Friday came around too quickly for Niko's liking.
Before she knew it, she was shutting up the bookstore and speeding off towards her flat to get ready for the performance of a lifetime. Thinking about that alone made her shudder in nervous anticipation, made her heart beat erratically and palms sweat uncontrollably the closer she got to her place and ultimately, the performance.
Usually Niko was excited to perform.
She loved being on stage. She loved being in front of a crowd, allowing herself to get lost in the on-stage persona she had perfected over the years. It would make her feel alive, get her heart racing, blood pumping. It was an exhilaration that no amount of drugs or alcohol could rival. Something that just felt right.
But tonight, she was dreading it.
So much rested on this one performance and the pressures that brought filled the blonde with a heavy trepidation. It frightened her to know that if this went wrong, then it would more than likely be the end. The endof her dream. The end of their dream.
A dream that Niko had been more than willing to give up on, only weeks ago. To quit music all together, quit the tireless trying of it all and lead a boring life.
But now, with this opportunity, her dream had become her sole purpose in life once again, just like it had been all those years ago. It gave her a new incentive, a new vigour and she wasn't going to give up on it that easily. Although it didn't go as far as giving her a spring in her step or flip her melancholy on its head, this opportunity gave her a new sense of hope, a hope that she so desperately needed and wanted to revel in.
That didn't mean she wasn't nervous though. Because she was.
If anything, she was terrified.
The band had worked tirelessly over the years to even get to this position. Travelling to perform in the small corners of their home country just to get, night after night, weekend after weekend, earning little to no money, but in the hopes that someone, anyone, would recognise their potential. And Niko did not want to be the one that let them down when they finally it. She did not want to be the one that squandered this amazing opportunity for them, just because you froze under the pressure.
Although the blonde had never been one to do such thing, even when the spotlight rained down on her and only her, even when she was the only one the crowd could hear, the heavy weight of expectations on her shoulders made her mind reel with the possibilities of it happening.
And that scared her even more.
What if she forgot her cue? What if she hit the wrong note? What if she forgot the lyrics?
It would more than likely ruin their chances, and Niko didn't believe she could cope with that.
But they were the "what if's" and Niko was determined for them to remain just that. Even if the prospect of their performance being filmed intimidated her, knowing who would be judging it, she had to remove those thoughts from her muddled mind and just be herself.
Something that was easier said than done.
By the time her inner worries had settled, Niko had already made it to her flat. The usual fifteen minute walk feeling more like five in her befuddled state.
Pushing the door to her apartment open, or rather barging into it until it would let her in, the blonde had began the countdown to the inevitable.
The band had agreed to be ready for pick up at 6:30pm, which had given her an hour to get ready. Enough time for some to get ready but when you were as nervous and as messy as Niko was, coupled with her inability to time keep, it wasn't much time at all.
Upon her arrival, she had trudged her way through her tiny flat after removing her shoes and made a bee-line to the shower to try and relax collect her thoughts. A feat that had taken longer, way longer, than expected having effectively lost herself in the droplets of hot water mindlessly numbing her body.
Which led to her running late. Surprise, surprise.
But not late enough that she did not have time to stand in front of her mirror that was resting against the wall of her small living room, and silently praise herself for her unintentional, panic chosen outfit of choice.
A sheer white flared sleeve shirt with a white lace bralette underneath, a tight black silk split side skirt that sat half way up her thigh, allowing her tattooed legs to show and a pair of zipped Doc Martens which had seen better days, but they were comfortable nonetheless.
Maybe I should get dressed in a rush more, she mused, running her fingertips through her short curled blonde locks, some of which was tied up into a half ponytail, as to not get her face while she was performing.
With the final touch up to her make up; a simple smokey look with dark eyeliner and matte black lipstick, Niko stood back and admired her appearance with a small smile on her lips. She felt comfortable but most importantly, confident. And that was a first. She felt and arguably, looked hot. Something she wouldn't usually associate with herself, but as she ran her hand across the silky material that covered her curves, she couldn't help but feel happy.
However, given her poor time management skills, the blonde wasn't given long to admire herself as the sound of a car horn being aggressively beeped from outside, snapped her back to the present. Her head whipped to the open window in fright, not sure if to approach it to see what or rather who was making all the noise, and thankfully, she didn't need to as a loud, but recognisable voice rang out;
"Niko, come on let's go!" The unmistakable voice of CJ's screamed from outside. It was loud enough to wake up the whole neighbourhood, not just her.
Instead of replying, Niko just rolled her eyes at her friends dramatic and silently began to gather everything she needed for the night ahead. Set list, lyric book, guitar... the blonde ticked her mental list one by one before drifting off as her eyes landed on something laying dormant on the side; a perfectly rolled, untouched joint.
She was confused why it was there, having thought she had already smoked it before her shift at the bookstore this afternoon. Yes yes, getting high on the job wasn't very professional, but it allowed her to deal with the boringness of sitting around and doing fuck all for eight hours.
But she must have forgotten to and now it piqued her interest. She contemplated for a few moments if it would be a good idea to take it with her or not, and although she knew the answer was a definitely a not, the blonde couldn't help but think that tonight, maybe, she needed it. She wasn't one to get high before she went on stage, instead leaving the buzz of the crowd and the vibrations of their music to do the job, but at this point, she was convinced that it may help calm her nerves.
"Niko come on we haven't got all day!" Another scream came from downstairs, catching the blonde's attentions away from her indecisiveness.
This time it was Larry who had made a her unintentionally roll her eyes but given that they did have somewhere to be, Niko picked up her guitar case and headed out the door towards the inevitable. Not before grabbing the small rolled joint off the side though. Y'know, just in case..
"Oh! You look stunnin' hun!" Larry cooed as Niko finally joined the rest of the band outside her flat. Niko smiled at the man's words, performing a little twirl for him before he brought her into a hug and pecked her flushed cheek. "You're gonna blow their socks off tonight." He whispered supportively.
Now, Niko wasn't usually one for taking compliments, she was usually the kind of person that would shy away from such things and rather fade into the background. But tonight she was feeling particularly confident in her appearance so she thanked her friend with a small smile and handed over her guitar to put into the car's boot before getting into the already occupied car.
Niko was always thankful that Larry was so supportive of their dreams and would offer to drive them to gigs whenever he could. He had given up a lot of time on his evenings and weekends to help them reach this point and Niko knew she and the rest of the girls owed a lot to him if they ever made it into the big leagues.
If.
Exchanging small hellos with her bandmates as Niko climbed into the vehicle, she could instantly feel air change around her, one filled with trepidation. And although the blonde was confident in herself, she still couldn't help feeling the same way. This was a big night after all.
Thank god I wasn't the only one, Niko sighed in relief, and strapped herself in, suddenly becoming too nervous to speak another word.
"Ready?" Larry asked the collective as he jumped into the driver's seat, receiving small nods of approval before he set off on the road to their latest and most important gig to date.
The car journey wouldn't be a long one. Where they were performing was relatively close but the Friday night traffic in Cardiff was a nightmare to navigate making the trip longer than usual. The car was filled with a quiet nervousness the whole drive there, only slightly lessened by the sound of the radio playing.
Larry was doing his best to make the girls laugh or strike up a conversation on anything other than what lay ahead but after a while they fell silent. He could tell how much this meant to them, and could understand why they all felt so nervous, knowing that this could change their lives forever. He also knew how badly they wanted it, to do something that mattered to them, to be somebody in a world of nobodies, and he wanted it for them too.
Even CJ was quiet, which was a surprise to everyone. Usually she would be chatting their ears off to the point where she needed to be told to shut it. That was not the case tonight, evidently.
However, after a long while of nothing but radio silence, CJ couldn't take it anymore, and had to fill the silence somehow. And that was with her voice; "I think we should perform one of their songs." She whispered to Niko, sat in front of her. "Y'know get in their good books."
Niko had been staring out the window, watching the traffic fly by and the shimmering lights of the city, but now that aimless staring to keep herself calm had been replaced by fear.
"What? No no no, tha's a terrible idea." She whispered back with wide eyes. Though in the silence of the car, everyone could hear them as they began to bicker. "Just stick to what we know, C."
CJ frowned, not expecting that response of her friends reluctance. Of course, she could hear the shakiness in her voice as she spoke, and knew she was nervous, don't blame her, so was I, but the drummer was convinced this was a good idea. "No Nik, I think this is something we need to do."
Though Niko just shook her head, eyes falling to her clammy hands in her lap.
"We've performed their songs before." CJ pressed further. She knew it probably sounded like a corny suggestion to perform a song of the band that they would be potentially going on tour with, but the brunette was convince that covering one of them would help them in the long run.
"Not for years." Niko responded with an uncomfortable gulp.
It was a bad idea. To cover a song of the band that were going to be watching their performance and ultimately judging them, didn't sit right with Niko. It almost felt insulting to do so, to destroy a much loved song of theirs just to "get in their good books". It just seemed wrong, and the more she was thinking about it, the more the confidence she had built up was starting to dwindle.
"But we know the lyrics, the notes, timings..." CJ persisted, her arms now resting on the back of the seat that Niko occupied in front of her.
Niko remained silent, staring at her sweating palms as they writhed in her lap at the idea. Though her continued silence seemed to be CJ's cue to continue to pester the blonde to agree. "I think we should do Mardy Bum." No response. "Our version." She added and pursed her lips for a reaction. One she got, finally.
The muttering of those words finally snapped the blonde's head to her friend seated behind her, her eyes triggered with fright and head shaking. "That's a bad idea."
CJ chuckled at her reaction, pushing herself back into her seat. "Nah it's not; our version is great." She pointedly said with a cross of her arms. Niko again shook her head, making CJ roll her eyes, tapping the person next to her involved in the conversation. "Vi, tell her."
Glancing up from her phone that she had tried to preoccupy herself with, Viola glanced between the two expectant eyes of her friends and sighed; "I do think it would be good to do, Niko." She reluctantly agreed with the drummer, much to Niko's dismay. Really? "Your voice always sounds beautiful when you do tha' song." The bassist added sweetly.
Niko, however, was having none of it and instead turned back to face the front, electing to stay silent on the matter. But, of course, CJ continued.
"Come on Nikola..." The brunette cooed her actual first name coaxingly, grabbing her shoulders and giving them a small shake from behind.
That did not help. Instead, it just made things worse, it made Niko close her eyes, pained by the sound of her real name being used to guilt trip her into giving in. She didn't want the lingering grief that the call of her name held to add to the nervousness she was already developing, but she guessed it was too late for that now.
Niko hated her real name. She hated hearing it being used in any context, having tried years to get the name to die along with her past. But being friends with CJ since she was young meant that the woman knew everything about her, including all her baggage and the drummer knew the call of her birth name would provoke the blonde.
And provoke her it did, but not in a good way. All the horrible memories of her past came flooding back with the simple call; the hatred, the heartache, the longing of what was lost, all now at the forefront of her mind and that was something she did not need to be burdened with right now. Especially when it came to one thing, one name, his name; Papa.
Her heart ached just thinking about him. It ached to think about how proud he would have been of her if he was still here today, even if her life had become a misery. He had died when she was seven in a car crash, and since then Niko had never been the same bubbly little girl she was before his death. She never really smiled after that, and she didn't really speak about him either, the pain too much to handle.
He was just a bad memory she'd tried hard to forget, of the life she had willingly given up.
Feeling the rush of grief taking over her, Niko grabbed the one part of him she still had wrapped around her neck and held it in her grip tightly. Trying to push back down the melancholic grief that her memories held with steady breaths was working, that was until CJ opened her mouth again;
"Don't make me use your full name Niko--" CJ sang into her ear.
"Alright, fine." Niko caved, shuddering at the thought of hearing it again and what memories it would provoke. "We'll do Mardy Bum."
"Yes!" CJ cheered happily behind her, falling back into her seat with a happy smile on her face. "This is gonna be amazing."
─────────────────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────────────────
The drive didn't take much longer after that dreadful conversation and before they knew it, Larry was pulling up to the venue they were performing at, aptly named 'The Globe' -- something the band dreamt of taking over.
It was a small concert venue that held about two hundred on a good night and given the lineup of local bands listed to perform, it was hopefully going to be just that.
The trio silently piled out of the car one by one, their eyes fixated on the venue in front of them already filled the crisp Welsh night with the unmissable sound of booming music and laughter. It was early November after all, and Welsh winters were bitterly cold, just with more rain and less snow.
But it seemed that they didn't have much time to focus on the weather as, as they began to collect their instruments, they heard a voice behind them.
"Are you High Priestess?" The voice asked curiously, gathering their attention.
Turning to its direction, they saw a man that looked to be in his late-20's staring back at them with furrowed brows poking over a pair of thick glasses.
"Yes we are!" CJ spoke up happily, always too confident for her own good as she challenged the mans question with her own. "...and you are?" She raised an eyebrow, awaiting an answer.
The man, who remained nameless in those moments, had just tucked his phone into his trouser pocket and was now staring at the four of them with a smile on his face. "Oh apologies, I'm Jay, I'm the representative the label sent." Jay held his hand out for them to shake, and with a little hesitation, the four did just that.
"I have to say, I absolutely loved your demo and the guys did too." He added, trying to keep the conversation going as they got back to collecting their equipment.
Though that once again stopped their actions and within seconds he had four pairs of eyes curiously staring at him
"The 'guys'?" A short blonde asked with a very abrupt tone. One that earned a warning stare from the black haired woman next to her.
"Oh yeah the band, y'know the Arctic Monkeys." Jay responded happily.
He was still beaming with pride that he was the one that had put this band on the list to begin with and had insisted he be the one that came and watched them perform. Of course, James had agreed, mostly because he thought he was punishing him for the little stunt he had pulled by putting them there in the first place. But for Jay, it was a journey he happily made, after all, he liked the band, and their sound.
"They were excited by your sound." Jay added but didn't really receive an answer. They were all just staring at each other, maybe in disbelief or excitement, he couldn't really tell.
Were they always this quiet? The assistant pondered curiously before changing the subject to something he'd neglected to ask so far; their names. "Anyway, names... what are your names? And the instrument you play, that would probably be a good start." He let out a nervous chuckle.
It wasn't the first time he had done this but it was the first time he'd actually enjoyed the band he was going to scout. They looked different from what he had imagined and what they had sounded like but looks aren't everything right? And as the old saying goes "don't judge a book by its cover".
The first to speak up was the confident brunette who had questioned his appearance. "Oh well I'm Cleo or CJ. I - obviously - am the drummer and I also do vocals." She smiled, gesturing to the drumsticks she was holding in her hands.
Jay nodded a smile at the drummer before a long haired blonde spoke up. "I'm Viola, I play bass." Her voice was sweet and innocent just as the wave that she gave him.
With another small nod and reciprocated smile, Jay turned to the shorter blonde, who stood with her back against the car and guitar case in her hand. "And?" He pushed as he was met with a blank stare.
"Niko." She said plainly, her face not moving from the cold reception it was giving him. "Lead singer and guitarist."
Straight to the point, Jay smirked internally. It seemed like a lead singer kind of attitude to have, though he didn't want to judge. Maybe she was just nervous.
Jay then turned his attention to the man that had accompanied the trio of women, awaiting a name. "I'm Larry... I'm not in the band, I just kinda play keyboard when they need me and lug all their shit 'round." He chuckled.
Jay nodded and noted the small creeping smile at Larry's comment onto Niko's face. So she does smile, just not often.
"Well it's nice to meet you all, I'm excited to see what you got tonight." He smiled, not able to stop doing so. He wasn't lying, he was excited to see them perform, having only ever listened to their demo, like twelve times. "Uh, did you 'ave a manager I can speak with?" He questioned the group, remembering what James had told him. Find the manager, tell him the process, and don't fuck it up.
Larry chuckled at the question as the girls all collectively stared at each other. No, was the answer. Though it was an answer that all of them were too afraid to admit to this "Jay" guy. They didn't have a manager, they were their manager. Though Larry's chuckle quickly died down and the smile on his lips replaced by a tight line when he noticed all three women staring at him. Initially he shook his head, slight enough for just them to see, but when the stares intensified, especially from CJ, he caved.
Oh for fucks sake. "I guess... me?" Larry coughed out.
"Great," Jay smiled brightly. "I just 'ave a few things I want to discuss with you about the process and then I'll leave you a lot to get ready for your gig." The assistant added and grabbed Larry by the arm, leading him towards the venue for a discussion.
Before he was making his way there with the man, Larry turned around and gave the girls an angry eyed stare, making a mental note to kill them for it later.
Instead of being intimated, however, the women just giggled and waved him away, as they collected the final piece of the equipment they needed.
"He was cute." Viola happily hummed as she closed the boot of Larry's car.
Though her quip only made the drummer scoff in confusion. "Really?"
The leggy blonde turned towards the disgusted brunette with wide eyes. "What? He was!" She knew why CJ wouldn't think he was, but there was no harm admitting finding someone attractive, like Jay. "Right Nik?"
Niko was still leaning against the side of her car, watching Larry and this Jay guy with squinted eyes, trying to discern what they were talking about but they were too far out of earshot.
She shrugged at Viola's question nonetheless. She didn't really want to be dragged into this conversation but here she was. "He looks more like a man that plays video games in his mam's basement than works for a record label, Vi." Her grumbled grimace earning her a cackle from CJ who had begun to make her way to the venue's side entrance.
Viola rolled her eyes at Niko's comment. "He was still cute, though." The bassist pointed to her with a smile and began following close behind the drummer, but stopped when she saw Niko's unmoving figure. "Come on." She encouraged but the singer just stayed rooted to the spot, shaking her head.
That was enough to grab CJ's attention. "Niko! Come on!" She barked like the loud mouth she was.
But Niko still stayed rooted to the spot, gesturing to the joint she'd already retrieved from her bra while the pair bickered over if a man was cute or not. "I'm gonna..." She reached for her lighter that she'd stuffed down the side of her skirt and was just about to light it when CJ interrupted her action.
Lurching forward, the drummer knocked the roll from her awaiting mouth. "Oh no you don't." She tutted disappointedly, stamping it into the floor before it could be lit.
Now, CJ wasn't one to let good weed go to waste, hell in any other circumstance she would've stole it from Niko for herself. But there was a lot at stake tonight and the last thing she needed was Niko to be off her head and mess up because she was too high to focus. That ain't happening on my watch.
"C! That cost me like ten pounds!" Niko gasped in annoyance at her friend's unwarranted actions.
"Well that's ten pounds wasted then innit!" CJ shrugged smugly as she turned to walk towards the venue again, hoping Niko would follow but apparently not. "I ain't 'aving you high on stage! Now come on--" She ushered her with a grab of her arm trying to push the blonde from her spot. "Niko, come on."
Niko puffed her cheeks, standing her ground. She wasn't that her friend had just wasted a perfectly good joint like that but she also did not want divulge her best friend in why she wanted to have a smoke of it. Though, now with no smoke, she saw no option but to mumble the truth. "I just...I just wanted to settle my nerves."
"Why?" CJ frowned straight away as if it wasn't obvious to the overzealous drummer.
But that's where they differed.
Niko was more reserved, more introverted, she let her singing do the talking -- if that makes any sense -- but boy did she know how to do it. With CJ however, the confidence of her drumming extended far beyond the stage and she was probably as confident and extroverted as it gets.
CJ was an open book, Niko was not.
But that didn't stop CJ from voicing her opinion. "We've done this hundreds if not thousands of times before, we know what we're doing, we have this! We're gonna rock these mothafuckas and get tha supporting spot, and all because a - we are a great band and b - you are one 'ell of a singer."
CJ's confidence usually rubbed off on everyone but the silence she was met with and the now closed eyes of the blonde in front of her was enough to tell her that the confidence in this case was not shared. So, with a sigh, the drummer wrapped her arms around her best friend's shoulders and bowed slightly to meet her gaze.
"Niko... look at me." She coaxed and thankfully, Niko did what she asked, reluctantly meeting the dark eyes of the brunette. "We have this okay?" CJ cooed quietly. "We're all in this together."
Niko let out a bated breath, one she hadn't realised she had been holding onto, and gave her best friend a single nod. "Okay... Troy Bolton." She quipped teasingly.
"We both know I'd prefer Gabriella." CJ winked suggestively, making Niko chuckle at her forwardness. "Now come on, I'm freezing me tits off out yer." CJ complained and laced her arm with the reluctant blonde, dragging her towards the venue for the performance of a lifetime.

How to Choose the Right 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program
Are you passionate about yoga and considering taking the next step to become a certified yoga teacher? Enrolling in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program is a crucial first step towards achieving your goal. With the abundance of options available, selecting the right training can seem overwhelming. In this guide, we'll walk you through key considerations to help you choose the perfect 200-hour yoga teacher training program that aligns with your goals and values.
1. Accreditation and Certification:
Look for programs that are accredited by recognized yoga organizations like Yoga Alliance. This ensures that the training meets certain quality standards and will provide you with a certification that is widely recognized in the industry.
2. Curriculum and Focus:
Examine the curriculum of the program. A well-rounded training should cover yoga philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, asana (posture) practice, pranayama (breath control), meditation, and more. Ensure that the program's focus aligns with your interests and goals.
3. Experienced and Qualified Instructors:
Research the instructors who will be leading the training. They should have extensive experience, a strong teaching background, and a deep understanding of yoga philosophy and practice.
4. Teaching Style:
Consider the teaching style of the program. Some programs may focus more on a specific yoga style (e.g., Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga), while others offer a blend of styles. Choose a training that resonates with your personal preferences and goals.
5. Class Size and Student-Teacher Ratio:
Smaller class sizes often lead to a more personalized and effective learning experience. A lower student-teacher ratio allows for more individualized attention and mentorship.
6. Location and Duration:
Decide whether you want to complete the training locally or in a different setting. Consider the duration of the program—some are intensive month-long courses, while others are spread out over several months. Choose what fits your schedule and lifestyle.
7. Reviews and Reputation:
Read reviews and testimonials from previous students to get insights into their experiences. A reputable program should have positive feedback from graduates who felt well-prepared for their teaching journey.
8. Cost and Value:
While cost is a factor, prioritize the value you'll receive from the program. A comprehensive, high-quality training might have a higher price tag, but it can be a worthwhile investment in your yoga teaching career.
9. Additional Opportunities:
Some programs offer additional perks like mentorship, teaching opportunities, or workshops. These can enhance your learning and post-training career prospects.
10. Your Intuition:
Ultimately, trust your intuition. Listen to your gut feeling about the program. If it aligns with your values, aspirations, and feels like the right fit, it probably is.
Choosing the right 200-hour yoga teacher training program requires thoughtful research and consideration. By evaluating the curriculum, instructors, teaching style, and other factors, you'll be well-equipped to embark on a fulfilling journey toward becoming a certified yoga teacher. Remember, this training is not just about teaching yoga; it's about deepening your practice and sharing the transformative power of yoga with others

Reviewing the All Elite Wrestling personnel 2023 Edition (Part 3) -
GET RID OF -
No I've not lost my mind hear me out - Hook is a great prospect and well-guarded in the booking. He is a special attraction. This is it. They don't know what to do now. If the company had sense he'd of done stuff with guys they still have like Ogogo or even Samoa Joe. What would you do with Hook in AEW? For me I'd send him to NJPW and let him develop his technical skills - at the least make him Shibata's protege just don't make him suffer because he's not going to kiss ass to the establishment. I have no faith AEW will do anything with Hook when they've already pushed the wrong talents. He's got to go to grow.
Limitless dissapointment. What a tragic example of someone who can't reach his potential because of a complete lack of wanting it. Keith Lee is the guy who will smile at Jay White taking every spot and thumbs up a Swerve Strickland for wanting to adapt. Indubitably the only thing he resembles of a Junkyard Dog is the 'Junk' aspect. I do not dislike him but his sporadic appearences have tarnished what could of been a revival to his lackluster WWE career. Now I can only look at him as an overgrown mark for himself. The kind of luxury supercar who can only reach second gear.
Not a wrestler. NEXT.
He's returned to the mildest interest imaginable. Remember folks - a former TNT Champion and Tag Champion. This is 2/3 of the Triple Crown. Only Luchasaurus has accomplished this as well. Does he have blackmail on Tony Khan? Nothing about him is original and better talent have got less. Granted he's not winning anything but what do you expect? AEW outgrew him in the 4 years since becoming a weekly syndicated show. What has he done? Stagnated. Be it Kazarian or Ethan Page or anyone he's juxtaposed to he always comes off as the second stringer, the sidekick, the assist. Not a star.
I believe everyone in this world deserves a 2nd chance. Or even a 3rd chance if they've been so successful before and you understand they really want to try. Jeff Hardy has had his last chance more than 3 chances ago. It takes away from others how much he's given and it's beyond unfair. We live in a world where Tessa Blanchard is never given a single chance and is punished for calling "The Black Rose" a derogatory slur, fair enough, but we'll allow a DUI repeat offender the 'chance' to return and he's twice the age of Tessa. What do you think? If the 'crimes' were reversed would you still let Jeff Hardy back in? Of course AEW would - this is why it's just a vanity project and not one built on moral principles. Even if you disregard it the guy is a husk of what he once was so stop embarrassing the nostalgia.
"Protect me from myself" is the wrestler's mantra. Wrestlers are there to put their bodies on the line and expect their opponent(s) to help them keep things safe. Referees are meant to support this. Rick Knox was recently involved in the contraversial Rey Fenix International title win over Moxley. This isn't the first time a guy concussed/KOed has had no help from him look up 'Alex Reynolds knocked out' and look who the ref was there too. He's an amateur and dangerously naive to the well-being of the roster. At best he's careless. At worst malicious. See Jeff Hardy on 'chances'.
I could copy-paste what I said on Ruby Soho and be done with it. For everyone's safety, including her own, for the dignity of wrestling, and the chance for the women's division to mean anything, and belts to not just be used to keep broken wrestlers together, we need her to go - Britt Baker herself said it best - the industry has moved past her. It's now being held back from growing further.
Remember earlier what I said on Hook? This is one example. For a living bar of prison soap, nothing feels clean with this limpet around - I've never seen a guy more in need of having a mask put on him and, like Hook, I'd send him from AEW but instead to a landfill. The only good thing about him is his age which means he has time to go away and return better but, more likely, he's here to stay and infect airtime with negative ratings. A 'change the channel' wrestler.
I'll say this - he's incredible for his age and for the fact since I began watching wrestling he's been around…granted I've tried my best to avoid watching him but guess he thought better. His bit has run its course, get rid of the loose faction around him, free Jay Lethal, and let him be a booker or something. His mind is what is important not his body of work.
The time has come to finally talk about Sammy Guevara - a man I danced around with for 4 years debating whether he should be pushed or go. He should go. Here's why - Sammy Guevara is one of the best talents AEW has got so what's the problem? He can't overcome his own insecurities. He has to be associated with someone. He has to be involved with people who drag him down and, consequently, he's comfortable with it. When the Inner Circle and Pinnacle storyline happened it should of culminated with Guevara becoming the new leader and Jericho eventually breaking off to do his own ego faction. This way Guevara could of feuded with MJF on a more serious level. None of this happened. In fact Guevara has been stuck slowly grinding on the spot without a care. When he discussed why he joined Don Callis he could of mentioned Jericho gave him bad habits and his reliance to do his moves is why he lost NOT because he was just 'sick and tired' of Jericho my god what a bore. If Guevara becomes an AEW World Champion by the time next October runs around this company will die an agonising death.

*deep breath* Okay. Taking the plunge. Accountability time.
It's been close to five years since I decided the career I want to pursue is scoping, which is basically editing for court reporters. I started out training to be a court reporter, but washed out after a very depressing, discouraging, and exhausting six months and turned to scoping instead. It would be something I can do from home, self-employed, remotely, from anywhere with an internet connection. From what people in the industry say, I could potentially double what I'm making right now (not that that's saying very much), within the first year of work. And best of all, it's right up my alley - I would be paid to nitpick somebody's punctuation and spelling?! That's like a dream come true! And there is no end to work out there, because people will always be suing each other over something.
It's also been close to five years ago that I signed up for an online scoping course. The nice thing about it is that, because I paid in full up front, I have lifetime access to the website and the course, and there's no deadline by which I have to complete the training.
Of course, the downside to all of that is that it's enabled me to procrastinate for most of those five years.
The situation has become really embarrassing to me, if I'm being honest. Why don't I just buckle down and get it done? There are so many logical reasons why I should be pursuing this with everything I've got! But...it's hard. It's really hard to stay motivated, after slaving away for most of my life at school, when now I'm an adult and in full control of how I spend my time. And as exciting as the prospect of this career is, it's also kind of terrifying to think about eventually quitting my job and seeking out clients, and having to manage my workflow in such a way that I don't end up under a bridge within a year. My current job is boring and doesn't compensate me enough for what I do, but it's pretty secure and stress-free. I realize how rare that is, and I'm afraid to weigh anchor and leave that safe harbor.
Anyway, now that so many years have passed and most people in my life have stopped asking me how the training's going because they've probably forgotten or assumed I'm never going to make it, I think the shame of not finishing what I set out to do is finally outweighing that fear. I need to get this done. I have no reason not to get this done. So I'm going to do it. I may not make much progress very fast - but hey, that's what I've been doing all along, right? Slow and steady will win the race eventually.
So I'm putting this out there for accountability purposes. I'm going to try to check in every week and say what I did in pursuit of this goal. Maybe, with that expectation sitting in the back of my head, I'll be motivated to actually get off my butt and do something finally. If a week goes by and you don't hear anything about this, please feel free to bug me about it in an ask or a DM. I'd also appreciate prayers. I need all the help I can get.
I'll be using the tag "what's the scope?" for talking about scoping, so you can block that if you like.
#rambling into the void#what's the scope?#this week's progress is...making this post#i've been putting it off for an embarrassingly long time

Choosing the Right Business Program: What to Look for in a Course Provider
Choosing the Right Business Program: What to Look for in a Course Provider
Selecting the right business program is a pivotal step in advancing your education and career. With so many course providers available, it’s essential to consider specific factors to ensure you receive quality education that aligns with your goals. Here’s what to look for when choosing the right business program and course provider:
1. Accreditation and Recognition
One of the most critical factors is accreditation. Ensure that the course provider is recognized by relevant accrediting bodies. An accredited program signifies that the curriculum meets high educational standards and that your qualification will be recognized by employers and other institutions. For example, reputable providers often partner with recognized universities or international accrediting organizations.
2. Comprehensive Curriculum
Review the course syllabus to ensure it covers essential business topics relevant to your field of interest, such as management, finance, marketing, and strategy. A comprehensive curriculum provides a strong foundation and specialized knowledge that can enhance your expertise and career prospects.
3. Flexible Learning Options
Look for a course provider that offers flexibility in learning formats. Whether you prefer in-person, online, or hybrid classes, ensure that the program fits your schedule and learning style. Flexible options are particularly valuable for working professionals who need to balance studies with their careers.
4. Qualified and Experienced Faculty
The quality of teaching is essential for your learning experience. Research the background of the faculty members to ensure they have relevant industry experience and academic credentials. Educators with real-world expertise can provide insights that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application.
5. Student Support Services
Effective student support can significantly impact your success in a business program. Look for providers that offer comprehensive support services, including academic advising, mentorship programs, career counseling, and technical assistance. These resources can help you navigate challenges and make the most of your educational experience.
6. Industry Connections and Networking Opportunities
A program that fosters industry connections and networking can be highly beneficial for your career. Check if the course provider hosts events, guest lectures, workshops, or internship opportunities that connect students with industry leaders and potential employers.
7. Reputation and Reviews
Research the course provider’s reputation by reading reviews from past and current students. This feedback can provide valuable insights into the quality of the education, faculty support, and overall student experience. Positive testimonials often indicate that students are satisfied with their learning journey.
8. Post-Graduation Success
Consider the track record of the program’s graduates. A strong indicator of a good course provider is the success of its alumni in finding employment or advancing their careers after graduation. Many reputable institutions will have statistics or success stories to showcase their impact on students’ career paths.
9. Cost and Financial Assistance
Evaluate the cost of the program and any available financial assistance options. While a high price tag does not always guarantee quality, programs that offer scholarships, flexible payment plans, or financial aid can make education more accessible and affordable.
10. International Opportunities
If you’re looking to expand your career globally, choose a program that offers international exposure. This could include exchange programs, global modules, or partnerships with international business schools that enrich your learning experience and provide a global perspective.
Conclusion
Choosing the right business program requires thorough research and consideration of your personal and professional goals. By focusing on accreditation, curriculum quality, flexibility, faculty expertise, and support services, you can make an informed decision that will set you up for future success.

The Role Of Online Learning In The Best CPA Course Online Experience
The advent of online learning has transformed the landscape of education, particularly in specialized fields such as accounting. Online courses have become integral to the best CPA course online experience, allowing students to study at their own pace and convenience. This flexibility is especially beneficial for working professionals who must balance job responsibilities with their educational goals. Furthermore, online learning platforms often incorporate interactive elements, such as discussion forums, quizzes, and video lectures, enhancing the overall learning experience. The accessibility of diverse resources, including study guides, practice exams, and real-time feedback from instructors, empowers students to tailor their learning journeys according to their individual needs. As a result, online learning is not just an alternative but often the preferred mode of education for those seeking CPA certification. It fosters a more inclusive and personalized approach to learning, bridging geographical gaps and offering a plethora of resources that traditional classrooms may not provide.
Choosing The Right Environment For The Best CPA Course Online
Creating an optimal study environment is crucial for success in the best CPA course online. Unlike traditional classrooms, online learners must be proactive in establishing a space conducive to focus and productivity. Ideally, this environment should be quiet, well-lit, and free from distractions, allowing students to immerse themselves in their studies. Additionally, having the right tools—such as a reliable computer, high-speed internet, and access to relevant software—can significantly enhance the learning experience. It's also essential to cultivate a routine that aligns with personal productivity peaks; some individuals may find they study best in the early morning, while others may prefer late-night sessions. Moreover, engaging with fellow students through online study groups can create a sense of community and provide motivation. Utilizing platforms for collaboration can help break the isolation that sometimes accompanies online learning.
Understanding The Cost-Benefit Ratio Of The Best CPA Course Online
When considering the best CPA course online, understanding the cost-benefit ratio is vital for making informed decisions. Tuition fees for online CPA courses can vary significantly, depending on the institution, course length, and the resources provided. While some programs may seem expensive, it's essential to evaluate what they offer in terms of quality of education, access to study materials, and additional support services. Many top-tier courses come with extensive resources such as live webinars, personalized tutoring, and comprehensive exam prep tools that can justify a higher price tag. Conversely, budget-friendly options might lack these essential features, potentially impacting the overall learning experience. Additionally, prospective students should consider the long-term financial implications of obtaining a CPA license, such as increased earning potential and career advancement opportunities. The investment in a quality online course can yield substantial returns in the form of a rewarding career.

Comparative Analysis Of The Best CPA Course Online For Your Needs
Conducting a comparative analysis of the best CPA course online is essential for prospective students seeking the right fit for their educational and professional aspirations. Various factors must be considered, including course content, delivery format, duration, support services, and pricing. Some programs may focus heavily on test preparation, while others might offer a broader curriculum encompassing essential accounting principles. Additionally, students should evaluate the level of instructor support and availability of supplemental resources such as forums, webinars, and mentorship opportunities. Analyzing user reviews and testimonials can provide further clarity on the strengths and weaknesses of each program. Furthermore, it’s crucial to consider personal learning preferences; for instance, some students may thrive in a self-paced environment, while others might prefer structured schedules with regular deadlines. By thoroughly comparing these aspects, students can make informed decisions about which online CPA course aligns best with their learning styles and career objectives.
Maximize Your Study Time With The Best CPA Course Online
Maximizing study time is crucial for success in the best CPA course online. Students can adopt various strategies to enhance their learning efficiency and ensure they retain essential information. Creating a study schedule that allocates specific times for each subject can help learners stay organized and focused. Breaking study sessions into manageable chunks, known as the Pomodoro Technique, can also boost productivity by allowing for regular breaks and minimizing burnout. Utilizing online resources, such as interactive quizzes and practice exams, can reinforce knowledge and identify areas needing further review. Moreover, engaging in active learning techniques, such as teaching concepts to peers or applying knowledge to real-world scenarios, can deepen understanding and retention. Additionally, leveraging digital tools like flashcards and mobile apps can facilitate on-the-go studying, making it easier to fit learning into busy schedules. By implementing these strategies, students can make the most of their study time and approach the CPA exam with confidence.
The Key Features That Make The Best CPA Course Online Stand Out

Ultimately, these features contribute to a robust learning experience, empowering students to excel in their CPA studies and future careers.

A comprehensive review of the best CPA course online options involves evaluating various programs to identify their strengths and weaknesses. This process typically includes analyzing course content, delivery formats, pricing structures, and student support services. Many reputable online CPA courses offer a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning, allowing students to benefit from live interactions while still having the flexibility to study at their convenience. Additionally, reviewing user testimonials and performance metrics can provide insights into each program's effectiveness in preparing students for the CPA exam. Prospective students should also consider the reputation of the institution and the availability of accreditation, as these factors can influence future employment opportunities. By conducting thorough research and comparison, students can identify the most suitable online CPA courses that align with their learning styles and career goals.
Conclusion
The best CPA course online presents a valuable opportunity for aspiring accountants to advance their careers with flexibility and access to extensive resources. By understanding the role of online learning, creating conducive study environments, analyzing cost-benefit ratios, and drawing inspiration from successful graduates, students can navigate their educational journeys effectively. Furthermore, maximizing study time and recognizing key features that enhance online courses can significantly impact learning outcomes. A comprehensive review of available options allows prospective students to make informed choices that align with their personal and professional goals.

As companies increasingly turn to data-driven solutions, the need for professionals skilled in SAP FICO continues to rise.
The SAP FICO course prepares students not only to handle financial transactions but also to analyze financial data for strategic insights. For someone like me, who aspires to work in finance or accounting, mastering this module can open numerous career avenues and improve job prospects significantly.
Analysing SAP FICO Course Fees in Pune
When researching potential SAP FICO courses, one of the first factors I considered was the SAP FICO course in Pune fees. It’s essential to understand that the fees can vary widely based on several aspects.
Institutional Reputation
The reputation of the training institute plays a significant role in determining course fees. Established institutions that have a track record of producing successful graduates often charge higher fees. This is primarily because they provide quality education, experienced faculty, and better placement opportunities. I realized that investing in a reputable institution might yield a higher return in terms of career prospects.
While exploring different options, I noticed that some institutes offer additional resources, such as access to SAP software and practical projects, which enhance the overall learning experience. These added benefits often justify the higher fees, as they provide real-world exposure that is invaluable for students entering the job market.
Course Duration and Structure
The duration of the SAP FICO course also influences the fees. Short-term courses, typically lasting a few weeks, may seem appealing for students eager to start their careers quickly. However, they often come with a higher price tag. In contrast, longer courses, which span several months, may have lower fees but provide more comprehensive training.
As I weighed my options, I found that the structure of the course could impact my learning experience. While shorter courses might focus on intensive learning, longer courses often allow for a deeper understanding of the subject matter. This consideration was vital for me, as I wanted to ensure that I grasped the concepts thoroughly.
Curriculum and Specializations
The curriculum of the SAP FICO course is another critical factor affecting fees. Some courses cover only the basics, while others delve into advanced topics and specializations. Courses that include training on related SAP modules or integration with other business processes generally come with a higher fee.
I recognized that a well-rounded curriculum would not only prepare me for SAP FICO roles but also equip me with the skills to handle various business scenarios. The prospect of specialized training seemed beneficial, particularly in an evolving job market where multi-disciplinary skills are increasingly valued.
Certification and Hidden Costs
One aspect that often gets overlooked when considering SAP FICO course in Pune fees is the cost of certification. Many institutes charge extra for certification exams, which can add to the overall expenses. Additionally, there may be other hidden costs, such as textbooks, software licenses, and materials required for practical sessions.
Understanding all the costs involved is crucial for planning my budget effectively. By doing thorough research, I aimed to get a clear picture of the total investment required before making my decision.
Weighing the Benefits Against the Costs
After analyzing the course fees, I pondered whether the investment was justified. To determine the value of pursuing an SAP FICO course, I considered several essential factors.
Job Market Demand and Salary Expectations
The demand for SAP FICO professionals in Pune is robust, with many companies actively seeking candidates skilled in this module. Entry-level positions typically offer salaries ranging from INR 5,00,000 to INR 9,00,000 per annum, depending on the organization and individual experience. As I assessed these figures, it became evident that the potential return on investment could be significant.
Moreover, as I gain experience and prove my capabilities in the field, the salary prospects can increase substantially, often exceeding INR 12,00,000 annually for experienced professionals. This reality made the SAP FICO course fees seem more reasonable in light of the long-term benefits.
Career Advancement Opportunities
Another critical factor in evaluating the worth of the investment is the potential for career advancement. The SAP FICO certification can serve as a stepping stone to higher-level positions within organizations. Certified professionals often find themselves with better prospects for promotions, leadership roles, and increased responsibilities.
Understanding that obtaining this certification could significantly enhance my career trajectory was motivating. I knew that with dedication and hard work, I could leverage this opportunity to climb the corporate ladder.
Networking and Industry Connections
Enrolling in an SAP FICO course also provides students with valuable networking opportunities. Many training institutes organize workshops, guest lectures, and events that facilitate connections with industry professionals. Building a strong professional network during my studies could lead to mentorship opportunities, internships, and even job placements in the future.
Recognizing the importance of networking in today's job market was enlightening. I aimed to maximize these opportunities to enhance my professional growth and secure potential job leads after completing the course.
Making an Informed Decision
As I neared the point of deciding whether to enroll in an SAP FICO course, I followed a few crucial steps to ensure I made an informed choice:
Researching Training Institutes: I started by compiling a list of training institutes that offer SAP FICO courses in Pune. I paid attention to their reputation, reviews from past students, and the success stories of alumni.
Attending Information Sessions: Many institutes offer informational sessions for prospective students. Attending these events allowed me to gather firsthand insights about the course structure, teaching methodologies, and available support services.
Exploring Financial Aid Options: I discovered that some institutes provide scholarships, installment payment plans, and financial aid for eligible students. Investigating these options helped me manage the financial aspects of my education more effectively.
Connecting with Alumni: Speaking with alumni who have completed the SAP FICO course provided me with valuable perspectives on the course’s effectiveness. Their insights into job placements, salary expectations, and the relevance of the training to their careers were instrumental in my decision-making process.
Conclusion: Investing in My Future
In conclusion, understanding the fees associated with an SAP FICO course in Pune involves analyzing various factors, including institutional reputation, course duration, curriculum quality, and additional costs. While the investment may seem substantial initially, the potential return in terms of job opportunities, salary prospects, and career advancement can make it worthwhile.
As I consider enrolling in an SAP FICO course, I am excited about the skills and knowledge I will acquire, which will prepare me for a successful career in finance. Investing in this training is not merely a financial decision; it represents a commitment to my future and my desire to build a fulfilling career in an ever-evolving industry.
