Enchanted Fairy tales
acob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786–1859) were brothers, very close to the point that, when one of the two had a family, the other went to live with him. The numerous disappointments then led them to close themselves in their own fantasy world, a bit like what happened to Tolkien in the last part of his life. Born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, they were linguists and philologists, founding fathers of Germanistics, authors of a very important dictionary that was completed posthumously only in the sixties. Jakob is also famous in glottology for the famous law that takes its name from him: the first consonant rotation (Erste Lautverschiebung).

Locke, Inherent Value, and Labor
John Locke starts his Chapter on Property with a conversation about God. On the very first page of the chapter making a massive assumption. Not that god is real or that there are many or one. A much more simple and widespread assumption that nature is a gift to man-kind. It is affirmed immediately and is the start of all understanding of property and the world. The idea of nature as a gift is something which need not be paid back. Yet, gifting is a rather human conception is it not. Locke's starting common assumption beckoning some questions: Is this planet or nature even capable of gifting? And further how does the idea of something being a gift move it from having societal value to having inherent value? In order to explore the above questions the paper will follow a format which builds on our own assumptions. First defining the concepts of inherent value and societal value before tying them in with the ideas of gifting and transactions. Then flowing into a discussion on how this might affect humanities outlook on nature, by extension women's bodies, and then ultimately each-other. The idea of a gift is extremely powerful, it is by and large seen as a positive expression but, when used ideologically in a certain fashion it can be used to take things for granted, and justify the exploitation of a relationship that may not have the attributes of a gift but, are more easily explained away through the logic of gifting as to not have to pay the bill.

Englishly
As a native American English speaker, I believe I have noticed a slow but accelerating decline of the English adverb. (I cannot say whether similar results are occurring in British English.) Authors are advised exclusively to use ‘strong verbs’ and to rely less on adverbial adjustment. Younger generations ever-increasingly accustom themselves to social media shorthand and slang. Many people fall into perpetually repeating the familiar, misspoken phrasings that they grew up hearing and that everyone around them uses, despite being educated otherwise. Prominent among all is the rampant misuse of adjectives occurs where adverbs are needed.

Well, I Guess They Need a New Theme Song Now
I wanted to wait a while before posting another article, but current events just made this impractical. Before we continue, I am a native of New Orleans, LA. And let me say my viewpoint on my hometown is...“complex”. Love the people, love the food, hate the Saints (you heard me, right; I can’t stand the Saints). There’s a special diversity and charm in New Orleans (please don’t call it ‘N’awlins’; I’ll slap you). And it’s a great place to visit. But then we get into the (infrastructure) challenges of being a resident of New Orleans (and trust; there are many). Today, however, I’m only here to speak to one issue in New Orleans: education.
