A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed by a local television station. The day they were coming to our house, I woke up at 2:48 in the morning, convinced I was going to have an anxiety attack. Part of the interview was to talk about Down syndrome.
It isn't like the subject hadn't come up. But how would it help him to know at this age? Can a child -- any child -- understand what that means? Honestly, I find most adults, including educators and other professionals, know next to nothing about Down syndrome.

The other thing -- how would I do it? I can't adequately explain how Curious George is entrusted to navigate ships into New York harbor or why the tediously boring Caillou seems popular. How could I explain Down syndrome?
But, now I had to. What if some kid's parent from school saw me on TV? What if they talked about him having Down syndrome? Then, what if that kid said to our kid at school the next day, "So you have Down syndrome, huh?"
"OK," said my husband in a resigned, tired husband way. At this point, I know he does not actually have any idea what I am talking about, but he has heard me in this we-must-do-something state before, so he then said what he always says -- "Settle down," -- followed by, "What time is it?"
I am not sure where the following came from. It may have had something to do with seeing his collection of Avenger action figures on the floor. Also, a couple days before we had all gone to Thor, The Dark World. In fact, our son had worn his Thor costume to the theater.
"See, Down syndrome gives you almond-shaped eyes and a terrifically adorable flat nose. And it gives you super powers. Some of your super powers are big love, photography and... um... um... farting. It also made you a little small, talking and being understood is hard for you right now and learning some things takes more work."
The physical characteristics and the cognitive challenges are not debatable. The fact our child is very loving and has an obsession with farting is likely more typical 7-year-old kid, particularly boy, stuff. However, his photography is a gift from somewhere. I am feeling my way here in a world that does not provide a manual for how you tell your kid they have Down syndrome.
For almost four years, I have written about our family's experiences, including Down syndrome. My contention has been our son is not that different from "typically" developing peers. My husband and I do not see Down syndrome as a defining characteristic, but one of many our son embodies.
Does that mean our son has a super power? Maybe. Maybe we all do. This is what I do know about his having Down syndrome: it cannot just be about what he cannot do. Down syndrome is not objectively bad. For our family, Down syndrome is something to be respected.
Toward the end of my hourlong chat with ELUCID, the crux of his excellent third solo LP I Told Bessie came to me after unsuccessfully reaching for its essence: It's a New York rap record from the future.
I Told Bessie is a titular ode to his beloved paternal grandmother who passed away in 2017, the matriarch who watched westerns on television, gave her grandson a foundation in the rich cultural history of Blackness, and listened to the origins of ELUCID from a different room in the Crown Heights brownstone they lived in together for a spell.
Moreover, the full-length outstretches past the Brooklyn neighborhood and along the train routes of the entire city. "Jamaica, Queens; Strong Island; JFK; Sonic Boom; all the places I've been," as ELUCID recites over the wobbly grace of the beat for opener "Spelling." Sections of New York enshrined by the scores of Black artists who have roamed those streets and witnessed the city in all its splendor.
"Bessie heard all my raps," said ELUCID about his time living with her. "She'd hear me screaming at two in the morning, two in the afternoon. She heard all those spells being cast, you know?" ELUCID speaks of those years being formative for him as an MC, "and Bessie's hearing the makings of ELUCID in 2022. She's hearing the formulations right there. She's smelling the weed brownies being baked. She's smelling the Chocolate Thai being burned; she's there for all of this."
I Told Bessie also serves as an ode to New York, with multiple allusions to city streets like Nostrand Avenue ("Where all the old players get their gators, and their Clarks, and their pastel suits") and Guy R. Brewer Boulevard, memorialized on the album's final track, where ELUCID recalls choking on a Starlight Mint outside of the church he attended as a child.
ELUCID represents a new generation of New York rappers alongside his Armand Hammer partner-in-rhyme, billy woods, who appears on four of the album's tracks and is releasing the full-length (as usual) on woods' Backwoodz Studioz label. When wrapping up our full album breakdown of I Told Bessie, which you can listen to above, we talked about the album being part of the lineage of hip-hop of New York, the birthplace of the genre.
Sadly, this kept causing Windows to not actually restart/shut down. Instead, it would show various messages such as "You are about to be logged out", "This system will restart in less than a minute" and various things like that.
As an alternative: for restart use shutdown /r /f /t 0. For shutdown use shutdown /s /f /t 0. The /t 0 flag will cause an immediate restart, /f forces all open application to close without waiting for a "proper" exit, so any unsaved data will be lost.
Note: This is a "shutdown procedure". It will case all processes to terminate more or less regularly in order to keep the data integrity including data that might be needed for a successful startup. If you don't care about that you can use David's suggestion. Or alternatively, just use a power cord with an off switch (that's what I do). Keep in mind: you might corrupt your data in a way so your machine won't start up again.
