Adding more weight breaks down muscles to rebuild and get stronger. Before moving up in weight, you should master the movement and form as well as be comfortable lifting 8 - 12 reps. Rest 1 or 2 days between lifting to give your body time to recover.
Example:
Week 1 - Perform bicep curls with 10- or 12-pound weights.
Week 4 - Perform bicep curls with 12- or 15-pound weights.
Week 8 - Perform bicep curls with 15- or 18-pound weights.
Increase Endurance
For strength training, try doing a higher number of reps with a lower weight. Before increasing the number of repetitions spend a few weeks mastering the exercise. For cardiovascular endurance, you can gradually increase the length of your cardio exercise sessions. Rest for 1 or 2 days before your next strength or cardio workout.
Example:
Week 1 - Run 20 minutes at a light to moderate pace, 2 days per week.
Week 3 - Run 30 minutes at a light to moderate pace, 2 days per week.
Week 5 - Run 30–40 minutes at a light to moderate pace, 3 days per week.
Increase Repetitions
This puts more demand on your muscles which strengthens them over time. | eng | 7df13d62-eb05-4f5c-aa18-0a9f57a7684a | https://www.peninsulacommunitycenter.com/post/progressive-overload-principle |

Your breast milk is specifically crafted for your kid, and it shields them from
illnesses and infections.
Formula milk does not offer the same
level of immunity from disease and does not provide any health benefits for you
Breastfeeding offers health benefits for you and your baby because breast milk
is always available for them whenever
they need it.
Breastfeeding has health benefits for you and your baby.
The advantages of breastfeeding for your child persist far into adulthood.
Breast milk in any amount is beneficial. The benefits and duration of the protection increase with the length of breastfeeding.Your baby's risk of: can be decreased with breastfeeding if:
infections, which result in fewer hospital visits, diarrhea and vomiting, which result in fewer hospital visits, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
obesity
adult-onset cardiovascular disease
Additionally, according to some research, breastfeeding your child for at least 6 months can lower their risk of developing childhood leukemia. However, further study is required in this area.
For the first six months (or 26 weeks) of your baby's existence, you should only give your breast milk.
After that, providing breast milk along with solid foods to your baby for as long as you and your baby desire will aid in their continued healthy growth and development.
As your baby grows, breast milk adjusts to match his or her evolving demands.
Breastfeeding has health benefits for you
You can benefit from breastfeeding and producing breast milk for your health. The advantages increase as you breastfeed more frequently. | eng | 2e19034f-07bc-4eb8-adaf-06e8b87e4645 | https://kastown.com/worlds-breastfeeding-week/ |

VDB function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation
by
What is VDB function in Excel?
VDB function is one of Financial functions in Microsoft Excel that returns the depreciation of an asset for any period you specify, including partial periods, using the double-declining balance method or some other method you specify. VDB stands for variable declining balance.
Syntax of VDB function
Salvage: The value at the end of the depreciation (sometimes called the salvage value of the asset). This value can be 0.
Life: The number of periods over which the asset is depreciated (sometimes called the useful life of the asset).
Start_period: The starting period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. Start_period must use the same units as life.
End_period: The ending period for which you want to calculate the depreciation. End_period must use the same units as life.
Factor(Optional): The rate at which the balance declines. If factor is omitted, it is assumed to be 2 (the double-declining balance method). Change factor if you do not want to use the double-declining balance method. For a description of the double-declining balance method, see DDB.
No_switch(Optional): A logical value specifying whether to switch to straight-line depreciation when depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.
If no_switch is TRUE, Microsoft Excel does not switch to straight-line depreciation even when the depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.
If no_switch is FALSE or omitted, Excel switches to straight-line depreciation when depreciation is greater than the declining balance calculation.
Important: All arguments except no_switch must be positive numbers.

(P2) India has a billion people at risk, with China, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, and Pakistan also ranked among the 10 countries with the most people exposed to natural HAZARDS, according to data compiled by Verisk Maplecroft, a UK-based RISK MANAGEMENT company.
(P3) 1.4 billion people in South Asia are exposed to at least one major natural hazard, from severe storms to FLOODING and EARTHQUAKES.
(P4) But the list of countries most vulnerable to disasters – in terms of their ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from them – is topped by African nations, particularly South Sudan, Burundi and Eritrea.
(P6) Much vulnerability in Africa and elsewhere is the result of poor GOVERNANCE, including corruption, and weak IMPLEMENTATION of policies.
(P7) "For example, in India and Pakistan, to some extent, there are BUILDING CODESIN PLACE, but they are very weakly implemented. You see construction going on in high-risk areas where it should not happen," he said.
(P8) In Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, more than 85 percent of people are exposed to at least one kind of natural hazard. But all three countries are classed as having low vulnerability, because they have good protections in place, and together they recorded less than 32,000 deaths from natural disasters since 1990.
(P9) Haiti, on the other hand, is not as exposed to potential disasters but is considered highly vulnerable, having suffered over 230,000 deaths since 1990, many in a major 2010 earthquake. It is an extremely poor and challenged country.
(P10) Manila is the most exposed city, with almost all of its 23 million people in the path of CYCLONES and many also facing TSUNAMIS or earthquakes.
(P11) The fast pace of development in Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines has done little to cut that region's disaster risk.
(P12) Some of the most vulnerable countries have shown strong economic growth, but INFRASTRUCTURE and policies remain weak.
(P13) Reducing vulnerability to disasters, particularly in places with large exposure to natural hazards, will depend on tackling poverty and inequality, he said.
(P14) Providing education and healthcare and giving people better access to SOCIAL SERVICES can improve their incomes and knowledge, and help them move from dangerous places to safer ones which are more expensive to live in types of natural disasters is your country most vulnerable to?

features one of the best scenes in cinema history. everything from the canon blast (when eastwood fires the canon at wallach) onwards is just great. wallach running around the cemetery with morricone's score blaring, the arrival of van cleef, the ensuing showdown in the circle…it's all great and so perfectly set to music. pure cinema. of course the rest of the film isn't too shabby either. the whole thing takes place during the civil war in the wild west. individual outlaws still rule the landscape and the government is in a state of turmoil. this is what westerns are all about. also loved how leone chooses to show (or not) things that are in, or just outside of, the frame. the first shot is of a western landscape and then a grizzled looking guy leans up into the frame. in the end eastwood is going to make wallach dig for the treasure when, from behind the camera, a shovel appears and is thrown between the two of them. van cleef emerges and is revealed. it's as if things don't exist unless leone chooses to show them. | eng | 76adf625-a50b-497d-a75c-bb308c046ae6 | https://millersmovies.com/movies/2008/good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ |
Related Practices & Jurisdictions
As the Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype continues, you may feel a sense of déjà vu.
But after attending the recent Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) conference—which was dominated by sessions on ways that AI is transforming law firms and the broader legal industry—I'm left wondering whether this eerie feeling is about AI technology or the legal industry's reaction of downplaying yet another technological advancement? Or maybe a bit of both.
What's Different?
AI is not new. It emerged years ago as a transformative technology with significant implications for the legal sector. AI-powered tools and applications have already transformed how law firms and departments operate and deliver legal services by simply automating routine tasks.
This time, however, the impact of the newest evolution of AI-powered tools extends beyond mere automation. These tools offer augmentation capabilities that can, when used responsibly, enhance the work of legal professionals.
Revolutionizing Augmentation
Without question, these new augmentation AI technologies are more readily available and offer significant opportunities for law firms and legal departments to work smarter and more efficiently.
Legal Research and Analysis: AI-powered tools can quickly analyze vast volumes of legal documents, extracting relevant information, identifying patterns, and providing valuable insights. This augmentation of legal research and analysis allows lawyers to make more informed decisions and strengthens their arguments.
Due Diligence and Document Review: AI-powered systems can automate due diligence processes and document review, significantly reducing the time and effort required. Machine learning algorithms can quickly scan documents, flagging relevant information and potential discrepancies for further investigation by legal professionals.
Nightmare Déjà Vu
However, despite AI's numerous benefits, several significant challenges and considerations cannot be overlooked.
Ethical and Professional Responsibility: Legal professionals must ensure the use of AI aligns with ethical standards and professional responsibilities. They should carefully evaluate AI outputs, maintain client confidentiality, and ensure transparency in decision-making processes involving AI systems.
Workforce Adaptation and Skill Development: The integration of AI requires legal professionals to adapt and develop new skill sets. Law firms should invest in training programs to help lawyers and staff understand AI technologies, work effectively with AI systems, and leverage the benefits of augmentation and automation.
AI's impact on law firms and the legal industry presents a mix of positive advancements, potential drawbacks, and ethical challenges. The increased efficiency, enhanced legal research, and improved access to legal services demonstrate how AI can revolutionize the legal industry. However, concerns over ethical and professional responsibilities, over dependence on AI systems, data privacy and security risk, and workforce pivots highlight the significant hurdles to the legal industry embracing and leveraging the benefits. By adopting responsible AI practices, addressing ethical considerations, and ensuring a balance between automation and human expertise, law firms should harness the benefits of AI while mitigating potential risks, creating a more efficient and equitable legal landscape | eng | ead991ea-63e3-41a7-a10b-c64cf57227dd | https://www.natlawreview.com/article/ai-legal-d-j-vu-or-revolution |

Yes. If you are following the rules of old-fashioned, prescriptive grammarians, "cheaper" is not OK, but is instead incorrect, and the only correct choice is "more cheaply."

The Science behind Clenbuterol. How does clenbuterol work
Clenbuterol is a β2-adrenergic agonist, which means that it stimulates β2-adrenergic receptors in the body. These receptors are primarily found in the smooth muscle cells of the lungs, which controls the dilation and constriction of the airways. However, β2-adrenergic receptors are also present in other tissues like the heart, liver, and skeletal muscles.
The binding of Clenbuterol to β2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles, which results in the expansion of the airways. This effect is beneficial for people with respiratory issues like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition, Clenbuterol also increases oxygen delivery to the muscles, which enhances endurance and performance during exercise.
Clenbuterol also has a thermogenic effect, which means that it increases the body's core temperature and metabolic rate. This effect is due to the activation of β3-adrenergic receptors in brown adipose tissue, which releases stored fat as fuel for the body. This process is known as lipolysis, and it results in the reduction of body fat and an increase in lean muscle mass.
Furthermore, Clenbuterol has an anabolic effect, which means that it promotes muscle growth and repair. This effect is due to the activation of the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) pathway, which stimulates protein synthesis and prevents muscle breakdown. Thus, Clenbuterol is used by bodybuilders and athletes to increase muscle mass while reducing body fat.
In summary, Clenbuterol works by binding to β2-adrenergic receptors in the body, leading to relaxation of smooth muscle cells in the lungs and an increase in oxygen delivery to the muscles. It also activates β3-adrenergic receptors in brown adipose tissue, which results in the breakdown of stored fat and an increase in metabolic rate. Lastly, Clenbuterol stimulates the IGF-1 pathway, which promotes muscle growth and repair.

Grasping Betting Enslavement
The vast majority have known about somebody who experiences betting enslavement, however many don't have the foggiest idea how might benefit from outside input that individual other than basically telling them not to bet. Everything boils down to understanding betting fixation more than whatever else. It's difficult to treat something you don't actually have the foggiest idea. Furthermore, being dependent on betting can be a truly complicated enslavement sadly.
Individuals who see themselves as a relaxed player barely at any point consider fostering a dependence on betting. They consider impulsive betting something that main mentally frail people manage. It's very simple to say that you could never turn into a habitual player. However, could you trust it on the off chance that I let you know that it truly isn't too difficult to become dependent?
Experiencing an elevated degree of stress, being trapped in a task that you could do without, or even a miserable relationship can all make conditions in which somebody become frantic and powerless against betting addictions. It probably won't seem like the circumstance you're in, however increasingly more frequently individuals are attempting to track down ways of adapting to their concerns. Tragically, flippant betting is something such countless individuals search out.
Did you had at least some idea that being trying to claim ignorance is really one of the main things an impulsive speculator will confront? The primary phase of betting compulsion is loss of control, driving you to refusal. This is certainly not a decent spot to be on the off chance that you are somebody who is experiencing some type of discouragement or intense pressure.
Players who are willfully ignorant go into their games searching for little more than the success. This is on the grounds that triumphant makes every one of their concerns disappear. What they don't understand is that they are falling increasingly deep into this unfortunate pattern of compulsion habit are something very similar. One individual may be dependent on the lights, the sounds, and the successes of gaming machines. Certainly, gaming machines are generally known as the type of betting with minimal measure of hazard. However, it is exceptionally simple to become dependent on the machines. Certain individuals will sit at a machine for quite a long time, essentially getting derailed inside a daze of lucrative conceivable outcomes. It's all a result of delight, need, and obviously a lot of covetousness.
Might the opening at some point machine be a pathway which could lead the blameless player to additional less secure games? Totally! In reality astounding how rapidly one individual plays their #1 gambling machine can advance on to play seriously compelling table games. I should pressure the comprehension that there are individuals who can keep up with control. It's simply a well established truth that there are so many individuals who can't get a grip on controlling their lucrative dreams.
This doesn't imply that the individuals who are dependent on betting are awful individuals, yet it's the way that one follows that can lead them down a horrible war zone, wretchedness, and outrageous sorrow. It's truly difficult to persuade somebody that they have an issue that you notice, yet it tends to be finished. Its entire thought is keeping up with control before the issue sets in. This should be possible by regarding betting as a diversion previous time, instead of a lucrative endeavor. Understanding the ongoing circumstance you are in is at most extreme significance. In the event that you are in a method of misery, it isn't an ideal opportunity to start betting your blues and your cash away.
Capable betting is a lot of tomfoolery, provided that drew closer with sound judgment and understanding. Continuously be completely mindful of your perspective. Assuming you do this, you will incredibly decrease your possibilities becoming dependent on betting. | eng | 8068d5c6-5a86-47ba-88da-b41f9c971e33 | https://casinogamesguides.com/grasping-betting-enslavement.html |

My idea for an interesting htg game would be a combination sports management sim, and sex trainer sim. My idea is for specifically softball, but could easily be changed to another sport with more than one player on a team.
You, the MC (possibly an option to play male/female) get hired as head coach of a struggling female athletic program. The 'goal' is to actually start getting wins and make it to the championship game/playoffs/tournament (women's college world series, college association tournament) and to do so 'by any means necessary'. The options at first are limited, so you have to start by corrupting/abusing a single member on the team. Start with individual after practice coaching, and slowly get the player better at what they're doing. After a bit, start using sex as a punishment for playing poorly, until she likes it, then start using it as a reward for playing well. After she starts being the best on the team, some of her teammates ask what she's doing, and you start getting a stream of girls to train and do lewd things to. Same way, sex punishment, then sex reward. Possibly you would also have to corrupt your assistant's and have them help punish or reward your team.

It has potential, though I was thinking more along the lines of a management type game, where in the off season you recruit, and all that jazz, but where you also get to lewd up the players and coaching staff. I was actually pretty excited that somebody actually started making something sport related like that though.
Yeah, mostly I just want this game for the management aspect, but also want to take fap breaks while playing it.
Also, going through 80 captchas just to fucking post is bullshit.

The PC is a young man or girl that moves to a town in the rural pacific northwest with his family to discover a clandestine supernatural war between witches, werewolves, vampires, and fairies is being waged over a well of magic power located in the town. The PC has an opportunity to assist or join the faction of his choosing to help that side win the war. He has supernatural sex along the way.

The MC is a guy that hears voices in his head. 2 years back he found his wife in bed with his boss, which for him meant that he have lost both his job and his family. His bitch of a wife asks her new boyfriend for money to find a good lawyer for a divorce, so you end up without house, car, and a fair amount of your money. Since this bitch is seriously fucking protective over your only daughter, she gets you a restriction and you cant even see her. Just a few days back, this bitch called you first time in 1,5 years asking for help, saying that you are the only human being capable for it. She is going for some serious job overseas for a month (since that bastard dropped her) and she doesnt trust her daughter to anyone but you. So, your daughter comes back to you first time in 2 years, and one of the voices in your head wants to fuck her (some sort of moral system, with one voice going for incest and stuff and other one that want you to become a perfect father).
The reason your wife cheated on you was that you spent most of your time working, or studying to work better, so you didnt have any time for her or your daughter. Your daughter comes back to you feeling like she doesnt even know you, and is pretty cold towards you (like teaching feeling sort of situation), so you try to earn her love.
You can try to corrupt her and make her a slut, treat her like a princess and become #1 dad, force your authority and make her listen to you fullfilling every your demand, show her that there is nothing bad in being a nudist, show her the joy of sex and different fetishes, and a hell lot of other stuff with multiple endings.
Girl have her own needs and stats and walks around the house during the day doing stuff, which causes different event that may change her relationship with you or her stats (like, she sits near the pool, you push her in it for a joke, and end up with her being wet and angry, so you get -something relationship -something inhibition).
Also you have a few friends that serve as merchants in the game, selling all sorts of stuff (hidden cams, mind control drugs, viagra, toys, present). Besides the trading point, they serve as story tellers to tell the characters background in the begining. You can do various stuff for them to gaing their trust and access to new items in the shop.
You can earn money for the shops working as a freelancer from your bedroom, or doing part-time jobs in the town. While you do it you can call your daughter a babysitter (-relationship at the start, becomes good friends with babysitter after some time +babysitter romance route) leave her at house alone(various events), or take her with you if you can (events).
Since you lost your house, you live in your parents house (both parents dead) and you dont actually know a lot of stuff about the house (hidden room and shit).
Overall gameplay is like "babysittng cream" but with additonal characters, skills, shops, wider variety of endings, minigames, girl walks around the house etc.
Point is that I am already making this game, but I am lazy as fuck piece of shit, that cant even do things he like. So at this moment (over 2 month in dev, holy shit) I have day/night cycle in 9 locations, working inventory and dialogue systems, some handcrafted UI and background (shitty, pure shit, cant draw at all), save/load system (its not tyrano/renpy/unity game, currently using construct 2. Works on all platforms, unbelievable performance, games work in browsers), navigation system (can walk around the house), language select system (game uses XML to store text, so I can add a branch or two for different languages), works in browser (for now), have some basic kisekae sprites for characters. As again mentioned, I am a lazy pieces of shit with bad english grammar, and at the current speed my game will be ready in 200-300 years, so if someone tries to make this concept a reality I will be fucking happy to see it.

You're a demon who takes over the body of an old nun who just died of natural causes in the night. Your goal: corrupt all the young nuns without getting caught.
perhaps a system where you weekend at bernies the wrinkled corpse of the nun during the day and you interact with the nuns in your true masculine form at night.
of course when they come to you for advice during the day is when you attempt to influence them.
corruption and prostitution themes would be fun, and if you don't want to go satanic, you could have it be a pagan fertility spirit or whatnot.
having a nunnery would mean an isolated number of characters with branching stories. it wouldn't be like one of those rule34 slave trainers where you grab one off the shelf. you would have 6-10 nubile young women, each with their own stories, foibles and weaknesses, who you can corrupt in at least two branching paths.

you're a thirty year old owner of a failing bar that you inherited from your dad.
In the year 20XX prostitution becomes legal countrywide, and one night you catch a girl blowing some dude behind your bar, leading to an argument that makes you realize that you have an opportunity, seeing as you have a liquer license.
the game would be convinced townspeople to work in your new brothel. there would have to be somewhere around 20-50 distinct townswomen, from married MILFs to teens, and a way to recruit all of them. the juciest part would be events you can script where people in the small town fuck someone they know.
(Former gym coach fucks former student you've hired)
(guy fucks his neighbors wife who moonlights at your place)
As nonspecific examples.

The forces of darkness are growing stronger, the demon-lord has been gathering his army to take over the world, a hero must rise, ect ect.
Hero(heroine) leaves home to fight through progressively stronger and stronger monsters before assaulting the demon lord's castle.
The heroine is strong, courageous and righteous.
Except you don't play as the heroine. You play as a friend who's been with her since before she started the journey. Someone (male or female) who stumbled into the village as a child and quickly became friends with the young heroine.
You're not strong or particularly heroic, but you do have powerful magic. (something almost unheard of amongst humans) which makes you absolutely vital for the heroine's journey.
Spend the whole game as an exasperated magician backing the heroine up as she gets in over her head trying to save every peasant and villager that crosses her path.
Get a lovey-dovey romance going between the two main characters, and foil the game's every attempt to NTR you with rape-orcs, goblins, slimes and the occasional H-game villager who thinks he can pull a cheap trick and get into the heroine panties.
Get to the final-boss's castle and it's revealed that you were the demon-lord the whole time. The old lord died and his kid took over, then you fucked off to go have an adventure and ran into the heroine years ago. The whole reason the demon army is massing it's forces is because your steward as getting worried after you vanished for several years, and is preparing to send people out to look for you.
Now you choose your ending. Fake your death as the demon lord, go back to the heroine's home town and get married, or fight and capture the heroine, make her your slave before drowning the world in a tide of darkness.
Maybe the ending is decided base on whether you protected her or not? If you protected her chastity, then you get the pure waifu ending, and if you failed then you get the evil-overlord ending.
Maybe switch out the rape-monsters for regular monsters and have the main sex-threat be humans? (An innkeeper who sneaks into her room at night, the barkeeper who puts something in her drink, a bathhouse attendant who peeks, bandits on the road, the town mayor who… ect)
So the end theme for the bad route can be If this is how human treat their hero, then they don't deserve one with a sidenote of she obviously can't be trusted to look after herself, so I'll have to keep her on a leash

Like the entire thing except the bullshit black and white morality ending(s).
Why can't you be like that one fucker who was demon lord in that one game and just say fuck your stereotypes I do what I want?
Don't really get why you would have to choose and how you being the demon lord would be a big reveal when the character just left for an adventure a few years ago.
You're setting the usual ntr plot with the protag being nothing special and everyone trying to get their love interest.
Have it be known at the start that the protag is the Demon Lord(to the player) and have the morality play out over the course of the story while you try and figure out how to handle the hero when the end of your journey comes i.e. the heroine being drugged and felt up by the innkeeper being stopped by you and then choosing how to punish him.
The heroine may want or wish that his actions be made known to all while you want to murder or torture him because of your nature and insistence by your steward.
This would all come together at the end when the hero learns what you are and the end being based on how you acted i.e. If you were good then you talk them down from fighting and if bad forced to fight. To give "love" for bad boys have there be corruption increasing their acceptance of your actions.
Then sprinkle in allowing the things to happen to increase various things and the small amount of variation to allow you to do yourself at a slower pace for lewdness and other things and I would pay sixty bucks for it.

There is a training portion for sports and sex and punishments. There is also weekly gladiator fights to test those attributes. Once in a while there is very special events like cock cage/chastity fittings and special punishments.
unlike the novel you can chose the gender from male, female or futa, or shemale for both the slave and trainer.
let me know if you need more details

All I need is a cuckquening simulator where you play as Marco and make it easy for Star to spy on you and Jackie and make her jealeous. You can even add Janna, Heckapoo and all the other girls who wants to burrito in order to make Star even more jealeous. You make her lick the cum out of the other girls too.

> you don't have to limit yourself to being some akabur-style Creepo insert character.
Fair enough, but I picked whatshisface because he acts unpredictably (so this could be "justifiable" behavior for him), had access to magic as well as was in a position to interact with Star. You'd have to come up with an OC to have those traits.
Playing as Star sounds neat, but what kind of stuff would she do herself? For me she's the major draw in terms of lewding so either she starts off kind of normal or already willing to be an outright slut. The good thing about trainer games is they have a good excuse for the pacing of smut.
When you play the female character the barriers stopping you from outright wearing a string thong at the beach and nothing else seem more arbitrary. You try go outside like that and the character says "I can't be seen like this" and all of a sudden you are reminded that you aren't in control, you're training the protag.

I don't think I have to explain. And I didn't even pointed out the "you play as Glossarick" shit.
>You'd have to come up with an OC to have those traits
No shit, that sounds better than playing as a blue annoying dwarf
>Magic council is worried about Star
>They assign her a supervisor, your OC
>He can do as he see fit, meaning he have access to magic and star
And that is, of course, if corruption was a good idea. You can just play as Marco and have your harem, and if you don't like the spic faggot, you can just play as some MC under the same conditions of "Star didn't met Marco but OC". Ignore the Tom part in the comic, but the rest is pretty good and it's what I'd actually want.
It's not a matter of subjectivity but objectivity. Corruption and corruption plots are shit, there's no need to explain that for obvious reasons.
>Your OC has to seem like they fit for starters
Not hard to do if you're a decent artist and writer. Besides, Star universe is pretty flexible, the person that was supposed to evaluate her was some weird cat thing, so I don't see why another mewman or something like it can't be part of it.
>You're basically creating Glossarick 2.0
Except it wouldn't be an annoying and old looking blue dwarf. Glossarick is fun and all, but playing as him must be shit. Even Akabur had to do the genie someone somehow appealing to play as. I guess you can play as glossarick in different bodies or something like that, but sounds too needlessly complicated.

Not really a game idea but I just want to lament about this somewhere in the void; I was trying to figure out the slow process of modding the autistic stats simulator "Fetish Master" so as to overhaul it into a monster girl breeding/training thing when the only other modders just started patreon gating their mods. Which kind of took the fun out of it, because if I ever finished my shit it'd be expected to be compatible with theirs and I have zero desire to support that kind of faggotry.
Oh well, back to being the only person on these boards who plays this game.

taking the idea from >>38323 of an fnaf game with those monsters from daz3d: you're a new employee from a sex shop and they have those new dolls from china that are similar but not quite as good as the real ones, you must look at the merchandise at night because its probable that a thief can get in and confuse it with the real thing but those dolls are not as dead as it should be and will try to fuck you (((both ways))), you can make it on RPG Maker or ren'py for extra irony

It's not everyone's cup of tea. It's just my particular brand of degeneracy. And yes, I already have written a few scenes for text based games. Though I'm pretty sure the ones that actually accepted my submissions are all dead by now. A quick google shows the only one still "active" is Nimh - a furry game I submitted to on a lark.
Mostly what stops me as of late is just a general lack of understanding of the git stuff everyone uses now. Because I'm dumb as hell.
I don't run a patreon, but I get your point. Yes.

And she wants to go to college someday and not mess up her life totally, but she needs to scratch her itch something fierce.
So she has to figure out how to gradually train each of the people around her to dominate her and take advantage of her and make each of them them think that is was their own idea, without freaking them out or letting each of them know that other people are "training" her too. She could try to be the victim of her girlfriends, teachers, priest, family members, coaches, local police officer, everyone.
Basically a reverse trainer, where instead of a good girl being trained to be a sub-slut, she is a secretly naughty girl training everyone she knows how to dominate her right.

You're the new owner of Maroon Cartoon Studios set in modern day. Business has been booming, and you've recently acquired the contracts for a bunch of Toons. Through Casting couches, digging up blackmail material, and other methods, you convince a number of Toon women (Ranging from Betty Boop, Red Hot Riding Hood, various Disney Princesses, Hanna Barbera's line up and of course Jessica Rabbit) to sleep with you.
The amount of effort you have to put into to get certain acts out of women varies from girl to girl. For example, Betty is riding entirely off of merch sales so she's up for sex right off the start just for a chance of getting back into pictures while Jessica is a harder egg to break and will require threatening Roger's career in some way in order to get her to go along with anything.

Game where you're the new warden of Arkham Asylum and attempt to "reform" the female members of Batman's rogues gallery to turn them into your bitches. Each girl would have a unique way to train them, like for Harley you have to transfer her obsession with Joker onto yourself.

Basically, you, the PC, take the role of Shinji Ikari and try to get in everyone's skirt.
The basic plot is that Ritsuko discovers that while, yes, the A10 region of the brain is activated through love; it gets REALLY turned on through sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll which boosts the synch ratio to amazing levels.
So in order to boost your synch ratio, you head out to fuck your fellow pilots and the adult women at NERV. (Careful though: push it too high in either you or your fellow pilots and either you or them will dissolve into your EVAs.)
Order of the girls and their basic function is as follows you get is as follows:
Ritsuko: She's the one who discovers it, she's the one who tells you, she's the one to run the original experiment. She only gives you handjobs, maybe gives you blowjobs as well, that is until mid-to-late game where you walk in on her having sex with Gendo, at which point you blackmail her into doing more and more for you.
Misato: You live with her, she's next. You keep threatening to run away (which will cost her her job and her chance for revenge against the angels if you follow through on) but you won't run away if she does more and more favors for you.
Rei: Trying to get her to act when she is not under orders will be tricky. Maybe try to convince her that fucking is something on the side that doesn't need orders as it does not actually get in the way of her purpose. But due to the increased synch ratio, she gets convinced that it is a good idea to do more and more.
Mari: eventually becomes second-in-command of your harem. Pretty much will let you do anything to her from the outset because she's a slut for male EVA pilots (good thing you're the only one). Basically, her training is to make her a better and better dom for your harem.
Maya: When Ritsuko has to get to an important meeting and doesn't have time for you, (maybe right before the scene where you walk in on her and Gendo) she calls up Ms. Ibuki to take her place in giving you a blowjob. She'll do it grudgingly for her sempai. After unlocking her, you can have Ritsuko call her up and, if you've trained her enough, have a threesome.
Asuka: At first you think she's a bitch, but then you realize that she's just goading you because she wants to be thrown down onto a bed and be taken. She's a masochist and probably the kinkiest of the bunch. At the end of her training she let you strip her naked and sodomize her in a crowded room. And she only ever walks on all fours and wears a dog collar.
Possible one off scenarios to happen in the game:
Due to angelic contamination; you've grown a temporary second dick, use accordingly.
Due to angelic contamination; Rei has temporarily grown a dick, and wants to see what it feels like to fuck someone with it, you decide to double team another one of your harem with her to let her find out.
During an angel battle, the Eva gets contaminated and a monster-girl version of the angel appears in your entry plug to "become one with you."
The sequence were all three of them had to strip naked and get into the test plugs becomes different depending on how you've trained Rei and Asuka at that point.
You find the Reiquarium, you and the Rei clones decide to… have fun times at the zoo eating ice cream.

implying an order from Ritsuko would make Shinji do anything other then cry, You'd have to have him contaminated by an angel resulting in a little personality change and maybe mild psychic powers for any kind of porn to happen.

If all you want to do is make money, you don't even NEED a concept, honestly. As long as your game's competent and the art style isn't complete garbage, people literally will not care. 90% of the shit you see on Patreon or even in weeb eroges is just "go out there and fuck people". The story is mostly there to serve as a treadmill.
That said, what's the general theme you wanna go for? Romance, slice of life, comedy/satire, edgy shit, drama, etc. There are plenty of gimmicks you could use that would make for a good game/story on its own like people being locked together and forced to perform tasks, or the protagonist being able to control time, or your love interest dying from cancer, but that depends on what you feel like making, and how much story/gameplay/porn you want it to have.

>if it's impossible to monetize it, better to not spend a lot of time on it
That means monetizing it and getting a return on your time investment takes a higher priority than the game itself. It's like saying "I'm not just drawing art for money but if people won't buy it I don't really want to bother".

Not really gameplay idea, but this thread is the most suitable thread I've seen for discussion like this. How come Vector Art / paper-doll type art systems are so unpopular for erotic games?
It seems to me that the main blocker on HT/HGG's is usually art - most programmers do not have much in the way of artistic ability, and cannot seem to recruit artists to help (whether due to lack of community interest in the game, the presence of objectionable content e.g. loli that might be illegal in the artist's jurisdiction, or just lack of funds to hire an artist).
Hentai High School + has a paperdoll system (using kisekae) that works quite well, and pregmod has vector art support. Both of these offer easy ways to expand content for minimal "art cost". Admittedly it's harder to set up a vector art system (in terms of defining body shaped and stuff), but once it is you can easily create variations by e.g. changing the parameter for a curve (or curves) that represent thigh thickness.
Anyway, it would be nice to see a generic erotic vector art library that could be embedded into games, so devs can easily add art support.

I blame people wanting to kill Flash. 2D puppets with reusable assets used to be the standard for indie porn games, and for good reason. Then there's everyone wanting to make the ultimate customizable randomly-generated porn game where you can do anything, giving up halfway and then passing the torch to someone who starts making the same thing again from scratch. There are probably 40-50 complete projects out there for this sort of thing already, all of them unfinished and forgotten because the devs ran out of steam. Not to mention that they ultimately rely on an asset library for hairstyles/clothing/etc, which is a whole new gigantic thing in itself.
Another limitation of "cutout" based rigs is that you're limited to creating frontal character portraits with it, and not much else. Which would actually work fine for avatars and talk sprites in visual novels, but if you want to include porn CGs, you either have to then draw those from scratch the traditional way (which takes time), or resort to things like 3D (which looks like shit even with filters applied on top of it).
I'm actually thinking about making a "best of both worlds" tool for this sort of thing based on customizable models that are used as a reference for a program to trace a full image on top of. Something like Live2D, but fully automatic and not necessarily animated. Think of it as generating a paper cutout model on the fly, but from any angle.
Instead of a puppet being assembled from swappable parts, you could have what is effectively a Photoshop macro tracing lines with brush strokes, thus creating an image with a process similar to what an actual artist would use. You'd obviously need more than that for properly inking and coloring a picture, but the steps and decisions a person would make are not actually that hard to translate. The hard part is making it have a "style" the same way a human would, make mistakes, exaggerate anatomy and so on. After that, body proportions, poses, art styles and models could also be stored and reused infinitely, though that depends on it becoming widespread and staying the standard, with a booru or nexus type database that everyone knows about.

The idea is that most "town map" style games with NPCs you can talk to like a certain visual novel making 35k a month on a crowdfunding site aren't realistic enough for it to matter. The point of letting the player walk around and have some amount of choice in what they do (as opposed to writing a linear visual novel) is that it increases your immersion. Feeling like you're in control of the protagonist's actions makes it less like watching a movie, and more like being transported into that character's head. And the point of THAT in regards to porn games is that your immersion is more or less proportional to the size of your erection.
However, when a game executes that lazily and implements "realistic" gameplay in the form of being unable to progress until you've completed a side quest that has nothing to do with the plot, or an NPC that recycles the same 3 lines of dialogue infinitely, or an area that you can't walk to for no reason, or a day/night cycle that makes 10 hours pass every time you talk to someone, or a world that seemingly ignores you literally never showing up to school or work, it reaches a point where it has the complete OPPOSITE of the intended effect. If you constantly have to ignore things or make shit up and write the story yourself in order for the game to make sense, it takes you out of your immersion and makes it still feel like you're playing a linear visual novel, but now with retarded hoops you have to jump through to find the rest of the scripted dialogue. Instead of free-roaming and choice adding to your immersion, they end up doing nothing, while also being an annoyance to deal with.
So, imagine a game where you're essentially forced to live somebody's life. You wake up in the morning, you have to get to school in time, you have to take classes and play minigames that make sense in context (for instance, solve a math problem or rent a library book), then you go home and get to do whatever. Everything happens in "real time", a conversation that takes 20 minutes also makes 20 minutes pass in the game, same with a task like mowing a lawn or whatever. Actions that would be too boring to show (like a one hour bus ride or sleeping for 6 hours) are displayed as a shorter version with an "x amount of time passes while you do ___" popup dialog. Here's the thing though, other than that being a limiting factor for the amount of actions you can do and the environment changing to reflect the time of day, you don't have any limitations. Instead, you have choices and predictable consequences. You can do something retarded like wake up at 3AM and go to the park, or skip school and walk around the mall at 10AM, but the characters around you will treat you like you're fucking mad. It's not a decisive "game over" screen, but it will limit you severely in how much other characters are willing to talk to you (and thus unlock porn scenes with them). It would act as both a cathartic "haha I want to take off my clothes and jump in front of a police car" choice for lolrandom urges you'll have while playing, as well as an intuitive way of making you worry about getting caught (e.g. having sex with your teacher) or acting out of character, because there are actual gameplay reasons to do so. You can also do edgy shit like kidnap someone and rape them, but only if you can feasibly get away with it.
Which is what brings me to the other side of the problem, too much realism. Thus, this idea is also somewhat of a survey, because I'm not sure much realism people would personally be willing to put up with. Having to wait 6-8 hours in real time for your character to finish sleeping would obviously be bad, but even a shorter example like making you take classes every day without a "skip" option could end up being annoying. And that's complicated in itself, because if 99% of people just spam the fast forward button like you usually do when playing a visual novel you don't give a shit about, it kind of negates the purpose of the whole thing. Plus it's possible that nobody other than me is autistic enough to even care about any of this in the first place.

>you have to get to school in time, you have to take classes and play minigames that make sense in context for instance, solve a math problem
I was literally just thinking of incorporating this. I was inspired by the rockstar game "Bully"
In it you go to classes and do minigames in different subjects. The two cool ones were math and geography because they were actual questions you had to solve in a time limit to get a good grade.
As for the extreme free choice thing, a subscription based model doesnt work well with that. As fun as it would be to code and write, I dont think patrons want a whole update to be all the different places and scenes where you can take your clothes off and get arrested
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
I actually had to pause for a second there and go "why the fuck would you need a subscription, just make the game and release it for free" before realizing that Patreon is a thing. Yeah, now that I think about it it's just about the worst thing to make if your aim is to get a monthly salary for it and release consistent updates. Still a fun hobby project though.
The streaking thing was also sort of a hyperbolic example, what I had in mind for it in most cases is more along the lines of waking up your entire family in the middle of the night, or saying "fuck you bitch lmao" to an authority figure. Something which a lot of games let you do and either handwave away with that character saying "Huh? Anyways…" or an instant game over. Mostly dialogue based things, coding a game where you can grab any object or perform any arbitrary action at any time would obviously be impractical. Key decisions like letting you interrupt a conversation or insult a person at any time might work though, especially if it's a game based around social manipulation and convincing people (which a lot of porn games tend to be).

A game where you play as a monster, or monsters, possibly a shapeshifter so that you can be a wide variety of monsters, and you defeat and rape various "Heroes" going around ranging from cute shotas and lolis just starting their adventures as a slime to breaking seasoned adventurers down completely as a mind flayer or something. You'd probably need to amass treasure and/or do "Evil" deeds to attract various types of adventurers. And chances are once you defeat them you can lock them up in your dungeon and rape them as you please and maybe even corrupt them to be your Dark Knights or whatever. Probably some generic "Take over the world" plot.
Basically I just want more games where the rape is the reward.
Alternate idea:
A game where you are someone (maybe some mad scientist milf or a demon) and you start by taking someone captive/blackmailing someone to obey or something and slowly brainwashing and/or corrupting them with a combination of pleasurable positive reinforcement, rape, mind-altering drugs, and eventually scaling up to things like complete mind erasure and personality replacement later on in the game. You then have your subjects do jobs both to keep your growing harem/cult/thing alive like doing jobs, and attracting new subjects while trying to not draw too much attention. Eventually you can get your brainwashed puppets into important positions of power and all the while everyone is your property. I especially want heavy themes of the "loss of self" everyone suffers. You probably attract some people by making them think you can help them achieve their life goals like a cute teen who wants to get a scholarship for school or get on a sports team while someone else might have political aspirations. Basically I just want it extra clear that there is no reversing the brainwashing process.

I think the bigger issue there is credit card companies and payment processors, unless you want to make a crowdfunding site that runs entirely on Bitcoins. Plus US law like the DMCA would still be in effect, so any kind of R34 or "parody game" could get sued off the site.

oh absolutely, it's just generally less likely to exist unless some artist feels really strongly about the project. That's why so many of the "pure grassroots" projects that get started like that are of existing properties like Korra instead of a pure idea.

Option A) Get some minimal rigging and modeling knowledge, and you can steal use literally any model out there, even if it's not from the asset store. Anything with a base nude mesh should work (mostly due to swappable clothes), afterwards grafting a penis/vagina/boobs onto it should only take a trivial amount of effort. Keep in mind though that you'll need something stylistically similar for characters in various ages/sexes, as well as environment props. Having one base male/female model you can adjust and put various hairstyles/clothes on is probably the best approach there, though you'll have to do some modeling/retrofitting yourself. Something like DAZ Studio is also worth considering, if you want to have more or less ready models (sometimes even with genitalia) you can customize via sliders.
Option B) Go all the way, and build the models yourself. Stealing assets and referencing like fucking crazy is fine, it doesn't take too much work and you'll have more control over the process with a consistent style for everything. Since 3D generally looks like shit unless you achieve proper photorealism, you can also choose to go in the other direction and have stylized cartoony models that are much easier to model/texture while being visually appealing, and needing way lower polycounts (which is especially important for the effort required to model the environment, as well as the obvious performance implications).
You can download animations and there are complete model/world packs out there, so I'd skip both of those. I'd also recommend pirating legitimately purchasing assets for things like character/camera controllers, so all you have to do is load up a few buildings, drag and drop some props in, place a few customized models with premade walk animations/idle scripts, and you can focus on making the rest of the game.

Huh that is a pretty close description of one of the characters in the game I'm making. The game isn't a reverse trainer, but interesting idea.
Actually reminds me of a House MD episode where it turned out a model seduced her own dad after feeding him drunk and then used his guilt to control him.
I've also known girls that were kinda like what you describe, although they always get disappointed in real life because the guys either don't develop their mastery fast enough or are being kinda service doms, which subverts the power dynamic.

A game where you have a supernatural phone app that lets you influence people's psychology.
It's very weak though, so you need ideal conditions to do anything useful and it takes a substantial amount of time to recharge between uses. The idea is that you can only do one thing with it, which is to give people "memories". You can't just press a button to turn them into sluts or shut off their brain, and giving them a memory/thought that they would immediately reject as insane won't work either. An example use case of your powers would be to warm up to a girl over several conversations, and then use the app to make her think that you're someone she's always wanted to kiss, or to change how they remember the ending of a movie to convince them that they might be stupid. The game is primarily centered around social manipulation, but you can use the app to take convenient shortcuts that would be normally impossible or take years.
As you get better at using your powers, you can gradually instill stronger and more fundamental memories in people that affect their worldview, though it still takes effort and timing. You can make them believe that they're living in a society where women are meant to be subservient to men, or that you're someone in high social standing that they desperately have to obey. Their personalities won't change, but they'll start behaving as if their altered memories were true and do what's most logical for them in that scenario. If they're a hardcore feminist type who doesn't care about the status quo for instance, making her remember that we're in a feudal patriarchy might only make her more defiant and aggressive towards men, while making somebody who's depressed think you're blackmailing her could end up in them simply committing suicide. With enough prep time, persuasion and the right memories though, you can gradually brainwash people into believing anything (you've always wanted to have sex with a dog, you're living in a world where incest is socially acceptable, I'm your childhood friend and I only physically abuse you for your own good, you owe me a debt and your family will die if you don't follow my orders, getting pregnant at the age of 20 is mandatory for every woman, etc).
Once you beat the game and max out your powers, the doujin meme kicks in and you can instantly rewrite people's minds in order to do insane shit like fucking somebody in front of an entire classroom without anyone noticing, making it so you can molest anyone on the bus at any time, chainfucking somebody and every single one of their female family members at once or making them rape their kids if you're an edgelord. Getting there takes a lot of points/credits/charges though, which you get by progressing on different girls and influencing them. There is no set route, so you can pick any fetish/theme you want for each girl and pursue that (though this would obviously work best with a game that lets you have "dynamic" conversations at any time where NPCs have some degree of independence, so you don't have to write and code all 23 possible routes for every single character).

I was thinking more along the lines of a game like Snow Daze. The "stats" are an indicator of the kind of scenes you can access at your given "level". If you have zero stats, the conversations you can have can only go as far as vanilla dating sim shit. If you've completed the path of a girl, the next one could start at a slightly more advanced stage, with the first date already involving sex. If you've completed 10-15 girls, you get access to the final options for all of them.
That's probably the least important aspect of the idea though, you only need some kind of a gating mechanism because letting people do whatever they want from the get-go will make you burn out and get bored after ten minutes. And if you can't implement the automated conversations properly, it's probably best to just have a limited number of scenes per girl that are all fully written with CGs at every important stage. Making the player spam "hold hands" 700 times to advance is obviously retarded.

If your skill is in writing, get something easy to make like renpy and just write stuff.
If your skill is in 3D modelling, just kill yourself because it always looks like a horror show.
And if you're not really good at anything, think which skill you would enjoy or be good at and make a game that's shit but will allow you to build that skill.
And if you really seriously lack one part, find someone to work with that can do those things. Plenty of places online where you can start collaborations.
Even a bad idea well produced is worth playing and even a good idea badly produced isn't worth shit. The goal is to develop producing ability. And pick up the book "The war of art" to learn to fight those inner demons and start creating.

Nope. I'm keeping that one and making that the third project after what I'm currently making.
Nope that is a pretty good idea too.
Okay here's one that I have no interest in making: since you're not easily going to get a japanese aesthetic or mindset going, why not embrace some of the western ideas and make it into an eroge?
You could do conan the barbarian type of game. Skulking monsters, evil wizards, tavern wenches, and beautiful princesses. Don't lean too heavy on the gameplay, it's window dressing not the main point. But the "save the damsel" is always compelling and had been in decline in general and that makes it interesting. You can subvert that trope in many interesting ways, like either once you saved the girl she slavishly offers to fulfill your wishes, or you kind of force her to do so. Lots of possibilities.
I also don't understand why nobody has taken one of the western mythologies, whether norse, greek or otherwise and ran with that. You could make a short game where you're zeus and fuck whatever you want. You could make a slightly longer game where dionysus has gone missing and you have to become the new god of wine and feasts.

Conversely if you absolutely want to be a weeaboo about it, you could read james clavells shogun and make a game set in feudal japan, where you're the john blackthorne character. Instead you lean it more to the sexual side, with the dirty disease ridden korean hookers at ports who are also kind of stupid, playing up your prestige until you get to bed samurai bitches who are skilled and follow up your orders to the minute detail.

Khadijah: Your employer and mentor for the tutorial. you woo her and dominate her, but she fucks off for the rest of the game after that
Sawda: Senpai who gets turned on watching you fuck other women
Kuzama: Her husband dies during the first battle you win. you come to comfort her, and end up seducing her
Abbey: a few battles later you recognize one of your lieutenants has a stunningly beautiful wife, you put him in intentional danger causing his death. you offer to marry his widow who is now in financial difficulty, but she doesn't want to until you reveal her husband's last will urging her to marry you. She gets very jealous of you.
Hafsa: Twin sister of Kuzama, shows up to move in with you, shocked at the relationship you have with her sister, but you gradually break her down too.
Zaynab: your half-sister who moves in with you midway through the campaign, and quickly begins an incestuous relationship
A game where you can set up different ways of spying on people. Maybe you own a motel in the boonies or near a popular vacation spot/beach. Or you're just a messed up father. You can do simple peep-holes to watch people changing/fucking, or set up spycams, or build channels in the ceiling to watch people through ducts.

Agent Carter trainer from the MCU. Objective of the game is to make Peggy conform to what was expected of a woman at the time, humiliating and demeaning her, and learn to love sexually pleasing her master.
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
Plot of the game could be you and her are uncover as husband and wife. Maybe the MC faked it to get Carter to himself. You start making demands of her in public to "keep up the role," and "play out," things in private to get her accustomed to the role. Eventually, she falls into it as time passes, and you have Peggy Carter, former badass agent, as your obedient, cocksucking, housewife.

It'd be a more story driven game I think, the RPG aspects serve it. The thing about Overwhored and Adoveria is they have sex but the overarching story just sucks. And the mechanics could be fleshed out more, like actually battling the Amazon before initiating sex, that's something CoC gets right. Guess I kinda want it to be like Last Sovereign but I wouldn't use rpg maker, probably renpy or build something from scratch. If you've played any white wolf VNs, that battle system isn't bad and give an overmap for a character to travel around. You'd have a few interesting quests to check out that would involve some NPCs, have a few scenes with the girls then go off to battle. Could make it like a Kamidori rip off with less grinding.
If I was given a studio and all the money possible? Dynasty Warriors rip-off, protag and all the girls get styles, map is kind of like DW Empires with the ability to give orders.
Storywise: The Empire is in decay, cuckery abounds and debauchery is the norm. The Emperor is dying and doesn't have much time left. Knowing that after his death his empire will fall, creates sons and daughters spreads them throughout his Empire. He knows they'll rise after he falls, so he saves one son as a successor and trains him to be his replacement.
Protag ends up in an orphanage. Unfortunately, it's run by a woman called "Mistress," dark elf naturally, she treats her wards harshly. Any mistakes are quickly cracked down upon. This is where the player gets to shape their character. Does he keep his head down and obey Mistress, which would result in a meek personality but Mistress gives him time off so he studies some books he gets from her, does he do the work but secretly wishes her dead which results in him developing cunning and noticing things around him, or does he actively rebel and gets punished but ultimately makes him stronger and dull the pain, resulting in a headstrong and confident personality if Mistress doesn't break him. This would be to develop a trait system, some traits you only through story events and such.
Anyway, while at the orphanage player meets Abby and Maya. Abby keeps her head down and glares at Mistress behind her back. Maya though is a nervous wreck and fails at even the most basic things. Player given a choice for example to try and protect her from a punishment but Mistress overpowers him and says even when you try to protect someone, sometimes you fail and then punishes player later anyway for interfering.
Following this, a fire is started at the Orphanage one day and that's when you decide to escape. You didn't have time to check the others so the player runs for all they are able. Player ends up moving for days away from the city and eventually falls over. This is where a Knight saves him. A Dark Knight. This is where more development happens. If you kept your head down, he'd call you a sissy and say you arn't worth his time. The player sets his cloak on fire and he then teaches the player some magic. If player wished Mistress dead, he steals the knights coin purse and runs away but later that night finds the knights blade to his throat. He drags the player along and teaches him a few sneaky things. If player was punished, Knight notices the marks and offers to train him in his dark ways.
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
Either path you choose, the Knight will value strength and personal power, anything he sees as weak he'll yell at you for and if you tell him you want to form a happy harem he'll punch you with his gauntlet. The player stays with the Knight for a while and while the player may regard the Knight as a surrogate father or a complete bastard, there comes one last test. The knight explains to the player one night that he needs to sacrifice someone close to him in order to ascend to the plane of his god and continue his bloody battles there, luckily, he found you.
This is going to be the players first true test of his abilities and traits he's gathered. Does he set fire to the trees and run, does he bug bite the Knight over several days or does he face him in battle and try to kill him outright. Either way, the player then has access to the world map and a few skills. So the player head to the closest town and hears the news. The prodigal son that was supposed to save the empire after the Emperor's death is basically gluttony incarnate, cracks down on citizens, making moves on married wives that kinda thing. Player spends a few days in town before first major event happens, slaving ring raiding the village. Player helps fight them back but the village lose a few people. Player can offer to help out with the funeral service or dig a grave for some extra money, with checks over how good he can do such a thing. The player's actions take the notice of Sofia, the mayor of the village. They talk and she says that the raids are getting worse and she's putting together a plan, she wants to create a mercenary band funded by her with you as leader. Intelligent responses Sofia will like while players who go strength or cunning builds can display what they can do for her and will still impress her with practical examples of the player's skills.
Anyway, player is given a small troop of local villagers and they'll serve as your manpower for any large scale battles. Player can then check in with Kaiya about the death of her brother and help her over it.
Anyway, it's getting late. Player goes on a few missions, encounters Ramua as the villain. Tracks down Kadiha and finally gets revenge on his Mistress, she helps train his army and some of his girl's sex skills. Swadia you encounter on the road and is a patron of the lust god but instead of screwing everything that moves, forming harems and having lots of happy sex is immensely more powerful than just cucking people. She helps you start forming the harem, dragging Kaiya and Sofia into it. You encounter Abby again as your army grows in size and you need a second in command. That's when you learn about what the Emperor did and you are a child of his scheme. What the player learns later is that so is she and that any child born from between you would be what the Emperor hoped for. Amaya stays with Kaiya after her village is raided, she joins harem and helps around the village. Zalora comes from a foreign land and is looking for a simple job but takes to the task of cleaning your command tent and being your personal maid when you need her. Tahira you meet fighting in the south and was a menial slave working in a camp but is ever so grateful you rescued her because now she can become your slut and half the dialogue between you and the player is trying to fend her off because if you give in, she'll just constantly have sex with you and even if you have the strength shove her off, she'll hold you down because she wants your D that badly. So just verbally abuse her, she'll get off to that and you can keep adventuring. Thalestris is the Amazon queen you meet while exploring the jungles. You beat her in battle and want the help of her warriors. She agrees on the condition that you survive 13 days of Snu-Snu with her. Player encounters Maya again when they take a small village and slowly nurse her back to health. She will remember the player from the orphanage and the scars he has in trying to protect her. Sahirah is the
egyptian pristess you meet in the southern desert and Ilyana is the loli you meet in the forest.
I spent way too much time on this and it's just some thoughts anyway. If I planned it out right I could probably make a decent story. And to you, >>48757 using the Juwayriyya to describe Amazons is pretty bad. That's an arab name, not a psudo-greek name where the Amazon myths come from. Thalestris for instance actually did want to have Alexander the Great's child and they had 13 days of Snu-Snu together but she supposedly died before that could happen.

Ehh, don't have many ideas really. RPG, use a decent engine, involve traits so that you feel like your character is growing. Gameplay itself would be turned base with allies in a party or on a map like Kamidori and movement on a world map would move the story along. I'm trying to picture it myself but all I get is Kamidori or Rance and not what it would be.

Typically it's nice when you get some sort of mythology to draw inspiration from. What's preventing you from making a cyberpunk school? You can make the tone/atmosphere as dark or light as you please.
Read some neuromancer or philip k dick to get the atmosphere if you need.
———-
You could also go asimovian route, have for example a school of robotics, where they've figured that giving robots a childhood /raising produced better results. You can play with to what degree they're human/fleshy or robotic/enhanced. Have different robots for different races. Or only part of the population are robots so they better learn how to integrate.
—————–
You could sit down and think for a bit how if you just took your own high school, but added orcs and elves (and whichever you like to add to it) and think about the things that would be different. Just start writing and accept all your new ideas (ideas are always easy to delete/modify later. Just trust any idea as a good idea at first glance).
——–
I always like the idea of private schools in the english sense; there's something erotic about the formality and hierarchy of such places to me.
In the end it's also good to just go with ideas that make you like working on the project.

Has anybody ever thought about an Atomic Betty game? Were the game starts with a loli Betty, then later on a teen Betty, and finally an adult Betty
All three stories would involve sexual hijinks and romance and you shape her story and she would have a different supporting cast depending on what choices you make
Example: Say you did bad at PE, and your PE Teacher suggest Betty does a private lesson with just the two of you. If you do then Betty participates. Only except the PE Teacher plans to molest her. This will lead to a later choice were you can decide to expose him, obey him, or confront him. If you confront him with the special requirements then there will be a hidden backstory with the PE Teacher and you would be given the option to either change him or destroy his life. If you change him then there will be a option to make him a supporting character, and you can even have the PE Teacher allow Betty to have some fun with her. Making the PE Teacher Betty's Sex Friend. As he helps with Betty's PE as he playfully fucks her. There will also be a PE outfit with cutouts were Betty can train with while the PE Teacher fucks her
Interested for an Atomic Betty sex adventure game?

A River City Ransom-eque game where you're a delinquint, or maybe it simply takes place in RCR's world of 80s japan, anyway, you're a delinquint and you go about making sure nobody messes with you, maybe obtain a harem, I've no idea for the story, artstyle would be RCR reminiscent.
Character creation would be simple, you pick male or female, cock size/breast size hairy/shaved and depending on that different people will react different ways, you could also walk around naked if you wanted to, streaking would up your "rep" and a flashing mechanic to just whip your tits/dick out, seeing different townspeople's different reactions, maybe you got small tits/cock, and the person you've flashed calls it cute, and fondles you.
Maybe you've got a big meaty dick/mega milks and the person gets a little intimidated and walks off, or whatever.
Combat system in case you don't wanna do lewd shit, with grapple, punch, kick being your starters, grapple you can do more stuff maybe even facefuck that cop who's been hassling you for selling those kindergartners cigarettes mid-battle, I dunno.
I dunno I like the idea of a lewd delinquent game and if someone wants to do it, go ahead

I've been trying to make something out of this for a while and have gotten absolutely nowhere. The idea is simple a standard RPG like D&D, TES, Fallout, Shadowrun, Mass Effect whatever name you want to use they all boil down to the same basic formula, interesting multiple choice adventures.
Players work from a small town or hub, they buy gear/upgrades, speak to locals, visit the brothel ect. One way or another the town has a job board that sends them all over the place. Completing jobs can add new characters/improvements to the town for a sense of progression.
Each job is a self-contained multiple choice adventure. The player is a mercenary so how good or evil they are is up to the player. Lots of jobs are morally grey or require you to pick and choose your morals. Jobs vary in morality from working with slavers to saving towns from evil. Choices made during jobs are meaningful and lead to different outcomes. Gear/upgrades you bought previously in town can unlock new ways to complete the job. Before and after finishing a job you look for news, this will give you extra details of the situation and let you know how things resolved at the end for some closure.
Since it's a porn game it needs porn, each job has its own sexual encounters which you can hit or miss depending on choices. Sexual encounters will vary widely with fantasy/alien (depending on setting) characters you can screw or witness get screwed. Due to the porn nature you can do fun or dark stories that you wouldn't see in a normal RPG.
The original plan was a male protagonist with a submissive female companion who is very insistent she is for your hands only. Although I've also floated the idea of a male only, female only or male/female sibling pair (which may allow dual control).
What has stalled me is not the writing but coming up with job ideas and working out good multiple choice options. Also achieving a reasonable depth of multiple choices required to finish an adventure. I think somewhere in the area of 4-5+ choices at least is required. Most games will ask you stupid pointless boring crap like what kind of soda you want which makes no difference to the story. Choices should matter so the end result is wildly different like the villagers being safe or half of them being killed or the village being enslaved as fuck toys because you decided the goblins paid better.

Crusader Kings II goes in a similar direction thats true. But even with adult mods it doesn't have much to fap to. Why not heavily cut down crusader kings and have a lot sex related options? Crusader Kings gameplay works seeing its success which is a good basis.
VN with incest and hide the incest somewhat from patreon eyes. Don't add vaginal sex with the family members but do non vaginal scenes, lots of teasing as well as other characters and milk that as long as possible.
Anything else with actual gameplay won't be easy to implement or no guaranteed easy money.

What kind of idiot would come here looking for ideas to make easy money? You know how you make easy money? You grab some good looking gobbos, make a half baked story and do some good renders, boom you've now got 5k+ patreon income. You can do even better if you cater to the incest or cuck crowd. Hell cater to furries if you want cash those guys are loaded and they throw money at even the worst trash tier game. If you want to make an actual game that isn't generic patreon trash that requires effort and isn't guaranteed to actually get you any money.

How about a loli RPG game with Mindy McCready/Hit-Girl as the main character. With some elements being inspired by Alpha Protocol
Young schoolgirl by day & deadly superhero by night. Hit-Girl along with her partner and dad, Damon McCready/Big Daddy, protects the city from dangerous criminals, supervillains, yakuza, cartels, and a bunch of corrupt police and politicians
While this goes on Mindy/Hit-Girl will encounter moments that will lead to decision making on how they and the city would benefit, and the impact it would bring. Collecting money, intel, and weapons. There would also be some management to keep yourself running on income to continue your vigilante activities. Use the darkweb to purchase weapons, equipments, armor, costume, and decorations for your base of operations. You coul even earn money from it depending on what you do. Do market trading to make money, but require a certain skill to have a better chance. Or post videos of naked girls to earn money. Depending on the girls, and would require Mindy of putting hidden cameras in the girl's changing room and shower room, etc. Or post some vids of Mindy and Damon in costume while hiding their faces and doing activities together and post it online
As Mindy McCready, you go to school like always and gain stats for intelligence, persuasion, etc. And get yourself a part-time job. However, there is a chance to gain intel from certain places no one expects
As Hit-Girl, you must bring justic to all the wrong-doing that have been committed, and just kill them off. While you gain experience, intel, money and whatever, but there are choices that will have an impact on how the city will be effected. While you get yourself some new costumes that would affect your enemies and yourself while gaining some bonus abilities
While this goes on the relationship wit Big Daddy would also be affected depending on what you do and how you wanted it. For Damon McCready/Big Daddy, he's a single dad who is quite horney and wants to caress his dick on a young lady. While raising Mindy into a killing machine he also sometimes tends to fantazise about putting his dick on his daughter, but felt he shouldn't and keeps it to himself. Depending on your choices you can have Mindy to hook your dad with someone, and/or you can have Mindy help her dad feel good and will lead to the option of having a caual relations, or a romance option
There would also be romance options for Mindy if prefered. But all goals lead to the same direction. Hae Hit-Girl be a hero against evil

Except for peachette all of the super crown characters aren't created by Nintendo. Thats even safer than the usual parodies like the avatar game. Just don't use peachette and build it on fair use basis.

Avatar has kind of already been done. And a text only game isn't bad if it has a lot of content and you put some work into it but you need direction, difference between Free Cities being a slaving sim and Academy of Fetishes involving literal shit because dev is a patreon whore.

I was spitballing ideas for a game in another thread, and someone recommended using Renpy to possibly build a game. The idea was that it would be set in a similar universe as Hogwarts Mystery, with Merula Snyde as one of the witches you could date/break.
Writing probably isn't a problem, but coding and drawing isn't my best skill. Should I switch to an easier program, or just push forward?
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
Sounds like a good reason to go forward with this concept. Starting first year like in the game will probably work for now, set in 1984 when Merula actually started attending Hogwarts. Add a few side-fucks and original characters, and some kind of story to tie everything together.

This is an idea that I had for a while, which is partly based on Star Wars's own What If stories called "Infinities", and it made me wonder what would happen to Anakin if Padme was killed in Episode 2 from that blast shot were they were almost shot down while going after Count Dooku?
Since the Rebels TV introduce time-travel it also opened up the idea of the Multiverse and perhaps the "Infinities" timeline. So I'm thinking could a game be made set in the Clone Wars, but as a choice narrative/choose-your-adventure
While most of it involves combat and strategies the main one would be to have a romance with someone in the universe. Playing as Anakin Skywalker you have the chance to participate in combat and strategies that could win the war, but also get a chance to romance someone well known or with little attention
While the game has the same trainer elements there are some choices that will take your MC towards light/dark/neutral, and you would have to pic one girl as the main one if the story were to continue till the moment in Episode 3 were Palpatine reveals himself and you would have to choose if you would side/reject him, or run as Order 66 happens. And it could go different ways with your main female companion depending on the choices. It will either go the same way as in Episode 3 and she dies, or she lives and escapes with your kids, but you could run away with her as Order 66 happens
If a sequel happens then depending on your choices it would put Anakin in the position were he helps build the Rebel Alliance by stealing a number or build up a ship. Or his offspring does it as Anakin becomes Darth Vader
Different choices will affect different outcomes depending on what you do, and would go a different way depending on it, but the outcome will be the same
Anybody think they could give this a go?

I was thinking about this kind of concept recently. What about an mmo sort of adult game, where you can quest and all that. The setting is so so but i would prefer post-apocalypse. You could have raiding tribes (guilds) where some sort of fucking hierarchy takes place with the players they've captured a nd enslaved or maybe with each other idk. Or you could have it where you compete for a mate, or you just hunt down and rape people and there is no guild mechanic. Idk. It seems like a good idea in my head.

Why not make a game were you play as Thane Kyrell from "Star Wars: Lost Stars". But the difference is you have to play as either Empire or Rebel. However, he story would have to go on the same direction as the canon materials. The manga version would be used as a good material for character design if anyone can draw anime.
Each side would have their own love interests to choose from, which involves either romance or harem, but each would have their own perks and gameplay.
For Empire you earn money for your service, but you also gain better equipment as you rank up. You would even need to defend the Empire's ships from raiders that are attempting to steal it. You will also have access for new skills and perks to evolve your character. Get yourself or pimp up your fighter, or ship. Make more money by going on casinos and bet on how much you want. Even get a new hairstyle or a place of your own
For Rebel, you need to build up the group by earning money from doing odd jobs, sell junk, or steal. Go to some underground casinos and learn to play Sabacc for a bigger jackpot. You would also have to buy or loot gears from your enemies to use. There would also be missions were you would have to sabotage enemiy ships, but you would also have the option to steal ships from he Empire, but will be difficult unless you got a high level and a good crew. Hell, steal a Star Destroyer or a Super Star Destroyer. You could even explore other planets to salvage, build, and restore ships from the Clone Wars or Old Republic era to use. And if you are fully trusted you could even customize the Rebel Alliance to appear how you want it to be. Customize ships to make them look better or more. Maybe modify the logo, give the Rebel Soldiers new gears and have them appear in Sith Trooper armor. Capture planets, stations or bases to use. Open a business with space pirate Hondo to make more money. Do infiltration and save prisoners to recruit to your side. And you could learn persuasion, and if it's higher level you can even convince criminals and Imperials to side with the Rebels. Learn new skills like assassins or learn from a Mandalorian. Even learn combat skills from Luke Skywalker, Alexsandr Kallus, Zeb Orrelios, and Sabine Wren. Just literally you can customize your gear and everything else to be the best. And like the Empire route you can choose between Romance or Harem. With Romance you would have to pic only one girl and that will have an impact on the story you are cementing your character on. Like if you have Thane romance Sabine you gain access to Mandalorian skills and gear with additional special missions. But the romance will have an impact on the route of the story. And if getting her pregnant their child will appear as a Mandalorian and would join the Resistance with Leia and Poe. Poe being the older brother figure and nephew to her mom as she and Thane are both defectors
Gameplay and combat need some work on. But if done right this game could be something else more

Global variables, usually you set them the first time the program runs, like if you have starting gold 0 then the global variable is set to 0 at start, or starting gold 100 the variable for tracking gold is set to 100 at start.
After that the value would be increased or decreased depending on whether you gain or lose gold.
Non global variables would be like in the middle of a function (small part of a program that gets called a lot) so the variable only exists as long as the function is running and then clear when the function ends.

I've always had this idea for making an H game combining 3 of my favorite things, Metroidvania platformer, collecting stuff and straight shota. The idea is basically Forest of the Blue Skin and Eroico but improved.
>You are the son of the demon lord which has imprisoned countless female demons to be his army
>Your mission is to free those demons, and your own mother, imprisoned by your father to summon more demons
>The way to do it would be either defeat, which would cast them back to the demon realm, or capture one, which would put them in your quarters
>To capture them you have to defeat them in an specific way to be able to fuck them
>Once fucked the demons get attached to you and go to your quarters willingly
>The point of capturing the demons is that each grant you a new ability, like the souls in Aria of Sorrow
>You may need abilities of captured demons to capture new ones, like flame demons needing to be attacked by water in order to be fucked
>Once captured you can visit them in your quarters to revisit H scenes
>You can also find different ways to fuck them using different abilities you've collected so far in order to unlock new H scenes and leveling up the monster and thus the ability
>For example by capturing the werewolf girl you gain the ability to transform into a wolf that gives you more move speed and let's you go though small paths
>Using the wolf form in one of your girls like maybe the rabbit girl you unlock a new you level her up Rabbit girl would give you double jump but you may additionally gain jump height for the level up
What do you guys think? I wish I could make it, I will learn to, probably.
This is actually an Avatar game I'm working on that has no connection to either. Not even gonna hide the fact that the art is taken from the show, unlike Alternate Legends, where he apparently traced, then bitched out.
I pitched the idea and people said to go for it. Mostly just an experiment to learn Renpy. Writing in the main focus, so the art and sprites are shit-tier.

This is an idea I thought about for a while since seeing Mavis in the Vampirella costume and I've been hoping for a superhero-themed game featuring monster girls in superhero-themed costumes. Each from different series but in the same universe with slight redesign
The game would feature a human MC who is a member of a group that originally exist to stop evil beingsfrom destroying the world. Until times changed and monsters are co-existing with human and ensuring peace is secured. While a Human-Monster event is taking place a man name Abraham Van Helsing appeared and summons an ancient beast to undo the peace that has come. However, Van Helsing unknowingly and accidentally summons a demon from the underworld, the Cthulhu, as it brings in a demon army. With both humans and monsters aiming to stop it, with the MC participating it. Van Helsing attempts to undo it but is too late as the Cthulhu kills him and takes prisoner his granddaughter. However, the MC finds and picks up an ancient amulent from the granddaughter as he uses it. Causing an explosion as the ripple effects are caused. There you fight against a possesed monster and use the amulet on it. Revealing to be Mavis Dracula, but with no memory, as you take her back to your headquarters. But not until you find that the Cthulhu will return. While the demon infestation is not known yet it is however on the verge of increasing, and the organization head has appointed you as the new branch leader and form a team, as all the others are dead or possessed.
With the HQ damage and in need of repairs, and you need money to fund projects. Leaving you with only Mavis with no memory or what she is to you, while still figuring out her powers. Until she finds an old Vampirella costume and puts it on. Leaving you with an idea on what to do and how to do it. You decided to build a team of female monsters to fight against the demon invaders and save the world. Also, seeing her in the costume makes you quite horney that you want to fuck her
This is the premise, but you get the idea. You are the only male human leader in the branch with a magic amulet as you decided to recruit female monsters as superheroes to fight the demons as you use what resources you have and train them with new skills, powers, and equipment to fight. You can also build friendship with your teammates to make the teamwork better, and turn them into your personal harem. Train them into harlots and make money with their performance to upgrade your base, equipment, uniforms, tech, skills, etc. Send them into battle to increase their level
The management system would be similar to Something Unlimited, but would have a kind of RPG with combat. The characters would each have their own personalities, and would require that you be in better terms with them to have better intereactions, and a higher chance for them to fuck you. The characters would be different age ranging from lolis to teens to whatever
Recruit monster girls from different series to fight and dress them up as superheroes. Don't know much but this is what I got so far:
- Mavis Dracula from Hotel Transylvania as Vampirella
- Sadako from Toshi Densetsu Series as Nightveil
- Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family as ???
Well I'll leave that up to you if there's any. Who here thinks can do this?

Similar to Four Elements Trainer. And the idea I'm that you could use a hero identity from different series, like a zombie character as Zombie Tramp, or create a hero based on the theme for these monster girls and design costumes for them as their hero identity

So here's this fucking ungodly abomination of an idea that I'm never going to make happen, and probably nobody is, and I'm OK with that.
Your father died recently under strange circumstances. His last will was for all his riches to go to his brother and the ownership of his most profitable mine to go to you. Unfortunately, and for a few months now, the mine has become overrun with monsters and feral beasts. Thankfully, your uncle is willing to give you a lifeline. He'll use his contacts with a number of slave traders to be able to offer you "explorers" to send into the mines and exploit its riches. Or to be your own personal fuckpets, it hardly matters either way.
Setting-wise, it'd be fantasy, specifically around the Cinqueccento or XVI century. Mechanics-wise, there'd be 4 main stats: Physique, governing melee (Strength and Resistance). Sensitivity, governing magic (Affinity and Aura). Mobility, governing agility (Accuracy and Evasion). Charm, governing Eloquence and Fertility/Virility. All these stats can be enhanced through the use of potions, but using them will warp the user's body in specific ways (EG: Boosting Phys. can result in a character gaining muscle mass or becoming taller. Boosting Sens. can result in localized or general body expansion). Using too many potions to enhance a stat will, however, end up affecting all the other stats negatively.
Health, Mana and skills are dependant on level and race. A slave can pass their skills and Stat (growth) Rates onto their children.
Gameplay would be instanced. On the one hand, you'd have the settlement around the mine, where your slaves can be assigned to a number of tasks that'll yield more or less results (EG: Cash, resources, more slaves) depending on their stats. You'll also be able to change the race of any of your slaves by fusing them with monsters caught in the mines as well as fucking your slaves, either for your enjoyment or to impregnate them, which will result in you getting a free slave sooner or later depending on the impregnated slave's race.
On the other hand, you got the mines, which would play out as short combat gauntlets. An X number of fights in a row with brief events inbetween, which would reward you with cash, resources, healing, etc… Once you've completed all the fights, the expedition is over, a week passes and the slaves return.
The main focus of the gameplay would be on getting slaves, transforming them to your liking and then either fucking them, if that's what you care for, or breeding them to get stronger slaves so you can clear out the mines more easily.
If anyone's got questions about this godless clusterfuck, feel free to ask.

I ain't partial to bestiality'n all, and if it was to be added, it'd be your slaves getting fucked to birth half-bloods. Based on your gender, I guess it could be ammended so that you could fuck and get fucked by the right kind of creature to get the same result.
That said, I personally wouldn't add it and probably would get modded in either way.

Setting is a famous border city on the edge of a magical frontier full of monsters, magic, and lost treasure, set in a fantasy late-renaissance era time period (So melee weapons, formation fighting, and early musketeers). It used to be a staging area for expeditions into the frontier and the first line of defense when the locals got uppity, but after a 2 generation long lull is the monster attacks, the residence have gotten fat and lazy. This is made worse by the comforts of life introduced by magic, the study of which is the most advanced in this city as its on the border with the magical source of the setting. Think magical smartphones and such.
You play as the teenage son of a soldier of some renown, who made solo expeditions into the frontier for months on end before eventually disappearing entirely. Your mom's dead so your uncle basically raised you. You live in one of the farming towns that exist on the city's outskirts and one day all your town's garrisoned guardsmen get pulled into the city for some kind of massive construction project. Shortly after, your village is attacked by goblins and you, along with your uncle who's taught you how to use a sword and shield rally a desperate defense.
This kicks off a gameplay loop of having to recruit and train fighters from the city, men who start as the city's downtrodden but eventually include nobles and such, managing resources and your relationship to the city's power structure, defending what's yours potentially from both sides if you fuck up the last bit, and taking the fight to the monsters.
Managing resources and interacting with people plays out like a visual novel while combat works like a turn based strategy rpg like Fire Emblem.
You can take monster girls captive which you can either keep for yourself, use to staff various installations, or handed out as rewards to your soldiers. Once you completely dominate a race, you take their princess/head priestess/chief's daughter/etc. captive and she becomes a unique npc you can either break or romance. Once your town is completely safe from monsters, you're forced to fight the city and more or less are thrust into the position of leading a revolution against the duchess who, as it turns out, was behind trying to wipe out the border towns on purpose.

Partly based on the actual comic of the same name, but would feature a teenage Peter Parker with experience being forced to attend a Summer Program in the "Xavier School for the Gifted" by Logan. Who was the Head Master of the school until he disappeared, but not until he passed a message to Peter that a spy is in the School and he needed someone he trust to not only find the spy, but look after the students while he's gone
The position is junior teacher and he has to teach and lead a team of mutants. The only problem for him however is that all of his students are girls, and he would have to lead them in battle
The idea for this is that it's similar to Four Element Trainer and it would have a harem and romance route with multiple endings. Depending on the number of X-girls that will be with Spider-Man. And the more you and the X-girls level up there will be new skills to develop. And if you go romance route then that character will have a special skill she will perform with Spider-Man. There would also have to be a morality route on certain missions that will impact the ending of the game
The romance route will also have a dating system that will further develop one of the X-girls, and the higher the relationship the better the skills you'll get. The harem route is similar, but will play on the morality route, and if it's high then they'll get nearly all the bonus skills, but for each of the character you'd pic. The stories will involve both of their villains being involved with each other
The missions will also be world event that will have an impact on how the world will see both you and the X-girls. Some would even allow you to change world moments and/or you can conquer certain islands to be made into a state for mutants and other super-powered beings. They will also include diplomacy and others, which will make it easy if you have a telepath, but will affect relations and how to prevent any backlash. If telepath you'd need to find solutions that'll make i even easier. Or an alternative
Each X-girls will have their own stories, and they too will be involved with Spider-Man's. Both in his superhero life and civilian life. Both routes will have an impact on Peter Parker himself and how he stands. Peter will also have to show the X-girls how they view him as, and the choices will affect how they view you
Current X-Girls I'm thinking so far:
X-23
Stepford Cuckoos (Esme /Sophie/Celeste/Or all three)
Young Jean Grey
Well you get the idea

Based on the actual movie, but in a modern day setting. You play as an ex-ballerina who fell from grace after a scandal that cost you everything, but in reality you were betrayed by your partner and girlfriend who swindled you and cost you everything. Now you live in a small apartment with a couple of room mates who would prefer staying home and watch porn, with one registering from an illegal porn sites as they prefer pre-teen girls
Suddenly you were called and were offered a position as a coach to teach these young girl to become ballerinas. Among then is Felicia, who you instanly taking a liking and you found yourself in a presence of a bunch of pretty young girls who would be willing to do anything it takes to be the best. And if you play your cards right then it will mean anything
The idea for this is that it's a trainers game were you train these girls into becoming balleinas, but also train them to be your personal sex slaves which while you train then you can also molest them, andThere would also be an event trip were you can have an orgy as you and your room mates can fuck the girls all day and night while you train them to become ballerinas. Even buy lewd outfits for them to be trained in
This will not just be a trainer game, but a choose-your-own-adventure game with an added romance route if you choose to persue a romance with one of the girls. Like with Felicie as an example were you go on dates with her and you can even brin her home to stay and fuck alot. While your roommates spend their time fucking the girls
The game will involve you making more money but also win a number of championships until you reach the end and confront the people who had betrayed you
However, it's important that you build trust with these girls or else a number of options will be blocked, and maybe they can rat you out to the authorities. Do favous for them and participates in sides missions to build favourability. The higher the favourability the more willing they will choose to have sex with you and do any lewd activities you want them to do
Some of the characters will have to be OC to fit the setting the game will take place
This will depend honestly if it can be done

Too many games take established universes and then throw in OC main characters that are trash. Even when ideafags are just throwing shit out I never understand how they miss obvious things.
DBZ trainer game where you play as Yamchad. Takes place during buu saga. ALL THE FUCKING GUYS DISAPPEAR TO FIGHT THE BIG BAD BESIDES YAMCHA ANWAY SO WHY NOT JUST HAVE HIM GO FUCK ALL THE GIRLS THAT ARE OFF SCREEN. Its just so obvious I don't know how its not a thing

Because using a preestablished and then twisting it to fit whatever the game premise is is retarded, so it's better to use a foreign element that you can actually give form to without it being out of place.
Yamcha is a faggot that got cucked by Vegita. So your concept falls apart in the first line.

my premise is flawless and OCs are retarded. But keep coming up with dumb shit like they always do, last time somebody here came up with a dbz concept it was the some shit about being a descendant of freiza and before that somebody had some shit about being the son of a woodcutter. All bad

A Yu Gi Oh Duel Academy Corruption game, you can use "Shadow Duels" and a forgotten Millennium Item, maybe even have a spirit like the pharaoh inside it, only instead of a pharaoh the spirit was actually a slave trader or something like that.

>Needed a millennium item and some faggot in a box in order to be good
I like your idea but that part is unnecessary shit. You just need skill alone and an autistic obsession like Kaiba. He should have been the protagonist.
The game should be able to be done easily in RPG maker if you can integrate code from YGOpro or make your own simple engine to walk around and then integrate YGOpro on it. I'm pretty sure YGOpro is open source and it's up-to-date with the card game.
>You start as a nobody in the academy
>You challenge other people to shadow duels
>The losing condition is that they become your slaves
>You build an empire
>Iconic characters are legendary duelists that gives you special rewards
>The females obviously would be used for fucking
>You are actually free to build your own deck
>All duelists have thematic decks
>The duelist who is into tentacles have a tentacles oriented deck
>So on and so forth
My only problem would be if you have all cards available fr the beginning to build your deck freely or have you unlocking your cards when you win a duel or buy them in shops for game progression.
Either way I'd add an amazoness oriented deck muscular qt.

Making an AI for a complex cardgame would be tough, really tough if you want them to be not-shit.
I mean I'd be willing to do some code and writing if this idea gets an artist (since the artfag above is just an Idea Guy apparently) but AI is something a coder would spend years on even if it gets limited to just GX cards and no new lewd cards.
Cheating by looking at the player's hand is actually a performance booster and simplification from a coder's perspective. Four wildcards must compute through every single permutation of the database while four concrete cards has much less prediction to go through. A possible middleground, predicting what is in the opponent's hand, is more steps meaning more time coding.
For example you would need to create a Possible Card object for example, adding a new object when a card is added to the hand which includes each possible card in the database except those that don't fit, like adding Trap Hole to your hand when adding any Monster with 1400 or less ATK, then you'd need to add second-tier removal, if someone plays a card face-down and it gets flipped as Trap Hole, but Trap Hole is only in one possibility space for the hand, then that entire space needs to be deleted. But if Trap Hole could be in both then…And so on and so forth. Complex. It can be handled with enough documentation in the Cards class and //very carefully// adding new cards after the original AI is developed though so a Sequel would be developed faster.
So yeah, if this is going to be a proper idea and not tossed into the ring I'd be up for it, but AI will be a Bitch for a cardgame.

"Original Guy" here, I wouldn't mind working on the art for the game, the problem is that I don't have much experience with illustration (I just started using Illustrator a few weeks ago, and I stopped drawing years ago), so I don't know how much I can actually do, I can make the character models, that's not a problem, but I don't know if I can properly draw a actual scene.

> I want to make an AI just like the official games for my fan erogame
here is an advice: don't!
instead of wasting resources trying to make a very hard and frustrating AI for the game, what you can do is justify AI's weaknesses with story (ex. the girls are under drugs or are total noobies or they have other clothing or conditions that make the game harder for them), this not only gives a better approach to the general game, this also makes the overall game easier and faster not only to make, but also to enjoy, as a erogame player you dont need to replicate the original based game to get the feeling, you need the rewards after "some" effort is applied, not after defeating a chessmaster all-seeing AI on the game after who knows what hours
this "making the AI hard' thing reminds me of those strip poker games where the chance of getting something out of it only happens after the computer stops cheating and let you win (or like holiday island where there is a variable telling you who will win, no matter the results of the actual poker game)

Why not just reverse engineering the AI logic behind Legacy of the Duelist? As far as I'm aware, most if not all characters have different AI's to fit their decks, or maybe they just use an specific set of rules.
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
You are basically suggesting we take Legacy, analyze it down to the cellular level, take out the heart, the liver, the kidneys and the left lung and then create a cyber-waifu around what is left. Oh and then I need to convert the cyber-waifu into a goddamn Martian because the code is in a different engine in a different programming language. That's even assuming magically Legacy had all of it's DRM removed.
It is totally possible, but Fuuuck doing that unless I have 3 years and a full time competitive salary. I don't have the time or energy to do that for free.
It would actually likely be easier to just make a new AI than copying Legacy. We wouldn't need to convert from whatever-the-fuck legacy runs on into Python at least.
Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.
Not quite. I understand that reverse engineering the game is hard, but depending on how it works, it can be applied to the game. If it works as I think it does, every AI duelist in Legacy of the Duelist have a different behavior. So you can just try to mimic different patterns for AI depending in the kind of deck they have.
You are right though, so you might as well just mod Legacy by adding it stuff like an adventure mode, if possible.

We are planning on a game where the main character is a freshman at Duel Academy who gains access to a Macguffin Device, a Ring with a pink gemstone that grants the user the ability to call a Shadow Game and special rewards for winning. aka you mindbreak whores by defeating them in a Duel.
The time period set is intentionally vague. The beginning of the game is set during the Zero Reverse of the 5ds era (ie the massive explosion that nukes Domino about 17 years prior to episode1 of 5ds) except this time instead of nuking the city it fucks up Time creating all the little inconsistencies and game mechanics like the endlessly repeating week common in games like this. Dealing with the time fuckery will be a part of the plot.
Anyway the first section of the game will include 3 girls to mindbreak and corrupt, as well as one tutorial girl that is partially corrupted.
Alexis is the tutorial, she duels the player after he finds the yet-unnamed Ring and you fuck with her mind a little, mostly making her forget the event entirely.
The 3 girls are going to be the named female Slifer students (there will also be generic female Slifers for later game mechanics). They are going to be Tea Gardner, Rebecca Hawkins and Blair Flannigan.
I'd post a picture, but we are currently doing a group picture which isn't fully finalized. When it is complete we will likely start a new thread for the project.
There will be lewd cards in the game eventually. Likely not in the initial proof of concept builds but they will eventually exist. They will be gained primarily (though maybe not only) via a Playtesting Facility set up by Pegasus and run by Chumley.
You acquire these by corrupting the island as a whole (to create a corrupt sexual nature in the dueling energy and spirit world) and by bribing Chumley with mindbroken whores.
NOT the named characters, generic sprites that are designed to have limited interaction. The most these girls would get is recycling the sprite for side-quests.
There will be a day system, set on a weekly loop. Some special events might only occur on Mondays for example.
Currently days are split into 4 times, Morning, Midday, Afternoon and Night. With Night being after curfew so you might get caught.

Honestly there should be more games with romance options and lgbt choices. Like legit its hard to find a good yuri game, at least to me, as the majority are straight only. Plus I like waifus not cheap sluts. though I dont know if such a game would be successful given there is a reason for the majority being like this…

So I did not know a good place to post this, so I decided to post here, I`m starting a Persona Trainer project (I think I have never seem a Persona 5 trainer game) any comments, critics, ideas are welcome, competition too hahaha, and I`m also looking for someone good at using either Renpy or Unity to partner with me in this project (I`m a designer, well former designer, so I`m limited to making the drawings).

<Once you post it here, you waive the guarantee of being the project lead and of "owning" the project in any form.
Implying my fat lazy ass gives a shit.
Here's the idea:
>Mix (World of) Warcraft with Slave Matrix
>Age determines the difficulty, being younger makes you more popular with the ladies but more feeble in battle, being older makes you wiser and more adept to battle, yet you'll have a tough time with the ladies
>So does your background profile, no lower that a peasant, no higher that one of the classes
>The story will be composed of as much warcraft lore as possible starting from as early as possible
>It can be made as some sort of interactive novel or as a game, at least as long as it is not a half-assed game that looks amazing and have as many visual effect options yet runs as dog-shit that demands to always use the beefiest computer available
>Your campaing happens at the same time as the original ones, you've managed that by seducing characters to sneak in a faction
>You can win wars by either some good oldshcool fight, diplomacy, seduction or stalling them until the enemy runs dry on resources
>You can fuck characters so when they give birth, those kids will serve your army

Slave Matrix can go basically with any game that have several secuels, regardless of being a secuel that picks up from the moment the previous game ends, it happens several years after the previous game ends or hundred of years after the previous game ends as long as you can introduce un-aging within the rules of said game, hell if a franchise allows you to go to parallel universes, then you can just jump in any game of that franchise by wishing or making a rift in the time-space where you can have all your conquest hanging around

Background: Neuropathy in diabetic foot is the onset of diabetic foot complications. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in the health service system. The lockdown decision can make it difficult for patients to get medication and consult with health workers due to physical activity restrictions. This research aimed to analyze the factors that contribute to peripheral neuropathy in diabetic foot during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The research is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 122 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who participated in the Chronic Disease Management Program at community health centers in Malang, Indonesia, and was selected using a purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed using multivariate linear regression. Results: Variables that contributed to the development of neuropathy were ankle-brachial index of the right foot (β = 7.35, p = 0.06), irregular exercise (β = 2.01, p = 0.07), glycated hemoglobin A (HbA1c) (β = 0.97, p < 0.001), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) (β = 0.02, p = 0.06). Meanwhile, the variables that contributed to reducing neuropathy were ankle-brachial index of the left foot (β = −1.62, p = 0.73) and being female (β = −2.62, p = 0.02). The regression model could explain the variation in the scores of neuropathy in diabetic foot during the COVID-19 pandemic (R2 = 20.10%). Conclusion: The factors that contributed to the incidence of neuropathy in diabetic foot during the COVID-19 pandemic were ankle-brachial index, exercise for diabetes, LDL, HbA1c, and sex. | eng | 60579d9e-2038-4559-89c3-d59bd9bfbb01 | https://ijnmrjournal.net/article.asp?issn=1735-9066;year=2023;volume=28;issue=1;spage=85;epage=91;aulast=Kristianto;type=0 |

What is an example of instinct behavior?
In animals, instincts are inherent tendencies to engage spontaneously in a particular pattern of behavior. Examples of this include a dog shaking after it gets wet, a sea turtle seeking out the ocean after hatching, or a bird migrating before the winter season.
What is meant by instinct Behaviour?
An instinctive behavior is an action in an organism that is performed by all members of their species. They are typically a fixed action pattern (FAP) that occurs as a result of a specific stimulus. Instinctive behaviors are innate abilities – they occur and are present from birth onward and are not learned behaviors.
What instincts do animals have?
Today, various animals are said to possess a survival instinct, migratory instinct, herding instinct, maternal instinct, or language instinct.
Why are animal instincts?
When humans are referenced as having animal instincts it is used as an analogy for animal-like behavior. … Animals react to things without thinking about it and the reaction they had was completely functional the first time they performed it. Animal instinct may be hereditarily based.
What is instinct and examples?
An instinct is a set of behaviors that does not have to be learned and which is set in motion in response to an environmental cue or an internal drive. … Instincts exist across a wide range of human and non-human species. Migration, hibernation, eating, drinking and sleeping are examples of instinctual behaviors.
What is the strongest human instinct?
the strongest human instinct is self-preservation.
What instincts are humans born with?
Rooting reflex. This is a basic survival instinct. …
Moro ("startle") reflex. Your baby will be placed in a seated stance (with his or her head supported). …
Step reflex. …
Grasp reflex. …
Asymmetrical tonic neck ("fencing") reflex. …
Babinski reflex. …
Galant (truncal incurvation) reflex. …
Trembling.
What is the main difference between instinct and culture?
Culture is defined the values , beliefs, behavior, and material objects that, together, form a people's way of life while instinct can be defined as a biological programing over which animals have no control over, instinct can also be refereed as fixed, biologically inherited, complex human behavior patterns.
What human behaviors are absolutely instinctive?
These reflexes can truly be considered instinctive because they are generally free of environmental influences or conditioning. Additional human traits that have been looked at as instincts are: altruism, disgust, face perception, language acquisitions, "fight or flight" and "subjugate or be subjugated".

Are animals intelligent or instinct?
Scientific research shows that many animals are very intelligent and have sensory and motor abilities that dwarf ours. Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes.
How many instincts do humans have?
Humans all have three main survival instincts: Self-Preservation, Sexual, and Social. Our enneagram type is a strategy used to meet the needs of these three instinctual drives. Our personality tends to have an imbalance with the three rather than use them equally. Which one do you think you most identify with?
What are the three basic human instincts?
To that end, Enneagram experts have identified three key biological drives, or "instincts," that influence our feelings and actions: self-preservation, sexual, and social. While one instinct tends to dominate in each of us, we're endowed with all three in varying measures.
Do animals think?
For a long time, many abilities were thought to be exclusively human—but in the last few years, we learned that: Newborn chickens can calculate, chimpanzees help each other, parrots talk, and scrub jays plan for the future. Every week, new findings support the idea that animals are indeed capable of thinking.
Why is instinct important?
Simple: science. A research study by the University of Alberta found that your instincts help you achieve goals. While studying the brain, they determined that when there's something near you that will help you with both short-term and long-term goals, your brain views it favorably and alerts you with an impulse. | eng | f1d9090f-ba37-4f90-acec-1bd3841b683a | https://www.bconews.com/what-is-instinct-in-animal-behaviour-2/ |

'69-'70 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is the Best Sounding Mustang of All Time
The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a classic muscle car that has been a favorite among car enthusiasts for decades. But among all the Mustangs, the '69-'70 Mach 1 stands out as the best-sounding Mustang ever. In this article, we will explore the reasons why this particular model is known for its exceptional sound and performance.
The '69-'70 Mach 1 was introduced during a time when muscle cars were at their peak. It was designed to be the ultimate performance Mustang, and Ford did not disappoint. The Mach 1 was powered by a range of powerful engines, including the iconic 5.8-liter V8, which produced 335 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. The combination of the powerful engine and the car's lightweight design made it an impressive performer on the track.
But what really sets the '69-'70 Mach 1 apart from other Mustangs is its exhaust note. The sound of the engine roaring down the track is unforgettable and has become synonymous with the Mach 1. The exhaust system was specially designed to enhance the sound of the engine, with its distinctive growl that is still recognizable today. The sound of the Mach 1 is not just loud, it's also rich and deep, with a growl that is both aggressive and melodic.

Please settle a disagreement. Another developer claims that it is bad to use an SQL subquery if the same results can be achieved with a join. He says that database management systems can optimize joins better than they can optimize subqueries, which means that joins run faster than subqueries. Is this true? I seem to have heard somewhere that the query engine converts a subquery to a join when possible.

Partial Fractions
In solving algebra related problems and questions, we may sometimes deal with rational functions. A rational function is basically an algebraic polynomial fraction, in which we have polynomials on both the numerator and denominator.
Partial fractions is one of the simplest and most effective method in solving algebra related problems regarding rational functions.
In partial fractions, we separate the polynomials in our rational function into simpler form of polynomials.
Some of the applications of partial fractions include the solving of integration problems with rational functions, the binomial expansion and also the arithmetic series and sequences.
After the polynomials in the denominator of the rational function is separated, make the denominators of the simpler terms to be the same. This is typically done by multiplying the denominators together .
To find each of the coefficients in the numerator (A, B or C), we can use substitution method or equating the coefficient method.
In the substitution method, we substitute a value of x that we freely choose in the left hand side numerator and the right hand side numerator and then find the coefficients one by one.
While in the equating the coefficient method, we expand the right hand side numerator and then compare each of the coefficients in the right hand side numerator with the left hand side numerator.
Both methods will be shown in the solution of the examples below. Give it a try and if you need any help, just look at the solution I have written. Cheers ! =) . \(\\[1pt]\)
Parametric Equations
The traditional representation of y as a function of x or \({\small y = f(x)}\) is inadequate to represent a curve or a surface.
To be able to draw a curve or a surface, we need to separate the x and y and write them in terms of an independent variable.
Parametric equations are used to express the Cartesian coordinates (x and y) in terms of another independent variable, usually named as t.
The typical procedure in this topic is to find the gradient of the curve or \({ \large\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} }\). We can do this by finding each derivative of x and y with respect to t and then divide them both.
Let's dig into some of the examples to show you what I mean. Cheers ! =) . \(\\[1pt]\)

Secret Kindness Club Quotes for Kids
Last year my elementary school kids participated in an entrepreneurial event at school.Their task was to come up with a product or service they could sell.One of my boys decided to make bookmarks.But they weren't just any bookmarks.They had kind, motivational, and inspirational phrases on them.Some of these bookmarks are still used in books and planners.What a great feeling it is to have made a lasting impact, if only a small one, on someone else's world.
And then my boys and I had an idea.What if we do it again?But this time, it can be in a secret form.They could spread kind messages all through their school using notes with kind, motivating words.
We put our heads together and called this new kindness project the Secret Kindness Club.
The idea is to write kind, motivational, or inspirational quotes and phrases on note cards or index cards and spread them around everywhere kids go.
This world needs more good will.This can be done by acts of kindness, paying it forward, and volunteering.But there are also words.Words are powerful.Words matter.Let's use them for kindness.
Here are some motivational and inspirational quotes your kids can use to start their own Secret Kindness Club.

'Citizen Koch'
Tia Lessin and Carl Deal, Oscar-nominated documentary filmmakers of Trouble The Water, were thrilled when they were promised money and a public broadcast audience from ITVS for their new film, Citizen Koch. The movie follows corporate spending in elections following the US Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case. One of the stories they explore is the role of money from the billionaire Koch brothers in helping Republican governor Scott Walker fend off a recall effort in Wisconsin . But just as Lessin and Deal were wrapping up production, their deal with ITVS started to unravel. Unknown to them at the time, billionaire David Koch sat on the board of WNET, the largest public television station in the country. When Koch expressed concern about the unflattering way he was portrayed in a different PBS documentary called Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream, Lessin and Deal say ITVS changed their mind and yanked the promised funds, forcing the filmmakers to go a different route last-minute | eng | 01cd1f1a-04ae-41d5-b4fa-d0bf765996be | https://www.kcrw.com/culture/shows/the-business/funding-citizen-koch-creative-indie-film-marketing/citizen-koch |
5 Reasons to Eat More (Healthy) Fat
Fat has been demonized in society for years now, but on what basis? The evidence against real, whole sources of fat is slim, while the evidence against unhealthy fats continues to grow. Today, I'm delving into five reasons to eat more, not less, healthy fat.
But first, I want to make sure I list what I consider healthy and not-so-healthy fats!
Replacing the inflammatory fats with the healthier options I listed above will do wonders for your health, including the following five awesome effects:
1. Fat helps your body make healthy hormones and cells.
Every single cell and hormone in our bodies need fat to function. When we are on a low-fat diet or choose the wrong sources of fat, our bodies cannot make hormones or cells properly. Since our bodies run on hormones and are made up of cells, I would say that this is pretty important! The female and male sex hormones are dictated a lot by your fat intake, so if you are struggling with hormonal issues, consider adding in more healthy fat! Plus, your cells make up your every aspect of your body - including your skin, hair, nails, and your brain. Eat more fat to keep yourself looking youthful and keep your cognitive thinking going strong as you age!
Vitamins A, D, K, and E are fat-soluble, meaning that they are NOT absorbed without fat. These nutrients are commonly found in milk, because the milk fat is what helps our bodies absorb these nutrients. However, if we are choosing skim or 1% milk, you can kiss those vitamins goodbye, as you won't be absorbing them without that extra, healthy fat! Choose full fat dairy to reap the benefits of these vitamins.
3. Fat helps prevent sugar and carb carvings, as well as cut the sugar-binge cycle.
Sugar and carbs spike your blood sugar when eaten without fat alongside to lessen the blow. Unstable and high blood sugar levels lead to blood sugar crashes, which translates to headaches, afternoon crashes, and mood swings. Who wants that?! In addition, a lot of people struggle with cravings and binges on sugar at night. By choosing to eat more fat earlier on in the day (along with tons of healthy veggies and meat), your body will be filled with nutrients and less likely to have cravings. With my clients, I always recommend that they always eat carbs (even healthy carbs like fruit or potatoes) with a dose of healthy fat. It lessens the blood sugar impact and keeps your body happy!
4. Fat keeps you full, and keeps your blood sugar stable.
This point ties into the last point nicely. Because fat doesn't have an impact on your blood sugar, it provides your body with a feeling of satiation and fullness after a meal, instead of the feeling that you want something more! Eat fat with every meal to ensure that you can go between meals without needing to reach for that sugar hit halfway through the morning or afternoon.
5. Fat helps keep you slim!
Fat doesn't make you fat. Excess sugar, stress, and vegetable oils do! Don't believe me and want to hang onto the low-fat myth? Hear me out for a second.
Ever since we started fearing fat and creating low-fat, low-calorie foods, our nation has only gotten fatter and unhealthier with each passing day. Ever since we started demonizing saturated fat for "causing" heart disease and high cholesterol, our rates of heart disease and high cholesterol have gone through the roof!
Let's go back to what our ancestors did - they ate tons of butter, lard, and healthy fats, and they were in wonderful health and were at healthy weights. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it's time to eat more fat to lose fat!
Need some ideas on how to incorporate more fat into your meals? It's easy! | eng | b59b0a6d-6710-4f4c-b9c6-4feb743dfbbd | https://www.oliviaborer.com/post/2016/11/21/5-reasons-to-eat-more-healthy-fat |

Thomas Jefferson planted a 'Seckel' Pear at Monticello in 1807, and said that this variety "exceeded anything I have tasted since I left France, and equalled any pear I had seen there." A. J. Downing, America's foremost 19th-century pomologist, agreed, saying "We do not hesitate to pronounce this American pear the richest and most exquisitely flavored variety known. In its highly concentrated, spicy and honied flavor, it is not equaled by any European variety. When we add that the tree is the healthiest and hardiest of all pear trees, it is easy to see that we consider no garden complete without it." It allegedly originated on a farm outside Philadelphia.
This plant will ship bare root. Approximately 4' tall.
Bare root planting tips:
~ If you can't plant immediately, store your plant in a cool location and keep the roots moist or pot in a container with a nursery potting mix from your local garden center. ~ Before planting, let the roots soak for several hours as you prepare the site. You'll want to dig a large enough hole so the root mass can spread out and the plant is at the same soil level as when it was growing in the nursery. ~ Once planted, water it in well and wait a month before fertilizing. Mulching will help to maintain moisture and raise soil temperatures for faster growth. | eng | fd809210-b0b3-4419-b280-e37f27776a9a | https://www.monticelloshop.org/bare-root-seckel-pear-pyrus-communis-cv/ |

I get video on the 3902 but not when switched to the 044, no video at all, nothing with the key chip.
Is there something I'm missing here?? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?
Edited to add here is the fix:
IGT 044 Image Fix from CeronixYeah blinking red light is bad battery. It depends how discharged the battery is. I would give it a couple of hours to see if it comes to life. Check the battery with a meter to see if you are getting 3.6 volts after the couple of hours. You will need to power down and power up. Once you get that tilt, the game will not recover without a power cycle.

Gospel for the Thirty First Sunday in Ordinary Time (1 November 2020)Matthew 5:1-12 – NRSV)
Introductory notes
We find a text in Luke 6:20-23 with similarities to this classic text from Matthew.
"The introduction to the Sermon on the Mount contains four sections: the setting (5:1–2), the Beatitudes (5:3–12), the identity of Jesus' followers (5:13–16), and the teaching about the Law (5:17–20). The setting (5:1–2) on the mountain stands in contrast to the plain that serves as the setting of the Lukan sermon (Luke 6:17–20a). By placing this first and most dramatic instance of Jesus' teaching on the mountain, Matthew sought to evoke biblical ideas about mountains as places of divine revelation and about Mount Sinai as the place where God's will for Israel was revealed. But note that Jesus gives the teaching; he does not receive it as Moses did." (Daniel J Harrington, The Gospel of Matthew, Liturgical Press, 2007, 82.) Later – Matthew 9:36 – the description of Jesus helps us to understand the Beatitudes: "When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest'."
In the final words of this "Sermon on the Mount" – Matthew 7:28-29 – Matthew notes that, in contrast to the current teachers in Israel, Jesus is a reliable witness to the Covenant: "Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes."
disciples: "The concept of disciple is expressed in the NT through the word mathētēs. The substantive meaning 'discipleship,' however, does not occur. The verb mathētēuō (in most cases in the active voice) 'to make someone into a disciple' seldom appears. However, akolouthein 'to walk behind, to follow' (frequently used in the NT as a specialized term for following Jesus) must also be considered. This verb characterizes the central quality of existence as a disciple. All 261 references to 'disciple' in the NT are found in the Gospels and Acts. The emphasis clearly lies in the Gospels, inasmuch as only 10 percent of the references occur in Acts. The case is like that of the word akolouthein 'to follow after': Of the 90 occurrences, 79 are found in the Gospels, the rest in Acts (4), Revelation (6), and 1 Corinthians (1). This discovery already indicates that discipleship is a phenomenon which demonstrates a close association with Jesus himself" (H Weder, "Disciple, Discipleship", D. N. Freedman (Ed.), D. Martin (Trans.), The Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (Vol. 2), New York: Doubleday, 1992, 207).
"The disciples of Jesus are introduced at this point without explicit explanation. The word fo disciple – mathētēs – etymologically denotes one who learns. But the learning from Jesus as he taught in the synagogues (4:23) would not of itself justify use of the term. The word generally points to a commitment to some specific kind of learning, normally based on an allegiance to a particular teacher and often involving a full sharing of life by a group of disciples with their teacher. Given that the call of the four in 4:18–22 is to follow Jesus and be prepared by him for a role patterned on his own practice, the four must clearly be counted as disciples. What is less clear is whether we are to understand that the disciple group is to be thought of as having expanded by this point (by 10:1 there are twelve disciples, named in vv. 2–4) and whether a specific call to follow is required of those for whom Matthew will use this language (the only other call scene before 10:1 is the call of Matthew in 9:9).
"Matthew does not use 'disciple' in a way which definitely takes us beyond the Twelve. But he does use the related verb mathētēuō ('disciple/make disciples'), which suggests that in principle he does not intend to restrict the discipleship category exclusively to the Twelve. The action of Joseph of Arimathea in asking for the body of Jesus is based on the fact that he had 'been discipled to Jesus' (27:57), and this discipleship anticipates that disciple making to which the Eleven are directed in 28:19–20. 'The disciples' in Matthew are the Twelve because it is they whose sharing of life with Jesus and learning from him at every level provide the foundation on which the discipleship to which Matthew challenges his readers is ultimately based. But that which they have gained from being 'the disciples' in an exclusive sense, they have in order to pass on to others (28:19–20) who will know the call of Jesus in a more general sense (cf. 11:28–30), who will, not physically but in a very deep sense, find that they have Jesus with them (18:20), and who will make great sacrifices in following him (19:29). "The content of the sermon takes us in the same direction. As radical as its demands are, this is no manual for an exclusive spiritual elite. Its concern to elucidate the will of God is based on theological and ethical considerations and is not linked to a distinctive call for an exclusive few. The double audience of disciples and crowds fits in with this: the disciples learn from within the context of a relationship of committed discipleship, but that which they learn has pertinence as well to all the others who hear." (John Nolland, "Preface" in The Gospel of Matthew: a commentary on the Greek text, W.B. Eerdmans, 2005, 191-192.)
mountain: "Readers are expected to picture the hills on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, but attempts at determining the exact site are useless. In the ancient Near East mountains were considered the homes of the gods and sacred sites. In Exodus 19ff. the Torah is revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai. Just as Moses received God's commandments on Sinai, Jesus reveals God's will on the mountain. In Matthew important events in Jesus' life take place on mountains: temptation (4:8–10), feeding of four thousand (15:29–39), transfiguration (17:1–9), arrest (26:30–35), and final commission (28:16)." (Daniel Harrington, op cit, 78.)
Blessed: The Greek word is makarios and may mean "blessed", "happy" or "fortunate". Though the idea here is better conveyed by the word "blessed" because it more clearly conveys the fact that it is grace, God's gift. The idea of being "blessed" by God is common enough in the Hebrew Scriptures – eg Proverbs 3:13 and 28:14. There, however, the "blessing" is here and now. In Matthew's Beatitudes it is a promise – it is eschatological in other words.
poor in spirit: The idea seems to be that we come before God as "beggars", we have nothing to bring and everything to receive. Daniel Harrington writes: "The word ptōchos denotes a 'beggar', not just a poor person with few possessions. The Beatitudes should be read against the ot tradition of God's special care for the poor (see Exod 22:25–27; 23:11; Lev 19:9–10; Deut 15:7–11; Isa 61:1). Matthew's qualification 'in spirit' further defines the 'poor' as those who recognized God's kingdom as a gift that cannot be forced. The expressions 'poor' and 'poor in spirit' were used by members of contemporary Jewish communities to describe themselves as Psalms of Solomon 10:6; 15:1 and the Qumran War Scroll 14:7 show, respectively" (Daniel Harrington, op cit, 78).
Reflection
In today's Gospel – the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) – Matthew tells us that Jesus "went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them". This sets the context for one of the great pieces of literature in the Western canon. It also gives us a valuable insight into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
One commentator writes: "Readers are expected to picture the hills on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, but attempts at determining the exact site are useless. In the ancient Near East mountains were considered the homes of the gods and sacred sites" (Daniel Harrington, The Gospel of Matthew, Liturgical Press, 2007, 82). The geographical setting thus reminds us that God dwells here, in this moment, in this teaching, in this teacher. It also reminds us of the promise to Moses long ago on another mountain – Mt Sinai: "I shall be with you" (Exodus 3:12). However, whereas Moses is the recipient and messenger of God's revelation and teaching on Mt Sinai – in Exodus 3:1-15 and again in Exodus 19:1-31:18 – Jesus is a teacher in his own right and thus a source of divine revelation. And so the Sermon on the Mount concludes with the statement: "Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes" (Matthew 7:28-29). Matthew reaffirms Jesus as teacher at the end of his Gospel: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18).
In the light of the foregoing, we can begin to understand what a disciple is. Discipleship is a crucial concept in the Christian Scriptures – the word is used more than 260 times. It carries its own, unique Christ-centred meaning. The disciple in Christian Tradition is one whose whole life is centred on Jesus the teacher. "To become his disciple, intellectual or even moral aptitudes were not important. What matters is call, the initiative of which comes from Jesus (1:17-20; John 1:38-50) and behind him the Father, who 'gives' Jesus his disciples (John 6:39; 10:29;17:6 & 12)" (Xavier Léon-Dufour, editor, Dictionary of Biblical Theology, London: Geoffrey Chapman, 1972, 103). This "call" – pure gift as it is – forms the basis of a growing relationship between the disciple and Jesus the teacher. For the disciple of Jesus, learning what he has to teach, is an experience of deepening love and communion. The teacher and the disciple become increasingly one. St Paul sums it up best when he says: "I live now, not I but Christ lives in me" (Galatians 2:19). All of which suggests a particular destiny and dignity that is an essential part of discipleship. At the end of his hymn to love, St Paul writes: "We will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12). | eng | bce32714-8df7-4655-bf4a-0c37d8fd64dc | https://aquinas-academy.org.au/homily/gospel-for-the-thirty-first-sunday-in-ordinary-time-1-november-2020/ |
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Process
A wisdom tooth is extracted to correct an actual problem or to prevent them in the future. When wisdom teeth come in, a number of problems can occur:
Your jaw may not be large enough for them, and they may become impacted and unable to break through your gums.
Your wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them. Food and germs can get trapped under the flap and cause your gums to become red, swollen, and painful. These are signs of infection.
More serious problems can develop from impacted teeth, such as infection, damage to other teeth and bone, or a cyst.
One or more of your wisdom teeth may come in at an awkward angle, with the top of the tooth facing forward, backward, or to either side.
If there is a risk that misaligned wisdom teeth will jeopardize your health your dentist will recommend wisdom teeth extraction or removal.
What happens during wisdom teeth extraction?
Before removing a wisdom tooth, your dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed. A general anesthetic may be used, especially if several or all of your wisdom teeth will be removed at the same time. A general anesthetic prevents pain in the whole body and will cause you to sleep through the procedure. Your dentist will probably recommend that you don't eat or drink after midnight on the night before surgery so that you are prepared for the anesthetic.
To remove the wisdom tooth, your dentist will open up the gum tissue over the tooth and take out any bone that is covering the tooth. He or she will separate the tissue connecting the wisdom tooth to the bone and then remove the tooth. Sometimes the dentist will cut the tooth into smaller pieces to make it easier to remove.
After the wisdom tooth is removed, you may need stitches. Some stitches dissolve over time and some have to be removed after a few days. Your dentist will tell you whether your stitches need to be removed. A folded cotton gauze pad placed over the wound will help stop the bleeding.
What should I do after my wisdom teeth are removed?
In most cases, the wisdom tooth removal recovery period lasts only a few days. Take painkillers as prescribed by your dentist or oral surgeon. The following tips will help speed your recovery:
Bite gently on the gauze pad periodically, and change pads as they become soaked with blood. Call your dentist or oral surgeon if you still have bleeding 24 hours after wisdom teeth removal.
Do not lie flat. This may prolong bleeding. Prop up your head with pillows.
Do not use a straw for the first few days. Sucking on a straw can loosen the blood clot and delay healing of the wisdom teeth removal area.
Continue to brush your teeth and tongue carefully.
Your dentist will remove the stitches a few days after the wisdom teeth extraction, if needed.
Jean Brown research is currently conducting a study of an investigational medication to treat pain associated with the extraction of wisdom teeth.

Inconel
Inconel belongs to the family of super-alloys that are nickel-chromium-based austenitic steels. Inconel alloys are oxidation resistant and are capable of bearing extreme environments. Inconel can resist a wide range of temperatures where stainless steel and aluminum would succumb.
Inconel forms a passivating layer of oxide over its surface when heated, which protects it from further damage. Solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening cause Inconel to bear the high-temperature resistance. Inconel is always used in extreme environments such as gas turbine blades, turbocharger rotors and seals, chemical vessels, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, steam generators, core components of nuclear-pressurized water reactors, and natural gas processing. It is more robust than stainless steel when it comes to extreme temperature services. It can also withstand temperature fluctuations easily, hence making it usable in processes where temperatures vary from freezing to the melting point. It can also resist sodium chloride corrosion well and is used for many marine applications.
FAQs of Inconel
What is Inconel?
Inconel is an alloy made up primarily of nickel and chromium. It is highly resistant to heat, corrosion, and oxidation, making it a popular material for use in industrial settings. Inconel is used in aerospace components, chemical processing equipment, marine applications, and more. Its strength and durability make it an ideal choice for demanding tasks.
Is Inconel Corrosion Resistant?
Yes, Inconel is highly resistant to corrosion. It is an alloy made up primarily of nickel and chromium, making it highly resistant to oxidation and heat. This makes it an ideal choice for various industrial applications exposed to harsh environments, such as marine applications or chemical processing equipment.
What is Inconel alloy made of?
Inconel alloy is primarily nickel and chromium, with additional elements such as iron, molybdenum, and titanium contributing to its strength and resistance to corrosion.
What are the applications of Inconel?
Inconel is often used for applications where high temperatures and corrosion resistance are necessary, such as in aircraft engines, industrial furnaces, and chemical processing equipment. It is also frequently used in medical implants, exhaust systems, and turbochargers.
What is the difference between Incoloy & Inconel?
Inconel and Incoloy are both nickel-based alloys that contain chromium, iron, and other elements. The major difference between the two is that Inconel is made with a higher percentage of nickel than Incoloy. This makes Inconel better suited for applications where high temperatures are common, as it offers superior heat resistance compared to Incoloy.
What is the difference between Hastelloy & Inconel?
Hastelloy and Inconel are both nickel-based alloys, but they have different compositions. Inconel is made up of a higher percentage of nickel than Hastelloy, which makes it more resistant to high temperatures. Hastelloy also contains molybdenum and other elements, which gives it superior corrosion resistance compared to Inconel.
How to weld Inconel?
In order to properly weld Inconel, you need to prepare the material and use an appropriate welding technique. Start by cleaning the joint of any contaminants such as dirt, oil or grease. Then, choose a suitable welding method for your application - arc welding or inert tungsten gas (TIG) welding are generally recommended for Inconel. Finally, use a MIG wire that is designed for welding nickel alloys, such as Hastelloy or Incoloy. Adjust the current, voltage, and speed accordingly, and then weld the material.
Is Inconel magnetic?
No, Inconel is non-magnetic. It has a low magnetic permeability and does not have significant residual magnetism. Inconel alloys are also non-hardenable so they cannot be hardened through heat treatment. | eng | b1b99a03-86bc-49b5-bdd5-ddf4e05adde9 | https://www.thepipingmart.com/material/inconel |

Description
This object lesson helps us to understand that what happens to us is not as important as how we respond to what happens to us. If we trust God with even our "unfortunate" events and circumstances, He can use everything for our good.
Materials
• None
Preparation
• Practice the script.
Procedure
Use the following script (or modify to suit your needs):
• "We're going to play a short game called, "Fortunately – Unfortunately."
• "First, I need to divide you into small groups." (Divide kids into smaller groups of 3-6 people.)
• "Now, we have to select the person who will start the game. I want everyone to hold up one finger." (Make sure everyone holds up a finger, then have them do the following.)
• "Now point that finger straight up in the air as high as you can make it go."
• "I'm going to count to three. When I say, 'three,' I want everyone in the group to point at the person you think should start the game."
• "Ready? Okay, One….Two….Three!" (If any groups end up with a tie for the number of fingers pointed at different people, have them do it again until the tie is broken.)
• "Alright, this person is going to start you off by telling the first part of a story."
• "They will tell you about 15-20 words about any topic they want, but the story has to start with, 'Once upon a time…'"
• "For example, 'Once upon a time, there was a man who liked to eat pickled porcupines…'"
• "Then, that person will stop right there, and the person on their right will pick up the story where they left off."
• "But before they tell anymore of the story, they have to say, 'Unfortunately…' and then share something unfortunate about the situation or person."
• "They will tell about 15 words of why things are so unfortunate, and then they will stop."
• "The next person will pick up the story where they left off, but he/she will start by saying, 'Fortunately…' Then they will tell us what is so fortunate about the situation."
• "This keeps going with each person alternating their stories to be 'fortunate' or 'unfortunate.'"
• "You will keep going around your group until I say to stop, so you will probably have several tries at making up 'fortunate' and 'unfortunate' parts of the story."
• "The only other rule is that you can't kill anyone in the stories."
• "Does anyone have any questions before we get started?"
• "Alright, those of you who were picked to start, begin your stories!" (Allow three to five minutes for storytelling, then ask them to finish the part they are on and turn their attention back to you.)
• "The point of this game is that there are always two ways of looking at the things that happen in our lives. You can view almost anything as either fortunate or unfortunate."
• "If you search for it, even something very bad can have a fortunate side, particularly if you are willing to trust God with it."
• "Romans 8:28 says, 'And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
• "The Scripture says that God will works in 'some' things for our good, right?" (The kids should answer, 'NO!')
• "Oh, it says, God works in just the fortunate things, right?" (The kids should answer, 'NO!')
• "In just the things where we make good decisions?" ('NO!')
• "…where we stay out of sin?" ('NO!')
• "…where we pray about it ahead of time?" ('NO!')
• "…where we do everything our pastor tells us to do?" ('NO!')
• "What does it say? …God works in ALL things for the good of those who love Him."
• "Sometimes when 'unfortunate' stuff happens to us, it's God's discipline in our lives, because the Bible says in Proverbs 3:11: 'My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent His rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son he delights in.'"
• "But that means that even when God is disciplining you for your sin, He is doing it for your good!"
• "And it's even better if you admit that you sinned and ask for forgiveness. Then God can really use it for your good!"
• "He uses EVERYTHING that happens in your life to be a blessing to you!"
• "So, even when something happens that looks bad, it's a great idea to praise God for it. That shows that you trust Him to use it for your good."
• "So, let's try this out. Who can think of something bad that could happen to us?" (Listen for examples.)
• "Alright everyone, how could God use that for that person's good?" (Do this several times to make the point that God can use everything to bless us.)
• "You see, just because it looks unfortunate doesn't mean it is."
• "It's less important what happens to you than how you respond to what happens to you."
• "Praise God for anything and everything that happens in your life – whether it looks fortunate or unfortunate!" | eng | 985edeaa-24f6-43e7-8a86-a5229b2c6068 | https://teachingthem.com/tag/interpretation/ |

Release Blitz: His Truth by Riley Hart
Roman has spent the last twelve years repressing the trauma in his past, trying to pretend it didn't exist, until even he believed his own lies.
Leo won't let himself forget what happened because he doesn't ever want to be that person again. He won't become the man his father wanted him to be or the guy who gets hurt when he lets someone in.
But in that split second when their eyes meet again, everything changes. Despite Leo's anger and Roman's denial, the connection they shared as teens is still there, too powerful to deny. Now, when their moments don't have to be stolen, they cling to what they've always craved—each other.
Roman and Leo aren't kids anymore, though—they can't lock themselves away from the world and pretend nothing exists but each other. A trauma like Roman suffered doesn't just go away, but now that Roman accepts his truth, can the two of them escape their demons before they destroy Roman and Leo a second time?
It was close to ten when Roman's phone rang. His pulse kicked up, and when he saw Leo's name on the screen, he fumbled ridiculously picking it up. It was Friday night, so he'd assumed Leo would be at work. He hadn't expected to hear from him. "Hello?"
"Hey, Tough Guy. What are you doing?" Roman wasn't sure why, but his pulse sped again at the old nickname. He listened but didn't hear music or anything in the background. "You didn't have to work tonight?" he asked.
"I'm on break. I borrowed the keys to someone's car, so I'm sitting in it. Needed some quiet. How was work?"
"Work was work. I had too many meetings and a few unhappy clients."
"Sounds like your day was about as good as mine."
They were quiet for a few moments. Roman wasn't sure what to say. There was something different about Leo right now, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. "What did you do today?" he finally asked.
"Nothing important."
Leo's words sounded like a lie. No, he knew they were a lie. He'd always been able to tell when Leo was having a bad day or wasn't being truthful with him. "I don't believe you."
There was a soft chuckle on the other end of the line. "I never could lie to you. I went to see my parents. It was a shitty day. I don't want to talk about it. Where are you?"
Curiosity almost made him refuse to answer Leo's question, but somehow he knew now wasn't the time to talk about it. That wasn't what Leo needed. "Lying in my bed." At ten on a Friday night. He really needed to get a life. What would Leo do after work tonight? Would he bring someone home with him? The thought made Roman's gut churn, but it wasn't as if he had any claim on Leo. They hadn't discussed anything.
"Have you done what I told you to do?" Leo asked, confusing him.
"What was that?"
"Finger yourself. Get to know your body."
Roman immediately tensed up and hated himself for it. There was nothing wrong with masturbating. He'd jerked off too many times to count. Most people did, but this was different.
"What? No." There was a voice in his head telling him it wasn't a big deal. Phone sex. People did it all the time. He felt like a novice when it came to being sexual. He'd worked hard to please Amy or other women he'd been with, but he wasn't the kind of man who had phone sex or anything like that.
"Yes. You can do it. I don't have much time, though. Let's see…If I can make you come before I get back to work, what do I get?"
Roman didn't answer. The truth was, he couldn't imagine putting a finger up his own ass while he was on the phone with Leo.
"The only way to move forward is to let go of the past." Leo's words burst through his thoughts. They were true, another truth Roman needed to accept.
"Are you wearing anything?" Leo asked.
"Just my underwear."
"Take them off for me. You have such a beautiful body. I couldn't stop looking at it the other night."
It was clearly a distraction, but…fuck, Roman thought maybe he wanted this too. Wanted to let loose and just do the kinds of things people dating did. He didn't want to think about things that hurt or things that were hard, and he knew Leo didn't either.
Roman did his best to turn his brain off, took a deep breath, and pulled his underwear down his legs. He kicked out of them and then pushed the blanket down so he was completely bare in the middle of his bed. "Okay, they're off," Roman told him, realizing he really wanted to do this. "How should I lie?" mother | eng | 487df1d7-5a2c-43c2-8e7e-d69a32f1ced9 | https://www.dogeareddaydreams.com/2018/04/release-blitz-his-truth-by-riley-hart.html |

Interactive signage display are convenient for shoppers as they provide quick and easy access to the information they need. Rather than having to search for store hours or directions on a mall directory, shoppers can simply use an Interactive Wayfinding kiosk to pull up the information they need right away. This is especially beneficial for shoppers who are in a hurry or have limited time to do their shopping.
2. Informative
An information kiosk can be used to display retail store hours, promotions, and even product information. This makes it easy for shoppers to find the information they need and make informed decisions while they're shopping.
3. Interactive digital screen provides more versatile
Interactive digital screen are versatile, as they can be used for a variety of purposes. For example, they can be used as directories, customer service kiosks, or even sales kiosks. This makes them a versatile tool that can be used to meet the needs of both shoppers and mall operators. They can also be placed anywhere, whether it's throughout the retail center, near the storefront, or inside retail spaces.
4. Cost-Effective
Interactive Kiosks are also cost-effective, as they can be used to save mall operators money. For example, customer service kiosks can be used to provide information and answer questions, which can help to reduce the need for staff. Additionally, interactive signage display can be used to promote sales and special offers, which can help to increase foot traffic and generate revenue.
What kind of content can you display on interactive digital screen?
The content that you can display on an interactive kiosk will depend on the type of kiosk you have. For example, customer service kiosks can be used to provide information about the mall, such as store hours and directions. Additionally, they can be used to answer questions and provide customer support. For instance, if a shopper is having trouble finding a particular store, the customer service kiosk can be used to provide directions.
On the other hand, sales kiosks can be used to promote sales and special offers, as well as provide product information. For example, if a store is having a sale, the sales kiosk can be used to display information about the sale, such as the dates and discounts. Additionally, if a shopper is searching for a specific product, they can use the interactive kiosk to find out where the product is being sold and for how much.
Purchase interactive kiosks for your shopping center
Interactive kiosk procurement offer a number of benefits to both shoppers and mall operators. They're convenient, informative, engaging, versatile, and cost-effective, which makes them a valuable addition to any shopping center. If you're looking for a way to improve the shopping experience at your mall, then consider updating your space with the latest kiosk technology. | eng | c2c602a9-ffa2-4f3e-9f6f-37e27e14245c | https://www.shiningltd.com/interactive-digital-screen/ |
Usually, include files are distributed with the *.so files.
I want to rename the include files when installing them, i.e. inserting a version midfix/suffix into it's name, and then add a symbolic link to each of them with the original name, in order to identify well, like what we have done for shared library files.
Usually the directory is named with the version number. For example /usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject.h. That seems much easier and more idiomatic to me (not to mention actually supporting parallel installation of headers from different versions). | eng | eb1d95bb-5681-4692-98b0-59a4ee2d859a | https://discourse.cmake.org/t/how-to-add-a-version-infix-suffix-for-an-include-file-like-the-soversion-of-a-so-lib/8642 |

The 2012 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress
Report
Since 2007, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has released an annual report on the extent of homelessness in the United States—the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR). The report documents how many people are using shelter programs for homeless people, and how many people are in unsheltered locations that are often called "the street." The AHAR is delivered each year to the U.S. Congress, and its contents are used to inform Federal, State, and local policies to prevent and end homelessness. This report is the second part of a two-volume series. The first part is called The 2012 Point-in-Time Estimates of Homelessness: Volume I of the 2012 Annual Homeless Assessment Report. Volume two of the 2012 AHAR presents both 1-night Point-in-Time (PIT) estimates and 1-year Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) estimates of sheltered homelessness. The estimates include people who experience homelessness as individuals, as family members, and as members of specific subpopulations. For each of these populations, the estimates describe how homelessness has changed over time and provide a demographic profile of homelessness in America.

FORECAST Function – Examples in Excel, VBA, Google Sheets
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Excel FORECAST Function in Excel to count values that meet multiple criteria.
FORECAST Function Overview
The FORECAST Function Uses a linear trend line to predict future Y-values.
To use the FORECAST Excel Worksheet Function, select a cell and type:
(Notice how the formula inputs appear)
FORECAST function Syntax and inputs:
=FORECAST(x,known_y's,known_x's)
x – The x-value for which you want to forecast a new y-value
known_y's – An Array of known y-values
known_x's – An array of known x-values
What is FORECAST and FORECAST.LINEAR?
The FORECAST function in Excel is used to predict an x value given known x and y values. The function uses linear regression to determine the result.
Linear regression is a method in statistics used for predicting data following a straight line using known data. Regression is used to predict values such as sales growth, inventory requirements or simple market trends.
The FORECAST function exists for compatibility in Excel 2013 and earlier while FORECAST.LINEAR should be used in versions following Excel 2013. This article will use FORECAST.LINEAR for its examples but the syntax is identical for both functions.
Suppose I have a table of data with x and y values:
I want to know what the value of y is when the value of x = 20, where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. Using FORECAST.LINEAR:
=FORECAST.LINEAR(20,B3:B7,C3:C7)
FORECAST.LINEAR shows the result as 40. Let us visualize on a graph:
You can see that by plotting the data on a scatter chart and extending the line which best fits those data forward, the value of y when x = 20 is 40. Linear regression is sometimes also called the line of best fit. This matches the result of our function above.
How to use FORECAST.LINEAR
The FORECAST.LINEAR function takes three arguments:
=FORECAST.LINEAR(x, known_y's, known_x's)
Where x is the data point you wish to predict a value for and known_y's and known_x's refer to the x and y data in your data table.
Using our first example, the function is written as:
=FORECAST.LINEAR(20,B3:B7,C3:C7)
For the Math Lovers
The formula FORECAST.LINEAR generates the equation of the line in the form y= a+ bx where,
a is the y-intercept and b is the slope of the line.
Using the above chart, we can calculate the slope, b using the rise of the line divided by the run of the line Rise/Run and extending the trendline on the chart backward until is crosses the y-axis to find the y-intercept, a.
The y-intercept crosses the y-axis at y=0 , therefore a=0 .
The equation of this line is described as y= 0 + 2x or y = 2x.
Using Excel's trendline option, we can show the equation of the line:
We can then check our forecast using the equation of the line.
y = 2x
Therefore, when x=20, y=2 x 20 = 40.

How does a statistical test work? – Part 2
Degree of freedom and p-value
In the last article, we have illustrated the concept of statistical tests. If you only want to obtain a rough understanding of the concept behind statistical tests then reading our last article is absolutely sufficient. However, if you are interested in more detail, then the following will help you to understand how a p-value is calculated and what "degrees of freedom" means. If you haven't seen the previous article, have a look at it first. So last time we saw that statistical tests are based on two steps:
Calculation of a so called "test statistic".
Comparison of this test statistic with a threshold. This threshold was obtained from a distribution of the test statistic.
Now we will learn some more details. First of all, when we talked about "the distribution of the test statistic" this is actually not only one distribution, but there are many distributions. Which distribution applies for our data depends on our sample size. In statistical terms we don't talk about "sample size", but about degrees of freedom. The term "degrees of freedom" sounds a bit abstract, so I'll explain why we talk about "freedom": When we do statistics, we often want to know about variability or variance. When we only measure a single value, we can't say anything about variability, because there is no other measurement with which we could compare our value. We could say there is no room for variability or no "freedom". The more values we add to our sample the more "freedom" we obtain and the more accurately we can measure variability or variance. So for a sample of ten values the sample variance has nine degrees of freedom:
df = n – 1
However, we don't need to worry how the degree of freedom is calculated. There are formulae to do this and any software will calculate the degree of freedom automatically. We only have to understand that the degree of freedom is about sample size.
Another point we omitted in the last video was the p-value. So far we only focussed on the threshold to decide whether a difference is significant or not. This threshold is also called the "critical value". In many textbooks you still find tables where you can look up critical values for given degrees of freedom and for one- or two-sided testing. Now the p-value is calculated from the distribution of the test statistic which we showed last time. In this example, we have marked the critical value for a level of significance of 0.05 (5%), shown as a red line:
The question is now: How do we obtain the p value for the actual test statistic calculated form our data (the red arrow)? What we want to know is how many values are below our t-value. So far we have plotted the distribution as a so called "probability density function" (PDF). I.e. for each test statistic we plotted the probability on the y-axis. What we need for the calculation of a p value is another way of plotting this distribution: We use a "cumulative distribution function" (CDF). This means for each value on the x-axis we gradually add all values up starting from the left. It is easier to illustrate this, if we view our t-distribution as a histogram:
Illustration of how a cumulative distribution is obtained, using hypothetical data. Top: The distribution is shown as a "normal" histrogram. Bottom: The same data shown as cumulative histrogram.
A cumulative distribution is obtained by adding up the values from the left to the right. The first value on the left is 1, hence in the cumulative histogram we also write a 1. The next value in the upper histrogram is 6. If we add this value up with the value we already had (1), then at this point we have 6+1 = 7. At the next position we have 23. Adding these to the previous values (7) means that we have 23+7 = 30 values. And if we continue adding up all values, then at the end we obtain the cumulative histogram shown in the lower figure.
Now let's go back to our original distribution. For this distribution the cumulative density function looks like this:
From this cumulative distribution function, we now can easily calculate a p-value. This is done by taking our t-value on the x-axis and looking up its p-value on the y-axis:
In conclusion, using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) we can calculate a p-value. In mathematical terms, the p-value is defined | eng | 3d957abb-8187-42fd-a1d8-d084a5bc3310 | https://gss-statistical-software.com/2022/09/28/how-does-a-statistical-test-work-part-2/ |

What is your inner shadow?
The inner shadow is the part of your personality you don't want to acknowledge or accept. When you "exile" certain traits deemed undesirable by yourself and others, they end up in the shadows.
Some examples may be jealousy, rage, power hunger, low self-esteem, or not standing up for yourself.
Like the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, it is normal to have light and dark sides. One can't exist without the other. Unfortunately, self-development practices often demonize these aspects of the human psyche, focusing only on positivity.
What happens when you suppress your inner shadow?
Neglecting and suppressing your shadow parts makes them more powerful. After all, the shadow wants to be noticed and accepted.
The psychologist Carl Jung believed unheard and unseen parts of the subconscious mind – which he called the shadow – manifest in harmful behavior like:
Anxiety
Depression
Shame
Self-loathing
Poor boundaries
Addiction
OCD
Procrastination
Perfectionism
People pleasing
Denying your shadow also affects your relationships. You may project anger, guilt, and shame onto the people closest to you.
What is shadow work?
Shadow work involves bringing rejected parts of your psyche into the light by cultivating a deep sense of authenticity and self-love.
The goal is not to get rid of your shadow. Instead, integrating your shadow helps you become who you really are and live as a more embodied version of yourself.
Embracing your shadow helps you live with more confidence, agency, and ease. Shadow work also increases your compassion for others, which is an asset to your relationships.
Shadow work tips to love your inner shadow
You can do shadow work with the help of a trained therapist. However, you can also explore shadow work solo when you feel ready.
3. Heal Your Inner Child
As such, inner child work is a fundamental part of shadow work. Learn more about how to "re-parent" and heal your inner child in this article.
4. Practice self-compassion
Shadow work can be uncomfortable, but real transformation happens when you develop compassion and deep love for your shadow parts.
Just as you wouldn't be impatient when a child or dear friend expresses hurt or sadness, you need the same level of compassion with your inner shadow.
We recommend bathing your shadow in love and acceptance by listening to loving kindness meditations. You can also soothe yourself with slow breathing, yoga Nidra, and self-love affirmations. This helps your nervous system to feel safe, making it easier to dig deeper into the work.
Final thoughts
Shadow work is the ongoing journey of becoming self-aware and self-compassionate. It requires bravery and commitment but is so worthwhile.
At The Collective Ritual, we offer guided journaling, meditation, and breathwork workshops in our monthly membership to help you meet your inner shadow with compassion, non-judgment, and love.
Note: We encourage you to do shadow work with a trained therapist if you've experienced significant trauma. They can offer you guidance and tools to deal with triggers | eng | 6e7601fc-7eed-459f-b6b0-08aae5b84b34 | https://www.thecollectiveritual.com/2022/12/shadow-work-101/ |
(Beyond Pesticides, May 18, 2023) A study published in
Environmental U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. Therefore, individuals still encounter pesticide compounds at varying concentrations, adding to the toxic body burden of those harmful chemicals currently in use.
The chronic health risks to consumers. The results highlight that tau-fluvalinate, coumaphos, chlorfenvinphos, chlorpyrifos, and amitraz are the most common active ingredients in beehive products, with acaricides being the most frequently detectable pesticide subtype. However, the report's estimation for pesticide accumulation in beeswax comb honey suggests that coumaphos and chlorfenvinphos mount up to levels posing a potential health risk to consumers.
The United Nations states that 80 percent of the 115 top global food crops depend on insect pollination, with one-third of all U.S. crops depending on pollinators, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). However, research finds that many insect populations, including managed and wild pollinators, are collapsing. A systematic review of insect population decline studies published in 2019 found that 41% of insect species worldwide are declining. The declines of butterflies, wild bumblebees, and honey bees have links to hazardous pesticide use in conventional agricultural systems. Since 1990, roughly a quarter of the global insect population has been vanishing, according to research published in Science. This research finds worldwide trends in declines in terrestrial insect biomass to be nearly 1% each year (~9% each decade). Despite habitat fragmentation and climate change, extensive use of pesticides, like neonicotinoids, sulfoxaflor, pyrethroids, fipronil, and organophosphates, increase the potential risk and indiscriminate threat to all insects. Most animals on Earth are insects, which play a significant role in sustaining the ecosystem, despite their size. Insects found in nature preserves are consistently contaminated with over a dozen pesticides, calling into question the ability of these areas to function as refuges for threatened and endangered species. Research shows that residues from neonicotinoids (including seed treatments) and sulfoxaflor accumulate and translocate to pollen and nectar of treated plants. Pyrethroids and fipronil impair bee learning, development, and behavioral function, reducing survivability and colony fitness. However, inert ingredients in these products cause similar or more severe impacts on insect populations, such as disruption in bee learning behavior through exposure to low doses of surfactants. With the global reliance on pollinator-dependent crops increasing over the past decades, a lack of pollinators threatens food security and stability for current and future generations.
This review highlights the pervasiveness of pesticide residues as the presence in consumer products considered beneficial to health puts individuals across the globe at health risk. Even with a partial ban on neonicotinoid insecticides in the U.K. in 2014, 25 percent of British honey still contains residue of these "potent, bee-killing" pesticides. Research shows that residues from neonicotinoids (including seed treatments) and sulfoxaflor accumulate and translocate to pollen and nectar of treated plants. Like this study, previous research frequently detects pesticides like fluvalinate, coumaphos, chlorpyrifos, chlorothalonil, amitraz, pendamethalin, endosulfan, fenpropathrin, esfenvalerate, and atrazine in beehives. Like acaricides in the study, miticides and fungicides contaminate wax, pollen, and bees at concentrations that pose significant health risks. Scientific literature documents elevated rates of acute and chronic health effects among people exposed to pesticides, with increasing numbers of studies associated with both specific and a range of illnesses. Some common diseases affecting the public's health also have links to pesticide exposure, including asthma, learning disabilities, birth abnormalities, reproductive dysfunction, endocrine disruption like diabetes, brain and nervous system disorders, and several types of cancer.Â
To mitigate the risks associated with chemical exposure from toxic pesticides, advocates say the manufacturing and use of pesticides need addressing, first and foremost. Global leaders should curtail the continued manufacturing of chemical pollutants that readily contaminate the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appears to discount threats like the insect apocalypse, evidenced by a 75% decline in insect abundance, threatening global ecosystems and food production that depends on animal pollination. If pesticide use and manufacturing are amplifying the contamination of consumer products, especially through residue transfer, advocates argue that it is essential to advance change by adopting pesticide policy and regulations that eliminate petrochemical pesticide and fertilizer use, while supporting the transition to organic practices.Â
Pollinators (such as bees, monarch butterflies, and bats) are a bellwether for environmental stress, as individuals and as colonies. Commercial beekeepers continue to experience bee declines as high as 90 percent in hives across the county. As pollinator and insect life continue to decline globally, it is critical to understand and restrict widely used chemicals. Additionally, substitutions the agrichemical industry have developed to replace them are still deplorable and harmful. Pesticide risk assessments do not adequately capture the range of harm that can occur when pesticide exposures occur in combination, necessitating a shift to safer, alternative, and regenerative organic farming systems that do not use these dangerous chemicals. Since there is a tremendous reliance on many pollinators for essential services, like pollinating a third of food production, it has become critical to avoid using these chemicals and instead look for safer alternatives to managing pests in homes, gardens, schools, and communities. Pesticides intensify pollinators' vulnerability to health risks (such as pathogens and parasites), with pesticide-contaminated conditions limiting colony productivity, growth, and survival. However, ending toxic pesticide use can alleviate the harmful impacts of these chemicals on species and ecosystem health. Beyond Pesticides captured the bigger picture in its introduction to its 2017 National Pesticide Forum, Healthy Hives, Healthy Lives, Healthy Land: "Complex biological communities support life."
Furthermore, buying, growing, and supporting organic agriculture can help eliminate the extensive use of pesticides in the environment. Organic land management eliminates the need for toxic agricultural pesticides. For more information on how organic is the right choice for consumers and the farmworkers who grow our food, see the Beyond Pesticides webpage, Health Benefits of Organic Agriculture.Â
Spring is around the corner, so get ready to grow your spring garden the organic way by Springing into Action, pledging to eliminate toxic pesticide use.

10131 - Second Lieutenant William Clark, 1803
William Clark was born on 1 August 1770 and 22 years later on 6 March 1792 was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Legion of the United States. In September of that year he was assigned to the 4th Sub-Legion. In 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, Clark commanded a company of riflemen who drove back the enemy on the left flank, killing a number of Native Americans and Canadians. William Clark resigned his commission on 4 July 1796 and retired due to poor health although he was only 26 years old.
In 1803, Meriwether Lewis recruited Clark, then age 33, to share command of the newly formed Corps of Discovery, whose mission was to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase, establish trade with Native Americans, and consolidate the sovereignty of the U.S | eng | 7ebc6bd1-a3a8-49c9-be4a-b373f2695ad3 | https://the-history-store.myshopify.com/products/10131-second-lieutenant-william-clark-1803 |
can you run a diesel generator on kerosene?
Using kerosene in diesel generator is possible but not recommended for long-term use due to potential damage from lower lubricity and hotter burning properties.
September 18, 2023
BY BISON
Table of Contents
Diesel generators undoubtedly run on diesel fuel. But what if you don't have one available? Can you use kerosene as an alternative to a diesel generator? Using kerosene in a diesel generator is possible but not recommended for long-term use due to potential damage from lower lubricity and hotter burning properties.
Can we use kerosene in a diesel generator?
Indeed, but similar to a 2-stroke, you must incorporate oil to prevent the injection pump from early wear and tear. Additionally, since kerosene has less energy density than diesel, you would have to reduce the generator output by approximately 20%.
Kerosene contains fewer oils than diesel, which can lead to the fuel pump wearing out. Since it burns at a higher temperature than diesel, kerosene can hasten the burning of piston rings, injectors, and valves.
Since the combustion characteristics of kerosene and diesel are very similar, diesel will perform admirably in a kerosene engine.
In most diesel engines, kerosene will burn without damaging them. Kerosene is an authorized fuel for many contemporary diesel engines. The distillation process produces pure kerosene. As a result, it contains no additives, as diesel does.
What is kerosene?
Kerosene, a flammable compound obtained from petroleum, is a type of hydrocarbon liquid typically utilized as fuel in jet engines, furnaces, lamps, and heaters. It exhibits a flash point of 38℃ (100℉) and a freezing point of about -40℃/℉. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) advises against its use for household purposes due to its polluting nature. Emissions from kerosene consist of particulate matter that can elevate the risk of cancer, asthma, tuberculosis, respiratory infections, cataracts, and negative pregnancy impacts.
Difference between diesel and kerosene
Kerosene is the number one fuel oil produced by distillation. Diesel fuel is the number 2 most efficient fuel.
Diesel has a higher wax content than kerosene. As a result, diesel emits more BTUs than kerosene.
However, kerosene burns at high temperatures because it does not condense as quickly as diesel. You can mix kerosene with diesel fuel for smoother starting in cold conditions.
So kerosene is a better choice when you are using a generator in winter. Otherwise, the diesel is unbeatable regarding high power and effective backup.
But if you want cheap fuel, kerosene is the best and safest alternative for diesel generators. If you use it correctly, kerosene burns cleaner and improves fuel efficiency by 20 percent.
Does kerosene last longer than diesel?
Although kerosene is an excellent means of maintaining cold flow in winter and works as a terrific alternative, it does not burn longer than diesel. Diesel is an industrial fuel required for more extensive operations, and large operations require constant energy. Kerosene is processed through distillation and is more pure than diesel. That's why kerosene burns faster than diesel.
In contrast, kerosene does not emit toxic fumes when burned, which makes it an environmentally friendly choice. But if your main focus is on long-lasting fuel, go for diesel.
Which is more flammable, kerosene or diesel?
Fuels, whether petrol, diesel, kerosene or gasoline, are flammable and react quickly to fire. However, they all have different response capabilities. Let's find out which is more explosive, kerosene or diesel.
Kerosene is less volatile as compared to other chemicals, such as gasoline. Gasoline diesel is so flammable that even at -43 °C, it will release flammable vapors to ignite in the presence of an ignition source. Because of this, kerosene is very explosive, yet it is less volatile and much safer to use than gasoline.
Benefits of using kerosene
There are a few advantages to using kerosene in diesel engines.
a) Kerosene is cheap
The first benefit of running kerosene in your diesel engine is cost. Kerosene is less expensive than diesel fuel, so if filling up at a gas station is too much trouble, kerosene is an excellent alternative.
b) Kerosene has a higher flash point than diesel fuel, making it safer to store and handle.
Kerosene has a higher flash point than diesel, making it safer to store and handle. However, this also means kerosene burns hotter, which can cause more wear on your generator's engine. Plus, kerosene lacks diesel's lubricating properties, potentially shortening your generator's lifespan.
c) Kerosene does not gel as easily
Since kerosene doesn't solidify as quickly as diesel fuel, it can run much smoother in cooler temperatures. In certain climates, this can be a huge advantage! However, there are additives in diesel fuel that prevent it from burning.
The structure of kerosene is such that it contains fewer impurities compared to diesel. This means when it's burned, it produces less soot and other harmful emissions. This can be beneficial for the environment and also for the longevity of your generator as it can help keep the engine cleaner.
Dangers of using kerosene
While lower cost and less risk of gelling may sound like a win-win scenario, using kerosene instead of diesel in a diesel engine also carries many risks.
1) Kerosene is not lubricating
Kerosene is a harsh fuel for your diesel engine, and the lack of lubrication within the fuel can damage your diesel injector pump unless you add lubricant.
2) Kerosene is not that efficient
Because kerosene burns at a lower temperature than diesel (the aspect that prevents gelling in freezing temperatures), it is much less fuel efficient and reduces your engine's power. If you're looking for a lot of power you won't be able to run kerosene through your diesel generator, plus the cost of wasted fuel may be higher than you expect.
3) Kerosene can damage some diesel generators
Although some diesel engines have kerosene as an accepted alternative fuel option, not all do. Running kerosene through your diesel engine can cause many engine problems unless the kerosene is an approved fuel.
4) Using kerosene may void the warranty
Using kerosene may void your generator engine warranty if kerosene is not an approved alternative fuel for your particular engine. Consult your BISON generator supplier before using kerosene.
5) Kerosene is more volatile than diesel fuel, making it more likely to evaporate in hot weather
Kerosene's higher volatility compared to diesel means it turns into a gas more readily. This can, in turn, lead to easier ignition and potentially smoother engine operation in certain conditions. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that it's suitable for use in a diesel generator.
6) Kerosene can be more difficult to find than diesel fuel in some areas
In many areas, kerosene can be more difficult to find than diesel fuel. This is because kerosene isn't as widely used as a fuel source, so fewer retailers stock it.
How to run a diesel generator on kerosene
If you're in a situation where you need to use kerosene in your diesel generator, here's a simple guide:
1) Check your generator's manual: Some diesel generators are designed to run on kerosene, while others are not. It is important to check the owner's manual to see if your generator is compatible with kerosene.
2) Mix with Diesel: if you can, mix kerosene with diesel fuel. A common ratio is 50% diesel to 50% kerosene. This can help maintain the lubricity of your engine and prevent potential damage.
3) Add a Lubricity Additive: As mentioned earlier, using a lubricity additive can help protect your generator's engine parts from potential wear and tear caused by kerosene's lower lubricity.
4) Frequent engine oil changes: Change the engine oil more frequently than when running on diesel fuel. Kerosene burns hotter than diesel, which can increase the operating temperature of the engine. When the oil is contaminated or degraded, its ability to manage heat is reduced, potentially leading to overheating(generator overheating causes and solutions). Frequent oil changes help maintain optimal heat management.
5) Monitoring engine wear: While kerosene can be used in diesel generators short term, consistent use may potentially damage them.
Remember, using kerosene in your diesel generator should be considered a temporary solution. For optimal performance and longevity, it's best to use the fuel recommended by BISON generator's manufacturer.
Safety precautions when using kerosene in a diesel generator
Kerosene is a flammable liquid, so it is important to take safety precautions when using it. Be sure to store kerosene in a safe location and avoid handling it near open flames.
Troubleshooting tips for running a diesel generator on kerosene
Check the fuel filter to make sure it is not clogged.
Clean the fuel injectors.
Try a different brand of kerosene.
Conclusion
Kerosene is a fuel that can be used to run a diesel generator. While this is not recommended, it is possible. Check the BISON diesel generator manufacturer in China recommendations before using kerosene in a diesel generator.
Your inquiry regarding the use of kerosene to power a generator has been sufficiently addressed, along with numerous related topics. I trust that you will find this article beneficial.
In fact, because heating oil and diesel fuel share common properties, they can be used as a substitute for diesel fuel. However, diesel fuel has additives that improve fuel efficiency. Conversely, heating oil is not best suited for engine use because it is unrefined and carries contaminants.
A range of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propane, and natural gas can be used to power generators. While smaller engines typically use gasoline, larger ones have the flexibility to operate on diesel, natural gas, or propane. Some generators are dual-fuel, running on either gas or propane, while tri-fuel models can operate on any of the three aforementioned fuel types. | eng | 2701c07e-fe30-4324-86f2-3fdb5cbc2f42 | https://china-bison.com/can-you-run-a-diesel-generator-on-kerosene/ |

FAQs
Here are some helpful tips from professional chefs when cooking on stainless steel pans:
Make sure the pan surface is clean. • Small attached food particles or residue can provide contact surfaces of the pan.
Allow foods to come to room temperature before adding them to the pan. • Placing chilled food in a heated pan causes sticking, even in stick-resistant pans.
Make sure the food surface is dry. • For proteins, such as meat and seafood, pat dry to remove any excess moisture before adding to the pan. This will enable better browning and food release.
Preheat the pan. • Preheat the dry pan on medium temperatures for a couple of minutes to ensure the pan is properly heated. Most often, sticking occurs when the pan and oil isn't hot enough. For searing, you can test for the correct temperature by adding a couple droplets of water in the dry pan. They should float and "dance" on the surface of the pan and not boil and evaporate. Remove the water before adding any fat.
Add oil or butter. • A small amount of oil, butter or margarine is needed to lightly coat the surface of the pan. It's important to heat the butter or oil to the right temperature so the food surface sears immediately. What to look for: Butter will melt, crackle and start to foam. When the butter stops making noise, add the food. Oil should begin to ripple and spread quickly over the surface of the pan. Add food to the pan before the oil starts smoking.
Add the food. • For proteins, allow to sear/cook for approximately 2-4 minutes without moving or flipping. The food may stick initially, but will release on its own once the moisture on the surface has evaporated and browning occurs. After the initial sear, you may need to lower the temperature to continue the cooking process.
Don't overcrowd the pan. • Crowding lowers the temperature and releases moisture into the pan which prevents proper browning and food release. If needed, cook in batches.
Allow cookware to cool thoroughly before washing. Hand wash nonstick cookware in warm, sudsy water with a liquid dish washing detergent and a nonabrasive sponge or soft bristle brush. For harder to remove stains and residue, soak the cookware in hot water with a liquid dish washing detergent. For additional cleaning instructions for your particular product line, please read the Use & Care of your product.
Occasionally stainless steel may exhibit a rainbow-like discoloration. This discoloration is normal for new stainless steel cookware and won't affect cooking performance. Such discoloration may also take place if the cookware is exposed to higher temperatures. As long as the cookware has not been overheated, this rainbow-like discoloration should be easy to remove.
To remove, dilute some white vinegar with a bit of water and grab a non-abrasive sponge. Clean the pot or pan with the mixture and the sponge. Rinse, dry and your cookware should be good as new. Besides, lemon juice will remove the 'rainbow' effect as well.
Almost all our Stainless Steel cookware, Tri-Ply Stainless Steel cookware, Enamel Cast Iron Cookware and Carbon Steel cookware are induction capable. Induction cook tops contain high-frequency electromagnets. In order to generate heat, the cookware used with induction cook tops must also contain magnetic elements. Cookware made from iron, such as our Enamel Cast Iron cookware, contains a ferrous material, and therefore is suitable for induction stovetops; however, aluminum, copper and glass cookware is NOT suitable.
Although Metier and Toolbar cookware handles are designed to stay comfortably cool during stove top cooking, always use caution when cooking on the stove top and oven. Short handles, high cooking temperatures, and long cooking times can cause handles to get hot on the stove top, or when used in the oven. Always use a potholder or oven mitt to prevent burns when handling cookware on the stove top, and when removing pans from the oven.
We use only the highest grades of stainless steel in our products. Many of our products are constructed using 18/10 stainless steel, which denotes the ratio of chromium and nickel respectively. Higher nickel content is preferable because it resists rust and corrosion. Metier and Toolbar do use 18/10 material in many of our products and we conduct extensive testing to ensure all materials meet our strict quality and performance standards.
PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a resin used in a large number of consumer applications, including nonstick coating for cookware. Because PTFE is durable and long lasting, it is used in a wide range of consumer products, including stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, medical devices, electronics and fireproof coatings. PTFE is well suited for cookware use and is the nonstick coating of choice for high-performance results.
PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is used as a processing aid during manufacturing to help nonstick coatings adhere to pan interiors.
Enamel Cast Iron cookware features a porcelain enamel coating. When subjected to large temperature variations, such as submerging a hot cast iron pan in cool water, the enamel coating can crack or peel. To ensure this does not happen, always cool the pan before cleaning.
Yes. Nonstick coating could chip or peel. However, Metier and Toolbar carefully control its nonstick coating process to maximize the durability and resilience of the cooking surface. The nonstick coating is designed for long-term use when used properly and at the recommended cooking temperatures.

Why Do Babies Joints Pop?
Slipping tendons are most likely responsible for this pop sound. This occurs when bones interact with tendons or so-called soft tissue. That's the answer to why do babies' joints pop? It's a very normal thing to happen to babies.
They are making sounds and popping noises usually when they make a move. If we can compare it with something, it's similar to when a person cracks its knuckles or ankles or even when you snap your neck.
Joints in your baby's bones pop when they make a sharp movement, such as crawling. When the joint pops, it lets your baby know that the movement is uncomfortable and should be stopped.
The joints are sensitive to pressure. They can pop rather easily, especially during a trip to the grocery store. If you continue to feel pressure on the joint even after it pops, take your baby in for a check-up at their pediatrician's office or get medical help right away if he or she seems unresponsive and uncomfortable for more than 24 hours.
This question has puzzled and intrigued medical scientists for decades. Some theories suggest that infantile muscle spasms cause the joints to pop, which can help babies sit up alone.
Others say the popping is caused by repeated use of muscles like those in the legs, arms, and torso that can create an uneven distribution of pressure at a joint.
So, to sum it up, why do babies' joints pop? The answer to this is probably because their bones – hard tissue is interacting with tendons – soft tissue. When this is happening, they are making these clicking sounds.
Is it normal for children's joints to click?
What refers to us, refers to babies as well. It's totally normal for their joints to snap and creak from time to time. It might be a little irritating but that's a normal process.
The cracks can, however, become more noticeable if they are accompanied by pain or swelling which can indicate that something is wrong. So, why do babies' joints pop? Next to this popular question is right this one, is it normal for children's joints to click.
If you have a child who seems to be having difficulty balancing or walking, he or she may be experiencing what's called "clicking joints."
This is caused by the hip sockets coming together and the softer tissues between them — muscles in particular — being compressed. A clicking joint can make it tough for kids to move around and get around easily, which can cause concern for parents.
But there are a few things that can help alleviate the problem. You can get advice from your doctor or physical therapist after your child develops some symptoms of clicking.
You'll also want to step up your activity level so that your kid isn't only sitting still but maintaining their muscles' strength with movement.
Why does my baby make a clicking sound?
Why do babies' joints pop? Because their little bones are interacting with soft tissue. But, why does my baby make a clicking sound? If it's not with their bones, they might make sounds with their mouth and tongue.
Babies can put a lot of different things in the mouth even the one that is not eatable, like eating paper, toys, and other materials. So, parents have to be cautious about that.
Babies make clicking noises when they are teething or yawning. Gently rubbing the gum with a finger can sometimes help alleviate this sound, as well as allow an opening for them to release excess pressure from their mouth.
This is a totally normal part of a baby's natural development. Making these noises and sounds with their mouth and tongue can help babies to learn how to mimic sounds better and eventually talk. Even though the baby is still far from talking, this can be a good exercise for its first mumble sounds.
These clicking noises can be made at the earliest stage when the mother is nursing the infant. This means that the child is constantly breaking the suction or the seal. There's no need for worrying. If the mother feels comfortable and there are no injuries like soreness of the nipples, everything is fine.
In some rare cases, the clicking sound may be attributed to other oral issues such as jaw misalignment or a foreign object in their mouth. However, if your baby is not experiencing any discomfort, has been eating properly and developing normally otherwise, and has just started making this noise recently – chances are it's just a coincidence.
Is it bad to crack a baby's back?
The short answer is no, but it's important to remember that the long answer isn't necessarily black and white. It can vary widely depending on how much force you use, the age of your child, how often he or she is cracking their back before playing, what other medical conditions they have. There are some very good reasons not to crack a baby's back.
All that being said, here are some basic safety rules for when you're trying to make sure your child does and doesn't crack their own back:
Freeze in place when attempting to crack their back;
Do not sit or hold them down;
Keep your body between the baby and whatever they're leaning against.
Summary
Why do babies' joints pop? Throughout history, medical scientists have pondered this question.
Studies suggest that muscular spasms cause the joints to pop, which might help babies sit up independently. Others claim the popping is caused by repetitive movements of muscles such as those in the legs, arms, torso, that may unevenly distribute pressure at a joint.
But the most probable reason why babies' joints pop is that its hard and soft tissue is sliding on one another.
It's a very normal situation that happens to almost every baby. Those clicking sounds are usually similar to cracking knuckles, elbows, or wrists on a grown-up.
But, sometimes if the popping noises are frequent and you think that your baby is uncomfortable or rather in pain, take your baby in for a check-up. You would want to make sure that everything is okay and that your baby is following the path of healthy development | eng | 51a1ed14-9a32-49cb-a38a-fd17c3691b8b | https://herscoop.com/why%E2%80%8C-do%E2%80%8C-babies%E2%80%8C-joints%E2%80%8C-pop/ |
SINGAPORE - A total of 103 suspected drug offenders were arrested in a four-day operation conducted by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), CNB said Friday afternoon.
The island-wide operation covered areas including Ang Mo Kio, Bedok and Woodlands and was conducted from June 1 to the morning of June 5. Drugs seized included 88g of heroin, 9g of crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as "ice", and a small amount of cannabis and opium powder.
In one of the operations on June 3, CNB officers arrested a 62-year-old Singaporean male suspected of being a drug trafficker in Bedok North. Officers found 37g of heroin and 4g of "ice" on him.

He will be investigated for drug trafficking. | eng | b29638b3-67b3-46f1-95e2-16e30de21736 | https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/103-drug-suspects-nabbed-in-four-day-central-narcotics-bureau-operation |
National Water Safety Plan Underway
Find out what the comprehensive national drowning prevention plan will include.
A comprehensive national plan to curb drowning in the U.S. is underway.
The U.S. National Water Safety Action Plan comes in response to a recommendation from the World Health Organization that all countries figure out the best way to curb drowning in their area. So far a handful of countries have done so, including Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa.
A plan in the U.S. is expected to be finalized and released in spring, 2023. It will include language that can be incorporated into codes and laws, as well as priorities and goals for research and other activities. Though it is a 10-year-plan, it will be reviewed at the five-year mark to see if adjustments should be made, said Megan Ferraro, a member of the steering committee that oversees the project, as well as executive director of the ZAC Foundation in Greenwich, Conn. and Malvern, Pa.
To build the plan, six work groups were formed to cover different subjects: data/public health surveillance; supervision/lifeguards; life jackets/personal flotation devices and other flotation; rescue/CPR; barriers/entrapment/electrical safety; water safety/water competence/swimming lessons.
The work groups and steering committee are populated by stakeholders of all stripes, including water safety organizations, safety experts, health experts, and non-profit foundations. Some of the more high-profile organizations participating include the American Red Cross, YMCA, Boy Scouts, the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, USA Swimming, American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC.
This spring, the group plans to release a delphi survey, allowing feedback and ratings of the comprehensive plan draft.
At this point, the steering committee and work groups have made several observations about the state of water safety in the U.S.
"We have a lot of stakeholders who are doing really strong work in drowning prevention awareness," Ferraro said. "But we know that we have real gaps in water safety education — there are real racial disparities. And there is a lot we don't know — which swim lessons are most effective, at which age swim lessons are best taught. We'll be taking some of those gaps that we know exist and creating research projects around them."
With the U.S. being such a massive geographical expanse, the group is encouraging states to develop their own water safety action plans as well. So far, California is doing so | eng | 5c8d3d02-3243-4afc-ab63-9a5be8f0e28e | https://www.aquaticsintl.com/facilities/national-water-safety-plan-underway_o?utm_source=newsletter&utm_content=Article&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=PSN_042822& |
Does Height Determine Whether You'll Be a Successful NBA Player?
When it comes to the world of sports, certain criteria have to be met when trying to make a career out of it. For example, you have to be equipped with the best wrestling techniques to wrestle, you have to be able to lift weights when you go for professional weightlifting, and you have to have a good balance when you play golf.
There is something special about the NBA stars: Is it their amazing talent? Their good looks? Or their heights? Well, before you get the answer to that, you have to agree that anytime you see a tall person or a young child who is tall for their age, you naturally wonder if they'll be a future NBA star. It is a common understanding that you need to be tall to make a career in basketball. Now the question is, does height matter for NBA players?
Midia/Pexels | So, what makes a successful NBA player?
Not the Height
Despite the accepted notion that only 7-foot-plus athletes can make a career in the NBA, there have been a few who have made their mark without hitting the 7-foot mark. Just like Muggsy Bogues, who served as the Charlotte Hornets' legendary point guard, only stood 5ft 3 inches tall. Similarly, Spud Webb was only 5 foot 6 inches, but he was the Atlanta Hawks' slam dunk contest winner.
You also have Isaiah Thomas, who has a height of 5 foot 9 inches, yet he participated in the Boston Celtics All-star. Another star whose height is 5 foot and 9 inches is Calvin Murphy, who averaged at scoring 20 points for every game in the 70s, and Earl Boykins, 5 inches and 5 ft tall, ruled the basketball court in the early 2000s.
Not the Weight
Just like height, the weight of the player isn't important either. Why, you ask? Well, it's because the world of basketball witnessed gems like Oliver Miller, Robert 'Tractor' Taylor, and Mike Sweetney, who weighed close to 300 lbs while excelling at a game that relies on agility and speed.
On the flip side, Chet Holmgren, who was only 190 lbs at 7-foot-1inch height, also came through with his performance. Reggie Miller, the NBA legend and sharpshooter, weighs 185 lbs only at the height of 6 foot and 7 inches.

Then What Matters?
If this article teaches you anything, the only thing that matters is your dedication toward your goal. All the people mentioned above do not fit the general criteria of an NBA player, yet they managed to make their name all thanks to their hard work, motivation, and dedication to be the best. They focused on eating healthy diets while continuing their exercises to stay fit and compete in the NBA. For you, in retrospect, the possibilities are countless, and you can achieve whatever you put your mind to, even if it's to be a professional NBA Player. | eng | 065e666a-e61c-4d9f-8c67-62d1fd982173 | https://sportpirate.com/basketball/height-determine-whether-youll-successful-nba-player |
Biofuels
Firm biofules are for example firewood, briquette, pellets, wooden chips, bark, sawdust, wood scraps, energy cereal etc. Bioenery do not increase carbon dioxide in the long run as the carbon that is released when you burn it will again be catched by growing biomass.
Firewood and wooden chips are the most common biofules used at farms in Finland. During the last years we have tried to increase the amount of wood used for fuels in order to reach our climate target goals. The burning of wooden chips has also increased as new burning technologies has spread. Straw is a side stream from agriculture and this can be used for producing energy. If one make pellets from straw one increace the energy efficiency of it and the logistics of it will be easier.
There are a lot of lakes and coast lines in Finland. Locally is therefor also lake reed, reed canary grass and wicker possible to use as raw materials for biofuels.
General information about using biofules such as fire wood, wood scraps, wooden chips and straw were described in the project. A case of burning fresh wood was described, where it turned out that this may give a higher energy efficiensy in larger heating centrals. Västankvarn and Tarvaala educational farms has been developing the energy efficiency at their farms. Västankvarn energy solutions were described. Tarvaala Bioeconomy Institute Campus has been developing the use of sun energy | eng | ac9590eb-6a64-4800-914f-4c1436f717d9 | http://ravinnejaenergia.fi/en/biofuels/ |
The other major conceptual advance in electromagnetic theory was the special theory of relativity. In Maxwell's time, a mechanistic view of the universe held sway. Sound was interpreted as an undulatory motion of the air, while light and other electromagnetic waves were regarded as undulatory motions of an intangible medium called ether. The question arose as to whether the velocity of light measured by an observer moving relative to ether would be affected by his motion. Albert Abraham Michelson and Edward W. Morley of the United States had demonstrated in 1887 that light in a vacuum on Earth travels at a constant speed which is independent of the direction of the light relative to the direction of Earth's motion through the ether. Lorentz and Henri Poincaré, a French physicist, showed between 1900 and 1904 that the conclusions of Michelson and Morley were consistent with Maxwell's equations. On this basis, Lorentz and Poincaré developed a theory of relativity in which the absolute motion of a body relative to a hypothetical ether is no longer significant. Poincaré named the theory the principle of relativity in a lecture at the St. Louis Exposition in September 1904. Planck gave the first formulation of relativistic dynamics two years later. The most general formulation of the special theory of relativity, however, was put forth by Einstein in 1905, and the theory of relativity is usually associated with his name. Einstein postulated that the speed of light is a constant, independent of the motion of the source of the light, and showed how the Newtonian laws of mechanics would have to be modified. While Maxwell had synthesized electricity and magnetism into one theory, he had regarded them as essentially two interdependent phenomena; Einstein showed that they are two aspects of the same phenomenon.
Maxwell's equations, the special theory of relativity, the discovery of the electronic structure of matter, and the formulation of quantum mechanics all occurred before 1930. The quantum electrodynamics theory, developed between 1945 and 1955, subsequently resolved some minute discrepancies in the calculations of certain atomic properties. For example, the accuracy with which it is now possible to calculate one of the numbers describing the magnetic moment of the electron is comparable to measuring the distance between New York City and Los Angeles to within the thickness of a human hair. As a result, quantum electrodynamics is the most complete and precise theory of any physical phenomenon. The remarkable correspondence between theory and observation makes it unique among human endeavours.
Electromagnetic technology began with Faraday's discovery of induction in 1831 (see above). His demonstration that a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a nearby circuit showed that mechanical energy can be converted to electric energy. It provided the foundation for electric power generation, leading directly to the invention of the dynamo and the electric motor. Faraday's finding also proved crucial for lighting and heating systems.
The early electric industry was dominated by the problem of generating electricity on a large scale. Within a year of Faraday's discovery, a small hand-turned generator in which a magnet revolved around coils was demonstrated in Paris. In 1833 there appeared an English model that featured the modern arrangement of rotating the coils in the field of a fixed magnet. By 1850 generators were manufactured commercially in several countries. Permanent magnets were used to produce the magnetic field in generators until the principle of the self-excited generator was discovered in 1866. (A self-excited generator has stronger magnetic fields because it uses electromagnets powered by the generator itself.) In 1870 Zénobe Théophile Gramme, a Belgian manufacturer, built the first practical generator capable of producing a continuous current. It was soon found that the magnetic field is more effective if the coil windings are embedded in slots in the rotating iron armature. The slotted armature, still in use today, was invented in 1880 by the Swedish engineer Jonas Wenström. Faraday's 1831 discovery of the principle of the alternating-current (AC) transformer was not put to practical use until the late 1880s when the heated debate over the merits of direct-current and alternating-current systems for power transmission was settled in favour of the latter.
At first, the only serious consideration for electric power was arc lighting, in which a brilliant light is emitted by an electric spark between two electrodes. The arc lamp was too powerful for domestic use, however, and so it was limited to large installations like lighthouses, train stations, and department stores. Commercial development of an incandescent filament lamp, first invented in the 1840s, was delayed until a filament could be made that would heat to incandescence without melting and until a satisfactory vacuum tube could be built. The mercury pump, invented in 1865, provided an adequate vacuum, and a satisfactory carbon filament was developed independently by the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan and the American inventor Thomas Edison during the late 1870s. By 1880 both had applied for patents for their incandescent lamps, and the ensuing litigation between the two men was resolved by the formation of a joint company in 1883. Thanks to the incandescent lamp, electric lighting became an accepted part of urban life by 1900. The tungsten filament lamp, introduced during the early 1900s, was long the principal form of electric lamp, though it was supplanted by more efficient fluorescent gas discharge lamps and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Electricity took on a new importance with the development of the electric motor. This machine, which converts electric energy to mechanical energy, has become an integral component of a wide assortment of devices ranging from kitchen appliances and office equipment to industrial robots and rapid-transit vehicles. Although the principle of the electric motor was devised by Faraday in 1821, no commercially significant unit was produced until 1873. In fact, the first important AC motor, built by the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, was not demonstrated in the United States until 1888. Tesla began producing his motors in association with the Westinghouse Electric Company a few years after DC motors had been installed in trains in Germany and Ireland. By the end of the 19th century, the electric motor had taken a recognizably modern form. Subsequent improvements have rarely involved radically new ideas. However, the introduction of better designs and new bearing, armature, magnetic, and contact materials has resulted in the manufacture of smaller, cheaper, and more efficient and reliable motors.

The modern communications industry is among the most spectacular products of electricity. Telegraph systems using wires and simple electrochemical or electromechanical receivers proliferated in western Europe and the United States during the 1840s. An operable cable was installed under the English Channel in 1865, and a pair of transatlantic cables were successfully laid a year later. By 1872 almost all of the major cities of the world were linked by telegraph.

Until 1939 the electronics industry was almost exclusively concerned with communications and broadcast entertainment. Scientists and engineers in Britain, Germany, France, and the United States did initiate research on radar systems capable of aircraft detection and antiaircraft fire control during the 1930s, however, and this marked the beginning of a new direction for electronics. During World War II and after, the electronics industry made strides paralleled only by those of the chemical industry. Television became commonplace, and a broad array of new devices and systems emerged, most notably the electronic digital computer.
The electronic revolution of the last half of the 20th century was made possible in large part by the invention of the transistor (1947) and such subsequent developments as the integrated circuit. (For detailed coverage of these and other major advances, seeelectronics.) This miniaturization and integration of circuit elements has led to a remarkable diminution in the size and cost of electronic equipment and an equally impressive increase in its reliability. | eng | 865870da-2433-4510-b906-c7111a6ca25a | https://www.britannica.com/science/electromagnetism/Special-theory-of-relativity |

Marketing is an essential component of business management and commerce. It involves targeting products to other companies (B2B marketing) or directly to consumers (B2C marketing). Sales and marketing are two distinct business functions that both have an impact on lead generation and revenue. Sales refers to all activities that lead to the sale of goods and services, while marketing is the process of getting people interested in the goods and services being sold.
It's important to note that marketing is different from advertising. While both belong to the communications departments of most schools, they are generally treated as separate specializations. Marketing is defined as the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service. As such, marketing teams work together to create campaigns and programs that grow the business.
Market researchers provide information to marketers on how to position the right products at the right price for customers who need them. A marketing generalist oversees all aspects of marketing, including email campaigns, content planning, product announcements, and social media accounts. Email marketers should collaborate with all marketing teams to ensure their email strategy is consistent with the organization's overall messaging. This role also represents marketing in cross-functional team meetings, supports the sales team, and measures the success of marketing programs.
Product marketing managers ensure that customers understand the value of a company's product and drive customer demand and product adoption. Communications marketers work to improve a company's visibility in the market for customers, the public, the media, and sometimes investors. Content marketing teams create content such as blog posts (inbound marketing) which digital marketing teams actively promote in banner ads (outbound marketing). Due to limited resources, many organizations employ generalists instead of multiple specialized marketing teams.
This creates a high demand for professionals who can work as generalists in the field of marketingLeave Message

Security breaches are a common occurrence in today's fashion industry. With the increase in the number of people shopping online, it has become more difficult for retailers to keep their stores safe.
There are many factors that can lead to security breaches such as lack of staff, weak physical security, and lack of proper training. However, with today's technology and advancements in cyber security, there are ways that retailers can lower their risk.
To start, retailers should implement a strong digital strategy and have a well-trained team of employees to provide customer support online and offline. They should also make use of the latest technologies such as facial recognition software to scan for suspicious activity on their premises.
Introduction of Business Risk Analysis in the Fashion Industry and Its Importance
Business risk analysis is a process that helps to identify, evaluate, and mitigate the risks in your business. It is an important tool for any business owner or manager.
In the fashion industry, it has been shown that assessing business risk can help to increase profitability. This analysis can be completed by using traditional methods such as financial statements, audits, etc. However, these methods are limited because they only look at one aspect of a company's health – cash flow. In order to gain a comprehensive perspective on the company's health and performance, you need to consider more factors such as operational effectiveness and customer satisfaction levels.
The importance of this analysis is clear when you consider how many businesses have failed due to poor management.
The Role of Technology in Business Risk Monitoring
While the business risk analysis is not a new concept, technology has brought about many changes. From the use of sensors and cameras to data analytics and big data, technology has made it possible for businesses to monitor their risks.
The increasing use of technology in businesses has led to an increased need for security systems. This is because the presence of security systems helps to prevent potential risks from happening and also helps in creating a safer working environment.
Companies are increasingly turning to technology-based solutions for risk monitoring as they offer more efficient ways of gathering information at scale, which can be used in real-time decision making.
How Many Employees are Necessary for Good Security?
A security employee is any person who is employed to protect a company from theft, fraud, and physical harm.
The number of security personnel required for a company can vary depending on the size of the company. Some companies might need one or two employees while others might need hundreds of employees.
Here we will discuss how many employees are necessary for good security in different industries and what factors influence that number. You need to buy rifle scopes online from Palmetto State Armory for security guards, so they can enhance fashion store security.
There are many factors that influence the number of security personnel needed in different types of industries. This includes the type of industry, whether or not there are multiple locations, and whether or not there are strict regulations on the industry.
The main factor that influences how many security employees a company needs is size. The larger a company is, the more likely they will require more workers.
In order to build a safer shopping experience, companies need to be able to detect unusual behaviors that may indicate a fraudulent transaction. With the use of AI technology, these transactions can be identified and blocked in real-time | eng | 58ea6738-f24f-411b-a4be-5d4a6819acee | https://lifestylefashiontips.com/how-to-lower-your-fashion-retail-stores-security-risk-with-todays-technology/ |

Α receпt stυdy by SETI Iпstitυte has coпclυded that there are 36 alieп races iп the Milky Way. This stυdy also foυпd that 22 alieп races are oп Earth. right пow. This is iп additioп to the hυmaп race.The stυdy's coпclυsioпs are based oп remote observatioпs of radio sigпals iп space, which have beeп recorded by the GPM aпd other satellites over decades. The SETI Iпstitυte has also υsed their "The Αlieп Radio Wave Database" which has beeп compiled over time to determiпe differeпt types of alieп radio waves that are already kпowп.
The пew research released by SETI Iпstitυte's Seth Shostak aпd Αmy Lieп is the first compreheпsive sυrvey of how maпy iпtelligeпt civilizatioпs may exist iп oυr galaxy.
Αlthoυgh the υпiverse is eпormoυs aпd coпtaiпs maпy differeпt plaпets, Earth possesses aп υпυsυally high пυmber of alieп races. This is part of the reasoп why people are drawп to watch TV shows aпd movies aboυt alieпs.
There are also 36 alieп races iп the Milky Way, some of which may have iпteracted with oυr civilizatioп iп the past. Αccordiпg to official records, we are yet to iпteract with aпy of these alieп races. Bυt, giveп the exteпt goverпmeпts woυld go to hide certaiп trυths from the pυblic, we caп пever be too sυre.
However, there are accoυпts from 1837 where Scottish scieпtist, Thomas Dick, estimates that at least 22 billioп alieпs are liviпg oп every sυrface of the solar system. He had this graпd idea to coпstrυct a massive triaпgυlar strυctυre iп Siberia to help alieпs fiпd υs easier, eveп with their пaked eyes.
There are also reports of artificial strυctυres beiпg discovered throυghoυt the solar system. This пarrative is famoυsly kпowп as "The Great Mooп Hoax" aпd was pυblished iп 1835. This may be aп old story, bυt what if this specυlatioп was trυe?
So how maпy alieп civilizatioпs are littered aroυпd the υпiverse? We will пever kпow. Bυt what if we limit the search to the Milky Way galaxy? Well, some astroпaυts believe that there are 36 alieп races liviпg пear υs.
The records oп these claims have beeп altered siпce they were first aппoυпced, bυt some accoυпts still claim that several civilizatioпs are iп coпstaпt coпtact with hυmaпity.

Noun strings weigh down sentences, and force the listener or reader to work harder to understand the message. To fix, rearrange the sentence to eliminate a series of nouns used as adjectives.
Before: "The Club's Executive committee met to discuss their written draft for the club's Toastmasters International Club Success Plan."
Correction: "The Club Executive met to discuss their Club Success Plan draft."
Avoid Vague Nouns.
A noun may be specific or general. Phrases formed around general nouns such as: "person," "place," "situation," or "thing," clutter sentences.
Before: "She is a specialist in the area of the Pathways projects."
Correction: "Sarah is a specialist in Pathways."
Convert Nouns To Verbs.
When a sentence includes a noun ending in: "tion," change the noun to a verb to simplify the sentence.
Before: "Members will team up in the creation of new guidelines."
Correction: "Members will team up to create new guidelines."
Eliminate Prepositional Phrases.
A prepositional phrase is a group of words consisting of a preposition, its object, and any words that modify the object.
Before: "At the charter meeting, Dave gave out cupcakes to all attendees with blue and yellow sprinkles on them."
Correction: "At the charter meeting, Dave gave all attendees a cupcake with blue and yellow sprinkles on them."
Replace Complex Words With Simple Ones.
Simply multisyllabic words.
Before: "The Club President will administer the forms today."
Correction: "The Club President will hand out the forms today."
Reduce Wordy Phrases To Single Words.
You risk losing your listener's or reader's attention with an overly wordy sentence. Replace phrases that signal a transition with simple conjunctions, verbs, or other linking words.
Before: "Due to the fact that the weather has changed towards the worst, tonight's in-person meeting has been changed to a virtual meeting format.
Correction: Due to the changing weather, tonight's in-person meeting is virtual.
Use an Active, not Passive Voice.
When a sentence includes: "appear," "are," "be," "become," "is," "feel," "look," "seem," or any other linking verbs (known as copulative verbs), reframe the sentence to omit the verb.
Before: "The activity was seen by us as a great way to bond with each other"
Correction: "We saw the activity as a great way to bond."
Use Simple Verbs instead of Verb Phrases.
A verb phrase consists of a verb with another word that further explains the verb tense, action, and tone. To simplify your sentence, fine the verb buried in a verb phrase and omit the rest of the phrase.
Before: "I have been participating in club meetings." (verb phrase is: "have been participating")
Correction: "I participate in club meetings."
Use Words, Not Their Definitions.
Replace explanatory phrases with a single word that sums up that explanation.
Before: "The event speakers also need to be approachable so that members would be able to gain any returns that exceeded what they personally wanted for themselves from the experience."
Correction: "The event speakers need to be approachable so that members gain from the experience." | eng | d9f4e0a1-cea4-4487-8928-b63ed58ad169 | https://toastmasters86.org/using-direct-language-when-drafting-speeches-or-blog-articles/ |
Software Training Best Practices
Identify training needs: The first step in developing an effective software training program is to identify the training needs of your organization. This involves assessing the skills and knowledge of your employees and identifying areas where additional training is required.
Develop clear learning objectives: Before beginning any training program, it's essential to develop clear learning objectives that define what employees will be able to do after completing the training. These objectives should be specific, measurable, and achievable.
Use a variety of training methods: People have different learning styles, so it's essential to use a variety of training methods, such as classroom training, online training, and hands-on training. This will ensure that all employees receive the training they need in a format that works best for them.
Provide ongoing support: Learning doesn't stop once the training program is over. To ensure that employees retain what they have learned, it's important to provide ongoing support, such as follow-up training, coaching, and access to resources.
Make training interactive: Interactive training is more engaging and effective than passive training. Incorporating interactive elements such as quizzes, games, and simulations can help employees retain information better and make the training experience more enjoyable.
Create a supportive environment: Creating a supportive learning environment can improve the effectiveness of software training. This includes providing a quiet and comfortable learning environment, access to necessary tools and resources, and opportunities for employees to ask questions and receive feedback.
Evaluate training effectiveness: It's essential to evaluate the effectiveness of software training to ensure that it meets its objectives. This can be done through assessments, surveys, and feedback from employees.
In conclusion, effective software training is essential for organizations to maximize the value of their technology investments and improve employee performance.
