![]() Anything an Adidas Samba can do, a Siesta can do better.Īfter a year with my beloved Siestas, I wanted to expand my repertoire. To me, they’re essentially interchangeable with sneakers. They’re the first thing I pack for any trip, and I know I can comfortably wear them on days when the pedometer hits 20,000 steps. I purchased my first pair last April in the classic putty shade (it’s technically called “bone”) and have worn them constantly ever since, channeling everything from a severe-yet-chic art collector when I wear them with a structured black dress to a casual Brooklyn errand mom when I pair them with jeans, a breezy button-down, and a baseball cap. Each style comes in five widths - slim, narrow, medium, wide, and double wide - to ensure the breadth of one’s foot is fully accounted for. In all my years of thrifting, I would always briefly think What if? every time I came across a pair, but it wasn’t an impulse I took seriously until I was forced to cross the orthopedic delta.įounded in 1976, SAS Shoes specializes in footwear for people with foot issues like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and diabetes - basically, any medical condition my friend Melissa refers to as “ouchie footsie.” According to the company’s website, “approximately 80 different skilled pairs of hands are carefully constructing and inspecting each shoe to make sure the SAS shoes you choose are the best-made pair of footwear in your closet.” Their comfort is due to both their pleasantly bouncy shock-absorbent soles and their intensely cushioned insoles. Available in colors that range from beige to dark beige, as well as black and white, they’re the perfect shoes for a brisk indoor walk around your local mall or for playing a game of bridge. Less preppy than a Clarks Wallabee and more laid-back than a nursing shoe, Siestas bear an uncanny resemblance to a naked mole rat. ![]() The Siesta is, of course, the puffy, wrinkle-toed wedge most frequently found in nursing homes and thrift stores, freshly donated by relatives of the recently deceased. (I have also long harbored a fondness for grandma-adjacent clothing such as nightgowns and novelty cardigans, so admittedly, these were not too far out of my wheelhouse.) I figured if I was going to be forced into a category of shoes I had no interest in, I might as well lean into their clownish aspect by choosing the most aggressively orthopedic-looking shoes possible. Rather than wade through a sea of footwear clearly designed for the over-60 set in search of some halfway-sexy options, however, I decided to run entirely in the other direction, selecting what may be the most geriatric-looking shoe in recorded human history: the Siesta by SAS Shoes. a pinched nerve), caused by wearing shoes a half-size too small for the better part of a decade, prematurely consigned me to a life of supportive footwear, I jettisoned my beloved shoe collection and never looked back. I embraced the orthopedic life early, at the relatively tender, at least for this kind of thing, age of 32. ![]() Photo-Illustration: The Strategist Photos: They may look like mole rats, but I love my SAS shoes!

In pursuing his theory, Dr Peter examines several exceptions to the Peter Principle, but on his closer evaluation, they do not violate the principle. reaches 100, no useful work will be accomplished at all. The efficiency of a hierarchy is inversely proportional to its Maturity Quotient (M.Q.): Dr Laurence J Peter and Raymond Hull, The Peter Principle, Maturity Quotient Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence. ![]() ![]() Which brings to another important observation: Luckily it is almost impossible to find a system in which every employee has reached his level of incompetence. Dr Laurence J Peter and Raymond Hull, The Peter Principle, In time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out its duties. Seen this way, career simply is a journey towards incompetence, brilliantly explored by Peter’s Corollary: For example, a salesperson can be excellent at his selling skills and then get promoted to a Director Role where he might be required to have organisational skills (that he might lack). Simply, that job is different from the job in which the employee previously excelled, and thus requires different work skills, which the employee usually does not possess. The employee’s incompetence is not necessarily exposed as a result of the higher-ranking position being more difficult. Sooner or later, an employee is promoted to a position at which he will no longer be competent (his “ maximum level of incompetence“, also known as Peter’s Plateau), and there he remains, enjoying no further promotions. Indeed, when it is time to fill a vacancy higher up in the hierarchy, managers will choose to promote a person who is currently competent in their current job (no-one wants to promote a person who is already incompetent). The principle is based on the fact that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. He refers to this as a new science, hierarchiology, the study of hierarchies. This is the result of the observation of Dr Peter in the many years of experience within the education system (but not only). In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.

While the world confronts us with sadnesses and injustices that are more profound, complex, and unequally shared, Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted offers a refreshing and valuable escape into a despair that, though it may seem all-consuming, is small, familiar, and finite. Heartbreak, after all, can knock someone out flat, but even at our lowest point, some part of us understands that it is ultimately temporary. Passenger avoids existential despair and real, consequential tragedy, instead confining himself to smaller sorrows, keeping his misery accessible. Largely penned before last year’s lockdowns, Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted deals mostly with the familiar sort of everyday low-stakes despair that more or less everyone can sympathize with. Although it finds him in the same downtrodden state of mind, it opens with a grateful vision of spending a day enjoying the simple joys of walking through a city stirring back to life. The final track, “London in the Spring,” brings a bit of lightness at just the right time. Clocking in at just 35 minutes, though, the standard edition avoids dragging it out to the point where it might have begun to feel grating. The whole album has a maudlin tone that swings somewhere between disappointed and devastated, and largely confines itself to that range. Passenger - Photo: Zakary WaltersĪlthough Passenger expertly conveys the desperate sadness he was experiencing when he wrote these songs, its consistency begins to feel more like flatness. Proving he is more than willing to veer off into heavier, more somber material as well, he also gives us tracks like “Sandstorm,” another standout that uses tense arrangements and straining vocals to capture the inner turmoil of someone at their lowest emotional point. “Remember to Forget” is a standout, finding Passenger singing about his desire to forget some past wounds over jaunty electric and steel guitars. Tracks like opener “Sword from the Stone” and his guitar-and-piano ballad “Tip of My Tongue,” while not exactly upbeat, have a bright, hopeful quality to them. Heartbreak can of course come in many forms, from total despair to warm nostalgia for the relationship, and Passenger is keen to show us a wide range. ![]() ![]() The Passenger we hear in these songs is looking forward to healing and at times is hopeful for the future, but mostly he is still in the middle of working through disappointment and heartbreak. Passenger has been open about the fact he was newly single at the time these songs were written, and it shows in both his lyrics and the general tone of the album. His latest album, Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted (★★★☆☆), seems designed to take full advantage of the shared impulse to seek out sad music in which to drown our own sorrows. Michael David Rosenberg, better known by his stage name Passenger, understands this impulse well. By definition, nobody really likes to be miserable, but generations of artists who have cashed in on the feeling can tell you that there’s a real, if perverse, joy to be found in wallowing in heartbreak. ![]() And neither Switch whether phat or Lite is all that comfortable to hold.

After nearly killing Tryndamere, Aatrox saw a potential in him as a future host and granted him mysterious blood magic that allowed him to regenerate and revive himself. Aatrox laughed at the foolishness of the tribespeople and slaughtered most of them. Recent Events Reaving in the North Īt some point, Aatrox travelled to the Freljord and appeared in front of Tryndamere's tribe, who mistook him for their horned god the 8 Iron Boar. Aatrox was defeated by the new Pantheon and fled to regenerate his severed arm with hemomancy. Aatrox fought Atreus and nearly killed him until Atreus' own mortal will reignited Pantheon's constellation back into the sky, empowering his spear as he severed Aatrox's sword arm with a mighty leap. Aatrox laughed at the mortal man, mocking him for being foolish enough to face him without the powers of Pantheon. He left the Aspect's host Atreus to die to his wounds and continued his search for oblivion elsewhere, slaying barbarians around the mountains and rampaging through Targon.Ī now healed Atreus returned and stood between Aatrox and an army of attacking barbarians, wielding the now fallen Aspect's dulled spear and shield. Aatrox managed to defeat the Aspect in combat, stabbing him through the chest with such force that it ripped the constellation of War out of the sky. On his quest to achieve oblivion and enact vengeance against the Targonian Aspects that trapped him, Aatrox sought to reach the summit of Mount Targon and faced off against 5 Pantheon. Aatrox continued to wreak havoc across Runeterra, taking over hosts and killing all that he sees to reach his ultimate goal and thoroughly end his own existence. By destroying all existence in a terrible cataclysm, Aatrox would be able to end even his own life and finally know peace.

Aatrox quickly took over this human's body and reformed it as close to his original Ascended form as possible, but in doing so killed the initial wielder. ![]() Aatrox's consciousness was trapped in his sword as he experienced a torturous existence, constantly reaching out to escape his prison.Įventually, an unknown mortal man fled a battle and, out of desperation to defend himself, tried to wield Aatrox's sword.

Xolaani was infamous among the Darkin due to her desire to end the war by controlling the other Darkin with her blood magic. He had a particular rivalry with a Darkin named Xolaani, who had a special talent in hemomancy. Their battle brought so much devastation that the mortals eventually began to call these Sunborn Darkin, an old Shuriman word which most closely translated to 'The Fallen.'ĭuring the Great Darkin War, Aatrox reveled in slaughtering the other Darkin and mortals that crossed him, completely going against his once noble ideals. Answering the call with no hesitation, he helped drive back the Void from the region when the Icathians tried weaponizing it, an event that lead to the loss of his wings and ultimately scarred his mind.Īatrox standing among his fellow Darkin, Varus and RhaastĪfter the Shuriman Empire fell due to the sudden death of emperor Azir, the Ascended renamed themselves as Sunborn and clashed with each other due to the lack of leadership and purpose. When Icathia rebelled against the emperor, the Ascended hero Setaka requested that Aatrox aid her in fighting them back alongside the rest of the Ascended Host.

The battle map solves this, allowing the players to see themselves, visible enemies, and measure the distance in between themselves whilst waiting for their turn to come up. Battle maps – (or battlemaps) theatre of the mind (TotM) games can be very fun and exciting, but it can also lead to a lot of confusion and time-wasting, as the players need to ask repeatedly for clarifications.If you play a more sandbox type of game, then this map can take on a more functional role as it will likely be divided into hexes, your greater exploration charted by which hex you wish to explore next. Sometimes this is just used for illustrative or reference purposes so your players can better grasp the world they vicariously live in and therefore plot their travels accordingly. Region maps – this kind covers a larger area, from whole villages to entire kingdoms or continents, showing you the terrain, roads, and main points of interest. |
