Mozambique's rubies: A blessing or a curse? | DW Documentary
youtube
In Mozambique, agriculture is the mainstay of the economy and the country has a great potential for growth in the sector. Agriculture employs more than 80 percent of the labour force and provides livelihoods to the vast majority of over 23 million inhabitants. Agriculture contributed 31.5 percent of the GDP in 2009, while commerce and services accounted for 44.9 percent. By contrast, 20 percent of the total export value in 2009 originated from the agriculture sector, mostly through the export of fish (mainly shrimps and prawns), timber, copra, cashew nuts and citrus, cotton, coconuts, tea and tobacco.[14]
There are large mineral deposits, but exploration has been constrained by the civil war (1977–1992) and poor infrastructure. The World Bank has estimated that there was the potential for exports worth US$200m by 2005 – in the late 1990s they totaled US$3.6m, some 1% of total exports, and a contribution of less than 2% of GDP. Minerals currently being mined include marble, bentonite, coal, gold, bauxite, granite, titanium and gemstones. Illegal exports from artisanal production are estimated at US$50 million.[original research?]
Mozambique exported its first batch of coal in 2011 and expects to become the world's largest coal exporter. It is also spending about US$50 billion in infrastructure projects to access its coal reserves. Mozambique is reported to have the fourth largest reserves of natural gas in the world, after Russia, Iran, and Qatar.[20]
The Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral[1] (Portuguese: Catedral Metropolitana de Nossa Senhora do Rosário) also called Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary, is located in Beira,[2][3] a town in the African country of Mozambique[4] and is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Beira.
Beira is where the Pungwe River meets the Indian Ocean. It is the fourth-largest city by population in Mozambique, after Maputo, Matola and Nampula. Beira had a population of 397,368 in 1997, which grew to 530,604 in 2019. A coastal city, it holds the regionally significant Port of Beira, which acts as a gateway for both the central interior portion of the country as well as the land-locked nations of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi.
A marina (from Spanish [maˈɾina], Portuguese [mɐˈɾinɐ] and Italian [maˈriːna]: "related to the sea") is a dock or basin with moorings and supplies for yachts and small boats. A marina differs from a port in that a marina does not handle large passenger ships or cargo from freighters.
A fishmonger (historically fishwife for female practitioners) is someone who sells raw fish and seafood. Fishmongers can be wholesalers or retailers and are trained at selecting and purchasing, handling, gutting, boning, filleting, displaying, merchandising and selling their product. In some countries modern supermarkets are replacing fishmongers who operate in shops or fish markets.

Gross national product (GNP) GNP is related to another important economic measure called gross domestic product (GDP), which takes into account all output produced within a country's borders regardless of who owns the means of production. GNP starts with GDP, adds residents' investment income from overseas investments, and subtracts foreign residents' investment income earned within a country. Whilst GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country's borders, GNP focuses on the income generated by its residents, regardless of their location.
Gross National Income (GNI) is the total amount of money earned by a nation's people and businesses. It is used to measure and track a nation's wealth from year to year. The number includes the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) plus the income it receives from overseas sources.

Supporting Striker (Inverted Winger)
Central Winger (False 10)
Overlapping Run/Defensive Winger (Half-winger)
An inverted winger is a modern tactical development of the traditional winger position. Most wingers are assigned to either side of the field based on their footedness, with right-footed players on the right and left-footed players on the left.[65] This assumes that assigning a player to their natural side ensures a more powerful cross as well as greater ball protection along the touch-lines. However, when the position is inverted and a winger instead plays inside-out on the opposite flank (i.e., a right-footed player as a left inverted winger), they effectively become supporting strikers and primarily assume a role in the attack.[66]
The "false 10" or "central winger"[55] is a type of midfielder, which differs from the trequartista. Much like the "false 9", their specificity lies in the fact that, although they seemingly play as an attacking midfielder on paper, unlike a traditional playmaker who stays behind the striker in the centre of the pitch, the false 10's goal is to move out of position and drift wide when in possession of the ball to help both the wingers and fullbacks to overload the flanks. This means two problems for the opposing midfielders: either they let the false 10 drift wide, and their presence, along with both the winger and the fullback, creates a three-on-two player advantage out wide; or they follow the false 10, but leave space in the centre of the pitch for wingers or onrushing midfielders to exploit. False 10s are usually traditional wingers who are told to play in the centre of the pitch, and their natural way of playing makes them drift wide and look to provide deliveries into the box for teammates.
In Italian football, the term mezzala (literally "half-winger" in Italian) is used to describe the position of the one or two central midfielders who play on either side of a holding midfielder and/or playmaker. The term was initially applied to the role of an inside forward in the WM and Metodo formations in Italian, but later described a specific type of central midfielder. The mezzala is often a quick and hard-working attack-minded midfielder, with good skills and noted offensive capabilities, as well as a tendency to make overlapping attacking runs, but also a player who participates in the defensive aspect of the game, and who can give width to a team by drifting out wide; as such, the term can be applied to several different roles.
On occasion, the false-10 can also function in a different manner alongside a false-9, usually in a 4–6–0 formation. Midfield collective of False 9, False 10, Box to Box, Holding, Half Winger, Attacking, Defensive.
Thiago Motta’s ‘Super Offensive’ 2-7-2 Formation Explained: Instead of the traditional way of looking at a tactical set-up horizontally, the Brazil-born manager instead split the field into three vertical lanes. This means he effectively has seven players in the central channel with two players out wide on each flank.
We are not stretching the defensive line itsself, but the space between the defensive line and the goalkeeper

The language emerged from contact between French settlers and enslaved Africans during the Atlantic slave trade in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although its vocabulary largely derives from 18th-century French, its grammar is that of a West African Volta-Congo language branch, particularly the Fongbe and Igbo languages.

Go Go Music Influenced, Eurphoric Trance Chord Progression Melody, Progressive House and Drum n' Bass Percussion-808 Call and Response Staccato Polyrhythm or Layered Kick and Punch 808.
In his 1972 study of French lute music, scholar Wallace Rave compiled a list of features he believed to be characteristic of style brisé. Rave's list included the following: the avoidance of textural pattern and regularity in part writing; arpeggiated chord textures with irregular distribution of individual notes of the chord; ambiguous melodic lines; rhythmic displacement of notes within a melodic line; octave changes within melodic line; irregular phrase lengths.
Have the Snare and Kick say, "Hi, How are you?" And the 808 say, "I am good thanks for asking.”
Use progressive House to push the Drums Conversation to either Fast and Punchy for Happy or Slow and Deep for Sad.
In technical terms, "go-go's essential beat is characterized by a five through four syncopated rhythm that is underscored prominently by the bass drum and snare drum, and the hi-hat... [and] is ornamented by the other percussion instruments, especially by the conga drums, rototoms, and hand-held cowbells."[5]
Polyrhythm: In music, a cross-beat or cross-rhythm is a specific form of polyrhythm. The term cross rhythm was introduced in 1934 by the musicologist Arthur Morris Jones (1889–1980). It refers to a situation where the rhythmic conflict found in polyrhythms is the basis of an entire musical piece.[1]
Four-on-the-floor (or four-to-the-floor) is a rhythm used primarily in dance genres such as disco and electronic dance music. It is a steady, uniformly accented beat in 4. 4 time in which the bass drum is hit on every beat (1, 2, 3, 4).[1] This was popularized in the disco music of the 1970s[2] and the term four-on-the-floor was widely used in that era, since the beat was played with the pedal-operated, drum-kit bass drum.[3][4] (Punch 808-Kick)
Polyrhythm 4 on the Floor examples 2:4 or 5:4
Hard trance is often characterized by strong, hard (or even downpitch) kicks, fully resonant basses and an increased amount of reverberation applied to the main beat. Melodies vary from 140 to 180 BPMs and it can feature plain instrumental sound in early compositions, with the latter ones tending to implement side-chaining techniques of progressive on digital synthesizers.

IMPERIALISM, THE HIGHEST STAGE OF CAPITALISM
Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,[1] originally published as Imperialism, the Newest Stage of Capitalism,[2][3] is a book written by Vladimir Lenin in 1916 and published in 1917. It describes the formation of oligopoly, by the interlacing of bank and industrial capital, in order to create a financial oligarchy, and explains the function of financial capital in generating profits from the exploitation colonialism inherent to imperialism, as the final stage of capitalism. The essay synthesises Lenin's developments of Karl Marx's theories of political economy in Das Kapital (1867).[4]

A clay-court specialist is a tennis player who excels on clay courts, more than on any other surface.
Due in part to advances in racquet technology, current clay-court specialists are known for employing long, winding groundstrokes that generate heavy topspin; such strokes are less effective on faster surfaces on which the balls do not bounce as high. Clay-court specialists tend to slide more effectively on clay than other players. Many of them are also very adept at hitting the drop shot, which can be effective because rallies on clay courts often leave players pushed far beyond the baseline. Additionally, the slow, long rallies require a great degree of mental focus and physical stamina.
CASAPIANOS MARTYROLOGY ORDER (CATHOLIC COUNTER-REFORMATION)
The Casa Pia is a Portuguese institution founded by Maria I, known as A Pia ("Mary the Pious"), and organized by Police Intendant Pina Manique in 1780, following the social disarray of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. For almost three centuries, thousands of young boys and girls were raised by Casa Pia, including many public personalities, called casapianos. Casa Pia is Portugal's largest educational institution dedicated to helping youngsters in risk of social exclusion or without parental support. The organisation is composed of ten schools and enrolls approximately 4700 students. In addition to standard schooling, the organisation also provides boarding for children in need. It strives to enable these youngsters to become healthy and successful members of society, by developing intellectual, manual, and physical traits, in an environment promoting spiritual, moral, and religious values. The institution is proud to have had amongst its students many outstanding Portuguese personalities, including politicians, journalists, and artists. A martyrology is a catalogue or list of martyrs and other saints and beati arranged in the calendar order of their anniversaries or feasts. Local martyrologies record exclusively the custom of a particular Church. Local lists were enriched by names borrowed from neighbouring churches.[1] Consolidation occurred, by the combination of several local martyrologies, with or without borrowings from literary sources.
The Canons Regular of St. Augustine are priests who live in community under a rule (Latin: regula and κανών, kanon, in Greek) and are generally organised into religious orders, differing from both secular canons and other forms of religious life, such as clerics regular, designated by a partly similar terminology. As religious communities, they have laybrothers as part of the community.
Clerics regular are clerics (mostly priests) who are members of a religious order under a rule of life (regular). Clerics regular differ from canons regular in that they devote themselves more to pastoral care, in place of an obligation to the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours in common, and have fewer observances in their rule of life.
Lay brother is a largely extinct term referring to religious brothers, particularly in the Catholic Church, who focused upon manual service and secular matters, and were distinguished from choir monks or friars in that they did not pray in choir, and from clerics, in that they were not in possession of (or preparing for) holy orders.[1][2][3][4][5]
In female religious institutes, the equivalent role is the lay sister. Lay brothers were originally created to allow those who were skilled in particular crafts or did not have the required education to study for holy orders to participate in and contribute to the life of a religious order.
Lay brothers were found in many religious orders. Drawn from the working classes, they were pious and hardworking people, who though unable to achieve the education needed to receive holy orders, were still drawn to religious life and were able to contribute to the order through their skills. Some were skilled in artistic handicrafts, others functioned as administrators of the orders' material assets. In particular, the lay brothers of the Cistercians were skilled in agriculture, and have been credited for the tilling of fertile farmland.[1]
Lay sisters were found in most of the orders of women, and their origin, like that of the lay brothers, is to be found in the necessity of providing the choir nuns with more time for the Office and study, as well as creating the opportunity for the illiterate to join the religious life. They, too, wore a habit different from those of the choir sisters, and their required daily prayers consisted of prayers such as the Little Office or a certain number of Paters.[1]
All canons regular are to be distinguished from secular canons who belong to a resident group of priests but who do not take public vows and are not governed in whatever elements of life they lead in common by a historical rule. One obvious place where such groups of priests are required is at a cathedral, where there were many Masses to celebrate and the Divine Office to be prayed together in community.
In modern astrology, Mars is the primary native ruler of the first house. Traditionally however, Mars ruled both the third and tenth houses, and had its joy in the fifth house. While Venus tends to the overall relationship atmosphere, Mars is the passionate impulse and action, the masculine aspect, discipline, willpower and stamina.
Mars rules over Tuesday and in Romance languages the word for Tuesday often resembles Mars (in Romanian, marți, in Spanish, martes, in French, mardi and in Italian "martedì"). The English "Tuesday" is a modernised form of "Tyr's Day", Tyr being the Germanic analogue to Mars. Dante Alighieri associated Mars with the liberal art of arithmetic. In Chinese astrology, Mars is ruled by the element fire, which is passionate, energetic and adventurous.
According to John Clements, the term martial arts itself is derived from an older Latin term meaning "arts of Mars", the Roman god of war, and was used to refer to the combat systems of Europe (European martial arts) as early as the 1550s
A religious congregation is a type of religious institute in the Catholic Church. They are legally distinguished from religious orders – the other major type of religious institute – in that members take simple vows, whereas members of religious orders take solemn vows.
In the Catholic Church, a religious order is a community of consecrated life with members that profess solemn vows. They are classed as a type of religious institute.[1]

Material religion is a framework used by scholars of religion to examine the interaction between religion and material culture. It focuses on the place of objects, images, spaces, and buildings in religious communities. The framework has been promoted by scholars such as Birgit Meyer, Sally Promey, S. Brent Plate, David Morgan, etc.
Physiocracy (French: physiocratie; from the Greek for "government of nature") is an economic theory developed by a group of 18th-century Age of Enlightenment French economists who believed that the wealth of nations derived solely from the value of "land agriculture" or "land development" and that agricultural products should be highly priced.[1] Their theories originated in France and were most popular during the second half of the 18th century. Physiocracy became one of the first well-developed theories of economics.
The Bible typically describes the Heavenly host as being made up of angels, and gives several descriptions of angels in military terms, such as their encampment (Genesis 32:1–2), command structure (Psalms 91:11–12; Matt.13:41; Rev.7:2), and participation in combat (Job 19:12; Rev.12:7). Other passages indicate other entities make up the divine army, namely stars (Judges 5:20, Isaiah 40:26).[1][full citation needed] In Christian theology, the heavenly host participate in the war in Heaven.
The doctrine or theory of immanence holds that the divine encompasses or is manifested in the material world. It is held by some philosophical and metaphysical theories of divine presence. Immanence is usually applied in monotheistic, pantheistic, pandeistic, or panentheistic faiths to suggest that the spiritual world permeates the mundane.
The Dionysian Mysteries were a ritual of ancient Greece and Rome which sometimes used intoxicants and other trance-inducing techniques (like dance and music) to remove inhibitions and social constraints, liberating the individual to return to a natural state.
Religious nationalism can be understood in a number of ways, such as nationalism as a religion itself, a position articulated by Carlton Hayes in his text Nationalism: A Religion, or as the relationship of nationalism to a particular religious belief, dogma, ideology, or affiliation. This relationship can be broken down into two aspects: the politicisation of religion and the influence of religion on politics.
Dioceses ruled by an archbishop are commonly referred to as archdioceses; most are metropolitan sees, being placed at the head of an ecclesiastical province. In the Catholic Church, some are suffragans of a metropolitan see or are directly subject to the Holy See.
The body of light, sometimes called the 'astral body'[a] or the 'subtle body,'[b] is a "quasi material"[1] aspect of the human body, being neither solely physical nor solely spiritual, posited by a number of philosophers, and elaborated on according to various esoteric, occult, and mystical teachings. Other terms used for this body include body of glory,[2] spirit-body, luciform body, augoeides ('radiant body'), astroeides ('starry or sidereal body'), and celestial body.[3] The concept derives from the philosophy of Plato: the word 'astral' means 'of the stars'; thus the astral plane consists of the Seven Heavens of the classical planets. The idea is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife[4] in which the soul's journey or "ascent" is described in such terms as "an ecstatic, mystical or out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveller leaves the physical body and travels in their body of light into 'higher' realms."[5]
The canon law of the Catholic Church (from Latin ius canonicum[1]) is "how the Church organizes and governs herself".[2] It is the system of laws and ecclesiastical legal principles made and enforced by the hierarchical authorities of the Catholic Church to regulate its external organization and government and to order and direct the activities of Catholics toward the mission of the Church.
An institute of consecrated life is an association of faithful in the Catholic Church canonically erected by competent church authorities to enable men or women who publicly profess the evangelical counsels by religious vows or other sacred bonds "through the charity to which these counsels lead to be joined to the Church and its mystery in a special way".[1] They are defined in the 1983 Code of Canon Law under canons 573–730. The Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life has ecclesial oversight of institutes of consecrated life.[2]
In Christianity, the three evangelical counsels, or counsels of perfection, are chastity (NEVER), poverty (or perfect charity), and obedience (RECKLESS ABANDONMENT).[1] As stated by Jesus in the canonical gospels,[2] they are counsels for those who desire to become "perfect" (τελειος, teleios).[3][4] The Catholic Church interprets this to mean that they are not binding upon all, and hence not necessary conditions to attain eternal life (heaven), but that they are "acts of supererogation", "over and above" the minimum stipulated in the biblical commandments.[5][6]
Catholics who have made a public profession to order their lives by the evangelical counsels, and confirmed this by public vows before their competent church authority (the act of religious commitment known as a profession), are recognised as members of the consecrated life.
The Council of Trent (Latin: Concilium Tridentinum), held between 1545 and 1563 in Trent (or Trento), now in northern Italy, was the 19th ecumenical council of the Catholic Church. Prompted by the Protestant Reformation at the time, it has been described as the embodiment of the Counter-Reformation. The Council issued key statements and clarifications of the Church's doctrine and teachings, including scripture, the biblical canon, sacred tradition, original sin, justification, salvation, the sacraments, the Mass, and the veneration of saints[4] and also issued condemnations of what it defined to be heresies committed by proponents of Protestantism. The consequences of the Council were also significant with regard to the Church's liturgy and censorship.
Initiated in part to address the challenges of the Protestant Reformations,[3] the Counter-Reformation was a comprehensive effort arising from the decrees of the Council of Trent. The effort produced apologetic and polemical documents, heresy trials, anti-corruption efforts, spiritual movements, the promotion of new religious orders, and the flourishing of new art and musical styles.
Tradwave is a Catholic artistic style using synthwave and vaporwave art to promote traditional catholicism. Tradwave usually uses traditional catholic paintings, sculptures, or photographs of saints, given with vaporwave effects, often with a bible verse or quote about catholicism. The art usually tries to convey a resurrection of catholic spirituality in the modern atheist world. Figures often depicted in Tradwave art include Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, Ven. Fulton Sheen, Cardinal Robert Sarah, and Mother Angelica.
Tradwave music often takes the form of two main styles. One of them is catholic hymns with vaporwave effects and traditional Vaporwave/Lo-Fi music. It can also have quotes from modern prolific Catholic figures, such as Ven. The other theme is Fulton Sheen and Cardinal Robert Sarah.
Heavenly Virtues: Another phrase to describe this obedience to the voice is “reckless abandon.” It simply means that we let God do what God wants to do through us. It means if He tells us to do something or say something—we do it.
Intercession or intercessory prayer is the act of praying to a deity on behalf of others, or asking a saint in heaven to pray on behalf of oneself or for others. Intercession of the Saints is a Christian doctrine that maintains that saints can intercede for others. To intercede is to go or come between two parties, to plead before one of them on behalf of the other. In ecclesiastical usage both words are taken in the sense of the intervention primarily of Christ, and secondarily of the Blessed Virgin and the angels and saints, on behalf of men.[2] The doctrine is held by the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, the Oriental Orthodox churches , and some Lutherans and Anglicans (chiefly those of Evangelical Catholic or Anglo-Catholic churchmanship, respectively).[3] The practice of asking saints for their intercession can be found in Christian writings from the 3rd century onwards.[4][5][6] Catholic doctrine supports intercessory prayer to saints. This practice is an application of the doctrine of the Communion of saints. Some of the early basis for this was the belief that martyrs passed immediately into the presence of God and could obtain graces and blessings for others, which naturally and immediately led to their direct invocation. A further reinforcement was derived from the cult of the angels which, while pre-Christian in its origin, was heartily embraced by the faithful of the sub-Apostolic age. The doctrine of intercession and invocation was set forth by the Council of Trent, which teaches that "... the saints who reign together with Christ offer up their own prayers to God for men. It is good and useful suppliantly to invoke them, and to have recourse to their prayers, aid, and help for obtaining benefits from God, through His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Who alone is our Redeemer and Saviour".[10] Intercessory prayer to saintly persons who have not yet been beatified can also practiced by individuals, and evidence of miracles produced as a result of such prayer is very commonly produced during the formal process of beatification and canonization.
In short, the gun-toting angel was a multifaceted metaphor. “It undoubtedly also reflected the Catholic Counter-Reformation militaristic rhetoric,” wrote Donahue-Wallace, “which promoted the church as an army and heavenly beings as its soldiers.” These "Harquebusier Angels" or "Arcabuceros" are full-length depictions of winged angels, elaborately dressed, and carrying matchlock guns (harquebuses).
The related term astrolatry usually implies polytheism. In anthropological literature these systems of practice may be referred to as astral cults.
A friar is a member of one of the mendicant orders in the Roman Catholic Church. There are also friars outside of the Roman Catholic Church, such as within the Anglican Communion. The term, first used in the 12th or 13th century, distinguishes the mendicants' itinerant apostolic character, exercised broadly under the jurisdiction of a superior general, from the older monastic orders' allegiance to a single monastery formalized by their vow of stability. A friar may be in holy orders or be a non-ordained brother. The most significant orders of friars are the Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians, and Carmelites.[1]
Romans 8:31; Exploring Biblical Imagery is one of the most important keys to interpreting and gaining a deeper understanding of the Bible. The Bible often communicates truth to us through images and patterns.
Throughout history, armed priests or soldier priests have been recorded. Distinguished from military chaplains, who are non-combatants that provided spiritual guidance to service personnel and associated civilians, these priests took up arms and fought in conflicts as combatants. The term warrior priests or war priests is usually used for armed priests in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and of historical tribes.
Slang: In Romans 8:5-8, Paul presents a compelling contrast between living according to the flesh and living according to the Spirit. The flesh, with its disordered desires and rebellion against God, leads only to spiritual desolation. Martyr, one who voluntarily suffers death rather than deny their religion by words or deeds; such action is afforded special, institutionalized recognition in most major religions of the world. The term may also refer to anyone who sacrifices their life or something of great value for the sake of principle. A religious allusion is a brief reference to a person, event, place, or phrase from religious texts or traditions, without describing them in detail. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Martyr/Romans 8 Allusion Slang.
The Roman Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church, with ancient origins, that lists the martyrs, confessors, virgins, and other saints, each on his or her dies natalis, or birthday into eternal life, as well as major feasts of Our Lord and Our Lady.
The Roman Martyrology is also central to the Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours—a daily set of prayers marking the hours of each day and sanctifying it with worship. During the Office of Readings, specific entries from the martyrology are recited to inform and inspire those in prayer.
Romeu e Julieta (Casapianos Order 1996 Adaptation 18+ Romance Thriller)
While it retains the original Shakespearean dialogue, the film represents the Montagues and the Capulets as warring mafia empires (with legitimate business fronts) and the Capulets were "a Latin family, sort of,"[15] played by Latin-American and Italian actors.[16] It is set in contemporary United States, where swords are replaced by guns[17] (with model names such as "Dagger", "Sword", and "Rapier"), and with a FedEx-style overnight delivery service called "Post Haste".[18] Shakespeare and Impure Aesthetics explores ideas about art implicit in Shakespeare's plays and defines specific Shakespearean aesthetic practices in his use of desire, death and mourning as resources for art. In fiction, a subplot or side story is a secondary strand of the plot that is a supporting side story for any story or for the main plot. Subplots may connect to main plots, in either time and place or thematic significance. Subplots often involve supporting characters, those besides the protagonist or antagonist. Subplots may also intertwine with the main plot at some point in a story.[1]
THE ENCYCLICAL PASSIONARIES ABOUT YHVH CASAPIANOS (MARTYROLOGY BIBLE)
Specifically, the royal psalms deal with the spiritual role of kings in the worship of Yahweh. Aside from that single qualification, there is nothing else which specifically links the ten psalms. Each of the psalms make explicit references to their subject, the king. Royal (messianic) psalms deal with the king as God's anointed or chosen one. Many are prayers for the wisdom of the king, his long life or success in battle. Some are prophetic in nature in that they also point to the ideal future king, the Messiah or the King of kings. A martyrology is a catalogue or list of martyrs and other saints and beati arranged in the calendar order of their anniversaries or feasts. Local martyrologies record exclusively the custom of a particular Church. Local lists were enriched by names borrowed from neighbouring churches.[1] Consolidation occurred, by the combination of several local martyrologies, with or without borrowings from literary sources. Simple martyrologies only enumerate names. Historical martyrologies, also sometimes called passionaries, also include stories or biographical details. (Reckless Abandonment; Mars Shamanism and Casa Pia Wing Transfer Invocation)
The term "revolutionary martyr" usually relates to those dying in revolutionary struggle.[50][51] During the 20th century, the concept was developed in particular in the culture and propaganda of communist or socialist revolutions, although it was and is also used in relation to nationalist revolutions. In the martyrdom narrative of the remembering community, this refusal to comply with the presented demands results in the punishment or execution of an individual by an oppressor. Accordingly, the status of the 'martyr' can be considered a posthumous title as a reward for those who are considered worthy of the concept of martyrdom by the living, regardless of any attempts by the deceased to control how they will be remembered in advance.[1] Insofar, the martyr is a relational figure of a society's boundary work that is produced by collective memory.[2] Originally applied only to those who suffered for their religious beliefs, the term has come to be used in connection with people killed for a political cause. (Armed Friars and The War for Central Africa between Casapianos and The French; The Fall of Yoruba for Bembé; Arcubusier Angels in Africa)
The Metal Ages is a term for the period of human civilization beginning about 6,000 years ago during which metallurgy rapidly advanced, and human populations started using metals such as copper, tin, bronze and finally iron to make tools and weapons. By heating and shaping metals in hot furnaces, humanity also learned to use precious metals such as gold and silver to make intricate ornaments.[1][2] With these technological adaptions, human society became more productive and human settlements became larger and more prosperous, but also more violent.[3] The Metal Ages are divided into three stages: the Copper Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.[1][2] (Calcium Age of Mozambique)
Religious practices in ancient Greece encompassed a collection of beliefs, rituals, and mythology, in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. The application of the modern concept of "religion" to ancient cultures has been questioned as anachronistic.[1] The ancient Greeks did not have a word for 'religion' in the modern sense. Likewise, no Greek writer known to us classifies either the gods or the cult practices into separate 'religions'.[2] Instead, for example, Herodotus speaks of the Hellenes as having "common shrines of the gods and sacrifices, and the same kinds of customs."[3] Various religious festivals were held in ancient Greece. Many were specific only to a particular deity or city-state. Altogether the year in Athens included some 140 days that were religious festivals of some sort, though they varied greatly in importance. (Festival Martyrology)
Gnostic cosmogony generally presents a distinction between a supreme, hidden God and a malevolent lesser divinity (sometimes associated with the biblical deity Yahweh)[1] who is responsible for creating the material universe. Consequently, Gnostics considered material existence flawed or evil, and held the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the hidden divinity, attained via mystical or esoteric insight. Many Gnostic texts deal not in concepts of sin and repentance, but with illusion and enlightenment.[2] Gnostic writings flourished among certain Christian groups in the Mediterranean world around the second century, when the Fathers of the early Church denounced them as heresy.[3]
The original sense of apotheosis relates to religion and is the subject of many works of art. Figuratively "apotheosis" may be used in almost any context for "the deification, glorification, or exaltation of a principle, practice, etc.", so normally attached to an abstraction of some sort.[1] In religion, apotheosis was a feature of many religions in the ancient world, and some that are active today. It requires a belief that there is a possibility of newly-created gods, so a polytheistic belief system. The major modern religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism do not allow for this, though many recognise minor sacred categories such as saints (created by a process called canonization). A mural crown (Latin: corona muralis) is a crown or headpiece representing city walls, towers, or fortresses. In classical antiquity, it was an emblem of tutelary deities who watched over a city, and among the Romans a military decoration. Later the mural crown developed into a symbol of European heraldry, mostly for cities and towns, and in the 19th and 20th centuries was used in some republican heraldry. (Mural Crown Wing Transfer)
In religious studies, an ethnic religion is a religion or belief associated with notions of heredity and a particular ethnic group. (CHAMA ROXA)
An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the mind normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. Although illusions distort the human perception of reality, they are generally shared by most people.[1] (Sensory Process Sensitivity)
Capricornus is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was also one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Claudius Ptolemy. Its old astronomical symbol is  (♑︎). Under its modern boundaries it is bordered by Aquila, Sagittarius, Microscopium, Piscis Austrinus, and Aquarius. The constellation is located in an area of sky called the Sea or the Water, consisting of many water-related constellations such as Aquarius, Pisces and Eridanus. It is the smallest constellation in the zodiac. (Men)
Leo Minor is a small and faint constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. Its name is Latin for "the smaller lion", in contrast to Leo, the larger lion. It lies between the larger and more recognizable Ursa Major to the north and Leo to the south. Leo Minor was not regarded as a separate constellation by classical astronomers; it was designated by Johannes Hevelius in 1687.[2] (Women)
Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music that originated in the late 1970s.[4][5] Initially, dancehall was a more sparse version of reggae than the roots style, which had dominated much of the 1970s.[6][7] In the mid-1980s, digital instrumentation became more prevalent, changing the sound considerably, with digital dancehall (or "ragga") becoming increasingly characterized by faster rhythms. Key elements of dancehall music include its extensive use of Jamaican Patois rather than Jamaican standard English and a focus on the track instrumentals (or "riddims"). Dancehall saw initial mainstream success in Jamaica in the 1980s, and by the 1990s, it became increasingly popular in Jamaican diaspora communities. In the 2000s, dancehall experienced worldwide mainstream success, and by the 2010s, it began to heavily influence the work of established Western artists and producers, which has helped to further bring the genre into the Western music mainstream.[8][9][10] (DOS SANTOS was this first generation of Dancehall Consumers)
5 SENSES CITY MARTYROLOGY BIBLE: LIGA CASAPIANOS (GOVERNMENT)
A congress is a formal meeting of the representatives of different countries, constituent states, organizations, trade unions, political parties, or other groups.[1] The term originated in Late Middle English to denote an encounter (meeting of adversaries) during battle, from the Latin congressus.
A federation (also called a federal state) is an entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing provinces, states, or other regions under a federal government (federalism). In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision, neither by the component states nor the federal political body without constitutional amendment.
The League of Corinth, also referred to as the Hellenic League (Greek: κοινὸν τῶν Ἑλλήνων, koinòn tõn Hellḗnōn;[a] or simply οἱ Ἕλληνες, the Héllēnes),[3] was a federation of Greek states created by Philip II[4] in 338–337 BC. The League was created in order to unify Greek military forces under Macedonian leadership (hegemony) in their combined conquest of the Persian Achaemenid Empire.[5][6][7]
The League was governed by the Hegemon (leader)[21][22][23] (strategos autokrator[24][25] in a military context),[26] the council (Synedrion),[27] and the judges (Dikastai). Delegates of the member-states (Synedroi) were responsible for administering the common affairs of the League. They were summoned and presided over by a committee of presiding officers (Proedroi), chosen by lot in time of peace, and by the Hegemon in time of war.[19] Decrees of the league were issued in Corinth, Athens, Delphi, Olympia and Pydna.[28] The League maintained an army levied from member states in approximate proportion to their size, while Philip established Hellenic garrisons (commanded by phrourarchs, or garrison commanders) in Corinth, Thebes, Pydna[29] and Ambracia.
Heortology or eortology is a science that deals with the origin and development of religious festivals,[1] and more specifically the study of the history and criticism of liturgical calendars and martyrologies*.

Love your Vlad headcanons. Do you have some of your Danny from Familiar as well? Big fan btw
Thank you! Unfortunately I don’t have many headcanons for Danny in general, or even from Familiar, except for notes and stuff. Let me see what I can dig up (without spoiling any plot):
🌿 Danny needs to be exposed to the natural world/frequencies to balance his spectral energy. Because he’s related to water (ice specter), he thrives on cool, water-based foods and environments; fish, hydrating fruits like melons and citrus, lakes, clouds, mist, snow, rain, etc.
📅 Danny was born in August of 1990. He was 14 at the time of his accident (2004). He is 15 at the time of the story, which takes place in 2005.
♌ For those who put any stock into astrology, Danny is a Leo (July 23 - August 22). It would make sense canonically since he was 14 and a high school freshman, meaning his birthday likely falls during the summer months. (I was also born in the summer, so I was always one year younger than most of my friends. It didn’t mean I was smarter or anything.) Of the summer signs—Gemini, Cancer, Leo—Danny strikes me as more of a Leo.
🎵 Danny is a typical American teen, and his music tastes lean toward rock bands like Green Day and Blink 182, pop punk, alternative, nu metal, and occasionally heavier stuff like System of a Down and Nine Inch Nails. Basically whatever can be heard on the radio in the 90s and early 00s.
🤬 Most of Danny’s anger has run out by the time he lands on Vlad’s doorstep in the first chapter. Grief and depression have sapped away his spark, leaving him at rock bottom. This is the main reason why Familiar Danny is so different from his canon personality (combative, lippy, defensive, all pretty typical teenager qualities). We never really got to witness much of his behavior after the accident in TUE, except for the scene of him being ferried to Vlad’s mansion and gazing morosely at the photo of his family and friends, unresponsive to the kind hand Vlad put on his shoulder. I suppose this is my way of filling in these missing and personally fascinating scenes.
That pretty much all I've got (or can share) at the moment. Like I said, I'm trying not to stray too far from canon as far as Danny's personality and backstory goes. Nevertheless, I hope you at least found some of this stuff interesting!

Vivienne’s father, a well-known mystery novelist was left to care for baby Vivienne and her elder brother. James struggled to care for or even look at Vivienne, seeing her as a constant reminder of his beloved wife’s death. He remained close with his son, however.
When Vivienne was 11, her brother, Nicky, suffered from septic shock following an appendectomy. He passes away soon after, leaving vivienne and her father the only ones remaining. The death of his son broke James. He became volatile and abusive, belittling or ignoring Vivienne often.
Following her graduation, Vivienne was able to leave her father’s house, moving to Boston to attend Harvard. She lived with her Aunt, who she is close to and studied Biochemistry. She then completed medical school at Harvard.
At 26, she entered Seattle Grace’s internship program. She was placed alongside Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, George O’Malley and, later, Alex Karev.

you ask for pre-1990 and this was Nov 89 so I hope it counts !! could you do ineffables + the fall of the Berlin Wall ? pretty please
AN ~ YES I CAN!! *O* this is just a little one, inspired by a story told to me when I was there once, by a guide who had grown up literally down the road from where his country was divided.
prompt me: ineffables + historical settings
-
Did I hear that right?
Aziraphale glanced up from his copy of Die Hund der Baskervilles. He frowned. He was sure he’d just heard -
There was a commotion in the hall. Perhaps they’d heard the same thing too.
(They had. And it had been heard across the nation that was soon to become one again.)
Aziraphale pulled up the window of his flat and stuck his head outside. The commotion was spreading with no clear start. Some people were shouting and running. Others peeked out of their blinds or crept hesitantly into the street. One incredibly cheerful soul dialed his cassette player up and blasted Something’s Got A Hold Of My Heart. He saw it; he heard it; most of all he felt it. It had been drowned out by sorrow, anguish, fear for so long and that was still there but heavens - what a swelling of love.
“Herr Fell!” cried one of his neighbours, waving him down. “Auf geht’s!” ["Mr Fell, let's go!]
The sense of love only increased as Aziraphale joined the crowd of people pushing toward the wall. Usually he wasn’t one for such a crush but he could scarcely find it in him to balk or to panic.
As fast as it had gone up - faster, even, in some ways - the Wall was down. The most daring humans breached into No Mans’ Land and nothing happened, and then more and more of them went on ahead. Ramshackle weapons turned to plowshares and the concrete shattered under the force of thousands of humans simply refusing to let it stand. Families who hadn’t seen each other in years, perhaps even had never seen each other, embraced like they would never let go again. Complete strangers collapsed into each others’ arms, crying. The sheer power of it, the euphoria of it seeping into every pore of him, it made him want to weep.
Instead, he miracled himself a basket of oranges. He passed them to people who passed them to people who hadn’t tasted such delight in decades. He filled the basket again and a third time until everything around him smelt like citrus and beer and love, love, love. He took a deep breath of it, wondering who could possibly have been responsible for such a miracle.
It was at that moment, of course, a familiar shock of red alighted at the top of the wall. Crowley clambered up onto the teetering top and steadied himself, already hand in hand with the next person he was pulling up. He beamed behind dark glasses and it was such a glorious sight Aziraphale felt his heart leap into his throat. He set aside the oranges, and pressed his way forward to help.
“Did your lot have something to do with this?” Crowley asked, having to yell over the din of cheering and crying and music even as Aziraphale got close enough to clasp his hand.
“Not a bar of it!” Aziraphale yelled back, even as he pulled Crowley down from the wall. He was pressed close in the crowd - almost close enough to hear Aziraphale’s thundering heart, even in the noise. He hadn’t let go of his arm or his jacket yet. He barely noticed he was still holding them. The both of them were too distracted, looking all around them at love.

Fandom Lexicon: L
Moving right along, today we have a modest-sized Lexicon addition – entries beginning with the letter L! With this post, we cross more than half of all entries posted – the alphabet entries skew earlier in the alphabet – but we’re still a week off from being halfway through the alphabet.
Check out the entire Lexicon posted to date!
See a mistake? Have an addition to make? LET US KNOW!

Talk Italian agriculture to me.
Yessssss! :D
First of all, Italy is super big on agriculture, and why are we not talking more about that in general in the fandom? Like, sure, other nations wanted the Italian land for the heritage and Rome, but like, it also has so amazing fertile soil. Italian peninsula is basically a pantry, and especially countries with difficulties feeding their people wanted that *cough* Spain, Austria, France *cough*. And because of the Roman heritage, they had really good cultivation systems. :o
Putting the more historical things aside, Italian agriculture is split in two, more or less, following the split between North and South Italy, so even with agriculture, both our Italys have their own preferences (and as usual, The South is getting the short end of the stick). North is corn, beans, meat, dairy, and a lot of various items, the South is citrus fruits and wheat – especially citrus fruits. A lot of the initiatives to support agriculture throught the last 100 or so years have favoured the Northern parts of Italy, with bigger, wealthier farms, instead of the smaller Southern farms. All of Italy is big on olives and olive oil (as Spain can attest to), and wine. They're the biggest producers of wine in the world.
Speaking of which, I have no mouth, and I must (arti-)choke. I'm not sorry for that horrible pun. Italy is the biggest producer of artichokes in the world, the only other nation getting close is Egypt. Spain is at a third place, but only has an output a little over half of Italy. As far as I know, it's also used in a lot of Italian food (artichokes are delicious).
Apparently, most agriculture in Italy is actually very local and not owned by a few companies at the top (that's one of the most wrong representations in A Job Interview). They're family operated, owned and small. A single company with a majority hold on the food industry in Italy is probably insane and unrealistic. However, it is true that most of the Italian agricultural market is domestic, and doesn't have much export, apart from choice items (like popular cheeses and wines). One of the major forms of tourism in South Italy is agroturismo, as in, visiting and sleeping at a farm in Italy as a tourist. I want to try that.
One of the really big things I probably can't fit into my story is the specialisations of food in Italy, like regional cheeses, meats, wines, and so on. These regional items are one of the biggest Italian exports too, and another reason why a large amount of Italian farms are family operated. Adjacent to agricultural production, there's also heavy equipment manufacturing, commonly known as tractors and that sort of thing. Ferrari, Fiat, and Lamborghini all started out making tractors and other agricultural machinery.
Now, there's actually a bit more history I want to mention, but this is recent history. After WW2, Italy had a flourishing renewal in its agriculture, which lasted until the 1980's, due to some changes from the EEC. It's kind of difficult to really explain the entirety of everything happening between the 1960's to the 1990's, because there's so many different things influencing Italy at this time, and different areas (again with the North-South divide) were affected in different ways at different times. All of this doesn't really have to do with the agriculture sector directly, but it would affect it. The horrible highlights are a recession, The Years of Lead, and corruption. The happy highlights are the general economic boom (North and Central Italy in the 50's and 60's, South in the 70's and 80's), including il Sorpasso in 1987, and the beginning of a modernisation of the South.
One final thing, more about the actual fanfic I did this research for. It takes place in 2007, and this actually matters a lot to the plot. :'D
#Somehow this is still#hetalia#agriculture#Thank you for the ask! <3#I loved getting to compile all the info in my brain#StarsMadeInHeaven#I haven't gone into the fishing industry much#Maybe I should write something about fishing to indulge researching the fishing industry

Of all the head canons I've come up with for my fics I think I finally outdid myself. I came up with a list of everyone's signature scents.
Guillermo: Spice Blend, Dior. In the past he didn't have the money to indulge in things like this, but now that he does, Guillermo goes straight to the private collection. Warm, fresh, spicy, soft. Spice Blend is masculine and confident, but it also smells like a great hug.
Nandor: Kredo, Nishane. Much like Nandor, the cardamom and oud tell a loud and colorful story. But pay closer attention to the notes underneath: playful pink pepper, soft suede and delicate floral osmanthus. Only then to you really get to really know him.
Nadja: Shalimar, Guerlain. For many, it takes time to appreciate Shalimar. Initially off-putting to those who might not be familiar with her— animalic, tough, leathery— the beauty just beneath the surface is astounding and memorable. It is complex but worth getting to know. Like Nadja.
Laszlo: Chergui, Serge Lutens. Tobacco, honey, amber and hay. Laszlo was never much of an equestrian but the scent reminds him of the times he spent hiding in horse stables near Grasmere when he was supposed to be courting that duchess his father kept pushing on him. Having no idea he'd soon meet Nadja, he ran away to the stables and drowned his sorrows in honey wine and stablehands.
The Guide: Feminite du Bois, Shiseido. Woody, spicy, feminine, complex. A scent for a woman who knows herself. The Guide has several bottles of the original from the 1990s that are being preserved in a special vault. The newest reformulation under Serge Lutens is a travesty and she will tell you all about it. At length.
Abraham van Helsing: Musc Ravageur, Frederic Malle. Warm, spicy and exuding an intoxicating musk, this aptly-named fragrance will lure your forbidden lover to you no matter how sour the smells of the docks at night.
Colin Robinson (adult): Mister Hijinks. It's a cologne/aftershave mix and he found it in the bathroom at work. Described by many as a disgusting putrified smell, like a snake in heat, Colin thinks it's nice.
Quinn: Marescialla, Santa Maria Novella. Woody and earthy, this smells like a bygone era. Countess D’Aumont, the wife of a French marshall, used a powdered version to perfume her gloves. Her interest in alchemy aroused suspicion of witchcraft and she was burnt at the stake. Quinn was a young alchemist at the time and she wears it as a homage... and a fond remembrance.
Tessa: Velvet Orchid, Tom Ford. Rum, orchid, honey, vanilla and myrrh. What's not to love? Just because she has vampire semen keeping her young doesn't mean she wants to fall behind on the latest trends. She didn't become a witch to linger in the past. Tessa keeps one foot in the supernatural world and the other in Sephora.
Derek: 1 Million, Paco Rabanne. Derek bought it without even smelling it because the bottle looks like a gold bar and that's fancy. Once he got back to his place and tried it out... he liked it! There's a lot of cinnamon, some citrus and woods... he's not sure why but he feels confident wearing it and that's what matters.
Thomas: Paris – Édimbourg, Chanel. Juniper, cypress, cedar, vetiver, lavender. Thomas found it in a male victim's suitcase two years ago. His master didn't want it— Nigel called it "department store rubbish"— but to Thomas it smells like wide open spaces and freedom. The bottle ran out just before the familiar fights and he bought a new one with the money Guillermo gave him.
Dr. Sharon: Gris Dior, Dior. Designed as an embodiment of the color gray, it's actually quite nice.

keep feelin’ fascination
@girlwiththegreenhat responded to the previous post:
That’s along the lines of what I think when I go through old photos: What was so interesting about this moment that it had to be captured? For instance, I have this really nice 1990s photo of a corner of someone’s pristine yard with a big black garbage bag front and center, like someone was really proud they raked the lawn and cleaned up the flowerbed so well. And you are also left wondering who these people are/were and what made up their lives.
I only have a little useful information about that serviceman; definitely not his name but he was seemingly a member of the Military Police and he was stationed 2-3 places that I have pictures of. I can tell you that he was married and had a daughter.
I can also tell you what kind of fruit that was in the previous photo: a ponderosa lemon. And that the buddy that took the picture switched places with him.
Lemons weren’t the only citrus he fondled. (Those are pomelos.)
I can show you his buddies.
And that his group went to South Beach in Miami, Florida.

How to make whitening cream for business?
Even though being outside in the sun feels good, it can be very bad for your face. Even though skin cancer is a big health concern, the sun can also make your skin darker or give you dark spots. Best of all, you probably already have everything you need to make one in your home. If your skin is oily, try making a simple skin whitening cream with lemons. If your skin is dry, try nuts.
You can't stress enough how important it is to take care of your face. It's the biggest organ in the body and the first line of defense against sickness and infection. So, if you see spots, dark spots, or other problems with the color of your skin, you should do what you can to stop further damage. The good news is that you can fix many color issues on your own. This piece will talk about eight things you can do at home to lighten your skin and get rid of any dark spots or spots that don't look good.
Whiten the Skin with Citrus Extracts
Lemon juice and orange peels can be used to naturally lighten the face. They have a lot of vitamin C, which is important for making the collagen fibers for face whitening creams that keep your skin tight and help it stay strong. When put on the skin, vitamin C has been shown to slow down melanocytes that are working too fast. These are the cells in the lower layers of the skin that make melanin, which makes the skin "tan" or get darker.
Kojic Acid
kojic acid is a white, crystalline powder that comes from a fungus in Asia. It has been used in Japan for a long time as a natural alternative to hydroquinone and is very good at lightening dark spots on the face. The American Academy of Dermatologists says that clinical tests have shown that kojic acid can lessen hyperpigmentation. It works by stopping tyrosinase, the protein that makes melanin, from doing its job. It also works as an antioxidant and is good for skin that has been hurt by the sun or is sensitive.
Licorice Extract
In Chinese medicine, the juice made from the roots of the licorice plant has been used for a long time to treat all kinds of skin problems. In the early 1990s, Japanese scientists found the compound glabridin in licorice. This compound blocks UVA and UVB rays and makes the skin whiter and brighter.
A clinical study that was released in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that glabridin could block the enzyme tyrosinase, which makes melanin, by up to 50% without hurting skin cells. Licorice extract is good for treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which includes dark spots. It can use to reverse the damage that cause by acne scars, and it has anti-inflammatory qualities that help soothe the skin and reduce redness.
Extract of Bearberry
This part of the plant comes from the leaves instead of the fruit. Bearberry, also called bear grape, is an astringent that uses in many beauty products. It includes Alpha arbutin, which is known to lighten the skin quickly.
It shows that arbutin can reduce freckles, dark spots, and other skin problems. A study done by the drug company Pentapharm found that 1% Alpha arbutin had a "skin-lightening effect" that was even better than the same dose of hydroquinone.
Bearberry extract is also helpful because it includes filters that protect against the sun. These filters may help reduce the amount of "tanning" after being in the sun, which can slow or even reverse signs of aging on the skin.
The Gooseberry (Phyllanthus Emblica).
The extract from this plant is full of Vitamin C and has antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities. Emblica extract keeps the skin from getting damaged by the sun and helps remove discoloration.
Researchers have found that Emblica protects the skin from oxidative stress, reduces wrinkles, controls the production of melanin, and helps the skin keep its natural wetness.
The Gigawhite
Gigawhite is a brightener for the face that has a patent and works well to treat dark spots and melasma. It comes from seven Swiss mountain plants that grow in an organic way. These plants include peppermint, common mallow, and primula (cowslip).
Extract the White Mulberry
The white mulberry tree (Morus alba) is from China and has been found to be good for your health in many ways. It can also help whiten the face and protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Niacinamide, another name for vitamin B3, stops the production of melanin, a pigment. When added to face creams, it also works well to lighten the skin. When put on the skin, vitamin B helps it keep water. Water makes it feel softer and smoother and reduces fine lines.
Most things you can buy online will have a full list of the ingredients to take a quick look at it before you buy. The ingredients you choose will, of course, rely on what you want to happen.
Then after making, the most important thing is that how to pack your cream? so I suggested you to use customize boxes for cream which play an important role in protecting as well as promoting your product.
So, There are a lot of man-made chemicals in the face brightening creams that you can buy. Even though they are made with approved formulas. They still have many stabilizers and chemicals we don't want. So, in this post, we'll look at some ideas you can use to make your own skin-brightening cream at home.

What is OG Weed- The Best OG Weed Strains
OG is a significant term used in both recreational and medical marijuana communities. You'll find it matched toward the start or end of a strain name. Despite its appearance as a simple abbreviation, this two-letter term has a complicated and controversial history.
For some marijuana fans, OG Kush lives as the godfather parent of this family, since numerous OG strains are reproduced from its genetics. In any case, each strain deserves respect in its own right.
The term "OG" originates from many stories, one of which is Ocean Grown. It is a kind of marijuana strain that is supposed to be grown outdoors, with California coastal roots.
One more would be that it stemmed from the term "Original Gangster," advocated and achieved by Los Angeles hip-bounce specialists like Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and more in the last part of the 1980s or mid-1990s.
Despite the numerous speculations, the top and best classification of this is, in fact, the OG Kush, which was first grown for quite some time during the 1990s.
OG strains are cannabis strains that originated in California. This Californian root gave OG strains the power, smell, and taste that are particular to different strains; thus the term "Ocean Grown."
From here, numerous cannabis strains have been carried to market with various mixes from various sativa and indica-dominant strain categories.
Top OG Strains
You'll come across a wide range of varieties in the cannabis neighborhood, and you may believe that separating these weed strains is difficult, if not impossible. Nonetheless, with regard to the best and most loved OG strains, these OG strains are what many think of as the best.
OG Kush
The OG Kush, known as one of the fathers of the OG strains, is one of our favorites. The explanations behind it being the best change, however, primarily highlight the high THC content of the strain and how it assists users and smokers with adapting to pressure and pain.
Its prevalence rose when its parents, the Chemdawg and the Hindu Kush, were crossed and consolidated. It has the equivalent of a natural scent with inconspicuous citrus notes that radiate a reviving sprinkle of pine and lemon. After use, individuals report feeling amiable, hungry, and giggly.
This strain is generally prescribed to medical users or to people who are encountering mild to severe pain, muscle spasms, and other comparable circumstances.
Tahoe OG
Tahoe OG is the most prominent OG Kush phenotype, meaning it came straight from the seeds of the parent strain; it's anything but a hybrid of OG Kush and something different.
It's treated by many individuals as one of the most mind-blowing since it acts quicker than most other OG strains. It will not only provide you with the calming and relaxing effects you seek, but it will also assist you in starting to sleep!
