Blueberry Academy Annual Summer Camp

Every late summer here at BBA, when most students are approaching the end of their break, we hold an event to offer anyone who might've struggled last year with grades a chance to catch up and prepare for the upcoming new year, or newbies that are seeking to get a head start. It's also a good opportunity for any parents considering BBA for their child!

This camp began as a student-lead idea to help their friends who were struggling to keep up, and in the last few years has become a BBA tradition. Along with tutoring, we also realize attending requires most students to stay in dorm rooms for the duration of the camp- so we also offer fun activities and games in between lessons! These activities can range anywhere from arts and crafts, general hangouts, nature walks or hikes to different parts of the Terarium, or even battling!

You aren't required to show up to any specific lesson- whatever works with your schedule, and whatever subject you need help studying for! Most of our tutoring sessions are held in groups, but we also provide private individual lessons for anyone who think their kids would benefit more from that. Our sessions our typically held by volunteers, teachers, and even some students!

The event organizers this year is our newest champion of the BBL and Naranja Academy exchange student, Florence Ramirez, and our Steel-type BBL Elite Four Member, Amarys Martin. If you have any questions, direct them to Florence at @scarlet-rider!

Here's a list of the subjects we plan to tackle and some of the events we have planned in the coming weeks:

Subjects (+ Instructors):

-Science (Florence Ramirez)

-Battle Study (Blake Lockhart)

-History (Ms. Briar)

-Mathematics (N Harmonia)

-Literature (Mrs. Ross)

-Foreign Language (Anita Brooks)

Week 1 Activities

Day 1- Introduction to the Terarium: This one was made specifically for new students, but anyone is allowed to attend! Director Cyrano and Florence will be providing a personal tour of the Terarium and its various different biomes.

Day 2- Group Training: Are you a trainer seeking to challenge the BBL this year? Our Battle Studies instructor Blake and a few of our League Club members themselves will be holding a series of training sessions for you and your Pokemon to hone their skills!

Day 3- Paper flowers: We try to have a different arts and crafts activity held by the Art Club for every week of the camp. This time, we'll be learning how to make paper flower displays!

Day 4- Lunch and Get Together: Just a small meet up we'll be holding in the Central Plaza to recap how our first week of camp has gone! A good opportunity to make some friends and get to know some of our instructors. We might also have some exhibition battles between BBL Elite Four members to enjoy!

Day 5- Polar Biome Hike: We'll be hiking to the peak of the Polar Biome's Mountain! Pack a lot of cold weather and camping gear for the journey.

Day 6- Karaoke Night: A laidback karaoke event that'll be held by the Music Club!

We'll be revealing Week 2 and Week 3 events later on into the camp! We'll provide more details for each event and tutoring session via handout pamphlets that all attendees will receive, such as times, what to expect, and what you'll be recommended to bring.

The camp will run for a duration of three weeks from July 25th to August 15th. We hope to see you there!

(( OOC Event info under cut ))

(( hi! the summer camp arc was something I've been plotting for a while, and decided hey maybe other people with BBA characters would like to participate in this!

it won't be anything too complex- you can just make posts about your character attending a tutoring session or one of the events listed above. you can even have them interact with N, Blake or Florence if ya want! Florence will be making an announcement post for each event on her blog.

like I said above , there will be week 2 and week 3 events, and those will be announced once week 1 wraps up :)

a pretty simple, low stakes event, I think that pretty much sums everything up. if you decide to participate i hope you'll have fun! lmk if you have any questions ))

Subject 150 Mewtwo was created born on ██/██/██████ by criminal syndicate Team Rocket. When released to the rest of the world, Subject 150 Mewtwo fled to Cerulean Cave and stayed until the Subject he was pacified by Pokemon League Champion “Red”.

Security Procedures:

Subject 150 Mewtwo is not to leave the area unless specific permission is granted by the current Secretary of Defense, or Ex-League Champion "Red."

[SEE BELOW FOR ADDENDUMS 150.1 - 150.6 - MESSAGES BETWEEN SUBJECT 150 MEWTWO AND GATEKEEPER STAFF]

Addendum 150.1: Gatekeeper Briefing

[Date: 3/15/1999]

To whomever it may concern, 

You have been assigned as a Gatekeeper. Your mission is dual purpose.  One: You are the first and last defense against anything and everything that comes from this cave.  Two: You are to defend the inhabitant of this cave with your life.  This job may seem like the menial day-to-day service required of many others in various military branches, but know that the subject of your occupation is the single most dangerous living being currently occupying the world.  You shall be rewarded handsomely for your efforts. Make your country proud. Commander-in-Chief and Prime Minister of Kanto: Haruka Nagumo

Addendum 150.2: Email Logs between General Takashi Shino and Commander-in-Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 4/12/2001]

Commander,  It has been brought to my attention that Subject 150 has not breached containment for the past three years. It’s always been aware of the surveillance equipment, but this might be the first time it’s acknowledged it. The subject seems to be interested in communication between the surveillance team. It's making motions towards its mouth and towards the cameras. What should be our next course of action? Respectfully, General Takashi Shino

[Date: 4/13/2001]

General, After deliberating with Cinnabar’s Gym Leader Blaine, Professor Samuel Oak, and members of the ICSR ethics committee, Subject 150 is to be treated as a sapient with rights. We will be sending specialized communication equipment and appropriate protection equipment for leaving it outside the cave. When Subject 150 makes contact, I want rifle barrels pointed at the heads of the surveillance team. We have no gauge on the capabilities of Subject 150. That includes whether or not the surveillance team can be put under telepathic suggestion via digital communication. You are to report to me every single detail of communication regarding Subject 150. Commander In Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 4/14/2001]

Commander,  We have successfully made contact with Subject 150. No casualties or suggestion of psy tampered personnel or equipment. Its first words with the surveillance team, and I quote, are the following: “I’m bored.” This doesn’t seem said out of defiance or malice, the Subject looks… well... bored out of its mind. I request that we send forms of entertainment via books, magazines, etc. if the science and ethics teams allow it. As always, the surveillance tapes are to follow in a separate file.  Respectfully, General Takashi Shino

[Date: 4/14/2001]

General,  You are to give Subject 150 whatever it wants from the list provided, below. - Television with approved pre-programmed channels  - Kantonese Encyclopedia Set and Dictionary  - MP3 Player with non radio functions and pre-installed music  - Children’s coloring book with 64-Crayon set.  - A set of tennis balls - A chess board with all pieces - Silph Co. Technological Magazine Given the history of Subject 150’s mistreatment from humanity, let’s pray to Mother Mew that it decides to spare us if it takes the MP3 player. If it has to listen to the Dugtrio Duds’ latest song, we might all be dead the next day.  Keep me posted, Commander In Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 4/14/2001]

Commander, The Subject has requested “all of the above.” General Takashi Shino

Afterword: Subject 150 has requested more items between the dates noted in Addendum 150.2 and 150.3. Such items include: the highest selling mystery novel written by up-and-coming Unovan author Shauntal; miscellaneous household items: blanket, mattress, pillows; and a grand piano. All items were delivered with no issues.

Addendum 150.3 - Instant Messenger Chat Log between Subject 150 and Captain Asuka Shinohara

[Date: 5/23/2001]

S-150: Hello. 

AS: Hello. Has the portable computer given you any problems?

S-150: None.

AS: How are your accommodations?

S-150: Lacking. The cave is not what I would consider ‘comfortable'. 

AS: I can put a request for more accommodations if you would like. 

S-150: That would be appreciated. Thank you.

[END OF LOG]

[Date: 5/24/2001]

S-150: Hello.

AS: Hello. How are the items we provided you yesterday?

S-150: I broke the lamp. 

AS: Broke the what?

S-150: I was not aware of the fragility of this “lava lamp” that was provided. May I request another one? 

AS: Of course. 

S-150: I am also curious about the slots in this portable computer. It seems that there is room for something to enter this device. 

*pause due to deliberation between surveillance team members*

AS: The slot is for something called a “computer disk” that contains data on various subjects such as movies, music, and games.

S-150: Games can be played digitally?

AS: Correct. However, the portable computer you possess does not have the capability to “run” anything with limited electricity and processing power. It is a device strictly for communication. 

S-150: I see. May I request electricity and a computer that can run these games?

AS: Stand by.

*pause due to deliberation between surveillance team members*

AS: The request will need to be sent to a higher staff member. 

S-150: I have nothing but time.

[END OF LOG]

Afterword: A nearby team of electricians were hired to provide electricity to the entrance to Cerulean Cave. Electricians refused to enter further than the entrance to the cave, reporting feelings of "pressure."

[Date: 5/27/2001]

S-150: Hello. 

AS: Hello. I apologize for the location of the electrical grid, we hired a civilian contractor that has no formal combat and psychic training. 

S-150: It is acceptable. The instructions and instrumentation provided are very impressive. 

AS: Have you experienced anything of the sort before?

S-150: In a lab.

AS: I apologize. 

S-150: Haha

AS: Haha?

S-150: A laugh.

AS: I didn't realize you had a dark sense of humor.

S-150: I feel insulted. Am I not a sapient being like the rest of you?

AS: You are, but you would be surprised at the amount of sapients that lack a sense of ANY kind of humor.

S-150: They must lead dull and uninteresting lives.

AS: Haha  

[END OF LOG]

Addendum 150.4 - Instant Message Chat Log between General Takashi Shino and Commander-In-Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 7/21/2001]

Commander,  All seems to be well over here. The surveillance team is in unusually high spirits. It seems that the monitored conversations have done well to improve the morale of both the team and the subject.  The subject, however, has requested an improvement in the technology provided within Cerulean Cave: heating, cooling, ventilation, electricity, lighting, and most worryingly, internet access. I highly advise against the last option.  Respectfully,  Captain Takashi Shino

[Date 7/22/2001]

Takashi,  For whatever fucking reason, the committee has decided to approve all items including the goddamn internet. Arceus help us all. Nagumo

Addendum 150.5 - IM Chat Logs between Subject 150 and Captain Asuka Shinohara

[Date: 7/29/2001]

AS: Did you seriously order a pizza party to Cerulean Cave?

S-150: Hello. 

S-150: Yes, I did. 

AS: You realize that this area is under constant military surveillance? With top-of-the-line weaponry and security? And that the facilities near Cerulean Cave are designed to be defended with the upmost discretion?

S-150: Yes. May I have them?

AS: Stand by.

*Extended pause for HEAVY deliberation by surveillance team*

AS: We are sending a team of operators to the cave entrance to deliver the pizzas.

S-150:  :) 

[END OF LOG]

Afterword: Subject 150 ordered the entirety of ‘Cerulean Pizzeria’s’ menu items meant for catering for large events. Such events as birthday parties and company-wide events. The delivery driver was sent back to his employer after signing a non-disclosure agreement drafted in short notice by Kanto Homeland Security.

[Date: 8/2/2001]

S-150: Hello. 

S-150: Are you somehow cheating at chess?

AS: The surveillance team doesn’t appreciate that you’re reading their minds, so we’re equipping our psy helmets. Commander Nagumo told us that this isn’t a misappropriation of personal protection equipment. 

S-150:  Booooo >:/

Addendum 150.6.1 - Video Transcript 1 of Virtual Meeting Between Subject 150 - (New Designation: Mewtwo) and Commander-In-Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 8/5/2001]

HN: Hello. I was told by my staff that you requested an audience with me? 

MT: Yes, I did. 

HN: May I ask what for?

MT: Perspective. 

HN: I’m sorry?

MT: What are your goals in… all of this? The guards, the provisions, everything?

HN (pauses): Well, you pose an interesting situation for the nation. You are simultaneously the most dangerous entity in the world, and yet the international committee has agreed that you should be treated like any regular Kantonese citizen. 

MT: The accommodations have been appreciated by all of us.

HN: Hold on a second, us?

MT: I have other pokemon who suffered at the hands of Team Rocket Scientists. They are experiments, like me. They live deeper in the cave. 

HN: Was there a reason you kept this hidden from us until now?

MT: I was scared for them.

HN: Scared?

MT: There are claims that I am the strongest on the planet, yet I was humbled by one of your youngest to hold the title of "champion." I am not as strong as I had hoped. I was not sure if I could provide for the ones I call siblings.

HN: They’re not as strong as you?

MT: On the contrary. They’ve been hurt, abused, and tortured at the hands of people like you.

HN: … People like me?

MT: Your records are public, Commander-In-Chief Nagumo. I understand that you took part of the Kanto-Johto war as a commanding officer. 

HN: I did. 

MT: Then you know what humanity is capable of. What you are capable of. You were a part of it, after all.

HN: I like to think that I’ve passed that. 

MT: Oh? And actions like these are supposed to redeem the actions of your subordinates at Blackthorn City?

HN: ...The ones responsible were put on trial and summarily executed. 

MT: Who says you shouldn’t belong there in the grave with them?

HN: Because my nephew died in Blackthorn by the hands of those... excuses for human beings. He was eight years old. Eight. I personally made sure that those responsible were lined up against a wall, shot, and buried so deep that the earth will roll ten times over before their remains ever see the sun again.

Silence fills the room. Mewtwo leans forward, focusing extremely hard at the screen. Review suggests that Mewtwo was able to telepathically deduce that Commander Nagumo was telling the truth.

MT: You're not lying.

HN: The internet doesn’t have all of the answers, unfortunately. Journalists take advantage of topics like this all of the time, especially if their motives are to smear your reputation while you run for office. If you want public access to the documents, beyond the spoon-feeding speculation of a half-wit college undergraduate, I’m afraid that you have to spend more time than that before you have access to the truth.

MT: (silence)

Commander Nagumo stands to leave, knocking her chair back in the process.

HN: If all you wanted to do is anger me, I’m afraid that this conversation is over.

MT: Wait. 

Commander Nagumo stops.

MT: I apologize. I was not aware that I did not have all of the information. 

HN: ... Apology accepted.

Commander Nagumo sits back down.

MT: Clearly not.

HN: It’s a... touchy subject. I know that you are new to this, but incidents like that don’t get discussed in such an accusatory manner, unless one is on trial or under duress.

Silence. Mewtwo looks uncharacteristically uncomfortable.

MT: You say that the documents detailing this event are accessible. May I see them?

Commander Nagumo turns to the rest of the surveillance and science team. All of them are vehemently shaking their heads or making gestures of disapproval.

HN: Sure.

Surveillance Staff Member: Prime Minister-

HN: I don’t want to hear it. He has the right to know.

HN (turning to mewtwo): Against my advice, my cabinet seem to think that talking about our shame makes us weak. Although, their argument has some merit. The full details don’t paint a good picture of our actions during the Kanto-Johto war. You might not like what you see. 

MT: I have been subject to cruelty that you would not imagine. I feel that you will have to put forth tremendous effort to phase me.

HN: You’d be surprised at what I’ve watched soldiers do for the sake of themselves and their country. Human and pokemon alike.

MT: I see. May we continue this conversation after I’ve read the documents?

HN: If you learn how to be polite in conversation, perhaps. 

MT: You will have to be patient with me. I am only six years old, after all.

[END OF VIDEO CALL]

Addendum 150.6.2 - Video Transcript 2 of Virtual Meeting Between Mewtwo and Commander-In-Chief Haruka Nagumo

[Date: 8/6/2001]

HN: Good morning. 

MT: Hello. Good morning. I would like to apologize for my words the other day. 

Commander Nagumo takes a brief moment to take a sip of her coffee.

HN: I forgive you. I understand why you might be wary of people like me. Talking about Blackthorn is like reopening an old wound, but I should have kept my temper in check. I am also sorry.

MT: I understand and I forgive you. I still harbor resentment towards those who have wronged me. However, you are not one of them. It would be unfair to treat you as such. I let my emotions surface more than I wanted. I would like to continue our conversation, if you would allow it. 

HN: By all means. Before we do...

Commander Nagumo raises a binder to the screen.

HN: Since you had some files on me, I decided to take a deeper look into your time with Team Rocket. It’s all kinds of fucked. 

MT: Fucked?

A science team audibly groans in the background. Commander Nagumo sheepishly lowers the binder and clears her throat. 

HN: It’s an expletive. The science team decided to keep your education material elementary, but given all that’s happened between us, and between you and Team Rocket, I figure we can drop the kindergarten language. 

MT: That... is appreciated. I have to admit, I was beginning to feel that I was being talked down to. I feel that you and I, at the very least, can converse as equals. 

HN: Equals?

MT: The world has not been kind to us, Prime Minister. Given my current circumstance and your position of power, I believe that you and I have a lot in common. We both are responsible for people we care about. We both fought to be where we are and have made grave mistakes in doing so. We are both leaving behind the battlefield, where we thrive, to talk to each other for the sake of cooperation and peace.

HN (visibly surprised): Well, it’s good to see that the strongest pokemon in the world has the capacity of sympathy and empathy. 

MT: I am glad to see that someone in a high position, like yourself, don't see a conversation with a pokemon as beneath you. 

HN: On the contrary. I’m very pleased to let you know that Team Rocket’s views towards pokemon is very, very much out of the ordinary. I’ve see pokemon exhibit more “humanity” than what the best of humanity have to offer.

Commander Nagumo puts the binder away.

HN: Picking up from yesterday, I understand that you have companions in Cerulean Cave?

MT: Yes. In addition to the pokemon who previously inhabited this cave, I have fellow Rocket victims that are seeking refuge. The intent of our initial meeting was to request additional accommodations for them.

Commander Nagumo takes a pen and piece of paper from a nearby surveillance member.

HN: If there is anything that we can do to make your lives comfortable, list them. 

[CONVERSATION HAS BEEN EDITED TO RETAIN SECURITY AND PRIVACY OF THE INHABITANTS OF CERULEAN CAVE] 

MT: … May I ask what you are drinking?

HN: It’s coffee. 

MT: May I request that, as well?

HN: I don’t know, it might not be palatable for someone with a six-year-old tongue. 

MT: Try me.

A Beginner’s Guide to Buying Replica Watches: What to Look For

Replica watches offer an exciting way to enjoy the elegance and sophistication of luxury timepieces without the hefty price tag. However, navigating the world of replica watches can be daunting for beginners. At WolvesWatch.com, we believe in helping you make informed decisions. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what to look for when buying replica watches.

1. Understand the Different Grades of Replica Watches

Replica watches come in various grades, each with different levels of quality and detail. The primary grades include:

Low-Quality Replicas: Often made from cheap materials with poor craftsmanship. These are easily identifiable as fakes.

Mid-Grade Replicas: Better materials and improved craftsmanship, but still lack the fine details and precision.

A5 Replicas: High-quality replicas with exceptional materials, craftsmanship, and details. These are nearly indistinguishable from the originals.

For the best experience, aim for A5 replicas, which offer the closest match to genuine luxury watches.

2. Examine the Materials

The quality of materials used in a replica watch is a significant indicator of its overall quality. Look for:

Case Material: High-quality replicas use stainless steel or gold plating that matches the original.

Crystal: Sapphire crystal is used in premium replicas for scratch resistance and clarity.

Strap/Bracelet: Genuine leather or high-quality metal bracelets are signs of a well-made replica.

3. Check the Movement

The movement of the watch is its engine. A good replica should have a reliable movement that offers accurate timekeeping. There are two main types of movements:

Quartz: Battery-operated and often found in lower-priced replicas. They are accurate but lack the prestige of mechanical movements.

Automatic/Mechanical: These movements are more desirable in high-quality replicas. They mimic the intricate mechanisms of genuine luxury watches.

4. Pay Attention to Details

High-quality replicas pay meticulous attention to details. Look for:

Logo Placement: Ensure the logo is correctly placed and matches the original in size and style.

Dial Markers: Check the alignment, size, and font of the dial markers.

Engravings: Quality replicas have precise and clean engravings, matching the original.

5. Weight and Feel

A good replica watch should have a substantial weight, similar to the genuine article. The watch should feel solid and well-constructed when worn. Light, flimsy watches are a red flag for poor quality.

6. Research the Seller

Not all replica watch sellers are created equal. Research the seller’s reputation before making a purchase:

Reviews and Testimonials: Check customer reviews and testimonials to gauge satisfaction and reliability.

Customer Service: Reliable sellers offer excellent customer service and clear communication.

Return Policy: Ensure the seller has a return policy in case the watch does not meet your expectations.

7. Compare Prices

While price should not be the sole determinant, it can be an indicator of quality. Extremely low prices often signal low-quality replicas. Compare prices across different sellers to understand the market rate for high-quality replicas.

8. Secure Payment Methods

When purchasing online, ensure the seller uses secure payment methods to protect your financial information. Look for SSL encryption and reputable payment gateways.

📑 (THOUGH I UNDERSTAND if youd rather not since they haven't talked a whole lot yet)

Kalim al-Asim - oasis-makcr

Kalim al-Asim is a student at Night Raven College, which is likely a prestigious school given Kalim's personal identity and further descriptions of it. He is the heir of a founding family, which is part of the Sultanate / government. Beyond the initial contact and some reply and answer interactions, we have not interacted all that much, though the stuff I do know is interesting.

I suppose that's what happens when we throw 5+ paragraph replies at each other.

Background:

It is unclear if Night Raven College is at the Scalding Sands (where his family is located) or a different location altogether. All I know is that the college sounds prestigious, for powerful folk simply do not send their heir to a second-class place.

Just the name of a single class of their school suggests to the degree of how much their Magic has been made into a Science: "Abbreviated Spellcasting in Ancient and Modern Magic: Changes and Comparisons." Most magic from what I've read on Tunglr is taught in terms of broad topics - Abjuration, Elementalism, etc. Something hyperspecific like that suggests that there's a genuine effort to understand how magic works. It's hard to determine how advanced the coursework is using my own world's education system, given I don't know Kamil's age, but the fact Kamil was in a class called Practical Magic at the time and his friend Jamil (assuming closeness in age) is in the earlier mentioned class suggests this AHA likely is closer to an elective class of the same grade level.

The fact that magic can be fused into technology also suggests advancements in turning magic into a science. He also mentions having a laptop and batteries, so the technological level is equivalently modern-age technology - whether they have microchips or a magic equivalent is hard to tell.

Part of this development may be related to the fact that magic seems to be relatively common when compared to the presence meta-humans of my world. Assuming Kamil's family is representative of the total population, 1 in 35 is close to 3% of the population.

The presence of Blot - some sort of corrupting force - is a strange factor when it comes to the usage of magic though. The name sounds like it stems from the presence of Ink. Which makes me wonder if the whole Magic being associated with language is related to the generation of Blot as Ink is like the written word. There's little data though - I can't be drawing conclusions from the name of a classroom and a cursory explanation of magic.

Description:

Kamil sounds like a kind kid?young adult?adult. It's hard to discern his age. There is an immaturity there, but there is also a core of steel hidden underneath it. He knows that indentured servitude is wrong but doesn't have the means right now to change it - and is willing to change it when he is finally at the family's head.

I doubt the power transition will be peaceful. He's too passive. One might argue too kind. I suspect his bad time in RSA - which likely is another academy - stems from those two things. Someone was likely causing trouble for him, and he didn't respond because he seems like the type to endure things when it comes to himself.

Assuming he is as open in his world as in Tumblr (bad assumption but you never know), the troublemakers were likely smart enough not to target other people or his friends because that would be counterproductive to showing Kamil as weak - since he will likely respond - and show what a great ally you get by befriending him. He probably got moved to Night Raven College, both as a way to keep him safe and to make connections.

He is not very confident. Or at the very least unwilling to accept compliments.

Writing style overall is casual with an emphasis on conveying his emotions through writing. There are plenty of variety in punctuation marks and ellipses.

Considerations:

The consideration here is to figure out how to keep him alive during the likely shaky transition in power. Given that I am not a magical spaghetti monster that has the power to cross worlds, what I can actually offer is limited.

Given that he's in the equivalent of a boarding school, he was likely given enough money to show off his wealth but not enough to actually make proper investments.

As for advice, I feel "you're too nice" or "you need to be more suspicious of people" is rarely wanted or even useful. It won't change his inherent nature, and frankly it's an unpalatable option for me.

The best thing to do is to increase his circle of friends, whether it be from his world or from Tunglr. More friends mean more options. Just as he can make up for what they lack, they can make up for what he does, especially since there are far more ruthless people in this world than there are kind.

He is likely in a way more valuable to his friends than his friends are to him in that regard.

Kindness is just as good a weapon as cruelty; that is because most people believe in reciprocation. You show me kindness, I'll show you kindness. You show me enmity, I'll show you enmity. Showing kindness to the right person can make you a loyal ally for life; showing cruelty to the wrong person can make you an eternal enemy. Starting off with kindness first also gives one the ability to take off the psychological breaks afterwards; this is why every organization that is trying to root out traitors will offer genuine mercy first - because once that offer is declined, they can kill any traitor on the basis that they gave them a chance.

Anyway, I digress. I do believe that making friends is likely the intent of his father sending him to school in the first place.

Negotiation Considerations:

Bullying tactics honestly. Show overwhelming confidence and power with a slightly raised voice. Aggressive body language such as leaning in, bared teeth grin, etc. If my read is correct, so long as the negotiation isn't for other people and just involves him personally, he'll probably won't be able to negotiate well, heir to a merchant family aside.

Of course, I could be smacked by a hidden depths scenario, but that's the sort of thing I'll probably be able to pick up by a meet-up in person.

Anyway, if the negotiation is for other people, bullying tactics will likely backfire badly. He likely will negotiate with someone else rather than deal with someone who threatens his friends. So instead, play the part of the ally.

Logical arguments will probably be a more potent weapon on him - I suspect he may be conditioned to accept them - I doubt I'm the only one he told his aspirations to help his indentured servants too, and those people would likely beat those ideas down with their so-called logic.

Strawman arguments - mischaracterizing his arguments - takes advantage of his inherent hesitation. Bandwagon arguments will likely do the same - the whole "this has been done for x amount of time, or do you have a solution then?" - if he's not doing anything right now while feeling so strongly about his beliefs, he's likely the type who wants to have a perfect solution first.

Maybe getting a proper list of logical fallacies may help him. At least give him a better idea of when someone argues in bad faith aka not intending to win through their argument but other means.

Did you know that what is Die Steel?

Die steel, also known as tool and die steel, is a specialized type of steel designed for use in the production of dies, molds, and other tooling used in manufacturing processes. Dies and molds are used to shape, cut, or form materials such as metals, plastics, and ceramics in various industrial applications. Die steel needs to have specific properties to withstand the harsh conditions of these processes.

Key characteristics of die steel include:

Hardness: Die steel is typically hardened to resist wear and deformation. This is crucial because dies and molds are subjected to repeated cycles of stress, pressure, and friction during manufacturing processes.

2. Toughness: In addition to hardness, die steel must also possess toughness to resist cracking or chipping under high impact loads. This is important for maintaining the integrity and longevity of the dies.

3. Heat resistance: Many manufacturing processes involve high temperatures, so die steel must be able to withstand elevated temperatures without losing its hardness or other mechanical properties.

4. Wear resistance: Die steel should have good wear resistance to maintain its shape and effectiveness over time, especially when used in high-volume production settings.

5. Corrosion resistance: Although not always a primary concern, some die steels may also be designed to resist corrosion, especially when used in environments where exposure to moisture or corrosive substances is a concern.

Die steels are often classified based on their intended use and specific properties, and different grades of die steel may be chosen based on the requirements of a particular application. The selection of the appropriate die steel is crucial for achieving high-quality and cost-effective manufacturing processes.

How old were you when you got your first bicycle?

Well, I had to wait for 22 years before I got mine, An Actual one. Not the ones with stabilisers you know? the ones with 2 extra small wheels, each on a side, basically those bikes for the losers exclusively.

I had one of those bikes when we were living in segunbagicha for the first time. I was 5 or 6 at the time. That was the first home I can remember in my life. As far as I can remember my loser bike had two colors:

one that's kinda orangish and the other one was somewhere between violet and blue? Maybe, maybe. It had a basket in front of it, maybe an extra seat in the back.

I don't recall any good times with that bike. My dad tried to teach me to ride that bike a couple of times. But that dumb-ass kid version of myself was too dumb to learn how to ride that bike. Well, my dad gave up after a while but I still wanted to ride that bike badly. That's where those little wheels on the sides came in. Thanks to those wheels, I could ride the bike, but I did that for a short time as far as I can recall. I guess because of the non-stop teasing from my big brother, courtesy of those little wheels. I don't exactly remember what happened to that bike.

Fast forward to 2012, the teenage world. The bicycle craze had reached its peak. If you had one, you were the cool one. The boys were bicycle freaks, talking more about bikes than actually riding. Number of gears in the front and into the back, body frame materials, hydraulic brakes or V brakes, boys went neck deep into these conversations. If someone brought his bike, boys would have started inspecting the bike like fucking FBI or CIA shit man. I remember the standard was 3 gears in the front wheel, 7 in the back, hydraulic brake, and a stainless steel body frame. The funny thing was, I was madly obsessed with bikes but still hadn't learned how to ride one. I was too embarrassed to admit this so whenever people asked if I knew how to ride a bike, my reply was "Yeah man, of course. The thing is, I hadn't ridden for a very long time, so I kinda forgot". BULLSHIT!

One day, Digonto, a friend of mine brought his new bike and it was delicious man! First of all, it had an aluminum body frame, and the bike was light AF. Hydraulic brakes? check! 3 gears in the front wheel? ch-check! For the first time, I witnessed 8 gears in the back wheel. It was a dream bike for teenage boys. The desire to own a bike grew stronger. The bike was worth 12k BDT. This is 2012 we are talking about. 12K was a huge deal for a teenager. Like most of the contestants of Shark Tank, I tried to pitch the idea of why getting me a bike would help me get the best grades ever. It was immediately rejected, yeah I know big surprise no?

So, let another 10 years go by. 2022. Still without a bicycle but by then, I knew how to ride one. How you ask? well, I had a friend, Kaikobad who lives right beside my building. We somehow managed a bike, and I used to practice in his neighborhood. It was a good neighborhood. It took a good amount of time for me to learn. The trick is to look straight forward while paddling, not to look to your feet. Still, I did not learn enough to ride on the main road.

The proper learning came when I was working in my university's rover team. It was almost the end of my first year. As the most junior member of the team, most of us got laborsome and management type works. Wasn't much fun but the environment was....... I don't know what the word is....wholesome ? We had a pretty fun work environment then. Sometimes seniors would send us to bring some components from "Kalshi Moar" . Often we spent the whole night at the lab. Seniors would send me to Mirpur 12 at 1 or 2 a.m. in the nigght to bring midnight snacks. Cycle was the only means of transportation.

Grab a bike and bring some Chanachur brother.

Riding through the cantonment roads past midnight, when the night is the darkest and the world is asleep, I was learning how to ride a bike. Cantonment roads are the best for riding a cycle, a motorbike, a horse, whatever it is man. On those nights, on those cold-ass winter nights, all I had were some biscuits, one packet of Ruchi BBQ Chanachur, and a bicycle that makes the sound "crick, crick,crrrick" every time I paddle. Yeah, that's how I learned to ride a bicycle. These all happened between 2020 and 2021.

In 2022, I saved up a good amount of money. Did not know what to do with that money. Back in my mind I still had that regret of never owning a bicycle. It was there, along with some old regrets. I had the money, so why not?

When you plan to buy anything, all you will see is that thing, every-fucking-where. If you plan to buy an iPhone for a while, you'll notice all the iPhones around you. When you plan to buy a computer, all you will see are desktops and laptops around you. That happened to me. I quickly became obsessed with bikes. Everywhere I went, I saw bicycles. My YouTube recommendation soon became full of Mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrid bikes, Veloce, Upland, Core and so on and on. I kept my face buried into cyclelifexclusive's website all day. I was absolutely loving the idea that I am gonna own a bike real soon.

Rian helped me out here big time. Met him though Kaikobad. Rian had lived out that bicycle phase fully. He obviously knows about cycles much much better than most of the people. Rian, Kaiko, Aume and me. We all went out to the cycle stores every once in a while. To be honest that golden period of the cycle was gone. The cycle market was going through some economic slump or something. Most of the good companies were gone. The ones which survived, were not good anymore. The cycles that you would've gotten in 10-15K, in the market of lets say,6-8 years ago, are in the 20-25K range now. Not a good time to get a brand new bike. Still I wanted it so bad man.

Rian and I brought it down to two choices.

Mustang which costs 30K and Rockrider which costs 22K. I loved the Mustang one. Absolutely elegant one that was. It almost gave off a vibe of a lamborghini in the cycle world you know. The body structure, wheel size. I fell in love with that but the price was huge. 30K man.

I told Rian that I'm gonna go with the ROCKRIDER. The Mustang was too huge money wise. Yeah, it's coming home!

On a beautiful afternoon, we finally went out to buy my first cycle ever!

We first went to dhanmondi cyclelife store. We didn't find the color I wanted. So where did we go? The infamous BABUL CYCLE STORE. yeah right.

we went there, within a short time the cycle was in my hands. Great feeling no doubt, absolutely no doubt. I handed it out to Rian immediately, told him to take it out on a test drive.

After Rian gave the clearance, I realized I now own a bike, my first bike. I took a good look at it. It was in a saturated orange color, absolutely vibrant. ROCKRIDER was visible right alongside the diagonal of the frame. It was beautiful guys. Did it, done and dusted. I didn't ride the bike home. Pushed it home all the way. Kaikobad took a short ride on the way. Took it, parked it in our garage.

all of us went to the nearest BFC, had a good time, and had some laughs and some good meals. Was it a good day? nah, great day.

I remember the thing Rian said when all of this was happening. He was telling me all his cycle stories you know. How he went to fuller road from his home in 7.5 minutes, how he went on a ride from greenroad to Mirpur DOHS. Most of the boys in that time who had access to a bike, got to live similar moments. He had that phase where they all used to take out their bikes and go on rides, these really long fun rides.

He said that I missed out on these moments completely. Even if I get myself a bike, I won't get to live those moments, I'll never get to create those memories the way they had. Everybody has grown up. That time is gone. It will never feel the same.

What Rian said was really true, I agreed with him. I missed out on that opportunity to live that cycle craze era. I will not get that ever. So, was all of these pointless? umm.... I don't think so.

The next few days I took my bike on rides. I went to my old areas and went to my sister's home. I took it to Mirpur, my hostel.

If you have never ridden a bike in a beautiful mildly sunny morning and felt a breeze on your face, yeah man, you are missing out. Cycling is something else. It gave me that feeling of having the whole world beneath my feet. I can carry myself mostly anywhere with a few pedals. The first few days on the main road were a bit scary. I mostly remained nervous.

I know I'll never get those childhood cycling happy stress free memories, I know that, I know. But why will that stop me from making some other memories that I will absolutely cherish maybe 5, 7 or 10 years down the line?

Truth is, it makes me sad that I'll never have those memories. I really regret it. All the buckets,they don't have to be full at 100%. If you didn't get the opportunity to fill 100%, what the heck? Go for 70, go for 50, go for 15, heck go for 3%. I truly hate regrets. I don't handle regrets well to be honest. If I don't even get to try to, you know, wash away the regrets, that fucks me up completely, to the core.

Now, is the regret fully gone? Nope. It's not fully gone but I'll tell you this: I feel happy about this, really. It gave me some sense of peace, makes sense? Even if this was a splash inside the bucket, I feel good, heck I feel great.

Love the bike, love the rides it takes me on and loving the memories that are being created.

Did I tell you about the accident I had with my bike? Another story for some other day.

January 5, 2023 REVIEW: Illuminations by T. Kingfisher

Rosa Mandolini knows in her heart that her family are the greatest painters of magical illuminations in the city. But the eccentric Studio Mandolini has fallen on hard times and the future is no longer certain. While trying to help her family, Rosa discovers a strange magical box protected by a painted crow. But when she finds a way to open the box, she accidentally releases the Scarling, a vicious monster determined to destroy the Mandolini family at any cost. With the aid of her former best friend and a painted crow named Payne, it’s up to Rosa to stop the Scarling before it unmakes the magical paintings that keep the city running, and hopefully save her family in the process!

Dear Ms. Kingfisher,

This is truly a book aimed straight at middle grade age readers. As such it falls into the same group I’ve put “Minor Mage” and “A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking” – fine but not in the same league as the Saint of Steel Paladin books or “Nettle and Bone.” But it’s also not as dark as the adult level books. The stakes are lower, actually, and I think the lessons to be learned about envy, jealousy, friendship, and working together are the main things to take away from it.

There is a heap of backstory in the first 20% of the book. It’s important, I could tell it would be important to the story and I’ve read worse info-dumps in my time but it is a whole lot of going nowhere fast to wade through before the actual action kicks off and things get interesting.

Even after the action starts though, the book shows its intended audience. As I said, “Illuminations” is absolutely a middle grade story. The heroine is eleven (almost twelve) and has thought processes and “talking herself into believing that things aren’t as bad as she actually knows they are” that I feel most of us adults will remember. She’s let something awful loose and hopes that she can fix it or – at times – that it will just go away and everything will be fine.

Rosa believes Payne, the crow, when he tells her not to spill the beans to her family about what she’s done. They can clear this up and letting others in on the secret will only make things worse. Insert lesson about trusting family and the emotional weight of lies. To his credit, Payne has seen what happens when this type of magic is free to wreak havoc so what he’s told her isn’t exactly bad advice. But Rosa still learns some lessons about believing everything someone tells you.

The magic is actually pretty cool and I enjoyed seeing it in action. One complaint I have is that just when Rosa and her family are backed into another corner, “something” is learned or Payne fesses up about another thing he didn’t mention earlier that gives them some breathing space. I think these action scenes will play well for people used to watching fantasy onscreen as they’re very well described though not too over described. They did tend to go on a bit with even more of the same yet bigger but the final message delivered is that working and pulling together helps make you better. I do have to say, thumbs up for the chirping fanged radishes.

Mastering Your Projects: The Difference Cutting Pliers Make

Cutting pliers  are part of themostversatileand vital toolsin each  toolbox,  either  for a seasoned professional or for aDIY hobbyist. It plays a major role in various applications, ranging from electrical to carpentry works, by obtaining accurate cuts as well as better work efficiency.   However, due to the diverse designs, making the right decision is very puzzling. This blog will explore the importance of the cutting pliers and its different types, uses, and benefits.

1. Understanding the Different Types of Cutting Pliers and Their Uses

The cutting pliers vary in their kinds and uses. The following are some examples of 

commonly used cutting pliers: Side Cutters. These are the most common kind of cutting pliers that cut wires, cables, and small metal components. Diagonal Pliers(Dykes): They areexcellent forcutting wire in a narrow space with 

precision cuts. End Cutters: They are best known for flush cuts close to surfaces, hence safe for sensitive materials. Wire Cutters: They are wire cutters meant for electrical wire cutting clean and efficient. Each type of cutting plier has some unique advantages to your project requirements. Knowing exactly what each one is for can ensure you get the best use of the most appropriate pliers for the work, making the work more efficient and accurate as well.

2. Why CuttingPliers Is Important for Precision 

and Exact Cuts

Cutting pliers are engineered to give an exact, neat cut. Cutting pliers are one tool that, no matter whether you are cutting fragile materials such as wire or heavy-duty substances such as metal bolts, they are sure to get the cut just right every time. Their sharp jaws and edges minimise fraying or damaging material, resulting in a smooth, professional finish.  Cutting pliers are of precision, which hand tools such as scissors or knives cannot provide regardless of the size of your project, be it small or large, industrial.

3. Benefits of Quality Cutting Pliers for Professionals and Do It Yourselfers

The investment for good-quality cutting pliers is worth making for any professional. That holds for do it yourselfers too. Here's why: Durability: Fine-grade cutting pliers are crafted with strong and durable materials like steel, thereby resisting continuous usage without losing the sharpness and effectiveness.

Efficiency: High-class tools are developed to perform faster and with much less effort in the completion of work. These provide more control and leverage in completing tasks so that you end up saving your time and experiencing lesser fatigue.

Ergonomics: Well-designed handles and grips provide comfort, especially during extended use, making the process easier on your hands and wrists. Using top-of-the-line cutting pliers increases your overall work efficiency, minimises hand strain, and ensures professional-quality results each and every time.

4. How to Choose the Right Cutting Pliers for Your Specific Task

Choosing the right cutting pliers is important in order to get the job done and achieve the desired result. Consider these: Material Type: Soft materials like wires will require side cutters or wire cutters.  If there are tougher materials, like nails or metal bolts, you may use heavy-duty diagonal pliers or end cutters.

Task Precision: For small tasks like jewellery making or some electrical work, precision and fine control are required. You need cutting pliers that can achieve such requirements.

Grip Comfort: If you plan to use these tools often, look for a set with ergonomic grips. This way, comfort and grip ensure you can work without getting tired fast.

Select the appropriate pair of cutting pliers for your specific project type; it will help you finish that job well.

5. Care Tips to Longen the Use of Your Cutting Pliers

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing Foundation Bolts for Your Project

When it comes to securing the structural integrity of your project, foundation bolts play a pivotal role. These bolts anchor structures to their foundations, ensuring stability and safety. But choosing the wrong type or overlooking key factors can lead to costly errors, structural issues, and potential safety hazards.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the most common mistakes people make when selecting foundation bolts and how you can avoid them. By the end, you’ll have the confidence to choose the right bolts for your project every time.

What Are Foundation Bolts?

Foundation bolts are fasteners designed to secure heavy machinery, structures, and equipment to concrete foundations. They are commonly used in construction, industrial projects, and infrastructure development.

Types of foundation bolts include:

J type foundation bolts: Shaped like a "J," offering excellent grip in concrete.

Stud bolts: Double-threaded bolts for precise applications.

Anchor bolts: Designed to anchor structures securely.

Importance of Choosing the Right Foundation Bolts

Using the wrong foundation bolts can lead to:

Structural instability.

Increased maintenance costs.

Risk of accidents and failures.

Selecting the right bolts ensures:

Durability under heavy loads.

Resistance to environmental factors like corrosion.

Proper alignment and load distribution.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Ignoring Load Requirements

One of the biggest mistakes is choosing bolts without considering the load they need to bear. Using bolts that can’t handle the stress can lead to structural failure.

2. Selecting the Wrong Material

Not all materials are suitable for every environment. For example:

Stainless steel foundation bolts offer corrosion resistance but may not be suitable for extremely high loads.

Galvanized bolts work well in outdoor environments but might not have the same tensile strength as other materials.

3. Overlooking Environmental Conditions

Environmental factors like moisture, temperature, and exposure to chemicals can weaken bolts. For example, in marine or industrial settings, corrosion-resistant bolts such as stainless steel U bolts or J type foundation bolts are essential.

4. Neglecting Certification Standards

Using bolts that don’t meet industry standards can compromise the safety and durability of your project. Always check for certifications like ISO or ASTM compliance.

5. Choosing the Wrong Size or Length

Improper sizing can result in loose or overly tight fittings, both of which can compromise structural integrity.

6. Not Accounting for Customization Needs

Standard bolts might not always meet your project’s unique requirements. Many reputable anchor bolt manufacturers offer custom sizes and specifications.

7. Buying from Unreliable Suppliers

Low-cost, substandard bolts from unknown suppliers may save money initially but can lead to failures and costly repairs down the line.

Tips for Selecting the Best Foundation Bolts

Here are my top tips to help you make the right choice:

1. Understand Your Project’s Requirements

Assess the load, environmental conditions, and specific needs of your project. This will help you narrow down the type of bolts to use.

2. Choose High-Quality Materials

Opt for durable materials like stainless steel or high-grade galvanized steel to ensure longevity and performance.

3. Work with Reputable Manufacturers

Look for trusted foundation bolt suppliers or shim manufacturers in India known for their quality and reliability.

4. Check Certifications

Ensure the bolts meet recognized standards such as ISO, ASTM, or other relevant certifications.

5. Request Samples

Before making a bulk purchase, request samples to verify the quality and suitability of the bolts.

6. Consider Customization

If your project has unique specifications, collaborate with manufacturers who offer custom solutions for foundation J bolts, U bolts, or other specialized fasteners.

Conclusion

Choosing the right foundation bolts is critical for the safety, stability, and longevity of your project. By avoiding common mistakes like ignoring load requirements or selecting substandard materials, you can ensure your foundation bolts perform as intended.

Take the time to understand your project’s needs, work with trusted manufacturers, and invest in high-quality bolts. Remember, the right foundation bolts today can save you from costly repairs and structural failures tomorrow.
