Buy School Graduation Gowns in the UAE: Tips for a Perfect Fit

Graduation day is one of the most important milestones that a student gets to go through, in his or her academic career. This is the culminating event of years of relentless hard work and commitment. It is all about celebration and remembering those moments once cherished and will be cherished further; when a student steps into the next important stage of life, he has to make sure that he looks at his best. If you're in the UAE and looking to Buy School Graduation Gown UAE, ensuring that it fits perfectly is crucial.

1. Know Your Measurements

Before you begin your search for graduation attire, you will want to know your precise measurements. Most graduation attire is sized by height and weight, so this will definitely make it a great deal easier when selecting your graduation attire. Measure your length from head to toe using a measuring tape while standing straight. Also, take your bust and waist measurements because some gown styles may require those. Having these measurements accurate will help you in selecting an outfit that fits your body type and looks great on you.

2. Determine the Outfit Length

Graduation gown length is one of the most important factors to note for a perfect fit. It should reach approximately between your knee and mid-calf, depending on your height. An outfit that is too long may get you tripping over it, while an extra short one may look out of balance. As you try on an outfit, make sure the length fits and you can comfortably walk in it. In case you are buying online, refer to the size chart provided by the seller so you can choose the right length.

3. Select the Right Fabric

The feel of the graduation attire can completely make a difference in its fit and comfort. Common fabrics for graduation robes include polyester, satin, and cotton blends. Polyester gowns are lightweight and durable, thus preferred for commencement ceremonies. Silk robes give one a more luxurious touch, although it is not as breathable. Take note that the UAE may be hot, so keep that in mind when choosing a fabric. When you Buy School Graduation Gown UAE, raise your arms and move them around to ensure that the sleeves allow for comfortable movement while maintaining an appropriate length.

4. Check the Outfit's Fit at the Shoulders

The shoulders are an important area where the aggressiveness of the graduation outfit can make quite a difference. The outfit should sit easily across your shoulders, neither too tight nor too loose. Assuming the suit is too tight at the shoulders, it may constrain your movement, while a suit that is too loose looks sloppy. When trying on the suit, make sure the shoulder seams fall in line with your natural shoulder line. This will enable the suit to drape well and present you with a streamlined look.

5. Pay Attention to Sleeve Length

Sleeve length is also a very relevant factor when choosing graduation attire. Specifically, it has to be long enough to reach your wrists but not beyond. Long sleeves would get in the way of your hand movements in case you receive your diploma. On the other hand, too short sleeves may look ungainly. While making an attempt at the attire, raise your arms and move them around to ensure the sleeves account for comfortable movement without sacrificing length.

6. Consider the Color and Style

Graduation gowns come in a variety of colors and styles, based on the conventions and choices of your institution. Besides being fit, you should be cognizant of the color and style of the gown. Most colleges have specific designs for graduation gowns, so be sure to select one in line with what is specified by your college. Moreover, a few gowns include additional elements like hoods, bands, or ropes, adding extra elegance to your outfit. Choose a fashion that describes you and the one you will be proud of when going up the stage.

7. Try the Outfit with Your Graduation Accessories

While choosing a graduation outfit, it is very important to think about how it will look with your graduation accessories like the cap, decoration, and tool. These are parts of your attire on that graduation day, and they should look good on it. Try the outfit with the accessories to ensure they all work well together. Take a look at how the cap fits on your head and how it wraps over the outfit. You will now have an overall view of your graduation-day look.

8. Sop Early

One of the best tips for ensuring a perfect fit is to shop early when you plan to Buy School Graduation Gown UAE. This gives you more than ample opportunity to try your hand at different sizes, cuts, and types without feeling rushed. Assuming that you're ordering online, early shopping also allows for any necessary exchanges or alterations. Early shopping ensures you have ample time to find the perfect fit and get in those alterations expected to get just the right fit.

Conclusion

Buying a school graduation gown in the UAE is an exciting part of preparing for your big day. By following these tips, you can ensure that your gown fits perfectly, allowing you to feel confident and comfortable as you celebrate your achievements. Remember to take accurate measurements, consider the gown’s length, fabric, and fit, and try it on with your graduation accessories. With careful planning and early shopping, you’ll be ready to shine on your graduation day, making it a memorable occasion that you’ll cherish for years to come.

— character chart pt. 1

dredged this up from the depths of my old leif blog. thought it’d be a good exercise for me to bring back for myself so i can cement things for felix, who’s the strongest fe muse i’ve had in a while. this questionnaire is multi-part and super long, so as before i’m going to do it in installments when i get the time. let’s see if i finish it this time.

BASICS

FULL NAME felix hugo fraldarius

REASON / MEANING OF NAME rather than naming children after ancestors ( though this sometimes does still happen; i headcanon that ‘glenn’ is a traditional fraldarius name ), most of the modern naming practice in the area comes from combining name meanings. glenn was the first child, and even though i headcanon he never inherited a crest, he was unique in fodlan nobility in that he was still in line to inherit the household. expectation and greatness were placed on his shoulders; by contrast, with his second son, rodrigue wanted most of all for him to find his own way in life — notably, in pursuit of a mental state that is happy or at peace. thus, felix ( happy ) hugo ( mind ).

NICKNAME none.

REASON FOR NICKNAME see above.

BIRTH DATE 20th of the pegasus moon. ( feb. 20 ) he’s a cute sensitive pisces.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

AGE 17-18 ( part 1 ), 22-23 ( part 2 )

HOW OLD DO THEY APPEAR? felix tends to give the impression of being older than he is, and it’s really mostly the way he carries himself and his perpetual frown. looking serious all the time gives him age, and he moves and conducts himself with self-assurance that isn’t found in most teenagers or young adults. there’s no uncertainty in anything he does. despite the fact that he’s not very tall, it’s sort of easy to forget that because his demeanor makes up for not being very physically imposing.

HEIGHT 5′8″ and he’s stayin’ there.

BODY BUILD felix is slender but wiry, compact without being bulky. he’s not as slim as dimitri, but he’s not brawny like dedue either. felix is built like a panther: not large, but every inch of compact muscle. genetically, i think he actually leans toward being more bony; you can kind of it see in his face shape. if he didn’t train so much, he would lean towards being all angles, and i headcanon this is actually more what glenn looked like. putting on muscle mass is actually fairly difficult for his family. felix takes after his father more in that they get a little bit stockier, but glenn takes after their mother’s side of the family more in physical traits, and was pretty skinny even after years of being a celebrated knight.

SHAPE OF FACE felix actually has an oblong heart-shaped face, though he’ll kill you if you try to call it that. he looks like his dad in pretty much everything except his eyes.

EYE COLOR whiskey brown is the best descriptor i’ve been able to find for it

GLASSES OR CONTACTS nope

SKIN TONE he’s pale. fraldarius territory is usually cloudy or overcast due to the being a subpolar coastal climate region and an area of frequent storms due to the abundance of stormy westerlies coming in to fill in the low pressure air. as a result, there isn’t a whole lot of open sunshine. glenn was actually slightly darker skinned than felix and rodrigue, and gets this genetically from their mother’s side.

DISTINGUISHING MARKS none really. like most soldiers, felix’s body is riddled with scars of varying sizes both from training and actual combat, but nothing out of the ordinary or debilitating.

HAIR COLOR indigo blue

TYPE OF HAIR despite it not being particularly thick, felix’s hair has about a billion layers to it and a mind of its own. what’s a consistent part? he’s not sure. he just puts it up so that it stays out of his way and otherwise lets it do whatever it wants. other than cutting it periodically so that it stays short and therefore less of a hassle, he doesn’t pay much attention to it. his hair is quite fine though, so even his best attempts to keep it under wraps in a tight bun don’t completely work out. flyaways ahoy. unlike glenn and his father though, felix inherited much straighter hair that doesn’t have much shape to it.

HAIRSTYLE see above. “whatever keeps it out of my way” tbh. intsys give me felix with his hair down or give me death.

VOICE gestures at lucien dodge. there’s not much to say here since the game is fully voiced. a worthwhile note though is that a lot of felix’s personality comes through in the delivery of his lines rather than the lines themselves. despite marketing himself constantly as a stoic, serious guy, he’s actually quite expressive, both in facial expression, body language, and tone. his intonation says a lot about the meaning behind his words. and, importantly, the lack of intonation as well. a lot of his lines that are the most abrasive are delivered without particular vitriol. an essay for another day.

OVERALL ATTRACTIVENESS felix definitely doesn’t give a moment’s thought as to whether or not he looks attractive on any given day haha. attractiveness is subjective but of course in my eyes he’s a 12/10 ;u;

PHYSICAL DISABILITIES none to speak of

USUAL FASHION OF DRESS outside of the officers academy uniform, of course. the outfit we see him in in part 2 of the game is an accurate representation of his usual dress. coming from fraldarius, he dresses warmly: layers, thick tunics, fur-lined sleeves, hoods, etc. and thick gloves, because there’s nothing that’ll kill you faster than losing feeling in your hands as a swordsman. he isn’t comfortable with showing skin, so even if he’s not dressed for fighting in the snow, he’s probably not ever going to be seen sleeveless or anything. unfortunately for the rest of us because he has nice arms.

JEWELRY OR ACCESSORIES unsurprisingly for a pragmatist like felix, accessories are seen as a general encumbrance. they get in the way, give enemies openings to grab onto you, and are easily lost in the chaos of battle.

#▐ ⊰ ᴡᴀʀʀɪᴏʀ ᴀᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ⊱ meta.#oof that was exhausting i'm going back to bed #. ⊰ ❛ ᴡᴀʀʀɪᴏʀ ᴀᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ⊱ * meta — ✘#. ⊰ ❛ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ sʜᴀʟʟ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ sɪʟᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴀᴠᴇ ⊱ * meta — ✘#. ⊰ ❛ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀs ᴛʜᴇ sɪʟᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʙʀᴀᴠᴇ ⊱ * meta — ✘

Literally no one asked, but here I go anyway:

A Tailor’s guide to measuring yourself so you can get the closest fitting size when ordering clothes online

We’re going to talk about the basic three measurements: the chest, waist, and hip. For all three measurements, you will need a tape measure (it’s best to get the kind actually designed for sewing, not for construction or handy work). It is loads easier to have a second person measure you, but I know not everyone has access to that. For all three measurements, you will want to be sure the tape is level with the floor, and you will be measuring all the way around your torso.

Chest (or “Bust”) - You will be measuring around at the fullest (or largest) point of your chest. I’ve seen some unisex shirts start to only measure from side seam to side seam on the front of the shirt. This is why it’s always a good idea to check the size chart for the garment you’re ordering and make sure you’re measuring the same way the vendor did.

Waist - is NOT where you want the waistband of your pants to sit. In this context, we are talking about the natural waist of the torso. So where on your torso is your natural waist? It’s the point where your torso bends. If you stand with your hands on your hips and keep your hips steady, rocking your shoulders side to side to make your torso bend, that bending point is your natural waist. It’s commonly toward the middle to lower torso, and is also commonly the most narrow part of the torso.

Hip (or “Low Hip”) - is NOT where your hip bones are. This measurement is for the broadest point of your hip/thigh/booty.

Some additional tips:

Measuring yourself in front of a mirror can help to make sure you’re keeping your tape measure level

Remember how I said measurements can change without experiencing changes to your height and/or weight? Yes, they can change for something as simple as how you are holding your body. For that reason, it’s important to use the measurement from when your arms are down, in a relaxed position, not raised.

Also for that reason, consider whether you will be mostly standing or sitting while wearing your garment, as measurements do a lot of shifting between the two positions. If you know you aren’t going to be walking around in the garment, measure yourself sitting to accommodate those measurements. Otherwise, it’s best to measure yourself standing.

Try to measure while wearing at least an approximation of the under garments you intend to wear with the garment you are ordering to get the most accurate measurements for that garment

When comparing your measurements to the size chart, it’s typically recommended to order whatever the largest size you measured. Most garments can be sized down with tailoring, very rare are the ones that can be sized up at all.

Alright. Y’all got this. I believe in you 💖

I don't know who needs to read this but clothing size is never dictated by your height and weight, the sizes are determined by your measurements. It's also important to note that your measurements absolutely can change without experiencing changes to your height and/or weight.

I'd also like to check in and remind everyone that "ready to wear" clothing absolutely is not. Mass produced clothing uses an arbitrary set of measurements to dictate the size of the garments (it's also worth noting that there is no "standard" set of measurements, every designer will pick their own arbitrary set) and those measurements fit virtually nobody off the rack. If you can find something off the rack that fits you perfectly that's great! However, most garments will likely be a little off and require a little bit of alteration to fit perfectly.

Photo

Shoot out between Nikon D3x and Hasselblad . . .

Let's see a global show of hands how many photographers have wondered or asked the question about what Medium Format 6cm X 6cm lens is equivalent to a 35mm lens.

I mean there is enough complete bullshit written about it, but here is the proof. Refer to the above photo and continue reading.

And, the debate and photography forum trolling and those who come across like real effing photography professors offering up mathematical formula and conversion factors, etc. All bullshit!

No?!

One photography website refers to diagonal Field of View equivalent to a 43mm lens. Yeah, well I did that, or as close as I could to it, first taking a photo with a Hasselblad 503CWD with a Carl Zeiss Planar 2,8/80mm T* CFE normal lens mounted on a tripod.

There are proponents of the Horizontal and Vertical Fields of View school of thought, when comparing Medium Format to 35mm format and will come up with different 35mm lens equivalents.

And, there are those who merely spout the 80mm is normal for Medium Format and 50mm is normal for 35mm and come up with some factor to apply across the board.

Hasselblad/Carl Zeiss advertise the Angle of View is 52° for the 80mm lens, while Nikon advertise the Nikon 50mm lens has a 51.3° Angle of View. At 32 inches between the film plane and the subject, I found no comparison in

None of them know what they are talking about and are merely spouting bullshit.

The Hasselblad 503CWD has a sensor size that is 4048 X 4048 pixels with a "Crop Factor" of 1.5, according to Hasselblad literature, meaning it could be equivalent to using a 120mm lens for medium format. But wait, sensor dimensions are 36.7mm X 36.7mm . . . and 120 film image area is actually 56mm X 56mm, so that is actually a Crop factor of 1.52588555858311 or 122mm focal length equivalent.

I started out photographing a defined area of small yellow flowers, with the two camera systems mounted on a weighted tripod, one after the other, without moving the tripod.

Typical of my ten years worth of photography experience in Tasmania, every time I take my cameras outdoors, it becomes overcast and the wind starts to blow.

I did manage to photograph using a Nikon 45mm lens and a 50mm normal lens. You know, compare "apples to apples". I mean this is the rational that internet professors of photography espouse. I found the individual flowers were much smaller than with the Hasselblad 80mm lens. I cannot say that either of the "fields of view" or "angles of view" were the same or comparable, either. That myth was busted, in my mind. So, the Hasselblad's "normal" lens definitely does not compare to the Nikon's "normal lens".

Frustrated that I could not continue in the wind, I relocated to photograph the side of a stable.

This time I used a Nikon Micro-Nikkor 60mm 1:2.8D lens. If you compare the nail heads and a couple knots in the wooden planks, they are very close in size. Not perfect, but closer than either the 45mm or 50mm.

What I did not account for was the vertifal shift. The Nikon D3 sits taller on the Manfrotto tripod than the Hasselblad. How much taller, I did not measure. I wanted to change as little as possible, so leaving the tripod set was necessary. Also, do you have any idea just how difficult it is to get the film plane absolutely parallel to a flat subject, such as the side of the stable? I actually used a tape measure to measure either side of the lens hood, to be sure. Not perfect, but should be very close.

And, one last point, the Hasselblad 503CWD is a 16 megapixel camera versus the Nikon D3 12.1 megapixel camera. My Nikon D3x is 24 megapixels. So, what to do to make this a more fair comparison. I did an up-res (increasing resolution) of the 35mm image to be the same as the Medium Format, but it made no difference. As one final attempt to make everything eual, I increased the Height of the 35mm image from 2832 pixels to 4080 pixels, same as the Hasselblad, which then increased the Width of the 35mm image to 6132 pixels, then, and only then did the individual flowers begin to approach the size of the image taken with the Hasselblad. But, what Sensor size or focal length would that have to be to approach equivalent values, but still not Field of View or Angle of View? Some bits overlay nicely, but others don't. So, no solution.

Outside of labratory conditions, not a bad result and a reasonably fair test.

So, for those who want to compare Medium Format to 35mm, don't waste your time and further, don't give too much credit to those charts and mathematical equations offered to prove how smart the internet photography professors are.

In conclusion, there is <b>no comparison</b> to be made between Medium Format cameras and lens combinations to 35mm full frame cameras and lens combinations.

In fact, I set the exact same measured exposure settings and color temperature settings, and each camera rendered a different image. I had to change color temperature, tint and exposure to make one photo look similar, to the other, but not exact.

Medium Format camera systems and 35mm Format camera systems are as different as individual photographers, standing side-by-side attempting to take the same photo.

I may attempt to continue lens comparisons, just to see how close I can come, but I may need to use a zoom lens.

UPDATE: Today, I made a New year's Resolution to prove myself wrong or that I don't know as much as I think I know. But, I discovered I was wrong about being wrong . . .

I decided to use a Nikon D3x (6048 X 4032 pixels or 35.9mm X 24mm Sensor Size) with a 50mm "normal" lens compared to a Hasselblad 503CWD with 80mm "normal lens", this time I tried to be as accurate and as measured/methodical as I could be. Same result as before . . . No way could I perfectly match various points, and I found the 80mm Red Dot was slightly larger than the 50mm Red Dot, only slightly, but still did not account for being unable to overlay the nail heads precisely. Each lens centre was measured to be 107cm above the ground. Each forward leg of the tripod was 104cm from the base. I put the Red Dot right in the centre of the View Finder. Results were essentially the same as yesterday's test with the D3. I assumed using a 24 megapixel camera versus a 12 megapixel camera would make a significant difference. The Field of View or the Angle of View or expected coverage, for nearly the same subject image size was just not the same. So, the "normal lens" fanatics and the horizontal Angle of View Cohort . . . Keep guessing.

Next, trying a Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm 1:2.8D lens, with focal lengths tested 45, 65, and 70mm, considering what I surmised yesterday about using a focal length between 60 and 70mm, but that test also failed.

Again, I must conclude, there is no real viable comparison to be made between a Medium Format camera and a 35mm full frame camera lens. What I found particularly astounding was that setting the same Color Temperature in both cameras, with the same Exposure rendered a different color picture, different tone. Comparing Medium Format to 35mm is like comparing apples to oranges.

The proof is above. For the doubting Thomases, as a final test, I introduced lens corrections and straightening. And, it made nil difference.

Universal Crypto Signals has it all and costs less than taking your girlfriend out to the movies. I mean, yeah when the bulls are at the table, everybody can shine like Warren Buffet and tell you about their God-given talents. These bear times – they are putting the gems from the crap apart. And we with these guys we might significantly increase our stack while dreaming of the next run.

Signals Review:

Universal Crypto Signals by Saviour are split into three channels:

Binance / Bittrex Channel (Altcoin Signals)

BitMEX Swings

BitMEX Scalps

Saviour makes use of the Cornix trade replication bot and another API solution for full auto trading. One thing I liked very much about this channel is a thing I observed very often: bad/missing marketing + excellent trader. It is like finding a rough diamond, which most folks would not pay attention to and falsely rate as a glass shard. I observed the troll box for quite some time now and there are quite some gamblers to be found, I assume due to the cheap price. They are trying to push him for more, more. more signals and while Saviour keeps cool like a rock in the sea, he suggest some trades here and there, but never, really never rushes into an “official trade”. People trying to squeeze a signal out of him, get most replies like “wait, not safe now – I cannot enter anything”. What makes Saviour very special is his view on the market. I assume his technical analysis is kept relatively simple, but he does one thing many signal providers do not: his signals consider the entire crypto environment, instead of just what the charts are printing – and this gives him an edge over many other traders. I personally think the main reason for his success is, that he considers the market cap development against the charts. Example:

If, for example, the technical analysis gives him a short signal, but the market cap is increasing, he stays out of the markets until both factors align with each other.

One thing to mention for the Altcoin signals: Depending on the market situation, there is often no stop-loss. This looks pretty dangerous to some, though I had a close look at this one: Saviour makes this depended on the current Bitcoin situation. If Bitcoin gives him the impression that it might drop, he gives a stop loss. If he thinks it is stable and provides a safe environment for alts to develop their price action, he prefers to leave it without. It is a bit of a walk on the edge and surely this gives him a very easy game to generate good looking stats. On the other hand, I can’t say that Saviour doesn’t make use of stop-loss in a loose or unreliable way – it is a dynamic way and his success proofs him, his customers are raving over their growing accounts. I have to pull off some points for risk management here. If stops are given, they come with a very reasonable risk:reward ratio of four to five percent. Difficult to decide. It seems, though, he closes failed signals with the Cornix bot for his customers manually (publishes S/L once sentiment has changed), so the customers likely won’t ride into deep loss.

In January we had 46 Altcoin signals. 42 signals hit at least the first target and 4 got stopped out. They altogether created a possible maximum gain of about 1300% (Always remember that these gain percentages are virtual figures to give an impression about win ranges and have only limited meaning for your real account growth.) Impressive: If you scroll back to the aggressive bear phase of of March/April ’18 you will see a big phat win streak: 178 won signals in a row. ‘-‘

The BitMEX Signals

The post is mainly talking about unleveraged signals for Binance/Bittrex, though he offers two more channels: one for quicker scalps and one for swings with maximum safety. I am not going to review the scalps as we don’t encourage to make use of them as unexperienced trader, based on signal channels. These come with extra risk and you need fast actions – and naturally the hit rate is much lower.

However, the swing channel is very good and provides rare signals. I am with them since January now and am quite flashed about his hit rate here as well. This guy is definitely on fire and only two trades saw stop-loss/ and two breakeven exits since January, which makes a confirmed hit rate of 31/35. Nice.

Signal Example:

Please have a look at this very nice altcoin signal above and how precisely the targets have been defined up front (the last target did not fill for some folks, so he didn’t mark it as cleared in the tracker). This is a great example for a trade where a trailing stop plays out perfectly and enables you to reap the full range of profits. The Cornix bot makes it easy to configure that (well, not that easy, but at least it makes it possible).

The Results

The results shown by this service have been overall very positive. You need some kind of trust into Saviour’s skills sometimes, but he knows what he does. The unleveraged altcoin signals can take some time to develop sometimes, but most of the time they explode very fast and they are there, in front of your eyes, as sharp as in Ultra HD. Most of his signals hit much faster than the signals from other channels, so your capital is not bound too long on one place, though if we wanted to take full profit, we’d need to stay in a trade sometimes for two weeks and more, so the altcoin channel by Saviour is a kinda “patience pays” one if you want to reap the full profit available on each trade. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, it can give the right learnings for the own trading career if just followed and the first targets hit very fast – much faster than other people’s signals.

He surely scans the sea of altcoins and detects early where the money pumps in slow and steady, so the majority won’t recognize. To me, he made unleveraged trading fun again. The only big drawback I see with Universal Crypto Signals is the thing with the stop loss. Risk-averse traders might enter such positions with shivering fingers. For cool guys, that don’t play emotions here, it is a very cool ride with much profits to be made.

To be fair, I have to mention that the BitMEX signals came always with a defined stop-loss and he would never let his customers become liquidated.

The BitMEX signals are not behind his Altcoin services, so I want to mention them as well. They also show juicy profits and his positions can be found on the right side of the trade most often. The scalp signals often shoot pretty fast, so sometimes it might not be possible to get in with a limit order. Personally, I prefer to wait for the rare but very safe swings.

The Support

The support is provided in a separate chat room by Saviour. Especially as I observed much rude talk recently in other chats, I was happy to see how calm and friendly he kept with his customers. He is constantly working to advertise the right trading attitude and gives interesting insights into his view on the charts (and additional information he uses to source the signal). However, don’t expect advanced trading courses and the big bells and whistles here. He provides a good support for his trades, updates his community with current support and resistance levels and gives insights in his trading style from time to time.

Critical Notes

Saviour knows how to navigate his followers through the wild waters. His signals are very well – this both bullet points have been covered to exhaustion now. What we did not like was the way to market his channel on the free channel. Surely, he provides some of his valuable signals there as well for free, but you will face cross promotions and have the look and feel of the classic pump and dump channels like from 1-2 years ago. I assume he just doesn’t know it better – and at first, it really turned me off and I left the channels as per our quality guidelines. However, his picks have been outstanding over a long course of time, so I went back to observe the language in the chat he uses etc . to get a better impression. He really seems like an honest person to me, who is not super hungry for membership fees. My personal guess is, he designs the stuff as he sees it with other channels – and this puts him into a bad light without a reason. My suggestion: no cross-promotion, less hype, and big words – that would make a much better impression.

End of SmartOptions.io Review

Customer Review

As you know, your trust is everything for us, hence we started to pull in customer reviews where we grant access to the reviewed channel to one of our Telegram channel readers. For this free review opportunity, we have chosen the user “DRE“, and you find his summarized experience of a test period here:

“Every trader is different: different risk management strategies, different goals for profit targets and length to be in trades. I tracked the January results for Premium Universal Crypto Signals and found the following (screenshot included) results for Binance Altcoins.

**Approximate 80% win rate (a few trades were on Bittrex so I didn’t track their W/L but included in the Loss/Open group) [ Customer results, likely taken only a part of the signals ]

**20+% of trades hit T2, average time in trades to T1 target 2.59 days (several hit same day or next day)**Assuming absolute worst case scenario (meaning ALL entries were at the top of the entry zone, all Losses were at their suggested 7.5% below the lowest entry zone AND ALL profits were taken at T1 to be conservative) the overall % ROE was 55%. Obviously, getting in at a lower entry, taking partial profits at T1 and leaving some for T2 and T3 could increase that return. As being said, 55% return was the worst case scenario.

Overall, I like the ease of use for this channel, especially if you are a fairly new trader. They offer signals you can follow with a bot which makes days like Feb 7, where 8 trades were posted, easier to follow and track. Signals are clear:

Standard Signal Example

Crypto Signal with Auto Trade Option

Results Tracking; provided by the Bot

Pros and cons based on my conservative trading style. I definitely prefer to use a moving target stop strategy as they do hit T2 and T3 on occasion.

Customer Conclusion:

I was originally skeptical of Premium Universal Crypto Signals claim that they had 95% accuracy. Being that Jan was a rough month and they achieved 80+% [Customer results, likely taken only a part of the signals], I do think it’s possible. I also think the very loose use of stop losses helps to achieve high accuracy. Overall, I would definitely recommend this channel. They really appear to strive for high quality signals and do have great accuracy. I would also suggest looking into their Premium Bitmex channel as well.

Cryptocurrency Trading Tools you Need

New Post has been published on https://bitcoinbrokerlist.com/cryptocurrency-trading-tools/

Cryptocurrency Trading Tools you Need

More and more people Start to understand that trading cryptocurrencies might be a great alternative for just having their money stashed on the bank account. With no interest in receiving nothing in return, except providing the bank with additional tools for trading themselves.

Now, Trading cryptocurrency is not exactly the same as investing in Cryptocurrency. They are clear differences between the 2 you have to be aware of those in order to be successful in either one of them.

When you look to invest in Cryptocurrency, or an IO, it’s like making any other investment. You have to understand who is running the show in the history of these particular people. What kind of partnerships these crypto currencies have or plan to have in the near future. And most important who are the developers that are developing this particular software.

Like any investment strategy this is something that you basically do for the long term.

On the other hand, for those that don’t have patience for their investment strategy to pay off in let’s say 5 years, there is a short term alternative.

Here you actually have to be looking for volatile and High Liquid Crypto currencies, where the market keeps on moving on a daily basis.

From what we have seen since November 2017, is can be extremely lucrative and also very risky. Cryptocurrency at this stage, which is still in its infancy when it comes to trading. Gives in higher potential but also much higher risk than trading in stocks and some currency.

This is where good trading tools coming in.

Let us Know

If there are smore tools more tools that you would like to have us focus on drop as a note and we will check them out, most likely we know them. We just decided that this is enough with the moment. There’s no need, If you are new trader to get swamped by different services and tools which in the end of the day will make your trading even harder.

No, the moment you actually went through the information you have your strategy decided on which cryptocurrency you wanted to trade in you actually are ready to go for it. You still need a broker or a trading platform where you able to do this. Part of the decision, which broker is right for you depends also on the location where you are in the world in the US. You have different kinds of brokers. Then you would have otherwise in this trailer, or Asia and Europe. A lot of them are regulated so much used to go for non regulated.

Either way, the forex brokers that are offering trading in crypto or cryptocurrency brokers that are their main business is a trading platform that basically only offers trading in cryptocurrencies trading.

You are also able to trade with a lot of the exchanges but coming from the Forex world and being trading in Forex for years. I feel more comfortable working with Forex brokers that I know have worked in this financial industry for years and those are able to provide me with the additional services.

And since I like to trade besides Crypto Currencies also Stocks some Indices and regular currencies. I really a stick to the forex brokers, but this is a personal decision.

These are these Best Brokers to trade Cryptocurrencies

Written by Monica Duarte and Doc_In_The_Box

Her Universe made a lot of Doctor Who fans excited by announcing that it would be offering the 13th Doctor outfit for sale. The new Doctor Who styles premiered exclusively at San Diego Comic Con and will be available in the fall at Hot Topic. We got our hands on the entire collection! The collection includes the 13th Doctor pants, jacket and top made by Her Universe. Since the reveal of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor on the BBC television series Doctor Who, fans have been putting together their own 13th Doctor inspired outfits and cosplays. Her Universe has now simplified that by providing fans with a place to purchase the officially licensed outfit. Jodie was seen briefly as the 13th Doctor at the end of the Twice Upon At Time Christmas Special. In the Christmas special Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor is seen regenerating into Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor. Since then the anticipation for the new Doctor has been huge. At the Hall H Panel at San Diego Comic Con she received an overwhelmingly warm welcome from her fans. As well as a roaring applause when she surprised fans at the Her Universe Fashion Show by walking the runway as a model in the 13th Doctor Coat from their collection.

Much like our other Temple Of Geek Chic Reviews, we are taking this outfit and putting it to the geek test. If you’re looking for information about screen accuracy and how this holds up as a cosplay, check out our Screen Accuracy section below by cosplayer Doc In The Box. OK, lets get started.

The Coat

First, I just want to remind everyone that this coat is not meant to be a cosplay coat, even though it works perfectly fine as a cosplay or a bound. The coat is fully functional and meant for daily wear. It is meant to be a piece of your everyday wardrobe. It is like I stated before a fully functional coat and our favorite part about that is all the POCKETS!!!! The Pockets are deep! Two pockets in the front of the coat and a small deep pocket on the inside of the coat. I am almost certain that small pocket on the inside of the coat is meant for a sonic screwdriver. At least that is what I keep telling myself. This Anorak styled coat is almost floor length. The coat closes with snaps from top to bottom. There are no zippers on this coat. When you close the snaps completely from top to bottom it provides plenty of coverage from the wind and cold. The outer layer of the coat is 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester and lined with 100% polyester blue lining. It will most likely protect you from cold days and cold breezes but it may get soaked in rain or snow. A cool little addition to the coat, that we thought was really fun, is the TARDIS design on the inside lining of the coat. The coat is mid weight, but feels heavier because of how long it is. Before ordering, I recommend checking the size chart and paying attention to the length of the coat. I am 5’3″ and the coat was just above my ankles. The length looked much more fitting on Doc In The Box, who is 6″. Also a good note when checking the size chart, don’t focus on the size as much as on the measurements. This coat doesn’t seem to have a special women’s cut. We think it works well for both men and women. The sizing seemed a little off when comparing it to other Her Universe merchandise I have purchased in the past. I think it runs a little larger than their usual junior sizing. The reason for this may be because of something that Jodie Whittaker said during the Her Universe Fashion Show:

“Any age. Any gender. Any one can wear it. You’re not dressing as a girl and you’re not dressing as a boy. You’re dressing as The Doctor!” – Jodie Whittaker

The hood is wide and loose. If you pull it all the way over your head it comes down to just above the brow line. The color of the coat is a soft blue-ish gray. It almost looks beige in certain lights. Jodie describes this being inspired by the color of the sky that she fell through when she was thrown out of the TARDIS in the Christmas special. Overall I think it is a great coat for the fall weather and a great everyday coat. The thing that I appreciate most about the coat is that it is subtle in it’s design, and the color scheme is soft and can be worn with a wide variety of outfits. It is a great piece of incognito geek wear. It is also Time Lord approved as it was worn on the runway of the Her Universe Fashion Show by the 13th Doctor herself!

The Top

The rainbow top is soft and comfortable. I really appreciate that the rainbow stripe goes all the way around the back. The only concern I have about this top deals with the neckline. The collar appears to be ruched a little at the seam. I don’t know if that is intentional or not. It is a small detail, but something I noticed. The scoop neck hangs a little higher than the shirt worn by Whittaker in the promotional images. But like I stated before, this is meant to be an everyday representation of our fandom and not a screen accurate cosplay. But even then as far as screen accurate goes, this comes really really close. I wore it un-tucked in the photos to give readers a better idea of the length of the shirt. On the show it is worn tucked in.

The Pants/Trousers

High waisted for the win! The culotte style pants are high waisted and this curvy geek girl really appreciates that. These are probably one of the most comfortable pair of pants I have tried on. They are soft and drape nicely. There is a lot to say about the wide leg. I was initially against the look of the wide leg style. But after wearing them all day at a convention, I was reluctant to take them off. The comfort is real. They are perfect for both casual and dressy looks. Absolutely worth the buy. Pair them with a blazer or a cardigan and it’s perfect for work! This is a perfect example of geek wear that is sustainable and may be worn as more than just cosplay. Perfect for on and off the convention floor. The embroidered TARDIS above the pocket is absolutely darling. As mentioned with the length of the coat, be aware of the length of the pants. Depending on your height, the pants may not appear the same length on everyone. The pants have a sewn in cuff. In the promotional images of Jodie it looks like the pants are cuffed by hand. They do not come with buttons/snaps for the suspenders (bracers), they way that they do on the show. But if you’re really serious about using them with suspenders, you could probably sew in an attachment for them. Or you can go with a clip on style suspenders. I am more about comfort than I am about screen accuracy. And these are more than recognizable enough for a cosplay. Plus… TARDIS!!! I can’t get over how cute that embroidered TARDIS is. I can not speak to how these will look or fit on men, as we didn’t have an opportunity to try it on a guy. Let us know in the comments below if you are a guy who tried them on. I would love to hear your thoughts on fit.

Screen Accuracy Comparison by @Doc_in_the_Box

This is a breakdown of the coat as Monica covered some of the differences in the top and trousers above.

Personally, I love this coat and wish I had “ready to wear”, “off the rack”, “available in store” options like this when I was building some of my Doctor cosplays!

The coat is sturdy and very well made, with everything needed to be recognized as the Thirteenth Doctor. Now, keep in mind, this coat was designed for casual street wear. This is not a screen accurate replica of the actual coat.

We have provided side by side photo comparisons of the screen accurate coat and the Her Universe coat below. Here is what we found:

Front of the coat: The Her Universe coat does not have a seam on the left side of the coat, which leaves the left side ending at the rainbow stripe. There are buttons (snaps) added to the Her Universe coat which run from top to bottom that you don’t see on the screen accurate coat. We assume that the reason for this is that the Her Universe coat is meant to be functional and close completely, where the actual 13th Doctor coat is a costume and not meant to be functional. The rainbow pattern is definitely different but still recognizable as part of The Doctor’s wardrobe. Hood lining on the Screen Accurate coat runs to the very edge of the hood where the Her Universe coat has about a two inch seam from the edge.

The Her Universe Coat has the rainbow stripe starting at the edge one one side.

Her universe coat has snaps, and the rainbow patterns are slightly different

Pockets: Pockets are a different style and design with the HU coat running vertically and the SA coat angled about 45°. Piping on the SA coat runs around the outside of the pocket where the HU coat runs on the back edge of theirs. We have no idea yet if the SA coat will have an inside pocket the way the HU coat does, but as the previous four incarnations of the Doctor had inside pockets, we don’t see why the 13th Doctor wouldn’t.

Pockets are angled, Her universe coat has them straight

Sleeves: Piping on the sleeve does not go all the way around on the SA Coat. Where as sleeve piping on the Her Universe coat does. Piping on Jodie’s coat is also angled where as the Her Universe coat runs straight across the sleeve. This is a small detail, but we are adding it in just for kicks, the SA coat has pink lining inside the sleeve, which the Her Universe coat does not have.

Piping on the sleeve is slightly at an angel

Pink lining inside of sleeve, piping only on top portion of the sleev

Back of the coat: Both coats have princess seams on the back for a better coat fit. We are not 100% certain but we believe that the SA coat has a vent/slit in the back. In the promotional photos it is hard to tell. But in some of the action shots it looks like only a portion of the back of the coat is lifting up, giving the impression of a vent. We can not be certain but are making an educated guess that the SA coat has a vent. The HU coat does not.

Filimg photo reveals a vent in the back of the coat (left)

Filming photo from the set makes us believe that there may be a vent

Both coats have princess seams on the back of the coat

Snapshot from the trailer makes us believe that there may be a vent

With all that said, there is still no reason you want to let this coat pass you by. The price point is reasonably priced and, unlike cosplay replica websites where you have to hope and wish the item you ordered fits correctly and looks as good as the pictures they provided, you can actually see and try this coat on in store before purchasing. Even if you are looking for the perfect screen accurate replica coat for your cosplay, I would still highly recommend this coat as the perfect stand in to get you out on that convention floor sooner while you continue to work on that screen accurate replica. The coat does fit universally, as I have worn it myself, so any Time Lord loving individual could sport this coat. The only telling design of the coat that differentiates it from a women’s or men’s coat would be the direction of the button snaps but, does that really matter? I think not. The Doctor is The Doctor and I’m still going to be wearing mine on the convention floor! The only detail I really wish they kept in the design of this coat is the rear vent but that didn’t stop us from bringing this coat home from Comic Con. All in all, if there is any doubt about the quality or look of this coat, I refer you to The Doctor herself, strutting it down the catwalk during the Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic Con.

Overall

As a cosplay it is absolutely the most comfortable and most functional cosplay I (Monica) have worn to date. I wore it all day at San Diego Comic Con and combined with all the pant and coat pockets it was perfect for my con needs. I was able to comfortably walk around in it at the convention and carry my camera bag on my back while wearing the coat. It is more than recognizable as a 13th Doctor Cosplay. I really love this outfit! For the price you are paying, for the opportunity to try it on in store at a Hot Topic and not blindly online, the price is a steal. The pants are my favorite because they align with current fashion trends and styles, they are comfortable and they feel nice on. This entire outfit is huge win for Her Universe. I just really hope they come out with the suspenders soon!

My Fangirl dreams came true last night when THE DOCTOR, Jodie Whittaker herself, made a surprise appearance at our Fashion Show!!!! I am BEYOND excited for the new season of Doctor Who and Jodie was even more amazing than I ever could have imagined. I also got to meet the new executive producer for Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall, and he was just as amazing!!!!!! Thank you SO much to @bbcdoctorwho for making this happen!!!This fangirl is counting down the days until we get new WHO!!!!

Powerful Camping Tent

Here are some amazing webpages backpacking pot, hiker, hiking1. Camping Tent

Ask yourself what camping circumstance will I be utilizing my tent in?

1. Where and how will I use my tent? Will I be backpacking, hiking or loved ones camping? Take into account transportation and toughness.

2. What are the climatic conditions likely to be? Contemplate the most intense weather conditions you are probably to experience.

3. Is fat an issue? If you are backpacking and hiking light-weight, compact and portable characteristics want to be considered.

4. How many individuals in my group? Figure out the acceptable style and size.

5. Do I need or want more inside room? Do you have activity equipment? Think about the sleeping area and convenience of the tent.

6. How often will I be utilizing my tent? Frequency is right proportional to durability.

I have designed a movement chart in my web site content articles page that may possibly help manual you through selecting which camping tent is the far better option for you. Go to the posts webpages and click on on Camping Tents – Obtaining the Appropriate One Flowchart.

Size and Scope

Personal choices dictate the size of your camping tents. It is crucial to verify the height specification before selecting, considering that this will establish no matter whether you can sit, kneel or stand inside of your tent. If you need to stand in your tent it is greatest to buy a tent at minimum 7′ large. On the other hand some men and women want to be close and cozy as a result will require a considerably more compact tent. Nonetheless, it is wise to purchase a tent increased than your predicted needs.

Camping tents are labeled 2-person, 3-person and so on. A tent labeled 2-person will accommodate two men and women sleeping aspect by facet which does not allow for the addition of mattresses and gear. If you personally need to have more space and you also want room for your gear it is best to enhance the mark by two to four therefore making it possible for for extra place.

Form Camping tents come in four basic designs:

A-Frame tents are freestanding, lightweight, basic design and offer great ventilation. They are usually tiny and rest two to a few folks, but floor area is poorly used. Dome tents are created from a tent pole frame and light-weight fabric. They are simple to erect and are freestanding, utilizing male ropes to preserve the tent in location. They have a big interior place. Tunnel tents use hoops organized in sequence over which the material is stretched thereby generating a tunnel. They are the least difficult style tent to pitch and supply the most inner space and height. They are one of the most sturdy and if staked accurately can be used in high winds and inclement temperature therefore making them most well-liked with hikers. Ridged Frame tents are massive family members camping tents. They have a strong frame which is created of shock corded poles over which the tent fabric is hung. The wall cloth is generally created from nylon and polyester. The guy ropes maintain the tent in spot during inclement climate. These tents are generally big and roomy but they are more bulky to transportation and are more tough to established up. Ridged frame camping tents provide space for action equipment and are normally used by larger families on prolonged camping excursions. Kinds

The kind of activity you take part in will determine the kind of camping tents you should be contemplating. The table below displays qualities of the sorts and purposes of camping tents.

Solo ‘ Lightweight ‘ Compact ‘ Easy set up ‘ One person

Backpacking ‘ Lightweight ‘ Durable ‘ Easy established up ‘ 2 to four men and women

Recreation ‘ Lightweight ‘ Compact ‘ Easy established up ‘ Generally 3 time ‘ 2 to 4 men and women

Expedition ‘ Lightweight ‘ Compact ‘ Durable ‘ Easy set up ‘ Generally four year ‘ 2 to 4 men and women

Family ‘ Roomy – numerous rooms ‘ Versatile ‘ Well ventilated ‘ Entry doors and massive home windows ‘ Set up more tough ‘ Generally a few time ‘ 4 to 12 individuals

Year Ratings

Camping tents are rated 1-season, 3-season and all time. These scores reveal the year in which it is best to use your tent. For instance, it is undoubtedly not a good idea to go camping during winter season in a 1-season tent.

One Season Tents or summer time tents generally use a 2-pole body creating it light-weight for those who want to think about weight. The body of the tent incorporates a lot of mesh and the rain fly is not as extended as other year tents therefore rising the ventilation.

A few Season Tents are developed to be very versatile. These tents usually consist of a complete rain fly which can be eliminated to enhance air flow. Three-season tents typically use a three-pole building because it provides extra security during heavy winds. These tents are very popular because of to their flexibility; even so, they are not developed for cold winter season climate.

Four Year or All Season Tents are basically 3 year tents that are much better outfitted for wintertime use. They are generally built with four poles for excellent stability under hefty winds and snows. 4 season tents are the most functional tents accessible, but they are also expense more than a few period tents.

Features of Camping Tents

‘ Durable resources; anticipate seven to 10 years if the tent is seemed after.

‘ A entire rain fly. Some camping trips can be shortened by inclement climate.

‘ Waterproof tent. After acquiring your tent make sure it is watertight. Locate the leaks, if any, and seal them before embarking on your camping trip

‘ Sufficient storage places, equipment lofts, hanging room and so on.

‘ Vestibule for equipment storage and modifying boots and outfits individual from the tent itself, specifically in wet temperature.

‘ Good ventilation; mesh, windows and doorways to accommodate those scorching steamy summer times and evenings.

The Underwater Coalfields

THE NEXT DAY, February 20, I overslept. I was so exhausted from the night before, I didn't get up until eleven o'clock. I dressed quickly. I hurried to find out the Nautilus's heading. The instruments indicated that it was running southward at a speed of twenty miles per hour and a depth of 100 meters. Conseil entered. I described our nocturnal excursion to him, and since the panels were open, he could still catch a glimpse of this submerged continent. In fact, the Nautilus was skimming only ten meters over the soil of these Atlantis plains. The ship scudded along like an air balloon borne by the wind over some prairie on land; but it would be more accurate to say that we sat in the lounge as if we were riding in a coach on an express train. As for the foregrounds passing before our eyes, they were fantastically carved rocks, forests of trees that had crossed over from the vegetable kingdom into the mineral kingdom, their motionless silhouettes sprawling beneath the waves. There also were stony masses buried beneath carpets of axidia and sea anemone, bristling with long, vertical water plants, then strangely contoured blocks of lava that testified to all the fury of those plutonic developments. While this bizarre scenery was glittering under our electric beams, I told Conseil the story of the Atlanteans, who had inspired the old French scientist Jean Bailly to write so many entertaining-albeit utterly fictitious - pages.* I told the lad about the wars of these heroic people. I discussed the question of Atlantis with the fervor of a man who no longer had any doubts. But Conseil was so distracted he barely heard me, and his lack of interest in any commentary on this historical topic was soon explained. *Bailly believed that Atlantis was located at the North Pole! Ed. In essence, numerous fish had caught his eye, and when fish pass by, Conseil vanishes into his world of classifying and leaves real life behind. In which case I could only tag along and resume our ichthyological research. Even so, these Atlantic fish were not noticeably different from those we had observed earlier. There were rays of gigantic size, five meters long and with muscles so powerful they could leap above the waves, sharks of various species including a fifteen-foot glaucous shark with sharp triangular teeth and so transparent it was almost invisible amid the waters, brown lantern sharks, prism-shaped humantin sharks armored with protuberant hides, sturgeons resembling their relatives in the Mediterranean, trumpet-snouted pipefish a foot and a half long, yellowish brown with small gray fins and no teeth or tongue, unreeling like slim, supple snakes. Among bony fish, Conseil noticed some blackish marlin three meters long with a sharp sword jutting from the upper jaw, bright-colored weevers known in Aristotle's day as sea dragons and whose dorsal stingers make them quite dangerous to pick up, then dolphinfish with brown backs striped in blue and edged in gold, handsome dorados, moonlike opahs that look like azure disks but which the sun's rays turn into spots of silver, finally eight-meter swordfish from the genus Xiphias, swimming in schools, sporting yellowish sickle-shaped fins and six-foot broadswords, stalwart animals, plant eaters rather than fish eaters, obeying the tiniest signals from their females like henpecked husbands. But while observing these different specimens of marine fauna, I didn't stop examining the long plains of Atlantis. Sometimes an unpredictable irregularity in the seafloor would force the Nautilus to slow down, and then it would glide into the narrow channels between the hills with a cetacean's dexterity. If the labyrinth became hopelessly tangled, the submersible would rise above it like an airship, and after clearing the obstacle, it would resume its speedy course just a few meters above the ocean floor. It was an enjoyable and impressive way of navigating that did indeed recall the maneuvers of an airship ride, with the major difference that the Nautilus faithfully obeyed the hands of its helmsman. The terrain consisted mostly of thick slime mixed with petrified branches, but it changed little by little near four o'clock in the afternoon; it grew rockier and seemed to be strewn with pudding stones and a basaltic gravel called "tuff," together with bits of lava and sulfurous obsidian. I expected these long plains to change into mountain regions, and in fact, as the Nautilus was executing certain turns, I noticed that the southerly horizon was blocked by a high wall that seemed to close off every exit. Its summit obviously poked above the level of the ocean. It had to be a continent or at least an island, either one of the Canaries or one of the Cape Verde Islands. Our bearings hadn't been marked on the chart-perhaps deliberately - and I had no idea what our position was. In any case this wall seemed to signal the end of Atlantis, of which, all in all, we had crossed only a small part. Nightfall didn't interrupt my observations. I was left to myself. Conseil had repaired to his cabin. The Nautilus slowed down, hovering above the muddled masses on the seafloor, sometimes grazing them as if wanting to come to rest, sometimes rising unpredictably to the surface of the waves. Then I glimpsed a few bright constellations through the crystal waters, specifically five or six of those zodiacal stars trailing from the tail end of Orion. I would have stayed longer at my window, marveling at these beauties of sea and sky, but the panels closed. Just then the Nautilus had arrived at the perpendicular face of that high wall. How the ship would maneuver I hadn't a guess. I repaired to my stateroom. The Nautilus did not stir. I fell asleep with the firm intention of waking up in just a few hours. But it was eight o'clock the next day when I returned to the lounge. I stared at the pressure gauge. It told me that the Nautilus was afloat on the surface of the ocean. Furthermore, I heard the sound of footsteps on the platform. Yet there were no rolling movements to indicate the presence of waves undulating above me. I climbed as far as the hatch. It was open. But instead of the broad daylight I was expecting, I found that I was surrounded by total darkness. Where were we? Had I been mistaken? Was it still night? No! Not one star was twinkling, and nighttime is never so utterly black. I wasn't sure what to think, when a voice said to me: "Is that you, professor?" "Ah, Captain Nemo!" I replied. "Where are we?" "Underground, professor." "Underground!" I exclaimed. "And the Nautilus is still floating?" "It always floats." "But I don't understand!" "Wait a little while. Our beacon is about to go on, and if you want some light on the subject, you'll be satisfied." I set foot on the platform and waited. The darkness was so profound I couldn't see even Captain Nemo. However, looking at the zenith directly overhead, I thought I caught sight of a feeble glimmer, a sort of twilight filtering through a circular hole. Just then the beacon suddenly went on, and its intense brightness made that hazy light vanish. This stream of electricity dazzled my eyes, and after momentarily shutting them, I looked around. The Nautilus was stationary. It was floating next to an embankment shaped like a wharf. As for the water now buoying the ship, it was a lake completely encircled by an inner wall about two miles in diameter, hence six miles around. Its level - as indicated by the pressure gauge - would be the same as the outside level, because some connection had to exist between this lake and the sea. Slanting inward over their base, these high walls converged to form a vault shaped like an immense upside-down funnel that measured 500 or 600 meters in height. At its summit there gaped the circular opening through which I had detected that faint glimmer, obviously daylight. Before more carefully examining the interior features of this enormous cavern, and before deciding if it was the work of nature or humankind, I went over to Captain Nemo. "Where are we?" I said. "In the very heart of an extinct volcano," the captain answered me, "a volcano whose interior was invaded by the sea after some convulsion in the earth. While you were sleeping, professor, the Nautilus entered this lagoon through a natural channel that opens ten meters below the surface of the ocean. This is our home port, secure, convenient, secret, and sheltered against winds from any direction! Along the coasts of your continents or islands, show me any offshore mooring that can equal this safe refuge for withstanding the fury of hurricanes." "Indeed," I replied, "here you're in perfect safety, Captain Nemo. Who could reach you in the heart of a volcano? But don't I see an opening at its summit?" "Yes, its crater, a crater formerly filled with lava, steam, and flames, but which now lets in this life-giving air we're breathing." "But which volcanic mountain is this?" I asked. "It's one of the many islets with which this sea is strewn. For ships a mere reef, for us an immense cavern. I discovered it by chance, and chance served me well." "But couldn't someone enter through the mouth of its crater?" "No more than I could exit through it. You can climb about 100 feet up the inner base of this mountain, but then the walls overhang, they lean too far in to be scaled." "I can see, captain, that nature is your obedient servant, any time or any place. You're safe on this lake, and nobody else can visit its waters. But what's the purpose of this refuge? The Nautilus doesn't need a harbor." "No, professor, but it needs electricity to run, batteries to generate its electricity, sodium to feed its batteries, coal to make its sodium, and coalfields from which to dig its coal. Now then, right at this spot the sea covers entire forests that sank underwater in prehistoric times; today, turned to stone, transformed into carbon fuel, they offer me inexhaustible coal mines." "So, captain, your men practice the trade of miners here?" "Precisely. These mines extend under the waves like the coalfields at Newcastle. Here, dressed in diving suits, pick and mattock in hand, my men go out and dig this carbon fuel for which I don't need a single mine on land. When I burn this combustible to produce sodium, the smoke escaping from the mountain's crater gives it the appearance of a still-active volcano." "And will we see your companions at work?" "No, at least not this time, because I'm eager to continue our underwater tour of the world. Accordingly, I'll rest content with drawing on my reserve stock of sodium. We'll stay here long enough to load it on board, in other words, a single workday, then we'll resume our voyage. So, Professor Aronnax, if you'd like to explore this cavern and circle its lagoon, seize the day." I thanked the captain and went to look for my two companions, who hadn't yet left their cabin. I invited them to follow me, not telling them where we were. They climbed onto the platform. Conseil, whom nothing could startle, saw it as a perfectly natural thing to fall asleep under the waves and wake up under a mountain. But Ned Land had no idea in his head other than to see if this cavern offered some way out. After breakfast near ten o'clock, we went down onto the embankment. "So here we are, back on shore," Conseil said. "I'd hardly call this shore," the Canadian replied. "And besides, we aren't on it but under it." A sandy beach unfolded before us, measuring 500 feet at its widest point between the waters of the lake and the foot of the mountain's walls. Via this strand you could easily circle the lake. But the base of these high walls consisted of broken soil over which there lay picturesque piles of volcanic blocks and enormous pumice stones. All these crumbling masses were covered with an enamel polished by the action of underground fires, and they glistened under the stream of electric light from our beacon. Stirred up by our footsteps, the mica-rich dust on this beach flew into the air like a cloud of sparks. The ground rose appreciably as it moved away from the sand flats by the waves, and we soon arrived at some long, winding gradients, genuinely steep paths that allowed us to climb little by little; but we had to tread cautiously in the midst of pudding stones that weren't cemented together, and our feet kept skidding on glassy trachyte, made of feldspar and quartz crystals. The volcanic nature of this enormous pit was apparent all around us. I ventured to comment on it to my companions. "Can you picture," I asked them, "what this funnel must have been like when it was filled with boiling lava, and the level of that incandescent liquid rose right to the mountain's mouth, like cast iron up the insides of a furnace?" "I can picture it perfectly," Conseil replied. "But will master tell me why this huge smelter suspended operations, and how it is that an oven was replaced by the tranquil waters of a lake?" "In all likelihood, Conseil, because some convulsion created an opening below the surface of the ocean, the opening that serves as a passageway for the Nautilus. Then the waters of the Atlantic rushed inside the mountain. There ensued a dreadful struggle between the elements of fire and water, a struggle ending in King Neptune's favor. But many centuries have passed since then, and this submerged volcano has changed into a peaceful cavern." "That's fine," Ned Land answered. "I accept the explanation, but in our personal interests, I'm sorry this opening the professor mentions wasn't made above sea level." "But Ned my friend," Conseil answered, "if it weren't an underwater passageway, the Nautilus couldn't enter it!" "And I might add, Mr. Land," I said, "that the waters wouldn't have rushed under the mountain, and the volcano would still be a volcano. So you have nothing to be sorry about." Our climb continued. The gradients got steeper and narrower. Sometimes they were cut across by deep pits that had to be cleared. Masses of overhanging rock had to be gotten around. You slid on your knees, you crept on your belly. But helped by the Canadian's strength and Conseil's dexterity, we overcame every obstacle. At an elevation of about thirty meters, the nature of the terrain changed without becoming any easier. Pudding stones and trachyte gave way to black basaltic rock: here, lying in slabs all swollen with blisters; there, shaped like actual prisms and arranged into a series of columns that supported the springings of this immense vault, a wonderful sample of natural architecture. Then, among this basaltic rock, there snaked long, hardened lava flows inlaid with veins of bituminous coal and in places covered by wide carpets of sulfur. The sunshine coming through the crater had grown stronger, shedding a hazy light over all the volcanic waste forever buried in the heart of this extinct mountain. But when we had ascended to an elevation of about 250 feet, we were stopped by insurmountable obstacles. The converging inside walls changed into overhangs, and our climb into a circular stroll. At this topmost level the vegetable kingdom began to challenge the mineral kingdom. Shrubs, and even a few trees, emerged from crevices in the walls. I recognized some spurges that let their caustic, purgative sap trickle out. There were heliotropes, very remiss at living up to their sun-worshipping reputations since no sunlight ever reached them; their clusters of flowers drooped sadly, their colors and scents were faded. Here and there chrysanthemums sprouted timidly at the feet of aloes with long, sad, sickly leaves. But between these lava flows I spotted little violets that still gave off a subtle fragrance, and I confess that I inhaled it with delight. The soul of a flower is its scent, and those splendid water plants, flowers of the sea, have no souls! We had arrived at the foot of a sturdy clump of dragon trees, which were splitting the rocks with exertions of their muscular roots, when Ned Land exclaimed: "Oh, sir, a hive!" "A hive?" I answered, with a gesture of utter disbelief. "Yes, a hive," the Canadian repeated, "with bees buzzing around!" I went closer and was forced to recognize the obvious. At the mouth of a hole cut in the trunk of a dragon tree, there swarmed thousands of these ingenious insects so common to all the Canary Islands, where their output is especially prized. Naturally enough, the Canadian wanted to lay in a supply of honey, and it would have been ill-mannered of me to say no. He mixed sulfur with some dry leaves, set them on fire with a spark from his tinderbox, and proceeded to smoke the bees out. Little by little the buzzing died down and the disemboweled hive yielded several pounds of sweet honey. Ned Land stuffed his haversack with it. "When I've mixed this honey with our breadfruit batter," he told us, "I'll be ready to serve you a delectable piece of cake." "But of course," Conseil put in, "it will be gingerbread!" "I'm all for gingerbread," I said, "but let's resume this fascinating stroll." At certain turns in the trail we were going along, the lake appeared in its full expanse. The ship's beacon lit up that whole placid surface, which experienced neither ripples nor undulations. The Nautilus lay perfectly still. On its platform and on the embankment, crewmen were bustling around, black shadows that stood out clearly in the midst of the luminous air. Just then we went around the highest ridge of these rocky foothills that supported the vault. Then I saw that bees weren't the animal kingdom's only representatives inside this volcano. Here and in the shadows, birds of prey soared and whirled, flying away from nests perched on tips of rock. There were sparrow hawks with white bellies, and screeching kestrels. With all the speed their stiltlike legs could muster, fine fat bustards scampered over the slopes. I'll let the reader decide whether the Canadian's appetite was aroused by the sight of this tasty game, and whether he regretted having no rifle in his hands. He tried to make stones do the work of bullets, and after several fruitless attempts, he managed to wound one of these magnificent bustards. To say he risked his life twenty times in order to capture this bird is simply the unadulterated truth; but he fared so well, the animal went into his sack to join the honeycombs. By then we were forced to go back down to the beach because the ridge had become impossible. Above us, the yawning crater looked like the wide mouth of a well. From where we stood, the sky was pretty easy to see, and I watched clouds race by, disheveled by the west wind, letting tatters of mist trail over the mountain's summit. Proof positive that those clouds kept at a moderate altitude, because this volcano didn't rise more than 1,800 feet above the level of the ocean. Half an hour after the Canadian's latest exploits, we were back on the inner beach. There the local flora was represented by a wide carpet of samphire, a small umbelliferous plant that keeps quite nicely, which also boasts the names glasswort, saxifrage, and sea fennel. Conseil picked a couple bunches. As for the local fauna, it included thousands of crustaceans of every type: lobsters, hermit crabs, prawns, mysid shrimps, daddy longlegs, rock crabs, and a prodigious number of seashells, such as cowries, murex snails, and limpets. In this locality there gaped the mouth of a magnificent cave. My companions and I took great pleasure in stretching out on its fine-grained sand. Fire had polished the sparkling enamel of its inner walls, sprinkled all over with mica-rich dust. Ned Land tapped these walls and tried to probe their thickness. I couldn't help smiling. Our conversation then turned to his everlasting escape plans, and without going too far, I felt I could offer him this hope: Captain Nemo had gone down south only to replenish his sodium supplies. So I hoped he would now hug the coasts of Europe and America, which would allow the Canadian to try again with a greater chance of success. We were stretched out in this delightful cave for an hour. Our conversation, lively at the outset, then languished. A definite drowsiness overcame us. Since I saw no good reason to resist the call of sleep, I fell into a heavy doze. I dreamed - one doesn't choose his dreams - that my life had been reduced to the vegetating existence of a simple mollusk. It seemed to me that this cave made up my double-valved shell. . . . Suddenly Conseil's voice startled me awake. "Get up! Get up!" shouted the fine lad. "What is it?" I asked, in a sitting position. "The water's coming up to us!" I got back on my feet. Like a torrent the sea was rushing into our retreat, and since we definitely were not mollusks, we had to clear out. In a few seconds we were safe on top of the cave. "What happened?" Conseil asked. "Some new phenomenon?" "Not quite, my friends!" I replied. "It was the tide, merely the tide, which wellnigh caught us by surprise just as it did Sir Walter Scott's hero! The ocean outside is rising, and by a perfectly natural law of balance, the level of this lake is also rising. We've gotten off with a mild dunking. Let's go change clothes on the Nautilus." Three-quarters of an hour later, we had completed our circular stroll and were back on board. Just then the crewmen finished loading the sodium supplies, and the Nautilus could have departed immediately. But Captain Nemo gave no orders. Would he wait for nightfall and exit through his underwater passageway in secrecy? Perhaps. Be that as it may, by the next day the Nautilus had left its home port and was navigating well out from any shore, a few meters beneath the waves of the Atlantic.
