On this here February 1st, I'll be showing some love for the 21st Nova Corps, a unit lead by Marshal Commander Bacara and Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi. I couldn't find any other named clones from this unit outside of Bacara, and I haven't written for this guy before, so I'll do some headcanons just for him :)

The 21st Nova Corps

I did a quick dive on Wookiepedia first, and here were some things that stood out to me from what's apparently already been canonized:

The 21st Nova Corps has a reputation for being relentless and exceptionally conditioned/disciplined.

This is in large part due to Bacara having super high expectations, he will kick anyone who doesn't meet them out of the squad, even without Ki-Adi-Mundi's approval.

Actually described as being "at odds with" Mundi, though in another section was said to have a grudging respect for him.

Bacara utilizes aggressive tactics and is extremely strict. He ignores the recommended GAR practice for commanders to remain inconspicuous in battle, and instead chooses to lead his troops from the front.

He's described as a loner and stern. I saw somewhere he was besties with Neyo, too, and they developed combat techniques together.

With that foundation, here are some headcanons I have for him:

Doesn't talk much, but not because he's shy or emotionally constipated. He really only cares about war and rarely meets people who are interested in discussing the topic with as much passion.

Like seriously, he has no other hobbies or interests. Music? Never heard of it. Sports? Boring. Holo-films? Food? Knitting? Yeah no, he's already walking away from this conversation.

If he is comfortable with someone though, he can talk about battle strategies for daaaays.

Fucking hates milk.

Has a mind for improvement. Not quite a perfectionist, he just won't ever settle for "good enough" when something better is still achievable.

Thus, he's constantly working angles in his head, coming up with possible solutions, thinking outside the box. Even for common, everyday situations like getting out of traffic or folding the laundry.

Jason Bourne vibes.

Has one small tattoo on his foot, will never say what it is.

Natural at picking up languages. Fluent in Mando'a but can carry simple conversations in plenty of others.

Spends his R&Rs pouring over wartime history/strategy books in the archives, with a beer.

If someone asked him on a date, he would straight-up say "why?" So confused.

He would be a pretty good partner, though, if he ever opened himself up romantically.

And if he could ever find someone who meets his high standards...

I also read that he was featured on a GAR campaign poster, and I firmly believe he secretly has a massive print of it taped to the back of his closet door.

Can not roll his tongue. Every other clone can and it pisses him off.

Has the best laugh you've ever heard in your life. He does use it occasionally, but very randomly. Not even his squad has been able to work out what exactly his sense of humor is.

His squad... All are just as intense and passionate as their commander. When they're not fighting, they're training to fight. There's no room for shenanigans or relaxing.

Other clones keep a respectful distance. They know the Nova Corps get sent to some pretty hardcore places.

Most of them have never set foot in 79s, or any bar for that matter.

Bacara goes every once in a while, because he does like a good beer, but he's very out of place. Just... kinda sits there... not doing anything...

He gets hit on a lot because he's smoking hot but has never taken anyone home. Not opposed to the idea of getting laid, but it would take a lot to catch his eye.

Eeeevery once in a while, when life gets a little too still and his thoughts wander past all the combat tactics and weapon factoids that are usually in the way, a deep and vulnerable feeling makes its way to the surface and almost cripples him: loneliness.

He has no idea what to do about it, so rather than face it like he would a charging battalion of droids, he instead pushes it right back down and moves on.

Okay but now I'm imagining Queer Eye showing up to help Bacara find some hobbies and a girlfriend 😂

Heart of the Ocean 💙 | Teen Wolf Miniseries Part 1

Takes place in between 3A & 3B of Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf Masterlist | part 2

Characters & Pairings: Hale/McCall Pack x supernatural!reader (female/platonic), eventual Peter Hale x reader (romantic), reader x male!oc ( past romance) & reader x supernatural!reader (platonic). Characters in this imagine: Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Allison Argent, Isaac Lahey, Derek Hale, Peter Hale.

Content Warnings: light angst, profanity, references of historical event disaster, mentions of death, blood, murder | afab!reader (she/her pronouns) | wc: 3.1k

Requested 📨 yes/no (rules for requests)

Premise: Suspicious deaths were a common occurrence in Beacon Hills—especially after things seem to be actually looking good when a previous problem is fixed. Now Scott and the pack are having to investigate a string of murders happening that not only reek of supernatural, but linked to an renowned event they’ve learned in history class.

Note: I’m hyperfixating on Titanic as of late so I have a lot of ideas involving AU’s and retelling with various fandoms. I just did a TGM au with Bradley Bradshaw and currently have a Twilight one in the works so expect a lot of Titanic in my works when I’m not writing requests.

————————————

Riddles were a tricky little thing. And when used in a malevolent way where to find the answer to a solution one must crack the code, riddles can become a person’s worst enemy.

And the one laying on the table of Derek’s loft was becoming their enemy.

Murders, which was becoming a common occurrence lately in Beacon Hills, were happening where the people were nearly drained of their blood by cutting their throats and wrists before letting them hang upside down. Stiles' father was overwhelmed with stress. Not to mention he was having to come to terms with the reality his town was a beating heart for supernatural creatures. Like how his sons best friend since childhood was a fucking werewolf.

And while it was presumed a human serial killer was responsible for the murders, the pack had an inkling it was more sinister. Investigating on their own they found more suspicious reasons to believe it was supernatural.

Only problem, they had no clue who or what it was.

They were all gathered over the table—save for Peter who was nestled on the couch. Stiles was rubbing a thumb over his lip, becoming frustrated as he was usually on top of solving riddles. Lydia was beside him, deep in thought as she read over the paper silently.

“He just left this here?” Scott glanced at Derek, who was standing with his arms crossed on the opposite side of the table.

“Right outside the door. Like he wanted us to find it.”

“And you heard nothing?” Stiles’ question earned him a glare. “Super hearing and you didn’t hear someone stabbing a piece of paper into your front door?”

“If I did you think I would’ve let him leave the damn note?” Derek spoke harshly.

“Riddle.”

“—knowing all it is is a distraction so he can kill more people.”

“It’s not just a distraction,” Allison interrupted the two bickering, staring hard at the note. “It’s an order. He’s asking us to find someone.”

“Yeah,” Isaac scoffed, “who we have no idea is.”

“Read it again,” Scott sighed, running a hand through his hair. With a huff, Stiles took the paper in his hands, clearing his throat before reading aloud for all to hear.

Have you figured it out yet?

Were my clues not enough?

You’re thinking too hard now,

Let me show you it’s not so tough.

Our faces the same,

As they were the day we changed.

Only the eyes no longer its color,

A price for the exchange.

You’ll find it almost disheartening,

When you learn of what we do.

Our nature is uncanny,

But it’s not so far from you.

Find the one I’m looking for,

And I’ll stop the chaos and the pain.

Are you ready?

Here’s your hint.

Time is of the essence,

So you better make it quick.

Wearing the Heart of the Ocean,

She’s closer than it seems.

For I seek the one I turned,

Who was on the Ship of Dreams.

Silence fills the loft, everyone thinking hard of what it could mean. There were so many clues but so vague it was difficult to puzzle them together.

“Well we know it’s someone supernatural,” Isaac hummed, attempting to lighten the situation.

“Yeah we got that genius,” Peter muttered.

“And he’s looking for a woman,” Allison added, ignoring Peter’s sarcasm. “Someone he turned. And was on a ship?” It comes out more like a question, “that could mean a lot of things.”

“Could it be a werewolf?” Scott turned to Derek

The man shook his head, “I don’t think so.”

“But the thing about the eyes—.”

“Many shapeshifters' eyes are like ours. That doesn’t mean it’s a wolf. Plus he said they’re not wolves.”

“How do you know?”

Derek rolls his eyes as though it were obvious, “he wrote, ‘our nature is uncanny, but it’s not so far from you,’. If they were wolves he would’ve said so.”

“Maybe another Kanima?” Allison suggested, “the master looking for his puppet?”

Stiles cuts in, narrowing his eyes on the last verse, “Why would he bold the first and last line of the last clue—these ones,” he places the paper flat on the table. Lydia, the closest to him, leans in as his finger points to the verse. “Heart of the Ocean and the—.”

“Ship of Dreams,” she finishes, voice going low as realization hits her. All eyes turn to her, confusion in their gaze until the name leaves her lips. “Titanic.”

“What?” The question came from Scott, but all were thinking the same. There’s no way she was talking about the most famous shipwreck in history.

“Titanic,” Lydia repeated, this time more confidently. Her own finger came up to point where Stiles' finger had been. “They used to call it the Ship of Dreams.”

“Titanic?” Isaac’s tone was full of doubt. “You mean the ship that sank a century ago?” He couldn’t help but add, “And the movie Leonardo DiCaprio dies in.”

She rolls her eyes, “I don’t recall any other having the same name.”

“The anniversary is coming up,” Derek starts to say, deep in thought like it was all coming together. “It would make sense.”

“Wait—hold on,” Stiles lifts a dramatic hand. “We’re talking about THE Titanic—like Isaac said—that sank a hundred years ago. A hundred,” he repeats to show his point. “Anyone who is alive—even if they were a werewolf or shapeshifter or whatever the hell you want to call it,” he glances at each of them, “would pretty much be on their last breath of life. If this woman were a newborn baby at the time she’d be at least one hundred years old by now.”

In the debate none had noticed Peter moved from the couch to the window. The chuckle leaving his mouth caught their attention. Stiles makes a sound, “I’m sorry, do you wanna share with the class what you obviously know that we’re missing?”

“Our faces are the same,” he says the opening line of the second verse, only drawing confusion and annoyed looks from the others. “As they were the day we changed.” The man pauses, letting it sink in before continuing, “If the woman he’s looking for was on Titanic then she likely was an adult. Considering he turned her, probably by saving her from freezing to death or drowning, and she wears the same face she did the night she was turned…” Peter steps away from the window, now facing the group.

“She’s not aging. At all. Meaning…..she’s immortal.”

The silence following his confession is eerie, eyes flicking over each other to see if they were reacting the same. Immortal. Though the term was familiar it felt almost foreign. Never had they dealt with someone immortal. Unable to die and was walking the Earth acting as though they were human. Now Beacon Hills had two in its possession. They needed to work fast and the riddle only had pieces of the puzzles.

So who—or more like what, was immortal?

"What are you getting to?” Scott narrowed his eyes, Wanting a straightforward answer to what they were dealing with.

Peter clasps his hands behind his back, slowly inching forward,” It’s not shapeshifters you’re looking for.” He takes a step closer, “or a Kanima and its master.” Another step, “or a dark Druid.” Another step brings him right next to Derek, eyes flicking to the paper. “There are few creatures blessed with immortality—or cursed if you look at it another way. But most of them are born with it. Take Gods and fairies for example.”

“Oh my God—those exist?” Stiles feels his mind implode, “Are we about to fight Gods?”

“No,” annoyed at being interrupted Peter rolled his eyes. “I just said those are immortals that are born with their powers. And I don’t know if they exist, I’ve haven’t met one yet. Anyway, this one—.” His finger touches the riddle, “was turned. And likely the person who did was too.”

“So what is it then,” Scott was becoming impatient. And who could blame him really. For all they know it someone was already being drained of their blood at that very moment. “What’s the immortal that’s turned not born?”

“Come one,” he scoffs, like he couldn’t believe they hadn’t figured it out. “Ever wonder why the victims were drained of their blood?” The one question had everyone's face become colorless. “Has Stiles's father not caught on the wounds were made after they were dead?” Why their throat was slashed….but had two little puncture holes on either side?” Peter glances around at every person, catching the nervousness of their gaze as though they already knew what he was about to say but wished it wasn’t.

“The creatures you’re looking for…..are vampires.”

The rest of the night the pack was gathering as much information as they could about the passengers aboard Titanic—all 2,240 of them—while also trying to figure out any other clues within the riddle. They still couldn’t believe it was a vampire responsible for the murders. And that he was hunting someone he created who, still to their shock, was a passenger aboard Titanic.

And with 2,240 people on the ship during its ill fated maiden voyage…they were in for a long night.

“Okay so we know they’re vampires—our killer is the one who turned the woman he’s searching for into a vampire. She was on Titanic when it sank meaning—,” Stiles wrote furiously across the notepad, the riddle next right beside it. “He was on it too. Now we could narrow this down several ways. Either by searching through the passengers class or going through who survived because as Lydia pointed out,” the hand holding the pen points to the redhead, “RMS Carpathia recorded the names of the survivors before they reached New York.”

Either method was good, but there was a problem with the latter. As Allison pointed out, “but what if they never knew she was there? I mean having a newly turned vampire on a ship filled with people is a recipe for disaster.”

Derek nods, agreeing with her, “Her eyes would’ve made it obvious.”

“How so?” Asked Isaac.

Peter is the one to explain, “Vampires in our world are different from what you see on TV. They aren’t these pale, corpse-like, individuals who look like they belong in the morgue. They’re rather human-like if they’re equipped with a special glimmer that allows them to come off as mortal.”

“Glimmer?” Lydia raised a brow, finding the word a bit comical given the creature they were dealing with.

“We’ll get to that. But any vampire who’s newly turned will have red eyes—blood red eyes.”

“How fitting,” Stiles couldn’t help but groan. “So what, are you saying she’s likely wearing contacts to hide her eyes.”

“Possibly,” Peter hums with a shrug, “wouldn’t be surprised if she is. This day in age makes it easier for vampires to conceal their nature. But considering our little vampire was turned in 1912…her creator probably hid her on the Carpathia—or as outrageous as it sounds, swam her across the remainder of the Atlantic ocean.”

Derek closes the book in front of him, detailing the events of the RMS Carpathia rescue of Titanic’s passengers. “However he saved her can wait,” he leans his hands onto the table, “We need to figure out the last clue of this riddle.” Moving the riddle to him, Derek reads, “Wearing the Heart of the Ocean, she’s closer than it seems.”

Lydia bites her lip, typing away on her laptop. “If I didn’t know it any better…it sounds like he’s trying to reference a piece of jewelry. Probably a necklace or something.”

Peter rubs his jaw deep in thought, “That could be the source of her glimmer.”

“The necklace?” Stiles wonders aloud.

“Usually most vampires would prefer a ring or bracelet,” he waves a hand, “It’s small and concealable. Very easy for a Druid to enchant the item and allow the vampire to give off the effect to other supernatural beings they’re human. Prevents them from being obliterated by the sun. That’s their glimmer. Sealed within the jewelry to act as a camouflage. So long as they have it on,” he shrugs lightly, “you’d never know what they truly are.”

“And she’s been passing off as a human in Beacon Hills. For God knows how long,” Lydia opens a separate browser, hands hovering over the keyboard. “If her necklace has a name like Heart of the Ocean it shouldn’t be too hard to find. We find the Heart of the Ocean, we find her.” Her words have Allison come over beside her, realization crossing her face.

“Isn’t that the name of the necklace Rose wore in the movie?” Right as she finished her sentence, the image popped up on the screen of said necklace after Lydia typed the name into Google. “So it was real after all?”

“Appears to be,” Lydia was just as amazed. Stiles leans over her other side, eyes bulging at the sight of the large blue heart-shaped diamond surrounded by tiny little white ones.

“That’s gotta be worth a billion dollars.”

“350 million to be exact,” Lydia reads off. “At least today it is. Back then it was worth probably not even a quarter of that price—but still big for its time.”

“So…” Isaac taps his finger to his mouth, glaring up at the ceiling from where he was seated, legs perched on the table. “We’re looking for a vampire—probably at least 120 give or take a few years—who is passing off as human because of a magic necklace worth more than our entire lives. Wonderful.”

Scott takes a glance, letting out a whistle, “That had to have belonged to a first-class passenger. I’d say we start there.”

“On it,” Lydia begins to search records of the names aboard Titanic with First-class tickets. While she’s doing that the pack gathers to the makeshift board Stiles had created, adding notes to it as they go.

Stiles tapes the new information on the necklace to next to the verse on the copy of the riddle they made. “Heart of the Ocean a.k.a the magic necklace making the vampire appear human. To be honest, if someone were wearing a necklace that extravagant in Beacon Hills it’d be noticeable.”

Scott agreed, “She’s probably keeping it under her clothes. I mean I would. Lydia, did you find anything on who it belonged to?”

The redhead makes a huff, “from what the article says,” she clicks on a link, “it belonged to American socialite Y/n L/n as a gift from her husband Theodore Ford on their wedding day. He had it custom made overseas on a trip to France.” Lydia’s eyes widened at the next line, “She was the niece of John Rockefeller and he was the nephew of Henry Ford.”

“Good God,” Stiles made a sound, many of the others showing a similar reaction. “What a match made in heaven…and money.”

“Great,” Peter plops onto the couch, “our vampire was a once billionaire socialite—well maybe not billionaire. That’s a far reach. Since she was only the niece of Rockefeller and her hubby was a Ford she probably only had a snippet of their families fortune.” The man rolls his neck, hands clasped on his lap with his legs kicked up. “She shouldn’t be too hard to find then. All we need is a picture.”

Derek gives his uncle an annoyed look, “We don’t if it’s her or not. Maybe the necklace was stolen by her creator and that’s how she got it.”

“What else does it say?” Allison turns her attention back to her best friend. In her head she couldn’t help but feel there was something missing. That they were so close to the answer.

Lydia continues on, “It says here that they married in 1901–Y/n aged nineteen and Theodore aged twenty-one. They had a son, Benjamin, born 1905 and Theodore died six years later in 1911 from a car accident.” She scrolls down a bit, brows furrowing a tad and makes a sound of ‘eureka!’ “Y/n was gifted two First-Class tickets for her and her son aboard Titanic by her uncle John Rockefeller. They boarded the ship during Titanic’s first stop to Cherbough, France….survivors of Titanic recall last seeing Y/n place her son Benjamin into a lifeboat before being denied entry since it had reached maximum capacity,” a feeling of heartbreak fills the redhead, soon followed by defeat as she reads “It is believed Y/n L/n drowned as the ship submerged beneath the surface on April 15, 1912, as her body was never recovered as one to have perished from hypothermia in the freezing waters. Nor was she listed on the records of survivors on RMS Carpathia. Her son Benjamin was soon taken in by her mother where he remained in New York City until his sudden death in 1918 by influenza.”

A moment of silence passes as they take in the information. For Allison and Lydia, they couldn’t help the sadness for the woman they didn’t even know. To have to say goodbye to your child, likely promising them you’d get on the next boat and would be reunited shortly, only to never see them again.

The redhead suddenly straightens her posture.

“What is it?” Scott hears her heartbeat quicken. Worry takes his features when Lydia appears as if she saw a ghost. Everyone else looks the same when she brings a hand to her mouth. “Lydia?” There’s a slight tremor in her hand when she pulls it away.

“She’s closer than it seems.” She whispers the line from the final verse. Tone filled with near distraught.

Allison takes a hesitant step forward. From where they were all standing they could also see the light of the screen hitting Lydia’s complexion. Whatever was on it was hidden from their view. “Lydia…”

“I-I thought it meant that by finding the Heart of the Ocean we’d be able to spot whoever was wearing it. That we’d have to maybe knock on every door in Beacon Hills until we find whoever is hiding it—as stupid as that sounds. Because who in their right mind if they knew they were being hunted would just hide in plain sight? But….” her breath picks up, slight horror and astonishment as she stares back at the screen. “He knows where she is—h-he wants us to find her, because she can lead us to him.”

“Lydia….” Stiles slowly draws closer to her. Peter moves to stand from the couch, expression unreadable as was Derek’s.

But Lydia’s eyes never move from the screen. “The riddle—it was just his game. He knows exactly where she is. He has to. Because she’s been under our nose all along—closer than we could’ve imagined.” Finally the redhead looks up to the anxious eyes of everyone, revealing the shocking truth with the slow turn of the laptop.

“She boarded Titanic as Y/n L/n,” the screen shows a sepia image causing Allison to gasp, Isaac to mutter ‘holy shit’, Stiles to drop his marker, and Scott to feel his stomach drop. Derek and Peter shared a look, Derek more anxious than his uncle. “But she’s been living as Loretta Andrews.”

There on the screen, listed as the socialite Y/n L/n and wearing the jaw-dropping necklace called the Heart of the Ocean, was a woman whose face the teenagers had seen every Monday to Friday for the last three months. Who looked no older than the age of 30 like in the picture and had arrived in Beacon Hills shortly before the spring semester.

Their English teacher, Loretta Andrews.

hello, here to pester you with a question >:3!

where do you get the money to make your cosplays?? i'm in the middle of crafting a bunch of stuff for a plant convention and gyatt damn everythings so pricey

:((

along with the storage ive been getting this one a bunch too haha

to tell true, this is no fault on your part so no frets here at all !!! BUT i'm not comfortable discussing my personal finances online. because on a wide scale, anything in regards to money gets incredibly niche to a person's circumstances and will make people get upset/can leave you vulnerable to a lot of bad things. My pay scale and spending habits are not something i'm hip to sharing online since its really private and opens a lot of dangerous doors. (also my spending habits are not exactly healthy or generalizable either.) I'm not saying this to like...dodge being a secret billionaire or anything, but even if i say "i work a STEM job" I've had people get weird about even just that information.

That being said, there are ways i make cosplay more affordable.

usually in-store fabric shopping at say joanns, is just about as expensive as it gets. if you have to shop only at joanns, michaels, etc the bill racks up fast. There are some in-store fabric shops that are cheaper, especially if they are wholesalers or general fabric warehouses, but those are not easy to find outside of cities most often. Joanns does have good coupons, and i can only shop at joanns these days if i have a coupon or there's a sale on that fabric type i'm interested in!

online wholesale fabric shops are a good way to find fabrics that are at lower prices, but then it does incur extra shipping costs. because of that i try to limit the number of orders I make (more orders, more extra shipping). this looks like grouping orders between projects, or even compromising on fabric types based on the stock of one website so i dont have to split an order between two sites.

sometimes you really do have to sacrifice material type. theres been a number of projects this year that i wanted to make out of a nicer type of fabric, even Thistle for example i considered making out of a dupioni, but it was just too dang expensive. dupioni would be around $25 a yard...vs poly suede which is $6. or even a cheaper satin at $3 a yard is a common sub i use as well. I also very frequently have to throw out entire cosplay ideas just based on cost since its just not feasible no matter how many compromises i make.

reduce the burden by extending your timeline. unfortunately theres no way around it, most projects i make are $200-300, and thats....fairly low in the grand scheme of things for crafting-focused cosplayers on mid sized projects. but either way, dropping all of that at once in one place is a huge blow to the wallet. but if you break up that whole $200 cost into say...$20 chunks from one week to the next, its softer. if you cant or dont want to reduce your budget, expanding your timeline is a good solution. now granted, that does cause a problem with the whole "less orders means less shipping costs" but the weighing of those two scenarios has to be done person to person/project to project.

STOCKING UP....when there are sales or other things, building a horde can be a great move. like silverbell didnt actually show up much on my finances this month because all the fabric i used on his suit was storage fabric. so it was ""free"" to me this month, because i already bought it.....3 years ago...and that money isnt real anymore haha.

this is really regional and depends on where you are, but thrift stores can have material sections that have good fabrics as well as sheets/blankets/base garments etc. ive been weirdly lucky with finding great fabrics at thrift stores...like literal joanns fabric for half the cost there, but thats super SUPER hit or miss and not something i rely on, but i do check that section whenever i'm there

#i dont usually like to talk money bc not only can it get dicey safety wise but also theres no quick way to talk about it haha #BUT THIS IS WHAT I GOT....#i have to change my plans or cancel them outright due to money a lot

Do we know why ktm has so much chattering problems? I heard that Ducati had them too at the start of the season but how come that they got theirs sorted out while the ktm bike still vibrates so much. I saw a video that redbull posted and it’s clear as day that the chattering doesn’t only affect the bike but it also moves the rider

okay, so. my understanding is that the chatter problem has been caused by michelin's new tyres. it's specifically a chatter problem of the rear tyre: the very, very high amounts of grip generated by that tyre, which kinda caught the manufacturers off guard. having a lot of grip isn't typically a bad thing because, well... if you can exploit it properly, your bike goes super fast (cf all the lap records being smashed)... but sometimes it's too much of a good thing and suddenly you've got so much grip you weren't expecting and your bike is bouncing absolutely everywhere

obviously, different bikes have been affected to differing degrees. basically the bikes with more grip - that can essentially 'extract' more of the grip levels from the tyre - have also had more problems with this. so with ducati, given that the levels of grip had been a strength of their bike the last few years, they were initially really struggling with it. the problem with chatter is that because it can be caused by so many different parts of your bike and the interaction between those parts - the 'resonance' that's caused by all those little springs and joints and moving bits inside it - this really isn't an easy problem to fix. it often kicks in during really precise situations, maybe just a few corners of a circuit where you're taking a specific angle at a specific speed, maybe when you're on softer tyres with just enough grip to really screw you over. that vibration caused by these situations then gives you the tyre 'bouncing' around, which obviously means you lose a lot of speed - you end up losing grip. this also points to why some riders are able to 'ride around' the issue better than others: by having more flexibility in adjusting how they approach certain corners. ktm similarly to ducati had been blindsided by these new tyres... but unlike ducati they haven't seemingly yet been able to find a satisfactory fix

a little more detail. from here, which I would recommend reading in full, one of the more straightforward explanations I've read of what chatter actually is and what it's caused by:

and why the ducati was affected particularly badly - versus, say, the honda, with its lack of grip:

and on the role of the rider in making adjustments:

so you basically have to get creative to attempt to mitigate the issue - which you see now with the ktm, where there's a pretty broad range between the four riders to what extent they're able to cope. this has been reflected publicly in comments made by ktm, specifically about how much two of their riders haven't been able to get the most out of the package:

back around the time of jerez, you had acosta putting the onus on michelin to do something about the issue:

but jerez was also around the time ducati was saying they were getting to grips (ho ho) with the problem. god knows what they did, though here from the piece linked above are some general suggestions for what they will have been looking at:

for fairly obvious reasons, ducati's not gone into a great amount of detail about how exactly they fixed the problem - and so we also don't know why ktm hasn't been able to do more about it. maybe it's something fundamental to how their bike is built, maybe they just haven't come up with solutions as good as ducati's team, maybe a combination of the two. but yeah, that's the basic summary of it: the new tyres mixing up the field, with some able to adapt better than others to these changes. this also seems to be a common theory for why bezz specifically is struggling quite so much - because he's the type of rider who would actually prefer low grip gross and greasy conditions where everyone's sliding around as much as possible and he can exploit his natural casey stoner-certified feel. if everyone's got a lot of extra grip, suddenly that advantage is basically neutralised. with ktm, it also feels a bit like these tyres have turned a strength into a weakness, with all the grip they're generating working against the bike. hard to give a more definitive answer than that, but hope this helps! I'd also strongly recommend a fairly recent episode of the oxley bom podcast on this topic, 'a matter of balance', for more detail

#what i will say though #i need someone to sit me down and explain why miller keeps choosing soft tyres. i don't get it #it's like the cota thing when pecco made a weird tyre choice and everyone copied him #like if you know that chattering is an issue and chattering is worse on softer tyres because they're initially grippier then??#surely that's the wrong choice?? i don't get it #//#brr brr #batsplat responds #current tag

So I tried out Fallout: Frost

And I got to level 70.

I finally quit because the game was taking a literal hour to load save files. Fallout 4 takes forever to load saves anyhow, but you can get around it with the quick save/quick load, and it isn't nearly as bad, but some combination of my graphics card, Frost and Mod Organizer 2 (which is very clunky compared to Vortex) made it just drag.

I don't have a lot of screencaps, so forgive their random nature.

The game is punishing, and that's part of the point. Early in there's some excitement about how hard the survival mechanics are, but the mod philosophy is solid anti-fun, and after awhile, that just grows old.

Set six years after the war, the game jettisons as much of the wilder stuff as it can manage. Super Mutants and wilder mutated monsters aren't lore-friendly at that stage, so its mostly animals, people, and ghouls, who are constantly bolstered by the radioactive air and thus follow zombie-headshot rules.

Where the anti-fun aspect falls into place is the mod is obsessed with keeping you from getting any of the coolest gear because "it has to be there" for the main game story, despite it being super easy to do stuff that would throw the main game off kilter.

So most major locations are blocked off internally.

I see it for things like the power armor suit near Sanctuary, which is frozen solid in a clever solution to the problem, but I can't dig into ArcJet to get the Rock-It launcher? Seriously?

It gets extra obnoxious with the Nuka-World section, because huge chunks are blocked off, and both exclusive power armors are non-available. The entire marketplace in Nuka-Town is gone, just inoperable doors.

And the mod relies far too much on journal entries to tell what story it is. The journal entries come in basically two flavors: 1) tales of sorrow and death that are so common that you quickly get bored of them and 2) ramblings by now mad cultists, of which there are many. The main barrier to forward advancement is familiar places being blocked off with locked doors, the keys of which are at random locations you just have to stumble across.

You can't just go to Parsons' Asylum and find a way in. No, none of the many Maldenman guards outside have the key to the door. Nor is it at the end of the Malden subway line where I stomped the mutant thing they worshiped into the ground. It's apparently at the end of the "military storyline", a thing that (to be fair) I did not bother with because dealing with the conversational options with the few NPCs who will talk is a confounding mess of non-sequitor responses, because half the characters use randomly clipped together dialog from the main game and none of it is translated well.

It's not without its charms. For the first forty levels or so you're likely to enjoy it if you're really into hardcore survival experiences, and while most of the coolest gear was rendered nonexistent, a few things, like the syringer, were majorly improved. The boat fast-travel mechanic was neat but crafting fuel was stupidly inefficient.

I strongly recommend new players get the syringer-centered perk that replaced VANS the moment you can. Syringes are the only ammo with no weight, and for most of the game you'll want to keep a pack of venom and bleed-out syringes. One shot from either will take down a human or smaller sized living enemy (ghouls included) and the venom syringes are guaranteed kills on Deathclaws and Bears if you can keep out of reach long enough for them to succumb.

Don't really have much else to say. Just a little ramble.

A chapter is about to end

2021, I left a job to get back to the US for a Master Degree in Counseling psychology. I was excited because I feel like the US is still my home and our journey together hadn't ended yet, although feel bittersweet to leave the job I was really enjoying.

This time is Pittsburgh, has to be a city. I deferred my admission at the school I didn't know much about besides what my professor in undergrad was marketing to me. She thought it's a great fit for me, so I applied and give it the benefit of a doubt. And honestly, it's been a fun ride with ups and downs.

Grad school hits different. Very hard to make friends and find a community in an environment where everyone has a lot on their plate. But everyone I met are so empathetic. We share about our experiences and lessons vulnerably which I think it's a beautiful thing. It's where we vibe so well, without filters sometimes. I have had opportunities to chat with lot of them and see their point of view. Everyone has their unique stories, but do have some common similarities. I learn that although having a lot going on, people still can connect deeply when they spend time together to talk about how they see life. Empathy soars when I see different views with its pros and cons. Sometimes, all we need is being listened, no solution needed. I might not agree with how you see live because it's the opposite with what I believe, but I do respect your point of view because we're unique. We still can be friends even when we disagree with one another, but we agree to disagree and accept it's a part of us. It makes humans human. Agree??

I found a community at my internship site. I love all people I met there. They're super supportive. Their personality always amaze me. The empathy and sympathy they have are immense. We might unhappy with what others have done but always approach others with altruism. They challenge my perspectives and encourage me to see thing in different lenses. The kids at the site I met showed me how much emotional tolerance I have for others. They emotionally push me to the limit where sometimes I felt like I can burst off, but somehow I managed to calm myself down and treat them with kindness everytime. They're the future and good education is the only way to have a better future. I look at them in a holistic way to decipher how do they behave the way they do, which increases my sense of empathy. I'm extremely happy that I stay here long enough to see the impact I and my fellow interns have on them. Seeing the good impacts we make is pleasant. I'm gonna miss my fellow interns a lot. We made it so far, some left but some still stay till this moment I'm writing this. I appreciate them, I salute the work they're doing. I wish them the best!

I ended a 3-year relationship on a good term. I was passive on how it ended but I actively learned a lot about it. I learned how to not being harsh on myself. I appreciate my ex was being honest with her feeling and made a decision to break up for her own sake. It's definitely not beneficial for me but the honesty remains a highlight. I embrace it. It's totally fine to let thing go and l let myself to leave someone who didn't match the standard I pursue. It is and will always beneath my standard if I have a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be my teammate and has no capacity and emotional maturity to work and contribute to a relationship. It sucks that it's ended but I constantly remind myself everything happened for a reason. So, allowing myself go through the grieving is a huge learning lesson and I kinda enjoyed tbh. I embrace the process and feel like a new person out of it. No resentment and regret. No love is ever wasted, even when it leads to a heartbreak.

The last 2 years of grad school were an awesome journey ngl ☺️☺️. I have learnt so much more about the world and myself. I met new people whom I vibe with, yet still spent some time to revisit old friends who making effort to know what's going on in my life. Y'all are appreciated. Sometimes, I contemplate the life I have: bouncing between cities, starting a routine in a new city, finding a community at where I'm at, missing other things, goodbye people, etc...; and question myself is it all worth it? Every time, the answer is YES, including this time. Those cities, those people, and the experiences I had are making me who I am today. I have nothing but gratitude and empathy to give back. It's going to be a new fun chapter, thanks for tagging along if you get here hehe.

The End!

Addressing Response to Customer Difficulties: Starting Point

What are the common problems encountered by CMU students nowadays?

In this journal, you will learn about our journey of finding problems and how we were able to come up with this particular product in order to achieve a more efficient and productive academic life for college students.

The first thing we did during the first week was to create a plan on how we will conduct our interview and how many prospective people we need including the college they should be from. The team agreed on making interviews by pair; one person will do the asking while the other will do the documentation.

After some interviews, we gathered all the information and shared it together with other members.

After giving it some thought, we took notes of the problems raised and created possible solutions to each of them. The next day, we interviewed another group of people for further investigation. The following is the summarization of the data gathered from respondents.

Data Gathered:

• 2Males (From Agriculture) - Problem: Garbage’s on Agriculture Benches

• 1 male (From CAS) - Problem: Lack of trash bins & sometimes no water on Comfort Rooms

• 1 Female (From CFES) - Problem: CMU market is too far printings

• 1 Female (From CBM) - Problem: CMU market is too far school supplies

• 2 Females (Graduate Students) -Problem: Financial problem

• 1 Female (Veterinary Medicine) - Problem: CMU market is too far printing

• 1 Female (Education) -Problem: Slow internet

• 5 Females (CAS, Psychology) -Problem: Lack of benches

A total of 14 customers are interviewed. And then we all gathered together to brainstorm and discuss our possible plans.

In consideration of the data’s we have gathered while conducting interviews, we noticed that there was diverse array of problems from our customers' answers. The group decided to formulate possible solutions to the problems while also considering the opportunity to profit. The most significant one was financial problems, our chosen solution for this was to construct or create a platform for a marketplace where we will play the role of a broker. It aims to give opportunities for students to:

1. Dispose of their old possessions through selling second-hand items (books, print-outs, yoga mats, swimsuits, etc.) 2. Allows them to buy items at a lesser price. 3. Easy access for available boarding houses in the area.

However, it requires a lot of estimations and assumptions and we found out that CMU already has an online marketplace.

Another best alternative we are able to formulate was the solution to the distance of the CMU market in regards to printing services. We came up with the decision to choose the printing problems to be addressed. After considering other variables, the team has made an idea of providing a self-service, coin-generated, Vendo printing machine rather than using a regular printer which needs someone to operate and provide assistance for all the time. It is super convenient and can be less hassle since we only need to provide maintenance for it once in a while. For that cause, we did research if this product is available in the market or is yet to be created.

To find out that it is currently unavailable in the local market, we are advised to manufacture the product ourselves, because formulating it on our own and managing its service function would dampen the fixed cost, causing us to hardly match the value of the product in the value the customers can afford to give which can dampen the possibility of profitability. With that in plan, we established steps to properly manufacture the product and as to where we will market it.

The group formulated the following measures:

• Collaborate with people with expertise in the making of the product (IT technicians/ Engineers) • Interview experts as to the costs of manufacture, the processes and licenses needed to manufacture the product. • Have the estimation as to the possibility of profitability or determine the economic value of the product in a certain point of time. • Make a model or prototype of the product, as to the process of using it • Devise a clear plan on whom to sell the product.

To sum up, working with other institutions to create a clear plan for marketing your product might be a smart step to access new markets, make use of pooled resources, and ultimately succeed more in the education industry. Our teamwork leads to productivity, innovation, decision-making, communication and personla growth, while also fostering strong relationships among team members.

Work with Unity, and Diverse Perspective

Adaptability

Having this kind of behavior and attitude makes the team create a unique and successful product and/or service, it also helps the students life easier in terms of printing their outputs. Moreover, the team should not waste time on thinking of innovative ideas that can be useful not only for students but also a product and/or services that we can still benefit in the future.

random thoughts after watching gwitch

im not a gundam fan so this is just a mild observation as a random watcher. im sure everyone and their mom has dissected the series from front to back, so everything i yap about here has probably been discussed already but anyway! there were a lot of themes that i found interesting...

the concept of "romantic" love. of course, it's a common theme where male characters only see romantic love as something to "conquer" and don't see the female love interests as true people with true feelings. there were many elements of that here too, but overall i felt that the male characters saw suretta and miorine as metaphors for their true desires, like. guel's romantic love for suretta was formed due to his desire to be accepted. eran's feelings for suretta was due to his desire to not be alone. and ultimately they did find what they were looking for, but not in suretta. by the end guel had to fight his little brother who had accepted the old him all along and was furious that his big brother had changed (even if it was for the better). eran's reincarnation found some form of companionship in norea and when it was cruelly taken away, he joined forces with suretta to make sure it doesn't happen anymore. these men didn't have to torment women to fulfill their desires. when suretta and miorine stood up for themselves, the men were forced to open their eyes and find what they were looking for elsewhere.

also the idea of a romantic love that caused the death of familial love (even if by accident) is so interesting to me! i was so intrigued. usually in situations like these, the character would choose romantic love over familial love. but what happens when, driven by romantic love, you end up destroying a bond you did not choose to destroy? it would be well and good if guel chose to kill his abusive father for suretta's sake. but that autonomy and choice wasnt given to him. i thought that was a very interesting plot point!

and in counterpoint suretta and miorine were actively making choices in defiance of their own true desires because of their "love" for each other, even if they didn't view it as "romantic". suretta chose to protect miorine even if it meant it might hamper her list, miorine chose not to escape to earth even when presented with an opportunity because of suretta.

speaking of which the full moment thing in the first season made me cheer so hard like when shadiq gave the instruction to carry out the assassination attempt i was like YES! a father must die to complete the circle started by the death of eri's father in episode 1! i love stuff like that it was so much fun.

the political elements... idk if they wanted me to root for the earthians but seeing the earthians manage to break into the strong defences of the super rich with outdated gear made me think well.. you want me to root for the "terrorists" right? and when it was revealed that the spaceians were making money off warmongering on earth i was like HMMM... you want me to root for shadiq right???!!!! lmao obviously they wanted to show how the cycle of violence will never end until someone comes up with a proper solution but idgaf i'm team earth! lol

and my favourite: suretta's desire to confront (and be with) her mother and sister. "even if no one understands your goal, i'll support it!" "i'm selfish and i want to be with you!" this theme is one that i love greatly and many of my favourite pieces of media always have this theme - the theme of forgiveness and love being an active choice somebody makes for themselves, rather than it being the "right thing to do" or "being the better / good person". they're under no obligation to forgive or love, but they chose it anyway, for their own sake and not for anyone else's. there is no moral superiority in choosing to love. its simply a choice that suretta made.

and i'm sure portraying the "terrorists" as darker skinned was a choice. i won't say it's good or bad. but it was a choice!

another thing was about how the characters started up with simple goals but in the end had to actively undo the sins of their family. it may seem unfair but characters like miorine and guel had benefited from the oppression of earthians, and so their simple dreams of wanting to stand on their own without their families telling them what to do could not exist until they stood up against the direct oppression caused by their families. its true, everything doesnt exist in a vacuum and even the simple desire of being independent unfortunately, in a political context, is running away from the sins of their family. and instead of being independent, they inherited their family's sins and actively tried to undo it.

some usual thoughts on the seiyu: i loved the cast. i wasnt very familiar with suretta, miorine and guel's vas but they impressed me a lot! it was nice to hear mamiko noto and makochan play roles that arent the type of roles i usually hear them in. also the episode where eran and norea were screaming at each other made me laugh cause those two vas are really good at screaming and crying so it was really nice to listen to lol

there's a lot more i thought about but i cant remember so that's all i'll write here lol. overall it was a very interesting series and made me think a lot in terms of thematic significance as opposed to the plot and characters. not sure if thats what they wanted to achieve but it was how i consumed it anyway!

How to Check if You Have Bad Breath?

Ever wonder how to check if you have bad breath? It's a common concern, and the good news is there are easy ways to find out for yourself! Let's figure out if it's something to worry about. Quick Tests for Bad Breath Here are some discreet ways to see if your breath might be bothering others: - The Wrist Test: This is a classic! Lick the inside of your wrist, let it dry for a second or two, then give it a sniff. It'll give you a sense of how your breath smells. - The Floss Test: Flossing is great for your teeth, but it can also reveal smelly stuff. Floss between your back teeth and then smell the floss. Food particles stuck there can be the source of bad smells. - The Tongue Scraper Test: The back of your tongue is where a lot of odor-causing bacteria hang out. Gently scrape the back of your tongue with a scraper or even a toothbrush, then smell the tool. Yuck? Time to address the cause! Why does breath go bad? There are a few main reasons your breath might not be its best: - Not-So-Great Oral Hygiene: If you're not brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and maybe using a tongue scraper, bacteria can party in your mouth, causing smells. - Dry Mouth: Saliva helps keep your mouth clean and fresh! Certain medications, mouth-breathing, or not drinking enough water can lead to dryness, which can lead to smelly breath. - What You Eat and Drink: Garlic, onions, coffee... you know the foods that linger! These can definitely affect your breath for a while afterward. - Smoking: Tobacco comes with a host of problems, including stubborn bad breath. - Sometimes It's Medical: In rare cases, bad breath is caused by things like sinus infections, tonsil stones, or digestive issues. What to Do About Bad Breath Don't worry, a few tweaks can make a world of difference: - Step Up Your Cleaning Game: Brush your teeth for two full minutes twice a day, floss at least once a day, and consider using a tongue scraper to reduce bacteria. - Stay Hydrated: Drinking water throughout the day is not only good for your overall health, it helps combat dry mouth and stinky breath. - Food Choices Matter: Be mindful of foods with lingering odors, and maybe brush a little extra afterward. - Ditch the Cigarettes: If you smoke, quitting offers tons of benefits – fresher breath is one of them! - See Your Dentist: Regular checkups help catch any problems early. Plus, they have great breath-boosting tips! Common Causes & Quick Fixes Let's break down some of the usual suspects behind bad breath with some easy solutions: CauseQuick FixDry MouthSip water more often, chew sugar-free gumLingering Food SmellsBrush/floss after meals, rinse with mouthwashMorning BreathBrush teeth and tongue right when you wake upAcid RefluxTalk to your doctor about possible treatment Fact: Did you know bad breath (halitosis) affects up to 80 million people? It's super common, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing! Beyond the Basics: Masks, Mints, and More Okay, so you've done the basic breath checks and maybe made some changes, but what else can you do? - Mouthwash Myths: Mouthwash can freshen things up temporarily, but it doesn't treat the root cause of bad breath. Use it in addition to good oral hygiene, not instead of! - The Mask Question: Masks can slightly worsen bad breath since they trap moisture and odors. If you wear one, be extra careful with your brushing routine! - Sugar-Free Gum: Chewing gum with xylitol can stimulate saliva flow, which helps with dryness and can temporarily improve breath. - Natural Remedies: You might see things like parsley or apple cider vinegar suggested for bad breath, but the science behind them isn't super strong. Focus on the proven basics first! When to Talk to Your Dentist If good oral hygiene doesn't seem to help, or your breath is really concerning you, definitely visit your dentist. They can rule out any these problems that might be causing your bad breath: - Cavities or Gum Disease - Tonsil Stones - Conditions like sinus infections or acid reflux "There's no shame in getting professional help! Your dentist has seen it all, and their main goal is to help you have a healthy, happy smile." FAQs – Your Bad Breath Questions Answered - How can I tell if my breath smells? The tests we discussed (wrist, floss, tongue scraper) are a good start. You could also ask someone you trust for an honest opinion. - How do you diagnose bad breath? Your dentist is the best bet! They have tools to assess your breath and look for any health conditions causing it. - What does normal bad breath smell like? Think of that "morning breath" smell. A slightly sour odor is common, but a constantly strong, unpleasant smell needs addressing. - Can you smell breath when kissing? Sadly, yes. If you're worried about this, do a quick breath check beforehand! Key Takeaways - Bad breath is common and usually fixable with better oral hygiene habits. - Keeping your mouth hydrated helps prevent funky odors. - If the issue persists even with good habits, see your dentist to check for any hidden causes. - Don't let fear stop you from getting the answers and treatment you need for a fresh and healthy smile! Conclusion Hopefully, you now feel confident figuring out if your breath needs some attention! Most cases are easy to fix, but don't feel embarrassed to get professional help if needed. Fresh breath can improve your confidence and make everyday interactions a lot more pleasant!

Addressing Response to Customer Difficulties: Starting Point

What are the common problems encountered by Central Mindanao University (CMU) students nowadays?

After some interviews, we gathered all the information and shared it together with other members.

Data Gathered:

• 2 Males(from College of Agriculture)

Problem : garbages in agriculture benches

• 1 Male (from College of Arts and Sciences)

Problem: lack of trash bins & CR

• 1 Female(from College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences)

Problem: distance of the market in terms of printing

• 1 Female(from College of Business and Management)

Problem: distance of the market

• 2 Females(Graduate Students)

Problem: personal needs

• 1 Female (College of Veterinary Medicine)

Problem: distance of the market in terms of printing

• 1 Female (College of Education)

Problem: slow internet connection

• 5 Females (College of Arts and Sciences

Problem: lack of benches to study and take a break

A total of 14 respondents were interviewed.

And then we all gathered together to brainstorm and discuss our possible plans.

•Dispose of their old possessions through selling second-hand items(books, print-outs, yoga mats, swimsuits, etc.)

•Allows them to buy items at a lower price

•Easy access for available boarding houses in the area

However, it took a lot of estimations and assumptions and we found out that Central Mindanao University already has an online marketplace.

Another best alternative we were able to formulate was the solution to the distance of the University Market in regards to printing services. We came up with the decision to choose the printing problems to be addressed. After considering other variables, the team has made an idea of providing a self-service, coin-generated, vendo printing machine rather than using a regular printer which needs someone to operate and provide assistance for all the time. It is super convenient and can be less hassle since we only need to provide maintenance for it for once in a while. For that cause, we did research if this product is available in the market or is yet to be created.

The group formulated the following measures:

•Collaborate with people with expertise in the making of the product (IT technicians/ Engineers)

•Interview experts as to the costs of manufacture, the processes and licenses needed to manufacture the product.

•Have the estimation as to the possibility of profitability or determine the economic value of the product in a certain point of time.

•Make a model or prototype of the product, as to the process of using it.

•Devise a clear plan on whom to sell the product.

To conclude;

Finding the right product to release in a saturated market is a challenge. There could be failed attempts because of lack of research but what's important is instead of giving up, we bounce back with something better. That's clearly what happened with our group. Our initial plan was to create an online market place for the student sellers' convenience with our assistance. We were so ready to start devising our plan when we eventually found out that it was already existing. Personally, as cliche as it may sound but that discovery dejected me. Like we were happy we finally came up with a solution only for it to be unavailable as an option. No time was wasted and we brainstormed again and came up with our second and final choice, the creation of a vendo printing machine. Consulting experts and asking for their advice are part of the plan to make this project more plausible. As a group, we worked together effectively. We were able to connect to each other and created a chemistry instead of wanting to be better than the other. We are able to come this far thanks to their cooperation and hard work. I hope that as we continue with this venture, may we still have the trust and dedication we developed along the way until the end.

Addressing Response to Customers Difficulties: Starting Point

What are the common problems encountered by CMU students nowadays?

After some interviews, we gathered all the information and shared it together with other members.

Data Gathered:

• 2 Males (from Agriculture) — garbage on Agri Benches.

• 1 male (from CAS ) — lack of trash bins and comfort room with no water.

• 1 Female (from CFES) — the Cmu market is too far in printing their documents.

• 1 Female (from CBM) — the Cmu market is too far to buy their needed school supplies.

• 2 Females (Graduate Students) — financial problems.

• 1 Female ( from CVM) — the Cmu market is too far to print their documents.

• 1 Female ( from COed ) — slow internet connection.

• 5 Females ( from CAS ) — lack of benches

A total of 14 customers are interviewed.

And then we all gathered together to brainstorm and discuss our possible plans.

— Dispose of their old possessions through selling second-hand items(books, print-outs, yoga mats, swimsuits, etc.)

— Allows them to buy items at a lesser price.

— Easy access for available boarding houses in the area.

However, it requires a lot of estimations and assumptions and we found out that CMU already has an online marketplace.

Another best alternative we are able to formulate was the solution to the distance of the CMU market in regards to printing services. We came up with the decision to choose the printing problems to be addressed. After considering other variables, the team has made an idea of providing a self-service, coin-generated, vendo printing machine rather than using a regular printer which needs someone to operate and provide assistance for all the time. It is super convenient and can be less hassle since we only need to provide maintenance for it once in a while. For that cause, we did research if this product is available in the market or is yet to be created.

The group formulated the following measures:

• Collaborate with people with expertise in the making of the product (IT technicians/ Engineers)

• Interview experts as to the costs of manufacture, the processes and licenses needed to manufacture the product.

• Have the estimation as to the possibility of profitability or determine the economic value of the product in a certain point of time.

• Make a model or prototype of the product, as to the process of using it.

• Devise a clear plan on whom to sell the product.

In conclusion, doing interviews is essential because in that way, we, the interviewers can find problems usually experienced by the students. And by this, we can provide realistic solutions for their dilemma. It is also vital for us, the interviewers to have interviewees for us to have plans on how and where to start, what problems should we address here in the students of Central Mindanao University. However, I also gained insights that working as a team is helpful in crafting solutions for the existing problem the group has chosen, because there is no man on an island. Thinking of ways on how to solve the dilemma of the students needs a lot of working mind to create better solutions, ideas and ways to put an end to the problem. And lastly, we learned that choosing one specific problem the respondent gave that interests us is important, because in that way, it is easy for us to formulate ideas and thoughts. Making ourselves ready to prepare and execute the plans our group has created.
