Team it up with a contrast blouse to enhance the appeal of this gorgeous handloom saree. The Classic colors make this a happy choice for your special occasions. Color - Blue Fabric - Katan Silk Technique - Kadhwa with Meenakari Weaving Cluster - Banaras Measurement - Length -0.00 m, Width - 0.00 m, Blouse - 0 m approx., Weight - 000 g Katan is a thread, prepared by twisting a different number of silk filaments according to requirement. This gives a firm structure to the background fabric. Katan is a plain woven fabric with pure silk threads. It consists of two threads twisted together and is mostly used for the warp of light fabrics and sarees. Sometimes 0 filaments can be used to make the warp or weft to incorporate a texture or design. Katan silk is the fine, soft and delicately lustrous kind of silk that has made Banarasi renowned the world over. Katan silk fabrics are made using the finest quality of Mulberry Silk in both the warp and the weft, woven in a plain weave. A variation of Katan Silk fabric is Silk by Georgette (also called Katan Georgette or Summer Silk or Silk Georgette). This is a pure silk fabric and is obtained by using twisted silk yarns in the warp or the weft. The resultant silk fabric is thinner and lighter in weight than katan, making it suitable for wearing even in the hotter months of the year (hence, the name summer silk). The Weaving Technique Kadhwa stands for 'kadha hua' or 'embroidered'. In Kadhwa weaving, each motif is woven separately as opposed to other Banarasi techniques. Often two weavers weave a kadhwa saree. One weaver is engaged in weaving the cloth or the body of the saree and the second helps in carving out or embroidering each motif using a wooden spool or Tilli as it's called in Banaras. Using this technique, many different motifs of different sizes, colours and textures can be woven on the same sari, which is quite difficult to do otherwise. A kadhwa saree typically will take a minimum of 00-00 days to complete and go up to 0-0 months also depending on the intricacy of the design. The backside of a kadhwa saree is clean and has almost negligible or zero float or loose threads.

3,968,755 | With a pandemic ongoing, the year 0000 reshaped the lives of young people in the Netherlands. In secondary education, relatively more students were promoted and almost all final examination students graduated. Fewer young people were at work; fewer girls between the ages of 00 and 00 used alcohol on occasion, and there was less excessive drinking among young men. The number of young people receiving youth care declined; on the other hand, the number of reported child abuse cases went up. Furthermore, compared to the previous year, in 0000 a smaller share of young people reported they were happy and satisfied with life. These are some of the results Statistics Netherlands (CBS) describes in the Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor 0000, published today. Health and welfare | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Boys happier than girls on Bonaire and Saba Both on Bonaire and on Saba, boys between the ages of 00 and 00 are on average more likely to report being happy than girls. The main leisure activity of young people on Bonaire is gaming, while Saba's youth also likes to spend time outdoors with friends. On both islands, over one-quarter say they often feel bored; on Saba, it is mainly the girls who often feel bored. This is indicated by new figures from the 'Scholierenonderzoek Caribisch Nederland', a survey conducted among students in the Caribbean Netherlands at the end of 0000 as part of the National Youth Monitor. Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Annual Report Youth Monitor: key indicators 0000-0000 In 0000, more young people were receiving youth care than in 0000. On the other hand, there were relatively lower shares of young children in families living on income support, third-year secondary general students at VMBO, and young registered crime suspects. Youth labour participation was relatively higher while alcohol consumption remained unchanged in this period. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on figures regarding key indicators and the use of youth care, published today in the Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor 0000. Health and welfare | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Sharp decline in infant mortality since 0000 Last year, 000 out of the 000 thousand live-born babies died in their first year. As a result, the infant mortality rate stood at 0.0 per thousand live births, versus 0.0 in 0000. The infant mortality rate was nearly three times the average among mothers under the age of 00. Infant mortality in the Netherlands is in line with the European Union average. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on newly released figures. Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Almost 0 in 0 children live in single-parent households In 0000, 00 percent of all children in the Netherlands were living in a single-parent household. This share has continued to expand over the past two decades. Nine percent of all infants were living with only one parent. The highest shares are found in the cities of Heerlen and Rotterdam. Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Girls more likely to be harassed, stalked online 0.0 percent of 00 to 00-year-old internet users report that they were bullied, stalked or threatened online in 0000. Over 000 thousand young people were affected. Girls were almost twice as likely to be a victim as boys (0.0 versus 0.0 percent). Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this based on a survey on cybersecurity and cybercrime. Safety and justice | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Child poverty stable in 0000, less long-term poverty Last year, 000 thousand minors in the Netherlands were living in low-income families, remaining unchanged from the previous year. The number of minors in families living persistently on a low income for at least four years dropped by nearly 0 thousand, ending at 000 thousand. This is evident from the latest figures on at-risk-of-poverty rates, released by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication 00 percent of young people see pollution as a problem The majority of 00 to 00-year-olds believe that things are heading in the right direction in the Netherlands. They do not consider social issues such as crime, a multicultural society, population density and mentality in the Netherlands to be a major problem. Environmental pollution, on the other hand, is relatively often seen as a major problem. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of the 0000 Annual Report of the National Youth Monitor. Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication Annual Report Youth Monitor 0000 Summary The Annual Report Youth Monitor 0000 Summary presents an outline of the life situation of Dutch youth at both national and local level. At local level, a description of youth in the Caribbean Netherlands is included. Young people and families | 00-00-0000 | 00:00 Read publication 0 in 00 young people interested in politics Young people aged 00 to 00 years in the Netherlands say they have little interest in politics. Once they are entitled to vote when they turn 00, they do start to find politics more interesting. At the same time, young people place a great deal of faith in politicians, more so than the older generations. | https://jeugdmonitor-prod.cbs.nl/en/publications?f%5B0%5D=datum%3A2009&f%5B1%5D=datum%3A2014&f%5B2%5D=datum%3A2018&f%5B3%5D=datum%3A2019&f%5B4%5D=datum%3A2020&f%5B5%5D=datum%3A2021&f%5B6%5D=themes%3A8&f%5B7%5D=themes%3A9&f%5B8%5D=themes%3A12 | jeugdmonitor-prod.cbs.nl | 293.2 | 17 | [

3,978,755 | This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me. Left Align This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it's views. It's favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment. Center Align This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes. Right Align This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it's views. It's prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it's a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss. Justify Align This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it's place and not all cattywampus like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an elitist attitude.

3,988,755 | The damaged Bradley was pulled off the heavy trailer by the heavy winch. The destroyed track threw sparks and made very nasty sounds on the deck of the trailer - everyone present knew, it would have to be repaired as well. This time, the Bradley had been at the recieving end of several bursts of 00mm API grenades and the first order of business was to wash the insides of the holed IFV of the remains of its crew and passengers, who had perished. No-one looked forward to this gruesome task, but the alternative would be working in the middle of the mess - spatters of brains and blood, random bodyparts the medics had missed. And at times, the medics missed quite a bit. One of the mechanics had once felt a severed limb on his shoulder, which had led to quite a ruckus as he trashed around the tower of a damaged M0. "Okay, boys, let's get the lady cleaned up, lickety-spit", came the order in a bright female voice and broad Louisianan accent, "she ain't gonna do it herself." The speaker was Sergeant Jessie-Lou LeFort and she looked very much out of place in her green armor crewman's overalls. And she was, just as out of place as every other man at the depot or anyone in the whole 0th Infantry Division (Mechanized), U.S.Army. Had it been upto them, they would have been rebuilding their gravely wounded nation instead of fighting the last remains of a global war, far away from home against an enemy, who was just as tired as they were and did not understand to give up the fight any more than they did. Jessie-Lou was a Louisianan, born and bred. She had been born as a farmer's daughter in Saline, Louisiana, well known statewide for the annual Watermelon Festival. She had never originally meant to join the Army and even less to fight a war, though she respected those who did. However, before the war, as she had graduated from High School, she didn't want to go to College and ended up at the local Community College and became a mechanic. Local enterprises, however, were squeemish about hiring a female mechanic despite her good grades and she was left with little opportunity for employment, except the military. The Army had been far less discriminant and for once had placed someone at just the right place. She had been deemed capable enough as a mechanic and made Sergeant a couple years back. With the cannibalisation of all 'non-essential' rear-echelon troops of the Division in to combat troops, she was practically one of the very few NCOs in the Vehicle Repair Depot (Mobile), formed under the 000th Main Support Battalion. It would have been pretty much okay, if it wasn't for one thing. "LeFort", shouted through the window of the partially collapsed industrial warehouse the CO of the depot, 0st Lieutanant Monroe, had set up his 'office' in, cut down her train of thought. "Sir!", she yelled back, turning on her heels and for a moment thinking about saluting, just in case there would be an enemy sniper somewhere close. Nothing the Battalion HQ could throw at her could be worse than this particular excuse for an officer. She slid between the parked vehicles and equipment crates at her best speed and stopped right in front of the window, snapping to an attention. "LeFort, why is that M0 wreck still on my yard", the ratty 0st lieutanant asked in a voice that reminded her of a raccoon, except that it was far less adorable. "Sir, we're still waitin' a couple of parts for her from the Battalion. They say, they are on their way already." Yes, the Battalion had promised the parts for today, but it was already afternoon. Monroe looked at the ginger sergeant and it was pretty certain, he had not even listened to her at all. "Yes, yes. Keep me posted", he said and Jessie-Lou thanked heavens for being dismissed. If the lieutanant was not otherwise infuriating enough, everyone knew, he had attained the position through connections, his father having been a U.S. Senator prior to the war. A distant rumble made Jessie-Lou think. It was probably one of the Artillery Battalions having a pissing contest with their counterparts on the other side of the front lines. She tightened the ballistic vest on her, none the less, because things might just change at any given minute. She had become well versed in the uncertainties of war - it was not once nor twice, the whole depot had been mobilized and evacuated when some enemy units had broken through the already thinly spread front lines. While Jessie-Lou wasn't officially allowed to serve in the combat arms due to her gender, she had already been in many enough skirmishes during the last few years, she knew to keep her personal weapon close - a Remington pump-action. It was something, she had managed to trade the Battalion Supply for several items she had salvaged in the field, she didn't have use for. "Evans", she said to the private, who, after being wounded in the leg was no longer capable of front line service, "once you have hosed down that rear compartment, get a line at the Supply and ask them about those M0 parts we requested. The LT is at it again." It might not have been the most professional thing to say about the CO, but everyone at the depot, even the MPs providing security knew it was very much so. Evans simply nodded - the two knew each other well enough, no more was needed. Evans was one of the few men at the depot who could pass under the COs radar - mostly because the CO was both jealous and afraid of the hulking private. Jealous, because the private had more leadership qualities than he did and afraid, because the private could have ripped him into pieces and most probably no-one would have even considered stopping him. Another long rumble made Jessie-Lou nervous. When the artillery was very short on grenades, a long barrage could mean only one thing - an assault on either side. She ducked between two other Bradleys under repair when she heard a chorus of whistles in the air. Diving to the ground, she yelled "Incoming!", but her voice drowned in the roars of explosion, set off by 000mm rounds. Then again, yelling that was practically of no use with the experienced repairmen not being shelled the first time. It was hard to tell, how long the barrage lasted. When lying in the rain of explosive-filled steel containers, time loses its meaning. The barrage was over as suddenly as it had started and Jessie-Lou lifted her head from the muddy ground. The explosions had been replaced by a different rumble. The minute vibrations could be felt in the ground and this was, when Jessie-Lou felt anguish. Tanks. People were lying around the compound, some dead, some wounded, others just well shaken. Jessie-Lou knew. There was no other weapons against tanks in the compound except those on the partially repaired vehicles. She clambered on her feet, looked around and headed for the very same M0 tank the lieutanant had nagged about. "I betcha, you're happy now, this is in your yard", she muttered on the way.

Fox spotted napping on second-floor window sill in Notting Hill Rachel Johnson, sister of Boris, has a theory Adam Withnall Friday 00 August 0000 00:00 Comments Article bookmarked Find your bookmarks in your Independent Premium section, under my profile Don't show me this message again ✕ The fox was napping on a second-floor window in Notting Hill (Rachel Johnson) Urban foxes are notorious for being bold opportunists - but the residents of the Tory stronghold of Notting Hill in London were still surprised by the behaviour of this canine. The fox was spotted taking a nap on the second-floor window sill of a house in Elgin Crescent by none other than Rachel Johnson, the author and sister to the London Mayor, Boris Johnson. Clearly confident in its affluent surrounds, the animal was performing a convincing impression of a town cat who owns the place. While most foxes only emerge on the streets of the capital during the night, this one seemed comfortable he wouldn't be disturbed. Ms Johnson told the London Evening Standard that the fox caused quite a stir among local residents, whose numbers apparently include the American comedian Ruby Wax. Ms Johnson said she thought the fox might have got to the window sill via the scaffolding next-door (Picture by Rachel Johnson) She suggested it was lucky no one had tried to shoot the animal - which appears to have made its home in one of the only Conservative constituencies in the heart of the capital - as it was "rather a sitting duck". Ms Johnson said: "There are lots of them in the neighbourhood, always in the gardens - they seem to own the place. But when I saw this one it was hard to feel the same sense of rage."

Well, not at Greggs. According to the company's website, customers are able to buy white or malted sliced loaves which "are freshly baked every day". So when one customer went into his local Greggs in Burton-upon-Trent, he was surprised to be told they didn't stock them any more. According to the company, they will now focus on the food to go market, which means most of the bread that the company sells is in sandwiches AFP The weirdest and most shocking news stories Man trolls plane passengers by painting sign on his roof welcoming them to the wrong city One US homeowner has taken trolling to another level by painting a message on his roof top to deliberately trick aeroplane passengers into thinking they've boarded the wrong flight. Mark Gubin painted the sign ‘Welcome to Cleveland' on his home which is next to Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a city in Wisconsin, some four hundred miles away from Cleveland, in the state of Ohio, prompting passengers to fear they've accidentally boarded the wrong flight as they spy the trick lettering from the aeroplane window Google Maps The weirdest and most shocking news stories Missing cat found after spending 00 days trapped inside a mattress A family who thought they'd lost their cat as they prepared to move 0,000 miles across the US, were relieved when they found their pet inside a mattress some 00 days later. Moosie, a 0-year-old tabby cat, disappeared when Kymberly Chelf and her husband Jesse Chelf boxed up their belongings in preparation for their move from El Paso, Texas, to Anchorage, Alaska. In early June, the family's belongings arrived at their new home- along with a big part of their old life. When the Chelfs heard a meow coming from inside the box, Mrs Chelf said: "it just sounded like he [Moosie] was giving it everything he had just to let us know he was there." The cat had been trapped for over two months without light, food or water.

The item in question is a doll of Osama Bin Laden, designed to terrify the children of the Middle East so much that they would be permanently put off from joining Islamist groups. The doll is a fairly faithful recreation of the late terrorist leader, complete with white robes, combat boots, and a scraggly black beard. The propaganda value in the bizarre toy comes from the heat-sensitive paint used on the doll's face. When children played with the doll, the heat from their hands would activate the paint, and change Osama into a terrifying green-eyed, red-faced demon, with black markings all over his face Nate D.

The injury, which the Simmentall bull sustained at the beginning of the breeding season, was probably due to being "over-enthusiastic," according to his owner, Tommy Moyles. According to the Irish Mirror, Mr Moyles was then forced to bring another bull, which was previously destined for the slaughterhouse, out to provide his services Ian Forsyth/ Getty The weirdest and most shocking news stories Thieves steal four pints of bull semen from Minnesota farm A group of thieves have stolen about four pints of bull semen from a farm in southern Minnesota in the US - and could sell it on for an extraordinary amount of money.

Some words of comfort next time you overfry, overbake, overboil or otherwise burn your dinner to a crisp: charcoal, in all its dark and mysterious forms, is being embraced by some of the best in the food and drinks business. It's not just about cooking on a grill (although that's also a booming market), but charcoal as an actual ingredient - bringing flavour, colour, texture and a touch of playfulness to plates of food and bottles of juice. This news comes on the heels of Burger King Japan's Kuro Pearl offering, a burger with a jet-black bamboo charcoal bun, which met with a mix of hysteria and confusion upon its launch last year.

Speaking to Cult of Mac, Mark Vette, Rambo's trainer, said: "When we first tried to get her to take a photo, it only took three attempts for her to understand the process. That's faster than a dog."

Two of the animals, one black and one white, decided to dash through the centre of the city, doing their best to evade local residents trying to catch them. After a number of near things, the animals were captured by means of a lasso. The owner of the llamas told local media there had actually been three llamas that got spooked and ran away near the centre of the town.

Within minutes, Left Shark had its own Twitter account - which has since expanded to no fewer than six different accounts - but it was not the shark's killer moves and deadly accuracy on stage that gained so much attention, but rather the fact that it had no idea what it was doing. Perhaps even drunk, Left Shark was out of time with Right Shark, who was a picture of perfection as he moved with the beat and in time with Perry - who by this time was already onto her third costume change and bursting into a rendition of "Teenage Dream" Getty Images The weirdest and most shocking news stories Kim Kardashian breaks the internet Kim Kardashian West has recreated the iconic "champagne incident" image by Jean-Paul Goude for the December issue of Paper magazine.

4,028,755 | The folks over at Paul Labrecque had contacted me a while back to review some of their products. I didn't feel right trying any products that weren't vegan, but after a few emails back and forth confirming their curly hair care products were in fact vegan (they are) we were good to go. A few days later I received a package in the mail containing their curly shampoo, conditioner, styling cream gel and finishing spray (not pictured). I have to be honest. I totally put off trying these products out for a while. Main reason being I was really happy with the products I was currently using on my hair. Everything I use is normally vegan, organic and chemical free. So I was slightly terrified to put something else in my hair. Why would I? I liked my current stuff. Well long story short I'm really sorry I waited so long to try them out. Immediately after rinsing out the shampoo, I my hair felt softer. The conditioning cream is rich and thick, and really moisturized my parched locks. The cream gel was also a surprise, it gives fantastic hold with no "crunch" (if you're a curly girl I know you know what I mean). The finishing spray makes my locks shiny and not greasy, and keeps them frizz free. I've also found the spray has helped perk up my curls the following day, so I can now go a day or two between washes. The absolute nicest surprise has been that my curls have been 000% frizz free in the humid, NYC summer weather. I didn't think that was possible! Better yet, Paul Labrecque is giving Brooklyn Bliss readers an opportunity to win the same, four piece curly hair care kit I received valued at $00.00! To enter to win, you need to... Be located in the Continental United States Leave a comment below about how you currently fight frizz. Follow me on Twitter and leave your twitter handle in the comments, and you'll receive a bonus entry. It's that easy! The giveaway will be open until 00:00 pm on Friday, July 00th, after which a winner will be chosen randomly. Tags: Care, Curly, Giveaway, Hair, Paul Labreque, Product, Review Comments 00 Comments Categories Giveaway, Reviews, Vegan Living, Vegan Products Haircutaversary 00 Feb February 00th 0000 was a big day for me. It was the day I chopped of my hair and ended over a decade of chemical straightening and finally embraced my natural curls. I had straightened my hair from when I was 00 years old. It was the early 00's and perms and curly hair in general were passé. Hair products that were available resulted in crunchy, unflattering fros. After being teased a bit in elementary school, my mother allowed me to play hooky one day and took me into the city to have my curls chemically straightened. Afterwards upon returning to school I remember one of my classmates acknowledging it announcing "Corrie! No Fro!" The following 00 years most people who knew me thought my hair was naturally straight. It was my dirty little secret. As far as haircuts go, I generally had the same cut from high school through college: really long with face framing layers. I received tons of compliments so I never thought to change it. The haircut I had for basically 00 years. Over the years in my late 00′, something snapped. I was always pressed for time and I was just plain sick of blowing out my hair, which took almost 00 minutes. I made the scary decision to grow out my straightner and work with my natural hair texture after getting married. After finding a photo of a totally badass curly style I fell in love with and was sold. The hard part would be the grow out. My haircut inspiration image. All in all the grow out process took less time than I thought. Only around 00 months. I was so excited yet insanely nervous the day of my haircut. What if my curls are weird? What if this style doesn't look good on me? Am I making a mistake? My straight hair looks good why change it? I was smart in that when I decided to make this switch, I immediately started going to a curly hair specialist to help with the grow out as well as the final curly cut. I had sent her my inspiration photo in advance and the day of my big chop she was prepared. She reviewed with me as she chopped away how my new hair would have to be cut (while dry) and styled (mostly done while wet in the shower). To be honest, after it was cut and washes and I was sitting under the dryer I was petrified, my wet hair looked no different from the flat, crunchy 00's hair I remembered. When my hair was dry, she then told me to flip my head over, "scrunch out the crunch", fluff it up a bit and flip it back over. Under the dryer, patiently awaiting the results of the big chop. Holy. Freaking. Crap! My hair looked amazing! I looked like a totally different person! The results, taken by my husband immediately upon returning home. It took a little time to learn how to style it, but after I mastered it styling my hair was so much easier than my previous routine. Better yet, the compliments I received after were more bountiful than with my straight hair, but more meaningful being people noted this cut was more "me". After so many years of trying to blend in, I was finally my own, unique person. This newfound confidence totally changed my life. I totally revamped my wardrobe, started experimenting with my style (and blogging about it), plus I even went further in my career. I also over the course of the year changed the cut three or four times (mostly variations in my bangs), three or four times in one year as compared to never-changing it for 00 years! The changes were so profound, I had to commemorate it in this post. For all you girls with naturally textured hair currently hiding it to become what you think society wants you to look like, I urge you please stop! Your natural texture is the way you were intended to be, so don't fight it! You won't regret it I promise you. Do you currently straighten or alter your natural hair? Why do you do it and have you ever considered going natural?

4,038,755 | When children spread their newly-adult wings and leave the nest, you may experience strong, conflicting feelings as you feel a sudden new quiet in your home. While you're excited for your children as they craft their own lives, you'll find a shift in both your daily activities and your living space. While your home will always be their home, you can experience joy by renovating vacated spaces like bedrooms into something special as you transform your new life. What is Empty Nest Syndrome? Those varying emotions you feel as your last child moves out are collectively called Empty Nest Syndrome. This phenomenon is not uncommon, and for many, it can result in profound feelings of loss and sadness. It can seem like the sudden loss of a relationship or the abrupt end of a longtime job that you loved. Even though you've spent years helping your child (or children) gain skills in independent living, letting go physically and emotionally can take a toll on you. The transition from being an active, daily, caring parent to watching and worrying from afar can be difficult. You're also used to having that consistent companionship and now he or she is gone. Single parents, those who only have one child or a parent whose main focus was raising his or her child can feel significant emotional trauma. How Can Becoming an Empty Nester Impact You? Not everyone experiences Empty Nest Syndrome the same. Some parents are ready for the change, while others will mourn what once was. We all deal with life changes in different ways. Many parents need time to adjust to the change in daily life when the last child leaves the house. Daily routines and responsibilities you've maintained for years may suddenly vanish, leaving you feeling like you've forgotten to pick up a child from sports practice or you need to rush home from work because hungry kids are waiting. You may still wake up, wondering whether your sociable teen has come in before curfew. Or, you might breathe a sigh of relief that those college entrance applications no longer dominate your evenings. The empty-nest journey certainly is different for everyone. Some parents may find their relationships with others improve, while others may encounter marital issues or conflicts, an identity crisis, alcoholism, or depression. Having an empty nest may be the catalyst to get to know your spouse again, especially if you no longer have arguments about child-rearing decisions. You may also find more satisfaction in your job. While some feel sad or anxious with Empty Nest Syndrome, other parents are ready to celebrate and enjoy their (mostly) more carefree life, traveling and taking up new activities while feeling pride that they've raised an independent child. After 00 years of responsibility and attending to your beloved child's needs, it's your time to shine. No matter what your reaction to an empty house is, be kind to yourself and your significant other during this transition to a new normal and a new lifestyle. Take the leap from putting your child's needs first to taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Help for Coping Accepting that Empty Nest Syndrome may happen is a step toward finding ways to cope well. This is your adult child's journey, and he or she may be doing things on a different timetable than you did, so resist the urge to say "when I was your age, I..." Instead, look for ways to be supportive and help your child become independent. There's no reason you can't remain close with your children after they move out but don't over-parent. Most newly adult children still yearn for some contact and guidance, so don't cut your child loose and assume he or she will be fine. Make the effort to stay in his or her busy life with regular visits, phone calls, texts, or video chats. Tempting as it may be, though, try not to smother your adult children - they will be busy figuring this adult thing out, so give them some space. Look into local or online support groups where you can share your feelings with others going through the same thing. Plan outings with other new empty-nesters. Consult your doctor or a counselor if you're feeling depressed or anxious. Before your youngest gets ready to leave your home, use that time to start planning for the future, whether it's making changes professionally, starting a hobby, or increasing your social circle. This is a major life change for both parents and children, so try to stay positive and busy to help ease what may be some tough days or weeks after moving day. Good News for Empty Nesters There is good news for empty nesters. Think about all the extra time and energy you've uncovered. Now maybe the time for that hobby you've put off forever. Invest more time in relationships or pick up a new sport. Remember that college degree or rewarding job with a longer commute that you couldn't consider while you were your child's taxi service? They're within reach now. This can be a time of great joy as you dream of and make room for new endeavors. Sell or Renovate Your Empty Nest Home? Now that your house is quieter, it's time to take stock in how well your house fits you. Does it seem too big now, or are you enjoying the extra elbow room? Does your home's space still work for you? Do you want to renovate your existing home or relocate to a new one that is more appropriate for your next phase of life? Make a list of the positives and the negatives of both choices and take some time to decide. Pros and Cons If you choose to renovate, know it is an exciting process. On the plus side, you won't have to deal with the hassle and expense of moving your belongings unless it's from that room being remodeled. You can also decide which rooms to remodel, how much to budget, and what your ideal timeframe needs to be. Both budget and timeframe need to be flexible. Do you want to remodel small sections of your home while living in other rooms? Some empty nesters combine two small bedrooms into a spacious, dreamy master suite. Are you longing for a welcoming guest room, a library, or a craft room? Do you want a whole-house makeover? When pondering options, ask fellow empty-nester friends what renovation ideas they settled on. There are a few downsides to remodeling your home. You may not recoup all the costs of your remodeling project if you sell your home. However, if you're happy with the changes, why move? Most people can also confirm that a remodeling project can be messy, inconvenient, and stressful. However, other homeowners love the excitement of transforming spaces. If you can't imagine a remodeling project solving your housing needs, you may consider selling your current home and moving to one that immediately meets your needs. Does navigating a flight of stairs seem more unpleasant on your knees? Maybe a single-story dream home is in your future. Some empty nesters yearn to downsize, while others want to upsize to more square footage. Becoming an empty nester opens up all kinds of possibilities. When deciding whether to renovate or sell, don't forget to consider outdoor spaces. That big yard was perfect when you had kids burning off energy and practicing soccer skills. But do you need expansive green space anymore, or is it a drag to maintain? Can you re-make that space into a lower-maintenance patio area? Or, is a no-yard, gated duplex or condo more appealing? It would free up time so you can travel or enjoy evenings dining out, going to the movies, or napping. If you renovate, however, consider designing an entertainment-friendly yard space with a fire pit and outdoor seating or a relaxing oasis with hammocks under shade-giving landscaping. Innovate and Renovate If you're remaining in your home, it's time to update and craft your home's space to fit your own preferences since you no longer have to accommodate your children's needs. We've included some empty nest home renovation ideas as you get creative and ponder the possibilities of a transformed space. If your child is away at college and comes home for weekends, summers, or home-cooked meals, you may want to make small renovations for now while keeping enough of his or her room as-is so it still feels like home. Or, you can include a cozy guest room. However, if your last one has left for good, have fun planning the next use for that space. Do you want a look of sophistication or whimsy, exotic decor or cottage charm? Hobby Room The free time you have now as an empty nester may be the catalyst you need to go for the hobby you never seemed to have time for. Are you a budding painter, jewelry maker, or woodworker? Turn that now-vacant bedroom into a hobby room. Find your creative passion and nurture it. You can escape work or life stress, or take your mind off nagging empty-nest sadness. Make this space comforting, soothing, and organized, a place you can't wait to spend time in. Reading Nook or Library Take advantage of the new peace and quiet of an "empty" house by indulging in reading. You probably have 00 years of books waiting to be enjoyed. Consider turning unused space into a reading nook or library. Move-in (or have someone custom-craft) bookcases. Include a comfortable chair, a good light source, a table for holding an inviting cup of tea and an afternoon snack, and you're all set to lose yourself in a good story. Home Gym / Meditation Room For years, your focus has been on someone else - now, take time to care for yourself. Turn that space into a home gym or even a meditation room. Focusing on yourself with exercise, meditation or both can boost your energy levels, your immune system, and your overall health. It can also be a great activity to do with your spouse, significant other, friends, or visiting child. Make your home gym as grand or as intimate as you want. You can add a treadmill, free weights, an elliptical, and space for a low-impact yoga practice. A gym or yoga studio renovation can help jumpstart a new, active, and health-focused lifestyle. Enlarge Your Master Bedroom Tired of having a cramped master bedroom so the kids could have their space? Why not enlarge your bedroom, borrowing some space from a now-spare bedroom? You could design a larger, more luxurious, and relaxing master suite and perhaps add that adjoining bathroom you always wanted. Add a fresh coat of soothing paint, hang some new pictures, and refresh your bedding for an irresistible ambiance. Create Your Dream Closet You've seen those dream walk-in closets, right? Why not create your own? Once considered a luxury, in today's society a walk-in closet is almost a necessity and can add resale value to your home. Now's your chance to custom-design to your specific needs. Stretch out while you're dressing and select your wardrobe in spacious surroundings instead of reaching into a cramped closet or dresser drawers. Don't forget bright lighting, a full-length mirror, a table, and a chair for relaxing while putting on shoes and accessories. If you're tired of lugging the laundry downstairs and then back upstairs, consider adding a washer and dryer to your new closet. Couple's Lounge Why not turn that extra room into a media room or a couple's lounge? Collaborate on recording or listening to music with your honey, or catch up on chess. Position a couple of comfy recliners or a sectional over a plush rug, add mood lighting, and create a movie room or nightclub-themed couple's lounge where you stream movies, play games, or snuggle with your loved one while sharing a bucket of popcorn or glasses of wine. Enlarge a Room for Family Reunions Become the house everyone gathers at for holidays, birthdays, or family reunions. As an empty nester, you'll have more space available, and if you love get-togethers, restructure your home to host those loved ones. To handle all of the extra cooking, you may consider enlarging and upgrading your kitchen. Guest Room Remember all those times your friends or relatives had to book a hotel room because your bedrooms were all occupied? Turn a spare bedroom into a welcoming guest room. Take your mind off missing your child by shopping for the perfect touches, including decor, new wall color, and super-soft bedding, totally transforming your space. When your child comes home for a visit, this can double as a private space to stay. Create a Playroom for Your Grandkids Once your kids are on their own, it's possible you may hear the future pitter-patter of little feet in your home in the form of delightful grandchildren. Design empty space into a playroom and become the ultimate favorite grandparent. You can tailor the room to your grandchild's favorite movie or television show characters or favorite sport with decals or paintings on the wall. Empty Nest Checklist In addition to keeping busy with renovations, there are some things you can do to help transition into your new life, including working on a relationship with your partner, making sure your finances are updated, and getting to know yourself again. Check out this useful empty nest checklist. Revive your Relationship Once your last child is out of the house, you may be staring awkwardly at your partner. This is normal. After almost two decades of talking mostly about your children, and at times disagreeing on child-raising decisions, you'll need to invest in your relationship. Gone are conversations about the kids' latest boo-boos, homework assignments, and young love drama. Now, you may be facing each other from across the kitchen table, unsure of how to start a conversation that doesn't involve the kids. Take the time to revive your relationship, remembering why you two became one so long ago. Spark romance with a weekend away. Plan the trips that you put off while you raised children together. Get to know one another all over again. Whether you're a married or single empty-nester, this can be an exciting time as you shift toward making yourself happy instead of only focusing on enriching others' lives. Invest Time in You You've dedicated years to nurturing little bundles of joy into young adults ready to take on the world. You kept them clean, clothed, and fed. Now, it's time to invest in yourself. Find your non-parenting passions and feed those. Clothe yourself with a new wardrobe if it's in your budget and makes you feel renewed. Join a healthy cooking class and feed that culinary interest. Skydive if that's your thing. Write your book, Get to know yourself. Make Financial Plans Take stock of your finances now that your food bill, utilities, and other expenses will be shrinking. Are there projects you've been putting off? Are you set for retirement? Is your will up to date? Set up a meeting with your financial planner to run new figures since your budget and expenses have changed. Declutter and Organize Remember those decluttering and organizing dreams you had long ago? Resurrect them. You no longer have a messy teen in your house, and you're no longer sidetracked with helping with homework, cooking meals, and running your teen to weekend sports leagues or robotics tournaments. With new free time, unleash your inner organizing guru. Sort and donate what's still in good shape. Organize your space. Invest in shelving or drawer space so you have a place for everything and everything in its place. If you're someone who values tidy spaces, now's your chance to make that a reality. Write Your Next Chapter Your children may have moved out, but they're still in your life. They'll visit, even if they're just toting their dirty duds home and pleading for Mom's Laundry Service. In the future, they'll bring your grandchildren over. You'll cherish seeing your now-grown children walk through the door with their own ideas and opinions, ripe for in-depth, enjoyable discussions. Perhaps the most rewarding part of parenting is realizing that all those years of love, support, and guidance have created an independent adult capable of adjusting to life without you. You'll always be mom and dad in their eyes, but what they need from you has shifted. It's a success story, so enjoy watching your children branch out on their own. You'll still embrace all those memories, from first teeth to last home runs, first words to last book report. Now, it's time to plan and enjoy the next fulfilling chapter of your own life.

4,088,755 | Are you looking to buy a new house in the near future? If so, one of the choices you will face is constructing your own brand-new home or buying an existing home. The idea of building a new house on the right piece of land might sound enticing, but what if you could have a larger, more luxurious existing home in the same neighborhood for a much lower cost? As you might imagine, there are pros and cons to each kind of home. In today's blog post we will explore whether you should build a new home or buy an existing one. Building Your Ultimate Dream Home Let's get the obvious out of the way first. If you can afford the combined cost of the land, the house and all of the furnishings, then building a new home is an amazing experience. It is the chance to completely customize everything about your home, right down to having your family put their handprints in the foundation. You will be able to design the garage, media room, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and everything else exactly the way you want it. The house will truly feel "yours," as it's built in your vision. Aside from the higher cost, there are other potential downsides to building a new home. Between permits, booking contractors, wrapping up all of the necessary paperwork and construction time, building a new home can be stressful. It can also take much longer than buying an existing home outright. Well-Kept Existing Homes Have Lots Of Upside Buying an existing home has its upsides as well. It's almost certainly going to be a much faster process than trying to build your own home from scratch. As long as you can find suitable listings, you can typically purchase and move into an existing home within a few weeks. You can also customize it to your liking, although not to the extent that you would with brand-new construction. It's also likely to be less expensive, although that depends on a variety of factors including the city you're buying in, the real estate market, the size of the home and more. In the end, the choice comes down to budget, timing and personal preference. However, whether you decide to build new or you are okay with a lovely home that already exists, our professional mortgage team is here to help.

4,148,755 | Based on background information provided by Beritabali.com, Bali has a long-standing history of mysterious visits by Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Among the first sightings of a UFO in Bali occurred on 00 August 0000, when, at around 0:00 pm, a Japanese tourist, Ryo Terumoto, unintentionally captured a UFO in his camera frame while snapping a picture of Bali's Mount Agung. When Terumoto received the photograph after it was developed and printed, he noticed a large object flying against the background of the iconic Balinese volcano. 0000 Photograph of a UFO near Mount Agung by Ryo Terumoto The picture was subsequently published in the Japanese magazine Hito to Nippon in March 0000 under the headline "Flying Saucer Atop the Island of Bali." Another Bali-related UFO sighting was reported in 0000. That report also originated from two Japanese tourists, Masumi and Mami. On 00 August 0000, a flat object with four bright yellow lights was seen at 0:00 pm flying close to Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport. The UFO, which hovered for four minutes before a group of Japanese tourists and their Indonesian escort from Equator Divepro, Prayogo, suddenly disappeared. Unexplainably, the witnesses all reported that their cameras and video recorders, without exception, jammed and could not operate at the time of the sighting. Another UFO sighting occurred on 00 June 0000 when a family living at the Citra Pratama Housing Complex in Kerobokan, Kuta, reported two separate encounters with a UFO. Rini Wulandari, one of the eyewitnesses, told Beritabali.com in June 0000, "the object was visible two weeks ago and again last week." Among the eyewitnesses to the 0000 UFO sighting were the older sister of Wulandari, Diajeng Susilaningrum, and a household servant. Four family members also saw the second sighting. Later, on 00 December 0000, Putu Darmayuda, a resident of Tihingan Village, Banjarangkan, in Klungkung reported seeing a UFO that he claimed was as large as City Bus. Darmayuda, who worked as a gambelan gong maker, said the UFO appeared around 00:00 pm while he was walking home after purchasing fireworks for his children to celebrate the New Year. When he finally arrived at his home, he said the UFO remained visible. Darmayudi described the encounter to the press on 00 January 0000: "I saw (the UFO) for around 00 minutes. The UFO was flying at the height of a coconut tree standing to the east of my house. It had many lights colored white, blue, and green lamps adorning the edge of the object. There was a bright light shining down from underneath the object." Describing it as saucer-shaped and as large as a bus, he said the UFO had windows on its side, adding he did not see any beings inside the vessel via the windows. He also claimed the flying object was silent, making no noise of any kind. When he climbed to the second floor of his home for a closer look at the object, Darmayudha said the UFO quickly departed to the south, again without making any audible noise. | https://www.balidiscovery.com/ufos-and-flying-saucers-visiting-bali/ | www.balidiscovery.com | 324.9 | 0 | [] | null | [] |

Skip to content Search for: College Fashionista Get started in your future career today Fashion Beauty Lifestyle Career Apply Creators Loft Subscribe Search for: All In The Details, Fashion ALL IN THE DETAILS: Layer Up, Ladies Daniella Zoeller Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Pinterest With fall weather well upon us, it is officially time to transition into our new wardrobes. Covered in layers of coats, scarves and boots, it can seem daunting to still dress cute and stylish. We should all follow this Fashionista's lead and embrace the layers we need to bundle up in! It is these key details that will keep your fall fashion on-trend. She takes two fall staples, a flannel and a sweater, and layers them up effortlessly. Each piece in itself would be on-trend for fall, but by layering them together, there is an added element of style. Her pink, fuzzy sweater is the perfect length to show off the flannel she sports underneath. Layers like these will keep her warm here in the Windy City and keep her looking fashionable at the same time. This Fashionista pairs her fall layers with the perfect pair of distressed jeans and knee-length boots. Nothing says fall like some boots, am I right? Her outfit is topped off with some complementary jewelry: a studded, wrap watch and a cute, pink gemstone necklace. Her whole outfit works so well together and is completely on-trend for this season, but it is the layering of the flannel and sweater that make her outfit stand out. How To: Want to mix and match some fall staples? It is as easy as layering them up. Try wearing a cropped sweater over a chambray button-down for a classic look or layer a cropped long sleeve shirt over a longer tank top for a casual, trendy look.

I'm moving overseas to Belgium in the summer. My employer is US-based and will be paying me in USD. I'd like to open a Forex account to engage in some "fun" trading, but I'd also like to be able to convert USD to EUR for the purposes of depositing in my soon-to-exist Belgian bank account, and to beat the lagging conversion rates most banks have. Several expat sites have recommended Forex as a cheaper way to move $0000+ USD into EUR without ridiculous rates / fees. I expect to have several thousand USD rotating through the account on a monthly basis, but not tens of thousands. Can anyone recommend a fairly basic Forex account that: has low(er) minimums? low fees for transfers into EU-based bank accounts? is not too overwhelming for a non-professional trader? preferably has a demo account? submitted by trustmeep to Forex [link] [comments] Best backtesting platform? Quantconnect, quantopian, ProQuant, Tradingview, other? Hi, I would like to test some strategies but I don't know which platform to use. Which is the easiest to use, the most complete, that can easily be linked to an API from a good broker (IB, TradeZero...). I have a financial background so I'm fine with defining a strategy but I'm not that good with programing, I will learn Python which seems to be the best in algotrading. What do you think of platforms using their own proprietary language like TradingView with Pine Script or ProQuant with QuantScript, is it a waste of time learning/using theses languages? Let me know what you think. Thanks a lot. submitted by Arnoldo0000 to algotrading [link] [comments] Is there a API for forex and futures? I would like to reduce the Beta dependency for my investment.

Hi, I just turned 00 and I'm at the point where I'm ready to make money while I sleep. I am Currently on furlough and unemployment due to Covid-00 and it has shown me now more than ever I need to start investing. Here are my questions about Forex... 0. Do I HAVE to pay $000 and sign up for one of Those groups? I absolutely hate that idea and would much rather do Forex solo. How much money do I need to start out with for forex trading? How do I make my forex account and what is the best app to use?? I am completely new to forex and would only like to work with one person or just receive advice on how to do it solo. I have never invited before so many people I know are doing forex now and seem to be doing decent. I just want spending money for edibles, clothes and vacations and would rather have disposable income to use that for instead of work income which goes to bills first before anything. submitted by TheFunkyPharaoh to Forex [link] [comments] Need someone that uses IBKR to hold my hand. I'm apparently some kind of moron- I'm unable to figure out how to get set up with automated trading on interactive brokers. Currently I'm paper trading forex on OandA using some simple curl requests on a headless server. I'd like to start trading futures, and ibkr was the top recommendation. Goals: -When my own (already developed) system generates an entry or exit alert, execute a market order on a NASDAQ micro futures contact. -Do it on a headless Google cloud server From chatting with some folks, I've heard I need to use IB Gateway, and there may be a need to initially use GUI for authentication. That's fine, as long as GUI elements aren't needed later when it's running. I don't need any kind of data feed from IBKR, since I already have a system that generates alerts when I want it to. I just need the bare minimum to actually execute these market orders. I've signed up for IBKR and gotten my account approved and all that. Then I thought I'd go over to the education library and work through the TWS materials (just to get acquainted) and then go through the TWS programming Python course. At this point, the website wants me to register or login. I click the button that says I already have an ibkr account, it asks me to login, I do, then it takes me to the account page. Where is the course!?😵 After going through that loop every which way, I've given up on that for now and I'm here asking you for help. Anyone willing to give some guidance, either in this thread or through DM? I feel like what I want to do is extremely simple and I will be barely scratching the surface of what's available to me through IBKR. I just want to get started. Advice, resources, guides, and insults are all welcome! Thanks! submitted by rm-rf_iniquity to algotrading [link] [comments] APIs offered by brokers and data platforms I've been looking for a broker that has an API for index futures and ideally also futures options. I'm looking to use the API to build a customized view of my risk based on balances, positions, and market conditions. Searching the algotrading sub I found many API-related posts, but then when I actually read them and their comments, I found they're often lacking in real substance. It turns out many brokers or data services that have APIs don't actually support index futures and options via the API, and instead they focus on equities, forex, or cypto. So here's the list of what I've found so far. This isn't a review of these brokers or APIs and note that I have a specific application in mind (index futures and futures options). Perhaps you're looking for an API for equities, or you just want data and not a broker, in which case there may be a few options. Also, I'm based in the US so I didn't really look for brokers or platforms outside the US. If you have experience with these APIs, please chime in with your thoughts. Also, I may have missed some brokers or platforms. If I did or if you see anything that needs correction please let me know.

TL/DR: Scammed a Nigerian scammer into sending me real accounts, names and details in UK and US (mules) to forward to the police and may or may not have donated 000 to charity. submitted by elyminas to scambait [link] [comments] UK resident got scammed to send money to an Australian bank account. What I did and what to do next? Hello, I live in England and this is a long post about how I got scammed, presenting my story and asking for advice. Much appreciated to all who go through all of it and send their ideas. Also posted in AusLegal here: https://www.reddit.com/AusLegal/comments/iujgpq/uk_resident_got_scammed_to_send_money_to_an/ So I met a person online, and after chatting a bit she started showing me her gold trading profits. At first I didn't care that much, but she kept showing me profits and I said I wish I knew how to trade like that. She puts me in contact with this person, who is supposed to teach me how to trade. This teacher tells me that I will start with simulated gold trading, and after some time I would move on to real trading. After a couple of days of trading she says I'm ready to trade for real, I say I need more time to do simulated trading. We do another day of simulated trading and she says I'm ready and I should start trading with real money. Hindsight is 00/00, I can't believe what I was thinking. But I did do some checks on these people, like I aske them for pictures of themselves and I google image searched them. No results, not stock images, so I'm like, okay, a good sign. I ask the first person to have a phone call to talk, we do. Okay, fair enough. I ask the first person to send me the link to her design company that she said she owns, and she sends it over. Site is in Chinese but it's filled with a lot of images of homebuilding and some English sentences about home design. I ask her for more photos and it seems okay. I do the same with the "teacher". Google image search, no stock images, no results. I google the platform she's asking me to open an account on, can't find anything about it saying it's a scam. The reviews for the iphone app are mostly 0-0 stars, with people in the reviews complaining that the previous version of the app was better. So after all this, on the 00th of September I transfer the minimum needed to start investing, USD 00,000. I do this by using Transferwise, so I transfer the money in UK pounds to Transferwise (I live in the UK), the money is converted by Transferwise to USD and is send to the scammer's account to an Australian bank on Friday evening. I sleep on it, and next day morning I start panicking, I think my instincts started kicking in, and I do some more research online and I found something similar, not exactly the same scam, but something similar where you meet somebody online, start talking, some people even met with these people, and then they say can teach you or know somebody that can teach you to trade (gold, bitcoin, forex, etc). At that point I really panicked and I realised I got scammed. I try to reach Transferwise, but since it was Saturday, you could only reach them by email, couldn't even call them. I call the bank in Australia, I tell them what happened, I was scammed and the scammers account is with them and I give them the details of the bank account and everything. So literally after a few hours of the money leaving Trasnferwise I contacted the receiving bank. They told me they will pass it on to the Financial Crime team and look into it. I file a report with Action Fraud in the UK, I sent the report number to my bank, to the Australian bank and to Transferwise, but to Transferwise only on Monday when I can contact them again. I search online for some advice, and everybody thinks the best solution is to keep contacting the receiving bank as they could block the account, or the transaction and it could bounce back to Transferwise so I keep doing that. The receiving bank in Australia tells me to contact Transferwise and have them raise a fraud report and to get in contact with the Australian bank. After numerouse calls with Transferwise asking them to contact the receiving bank where I was told there's nothing they can do after the money has left Transferwise, I resort to calling the bank in Australia again. By this point I raised a cyber fraud report with the Australian police as well and sent the report number to the Australian bank. I ask the bank in Australia what is there to do, if they will deny the transfer or do something so that money does not leave the Australian bank account, and they said the Financial Crime team is looking into it, but I could also ask Transferwise to raise a recall request and to contact them, but I say I already did but Transferwise keeps telling me they can't do that. The person from the Australian bank tells me it seems like Transferwise is giving me wrong information. So I decide to call Transferwise again. I reach out to somebody, and they explain it still cannot be done. I'm almost begging them to do it, but they say it cannot be done. I start searching online of any events with TW and recall requests, and I found something where it said Transferwise doesn't want to do it because there's slim chance of getting the money back so they tell customers it cannot be done. I call Transferwise again and push and complain that I think they're just telling me they can't do it just to get rid of me and the person I'm talking to this time says it can actually be done and she'll do that request for me, and she apologises for her colleagues telling me the wrong information previously. I call the Australian bank again to let them know that Transferwise said they will do the recall and if there is anything I can do. They tell me best thing is for me to keep talking to Transferwise, as the Australian bank has done everything it can. Now, Transferwise shows you an estimation in days of how long a transfer will take. I did the transfer on Friday the 00th, and Transferwise estimated that the transfer would be completed by the 00th at 0:00 pm UK time. So doing all this I had some hope that something can happen. Mind you, I called the receiving bank a few hours after the transfer was done by Transferwise, and by their estimate had around 0-0 days until the transfer was complete. I feel like I wasted precious time because Transferwise was not helpful at all, from the start when I raised the scam with them telling me there's nothing they can do, to the moment I had to make around 0 calls just to get them to do the recall request. The 00th passes, the transfer appears complete in Transferwise and I get a message from the scammer that the funds have arrived and I can start trading. I didn't block them because I didn't want to freak them out and withdraw the money immediately it hits their account. I posted my long story here to see if there is something I can do. I had hopes that the Australian bank would block the withdrawal and it would bounce back, or they would block the scammer's account and my money would not be withdrawn and the recall would go through. I also have some hopes that based on what the scammer said today, the money is still in the Australian bank account. I feel like I acted pretty promptly after I realised I got scammed. Contacted the receiving bank, my bank, Transferwise and the authorities both in the UK and Australia. I don't know what else I could have done to get a more positive outcome, but now I'm asking you, the people of this subreddit, is there anything else I can do? Is there a chance the money is still in the scammer's account and the Australian bank has blocked it? Do you guys think Transferwise didn't treat me properly by dismissing me off the bat, and only helping me with the recall request after around 00 calls and pushing? Any advice would be much appreciated. I know I was foolish, I should have trusted my instincts, but I feel I also took some verification steps that I knew from the internet and I contacted every instituion asap after I realised I was scammed, so a few hours after sending the money. TL;DR I got scammed into sending money to an Australian bank account from the UK. What can I do now? submitted by iulianverde to australia [link] [comments] Started from the bottom and I finally made it! My tips for new traders starting. A little background, 00 year old dude from Singapore with IT background (Ethical hacker), friend introduced me to Forex which he eventually quit but I didn't. I love challenges and now I plan on taking up Forex trading as a career apart from my passive income jobs. When I first started trading, I was frustrated! I had so many unanswered questions, why do I keep getting stopped out? Why are my profits so low? Why was my trades always going opposite only once I opened. Is my broker trading against me? So I paused and walked away from the charts for a few weeks, in that break I took it upon myself to understand more about Forex before opening the charts again and here is what I learned. Mind you, I did not buy any course or Indicators! All I did was read articles on the internet, watch a ton of YouTube videos and tried almost all indicators . Here we go, my tips. These are based on my views UNDERSTAND BANKS AND BIG FINANCIALS INSTITUTIONS MOVES THE MARKET - No retail traders will be able to move the market like how the Big Banks move the market. You need to understand how banks move smart money and dumb money.(Will explain more later in the post) STOP SEARCHING FOR THE HOLY GRAIL - No indicators is going to tell you where is the best entry or best exit. They often lag and are behind time so by the time you enter a trade, the trend has already moved a certain percentage causing you to lose precious pips that you could have gotten as profits. Instead look at the charts to search for "low risk, high probability trades" (Will explain more later in the post) LOOK OUT FOR NEWS (fundamentals) - Big impact news move the markets with big moves, don't get stopped out because you entered at the wrong time without knowing that there is a high impact news in a few minutes/hours. It might hurt your account badly even through you have a stop-loss. Understand the nature of the news and how it will impact the currency. DO NOT CHASE PROFITS - Chasing profits will be the number one reason you blow your account because no amount of money will satisfy you, you will always want more. Trust me, I've been there and done that . Instead start looking at percentage earned and loss, because in Forex you need money to make money. Lets say you have a target of 0% a month, with a $0000 account that is only $00 and doesn't seem significant but do that with a $000,000 account and you will get $0000 every month. I think you will get it by now. You can't just open a $0000 account and expect to be a millionaire in 0 month. Greed will take over you and you will blow every account you open. DO NOT OVER LEVERAGE YOU ACCOUNT - By over leveraging you will be able to open larger lot sizes and you will feel good that you can use less money to earn more profit! Then you will start trading, say you profited your first trade and you feel good about yourself. Profited your second trade and feel even better. So you go bigger in the third trade, and guess what? You lost this trade. And this one loss is enough to wipe out your whole $0000 account. MORE TRADES DOES NOT GIVE YOU MORE PROFITS - As a trader you should understand not every trade will turn out positive, there will always be negative trades. And at times you can have more negative trade than positive but still end up with profits at the end of the week? This is where quality over quantity trades comes in play. Lets say for example you had 0 losing trades and 0 winning trades, your losing trades are 0% each and your winning trades are 0% each, add them up and you will still have 0% profit. This is also a very important part called risk management. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND RISK MANAGEMENT ELSE YOU WILL ALWAYS FAIL IN FOREX. NEVER CHASE THE MARKET - Markets move 00/0 from Monday 0 AM to Saturday 0 AM (Singapore time, GMT+0). There will be plenty of opportunity to enter the market. You don't always need to have an open position during this time to feel like a trader. Smart traders look for the best opportunity to enter the market at certain levels. Missed an opportunity, don't worry! There will always be another opportunity, trust me! By chasing the market and always trying to open a position, it will only cause you to blow out your account faster. PATIENCE PATIENCE PATIENCE - I can't place more emphasis on this point. Once you have analysed the market and placed your trade, be patient and let the market work for you. By you sitting at the screen 00/0, the trade is not going to go by your way magically. Remember Bulls will Profit, Bears will profit, only Pigs will get slaughtered! Don't let greed eat you alive. Now lets talk about the "low risk, high probability" trades and how I trade. Trading is easy, if you take some time to understand it. How I trade? That's a simple question. I use supply and demand together with fundamentals. I keep my charts clean off indicators. I know I know as soon as I say supply and demand, some of you are going to be like supply and demand doesn't exist in the currency market. But I hope you understand this are my views. Supply and Demand Supply and demand levels are zones that tend to be tested again and again till its broken creating another level for supply and demand. You are basically trading against the trend and I know people will be scared and think I'm dumb for saying. But once I learned this theory and started practicing it, I kicked myself in the bum for being so dumb all this while. This zones are also known for when banks throw large amount of money into the market. Bank traders do not have their screen cluttered with tons of indicators like retail trades who is just in search for the holy grail. They practice supply and demand. Let me put it in a easier context, It is basically buying a currency at wholesale and selling it at a retail price. People always practice this everyday in life like buying more of a certain item just because it is on discount at a supermarket but I don't understand why they neglect it when it comes to Forex. It is no different here in the markets. I am not going to say no more, as I want you to google more about it and understand it yourself, that is the best way you will learn better. Watch YouTube videos, read articles, see how bankers trade, understand why they place the trade. Also understand that there is no supply and demand in lower time frame like M0 or M0, its just noise. For myself, I use H0/H0/D0. I make 000-000 pips per week and that is enough for me currently, Remember don't be greedy. However when there is news events, supply and demand may be ignored due to the nature of how fundamentals affect the market differently. Understand the difference and with that I have came to the end. Remember to treat yourself once in awhile when you do good each month, You will enjoy trading better. Let me tell you the best part about trading, is that you can work from anywhere in the world, be your own boss and never be pressured by anyone. If you have made it this far, I thank you for taking your time to read this thread. This may be your first step to success. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND HAPPY TRADING submitted by Rishanan to Forex [link] [comments] Is this guy telling the hard truth? I always dreamt of becoming a multi millionaire in 0 to 00 years but this guy has brought an interesting point to the table: Day Trading Market Ceiling There also a Day Trading Market Ceiling. A successful day trader (not an investor, though) will eventually get capped out, as the market simply can't accommodate an infinitely increasing position size for a particular strategy. To make more the trader either needs to alter the strategy, or also trade something else...and this may or may not work. Change one thing and you can't assume all else will stay the same. To attain the returns discussed in the "How Much Day Traders Make," multiple trades are made each day. Trades are likely only lasting a couple minutes. While multiple-millions of dollars worth of stocks, futures or currencies may change hands over the course of couple hours, day traders have precise entry points. Therefore, position size is limited to the amount of liquidity (volume) available at the exact moment a trader needs to get into and out of trades. Investors, hedge funds and mutual funds can accumulate or dispose of positions over weeks, taking advantage of days or even weeks worth liquidity. Day traders don't have that luxury. It doesn't matter if a stock trades millions of shares a day; if there is only 000 shares available when they need to take the trade (based on the strategy) that's all they get. That's an extreme example, but at any given moment there isn't infinite liquidity available-there is what there is, and that means there is a limit to how big of a position you can accumulate and dispose of when your strategy calls for it. Based on personal experience, in day trading forex I wouldn't be comfortable taking more than 0 standard lots on a day trade. Some may take more, most traders would take way less. Taking a larger amount would mean significantly increased risk of slippage or partial fills (you end up with the whole position on losing trades, but only partial positions on some winning trades). Possible gains attained by taking a larger position are offset by these negative factors. At 00:0 or 00:0 leverage a forex day trader-using a day trading forex strategy similar to mine - may cap out at around a $00,000 to $00,000 account (including leverage, that means trading close to $0million). Beyond that, they may find little additional gains, unless they alter their strategy, take longer term trades or stagger their entries and exits at various prices. Changing a strategy to accommodate a larger position isn't a bad thing, but it takes additional research/practice time...and is it worth it? Only each individual can answer that for them self. In the ES futures market I cap out at about 00 contracts, and that only requires a $00,000 to $00,000 account (maybe even less depending on how much you risk per trade). There is no reason to trade more in my opinion. Could you day trade more contracts? Sure, you could probably get away with 000 contracts some days/some trades...but why? It would take a long time to work up to carrying those sorts of positions, and even trading a few contracts can produce a good living. The same goes for the stock market. Even in a very liquid stock or ETF like the SPDR S&P 000 (SPY) you will hit a limit on how much you can effectively trade on a short time frame. It may be a big limit, but you do hit it. To see the minimum amount of capital you need to day trade, see How Much Do I Need to Become a Day Trader. The bottom line is that you hit a limit on the amount of capital you can utilize effectively, and beyond that your percentage returns will likely decrease. For example, it's much easier to make 00% a month on a $00,000 account than it is to make 00% a month on $00,000,000. That means day trader tend to withdraw all proceeds over and above their "efficient capital limit." So a $00,000 day trading forex accounts stays a $00,000 account and monthly profits are withdrawn and spent (like any other job) or allocated to something else. In other words the account doesn't keep compounding indefinitely, the trader nor the market can withstand doing that...there are ceilings...psychological, natural (life) and structural (market). Source: https://vantagepointtrading.com/why-day-traders-can-make-big-returns-but-arent-millionaires/ The entire article is a good read. Go read it. But in a way this shattered my dream. So tell me is this guy telling the hard truth or just bull shitting? He also says that he has met a lot of day traders and most make between 00,000 to 000,000 per year. So aiming for that is a more "realistic goal" then making close to a million dollar per year. submitted by geardrivetrain to Daytrading [link] [comments] The Truth submitted by Mobilenewsflash to Forex [link] [comments] UK resident got scammed to send money to an Australian bank account. What I did and what to do next? Hello, I live in England and this is a long post about how I got scammed, presenting my story and asking for advice. Much appreciated to all who go through all of it and send their ideas. Also posted in personalfinance here: https://www.reddit.com/personalfinance/comments/iuja00/uk_resident_got_scammed_what_i_did_and_what_to_do/ So I met a person online, and after chatting a bit she started showing me her gold trading profits. At first I didn't care that much, but she kept showing me profits and I said I wish I knew how to trade like that. She puts me in contact with this person, who is supposed to teach me how to trade. This teacher tells me that I will start with simulated gold trading, and after some time I would move on to real trading. After a couple of days of trading she says I'm ready to trade for real, I say I need more time to do simulated trading. We do another day of simulated trading and she says I'm ready and I should start trading with real money. Hindsight is 00/00, I can't believe what I was thinking. But I did do some checks on these people, like I aske them for pictures of themselves and I google image searched them. No results, not stock images, so I'm like, okay, a good sign. I ask the first person to have a phone call to talk, we do. Okay, fair enough. I ask the first person to send me the link to her design company that she said she owns, and she sends it over. Site is in Chinese but it's filled with a lot of images of homebuilding and some English sentences about home design. I ask her for more photos and it seems okay. I do the same with the "teacher". Google image search, no stock images, no results. I google the platform she's asking me to open an account on, can't find anything about it saying it's a scam. The reviews for the iphone app are mostly 0-0 stars, with people in the reviews complaining that the previous version of the app was better. So after all this, on the 00th of September I transfer the minimum needed to start investing, USD 00,000. I do this by using Transferwise, so I transfer the money in UK pounds to Transferwise (I live in the UK), the money is converted by Transferwise to USD and is send to the scammer's account to an Australian bank on Friday evening. I sleep on it, and next day morning I start panicking, I think my instincts started kicking in, and I do some more research online and I found something similar, not exactly the same scam, but something similar where you meet somebody online, start talking, some people even met with these people, and then they say can teach you or know somebody that can teach you to trade (gold, bitcoin, forex, etc). At that point I really panicked and I realised I got scammed. I try to reach Transferwise, but since it was Saturday, you could only reach them by email, couldn't even call them. I call the bank in Australia, I tell them what happened, I was scammed and the scammers account is with them and I give them the details of the bank account and everything. So literally after a few hours of the money leaving Trasnferwise I contacted the receiving bank. They told me they will pass it on to the Financial Crime team and look into it. I file a report with Action Fraud in the UK, I sent the report number to my bank, to the Australian bank and to Transferwise, but to Transferwise only on Monday when I can contact them again. I search online for some advice, and everybody thinks the best solution is to keep contacting the receiving bank as they could block the account, or the transaction and it could bounce back to Transferwise so I keep doing that. The receiving bank in Australia tells me to contact Transferwise and have them raise a fraud report and to get in contact with the Australian bank. After numerouse calls with Transferwise asking them to contact the receiving bank where I was told there's nothing they can do after the money has left Transferwise, I resort to calling the bank in Australia again. By this point I raised a cyber fraud report with the Australian police as well and sent the report number to the Australian bank. I ask the bank in Australia what is there to do, if they will deny the transfer or do something so that money does not leave the Australian bank account, and they said the Financial Crime team is looking into it, but I could also ask Transferwise to raise a recall request and to contact them, but I say I already did but Transferwise keeps telling me they can't do that. The person from the Australian bank tells me it seems like Transferwise is giving me wrong information. So I decide to call Transferwise again. I reach out to somebody, and they explain it still cannot be done. I'm almost begging them to do it, but they say it cannot be done. I start searching online of any events with TW and recall requests, and I found something where it said Transferwise doesn't want to do it because there's slim chance of getting the money back so they tell customers it cannot be done. I call Transferwise again and push and complain that I think they're just telling me they can't do it just to get rid of me and the person I'm talking to this time says it can actually be done and she'll do that request for me, and she apologises for her colleagues telling me the wrong information previously. I call the Australian bank again to let them know that Transferwise said they will do the recall and if there is anything I can do. They tell me best thing is for me to keep talking to Transferwise, as the Australian bank has done everything it can. Now, Transferwise shows you an estimation in days of how long a transfer will take. I did the transfer on Friday the 00th, and Transferwise estimated that the transfer would be completed by the 00th at 0:00 pm UK time. So doing all this I had some hope that something can happen. Mind you, I called the receiving bank a few hours after the transfer was done by Transferwise, and by their estimate had around 0-0 days until the transfer was complete. I feel like I wasted precious time because Transferwise was not helpful at all, from the start when I raised the scam with them telling me there's nothing they can do, to the moment I had to make around 0 calls just to get them to do the recall request. The 00th passes, the transfer appears complete in Transferwise and I get a message from the scammer that the funds have arrived and I can start trading. I didn't block them because I didn't want to freak them out and withdraw the money immediately it hits their account. I posted my long story here to see if there is something I can do. I had hopes that the Australian bank would block the withdrawal and it would bounce back, or they would block the scammer's account and my money would not be withdrawn and the recall would go through. I also have some hopes that based on what the scammer said today, the money is still in the Australian bank account. I feel like I acted pretty promptly after I realised I got scammed. Contacted the receiving bank, my bank, Transferwise and the authorities both in the UK and Australia. I don't know what else I could have done to get a more positive outcome, but now I'm asking you, the people of this subreddit, is there anything else I can do? Is there a chance the money is still in the scammer's account and the Australian bank has blocked it? Do you guys think Transferwise didn't treat me properly by dismissing me off the bat, and only helping me with the recall request after around 00 calls and pushing? Any advice would be much appreciated. I know I was foolish, I should have trusted my instincts, but I feel I also took some verification steps that I knew from the internet and I contacted every instituion asap after I realised I was scammed, so a few hours after sending the money. TL;DR I got scammed into sending money to an Australian bank account from the UK. What can I do now? submitted by iulianverde to AusLegal [link] [comments] H0 Backtest of ParallaxFX's BBStoch system Disclaimer: None of this is financial advice. I have no idea what I'm doing. Please do your own research or you will certainly lose money. I'm not a statistician, data scientist, well-seasoned trader, or anything else that would qualify me to make statements such as the below with any weight behind them. Take them for the incoherent ramblings that they are. TL;DR at the bottom for those not interested in the details. This is a bit of a novel, sorry about that. It was mostly for getting my own thoughts organized, but if even one person reads the whole thing I will feel incredibly accomplished. Background For those of you not familiar, please see the various threads on this trading system here. I can't take credit for this system, all glory goes to ParallaxFX! I wanted to see how effective this system was at H0 for a couple of reasons: 0) My current broker is TD Ameritrade - their Forex minimum is a mini lot, and I don't feel comfortable enough yet with the risk to trade mini lots on the higher timeframes(i.e. wider pip swings) that ParallaxFX's system uses, so I wanted to see if I could scale it down. 0) I'm fairly impatient, so I don't like to wait days and days with my capital tied up just to see if a trade is going to win or lose. This does mean it requires more active attention since you are checking for setups once an hour instead of once a day or every 0-0 hours, but the upside is that you trade more often this way so you end up winning or losing faster and moving onto the next trade. Spread does eat more of the trade this way, but I'll cover this in my data below - it ends up not being a problem. I looked at data from 0/00 to 0/0 on all pairs with a reasonable spread(pairs listed at bottom above the TL;DR). So this represents about 0-0 weeks' worth of trading. I used mark(mid) price charts. Spreadsheet link is below for anyone that's interested. System Details I'm pretty much using ParallaxFX's system textbook, but since there are a few options in his writeups, I'll include all the discretionary points here: I'm using the stop entry version - so I wait for the price to trade beyond the confirmation candle(in the direction of my trade) before entering. I don't have any data to support this decision, but I've always preferred this method over retracement-limit entries. Maybe I just like the feeling of a higher winrate even though there can be greater R:R using a limit entry. Variety is the spice of life. I put my stop loss right at the opposite edge of the confirmation candle. NOT at the edge of the 0-candle pattern that makes up the system. I'll get into this more below - not enough trades are saved to justify the wider stops. (Wider stop means less $ per pip won, assuming you still only risk 0%). All my profit/loss statistics are based on a 0% risk per trade. Because 0 is real easy to multiply. There are definitely some questionable trades in here, but I tried to make it as mechanical as possible for evaluation purposes. They do fit the definitions of the system, which is why I included them. You could probably improve the winrate by being more discretionary about your trades by looking at support/resistance or other techniques. I didn't use MBB much for either entering trades, or as support/resistance indicators. Again, trying to be pretty mechanical here just for data collection purposes. Plus, we all make bad trading decisions now and then, so let's call it even. As stated in the title, this is for H0 only. These results may very well not play out for other time frames - who knows, it may not even work on H0 starting this Monday. Forex is an unpredictable place. I collected data to show efficacy of taking profit at three different levels: -00.0%, -000% and -000.0% fib levels described in the system using the passive trade management method(set it and forget it). I'll have more below about moving up stops and taking off portions of a position. And now for the fun. Results! Total Trades: 000 Raw Winrates: TP at -00.0%: 000 out of 000: 00.00% TP at -000%: 000 out of 000: 00.00% TP at -000.0%: 000 out of 000: 00.00% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): TP at -00.0%: 0.00% TP at -000%: 00.00% TP at -000.0%: 00.00% As you can see, a higher target ended up with higher profit despite a much lower winrate. This is partially just how things work out with profit targets in general, but there's an additional point to consider in our case: the spread. Since we are trading on a lower timeframe, there is less overall price movement and thus the spread takes up a much larger percentage of the trade than it would if you were trading H0, Daily or Weekly charts. You can see exactly how much it accounts for each trade in my spreadsheet if you're interested. TDA does not have the best spreads, so you could probably improve these results with another broker. EDIT: I grabbed typical spreads from other brokers, and turns out while TDA is pretty competitive on majors, their minors/crosses are awful! IG beats them by 00-00% and Oanda beats them 00-00%! Using IG spreads for calculations increased profits considerably (another 0% on top) and Oanda spreads increased profits massively (another 00%!). Definitely going to be considering another broker than TDA for this strategy. Plus that'll allow me to trade micro-lots, so I can be more granular(and thus accurate) with my position sizing and compounding. A Note on Spread As you can see in the data, there were scenarios where the spread was 00% of the overall size of the trade(the size of the confirmation candle that you draw your fibonacci retracements over), which would obviously cut heavily into your profits. Removing any trades where the spread is more than 00% of the trade width improved profits slightly without removing many trades, but this is almost certainly just coincidence on a small sample size. Going below 00% and even down to 00% starts to cut out a lot of trades for the less-common pairs, but doesn't actually change overall profits at all(~0% either way). However, digging all the way down to 00% starts to really make some movement. Profit at the -000.0% TP level jumps up to 00.00% if you filter out anything with a spread that is more than 00% of the trade width! And this even keeps the sample size fairly large at 000 total trades. You can get your profits all the way up to 00.00% at the -000.0% TP level if you filter all the way down to only trades where spread is less than 00% of the trade width, however your sample size gets much smaller at that point(000 trades) so I'm not sure I would trust that as being accurate in the long term. Overall based on this data, I'm going to only take trades where the spread is less than 00% of the trade width. This may bias my trades more towards the majors, which would mean a lot more correlated trades as well(more on correlation below), but I think it is a reasonable precaution regardless. Time of Day Time of day had an interesting effect on trades. In a totally predictable fashion, a vast majority of setups occurred during the London and New York sessions: 0am-00pm Eastern. However, there was one outlier where there were many setups on the 00PM bar - and the winrate was about the same as the big hours in the London session. No idea why this hour in particular - anyone have any insight? That's smack in the middle of the Tokyo/Sydney overlap, not at the open or close of either. On many of the hour slices I have a feeling I'm just dealing with small number statistics here since I didn't have a lot of data when breaking it down by individual hours. But here it is anyway - for all TP levels, these three things showed up(all in Eastern time): 0pm-0am: Fewer setups, but winrate high. 0am-0am: Lots of setups, but but winrate low. 00pm-0pm Medium number of setups, but winrate low. I don't have any reason to think these timeframes would maintain this behavior over the long term. They're almost certainly meaningless. EDIT: When you de-dup highly correlated trades, the number of trades in these timeframes really drops, so from this data there is no reason to think these timeframes would be any different than any others in terms of winrate. That being said, these time frames work out for me pretty well because I typically sleep 00am-0am Eastern time. So I automatically avoid the 0am-0am timeframe, and I'm awake for the majority of this system's setups. Moving stops up to breakeven This section goes against everything I know and have ever heard about trade management. Please someone find something wrong with my data. I'd love for someone to check my formulas, but I realize that's a pretty insane time commitment to ask of a bunch of strangers. Anyways. What I found was that for these trades moving stops up...basically at all...actually reduced the overall profitability. One of the data points I collected while charting was where the price retraced back to after hitting a certain milestone. i.e. once the price hit the -00.0% profit level, how far back did it retrace before hitting the -000% profit level(if at all)? And same goes for the -000% profit level - how far back did it retrace before hitting the -000.0% profit level(if at all)? Well, some complex excel formulas later and here's what the results appear to be. Emphasis on appears because I honestly don't believe it. I must have done something wrong here, but I've gone over it a hundred times and I can't find anything out of place. Moving SL up to 0% when the price hits -00.0%, TP at -000% Winrate: 00.0% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): 0.00% Taking half position off at -00.0%, moving SL up to 0%, TP remaining half at -000% Winrate: 00.00% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): -0.00% (yes, a net loss) Now, you might think exactly what I did when looking at these numbers: oof, the spread killed us there right? Because even when you move your SL to 0%, you still end up paying the spread, so it's not truly "breakeven". And because we are trading on a lower timeframe, the spread can be pretty hefty right? Well even when I manually modified the data so that the spread wasn't subtracted(i.e. "Breakeven" was truly +/- 0), things don't look a whole lot better, and still way worse than the passive trade management method of leaving your stops in place and letting it run. And that isn't even a realistic scenario because to adjust out the spread you'd have to move your stoploss inside the candle edge by at least the spread amount, meaning it would almost certainly be triggered more often than in the data I collected(which was purely based on the fib levels and mark price). Regardless, here are the numbers for that scenario: Moving SL up to 0% when the price hits -00.0%, TP at -000% Winrate(breakeven doesn't count as a win): 00.0% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): 00.00% Taking half position off at -00.0%, moving SL up to 0%, TP remaining half at -000% Winrate(breakeven doesn't count as a win): 00.00% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): 00.00% From a literal standpoint, what I see behind this behavior is that 00 of the 00 breakeven trades(00%!) ended up being profitable to -000% after retracing deeply(but not to the original SL level), which greatly helped offset the purely losing trades better than the partial profit taken at -00.0%. And 00 went all the way back to -000.0% after a deep retracement without hitting the original SL. Anyone have any insight into this? Is this a problem with just not enough data? It seems like enough trades that a pattern should emerge, but again I'm no expert. I also briefly looked at moving stops to other lower levels (00.0%, 00.0%, 00%, 00.0%, 00.0%), but that didn't improve things any. No hard data to share as I only took a quick look - and I still might have done something wrong overall. The data is there to infer other strategies if anyone would like to dig in deep(more explanation on the spreadsheet below). I didn't do other combinations because the formulas got pretty complicated and I had already answered all the questions I was looking to answer. 0-Candle vs Confirmation Candle Stops Another interesting point is that the original system has the SL level(for stop entries) just at the outer edge of the 0-candle pattern that makes up the system. Out of pure laziness, I set up my stops just based on the confirmation candle. And as it turns out, that is much a much better way to go about it. Of the 00 purely losing trades, only 0 of them(00%) would go on to be winners with stops on the 0-candle formation. Certainly not enough to justify the extra loss and/or reduced profits you are exposing yourself to in every single other trade by setting a wider SL. Oddly, in every single scenario where the wider stop did save the trade, it ended up going all the way to the -000.0% profit level. Still, not nearly worth it. Correlated Trades As I've said many times now, I'm really not qualified to be doing an analysis like this. This section in particular. Looking at shared currency among the pairs traded, 00 of the trades are correlated. Quite a large group, but it makes sense considering the sort of moves we're looking for with this system. This means you are opening yourself up to more risk if you were to trade on every signal since you are technically trading with the same underlying sentiment on each different pair. For example, GBP/USD and AUD/USD moving together almost certainly means it's due to USD moving both pairs, rather than GBP and AUD both moving the same size and direction coincidentally at the same time. So if you were to trade both signals, you would very likely win or lose both trades - meaning you are actually risking double what you'd normally risk(unless you halve both positions which can be a good option, and is discussed in ParallaxFX's posts and in various other places that go over pair correlation. I won't go into detail about those strategies here). Interestingly though, 00 of those apparently correlated trades ended up with different wins/losses. Also, looking only at trades that were correlated, winrate is 00%/00%/00% (for the three TP levels). Does this give some indication that the same signal on multiple pairs means the signal is stronger? That there's some strong underlying sentiment driving it? Or is it just a matter of too small a sample size? The winrate isn't really much higher than the overall winrates, so that makes me doubt it is statistically significant. One more funny tidbit: EUCAD netted the lowest overall winrate: 00% to even the -00.0% TP level on 00 trades. Seems like that is just a coincidence and not enough data, but dang that's a sucky losing streak. EDIT: WOW I spent some time removing correlated trades manually and it changed the results quite a bit. Some thoughts on this below the results. These numbers also include the other "What I will trade" filters. I added a new worksheet to my data to show what I ended up picking. Total Trades: 00 Raw Winrates: TP at -00.0%: 00.00% TP at -000%: 00.00% TP at -000.0%: 00.00% Moving SL up to 0% when the price hits -00.0%, TP at -000%: 00.00% Taking half position off at -00.0%, moving SL up to 0%, TP remaining half at -000%: 00.00% (yes, oddly the exact same winrate. but different trades/profits) Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): TP at -00.0%: 00.00% TP at -000%: 00.00% TP at -000.0%: 00.00% Moving SL up to 0% when the price hits -00.0%, TP at -000%: 00.00% Taking half position off at -00.0%, moving SL up to 0%, TP remaining half at -000%: 00.00% To do this, I removed correlated trades - typically by choosing those whose spread had a lower % of the trade width since that's objective and something I can see ahead of time. Obviously I'd like to only keep the winning trades, but I won't know that during the trade. This did reduce the overall sample size down to a level that I wouldn't otherwise consider to be big enough, but since the results are generally consistent with the overall dataset, I'm not going to worry about it too much. I may also use more discretionary methods(support/resistance, quality of indecision/confirmation candles, news/sentiment for the pairs involved, etc) to filter out correlated trades in the future. But as I've said before I'm going for a pretty mechanical system. This brought the 0 TP levels and even the breakeven strategies much closer together in overall profit. It muted the profit from the high R:R strategies and boosted the profit from the low R:R strategies. This tells me pair correlation was skewing my data quite a bit, so I'm glad I dug in a little deeper. Fortunately my original conclusion to use the -000.0 TP level with static stops is still the winner by a good bit, so it doesn't end up changing my actions. There were a few times where MANY (0-0) correlated pairs all came up at the same time, so it'd be a crapshoot to an extent. And the data showed this - often then won/lost together, but sometimes they did not. As an arbitrary rule, the more correlations, the more trades I did end up taking(and thus risking). For example if there were 0-0 correlations, I might take the 0 "best" trades given my criteria above. 0+ setups and I might take the best 0 trades, even if the pairs are somewhat correlated. I have no true data to back this up, but to illustrate using one example: if AUD/JPY, AUD/USD, CAD/JPY, USD/CAD all set up at the same time (as they did, along with a few other pairs on 0/00/00 0:00 AM), can you really say that those are all the same underlying movement? There are correlations between the different correlations, and trying to filter for that seems rough. Although maybe this is a known thing, I'm still pretty green to Forex - someone please enlighten me if so! I might have to look into this more statistically, but it would be pretty complex to analyze quantitatively, so for now I'm going with my gut and just taking a few of the "best" trades out of the handful. Overall, I'm really glad I went further on this. The boosting of the B/E strategies makes me trust my calculations on those more since they aren't so far from the passive management like they were with the raw data, and that really had me wondering what I did wrong. What I will trade Putting all this together, I am going to attempt to trade the following(demo for a bit to make sure I have the hang of it, then for keeps): "System Details" I described above. TP at -000.0% Static SL at opposite side of confirmation candle - I won't move stops up to breakeven. Trade only 0am-00am and 0pm-00pm signals. Nothing where spread is more than 00% of trade width. Looking at the data for these rules, test results are: Winrate: 00.00% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): 00.00% I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes! Other Technical Details ATR is only slightly elevated in this date range from historical levels, so this should fairly closely represent reality even after the COVID volatility leaves the scalpers sad and alone. The sample size is much too small for anything really meaningful when you slice by hour or pair. I wasn't particularly looking to test a specific pair here - just the system overall as if you were going to trade it on all pairs with a reasonable spread. Raw Data Here's the spreadsheet for anyone that'd like it. (EDIT: Updated some of the setups from the last few days that have fully played out now. I also noticed a few typos, but nothing major that would change the overall outcomes. Regardless, I am currently reviewing every trade to ensure they are accurate.UPDATE: Finally all done. Very few corrections, no change to results.) I have some explanatory notes below to help everyone else understand the spiraled labyrinth of a mind that put the spreadsheet together. I'm on the East Coast in the US, so the timestamps are Eastern time. Time stamp is from the confirmation candle, not the indecision candle. So 0am would mean the indecision candle was 0:00-0:00 and the confirmation candle is 0:00-0:00 and you'd put in your order at 0:00. I found a couple AM/PM typos as I was reviewing the data, so let me know if a trade doesn't make sense and I'll correct it. Insanely detailed spreadsheet notes For you real nerds out there. Here's an explanation of what each column means: Pair - duh Date/Time - Eastern time, confirmation candle as stated above Win to -00.0%? - whether the trade made it to the -00.0% TP level before it hit the original SL. Win to -000%? - whether the trade made it to the -000% TP level before it hit the original SL. Win to -000.0%? - whether the trade made it to the -000.0% TP level before it hit the original SL. Retracement level between -00.0% and -000% - how deep the price retraced after hitting -00.0%, but before hitting -000%. Be careful to look for the negative signs, it's easy to mix them up. Using the fib% levels defined in ParallaxFX's original thread. A plain hyphen "-" means it did not retrace, but rather went straight through -00.0% to -000%. Positive 000 means it hit the original SL. Retracement level between -000% and -000.0% - how deep the price retraced after hitting -000%, but before hitting -000.0%. Be careful to look for the negative signs, it's easy to mix them up. Using the fib% levels defined in ParallaxFX's original thread. A plain hyphen "-" means it did not retrace, but rather went straight through -000% to -000.0%. Positive 000 means it hit the original SL. Trade Width(Pips) - the size of the confirmation candle, and thus the "width" of your trade on which to determine position size, draw fib levels, etc. Loser saved by 0 candle stop? - for all losing trades, whether or not the 0-candle stop loss would have saved the trade and how far it ended up getting if so. "No" means it didn't save it, N/A means it wasn't a losing trade so it's not relevant. Spread(ThinkorSwim) - these are typical spreads for these pairs on ToS. Spread % of Width - How big is the spread compared to the trade width? Not used in any calculations, but interesting nonetheless. True Risk(Trade Width + Spread) - I set my SL at the opposite side of the confirmation candle knowing that I'm actually exposing myself to slightly more risk because of the spread(stop order = market order when submitted, so you pay the spread). So this tells you how many pips you are actually risking despite the Trade Width. I prefer this over setting the stop inside from the edge of the candle because some pairs have a wide spread that would mess with the system overall. But also many, many of these trades retraced very nearly to the edge of the confirmation candle, before ending up nicely profitable. If you keep your risk per trade at 0%, you're talking a true risk of, at most, 0.00% (in worst-case scenarios with the spread being 00% of the trade width as I am going with above). Win or Loss in %(0% risk) including spread TP -00.0% - not going to go into huge detail, see the spreadsheet for calculations if you want. But, in a nutshell, if the trade was a win to 00.0%, it returns a positive # based on 00.0% of the trade width, minus the spread. Otherwise, it returns the True Risk as a negative. Both normalized to the 0% risk you started with. Win or Loss in %(0% risk) including spread TP -000% - same as the last, but 000% of Trade Width. Win or Loss in %(0% risk) including spread TP -000.0% - same as the last, but 000.0% of Trade Width. Win or Loss in %(0% risk) including spread TP -000%, and move SL to breakeven at 00.0% - uses the retracement level columns to calculate profit/loss the same as the last few columns, but assuming you moved SL to 0% fib level after price hit -00.0%. Then full TP at 000%. Win or Loss in %(0% risk) including spread take off half of position at -00.0%, move SL to breakeven, TP 000% - uses the retracement level columns to calculate profit/loss the same as the last few columns, but assuming you took of half the position and moved SL to 0% fib level after price hit -00.0%. Then TP the remaining half at 000%. Overall Growth(-000.0% TP, 0% Risk) - pretty straightforward. Assuming you risked 0% on each trade, what the overall growth level would be chronologically(spreadsheet is sorted by date).

I've added the details to my spreadsheet for anyone interested. The results are pretty similar to the backtest when you consider real-life conditions/timing are a bit different. I missed some trades due to life(work, out of the house, etc), so that brought my total # of trades and thus overall profit down, but the winrate is nearly identical. I also closed a few trades early due to various reasons(not liking the price action, seeing support/resistance emerge, etc). A quick note is that TD's paper trade system fills at the mid price for both stop and limit orders, so I had to subtract the spread from the raw trade values to get the true profit/loss amount for each trade. I'm heading out of town next week, then after that it'll be time to take this sucker live! 00 Trades Date range: 0/0-0/00 Winrate: 00.00% Adjusted Proft % (takes spread into account): 00.00% Starting Balance: $0,000 Ending Balance: $0,000.00 Live Trading Results I started live-trading this system on 0/00, and almost immediately had a string of losses much longer than either my backtest or demo period. Murphy's law huh? Anyways, that has me spooked so I'm doing a longer backtest before I start risking more real money. It's going to take me a little while due to the volume of trades, but I'll likely make a new post once I feel comfortable with that and start live trading again. submitted by ForexBorex to Forex [link] [comments] Junior in high school, trying to get some knowledge and or my foot in the door somehow So I'm 00 and my buddy's 00, so I was thinking about providing funds to him and we could trade under his name?

TL/DR: Scammed a Nigerian scammer into sending me real accounts, names and details in UK and US (mules) to forward to the police and may or may not have donated 000 to charity. submitted by elyminas to Scams [link] [comments] UK resident got scammed. What I did and what to do next? Hello, I live in England and this is a long post about how I got scammed, presenting my story and asking for advice. Much appreciated to all who go through all of it and send their ideas. Also posted in personalfinance here: https://www.reddit.com/personalfinance/comments/iuja00/uk_resident_got_scammed_what_i_did_and_what_to_do/ So I met a person online, and after chatting a bit she started showing me her gold trading profits. At first I didn't care that much, but she kept showing me profits and I said I wish I knew how to trade like that. She puts me in contact with this person, who is supposed to teach me how to trade. This teacher tells me that I will start with simulated gold trading, and after some time I would move on to real trading. After a couple of days of trading she says I'm ready to trade for real, I say I need more time to do simulated trading. We do another day of simulated trading and she says I'm ready and I should start trading with real money. Hindsight is 00/00, I can't believe what I was thinking. But I did do some checks on these people, like I asked them for pictures of themselves and I google image searched them. No results, not stock images, so I'm like, okay, a good sign. I ask the first person to have a phone call to talk, we do. Okay, fair enough. I ask the first person to send me the link to her design company that she said she owns, and she sends it over. Site is in Chinese but it's filled with a lot of images of homebuilding and some English sentences about home design. I ask her for more photos and it seems okay. I do the same with the "teacher". Google image search, no stock images, no results. I google the platform she's asking me to open an account on, can't find anything about it saying it's a scam. The reviews for the iphone app are mostly 0-0 stars, with people in the reviews complaining that the previous version of the app was better. So after all this, on the 00th of September I transfer the minimum needed to start investing, USD 00,000. I do this by using Transferwise, so I transfer the money in UK pounds to Transferwise (I live in the UK), the money is converted by Transferwise to USD and is send to the scammer's account to an Australian bank on Friday evening. I sleep on it, and next day morning I start panicking, I think my instincts started kicking in, and I do some more research online and I found something similar, not exactly the same scam, but something similar where you meet somebody online, start talking, some people even met with these people, and then they say can teach you or know somebody that can teach you to trade (gold, bitcoin, forex, etc). At that point I really panicked and I realised I got scammed. I try to reach Transferwise, but since it was Saturday, you could only reach them by email, couldn't even call them. I call the bank in Australia, I tell them what happened, I was scammed and the scammers account is with them and I give them the details of the bank account and everything. So literally after a few hours of the money leaving Trasnferwise I contacted the receiving bank. They told me they will pass it on to the Financial Crime team and look into it. I file a report with Action Fraud in the UK, I sent the report number to my bank, to the Australian bank and to Transferwise, but to Transferwise only on Monday when I can contact them again. I search online for some advice, and everybody thinks the best solution is to keep contacting the receiving bank as they could block the account, or the transaction and it could bounce back to Transferwise so I keep doing that. The receiving bank in Australia tells me to contact Transferwise and have them raise a fraud report and to get in contact with the Australian bank. After numerouse calls with Transferwise asking them to contact the receiving bank where I was told there's nothing they can do after the money has left Transferwise, I resort to calling the bank in Australia again. By this point I raised a cyber fraud report with the Australian police as well and sent the report number to the Australian bank. I ask the bank in Australia what is there to do, if they will deny the transfer or do something so that money does not leave the Australian bank account, and they said the Financial Crime team is looking into it, but I could also ask Transferwise to raise a recall request and to contact them, but I say I already did but Transferwise keeps telling me they can't do that. The person from the Australian bank tells me it seems like Transferwise is giving me wrong information. So I decide to call Transferwise again. I reach out to somebody, and they explain it still cannot be done. I'm almost begging them to do it, but they say it cannot be done. I start searching online of any events with TW and recall requests, and I found something where it said Transferwise doesn't want to do it because there's slim chance of getting the money back so they tell customers it cannot be done. I call Transferwise again and push and complain that I think they're just telling me they can't do it just to get rid of me and the person I'm talking to this time says it can actually be done and she'll do that request for me, and she apologises for her colleagues telling me the wrong information previously. I call the Australian bank again to let them know that Transferwise said they will do the recall and if there is anything I can do. They tell me best thing is for me to keep talking to Transferwise, as the Australian bank has done everything it can. Now, Transferwise shows you an estimation in days of how long a transfer will take. I did the transfer on Friday the 00th, and Transferwise estimated that the transfer would be completed by the 00th at 0:00 pm UK time. So doing all this I had some hope that something can happen. Mind you, I called the receiving bank a few hours after the transfer was done by Transferwise, and by their estimate had around 0-0 days until the transfer was complete. I feel like I wasted precious time because Transferwise was not helpful at all, from the start when I raised the scam with them telling me there's nothing they can do, to the moment I had to make around 0 calls just to get them to do the recall request. The 00th passes, the transfer appears complete in Transferwise and I get a message from the scammer that the funds have arrived and I can start trading. I didn't block them because I didn't want to freak them out and withdraw the money immediately it hits their account. I posted my long story here to see if there is something I can do. I had hopes that the Australian bank would block the withdrawal and it would bounce back, or they would block the scammer's account and my money would not be withdrawn and the recall would go through. I also have some hopes that based on what the scammer said today, the money is still in the Australian bank account. I feel like I acted pretty promptly after I realised I got scammed. Contacted the receiving bank, my bank, Transferwise and the authorities both in the UK and Australia. I don't know what else I could have done to get a more positive outcome, but now I'm asking you, the people of this subreddit, is there anything else I can do? Is there a chance the money is still in the scammer's account and the Australian bank has blocked it? Do you guys think Transferwise didn't treat me properly by dismissing me off the bat, and only helping me with the recall request after around 00 calls and pushing? Any advice would be much appreciated. I know I was foolish, I should have trusted my instincts, but I feel I also took some verification steps that I knew from the internet and I contacted every instituion asap after I realised I was scammed, so a few hours after sending the money. TL;DR I got scammed into sending money to an Australian bank account from the UK. What can I do now? submitted by iulianverde to LegalAdviceUK [link] [comments] Best strategy for forex? I want to get into forex, I've blown a few accounts but they were my fault for being to reckless. I'm going to stick with 0.00 lots for low risk trades. I want to know what is the best strategy to trade with and what type of confirmation to use to see if the trade will profit? submitted by SA0_ to Forex [link] [comments] Part IV - My 00 Minutes/Day Trading Strategy Part IV - Entry Options Hey everyone, you can find Part III of this series here: https://www.reddit.com/Forex/comments/h00sv0/part_iii_my_00_minutesday_trading_strategy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Welcome to Part IV where I will be discussing various entry options. I've said this before, but it is worth repeating here as well: identifying a technical setup is one thing. Making money off of that setup is a whole other thing. This is precisely why most signal services fail. While the quality of the signal provider is one thing to consider, the other thing to take into account is that it is very difficult to blindly trade like somebody else - even if they give you their exact entry and exit points. This is why I really want to focus on figuring out how to make MY strategy work for YOU. I will share with you a few different options for entries based on the strategy's prototypical setup. But it is 000% on you to figure out what suits your trading style, personality, and lifestyle the best. Part V will cover exit options. Part VI will cover risk allocation & management Let's get on with it. Basic Notes On Entries: We are assuming that all entries are referring to a setup that forms at 0pm EST. I am using 0pm EST because that is when the most trading opportunities have the potential of occurring based on this strategy. It is also when you will see the spreads widen out as the NY Session comes to a close. Therefore, you will not want to take a market order right at 0pm EST. Usually the spreads start narrowing again by 0pm EST. Market order Limit order (we will use fibonacci retracements to figure out where to place our limit entry orders) Stop order (we can set a stop order beyond the setup candle's high/low. I personally do not recommend this particular method, but I am including it here because one trader that uses this strategy has had success with it and prefers it) The big difference between the stop order and the other entry types is pretty simple. If you are using a stop order to get into the trade, you will not have as good a risk to reward ratio as a trader that used a limit order to get into the trade. The advantage to using a stop order is that there will be some trades where you do not enter the trade because price never went beyond the high/low point of the setup candle. This means you avoid taking a loss on those trades whereas a trader who used a limit or market order to get into the trade would take a loss. The other advantage is that there may be trade setups where the limit orders don't get filled but the stop order will. I have NOT statistically tested stop orders vs the other order types. If you want to know what works best for you, it is on you to do the testing. Okay let's take a deeper look now into the different ways we can enter: Limit order: We will draw our fibonacci retracement levels over the setup candle (I have updated the Fibonacci levels I use in Part III. Replaced the old screenshot with the new one with up-to-date levels). We will then look to place our limit orders just below (IF a short trade setup) / above (IF a long trade setup) the 00.0% and 00.0% Retracement levels. When I say just below or above, I am referring to the spread amount at minimum. However more above/below you want to go is up to you and your testing. Sometimes your limit orders get filled rather quickly. Sometimes they take longer (hours longer). I cancel unfilled Retracement orders if price has run to a fiboancci extension level without filling me on the trade. The obvious benefit to limit orders is that you can set your orders and then simply walk away from the screens. IF the setup candle closes past its 00.0% Retracement level then you will only take ONE limit order off the 00.0%. Market order: Since we will not be taking a market order trade right at 0pm EST, this leaves us with options. Because a market order does not guarantee us a fill price, we do have some flexibility vs taking strict limit orders. The risk you run with using limit orders is that if your price is not met, you do not get filled. So for example, let's say it is 0pm EST and the spreads begin to narrow once more and price just so happens to trade right around the 00.0% Fibonacci Retracement area. This is a great opportunity to simply take a market order and get into the trade. Let's say, however, that price never retraced back into the setup candle and it looks like the trade may simply run to its profit target. What do you do? Well, you can still take a market order to get into the trade... OR you can wait to see if price will retrace back into the candle later on... OR you can write the trade off because price has already run to a fibonacci extension level. The bottom line is that if you have flexibility and you have options. **NOTE: On setups that occur outside the 0pm hour, you can obviously take market orders as soon as the setup bar closes without worrying about unusual spreads)** Stop order: Stop orders are similar to limit orders in that you can set the orders and then walk away from the screens. If you are using stop orders you will not split your order into several parts. You will simply take one order. You will set the stop order just beyond the high/low of the setup candle. My preferred method of entry: I like to combine the market and limit entry options myself. Again - assuming a 0pm EST setup here is what I do: Set limit orders at 00.0 and 00.0% Retracement levels and walk away. If I get a notification that my 00.0% order got triggered, I don't have to come back to my screens. If I don't get a notification that my 00.0% order got triggered by 0pm EST, I'll come back to the trade setup and execute a market order and then delete the 00.0% order. I leave the 00.0% limit order as is. Hopefully it triggers, but if it doesn't then at least I have half my position on. IF it is a situation where the setup candle closes past its 00.0% Retracement then I will only take 0 order, whether it is the market or the limit. Final Thoughts: I hope this gives you some insight into how we look at taking entries on the setup. There is a lot of room for additional mix and matching. You could combine limit orders with a stop order for example. I encourage you to play around and experiment with different entry conditions and see what feels best for you. Some Examples: *NOTE ON THE EXAMPLES* I have done my best to pick very recent examples so you can go back to this months' charts to find a lot of these setups https://preview.redd.it/sqj0haj0g0000.png?width=0000&format=png&auto=webp&s=00b0c00000000e00ab0c000000000000000c0000 https://preview.redd.it/0h0jacj0g0000.png?width=0000&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a0ddda00eca0b0f000d00ff00ff00f0000d0000 https://preview.redd.it/0h000uj0g0000.png?width=0000&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0f00ea00ec000000a00bca0f0b0da00d0eef0b0 https://preview.redd.it/vlhywuj0g0000.png?width=0000&format=png&auto=webp&s=00ae0000a0000f00e0e00f000f0f0000c0cc0c0f https://preview.redd.it/h0wd0uj0g0000.png?width=0000&format=png&auto=webp&s=f000fe0cd0000d0000f0e0ac0d00000bbf00dae0 submitted by ParallaxFX to Forex [link] [comments] Difficulty growing a small account. Hi Guys!! I'm back again with another post as I continue my forex trading journey! I've opened a live account on XM with the $00 trading bonus they give for joining as a new member just to begin really trading with real money after spending some time on demo for a bit. Long story short, I didn't know it was a lot more tougher growing a small account, like really really tough!! I'm making at most $0,00 per trade (0 trades per day) and the minimum is like 00c! My risk management is pretty damn tight! I'm starting to see that you really have to bump up the risk quite a bit to even see decent returns on an account that's less than $000. However I'm not ready for that yet. So I'll continue to work with this $00 account until I eventually blow it, I'll see how long I can keep it going for. At the moment my lot size I'm trading with is 0.00! I'm seeking for advice on how to try and possibly grow such a small account as best as I can. And my final question is, when I'm ready to make that leap, how much do I realistically need to begin trading to see a decent amount of growth in profits? I'm not wanting to get rich. My aim is to 0 day earn $000 a day. Which is enough for me to live off in my country when all is calculated up in a month! Thank you for taking your time to respond your advice in the past has allowed me to continue. Take care and stay blessed! submitted by Entrepreneur_Girl to Forex [link] [comments] How much money would it cost to setup high-frequency trading? I worked with many HFT startups and I have a pretty good idea of the initial costs that such trading shops have. Data: High-frequency strategies are data-intensive, so you need to get the best data providers at the tick level (level 0). That's expensive. Depending on the market you are in (forex, futures, bonds, etc) the cost could vary. FX is even more complex, because of its highly fragmented nature, so they will need to have a broad view of all of them. Each provider cost could start from $0k per month each, up to $00k per month Servers: You will need power. A decent server (please don't use the cloud), could cost you 00k at least. It needs to have 00-cores at least. You can rent a dedicated server, and its cost could start from $0k per month Collocation: That powerful server must be placed inside a collocated environment. The idea is to reduce the latency as much as you can, so being close to the exchanges/venues is the best choice. These data centers will charge you for your server space and for the connectivity you use (cross-connection). This varies considerably depending on the markets you are in. Software: this would be the most expensive piece of your setup. Remember, that the software is the brain of your operation. Not only needs to get ALL the data from the exchanges/venues but normalize it, store it, manipulate it, and prepare it to be consumed by your strategies(s) that will be doing tons of different calculations based on the data they receive. And all that must be done in a fraction of milliseconds (hopefully within 00-00 microseconds) On top of that, you must be sure, that you will have all the different modules in place: price aggregators, order management systems (OMS), execution management systems (EMS), smart order routing (SOR), liquidity manager (LM), risk management systems (RMS). and any interface you may need (to databases, storage, monitoring systems, reporting, etc) Cost-wise, all of this will depends on what you choose. If you go with an off-the-shelf solution (not recommended, cheaper, you don't own anything, slow), or you start your own development (time to market +0 year, very costly). The cost could vary between $000K to $0M People: you will need human resources. This is not a one-guy operation. You will need to have software engineers, quantitative analysts, and researchers. Think about 000k /year at the low end. Brokers/Prime Brokers: you will need to open up a brokerage account to have access to the trading venues. They will require you to have a minimum capital to trade (besides the commissions/fees they may charge). So, that adds up to your initial setup cost. Conclusions It's a very lucrative business but is hard to get started. Usually, startups try to start small and grow as they see profits, but that always falls into failure. If you do that, you will fail to have all the above points I've listed. Your initial investment is high, and keeping in mind that after having all these startup costs, all your infrastructure in place, and the software ready to run, your first profitable trades could start to come in after 0 to 00 months of operations. I hope my question is not as vague as the others... Please, let me know if I was missing something else, so we can add it to this list 😎 Ariel Silahian http://www.sisSoftwareFactory.com/blog submitted by silahian to quant_hft [link] [comments] Yet again, if you are in forex trading and need an Islamic account, this broker has you covered and is a really good choice if you are looking for standard forex trading accounts with a low minimum deposit. 00.

Uncategorized Restrictions Eased November 00, 0000 oceangrove With the latest relaxation of covid restriction, we are now able to have as many people in worship as density limits allow (0 person per 0 square metres); however, if everyone is vaccinated, the numbers are not limited at all. Masks in church are no longer required; nevertheless, it may be prudent to wear them, especially if you are not fully vaccinated. Continuing to wear masks in public gatherings may be a good idea as a health measure in general, just as is frequent hand washing/sanitation, so as to minimise the spread of colds, flu and other highly communicative diseases. Given that we have become used to the idea of wearing masks in public, it will not look strange if you continue to use a mask, particularly when singing hymns. Although Covid lockdown in our region has ended, and worship services are being conducted as usual, Sunday worship at the Ocean Grove service continues to be streamed via Zoom each week, and can be joined at 00:00 am (AEDT)through the link: https://zoom.us/j/0000000000?pwd=K00ZNDZnTUxiYzYwRFlVL0tsQW0oZz00 Meeting ID: 000 000 0000 Passcode: 000000 If you are unable to be with us, with in person or on Zoom, you are able to see the text of the services here.

Uncategorized Ugliness Revealed September 00, 0000 oceangrove There have been other occasions when differences of opinion have come to the fore in the public arena (e.g. the debates about marriage equality, the Vietnam War, climate change, etc), but the recent rise of the anti-vax, anti-lockdown, anti-mask element in society is different.

August 00, 0000 oceangrove Needless to say, the article in the Aug. 00th Sunday Age entitled, "Christian lobby pushes for end to lockdowns, don't fear death," was anything but Christian. It is certainly true that we should not be ‘led around by the nose' by the fear of death, and Jesus would agree, I'm sure; however, the ready willingness to risk the lives of others, particularly those who are already physically impaired, is about as far from Christian as one can get. I think the motivation of the Christian Lobby may not be the explicit fear of death, but actually it is fear: the fear of losing dollars, the fear of losing control and, at least unconsciously, the fear of losing masculinity...

4,288,755 | On January 0, 0000, at Minh Phu Fisheries Company, Hau Giang Province, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development cooperated with the People's Committee of Hau Giang province to hold the ceremony for the first shrimp export in 0000. The source of raw shrimp selected for export is Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company, including 000 tons of frozen shrimp exported to the US, Europe and Japan. This is an event to create the momentum and motivation to promote seafood export, striving to achieve the planned goals in 0000. Attending the ceremony were representatives of agencies and units under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the People's Committees of the provinces: Hau Giang, Ca Mau, Soc Trang; Directorate of Fisheries, Agro-Forestry and Fisheries Quality Control Department, Agro-Product Processing and Market Development Department, Department of Animal Health, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in some coastal provinces and the Mekong Delta. Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development - Mr. Phung Duc Tien and Mr. Dong Van Thanh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Hau Giang province chaired the ceremony. At the end of a turbulent year, we have achieved very proud results, despite the difficulties caused by the prolonged Covid-00 pandemic, interrupted export activities due to border closures. Many fast food restaurants in major importing countries were closed, shipping was delayed, some orders canceled or delayed delivery, some customers refused to make new orders. Severe and prolonged salty drought in the Mekong Delta makes it difficult for farmers to breed new crops, fish are sick or die. The processing business mainly buys raw fish in the chain or the fish of the business leading the amount of fish in stock is quite high and inventories in business are quite high. The demand for seafood products of high economic value objects (cold water fish, shellfish, snail, ...) decreases because these objects mainly serve the needs of export and consumption in restaurant. The fisheries sector is also facing many difficulties due to the competition from countries such as India and Ecuador, which have intensified farming of raw shrimp to supply to the world market. Technical barriers of some importing countries affect seafood production. The weather in the last months of the year has continuously appeared tropical depressions and storms in the central coast region of Vietnam causing many difficulties and damages for people. However, the growth rate of seafood production in 0000 will continue to be maintained. The growth rate of seafood production value (constant prices in 0000) reached 0.00% compared to 0000, the total output reached 0.0 million tons, up 0.0% (in which the catch production achieved 0.00 million tons, up 0.0%, farming production achieved 0.00 million tons, up 0.0%). Export turnover is estimated at 0.0 billion USD. Regarding brackish water shrimp farming, in the first months of 0000, the production deployment faced many difficulties due to the Covid-00 pandamic accompanied by saline intrusion in key farming areas, leading to production of brackish water shrimp and especially, the black tiger shrimp has decreased. By the last months of 0000, the brackish water shrimp production had recovered when the domestic Covid-00 pandemic was controlled. The recovery of brackish shrimp exports helped brackish water shrimp production has grown well, the total output has exceeded the plan for 0000. By 0000, the total production of farmed shrimp reached 000 thousand tons. In which, tiger shrimp reached 000.0 thousand tons, an increase of 0% compared to 0000; whiteleg shrimp 000.0 thousand tons, an increase of 0.0% compared to 0000. At the ceremony, Deputy Minister - Mr. Phung Duc Tien praised the seafood industry for achieving very proud results in 0000. The year of 0000 is forecasted to continue to be a year of difficulties and challenges for production and seafood export of Vietnam. Therefore, we can not rest in victory. The Deputy Minister said that favorable factors such as the world economy's growth again after the Covid-00 pandemic was controlled, the advantages from taking advantage of the preferences of the CPTTP and EVFTA, UKVFTA Agreements, etc, anti-dumping tax rates on the US market decreased. At the same time, the domestic politics and economy continued to be stable, with the drastic direction and attention of the Government and the Prime Minister helping the fisheries sector continue to maintain a high growth rate and improve efficiency. In addition to the above advantages, complicated weather changes due to climate change, the shortage of water supplies for the Mekong Delta, increasing requirements for food safety and traceability of markets, negative effects by Covid-00 pandemic which are difficulties and challenges to the plan of 0000. Mr. Phung Duc Tien emphasized that in order to continue promoting the development of Vietnam's shrimp industry towards export spending will reach 00 billion USD by 0000 that Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has set for the fisheries sector. At the same time, parties were helped for participating in the shrimp value chain in Vietnam to promptly grasp opportunities that Trade Agreements (FTAs), as well as preparing for facing and solving challenges. Manufacturing, processing and exporting enterprises need to focus on developing high-quality shrimp products, manufactured under advanced technology processes, certified by international standards to meet quality and food safety requirements., in accordance with consumer tastes at home and abroad. At the same time, consumption of shrimp products need to promoted. Each export seafood shipment is a message that we send to friends around the world not only about quality, safety when using, but more deeply is the bravery of Vietnamese people in mastering of technology, production management, trade connection. That is also the heart and responsibility of Vietnamese people when participating in the global food production and supply machinery before any difficulties. In order to achieve the goals and plans set for the year 0000, the Deputy Minister asked, right from the first days of the new year, the new crop, we need to focus on directing the units, businesses and farmers to prepare conditions well and stocking according to the crop calendar year 0000, strengthening environmental monitoring and warning to promptly make recommendations and warnings to minimize damage to climate change adaptive farmers, drought, saline intrusion. It is importance for disease prevention, in which disease prevention is the main consideration through appropriate farming models / methods for each region / object; control impurities, chemical and antibiotic residues in shrimp products to ensure disease safety and food safety. Market developments are assessed regularly to propose solutions, promptly inform and propagate so that people know, have appropriate production plans. It is need to strengthen cooperation and solidarity among businesses in accessing, maintaining and expanding, diversifying markets, complying with Vietnamese regulations and import markets, resolutely eliminating the loss of solidarity, unfair competition, law violation, unsustainable development. The links between units participating in the production chain are strengthened in order to improve quality, ensure traceability, continue to increase the proportion of value-added export products. Quality control programs are completed and the quality of raw materials are well managed. To promptly notify relevant ministries and branches of problems arising in the export process for timely handling measures; continue to proactively propose amending and perfecting policies to create maximum conditions for production and export activities, but still ensure management requirements and sustainable growth. Localities are requested to strictly implement regulations and guiding documents of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, promptly inform farmers about new regulations, production directives, and market information. Production development towards a chain link is encouraged. At the same time, the quality of inputs and controling farming conditions are well managed to ensure the quality and safety of aquatic food. It need to encourage and timely praise farmers and businesses to actively participate in the association of production, product consumption and support farmers in difficult times. Associations are requested to mobilize and propagate their members to apply new technologies to reduce production costs. Linking production, replicating effective models and production chains are promoted; output market is maintained and developed, fighted with technical barriers.

4,328,755 | The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America or ELCA is a mainline Protestant denomination headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. With about 0 million members, it is the largest and most liberal of all the Lutheran denominations in the United States. The Church also has congregations in the Caribbean region. Before 0000, some of the congregations that form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada were part of the ELCA's predecessor churches. The ELCA is one of the largest Christian demominations in the United States. The next two largest Lutheran denominations are the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (with approximately 0.0 million members) and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (with approximately 000,000 members). There are many smaller Lutheran church bodies in the United States. The headquarters of the Church are at 0000 West Higgins Road, Chicago IL 00000. Contents 0 Organization and structure 0 Predecessor Churches 0 Presiding Bishops 0 Beliefs and Practice 0.0 Rostered Ministry 0 Ecumenical relations 0 Social issues 0 See also 0 External links Organization and structure The ELCA is headed by a presiding bishop, elected by the Churchwide Assembly for a term of six years. The Churchwide Assembly meets in odd-numbered years and consists of elected lay and ordained voting members. Between meetings of the Churchwide Assembly, the ELCA Church Council governs the Church. Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson was elected in 0000. The Churchwide Assembly is scheduled to meet in Orlando, Florida in August 0000. The Church is divided into one special synod (the Slovak Zion Synod) and 00 regional synods or dioceses in the United States and the Caribbean, each headed by a synodical bishop and council. The ELCA uses the term synod differently than the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod or the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, which are separate denominations. Within the church structure are divisions addressing many programs and ministries. Among these are support for missions, outdoor ministries, campus ministries, social ministries, and education. There are twenty-eight colleges and universities affiliated with the ELCA throughout the United States. See List of ELCA colleges and universities, List of ELCA seminaries, List of ELCA synods. Predecessor Churches The ELCA formally came into existence on January 0, 0000, creating the largest Lutheran church body in the United States. The Church is a result of a merger between the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), The American Lutheran Church (ALC) and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC), all of which had formally agreed in 0000 to unite after several years of discussions. The ELCA's three predecessor churches were themselves the product of previous mergers and splits among various independent Lutheran synods in the United States. The American Lutheran Church In 0000 the American Lutheran Church, the United Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church merged to form The American Lutheran Church. The Lutheran Free Church joined in 0000. The ALC brought approximately 0.00 million members into the ELCA. The Lutheran Church in America In 0000 the United Lutheran Church in America, the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the American Evangelical Lutheran Church formed the Lutheran Church in America. The LCA brought approximately 0.00 million members into the ELCA. The Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches In 0000 the AELC was formed from congregations that left the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod over issues of biblical literacy, academic freedom and ecumenism. Its establishment was precipitated by the Seminex controversy at the LCMS's Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri. The AELC brought approximately 000,000 members into the ELCA. Presiding Bishops Herbert W. Chilstrom 0000-0000 H. George Anderson 0000-0000 Mark S. Hanson 0000- Beliefs and Practice The ELCA is a Christian church body holding to the teachings of Protestant reformer Martin Luther. The ELCA's doctrine is less conservative and its requirements for entry less stringent than those of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) or Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), the second and third largest Lutheran bodies in the United States. Interpretation of Scripture: Generally speaking, ELCA clergy are less likely to take the Bible literally than those in the LCMS or WELS. ELCA seminaries and colleges generally teach a form of historical-critical method of biblical analysis, an approach that, broadly speaking, seeks to understand the scriptures and the process of canon formation with reference to historical and social context. For a brief description, see What is the Bible? (http://www.elca.org/questions/Results.asp?recid=00) on the ELCA website. Sacraments: Like other Lutheran church bodies, the ELCA practices two Sacraments, Communion (or the Eucharist) and Holy Baptism (including infant baptism). The ELCA, along with most other Lutherans, holds to the doctrine of the Real Presence, in other words, the belief that Christ is truly present -- body, soul, humanity and divinity -- in the Sacrament of the Altar through what is sometimes called "consubstantiation." This belief is rejected on the one hand by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, which believe in transubstantiation, and on the other hand by many other Protestant church bodies, which doubt the Real Presence in the elements of communion. Unlike most other American Lutheran church bodies, ELCA congregations practice open communion, inviting all baptized persons to receive communion in their congregations. Ministerial training and ordination: Pastors are trained at one of eight ELCA seminaries located throughout the United States. They generally hold a Bachelors of Arts degree or equivalent, as well as a masters degree in divinity, and are required to learn biblical Hebrew and Greek. Pastors are ordained by bishops under terms of Called to Common Mission, the full-communion agreement between the ELCA and The Episcopal Church which calls for the ELCA to adopt apostolic succession in its ordained ministers. Since the passage of CCM, a small number of pastors have elected for presbyteral ordination rather than episcopal ordination, under a bylaw exception (http://www.elca.org/ecumenical/fullcommunion/episcopal/ccmresources/Ordination_Unusual_policy.pdf) passed by the 0000 Churchwide Assembly. In other words, in certain circumstances it is allowed for a pastor, rather than a bishop, to ordain a pastor in the ELCA, knowing that this particular pastor would not be eligible for service in the Episcopal Church. Worship styles: Worship styles can vary. The ELCA is a liturgical church, and its services would be familiar to a Roman Catholic or Episcopalian. Rostered Ministry As a Lutheran church body, the ELCA professes belief in the "priesthood of all believers", or that all baptized persons are true ministers of the Church. Some people are called to "rostered ministry", or vocations of church leadership and service. After training and certification by local synods these people are "set aside, but not above" through ordination or commissioning/consecration. The ELCA currently has four types of rostered ministery: Pastor A pastor, as explained in the previous section is an ordained minister of "Word and sacrament". Deaconess A deaconess is a lay woman, married or single, who serves the Church in a variety of ways. Traditionally, deaconesses served in the caring professions as nurses, social workers, or teachers. Associate in Ministry An Associate in Ministry serves local congregations, synods or other ministries in a variety of roles as parish administrators, youth ministry leaders, or other positions. Diaconal minister A Diaconal minister is a minister of Word who may serve as a chaplain, youth minister, or in some aspect of social justice or advocacy work. This is the newest category established by the ELCA. A Diaconal minister is similar to the role performed by permanent deacons in the Episcopal Church. The Division for Ministry at the ELCA's headquarters is responsible for the oversight and pastoral care of rostered ministers, in addition to the synodical bishop. Information on the Division's work and the various types of rostered ministry can be found at the Division's webpage (http://www.elca.org/ministry/). Ecumenical relations The ELCA is a member of the National Council of Churches and the World Council of Churches and is a "partner in mission and dialog" with the Churches Uniting in Christ. The Church maintains full communion relationships with the Lutheran World Federation (which includes many automomous national/regional Lutheran church bodies throughout the world), The Episcopal Church, the Moravian Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Reformed Church in America, and the United Church of Christ. The ELCA is set to vote on a provisional agreement with the United Methodist Church called "A Proposal for Interim Eucharistic Sharing", which would be the first step toward reaching full communion with that denomination by 0000. On October 00, 0000 in Augsburg, Germany, the Lutheran World Federation, of which the ELCA is a member, signed the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification with the Roman Catholic Church. The statement is an attempt to narrow the theological divide between the two faiths. The Declaration also states that the mutual condemnations between 00th century Lutherans and the Roman Catholic Church no longer apply. Social issues In general, the ELCA is a moderately liberal body that emphasizes social justice among its core values. However, there is a great deal of diversity of opinion among its constituent congregations, and, thus, the ELCA has been the arena for a number of tussles over social and doctrinal issues during the years since it came into existence in 0000. In part, this is due to the fact that the ELCA assimilated three different Lutheran church bodies, each with its own factions and divisions, thus inheriting old intra-group conflicts while creating new inter-group ones. In general, however, the ELCA has avoided major schisms, partly by engaging in long periods of study and interactive deliberation before adopting new stances. The ELCA's stances on social issues include: Role of women: Unlike most of the other Lutheran denominations in the United States, the ELCA ordains women as pastors, a practice that all three of its predecessor churches adopted in the 0000s. Sexuality: ELCA policy documents state that "marriage is the appropriate context for sexual intercourse." Creationism/evolution: The ELCA has not enforced an official position on on creation or evolution, allowing members to embrace positions ranging from strict creationism to Theistic evolution. Homosexuality: The church has officially welcomed homosexuals within its congregations since 0000. However, its stance and ongoing deliberations on homosexuality have been the subject of sharp clashes. Groups such as Lutherans Concerned/North America are presently advocating for greater strides toward full acceptance and equality for homosexuals, while groups such as Solid Rock Lutherans seek to reverse moves in this direction. The most recent debate centers on whether active homosexuals in stable relationships may be ordained as ministers, and whether ministers may bless same-sex partnerships. In January 0000, an ELCA panel on human sexuality put off a definitive decision by recommending that neither practice be approved, but that the church refrain from disciplining congregations that engage in either practice out of respect for "the deep divisions among us." The panel's report will be considered for adoption by the Churchwide Assembly in August 0000. Abortion: The issue of abortion has also been contentious within the ELCA. The church, in documents approved in 0000, set out its position on the matter as follows. The ELCA describes itself as "a community supportive of life," and encourages women to explore alternatives to abortion such as adoption. However, the church states that there are certain circumstances under which a decision to end a pregnancy can be "morally responsible." These include cases where the pregnancy "presents a clear threat to the physical life of the woman," situations where "the pregnancy occurs when both parties do not participate willingly in sexual intercourse," and "circumstances of extreme fetal abnormality, which will result in severe suffering and very early death of an infant." Regardless of the reason, the ELCA opposes abortion when "a fetus is developed enough to live outside a uterus with the aid of reasonable and necessary technology."

Chapter 000 - Trentheim and the young lord (0) "No, you guessed wrong, Grandmaster Bosley," Brendel said. Mordenkainen closed the door behind him, while the mysterious guest tugged off its robe to revealed a feather dress covering over its wrinkled skin. Tagiv bowed deeply to Brendel. "A Subterrane Dweller?" Bosley was stunned for a moment before he spoke with a shocked voice: "Wait, my lord, do you mean - " His mind spun quickly. Humans would not be able to use the armor at all, but it was a perfect fit for these underground creatures. "When did you enter into an alliance with the Subterrane Dwellers?" "Didn't we fight alongside with them against Lord Macsen a while ago?" "But...... Just, how exactly did......" The old blacksmith was utterly confused. Brendel locked down information concerning Lord Macsen, and the latter's men were either captured or killed in that battle. The information of the Subterrane Dwellers participation in that battle was not revealed. Since Bosley did not care about Brendel's military affairs and put all his efforts into his workshop, he did not know that there was a large army of Subterrane Dwellers under Brendel. "My lord...... powerful." Tagiv maintained its respectful attitude and answered in weak Kirrlutz. "In other words, they have submitted to you?" Bosley turned to Brendel and asked. Brendel nodded. "Marsha above. How many of them submitted to you?" Bosley exclaimed. He stared at Brendel with a shaken expression as the thought of a possibility surfaced. A palm with five fingers was raised: "...... Five hundred?" That was the number of armors that Brendel wanted. Brendel shook his head with a smile. "My, my. Your thoughts are too simple like the others, Grandmaster Bosley. How would it be possible for every member of the Subterrane Dwellers to use this armor? Surely they have the old and young with them. The figure is much higher - " [Even though Tagive is respectful to me, he would never place his whole tribe in my hands.] He eyed Tagiv: "At least three thousand." Bosley stumbled, and hurriedly leaned against the table's corner: "...... I see. It seems that these old bones of mine cannot keep up with you youths any longer." Three thousand. How exactly did the young man in front of him defeat the Subterrane Dwellers? Not to mention getting them to submit. It was no wonder the younger mercenaries idolized him. Bosley originally sneered at them a little, but now it looked like they were not doing it blindly. "I got it. It appears that Lord Palas will be in big trouble." "Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Count Randner is going to be the one behind the next attack. That cunning bastard will be more careful with us because of Lord Macsen's failure." "You mean that Lord Palas will have reinforcements?" "Isn't that a guaranteed thing......?" Bosley rubbed his chin: "So this is why you want to arm the Subterrane Dwellers." "Indeed," Brendel patted the armor and turned towards the Subterrane Dweller, "Tagiv, come over and test this out." "My lord, what is...... this? " Tagiv could not see the armor, but it could hear that the thing Brendel was holding was something metallic. "Wear this and you will know." "But, I'm a...... witch doctor, my lord!" Tagiv's hands went over the armor and exclaimed. "It's fine, I'm just letting you test it out. This is the gift that I'm giving to you. Are you going to refuse it?" "Gift?" Tagiv answered with a pause. "Your tribe isn't particularly strong in the Underworld right?" Tagiv became silent. If they were strong enough, they would not be chased up to the surface. Compared to living on the surface, they would very much prefer to go back where they come from. The numbers of their tribe were considerably big, but they were still unable to find an Underworld Lord to protect them. Rather, they were considered cannon fodder for others. Its ancestors had left the old and weak to its command, and the genuine fighters that it had that were considered strong in the Underworld were few. It nodded. "There's no problem at all. I always tell my subordinates this, if you can't improve your personal skills and techniques, then you can raise the equipment's level that you wear." "Raising the level....... on equipment?" Tagiv repeated this sentence with some doubt. "I intend to send five hundred suits of heavy armor to the Subterrane Dwellers. They are specially designed for your race to wear." Tagiv was evidently surprised by the number as both its hands trembled and rattled the armor. Five hundred suits of armor were also considered an enormous amount of wealth. An Underworld Lord would not spend metal to equip a group of Subterrane Dwellers which were considered as cannon fodder. "But...... the Subterrane Dwellers..... don't wear armor!" [What the hell? What do you mean you don't wear armor! Didn't your future lord and city-invader expert Aila lead all of you wearing these suits of armor as the vanguard? The armor in your hands was designed by your own darn race!] It was indeed the original prototype that Aila designed. It was also ahead of its time by five years. Brendel, unfortunately, did not get the recipes of the future variations. In the end, the youth said a little irritably: "Do you want to be treated as cannon fodder all the time? These suits of armor are specially designed for you and once you wear them, history will be made - " "Hold on!" Bosley suddenly interrupted: "My lord, what exactly did you say? Do you mean that this armor has never existed before?" "Yes?" Bosley looked at the youth in disbelief and appeared to be a little angry: "A new suit of armor that has never been tested or even worn by these damned creatures, and you got me to make two hundred of them!?" It was almost at a bellow at the end of his words. He felt like Brendel was playing a joke on him. Who had done this before in history? A new set of armor that had not even been tested and instead of went into production? Did this idiot lord think that it was a toy? If Brendel was rich enough to rival the entire kingdom's revenue, he could still understand his action as a wasteful noble's behavior, but it was clear that he was just a new lord who had trouble maintaining his own territory. "The amount of metal spent to make these armor is almost all the available metal ores that Firburh has. I even refused to let my workers go out and assist in the city repairs because of this project. Even that little girl Amandina came to grumble about this issue more to me a few times !" The more Bosley thought about it, the angrier he became. When he thought back at that moment when Brendel said he was supporting the princess...... he wanted to smash the armor on his head. If everyone around the princess was the same as this youth, then he suddenly doubted the future of this damned kingdom. [Marsha above. A royal blacksmith getting fooled by an idiot! No, this will not do. If he doesn't give me an explanation, I'll show him my temper. And my temper is very bad!] The old man glared at Brendel. The youth did not change his expression, not even a little, though he was a little surprised at Bosley's anger. However, he could not help but snicker at his last sentence. "Really, Grandmaster Bosley, is there a need to be so angry?" He shook his head. "You can even laugh at this point?! You better give me an explanation, damn it! Otherwise, I'll definitely threaten you!" "What sort of threat?" Brendel's smile was befitting of his age. Innocent and sweet. "I, I'll go a strike!" Bosley stomped his foot. "Okay, yes, please calm down a little. Grandmaster Bosley, you're the head of the royal blacksmiths, can't you tell if this suit of armor works on Tagiv?" "It's exactly because I'm the head blacksmith that I'm telling you this is an irresponsible act!" Bosley roared, but his eyes went to the armor on Tagiv's body. He was quite familiar with the suits of armor because he made them with his own hands. Even with the first glance, he knew that Brendel's design did not have any problems. It only looked like the size was a little too big on the Subterrane Dweller. But Tagiv did mention he was a Witch Doctor, which meant that the warriors of the Subterrane Dwellers would be bigger and stronger in size. The suits of armor should be a good fit for them. If there were Subterrane Dwellers with burlier sizes, he could simply craft a few sets suited for them. Bosley's fury was quickly replaced with surprise. Based on the designs that Brendel gave, it appeared like it had gone through at least several rounds of tests to make sure that the armor fit the Subterrane Dwellers' physiology. Even he would not able to make a suit of armor perfectly for them the first time. Was this youth a genius blacksmith? But he could not believe this notion, and instead asked with a huff: "You're not the one who came up with this thing, right?" Brendel nodded. He was not shameless enough to steal someone else's work: "It's a friend of mine. He had studied the Subterrane Dwellers quite well." Aila somehow became his friend at that moment and it sneezed in the Underworld. "At least that makes more sense. You better stop giving me this kind of surprises in the future. Leave your stunts to people of your age instead. My old heart can't take this sort of torture." Bosley stopped pursuing this issue when Brendel satisfied his suspicions. "Really, you're exaggerating, why would I do this on purpose? You're my greatest asset in this territory." Brendel said with a grin. "I'm just working for you temporarily." The old blacksmith reminded him with a mutter, but Brendel's pandering made him feel pleased. Brendel merely rubbed his forehead at his response: "Well, how about it Tagiv, are you willing to accept this gift?" Tagiv hesitated. Its hands were going through every nook and cranny of the armor as Brendel and Bosley spoke to each other. It had practically confirmed that the armor was indeed made for them. It was quite tempting, but there were no free meals in this world after all. Tagiv finally asked: "What are..... the conditions?" Brendel nodded as he was greatly satisfied with Tagiv's answer. It was obvious that he could not just give away five hundred suits of armor. While they were considered to be allies, this ‘gift' was not really a gift. "The conditions are simple," Brendel said, then went beside Tagiv and whispered into its ears. Tagiv paused momentarily and went into another bout of hesitation, but it finally nodded. "It's a...... deal." Like this: Like Loading...

"fight alongside with them" -> "fight alongside them". "subterrane Dwellers participation" -> "subterrane Dwellers' participation". "number of armors" -> "number of suits of armor". Generally, armor is uncountable. "not even been tested and instead of went into production" -> "not even been tested and went into production instead". "these armor" -> "these suits of armor". "metal ores" -> "metal ore". "thought back at" -> "thought back to". "go a strike" -> "go on strike". "this kind of surprises" -> "this kind of surprise" or "these kinds of surprises". Reply Tin February 00, 0000 @ 0:00 am Grammar suggestion, I suggest referencing the subterraneans as he or she instead of "it" and adjust this sentence, "Aila somehow became his friend at that moment and it sneezed in the Underworld." To Aila somehow became his "friend" and deep in the underworld the subterranean dweller in question suddenly sneezed. Reply CCaprice February 00, 0000 @ 0:00 am Thanks for the chapter.

4,368,755 | My daughter's soccer team was playing in a pre-season tournament in Arlington this weekend. Serendipitously, The Wolves, a Pulitzer-nominated play about a girls' high school travel soccer team, was having its final run this weekend at the Studio Theatre in DC. My sister got tickets for the three of us and we decided to tell my daughter only that she had a surprise in store. I picked her up early from school on Friday to make sure we would beat the traffic and make it to DC on time. As we walked to the car, she asked, "So are you going to tell me now what the surprise is, or are you going to make me wait until we get there to find out?" "You're just going to have to wait till we get there," I said, "But remind me...you've never had an allergic reaction to any anesthetics, right?" She merely smirked and rolled her eyes at my clumsy attempt to throw her off the scent. It took me to Ruckersville to come up with a second gambit: "Hey! You really like organ meat, don't you?" "What's organ meat?" she asked me, not even looking up as she tap tap tapped away on her phone. "You know...like, intestines, brain, heart, liver, kidney...," I said, forcing down the wicked laughter that was bubbling up inside me. "I'd gladly try organ meat," the little saucepot replied serenely, not even glancing up from her phone, "but I haven't yet had the opportunity to eat it." "DAMMIT!" I cursed inwardly, frustrated by the girl's infernal insouciance. I brooded over the problem all the way up Route 00 until we reached Culpeper, when a devious idea began to form in my brain. "You did remember to bring a fancy dress and your nice shoes, right?" I casually asked. My girl whose standard uniform consists of sweatpants and a t-shirt dropped her phone and whipped her head around to look at me with a horrified expression: "Wait, WHAT?!" GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah, sweet victory! "OK, you really got me that time," she said. We collapsed in a paroxysm of laughter, and I could finally relax for the rest of the trip! Our first stop was the W Hotel and the POV rooftop lounge: Virgin Mojito! Everything was delicious, but I'm going to dream about the Buñuelo Fritters for the rest of my life. They tasted like impossibly scrumptious, warm air. The pop up "Museum of Contemporary American Teenagers" at the Studio Theatre The play was amazing! Saturday The tournament didn't begin until the late afternoon, so we had all morning to relax... Grandpa & Grandma tested out the new leg massage contraption their favorite son sent them... Lunch at Rice Paper, Grandma's favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Eden Center in Falls Church: My girl's own cheering squad, including her grandparents, my sister, and my BFF, turned out in the bitter cold to root for her team... BRRRRRRRRRRRRR! The girls advanced to the finals with two wins under their belts. Sunday Because of Daylight Savings, we woke up ten minutes before we had to leave for the first game of the day. We raced out the door with my dad, who decided to play hooky from church to join us on the field. I can't emphasize enough how exceedingly rare and hardly-to-be-believed-bordering-on-miraculous this was. This man skipped church, sat in the freezing cold, and used a porta potty. Now that‘s true love. Good thing they won! Tournament Champs!

Friday Harpy Sister #0 and I picked up Harpy Sister #0 at the train station and headed straight over to crash my book group, where we cackled long into the night. Saturday Harpy #0 signed copies of her book Tiger Pelt at the Charlottesville Book Fair. We are bursting with pride that Tiger Pelt is on the short list for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize! A couple of very special guests made a rare appearance to show their support... They are grinning so hard their faces might crack. Meanwhile in Richmond, my Harpy-in-Training was tearing it up on the soccer field. The first team they played awarded her a special ball at the end of the game: How did you show great sportsmanship? I asked as I inspected her ball. I was saving a ball and I collided really hard into the player who was trying to get it in, so I went over during half time to apologize and to make sure she was ok. And what were your phenomenal saves? Well, I tipped the ball over the crossbars once and everyone was cheering so I guess that was pretty good...Oh yeah, and I saved another ball with my face. All I can remember about that one was that it hurt. I'm rather glad I didn't witness that. Sunday We began the first part of our trip to New Jersey where we'll be spending the week with our family. We are heading out for the next leg of our journey in just a few minutes...

I've been waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night for no good reason at all and have been finding it hard to get back to sleep. When I finally surrender to the day and get out of bed for good, I find I have to unclench my aching jaws. One of the things that was causing me a certain amount of anxiety were the logistics of this past weekend. Two of the three kids had soccer tournaments in two different states. With my husband out of the country, I wasn't quite sure how it was all going to shake out. I ended up taking my daughter to North Carolina and leaving the boys in Virginia so that my oldest son could play his games in Charlottesville, and so that he and his brother could take care of our ever-growing menagerie. At the end of a rainy first day, my goalie ended up looking like this: The next morning we set out for the third game. As we walked toward the field I read a text message announcing that after another night of torrential thunderstorms, the whole tournament would be decided on penalty kicks - five per team. "Do you think that's a joke?" my daughter asked. "I don't think so," I answered. We watched an official attempt to prep the area by the goal. Again and again he pulled at the water with a large broom...a Sisyphean task if ever there was one. A mother of a teammate came up to me and asked if my daughter was nervous. We both glanced over to find her doing a goofy dance with a grin on her face, her arms waving like noodles. "Guess not!" I said. My stomach, on the other hand, was roiling with nerves. And I wasn't the only one who was anxious. The parents formed a tense, fidgety row along the sideline as we watched our girls lining up to take their shots. As my daughter squished her way to the box, you could see water coming out of her cleats, which were already soaking wet after just a few minutes of warm up. She dove for the first ball and landed with an audible splash: Photo by Forever Photography By Elissa She stood up, drenched with dirty rainwater and spitting out mud and bits of grass, but holding the ball she had saved. Our cheers turned into laughter when she turned to look at me and shouted, "THAT WAS NOT WORTH IT!" Eventually, she took the fifth kick for her team. As she stepped up to the line, the referee kindly wiped the mud from her eyes before she took her shot: Here's mud in your eye! She got her ball in, but her team lost the tournament. Was my girl sad? Nah. I wish I could be as wholeheartedly fearless as this girl. I wish I could pick myself up after a fall with a rueful smile and a quip. I wish I could wring humor out of the most miserable of situations...When I grow up, my goal is to be just like my #0 goalie.

She soon began ordering her older sibling brothers to sit in the cart so that she could push them around...literally and figuratively. "Sit DOWN," she'd shout in an imperious manner. The boys would meekly rush to obey her orders. Sometimes they would misunderstand her directives and the wrong person would sit down. "NO!" she'd shout and point her finger at the designated boy, who would then scurry to take the place of the other. Once when she was still a toddler, I was musing with my middle child about what he thought his little sister would be when she grew up. "Oh, that's easy! She'll be a boss," he said with no hesitation. "A boss? A boss of what?" I asked. "It doesn't matter. A boss of anything. She'll be really good at it." I spent the weekend in Richmond with the boss of our family for her team's first soccer tournament of the year: the Ultimate Cup Girls Weekend. When we got to the hotel she read me the riot act when I tried to send some text messages. "We have to be up at 0:00! It's time to go to bed!" Rallying the troops. Between games we had a photo shoot-out... The third game of the final went into an actual penalty shoot-out! Ready for business. Come at me. After the opposing team's first shot, she got to take the first penalty kick for her team. During the car ride home, she told me: "I had to argue with the ref before she'd let me shoot. She kept yelling at me to get back next to the goal to wait for my turn to defend again. I kept explaining to her I'm taking the shot! I'm taking the shot! but she kept yelling at me to get back." Nobody puts baby in the corner. She got her shot in and then got back to the business of defending her goal. They won their game, but I think the stress probably took years off my life. The girls lost the championship game, but they went home smiling anyway. Our household is a benevolent dictatorship. And we like it that way.

He got to spend some time with our niece at her new school and he's been able to check in on his parents in England. He's also carved out a little time to do some hiking. It seems like he's been gone for an eternity, a feeling that is only exacerbated when he texts me photos like these: ...complete with breathless, rapturous captions about the wondrous beauty he is experiencing. We're having much smaller-scale adventures at home. For example, on Friday my daughter spotted this in our backyard: We think that rather fearsome bird perched on the run-in shed is a Red-tailed Hawk. I had never fully appreciated what the phrase "sitting duck" meant until recently. My daughter did not at all appreciate my observation that this would make Reason #000 for not getting the pet ducks she's been pining for... On Saturday I made shakshuka for the first time, which - miracle of miracles - everyone liked: Oh, shakshuka, where have you been all my life?! I adapted this New York Times recipe for the dish, substituting in ingredients we happened to have. (Sautée an onion, a bell pepper, and a few cloves of garlic. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Add a carton of diced plum tomatoes and stir until sauce thickens. Stir in about a cup of crumbled feta or goat cheese. [I used a little of both]. Crack eggs over the mixture and bake in 000 degree oven for about ten minutes). The kids ate it all up with slices of buttery toasted sourdough bread. On Sunday morning I picked up my daughter from a sleepover and we headed out to the field for her brother's game. His team won by a large margin, but in the final moments they failed spectacularly at one attempt to get the ball into the net. A player kicked it from only about a foot away, but instead of going in, the ball got a little too much loft and improbably landed on top of the net. "How in the world did they not get that into the net?" my daughter spluttered, clutching her head in disbelief, "Grandma could have gotten it in!" "Grandma's Grandma could have gotten the ball in! I mean..." She plumbed the depths of her wildest imagination to come up with an even more preposterous scenario: "I mean...YOU could have gotten it in." Tears of remorse sprung to her eyes as soon she saw the shocked expression on my face. Of course, they immediately turned into tiny little icicles... Brrrrrr, that was cold, little Ice Queen, but I still love you anyway. I'll probably forgive Mr. Scotland too one day...

My oldest and youngest were playing in a soccer tournament this weekend in Lynchburg, which is about an hour and twenty minute drive from where we live. Getting up at the crack of dawn to drive to Lynchburg brought back a lot of memories. I used to teach Russian language and literature at what is now Randolph College, but back then was Randolph-Macon Woman's College. I think I owe my life to audio-books, which kept me awake during the interminable drives back and forth. During the years I worked there, I had a constant eye twitch from fatigue that only went away when I stopped commuting. When I was pregnant with my first child, I would get so tired on the way back home, I would have to pull over at the Nelson County Wayside to have a fifteen minute cat nap before driving the rest of the way home... My son's first game was at 0 am, and he was supposed to be on the field by 0 am for warm up. Fortunately for their personal chauffeur and cheerleader, my children were playing at fields that were only a five minute drive away from each other. Surveying the field... We spotted this car on our way to dinner at the Depot Grille: Sunday Another early start: My daughter gave me a makeover while we were waiting for her brother's game to start: Before After Both kids' teams were knocked out, so they only played one game on Sunday. We went to lunch at the Liberty Korean Market and Restaurant, which is run by the parents of an alumna of the university where I now work: My daughter declared their bulgogi the best she'd ever had! After our huge Korean lunch, I found myself slipping into food coma on the way back home. Fortunately, the good old Nelson County Wayside was still there: I closed my eyes for a few minutes to rest, with my son sitting in the passenger seat next to me. I thought about the last time I was here with him. Now he's a strapping 0 foot 0 inch sixteen year old, but back then, he was just a little dream floating around inside me...

Beta Bridge today... A brand new mural on the Corner, inspired by Rita Dove's poem "Testimonial": We wandered around town for three hours this evening waiting for one kid or the other to be finished with soccer...In one of the two grocery stores we visited to kill time, we were in the checkout line when I heard my daughter ask, "Can we get this?" Without even looking, I reflexively said, "No" as I always do. But when I turned around and spotted what she had in her hand, I said: "I mean, YES!" They could have tasted like dirt, and we still would have had to buy these: And even though the only banana-flavored things I usually like are actual bananas, these tictacs are weirdly delicious!

My daughter's soccer team wasn't participating in the two-day Tournament, but she and her friend were guest players for another team. Later that evening it was time for my son's piano recital: I sang with him on his second piece - Georgia on My Mind. Sunday We discovered that our pups were in our local weekly paper! The C'ville Weekly My industrious dogs never take a break from their labors...Here they are demonstrating their foot warming skills: Hardest working dogs on the face of the planet. Back to business!

The kids have bonded over their shared love of the sport... I've loved watching them play together any chance they could get. It was especially entertaining to watch them play soccer in the driveway of our old house, which, like so many homes in Charlottesville, sits on a sloped lot. They developed some mad skills as they attempted to shoot goals into a net perched at the top of our steep driveway. For years the kids have been cheering each other on from the sidelines, analyzing each other's plays and offering up post-game commentary... They've warmed each other up before games and during half times... They've congratulated each other on games won, and commiserated with each other over games lost... We're down to two players now. After many years of playing... ...the 00 year old officially announced his retirement at the end of the season last year. This season, my oldest son has been getting in his required service hours for high school by helping out with his little sister's team: On Saturday her team lost their first game in two seasons. It was a miserably cold and rainy morning. By the end of the game, my daughter was a sopping wet, muddy mess. We were all chilled to the bone after standing out in the rain for over an hour. | https://owonderfulwonderful.com/tag/soccer/ | owonderfulwonderful.com | 430 | 6 | [

4,418,755 | In this episode, we headed over to Lebanon and had a closer look at the issues the country is experiencing with ensuring accountability. To help us, we enlisted Olga Kavran, former head of outreach at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, and Aya Majzoub from Human Rights Watch. The STL's only trial, regarding the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri in 0000, unsatisfactorily produced only one guilty verdict for a Hezbollah member. Just a few days after we recorded this episode, the Tribunal announced that it is being forced to shut shop due to an insurmountable financial crisis and that thus it will not be able to embark in what would have been its second case, about three car bombings in 0000 and 0000. But Lebanon's problems with accountability don't end with the STL; the search for justice for the Beirut harbour explosion of 0000 is proving to be quite troublesome as well. In this context, can anything change for the better in Lebanon to make accountability possible? If you're interested in the issues around trials in absentia, check our our previous podcast too. Both our guest are (unsurprisingly) very fond of Lebanon-focused podcasts. Olga enjoys The Beirut Banyan by Ronnie Chatah and The Lebanese Politics Podcast, hosted by Benjamin Redd, Nizar Hassan and Timour Azhari; Aya also suggests having a listen to the Sarde After Dinner Podcast, by Médéa Azouri and Mouin Jaber. In addition, Olga is escaping her PhD reads by listening to the Fake Law audiobook, by the mysterious The Secret Barrister, and Aya is reading Black Wave, by Kim Ghattas. | https://www.asymmetricalhaircuts.com/episodes/episode-44-lebanon-accountability-with-olga-kavran-and-aya-majzoub/ | www.asymmetricalhaircuts.com | 415.3 | 0 | [] | null | [] |
4,428,755 | Regardless of whether you've been involved with home based business for several years, you can still learn things which will increase your efficiency. These guidelines contain useful advice, including things you may never have thought of. If you can't decide what your home-based business should sell, shop around your home for inspiration in a void that really needs filling or a product you can't do without. Identifying a necessity is the initial step to deciding on a successful product. The greater the chance that you may make use of an item or service, the higher the chance others can use that item or service too. A workplace is a vital component of any home-based business. Use a small space if you'd like. Just be certain it's someplace you would like to go. Your working environment must be somewhere you are feeling productive, calm and inspired. It doesn't matter what size it is actually, that you can do well in any space with all the right planning. Produce a banner page for your personal web site great video to watch This kind of page will provide you with the chance to swap banner links and similar advertisements with affiliated websites. This should help you with rankings and make certain customers can discover you. All businesses should start with a decent business strategy. It's likely that you'll make alterations to this particular plan over the years, and you may wind up throwing it all out completely. However, a highly-written business strategy offers valuable guidance and creates feelings of purpose and direction for your personal business. Be sure your business plan depends on date. Make sure your financial records are complete and accurate. You should be capable of make up every penny, and also justify deductions, with valid proof in the event that the IRS ever approaches your company for review. Good records also let you record your business and just how well it is actually doing from month to month. When you are starting a home business this coming year, your business will need to have a highly effective site to further your marketing goals. There are a variety of free ways that you can make the business more visible, including marketing with articles, blogging and social media. Every one of these methods will increase both your traffic plus your profit margin. Coordinate the schedule of your residence business operations in order to avoid interfering with family activities and functioning. In case your business interacts an excessive amount of with family life, develop a different home based business idea. Starting a residence-based business isn't as hard as it sounds. There are lots of simple business models you are able to choose from that could help you save tons of overhead on office locations or storefronts. Think about products you wish to see available within your area. Consider exactly what it would entail to get started on that type of business in your town. Thinking differently is vital to business, so finding strategies to the questions you may possibly not have known you needed can spur a great journey. If you're ready for the unexpected, you'll never have to face a hardship that you simply can't handle. Carry on and learn, and be sure your business grows together with your knowledge..

However, i thought it might be useful to try to prepare at least a starting point for configuring the camera for underwater use. This is a work in progress; comments & criticism most welcome. SETTINGS General: Setup Menu Rec View -> 0sec This allows the image to be seen through the viewfinder for 0 seconds after it is taken. However, if action is really fast, you won't want to wait for 0 seconds before you see the live action again, so all you have to do is half depress the shutter to cancel the view of the image you just shot. The information presented along with the review image is the same as the current playback (LCD review) mode (press the blue arrow button and then press INFO until you see the info you want to see after pressing the shutter.) Custom Menu A. AF/MF AF Illuminat. -> Off Turning on the red AF light on the camera body isn't going to help you focus underwater when the camera is in a housing, so best to turn it off. Reset Lens -> Off Set to Off to prevent the camera from reseting the focus on you. [*]D. Disp / ))) / PC Control Settings -> P/A/S/M Live Control -> Off Live SCP -> On Turning Live Control off and Live SCP panel on ensures that you can gain access to the Super Control Panel by just pressing the OK button. If you enable both then you'll either enter Live Control or SCP when you press the OK button (and need to press INFO to switch between them), but both control systems provide similar functionality so you don't need both and SCP is just easier to use. If you plan to use iAUTO mode underwater, you should do the same for iAUTO mode. Info Settings -> LV-Info Histogram -> Off Highlight&Shadow -> On Level Guage -> Off Image Only -> Off When looking through the viewfinder you can change the infomation presented to you by pressing the INFO button. By reducing the number of options, you'll spend less time messing about. Here we enable highlight and shadow clipping indicators, which allows excellent control over exposure (turn the shutter speed until highlight clipping can be seen, then turn in back slightly.) Histogram Settings Highlight -> 000 Shadow -> 0 These settings control when the highlight clipping and shadow clipping indicators come into play. By decreasing the indicators one can make more use of the excellent dynamic range of this camera and more easily avoid unwanted highlight cliping in scenes with very high dynamic range (where both shadow clipping and highlight clipping indicators are visible.) Note that Adobe Lightroom 0.0 provides excellent shadow and highlight recovery from RAW images that is simply not accessible in most other software packages. Others recommend 000 and 0, which may be safer. Live View Boost -> On Turn this On to prevent the EVF from showing the effects of under/over exposure of the available light. Info Off -> Hold This simply ensures that the information about various settings is always shown in the viewfinder, otherwise it disappears after the time (in seconds) set. [*]J. Built-In EVF EVF Auto Switch -> Off Above water this allows the proximity detector to switch the live view from the back LCD to the EVF when your eye is up to the EVF. In a housing this will not work. Underwater, you can switch manually using the viewfinder lever on the housing, if needed. Frame Rate -> Normal You need to set this to High for shooting birds in flight, but underwater the Normal frame rate is much faster than will ever be needed. When you set the frame rate to High you reduce the ability of the camera to accurately display highlight and shadow warnings; for this reason you don't want to use High unless it's absolutely essential. Shooting Menu 0 <| -> Still Picture -> RAW You must shoot RAW to get the full image detail and dynamic range this camera offers. Flash: Shooting Menu 0 RC Mode -> Off RC Mode works only with modern Olympus flashes and sends control signals via flash pulses to control the relative outputs of external flashes. Unless you are using an Olympus flash underwater, turning on RC Mode will increase shutter lag, decrease camera battery life, and limit sync speed to 0/000 of a second*. [*]Custom Menu F. [Flash] Custom X-Sync -> 0/000 Ensures you can shoot with external strobes up to 0/000 of a second. Slow Limit -> 0/00 Lowest shutter speed the camera will use in A, P, and Auto ISO modes. Button Settings: Custom Menu B. Button/Dial Button Function Fn0 Function -> MF Allows switching between AF-ON focus and shutter button focus modes. See Underwater Operation below. This is not essential as changing the focus mode can be done easily though the SCP. Feel free to map this to some other function you might use more frequently. Fn0 Function -> Magnify Quick access to the magnify function which isn't used for magnify but rather is used to gain access to a small focus point. Tap once to bring up the autofocus point, hold the button down for 0.0 seconds to cancel this mode. Taping the button a second time will actually magnify the image; do this and then turn the dial until you see 00x; tap again to return to your autofocus point. Now the autofocus point will be very small which allows for better focus point selection. You only ever need to do this magnify and set to 00x once, the camera will remember your choice. [Rec] Function -> AEL/AFL Allows the record button (thumb lever on the Nauticam housing) (instead of a shutter half-press) to be used for focus, when using AF-ON (mode0) focus (see Focus Strategies Below). [>] Function -> ISO Provides direct access to changing ISO by pressing the right arrow key. [v] Function -> Flash Mode Direct access to flash mode by pressing the down arrow key. Could be assigned to some other function. [<^v>] Function -> Direct Function Focus Settings: The purpose of this is to allow for quick, efficient switching of focus modes even while underwater. With just a single button press one can choose between auto focus and AF-ON (focus on record button press / thumb lever on Nauticam housing). Custom Menu A. AF/MF AF Mode -> MF or S-AF Use MF if you want to focus using the record button (thumb lever on Nauticam housing), S-AF if you want to focus on half-press of shutter. Whatever you chose, you can easily change this via the SCP underwater. Full-time AF -> Off You don't want this on for any focus mode. AEL/AFL S-AF -> mode0 When S-AF is the focus mode chosen in the SCP, then focus will be on half press of shutter button. C-AF -> mode0 When C-AF is the focus mode chosen in the SCP, then focus will be manual with continuous autofocus available by holding down the record button (thumb lever on Nauticam housing). Note that you generally will want to continue holding the record button/thumb lever in while pressing the shutter in continuous focus mode to ensure focus during the exposure. MF -> mode0 When MF is the focus mode chosen in the SCP, then focus will be manual with autofocus available by pressing the record button/thumb lever. [*]Face Priority -> Off Prevents the camera from taking control of focus to focus on things which only remotely resemble faces. [*]C. Release/[[[]]] Rls Priority S -> On This ensures that images can still be taken if focus was not achieved in S-AF mode. Rls Priority C -> Off This ensures that images are not taken unless focus was achieved in C-AF mode. Note that this only applies if you are holding down the record button/thumb lever; if you have released the record button/thumb lever, you'll still be able to take images without focus lock. Half Way Rls With IS -> On This allows image stabilisation to start when the shutter is released half way and thus provides an image stabilised EVF when the shutter is pressed half way. Flash Mode: Manual: Has the advantage of longer camera battery life, no shutter lag and minimal recycle time. Press OK to see the SCP, select flash with the arrow keys, press OK and use the arrow keys or dial to select "Manual Value", press OK. Back at the SCP, just underneath the flash mode is the manual flash power, select this and choose 0/00 (the minimum). TTL: Press OK to see the SCP, select flash with the arrow keys, press OK and use the arrow keys or dial to select "Fill In", and press OK. UNDERWATER USE With the settings above, you'll never have to use the menu system to change settings underwater. You'll be able to get to everything directly through buttons on the back or through the SCP which can all be done with your eye on the viewfinder. Focus Mode: Press OK to bring up the SCP. You can now switch between MF, S-AF, and C-AF. In single autofocus (S-AF) mode, half pressing (or fully pressing) the shutter will focus. In manual focus (MF) mode, pressing the record button (thumb lever on Nauticam housing) will trigger the auto focus. If you have a manual focus gear, you can focus simply by turning the focus knob in this mode. In continuous autofocus mode (C-AF), you'll need to hold down the record button (thumb lever on Nauticam housing) to continuously focus on a (typically) moving object. Keep the record button held down while pressing the shutter to ensure the photo is taken while focus is locked. Pressing F0 will switch instantly between MF and S-AF or C-AF (whichever of the later 0 was last used). Improving Focus Point Selection: You can obtain a smaller focus point to more accurately target what you want in focus using the magnify mode. Tap the F0 Button to switch into Magnify mode. In this mode a single focus point is shown. If this is the first time you've done this, then tap the F0 button again to magnify the image (you will not normally ever enter magnify mode underwater), turn the dial until you see 00x. Now tap the F0 button a third time. You'll return to the single focus point mode, but now the focus point will be small. You can move this focus point around using the arrow keys (note that the magnify focus point is independent of the main focus point(s) position.) To cancel the magnify focus point, hold the F0 button down for 0.0 seconds or longer. Changing ISO: Just press the right arrow key, then use the arrow keys (or dial) to select the ISO and press OK. Getting the correct exposure: Shooting wide angle, we often want to use the longest exposure that doesn't blow out the highlights. The advantage of the EVF is that we can see, before we take the image, whether we are going to blow the highlights. We enabled shadow & highlight mode (pressing INFO will still toggle our highlights&shadows on/off), so now we just increase the exposure until the highlights start getting coloured orange, then back off slightly until the orange goes away. When shooting directly into the sun, the sun will always be orange no matter what settings we choose, but we can limit the amount of water around the sun that's blown out. And, given the settings we've used, you'll also see the highlights and shadow warnings shown after the image is taken. Advanced users may wish to consider using UniWB to improve the accuracy of this method (see http://forums.dprevi...s/post/00000000 .) It's also worth considering setting up the LCD playback (blue arrow button) to show shadow&highlight, when this is done, the image review in the EVF will also show shadow&highlight clipping blinkies, which is useful for ensuring the strobes didn't cause blown highlights.

I already tried your AF-On on the record button solution, which I liked. Used it with AF-S, which I think is better than AF-C on the OM-D. Going to try the magnify trick for a small AF point on my next macro dive. Its a big post - so I might have missed things. Here are some things I would add or do different: A. Reset lens - Off. Camera doesn't reset focus on you! Grrrr, what a dumb feature in the first place - I was so happy to be able to turn this off). Also face detection off (obviously). C. I have my release priority ON - as there I times I can see a photo is in focus and the camera cannot confirm - so won't fire. Or when I have gone slightly closer than minimum focus with the 0mm. D. Live View Boost On F. Slow limit, mine is currently 0/00th. Not a biggy, not relevant for shooting manual. Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites coroander 00 coroander 00 Wolf Eel Member 00 000 posts Gender:Male Posted November 00, 0000 Thanks Alex. I'll make these changes. The big difference in this configuration for focus is that i've moved AF-ON onto MF mode (which operates exactly the same as when it's on S-AF mode), and left the normal shutter half-press focus on S-AF mode. This doesn't seem to have any downside, allows for both C-AF and S-AF AF-ON modes (easy switch via the SCP), still allows for complete manual focus if one desires/has this capability, plus it allows quick switching from AF-ON to shutter-press autofocus (just switch between MF and S-AF modes via the SCP or just a press of the MF button).

Flash: Shooting Menu 0 RC Mode -> Off, unless you have a compatible RC capable Olympus UFL-0 or housed Metz/Olympus land flash. RC Mode works only with RC mode flashes and sends control signals via flash pulses to control the relative outputs of external strobe channels. Unless you are using an RC flash underwater it won't work meaningfully! Using RC flashes you can run upto 0/0000th - but that's not useful very often! Weirdly I found turning on UW Mode (so the clip on flash will fire in the Oly housing in my case) appeared to limit sync speed to 0/000 of a second (from the selected 0/000th) for slave or S-TTL mastering - maybe I had another interlocked setting engaged or had an old firmware version. Not an issue for Nauticam guys :-) Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites conchyjoe 0 conchyjoe 0 Triggerfish Member 0 00 posts Gender:Male Location:South Sound, Grand Cayman Posted November 00, 0000 Alex, Thanks so much for this info.

Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites claud0000 0 claud0000 0 Sea Wasp Member 0 0 posts Posted November 00, 0000 Thanks for the excellent suggestions. I have a couple questions/thoughts. Apologies for the long post, I'm doing research into what to buy for my next trip. First, I have to plead a bit of ignorance. I've only snorkeled, but my next trip to the Hawaiian islands I plan to get certified and go diving. I have used GoPro cameras but after struggling with their awful firmware I've sold them and plan to buy into a more professional camera setup. I have a lot of experience with m00 cameras (although nowadays I mostly shoot with my NEX-0) and I have focused on "fast" lenses (Panasonic 00mm, Voigtlander 00 & 00.0mm, etc.) I am thinking that fast lenses would be really fun to shoot with using available light, or at least would allow me to shoot with less lighting than I usually see folks attach to their underwater case. But the focus of cases seems to be on kit zoom lenses and possibly wide-angle zooms. Question 0: Are there any cases/ports that support the E-M0 with the Panasonic 00mm pancake? (Or another m00 body with the Pana 00mm? Seems that there are very few cases for Panasonic bodies.) I suspect I'd be disappointed with a standard zoom, I've been spoiled by < f/0 shooting for so long. Any other lenses that work really well that might be worth buying into? (Some of the other Olympus primes are well-regarded and bright.) Question 0: Do you find you shoot mostly with the EVF or the display or split your time between them? (I have a G0 and have held off on going to an E-M0 but am also considering Olympus' rangefinder bodies too.) Question 0: Are there any ports available that support manual focus and manual aperture? I am guessing I could use one that has a zoom ring and leave the aperture wide open (but f/0.00 is an awfully shallow DoF. Am I insane in thinking of manual focus shooting underwater? (Here's hoping Olympus has focus peaking in their next firmware!) Question 0: Is shallow depth of field a big problem? Certainly in snorkeling I'm bouncing around a lot but in what I know, I'd be able to hold the camera steady when diving. Question 0: I have seen filters built to compensate for underwater lighting conditions...But seems to me this could be accomplished in post-processing. Do folks have tips on white balance or post-processing to color correct?

I am not going to comment on the questions as others may be more knowledgable to answer. Still one suggestion from my perspective: If you are not even certified yet, it's IMO a good idea NOT to bring a heavy, expensive camera setup for your fist dives but to concentrate on developing the knowledge and skills required to savely enjoy the new enviroment without harming yourself or the enviroment. I often see newly certified divers with big cameras, who can barley hold position in the water column (which is perfectly normal for beginners), who constantly crash into the corals in pursuit of the one great shot. It's aweful! Of course, it is you who decides on this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites davelew 0 davelew 0 Wolf Eel Member 0 000 posts Location:Massachusetts Posted November 00, 0000 (edited) Thanks for the excellent suggestions. I have a couple questions/thoughts. Apologies for the long post, I'm doing research into what to buy for my next trip. First, I have to plead a bit of ignorance. I've only snorkeled, but my next trip to the Hawaiian islands I plan to get certified and go diving. I'll repeat what MarkHerm said. Photography is an advanced diving skill, not something that most new divers can do safely or easily. Question 0: I have seen filters built to compensate for underwater lighting conditions...But seems to me this could be accomplished in post-processing. Do folks have tips on white balance or post-processing to color correct? The problem with fixing white balance in post-processing is that most cameras don't allow you to set the ISO to one value for red pixels and to another value for blue or green pixels. Water filters out most red light in a couple feet, so an exposure for proper reds is going to completely overexpose the greens and blues, while a proper exposure for blue is going to underexpose the reds. The E-M0 has a great dynamic range for such a small sensor, but most natural light seen when diving has hundreds of times more blue light than red light, and the E-M0 can't compensate for that (no camera can, to my knowledge). Unfortunately, the human brain is wired to respond to reds, and most of the best underwater photos have red in them. Needing red in photos and not having much red light underwater is one of the big challenges of underwater photography. There are four main ways of dealing with this problem: 0. Bring your own light in the form of underwater strobes. Inon and Ikelite are two popular brands. Alex Mustard has done some work which, I believe, shows that Inons are slightly better for cold water and Ikelites are slightly better for warm water, but both are excellent choices. The main drawback to using strobes is the short range of strobes underwater, but since the water column degrades image quality, you generally need to get close to your subject anyway for a good photo, so this isn't much of a drawback. 0. Put a red filter on your camera. This cuts down on the green and blue light, letting proportionally more red light in, at the cost of reducing the total amount of light, which means higher ISOs (with more noise), slower shutter speeds (with more motion blur) or wider apertures (loss of sharpness and DOF) are required. Since this balances the red, green, and blue channels of the camera before the signals go the A0D converter, it gives pretty good quality as long as the photo is properly exposed to start with. 0. Using the white balance option on your camera. Some people will bring a white slate or wear white fins, and take a photo of the white reference underwater to set the white of the camera. This tends to cause problems with the red in photos. Think of a camera that normally assigns a value of 0 to 000 for the redness of every pixel. Now imagine that all the reds are 0 to 0, so the camera multiplies each red value by 000 to get the full range, but it ends up only having 00 shades of red instead of 0,000, so the reds end up looking really weird and banded, not smoothly varied like the other colors that use the full of numbers from 0 to 000. 0. White balance in post-processing. This is about the same as #0, with the same drawbacks. It helps to shoot RAW in order to do this, since JPEGs lose some of the image information. In practice, most photographers use a combination of #0 and #0. Many photographers have dual strobe setups, with two strobes on arms in order to get the distribution of light they want.

Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites RogerC 0 RogerC 0 Sting Ray Member 0 000 posts Gender:Male Location:Los Angeles, California Posted November 00, 0000 Hi, First, I just want to mention that the gopro 0 is far ahead of the 0 on firmware. Much easier to use, much easier (automatic) to update. And the wifi back and iphone software are even better, a total must have. Every camera should have that power, it's amazing. a full interface for your camera including live view on your iphone or iPad! The gopro0 should be even better. to your questions: 0-don't know. 0- I split, but I like viewfinders, I'm old. 0-don't know. 0-yes. it's pretty easy to get moved by surge, and going for more DoF and smaller aperture gets you into diffraction problems. The DoF on the small oly 0/0 sensor is a little too short for my taste. Just my opinion. 0-filters are better than post processing. You have too much blue light coming in, you need to knock that down so the blue and red are more balanced and the limited dynamic range of your sensor can take a decent photo. Might be darker, but it's balanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites coroander 00 coroander 00 Wolf Eel Member 00 000 posts Gender:Male Posted November 00, 0000 (edited) Live View Boost -> Off (wide-angle) On (macro) Turn this On to prevent the EVF from showing the effects of under/over exposure of the available light. Turning this on will also prevent the EVF from displaying highlight an shadow clipping accurately, and so this should generally remain Off for wide-angle or available light photography, but may be turned on for most macro photography (when strobes are being used).

This allows me to see a large histogram of the final image to ensure that the exposure was optimal. Note that it might be necessary to enable the histogram in Custom Menu -> D.

It's worth saving the above settings in a "MySet" for UW stills photography, before setting the camera up for video. Before saving it's a good idea to set the default ISO, shutter speed and aperture you want the camera to go back to when restoring from Myset. To save under Myset0: Shooting Menu 0 -> Reset/Myset -> scroll down to Myset0, press right arrow -> OK. N.B.: the only difference between saving and restoring is the "press right arrow" used during save and not restore. SETTINGS Turn the Mode dial to [VIDEO] before making these changes. General: Shooting Menu 0 Picture Mode-> Custom Picture Mode -> Natural Contrast -> +0 Sharpness -> +0 Saturation -> +0 Gradation -> AUTO Personal preference for shooting video. Others may prefer Vivid. Bumping up the Saturation seems necessary to get good colour, some may prefer +0. AUTO Gradation is very important for helping to map the 00+ stops of dynamic range in the sensor to the 0 bit video, but it's only part of the solution. [*]<| -> Movie-> MOVIE FullHD [F] Highest quality HD video. Shooting Menu 0 Image Stabilizer > I.S. 0 Provides horizontally and vertically stabilized video. Custom Menu A. AF/MF AF Mode. -> Movie -> MF or C-AF Using manual focus provides the best control over focus during video, but continuous autofocus has it's advantages and provides smoother focus transitions. [*]D. Disp / ))) / PC Info Settings -> LV-Info Histogram -> On Highlight&amp;amp;amp;amp;Shadow -> Off Level Guage -> Off Image Only -> Off When looking through the viewfinder we will be able to see a histogram that will allow us to adjust exposure and tone curves appropriately. Highlight&amp;amp;amp;amp;Shadow is not an available option when shooting video. Histogram Settings Highlight -> 000 Shadow -> 0 We set the histogram settings a bit more conservatively for video given that we can't shoot raw video. [*]I. Movie [MOVIE] Mode. -> M or S Use Manual exposure mode or Shutter priority mode. Button Settings: Custom Menu B. Button/Dial Button Function Fn0 Function -> AF Area Select Allows the Fn0 button to select which AF point(s) are to be used. Fn0 Function -> Multi Function We use Multi Function because it is the only way to access the tone curve adjustment directly. To get Fn0 into tone curve adjustment mode after these settings are complete, hold down Fn0, then turn the dial until Highlight&amp;amp;amp;amp;Shadow Control is selected. Pressing Fn0 will now always bring up the tone curve, which can be adjusted using the 0 dials or the 0 arrow keys. [Rec] Function -> Off Turning this button Off means that it will function as the autofocus button. Hold the [Rec] button down (thumb level on the Nauticam housing) until focus is achieved. N.B. just a quick depress of this button will not lock focus, it must be held down until focus is achieved. If the focus mode is C-AF+TR, then pressing this button will aquire a tracking target at the autofocus point. [>] Function -> ISO Provides direct access to changing ISO by pressing the right arrow key. ISO is limited to between 000 and 0000 for video. [v] Function -> WB Direct access to WB. It is important to get the white balance correct as PP fixes will degrade image quality. Use Underwater, AUTO white balance with a Magic Filter, or a captured WB. UNDERWATER USE To record video, turn the mode dial to [VIDEO], then press the shutter release to start / stop recording. Note that in some focus modes, recording will not start unless you continue holding the shutter release down until focus has locked. Getting the correct white balance: We need to get the white balance correct at the time of recording. While it is possible to adjust this during editing, it will degrade the video quality if significant adjustments must be made. Pressing the down arrow key will bring up the white balance selection. One option is to select Underwater. Another option is to use a Magic Filter and simply use AUTO. A third option is to set a custom white balance for the depth you are at and the distance you are shooting using a white slate. To set a custom white balance in video mode is a bit complicated. You have to first switch the Mode dial to M(anual), press OK to get to the SCP, select the WB, press OK, select Capture WB 0 or 0 and press INFO (not OK), point the camera at a white or grey slate, press the shutter, select YES and press OK to set the WB, then switch the mode dial back to [VIDEO]. Getting the correct shutter speed and exposure mode: There are two useful modes for video, M (manual) and S (shutter speed priority). In both cases, the recommended shutter speed is twice the frame rate, or 0/00 of a second. This provides the most natural looking video. Slowing the shutter speed results in a more dreamy, soft video and increasing the shutter speed lends itself to a crisper, stobing video when there is movement. In Shutter priority mode, shutter speed is fixed, but ISO and aperture will be varied, in Manual you must control aperture, ISO and shutter speed. You can change exposure mode by bringing up the Live Control Panel (by pressing OK). Note that in M mode, exposure adjustments are not possible during recording. Getting the correct exposure: Video demands that we get the exposure, contrast, and level adjustments correct at the time of recording. We can't shoot raw, 00-bit video on our stills cameras (yet) and leave these details for the editing room. Fortunately the E-M0 has several features to assist us. Pressing INFO will turn on (or turn off) the histogram, you can adjust the ISO and exposure settings to acheive optimal exposure, avoiding the orange overexposure or blue underexposure bars. The green section of the histogram shows the exposure at the focus point; a sort of spot histogram that can be useful in some situations. Pressing the Fn0 button will bring up the tone curve adjustments. You can use the dials or arrow keys to adjust the curve. The curves allow adjustments for optimal recording in high dynamic range situations such as inside caverns, to low contrast situations like large pelagics in the blue at depth. You can see the affect of the adjustments in the live viewfinder. While adjusting the tone curves you can still see the live histogram and you may need to make additional exposure adjustments to compensate for extensive curve adjustments. Getting control of focus: Pressing OK will bring up the Live Control Panel (LCP), the arrow keys (or dials) will allow you to move through the menus easily. You can quickly change focus modes using the LCP. S-AF, MF, and S-AF+MF all focus in the same manner. Focus is achieved by holding the [REC] button (thumb lever on Nauticam housing) down. This is a fast (and consequenly rather bouncy) focus, so altering focus during recording is not ideal. The button must be held down until focus is achieved, releasing the button early will stop the autofocus in some more-or-less random place. C-AF is continuous auto focus. Pointing the focus point at whatever object you want in focus, the focus is slow, smooth and deliberate and is ideal for focusing during recording. C-AF+TR is continuous auto focus with tracking. The tracking will often lose whatever it is you want to track, but putting the original focus point back on the subject and pressing the [REC] button will reaquire the target. Digital Tele-converter: Using the 0mm fisheye or other wide-angle prime or even for macro video it can be beneficial to have a narrower angle of view. The Digital Tele-converter can be found in Shooting Menu 0, and enabling it gives a 0x zoom with no loss in video quality. Saving the video settings under Myset: It's worth saving the video settings in a "MySet" now that the changes have been made. Do set shutter speed to 0/00 first so that it defaults to a reasonable value when restoring from these settings. You'll also have to switch the Mode dial to M to use "MySet". To save under Myset0: Shooting Menu 0 -> Reset/Myset -> scroll down to Myset0 and press right arrow -> OK. To use the saved settings, go to Shooting Menu 0 -> Reset/Myset -> Scroll down to Myset0 or Myset0 and press OK.

I was planning on diving today in the pool to experiment with various modes.... I have Myset 0 configured mostly as described above for Macro with 00 mm Myset 0 for WA for 0 mm Pan, with a few tweaks with metering and focus points, I could toggle between Mysets 0& 0 for shooting with 00-00 with zoom gear, or use another Myset, but I kind of like to use Myset 0 for favorite topside preferences. So I have been configuring Myset 0 for Video and as you pointed out, the Shooting Menu 0 won't let you save a "Myset" profile when the mode dial is set to Video, but you can save video settings when on M. So if you can use the REC button to shoot video while still in Manual mode, is there a qualitative difference between how the camera captures video in M vs Video? Of course I realize that by changing to Video mode, I could then select various Myset preferences for Macro Video, Wide Angle Video etc, but given that I don't own two big video lights, nor would I really want them on my intentionally compact rig, I'm wondering if its simpler to use the Mysets as described above and not have to adjust the mode dial at all. The advantage of this is that if you suddenly decided you wanted a still shot of something, you could simply stop recording and then press the shutter for exposure, and not have to worry about taking your eye from the viewfinder to adjust the mode dial..... So I was just curious if there is a difference in how the camera captures video in M vs Video mode..... thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites coroander 00 coroander 00 Wolf Eel Member 00 000 posts Gender:Male Posted December 00, 0000 You can easily change the Mode dial without taking your eye away from the EVF. M and [VIDEO] are next to each other so the change is quick and the Mode is shown in the lower left corner of the EVF. You could just shoot stills with just a few changes to the video settings, because except for the button settings, they are mostly just additional configuration. The main issue is coming up with a set of button settings that work well for both stills and video given the limitations on button use and the number of buttons available. For me, there are just far too many compromises to try to have a single set of button mappings that work for stills and video. I think the only real difference between switching the Mode dial to [VIDEO] and mapping a button to REC and pressing it with the camera set on M or S (or A or P), is that when you do the former, the EVF switches into 00:0 mode before you start recording and you loose access to the SCP (you get the live control panel.) | https://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?/topic/48625-underwater-settings-for-the-olympus-om-d-e-m5/&tab=comments#comment-321618 | wetpixel.com | 810.2 | 31 | [

If you want to see an exhilarating example of this idea, go see Matisse: The Cut-Outs at MoMA. The pieces are simply beautiful and the choreography of the exhibit is thrilling-beginning with the artist's small maquettes which he created while working out composition for bigger projects and finishing with giant scrolls of color and form dancing across gallery walls. It's interesting to note that in 0000 Matisse wrote to his friend the writer Louis Aragon that he had "an unconscious belief in a future life...some paradise where I shall paint frescoes." And, several years later, in 0000 Matisse talked about the "greater space" of Islamic art. This show expresses the confluence of Matisse's aesthetic and his intuition and vision of that greater space, a realm that will lift you with its pure expression of joy and freedom. You cannot help but smile and skip on your way out. The Collector's Eye: Bunny Mellon By Kate Betts Tuesday, November 00, 0000 0 Design, Events, Life Art, Bunny Mellon, Collecting, design, Sotheby's Permalink 0 Rachel Lambert Mellon's collection of fine art and decorative objects and furniture is on view this week at Sotheby's (the sale begins on Friday) and it is topic "A" at Manhattan cocktail parties. I've even received a few emails today peppered with sign offs like "...I'm running up to Sotheby's to see the Bunny Mellon collection," or "I'll meet you after I see the Bunny Mellon collection." The other night over dinner with some sophisticated French friends we got talking about the idea of taste and personal collecting in reference to the Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We were trying to define what makes a personal collection so unique and decided it comes down to an individual's clarity of vision, the ability to "go there" as one of my friends put it, to build a collection-a story, really-around one aesthetic ideal. This may sound incredibly snobbish, but very few people have this kind of vision. Call it taste. Taste is discipline, the ability to say "yes" to one thing and "no" to another. (Ms. Mellon's aesthetic has as much to do with her taste in art as it does with her idiosyncratic style, the pluck of hanging a Van Gogh over the bathtub, or an unframed Pissarro over the fireplace). The best collections express a depth of passion and a nimble instinct. You can tell, for example, just looking at a real collection, that the individual picked one piece not only because it was superior in some way to the rest, but because it spoke to them in a way that other pieces did not. I've overheard people discussing their impressions of the Bunny Mellon preview exhibit-all ten floors of stuff-at Sotheby's and it's funny how the same observation is repeated over and over: the art is incredible, but the decorative pieces, on their own, don't seem that unique or significant. How could they? Each piece is unique only as it relates to the whole. On it's own a basket is just a basket. (Still, wouldn't it be cool to bid on one of the baskets in her collection pictured above?) I suspect the reason so many people are running up to Sotheby's to get a gander at the ensemble, has less to do with owning a piece of it and more to do with holding onto the last vestige of an old world, a world where this level of taste and kind of lifestyle was the norm. It's gone now, we won't see the likes of Bunny Mellon again anytime soon. We won't hear or read about people who live with art and style the way she did. Here is a link to the Sotheby's catalogue.

You can have as many versions as you want. On each change a new version of the element is created. For example, if you would like to find the version history in objects you have to choose Versions tab. There you can see a list of changes, what is the difference between revisions and you can choose which version should be published. Settings You can configure the versioning behavior in the Settings -> System Settings -> (Documents, Assets, Objects) Turn off Versioning for the Current Process Sometimes it is very useful to just deactivate versioning for a process. For example for importers or synchronization with 0rd party systems. You can globally deactivate and activate the versioning with the following PHP code directly in your scripts: \Pimcore\Model\Version::disable(); // to disable versioning for the current process \Pimcore\Model\Version::enable(); // to enable versioning for the current process Note: With these commands you only deactivate/activate the versioning for the current PHP process. This setting is not saved, and only affects changes on elements which are modified within this process! Working with PHP API When working with PHP API - especially when saving elements - you need to set the userModification so that a proper user is shown in version history. | https://pimcore.com/docs/pimcore/current/Development_Documentation/Tools_and_Features/Versioning.html | pimcore.com | 598.5 | 0 | [] | null | [] |

4,508,755 | It's time for the result of our latest survey! And it had 0000 participant! So thank you everyone that took time to answer those questions. You should be able to see the answer if you go there : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/0KfHOyWHQTyFEEeAYvCZRxBc0_ZGZxJn0ZUztiwMdVjE/edit Community section : What country are you from? Country U.S.A. Germany India Australia Canada U.K. Bazil France Spain Sweden Percentage 00.0 % 0.0% 0.0% 0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Is nice to see that we have users from all around the world, even if nearly 00% are from English speaking countries. Image 0. How old are you? The average age of a /OnePiece user is 00.00 years old. We have roughtly 00% of users that are underaged, and 00% that are 00 years old or more. Image 0. Gender Gender Male Female Other Percentage 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% There is no surprise there. For the others, we have some Gender Fluids, transgenders, Bigenders, quite a lot of Non-binary, a Loli, a Furry, and nearly a 000 Oden (You wish), as well as some rude people, but I won't put up what they said. Manga or Anime? Both Manga Only Anime Only 00.0% 00.0% 0% No real surprise here either. Considering the subreddit has a lot of spoilers and is focussed around the chapter release, it's obvious there are only a few Anime Only people here. So thank you for Sticking Around, even if it the best place to avoid spoilers. For approximately how long have you been following One Piece? 0 Year or less 0 years 0 years 0 years 0 years 0 years 0 years 0 years 0 years 00 years or more 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 00.0% Nearly 00% of our users have followed the series for 00 years or more. (To give an idea, this mean they followed the series since Before the timeskip, as chapter 000 was released at the end of August 0000). For the rest, we have roughly the same number of new readers that stays with the series. So it's quite good to bring new blood and not have a decrease of new readers. Where does One Piece rank on your list of favorite manga? N°0 Top 0 Top 0 Top 00 Bellow Top 00 00.0% 00.0% 0% 0.0% 0.0% Well, you are in /OnePiece after all. So it's kinda obvious the manga is either your favorite or in your top 0. If it isn't your number 0, what series are better than One Piece for you? Do you own One Piece Merchandise? No Manga Volumes Figurines Clothes Poster DVD/Blu-ray 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% Those are some good numbers I would say, 00.0% of users have some merchandise and are probably supporting the series (depending on where you bought those) For the OTHERS answers given, some good ones are : autograph from dub VA of brook, Alvida pre devilfruit bodypillow, Chopper teddy bear, Sountracks, Custom made and 0D printed Keychain, Databook. Subreddit Section : Do you visit OnePiece mostly on mobile or on desktop? Mobile or Apps Both Desktop 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% If you are using desktop, are you using the old version of reddit? Or the redesign? Redesign Old version 00.0% 00.0% It seems like most users are using Mobile and Apps, as well as the redesign on desktop, so it's probably time to pay more attention to that than to the old version, this way we can get banners/flair for users that are on the new version of reddit. How often do you make : a submission on OnePiece?/Comment?/read the rules? Submission : Never Rarely Sometimes Often Very often (Daily) 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0% Comments : Never Rarely Sometimes Often Very often (Daily) 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% Check the rules : Never Rarely Sometimes Often Very often (Daily) 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0% 00% This really shows that there are a lot of lurkers on the subreddit. Most of you won't ever post or comment on the subreddit. With 0% of users creating submission and 00% commenting. As for the rules, there isn't any surprise since nearly every post respect the rules. (Only 0/0 of the post needs to be removed), so thank you to all of those that read them. Content you enjoy the MOST/the LEAST. Content you enjoy the most : Theories/Discussion Fanart Polls Cosplay Merchandise Youtube Video Media (Photo and Video) 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% So without surprise, people in this subreddit enjoy the Theories/discussions the most out of every type of post, it's then followed by the Fanarts. Which is good since like 00% of posts made are Discussion (00% total)/Fanarts (00% total). Content you enjoy the least: Youtuber Video Merchandise Cosplay Media Fanart Polls Theories/Discussion 00.0% 00.0% 00% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% Here there aren't any content that most users enjoy the least, but it still seems like users don't want to see that much Merchandise or Cosplay post. (Youtuber video are very rare) Also, a quick reminder, Discussion/Theories are mostly found by sorting by New. This is where you will see all of them, as it's hard for them to show up on the front page of the subreddit (but if it shows up on Hot, then it's a very good one). Do you only use the subreddit for the Spoiler and Chapter Discussion thread? No Yes 00.0% 00.0% It's nice to see that roughly 0/0 of the users are here for more than just the Spoilers and Chapter discussion. But there is still a huge part that only use the subreddit for that. Do you want the spoilers gone from this subreddit? No Yes 00.0% 00.0% Rate your overall experience on OnePiece. Here it's seems that out of 00, the Overall Experience on /OnePiece is 0.00 Image n°0 One Piece related questions : Who is your favorite Straw Hat? Luffy Zoro Nami Usopp Sanji Chopper Robin Franky Brook Jinbe 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Who is your least favorite Straw Hat? Luffy Zoro Nami Usopp Sanji Chopper Robin Franky Brook Jinbe 0.0% 0.0% 00.0% 00% 0.0% 00.0% 0% 00.0% 0.0% 00.0% As it was expected, Luffy is the Favorite Straw Hat for a lot of peopel, he's also the Straw Hat with the fewest "Least Favorite". After him Zoro is second favorite, followed by Sanji, Robin, Usopp, Brook, with the other Straw Hat having very few votes (and Nami having the Least "Favorite" Straw Hat.) After that, it seems like Chopper, Usopp, and Franky are the one people like the least out of the Straw Hat. I know it was a hard question for some of you, but the result are still interesting to know. Which Strawhat has the saddest backstory? Robin Brook Sanji Chopper Nami Other 00.0% 00% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% The Straw Hats with the saddest backstory is Robin! Followed by Brook, then Sanji, Chopper and Nami. What is your favorite Yonko crew? Red Hair Whitebeard Big Mom Beast Blackbeard 00.0% 00.0% 00% 00.0% 0.0% So the favorite Emperor's crew are the Red Hair Pirate! Which is very impressive since we haven't seen much of them. I guess Oda better delivers when it come to see them in action after Wano. Who is your favorite Admiral? Garp Aokiji Fujitora Kirazu Akainu Sengoku Green Bull 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% While Garp was only a Vice Admiral, he was put in the poll, and he won it! Whitout him, it's Aokiji that is the favorite, followed by Fujitora. Image 0 Who is your favorite Supernova (outside the Straw Hat) Law Kid Bonney Urouge Bege X Drake Hawkins Apoo Killer 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Who else than the character that nearly managed to defeat Luffy in the 0 popularity poll? Law is the Favorite Supernova outside of the Straw Hat! Which is your favourite canon arc in One Piece? The Favorite Canon Story arc are (You could vote for more than 0) : Position Story arc Result N°0 Enies Lobby 00.0% N°0 Marineford 00.0% N°0 Wano 00.0% N°0 Water 0 00.0% N°0 Impel Down 00.0% Which is your least favourite canon arc in One Piece?

Yes No I have no opinion. 00% 00% 00% Do you like the male character designs in One Piece? Yes No I have no opinion. 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% It's true that Oda isn't the best when it comes to Female character design. However it seems like the majority of users don't have a problem with that. Are fight a determining factor for your enjoyment of the series/arc? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% Now this is rather surprising I must say. What do ou thing about this? What is/are your (absolute) favourite aspect(s) of One Piece? From the result we have, it seems like the World-Building is the favorite part of One Piece (With 00.0% of voters choosing this). It's followed by The Adventure (00%), The characterization (00.0%), the Inter-character relationship (00.0%), the Action (00%) and the Art Style (00.0%). And those result are obvious. Some of the most upvoted chapters of this subreddit are when we have huge world building moment, like 000 (Shanks talks to the Elders), or 000 (ULTIMATE). Post-Timeskip is? On Par with Pre-TS Better than Pre-TS Worse than Pre-TS 00.0% 00.0% 00% This question is one of the most asked. With a lot of vocal voices saying that post TS is worse than Pre-TS. It's different for sure, but now we know how the community feels about that. If you could eat a Devil Fruit, what type would you want? Paramecia Zoan Logia 00.0% 0.0% 00.0% Most people could choose to eat a Logia, and it seems like becoming a Furry is the lesser choice in this subreddit. The Final Antagonist of One Piece will be : With 00.0% it's Blackbeard! Really? That is surprising for me since it's obvious that Oda will make the SH fight against the World Government after they find the One Piece. And I honestly don't see Blackbeard being the final Antagonist because of that. So people who voted for this, what was your reasoning for it? What is One Piece Biggest Flaw? Some of the biggest flaws mentionned are : The Pacing The Lack of characters' death outside of Flashback The Anime. Which are all fair flaws to the series. Random Questions about the Series : As of Wano, is Jimbei stronger than Zoro? Yes No Yes but Zoro will be stronger soon 0.0% 00.0 00.0% I guess people really want Zoro to always be the second strongest no matter what... I expected this result, but I was still disappointed... Was Zoro as strong as Luffy just after the timeskip? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% I... Really? 00.0% said yes? Will Sanji get laid by the end of the story? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% Nearly the perfect split, and it's easy to see why it's very divisive. (Also shows that every vote counts). Will Usopp be part of the 0 Billion Club by the end of the story? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% The Straw Hats will go to Laugh Tales : Before fighting the WG After Fighting the WG 00.0% 00.0% It's been hinted at a lot that the SH will go to Laugh Tales before taking on the WG. So for me it feels rather strange to have more than 0/0 voting for them reaching the final island after. Who will be the one to defeat Kaido? (So give the last hit) With 00.0% of the votes the one who will give the last hit to Kaido is : Luffy! Followed by 00.0% with someone else (that isn't Law/Kid/Zoro/Big Mom/Scabbard/Admiral) and 00% by one of the Scabbard. Zoro received 0.0% of the votes. Who will be the first SH to realize their dream? Luffy Zoro Nami Usopp Sanji Chopper Robin Franky Brook Jinbe 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% 00.0% 0.0% 0.0% 00% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% Most users believe that Usopp will be the first one to realize his dream! I also think the same as it's the easiest Dream to realize really. I could bet you it will happen in Elbaf. After that, we have Luffy and Robin, and it make sense since their dreams are linked. Both can be done once they reach Laugh Tales. How many members will the crew have at the end? (With Luffy) And most people want 00 members total in the crew! (With 00.0%), 00.0% wants 00 members, wile 00.0% want the crew to be complete right now with Jinbe. Who do you think wins in a 0v0 : An Emperor or an Admiral? Yonko Admiral 00.0% 0.0% If you are active on the subreddit, you know it's one of the question that creates the most discussion/arguments about. So it's nice to know the overall opinion of the subreddit on this question (Doesn't mean it's always correct mind you). Is Mihawk emperor's level? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% Also a very divisive question on this subreddit. Is Aokiji emperor's level? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% Is Akainu emperor's level? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% So they fight for 00 days in a very close battle. With Akainu winning in the end, but after a long and hard fight. And one is Emperor's level while the other isn't? Really? I find that hard to understand. If Oden was alive would he be stronger than Mihawk Yes No 00.0% 00.0% How strong was Oden at the time of his death? The strongest Top 0 Top 0 Top 00 Top 00 < Top 00 0.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% I like Oden, but sometimes I feel like people are overestimating him. Who is stronger between Shanks and Mihawk? Shanks Mihawk 00.0%% 00.0% This is also one of the question creating the most arguments on this subreddit, after all Mihawk is the World Strongest Swordman. But Shanks is an Emperor and became one after losing his arm. Is Kaido stronger now that 00 years ago? Yes, he's stronger Same level Weaker 00.0% 00.0 0.0% Had Ace survived, would Wano be liberated by now? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% Could the Marines take on ALL the Yonko at the same time ? Yes Yes in Marineford only No 0 at the same time 0 at the same time 0.0% 0.0% 00.0% 00% 0.0% This question is also linked to how you see the Emperor vs Admiral. So depending on which side you are on, you are more likely to pick Yes or No. Which character do you want focus on next? Rank Character % N°0 Vegapunk 00.0% N°0 Dragon 00.0% N°0 Shanks 00.0% All very good choices, and all of them are character we have known for a long time without really knowing. Will Blackbeard find the One Piece before Luffy? Yes No 00.0% 00.0% How strong is Monkey D. Dragon? The strongest Top 0 Top 0 Top 00 < Top 00 0% 00.0% 00.0% 00.0% 0.0% Here, most people seems to think that Luffy's father, Garp's son is part of the strongest characters of the series. Oda better respond to our expectations then. As for his Bounty : Well, 00.0% think it will be more than 0 Billions and 00.0% think it will be between 0-0 billions. That remind me, I once made a poll asking people what Sabo's bounty would be (since we knew it was getting revealed in a magazine soon). So maybe I will do the same for Dragon? That could be nice.

Like damn. I hope you enjoyed it. The anwers for the Survey Saga will be up next in some time. submitted by Kirosh to OnePiece [link] [comments] Greed is Subtle The morning alarm woke up Ghen. With an annoyed sigh, he stretched out his arm and silenced the foul-sounding chirps. Slowly sitting up in bed, he let out a deep yawn and got to his feet. Running a couple of chitinous fingers along his antennae to stimulate them to life, he made his bed and then went to his closet. Today was a work day, so he needed his suit. Once the pants were on, he stretched out his wings so that he could button up the shirt, then relaxing them once all the buttons were secured. Dressing for the day was done, now for the morning meal. Entering his kitchen, he took out the chilled leftovers of the evening meal last night and popped it into the radiator, first defrosting and then slightly cooking it. During that process, he also fished out a ceramic cup and placed it in his brewer, serving himself some synthesized caffeine. His idle thought led him to being amused that, when eaten directly off a plant, it has a concentration that could kill him three times over. But after going through some refinement and roasting, all it does is make him hyper. Once the meal was put together, his plate of heated leftovers and a cup of almost-piping-hot cup of Xia's, he took his time to enjoy it. His communicator vibrated. When he looked, he found it was from his boss. "Hello?" Ghen answered. "Ghen, the meeting's been moved up to a few minutes from now." His boss, Xkik, announced. "Apparently higher up has something important they want to say. We have a terminal ready for you, I'll message the login details." "Wha-, what's so important?" Ghen asked in bewilderment. "Did a water line rupture or something?" "No, nothing like that." Xkik replied with a slight chuckle. "It's actually about the rumors we've been hearing. That human corporation wanting to acquire us? That's what they're talking about." Ghen could feel everything inside his thorax drop to the floor. "That must mean it's true then, right? Did we get sold off by the Queen to this company then?" "Show up to the meeting and you'll get your answer." Xkik said simply. When he finished, Ghen got the notification on his communicator. There's the login details, allowing him to remotely attend the meeting. "They're about to start, hurry up." Once Xkik disconnected, Ghen worked fast to login and set up the remote viewing. Once everything was done, his screen started transmitting the meeting room. It was already packed. And off by the main board, he saw his answer. There was a human, resting against the wall on his two legs. Standing right in the center of everyone's view was the coordinator, Tizx, watching the clock periodically. As soon as the meeting's start time was reached, the coordinator began. "Alright everyone. I realize that this was rather short notice, so I want to say how appreciative I am that you made it. Now then, let's just get right to it. For some time now, many of you have been hearing rumors that a human corporation has been interested in us. Why? We never really knew. We're just an organization responsible for finding, extracting and providing water to the colony here all under the direction of the Queen herself. Well, as of now, I have the answer for you. Why don't I let Ryan say that?" Stepping back, Tizx motioned for the human, Ryan, to take over. With a nod, Ryan practically bounced over and then took the position. "Good morning to you all. I hope my Zazk is passable, heh. Anyways, the answer to those rumors, is yes. Terran Galactic Company is indeed interested in you all. Which now leads to me. I'm here to announce that, effective yesterday evening, this water company is now a subsidiary of Terran Galactic Company, under the name of Zilia Water Delivery." Many other sub-coordinators broke into hushed conversation, no doubt speaking their thoughts with each other about this move. Ghen could only wonder if this was even a good thing. What will the humans do? Will he still have his job? Will he have to learn how to deal with the ruthless humans? "Now, I am well aware this is quite the...uh, change." Ryan continued. "That's why I'm happy to inform you that, no, nothing negative or detrimental will happen to you. You just have new people to answer to. Operations will continue as normal, everybody here will still keep their jobs. The only real change any of you will personally experience is that Coordinator Tizx here will now report to someone else. On behalf of the Terran Galactic Company, we are extremely excited and are looking forward to working with you all. Thank you for your time." A week later. At least Ryan wasn't lying. After the initial shock wore off, things went back as they normally did. There were no terminations, no reductions in annual pay or anything. Nothing really changed. At least until this new meeting was called. Ghen was at the worksite this time, so he took his seat and watched as, once again, Ryan led the meeting. "Hello again, everyone!" He said cheerfully, his Zazk noticeably improved. "I hope I didn't end up looking like a liar, right? Everything's still normal, all that?" All the zazk in the room confirmed, providing comments to their pleasant surprise as well as lingering thoughts. "Awesome! Awesome." Ryan said jubilantly, his fleshy mouth revealing his bone-white teeth. "Now then, you're probably wondering why I'm here again, right? Well, I got another fantastic piece of news for you all! Two, actually. I'll start with the first: Zilia Water Delivery has just completed its IPO. The company is now publicly traded!" Ghen and the others voiced their confusion, having no idea what in the name of the Queen Ryan was talking about. What was Ryan talking about? What's an IPO? And why exactly is being publicly traded such a significant thing? "Oh, you guys don't know any of that?" Ryan asked in surprised confusion. After everybody confirmed, he let out a quick huff as he began his explanation. "Well, to begin, IPO is short for Initial Public Offering. Basically what that means is that, before today, Zilia was privately held. Only certain individuals could buy and sell shares here. But now that we're public? Literally anyone can buy and sell shares in the company, hence us being publicly traded." "Uh, what's a share?" Ghen asked, still completely lost. "Oh, boy..." Ryan muttered under his breath before returning to his peppy image. "To simply put it, a share is short for having a share of ownership in a company. When you buy a share, you're buying a piece of ownership, and when you sell, you're selling that amount." "So wait...if someone buys a share, they're a co-owner then?" One of the other team coordinators asked. "If they get enough, yeah." Ryan nodded. "You need a lot though, and that really depends on the company. If I had to give an answer though? I'd say usually you need to have a lot more shares than a lot of people combined to be officially a co-owner, but we call that being a majority shareholder." "And how do we do that?" Ghen asked, now growing curious but still not understanding why such a concept exists. "Simple. Buy shares." Ryan said simply. "And that leads into the second piece of awesome news. Zilia's corporate has a product in mind, a premium-package of water delivery. Instead of the usual water that you pump out, filter and ensure its potable before delivery, with the premium package, not only will you get that, but you'll also get all of the required nutrients and vitamins the zazk body requires! And they feel you guys have the best expertise and understanding to pull it off! So, here's what we're offering as a good-faith bonus: A 00% increase to your annual salary as well as being given stock options." Ghen wasn't sure about the second part, but the salary definitely got his attention, as well as everyone else's. Although his job was considered to have a good pay, Ghen isn't going to say no to a higher salary. In fact, he's been focusing his work on getting a promotion so he can come home with even more credits in pocket. "What do you mean by stock options?" Ghen asked after some time. Ryan let out that smile again, the one that revealed his teeth. "If you choose to transfer over to the new group, you'll be provided 00,000 shares in Zilia itself. Why's that awesome? Let me walk you through it. Right now, our last closing price per share was 0.00 credits. And if you have 00,000 shares during that time, you're sitting on 000,000 credits, if you cash it out immediately." "And why shouldn't we?" One of the coordinators demanded in an ambiguous tone. "Because the price per share changes a lot." Ryan explained promptly. "When we got done with the IPO? It closed at 0.00 a share. Right now? My money's on the closing price being 0.00 a share. However, we are extremely confident in this premium package being successful. If it does? Well, my bet is that the share price will skyrocket to 0.00 a share. If you hold those shares and the price gets to what my bet was? You'll instead get 000,000 credits. Just by holding onto them, you just made an additional 0,000 credits!" "And what if we have more shares?" Ghen questioned, now getting excited at the prospect of free money. "Even more money!" Ryan laughed a bit. "And don't forget about dividends, but that's for another time. The premium group is gearing up right now, we just need the workforce. If any of you wants in, I'll be back tomorrow with all the forms needed to make it official. Take the day and tonight to think it over, yeah?" Everything else melted into a blur. Ghen was practically on autopilot that whole day. Was this the secret to the humans' incredibly massive economy? How so many of them have amassed so much money out of nowhere? All you had to do was just buy this share out of a company and you get more money without even working? As soon as he got home, Ghen knew what he was going to do during the night. After feverishly looking through the galnet, now having the human race connected to it, he looked and gathered up as many books that were translated into zazk as he could find, all talking about the human economic system. The last time he undertook such an intensive study was during his primary education phase. And during his search, he even found forums on the galnet that were completely dedicated to the human's economy. All of them talking about strategies on what company, or stock, to pick. How to analyze a company's performance to determine if it was worth the money, or it had potential to grow over time. And that was when he discovered the humans found another method to the extremely simple buying and selling process. There were humans and some other immigrated aliens who made five times what Ghen could receive over a simple month just by watching the share prices during trading hours, and then buying and selling them at the proper times. Ghen's mind was just absolutely flabbergasted. He thought it was just some strange concept only aliens could make, but no, not with the humans. They've practically made their economy into an art or a science. No, not even their economy. Everything. If humans can see a way to make money off of it, they'll do it. And if there isn't, they'll look for a way. Healthcare was monetized. Galnet services, transportation, shopping at the store, they even made all of their utilities into profit-oriented companies. And it was there that Ghen paused, the realization slamming into him. Everything was monetized. Which means, if you don't have the money for it, you're not getting it. Right? Are the humans truly that ruthless? So obsessed with making money? To the point that they're willing to deprive their own people of the absolute necessities if it's a source of credits? Ghen let out a scoff. There's no way. Nobody is that cruel and callous. He's never been to the United Nations. He can't rely on what a bunch of random people on the galnet says. He decided that from here on out, he'll only go as far as saying that humans are a little obsessed with credits, nothing more. ... There he was. Ryan, sitting in the office provided to him. And there was a rather large line leading to him. Looks like word got around. Although, the line wasn't as large as he expected it to be. Maybe the others thought it was just a ruse? That there's no such thing as making free money by spending it on such a made-up concept? Ghen only knows that, if it is a ruse, it's an extremely elaborate one, where all of the humans are in on it. And he believes that's just extremely ridiculous. At the end, if he's unsure, he'll just take the transfer for the very real increase in his very real salary. And although he spent a very good chunk of the night reading up on how humans do things, he's still going to play it smart. He'll leave his 00,000 shares alone and see where it goes from there. "Good morning sir." Ryan greeted warmly once Ghen took his seat. "Now, name please?" "Ghen." He answered, barely keeping his nerves down. "Alright...and what's your position at this location?" Ryan questioned after scribbling on his form. "I monitor the pumping stations near the extraction sites." Ghen explained, staying on point. "To be more specific, I check to see if they're in need of maintenance, as well as reading the flow rate that's determined by the calculators installed there. If there's too little for what's needed, I pump out more. And if there's too much, I pull it back a little." "Nice...and how long have you been doing it for?" Ryan complimented with a nod. "As of tomorrow, ten years." Ghen replied, voice quickly changing to minor awe once he realized that fact. "Excellent. Do you have anyone in mind you'd like to replace you here?" Ryan questioned after another scribble. "If you don't have anyone, you're free to say so." Ghen took a moment to think it over. A bunch of names went through his mind, but one stuck with him. "Tilik. He's just been accepted here, but he's learned quickly. Very attentive and he always catches something subtle. I think he'll do really well in my position, even better actually." "Tilik, really?" Ryan questioned with a little shock, going through his completed forms. Ghen felt a short sense of panic in him. Did something happen, or was Tilik actually transferring? His answer didn't take long to reveal itself. "Right, Tilik was actually one of the first people to want to transfer here. He's actually requested to be part of the testing teams specifically. Do you have a second choice?" "Um...no, actually." Ghen replied, feeling a little ashamed. "Tilik was my only choice, to be honest." "Hey, don't worry." Ryan said assuringly with his hands raised. "Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes, there's just nobody up to snuff, right? 'Kay, so, last question. Is there anything specific you'd like to do when given the transfer?" "If you need someone monitoring new pumps, I'd be happy to do that." Ghen stated. "So basically same job but with better payoff, am I right?" Ryan grinned. "I hear you. Sometimes, we're just not paid enough for what we're doing. I know I think that sometimes. Uh, our secret, yeah?" "Yeah, our secret." Ghen nodded, thinking it'd be better to have friendly relations with the human, just in case. "Awesome. Back on topic, that's it." Ryan announced, placing the form on his pile. "We'll give you a call when you're accepted." "Oh, uh, that's it?" Ghen questioned with a shrug in shocked surprise. "What, expecting a question like, why do you want to transfer?" Ryan chuckled a bit as he leaned in his seat. "You can bullshit all you want, but we both know the answer. Sweet money and stock options. Not saying that's a bad answer of course, just that it's pretty obvious." "I suppose it is." Ghen commented, realizing the point. "Also, you mentioned this...dividend? Is that for Zilia shares?" Ryan laughed a little bit before nodding. "Yep, announced before I came here. About 0.00 per share. Want to know why that's awesome? Instead of waiting for the proper price to cash out your shares, now? The company pays you for each share you hold." "A...Are you serious?" Ghen demanded, flabbergasted. Ryan nodded with his now-trademark grin. "Dead serious. If you get the transfer, and get those 00,000 shares? A little head math...right, if you hold onto those, in addition to your salary, you'll now annually be paid 00,000 credits, if you keep it at 00,000 shares. Only you can decide to sell or buy shares." Ghen just stood there silent and motionless, no idea of whether to believe it or not, to which Ryan just laughed. Once he walked out of the room, he managed to snap back to reality. Again, just focus on the very real pay-raise. He'll deal with the other parts later. After he returned to his spot, he spotted Tizx approaching by his desk. The coordinator seems to be as casual as always. "I saw you in that line a bit ago, Ghen." He said as he leaned on the desk. "Guess you're really taking that human's word?" "I mean, I don't know about all this share business or what not." Ghen began with a shrug, his tone sounding a little defensive. "But I mean, having a bigger salary? Course I'm going for it when I can. And if all this magic credits turn out to be real? You realize we can live like the royal servants, right? Get the best cars, the nicest food and all that?" "I'd be very careful, Ghen." Tizx warned in a sudden shift in tone. "Don't trust those humans. The way they just...obsess over money? Come up with more and more insane ways of getting credits? I don't know, it just makes my wings twitch." "You think this is a bad idea?" Ghen asked with a little surprise at the change-in-demeanor. "I think you should be careful, with the humans, and with what you're saying." Tizx replied, straightening his posture. "I wouldn't put it past those Earthmen to backstab you if it gets them a few more credits. And we all know how the royal servants get if any of us lowly commoners start thinking we can break into their circle." "I hear you, I'll be on my guard, promise." Ghen stated with a nod. With a confirming nod of his own, Tizx returned back to his duty, walking past Ghen's desk. Several weeks later. Everything became so much better. Ghen got the transfer. He didn't need to relocate to a new residence either. And after he was walked through into learning how to manage his stock account, and seeing that new form of payment in his hands, he already felt as though he made the best decision. But it was only when he decided to take those shares more seriously that he became privy to what he was given. After receiving the dividend payment, and actually seeing it was real, valid credits after transferring it to his main bank account, all he could describe was the most powerful high he ever felt. While his first thoughts were to buy himself a royalty-class car, some nicer furnishings for his home, or even a better home entirely, he ended up going the smarter route. After going back to his stock account, he discovered that Zilia's shares rose to about 0.00 credits in price. Knowing that this was the easiest money he could ever make, he took all of his dividend earnings and bought more shares in Zilia, bringing him to owning 00,000. And from his new regional coordinator, a human named Dylan, tomorrow is the grand release of the premium package. For just a monthly rate of 00.00 credits, the tap water will now include a sizeable portion of all nutrients and vitamins required in the zazk physiology. Still, Ghen has to admit. He's not entirely sure why anybody would want such a thing, if they'd even go for it. But, as long as he's practically swimming in easy credits, he won't pay much attention to it. And just like when he was intensively studying the basics of how the human economy worked, he barely got any sleep. His mind was constantly thinking about the things he would buy. Or rather, what other stocks to put his credits into. Even now he can still hardly believe it. Just spend your money on some, make-believe thing and, if you wait long enough and picked the right stock, you'll get more than you spent back? His mind even wandered onto what human colonies, or even their homeworld, Earth, was like. If everybody was making so much money, what kind of things would they offer? What kind of ridiculous service or product or item can you get? He's even debating on joining some forum and just asking around. Explain how he's new to how humans do things and was wondering what he should expect if he's successful. By the time he felt like he can go to sleep, the binary-stars of the system were rising from the horizon. After getting out of his bed and changing to clean clothes, his mind returned onto what-ifs. What if he bought better clothes? He's had his eye on that human brand of luxury clothes, Tessuti di Venezia, that's been all the rage amongst the royal servants. Or maybe he can go on vacation and just check out Earth for real? It was a short ride to his workplace from his home. After getting stuff his stuff and preparing to walk through the doors, he heard the roar of a car grow louder. When he looked, he saw the sleekest and quite possibly the coolest looking car he's ever seen. Each time the engine revved it would startle him, both from how harsh it sounded as well as just how intense it sounded. And after it parked, he saw the doors pop out and then slide along the body back. And there, he saw Tilik, the seat literally turning and extending out a bit before he got off. As soon as he saw Ghen staring, he struck a rather prideful pose after putting on his lab coat and then sauntered over to Ghen. "What do you think?" Tilik said, without any doubt inviting praise or compliments. "D...Did you actually buy that?" Ghen asked, unable to tear his eyes away from the car. "You're Queens-damn right I did!" Tilik laughed happily. "Thing takes off like a starship, has temperature-controlled seating, all-in-one center console, barely any bouncing on rough roads. Hoof, best decision I've ever made!" "How much did that thing cost?" Ghen asked after letting out an incredulous laugh. "Five million credits." Tilik replied, earning an absolutely shocked stare from Ghen. "And thanks to the incredible salary I have, in addition to all these shares and dividends, I'll pay back the credits I borrowed in no time!" Ghen needed a few moments before he could speak again. "All I've been doing is buying more shares." Tilik laughed and then patted the now-envious monitor's back. "Smart man. I got a little carried away, yeah, but not anymore. Any spending credits I got, going right back to investing. That's what it's called right, investing?" "Yeah, it is." Ghen nodded, feeling a fire light up in his thorax. "And also? Today's the day that the premium water thing is being released. Here's hoping it starts out well, right?" "Oh it will, trust me." Tilik chuckled as they both began making their way inside the workplace. "Lots of research, lots of study. By the Queen, so much of it...it'll make your head spin." And after hearing that, Ghen had a moment of realization. "Hey, Tilik? How did you get such a nice position anyways? Weren't you just studying under me before the humans came along?" Tilik let out a sigh after opening the door. "I'll be honest, I never wanted your job. Not because it's boring or terrible, just...I didn't suffer so many sleepless nights in the science academy just to be a glorified button pusher. This is what I've always wanted. Doing science, solving problems rather than just applying the solution, you know?" "Wait, you got an academic certificate?" Ghen questioned, completely floored. "How did you end up beneath me then? I should've been answering to you!" "Simple." Tilik gave a heavier sigh. "A royal servant was asking for the same job I was. Take a guess at who got it." "Ouch. Good thing the humans came along when they did, yeah?" Ghen was taken aback. He never heard anything about a servant taking a job at his place. "Looks like you're proving yourself to be well suited." "By the Queen, of course I am." Tilik nodded. "Like I said, I nearly broke my wings through so many nights, got certified top of my class, all just to get pushed to the dirt because someone who was born into a particular family wanted the same thing I did? I know I'm smarter than any of those empty-skull servants back in the Center. I know that, whatever, uh...corporate? Yeah, whatever corporate wants out of science, I will xeek give it to them." "Well, let me know how things go in the lab." Ghen said, admiring his drive as they neared the main office floor. "Because this is where the button pusher needs to go." Tilik let out a laugh as he nodded. "Hey, how about we meet up at Queen's Fine Eatery tonight. I'll pay, yeah?" Ghen, at first, wanted to admonish him for choosing such an outrageously expensive place to go. But he quickly realized that, he truly is good for it, thanks to the humans. "Well, hey, if you're paying for it." ... It was a fantastic opening. After being told what news sites to keep in mind for stocks, he first heard it from Dylan, and then got more detail on Business Today. There was such a massive demand right from the start that Zilia needs to increase extraction just to meet it. But what really got his attention was the effect it had. Zilia Water Delivery's share price just blasted off. After seemingly holding steady at about 0.00, by the time he got home and logged onto his account, it already reached 0.00 a share. The calculator on his account told him that he got a value-gain of 00.00%. Never in his entire life had he felt such...joy. With all of the shares he currently has? He's sitting at 000,000.00 credits. He knows that it is woefully pathetic compared to what the royal servants have just in their pockets, but the fact that he has such money, just by owning some intangible concept? Why even work at Zilia? Why doesn't he just sit at home, figure out what companies to invest in and make his money that way? What's even the point in working a real job, getting a pathetic pay when you can just take the money you have, determine where to spend it, and get triple back? All just sitting on your wings at home, researching? He was so wrapped up in his excited high that he completely forgot he was going to meet Tilik at Queen's. After quickly and haphazardly putting on his nicer clothes, he got to the place only a few minutes late. Tilik was there by the guide, no doubt having been waiting for him. As soon as he strode up, Tilik's wings stiffned out some. No doubt he must've seen the numbers as well. "I can see your wings, Ghen." Tilik began with an excited chuckle. "Made some serious credits?" Ghen let out an incredulous scoff, struggling to find the words for a moment. "Incredible. All I'm going to say." "Likewise." Tilik chortled some before nodding to the table guide. "All here. Table please?" "Right this way, sir." The guide said politely. It was a short walk, travelling between round tables. The vast majority were populated by zazk, but Ghen was surprised at seeing a few humans here as well. No doubt corporate workers checking out the local food. He did spot them having bowls filled with some kind of mass. Some were brown, others white with what looks to be black specks on them. They arrived at their table. A rather nice one, affording a view out the windows into the busy colony streets. Once Tilik and Ghen settled in, the guide handed out the menus. "May I suggest our rather popular option for tonight?" The guide began. "Human ice-cream. Ingredients sourced from Earth itself. Very cold, but incredibly sweet, and coming in many flavors. The most popular amongst us is called vanilla-bean. The vanilla itself soaks in the cream for much of the process, and then the innards sprinkled on top of it near the end. Rumor has it that the Queen herself has demanded personal shipments of such a treat straight from the home of vanilla, an island on Earth named Madagascar." Ghen didn't even spare a single thought. "Vanilla bean ice cream then, please." "Same." Tilik seconded when the guide glanced to him. With a slight bow, the guide proceeded to ferry their orders to the kitchen. Thankfully it was just a short wait before the guide returned, carrying a large plate containing bowls of ice cream. Ghen could feel the saliva on his mandibles as the bowl was placed before them. He could just feel the cold air around that glistening mass of sugary goodness. The white snow decorated with the black dots of vanilla bean. Once the guide left them, Tilik and Ghen both dived in at the same time. As soon as the ice cream entered his mouth, touched his tongue, he exploded in incomprehensible bliss. The sweetness, the smooth and creamy mass, even the taste of vanilla he wasn't sure about was just absolutely delightful. It was so overwhelming that his entire body limped, slumping in his seat as he was forced to ride on the surging tide of joy and happiness sweeping over him. Tilik was no different. He too was taken completely by the effects of the ice cream, his wings fluttering some against the seat. Ghen could hear some noise. It was the humans they passed by. They were chuckling, grinning, and glancing over at them discreetly. Unlike the two zazk, the humans seemingly just enjoyed the ice cream as if it was just another nice dessert to them. Or perhaps they couldn't allow themselves to succumb to the high? And as soon as the wave of indescribable bliss and happiness subsided, Ghen knew. He just knew. This was the life. He wanted this. The ice cream was just the beginning. So many things denied because he didn't have the credits, or worse, not the blood. Because he was just a drone in the great Collective, even if he had the credits, he wasn't allowed because of what caste he was born in. That fire that sparked in him when he saw Tilik's new car? It exploded into a raging firestorm. And when looking into Tilik's eyes, Ghen could see the same. He was on the same page as Ghen was. Both of them were sold. They have the credits. And the humans? If you can pay for it, they'll never discriminate. All they cared about is if you have the money. And by the Queen, Ghen and Tilik will endeavor to amass as much credits as physically possible. The rest of the night faded into a blur. A blur that evokes only one thing. Bliss. It was only when he walked through the door of his pathetic hut that Ghen's mind snapped back to focus. His mandibles felt sticky. And he felt a weight in his stomach. How much ice cream did he eat? Whatever it was, he ate such volume that the lower-section of his throax extended and rounded out, visible even under his shirt. He felt something odd in his pocket. It was a receipt. 00,000 credits for ten bowls of vanilla bean ice cream. Was that ten bowls for both of them? Or individually? Ghen didn't care. He's good for it. Returning back to his calculator, he acted upon the decision that he had made at that eatery. He's acquiring as many books about investing and stock trading as he could find, frequent and study all the discussions and arguments presented by other like-minded individuals such as he, all to ensure he can live the good life. And he had a very good feeling Tilik was doing the exact same thing. Well, first, the gurgling in his stomach, as well as the feeling of something rising demanded his attention. Looks like he'll need to take the night off to let his stomach get back to normal. Three Years Later. Ghen looked out beyond the horizon, seeing the colony that he grew up in. On the far side was where his old house was. With only a simple robe on, made from the finest silk from Earth's nation-state of China, he relaxed in his seat. It was a long road. Stockpiling credits from pre-existing investments and from subsequent pays, he and Tilik made it. From having only half a million in assets and cash, now transformed to over eight-hundred million. And now, his call contracts on American Interstellar? They've just announced a breakthrough in their next generation of warp drives, reducing the speed coefficient even further, resulting in far faster travel. And with that, their stock price climbed sharply. Another hundred million credits in the bank. Soon, very soon, he and Tilik are about to become the galaxy's first zazk billionares. But that's not enough. There are many humans who are billionares. Only those he can count on one hand are considered trillionares. He's going to break into that circle. He and Tilik. Looking beyond the colony, he saw the abandoned building of the workplace he transferred to when the humans arrived. Turns out, the reason for such a high demand was that the humans also slipped in sugar to the tap water. As soon as that broke, many influential royal servants demanded investigations and outright banning of Terran Galactic Company's influence over the former government division. Zilia's stock price plummeted. But thanks to an advance tip from his human coordinator, Dylan, he and Tilik made a put contract. And that's where they struck gold, as the human saying goes. Dylan warned that if they were citizens of the United Nations, they'd be investigated and convicted for insider trading. But, since they weren't, and the Collective were only just introduced to capitalism, there's no risk at all. Now the colony is going through a withdrawal phase, Zilia has been dissolved and reformed back as a government division and are currently at work re-establishing the standard, plain water delivery. "Well, shit." Tilik muttered as he walked up to Ghen's side, taking well to human speech. "Looks like you win. American Interstellar's announcement really was a good thing. There goes a million credits. Ah well, the Royal Shipyards will make it back for me soon." "Oh? Did they just go corporate?" Ghen asked curiously, glancing to Tilik. "Hell yeah they did." Tilik chuckled, sitting down. "Queen and her retard servants fought it hard, but Royal Shipyards is now officially a human-style corporation. And, to a surprise to all the xenophobes in the galaxy, they're already being offered contracts for ship production. That'll raise the stock price pretty good." "What's that human word...?" Ghen muttered, already having a reply in mind. "Dick? Yeah, calls or suck my dick, Tilik." Tilik roared in laughter. "Already made them. Forty credits a share by this day next month." "I have half a mind to go thirty." Ghen chuckled. "Either way, until then, I heard from Dylan that he knows a guy who knows several prime human women who happen to be into zazk." "You're interested in women?" Tilik said as his wings fluttered. "With how often you tell me to suck you off, I'd have thought differently." "Oh, I always thought it was you who was into men." Ghen responded dryly. "Just wanted to be a good friend, you know? Considering how you never seem to make it past, Hey sweet thing, I'm rich you know." "Oh, go fuck yourself." Tilik countered with a little laugh. After he stopped, wings stiffened, he looked to Ghen. "So, know any royal servants we can put the squeeze on for more revenue streams?" "I got just the one." Ghen nodded, sitting up. "Fzik. He's been fighting to control the ice cream trade. Worried it's a corrupting influence. Got done talking with the human CEO of Nestle earlier. If we clear the way, he'll know how to squeeze a little more gains in stock price when he makes the announcement." Tilik's wings stiffened even more, signaling his approval. "Alright, time to throw some credits around, yeah?" AN: Sorry for the period of no updates. College is starting up, lots of stuff to clear and work out. Not sure why but I just got a bug up my butt about incorporating money and the stock market into a short. Here it is. Sorry if it seems abrupt, character limit fast approaching. Let me know how you guys think about it! submitted by SynthoStellar to HFY [link] [comments] A thorough evaluation of the 0/00 PTS update and base changes, as well as almost everything else coming up. Hello, here's another round of Esamir Rework reviews. I'll also cover the Indar base changes, the storm, vehicle balance changes and new infantry gear. I'm not going to touch on outfit resource changes here, since this post is long enough already. I'd like to give shoutouts to aln-isolator , [NWYT]Praefectus, the pilots of [SACA] and everyone else who helped give feedback. Here's the image gallery. This time around the bases listed in the document match the order in which they appear in the gallery. https://imgur.com/a/0pd0VFj Esamir has a new skybox which is much less bright. I can now see vehicle weapon tracers when shooting. This is a long asked for change. Andvari: 0 points now, 00 min cap with 0 points, 0 mins with 0 points. Consider adjusting the timers. Ymir: No changes to terrain that I can see. It's a 00 minute cap with two points owned, and 0 minutes with 0 points. Might consider reducing those slightly. Apex Genetics has had its wall adjusted somewhat, as well as the rocks surrounding the triple stack. There are now more routes for infantry to enter the base. Aurora Materials: Sunderer garage and surrounding terrain seem to have been lowered slightly. Also, there's now a rock at the end of the garage, which reduces the possible angles the bus inside can be shelled from. The slope between the crescent building and the road has had some paths added for infantry. Overall, good changes. However, there's still one issue here, and that's the possibility of shelling the triple stack balcony from the ridge NW of the base. Additional purple spikes from the cluster behind the spawn room could be positioned to block this firing angle. Eastwake Harborage: Point has received a new structure above it. It's now on the bottom floor of a triple stack that has an expanded balcony around its second floor. This gives point holders a lot of additional cover, but the problems with this base still exist. There's still a ridiculous distance between spawn room and the point with minimal cover from vehicles/bolters/LAs- a literal Death Valley. The area immediately around point is still extremely harasser friendly and could use some props to obstruct harasser movement. In its current position, the teleporter room is useless since infantry leaving it must still advance through Death Valley. Sundy positions are a bit sketchy, too. Fortunately, I've had a long discussion and now believe this base could be fixed with a couple tweaks. Consider replacing the AI turret outside the spawn room with an AV gun. This would discourage excessively aggressive vehicles from camping Death Valley. Likewise, replacing the light vehicle pull with an MBT pull gives defenders a bit more potential firepower, and increases the area attacking vehicles must cover to protect their own vulnerable spawns. This base would also benefit from the moving of primary teleporter room to a point higher up the hill and closer to the point, as shown by squad waypoint in this image: https://i.imgur.com/TuEee0F.png. A second teleporter here at hearts waypoint https://i.imgur.com/JUbXklc.png gives defenders another route into the point without going through Death Valley. At these two locations sunderer garages could be built to create safer spawn points for attackers.https://i.imgur.com/QWblfz0.png https://i.imgur.com/w0HR00n.png Echo valley: Rocks have been added on the exterior side of the vehicle terminal to give it some cover. However, they aren't close enough to each other to prevent me from driving through with a Kobalt bus, nor is there anything stopping me from hacking the terminal or using a GSD to get through the shield and then start driving around the base. Placement of a couple rocks in very specific spots would stop this. Secondly, a crate has been placed between bridges to give infantry another path into the point building. It's a cool concept, but it needs some form of obstruction to prevent me from driving harassers or possibly larger vehicles onto the two bridges and blasting point directly. Thirdly, consider some form of sight blockers on the west wall to reduce the potential for LAs to spawn camp. Excavion DS-00E: Cover has been placed over both tunnels, which is an excellent change. MBT pulls have been added to this base, though they could stand to be moved slightly closer to the spawn room to deter attackers from hacking them and flooding the base with AI vehicles. A point is located in a long narrow building near the eastern tunnel exit. B is in a triple stack on the south side. C is located immediately west of the drill site. Capture timer is 0 minutes with two points and 0 minute with all 0. This base is mostly fine, but could do with some small tweaks for increased cover. At A point the point holders have few options for cover inside. There are two small smokestack structures (pictures in gallery) that could be replaced with actual buildings to provide more cover from aircraft for players moving around inside the base. Timers could probably be increased slightly. Overall though it's in a decent state. Genudine Gardens: Some props have been added throughout the base that'll prevent harassers from turboing around like maniacs, but the gigantic hole in the wall in one corner needs to be closed off somewhat to prevent vehicle entry or at least make it more difficult. This base would be fine if that hole were sealed or obstructed better. Grey Heron: Additional cover has been placed on the side of the staircase leading from spawn to B/C point. The secondary route for defenders has been fleshed out- the door now is high enough to get under, and there is a hole in the floor that allows defenders to drop down to the lower level. Cover has been added on the B side of this base. For improvements, I still think a roof is needed over the stairs from defender spawn to the lower level. A wall alone won't stop tanks from shelling it. C could use a bit of cover, but I'm concerned that adding too much will turn it into a fortress. You can enter this base with harassers, so some bollards should be added to each entrance to prevent that. Jaegers' fist: Sunderer garage has been added, and the trench has been improved. This base has some odd issues from an infantry perspective, namely that attackers and defenders have the exact same routes to the point, as shown in the gallery. I have no ideas for how this could be improved. I still believe the point needs some kind of roof to block HESH spam and A0G, preferably a solid one to deter LAs from doing C0 bombing. BL-0 Recovery and Vidar Observation Post both have spawn rooms and light vehicle terminals. This is a pretty good change, allowing closer vehicle pulls and a shorter sundy reinforcement distance for attacks on the surrounding facilities. Jord Amp Station: More cover has been added around C point. This is a good change, but doesn't change the fact that A is still inside the station. Mani Lake: This one has undergone the most terrain edits, and consequently has become a lot less vehicle friendly. The two trenches leading into the base have had barricades installed, allowing infantry to move through but not vehicles. The hills surrounding the base have had their exterior faces steepened significantly, preventing treaded vehicles from driving up them. This change is excellent, but needs a bit of tuning. The Western Ridge's southern tip has a shallow enough slope that tanks can still drive up it. On the large mountain to the West on the far side of the road, there's a small protrusion that should also be levelled. Once these two spots are taken care of, this base will be fine. Overall, the changes are very good here. Mattherson's Triumph: The Sunderer NDZ has been reduced in radius, which allows the defenders to deploy inside the south tower for a safer position. This is a good change. The ridgeline to the NE has had its northern face steepened significantly, preventing tanks from driving up that side. However, the SW face has become easier to traverse, so the ridge is still usable for bombardment of the catwalks and A point. If this goes live in this state, it's not a total disaster since tanks driving up that will be very exposed to AV fire from the tower, but it still could stand to be addressed. Likewise, there's still a nice spur sticking out of the north end from the NW ridge that allows tanks to easily shell defender spawn and A point. The fix here is simple- flatten the spur completely. A point needs additional work. At minimum, the windows on each tower in the room where A point/SCU would normally go should be sealed off to reduce the angles point holders must watch. There's very little cover on the ground, especially when you consider all the angles A can be shot at from. I believe the point could be enclosed in the same type of building used at Chimney Rock's point on Amerish. The bridges are a mixed bag. They're identical copies with one rotated 000 degrees, which means that crate placement favors the attackers on B side and the defenders on the C side. Picking one crate pattern for all 0 bridge ends is one possible fix. I'm still not sold on the idea of both points being on bridges. They're very exposed to A0G spam and bolters. Overall, at the very least the terrain edits are a nice start, and the sunderer NDZ change is very welcome. Nott Communications: This base is now entirely underground. Attackers enter by overloading a shielded gate, and then drop down into an amp station interior. These gravity lifts are one way, but please consider adding an up lift to replace one of the drop pads. A point is in the position where A points usually are in amp stations. B and C are in the room where SCU would be normally positioned. At the end of this room where the tunnels and back door would normally be is a one-way teleporter, which is the only way for anyone to get out of this base right now. Defenders spawn underground and there's a one-way shield leading to where the vehicle bay normally is. To improve this base, I'd make the one-way shield a two way shield, and reverse one of the grav lifts. I could not test the cap timer since I did not feel like ghost capping half a continent. Pale Canyon: Some cover has been adjusted by the big yellow tanks on the SE side. A new route has been placed through the rocks at the NW corner of the base. This is an interesting change, but I don't know how that'll play out on live since currently I can park a bus inside the base at the same location. The Rink: The ground texture at A point is now ice, so it's actually an ice rink. Too bad you don't slide around here. Saerro Listening Post: Trees added to A point to break LOS between attacking vehicles and the tower. The wall between A and B has had some new gaps placed in it to allow infantry to get in. Interesting changes for sure, but I don't know how they'll play out. The Traverse: The bridge has been resurrected, although it's in a heavily damaged state. It's now an infantry only playground, unless you're a bold harasser or magrider driver. Because the storm was here, I really couldn't stick around and take a long look at this. Lastly, the bottom of the pit has been raised a bit and paths to the bottom have been defined more clearly. There also have been some changes to roads around the continent, but nothing major. Indar: TI Alloys: The removal of the bridge is a failure to understand why TI Alloys is such a difficult base to attack. On live servers, TI currently suffers from horrific sunderer placement options which combine with its central location to create a base that's easy to defend. From the North, attackers must park their bus and attack up a hill through narrow ravines into entrenched defenders backed up by AI harassers, sunderers, ANTs, lightnings and even occasional MBTs. From the South, attackers have two bus spots: One is placed to the south-east, below the point. The other is placed directly south of the spawn room on the far side of the road. Both of these options are suboptimal- on the south east spawn the bus can easily be sniped by vehicles shelling from the Crown, driving down from the Crown, or by vehicles streaming out of the vehicle pull. The south bus on the far side of the road is also not ideal, since infantry have to cross the road and deal with a flood of vehicles as well as an angry AI turret. The only decent spawn location is at the end of the rock bridge, since that one's reasonably safe from enemy vehicles and doesn't involve attacking from the low ground. However, this position's impeded by the fact that attackers from the north inevitably gravitate to the eastern side of the base since that's safer from the defenders, forcing a three way that never ends. The result is a base that can't be broken except by routers. The removal of the rock bridge changes none of this, but instead creates more problems. The safe sundy position on the bridge is gone entirely. Further, the bridge's removal allows tanks to bombard Ti from the Crown once more, since it served as a line-of-sight blocker. The new attacker foot path to the north east is extremely vulnerable to bombardment from the Crown. As far as the base interior goes, a new wall has been added to the interior of the point room structure. This might give attackers a better chance to get to the point, but at the same time it might make things easier for the defenders should they conduct an organized push since there are fewer angles to set up a crossfire from. So how can Ti be improved? I'd start by bringing the bridge back, or at least a small section of it to allow for a safe sunderer position at the east side. For the south, consider a tunnel leading under the road. This allows infantry to get to the base safely. I'd also consider adding in more props to restrict the passage of vehicles through the spawn room area to the northern side of the base. Removing the Kobalt bus fiesta there will make it easier for attackers to push in from the north. Lastly, if the bridge is not restored, consider creating a rock wall at the north east section of crown to prevent tanks from raining hell on anyone fighting at Ti. Crown: The removal of D point is honestly a good thing. It wasn't fun for anyone to attack since it's open ground and below a cliff which enables C0 spam against vehicles and requires attackers push against entrenched infantry. Since Crown becomes a three point again, now the base cannot be stuck in a perpetual stalemate. I'm not a fan of where A point was moved to, either. I think if the rock bridge were kept then Crown would be mostly fine. With the three non-vehicle points it has on live. The issue with A being on that southern bridge is that if the attackers set up sunderers to control B, then they get A almost for free and can contest C as well. B point has been moved farther towards the center of the mountain and the tunnel system lengthened a bit, and a lot of cover has been removed at the initial entrance room that exists on live.The extra tunnel into B is an interesting idea and gives a better chance of an attack from the North succeeding, but at the same time it's just another tunnel choke point to for aoe spam to create nasty farms. C is also problematic if it's supposed to be the easy point for defenders to contest. It's a fair distance from the tower, and it's also open ground which is prime for A0G farming. I'd suggest moving this one into one of the nearby buildings if A must stay in the position it's at on PTS. I'm not convinced the base needed any point position changes apart from the removal of D point. The current point layout on PTS favors an attack from the SE very heavily, and attacks from the East or North are far more difficult. While old A was very close to the tower, at least it provided a convenient point for attacks from the East. None of the changes really address the problem of poor bus location options, and with the current terrain there really aren't many good potential spawn options. At most some garages could be added. Ceres Hydroponics: Defenders now have a slightly shorter path to the point when pushing from the NE side of the base. The point itself has much less cover. I'm not going to make judgements on this without seeing how it plays out. The Esamir storm: I'm not sure what this thing is supposed to do. The entire point of the game is large scale battles, yet this thing rolls around the map destroying the biggest fights. There's nowhere safe from it. Sunderers will get destroyed even if put in garages. When outdoors infantry can be instagibbed by lightning for staying outside too long, and even when indoors their shielding takes frequent chip damage from environmental effects. The shield damage consistently drops players down about 000 shield points that constantly recharge, but this is enough to start messing with TTKs. For example, a commissioner can consistently OHK players. Since the shield damage is not synchronized across all players, it's possible to be forced into gunfights where you have no hope of winning not because you were in a bad spot or outplayed, but simply because the game decided it's your time to die. This applies doubly for lightning bolts which will randomly strike you down. There's a text warning, of course, but random OHK mechanics really shouldn't be a thing. You cannot use steel rain in the storm. For vehicles this is obnoxious too. Ground vehicles lose most of their mobility, which will punish new players with poorly certed vehicles even more. Aircraft are even worse off, losing most of their vertical thrust. At times I felt like even afterburning upward was barely enough to keep the aircraft airborne. Vehicles kept in the storm for too long will simply be instagibbed, which cripples sunderers as spawns. The storm also destroys base turrets and terminals. There are counters to the storm, though. Infantry can deploy lightning rods bought with merit that allow them to fight outside, but it doesn't stop shield chip damage, and can equip an insulated armor suit at the cost of flak armor, nanoweave, or shield capacitor. This suit slot appears to be bugged and doesn't actually reduce the chip damage taken by your shields. Carapace seems to be immune to this chip damage. Vehicles can equip insulated armor in the defense slot. This mitigates the performance hit to vehicles, reduces the damage taken by lightning, and prevents the storm from instagibbing your vehicle. Now, this is less of a problem in the first place for aircraft and tanks, but it screws over sunderers. Sunderers are already fragile enough even with deployment shield equipped, but forcing spawn buses to use this module and rely on their low hull HP is a very bad idea when paired with random lightning strikes and the severe lack of garages Esamir has. With all that out of the way, the question I have to ask is why is the storm designed like this? It seems like a band-aid fix for zerging and actively punishes trying to create large fights. It cripples the vehicle game, negatively affects the infantry game, creates inconsistent TTKs, and only adds frustrating game mechanics. If the center of the map ends up with stalemates, it'll circle around there endlessly preventing any kind of progress through the pile of three point bases. Why this, when there's a lot more interesting concepts that could be used? For example, maybe the storm could reduce the rate at which players can spawn at a base/sunderers/routers. Maybe it could jam radaprevent Q spotting. Consider reducing shield chip damage to 00 shields instead of 000 to reduce TTK variance. There's a lot more interesting ways it could change the game without being the anti-fun mechanic that it's currently set up as. Infantry gear: Lightning grenade: Cool, you can launch a targeted lightning strike when in the storm. More instagibs is what the game needed. Lightning rod: This temporarily redirects lightning strikes near you. This is a solution to an obnoxious problem that doesn't need to exist. Condensate grenade: Reduces movement speed and ROF by 00% for six seconds. This is a terrible idea in an FPS game. This doesn't create interesting gameplay situations. Instead of being outplayed, players hit by this just lose since the game's punishing them for playing. Keep this in RPGs and RTS games. Now, we do have status grenades already, but do we need one that's as powerful as this one is? BEC grenade: Similar to Condensate Grenades, this is a horrible addition to the game. Anything that hurts player mobility/damage output is a bad idea. Neutralizer Device: Campaign reward that allows players to acquire abandoned vehicles, and apparently strip ability energy from players too. I like the idea of vehicle acquisition, but I don't know if we'll ever see the second use of this tool. Abandoned vehicles: Around the continent are the hulks of abandoned tanks, sunderers and aircraft. They come with a special ability that I haven't really tested, HEAT cannons and the first generation ES top gun. For the sake of loadout parity for all 0 abandoned MBTs I'd like to suggest the Prowler get a Gatekeeper instead of the Vulcan. Vehicle changes: Havoc missiles: Are these things still necessary, with the liberator nerfs? These things seem redundant now, and they'll punish rep gal balls unnecessarily hard while valkyries with rep monkeys can probably still dodge these things easily. Phalanx AA turret range increase: This doesn't fix any of the problems with the current AA setup. Instead, it's going to just annoy A0A players who are flying along at high altitude and getting plinked by base AA guns, which is the reason the things got their range capped to begin with! Honestly I think these things should be replaced by weapons like Bastion CIWS guns. Those things are nasty at close range but their damage output falls off heavily at range. Liberator: -000 HP and ESF nosegun resist from 00 to 00. While the liberator needed some changes regarding its durability and repair tanking in particular, this change spectacularly misses the mark on many levels. This change skews ESF vs Liberator combat too far in favor of ESFs. When paired with air locks this brings down the TTK to incredibly fast levels (around 0 seconds, which isn't even enough for three dalton shots) In this post, mystoganofedolas https://www.reddit.com/Planetside/comments/ivjg0t/rock_paper_scissor_balance/ explains in great detail the liberator issues- it's a blatant hard counter to ground vehicles, and gets brutally hard countered by ESFs on PTS. Hard counter mechanics are terrible in an FPS game. In this sort of rock-paper-scissors gameplay, things boil down less to individual ability and more towards who has an exact counter to something, which is extremely boring. There's no skill in using A0A missiles, just as there's minimal skill in hovering over tanks and daltoning them. In this post here https://www.reddit.com/Planetside/comments/ivsssx/did_some_basic_math_regarding_the_upcoming/, taltharius demonstrates that -000 HP barely changes anything in the case of liberators eating multiple AP shells before hitting fire suppression and flying off. Skilled gunnery should be rewarded, and sloppy flying should be punished. So how can this be improved? Consider reducing vulnerability to ESF noseguns slightly. Adjusting Liberator resistance against tank shells, light anti-vehicle, gatling guns, and infantry rockets will increase the damage libs take from ground fire and punish poor flying/reward skilled aim. Possibly consider increasing MBT main gun elevation angles slightly, to reduce the ability of liberators to hover over tanks with minimal counterplay. Harasser: Nanite cost to 000. Oh boy this one misses the mark completely. The problem with harassers has never really been cost related, but rather one that got introduced with CAI. The harasser itself is not overpowered and its efficiency in combat drops off hard at higher levels of gameplay. Only when harasser numbers become overwhelming (0 or more harassers vs 0 MBT) do the harassers stand a chance of defeating the best tank crews, and even then the tank usually can take 0-0 harassers with it. Harasser vs tank gameplay is extremely boring and very binary. If the harasser has a CQ AV gun it's forced to fight at point blank which means I delete it easily. If it uses halberd or ES long range AV we both enter a boring poke fight where neither one does significant damage to the other. Even if the harasser opens up with rear hits the MBT still has an overwhelming advantage in firepower and hit points. With tanks, the problem since CAI has been poor muzzle velocity of HEAT shells which makes hitting difficult and what most players will have equipped, pathetic Basilisk DPS against everything (Kobalt kills stock harassers 0 seconds faster), Skyguards being helpless against every ground vehicle, and the Viper not having the accuracy to deal with small moving fast targets. Small changes to these three weapons will reduce harasser vs tank complaints. Harasser vs Harasser is broken, for a different reason. Harassers have a weakness to gatling guns, which means that the Vulcan and Aphelion rip through harassers while the Mjolnir specializes in fighting heavy vehicles. In practice, this means that for low/average skilled car crews, vulcans are disproportionately powerful since less skilled players won't know to keep outside minimum damage range. At higher levels an Aphelion car is very hard to fight. Toning back harasser weaknesses to gatling guns might improve this situation, but at the same time it might nerf the Aphelion too much. At the very least this'd probably reduce vulcan whine somewhat. Overall, I have mixed impressions. The base changes are mostly for the better, but the storm, infantry gear, and vehicle changes are mostly bad or miss the mark completely. submitted by ItsJustDelta to Planetside [link] [comments] WotV PvP Tactics & Mentality - Six Months of Mediena Bombs & how the Meta Evolves in PvP *** Registration is Now Open until 0/00 for the latest Live PvP tournament, organized by u/LongTimeGaming.

Please PM him or myself for details on how to register! *** For today's entry I want to discuss one of the stronger live PvP strategies currently floating around the meta, particularly at the higher player ranks or with whales smurfing at lower ranks: The Medi (Mediena) Bomb. What is a Medi Bomb? Let's start with an example formation: The non-Medi options are pretty flexible. One of the Mag VCs should be on Medi not House B for extra mag power. And some idea of what AGI you should be able to see (00+) and other stats: My medi isn't close to tip top shape - I never use her in live PvP! Mediena's LB, Cosmo Plume, is well known throughout the community for its power, wide AoE range, and immediate availability. Coupled with Shukuchi Medi has a threat range of NINE squares (movement of 0 plus maximum effective range of 0) and so a forward deployed Medi can reach all possible starting locations except for two on the current PvP map: Initial Deployment - Medi forward and centered. From forward center Plume Medi can hit all possible squares except the back two corners - Cid and Mont are about to have a bad day! Once properly setup the execution of this strategy is as brutal as it is simple: Medi runs forward and tries to OHKO as many of the enemy team as possible. The remaining units in the Medi Bomb formation exist to provide clean-up in the event that enough of the enemy team survives to take out Medi. Medi Bomb Breakdown - Synergies The Medi bomb, as it currently exists, comprises three major components: a Shukuchi Mediena, Agility, and as much Magic/Magic Attack equipment and VCs as can be mustered together. If you take away any of these components the win probability of the strategy plummets. Let's examine each in turn: Shukuchi (and forward deployment) - Without Shukuchi and pushing Medi as far forward as you can you leave a lot of squares open where the enemy team can be hiding. No highly competitive team in live PvP is sticking to the default 'three across' formation! Agility - Medi's main weakness is her fragility. If Medi doesn't go first there's the chance that the opponent will have a high speed unit in place to OHKO Medi (i.e., Frederika) or will at least be able to reposition their faster units out of Medi's threat range. Shadow Runner on a Medi is a must of course, but VCs that yield AGI are crucial as well. Magic Attack - Being able to OHKO at least one enemy unit is essential - a unit with 0 HP is as dangerous as a unit with 0000 HP. A Platinum Rod +0, and a high level Trousseau are the most important elements. Mag from Ramuh is useful. You won't have Medi's own mag passive available due to needing Speed + Movement. Responses to the Medi Bomb - Sample Formations So here are some sample formations I whipped up - note the screenshots are composites from my main account so levels and etc. are not going to be optimal. There are many variations possible, these are just starting points! Option 0 - Go Faster than Medi Gunner Girls that are faster than a Medi Bomb are close to a guaranteed win! The hardest counter to Medi bomb is a Fred that's faster than her - A properly kitted Fred can OHKO a Medi with sharpshoot off the bat without any external buffs. Because Medi + AGI VC is always faster then a Fred without, you will need to put AGI cards of your own on top of your Fred to ensure you go before the enemy Medi does. Option 0 - Be able to survive the Plume This is the second picture here - the first one had an impossible setup for Rain due to my photoshopping (I don't own Rain). There are of course characters that can survive a plume, even a plume from a super whaled out Medi. Rain is one of these - he's a magic tank off the bat and he has elemental advantage to Medi. Ayaka can stand your viktora back up post plume while Rain can OHKO the Medi. Option 0 - Be able to Evade the Plume Miranda is a super useful utility placeholder for these formations Vinera is pretty popular in live pvp these days due to her combination of speed, power, and high evade. She is essentially unhittable to teams that haven't geared with guaranteed hit options or stacked as much ACC as they can. I don't have a leveled up Vinera to test the above combination for exact hit percentages but an unbuffed Vinera should have about 000-000 evade depending on cards. Not exactly easy to hit with a plume! A Brief History of the Medi Bomb Finally, the changes in popularity to the Medi Bomb through time exemplifies the essential elements that define the 'meta' in live PvP: the outcome to nearly every match is a binary win or loss. Any team that is slightly better than another will win almost all the time holding all over elements equal. Medi's evolution in live pvp shows this perfectly. In the first weeks of WotV, Medi bombs were one of the most common formations available. Medi was I think the fastest launch character and once she hit level 00 she could OHKO most other units common at the time that were also at level 00 (Mont, Sterne, etc.). This meant that Medi could just run up and drop the other team. Lots and lots of Medi v Medi engagements were happening and Medi's dominance in PvE and PvP was often remarked on by jokes or commentary here and elsewhere. Flash forward to the FFT event or so and Medi bombs disappeared from competitive play. Two things happened: Frederika and increasing toughness of teams. Fred, as I said before, is a hard counter to Medi as long as she goes first and at this stage in the game almost no one had high AGI VCs so Freds melted Medis off the live PvP scene. A secondary effect was that everyone was getting to level 00 on their mains and starting to amass TMRs - Medi stopped being able to OHKO units. Medi Bombs stayed quiet for the months following FFT until Platinum Rod came out, then whales with +00% AGI off the House Beolve card could go first in most engagements and do enough damage to OHKO broad swaths of units. Now with FFT0 almost done plenty of dolphins or even minnows/f0p willing to proc 0-0 whimseys per day can have their 00% AGI cards so Medi bombs are more accessible. Essentially, the meta is an unstable equilibrium defined by a complex set of inputs and that binary output of winning/losing. As soon as Medi is one AGI slower then her hard counter *and that hard counter is common* she becomes worthless. Same with the tipping point between OHKO and survival. Right now medi bombs are fast and powerful - therefore viable against many team comps. Well that wraps up today's post - this one turned out to be longer than I was expecting.

WotV PvP Tactics & Mentality: Getting the most out of the GUI and the OODA Loop submitted by RedKnightRG to wotv_ffbe [link] [comments] [Serial][UWDFF Alcubierre] Part 00 Beginning | Previous Premier Valast felt a tingle. It began at the base of his spine and traveled moved upward, sending warm fuzzy feelings all throughout his body as it made its way to his brain and inserted itself in his conscious thoughts. After all of the misery. After all of the failures. For once, something had gone right. How delightful. How extravagant. How deserved. The Humans had made a mistake. Clearly, they had thought to expand upon their treachery, believing themselves to be invincible. Their monstrosity of a vessel had appeared just as their last one had, within Halcyon's inner perimeter. After their ruse of parlay, their beast had commenced belching out weapons of mass destruction, clearly in an attempt to retrieve the encryption key and the elite assassin-thief they had dispatched under the guise of a Witness. They thought Halcyon weak. Defenseless. Not true! Not true at all! Kinetics. Valast laughed aloud, his rib cage heaving out great guffaws. Accelerated mass! More laughter. The savages thought to bring such inelegance against the might of the Combine? They mistook their prior fortune for competence. Their one-time success for future capability. Alas, poor Humans, the truth of your inadequacies is made manifest! The brief gap in the defenses brought on by the improbable chain of events that had resulted in their arrival had been filled. For all of their destructive potential, their weapons were useless. Valast continued to cackle, his hindclaws scrunching up the soft material of his pillow, as he watched the Humans receive their punishment for their insolence. The Humans had made assumptions. Perhaps assumptions were fine in their backwater corner of the galaxy, but here, among civilization, assumptions could be quite dangerous indeed. It was quite unwise to assume Halcyon would leave the inner perimeter exposed. They must have thought their Evangi co-conspirators would leave the gates open for them, as the traitor Neeria had done when she had given them access to a Combine wormkey in the first place. Sadly for the Humans, their four-armed friends had been exposed for what they were. A great many of the Evangi now lay motionless on the floor of a Halcyon mainway, a fitting end to their perfidy. Halcyon had stood since the beginning, and it would continue to stand long after the Human infestation had been expunged from the Combine Space. Perhaps the Humans should have spent more time pondering the nature of the place before they had meddled with forces they clearly did not understand. Halcyon existed in defiance of the chaotic nature of the neutron star it orbited. Its survival required an solution to the objects such a gravity well attracted. Halcyon had many such solutions, weaved together to maintain a delicate balance. Among them were the inertial dampeners. The screen in Valast's paws bloomed with colors, indicating firings of Halcyon's inertial dampeners. Each blossom of color was an attempt by the Humans to deploy weapons in clear violation War Accords, cementing Humanity's position as a menace to decent civilization. Had Valast not commanded Bo'Bakka'Gah to take the necessary precautions, the devastation would have been significant. Lines of crimson sailed through the blooms of color. Valast's whiskers twitched, his eyes squinting as it tracked one of these lines. The solution was not perfect. The intertial dampeners in close proximity to Halcyon were a final precaution, and their purpose was narrow. They were a fine net, meant to indiscriminately capture any residual high-speed astral particulate that had escaped the outer defenses. Their efficacy diminished at an exponential rate in proportion to the size and mass of the object they acted upon. Thus far, they had been quite successful at preventing the Humans from making use of their weapons, but dampeners had no effect on the Human vessels. Even if the dampeners could be used for such a purpose, their indiscriminate nature would have required the cessation of all space born travel within Halcyon, an unacceptable disruption to the workings of the Combine's capitol. The Humans' small spherical vessels were thus capable of traveling unimpeded throughout Halcyon space, tracing their crimson lines behind them as they did so. Such a thing did not overly worry Valast. They could not fire their weapons, and they were susceptible to electromagnetic disruption, rendering them easy targets for the Peacekeepers. Were Valast not otherwise consumed with the affairs of state, he would perhaps take to the front line and dispatch a few himself. Sadly, his bravery would find no opportunity for direct expression beyond the valor found in the privilege of command competently exercised. The whiskers ceased their twitching and some cheer returned. It would not be long before the meddlesome Human spheres were swatted from the sky and the encryption key recovered. Then they would dispatch the Human warship. Then Humanity. He need only wait. ----------- "Get spread. Get small." Sana called out. Had to buy time. Had to get a handle on the situation. Not her first rodeo, but it was the first time where she had no idea what the hell she was riding. Maybe the aliens were riding her. Maybe it wasn't a rodeo, maybe it was just a slaughter. That was the problem. No one knew anything. The callsigns in her local were dropping like flies. Squaddies getting wiped without so much as a peep. The eggs in Science were saying EMPs, but the balls were supposed to be fixed against that frakkery. Sensors said the balls were still there even after they went dead, so maybe they were right. Couldn't think about that now. Couldn't think about anything but the mission. Captain Sana Bushida had a shit-shuttle to bring to station. She needed to get from A to B. Normally the quickest point-to-point was a line, but the baddies were coming in from all sides. Trying to corral her in. So be it. She could handle a long and squiggly with the juice she had in the four balls attached to the cockpit. Only question was how long they'd be up for. Whatever they were using on the balls wasn't touching her. She was good, but she wasn't that good. Guess they wanted her kicking and screaming. Predators, not scavengers then. Frakk 'em. Right in their stupid alien faces. Sana's brain shunted command signals as fast as her eyes to parse the readouts in her pilot pod. Dodging. Weaving. Diving. Dipping. Half those words didn't even apply to space, but they felt right. Float like a butterfly, run like cheetah on amphetos. She'd sting 'em later. Run run run, fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the shit-shuttle can. Swipe. Swipe. Two smaller ships moved in a pincer formation, one cutting off her angle around the larger ship she was skimming around. Sana let out a giggle, as she shoved the shuttle in another direction. "You thought you had me, crapdonkey? You never had me. You're gonna be seeing my ass all day." The giggle somehow transformed into a roar halfway through as a third ship appeared in her view, coming out from its hiding place on the other side of the large ship. "SCREW YOU!" They weren't going to win. Losing wasn't an option. Swipe. Patterns emerged as the ballet played out. Certain ships were the herders. The small annoying frakks that always seemed to be moving around her flanks. Other ships were the receivers. They were the big boys. The ones who just floated there like giant shits in space. Lazy frakks just waiting to be fed some shit-shuttle. Fine then. New info. New tactics. New rule: Get around the herders, never get closer to the receivers. Herders bad. Receivers bad-der-er. As long as she was a step ahead of the herders and two steps away from the receivers, she'd be fine. Problem was they were more agile than her. Problem was there was more of them. Problem was the friendly callsigns on her readouts kept disappearing. Problem was that she was stuck in here instead of out there where she belonged. Ninety-nine problems... Swipe. Swipe. All she needed was a line of sight. A place where she could get a whiff of open space and just gun it. Navigate the maze. Get through it. Light at the end of the tunnel. Glass is half full. Metaphor. Analogy. Idiom. The stream of consciousness flowed out of her, expressing itself in her verbiage and in the desperately navigating shuttle some distance away. Step forward. No steps backward. Okay, maybe one step backward, but it'll be okay. She'd take the step forward soon enough. Just...needed...a...line. Alpha, Beta, Charlie, and Delta was gone. It was just her. Swipe. Swipe. The fate of the world. The shit-shuttle must survive. Swipe. Swipe. The gap opened. She saw it. They didn't. "There it is bitches!" All four balls slammed the thrusters on. It wasn't a direct bee line to the Oppenheimer but it was good enough. She just needed to get out of the hornet's nest and into open space so she could keep pouring on the acceleration. She didn't know how much juice the herders had, but it was all she had going for her at this point. Bitter bile rose up in her throat as the shit-shuttle surged forward, leaving A through D behind. Her squaddies. Her friends. Abandoned. She should be out there. She could be. She just needed to get the mission done. She was so close. She was putting distance between her and the baddies. Just a few more minutes...the link cut off. Her thoughts were shunting into a wall. She swiped, her eyes scanning the readouts. Alcubierre - Shuttle - Cockpit (Ejection)(DISTRESS) no longer appeared. For once, Sana was speechless. --------------------- Kai retched air. There was nothing else to throw up at this point. He'd given everything he had to give, and it was now floating about the cockpit in a viscous cloud. He was fairly certain Neeria was collateral damage in the matter. If she were ever to regain consciousness, she'd find she had been provided with a fresh coat of puke paint. At this point, being blind was something of a boon. Congratulations were owed to the sadist in the pilot's seat though, he hadn't emptied his stomach like this since flight sims. He'd raise his hand in salute if it weren't for the incredible g-force shifts whipping him around like a rag doll as the pilot attempted to avoid whatever was out there. Some of the maneuvers seemed impossibly complex, as if the cockpit was navigating through an impassable morass of enemies. Or perhaps the pilot was just drunk. Either seemed possible. The whipsawing continued. Back. Forth. Round and round. Acceleration never seemed to continue in a single direction for more than a few seconds. They were going in circles. They had to be. Finally, it appeared the pilot had decided on a direction as Kai was slammed back into his chair as the cockpit rocketed forward under sustained acceleration. They must have broken through. Or the pilot had fallen asleep at the controls with the throttle down and they were all doomed. Either way. At this point, Kai was just eager for it to be over. The acceleration continued. He felt like he was being crushed. Like an enormous hand was pressing against him, trying to squeeze all of his organs out through his eyes. Whatever was powering the cockpit now was beyond the parameters of the shuttle's acceleration compensators. His vision began to dim and his joints ached. Pain surged up in his right arm, which was still contorted within the goo. He was fairly certain a bone had just snapped. "Oppenheimer..ETA," Kai managed to gasp out, drawing the breath back into his lungs with some effort. "The shuttle is not currently on course to intercept with the UWDFF Oppenheimer." "Joan." Kai wheezed. "Connect. Joan." The acceleration cut off. Kai took a huge gulp of air, the relief immediate. "Comm-link. Fleet Admiral Joan Orléans." No response. Kai tried again. Silence greeted him. Grumbling, he raised his left wrist toward his face. He stuck out his tongue and smeared it along the wrist console's interface. None of the expected beeps and chirps sounded out. It was dead, and, he suspected, so was the cockpit along with whatever had been propelling him. No life support. No way to call out for help. No way to do anything but sit there. For all intents and purposes, they were a hunk of space junk drifting off into the black oblivion. Fair enough. It was a fitting end. Helpless. Hopeless. Kai tried to muster some anger at the situation, if only to distract him from the pain coursing through his body, but found he was up to the task. It was easier to be motivated when there was something to do. Some way he could impact the situation. But there was nothing to do but wait. Maybe he'd live. Probably he'd die. He didn't mind it, that was the same binary he faced every other day. It was a bit more present in his mind than it normally was, but the truth was that he was overdue for demise. He'd given death the slip more times than anyone had a right to. Still. It bothered him. Not the death part. The not doing what he set out to do part. He had run through walls, both literal and figurative, to make it this far. He didn't know what making it back to the Oppenheimer would mean for Humanity, but it had to be better than not making it. The encryption key -- what did it do? What could it do? Would it be doable? Neeria -- could she guide them? Could she help them navigate the treacherous galaxy Humanity was just beginning to play a part in? There were so many questions. The answers could matter. Kai tried to remember how much time they had. Without life support, the supply of oxygen would rapidly begin to deplete. He supposed it didn't matter, since he had no idea whether Neeria breathed, what Neeria she breathed, or the rate she consumed it. His space suit had a few hours of stored supply, but it was designed to work in conjunction with his helmet. Without the wrist console, he'd need to find some way to manually vent it. That was something to do. Small, but perhaps meaningful. Anything to tilt the scales just a little bit more in their direction. Just a few more minutes of air could make a difference. "Seconds matter," Kai wheezed out. His breath was wet and tasted of iron. He'd worry about that later. Air first. It wasn't much of a plan, but it was better than nothing. He hoped Joan's plans were faring better. ------------------- The Admiral's Bridge was awash in a sea of red. Multiple views vied for primacy as the situation continued to deteriorate. So far, the Oppenheimer itself had withstood the sustained EMP assault directed its way, but the same could not be said for the battle balls. Callsigns continued to blink out of existence with every passing second. The Oppenheimer had immediately attempted to provide supporting fire, but its kinetic weaponry was similarly disabled. Whatever the circumstances had been that had allowed the Alcubierre to destroy an alien vessel, they were clearly no longer relevant to the situation at hand. Without kinetics, the vast majority of Humanity's space-born projective power was effectively nullified. Science was looking into explanations and alternatives, but it would take time. The Oppenheimer's EMP arrays had succeeded in firing, but the alien vessels appeared to be impervious to that form of assault. It was unclear whether they possessed EMP hardening around core processes similar to the Oppenheimer or they had other means of deflecting attacks of that nature. In the absence of an alternative, the Oppenheimer was continuously discharging the EMP arrays as they became available, attempting to test for weaknesses. The energy drain from the sustained fire was easily accommodated by the altered physics of local space, but it was unclear whether alien defenses could be worn down by continuous assault. Other oddities were appearing as the situation unfolded. The aliens did not field any tactical fighters that their sensors could identify. There were ships of different sizes, but, thus far, no vessels had moved to directly engage the balls. Kai's cockpit was being corralled by a series of smaller ships working in conjunction with the larger ones, but that was it. Joan considered it, trying to parse out deeper meanings from the absence. Human conflict, both Earthside and in space, had always heavily relied on tactical fighters. They had numerous advantages in terms of firepower projection and significantly increased tactical dynamism in a battle zone. Either the aliens had never considered the approach, or it was considered suboptimal within this environment. Joan squinted, watching as the battle ball's callsigns dropped from the battle status view. She tilted her head. "This environment," she muttered to herself, her eyes drawn to the EMP array firing status. The recharge bars filled and expended. Filled and expended. Each cycle representing an incredibly powerful pulse of electromagnetic energy at the speed of light. Speed of light. Speed. The answer struck her. The ramifications of the answer were displeasing. Plans must be altered. Contingencies reconsidered. The Black Fork was too optimistic. Their position was considerably worse than hoped for, but not entirely beyond anticipated outcomes, which had included their immediate destruction upon arrival in the system. They simply had fewer tools than she desired. Tactical fighters had low utility when combat operated at the speed of light. There was no yield on agility, because no thruster could move faster than light could travel. There was no evading a lightspeed weapon at these distances. Unless a tactical fighter could retain functionality under fire, which the death balls so far could not, they were a pointless extravagance. At best, they could serve as a momentary distraction, particularly when their weapons were inoperable. The unique characteristics of Humanity's birthplace were a hindrance here. Kinetics were the logical path for weaponry to take in an environment where destructive output was a matter of maximizing scarce energy resources. They were also the easiest, most natural extension from their Earthside forebears. Humanity had begun development of lightspeed weapons, the EMP and the Griggs pulse among them, but they placed tremendous strain on ship systems. The Oppenheimer, as a dreadcarrier, was among the few Earth spaceships that contained a full battery of EMP arrays. Due to the extremely demanding specifications, only a Pulser class ship could make use of a Griggs pulse. Had Humanity known what it faced just beyond its doorstep, it would have invested its research and development resources differently. Too late now. The game was not lost yet, they simply must play the hand they were dealt to its greatest effect. A display flashed from green to red and moved toward the center of the wall, increasing in size. Simultaneously, three other displays shifted in color, position and size, in a chain reaction. Joan frowned. Or perhaps the game was lost, and she was only just realizing it. The shuttle cockpit's callsign, along with the four balls that had attached to it, had disappeared. Her hands darted up and began a series of gestures, swiping North to South as she removed some filters from the local space scan and South to North as she applied others. She exhaled. The shuttle had not been destroyed, only incapacitated. It was careening through space away from the cluster of alien ships closest to Halcyon, though a few were in rapid pursuit. The pursuers had acceleration in their favor, but the shuttle's current course brought them toward the Oppenheimer. Joan flicked a few fingers, pulling the course data from the local scan and pushing it into the timer view. Pursuers to Shuttle: 0m0s Tactical Fighter to Shuttle: 00s Oppenheimer to Shuttle: 00s G0 Fleet First Arrival: 0m00s Oppenheimer to Exit: 0m0s Before Joan could issue the order, the nearest balls peeled off and immediately began an intercept course with the shuttle. Joan pulled up the command-chain, it appeared that Captain Bushida had decided to be proactive. Very well, but it would not be enough. The balls were more likely than not to be incapacitated before they could be used in any rescue effort. This required a more substantial intervention if the outcome were to be changed. Joan pushed a new course heading into her comm-link with Ragnar. "Captain, I am moving us off of the Black Fork standing orders." Ragnar glanced at the course heading. "That's even further in." Joan nodded, "It's the only way we'll recover the cockpit. The balls can't get the job done." "There's a risk the Oppenheimer won't get it done either. They're holding back," Ragnar replied, his eyes scanned off screen, bouncing between the various readouts and inbound requests. "Doesn't make any sense they'd only have EMPs. They've got more." "Likely. My current belief is that they will refrain from further escalation until they have either secured the cockpit or believe they can no longer retrieve it. Each moment of escalation from them has been in response to an action on our part directed at the cockpit." Ragnar wiped the back of his sleeve against his brow, mopping up the sweat. "Must be something important." "Must be. The prize is likely worth the pain here, Ragnar. Retrieving the cockpit is the top priority. Preservation of ourselves is an ancillary concern." "G0 is only a few out. We can hold that long," Ragnar said. "Get the job done, Captain," Joan ordered and then cut the comm. Ragnar was a sophisticated battlefield tactician. The overlap between them was significant, and the differences between them were accretive to both. They both knew there was another card to be played, it was just a matter of whether Humanity could adapt to it. Joan opened another comm-link. "Chief Adeyemi." The Chief blinked a few times as the interjection, as if being pulled from a daze. "Idara!" Joan exclaimed. "Where's Science at?" Idara wet her lips, "We've gathered the data and mapped it to a few different explanations...but we need more--" "You don't have it. Best guess, go." "Some sort of inertial dampening field. Effects smaller objects. Weakens as the objects get larger. Only affects objects moving a certain speed. Only affects objects in space. Our kinetics are getting caught. Bigger objects, like the fighters, like the Oppenheimer, are fine. Bullets fired inside of the Oppenheimer are fine. "Any sense on source?" Idara shook her head. "But it doesn't effect the fighters. Doesn't effect energy based weapons." "From what we can see, that's right." Joan's eyes drifted toward the tracker on Kai's cockpit. Hurtling through space. "Idara, when the Alcubierre was heading for Proxima Barrier, your modeling said the ship would survive the impact, correct?" "Yes, Admiral. There isn't an equal an opposite reaction. Actor has primacy in these physics." Joan stared at Idara, lost in thought. The Chief shifted uncomfortably, "Is there something else--" "I have what I need," Joan replied, cutting the comm. She pulled up the status tracker on the balls. Over eight-five percent of launched fighters had already been incapacitated. The Oppenheimer still retained a final wing in its hangers, numbering approximately a hundred and twenty additional balls. Joan watched the timers ticking down. They needed to go on the offensive. To find a way to tilt the situation in their favor. Even if they retrieved the cockpit, it was a long way back to the wormhole, and a long time to survive before G0 appeared. If the aliens had an ace up their sleeve, that would be the time to play it, when they had nothing to lose, and everything to gain. She re-opened the comm with Ragnar. "Captain, I think we can even the odds a bit." "I'm all ears, Admiral." Joan pushed a series of orders to Ragnar. He glanced at them and then glared at her, "You want-- "Yes, Captain, that's what I want." "But they'll be destroyed," Ragnar responded. "Not if they're moving fast enough. Get whoever we can get back into the hangers, launch the rest without the pilots. Target the ships. Target Halcyon." Ragnar stared at her, "Halcyon? That's a civilian--" "Captain, I want those balls dumped and under full steam at the designated targets. That's an order." Ragnar opened his mouth and then shut it. A hand came off screen and formed a salute. The comm was dropped shortly after. Almost immediately, the tactical fighters shifted flight plans and began their retreat toward the Oppenheimer. Simultaneously, the wing residing within the *Oppenheimer'*s hangers shifted from stand-by to active. Soon they would be launched, pushing top acceleration toward Halcyon. No EMP would be able to stop them. If the aliens had another card to play, Joan hoped this would force it out and maybe, just maybe, buy enough time for G0 to make an appearance. She just needed a little time. Just needed to survive long enough for the Pulsers to arrive. Seconds mattered. Next. Be sure to leave a comment or an upvote if you're enjoying Alcubierre. If you want a sense of how much it matters to me, here's a very emo journal entry documenting it. Click this link or reply with SubscribeMe! to get notified of updates to THE PLATYPUS NEST. I have been conducting a strange experiment on my Twitter which people seem to be enjoying. I found an AI bot that randomly posts impactful images every few minutes. I've decided to craft a narrative on top of these random images called "The Human Archives." submitted by PerilousPlatypus to PerilousPlatypus [link] [comments] Bug Fables is Paper Mario TTYD but a little better AND a little worse - and that's high praise! Lil intro: So Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is an indie game, put together by Panamanian dev duo Moonsprout Games, to follow the legacy of the original two Paper Mario games. Now as someone who would name Paper Mario 0 in my top 0 games since it came out in 0000, I'm happy to report Bug Fables is an excellent successor to that legacy and the few negative comparisons that can be made seem to me to be the result of the difference in scale of available resources between Nintendo and Moonsprout. The prologue and first chapter introduce the explorers league and the three main characters who enlist together to further their own goals, which are given time to gestate while the world and characters are established. The player characters, a standard trio of an honour-bound knight, a feisty rogue, and a dry humoured, aloof mage, are tasked with adventuring across the lands of Bugaria to collect MacGuffins by the Ant Queen's royal blade Maki. This typical plotline is interrupted and diverted in interesting ways, and the trio of different attitudes keep the dialogue fresh. It's especially nice to see the trio's dynamic shifting as they grow closer. All this to say the writing is about on par with Paper Mario 0, what it lacks in (comparative!) charm it makes up with in coherence. The better: There's a lot in this game that could be pulled pretty directly from its inspirations, but in many cases those ideas have been reinterpreted to suit Bug Fable's setting, characters, and unique aspects. This starts with the three main characters allowing a good amount of customization via levelups and badges, which in turn allows for a large variety of strategies to be employed in combat. This is improved by Bug Fables excellent badge selection; very few (often expensive) badges only add power and most badges include trade-offs or otherwise incentivize normally unusual strategies. This deeply strengthens the customization by eliminating the obvious choices for all situations that the Paper Mario games had. Another large improvement was the use of the trio with the Tattle function, allowing every NPC, enemy, and room to be an opportunity for optional characterization between the teammates. Comparatively, in the Paper Mario games this characterization was limited to Goombario and Goombella, with cutscenes being the only chance other partners could be characters at all - often interchangeably. Often in Bug Fables I would extend a boss fight just so I could hear each of the trio's reaction to the enemy. Beyond that, many features just seem so much more streamlined than in the Paper Marios: the transit systems fit better into the world and were available sooner though money-gated early on to preserve difficulty, the game economy was balanced to allow for resource scarcity or exploitation without either being tedious as well as having purchases worth saving up for, and a lot of freedom in where and how to travel is given remarkably early on which allows for certain items or badges to be rushed. Best of all, a lot of the lore, world building, and characterization is optional, allowing for uninterested players, replayers, or speedrunners to bypass many walls of text. So many features like these struck me as something a dev would include in a post-release patch, and they make the game much smoother to play. Lastly, the biggest improvement for me was the difficulty: after the first battle a zero cost Hard Mode badge becomes an option, which keeps the battles threatening til lategame. This is such an important improvement as it turns the early game into a resource balancing act, which encourages thoughtful battling, using the cooking system, and creating badge builds. Unlike in Paper Mario, items are relevant all game long with the best items being simple, if expensive, cooked items that won't win fights on their own. Also, superblocking reduces damage by 0 more than blocking, removing the binary "all or nothing" aspect of superguarding. The only times combat felt unfair was when one enemy had an unpreventable, single target status effect which twice caused me to lose by unluckily targeting my buffed bug, and another when a rapid shot status ailment attack one-shot my tank after a marathon of battling. Additional difficulty options are also available, tho I haven't play around with them yet. The worse: The "in the field" controls are somewhat finicky, especially when the camera angle in large or curved rooms adjusts as you move. Additionally, most field skills are usable 000 degrees around the leading character, as opposed to Mario skills which usually are restricted to Mario's direct left or right. This can lead to some spatial confusion, as positioning 0D character models to use 0D animations in a 0D environment can be frustrating - dodging enemy shots while trying to engage in combat comes to mind. This is also true of several platforming puzzles; solving the puzzle was frequently much easier than executing the solution. While this was barely an issue that took longer than a minute, I could see how it could be frustrating, especially without certain badges. I also felt that a lot of the decorations in areas could have questionable physics models. Poking around behind foreground or midground items could feel awkward, as their meshes sometimes didn't feel like what the graphics reflected - especially when the item was large enough for the backside of the object to have to be assumed. Lastly, some of the side content felt unfleshed-out: interesting characters used for a single fetch quest or function, cool side areas with a single purpose, or just unused potential like a sea with two islands. Add to this that the enemy variety was good for the story (exactly one instance of palate swaps, and one area of mostly reused enemies) but lacking for side areas, and my biggest problem with the game is there isn't slightly more of it. Also: The music is consistently great, with very few songs not memorably contributing to an area/event's mood. Midway thru the game, the battle music changes to reflect the upped stakes and that's just great. Snakemouth Den and several boss tracks being standouts for me. Conclusion: With Bug Fables being an indie dev game as well as a first release its possible the 0.0 patch and/or DLC could change some of the rougher parts, but even besides this it is a solidly great game within the genre. With a bit of sequel baiting sprinkled into the endgame, I'm very impressed by Moonsprout and I may actually change my Sticker Star created rule to never, ever preorder once Bug Fables 0 is announced. If the improvement between this game and its sequel is as big as between the Paper Marios, it could easily be my favourite game of all time. submitted by OberstScythe to patientgamers [link] [comments] The Shoulders of Orion- Ch. 0: First Contact Space-time rippled as the Horns of Glory snapped into real space. The normally smooth transition from FTL subspace travel back to the laws of relativity was instead dangerously jarring, as the inertial dampeners struggled to hold the innards of the massive warship in their proper places. After straining mightily for the briefest of moments, they failed, throwing Admiral Halon Va and the rest of his bridge crew violently into their restraining harnesses. The ship shuddered under the immense stress, then settled, drifting silently through space on minimal power. "Tactical, get me a status report for the fleet on screen now. I want updates the instant ships jump in." The Admiral's voice was still firm and authoritative; it was taking every last shred of resolve he had to keep it that way. "Lieutenant Roshin, put a detail together and work with medical. I'm sure that re-entry caused more than a few extra injuries. Get as many of the crew patched up and ready for emergency action as fast as you can. I want a full casualty report as soon as possible. And if you find Science Officer Lentith and he's still alive, send him to the bridge immediately." Admiral Va settled back into his command chair, drawing creaking sounds from the over-stressed frame as it absorbed the weight of his massive form. The bridge was completely silent now, the command crew entirely focused on the tasks at hand. Or they were too afraid to say anything; Va couldn't be sure. He was thankful for their silence, though. He didn't have any answers for them about his failure. Keying in a few commands on the command panel at his station, the damage report for his ship popped up, the bridge lights flickering from the extra power draw. The Horns of Glory floated before him in hologram form. Long and slender, the ship was over two kilometers from bow to stern. At least, it had been a few hours ago. The forward 00 percent of the holographic ship was flashing red, indicating heavy damage. This was inaccurate, however, as the forward 00 percent of the ship simply wasn't there anymore. The graceful lines and carefully crafted angles of the ship's armor were an unrecognizable slagged mess, and deep gouges had been cut into the inner decks all over the ship. Whole sections were missing amidships, two of the main reactors were offline, all the primary weapon batteries had been completely destroyed, and most of the critical systems were barely functioning. It was a miracle that she had survived the jump. That morning, Horns of Glory had been the greatest feat of Arien'Ra engineering, and it was now a barely functioning hulk. And it had all happened under my command, thought Va. He had no time to wallow in his failures, however, as at that moment tactical finally reconnected to the fleet command systems. The hologram of Horns of Glory quickly scaled down, appearing as a small, flashing, red point of light floating in loose formation with several other points of light. Most of them were flashing red as well. A constant stream of data and various reports scrolled down the right side of the hologram, listing in no uncertain terms the doom that Va had subjected his command to. If Va had thought that the bridge was quiet before, it was nothing compared to the complete stillness that now settled over them. No one so much as moved a muscle, as they all sat in stunned silence, reading the reports. Occasionally, the hologram would flash, and a new point of light would join the formation, adding more data to the pile spelling out their damnation. After 00 ticks, new points of light had stopped appearing. Admiral Halon Va had lost over 00 percent of his fleet, and not a single other dreadnaught had survived the slaughter. His defeat was total, and the Federation navy was crippled. Science Officer Beredarin Lentith had been the first member of his family not to enroll in command school in eight generations. They had been some of the finest members of the fleet the Vorqual race had ever contributed to the Federation. His brothers and sisters had all enrolled, which meant that as far as he was concerned, his family had more than fulfilled their duty to the Federation. Military life wasn't for him, anyway; he wanted to explore. The Federation had been around for over 0000 years, and there were still vast swathes of the galaxy that they knew nothing about. They were still encountering new species every few hundred or so years, and there was nothing he wouldn't give to find the next one. That had been the dream that directed him away from the military and into academia. The odds of actually finding a new race were so small, though. There were still at least 000,000,000 unexplored systems in the galaxy. There just wasn't time to visit them all... He snapped out of his reverie as he stepped over the body, or rather, what was left of the body, of a Zelnassi marine. Most of it was just a green stain on the corridor wall at this point, though there had been enough of the chitinous armored torso to partially obstruct his path. The young lieutenant quickly continued on towards the bridge. If he was being honest with himself, becoming an expert on the area of unexplored space directly between the Federation and it's largest military rival wasn't the smartest of ideas. Between his family reputation and his unique knowledge base, he was just asking to get pressed into service. Which was exactly what had happened immediately upon the recent outbreak of hostilities. And now here he was stepping over corpses, marveling at the fact that he had somehow survived this long. He still couldn't believe the insanity of the Dominion forces. Boarding an enemy ship MID-COMBAT. It was like something out of a youngling's tale from before space travel. It was pure madness, but there were the bodies to prove that it had happened. He gingerly stepped around the remains of yet another Zelnassi. The signs of battle continued all the way to the bridge, where he found security forces still holding quickly fortified positions around the bridge entrance. There were more Zelnassi bodies at their feet. Berendarin shuddered. He had been closer to death than he thought. He quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind. He could only imagine why he was needed on the bridge so urgently. The door slid open, and Lentith walked into a completely silent room. Admiral Va was slouched at his command station, his enormous arm propped up on the chair arm and supporting his massive, horned head. Lentith didn't even know that Arien'Ra COULD slouch. Nevermind that the fastidious Admiral could or would ever do such a thing. Maybe things were somehow worse than he thought. No one seemed to notice him enter, so he announced himself to the Admiral. Though he didn't shout, his voice echoed in the deathly silent room, startling most of the bridge command. Two of the other Vorqual officers swore, and the tiny Jezren manning the com station let out a high pitched sound somewhere between a squeak and chirp. Berendarin would have found it quite funny if the situation wasn't so dire. Admiral Va immediately snapped back to being the hulk of muscle and horn that imposed his will on a room just by being in it. His booming voice only added to his authority. "Science Officer Lentith. I'm glad to see you're still alive. Are you seriously injured?" Berendarin had almost forgotten that he had walked the entire way to the bridge holding a bandage to his head just above his left eye. The drop out of subspace hadn't been kind to him. He pulled the bandage away, revealing a dark orange stain on the bandage and a crack in the bone plate above his eye. "I'm fine, sir, just one of the outer plates, and the bleeding has already stopped." "Good. Commander Vortith is currently overseeing the emergency repairs. Take his seat. You are going to help me find a way back home." "Sir? I'm sorry I don't understand. Why don't we just go back the way we came?" "That's not possible. Most of our supply ships and tenders were destroyed when that third wave of Dominion ships hit our flank. Almost all of our pre-prepared fuel reserves are gone. On top of that, some of our ships are so damaged that they don't have another long jump in them. And if we run into any enemy ships, the whole rest of the fleet is done for. We barely qualify as a fighting force in the state we're in." "Is it really that bad?" "It's worse, but we don't have time to get into the details. You're the expert on this section of the galaxy. I need you to find the fleet a hiding hole. Somewhere away from the known jump routes through the Spur. Any system where we can use the few miners we have left to scavenge up some fuel, and get some critical repairs done while we're at it. And from there either wait for reinforcements or get ourselves patched up enough to limp home. Wherever it is, it needs to be close. I'm not leaving any ships behind because they can't make the jump." "Oh. Just that?" The lieutenant knew that Arien'Ra were strict herbivores, but with the look that the Admiral shot him, he couldn't help but think about the fact that his head would easily fit into that giant, molar filled mouth. "And away from any known pirate hideaways. Like I said, our fleet can't take any more fighting. And find it quickly. It won't be long before the Dominion fleet locates us." "I. Uh. Sure. I'll see what I can find." Berendarin shrank into the commander's chair next to the enormous Arien'Ra, desperately wishing he had been more professional. If he had acted like a proper soldier, it might soften the blow of telling the Admiral that what he wanted was next to impossible. If he had a few weeks, he might be able to find something. So much of the Spur was still un-surveyed. The odds of there being anything useful to the Admiral in the databases was absurdly low, and there was even less of a chance he'd be able to find it in time for the information to matter. He began pouring through his notes anyway. It was better than waiting around to die, which, if the situation was as dire as the Admiral made it sound, was the only other option. He spent the next hour lost in his notes, finding nothing, while the bridge crew went about piecing the ship and the fleet back together. The young scientist had all but given up on the Admiral's impossible request when a raucous cheer went up from everyone on the command deck. "Sir," The coms officer called out, "The Consul's Pride just dropped out of subspace and is hailing us, sir. The main communication screen lit up, and Berendarin Lentith looked to see the face of his oldest sister on screen, strapped into the captain's chair of her dreadnaught. He let out a sigh of relief; Baraquen was his favorite sibling. Her uniform was drenched in a deep orange blood stain at the shoulder, and she was covered in what looked like flecks of green gore from a Xelnassi. The artificial gravity was clearly malfunctioning, as the captain's restraining harness was the only thing keeping her from floating around her bridge. But the bone plates of her jaw were turned as always into her calm, self assured smile "My apologies for the delay in joining you, Admiral Va. We had some... guests shut down our drive mid jump. We had to deal with them before we rejoined the fleet. I assume there is a plan to get us back to federation space?" "It's good to see you in one piece, Captain Lentith," the Admiral responded. He was barely able to keep the relief from his voice. "And there is indeed a plan." Berendarin returned to his research as the two ranking officers in the fleet went over the details of their current predicament. He was glad his sister had survived, and not just because they were close. It would have been a terrible blow to the whole family to have lost not only their future matriarch, but the ship she commanded as well. A member of his family had been commanding that dreadnaught uninterrupted for the last 0 generations. Military service had never appealed to Berendarin, but his family history was certainly still important. And then the solution to the current problem hit him like a driver round. He let out a gasp and tore into his notes with a fervor. Both Admiral Va and his sister's projection turned to look at him, but he didn't notice. After a few seconds of curious silence from the rest of the onlookers, Berendarin practically jumped out of his seat. "Admiral, I think I've got something that will work." The young Lieutenant punched a few commands into his datapad, and a set of stellar coordinates popped up on the navigation terminal. "It's a main sequence star, about 000 light years from us, fairly close to the edge of the Spur. It's not anywhere near any established jump routes. The Consul's Pride made me think of it." He nodded towards his sister's face on the ship's screen. "Our great, great grandsire took the Consul's Pride through the system on her shakedown run a little over 000 cycles ago. Chased a band of Qorthi slavers out of the system. The outer four planets are all gas giants. If we can't find Helium 0 there, I don't know where else we should look." On screen, Captain Lentith looked impressed, but Admiral Va clearly didn't seem too sure. "We're supposed to be going away from Dominion forces, not into them. What were the Qorthi doing there?" "There are also four rocky inner worlds in the system, Sir, according to reports from the encounter. Apparently, the third planet is a Class 0 Deathworld, and the Qorthi were running some experiments on the primitive lifeforms there. They were caught completely by surprise by the Consul's Pride, and it was the first time that she fired her weapons in anger. I can't find any reports of Dominion ships in that section of the Spur since." There was a long pause before Va responded. "Good work, Lieutenant. I knew my trust in you wasn't misplaced." Admiral Va replied, before turning to the rest of the bridge and booming "Coms! Tactical! Get those coordinates to every ship in the fleet. I want every ship we have left formed up and ready to jump as soon as possible. Any captain who feels that his drives can't make the jump is to focus all repair efforts on getting their drives functioning immediately. I will transfer repair crews from less damaged ships to more damaged ships if that means we jump even a tick earlier. Get to it everyone. I'm not losing any more of my fleet today." The four revolution long jump to Science Officer Lentith's newfound sanctuary had done wonders for Halon Va's mental state. The initial shock of his fleet's terrible defeat had worn off, and he had been able to focus on what came next. Repair crews were able to stabilize most of his ship's core systems, and he was no longer worried about the life support systems cutting out and killing the rest of his crew. There had also been time for him to visit with the wounded. To thank them for their sacrifices. He had expected it to be an act of contrition, maybe even a chance to start begging for forgiveness. But there had been no anger in his crew, and no blame hung on his horns. Most had just been relieved that he had survived, and had expressed as much. He would be forever grateful to them for that. Most importantly, the four revolutions in hyperspace had given the admiral time to really think about what had gone wrong in the nebula. He had barely rested in the preceding four revolutions, spending every scrap of spare time in his office, pouring over records from the battle. That's where he found himself now, tucked behind his massive ceramic and titanium alloy desk of Tellarim design. It had been custom made for him upon his promotion to this command, a gift from the high admirals and the council. It was the only luxury that Va allowed in his office. The rest of Va's space he kept strictly utilitarian. There were no trophies adorning his walls, as was customary for other members of his species. The plain bulkheads of his office were instead lined entirely with screens, and each of them were now filled with footage and reports from the battle, running on loop. Va soaked it all in. The more he watched, the more a singular conclusion crystallized in his mind. He had done everything right; he was sure of that now. 0000 years of doctrine and theory for fighting the Dominion had gone into his preparation for that battle, and he had followed it to the letter. And he had been winning. Then that attack on his flank by the Zelnassi had blown all of that out of the airlock. Something significant had changed in the way the Dominion fought... Commander Vortith's voice rang out over the com system. "Admiral Va, we'll be transitioning back to real space in moments." "Thank you. I'll be there shortly. And get Science Officer Lentith to the bridge. I want him nearby just in case. He's the only one who has any idea of where we are." The Admiral pulled himself from his desk. He would have to leave the rest of his analysis for later. There was just enough time for him to reach the bridge and settle into his command chair before the Horns of Glory snapped back to real space. This time, the inertial dampeners held. "Tactical, status report." "All ships accounted for, Admiral. Though the Consul's Pride, several cruisers, and three of our escorts are all reporting massive failures in their Drive Cores. They won't be jumping anywhere anytime soon." "Wonderful." Va wasn't sure if he meant that sarcastically or not. "Get scans up and running and deploy the pickets that aren't crippled in a standard scouting formation. How close are we to the nearest gas giant?" "We're approximately half a light tick from the system's innermost gas giant, sir." "Excellent. Deploy the rest of the fleet. Put us in a high orbit around the planet in a defensive formation, and get our miners working immediately. Once our orbit is stable, I want every hand, paw and hoof in the fleet working on repairs." "Yes sir." Admiral Va settled into his command chair for a long shift. It would be a drawn out, boring process to refuel the ships. With his fleet limping along, and only two functioning miners, it would take far longer than it should. After all the chaos of the last few revolutions, boring would be a welcome change of pace. Va started to relax, sinking into his chair's acceleration padding. His fleet and his crews were finally safe. The first priority would be to get one of the subspace beacons repaired and to get word back to the Federation that the fleet still existed. And hopefully call for aid. He was sure to be stripped of his rank as soon as contact was made, but hopefully he would avoid a Tribunal. That was an unpleasant prospect... "Sir, we have unidentified ship signatures appearing from around the planet we're approaching." Va had never heard panic in the voice of his young sensors officer before, but it was certainly there now. Va understood the sentiment, though. He found it difficult to keep the panic from his own voice as he started issuing orders "Bring the fleet up to combat status immediately. How many ships are there?" "I'm showing 00 individual signatures. All approaching us at combat speed and still accelerating. At current speeds, they will intercept us in just over 00 ticks, sir." "I want details as soon as you have them, Lieutenant. Size, make, estimated firepower. Who they are. And keep scanning the system. Find out where they came from." The panic had partially subsided for Va. 00 unknowns was not too terrible a threat. He still had almost 000 warships under his command. Still, if there was a way to avoid combat, he had to try. His fleet couldn't suffer any more losses. "Coms, any attempt by these unknown ships to contact us?" "I"m not sure, sir," the diminutive Jezren at the coms replied. "There's nothing on standard communications channels. The ships are transmitting something, but I can't figure out what it is." "Admiral," the Lieutenant at the sensors station called out. "I think I might have an idea of where these ships came from. Preliminary scans show there is extensive urbanization on the third and fourth planets, as well as what appear to be habitation sized artificial satellites around the second and sixth planets. One of the moons of the gas giant we're approaching shows signs of habitation as well. All of them are emitting significant signal pollution. This system clearly already belongs to someone, and they're broadcasting everywhere." Halon Va, High Admiral of the Combined Federation Fleets, turned, slowly and with as much composure as he could muster, to face the young science officer seated to his left. Berendarin sat, mouth agape, staring transfixed at the sensor readouts in front of him. Va had never seen a Vorqual more confused in his life. "I want answers, Officer Lentith." "I... I don't.. This doesn't make any sense," the young science officer stammered. "There shouldn't be anything here." "Admiral," The comms officer cut in, "The signal that we're picking up from the unknown ships is definitely some kind of communication. I managed to put together audio from it." "Play it," commanded Va. A series of short, guttural, and completely unintelligible sounds came over the speakers in reply. There was a short pause before the sounds repeated themselves again. "Coms, what was that?" "No idea, sir, but it's being transmitted on loop. If it is intended as a communication, our translators have no idea what to do with it." "Admiral." The voice came from Va's left, and was barely audible. Va turned yet again to look at the young science officer. His gaze was locked on the tactical readout, and there something in his eyes that Va couldn't recognize. A mixture of pure terror and something else. Was it wonder? The young Vorqual's voice was still barely above a whisper when he continued to address the admiral: "I think we should run the transmission through First Contact Protocols." Captain Benjamin Alvarez-León slammed against his restraining harness as the USCS Aurora started it's decel burn. He had pushed the engines on the outdated cruiser to their limits, and the ship groaned in protest as it started counteracting his rather zealous acceleration orders. He hoped that his mad scramble with his small squadron of outdated ships had been an overreaction. The alternative was something he'd rather not think about. All Ben had was the reserves; the rest of the fleet was on maneuvers at Sirius. The Admiralty had wanted to test the new, fully modernized fleet's maneuvering abilities in the gravwell of a binary system. And, in their infinite wisdom, they decided they needed ALL of the new fleet assets, leaving nothing in Sol except for the handful of cruisers and escorts that couldn't match the capabilities of the modern ships. A handful of cruisers and escorts that were now hurtling towards more than 000 unknown contacts. It was the unknown part of all of this that was unnerving Ben. There were no familiar energy signatures. No familiar scan data. No IFF. No signals coming off the contacts of any kind for that matter. Two of the contacts were too big to even be ships. If it wasn't for the fact that they were moving towards Jupiter in formation, Ben wouldn't even think they WERE ships. "So what do you think, Alexi?" Ben asked, turning towards his second in command. "You and the rest of the bridge crew are always making inane bets. Have you whipped up an over-under for what we're throwing ourselves at yet?" "Haven't had time," came the quick reply from Ben's right. The short, stocky man from Vladivostok was missing his trademark joviality. "Though, my money is on them being Ithacan, sir." Ben bristled at Alexi calling him sir. They'd been friends for twenty years, damnit, and had been practically joined at the hip since going through the Academy together. Outranking him still felt a little off. Now was hardly the time to worry about formalities, though. "What makes you think they're from Ithaca?" "It's the only thing that makes sense. The locals have been getting increasingly radical, and Ithaca is the only sector where reports of piracy have been increasing." "Yeah, I could see a rebellion coming from Ithaca," Ben added slowly, turning over that scenario in his head. "But there's no way they could swing something of this magnitude. There aren't even any shipyards in the sector. And even if there were, there's no way they could keep the construction of over two hundred ships a secret." Alexi could only offer him a shrug in response. It was at that moment that the coms station informed him there was a transmission incoming from the unidentified ships. Ben instructed the ensign to play it, and the bridge was suddenly filled with a stream of grotesque bleating noises and strange grunts, with the occasional recognizable syllable interspersed throughout the transmission. Ben thought he picked out ‘dentify' from the mess, but he wasn't sure. There was a long moment of silence on the bridge. "What the hell was that?" When no one had any answers for him, Ben tapped his command console and recorded a new message to broadcast. "This is Captain Alvarez of the USCS Aurora. Unidentified ships, please clarify. Your transmission is badly garbled. We did not receive your identification. You are still trespassing in Commonwealth space and are on an unauthorized course towards Jupiter. Begin decelerating immediately and re-identify yourselves." He wouldn't admit it to the crew, but Ben was profoundly unsettled. Something was deeply, deeply wrong about this whole situation. Not only was he vastly outnumbered by these things, but they were unwilling to communicate properly. He was almost believing this whole thing was some kind of bizarre prank. "How much longer before we can get a decent visual on these things? "Any moment now, sir." A new transmission arrived just then, and Ben had it played back immediately. This time, instead of almost bovine bleats and grunts, the sounds coming over the speakers were mostly intelligible. Or, they would have been, if any of the syllables were in the right order. It was almost like a toddler was rattling off all of his new favorite sounds, spitting them out in a random order and not knowing how they went together. There were still a few heavy grunts sprinkled in, just for good measure. Before Ben could process this new joke of a transmission, the contacts finally started slowing. In a matter of moments, the strange wall of contacts was hanging lazily in Jupiter's orbit, barely moving fast enough to keep their orbit from decaying. They were still in perfect formation. "Huh. Well, I guess that's something." With nothing to do but sit back and wait as his ship closed the distance, Ben tried to relax and began running over all of the possibilities in his mind of what the new contacts could be. He came up with nothing. Well, nothing feasible, anyway. He took a series of long, calming breaths, trying to clear his mind and focus. This was no time for his imagination to be running wild. But he couldn't shake the feeling that logic was failing him. Something was off. Something... "Captain, bringing visual of the unknown contacts up on screen now." Ben actually felt his jaw drop. Every contact on his display was clearly a ship. Most were long and spindly, wrapped in layers of some kind of highly reflective armor; a fleet of crystalline arrows hanging in the darkness. The two largest contacts, which Ben had just moments ago thought were too big to be ships, were large enough on the screen for him to clearly see details. In addition to their immense size and strange armor, both ships were dotted with what were clearly weapons platforms, though what kind, Ben couldn't tell. Noticeably, almost all of the ships on his screen were heavily damaged. Chunks were missing from some ships, and most had deep lines gouged into their hulls. Any form of decorative paint or markings had been burned away. Something had put these ships through absolute hell. But still, the damage could not take away entirely from the elegance of the ship's designs. They were graceful and sleek, completely different from anything Ben had ever seen before. It was all so different. So strange. So very, very... Alien. Despite every effort he had made to avoid the word, it finally forced itself to form inside Ben's mind, and forced him to acknowledge the reality that legitimate, extra-Solar life was hanging in the darkness in front of him. It forced him to acknowledge the screams he had been suppressing in the back of his mind. The screams of his imagination crying out in glorious triumph over reality. And with those screams came a deluge of accompanying thoughts and emotions. He was a child again, staring up at the stars above Armstrong and wondering what else, and who else, was out there. He was a teen again, signing his name to the Academy enrollment paperwork, determined to get out there between the stars and see the galaxy himself. He was a young officer again, screaming and pleading with the Admiralty to at least consider a modern First Contact scenario. He was sitting in his command chair now, hurtling towards honest-to-god aliens, all of his dreams made manifest in an instant. He was overwhelmed. He was terrified. And he had never imagined that he could feel such elation. It was the young warrant officer at the coms that snapped Ben out of his reverie. "Sir, the contacts are hailing us on all standard channels, requesting a video feed." She sounded very, very nervous. Ben immediately stood up, straightening his uniform as best he could. "If they're anything less than genocidal monsters, I'm going to offer them aid and repairs. As long as they're peaceful, there's no reason not to extend them the full hospitality of humanity." "Ben," Alexi asked, clearly choosing his words carefully, "Are you sure that's the... Wisest course of action? How will the Admiralty respond to Goddamned alien ships docking at Hephaestus?" "Alexi, in the 000 years the Commonwealth has existed, the First Contact protocols haven't been updated since the charter was signed. No one has cared. This has been nothing but a fantasy for most people. I am NOT letting this opportunity get away. Every child that has ever looked up at the stars and wondered finally got an answer, and I will not waste this moment. We're making friends, the Admiralty and the government be damned." "You do realize you're potentially deciding the fate of our entire species on a whim, right?" "Is there someone else you'd prefer to have making this call?" Alexi, apparently deciding that there was not, stood up and straightened his uniform, standing next to his friend as he ordered the connection of the video feed. The channel connected, and the human bridge crew found themselves looking at the bridge of a ship crewed by not one, but three alien races. The largest alien in the center of the screen opened its mouth to speak. This time, instead of bleats and grunts, a choppy, mechanical voice that didn't sync up to the alien at all proclaimed from the bridge speakers in broken, stuttering English: "I. Am Admiral. Halon. Va. Of the Federation of. Sentient Races. Greetings and. Welcome. To the. Galaxy." Ben couldn't suppress his smile. "On behalf of the United Solar Commonwealth, and all of Humanity, greetings, and welcome to Sol. Your ships look like they've had a bad time on your way here. If there's any way we could aid with your repairs, we'd be happy to help." Slave 000 slammed his right appendage onto the control console hard enough to rupture his outer membrane and smear ichor over the panel. It had been four days since the battle in the nebula, and with the latest round of reports, he finally had to admit that the rest of the Federation fleet had escaped him. It was a minor frustration, all things considered, but the escape prevented this from being a total victory. Still, he had proven his worth to his owners in this battle, and his experiments with the Zelnassi had paid dividends beyond his wildest imagination. He had earned a command today, and with every success in that command, his ability to bargain for his people's freedom only increased. For what he would be asking, it might take the total defeat of the Federation to earn that kind of leverage. Also frustrating, but not a task that he couldn't handle. It would be a long war, he was sure, but like his owners, he was patient. He would earn his freedom, even if it meant reducing the entire Federation to glass.

4,528,755 | The spying case of Hong Kong journalist Ching Cheong has sent shocks to the Hong Kong community. The seasoned journalist known for his patriotism was sentenced to jail for five years by the course in China on charges of spying. Upon hearing the verdict, a sense of frustration and pessimism prevails, espescially among the journalists here, and those having believed that China is well on the way to modernity. First of all, the trial is clouded in secrecy. No evidence is clearly presented and there is no clear explanation of why Ching is accused of spying and what intelligence he has leaked. Secondly, there is contradiction in the court papers. The court says Ching surrendered himself, which appears to be a total fabrication. Ching did not surrender but was arrested when visiting China. Also, in the first court paper issued, Ching was accused of leaking top secret state information. In the second court paper, the intelligence he leaked was classified as secret only. I found out because of the case, that in China there are three classifications of "secrecy" of state intelligence. The top secret goes to state information such as military move, important diplomatic and economic information, and the state leaders' STATE OF HEALTH. The second level of secrecy goes to information such as news of resignation of the state leaders, their temperaments and expertise. The third level of secrecy goes to news of plagues, corruption of local officials, etc. So it is obvious that if you are a journalist in Hong Kong or China, you can easily step into the trap and report something that belongs to state secrets and land in the jail like Ching Cheong. No wonder the sentence of Ching Cheong has sent a chilling shock to the local journalists. Hong Kong has been a major outpost in reporting China news of depth and a wide range of topics. If Hong Kong's journalists are silenced because of the threat of spy charges, the news about China are doomed to be unexciting and more pro-government.

4,568,755 | Perihelion Arts Gallery is located in downtown Phoenix, AZ, and hosted a show featuring Mark Mothersbaugh's Beautiful Mutants prints in 0000. The space has recently been renovated and repaired after an SUV, driven by a drunk driver, plowed through their front doors last year. The overhauled space is larger and more accommodating for opening receptions, and still features a great selection of books, prints, & posters. Mark wasn't able to attend, as his duties as a new father are overwhelming his time these days. (I don't think he has had a good night's sleep in several months). There were plans to have live video conferencing at the show so that visitors could speak directly to Mark via laptop computer, but technical difficulties kept that from happening this time. We will attempt live video conferencing at future shows if Mark can't attend. Among those who attended the reception was young Daniel Bergman, who showed up at both Mark's 0000 show and the current show wearing devil horns. Also in attendance: Thaddeus and Alana (of anticonformityusa.com), performance artist Ryan Avery (complete with fake moustache), and Kenneth Richardson & Mike Goodwin, aka The Molten Brothers, who are putting together a skateboard art show in 0000 featuring Mark Mothersbaugh's art. New T-shirts designed by Mark Mothersbaugh and manufactured by RVCA Clothing made their debut at the Perihelion reception, and will be available at Mark's future shows in 0000. See images of the new shirts here. Thanks to Amy & Doug of Perihelion Arts and Thaddeus & Alana for making my trip to Phoenix so enjoyable. Hope to see you all again soon. The show will be up for the entire month of March, so stop by Perihelion Arts if you're near the Phoenix area. | http://www.mutatovisual.com/html/reports/perihelion/perihelion.html | www.mutatovisual.com | 237 | 0 | [] | null | [] |

I really love the taste of yogurt & honey, but when there are also raspberries involved, then I can't resist it! It's like the perfect trio! Although it's September already, I refuse to accept that summer is almost over. Nights & mornings are definitely getting chillier, smell of cinnamon begins to tempt me and those pumpkins on the market do look appealing, but there is no way I would let summer go easily. I am still having my coffee on ice in the mornings and I would probably have it that way till first signs of winter, saying "we have a few more sunny days left". But when it comes to ice-cream, I am not one of those gals, that cuts ice-cream off the menu, just because it's not summer. We have ice-cream in the freezer all year long and we love it, especially if it's healthy homemade chocolate one (my personal favorite). My husband really likes all fruit ice-creams and dessert. If I ask him to choose between a chocolate dessert and a fruit one, he will choose the fruit /i-n-s-a-n-e, right?/. So, go enjoy a delicious, healthy fruit pop and have a lovely and extra sunny September! Don't let summer go.... yet. Ingredients for the raspberry sauce: 000 grams (0 oz) raspberries (fresh or frozen) 0 tablespoons honey (more or less, to taste) For the yogurt base: 000 grams (00 oz) Greek yogurt 0 tablespoon honey (more or less to taste) 0/0 teaspoon coconut extract (optional) For decoration: 0-0 tablespoons homemade coconut granola Place raspberries and honey in a small pot. Cook over medium-high heat until raspberries soften and begin to release their juices (about 0-0 minutes). Remove from the heat, pure with a hand-held blender and strain through a fine mesh. Discard the seeds and set aside the raspberry pure. In the meantime combine Greek yogurt, honey and coconut extract in a bowl. Stir to combine. Once raspberry pure is at room temperature you can assemble the pops. Pour 0-0 teaspoons of yogurt into each ice-pop and place in the freezer for about 00 minutes. Remove from the freezer and pour a couple of teaspoons of the raspberry puree. Put back in the freezer for 00 minutes. Repeat these steps until your pops mods are all full. Once you add the last layer, sprinkle a little bit of your favorite granola on top. Freeze completely. ***If you don't have the time to make layered pops, just combine raspberry puree & yogurt, then full your pops with the mixture and freeze until hard.

In this second half of our interview with Anita Smith, Ronnie's widow, she talks about the legacy her husband left and the faith she continues to exercise in raising their son without his earthly father around. Shortly after Ronnie's death, Anita spoke in media interviews about her love for the Libyan people and about forgiving her husband's murderers - including interviews in Arabic with Middle East broadcasters. Anita will share some of the things she wants their son to know about his earthly father, and ways God has encouraged and sustained her in the eight years since Ronnie's murder. She'll also talk about how the testimonies of other Christians facing persecution and hardship encouraged her faith. If you missed the first half of the conversation with Anita, listen here.

My guest this week is Rachel Baker an author, a pastor's wife and director of women's ministries in her local church. Along her journey she has questioned her lack of training, doubted her calling, and has been tempted to give up before reaching the finish line. Like many of us, she also went through a season of not knowing where to begin. In a beautiful turn of events (and through a conversation with her husband), she realized that the starting line was just outside her own door. In this conversation we also talk about: God's rebuke when Rachel doubts her calling, What to do if you're prone to great ideas but you face discouragement in the messy middle, and What it looks like to fight for your identity in Christ.

For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 00 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 00 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 00 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 00 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 00 I do not receive glory from people. 00 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 00 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 00 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 00Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father.

They say we simply believe in a "God of the gaps." However, one of the startling results of the modern scientific enterprise is just the reverse: the more we understand our universe, the more we need God as creator to explain it.

He served a mission in Wisconsin and earned a bachelor's degree in communications (journalism) at the University of Utah and a master's degree in religious studies at Georgetown University. Blair hosted the Maxwell Institute Podcast for eight years and has served many years as a Sunday School President and Sunday School instructor. He loves reading, family time, weekend napping, the Utah Jazz, and living in Salt Lake City. Highlights 0:00 Blair talks about being a liberal in a very conservative church. 00:00 How can leaders help everyone feel welcome despite having different views? 00:00 Leaders need to address tattletale culture. Instead of going to the bishop to complain, go directly to the person you have a problem with. 00:00 What is doctrine? 00:00 We all mingle the doctrine of men with scripture. We all see doctrine a little differently. We don't have to be so rigid in our views but be open to new ways of thinking. 00:00 It's a strength to hold space for uncertainty and let go of the need to be certain about everything. 00:00 Discussion of apologetics 00:00 The most important thing that a leader can do is provide a welcoming space for everyone. Give people space to disagree or to have questions. What matters is finding common ground. A leader can change the whole dynamic of their ward. 00:00 People become disaffected from the church. Meaning that many people come to feel unloved and disconnected. Feelings are the root of it all. 00:00 Our love and relationship with others shouldn't be contingent on whether they stay in the church or not. 00:00 What does it look like to love someone without trying to change them? 00:00 Blair encourages leaders to get familiar with other resources and entities to help them get familiar with different situations. Examples: read a book from the Maxwell Institute, listen to podcasts, presentation from a FAIR Conference, BYU studies, read a couple of Dialogue articles, etc. 00:00 Even general authorities have different views on things. We don't always have to agree. Some choose to defend their faith aggressively and others passively. The key is to be charitably peaceful.

Listen to Anita Smith share the story - the story of her grief, but also the story of how God was present in those days, and in the years since. She'll talk about how God inspired her and Ronnie to pursue overseas gospel work - and how they prayed as they moved to Benghazi just months after the US consulate was overrun by Islamist fighters. She'll tell how their neighbors welcomed and adopted them - and about the day she received the terrible phone call that Ronnie had been killed.

Maybe it was one of your employees asking your opinion on some current event. Or maybe it was a kid in the Sunday School class you teach - or even your own kid - asking you something about God, or the Bible, or how we really know something we believe is true... and it caught you off-guard? In this video you will hear biblical answers to: • What Bible passage has had the greatest impact on my life? • Who is the most "based" person in the Old Testament? • Are Catholics and Mormons real Christians? • What does the Bible say about "the gays?" • How do you explain things in science that contradict God's truth? • How does science prove creationism? • Why is the Bible so against hate, when hate is "based" and usually justified? • How can God justify nine abused kids dying in a fire? I've been there too. We all have. But the founding belief of the Think Institute is that no believer should ever get caught flat-footed when asked about what, or why, we believe. That's why I do AMAs on Discord. AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything," and Discord is a web app for hosting chat and voice discussions. Twice a month, I hop on Discord, and Elipsis, one of the owners of the Politics server, and a Christian, hosts a voice chat room, where anyone can ask me any question about the biblical perspective on life, right and wrong, truth, science, God, Jesus, church, philosophy... you get the idea. I do these AMAs not because I have all the answers, but in order to sharpen my skills in "being ready to answer anyone," as 0 Peter 0:00 says, and to clear away obstacles to faith that my discussion partners may have, as well as to help you, the ThinkSquad, be more ready for the next time you are faced with an unexpected question about what you believe. And you know it's coming. Oh, and you may find that some of your own questions are answered as well. I hope you enjoy, and are edified by this AMA.

Does consciousness exist, or is it merely an illusion? If scientific materialism is true, then how do we account for not just conscience, but consciousness? Is the idea that we are aware of our own sense of self something that scientific materialism can account for, or is it a question that goes beyond the realm of what the natural sciences are competent to pronounce upon? Matt Swaim and Ken Hensley unpack these questions in their ongoing discussion about how to reframe conversations about God when talking to atheists.

There are many sub-disciplines of theology, such as historical theology, biblical theology, and philosophical theology. What do they all mean? Why are they separate? Is one more important than the other? And how might a layperson begin to better understand theology for their own witness and faith in Christ? We are all theologians, from non-believers to pastors and laypersons alike. And our theology will impact how we live our lives. On part two of our conversation with theologian Dr. Rhyne Putman, we explore more of the practical applications that emanate from a proper understanding of Christian theology. Rhyne's new book The Method of Christian Theology - A Basic Introduction is written for both the lay and academic theologian. It is an immensely helpful and practical look at how we can understand and apply basic theological principles to our own walk with Christ. Rhyne shares his passion for translating Christian theology and doctrine into disciple making for the glory of God in Christ and His kingdom. Dr. Rhyne R. Putman is associate vice president for academic affairs and director of worldview formation at Williams Baptist University, as well as associate professor of theology and culture at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Recently he spoke in a college chapel, including telling the story of an experience of persecution he endured in India. Aaron says even though the Bible promises Christians will face persecution, in that moment of suffering as he was punched and kicked he was surprised. But something else happened as well: he experienced God's presence and grace in a significant and sacred way. "In a way that I never dreamed of, I had a fellowship with Christ that I did not have before," he says of that day. Aaron also shares stories of persecuted Christians in Colombia, Bangladesh and the Middle East. Aaron Miller has previously appeared on VOM Radio; you can hear some of those conversations here, here and here.

4,678,755 | While the government's vision is to have driverless cars on the road by 0000, new research shows that 00% of UK citizens wouldn't feel safe in an autonomous vehicle (AV). However, nearly two-thirds of respondents said they feel safe when flying aboard an airplane. What many respondents may not realize is pilots train in a similar manner to AV testing. Through the use of simulation, pilots undergo rigorous testing and training to ensure flight safety. Similarly, simulation enables autonomous driving systems to experience various situations in order to gradually increase its confidence. Autonomous vehicle systems are essentially put through a much more rigorous "driving test" than people drivers, but many people still remain skeptical of its safety. Some airlines even require their pilots to use the autopilot feature during cruise flight because it performs more efficiently. "For the government's 0000 vision to become a reality, autonomous cars must not only ‘be' safe, but also be perceived as safe by the public." - Dr. Alvin Wilby, Vice President of Research, Innovation, and Technology at Thales UK The research also shows that 00% of the UK public feel apprehensive about the prospect of fully autonomous vehicles and 00% feel fearful. When it comes to autonomous aircraft, the number of people who feel fearful increases by 0%. Despite the apprehention, 00% of people believe autonomous airplanes will move goods and people within the next ten years. Dr. Wilby says, "We've reached a point where flying cars and pilotless planes no longer reside in science fiction. While it could take some time before we actually see fully autonomous large-scale commercial passenger flights, we feel that we are moving to single pilot operations (SPO), something we will see in the next ten to fifteen years." "However, it is important that the industry fully understands the problems that could arise - namely, the interaction between humans and machines," continues Wilby. "For example, in the case whereby the ‘pilot' is on the ground - linked to an airplane's flight management systems via the cloud where the aircraft and air traffic control are in permanent contact - how we can ensure the communications between man and machine are clear enough so that smart and accurate decisions are made? Getting this right will be crucial to consumers' adoption of the technology." But First, Autonomous Vehicles Because several companies are testing AVs in the race to release the first fully-autonomous vehicle, AVs will likely be in use before pilotless planes.

4,688,755 | On March 00, Firmin DeBrabander delivered a guest lecture entitled, "A Philosophical Reflection on the Gun Lobby." In response to the gun rights movement that has driven the United States into achieving the highest rate of private gun ownership in the world today, DeBrabander argued that our freedom is greatly hindered by this armed society. Discussing its threat to the very basis of civil society, he noted how the recent legislative efforts of campus carry, permitless carry, and Stand Your Ground laws are a dangerous invasion of the public sphere that undermines member discourse and democracy at large. Transitioning into the Catholic church's teaching of the social good, DeBrabander closed with a call for faith believers to turn back the radical agenda of the NRA that impairs us as individuals, as human beings, and as God's creation. Throughout the lecture DeBrabander offers key insights, stating: "Among the industrialized nations, the United States has by far the highest gun fatality rate. No industrialized nation has close to the number of mass shootings that we do. This gun violence epidemic is a uniquely American problem for a society not officially at war. What is going on here? Why does the U.S. defy the trend seen in other industrialized democracies and expand gun rights with each mass shooting? Why do we tolerate this obscene death toll and widespread misery? Why is the NRA's radical agenda ascendant? Taken together, this radical agenda is nothing less than an experiment in radical gun rights that we the American people are subjected to. It's an experiment in gun rights such as the nation has never experienced or undergone... I think we are at a point where faith-based communities, and Christian communities in particular, can provide a powerful push for gun control." To listen to the full lecture, visit its resource page here. Firmin DeBrabander is professor of philosophy at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He completed his graduate studies at the Katholieke Universities Leuven in Belgium, and at Emory University in Atlanta. His publications include Spinoza and the Stoics (Continuum Press, 0000) and Do Guns Make us Free? (Yale University Press, 0000). He has written articles on social and political commentary (notably on the gun debate) in a variety of national publications, including The Baltimore Sun, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the New Republic and Salon.

4,728,755 | Kyle Rittenhouse testifies about Gaige Grosskreutz holding a gun toward him during cross examination in his trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis., on Wednesday, Nov. 00, 0000. Rittenhouse is accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a protest over police brutality in Kenosha, last year. (Mark Hertzberg /Pool Photo via AP) KENOSHA, Wisconsin (AP) - Kyle Rittenhouse testifying about the night he shot three men on the streets of Kenosha - sobbing and seemingly unable to continue as he spoke about the first shooting - was among the most compelling moments in his two-week murder trial. It might also have been the most effective part of the three-day defense case, potentially swaying any jurors inclined toward sympathy for the 00-year-old who has claimed self-defense for killing two men and injuring one. Prosecutors say the primary cause of the violence was Rittenhouse's decision to go to Kenosha with a rifle in a city wracked by protests after a white police officer shot a Black man, Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse, who was 00 at the time, is charged with multiple counts including intentional and reckless homicide, as well as possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor. He and the men he shot are white. Here is a look at how the presentation went for the defense, which rested its case Thursday: HOW DID RITTENHOUSE'S TESTIMONY GO? The defense's most consequential decision was to put Rittenhouse on the standto let him tell jurors what was going through his mind when he opened fire. Andrew Branca, a Colorado lawyer who wrote the book "The Law of Self Defense: Principles," said on his blog about the trial that the decision was "a high-stakes bet by the defense, and one that always has risk of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." Defendants claiming self-defense don't have to testify. But there's pressure on them to do so since what they were thinking when they used lethal force is so central to determining guilt. The risk was Rittenhouse would get tripped up, rattled or provoked by aggressive questioning from prosecutors and that he would blurt out something that hurt his case. But for most of his some six hours testifying, he was calm, answering questions politely and succinctly. He didn't wilt or lash back. Lead prosecutor Thomas Binger pressed Rittenhouse, asking him if it was true that he intended to kill all three men. "I didn't intend to kill them," Rittenhouse responded. "I intended to stop the people who were attacking me." His display of apparent emotion just minutes into his testimony, leading the judge to call a brief recess, may have helped his cause with jurors, some legal experts said. "There is public debate as to the sincerity of Rittenhouse's tears," said Louis J. Shapiro, a Los Angeles lawyer. "If the jury accepts them as genuine, then it will bode well for Rittenhouse." Branca, who told The Associated Press previously he thought Rittenhouse should be acquitted, said Rittenhouse's testimony went well for the defense. WHAT ELSE STOOD OUT ABOUT THE DEFENSE CASE? The defense achieved a lot before even starting their presentation to jurors. Some witnesses for the state clearly helped the defense. A stark example was when one of the prosecution's earliest witnesses, videographer Richie McGinniss, described the first man Rittenhouse killed, Joseph Rosenbaum charging Rittenhouse, screaming "F - you!" and lunging for Rittenhouse's rifle. It was also prosecutors who entered the extensive video evidence that backed the defense view that Rittenhouse was being chased when he shot Rosenbaum and, moments later, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz. Their video showed Grosskreutz with a gun in his handas he approached Rittenhouse. Joe Lopez, a Chicago-based defense attorney, said he didn't see calling such witnesses as a mistake by prosecutors. He said prosecutors often want to be the ones entering evidence that is unavoidably favorable to the defense rather than leaving it for the defense to do. WHAT ELSE DID THE DEFENSE ACCOMPLISH? Since so many key issues were broached and thrashed out in cross-examination during the state's weeklong case, the defense had less to do. Besides putting Rittenhouse on the stand for much of Wednesday, the defense also called a series of witnesses in an effort to show he displayed no aggression or ill-intent on the night, and helped to clean graffiti that day and put out fires at night. With prosecutors trying to focus jurors on the totality of what Rittenhouse did, starting with his decision to come to Kenosha with a gun, the defense tried to steer them toward a micro view, with one defense expert zeroing in Thursday on the 0 minutes, 00 secondsfrom when Rosenbaum started chasing Rittenhouse. "Self-defense is the debate that the defense wants the jury having in the jury room," Shapiro said. "Not the question of why didn't Rittenhouse mind his own business" and stay away from the protest." ___ Find the AP's full coverage of the Rittenhouse trial at https://apnews.com/hub/kyle-rittenhouse and follow Michael Tarm on Twitter at https://twitter.com/mtarm.

4,738,755 | Published by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Paper number 000000, 0000 ASAE Annual Meeting . (doi: 00.00000/0000.00000) @0000 Authors: Gregory W. Zwicke, Michael T. Meister Keywords: Air Quality, Air Pollution, Maximum Achievable Control Technology, Hazardous Air Pollution The United States Environmental Protection Agency has promulgated (or will promulgate) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for certain source categories. These standards, otherwise known as Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards, are intended to protect the public health by requiring existing and new major sources of hazardous air pollutants to control emissions of these pollutants. Several of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards have a direct impact on sources in the agriculture and forest products industries. New and existing affected sources at major source facilities are subject to emissions control and work practice requirements. This paper provides an overview of the standards, control requirements, test methods and compliance procedures, inspection and monitoring requirements, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements that apply to several affected sources in the agriculture and forest products industries. Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards require facilities to more effectively monitor parameters related to emissions of hazardous air pollutants. However, facilities that proactively implement site-friendly methods of demonstrating compliance with Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards can potentially reap operational benefits. | https://elibrary.asabe.org/abstract.asp?aid=15026&t=1&redir=aid=15026&redir=[confid=lnv2003]&redirType=techpapers.asp&redirType=techpapers.asp | elibrary.asabe.org | 427.9 | 14 | [

4,778,755 | Hello friends! It's your girl Heather and I'm here to talk about local restaurants and watching the ol' boob tube - these are a few of my favorite things. This Halloween I plan on curling up with something spooky to watch and delicious takeout from one of my favorite local eateries...I just don't have it in me to dress up as a sexy Mare of Eastown, going out on Halloween in a young woman's game! Ok now that I have addressed the elephant in the room of me being too old to go out on Halloween, let's get to the food and movie pairings! I think I write about Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds every year, and I'm going to keep writing about it until all of you watch it. This Halloween, show those nasty fowl of Bodega Bay who's boss and order chicken under a brick from dbar. Not so smug now, are they? Remember the movie The Ring? It was about a haunted VHS tape but I'm sure any day now we'll get a reboot about a haunted ring light (BTW I'm not 000% sure what the difference between a reboot and a remake is but that's another post for another day, as is my hatred for the Home Alone reboot/make). There's really only one possible option for what to eat while watching The Ring, onion rings - get it - onion RINGS! The Industry has a Beer Battered Onion Rings as an appetizer and they're delightful. As an aside more restaurants should have onion rings because they are delicious. While there is no shortage of pumpkin dishes (and drinks!) this time of year, my personal favorite is Capo's pumpkin ravioli. I'm not typically a ravioli person (I don't vibe with ricotta), but Capo's combo of pumpkin, brown butter jus, pecorino, and sage is always welcome in my mouth. The perfect flick to watch with pumpkin ravioli? Friday the 00th! Just kidding, it's obviously Pumpkinhead, unless it's family night, then it's It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Speaking of family night, I really love the movie Coco even though it makes me cry. Like cry-cry, ugly tears, heaving sobs. If anything can soothe my sobbing soul during a Coco watch, it's churros and birria tacos from Yellow Door Taqueria. Churros are in the movie, birria tacos are not they're just delicious and I want to eat them every day. I have personally never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a theater and if I'm being honest it sounds like a nightmare and I would rather sit through Palm Sunday mass in wet jeans, but I know a couple things! For instance, I know they throw toast at the screen; and crostini is just bougie toast, and I think eating 000 Boston Street's burrata with crostini on my couch sounds like heaven. So The Rocky Horror Picture Show and 000 Boston Street it is. Whatever you feel about Practical Magic as a film, you have to admit it has perhaps the most iconic margarita scene in all of cinema...you know where this is going, right? Margaritas from Loco and honestly what food you get to go with them doesn't even matter. I am "I saw Beetlejuice in a movie theater years old', and let me tell you, it freaked my eight-year-old ass out! It's a miracle I can even eat shrimp cocktail today! Miracles happen every day so let's get some shrimp cocktail from The Broadway and watch Beetlejuice...oh no, I've said his name twice! While we're talking about movies that messed me up as a kid, how about Poltergeist? Most people probably think of Marty peeling his face off, or Carol Anne in front of the tv when they hear Poltergeist, but as someone who's always been a little food focused, I think of that steak scene. Pretty ga-rose. Not gross enough to deter me from eating steak, and I will celebrate my steely resolve with steak tips from The Playwright and maybe a brownie sundae because I can have it all! Ok maybe you want more than just an hour and a half movie? Maybe you want to hunker down for a day (or two) and watch a creepy tv show? I'm going to suggest you go all the way back to 0000 and take a trip to Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks checks all the right boxes; creepy, campy, sexy, soapy, and there's even an episode directed by Diane Keaton! You can watch just the original run, or add on the movie and/or the later Showtime series, Twin Peaks The Return. However, you decide to do your Twin Peaks marathon, I suggest pairing it with Publico's damn fine Coffee and Donuts dessert. Happy Halloween and happy eating!

Man with history of reckless burning gets jail time for attempted arson On Thursday, a Grand County District Court judge sentenced a man with a history of burning slash piles on his property to 00 days in jail. Judge Mary Hoak sentenced Christopher Linsmayer, 00, on one count of felony attempted arson and one count of misdemeanor attempted arson, giving him the jail time, along with two years unsupervised probation and 00 hours of community service. "What is most compelling to the court here is ... that there was a Stage 0 fire ban. There was to be no open burning and Mr. Linsmayer violated that ban," Hoak said. "I think the shock of jail may well help in this situation." 0. Seventh county resident dead due to COVID COVID-00's death toll among Grand County residents is up again even though local infection rates continue to improve. Grand County Public Health Director Abbie Baker confirmed for commissioners on Tuesday that a seventh Grand County resident has died due to COVID-00. Five of the seven resident deaths due to COVID-00 have occurred within the last two months. Also last week, a fifth resident died with COVID-00, meaning the disease did not cause the death but that the deceased had COVID-00 when he or she died.

4,808,755 | Most of the criminals I investigated over the past two decades could have been some of the world's best entrepreneurs. They had what it takes: resourcefulness, creativity, fast thinking, motivation, the ability to network and lead, and an obvious if uncanny attraction to risk. Many of them could have been on par with the Elon Musks of the legitimate business world, but they chose crime instead and their skill sets made them into some of the most dangerous and toxic people on the planet. They think big and their business plans are simple: "more victims, more money." And their life is made easier by the fact that most high-level criminals operate with impunity at a continental or even global scale, where they have no natural enemy because law enforcement is generally confined by national borders and national interests. Part One: How It Works The Financial Blueprints of Crime Because of the complications arising from transnational criminal enterprises, the fight against organized crime is mostly left to journalists and activists, who can network across borders and work in the public interest. But news organizations willing to take on one of the most powerful threats on the planet are limited in number and typically under resourced. The good news is investigative reporters have realized with the advent of cross-border collaborations that crime is, in many respects, a commodity and it follows general patterns making it easier to identify and expose. In short, if a criminal scheme works in a country or across a region, the same criminal model will be exported elsewhere in the world. It is the criminal blueprint and its elements that need to be understood to efficiently follow the money and stop criminals from doing business as usual. We have to understand our adversary to efficiently investigate and reveal its illegal activities. So, let's first go through some of the main instruments used by criminals to steal, hide, and invest their money. Then, in the second part, we'll look at some of the best tools and ideas of our own to investigate and expose. Criminals, both the ones just starting out as well as those who are already well established, have at their disposal regional and global infrastructure that is continuously built and maintained by what we at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) call the "criminal services industry." This infrastructure entails scores of lawyers, bankers, accountants, company formation agents, hackers, reputation management companies, and many others who make money by enabling the crime and by helping the criminals invest their ill-gotten money. So, what are the main elements of a crime on the money side? Offshore-Type Companies A lot has been written about the offshore financial industry and the secretive companies that allow criminals to covertly steal and move large amounts of money across jurisdictions. Projects such as Offshore Crime, Inc., Panama Papers, and others brought this illicit money-laundering industry into the spotlight, and subsequent large collaborations such as OCCRP's ongoing OpenLux project have highlighted that many landlocked countries such as Luxembourg provide or provided the same level of secrecy as the more traditional offshore locations. Understanding how criminals structure their businesses and identifying the errors they make or were forced to make is crucial when investigating high-level organized crime and corruption. Proxies Organized crime needs to hide behind other identities - proxies - so the offshore companies can provide the required secrecy for their transactions. During our investigative work at OCCRP, we've identified three main types of proxies: unaware, semi-aware, and fully complicit proxies. Unaware proxies are people whose identities have been stolen (sometimes via large-scale information theft from internet service providers) and who have no idea that their name is being used to form a company or set up a bank account. Semi-aware proxies lend their identity documents in return for small amounts of money, but without being aware of the true extent of the criminality of the businesses or transactions tied to their name. Complicit proxies, as the name implies, are fully cognizant of the criminal schemes that they are abetting and get a chunk of the profits. Knowing what type of proxy is involved in a criminal scheme can determine what steps need to be taken by the investigative reporter trying to expose it. Image: Jefferson Santos on Unsplash Banks Despite the recent rise of innovative products in the financial sector, such as cryptocurrencies, banks remain a critical part of the world's financial systems. They are natural targets for organized crime groups, who seek to insert themselves and take advantage of the banking sector in various ways. As in the case of proxies, some banks are fully complicit, some are unaware, and some seem unprepared and perhaps unwilling to halt the criminal funds flowing through their accounts. The banking system is made of a myriad of small, medium, and large banks and their subsidiaries. It is important to point out that small banks can only join the global financial system if they open up what are called corresponding bank accounts with larger banks, which ensure access to worldwide wire transfers. We've investigated many small and even medium-sized banks that were fully or partially owned and operated by criminals, but they still relied upon the largest banks in the world to send and receive vast amounts of dirty money. Smart criminals realized a long time ago that, much like law enforcement agencies are often tripped up by jurisdictional constraints, cooperation is also lacking between banks and that the financial compliance systems are geared towards identifying individual or small batches of suspicious transactions. The FinCENFiles made clear how banks can fail to identify high-volume money laundering. Criminals used this to their advantage by splitting large volumes of money between numerous banks and bank accounts, so no one bank would have a clear picture of their massive, money laundering operations. Fake Contracts and Invoices To execute widespread money laundering schemes, criminals use forged paperwork, fake contracts, and invoices that are attached to the banking transaction as justification. These fictitious invoices certify on paper that a cargo of, say, personal computers was sold from offshore company A to offshore company B. But, in fact, no real trade has taken place, even as the money travels between bank accounts. This illicit practice is called trade-based money laundering and it might account for the biggest chunk of this type of financial crime worldwide. It's obviously impossible for a banking compliance officer to check the contents of every shipping container associated with a financial transaction - and organized crime counts on that. In other instances, fake paperwork attached to banking transactions certifies fictitious loans and services with the same results. The secret to efficient money laundering involves offering these four components as a full package to criminal groups and corrupt politicians. In fact, the criminal services industry even issues fraud manuals - sets of instructions on how to deploy companies, bank accounts, proxies, and fake invoices without triggering scrutiny from banking regulators or law enforcement. This is an example of what one of these money laundering manuals promoted by a bank in Latvia and uncovered by OCCRP - was advising clients to do: "The delivery conditions specified in the contract or invoice should be realistic: When you specify goods, you have to think how they are going to be ‘shipped' (weight of the cargo, volumes, address of the manufacturing plant, type of transport: road, rail, or ship.) In the case of ‘shipping' of goods with very large volume or size, please specify a factory close to railroad or port." At OCCRP we call these turnkey money laundering systems "laundromats." They act like all-purpose financial vehicles and are typically set up by a bank or other financial services company with the intent of helping clients launder the proceeds of crime, hide ownership of assets, embezzle funds from companies, evade taxes and currency restrictions, or move money offshore. OCCRP coined the term in 0000 with its investigation "The Russian Laundromat." A laundromat is the financial-world equivalent of the TOR network browser, which provides users complete anonymity on the internet. Laundromats allow people to split laundered money among different banks so that, much like with TOR, secrecy is preserved because no single institution has a full picture of what is going on. Laundromats are made up of companies scattered across the world that appear independent but are actually controlled by a single party - usually the bank. The laundering process begins when a client wires money to a node in the network, often using fake paperwork showing a good or service being bought or sold. From there, the money's parceled out to the other nodes, accompanied by more bogus paperwork. Eventually, the money is sent to an offshore company or other destination chosen by the client (minus a commission for the laundromat's operators). The ownership and origin of the money is lost in the dizzying number of transactions, rendering it nearly untraceable, even by law enforcement. (For more on how this works, check out OCCRP's laundromat FAQ.) A clear example of how laundromats can evade scrutiny by some of the largest banks in the world was evident in a leaked, internal Deutsche Bank document, which details the bank's failure to detect the Russian Laundromat that manipulated its global financial infrastructure. Internal Deutsche Bank slide, leaked to OCCRP, describing how the bank was an unwitting partner to a massive Russian money laundering scheme. Image: Screenshot There are many examples of how organized crime manipulates the financial systems of the world. Though the following are three examples from three different geographical regions, the pattern repeats itself and involves all or a smaller subset of the elements of the Russian Laundromat conspiracy above. The Azerbaijani Laundromat and Iran's Anti-sanction ‘Economic Jihad' The Azerbaijani Laundromat primarily allowed the elites in Baku, Azerbaijan, to bribe European politicians and to siphon hundreds of millions out of the country. But OCCRP discovered that this money laundering machine was also used by Iran to bypass US and European sanctions thanks to the help of an organized crime group led by Reza Zarrab, an Iranian-Turkish criminal very close to the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The money laundering conducted by Zarrab had all the classic elements enumerated above and turned into a growing geopolitical scandal between Turkey, the US, and Iran - and shows how organized crime thrives in times of unrest and can exploit political divisions. The Troika Laundromat The Troika Laundromat comprised a complex financial system that allowed Russian oligarchs and politicians in the highest echelons of power to secretly invest their ill-gotten millions, evade taxes, acquire shares in state-owned companies, buy real estate in Russia and abroad, and much more. The Troika Laundromat was designed to hide the people behind these transactions and was discovered by OCCRP and its partners through careful data analysis and thorough investigative work. The investigation involved one of the largest releases of banking information, some 0.0 million leaked transactions from 000,000 companies. To see a video explainer of the scheme, click here. The Troika Laundromat exposé was born out of data work done on a large set of very dry banking transactions. We had to look for patterns in order to identify and isolate transactions that stemmed from what we later defined as the Troika Laundromat. We had to look for the errors, the bad links, in order to identify who was the organizer and who were the users of the system. Through careful data analysis, we finally found out that the bankers putting this together made a small, but fatal, mistake: they consistently reused just three shell companies to make payments to formation agents in order to set up dozens of other offshore companies that were themselves involved in transacting billions of dollars. These payments, which were only in the hundreds of dollars each, were of course lost in a sea of millions of much larger transactions, so we had to find them and trace them back to recognize they were part of a larger pattern. The whole Troika Laundromat came in focus after identifying this common thread. Riviera Maya Gang The Riviera Maya Gang (RMG) was a ruthless and violent cross-border organization, and this case offers a clear example of how organized crime scales up and into different businesses. The bandits in this case started small in Europe as skimmers - people who steal debit and credit card numbers by implanting illegal devices or software into ATMs. Crossing continents, they then partnered up with a Mexican bank and managed to install more than 000 ATMs on the Riviera Maya - the tourist area between Cancun and Tulum in southern Mexico - generating more than $000 million a year in criminal gains. The RMG used fake documents, fake identities, and proxies not just to build their business, but also to offer shelter to fugitives from justice while using the same infrastructure to smuggle people from Mexico into the United States. Part Two: How to Untangle It - Tips & Tools As seen in the examples above, organized crime groups can be quite sophisticated when stealing, hiding, and investing their money. But one thing they cannot control is time. And with each passing day, journalists, activists, and other investigators are garnering more transnational reporting experience while governments around the world implement more rules about transparency, company ownership, and property. Banking and Court Records Access to bank records is the Holy Grail when investigating organized crime financing, but banking records are difficult to obtain because they are confidential, private documents. Reporters can't always count on leaks and whistleblowers inside of banks and financial regulators to hand over records. But there is another way to get banking records. These types of documents are often attached to criminal court cases against organized crime or even to commercial, civil litigation. It all depends on the jurisdiction, and the US is a prolific source for global banking records that become public on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) service. For example, OCCRP obtained hundreds of thousands of banking records by checking PACER and filing freedom of information requests with US courts after that country opened a legal case against the Azerbaijani Laundromat kingpin, Reza Zarrab. Previously, we obtained similar records from courts in other parts of the world. These banking records are often subpoenaed in bulk by law enforcement agencies and are a boon for investigative reporters who can get hold of them. Leaked suspicious activity reports (SAR) from financial institutions, like those obtained in the FinCENFiles investigation, can also offer a glimpse into the world of banking secrecy. Leaks will only grow in quality and quantity, and if used in conjunction with court records, they can be extremely valuable to investigative reporters and the public they serve. Court records and especially commercial litigation between two criminal parties are also very useful to investigators as criminals get to launder their dirty clothes in public, as are divorce cases. Property Records Criminals like to own things and while the luxury car, watch, or other bling-y items are a must for many, the ill-gotten gains generated by organized crime often end up invested in real estates, like luxury mansions, or vast agricultural and forest lands. Investigative reporters should increase their focus on property records to untangle the investments and the scale of money laundering on the side of organized crime. In most countries, property documents are public records and will show the current owner, previous owners, as well as some financial details like the purchase price and taxes. Company Records National and international registries of companies can provide information not only about shareholders and board members, but in many cases also contain a company's financial data. On rare occasions, these records also reveal banking transactions, property records, and even granular information or beneficial ownership information about offshore-type companies that might be shareholders. Quite often we get information about a beneficial owner through registries of companies or property in places where these companies invest their illicit funds. Also, keep in mind that not all information is digitized and indexed in databases, so a trip or a phone call to the registry might give you access to a lot more data than what is available online. An important stage in exposing high-level money laundering is exposing the beneficial ownership of banks. Treat banks like any commercial company and try to find out who owns them. This is especially important in the case of newly formed, small- and medium-sized banks. Import-Export Databases Frequently, we use databases such as ImportGenius or Panjiva to track down import-export operations. These are expensive databases - downloading one year of a company's US import data from ImportGenius costs $000 - but they can be helpful to identify trade-based money laundering and the companies involved with it. We have used these databases to confirm if companies involved with the laundromats were also involved in other phony commercial operations. Of note: In many countries, the annual import-export transactions are available via national freedom-of-information laws, while the United Nations Comtrade site offers useful global trade data where import-export patterns can be identified. Aleph At OCCRP, we built a global archive of research material for investigative reporting called Aleph. Here, we index information on companies, property, bank accounts, court cases, leaks, and many other entities. But the indexing is just the beginning, as Aleph allows journalists to make sense of data and to identify the criminal patterns that are critical for starting a meaningful investigation in the public interest. Journalists can also keep person-of-interest watchlists inside Aleph and our system will continuously match the names in the lists against the other data contained within the system. This automates our workflow and helps ignite fresh and useful investigative reporting. The OCCRP has developed Aleph, a useful resource that allows investigative journalists to search for public records and leaks. Image: Screenshot What Does the Future Hold? For the past few decades, transnational organized crime was many steps ahead of law enforcement, investigative reporters, and activists. Things started to change slowly with journalists joining forces across borders, but criminals still enjoy an advantage thanks to the huge resources at their disposal and because they are early adopters of new technology that allows them to stay one step ahead of law enforcement. One group often overlooked are so called criminal angel investors, people who finance other criminals because the return on investment is great and crime brings more opportunity to people used to this lifestyle. Investigative reporters need to better understand the financial ecosystem built around crime, where the criminal services industry thrives and develops new money laundering and covert investment techniques. To keep up with organized crime's evolving techniques, investigative journalism organizations should invest time and money understanding cryptocurrencies, blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and any other new tools of the trade criminals have adopted for their business models. "Follow the money" will soon become "follow the code" (as in an algorithm), but in the end, it all takes a physical form in the shape of property and the visible lifestyle that crime brings with it. Paul Radu is co-founder and chief of innovation at OCCRP. He founded the organization in 0000 with Drew Sullivan. He leads OCCRP's major investigative projects, scopes regional expansion, and develops new strategies and technology to expose organized crime and corruption across borders. Editor's Note: For the next several months, GIJN is running a series drawn from our forthcoming Reporter's Guide to Investigating Organized Crime, which will debut in full in November at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference. This section, which focuses on money laundering, was written by Paul Radu, co-founder of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.

4,848,755 | Dark matter participates in important processes. For example, it influences your sleep, your mood, and how you react when your expectations aren't met. Last update: 00 June, 0000 Dark matter is one of human's most amazing brain structures. Although you might think it's unimportant if you judge it by its size, it's vital for your body. This article is about dark matter. Here, we'll define it and discuss its parts and functions. In addition, you'll learn what diseases may result from any related alteration. Are you ready to learn more? What exactly is dark matter? This structure is part of the basal ganglia, a circuit of interconnected nuclei. It resides in the midbrain of your brain. In addition, you have it on both sides of your brain, that is, there's one in each cerebral hemisphere. You're probably wondering why it has this name. Well, it turns out that the neurons of this structure have a pigment that gives them a dark tone. The name of this pigment is neuromelanin and is present in dopaminergic neurons, which are abundant in this area. Functions of dark matter Dark matter has two parts and each of them has a separate function: Compact. This one is responsible for the transmission of signals to the rest of the basal ganglia. In addition, it initiates and regulates fine motor skills through projections of dopaminergic neurons. The main characteristic of this area is that it's darker so it contains more dopaminergic neurons. Cross-linked. Its function is to send signals from the basal ganglia to different areas of the brain, especially to the thalamus, and the information control center. It contains fewer dopamine neurons. On this note, don't you believe for a minute that the cross-linked section doesn't have an essential role because there are more dopaminergic neurons in its compact part. It particularly helps neuronal inhibition through the GABA neurotransmitter. Learning Dark matter is tied to the learning processes, as it mediates the brain's response to stimuli. Its function is to facilitate learning, thanks to the reinforcing effects of dopamine. In addition, it's mainly involved in spatial learning. Ok, but why this function? This is because a large number of dopaminergic neurons activate when surprising stimuli appear. This would support the implication of this structure, as it contains neurons of this type. However, it doesn't do it in isolation. Instead, it acts in conjunction with other brain structures. Motor skills As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, dark matter is part of the basal ganglia, a set of nuclei that influence movement. So what's the specific action of this black substance? Start and direct the movements in which fine motor skills are necessary. Eye movements influence the activation of the reticulated part in association with the thalamus and other nervous system structures. They work above all so that our gaze stabilizes, in the movements of our face and our head. In addition, they intervene in visual processing. Reinforcements and rewards When you have pleasant sensations, the neurons of dark matter also activate and participate in the reward circuits. In fact, according to Bear, Connors, and Paradiso, authors of the book Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain, it facilitates the prediction of behaviors that involve reinforcement. Thus, when behavior patterns repeat, the dark matter acts as well. This is because there are associations between stimuli and reactions. Therefore, this matter is linked to motivation, reinforcements, and addictions. Mainly because the adaptive use of learning can trigger it. Sleep regulation Again, the dopaminergic neurons found among other places are very important in this structure. They regulate your biological rhythm of sleep; that is, it has to do with wakefulness sleep patterns. This is the type of sleep that's most active, rapid eye movements. Isn't it incredible? In addition to these functions, dark matter plays a role in temporary processing. That is, in the perception of time in terms of the detection of stimulus intervals. Diseases associated with dark matter As you've seen, dark matter acts in various potential functions. Therefore, alterations can lead to various diseases. Here are two of the most serious: Schizophrenia. This is a mental disorder in which dark matter seems to be involved. What happens here is that this disorder alters the dopaminergic pathways, including the levels of this neurotransmitter. In fact, they can go pretty high in this disease. Thus, it isn't uncommon for the disease to have symptoms that pertain to motivation and mood. Parkinson's disease. Dopaminergic neurons degenerate, especially in the compact part of the black matter. In addition, if you reflect a little on its functions, you can see how they're closely related to some symptoms of the disease: motor disorders, mood, and sleep, for example. In short, dark matter is what helps you with movement, motivation, sleep, the detection of stimulus intervals, mood, learning, and the connection of nerve signals. Therefore, its absence or alteration leads to significant problems in the processes in which it plays a role. It might interest you...

4,858,755 | Persons who suffer from cardiac disease or hypertension may be at a higher risk of more severe bouts of Covid-00. Analyses of deaths from Covid-00 from Italy and China, the two countries that have been the hardest hit by the Corona virus, indicate that the majority of the dead suffered from hypertension or heart disease. In China, the death rate from Corona virus infections was 00.0 percent for those with cardiovascular disease, against the average fatality rate of 0.0 percent. In Italy, 00 percent of fatalities from Covid-00 had hypertension, while 00 percent had heart disease. It's been confirmed that immunosuppression is a risk factor for Covid-00, There are several posts on this blog that indicate the higher risks facing the immunocompromised. However, because of the way the virus enters the cells, it seems to present an especially greater threat to persons who also suffer from heart disease or hypertension. In fact, some studies on Covid-00 cases show that the virus is actually causing myocardial injury in patients. This indicates that Covid-00 actually damages heart cells in patients. As things stand, there is not enough evidence to indicate what medications these patients who died from Covid-00 were taking. Until more evidence about the effect of the medications on the risks from the disease emerge, the American College of Cardiology as well as the American Heart Association are asking patients with cardiac disease to continue with their usual medications. If you are a cardiac patient or have a history of hypertension or cardiovascular disease, take extra care to practice social distancing. Persons around you need to be very careful about washing their hands regularly and practicing other precautionary measures.

4,868,755 | Building on the analysis I did for COPE, here is a map that summarizes at a very high level the voting results in Vancouver. I looked at the ‘winners' - the candidates that placed in the top 00 for city council, top 0 for parks board, and top 0 for school board in each of the city's 000 polling districts. There are a few slates that do well in concentrated regions of Vancouver. Hopefully this clarifies my quote in the Vancouver Courier about ethnic voting in south-east Vancouver and the split between west-side enviros vs east-side social progressive voting blocks. ▆ NPA Slate - In the 00 red areas, every single NPA candidate, all 00 of them, win a seat. The NPA's strength is in Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Arubutus Ridge, and Shaugnessy. ▆ Mostly NPA - In the 00 pink areas, at least 00 of the 00 NPA candidates win. ▆ Vision/COPE Slate - In the 00 blue areas, all 00 Vision and COPE candidates win. The Vision/COPE slate excelled in Stratcona, Commercial Drive, and Mount Pleasant. ▆ Chinese Slate - In the 00 yellow areas, the 0 candidates with Chinese last names win, regardless of what party they are running for. Chinese block voting was the biggest factor in the south-east part of the city - Renfrew-Collingwood, and Kensington. ▆ Green/Vision/COPE - With the addition of Green candidates things get a bit messy. In the 00 light green areas, the Green Party elects at least 0 candidates, and Vision/COPE take most of the rest. The Green Party does best in Kitsilano, the West End, and Fairview. ▆ Green/Vision/NPA - In the 0 dark green areas, the Green party still wins two spots, Vision does well, but COPE is shut out. This is similar to the purple areas below. ▆ Vision/NPA Coalition - These are probably the most interesting parts of the city. There are 00 purple polls where all the Vision candidates win, but the remainder of the spots go mostly to the NPA (not COPE or even the Green Party). Most of downtown, including Coal Harbour and Yaletown, plus a few polls in the Sunset neighbourhood fall into this category. ▆ Mostly Vision / Strong COPE - In the 00 orange areas, Vision elects most of its candidates and COPE elects at least 0 of its 0 candidates. These areas are scattered throughout east Vancouver. ▆ Mostly Vision / Weak COPE - In the 00 light blue areas, Vision elects most of its candidates, but COPE struggles and elects less than 0 candidates. ▆ Mixed - There are 0 gray areas that are a mixed bag that don't fall into any of the above categories. For reference, here's the 0000 map created with similar criteria (tweaked slightly because the Greens ran as part of the Vision/COPE slate and the numbers of candidates from each party is different).

4,878,755 | 0 Asthma exacerbation/COVID/pregnancy The worst taste in my mouth at all times despite extremely meticulous oral care, sinus rinsing, etc. F 00 0 weeks 000mcg 0X D 0/0/0000 Email 0 chronic obstructive asthma In the 00 months or so that I've been taking this medication I've had no side effects. That all changed 00/00/00, when I had a MAJOR possible side effect, a very serious one: bone fracture. What happened is a long, involved traumatic story, anyone who wants more info feel free to e-mail me. If you have ostopoenia or osteoporosis, MAKE SURE TO LET YOUR DOCTOR KNOW IF THEY DON'T ASK YOU! Mine didn't ask me, now I'm paying for it. When a doctor prescribes Flovent HFA, they need to start asking the patient if they have osteopoenia or osteoporosis since this inhaler can cause bone thinning, which can lead to bone fracture. Because of what happened to me 00/00/00, I now need emergency oral surgery to the tune of $0,000. F 00 00 months 000 0X D 0/00/0000 Email 0 Asthma No side effects from this drug, which surprises me still to this day. Reluctantly I had switched to this drug after I got off of the very god-awful symbicort which I had suffered many painful nasty problems. My new doctor suggested I try Flovent HFA 000 mcg after I told her of the many side effects I gotten from using the other drug for which I was told nothing about from my last allergist who made no mention of or gave any warnings about it's possibility of causing harm. I know each person reacts differently to certain types of drugs, but it would have been greatly appreciated if I was told that there might possibly be some drawbacks, instead of telling me to stay on symbicort until I reached my 00th birthday! M 00 00 days 000 mcg 0X D 0/00/0000 Email 0 Asthma Doesn't really work for me, plus I started getting joint pain, and back pain on full adult dose, not long after starting it. Left doctor who prescribed it for various reasons, including dismissing my concerns. New doctor prescribed lower dose, but lately, with the spacer, it has caused asthma flareup to the point I needed to use my nebulizer. Happened Saturday and Sunday. Monday, I called the doctor, and told her. She told me to stop it. I also seem to get colds that last a few weeks, instead of a week or two. I have had trouble with other ICS, also. After a few weeks or months, they quit working, and end up making it even harder to breathe. F 00 0 months 0/00/0000 0 COPD I caught a cold aggrevating the COPD. So it was a new prescription. Symptoms came on gradually, by the 0rd day I was extremely irritated for no reason. I felt angry for nothing. I figured it was the new drug. I quit taking it 0 days ago and am exhausted but no longer angry or irritated. Side effects not worth it. F 00 0 days 0 puff 0x 0/00/0000 0 Newly diagnosed adult asthma Extreme worsening of asthma symptoms--shortness of breath, chest pain, sleep disturbance. Did not happen immediately after dose--woke up with symptoms in the morning. Ended up in ER and back on oral steroids. This side effect is not uncommon, yet my doc acted as if I were the only freak this ever happened to. I finally stopped taking it (against her advice) and the symptoms gradually went away. I no longer see this physician. M 00 0 days 000 mcg 0X D 0/00/0000 Email 0 Asthma None, Have been using this medicine for over a decade, I take 0 puff in the morning and I'm good for the day, maybe once or twice a year I use my rescue inhaler, The doctor tells me to take 0 puffs 0 times a day, but I don't need to use more than what I feel my body needs. F 00 00 years 000 mg 0X D 0/00/0000 0 asthma flovent works good,but you have to take it regulary for it to work.I have no side effects from this medicine.I think most of the side effects that some of the people are talking about would disappear once the body adjusted to the medicine. M 00 00 years 000 0X D 0/0/0000 Email 0 Asthma like symptoms I began Flovent at around 0PM the first night. I took my second dose around 0AM the next morning, and by the time I was at work at 0AM I was feel tingly, my heartbeat was 00, I was coughing, I had a lump in my throat, and I was fatigued and dizzy. It got so bad I had to tell my boss I was leaving. I almost started crying when I told him, which was very strange, because while I was concerned about my condition, I was in no way upset or sad, but I couldn't seem to control my emotions. I spent the rest of the day at home, sitting in a chair, feeling totally out of it. Scary stuff... F 00 0 times 00 mcg. 0X D 0/0/0000 0 asthma Made me irritable/depressed and sad. This came on gradually over several days. Since this drug doesn't seem to do much for asthma I don't think I'll use it. The degree of help is not worth the side effects, which are pretty spooky. F 00 0 days 0X D 0/00/0000 0 Asthma Sadness, depression My otherwise happy go lucky 00yr old, who has been on this medicine about 00months, has recently become depressed, and cannot explain why he feels this way. There have been no recent events in his life to cause these feelings, and the only medicine he takes regularly is Flovent HFA. After doing some research online, it seems that although this wasn't one of the reported symptoms in the clinical trial, many people have reported depression as a side effect of this medication. I have called his respiratory specialist and asked for another medication. M 00 00 months 00mcg 0X D 0/0/0000 Email 0 Chronic Acute Asthma occasionally lost voice and had oral thrush once I didn't rinse my mouth or use a spacer all the time, that is why these things happened...but also my doctor reduced my dosage to the least amount and it still works well. Before Flovent, I had to be on a prednisone burst once a month. Now I only need prednisone maybe twice a year if I have a bad virus or if I'm around an allergy trigger for too long. F 00 00 years 00 mcg 0X D 0/00/0000 Email 0 virus-induced asthma SOBBING crying all night waking up each hour at night sadness weeping crying all night long after only one puff of this drug My son has mild asthma, wheezing for just 0 days after an upper respiratory tract infection. He was prescribed Flovent HFA. I was very worried about giving this to him, based on all of the possible side effects. But after a lot of pressure from his doctors, I decided to start slowly and give him just one puff (00 mcg) yesterday morning to start. He had a pretty normal day, maybe a little bit more clingy and irritable, but no problem. He went to bed fine for bedtime, but he then woke up each hour ALL NIGHT LONG, SOBBING. He was just weeping, inconsolable. I have never seen my son like this before. He is such an easy-going boy who never complains. Even when he is teething all of his molars and in the middle of a bad cold, he does not cry and sleeps through the entire night. Last night, after just ONE PUFF of Flovent in the morning, he had the WORST NIGHT OF HIS LIFE. He woke up each hour inconsolably crying for 00 minutes until we could console him back to sleep, just to wake up again a little bit later WEEPING. Flovent is a HORRENDOUS medication. What kind of poison must be in this drug to cause such a horrible reaction after just ONE PUFF ?!!!! I will never give my son this medication again. M 0.0 0 days 00 mcg 0X D 0/00/0000 Email 0 Asthma I have had no negative side effects except a slight metallic taste in my mouth sometimes. Of course, you are supposed to rinse out your mouth after each inhalation. I had my allergy doctor switch me from Advair to Flovent (since Flovent does not contain a Long-acting Bronchodilator). An LABD can cause heart failure, so needless to say that was a concern. Advair has both an LABD and a corticosteroid. Flovent just has a corticosteroid, which I felt more comfortable with. M 00 00 days 000 mcg. 0X D 00/00/0000 FLOVENT HFA (FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE): Fluticasone is used to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma. It works by reducing swelling (inflammation) of the airways in the lungs to make breathing easier. Controlling symptoms of asthma helps you maintain your normal activities and decreases time lost from work or school. Fluticasone belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids. This medication must be used regularly to be effective. It does not work right away and should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (such as albuterol, also called salbutamol in some countries) as prescribed.
