We are at the end of another semester, and at the end of another season of this podcast adventure. In this episode, we reflect together on our practices, on the things we are taking away from this year, the nature of teaching as “planting seeds,” and the importance of Sabbath for educators. We hope that this conversation encourages you all to wrap up your own academic years well, friends. With this episode, we are going on hiatus for the summer, but we plan to be back with you with new episodes in the fall. We hope you'll have time to rest, recreate, and re-create this summer! In this episode, Abby refers to a blog post by David Smith that gave her great ideas for end-of-term reflections for her students. You can read this post yourself here: https://christianscholars.com/reflections-on-how-to-end-a-semester/  Matt used the Romero Prayer as a closing blessing for this episode.

After recording our last episode, we left the microphones running as we sometimes do, and had another amazing interaction full of wisdom from our pal, Erik Ringsby. We are including it here as a shorty bonus episode, and we hope it spurs more thinking about how to care well for your students!

This week's episode is a conversation with our good friend and colleague in the Education department, Professor Erik Ringsby. Erik joined our team last year and teaches a variety of courses in special education and learner diversity, and draws on a long career as a special ed teacher and instructional coach. He is a talented, thoughtful educator, and one of our favorite things about Erik is his deep passion for supporting ALL students to make learning come to life. We are confident that this episode will be a blessing and an encouragement to you to think deeply about ways your school can support all the kids you get to serve!  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

This episode was prompted by an email Dave sent to the rest of the crew–we'll let you listen to hear the details–but it has to do with finding lots of joy amidst some frustration. This got us thinking about the nature of joy, and we share some of the joyful memories we have from our growing up years as we begin. Then we shift to talking about finding joy in the work of teaching, even when it is challenging, demanding, and downright frustrating. How can we look for joy, and help our students learn to see joy as well? We hope this will be an encouragement for you too to choose joy, even when things are frustrating! In this episode we reference Dave's newsletter: Positivity. Passion. Purpose.

In this episode we have the opportunity to interview our new friend, Shaun Brooker, who serves as Head of School at Hamilton Christian School in Hamilton, New Zealand. It was a pleasure to meet Shaun in person at the recent Converge conference in Orlando, and we were delighted that Shaun was able to join us for the show, despite the time difference between the Waikato region in New Zealand and Northwest Iowa–he is 18 hours ahead of us! Shaun is a thoughtful, passionate leader, as you will find as you listen. In this wide-ranging conversation about Christian education, Shaun shares his vision for the Kingdom work we get to engage in as Christian educators. We hope you'll be blessed by this conversation, and we suspect this is not the last time we'll have Shaun on the show. At the end of the episode Dave asks Shaun about an important piece he has written entitled “The Letter,” which we hope everyone will read. You can find this piece here: The Letter.

In this episode we talk to Dr. Usama Bilal of Drexel University about Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) and Difference-in-Differences (DiD), two quasi experimental methods that fall under the instrumental variables framework which we discussed in previous episodes. We talk about what RDD is, the different types (fuzzy vs sharp) and what we are actually estimating (LATE vs CACE). We talk about the bias vs variance tradeoff in how far from the threshold we choose to draw inferences. We talk about the assumptions that are needed for these methods to give valid estimate of effects. Then we talk about DiD and how this is a form of RDD with a second group that does not experience the discontinuity as a control. And we talk about the additional assumptions needed for this approach (e.g. parallel trends).

Matt noticed that it was four years ago last week that we started this podcast adventure–and what a wonderful time it's been for us! We're so grateful to you all, dear listeners, for joining us on this journey. We hope it will continue to be a blessing for you. In honor of that milestone, we start things off with some reflections on what we have learned and what we love about this project. This week we are joined in the studio (aka, Abby's office with the creaky table) by our good friend, Darryl De Boer. Darryl brings a wealth of knowledge and experience from his roles as Director of Education at Surrey Christian Schools, and Director of Teaching for Transformation at CACE. Our discussion this week is coming in response to our recent (successful!) accreditation process in the Education program at Dordt University. We wonder together about accountability and trust in Christian education. We hope that the discussion will be an encouragement for you to think about the right role of accountability in your own school context, and the important role of trust in those accountability processes.

In this episode we think about whether teaching is best pursued as a solo project, or whether it makes more sense in this day and age to look for ways teachers can collaborate in the work of teaching. We share some stories of our own experiences–in higher ed, and in our K-12 teaching–where we tried co-teaching. We explore the benefits and drawbacks, and try to paint a realistic picture of what a strong co-teaching approach might look like in practice. We hope this will encourage you to have more conversations about what collaborative teaching could look like in your own schools.

Welcome to a crossover episode with our good friend, Dr. Justin Bailey, who hosts the In All Things podcast. Justin reached out to us, because he wanted to interview Dave about his book, which is out now! We agreed, and what you have before you today is a special episode all about the book. Justin, Abby, and Matt ask Dave about his motivations for writing the book, the content, the approach, and really the heart of it all: developing an imagination for teaching “Christianly.”  Dave's book, Always Becoming, Never Arriving: Developing an Imagination for Teaching Christianly is available now. You can find it on Amazon and Bookshop.org!

Christmas time is here! (Cue the “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!” music!) It's the end of the semester, and we take a little time to reflect on what we've done and what we've learned this semester. Matt prompts the discussion this week with a two-part question: 1) What gifts did we receive from our students this year? And 2) What gifts would we like to give to educators? We have a lot of great things we have found blessings from our students, from their reflective responses, to their self-knowledge, to their hospitality, welcoming nature, and idealism. We also have gifts we would love to give to our fellow educators, including bravery, collaboration, authentic professional development, and resources for mental health. Thanks, as always, for listening. We appreciate you so much! We hope that this Christmas season is a blessing for you amidst the blur of busyness, friends!  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

For those who have been with us from the beginning, you might remember how this podcast started with just Matt and Dave, and how we didn't tell each other the question we were going to bring in, and just stumbled our way through thinking on our feet about how we might answer that question. We are recapturing a bit of that feeling in this episode! We sat down at our microphones at our normally-scheduled recording hour…and looked at each other expectantly, waiting for someone to remind us what our topic was for this week's episode. We quickly realized that we never agreed on a topic! But we decided to go forward, and record anyway. We hope that this conversation gives you a further sense of who we really are behind our podcast personas! Matt gave us a little direction by sharing an Advent piece by Frederick Buechner to begin, and we launched into a ranging conversation about what gives us hope right now. We also talk about recommendation letters, the amazing students we get to teach, some recent adventures in pedagogy, things we are grateful for, and other playful shenanigans. Maybe this episode will be a good reminder to take some time to check in and connect with your colleagues! Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education. You can learn more about the good work CACE is doing at https://cace.org/ In this episode, Dave mentions Andy Crouch's book, The Life We're Looking For, which is one of his favorites lately. You can order a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+life+we%27re+looking+for&hvadid=593689271884

In this episode we start off with some random check-in questions from Matt, inviting us to share some things about ourselves. (Be ready for some silliness, dear listeners!) This leads us into Dave sharing a story about teaching while not feeling well…and how he nearly passed out in class. The question Dave raises: how much should we let students see us as “real human beings?” We talk through various aspects of appropriate self-disclosure for teachers, the role of liking students and being liked by students in return, and strategies for giving students glimpses of who we really are beyond being “just the teacher.” We hope you'll laugh along with our banter, but also that this might spark some introspection and conversation with your colleagues about right relationships with students.

We start off this episode sharing about the different things we've been doing lately, with different conferences where we've been presenting lately. (It was marvelous for Abby and Matt to meet up with many listeners at CEA!) Dave's conference actually sparked the topic for this week's conversation: so many of the sessions at his EdTech conference dealt with AI in Education. We have questions, and maybe the beginnings of some answers. We discuss a whole range of ideas, from what AI is and what it currently can and cannot do, the potential impacts on teachers' pedagogy, and how to focus on having humans do the things that humans should do…while also imagining ways that we can have machines do things that machines are good at. These are murky waters, for sure, but we hope this somewhat-longer-than-normal hallway conversation will be encouraging, and might spark some more hallway conversations of your own about the role of AI in education. In this episode, we mentioned the fact that Dave recently had a chapter published in a monograph by the Association of Christian Schools International that is all about AI in Education.

This week we start off with a rant about Christmas decorations already being out in the stores (it's only the middle of October!) which turned into a just-for-fun check-in question about our favorite Halloween treats from our youth. The heart of our conversation today stemmed from an impromptu conversation Matt had with a campus visitor about the Education profession, and the prospective student was definitely not planning to become a teacher. Their conversation prompted our discussion: why aren't people coming into the profession today? We think around some of the narratives about the profession, and what parts are true, and what parts are…less true. Dave shares his take on why–and how–educators can work to elevate the profession and we brainstorm ideas about how those of us who teach can help encourage other people to join us in the joyful challenges and rewarding work we get to do as teachers. We have some specific words of encouragement for you all, listeners, to help encourage your own students to consider becoming teachers–we hope you'll have those conversations too!

In this week's episode Greg tries to ambush Patrick by bringing back the popular feature Pop Quiz, this time with a statistical acronym theme, only to pretty much get crushed by Patrick in the end. Along they way they also discuss: Wow That's Fantastic, QR codes and octogenarians, Questionable Rectum, catharsis, grassy knolls, petards, Sean ringtones, pity minutes, apologies to Roy Levy, bad clock management, asteroid Roombas, pitching beach balls, statistical sock puppets, and the DIC talk. Stay in contact with Quantitude!

We're (finally!) back in the studio (okay, Abby's office with a creaky table) to record again. We've missed this so much! We start by catching up about some of the events of our summer, and the things we have upcoming–lots of opportunities for us to meet up with Christian educators in different places. We love connecting with colleagues across North America, and around the world! And along these lines, our main conversation this week is about “connection” in schools–as in, what does it look like for people to be “connected” to their school community? Matt shared some quotes to get the ball rolling, and once we got started, we found we have both lots of ideas as well as plenty of questions about what being “connected” in a school community looks like in the flesh. We discuss the difference between “welcome” and “belonging,” and we wonder together about what it looks like when students (or faculty) are disconnected from their school community. We also wonder about the benefits of “close-knit community” and if there is a shadow-side to this, though it certainly sounds appealing. Throughout this conversation, we share examples and stories from our own experiences, both in schools and in broader communities. We hope, as always, that listening to us thinking out loud will be a spark for some hallway conversations of your own! Dave mentioned that he is going to be speaking at ACSI's Flourishing Schools Institute; this is going to be a pretty phenomenal conference! You can learn more here: https://www.acsi.org/flourishing-schools-institute  Matt and Abby will be at the Christian Educators Association Convention at the end of October, and if you are going to be there, be sure to connect with them there!

Our final episode for this season–a little time to reflect on Matt's question, “What does it look like to end well?” We shared some of the joys and sorrows we feel at the end of a term, ideas for how to end well, and some of the things we deeply believe about the rhythms of the school year. We also took some time to look back over this year and name some of the things we have learned. We recognize that we are all still works in progress and have not yet “arrived” as teachers and leaders. We hope you'll be encouraged by this conversation to wrap up this year well. A programming note: we are going on hiatus for the summer. The hallway is going to be a little quiet for the next few months! But we anticipate picking up again in August. We hope that you too will find time to rest, recharge, and recreate during your summer season. Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

This week we are delighted to have a long-time listener and friend of the podcast joining us for a conversation: master educator, Al Bandstra. Al teaches 6th grade at Sioux Center Christian School, and has written substantially about effective classroom management. His forthcoming book is about what he calls “infectious behaviors,” and this conversation is all about what Christian educators can do to address the challenges of individuals and groups that aren't behaving as we hope and expect they will. We share a variety of stories we've experienced, and Al shared with us from his ongoing research and exploration of ways he has found success to address challenging behaviors and broken relationships. If you have ever had a student–or group of students–that has been a challenge for you, we are confident that you'll find both stories of solidarity as well as words of encouragement here about classroom culture, appropriate authority for teachers, and even acknowledging our own humanity.  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

This week we are joined in the hallway by our friend and colleague, Gwen Marra. Dr. Marra teaches courses in Dordt's undergraduate Teacher Preparation Program and Master of Education Program related to early childhood education and literacy. Her academic focus is especially on supporting all learners in developing essential skills for literacy. The hallway crew keeps hearing about “the Science of Reading,” and we have a varied understanding of what this means. Since we wanted to learn more, we connected with our resident expert on all things literacy! Gwen shares from the deep well of her education and experience to help us understand better. We hope that by listening in you'll likewise be informed and better equipped to understand what research actually says about how people learn to read, and how we can help all students learn and succeed with literacy. Dr. Marra mentioned the Sold a Story podcast in this episode. You can listen to the whole podcast here: https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/  Dr. Marra also mentioned the book Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. You can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Fish-Tree-Lynda-Mullaly-Hunt/dp/0142426423  Dr. Marra mentioned several resources for teachers and parents, which you can access here: Reading Rockets: https://www.readingrockets.org/  International Dyslexia Association: https://dyslexiaida.org/  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

This week we are privileged to host our friend, Darryl De Boer, as a special guest. Darryl is a longtime leader in Christian schools, and currently serves as Director of Learning at Surrey Christian School in Surrey, British Columbia. Darryl is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education where he serves as the Director of Teaching for Transformation. Darryl is one of the co-creators of Teaching for Transformation (TfT), which is a framework being used by many Christian schools across North America to more intentionally ground their curriculum, instruction, and professional development to a Christ-centered biblical worldview. In this conversation, Darryl shares about the development of TfT, the core practices that are integral to TfT, and many other topics related to teaching and leading Christianly. Darryl's wisdom, thoughtfulness, and passion are on full display in our conversation, as is his way of encouraging and agitating (in the most positive sense!) to help schools become more intentional about taking seriously the integral nature of faith and learning. No matter your role in education, if you are part of a Christian school, we're confident you'll be encouraged and challenged by listening to this conversation!

We start off today's episode by checking in about our spring break shenanigans; we were all out traveling, and found it a wonderful time to recharge–a good reminder for us (and hopefully for you too!) that we need to take breaks, get a change of scenery, and recharge. The main topic for our discussion today came from Dave's questions: “What is teacher leadership? And how do teachers function as leaders in school?” We discuss different ways that teachers can function as leaders–for good, or for ill–in school, even if they don't have a formal title. We hope that this conversation will prompt some valuable discussion in your own hallway about the ways you and your colleagues serve as leaders in your school. In today's episode, Abby mentions an excellent piece from Cult of Pedagogy entitled Find Your Marigold. We recommend you read it!

This week we are privileged to host our friend, Chad Dirkse, as a special guest. Chad is a longtime school leader in Christian schools, and currently serves as Head of School at Annapolis Area Christian School where he serves more than 870 students and 100 staff. Chad is an expert in management and has a wealth of wisdom to share about both recruiting and retaining really excellent faculty members, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to ask him a lot of questions. From Chad's high-level idea of “revering the profession” to specific advice to leaders for how to both recruit new faculty members as well as retain great teachers, we know you'll be blessed and encouraged, whether you are a school leader, a board member, or a teacher yourself.  Hallway Conversations is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education.

We took the show on the road recently as we had the opportunity to provide some professional development workshops with our friends at Sioux Falls Christian School, and while we were there, they invited us to record an episode with their whole PreK-12 faculty. We had a great time, as usual! (Our apologies for the slightly less-than-optimal audio quality that comes with recording in a large room.) The theme of the professional development day was “empowered learning,” so we leaned into that as our theme for this episode as well. We start with a silly check-in question about songs we randomly find ourselves singing–you know you want to hear these! From there we share stories about our own teachers who empowered us as learners in our own school journeys. And, of course, as we usually do when we record live, we solicited questions from the crowd related to empowering learners. We hope that you will find encouragement and ideas for how you can empower you own students as you listen in!

Tim Van Soelen, director of the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education (cace.org) discusses teaching for transformation and the Practicing Faith Survey (practicing.faith).

In this episode we begin with a check-in about our favorite fashion choices from our high school days that we kind of wish would come around again. (You might be surprised…or maybe not at all!) From that silliness, we take a hard turn into a very serious topic–power in the classroom. Dave set the stage by sharing a quote from a book that got him thinking about the nature of power, how teachers use their power, and the way students respond. We think through our own growth as teachers and how we needed to assert power at some points in our teaching experiences. This got us talking about the way we grow as teachers throughout our careers, the difference between “power” and “authority,” and even how teachers can share power with students without diminishing their authority. We hope this episode will help you reflect on the power held by teachers, and ways to use your authority appropriately in light of your office as Christian educator. Dave brought up the book On Christian Teaching: Practicing Faith in the Classroom by David I. Smith. We urge you to read this book if you haven't already: https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Teaching-Practicing-Faith-Classroom/dp/080287360X/  Abby brought up the book Hacking School Discipline by Nathan Maynard and Brad Weinstein.

Welcome to Season 8! We're excited to be back with you for another set of hallway conversations. We start off with a check-in about what sparked joy for us since the last time we've been recording, and we hope this is an encouragement for you all to practice check-ins with your students and/or colleagues as well. Matt brought the question for our discussion this week, asking us to think about how things have changed–for better, or for worse–since we began teaching. There are so many things we named from the “Good Old Days,” from technologies, to student engagement, to interactions with parents, and so many more. We hope that listening in to this conversation will prompt some reflection for you about the changing nature of our profession.

This week, kind of an old-school Hallway Conversation like we did back in the early days of the show: Dave springs a question about assessment on Abby and Matt, and we just think out loud together about what assessment really, and what it is “for.” In particular, a conversation Dave had with a friend who is a K-12 teacher sparked a wondering about “just how much time should we devote to assessing learning vs. actually teaching the content?” We hope the discussion might prompt some wondering of your own–and that you might have a hallway conversation with a colleague about your own assessment practices. Exciting news for us! We have an official sponsor: the Center for the Advancement of Christian Education! You can find out more about CACE and the good work they are doing at https://cace.org/

Thank you, loyal listeners, for joining us each week! You may have noticed that there was no episode in the queue last week. Never fear; we have no intention of giving up on the podcast! But with some changes to responsibilities for two of us this year, we are having a harder and harder time getting all three of us into the studio together to record a weekly episode. So we are planning to shift to an every-other-week schedule for the foreseeable future. We hope you'll continue to join us for each new episode when they drop. We love recording and sharing our conversations with you all, and if our schedules ever line up better again, perhaps we'll go back to every week–who knows? :-) This week's episode came from a swirl of several convergent streams–a quote from a book about assessment that Abby read, a question from a listener (thanks, Jess!) about assessment practices prompted by something she read on the CACE blog, and challenges we have faced in our own practices regarding assessment. With this kind of confluence, we felt a tug to think together around the topic of assessment, and share some of our experiences and adventures in reimagining what assessment is, and what it is for, and how we try to assess our students' learning. It's a ranging, rambling conversation, but we hope you'll be encouraged and inspired to think through your own assessment practices by listening in. Here is the article from the CACE blog mentioned by our listener, Jess. We highly recommend you read it! Its title raises the key question it seeks to answer: “What If Assessment Was a Gift?” You can read it here: https://cace.org/what-if-assessment-was-a-gift/  In this episode, we also discuss an article by Elaine Brouwer entitled “Assessment For Learning: A Blessing for Our Students,” which is available in this issue of Christian Educators Journal: https://www.cejonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/47-2.pdf  In the episode, Abby mentions an idea for engaging students in reflection even right before taking a test as a way of building community and reducing anxiety. The idea was in a video by math educator Howie Hua. You can view that video on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/howie_hua/status/1570194591227473921

He is currently writing the medical trauma memoir "The Summer I Died Twenty Times". It's so amazing to talk to someone like Fred who went through an extraordinary experience and he's still standing! In today's show we discuss how he had an undiagnosed heart condition that led him to repeatedly to pass out and die for a few minutes and he always came back. He describes what this felt like and how it felt to return to his body. He also shares how intermittent fasting helped him recover and how his experiences affected his memory, faith and spirituality and his ability to meditate.

Fred Rutman, BA, CACE, MBA, Certified Marketing Specialist Intermittent Faster and Coach, Death and Brain Trauma Survivor Currently writing the medical trauma memoir "The Summer I Died Twenty Times" Currently living in Toronto. I was a marketing person and college prof (MBA, Marketing and Finance) for a number of years, until the summer of 2009 came crashing down on me and forced me onto permanent medical leave. Something was causing me to what we thought was pass out randomly, but it was worse than that - It turns out my heart was stopping. I was clinically dead dozens of times. Each time my heart stopped, I collapsed and hit my head, sustaining multiple concussions. They eventually figured out that they had repeatedly misdiagnosed me and put me on a pacemaker. Which was great. Until the infallible pacemaker failed in 2013. And 2018, with more complications in 2019 and 2020.  In 2018, I learned about intermittent fasting and my life hasn't been the same since. I attribute the large majority of my recovery to the healing powers of IF. I've reversed T2 diabetes and some of its related issues, and am no longer asthmatic and my sleep apnea went away. I'm down 10 pant sizes and about 80 lbs. Yes, there is still some perpetual anxiety, PTSD and Post Concussion Syndrome but it gets better every day. In mid-December 2021, I had the cleanest pacemaker check I've ever had.  So the last 12 years has been me fighting to get my life back. Additionally, I am writing my memoir “The Summer I Died Twenty Times”. I've just started Instagram https://www.instagram.com/repeatedlydf/ I'm the only male moderator in the 335,000 member IF FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/DelayDontDeny  I'm also a moderator in https://dddcommunity.circle.so/home, a fee-based IF fasting community

En fechas de mucha actividad de compra y venta, como el Hot Sale 2022 que comenzó ayer, así como aumentan los consumidores y vendedores en línea casi de manera proporcional también crecen los intentos de delitos informáticos. En ese marco, el presidente de Arco de Acción Ciudadana hizo recomendaciones para evitar ser víctimas de estafas online y expresó: “Comprar desde un internet seguro, como es el hogar y no desde el trabajo o un lugar público”. Emanuel Jordan aconsejó a los consumidores iniciar las operaciones de comercio electrónico desde el sitio oficial del evento organizado por la Cámara del sector (CACE) para evitar caer en fraudes o estafas. “Las compras deben ser en sitios oficiales y seguros”, subrayó. Pase lo que pase, lunes a viernes de 7.00 a 9.00 Con Darío Villarruel, Sofía Muschetto y Jorge Vaccaro.

In this episode, we speak with Maggie and Conor Bell, two siblings who founded the non-profit CACE (College Athlete Compliance Enquiries) and they serve as a confidential resource for athletes who have compliance-related questions, especially those who are considering transferring and looking for advice and guidance through the process, so that athletes can get the help they need without risking their relationship with a coach or school official. And they are currently working on ways to help athletes make informed decisions about schools during recruiting in hopes that it will help more athletes avoid the transfer process altogether.

In una miniera in Sicilia (“la buca della Cace”), una sera il sorvegliante Cacciagallina, con la pistola in pugno, ordina ai suoi lavoratori di continuare a lavorare tutta la notte per finire il carico della giornata. Cacciagallina se la prende in particolar modo con un vecchio minatore, cieco da un occhio, chiamato Zi' Scarda. Mentre tutti minatori, però, si rifiutano e tornano in paese, solo il vecchio Zi' Scarda rimane, insieme al caruso Ciàula 1. Anche se molto stanco, il ragazzo, “che aveva più di trent'anni (e poteva averne anche sette o settanta, scemo com'era)”, non può che rimanere, obbedendo agli ordini di Zi' Scarda. Ciàula è del resto abituato alla scarsa luce della miniera, dove non ha paura del buio ed anzi si trova perfettamente a proprio agio come un animale nel suo ambiente naturale...

El responsable de Jamaica Inc y miembro de CACE reg. Litoral charla con Manu Piñol sobre la nueva edición del Hot Sale

Ya sabemos que la cuarentena cambió tu forma de consumir y la de todos los argentinos. Y ya pasados más de 100 días de aislamiento, podemos confirmar que se consolidó la tendencia: el comercio electrónico, de la mano de la logística y el delivery, es el gran ganador de esta pandemia. Los números lo demuestran: la facturación del e-commerce creció en abril un 84% en comparación con un mes promedio del primer trimestre de 2020, según la Cámara Argentina de Comercio Electrónico (CACE). Según el estudio que realizó en conjunto con Kantar, además, las órdenes de compra crecieron un 38% y las unidades vendidas, un 71%. Y con esta confirmación, con esta situación, nos lleva a una gran pregunta: ¿qué pasará con la tienda física? ¿Cuál es el futuro del local comercial? ¿Habrá un "apocalipsis del retail", tal como se habla en algunos países del mundo? De esto habla Ignacio Federico en este episodio de Los números también hablan, en esta ocasión acompañado por Alfredo Sainz, periodista de LA NACION especializado en consumo.

Este é o Supernovas Show – a sua dose de notícias semanais, totalmente pretensiosas. ENTRE PARA O GRUPO DE OUVINTES NO WHATSAPP! OUÇA E ASSINE NO SPOTIFY Uma semana cheia de novidades e polêmicas no mundo gamer. O programa de hoje não vai apenas comentar os últimos anúncios dos diversos eventos que rolaram na semana. Temos também, uma dor de cotovelo com um pingo de verdade talvez nas críticas do novo lançamento da Naughty Dog. The Last of Us Part 2 O game acabou de ser lançado e já faz muito barulho. Mas calma lá se você pensa que é pela – ambientação incrível e gráficos tirando o máximo que o final dessa geração pode oferecer – você se engana. A polêmica gira em torno da temática LGBT tratada no game e também, pela violência gráfica e psicológica apresentado durante a jornada de Ellie. Guerrilla Collective, Festival de jogos do Steam e PC Gaming Show 2020 EA Play 2020: Star Wars Squadrons, SKATE e Lost in Random são anunciados. Squadrons será lançado dia 2 de outubro e SKATE segue sem previsão. Mas será lançado para a próxima geração Lost in Random O jogo gótico que traz uma temática meio de conto de fadas traz aventuras em ambientes sombrios em meio ao caos, em um ambiente até mesmo distorcido. Esta aventura de Lost in Random deve chegar somente em 2021 para PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch e PC via Origin e Steam. KINGDOM HEARTS: MELODY OF MEMORY É ANUNCIADO PARA PS4, XBOX ONE E SWITCH Como o nome já dava a entender, trata-se de um jogo musical, bem na linha de Theaterrythm Final Fantasy.  Em ação, o novo jogo parece seguir a mesma ideia de colocar os heróis andando sobre trilhos automaticamente, onde são obrigados a apertar os botões na hora certa para derrotar os inimigos ou superar obstáculos, com as adversidades aparecendo na tela no mesmo tempo das batidas das músicas. Já deu para ver que rostos conhecidos de jogos anteriores, como Hércules e Aladdin, farão parte do seu time, então o novo título tem tudo para ser uma grande celebração do lindo legado musical da franquia. Felizmente, não vamos precisar esperar muito mais para jogar, já que o lançamento está marcado para algum momento de 2020, com versões para Nintendo Switch (que finalmente ganhará seu primeiro título da série), PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Você curtiu a ideia e o primeiro trailer de Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory? Almighty: Kill Your Gods A Versus Evil anunciou que Almighty: Kill Your Gods será lançado nesta primavera brasileira para PC e “mais tarde” para consoles. Cace demônios, monstros e deuses sozinho ou online com os amigos neste RPG de ação. Corra, pule e voe pelas ilhas, rasgando seus inimigos em pedaços e reconstruindo sua casa com seus restos mortais. Derrube os deuses falsos opressivos, proteja seus parentes e torne-se Todo-Poderoso (Um RPG de ação com construção de base lembra um dauntless nos gráficos). Doors of Insanity Cartas e Caos esperam por você em uma jornada épica pelo Purgatório e as Portas da Insanidade. Embarque em uma jornada épica jogando cartas pelo purgatório. Crie seu personagem customizado, construa seu deck, enfrente os habitantes do purgatório e viaje para o paraíso que você merece. Lance feitiços, convoque aliados e equipe uma variedade de itens e equipamentos enquanto explora o que está por trás das Portas da Loucura. Nenhuma espada é muito grande, armadura muito grossa ou aliado desagradável demais. Doors of Insanity será lançado para PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch e PC. West of Dead Despertado, preso no submundo, cercado por almas malignas dispostas a tudo para caçá-lo. Para escapar de seu sombrio e sujo purgatório, será preciso adotar abordagens táticas e diversificar seu estilo de jogo, armas e habilidades para cada nova ameaça. West of Dead, desenvolvido pelo estúdio Upstream Arcade e publicado pela Raw Fury, será lançado para Xbox One (incluindo Xbox Game Pass) e PC (via Steam) no próximo dia 18 de junho. O jogo chega ainda ao PlayStation 4 e ao Nintendo Switch em agosto. System Shock A Nightdive Studios divulgou um teaser trailer da demo em estado alpha do remake de System Shock. A demo está disponível no PC via Steam e GOG por tempo limitado. System Shock será lançado para PS4, Xbox One e PC. GONNER2 A publicadora de jogos Raw Fury e o desenvolvedor de games Ditto, do estúdio Art in Heart, estão incrivelmente empolgados em revelar que GONNER, o aclamado jogo premiado pelo IGF – Independent Games Festival, ganhará uma sequência que vai abalar as estruturas em 2020. Se você perder a cabeça com esta notícia, não se preocupe: GONNER2 terá uma porrada de cabeças prontas para você. O game de plataforma de ação belo e divertidamente “zoneado”, gerado de forma procedural e que apresenta elementos de Roguelike que vão te deixar na ponta do sofá – dessa vez com uma dose extra de tudo, incluindo cores e caos. GONNER2 chega em 2020 aos PCs, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 e Nintendo Switch. In Sound Mind In Sound Mind (PS5, Xbox Series X e PC) é um horror psicológico imaginativo em primeira pessoa, com quebra-cabeças frenéticos, brigas de chefes únicas e música original de The Living Tombstone. Viaje dentro do funcionamento interno do único lugar que você parece não conseguir escapar – sua própria mente. Torchlight III O terceiro título da franquia desenrola-se no mesmo mundo dos anteriores, cerca de um século depois. O Império desleixou-se e agora surge uma nova ameaça no horizonte. A nível mecânico, o grande destaque vai para os fortes. Cada jogador vai ter uma fortaleza pessoal, totalmente personalizável, que pode ser visitada por outros jogadores. Esta exploração pode ser bem recompensada, com novas receitas, itens e bónus de habilidades passivas. O sistema de animais de estimação também foi melhorado. Agora os jogadores podem escolher um animal e resgatar criaturas selvagens. Para além de gatos, cães, lamas e mochos há também uma seleção de animais exóticos à escolha. Torchlight III será lançado para PS4, Xbox One e PC, porém a versão de acesso antecipado (Early Access) já está disponível no PC por 29,99 dólares The Last Campfire The Last Campfire, o primeiro projeto da Hello Games, desde o lançamento de No Man’s Sky, será lançado ainda em 2020 para Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One e PC. Anunciado pela primeira vez no The Game Awards em 2018, a aventura segue Ember, que está em uma jornada para acender a última fogueira titular. No game, os players podem esperar alguns quebra-cabeças e lágrimas enquanto o protagonista embarca em sua missão. The Last Campfire é um projeto de menor escala e é claramente um desvio do explorador de ficção científica da Hello Games, com uma estética sombria, mas fofa. The Outlast Trials A Red Barrels Games revelou um novo trailer de The Outlast Trials e anunciou que o jogo chegará para PC via Steam e Epic Games Store em 2021. Não se sabe ainda se chegará aos consoles. Em meio à Guerra Fria, voluntários relutantes foram recrutados pela Murkoff Corporation para testar métodos novos de lavagem cerebral e controle mental. Trabalhe junto com seus amigos em um mundo de desconfiança, medo e violência, e tente sobreviver a The Outlast Trials. Pequenovas Mortal Shell | Game inspirado em ‘Dark Souls’ ganha trailer épico O PC Gaming Show de ontem revelou um novo trailer do próximo RPG de ação em terceira pessoa do tipo Souls, Mortal Shell. O próximo título de Dark Souls não será lançado tão cedo, já que o desenvolvedor está trabalhando em Elden Ring como uma nova franquia.  Desenvolvido pela Cold Symmetry, Mortal Shell é um RPG de ação em terceira pessoa com um estilo de combate semelhante à trilogia Dark Souls. O jogo se passa em um reino de masmorra, onde você terá que explorar as conchas mortais, despertar os guerreiros derrotados e lutar com eles para alcançar todo o seu conhecimento do mundo e habilidades do combate. Quanto mais você cresce sua conexão com uma concha mortal, mais se adapta à maneira de lutar em sua jornada. Mortal Shell será lançado para PS4, Xbox One e PC ainda esse ano. PS5 Games Will Need To Be Downloaded No Matter Which Version You Buy The best disc drive money can buy is an Ultra HD Blu-ray, capable of showing movies in beautiful 4K graphics. When used for gaming, a triple-layer Ultra HD Blu-ray can store just 100 GB. While that’s enough for some games, it’s not nearly enough for others. Destiny 2 has already crested the 100 GB threshold and modern AAA games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is already over 200 GB. This means that even if you buy a new physical PS5 game, odds are you’re still going to be using the internet to download a significant portion of that game’s data. Cyberpunk 2077 é adiado para 19 de novembro Apesar da declaração de Adam Kiciński, CEO do estúdio CD Projekt Red, no início de abril afirmando que Cyberpunk 2077 não seria adiado mais uma vez, infelizmente não ocorreu como era esperado. Foi publicado através da conta oficial do jogo no Twitter um comunicado do co-fundador da CD Projekt, Marcin Iwiński, em conjunto com o chefe do estúdio, Adam Badowski , dizendo que o título, apesar de estar praticamente pronto, exige alguns ajustes finos e por isso o seu lançamento será adiado para o dia 19 de novembro. Produtores de Little Devil Inside pedem desculpas e prometem mudar designs racistas dos inimigos Os produtores de Little Devil Inside, um dos jogos revelados durante a conferência da PS5 da Sony na semana passada, pediram desculpa e prometeram mudar alguns dos designs inimigos do jogo que contém estereótipos racistas. Vários meios de comunicação repararam que o trailer que estreou durante a conferência PS5 de 11 de junho, ‘The Future of Gaming’, com o utilizador do Twitter Lord Balvin a notar para o mau design de uns inimigos tribais com tranças e lábios grandes. A equipa da Neostream respondeu pouco depois via Facebook, observando que “estereótipos racistas de qualquer tipo não eram absolutamente intencionais”. “Não tínhamos conhecimento das conotações estereotipadas e desejamos pedir desculpas a quem se ofendeu com o design das personagens”, diz o comunicado. De acordo com o estúdio, o objetivo era “criar personagens que são protetores / guardiões de uma região mística no mundo de Little Devil Inside”. Neostream acrescentou que eles não fizeram referência a nenhuma “tribo humana africana e / ou afro-americana” durante a criação. A Neostream explicou que já planejou alterar o design em quatro etapas mostradas em baixo e acrescentou que elas podem ser totalmente alteradas, caso revelem ser inadequadas no jogo. Remover as tranças. 2. Mudar os lábios ousados. 3. Mudar o tom da pele. 4. Ajustar o ventilador do dardo para que ele pareça menos com uma junta. Ratchet e Clank: a misteriosa Lombax feminina de Rift Apart é uma personagem jogavel A misteriosa Lombax do trailer PS5 de Ratchet e Clank: Rift Apart será uma personagem jogavel no jogo. A Insomniac Games confirmou a notícia no Twitter, publicando uma foto da personagem ainda sem nome, referindo que iremos poder “jogar como Ratchet e uma nova e misteriosa Lombax” na campanha de Rift Apart. A internet ficou encantada com a nova heroína, que usa um martelo e veste um par de óculos de proteção, com alguns a apelida-la de ‘Ratchette’. Ela surge perante Clank após este passar uma das falhas temporais, levando a crer que naquele universo paralelo, ela seja a heroína. De acordo com uma publicação do PlayStation Blog, o jogo utilizará o SSD de velocidade alta da PS5 para permitir que o jogador “viaje sem problemas por diferentes dimensões durante o jogo. O comando sem fios DualSense também” dará vida ao combate “com feedback tátil e gatilhos adaptáveis que reforçam a imersão. Pokémon Snap, clássico do N64, está chegando ao Nintendo Switch em uma nova versão! O que muitos fãs de Pokemon esperavam está acontecendo, Pokemon Snap está de volta. Originalmente o título foi lançado para o console Nintendo 64 (N64) e consistia em tirar fotos dos pokemons em movimento em diversos habitats. Foi anunciado recentemente que um novo título da série está a caminho do Nintendo Switch e seu desenvolvimento está sendo feito pelo estúdio da Bandai Namco. Chamado de New Pokemon Snap, o game foi anunciado através de um trailer revelado pela The Pokemon Company.Ainda não há uma data de lançamento para New Pokemon Snap BGS 2020 é cancelada por conta da pandemia Principal feira de games da América Latina, a Brasil Game Show (BGS) de 2020 foi cancelada por conta da pandemia do novo coronavírus. Em comunicado na tarde desta sexta-feira, a organização informou que o evento, programado para acontecer entre os dias 8 e 12 de outubro, não será realizado este ano. A 13ª edição da BGS acontecerá nos mesmos dias, só que em 2021. Rumorlandia Rumor: Suicide Squad é o novo jogo da Rocksteady A história do jogo de Suicide Squad chegou a estar associado à WB Montreal, mas que não conseguiu impressionar os líderes da editora, acabando cancelado antes de iniciar o desenvolvimento. Pois bem, de acordo com Imran Khan, do Kinda Funny, o jogo da equipa de deslocados da DC pode continuar de pé, assumido por um estúdio especial para os fãs dos videojogos, a Rocksteady. Estamos em território lamacento, afinal, há quase cinco anos que não ouvimos nada sobre a Rocksteady, que depois da fantástica trilogia Batman Arkham, como que desapareceu do mapa, estando a trabalhar em algo super-secreto. Informações anteriores sugeriram que o novo projeto do estúdio continuaria no espaço dos personagens da DC, as principais propriedades ao serviço da Warner Bros. Interactive. Falou-se durante muito tempo da hipótese Super-Homem, por exemplo, mas Imran Khan revelou ter ouvido que o jogo seria um live service baseado no Esquadrão, uma informação que nunca mais viu desmentida. Rumor: SEGA pode estar produzindo novo jogo da série Super Monkey Ball No ano passado, a produtora japonesa SEGA lançou o remaster Super Monkey Ball: Banana Biltz HD para PCs e consoles. Porém, faz quase oito anos que a empresa não lança um título inédito na franquia para uma plataforma dedicada a games. Tal cenário, no entanto, pode mudar em breve. É o que indica o locutor do primeiro game da série, Brian Matt-Uhl. Em entrevista ao youtuber Nick Robinson, com quem já produziu conteúdos anteriores sobre Super Monkey Ball para a internet, Matt-Uhl afirmou que realizou gravações para um projeto da SEGA. Essa declaração veio após o ator postar uma série de mensagens crípticas sobre a franquia em suas redes sociais. Ao ser perguntado sobre quais falas gravou, ele respondeu com palavras e frases na entonação usada em sua locução para Super Monkey Ball (GC). Entre elas, está “Goal!”, “Retro Mode 5”, “Advanced Level 1”, “Enhanced Level 1” e falas relacionadas à economia do game, como “Risk 100 Coins”, “Risk 1 Gigabyte” e “Risk 5 Gigabytes”. Matt-Uhl também sinalizou que um novo personagem chamado GoGo pode ser introduzido neste game. Além disso, Robinson, por meio de dicas deixadas pelo ator durante a entrevista e em posts no Instagram, especula que o nome deste novo jogo seria Super Monkey Ball Retro, que seu level design seria mais alinhado ao dos dois primeiros jogos para GameCube e que ele teria o envolvimento de Masao Shirosaki, diretor de Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, e de Toshihiro Nagoshi, criador da série. Até o momento, a SEGA não se pronunciou sobre um novo jogo. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time vaza e sugere game para PS4 e Xbox One Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time pode ser a nova aventura do marsupial para PlayStation 4 (PS4) e Xbox One. O game, que ainda não foi anunciado oficialmente, foi registrado pelo Comitê de Classificação de jogos Digitais de Taiwan nesta quinta-feira (19) – o que confirmou os rumores em torno do próximo título da franquia. Além da arte da capa do jogo, também foi revelado que a aventura se passa em 1998.

In una miniera in Sicilia (“la buca della Cace”), una sera il sorvegliante Cacciagallina, con la pistola in pugno, ordina ai suoi lavoratori di continuare a lavorare tutta la notte per finire il carico della giornata. Cacciagallina se la prende in particolar modo con un vecchio minatore, cieco da un occhio, chiamato Zi’ Scarda. Mentre tutti minatori, però, si rifiutano e tornano in paese, solo il vecchio Zi’ Scarda rimane, insieme al caruso Ciàula 1. Anche se molto stanco, il ragazzo, “che aveva più di trent’anni (e poteva averne anche sette o settanta, scemo com’era)”, non può che rimanere, obbedendo agli ordini di Zi’ Scarda. Ciàula è del resto abituato alla scarsa luce della miniera, dove non ha paura del buio ed anzi si trova perfettamente a proprio agio come un animale nel suo ambiente naturale...

Se o teu sonho não te assusta, ele é pequeno demais! Começando com esse pensamento, qual o "leão" que você precisa caçar? Qual sua atitude com relação aos teus sonhos?

  Welcome to MR, the podcast for beginners and insiders about the ideas, people and movements who have shaped rhetorical history. I’m Mary Hedengren and a big thanks to the Humanities Media Project at the University of Texas for support for this show. Also thanks to Jacob in the booth. Today, All Hallow’s Eve is upon us and it’s been a long time since I attempted some terrible British accents, which means it’s time for the Mere Rhetoric HALLOWEEN SPECIAL [thunder sounds? Screeching cat? What have you.] But first, some background.   When you’re asked to give a description of what rhetoric is, as we did in our very first episode, What is Rhetoric?, you might say something like, “It’s the use of words to persuade someone,” and you would imagine someone in a toga standing around on a rostom shout-talking at people, but that’s not exactly all rhetoric is. Remember Kenneth Burke’s definition of rhetoric: that we can “influence each other's thinking and behavior through the strategic use of symbols.” Even Aristotle says that rhetoric is about discovering the available means of persuasion. Verbal or alphabetic rhetoric is only one of those available means of persuasion. Visual rhetoric is another.   As you might suspect, visual rhetoric focuses on other kinds of symbols than just words. Visual rhetoricians might interrogate the influence on other people of war posters, cartoons, even the layout of airport security. But visual rhetoric isn’t just about the object of study.   Sonja Foss puts it this way:   Visual rhetoric refers not only to the visual object as a communicative artifact but also to a perspective scholars take on visual imagery or visual data. In this meaning of the term, visual rhetoric constitutes a theoretical perspective that involves the analysis of the symbolic or communicative aspects of visual artifacts. It is a critical-analytical tool or a way of approaching and analyzing visual data that highlights the communicative dimensions of images or objects (305-306)   As you might imagine, visual rhetoric opens up a lot of possiblities for scholars. And those scholars will need more theories of how to approach that those artifacts. Foss herself suggests that critics look first at the elements of the object, then   Kostelnick and Roberts create canons of visual rhetoric [what do you think? The cannon sound again?] Really? As I was saying, these canons of visual rehtoric  parallel the classical canons of rhetoric. these canons can be remembered by the British-inspired acronym CACE-TE, but you have to be creative with your spelling the first C stand for Clarity, or ease of understanding for the reader. A stands for arrangement, how the visual elements are laid out; the second C (I told you that you had to be creative in how you spell CACE) is for concision with nothing extraneous; the E is for emphasis. TE is also spelled poorly: T for tone--sarcastic or sincere, loving or rageful and E for ethos--demonstrating good will for the reader. Clarity, Arrangement, Concision, Emphasis Tone, Ethos: Cake and tea. Do you know what else is british? M. R. James ghost stories. And this year’s story demonstrates the dark side of looking too deeply into visual artifacts. And so, without futher aido, M. R. James’ 1904 story, “The Mezzotint.” Some time ago I believe I had the pleasure of telling you the story of an adventure which happened to a friend of mine by the name of Dennistoun, during his pursuit of objects of art for the museum at Cambridge.   He did not publish his experiences very widely upon his return to England; but they could not fail to become known to a good many of his friends, and among others to the gentleman who at that time presided over an art museum at another University. It was to be expected that the story should make a considerable impression on the mind of a man whose vocation lay in lines similar to Dennistoun’s, and that he should be eager to catch at any explanation of the matter which tended to make it seem improbable that he should ever be called upon to deal with so agitating an emergency. It was, indeed, somewhat consoling to him to reflect that he was not expected to acquire ancient MSS. for his institution; that was the business of the Shelburnian Library. The authorities of that institution might, if they pleased, ransack obscure corners of the Continent for such matters. He was glad to be obliged at the moment to confine his attention to enlarging the already unsurpassed collection of English topographical drawings and engravings possessed by his museum. Yet, as it turned out, even a department so homely and familiar as this may have its dark corners, and to one of these Mr Williams was unexpectedly introduced.   Those who have taken even the most limited interest in the acquisition of topographical pictures are aware that there is one London dealer whose aid is indispensable to their researches. Mr J. W. Britnell publishes at short intervals very admirable catalogues of a large and constantly changing stock of engravings, plans, and old sketches of mansions, churches, and towns in England and Wales. These catalogues were, of course, the ABC of his subject to Mr Williams: but as his museum already contained an enormous accumulation of topographical pictures, he was a regular, rather than a copious, buyer; and he rather looked to Mr Britnell to fill up gaps in the rank and file of his collection than to supply him with rarities.   Now, in February of last year there appeared upon Mr Williams’s desk at the museum a catalogue from Mr Britnell’s emporium, and accompanying it was a typewritten communication from the dealer himself. This latter ran as follows:   Dear Sir,   We beg to call your attention to No. 978 in our accompanying catalogue, which we shall be glad to send on approval.   Yours faithfully,   W. Britnell.   To turn to No. 978 in the accompanying catalogue was with Mr. Williams (as he observed to himself) the work of a moment, and in the place indicated he found the following entry:   978.— Unknown. Interesting mezzotint: View of a manor-house, early part of the century. 15 by 10 inches; black frame. £2 2s.   It was not specially exciting, and the price seemed high. However, as Mr Britnell, who knew his business and his customer, seemed to set store by it, Mr Williams wrote a postcard asking for the article to be sent on approval, along with some other engravings and sketches which appeared in the same catalogue. And so he passed without much excitement of anticipation to the ordinary labours of the day.   A parcel of any kind always arrives a day later than you expect it, and that of Mr Britnell proved, as I believe the right phrase goes, no exception to the rule. It was delivered at the museum by the afternoon post of Saturday, after Mr Williams had left his work, and it was accordingly brought round to his rooms in college by the attendant, in order that he might not have to wait over Sunday before looking through it and returning such of the contents as he did not propose to keep. And here he found it when he came in to tea, with a friend.   The only item with which I am concerned was the rather large, black-framed mezzotint of which I have already quoted the short description given in Mr Britnell’s catalogue. Some more details of it will have to be given, though I cannot hope to put before you the look of the picture as clearly as it is present to my own eye. Very nearly the exact duplicate of it may be seen in a good many old inn parlours, or in the passages of undisturbed country mansions at the present moment. It was a rather indifferent mezzotint, and an indifferent mezzotint is, perhaps, the worst form of engraving known. It presented a full-face view of a not very large manor-house of the last century, with three rows of plain sashed windows with rusticated masonry about them, a parapet with balls or vases at the angles, and a small portico in the centre. On either side were trees, and in front a considerable expanse of lawn. The legend A. W. F. sculpsit was engraved on the narrow margin; and there was no further inscription. The whole thing gave the impression that it was the work of an amateur. What in the world Mr Britnell could mean by affixing the price of £2 2s. to such an object was more than Mr Williams could imagine. He turned it over with a good deal of contempt; upon the back was a paper label, the left-hand half of which had been torn off. All that remained were the ends of two lines of writing; the first had the letters — ngley Hall ; the second,— ssex .   It would, perhaps, be just worth while to identify the place represented, which he could easily do with the help of a gazetteer, and then he would send it back to Mr Britnell, with some remarks reflecting upon the judgement of that gentleman.   He lighted the candles, for it was now dark, made the tea, and supplied the friend with whom he had been playing golf (for I believe the authorities of the University I write of indulge in that pursuit by way of relaxation); and tea was taken to the accompaniment of a discussion which golfing persons can imagine for themselves, but which the conscientious writer has no right to inflict upon any non-golfing persons.   The conclusion arrived at was that certain strokes might have been better, and that in certain emergencies neither player had experienced that amount of luck which a human being has a right to expect. It was now that the friend — let us call him Professor Binks — took up the framed engraving and said:   ‘What’s this place, Williams?’   ‘Just what I am going to try to find out,’ said Williams, going to the shelf for a gazetteer. ‘Look at the back. Somethingley Hall, either in Sussex or Essex. Half the name’s gone, you see. You don’t happen to know it, I suppose?’   ‘It’s from that man Britnell, I suppose, isn’t it?’ said Binks. ‘Is it for the museum?’   ‘Well, I think I should buy it if the price was five shillings,’ said Williams; ‘but for some unearthly reason he wants two guineas for it. I can’t conceive why. It’s a wretched engraving, and there aren’t even any figures to give it life.’   ‘It’s not worth two guineas, I should think,’ said Binks; ‘but I don’t think it’s so badly done. The moonlight seems rather good to me; and I should have thought there were figures, or at least a figure, just on the edge in front.’   ‘Let’s look,’ said Williams. ‘Well, it’s true the light is rather cleverly given. Where’s your figure? Oh, yes! Just the head, in the very front of the picture.’   And indeed there was — hardly more than a black blot on the extreme edge of the engraving — the head of a man or woman, a good deal muffled up, the back turned to the spectator, and looking towards the house.   Williams had not noticed it before.   ‘Still,’ he said, ‘though it’s a cleverer thing than I thought, I can’t spend two guineas of museum money on a picture of a place I don’t know.’   Professor Binks had his work to do, and soon went; and very nearly up to Hall time Williams was engaged in a vain attempt to identify the subject of his picture. ‘If the vowel before the ng had only been left, it would have been easy enough,’ he thought; ‘but as it is, the name may be anything from Guestingley to Langley, and there are many more names ending like this than I thought; and this rotten book has no index of terminations.’   Hall in Mr Williams’s college was at seven. It need not be dwelt upon; the less so as he met there colleagues who had been playing golf during the afternoon, and words with which we have no concern were freely bandied across the table — merely golfing words, I would hasten to explain.   I suppose an hour or more to have been spent in what is called common-room after dinner. Later in the evening some few retired to Williams’s rooms, and I have little doubt that whist was played and tobacco smoked. During a lull in these operations Williams picked up the mezzotint from the table without looking at it, and handed it to a person mildly interested in art, telling him where it had come from, and the other particulars which we already know.   The gentleman took it carelessly, looked at it, then said, in a tone of some interest:   ‘It’s really a very good piece of work, Williams; it has quite a feeling of the romantic period. The light is admirably managed, it seems to me, and the figure, though it’s rather too grotesque, is somehow very impressive.’   ‘Yes, isn’t it?’ said Williams, who was just then busy giving whisky and soda to others of the company, and was unable to come across the room to look at the view again.   It was by this time rather late in the evening, and the visitors were on the move. After they went Williams was obliged to write a letter or two and clear up some odd bits of work. At last, some time past midnight, he was disposed to turn in, and he put out his lamp after lighting his bedroom candle. The picture lay face upwards on the table where the last man who looked at it had put it, and it caught his eye as he turned the lamp down. What he saw made him very nearly drop the candle on the floor, and he declares now if he had been left in the dark at that moment he would have had a fit. But, as that did not happen, he was able to put down the light on the table and take a good look at the picture. It was indubitable — rankly impossible, no doubt, but absolutely certain. In the middle of the lawn in front of the unknown house there was a figure where no figure had been at five o’clock that afternoon. It was crawling on all fours towards the house, and it was muffled in a strange black garment with a white cross on the back.   I do not know what is the ideal course to pursue in a situation of this kind, I can only tell you what Mr Williams did. He took the picture by one corner and carried it across the passage to a second set of rooms which he possessed. There he locked it up in a drawer, sported the doors of both sets of rooms, and retired to bed; but first he wrote out and signed an account of the extraordinary change which the picture had undergone since it had come into his possession.   Sleep visited him rather late; but it was consoling to reflect that the behaviour of the picture did not depend upon his own unsupported testimony. Evidently the man who had looked at it the night before had seen something of the same kind as he had, otherwise he might have been tempted to think that something gravely wrong was happening either to his eyes or his mind. This possibility being fortunately precluded, two matters awaited him on the morrow. He must take stock of the picture very carefully, and call in a witness for the purpose, and he must make a determined effort to ascertain what house it was that was represented. He would therefore ask his neighbour Nisbet to breakfast with him, and he would subsequently spend a morning over the gazetteer.   Nisbet was disengaged, and arrived about 9.20. His host was not quite dressed, I am sorry to say, even at this late hour. During breakfast nothing was said about the mezzotint by Williams, save that he had a picture on which he wished for Nisbet’s opinion. But those who are familiar with University life can picture for themselves the wide and delightful range of subjects over which the conversation of two Fellows of Canterbury College is likely to extend during a Sunday morning breakfast. Hardly a topic was left unchallenged, from golf to lawn-tennis. Yet I am bound to say that Williams was rather distraught; for his interest naturally centred in that very strange picture which was now reposing, face downwards, in the drawer in the room opposite.   The morning pipe was at last lighted, and the moment had arrived for which he looked. With very considerable — almost tremulous — excitement he ran across, unlocked the drawer, and, extracting the picture — still face downwards — ran back, and put it into Nisbet’s hands.   ‘Now,’ he said, ‘Nisbet, I want you to tell me exactly what you see in that picture. Describe it, if you don’t mind, rather minutely. I’ll tell you why afterwards.’   ‘Well,’ said Nisbet, ‘I have here a view of a country-house — English, I presume — by moonlight.’   ‘Moonlight? You’re sure of that?’   ‘Certainly. The moon appears to be on the wane, if you wish for details, and there are clouds in the sky.’   ‘All right. Go on. I’ll swear,’ added Williams in an aside, ‘there was no moon when I saw it first.’   ‘Well, there’s not much more to be said,’ Nisbet continued. ‘The house has one — two — three rows of windows, five in each row, except at the bottom, where there’s a porch instead of the middle one, and —’   ‘But what about figures?’ said Williams, with marked interest.   ‘There aren’t any,’ said Nisbet; ‘but —’   ‘What! No figure on the grass in front?’   ‘Not a thing.’   ‘You’ll swear to that?’   ‘Certainly I will. But there’s just one other thing.’   ‘What?’   ‘Why, one of the windows on the ground-floor — left of the door — is open.’   ‘Is it really so? My goodness! he must have got in,’ said Williams, with great excitement; and he hurried to the back of the sofa on which Nisbet was sitting, and, catching the picture from him, verified the matter for himself.   It was quite true. There was no figure, and there was the open window. Williams, after a moment of speechless surprise, went to the writing-table and scribbled for a short time. Then he brought two papers to Nisbet, and asked him first to sign one — it was his own description of the picture, which you have just heard — and then to read the other which was Williams’s statement written the night before.   ‘What can it all mean?’ said Nisbet.   ‘Exactly,’ said Williams. ‘Well, one thing I must do — or three things, now I think of it. I must find out from Garwood’— this was his last night’s visitor —‘what he saw, and then I must get the thing photographed before it goes further, and then I must find out what the place is.’   ‘I can do the photographing myself,’ said Nisbet, ‘and I will. But, you know, it looks very much as if we were assisting at the working out of a tragedy somewhere. The question is, has it happened already, or is it going to come off? You must find out what the place is. Yes,’ he said, looking at the picture again, ‘I expect you’re right: he has got in. And if I don’t mistake, there’ll be the devil to pay in one of the rooms upstairs.’   ‘I’ll tell you what,’ said Williams: ‘I’ll take the picture across to old Green’ (this was the senior Fellow of the College, who had been Bursar for many years). ‘It’s quite likely he’ll know it. We have property in Essex and Sussex, and he must have been over the two counties a lot in his time.’   ‘Quite likely he will,’ said Nisbet; ‘but just let me take my photograph first. But look here, I rather think Green isn’t up today. He wasn’t in Hall last night, and I think I heard him say he was going down for the Sunday.’   ‘That’s true, too,’ said Williams; ‘I know he’s gone to Brighton. Well, if you’ll photograph it now, I’ll go across to Garwood and get his statement, and you keep an eye on it while I’m gone. I’m beginning to think two guineas is not a very exorbitant price for it now.’   In a short time he had returned, and brought Mr Garwood with him. Garwood’s statement was to the effect that the figure, when he had seen it, was clear of the edge of the picture, but had not got far across the lawn. He remembered a white mark on the back of its drapery, but could not have been sure it was a cross. A document to this effect was then drawn up and signed, and Nisbet proceeded to photograph the picture.   ‘Now what do you mean to do?’ he said. ‘Are you going to sit and watch it all day?’   ‘Well, no, I think not,’ said Williams. ‘I rather imagine we’re meant to see the whole thing. You see, between the time I saw it last night and this morning there was time for lots of things to happen, but the creature only got into the house. It could easily have got through its business in the time and gone to its own place again; but the fact of the window being open, I think, must mean that it’s in there now. So I feel quite easy about leaving it. And besides, I have a kind of idea that it wouldn’t change much, if at all, in the daytime. We might go out for a walk this afternoon, and come in to tea, or whenever it gets dark. I shall leave it out on the table here, and sport the door. My skip can get in, but no one else.’   The three agreed that this would be a good plan; and, further, that if they spent the afternoon together they would be less likely to talk about the business to other people; for any rumour of such a transaction as was going on would bring the whole of the Phasmatological Society about their ears.   We may give them a respite until five o’clock.   At or near that hour the three were entering Williams’s staircase. They were at first slightly annoyed to see that the door of his rooms was unsported; but in a moment it was remembered that on Sunday the skips came for orders an hour or so earlier than on weekdays. However, a surprise was awaiting them. The first thing they saw was the picture leaning up against a pile of books on the table, as it had been left, and the next thing was Williams’s skip, seated on a chair opposite, gazing at it with undisguised horror. How was this? Mr Filcher (the name is not my own invention) was a servant of considerable standing, and set the standard of etiquette to all his own college and to several neighbouring ones, and nothing could be more alien to his practice than to be found sitting on his master’s chair, or appearing to take any particular notice of his master’s furniture or pictures. Indeed, he seemed to feel this himself. He started violently when the three men were in the room, and got up with a marked effort. Then he said:   ‘I ask your pardon, sir, for taking such a freedom as to set down.’   ‘Not at all, Robert,’ interposed Mr Williams. ‘I was meaning to ask you some time what you thought of that picture.’   ‘Well, sir, of course I don’t set up my opinion against yours, but it ain’t the pictur I should ‘ang where my little girl could see it, sir.’   ‘Wouldn’t you, Robert? Why not?’   ‘No, sir. Why, the pore child, I recollect once she see a Door Bible, with pictures not ‘alf what that is, and we ‘ad to set up with her three or four nights afterwards, if you’ll believe me; and if she was to ketch a sight of this skelinton here, or whatever it is, carrying off the pore baby, she would be in a taking. You know ‘ow it is with children; ‘ow nervish they git with a little thing and all. But what I should say, it don’t seem a right pictur to be laying about, sir, not where anyone that’s liable to be startled could come on it. Should you be wanting anything this evening, sir? Thank you, sir.’   With these words the excellent man went to continue the round of his masters, and you may be sure the gentlemen whom he left lost no time in gathering round the engraving. There was the house, as before under the waning moon and the drifting clouds. The window that had been open was shut, and the figure was once more on the lawn: but not this time crawling cautiously on hands and knees. Now it was erect and stepping swiftly, with long strides, towards the front of the picture. The moon was behind it, and the black drapery hung down over its face so that only hints of that could be seen, and what was visible made the spectators profoundly thankful that they could see no more than a white dome-like forehead and a few straggling hairs. The head was bent down, and the arms were tightly clasped over an object which could be dimly seen and identified as a child, whether dead or living it was not possible to say. The legs of the appearance alone could be plainly discerned, and they were horribly thin.   From five to seven the three companions sat and watched the picture by turns. But it never changed. They agreed at last that it would be safe to leave it, and that they would return after Hall and await further developments.   When they assembled again, at the earliest possible moment, the engraving was there, but the figure was gone, and the house was quiet under the moonbeams. There was nothing for it but to spend the evening over gazetteers and guide-books. Williams was the lucky one at last, and perhaps he deserved it. At 11.30 p.m. he read from Murray’s Guide to Essex the following lines:   16–1/2 miles, Anningley . The church has been an interesting building of Norman date, but was extensively classicized in the last century. It contains the tomb of the family of Francis, whose mansion, Anningley Hall, a solid Queen Anne house, stands immediately beyond the churchyard in a park of about 80 acres. The family is now extinct, the last heir having disappeared mysteriously in infancy in the year 1802. The father, Mr Arthur Francis, was locally known as a talented amateur engraver in mezzotint. After his son’s disappearance he lived in complete retirement at the Hall, and was found dead in his studio on the third anniversary of the disaster, having just completed an engraving of the house, impressions of which are of considerable rarity.   This looked like business, and, indeed, Mr Green on his return at once identified the house as Anningley Hall.   ‘Is there any kind of explanation of the figure, Green?’ was the question which Williams naturally asked.   ‘I don’t know, I’m sure, Williams. What used to be said in the place when I first knew it, which was before I came up here, was just this: old Francis was always very much down on these poaching fellows, and whenever he got a chance he used to get a man whom he suspected of it turned off the estate, and by degrees he got rid of them all but one. Squires could do a lot of things then that they daren’t think of now. Well, this man that was left was what you find pretty often in that country — the last remains of a very old family. I believe they were Lords of the Manor at one time. I recollect just the same thing in my own parish.’   ‘What, like the man in Tess o’ the Durbervilles ?’ Williams put in.   ‘Yes, I dare say; it’s not a book I could ever read myself. But this fellow could show a row of tombs in the church there that belonged to his ancestors, and all that went to sour him a bit; but Francis, they said, could never get at him — he always kept just on the right side of the law — until one night the keepers found him at it in a wood right at the end of the estate. I could show you the place now; it marches with some land that used to belong to an uncle of mine. And you can imagine there was a row; and this man Gawdy (that was the name, to be sure — Gawdy; I thought I should get it — Gawdy), he was unlucky enough, poor chap! to shoot a keeper. Well, that was what Francis wanted, and grand juries — you know what they would have been then — and poor Gawdy was strung up in double-quick time; and I’ve been shown the place he was buried in, on the north side of the church — you know the way in that part of the world: anyone that’s been hanged or made away with themselves, they bury them that side. And the idea was that some friend of Gawdy’s — not a relation, because he had none, poor devil! he was the last of his line: kind of spes ultima gentis — must have planned to get hold of Francis’s boy and put an end to his line, too. I don’t know — it’s rather an out-of-the-way thing for an Essex poacher to think of — but, you know, I should say now it looks more as if old Gawdy had managed the job himself. Booh! I hate to think of it! have some whisky, Williams!’   The facts were communicated by Williams to Dennistoun, and by him to a mixed company, of which I was one, and the Sadducean Professor of Ophiology another. I am sorry to say that the latter when asked what he thought of it, only remarked: ‘Oh, those Bridgeford people will say anything’— a sentiment which met with the reception it deserved.   I have only to add that the picture is now in the Ashleian Museum; that it has been treated with a view to discovering whether sympathetic ink has been used in it, but without effect; that Mr Britnell knew nothing of it save that he was sure it was uncommon; and that, though carefully watched, it has never been known to change again.
