#All of this combined to make Dola

[101flavoursofweird]

Dola!

Rewatched Laputa: Castle in the Sky and I adore Dola’s character so, so much.

We first see her when she and her crew storm an airship— she’s after Sheeta’s crystal necklace. Sheeta tries to escape (from Muska, mainly) out the window but then she slips and Dola screams, “MY CRYSTAL!” as the girl falls presumably to her death. While this is hilarious, Dola knows about the powers of the crystal so she knew Sheeta would survive. (Probably!)

The sky pirate mother and her gang then invade Pazu’s hometown, searching for Sheeta and her crystal. Honestly, if it came down to being capture by the sky pirates or Muska and the military… I’d go with the pirates. At least they’re funnier.

Sheeta does eventually return to Muska’s clutches. Dola and Co agree to help Pazu save Sheeta— I mean, the crystal. All Dola cares about is the crystal! But then Sheeta’s crystal gets lost and Dola decides both kids can join her crew… totally for Dola’s crew’s benefit and not for their own protection.

Dola lends Sheeta some clothes, and she discusses Sheeta and Pazu with her husband. (Who is also just totally chill about letting these two kids onboard!) But Dola isn’t going soft— not at all! She hears the kids talking through the pipes about how they might need to leave the pirates or find Laputa on their own… and she just smiles. Sheeta and Pazu are not prisoners.

When the pirates believe Pazu and Sheeta have perished at Laputa, they’re all devastated. But then they realise the kids survived and they’re so happy. Dola gives Sheeta a huge hug and mourns the loss of Sheeta’s pigtails. (A picture of a younger Dola reveals she also had pigtails in the past!)

I know Pazu and Sheeta part ways with the pirates at the end of the movie, but I’m just going to pretend they met up again later on. The pirates can all retire and work on Sheeta’s farm.

The borders and paleness of these sarees often feature elaborate embroidery or embellishments that add a touch of opulence. Whether you are going for a wedding, a formal party or a casual gathering, the EKBANNI collection has the perfect saree to elevate your look.

Versatility and style

One of the key advantages of semi dola silk sarees is their versatility. They can be styled in different ways to suit different occasions. Pair a bright, embroidered saree with traditional jewellery for a festive look or opt for minimalist accessories for a more understated look. The lightweight fabric makes it easy to drape in a variety of styles, allowing you to express your personal fashion sense.

Care and maintenance

EKBANNI ensures that their semi-down silk sarees are not only beautiful but also durable. To maintain their shine and quality, gentle hand washing is recommended along with the use of mild detergents. Proper storage will help preserve their elegance for many years.

Hii<3 asking about how Dola feels abt Belphegor >_> and also how they would feel abt...Sally..!

Belphie!!! Cracks knuckles bc I feel like I'm gonna talk about like... Canon divergence dhjkgfd (sorry for rubber ducking on your ask+eventually going on and on on Sally's sdhfjksd working mostly off of my imagination since you don't talk about them enough!! >.<)

So like... Of course this is like, the roughest start of them all, even more so because Dola doesn't go up to see him on her second day in the Devildom like MC does in canon? As curious as she is, hearing a disembodied voice call for help in the a house full of demons is idiot behavior she refuses to do. So Lilith has to do a little interfering so that Belphie's attempts at trying to get to her work (in her canon they don't meet in the attic until much later; they first meet in her dreams where he terrorizes her for a bit until she gives in and talks in exchange for some peace).

They sort of... Surprisingly get along while they're dream chatting? Begrudgingly since he's just always there pestering her about progress on making the pacts while also sort of looking for someone to talk to in a way, so he's the most consistent constant company she has. And if she wants a good night of sleep she has to like, not upset him, so they're both pretty annoyed at each other until something distracts them from it. Their talks kind of err on the side of her updating him about stuff that happened, how his brothers are, which eventually starts getting the chance of him ranting to her and her helping him work through his feelings.

And things go well enough! It leads to her eventually getting up the attic while Lucifer's away (I'll bring you some of that sushi you like if you'll leave me alone tomorrow night) and he goes into a crisis of whether he actually *gags* likes a human.

Post-Incident uh, things are pretty rough. He's mainly saved from her never forgiving him by her coming to the conclusion that Diavolo and Barbatos knew everything was going to happen and played a part in planning it + him offering a pact in exchange for a shot at forgiveness (bc her avoiding him was making shit kinda rough for him in the HoL). Then from there it slowly goes back to them being pretty chill with each other? He does put effort into making things better between them, which she sees and accepts as points in his favor.

(idk why but I'm inclined to say he had like, a pretty longtime crush on her...? That only Beel knew about.)

Tbh they don't spend that much time together unless it's in a group with the other brothers. Dola's very anti-sloth as a person plus combined with how Belphie spends a lot of time asleep there's not a lot of times they can hang out one-on-one. Unless he hangs out in the same room as her while she's working on something, or is the one to join her whenever she needs to go out to do some nature studies for art thingz. He's probably had her teach him how to make good art and it goes... not that well shjkfhgjkfg

They're like... Idk how to word it. It's chill, simple company that's pretty laid back, but sometimes they get deep if they're alone somewhere private...? Sort of the same as how they were while he was still in the attic, but now they both update each other on what they've been doing when they're not hanging out together with the company of the others. They talk shit about the royals often and get into the occasional argument about whether Dola overworks herself or not (spoiler, she kinda does.)

He also knows his baby brother card doesn't work on her but tries anyway, then she rubs it in that it doesn't work.

AAAAAAAA okay that's a lot. time for Sally!! Which is probably shorter since I don't know her too well

Okay so for Sally I'm gonna set up a scene lmao. Let's say they meet in Goetia for the first time when Asmo takes Dola there to get her hair rescued after messily chopping something like 12 inches off mid-breakdown (canon). She knows she looks like a mess and sticks out among everyone there, probably.

When it's her turn to get up there and get her hair done, she's probably been watching Sally work for a while since I imagine they're pretty standout among the Goetia staff as well. Very good fashion, mentally taking down notes. Probably unknowingly helps set Dola up into a future goth of some form (or at least wears predominantly black and yes Sally is canon in Dola's canon now oh yes it's happening)

The death aura v death aura probably cancel out into Dola thinking Sally's really chill? Easy to talk to, can trust them with her hair. Sally's totally not the vibe she was expecting when Asmo set up the appointment. Would Sally initiate small talk? :o

Whether or not they do, Dola would come out of it pleased and contemplating having her hair bleached and colored. From then on she becomes a regular client whenever she has to get her hair done while in the Devildom (and later on just in general once she knows how to teleport. Sally gets to do whatever they want with immortal Dola's hair once it starts going out pure white every few months.)

Also I have no idea what etiquette is but I like thinking that they start hanging out outside of the salon because Dola ends up being Sally's last client of the day and it's too early to head home or they conversation's really nice so they go and grab some sort of drink of choice somewhere... Or like just walk around aimlessly when the streets are quiet while they have a chat >w<

Which is where I think Dola would start like, talking more and bring up more stuff that she has in common with Sally? I can see Dola enjoying having someone other than Satan and Lucifer to discuss art with since I imagine Sally's tastes and takes to be different from theirs, and that since I think Sally actually makes art it adds a whole new layer to their conversations, y'know? Like it's always different when the person gets it from a maker/creator standpoint.

Oooh plus Dola updated Sally on all the human world stuff, art and fashion and all? Feel like she'd enjoy coaxing whatever excitement she can get out of Sally

Oml imagine Sally being the one to start Dola off on getting together a new wardrobe during her first in the Devildom once she's finally had enough of her hoodies and jeans?? Beating Asmo to the punch? This is becoming like... Headcanons about those two more than Dola's thoughts but still sdhfk I feel like the fact that Dola would let them take her shopping says a lot >w<

You know what? Dola needs friends outside of the brothers and Solomon ahjsk this is fun

Send me a character and I'll tell you how my one OC feels about them (or if you somehow remember the names of my other rarely mentioned OCs, you can ask about them too lmao

What are the risk factors associated with Breast Cancer?

Research shows that your risk for breast cancer is a combination of various factors which includes your growing age. Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or more. 

Some women might get breast cancer without any other risk factors. Having a risk factor doesn't mean you will have the disease and not all risk factors will show the same effects on you. Most women do not get breast cancer even if they have been detected with the risk factors.

 If you are been detected with the risk factors, talk to a Breast Cancer Specialist.

Risk Factors Related to Breast Cancer

Getting older is the 1st risk factor for breast cancer, most breast cancers are diagnosed after age 50.

Women diagnosed with Genetic changes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 are at higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Early menstrual periods before age 12 and the start of menopause after the age of 55 exposes women to raise their risk of getting breast cancer.

Women with dense breasts are more likely to get breast cancer, dense breast contains more of connective tissue than fatty tissue which makes the tumors nearly non-visible on a mammogram test.

A woman's risk of breast cancer is higher if she has a family history of it. Risk of breast cancer increases if the first-degree relative (a mother, sister, daughter) or multiple family members on either her mother’s or father’s side of the family who has had breast cancer.

Women who have undergone radiation therapy to the chest or breast before the age of 30 are likely to risk of getting breast cancer later in life.

Women who are physical less active are also prone to have higher risk. 

Old age and Obesity are also the higher risk factors of getting breast cancer than compared with normal weight females.

As per the studies over intake of alcohol also increases risk's. 

 If you have a strong family history of breast cancer or genetic changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, then you may have a high risk of getting breast cancer. You may also have a high risk for ovarian cancer.

World-Building June 2017: Ennen (Day 10)

10. Holidays and Traditions

Holidays (much like everything else) differ depending on the part of the world you live in. Pretty much every community celebrates the solstices and equinoxes, for example, but aside from that, the slate of holidays changes based on where you are. Vandrio, as the location of the Church, observes a large variety of religious holidays devoted to different disciples and other religious figures - nearly all of them celebrated with feasts centered around that figure's favorite foods followed by periods of contemplative meditation. Kenba, on the other hand, recognizes the days of birth of previous rulers, as well as "victory days" commemorating the ends of previous wars. On the other end of the spectrum is Remina, which celebrates no holidays at all as the higher-ups see them as "unnecessary weakness."

Traditions follow the same rules of thumb. Vandrio is big into feasts and meditation - a combination some scholars call the "one-two punch" or the "guaranteed sleep aid" - while Kenba marks its celebrations with displays of opulence and shows of gladiatorial combat.

There are also some traditions specific to certain holidays. To celebrate the winter solstice, people in Erdric will make small snow sculptures of themselves and loved ones - initially, this was so you could pour out your negativity and poor health into the snowman, who would melt and take it all with them. Now, though, the original meaning of the tradition has been lost, and people just make snowmen - sometimes extremely elaborate ones.

The Dola Islands, while not unique in this, celebrate the summer solstice - but the people of Dola get more into it than anywhere else in the world. A week-long festival, capped off with the solstice as the final day, is the tradition - filled with performances, parades, artwork, crafts, and food. It's said in Dola that "time stops for us at the solstice," a reference to how everyone in the islands leaves their responsibilities behind for the week.

Edelmandola, for 12.

Thanks for sending this in, Anon!

#12 is “I want you. Only you.”

This is an AU because of course it is, LOL!

@spitfiremonk, @amenbrola, @infinityandcyanide, @squirreledelman, @ambatman, @accio-incredelman, @hazelnut416.

I hope that you all enjoy this! :-)

Julian’s mouth says one thing, but his actions tell a completely different story. Despite the history that he has with Tom and the fact that they’re still really close, Jules always assures Danny that there’s nothing going on between them. It’s always hard for Danny to believe that though.

He watches the way that they interact and it makes Danny insanely jealous. He understands that Julian and Tom have known each other for several years and that there’s a certain familiarity between them that’s unique. But it still rubs him completely the wrong way.

What Danny thinks is flirtation between the two friends, Jules tells him is just innocent fun. He explains that he and Tom have always treated each other a certain way even before they were together. Julian does have more of a tactile nature and Danny totally gets that. But he really hates seeing the way that he and Tom hug and kiss each other on the cheek.

Danny’s not used to being so green with envy and he really hates feeling this way. He just can’t help it though. He watches the way that Tom’s eyes light up while he’s around Jules and similarly, Julian has a glow about him when they’re together.

Danny, Jules, Tom, and a few more of their co-workers are currently out at a club since it’s Friday night. Danny’s brooding at the bar and drinking a beer while Julian and Tom are off dancing of course. He’s usually pretty mild mannered, but the beer combined with the vodka shots earlier in the night have Danny feeling bolder than usual.

Jules has pretty much ignored him the entire night and Danny wants to confront him. He’s not even surprised when he notices how close that their bodies are while they’re dancing together. They’re practically dry humping and that’s the last straw for Danny.

“What the fuck is this?” Danny yells.

“Nothing! We’re just dancing, Dola,” Julian answers.

“I’m tired of you trying to justify your behavior all of the time. This is not fucking ok!” Danny points out.

“Just calm down, we can talk about this later,” Jules promises.

“No, we need to talk now. Let’s go outside,” Danny responds.

***

“You’re really drunk and–”

Danny cuts him off. “That doesn’t mean that I’m going to be any less truthful.”

“Fine. Go ahead and say what you want to say then,” Julian replies.

“I feel like you’re still in love with Tom,” Danny admits.

“What? That’s crazy and absolutely not true! He’s my best friend and that’s it,” Jules repeats for what feels like the hundredth time since they’ve been dating.

“You guys act like you’re still together. I feel like a third wheel when I’m around both of you,” Danny tells him.

Julian tilts Danny’s head up so that they’re eye level. “Excluding family, there’s no one in my life that I’ve known longer than Tommy and we’ve always had a really special bond. But it doesn’t mean anything in a romantic sense.That’s why we’re not together anymore. I love him, but not like that. I want you. Only you.”

“That sounds good, but you don’t treat me that way,” Danny argues.

“I’ll work on that, ok? You’ll have to help me though by telling me when things are bothering you. I can tell that you’ve been holding on to your feelings for a while and letting them almost get out of control. You have to let me know what you need, Danny,” Jules says.

“Ok. Well what I need right now is for you to take me home and fuck me,” Danny whispers against his lips.

“That can definitely be arranged,” Julian says as he backs Danny into the building and kisses him.

8 and 12 for obey me ask

8. Which sin best represents you?

Oof. I think it's a close tie between Envy and Greed? Envy because I really do find myself envying a lot of people, especially for their art output that it sends me into deep spirals of depression and questioning if it's worth even trying anymore, and all the other things Levi tends to do tbh >.> My ugliest trait tbh, I'm so glad it's largely limited to art and I can avoid it by doing stuff that makes me feel like I'm making progress improving everyday/most days >.<

And Greed because I honest to goodness want more money (so tired of feeling bad whenever I need to spend on anything fun? or even food tbh) and daydream of stealing millions from billionaires and robbing designer fashion stores and stealing Rolexes to melt down into gold/platinum bars to sell for cash sdhfkdfg I want that money to spend on myself and my friends and family so bad bc we all deserve better (which I guess rounds back to envy again so maybe my biggest sin really is just Envy lmao)

12. Which lesson has been your favorite?

OOOUUGHGHGH LESSON 51 LESSON 51 MY BELOVED the number one reason why this blog even exists sdfhjksdghkjdfgh it's the Lesson where Satan and Simeon end up in an illusionary Celestial Realm and always has me up in my feelings each time I think about it. Close second is 52 because it's a continuation of it, and those Lessons combined are absolutely the ones I think about the most. Just gave me so much insight to Satan, Simeon, and their relationship with each other and the brothers? Talking about it makes me want to revisit my WIP rewrite of it...

Like. I know I'm likely going to change each Sorcerer Trial for Dola when I do the outline for how S3 went for her but... Those Lessons. I'm going to include them no matter what the fuck I end up turning her canon into omfg those lessons... Clutching my heart thinking about them... Ouugughg Satan.... ;A;

Incredible shout out to Lesson 46 as well since it has my Most Favorite Confession In The Game... Which is Solomon's :) The way it made some of the shit he did in S2 click sdhfkjdfg ougughg oml...

libra * campion * mm trial * r.e dola, lucita, probably more

She was in her own head for some time after all that. Not a bad place to be, usually, but for once Campion could not think of anything worse than being in the mind of someone in her specific situation. Chirin's look to her did not go unnoticed as Campion finally felt less of a weight to lift her head enough, but it provided little comfort; the one fact surely noticable in her lost eyes. 

(How unlucky they had both been, then, to twist their own choices so that entire misadventure occured in the first place- to challenge Chirin's predictions or to live in resignation of them coming to pass, all without knowing they were acting out as shadows of an event that had already occurred.) 

"I still don't understand." 

It wsa a reflexive comment, one so casually tossed out by an individual almost textbook defined by being careful with words and their meanings. Campion's shaking body gave one final twitch of defiance as though to mimic an animal shaking off the rain, lifting her chin higher than it really needed to be. If she was hanging off the edge of a cliff, it was her final attempt at a defiant hand slam onto the ground above with desperately clinging fingers. 

(Twenty seven is no age for even the most feisty of Fae to die.)

"So. This Sugar is getting impatient in her plans, then, and pulling us out towards her whenever the chance arises. Personally, I believe we are talking too much about her, and not about who may align with her- how are we supposed to guess how we died? Prix's hints are surely about who the traitors are, not what caused us to die. But what does much matter now anyway, I suppose. Presumably Prix noticed something was wrong shortly after Chirin died, and she did not arrive wherever was intended or fade away. The murder game is Prix's, the fact we do not progress past it and someone else is collecting us is Sugar's. Who wants to dig our heels in?"

How she wanted to yell at Dola- Dola, who had earned who knew how much time anymore to find this information for herself and come to an annoyingly blissful conclusion about it after Campion had helped deliberately obscure the circumstances behind her supposed death. Of course a difference had been noticed for her, of course it felt different and put a sickening spin on the entire day, week, period of their stay so far. It would have been such an easy snap: an unbecoming one but an easy one, and sometimes that was all that mattered. 

But Campion's hand was digging into that cliff edge, and to rant and scream would take all of that energy away. Her more tired mind instead fired off a different link from the thought, and she turned to Lucita.

"Lucita, you mentioned coming out of the ride with the spinning floor. Do you mean the carousel, by any chance?"

Once again she gestured to the whiteboard in the room, though now with much less granduer than before. She had refreshed herself on it previously when that shade of O'Malley had decided to take personal revenge against it; an event she had only managed to take mild interest in, and more because the violence drew her eye than anything more. 

"If that is the case, then... that only reaffirms my belief that these notes are something Prix - or perhaps some other meeting - has provided to us. A parasite might also fit this Sugar, reaching places she shouldn't such as Chuck's punishment after being introduced somewhere she shouldn't. Somehow, she was introduced, and perhaps either reached out to 'traitors' she knew may be sympathetic enough to what she wished to do, or... they were already on board from the moment we arrived here. I do not know how we can tell which is correct." 

A sigh. 

"Quite frankly, I imagine combined we could all make some argument for everyone in this room to accuse them of wanting to put the brakes on death, or working with people such as Sugar or those at Summit to figure out how to cross into the afterlife in such a manner. We do seem rather good at that kind of talk, don't we?"

It was a typically Campion flavoured set of words, ones that held a natural spot in them to be punctuated by an ahehe. But instead her words petered out, gaze no longer holding its own weight and dropping to the table once more.

Over the centuries Puri has been known variously as Nilachala, Srishetra Purushottam Shetra , Purushottam  Puri and Jagannath Puri known by different names. Its history Puri has assimilated all differences to create a unique stream of consciousness and has carved out a special place for itself in the world with its unique identity lifestyle and tradition. The geographical shape of Puri is in the shape of a south facing Kalsh called shankha in local balance that is why it is also known as shankha shetra.  A host of temples mods are the holy places and historically significant ponds are scattered across the geographical limits of the city.  But the Shree Mandir the temple devoted to Lord Jagannath has been at the center of all religious institutions philosophies and traditions that have flourished here  The Magnificent temple was constructed by King Chodaganga of the ganga dynasty in the 13th century.  Puri draws people from all over the world because of the three deities worshipped in the temple Lord Jagannath ,Lord balabhadra and Devi Subhadra. from mangala arathi to Pahara every ritual of the deities follows the normal daily routine of a human being  these servitors appointed to take care of a particular ritual constitute any Joga there are a total of 36 such new yoga's together known as Chatishyoga  the Gajapati king of puri has been designated as a first servitor of the lord  the king's palace symbolic of puris glorious royal past has great significance because many of the rituals of the Gajapati are performed here  [Music] there are numerous other temples small and big surrounding the shri Mandir in puri  all of them ancient , famous and with strong links with the Shree Mandir. Mahavir and Chandi are worshiped in these temples  the Shakti cult has several influences in puri among the many forms of the goddess here is Shama Kali in Bali sahi one of the tenth incarnations of Goddess Durga [Music]  another Shakti peeth is the alum Chandi temple at the entry point of Puri town now the temple is not exactly an architectural marvel it has immense religious significance [Music]  seven kilometers before Puri comes the Battmagla temple on the way to Shri Mandir there you will first bow their heads before the goddess here BaliharChandi on the road from Puri to Brahmagiri satpada is another important seed of the shakti cult  the eight-armed mahisamardini or buffalo killing form of Goddess Durga is worshipped here [Music]  another important temple of Puri Shakti cult is Ramachandi  there are numerous legends about the performance of tantric rituals here in the past  Saints and seals from around the world have arrived in Puri over the centuries many Saints like chaitanya, Ramanuja ,adi shankaracharya and Kabir has set up maths here for service to Lord Jagannath [Music]  there have been others who have found the charms of the spiritual town too hard to shake off and have never gone back  the religious institutions set up by them have led to a flourishing work culture in the town  the main purpose of which is the propagation of the Jagannth cult.  it is believed that the visiting Saints and seers must have come in contact with the Gajapathi King and influenced him with the spiritual and philosophical nuances of their own belief systems  the maths of Puri thus represent the wonderful integration of the best of the jagannatha cult and other Cults[Music]  but it is not just a confluence of beliefs, the maths also provide particular services during the myriad rituals of the Shri Mandir  the Goverdhan math set up by adi shankaracharya is considered the earliest of these maths jagadguru adi shankaracharya who came to puri sometime in the first half of the ninth century had ushered in a host of changes in the rituals of Shri Mandir .  that is why the Goverdhan Math continues to head the Mukti mandap.  the supreme policymaking body of the temple [Music]  the Jaganath Balav Math is another big attraction for religious tourists coming to Puri  this math established in the honour of Rai ramanandi and  as per the prevailing administrative custom is situated opposite the Municipal Market on the left side of the Grand Road.  the idols of Lord Jagannatha balabhadra and Subhadra come to the gardens inside the maths on Basant Panchami and some other special occasions.  this maths performs important rituals in the Shri Mandir at the time of Shri Rama Navami Dola Purnima and conduct of rituals   in keeping with this spiritual ambience of the city several ashrams have come up in various parts of puri named after saints and seers these asharams are closely linked to the rituals of Shri Mandir and had thus an integral part of the spiritual ethos of this pilgrim City  the lifestyle of the people of Puri is greatly influenced by the culture and traditions of the temple giving a distinctive flavour to the spiritual atmosphere of the city  like the rituals of the Lord the lifestyle of the people has an element of feudalism to it  the evening Khati or congregation is something that no Puri man misses out on these congregations usually take place at tea shops where the talk straddles everything from the mundane affairs of the neighborhood to events and issues in the country and the world at large  on their way back home the Khati members usually carry some cheese or vegetables  Bhang an edible preparation of cannabis is also part of most people's evening ritual here  there are some who routinely visit the temple after bath twice a day and that too at a particular time [Music]  they're life revolves around lord jagannath though it is not their profession they have been following this routine for ages because it gives them pleasure  [Music] the jagaghara or wrestling Place Called jagaghara in local parlance is an important component of the daily life in Puri  whenever they find time people of all classes in the locality congregate at the jagaghara   the people of Puri say Bhanga ,Sangha or friend , Sangato or special friend and Pangata or  community feast are the four key components of their lifestyle  all these four components are found together and in ample measure at the jagaghara . Cards (Pasha) and ganja possessions are a daily affair here while the helping a Bhang in the evening provides relief from the day-long exertions and fatigue  away from the hustle and bustle of the city the jagaghara  has kept alive another ancient tradition wrestling [Music]  physical exercises and wrestling bouts are practiced rigorously and with great commitment here  as part of the tradition of the jagaghara culture those who follow the physically demanding routine with the intention of becoming a champion wrestler are expected to stay away even from the shadow of a woman  that is a reason only men are allowed inside the jagaghara  we're a temple devoted to Lord Hanuman the epitome of power, discipline and celibacy has pride of place  no matter where they work and what time they are through with the day's business the members never failed to turn up at the jagaghara  to have their fill of Bhanga and praying at the feet of Lord Hanuman  some of the Sahis or colonies have more than one jagaghara   the numerousjagaghara  scattered across the city have kept alive a centuries-old tradition  the fact that the place where mud Cara's at toyed around all day long is also the place where gotipuya for performances are held to the accompaniment of the enchanting beats of Magdala and give me  suggest that a jagaghara  is not just a place for learning the art of physical combat it is also a platform for culture and refinement [Music]  the size of Puri town have also preserved another centuries-old tradition sahi jata perhaps the world's oldest open-air fair  chapters of the Ramayana are enacted with a wonderful combination of the spiritual and the folk during the fair that starts on drama of media  artists actually wait for a whole year to form on this special occasion  they dawn heavy dresses and paint themselves with garish colors to act as gods demons giant birds and horses  every sahi has its own distinctive symbol of flag to distinguish itself from others  artists who perform on the occasion like to believe that they are doing a service to the Lord with dance and song as a means [Music]  it is hardly surprising that creativity has flourished in this city with such a long cultural tradition and such an eventful past  perhaps that is a reason annapurna theater the pioneer of the modern theater movement in the state was born here way back in 1936  several theater groups in undivided Puri district were merged to form the annapurna  theater group  once the breeding ground of many acclaimed actors it is now in complete ruins with one dilapidated part towards the Uttar pareshwar math and the other faced in the grand road  though it shut down in 1978 it sowed the seeds of theater movement that latest spawned several full-grown trees [Music]  the constant arrival of tourists from outside has provided this ancient city  a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchanges that I have assured them new ideas  one such new idea was the making of Sita Vivah the first odia film way back in 1934 barely two years after the first Indian film Raja Harish Chandra was made and the man behind the whole idea was Mohan Sunder Dave Goswami the head of a rasa group that performed Odissi dance and music who had little knowledge or experience of filmmaking [Music]  there was not infrastructure for filmmaking in the town nor anyone else with even a perfunctory knowledge of filmmaking but in fact that is remarkable for its sheer audacity Dave Goswami goes for me not only made the film it was also its script writer director music composer singer and actor  legend has it that there are 13 festivals in puri in the twelve months of the year  some festival or the other keeps the town in near permanent state of festivities all year round the biggest of them all Ratha Yatra or the car festival it is also known as yatra Gosai yatra and Gundicha yatra   once in a year Lord Jagannath accompanied by his elder brother Lord Balabhadra and sister Subhadra sets off on his rath to the shri Gundicha temple his aunt's place where he was born [Music]  new raths are made for this journey every year the pudding logs for construction of the chariots traditionally come from Nayagarh district and the construction of the three chariots takes place in front of the Royal Palace  In the olden days the logs were brought on Boats . the vote for the construction of Lord Jagannath Chariot Nandi Ghosha Lord Balabhadra chariot Balanhadra and Darpadalana subhadra's Chariots  are separated on Akshaya Trutiyaan important day in the agricultural calendar of the state because seeds for the new crop are sown on this day [Music]  the Jalli yatra celebrated during the making of the chariots commemorates the dispatch of various food items from West Bengal by Chaitanya’s mother for her son who lived in Puri for 18 years [Music]  while the chariots are in the making the Lord catches fever after excessive bathing during snann yatra here returns to anshana ghara and fully recovers there before embarking on the surge on to his aunt's place  lakhs of devotees then pull the chariots to the Gundicha temple on other of the grand road Puri comes alive and throbs with activity during the nine days of the rath Yatra [Music]  among the more colorful festivals in puri is the Gosani yatra. it is in essence Durga Puja but with its own distinctive flavor in everything from the making of the statue to the rituals observed  legend has it that goddess gosani was a repository of all power created to fight the demon king Mahishasura  the name of the goddess speaks of the unique curry tradition [Music]  the raising of Badagadauwa is another unique tradition here forefathers invited earlier are given a ceremonial send-off by lighting bundles of jute stakes  prayers are made to them to give some blessing's on their way out  the mass raising of Badagadauwa  in front of the Jagannath temple is a sight to behold  the flames of thousands of bundles of the chewed sticks burning together create a breathtaking spectacle blessings are sought from the forefathers with fond chanting of Oriya lines that mean all “O my forefathers come in the dark, go in the light, keep rolling on the bayishi pahacha (22 steps)”  these lines are Chattred not just in Puri but across Odisha.

Solar Panels for Home in Dola Ohio 45835

The following article goes into detail about solar panels for home in Dola Ohio 45835 The very first thing you might ask - what is solar radiation and how does it associated to solar created electrical energy? A great question and one that is gone over in one of our article dedicated to house solar energy. This article, on the other hand, describes how kilowatts are determined based upon the energy output of your solar variety. We will likewise highlight the difference in between solar batteries connected in parallel versus in series. The typical American home uses about 25 kWh of electrical power per day. The copying illustrates the best ways to determine the power produced by a domestic solar energy system By seeking advice from a solar radiation map, we discover that a home receives 5 hours of direct solar radiation a day, averaged out throughout the year. Solar radiation maps are highlighted on might sites throughout the Web. You can do a quick look for "solar radiation" to find one. They basically plot the amount of sunlight based upon time of year and physical area that will hit the United States in any provided location. Calculating the power from a solar power system. Divide the typical kWh daily by the average sun hours each day. For this example, we take 25 kWh divided by 5 hours of sun per day = 5 kW system This 5 kW system will create 25 kWhs under optimum conditions in direct sunlight for 5 hours, or 25 kWh on an average day with some at peak production and most of the sunlight at less than optimum angles. Future posts related to solar energy will continue to discuss the impacts of sun angle, reflection, and refraction on the style, output, and setup of photovoltaic panels.

Energy as it Refers to Solar Modules Individual solar modules that are measured in watts have a specific voltage (around 40 volts) and a particular amperage (around 5 amps). A solar module with 40 volts and 5 amps is called a 200-watt module, which implies that it has the potential to produce 200 watts of electrical energy when in direct sunshine, far from trees or shading, and clear of snow or debris. Considering that most electrical elements around your house are just ranked for 600 volts DC, it is uncommon to see a solar variety with a string larger the 15 solar modules. On the other hand, given that inverters require a minimum voltage or pressure to turn them on, you will rarely have a solar array with a string solar modules with a size smaller then 6. Electrical parts, like solar batteries, panel modules or batteries, can be connected in either series or parallel. This makes a huge distinction in the overall quantities of energy produced from the solar power system, along with the stability of the innovation with time. Each solar module or part has a favorable and a negative pole. In essence, this is the exact same method batteries have their negative and positive poles organized. Take a look at how you however batteries in a flashlight. Same idea here. The manner where these poles are linked makes a huge difference. Connect Solar Panels in Series When you link property solar energy systems in series, you connect the positive (+) pole on one element to the negative (-) pole on the next. When modules are connected in series, the voltages are included. Adding voltage together in this style produces a long chain of solar modules all collaborating, relying on each other, and developing a flow of existing that increases along the length of the system. These modules in series are called Strings. The average string is 8-12 modules so the voltage would be 320 - 480. Sadly, we experience some negative aspects of of this kind of building and construction.

Linking Solar Panels in Parallel When you link solar panels or components in parallel, you connect the panels so existing can travel to your inverter and to your home via multiple paths. Unlike including solar modules in series which increases the volume of existing as it goes, the solar panels connected in parallel has the effective of leaving the existing or volume of electrical power travelling through the system the same. Solar panels or strings of solar selections tied together in parallel are called parallel systems. Their amps are combined together but the total voltage stays the same. Including amps resembles increasing the volume, the pressure stays the very same but the volume increases. Inverters can just deal with so much volume so you will rarely see more than 1 to 3 strings in parallel; favorable ends to favorable ends with unfavorable ends to negative ends. Among the advantages of parallel connection is that electrical energy continues to flow, although one of the components (or strings) is damaged. If a system is entirely in series, one harmed part stops the whole system. You might keep in mind the ever-frustrating Christmas lights that were linked in series. Typically challenging to trouble shoot, strings of lights connected in series are tough to repair when one bulb burnt out. Now, the contemporary Christmas lights are linked in parallel. You can see this since there are 2 wires linking each light. You can feel this by means of their less frustrating upkeep and operation. Options for Residential Solar Energy Systems In this article, we explained in some detail how solar modules compute the power they produce in addition to how linking solar ranges in series or parallel can have a big impact on energy output in addition to intricacy of design. Our next article will cover how sun angle affects solar energy systems and the best ways to measure the solar energy produced from the sun. New solar power system rentals allow you to upgrade your the home of solar generated electricity with no big system to acquire. You can rent the solar energy devices had to create up to One Hundred Percent of your electricity requires. Exciting aspects related to clean, green solar power are emerging all around us.

About “The Inner World – The Last Windmonk”

The flute nose dynasty has been watching over Asposia for centuries on end. In secret, they fill the roly-poly world with light and life. Emil, a trader for odds and ends, has led all the Asposians astray, making them believe that the dynasty is in cahoots with dark forces. Seriously, who knows what this weird family is doing day in, day out?

The only one who could stop evil Emil is the heir to the flute nose throne: Robert. He has been petrified for three years, though. With a huge dose of enthusiasm, but little to no idea what he’s actually doing, he embarks on an adventure to find the legendary last wind monk. Of course, he has some great company: Peck, as loyal as he is flightless, and Laura, a rebel who certainly does fly, but only off the handle and who is Robert’s love with a capital L, by the way. A final ray of hope is provided by the mysterious Mama Dola, who seems to know more about Robert’s destiny than Robert himself…

Features

DAW | 1,623 words - but still not enough [re: everyone]

Dawson… was ready. He (thought) he knew what would come next, and he was prepared for it. Or, rather, as prepared as a man could be, before ultimately facing death.

Then death walked through the doors, alive as ever.

The folklorist stared, his head reeling as he tried to make sense of the situation. Listened, as his peers spoke - voices somehow more real than ever before, when they had been mere ghosts of themselves. Waited, for the questions about his crime, for O'Malley to pull away, for the escape via punishment that… seemed like it would not come. Not yet.

Shaking and miserable, Dawson was not. A man wrestling with his convictions… perhaps that was more apt.

His heart ached, seeing Dola again. Lucita again. Chirin again. Vixen and Chuck again. Basil again. He’d had no way of knowing that they’d be returning, somehow, some way. If he had, would he have held back? Dawson felt the familiar sting of loneliness, of loss - now more than ever, seeing them here, in the flesh. It was right that the people he longed to reach out to most sat furthest from him, out of reach. (Not that they would consider reaching back, at this point.) He watched their emotional reunions, aching for one of his own. Dawson withdraws his hand from O'Malley’s entirely, and places it in his lap.

Well, he’d made his bed. He could lay in it later - for now, answers.

“Ah, I suppose any questions I have can come later, hm?” he asks, green eyes slowly drifting from person to person. “You want to know the how, and I assume Prix’s not going to give us much time for the remainder of our discussion, so… Allow me lay it out plain, then. No point in hiding it, and no time to waste hashing it out.”

After inhaling deeply, he begins speaking, and does not pause for questions or sidelong glances. Dawson keeps his eyes trained to the table in front of him, as if looking anyone else in the eye might cause him to falter.

Even as he spoke, their words flooded his mind.

“This wasn’t as methodically planned as you probably assume. I didn’t sit and stew over wanting to kill [Basil] for weeks, plotting out my plan of attack. You saw the hasty cover-up - death hadn’t been my intention. Not at first.”

“I spoke to Basil a few weeks ago, about… more or less the same topic. The Wardens, whether our association with them might be able to lend itself to some use in understanding the tapes. I’ve been mulling those things over, since I realized they existed. How do they work? Why do they work? What combination of technology and magic allows these artifacts to function, and could we glean some sort of information from them? I’d hoped Basil would be able to assist.”

“… The conversation didn’t go anywhere, and I felt as though he’d been hiding things. Understandably, in hindsight, considering his feelings toward the Wardens - ah, and towards me.” You’re a real fuckin’ dick now. “Both of which I have been oblivious to, it seems. And since I seem to be rather skilled at drawing the ire of my peers around the topic of the tapes, I took it to the living members of my crew.” You cooooooooouldn’t wait until I was cold in the ground before pissing me off again. "Dola and Lucita were gone, but this was something we might be able to do. The three of us talked it over, decided to try and question Basil further. I asked [O'Malley] to stay behind, knowing that I didn’t want to put him into the middle of my own theories - and knowing his closeness to Pan. However, we decided Fievel would tag along, just in case anything did go awry - and to be a second set of ears to hear what Basil might have to say.“

"The plan was to question him, then bring the information back to the rest of the group to discuss and figure out how we’d handle it from there, together." …But you have never listened to me anyway. "Fievel and I went to the theme park to test out his abilities in a larger body of water. If anything went wrong, we wanted to be able to stun Basil - not kill him. You saw the results of those tests - the People Mover was drained of power, the fish in the lagoon had been killed. Not exactly a thorough means of training, but good enough to know how much or how little charge to use in the moment.”

“… I met with Basil that night, in the lobby of the Modern building. We were headed toward the Old Time Bar via the Oasis, and I stopped to discuss things there, where Fievel had hidden himself. I brought the tranquilizer gun with me, tucked into a pocket, just in case. The conversation… didn’t go anywhere, again. Ah, it got a little heated.” Yo-ou gave him no escape, forced him to dig up terrible memories for your own satisfaction, to satisfy your own theory crafting–! “I pushed Basil into the pool, and yelled out to Fievel. I think what happened next is obvious. We quickly retrieved Basil from the water, and restrained him with the bedsheets I’d cut earlier, preparing for an interrogation once he woke up. I’d tossed most of them into a bucket of bleach, not anticipating needing them all… but ended up using them, anyway. I’m not a master of tying knots.”

“Which is clear, since Basil broke free from his restraints upon waking up, after Fievel had already left to recharge. I pulled out the gun, but didn’t shoot. Basil started to use his powers - light radiated from his hands. It was bright, I dropped the gun, I, ah… I panicked.”

Beneath the table, Dawson knits his hands together. He wouldn’t force O'Malley to comfort him through this. He could hardly look to Smee for support, now that Dola was back with them. He’d put enough on Tanya, after killing her close friend. His quadmates couldn’t be expected to carry him anymore.

But still, the image of the light… It seared through his memory, like a seven-year-old boy, back in the forest amidst a thunderstorm. His heart beat faster with every clap of thunder, until he saw that flash of light, and everything went dark. His mind turned to static, and his body moved on its own. Dawson squeezed his hands together, knuckles draining white.

“I rushed Basil. He was still weak from the shock. I thought his reaction to my questions was proof enough that he might have had something to do with the tapes as a whole. The traitors. And… I figured that the only way our group would be able to make an actionable decision would be here, in the boardroom, with a vote.” If you don’t want what happened to [Chuck] to happen to Fievel or Dawson, vote for me. "Even if it meant facing my own death in exchange for murdering an old colleague, I… wanted to bring us back here.“

Finally, he pauses for longer than a breath between paragraphs. It’s a lot to take in. It’s a lot to put out. There’s no catharsis, no release of the weight from his shoulders. They droop, as if holding more weight - as if each explanation only adds to it, rather than allowing it to lift.

”… I’m not going to re-hash all the details about trying to cover it up. Most of you saw it, anyway. And I’m not going to excuse my actions, either. Ah… What was it I said, last time we were here? ‘Every single one of us has something that can justify the crimes we might commit, or the crimes we might overlook.’“ You didn’t get it none. Guess, guess you do now. ”I suppose in that moment, I felt that the ends justified the means, despite being unforgiveable.“

His eyes pan to Knuckles, next to him. A gaze that reads, I understand now, affixed to an expression that laments, I don’t want to.

After a few moments of this, he turns his face to meet the eyes of those who had asked him questions. To Campion, to Chirin, to Dola - a pause, however brief - to Tanya, to Chuck, to… as many faces as he could, before returning back to the table.

"I think the connection of the case to the traitors is clear, isn’t it? I wanted to question [Basil] based on my assumption that he could have done something to help explain - or at least more effectively look into - the tapes, and how they worked, perhaps lead us to a connection to the traitors. I killed him because of his reaction; I assumed he was one of the traitors, and wanted to bring us back here to discuss and vote on it. If I was going to kill anyone, at least it would have been…”

He trails off. Easier? Better? One fewer person to have to kill later?

“… one out of the two traitors. I know that so many of us were content to living here for however much longer - but why would we trust Prix on her word, or lack thereof? And none of us knew that we’d be reunited at all, let alone so soon.”

“I would not have done what I did, had I known everyone would return. That we might have been able to get this chance without the need for such drastic action. But I can’t undo my mistakes, so ah, perhaps all I can say now is…”

The regret permeates throughout his body as Dawson finally allows his eyes to settle on Basil.

“Welcome back.”
