19. Share a snippet from a wip without giving any context for it.

He wants to get into the room and celebrate with the guys, but Potash pulls him aside in the tunnel for a quick soundbite, and by the time he gets there Tom has already let the press in. Sid puts on his media face and heads to his stall to take his punishment. He’s stopped in his tracks when the group of guys in the middle of the room shifts and he sees Geno sitting with his legs spread and looking obscene in skin tight leggings, smiling up at a woman standing so close she’s nearly wedged between his thighs. She’s blonde and petite and pretty the way omegas are supposed to be, and Sid feels something hot and viscous surge up inside him, feels his lips peel back from his teeth involuntarily just as Geno’s head snaps around and he catches Sid’s eye with a questioning look.  All Sid can see is the mark on his neck—his mark on Geno’s neck, still a livid purple, imprinted forever on Geno’s skin—and the boiling tide in him begins to recede. He shrugs sheepishly at Geno and makes his feet take him across the room to his own stall instead of planting himself between Geno and that omega like the part of him that’s still snarling really wants to.

34. Do you write to improve? Or is that not a concern for you?

It's not something I consciously think about, but writing is like working a muscle—the more you do it, the better you get.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

"On the knees?"

ISRAEL VS. PALESTINE

Before we proceed to our main topic, let's have a short recap about the war between Israel and Palestine.

• It started in October 2023, the Hammas fighters fired rockets on Israel. Killing and injuring hundreds of people and taking hostages.1,400 people have been killed in Israel, the vast majority in the Hamas attacks.After the attack, the Israeli cabinet formally declared war against Hamas.Since then, the two sides have traded daily rocket fire, and Israel ordered more than one million Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza to evacuate ahead of a possible ground assault. Israel also pounded the territory from air, land and sea. Gaza's Health Ministry said the death toll among Palestinians has passed 8,000, mostly women and minors.Gaza is running out of water, fuel, and supplies amid an Israeli aid blockade, and the conflict risks spreading as cross-border strikes escalate in Lebanon and Syria.

RELIGION

• The State of Israel declares itself as a "Jewish and democratic state" and is the only country in the world with a Jewish-majority population. Other faiths in the country include Islam, Christianity, and the religion of the Druze people.

•Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem.

BORDER

• Palestine is generally defined as a region bounded on the east by the Jordan River, on the north by the border between modern Israel and Lebanon, on the west by the Mediterranean Sea (including the coast of Gaza), and on the south by the Negev, with its southernmost extension reaching the Gulf of Aqaba.

TERRITORY

• They both claim that they are the first people who lives in that country. During the time of Jesus Christ, the Jews believed that Israel was a promise land and given to them. But those people are from Europe so they need to travel until they went to Canaan but someone came before them which is the Palestinians. The United Nations approved to divide the British Palestine into two separate States: Jewish State (Israel) and Arab State (Palestine).

RESOURCES

Historic PALESTINE has long had an abundance of natural resources.

•fresh and ground water

•arable land

•rich in oil

•natural gas

•Mineral resources include potash, bromine, and magnesium, the last two deriving from the waters of the Dead Sea. Copper ore is located in the Arava, phosphates and small amounts of gypsum in the Negev, and some marble in Galilee.

ORIGIN OF THE PEOPLE

Jews and Palestinians are both came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Anatolia, Mesopotamian peoples in ancient times.Israelite, descendant of the Hebrew patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel after an all-night fight at Penuel near the stream of Jabbok (Genesis 32:28). The Israelites were members of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Palestine is the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, it has been controlled by many powers and kingdoms.

NOVA MUSIC FESTIVAL

• The Nova Music Festival is marking the Jewish holiday Sukkot and touted as an event celebrating “unity and love". Between 3,000 and 4,000 attendees flocked to an open-air space in Israel’s Negev Desert. Hamas attackers choked off avenues of escape from the Nova music festival. Hamas insurgents invaded attendees from all directions, killing at least 260 people and abducting dozens as hostages.The terrorists who assaulted Paris’ Bataclan in 2015 killed 130 people, including 90 inside the theater, and the mass murderer who opened fire on a country-music festival in Las Vegas in 2017 ultimately killed 60. At least 260 bodies would later be found at the festival site, according to Israeli rescue service Zaka.

ARE YOU A PRO PALESTINE OR PRO ISRAEL?

I'm a pro Israel because based on bible (Joshua 1:4) and other sources, Israel actually owns the country.

Joshua 1:4

Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

Deuteronomy 29:24

Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

“Uncover the History of Ancient Greek Pottery and How It Evolved Over Centuries

By Emma Taggart on July 17, 2021

Ancient Greek pottery now takes pride and place in museums all over the world, but these vessels aren’t only beautiful antiques. They give us a glimpse into the lives, practices, and beliefs of a long-past culture.

Read one to discover how these early ceramics were made, and how the Greek pottery style developed over the centuries.

How was ancient Greek pottery made?

Clay was widely available throughout Greece, but the most popular type was Attic clay. Due to high iron content, it had an orange-red color and a slight sheen when fired in a kiln.

Greek vessels were typically made on a potter's wheel in separate sections that were later joined together using clay slip—the body, the neck, the foot, and if necessary, the handles. The potter then returned to the wheel to smooth the join marks and refine the final shape.

Traditional Pottery Shapes

Greek potters aimed to produce ceramics for practical use, such as holding wine, water, oil, and perfumes. Once they found a shape that worked, it was reproduced and rarely changed. These four common forms remained consistent over the years:

LARGE STORAGE AND TRANSPORT VESSELS

These storage vessels had large bodies and strong handles. Traditional styles include the amphora, pithos, pelike, hydria, and pyxis.

MIXING VESSELS

Mixing vessels were usually made in the shape of large bowls with no handles or feet. They were used mainly for male drinking parties. Typical types include the krater and the dinos.

JUGS AND CUPS

Jugs and cups sometimes had long handles to make them easier to pick up when lying down. Famous styles include the kantharos, phiale, skyphos, oinochoe, and loutrophoros.

VASES FOR OILS, PERFUMES, AND COSMETICS

Lekythos vessel, 4th century BCE. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons, (CC0 1.0)

These vessels usually had long necks and no handles. Styles include the large lekythos, and the small aryballos, and alabastron.

Despite the fact that Greek pottery was relatively restricted in shape, artistic freedom was achieved through decoration. Scroll down to learn about the different painting styles that emerged.

Decorative Styles

After the potter sculpted the vessel, it was handed to the painter to decorate it. Painters often worked in collective workshops under the guidance of a “master” potter. The majority of Greek vases are unsigned, but it’s believed that many individuals of the craft were extremely prolific. In some cases, over 200 vases have been attributed to a single artist, identified through their distinct style. These painters didn’t earn much, but their work was in great demand and sold throughout the Mediterranean.

To decorate the vessels, ancient Greeks used brushes to add black pigment that was made from a mix of alkali potash or soda, clay with silicon, and black ferrous oxide of iron. The paint was affixed to the clay by using urine or vinegar which burned away in the kiln, leaving the pigment bound to the pot. In later pottery styles, details were often added with a thinned black paint which gave a yellow-brown or dark red hue after it was fired.

Greek pottery can be categorized into four main stylistic periods: Proto-geometric pottery, Geometric pottery, Black-figure pottery, and Red-figure pottery.

PROTO-GEOMETRIC POTTERY

The Greek vases of the proto-geometrical period (c. 1050 to 900 BCE) borrowed their forms and decorations from the Mycenaean culture, where artisans mainly painted simple circles, triangles, wavy lines, and arcs onto earthenware. Each neat marking is perfectly placed to complement the curves of the vessel, leading historians to believe they were carefully rendered using a compass and brushes in different sizes.

GEOMETRIC POTTERY

Geometric pottery, c. 850 BCE. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain)

From around 900 BCE, geometric art was flourishing in Greece. The painted pottery style developed to include bold linear designs that are now instantly recognizable as ancient Greek motifs. Using black varnish, painters adorned ceramics with horizontal lines (meanders), triangles, circles, and zigzag shapes that wrapped around the entire body of the vase.

By the 8th century BCE, artisans began covering ceramics in stylized human figures, birds, and animals, painted in brown and black. Over time, the decorations became more and more ornate, and artists filled empty spaces with all kinds of motifs, including the ancient religious swastika symbol (long before the Nazis reappropriated it).

Nearing the end of the 7th century, the geometric Orientalizing style emerged in Corinth. Artists combined Greek motifs and representative illustrations with the curved lines of Egyptian and Assyrian pottery to produce their unique style of ceramics. It was characterized by an expanded vocabulary of animal motifs—including the mythological sphinx and griffin—in friezes across the belly of the vase. By the end of the 7th century, this new trend spread throughout the country.

BLACK-FIGURE POTTERY

Black-figure pottery is perhaps the style that comes to mind when you think of Greek vessels. The celebrated method was a Corinthian invention during the 7th century and spread from there to other regions, including Sparta, Boeotia, Euboea, the east Greek islands, and Athens. Black-figure pottery dominated the market for the next 150 years as pottery painters gained confidence in rendering stylized figures and animals with much more detail. Mostly in black ink, the figures were often illustrated in complex scenes from Greek mythology. Artists painted their figures posed to show their movements, from fighting their enemies to dancing.

Around this time, many vase painters began signing their work. This indicates their pride and ambition as artists, as well as the high demand for their work. Many historians consider the finest work to belong to Exekias and The Amasis Painter, who are both noted for their expert painting skills and ability to tell a narrative through their art.

RED-FIGURE POTTERY

When the red-figure technique emerged, it was often seen in tandem with the black-figure style, and sometimes, both techniques even appeared on the same vase. However, by around 530 BCE, red-figure pottery took over and was the favored method that endured for the next 130 years.

Rather than paint the figures in black, artists began outlining them with a black slip background, leaving the figures in white. This allowed painters to achieve even more precision in their characters, from diverse facial expressions to intricate clothing details. Artists were also able to depict complex everyday scenes with greater perspective and overlapping figures.

By the 4th century BCE, vase painting became increasingly less popular, as the curved canvases had their limitations. Artists began favoring more open, flat media—such as wall painting—so that they could create more elaborate scenes. And so, traditional Greek pottery died out as an art form. Nevertheless, it's still an important historical medium that continues to captivate those who want to learn about this fascinating lost culture.

Differentiation of fertilizers: The Unique Imprint of Fertilizer Production Machines

 In the vast field of agriculture, there are many kinds of fertilizers, and how to accurately distinguish different types of fertilizers is crucial. In this process, fertilizer production machines have also left a unique mark.

Fertilizer production machines play a key role in the production of different types of fertilizers. For nitrogen fertilizer production, specific synthesis equipment is usually involved. These devices are able to convert raw materials such as nitrogen into a form of nitrogen that can be absorbed by plants under certain conditions. For example, ammonia synthesis equipment is an important machine in the production of nitrogen fertilizer, which through complex chemical reactions, nitrogen and hydrogen are synthesized into ammonia, and then further processed into various nitrogen fertilizer products.

The production of phosphate fertilizer requires different machinery and equipment. For example, in the processing of phosphate rock, the crushing equipment crushes large pieces of phosphate rock into fine particles, creating better conditions for subsequent chemical reactions. Then, under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, the reaction equipment converts the phosphorus elements in phosphate ores into phosphate fertilizer forms available to plants.

The production of potash fertilizer is also inseparable from professional fertilizer production machines. From the mining to processing of potassium ore, various equipment such as crushers and flotation machines work together to extract the potassium in potassium ore and process it into potassium fertilizer products.

The production of compound fertilizer requires the cooperation of a variety of machines. Mixing equipment will be different nutrient elements in accordance with a specific proportion of evenly mixed, to ensure that the nutrient content of the compound fertilizer is accurate. The granulation equipment processes the mixed material into a granular form for easy storage and transportation.

In addition, the technical level and performance of fertilizer production machines will also affect the quality and differentiation of fertilizers. Advanced production machines can control the production process more precisely, reduce the mixing of impurities, and improve the purity and effectiveness of fertilizers.

In short, the distinction of fertilizer should not only be based on its composition and function, but also can be observed and understood from the perspective of fertilizer production machines. Different types of fertilizers correspond to different production machines and processes, and the characteristics and performance of these machines also provide important clues for us to distinguish fertilizers. By understanding fertilizer production machines, we can better understand and choose fertilizers suitable for different crop needs, and contribute to the harvest of agricultural production.

Did you know? Samuel Hopkins was the first person to receive a U.S. patent on July 31, 1790. His patent was for an innovative process of making potash, an important ingredient used in the production of soap and fertilizer. Potash is chemically composed principally of potassium carbonate. Hopkins' patent was signed by President George Washington, Attorney General Edmund Randolph, and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson. This event marked the beginning of the United States patent system, establishing a legal foundation for protecting inventors' rights and encouraging innovation.

Fertilizer VS organic fertilizer in the end how to choose?

Fertilizer world

The three giants of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium: The three giants of fertilizer industry are non-nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They are found individually or in combination in our common fertilizers, providing quick and direct nutrients to plants.

Fast supply station: fertilizer is characterized by fast fertilizer effect. Nitrogen fertilizers like urea, which contains up to 46% nitrogen, can quickly relieve the symptoms of nitrogen deficiency in plants. Potash and phosphate fertilizers are also known for their efficiency.

Clearly label: When buying fertilizer, you can clearly see the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium ratio on the package, such as 10-5-45, so that you can see the fertilizer ingredients at a glance.

The charm of organic fertilizer

Natural source: Organic fertilizer mainly comes from animal and plant residues or excrement, and becomes a fertilizer rich in organic matter after processing.

Slow release and long acting: Compared with fertilizers, organic fertilizers have a more lasting effect. It can provide a continuous supply of nutrients for plants and promote the activity of soil microorganisms.

Improve soil: Long-term use of organic fertilizers can effectively improve soil structure and improve soil water retention and fertilizer retention capacity.

How to choose?

Choose on demand: Choose the right fertilizer according to your planting needs and the growth stage of the plant. For plants in urgent need of nutrition or rapid growth, chemical fertilizer can be selected; For growers who care about soil health and long-term benefits, organic fertilizer is a better choice.

Use together: You can also try to use chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers together to achieve the effect of complementarity. For example, while applying organic fertilizer, some fertilizer should be added appropriately according to the needs of plants.

Important reminder: In the domestic market, fertilizers that clearly mark the specific content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are basically fertilizers. Therefore, in the purchase must be carefully discerning, clear their needs.

In the Production process of Organic Fertilizer, Organic Fertilizer Production Line plays a vital role. This production line integrates advanced crushing, mixing, granulation, drying, screening and other process equipment.

With its strong granulation ability and stable particle quality, the Rotary Drum Granulator has become the star equipment in the production of organic fertilizer. It uses the special environment and movement trajectory formed inside the rotating drum to make the raw material powder continuously roll, collide, bond in the drum, and eventually form particles. This method is especially suitable for fertilizer formulations that require a certain humidity and rolling time to promote particle formation. The Rotary Drum Granulator has high production efficiency, can work continuously, and the particle size can be controlled by adjusting the drum speed, Angle and humidity parameters, which is very suitable for large-scale production.

The Disc Granulator provides more possibilities for the diversified production of organic fertilizer with its unique granulation principle and flexible operating performance. It uses the centrifugal force generated by the rotating disc to throw the raw material powder towards the edge of the disc and form a thin layer of material on the surface of the disc. With the continuous rotation of the disc, the powder particles in the material layer gradually bond into larger particles. The Disc Granulator is simple to operate and easy to control the size and shape of the particles. At the same time, it can optimize particle quality by adjusting parameters such as disc speed, tilt Angle and material humidity, and is suitable for a variety of different fertilizer formulations.

The first day of any IFA conference reminds me of schoolmates seeing each other after the long summer holidays. Lots of hugs, laughs, rumours, and gossip.

So, some news and first-day moods:

- Urea is giving mixed signals. It is supported by recent Egyptian sales but under a question mark for the next 60 days. India is awaiting the end of the election campaign to revert with a new tender in the end of June, with RCF is named as a purchasing agency. At the same time, the Egyptian government told producers to cut their output by 20% (the weather is hot). And MOPCO and Alexfert have both sold as high as $320 per metric tonne FOB.

- Phosphates: China is delaying shipments, and even the Indians are starting to accept that their lowball game may not be fully successful. Brazil stocks are high.

- Potash: All eyes are on the next Indian price agreement. Some say it may be south of $250 per metric tonne CFR. Well, IPL hopes.

- Turkey: mergers and acquisitions may be announced soon.
