#Cir has too many dark secrets

[respectthepetty]

I'm crazy, right?

I really wanted to focus on the colors in episode eight of Boy Next World, but I need everyone to remember that Cir was calling out Ozone's name in a parallel world, so if Ozone stayed with the mom instead of Cir, he would have died.

So now I'm worried because Ozone keeps hinting that he really understands that the mom only needs *one* son, so I think homeboy is trying to pull a switcheroo, and y'all . . .

NO!!!!

DON'T DO IT, BOO!

Because this show is going out of its way to directly state that Phu is the light of Cir's dark world.

Of any world.

And all worlds.

Because parallel worlds really do exist.

And in every single one of those worlds, Cir will have Phu to brighten his life.

And save him through his love.

So Phu will always have Cir to protect him.

But who has Ozone, y'all?!

Because even when the other Cir returned to his world, he was still blue.

He was still kind of dark.

Yet there was Phu to brighten his day.

And even when Phu was low, he still carried Cir around through his color.

He will always merge their colors even when hurting.

Because he will love Cir in any world no matter what.

So even though I want to give this show a Color Award right now for the way this scene played out, with each boy standing in their world

And Cir finally being brave enough to cross over into Phu's world after Phu told him that he loved him

(Because it's always about Cir needing to be brave enough to reach out and hold onto what he wants)

I can't shake that Jin is losing his mind reading abilities, and Cir came back to his world in the red.

Like a lingering warning sign of the secret he buried.

So even in their happiness, they are still upside down, in the red.

While the other worlds got to merge their colors and rest peacefully in the green.

So would Cir coming clean about his deep dark secret finally allow them to get out of the red and live peacefully together in the green, or does this story demand a bigger sacrifice?

Someone come tell me I'm crazy.

Please

Episode 3–He Dies in the Snow Field; Scene 5

Judgment of Corruption, pages 98-104

Kayo living in Pixie had been a complete lie.

“I’m not so foolishly honest as to write down where I live in documents like that.”

Gallerian had protested that this was an illegal act, but Kayo didn’t pay any mind to that at all.

“If you’re going to prosecute me for it, do as you like.”

It was a provocation done with the knowledge that Gallerian was in no position to do that right now.

Naturally, even if he wasn’t in this situation, Gallerian would never have taken legal action against her. It was for the purpose of making her his collaborator that he had declared her innocent, after all.

--To give the main points of the explanation Kayo gave after that, this was the gist of it:

This facility, “Lunaca Labora”, was one of the places where she could rest. Only one of them—Kayo’s place of residence was not set in stone. Given her position, she apparently had several hiding places prepared in every region.

Just as Hel said, Lunaca Labora was an artifact of the old era. Kayo didn’t say how it was that she found this place, but she did explain in brief regarding its origins.

In the old era there had been the Magic Kingdom. In it was a researcher by the name of Seth Twiright, and supposedly “Lunaca Labora” was a research facility that he had created, established secretly under the barren snow field. As it was belowground it sustained very little damage from the “Great Catastrophe” that destroyed the Magic Kingdom, and remained on until the present day in its current state.

She said that here they were able to conduct medical procedures that surpassed modern science. It was proof that the Magic Kingdom had possessed incredibly advanced technology that defied what was normally possible, and it made sense that Hel’s father Heaven Jaakko had been searching for it so desperately.

After the “Great Catastrophe”, Seth had created a sorceress here.

“’The Red Cat Sorceress’—Are you familiar with that name?” Kayo asked Gallerian.

“…That figure has popped up several times, historically. There’s ‘IR’, who was said to be involved with the Venomania Event, ‘AB-CIR’ who was the owner of the Heartbeat Clocktower, and ‘Abyss IR’ who worked behind the scenes before and after the Lucifenian Revolution—"

“I’m impressed. That’s quite extensive knowledge you have.”

“I learned that during my course on violations of the special laws on magic. Any student of Levin University’s law school would know it.”

“This place was where that ‘Red Cat Sorceress’ was born. Seth put the soul of a girl on the verge of death inside a red cat plushy. The red cat became immortal with magical powers, and had the power to bend people to her will—”

“Where did you get this information? That wasn’t written anywhere in my textbook, at the very least.”

Kayo only gave a thin smile, not answering the question.

“…Well, whatever. If nothing else, it’s clear that you have a very detailed knowledge of magic. That is what I was seeking.”

Gallerian told her of his idea that he needed someone with knowledge on “witches” to reform the witch trials.

“—I see. So that’s why you declared me innocent.”

“Please work with me. You must know yourself, don’t you? Who I am the son of.”

“…Yes. Of course.”

“If you revere Elluka, then—”

“Wait a moment. We have something that takes priority over that right now, don’t you think? …I will give the matter some thought. However—first we must take care of Loki.”

“I have one more question on that. You—all of you, seem to have some grudge against Loki, but why is that? He himself is little more than a mere judge, like me.”

“Rather than Loki—it’s more his family…Really, it’s the Freezis Conglomerate we want to do something about. Though, well, all of our views on that do differ slightly.”

And then Kayo began to talk about her own motives.

“Elluka Ma Clockworker had received the patronage of the Freezis Conglomerate. The people who led it were trying to use the considerable magical power that she possessed to grant their fondest wish.”

“Their ‘fondest wish’?”

“Immortality… This, at least, is not something that one can gain so easily no matter how much money you have. This is something that started in the era of Shaw Freezis, the founder of the conglomerate’s previous incarnation, the Freezis Foundation. In actuality, Shaw had been able to secure an extremely long lifespan through the use of magical power. …Think this absurd, do you?”

“…I’ll hold back on voicing my opinion for now. Please continue.”

“That is why by all rights Elluka should never have been captured by the World Police, and even if she had she should have been judged innocent at the trial. It was known at the time that Hanma, the Dark Star Courthouse director, would change the verdict. But things didn’t play out that way. –She was betrayed. By the conglomerate,” Kayo said, her expression twisting.

“Are you sure of that? Or is it just your theory?”

“It’s fact. I heard all this from internal members of the Freezis Conglomerate.”

Kayo looked around at all the people around them.

“Beginning with Bruno, and excluding you and I, everyone here works for them—publicly, at least.”

“Everyone--Even…even that tiger-looking person there?”

“You mean Feng? I hear he’s kept on as a pet.”

The tiger—Feng--made a small groan. “…Though extremely reluctantly. It’s the only way I can afford my food.”

Gallerian closed his eyes. He appeared to be sorting through Kayo’s story just then in his head.

“—If what you say is true…Then the mastermind responsible for killing my mother—”

“Is the Freezis Conglomerate. They realized that they could not attain immortality even through Elluka’s magic. And so, to exterminate Elluka and her allies who stood as obstacles for them, they started a certain ‘hoax’. They took the bizarre events that were beginning to happen all over the world, and created the public idea that it was the work of ‘sorceresses’—or rather, ‘witches’.”

“I feel like you’ve gotten a little ahead of yourself there. You haven’t explained why the ‘witch hunts’ are still going on now that my mother is gone.”

“The conglomerate wishes to destroy all the sorcerers and sorceresses in this world. If they cannot be useful to them, then those who can use ‘magic’ that exceeds the scope of human knowledge are nothing more than a threat. Think this sounds crazy? It is crazy. The Freezis family has become a band of madmen who have forgotten the noble spirit that their ancestor once held.”

“…And Loki? Does he know all of this?”

“Who knows? But I’d wager he doesn’t. He was a child barely come into his own awareness when Elluka was executed. It is certain however that he is a member of the crazed Freezis Family. …You’ve had experience with that yourself, yes?”

“…I had always thought that Loki was a purely good person.”

“Perhaps he is that. But purity isn’t necessarily the right thing. There is ‘pure evil’ too—those who are called ‘HER’, in the old language. That is the true nature of the Freezis family as they are now.”

“…”

Gallerian appeared to be struggling to decide on what he should say.

Understandable. Kayo’s story had been a long procession of statements that were hard to grasp for the average person. Ordinarily it wouldn’t be out of turn for him to laugh it off as some ridiculous fantasy.

--Appearing to steady his nerve, Gallerian replied, fist clenched, “I still can’t trust you all. Everything you’ve told me is a bit hard to swallow. –But I am sure that you all have the intention to go against Loki. That means that our interests are aligned. …And it’s certainly true that right now I need people to work with me.”

“…I’m glad you can see reason.” Kayo put a hand on his chest. “I didn’t want to have to do anything untoward towards you if I could help it.”

“’Untoward’? Were you planning to torture me or something?”

“Rather than torture…More like ‘brainwashing’.”

“Don’t make me shiver. Cut it out. I’ve no wish to have my head be tampered with by some ancient device,” Gallerian said, holding out his right hand to Kayo. “Well…While I can’t see us becoming friendly, I do hope we work well together, Miss Kayo.”

“No need for formalities. –And I don’t much care for being called by my proper name. If it’s not too much trouble, I’d prefer you call me by my pen name, ‘Ma’.”

“Very well—Then, to our partnership, ‘Ma’.”

As a strange crew of many secrets watched on—

The two of them shook hands.

.

--Life, or rather fate, is a progression of crossroads.

So then, I wonder if Gallerian’s choice will ultimately have been the correct one.

That will probably become clear through some more observation.

.

…Though I’m betting that he’s made a mistake!

Rub cream or milk on the dark parts of the face, leave it for few minutes and wash the same with fresh water.

We sell natural beauty products & accessories made with ingredients you can pronounce. It shouldn't surprise if I told you a good sleep makes you look younger. It is because your skin as well as your whole body goes into repair mode when you sleep. During sleep all sorts of hormonal and metabolic changes happen in your body, including your skin. Have you ever felt like you have woken up being less fat compared to your previous night? Dry, flaky skin is never cute. But spend too much time away from the bedroom and it's practically a guarantee. Lack of sleep can promote inflammation along with skin-barrier dysfunction, leading to lack of hydration. Sleep deprivation can cause hormonal imbalance, risk of obesity, severe yawning, irritability and risk of heart disease. To add to that of course if you don't need those ugly dark circles you need to sleep well. And hey! Forget to ditch those pyjamas and fitted bras to invigorate the blood circulation in your body. Have no fear. You can start tossing a few of these products today. This will make a huge difference on your internal toxic load. Start small and create a strategy based on these suggestions and the ones in my new book, and you'll be well on your way to clean living. Give your skin and makeup routines a fresh spin with our natural beauty subscription boxes. We know it can be hard to find organic beauty products that aren't mainstream. We've curated a list of beauty subscriptions that showcase non-typical brands. If you follow a religious skincare ritual, then these skincare subscription boxes are going to be your favorite alternative to constantly buying new products to try. If you have a healthy obsession for all things makeup, then be sure to browse this extensive list of makeup subscription boxes If you need a little help picking out the right products or simply love to learn from the best, then this guide to beauty subscription boxes will tell you exactly what makeup sample boxes you need in your life. From organic boxes to cruelty-free skincare to all-natural cosmetics , we have a box for every style and preference.

You don't need a facial treatment every few days in order to make your skin shine or remove excessive oils from it, but you can also use herbal methods to enrich your skin with proteins and bring about a positive outlook in it. For people who have oily skin, it is not necessary to go for a facial treatment every once and then. Just take a full ripe tomato, mesh it until it turns to paste. Stir the paste until it loses its thickness. However, don't let it become too watery otherwise it would lose its hold. Leave the pasty look in it. https://foodyoushouldtry.com/how-to-take-care-of-your-eyelashes/ Once you get it right, put the tomato paste on your skin and let it dry. Put on sunscreen. This is for your long-term health. Even on days when you can't see the sun, use a daily moisturizer with an SPF to ensure that your skin is protected. Try Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, all while protecting your skin from the sun. The Truth: Here are a bunch of facts: This study of FDA data shows that formaldehyde and formaldehyde "releasers" (aka chemicals that break down into formaldehyde) are in roughly one-fifth (!) of all cosmetic products in the US. The CIR recommends that brands use no more than 0.2 percent formaldehyde in personal care product formulations, but this is a voluntary, non-enforced guideline. When inhaled, formaldehyde has been shown to cause cancer. Studies have shown that products formulated with formaldehyde release formaldehyde into the air, at which point, you might inhale it. For your body, if your skin is easily irritated or prone to flakiness, most soaps will probably dry out your skin and should be avoided. Try Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash with Shea Butter for a superior hydration that will last and save you time in the morning. Tip: Applying toner with clean hands is the most efficient. Just pour a few drops in your palm, then swipe it on.” Or if you prefer, you can pull apart a cotton pad so it's not so thick before putting toner on it,” Mattioli advises. Most formulas can be used morning and night, but you might want to use those with exfoliating acids only at night or every other day. When you're in need of major relaxation, it may seem like a good idea to binge on chocolate but you probably won't feel as confident in your decision in the light of a new day. So, instead of overindulging your sweet tooth, have a piece or two of dark chocolate, then satisfy the rest of your craving with a chocolate face scrub. Not to eat—of course—but to slough away dead skin cells and soften your skin. Massage the L'Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Nourish & Soften Face Scrub —which is formulated with three types of sugar, cocoa, and coconut oil—onto your skin, then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Be sure to clean all your makeup tools - not just brushes. If you use an eyelash curler that's caked in old mascara, your lashes will appear clumpy. Not only that, but you risk losing a couple lashes too, as they're apt to rip out when sticking to the old product. If you're unsure how to go about properly cleaning your makeup brushes, you're not alone. In fact, 31% of millennials polled didn't know how to clean their makeup brushes properly. Fear not! We've broken down the essential steps to cleaning all of your makeup brushes and tools - the correct way.

On regular-priced products. Valid at all Brunet participating stores, the MaSanté Privilege Card does not apply to the following products: infant formula, baby diapers, lottery tickets, stamps, bus tickets, prescriptions, controlled medication and other promotions. The retailer may require proof of age. Brunet reserves the right to change or cancel this promotion at any time. However, new research from 2016 found that the ingredients in sunscreen may actually help reverse the signs of aging, too. (Miracle product? We'd say so.) A secret favorite among the skin-care junkies on Reddit is Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ ($22). Coarse, curly hair can often get dehydrated as it's harder for natural oils to travel down the shaft and coat the entire strand. Jojoba oil and Shea butter are perfect as they are similar to our own natural hair oils. This type of hair can be difficult to style if it's been over-washed and become frizzy but don't be tempted to reach for anything too silicone-heavy as it will dull your colour and end up causing even more frizz. A pre-shampoo treatment can work wonders on coarse hair giving ultimate shine and hydration. An allergic reaction may include irritation, redness, small bumps, or itchiness. If you notice these symptoms, wash the area you tested with water and a gentle cleanser. Then return the product and try another that better suits your skin type. Taking care of your hair and skin are simple when you stick to a routine. You don't need a facial treatment every few days in order to make your skin shine or remove excessive oils from it, but you can also use herbal methods to enrich your skin with proteins and bring about a positive outlook in it. For people who have oily skin, it is not necessary to go for a facial treatment every once and then. Just take a full ripe tomato, mesh it until it turns to paste. Stir the paste until it loses its thickness. However, don't let it become too watery otherwise it would lose its hold. https://thriveglobal.com/stories/laser-hair-removal-is-it-effective/ In middle school, I found my favorite weapon of choice to combat my curls- a straightener. Now straightening my hair was a challenge because I had been naturally blessed with long thick hair, but still, I tried my hardest to get every kink out. It wasn't until high school where I had learned to appreciate the beauty of my natural curls, however, by that time it was already too late. I had abused and ruined my hair so much that my curls would never be the same- my hair was so long that any curls I had left would get pulled down and straightened out by the weight. Confusion is to be expected, to an extent. There aren't many regulations in the beauty industry at all, especially around marketing language, so brands can kind of say whatever they want. "There are some consequences for companies who mislabel, but because the Food and Drug Administration has not defined terms like 'natural' and 'clean' for personal-care products, there aren't regulatory actions taken against companies," explains Lindsay Dahl, the SVP of Social Mission at Beautycounter That explains how the phrase "free from chemicals" — a scientific impossibility, since all matter, including your own skin, is made up of chemicals — made its way into the marketing lexicon. Some of these ingredients may be all natural and cost-effective, but they aren't formulated for your skin. Even if you don't feel immediate side effects, these ingredients can cause delayed or long-term damage. It's best to use products formulated for your face. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist before trying DIY applications on your skin.

While you may be rinsing your makeup sponge after use (hopefully), you're only getting rid of the top layer of makeup. Hate to break it to you, but there's probably something vile (bacteria, germs, etc) hiding in the inner crevices of your blender. And, if you're getting acne on your cheeks , celebrity aesthetician Shani Darden says your dirty tools or phones may be reason. For your phone, the skin pro told E! News, "I travel with alcohol pads in my purse at all times to ensure dirt and bacteria aren't left on these, which are constantly rubbing against my face"—easy enough. For your makeup sponge, the solution is just as simple. The beautyblender was revolutionary , and it's probably one of the best sponges on the market: from the shape and texture to the density and size, it out-performed all other sponges. But today, there are some real strong contenders on the makeup sponge market, and they don't all cost $20 - because let's be honest, when we spend that much on a tool, it can be painful to say goodbye. Especially when, if you've taken care of it properly, it may look as if it's still in its prime. Not because you have glowing and plump skin means you can do away with moisturisers. Stress levels could be high, all-nighters are frequent and urban lifestyle can damage the resilience and elasticity of your skin. That's why it is always better to keep your skin hydrated and plump inside out. Drink enough water, make hot tubs or warm showers less frequent, and apply skin type-appropriate moisturiser.

Here's what we've been all looking for, a sunscreen that's lightweight, non-greasy, broad-spectrum, nutrient-rich with vitamin A & C, plus it hydrates deeply into the skin.

atasha Irons is the daughter of John Henry's brother, Clay, and Clay's wife Blondel. She is introduced in the first issue of Steel's solo series, where she is initially portrayed as being 13. Like the rest of her family, she knew about Steel's secret identity all along. Contrasting sharply with her brother Jemahl, Natasha is shown to be very level headed and practical. By issue #14, she is shown to be working (presumably as an intern) for a U.S. Senator. She appears to have aged forward to be about 16 somehow. Nat is a supporting character throughout Louise Simonson's run on the series. She is kidnapped by Hazard and Steel has to rescue her. She also uses the drug Tar to help fight at her uncle's side briefly. She is later kidnapped by the villain Plasmus and apparently kills him by shattering once Steel froze the villain (although he later turns up alive). Natasha was devastated at the loss of her beloved great-grandmother, Bess Irons, but is the only one of her family who stays with Steel when he moves to Jersey City (see the Steel entry for more details of the Irons family).

With Christopher Priest at the helm of Steel starting with #34, Nat was radically altered. She was transformed into a more stereotypical modern teenager with a flippant attitude. All trace of her previous work for a U.S. Senator was never referenced. During this time she also meets and befriends a teen named Paul, whom she dubs "Boris". Her father also makes a return as the villain Crash. When an assassin named Skorpio poisons Nat, Crash has to turn himself in so that he can give a blood transfusion and save his daughter. He is never seen nor heard from again.

Nat later goes with Steel to Metropolis when he opens up Steelworks there. She becomes his assistant, even reprogramming Superman's Kryptonian robot Kelex to speak hip hop slang. For a time she is dating a local boy, Boris.[2]

The new SteelEdit



Natasha as Steel. Art by Pascual Ferry.

When the Entropy Aegis of Darkseid traps John, Natasha designs a suit of armor that uses the Aegis' power, teleports to Apokolips, and fights Doomsday with the help of Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, and the pre-Crisis Supergirl.[3]

John is too injured to continue operating as Steel. Having intended to pass his legacy as Steel on to Natasha, John made a new, more advanced suit of armor for her to use.

When Natasha hears that Superman has been injured by a ghostly ninja, she dons her armor and becomes the new Steel. She teams up with Cir-El and Girl 13 to stop the ninja. During the adventure, she uses her hammer to fire an electric pulse into Superman's heart to start it again.

As part of the Superman/Batman "Public Enemies" arc, false news of Batman and Superman's capture by the forces of President Lex Luthor is leaked to draw out their various associates into attacking the White House. Cir-El, Natasha, Krypto, Superboy and the Batman Family do exactly that. Natasha is neutralized early in the incident, staying back to try to rescue Cir-El and Superboy from a crushing deathtrap. Instead, Batman saves them.

Natasha is briefly seen in a cameo role during the events of "Infinite Crisis".

StarlightEdit

In 52, Natasha has a violent falling out with her uncle John, over John's disgust over what he feels is the self-absorbed narcissism of the DC Universe's superhero community. When Natasha discovers that the Teen Titans (whose roster was devastated by the events of Infinite Crisis) are holding an open call for new members, John forbids Natasha from going and instead insists she continue the clearing out debris from the battle of Metropolis. When Natasha refuses, John dismantles her armor, and she is left powerless. John also makes it clear that she will have to build her own armor if she wants to be a super-hero.[4]



Natasha as Starlight.

Soon, Natasha attempts to rebuild her armor, with little success. When she learns that John had his DNA rewritten by the exo-gene, Natasha wrongly assumes John chose to have his DNA altered and snaps.[5]

After a fierce argument with her uncle, Natasha applies for Luthor's "Everyman Project" and becomes one of the first official subjects.[6] When John, looking for Natasha, threatens to kill Luthor at a Lexcorp party, Natasha appears, along with a team of super-powered people in Luthor's employ, and beats him severely. From that point, she is estranged from her uncle, who makes numerous attempts to contact her, which she rebuffs. Gifted with new skills, Natasha is given the codename Starlight.[7] While in battle, she witnesses her friend Eliza Harmon (a.k.a. Trajectory) killed by a new Blockbuster. Natasha is finally contacted by John on New Year's Eve, who forces her to rethink everything that Luthor has told her. After the "Rain of the Supermen," in which Lex Luthor deactivates the powers of each Everyman hero outside of Infinity, Inc. (causing many to plummet from the sky; this forms the basis of the title pun on "The Reign of the Supermen" storyline), Natasha realizes that her uncle was right all along.[8] She then begins working as a double agent within Luthor's organization. However, she is found out and beaten by Luthor, who has acquired superpowers.[9]

Steel and the Teen Titans launch an attack on LexCorp and manage to rescue Natasha. However, Lex stripped her of her Starlight powers.[10] Later, she is seen escorting Luthor into custody, wearing a new set of armour made for her by her uncle.[11] The duo restore Steelworks, and Natasha is later seen, during the World War III assembling a nanotech payload missile to fire over Black Adam, although the missile is stolen by Booster Gold.[12] Natasha survives the battle, and resumes working at Steelworks.

VaporlockEdit

The new Infinity, Inc. series reveals that the Everyman Project has had a lingering effect on its subjects. Natasha now has the ability to dissolve into a cloud of gas, although she has difficulty controlling it.[13] Her uncle suggests she adopt the codename "Vaporlock."[14] In the final issue, of the series all the Infinity Inc members are prisoners in the Dark Side Club.[15] By the end of the Terror Titans miniseries they are released thanks to Miss Martian.[16]

"Jenny" Blake and Project 7734Edit

After being released from the Dark Side Club, the members of Infinity Inc. take new names and infiltrate a government project named Project 7734. The goal of the project is simple: the death of Superman. Towards that end, the government project has placed satellites in space that fire magic lasers, plucked the powerful Atlas from the time stream, release Metallo, and brainwashed people.

Natasha is not sure whom to trust as part of Project: Breach (the brainwashing of Captain Atom). She visits Earth to tell Jimmy Olsen, who has been looking into Project 7734, about Captain Atom and leaves just before Jimmy is found and shot by Codename: Assassin. In the Captain Atom back-up story in Action Comics, Captain Atom remembers who he is, revealing his real name and rank along with the "Codename: Captain Atom". Joining others of Project 7734 (such as Codename: Superwoman and Codename: Metallo), Natasha is part of the team that takes down Captain Atom to brainwash him before they are attacked by the natives of the magical world where Project 7734 is located. The natives want her to help them with Captain Atom.

Following this, Natasha is shown helping Steel rescue civilians during the Reign of Doomsday event. Doomsday attacks Natasha in order to draw Steel's attention, and though she escapes unscathed, Steel is ultimately beaten into submission and captured.[17]

DC RebirthEdit

In the "DC Rebirth," continuity, Natasha is back to using her armor and no longer has any of her Vaporlock abilities.[18] Here she was in a romantic relationship with Traci 13, but they broke up [19] (though it's not confirmed whether she's a lesbian or bisexual). Following the No Justice event, she becomes a member of the new incarnation of the Titans.[20]

Have you ever questioned your faith? The new single ''If you're wrong' by Candian band Ugly melons is a song that challenges your religious beliefs. It's telling 'believers' ...' if you're wrong about all this shit, then this is where you'll end up'. 

The song can also be interpreted in such a way that it will force us to challenge all the things we think we believe in. Be open-minded. Look at things from many different angles, and be accepting of others, and their beliefs. 

'If you're wrong' is saying, you're not always right. And we all need to accept that at some point in our lives.

Our brand is old school - new school Hard Rock Music. Music with yesterday’s melodic writing and vocal style with today’s modern production.

Ugly Melon is influenced by the best British Bands in the World, Black Sabbath Iron Maiden Judas Priest White Snake with today’s bands like Disturbed. If you are looking for a new band to listen to with the elements of great classic rock and today’s modern edge, then look no further, Ugly Melon is your band.

Lu Cachie Guitars, Tony LaSelva Lead Vocals, John Libs on Bass, JT on Guitar and our secret weapon Biagio Diblassi on keys.

"I used to try and create what was considered mainstream and had some great success but never felt it was me. In 2015, I called up Tony LaSelva my very first singer as a teenager. He would be the only singer I’d call cause we are always on the same page with our musical direction. In 2017 we released our first album self titled. In 2018 we released Just a man a real Gem in my ears. What makes this band special is we are all original members. From our first band in our teen years, we know each other like a book. All on the same page and that’s very important.”

New video coming out soon too if your Wrong, Concert coming this fall and We currently working on the third album.

New Release: Motor Honey (Peace)

Genre: Rock

Located in: : Boston, MA, USA

Calling out to an age of classic rock where heavy, fractured guitars and snarling vocals rallied like war-torn battle cries, ‘Motor Honey (Peace)’ speaks to the more primal side of rock, capturing the energy and sounds of bands like Guns ‘n’ Roses, AC/DC and Queens of the Stone Age. Offering glimmers at heartier heavy metal that are swept aside by a more pronounced, melodic edge. "Motor Honey (Peace)" is a bellowing, rumbling, pedal to the metal anthem.

This is track number two in a series of Singles we plan to release over the next year. It's also the first track we have released with an accompanying video.

The Single and the video were released within two hours of each other. It made a huge impact on the song's release and reflected in more traction among the fans. We plan on making this a habit for the rest of the releases in the series.

Right now we are in full-on work mode!

Most of our summer has been spent in the recording studio tracking our Singles Series. We've got four completed and two more to go. Then it's on to developing the videos for each Single. Most of the footage has been collected but there's still a lot of production to do. We'll be back into full-on gig mode in October starting with two benefit concerts in the Boston area. Release number three will soon follow!

New Release: Concerned Realists Vs M&M's ft. Bec Stevens

Genre: Punk Rock, Indie

Located in:  Adelaide, Australia

Lyrically weaving through the difficult terrain of maintaining meaningful human connection and keeping one's self afloat, this sonically bouncy track, much like the rest of the album, takes a journey through some darker places. At a glance, idly by are making some high energy, fun, and catchy punk rock. In a closer inspection, there are stories to be heard in the lyrics of personal struggle and deep dissatisfaction with the status quo.

The band hopes that “throwing a saddle on these dark and personal themes might help people find a commonality in their struggles and broaden the platform from which people can speak openly about their issues”.

This deeply personal album has been a stepping stone. After such intensive introspection, the band is now looking outward and creating music to help inspire the human race to stop being such mindless twats hell-bent on fueling their extinction and causing the collateral damage associated with this selfish, consumptive path we are on.

Right now we are set your phasers to party mode because Idly By are climbing aboard Lil' blue Betsy and rolling into your town with all the swagger they can muster from the inside of a hatchback.

Their dark lyrical overtones are something you’ll have to mull over in your own time because their live show is a vivaciously eruptive spectacle and you’ll need all your faculties for dancing.

They’ve hand selected supports around the country and look forward to being a guest in your scene. Check out @idlyby on FB and insta for their Australian tour dates - announcements coming soon - Album available NOW on all major streaming services and idlyby.bandcamp.com

New Release: Single Eye (Recharged)

Genre: Metal - Industrial Metal

Located in: : Murray, Ky USA

Combining 90s style synthesizer dance grooves with aggressive guitars, drums, and vocals, I sing (and scream) about how our priorities direct the course of our lives and why it's important to focus on the right thing(s).

The song's lyrics contain loose metaphors and Bible references to eyes to convey that our lives will be well when our focus is on the truth and what is pure.

This song is a revamped version of the original song that I released on an album around eight months ago. Back then, the idea seemed to be in its adolescence, like some more work was needed to fully develop its potential. Since stepping up the track's arrangement, and recording and mixing quality, this song has come to be my favorite out of all the songs I've done so far. The influences of Circle of Dust, Klank, and Death Therapy come out in the groovy guitar riffs, harsh vocals, and the sporadic synth melodies.

The music... 

I am revamping the songs I've released at the beginning of 2019 to make updated impressions as to how I sound before working on new material. The "Overcomer- Re: charged" EP will feature rearranged and re-recorded versions of songs found on the original "Overcomer" album, with also some mashups. I loved how "Single Eye (Recharged)" turned out and felt that it did such a great job making an impression that I decided to make it the opening track on the upcoming EP.

The full EP will be released on September 13th of this year! Pre-orders are available on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon MP3.

Artist: Tough On Fridays

New Release: Little Italy

Genre: Rock: Alternative Rock

Located in: Georgetown, TX

Tough On Fridays is a rising alternative rock duo from Georgetown, Texas. Comprised of best friends Katie and Caleigh, the two have turned their shared passion for music into an exciting blend of pop and rock sounds! Inspired by iconic alternative bands like Paramore, Green Day, Basement, and Nirvana, Katie and Caleigh work together to bring a refreshing new sound to the alternative rock genre.

The band’s unique attitude and exciting new sound have garnered serious attention from fans everywhere. As one of 10 songs recorded, the recording of "Little Italy" further defines Tough On Fridays sound as something unique. While many reviewers have tried to categorize the band, the one thing they seem to agree on is that Tough On Fridays, with their edgy, hooky, anthemic songs, may have the ability to bridge the gap between rock and pop in a way that hasn't been done in some time. They refuse to be categorized as a "female-fronted band" as these two can write and play every bit as well as the boys. They have the look, but refuse to let that be the stepping stone that takes them away from the music.

Right now... Tough On Fridays just reached its initial crowdfunding goal to fund the recording of an album in 2020 with the help of a contribution from a local radio station.

Artist: Black Cadillac Kings

New Release: Upside The Wall

Genre: Southern Style Rock

Located in: Klamath Falls, Oregon

This song is fast moving, quick pit stop structured song meaning it has the feeling of rolling down the highway at high speeds. Very catchy/bluesy guitar riffs and ultra southern slide Guitar lead licks mixed with thunderous drums and a stand-up bass that helps it keep a down-home southern rock groove combined with a rockabilly twist. The vocals lend a unique style in the originality of the sound of Shane Thornton (Lead) and Chris Garrett’s (Harmony) voices give them a sound all their own.

The name of this album is called 4 On The Floor. We took a harder, grittier, darker approach to this record both musically and lyrically. It is definitely the hardest rocking record that Black Cadillac Kings has released thus far compared to our 3 previous records 1. Self-titled Black Cadillac Kings 2. 2nd GEAR 3. 3 On The Tree

Right now we are gearing up for a mini-tour across the country starting off in our home town of Klamath Falls, Oregon at the Basin Brew & Que festival. Then we are off to Atlanta, GA to attend the 2019 ISSA AWARDS where Black Cadillac Kings have been nominated to the finals in 3 categories: Entertainer Of The Year, Band Of The Year and Single Of The Year!

Artist: Paul J. Clark

New Release: Afterglow

Genre: Alternative rock

Located in: Nashville, TN, USA

The latest single from songwriter Paul J Clark, this song is about the longing to return home while searching for the fulfillment found in the responsibilities of life. Inspired by the Voyager space probe, the golden record it carries containing a time capsule of information about all of us, and a picture it took of Earth from over 4 billion miles away.

Written in the first person from the perspective of Voyager (a satellite of sorts), it’s an abstract metaphor grounded in very real human experience. This song is heavily influenced by the sounds from the ’90s. There are two conflicting emotions battling for resolution throughout the song. This is reflected in the song instrumentation and structure. It combines driving rock guitars with symphonic instrumentation to effortlessly weave together genres into something both nostalgic and new. Musically, it brings to mind guitar-driven songs from the likes of Collective Soul, Linkin Park, Train, Weezer, and Tom Petty.

Artist: Weather

New Release: Silent Approach

Genre: Indie Pop, Post Punk, Alternative Rock,

Located in: : Tabor (Czechia)

This song was written a month ago and it displays my feeling. It is an abstract form of writing lyrics. But the main theme of this song is the tiredness of our wasted society. There is a huge expectation of all of us that we can not fulfill during our short life. Weather is a one-man band whose music is influenced by the 90s DIY scene of Olympia, by new wave of post-punk and DIY hardcore punk from Czechia.

I made my studio at home and finally, I am completely independent to release my songs how they are coming out of me.

I am currently recording a full-length album probably released just online. If there is some independent record label which is interested in my music and wants to help me spread my music around, I will be very glad... Just contact me.

DEFENDING USLME ACCUSATIONS OR FINDINGS OF IRREGULAR BEHAVIOR

Have you been accused of “irregular behavior” when you took Step 1, Step 2 or Step 3 of the USMLE exam? If you have been accused of irregular behavior you have a right to defend yourself as well as have an attorney assist you. The USMLE Committee for Individual Review (CIR) meets periodically thought out the year to review cases involving allegations of irregular behavior by USLME applicants and/or examinees. An USLME accusation or findings of irregular behavior has a ripple effect on a future physician’s career. If the future physician is found to have engaged in irregular behavior, his/her score report and transcript will include the findings. Irregular behavior findings may be reported to the disciplinary data bank of the Federation of State Boards. State medical boards routinely query this data bank as part of their licensing processes. State medical licensing Boards have denied license to individuals with a finding of USLME irregular behavior.

Actions that have been taken in the past by the CIR include annotating the individual’s USLME record with a finding of irregular behavior, barring access to USMLE for periods ranging from 0-to 3 years, and reporting the findings of irregular behavior to legitimately interested third parties. The USLME has a goal of being part of the decision making process for medical licensure. That means, the USLME want to supply data that affects the potential for obtaining a medical license. This is a significant action as any USLME transcript subsequently produced by the program alerts the transcript recipient (e.g. residency programs, state medical boards) to the irregular behavior findings.

State Boards will separate the applications with irregular behavior findings from routine administration to a more individual review of the candidate’s qualifications. This individual review will include his/her character and fitness to practice medicine. USLME maintains formal process for investigating and resolving issues of potential misconduct that threatens the integrity of the examination process. Information on possible instances of irregular behavior is reviewed by an inter-organizational staff committee. This staff group reviews the information and determines whether sufficient evidence exist to warrant referring the matter to the CIR. This staff acts as a grand jury. The staff determines if there is sufficient evidence to warrant an investigation. Because you are accused does not mean you are guilty or a decision has been made. The CIR will listen to your explanation.

The CIR is the body established by USMLE to formally review cases of suspected irregular behavior. Once a case is referred, the CIR conducts a review of the evidence including any statement or evidence supplied by the individual under investigation. The accused individual has a right to appear before the committee with an attorney to present his/her defense. It is important to properly submit documentation but prepare for your testimony with assistance from a medical legal team with a track record of success.

Studies have shown that the CIR found irregular activity in 60% of the cases it investigated. However, there is no statistics on the results of legally represented accused. Our law firm has experience in defending medical students before the CIR. Our firm has represented students in which we obtain a reversal of an initial finding of irregular behavior as well as defending the initial allegation. We are an experienced medical legal team will to assist you in continuing your medical career.

How to get you findings of USMLE Irregular Behavior Reversed

Has the USMLE Committee for Individual Review (CIR) finding of “irregular behavior” had a devastating ripple effect on your medical career? Once a finding of irregular behavior is determined. the USMLE will place a notation on any transcript supplied to medical board or residency program that requests a transcript. The USMLE finding of “irregular behavior” is reported to the disciplinary bank of the Federation of State Boards. When you apply for a State medical license or to a residency programs they will routinely query this data bank as part of their credentialing procedure.

The state board or residency program will then separate your application from other applications. You will be subject to a more detailed review of your qualifications. This individual review will include an inquiry into your fitness to practice medicine. If you do not attempt to remove the notation of “irregular behavior” from your USMLE transcript, this failure may end your career. The USMLE test taking purported behaviors that lead to the decision that you participated in irregular behavior are too vast and vague to list here. It is important for you to understand exactly how vague are the guidelines for irregular behavior. At this point, we recognize that you may have been in the dark because of the vagueness of the guidelines as to what actions specifically landed you in hot water. We are certain that you have asked yourself “why me” or “what”! There are ways we can help increase your change of reversing the decision that you participated in ‘irregular behavior. All is not lost!

The solution to your nightmare is to hire a medical legal team that has experience in not only defending findings of “irregular behavior” but reversing the finding on appeal or on a request for reconsideration. Our team of lawyers and M.D.s can explore all the facts to accurately present the facts to the CIR. Many times if we are consulted timely, we can write an appeal. If the time for submitting an appeal has passed, we can ask the CIR for reconsideration of your case. The secret to success with an appeal or reconsideration is fully developing your facts to show that you did not have the intent to participate in irregular behavior. Many times we have been able to determine issues that were not initially considered because our medical legal team was able to fully discover all the facts . The decision to hire our firm has been a career saving step for many medical students.

Cir's Deep Dark Secrets

After watching episode seven of The Boy Next World, I need to talk about this pretty (black-coded) bitch.

Because are there really parallel worlds?

Or is this Cir trying to save himself?

Cir is such a dark blue that he is sometimes black, and even when he should be happy, he is still so dark.

In the beginning, he was still dark but lightening up as he was connecting to Phu.

But ever since his mom crept back into the story, he has returned to the darkness.

And it has lingered.

Cir fell asleep in this shirt at the end of episode six after getting a blowjob from Phu. Looks blue, right?

Because it is a lighter blue since he was happy.

And yet, after spending a few nights with Phu in his bed, Cir is darker.

He spent the entire day with Phu being the best Blue Boy.

He was always there, telling Phu he wasn't going anywhere, and showing him that as well.

But the darkness was always there too.

Because it's the warning that Cir keeps ignoring.

It's right there in his face, but he is avoiding it.

It's the darkness he is hiding under his blue.

And that darkness is starting to affect Phu.

It's alarming just how much Cir's dark secrets are hurting Phu.

Yet Cir just keeps ignoring the sirens.

And now he made a mistake by having sex with Phu.

He ignored the red flags, and now the darkness is eclipsing everything, so this isn't a beautiful love-making moment that Phu was expecting. No. This is bad.

Because those dark secrets have tainted something that was once so bright and light.

And those dark secrets just keep building.

But the one that is harming Phu the most is the one that started all of this.

Now that they've had sex, Phu feels immense guilt believing he is cheating another Phu out of this love. After sex, he now realizes how strong his feelings are, yet he admits he doesn't deserve this. He thinks he is a substitute, and that he is just filling in for the one Cir actually loves. This love is not his nor could it ever be his. He is the replacement Phu. And why wouldn't he think this since this is the exact lie Cir fed him.

And that's why I think this beautiful black-coded bitch is Cir trying to warn himself that time is running out before all his dark secrets that he has kept buried deep within himself will be exposed and ruin the one bright spot he ever had in his miserable existence.

Parallel worlds could very well be a possibility, but Cir's problem is himself, so if parallel worlds really are a thing, why not let another Cir live his life for a bit while he is stuck thinking about the consequences of actions? Perhaps this horrifyingly white padded cell will motivate him to come clean since he already fucked up and took Phu's virginity without being honest, which has caused Phu extreme emotional pain.

Even Jin and his big ass white lie got a little light via the car's headlights during his kiss in the dark garage with Wim, the guy who is afraid of the dark, because although Jin hasn't admitted he can read Wim's mind, he did admit that he bargained with Cir to make the date happen.

But unlike Jin, whatever light Cir had is quickly disappearing as his deep dark lies begin to overshadow every other thing that has happened between him and Phu.

And in an instant, there is a barrier between them.

So I'm hoping that beautiful black-coded bitch in Cir talks some sense into him because darkness only breeds secrets.

But light exposes them.
