'This guy's mega' - how Norris developed into world title contender

Lando Norris became McLaren's team leader in 2023, aged 23

McLaren Formula 1 boss Zak Brown has guided Lando Norris' career since 2015, and believed he was a future world champion "pretty much right away".

This could be the year Norris proves him right.

McLaren ended last season as constructors' champions and, barring unexpected surprises, Norris has the chance to build his flirtation with a title challenge against Red Bull's Max Verstappen last year into a full-on onslaught in 2025.

Brown is far from the only one who has long felt Norris was destined for the very top.

Stephanie Carlin, who worked with Norris throughout the junior categories and is now McLaren's F1 business operations director, also always believed he would make it.

“He was just phenomenally quick," Carlin says, "and he was able to execute it really well. There's been an underlying talent and speed and pace that's existed from the first time he got in a car."

'Everyone tells me he's the greatest thing since sliced bread'

Lando Norris (centre) after winning a Formula 4 race at Spa in 2015

Brown has been backing Norris, 25, since long before either were at McLaren.

Until Norris reached F1, the money to fund his career came from his father Adam, who became a multi-millionaire through success as a pensions trader.

Norris, who has dual Belgian nationality through his mother Cisca, was educated at Millfield in Somerset, but as his career blossomed it became increasingly hard to find time to attend school, and there was a fair bit of home tutoring involved.

Every step Norris took on track, he was a winner, but when it came time to move up to motor racing for 2014 after winning European and world karting titles, Adam Norris and manager Mark Berryman did not have the necessary contacts.

They turned to Brown - then the boss of a sports marketing agency called JMI, and well known in F1 as a deal maker and sponsor finder.

Initially, Brown felt "this is not what I do". But Norris' team were persistent. Brown says: "I thought: 'All right, everyone tells me he is the greatest thing since sliced bread, maybe I can help.'"

Brown set Norris up with a meeting with Ron Dennis, then boss of McLaren, and soon started helping him as he moved up through the ranks. "He just destroyed everybody in everything," says Brown.

'Welcome to Formula 1'

Norris (right) poses alongside Zak Brown and Fernando Alonso at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2018. It was the Spaniard's final race with McLaren with Norris replacing him the following year

By 2017, Brown was in charge of McLaren Racing, after Dennis was ousted by the other owners, and he began to lay out the steps for Norris to graduate to F1.

In January 2018, Brown paired 18-year-old Norris with then McLaren driver Fernando Alonso, a two-time F1 world champion, in the Daytona 24 Hours sportscar race in his United Autosports team.

Norris gave himself the target of setting a faster lap than Alonso - and achieved it. And stunned people with his pace in the wet at night before the car eventually retired.

"Fernando Alonso, one of the best racing drivers in the world, Lando was his match," Brown says. "Cold tyres, middle of the night Daytona, if you asked Richard Dean, who ran them, who was better, he wouldn't know."

When Alonso announced he was quitting F1 at the end of 2018, Norris was the obvious replacement, and McLaren started giving him experience in practice sessions.

Having proved faster than one McLaren race driver, Stoffel Vandoorne, in his first outing, his next was at Monza, with Alonso in the other car.

Brown recalls: "They're swapping times. Fernando has just set his time, so he's done, and obviously paying attention to what times Lando is doing.

"We come on the radio to Fernando and we go: 'Fernando, Lando's on a lap, get out of his way.'

"First sector, same 10th. Second sector, Lando is half a 10th up. Third sector, on the radio, Fernando: 'Sorry, I didn't see him.' Lando: 'Fernando just blocked me!' And we all just giggled on the pit wall, like, 'Welcome to Formula 1.'

"So when you see those things, you just think: 'This guy's mega.'"

How Norris' results have improved over the past two seasons

'You are a rock star'

A few races later, Norris jokingly served Alonso a cup of tea during a wet practice session at the US Grand Prix in Austin. But soon he was the apprentice no longer.

In his debut season in 2019, Norris was immediately a match for his team-mate Carlos Sainz, who had four years' experience, and he destroyed then seven-time race-winner Daniel Ricciardo when the Australian joined the team in 2021.

By then, Alonso had returned to F1 after two years in other categories. He and Norris swapped helmets. The Spaniard wrote on the one he gave to Norris: "You are a star - a rock star."

Norris quickly became a fan favourite, with his diffident-but-jokey personality, and willingness to show his true self on social media. His public profile built through the Covid-19 pandemic as he live-streamed himself playing video games, and he used that to build his gaming and lifestyle brand Quadrant.

Brown says: "He used to be very shy and he still kind of is a quiet, shy guy in his own way. Even though he kind of comes off as extroverted, he's actually not. But as he's become more mature, I have seen him become more comfortable in his skin.

"He has never lacked confidence. He was a young kid when I first met him, he was 14. So what I've seen outside of becoming a better racing driver, (is) a better team leader, more prescriptive in what he wants. And his on-track performance has grown with it."

It has taken time for Norris to establish himself as a front-runner in F1.

In their first few years together, the McLaren car was not fully competitive, although Norris came close to a win with a superb performance in Russia in 2021, only to misjudge the incoming weather and not pit for wet tyres in a late downpour.

Norris kept the faith, signing two contract extensions, despite interest from Red Bull. That, Brown says, was down to "relationships, transparency, visibility to what we were doing. He's comfortable here. This has been his family since day one."

Norris' career trajectory turned midway through 2023, a year that started with a restructuring of McLaren's engineering group by Andrea Stella, who had been made team principal the previous December.

The first fruit of Stella's reshuffle was an upgrade package for the Austrian Grand Prix in July 2023. It vaulted McLaren from close to the back to become the closest challengers to dominant Red Bull.

'I just could not believe his development'

Norris took his maiden pole position at the 2021 Russian Grand Prix. He was more than half a second clear of anyone else, and more than two seconds quicker than team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, who was fifth fastest

Carlin joined McLaren at the beginning of 2024. It had been more than five years since she had worked with Norris in F2.

"I sat in engineering and heard him giving feedback," she says, "and I was blown away. I just could not believe the development of this teenager I'd known, a very successful F2 driver and champion in F3 and F4. It was incredible."

Those first five years in F1 had turned a boy into a man, and a promising driver full of potential into one of the best in the world. But there was still learning to be done.

After a slow start to 2024, another upgrade for the Miami Grand Prix in May made McLaren absolutely competitive. Norris took his maiden win that weekend. He secured three further victories as it began to look as if he could challenge for the title.

In the end, the head start Verstappen established in the first five races of the year was too much. A few small Norris errors along the way did not help.

"I made my mistakes, and I learned a lot," Norris says. "The one thing I've learned is probably to believe in myself a bit more."

Norris is not one to shy away from his difficulties in public.

Berryman says: "I know he berates himself a little bit but he's always done that. We're trying to stop him doing it as much but he probably won't. He's a bit like Charles (Leclerc of Ferrari). They just say it how it is.

"The main thing from a Lando perspective is that I don't think there has been anything that he's not got considerably better at after review. On a development curve of Lando, we are not plateauing yet. We are still at a pretty high level of (growth) in terms of where he is hungry in looking at himself and helping himself."

Carlin adds: "Learning to be an F1 driver and learning to be a championship-contending F1 driver are two different things. And that's what we've talked about, in terms of learning how to win a race first of all, and learning how to win a world championship are two completely different campaigns."

There were signs by the end of last year that the lessons had been taken on board. Now it is down to Norris to deliver on them.

ages 2-6 (flexible, not mandatory): kindergarten

ages 6-10 (grades 1-4): elementary school

ages 10/11-16/17 (grades 5-10): "secondary school", the diploma qualifies you for an education outside of university (craft sector, social sector etc)

ages 16/17-18/19 (grades 11-12): "upper school", the diploma qualifies you for university

if there's a sanrio themed version of stuff she needs, she's getting it, no questions asked.

slightly allergic to dogs, she doesn't care though and cuddles with Curry all the time, she calls it confrontation therapy (it works)

loves cooking with her sisters and often shares her own recipes with Kanao, she also has her own little corner in Kanae's garden where she plants stuff that she uses to make her own medicine

has a lot on her plate with school and her clubs and some volunteer stuff she does here and there, so she goes to the local animal shelter once a week to cuddle and play with the cats and dogs there, it's her little safe zone to unwind and she doesn't tell anyone about it

the biggest fan of psychological thrillers you will ever meet

Tokito Muichiro (14, student)

in eighth grade and no one knows how he did it but everyone suspects that his brother took at least some of his exams in his place

he's not bad at school per se but he just can't memorize stuff, you're lucky if he knows your name after sitting next to each other for six months

is a member of the cooking club tho and absolutely thriving there, he never goes by recipe and creates the most delicious things but he won't tell anyone his secret ingredients because he can't remember them either

absolutely loves visiting his friends' houses, he's so happy seeing how their rooms reflect them

followed Yuichiro everywhere all throughout elementary school, then made his first friend in fifth grade (Tanjiro of course) and has been getting more and more independent ever since

constantly misses bus stops or takes trains in the wrong direction and is always late because of it, however he has also acquired an extensive knowledge of the town and can give you directions to pretty much everywhere

tries his very best to remember his friends' birthdays but forgets his own every year because it just kinda slips his mind that he has the same birthday as Yuichiro

[mariacallous]

Colleges and universities in the U.S. are facing some strong headwinds on enrollment figures, forcing some tough conversations. Inside Higher Ed recently published an article under the headline “Report Finds Higher Ed Sector Shrank by 2 Percent” along with the accompanying subhead “Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that nearly 100 institutions closed between the 2022–23 and 2023–24 academic years.” The term “enrollment cliff” gets thrown around a lot in higher education circles lately, and this article seems to offer some confirmation of those anxieties. But does the news call for panic?

After reading up and doing some of my own analysis, I’m going to argue that the closures we’ve seen to date are relatively small for the traditional higher ed sector as a whole, although of course they are very tough for those personally involved. But I’m also going to argue that there are underlying trends which may be very disruptive in the coming decade.

In the end, I will suggest that worry about college closures is largely misplaced. Worry about uneven enrollment trends and the accompanying elimination of programs at some schools is where the concern should lie.

In this discussion, I mostly concentrate on four-year private, nonprofit, and public institutions, as that’s what I know best. (For those who may be curious, according to the Digest of Education Statistics, 2020 enrollments in four-year, for-profit colleges were down by about half from their 2010 peak. Enrollment in two-year colleges was down about 40% from its 2010 peak.)

Recent closures are surging, again

Let’s start with a picture of college closures over the last three decades. This appears in Figure 1. The yellow line traces the number of all higher ed institutions, and the two other lines trace the same numbers among two major sector categories, for-profit (dark blue line) and not-for-profit (light blue line) institutions.  

The first thing to notice in the figure is that the most recent year has indeed shown a large uptick in college closures relative to during the pandemic, but fewer closures than those observed during the late 2010s (when many for-profits closed in anticipation of losing Pell-grant eligibility due to “gainful employment” regulations). Also, notice that the increase in closures is mostly driven by the closure of for-profit schools. About half the for-profit closures were vocational schools that operated below the associate degree level. In some part, the recent spate of for-profit closures took place in programs that were very similar to the profile of those involved in the pre-pandemic closure spike and might also have failed gainful employment metrics. This serves as a reminder that school closings are not always bad—vocational programs in which graduates don’t find jobs don’t help anyone very much.

The not-for-profit line in Figure 1 shows closures of four-year schools, combining both private nonprofit and public. (About an equal number of two-year schools, mostly public, closed this year, but are not presented separately in the figure.) While the number of closures of four-year schools has increased, so far we are talking about relatively few institutions. It’s also worth pointing out that sometimes when colleges “close,” they actually merge into another, surviving, institution. Depending on the nature of the merger, the damage to students and employees may—or may not—be substantially mitigated. (Harvard seems to have survived its 1999 merger with Radcliffe College.) Among the four-year schools I look at, the two public universities that closed were merged into another institution, while almost all the nonprofit privates closed without a merger. Robert Kelchen documents that “closures” among community colleges are sometimes just administrative consolidations with no campus closures.

Using Department of Education data, I have identified 17 four-year schools that either shut down completely in the last year or merged into another college. Is the closure of 17 schools a very bad thing or even a disaster? Well, it surely is if you’re a student who can’t complete your degree (some closing schools arrange teach-out programs with another college, but the research from the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association is not reassuring). It’s also a tough lot if you’re a long-time faculty member or staff who’s lost your job. Not much fun if you’re an alumnus either.  

Figure 2 shows the history of average enrollments for the schools that closed this year.

Two facts are striking. First, the schools that closed last year suffered from declining enrollments for years and were never large. Second, the closed schools were very small—in 2023, average enrollment at these schools had fallen to about 120 students. Nationwide, “only” a few thousand students were affected. Since there are something like 11 million four-year college students, we’re talking about closures affecting fewer than one in a thousand students.

Going forward: Where is the significant risk?

The closures we’ve seen so far just aren’t a big deal—unless you’re unlucky enough to be at one of the places that closed. However, I am less sanguine about the future. The key issue here is enrollment variability. Some institutions are at risk from enrollment pressures, while most aren’t. My institution, for example, receives over 110,000 applications. It’s not at any risk from enrollment declines, nor are other highly selective colleges.

Yet, there are many, many colleges that are quite small and not very selective and therefore at real risk from enrollment drops. The typical college in the United States is neither a football power nor a research factory. Half the colleges in the U.S. enroll fewer than 2,200 students. In fact, nearly a third of U.S. colleges enroll under 1,000 students. Some of these places are vulnerable.

Most private colleges survive financially on tuition. Public colleges also receive substantial state support of course, although sometimes the level of support also depends on enrollment. Despite public impressions, endowments really only provide major support at a few schools. If you look at all the college endowments in the country, six percent is at one school, 20% is held by the eight Ivy League schools, and half the national total is held at just 24 schools. For the vast majority of colleges, endowments provide a margin of excellence—but endowments don’t support the school.

But for the one-third of four-year schools with enrollments under 1,000 students, most have no endowment to tide them over any tough times. This means that going forward, there are a large number of schools vulnerable to small swings in enrollment.

This is particularly concerning since forecasts project a decline in the total number of high school graduates in the coming years. Nationwide, the Department of Education projects about a five percent drop in the number of new high school graduates by 2031. The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education forecasts a 12% drop by 2037. High school graduates are a leading indicator of subsequent college enrollment trends; though college-going rates have risen a little in recent years, it is not enough to counter the growing decline in high school graduates. So it’s very likely that there will be a modest drop nationwide in candidates to start college.

However, there is enormous geographic variation in these demographic trends. Consider the four states with the largest populations. The Department of Education forecasts about a 10% increase in the number of new high school graduates in Florida and Texas through 2031. If Florida and Texas ever face college enrollment difficulties, it won’t be because of a lack of potential entrants. As contrasting examples, deep drops in high school graduates—on the order of 15%—are forecast for California and New York. Similar drops are forecast for several other states. Even if the national drops are not of great concern, there are clearly some states where some advanced planning is called for.

What’s being missed: Program closures are the real risk

Most colleges are at no risk of closing, though some small schools and schools in some states may well be at risk. I suspect the real issue is going to be program eliminations and accompanying reductions-in-force as some schools downsize or rightsize even as others are growing. As an example, Inside Higher Education has a good story on program cuts in 10 universities in August alone and a story in September documenting cuts at another nine schools.

Even some of the nation’s most successful universities have undergone recent program closures. The Pennsylvania State University reduced employment by 10% at its regional campuses this spring as enrollment fell about 20%, even while enrollment at the flagship Penn State campus grew. Last year, West Virginia University, the state’s flagship school, announced cuts of 28 programs and elimination of 147 faculty positions. WVU’s enrollment has been more or less flat for the last five years, but is down about 16% over the last decade. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is closing its College of General Studies and removing 32 tenured faculty, having also seen about a 16% enrollment drop over the last decade. Most recently, St. Louis University has announced the need for large budget cuts in the face of a massive drop in international enrollment, which disproportionately contributes to tuition revenues.

There’s no single narrative or overall trend that perfectly describes the future of college enrollment. Colleges vary in their size, selectivity, and institutional resources and face different levels of threat from demographic shifts across the country. While college closures are hard for the students and employees of those institutions, it’s probably program eliminations within colleges that are likely to be the bigger story in the years to come. That’s something we don’t know a lot about yet.

[autoboros]

does auto have lore or does he have some stuff wrote about him or something?

Oh man I've got a lot on Auto

Like a Lot

I don't think I have anything written currently on hand that's fully up to date or organised so I guess I'll just try rewrite stuff here (it is a bit long even though I've summarised a lot forgive me)

Auto was born into the Octarian army, life in the domes was all he knew. He didn't have parents that he knew of or grew up with, but it's not something that ever bothered him since, again, this was all he knew. He would attend school there, and made two friends for life, and they'd quickly become inseperable.

They were great friends with their own interests. One who enjoyed mechanics and machinery, the other who enjoyed botanics and tending to the foliage, and Auto, who enjoyed strategy in combat. Each of them were rather quiet, the second one not learning how to speak until late into her infancy, but they all fit together perfectly. (Related; They are all autistic.)

As he grew up a little, he realised in his childhood that his goal would be to become an elite soldier. He always admired and took interest in the high ranks of his sector and their skills in combat. Years and years later, around 16, he'd achieve this, becoming one of the top ranking elites of his sector as he'd always wanted. He had practiced with a wide array of weapon classes, and found chargers and blasters to be his favourite.

A year into this, he realised he felt a little aimless without any further goals. He had just achieved the biggest thing he could go for in the underground, what else is there? He then learned of the surface, and this idea grabbed him. He'd go to the surface and seek out new opportunities. His friends were on board with this idea, and they wanted to make a new life together. One of his friends managed to make contact with the surface, contacting someone who would help retrieve them. Things were looking pretty good.

To make the already long story short, Auto escaped. He stayed with the friend from the surface - who would be my other main oc, Boro - and would await the arrival of the others. He was absolutely captivated by the surface and how different it was, but his wonder was held back by the anxiety of waiting.

In this time, he met Hiro, who was a friend of Boro's. He'd end up spending a lot of time with him, getting introduced to turf wars and anarchy battles through him. Auto quickly learned of his love for Tower Control, and found a favourite weapon in the Custom Splattershot Jr. He would also learn of his new feelings for Hiro. He had never felt something like this before, though, and didn't know what the hell he was feeling or how to deal with it, and it caused him a ton of emotional turmoil.

In the end, only one of his two friends had successfully escaped, the other being lost to sanitisation. This loss only worsened Auto's mental state. This was his lifelong best, dearest friend, and he lost her. He blamed himself for this to no end. He is only around 18 or 19 here - he still blames himself for it to this day.

The people close to him do their best to help him, though, and his mental state recovers slightly. Around this time, Hiro and Auto learn of their feelings for one another, and get into a very loving, close relationship, and his life basically stabilises from here onwards.

He's 23 now, and he has finally felt a semblance of happiness for the first time since the underground. A boyfriend who is his absolute world, friends he cares about and can rely on, goals and achievements he can feel proud of, hobbies he can enjoy... He feels happy. Despite it all, though, he still blames himself for the loss of his friend.

[wexhappyxfew]

shannon! hello! i was looking at your pinterest boards again (they're so aesthetic i love it!) and marty's really stood out to me! so i wanted to ask, what's his story like? any fun things about him? :)

OMG blu!!! ( @xxluckystrike ) hello!! :D i hope you're doing well! <3 (and thanks so much for stopping by the askbox!) AWWWWE thanks so much!!! :') that means so much to me omggg, my pinterest boards for my OCs are truly some of my favorite things to collect and put together - it just helps so much with writing, the vibes i try to go for, the aesthetic of course, quotes, face claims, scene inspo for them.....i could go on haha! it truly helps so so much for me, so i appreciate it SO much!! :)

my sweet bean marty!!! you can absolutely ask about him (and i am beyond happy to talk about him!) and i've been working with writing him a bit more for the fic and just !!!!! i love him so so much! :)

SO!!!! Marty - or to others Martin Armstrong, or to Esther, her little brother by about 14 months haha! In the story, we won't really see a *whole* lot about Marty face-to-face, but Esther thinks about him a lot and does mention him throughout the story when thinking about home and her childhood (two major things that hang off of her like a comfy cardigan). My best way to describe Marty is that not only is he Esther's brother, but he's tough as nails, intelligent, charming, resourceful, loyal, a ride-or-die type of friend, and one helluva medic out in the Pacific (corpsmen, he's in the Marines, but for sake of better word)!

Marty worked at the nearby Navy Yard, with a few school friends, but once Esther went to school and war rumblings crossed the Atlantic, he decided to sign up for the Marines - he wanted to be with the best of the best, and with Dad as a Marine, he wanted to follow in his footsteps. So when Esther went to work at Fort Bragg with W-Sector, Marty was sent to Parris Island, South Carolina where he underwent his training before being sent to the Pacific.

He gets close with a group of guys in the Marines his age - Charlie Godfrey (his closest friend in the platoon) along with Joey Merrie, Calvin Hindton, Glenn Jercovic, Roger Kaplan and Warren Whitwatcher. Fun fact: Charlie Godfrey's little sister, Flo, is on a certain base in Europe, working as a mechanic on the ‘Flying Fortresses’ throughout 1943, helping take care of a dog named Meatball (lol!).

Marty’s role in the story is really this enigma of being Esther’s brother and someone consistently important to her life (to then parallel another OC, Jeannie, the tragic story of her and her brother, Fitzgerald, but more on that another time).

Him being a medic is one of the things that really defines his character, especially being out in the pacific, and I purposely write some of his letters to Esther where he describes what that experience is like and what he goes through to further exemplify his character and his inherent need to help people. From the way Esther talks about him early on in the fic, you wouldn’t really *guess* that about him but the more we hear and see of him, and once he starts mentioning it, we see where that makes sense.

And if anything, Marty is VERY proud of his sister! :) [#1 supportive lil brother truly]

SO NOW…..a I have a moodboard and a snippet for you as a thank you for asking about him! :) ENJOYYYYY!!!!! He truly is one of my favorites and such a good person! <3

Another fun fact: Esther has brought up Marty 71 times and I only have 23 chapters written! Lol!

Everywhere she looked, she saw her brother; she saw Marty in the doorway to their home, with his backpack and long socks on his first day of 1st grade. She saw Marty at the kitchen table, his usual spot left open for him ever since that day he left. She saw him in the family room, not only in a few notable pictures, but in his usual slightly dented spot on the couch that the majority of people left open. Half the time it still felt like Marty was there.

BNHA Observations, speculations and assorted info: The facts taking place during BNHA second year: December

So, in order to write my fic, I spend much time observing canon scenes, comparing the manga and the anime version, take note of details, translations and info in them as well as finding out how are some things called.

Since what I noticed/speculated/found out can be of use for other fic authors I thought to share as well.

OBSERVATIONS, SPECULATIONS AND ASSORTED INFO:

You might notice a special focus on the Todoroki family as all their birthdays and statuses are listed. That’s because this timeline was originally meant to focus solely on them and then I included info about the other characters.

LEGENDA:

BNHA: “Boku no Hero Academia” manga.

UArch: “Boku no Hero Academia Ultra Archive”

SB: “Boku no Hero Academia: U.A. Hakusho (僕のヒーローアカデミア 雄英白書 Lit: “My Hero Academia: U.A. White Paper”)” called in English “My Hero Academia: School Briefs”

MOVIE 2: “Boku no Hero Academia The Movie ～HEROES: RISING���” [僕 (ぼく) のヒーローアカデミア THE (ザ) MOVIE (ムービー) ～ヒーローズ:ライジング ～ My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising]

TIMELINE (DECEMBER)

META LIBERATION ARMY ARC

BEGINNING OF DECEMBER: Todoroki Tōya/Dabi phones to Takami Keigo/Hawks asking him to kill a Hero who’s not the Number One. [BNHA Chap 231, 299 It could have happened at the end of November as well but since the attack with the High-End Nōmu happened at the end of November it's more likely Dabi waited a little before contacting Hawks]

DECEMBER 6: Todoroki Fuyumi turns 23.

DECEMBER: 2nd term final exam. [In Japan they're usually held during the first week of December]

EARLY DECEMBER (SUNDAY): Todoroki Shōto and Bakugō Katsuki license course ends with a final test and they finally gain their provisional Hero licence. Detnerat entered the hero support sector. Yotsubashi Rikiya/Re-Destro kills Miyashita and then he's informed his men have found someone connected to the League so he tells them to procede. Todoroki Shōto and Bakugō, who has gotten their licence by half a hour, stop some Villains. By night Re-Destro's men captures Okuta Kagerō/Giran who however had managed to erase his client list first and bring him to Re-Destro. [BNHA Chap 218-219]

DECEMBER: Hawks pretends to kill Best Jeanist to prove Dabi his loyalty to the league. [BNHA Chap 231]

DECEMBER (3 DAYS BEFORE RE-DESTRO CONTACT THE LEAGUE): One of Giran’s fingers, his middle finger, is found outside the residence of the leader of the Shie Hassaikai and his index finger is found in Hosu city terminal. [BNHA Chap 223. It's unclear if the index finger was found the same day as the middle finger or the day after]

DECEMBER (THE DAY BEFORE RE-DESTRO CONTACT THE LEAGUE): One of Giran’s fingers, his ring finger, is found on the Central Highway and his thumb is found in Kamino Ward. [BNHA Chap 223]

MID-DECEMBER: Chikazoku Tomoyasu/Skeptic recovers Giran’s client list. One of Giran’s fingers, his pinkie, is found in Fukuoka. Re-Destro phones to Bubaigawara Jin/Twice and challenges Shigaraki Tomura claiming if they don't do as they say, they'll reveal to the Heroes they're in Nīgata. After having Dabi, who was at the border between Mie prefecture and Shiga prefecture, join them, the League of Villains moves in Deika City in Aichi prefecture to fight the Liberation Army. Hawks is in Osaka with Best Jeanist’s body in a bag, waiting for Dabi to contact him with no results. Toga Himiko fights Kizuki Chitose/Curious and has a Quirk awakening that allows her to use Uraraka Ochako's Quirk with whom she murders Curious and her men, Twice defeats Skeptic's puppets and overcome his trauma becoming capable to use his Quirk in full. Dabi fights Geten. Deika is destroyed. Tomura Shigaraki also have a Quirk awakening, remembers his past, beats Re-Destro and becomes the new leader of the Metahuman Liberation Army. [BNHA Chap 223-239 A month and a Half after they met up with Garaki Kyūdai]

DECEMBER: Dabi contacts Hawks who then warns the HPSC and claims from then on their communications need to be in code as he’ll be monitored. Dabi and Hawks meet at night and the latter shows him the body of with Best Jeanist. Dabi had said body identified and preserved in one of their facilities. [BNHA Chap 240, 243]

DECEMBER (ONE WEEK AFTER DEIKA'S DESTRUCTION): The paranormal liberation front is born. Shigaraki Tomura is its leader. Dabi allows Hawks to take part to that moment. Dabi is a lieutenant of the Vanguard action guerrilla warfare regiment violet. Garaki Kyūdai volunteers to give him power in exchange for him bringing him something. [BNHA Chap 240, 258 One week has passed from Deika’s destruction]

HEROES RISING ARC

DECEMBER: Eraser Head explains his students about the 'practical hero work recommendation project'. [Movie 2 We don't know when this was done, it could have been done the previous month as well]

DECEMBER: Night. The League is moving a special cargo but they're chased by the Heroes. Todoroki Enji/Endeavor manages to stop them, but it turns out the League members are clone created by Twice and the chargo is missing. Said chargo was Nine who regroups with his men and explains while the experiment on him was a success the side effects of his Quirk has worsened. [Movie 2. It could be it was the same night as the one in which the paranormal liberation front is born as it was in that night Garaki Kyudai asked the League to retrieve something for him but it seems more logical to assume it was in another night, maybe the one after it.]

DECEMBER (A WEEK AFTER): Class A goes on Nabu island, an island without Heroes in the southern of Japan, for a 'practical hero work recommendation project'. While there Midoriya meets Shimano Katsuma and Shimano Mahoro. In the evening the people of the island they have helped gift them some food. At the Hero commission, Hawks, Madame President and her underling discuss how there had been continuous acts of violence against Heroes which deprived them of their Quirk by a week. The league wonders what they were carrying. In Kyūshū Mr. Shimano is attacked by Nine who takes his Quirk and then uses his power to bring devastation to the city. Katsuma asks help against a Villain but it's actually a projection done by Mahoro. [Movie 2. It's worth to point out Hawks by this point was already introduced to the paranormal liberation front and the dialogue confirms he's doing a secret investigation but, apparently, he has no transmitters on otherwise he wouldn't openly take part to a Hero commission meeting that would be overheard by Villains. Also Shigaraki Tomura seems in perfect good health so it should be short before he were to undergo the experiment as well]

DECEMBER (THE DAY AFTER): Mr. Shimano is in coma, his things stolen so he can't be identified. Hawks and Shigaraki Tomura are both on the scene of the attack. Katsuma apologizes to Midoriya. Nine attacks Nabu island, starting from the fishing harbor. While the students fight Nine's men, Midoriya saves Katsuma and Mahoro from Nine who wants Katsuma's Quirk. Mummy gets captured but Nine pursues Midoriya. Bakugō comes to help, they both get seriously injured but their friends manage to take them and the kids away while Nine gets knocked down by the side effect of the use of his power. [Movie 2]

DECEMBER (THE DAY AFTER): The people on the island is evacuated in a safe shelter and the students fight Nine and his men. Mr. Shimano wakes up and tells Hawks how his Quirk his cell activation but works only with whose of type A and that he's from Nabu island. Hawks then learns of a boat receiving an S.O.S. message from Nabu island. Bakugō and Midoriya share One for All and beat Nine. [Movie 2]

DECEMBER (THE DAY AFTER): The rescuers come to Nabu island. A badly beaten but still alive Nine faces Shigaraki Tomura who decays him. It's unclear if Mr. Shimano came back on the island on the same day but although the program got immediately suspended Class A remained on the island until they were scheduled to leave to help the people. [Movie 2]

DECEMBER (TIME AFTER): Last day of class A on the island. As the kids leave Katsuma and Mahoro come to tell them bye. [Movie 2]

DECEMBER: Bakugō Katsuki and Todoroki Shōto (Todoroki Shōto) get an interview. [BNHA Chap 241].

FINAL WEEK OF DECEMBER (9 DAYS AFTER DEIKA'S DESTRUCTION &, LIKELY, THE DAY AFTER THE INTERVIEW): Class A has a lesson about how to deal with media in a Hero interview training. Yagi Toshinori/All Might studies the story of the past vielders of All for One and, with Nezu, says it's almost time to announce the next round of work studies. The HPSC wants students take part in a ‘practical field testing’ aka resume working studies and the teachers discuss about it in a reunion. The HPSC also contacts Endeavor telling him to train his inters the best he can. [BNHA Chap 241-242, 246. 9 days after Deika City’s destruction. The commission requesting such thing, the teachers' reunion and the commission talking with Endeavor might have happened in different days]

DECEMBER: Class A does the typical end-of-year cleaning for each of their dorm rooms then some of them discuss the earthquakes that had started happening at night. Īda Tenya, Kōda Kōji, Kirishima Eijirō, Tokoyami Fumikage and Shōji Mezō, while chasing a crystal ball, ends up on some ground softer than usual, that suddenly gives in swallowing the boys up causing them to end in an underground place. Eventually Nezu finds them and sends them back to the dormitories. [SB 5]

FINAL WEEK OF DECEMBER (A FEW DAYS LATER) CHRISTMAS EVE - DECEMBER 24: During the teachers' meeting Nezu informs everyone he decided to let the students go back home, escorted by the teachers, for the new year eve, since no suspicious behavior took place in the 4 months they've been in the dormitory. He also informs of this the police and All Might, saying it's safe toassume no student is spying for the League. Christmas Eve party at U.A. school dormitory. Todoroki Shōto invites Midoriya and Bakugō to have a work study at his father’s agency. That night, while Eri is sleeping, almost all the teachers dresses all up as Santa and bring her presents. [BNHA Chap 242. SB 5. The students had been in dormitories by 4 months]

DECEMBER 25: Eri wakes up and finds plenty of presents and all the teachers sleeping in the lounge. Delighted she tells them about the presents. [SB 5]

DECEMBER 26: Starts winter break. [Usually this is the date in which it starts in Japanese schools]

DECEMBER 31 (NEW YEAR EVE): The students, escorted by the teachers, can go home and visit their families for one day. Midoriya spends time with his mother. Jirō Kyōka goes to watch her parents performing at a livehouse. Asui Tsuyu goes back home and finds her younger siblings now capable of taking care of the house. She has a phonecall with Mongose Habuko and then, later, her parents come back home. Todoroki Shōto and Todoroki Natsuo go back at home and find Todoroki Fuyumi preparing Soba. As she has to leave they try to finish her work with disastrous results. Endeavor is attacked by a Villain and, although he defeats him, this causes him to lose all the food he bought. Uraraka Ochako goes back to her family and takes part to their local tradition of the mochi-pounding event. [BNHA Chap 243 SB 5]

DECEMBER: Shigaraki Tomura hands his body to Garaki Kyudai so that the latter will make it even more powerful, although it'll take 4 months to be complete. Hawks learns in 4 months Shigaraki Tomura's body will be complete and the Meta Liberation Army will attack. [BNHA 245-246 It's unclear when exactly this happens, the visual might suggest Shigaraki started being experimented over on the 1st of JANUARY but, since Hawks warns Endeavor about the attack coming in 4 months on the 1st of JANUARY, it might be that the scene we see is only a flashback]

Activity description:

Volunteering at the ATP 250 Tour in Banja Luka.

Reflection:

In order to relax a bit before pre-mocks, Marija and I decided to apply to volunteer at Srpska Open. Firstly, we had an interview through a video call. They asked basic questions, such as where we go to school, have we volunteered before and where, why we decided to apply etc.Then we had another in-person interview a month later, and that is when we got asked to choose the sector that we want to volunteer at. A week later we got an email that we were accepted as VIP volunteers. We were very excited that we got the position that we wanted and more importantly, that we got to do it together.

One thing that we also really liked, is that we were obligated to follow a professional dress code, which meant that we could dress nicely.

The shifts were long and exhausting, but also very fun. Our job was to greet people who came to the VIP, such as the president and the mayor. Our job was also to make sure that no problems appear during the match.

However, the hard work payed off because we got to meet the world’s best tennis player Novak Djokovic and the tournament director Djordje Djokovic, as well as other globally known tennis players, which was a great honour.

Srpska Open was one of the first jobs that showed us what hard work looks like. It also helped us meet people from all around the world and extend our communication skills. And of course, we learned a lot about tennis 🎾

Best MBA Finance Colleges in Kolkata – Why GBS Stands Out

An MBA in Finance provides students with a strong foundation in financial principles and real-world applications, making it a highly sought-after specialization. Given that finance is the backbone of both private and public organizations, this field offers numerous lucrative career opportunities. Kolkata, known for its rich academic heritage, has emerged as a key destination for management education, housing some of the best business schools offering MBA and PGDM programs in Finance.

Kolkata’s thriving financial and commercial ecosystem, combined with its affordable cost of living, makes it an attractive choice for students. The city recently hosted the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS), which highlighted its potential as a business hub. With numerous corporate and entrepreneurial opportunities, the demand for skilled finance professionals continues to grow. The top MBA Finance colleges in Kolkata ensure that students receive both theoretical knowledge and practical exposure through internships and industry visits, boosting their employability.

Among the leading institutions, Globsyn Business School (GBS) stands out as one of the best colleges for finance aspirants. While GBS does not offer a traditional MBA in Finance, it provides a full-time AICTE-approved PGDM program with a specialization in Finance. With a legacy spanning over 23 years, GBS has built a reputation for industry-relevant education and has been recognized as the ‘Benchmark for Higher Education in Eastern India’ by the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF) Education IMPACT Award 2025.

GBS integrates technological innovation into its pedagogy through initiatives like Hybrid Classrooms, eGlobsyn, digital examination platforms, and an extensive eLibrary. The institute places a strong emphasis on experiential learning, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios. Activities such as Summer Internship Programs, Corporate Connect Sessions, Boardroom Simulations, and Live Projects equip students with hands-on experience and prepare them for leadership roles in the corporate world.

The placement record at GBS is another reason why it stands out among finance colleges in Kolkata. With over 100+ recruiters visiting the campus annually, students receive job offers from leading organizations, including the Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG), HDFC Bank, Exide Industries, and Asian Paints. The highest CTC offered in 2024 was ₹18.33 LPA, with an average package of ₹7.39 LPA. The top recruiting sectors include BFSI (27%), Business Consulting & Services (21%), and FMCG/FMCD (10%).

GBS offers flexible admission options, with both online and offline applications. Candidates must meet a minimum eligibility criterion of 50% aggregate marks in graduation and a 50th percentile score in CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT/ATMA. The selection process includes a Globsyn Admission Test (GAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). The institute also provides financial assistance through scholarships and education loans from leading banks.

For students seeking a rewarding career in finance, a PGDM in Finance from Globsyn Business School is an excellent choice. With its industry-aligned curriculum, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and strong corporate ties, GBS ensures that students graduate as skilled professionals ready to excel in the financial sector. Admissions for the current academic year are now open—apply today to secure your future in finance!
