Cookie Run Kingdom AU : Light of Acceptance

What is the lore about?

This may follow up with the recent events of the cookie run kingdom lore[latest event is Burning Spice Cookie with Golden Cheese Cookie]. This AU is about a forgotten Sixth Soul Jam that was erased from Earthbread.

Starting Point:

The soul jam is also known as a 'false' soul jam, meaning it wasn't created by the Witches but a human teen who discovered the power of the Witches. Being inspired by their craft, the human created her very own soul jam, calling it the Light of Acceptance.

The human created many of the cookies with life powder and only gave one cookie the soul jam: Garuda Sovereign Cookie. He was tasked to be the true leader of the cookies under him and are one of the many leaders that were created by the human.

However, the cost was a few leaders and himself, were turned to stone, alongside with the souljam under Garuda Sovereign Cookie's hands.

However, everything turned South and darkness overtook the land. With Garuda Sovereign Cookie having to fight until his last breath, he casted the darkness into the soul jam, saving everyone affected by the darkness.

Many years passed and soon, everything flourished in the Kingdom of Garuda. New tribes and towns were made nearby and newly formed alliances were created to protect the peace they held long.

What is the AU based on?

The AU is inspired from a region of Southeast Asia, collecting inspiration of a few other Asian culture aspects[Mongolia, Bhutan, etc] for some cookies and locations. I may make drawing concepts of how it may look like.

The biomes are going to be based on Vietnam, Indonesia and Mongolia's biomes. Fortunately, I would also give way for new biomes from other countries too.

Whole Grain Association

An association of many Kingdoms and tribes that is created for a variety of reasons such as: trades, defense training, land possession, etc.

They are unaffiliated with the Kingdom of Garuda.

Kingdom of Garuda

Kingdom of Garuda is situated in a rainforest, citizens are called Bimas. They are known for their arts in architecture and intricate designs in any art. Music, paintings, you can name it all.

They also have the five original soul jams implanted in some of their tattoos and clothes for their hopeful peace treaty with the other ancients.

Their current owner is Po-Li Sovereign Cookie, younger brother of Garuda Sovereign Cookie[former]. There are currently 10 cookies who are related to Po-li Sovereign, some changed their names to avoid conflict with those who are against the Kingdom of Garuda.

That is all for my rambling of lore. If you want some more lore of this AU, you can comment or give an ask. Any questions? I'm free to answer but it may take time.

The AU is still new so changed might occur during its development. This AU is formed by art and writing. Comics and doodles may be made if I have time.

See ya mates.

This article isn't solely about the environment, but some of the things there are, so I'll summarize them for you :)

Bhutan and India boosted tiger numbers

According to Bhutan's latest tiger census, tigers have increased their population from 103 to 131 since 2015 - which is a rise of 27 per-cent.

This follows the country's major interventions to help the wild tiger population, including community based tiger conservation programmes, habitat improvement and human-wildlife conflict management projects. 

Tigers are, of course, still at risk, but Bhutan's dedication to help and preserve their population is inspiring.

India has also reported a six pre-cent rise in their wild tiger population since last year. The country is believed to be populated by 3,682 tigers now.

Germany’s €49 travel pass

A part of a green new policy in Germany, a €49 (£42)-a-month pass allowing unlimited travel on buses and trains in Germany. 

This will result in about 25 per-cent rise (per year) in the numbers of people choosing public transport instead of cars - a low carbon way of transport (according to the national rail operator Deutsche Bahn (DB)). 

The Deutschlandticket launched on 1 May as a plan to lower the cost of living and encourage people to take the train instead of driving.

It seems to already have some great results: The Association of German Transport Companies says that almost 10 million people had used the pass by the end of June. DB has also said that trains to holiday destinations were busier this summer.

UK crop yields rose despite a fall in fertiliser use

 New data from the UK’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) revealed that UK crop yields rose last year, despite a sharp decline in fossil fuel fertiliser use. Many believed that these fertilisers were necessary, but this data proves that belief wrong.

According to Defra, wheat, barley, oilseed rape and sugar beet yields rose by 2.4 per cent in 2022, while fertiliser use fell by a reported 27 per cent. 

These artificial fertilisers are made using natural gas, and because the prices soared in 2022, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, farmers had to either use much less of them, or embrace more natural alternatives.

England’s plastic bag charge was hailed a success

Since the government in England forced supermarkets to charge 5p a plastic bag, there's been a 98 per-cent reduction of single use plastic bags.

That’s according to figures from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which introduced the charge in 2015, then increased it to 10p in 2021. 

Environmental campaigners welcomed the figures, but urged the UK government not to row back on other green policies, including a deposit return scheme for plastic bottles and rules to make plastic producers contribute to clean-up costs. Both policies have been delayed until 2025. 

Have a good weekend everyone!

Let me know, what good news have yo read or heard about lately?

A Version Of Eileen's Life:

It must all begin from the beginning; 1931 to be precise. For four years, Aurelius Dumbledore (a.k.a “Credence Barebone”), had been working for the supreme Dark Wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. As an Obscurial who managed to live to adulthood, Aurelius was an extreme rarity in the Wizarding World. Unfortunately, because of the parasitic Obscurus, Aurelius’s life still waned. Naturally, Grindelwald knew this sad fact and needed a plan, an “heir” to his weapon. 

While Grindelwald sent his numerous minions to find more Obscurials, the searches had proven to be futile for one reason or another. Eventually, Grindelwald began to come up with another idea; Obscurial or not, Aurelius was still the son of Aberforth. Thus, Aurelius was not just the last of the Dumbledore clan, but he was the nephew of Aberforth’s brother, Albus Dumbledore-Grindelwald’s main foe. Nothing could hurt Albus more than his own relative-present or future-joining Grindelwald. So it was decided, a new Dumbledore must come forth.

After much consideration, Grindelwald settled on the once-prestigious Prince family. It was said that Sacar Prince was a famous potioneer about two centuries ago. But, upon numerous competitors, betrayals and bad deals, Silvanus’s descendents struggled greatly. The latest of the lineage, Silvanus Prince and his wife, Melinoe Suspirio, was no different. Because of this, Grindelwald thought it easy to persuade the Princes’ to let their daughter, Eleousa, work for him.

In time, Aurelius and Eleousa would meet. Slowly, the two would become acquainted with each other. This was mainly due to their skills; Eleousa was impressed with Aurelius’s Obscurus, along with his romantic side. For Aurelius, he was impressed with Eleousa’s intellect, and her fascination with resurrecting the dead. Long story short, the two young wizards shared a passionate love for eachother. As a result, a baby was on the way.

Unfortunately, Aurelius would be completely unaware of his upcoming child. Shortly after a failed mission in Bhutan, Aurelius would reconcile with his father, Aberforth, and succumb to the Obscurus only a few days later.

 Sometime later, little Eileen came into the world. Unfortunately, Eleousa would die not long after her daughter was born. As a result, Eileen would be raised by Silvanus and Melinoe as if she was their daughter. Even going by “Prince” rather than “Barebone” or “Dumbledore”.

As Eileen grew up, the Prince family would see her as a disappointment. Especially as Grindelwald would reach his final downfall. In spite of her cold environment, Eileen tried making the best of things. For instance, she was loyal to her Slytherin House, was skillful in gobstones, potion-making along with spell-casting. She would often try to form a connection with her late mother by researching spells for reviving the dead. However, by the time she turned 21, she felt something absent in her life. Then, when in the Muggle World, she met Tobias Snape…

As a rough-and-tumble Teddy Boy, Tobias Snape was part of a group known as “The Web-Spinners”. Another member was Tobias’s best friend “Severe Seymour”, along with Seymor’s girlfriend, Lydia. However, The Web-Spinners weren’t the only gangs in Cokeworth as they were fiercely rivaled by the “Sweet Deaths”. During one altercation, a naive Eileen was in the gauntlet and would’ve been killed had Tobias and Seymor not stepped in. Eventually, Tobias and Eileen hit it off. 

Yet, while Eileen saw Tobias as a potential husband, Tobias saw Eileen as more of a “fling”. Disgusted, Seymour and Lydia often confronted Tobias about such a mindset. Urging him to either marry Eileen or break things off better the relationship gets even more serious. Events later took a turn when Tobias, Seymour and Lydia were at a pub-the same pub the Sweet Deaths were visiting. Thanks to his drunken boasting, Tobias had started a fight that escalated into a major catastrophe. In the end, Seymour and Lydia would be killed by the Sweet Deaths.

Remorseful and horrified, Tobias was at a loss on what to do next until he’d learn that Eileen was an witch. He begged her to bring back his lost friends but Eileen told him that resurrection isn’t what the Wizarding World does. So, Tobias made up his mind; he’ll marry her and, in turn, she’ll find a way to bring back the dead. Eileen knew not to make promises she couldn’t keep, but she could never say “No” to such a magical potential as reviving the deceased. So, in 1953, Tobias Snape and Eileen Prince would marry to the horror of the latter’s family. Silvanus and Melinoe would loathe their granddaughter for choosing a Muggle over her enchanted pure-blood; ultimately cutting her off altogether. 

In time, Tobias would quit being a Teddy Boy, move himself and Eileen to the last house at Spinner’s End along with becoming the reluctant father to a raven-haired boy, Severus. Yet, alcoholism and fruitless job-hunting would take a toll over the years. With these factors and Eileen’s failed experiments, Tobias grew more aggressive than ever before. At the expense of her own son, Eileen kept hanging on until Tobias and Eileen would eventually face Death themselves. Leaving Severus in the cold.

Well...what do you think for a theory/headcanon?

Romania was forced to cede Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union on 26 June 1940, Northern Transylvania to Hungary on 30 August, and Southern Dobruja to Bulgaria in September. Prior to the coming of Oba Ewuare in the mid 15th century, the Ewu community was organized and governed by an ancient gerontocracy where a council of the oldest people called Edion administered the various communities that constituted Ewu, independently. According to figures communicated by the company in July 2018, the bikes are rented up to four times a day, representing 5,000 to 10,000 daily trips.

Tourism News: Latest Trends, Insights, and Updates in the Global Travel Industry

The tourism industry is one of the fastest-evolving sectors in the global economy, and staying updated with the latest tourism news is essential for travelers, businesses, and industry professionals alike. From emerging destinations to new travel regulations, the landscape of tourism is constantly shifting. In this blog, we will explore some of the most recent trends, exciting developments, and important updates in the world of tourism.

The Revival of Travel Post-Pandemic

One of the most significant developments in recent tourism news is the global rebound in travel following the pandemic. After years of disruptions, countries are witnessing a resurgence in both international and domestic tourism. Travel restrictions have eased in many regions, making it easier for tourists to visit their favorite destinations. This resurgence is not only a boost to the tourism industry but also to local economies that rely heavily on tourism-related revenue.

Airlines, hotels, and tour operators are seeing a surge in bookings, and many destinations are investing in infrastructure improvements to accommodate the growing number of travelers. New travel trends, such as sustainable tourism and slow travel, are also emerging as tourists seek more meaningful experiences that leave a lighter environmental footprint.

Sustainable Tourism: A Growing Focus

As travelers become more eco-conscious, sustainability has taken center stage in the tourism industry. Sustainable tourism practices, including reducing carbon footprints, supporting local communities, and minimizing environmental impact, are gaining traction. Many destinations and businesses are adopting eco-friendly practices, from carbon-neutral hotels to nature reserves that promote conservation.

The shift toward sustainable tourism is also driven by travelers' increasing desire to visit places that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. For example, many tourists are choosing destinations that promote responsible wildlife tourism, where activities are designed to support conservation efforts rather than exploit natural resources. This focus on sustainability is likely to continue shaping the future of global tourism.

Digital Transformation in the Travel Industry

Technology is transforming the way people plan and experience their travels. The latest tourism news highlights the rapid growth of digital solutions, from online booking platforms to virtual reality (VR) tours. In fact, some destinations are using VR to give potential visitors a taste of the experience before they even leave home, allowing them to explore famous landmarks, museums, or resorts remotely.

Additionally, mobile apps and AI-powered services are making it easier for tourists to navigate unfamiliar destinations, access real-time information, and find personalized recommendations. Whether it’s using a travel app for contactless check-ins or utilizing AI chatbots for customer service, digital tools are enhancing the travel experience and improving convenience for travelers.

Rise of Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations

As popular tourist spots become overcrowded, many travelers are seeking off-the-beaten-path destinations. These hidden gems, often away from the usual tourist crowds, offer more authentic and less commercialized experiences. In the latest tourism news, several destinations have seen a rise in interest from travelers looking for quieter, more unique locations.

Countries like Portugal, Costa Rica, and Bhutan are increasingly popular for their pristine landscapes, cultural richness, and commitment to sustainable tourism. These destinations not only offer an escape from the masses but also provide visitors with a chance to engage in deeper cultural exchanges and nature-based activities.

Changes in Travel Regulations and Safety Protocols

Finally, it’s important to stay informed about the latest travel regulations and safety protocols. As the world adapts to new global health challenges, many countries have implemented measures such as digital health passes, vaccination requirements, and quarantine regulations to safeguard public health. Understanding these policies is essential for smooth and stress-free travel.

Travel insurance has also become more important than ever, with many travelers seeking coverage for unforeseen disruptions or cancellations. Keeping up with the latest tourism news helps ensure that travelers are prepared and informed about any changes to entry requirements or safety measures.

Conclusion

The tourism industry is undergoing rapid transformation, and keeping up with the latest tourism news is vital for travelers and industry stakeholders. From the return of travel after the pandemic to the rise of sustainable and off-the-beaten-path destinations, the travel landscape is filled with exciting opportunities. As the world continues to evolve, so too will the ways in which we explore, discover, and experience new places. Whether you're a traveler, a business owner, or just an enthusiast of the tourism sector, staying informed about the latest updates ensures you make the most of the evolving world of travel.

[ad_1] In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory, Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani has pledged a massive $10 billion investment in the United States to enhance energy security and develop critical infrastructure. This strategic move aims to strengthen the economic ties between India and the U.S., creating an estimated 15,000 American jobs and fortifying the U.S. energy landscape.

Trump’s policies are expected to stimulate energy production, aligning well with Adani’s expansion plans. Adani conveyed his congratulations on social media, describing his company’s investment as part of a commitment to furthering U.S.-India relations.

Myntra: Great Styles, But Not Quite There for Perth Shoppers

While Myntra, the popular Indian fashion e-commerce platform, boasts a vast collection of trendy clothes and accessories, it might not be the most practical option for Perth shoppers. Here's why:

Delivery Dilemma: Myntra primarily caters to the Indian market, with its delivery services limited to Indian addresses. This means Perth residents wouldn't be able to enjoy the convenience of getting their Myntra finds delivered directly to their doorstep.

Shipping Costs and Delays: Even if you could find a workaround for delivery (like using a package forwarding service), international shipping can be expensive and time-consuming. You might end up waiting weeks for your order to arrive and facing hefty import fees.

Limited Selection for Australian Trends: Myntra's focus is on Indian fashion, which may not always align with the trends and styles popular in Perth. You might struggle to find pieces that perfectly suit the Australian aesthetic.

The Medhey Advantage:

However, fret not, fashion-forward Perthlings! The Medhey Ecommerce App offers a fantastic alternative:

Local Brands and Styles: Medhey connects you with a wide range of Australian and international brands, ensuring you stay on top of the latest Perth trends.

Quick and Easy Delivery: Enjoy the convenience of fast and reliable delivery within Australia. No more waiting weeks for your new outfit to arrive!

Competitive Prices: Medhey offers competitive pricing on a variety of products, so you can shop within your budget.

Exploring Perth's Fashion Scene:

While Medhey can be your go-to app for online shopping, Perth offers a vibrant fashion scene worth exploring too:

Perth Fashion Festival: Immerse yourself in the city's fashion scene at this annual event showcasing local and international designers.

Boutiques and Independent Stores: Discover unique pieces and support local businesses by exploring Perth's charming boutiques and independent stores.

Shopping Malls: From luxury brands to high-street favorites, Perth's shopping malls cater to diverse tastes and budgets.

So, while Myntra might not be the perfect fit for Perth shoppers, the Medhey App and Perth's thriving fashion scene offer a winning combination for staying stylish in this vibrant Western Australian city!

Bhutan Moves $66M Bitcoin to Binance Amidst BTC’s Approach to Record Peak

Key Points

The Royal Government of Bhutan transferred 929 Bitcoin to Binance, worth approximately $66.16 million.

Post-transfer, Bhutan now holds around $886.58 million worth of Bitcoin.

The Royal Government of Bhutan has recently moved 929 Bitcoin to Binance. This transaction, worth an estimated $66.16 million, has piqued interest within the crypto community.

The transfer was reported by blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain via its X account. Following this transaction, Bhutan’s government now has 12,456 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $886.58 million.

Speculations Surrounding The Transfer

This unexpected transfer has sparked curiosity, especially considering its timing. Bitcoin’s price is currently nearing its previous all-time high of around $74,000.

The reasons behind Bhutan’s decision remain a mystery. However, the timing of this transfer has led to speculation about the country’s crypto strategy. Bitcoin recently surged over 5% in 24 hours to cross $70,000, reaching its highest level since June.

Many governments and investors see this rally as an opportunity to adjust their holdings. By transferring to Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, the Bhutan government may be looking to capitalize on Bitcoin’s price surge.

Binance offers a wide array of services beyond basic trading, including staking, lending, and other investment products. Bhutan may be planning to leverage these features to grow its holdings further.

Bhutan’s Crypto Strategy

Experts believe that the recent transfer is part of Bhutan’s broader financial strategy. The country is exploring modern investment opportunities as opposed to traditional ones.

Bhutan’s Bitcoin holdings are now worth nearly $900 million. This indicates a unique approach to national asset management, as only a few other governments hold such large amounts of digital assets.

The future plans of Bhutan regarding Bitcoin or its future initiatives in the crypto space remain unclear. However, the latest transfer to Binance might be the first step in a grander plan that could include more trading activity or new crypto initiatives in the future.
