If one can relate to this, and they no longer want to ‘lose’ themselves when they get into a relationship, it might be a good idea for them to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided by a therapist or a healer. |
This can be a time when they will be working through old childhood pain and trauma, which this will allow them to develop strong boundaries. |

Oh really? I didn't know that, but if I gave it a rank... Probably D-rank? It was supposed to be something grander but I didn't have time to put the full thing in mind out so its just awkwardly there... (Tbh, I'll just remove it) |
Edit: @Turboshitter |
The idea I had in my head was that Ayondale was an ambitious person climbing up the hierarchy of the Clocktower, burning people where he needed to so that he could get where he is today. I planned him to be a previous student of his from ages ago perhaps not a 'rebellious student' but more grudge that has been held on ... |
(Although I can knock several years if you want, I'd prefer him to be in his late 20s at minimum however. I do see some age anomalies in his backstory but that may be just me) |
Ugh, with my schedule getting cramped so I can't put anymore time into my character sheet so I hope he is fine. Personally, I hate his spell section as there were many drafts that I trashed and finally gave up on a easier concept. |
Oh, I always have ideas around making Servants and they are always saved somewhere in my PMs for later use so I don't mind sharing them. Just me being fickle but I occasionally come up with a good idea that is worth pursuing like making Ajax since he's a Servant suitable for several classes. Occasionally there are dumb... |
However, what matters now is creating a character I feel invested in... Any tips for the spells, considering Druidcraft isn't really a thing? |
For Rider, I always wanted to play a version of Medusa where her skills would allow her to turn from a Rider into a Berserker if you forced her to keep using her more beastly nature. Like tapping into 'Monstrous Strength' too many times for too long and letting her restraint slip away and then... bam! After some Mental... |
(It'd be a heck ton of skill though that would pile on her though, unless made into one skill that would describe the transition... That gave skills after each checkpoint... yeah no way around it) |
@Shadow Daedalus can have Caster, I'll have a head start brewing a decent master with some possible character development on their bones rather than a copy+paste person. The person I have in mind is quite interesting now that its starting to form... Hopefully, my fickleness doesn't kill me or leave me in an awkward pos... |
So yeah, Master for me |
I might need some help with ironing out the kinks of having Nicolas Flamel be a rougher version of Paracelsus but I think he so far is within acceptable limits of a Caster from the Age of Man. It was a much safer idea than making Eratosthenes being a vessel to 'All the World's Knowledge' as The Library of Alexandria...... |
Ummm, dont judge me too harshly on my terrible creation lol (it was idea to a roleplay a long time ago) |
Right now I won't push my skills too hard so early in the Grail War but there is a reason to why I'm going to be more adamant about it later. But either way, the initial post I made was easily exchangeable between a single arrow being shot accurately to a small cluster of arrows being shot for dramatic effect so it's d... |

@Raineh Daze@VitaVitaAR |
My bad on the ordering of personal skills, it might have cause some confusion~ |
But my reasoning is that Instinct at B-rank is capable of reducing visual impairment by half and then when combined with the double bonus modifiers, I would believe that he would be able to pierce through the Mist combined with Clairvoyance with also a modifier. After his initial round of combat is over, Instincts woul... |
But if that doesn't add up, then I could change the post to being more of 'warning' shots to scare Assassin away. Just seemed more appropriate for Archer to do something like that and gather favor from Saber whose wounded and maybe Mira. So either way, send me a word and I'll get an edit through if needed. |
I'd be interested in playing both a Master and Caster if that's an option. If not then I've been wanting to see if the Caster I been making would be acceptable... |
Huh, hopefully, my post didn't throw a kink in anyone's plan but Archer has made an official appearance for two teams... I kept in mind the theme of trying to not kill anyone but if there is a problem then just tell me~ |

Are menopausal hot flashes an evolutionary byproduct of postpartum warming? |
OBJECTIVE Hot flashes are commonly associated with menopause, and some researchers have questioned whether the widespread phenomenon may somehow be adaptive. It has been hypothesized that hot flashes were selected to occur during the hypoestrogenic postpartum period as a mechanism to warm infants. The purpose of this s... |

The following factors are the reasons behind Google Rank brain’s introduction |
Handling Complex Searches |
Almost 15% of all the searches done by Google relates to big, complex and new searches. Due to the absence of handling such new searches in history, Google requires a way to relate them to the previous searches in order to get more accurate results. |
Managing Ambiguity |
The searches made by Google involves a number of puzzle keywords whose meaning differ according to the different context. By having a self-learning Algorithm which can process the previous searches helps Google in finding out the meaning of the keyword more effectively. |
Increasing Accuracy |
By understanding the context of a keyword, it creates more accuracy than matching the exact keyword with variants of the keywords. It is applicable to misspellings, abbreviations, and singular/plural. |
Google Rankbrain is often confused with knowledge Graph which is also an Algorithm program but it is not directly connected with it. It is also not any kind of algorithm updates such as Panda, Penguin or Hummingbird but it just works with Hummingbird in order to generate more meaningful results for complex queries. It ... |
Effect of Google Rankbrain on SEO |
The first step in developing SEO campaign is always about defining your keywords. While you are defining your keywords, you will be looking for relevant keywords to your business which is searched by customers. This foundation part of SEO process is what Rankbrain will most affect. Before the introduction of Rankbrain ... |
SEO is going bigger day by day. The search engine proved that the machine learning will take over the things as the performance given by it is much better than what was expected. As long as we are preparing content for humans and not for search engines our SEO efforts will always remain successful and humans are and wi... |

Lighting the stage: a history of early theater lighting technology |
ancient Greek theater |
Theater lighting design has a major influence on the mood of a scene and the audience’s experience. Lighting can simulate different times of day, suggest intensity, show happiness, call attention to one particular actor or stage piece, and enhance the audience’s experience in many other ways. Theater, however, has exis... |
From ancient Greek amphitheaters to Shakespearean plays in Elizabethan England, lighting has always played a role in drama productions, even before the advent of modern technology. |
The first stage lighting: sunlight |
It is no secret that drama became a staple in Greece long before the birth of New York’s Broadway. Ancient Greeks pioneered the modern genres of comedy and tragedy, and many Greek plays are still performed today. |
Even these early Greek plays featured lighting cues. These cues, however, happened mostly within the confines of a world without electric lighting. Drama festivals played from dawn until dusk, and performances took place outside in large, stadium-like amphitheaters, lit only by the sun. |
Because plays took place outside, stage companies had little control over lighting. Even still, the innovative Greeks used large mirrors to alter or reflect the sun’s rays as an early type of stage lighting. In addition, to establish a specific mood, the actors paused plays and took an intermission period until the sun... |
It wasn’t until the rise of the Roman Empire that performances moved to indoor spaces like great halls. The Romans employed candles, torches and lanterns to illuminate the stage in these indoor spaces. |
The birth of stage lighting as an art form |
Despite the limited possibilities of lighting control with flame-based light sources, later developments during the Renaissance increased the artistry of stage lighting. |
During the Italian Renaissance, stages were lit with candles made of tallow, or animal fat. Stagehands monitored candles closely and snipped wicks or relit candles as needed. Candles, crude oil lamps, torches and hanging lamps provided light in the theater; the house, where the audience sat, was also illuminated for th... |
Sebastiano Serlio, an Italian architect and stage designer, documented some of the earliest uses of lighting as an art form. In 1545, Serlio described rudimentary color filters for lights: glass vessels filled with liquids called “bozze.” The color of the light depended on the liquid contents: red wine produced a red, ... |
Stagehands placed these vessels in front of light as filters; the filters produced different colors of light to set the mood of a scene or create an early form of special effects. |
Serlio also went on to identify the three important qualities of stage lighting: distribution, intensity and color. In this way, he became the first recorded author to credit light as an important part of the art of theater. |
Leone di Somi, an Italian playwright and producer, was another early innovator of stage lighting as art. Di Somi wrote a small book in 1556; the book detailed instructions for staging a dramatic performance, including how a stage should be lit. In particular, Di Somi differentiated between lighting scenes for comedy an... |
Another crucial innovation came in 1638, when author Nicola Sabbatini suggested in his book on theater that producers use metal cylinders over candles to create a system of dimmers. The use of these cylinders allowed stagehands to control the amount of light on stage and change the lighting depending on a scene. Howeve... |
These three lighting innovations, along with others, harnessed the power of light to affect the mood onstage. However, they had disadvantages. Many old theaters caught fire and burned to the ground because of candles, and theaters had to limit the practice of manipulating candlelight due to safety and labor concerns. |
Lighting Shakespeare’s stage: theater lighting in the Elizabethan period |
William Shakespeare, a master of both comedy and tragedy whose works still influence modern writing across genres, is perhaps the most famous dramatist of all. Shakespeare is a unique case in theater history, as he became such a success that toward the end of his career, he had two theaters at his disposal. |
The first was the now famous Globe Theatre, originally built in 1576 and later reconstructed after burning down in 1614. The Globe was an open-air theater featuring stadium seating. While the seats are covered, the top of the theater is open much like in a modern sporting arena; in Shakespeare’s time, plays were lit by... |
In 1608, however, Shakespeare’s season extended with the construction of the Blackfriars Playhouse. This covered theater invited a different sort of writing, lighting and music. The indoor theater was smaller but allowed for more control over the set as well as performances at night or in inclement weather. |
The Blackfriars incorporated candles made from tallow, sheep or beef fat, which were cheaper than beeswax but required more maintenance due to their fast disintegration. Each performance required more than 100 candles. Stagehands stayed busy, as candles had to be replaced or trimmed four times over the course of the sh... |
The Blackfriars made dark scenes more chilling and amplified the experience of theater patrons by simulating nightfall, sinister events or quiet moments. However, many times, bright scenes followed dark scenes as an excuse for the stagehands to relight the candles. |
From candles to oil and the limelight: pre-electricity lighting technology |
Candles remained the most popular and widely used source of stage lights until 1783, which marked the invention of the kerosene lamp with an adjustable wick. After this, many theaters began to employ oil lamps instead of candles. While oil lamps allowed for greater lighting control, they, too, required constant mainten... |
In the years leading up to the advent of the electric light bulb, further inventions allowed for even greater control and more innovative uses of lighting for the stage. |
• 1803 – Henry Drummond invented the limelight, a spotlight that was made by heating a piece of lime with a flame of oxygen and hydrogen. A limelight was first used in Paris opera houses and, despite its green tint, was used as a follow-spot or to indicate sunlight. While it is not used today, the limelight is still ... |
• 1816 – Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia became the first fully gas-lit theater. |
• 1845 – The Drury Lane Theatre became the first theater to use gas lighting in England. |
• 1878-1898 – Henry Irving initiated the first lighting rehearsals to practice stage lighting before a performance. Irving also began the use of transparent lacquers as filters for limelights, and he introduced the practice of dimming house lights at the start of a show. |
The next innovation in lighting, Edison’s electric bulb, greatly improved the safety and efficiency of stage lighting. However, from early amphitheaters in Athens to Shakespeare’s Globe and Blackfriars, lighting has consistently been one of the most important aspects in a production for setting a mood, adding to the re... |

The Lighting reSource |
We really have to push the bounds of our capabilities to make rare isotopes in order even to be able to ask the questions that we need to ask. |
Matthew Amthor |
The question seems straightforward enough: How is matter created? Within that one question are endless possibilities for study, making physics a discipline that Matthew Amthor calls "a team sport." |
The game begins with a question. For example: What is happening inside a neutron star as it experiences an x-ray burst, the most common thermonuclear explosion in the galaxy? "X-ray bursts happen all the time because they are not quite as dramatic as supernovae," says Amthor. "Rather than being completely destructive, ... |
"The neutron star itself is such a special beast," says Amthor. "It fits all the mass of a star in such a tiny volume, and basically has the density of an atomic nucleus. So it's like a gigantic nucleus the size of Manhattan, allowing you to see how things interact in ways you can't usually see in a macroscopic system.... |
Once Amthor has identified an important uncertainty, for example, what particular nuclear reaction rate (many of which are just theoretical educated guesses) can significantly change the x-ray burst, he has to design an experiment and write a proposal to better nail down the reaction rate by producing and studying the ... |
"A committee of physicists decides among the many proposed experiments what's interesting and may tell us we get one week to study our isotope," he says. "So we make the nucleus of interest and figure out how to make some reaction take place using that nucleus in order to learn the reaction rate that takes place under ... |
There's always another question looming on the horizon, which is what drives and excites Amthor, who dreamed from a young age of studying nuclear astrophysics. "We really have to push the bounds of our capabilities to make rare isotopes in order even to be able to ask the questions that we need to ask," he says. "For e... |
Amthor is pushing on this frontier as well, working with a team of physicists to develop the next generation laboratory for the study of rare isotopes. It's called FRIB, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, and preparation for construction is already well under way. "FRIB will be a giant leap forward for the world in n... |
