#cfl draft

[dreamii-krybaby]

what made u like Yeva so much?? honestly i like Yeva too but idk why lmao

I actually had a draft explaining why I love Yeva so much NENEJWBSJEBEH

Buckle the fuck up, its long

Honestly I can’t remember exactly what it was that specifically made me appreciate her more, I think it was in EP4 where I started paying more attention to her. I think it was mostly her hidden lore that drew me. Tho upon EP3 I thought she was a very interesting character

Honestly every appearance she makes made me think more of how she is connected to the lore and made me start to slowly connecting some dots, like her being behind the Site-48 “incident”

And honestly every appearance also makes me wanna give her a hug, poor woman looked traumatized

Idk they are lot of interesting details regarding her, like how she still kept the exact same CFL outfit, the site-48 incident, her eye possibly getting blown off by the AS in EP6, giving an explanation to Doll’s eyepatch. Her eye and Doll’s eyes going from red to orange bc of the AS. And hatever the hell she saw with her now-husband in EP4.

My Roman empire is religious symbolism, so when I figured out that Yeva = Eve in russian I was in love

Also am sucker for character who have “illegal traumatized subject experiment” and “I may or may have gotten possessed by evil forces” plot

We gotta love possibly questionable, unstable, cannibalistic women with god powers

And also, am just naturally drawn to mysterious characters, they are fun. Even if people can consider bland characters or characters with very little info boring, to me it can be fun. Like tbh you rlly need a few small details regarding their personality and the rest can be up to you.

Also even if we have very info regarding her personality, the fandom and me where still able to get an idea on how she was and the different directions her personality can take

Bonus points for her being heavily implied to be Russian (am half-Russian, tho ironically I know very little Russian 💀)

Maybe you’re drawn to her visual designs or mysterious character or her lore or maybe some characteristic of her

Like one of the things that I think Yeva is known is apart from being close to Nori, is her “(0-0)” expressions she makes just like Doll does

So I live that despite the lack of screen time and no voice lines, she has a lot of lore hidden and connected. You are still able to pick up some details about her, like her personality and let’s not forget her death was a massive butterfly/Domino effect on the series.

7 Resolutions for a More Energy-Efficient Home

Adopting energy-efficient practices in your home not only helps reduce utility bills but also contributes to environmental conservation. As we look to improve our living spaces, setting resolutions for energy efficiency can lead to significant savings and a smaller carbon footprint. Here are seven practical resolutions to make your home more energy-efficient:

1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Appliances

Resolution: Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models that have the ENERGY STAR® label.

Why It Matters: Modern appliances are designed to use less energy while performing the same tasks as their older counterparts. Energy-efficient appliances can significantly lower your energy consumption and reduce utility bills.

Action Steps:

Research: Look for ENERGY STAR®-rated appliances when shopping for new refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and more.

Upgrade: Prioritize replacing older, less efficient appliances with new models.

2. Improve Home Insulation

Resolution: Enhance the insulation in your home to reduce heat loss in the winter and keep cool air inside during the summer.

Why It Matters: Proper insulation helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This can lead to lower energy consumption and improved comfort.

Action Steps:

Inspect: Check insulation levels in your attic, walls, and floors.

Upgrade: Add or replace insulation materials as needed, focusing on areas where heat loss or gain is significant.

3. Seal Air Leaks

Resolution: Identify and seal gaps and leaks around doors, windows, and other openings.

Why It Matters: Air leaks allow conditioned air to escape and unconditioned air to enter, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Sealing these leaks improves energy efficiency and comfort.

Action Steps:

Inspect: Use a smoke pencil or hand to detect drafts around windows, doors, and vents.

Seal: Apply weatherstripping, caulking, or foam sealant to close gaps and cracks.

4. Install Programmable or Smart Thermostats

Resolution: Upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat to optimize heating and cooling schedules.

Why It Matters: Programmable and smart thermostats can adjust the temperature based on your schedule or preferences, reducing energy use when you’re not at home or during off-peak times.

Upgrade: Consider installing dimmers or motion sensors to further enhance energy efficiency.

6. Optimize Water Heating

Resolution: Adjust your water heater settings and consider upgrading to a more efficient model.

Why It Matters: Water heating accounts for a significant portion of household energy use. Lowering the temperature setting or upgrading to a more efficient water heater can reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Action Steps:

Adjust: Set your water heater temperature to 120°F (49°C) for optimal efficiency.

Upgrade: Consider a tankless or high-efficiency water heater if your current unit is old or inefficient.

7. Enhance Home Energy Management

Resolution: Implement energy management practices to monitor and reduce overall energy use.

Why It Matters: Managing energy use more effectively can help identify areas where improvements are needed and track progress toward your efficiency goals.

Action Steps:

Monitor: Use energy monitors or smart meters to track your home’s energy consumption.

Evaluate: Regularly review your energy bills and usage patterns to identify opportunities for further savings.

Conclusion

I'm not the hashtag number one Yeva fan (that goes to you) but like I get you. Like girlie here went through The Horrors™ and they literally changed her way of being her (or at least that's how I see it,,) and NOONE BRINGS IT UP!!!!!!!!! I need everyone to talk about the lab gals RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!! Not just Nori but Yeva and Alice and 029!!!!! HOW CAN EVERYONE BESO BLIND?????

IKR?!?!?!

Also ty for giving me the #1 Yeva fan tittle 💅🏻

Also yeah I also believe all of the events that she went though changed her character drastically (she lost her girlboss privileges 😔)

Also YES?!?? I have a post in my draft bringing up on how fucked up the whole situation of the CFL drones where

The fact that they where being experimenting is horrifying but the fact its implied that they are also office workers is also cruel.

Also lets not forget that maybe some of these drones where probably marked for disassembly before arriving at the labs, like did they had owners? Did they remember their past life? Where some manufactory defects and got thrown out immediately? Did they get recalled? Was their first ever memory waking up in the labs? Also lets not forget THERE ARE TORTURE CHAMBERS

Like-

Alice was left for dead, was driven insane by the AS, and the AS tormented her so much she was even willing to do SH (smashing her head against the wall during the interview)

Nori got possessed and made the rest of the CFL drones see her as a monster and later was plaged with visions.

029 wanted to reach out to one of her colleagues before seeing them get mauled, only to become paralyzed by a sentinel and later to get her head chopped off by Alice.

And Yeva, ho boi….where do I even begin? Her eyes was blown off during an interview, possibly created a black hole while she was momentarily possessed causing the “gravitational forces detected at site-48”, had to witness Alice going berserk in the interview and possibly witnessed Nori’s massacre and her causing the core-collapse while possessed, maybe saw something at Camp 98.7.

And bc of her orange and yellow lights shown in the interview, the AS was clearly slowly gaining more control over her body in that time (which let me to my “possessed” = “created a black hole like Uzi did in EP6” = “site-48 incident” theory).

And lets not forget the amount of fucked up shit they had to witness or experienced, reminder that TORTURE CHAMBERS EXISTED, either they worked at them, or went through them or saw others go in there. And probably had to witness others lose their sanity. Like how many had drastic personality changes????

Also let’s not forget Beau too, like he was the MVP, like he also had a deep impact on the plot.

Kirat Raj Singh  Great Advice For Someone Seeking Information About Green Energy Technology

Kirat Raj Singh Professional tips provider. The Internet is a vast knowledge source, and there's so much new technology out there that sometimes the amount of information can be overwhelming. The tips in this article will teach you what you need to know to get started with green energy.

Buying energy-efficient light bulbs is a great way to save money and use green energy in your home. These light bulbs take a couple minutes to use their maximum brightness. This delay allows less energy to be used when turning on the lights in your home, which is a great way to save energy!

If you aren't home, use a window covering. This allows your home to be kept cool when you aren't there, and in addition, it helps keep energy costs down. South-facing windows get maximum sun. Install window coverings like heavy curtains, drapes, roman or roller shades, or blinds on all windows.

If switching your home to solar power is beyond your financial capabilities, try switching just one room, like a bedroom, to solar power. There are solar kits available online that can help you green a room, and this will positively affect your energy bills and carbon footprint for years to come.

If you are interested in alternative energy sources, you can start by contacting your current energy provider to see if they have anything to offer. Many companies are now able to harness power from solar and wind power. This may cost you more, as there is a price for the extra work involved in tapping these sources, but you will be doing the environment a favor!

Reverse the direction of the blades on your fan if you'd like to cut heating costs by as much as 10 percent! Although most people use fans for cooling, it's possible to use them to suck cold air up and make your home feel much warmer without turning up the heat.

Too often, the water heater allows water to reach a scalding temperature when trying to take a shower. Try turning the maximum heat on the water heater down by twenty degrees, and you will see a definite decrease in electricity costs. Tankless water heaters are another green energy option for anyone.

Kirat Raj Singh Qualified tips provider. Storm doors and windows can make air flow in the home better. Storm doors and windows will reduce the entrance of drafts and cold air. Your home's energy efficiency will increase by as much as 45% if you install storm windows and doors!

Use rechargeable batteries. While they might cost a little bit more initially, they will save you a lot of money in the long run. Rechargeable batteries can be used hundreds of times, and they only need to be replaced about every five years. Another benefit is that you aren't constantly adding corrosive batteries to the landfill.

Try switching to CFLs. The compact fluorescent bulbs tend to use about 75 percent less energy than the traditional incandescent bulbs do, plus they last around 10 times longer. They are pricier than the traditional bulbs, but it takes only a few months to make up for it in energy savings.

Find out about federal and local rebates for updates about renewable energy for your home. In many cases, the electric company will pay for part of the upgrades. If this is not possible, you can find out if upgrades can be used as tax deductions. You may also be able to get credits from the government, either state or federal. These tax savings can reduce the net cost of installing alternative energy technology considerably.

Carpooling for work and school activities can cut down on fuel usage. If you have children, organize a carpooling system with your neighbors and trade off driving days among all the participating parents. Plan your shopping days to correspond with those of your friends. That way you can share a vehicle and the costs of fuel.

Your electric company can be a great resource for taking a look at how you can make your house energy-efficient. You can look on the company's website for tool that track your energy consumption and tips for saving energy. Also look into any rebate programs which can help offset the cost of purchasing energy-efficient appliances.

Kirat Raj Singh Expert tips provider. Do not leave your freezer and refrigerator open for a long period of time. Of course this can spoil your food, but it can also use large amounts of energy. When you are cooking but you need food from the refrigerator or freezer, keep it closed after you get something out of it.

You can save energy by getting an automatic lighting system. Sensors will automatically detect when there is not enough natural light and your lighting system will be turned on at an intensity high enough to compensate with the declining natural light. This is a good solution if you tend to leave lights on.

Keep your fridge and freezer closed as often as possible. Refrigeration consumes about a third of your households total energy and constantly leaving your fridge and freezer open can increase the energy needed by up to 25%. Make sure that you know what you want before opening up your refrigerator.

Consider installing a solar powered hot water heater for your home. These systems use natural sunlight to heat the water in your home and are very green alternatives to using a standard power water heater. You will save a bunch of money using these systems because you are not wasting your money on power to heat your water.

Consider replacing the heating oil in your home with bio fuel. Bio fuel is non-toxic and biodegradable. It comes from things like animal fats and vegetable fats. It can be just as efficient as petroleum based oil, but the product will come at a significantly reduced cost. If you can't switch over entirely, consider talking to a technician to see if switching to a blend might be an option for you.

Kirat Raj Singh Most excellent service provider. Now that you have some information to work from, you can really get started on the road to going green. They're all super easy and affordable ways to make simple changes in your own home and life, in order to start taking advantage of green energy. The environment and your family will be thankful you did!

Unveiling the Art of Utility Cost Reduction: A Simple Guide to Savings

In our fast-paced world, where every penny counts, finding ways to cut down on utility costs has become a crucial aspect of managing our finances. From electricity bills to water expenses, the dollars can add up quickly. In this guide, we'll explore practical and straightforward strategies to help you navigate the maze of utility cost reduction, ensuring that your hard-earned money stays where it belongs – in your pocket.

Understanding Your Utility Bills: The First Step to Savings

Before diving into cost-cutting measures, it's essential to understand the breakdown of your utility bills. Most bills include charges for electricity, water, gas, and sometimes even trash disposal. Take a closer look at each section to identify where the majority of your expenses lie. This knowledge will serve as the foundation for targeted cost reduction.

Energy-Efficient Appliances: The Silent Saviors

Investing in energy-efficient appliances may seem like a significant upfront cost, but the long-term savings are well worth it. Appliances with the ENERGY STAR label are designed to consume less energy without compromising performance. From refrigerators to washing machines, making the switch to energy-efficient options can significantly reduce your electricity bill over time.

Let There Be Light, but Choose Wisely

Lighting contributes a substantial portion to your electricity bill, but simple changes can make a big impact. Consider replacing traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs. These alternatives not only last longer but also consume less energy, instantly putting a dent in your monthly utility costs.

Seal the Leaks: Weatherproofing Your Home

An often overlooked but effective method of utility cost reduction is weatherproofing your home. Check for drafts around windows and doors, and seal them with weatherstripping or caulking. This simple step helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling, and subsequently, lowering your energy bills.

Smart Thermostats: The Brain of Efficient Temperature Control

Controlling your home's temperature intelligently can lead to substantial savings. Smart thermostats learn your heating and cooling preferences, adjusting the temperature accordingly. They can also be programmed to reduce energy usage when you're away, ensuring you're not paying for comfort when it's unnecessary.

The Water-Wise Way: Cutting Down on Water Costs

Water bills can be a significant part of your utility expenses. To reduce these costs, start with small changes, such as fixing leaks promptly and installing low-flow faucets and showerheads. Additionally, consider collecting rainwater for outdoor plant watering, further decreasing your dependence on the municipal water supply.

Unplug and Save: The Phantom Menace of Energy Consumption

Did you know that even when your electronic devices are turned off, they can still consume energy? This phenomenon is known as "phantom energy" or "vampire power." To combat this, unplug chargers, electronics, and appliances when not in use. Alternatively, use power strips to easily disconnect multiple devices with a single switch.

Government Incentives and Rebates: A Treasure Trove of Savings

Many governments offer incentives and rebates for energy-efficient upgrades. Check with local authorities to see if there are any programs that can help offset the costs of installing solar panels, upgrading insulation, or purchasing energy-efficient appliances. These incentives can provide a welcome boost to your utility cost reduction efforts.

The Power of Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your home's systems can go a long way in preventing energy waste. Clean or replace air filters in heating and cooling systems, service your appliances, and ensure that your home's insulation is in good condition. These simple tasks not only enhance the efficiency of your home but also contribute to long-term utility savings.

Community Power: Grouping Up for Savings

Consider joining or forming a community group focused on utility cost reduction. Communities can negotiate bulk rates for utilities, share tips and strategies for saving, and even organize group purchases of energy-efficient appliances. The power of community collaboration can amplify individual efforts, resulting in more significant savings for everyone involved.

Conclusion: Your Roadmap to Sustainable Savings

In conclusion, utility cost reduction is not an unattainable goal reserved for experts. By implementing these simple and practical strategies, you can take control of your utility bills and save money without compromising comfort. From upgrading to energy-efficient appliances to sealing drafts and being mindful of phantom energy, every small step contributes to a more sustainable and budget-friendly lifestyle. Embrace these changes, and watch as your utility costs shrink, leaving you with more financial freedom for the things that truly matter. Contact us now!

Sealing gaps and cracks in your home's insulation and windows prevents drafts and keeps conditioned air from escaping. Proper insulation helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without overworking your heating or cooling system.

Maintain HVAC Systems

Regular maintenance of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems ensures they run efficiently. Change air filters as recommended and schedule professional check-ups to identify and fix any issues.

Energy-Efficient Appliances

When it's time to replace old appliances, look for Energy Star-rated models. These appliances are designed to use less energy without sacrificing performance.

Use Natural Lighting

Take advantage of natural light during the day to reduce the need for artificial lighting. Open curtains and blinds to let the sunshine in, and remember to turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.

Smart Water Use

Using hot water accounts for a significant portion of a household's energy consumption. Lower your water heater's temperature to around 120°F (49°C) and fix any leaks promptly. Consider washing your clothes in cold water whenever possible.

Energy-Efficient Windows

Investing in energy-efficient windows can significantly improve your home's insulation. Double-paned or low-E windows reduce heat transfer and save on heating and cooling costs.

Choose Energy-Efficient Transportation

Opt for eco-friendly transportation options whenever possible. Carpool, use public transit, or consider electric or hybrid vehicles to reduce your carbon footprint.

Opt for Natural Ventilation

During mild weather, use natural ventilation to regulate indoor temperature. Open windows and doors to create cross-ventilation that cools your living space without air conditioning.

Reduce Phantom Load

Phantom load, also known as standby power, occurs when devices consume energy while not in use. Unplug phone chargers, gaming consoles, and other electronics when they're not in use to eliminate this wasted energy.

Cook Efficiently

Use energy-efficient cooking methods, such as using lids on pots and pans, cooking with the right-sized burner, and using microwave ovens or toaster ovens for small meals.

Energy-Efficient Landscaping

Planting trees or shrubs strategically around your home can provide natural shade in summer and windbreaks in winter, reducing the workload on your heating and cooling systems.

Regularly Service Your Vehicle

Maintaining your vehicle in good condition, such as keeping tires properly inflated and having regular tune-ups, improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

Conclusion

Conserving energy is a collective responsibility that begins with individual actions. By implementing these energy-saving practices in your daily life, you contribute to environmental sustainability and save money on your energy bills. Small changes can lead to significant results in reducing energy consumption and preserving our planet for future generations. Embrace these energy conservation practices and inspire others to do the same for a more sustainable and efficient world.

Johnny Quinn | #1 Authentic Olympic Bobsledder

Each speech is handcrafted to perfectly align with your audience. He can deliver keynote, banquet and workshop style presentations. Johnny can also accommodate half-day, full day and multi-day conferences. There is no audience too big or small for Johnny Quinn.

Johnny Quinn declared for the NFL Draft in 2007 and was ranked in Top 10 at the wide receiver position in career receptions, career yards and career touchdowns at the collegiate level. 35 wide receivers went on to be selected in the 2007 NFL Draft and he was not one of them. Shortly after the draft concluded, Johnny signed his first free-agent contract with the Buffalo Bills.

He signed his second free-agent contract in 2008 with the Green Bay Packers. After bouncing around the NFL for two years, Johnny went on to play in the Canadian Football League (CFL) in 2009 as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Johnny’s team played the Montreal Alouettes in the 97th Grey Cup and lost 28-27 on a 33-yard field goal as time ran out.

CFL is heavily invested in the issue at SFU

You may have noticed the terrible end of a college football program in Canada and the many failed attempts to bring it back by now.

On April 4, university administrators led by President Joy Johnson and Athletic Director Theresa Hanson announced the immediate dissolution of Simon Fraser University's football program after 57 years. "We no longer believe we are giving an outstanding experience for student-athletes," Johnson said, "since the football situation has shifted substantially in recent years."

The Lone Star Conference (LSC), situated in Texas and connected with NCAA Division II, informed the British Columbia institution that it was making way for another local team and that the Red Leafs' two-year tenure in the LSC would be its last before the upcoming season.

Since the LSC schedule had already been issued, the decision was made to cancel the sport immediately rather than play a final season.

As expected, this sparked an outcry from program alums and other interested parties, including the Canadian Football League, the Canadian Football Players' Association, and the British Columbia Lions. Johnson and Hanson may have taken on more than they can handle with this project.

Lawyer and SFU Football Alumni Association member Glen Orris has taken the initiative to file a court order in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday to revive the program. Seven current players on the team filed the injunction, spanning in age from freshman to senior, alleging that the institution had broken its contract with the student-athletes.

It's impossible to predict how this will play out in court, but it has the potential to take a long time. No one seems to be lacking in enthusiasm, and that includes Doug Brown, a former Blue Bomber and Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee who played for SFU in the early to mid-1990s.

Instead of focusing on the future, this week's CFL Rundown will review the previous week in the three-down cycle.

A few more notes on the drama at SFU. You've got to feel bad for the football players suddenly without a team. They had just finished spring training when they were shut out, and now they have to deal with the emotional stress of being locked out while taking final examinations. The school will continue to honor football scholarships for the upcoming year, which is nice but overlooks the fact that many recipients will prefer to play elsewhere. You may sign a petition to bring the program back here.

It is hoped that the alums presently battling for the program's survival would remain involved to help get it back on solid ground if it is successful in its rescue attempt. SFU has been only treading water on the field for years, despite the obvious advantages of college and team sports. The Red Leafs have a winning percentage of.367, as they are 4-61 since 2015 and 186-321-2 overall. That isn't lovely.

I hope the game and the folks fighting for the software receive a second chance. Because I fear that eliminating a popular course from a university's curriculum may encourage students to stop attending. The future of the sport could be better as more people learn about the risks involved and fewer people sign up to play. This is why the CFL and other big players aren't willing to give up so easily.

The fourth time Chad Kelly made headlines was for the reason you'd expect. The Toronto Argonauts quarterback, who was a key part of The Boatman's dramatic comeback victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in last year's Grey Cup, discussed his aspirations to return to the NFL on a podcast earlier this month. Kelly, the last player selected in the 2017 NFL Draft and nephew of football great Jim Kelly, thinks he can force the NFL to take notice if he helps the Argonauts win consecutive championships.

He elaborated on why he isn't there right now, saying things like "teams don't want a scary backup that's going to take the starter's position" and that he's on a "s—t contract" in Toronto. Although 29-year-old Kelly had a stellar collegiate career at Ole Miss, I'll remind you that he threw for only 297 yards and two touchdowns when playing for the Toronto Argonauts in 2017. In what should be an intriguing season for the Argonauts, he will take over as the starting pivot.

Andrew Harris, who will take over the team in 2024, was meeting with potential new players on the West Coast. In February, the Canadian Junior Football League's Vancouver Island Raiders re-signed the Winnipeg native and four-time Grey Cup champion. He will serve as the club's director of football operations this year and as head coach beginning in 2020. This past weekend, he went to his first official event, an evaluation camp for high schools. Harris almost served as a player-coach for the Argos last year after he injured his pectoral muscle and received some coaching experience. Seeing him contribute to the program he has previously praised so enthusiastically is encouraging.

On Wednesday, the Roughriders made a huge announcement: they had extended the contract of Canadian receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker by two years. After a great year in which he caught 68 passes for 960 yards and five scores for Riderville, Schaffer-Baker has signed a new contract that will keep him there through the 2025 season. This is fantastic news for the Roughriders, not only because they get to keep a guy they drafted (2020 fourth-round, 30th overall) and nurtured, but also because it was widely assumed that Schaffer-Baker would leave for the NFL this offseason after receiving significant interest from the league. It's crucial to keep promising young players in the CFL, and it's even better if the child happens to be a Canadian.

Additionally, fans of the Roughriders can now enjoy online betting on sports with increased confidence in the team's success, given the continued presence of a talented player like Schaffer-Baker.
