"TO SAY OF WHAT IS THAT IT IS NOT, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true."

—Aristotle (384-322 BCE.)

CORRESPONDENCE THEORY: states that it could only be determined whether or not something is true by whether or not it relates and/or corresponds to the truths (per se) of the world. (Hanna and Harrison, 2004)

In Roman Mythology, Veritas is the mother of Virtus, the Roman personification of virtue. Hence, it can be inferred that the Romans believed that virtue comes from the truth.

Am I a virtuous person?

You could believe that.

BELIEF: is the most common truth-bearer (Plato, 380 BCE). What one believes to be true is still yet to be proven true once it corresponds to facts, logic, and overall, maybe common sense.

Id est, you could believe that I am a virtuous person.

Coronado Chronicles was in dire need of an adviser. Competitions, as Lance has stated last Monday, are all over the city. Without an adviser, Coronado Chronicles will not be able to compete as that was what the competitions had mandated.

Meanwhile, the four of us "Seven-Minute Semblance" boys had the initiative to help them acquire one.

Reasons:

1. Futhark views ourselves as an ally and friend of said organisation, in return to the kindness the said organisation has shown and given us.

2. Another professor (adviser) in the Newsroom will give Lance the notion that the Newsroom is another professor's "turf", thus by social convention, Lance will be forced to provide a room exclusive for our use.

3. I was absolutely sleep-deprived when I made this decision and now I regret it.

CORONADO CHRONICLES ADVISER LEAD: is a disaster. After three possible adviser Edward Dace's come up with, we've reached a what supposed to be an impasse yet turned into a revisit of a somewhat-cold-case.

REALITY.

372A High Street. Futhark and Edward stared at Edward Dace's laptop monitor, obviously taking time to process the ridiculous news article Zweihänder has posted July 25 last year. It was about the "theft" of Education Department's college fund.

From what I could recall, I didn't read the article because:

- It was boring.
- I had no interests in matters that do not concern me.
- The details were so poorly laid out, I didn't even make it to the second paragraph of the article.
