![]() Since kindergarten, he had self-selected to be among the girls – socially, athletically, academically. His peers, his teachers, his family all understood that Adrian was female, despite his birth designation. Adrian used the pronouns he and him, so I will call him that, but I suspect Adrian might have had more freedom and more options as to how he self-identified in school were he growing up today. I think about my former student Adrian (a pseudonym), back in the 90s in San Francisco. I write characters to honor my students, and to make up for what I wished I could have done for them in the classroom. During those years, I taught all kinds of kids. I was a teacher for many years, in public and private school, California and Texas. But the reason I wrote Alex Fierro, or Nico di Angelo, or any of my characters, is much more personal. You can’t go too far wrong if you use empathy as your lens. Where I can’t draw on personal experience, I listen, I read a lot – in particular I want to credit Beyond Magenta and Gender Outlaws for helping me understand more about the perspective of my character Alex Fierro – and I trust that much of the human experience is universal. Yes, in the abstract, I feel an obligation to write the world as I see it: beautiful because of its variations. Yes, I think the principles are important. Silence is not so great when you are using it to ignore or exclude.īut that’s all macro, ‘big picture’ stuff. People all over the political spectrum often ask me, “Why can’t you just stay silent on these issues? Just don’t include LGBTQ material and everybody will be happy.” This assumes that silence is the natural neutral position. I will do whatever I can to understand and accurately include you in my stories, in my world. Your life experience may not be like mine, but it is no less valid and no less real. It’s important that I, as a mainstream author, say, “I see you. They actively lobby to see characters like themselves in my books. ![]() I know this because my non-heteronormative readers tell me so. ![]() You didn’t do a terrible job!” I thought: Yes! Not doing a terrible job was my goal!Īs important as it is to offer authentic voices and empower authors and role models from within LGBTQ community, it’s is also important that LGBTQ kids see themselves reflected and valued in the larger world of mass media, including my books. As one of my genderqueer readers told me recently, “Hey, thanks for Alex. I can only accept the Stonewall Award in the sense that I accept a call to action – firstly, to do more myself to read and promote books by LGBTQ authors.īut also, it’s a call to do better in my own writing. The Stonewall committee’s work is a critical part of that effort. I think, to support young LGBTQ readers, the most important thing publishing can do is to publish and promote more stories by LGBTQ authors, authentic experiences by authentic voices. These are all fair and valid questions, which I have been asking myself a lot. So, what is an old cis straight white male doing up here? Where did I get the nerve to write Alex Fierro, a transgender, gender fluid child of Loki in The Hammer of Thor, and why should I get cookies for that? As I told the Stonewall Award Committee, this is an honor both humbling and unexpected. If you would like to read my acceptance speech, it is below: Magnus Chase 2: The Hammer of Thor, won the children’s book award for “exceptional merit relating to the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender experience” because of the character of Alex Fierro. I had such a great time meeting young folks, librarians and other award-winning and honor-winning authors! I was honored to attend the Stonewall Award ceremony today at the American Library Association meeting in Chicago.

![]() One is called Stone which is round and gray, and will always knock out the Snoods adjacent to where it lands. The other three special Snood pieces may be launched, and appear at random (and infrequently). If the player loses the game, all the Snoods will turn into Numbskulls, serving as a visual game over message. If Numbskulls are found at the start of a level, they will have to be isolated and dropped by the player to remove them from the board. Numbskull is shaped like a human skull and is the one type of Snood that is never launched into play, which means it cannot be joined with other Snoods except Wildcard. The first special Snood is called Numbskull. Releasing Snoods reduces the "Danger Meter". If the Snoods drop past the lowest level of the playing field, the game is over. With each Snood launched, a Danger Meter increases and when it reaches the top, all the Snoods in play lower a level. The player's score increases with the number of Snoods eliminated. If the Snood lands adjacent to two or more Snoods of the same color, all connecting Snoods of that color vanish and any pieces left unattached beneath the vanished Snoods drop down. The regular Snoods are Jake (Blue), Midoribe (Green), Mildred (Grey), Spike (Purple), Zod (Red), Geji (Light blue), and Sunny (Yellow).Įach turn, the player launches a Snood of randomly selected color into the playfield. There are seven regular Snoods and four Special Snoods.

Dobson founded Snood, LLC to sell the game.Īs in Puzzle Bobble, connecting three or more identical Snoods makes them disappear from the board. An adaptation for Game Boy Advance was developed by Rebellion Developments and released by Destination Software in 2001, and an iOS version was developed by Iron Galaxy and released by EA Mobile on May 8, 2009. Snood was released for Mac OS in 1996 as shareware, then for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows in 1999. While this version of Snood still offers nice features like the ability to pause gameplay and change the screen background with a one-key click, the pixelated appearance can become distracting.Snood is a puzzle video game programmed by Dave Dobson. It doesn't actually impact gameplay very severely, however. The entire right-hand portion of the game screen is pixelated, making the scoreboard difficult to read. The problem is that Snood seems not to have been adapted very well, at least for Windows 7. You can even keep track of your top scores on the main game screen. Snood's free version also has plenty of puzzles and difficulty levels to keep players occupied. The graphics are simple and so are the rules, and that's what made Snood so popular in the first place. ![]() In many ways, it's great to see a game like Snood still out there and thriving. ![]() The proceeds of the recycled material offsets the facilities capital and operating costs.Ĥ.

Adding PST file to current Outlook profileįor Outlook backups, most users export their mailbox to a PST file. After that, merge PST using the advanced version of the utility to avoid duplicates. This way, you'll get all the existing emails in a new PST file. Solution: Once you have reconfigured Outlook, start it with a new clear PST file before reconnecting the old PST and setting it as the default delivery location.

Solution: Check the instruction manual of your antivirus software on how to disable email protection when integrating it with Outlook. As a result, you receive the same messages during the next Send/Receive cycle. Some antiviruses may also fail when processing corrupted emails. If the virus scanner is not configured properly, it does not close the connection to the mail server and the email message is not flagged as received. If Microsoft Outlook and an antivirus program are installed on the same computer, Outlook may interact with the virus scanner as an intermediary between the mail client and the server in sending and receiving the mail. Set the Schedule an automatic send/receive every value to something over 15 minutes.Widen the Inbox update frequency by defining Send/Receive Groups: Solution: The obvious decision is to set the send/receive interval longer. Outlook doubles emails because it does not have time to complete the processing of one request to download / receive data through the mail server, as the next one is already starting. When the time between sending and receiving data is short (a few minutes), this can also cause the problem of duplicate emails. ![]() If you still prefer to keep using aliases, uncheck "Receive mail items" in the alias account settings to avoid receiving and sending duplicate emails.
