perennial, perhaps the only safe ground in the entire galaxy.  The Red Fennecs: Technically, the Red Fennecs are an Apostolosian logistics and transport squad. In actuality, they’re utilized by their commanding officer, Tes’ili Serikos, as the backbone of a humble smuggling operation.  The Sable Court: Some say that on dark nights, they have seen these Ashen witches on the eastern edge of Lake Timea, horns and antlers glittering in the light of Girandole. Some even say that a former elect walks among them. Heresy, all of it.  Company of the Spade: A veteran mercenary unit founded by space miners who learned how to pilot Hollows in the most dangerous of settings. They’ve been brought to Partizan to combine both types of expertise. The Oxblood Clan: What started as a group of orphans turned into a labor guild and criminal enterprise with connections across Partizan. Occasionally run rough-and-tumble military ops for extra cash. Allies with SBBR. //People Kenzington “Kenzi” Be (she/her): Commanding Officer of the Columnar 301st Appraisal Unit. Has legs that can fold down into tank treds--in some ways, she looks like the humanoid version of Broun’s mech, the Three Cheers! Has a long oval torso and a totally spherical head with dozens of cameras on it that sort of extends from her torso. Quintessence “Tessence” Rey (he/him): A young member of the secret Equiaxed commune in Vigil City, Tessence is the community’s only remaining military defender. In his custom Kosmos unit, he has helped defend his family and friends from Columnar aggression numerous times. He did, however, have a card up his sleeve: An EDICT system, kept in operating condition since the time of the Divine Clash, through a combination of cleverness, effort, and good luck. Apparatus Aperitif (they/them): Logos City, the largest independent city on Partizan, is known as a religious center, but its robotic night mayor ensures that everyone has a good time at the end of their time traveling the Prophet’s Path. Representative of the Mysteries Metronomica onboard Icebreaker Prime. Gur Sevraq (he/them): Leader of the Church of the Resin Heart. Miracle worker. Currently on board Icebreaker Prime. Has possession of the Divine Future, which gives them startling prescience and the ability to imagine futures outside of the confines of the hegemonic and imperialist world around him.  Si’dra Balos (Si/Si’s, they/them): During their time in a communications division of the Apostolosian Navy, Si’dra saw the cost of war first hand. Now they dream of a world where people can connect instead of fight. Tes’ili Serikos (they/them, tes/tes’): This Apostolosian transport specialist, black marketeer, and Tes’ili Serikos can get just about anything just about anywhere, for a price. Short, round, fuzzy, and good natured… unless you screw tes over.  The Blossom (he/him): The Lambic House is just supposed to make beer, sell it around the world, and keep people happy. But with each keg delivered by the sect’s Abbot of Provision, the Blossom also serves a short, populist whisper. Zo’la (zo/zo’s, they/them): As a projection artists, Zo’la seeks to create a cinematic work that captures the dynamic spirit of this historical moment. Born to Columnar, then drawn to the Apostlosian ideology of Dynamism (which values speed, change, and violence above all else. A wildcard and a vanguard. Friends with Gucci Garantine, despite having spent time on opposite sides of the Kesh/Apostolos war. Agon Ortlights (she/her): Aided by her servicebot companions, Agon worked hard to attain the rank of lieutenant in the Company of the Spade, where she’s become a veteren mercenary, a skilled miner, and a hell of a drinking buddy.  A.O. Rooke (he/him): Former Stel Orion mercenary, now commander of the Rapid Evening’s “toughs” squad. Eiden Teak (he/him): Soldier and commander in the Sable Court. Wears the wounds of past fights on him with a distinct sort of pride, inherited from his time fighting as an Apostolosian soldier: He’s missing right leg under the knee, and a number of his antlers have been snapped and broken. Wears loose olive drab fatigues, marked the occult insignia and wards of the Court.  Mourningbride (she/her): An initiate in the Sable Court, and a former Elect.  Alise Breka (she/her): Guest lecturer at Verglaz University and Author of popular Renegade Hearts pulp series, which tells stories of daring and romantic Hallow pilots. On Partizan to research her next book, partly by interviewing the imprisoned pirate Exeter Leap. //Places The Memoria Teardrop: A range of mountains and high plains, dense with mineral resources. Named for “memoria,” a rare precious material with a high, natural storage capacity.  Vigil City: The capital city of Stel Columnar on Partizan. Sits on the southern end of the “Teardrop" on a high plateau. The densest city on Partizan, Vigil City is also the most automated city on the moon. The Prophet’s Sea: A massive ocean that dominates the center of most maps of Partizan. It is said that the sea was made by the prophet Logos Kantel in their first miracle, after walking the length of its radius and climbing a set of hills that would soon become islands. Marengo: Oxbridge’s biggest rival to the far west of Orion territory, Marengo borders the Prophet’s Path and because of that has been favored by three groups: faithful hoping to draw on the strength of passing pilgrims; traders eager to take tourist coin; and criminals who like the proximity of uncontrolled territory. Auspice: A seaside city in the Prophet’s Path north of Marengo (which it is smaller than) and south of Obelle (which it dwarfs). Auspice is the final destination of the land travel portion of the yearly pilgrimage led by the Church of the Resin Heart. Resting on a landmass that appears on a map to be a finger pointing eastward, it has become a coastal refuge for members of Millennium Break. //Divines The Divine Asepsis: Vigil City is the densest urban settlement on the moon, and yet, every morning, it is spotless. Give thanks to Asepsis’ swarm of robotic servants. //Things Icebreaker Prime: A massive arsenal, garrison, airfield, and a firebase all rolled into one. Icebreaker Prime is a rumbling carrier which prowls land and sea, armed with innumerable weapons and potentially housing over ten thousand soldiers. Currently, Icebreaker Prime is under the command of Clementine Kesh and the Rapid Evening, and is hidden in the most unperturbed waters of the Prophet’s Sea. Zugzwang: The state of play in Chess when one play is forced to make moves to their own disadvantage. EDICT System: The Electronic Divine Interface and Control Technology System was originally deployed during the Divine Clash, over 2400 years ago. Requires a great deal of power to activate, and needs to be transported by multiple large trucks, but when it is used, it can badly disrupt Divine activity--at least most of the time. There are many theories as to which Divines are affected and why, with many believing it is determined by provenance or era of Divine, some internal system of the EDICT itself, or even the current condition of the Perennial Wave.   AdArm Troop: Designed by The de facto “grunt” mech of the Divine Principality. 55~  feet tall bipedal hollow, mid sized but bulky in aesthetic. Blocky, visible cabling. Head is a rectangular unit (with a long, flat LED-lit single “eye”) that functions as a sensor suite, and attached to its right (above the shoulder) is a heavy cannon. Left arm has actuator/clasper, right has bayonet. Panther: An ancient mech once piloted by a near mythological hero of a war barely remembered. Medium sized, black, humanoid, angular, and birdlike in some elements of its design. In another life, it could split itself up into independently flying microwings, each of which could serve as a flanking weapon. Its current pilot can not conceive of using it in this way. Formerly piloted by Clementine Kesh. Blessed by Future. Three Cheers!: Kal’mera Broun’s hollow, a heavily modified Adamant Arms and Artifice (aka AdArm) machine. Humanoid with the ability to take a mobility form. Equipped for long range volleying. Easily removable/replaceable plates with non-standard rivets. Heads Up: Exeter Leap’s hallow, a re-fitted Emergentec Rapid Response Type III Breaching Ambulance which he has converted for criminal purposes. Large cylindrical legs taper upwards towards the head. Armored fists and a back mounted mortar. Blessed by Future. Mow: A recovered Zenith-A Project Eudaimonia prototype model. The build of a gorilla, quadrupedal & topheavy, a saddle horn-like addition on the back, battered but lovingly maintained. Stray Dog: Million’s hollow, a Zenith-A Project Katalepsis prototype model, stolen when she went AWOL from GLORY. Medium-sized and humanoid in base shape, but able to rearrange its body to accommodate the rail gun built into the torso and left arm. Each limb is double jointed with sleek black and silver plating. There is only one glowing eye on the head, which houses the Stray Dog's aiming systems and pilot. Blessed by Future. Transgress Oblige: The hollow of Gucci Garantine, and a chief symbol of the terrorist organization Horizon. Whitesmoke color body, with the torso, shoulders, and upper arms covered in a sort of secondary armor layer that is blue with gold flourishes. Carries a bazooka and a pair of beam partizan (with a golden beam blade) which can retract into a beam saber. Below the blue armor layer is a secondary core, made of some sort of rare crystal: When revealed, those that see it are struck by the power and magnificence of humanity itself.  Hippocampus: Valence’s hollow, an AdArm Prototype Loveliness. A small, ovoid cockpit that has two "chicken legs" attached to it. Helicopter blades fold out from inside the cockpit and onto the top of the mech to give it basic flight.  Old Glory: Sovereign Immunity’s hallow, a modified Singh Sisters Wheel Service & Heavy Industry Ltd. “Deltoid” model. Used for rapid agricultural construction, able to create small shelters in minutes, and large modular structures in a matter of hours instead of days. Able to rapidly create barricades with large construction panels. Wields a spike-planting gun and a scythe, the latter of which was appropriated from an agricultural hollow. Once featured the icon of the Shepherd’s Crook, but this was melted by a flamethrower, then removed, leaving behind the negative space of the symbol instead of a scorch mark. Blessed by Future. //Additional Notes Crossroads Crossroad #1: Will The Kingdom allow civilian refugees to live on Icebreaker Prime? Crossroad #2: Will the Kingdom rob the surreptitious Columnar and Orion arms shipments in order to address our resource problem? Crossroad #3: Will the Kingdom hold elections? Crossroad #4: Will the Kingdom put counterrevolutionaries on trial? Crossroad #5: Will The Kingdom accept the aid of the Pact of Necessary Venture in the form of a secure island, from which MB can expand their operation and farm food safe from the crisis? Crossroad #6: Will The Kingdom invade Vigil City in order to rescue the Equiaxed Commune there? The Millenium Break Manifesto We will help those displaced by the war on Partizan We will claim supplies only when it adds losses to the ledgers of the unjust. Free and Fair elections will be held every two years. Burn thrones, build tables. When we provide for ourselves, we can provide for others. Character Bonds Valence: I feel the uncomfortable draw of the unknown from Apparatus, but must keep focus on the revolution and the way of God. An overindulgence of curiosity would sidetrack me. Apparatus: Gur Sevraq has always been a bit of a Day Mayor. I hope he has not gotten too used to the light. Gur Sevraq: Milli is right to distrust all who seek to direct her power, but she ought fight for those who share her dreams yet lack her strength.  Milli: Sovereign Immunity's connections could get us out of prison. I need to make sure this summit doesn't make him forget that. SI: This is the moment Clementine must show her mettle as a leader. If she is truly a frivolous child I will find someone better. Clem: United, Gucci and I could be a powerful force for Kesh, with me at its head. Her misplaced egalitarianism, however, is a problem. Gucci: Broun knows how to get things done and I know what they want in return. But there’s a difference between service and loyalty, and I don’t know when or where they’ll draw that line. Broun: I need Valence to keep their promise to me but I don’t believe they can.

Welcome to The Official OSAP Podcast with Michelle Lee, where each week Michelle, the Executive Director of OSAP (Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention), will be bringing you infection control tips and information to make you a safer practicing clinician. In this first episode, the only one in the series without a guest, Michelle provides an overview of OSAP and offers a glimpse into what listeners can expect to learn in future episodes.   Episode Highlights: The inspiration provided by the ‘A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast' The important role that OSAP plays in dentistry Topics that will be covered in upcoming episodes Quotes: “OSAP has access to great subject matter experts in dental infection prevention and patient safety.” “There is a lot that I still need to learn, so I will ask the questions that you many of you want to know.”  “In many ways I believe we've been dentistry's best kept secret.” “Oh my goodness, the arguments that are happening out there in the Facebook world about ‘paper up' or ‘paper down'!” “Let's work together to make every dental visit a safe dental visit.”   Links: The Dental Podcast Network Channel One homepage: http://dentalpodcastnetworkchannelone.otcpn.libsynpro.com/ The Dental Podcast Network Channel Two homepage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dental-podcast-networks-channel-two/id1478530429 OSAP's homepage: https://www.osap.org/ A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast homepage:  https://offthecusppodcast.libsyn.com/ Michelle Lee's email: mlee@osap.org

Before Cymbidium died, he asked the labor machine Thisbe, whose deerlike design drew from the form of his own people’s, for a favor: Deliver a final message to Mourningbride, initiate of the occult group the Sable Court and former Elect. On hearing about this goal, Thisbe’s squad members Broun and Valence encourage her to pursue it, and travel with her deep into Columnar territory to meet with the Hyphan witches of the forest. But when they arrive, they find a less welcoming host than expected... This week on PARTIZAN: Ambush in the Sand ///Operation Dossier //Organizations Stel Columnar: A fence-sitting democracy, made up largely of synthetics on the cutting edge of technology, art, politics, and war. They are tied to the Future. Innovation, style, cowardice. The Sable Court: Some say that on dark nights, they have seen these Ashen witches on the eastern edge of Lake Timea, horns and antlers glittering in the light of Girandole. Some even say that a former elect walks among them. Heresy, all of it.  301st Appraisal Unit:  Before the Columnar commits the resources necessary to take something for their own, this small reconnaissance unit comprised of soldiers, engineers, and academics needs to find it 21st Voluntary Composite Division: Unlike most other Stels, Columnar doesn’t segregate Hallow and Hollow units, and instead assigns Hallow pilots to officer roles in combined arms divisions like this one. Strand Semaphore: Using ancient Hyphan technology, this messenger service is able to send text-based communications to anywhere on-moon, so long as they’ve built an outpost there. //People Mourningbride (she/her): An initiate in the Sable Court, and a former Elect.  Cymbidium (he/him): The deceased Elect of the Divine Past. Gave Thisbe a message to deliver to Mourningbride. Kenzington “Kenzi” Be (she/her): Commanding Officer of the Columnar 301st Appraisal Unit. Has legs that can fold down into tank treds--in some ways, she looks like the humanoid version of Broun’s mech, the Three Cheers! Has a long oval torso and a totally spherical head with dozens of cameras on it that sort of extends from her torso. Cobra Junction (he/him): Humanoid pilot in a flashy, vinyl bomber jacket with gold stripes and is often “smoking” synthetic cigars. This facade reflects an insecurity, as Cobra’s initial assignment was due to his geological expertise, not his aptitude as a pilot. Dina Dash (they/them): Wheeled synthetic who carries a clipboard and has magnification lenses that can independently move lower in front of their optics. //Places The Memoria Teardrop: A range of mountains and high plains, dense with mineral resources. Named for “memoria,” a rare precious material with a high, natural storage capacity.  Vigil City: The capital city of of Columnar on Partizan. Sits on the southern end of the “Teardrop" on a high plateau. The densest city on Partizan, Vigil City is also the most automated city on the moon. Lake Timea: A small lake to the north of the Memoria Teardrop, surrounded on the north side by a dense forest. Home to the Sable Court. Red Soil: A small beach on the northern side of Lake Timea //Things The Perennial Wave: Invisible to the naked eye, the Perennial Wave is made up of a seemingly endless amount of nanomachines which flow out from the center of the galaxy and which deactivate or destroy complex machines and electronics. At any moment, the Wave can be at various degrees of density, which are colloquially referred to as “high tide” and “low tide.” Bing 32: Broun’s floating, cat sized drone able to use a variety of tools. Sable Wards: Through a combination of Memoria and control over the Perennial Wave, the Sable Court is able to create simple, seemingly-invisible wards that alert them of intruders. Zenith-A Kathēkon: Often affectionately called “Cathies” by Apostolosian pilots, these medium sized, humanoid mechs were originally designed to be the Zenith Fund’s answer to the Troop. Specially built for Apostolosian needs (including night, underwater, and orbital combat), the Kathekon is a flexible fighting platform with fully articulating hands, advanced imaging, and jumpjets designed to allow low, fast horizontal hops. While the Troop still makes up the bulk of the Apostolosian hollow forces, you’ll often find Cathies deployed on special ops missions or by unit commanders. Their dark green color, bulbous armor, and large orange “eyes” give them an amphibious look--which is (part of) the reason behind Kesh soldiers referring to their Apostolosian foes as “frogs.” Zenith-C Wedge: Kathekons recolored in the dark blue and gold of Stel Columnar, and maintained with much higher quality (and experimental) materials. Unlike the Kathekon for Apostolos, the Wedge does make up the bulk of the “frontline” hollow squads, and provide security for more vulnerable hollows (and support for more powerful ones). These have flexible armaments. In this case: One wields a flamethrower and an electro-net launcher and one has a heavy machinegun. Both have weaponized, hollow sized chainsaws, as well. Zenith-C Obscura:  Wide shoulders that lead down to treaded legs. Can launch dozens of drones into the air for reconnaissance and observation, which will quickly locate anything nearby, but must remain stationery to do that. Can launch micro missiles at locked targets, has small vulcans for infantry and small armored counter attack--does little to close range mechs. The Divine Asepsis: Vigil City is the densest urban settlement on the moon, and yet, every morning, it is spotless. Give thanks to Asepsis’ swarm of robotic servants. The Divine Vernacular: Sometimes a divine wields a blade, incomparable in sharpness. Sometimes, as in this Stel Nideo divine, it allows thousands to speak instantly, at distance. You decide which is more frightening. //Additional Notes SBBR’s Mission Objectives Drive the 301st away from the the path towards the Sable Court. Secondary objective: Capture their equipment.  Rules of Engagement: Do not trigger any of the Sable Wards which have been placed. 

Live from the Benco booth at the GNYDM 2019, Rob and Paul chat with Denise Sabol and Michelle Lee of The Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention about the importance of infection control education, the importance of leadership in training and fostering a culture of safety in a dental practice, strategies for integrating infection control training in a dental practice and how it comes into play in dental practice transitions. They also chat about strategies to integrate infection control training into a dental practice. The Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention ("OSAP") is a dental association dedicated to infection control education.

We continue the achievements of Joseph Lister, who continues to innovate upon carbolic acid for literally decades. It takes time, but eventually a lot of other surgeons come around to his ideas, unlocking new possibilities for surgical procedures. Eventually, those evolve even further into aseptic methods, just keeping bacteria away instead of killing them, many of which we still use today.

Andrew and Michelle recently discussed infection and contagion control at length with their last trio of roundtable guests, one of who was kind enough to return and chat further about an organization that makes patient safety in the office a top priority. Michelle Lee is the executive director of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP), a body that advocates for safe and clean oral healthcare. Michelle and OSAP work with dental professionals to ensure that patients receiving oral and orthodontic treatment have little to no risk of catching infections or anything contagious. In this episode, Michelle breaks down the differences between OSAP, OSHA and the CDC, explains OSAP's surprising relationship with the armed forces, and takes a close look at the various risks infection poses to all areas of dentistry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts:  - What is OSAP, what role does Michelle play in the organization, and how does it differ from OSHA? - What kinds of organizations and people make up OSAP's rank and file? - Michelle discusses some of the issues OSAP is focusing on right now and what kinds of events they arrange. - The reason there's a surprisingly high presence of military members at OSAP's boot camps. - Michelle explains the Dental Assistant National Board (DANB) and how they've recently partnered with OSAP. - How you can keep updated with OSAP via social media and where you can go to ask any questions you may have.  - The extra challenges posed by mobile dental units for infection control.   QUOTES: “There's a lot more to infection control than just employee safety.” “We don't want to be exclusive; we want that message out there to all dental professionals.” “We can all work together and help build up each other's associations.” “We want to make patients realize we're there to take care of them and make their lives better.”   LINKS: OSAP homepage - https://www.osap.org/ Michelle's email: mlee@osap.org   Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!

When your job requires you to get right up close and personal to a patient's mouth, you need to really get on top of your cleanliness game—especially before you graduate and start your career as a hygienist. So, to that end, we've brought on three veterans of the dental industry who specialize in keeping the hygienist's workspace as healthy as possible for patient and professional alike. Emily Boge, RDH, is the dental administrative chair at Hawkeye Community College and a product innovator with American Eagle Instruments. Joy Void-Holmes is also a dental hygienist and serves part-time on the faculty of Fortis College. Michelle Lee is the executive director of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP), a body that advocates for safe and clean oral healthcare. In this episode, our guests discuss which bad sanitary habits you need to ditch before entering the workforce, explain how you can become certified in infection control, and examine what holds dental offices back from maintaining good sanitation. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 3:02 - What our guests feel is the most important lessons dental hygiene students learn from the get-go. - Their advice for which bad habits students absolutely need to get rid of and why they need to get on top of their mask game. - Why Michelle believes social media is playing an important role in educating everybody about infection control. - What steps you can take to get yourself certified in infection prevention. - The reason students and newly employed hygienists might be reluctant to speak up about infection control issues, even if they have the proper knowledge. - The importance of fostering a more honest environment in a dental office where people with sanitation concerns can speak up without fear of reprisal. - Why you'll need to sacrifice some of your personal style if you wish to keep your office free from infection. - What questions you should ask about infection control, and what you should be on the lookout for, when job hunting.   QUOTES: “If you're working in a high-aerosol environment with a Level One mask, you're not getting the adequate protection you need.” “This is how we practice safe dentistry in our office, and you need to go through this training.” “Unfortunately sometimes we have to require things for them to get done.” “They think they're saving money, but what they're really gonna end up being is sick.” “These folks that are very, very infection control-conscious, they get kind of a bad rap in the office and that makes me sad.” “We're protecting ourselves and the patient, and no job is worth your safety and security.” “If you want your students to behave a certain way then you have to emulate that behavior.” LINKS: Emily's email: emily@thinkbigdental.com Joy on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/drjoyrdh/ Joy on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjoyrdh/ Joy on Twitter - https://twitter.com/DrJoyRDH Joy's email: info@drjoyrdh.com    OSAP homepage - https://www.osap.org/ Michelle's email: mlee@osap.org   Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!

When your job requires you to get right up close and personal to a patient’s mouth, you need to really get on top of your cleanliness game—especially before you graduate and start your career as a hygienist. So, to that end, we’ve brought on three veterans of the dental industry who specialize in keeping the hygienist’s workspace as healthy as possible for patient and professional alike. Emily Boge, RDH, is the dental administrative chair at Hawkeye Community College and a product innovator with American Eagle Instruments.

Michelle Lee, the executive director of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP), drops by the show to talk about the importance of proper infection control techniques and how her organization can provide the correct answers to some of the toughest questions dental assistants have on the topic.

The topic of infection control in dentistry is important and should be at the forefront of your mind when it comes to patient care. It’s definitely something I’m passionate about! That’s why this episode is devoted to different resources you can use to ensure you and your patient are protected. I came across many of these at the recent Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) conference. I’m excited to share them with you! Infection control in dentistry starts by testing your equipment often Something that is always emphasized at the yearly OSAP conference is the importance of cleaning your tools as often as possible. The last thing you want is for a patient to get sick on your watch! Something we include on our personal checklist is testing your autoclave and making sure it is functioning correctly. You need to make sure the machine to clean your tools is operating properly at all times. The Ultrasonic machine’s job is to automatically scrub your instruments, right? One of the most common ways to test that it’s working properly is the foil test (which, by the way, should be done at the end of the day). At the conference, I came across these capsules that you can drop in your ultrasonic. If it’s working properly, the SonoCheck will change the color of the water. Keep listening as Andrea and I cover some other safety devices now available. The dangers of biofilm in your water lines Biofilms can contain harmful bacteria such as Pseudomonas, Tuberculosis, and even Legionnaires’ disease. You have to know the quality of the water that is going into your patient’s mouth. You need a protocol for cleaning water lines and you should be testing it regularly. Assume every patient you work with is immunocompromised and do your best possible work to remove and prevent biofilms.  Recently, one of our clients here in Dallas was testing their water and their tap water was coming back with numbers in the 1,700 range—safe is below 500. They were doing shock treatments and kept coming back with higher numbers. The problem is, old biofilm solidifies and is difficult to clean. Sometimes, for the safety of your patients, it comes down to replacing your equipment. At the OSAP conference, I came across a booth for a product called Dentaqua. It’s a machine that you can rent (I believe for $200 a month) that is a dental line testing and cleaning system that supposedly can remove and prevent the formation of biofilms. It’s also chemical free. If anyone listening uses it, please let me know what you think, I’d love to hear some feedback! Prioritize protective glasses as if they were a bullet-proof vest As many of you know, I worked as a cop for years. Safety on the job is highly important, and can be a matter of life and death! There was an instance where I didn’t wear my bullet-proof vest for two days, and when my wife found out she was very angry—and rightly so. I didn’t take the necessary precautions to protect myself. Moral of the story? Do not take unnecessary risks. So wear your eye protection! It serves to protect your eyes from bodily fluids from your patient. You’re also supposed to use green glasses to protect your eyes when you’re using lasers. But did you know when you’re supposed to use orange tinted lenses when utilizing curing lights? Exposure to the ultraviolet light can and will damage your eyes. So the extra few seconds it takes to change to a different pair of glasses if 100% worth the inconvenience.  Make sure to listen to the whole episode as Andrea and I dive into the world of infection control and talk in-depth about what you can do to protect yourself and your patients!

In this episode I went to Melbourne and had the absolute pleasure of meeting Carol Bradley. From humble beginnings as a kennel maid in 1973 Carol worked all the way up to her current role teaching and training vet students at the University of Melbourne. Carol is a Tutor in small animal surgery, and the Veterinary Skills Centre Manager and Nurse Educator. When it comes to teaching vet students Carol is also responsible for lectures and practical class supervision in the surgical discipline with a focus on aseptic and operating room technique, instruments, biomaterials, suture technique, the sterilizing process, and approach to basic surgical procedures.In Carol’s career she’s been a bit of a trailblazer in raising standards in veterinary surgical nursing, including being the first vet nurse to gain her qualification in cleaning, disinfecting and sterilization at the human hospital standard. She was also the first vet nurse to be given an academic position in the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Melbourne.Carol is a popular speaker on the veterinary circuit, has a long list of publications, and even invented the Bradley Cat Lap drape. Carol loves innovation. She’s a great advocate for vet nurses and for lifelong learning; currently studying a postgrad certificate in Infection Prevention and Control through Griffith University. Not only was Carol just a delight to meet and interview, she also shared a lot of really useful, and practical, evidence based information. We’ve already made improvements at Ready Vet on the basis of what Carol had to say. As always I’ve tried to put links in the show notes to everything we discussed, so if you find yourself frantically reaching for your pen head to radiovetnurse.com and check the show notes for this episode.We discussed:· https://www.aorn.org/ - Association of periOperative Registered Nurses USA· Carol was the first veterinary nurse to apply and successfully pass the Certificate III in Health (Sterilizing for Technicians), applying the Australian & New Zealand Standard 4187 “Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing reusable medical and surgical instruments and associated equipment, and maintenance of associated environments and health care facilities”, making it the first Veterinary Teaching Hospital to align with human hospital standards in the faculty’s hospital’s Central Sterilizing Service Department.· In 2013 Carol was awarded her Associate Fellow in the Higher Education Academy (Veterinary Education) from the Royal Veterinary College, London.· Carol is currently studying a Postgraduate Certificate in Infection Prevention Control through Griffith University.· In 2008 Carol designed a range of single use veterinary surgical drapes for the largest Australian hospital supplies manufacturer, Defies Industries. The Bradley Cat Lap drape is still in use via Provet.· Carol’s recommendations for sterilizers: o Prevacuum sterilizers are better (than downwards displacement sterilizers) for hollow items and faster turnaround. o Mediquip or Device Technologies for a nice little benchtop sterilizer – must have a drying cycle. o Atherton for the very large hospital size sterilizer. o See also DLC Australia.· Recommendations for packaging: o Paper bags for soft items (cotton balls, swabs etc, no sharp items). o Laminate – window packs. Good for light instruments, not sharp. Small items/sets. o Polypropylene wraps/single use wraps. Linen around this if getting excess moisture in chamber.· Chlorhexidine is a cationic chemical, povidone-iodine is an anionic chemical and they cancel each other out.

AADOM Radio & Dental Speaker Institute Present: Karen Daw OSHA SMOSHA - How safety training can attract and keep patients. We all know OSHA is required, but just mention "OSHA" and people's eyes start to gloss over. OSHA and infection control training should be a good fit for the practice in order to fulfill educational and compliance goals. Podcast Objetives: Different ways to fulfill annual OSHA training How can completing mandatory annual safety training benefit the practice Top 10 things dental offices were cited for in 2010 - it's not what you think! More About Karen: In her high energy presentations, Karen Daw infuses hands-on activities, exercises, fun stories and both dental and medical specific examples from her 20+ years’ experience as a speaker, consultant, and authorized OSHA trainer. From the 2-person practice to 1,000-person audiences, Karen helps healthcare professionals enhance their safety and compliance systems. Karen has authored articles and continuing education courses, and is a proud member and former event co-chair of the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP). She is a member in good standing with Dental Speakers Bureau and Dental Speaker Institute. Karen graduated from and worked at the Ohio State University as the Assistant Director for the Sterilization Monitoring Service and then as the Clinic Health and Safety Director for the College of Dentistry. She continued her education by earning an MBA with a focus on Management and Healthcare Administration. Karen offers regulatory compliance solutions for healthcare practices. She is committed to helping people rethink compliance, not as a mandatory activity but as a culture of safety. As a result of her work, healthcare professionals are able to more confidently meet regulatory standards, implement leaner processes, and create a safer work environment while actually decreasing costs.

Are you using the correct skin prep for dermal fillers?  Do you know which one it is?  There’s a huge variation in what practitioners are using but there’s only one prep that falls within the standard of care in the US.  In this episode I talk about the recommended skin prep for dermal fillers and neuromodulators, the nasty scientific facts about bacteria in make-up, which gloves you should be using and much more.  Disclaimer: Listening to this podcast does not constitute qualification to perform the procedures discussed herein.  Facial Injectables – Lessons Learned Podcasts are intended solely for informational purposes and to supplement, not replace, proper training and supervision by qualified instructors.

Omelette King Link zum Bild: Eierkopf Hier ist das stolze und durchaus eindeutige Ergebnis, welches gewisse Piloten in der Nacht immer noch schweißgebadet aufschrecken lässt. Nein Sven, es war kein Traum, das ist die bittere Realität. Link zum Bild: Wer ist der Omelette King? Nachspann: Da Andreas es nicht kennt mit der gewonnen Lebenszeit durch eingedampfte Benachrichtigungen 11 Minuten über hat ↓ Überschallneuigkeiten ScreenFlow 5 Ich kann ein bisschen über ScreenFlow 5 klagen. Das 5er ist schon gar nicht mal so gut. Andreas Zeitler Das ist die Quintessenz. Andreas als Profi-Bildschirm-Verdigitalisierer sieht die Bug-Tötungsliste und Wunschliste nicht erfüllt mit SF5. Sven findets’ trotzdem gut für den Hobbyhandwerker und Patrick stimmt da im Prinzip zu, auch wenn er sich mit den 10% Studentenrabatt schwer tut beim Erwerb… dürften gerne auch 20% sein von seinem Geldbeutel aus gesehen. Gadgets Hier gibt’s was zum anfassen. Logitech Keys-To-Go (Timecode 00:17:00) Klein, handlich, Spritzwasser-geschützt und in mehreren Farben erhältlich: Logitech’s Keys-To-Go. In Kürze für knapp 70€ im Handel. Link zum Bild: Keys-To-Go Alternative: myType™ Pocketable Bluetooth Keyboard for Phones & Tablets by myType™ Keyboard Sennheiser MM-550-X (Timecode 00:19:15) Sennheiser MM 550-X TRAVEL Nicht erschrecken da das Ding 350 € neu kostet. Denn ab 180 € gibt’s den schon gebraucht. Im übrigen hat sich kaum was zum Vorgänger Modell, dem MM-550 (ohne X), geändert. Hier noch einmal eine formschöne Tabelle mit den Hard-facts von Patrick: Der hat Klang! Selbst bei Bluetooth = Das Kaufargument schlechthin, wenn’s Bluetooth sein soll. ca 7m Reichweite Der ist komfortabel zu tragen – getestet gegen unzählige andere Kopfhörer. Patrick selbst hat daheim 3 Modelle und existiert quasi nur mit Kopfhörern auf dem Schädel (… auch Daheim). weich gepolsterten Kopfbügel + extra große Ohrmuscheln einen angenehmen Tragekomfort (trotz) geschlossene Bauweise Laufzeit: bis zu 20 Stunden Angegeben ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel Hörbücher/Podcast ca. 12 Stunden Ersatzakku würde 40 € kosten hochwertige Haptik wireless oder Kabel widerstandsfähig, faltbar Spielereien: SRS WOW HDTechnologie - Räumliches Klangbild… bei Hörspielen ganz nett Aufgeladen wird über USB Nachteile Kann nicht parallel mehrere Bluetooth Verbindungen aufbauen. Mac abmelden, iPhone anmelden Noise Canceling gut, aber nicht top. Bose ist da der Chef. Quadcopter Blade Nano QX (Timecode 00:24:40) Die perfekte Einsteiger Drone: Quadcopter Blade Nano QX für ca. 80€ bei Amazon. Link zum Bild: Drone Im großen Wirecutter Review als Übungsgerät empfohlen, bevor man dann eine 800€ Drone auf das Kirchendach oder in den Teich setzt. Fast alle Einzelteile einzeln und günstig nachzubestellen (Rotoren, Motoren, Gestell). Sehr robust und gut zu steuern. Kommt als Ready-to-Fly (RTF) mit Fernsteuerung. Für alle Dronen-Einsteiger oder Interessierten empfiehlt sich noch dringend die Lektüre von Paul Stamatiou’s “Getting Started with Drones”. Tom Bihn Ristretto (Timecode 00:26:45) Eigentlich kann man alles von Tom Bihn bestellen – qualitätstechnisch sind die echt super. Nur die Liefergebühren und der Zoll bereiten einem Bauchscherzen. Sein 11″ MacBook Air hat Patrick nicht mehr, aber die passende Ristretto Messenger Tasche (ab $110) leistet ihm noch treue Dienste. Egal was man jedoch bestellt, das wichtigste Upgrade ist der “Absolute Shoulder Strap”. Und für Fahrradfahrer ist das superhelle Guardian DF Light eine echte Empfehlung von Patrick. Die Batterie hält übrigens eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. Link zum Bild: Licht Review für Leser: Tom Bihn Ristretto MacBook Air bag Mark II Review für Glotzer: Merkur Progress (Timecode 00:28:45) Link zum Bild: Merkur Andreas schwört auf den Merkur Rasierhobel Progress 500. Das Ding sieht zwar antik aus, kann aber leicht verstellt werden und die Stufen sind somit anpassbar an eure derzeitigen Vorlieben und Hautbegebenheiten. Die passende Slideshare hat Andreas dazu schon gehalten auf einem Barcamp, deshalb gibt’s hier für euch nun “Die perfekte Rasur”: Die perfekte Rasur from Andreas Zeitler … inklusive dem passenden Gist. Jawbone UP3 (Timecode 00:31:20) Der Puls wird einbezogen und dadurch gibt’s wohl auch sowas wie eine flexible Weckzeit, welche Sven be-geist-teeeeeert. Vorbestellt werden kann der Spaß für 180 €. Link zum Bild: Up Applydea Maglus Stylus (Timecode 00:32:30) Nach der Studie von The Verge entschied sich Patrick damals dazu seiner Freundin den Maglus zu schenken. Heute belegt er dort immer noch den Platz 1 unter den Allroundern. Das Ding ist so gut, das er es sich dann 2 Jahre später selbst einen eigenen gekauft hat. Highlights: Magnetisch auswechselbare Spitze Die Spitze ist übrigens das Beste an dem Stylus. Wie er in der Hand liegt das Zweitbeste. Adonit’s Jot Pro hat es bei Patrick keine 2 Wochen ausgehalten, dann ging das Ding “return to sender”. Die anderen Stifte die Patrick ausprobiert hat sind nicht der Rede wert. Der Pencil ist jedoch immer noch sein Backup-Stylus. Dieser hat aber einige gravierende Schwachstellen, so findet der Verbindungsaufbau oft einfach nicht statt und frustriert wird dann zum Lieblingsgerät gegriffen, was halt nicht die neuen Features des Pencil’s hat. Das andere Problem, wenn er denn mal Verbunden ist, ist die Wisch-und-Schmier Funktion. Die wird nämlich immer dann spontan ausgelöst, wenn man sie gar nicht braucht. Hier noch mehr Meckerei, aber von jemand Anderem: The prices are truly insane for such a shitty product, for that kind of money I’d say it’s worth to buy a Wacom bamboo and get a ton better performance on your coffeshop creative session. Serious cash for a stylish pen with quite a few quirks and a best case bulky-crayon sketch feeling. Either a Wacom bamboo digitizer or the Adobe ink kit. CRKT Türreck (Timecode 00:34:00) Link zum Bild: Türreck Ob @Zettt’s Kettler Türreck Multi oder Patrick’s Powerbar 2… dieser Pick sollte euch wieder hochziehen, wenn ihr gerade down seid. Powerbar 2 Demonstration from Innovation Fitness on Vimeo. Doch genug der schlechten Wortspiele, jetzt geht’s zu den… Mac OS X App Picks … und die sind einfach… SuperDuper (Timecode 00:37:40) Die kostenfreie Version von SuperDuper! ist echt gut… kann zum Beispiel auch bootbare Backups erstellen. Das wusste Patrick noch nicht. Der kennt nur 24,68 €, welche auch steuerbare Backups erlaubt. Highland (Timecode 00:40:00) “Distraction-free screenwriting” gibt’s mit Highland für 26,99 €. Andreas will damit eure kreative Ader fördern. Dazu passend ein 1½ Minuten langer Stummfilm: Highland Promo from Quote Unquote Apps on Vimeo. Airfoil von Rogue Amoeba (Timecode 00:42:20) Die Streaming-Wahl von Patrick, wenn es darum geht Sound vom Mac ans iPhone zu schicken oder umgedreht. Das ganze kostet $25 für den Mac, bzw. Airfoil Remote für iOS gibt’s schon ab $5. Warum das so cool ist für Podcasts hat Patrick hier beschrieben. Mittlerweile haben Pocket Casts und Overcast auch web player – weshalb Patrick’s Methode tendenziell weniger zum Einsatz kommt. Trotzdem, nur so kann er Smart Speed von Overcast auch am Mac nutzen ohne Kopfhörerwechsel. Minecraft bzw. Feed The Beast (Timecode 00:44:40) Von Puzzlern, bis überleben, bis… was weiß die Redaktion. Andreas spielt’s und sein Zockerherz lacht freudestrahlend. Minecraft Modpacks: Direwolf20 | Feed the Beast Mailbox for Mac (beta) (Timecode 00:46:40) Zur Zeit nur GoogleMail und iCloud. Mehr Protokolle und Provider sollen folgen. http://www.mailboxapp.com iTerm 2 (Timecode 00:48:25) Der Terminal-Ersatz names iTerm2 kann… 256 colors for vim slide-out shell Split views shortcuts für SSH Verbindungen suche (in der aktuellen session), selbst mit Regex hochgradig konfigurierbar themes für verschiedene Verbindungen iTerm2 supports user-defined triggers keybindings, regex-Magie ↓ iTerm2 supports user-defined triggers, which are actions that run when text matching a regular expression is received. You can use it to highlight words, automatically respond to prompts, notify you when something important happens, and more. PS: Über das Uberspace-Drama hat Nils K. hier was geschrieben. Amadeus Pro (Timecode 00:51:00) Das Urgestein schlechthin in Sachen Audio-Editing für $60. Vor- und Nachteile direkt im Podcast. Asepsis (Timecode 00:54:30) Asepsis (von Binary Age) ist ein System Helferlein, welches die Erstellung von .DS_Store Dateien unterbindet Funktionsweise: Installiert einen daemon und legt die .DS_Store in /usr/local/.dscage an. Ergebnis: Sauberer Finder (gerade als Path Finder Nutzer sehr angenehm. Auflistung: Was alles in .DS_Store Dateien gesammelt wird. Metadaten halt… Position der Icons, Ansichtseinstellungen vom Finder Fenster und noch ein paar Schmankerl aus dem Inspektor. Wollt ihr wissen warum .DS_Store ein Kacklösung ist, dann hier weiterlesen. Tipps: Löscht alle .DS_Store in einem Ordner (auch global auf die Root Partition anwendbar, einfach statt ./ nur / schreiben). sudo find ./ -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} ; Aber… wir installieren ja so ein Tool, damit wir es einfacher haben. Statt löschen heißt es umziehe: asepsisctl migratein Danach könnt ihr per find . -iname .ds_store ob das auch gefruchtet hat. Übrigens könnt ihr das erstellen dieser Dateien auf Netzwerk Datenträgern (z.B. alles was per USB angeschlossen wird) komplett unterbinden: defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true Klar gibt’s auch ne’ Warnung: 1x bei Binary Age 1x bei Apple: “Get Info Comments May Not Appear for Remote Volumes” Desk (Timecode 00:56:30) Für 26,99 € gibt’s Desk, einen minimalisitschen Blogging Client, von Sven empfohlen. Eine veritable Konkurrenz zu MarsEdit. Minimalistischer Desktop Writing und Blogging Client. Unterstützt folgende Plattformen: Wordpress (selbst gehosted und Wordpress.com) Blogger Tumblr Squarespace Movable Type Typepad Facebook Notes ffmpeg (Timecode 00:58:18) Nach dem Urgestein für Audio-Editing gibt es jetzt von Andreas das Gegenstück zum Video konvertieren auf der Kommandozeile. Ein echtes Schmuckstück, welches im übrigen fast jeder Video-Konverter nutzt. iOS App Picks Newsify (Timecode 01:01:10) Sven ist begeistert vom Zeitungslayout dieses RSS readers. Co-Pilot Patrick spamt derweil seine Meinung in den Chat. Link zum Bild: Newsify Fan Wer mehr Drama will, muss reinhören. Voice Dream Reader (Timecode 01:03:20) Quelle: Voice Dream für 8,99 € (eine Lite Version zum Testen gibt’s umsonst). Gute Stimmchen ((im Podcast auch live)): Deutsch: Julia (Acapela) 1,79 €/Hans (Ivona) 4,49 € UK Englisch: Emma (Ivona) 4,49 €/Brian (Ivona) 4,49 € Alternative die nicht wirklich Alternativen sind: NaturalReader for Mac $69.50 NaturalReader Cloud $99/Jahr für Web App, iOS & Android Apps naltatis/instapaper2podcast Pinnacle Studio (Timecode 01:06:45) Video Editing auf iOS. 8,99 € für’s iPhone und 11,99 € für das iPad vom Avid Ableger Pinnacle. Andreas’ Empfehlung für um schnell Mal Live-Dokumentationen zusammenzuschrauben. Space Age (Timecode 01:08:15) Patrick’ jauchzt-heult im Hintergrund als Sven seinen hervorragenden 3,59 € Pick vorstellt. Die Vorfreude ist groß bei ihm, denn Sven redet allen den Mund wässrig. Due.app (01:10:00) Der beste Timer unter iOS ist für 4,49 € erhältlich. Das Hammerfeature schlechthin - neben einem exzellenten Support von URL schemes: Die nervigen Erinnerungen die erst aufhören sich zu wiederholen, wenn man sich drum kümmert. Decim8 (Timecode 01:11:15) Decim8 kann für 1,79 € professionell eure Bilder zerstören. Wenn das kein Pick ist, dann weiß die Redaktion es auch nicht. Ein artverwandter Nachtrag von Patrick findet sich hier bei den Münchnern von Spektrum 44 (in Form von Wallpapers für’s iPhone 6). Nuzzle (Timecode 01:14:40) Nuzzle gibt euch ein personalisiertes Best of Retweets für euer Twitter. Kostenlos für iOS und im Web. Alternative web app: Vellum Outread (Timecode 01:16:10) Bei Outread sagt Andreas “Finally a Speed Reading App That Understands Speed Reading””. das Referenz (Timecode 01:18:18) Das Referenz: Wikipedia für 4,49 € für Sven die Wikipedia app. Web Apps oder Skripte FileBot (Timecode 01:20:00) FileBot - The ultimate TV and Movie Renamer / Subtitle Downloader. Der Name ist Programm, es gibt keine Gott, außer Bela, Farin, Rod FileBot. Appbot (Timecode 01:21:40) https://appbot.co Trello (Timecode 01:23:20) Super Listen-Organisierer mit dem nach noch suparara kollaborieren kann. Sven bevorzugt Trello gegenüber Asana und Co. Patrick findet die Touchsteuerung auf iOS sehr gelungen. BitTorrent Sync (Timecode 01:24:50) Sync ist Patrick’s neuster Held auf allen Plattformen: überall verfügbar schnell Ordern frei wählbar und ultra-konfigurierbar Kirby 2.0 (Timecode 01:26:00) PHP-Programmierer Sven F. nutzt Kirby um seine Blog rauszuhauen. Deshalb gibt’s das datenbanklose CMS auf Ordnerbasis empfohlen. Kostenlos testen, privat nutzen für 15 € oder geschäftlich für 79 €. Subtle Patterns (Timecode 01:27:20) http://subtlepatterns.com Dort gibt’s Hintergrundmuster für euch. Schlicht und einfach schön. Ein Photoshop-Plugin gibt’s auch gegen bare Münze. Pow (und/oder Anvil für den Mac) (Timecode 01:28:40) Zero-configuration Rack server for Mac OS X Kommandozeile: Pow GUI Version: Anvil for Mac - Run your sites locally Andreas wirft noch Vagrant mit rein, von dem er letztens gehört hat. Das kann allerdings noch viel viel mehr. Slack (Timecode 01:30:20) Slack ist der Hammer, wenn es um Anbindungen von anderen Web Apps und Co. geht. Das ganze ist unglaublich gut beim kollaborieren. Klare Pilotenempfehlung. Viel zu gut für kostenlos laut Patrick. Aber weil mehr Zahlen will hat folgende Optionen: Link zum Bild: Slack … über die er sich auf der offiziellen Webseite weiter informieren kann. Verschiedenes So… jetzt geht’s in zeitlerische Gefilde. Reosmods (Timecode 01:32:00) Dampfen ist teuer, weil man viel zu viel ausprobiert. Jeden Tag kommt was neues von irgendeinem Tüftler und wird gehypt ohne Ende. Zudem gibt’s noch jede Menge schlechter Tips. Damit will Patrick jetzt eine Ende machen, denn Reosmods ist der heilige Gral. Punkt. Satzende. Link zu größerem Bild: Reos Die Webseite ist ein Graus, aber ihr packt das schon: reosmods.com Den Mod gibt’s ab $146 … oder um die 80 € gebraucht. Anleitung zum bestellen: Auf “Shop > Mods” klicken Eine Low profile Reo grand und/oder eine Low profile Reo Mini raussuchen Auf “Shop > Rebuildable atomizer & supplies > Rebuildable atomizer & supplies” klicken Dort einen low profile Reomizer (2.0) nehmen und wohl fühlen. Kanthal A1 32 gauge mitbestellen und es glühen lassen. Vielleicht noch Ersatzmagneten für die Tür mitbestellen und ein paar Dichtungsringe. Bei Akkuteile eine VTC5 ordern. Warten auf die Post. Dampfen. Wer geduldig ist warten noch ein, zwei Monate, den dann gibt’s ein revolutionäres neues 510er Gewinde mit oben drauf vom Modvater Rob. Informationsbedürftige schauen bei Germanvapers im REO Talk vorbei. Hier Patrick’s Dampfer-Werdegang: Im Jahre 2010 war ich bereits 5 Jahre Nichtraucher. Aber habe so einiges vermisst: Rituale und Wolken pusten. Im Oktober 2010 stolperte ich über “Vaping”. Natürlich habe ich vorher schon einmal von der E-Zigarette gehört, aber die richtige Informationsflut habe ich erst dann auf mich einstürmen lassen, da mich Alternativen zu gängigen, super-teuren Vaporizern interessiert haben – ja, die Dinger die meistens zum Gras rauchen benutzt werden. Die Entscheidung viel positiv für’s Dampfen aus und ich ging von einer Totally Wicked Ego zur europäischen Ego, und dann immer weiter von Ego zu Ego. Vier Stück an der Zahl sollten es werden. Irgendwann kamen die ersten Tanks und ich habe eine Menge durchprobiert. Da die Ego’s nach einer Weile ziemlich ermüdend sind, wenn man viel dampft, bestellte ich mir rund ein Jahr später eine schwarze ProVari, welche mittlerweile - dank eines Defekts - auch einen V2 Chip drinnen hat und mich mit grünen LED’s anleuchtet immer wenn ich auf “FEUER” drücke. … okay nicht ganz die Wahrheit. Kurz nach der Ego hatte ich noch eine schwarze Silver Bullet die mir 6 Monate vor der ProVari treue Dienste leistete. Es folgten noch mehr Tanks, ein Versuch mit dem Bulli A1 und dann wieder Tanks. Letzten Endes war ich nie zufrieden mit Tanks…. Entweder der Geschmack ließ zu wünschen übrig (z.B. mag ich Carto’s überhaupt nicht) oder die Dinger sifften nach einer Weile. Frei nach dem Motto “Back To The Roots” wurde ich zum überzeugten Tröpfler und auf die ProVari kam ein eBaron The Dripper. Bis vor ein paar Monaten fand ich dieses 1-2-3 Setup relativ entspannt und gut. Doch dann… … dann entdeckte ich die Bottom-Feeder. Ich bestellte mir einen goldigen VV Reo Grand. Von der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und der Akkulaufzeit eine wahre Erleuchtung. Geschmacklich ebenfalls Oberliga. Auf das schmucke Stück kam dann ein eBaron The Spiral und gut ist…. Der Reo gefiel mir so gut, dass ich vor 2 Wochen überlegte, mir noch einen zu ordern, um nicht immer warten zu müssen, bis die 6 ml Flasche leer ist, bevor ich mal den Geschmack wechsele. Bevor ich aber noch einen in die Jahre gekommenen Mod bestellte, dachte ich bei mir: Informiere dich vorher noch einmal. Gesagt, getan. 2 Wochen Recherche und viele Rip Trippers Videos auf YouTube später viel die Entscheidung es noch einmal mit einem RDA zu probieren. Rip Trippers hat mir das schmackhaft gemacht und die Vorteile (in kurz: mehr Geschmack, mehr Dampf, mehr Rituale, mehr Optionen) aufgezeigt. Zudem ist mir die Nerdigkeit von dem Kerl sehr sympathisch - ich bin da genauso, wenn auch mit Computern und Skripten. Fully Present, The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness (Timecode 01:34:30) Von Ω zu Ommm. Was für Körper und Geist gibt’s hier von Andreas empfohlen: http://marc.ucla.edu/body.cfm?id=60 Trove (Timecode 01:36:15) Minimalisten Geldbörse. So fern man nur mit Karten im klassischen Kreditkartenformat und ein paar gefalteten Geldscheinen klarkommt ist Trove nicht nur ein sehr kleines, sondern auch sehr cleveres “Geldbörs’chen”. Sven schwört jeweils darauf und hat sich mittels Kickstarter-Kampagne gleich eines der ersten Exemplare gesichert. Hergestellt von einer der letzten britischen Lederfabriken gibt es Trove ab 30 GBP/ca. 38 EUR. Walter Moers - Stadt der Träumenden Bücher (Timecode 01:38:00) Walter Moers - Stadt der Träumenden Bücher (Hildegunst von Mythenmetz) Genre: Fantasy Autor: Walter Moers Denkt sich allerlei Figuren und Charaktere fernab von Humanoiden aus, welche alle im Mikrokosmos Zamonien zu Hause sind. Gerade für Kenner der klassischen Literatur auch auf der Metaebene sehr geil. Vergleich: Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next Serie wo in die Welt der Bücher hineingegangen wird. Hier genauso nur ganz anders. Protagonist: Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, ein fetter, arroganter, in sich selbst verliebter Autor, der keinerlei Kritik an seinem Werk duldet (Dinosaurier). Anbei ein Gedicht von einem anderen Schriftsteller in Roman selbst… als Meta… keine Angst… das Buch ist normal geschrieben. Bin schwarz, aus Holz und stets verschlossen Seitdem mit Stein sie mich beschossen In mir ruh’n tausend trübe Linsen Seitdem mein Haupt ging in die Binsen Dagegen helfen keine Pillen: Ich bin ein Schrank voll ungeputzter Brillen Danzelot von Silbendrechsler Stelton Pure Black Messer (Timecode 01:40:40) Sven schwört auf sein Stelton aus schwarzem Stahl. Die gibt’s zwischen 80 und 90 Euros. The War of Art (Timecode 01:42:30) Steven Pressfield’s Buch kämpft mit euch um Kunst und das Schreiben von Büchern gegen kreative Blockaden und Co. Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It’s a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got. Steven Pressfield, The War of Art Soulra FRX3 Kurbelradio mit USB-Ladeausgang (Timecode 01:44:00) So… es ist soweit… nach nur 17 Folgen kommt nun der erste Zeitler-Pick in Reinkultur… dieses Mal aber von SVEN. Mein Gott… es färbt ab. “K-U-R-B-E-L-R-A-D-I-O”. Das muss man sich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen. Sven’s Überleitung ist “BLACKOUT - Morgen ist es zu spät” von Marc Eisberg lesen. Danach ist nämlich ein Kurbelradio mit Solarpanel und der Möglichkeit der autonomen Geräteaufladung ein “Minimalinvestment”. Patrick zieht bei so viel Fnords direkt mal den Aluhut auf, um auf der sicheren Seite zu sein. Link zum Bild: ALU-SCHUTZ Währenddessen kramt Andreas sein Minimalinvestment aus dem Keller und sorgt für kurbelnde Erleuchtung. Link zum Bild: Kurbellicht Egal. Sven hat nach nächtelanger Recherche das Soulra FRX3 Kurbelradio als eines der Besten Minimalinvestements (dieses mal franz. betont lesen) herausgefiltert. Für schlappe 70€ gibt’s das bei Amazon und der nächste Blackout wird zur Gaudi… fehlt nur noch Dosenwurstsuppe im Zwölferpack… aber die pickt er bestimmt nächste Woche. Sven hat auch noch eine authentische Top-Bewertungen bei Amazon ausgegraben die ihn restlos vor dem Kauf überzeugt hat: ★★★★★ Tolles gäret Ich habe das gäret gekuaft uber shop hat super klang mit diesem gäret können sie handy aufladen mit aux ausgang können sie ihe mp3 oder handy verbinden und music horen und kann 3 fach aufladen mit usb uber strom mit solar und…. ja bei mir ein super gäret Patrick als alter Linguist sieht da eher seine nächste Mission. Und zwar den Bildungsauftrag seinem Co-Pilot einen der schönsten deutschen Dialekte näher zu bringen: .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; } Kiezdeutsch - “Isch geh Prinzenbad” Sunflex snakebyte power:cub (Timecode 01:48:00) Ein schicker Verteiler in Würfelform. Sunflex snakebyte power:cube Extender Universal. Konkurrenz allocacoc PowerCube wurde von Patrick zurückgeschickt: 0,5 Ampere = zu wenig Most, der snakebyte liefert 2.1 Ampere. Alternative: Nur USB? Billig muss es sein? Anker® 40W 5V / 8A 5-Port USB Ladegerät mit PowerIQ Neckar (Timecode 01:49:30) So wie es sich anhört freut sich Sven mit seinem JAWOHL!! mehr über den Pick von Andreas als dieser selbst. Die Nachricht ist jedoch simpel: Geh’ mal an die frische Luft, oh Hörer. In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.
