The Dark Lord's Last Curse

It will be over, it will finally be over. Harry can't believe that after all that time, all their losses, Voldemort is finally gone. The young man started to open a shy smile in the middle of Hogwarts great hall. Only to be hit by a wave of energy he had never felt in his life, and with it the cold voice of the Dark Lord hissing at him.

"You may think you've beaten me Potter, but even in death the Dark Lord's vengeance reaches you. This is my final curse and it will take away everything you hold dear and make that Muggle lover Dumbledore's worst nightmare come true. But serves you both right, anyone who mixes with pigs should live like one."

At that moment the boy lost his consciousness, without feeling that his famous scar was disappearing, leaving in its place immaculate skin.

...

“You did not do as I asked. You never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands. The best that can be said is that he has at least escaped the appalling damage you have inflicted upon the unfortunate boy sitting between you.”

...

Harry woke up in his room at number 4 Privet Drive, with the strangest dream he had ever had in his life. It involved a school of magic and a Lord... Vol... Vold... something. Bizarre. He stretched, rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed, for a moment he thought about putting his glasses on. But then he remembered that he hadn't needed them in years, not since his aunt and uncle paid for the expensive correction surgery. Man, the Dursleys would give him and his cousin anything they wanted, as the room full of tech gadgets and boxing gear attested. Still drowsy the boy scratched his powerful pectorals with the feeling that he was forgetting something very important.

He forced his sluggish mind to try to remember and... he knew he had something planned with Duddley, something his cousin really wanted and he as his best friend would go along with it. No, no, that wasn't true, an irritating little voice told him in the back of his head, soon to be drowned out by a stronger and much dumber voice. Mate, today was an important day, he just needed to remember why, but thinking had never been his forte. Since they were little Duddley was the leader and he was a good follower. Even if now he was bigger than his cousin in musculature. His smaller stature made it easier for him to gain powerful muscles while training at the boxing academy. But the power dinamics between the two remained the same. Duddley was a lot smarter after all. And speaking of the devil, the blond and muscular boy appeared at his cousin's door at that moment.

"You still haven't got up, sleepyhead? Get ready at once, today is the big day."

"Yeah, I know that Big D, the big day... I just don't remember why."

"Potter, how stupid you are, it's a good thing I'm the brains around here! Go have your breakfast, dad wants to talk to you before we leave."

Harry felt butterflies in his stomach. The fear of his uncle's tantrum setting in. But why? Uncle Vernon never even raised his voice at him. The man treated him as if he were a prince.

"Potter, you asshole, you shouldn't have drink so much last night. Damn Piers and his dares." The young man grumbled as he picked up the first pieces of clothing he found on the bedroom floor.

He went downstairs, still sleepy, stopping beside the closet under the stairs and staring at it for a few seconds, with the strange image of his uncle locking him in that place. Nonsense. He had a fit of laughter just imagining it.

"What the fuck was in those drinks?" He thought, walk a few steps and stop again looking at the living room table. Full of pictures of him and his cousin. He scratched his head, with the strangest feeling that the images should move. If Uncle Vernon heard such nonsense he might really lose his temper. For some reason he was surprised to see himself in those pictures, as if for some strange reason he shouldn't be there.

The first image showed a young Petunia holding baby Harry in her arms, accompanied by a smiling Duddley.

The second was a photo of Vernon with the two boys in his office at Grunnings the drill company he had been a director of before doing a very lucrative deal with old Mr. Mason a few years ago and then expanding the business into other areas.

Harry remembered that day very well, after all it was his twelfth birthday and he deserved to have that day just for him. As a reward for giving in he got a video game and a television just for him so he didn't have to share with Duddley , which his cousin thought was a brilliant idea, perhaps because it had been his idea. Strangely, the image of a woman screaming as she saw an owl fly through the living room window popped into his mind. What the fuck was that? An owl in the room? Harry was never the imaginative type, that drink really should have been spiked, Piers was going to get a beat up when Harry saw him again.

Finally, a photo of him and Duddley at Smeltings, the school the two attended until a few days before. That one had been taken right after Duddley had lost weight and won the boxing championship. Harry once again found himself invaded by old memories, he and Dudley trying on the uniform, just before Harry's 11th birthday, the two engaging in a lively struggle with the walking sticks that were part of the school uniform.

Of course, the two of them had later used those canes on far more interesting targets. Still with the memory of that fun afternoon in mind, the boy walked into the kitchen, being welcomed by his uncle's smiling face.

"Good morning, Uncle Vernon."

"Harry, my boy, I need to have a word with you... what are you doing?" The man stopped when he saw the boy serve him the dish.

"Sorry Uncle, is there a problem with the eggs?"

"No, they're perfect, but why are you serving? You've never done anything like that in your life. Hahaha. Smart boy, trying to buy off his old uncle. Sit down Harry, you don't have to try to please me. I just want to ask you a favor."

Harry sat at the table, thoughtful, what the fuck was going on with him that day? Was it just the hangover?"

"I know where you and Duddley went yesterday. Don't get me wrong boy, I think every healthy boy has to enjoy life. But I ask that you don't let your aunt see. Boy, your father… He was a piece of shit, sorry to tell you that again boy... but it’s true. That man could handle a good drink and that's what worries Petunia. So leave it to Mallorca. Enjoy it, after all it's the first time you and Duddley will go alone to our beach house.”

Harry's first instinct was to yell at his uncle to defend his father, but why would he do that? His father had died in a car accident, probably drunk after dragging his mother across the country. Harry liked a good drink too, but he and Duddley would have to be more discreet, if even the Dursleys had noticed. For a long time the two boys avoided showing all their activities, even though they knew that the Dursleys would support them what they didn't see they didn't feel. And it was precisely remembering that that the boy opened a smile and spoke to his uncle.

"I will, Uncle, but I assure you what happened yesterday was a one-time thing. Me and Duddley have never drunk before, it was all Gordon and Piers' idea. I swear."

"I knew it! I told Petunia yesterday, "Tunia, our boys wouldn't do something like that. We raise them well. They are good kids and we are good parents. Isn't that right, lad?"

"You are the best, Uncle! Now I'm going to change, after all it's the big day." Mallorca! How could he forget, they'd been arranging this for months, finally vacationing alone so they could do whatever the fuck they wanted. He was slower than usual if he had forgotten about that.

After getting ready and picking up his bags, Harry went to meet his cousin who was already waiting for him in the brand new car he had received as a present for his eighteenth birthday. Harry was counting the days for his own birthday, knowing that he would also receive a machine like that. He and Big D were itching to race each other. The two had wanted to do it for years, though Petunia was uncharacteristically firm in her denials, likely due to how she lost her sister.

And speaking of her, his aunt was waiting for him in the front yard while Duddley laughed as he watched his father try to fit into the sports car he was driving back from the airport. His aunt turned to Harry, staring at him with her pale eyes, which for a brief moment the boy thought were full of rancor, but which only showed adoration.

"Harry dear, I might not like your father, he wasn't up to par with your mother, but Lily... Lily was eccentric, if you knew the hideous boy she hung out with when we were little! Yet when you lost your mother I lost my sister. But she left me you and I did everything to make sure you had everything you wanted, just like Dudders. My two little boys so grown up! Going away alone! Please take care of each other!

"Don't worry Aunt Petunia, Dudders and I will take care of ourselves, I promise we'll call every day!" If we can remember, thought the boy smiling inwardly.

"Hurry up Potter! It's time for a little fun" shouted his cousin from the car.

....

The two boys were enjoying the late afternoon at the beach. When Duddley called out to his cousin, pointing to a group of younger boys.

"Look at those little shits, they're begging for a spanking."

"True, but they can wait." Harry replied. Not used to being crossed, Duddley turned on his cousin.

"And may I know why, Potter?"

"The reason, Big D is those two hot girls looking at us. The redhead is mine!" Replied Harry.

"And you think you can get a hottie like that, Potter?"

"You know I can Big D. Once they prove it they always come back." Said Harry pointing to his cock.

"They love my magic wand!"

SVT Gang Au: where Seungcheol is Head of Operations and calls all the plays, Mingyu is on Reconnaissance, Vernon is their Quartermaster and Wonwoo the Exterminator. 

[irenerei-n-svt]

BSS Spy au headcanons (plausibly)

Warning long post. I would try to finish all the headcanons in 2 to 3 parts.

So I was talking with @yadi-xo and I got inspired out of nowhere which nobody asked

So here goes nothing

Team alpha (Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu )

Team alpha is more on the subtle spy like you can see in Kingsman, The man from Uncle, and James bond, suits, umbrella, glasses, and mini hidden guns. They also more prone to be sent out for undercover mission.

Team beta (Joshua, Jun, Minghao, Vernon)

Team beta would be more on to be sent of for action. Not much close range mission, mostly kinda like SWAT mixed with a bit of hitman concept team (I kinda remember there is a Japanese drama kinda touches this kind of team where Ayano Gou took part in the drama), hiding on roof to help spy and back up team alpha and gamma. They would always looks like tourist but that is intentional. Occasionally, this team also is the language support to other team. Kinda like 4 male version of Black widow if you want a more easy explanation, sneaking into places to do their job.

Team gamma (Seungkwan, SeokMin, Soonyoung)

Alright BSS our main character here! This team mostly focus on misdirection. They are those who blend in very well. And using misdirection to let you drop you guard.

Team delta also aka backup and mastermind team (Jihoon, Dino, Jeonghan)

This team stays indoor mostly, using tech equipment to back up all the other teams. No specific person is in charge of specific team.

Also to mention the team designation was not like this before. They also tend to shuffle members alot. Until Mr. Pledis made the arrangements as seen above.

SoonYoung was placed with Jun, Minghao and Dino as the bodyguard/swat undercover team. (Remember Boom Boom mv where SoonYoung just confidently wanna go through all the laser?)

And SoonYoung once went out mission with Jihoon as his bodyguard (*inspired by Bring it)

Also, Vernon, SeokMin and Jun were used to operate for shooting missions (bows arrows and long range guns *got this inspiration from idol Olympic thing)

Also, Seungkwan was a short lived member in Delta team before swapped with Chan. (Because Delta team need a body guard/fighter, hence the swap)

Hence all members are very fond of each other and pretty much confident on each other's capability.

Ok after established some concept of each team let's dig down more. So team gamma or the spy office calls them BooSeokSoon or BSS in short, actually are not the most favourite team in K-SPIES.

Some people tend to think this BSS is just a gag team. Like misdirection is a basic for all spies, you don't really need a team to be specialised and skilled for misdirection purpose.

Some other K-spies will laugh and thought that BSS is the lower quality of other team in SVT department.

Cues in pouty Seungkwan when he heard this.

Cues in SVT protects and back up BSS when they heard this.

This issue sometimes hit BSS but their group mates cheers them up. They know their worth.

Ok done with the background setting let's move to how-to start the story.

Team Alpha got caught and Beta send out SOS to Delta. And Delta has no choice but to use Gamma as if they are the combination of Alpha and Beta.

BSS THINKS THIS IS THE GOOD CHANCE TO PROVE THEMSELVES AND DURING THE MEETING THEY ARE SO HYPE LOL

Cues in BSS inhaled dramatically when heard the news

Seungkwan: Those hyungs got caught?????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

During weapon introducing, Delta provided them proper looking weapons. But

Soon young or SeokMin probably : Can't we get a water toy gun that shoots laser?

SeokMin : Even better why not give us sunglasses that shoots laser?

Chan as the gadget controller: *intensive facepalms

Also, Soon Young who got too excited accidentally breaks a gadget.

Either Chan notices it and yell at him, or Soon Young just non chalantly puts back the gadget without Chan noticed

Chan will notices eventually and will report to uppers so deduct SoonYoung's salary lol

How BSS choose their gadgets, rock paper scissors.

Soon young : WHY alpha team would wanna wear suits like this, it's very suffocating and hard to move.

Forgot to mention the suits alpha team wears have the same tech seen in the movie Tuxedo by Jackie Chan. (Yes I am old aunty just bear with me lol)

During briefing, SoonYoung with his weird ideas.

When Jihoon briefs on some small data retriving mission related to the Alpha rescuing mission, and states that the success rate is just 50:50 And asks BSS if they want to cancel the mission because the data maybe not even helpful at all. (I am thinking a jet black box somewhere in the sea but the place already crowded by SVT 's nemesis hence Jihoon says maybe better cancel)

SoonYoung defo : if you are gonna bet, bet in your life

Jeonghan And Seungkwan : I appreciate the passion but please don't get yourself killed because of that. Tq.

Seungkwan is the reason of the team but does not last long. He will be the one to retorts all the stupid moves and stupid ideas his hyungs come up with. Yes Boo is considered the most normal one in BSS, even team Delta starts to pity him and feels his pain

Jihoon facepalm himself : I forgot they are the misdirection specialised team and a bunch of crackheads

So will team gamma or team BSS successfully saves their colleagues?

See you in part 2 lol

I NEED TO HIGH KEY MENTION THE THEME SONG FOR THIS AU IS JUST DO IT BY BOOSEOKSOON. And during mission, they will sing this song quite often for motivational boost.

Ending song will be CLAP. No argument allowed lol

[justsomekpopstuff]

So lets talk about AUs. How about one where society is run entierly on technology. But there is this underground secret drak goverment agenda for the people. The goverment uses a lot of propaganda to control the masses and keep everything uniform. It goes far deeper than just keeping order though and recently have been creating special programms for gifted people. But the programs are basically concentration camps for people that are more creative/rebelious about the order than the agenda.

So SVT are an underground group known as the rebellion that use their tech. finesse to shut down goverment comptures and gather confidential info. Also they live undergound exactly like the ninja turtles. Anyway so Y/N gets stuck in one of these camps right but she hacks into the system at her hospital like prison for a slip second to turn off all camera and locks to escape. BUT that same day the boys (SVT) were planning to raid that facility for its spy wear tech. 

As you’re running out you run into the leader who agrees to help you get out and give you a safe place to stay after. As you were collecting things he analyzes everything and gets super frustrated that everything is fried and no longer salvagable. 

Can’t decide weather Y/N tells them right there it was because of her or after though. Anyway theres more but uh no spoilers. creds: @immahoshi 

Seungcheol: Probably the leader (original i know right). One of the most wanted men in the world, most known face of the rebellion. Also face of hope.

Jeonghan: Uhh working on it… (help?) But I think he would work heavily in the physical black market. Gets a lot of codes and spare parts.

Joshua: Navigator. Maps out the layout for missions and all the escape routes and stuff. Sets times/time frames for missions

Jun: Field workers, mostly works on the missions of search and retrieval. Can’t be trusted alone though because can’t always keep the objective straight. 

Hoshi: I can see him being a charismatic hacker like Ed from Cow Boy Bebop or a field worker. If he’s a hacker I think he would be the one who likes creating malware and spying on others. Another I need help with. Gadget maker?

Wonwoo: Would probably researcher on people. Picking up their ghosts of pasts and stuff. But he for sure dabbles in the dark web or something. Makes folders for missions filled with like info for Seungcheol to review

Woozi: Hacker AF. Really great with taking down firewalls and analyzing coding on the fly. Works really accurately under pressure, fixes things the boys f up a lot.

DK: Ummm help. I feel like he would be victim managment. Like when they raid institutions/camps he’s the one to get all of the captives out and release them to safe spaces.

Mingyu: Another field agent! Charming af so usually sent off on intel missions. Known for setting off alarms an Woozi has to save his butt.

The8: Something with security cameras? Or more of an editor, controls the broadcasts that are made when they highjack stations and channels. Or counter propagandist, makes the posters and street art in the night. Like spray paints a government buildings with “We are NOT one” and stuff, feel?

Seungkwan: Another one I’m slightly stuck on. Probably field agent, gets along with people and can talk himself out of sticky situations. Probably will be close to Y/N

Vernon: Look out/Timer. Has kind of a baby driver type of thing going on. Takes care of most of the guards,sits in the security rooms most of the time monitoring the others during the mission. Changes the music every 5-10 mintues like in Inception.

Dino: Aahh my brain is 100% dead, but I think he could be a weapons expert or get away driver would be cool. Hoshi likes testing is inventions on him without him knowing. Always wants to go on missions but usually gets No’s from Seungcheol. Probably another one Y/N could be friends with.

At the end of the day everyone doubles as a field agent and has some tech insight sooo. Alright I hope this wasnt too long and annoying and if you have any suggestions I really want to hear them. Some stuff I’m not happy with so I’d love to talk things out with someone. I literally just threw up words and ideas. 

adlfgkjnadlfgk omg this is AMAZING you should totally write this! This is an incredible AU! Its like something straight out of a dystopian movie!

Cheol is definitely a leader at heart. He would love being able to give people hope when it doesn’t feel like there is any. He would always do what is right and what is best for the others. Master of making plans and compromises and ALWAYS has a backup.

Jeonghan would be an amazing black market business person in this situation. He has that aura about him where people just listen and take his advice on stuff. He’d be the one they send out to infiltrate the big bad’s headquarters as a potential ally so he can distract them while the others steal information.

Joshua is definitely someone who always has a backup. He seems like the kind of person that would want more than one plan in case they go south. He would be the voice of reason to Seungcheol’s plans and will always have backups in case Cheol doesn’t have any.

Jun definitely has an issue with sticking to the plan, especially if he doesn’t like it. Usually causes a bit of chaos in the field, but he’s lucky so it always ends up to the rebellion’s advantage. Would 10/10 be ready to fight the enemy at all times as well.

Hoshi is definitely also chaotic. I feel he’d be good at weapons building because he can get inspiration from anywhere. His inventions always seem crazy or like they wouldn’t be useful, but always end up working perfectly? Like those inventions that people would say like “who knew” because they didn’t expect it to work so well.

Wonwoo is definitely a researcher. Makes sure everyone knows the ins and outs of an operation. Would be an advisor to both Joshua and Seungcheol so they can come up with the best plan of action. Also notifies them when there is some big news they haven’t heard yet. Seems intimidating but he also likes watching cat videos in the internet so yeah

Woozi is definitely a hacker. Its the job with the least amount of contact with people so he can get his work done. Secretly loves when the boys come to see him with a problem. Also definitely works well under pressure.

DK would absolutely be a medic or kind of like a first responder. Would be the first person that all people who have been rescued would visit to get a debrief. He would kinda be like the landlord and host for the people they rescue, and if anyone has a problem they would go to him. His smile is enough motivation for people to join the revolution.

Mingyu is a field agent but also makes sure that everyone else takes care of themselves. Sometimes helps Seok with the people they rescue if he doesn’t have anything to do. Would be kind of like the brute force to match Jun’s agility and sleight of hand. Jun evades, Mingyu attacks. It would be like a perfect balance.

Minghao I feel would also be a field agent or a security kind of person. He would monitor the refugees and protect them in case anyone tried to attack the base. He’d be the one to help keep everything in order on the inside and the outside. When he is sent into the field no one knows where he is because he is fast and completely silent. He’s the person they send in when Jeonghan is the distraction because he can get in and out the fastest.

Seungkwan is also a distractor as well as a refugee helper. He loves helping Seokmin take care of the people they rescue because he has a big heart that loves helping others and wants justice. But, he also sometimes gets sent in as a distraction like Jeonghan, except he’s more outgoing about it so he’s the one they send in when they want to make some chaos.

Vernon definitely gives off the baby driver vibe (bc he never takes out his earphones). He’s the person they know that can transport anyone anywhere without being caught. Always gets sent out because he’s reliable. Always gets yelled at by Joshua and Cheol for not listening to them and making sure he’s on the right track for the getaway

Dino: a trainee under Hoshi for weapons building I think. He’s kind of a prodigy at it. Sometimes questions Hosh’s methods and ideas but always goes with it because there’s a piece of him that knows it is most likely going to be amazing. Also enjoys creating a bit of chaos and can’t wait till he can make his own weapons of mass destruction

omg this au sounds amazing someone pls write this

US Judge Clears Way for Defamation Case Over Musk 'Pedo' Tweet

https://sciencespies.com/news/us-judge-clears-way-for-defamation-case-over-musk-pedo-tweet/

US Judge Clears Way for Defamation Case Over Musk 'Pedo' Tweet

A federal judge has cleared the way for a defamation trial against Elon Musk over his comments about a British cave rescuer after rejecting key arguments from the Tesla chief. US judge Stephen Wilson ordered a trial to begin December 3 in Los Angeles in the case that centres on Musk’stweets in a disagreement connected to the rescue of 12 boys from a cave in Thailand in July 2018.

Musk called Vernon Unsworth “pedo guy” after Unsworth, who helped with the rescue, ridiculed Musk’s proposal to build a mini-submarine during the crisis as a “PR stunt.”

The judge rejected Musk’s argument that the term “pedo guy” was a common insult and would be seen as an opinion and not a statement of fact.

Wilson said some of Musk’s subsequent statements suggested he believed the charge about Unsworth to be true, which has “created a genuine dispute over the meaning of Defendant’s Tweets” that “must be resolved by a jury.”

Unsworth has denied being a paedophile.

Wilson accepted aspects of Musk’s argument that Unsworth was a “limited public figure” who had voluntarily injected himself into the public debate about how to save the boys.

To win a defamation case in US courts, public figures like celebrities must show actual malice on the part of the person making a false statement, as opposed to the lower standard of negligence.

But Wilson ruled Musk should not be shielded him from a defamation lawsuit because the allegation of paedophilia was not connected to the debate about how to save the boys.

“To allow criticism into every aspect of a plaintiff’s life simply because he chose to get involved in a limited issue would render him an all-purpose public figure,” Wilson wrote in a decision earlier this week.

“For defendant’s comments to relate to Plaintiff’s participation in public controversies, there must be some relationship between pedophilia and the rescue or the subs — there is simply no credible connection here.”

Alex Spiro, an attorney representing  Musk, said in an email that “we look forward to the trial.”

Sleep Disorders In Teens Increase With Late-Night Phone Use

Like it or not, technology dominates modern life. Rarely can you see an individual without a smartphone in hand. People these days live a more active life in the virtual world than they do in real life. While we relish all the perks that the World Wide Web offers, it also has many disadvantages that mainly impact your health in a negative light. First off, the radiation emitted by many of these modern gadgets is not good for your health. Then, smartphone and smart gadget use can be highly addicting.

This obsession with technology has been going on for a while now. Back then, parents were often worried about young kids who are obsessed with video games. But today, they can do virtually everything they want with a smartphone in hand. You can text and call family and friends any time of the day. You can also play any game you want as long as you can download it from the app store and your phone has enough memory for it. Social media is the biggest temptation of all. You can get lost in it 24/7 and not feel sleepy at all.

TEENAGERS’ LATE-NIGHT mobile phone use is harming their mental health and sleeping patterns, according to a new study.

The study of 1,100 students aged 13 to 16 in Australia found that late-night mobile phone use was directly linked to poor sleep quality, which led to poorer mental health outcomes, reduced coping and lowered self-esteem.

Lead researcher Lynette Vernon, of Murdoch University in Perth, said the findings showed a need for curfews around the use of mobile phones in bedrooms.

A major factor as to why many people, even young kids, get hooked to technology and their health ultimately suffers is because they have access to it at home or even outside the house. Even kids as young as 10-13 years old now own their personal smartphones. So, it’s no longer surprising that people with sleep issues are rising because our lifestyle is mainly to blame. We live in a tech-crazed world that can’t survive a day without fiddling with our smartphones or logging into our various social media accounts.

The study of 1,101 students aged between 13 and 16 years old, is thought to be the first to prove the direct link between higher mobile phone use and a rise in externalizing behaviour – such as aggression – decreased self-esteem and coping skills.

However, using mobile phones at night was not “significantly associated” with a change in depressed mood, according to the study paper.

Those behind the research suggested it could be because depressed adolescents may stop using their phones as much to contact friends. This could mean night-time use of other technology – such as devices to access social media – could be more closely linked to poor sleep and depression, they said.

Social media gave new meaning to our lives. However, you can’t deny that while it is fun to connect and reconnect with old and new friends online, it can take your time away from more important life responsibilities, even from your much-needed sleep. Unfortunately, teens suffer the most because they often don’t understand yet the implications of this new tech obsession and how their health ultimately suffers in the end.

These days, teachers often face classrooms filled with yawning students who stayed up late snapping selfies or playing online games.

For children and teens, using cell phones, tablets and computers at night is associated with losing sleep time and sleep quality, new research finds. Even children who don't use their phones or the other technologies littering their bedrooms at night are losing shut-eye and becoming prone to daylight sleepiness, the analysis published today in JAMA Pediatrics finds.

The analysis found "a consistent pattern of effect across a wide range of countries and settings," said Dr. Ben Carter, lead author and a senior lecturer in biostatistics at King's College London.

It is the parents’ responsibility to look after their child’s health and well-being even if it means imposing a curfew on their tech use. If you just let kids use technology whenever they want to, they will eventually suffer from poor sleep quality, not get enough sleep and suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness that may pull their grades down and affect how much they participate in class.

Aside from affecting school performance, kids and teens who stay up late at night because of their smartphone use suffer from a shift in their circadian rhythm that also affects various restorative biological processes that often take place at night in your sleep. Always remember that sleep is an important factor in the normal growth and development of children, so make sure they sleep well at night and away from these addictive gadgets as much as possible.

A wine tour of Canada’s beautiful Okanagan Valley

Ven to a person aware of going spherical wineries, Mission Hill is just jaw-losing. The 40 in particular commissioned sculptures, the 12-storey bell tower, the collection of ancient Greek amphorae, the Chagall tapestry … that is as grand as a wine enjoy gets, yet it’s now not within the Napa Valley, however, one thousand miles to the north in Canada’s Okanagan Valley.

Wine is booming inside the Okanagan. Two decades in the past, there had been only 31 wineries in the area; now there are over a hundred thirty. The area is ruled via the spectacularly stunning 135km-lengthy Okanagan lake, which runs from Vernon within the north right down to the semi-desert region of Osoyoos. It’s even reputed to have its personal equivalent of the Loch Ness monster, the Ogopogo.

Although now not that to remote places vacationers, it’s a fave summer excursion spot for Vancouverites and a refuge for Canadians from states such as Saskatchewan and Alberta escaping the brutal winter temperatures of the midwest. “As quickly as you return out here, you sense as in case you’re on vacation,” my guide instructed me. “There’s so much to do at the lake – cruising, boating, kayaking – otherwise you simply pull over and opt for a swim.”

Bold wineries together with Undertaking Hill and Quails’ Gate had been fuelled by using a tech industry growth that has added increasingly more nicely-heeled millennials to the vicinity. Wineries have usually been a plaything for rich marketers like Venture Hill’s Anthony von Mandl but much less flamboyant estates, such as LaStella and Hester Creek (which has its very own chef’s desk and cookery school), are engaging places, a few modeled on Tuscan farmhouses.

The Okanagan, like elements of the neighboring US states of Oregon and Washington, turned into until these days an undeveloped rural region, dotted with ranches and fruit farms, and this culture may be witnessed before everything hand thru farm-to-plate studies on estates together with Covert Farms’ sprawling 650 organic acres.

that is the simplest location I’ve been to where you can integrate a tasting tour of the farm with a wine tasting. Proprietor Gene Covert, the fourth generation of his family to farm the belongings, drives us around in his choose-up truck, preventing within the vineyards for a pitcher of sparkling “pét-nat” obviously fermented rosé and to cram our faces with wild blueberries directly off the bush. From the farm, there are hikes up the towering McIntyre Bluff, a 300-metre cliff fashioned over the past ice age. Perhaps earlier than, rather than after, the wine tasting, I endorse.

Any other tons smaller farm, Outdoor, does the farm-to-plate thing by going for walks a chef’s desk and cookery school. It’s owned by chef Chris van Hooydonk, who walks us across the heavily weighted down cherry bushes of his two-acre “hobby” orchard before cooking us a simple, impeccably sourced lunch matched with local wines. All the elements are rigorously call-checked: fat, candy Purple Bay scallops, sustainable prawns, natural lentils, home-grown peas and pea shoots.

With the talent that would effortlessly have made him a shining light in Vancouver, van Hooydonk chose to live inside the Okanagan, so he can spend greater time together with his own family and “cook dinner food I’m excited about that week”. It’s now not a cheap meal – minimum spend for the dining room is C$500 (£300) – but it may accommodate 10 human beings and you can take your very own wine. “And that I’m there inside the kitchen,” says van Hooydonk. “A number of humans say they like shaking palms with the individual making ready the food.”

There’s an individuality to the Okanagan that’s now not observed in Napa, or maybe Sonoma. Take the tiny Upper Bench Winery & Creamery in Penticton, wherein Uk-born Gavin Miller makes the wine and his spouse, Shana, an impressive selection of cheeses. We will taste the 2 together, and Gavin’s deep pink rosé is an all at once exact in shape with Shana’s punchy Stilton-fashion King Cole blue.

Upper Bench is just one in every of some of the wineries alongside the Naramata Bench, a 14km ridge that turned into as soon as part of the lakeshore. From a visiting point of view, they’re best as they’re carefully spaced. Almost next door to Upper Bench are Poplar Grove, with an exhibit tasting room, and its rock’n’roll sibling Monster Vineyards – an allusion to the Ogopogo – which has All the city vibe of a downtown Vancouver wine bar.

At biodynamic Winery Summerhill in Kelowna, the wines are aged in a 4-storey duplicate of the Exquisite Pyramid of Giza, which seemingly enhances their aroma and clarity and reveals “the knowingness of eternity”. Er … Ok. however it makes a without a doubt instead scrumptious and multi-award-prevailing sparkling wine called Cipes brut (modestly named after the Owner, Stephen Cipes), so Perhaps there’s something in it. I’m not sure I ever reached the “knowingness” of who I was, even though: there’s Plenty of hippy-dippy stuff inside the Okanagan.

At the opposite crease of the valley in Summerland, a cool Winery called the Okanagan Overwhelm Pad is filled with tulip- and egg-shaped concrete tanks designed to carry out the high-quality within the ���no-additive, native ferment” wines made for its Haywire label and different small manufacturers. As Captain Beefheart pumps out over the sound gadget, a small white fluffy fireplace rug inside the shape of a Wonderful Pyrenees pup called Bijou wanders across the tasting room. They encourage you to have a seminar – now not just a tasting. Oh, and the winemaker has a beard and tattoos. Of route.

As you drive further south, it receives step by step hotter and drier. A massive part of this southern a part of the Okanagan, Canada’s only barren region, is owned by First State Canadians, who farm a few 32,000 acres around Osoyoos. They, too, have a Vineyard and motel called Nk’Mip (stated kameez), in conjunction with a soaking up the cultural center which strains the records of the Osoyoos people.

Underneath an invitingly blue sky, I set out at the Nk’Mip on the footpath but have the second mind when I see the yellow caution symptoms: “Be alert: watch for rattlesnakes.”

“You rarely see one,” my manual Darlene tells me later, most effective half of convincingly. not often is simply too regularly for me.

This comparatively unspoiled part of the sector seems to be in particular rich in critters, which include black widow spiders (eek!), wild deer and bears. Those closing are a particular danger for Vineyard proprietors as they could consume their own weight in grapes in at some point.

I will absolutely blame them.
