Backstory: Agni grew up in a sketchy neighborhood in Under Rageous. Surrounded by violence and bounties, he was forced to work at a young age to help support his family. Everyday he feared he’d die on the dangerous streets. As he grew, so did his pent up aggression and rage. His parents split and he was left along in his fathers care, going to his mothers on the weekends. As soon as he reached eighteen, he booked it out of his fathers care and packed his bags and searched for a place to call home. Eventually coming across an old warehouse for welding/ construction, he contacted the owner and bought the warehouse for 1600 Bitz. (16,000 USD thank you Nally for helping me with that) He gradually moved in all while fixing up the place, teaching himself how to weld and construct things. Ever so slowly, he eventually started to make and sell traps to other Rageons for their bounties, getting paid good! Unable to keep up with the high demand of traps, Agni started hiring other Rageons who needed a place to work, making sure to pay them fairly. Word spread that PyroTech Construction made high quality traps for a fair price, causing a certain Strobe Rageon to hear about Agni’s little company. One busy day however, Agni was busy connecting sharp metal teeth to a snap-trap when a razor sharp steel plate fell from a steel beam and sliced his arm clean off. The shock sent him back as the adrenaline kept him from feeling pain. He was rushed to the hospital, where he got the wound closed off, somehow surviving all that blood loss. After he recovered, he immediately began working on making himself a prosthetic, taking months to build and program. After half a year, he finally completed the prosthetic, and just had to install and activate the neuro connector. A neuro connector is like a hearing aid but it cuffs behind the ear. Pressing the small button, a long surgical needle pierced into his head, right to the section of his brain that moved and controlled his arm. Bam. He had a new arm now!

By Reduxx Team November 6, 2023

Editor’s Note: Reduxx has submitted a detailed report on the subject of this article to CyberTip, a leading digital child protective authority which connects reports with local law enforcement. In accordance with our ethical standards, CyberTip was contacted PRIOR to the writing of this article.

A trans-identified male who promotes nudism has been reported to child protective authorities following a disturbing video beginning to circulate on social media showing him exposing his genitals and breasts in the presence of a small child.

The video first began to circulate on November 5. Reduxx is withholding the direct link to the video as the child’s face is not censored.

In the video, an adult post-operative transgender male is seen lounging nude in what appears to be a family residence. The man spreads his legs repeatedly, exposing his surgically-constructed vagina, while a young boy is sitting a few feet in front of him. He then stands to retrieve a trans-pride flag which he holds in front of his body.

Reduxx has identified the male in the video as Marie Willa Bobo-Smith, a nudist activist who resides in Fort Bragg, California.

Bobo-Smith, formerly known as Maurice Smith, has been a pro-nudist activist for a number of years, maintaining a strong presence in the nudist community since 2012.

Bobo-Smith prior to his transition.

Bobo-Smith has maintained a blog titled Simple Naturist for 13 years, regularly posting lengthy diatribes about his belief that public nudity should be made legal and protected by the law.

“As Americans, we live in an insane world, where you can legally carry and conceal a gun, but risk imprisonment should anyone see your genitals,” Bobo-Smith wrote in December of 2012. “We live in a world where children entertain fantasies of killing innocents in video games, but the sight of a nipple is unacceptable and psychologically damaging.”

Bobo-Smith began transitioning in 2018, beginning a hormone regimen. The next year, he launched a GoFundMe campaign requesting donations to help him afford the “gender confirmation surgery” he wanted to undergo with Dr. Marci Bowers in the Bay Area.

Bowers, a trans-identified male, is the current President of the World Professional Association of Transgender Health, and has become controversial for his role in promoting the medical transitioning of children.

An old Vimeo account belonging to Bobo-Smith pre-transition featured videos of the man doing a number of tasks while nude, including cooking, washing his dogs, and cleaning.

But in some of the videos he is in public, such as in one where he is naked while driving, and another while he is pumping gas at a service station.

In 2021, Bobo-Smith participated in a nudist rally in Fort Bragg, giving a speech at the event in which he condemned the stigma surrounding nudity and relating it to an experience he had walking topless following the hormone-induced growth of his breasts.

“Imagine: that as a transgender woman I am the living embodiment of a sexual double standard. Men can walk around top free and post photos of themselves on the internet and when a woman does it, she then becomes a slut, a whore and illegal,” he declared.

Bobo-Smith has been married since 1993, with his wife remaining with him throughout his transition. According to his social media history, he has children and grandchildren.

Over the years, Bobo-Smith has admitted to exposing his children to his genitalia, slamming critics of the practice as close-minded puritans. He insists there are no sinister motives to the practice, and advocates for nudism as a “lifestyle.”

In one post recently shared to his Instagram, Bobo-Smith uploaded a photo of a child’s doll representing a little girl with a penis. Bobo-Smith describes keeping a stuffed animals in his bedroom, along with a child’s doll intended to resemble a little girl with a penis.

“I got to have a great conversation with my grandson [name redacted] this morning. He’s six years old. He finally saw this naked doll sitting amongst our stuffed animals in mine and Marge’s bedroom,” Bobo-Smith describes. “When he saw it, he shockingly exclaimed ‘meemaw!'”

Bobo-Smith then describes a short exchange in which the child says “boys have penises,” to which he responds: “some boys have a penis and some boys have a vulva.”

On TikTok, Bobo-Smith has claimed he also has fostered children, with other “nudists” curiously asking him how he managed to get approval to become a foster parent despite his open nudism.

In the comments from a TikTok video uploaded in May, Bobo-Smith advised another nudist aspiring to be a foster parent that his nudism had been “addressed and resolved” at one point during the fostering process.

While Bobo-Smith has now deleted his TikTok account, Reduxx was able to archive multiple videos Bobo-Smith published following the initial outburst of concern prompted by the footage of him exposing himself to a child.

“People on the bird app formerly known as Twitter seem really shocked by a recent post of mine and asked ‘you mean your family and your friends have all seen you naked?’ Well, yeah. Everyone I know has seen me naked,” Bobo-Smith says. “I see nudity as normal and I do my utmost to show other people that nudity is a normal thing.”

Best Pool Cues for Beginners: A Comprehensive Guide

Whether you're entering the world of billiards as a hobby or you're looking to up your game, the right pool cue can make all the difference. Pool Cue for beginners, the vast array of cues available can be overwhelming. This guide not only simplifies the process of selecting the perfect cue but also dives into the nuances that can improve your performance and enjoyment of the game. From the point of purchase to the cue's construction, we'll cover what you need to know as you take this exciting step in your billiards journey.

Understanding the Parts of a Pool Cue

Before we discuss what constitutes a "good" pool cue, it's essential to understand the anatomy of this essential billiards component. A standard pool cue consists of several parts:

The Tip

The tip of the cue is usually made of leather and is the part that makes contact with the cue ball. It is vital for aiming and applying the right amount of spin and action to the ball.

The Ferrule

This is the small, white (typically) piece that connects the tip to the shaft. It adds a layer of protection and stability to the tip.

The Shaft

The long, slender part of the cue is where most of the action happens. High-quality shafts are often made from hard rock maple or other durable woods.

The Butt

The butt of the cue is the thicker part at the back, usually where the brand logo is located. It's where the weight of the cue can be adjusted to the player's preference.

The Wrap

Some cues will have a grip around the butt called a wrap. It is often made of Irish linen or leather and provides a comfortable and grippable surface.

The Joint

The joint is where the butt and the shaft meet. Its quality impacts the cue's 'feel' and can influence the accuracy and power of shots.

The Pin

This is the part that secures the joint in place. There are various types, but the most common for beginners are the 5/16 x 18 and 3/8 x 10 pins.

Understanding these parts will give you an edge in your choice of cue and help you maintain and upgrade it as needed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Pool Cue

Weight

Pool cues typically weigh between 18 to 21 ounces, with 19 to 20 ounces being the most popular range. The right weight for you is largely personal, but beginners often fare well with a cue on the heavier side as it assists in delivering a more powerful shot.

Balance Point

The balance point is where you can balance the cue on one finger. A cue with a balance point higher up the shaft requires less effort to maneuver and can result in smoother strokes, making it easier for beginners to control.

Shaft Taper

The shaft taper refers to the width of the shaft as you move from the ferrule to the joint. A pro taper provides a consistent stroke, and although not commonly found on beginner cues, it's worth considering if your budget allows.

Cue Length

Standard cue lengths range from 57 to 58 inches. Taller players might prefer a longer cue, while children and shorter individuals should opt for a 48 to 52-inch cue for better maneuverability.

Material

The material of the cue affects everything from its price to its playability. Maple is a common and affordable choice, while cues made with higher quality woods or even carbon fiber offer more durability and a smoother stroke.

Price

It's common for beginners to start with a budget-friendly cue. However, keep in mind that you get what you pay for to a large extent. Investing in a slightly pricier cue can mean better materials, craftsmanship, and a cue that lasts longer and performs better.

Joint Type

Cues come in various joint types, such as wood-to-wood, piloted, and stainless steel. A piloted joint, which has a steel pin inside the wood shaft, is often recommended for beginners due to its added stability.

Paying attention to these factors will steer you towards a cue that not only feels right in your hands but aligns with your budget and playing style.

Top Picks for Best Pool Cues for Beginners

Start your billiards adventure on the right foot with a cue that marries quality with affordability. Below are recommendations for the top picks for beginner's pool cues.

1. Viper Commercial 1-Piece Hardwood Billiard/Pool House Cue

This budget-friendly cue is a solid starter option. It may lack the fancy features, but it provides a straight and true shot, perfect for learning the game.

2. Iszy Billiards B11-19oz

The Iszy Billiards Cue is a great mid-range option suitable for beginners. It offers a nice balance and weight range (19 ounces) along with a reasonable price tag.

3. Champion Sport Dark Black Pool Cue Stick

This cue suits players who are keen on aesthetics as it has a classic, dark design. It's also well balanced and has a slightly heavier weight which can help with shots that require a bit more power.

Each of these cues offers its unique advantages, and all are excellent choices to accompany you in mastering the art of billiards.

Maintaining and Upgrading Your Cue

Once you've selected the cue that's right for you, it's important to maintain it properly. Regularly scuffing the tip with a cue shaper and using cue chalk will ensure the tip remains in good condition for optimal performance.

Upgrading your cue can also be a rewarding experience as you advance in your game. Upgrades can range from changing the tip to improving the cue's weight or adding a new wrap. Understanding these possibilities allows you to continue tailoring your cue as you grow as a player.

Conclusion

Selecting the right pool cue as a beginner is the first step in a long and rewarding billiards journey. Ensuring your cue is well-constructed, comfortable, and suits your playing style will set you on the path to success. Remember, the best cue for you is the one that feels right and helps you develop your skills. With time and practice, your cue will become an extension of yourself as you sink balls and enjoy the game. Happy shooting!

[shes-an-iso]

One interesting thing TRON Identity does is that it highlights the ISO's capacity to transcend traditional dichotomies. Such as red equals evil ect.

YES.

Sierra is a huge example of that. And, ngl, I was terrified of Sierra. The moment I learned that Sierra was only presenting himself to us as a humanoid figure because it "made us comfortable to resemble a User," I was so scared. It was straight out of the film CONTACT, and I have a huge fear of aliens, so I couldn't look at him the same after that, lol. But, at the same time, that's incredibly brilliant of the game devs to write. Of course what is inside the computer, if it is not made from the User, would not be in the image of the User, and so our human brains may not be able to even comprehend it. It makes so much sense. I wonder if Sierra and "his kind," as so many refer to in the game, are ISOs v2.0 or the like--wherein lies the huge problem I have with the game, this dissonance between ISOs, this classism, this prejudice. ISOs exist harmoniously as pacifists, they know they are all different, and they are in turn accepting of everyone and everything. So I really don't like that there's an "us and them" attitude with this. It comes off cheap and shitty. This is an ISO only server, we dealt with this in Flynn's Grid--it was the huge plot point and it made sense. Basics and ISOs. But this is only ISOs. So why did they rage war against each other??????? It makes me mad. Sigh. Ah well.

Prinz, on the other hand, is in red. And we see the "Core Enforcers" at the very beginning, in yellow/orange--which Query doesn't seem to like very much. So already there's a distaste for the warmer colors, which has me a little..... mmmmm. Salty. that is sooooo a thousand cycles ago pro There is literally nothing wrong with Prinz worshipping Kevin Flynn, and I don't understand how a single ISO in this server could not believe in him, as they were literally plucked from the Grid BY FLYNN and put into this one, with Flynn himself even visiting this Grid and helping oversee construction in the Betrayal era. But Prinz is described as this crazy over-the-top hubris-filled zealot???? It just. I dunno, man.

[minalblood]

Ep 2 is here now and I gotta say, the fact that Lata just finds all things monster fascinating is my fav thing cuz that is just me. Her playing with the jaw of the zombie was adorable and I wish i could've done the same. Carlos finding it disturbing just added to the charm of the whole scene.

Millie immediately yelling at John before he even got the chance to exit the car was oof, big oof. Mainly cuz it reminded me of my own mother's control tendencies. And because of that, I also tend to try and understand her point: admittedly John could've died and she wouldn't have know anything til after the fact. I get that fear, especially after the 2 years of no contact and likely a not good break before that with John at war. But fuck if she didn't just make it way harder for John to ever try bridging that gap or learning actual skills on dealing with conplex shit like that because she was just unreasonable about it all and taking it out on him. And the fact that La Tunda is actually calm when talking to John later is sooo interesting. I can't say she was nicer than Millie, cuz she wasn't but it def counts as another of those [insert crowley here saying :so my demons were too polite?] moments. I just found it all soo interesting and I have to add thay sadly her story at the end of the episode where she tells John about her and Henry's dealing with arguements doesnt actually help her case too much because of how she reacted initially. All thay teaches John is that he can take out his fear on others and then smooth it over with an "ull understand when ure older/had kids/been through similar shit" she is somply not constructive at all. But it a bit of an improvement because she, i believe, meant it as an explanation and apology despite it sounding as an excuse to me.

John being clearly not a pro at hunting or even just the type of fighting style hunting requires (and especially with a group of hunters) sent me. It's soo good. And it just makes me think of SPN!John learning to hunt and with the trauma of Mary's death it suddenly seems like even more reasons he didn't engage with a hunter's network. He just isn't a team player in that sense, he's too hyperfocused on his own fight that he loses sight of anyone else, and more than that, he had to have learned to adjust the fighting style he'd known to something that would work for hunting. It was basically ego and refusal to change, surpise surprise. TW!John tho keeps trying even after he fucks up, and while Im sure the constatly getting splashed with monster guts isnt fun, he doesn't have the same hang ups about not being perceived as indestructible. He essentially rolls with the punches and learns and is allowed to have flaws on display. Its not the pedestal SPN!John is put and puts himself on.

Mary's bullheadedness is absolutely fantastic in an extremely frustrating way. She is so fixated on getting through the case as fast as possible so she can get back to finding her dad that I actually got some season 1 Sam vibes from her this episode. I will say I find it soo interesting we got a John focus, cuz we all know the Cambells aren't that off for La Tunda to go for. Carlos giving her a pep talk about it and also admonishing her for her behaviour is def deserved and just top notch friendship tbh. As is the Cabaret gag with Mary, Carlos and Lata. It shows in a small but important way that these 3 def have a history and it's a long and intricate one. And u see even more later after John gets taken. It's in the way they talk to each other even in a high stress situation. Also Mary ackowledging she fucked up and thanking Caelos at the end... ughhhh I love growth.

Ada get to show off a bit more in this one, her scrying was genuinely sooo good, like this episode does a fantastic job of making you ask yourself what is actually up with Ada, whats her deal?? Because on the one hand, she recognized the flower off the top of her head and helped Lata instantly, on the other hand the way the scrying was shot was almost unnearving. And im not sure if it's cuz spn got me/us used to seeing scrying done by villains or as a subterfuge tactic or what, but yea, it added another air of mystery to Ada. And then u you have her conversation with Millie which has a hell of a ripple effect cuz I genuinely believe it's that converation that led to her actually trying with John at the end a bit. It's not solving anything broken there yet, but it does help. And adding ehat we know of about Ada's past to this makes me cry cuz shes just trying to prevent Millie from making the same mistake she had basically.

Carlos was more mediator this episode. Between the Lata and Carlos show (as per usual their friendship is everything to me) and seeing the complexity of that relationship as it stands and their dynamic with each other, to lecturing Mary on her behaviour, to just being highly competent at the job overall. Like they might not have done too much in the foreground, but damn if it wasn't a shitton of background work there. You can tell here that for all the "Im a solo act " bravado, Carlos is actually very much a team player and it's due to the emotional inteligence they have thats on full display here, in their usual jokey manner of course, that thats the case.

Aaaannd we get the 1st mention of Betty in this. I won't touch on that in this one but I like Betty a lot.

The end of this episode is my fav thing. Because it's pizza and joking and hanging out beside having the plot move forward once Ada brings up what shes been up to this episode. And still the focus isn't on the demon memories, but on them bonding. Uhhhh I love it.

We also have the 1st glimpse of the Akrida and if you were skulking around here when the show was airing in autumn u know I think the Akrida are adorable and I want a plushy with them. So the pure joy the shot of who we now know is likely Roxy with all them little critters around gave me cannot be overstated.

This ep def is much better paced than the Pilot, and also just lays clear the main there of this show, which is intergenerational trauma. It literally slaps u with it, it's front and centre and will continue to be shown in its many varried forms as the show progressed and I fucking love it for that because ultimately that is what Dean is doing here, beside once more saving the world. He is like i said, woeking through his own intergenerational trauma through these young versions of his parents that haven't yet had more trauma pilled onto them.

Stay tuned for ep 3 whenever I find the time to rewatch it!

How to Maintain Your Deck After Installation in Rehoboth Beach

Installing a deck is a significant investment that enhances your outdoor living space. At First State Decks, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch deck construction services in Rehoboth Beach. However, once your custom deck is installed, maintenance becomes key to preserving its beauty and functionality. Here’s a guide on how to maintain your deck after installation.

1. Regular Cleaning

Keeping your deck clean is essential for its longevity. Here are some cleaning tips:

Sweep Regularly: Remove debris, leaves, and dirt with a broom. This simple step can prevent stains and mold growth.

Wash with Soap and Water: Use a mild detergent and a soft-bristle brush to scrub your deck every few months. This helps remove dirt and algae that may accumulate.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning, avoid bleach and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wood or composite material.

2. Inspect for Damage

Regular inspections are crucial for identifying any issues early on. Look for:

Cracks or Splits: Inspect the boards for any signs of damage. If you notice cracks, contact a deck repair service promptly to address the issue.

Loose Boards: Ensure that all boards are securely fastened. Loose boards can pose a safety risk.

Signs of Rot: Check for soft spots or discoloration, indicating rot or decay. If you find any, consult professional deck builders for repairs.

3. Apply Sealant or Stain

To protect your deck from the elements, consider applying a sealant or stain. Here’s what you should know:

Timing: For new decks, wait at least a few months before applying sealant or stain to allow the wood to dry.

Choose the Right Product: Select a high-quality sealant or stain designed for outdoor use. This will protect your deck from moisture and UV rays.

Reapplication: Reapply sealant or stain every couple of years, or as recommended based on your specific materials.

4. Address Repairs Promptly

If you notice any issues during your inspections, don’t hesitate to reach out for repairs. Regular maintenance can prevent small problems from becoming costly repairs. Our team at First State Decks offers reliable deck repair services to keep your outdoor space in excellent condition.

5. Consider Professional Help

While some maintenance tasks are easy to handle, others may require the expertise of local deck builders. Here’s when to call the pros:

Complex Repairs: If your deck has significant damage, a custom deck builder can provide the necessary expertise to restore it.

Installation of Accessories: If you want to add features like railings or lighting, it’s best to consult with deck builders in Wilmington, DE, for professional installation.

6. Protect Against the Elements

Weather can take a toll on your deck, especially in coastal areas like Rehoboth Beach. Consider these protective measures:

Clear Drainage Areas: Ensure that water drains away from your deck to prevent water damage.

Use Furniture Protectors: Place pads under furniture legs to avoid scratches and dents on your deck’s surface.

Cover in Winter: If you live in an area with harsh winters, consider covering your deck during the off-season to protect it from snow and ice.

Conclusion

Maintaining your deck after installation is crucial for its longevity and aesthetic appeal. By following these tips, you can ensure your deck remains a beautiful and functional part of your home for years to come. For expert assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out to First State Decks, your trusted deck builder near me.

Backstory: Agni grew up in a sketchy neighborhood in Under Rageous. Surrounded by violence and bounties, he was forced to work at a young age to help support his family. Everyday he feared he’d die on the dangerous streets. As he grew, so did his pent up aggression and rage. His parents split and he was left along in his fathers care, going to his mothers on the weekends. As soon as he reached eighteen, he booked it out of his fathers care and packed his bags and searched for a place to call home. Eventually coming across an old warehouse for welding/ construction, he contacted the owner and bought the warehouse for 1600 Bitz. (16,000 USD thank you Nally for helping me with that) He gradually moved in all while fixing up the place, teaching himself how to weld and construct things. Ever so slowly, he eventually started to make and sell traps to other Rageons for their bounties, getting paid good! Unable to keep up with the high demand of traps, Agni started hiring other Rageons who needed a place to work, making sure to pay them fairly. Word spread that PyroTech Construction made high quality traps for a fair price, causing a certain Strobe Rageon to hear about Agni’s little company. One busy day however, Agni was busy connecting sharp metal teeth to a snap-trap when a razor sharp steel plate fell from a steel beam and sliced his arm clean off. The shock sent him back as the adrenaline kept him from feeling pain. He was rushed to the hospital, where he got the wound closed off, somehow surviving all that blood loss. After he recovered, he immediately began working on making himself a prosthetic, taking months to build and program. After half a year, he finally completed the prosthetic, and just had to install and activate the neuro connector. A neuro connector is like a hearing aid but it cuffs behind the ear. Pressing the small button, a long surgical needle pierced into his head, right to the section of his brain that moved and controlled his arm. Bam. He had a new arm now!

Third Level Society: First Version

Story Six: Meona Bell

Two days ago, news broke of the capture of Ceri Mains. She is in custody now, no longer on the run.

Some people, like Kara Martins, see this as good news, while others, such as myself and Ivella Ogden, see this as bad news.

Regardless, here is what we know about the story having transpired since September 6.

It turns out that immediately after everything happened, Ceri illegally crossed the fence boundary into Gentry County Airfield and took a custom-made rogue airship which cable-dropped her into Lerutan. We believe at this point that she took on yet another unknown disguise and boarded a cable-train to West Terredon, where she took another cable-train across the border into the Great North. There, she traveled to Terredon Airfield, where she took an airship across the Ocean to the Acrean Republic, landing in its capital, Arlemn.

This was an overnight flight; so Ceri landed in Arlemn on the morning of September 7. And it was in Arlemn that she was believed to have met with an anonymous disguise artist who form-fitted her into a vibrant figure named Rachel Marie Clymer. As Rachel Marie Clymer, she took a rail line, then traveling car, to Oberhell, a rural village located in the Northeasternmost part of the Republic. She had secret darkfire contacts stationed along the way who pipelined resources to her location in the little town, where she and her friends set to work to construct a secret granular plane housing a replica of Cabotton University.

And apparently, as part of this construction, they also built some sort of escape route in the case that they were raided.

But there are some factors. First of all, darkfire is legal in the Acrean Republic. In fact, darkfire legalization was the catalyst for the revolution against the old Kingdom in the first place.

Then there was the political situation with the town of Oberhell, itself. Over the generations, the village became dominated by two family factions: one faction roughly in the North part, who was pro-Royalist, and one roughly in the South part who was anti-Royalist.

And the stakes were high with this because of the structure of Oberhell. To the Northeast of the town stood a range of low mountains on the other side of which stood the coast of the Circlarian Ocean. The village, in fact, lies atop the slopes of this range going down in the direction of the Southwest, and is lined with a "cascade-lake" system, which flows into a geographical region known as the Eastern Acrean Water Basin.

The village utilizes this water system through what is known as branch irrigation. At the very top of this system, geographically speaking, stands a farm which has the largest lake of the cascade system and holds the chief canal which branches off into the smaller irrigation canals to the smaller farms with the smaller ponds. Whoever is in control of this property at the top is effectively in control of Oberhell.

Since 1086, this top property was community-owned, with the inhabitants consisting of the Town Leader, who is elected democratically from year-to-year to a one-year term.

As mentioned before, there are two factions: the pro-Royalists and anti-Royalists. And they, for the past several generations, and more intensely since the 1275 Treaty between Retun and Acrea, have been volleying to each have a figure from their faction serve as the elected Town Leader.

And may I mention that an issue hotly contested during this time was the issue of the darkfire quarry in the area, for darkfire has been legalized in Acrea since the establishment of the Acrean Republic, a move very much opposed by the pro-Royalists.

Just last year, for their 1280 election, an anti-Royalist won the Town Leader position by, I believe, a margin of about 10 votes; for context, Oberhell has a total population of about 800 to 900 people. The opposing pro-Royalist side claimed that the town's Ballot House was rigged because it had been administered by an anti-Royalist family. This was brought as a contest toward the Judge of the town, who ordered both a pro-Royalist committee and anti-Royalist committee to count the same ballots in a blind-screen fashion to rule out bias. The outcome from both committees was both the same, favoring the victory of the anti-Royalist as the Town Leader. Needless to say, the pro-Royalists were quite unhappy with this, to the point that street scuffles started breaking out.

Of note was an incident involving the transaction of a local bird known as a heneagle. The story goes that an anti-Royalist man gave a fully-grown, adult heneagle to a woman of a pro-Royalist family as a gift. The woman's father was upset with this and snatched the heneagle and chopped off its head. The man having given the gift was named Qwar; he and the woman, named Bella, ran off in fear. However, Qwar ran to his older brother, the original owner of the heneagle, and told him of the incident. The brother retaliated and confronted Bella's father in the Oberhell Market Square, getting into a tussle proving to be a public spectacle. The Oberhell Police got involved, jailing both Qwar's brother and Bella's brother, and the Court hearing that followed imposed ten days of jail time to both people.

It turned out that Bella's father was the brother of a business owner who was the employer for both Qwar and his brother. And thus, Qwar and his brother were both fired from their jobs. Qwar, his brother, and their friends retaliated on September 8 of this year by confronting the boss in the Oberhell Market Square and roughing him up. The boss, expecting this, had himself a bunch of ruffians for protection. And thus, a town-wide rumble broke out.

This was when Ceri Mains intervened. Disguised as Rachel Marie Clymer, Ceri made her debut with her unusually loud and vibrant voice to stop the fighting. Now here, I do suspect that darkfire was involved, for the mass of street fighters was quite swayed by Rachel's call to stop. The next day, September 9, Rachel performed the public act of taking a paint stick and drawing a vibrant white line through the middle of the Market Square, and through the entire town via the Main Path, and stated that pro-Royalists shall remain North of this line, and anti-Royalists to the South. She emphasized no one could cross over that line, even to communicate with each other; in fact, the only way to communicate was through the Town Council or the Judge.

The government of the Town was very much influenced by this and approved of Rachel's move. And then on September 10, the Town Council voted to split into two Councils: the North Town Council consisting of the pro-Royalists and the South Town Council consisting of the anti-Royalists. Only the position of Town Leader and Judge remained undivided.

The next day, there was quickly built a canvas-fence running along the line drawn by Ceri, disguised as Rachel. Whether or not Ceri pushed for that remains unclear. However, an issue arose when, on September 12, Rachel was approached by Mara Ferlink from the pro-Royalist side, who stated that this divide separated her from her romantic partner, Esther Young, from the anti-Royalist side. Rachel facilitated their reunion under special circumstances, as Rachel relocated her abode, at this time, to the property where lived the Town Leader. As part of this arrangement, Mara and Esther were said to have joined Ceri Mains in assisting her in the granular plane effort.

On September 13, Esther agreed to travel to Cabotton University to begin recruiting students here. It is said that Dyla Cormick was ultimately the one to assist Esther, but Dyla will not confirm this, not even with me.

Meanwhile, back in Oberhell, serious construction began on the escape route from the granular plane. This involved a replica of the submarine prototype that Ceri Mains had used to escape from the Mount Carris Perimeter back in June. So the granular plane, where sat the replica of the Cabotton University campus, bore the same replica of the University Lake with this version opening to an underground canal led through a granular string corridor away from the granular plane in Oberhell and into the Circlarian Ocean Northeast of the hills. This very same route was also planned to serve the opposite purpose: to help others in the Mount Carris Perimeter to escape in the same fashion as Ceri Mains and then to sail out of the Inland Sea, across the vast Circlarian Ocean, and then to finally go back up the granular string corridor to the University granular plane replica underneath Oberhell. Construction for this was very quick and was expected to be fully operational by November 1.

The only issue was the speculation on whether or not the Retunian government, knowing now of Ceri Mains' escape route, closed the underwater route out of Lake Maern. So while Esther Young was in Cabotton, Ceri dispatched Mara to go to the Mount Carris Perimeter to report on what she saw there.

That was on September 14. On September 17, Daniel Carter and Stephen Martins, having followed Ceri Mains' trail, arrived in Oberhell; although they could not reach Ceri Mains, because she had gotten the Town Leader to protect her. Both factions and the government of Oberhell were convinced, at this point, that Rachel Marie Clymer was a genuine identity and not another individual in disguise, though Carter and Martins had begun spreading sentiment among primarily the pro-Royalist faction. On September 18, the Royalists went to the Town Leader, stating that Rachel Marie Clymer was, in fact, the notorious Ceri Mains, and demanded to have her handed over to Carter and Martins.

The Town Leader refused, though, and instead had Rachel Marie Clymer's abode moved to a more protected location on the Town Leader property.

Roughly between the dates of September 19 through 24 came a long-lasting rain storm, as is normal for the local climate at that time of the year. And the pro-Royalists, disgruntled by the anti-Royalist Town Leader's stubborn refusal to give up the refuge of Rachel Marie Clymer, decided that the circumstances were ripe for a perfect act of retaliation; they began damming up the lakes and canals on their side as to cause flooding on the other side.

The first of these stone-clay dams began going up on September 19. The next day, both the North and South Councils convened in the hopes of achieving mutual consolation and de-escalation, but talks failed. As a result, the anti-Royalists began diking up their lakes and canals to protect themselves from catastrophic flooding. Pro-Royalists responded to this by crossing over and destroying these dikes. On September 21, amid the rains and rising water levels, the anti-Royalists crossed over and destroyed the pro-Royalist dams. During that act, pro-Royalists confronted them, and spell discharge fights broke out. Police intervened and many were arrested. Then the Judge ordered the dividing fence to be fortified and to have each of the two sections of town hemmed in with fencing surrounding it.

Between September 22 and 24, the rains took their toll. The canals and lakes overflowed their banks, and catastrophic flooding struck both the North and South sides of Oberhell, killing 123 people.

Daniel Carter and Stephen Martins came out to claim that this was the fault of a darkfire act carried out by Ceri Mains, disguised as Rachel Marie Clymer. Though only half of the population of Oberhell believed this, Carter was actually able to convince the Retunian Department of State. He succeeded in calling a special conference with them on the Galapolgis Island of Reinar on October 10.

On October 4, Mara Ferlink is said to have returned to Oberhell, where she told Ceri Mains that the underwater route she had originally took out of the Mount Carris Perimeter was now blocked by an underwater grate. Ceri resolved that this could be bypassed with an underwater corridor on a granular string, very much like the one being built in Oberhell.

There, however, stood the issue of recruiting helpers with this Mount Carris pipeline. And this, I believe, was what Ceri was stuck on when she was finally captured.

Now I need to address how Daniel Carter was able to capture Ceri Mains despite darkfire being legal in the Acrean Republic.

Carter may be elderly at this point, but he is still strong physically and mentally. He is a seasoned veteran when it comes to hunting down darkfire figures, a vocation I continue to view with more and more disgust. He was, nevertheless, anticipating a retirement from his career, and was determined to have one more "big hunt" to signal this departure. Thus, he saw Ceri Mains as an ideal opportunity.

Carter was one of the first people to note how Ceri Mains happened to carry out her escape just as the violence of the Weyne-North feud was reaching its fever pitch. In the days after Ceri's escape, Carter traveled from town to town, speaking with family members and friends not directly involved but still in the know of the feud. He was, therefore, able to map out a good diagram of the Weyne, North, and Kormann families and where each member stood in the feud. And under the impression that Ceri used the feud the leverage her escape, Carter studied his diagram to narrow down those who were most likely Ceri Mains conspirators, and suspected three people: Arlen Weyne age 23, Charles Kormann age 23, and Karla North age 19.

Carter then set out to Shon County in the province of Gymia where lived Arlen Weyne. He found Arlen Weyne but could not find evidence connecting him to Ceri Mains, meaning the trip out to Shon County had come to a dead end. He then set out to Joseph County in Gymia, where he met with a local barber who knew Charles Kormann. There, Carter learned that Kormann had apparently stopped over for a haircut recently, and that he had asked to keep a lock of his own hair. Carter mentally drew on his knowledge of darkfire disguise and remembered that some of the more basic and easy-to-implement disguise models involved the use of one's hair. Carter realized that he had a lead with Charles Kormann. He then met with a few of Charles' former classmates and discovered that Charles had made friends with a somewhat shady figure named Kevin Mains.

Carter looked through records and archives on Kevin Mains and discovered that he was, indeed, related to Ceri, as a first cousin. Carter also found Kevin Mains' postal address in Ebony Valley.

Carter then traveled to the town of Ebony Valley and met with the manager of the hotel Standler, who also described Kevin Mains as a "shady fella," and that Kevin Mains was believed to be seeing some woman in the small town of Vale, located in the North part of Gentry County.

On September 5, Daniel Carter went to Vale, where he learned from the owner of a local grocer that Kevin was spotted seeing some seclusive individual in a fenced-in property. Carter went to said property and found it locked and deserted, thus a dead end.

However, this gave Carter reason to believe that Kevin Mains was somewhere in Gentry County; so he reported this Gentry County authorities, which prompted the University Campus lockdown.

Carter was apparently reading reports of the University lockdown when a thought occurred to him: The Third Level Society. He realized to his alarm that Ceri Mains might possibly be attempting to hijack the dymensional plane there, a very lucrative thing for darkfire cartels to do. Sure there were mechanisms in place to protect the dymensional plane, but, like Dungeonmaster Julian Mackwell, Carter was concerned that the mechanisms would be outdated and ineffective. Thus the reason that Carter went to the University, itself.

So everything that followed involving my input when I met Carter happened on September 6. We had our intense conversation with Julian Mackwell, especially when that letter, which now makes all the sense in the world, left Julian, at the time, in shock and confusion. It was when we met with Mary Kormann and her friend, "Parker," that Carter realized that he had found exactly who he was looking for, why Parker left, and why Carter left as well.

Parker had fit exactly the description that Carter had found when looking for Kevin Mains. Parker was Kevin Mains.

Kevin Mains had realized at that point in our walk to the Caucus Chamber that it was time to escape and go back to where he was in assisting Ceri Mains. We do not know what exactly his role was at that point, but he was to leave before he was caught; and this was exacerbated when Carter began getting suspicious of him. While we were in the Chamber going through roll call, Carter, outside, confronted Kevin Mains as Kevin Mains was leaving Campus and asked him if he had been through the checkpoint. Kevin said "yes" but then tried to avoid Carter. Carter, taking no chances, tried to get Kevin to go back and meet with the checkpoint Campus Watch Officers again. When Kevin refused and said it wasn't necessary, Carter tried taking him by the arm and forcing him. Kevin resisted him, ran off, then turned and fired a spellfire discharge at him. Carter did not draw his talisman in time, and was knocked to the ground.

It was then and there that Daniel Orville Carter realized that Mary Kormann was Ceri Mains. It was Carter who alerted the Campus Watch to this, thus prompting the Campus Watch to evacuate the Chamber and close in on Mary.

As we all know, Ceri Mains escaped. Carter suspected that Kevin and Ceri went to Terredon, after talking to more witnesses. So he alerted authorities and had one of the cable trains stopped just before the border to the Great North. However, neither Ceri nor Kevin were on board.

All Carter knew was that Ceri and Kevin were somewhere in the Great North. Beyond that, Carter completely lost track of them. He called upon the Edoran authorities to try and search, but the Edoran authorities refused, citing scant evidence.

Carter had no leads whatsoever until the arrival of Esther Young on September 14. Esther was quite the avowed activist as I remember, doing quite the good job of rallying Cabotton students together to call for the pardon of Mary Kormann, culminating for the call to legalize darkfire here as in the Acrean Republic; a call I believe, by the way, is not going anywhere any time soon.

Carter believed that Esther did too good of a job persuading people and began to suspect the involvement of darkfire swaying the emotions of the masses. Carter also heard about the paranoia carried out by Kara Martins and her brother, Stephen, but nonetheless admired their stance against darkfire. Carter apparently asked Kara, first, to go with him to Esther Young's home country, the Acrean Republic, where Carter now believed Ceri was hiding. Kara stated she was unable to, but her brother, Stephen Martins agreed to go.

Thus, Daniel Carter and Stephen Martins set out to follow Esther back to Acrea, with Esther being unaware of this. They took an airship and landed in Arlemn on September 16. Now despite its size, the Acrean Republic has a somewhat smaller population and therefore more of an environment of a small town, politically speaking. And thus rumors travel fast. Before long, Carter and Martins caught wind of a story of a vibrant and charismatic woman named Rachel Marie Clymer, who had a powerful and convincing voice, and had drawn a line through the middle of a small town called Oberhell in order to stop apparent faction fighting.

It was then and there that Carter and Martins suspected the presence of Ceri Mains. They went to the Acrean Department of Justice to ask them to conduct surveillance and investigations. However, their Justice Department refused to even hear of it; after all, darkfire is legal in the Acrean Republic, meaning Ceri Mains was not committing a crime there.

Carter and Martins decided to take matters into their own hands and travel to the small village of Oberhell, where they discovered that not everyone there was so keen on the establishment of the Acrean Republic or the legalization of darkfire. Those opposed were a part of a very strong and conservative pro-Royalist faction, who occupied most of the North part of town. On the night of September 17, he managed to meet with a bunch of them in either a tavern or restaurant there and informed them of the happenings of Ceri Mains. To Carter's delight, the pro-Royalists suspected Rachel Clymer as Ceri Mains.

So that was how the discord in Oberhell started, surrounding Ceri Mains that is.

However, since, once again, darkfire is completely legal in Acrea, Carter was now at a dead end. He determined that he and Stephen Martins would split, with himself heading back to the Basin District while Stephen Martins stayed in Oberhell to observe and report any turn of events.

There was a reason that Carter went back to the Basin District. It was true that the Acrean Republic would effectively give asylum to Ceri Mains. However, Carter realized that he could give all of his reports and information to the Retunian Department of State and have them meet with an Arbitrator from the international Congress of Circlaria with the hope of leveraging international extradition. The Retunian Department of State voiced desire to follow through with this, but could not do so because of a Congress of Circlaria clause requiring Ceri Mains to have caused harm to people in Acrea in order to warrant intervention.

Then came the Oberhell Floods. And this infuriates me, by the way. Ceri Mains in no way, shape, or form had anything to do with the Oberhell Floods. However, the way Stephen Martins reported on it back to Carter, as well as newspapers around the world, managed to fix false blame on her. Thus both the Department of State in Retun as well as the Congress of Circlaria now had cause to intervene. Both entities met on October 3, a letter was sent to an Arbitrator in Cenofan for Congress of Circlaria to meet for weeks of talks involving Carter, the Department of State, and even Prime Minister Edward Jackson. The Arbitrator agreed shortly thereafter.

On October 10, they finally met. The President of the Republic of Acrea was also invited but did not attend. The meeting was voluntary for him, and he invoked a decision not to go in order to keep Acrea neutral in international affairs. In five days, the Arbitrator decided that Carter's reports were enough to authorize an investigation pending the Acrean President's approval. This would have proven futile had Carter not pulled a very political move: to have himself appointed to meet with the President, himself, in lieu of the party of the Conference having taken place. Carter saw an opportunity here, because while the President intended Acrea to remain unaligned, he had also, in order to prevent inflamed politics, convinced the free press to not report so much on Ceri Mains.

Thus, on October 18, Daniel Carter met with the Acrean President in a secret and classified venue, where he proposed, I believe, some convincing terms. I say that because the President agreed to have a special task from abroad come into the country and extradite Ceri Mains, a move that was finally carried out on October 21.

Apparently, on that day, Ceri in her abode received a letter from that task force stating that her site was surrounded and cut off by secretly-stationed armed personnel, including forces stationed at the coast at the head of the granular tunnel. Ceri reported to the back room of a tavern in the town where she was arrested and placed in handcuffs, reportedly stating quietly but confidently: "Let's keep this civil, shall we."

She is now in one of the prison barracks within the Mount Carris Perimeter, reserved for those "out-of-control" individuals that the Finzi government deems outlaws. Though the Finzi regime imposes short sentences in those cells, Ceri Mains has been ordered to remain in there well past the 72 hour mark and until at least her meeting with the Arbitrator for the Retunian federal government on November 7.

It is being echoed across the radio waves and newsreels that the Retunian government is taking no chances regarding what happened last month. But there are many here, not least of all myself and Dyla Cormick, who believe the government is being overly oppressive about this, acting on behalf of Reonard-Chaney-era fear propaganda.

But at this time, there is nothing else to be done.

Is it safe to invest in Dubai real estate?

Dubai, the city that never ceases to amaze us with its luxury and innovations! However, does it make good sense to put your hard-earned cash into Dubai residential or commercial property? Let us go through some of the factors that make Dubai an appealing investment hub. 

Dubai is not only a tourist place, but it is also the city where 25% of buildings globally are under construction, making it an investor's real estate paradise with redefining luxury and innovation. Dubai has proven to be the land of opportunities when it comes to generating wealth because of its strategic position, vibrant economy, and luxury lifestyle.

Here is why you should invest in Dubai Real Estate:

A City on The Rise: 

Side by side with its emerging status as a business and tourism hub, it received desirable attention from property investors worldwide. This, combined with the pro-business policies of its government, has led to economic stability in this strategic location. This has pushed the value of properties up, which appeals to investors looking for high-return investments in Dubai.

Unique Lifestyle and Luxury: 

Dubai is the name of radiance when it comes to luxury. The city flaunts skyscrapers appearing to rise from the belly of urban sprawl, as well as man-made islands. All of this has resulted in a quality of life that is unsurpassed by anywhere else, and both residents and tourists can enjoy top-tier shopping malls, fine dining venues, and entertainment places. By investing in a luxury property in Dubai, you can own a share of this exceptional lifestyle.

One of the most entertaining reasons for investing in Dubai real estate is that there are no personal income taxes and property taxes due. In this tax haven, investors have the means for maximising their profits and capital freedom.

A Healthy Rental Market: 

The varied population of Dubai – which includes a significant expatriate community – means that there is strength in the rental market as well.
