WHITE HOUSE FREELANCE WRITERS' PROGRAM




I am pleased to announce a brand new White House program.

We are looking for skilled writers to join the White House team as freelancers. If you are good with the quill then this might be exactly the program for you.

So here are the rules

- Topics

Anything you enjoy writing about, that you think is worthy of being published in the WHPR - military or political analysis, stories, comedy, etc.

Anything, BUT:

articles, that contain offensive/discriminating content or party propaganda. And yes, nudes will not be allowed.

- Application

You need to send a link to your google doc based paper to Feynmann. The text must be formatted with the proper bbcode, ready to be published in eRep.

If whatever you wrote passes the White House media team evaluation it will be published in the WHPR.

You will be given full credit for your column.


- REWARD

You will receive 1000 cc for every one of your articles that were published in the WHPR.


So what are you waiting for - load your fridge with beer and junk food and start writing.








FAREWELL "CASSINI"




Just a few days ago one of the most successful space missions - the Cassini - Huygens mission, met its end with the Cassini spacecraft plunging into the gassy depths of Saturn.

The Cassini spacecraft has had quite a life over the past two decades.

It has sailed past the dusty rings of Saturn, skimmed the massive hexagonal storm at the planet's North Pole, checked out the icy dunes of Titan and tasted the potentially life-filled geysers of Enceladus.

In order to keep that potential life from contamination, NASA decided to destroy the spacecraft by plunging it into the planet Saturn.

Cassini's heavy nuclear heart now resides deep into the core Saturn, but the vast amounts of magnificent data it has collected over the years will continue to amaze us.

So here are some of those amazing images.

The Huygens probe's view of the surface of the Saturn's moon Titan





The equatorial ridge of Saturn's moon Iapetus





Enceladus, one of the icy moons of Saturn





Saturn and it's rings





Earth, as seen from Saturn,



We will end this segment with a famous quote from Dylan Thomas, which the White House media team dedicates to the Cassini spacecraft, the scientist, who created and guided it and all those who were amazed by its discoveries.


"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."





A GUIDE TO WORRYING



So you're worried about a thing?

Are you?

Might be a bill you can't pay, might be a job interview, might be your career falling apart? Whatever.

But the best thing you can do in this situation is just to think about it as much as possible. Don't do anything about it - just make sure you keep on worrying, because that always makes problems go away.

Look at all those people.




Whatever you are worrying, about, must be a million times worse than anything they can imagine.

They've definitely never had to face a personal crisis. I'm sure they've never felt lonely, been sued, lost family members, spouses, children, they've probably never been fired or been in love with someone, who didn't love them back or panicked about their career or anything most humans go through in a lifetime, because whatever you are worried about is definitely the biggest thing that's ever happened to anyone - ever.

No one has ever been to war, so they don't understand what you are going through. They haven't approached "Omaha" beach and knew they were probably gonna be dead in a few minutes. No one has ever been trapped in a damaged spacecraft thousands of miles from the Earth, running out of oxygen. No one has ever had to face constant bombing from the air, that turned up without warning.

Somehow, whatever it is recently you've got on your mind, that justifies you losing sleep and being a total d**k to yourself.

Well you know best. Luckily humans live forever and never age. So no worries. You've got infinite time to hold yourself back with doubts and naturally it's worse than that.

If the bad thing does happen or you don't get the job or you embarrass yourself somehow we are all gonna be laughing at you - all 7 bln of us. We don't have our own lives or relationships or children or careers. We are just waiting to see you screw up. The entire planet is gonna turn up your house and write "LOL" on your door. That's what's gonna happen. And even after you are dead we are going to erect a shrine on your grave, that says:

"This person made a mistake"


And we will visit it every day with flowers, but not the nice ones, more like petrol station roses, that we found in a bin.

And don't even think about taking any creative risks.

That project you're working on - the book or the movie, the video or whatever - if you screw up any of it we are gonna laugh at you, because we are certainly not worrying about our own lives.

Homer, Beethoven, Tolstoy, Hitchcock, Tarantino - none of them ever worried about their careers. Just keep sabotaging yourself so you don't have to ever fear doing something original. That's the safe path. Same with doing what you love.

Actually no one has ever taken risk before.

You're the first one to do it - ever. And I'm sure the Universe cares if you screw up when you take a risk. It definitely isn't busy ... regulating the speed of light or keeping the galaxies from colliding. In fact the entirety of creation was just designed to watch you fail, personally. That's what we are all doing here. That's what gets us up in the morning - you, failing.

Maybe just spend the rest of your life fixated on worrying, instead of ever doing anything, ever again.

Instead of, say, becoming the best possible version of yourself and being kind to people and taking wild and bold risks, that scare you and will probably pay off some of the times.

And maybe leaving a lasting legacy for your great grandchildren, so they can say that one of their ancestors in the early 21th century was undeniably a bad m*********er and did something brilliant or was just a half-decent human being, who decided that the point of being alive was to party as much as possible, before the lights go off and just to be nice to other humans.

Probably just keep your head down. Don't rock the boat. Can't risk embarrassing yourself. But none of that really matters - does it?

Because you are worried about that thing. Aren't you?

Might be a bill you can't pay, might be a job interview, might be your career falling apart, whatever.

But the best thing you can do in this situation is just to think about it as much as possible. Don't do anything about it - just make sure you keep on worrying. Because no one has ever been in a bad situation before - ever. And I'm sure whatever it is, it's very important and won't ever go away. Just like all the other thing you used to worry about before.

And now you can't even remember ...
