#EMD ENTERTAINMENT

[metalomagnetic]

Either must die snippet

***A dear friend asked on discord if I have some EMD writing left, so here it is.***

----

Harry hadn’t stopped screaming since he entered the kitchen; he’s furious. It’s been a long time since he exploded in such righteous anger.

Cheeks red, jaws set, and those damned eyes of his glinting. Why, it’s almost like before, back in the war. Of course, now at least he can appear somewhat intimidating, what with the size of him. He doesn’t intimidate Voldemort, but it is easy to imagine he could make a random individual cower. Voldemort would like to see Harry going off like this on some pesky journalists or one of his stalker fans. It would be entertaining.

As it is, it’s not entertaining at the moment. It irritates Voldemort to be screamed at.

One flick of his wrist, and he could silence Harry. Another flick and he can send him crashing into the wall. To resist temptation, he drums his fingers on the table, reaches inside to find patience. It’s getting harder and harder to be patient these days. He had to suffer it for a while, but now he’s back in power. A Minister, not a war lord, yet people learned not to trifle with him, not to glare at him, not to talk back.

Even Harry learned, as the years passed by. He minded his business, and he let Voldemort be. Yet it’s not worth the trouble to put him in his place, now. He can already imagine the dramatics that would follow. Harry would break again, and Voldemort will either have to lock him in an attic, never to be allowed in public, or he’d have to put in the effort to build him back up, and he certainly lacks the patience for that. Hermione would be insufferable about it. Delphini would cry.

Harry must be aware of these unpleasant outcomes, too, because while he screams, he doesn’t dare do more than that. He cries, too, tears of pain and frustration and pure despair. That improves Voldemort’s mood a tad. Harry always looks good when he’s crying. “I asked for one thing!” his voice breaks, rough. “One thing! You have everything, and I said nothing- you use me, you use my name, you- I only asked for one thing.”

What a lie. Harry might not verbally ask for much, but those pitiful eyes of his ask plenty, and Voldemort gives it to him. The ungrateful brat.

“And you couldn’t let me have it! You’re a monster!”

Show him, a voice begs, a voice that was dormant for so long, but it’s waking up lately. Show him the monster. Show him how patient you’d been with him all these years. Show him how it could have been.

Voldemort ignores it. His fingers curl around the table, momentarily, because just drumming them isn’t enough anymore, he itches for his wand, but then the crisis is avoided, and he is in control, he won’t snap. He does stand, because it’s safe to do it, his temper is in check, and Harry tired himself out with his tantrum. “You asked for her life,” Voldemort reminds him. “She is alive.” Moly Weasley lives. Thought it seems a misfortune befell her earlier that day. Well earned. Delicious revenge. Harry, sadly, is not the type to enjoy the poetic justice, the mastery in this delivery of punishment.

She lives, like he wanted, she isn’t even in pain, but the score was settled. Fleetingly, he wonders if Bella is happy, if she laughs gleefully in the afterlife. Perhaps not- Bella was never one for poetry, for subtlety. She got her vengeance in blood and screams. Harry stares at him, shaking his head. “I hate you,” he whispers. Voldemort did not want to break him, but he broke, anyway. So fragile, this boy of his, despite his impressive muscles, he shatters like glass. “Nothing new,” Voldemort replies, and walks out of the kitchen.

As soon as he reaches the garden, he feels his anger rising, now that he isn’t focused on not hurting Harry until he explodes into a pile of blood and bones. He gets angrier and angrier with every step. He feels as impotent as Harry must feel. No matter how mad the boy was, how obviously hurting, he did not even think to draw his wand at Voldemort, or punch him, like he once did. He would have- for Molly fucking Weasley, he would have. Harry has few limits, but the Weasleys are one. Harry would crash and burn with them, for them, the world be damned. He didn’t, however, because he must know, deep down, that it wasn’t Voldemort. But he can’t admit it to himself, not consciously. Voldemort is a convenient scapegoat. Voldemort is a monster, rotten and evil, and it’s easier for Harry this way. Easier than the truth.

He Apparates to Lestrange Manor, and he thinks of Bella again. How odd- he hadn’t truly thought of her in years, but now he feels her around; when he walks to Lestrange Manor, is feels like before, like when he’d walk this path and knew he’d find her and Rodolphus inside. He doesn’t, of course. He finds a copy of her, instead. Bella left him copies of herself, echoes that remain to dwell the earth in her absence. Voldemort walks past Andromeda, strolls through the Manor, until he finds Rodolphus’ copy.

Voldemort knows Rabastan is guilty as soon as he lays eyes on him. That stiff posture, the fear in his eyes, even if he keeps his chin up, defiant. “Your wand,” he snarls. Andromeda followed him, she’s frowning, confused, asking what the matter is. The matter is that Voldemort was disobeyed. “Leave,” Rabastan begs her. “Leave,” Voldemort snarls at her. Andromeda is a cheaper copy of Bella, in all senses. Tamer, sadder, broken. But wiser. She leaves.

Rabastan gives up ‘his’ wand. It’s not his, of course, just like Voldemort suspected. He knew, as Harry was screeching, as Voldemort sat there trying not to snap, he was thinking how all this could have been accomplished. Delphini is at Hogwarts, after all. Impossible for her to also be at the Burrow. Unless she Apparated there. But she wouldn’t risk doing all that with her wand. It became quite obvious who would have given her a wand. “It had to be done,” Rabastan dares to speak. “You moved on, but I can’t; not until justice was served. You moved on, but Delphi couldn’t.” Delphini is a far better copy of Bella, compared to Andromeda. But, as Voldemort feared- you do not fear!- as Voldemort suspected, she is no true copy of her mother. Oh, she’s her spitting image, she has some Black traits in her personality, but no- Delphi is his copy. The anger reaches its peak. Voldemort always treasured Rabastan over most others, awarded him more leeway than most others. But Rabastan is no Harry, he’s no Delphini, and Voldemort snaps.

He reminds Rabastan who he serves, whose mark is on his arm. Useless, of course. Rabastan was never one to cow for pain, nor learn from it. Yet his pain serves to soothe some of Voldemort’s anger, lets him take it out on him. Another convenient scapegoat.

(-)

She does walk like Bella, a confident, defiant tilt to her hips. She walks loudly, proudly, as if used to have others look at her in awe, covet her. She brought her heels, even if the path to the Forbidden Forest is not exactly best suited for heels. Whenever she angers him, she knows to make herself look even more like her mother.

Once, when he searched her mind, he saw Rodolphus teaching her this, on the night before he left her at Rowle’s. “It’s best if you look like her,” he told her, advising her to let her hair free, to wear the dresses Bella favoured. “He treasured her above all others, and, in time, I hope he’ll treasure you, too.” She doesn’t stop at a respectable distance, like Bella would have done when she knew she messed up, when she angered him. No. Delphini comes close, closer than anyone dares.

She’s taller than Bella already, and the heels almost bring her up to his chin. She looks up, and those are his eyes, that is his glare, his defiance, his stubbornness. “What potion did you give her?” “My own invention,” Delphini says, and pride flushes stronger on her face. “They won’t detect it.” “And if they do, then what is the problem, no?” Voldemort asks. “Who is going to suspect a perfect school girl? And if they do suspect her, who is going to blame the Minister’s daughter? Who would dare arrest her?” Delphini shrugs.

“If you plan on using my influence to stay out of trouble, if you know you can easily fall back on me to protect you, then you should discuss things with me before you do them.” “Why bother,” she spits. “You would have said ‘no’. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.” He should have tortured Rabastan more, because not all the anger is out of his system. Furry comes back hot, coursing through his veins, going to his head. “Ask for forgiveness, then,” he hisses, and he takes the step that separated them, towers over her. If she wants to play these games, he’ll play them. She will lose. It’s time for her to learn to lose- Harry spoiled her, far too much. He ignored Voldemort’s warnings that Delphini shouldn’t get away with everything she does, that he should push back, whenever she tests them.

As always, Harry’s kind, tolerant heart, explodes spectacularly in his face.

Delphini doesn’t cower, not truly, but he can detect the current of fear that passes through her. Strangely, it does nothing to improve his mood. Terrifying people usually soothes his fury, but now it just taints it with an unknowable feeling. “I thought you loved Harry,” he says, softly.

“I do!” Her fingers curl into fists at her side. Her neck is bent back uncomfortably, trying to keep Voldemort’s gaze. “She’s alive, isn’t she? Like he asked. She loves Harry, didn’t forget him, and she’ll no doubt dote over him, like a mother. In fact, now that she only remembers loving him, she’ll love him even more! I took nothing from Harry! He can have his pretend mummy! I only took away the memories of all her living children! It’s only fair!”

Delphini’s voice gets louder. Defensive. “She stole my mother from me! So it’s only fair she forgets all the beautiful memories she has with her children, memories she didn’t let me form with my mother. It’s only fair she will only remember her dead son, like I have to remember my dead mother, every time I step foot into the Great Hall, where that harpy took her from me. From us! You lost her, too! And now Molly Weasley cannot remember her husband, either! It’s fair, it is!”

It is beautiful, he agrees. It is poetic and it is just. It is perfect. However.

“You knew he’ll blame me for it; you understand he’s devastated; you understand how he’ll avoid me now, how he’ll suffer, how he’ll moan and whine at me for months on end, start drinking again, retreat into his spare bedroom and rot there for who knows how long. You are perfectly aware Hermione will blame me, too. That it could potentially harm my work. You knew this would affect me. And you did it anyway.” He cups Delphini’s face, and she finally flinches, though she doesn’t draw back.

So beautiful, this child. So intelligent. She loves Voldemort, understands him like no other. His perfect girl. If Voldemort would have ever wanted a daughter, if he’d have been given the chance to make her, build her from scratch- this is what he’d have imagined. Only, he still wishes she would have been more like Bella, or Rodolphus, or Harry; it would have been easier. For him, and for her. Alas, she is not like them. She is like him.

“She deserves it,” Delphini insists. “She hurt me!” Ever her tears are perfect, pretty shapes, clear, trailing down her cheeks. “That never works with me, Delphini,” he reminds her, using his thumb to brush one tear away. “I know!” she hisses. “Nothing works with you! That’s why I didn’t ask! Because you give Harry everything he asks, you are so attentive to provide him with what he needs, but you never care about what I want. What I need. I asked you to punish her, you promised me, remember? When I first met Ron. You promised me! But then Harry asked you to spare her, and you did what he wanted. You forgot about me, about my pain-“

“Shut up,” he says, softly. “I allow you far more than I would anyone else. Harry is my prisoner, he does only what I allow him to do, even if he deluded himself into thinking otherwise. I give you freedom. I don’t make decisions for you. I accept you as you are. But-“ he takes his hand away. “Do not trespass against me, Delphini,” he warns her. “If you want to hurt others, don’t use your mother as an excuse to do it. More importantly, don’t hurt people that are useful to me. Ask before you pull something like this again. And when I say ‘no’, better heed it. Or leave. Go far away, and make trouble there. This is my country, and nothing happens inside it without my say so. I worked for sixty years to subdue this island. If you want that kind of power, you will have to work for it, too.”

Common Myths About Digital Marketing and SEO Agencies Debunked

1. SEO Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction

The Google Sandbox and Honeymoon Period:

Myth: New websites are banished to a mysterious “sandbox” by Google, where they languish for months before gaining visibility.

Truth: While there’s no literal sandbox, new sites might experience a “honeymoon” period where rankings fluctuate. It’s not a penalty; it’s Google assessing your site’s trustworthiness.

Keyword Density Obsession:

Myth: Stuffing keywords into your content like a Thanksgiving turkey boosts rankings.

Truth: Quality matters more than quantity. Write for humans, not bots. Keyword stuffing is so 2005.

Meta Keywords Tag Magic:

Myth: The meta keywords tag is your secret SEO weapon.

Truth: Google ignores it. It’s like whispering spells to a deaf dragon.

Exact Match Domains (EMDs):

Myth: EMDs (e.g., bestwidgets.com) automatically rank higher.

Truth: EMDs lost their mojo. Focus on branding and user experience.

Content Length Spells:

Myth: Longer content always wins.

Truth: Quality > Quantity. A 300-word gem beats a 3,000-word snoozer.

Social Signals Sorcery:

Myth: Social media directly impacts SEO.

Truth: Social signals (likes, shares) don’t directly boost rankings. But social presence matters for brand visibility.

2. Digital Marketing Myths: Debunking the Legends

SEO Is Dead:

Myth: SEO’s tombstone reads, “Here lies Optimization.”

Truth: SEO thrives! It’s the heartbeat of digital strategy.

Email Marketing Is Spammy:

Myth: Emails are like carrier pigeons—annoying and outdated.

Truth: Email is alive! Nurture leads, share value, and conquer inboxes.

Mobile Traffic Converts Poorly:

Myth: Mobile users flee like startled deer.

Truth: Optimize for mobile! Users shop, read, and binge-watch on tiny screens.

Content Marketing Is Optional:

Myth: Content? Nah, my site’s fine without it.

Truth: Content fuels rockets to SEO stardom. Educate, entertain, enchant!

Online Reviews Are Irrelevant:

Myth: Reviews? Pfft, who reads those?

Truth: Reviews sway decisions. Cultivate stars like a cosmic gardener.

All Social Media Channels Required:

Myth: Be everywhere! Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, MySpace (wait, what?).

Truth: Choose wisely. Be where your audience dances, not where ghosts linger.

Digital Marketing Costs a Dragon’s Hoard:

Myth: Only kingdoms afford it.

Truth: Budget smartly. Even a hobbit’s purse can fund effective campaigns.

Remember, dear adventurer, skepticism is your sword, and knowledge your shield. May your digital journey be myth-busting and ROI-boosting!

Epic Music Bitterness

I can count on my fingers and maybe one set of my toes the amount of extraordinary days I’ve had in my life. And even those extraordinary days had a lot of ordinaryness. My wedding day was pretty epic, but there were moments in the day where I was just taking a shower, or twiddling my thumbs waiting for something to start. Counting is hard sometimes. The day my daughter was born was pretty…

Engaging young people in Georgia on European Maritime Day

An interview with Mariam Avakova, Black Sea Young Ambassador, youth 4 ocean advocate and EMD in Georgia event host on her experience of organising activities for an interactive scientific-educational day focusing on the Black Sea Blue Economy in Batumi, Georgia on July 5th 2022.

What activities were you involved in at the event? Mariam: I helped to design a "Black Sea & Ocean awareness - raising quiz" within EMD in my country as a part of the joint activities with Iv. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) held within the EU funded H2020 projects Black Sea Connect, Bridge-BS and DOORS. The quiz involved more than 50 students from local schools including a range of prizes, such as a Georgian Eco-Friendly USB cable made from melted plastic, colorful cotton bags with the EMDinMyCountry logo and t-shirts and notebooks. It was great to meet a lot of young people who are enthusiastic about what they do, it was a really entertaining and energetic atmosphere.

What issues did the quiz raise? Mariam: The quiz included 27 logically connected questions that would help the young people learn and develop knowledge about the Black Sea and the Ocean. The overall goal was to help them understand and remember the Black Sea's endemic species, the use of ocean power to reduce emissions, our efforts to prevent marine damage, the EU's involvement in ocean and sea protection, and pollution materials.

What were the key messages that came out of the event? Mariam: Plastic pollution is an important issue for young people. As it was noted during the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, a million tons of plastic waste are produced annually, and by 2050, there may be more plastic in the oceans than fish, threatening the survival of our marine life. I'm pleased to support the #SaveOurOcean and #BlackSeas campaigns with our actions – we have to find ways to minimize plastic pollution by creating stable new plastic recycled products which can bring economic, social, and environmental benefit.

Do you feel ocean awareness is an important topic in Georgia? Mariam: Georgia is moving toward becoming an EU candidate and I feel is a nation built on European values. I was overjoyed when our Deputy Minister of Education and Science visited us at the conclusion of her trip and acknowledged the eco-friendly cables and applied scientific awareness quiz as excellent ideas – it was a great inspiration. I added Georgia to the EMD map with this activity and with access to the EU media, we had the chance to share information about our country and what we are doing.

How does it feel to be a young environmental champion for your country? Mariam: I am incredibly appreciative that EU Mare and the EMDinMyCountry team chose me to host an event for European Maritime Day in Georgia. I am grateful to the Youth4Ocean Forum for inviting me to attend the EMD Ravenna Days in May and meet with Virginijus Sinkeviius, the Commissioner for Environment as a Youth4Ocean advocate. I had the honour of organising and putting Georgia on the map of #EMDinMyCounty during this period of Georgia's European membership journey. All of this motivated me to start the EMD event and contribute to the #SaveOurOcean and #BlackSeas campaigns.

Image: Incredible artwork! © Mariam Avakova

What would you like to see happen to keep young Georgian people engaged in the future? Mariam: Georgia, a Black Sea nation, has its own responsibility for protecting the earth, the sea, and the ocean. The young people here are very intelligent and only need one chance and some assistance to feel empowered to make improvements. I think raising awareness and educating the public might be the primary areas of action. But first, we need to let them know their thoughts are valued by including them in debates on policy and possible actions - all themes must be localized so it means something to them.

Image: Cleanups are an excellent way to bring young people together. © Salome Kobaidze

There are many gaps to fill here, but proper education, providing leadership chances, developing trusting relationships and promoting free self-expression are all important. For example, activities like meetings, cleanups, and workshops encourage us to view the world through a different lens, which helps us increase awareness and think positively about the impacts we can have.

Image: Salome Kobaidze leading a workshop event with young people. © Salome Kobaidze

My colleague Salome Kobaidze, a Black Sea Young ambassador herself, has organized her own events, funded by Black Sea Connect, in Kobuleti and Poti, that have opened discussion about the pressures affecting the Black Sea and the blue economy in the region. These have included face-to-face meetings, physical workshops, clean-up activities and meetings with students, instructors, and Kolkheti National Park representatives. Initiatives like these link young people to blue entrepreneurship and science job opportunities, as well as providing a platform to contribute to the decision-making process. I think trusting your citizens to carry out their projects is a progressive step foward and in the future, we should be investing in those ideas through small grants and financial support.

Mariam Avakova is a Black Sea Young Ambassador, Youth4Ocean Advocate, Master of MSc Natural Resources and Black Sea Connect Scientific team member based at Tbilisi State University (TSU). The Black Sea Blue Economy event was delivered by the Georgian Ministry of Education and Science with assistance from Batumi Shota Rustaveli University.

Here's that Mental Wellbeing Competition thing I submitted if anyone's interested. I did wanna make my own MaDD information guide anyways and now that I think about it I might do something like this for other mental illnesses too.

Oh I also may have stolen some things people said for this but I put my own thoughts on it so it isn't just copy pasted oof sorry-

My Mental Illness

What has always bothered me about news, social media, and most people I meet is that they generally preach for mental health awareness and acceptance all the time, but I rarely hear people say much specific. They may reference anxiety and depression or may give suggestions on improving mental health, such as eating healthily or contacting friend, but the conversation typically ends there. In my opinion, the key to improving mental health awareness and acceptance is through sharing stories of those who have suffered through mental illnesses themselves, and starting conversations about specifically the more obscure and unknown mental health issues to encourage people to feel less alone about their own struggles as well.

I have chosen to give my story in hopes that it will help other people in my school too. The following details the mental illness I have, which is presently unknown to most of the world. Please read with an open mind.

Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder

Everyone daydreams: sometimes a lot, sometimes a little, but it's generally seen as only a minor nuisance of every day life. However, what you may not have heard of is a coping mechanism mental illness called maladaptive daydreaming disorder (often referred to as MaDD), in which people may daydream excessively, to the point where it severely negatively impacts their daily life, taking up approximately 56% of the day. My daydreams are often elaborate stories with well developed characters, but some MaDDers may daydream about their normal life. 82% of MaDDers also report that daydreaming is usually accompanied by a repetitive movement, such as tapping, rocking, or pacing (like me), especially whilst listening to music.

Just like any other mental illness, MaDD can be caused by trauma, abuse or neglect, but it can also, in my case, be caused simply by boredom or loneliness.

Current Research

Unfortunately, as of the time I'm writing this in early May 2020, maladaptive daydreaming disorder is not recognised as an official mental illness by professionals because it is so newly discovered so it is currently still being researched. Eli Somer - the man who coined the name maladaptive daydreaming - co-authored several papers on it with Cynthia Schupak and Jayne Bigelsen. Bigelsen was also the subject of an early case study which saw her cured of MaDD with SSRIs, and more recently she has built a website to support people dealing with unknown conditions like MaDD: https://jaynerachael.com/groups/?maladaptive-daydreaming-disorder/

As it isn't an official mental illness, there is no official treatment, however personally, I find that using a diary app such as Daylio helps me remember to do important tasks as I feel proud when I keep a streak of not pacing for a long time or even just something simple like brushing my teeth. Other MaDDers recommend keeping the mind occupied with 2 tasks at a time or dedicating certain times a day to daydreaming.

Key Terminology

Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder/Maladaptive Daydreamer/MaDD/MaDDer/MDD/MD: MDD actually stands for major depressive disorder, and because MD can still be confused with major depression, MaDD is the acronym to use for maladaptive daydreaming disorder.

Immersive Daydreaming/Immersive Daydreamer/ID/IDer: An immersive daydreamer is someone who also has vivid and elaborate daydreams but they are not maladaptive and don't negatively impact their life.

Para: The people in our daydreams feel much more special and personal than simple characters in a story, so we coined the word para, which comes from the Greek word, meaning beside or next to.

Parame: A parame is essentially the 'me' that exists in the daydreams - for example, my parame's name is North.

Parain: A very recently coined term by a friend of mine - I don't have any parains myself but to some MaDDers, the term para is seen as a very positive word and so they don't feel comfortable referring to evil or 'villain' characters as paras so parain was coined.

Veritbond/Verit: Coined from the Latin word for true, veritbond/verit refers to a para that is a lot more special than the rest of them. To use a personal example, my verit, Red is the only para who I love and wish was real and I feel genuinely depressed when I don't daydream about him - this is completely different to the rest of my paras, and while I do care about them I don't really love or miss any of them.

Paracosm: This term refers to a daydreaming world or story. Some MaDDers have many different paracosms, some only have one, while I personally only have 2: the 1st (that I've name Shelter) is roughly 6 years old and the 2nd (Lost Children) is about 2-3 years.

Neuronarrative: The paracosm of a neuronarrator.

Thisverse: This word refers to reality, in comparison to paracosm or neuronarrative.

Paramay/Separatember: An online event in May and September in which MaDDers share their paras and talk about them, using a theme for each day of the month.

Daydream Crash: This refers to when a MaDDer feels sad or disappointed that their daydreams and paras aren't real.

Daydream Block: Similar to an art block or writing block, this refers to when a MaDDer finds it difficult to daydream. When I'm in a daydream block my mind often feels blank or blurry and it makes me feel depressed.

Daydream Trigger: This refers to something that triggers a person to daydream. The most common daydream triggers are music, TV, books, movies, etc.

Myths and Misconceptions

1. "But everyone daydreams!"

Yes, everyone does daydream, but maladaptive daydreaming involves daydreaming to an unhealthy extent. In my experiences, daydreaming often prevents me from eating, sleeping, staying hygienic, doing homework/revision, talking to my friends/family, doing hobbies, etc. It's maladaptive, that's why it's a mental illness.

2. "Why don't you just stop?"

Maladaptive daydreaming is a behavioural addiction and stopping MaDD would give me the same struggles that an alcoholic would have when trying to stop drinking alcohol. Daydreaming is constantly happening because I always have thoughts in my brain; I'm like an alcoholic with an endless supply of alcohol.

3. "That sounds so fun! I wish I had your creativity!"

MaDD can be fun in theory of course and the idea of daydreaming about such amazing things all the time sounds great but it isn't like that at all.

Firstly, I suppose I do have control over when or how I daydream but I have a very limited control over what I daydream about. I remember one point in the past where I was happily daydreaming about Shelter, my 1st paracosm, but I then soon started to daydream about Lost Children, and since I could only daydream about my verit in Shelter, this made me feel depressed.

Secondly, I also often have quite disturbing/dark daydreams. I call it an emotionally devastating/EmDe daydream because, when I daydream a para's pain, I can almost physically feel it, and it makes my heart hurt. EmDe daydreams have to be what I hate the most about MaDD because I would never want to see such horrible things happen to the people I love, and it makes me feel guilty for imagining such sick and disgusting things for my own brain's entertainment. I feel better though, knowing that I share these struggles with most, if not all, other MaDDers.

In addition to that, the obsession and connection with my parame has led to my own fear of needles and surgery, all because of her own trauma. My brain has created a fake person, with fake trauma, and given me real fear.

No, maladaptive daydreaming is not 'fun'.

4. "Isn't that just schizophrenia?"

No, all MaDDers can easily understand the difference between reality and fiction, and while our daydreams can be quite vivid at times, we know they aren't real. None of us have any sort of hallucinations, delusions or paranoia, unless we also have schizophrenia alongside MaDD - which isn't unheard of, since MaDD usually accompanies other mental illnesses, and people like me, who only have MaDD, aren't too common.

List of Best Google Algorithms Updates

What are Google Algorithm?

Well talking about google algorithm update Let's be clear and concise that every year google regulates its ranking factor elements to make sure users searching on search engines are satisfied enough to get intended results. The users use the keywords to find the best outcome for their desired results and search engines are always there to give relevant force to them. Since websites go on three process crawling caching and indexing beyond which they also count links being corresponded to the indexed domain as ranking factor but they follow some metrics rules which have already been defined in their system. Algorithms are collections of many dimensions which take a lot of signals from a website to determine their position.

Having said that website owners also need to follow some google guideline which make them free from being penalized like no black hat seo is entertained plus relevant links from compatible industry are only given value if not had good content within the domain and if sites are found to be joining spammy links then they will be in radar being deindex from search engine. So most importantly some google algorithm and penalty updates should be kept in mind as markdown by Nepal’s top ppc & facebook ads agency in Birgunj & kathmandu. Search engine has a habit of rolling out major algorithm updates that does impact search engine pages:

Significant Updates

Mobilegeddon: This update was mainly focused on websites having good desktop version is compatible enough on mobile devices or not or in other words we can say that it checked the responsiveness of the content or found out the mobile url for given websites. Later on it was found that slight changes have been made on this update like mobile url should also be given priority in terms of ranking factor.

RANK Brain: Rank Brain is one of the renowned algorithms which intensify on providing intended search results for users. It takes E-A-T measure into account which means effectiveness, authoritativeness and trustworthiness.

Panda: Panda was one of the revolutionary measures of google updates which deals with thin content. It does give authority to those content which lacks uniqueness and relevancy. Copying content is actually dealt from this updates. So its better to add some usp’s point to make all the content on meta tags a duplicacy free term.

Penguin: penguin is identified as traffic stopper of any domain whosoever is engaged in black hat spammy link culture. Trends like paying other companies for the affiliated links are considered to be bad infact taking links from irrelevant domains and keyword stuffing are even worse than you could ever imagine.

EMD: Exact keyword match is considered to be a bad step for ranking on a search engine page. It is strictly considered to be avoided because you can't use a keyword on brand name which means brand tag should be unique and different from others.

NENT Group lines up star cast for next original series `Shadowplay'

2019-04-10 17:30

Series stars Taylor Kitsch (‘True Detective’) and is created by Måns Mårlind (‘The Bridge’)

‘Shadowplay’ produced by Tandem Productions and BRON Studios, in co-production with ZDF, and distributed worldwide by STUDIOCANAL TV

NENT Group to premiere at least 20 original productions every year

The next original series from Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group), the dramatic thriller ‘Shadowplay’, will bring together high-profile international talent on both sides of the camera. The 16-episode series, which will be told in two chapters, begins filming this month and will premiere across the Nordic region exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service.

In the first eight-episode chapter of ‘Shadowplay’, American cop Max McLaughlin (Taylor Kitsch: ‘True Detective’) arrives in Berlin in 1946 to help establish a new police force in the chaotic aftermath of World War II. Max’s goal is to take down Engelmacher Gladow (Sebastian Koch: ‘Never Look Away’; ‘The Lives of Others’), the Al Capone of post-war Berlin, and to find his brother Moritz (Logan Marshall-Green; ‘Prometheus’) who is pursuing and killing Nazis who have gone into hiding. However, Max is unaware that he is being ruthlessly used as a pawn in the early stages of what was to become the Cold War.

The cast also features Golden Globe-winner Michael C. Hall (‘Dexter’; ‘Safe’), Nina Hoss (‘Phoenix’; ‘A Most Wanted Man’), Tuppence Middleton (‘Sense8’; ‘War and Peace’) and Mala Emde (‘Brecht’; ‘Charité’). The series is created and written by Måns Mårlind (‘The Bridge’; ‘Midnight Sun’), who will direct alongside Björn Stein (‘6 Souls’; ‘Midnight Sun’).

‘Shadowplay’ is produced by Tandem Productions (Germany) and BRON Studios (Canada) in coproduction with ZDF (Germany). NENT Group is partnering with Creative Wealth Media, CANAL+ (France), CANAL+ Poland and NPO (Netherlands) on the series, which will be distributed worldwide by STUDIOCANAL TV. Filming of the first eight episodes starts in Prague on 29 April, with a further eight episodes planned to be filmed in 2020.

Jakob Mejlhede Andersen, Viaplay Chief Content Officer: “The talent involved in ‘Shadowplay’ is nothing short of spectacular, and reflects our ambitions for this remarkable tale of split loyalties set against the fractured landscapes of post-war Berlin. NENT Group’s original productions continue to set the standard for the Nordic region and ‘Shadowplay’ will light up the screen for Viaplay viewers, as well as audiences around the world.”

For those wondering where it might air in the US, there is no confirmation on what network or streaming platform it will air on in the US yet.
