atla post concept that's been haunting me:
the moment mai turns on azula is so awesome in terms of Mai's character and the themes of the show and the way it leads into the next moment with Ty Lee, and just, it's such a great bit.
and i saw an analysis of how it lands for Azula that wasn't wrong, but which i felt fell short. because it's not just hitting her on an ideological level, in the challenge to her entire system of relating to people and the world, and with it the national policy and parenting style with which it's so intertwined.
it's not just having the power of love placed over the power of fear in a context where that's more than pretty words. and it's not just losing Mai, or even having Mai choose Zuko over her, though I'm sure those things did hurt.
that choice of words in that moment is absolutely perfect and very possibly calculated to cut her to the heart.
"I love Zuko more than I fear you."
because what's Azula's nightmare? what's the crack in her heart? my own mother thought i was a monster.
zuko lives with the strangling of the fear/certainty that he's unworthy--of his birthright, of his bending, of his life. Of his father's esteem.
azula carries the same degree of feeling that she's unworthy of being loved. impossible to love. a cruel, perfect, broken thing only good for fear and admiration.
what ozai gives her isn't love. they both know that. he'd probably sneer at the very idea. iroh never knew her enough to love her, not in a way she could value.
and ursa...probably did love her, but was repelled by her, too. found her frightening. preferred zuko, who was sweet and determined and not perfect or broken, not yet. who was easy to love.
she let Ozai have Azula.
and so when Mai explains her choice that way, lays bare all the abuse and coercion that's always been built into their relationship and reduces one of the most positive connections in Azula's life to nothing more than I obeyed you out of fear--which, to be clear, was absolutely what it was, it just wasn't necessarily all it was, but Mai has no reason to soften anything for Azula's sake now, at last, finally--
even before Ty Lee follows suit and emphasizes that this isn't even about the weird vagaries of romantic attachment, it's about how she, Azula, isn't worth following for her own sake and never has been, that binarization of Mai's relationships to the two children of the Fire Lord into love and fear is absolutely targeted at her most fundamental insecurity.
and I honestly believe Mai knew her well enough to have done it very much on purpose.
while the final touch-point was Ozai's betrayal with the whole Phoenix Emperor bullhockey, Mai's wielding the truth like a knife in that moment was a major catalyst for the impressive mental breakdown we see on the day of the Return of Sozin's Comet. it's why Ursa was in the mirror, insisting she loved her. it's why that made Azula scream.
azula knows there's something wrong with her. she's always known it. she's just never been able to do anything constructive about it.
which, i mean, you can put a little bit of that on her, both for voluntarily being a huge asshole because it feels good and for not being willing to actually give up anything whatsoever for the sake of being less toxic or even just more likeable, even though that's a necessary part of any change.
but also she's 14 goddamn years old and has never had any meaningful support in being anything except her most horrible self, because the only authority figure who's meant anything since she was six is a toxic trash heap with a deep vested interest in controlling her.
zuko had to take a really fucking long-ass life-changing field trip with himself to break out of his toxic patterns, and those were largely founded on pressure to act against his basic impulses.
the kind of field trip azula would need to go on, and the difficulty of finding anyone remotely qualified to moderate the process.................
[also for some reason there's a new post interface and it does colors]

Your gifs are beautiful and so clear! Have you ever done a tutorial on how you get them so flawless and well lit? Like esp DS9 and TNG gifsets! I love your work so much!
 @maylovelies
Wow! Okay, for starters: Thank you so much! I really, REALLY appreciate the kind words and the time you took to send this! I really enjoy making gif sets and I’m always so glad to hear that people like how I edit mine. 
To answer your question, yes, I have made a tutorial post in the past, but the method I used back then I’ve strayed from a bit, recently. Some of it I still use, but in reference to lighting and getting them to look a little more high quality, there are some other techniques I’ve been working with lately and really enjoying the results…
I can walk you through with a new example. 
Here’s a quick gif from a scene of DS9:
Tumblr media
and I’ll do a rundown on how I got it to look like this:
Tumblr media
Going to put the rest of this below the cut, though, because it’s significantly longer than my last tutorial-based answer…
So! One trick is to not be afraid to stack up a few adjustment layers of the same variety, sometimes even duplicates of the exact same layer, on top of each other. The reason I do this is because wild adjustments on a single adjustment layer are a lot less controlled and will often effect the wrong parts of the scene’s lighting (by that I mostly mean shadows v highlights).
I edit for light first, personally. Here’s where I am after doing those corrections
Tumblr media
Already looking a lot better and clearer. This was done using three adjustment layers.
Tumblr media
The curves layer is just a basic “lighter” preset that you can find from the drop down menu once you open a new curves layer
Tumblr media
The levels layer I start by using the preset “lighten shadows”
Tumblr media
at that point the image looks very washed out and grainy
Tumblr media
(still image)
so from there i just messed with the layer a bit until I liked it a little more, added some contrast and adjusted the distribution of light, etc.
Tumblr media
which got the image looking like this
Tumblr media
(still image)
But I still thought that looked kind of washed out and flat, so, lastly, I added a completely custom exposure adjustment layer where I pushed up the gamma correction and exposure settings (you can also push the offset into the negative to get a secondary effect similar to gamma correction, but it’s very harsh and temperamental, at times. I wouldn’t recommend it for first-time use) 
Tumblr media
that gets us back to this lightness corrected gifset, which I’ll post again now
Tumblr media
You can actually get a similar look by using just curves adjustments and their presets. Here’s what happens if you take three (3) layers with the same curves “lighter” preset (see above) and then one (1) curves layer with the “medium contrast” preset.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the results are pretty similar
Tumblr media
Each technique lends itself better to different scenes. And obviously with either method (or a combination of both as tends to be the case on super dark scenes - cough, mirror-universe episodes, cough) you can customize a lot from these presets to get the desired effect. They just give you a good jumping-off point…
Now the first thing I always notice about adding brightness to these scenes is that the tones get very warm and muddy, so from there I usually like to color correct next. 
I like to bump my vibrance and saturation sliders up before color correcting, but I know a lot of people do it after. That’s really just a matter of personal preference. 
There are a handful of ways to color correct, and, just like with the lighting methods above, I tend to mix and match the various adjustment layers. I’ll use Color Balance (as illustrated in my previous tutorial) and I’ll also now use Hue/Saturation layers and Selective Colors layers. 
Honestly, color correcting / color grading alone could be its own tutorial so I won’t go very in-depth on that here. But just play around with the settings and find a method that works for you. (If you feel like you’d want a specific run through on that, just shoot me an ask and I can cover it some other time in more detail.) 
My one recommendation to help you avoid the big rookie mistake I made when I first started doing this is that with the hue/saturation layers, never use the Master slider option; instead, click the drop down menu and work on each color individually. 
Tumblr media
So here’s where we’re at once I bumped up the saturation and then did my color corrected. 
Tumblr media
You may notice how sometimes color correction darkens an image and undoes some of the work you did earlier (in my experience, this usually happens when you have to add a lot of blue in the color balance layer) You’ve got two options here. Either go back in to the previous brightness adjustment layers and lighten up some of the contrasts, or put a new layer over top of latest color edits to add brightness back in over top. Again, this comes down to personal preference. Experiment with either version and do whichever works best for you. 
Here’s after I brightened it back up a little again. 
Tumblr media
Subtle difference, but it’s how I prefer it for this scene. Plenty of times scenes don’t end up needing it at all.
So the gif is looking pretty solid from there. In some cases, I’d actually stop right here and just add the quote text to the bottom and call it a day. But if you really want to make it look HQ, there’s a few additional steps…
Firstly, it helps to keep the images smaller (a retread of something I said in that other tutorial too, I believe) but after that, there’s a way to sharpen all the layers and frames at once while also reducing “noise,” both of which improve the quality of a gif. 
To do that, take your frames timeline at the bottom of photoshop and click the little icon that looks sort of like a funnel going through a bar graph… 
Tumblr media
If you have history window open, it’ll say “Convert to Timeline” after you’ve done this, and instead of frames you’ll see a bunch of short purple lines instead of the gif’s individual frames. Don’t panic! That’s supposed to happen. 
From this point, go to your layers window and select all of the layers that are frames of your gifs, which you can do by clicking the first layer - holding shift - then scrolling up to click the final layer - then releasing shift. They should all have the little eyeball icon on next to them, indicating that they’re all active. Then, right click the top layer and from the pop-up menu click “convert to smart object”
Tumblr media
When you do this, all of the layers compress into one Smart Object with the name of the top layer. 
Tumblr media
Again, don’t panic!, you didn’t lose the other layers they’re just now all going to be affected by the sharpen filter instead of having to be edited one at a time.
Now, go to the top ribbon in Photoshop and in the drop down menus, go “Filter” > “Sharpen” > “Smart Sharpen…” and click that. 
Tumblr media
A little window will pop up that gives you a preview of how this filter will impact your image. 
Tumblr media
**notice that the smart sharpen preview does not show color and lighting corrections; that’s fine & because we are not applying this smart filter to any of our adjustment layers.
And what you do from here is again a matter of personal preference. Raise the sharpening amount too much and the image starts to look crinkly, have the noise reduction too high and all the detail gets smudged away. 
Here’s an example of what happens if youwere to crank both the sharpness and the noise reduction all the way up:
Tumblr media
(still image)
And I guess there’s maybe a place and time where something with this aesthetic would work for a particular scene or edit, but generally, I like to keep the settings pretty low. Sometimes, less really is more…
For a 268x200px gif of an 80′s or 90′s Trek show, I keep Reduce Noise at 10% and have the sharpening anywhere from like 85-150, depending on how much I’ve cropped in on the original camera crop. But for this gif, where I didn’t zoom in very much at all and pretty much kept it how the original videography framed her, keeping it around 95-115 works nicely. 
When you’re done, click OK. 
Now that Smart Object looks like this
Tumblr media
And that’s pretty much it! Now, when you export your gif from Photoshop, it’ll look something like this:
Tumblr media
The one thing you have to remember about this technique (and this is something that still trips me up from time to time, myself) is that when you export, it doesn’t automatically set the gif to loop forever. Instead, it’s set to “Once.” To fix that, when you click through “Export” > “Save to Web (Legacy)” and the Web window pops up, go to the bottom right corner and above the “Save” button there’s a drop down menu in the “Animation” section. Click there and switch from Once to Forever. 
Tumblr media
And there you have it! Start to finish, that’s how I make my HQ gif sets!
I know it seems like a ton of work for one lousy gif and super overwhelming at first and hard to remember, but once you get into the swing of things it all becomes very second nature.
So thanks for asking and thanks for reading. Hopefully this was helpful, please let me know if you got anything out of it. 
And, of course, feel free to reach out with any other questions or requests. I’ll always try to do the best I can and answer. ♥

Split Screen App For Mac Yosemite

Split Screen App For Mac Yosemite
Using Split Screen On Mac
Swipe three fingers up to see the screen with all your apps spread out and at the top there will be windows with all your full screen apps. Go all the way to the right of that with your mouse at the top and a window with a + sign will stick out from the side of the screen. Click it and it will create a second desktop. Split-screen is there to carry on the operations, twice. Better control on mailing features. Photo-Editing is been made easy. Up to 2x faster app switching. Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6: Important Product Details.
Swiftly organize active windows with drag and drop.
What tricks do you have in your bag to stay productive for extended periods of time? Some will say: single focus, no distractions, away from computers — and right into the Bronze Age. Because, let’s admit it, shutting everything down is simply not a viable solution for the modern workplace.
Today, our multifaceted responsibilities require us to have multiple windows open on our Macs at all times, fending off never-ending Slack messages while writing emails and managing our calendars. Looking from the sidelines, it might seem that what we do all day is just switching between full-screen app windows.
Split screen app + 170 goodies for Mac
Download Setapp to get access to Mosaic and a whole lot of Mac apps that will help you solve everyday tasks.
Split Screen Mac Yosemite
For years, our natural desire was to get more screen real estate by adding a second, third, and even fourth monitor. Numerous guides on how to do dual screen on Mac properly suggested a variety of ways in which screens could add to our working lives.
In the end, portability and convenience won when most of us switched to predominantly working on our laptops. But accomplishing the same amount of work with a smaller screen got even more challenging. That all changed as Apple released its OS X El Capitan in 2015.
How To Do Split Screen On Mac
Starting El Capitan, all versions of macOS have included a MacBook split screen feature called Split View, which lets you easily open two apps to fill the whole screen and adjust them as needed.
To activate Mac split screen:
Open two apps of your choice
Hold the green “full-screen” button at the top left of the screen
Drag the app to fill either the left or right side of the screen
Click on the other app for it to fill the rest
Note: some older, not frequently updated apps might not support Split View.
Feel free to experiment with various app combinations that would fit your work the best. If you need to see more than two apps, you can easily create another Split View on a new Desktop. To do that, just launch the Mission Control utility and click on the plus icon in the top-right corner of the screen. If you’re wondering how to switch screens on Mac in Split View, you can either go through the Mission Control or swipe left or right with four fingers as a shortcut.
To change the portion of the screen used by each app, simply drag the divider in the center to either side. To quit Split View, either press Escape, the same green “full-screen” button, or use a shortcut Ctrl + ⌘ + F.
Use better Mac split screen alternatives
The Split View Mac provides by default is arguably twice as good as using just one app at a time. But it doesn’t go beyond that. What about four, six, or eight times the productivity? Alas, the Split View can’t give us that — it’s only up to third-party utilities to fix.
Tumblr media
Best app for splitting screen on Mac
Get Mosaic, the most robust split view tool. Tons of layout arrangements and ease of use while managing windows on Mac.
Mosaic is a Split View Mac alternative and most likely the last window manager you’ll ever need. Unlike Split View, Mosaic supports any kind of layout arrangement, whether you want to divide your screen in rows, squares, columns, or a completely custom grid.
To split screen on Mac with Mosaic:
Make sure Mosaic is launched in your menu bar
Simply drag your app windows onto the preferred setup
You can also create new Mac split screen configurations by clicking on the Mosaic menu bar icon and then Preferences ➙ Quick Layout.
Split Screen App For Mac Yosemite Windows 10
With Mosaic you can customize your screen to fit your needs precisely and thus considerably increase your productivity. As a bonus, when you find the original Mac split screen not working or being unresponsive, Mosaic can be the answer, as it’s based on a third-party technology and is compatible with all apps.
Create and save custom workspaces
While using Mosaic as a better Split View Mac alternative will help you keep all the app windows in place, reopening every app and file you need for your work can take lots of time.
Workspaces is an automated solution that lets you create custom workspaces for all major activities. It allows you to bring apps, websites, files, emails, and whatever relates to a project or task into handy spots. For example, if you’re about to code something, you can get Workspaces to open your text editor, FTP transfer app, Terminal, your framework of choice documentation in Chrome, and anything else you regularly use.
With Workspaces, you can curate as many project toolkits as you like and switch between them with ease. Every workspace is available from the menu bar. Best of all, you can set up automatic activation for those workspaces that are always associated with a specific type of task.
To create a new workspace in Workspaces, click on the app menu bar icon and select Edit. Then simply add any app or file via the plus button — you can drag and drop the items that are stored on your Mac and paste or type websites. That’s it.
Just like that you can compartmentalize all your work into categories and open all the materials you need in one click.
Do more with Mac split screen and workspaces
The Split View Mac supplies by default is a definite boost to your productivity in the today’s work environment. However, if you need more flexibility in how precisely you configure the app window arrangement, look no further than Mosaic.
In addition, combine everything you need into detailed packages and call on them at any time using Workspaces. This way you can easily divide responsibilities or separate work from personal life. Most importantly, you stop wasting time on opening all the right documents and turn on the always “ready to go” state.
Split Screen Mac Laptop
Best of all, both Mosaic and Workspaces are available for a free trial through Setapp, a platform of more than 180+ Mac apps that cover productivity, task management, creativity, and more. Arm yourself with the utilities you need to go through your day in the productive state of flow.
Setapp uses cookies to personalize your experience on our website. By continuing to use this site, you agree to our cookie policy.
Split view is a new feature in Mac OS X El Capitan which allows you to put two full-screen apps together, dividing them side by side. Just like, for example, you can put a Safari window in full screen mode and share the entire screen with another application, such as Pages. When you enter Mission Control, all windows are now separate, which is a small change from Yosemite, where Windows for the same application was cascading behind each other. The easiest way to start the split view is to click the green button in the expansion window until you see the Split view option. Today, we are here with a trick by which you can easily resize Windows Split View on Mac OS X El Capitan.
Yes, this is possible in this way, as discussed in the article below How to rscale the Split view windows on Mac OS X El Capitan following the steps below.
Step 1. First, hover your cursor between the two windows.
Also read: How to enable split view on Mac OS X El Capitan
Split Screen App For Mac Yosemite
Step 2. Now you need to look at the dividing line between them, which is to resize Windows.
Using Split Screen On Mac
Step 3. Now click and hold the dividing line and drag it to the left or right, as needed.
Step 4. That’s it! You are now ready.
So above, it all comes down How to rscale the Split view windows on Mac OS X El Capitan. I hope you enjoy it, so don’t forget to share this post with others.

How to Import Google Docs to WordPress in 2021
Tumblr media
Google docs is the word Processing tool which is ready to use for user and teams. It gives high-level editing and collaboration tools at no cost with no limitations. In this informative guide we will discuss on how to import Google Docs to WordPress.  However in relation to transferring the document out of Google Docs for a WordPress site, it won’t play well. You’ll lose all of the formatting and images in the procedure. Well, maybe not anymore. Automattic has just published a Google Docs add-on, enabling you to instantly save Google Docs documents being a draft onto your WordPress site. Within this informative article, I’ll also reveal how it is possible to use this add-in to save documents on your wordpress.com or your own self-hosted wordpress.org site. If your post in not ranking so please read our detailed guide. This guide will help to increase rank your post in Google search.
Prerequisites for import Google Docs to WordPress
Listed here are a few of what’s needed for your add-on to get the job done.
For wordpress.com 
->websites A Google account to make files and combine it with all the wordpress.com website. ->Any type of browser. ->A wordpress.com website with administrator rights(i.e., wordpress.com account).
For self-hosted wordpress.org websites 
->A Google accounts to create the documents and connect them with the wordpress.com site. ->Any type of browser. ->A wordpress.com website with administrator rights(i.e., wordpress.com account). ->Jetpack plugin has to be installed and active on the wordpress.org site. It’s compulsory to really make the         add-on working on self-hosted websites.
Process of Import Google Docs to WoredPress 
Before following the instructions below, make sure that you meet all of the above requirements depending on the type of your website.
Install the add-on Plugin
Before implementing the add-on, you will need to install it and connect it to your WordPress website. To begin with, start the WordPress.com to Google Docs add-on page and click “FREE” to setup the add-on.
Tumblr media
A Google Docs document will begin to a new window, and you are going to be requested to exhibit the needed permissions. Click here “Continue,” after which “Allow” provides the permissions and install in the add-on. If possess administrator access into the self-hosted wordpress.org site (i.e., simply the owner could join the add-on).
Link your WordPress Website
After installing the add-on plugin, you’ve got to link your desired site. To achieve this, then click the”add-ons” menu in Google Docs and select “Open”  from the menu  “WordPress.com for Google Docs”  add-on.
Tumblr media
This will begin the add- on the right side bar. This will start the add- on in the right sidebar. Click the “Authorize” button here to begin the authorization procedure.
Tumblr media
A brand new tab will start, at which you’ll have to log in with your wordpress.com accounts (or even logged in). You’re going to be asked to pick your site by a drop down menu list of all the sites, which can be attached to a wordpress.com account. Simply pick the necessary site and click the “Approve” button to authorize it.
Tumblr media
The window will automatically close, and also you’re likely to see or watch that the authorized site in the Google Docs side bar.
Tumblr media
In case you enjoy to authorize more  sites, then click to the “Add WordPress Website” button at the end of the side bar which authorize it. It’s likely to replicate the task to add as much sites as you want. The authorization process is also the same for a self-hosted website. Just be certain that the jetpack plugin is setup and installed, then authorize it with the directions above.
Save Google Docs documents in WordPress
It is pretty simple to store your valuable documents into WordPress like a draft. Whenever you are finished editing your document, then click the”Save Draft” in the side bar adjacent to website name. The file will probably be transferred into a WordPress website and also stored as a”Draft”. In the event you update the draft, then simply alter the Google Docs Document and click the”Update Draft” button in the side bar.
Tumblr media
The add-on will ensure the majority of the formatting and graphics are all since it’s transferred in the WordPress web site editor; thus, you might well not have to develop any changes. Obviously, the add-on is still not perfect and could bypass some of those complex formatting (such as design). But the majority of the frequent formatting remains complete. For testing purposes, I generated a Google Docs document with dummy text and a few images. Additionally, I implemented the majority of the frequent formatting to view how they pass on, such as headlines, bullet points, bold, italic and underline, etc. Once I opened up the draft in the WordPress editor, then the majority of the formatting was absolutely united. The images had been perfectly aligned also.

I also check the html code of the article, and it had been excellent with no undesired entries. You may view it in the screenshot below.

Basic Troubleshooting
WordPress.com sites should not have any issue becoming authorized. But lots of users have confronted difficulties while attempting to connect their self-hosted wordpress.org site with jetpack installed. The add-on is new, and it has many bugs; it depends upon the”jetpack” plugin for the time being. Many users can face problems based within their site installation, jetpack plugin installation and  along with other factors. Here I am giving several of the standard solutions which have been effective for some users to resolve the authorization issue. It will be likely to consult with them if you face a comparable matter. ->Be sure that the website you are analyzing on  at least three or more days old. Jetpack plugin faces difficulty     in authorizing  domain names which are recently enrolled. ->Confirm the latest variant of this jetpack plugin is already installed. ->Disable the rest of the plugins except jetpack and attempt. It’s possible to re-enable them whether it works. ->Disable Cloudflare security if you’re deploying it. It is possible to enable it afterward. ->Change the theme into the WordPress default option (when possible) and then see whether it fixes. It may be      a concern with this subject. ->Security solutions have been recognized to cause authorization issues. Try temporarily disabling and                  authorizing your security solutions. ->Here’s a listing of mistakes that are related to the jetpack plugin. If you encounter any, follow the                        instructions  given to fix it. ->If you remain not able to eliminate the issue, contact jetpack Support. ->You might need to speak to your hosting service to be certain that there isn’t any trouble in their own end.          However, I would advise you first to contact Jetpack Support and seek their advice.  If you want to read more please click below  https://askjitendrakumar.com/google-docs-to-wordpress/   Read the full article

Facebook is one of the most well-known social networking sites today. It is undeniably one of the most highly used sites. Although it is a great networking site to not only reconnect with your friends but also gain knowledge and news about various topics, Facebook can also be quite time-consuming.

If you’re anything like most people, I’m pretty sure that you spend a lot of time texting or browsing through your Facebook feed due to which you not only end up procrastinating your work but also end up wasting quite a lot of time. Moreover, Social media can also get quite overwhelming sometimes. In the platform where somebody posts pictures for the sake of others validation makes you want to do the same.

In a Deactivated account your friends can invite you to an event.
A Deactivated account can be Reactivated by you at any time, where you can’t reactivate when you delete your account.

If the view doesn’t change on your browser, open google.com, search for “Gmail sign-in” click the search result and sign in.
It should have that desktop view. (For the record I used my mobile device for this tutorial)
Step 2: Go to the very end of your page, at the far right you’ll see “Last account activity“, click on “Details“
Step 3: On the next page, click the “Sign Out All Other Web Sessions” button. This will log out your Gmail on other device Like Magic 🔮).

FluentU Review 2019: Learning Korean with Videos
Back in 2015, I first discovered FluentU and used it to support my early Japanese studies. Another language FluentU supports is Korean, and when they reached out again recently and invited me to test the app and all its updates in the past few years on a free trial, I thought this was a great chance to update my review and learn Korean with videos. So, here’s my updated FluentU Review.
What is FluentU?
I made a quick 3 Minute Review to explain what it’s all about. Click play on the video below to watch that, or read on if you can’t watch video right now.
youtube
FluentU uses genuine video content from the internet to create their video based learning. There’s a website and an app available on Apple and Android.
Typically for each video there’s optional subtitles added below and a quiz for the new vocab you learn in that video. These words and phrases are then saved as flashcards on an SRS system (spaced repetition.)
There’s a good range of languages too – Spanish, Chinese, French, English, Japanese, German, Italian, Korean, Russian.
So what’s it all about?
Here’s how it works. You browse the videos available for the language you’re learning by level, once you’ve spotted one that takes your fancy, pick it and watch. The subtitles appear below in both languages. You can also tap any word throughout for a direct translation.
What I noticed and really liked is that the videos are ordered in a logical order too for your ability.
I’ve been working through some really fun Hangeul songs that I would have never found otherwise.
When the video is done, you have the choice to play with a quiz to start learning the words featured in the video. This is done by multiple sample sentences, some from the video and others not, ensuring that you can identify and understand your new vocabulary in different contexts. Smart idea, huh?
This is what’s normally missing for me when I learn vocab. I learn a word and then I remember it (or not) but I have no context. So for me, having different sentence examples is a big advantage.
In a nutshell then, FluentU is a fun and natural way to learn languages without feeling like you’re studying too hard. Pretty nifty.
How much is it?
FluentU isn’t free. But stuff this good rarely is. However, the pricing is nice and simple.
You can join for 14 days for free to try it out. After that, you have just one simple payment option. Either you join and pay the monthly subscription or you can also save if you join via an Annual Plan. In fact, that gets you 4 months free, which is a really good deal. So if you’re looking for something new to use regularly, then it’s a worthwhile investment.
Click here to visit their site and sign up to the free trial to have a little look around before buying. (That’s my affiliate link, which means FluentU give commission to me when you join via my link, so it’s also a great way to support Lindsay Does Languages!)
How to Make the Most of FluentU
Ok, so now you know more about what FluentU is about and the basics of how it works, let’s take a look at how you can make the most of FluentU. Because when you’re paying for a subscription, that’s exactly what you want to do.
1. Download for Offline Use
FluentU naturally works better on a tablet or a computer. That’s not to say that it doesn’t work on a phone – it does. But it’s much nicer to use with a bigger screen.
And the great thing in particular about using FluentU on a tablet is that you can download for offline use. So wherever you are, you can be using FluentU to help you learn languages on the go.
To do this, simply click the cloud with a little down arrow next to a video from the main feed. To access your downloads, click the top three lines in the top left corner of the app to open the menu bar, click ‘My Content’, which will open up a drop down menu. Now click ‘Downloaded’.
2. Make Playlists
Much like when you log onto YouTube, when you open FluentU, you’re presented with an array of videos.
These are adjusted to the level that you’ve listed for that language, but to really make the most of FluentU, create playlists of videos you want to watch.
You could group these playlists around particular topics, specific grammar points, or something else.
To do this, simply click a video from the main feed and click the very top ‘+’ that appears in a circle. You’ll then see a page asking you which playlist you want to add this video to. You can select an existing playlist or click ‘New Playlist +’ to create a new playlist.
To view your playlists, simply click the top three lines in the top left corner of the app to open the menu bar, click ‘My Content’, which will open up a drop down menu. Now click ‘My Playlists’.
3. Review Your Flashcards
Whatever you learn from the videos and the quizzes is saved in your flashcards. These work on an SRS (Spaced Repetition System) basis, which means you can trusts FluentU will only show you something when you need to practise so you won’t be wasting your time.
The flashcards work like the quizzes after the videos, so you get to see most words in various contexts too, sometimes with additional video clips instead of images to help you remember.
If you click ‘Flashcards’ on the main Browse bar (All, Video, Audio, Flashcards), you’ll see a range of flashcard decks available for download. But, to view your own, you’ll need to access it from somewhere else.
To do this, simply click the top three lines in the top left corner of the app to open the menu bar, click ‘My Content’, which will open up a drop down menu. Now click ‘My Flashcards’. Here you’ll see ‘My Vocab’ and ‘Already Known’ at the top.
4. Filter content
The content you see in your main feed when you log on will be adjusted to your level already depending on what you said your level was for that language when you first signed up.
If you feel like a challenge however, you can adjust this to filter content to show only specific levels. Perhaps this would be a good chance to create a playlist or two of interesting videos you want to catch up on in the future.
Alternatively, you could also filter content by the topic. For example, if you’re really interested in art, you’ll have much more success using content that’s interesting to you.
Finally, you also have the option to filter via format. Are you looking for clips, music videos, commercials, movie trailers, news or something else? The format of the video you watch might vary the style of language used so this can be a useful feature to help make the most of FluentU so you’re only seeing the best content for your level.
To do this, simply click ‘Filter’ in the top right on the main page when you open the app. Then select your filter options – you can select multiple options here – and click ‘Done’ to see your updated video feed.
5. Set a Daily Goal
Goals work. You probably know already if you’ve read anything on the blog before that I love me some good solid language goals!
FluentU allows you to set a daily goal right within the app. It’s even possible to set a daily notification reminder for your device so you’ll always remember to study.
To do this, simply click the top three lines in the top left corner of the app to open the menu bar, click the Settings cog at the bottom, and scroll to click ‘Daily Goal’. And if you want to set a Notification, tap that too to pick when you want your daily goal reminder. You’ll also need to allow notifications for the FluentU app in the main settings on your device for this bit to work.
6. Multiple Languages
What’s great about FluentU is that for the subscription price, you get access to all the languages they offer. Currently that includes Chinese, Spanish, English, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Russian and Korean.
Already got years of experience learning French back in school but feel like gentle practise and a refresher alongside your new language? You can do that. And you totally should seeing as it’s included in the same subscription.
To do this, simply click the top three lines in the top left corner of the app to open the menu bar, click the Settings cog at the bottom, and scroll to click ‘Language’.
Join FluentU

On the top i’ve count of trades which is 458 which is a good number. We want to see tactics with minimal 300 depend of trades. Maximum stagnation is 77.94 which is horrible. Good enough? We don’t exchange such techniques with such stagnation however I took these warning signs randomly. Let me are trying speedily to toughen this process. For instance, with Envelopes, let me exchange the period to a bigger quantity. Let’s make it 16, what we will be able to have remains to be bad.Let me increase it as much as 20, still poor. Let me broaden it to 21, what we’ve thus is bad. Good enough? I’ll absolutely increase the deviation of zero.2. Adequate? I see there’s a little little bit of a metamorphosis right here. Adequate? Let me scale down the discontinue Loss to ninety, still dropping. And let’s change now, for example, again the assets. I will go to NZDUSD, you will find still a dropping strategy. I will go to EURJPY. Good enough? You see here now we have a drawdown, then the strategy makes profit, then loses. Now let’s go back to the GBPUSD since this is what we’re specializing in on this course. And let’s change the time frame. I will go to M1, you can find on M1 truly we’ve got a profitable method. Good enough? It goes up then sideways, for some instances there is no new revenue however no losses, and then it goes to a revenue.And let’s exchange it to M5. What we will be able to have, you will discover we have now a totally exceptional stability chart. I’ll exchange it to M15. Right here now we have a great approach. One can find what a steadiness line we’ve got. We’ve a maximum stagnation of 23.Eighty four% which isn’t dangerous, R-squared of eighty three, revenue component of 1.Four, which is particularly fine results. Ok? So these parameters and these indications that I took here randomly, clearly work very good on the GBPUSD on M15 chart and as well we saw it on M1, however on M15 is significantly better.Now guys what’s the benefit of having this? The advantage is that we don’t lose time to test any handbook methods on the platform. It’ll take us months to do the simple exams that I just did. Imagine you want to scan this procedure, and again this can be a random procedure. Think you want to experiment any strategy on GBPUSD on M1.

And if you find yourself trading manually, obviously you have got to location the indicators, you must stay in entrance of the pc and the monitor, you must appear when the entry situation will happen, when would be the exit. And once we sleep we are not able to follow the procedure. So even though you experiment any method manually, it is going to be very hard to get exact outcome like what now we have here given that you are going to no longer be able to alternate 24 hours from Monday to Friday. Adequate? And right here now we have very detailed records concerning the balance chart, the journal. Listed here are all trades opened, the indicator chart. So you can find exactly the place the trades had been open, the place they were closed and many others.As good you’ve some statistical information like very distinct backtest output, stability chart, rely of entries, profit and losses in forex by using weekdays, a number of information right here which again in manual buying and selling can be virtually unattainable to be finished. Okay? So that is from where that you can build a process, you could mess around with the parameters and the indications and which you can export it should you like, as an proficient marketing consultant. Now should you should not have a profitable strategy what you are able to do is you could generate procedures. Adequate? We now have the generator. It is a special thing with informed advisor Studio that i’m utilising always on a few desktops. I run turbines like constantly, all day lengthy, all night time lengthy. Adequate?

I opt for to use stop Loss. And right here, for instance, i’ve a variety between 10 to 100 pips, and the very identical thing for the Take profit. And in generator settings, i’ve working minutes. So this is how much time i would like the generator to be working. And below i have Search first-class which could be internet balance, return to drawdown, process excellent number. If I keep it on web balance, it signifies that it will show me first in collection, the approaches which can be having best possible stability. All right? And below i have Out of pattern which i’ll provide an explanation for just a little bit later in the direction.And we now have some normal Acceptance criteria which i’ll give an explanation for as good. Now let me do away with it and i will simply run the generator, and i’ll show you how it works. You will see very rapidly it calculates exceptional techniques and so they go to the gathering. Already enormous quantities of approaches are into my assortment and these are precise strategies you could prefer from. Adequate? That is the first strategy that i’ve constructed I consider with Accelerator Oscillator, sure and Envelopes.And beneath we’ve every other tactics that are being generated.

CS Oneshot: So Much For My Happy Ending
A Secret Santa gift for @jenswans. It was lovely getting to know you and you have been ridiculously patient with me! I hope this domestic modern AU with multiple meet-cutes exceeds expectations! You absolutely deserve it and much more! 
5k | T | FF.net | AO3  
The morning wind held a hint of spring as Emma yanked on the door to the coffee shop. She had been living in Boston for three months but had yet to find a regular coffee place. The place closest to her house was too pretentious, the one down the street had good coffee but was always crowded with college students, the one on the corner was decent but the blonde barista kept hitting on her. Emma didn’t think she was picky she just wanted a place that served simple, no frills, quality coffee, without ridiculous lines or having to endure awkward flirting.
Emma had high hopes that Cafe Hollow, despite its strange name, could be her place. It was painted in rich neutrals and littered with no-nonsense tables, the music was at a reasonable volume, the line was short, and the menu was a simple black signboard with white letters posted above the register offering simply coffee, espresso, Americano, and cappuccino and no option for sizes. Emma smiled–this was her kind of place.
“I don’t understand. You have milk, you have coffee why can’t you just make me a latte?” The raven haired woman at the front complained in an over-loud voice. Emma rolled her eyes. Why was it so hard to just order what was on the menu?
“This isn’t Starbucks.” Emma heard a male voice mutter lowly behind her and she nodded
“How can you even call yourself a cafe if you don’t serve latte’s?” The irate customer’s pitch rose.
“Seriously?” Emma murmured.
“Someone should tell her there are four other coffee shops on this block that would happily accept her patronage.” The voice added in a rich English accent. Emma gave a chuckle and glanced back to say hello to her fellow annoyed customer but stopped short.
 He was a taller man with dark brown hair, a strong jaw covered in scruff, and a mouth quirked into a smirk that Emma found both endearing and dangerous. She gave him a small smile back as her heart did a strange leap and she turned back around to see the woman leaving in a huff. Emma pretended to be interested in the menu as she tried to center herself. It had been a long time since she had felt such an instant attraction–not since Neal– and the thought disturbed her, set all her personal alarms ringing. She ordered her coffee to-go and was striding out the door before the guy had a chance to try talking to her again.
Emma didn’t go back to Cafe Hollow. She told herself it was because their coffee was weak but deep down she knew it was because she didn’t want to run into “coffee guy” again. She knew it was ridiculous but after Neal, after being abandoned and betrayed, she just couldn’t trust herself or her gut when it came to men. Especially not drop-dead gorgeous men with accents and hair that looked softer than a puppy’s fur. She threw herself into her work that week taking on more skips than usual to make sure she was distracted.
That’s how she ended up at a bar called Neverland in a skin-tight red dress and heels that were killing her as she waited for her skip to show his face. She was busy watching the door when someone slid next to her.
“What a charming coincidence.”
Emma’s breath caught. Seriously? What were the odds? She turned from the door to face “coffee guy”. This time she noticed that he apparently didn’t like to do up the buttons on his shirt and he had a generous amount of chest hair. Despite the warming of her blood, she kept her face neutral.
“Is it?”
He chuckled. “You probably don’t remember but we were in line at a coffee shop not too long ago.”
“Sorry. Doesn’t ring a bell.”
He kept his smile but Emma saw a flash of disappointment behind his eyes and it made her want to come clean. Instead, she walked away and out of the bar. She was halfway home before she remembered that she had been there to do a job. She caught the guy two days later coming out of his girlfriend’s house.
Four days after that Boston was hit by a late Spring storm and Emma found herself trudging down the street trying to avoid the patches of ice as she ran down a lead on an embezzler. Her head was bowed against the cold when someone slammed into her and she went sprawling to the ground with them on top. When she finally registered who it was she cursed.
“Damn it.”
It was “coffee guy” and this time he was so close that she noticed a strange gold halo in his blue-green eyes.
“Apologies. I slipped and–“ He cut off as his eyes widened in recognition. “It’s you!”
He looked so utterly delighted with the turn of events that Emma felt herself flush. Was it possible he thought of her as often as she thought of him? Because she did think of him and found herself wondering just who he was and if he was as interesting as his accent and face suggested. But thinking about him was far different from having him on top of her and she felt her need to run rising up inside her. She pushed at his chest and he rolled off of her. Emma got to her feet awkwardly.
“At least tell me your name?” He asked from the ground. But she ignored him and took off as fast as possible, half-worried he would chase her even as she was sure he wouldn’t.
Despite her desire to not see him again, Emma found herself looking for him and she told herself it was only to be able to avoid another meeting. A week past with no sign of him and then two and Emma began to relax, the universe had given up on throwing them together. In the middle of the third week they found asbestos in her apartment and she was told she needed to be out by Friday.
It seemed almost impossible to find a temporary, furnished, place on such short notice. Everything she looked at was either far outside her budget or not available for weeks. She had lived out of her car before and could do it again but she thought she had put those days behind her. Desperate she refreshed the web page and a new listing appeared. With low expectations, she clicked on the link and was pleasantly surprised by the photos of a spacious apartment even better located than her place. The rent was reasonable, it was furnished, and available on a month-by-month basis. Worried she would miss her chance she pulled out her phone and sent a text.
Is your room still available to rent?
I posted it ten minutes ago…
So that’s a yes?
Emma knew she probably wasn’t making the best first impression but she was too anxious to care.
Yes. It’s available.
I’ll take it.
You don’t want to look at it first?
No. Pictures look great and it’s only temporary.
Emma’s stomach rolled as she waited for a reply. She needed that place.
I’ll pay you three months in advance.
Welcome aboard. I will take down the listing. I get home around 6 come by anytime after that.
K. See you then.
She gave a little fist pump and knocked her hand into the roof of the bug; ignoring the pain she smiled. It was the victory she desperately needed this week. She wasn’t worried about living with a stranger; she had spent her whole life living with strangers in foster homes and was pretty sure that whoever her roommate was she could handle it.
That evening just before seven Emma parked her bug outside the apartment building and sent a text to let them know she was on her way up. Then she climbed the three flights to the door with a shiny “J” on it. She knocked and waited with only mild apprehension. The door swung open and Emma’s jaw dropped.
“Seriously?”
Standing before her was coffee guy in a black v-neck sweater, jeans, and a smile on his face that was both shocked and pleased.
“Well, lass, this is serendipitous.”
And she knew it wasn’t his fault, that it was the universe punishing her by throwing him in her path over and over when she had decided to never see him again, but she couldn’t help being angry. “That’s one word for it.”
He chuckled, his voice deep and rich. “Now is that any way to treat your new roommate?”
As she looked at his smug grin she thought about turning and walking away but that would mean sleeping in the bug or spending a fortune on a hotel room and tomorrow she would be right back to apartment hunting.
She sighed and stuck out her hand. “Emma Swan”
“Killian Jones” He shook her hand slowly his thumb rubbing against the back of it. She pulled away. His forehead crinkled and she wondered if he felt it too that weird jolt of electricity–the feeling of deja vu when they touched. But if he did he didn’t say anything he just turned aside and swept his arm out. “After you, milady.”
And it was a ridiculous thing to say but he somehow made it sound almost normal. When she walked by she noticed that his left hand wasn’t a hand at all but a prosthetic. She didn’t call attention to it but wondered again just what his story was.
The apartment looked even better than the pictures which annoyed Emma. As he gave her a quick tour she was careful not to look at him and focused on her surroundings instead. When they got to the bedroom that would be hers and he asked if she had any questions she finally turned to him.
He was leaning against the door frame smiling as he watched her and the only question she could think of was if he always looked so damn attractive. She frowned.
“It’s an apartment, not rocket science,” she replied.
He smirked. “Ms. Swan I think this is the start of something beautiful.” She gave him a sarcastic smile. He pushed himself off the doorframe as he dug into the pocket of his jeans. “Here is your key.”
Emma held out her hand and he dropped the key into her palm.
“I made enough dinner for two if you are interested in fish and chips.”
“Not hungry.”
He paused giving her a searching look before nodding and leaving the room.
Emma sank down on the bed–it was soft and she was pretty sure the sheets and duvet were new–and rubbed the key absently. She thought briefly again of just walking away but then chided herself. She was an adult and while Killian Jones was handsome and attractive there was no reason they needed to become involved just because they lived together. Plus she had a sneaking suspicion that if she walked away they would just end up meeting again. She gritted her teeth and then dug into her wallet for the rent money.
She set the cash on the table next to his food. “Three months as promised.”
He didn’t even glance at the money, just fixed her with a wide grin.
“I’m going to get my stuff.”
He half-rose. “Do you need a hand?”
“Is that a joke?” She said flatly and then felt cruel when she saw the way his smile tightened. “It’s just a few boxes.”
He shrugged. “If you insist.”
Emma appreciated him not pressing the issue or making a big deal about her lack of stuff. When she came back up with her boxes he was gone and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn’t see him the rest of the evening–probably because she didn’t leave her room until she was sure he was asleep in his–and the next morning she got up early so she could avoid him again. When she got home late that night there was a note and a plate of food in the microwave but no sign of her roommate and Emma didn’t check to see if he was in his room. She managed to almost entirely avoid him for a week before the early mornings and late nights caught up with her and she woke up with a headache and lungs full of congestion. She still tried to work but her brain was too foggy and halfway through the day she went back to the apartment. She ended up on the couch heavily medicated and watching The Office. Somewhere between Jim returning and the beach party she fell asleep.
When she awoke it was to the sound of someone in the kitchen. She laid there wondering if she could wait for him to leave and then slink off into her room but then she got a whiff of what he was cooking and her stomach grumbled. She let out a groan and sat up.
“Good morning, beautiful,” Killian said in a far too chipper tone.
She glared at him; with matted hair, runny nose, and couch cushion creases on her face she was anything but beautiful. He grinned back as he moved toward her with a steaming bowl.
“Is that?”
“Soup,” he finished as he offered the bowl. “I also made grilled cheese if you are interested.”
Emma felt her mouth water and she must have made a face because Killian’s smile grew as she took the bowl and wordlessly he went back to the kitchen for the sandwiches.
They ate in silence. Emma too hungry to be polite and Killian too polite to try and make small talk. She did keep darting glances to him and occasionally caught him studying her as if she was a math book and he was trying to work out her equations. When she finished she put her bowl on the table and looked at him. She felt suddenly awkward.
“Thank you. For the food.” And she hoped he understood that she meant not just the soup but all the meals she had found waiting for her each night.
He hummed and gave her a look that was familiar though she was positive she had never seen it before. It was mischievous as if he wanted to tease her but was holding back. And her sickness had definitely lowered her barriers because she found herself half-smiling at him.
“What?”
“Oh, I was just thinking about the many ways a person can show gratitude.” And his tongue darted to his lips in a way that spelled trouble. She rolled her eyes.
“Okay, buddy. While you do that I am going to bed.” She stood up and immediately regretted it. Her vision swam with black and she felt herself sway. Killian was suddenly before her his hand and prosthetic at her shoulders. She blinked and waited for the dizziness to clear and when it did she was confronted with Killian’s concerned blue-green eyes.
“I’m fine,” she muttered.
“You sure, love?”
She nodded and he moved back but when Emma took a step the dizziness rushed up and she swayed again. Strong arms came around her and before she could protest she was being lifted up. She was too disoriented to even protest as he carried her toward her room.
“Don’t worry, Swan. I tend to have this effect on women.” And despite feeling like a rung out dishtowel Emma smiled into his chest. He laid her gently down on her unmade bed and then disappeared only to return with a water bottle and some pills. “Now take these and get some sleep,” he said in a no-nonsense tone.
“Aye, aye Captain.”
He looked surprised for a moment and then nodded. “Right. I’ll be outside just call if you need anything.”
He walked out and closed the door quietly. Emma took her medicine and turned over in her bed, her heart swelling with something foreign. It felt nice to have someone take care of her. To be sick and but not alone was a new experience for her and instead of giving herself a lecture she gave a little smile and then drifted back to sleep.
The next morning there were eggs waiting for her and a note in a flowy script encouraging her to get better. That night Emma made dinner for the both of them and when Killian came home she didn’t run into her room but stayed and ate with him. The only indication that he noticed a change was the occasional arching of his eyebrow and the twitching of his lips from a suppressed smile. They talked and Emma was relieved to discover that Killian was both interesting and funny.
It turned out that he worked on a sailboat taking rich tourists out on the water or doing private cruises and had a wealth of stories to share. When Emma told him about her job he grinned.
“I knew you were a tough lass.”
She tried hard not to preen at his compliment. It was a nice change to have a guy impressed by her profession. After they finished eating he insisted on doing dishes and though Emma slipped back into her room immediately she didn’t set her alarm for an early wake-up.
After that Emma no longer tried to avoid Killian. They would get ready in the mornings on top of each other. Trading off shower time and brushing their teeth together became a habit. There were a few awkward moments– like when she forgot her robe and had to run to her room in nothing but a towel or when he came out of his room with his dress shirt unbuttoned and Emma spilled her milk in her distraction– but none of it made her want to go back to avoiding him. If they were both home at night, which happened more often than not, they would have dinner together and watch something on the TV. It became easy and familiar in a way Emma hadn’t thought possible and she wondered why she had resisted getting to know him in the first place.
Killian never asked questions about her past and it took Emma awhile to realize it was because he didn’t want to answer questions about his. And that was something they shared in addition to their sense of humor and taste in food. Killian continued to make the occasional innuendo but he never tried to push their relationship beyond a friendship and Emma was grateful that he wasn’t interested in over-complicating things. But there were times when she caught an expression or look in his eyes and she knew that if she gave him proper encouragement he would be very eager for some complications. But being friends was as far as Emma would allow herself to go and most days she was bewildered at her letting him in even that far. After two weeks she started to feel an impending sense of doom. There was no way her life could ever be this good.
Weeks went by and nothing happened. Killian didn’t get on her nerves or suddenly reveal himself to be an ax murderer. He was sensitive, funny and kind, and she found herself wanting to be around him and texting him during the day. Work was profitable and her skips easy to find. Life was practically perfect and Emma continued to distrust it. When would the other shoe drop?
She started to pick fights with Killian. She gave him a hard time about the volume of the television or leaving dishes out but he didn’t rise to the bait; just gave her a searching look or a sarcastic comment. She wanted him to push her away, to prove what she knew deep down was going to happen eventually, he would get bored with her, he would leave her. And when he didn’t she just got angrier. So she decided to leave instead.
She was in the middle of packing her clothes when he got home and started calling for her.
“Swan? I’m too tired to cook. I was thinking of ordering take–“ He paused in the doorway. “What’s going on?”
She refused to look at him. “I am moving to New York.” He didn’t respond. Her declaration hung between them as she continued to throw things in her box. His steps were heavy on the carpet as he moved behind her. He placed a hand on her arm but she shook it off.
“You can keep the rent money I won’t need it.” She ignored his proximity. There was another loaded pause.
“Don’t run away from me.” His voice was thick with emotion and she couldn’t stop herself from turning to look at him.
His eyes pierced her and struck at her already aching heart. “Emma, please stay. I know you are scared but give me a chance.”
Her heart hammered in her chest as she swayed toward him. “I can’t take the chance that I am wrong about you.”
“I would never hurt you, Emma.”
She looked into his eyes, so open and honest, and knew he was telling the truth. In that moment she knew he wouldn’t leave her or let her down like so many others had. On instinct, she closed the distance between them.
The kiss was intense, their lips sliding and tongues tangling, but also achingly familiar; as if she had kissed him before and somehow forgotten it. When she broke the kiss, Killian chased her lips and she smiled as he drew her back in. It was a perfect moment but in the back of her mind she felt a twinge of disquiet. She pulled away.
“This is wrong,” she murmured. Killian’s mouth twisted into a frown. “Not you,” she shook her head and stroked his cheek “It’s something else, something just not right. We aren’t supposed to be…” she trailed off.
“Emma I have no desire to pressure you. If you still want to go–“
“No.” She surprised herself with her vehemence. “It’s not that, not anymore. It’s just everything. My life is too good, it’s too easy. Does that, does that make any sense?” Emma was sure she sounded like a lunatic but then Killian’s forehead creased and he nodded.
“Aye.”
“Really?”
He scratched behind his ear. “It’s strange because I feel happy but I also feel as if I don’t deserve to be happy. As if I am not worthy of such a life.”
“Exactly! It’s like a happy ending in a fairytale but fairytales aren’t real.” Killian smirked. “What?”
“Oh nothing, love, but I do believe you just called me your happy ending.”
She rolled her eyes. “That’s not what I said.”
He hummed looking unconvinced and so she punched him which earned her another knee-weakening kiss.
This time when they broke apart she licked her lips and caught her breath before speaking.
“I’m serious Killian this just doesn’t seem real.”
And the moment she said it she felt a thrill of truth run up her spine. Startled she looked around the bedroom and suddenly felt that she was looking at a painting–an approximation of a room, not a real place.
“Well, you just had to go and ruin it.”
Emma jerked from Killian’s arms to turn and see a smug-faced, blonde, teenage, boy leaning against her doorframe.
“Bloody hell.”
“Who–“ Emma started to ask but before she could finish she knew the answer. “Pan”
The magic fell from her mind and she remembered. After they rescued Neal she had gotten separated from the group and wandered until she had run into Hook. Then Pan had shown up spouting nonsense about giving the Savior a happy ending.
“You know this magic has kept men occupied for years. Remember Starkey Hook? How he loved getting lost in my little paradise?”
“Starkey,” Killian said like it was a revelation.
Pan nodded. “But you Emma, you can’t even be distracted for one night with your happy ending even with your pirate along for the ride. Magic gave you a perfect little life and you still had to find fault in it. Guess you really are a little lost girl who can never believe that she will be happy even in her fantasy land.”
Something in Emma snapped and she rushed at Pan but as she did the room melted away and she found herself surrounded by a thicket of bushes.
“Damn it.” She kicked at the air wanting badly to hit something. She spun around to see Killian, back in his pirate clothes and lost in thought. She knew they should probably talk about the weird spell they had been under but she needed to get back to her parents and to save Henry. How long had they been under the spell? It had felt like months but Pan had said it had only been a night.
“Do you know how to get back to camp,” she asked abruptly.
Killian snapped from his thoughts and looked around. What he saw in the never-ending green Emma didn’t know but he nodded and began to move.
They walked in silence and while Emma was worried about her family she couldn’t help thinking about what had just happened and what Pan had said. Had the magic truly given her a happy ending or just a twisted version that Pan thought she would enjoy? It wasn’t that she hadn’t been happy it just hadn’t felt like true happiness. Maybe because real happiness needed to be earned? Killian was just ahead of her and she wanted to ask him what he thought but he didn’t seem interested in conversation. It was probably for the best since she was still trying to reconcile Captain Hook with the roommate she had been living with for months.
When they emerged into the camp everyone came running. Her mother and father asked where she had been while Regina’s eyes darted between her and Hook as if that was all the explanation she needed.
“Pan caught us in some magical trap,” Emma explained. “But…uh…we escaped.”
“How?” Regina asked infusing the word with more skepticism than Emma had thought possible for a single syllable.
“The demon underestimated Miss Swan. A failure in judgment I believe you share with him.”
Emma felt a swell a pride at Killian’s words.
Regina rolled her eyes. “Whatever.” And mercilessly the subject was dropped. Emma darted a glance at Hook intending to thank him but he was moving away and her mother was drawing her close.
“Neal went looking for you.” Mary-Margaret gave her a look that Emma pointedly ignored. She really didn’t have room in her head to deal with Neal or her mother’s not-so-subtle hints about him.
“Yeah well, looks like I didn’t need his help.” Emma winced at the bitterness of her tone. “Sorry. I’m just tired. It’s been a long day.”
Her parents nodded sympathetically.
“Of course Emma we understand,” Mary-Margaret said.
“Actually we should go get Regina to call Neal back with that magic walkie-talkie thing,” David said. He planted a kiss on her forehead and then pulled his wife away with him.
Emma sighed. Having parents was harder than she imagined as a kid. Maybe that’s why they weren’t part of her little fake reality? Too much complication? Or maybe Pan was right, maybe she was too broken to ever even consider loving parents or family a possibility in her life.
Lost in her thoughts she wandered over to the fire where Killian sat staring into the flames with his flask in hand. She stood looking at him for a long moment but he didn’t acknowledge her presence. The Killian she had shared an apartment with had been all smiles and innuendoes but Emma realized that had been part of the unreality–Killian wasn’t Killian without his brooding.
She sat down beside him but not close enough to touch.
“Killian, about what happened–“
“You needn’t worry, Swan. I won’t divulge your secret.”
“No. I’m not worried about that.” He turned to her with a raised eyebrow. “I want to understand how the magic worked. Did Pan create it or did I create it or was it a little of both of us?”
He gave a harsh chuckle. “Oh, I think it’s rather obvious it was Pan’s creation.”
“Why? Because Henry wasn’t there?”
“That and the addition of a certain devilishly handsome suitor are pretty big clues.” He gave her a mocking smile. “Pan overestimated my charms when it came to you, love. And in doing so gave his game away.” He tipped his flask toward her before taking a long pull.
Emma opened her mouth to contradict him and then closed it. The happy fantasy version of Emma had taken months and lots of serendipitous events–probably intervention by Pan now that she thought of it– before she had been able to let Killian in, what chance did regular, lost girl, Emma have? And yet she couldn’t let Killian think that she felt nothing for him, that the reason the fantasy had fallen apart was because she couldn’t, even under influence of magic, imagine being with him.
“I think it was a bit of me and a bit of Pan.”
Killian snorted and Emma could see he was determined to believe that she didn’t care. Stubbornly she continued.
“You and me that’s not what gave the magic away.”
“No?” He tossed her a carefully bored look. But she wasn’t fooled she could see the spark of hope behind his mask.
“Naw. It was the apartment. A place that size in central Boston, for that price? That’s the real fantasy.”
His laugh was short but genuine and the smile that lingered after told Emma that he understood, that he was willing to wait for her to figure herself out, just like he had in Boston. And as she stood and moved to her bedroll she wondered if maybe her and Killian being together wasn’t so much of a fantasy after all.
I told you I would somehow make it in Neverland! Hope you liked it!

A 10-minute crash course on Google Data Studio
This is a guest post from Ben Collins – freelance data analyst and developer, and founder of The Collins School of Data.
What is Google Data Studio?
Data Studio is Google’s free data visualization and business intelligence reporting tool. It was launched in mid-2016 and came out of beta mode in October 2018.
It has a simple drag-and-drop interface, so you can easily add charts and build reports without needing any deep technical knowledge.
The premise is that you can connect all of your disparate business data sources and easily build beautiful, interactive dashboard reports to display that information, atop Google’s super-reliable, powerful, scalable architecture.
Why use it?
Ultimately, Data Studio is a tool you use as the final piece of your data analytics pipeline, to show your results visually and share insights and answers with others.
It’s free, which is a significant factor considering the steep cost of alternatives.
It’s simple and intuitive, so it doesn’t take long to get the hang of the basics. It’s very quick to create dashboards once you know the basics.
If you’re already using Google products in your analytics workflow, then it’s super easy to hook them up to Data Studio.
You get sharing and collaboration seamlessly built-in.
Of course, it has the reliability, scalability and support that only Google can provide.
It all starts with the data
The old adage “garbage in, garbage out” is as applicable to visual reporting as to any other sphere of computing.
Data Studio dashboards consist of two parts: the dashboard (obviously!) and the data source.
There are currently 18 Google Connectors which connect different Google platforms directly into Data Studio. One of these connectors is Google Sheets, which means that any data you can get into a Google Sheet is accessible for visualizing in Data Studio. In addition, you’ll see direct file uploads, popular SQL databases, BigQuery, Google Analytics, YouTube, Ads, Google Cloud services etc.
Tumblr media
In addition, there are over a hundred partner connectors, which connect other third-party tools directly into Data Studio, although some of these connectors are paid services.
Finally, there are a handful of open source connectors and if you’re a developer, you can create your own community connector.
Data Studio works equally well for Google Sheets tables with 10 rows as it does with huge SQL or BigQuery datasets with millions of rows of data.
The first consideration, before you even open Google Data Studio, is to ensure that your data is ready, i.e. it’s accurate and complete.
Has it been de-duplicated? Have you checked that the numbers make sense? Do you have “impossible” dates way in the past or the future? Have you got spelling mistakes that will cause items to be wrongly categorized? Are you missing any data? Why is there no data for the month of May for example? (There could be a legitimate reason, but it’s important to know.)
It should be accurate and complete before you create and share a visual report which others may use to make decisions with.
Data Studio crash course
Ok, a quick crash course then:
1. Navigate to https://datastudio.google.com
Tumblr media
2. Click the big blue + symbol to create a new report.
3. In the right side pane, click “CREATE NEW DATA SOURCE” at the bottom:
Tumblr media
4. In this example, I’ve used Google Sheets, which is probably the easiest data source to start with, although feel free to connect to your MySQL or PostgreSQL databases.
5. Choose a Spreadsheet (here’s an example dataset, feel free to copy if you want). Then choose a Worksheet and Options in the Data Source window:
Tumblr media
6. Next you’re presented with a list of fields that Google has imported from your data source. It shows the different settings for the fields (such as the data type and aggregation). You’re free to modify fields if you need to. When you’re ready click “ADD TO REPORT”
Tumblr media
7. Your next screen is Data Studio itself, which has that familiar Google UX and easy drag-and-drop interface:
Tumblr media
You have:
Menu bar
Chart options. Drag and drop charts from here onto the canvas
Text, Image and Shape objects to add to dashboards.
Controls to download, embed, make fullscreen, refresh and share your report
Filtering controls, which allow you to add date filters, field filters and data filters
Options pane in the sidebar, which will relate to the object currently selected in the canvas.
The dashboard canvas.
The View button which toggles into presentation mode (which is how others will see your dashboard if you share it).
The best advice at this stage is to experiment with the tool.
Connect to different data sources and try all the different charts to see what they do.
I find it helpful to work with small, simple datasets in Google Sheets so I can see the data side-by-side with the Data Studio report.
Pro Tip for Data Studio
Once you’ve used Data Studio for a little while, you’ll want to use filters with your charts. By default, when you add a filter it applies to your entire dashboard, i.e. to any and all of the charts in your dashboard.
Sooner or later though, you’ll want a filter that just operates on a specific chart only. So how do you do that?
Select the filter and the specific chart that you want to sync together, by either dragging a box across them both or holding down Ctrl (or Cmd on a Mac) as you select both. With them both selected, right click and choose Group:
Tumblr media
Bingo! The filter will now be joined to this chart only.
Data visualization best practices
Data Visualization is a huge and complex topic. One that people can make whole careers out of studying.
However, there are a handful of universally accepted best practices that will dramatically improve your reports if implemented. And they’re not hard, you just need to remember to keep them in mind.
Choose the most suitable chart
Different charts exist for different situations and it pays to use the one most suited to the task at hand.
There’s a tendency to favor fancy, all-singing-all-dancing charts that grab readers’ attention, but oftentimes simpler, well established charts like bar charts and line charts are preferable because people understand them.
It’s also good to keep in mind that there’s no perfect chart (and corollary, no perfect dashboard)!
Consider this comparison of a pie chart and bar chart, showing the same Google Analytics sessions data by country:
Tumblr media
The pie chart gives a really clear picture that half our traffic is from the U.S. but it does a lousy job if we’re trying to understand the other countries or absolute values. Pie charts are a poor choice for showing data with many categories.
Consider the same data in bar chart format:
Tumblr media
It’s easier to read values for the other countries. It shows how reliant this website is on U.S. traffic, although it doesn’t give us the proportion easily. Also, it doesn’t show that there are more countries in the long tail, with even less traffic.
Keep it simple and avoid clutter
The goal is to reduce the cognitive processing time used by the reader of your report to understand your message.
If the reader has to wade through dense tables, or interpret difficult charts, then there’s a higher chance they will fail to absorb the information, misunderstand your message or, worst of all, switch off and abandon the report.
As the designer of the chart or dashboard, you can remove unnecessary clutter from the charts or dashboards (e.g. do you need a legend for only one line? Probably not.).
Focus on the story
Taking it one step further, you can help your reader by providing context around your visuals.
There are a few techniques you can use to achieve this.
Use colors to bring attention to your message.
Use words to inform the reader and provide context.
Add labels to important points on your charts.
Consider a before and after chart makeover of this relatively simple line chart, showing the fluctuating revenue of four products over a 30 day period:
Tumblr media
It takes you a few minutes to pick out the story from this chart because it’s hard to see Product C since the lines are all overlapping.
Instead, look at this same chart with some small tweaks to call out Product C and tell that story. The reader is much more likely to absorb your message in a much shorter time. The chart is more compelling because it has purpose.
Tumblr media
Product C has been colored red to bring it to the reader’s attention, and the other products have been colored grey to push them into the background. However, they’re still visible to provide context.
The label for the Product C line is next to the line, so it’s quick and easy to see.
The title has been changed to explain the chart and help the reader quickly understand what the chart is showing.
These were three fairly minor changes — the underlying data and the chart are identical — but they’ve had a significant impact.
Advanced options
This article has only touched the tip of the iceberg with Google Data Studio.
There’s so much more you can do, so let me mention some of the advanced options that are available:
Data Blending. Do you need data from different sources shown side-by-side? No problem. By using a common field in both datasets (e.g. date) you can blend the data and show for example revenue and users in the same chart.
Calculated Fields. Calculated fields are like formulas in your spreadsheets. You can apply transformations to columns of data inside of Data Studio. A very simple example might be to transform an entire column to uppercase. A more complex example might be using the CASE statement to categorize different referring domains in Google Analytics into specific groups.
Getting creative with the default charts. Even though there are a limited number of charts, you can do a surprising amount of customization once you know a few tricks.
For developers, you can create custom data connections to web APIs and also embed your own custom chart types.
Resources
Ask questions and search for answers on the Google Data Studio forum.
Don’t get stuck staring at a blank canvas. Take inspiration from the work of others at Data Studio gallery. Remember: great artists steal!
If you’re really interested in furthering your data visualization skills, I’d recommend getting involved in the Makeover Monday community. Every Monday the community creates visualizations from the same dataset. It’s fascinating to see the different approaches people have and learn by trying to recreate what other people have created.
Finally, I publish Data Studio tutorials on my own site here.

Google’s Chrome browser got a big facelift, and new features, for its 10th birthday
New Post has been published on https://nexcraft.co/googles-chrome-browser-got-a-big-facelift-and-new-features-for-its-10th-birthday/
Google’s Chrome browser got a big facelift, and new features, for its 10th birthday
We live in our browsers, clicking between tabs as we work (or “work”). But just like you can choose what computer to buy, or email service to use, so too can you pick your browser—Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, to name the major ones. It’s a big commitment.
Worldwide, one browser is king, according to a service called StatCounter: Google’s Chrome. By that site’s estimate, Chrome’s market share is nearly 60 percent, while Apple’s native browser, Safari, is currently around 14 percent. Those percentages change if you focus just on the United States, but Chrome is dominant there, too.
It’s been a decade since Google released Chrome to the hungry internet-browsing masses, and to mark that ten-year milestone, the Mountain View-based company is releasing a major update (they usually update it every six weeks, but this one is more significant than usual). Here are some new features it’s rolling out, plus other useful tricks you may not have known about.
It looks different!
In the old version of Chrome, the tabs had pointy corners. The new tabs have a totally new shape that rounds off those pointy edges, and the tabs you’re not using are now separated by simple little vertical lines. Icons, the color scheme, and the user interface in general has been updated. “These updates have a simpler look and will (hopefully) boost your productivity,” Google said in a blog post announcing the anniversary and the rationalle behind the changes. It’s worth updating for the new, cleaner look alone.
Google has also improved the password manager; the company says it will now focus on spurring people to make their password choices stronger by suggesting a more robust string of characters. (Safari already did this.) The way Chrome automatically fills in content on a webpage—like your address, credit card, or passwords—is more accurate now too, according to Google.
Google is boosting the capabilities of that central bar at the top of the browser, which they call the Omnibox. Among the changes: in the near future, you’ll be able to search your Google Drive files by typing into that Omnibox instead of just punching in URLs or searching the web, as it does now. It’ll also provide information answering some of your search queries right there, too.
There’s a secret game!
Chrome already had a hidden game: it’s a cute jumping dinosaur. A little T-rex pops up on the browser’s “no internet” page when you try to load a site but don’t have an internet connection. Even if you do have a connection, you can manually go there by typing this into the search bar: chrome://dino. Start playing by hitting the spacebar, and then make the dino jump over cacti by hitting the same button. Or, if you’re on a mobile device, just tap the dinosaur to start playing, then touch the screen to make him jump like you’re a dinosaur puppeteer. Fun times!
Now Google has given that poor dinosaur a blue hat to celebrate the birthday. It’s the same game, the T-rex just has a hat now, which he dons after running into a birthday cake. (A factual note: birthday cakes and hats didn’t exist during the age of the dinosaurs.)
Tab life
Chances are, you have more tabs open on your browser than you know what to do with. Before today’s update, Chrome already offered tools for managing them: You could hit “ctrl” plus the tab key to cycle between them (on a Mac, that’s control plus tab); you could also drag one out so it becomes its own window, or you could pin it to the left for future reference. (You pin tabs by right-clicking on them. Right-clicking them also gives you other options, like muting the audio playing from a tab, or even opening one you just closed by accident.)
Another trick that could save you some time: you can press ctrl then a number on your keyboard to jump to that specific tab. For example, ctrl + 3 will bring you to the third tab from the left (on Mac, use your command key to do this). You can also hold down ctrl and then select multiple tabs to drag off into their own window.
Access to translation
Loading a website in a foreign language frequently gives you the chance to translate it—in Chrome, a box will pop up and ask if you want it to be translated. But if you don’t see that box, a good shortcut is to force the issue by right-clicking on the page that’s in the foreign tongue. You’ll see the option there to translate it from that drop-down menu.
So when do I get to try it?
Beginning today and throughout the week, the update will start rolling out to users. You’ll know when it’s there for you to grab when you see a green arrow at the top of your browser.
If you’re excited and want to manually check for an update, click on the three dots stacked vertically on the right side of the browser bar, then Help, then “About Google Chrome.” That will prompt your browser to check for an update. If you haven’t updated to the newest version yet, you’re probably running version 68.0. The new one is 69.0.
For mobile devices, updating to the latest version on your iOS (where Chrome’s toolbar will now be at the bottom) or Android gadget will happen through the App Store of Google Play, respectively.
