Another turning point in the mission would come after Seyn accidentally revealed that she could speak more languages than she had claimed. The Dreamer's accused her of being an Imperial spy, and Staven threw a vibroblade to Iden, telling her to interrogate her. Seyn then lunged at Iden and impaled herself on the blade, killing herself to keep the mission secret. Another big break for Inferno Squad was the entire Dreamers leaving the hideout. Iden went into the Mentor's bedroom and found his journal on a datapad. After slicing it, she read for a few hours and was shocked by the information she had digested. Later that night, the Mentor and Staven got into an argument about someone going through the Mentor's space. Staven then asked Gideon to kill the Mentor, as he was finally too tired by him. Iden followed the Mentor to the perch behind the amphitheater. Even though he had no way of seeing her without night goggles, the Mentor called out to her. He confessed about his info leak, and Iden thought about killing him and running, but sat and listened. He told her his whole story about joining the Dreamers. When he was done, she shot him and took the chip. She ran back to the main section of the hideout and discovered the bodies of all the Dreamers. Iden was outraged at Hask for disobeying her. Then, the large amount of mysterious statues in the caverns came to the hideout, coming to dispose of the dead.[1]
This led them to believe Protectorate Gleb was holding Del prisoner on Vardos, where the Corvus headed next. After landing on the planet, they discovered the scars left behind from Operation: Cinder thirty years ago, as they were walking through the ruins Shriv and Iden spotted a bright red flash out in the distance. Making their way to the place where Del was supposedly being held, the two found Gleb dead on the floor, who was executed by Hask for failing to keep Project: Resurrection confidential, stating she had "Outlived her usefulness and purpose to the First Order." He also taunted Iden stating he had waited for the day he could get revenge on her for her and Del defecting 30 years prior, revealing that he had killed Del and then would kill Zay next, stating the Republic's time was over and the First Order would rise up, with Iden realizing the flash of light she had seen earlier was the destruction of the New Republic thanks to Starkiller Base. To her horror, the Corvus was fired on and shot down by Hask's flagship, the Retribution. With confidence in his plans, Hask ordered Iden and Shriv to be interrogated and then executed, as well as the city burned.[3]
Background: Delayed subaponeurotic fluid collection (DSFC) is a self-limited disorder of unknown etiology characterized by a benign, fluid-filled mass in the subaponeurotic layer of an infant's scalp. While a few case series describe DSFC, the experiences of families whose infants develop this condition have not previously been reported.Methods: We used a disease-specific blog to evaluate the experiences of 69 families affected by DSFC. We identified self-reported clinical features of DSFC and qualitatively analyzed the families' experiences with obtaining a diagnosis and care for their infants.Results: Infants presented in several clinical settings, and multiple diagnostic procedures were administered, including ultrasound (46%), computed tomography (30%), and head radiography (22%). Qualitative themes emerged: lack of provider awareness of DSFC, concern about potentially harmful diagnostic procedures, suspicion of child abuse, and the importance of the website in providing support to families.Conclusions: Though DSFC can be diagnosed clinically and its natural history is benign, its presence can be emotionally draining for parents. Physicians should be aware of this clinical entity to rapidly allay parental distress and avoid unnecessary procedures. Disease-specific blogs can help providers learn about rare diseases, contain useful clinical information for research, and can benefit patient care by providing social support for families.
Kreiden took over the library in 2015 at a critical time. Under its former director Jennifer Baker, the library had drawn national recognition as one of the best small libraries in the country, but Baker was fired after clashing with then-City Manager Jennifer Phillips.
Enter Kreiden, a soft-spoken, introverted librarian straight out of central casting who restored a sense of calm. She took over as acting library director and became permanent head after impressing Phillips with her leadership.
Kreiden graduated to the front desk and then to technical services: mending damaged books, processing new ones, putting them into circulation, and answering the occasional reference question. Meanwhile she earned her English degree at Sonoma State University and then a Master of Library and Information Science degree via an early experiment in distance learning at San Jose State University.
Within feminist cyborg theories and science fiction the cyborg can represent a shift in social and political ideas signifying the move from universal dualistic concepts to fluid and multiple notions of subjectivity. As many theorists have pointed out, our technologically saturated experiences can often be read in terms of science fiction reality where the schism between fiction and reality is blurred. Science fiction often adumbrates the social and political implications of anxieties surrounding technology and closely examines and challenges concepts of what it is to be human. Kage Baker's 'Company Series', a collection of narratives that centre upon immortal cyborgs, can be examined through the lens of feminist cyborg and SF theory. This paper will examine the first novel in this series, In The Garden of Iden (1997) and discuss how it may contribute to the emergent discourse of 'cyborg' identity and engage with current theoretical perspectives of subjectivity. The paper will focus on the novel's protagonist, Mendoza, an immortal cyborg woman placed in sixteenth century England to breed and collect rare botanic specimens to take back to the future. Baker's narrative highlights feminist concerns of spatial and temporal displacement, alienation, and systems of representation concerned with gender and cyborgs. Importantly, this paper will extrapolate, from an analysis of Mendoza, the interrogations of cultural/textual production that the figure of the cyborg promotes (or perhaps) facilitates in resistant and oppositional paradigms.
