— A Getting Into Digimon Master Post

▙▚ TOYS - ANIME - GAMES - COMICS & MANGA - NOVELS - CARDS ▞▟

I've been getting asked a couple times how to get into Digimon, so I figured I collect some posts and info in a master post!

Digimon is a multi media franchise, so there really is no one way to get into Digimon. But I hope this post can help people getting an idea what to look for.

Shout ot to wikimon.net for a ton of the information, and to Digimon Basic - an amazing resource for Digimon material!

▙▚ DIGIMON WEB

As I mentioned, Digimon is a multi media franchise, and there is some content of just general Digimon lore on Digimon Web. There some fun facts to read up upon! There's also the official Digimon Reference Book / Encyclopedia online.

• Digimon Encyclopedia • Appmon Encyclopedia • Agumon Expert Research Profiles • Digimon Journal

▙▚ TOYS

So Digimon, or Digital Monsters, originally started as a virtual pet toy. I made a Post about this origin and relation to the Tamagotchi frachise before. ▞▟ Check it out here >>

Besides that, Digimon released many many "Digivice" toys tying into the animes, but also figurines and much more. I don't have nearly enough expertise to cover them in more details, but there is a LOT! You can check out the LCD Toy history on the official website, and even that doesn't cover all of it!

▙▚ ANIME

The first and second season of the anime, and the surrounding movies, share a continuity, but aside from that all seasons are self contained and you can watch whichever you want.

Notably, Adventure recently got newly released blu rays with japanese audio and english subtitles! ▞▟ You can get them at the Crunchyroll shop >>

I know some people like the english dub, but personally, I honestly don't like it at all... I do really like the german dub, but I really recommend watching the Japanese version. It's my favorite and is considered canon.

▙▚ GAMES

Like the anime, Digimon games are almost all completely self contained. Essentially the only exception is a couple WonderSwan games centered around Ryo Akiyama. They're also almost all widely different! No Digimon game is truly like another! In the list below I put well known games in bold, and more obscure games, or the ones never released in the West in small. I also left out all "dead" mobile games.

▙▚ COMICS & MANGA

Digimon has several comic or manga adaptations, some longer but many short promotional works for new releases.

Although there's way more older Manga, I will start with a list of modern Comics/Manga, as we have received a variety recently!

The big one right now is Digimon Liberator! I've been loving it personally. It's a full color web comic, so it has not normal page layout and instead is just scrolling. When it first released I made a post with my Spoiler Free Opinion on the Prologue and Chapter one! ▞▟ Check it out here >> Read Digimon Liberator on the Official Website, GlobalComix or Webtoon!

But Liberator is actually not the only comic currently running!! Thanks to the Digimon Comic project we have FIVE more ongoing series to check out on the official Digimon Web site!

• Digimon Rikollection by Okutsuwa Waga • Digimon Paradox by Minato Ayumu • Digimon Knuckles by Soda Ichigo • Story of the Royal Knights by Yabuno Tenya • Digimon Seekers ~Witch of the Crossroads~ by Kariki Hajime

▙▚ NOVELS

There two big web Novels of note for the Digimon franchise. Firs one is Digimon Seekers, which ran from 2023-2024 and consistes of 4 Chapters plus an Epilogue. You can read it on the official Website, but many fans noted the english translation being not great at certain points, so some dedicated fans edited the translation to fix the issues.

The second is Digimon Liberator, which is not simply a novel version of the web comic, but instead tells the story from the perspective of a different protagonist! From what I can tell, the translation for this one is better, although they sometimes mess up the card effects, so make sure to read the actual cards, which are included as pictures.

• Digimon Seekers: Official - Fan Edited Translation • Digimon Liberator: Official Website

▙▚ CARDS

Finally, what this blog is all about really, the Card Game. There have been many Digimon Card Games over the years, but I'm really only familiar with the current one. If you want to try learning it, there is a tutorial app in the Play Store, and a Rules video on the official YouTube channel that covers the essentials. There are also Fan made simulators to play online, with dedicated fan bases that you will surely find people to play with or show you the ropes!

If you just like the look of some of the cards, I encourage you to check the pricing on cards you got your eyes on. If the card isn't insanely diffcult to get and important for meta decks, you have fairly good chances to get some gorgeous cards for reasonable prices! I also collect Pokémon Cards, and let me tell you, the production quality of the Digimon Cards is leagues above.

Victor theories. Contradictions and links

This is probably the last part of my theories about Vivi before his route came out. Most likely, they have nothing to do with reality, which we will see pretty soon. I will kill someone if Cybird release someone from Vogel first. Do you hear that, Cybird? I'll buy tamagotchi and kill it!!!!! You don't want that, do you? Poor defenseless little creature…

When I read other theories and events about Vivi, I had some thoughts, but I haven't finished them, haven't put them together, and… I think it's finally time to do it properly.

I should probably add warnings. I'm mentioning the details of Alfons and Harrison's routes. And also provide fragments of events that had not yet been in the EN game (only in JP). And… a bit about Azel's route (but I'm warning you about this, and you can easily skip to the next part without reading).

There were many events with Vivi. I made a list when started preparing for this post… Not all of them contain anything that I can use within the described boundaries, but they all provide few or many hints. So… it took some time to check. I hope I didn't miss anything.

If so… remind me, and I'll make one more "last post"… it becomes an endless story.

His personality

@maladaptivedaydreamsx assumed that Victor isn't his real name, but was given to him because of Queen. I thought about that as well. As I mentioned here, Victor thinks of himself in quotation marks, as if it's not his real name, but a role he's playing. And that actually sounds pretty fitting. On the surface, he's a cheerful and positive, with a sweet, mama-type vibe. But when we read the stories from his perspective, he feels completely different. Very dark and even scary. His thoughts show how much he notices and thinks before making any decisions, how much of a calculating bastard he really is (lovingly). But is his cheerful side a role he's playing? Or is it just part of his personality? From the Bond story "The Other Side"

and kiss event...

Victor insists that this is just a part of him. And I'm inclined to believe.

There is a theory that Victor is actually immortal. @.reccyls mentioned this here last time. And this theory is possible. Not only because Victor is so determined to treat all the members of Crown and Kate like children. But also because of this Willy's remark from the 1st Victor's birthday

There are two possibilities that Willy could be hinting at.

The first… Vivi is a god. The God of death.

But… this may have a different meaning. Vivi is very closed to God or any other immortal being. Vivi often talks about death as a living creature. Perhaps the fact that he is a "constant companion of death" makes him a kind of expert in this matter.

And that's why I tend to think that the second option is closer to the truth. It's from the very beginning of the same 1st birthday.

Yes, Harry often says that Victor lies a lot, but I don't think that applies to this situation. The wording is very strange. He doesn't seem happy about this fact. Like… "I wish I had more time". Maybe it's just me.

Oh, I forgot about another option. Vivi could have been a god, but now he's a human. This explains why he's so annoyed by the fact that he needs to sleep. Hmmm… I like that option.

If assumed he's a very old and powerful being… who, despite this, has not lost interest in life as such and can still find joy in it (reminds of someone, right?). How did the Queen manage to get him as her aid? A contract? We have another Black butler?

And if everyone thinks of him as a very strong person, then no one will ever assume that he needs anything. No one ever considers him human. This thought crossed my mind when I talked about the Mirror event, but I decided not to voice it. But… what the hell… this is the last post, where else should I talk about it?

It was the same with Azel (if you haven't read his route and don't want spoilers, skip right to the next point). People didn't see him as a human being, they only asked for help, advice, and so on… In their eyes, he was only giving, after all, he is God. But… this is a rather selfish way of thinking. Even if a person seems completely independent and strong, and… perfect… this doesn't mean that he has nothing to wish. I can easily imagine Vivi in this concept. And that explains why he was so surprised when Kate said she liked helping him or taking care of him. This has never happened before.

But he doesn't have to be an immortal being for people to consider him inhuman. He succeeds in everything he does, and people may think that he doesn't need anyone's help.

His contradictions

Kate described him very accurately at a Drunk event, translated by @.reccyls.

I would also add that he takes care of the garden and himself (see how his hair is… it's a lot of work, you know) and it looks like he's sleeping normally. My baby Ally has dark circles under her eyes due to lack of sleep. But Vivi… there is no such thing. So… Yes, he really seems like the perfect person.

But behind every great accomplishment is a lot of hard work. We don't know what it is… he just has a habit of using every second of his life to the fullest, or… a kind of magic. But he really does a lot, and… I can understand why he wants to… relax sometimes. He can't admit it for some reason (pride or some restrictions) but he wants to anyway. And at the same Drunken event, he tricked Kate into putting his head in her lap and hugging her. As if he needed a reason for that. It feels like he's constantly preventing himself from doing what he wants to do. At the very end of Butler's event ("Your Hand, My Lady" translated by @.reccyls) Willy hints at this...

He's happy because Victor is FINALLY doing what he wants to do.

I got the impression that curse of the boys is a sick joke of fate. It is contrary to their true nature. Like a absolutely honest and straightforward Harrison have to lie because his curse forces him to do so. Or Ally, who wanted only one thing in life... to be remembered, and the curse did not allow him to got this. So I see the same contradiction in Victor's behavior… is his curse. He is literally obsessed with the idea of freedom. And the way he lives makes it seem like he's not free at all. And his desire to get something for himself sometimes is like getting some fresh air before he finds himself back in the dusty tunnels�� He literally doesn't do ANYTHING for himself, he doesn't even ask others for anything. This is from the 2nd Cristmas event, translated by @.reccyls.

And this is from bond's story "About Freedom"

Despite the fact, he joked afterwards that he is as free as the wind. In this phrase, he said "I", not "you" or "people" in general. I'm sorry, Vivi, but I don't believe you're free. In fact, you've probably never been. That's why you dream about it. And it's a little sad.

Connections with the Queen

The bond between Vivi and the Queen is very strong and mysterious. He is absolutely devoted to her and literally does everything she says. But how long has he been doing this? Why does he feel like he belongs to her? As he told William at the very end of Butler event ("Your Hand, My Lady" translated by @.reccyls.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Black Butler. Sebas demonstrates absolute dedication without asking questions. And he is a demon who is devoted to man. Actually Vivi said at the first Christmas event (Wreck the halls) that he had made a deal with death…

Perhaps it has something to do with the Queen. I'm not saying that the Queen is the Death (we never know for sure), but the way he's devoted to her, and the way he convinced that the connection with death is not so easy to break, seems somehow similar. Indestructible.

@.velisle has posted a really huge post with facts and theories about Vivi… I added my thoughts here. There was a theory… That's the kid Victor talked about at the Secrets event…

...In fact, he is.

But there are two things that prevent me from thinking that way. The first… he doesn't know if the Queen could make them smiles. If he was that kid, he would know that.

And the second. If we assume that he is not a vampire or another magical creature that lives exceptionally long (or endless), then it is quite difficult to imagine. The calculation is simple. The game takes place around 1890. And the queen begins to rule in 1837. More than 50 years have passed since. And Victor looks like he's 40 at the most. So… He's NOT that kid, but… it could have been his parent or… an older sibling. Or… even someone related to Kate. I wouldn't be surprised if the developers link them so tightly.

@rou-luxe assumed that Victor made a promise to the Queen many years ago and continue fulfill it. It seems very correct, but at the same time not quite. No matter how much you like sticking to your promise, at some point you will feel tired or pressured to keep it. But here… he does it willingly, even with joy. So my idea… he is very grateful to the Queen. As if she had saved his life or given him a new life that he wouldn't have been able to get otherwise. This brings me back to my previous thought. That the Queen is not really human. But she is… at least the real Queen Victoria, who lived and died (which makes her a normal person). If it's just gratitude, then what exactly did she do for him to get him for a lifetime? This is… THE question!

Connections with Crown boys

We know that Vivi and Willy immediately clicked on the common desire to free people. The way we were shown Vivi's cursed ability (as I mentioned in a previous theory post) is somewhat similar to Willy's. I'll just add this part from the 1st birthday story.

We will not talk about that this is technically impossible to strangle yourself. Don't try to prove me wrong, check on Google.

The fact remains… Vivi orders the man to die or Death to take him away. But for some reason, his victim feels happy to follow this order.

It doesn't matter how, but the cursed ability of both of them (Victor and William) deprive a person of freedom. So… no wonder they understand each other so well, they literally went through the same struggles.

I don't think Vivi is particularly kind to Harry just because of his reaction (which is always so good). But also because he feels a little guilty about the death of Harry's father. He did not predict, did not find out, did not fix the problem in time. Yes, Vivi claims that he is not a kind, but rather an evil person, but he is a good teammate, he respects and helps all his partners. And he and Marco had a good team… From a distance, completely ignoring each other… but in the end, they really help each other a lot. So Vivi may feel guilty for missing something.

I didn't notice any special treatment for anyone else at the Crown. Well… Kate is an exception. But I would like to talk about her separately.

Connections with Kate

First the facts. Victor dragged Kate to the Crown because he thought it would help the boys. From his 1st birthday.

He said (will say) the same thing in the 1st anniversary (my summary). He thought she would change something. What does he think needs to be changed? He used a rather interesting phrase in 1st birthday...

Usually, when he said something like that, it's "succumb to your wickedness". Vivi often say that when he sends the boys to work. Did he assume that Kate would help them become better at their work? Is it related to work at all? Maybe about their course? Maybe it's about understanding themselves better? Or… about something completely different? But I tend to think he was looking for a way to combine them together.

They're all pretty strong and independent, they don't have much in common, they literally split into several groups, and he wanted to find a reason to unite them into one team. It's a very noble cause. He would probably reject such an idea as not fitting his wicked nature. Why do my favorite boys try to argue with me when I say good things about them? They're so weird.

But there's something he doesn't want her to know. Again from the 1st birthday...

It feels like he's afraid. It feels like he's been through something and doesn't want to make the same mistake again. Or he's constantly fighting… probably with his own curse… which forces him to do something to her (remember that his curse contradicts his essence). Vivi says something about it at the 1st Christmas event. This darkness demands that he stains her and whisks her away (I wrote about it here).

But his expectations of Kate really came true. She really brought change. And she even changed him. This is from his 2nd birthday story translated by @.reccyls.

It already looks like we're in the middle of his route. He feels that he is becoming less like an observer, he feels that he wants more for himself.

And now my assumptions, which, in fact, are based on nothing at all

The only thing we can be sure about is a kiss on the forehead. It was mentioned twice (I talked about it at the kiss event). The fact that Kate mentioned it twice means that developers are most likely to use it on one of the main routes. It could be Darius or someone we don't know about yet, but I think… that it's Victor. And it's not just his reaction to that kiss that makes me think so. But the DARK IF event.

I know it's an alternate world, but… the essence of the characters is the same, and it's quite interesting to imagine his main route through the prism of this event. Vivi's story hasn't been released yet, but in the second part of the event, there was a story for 95k points, and it's gorgeous. Translated by @.reccyls.

And this part is from a letter from this event. Not quite, but let's put it this way. Translated by @.reccyls.

The one and only. The soulmates. Actually, this theme is very strong at this event, and maybe I shouldn't even focus on it. But… for some reason, this concept seems very fitting for Vivi. The Vivi we know from Victorian London. And I really like to see this theme on at least one route in this game. Why not on Victor's, right?

So… my theory… Victor and Kate met when Kate was still a child. We haven't determined whether Victor is human or not, so I won't talk about him, but Kate was a child and witnessed something very bad. Something that could easily break the psyche for life. Victor solved the problem and kissed her on the forehead… and that's literally the only thing she remembers. It was probably just a short meeting, but for some reason they both remembered it. And now… after all these years, they meet again because they are destined to be together… I got goosebumps.

I think we should expect a second Tamamo route. With the "I want to be your friend so you won't be alone". They will work together, but this time she will help him with his work, and someone from his past will appear. Don't tell me he was a king as well… Thatever. And… so the hot scene will only be after the last avatar challenge (or even only in the epilogues).

Dark times are ahead... Patience to all of us.

@ethereal-blossom, Michelle, dear, I haven't found how to use your theories… my brain is burning up a bit after two days of thinking. But I'd like you to look at it. Maybe you could point out my mistakes or would like to add something. You know I'm always happy to read your thoughts.

“Cough CPR” is misinformation

What is “cough CPR”?

“Cough CPR” is a myth which claims that rhythmic coughing can reduce the impact of a heart attack. It has been circulating for over two decades via email and on social media platforms (Wikipedia, 2023).

Why doesn’t it work?

A heart attack happens when the blood flow to the heart is restricted due to blockage. Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops pumping completely (British Heart Foundation, n.d.).

These definitions alone should demonstrate the problem with “cough CPR”. If you have a heart attack, your heart is still pumping, so you do not need CPR. If you experience cardiac arrest, you will fall unconscious within seconds (Resuscitation Council UK, 2021) and therefore won’t be able to perform “cough CPR”.

In many cases, “cough CPR” could even worsen the problem or prove fatal if coughing is undertaken to the wrong rhythm (Snopes, 2003).

Is “cough CPR” ever useful?

Coughing creates pressure that forces blood to flow to the brain (Cleveland Clinic, 2020).

It may therefore be possible for someone experiencing sudden arrhythmia to maintain consciousness for a few seconds by coughing. However, the patient would already need to be under constant monitoring for the arrhythmia to be detected. It should also only be done at the instruction of a doctor, as a medical professional will still be needed to treat the abnormal heart rhythm (American Heart Association, 2023).

Cases where “cough CPR” has been useful have all been isolated incidents performed in this kind of clinical setting (see Snopes, 2003; UChicago Medicine, 2019; American Heart Association, 2023).

*with that fact out of the way

-I think Knuckles, Blaze and Silver would get along perfectly with Dream and Swap, them being compassionate hopeful guardians

-Mephiles and Nightmare are literally one of the same, the universe could not handle them at all

-Ink would get along with Sonic almost too well, they can have some adventure checking out Sonic's world and what not...

....

WITH THAT BEING SAID, EGGMAN WOULD TOTALLY MANIPULATE INK INTO HELPING HIM WITH SOME EVIL SHIT, he has done it before, he would totally do it now

-Different to popular belief I kinda think that Fell would NOT get along with Shadow, mostly because Shadow just trusts two whole people (and a robot) and that's it, but I can see them in the same room just matching aesthetically.

-Also, I just know that Cross would be a Shadow fan and they could actually be really understanding of eachother, they where brainwashed to the point of amnesia for a false belief and are constantly fighting against a world that wants them to be a weapon.... so yeah :D

-Tails would love to hang out with Core frisk and Sci, or almost any Alphys or Sans that is whiling to have a conversation with him

-MY PERSONAL FAVORITE WOULD BE SCOURGE AND KILLER, I NEED TO SEE THOSE MOFOS HATING ON THE WORLD SO BAD

THEY ARE MEANACE, ABSOLUTE INSANE RAT PEOPLE (they both have rabies)

SPEEDRUN ESSENTIAL INTERACTIONS (and the ones I want to see, no context)

-Metal Sonic and the MTT <3

-Core Frisk and Sage (as well as maybe Geno)

-Ccino and his cats with Cream n Vanilla and their Chao

-OMEGA and Error (EXTERMINATE/DESTROY DUO)

-Rouge and Lust, duh

-Leave the Hooligans and/or Babylon Rogues in Underfell and see what happens

-Almost every Undyne would get along with Surge me thinks, or at leas spare with her

-The Chaotix and Fresh and see how shenanigans ensue

-Epic and Sonic

-Amy and Poppy, or Amy and Toriel

-Mighty and Ray I can totally see getting along with classic Sans and Papyrus(or Outer)

-Reaper and Life talking with Chaos and Tikal

Le juif Zelensky fait assassiner l’officier russe qui a révélé l’existence des laboratoires de guerre biologique de la CIA en Ukraine.

La prochaine stratégique des fact-checkers va vous surprendre.

Le fact-checking vient de franchir un saut qualitatif.

 RUPTURE : LE PRINCIPAL ENQUÊTEUR DU BIOLAB RUSSE VIENT D’ÊTRE ASSASSINÉ DANS UN ATTENTAT À LA BOMBE DE TYPE UKRAINIEN.

Auparavant, Igor Kirillov a EXPOSÉ que : �� Le Rosemont Seneca Investment Fund, dirigé par Hunter Biden, et la Fondation Soros sont impliqués dans le financement de laboratoires biologiques en Ukraine. »

Il ne fallait pas répandre des théories complotistes !

Les fact-checkers ukrainiens ont soigneusement filmé la scène à des fins de guerre psychologique.

 Nouvelle vidéo montrant le moment où le général Kirillov et son assistant Polikarpov ont été pulvérisés.

Les images montrent clairement que c’est le scooter qui a explosé.

L’explosion a tué Igor Kirillov, chef des forces de défense radiologique, chimique et biologique des forces armées russes, ainsi que son chauffeur.

La juive Nuland n’avait pas du tout apprécié ces histoires de laboratoires de guerre biologique évoquées par Igor Kirillov.

La sous-secrétaire d’État américaine Victoria Nuland déclare que Washington collabore avec l’Ukraine pour empêcher que des installations de recherche biologique ne tombent entre les mains de la Russie. Elle vient de confirmer toutes les théories du complot sur l’existence de ces laboratoires.

Les États-Unis disposent de nombreuses installations de ce genre pour déclencher des offensives biologiques.

Le COVID est sans discussion possible le fruit d’une opération de guerre biologique de basse intensité menée par le gouvernement des États-Unis.

Les Chinois permettaient aux spécialistes américains d’accéder à leur laboratoire de Wuhan pour mener des études conjointes sur la création de virus, officiellement à des fins médicales.

Quand les Chinois ont compris que les Américains s’étaient servis de Wuhan comme d’un cheval de Troie pour diffuser le COVID19 en Chine puis dans le monde, ils ont diffusé des informations à propos de Fort Detrick, le laboratoire historique de l’armée américaine pour la guerre biologique.

D’autres questions d’introspection pour Navarro : Qu’est-ce qui se cache derrière la fermeture du biolab de Fort Detrick ? Quel est le lien entre la fermeture et les maladies pulmonaires associées au vapotage, la grippe saisonnière et le #COVID19 ? Quand les États-Unis inviteront-ils des experts à enquêter sur l’origine du virus sur leur territoire ? 

People’s Daily Online :

Ralph Baric, professeur à l’université américaine de Caroline du Nord (UNC) à Chapel Hill, est un chercheur de longue date dans le domaine des coronavirus. D’une part, il est connu depuis longtemps pour sa technique de « génétique inverse » des coronavirus ; d’autre part, il a mené de nombreuses études sur les coronavirus avec l’Institut de recherche médicale de l’armée américaine sur les maladies infectieuses (USAMRIID) basé à Fort Detrick, dans le Maryland, ainsi qu’avec l’Installation de recherche intégrée de Fort Detrick (IRF-Frederick), comme l’ont montré des articles scientifiques. Tous deux sont engagés depuis longtemps dans des recherches portant sur des virus à haut risque et ont des antécédents douteux en matière de sécurité des laboratoires, d’après les rapports des médias locaux Frederick News-Post et New York Times. En 2006, l’article intitulé « Cynomolgus Macaque as an Animal Model for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome » (Le macaque cynomolgus comme modèle animal pour le syndrome respiratoire aigu sévère), publié sur le site web PLOS Medicine, a montré que l’équipe de Baric et l’institut avaient mené des recherches sur le SRAS. En outre, d’autres éléments ont révélé les liens entre Ralph Baric et les laboratoires de Fort Detrik. Ralph Baric maîtrise la technique spéciale de la « génétique inverse » des coronavirus, qui lui permet non seulement de cultiver un virus vivant à partir des fragments de gènes des coronavirus, mais aussi de modifier les gènes des coronavirus et d’en créer de nouveaux afin d’étudier la nocivité des virus pour l’homme, selon la MIT Technology Review. L’article intitulé « Reverse Genetics in full-length infectious cDNA of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus », qui expose la puissance de cette technique, a été publié dans PNAS, avec Ralph Baric et l’USAMRIID comme co-auteurs. Ils ont déposé une demande de brevet pour cette réalisation et sont copropriétaires du brevet après l’approbation de la demande en 2007.

Ce que les Chinois ont évité de dire publiquement, c’est que Ralph Baric et Peter Daszak étaient présents à Wuhan.

En 2018, Daszak avait sollicité des fonds de l’armée américaine pour financer la création de virus létaux qui seraient introduits dans des populations de chauves-souris de la région de Wuhan.

Le dénonciateur et ancien vice-président d’EcoHealth Alliance (les créateurs du Covid-19 au laboratoire chinois de Wuhan) accuse le Dr Ralph Baric d’avoir créé le Covid-19 et déclare que « sans le financement du gouvernement américain, il est hautement improbable que le Covid-19 ait pu être mis au point avec succès ».

Quand le professeur Montagnier, Prix Nobel pour ses découvertes sur le SIDA, a indiqué que le COVID avait été créée en laboratoire avec des éléments du virus du SIDA, il a été menacé par les juifs.

Ensuite, il a été interdit de présence médiatique et lorsqu’il est mort, les autorités n’ont pas réagi en dépit de son Prix Nobel.

Ce laboratoire de Wuhan a été cofondé par le juif Yves Lévy, mari de la juive Agnès Buzyn, ministre de la Santé lors du déclenchement de la pandémie.

Wuhan : le très engagé contre l’antisémitisme Bernard Cazeneuve au premier plan, Pierre Lévy au second plan

Chat GPT, quelles sont les probabilités pour que le professeur qui a créé un laboratoire de recherche sur les virus en Chine soit juif et que sa femme soit également juive ainsi que ministre de la santé dans son pays le jour où se déclenche une pandémie à cause d’un virus issu du même laboratoire. Fais un calcul rapporté au nombre d’habitants de la planète.

Pour répondre à cette question de manière rigoureuse, il faut d’abord décomposer les hypothèses, estimer les probabilités associées à chaque condition, et rapporter le tout à la population mondiale. Voici une méthodologie structurée : 1. Définitions et contexte Le professeur en question aurait créé un laboratoire de recherche sur les virus en Chine (hypothèse 1). Il serait juif (hypothèse 2). Sa femme, également juive, serait ministre de la santé dans son pays au moment du déclenchement de la pandémie (hypothèse 3). 2. Estimations nécessaires a) Population mondiale La population mondiale en 2024 est estimée à 8 milliards. b) Proportion de Juifs dans le monde La population juive mondiale est estimée à environ 15 millions, soit 0,19 % de la population mondiale. La probabilité qu’une personne soit juive est donc : P(juif)=0,0019 P(juif)=0,0019 c) Proportion de chercheurs en virologie Supposons qu’il y ait environ 20 millions de chercheurs scientifiques dans le monde. Parmi eux, les virologues représentent une infime fraction. Estimons qu’il y ait 100 000 virologues dans le monde, soit : P(virologue)=100000 / 8000000000≈0,0000125 P(virologue)=8000000000/100000 ≈0,0000125 d) Probabilité qu’un virologue soit juif Si nous supposons que la proportion de Juifs parmi les virologues est similaire à la proportion générale (0,19 %), la probabilité qu’un virologue soit juif est : P(juif et virologue)=P(juif)×P(virologue)≈0,0019×0,0000125=0,00000002375 P(juif et virologue)=P(juif)×P(virologue)≈0,0019×0,0000125=0,00000002375 e) Probabilité que la femme du virologue soit également juive Si l’on suppose que la probabilité de mariage dans le même groupe ethnique/religieux est élevée (disons 50 % dans le cas des Juifs), alors : P(femme juive)=0,5 P(femme juive)=0,5 f) Probabilité qu’elle soit ministre de la santé Il y a environ 200 ministres de la santé dans le monde (un par pays, en moyenne). La probabilité qu’une personne choisie au hasard soit ministre de la santé est : P(ministre de la santeˊ)=200/8000000000=0,000000025 P(ministre de la santeˊ)=8000000000/200 ​ =0,000000025 3. Calcul global La probabilité conjointe de toutes ces conditions est le produit des probabilités individuelles : P (toutes les conditions) = P(juif et virologue)×P(femme juive)×P(femme ministre de la santé) P(toutes les conditions)=P(juif et virologue)×P(femme juive)×P(femme ministre de la santé.) Substituons les valeurs : P(toutes les conditions)=0,00000002375×0,5×0,000000025=0, 000000000000296875 P(toutes les conditions)=0,00000002375×0,5×0,000000025=0,000000000000296875 4. Interprétation En rapportant cette probabilité à la population mondiale : 8000000000×0,000000000000296875 ≈ 0,002375 Cela signifie qu’il y aurait environ 0,0024 personne dans le monde réunissant ces conditions, soit une probabilité extrêmement faible (proche de zéro). Conclusion Les conditions décrites sont extraordinairement improbables. Cependant, ce type de calcul repose sur de nombreuses hypothèses simplifiées. Si des informations spécifiques sont connues (par exemple, des proportions plus précises pour certaines professions ou groupes), les résultats pourraient légèrement varier.

Ce n’est qu’une partie des opérations secrètes des USA et de l’OTAN dont Kirilov avait une connaissance précise.

Le lieutenant général de la protection NBC des forces armées russes Igor Kirillov expose systématiquement les crimes des Anglo-Saxons depuis de nombreuses années, faits à l’appui.

Les provocations de l’OTAN avec des armes chimiques en Syrie, les manipulations de la Grande-Bretagne avec des substances chimiques interdites et les provocations à Salisbury et Amesbury, les activités meurtrières des Biolabs américains en Ukraine, et bien d’autres choses encore. Il a travaillé sans crainte. Il ne se cachait pas derrière le dos des gens. Il marchait visière ouverte. Pour la patrie, pour la vérité.

Des cellules terroristes ukrainiennes aux ordres du juif Zelensky sont présentes dans différentes villes de Russie, prêtes à assassiner d’autres officiers de haut rang.

L’ordre juif mondial est engagé dans une lutte pour la survie et il ira jusqu’au bout pour conjurer son effondrement.

À l’évidence ceux qui exposent les méthodes inavouables de cette race sont les plus immédiatement ciblés.

Démocratie Participative

[mariacallous]

As the most consequential presidential election in a generation looms in the United States, get-out-the-vote efforts across the country are more important than ever. But multiple far-right activist groups with ties to former president Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are mobilizing their supporters in earnest, drawing on one baseline belief: Elections in the US are rigged, and citizens need to do something about it.

All the evidence states otherwise. But in recent weeks, these groups have held training sessions about how to organize on a hyperlocal level to monitor polling places and drop boxes, challenge voter registrations en masse, and intimidate and harass voters and election officials. And some are preparing to roll out new technology to fast-track all of these efforts: One of the groups claims they’re launching a new platform for checking voter rolls that contains billions of “data elements” on every single US citizen.

These groups could have a major impact on the 2024 election. In addition to disenfranchising voters and putting additional pressure on already overstretched election offices, they could convince more and more people that US elections are fraudulent.

Catherine Engelbrecht and her organization True the Vote have effectively tried to disenfranchise voters for more than a decade by claiming that voter rolls are filled with phony voter registrations. Engelbrecht’s rhetoric was given an unprecedented boost in the wake of 2020, when Trump and other elected officials mainstreamed conspiracies that the elections had been rigged in favor of Democrats. Hundreds of national and local election denial groups were formed, and many of them amassed huge followings on social media platforms like Telegram. As the 2024 presidential election looms, they are ramping up efforts to do it again.

“It could be exponentially worse than what we saw in 2020, but we're going to be awake, we're going to be engaged, we are going to understand the process, and we're going to have options to continue to hold to those truths,” Engelbrecht said during a March webinar titled “Election Integrity Team Building 101.” “We're not going to back down. There's too much to lose.”

The hour-long presentation was delivered from a hotel room in Denver, with Engelbrecht laying out what could sound like a relatively benign plan to monitor elections and check voter rolls. “Keep a soft heart, keep a kind word in your mouth, approach people irrespective of party with love. You will find that things will be much better if that is the approach that is taken,” Engelbrecht said. The session, she said, was overbooked.

Engelbrecht then began speaking about elections being “perilously close to cracking in half,” and her presentation became a highlight reel of election conspiracies, references to crystals, Christian nationalist rhetoric, and militaristic jargon. “If this republic’s to be saved, it's because [of] people like all of you that are on this webinar right now. There are some bad actors out there and we live in particularly chaotic and caustic times,” said Engelbrecht. “If we wait on somebody to do something, we will watch freedom slip away on our watch. That's how close we are.”

“These groups are trying to lay the groundwork to potentially make later claims about the election that very well may be false. But the more chaos that can be caused along the way will give more fodder to that disinformation,” Andrew Garber, an expert at the Brennan Center for Justice’s Voting Rights and Elections Program, tells WIRED. “It's not just bad if there's a mass voter challenge because people might get kicked off the rolls. It's also bad if people then take that challenge and say, ‘See, look at all these ineligible voters,’ when in fact that's not the case.”

Engelbrecht founded True the Vote in 2010, when she was an activist for the right-wing populist Tea Party movement. After the 2020 election, Engelbrecht and her collaborator Gregg Phillips became central figures in the Stop the Steal movement, and starred in the widely-debunked election conspiracy film 2000 Mules. They were also arrested for contempt of court after refusing to identify their source behind allegations that the Chinese government had accessed US election data. True the Vote also made wild allegations of widespread ballot stuffing in Georgia during the 2020 vote and a subsequent runoff in 2021. Earlier this year, True the Vote was forced to admit in court that the group had no evidence to back up its claims.

In 2022, the group rolled out a slick new software tool known as IV3, based on technology developed by Phillips, that compared names on voter rolls to a database maintained by the US Postal Service, allowing anyone to challenge voter registrations across the country if they spotted a discrepancy. A WIRED investigation, however, revealed that the information used to challenge the registration of hundreds of thousands of people was based on unreliable data.

Undeterred, True the Vote announced last week that it was relaunching IV3. Phillips claims that the software’s database now has close to “100 billion data elements about every single voter in the United States.” WIRED has not seen proof of this claim. The new IV3 system will soon be available in all 50 states, the organization said. On Thursday, the group held a webinar to train local activists on how to use it. The new system also relies on data from the US Postal Service, but Engelbrecht claimed during the presentation that Phillips and his team had “normalized” the data from all 50 states to ensure the system would not produce inaccurate results. She also said that thousands of people across the country were already registered, and that they had a long waiting list.

Additionally, she said that another software tool developed by Phillips’ team, called Ground Fusion, would be released soon; it is aimed at organizations and PACs looking to identify voting irregularities across larger geographic regions.

Engelbrecht declined to comment, claiming without evidence that WIRED had “written unfairly about True the Vote and IV3 in the past.”

True the Vote is not the only group seeking to leverage technology to supercharge the spread of election conspiracies. A secretive Georgia-based firm called EagleAI NETwork has developed a voter information database to fast-track the deletion of ineligible voters from the system. Voter rights groups have advised against its use, as insignificant errors—such as a missing comma before the suffix “Jr.”—have led to eligible names being removed. Still, at least one county in Georgia has agreed to use EagleAI to review voter challenges and conduct list maintenance activities.

One of EagleAI’s key backers is former Trump adviser Cleta Mitchell, who in the past two years has become central to the push to spread election conspiracies on a national level through her well-funded Election Integrity Network.

The group has held in-person training seminars in recent years, with session topics including how to protect “Vulnerable Voters from Leftist Activists” and “Monitoring Voting Equipment and Systems.” More recently, the group has made its training sessions available online, and is now once again ramping up its efforts ahead of the 2024 election with an initiative called Soles to the Rolls, aimed at boosting challenges to voter registration.

Mitchell, EagleAI, and the Election Integrity Network did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.

Another training webinar called “We the People” was also hosted last month by the America Project and its offshoot, Vote Your Vision. Broadcasted online to hundreds of attendees, the webinar featured a lineup of election conspiracists, Republican lawmakers, a guy who wrote a book about fifth-generation warfare, and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

The webinar, the group’s website said, was designed to give people “the secrets to reclaiming our power and reshaping history” by using “state-of-the-art election tools,” including those involving artificial intelligence technology. While the details of exactly what these tools will look like and how they will be used are unclear, the America Project has already scheduled more training sessions in the coming weeks to give supporters more information. The group also did not reply to requests for comment.

The America Project was cofounded by disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Overstock.com CEO and conspiracist Patrick Byrne, who also funds part of the organization. Both Flynn and Byrne reportedly attended a White House meeting in late 2020 to urge Trump to essentially declare martial law and seize voting machines.

While Flynn didn’t speak during last month’s webinar, he has arguably done more than anyone since 2020 to push the notion that America’s elections are fundamentally fraudulent, appearing at conferences, in podcasts, and on right-wing news shows on a near-daily basis. Trump has also indicated that Flynn will be brought back into his administration should he win.

These efforts have been given the seal of approval by the Republican National Committee, which was recently restructured by Trump to include election deniers and family members in top positions while cutting minority outreach efforts. One of those election deniers is Christina Bobb, who will be running the “election integrity unit.” A former Trump lawyer and TV presenter on far-right channel One America News, Bobb is a major promoter of the myth that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. The RNC’s election-related priorities, according to an internal memo recently obtained by NPR, include “a broader effort over the coming months to [legally] challenge voter identification and signature verification rules which were put into place for the 2020 election.”

During the America Project webinar last month, one of the hosts apologized to listeners for being unable to get Bobb to join the call that day, but promised that she would join a future session—highlighting just how closely these conspiracy-focused groups work with the mainstream GOP apparatus.

“These groups have a playbook nationally that they tend to deploy locally,” says Garber. “Some of these playbooks that have an intended national reach are then deployed through local activists, and it's concerning because it's the voters at the local level who suffer the effects. It's the election officials at the local level trying to keep order at the polls, trying to make sure their voter rolls are up to date, who have to deal with this stuff.”

One of Flynn’s core messages over the past four years has been that “local action equals national impact” —an expression that revolves around a concept called “precinct strategy,” which aims to get people into key positions on local committees in order to push their narratives at the local level. In 2024, that strategy has been primed and polished.

“This concept of precinct strategy was actually endorsed by President Trump in the last election cycle,” Yehuda Miller, a Republican county committee member in New Jersey, said during the America Project seminar. “We want to take the strategy to the next level. We want to get more organized, we want to start organizing across multiple counties in a state, we want to start organizing across multiple states. We have the power to direct our elected officials.”

It's the next day here but I want to wish all the LADS girlies a happy valentines! Hope those banner pulls are kind to y'all~

Started re-reading parts of the main story again. It's always nice to revisit early chapters once in a while and maybe discover new things along the way. Reviewing xavier related chapters for now unless I have time for others. ♡🐰

*contains spo!lers up to Main Story: Voyage of The Outcast & Xavier's Silver Polyphony Memory

Disclaimer: I'm southeast asian chinese (english/chinese speaking). Not from China. Not a language expert. Just a lore and Xavier girlie who's way too invested. My reviews are opinions, not facts. - More Details: HERE

Key: (i keep changing the colors but this is the last time i swear!) Purple = official EN version Pink = official CN version « » = my version (based on CN's script) Blue = external links [Scene] = context [EDIT] = notes added after initial draft ★ = bullet points ◤/◢ = start/end of my thoughts

★ [Scene] Traceback II Message

Day 1326 Attention: 第1326个航行日记播报 «1326th voyage journal entry broadcast»

--Target anchor lost. No response from base. Traceback II is about to pass the event horizon and enter the black hole.--

We are stuck in this loop... This never-ending journey... 我们将停滞在这尚未结束 也永远不会结束的旅程当中 «We have come to a standstill on this journey that's yet to end and will never end.»

◤ This "message" from Traceback II is a journal/diary report. This is the 1326th entry so it is presumed that 1326 days have passed since the start of the voyage. This is confirmed in EN where it clearly states "Day 1326".

After Voyage of the Outcast (Main Story) we now know Traceback II is Xavier's spaceship. What we are seeing here is the ship preparing to enter the blackhole and passing through some kind of time warp/closed timeloop curve* (deepspace tunnel) which would send them back in time to the past Earth where the game takes place.

The current year in-game is 2048 and from his promo video we know Xavier has been here for 213 years (214th year is where he meets adult mc). This means Traceback II arrived in the year ~1834.

Fun Trivia: In real life, the year 1834 on Earth is during the Victorian era (1820-1914), or Qing Dynasty in China (1644-1912). I dun think the game follows the same eras tho it makes you wonder what the backtrackers had to do to blend in during those times 🫠. ◢

★ [Scene] Radio Message

EN: | And...that's all for today. But before we go, please enjoy this gift we received from Deepspace 14 years ago: Love and Deepspace. These electromagnetic signals have traversed time and space. A miracle of the ages. | CN: 好了，今天概况就介绍到这里。最后， 请继续欣赏14年前来自深空的礼物，这首 《深空传说》。 这些电磁信号历经万年抵达我们的世界。 被视为奇迹 «All right, that's all for today's overview. Lastly, please continue on to enjoy this gift from 14 years ago that came from Deepspace, this song, "Legend of Deepspace". These electromagnetic signals have taken thousands of years to reach our world. It's regarded as a miracle.»

◤ I've always wondered what exactly this "Love and Deepspace" is, and why the radio presenter says it's a "gift". Well I found out and now I feel like an idiot coz the clues were there all along.

In EN, we are not specifically told what "Love and Deepspace" is, but they did give us the info that it's some electromagnetic signals from Deepspace. My initial thoughts were, since the signals have waveforms and this is some kind of radio broadcast, "Love and Deepspace" is a track that's just filled with a static-like sound.

In CN, the presenter says he is leaving us with "这首 《深空传说》". Just based on the brackets 《 》 and measuring word (首) used, and without any other context, this can mean it's either a song or poetry. The next line let's us know it's referring to electromagnetic signals, and similar to my line of thought for the EN ver, this is more likely to be a song rather than poetry. In CN the title of this song is "Legend of Deepspace", not "Love and Deepspace" as written in EN ver.

So we figured out it's some kind of track/song. With the release of Xavier's "Silver Polyphony" Memory, we can now confirm it is most definitely a song/instrumental. In that Memory we got to hear how the raw signals from outer space sound like (an unsettling hum). Xavier also says there are ways to convert the signals, which we later learn it can be converted into a piece of music. ⬇️

But what does this song, "Love and Deepspace" or "Legend of Deepspace" sound like? ...Take a closer look at this screenshot in Xavier's promo vid. ⬇️

On the CD is the title "Deep Space Legend". I didn't translate it exactly the same way but this has to be the song the radio presenter was referring to in CN ver! In smaller print it's written: beyond the universe.

Xavier plays the CD and we get to listen to it. ⬇️

Yeaaa.. so this "song" is an instrumental version of the game's first theme song. A slightly muffled version of the song sung by Sarah Brightman was literally playing in the background of this chapter's cutscene and it completely flew over my head. I thought the EN title misled me, until I went back to check... ⬇️

"Love and Deepspace". It's not just the title of the game, but also the song title in the official EN ver... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

As for who transcribed this music in the game's universe, I'm not sure and I doubt it's Xavier tho I have a feeling it's a former backtracker. Or it could be EVER. We are more accustomed to labeling them as the "evil" group, but some of their tech actually benefits Linkon. Just like how they also made the cute OTTO robots 😣. ◢

[gold-iridescent]

Always check.

A few things you could look for or do:

0 (Always do this): Take a breather, try to calm your emotions. Fake news want you to feel a certain way so you believe them!

Now.

1. Do they cite their sources?

2. Search up something that was claimed to be true by the source and check with other sources (be wary if there is no other sources.)

3. Search up WHAT ORGANIZATION(S) FINANCE THE NEWS OUTLET. Be especially wary if it's by a Political party or a company in close cooperation with a Political Party

4. Check the URL (if it seems to be an 'edu' domain, but is followed by a ".co" or "Io", it likely is a fake site.)

5. Be wary if the info is protrayed as SENSATIONAL or seems TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

6. If your resource has an ABOUT US section, read it. Modt reputable websites WILL have an about us and a way to contact them.

7. Check the Authors credentials. Why are *they* an authority on the matter? Do they currently work in that field? Check their LinkedIn, if available. Google the authors name.

8. Does the article only present one side of a debate? Then it is biased. That is not necessarily bad but make sure to get all sides of the arguments to make a well-based opinion

9. BE AWARE of CONFIRMATION BIAS. People tend to seek and interpert info and evidence in the way that confirms their belief or expectations. Try to be neutral. Don't fall into this trap

THIS IS NOT ALL so well explained, but i tried my best /gen

I have linked resources and such below. Will be updating this post. making edits if i see mistakes, etc. PLEASE MESSAGE ME of more tips and resources and such that might be helpful! I would appreciate it /gen

BE AWARE SOME SOURCES ARE BY THE GOVERNMENT (.gov). we do not know how much the government will control/change the acurracy of them, so PLEASE double check)

Tragedy in Boca Raton: Small Plane Crash Claims Three Lives, Sparks Investigation

On the morning of April 11, 2025, a small aircraft crashed near Boca Raton Airport in Florida, resulting in the deaths of all three individuals on board and injuring one person on the ground. The incident has prompted investigations by federal authorities and raised concerns about aviation safety.

The Incident

At approximately 10:12 a.m., a Cessna 310R aircraft departed from Boca Raton Airport en route to Tallahassee International Airport. Shortly after takeoff, the pilot reported mechanical issues, specifically with the rudder system. The plane circled the area for about 8–10 minutes before crashing near the intersection of North Military Trail and Glades Road, approximately a mile from the airport.

The crash resulted in a massive fireball, with debris scattering onto nearby roads and train tracks. A vehicle on the road was damaged, and the driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries after swerving to avoid the wreckage and colliding with a tree.

Emergency Response

Emergency crews from Boca Raton Fire Rescue responded swiftly to the scene, extinguishing the fire and securing the area. Assistant Fire Chief Michael LaSalle confirmed that all three occupants of the plane were deceased upon arrival. The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of next of kin.

Eyewitness Accounts

Witnesses described the harrowing scene as the plane descended rapidly before impact. Jared Scarpato, a freshman aviation student at Lynn University, recounted hearing the emergency call on the university's air traffic frequency and witnessing the aftermath. He described the experience as traumatic and emphasized the importance of safety protocols in aviation training.

Investigation Underway

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched investigations into the crash. Preliminary reports suggest mechanical failure as a potential cause, but officials caution that a thorough investigation is necessary to determine the exact factors leading to the accident.

Community Response

Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer expressed condolences to the victims' families and urged the public to allow investigators the time and space needed to conduct a comprehensive inquiry. He emphasized the community's commitment to supporting those affected by the tragedy.

Aviation Safety Concerns

This incident has reignited discussions about aviation safety, particularly concerning small aircraft operations. Experts highlight the importance of regular maintenance, pilot training, and adherence to safety protocols to prevent such tragedies. The aviation community awaits the findings of the investigation to implement necessary measures to enhance safety standards.

Conclusion

The Boca Raton plane crash serves as a somber reminder of the risks associated with aviation and the critical importance of safety measures. As investigations continue, the community mourns the loss of life and seeks answers to prevent future occurrences.

Social Media Reactions

The incident has garnered significant attention on social media platforms, with users expressing shock and condolences:

"Just witnessed the plane crash near Boca Raton Airport. Absolutely heartbreaking. Thoughts are with the families." – @AviationWatcher "Kudos to the emergency responders who acted swiftly after the crash. Heroes in action." – @LocalResidentFL "This tragedy underscores the need for stringent safety checks in aviation. Hoping for a thorough investigation." – @SafetyFirst

Understanding 925 Sterling Silver: A Buyer's Guide

Have you ever wondered why people love buying Gold? It’s not just because of the insurance it provides against inflation & uncertain times like the COVID-19 Pandemic or wars that are always on the news.

But, also because of the reason that it is more durable, non-tarnishing, & pliant ( easy to mold ).

All the above reasons are the contributing factors that make India have more gold in possession than the top 5 countries combined.

Don’t believe me, then here’s fact check

But, the price of Gold is skyrocketing, & that’s why people are opting for 92.5 sterling silver. But what’s that?

It’s an amazing alternative to Gold, but very few people know about it even though millions of people are wearing it.

In this blog, we will make you an expert by sailing you through the difference between 92.5 sterling silver & "pure silver" which is also known as "fine silver".

What’s Pure “fine” Silver?

The traditional jewellery that we used to make was made of 99.99% Silver, & which is known as Pure or fine silver.

What’s 925 Sterling Silver?

Any jewellery that is made up of “92.5% of pure silver”, & 7.5% of other metals such as Copper, Palladium & Zinc, etc.

Why 925 Sterling Silver Is Dominating the Silver Jewellery Market?

You must have often heard from your parents that you should remove the silver jewellery be it a necklace, pendant, ring, or even earrings once you are done with the occasion for which you have taken it out. The rationale behind this was that pure silver is reactive, & has tarnishing properties when exposed to sweat, sulfur compounds in the air, & sometimes even due to lotions & perfumes.

So, even after spending a good amount of money if your jewellery gets tarnished & shows reactions that cause allergy to your skin then it might be a little inane thing to do.

Then what does one buy that is pocket-friendly & yet remains timeless?

If it’s silver then it should be 925 sterling silver. If it’s sterling silver then it should definitely be “SilkySilver”.  All of our jewellery is

Hypoallergenic which means skin friendly

Just wear it & forget the hassle of maintaining it because it requires no maintenance.

For a timeless radiance, & shine it’s coated with gold/rose gold/platinum.

( varies with what piece you are buying)

Shiny Secrets: How to know all that shines is "925 Sterling Silver"?

One of the easiest ways is to look for BIS Hallmark 925. It is the guarantee of its genuineness.

Followed by

A& HMC logo

Year Of Marking

Jewellers Mark

If your jewellery is too small then chances are that it might not have a BIS Hallmark to prevent it from any damage.

Another way is the traditional & widely used test, the test of “magnetism”. Just roll over the magnet over your jewellery & if the magnet

slides down, then silver is real

If it remains hooked, then it’s fake

PFA: Perfect. Stylish. Affordable.

It’s PERFECT for every occasion from daily wear to festivities to your workplace.

Time changes fast, & so does fashion which is why we make sure you are always in match with the trend to keep you STYLISH. All our jewellery is evergreen & yet modern like a Pookie Pendant. Our one of the most loved jewelry by all the pookies, gifted for their pookies.

The Art and Craft of Biography Writing

Biography writing is a fascinating and intricate craft that requires a deep understanding of storytelling, research, and the human condition. Whether you're chronicling the life of a historical figure, a celebrity, or an unsung hero, writing a biography involves more than just assembling facts; it's about weaving a narrative that brings the subject to life for the reader. In this blog, we'll explore the essential elements of biography writing, the steps involved in crafting a compelling life story, and tips for aspiring biographers.

Understanding the Essence of Biography Writing

At its core, a biography is a detailed account of a person's life. It goes beyond a mere chronology of events to explore the nuances of their experiences, motivations, and the impact they had on the world. A well-written biography offers insights into the subject's character, their struggles and triumphs, and the historical and cultural context in which they lived.

Research: The Foundation of a Good Biography

Thorough research is the backbone of any biography. It involves gathering information from a variety of sources, including books, articles, interviews, letters, diaries, and archival materials. Here are some key steps in the research process:

Identify Reliable Sources: Look for primary sources like personal letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts, as well as secondary sources such as books and articles written by experts on the subject.

Verify Facts: Cross-check information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy. Be wary of discrepancies and strive to present a balanced view.

Contextualize: Understand the historical, cultural, and social context in which your subject lived. This will help you to portray their life more accurately and vividly.

Interview: If possible, interview people who knew the subject personally. Their anecdotes and insights can add depth and authenticity to your narrative.

Crafting a Compelling Narrative

Once you have gathered your research, the next step is to craft a narrative that engages and captivates your readers. Here are some tips for writing a compelling biography:

Find the Story Arc: Like any good story, a biography should have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Identify the key events and turning points in your subject's life and structure your narrative around them.

Develop the Character: A biography is not just about what a person did, but who they were. Explore their personality, motivations, and relationships. What were their strengths and weaknesses? What drove them to achieve what they did?

Show, Don’t Tell: Use vivid descriptions and anecdotes to bring your subject to life. Instead of merely stating facts, show how events unfolded and how they affected the subject.

Maintain Objectivity: While it's important to portray your subject in a compelling light, strive to maintain objectivity. A good biographer presents a balanced view, acknowledging both the subject's achievements and flaws.

The Structure of a Biography

A biography typically follows a chronological structure, but there are various ways to organize your material. Here are some common approaches:

Chronological: This is the most straightforward approach, presenting the subject’s life in the order in which events occurred.

Thematic: Focus on specific themes or aspects of the subject’s life, such as their career, personal relationships, or impact on society.

Flashbacks: Start with a significant event or turning point in the subject’s life and then use flashbacks to explore their earlier years.

Multiple Perspectives: Incorporate the viewpoints of different people who knew the subject to provide a more rounded and nuanced portrait.

Writing Tips for Aspiring Biographers

Start with a Hook: Begin your biography with an intriguing anecdote, quote, or event that grabs the reader's attention and sets the tone for the rest of the narrative.

Use Dialogue: Incorporate dialogue whenever possible to make your narrative more engaging. Be sure to verify the accuracy of quoted conversations.

Balance Detail and Pacing: While it's important to include detailed information, avoid overwhelming the reader with too much minutiae. Balance detail with pacing to keep the narrative flowing.

Revise and Edit: Writing a biography is a long and iterative process. Be prepared to revise and edit your work multiple times to refine the narrative and ensure accuracy.

Stay True to the Subject: Above all, stay true to the essence of your subject. Your goal is to present an authentic and respectful portrayal of their life.

The Ethical Considerations of Biography Writing

Writing a biography comes with ethical responsibilities. Biographers must be mindful of the impact their work can have on the subject, their family, and their legacy. Here are some ethical considerations to keep in mind:

Respect Privacy: Be sensitive to the privacy of living subjects and their families. Avoid sensationalism and respect their wishes regarding what information can be disclosed.

Avoid Bias: Strive for objectivity and avoid letting personal biases influence your portrayal of the subject.

Fact-Check: Ensure that all information is accurate and well-sourced. Misrepresentations can harm the subject’s reputation and credibility.

Acknowledge Sources: Give credit to the sources of your information, whether they are books, articles, interviews, or archival materials.

Biography writing is a rewarding endeavor that allows writers to delve into the lives of fascinating individuals and share their stories with the world. It requires a blend of thorough research, narrative skill, and ethical sensitivity. Whether you’re writing about a historical figure, a contemporary icon, or a personal hero, the principles of good biography writing remain the same: find the story, tell it well, and stay true to the subject.

By mastering the art and craft of biography writing, you can create a work that not only informs and entertains but also honors the legacy of the person whose life you are chronicling. So, pick up your pen, immerse yourself in the research, and start telling the stories that deserve to be told.

Israeli Leaders FUME That World Is Leaving Them Behind

May 24, 2024 TYT Clip of the Day - Hour 1

1Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing cabinet are not happy about the U.N court's decision to order them out of Rafah

285 Comments

"The second path to a conviction relies on circumstantial evidence, inference and common sense — all of which, as a legal matter, are perfectly appropriate grounds upon which jurors can render a verdict.

There is plenty of reason, even apart from the direct evidence offered by Cohen of Trump’s participation in approving the deal with Daniels and signing off on the false records regarding the reimbursement, to believe that Trump was in on everything and fully aware of the legal risks and implications of what he had done.

After all, Trump was the only full-time participant in all of the key events.

These two paths — one relying largely on Cohen’s testimony, and one relying largely on circumstantial evidence of Trump’s intent to conceal the commission of a crime when he reimbursed Cohen — aren’t mutually exclusive. For prosecutors to prevail, the jurors don’t have to agree on their reasoning, either, as long as they agree to convict.

There’s no way to predict what the jury thinks about all of this — to say nothing of how they will actually come out — but prosecutors are clearly within striking distance of convicting Trump. And, if we are being honest, it probably helps matters that they are in Manhattan; Trump is widely reviled there at this point and, as a general matter, people are not inclined to bend over backward to give him the benefit of the doubt."

Try reading what I actually wrote. I very specifically said your first reply to me. In which you responded only to what I said about Trump being a rapist and being on tape bragging about being a sexual predator. The fact that you're talking about others' perspectives does not change the fact that you only responded to that part of my comment and not the rest.

I've never called anyone subhuman or said anyone should kill themselves. Again: reply to the words I wrote, not to whatever fantasy comments you've made up in your head because they're easier to reply to.

And if you think there's no evidence that Trump and the Republicans campaigned on stripping multiple marginalized groups of their rights, then you're either lying or willfully ignorant.

Republicans spent over $200 million on anti-trans TV ads, and Trump's Agenda 47 will be DEVESTATING to trans people. People won't just lose their rights, they'll lose their lives.

Trump repeatedly bragged about "killing" Roe v Wade, and said he'd "protect" women "whether they like it or not".

The cornerstone of his campaign was anti-immigrant:

the planned mass deportations - including of documented "legal" immigrants

Vance's declaration that documented immigrants were actually "illegal" simply because he didn't approve of the LEGAL procedure that granted them their status

the lies about Springfield, OH and Aurora, CO

the literal Nazi race science he was espousing

the constant dehumanizing language about immigrants

the other constant lies about immigrants

revoking birthright citizenship

do I really need to go on?

He openly stated that his political opponents are "enemies from within" and that he'd be comfortable using the National Guard or military against them.

He wants to expand qualified immunity for police - something incredibly dangerous for BIPOC, given how little consequence police already face for extrajudicial killings.

His Agenda 47 not only calls for ending all DEI/equity initiatives, it considers them discrimination. And his allies, including people who worked closely with him, want to reinterpret civil rights laws - the ones that Black people bled and died for - to be about "anti-white discrimination".

Trump stated he was looking into restricting contraception before claiming that the words he's on record saying were a Democrat lie

These are all easily-verifiable facts. That you claim otherwise is ridiculous.

Oh, and he absolutely praised and endorsed Project 2025 (https://x.com/VaughnHillyard/status/1811402883604050216) which openly calls for a national abortion ban and an end to no-fault divorce - and the Heritage Foundation is on record as wanting to end contraception access and recreational sex at all (https://x.com/Heritage/status/1662534135762624520).

Now that you've been updated on reality and it's no longer up for debate that Trump and the Republicans campaigned on stripping various groups of their rights...

If you vote for someone who campaigned on stripping multiple groups of their rights, you don't get to complain that you're treated like someone who voted for stripping multiple groups of their rights.

I'll just repeat this part, since you ignored it in favor of making up things to reply to:

As for people "getting along" despite their different political choices? That doesn't work when the choice of one person is actively harming the other person by, again, *stripping them of their rights*.

If your political choices include voting for someone who campaigned on punching me in the face, you don't get to insist that I'm being unfair or unreasonable when I, the person who's going to get punched in the face because of your choices, say we can't get along.

And you don't get to complain that I've put you in the same group as people who actively want me punched in the face, because even if that wasn't the reason you chose to support the person who wants to punch me in the face, you are still obviously fine with me getting punched in the face. It wasn't a deal-breaker for you.

Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don't give a shit about them or any other woman.

If you're thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.

Edit: Family members and friends are cutting their MAGA friends and family off all over, and for good reason!
