Bones In Magick And Divination

The long-standing tradition of using skulls and bones in magick dates back ages, yet it is a topic often overlooked in modern witchcraft, leaving many unsure of how to incorporate them. There are many excellent ways to use these mystical objects and their potent energy within your craft.

Some Ethics:

• Never harm an animal simply to obtain its bones for magickal purposes.

• It's best to find bones in nature or buy them from a trustworthy supplier.

• Remember to pay respect to the animal whose bones you are using.

Archetypal Energy

Because bones contain DNA they are not only spiritually, but biologically connected to the animal they came from and all its ancestors. This makes bones powerful totems and talismans that embody the qualities of that animal. This is important to consider when wearing bones or using them as vessels and guardians.

The House Skull

Bones and skulls carry a lot of protective energy. One traditional use for a skull was that of a house guardian. These skulls are usually given a place of prominence in the home and often adorned, painted or decorated. A ritual can be performed to invite the spirit of the animal back to use the skull as a vessel. A binding sigil can be used for this as well as to tie the spirit/skull to you and your home. Skulls are commonly stained red or black to embue them with more protective power.

Crafting

Bones and skulls can be used in creating magickal tools and crafts as well. Long bones and antlers make unique and powerful wands. Skulls can be mounted or hung. Smaller bones can be used to make things like witches ladders and chimes. They make powerful jewelry pieces and charms.

Bones In Spellwork

There are many applications for bones in spellwork including spirit/deity work, necromancy, and ancestral work. They carry the general correspondences of protection, healing, strength, stability, growth, life, and death. Bones are also used in baneful workings and binding. They can be used much like crystals. Each type of bone carries its own magickal properties and can be utilized in rituals, offerings, and as a component in spell jars/bags or poppets. They can be ground into bone powder for general purposes or burnt to bone ash for darker workings.

Bone Correspondences:

• Skull- Thoughts, power, divination, spirit, truth, higher realms

• Teeth- Communication, destruction, control

• Spine- Stability, strength, confidence energy

• Rib- Agility, shielding, abundance, vitality

• Arm- Harmony, balance, duality, physical interaction

• Hand/fingers- Skill, creativity, accuracy, progress

• Wrist/ankle- Flexibility, connection, fluidity

• Leg- Edurance, momentum, travel, change

• Foot/toe- Speed, stealth, balance, luck, prosperity

• Shoulder/hip- Structure, permanence, support, rest

• Tail- Secrecy, sudden events, change in luck, accidents/mishaps

• Claws/nails- Conflict, damage, persistence, defense

• Horns/antlers- Penetration, protection, determination, destruction, harm, nature(can represent The Horned God)

Throwing The Bones

Bones have have been used as a medium for divination for centuries, by many different people and belief systems. Today, it is unfortunately a dying art. It is still practiced sporadically, however and is referred to as osteomancy or curiomancy. Some practitioners choose to use only bones, while others include a variety of things in their kit. Some suggestions include:

• Charms

• Shells

• Coins

• Keepsakes

• Stones

• Toys/figures

• Items from nature

• Found objects

Once you have your items gathered, set to the task of assigning meaning to each bone/object. What feelings does it elicit for you? What does it make you think of? Write down your meanings in a grimoire or designated book. Find a bag or pouch to hold your 'bones'.

To cast your bones simply "shuffle" them around in the bag with your fingers, similar to shuffling a deck of tarot cards. Once you or the person being read are content with their thought/question, grab whatever is within your palm and cast them in a circular motion. For smaller kits, you may cast all your objects at once and use their location to interpret the message. Some read the bones in a spiral, while others use quadrants, rings, or even complex maps/spreads. You can use a cloth with a circle drawn on it or any symbols/design you feel appropriate. Each spread, style, and kit will be unique to its creator.

Hello Pia how are you? Not really an ask but more sending thanks and love for all of your writing. I've been a reader for over a year now and am still in awe of your skill (and speed!). I've been getting back into writing and struggling with feeling inadequate or like my stuff reads childishly, as a result I can barely get out 5k aha, but I'm working viewing it as a lifelong dedication to improvement. (On a side note: your work got my teenaged self to snap out of purity wank, forever grateful!)

Hi anon,

It is so awesome that you're getting back into writing!

Honestly, it is a sign of a kind of growth to notice the things you don't like in your writing, because if you feel it reads childishly (and I bet it doesn't all read like that, or most of it doesn't), that means you have skillsets already to aim towards. You can see how you want to get better. This is a skill!!! It's a more painful skill, and it's not a good one to listen to all the time, but it's a good skill to have.

When it feels dispiriting you can balance it out by intentionally looking for and writing down your strengths as well, and writing more of those. It might be only a few lines, or it might be all of the dialogue, or it might be the descriptions, but there will be strengths too!

Also 5k is impressive! Everyone writes differently. It took Mark Z Danielewski 10 years to write House of Leaves, and I love that book a very great deal. Quantity =/= quality, and you also have to remember I've been doing this in a pretty focused way for 10 years! Trust me, if you did this in a focused way for 10 years, you'd be in a different place with your output (which isn't obligation to do this for that long, just that...things take time <3 )

I'm glad you were able to snap out of the purity wank mindset anon, it's a tough one to be in, because it makes you feel like you're not safe in your own mind, and after a while it shuts down curiosity because it feels like everything you're interested in has to be examined just in case it's a moral trap or says something 'terrible' about you if you show interest in it. And that's really hard! It makes sense to me why so many antis kind of really lock into what they think and believe, because they've gotten so used to treating themselves with paranoia, how can they not treat others that way?

And that's a miserable way to live. It's the opposite of benefit of the doubt.

So being able to separate from that is incredible! And that's a tribute to your own curiosity in the world, and interest in exploring different ways of doing things, and I think that's really cool. :D

Leadership and Charisma:

Reflecting his personality in Hetalia, America would likely be a leader both on and off the field. His confidence and enthusiasm would make him a natural leader, inspiring and motivating his teammates.

The upcoming supermoon of October 17  is in the sign of Aries. The sun in Libra. The full moon brings to light, among other things, themes that require change. The energy of Aries can be used to make decisions in this regard. Libra's energy can be used to make the choice of change well-considered. 

The first seal

The drawing illustrates the white horse and the rider, inspired by the symbolism from the Biblical story of the first seal, as described in the Book of Revelation. In short it is about conquest and symbolizes victories and new initiatives. The white horse symbolizes an external, often conflictual force.The warrior is often interpreted as a symbol of conquest and victory, but also of a period of great changes and challenges. In the story the rider carries a bow and receives a crown. These are missing in the illustration. In the background is incorporated the first chakra, the Muladhara, which stands for a feeling of being grounded, safety and surviving. 

Muladhara

The first chakra, also called the root chakra, is located at the base of the spine and represents survival, safety and a sense of groundedness. It is connected to the physical world and our basic needs such as food, shelter and safety. A sense of being grounded means that you feel stable, balanced and connected to yourself and your surroundings. It involves being aware of the present moment and your physical body, which helps to reduce stress and anxiety. What is needed to be grounded is: stability, a sense of security and having both feet on the ground. Awareness: of thoughts, feelings and body without being overwhelmed. Peace, there is a sense of calm and inner peace. Resilience, the ability to cope with stress and challenges.

Symbolic meaning of the drawing

Both, the horse and warrior,  reflect the fiery Aries in their eyes. The landscape that surrounds them, depicts the calm harmony of Libra. The person in the drawing is not clearly a man or a woman, because the rider can be either. It is interesting to see that the bow and the receiving of the crown are missing in this picture. This could indicate that the rider is on its way to receive a crown, but is still developing an important skill, symbolizing the bow. The rider will receive the crown when she has developed a connection between the bow and the goal. It symbolizes ways used to achieve a goal in communication with the greatest speed, accuracy and focus. 

In another perspective, it is possible that this woman has already developed the skill, but does not yet realize it. She may not yet feel safe enough to use this quality. The drawing shows that the rider has become stuck in a situation, out of fear of making a change. The 'warrior' in the rider has the ability to change this and accelerate at the speed of shooting an arrow. The goal can be achieved by being alert, seeing connections and seizing opportunities. The coronation follows when the goal is achieved.

Symbolic and spiritual comparison:

Transformation and Beginnings: 

Both symbols mark a starting point. The first seal opens a series of events leading to transformation and change, while the first chakra provides the foundation for personal growth and stability.

Safety and Challenge: 

The first chakra is about security and grounding, while the first seal announces a period of challenges and possible imbalance. Both can be seen as necessary steps for growth and evolution.

Physical and Spiritual World: 

The first chakra is strongly connected to the physical world and our basic needs, while the first seal has a spiritual and symbolic meaning that extends beyond the physical.

You came to my blog and saw this drawing. Does it resonate with your current situation?

@spitedriven -🪱 assan vc: worms!

NORMALLY THIS IS SOMETHING HE WOULD DO IN THE QUIET ENVIRONS OF HIS OWN ROOM, for no particularly targeted reason beyond it presents a place where he can gather his thoughts in privacy.  But he currently has one of Bellara's notebooks balanced on one knee, where he's sat at the low table in the corner of the kitchen, open to a set of proofs she's requested he look over, scribbling his thoughts on a  loose sheet of paper on the other for her to peruse later at her leisure - and then he's unceremoniously yanked from thoughts of oscillatory motion in the Fade by a question of worms, of all things.

“Oh, worms are fascinating creatures, so often overlooked, but a necessary and invaluable component of decay and growth.”  He dashes off the end of one more thought and puts his pen aside, along with the notebook and ink-wet paper (he's forgotten his blotter cloth in his room, so it will just have to air dry), to have both hands free to punctuate his point.  “The humble earthworm, flatworms, nematodes - all serve as vectors for decomposition not only of plant matter in soil, but of decaying flesh, as well.”

There have, of course, been attempts in the Necropolis to breed a variant of flatworm, much as with the beetles, to use as a method of quickly stripping a corpse to the skeletal state, but they have been…Less successful in that endeavor than hoped, as the trials to maintain them on only decaying flesh have been…Well, they simply don't bear mentioning.  More than one researcher has lost a patch of flesh to the oversized specimens, and there is one he knows for sure is missing an entire finger.

They also lack the pet appeal that the beetles have amongst certain circles as the water required to maintain them is…Something of a check in the red column for funding and resources, due to their inefficiency..  

“The nutrients they cast off from what they consume truly makes a marked difference in soil quality, and one only has to look to the Anderfels to know how very important decomposers are to the decay cyc-”

There he stops, mid-word, freezing in place for a moment as his brow furrows and his gaze slides into the middle distance, no longer seeing the small table littered with his papers and pen, Bellara's notebook, as he works through the rest of the question as it catches up.  

He almost wrenches his own neck at the speed with which he whips around to pin Lucanis (and Spite) with an incredulous look, eyes wide.  “What?”

Understanding Cloud VPS: How It Differs from Traditional VPS Hosting

As online presence has become important, determining which hosting service to choose has become one of the essential business decisions. There are two well-known options: Cloud VPS and Traditional VPS, and each has distinct characteristics and benefits. Understanding their differences can help you choose the hosting solution that has all the features you want for your website. Let us explore the distinction between Cloud VPS and Traditional VPS hosting.

VPS Hosting: The Building Block

Practically, VPS hosting is a reality of virtualization technology, and it includes the segmentation of a physical server into several virtual areas. Each VPS works as stand-alone units, providing users with distinct and reserved assets, greater governance, as well as enhanced security as compared to sharing resources with others (like in shared hosting). This type of unit is perfect for those who want more than shared hosting, but do not wish to have a dedicated server.

Traditional VPS Hosting: What to Expect

An underlying issue with Traditional VPS hosting is that a physical server hosts several distinct virtual servers which are partitions of the single physical server. Individual computational units, such as CPU and memory resource denominating units, are assigned to every partition (virtual server instance) separately.

Benefits of Traditional VPS:

Allocated Resources: Each Virtual Private Server has been allocated dedicated assets alone and hence given room for performance stability.

Steady Environment: All available resources for the servers or applications are set, hence high reliability in performance.

Increased Security: Geo-segmentation of virtual servers result in the captivity of data to determined borders hence more security.

Disadvantages of Traditional VPS:

Potential Growth is Lower: Moving to a new server is often required because scaling specially target resources at taking out the entire current server.

Singe Instance of Trouble: At the incident of some hardware fault on the server all VPS (virtual private servers) instances that were hosted there are affected.

Static Division of Resources: Adjustment on the availability of certain resources at any one time is difficult hence, may cause frustrations in the management of traffic surges.

Cloud VPS Hosting: The Adaptable Approach

Cloud VPS hosting employs a cloud based virtualization technology that allows connection of several servers over a network cloud. Such a structure cultivates flexibility, quick growth and more strength since resources are sourced from several servers rather than one.

Cloud VPS benefits:

Scalable with ease: Resources are completely adjustable and scaling does not involve any upgrades.

Reduced Downtime: The chances of a server going down are drastically reduced because the workload is handled by multiple servers.

Improved Performance Levels: Traffic across servers is balanced to achieve efficiency and a rush is experienced even when the level of activity is busy.

Pay Per Use: The per minute charge system means that costs only increase when the resources increase.

Cloud VPS disadvantages:

Unstable Prices: Servers that bill based on resources consumed means the expense for that month can be somewhat erratic.

Location Issues: This can be a contentious issue due to the fact that all data is kept distributed over many servers in some heavily regulated industries.

Network Dependency: Understandably, the performance of Cloud based VPS is determined by the Internet connection quality; slower networks tend to hamper the speed at which the resources are accessed.

4. Which VPS Option is Right for You?

Choose Traditional VPS if:

You are looking to operate in a more stable and consistent environment.

Your website experiences traffic that is steady and within reasonable limits.

You would like to pay a fixed monthly fee without any variations.

Choose Cloud VPS if:

You are looking for more flexibility and expansion options.

Your site receives fluctuating and irregular visits, or seasonal peaks.

It is essential for your organization to experience high availability and low downtime.

5. Final Thoughts

There are benefits as well as different uses associated with Cloud VPS and Traditional VPS. For example, Cloud VPS offers agility, growth potential, and dependability and is therefore suitable for businesses that are poised for expansion and need to cope with abrupt increases in demand for the products marketed online. On the other hand, Traditional VPS is a great and affordable option for people seeking a certain fixed resource and where variability is not a major factor.

Remember that it is crucial to choose the right type of VPS when starting a website. The difference in performance, online presence, and cost can be widely affected by the host one chooses, making it imperative to adapt the virtual private servers to the needs of the business.

Expert Website Developer in Dubai: Building Custom Solutions for Your Business Success

In the heart of the Middle East, where innovation meets tradition, businesses are continuously seeking ways to stand out in a crowded marketplace. As digital presence becomes paramount for success, enlisting an expert website developer in Dubai has never been more crucial. Imagine a tailored online platform that not only reflects your brand's identity but also engages customers and drives conversions—this is where specialized web development comes into play. With a bustling economy and a tech-savvy populace, Dubai offers limitless opportunities for local entrepreneurs and global companies alike.

Importance of Custom Solutions for Businesses

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the importance of custom solutions cannot be overstated. Off-the-shelf software might initially seem cost-effective, but it often fails to address the unique challenges and objectives that individual companies face. By investing in tailored solutions, businesses can optimize their operations, enhance customer experiences, and ultimately drive growth more effectively. For instance, a skilled website developer in Dubai can create bespoke platforms that align perfectly with local market needs and cultural nuances, ensuring better engagement and conversion rates.

Moreover, custom solutions provide scalability that standard products simply can't match. As businesses expand or adapt to new market trends, a flexible system designed specifically for their workflows can easily grow alongside them. This adaptability extends not just to features but also to integration capabilities with existing technologies—vital for maintaining a cohesive operational framework. Harnessing the expertise of a proficient website developer in Dubai means harnessing innovation that’s not just current but anticipatory of future demands, giving firms a competitive edge built on responsiveness rather than reactive adjustments. Such foresight is critical as businesses navigate an ever-changing digital terrain where agility is key to survival and success.

Key Features of Successful Websites

A successful website is often characterized by its user-centric design and seamless navigation. One of the key features that sets high-performing websites apart is their ability to engage visitors quickly through intuitive layouts and visual hierarchy. Elements such as clear call-to-action buttons, responsive design, and well-organized content ensure that users can effortlessly find the information they seek. A website developer in Dubai understands that optimizing for mobile devices is crucial in today's digital landscape, where an increasing number of users browse on smartphones.

Another essential aspect is the website’s loading speed; slow sites can deter visitors faster than any poorly designed layout. Implementing efficient coding practices along with image optimization are strategies used by a skilled website developer in Dubai to enhance performance without sacrificing quality. Beyond aesthetics and functionality, incorporating high-quality content that resonates with the target audience builds trust and encourages repeat visits. Ultimately, a balance between creativity and technical prowess creates websites that not only look good but also perform exceptionally well in driving conversions and building brand loyalty.

Services Offered by Expert Developers

Expert developers offer a myriad of services tailored to the unique needs of businesses, especially in vibrant markets like Dubai. As a leading website developer in Dubai, these professionals don't just create visually appealing websites; they craft comprehensive digital experiences that resonate with local audiences. This includes everything from responsive design frameworks to seamless e-commerce solutions that allow businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Moreover, expert developers are well-versed in employing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance user engagement and streamline operations. By leveraging data analytics tools, they provide insights into consumer behavior, enabling clients to make informed decisions that drive growth. Collaborative efforts between developers and clients ensure personalized services, including search engine optimization strategies uniquely suited for the Dubai market. Ultimately, engaging a proficient website developer in Dubai can transform your online presence into a powerful business asset capable of attracting and retaining customers effortlessly.

Responsive Design for Mobile and Desktop

Responsive design is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity for any website developer in Dubai aiming to create an effective online presence. With the UAE boasting one of the highest smartphone penetration rates globally, sites must seamlessly adapt to various screen sizes and orientations. A well-executed responsive design not only enhances user experience by delivering optimal viewing across devices but also boosts SEO rankings—an essential factor for businesses targeting local and international audiences.

Moreover, responsive design goes beyond mere aesthetics; it reflects a deeper understanding of user behavior and accessibility. For instance, implementing fluid grids and flexible images ensures that content remains easily navigable, regardless of whether it’s viewed on a desktop or mobile device. This versatility becomes crucial as users shift increasingly toward mobile browsing patterns. As a website developer in Dubai embraces these principles, they can craft web designs that reflect the dynamic nature of modern consumer habits while positioning their clients ahead in an ever-competitive marketplace.

E-commerce Solutions for Online Retailers

In the rapidly evolving landscape of online retail, choosing the right e-commerce solutions can make or break a business. Online retailers are increasingly leaning toward customizable platforms that not only cater to their unique branding but also provide seamless user experiences. The demand for intuitive designs and efficient checkout processes highlights the crucial role of a skilled website developer in Dubai who can integrate advanced functionalities like AI-driven product recommendations and adaptive mobile layouts. 

Furthermore, leveraging data analytics tools within these solutions will enable retailers to gain deeper insights into customer behavior, optimizing their marketing strategies in real-time. As competition intensifies, online shops must embrace technologies such as augmented reality for virtual try-ons or personalized shopping experiences—features that resonate with today's digitally-savvy consumers. Collaborating closely with a talented website developer in Dubai ensures that these innovative elements are effectively integrated into an online store’s framework, paving the way for enhanced engagement and conversion rates. Ultimately, staying ahead demands not just adopting e-commerce trends but strategically aligning them with your business goals to cultivate lasting success.

SEO Strategies Integrated into Development

Integrating SEO strategies directly into the development process is a game-changer for website developers in Dubai who aspire to create high-performing sites from the ground up. One innovative approach involves prioritizing a mobile-first design, as more users access websites through their smartphones.

Stardew Valley mod rec compilation

this is a regular question asked on the discord so I wanted to put together my own constant pack to link.

These are NOT all mods I use. These are the mods I’m **completely confident **in recommending together, that definitely work well, combine well and won’t create any cognitive dissonance.

(Note that I’m not listing any prerequisites. Whichever mod you’re installing, you obviously need to install its prerequisites too)

(Most of these are on Nexus, but not all. MARGO is on GitHub, for example. Search on Nexus first, then duckduckgo or google it if it’s not there)

Utility if-you’re-modding: (mods that maybe won’t improve your game per se and you don’t want to install Just Them if you’re picking and choosing, but if you’re already using other mods, you want to look at these)

Advanced Save Backup (obvious function is obvious, don’t let mod fuckups permanently ruin your save)

Generic Mod Config Menu (absolutely mandatory if you’re installing like… >1 other mod)

CJB Cheats Menu + CJB Item Spawner (the more mods you have the more likely you’ll need this to recover after glitches. There are vanilla bugs you might want this to help you with too)

Jump Over (or noclip, in case you get stuck somewhere)

Mod Update Menu (fully optional, but might be nice)

Quality of Life (mods that I’m completely confident work well together and will improve your game withough particularly changing it. You do want to meddle in config for many of these though. Increase complexity at your own pace)

Action Sitting

After Midnight Speed Buff

Easy Coal

Balanced Quarry

Better Artisan Good Icons

Better Beehouses

Better Chests

Better Ranching (turn off “prevent failed harvesting” in config, add Fix Animal Tool Animations for that functionality instead)

Part of the Community

Passive Friendship

Friend of a Friend

Visual (This is specifically the combination I use, that I know for a fact works well and looks good together. These are mods that don’t alter any mechanics or add any content and mostly don’t impact balance, they’re purely to make the game look better)

Custom Menu Background

Better Water

Cuter Coops and Better Barns or Coop and Barn Facelift

Darker Vanilla Crops

Darker Vanilla Forage

Dialogue + NPCs (Thoroughly vetted - exclusively the mods that don’t create any contradictory lore, fit fully with vanilla, and might make you feel like vanilla was always intended to be this way)

Dusty Overhaul

Community Wednesdays and Community Center Reimagined

David the Hamster

Demetrius Visits Farm Cave Redux

Immersive Spouses

Jean and Jorts

Social Haley

Unlikely Friends

Immersive Sandy

Make the game more fun (This is a fairly diverse category - these are the mods that will substantially alter the game and give it a decidedly non-vanilla feel and balance, but that I’m willing to vouch for as fun, non-conflicting, non-glitchy and not making your life harder. Some of them are smaller than others)

Walk to Desert Redux

Cat gifts

Deep Woods

Farmhouse visits

Festival of the Mundane

Hot Spring Farm Cave (or another farm cave mod)

Free Love pack (This is for the people who think SV is nice in allowing the player to date multiple people, but unnecessarily restrictive in allowing them to only marry one of them.

Need extensive configuring, usually, so pay attention when you install them)

Bed Tweaks

Custom Spouse Patio Redux (this one can glitch, but Map Editor Extended has fixed it for me fine every time)

One of my greatest anxieties about being a would-be author is the state of the world of publishing. To be fair my knowledge of it is limited. I don't think it's a world you know much about unless you have already traveled to it by being published, if you are a native there as an editor or publisher, or if you are on the outside looking at brochures for the place hoping to one day board whatever train it is that can take you there so your ideas and manuscripts can become published works. The workings of the publishing industry aren't common knowledge to most people, most probably because why would it need to be? Authors author the books. Publishers publish the books. Readers read the books. Why should the reader need to know what's going on in the other parts of the process? Their part is simple; go to the library or the bookstore, acquire the book, and read it.

But as someone who is part of that last category, the reader, trying to enter into the first category, the author, the blind spot I have for how the second category does its job causes me a great deal of stress. And, to top it all off, reports are fairly constant now that the world of publishing is, like mostly every other industry, overrun now with the idea of cheap and forgettable products. Ursula K LeGuin, on her blog back in the 2010's once talked about publishing and why she wouldn't let certain parts of the industry get their hands on her books, or her, if she could help it. She equated, as many people I have read do, the way books are published at breakneck speed, with little substance and even less polish to how fast food and convenience food appeals to the masses. It's quick. It's cheap. It's forgettable. It might nourish you, but it's certainly not everything you need to survive. I might add, that cases where that is the only source of nourishment available are also deplorable, especially in a society where our resources are almost limitless if we weren't so focused on profit and growth only. Fast food is great sometimes, and can fill gaps when other more wholesome nourishment is lacking or unavailable, but eventually everyone needs something more. Eventually everyone has to have something more filling and healthful. For food, that can be a home-cooked meal or even simply a more balanced meal that provides more nutrients. Something that feeds your body, and in some cases, can expand your horizons. For books, its something that feeds your soul, that challenges you, and equally, something that expands your horizons. Unfortunately, publishing is often easier for "fast food" literature. It sells well, it sells a lot, and it doesn't take a lot of time and resources to publish. And for a lot of people, that's the primary source of literature they consume.

But what about the people who don't want to write "fast food" literature? What about the people who don't want to read "fast food" literature? What happens when the only source left is the fast and palatable? What happens when someone comes along with something new and exciting, but it's not as marketable so it simply fizzles to nothing. It loses the chance to expand horizons. It loses the chance to be the main course of someone's banquet of words, edged out by the fast food that's spoiled the reader's appetite.

The rise and risk of AI are a symptom of this problem. Low cost, low quality, fast turnover, fast production. Growth, growth, growth, growth, growth. And authors suffer because of it, but I think, probably more importantly, readers do as well. With nothing to expand our horizons and nourish our souls, our horizons and our souls atrophy. All because it makes publishers and shareholders money. The consumer, the reader, the eater, the artist, the author be damned.

Guillermo Del Toro I think put it well in a recent interview in London, speaking about generative AI:

“A.I. has demonstrated that it can do semi-compelling screensavers... The value of art is not how much it costs and how little effort it requires, it’s how much would you risk to be in its presence? How much would people pay for those screensavers? Are they gonna make them cry because they lost a son? A mother? Because they misspent their youth? Fuck no.”

Call me pompous, or prideful, or full of myself. Call me whatever you want, but I want to make art that requires risk. I want to make art that makes you challenge yourself and question yourself. I want to make art that has something to say and that makes you feel the entire spectrum of human emotion.

But I worry that I will lose that chance, unable to compete, as many chefs, painters, digital artists, and other types of creators around the world are unable to compete, by the rampant unchecked trend toward cheap, easy to consume, easy to produce junk.

[elapsed-spiral]

So, here we are, the end of the road season two. Mostly just for my own benefit, I thought I'd put my initial thoughts under a cut.

The good

Overall, I think S2 is way better than S1. It's a more confident, polished show that understands its own tone.

S2 is so much funnier than S1.

I seriously did not expect them to dig that deep with Ed and Stede's characterisation, especially the MH issues. It's impressive how they balanced very believable, heart wrenching depictions of trauma with laugh out loud jokes.

The Ed/Stede of it all was really well done. The chemistry is still off the charts, the ups and downs are classic romcom, the failures to communicate never feel contrived.

The settings and costumes and music are all so good/better than S1, imo.

Captain Frenchie!!!

The not so good

I think people have tried to blame too much stuff on the reduction in episode count but I think it's fair to say the pacing suffered, especially from episode six onward.

I found the Olu/Zheng storyline pointless and unbelievable. I think they could have given Zheng beef with Stede and the Revenge crew without it, and it's baffling to me that they threw away Olu and Jim's character development in S1 for it. Olu felt dumbed down and uninteresting by comparison to S1, which is a shame.

I think they really struggled to know what to do with Lucius, AKA previously one of the funniest characters who is now traumatised and not so funny. When there was humour it largely made light of Lucius' trauma which feels off for a show that otherwise takes trauma seriously.

I do not get Izzy's character arc and feel like a lot of that was cut for time. It felt like they really wanted him to fill the funny confidante void left by Lucius. There were just too many leaps in his development and growth for me to buy how drastic a transformation he underwent. And now, post-finale, I do and don't get his death. His dying words were heartfelt but hackneyed.

Not enough close up shots of faces during kisses and emotional scenes, which would be fine if they'd lit the damn show, but they didn't, so I often couldn't see a thing.

Overall, the biggest issue seemed to be that they speed ran the remaining plot, presumably out of a desire to ensure people got a satisfying-ish resolution if they don't get renewed. That's a kind ambition but I fear it hasn't worked.

That feels like a lot of negatives but honestly, I don't really see them that way because they got the important stuff right, AKA Ed and Stede's relationship. I've constantly been surprised by where S2 has gone and I'm so impressed by the quality overall. Here's hoping for S3.

The Art And Science Of Hair Transplants

Hair loss can deeply impact self-esteem and quality of life, prompting many to seek solutions like hair transplants. Beyond merely restoring hair, modern hair transplantation blends meticulous surgical techniques with artistic principles to achieve natural-looking results. This exploration delves into the fusion of art and science in hair transplants, examining how advancements in technology and surgical expertise have transformed the field and for more information visit Hair Transplant Brighton.

The Science Behind Hair Transplants:

Hair transplantation is rooted in the understanding of hair growth and follicular dynamics. The two primary techniques, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), differ in how donor hair follicles are harvested and transplanted. FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, dissecting it into individual follicular units under a microscope, and then transplanting them to the recipient site. FUE, on the other hand, uses a punch tool to extract individual follicular units directly from the scalp, which are then transplanted one by one. Both techniques aim to relocate hair follicles from areas of dense hair growth (donor sites) to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning (recipient sites), ensuring natural-looking results.

Artistry in Hairline Design:

Creating a natural hairline is where the artistry of hair transplantation truly shines. Surgeons meticulously design the hairline to complement facial features, ethnicity, and age, taking into account natural hair growth patterns and density. The angle, direction, and distribution of transplanted follicles are carefully planned to mimic the natural flow of hair, ensuring seamless integration with existing hair and a balanced aesthetic appearance. This artistic approach requires both technical skill and an understanding of the patient's aesthetic goals, resulting in a hairline that enhances facial symmetry and restores confidence.

Technological Advancements:

Advancements in technology have revolutionized the precision and efficiency of hair transplant procedures. Robotic systems like ARTAS utilize artificial intelligence to assist surgeons in harvesting and transplanting follicular units with unparalleled accuracy. These systems enhance the speed and accuracy of follicle extraction, reduce trauma to donor areas, and optimize graft survival rates. Additionally, advanced imaging techniques such as high-definition cameras and digital mapping tools enable surgeons to visualize the scalp in greater detail, facilitating precise graft placement and enhancing overall procedural outcomes.

Patient-Centered Care:

Beyond technical proficiency, patient-centered care is integral to successful hair transplants. Surgeons conduct thorough consultations to understand each patient's unique concerns, preferences, and expectations. They educate patients about available treatment options, discuss realistic outcomes, and tailor treatment plans to achieve individualized aesthetic goals. Throughout the process, from pre-operative preparation to post-operative care, patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction remain paramount. This personalized approach fosters trust and collaboration between patients and their medical team, ensuring a positive experience and optimal results.

Post-Operative Recovery and Follow-Up:

Post-operative care plays a crucial role in the success of hair transplants. Patients are provided with detailed instructions on caring for the transplant site, managing discomfort, and promoting healing. While recovery times vary, most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days to weeks following surgery. Regular follow-up appointments allow surgeons to monitor graft growth, assess healing progress, and address any concerns or questions that may arise. Continued support and guidance throughout the recovery process contribute to long-term satisfaction and confidence in the results of hair transplantation.

Ethical Considerations:

Ethical considerations in hair transplantation encompass informed consent, patient autonomy, and transparency regarding potential risks and benefits. Surgeons adhere to professional guidelines and ethical standards to ensure that patients make informed decisions based on accurate information. They prioritize patient well-being and strive to achieve natural-looking results while managing expectations realistically. Ethical practice also involves ongoing education and training to stay abreast of advancements in the field, uphold professional integrity, and provide compassionate care to individuals seeking hair restoration.

Conclusion:

The art and science of hair transplants epitomize the intersection of technical expertise and artistic vision, transforming lives by restoring natural hair growth and enhancing self-confidence. Through meticulous surgical techniques, advancements in technology, and patient-centered care, hair transplantation offers effective solutions for individuals experiencing hair loss. Surgeons combine scientific knowledge with artistic skill to design natural-looking hairlines that harmonize with facial features and reflect each patient's unique identity. As the field continues to evolve with research, innovation, and ethical practice, the promise of hair transplants remains steadfast in providing enduring solutions and renewed confidence to those seeking to reclaim their crowning glory.

How to top exams in 10 days

Stressed about finishing your syllabus on time? Don't worry! Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create an effective schedule and stay on track with your studies.

Analyze and Break Down Your Syllabus

Start by analyzing the entire syllabus for all subjects. Break it down into manageable sections and allocate dedicated time for each. Make sure the schedule is realistic and takes into account your strengths and weaknesses in different subjects.

Prioritize and Balance

Consider the complexity of each topic and prioritize accordingly. High-weightage topics should receive more attention, but don't neglect weaker areas entirely. Balancing your study load is key to preventing burnout.

Integrate Breaks

Incorporate breaks into your schedule to maintain focus and prevent mental fatigue. Short breaks between study sessions can significantly enhance productivity. Use this time to relax, stretch, or engage in a brief physical activity.

Regular Review and Adjustment

Regularly review and adjust your schedule as needed. Flexibility is crucial, especially if unexpected events or challenges arise. Be realistic about your capabilities and make necessary modifications to stay on track.

Allocate Time for Review Sessions

Set aside specific days or time blocks dedicated solely to reviewing previously covered topics. Create a systematic approach, starting with the oldest material and progressing to more recent ones. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the entire syllabus.

Complete Daily Practice Papers or Mock Tests

Start by simulating exam conditions during practice sessions. Use a quiet space, time yourself, and adhere to the same rules and constraints that will apply during the actual exam. Daily practice papers are excellent for targeted skill development, while full-length mock tests provide a holistic assessment of your overall exam readiness.

Recognize and Correct Errors

Approach errors with a positive mindset. View them as opportunities for growth and improvement. Analyze the reasons behind each mistake to identify patterns and root causes. Create a log of common errors and revisit them regularly.

Make a List of Important Topics

Review the exam syllabus and understand the weightage assigned to each topic. Identify high-scoring areas and prioritize them in your list. Divide the list into short-term and long-term goals to ensure both immediate success and sustained knowledge.

Develop Strong Writing Abilities

Practice articulating your thoughts clearly and concisely. Focus on creating well-structured paragraphs with a logical flow of ideas. Work on improving your writing speed without compromising on quality through regular timed writing sessions.

Avoid Last-Minute Cramming

Understand that cramming provides short-term retention but is unlikely to lead to long-term mastery. Focus on understanding the underlying concepts of each topic. Utilize visualization techniques to reinforce learning and engage in self-assessment quizzes or discussions with peers.

By following these strategies, you can navigate the challenges of exam preparation successfully. Remember, the journey to exam success is about the cumulative effort invested in understanding, practicing, and refining your knowledge.

A Perfect Guide for Quicker Nail Growth

Nails can also be an indicator of general health and wellbeing. Strong, long nails are an indication of health and nutrition. Nonetheless, many people may find it difficult to grow and strengthen their nails to the proper length. We'll examine the nuances of nail development in this in-depth article, along with helpful tips on how to efficiently speed up this process.

Knowing About Nail Development

Understanding the fundamentals of nail biology is crucial before exploring techniques for accelerating nail development. The nail matrix, which is found underneath the cuticle, is where nails, which are made of a protein called keratin, grow. Individual differences in growth rate are caused by a variety of factors, including age, genetics, and general health.

Three phases make up the nail growth cycle: the rest phase (telogen), the transition phase (catagen), and the growth phase (anagen). It is essential to comprehend this cycle in order to put tactics in place that maximize nail development.

Ways to Encourage the Growth of Nails

Keep a Balanced Diet: For healthy and growing nails, make sure you're getting enough of these important nutrients: biotin, protein, vitamins A, C, and E. Include items like leafy greens, salmon, almonds, and eggs in your diet. Hydration and Moisture: To keep your nails from becoming dry and brittle, drink lots of water and use moisturizing lotions.

Establish a regular nail care regimen that consists of hydrating, filing gently, and avoiding harsh chemicals, such as those contained in nail paint removers.

Steer Clear of Harsh Chemicals: Acetone and formaldehyde are two examples of harsh chemicals that should be avoided as they can weaken and destroy nails.

Wear gloves when performing home tasks or participating in activities that could subject nails to chemicals or trauma to prevent damage to them.

Think About Supplements: To boost nail development and strength, speak with a healthcare provider about combining supplements like collagen or biotin.

How to Grow Nails More Quickly at Home

Nail Strengthening Treatments: To encourage nail growth and strength, try natural therapies like soaking nails in olive oil or dabbing on a mixture of honey and lemon juice.

DIY Nail Masks: Known for their nourishing qualities, avocado, banana, and yogurt are excellent items to use to make homemade nail masks. Essential Oil Treatments: To strengthen and hydrate nails while also encouraging growth, apply essential oils such as jojoba, lavender, or tea tree oil.

Expert Interventions for Nail Development Consider expert treatments offered at salons, such as vitamin and mineral-enriched nail growth serums and strengthening treatments for nails, if you're looking for more instant results. Common Myths About Nail Growth Dispelled Regular Nail cutting Encourages development: Despite common assumption, regular cutting has no direct impact on nail development. On the other hand, routine care keeps nails from breaking and encourages general health.

Growth is Hindered by Gel and Acrylic Nails: Although incorrect application or removal of artificial nails can harm natural nails, well-maintained and applied extensions can offer defense and promote normal growth. Nail Hardeners Encourage Growth: Although they could momentarily strengthen nails, nail hardeners do not actively encourage growth. Prolonged use might also cause brittleness and excessive dryness.

Maintaining Nail Health To preserve the health of your nails, use appropriate procedures for shaping and trimming them, keep your nails clean to stop germs from growing in them, and give up bad behaviors like picking and biting your nails that can harm them. Identifying Problems with Nail Growth Watch out for symptoms like discoloration, ridges, or alterations in shape that could indicate underlying health problems that need to be addressed. These signals of sluggish nail growth should also be taken seriously.
