How to Start Exporting Sunflower Oil?

Are you looking to export edible oil? Sunflower oil is one of the most widely used edible oils after palm oil globally. Its easy application in the wide range of global cooking needs makes it among the most sought-after oils that are exported and imported in bulk.

The global demand for sunflower oil

This high popularity of sunflower oil is due to its mild flavour, high smoking point, and nutritional-rich characteristics. The food industries can claim their food to be healthy if they use this oil. Moreover, as many countries are expanding their food processing industries, the demand for sunflower oil is set to increase all the more. This presents a very lucrative opportunity to export sunflower oil.

The challenges of middleman in the export market

No doubt, the sunflower export industry has a lot of potential, but there are a lot of challenges which an exporter might have to face. One of the major obstacles is the middleman's monopoly. These intermediaries can provide businesses with valuable connections, but they often charge hefty commissions, eating into your profit margins. Furthermore, many middlemen may pose as buyers or sellers, complicating transactions and hampering brand identity. This lack of transparency can lead to distrust and miscommunication between genuine buyers and sellers.

Exploring International Trade Shows: A Costly Option

Another avenue for connecting with buyers in the international market is through trade shows. These events can provide excellent networking opportunities and allow you to showcase your sunflower oil products to a global audience. However, attending trade shows can be a costly endeavour, involving heavy travel and logistics costs. While the benefits of face-to-face interactions can be significant, the expenses associated with these events can be a barrier for many exporters, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises.

Transforming B2B Trade with Online Platforms

In today’s digital age, B2B platforms like Tradologie.com are transforming the landscape of bulk export and import. These platforms facilitate safe and secure B2B trade from inquiry to delivery and payment, eliminating the need for middlemen.

FML: Dominance

I loved my boyfriend dearly, but things sometimes just did not fit. He was perfect everywhere but in bed. I was tired of always having to be the one to top, tired of always needing to take care of always being in control. I decided to make a few changes.

One night, as you were making out I told him I wanted to try something new with him. I told him I was going to turn on some porn while I got ready for some special fun. I had found a website that had promised to provide a video that would change my sweet bottom to someone a little more… gruff. I started up the video, and firmly held my boy in my lap. I looked away as a spiral danced on screen, and I could feel him start to resist. “No, what is this? What is this!?”

I held him firmly and whispered in his ear “Hush, it will be okay babe. Look at how relaxing it is. Just ease your mind, it won’t hurt. You want to be good for me don’t you?”

The spiral continued to turn and I could feel his struggle weaken as he became completely entranced. His eyes were wide and his mouth drooling. His mind was ready for some changes.

I stepped aside and began to watch him as the video began to give its instructions:

“You have always been such a good boy. But good boys need to grow into good men. You want to grow don’t you?”

“You feel yourself maturing, developing into a healthy young man. Men are strong, men take control, men can dominate. They know when to bulk and when to trim the fat.”

Quickly, my boyfriend began to age up a bit. He landed around 27. As he aged, he proceeded to mature. His thin body developed strong muscles as new pecs pushed out of his chest. Arms pulsed as muscle poured in. A deep V was established as abs were sucked out of his body.

“A strong torso needs a strong base. Men support themselves where boys are sometimes weak, physically and mentally”

Legs strengthened and toned, strengthened and toned as they went through years of training. Toes curled as feet cracked wide and reshaped into thick slabs to support the new weight.

At the same time his brows developed a deep furrow, as though his mind was working overtime.

“Grooming is important to strong men, especially gay men. Boyish locks give way to straight hair and fur. They smell and look fresh. ”

His hair straightened as facial hair pushed out of his jaw, leaving a fine mustache and a fine layer of stubble. The patch of hair on his chest wrapped around his muscle, cradling his pecs and abs, emphasizing their strength. I began to quietly rub myself as my new boyfriend was taking shape.

“Men don’t bottom. They… They……”

And the video began to buffer.

My boyfriend quickly came to his senses, and glanced over at me, confused.

“Hey man, what are you doing in my room?”

“Your room? Babe, this is our room.”

“Dude, not this again. I broke up with you years ago. You were always so… boyish. When are you going to mature?”

A sinking feeling hit, “Nonono, come on. Work you stupid thing, work.” I rushed over to the computer and tried refreshing the page.

Right then, the video glitched back on, me standing in front of the computer. I stumbled back to try to avoid it, but my boyfriend caught me. His eyes had already begun to glaze over as I was now subjected to the spiral. My will to.. resist qu…quickly… faaaaded.

“Men… fur…strong. The strong… smell… of men.”

My boyfriend, subjected to a second round, began to erupt in fur. It covered every inch of his torso as he began to sweat with the effort. The thick forest trapped the sweat quickly as a musk began to permeate the air. I too felt electric as my body began to push out a beard of my own, and sweat gleamed on my forehead.”

“Torso… bulk and…fat… accents muscle.”

He began to develop a fine layer of pudge that filled out his body. He looked as though a bulk had gone just a little too far but it perfectly accented the strength in his arms and chest. Myself lacking in much muscle, I began to feel warm as a mix of muscle and fat poured onto my frame together, leaving me panting at the new strength.

“Men…bottom…and top…Dominant…and horny.”

We both began to glance at each other as we felt the next changes hit. Our cocks began swelling….5…6…7…8…9 inches and hard as steel. We began rubbing our bulges as balls became heavy with new sperm. I began to feel the need to pin him down. I wanted to fight him, to get on top, to feel control. At the same time, I wanted him to mount me and ride me like the stallion I was. To feel worshiped. To feel power. I caught him wink at me, out of the corner of my eye, and I needed to pound him right there, but the spiral kept control.

“Support…strength…physically…gay…bro-… mentally.”

I felt my eyes widen as a steady stream of drool poured out my mouth. Exercise regiments and nutrition filled in where college and high school had been. I felt my brain come down to a slog as I just felt the need to… workout and… fuck…just…take…overrr…bruuuuh. A dumb chuckle started next to me and I found myself joining in, unsure what I was even laughing at.

“Good…men…when this video comes to an end… comes to… come… cum… CUM.”

Two shots of jizz arched to coat the screen as to deep grunts were released into the air. I turned to my boyfriend and he looked back at me. God he was beautiful. He was such a good looking bro. I needed to… I needed… I needed him.

———————————————————————

“You ready to submit to daddy this week?” My boyfriend texted, showing off his gains this week. I could smell his musk and taste his cock from here.

“Fuck no bro. You’re going to be moaning on this pole tonight. You better clean out that bussy.” I shot back with a pic of my own.

He was always a bit more cut, both in his muscles and his beard, but I was just as strong and ready to dominate him. I couldn’t wait to get done with our couples workout, grab some fuel, and fuck my man silly. Well, sillier than he already was, bro.

Whumptober 2024 - 09 - "Obsession"

Ruckmearkha prefered male spiderpaws because he understood the cock, the hunt, the need to hold a weaker creature down and destroy it so no one else could ever have it again. This was the most correct and natural urge. Some female spiderpaws had this too but it was rare, and strange, and somewhat distasteful to the efheby. They were made to be prey. There were sheep that bit too, but no one laid awake at night fearing their teeth.

Regardless, rarely, Ruckmearkha encountered a woman whose fragrance caused his venom glands to swell taut as ripe hedgeapples, and the scent patch across to chest to weep its coffee-coloured ichor. Sometimes… sometimes they excited.

One night, Ruck was so freshly awakened from the ogre caves that the earth still circled the roots of his tentacles, and crusted like sleep in his bleary eyes. Few dreams blossomed in that long, tarry hibernation. It had been an impression of viscera that had stirred him; of intestines uncurling from a slit stomach. He knew the smell of opened bowels, of fecal stink and the stinks of chewed food and acrid bile that progressed towards it. He'd rolled over and wanted to see those colours and smell that aroma again.

Trailing ogre earth still, he'd come across the crime scene too late. She'd been gone. But the victim remained: a young woman gutted beneath a pier, her insides now outside and the little crabs picking through them like finicky crones fingering melons at the market.

Ruck marvelled at the glistening organs all acrawl with arteries, besotted with blood. He found spiderpaws more beautiful beneath their skin. Clever little constructs, their soft flesh tented across sturdy frames, their most important secrets hidden in ivory cages.

Through a moonless night he'd followed the killer's bloody footprints, burning with a desire to win an aesthete, or at least someone whose soul would be heavy with uncommon traumas. Most spiderpaws were the same, he'd found. They wore identities like the most superficial clothing; the bodies beneath were all of too like a kind.

He did not let this body scream. When he tracked the motion of a woman turning towards him, startled, from a black doorway, he shot forward and upon her with all the weight of a god's judgement. Her bloody knife flew off into the night. His great shoulders splintered the door frame as he crushed her squirming panic to the ground, tentacles gone rigid around her smaller head, her torso, her arms, locking her to him. Two inches of fang punched through her neck. His glands pumped once, twice. The ecstasy of an efheby's purpose thrilled through him, jolting from the back of his tongue to the fire now awakened in his loins.

In an efheby, those loins were like a stag's horns. His prick existed to assert dominance. It rose and penetrated to humble a rival.

But no rival here. Only a curiosity. The most helpless and mewling scream gurgled from her, battling in her throat around the liquid intrusion of golden venom and her own coursing blood. With his huge right hand Ruck sought her mouse heart, massaging it through her back. Beat on, beat on, don't quit yet! It obeyed, a second syringe, dominated by the potent poison of his bite to palpitate in an alien rhythm. She grew slack even as she gasped, but it was not a distressed sound. She was happy! And Ruck was happy - as he had always been happy - that the rodents so seemed to worship and enjoy his attention.

Long starved, the efheby gnawed at her neck and could not stop his overfull glands from pumping again and again, swelling her beyond anything she could survive. Her body filled with him. Her skin puffed and lifted away from her bones. Venom seeped like liquid sunlight from her eyes and nostrils. She glowed burning hot in his hands, vibrating with her own pulse. He loved her in that instant more than-- why, more than he'd loved anything in the last few instants, haha!

Around her his bulk knotted, and they became a single amber muscle of feasting and need and adoration. His scent patch gushed, washing her in sticky ownership. She was claimed. She was his. She would never be anyone else's.

He let her soak. The night watched. An owl hooted far away, hearing the successful hunt. Envious? Haha!

Then Ruckmearkha began to drink his mouse.

Captured by the net of his venom, all the murderess' long years and longer soul hissed between his lips and down his abyssal throat. A prize this young he would drink all in one gulp.

Bitter terror of infancy, sweet nectar of childhood. With adolescence came complexity, and this was always Ruckmearkha's favourite. That first bloom of lust in untried parts; always a disappointment when dulled by shame, but no, no shame here. She had kissed a girl and realised she'd found where she belonged.

Ruck shifted his hold on her. The tentacle securing her head to his mouth dug between her lips, down her throat, but she was beyond feeling; beyond caring. A niggling tickle of blood rolled down his temple but was wiped away by the small hand there. Then it stroked her hair and he told her - secretly, wordlessly, in the whisper only he could whisper - that he would protect her forever.

Because the girl she had loved had not. The girl had been beaten by her father, and was too afraid to run away with her lover to some promised land for which she could show no receipts. Ruckmearkha tasted the rage that had risen in her then, and though it was a very familiar flavour, he radiated approval. Yes. The knife had slashed. And it had not slashed only to kill, but to torment, to open the inside to the outside, to splay open to the night what she had wanted for herself but which she would have to steal because it would never be given.

The body still was alive when Ruck swallowed the last of its secrets. To obscure his bite, he instinctively twisted off its head, threw it far away, slithered repulsed from the mess. Would the rodents say the father had killed his daughter and her demonic friend in order to restore his honour? Were they still doing that?

It would not surprise him!

Always little changes, here and there, every time he awoke. But never too changed. Always, in some way, deeply familiar. And may the simpering motherfuckers remain so, if they valued their future.

We should also consider if the inhabitants of the mega-sites consciously managed their ecosystem to avoid large-scale deforestation... Archaeological studies of their economy suggest a pattern of small-scale gardening, often taking place within the bounds of the settlement, combined with the keeping of livestock, cultivation of orchards, and a wide spectrum of hunting and foraging activities. The diversity is actually remarkable, as is its sustainability. As well as wheat, barley, and pulses, the citizens' plant diet included apples, pears, cherries, sloes, acorns, hazelnuts and apricots. Mega-site dwellers were hunters of red deer, roe deer, and wild boar as well as farmers and foresters. It was 'play farming' on a grand scale: an urban populous supporting itself through small-scale cultivation and herding, combined with an extraordinary array of wild foods. This way of life was by no means 'simple'. As well as managing orchards, gardens, livestock and woodlands, the inhabitants of these cities imported salt in bulk from springs in the eastern Carpathians and the Black Sea littoral. Flint extraction by the ton took place in the Dniestr valley, furnishing material for tools. A household potting industry flourished, its products considered among the finest ceramics of the prehistoric world; and regular supplies of copper flowed in from the Balkans. There is no firm consensus from archaeologists about what sort of social arrangements all this required, but most would agree the logistical challenges were daunting. A surplus was definitely produced, and with it ample potential for some to seize control of the stocks and supplies, to lord it over others or battle for the spoils; but over the eight centuries we find little evidence for warfare or the rise of social elites.

a description of talianki (located in modern day ukraine), a neolithic site from 5,700 years ago (inhabited from roughly 4100 to 3300 bc) from the dawn of everything by davids: graeber and wengrow

once again this book is fantastic - and one of its main theses is that "the agricultural revolution" and some of the conclusions we draw from it are, largely, not true.

the development of farming in human societies is a much much longer and more "playful" process than popular narratives would have us believe. 'agricultural revolution' suggests an on/off switch almost. and the way it's usually taught sees agriculture being "invented" and then spreading like wildfire to take over the globe - only then allowing for true cities and the "necessary evils" they entail. this simply isn't true. an urban, farming society is not automatically doomed to bureaucracy, inequality, and exploitation.

all across the world the archaeological evidence points to the domestication of plants taking literal thousands of years longer than it "ought to." and then, even when the domestication of a wild plant was complete there isn't an immediate rise of huge fields and class stratification (as the popular narrative goes). again - in the magnitude of multiple thousands of years. we have generations upon generations of humans with farming know-how who don't immediately begin a march of politics and inequality precipitated by farming.

agriculture isn't humanity's curse no matter what the memes and capitalists say. we are not doomed to our current ways - we can imagine, we can build, we can create new ways of being. the past is the present is the past. and fuck you capitalism and doomed "human nature" debates. and read the dawn of everything <3

alright. next up in my ffvii character pokemon teams: it's Tifa Time

tifa's team was pretty straightforward for me to come up with. details under the cut as always

tifa's sprite is a recolor of the gen 4 battle girl. seemed perfect for her

species: lopunny

ability: cute charm

item: muscle band

moves: close combat, return, power-up punch, captivate

ok I'll just address the obvious: there is some meta commentary going on here with my pokemon choice. people online can be very not normal about tifa's appearance. and I get it, I fully agree that Tifa Pretty, but let's not lose sight of the important fact that she can kill a man (and much scarier opponents) with her fists. I didn't give stargazer lopunnite here because that felt a little unfair to all the other characters who didn't get megas, but I definitely had mega lopunny in mind for the theme. the name is not really related, but I felt like it was a good name for a pokemon.

the ability cute charm and captivate kind of follow in the same vein. but muscle band, close combat, and power-up punch are all about kickin ass. I chose return because tifa is kind of a people pleaser, if that makes sense

species: mudsdale

ability: stamina

item: leftovers

moves: high horsepower, body press, smack down, rest

I chose a mudsdale because of tifa's cowgirl outfit from when she was a teen. yknow for a long time I thought that that was some kind of phase tifa went through. it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that the entirety of nibelheim is a weird fusion of nordic and wild west influences. the name comes from one of tifa's limit breaks but again is not super related.

the stamina ability is for tifa being in great shape. it also works well with body press. high horsepower is just for the horse theme

species: togekiss

ability: serene grace

item: berry juice

moves: air slash, aura sphere, water pulse, roost

for seventh heaven, I had to go with an angel shaped pokemon. there are... surprisingly few of those.

the serence grace ability is yet another reference to tifa being in great physical shape. for some reason, the thing that immediately comes to mind is her summon animation from remake and rebirth. she does this cartwheel maneuver and the whole thing is so smooth and impressive.

berry juice is a god awful item, but I really wanted seventh heaven to have a beverage.

aura sphere felt like a good representation of tifa's chi mechanic in remake and rebirth. water pulse is another choice vaguely related to seventh heaven being the local watering hole. similar for roost, as it's a place for people to gather and recharge (or get plastered, but whatever)

species: palafin

ability: zero to hero

item: punching glove

moves: jet punch, drain punch, focus punch, bulk up

a dolphin pokemon is mandatory for tifa! now that I'm looking at it, maybe I should have named it dolphin flurry from remake and rebirth rather than dolphin blow from og, but too late.

the set is just pure punchy woman. punching glove powers up all the punching moves. as an added bonus, jet punch is a priority move, which is fitting because of how speedy tifa is. as for bulk up... square I'm BEGGING you to give tifa more muscle. her arms should not look like that!

species: medicham

ability: pure power

item: life orb

moves: close combat, zen headbutt, bullet punch, counter

premium heart is tifa's ultimate weapon. I chose medicham as another pokemon that can be related to her chi mechanic.

the life orb item and counter refer to premium heart's special mechanic. it deals more damage the higher tifa's limit gauge is, but in order to fill the limit gauge, tifa must take damage.

species: urshifu (rapid strike)

ability: unseen fist

item: choice band

moves: close combat, surging strikes, brick break, u-turn

tifa's legendary pokemon is urshifu, named zangan after her martial arts instructor. I've taken all of the pokemon artwork for these posts from pokemon home, but apparently it only has one urshifu icon for both forms, in which it just kinda... stands there. rest assured I chose the rapid strike form, both for tifa's speed and for the water type.

honestly the set itself is not super thematic, just fully geared toward physical power from martial arts-inspired moves.

Chapter Five: Restless

"It can't be unlearned I've known the warmth of your doorways"

-Hozier, It Will Comeback

Running brings about a sick kind of fun.

It's like the allure of sticking forks into power sockets, like the charm of placing thumb and index finger on each side of a wound, gently pulling to see how deep it goes, how much it will hurt.

it's late at night when Johnny shakes you by the shoulders, ripping the blanket off of you. You're awake laying in the bed by yourself face stinging in the places you picked at your brows and skin you're cold and worse, you're guilty. 

"He's 'ere!"

His sounds relieved like the world has tilted on it's axis and sat just right.

Johnny looks at you again and again, runs his rough hands over your body, presses on your ribs and feels your pulse before you can even speak.

"Wha's goin on?"

You ask trying to feign being sleep drunk. Simon's comes into the room and drops the keys you had left on the coffee table on your bare chest.

"Windows wide open! Front door unlocked! What the fuck were ya thinking?!"

He rips his mask off and tosses it somewhere in the room, his face is sunken ,a butterfly stitch on his cheekbone, eyes like the dead pinning you to the still-cold bed.

"Ya could've been robbed! Kidnapped! Have you lost your damn mind?!"

He growls and it finnaly clicks that they're both swinging, drifting between who they had to be just a few short hours ago and who they can be here, now. It feeds a certain part of you that takes pride in being yelled at, being scrutinized because it means you're noticed, it means you enrage. But you understand that the tension in the room doesn't come from a place of hate or judgement but rather concern, care. It makes you feel awful for neglecting something that had been so important to them since before you were even a thing; your safety. On the other hand it's nice to get a taste of Soap and Ghost every once in a while.

You live on the run, money drains quickly and health declines quicker but it keeps you almost guilt-free and always on edge. Razor sharp, summer coat shedded and winter coat thicker than ever.

Just now do you realize how comfortable you were when you lived with Simon and Johnny because you seek out fear like your life depends on it, you get up and check the door everytime there's a noise, you go through your belongings every time you come back from work to see if they've been messed with. You know full well you're not worth chasing for this long, it's been a weeks, your burner phone doesn't have a calender but you have a vauge understanding that it's been that long, they should be home by now, you hope they're well.

You make a point of not thinking about their reactions when they came home and you were nowhere to be found, phone dead and all your belongings in place, you don't want to imagine the recycled heartbreak in Johnny's face, you don't want to think of Simon seeing what your not-so-recent well behaved behaviour for what it truly was a ploy, an act.

Which feels false when you know you enjoyed those months of peace much more than any period in your relationship, when they got you back from the cabin and slowly got you settled back home, restrictions erased the more trust-worthy you were, bounderies thought over and re-establised. İt granted you ample space to be you in the realtionship, to be demanding, aware, equal.  The pain of hurting them eased by them hurting than healing you. The temporary peace period where you let yourself have the comfort, the warmth of their love in bulk for you'd be without it, for years to come if you were successful.

You don't deserve warmth, and you foolishly though you could just take a peek through the door.

You wonder if they think you've been kidnapped, you wonder if they finnaly accepted that's it better for them if they cut ties with you, you wonder if your belongings ended up in the trash or the local goodwill or if Johnny's wearing your old band tee to bed, you wonder if Simon's gotten himself a new mechanic to maintain his car, you hope he has.

Sometimes you think about settling ,about finnaly accepting that you're not worth the work it takes to hunt for this long, sometimes you want to relax and stay for a bit longer and sometimes -shamefully- you dream of being found again, brought back home; because that's what it is and that's what it will always be. It's easy to convince yourself that the road is your home when you're living like this, untethered and nihilistic but you can't help the longing you have for the music Simon would put on before bed, the framed happy pictures on the walls, Johnny's cooking after a hard long day at work, you know the orange light spilling out of the windows now through the crack between patterned curtains, of the warmth when the three of you lay together.

It's nothing but longing you remind yourself , you don't have a place there anymore, you never did.

You hop from town to town not thinking, not feeling, not hurting or at least you try to and you press salt on the fresh wound by conjuring up images and phantoms of them when there is none.

Timeless

A ficlet of an explorer's au in which H&P lose at Temporal Tower. (Fair warning, angst ahead!)

______

An explosion rocked Temporal Tower, throwing Buizel from her feet, and through the dust and flashes of lightning, she glimpsed Jasper taking flight, narrowly avoiding the Dragon Pulse which chased him across the sky, cleaving the clouds.

Turning sharply, the Rufflet dropped like a stone, singeing his feathers on the laser beam. He took a deep breath and roared, but it was barely a squeak in the face of the Legend. Still, Jasper's body flared with a red light, his Bulk Up sending more power through his tiny body and allowing him to fly that little bit faster. At the last second, he flipped, striking out with his tiny talons, but his Close Combat simply bounced off Dialga's tough armour and the dragon spun, swatting him from the sky with a blow of its mighty tail.

Buia dove, catching Jasper before his battered body could crack against the stones. She pulled him close to her chest, and her eyes flitted about. Purple lightning split the sky and the stone tiles of Temporal Spire cracked and raced away on torrents of wind. Dialga roared and staggered, falling to it's knees as an orange light pulsed in it's diamond core before rippling outwards across its scales.

Her eyes widening, Buia's gaze desperately flicked past Dialga, to the altar. That was it, they didn't need to defeat Dialga, if she could just get the Time Gears in place, they could still save everyone!

Dialga roared once more, an outcry of pain and suffering, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking the altar, obliterating it entirely. Her face falling, Buia clutched her partner tighter and Jasper coughed.

He smiled weakly, the expression a painful contrast to his scattered feathers and bloodied plumage. "Buia, the sky is falling."

To Buia's horror, the sky was indeed falling. The space over temporal tower cracked and shattered like glass, a powerful energy wave bursting through the splinter, and with it, Dialga's eyes began to burn red. The Legend glared at the ruined pair before it and drew in a mighty breath, a ball of blue energy forming at it's mouth.

Her gaze falling to Jasper, she brushed debris from his plumage and smiled. "I'm really sorry, J."

Jasper's brows furrowed and he looked strangely at his partner. A tear slipped down her cheek and she nodded.

"I'm sorry I ate your dinner that time. Sorry for telling Loudred that it was you who stole his power band. Sorry for setting you on fire." The tears came thick and fast now and Buia ran a hand over his cheek. As the wind grew and the noise reached a fever pitch, Buia's words were lost to the wind, and Jasper didn't catch this last part; a shame really, it was rather important.

"But I'm not sorry for pulling you from the surf. I would do it all over again. Thank you for everything, my irreplaceable partner."

Dialga's energy peaked and it released it's Roar of Time, the attack tearing free the last remnants of Temporal Tower's foundations. The tower collapsed and as the attack reached them, Buia pulled Jasper close, burying her head in his feather's. Thankfully, that was the last thing she felt, the attack was too quick, too powerful, for the pain to set in, only the warmth of Jasper's feathers remained, that and... silence.

Slowly, Buia raised her head, her eyes struggling to open against the grime and dust which caked her once soft coat. The world around her was cloaked in darkness, rocks hung frozen in midair and the clouds overhead didn't move.

Patting herself all over, Buia glanced about in disbelief. "Are we alive?"

"Unfortunately," groaned Jasper.

He rolled from her lap, onto the cold grass and stood slowly, stretching his wings experimentally and giving a few test flaps. He stood on one leg, tucking the other into the dirt ridden feathers of his lower body.

"Where are we?" Buia breathed, standing and spinning in a slow circle.

Glancing at an odd-looking rock, Jasper's head cocked and he took the skies, his flight shaky at first. From above, he could see the darkness stretched on forever, the horizon lost in murk. Below, the earth was pock-marked with scorches, immortalised for all time. One particularly large burned patch rested beneath Buia's feet. Ironic that they'd awaken here, almost as if this, where it all began to fall apart, were made timeless simply to taunt them.

Flying down to land, Jasper ruffled his feathers and plucked some of the dead ones free. "We're in Amp Plains."

Buia planted her hands on her hips. "Are you sure?"

"Certain, and what's more, this is the Dark Future."

Buia groaned, her head falling. "I was worried you'd say that."

His head tilting, Jasper looked at her, the unspoken question thick in the air.

Buia just shrugged. "It feels different here."

Surprisingly, she was right. Apart from the obvious lack of sunshine, the Dark Future held several differences from the past, including the atmosphere. The Dark Future felt heavy, imposing, as if an invisible hand were reaching from the shadows, it's grip slowly tightening around your throat and squeezing the air from your lungs.

Jasper couldn't believe the past would feel this intense so soon after the planet's paralysis, though he didn't have any evidence to support that. With time frozen, was it possible for the Dark Future to get, well, darker? It certainly felt like it had last time they were here, though it's possible that was the stress playing on Jasper's nerves. Agh, thinking about it was useless, he'd simply have to find evidence as to whether this was the past or the future, then he could...

Buia arrived at the conclusion a second later. Wringing her hands, she took a deep breath and glanced at her partner. "So, what now?"

Jasper laughed, slow and quiet at first, but it quickly rose, becoming an uproarious chortle, drifting across the wasteland. "What now? Buia, we failed! There's nothing left to do!"

Her face falling, Buia flicked her tails around and ran a paw soothingly over them. "So, we'll try again."

"Again?"

"If this is the future, Celebi must be here. She can send us back, and we'll try again."

"It won't make a difference, don't you get that?! Dialga is too powerful. We are too weak. We are not enough."

Buia's fur bristled and she clenched her fist, her apprehension quickly being replaced by something with much more fire. "Then we'll find Grovyle, too!"

His face setting like stone, Jasper's voice turned to ice. "We don't even know if he's alive."

"He wouldn't lose to Dusknoir," scoffed Buia.

"We did." Jasper stared hard at his partner, and felt something in his chest ice over. "We lost to Team Skull at Apple Woods. We lost to Grovyle at Quicksand Cave and Crystal Crossing. We lost to Dusknoir when he grabbed us, and if not for Grovyle, Dusknoir would've beaten us twice more." Jasper pointed fervently at the scorch mark under Buia's feet. "If not for Dusknoir we would've lost here, too! Buia, we are not enough."

Jasper saw it, he saw the words click over in Buia's mind, and circle dangerously, and he saw her spirit break. It happened so fast, the sag in her shoulders, and the thud of her tails in the dirt as they slipped from her paws. It was like all the fight, all the life, was taken from her; taken by her partner.

Her head down, Buia turned and began trudging away, her tails dragging in the dirt.

Jasper threw his wings up in disbelief. "Where are you going?"

Pausing, Buia glanced over her shoulder. "Home. I'm... tired."

That, Jasper could understand. He fell into step behind Buia, wordlessly following her home. Unable to keep from reminiscing on the last time they left Amp Plains, Jasper wondered what Buia was thinking about. Probably nothing, she was never one to think to hard about things. That thought almost made him smile, almost.

Eventually, the pair arrived at the Crossroads to Treasure Town. Buia glanced down the path to the beach, then towards Town. The ocean used to carry music from Spinda's, and lively chatter from the marketplace, this silence wasn't right.

Dragging her feet, Buia marched up the stairs to the Guild, blanching upon seeing the fallen totem poles and the destroyed Wigglytuff facade. The whole thing had been replaced by an ugly wooden structure, except for a hole which had been hastily covered with a blue tarp, making it look like an icy eye, gazing out over the lifeless world. An iron gate barred the entrance and Buia gazed distantly at the grate.

Back then, she had been all too ready to jump on that grate, ready to find out what she was made of. Now, all she felt was a roaring anxiousness. Would anyone answer? If they did, would it be their fellow guildmates or strangers?

Sucking a breath in, she wrapped her arms tight around her chest and stepped onto the grate. For the longest time, there was no answer, so Buia called, "Diglett, are you there?"

The silence stretched on, finally being broken by the sound of someone crawling, followed by a muffled argument. Buia was about to call down again when the gate slid open and an Azumarill stepped out.

"Team Typhoon," Azumarill said fondly. "I never thought I'd see you again."

Jasper's eyes narrowed and he hopped closer. "Do we know you?"

Azumarill scoffed, and he nodded. "You did once. You saved me from Drowzee."

"Azurill?" Exclaimed Jasper, his voice peaking.

"Let's talk inside. It's not safe out here." Azumarill waved them in and promptly jumped down the ladder.

Buia followed him, unable to see the once cheerful boy in the solemn Pokemon before her. She slid down the ladder, only briefly stopping at the first floor. She couldn't bare to turn around and really see it, she was certain it would be just another knife to her heart.

The guild's second floor was tidy, but it felt quiet and empty. Several torches filled the room with a meagre light and struggled to fight the cold which seeped through the stones. Croagunk's cauldron was stone cold, waiting for it's master's return; unfortunately, it would be waiting an eternity. In the centre of the room, Azumarill waited beside a Dugtrio.

Buia's head tilted as she eyed the Dugtrio. "Diglett?"

Smiling sadly, Dugtrio said, "Hi, Buia."

When Jasper landed next to her with a light ruffle of his feathers, Buia didn't so much as glance at him. It was all she could do to clutch at her chest and whisper, "what happened?"

Dugtrio and Azumarill shared a look, and eventually Azumarill sighed. "We waited for you, but you never came home. When time froze, we assumed you were gone. The guild got an influx of requests, and they tried to help as many people as possible but..."

As Azumarill trailed off, Dugtrio took over. "Things just kept getting worse. More and more Pokemon were losing themselves. We lost Chatot first. The Guildmaster wasn't the same after that. Loudred, Sunflora, Corphish, Croagunk and Chimecho, one by one they... Pretty soon, it was just Bidoof, Dad, Marill, Azurill, and me."

Her heart catching in her throat, Buia's eyes widened. "Where are they?"

Azumarill took a deep breath and hardened his face. "Dugtrio went out to find food and never came back. Bidoof and Marill went after him. We haven't seen any of them since."

Buia shook her head. "That can't be right. Marill wouldn't just leave you behind, he wouldn't-" Her lips trembling, Buia froze mid-sentence as Jasper's words hit her all over again. They really had failed, and it was put on full display for the world to see.

Jasper, the one who spent years fighting for a sunrise he'd never see, and Buia, the one chosen by the relic fragment, were nothing more than dreamers who never stood a chance. Beautiful little fools, that is all a child should be, so these two, still so young, why had that been taken from them and made timeless?

A Solstice Yarn by AStateOfInelegance - T, one-shot - Draco Malfoy is at the Granger family Ugly Jumper Party which is terrifying to Hermione for a number of reasons - not least of which is meeting her parents, hearing her childhood stories, and doing atrocious things to her heart. *** When she opened the door, she was smiling and when she saw the familiar mop of brown curls and bright grin, she couldn’t help but smile wider.

INTRDUCTION

As students navigating the challenges of academic life, we understand the importance of both physical and mental health in our overall development. Our diet plays a crucial role in shaping not only our well-being but also our ability to reach our maximum potential. Instead of succumbing to the temptation of quick-fix meals like instant noodles, chips, and soft drinks, it's time to prioritize nutritious foods that offer high-quality nourishment at affordable prices.

In this blog, we'll explore how making simple yet impactful changes to our dietary habits can optimize our health and empower us to excel academically and personally. By shifting our focus towards wholesome, budget-friendly alternatives, we can fuel our bodies and minds to thrive amidst the demands of student life

1)Plan Your Meals: Planning your meals ahead of time can save you both money and time. Start by creating a weekly meal plan, taking into account your schedule and budget. Make a shopping list based on your meal plan to avoid impulse buys at the grocery store.

2)Buy in Bulk: Purchasing staple items in bulk can significantly reduce your grocery expenses. Items like soyabean , black gram , pulses, millets , lentils, and beans are not only affordable but also versatile ingredients that can form the basis of many nutritious meals.

3)Focus on Whole Foods: Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins offer excellent nutritional value at an affordable price. Avoid processed and convenience foods like soft drinks , chips or packed snacks, pizza ,junk food, which tend to be more expensive and less nutritious . Incorporate these wholesome ingredients into your meals to nourish your body without exceeding your budget

4)Limit Convenience Foods: Convenience foods like pre-packaged snacks, frozen dinners, and instant meals may seem convenient, but they're often loaded with unhealthy ingredients and come with a hefty price tag. Instead, opt for homemade snacks like trail mix, yogurt with fruit, or veggie sticks with hummus. Not only are these options healthier, but they're also more economical in the long run.

Boost Your Health with Soaked Pulses: Nutrition Secrets Unlocked!

If you're looking for an easy way to enhance your diet, improve digestion, and boost your energy levels, soaked pulses might just be your secret weapon. Whether it’s lentils, beans, chickpeas, or black beans, these humble ingredients are packed with nutrients and can transform your meals—and your health—with just a simple step: soaking. Let’s dive into why soaked pulses are a game-changer for healthy living and how you can start incorporating them into your diet today.

Why Soak Pulses?

Pulses, which include lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans, are excellent sources of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. They’re a cornerstone of many plant-based diets, and for good reason. However, soaking pulses before cooking them can increase their nutritional benefits by up to 50%! Here’s how soaking pulses can take your health to the next level:

Improved Nutrient Absorption Pulses contain anti-nutrients, such as phytic acid, which can block the absorption of important minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc. Soaking pulses helps to neutralize these anti-nutrients, making it easier for your body to absorb the vital nutrients they contain. This can have a significant impact on your energy levels, immune function, and overall health.

Easier Digestion Have you ever felt bloated or uncomfortable after eating beans or lentils? Pulses contain oligosaccharides, a type of carbohydrate that can cause gas and bloating in the digestive system. Soaking pulses helps to reduce these compounds, making them easier on your stomach. This means you get to enjoy all their health benefits without the discomfort.

Reduced Cooking Time Soaking pulses softens them, which significantly reduces the time they need to cook. This is great for meal prep, especially if you’re short on time but still want to prepare healthy, nutritious meals.

Better Texture and Flavor Soaked pulses not only cook faster, but they also have a smoother texture and a more pleasant flavor. This makes them ideal for a variety of dishes, from hearty soups and stews to salads and snacks.

How to Soak Pulses

Soaking pulses is incredibly easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Choose your pulses: Lentils, chickpeas, black beans—whatever pulses you like!

Rinse: Wash the pulses thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

Soak: Place them in a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 6–8 hours or overnight. If you're short on time, you can do a quick soak by using hot water and leaving them for 2–3 hours.

Drain and rinse: Once soaked, drain the water, give them another rinse, and they’re ready to cook!

Pro tip: Cook in bulk! Soaked and cooked pulses can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Perfect for quick, healthy meals throughout the week.

Easy Ways to Add Soaked Pulses to Your Diet

Once you’ve soaked and prepped your pulses, they’re incredibly versatile. Here are some simple and delicious ways to include them in your diet:

Lentil Soup: A warming, protein-packed meal that’s easy to make and perfect for meal prepping.

Chickpea Salad: Throw soaked and cooked chickpeas into a fresh salad with veggies and olive oil for a quick, nutritious lunch.

Black Bean Tacos: Add soaked black beans to your tacos for a fiber-rich, tasty filling that’s sure to please.

Hummus: Blend soaked chickpeas with olive oil, garlic, and tahini for a healthy, homemade dip or spread.

Real-Life Success Story: The Power of Soaked Pulses

A friend of mine recently added soaked pulses to her meals every day for a month, and the results were remarkable. She initially felt skeptical, wondering if such a small dietary change could make much of a difference. But after just two weeks, she noticed significant improvements in her energy levels and digestion. She felt lighter, more energized, and even less bloated after meals.

By discovering new recipes like lentil stews, chickpea burgers, and black bean salads, she also found that her meals became much more exciting and varied. Her story is a testament to how small, mindful changes can lead to big improvements in overall health.
