Draft Of Darkness ((BETTER))
Aaron Rodgers may or may not play football in 2023, but we know one thing for sure: he's no longer living in darkness. After spending several days and nights on an isolated retreat, the Packers quarterback emerged from his mountainside dwelling on Wednesday, according to ESPN. Rodgers previously told "The Pat McAfee Show" that he'd scheduled the retreat for meditative purposes, and hoped to make a decision about his immediate NFL future shortly afterward.
Draft of Darkness
Rodgers' darkness retreat came courtesy of Sky Cave Retreats, per ESPN. He resided in a small mountainside cottage nestled in the woods of Ashland, Oregon. The company's website reveals that the "sky cave" contains a toilet, sink and hot bath, as well as a bed and meditation area. Guests are able to turn on light at any point during their stay, but are otherwise left "totally undisturbed in the darkness." Meals are delivered twice daily, while a wood stove is stoked in the winter.
As for Rodgers' NFL plans, it's still unclear what lies ahead for the former MVP. There have been conflicting reports about the Packers' preferences, with some suggesting Green Bay is ready to turn the page to former first-round draft pick Jordan Love, and others more recently reporting that the Packers would like Rodgers back under center in 2023.
Winslow could have easily been referring to his own emotional journey. He is 26 and on the Portland Trail Blazers, his fourth team in eight NBA seasons, and he is still growing, still taking giant, little steps. For him, they are steps toward happiness and fulfillment. And most important, steps away from the darkness.
Before he became a key cog on the Trail Blazers, and before he was an oft-injured player who bounced between Miami, Memphis and the Clippers, Winslow was a cautionary tale that so often unfolds in the NBA: a teenager highly drafted, given millions of dollars and heaps of attention, only to struggle with how to cope with it all.
Miami drafted him right after Charlotte took Frank Kaminsky and before Indiana selected Myles Turner because the Heat were enamored with his varied skill set as a 6-foot-6 forward. During his only season at Duke, Winslow averaged 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists while starting all 39 games, a do-it-all contributor on the 2015 NCAA title team that also featured Jahlil Okafor, Quinn Cook and Tyus Jones.
So, he made that home in darkness. He was depressed about his injury, anxious about his future and confused about his past. The drinking and clubbing could numb the pain, but the same problems remained when he awoke.
In Makt Myrkranna, there is a Sherlock Holmes-like detective named Inspector Barrington who investigates the murders committed by Dracula who does not appear in Dracula.[20] In Makt Myrkranna, Dracula comes to England not alone, but rather with a deaf-dumb woman who is apparently his slave and together with another beautiful aristocratic female vampire, Josephine, who flaunts her sexuality.[20] Josephine is described as having her "neck and upper chest revealed" while wearing a "necklace of glittering diamonds", whom Harker finds "something indecent" about, despite his evident attraction to her.[20] Most notably, Dracula lives not in an estate in the Essex countryside, but rather in a decaying old mansion in London's East End.[24] The British scholar Clive Bloom noted that when Stoker first started writing the novel that became Dracula, he envisioned Dracula's English residence as a mansion in the East End that had seen better days, and only changed Dracula's English home to a genteel mansion in the countryside in the final draft of Dracula that was written in early 1897.[25] Bloom has argued that the fact Dracula in Makt Myrkranna lives in a decayed London mansion entirely consistent with Stoker's original vision strongly suggests that Makt Myrkranna is based upon an early draft of the novel.[25]
Stoker's biographer, David J. Skal, has likewise argued that Ásmundsson based his translation upon an abandoned early draft of Dracula, noting that Stoker's notes while he was writing Dracula showed that he envisioned Inspector Barrington as one of the book's heroes, only to eliminate him later on as he assigned his role in the plot to Dr. Abraham Van Helsing.[26] Since Inspector Barrington is not a character in Dracula, Ásmundsson could have not have known of him, which proves he was indeed using an early draft of Dracula as his source, which he obtained either directly or indirectly via the Mörkrets makter serialization.[26] Stoker's notes showed that he envisioned Dracula as a having a mute-deaf female housekeeper slave, who did not make the final cut into Dracula, but who appears as a character in Makt Myrkranna, which is further evidence that Makt Myrkranna's source material was an early draft.[26] Likewise, Stoker's notes show that he wanted Dracula to be always the last guest to arrive at a dinner party, a personality trait he displays in Makt Myrkranna, but not in Dracula, which is further confirmation of the "first draft theory".[26]
Dark patterns are addressed by the Colorado, Connecticut, and California privacy laws; part of the current and draft regulations implementing the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CCPA); and draft regulations implementing the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA). In the context of privacy statutes, the use of dark patterns is generally prohibited when presenting consumers with opt-out rights (e.g., opt out of sale, use of sensitive data, sharing for targeted advertising) or when obtaining required consents. Dark patterns also negate any otherwise required consent obtained through the use of dark patterns.
