A Monday

Five Hargreeves x Fem!reader

Warnings: none

6:00 AM: The alarm clock blared, rousing Five Hargreeves from his sleep. He groaned, reaching over to silence it. Beside him, Y/n stirred, blinking awake.

"Morning already?" Y/n mumbled, her voice thick with sleep.

"Unfortunately," Five said with a sigh. He rolled out of bed, rubbing his eyes. "Let’s get this day started."

Y/n stretched and followed him, the couple moving like a well-practiced team. Today was a Monday, and they had a busy schedule ahead.

6:30 AM: The kitchen was a scene of organized chaos. Maddie, their six-year-old daughter, was at the table with her morning cereal, giggling as she made her spoon float in the air.

"Maddie, remember what we said about using your powers at the table," Five said, pouring coffee into two mugs.

"I know, Daddy," Maddie said, reluctantly lowering her spoon.

"Where’s Milo?" Y/n asked, glancing around.

"I’ve got him," Five replied, lifting their two-year-old son from his high chair. Milo babbled happily, smearing oatmeal on his face with a chubby hand.

"Oatmeal artist in the making," Y/n said, smiling as she wiped Milo’s face. "What do you have planned for today, Five?"

"Meetings at the CIA office," Five said, making a face. "But I'll try to be home early."

"Good luck," Y/n said, giving him a sympathetic look. "I’ve got a busy day at the bookstore too."

7:30 AM: Five was dressed in his usual sharp attire, adjusting his tie in the hallway mirror. Maddie was in her school uniform, her backpack already slung over one shoulder.

"Ready for school, superstar?" Five asked, smiling at Maddie.

"Yep! We’re learning about space today!" Maddie said excitedly.

"A future astronaut," Y/n said proudly, planting a kiss on Maddie’s head.

"Where’s my kiss?" Five teased, leaning towards Maddie.

"Here you go, Daddy!" Maddie said, giving him a peck on the cheek. "And don’t forget to pick me up after school!"

"Wouldn’t dream of it," Five said.

Y/n handed Milo to Five and pulled Maddie into a hug. "Be good at school and remember to only use your powers in an emergency."

"I will, Mommy," Maddie promised.

8:00 AM: The family loaded into the car, Five driving with Maddie in the back and Milo in his car seat.

"Time to drop Maddie off at school and then Milo at daycare," Five said, checking his watch.

"And then us to work," Y/n added, tapping her fingers on the dashboard.

"Can we listen to the space song?" Maddie asked, bouncing in her seat.

"Of course," Y/n said, turning on the radio to Maddie’s favorite song about space exploration. Maddie sang along happily, her enthusiasm infectious.

9:00 AM: Five dropped Maddie off at her elementary school. "See you later, alligator," he said, waving as she skipped into the building.

"After a while, crocodile!" Maddie called back, laughing.

Next stop was Milo’s daycare. "Be good, little man," Five said, handing Milo over to the caregiver.

"Daddy will be back soon," Five said, waving goodbye to Milo.

10:00 AM: Five and Y/n arrived at their respective workplaces. Five at the CIA office, a day full of meetings ahead, and Y/n at her cozy bookstore around the corner, where she was greeted by the comforting smell of books and coffee.

12:00 PM: At the CIA office, Five sat through another tedious meeting. His mind wandered to his family, and he found himself doodling a picture of Y/n, Maddie, and Milo in the margins of his notes.

"Five, are you paying attention?" his boss asked.

"Of course," Five replied smoothly, hiding his drawing. "We’re discussing the activities of the cult right?"

1:00 PM: Lunchtime at the bookstore was a welcome break for Y/n. She munched on her sandwich, glancing through the children’s section to find a new book for Maddie. A colorful story about a magical forest caught her eye.

"Perfect," she murmured, adding it to her pile. "Maddie will love this."

3:00 PM: Five wrapped up his meetings and made his way back to the school to pick up Maddie. She ran to him with her usual exuberance.

"Daddy! I drew a picture of a rocket ship!" Maddie said, waving her drawing.

"Looks amazing!" Five said, admiring her artwork. "Let’s go get Milo and head home."

4:00 PM: At the daycare, Milo was ready to go, reaching out to Five with a big smile. "Da-da!" he babbled.

"Hi, buddy," Five said, lifting him into his arms. "Let’s go home."

5:00 PM: Back at home, Y/n arrived shortly after them. The family reunited in the living room, surrounded by the comfortable chaos of toys and laughter.

"Dinner time!" Y/n announced, heading to the kitchen.

Five played with the kids in the living room, Milo attempting to stack blocks while Maddie floated a toy spaceship above their heads.

"Mission control to astronaut Maddie, come in," Five said, holding up a toy walkie-talkie.

"Astronaut Maddie here," Maddie replied, giggling. "We’re ready for lift-off!"

6:30 PM: Dinner was a lively affair. Maddie chattered about her day at school, while Milo attempted to feed himself, making more of a mess than anything.

"You’re wearing more spaghetti than you’re eating," Five said, laughing as he wiped Milo’s face.

"Maddie, tell your mom about your space project," Five prompted, serving another helping of spaghetti.

"I made a model of the solar system!" Maddie said proudly. "It’s got all the planets and even an asteroid belt."

"I can’t wait to see it," Y/n said, beaming at her.

8:00 PM: Bedtime routines began. Y/n read Maddie another chapter from her new book, while Five rocked Milo to sleep, humming softly.

"Goodnight, sweetheart," Y/n said, kissing Maddie’s forehead.

"Night, Mommy" Maddie said, snuggling into her bed.

Five placed Milo in his crib, turning on the nightlight shaped like a moon. "Sleep tight, little man," he whispered.

9:00 PM: The house quieted down. Five and Y/n settled on the couch, sharing a bowl of popcorn and watching a movie. They leaned into each other, enjoying the rare peaceful moment.

"Today was a good day," Y/n said, her head on Five’s shoulder.

"Every day with you and the kids is a good day," Five replied, kissing the top of her head.

"Even Mondays?" Y/n teased.

"Especially Mondays," Five said, squeezing her hand.

A Look Into All For One's Daily Routine (PRE-potato)

7:00 AM - Rise and shine, for the world trembles at the mere thought of my awakening. 7:10 AM - Morning cuddles and kisses with my precious wife, Inko and indirectly praising her for surviving another night beside the most feared villain-turned-family-man. 7:45 AM – Wake my baby son up, then have a villainous breakfast, consisting of coffee, eggs, waffles, and a side of intimidation. 8:15 AM - Conduct a nefarious board meeting to discuss evil plans for the day. Check on my ‘side businesses’ and make sure I’m ‘making’ money. 9:00 AM - Meet with underworld contacts. Expand my influence and power. Remind them who’s boss. 10:00 AM - Time for some "me" time. Attend an appointment with my personal tailor to ensure my villainous attire strikes fear into the hearts of heroes. A scheduled manicure is included every Wednesday. 10:45AM - Wreak minor havoc upon the city. A villain's work is never done and sometimes the blond idiot stops by. It's all about balance, you see. 12:00 PM - Lunch break: Consume the souls of those who dare oppose me. Wine and steak are the usual. Depends on my mood. 12:30 PM: While I’m having lunch, I usually log into my social media and contribute to All Might hate pages. The villain subreddit is my go-to. Update my Demon King fanfiction while I’m at it. (This entry is completely satire) 1:00 PM - Plotting session: Strategize with Tomura on how to conquer the world then make Kurogiri do all the work and babysit him. 2:30 PM - Business calls. Time to collect those debts and remind people why they shouldn't cross me. A few well-placed threats should do the trick. 3:00 PM - Pick up some "unfortunate souls" from the streets. Gotta keep the operation running smoothly. While I’m at it, I’ll supervise the training of Tomura and young villains-in-training. 4:30 PM - Time to head home. Can't wait to see Inko and my beloved son, Izu-baby. 6:00 PM - Dinner with the family. Nothing beats Inko's cooking, except maybe her smile. 7:00 PM - Quality time with Izuku: Help him with his homework, impart wisdom about the ways of the world, and play hero-villain with him. 9:00 PM - Bedtime routine and tuck my cute son into bed. Goodnight, little one. Daddy's gonna (hopefully) kill All Might tomorrow. 9:30 PM - Quality time with Inko. Sometimes the best evil plots are hatched ‘between the sheets’. 11:00 PM - Prepare for bed: Ensure all evil plans are in motion for the following day and that my reign of terror will continue unabated. Sometimes a book about totalitarianism and tyranny with a glass a wine is included. 11:30 PM – Time for a goodnight sleep. I need my beauty sleep to maintain this dashing appearance. Tomorrow, the world will tremble at my might once again.

Note: Schedule subject to change depending on hero interference, unforeseen villainous schemes, 'business trips' and holidays/weekends.

Please tell me what you think I had so much fun making this 😂😂😂😂😂 I might make a POST-potato schedule. I love this man so much can you tell.

😂 I'm laughing because honestly this very much seems like his schedule. Doing both evil stuff while also being dad for one at the same time is how he rolls. Like awww he loves his famil- Wait he picking up ORPHANS AND PLANNING PEOPLE DEMISE?

LOL, I need more of a Day in the Life of a Demon Lord. Because this is great also seems Inko gets quite a bit of attention at night. Though we can already see he definitely not going to see All Might coming when he comes with a Detroit smash.

But man I love how casual he is about his appearance and his affection for his family being quite wholesome. While also still doing evil things, you anon get it.

Life in the Limelight

Chapter 4

Y/N POV

Friday night 10 PM

I’ve already sent my security home for the night and am sitting at my kitchen table having a glass of white wine when my phone rings. I look down to see the name Spencer Reid. I answer the call, “Hello Spencer. What’s up?”

“Hi, Y/N uh nothings up per se, but I was calling to tell you that I, uh, I can make our brunch thing tomorrow if you were still up for it?”

“Still up for it? Absolutely! I mean did everything work out with work?”

“Oh yeah we found them or her rather.”

“Wow a woman? I would have never guessed that.”

“Well actually although women serial killers aren’t common they do make up about 15% of serial killers. Sorry you did not want to know that.”

“No it’s alright! That was an interesting fact. What time did we say for tomorrow again? Was it 1:00?”

“No, it was 12:30. Sorry not trying to correct you but I have an eidetic memory so I can remember pretty much everything I read.”

“Woah, that is so cool. So like you only have to read chapters once and you have them memorized?”

“Yeah, pretty much.”

“That’s gotta be helpful on tests.”

“Oh it is. I mean I have three Ph. D.s and a few Masters and a couple of B.A.s”

“Oh, that’s a lot. So you’re like really freaking smart.”

“I like to think so, but that makes me sound arrogant.”

“No it doesn’t! Not when someone else is asking you. Anyways, I’m going to head to bed because I think I’ve had one too many glasses of wine to be talking to an extremely handsome guy on the phone.”

“Oh, ok yeah I will see you tomorrow. Bye.”

“Bye Spencer.” Once I hung up I realized what I said and froze for a moment. I cannot believe I said that. I finished my glass of wine and went to bed.

NEXT MORNING

I woke up at 6:30 Saturday morning and got a little excited about my brunch with Spencer today. Instead I go get ready to work out for today to get my blood flowing. I need to keep working my cardio for my upcoming tour so I start on the treadmill. After I run on the treadmill for a couple of hours I decide to hit the weights. Not much weight but many repetitions. I checked the time after I finished that and it was 9:00. Once I took a shower and only got halfway dressed for the day I went back down to my kitchen. Since it is close to my brunch, I decide just to get a cup of coffee and eat some fruit. When I was done with that I sat and relaxed for a while on my couch. I started to watch some TV. I don’t get to do that often so I took advantage of the down time while I had it. When I checked the time it was 11:00 and I figured I better get ready if I wanted to be on time. Looking through my closet, I decided to wear a black skirt with a white grid on it. I also wore a white sweater; not anything heavy, but something longsleeved that’s light. That last couple parts of my outfit should be the easiest. For my shoes I decide on a black platform that are five inches tall and a simple black handbag big enough to put my cell phone and some cash in. 

At about 12:00 I started to head to the restaurant. I leave out the back way and drove myself to the restaurant. When I get there, I park on the side and call my friend Bella who owns the restaurant. “Hey, Y/N. What’s up?”

“Oh nothing much. I was hoping that you could let me in the back so I didn’t have to deal with people staring at me?”

“Oh yeah yeah I got you. Give me a second.” After waiting just for a couple of minutes she opens the door and pops her head out. “Hey get on in here.”

I follow her in through the door, “So, I’m actually meeting someone here and I was hoping you could tell your staff to escort him to my private table? I just don’t want to make a huge commotion.”

Bella smiles at me, “You have a date don’t you!”

I shush her, “Be quiet! I don’t want anyone to know I’m here.”

“That’s not a no,” she sings quietly. 

“Ok, yes I am meeting a man here, but no it’s not a date. It’s merely brunch or more so lunch.”

“But you want it to be a date.”

“Yes, Bella, I would like it to be a date. This one is different! He doesn’t even know who I am! He came up to me at a coffee shop and we talked for an hour about the book I was reading, the book he is reading, the books we have read and want to read. Not once did he say ‘Can I get an autograph?’ or ‘Oh my got you’re global superstart Y/F/N!’ he just spoke with me like I was a normal person.”

Bella thought for a moment, “What happens when he does find out though?”

I sighed, “That’s why I’m going to tell him here and now; as long as I don’t chicken out.” Bella laughed at that, “Hey don’t laugh, I’m serious. He’s really cute and I think, well I think that he would maybe actually date me.”

Bella stared at me, “Holy shit, you’re serious,” I nodded, “well in that case I wish you good luck and I’ll be your waitress so I can keep an eye on you guys.” 

I gave her a hug, “Thank you so much. Anyways, I’m going to sit down, can you bring two glasses of water to our table?”

“You already know it! Now go sit!” Laughing you went to go sit down and texted Spencer. 

Me

Hey, I’m here. Just tell the hostess my name and they’ll bring you. 

Spencer

Perfect. I’m almost there. See you soon.

While I waited I answered a few texts and wrote down some good ideas for lyrics. “Hey,” you looked up and saw Spencer. 

“Hi Spencer! Good to see you.” 

Spencer sat down in front of you. “Good to see you too. How have you been?”

“Oh I’m good. Just a little busy. How are you?”

Spencer sighed, “I’m as good as I can be at the moment. This last case was kind of tough but we caught the woman doing it so it’s all good.”

“A woman? Interesting. Why would a woman harm other women?”

Spencer took in an excited breath, “Well, women offend for many different reasons. Assuming they aren’t psychopaths, women might offend other women because they are a surrogate for an abusive mother, a woman that got with their ex-boyfriend, or any other of that variety. However- wait nevermind, you probably don’t want to hear this.”

I stared at him in awe, “Woah, that was amazing. How did you know all of that?”

He looked surprised, “Well, I’m actually in the FBI. I’m in a specialized group called the BAU also know as the Bahvioral Analysis Unit. We get called in to different police departments when they are having trouble with killings happening.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. I mean well it’s not great that people are dying, but it’s amazing that you guys go in and help them.”

He stared at me, “Uh, yeah but that’s what I do for work, what about you?”

I cleared my throat, “I, uh, I sing.” I chickened out hardcore and decided not to tell him about my superstar status that I have. 

“Oh, well that’s fun. Do you sing at bars or nightclubs?” he asked inqusitevely. 

“Oh, uh, that’s actually where I got my start. I went from bars and nightclubs, to the opera, then to writing and producing my own music.” I was so nervous speaking that he definitely knew. 

He looked confused, “So how do you make money now?”

“Um, there’s no easy way to say this but I’m a global popstar. I make money through music. And I was really nervous about telling you this because I loved how you didn’t know me at that coffee shop and talked to me like I was a normal person and I really don’t want you to think of me differently.” I rambled out so fast I doubted he could even understand me.

He held out his hand, palm up, waiting for me to grab it and I do, “Don’t worry about that. To me, you are just that really cute girl that I met in a coffee shop reading The Odyssey in Greek.”

I looked him in the eyes, “You think I’m cute?”

He blushed, “Uh, well, I -uh yeah I do,” he stammered out. 

I smiled, “Well it’s a good thing I think you’re cute too.” He smiled at that. Bella came around and took our order and we spent the next hour talking and eating. Just getting to know each other. Although Spencer offered I told him that I’d cover the bill and he let me after I spent fifteen minutes convincing him. 

After I got to my apartment, he texted me asking if I got home alright. I responded yes and asked him the same thing and he said yes as well. I flopped on the couch just thinking that although it was unintentional, this wasn’t a horrible first date.

Snack Theif!?!?!?!

Diary of Ranpo Edogawa

July 19th, 2024

8:00 AM: Woke up to the delightful aroma of my favorite snacks... or so I thought. Arrived at the Agency only to find my stash mysteriously missing. Suspicious. Very suspicious. Who would dare deprive the world's greatest detective of his brain fuel?

8:15 AM: Began my investigation. Interrogated everyone. Atsushi looked too scared to be guilty. Kunikida, too busy with his ideals. My prime suspect: Dazai. He always has a penchant for chaos.

9:00 AM: Kunikida dragged me into a meeting. Something about a terrorist plot to blow up Yokohama. Typical Monday. I told him I could solve it in my sleep, but first, I needed to find my snacks.

9:30 AM: Used my Super Deduction to trace my snacks to Dazai's desk. Confronted him, and he admitted it, laughing all the while. I retrieved my snacks and informed him of my next prank involving all his bandages. He seemed oddly unfazed. Hmm.

10:00 AM: Time to focus. Activated Super Deduction to figure out the terrorists' plan. It was a piece of cake. The culprits had left a trail of clues that even a blindfolded monkey could follow.

11:00 AM: Located the terrorists' hideout. Texted the location to Kunikida and told him to handle the rest. I had more important things to do, like savoring my snacks.

12:00 PM: Lunch break. Kunikida called, yelling about needing me at the hideout. Sighed, grabbed my coat, and headed out. Can't leave everything to the amateurs.

1:00 PM: Arrived at the hideout. Disabled the bombs with ease. The terrorists were no match for my intellect. Informed Kunikida he owed me a month's supply of snacks for this.

3:00 PM: Back at the Agency, basking in the glory of another case solved. Found a thank-you note from Kyouka with some extra snacks. Maybe the day wasn't so bad after all.

5:00 PM: Wrapped up the day with some light reading. Kunikida begrudgingly thanked me for saving Yokohama. I told him it was all in a day's work for the greatest detective.

7:00 PM: Headed home with a sense of satisfaction. Saved the city, reclaimed my snacks, and outwitted Dazai. Not a bad day.

Until tomorrow,

Ranpo Edogawa

TM GAME TOURNAMENT MAGAZINE ANNOUNCEMENT 08 PART 04

Leading Students Redemption Part 03 Contents: [9.] Dealing With The Celebration Argument [10.] Fact Versus Scandal [11.] Scandal Side Part 01 [12.] Scandal Side Part 02

Dealing With The Celebration Argument

To me, my senses tells me I have reached great height of achievements. Yet, I have to hide my feeling on I want to celebrate about reaching great height of achievements. Because what if I started celebrating, then someone bring up the following question: How does local league climb so high?

I heard that when a person is drunk on alcohol or high on drug. That person could expressed their hidden feelings. As for me, I think I have expressed my hidden feeling before multiple times. But, in those multiple times no one saw it. I'm going to write how those multiple times happen in "The Legend Comes To Life" and "At the Beginning".

"The Legend Comes To Life"

Because those multiple times are from listening to music. So, I keep it to myself, because I think it is hard to believe music have such strong power to let me able to feel my hidden feeling.

"The Legend Comes To Life" Soundtrack from Pokemon The Movie 2000: The Power of One.

"The Legend Comes To Life" make me I feel like I have a spiritual awakening in another world.

The following reasons could be why I have reached the awe state:

I constant compete in the TM Game Tournament, sport team, and combat. Constant making time to study school subjects. And, I have a part time job. So, I don't have time to listen to music.

No players have come close to having as many First Places as I do among the players I meet. In a way, this setting new record could make me becomes a legend. The title, "The Legend comes to life" mean there is a world that could see me as a legend. A feeling of achieving my goal. Finally, I'm rewarded for all the competing.

I'm exhausted and I need a moment away from my stressful life. "The Legend Comes To Life" able to me do that.

I got in the movie theater line for the Pokemon the Movie 2000. At the ticket booth, I purchase 6-7 tickets. Then, I don't if I asked the employee how many tickets are left or not. Buying 1 ticket you get 1 free Pokemon Movie Promo Card. 7 tickets = 7 Promo Cards. Anyway, I thought I heard there are movie theaters that sold out on those tickets.

After I got the tickets, I hurried back to my 2000 Comic Con schedule. San Diego International Comic Con. Annual 4 days event. I been on my schedule since the opening hour at 9:00 AM. At around 3:00 PM, I'm a bit exhausted from rushing around. Also, I'm hungry because I haven't eat breakfast or lunch yet. I decided to buy a sandwich at Ralph supermarket. After eating the sandwich, I would go to Horton Plaza Mall movie theater and watched Pokemon the Movie 2000.

By Summer 2000, I have around 40 First Places in the weekly Pokemon Tournament in Pacific Beach (PB) neighborhood. The 40 First Places make me having the most First Places in PB. Having the most First Places make me the grand champion. In a way, I have went through a lot of arguments defending the grand champion.

Both the exhaustion from rushing around the whole day. Exhaustion from defending the grand champion. So, I must have fell asleep some minutes after seated down inside the movie theater. I think it could be I'm waiting for Pokemon the Movie 2000 to begin. The wait is around 20-30 minutes. After the movie end. If you wait around 20-30 minutes, then the same movie will play again. This mean if I fell into a deep sleep. I could sleep through multiple length of the same movie.

Even though, I want to hurry back to my 2000 Comic Con schedule. But, I felt taking that nap is worth it. While sleeping, I forgot about I came to the movie theater. I still thinking I'm rushing around in my schedule. At the same time, defending the grand champion.

As I'm starting to wake back up. At the same time, the "The Legend Comes To Life" melody just begin. Why is there a flute melody? Where am I? All of a sudden, the flute melody make me felt like I'm in the big screen.

Later on, I told myself the "The Legend Comes To Life" melody make me feel like a legend is because I been hiding about I have reached great height of achievements.

"At The Beginning"

"At The Beginning" Song sang by Richard Marx & Donna Lewis.

"At the Beginning" I usually listen at the night time on my Walkman with headphone. I feel like I'm in a dream world. And, there is a clear night sky filled stars.

"At the Beginning" have similar reasons to "The Legend Comes To Life" on why I was able to reach awe state listening to it.

Option1: Save up your money to defend the grand champion.

Option2: Save up your money. Buy a second hand vehicle. Be the first student to drive a vehicle to MBHS campus.

In summary, I'm watching my fund/budget closely, because I have to defend the grand champion.

Outside of the TM Game Tournament circle, most of the time, I have made trade transaction with Gary and Venda. Even though, I'm watching my fund, but in one of the trade transaction, I was able to traded a Walkman CD player. Also, a CD with some greatest hit songs. One of the songs is "At The Beginning".

Like I wrote above, I constant compete in the TM Game Tournament, sport team, and combat. Constant making time to study school subjects. And, I have a part time job. So, I don't have time to listen to music.

Even though, I hang out with friends and siblings. But, the constant competing all the time. Seem like I'm isolated. And, boxed in. "At the Beginning" is about starting a wonderful journey with a person you love. This mean this song able you to see the world outside your isolation and boxed in life.

The combination of: I own a Walkman CD player for the first time. I'm listening to CD music for the first time. And, I have been hiding my celebration on my achievements.

Because of that combination, this song trigger me let myself able to celebrate about the following: With the achievements in my life I could be on a wonderful journey with an idol.

As I'm listening to that song, I felt like I'm on a wonderful journey.

Fact Versus Scandal

To me, I didn't sees any main stream magazine or Newspaper wrote a story about me. Or, reporters interviewed me about the achievements in my life. So, I sees that people doesn't know me. How does people know how I have reached those 2 times where I celebrated "The Legend Comes To Life" and "At the Beginning"? The misunderstanding is I took drugs to be high. Example: I took co-caine, ecstasy, and anesthetic drugs in general to be high.

In addition, I vibe that there is the following scandal against me: I hang out with students who drop out of school and I'm ditching classes to take drug and be high. As a leading student I'm supposed to show leadership and positive influence. This mean this scandal would lead to bad reputation.

In summary, it is too confusing. To lesser the confusion. I have to point out both sides of the arguments. Looking at both sides of the arguments to lesser the confusion. The fact side: I will list the facts. Also, I will argues about my side of the argument. The scandal side: I will list the scandals. Including stereotypes and criticism.

I'm listing those scandals against me doesn't mean I'm wishing for those scandals against me. The following is my reasons for pointing out those scandals against me: If people able to see those scandals against me, then people could correlated why there are so many problems and bad lucks in my life. This mean if I didn't point out any scandal against me, then it would be too confusing for me to explained about why there are so many problems in my life. Example: The problems in my life didn't just happen for no reasons.

Scandal Side Part 01

Oxford Dictionary: Scandal an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage.

American Heritage Dictionary: Tabloid n. A newspaper of small format giving the news in condensed form, usu. with illustrated, often sensational material.

The scandals could be misunderstanding or accustation. The abusing the leading student power scandal could be argued as the source. Example: From that scandal other scandals are created. In addition, there is the leading student stereotype at the school campus. This stereotype is leading student get information about the rating of the instructors. Also, the school, staffs, and instructors give leading student privileges.

On 2002, from the students' rating, Ms. Omen math class have the highest rating. With careful planning on my school schedule and talking with the MBHS counsellor, I manage to reserved a seat in Ms. Omen's math class. Then, I switched out of her class to Ms. Wilsons' math class. Because there were a lot of conflicts in my school schedule.

Coincidentally, Samantha is also in Ms. Wilsons' math class. That is when I found out Samantha had came to MBHS campus. Back in 1998 PBMS campus in Mrs. Huff's math class. I remember seeing Kirk and Samantha in Mrs. Huff's math class, I would have that feeling of being in the same class with my idols. The following is how I picture meeting your idol: Going backstage to meet your idols. Getting autograph from your idols. There are times you have to get in line just to meet your idol(s). Sometime your idols don't even look at you. And, so on.

Like I wrote in the "Two Worlds" section, Kirk and Samantha show me that they also wanted to be friend with me.

Back to Ms. Wilsons' math class. I'm shocked that Samantha is in Ms. Wilsons' math class, because this class is different. Ms. Wilsons have her own ways of teaching.

I would take a peek at Samantha to confirm to make sure is her. What if she finally realized that she is the idol? So, I didn't talk to her. Occasionally, I take a peek at her.

I get extra credits for winning in chess against each students. Also, Ms. Wilsons looking for a student with a lot of wins in chess to teach the basic chess lessons to her class. The class is just slacking around. Is the chess games just slacking around also? Even slacking around, I didn't play the chess game against Samantha.

Ms. Wilsons is giving extra credits to students who won their chess game against another students. She would pair up the students to play each other in chess games for the extra credits. Also, she is looking for a student with a lot of wins in chess to teach the basic chess lessons to her class.

Watching TV program in class. Ordering pizza to deliver to Ms. Wilsons' math class. Playing Checker board game, card game, and game in general. All those activities listed could be argued as slacking around. What about chess? Is the chess games just slacking around also? Because there are so many activities in the class that could be argued as slacking around. Could mean that the class is just slacking around. But, I'm still serious about Samantha as a top honor student. Example: With all the slacking around going on, I'm still serious about want to know why Samantha is in Ms. Wilsons' math class first before jump to any conclusion, so I didn't play the chess game against Samantha. So happen I have been winning a lot on my chess games.

One day, Ms. Wilsons got in front of the class and said, "Neng, lookin at the scoreboard, you have got the most wins in chess so far. Let see who else you should play against…" Samantha is only student who know how to play chess. That I haven't play against. Before Ms. Wilsons pointed out I should play chess against Samantha.

I cut in. "Ms. Wilsons. I'll take the extra credits. I'll teach the chess lessons. I mean just basic and fundamental, right?"

Looking at me switching from Ms. Omen's math class to Ms. Wilsons' math class and about what happen in Ms. Wilsons' math class, there are the following scandal: I'm teaching chess in the class is equivalent to I'm encouraging the slacking around in Ms. Wilsons' math class to continue. This scandal could argued as I'm leading students to slacking around instead of focusing in school.

How did Samantha and me got mix in with Ms. Wilsons' math class? There is no way we could stand slacking around. Like I wrote above, the reasons I'm in her class is because I have conflicts with my school schedule. So, while the students are slacking around, in beginning I would play chess against the students who know how to play for extra credits. Or, Ms. Wilsons would assigned me to play chess against another assigned student. Afterward, I would only play chess against Jason Wivart to hone our chess skill. Since playing chess is not Trigonometry, so could be argued as slacking around.

I don't believe me and Samantha would throw away our image as leading students, so I would told Ms. Wilsons her class is falling behind Ms. Omen's math class multiple times. Those multiple times are not on the same day. Example: Those multiple times could be days apart. In a way, I felt telling Ms. Wilsons her class is falling behind is equivalent to there is a joke that is happening. But, I spoke up about that joke mean the joke is over. Get back to the schedule.

Looking at me standing up for the class and speaking up about what is going on in the class, there is the following scandal: I'm abusing my leading student power by telling the instructor what to do. What is happening to the leading students, Neng and Samantha?

The way I see it. I'm just glad to see Samantha again. So, I try not to think too much about being in Ms. Wilsons' math class. Example: Back then on 1998. Me and her were so ready. Prime (At the top of our game). Can't afford to slack off even during our break time.

Looking at the summarization of me in Ms. Wilsons' math class, there is the following scandal: I abused my leading student power by switching out of Ms. Omen's math class to Ms. Wilsons' math class. Just to spend some time with Samantha. This scandal could argued as the following: Leading student usually on top of their games. Planned out many years into their future. And, would commit suicide or resigned their image as leading student if they felt they did something wrong. As for me, I created a conspiracy that is very confusing for leading students. Example: I'm dragging leading students down. I'm creating a bad reputation for leading students. And/or, I'm creating problems to leading students.

Scandal After Scandal

On 2002, I got the MBHS Journalism Badge as a reporter, there is the following Scandal: I used my reporter badge to ditch class. To get out of the MBHS campus. To talk with the female athletes at the school campus. And, to get around the rules and policies at the MBHS campus. This scandal could argued as it is very mess up for me to do that, because it is equivalent to breaking the laws. As for the journalism, the journalism had been recognized as the law and order.

On 2000. Another misunderstanding happen. This misunderstanding is the same as Ms. Wilsons' math class. This time I switched to Coach Roaster MBHS Women Tennis team class. Just to spend some time with Jamie. First, on 1999 me and Jamie were in a waiting class. I vibe if I bring up the words, waiting class people might not believe me. Or, make fun of me. Now, women tennis. The argument is women tennis is supposed to be for women.

Basically, those events would lead to the following scandals: I'm slacking off and sleeping in class with jail bait. Also, I'm ditching class to have tennis rally with jail bait.

Because people could use those scandals against me. Mean I don't have a future such as going to college. As for the students in MBHS campus, those students' parents have saving plan for those students to go college. Also, those students have went through all their preparations to go to college. Mean that those students have a future such as those students are prepared to go to college.

One day, MBHS Men Tennis team started talking about their plans to go college. I was in the middle of rally with the MBHS Men Tennis team manager, Angela. So, I changed the topic by saying, "Do you need all those high expectation University to coach a tennis team?"

Basically, looking at that men tennis team scene, there is the following scandal: I'm an irresponsible leading student who neglecting about making plan to go to college.

I stop myself to follow though with the following, because of the conflicts in my life: Joining the Key Club to spend some time with Jamie. Putting the Chess Club together to continue with the basic chess lessons I taught in Ms. Wilsons' class.

If I put the Chess club together and joined the Key Club, then there is the following scandal: I'm a leading student it is my responsibilities and duties to create club and join club. But, I join club to have some fun with jail bait.

With all the misunderstandings that could lead to scandals and bad reputation, I felt like I have destroyed my MBHS years.

The argument is a war break out, I'm drafted to the army. Then, I could leave behind the denial. This denial is I have achieved all of my goals. Things are working out for me. But, I'm complaining about it is very unfair and upsetting.

I put it at: If you have to create another misunderstanding to the many misunderstandings in my life. Then, it is not the first time someone create a misunderstanding in my life.

So, I took Mrs. Murphey's Advance Chemistry Class again. I still recalled on Summer 2000 in the Privileged Advance Chemistry Summer Class, she wrote down my test score as the highest test score in the class on the whiteboard. The whole class turned their heads toward me. Mrs. Murphey still remember me, right?

Looking at the scene where me and Jamie is in Mrs. Murphey's Privileged Advance Chemistry Summer Class, there is the following scandal: It is so difficult to get a seat to be in the Privileged Advance Chemistry Summer Class. I took that class and have the highest test score just my way to impressive the jail bait. In addition, if I knew I was going to drop that class. Then, why didn't I let a student who really need to take that class have my seat. Example: There was a huge list of students needed to take that class.

I save Mrs. Murphey's Advance Chemistry class for my last year in MBHS, because I thought she still remember me, so I don't have to worry too much about failing her class. Also, I have high test scores in her class back on Summer 2000 mean she know I could pass her class. Even though, there have been a lot conflicts (drama) in my MBHS years, but Advance Chemistry Class is not a Drama Class. There shouldn't be too much drama, right?

After Ms. Wilsons' math class, one day, while riding my bicycle back to my house, Samantha greeted me and gave me a wave. So, I would ride my bicycle next to her. She doing her cross-country running training. The cross-country training path is the same path as the path to my house. I would pace riding my bicycle with her jogging pace for about half of a mile. Occasionally, when me and her see each on the way, I would ride my bicycle next to her. Just regular greeting. Not much talking. This happen multiple times.

Coincidentally, Samantha is in Mrs. Murphey's Advance Chemistry class also. This time I know she and me have talked before while I was riding my bicycle next to her. Back on 1998. When I have found out she is a top honor student. She have been my idol. People usually get autograph from their idols. Do those people take their idols out for dinner?

Scandal Side Part 02

For some reasons, I vibe that all the students that have a lot of drama in their life have gathered together in Mrs. Murphey's Advance Chemistry class. It is okay for those students, because many of those students are 10th graders. As for me, I'm a 12th grader, if I don't get a passing grade, then I can't graduate. Samantha is a 10th grader also.

One day, Mrs. Murphey would suggested to me that if I want a passing grade and able to graduate. Then, I should sit close to her desk.

[Important Note: I'm going to finish writing "Scandal Side Part 02" section, after I finish writing "Fact Side Part 01, Part 02, and Part 03".]

Gospel News

Dear friends and members of Fort Lee Gospel Church,

I trust this email finds you in a good place. God is always at work, in both the blessings and the challenges. Today I would like to address Halloween and Prayer.

Halloween

On Thursday, October 31st, our culture celebrates a ‘kids’ day with dressing up, collecting candies, and making fun out of evil themes. Most parents consider Halloween to be innocent fun. Parents who come from cultures ravaged by evil spirits may marvel at our country’s ignorance regarding the darkness of this season. Those of us who are students of the Bible know that demons are fallen angels, and that Jesus and His followers often cast out demons who tormented their human hosts. Evil spirits have power, but ‘greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.’ (I John 4:4 KJV)

Ephesians 5:8-13 reminds us:

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

This week may we live as ‘children of light’ as we enjoy the favor of our God. Stay safe.

Prayer Meeting November 4

Back in the summer a few of our leaders started discussing how we as a church can respond to our historical moment, including the political toxicity. The idea birthed in July 2024 was that our church needed to focus on prayer. We bought ‘prayer bracelets,’ developed a prayer guide, focused the preaching on prayer, shared testimonies on prayer, and took more time to pray at the close of the Sunday services.

A couple of weeks ago I came across a movement called Great American Prayer (or GAP) that chose to encourage prayer gatherings on Monday, November 4th at 6:00-7:00 PM in each time zone. Fort Lee Gospel Church will borrow the concept and the time frame and will host a one-hour prayer meeting. You are all invited. The prayer themes will be for our government, our families, our schools, our businesses, our entertainment industry, and our churches.

Be reminded that while you should vote, know that your prayers are more impactful than your votes. In the words of Paul,

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. (I Tim 2:1-2)

-Pastor Rick

A Day at the Best Ayurvedic Resort in Kerala: A Journey to Wellness and Harmony

Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing, is more than just medicine—it’s a way of life that brings balance to body, mind, and spirit. Imagine stepping into a serene retreat where every moment is crafted to promote holistic well-being. That’s the essence of a day at the best Ayurvedic resort in Kerala. From rejuvenating therapies to nourishing meals, each part of the day is a step toward deeper healing and relaxation.

Here’s what your day might look like:

Morning Routine: Awakening with Nature

6:00 AM – Rise with the Sun

Your day begins with the soft sounds of birds chirping and the first rays of sunlight peeking over lush greenery. At the resort, we believe in syncing with nature’s rhythm. Guests are gently woken early to begin their journey with a fresh start. The first ritual? A warm glass of herbal-infused water or lemon water to awaken the digestive system.

Why this matters: In Ayurveda, starting the day with hydration stimulates digestion and clears out toxins.

6:30 AM – Yoga and Meditation

Imagine stepping out into nature, the morning air crisp and cool. A yoga session awaits, focused on gentle postures that improve flexibility and prepare your body for the day ahead. This is followed by a peaceful meditation to center your thoughts and calm your mind. Whether you’re by a river, surrounded by trees, or in a tranquil yoga studio, this moment of mindfulness sets a serene tone for the day.

Did you know? Yoga and meditation not only improve physical health but also reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall emotional balance.

Ayurvedic Breakfast: A Healthy Start

8:00 AM – Nourishment for Body and Soul

Breakfast at an Ayurvedic resort is no ordinary meal. It’s a personalized feast tailored to your dosha (body type). You might enjoy spiced oatmeal, fresh seasonal fruits, herbal teas, or traditional Kerala dishes like idlis with chutney. Each dish is crafted with locally sourced ingredients and prepared to provide you with the energy and nourishment you need for the day.

Tip: The goal of Ayurvedic meals is to balance your internal energies, leaving you feeling light and energized.

Mid-Morning: Healing Begins

9:00 AM – Consultation with Ayurvedic Experts

After breakfast, it’s time to meet with experienced Ayurvedic practitioners. A personal consultation helps assess your unique dosha and health concerns. This leads to a customized treatment plan just for you, including therapies, diet, and lifestyle suggestions to help restore balance and vitality.

10:30 AM – Therapeutic Treatments

Now, you enter the heart of Ayurveda—its healing therapies. Whether it’s an Abhyanga (full-body oil massage), Shirodhara (steady stream of oil on the forehead), or Pindasveda (herbal bolus massage), these treatments work to detoxify and rejuvenate the body. Every therapy is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

Why Ayurveda? These treatments not only relieve physical discomfort but also promote mental clarity and emotional balance.

Afternoon: Time to Unwind

12:30 PM – Ayurvedic Lunch

Lunch is a mindful affair at the best Ayurvedic resort in Kerala. Picture a colorful spread of khichdi, freshly cooked vegetables, and dosha-specific desserts. Each bite is designed to promote digestion and balance. A refreshing buttermilk drink or a digestive herbal tea often accompanies the meal.

Fun fact: According to Ayurveda, lunch is the most important meal of the day when your digestive fire is at its peak!

2:00 PM – Rest and Digest

After lunch, it’s time for a well-deserved break. Rest is essential in Ayurveda, allowing the body to process food and heal. This is your time to journal, read a book, or simply relax in nature.

What to do? A gentle stroll through the resort's gardens or a nap in a hammock might be just what your body needs.

Evening: Rejuvenation Continues

4:00 PM – Workshops on Ayurveda

Curious to learn more about Ayurveda? The resort hosts engaging workshops where you can discover Ayurvedic practices, herbal remedies, and tips for holistic living. Whether you’re a beginner or a wellness enthusiast, these sessions are full of practical advice to take home.

6:00 PM – Sunset Yoga

As the sun dips below the horizon, it’s time for another round of yoga. This session focuses on gentle stretches and breathing exercises to release any tension that’s built up throughout the day. The soft light of the setting sun makes this a truly magical experience.

Dinner and Night Routine: Wind Down with Care

7:30 PM – Light Ayurvedic Dinner

Dinner is intentionally light and easy to digest. You might be served vegetable soup, steamed greens, or a wholesome grain dish—all designed to help your body prepare for restful sleep. A calming herbal tea rounds off the meal.

Did you know? Eating light in the evening aids in digestion and promotes better sleep, one of the key pillars of good health in Ayurveda.

9:00 PM – Reflection and Gratitude

As the day comes to an end, guests gather to reflect on their experiences, share their thoughts, and express gratitude. This simple yet powerful practice fosters a sense of community and inner peace.

10:00 PM – Restorative Sleep

Finally, you retire to your peaceful room, where everything—from the linens to the air—invites relaxation. A soothing herbal bath or calming meditation may be recommended to ease you into a deep, restful sleep, in line with Ayurvedic wisdom.

Conclusion: A Journey into Holistic Living

A day at the best Ayurvedic resort in Kerala isn’t just a retreat—it’s a transformative experience. From personalized therapies to nourishing meals, every aspect of your stay is designed to align your body, mind, and spirit. You’ll leave not only feeling rejuvenated but also armed with Ayurvedic knowledge and practices that you can incorporate into your daily life.

So why not treat yourself to this journey of wellness? Step into the world of Ayurveda, where ancient wisdom meets modern well-being, and discover the lasting impact it can have on your health and happiness.

Module 3 : Making Data Management Decisions Analyzing the Impact of Work Modes on Employee Productivity and Stress Levels: A Data-Driven Approach

Introduction

In the evolving landscape of work environments, understanding how different work modes—Remote, Hybrid, and Office—affect employee productivity and stress levels is crucial for organizations aiming to optimize performance and employee well-being. This analysis leverages a dataset of 20 employees, capturing various metrics such as Task Completion Rate, Meeting Frequency, and Stress Level. By examining these variables, we aim to uncover patterns and insights that can inform better management practices and work culture improvements.

Data Management and Analysis

To ensure the data is clean and meaningful, we performed several data management steps:

Handling Missing Data: We used the fillna() function to replace any missing values with a defined value, ensuring no gaps in our analysis.

Creating Secondary Variables: We introduced a Productivity Score, calculated as the average of Task Completion Rate and Meeting Frequency, to provide a composite measure of productivity.

Binning Variables: We categorized the Productivity Score into three groups—Low, Medium, and High—to facilitate easier interpretation and analysis.

We then ran frequency distributions for key variables, including Work Mode, Task Completion Rate, Stress Level, and the newly created Productivity Category. Let’s start by implementing the data management decisions and then proceed to run the frequency distributions for the chosen variables.

Step 1: Data Management

Handling Missing Data:

We’ll use the fillna() function to replace any NaN values with a defined value. For this example, we’ll assume there are no NaN values in the provided dataset, but we’ll include the code for completeness.

Creating Secondary Variables:

We’ll calculate a new variable, Productivity Score, based on Task Completion Rate (%) and Meeting Frequency (per week). This score will be a simple average of these two metrics.

Binning or Grouping Variables:

We’ll group the Productivity Score into three categories: Low, Medium, and High for salary revision purposes.

Step 2: Frequency Distributions

We’ll run frequency distributions for the following variables:

Work Mode

Task Completion Rate (%)

Stress Level (1-10)

Productivity Score (grouped)

Here’s the complete implementation:

import numpy as np

Reaver Drinking Song #280

"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing – and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order." Zoe’s description of reavers on the TV show Firefly sounds pretty insane. And every time we meet the reavers in the show and movie, they seem just as insane. And yet… they can fly spaceships.

Reavers Drinking Songs Lyrics

"Reaver Drinking Song" lyrics and music Marc Gunn

* Bash their heads flay their skin Make them scream in pain Let ‘em alone and think you’re done Let's start another refrain

Niska was old and scary, A bad reputation And then he heard a reaver scream His body's gone for cremation.

Badger was a businessman Roots in the community A reaver ate his little gang And now he can't even pee

Durran's steak was always rare Before I first met him He met a reaver now won't eat steak He's a vegetarian

Bester loved ships and women They howled when he boarded them He shipped was boarded by reavers. Now He howls when they board him.

Boss Higgins' word was law What he said was set in stone Then reavers hit Higgins' Moon The law is now written in bone

Fanty and Mingo are fine twins You can't tell one from t'other Until they met a band of reavers Now Mingo's the prettiest brother

Jubal was a bounty hunter A sadist through and through He rambled about philosophy While a reaver started to chew

No mercy, they all were weak Cattle for the slaughter Open them up, look inside I think I see Harry Potter
