A formal research paper concerning the topics of Science, Technology, Architecture, Religion, Politics, Arts, and Philosophy, for a given city in a certain time-period. For each of the STARPAP categories, the research question "How are beliefs made visible?" must be answered. One page is written on each topic, with a thesis statement and examples regarding the research question, along with other details about the topic. In addition to the seven STARPAP categories, a introduction and conclusion must be written. The introduction provides some historical background and explains what the research paper will include. The conclusion ties different categories to each other, like "Science relates to Philosophy because...". In addition to the research paper, 28 sources listed in bibliographic form must be completed.
STARPAP guidelines dictate that the most important thing to remember is that Research is NOT a Straight Line (section 5.6.1a in the STARPAP handbook). Also, the guidelines say that the best brain food for sustaining focus and brainpower while working on the STARPAP are bananas (section 8.2.4d in the STARPAP handbook).

Staraptor 

Staraptor is a Pokemon that has appeared since the 4th Generation, and is known as the 'Predator' Pokemon, according to its PokeDex entry. It is a ruthless bird that is a force to be reckoned with. It is known to attack viciously even if it is severely injured.

Staraptor is a powerful and speedy physical attacker that learns a bunch of moves that will definitely leave a huge visible mark on any Pokemon that does not resist them. Staraptor also comes with two great abilities: Intimidate - Which halves the opponents Attack if sent in. And Reckless - Which boosts Recoil moves.

Staraptor seems to share a resemblance with former Lostprophets singer, Ian Watkins.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
