What Is a Potcake Dog?

If you are an animal lover, you may have heard the term “potcake dog” mentioned in animal rescue circles or online. But what exactly is a potcake dog and how did the term become popular? Keep reading to learn more about these adorable, adoptable mutts.

What Are Potcake Dogs?

Potcakes are mixed-breed dogs that are mainly found in the Caribbean – particularly on the islands of Turks & Caicos and the Bahamas. These dogs are called “potcakes” because residents used to feed the stray dogs overcooked remains caked at the bottom of the pot of traditional rice and pea dishes.

According to Elizabeth (Tip) Burrows, executive director of the Humane Society of Grand Bahama in Freeport, Bahamas, these dogs have smooth, short fur with very little or no undercoat. Shaggy or rough-coated potcakes are rare. They are recognized by their physical characteristics such as terrier-shaped faces with cocked ears and a hound-like rib cage.

The size of a potcake dog runs the gamut from 35 pounds to about 55 pounds, and they often stand about 24 inches high at the shoulder. However, Burrows has had several potcake dogs over the years that ranged from 30 to 100 pounds. A majority of potcakes are brown in color, but they also come in colors of white, cream, yellow, red and black and can have a brindle pattern. Despite the range of size and coloring, the Bahama’s Kennel Club recognizes the potcake as a breed.

According to Shirley Carroll, President of The Abaco Shelter in Abacos, Bahamas, the original Potcake used to look similar to Golden Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers. However, due to interbreeding, specifically with the Pit Bull terrier breed, who seem to be all the craze in the Bahamas, they are beginning to look like Pit Bull mixed dogs.

There are many stray dogs on the islands in the Caribbean. Each year, their number increases, leaving residents frustrated from having to deal with groups of dogs running around, turning over their garbage cans in search of food, and causing roadblocks and accidents.

However, these loving and loyal potcake dogs have become increasingly popular in the mainland United States and Canada. Rescues and shelters on the islands are working to help the potcake dog breed and rehome as many potcakes as possible with loving families, both on the islands as well as abroad.

Potcake Dog Temperament & Personality

“Potcakes are fantastic animals. They’re hearty. They’re loving. They’re loyal,” says Carroll, who currently has three potcakes and has fostered many in the past. “They all have different personalities, but the bottom line is they’re all very loyal. They can be stubborn at times, like most dogs, but they make great pets.”

A potcake’s temperament depends on the circumstances the dog comes from, says Burrows. “Some may be skittish and timid if they came from the bush or homes where they were not well socialized.” A stable home life, combined with basic training can help them become wonderful pets.

Potcake Dog Rescue Efforts

Rescues like the Abaco Shelter and the Humane Society of Grand Bahama are working tirelessly to help as many stray Bahamian potcake dogs as possible. The major effort undertaken is trying to get them out of the islands, as very few people adopt dogs on the islands.

Because of the logistics involved in the adoption process, rescue groups on the islands work with their counterparts in the United States and Canada, so the dogs have a safety net in the event the adoption falls through, as flying them back to the islands is not an option.

Some of the shelters and rescues the Abaco shelter works with include the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, Peggy Adams Big Dog Ranch, Suncoast Animal League, all in Florida and Mr. Bones & Co. in New York. However, dogs are placed in homes in many destinations, including Florida, the West Coast, and other U.S states as well as provinces in Canada.

Rescues on these islands rely on programs that help fly animals, and in the case of Abaco shelter, second-home owners often try to get the dogs to the U.S. mainland. They are typically flown to Florida where they are either placed in homes there or driven to other locations. The Humane Society of Grand Bahama works with both private pilots and groups such as Wings of Rescue.

On the ground, shelters and rescues try to educate the residents about the importance of spay and neutering, vaccinations and flea and tick medication. In the winter months, where there are more volunteers (snow birds who winter there), Abaco shelter runs free spay and neuter clinics. Volunteers also go to different areas to trap dogs and fix them. “If they’re unowned, and they’re adoptable, we will take them and try to get them adopted,” says Carroll.

Can I Adopt a Potcake Dog?

At this point, you are probably wondering about how to help these wonderful dogs. Adopting a potcake is certainly a great option. The best way to do this is by finding potcake dogs for adoption at a shelter/rescue in your area. You may also choose to help by working with a local rescue to foster a potcake dog until adoption. Some island rescues do adopt out to private individuals; however, this involves significant transportation costs.

Rescues in the islands are always in need of donations, especially monetary ones. “Shipping supplies can be costly for the receiving group due to freight and Customs charges and duties,” says Burrows.

Additionally, the next time you find yourself on an island near an animal shelter, offer to volunteer your time to interact with the dogs and/or take a puppy out for a beach outing. They’ll get to socialize, and you will take home lovely memories, if not an adorable dog.

What to stream this week: Usher, classic commercials and lots of puppies

LOS ANGELES

Usher’s first new solo album in eight years and the “Abbott Elementary” debuting its third season on ABC are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: Justin Hartley of “This is Us” debuts his new CBS series “Tracker,” Sony’s new multiplayer military shooter Helldivers 2 and Celine Song’s “Past Lives,” an achingly tender film about making peace with the choices that shape our lives.

— Celine Song’s “Past Lives” is an achingly tender film about making peace with the choices that shape our lives. Song’s directorial debut, which is nominated for best picture and best screenplay at the Academy Awards, is about a woman named Nora (Greta Lee) who, while married and living in New York, reconnects with a childhood friend (Teo Yoo) from Seoul. Though modest in scale, “Past Lives” gently reckons with existential quandaries that stretch across time and continents. In her review, AP’s Jocelyn Noveck called it “a gorgeous, achingly wistful feature debut.” Streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.

— The mind of Charlie Kaufman has produced some of the most memorable films (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “Synecdoch, New York”) of the last few decades. But even when Kaufman last scripted an animated film, (“Anomalisa”), you wouldn’t call the results child-friendly. But in “Orion and the Dark,” Kaufman adapts Emma Yarlett’s illustrated children’s book about a fifth-grader (voiced by Jacob Tremblay) who’s afraid of the dark, among other things. He’s forced to confront his fears when visited the actual Dark (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser). In his review, AP’s Mark Kennedy said director Sean Charmatz’s film “is about fear and overcoming … but has too much junk clogging up the vision.” Streaming on Netflix.

— Laura Chinn’s directorial debut “Suncoast,” which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, draws from Chinn's own experience growing up in Florida and caring for her ill brother. With a cast including Laura Linney and Woody Harrelson, newcomer Nico Parker stars as the high-schooler Doris in this coming-of-age drama. “Suncoast” streams Feb. 9 on Hulu.

— AP Film Writer Jake Coyle

— It may very well be Usher’s world, and we’re just living in it. From an incredibly successful Las Vegas residency to scoring the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show, the “Confessions” singer is experiencing a well-deserved influx of attention — from a new and curious audience as well as those filled with nostalgia for his smooth ’00s R&B. There’s more great news: on Friday, Feb. 9, just two days before he appears at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for Sin City’s inaugural Super Bowl, Usher will release “Coming Home,” his first new solo album in eight years. He hasn’t missed a beat — “Good Good,” the single with Summer Walker and 21 Savage — is silky summertime R&B with some Atlanta bounce — a winning combination. Elsewhere on the album, Usher joins forces with Burna Boy, Latto, The-Dream, H.E.R., BTS member Jungkook and Pheelz. “Stacked” is the word.

— Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson will release her fourth studio album, “Venus,” on Feb. 9 — an album full of shimmery synth-pop and Euro dance-pop that burns bright, hot and fast like a Saturday night. “On My Love” with EDM giant David Guetta proves it, but Larsson’s commitment to feel-good club bangers exists throughout: like on the strings of “End of Time,” which she said was inspired by Rihanna and ABBA in equal parts. Now that’s a combination.

— If you frequent indie music corners of the internet, you might’ve seen the shirts released by Helado Negro, the musical moniker of Roberto Carlos Lange, before you heard his music: “Young and Latin and Proud,” they read, a celebration of the South Florida native born to Ecuadorian immigrants’ identity, but also the identity of many of his listeners. It’s a great framework to consider Helado Negro’s latest album, “Phasor,” a day-dreamy collection of experimental pop (like on “Best For You and Me”), psych rock (“LFO (Lupe Finds Oliveros)”) and alternative rhythms and flutes (“I Just Want To Wake Up With You.”) It is a celebration of an incredible diversity of Latin music, including one that gets lost when listeners focus too closely on geography: atmospheric sounds.

— AP Music Writer Maria Sherman

— “Abbott Elementary” aired its season two finale last April and there are lingering questions that need answers. Can Janine and Gregory (series creator Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams) remain platonic after almost stepping outside the friend-zone on the field trip to the science museum? Did a summer at Harvard prompt Ava (Janelle James) to finally take her job as principal seriously? And will Mrs. Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph) finally learn that Brian Tyree Henry’s name is not Brian Austin Green? Answers may be revealed Wednesday when school is back in session and “Abbott Elementary” debuts season three on ABC. Episodes also stream on Hulu.

— Revisit popular Super Bowl ads from years past on “Super Bowl Greatest Commercials XXIII: The Ultimate Countdown,” on Wednesday on CBS. The show presents top commercials from over the years from brands including Budweiser, E-Trade and Coke. Hosts Boomer Esiason, the former NFL quarterback, and actor Danielle Ruah narrow down the competition to two finalists, and viewers can pick a winner by scanning a QR code on screen to vote live. The special will also stream on Paramount+.

— There’s a four-legged alternative to Super Bowl Sunday: Puppy Bowl XX. This year marks the Bowl’s 20th year and 131 adoptable pups have been drafted from shelters and rescues across the U.S. to compete. Teams Ruff and Fluff square off for the coveted “Lombarky” trophy while also encouraging people to adopt and not shop for pets. Puppy Bowl XX will simulcast on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, Discovery+, TBS, TRUTV, and MAX before the big human game on Sunday, Feb. 11.

— Great American Family also wants in on the call-to-adoption programming. Year two of the Great American Rescue Bowl will feature both dogs and cats -- all who have already been adopted — to highlight the kinds of pets you can find at a shelter or rescue instead of a store or breeder. The paw-some game between teams The Adorables and The Cuddlers begin at 12 p.m. also on Sunday, Feb. 11.

— Justin Hartley of “This is Us” debuts his new CBS series “Tracker” in the prime spot after Super Bowl LVIII. Based on the book “The Never Game” by Jeffery Deaver, Hartley plays Colter Shaw, a guy with a skill for tracking down the missing and all he asks for in return is reward money. In an interview, Hartley says he was itching to roam around outside after years of being in kitchens and living rooms for “This Is Us.”

— Alicia Rancilio

— Sony’s new multiplayer military shooter Helldivers 2 invites you to “wage war for peace” and “die for democracy.” If those slogans sound like something out of the 1997 satire “Starship Troopers,” wait until you see the enemy, a species of giant insects called terminids. You can join forces with up to three friends as elite soldiers defending “Super Earth” from the aliens — which, of course, is best accomplished by attacking the monsters on their home planets with a spectacular assortment of high-tech weaponry, from your basic laser rifle to massive bombs. If you find yourself cornered by an alien “bile spewer,” well, that’s your problem. The invasion launches Thursday on PlayStation 5 and PC.

— Lou Kesten

SunRunner begins charging fares due to complaints of homeless people

From October 2022 St Petersburg’s SunRunner ran free of charge, carrying passengers between downtown St Petersburg and St Pete Beach, but complaints about an influx in homeless people around St Pete Beach have led to the installment of a fare sooner than was originally expected.

Most of the complaints came from St Pete Beach residents who were concerned about this increase in the homeless population in the area and blamed the SunRunner for carrying homeless passengers to the beach from downtown. The air conditioning and power outlets provided on the bus made it possible to beat the intense Florida heat and charge electronic devices while you ride. Whether or not the SunRunner is definitively to blame for the increase in homeless, in the summer months the beach became a more popular spot for unhoused people to spend the night because it was cooler than downtown alternatives, although sleeping on the beach at night is illegal and violates trespassing laws.

In a meeting on August 23, Sheriff Bob Gaultieri said that the “homeless issues” began in March, and law enforcement was having to expend more resources in order to deal with problems such as public nudity when homeless individuals used the showers at the public beach accesses. Families were concerned for obvious reasons, and local law enforcement also came across instances of public urination and defecation. Residents also complained that they were being accosted at the Dolphin Plaza shopping center, which is across the street from a SunRunner stop at one of the main beach access parks. At September’s monthly Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) board meeting one St Pete Beach resident Jill Kashner said, “I'm afraid someone's gonna throw a molotov cocktail into my window,” despite a distinct lack of molotov cocktail incidents.

Calls for service at Dolphin Plaza increased from an average of 20 calls per week in 2022 to 127 per week the following year. “It was costing $10,000 a week to have deputies out there,” Gaultieri said at the August PSTA board meeting. At the same meeting he noted that since July 25 there had been 52 arrests issued, 132 trespass warnings and 32 ordinance violations.

PSTA’s Chief Executive Officer Brad Miller had proposed an immediate installment of fares only on the westbound stops where the bus was headed towards the beach. The proposal was struck down, however, because of its targeted nature. St Pete Beach City Commissioner Chris Marone blames the SunRunner for these issues as well. At a meeting on Aug 8 he said, “It’s the buses and who they’re bringing in, and the Sheriff said we cannot just pick these people up and drive them somewhere and drop them off. We're not allowed to do that. We can make their lives miserable.” St Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, however, opposed the implementation of a fare and said he even allocated money in the city’s 2024 budget to keep the SunRunner free of charge.

When the SunRunner began running city officials decided it would be free in order to encourage more use and help people get accustomed to the new route. There had always been a plan to begin charging fares in October 2023, but due to concerns about homeless people fares began a month early. Starting in September a ride costs $2.25 or you can pay $5 for a day pass and $70 for a one month pass. Students, youths, seniors and those with disabilities can pay half that. Groups of up to five people can get a day pass for $10 and children 8 or younger ride for free. Only contactless payment is accepted, no cash, which opponents of the fare installment such as the Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas say unfairly targets a specific group of people. Intrastate travel is protected under the Florida Constitution so some opponents of the change, including lawyers, have noted that the cashless fare is restrictive and discriminatory.

Of the approximately 100,000 riders the SunRunner carries per month, there is a significant number of riders who the fare poses a considerable financial burden on. People who have been utilizing the bus to get to jobs where they make minimum wage or to get to the grocery store and other errands will have to reconfigure an already tight budget to account for these new fares.

The Method To Connect A Single Phase Diesel Generator To A 3 Section Installation?

Site it indoors, where it would be quieter and decrease emitting than a diesel unit. Another means is to review your utility company statements of the prior yr and decide your peak demand, then add 25% as a reserve. Natural fuel is highly flamable and might explode if in a concentrated quantity and exposed to an ignition source or perhaps a spark. Natural fuel is also extraordinarily poisonous to inhale in vital portions. When your generator is connected, clear all particles from the house and enclose the generator in a means that is sensible on your local weather.

But as a result of turbines function in a singular setting where they aren’t used often every day, they have particular upkeep needs to maintain them working reliably if you want them. Once your generator installation or service is full, the last thing to be thought-about is the W E Electric, Generator Service Agreement. The purpose of this agreement generator installations is to alleviate you of the duty of recalling the precise annual service date in your generator as nicely as the necessity to name and schedule the service itself. There is not any monetary obligation up entrance and the settlement can be cancelled at any time. Upon enrollment in this system, A W E Electric consultant will merely contact you when it is time to perform the unit’s annual service.

Most buildings will incorporate these generators into their standard circuitry, which allows the turbines to solely activate throughout an outage and switch again off as quickly as grid power returns. Most buildings that want code-required emergency standby turbines may have them already put in. However, for the rationale that definition of “critical” systems varies by state and municipality, it may be a good idea to work with Suncoast Power to assess your compliance and make changes, if essential. If the diesel generator units installed on the shelf, the compensation facet of the pendulum motion when the unit startup and shutdown. Around the diesel generator sets must be sufficient space in order to facilitate the cooling of the unit, operation and upkeep, and so on. In general, no less than around 1 to 1.5 meters, the upper 1.5 to 2 meters or less, doesn't enable any other objects.

The authorities has applied targets to utilize green energy technologies to cut back dependency on fossil fuels. The adherence of the United States to exceed the required aims is more likely to hinder the market tempo. Furthermore, stringent norms launched by quite a few administrations to cut the utilization and emission of harmful substances from different sources might hinder the industry measurement. For instance, In July 2020, New York began the most important mixed solicitation for renewable energy issued by a U.S. state, producing a 4 G.W.

Keep in thoughts the generator is rated at 20kW when utilizing LP as the fuel source, and 18kW for natural gas. If you’re contemplating a generator installation, contact our group for an initial consultation. Our group can provide all kinds of generators, from preliminary design to put in, bringing our years of experience and consumer satisfaction to your project. As we’ve already stated, diesel generators diesel generator installation often require much less upkeep. However, to ensure protected, continuous and reliable operation, all types of generator will need sustaining once in a while. Whether a big power outage occurs at residence or at your place of work, this could be frustrating and inconvenient regardless of the circumstance.

I’ll always remember the gentleman who found a “great sale” on a standby generator for $1,900 at a giant field store. He bought the 7kW (that’s only 7,000 watts) generator, then referred to as us for a quote to install it. I requested him, “which circuits do you wish to power with your new generator? [newline]” He responded, “the whole house.” The man lives in a four,000 sq. foot home with three air conditioners. Needless to say, I had industrial generator installation to explain why the installation scenario he described would not work. We’re conserving energy the place attainable because, for budgetary constraints, we determined to have a 20kW air-cooled generator put in. The 20kW generator coupled with a 200-Amp Automatic Transfer Switch may be connected to all house circuits installed on a 200-Amp Load Center, making it a “whole house generator” for homes 2500 sq. feet and less.

You can alsocomplete our on-line contact formand a consultant shall be in touch with you shortly. Thankfully this 2018 hurricane season is predicted to be milder than final year's when Hurricane Irma left her mark on our Sunshine State. Irma set records with power outages affecting 3.9 million of Florida Power and Light's whole four.9 million prospects.

Tubing diameter ought to be more than 8mm, If the gasoline pipe length is larger than 6 meters, the diameter ought to be elevated more than 20%. The return pipe should be pulled again to the top of the tank shouldn't be directly related to the inlet pipe. After checking the MSB bus is lifeless , function “ACB CONTROL” swap generator installation for D/G 1 to close to place D/G 1 on the bus. After closure of the ACB, examine that the bus voltage and frequency are on the rated values, then close the necessary feeder and cargo circuit breakers. As the engine approaches the synchronous pace, the generator voltage builds as much as its rated voltage and “GEN RUN” lamp become on and brighter.

Sectors such as Healthcare and Data Management rely on fixed energy, which is why generator installation is a should, to make sure minimal downtime, ought to the principle energy source fail. A gasoline generator is a machinery that converts the chemical power in gasoline to electrical power. Gas is mostly used to energy emergency and transportable turbines and is the most affordable and efficient gas amongst non-renewable sources. Increasing natural fuel consumption, and therefore, exploration is projected to add to the segment landscape.

Florida: The perspective of not a retiree living a comfortable life Part 1: The environment

*cracks knuckles* Let's begin.

Florida: Known worldwide for its sunny beaches, fun places to vacation, wonderful tropical climate, beautiful wildlife and other things. The lightning capital of the world, the “Sunshine State” and honestly a paradise to some.

Before anyone throws a limestone rock or a ball made of sandspurs at me- let me tell you about myself briefly:

I am a girl born into a Hispanic-American family who lived in North Fort Myers for 18 years. Born and raised. My mother moved here from South America and my father from Michigan in the early 1980s. They both graduated from a local high school, the same one I went to, at a time when the area was starting to grow- there were small businesses all over. Not the safest place, but we managed. This state is the only home I have ever known and I love it dearly- but man... some people have really ruined a beautiful state home to some really beautiful wildlife.

Like the goodest water mooer - Manatee

In Fort Myers every winter, these adorable chubbubbles gather near the water treatment plant right off of the Caloosahatchee River to get some warm water and nom on some good grass nearby.

The biggest swamp kitten - Florida Panther

These precious pouncers have been around for a long time and if you ever visit the Everglades, you might get to see one.

The big ol’ snapsnap - American Crocodile

These smiley jumbo snappers can be found all throughout Florida and it is really cute to see them laying in the sun napping to sun themselves. Swimmy lizard boy can also go pretty fast on land ‘ww’

And even some plants too:

like the fuzzy minty flower - Conradina Glabra (Shinners)

and their droopy spotty cousin the Conradina Brevifola (False Rosemary)

But here’s the thing: All the species listed above are endangered and, thankfully, under federal protection since the passing of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 with the help of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA (the people who everyone remembers during hurricanes).

The reason these species are endangered includes a long history of land acquisition that boomed during the early 1900s. In other words: people saw that land in Florida was cheap and they could use it to start their businesses, so they started buying it all up.

Over time this had a major impact on the natural wildlife and messed with the delicate balance of the Everglades. Why don’t people shut up about the Everglades? Well not only is it a pretty neat place to visit, but its survival revolves around brackish water - a delicate combination of both fresh and salt water. The Everglades used to extend much farther up the state, but because of aforementioned reasons, it now rests in the tiny little area below Southwest Florida.

By the way, that first bump where that little blue line runs through? That is the Caloosahatchee River. The river that divides Fort Myers into the part that people care about (Fort Myers), and the part that nobody really cares about except its residents. My home town, North Fort Myers- but I’ll save that rant for another time

(Side note: If you search for SWFL in the Urban Dictionary, you will find the most accurate description of us I have ever heard)

Now let’s talk about the thing that everyone loves about Florida: The beaches

This topic hurts my heart to be honest.

So I know I provided information that is absolutely credible earlier- but for this section you will have to trust me and my narrative which I know is hard to do these days and you shouldn’t trust what people say on the internet unless its a credible source.

I used to go to Fort Myers Beach pretty often when I was little aka: the early 2000s. It was a pretty beautiful place and kinda like how everyone describes. We would go there for a bit, build some sand castles and grab some ice cream on the way home at, frankly, the -best- ice cream place in town- Love Boat. Quick intermission, if you are ever near Fort Myers Beach on San Carlos Blvd, check out Love Boat’s homemade ice cream! They’re a great local business you can support on your drive through!

Over the course of a few years, as people started to move to Fort Myers and go there for vacation more frequently as Miami started to grow its nasty reputation. So, like any popular beach- it started to become littered with trash and we couldn’t stay too long because of the strange and shady people that started to roam there after dark, so we migrated to Naples beach until it started to get littered and shady over there too. Sure enough, over the years, stories started to pour in of crime and environmental damage to the beach:

2018 News alone:

83 y/o man murders woman and then commits suicide in FMB

A woman kills a friend in FMB after murdering her husband in Minnesota

Fatal two-car hit and run in FMB

don’t even get me started with the drug busts

Polluted runoff from storm drains is increasing

The longest wave of Red Tide began in October and is now causing the death of hundreds of animals along the coast of SWFL

Granted, these days the counties have arranged annual beach cleanups and smaller organizations including school clubs, scout troops, and nonprofit organizations are doing events like this throughout the year. I haven’t been to either beach in a few years and can’t vouch for what they look like now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s “good enough”. We, the citizens of Southwest Florida and you, the tourists from other places need to keep up after yourselves and others around you because let’s be honest there will always be those people who won’t and help protect and restore our lovely local beaches.

- Fort Myers Beach

-Naples Beach

-Captiva Island

-Cayo Costa State Park

As one last note, I can safely bet that a lot of people don’t know about Lake Okeechobee. Yes, that big blue spot in the middle of Florida. Our biggest lake from where all of South Florida’s water flows.

Good old Lake O.

“What about this lake is so important that you had to include it”, you may ask. Remember the map from earlier? The one that showed how the water used to flow into the Gulf?

This is one of the dams that regulates the flow of water to south Florida. It’s one of the prettier pictures that tends to obscure an ugly truth:

Lake Okeechobee has been polluted for years by chemical runoff from agricultural crops and it hasn’t stopped. In 2016 it got to the point where an algae bloom was so bad that it killed of hundreds of creatures living in the Lake.

In fact, there is a dead zone that has formed in the lake and it kinda works like this:

What frustrates me is that in order for change to happen, political figures must get involved, which I will rant about next time because recently our government discussed setting aside $10.5 million to help restore the lake and repair a rotting dike over the next 20 years- but due to politicians not agreeing, this portion of the budget has slowly disappeared from discussions in the Florida legislature.

Read more about this frustrating situation here in a report by the Weather Channel.

Next time on Rant by a Florida-Grown Teen who is fed up With a lot of Things and can’t Sleep: We will tackle the mess that is the Florida Government, and specifically the trainwreck that makes every idiot jealous: Lee County.

How Social Media Infected the Glory Pro Circle #3

(or Conversations Most of the Glory Pro Community Would Like to Forget Existed)

[King’s Avatar /全职高手 - 蝴蝶蓝 | Quánzhí Gāoshǒu - Húdié Lán ]

Next Chapter | Previous Chapter

Read on AO3

Summary: Or Ye Xiu is forced to deal with his fans. No one saw what was coming next.Because the alliance wants more exposure (i.e. fame) for the pro gamers, all pros are mandated to respond to questions from the fans.Naturally, this leads to some…strange conversations and some stranger answers. Likely will lead into AU TKA UniversePart Story, and TKA fun. Will include some social media.

Chapter #3: When Ye Qiu (The Real One) Reads

XXxxxxxXX

The familiar cadence of Glory keyboard inputs echoed throughout the room. There was a lull in activity as everyone waited for the next scheduled dungeon raid to happen or for a wild boss to appear. Some members were doing light exercises, some were napping, while others were just surfing the net, and others were eating some snacks. There were quite a few members of the guild gathered in the room, but most of them were around one computer. They had odd looks on their faces as they glanced back and forth between the screen and Ye Xiu but none of them said a word to the person in question.

While most in Excellent Era knew about Ye Xiu's AMA, few beyond the core team had spoken to him about it. To most members of Excellent Era, Ye Xiu was an existence that was beyond all of them. Seasoned and renowned as the current champion, few dared to interact with him feeling themselves unworthy of his presence. Normal staff in the building had rarely even spoken a word to him, and although no one had said they needed to read his AMA on Reddit many of them found themselves drawn to the page wondering perhaps if they might finally be able to glimpse something of their resident god.

To their collective shock and laughter, Ye Qiu was so completely different then many of them had imagined. Where they had once seen cold arrogance, and disregard, many of them began to realize that Ye Qiu was simply very blunt and perhaps somewhat out of touch of social interactions. Yes, he was blunter then many of them were accustomed to but that didn't mean he wasn't kind. Little by little stories were being shared of deeds he had done for others, either secretly or directly for other people. There had been rumors before, but because no one had come out and said anything. People were coming out and telling stories about Ye Qiu reaching out and helping people. Former pros had even chimed in, telling stories of him lending them money to get back on their feet, stories of him cleaning up training rooms, and buying food for some of the poorer trainees.

Ye Qiu was becoming more real and human in a way many of the staff had forgotten. Ye Qiu was no longer some untouchable god and to many that comforted them. Ye Qiu may have won championships, but that didn't mean he thought himself better than them. He cared about the people of Excellent Era beyond winning trophies.

(When Ye Qiu asked to play Glory with the janitor of Excellent Era a few days later, no one said anything, but it was clear from the atmosphere in the room that the tone of Excellent Era had shifted.)

Yin Ming was an up and coming hire to Excellent Era's Research and Development Department yet despite being new she was well connected. Hiding a smirk, she glanced around the office beside her, and at some of her coworkers, thankfully there was no one else in the room. Yet even from her position at the back of the room, she could see that most of her coworkers were all looking at the same page. She did not doubt that they were reading on the latest newsletter but just to be sure she sure that no one could see her computer screen she moved her desk a few inches to the right. At the current angle, she was at it was impossible to see her computer screen from the door but just in case she made sure that Guan Rongfei was still working in front of the room so even if someone from administration tried to entered they'd only the disaster that was Guan Rongfei and retreat.

Smiling, Yin Ming took a seat at her desk and switched on her computer. She clicked into her email and looking over her inbox she searched through her mail. After a tense five minutes of searching and wondering if perhaps she hadn’t been sent the most recent copy, she finally stumbled upon what she was looking for. Clicking on it, she got comfortable in her chair to read the current gossip.

📎1 attachment

Praise me, everyone, on the internet, for I have the news!

Check it out! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Ye Qiu is at it again.

Last week he brought little Mucheng some breakfast and nearly all the trainees had a heart attack. It was glorious.

I know most of the readers are like, “Why is this important?" Well, to all my readers here’s the reason why. He stayed for a few hours teaching all the trainees and no one knew who he was. Because no one has seen him without his mask on but still. He smiled and was like “I’m a little good at this game” as if the captain of a three times winning team is only a little good. Anyways he then proceeded to defeat everyone once and then spent like twenty minutes going over their matches to help them improve.

That's when Yao Wang appeared (late as always!) and he was not pleased about Ye Qiu's presence, but not for the right reasons. He started going off on Ye Qiu about how he was going to ruin the trainees’ careers with his careless advice and Ye Qiu just stood there blinking. It was like he blue screened out of pure confusion.[1] And then guess who walks into the room but Wu Xuefeng himself.

Wu Xuefeng takes one look at the situation and at Yao Wang trying and failing to tear to Ye Qiu to bits before he calmly steps in between the pair and says quite calmly that “Ye Qiu would never give bad advice to anyone playing Glory” and the entire room goes silent. Because if the vice-captain of Excellent Era says that the young teen behind him is indeed Ye Qiu, no one is going to says he's wrong. And that just makes it worse because it's Ye Qiu the resident God of Excellent Era.

Yao Wang looks like he swallowed a lemon (good, that man deserves it. He's so sexist that everyone, including the guys, hates him anyway) and walks out of the room runs away and Wu Xuefeng makes a couple calls before manager Shaolin Tao appears and apologizes for the trouble because obviously someone messed up if no one knows what their resident god looks like.

But the most surprising part has yet to be revealed!

As Ye Qiu walked out of the room, he turns to tell Shaolin Tao that the AC would get fixed later that day. (I don't think I need to remind everyone about that damn AC in the lower half of the building that hasn’t gotten fixed in so long and that upper management refused to believe that it needed to be repaired.) Shaolin Tao nearly looked like he wanted to vanish into the floor. Because it was just so embarrassing and the old man had just resigned himself to the fact that the AC might not get fixed in time for summer, and here comes Ye Qiu and he's all like "this is a problem" and does something about it.

But it gets even juicer.

Ye Qiu paid for the repairs himself like it was no big deal.

I've attached the receipt as proof (the same one that was submitted to Tao Xuan later as evidence) in case there are doubters. (I've blocked out all the sensitive information but the signature is no lie.)

Comments:

KumoCloudEE: Boss Tao did reimburse YQ for the repairs if I'm not mistaken. But he was pretty upset that it was an issue for some reason. 😕😕😕😕😕 Whatever the rest of this was cool.

FanningCameraRD: This is the kind of content I needed in my life. YQ being all "baam this going to change" is like the best thing ever.

SquareDukeEE: I will admit I used to think YQ was some kind of an arrogant jerk, but I can't help but think he's just an awkward turtle. But his gameplay is completely fox-like though.

ChalkydeclareRD: YQ being a fox is something I could totally see. How dare you do this to me upstairs.

CandycreamSeekerEE: Hey, PR department got an idea I think you should hear. ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️

HawkStarryTrainee: Um, so just how did this whole thing lead to Yao Wang being fired??? I wasn't present for that part.

TiktokDropEE:⭐ Well, here's the general outline. I heard it from one of the building maintenance dudes. Apparently, after the mess that went down in the Training Camp Room #1, Wu Xuefeng paid a visit to Tao Xuan and had a rather pointed conversation. It was serious enough to get a bunch of pencil pushers to gather up some paperwork because immediately after that a group of secretaries and IT people were called into the room. Something about misfiled paperwork???? I don't know. But afterward, Yao Wang left with his stuff and he was sooooo angry. ⭐ [Comment has been starred.]

CranberryCookieSD: The paperwork in question was trainee results. I think it was wrong somehow? I'm not sure. I don't play Glory enough to understand what apm and so on means.

PersonaClueEE: It was trainee paperwork. Normally it was always signed off by Yao Wang and then submitted to Shaolin Tao for record-keeping. So if it was wrong in any way it affects Excellent Era's team placement, advancement, and contracts. If I had to guess Yao Wang may have been either inflating or deflating results, perhaps even going so far as completely lying on the forms. It's hard to tell.

EvaTreeTeaEE: Then that explains it.

BohrPieEE: Someone please connect the dots because I am so lost.

EvaTreeTeaEE: 🌟 Alright, so here's the full story near as I can tell. YQ goes to Training Room #1 for whatever reason, and Yao Wang appears and starts yelling at him. Then WXF enters and stops the yelling making Yao Wang leave. Then either because of this or in addition to this WXF goes to Boss Tao and tries to figure out how such a huge mistake happened i.e. Yao Wang not recognize YQ and the AC was broken and somehow no one knew. So paperwork is brought out to figure out who messed up and throughout this, it is discovered that Yao Wang was slanting all the trainees in some form. I'm assuming he was downplaying female players (considering his attitude) or was maybe inflating the performance of the male trainees, either way, it comes out and now everything needs to re-evaluated and its a huge mess. So quite a few people probably got in trouble because they were supposed to be checking on this sort of thing, and the fact that nothing was done probably has made upper management SUPER angry. I don't know if this will lead to other people being fired but so far Yao Wang was the only person fired, and as far as most of us care that makes the workplace 3000% better. He was a total sexist jerk. Whatever, this is as near as I can guess but there was probably more we don't know because of privacy/reputation reasons. 🌟 [Comment has been super starred.]

DaybreakFrontlineEE: Wow nice analysis! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

DDDLeeEE: Can confirm that no one else is going to get fired, but a few people were demoted/paycheck cut.

satisfactionstirringEE: Wow what a mess.

variedkioskEE: +1

To say that Ye Qiu, brother of Ye Xiu knew nothing of games, would be a lie but unlike his brother who was a professional gamer, but Ye Qiu himself knew little.

When the brothers were younger and still living together, they often played together huddled around a small Gameboy from one of their trips to Japan. They didn't have many games for it even then, but it was one of the rare times they did anything together before the demands of their parents were too heavy. So Ye Qiu while not an expert in gaming knew a little bit about the world his brother worked in.

Typing in the name 'Glory' into the search bar, Ye Qiu was a little shocked to see how many results came up. Thinking for a second, he typed in his name and the word 'Glory' to the search bar and sat in to read. As his day off there was little to interrupt him, and considering he had given his secretary the day off, he was a little reluctant to bother her.

At least not yet.

Though depending on what he found out he may change his mind.

Scrolling down on some Wikipedia pages for his brother (because it had to be his stupid brother considering the characters used for the name) Ye Qiu read carefully about his brother. While he knew that his brother was famous he had little idea what being a professional gamer meant. He had had no idea that game could generate income and considering his brother was considered the top player there was little reason he shouldn't be earning top dollar.

Reading to the bottom of the page, Ye Qiu was surprised to see several new links attached to the page.

Clicking into them Ye Qiu was quiet for several minutes before his face went red and he moved passed some of the utter nonsense his brother had written. He just couldn't believe how ridiculous his brother was. As it was, Ye Qiu was seeing quite a few references to himself and their family however vague they might be to everyone else in the world.

Any other stranger might not be able to understand what his brother was getting at, but seeing some of his brother's response was a little embarrassing, Ye Qiu clicked off to the side inadvertently clicking open a comments section before he froze.

There were some usernames he recognized in the comments section and knowing the rest of his family, Ye Qiu was almost afraid to connect the dots on what he was thinking.

Reaching for his phone, Ye Qiu moved off of the chat between him and his brother and moved into the general family chat and typed in a single question. While he waited impatiently for the reply, Ye Qiu could help but think he was wrong and his suspicions were just the result of an overactive imagination, but at he stared at the letters in black and white he couldn't convince himself otherwise.

And then the reply came, and Ye Qiu groaned.

Of course, he was right.

Moving back into the chat with his brother Ye Qiu typed out eight words. His face moving through different emotions before he reached for his laptop and typed out a rather long email to his secretary.

What a mess.

Their parents were not going to be happy when this finally came out.

LastManStanding4all: This makes me want to play Glory all over from the beginning just so I can see what I've messed.

AllergictoSecrets: This feeling I know well.

OneSnowFlake: you and everyone else

SodaOne: Ye Qiu's perspective on everything is just so interesting! And so detailed!

BugLane: YQ does things like this and my mind is just so...blown. He's just so sfjsdlandalskdn. Like, read the end of page one and just that level of sass. "If you hate dying or are not escaping your rivals then don’t jump off the bridge. There is nothing to be found in the mountain's shadow. I've checked personally. Multiple times."

SkynnyFriend: Adding another for your viewing pleasure "The game's gravity mechanics are still a work in progress in this area so if you are a witch or warlock, do not fly. If you want to know specifics ask Wei Chen."

VulpinThief: my favorite "Create a character you like and are not embarrassed to be known by. You don't want to be 'Naked SuMu'."

Author’s Notes:

General EE Staff @ Current is a mix of the following: YQ is sassy and a lot more down to earth then we thought. He is funny/awkward/and asdfdgdfgfdfg. Thank you for existing YQ our lives are better because Yao Wang is gone.

EE Team @ Current: The captain is very clueless about social things like fanfiction and we must never tell him about the depravity of fans or else we will all suffer. Also, dodge practice sucks, and WXF may have a shit list of rival players he may want to have a talk to and we know nothing.

1:YX really didn't know who Yao Wang was because he had never seen him before, so he was trying to figure out who he was.

So not a whole lot of YX stuff, but lots of information about things changing among the people of EE. I read over what I could of the wiki and the light novel but there's nothing about when the training camps got started or anything so much of this was just head cannon because I don't know.

Strangely enough, I had most of this chapter written since the middle of January but it still didn't feel right and finally after countless editing and so on I am just throwing in the towel. I'll come back to this particular chapter and probably edit it some more. Maybe.
