Curriculum as Divergence

Curriculum as Divergence is a program option within the Master of Education (MEd), Interdisciplinary route. Visit the MEd, Interdisciplinary Route page for complete MEd details including fees

Contemporary curriculum studies might be characterised by its divergent viewpoints, its recognition of the ideological basis of curriculum and pedagogy, and its insistence on the need to connect education to pressing social, cultural, political, economic, and environmental issues. Multidisciplinary in approach, curriculum studies draws from numerous perspectives and intellectual traditions that include postcolonialism, feminism, cultural studies, sexuality and gender studies, Indigenous education, environmental education, social justice education, and critical theory.

This four-course topic recognizes that diversity, providing students with an opportunity to undertake in-depth examinations of the varied ways we might understand, theorize and enact curriculum across a range of educational contexts.  After an introductory course that surveys the histories and schools of curriculum inquiry, students examine curriculum scholarship and practices through three distinct but complementary lenses. In the first of these courses, students address the relationship between curriculum and place, with a particular focus on Indigenous ways of knowing and being. In the second course, students analyze curriculum as dialogue, considering whose voices are privileged within curriculum-making and classroom discourse. In the final course, students explore the role of activism, arts, critical literacy and anti-oppression education in producing curriculum as a space of resistance. Given its scope and its commitment to examining curriculum across a range of contexts, this program will appeal to individuals from a variety of settings.

Target Audience: K-12, Not-For-Profit & Community-Based Educators

This certificate will be relevant to individuals located within a range of settings, including K-12 and higher education across disciplines, community-based and informal education, educational leadership, media and the arts, and the not-for-profit sector.

Program Goals:

  • To understand the historical roots and contemporary themes of curriculum studies

  • To critically reflect on the ways that curriculum both shapes and is shaped by contemporary public discourses

  • To provoke dialogue on the political nature of curriculum, pedagogy and education

  • To understand curriculum’s relationship to significant social and political movements and concepts, including colonialism, resistance, Indigenous resurgence, democracy, social justice and public protest

  • To apply course materials, discussions and activities to students’ own experiences, scholarly work and/or work in educational settings

3 units per course

EDER 693.19 Curriculum as possibility

This course will introduce students to the contested terrain of curriculum inquiry. Students will reflect on the politics of curriculum scholarship and practices, and examine the many ways that curriculum has been conceptualized throughout curriculum studies’ history. These conceptualizations may include considering curriculum as planned, emergent, permeable, hidden, enacted and lived. Students will also be encouraged to explore new possibilities for understanding curriculum that respond to contemporary life.

EDER 693.20 Curriculum as place

Students in this course will examine the often under-acknowledged importance of place in curriculum research and practice. Drawing on Indigenous, Euro-Western and other culturally rooted scholarship and practice, students will inquire into the relationships between knowledge, people and the more-than-human world. Topics to be considered may include: place-based learning; ecological ways of knowing; responsibility to land and place; wisdom and intergenerational ways of knowing; and schools and classrooms as places.

EDER 693.21 Curriculum as dialogue

Curriculum studies has a long tradition of examining the relationships between education, dialogue and democracy. Students in this course will consider the power dynamics that occur in educational settings, and the possibilities for creating dialogic and equitable spaces and practices. Topics to be considered may include: student voice; classroom discourse and power relations; collective knowledge creation; the child as a legitimate source of knowledge; teachers’ and students’ mediation of the curriculum; and democracy, citizenship and education.

EDER 693.22 Curriculum as resistance

In this course, students will consider the potential for activism, protest, meaning-making and the arts to address social injustice and assert agency in everyday life and educational settings. Topics for exploration may include: art-making as resistance; education and environmentalism; youth activism; learner disengagement as protest; critical literacy and counter-narratives; education for social justice; and feminist, queer, Indigenous, anti-colonial, anti-racist and anti-oppression perspectives on curriculum.

Covid-19 Information sheet

Now we have a provisional opening date of the 3rd July from the Government, we are starting to take bookings for the cottages.

With this in mind and still such uncertainty we have made the decision to make booking flexible for your peace of mind. Bookings for at least the rest of the summer/year will now not require a deposit, so you will not pay a penny when making the booking. Instead we will wait untill we know your booking will be going ahead so the full balance will also now be due not 30days before but 14 or 7 days before your arrival date, which also allow you to cancel free of charge if need be.

Our cottages are all mainy in rural areas and where not, social distancing is well practised here being a small town. Locals will welcome visitors as long as government advice on on Covid-19 is maintained. Our self - check in procedure will remain in operation like always you will receive your arrival instructions on how to access the property to further protect guests and staff.

We have implemented new cleaning protocols and done risk assessment across all properties to ensure a high standard 2 step clean and disinfect is achieved. All cleaners will go through training and checklists for every clean and of course will be wearing the full PPE equipement to do changeovers, in addition we have completed the Covid-19 cleaning training course. We are following every guideline set out by ASSC, BH & HPA through Scottish government.

It has been a tough few months since the close and have been very greatful to all the guests support throughout. so know that we are back up and running for the middle of summer please do have a browse of our beautiful cottages and hopefully see you very soon when things return to the new normal.

We are delighted to be able to welcome guests back to West Coast Cottages after the Coronavirus Lockdown.  As you will understand, new cleaning and safety protocols have had to be put in place, to assure the safety of you – our guests – and that of our staff and family.

Following pacific guidelines, we use the advised two-step cleaning schedule.  Before you arrive, once the cleaning is finished, to its usual high standard, we then go round again, sanitising everything with an approved disinfectant.  Care is taken to ensure “high touch” areas are not missed – light switches, remote controls, handles, rails, keys etc.

Important - Our Water & Sewage Treatment Plant for Rural Cottages

Being rural, (in certain properties) we are NOT on mains drainage but have our own water and sewage treatment plant.  This is very efficient, and really environmentally friendly, and generally works brilliantly, producing water clean enough to go directly into a watercourse, but it does need to be managed properly.  It is REALLY IMPORTANT that you please do NOT bring or use any bleach or antibacterial detergents, antibacterial hand soaps or antibacterial cleaning agents with you on holiday to use in the cottage.  We cannot use these with our water treatment system.  We provide you with non-bio washing tabs, liquid soap, and septic-tank friendly cleaning agents.  Do feel free to use your own, but only if it they are septic-tank-friendly (i.e. non-biological and not antibacterial).  Septic tanks, treatment plants, and biodigesters work because they contain millions of good bacteria that munch everything up, break down solids, and keep odours under control.  Bleach and antibacterial agents don’t differentiate between good and bad bacteria.  They kill both, and stop the treatment plant from working, which could have disastrous consequences for both your comfort, and potentially your health.  We can manage this during changeovers by using highly powerful virucides and storing them until they can safely be disposed of when they have broken down harmlessly after 24 hours.  This is not the case for household bleach or antibacterial sprays ending up being washed down the sink.  We do provide you with septic-tank-friendly cleaning agents, and also with antibacterial surface wipes, which can be used to sanitise but thrown in the bin.  Please use these instead.  This will protect the water treatment system (and you… you really don’t want to upset it!).

Covid Care of bespoke action while it is reassuring to know that the science now seems to be saying that contracting Coronavirus from touch is low risk - - the advice is still to maintain social distancing, wash your hands frequently (or use hand sanitiser where washing isn’t possible) and use masks and gloves when in enclosed areas where social distancing is difficult.  To help ease you, we have provided you with hand sanitiser and antibacterial handwipes in each property for entering and leaving.

End of stay bed Linen removal to protect our staff, the industry guidance recommendation is to request guests to strip bed sheets ONLY - (please do not put pillow/mattress protector in with these as they go else where for cleaning) before departure and place bedding and towels in the bags provided (if no bag left, please wrap all linen up in one sheet).  The laundry will then be removed and left for 72 hours before being laundered, to minimise contamination risk.  Please also ensure the bin bags are removed from the cottage and placed in the outside bins.  We appreciate that this isn’t the most glamorous end to a relaxing holiday, but we do need to minimise the risk to our staff, so your cooperation here would be greatly appreciated.  It would also be appreciated if you could leave the windows open (another recommendation from the protocol).  If it is raining, then obviously not too wide, but enough to provide a through-draft to air the place out.

Dishwasher - we are required to re-wash all crockery and cutlery between changeovers, which is obviously time consuming, so it would be really helpful if you could fully load the dishwasher and set it running before leaving.  Please leave the clean dishes in the dishwasher, so that we know that batch has been done.  Many thanks!

If you get ill during your stay if you or a member of your party develops symptoms of Coronavirus during your stay, it is important that you let us know as soon as possible.  There is a different set of procedures that applies in the event of suspected actual case of disease at any given place that we would need to follow. Government advice if you suspect you have developed the symptoms of Coronavirus is for you and your party to go home and self-isolate there asap.  Extracted from UKH guidance - Suspected coronavirus cases in your business: “If a guest presents themselves with symptoms of COVID-19 or is asymptomatic but declares the need to self-isolate, they should be advised to check out and return home to self-isolate according to current government guidance.  If the guest shows acute symptoms has breathing difficulties or their life is at potential risk, seek medical help immediately.” We hope that you will have a fabulous holiday.  The “new normal” may be slightly different than what we are all used to, but it is great to be able to get away again, and if we all take responsibility for minimising risk, then hopefully we won’t get locked down again!

If you have any questions, please call us – mobile 07810347842 or 07760222154.

Thank you for choosing West Coast Cottages for your Holiday, we look forward to having you stay in the near future!

Stay safe and well,

Following on from a very confusing couple of days of if self-catering was included or not in the new rule, I am very sorry to have to issue a further update on the One Household Rule as Scottish Government has revised it’s position and advice.  It has now been confirmed that the rule does apply to Holiday Self Catering Properties and will be enacted in law tomorrow, this is as noted in the release that Fergus Ewing gave to ASSC last night and as noted below.
The application of this measures will prevent some guests from taking up their holiday.

In accordance Scottish government directives to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, and the announcement that all guest accommodation is included in the 1 household rule effectively from 25/9/20. We want all our guest to have a wonderful break here in Oban, Scotland but with the current situation it makes that difficult if you were wanting to come with freinds and family, therefore, would like to offer you the option to modify or prospone your arrival date.

We are a small family business, and this is has hit tourism in our beautiful area hard. It is nothing short of catastrophic and I know our sector will not be the only one to suffer. However, there are things you can do to make this situation easier for all of us:

1. If you want to cancel your booking, you may very well have travel insurance that will cover the stay. You may have your own separate travel insurance, or be covered by your bank account benefits, and most credit card providers also include travel insurance as a standard benefit. Please check your policy now, and if you have cover, make a claim. We will happily provide an invoice or other evidence to support your claim.

2. The best thing you can do, both for you and for us, is not to cancel, but merely to postpone. we would be delighted to allow guests to postpone their visit. We can move your booking to a new date either to the end of this season or even to 2021. Please don’t hesitate to contact us (probably best by email) to discuss. Likewise, if you would still like to take up your holiday with one household, please get in touch to discuss options.

3. Alternatively, we can offer a voucher for the full value of your current booking. This can be redeemed against the property later – valid for a full year from issue – either by phone or online through our booking system. Clearly we can’t issue a voucher if you are intending to cancel and claim a refund from your insurance, but even if you have insurance the time and effort to make a claim may make a voucher for the full value an easier option for you. It would be our preferred course of action for all our guests.

These are unsettling and uncertain times for everyone. It has been hugely comforting to find that many of our guests have already asked us to postpone their break. The situation has now changed in Scotland and we are requesting our guests to do this – it is a great way to support us and the local community so that we can welcome you back as soon as it’s safe to do so.

Please take care and stay safe.

All the very best,
Gemma & Colin

Breast Revision

Before And After Photos

This is a patient who presented to me after having had previous breast surgery including a breast augmentation and then a breast lift. During one of her pregnancies, she developed mastitis (inflammation of the breast) on her left side which caused marked swelling of the breast and when it subsided she had significant ptosis (sagging) of the breast.

She is seen here after a two stage breast revision procedure. I removed her implants and replaced them with saline implants and revised her mastopexy. On the second procedure, I adjusted her scars so they would be in the curve of her breast and well hidden.

I didn’t plan on a two stage procedure as the reason for the additional one was for improvement on her previous surgery. Some patients are willing to “adjust” or continue to seek improvements even though it is associated with added expense and risk. There are times, however, when I will tell my patient that what has been achieved in my hands is worth leaving well enough alone.

Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell

Former Virginia
Gov. Bob McDonnell

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) _ It was strictly business. That’s what the former CEO of a dietary supplements company is saying about his relationship with former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, who are on trial on corruption charges. The McDonnells are accused of taking more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from Jonnie Williams in exchange for promoting his products.

Williams is testifying for the prosecution under immunity. He said Wednesday that he sought to cultivate a business relationship with the McDonnells because he believed their influence would lend credibility to his products and help him obtain research studies at Virginia medical schools.

He testified about a $20,000 Manhattan shopping spree for Maureen McDonnell and two checks he wrote totaling $65,000 to help them deal with financial problems and pay for catering of a daughter’s wedding.

Oliver NorthFrom Liberty University:  Retired United States Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North will visit Lynchburg and Roanoke Thursday June 12, for one of the first stops on a book tour for his latest novel, “Counterfeit Lies,” scheduled to be released by Threshold Editions on Tuesday.

North served for 22 years as a Marine and has been awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for valor, and two Purple Hearts for wounds received in combat. He was the U.S. government’s counterterrorism coordinator on the National Security Council staff from 1983-86 and is the host of “War Stories with Oliver North,” an award-winning documentary series on the FOX News Channel. Counterfeit Lies, the latest novel by Oliver North, will be published on Tuesday.

(Continue reading for the rest of the news release.)

All 13 of North’s previous books have become New York Times best-sellers. “Counterfeit Lies” is North’s latest fictional release, following “Heroes Proved,” the fifth in his series depicting the clandestine missions of U.S. Marine Peter Newman. North’s autobiography, “Under Fire: An American Story,” was published in 1991. Other works of nonfiction by North include “American Heroes in the Fight against Radical Islam (2008),” “American Heroes in Special Operations (2010),” and “American Heroes on the Homefront (2013).”

North serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association and is the founder of Freedom Alliance, a foundation providing college scholarships to the sons and daughters of U.S. military personnel killed in the line of duty. Liberty also supports active servicemen and women and their families, providing grants and scholarships through the Office of Military Affairs.

The two-week, 36-city book tour started Saturday at the Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Following the approximate one-hour stop at noon in Lynchburg, Va., on Thursday, the bus tour will proceed to Tanglewood Mall Barnes & Noble in Roanoke, Va. for another book signing session that begins at 4:00pm.

Climate change

Let’s talk about climate

I don’t mention climate change anymore. That just sounds too inert. Now, I talk about climate as a crisis, catastrophe, and a breakdown leading to social collapse. After endless conversations with experts, I’ve realised that it’s time for a wake-up call. Climate chaos affects our politics, biodiversity, migration, agriculture and food security, as well as our holidays, health and wellbeing, energy usage and diet.

But recently, I’ve been left speechless on three occasions – when a neighbour fleetingly commented during a heatwave that he doesn’t believe in climate change anyway, when a friend posted gleeful photos of her children watching a captive whale show, and when I spoke to a businessman on a train platform on his way to fly to Boston for three half-hour meetings. I’m stunned by how some people can be so disconnected to the natural world and so blissfully unaware of our often-detrimental effect on it.

We urgently need a step change. Thankfully, the climate movement is picking up momentum. On 20 September, Greta Thunberg and millions of activists around the globe (myself included) will strike from school and work to demand action. Next month, Extinction Rebellion host a peaceful worldwide rebellion (7-18 October), and increasingly, the climate crisis makes front page headlines.

Socially, it’s easier to avoid tricky territory that might result in uncomfortable debate rather than general chit-chat. But according to expert climate communicators, we need to talk about climate more often and more effectively.

Impacts will be greater if approached without judgement, so I need to create a safe space for a two-way exchange of ideas rather than just angrily trying to convince someone they should agree with climate science. David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth, says: “It’s not the climate deniers that worry me, it’s the millions of climate accepters that simply aren’t doing anything about the problem that are the real barrier.”

The US’ Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) empowers high school students to have more climate conversations. After watching this short video, I realised I’d been letting my emotions get the better of me and that my primary mission is to LISTEN and highlight the positive rewards of living a low-carbon lifestyle by focusing on solutions.

Robin Webster, senior climate change engagement strategist for Climate Outreach, is trialling #TalkingClimate, a new citizen science initiative with 400 participants as far flung as Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Australia and the UK, and the biggest ever and most in-depth exploration of peer-to-peer climate exchanges. “It can feel overwhelming when solutions aren’t always obvious and there’s risk of psychological dissonance…often climate change is talked about as something that is far away both in space [for example, melting ice caps in the Arctic] and in time [i.e. looking ahead to 2050],” says Webster. “But we naturally care more about things that affect us more closely, so it needs to directly relate to people’s own lives now.”

Talking about the climate crisis can make for difficult conversations. Image UK Student Climate Network.

Webster notices social norms shifting: “63 per cent of the UK public now agree that we face a climate emergency and 66 per cent of people will make sacrifices for the planet as long as others do the same,” she says.

Webster’s participants are busy recording a conversation diary, making notes about all sorts of conversations about climate change, while taking on board simple ground rules: “Firstly, pick your moment and be open-minded, then tell your own story in an authentic way - describe moments that changed your own perspective – vulnerability and honesty is important,” she says, adding that creating an emotional connection is more important than mentioning shocking facts.

“Make sure you ask the other person what their story is and reflect back what you hear – learn from each other and avoid blame and shame. Find out what values you share and use positive, open body language. Then talk about specifics – climate change is about everything, our health, food systems, energy, heatwaves – this all affects our everyday lives.”

I put this into practice when one woman told me that climate change doesn’t concern her. “I focus on peace, not war, so I imagine how great it will be when the planet is healthy rather than worry about climate change,” she told me.

Previously, this would trigger my urge to communicate the scale of the problem, but I took a deep breath. I found common ground, then explained how my work focuses on solutions and positive action and how that makes me feel more resilient. I didn’t quote any devastating statistics or broad-sweeping statements.

The woman opened up and told me that she didn’t discount climate change at all; in fact, it was very much on her mind but she had a totally different outlook. She detailed how she takes responsibility for reducing her impact on the environment, focuses on making the world a better place and even meditates on healing the planet. Most importantly, we both felt enriched by our exchange.

How to start a climate conversation: top tips from Climate Outreach

  • Validate the other person (‘you’re so right, I find that really hard, too’)
  • Ask open questions (‘what do you think about climate change?’)
  • Make a connection (‘you know what it’s like when you have small kids’)
  • Relate your own experience (‘last year, we went on holiday by train and it was great’)
  • Have a two-way conversation and exchange ideas (remember to listen, not lecture)
  • Reach some positive closure (‘thank you, I’d love to talk about this again with you’)

Five recipes to celebrate the Veg New Year

Each season brings its excitement and pleasures in the kitchen; spring starts with scarcity (the Hungry Gap), then follows with abundance and variety, and what we call the 'Veg New Year'. Each year, by the time we reach June and July, a new crop is starting every week.

After the last month or two of relying on our French farm and other trusted growers overseas to help us fill boxes and offer variety, our boxes are now bursting with homegrown greenery.

Now’s the time to really embrace a life on the veg and celebrate the wealth of colourful, flavoursome veg, fruit and salad our fields and polytunnels have to offer. Here are 5 recipes to bring the best of the season to life.

This is an intensely flavourful tart, redolent of summer. Although the tomatoes take a while to cook, they require little attention and the result is sublimely delicious. Eat for lunch or dinner with a crisp green salad or lightly blanched green beans.

See the full tomato tarte tatin recipe here

This hash is a tick-list of the summer season. We have included some wet garlic which is, essentially, just young garlic, picked before the cloves fully form. It looks like an oversized spring onion or an undersized leek and only needs a very light cook to mellow any raw pungency. If you are an allium aficionado, you could even add it raw and finely sliced. The cucumbers, quickly pickled, make an ideal condiment to the salty ham hock.

See full summer ham hock hash with cucumber pickles recipe.

This fresh, summer salad uses crunchy raw courgettes, fennel and kohlrabi, paired with citrus and spices. The fennel seeds accentuate the fennel bulb’s natural flavour, while the caraway is a good match for the brassica flavour of the kohlrabi. If you don’t have all the spices just use those which you do.

See full courgette, fennel and kohlrabi salad recipe.

These simple fritters make a good vegetarian main course but you could also serve smaller ones as starters or canapés for a summer party (they can be made in advance and gently warmed through in a low oven). Kids generally love them, particularly the dinky-sized ones.

See full broad bean fritters recipe.

At its simplest, a traditional Italian panzanella is a way of turning stale bread into salad by mixing it with tomatoes, vinegar and oil. We’re aping stale bread by drying it in the oven for a while. The tomatoes and oil soak into the bread and revive it. Any extra ingredients are open for debate; try mini cucumbers, broad beans, peppers and whatever else takes your fancy.

WiFi Pilot Post on

As you can see from the graphic on the left, I have a new blog post available on the CWNP homepage,

If you are unfamiliar with the CWNP program, they are a vendor-neutral certification body for wireless networking and security.

My most recent blog post at CWNP talks about a new product offering from CACE Technologies and MetaGeek, called “WiFi Pilot”.  The WiFi Pilot WLAN Analysis kit contains a WiSpy Spectrum Analyzer, an AirPcap wireless packet capture device, and the WiFi Pilot analysis software.

Check out the review on CWNP for an extended discussion of product functionality, pricing, etc.

One other thing that I mention in the post is the Sharkfest Conference for Wireshark Users and Developers.  The conference is being held Jun 15th – 18th.  I am attending the conference and *super* excited about it – feel free to email me at douglashaider <at> hotmail <com> if you are attending. I would love to meet up and chat!

Even when using the latest battery technologies in an EV, your battery pack is probably going to need replacing at some point (although Altair nano's latest battery technology is reported to retain 85% capacity after 15,000 cycles, thats a lot of driving!). When your pack is at the end of it's days, recycling is the way to go. Here are some of your current options for battery recycling.

Staking Issues

Common staking issues

NOTE: If the Discord info-bot gave you a time between stakes, please remember that this is only an estimate based on info available at that exact moment and can fluctuate wildly depending on changing network difficulty and a certain degree of luck, both good and bad.

QT, GUI and CLI Wallets

Sometimes when using the staking function in the UI Wallet, the switch may indicate that staking is turned off. This is a visual display bug/glitch. You can learn how to verify whether or not staking is enabled below.

Outdated wallet version Check the NIX website or github repository to make sure you are running the latest version of the wallet.

Wallet is not properly sync'd Compare your wallets block height with a blockchain explorer. If your wallet shows something different, re-sync your wallet.

Wallet is locked You must unlock your wallet and provide your encryption passphrase to enable staking.

Wallet is not running Your wallet must remain open and running to find new blocks. If you'd rather not keep it open, consider using an LPoS Merchant.

Attempting to stake from an address that begins with G Only addresses beginning with N or nix1 are eligible for staking. Further, only nix1 addresses are eligible for Governance Voting.

Attempting to stake from a wallet that also hosts a Ghostnode Staking is disabled on wallets that are actively being used as a Ghostnode.

Verify Staking is Enabled

You can verify whether or not the wallet is actually staking by navigating to the console and running the command "getstakinginfo" (or nix-cli getstakinginfo for CLI wallets). If the output shows the following two lines as shown, your wallet is staking.

"enabled": 1, "staking": 1,

If for whatever reason these don't fix your issue, join the Discord server and ask in the public channels only for help. Do not respond to any DMs as scammers might try to trick you into giving them your funds!

Team Fortress Wiki:Policies

From Team Fortress Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

This page documents accepted policies and guidelines in use on the Team Fortress Wiki.

Terms of Use

Main article: Team Fortress Wiki:Terms of Use

Unreleased content

"Unreleased content" here refers to content for which there is some expectation of pending Valve release, but has not been patched into the game and has not been made public in Community servers; examples being content Valve claims to be developing or content mentioned in an ongoing Update ARG. For Community Mod policy, see Mod notability.

  • Generally, images or articles relating to expected but unreleased weapons, items, or other game content are not permitted until they are officially released. This is because until that point, what the content is, does, or looks like cannot be confirmed.
  • The main purpose of this is to reduce unverified speculation or other ridiculous conjecture appearing as 'fact' on article pages.
  • You are, however, free to start creating the article in your user space and have it moved back into the article space upon official release. Note: main space categories are generally not permitted on articles in user space.

Images and media

For image licensing policy, see Team Fortress Wiki:Licensing images.
For guidelines on image quality, see Team Fortress Wiki:Images.
For placing images in articles, see Help:Images.

Languages and localization

See Help:Language translation for help and specific guidelines related to article translation.

The content on Team Fortress Wiki is multilingual, and every effort should be made to ensure that readers of other languages can access the same content in their own native language.

  • Articles should have multiple language translations. Content related to the organisation of the project (i.e. pages in the Team Fortress Wiki and Help namespaces) should normally not be translated.
  • Many articles are kept translated via translation switching templates. This allows consistent formatting across pages, and ensures that localized text and template code are kept in one single template.

Community websites

The community website pages on this wiki have always been prone to abuse, and as time went on, concerns of bias and the usage of the wiki as a vehicle for product advertising became more pronounced. A lack of guidelines acceptable to all parties has also always been an issue, so as of 2014-05-12 the wiki is enacting a concrete policy of no site pages whatsoever in favor of more helpful and informative basic guides that document the features more generally. This should solve the concerns of advertising and bias, as well as giving a more concrete starting point for newcomers. The new guides are: Basic Market guide, Basic trading guide, and Basic inventory guide.

Mod notability

Because the Team Fortress Wiki is treated as a reliable source of information by players, all new page additions are reviewed by staff to ensure that they meet minimum quality standards. In the case of community content, certain notability requirements also have to be met, in order to maintain this standard of quality. Before creating a new page for a community mod, please ensure that it meets these requirements, and be prepared to show them to staff should the need arise (either via IRC prior to creating the page, or on the talk page for the mod after it has been created). Beware that if a mod is not deemed as notable, it may be summarily removed.

  • Running on multiple servers: The mod in question must be shown to be in use on multiple servers, run by different entities (meaning that if there are a half-dozen servers being run by one group or person, it doesn't count). These servers also have to show a reasonable amount of player activity, and not simply be empty all the time. If a mod truly is notable in the community, then players will request that server admins run the mod and/or plugin, and it will see reasonable activity in those servers.
  • Discussion among the community: Discussion of the mod must extend beyond the thread announcing its creation and development. It must be shown that the mod is actively discussed by multiple users over multiple communities, in order to illustrate its popularity among players.
  • Exposure via YouTube: A very good marker of popularity is if a prominent YouTuber uploads a video of gameplay of the mod, or a popular Twitch streamer plays it (with or without fans/subscribers is acceptable). Simply showcasing the mod over the course of a few videos and a few personalities is proof enough of trending popularity, it does not have to be multiple videos over a consistent time period.

For basic help with wiki editing, see Help:Editing
For tips on style, see Help:Style guide
For a complete list of help pages, see Help:Contents

User content

  • Images
    Some images are permitted to be uploaded for personal use on user pages. However, users who abuse the right to upload decorative images may have them removed.
    User images should follow these rules:
    • They should have the user's name in the file name (e.g. File:User MyName Steam avatar.png)
    • They should be placed in the category User images (place the code [[Category:User images]] into the upload box)
    • User images should not be used in articles, or share categories with article images.
  • Signatures
    Custom signatures are allowed. However, we would prefer that more attention is paid to improving articles rather than your own signature. As with user images, misuse of signatures may result in you losing the right to have one.
  • Pages
    User pages should not be placed in any article category.

Elevated privileges

See Help:Group rights.

See also: Wikipedia:Protection policy

Generally most pages are not protected to encourage new edits and additions to content. However, some pages and articles are deliberately locked against editing, mostly for the following reasons:

  • If an edit war breaks out and involved parties refuse to stop;
  • If the page is high-risk: this can include templates like {{lang}} that are transcluded heavily, or pages that are heavily trafficked like Main Page.
    If a template needs protection and translation switching, consider making use of the Dictionary to allow translators to update strings.

  • Users are only blocked from editing if they prove to be consistently disruptive to the wiki. Vandalism, ignoring your talk page, or spam are all good ways to get blocked.

5 Ways to Harness the Power of Gratitude

Sue Curr Motivational Speaker & Empowerment Coach

Gratitude Can Be Severely Underrated

The practice of gratitude as a tool for happiness has for many been popular for years and is becoming widely accepted by increasing numbers of people who have witnessed firsthand the beneficial changes the act of being grateful has brought into their lives. Indeed, long-term studies support gratitude’s effectiveness, suggesting that a positive, appreciative attitude contributes to greater success in work, greater health, peak performance in sports and business, a higher sense of well-being, and even a faster rate of recovery from surgery.

But while we may acknowledge gratitude’s many benefits, it still can be difficult to sustain. So many of us are programmed to notice what is broken, undone or lacking in our lives. In order for gratitude to meet its full healing potential it needs to become more than just a word we pay lip service to. We have to learn a new way of looking at things and begin to think differently in order to create the shift needed in our mindset to facilitate the long-lasting and sustainable change it takes to establish it not only as a new habit but a way of life and that can take time.

That’s why actively practicing gratitude makes so much sense. When we practice giving thanks for all we have, instead of complaining about what we lack, we give ourselves the chance to see all of life, everything; the good, the bad & the indifferent as both the opportunities & blessings that they truly are.

However, it’s important to remember that gratitude isn’t a blindly optimistic approach in which the bad things in life are whitewashed or ignored. It’s more a matter of where we put our focus and attention. Pain and injustice exist in this world without a shadow of a doubt but when we learn to focus on the gifts of life, we gain an often previously unfelt sense of well-being because gratitude in and of itself helps to restore balance and gives us hope.

Sue Curr Motivational Speaker Coach Author

What’s on your list?

For me true wealth lies in life’s intangibles and on a daily basis if we choose to see them there are many things to be grateful for: the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, colorful autumn leaves, legs that work, friends who listen and really hear, waves crashing on the shoreline, chocolate, fresh eggs, warm jackets, tomatoes, the ability to read, the unbridled laughter of children, our health, butterflies………………

 5 Ways to Start You On the Road to Practicing Gratitude

  • Keep a gratitude journal and establish a routine where you spend just 5 minutes of every single day (for me bedtime is the ideal time) and write down as many things you can for which you are grateful AND why. It doesn’t matter what or why. It doesn’t have to be anything other than something – anything – which has/does cause you to feel grateful in some way…there are no limits & trust me when I say that in ‘giving voice’ to your gratitude in this way you will very quickly come to realize just how much you truly have to be grateful for
  • Make a gratitude collage; paste, copy, stick, draw again it doesn’t matter how you do it, just that you give it a try. How amazing would it be whenever you feel sad, upset or miserable say to be able to glance at a visual reminder of all that you have to be grateful for. Think about it you glance over & in one spot you instantly see images of your kids, better half, a sunrise, next/last year’s holiday destination maybe even a picture of yourself before & after a life altering experience (losing 100lb in weight for example) ANYTHING for which you’re grateful. How would that make you feel, how powerful would that be in lifting your mood?
  • Practice gratitude ACTIVELY at every opportunity. When we make a conscious effort to be thankful by showing others that we appreciate them on a daily basis the world around us responds in kind. The most obvious example of this would simply be the act of showing your appreciation by actually saying thank you be that verbally, by text, a nice card or even sending a small gift as a token for something that others have done and not even necessarily for you.
  • Instigate a gratitude challenge. When you or those around you start complaining about something challenge yourself or them to find the hidden positive, blessing if you will no matter the situation. It’s not always easy but it is possible, remember it’s a simple law of physics that for every negative there is an equal and opposite reaction. Given time and practice you’ll be amazed at how better you start to feel.
  • Take time and be mindful of how being grateful impacts positively on your life. Notice how your attitude and that of those around you change for the better. Concentrate on living fully in the present and notice how deeply grateful you are becoming for even the most mundane of things which have previously gone unnoticed and then celebrate the new improved reality which will begin to unfold around you.

When we make a conscious choice, because like everything it is a choice, to make practicing gratitude a way of living an inner shift begins to occur and you may be delighted to discover how content, realigned, more focused & fulfilled you begin to feel and which has the most profound of effects in every area of our lives be that home, personal, relationships & careers and that sense of fulfillment my friends is:

Be True To Yourself

Be True To Yourself POST

”I think of life as a wonderful play that I’ve written for myself & so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.”

Shirley MacLaine

Whatever you do? Don’t ever apologize for being you!

It has taken me most of my adult life to even consider that no matter what the opinions of others are with regards to me (on any level) in actual  fact are absolutely…

None of my business!

Now I can hear people saying ”what? of course it is!” BUT…

How dare you settle for less

In all honesty I can truthfully say and with conviction that it really isn’t.

Of course  whilst it’s always nice when someone takes time out of their day to compliment you in some way be it; how nice you look, congratulating you on a job well done or praising you in public and indeed will often do wonders for your self-esteem, it’s crucial to stay well grounded and realize that more than likely there will be another who would be all too willing to proffer a negative counterbalancing opinion.

For instance during a particularly difficult period some months ago I was struggling on many levels; stress, insomnia & health issues all serving to ensure that for a time I wasn’t ”at the top of my particular game.” One day I was due to meet friends for lunch and spurred on by my innate need for punctuality was as usual first to arrive. The first of my two friends followed me in & after the usual hugs & perfunctory comments about the weather et al she looked me straight in the eye and said ” my God you look awful, how long is it since you’ve been to sleep” a brief conversation ensued as to why, how long etc. When the second friend arrived just minutes later she immediately proclaimed ”wow, you look so much better than last time I saw you.” I laughingly pointed out that our mutual friend had just commented to the opposite effect.

My point here is simply that, among friends, on the same occasion and just minutes apart, even people we know & love can & do form instant opinions about us based purely on having interpreted what they saw. Now obviously this example is very safe in that both opinions although differing came from a place of love and as such didn’t serve in any way to make me feel threatened, undermined or worse still unworthy.

However if we take the basic lesson learned here –  being  that thoughts form a view or judgement about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Then it becomes easy (at least it did for me) to de-personalize how, what, why someone, indeed anyone could or would want, to even think let alone speak or write about me in any manner even if it were complimentary (but that’s a whole new conversation about self-esteem!) because lets face it to put it in its simplest terms anything said about you is either a fact or untrue!

If someone states as fact – ”You are Italian” – there is absolutely nothing to be done except to agree. However if someone were to form say an exaggerated (hyperbole) opinion  ” You are a fat, lazy Italian because you eat too much pasta” –  which may or may not be either true and/or taken literally then you are faced with the age-old dilemma of choice. Do you become outraged, feel insulted, embarrassed or even moved to tears as you recoil from the rhetoric? Or do you choose to acknowledge that as ill-informed & potentially hurtful as it was, it was no more than the view of another and as such can have as much or as little impact on you as you allow it to.

For me the really, really liberating experience of knowing that I can control and thus either limit the negative impact or allow the positive impact to enhance my life was the pivotal moment when I truly understood that:

I am in charge of my thoughts, my emotions & my reactions especially when it comes to taking on board that I may or may not measure up to the expectations which others have of me. In short I can choose how, if at all to react. If I am indeed ” a fat, lazy Italian who eats too much pasta” (sincere apologies for the sweeping generalization used here) then I have  decisions to make.

Whatever the circumstances you have to ask yourself

‘What difference to my life and to me as a person would it make if ………..

………and would I be happy with that? You fill in the blanks to fit your own circumstances.

The thing to consider and in my experience the only thing which really matters is that when making these decisions you should always, always strive to be yourself. It may well be that like me, you have along the way actually & often by default lost sight of ”who you really are.”

In my case I became a caricature of what I thought people wanted to see. I hid behind a very carefully constructed  barrier over which I projected an image that even I began to see as the real me. Before long anything & everything I did or said reinforced what I later came to call my ”fake self image” I didn’t know it then but I was in hiding, hiding from the ”reality” of how people would react, treat, question me if they were allowed to ”see the real me”.

In truth I came to learn that Dr Suess was indeed spot on with  the statement:

”Those who matter don’t mind whereas those who mind don’t matter.”

It was a time of enormous enlightenment for me and the lessons I learned along the way will stay with me for ever. I now know that by living in denial of who we really are we are not only doing ourselves a great disservice but we also at times severely underestimate those closest to us.

So as you strive to be true to yourself  please consider the following;

Never try to hide who you really are for you are enough.

Do what makes you happy

You, your past & your present in fact everything that has ever happened to you will shape your future and there were reasons for all of it. When you learn from what has gone before there can be no mistakes and therefore regret is a waste of time.

Always stand up for what you believe in because you have a right to be heard.

By all means listen to the opinions of others but unless they can prove otherwise they are always just that. The only way you will ever engender the respect of others is by showing them that above all else you respect yourself.

Most importantly, be who you want to be.

Do your thing, never apologize for being you & remember;

Because TRULY the opinions of others REALLY are NONE of YOUR business!!!

Choice, Life Is A Choice

Choice, Life Is POST

”It is our choices… that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities”  J.K.Rowling

The singular thing we all have in common. However having said that there are only actually two things which for sure will happen to us all.

We will be born. We will die.

Stark but nevertheless completely true.

Equally true is the fact that many of us do actually treat the experience that is life as a final destination. We all too easily lose sight of the fact that it is actually a journey. Each day, for each of us is completely unique and thus our journey in turn becomes as individual as we are and in all honesty most of us never even consider that it is our choices along the way which make it so.

The amazing thing is that we all of us do have the power of choice.

It is after all the most basic of our rights as humans. We can all of us, if we so choose be compliant and ”allow” life to happen to us OR we can become proactive and choose to be the architect of our own journey and subsequently our destiny.

So my friends I would urge that you give some thought to the gift which is your life and the like of which you will not receive again. As you go through your day tomorrow pay attention…..be mindful if you will.… as to the number of choices you will actually get to make during it’s course. In addition to the those you would make automatically……what to eat, what to wear, where to go…….concentrate on each moment as it occurs and realise that everything in life is a choice;

Positivity. Negativity. Gratitude. Happiness…all of it

Those choices in turn have the power to alter your life for the better or worse. Any given point on your journey through life is in direct correlation to your words, actions & attitude and it is you alone who are responsible for it.

There are those amongst us who will say ”Oh no it’s not  my fault… ???… did this, said that and so on which would all be very true HOWEVER the key here is that the other person is the one who has to take responsibility for their actions whilst it is YOU alone who must take responsibility for your REACTION to the situation/ feeling they created. You have the power to allow or disallow how anything impacts upon you. You can CHOOSE and it is this choice alone which will dictate whether you are compliant in or an architect of your life, your FUTURE!

So having urged you to be mindful as you go about your day tomorrow you should consider the possibility that you have inadvertently become compliant in ”allowing” your life to just happen to you. If you should come to realise that you have in fact been ”happily” accepting your lot then it may come as somewhat of a surprise to find that you have always had the option of CHOICE.

It would be unrealistic to assume that choosing a positive option will either be simple or easy

Indeed at times it will be very far removed from these two particular emotions. The difficulty comes with the slow realisation that (in many instances) we have been accepting the unacceptable as being the only option open to us without ever having truly considered any alternative just because ..”that’s the way it’s always been”….! When you think about it would you buy meat from the same butcher every week regardless of the fact that it had ”gone off” just because your family had always shopped there? Of course you wouldn’t because you would be able to see, smell & taste the badness.

However when it comes to something as intangible as ”happiness” our recognition and/ or acceptance of it is based on the largely intangible, meaning that whilst we can witness someones happiness by seeing them smile, we cannot touch it, taste it or smell it. By default therefore we become more inclined to be accepting of something which cannot be physically evidenced as being otherwise and as such it enables us to trust that things are as they should be.

After all how often do we say things such as; ” it was just a gut feeling” about something?

So having decided (which in itself is a choice) then that everything in life is a choice, let’s take the a fore mentioned emotion of happiness. People have often said to me things like ”you’re either happy or unhappy, that’s all there is to it” I would for a long time have agreed with them UNTIL that is I had my own what I like to call ”light bulb moment” and realised that I like you can choose happiness.

It took me quite a while to get into the habit of choice and for me it became easier when I realised that the opinions and or actions of others for instance, could only hold sway over my emotions if I ALLOWED them to. The bottom line is that we all of us have responsibility for what we allow in our lives. For me I have actively chosen not to allow or embrace negativity from any source. If we try and remember that the negativity we encounter on a daily basis particularly from another person is THEIR negativity and as such has no place in or power over our lives we soon come to realise that it’s just a small step to choosing between a smile or a frown!

In CHOOSING HAPPINESS I now also understand that (to quote the song) –

”You’re never fully dressed without a smile!”  and it feels AWESOME!!!

Happiness you will come to understand is not only a choice but a way of life and it’s contagious so………..what are you waiting for???

Fall of the Spirits of Darkness

Rudolf Steiner Archive & e.Lib Document

Sketch of Rudolf Steiner lecturing at the East-West Conference in Vienna.

The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness

Above all else, the spirits of darkness wanted to prevent spiritual experiences, living experience of the spirit, from coming down into human souls, which was bound to come about gradually after their fall in 1879. ... Spirituality will come to human beings because Michael won his victory in 1879. ... On the other hand, the spirits of darkness are now here among us.”

(from Lecture 13)

Since 1879 and into the following centuries, human minds will be influenced by backward angels — the spirits of darkness — who were forced out of "the heavens" and made their abode on earth following their defeat after a 40-year battle with the hosts of the Archangel Michael. Human beings must realize the truth of these things, not only to counter such influences within themselves, but to realize that spiritual causes lie behind major earthly happenings. From this realization, true human development can proceed, leading to the creation of social orders, schools, etc, based on real insight.

At the end of 1917, after four years of war in Europe, Rudolf Steiner spoke out in these 14 lectures on the spiritual impulses behind the Great War, behind humanity's attempts to build theoretically perfect social orders, and behind the many divisions and disruptions that would continue to occur on earth. Humanity in general was asleep to the fact that fallen spirits, cast out of the spiritual worlds, were now intensely active on earth, particularly in people's thinking and in the way they perceived the world around them. But the defeat had also ensured that a science of the spirit would always be available to humanity.
