Decided that I will be liveblogging my experience with listening to the Magnus Archives. I have a general sense of who charachters are and some of the major spoilerish plot points due to going through the tags on Tumblr recently as well as reading some fics, but I'm pretty in the dark as far as the specifics go.

But yeah I listened to the first seven episodes last night! Thoughts as I was listening are under the cut.

Ep 1 - Angler Fish

Jonathon Sims, new head archivist for the Magnus institute(supernatural research place). Employed by Elias bouchard, head of the institute, to replace Gertrude Robinson, recently dead. Jon has worked here as a researcher for 4 years now. Jon is a skeptic. If an investigation has gone as far as possible without conclusion or new leads, it is transferred to the archives. Institute founded in 1818. Archive is terribly organized. 86-91G/H. Very few investigations actually seem to be stored down here, only the original statements. Three research assistants. One named Martin who he finds useless. Other two are Tim and Sasha. Some of the statements cannot be recorded digitally, can only be recorded with a tape recorder. Additional information about the followups is being provided by his assistants. Nathan Watts. Case #0122204. Old fishmarket close, Edinburgh. April 21st, 2012. Institute is in London. Fear of strangers. 6 disappearences Jessica Mcuin November 2005, Sarah Baldwin August 2006, Daniel Rawlins December 2006, Ashley Dobson and Megan Shure May and June 2008, John Fellows March 2010.

Ep 2 - Do not Open

Case #9982211. Joshua Gellespie. November 22nd, 1998. Bournemouth, that's where Jon was born. Fear of strangers. Fear/desire for the truth. Fear of death/being buried alive looks to be the main one. Most clever horror movies protagonist ever. Breacon and hope delivery company. Operated until 2009. Based on Nottingham far north of Bournemouth. Gellespie was the only person to live in that building for the two years he had the coffin. Nobody ever moved in after either. 2 years alone.

Ep 3- Across the Street

Case #0070107. Amy Patel. July 1st 2007. Disappearence of aquaitence Graham Forger. Voyeuristic tendencies from her. The spiral/madness? She watched him ceaselessy. Which hmmm. April 7th. Not Graham. Now being watched in return. Watching seems to be a central theme.

Ep 4- Page Turner

Case#0132806. Dominic Swain. June 28, 2013. Nottingham. Ex alte arua. From higher, from out of the heights. The vast. Jorgun Leitner. Mountains, cliffs. Fear of the sky. Vertigo. Key of Solomon. McGregor Matthew and jorun Leitner. Bought by GRbookworm. Gertrude Robinson? Jorgun leitner reclusive book collector. Had the book made possibly? Pinhole books, Mary keys. Ozone. Mary keys clean shaven with lots of tattooed words, listens to death metal. Her Jared? Painting of an eye. Grant is the sight that we may not know. Grant is the scent that we may not catch. Grant is the sound that we may not call. Jared made the painting. Bones fell out of the shadows of the other book. The dark for her bookshop? Lichtenburg figure in the starry vertigo sky. Childhood friend was struck by lightning because of him. Micheal Crew. Survived. Leather coat, dyed black hair. Jared Key. Had to be bought in order to give it away. Mary keys was murdered in 2008. Overdose of painkillers, extensive post motrum body mutilation. The flesh? Looked the same as the person he met. Her skin was hung up to dry. But with hair and tattoos. Jared charged with his mother's murder, but acquitted. Jared burned the book. 1994 incident related to leitner's library. Current project. His library is a problem. Mary's drying skin had been written on in permanent marker. The tattoos! The same language as the bone book. Jon will try to persuade Elias to make searching for the rest of leitner's books a top priority. They've done enough harm.

Ep 5- Thrown Away

Case #0092302. Kieran Woodward. 93 Lancaster Road Walthamstowe. February 23rd, 2009. Hundred of dollheads. David Attire, Matthew Wilkinson, Alan Parfett. The doll house. Next bag, a single super long piece of paper with the Lords prayer written over and over again in Latin. Ritual. Next bag absolutely filled with teeth. Residents had no idea. Alan found someone. Maybe the person leaving the bags. New bag. Packing peanuts. Metal heart of Alan inside. Saresh and Altman were the police who investigated. The teeth were all the same tooth. Needing to know the truth. Not entirely sure what this one is. Corruption or rot possibly?

Ep 6- Squirm

Case #0140912. Timothy Hodge. The dogstar pub/club. Skinny, student, long henna red hair, tron tights, too much eyeliner. Writhe. Her name is Harriet Lee. Arm scratching. Only water. Art student. Panic, difficulty with adjusting to student life. Recently mugged? Archway, Elfthorn row. Woman with long red dress on ground, which squirmed. Long matted black hair. Felt like she was stabbed. Being followed by her. Dragged down by a weight, skin itching plus vomited near the police station. They had sex, but after. Something squirmed inside her skin. She split open. Writhing worms everywhere. He burned down the flat afterwards. Description of red dress woman matches Jane Prentiss, which is concerning. Hodge was probably wormed during sex. Most definitely corruption.

Ep 7- the Piper

Case #9220611. Staff Sargeant Clarence Berry. Wilfred Owen. War. Poems. The trenchs. Wanting to fully describe the war but unable to. But don't worry. You will. Whistling tune. The whistle of artillery. Reborn in the remnants of his own gore. He met the war. The Piper. Avatar of the war? He said that he was left alive to do the wars work. Joseph rainers tags were found next to him. All who here the Piper never make it back. Hamlin was nearby. Are we the stolen children or the rats driven into the river. His poems now had the essence of the war. The ferocity within him...the war is almost over, and he is sad for it. He died when peace was signed. 1922.

Thoroughly enjoying this so far! But will definitely have to space out listening to it due to the spookiness levels.

EA FC 25 TOTW 7: A Disappointing Lineup in Ultimate Team Packs

The EA FC 25 TOTW 7 squad is currently live in Ultimate Team packs, but it has been met with disappointment from players, marking it as one of the weakest Team of the Week (TOTW) lineups seen so far. This decline in quality follows a promising start to the EA FC 25 season, where players were excited about big card releases.

The Current State of TOTW

Despite a strong debut for EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, the quality of the TOTW promos has significantly diminished in recent weeks. The latest TOTW 7 squad exemplifies this drop, with only a handful of notable players making the cut. In contrast, TOTW 6 featured players like Harry Kane and Josko Gvardiol, which raised expectations that have now been unfulfilled.

In EA FC 24, the TOTW promo received a refresh in TOTW 8 where the minimum rating was increased from 80 to 83, and this is definitely needed now, with 16 of the 23 players in EA FC 25 TOTW 7 rated 83 or lower. Apart from Openda and Martinez, EA Sports has also included players from Man City Women, Al Ittihad, Inter Miami, Juventus, and more.

The EA FC 25 TOTW 7 squad is available in Ultimate Team packs now until Wednesday, November 6 at 6pm GMT / 1pm EST / 10am PST, where it will be replaced by TOTW 8, which will hopefully include a rating refresh.

EA FC 25 TOTW 7 Squad Revealed

Man City Women's Jill Roord is the highest-rated player in EA FC 25 TOTW 7, with the Dutch midfielder rated 87 overall. Martinez, N'Golo Kante, and Openda are all rated 86 overall, while other standouts include Ademola Lookman and Maxence Lacroix, with the defender boasting 90 pace.

Here's the official EA FC 25 TOTW 7 squad in full:

CM: Jill Roord (Manchester City Women) - 87 OVR

CB: Inigo Martinez (Barcelona) - 86 OVR (Featured TOTW)

CDM: N'Golo Kante (Al Ittihad) - 86 OVR

ST: Lois Openda (RB Leipzig) - 86 OVR

ST: Lynn Williams (NJ/NY Gothams) - 85 OVR

CAM: Ademola Lookman (Atalanta) - 84 OVR

RM: Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford) - 83 OVR

GK: Lucas Chevalier (Lille) - 83 OVR

LB: Jordi Alba (Inter Miami) - 83 OVR

RM: Dodi Lukebakio (Sevilla) - 82 OVR

CAM: Ryan Gauld (Vancouver Whitecaps) - 82 OVR

ST: Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) - 81 OVR

CB: Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace) - 81 OVR

CAM: Kerem Akturkoglu (Benfica) - 81 OVR

LM: Kenan Yildiz (Juventus) - 80 OVR

ST: El Bilal Toure (Stuttgart) - 80 OVR

CM: Andrey Santos (Strausborg) - 80 OVR

ST: Ricardo Pepi (PSV) - 80 OVR

ST: Samu Omorodion (Porto) - 80 OVR

CAM: Julian Justvan (Nurnberg) - 80 OVR

RW: Xherdan Shaqiri (Basel) - 80 OVR

CB: Tarciane (Houston Dynamo Women) - 80 OVR

EA has improved the rating of the Featured TOTW in TOTW 7, with Martinez rated 86 overall instead of 84. Joining the TOTW 7 squad in Ultimate Team packs will be the Trailblazers Team 1 squad, with Team 2 of the promo set to take its place on Friday, November 1.

Our experts reveal the top tips all people should know when taking on renovations at home  Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or simply looking to save on professional costs, expert advice can be a game-changer for home renovations. From steering clear of common pitfalls to mastering the art of flooring installation, shares everything you need to know before diving into your next project: Things to consider before renovating your home  - Planning phase: “Many homeowners rush into renovations without a clear plan, leading to unforeseen issues and added costs. Take the time to draft a detailed plan, including a budget, timeline, and a list of necessary materials.” - Renovation permits: “Overlooking necessary permits can lead to costly fines and delays. Always check local building codes and obtain the required permits before starting any major renovation. You can check our rankings to see how well you fare in obtaining approval in your town or city.”  - Underestimating hidden costs: “It’s easy to underestimate the total cost of a renovation, especially when unexpected issues arise. Set aside a contingency fund of at least 10-20% of your budget to cover unforeseen expenses, such as discovering plumbing issues behind walls or needing to update electrical systems to meet current codes. Other hidden costs can include permits, inspection fees, and the potential for price increases in materials as the project progresses .” - Choosing the wrong materials: “Selecting materials that don’t meet the specific needs of your space can lead to premature wear and costly replacements. It’s essential to research and choose durable and appropriate materials for each room's function and style. For instance, while carpet may seem cosy in high-traffic areas, it wears out quickly and is susceptible to stains. Instead, consider durable, moisture-resistant options like tile or vinyl.” - Ignoring professional advice: “Sometimes, expert advice can save you from costly mistakes. Don’t hesitate to consult with professionals when dealing with complex tasks or when you’re unsure about certain aspects of your renovation. Their insights can be invaluable in ensuring a successful outcome.” Common flooring renovation mistakes to avoid “Among the various aspects of home renovations, flooring can be particularly challenging to get right. The complexity of selecting, installing, and maintaining flooring often requires a keen eye for detail and expertise. Mistakes in flooring installation can lead to significant issues, both aesthetically and functionally. Here are some of the most common mistakes you should be aware of:  - Incorrect subfloor preparation: “Failing to properly prepare the subfloor can lead to uneven surfaces and premature wear. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installing new flooring. This step is crucial for a smooth and durable finish. Neglecting this could result in repair costs exceeding £2,000.” - Ignoring acclimation: “Many types of flooring need to acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity before installation. Whether it is luxury vinyl or wooden flooring, Follow manufacturer guidelines for acclimation times; improper acclimation could devalue your home by up to £5,000 if the flooring needs replacement sooner than expected.” - Miscalculating material needs: “Buying too little or too much material can lead to delays or wasted resources. Measure your space carefully and account for any patterns or cuts required. It’s wise to purchase a little extra to cover any mistakes or future repairs. For more information, check out our guide on how to measure carpets.” - Failing to follow installation instructions: “Different flooring types have specific installation requirements. Not following these instructions can compromise the flooring’s performance and appearance. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines, and consider professional help if needed; overlooking these could lead to repairs costing £3,000 or more.” - Overlooking proper sealing and maintenance: “For certain flooring types, proper sealing is essential to protect against stains and moisture. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and resealing as needed, prolongs the life of your flooring and keeps it looking its best.” - Removing Original Flooring Features: “Many homeowners may be tempted to pull up original flooring in favour of cheaper alternatives, but this can devalue your home.

Morelos Ch F: Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard [5] def. Nicolas Mejia 7-5, 7-5 Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

Since several moments in this match, both players tried to maintain their moments through their aggression. However, Gio nailed more pressing moments in the eleventh game from the way he constructed his points, outhitting N. Mejia toward the end of the match. As a result, Gio managed to convert 33% of his 6 break points, which he created through his winners, while N. Mejia only had a break point through Gio's double-fault, but N. Mejia was unable to capitalize on it on his return due to an unforced error.

On the other hand, it appeared that both players had different strengths on serve. Overwhelmingly firing 18 aces (out of the cumulative 118 aces he fired in this tournament alone) than N. Mejia's 6, Gio had an exceptional first serve winning percentage at 86%, which helped him to handle some troubles. Interestingly, N. Mejia also stood out in the second serves with a 66% winning percentage than Gio's 50%, where his second serve errors were likely discreet. Somehow, N. Mejia won 66% more points from his second serve, trying to put Balance's error midway.

This title marked Gio's second Challenger title of the year after the Nottingham Challenger (indoor hard) earlier this year, as well as his second Challenger title in Mexico after winning his maiden Challenger title in Leon last year. As a result, Gio went back to 162 live by the conclusion of the tournament, and he will face Omar Jasika in the first round of the Acapulco Challenger. On the other hand, also partaking in Acapulco, N. Mejia will face Maxime Janvier, where the Colombian also received a Special Exempt for his stellar performance this week.

Matchday! United travel to north London to face Arsenal, with Erik ten Hag's side going in search of our first away victory of the season.

Home wins against Wolves and Nottingham Forest have sandwiched our loss at Tottenham Hotspur, with the Reds approaching the first international break of the 2023-24 season.

But before that, United must go toe-to-toe with Mikel Arteta's Gunners once more, having faced Arsenal during our pre-season tour of the United States.

Ten Hag's team emerged victorious, winning 2-0, but the Premier League proves to be a different level.

United have beaten Arsenal 99 times in all competitions over the years, from 238 matches between the clubs. The Gunners, on the other hand, have won 86 of our meetings. Should United come away with a win today, we will rack up a century of victories against Arsenal - becoming the first-ever side to do so.

I wouldn't expect anything from this game, considering our away record. But... who knows?

Wow!!! 2-0 down after 4 minutes, but come back to win 3-2!! Sounds like something out of the Ferguson years. The problem is, it’s anything but. Nottingham are a team who will be facing a relegation battle. The thought of that scoreline after 4 minutes at Old Trafford is simply extraordinary. Yes, we fought back, but had to rely on an extremely dodgy penalty to win it. In my view Rashford dived and the outcome should not have been a penalty for us but a booking for him. We don’t live in a perfect world though - last week we were denied a supposedly certain penalty against Toatenham - what goes around comes around.

My football correspondent was at the match, and in his review he gives a very diplomatic opinion of not only the penalty, but also those two quickfire opening goals:

hi - after the defeat at spurs i expected united to make a few changes - they did but most were enforced by injury - garnacho was on the bench after proving that he is best employed as an impact sub

united forced an early corner - it was headed out and further knocked away and suddenly forest striker awoniyi was clear of the last defender (Rashford ?) and bearing down on goal - keeper onana seemed frozen in indecision and eventually lay down in his 6 yard box as awoniyi scored past his left hand

2 minutes later forest had a free kick on united's left - it was swung in and took a minor deflection onto boly's head and bounced into goal - united 2 down after 4 minutes - wow - the only consolation was that united had 86 minutes to do something about it

on 17 minutes rashford, playing in his favoured spot wide on the left, got round the defence and played the ball across to eriksen who guided the ball past turners left hand - forest might have had a 3rd but awoniyi inadvertently blocked his mates shot - from a corner casemiro had a free header at the far post 4 yards out but it went wide - half time 1 - 2

on 52 minutes united had a free kick in a similar spot to forests 2nd goal - in a training ground routine fernandes hit it square to rashford who crossed into the box for fernandes to run onto and head across to casemiro who this time proved deadly from 2 yards - united went all out for the winner and on 67 minutes casemiro put fernandes through on goal - a desperate worrall pulled fernandes down just outside the area - the ref waved his red card and forest were down to 10 men - 9 minutes later rashford was adjudged to be fouled in the area - i use 'adjudged' deliberately as it wasn't a clear cut incident - fernandes stepped up and fired low to the keepers right and the comeback was complete

united never gave the impression of being completely in control of events and there were gasps of both surprise and consternation when the ref added 11 minutes stoppage time - forest were still a threat but united hung on

united looked fitter but still seem weak in midfield - it was far too easy for forest to get at united's back four - if there are no reinforcements in the last few days of the transfer window then ten hag will have to find a solution from the existing squad - he has a full week to prepare for the trip to arsenal - given united's recent poor record at the emirates (1 point from last 15) and their habit of losing away to any half decent side i'm not expecting much - but there again i wasn't expecting to be 2 down to forest in 4 minutes - so expect the unexpected

bye

Avec le début de la saison de Premier League 2023/24 qui approche à grands pas, il semble qu'il y ait deux clubs londoniens qui cherchent à ajouter un autre élément à leurs attaques. Selon Paul Taylor de The Athletic, le Brentford FC et Tottenham Hotspur poursuivent le joueur de Nottingham Forest Brennan Johnson. Brentford et Tottenham poursuivent Brennan Johnson Nottingham Forest rejette l'offre de Brentford Les Bees ont déjà dépensé 55 millions de livres sterling cette fenêtre de transfert, battant déjà deux fois leur record de transfert de club via Kevin Schade et Nathan Collins. Malgré cela, les West Londoniens continuent de dépenser car ils viennent de voir une offre de 35 millions de livres sterling (plus les add-ons) rejetée pour l'international gallois. PDJ : "À Londres" : un journaliste publie une mise à jour majeure avec une réunion de 86 millions de livres sterling désormais prévue pour aujourd'hui alors que le club se rapproche de Star Étant donné que les Garibaldi valorisent le joueur de 22 ans à 50 millions de livres sterling, les finissants à la 9e place auraient probablement visé un compromis quelque part au-dessus de 40 millions de livres sterling s'ils souhaitaient acquérir le joueur Steve Cooper qualifié de "fantastique". Comment Tottenham joue-t-il là-dedans? Les Spurs ont déjà renforcé leurs rangs offensifs cette fenêtre avec les ajouts de Manor Solomon et James Maddison, ainsi que la signature permanente de Dejan Kulusevski. Cela étant dit, poursuivre l'ailier du pied droit n'aurait pas beaucoup de sens à ce stade, d'autant plus qu'ils ont un besoin criant en défense centrale. Si les Lilywhites décident d'avancer dans leurs efforts pour signer l'attaquant et qu'ils ne parviennent pas à renforcer leur défense de quelque manière que ce soit, les fans seront sûrement furieux. Regardez: Comment Harry Kane se classe-t-il de tous les temps par rapport aux autres attaquants de Premier League? La probabilité que Johnson parte À moins que Brentford ne fasse une autre offre considérablement plus élevée que la précédente ou que Johnson ne remette une demande de transfert, il reste probablement où il est pour la prochaine saison de Premier League. PDJ : Ange Postecoglou brise le silence sur la star de 55 millions de livres sterling après 18 mois d'absence Cependant, ses capacités, combinées à son jeune âge, feront sûrement de lui une cible favorable pour d'autres clubs plus haut dans le classement. S'il continue à fournir des performances de haute qualité, ce ne sera qu'une question de temps avant que quelqu'un n'atteigne le prix qui lui a été fixé.

Entry 2: Exploration of a negative situation of a sports venue.

At Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989, Liverpool football club played Nottingham Forest football club in a Football Association Cup semi-final (Nolan et al. 2021). The football game was delayed due to the amount of fans stuck outside of the stadium, as there was only one entrance (Leppings Lane) and 7 turnstiles for the Liverpool fans into the stands (Tikkanen, 2023).

Diagram of the Leppings Lane entrance (BBC News, 2016).

This had caused a crowd to form, which led to the police officers at the entrance to open the exit gate to let people in whether they had a ticket or not, as there was no way on checking when letting them all through an exit gate (BBC News, 2022). This had then ended up filling the sections closest to the gate in pens 3 and 4 and then the game had started, which mean everyone pushed forward to get closer to the action, which then caused some fans to panic (Cocking & Drury, 2014), left to be crushed by the front barriers and some to be stood on (BBC News, 2016).

An explanation on what happened at Hillsborough in 1989 (BBC News, 2016). 

This incident resulted in 97 people dying and more than 760 people were injured (Tikkanen, 2023), the youngest being 10 and the oldest being 67 years old (BBC News). With the loss of many and the injured total being an enormous amount, the incident had been classified as a stampede and a mass gathering. De Almeida et al. (2019) defines a mass gathering as a large group of people all in a specific area/location all for a certain reason for an amount of time, which may cause pressure on planning and resources be able to provide.

The commander on duty had been sent to court in regards to his contribution to the fans duty of care, which was then found to be breached due to the police errors being made to cause the dangerous outcome, mistakes made by the police control box to open the gates, the stadium not being stable prior to the event, errors in the safety certificate for the stadium, the delay of declaration on the major incident by the police and the emergency response in ambulance service (BBC, 2016).  

This disaster had changed the way Football stadiums are being run by enforcing the Hillsborough Law, also known as the Public Authorities Bill, which aimed to use public funds to represent the families legally involved in the incident and providing the families with a public advocate to work within their public issues (BBC, 2023).
