CSSNS24 Fic: "For All Life and For All Time" (A CS Dracula AU in 3 Parts)

Author's Notes: Okay, so this is posted late, on a day that was luckily unclaimed. I struggled with doing justice to the work that probably began my love of all things Victorian Gothic, and re-reading it again for plotting and inspiration certainly didn't make the prospect any less daunting. While I love the original Bram Stoker novel's epistolary format, it was not something I wanted to carry on for an entire fic. Nor is this fully true to the original's narrative. I do hope that those who have read the novel and enjoyed it may find nods to the original to make them smile. I didn't want to make Killian the Dracula character - he is neither at all attractive nor redeemable in the original work - so he became my Van Helsing. Emma is the kick-butt awesome Mina Harker, quite a standout female character for that time, but I did away with the Jonathan Harker character altogether.

This starts in the middle of the action, then has a fair bit of reflection to bring readers up to speed. The next installment should have more action and pick up where this one leaves off.

A MILLION thank yous to @myfearless-love for all the editing work she did - my writing is quite a mess when I first translate it from my handwritten pages to a doc! She made it so much better, and I am incredibly grateful!!

A Victorian, Dracula-inspired AU in Three Parts

Please Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Summary: Having lost her dearest friend and with her own life on the line, Emma Swan joins a noble band to face an ancient evil. Three of them stand by her in honor of the one they loved and lost. The other might be the first man she could love. He might love her as well - even more than life itself. Time will tell... if they both survive the fight against their immortal enemy.

Part One

by: @snowbellewells

Emma craned her neck to peer out the small window of the carriage into the impenetrable darkness encroaching on all sides as the conveyance careened around sharp curves and stark cliff faces, making her stomach pitch and her heart leap into her throat. More than once, her mouth opened to call the driver, beg him to slow down, but each time a sudden jolt or swerve had her clenching her teeth and swallowing the words as she gripped the seat tightly. Pitching wildly from one side of the bench to the other, Emma was nearly toppled to the floor repeatedly as they sped on.

The torches beside the carriage doors flickered wildly behind the glass sconces but barely made pinpricks of light in the surrounding night; deep blackness which had swallowed them since leaving the small gypsy outpost where they had supped just an hour past. Emma realized belatedly that she was only becoming more overwrought by attempting to stare blindly into the void while they hurtled forward, and instead forced herself to lean her head against the seat back and close her eyes, resolutely taking deep, calming breaths.

Scant moments passed in such a manner before Emma felt her racing heartbeat slow. It was a different sort of thrill which then ran along her spine - distinct from the chill which had settled on her skin with the horrifying loss of Aurora’s sweet friendship and from the eerie foreboding which had accompanied her since setting out in this last effort to ensnare the perpetrator of her younger friend’s downfall. This determined trek higher and higher into the isolated Carpathian heights seemed to weigh on her more with every mile they gained.

Yet, despite the tightening pit in her stomach and the anxious flutter of her pulse, Emma would not fail to accomplish her part in Killian’s plan. The Professor had turned Emma Swan’s already teetering world upon its axis. He was beyond description - no words could capture what his mere presence, his voice, a glance in her direction could do to her - a power no man had ever held before, because she would not allow it. And yet every hair on her body stood on end when he was near; her awareness utterly captured by the mysterious scholar. He had introduced himself merely as Killian Jones when they met at Aurora’s sick bed, but as they had nursed her together, even when their every desperate attempt proved futile, it had become clear his vast intellect, his determination and resolve, placed him well beyond the scope of any man she had met before - or likely would again.

By the time he had spoken the truth of the fiend who had siphoned Aurora’s life before their eyes, she could not doubt him, even in the face of the utterly impossible - a vampire.

This ancient evil, Count Dracula, had ruled his isolated corner of the world for ages, but in coming to England and extending his reach, he was a threat to all mankind. Aurora had been only a prelude to what he intended. A monster of myth and legend had destroyed her innocent friend, and without pausing for rest, he had stalked and marked Emma as his next victim, only she had the advantage of awareness and warning enough to resist.

Though the threat was deadly, and knowing what she faced - stakes and dark graveyards and the betrayal of her very humanity from what she gathered of Aurora’s end that no one would speak of in full - Emma did not wish to be shielded and to wait hidden in safety while others risked their lives for her sake. She would have her hand in it, even if that meant to some extent playing the helpless damsel as bait in the trap.

To Killian, it was personal as well. He had still been a medical student long ago, traveling to study folk remedies in Romania when he met a darkly beautiful Countess, lonely and sad, all too eager to join him on his travels. She had set his world aflame - first in joy, and then in ruin, for she had not been as free as he had believed. He had fallen for her, and then seen her drained of life by her husband - the creature of night who had proven nightmares lived and walked the earth. Killian had only survived that first encounter because the Count wished him to suffer. For years, Killian had studied and prepared. He had made himself into an expert much different than he had once aimed, and he had intended for his suffering to end only when his life, or the Count’s, did as well.

There was a fine line to walk, however, between justice and bitter revenge. When he had seen the desire for reprisal in Emma after Aurora’s death, when she learned of the indignity to which the young beauty had been subjected and the lengths to which the men who cared for her had gone to assure her peaceful rest, she had sworn she would see this Count Dracula pay for his cruelty somehow. That was when Killian had told her all. “Do not fall into that trap, Swan,” he had spoken softly, though the import of his words was unmistakable. “That way lies ruin - only wasted years and endless torment.”

His blue eyes bored into her very soul as he strove to make her see. “When I lost my love, my Milah, I sore revenge upon her foul husband, the vampire who murdered her without remorse. I was nearly consumed, and when I finally came back to myself, I realized that seeking only retribution would make a monster of me as well. That was when I took on the name Van Helsing, obtained my licenses and degrees with it in fact, in the hope of evading his detection while I waited and watched and the years crept by. I must pursue the course for the sake of all, but not for my own ends, my own anger and hate.”

He would not release her eyes, his focus searing as he continued, “You too must find a way to separate yourself, to retain your purity of heart despite the terrible mission you undertake. Do what you must to save all, but do so without letting it twist your soul with similar darkness.”

And so, in their desperate alliance, they all had their roles to play - Aurora’s bowed but unbroken suitors, and she, Aurora’s dearest friend. The three gentlemen had rallied around Emma, swearing to protect her in her friend’s name. And Killian, their worthy advisor and leader, had not yet steered them wrong. She wanted justice and what retribution could be found for the torment Aurora had suffered. None of them would falter. They had taken solemn vows. Now all that remained was to see the mission through.

Emma could only wonder how had her life been altered so drastically in a few short weeks. Such thoughts replayed through her mind in what was at first a rose-tinged procession as she recalled how bright and full of promise she had been when first arriving on the coast of Whitby for a holiday with her childhood playmate. It had been some time since she and Aurora had seen each other, and those first days on the shore were spent in a haze of sunshine and laughter. They caught up with one another’s lives as they shared tea and biscuits on the wide veranda of the Spindleton’s gorgeous summer cottage. They giggled under the covers long into the nights, whispering of Aurora’s debut season, the many eager suitors who had vied to court her, and her blushing fondness for her chosen fiancé Sir Philip Thornswood, Lord Briarling. They also chuckled over Emma’s adventures - how she disguised herself in men’s pants to move freely while researching her stories, and the various pseudonyms she used when submitting her pieces for publication, subverting the male-dominated publishing world. 

It had been an idyllic change from the crowded, dingy part of London where Emma could afford to live and work. Aurora’s family belonged to the upper echelon of society, well-known and old-moneyed, and Emma had been mostly alone in the world for as long as she could remember. She was discovered on the front stoop of the Widow Lucas’ boarding house as an infant, wrapped in a snow white baby blanket with her name stitched in purple as the only clue to her identity. Fortunately, the Widow Lucas was a formidable woman, well-versed in making her way in the world against harrowing odds. She had already raised a granddaughter who was now off traveling the continent, so she took in the little blonde foundling and raised Emma as her own, teaching her all she knew. Though the tough older woman - “Granny” to all who knew her, especially Emma - had been gone for some years now, Emma remained eternally grateful that it was her doorstep her unknown parents had chosen that cold dawn so long ago.

Granny had even managed to scrounge and save enough, and was willing to spare Emma’s assistance twice a week, for riding lessons - where Emma had met Aurora Spindleton. Though poor Aurora had been an absolute lost cause at equestrian pursuits, Emma had excelled with enthusiasm, and everyone involved was relieved when she took the slightly younger future debutante under her wing during their lessons.

Emma loved the freedom riding gave her, and Granny was glad to know her charge would have the ability to get help quickly and effectively if ever needed - and defend herself too, if her skill in archery and marksmanship was any indication. In truth, Granny had been secretly delighted. She had lived long enough to know just how dangerous the world could be, and she wanted to see her girl as prepared as possible without completely tarnishing her outlook.

Though Aurora’s family was of a higher social standing, they had always been welcoming and kind to Emma whenever she visited their townhouse in Mayfair. She sensed that they were glad their only child had found a practical friend who could provide a steadying influence on Aurora’s naive, head-in-the-clouds sweetness. Since gossip photographers insisted on capturing and reporting the doings of the peerage, her parents were certainly relieved that Emma’s tips and encouragement had kept Aurora from being caught falling off her mount or in some other embarrassing faux pas. Aurora, for her part, was so endearing and open that Emma couldn’t resist being charmed. She might have been cosseted and sheltered, but she was hardly the sort of snob Emma had expected to encounter when mingling with the upper crust during her lessons. Instead, Emma was pleasantly surprised to make her first close friend - a friendship that lasted for years, with Emma always missing the Spindletons when they left for the shore in summer, counting down the days until her confidante would return.

This year, however, she had received a request, along with a train ticket, to join them at Whitby. It had been wonderful - strolling, swimming, and lovely summer hours blending together joyously - until all had gone horribly wrong. If only the happy, haze of sunshine-warm days had not gone dark and tinged with blood.

Aurora had already been betrothed to Philip by the time Emma had arrived. Still, it had been lovely to meet each of the worthy men who had sought her hand. With not an ounce of malice in her slender body, they had each sworn their friendship and fealty, even after the troth had been gently rejected. Even without Aurora there to blush and smile sweetly while introducing them, Emma could easily see why her friend might have been drawn to each in his own way, despite the obvious differences between them. All the men who had sought Aurora’s hand in marriage were honorable and true, respectable and worthy beyond reproach. Their faithfulness to Aurora tested beyond natural bounds and withstood the onslaught, and Emma felt the protection of their bravery as they had rallied around her when she faced a similar fate. If only any one of them had understood what had preyed on Aurora before it had been too late!

Philip Thornswood, Aurora’s betrothed, was the most like her young friend in Emma’s eyes. Upon first meeting the landed peer, she felt the warmth in his large, chocolate eyes, his gentle strength and charm, and she knew they would have melted Aurora’s heart irrevocably. There was a sad sweetness to his expression, as if Emma herself returned a bit of his lost love to him with her presence. He had bent over her hand to gallantly kiss its back, and she had blinked away tears for the happiness that Aurora would never enjoy, knowing the two would have been well-matched beyond her friend’s wildest dreams. All she could do was press his hand in return, and give him a wordless smile she only hoped might express her bittersweet feelings.

Graham Morris, from the wild, rolling hills of Ireland - a cowboy of sorts, as they would call it in the Americas - was a man of few words and swift action, easily winning and debonair, but  also a bit rumpled and informal. He was clearly happier out of doors, more comfortable in the woods and riding horses than in a crowd of people, and yet his easy good humor and almost bashful regard could easily have swayed her young friend. He was an excellent shot, ever on the alert, and a godsend to have in their desperate endeavor.

The third suitor, Dr. Jefferson Seward, was a celebrated and innovative physician who had fought to restore Aurora’s health with every fiber of his energy. If the foe he had battled had been a mortal man rather than an immortal being, Emma had no doubt they would have prevailed. Though he was slightly older, he was thoughtful and doting; Aurora would have naturally been fond of him. The affection between them had been undaunted by her choice of another - so much so that when Jefferson had found himself losing the fight for her life, he had urgently sent for his friend, the renown Professor Van Helsing, expert on the supernatural forces, to do what he could not.

And that was how she had come to be in this rattling horse-drawn carriage, racing up a treacherous mountain path. The devious monster who had taken everything from Aurora - and who now threatened to drain Emma’s own life as well - awaited her in the deserted outpost at the end of this long night’s journey. Her hands clenched and unclenched in her lap. Every few minutes, her fingers reflexively gripped her reticule, its strap looped around her wrist, drawing comfort from the small Derringer hidden within its folds. She also took strength from the knife secured in a special holster at the top of her stockings, pressing against her thigh. Her cheeks flushed at the memory of Professor Van Helsing - Killian - explaining its purpose as he presented her with the clever sheath. He had been deathly serious about her safety, but there also had been a heated flicker of clear attraction when she shyly gestured to ascertain where it should be worn, a moment that had ignited a warmth deep inside her.

The gentle feathering of gray in his hair near his temples and sideburns reminded her of the vast experience and knowledge he had gathered in his life - the very things they were all counting on to help them survive. The deeper lines around his startlingly bright blue eyes and at the corners of his firm lips reminded her that he had once smiled much more than he allowed himself to now. It made Emma wish to see him do so again. Everything about the man radiated power and purpose, commanding her respect from the moment they met, just as Aurora’s terrifying affliction had reached its peak. 

They had not won the victory any of them had prayed for, least of all Lord Briarling. Emma had hardly been able to bear looking at the strong young man bowed by grief as she had boarded the carriage for her mission. Philip Thornswood had given her a hand up onto the step, and was the last to speak to her before Killian Van Helsing’s own farewell. The gloom in his demeanor made her very glad she was not leaving the young gentleman alone, but in the company of true comrades. Even so, she trusted that Philip would not allow himself to falter in their cause. That steady hand, such a gentle support for her own as she ascended into the carriage, might have trembled in the doing, but had not hesitated to drive a stake into the breast of one he loved most in all the world for the sake of her eternal soul.

Breaking from her reflection on the journey’s beginning, Emma remembered herself suddenly as an eerie calm seeming to settle over her surroundings. She was instantly on alert when the carriage began to slow. A shiver of trepidation ran up her spine, returning her harshly to the present and the task before her. Outside there was a foreboding, unnatural quiet, only the crunch of the carriage wheels and the sound of the horses’ hooves on the rough ground broke the eerie silence. They rolled to a stop, and Emma leaned from the window, intent on calling up question the driver.

To her utter confusion and horror, when she glimpsed the seat where the driver had perched, she found no one there. He was gone, and she was stranded alone in the dark. Uncertain of what to do, but knowing she could not stay on the desolate mountain pass in the cold, Emma exited the carriage and alighted on the ground. As her feet touched the rough stone and dirt beneath, some unnerving signal was sounded. The silence was broken by the howling of wolves - loud, spine-tingling, and coming from every side, all around them.

There was no way to outrun them, and as the echo and answer of their baying circled nearer, Emma knew there was no way through their number at any rate, even without being able to see. The horses stamped and tossed their heads nervously, panic driving them as instinct warned them predators lingered just beyond the faint circles of light from the carriage lamps. She would not leave them to be devoured; nor would she lie down and wait to be torn apart herself. She was nearly there!

Desperate and trembling, but steeling her resolve, Emma moved to the front of the carriage, intending to climb up onto the driver’s box, take the reins, and break through the pack, to drive them to the castle herself. It might have been her imagination, her terror breathing life into her senses, but it felt as though the creatures drew closer still. She could almost hear the heavy pants and growls between their mournful howls and feel their hot, slavering breath on the back of her neck. A nervous glance over her shoulder showed only moving flashes of grey fur and horrifying red eyes shining out of the shadows. She had gripped the metal railing to pull herself up when all seemed to fall away, the night going perfectly still.

A dark figure glided with unnatural grace through the mass of half-seen forms. The pack almost seemed to bow their shaggy, sharp-toothed heads before it, if Emma could at all reconcile that impression in her mind. One would almost believe they had been summoned.

The slim, dark, and sinister figure appeared before her, having reached her almost before Emma could mark his movement. Wearing a fine black cloak trimmed in thick fur and reaching almost to the ground, Emma saw little else but the flash of deep garnet in its lining and the glimmer of an evil, yet irresistible, smile. A pale hand reached out of the folds of the garment, outstretched to take hers in strangely formal greeting.

“I believe you are seeking me,” a sibilant voice nearly crooned.

Emma fought back a shudder at the sight of dagger-sharp nails at the end of long fingers somehow reminiscent of spider legs, pulling her into the web. She wanted to deny his claim, but all resistance failed her. What else could she do but allow the cold, dry hand to encase her own, and pull her forward through the wolves and dark and gathering mist? This was the nightmare she had come to find…

Toki Reads Shonen Jump 2024, Issue #50

One Piece: Loki figures out he can leverage Luffy's and Shanks' relationship to free himself from six years of imprisonment; Robin returns to her pre-timeskip haircut so Saul would recognize her, and the fandom rejoiced. Brook, who also plans to use his hair to prove his identity to Laboon, being the one to cut Robin's hair is the cutest thing in the entire series

HxH: Hinrigh sees through Bolonenov's shapeshifting trick basically immediately; Chrollo reveals that he's trying to Phantom Thieve Kakin's national treasures specifically to get a power up to kill Hisoka, even if it costs his life. The death flags for the entirety of the Phantom Troupe are so numerous that Chrollo might as well be speaking in semaphore

Yozakura: Asa foresaw the plan to use Momo to break his Conquest, but Momo foresaw that Asa would foresee the plan and planned to use Kyoichiro's True Blooming to overcome Asa's contingency. I do not for a second buy that Kyoichiro is in any kind of danger from using his True Blooming

Undead Unluck: Julia dives into Victor's memories and learns how Undead and Unjustice first manifested; Victor comes back swingin'!; while I'm a tad underwhelmed by the first loop, the VictorJuiz content is really sweet and VictorJulia is a shockingly handsome couple

Roboco: Gorilla and Motsuo's friendly bullying is revealed to be a limiter for Bondo, who would otherwise allow their kindness to go to his head. This has always been one of my favorite bits in the series, and seeing it expanded upon was cute, funny and endearing

Sakamoto: Tenkyu takes Shin's "fortune-telling" to heart and doesn't retaliate when Shin tries to kill him, instead opting to run away; he then runs into Atari and learns the truth, immediately and gruesomely going back to killing afterward. I'm getting really endeared to Tenkyu, seeing the gears turn in his head is fascinating

EluSam: The final battle with Sadamune begins; Kojiro has earned more respect than he ever expected as a bastard child, Ayako is taller than ever, and the classic band of misfits have finally returned. I still don't care for the way Matsui depicts war scenes, but he really can compose single vignettes really well; Sadamune casually dodging Tokiyuki's arrow was easily the highlight of the chapter

Witch Watch: Moi realizes that Kuon really does have a vague and suspicious past, and was part of the previous Witch Watch team; he was also the inspiration for Uron Mirage, explaining both the similarities to the main cast and the vague storytelling style. That's a hell of a mystery that no one thought was a mystery and didn't even really need solving, but damn if it didn't just get solved

Blue Box: Chinatsu gets a nice recharge hug from Taiki, and fails to work up the nerve to kiss him; Chinatsu's dad has returned from The War(TM) to presumably throw a wrench in their relationship. I legit forgot they were living together, it feels like it hasn't been a factor in decades

Akane-Banashi: Issho, blood still running down his entire face from the beating he literally just took, deliriously listens to Kashiwaya's rakugo and has an epiphany that inspires him to become a rakugoka. The art of this chapter is great; the aged color pages, the conveyance of Issho's perceptions, and my favorite, the motion lines on Kashiwaya's actions creating the illusion of his pantomime's physicality

Kill Blue: The Home-Ec Club is challenged by the Maid and Butler Club to see who can get the most sales at the culture fest; as they've recruited a trio of Unicorns, this will certainly turn into a Mitsuoka Challenge. WAIT, THE PRECURE THING WAS RELEVANT?!

Nue: Gakuro uses his shadow-manipulation abilities in a way that I actually think is kind of cool for once and directly compares his feelings for Fujino to Rido's feelings for Mizuki; he gets stabbed for his troubles. If Gakuro somehow reneges on IMPLICITLY SAYING HE'S IN LOVE WITH FUJINO, I'm going to start biting

Kagurabachi: Hiruhiko reveals that he's never been to school, and heavily implies that the Sword Bearers are war criminals instead of heroes; Samura fails to beat the Billy Undead Unluck allegations and off-screens Uruha, allowing Hiruhiko to form a contract with Kumeyuri. While Samura's betrayal is perhaps a tad too sudden, I'm very interested in his character conflict; Hiruhiko wielding Kumeyuri after losing both of his arms is pretty sick imagery

Chojo: The gang want to show their appreciation to Chojo with a party, so they ask people who knew him in his younger days for ideas; they end up throwing a surprisingly bleak party where they thank him for being born. The look into Chojo's past does help flesh him out a bit, but I can't help but feel there's something important being obscured

Astro Royale: Himuro takes the Astro-enhancing drug and fuses with his Link; Hibaru allows himself to get frozen to save Kinpa, leaving her to fight Himuro and save the day. I'm shocked how much I enjoyed "I just don't like you" as Himuro's motivation in this arc, but the idea of his actions being 100% personal makes his abuse of power all the more apparent, as he's not even hiding the fact that he's doing so

Murakami: Kuin fuses with Sanmoto Gorozaemon to make him vulnerable to attacks, but Murakami uses it as an excuse to hang out with Kuin and Sanmoto instead; Sanmoto learns to love humanity, and reveals Murakami's secret heritage, this immediately turns out to be irrelevant since he's adopted; the series ends abruptly with a title drop. I'll admit, it kinda grew on me by the end with its cast and consistently improving sense of humor, but the last batch of jokes about Murakami's past was a bit of a weak ending

Kiyoshi: Kiyoshi faces the Great Demon Lord, Asuta Roth, who tanks all of Kiyoshi's previously established moves, though not without taking enough damage to at least be entertained. Asuta seems to be Kiyoshi's thematic inverse, so I look forward to how Usui continues to choreograph their fight

Hima-Ten: Kanna and Himari run into Tenichi while clothes shopping and drag him to a much trendier store than he intended; Kanna starts to worry that Honoka isn't the only rival she has to worry about. All of this can be solved with Kanna kissing girls

Ichi: Ichi turns Hisame into sashimi, and she's so impressed with how Ichi was able to bring out her literal inner beauty that she offers to date him (how she will do this in rock form, I have no idea); Ichi laments the loss of his sashimi boat. I am SO sure that Minakata, Ichi's mentor, is going to turn out to be a villain later

Shinobi: Umineko finally gets some attention and reveals through his inner monologue that he's a Yodaka fanboy; Hachikuma goes on the offensive in broad daylight, threatening countless civilians. The idea that Umineko loves Yodaka but, both inwardly and outwardly reacts with complete deadfaced stoicism, is absolutely hilarious to me

Hakutaku: We get a bit more insight into Zenji's dead brother, and Noto strongarms him into joining her team; Hikuma starts working on the game he promised last week, but it's gonna take two months to make, so that'll really show that mean lady. I kind of liked the transition into the reveal of Zenji's brother's coffin, but much like the rest of the series so far, it was inelegant to say the least; I'd really love to see this author improve

Every week over on twitter, WSJSurvey does a poll for folks' top 3 manga of the week (just like Jump does), and this was the first week I actually had a tough time deciding my favorites!

Obviously UU was the best, but Ichi didn't quite scratch the itch this time (probably because I'm bitter about being wrong again...). Kiyoshi's choreography and Roboco's endearing displays of Friendship ended up winning out, but Kagurabachi's weighty twist and Akane-Banashi's artistry both made extremely compelling cases

weird inchoate throughts incoming:

i noticed the way i infodump about something im deeply into tends to be a bit different from how other people do it and this might be a product of me masking, i dont know. but now a days i tend to be more reserved about this stuff than i used to be when i was younger. i try to stay away from just word vomiting everything i know and/or might find interesting about the topic, but rather try to curate the information and the way im presenting it as if i was pitching it.

rather than merely exposit im almost trying to sell the concept, im trying to make sure it has at least a shadow of the same emotional impact that it had on me when i first discovered it, im almost trying to reverse engineer the experience i had learning about the thing for the first time. so that they can GET IT, so that they can feel it in their bones what i felt, so that they can see not just what it is but WHY i care so much about it, so that they care a little bit as well and they dont think im a weirdo for talking non stop at them about something they dont care about.

im trying to get them invested

in order to do this i try to stay away from merely rapid fire exposition, this isnt an oral exam or a memorization test, this is a story that i am about to tell. i will keep firmly in mind what is merely tecnical minutia that wont contribute to selling the idea and what are the emotional keystones to get the listener hooked, i will try to cold read my audience a bit to see what tone to strike, how much energy to put into my tone, what thing to emphazise, what things to leave by the wayside.

the first thing ill keep in mind is that i will try my best to make this a conversation, which means that instead of launching on a 40 minutes long monologue, ill try to structure it as questions and answers. every time the conversation goes back to me and i launch on a fifteen minute rant about something i am directly and very pointedly adressing the question the other person asked. this helps the whole thing stay focused, structured and most important, interesting for the person listening to me. they are getting something they want from me and i get to feel smart by being able to explain whatever the other person wants to know about this vast world i hold inside of me.

there is a downside to this which is that im very dependant on the other persons full willingness to paticipate and keep the conversation going. but the upside of that is that the times it happens i know for a fact the other person is actually paying attention and interested in what i have to say

when i introduce the idea for the first time i try to reduce it to its most fundamental essntials, as quick and succint as i can make it while still communicating the very core of the concept. i try to make it concentrated and flavorful, promising depths and complexities beneath if the interlocutor is ever interested in plundering its dpths with me and if they bite, that is when the dumping starts.

a common mistake i see is people going on and on about details that are not relevant for the overall conveyance of the experience, it will just dizzy and confuse the listener trying to keep all details straight without knowing what is the main take away from it all. i will forego using too many names, opting for general labels like "this dude" or "the blue chick" or "the weird one i told you about". ill refer to previous events like "the big fuck up" or "that party" and so on and such.

i will make liberal use of hands and body gestures, ill put on a fun one-girl theatre show extravanganza, ill make voices and faces. ill re tell certain bits in a much more exagerated and overacted way because that way its a bit funnier and more engaging to listen to when coming from a person talking. ill pause, ill create dramatic tension, retell my own reactions that i had when i got to a certain part.

i will also try to highly structure the whole thing, if im about to embark on a tangent or a quick aside that is vital to get context i will make sure the listener knows this, ill put a pin on what i was saying, lay some sign boards on the ground and once we rejoin the main narrative ill make it explicit that that is what we are doing.

i have been told im really good at explaining things, i like to think is one of my talents, definetly is a thing i had a lot of practisce in. this is the first time i actually sat down to examine what is it that i do to get these results

Using Strategies to Win at Slots

You'll in like manner get to know the game's RTP, its unsteadiness, its conveyance date, and the item fashioner that made it. For extensive overviews for the top web based club by and large, take a gander at our reviews page.

Accepting for a moment that you're looking for the best strategy for gaming machines, one thing you'll have to zero in on is the Re-appearance of Player (RTP) rating.

RTP is a rate tending to the speculative proportion of money any betting machine will return to the player over the machine's lifetime.

A machine with a RTP higher than 100% is one that, long term, will pay out more than it takes in.

Ponder the quantity of betting machines have a RTP higher than 100%. None! There are no gaming machines that will at last compensation out more than they take in.

Truly, betting machines will frequently have RTPs some place in the scope of 90% and 98%, though some can plunge lower than that.

They each charge a cost for giving you your own money — generally around 2%-5%. If you're set out toward the club, stop by your bank and take out the money you'll wager with.

Back to space RTPs. Ordinarily, you should play spaces with the most significant RTP. Positively, you will lose cash over an extended time, but you are not there for the long run. You want to win a reasonably assessed huge stake and get back.

Coincidentally, another nature of a gaming machine that is for the most part followed is its flimsiness.

Unusualness is basically an indication of how constantly the machine pays out. Low eccentricism machines pay out extra often yet in additional unassuming aggregates.

Along these lines, remember that RTP is the number you want to know inside and out. Unsteadiness is a respectable indication of how much "movement" you will get from the machine.

Not all gaming machines are made something practically the same. Some have five reels and three sections, while others will have six and seven. A particular gaming machine could have a 94% RTP, while the one near it is at 97%.

You get the point; it are very surprising to game machines.

I recently highlighted the meaning of investigating your opening and its RTP, yet something different you really want to zero in on is the space settings. Check out Polo4d slot.

Most spaces license you to change your bet size, yet some will attempt to allow you to change the paylines.

Why is that critical? For sure, it grants you to change the settings to oblige your style best. One gaming machine could say it costs some place in the scope of $3 and $50 to turn. Expecting you are on a $5 betting machine procedure, that doesn't definitively work for you.

Florida Lady Bird Deed

Highlights:

-A Florida lady bird deed is an easy and cheap way of passing property to your heir while avoiding probate.

-The lady bird deed gives the homeowner a life estate in their property and names their heir to succeed them as owner.

-The lady bird deed is also known as an enhanced life estate deed because the life tenant retains the ability to sell or mortgage the property.  

 Definition of a Florida Lady Bird Deed

A lady bird deed conveys a property that someone owns outright to the same person as life tenant, then to his heirs upon his death.   The transfer of property interests takes place before the life tenant’s death, so there is no need for a probate after his death.

An owner who becomes a life tenant under a lady bird deed retains control over his property.  If the property is his homestead, it will retain the Florida homestead protection against creditors after the deed is recorded.  

A lady bird deed is much more flexible than a life estate deed.  An ordinary life tenant only retains the right to live in the property (he can not sell or mortgage it without the consent of his heirs).  An enhanced life tenant under a lady bird deed, however, retains control over his property.  He can mortgage or sell the property without the consent of his heirs. 

The  interests of the heirs (remaindermen) who inherit under a lady bird deed vest when the life tenant dies.  This means that the heris’ creditors can not place a lien against their interests in the property until they actually become owners.

Florida common law principles of life estates and property conveyance support the use of a lady bird deed.

Drafting and Recording a Lady Bird Deed

A valid Florida Lady Bird Deed must meet certain requirements to be effective:

Parties: The deed must clearly identify the grantor (the homeowner transferring the property), the life tenant (usually the same as the grantor), and the remaindermen (those who will inherit the property).

Legal Description: The deed must contain the precise legal description of the property, which can be found in the original deed or title documents.

Execution: The deed must be signed by the grantor in the presence of two witnesses and a notary.

Recording: After being properly executed, the deed must be recorded in the county public records where the property is located.

Many Florida attorneys charge between $350 and $450 to draft and record a Lady Bird Deed, making it an affordable estate planning tool.

Advantages of a Lady Bird Deed

Avoids Probate: The most significant benefit of a Lady Bird Deed is that it avoids the need for probate, allowing the property to transfer directly to heirs without court involvement. 

Low Cost: Compared to setting up a living trust or going through probate, the cost of creating and recording a Lady Bird Deed is minimal.  

Retains Flexibility: The homeowner can change their estate plan at any time by selling, mortgaging, or re-deeding the property without the consent of the remaindermen.

Protects Assets from Medicaid Recovery: If the deed is executed before applying for Medicaid, the property can be shielded from Medicaid estate recovery, preserving it for heirs.

No Gift Tax: The transfer does not trigger any immediate gift tax liability, as the homeowner retains full control over the property during their lifetime.  

Asset Protection: a lady bird deed protects the property from the creditors of the heirs until they inherit it.

 Disadvantages of a Lady Bird Deed

1. May Not Be Suitable for Multiple Heirs: If the property is being passed to several heirs, a Lady Bird Deed can lead to conflicts and complicate future decisions about the property.

 2. No Contingent Beneficiaries: The deed is not designed for use in situations where a series of contingent beneficiaries is desired (for example, leaving property first to a spouse and then to children if the spouse dies first).  In that situation, you should use a trust instead.

3.     Objections from Mortgage and Title Companies (Rare):   As stated above, lady bird deeds have been recognized as valid by Florida courts.  However, sometimes title companies and mortgage lenders who have not previously dealt with a lady bird deed have questions as to their validity.

 Examples of a Lady Bird Deed in Estate Planning

Example 1: Protecting the Family Home for a Surviving Child Sarah, an elderly widow, owns her home in Florida. She wants to ensure that her only daughter, Lisa, inherits the house without having to go through probate. Sarah executes a lady bird deed that transfers the home to herself as a life tenant and names Lisa as the heir. Sarah lives in the house the rest of her life. Upon Sarah's death, the home automatically passes to Lisa, avoiding probate.

Example 2: Preserving a Vacation Property from Medicaid Recovery John owns a vacation home in Florida that he wants to leave to his two adult sons. John is concerned about needing long-term care through Medicaid and Medicaid then taking his property as reimbursement  after he dies. John creates a Lady Bird Deed naming himself as life tenant and his sons as heirs. This allows him to retain control over the property during his lifetime while ensuring it passes to his sons directly upon his death, without being subject to Medicaid recovery.

 In summary, a Florida lady bird deed is a convenient estate planning tool where you convey your property to your heir before you die to avoid probate.

In Ayurveda, the power of a spice can change contingent upon the season it is reaped, its geographic area, and the consideration taken in development.

Customary Plan Techniques

One of the central qualities of a Characteristic Ayurveda maker is the strategy used to plan their items. While present day innovation assumes a significant part in guaranteeing item security and life span, Ayurvedic assembling ought to constantly stick to customary practices. Old Ayurvedic texts give exact techniques to handling and joining spices to guarantee they work synergistically and actually.

Numerous true Ayurvedic cures demand tedious cycles, like sluggish drying or aging, to extricate the full power of the plants. These conventional strategies have been gone down through ages, and keeping up with them is fundamental for any maker focused on creating great Ayurvedic items.

Logical Approval

In spite of the fact that Ayurveda has endured over the extreme long haul, current customers frequently look for logical approval for the items they use. Respectable Ayurvedic products manufacturers in Jaipur incorporate conventional information with present day science to guarantee their items are both protected and powerful.

Through exhaustive testing and endorsement, creators can certify the strength of their things. This incorporates both in-house testing as well as untouchable lab certifications to ensure the idea of trimmings and the finished thing. Ayubal Wellness, for example, places assets into quality control assesses that line up with overall standards, ensuring that every thing they release is unsurprising, safe, and strong

Supportability and Moral Practices

A Characteristic Ayurveda manufacturer not just spotlights on the immaculateness and viability of the items yet in addition on the more extensive effect of their creation processes. Manageability is a vital part of Ayurvedic reasoning, which underlines living as one with nature. This ethos converts into capable obtaining works on, lessening the natural impression, and guaranteeing fair treatment for all engaged with the production network.

As worldwide purchasers become more eco-cognizant, makers are supposed to maintain moral guidelines in each part of their business. This incorporates feasible cultivating, decreasing waste, and utilizing eco-accommodating bundling. Driving brands like Ayubal Health guarantee that their practices line up with the standards of both Ayurveda and natural obligation.

The Developing Interest for Ayurvedic Items

As of late, Ayurvedic products have seen a flood in fame across the globe.

The job of Ayurvedic products manufacturer in this developing business sector couldn't possibly be more significant. As the interest for normal cures keeps on rising, makers should stay aware of the necessities of present day buyers while remaining consistent with the basic standards of Ayurveda.

Picking the Right Ayurvedic products

For shoppers looking for Ayurvedic arrangements, it is critical to pick the right items. Not all items named as "Ayurvedic" or "normal" stick to the conventional standards of Ayurveda. A few makers cut corners, utilizing disappointing fixings or excluding key stages in the creation cycle, which can influence the viability of the end result.

While choosing Ayurvedic items, it's crucial to search for producers with a demonstrated history, such as Ayubal Wellness , who are committed to legitimacy, manageability, and quality. Purchasers ought to focus on items that are straightforward about their obtaining, fixings, and creation strategies. Also, accreditations from trustworthy associations can offer an additional layer of affirmation that the items satisfy high guidelines.

As the world keeps on embracing regular health rehearsals, the eventual fate of Ayurveda looks encouraging. A Characteristic Ayurveda producer assumes an undeniably essential part in overcoming any barrier between old mending shrewdness and present day purchaser needs. By proceeding to improve while keeping up with the center standards of Ayurveda, producers will assist with guaranteeing that this respected framework stays pertinent for a long time into the future.

The test for Ayurvedic items producers pushing ahead is to keep up with the fragile harmony among custom and development. As buyer requests develop, producers should keep putting resources into exploration, supportability, and training to stay serious while maintaining the respectability of Ayurvedic rehearsals.

All in all, the ascent of Ayurveda and the job of normal makers like Ayubal wellness denotes a huge shift toward all encompassing, nature-based wellbeing arrangements. The eventual fate of wellbeing lies in regarding and using the force of nature, and Ayurveda, through believed makers, will keep on being a directing power in this change.

DnDoc, The Mushroom Planet #2 - Rookie Riders

Part 1

Previous stories: DnDoc, Coming Home DnDoc, Space Band DnDoc,A Man's a Man DnDoc, The God of Rock 'n' Roll DnDoc, The Loch o' the Lowes

---

"And that's you got your Rosalina kart all set up, my friend," said a man in a Shy Guy mask. He was talking super fast but somehow combining that with Shy Guy's guttural rattle. "Drybones guy next!"

   Rogue stepped forward to be measured for his kart whilst Shy Guy flitted around him with a tape measure. The Doctor was leaning back in his kart and luxuriating in the long turquoise dress he'd been given as his Rosalina costume. Ruby hadn't realised there were going to be costumes involved and wondered if Rogue was regretting his Drybones choice. The karts had been coming out on a conveyer belt, with the Doctor's currently sitting right beside Shy Guy's workstation. As Rogue's emerged from behind  a curtain, the Doctor's shunted along a metre or so, taking him closer to a huge hole in the wall that led onto the track.

   "There ya go, Drybones," said Shy Guy, handing Rogue a huge mask with a pretend skeletal protrusion at the front. Ruby wasn't sure that was going to be conducive to racing.

    But as Rogue put on his new Drybones hat, he said, "Wow, the eyeholes are just right."

   Shy Guy made a happy gurgling sound. "I didn't do all that measuring for nothin', ya know!"

   This was the least shy Shy Guy Ruby had ever met.

   Rogue stepped forward into his Drybones kart and smiled in open-mouthed surprise as he found he was able to stretch his legs all the way out. The Doctor twisted around to get a good look at the Drybones mask and pursed his lips to keep from laughing.

   When he noticed this, Rogue folded his arms and mumbled, "Just cos you look beautiful."

   "So how'd you all get here today?" said Shy Guy as he started Ruby's measurements.

   "We came in my ship," said the Doctor. "And his."

   "Well, mine's collecting dust a bit, in all honesty," said Rogue. His voice was startlingly clear through the mask. "We bring them both everywhere but his is so huge and it has everything we could ever need."

   "Oh! Is it the little blue box and the big bird like number that came in today?" said Shy Guy.

   "That's them," said Ruby.

   "Oh, I’d love to take a look at those," said Shy Guy.

   "Hey!" the Doctor snapped. "The TARDIS is not for sale. Not. For sale. Okay?"

   "I was only thinking that I could send Lakitu with his camera out into the field to take a little look…"

   "Stop it," said the Doctor, but the corners of his mouth were starting to curl into a smile. None of them could see Shy Guy's face, but he was scratching his chin in such an exaggerated fashion that he was clearly just pushing the Doctor's buttons.

   "Alrighty, well, here's your dress, Daisy! You'll notice it has clips on the outside to attach to the inside of the kart, keeping it secure as you swoop from treetop to ice mountain." Ruby stepped behind a curtain for a moment to change into her dress, cramming her own clothes into a Koopa shell shaped backpack. When she re-emerged, Shy Guy gestured to his right and said, "And here is your kart."

   The conveyer belt juddered again and Ruby stepped forward and hopped into Daisy's yellow kart. Then before she could thank Shy Guy the conveyer belt took them all through the hole onto the tightly packed dirt of the track. Ruby was glad they were starting with Mushroom Gorge and not something terrifying and difficult, though she supposed she'd see if she was still saying that when she was looking into the abyss of the gorge itself.

   Ruby was also glad to find a 1 button, a 2 button, an A button and a shoulder button on the control panel before her. She did see that the person next to her, who was wearing an enormous Birdo hat, had A, B, X, Y and arrow buttons, suggesting they used the DS version more when playing at home. Surely it was unfair if Ruby was the only one using motion controls. But she didn't have long to question this because before she knew it there was a holographic countdown above their heads and a horn buzzing at them.

   Taking a deep breath, Ruby followed the pattern for getting a boost start. Press 2 on 3, press 2 on 2, hold 2 on 1, then keep holding. Ruby executed it perfectly, as did Rogue and the Doctor. They sped away amidst clouds of exhaust fumes from people who hadn't quite got it right. Suddenly they were in a pack of five who stretched out the lead in front, swooping and grinding around the turns. Ruby winced as she drove straight into her first power-up box, a part of her convinced she would crash, but instead there was a shower of light around her and a ding-ding-ding. She had a red shell.

   She was right behind Rogue. Oh, this was too good. But annoyingly just at that moment Rogue overtook another driver and Ruby ended up shooting it at that kart instead - a nimble Yoshi's egg. She  shot past the startled Yoshi driver to catch Rogue and the Doctor.

   Towards the end of the first lap, they came upon the Gorge in question. Ruby was just behind the Doctor, with Rogue a tiny bit further back (there had been a triple-banana incident.) She followed the Doctor up onto the bouncing mushrooms that acted as stepping stones to the other side of the deep black pit. But she was too close to him, and so the timing of the bounces was just off for her. She didn't have enough speed to get to the third, and tumbled into the depths.

   But then she was caught. She was staring into the dark, tipped forward vertically, but Lakitu in his floating cloud had his fishing rod hooked onto her kart and was lifting it back up to the first mushroom. She looked up at him, but quickly looked away again. It was way too scary to meet the eye of the tiny little turtle creature keeping her from falling down the endless chasm. Finally, Lakitu deposited her back on the mushroom, and she sped forward immediately to keep herself from freaking out. She managed to get her own rhythm going this time, and bounced across to the other side of the gorge.

   Rogue and the Doctor were both ahead of her now, though the three of them were in first, second and third as they raced towards the line for the end of their first lap. Ruby heard a cry that she assumed was the Doctor gloating about getting there first, but then she saw both him and Rogue completely spin out and before she knew it she was on them and clattering into them too.

   "Somebody shot bananas backwards from the first item box!" the Doctor shouted. "Littered the finish line. Oh that is so scummy and brilliant!"

   "Thanks," groaned Rogue.

   The Doctor twisted around to face him. "It was you?"

   "It was in case we weren't at the front at the end of the first lap," said Rogue.

   "Oh, ye of little faith," grumbled the Doctor, starting work on a twenty-three point turn to disentangle himself from Rogue and Ruby.

   Rogue and Ruby did the same, but it was not easy with just a couple of buttons and tilt controls. Most of the rest of the field flew past, some suppressing giggles, some openly laughing at them. By the time they were back on the road, they were toast. And like Lightning McQueen, Ruby kissed goodbye to her dream of winning the cup in her rookie season.

Whether you’re returning home or visiting, you’ll follow the same 3 steps to enter Canada:

Step 1. Pre-arrival: Use Advance Declaration or complete a Declaration Card

If you’re arriving by air at one of Canada’s participating international airports, you can save time at the border. Submit your customs and immigration declaration online using Advance Declaration up to 72 hours before you arrive in Canada.

If you choose not to submit your declaration in advance, you can complete it at an airport kiosk or eGate. If you’re landing at an airport without kiosks or eGates, you’ll receive a Declaration Card on board the aircraft or other conveyance. Read the instructions and complete the card before you arrive. Have it ready to present to Canadian officials at the airport, along with your identification and other travel documents. If you're travelling with children, please have their documentation ready as well.

If using a Declaration Card, detach and discard the instructions. To help us serve you faster, do not fold the card.

Everyone arriving in Canada must complete a declaration. You can list up to 4 people living at the same residence on one card, or 8 people per Advance Declaration submission.

The Declaration Card or Advance Declaration submission tells us what we need to know about you, your travels and what you’re bringing into the country.

Connecting to another flight

If you’re connecting to another flight or travelling on to another destination and re-boarding the same plane, follow the signs. At some airports, you may have to check your baggage and have it screened again.

If you travel frequently our trusted traveller programs can help

If you're a member of a trusted traveller program, you can skip Step 2 and go directly to the automated kiosks or eGates for faster processing.

Step 2. Arrival: First CBSA checkpoint

When you arrive at the terminal, follow the signs to the first Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) checkpoint, also called “primary inspection.”

If you used Advance Declaration, go to a kiosk or eGate to retrieve your confirmed declaration receipt. Up to 5 people may use a kiosk as a group upon arrival.

Next, a border services officer will examine your:

Declaration Card or Advance Declaration kiosk receipt

your identification

other travel documents

The officer may ask you a series of questions to determine:

your immigration status

the type of any goods you're bringing with you

your duty-free allowance

your personal exemption entitlements

Goods not properly declared that are restricted or prohibited in Canada can, under the law, be seized.

Newcomer or coming to Canada to study or work

If you’re a newcomer to Canada, coming to study or work in Canada, you may need to present further documentation. The officer will help guide you through this process. You may ask the officer for help if you don’t speak English or French well.

Step 3. Baggage and second CBSA checkpoint

Go to the baggage claim area. If you must pay duty and taxes, you can pay at most major airports while waiting for your luggage.

Once you’ve picked up your luggage:

go to the next CBSA checkpoint

show the officer your:

Declaration Card, Advance Declaration kiosk or eGate receipt

receipt, if you paid duty and taxes for your goods

The officer may direct you to a secondary inspection area.

Here, officers may ask you:

for detailed information about your travels

to present your luggage and goods for examination

This is a normal part of the travelling process. Your cooperation is appreciated and helps us ensure the safety of Canada, its economy and its residents.

By land

If you’re arriving by land, follow the signs to the first checkpoint, also called “primary inspection.” Here, a border services officer will examine your identification and other travel documents and take your verbal declaration.

Visit U.S. to Canada border wait times for estimated wait times at certain locations.

By private boat

If you’re arriving by private boat, go directly to a designated marine telephone reporting site and call the CBSA Telephone Reporting Centre (TRC) at 1-888-226-7277 to obtain clearance.

Private boaters that meet certain conditions may report to the CBSA by calling the TRC using cell phone from their location in Canadian waters.

Learn more about reporting requirements for private boaters.

Required identification

Make sure you carry proper identification for yourself and any children travelling with you to help confirm your legal right to enter Canada. Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), for certain international travellers who fly to Canada.

Read about the changes and how they may affect you.

The Government of Canada recommends that Canadian citizens travel with a valid Canadian passport because it’s the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document available to Canadians for the purpose of international travel.

International transportation companies such as airlines may require travellers to present a passport before boarding. Canadian citizens may face delays or may not be allowed to board the plane or other conveyance if they present other documents such as a:

Enhanced Driver's License (EDL)/Enhanced Identification Card (EIC)

NEXUS card (used where the program is available)

Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card used in FAST lanes

Canadian citizenship card

Certificate of Indian Status

Birth certificate in combination with either a driver's licence or a government-issued photo identification

Permanent residents

Permanent residents (immigrants living in Canada who are not yet Canadian citizens) need a valid permanent resident card to return to Canada. Check the expiry date on your card.

Note that a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship is not a travel document.

See Canadian Citizenship for further details.

Travelling with children

Parents who share custody of their children should bring copies of the legal custody documents to the border when travelling with their children.

A consent letter should be used for all cross-border travel when a child is travelling:

alone

with only 1 parent or guardian

in the care of friends or relatives

with a group, such as a sports, school, musical or religious group

Example of a consent letter to permit travel by a child with a single custodian or parent.

When travelling with a group of vehicles, parents or guardians should arrive at the border in the same vehicle as the children.

Adults who aren’t parents or guardians should have written permission from the parents or guardians to supervise the children. The consent letter should include addresses and telephone numbers where the parents or guardian can be reached.

Border officers watch for missing children, and may ask detailed questions about the children who are travelling with you.

You and the border services officer

You may occasionally find yourself going through a more detailed inspection. In some cases, this simply means that you may have to complete a form. In other cases, the border services officer will need to identify the goods you’re bringing into the country or examine your luggage.

Border services officers are legally entitled to examine your luggage as part of their responsibility to protect Canada's safety, economy and environment. You are responsible for opening, unpacking and repacking your luggage.

By making your goods easily accessible for inspection and having your receipts handy, you will be helping the CBSA to help you. It’s a good idea to keep all your receipts for accommodation and purchases, and for any repairs done to, or parts bought for, your vehicle. The border services officer may ask to see them as evidence of the length of your stay and of the value of the goods or repairs.

If you disagree with the amount of duty and taxes that you have to pay, please ask to speak with the CBSA superintendent on duty. A consultation can often resolve the issue quickly and without cost. If you’re still not satisfied, our officers can tell you how to make a formal appeal.

Border services officers may arrest an individual for an offence under the Criminal Code (for example, impaired driving, outstanding arrest warrants, stolen property, abductions/kidnappings) and for infractions under other acts of Parliament (for example, the Customs Act, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act).

If you’re arrested, you may be compelled to attend court in Canada. You should note that anyone arrested in Canada is protected by and will be treated in accordance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
