Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

A Man with two regal identities. His skills have been priced at $20.00 - an unprecedented high amount. This gentleman is fluent in French, English, and Spanish. He also prepares, cooks, and serves food. He escapes in a silk surtout, fur cap, and brogans: an outfit fit for a king. Brogans are commonly worn by Civil War soldiers. How did it feel .... slipping on shoes built for combat? How did you feel ..... when you neutralized this struggle?
