Bamboozle 2023 Is Dead

Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead. After two years of teasing, Bamboozle 2023 is no more.

Only a week before Bamboozle 2023 was to take place, the New Jersey festival is no longer happening. According to a report from NJ.com, a spokesperson for Atlantic City, where Bamboozle would’ve taken place this year, said the festival failed to meet the deadline to file any final documents, thus their permits were denied. This includes insurance certificates and emergency evacuation and medical…

WORST CLASS(ES) :

History of Magic : Again, she doesn't hate History of Magic in fact she was excited for History of Magic in her fourth year it's just that she finds Binns to be extremely boring.

BEST CLASS(ES) :

Charms : Mostly loves it because it's her best class but she loves it because of Professor Flitwick and how respectful and kind he is.

Muggle Studies : She has a weird fascination with Muggles and their lifestyle so an entire class dedicated to studying them is an amazing class for her.

Cuthbert Binns : She doesn't hate him she just finds him to be boring and a bad teacher.

CLOSEST HPHM FRIENDS :

Despite her initial doubts about Penny as she got to know her the two became close friends with Hana considering Penny one of her closest friends.

CLOSEST MC FRIENDS

David Denneth(@callmederok ) : She just thinks David is cool, she will randomly just follow him around to see what he does in his free time and she also thinks of him as an older bother despite the fact that they're basically the same age. She thinks he's rough around the edges but is sweet. She also thinks his and Penny's relationship is really cute.

Lutino Cockatiel

The cockatiel’s clinical call is Nymphicus hollandicus, and those birds are local to Australia. According to parrots.Org, they choose semi-arid areas and have a tendency to now not be observed in wetter coastal regions. Wild birds in the north of Australia are nomadic, with their southern cousins being seasonal migrants. Their local weight-reduction plan consists often of Acacia and wheat seeds.

Cockatiels are medium-sized associate parrots. All Lutino Cockatiels are descended from a unmarried male hen bred in Florida by means of a Mr. Barringer within the past due 1950s, consistent with animal-international.Com. The hen’s reputation spread after the breeding inventory become bought through a former curator of the Florida Parrot Jungle, Mrs. E. L. Moon. She gave them one in every of their common names, the Moonbeam Cockatiel. They also are called the Lutino Tiel.

These birds degree approximately 12 to 13 inches (30-33 cm) in period and weigh between 3 and four.4 oz. (85-a hundred twenty five grams). They have yellow/white our bodies with orange cheek patches and a yellow head and crest. Babies have pink eyes which darken as they age. The Lutino mutation of cockatiels can not be visually sexed, so you want to inn to DNA checking out to make certain of your bird’s gender. Vocalizations And Appearance Of Lutino Cockatiels

One of the most distinguishing capabilities of Lutino Cockatiels is their yellow crest. Unlike many different crested parrots, cockatiels have lengthy tails that comprise approximately half of in their frame duration. Some Lutino Cockatiels Lifespan have a bald patch on their head behind the crest. Selective breeding is minimizing this trait and anyways, it isn't a signal of problems along with your chook.

The crest is a window into your cockatiels emotional temper. A raised crest suggests hobby and excitement. When held tight to the head it's miles a signal of strain, and at the same time as just relaxing the group could be among those  extremes.

The Girl from Bauko

a short story by an Ilocano writer.

BAUKO IS a remote mountain town up in the wilds of the Cordilleras. It is some five thousand feet above sea level, and thick fog covers the towering mountain slopes every day, even in mid-summer, and the golden sun hardly be seen at high noon.

Of all stories - love stories - worth remembering my Father told me, not one can surpass the poignant story of a ravishing and winsome mountain lass by the name of Maila.

Maila was a Kankanay, one of the principal tribes of mountain Province. Indeed, Maila was a bundle of unsurpassed pulchitrude and vivacity, possessing a pair of bewitching dimples in her rosy checks, deep as the ravines surrounding her father's luxuriant mountain clearing up in Bauko.

The epic story of World War II would be incomplete and colorless without this beauteous mountain lass Maila, Father would tell me with a sparkle in his eyes, because Maila was everything to him during those dismal , difficult years of enemy occupation.

Father was a guerillero during the war. He was not a professional soldier, he repeatedly told me, since before the outbreak of the Pacific War he was still young, vibrant and innicent, and was bent on his studies at the U.P. in Padua Faura.

Those days were the golden days of the Commonwealth under the tutelage of the charismatic political leader, Manuel L. Quezon. Padre Faura then was quiet and shady with giant acacia trees, branching towards the sky on both shoulders of the street, affording cool shades for the boisterous groups of colegialas heading towards the big and spacious corridors of the State University and the Ateneo.

Father joined the army probably because of compulsion of maybe he was afraid of those slit-eyed Japanese soldiers. In the mid-thirties, the cream of the Filipino manhood was called to undergo compulsory five-and-a-half-mo the training in a care all over the islands; Father was among them, although he opted to take summer infantry training in Camp Murphy, the premier army camp I those days.

Prewar trainees and cadets of the ROTC units of Manila's colleges, were on the list of the Japanese Empire and sure death was the penalty for being one of them.

Why and how bphe came to Bauko, he did not tell me, but guerilla rose in those difficult years lived anywhere in the wilds of Northern Luzon.

Perhaps the dense mountain growths of the Cordillera ranges provided safe sanctuary for them. They were wanted by the Japanese forces for sure and once the were caught, they were herded like animals to a monkey house with grills and baked under the burning sun to be skinned alive or tortured to death by all kinds of painful methods as by bayonet thrusts, merciless clubbings and by water cure. Japanese soldiers were no better than barbarians in Marco Polo time.

"I had a co-guerillo by the name of Lacuasan," Father would recall. "This man Lacuasan was as my age and was a native of sturdy Kankanay stock. Most of the time he wore a g-string and was armed with a hatchet and a spear. He had a perfect physique, with bulging muscles throughout his whole anatomy -- easily he could have competed with Charles Atlas or Henry Liederman.

Lacuasan was a runner, a courrier, of the famed 66th Infantry, the guerrilla outfit composed of mountain tribes -- fierce-looking Kalingas and half-civilized Bontocs and Ifugaos, much-feared headhunters of the mountain provinces. Lacuasan was fast moving in spite of his size Climbing treacherous and slippery trails like a deer, he knew every bend and waterhole in the vast plateaus of Bauko.

The 66th Infantry was commanded by a greying American officer, Major Parker Calvert, a West Pointer, who refused to follow the surrender orders of General Wainwright following the fall of Corregidor.

It was Lakuasan who invited Father to his mountain clearing atop a lonely knoll in Bauko. The hut he owned was a small one, surrounded by a wide swath of camote patch; around the hut were chayote vines laden with fruits. Below the clearing was a picturesque valley where a meandering river curled it's way with water sparkling with foam and the pine trees roared when the north wind passed by.

"I believe you feel sad and lonely," Lacuasan told Father. Although Father carried a higher Rankin their outfit, Lacuasan simply called Father by his nickname, Andy. Father liked it that way.

There was evening when Father and Lacuasan spent their time keeping away the seeping cold and wetness of Bauko weather by sipping tapey, the homemade rice wine of the natives.

This liquor was made with fermented rice, sweet varietals of the upland strains, sprinkled with binubudan, powdered rice with crushed ginger and yeast. Some was fermented and brewed using sweet upland corn.

"Have you ever visited our ulog before, Andy?" Lacuasan asked, his eyes sparkling like two tiny stars. Father shook his head, his curly hair waving in the cool breeze like young bamboo swaying with the wind in an August storm. Father at the time looked like a Robinson Crusoe, marooned on a lonely island in the South Pacific. He had gone a year without a haircut and was looking shabby with a long beard that covered the contours of his mouth.

"Come," Lacuasan said, "let's pay a visit!" The ulog was a square matchbox construction of bamboo, wood, and cogon with no opening except for a door to one side and reached by a movable staircase used by the maidens of Bauko every night. Here these young unmarried girls would sleep. Young boys, barely in their teens, frequented the ulog in the evenings to express their love to the maidens whom attracted them the most. If the young girl favors a relationship, she'd invite the boy to come up where they'd sleep together using a common pillow made of hardwood as big as the girl's thigh.

Sexual contact was strictly forbidden and a boy had better think twice before making ungentleman like advances towards the girl he loves. Bauko's young men are well disciplined so that mashing and even kissing and petting are absolutely taboo.

Lacuasan had to brief Father before an encounter with the girl he planned to date overnight. At first, Father was uneasy because he was completely ignorant of the customs of the places. But, with much tapey in his blood, he regained his courage and bravado.

Young Filipinos, they say, are fast lovers and Father did not find it hard to start. That was how he came to meet Maila. To him, Maila appeared a different breed from the rest of the girls; she was clean and neat and properly dressed in the native costume. Her hair carried a special scent like the ilang-ilang flower nipped as a bud, and a carnation petal adorned her way brownish hair. Her skin was flawless, reddish-white, and she looked like a goddess standing atop a boulder caressed by the sweet mountain air.

Maila was a half-breed, American blended with Igorot blood. Before the Great Wr she was a senior in a high school ran by Belgian sisters in Baguio. She spoke English fluently with an accent, and it was not long before Father learned that this mountain beauty was indeed very bright and intelligent. Father also found out that she was a student writer, the editor of her school paper, The Baguio Breeze.

Father was deeply impressed during the first meeting with Maila. From the start, Father enjoyed her company because, besides being a good conversationalist, she was adept at literature and could recite pieces of classic poetry from Walt Whitman to Tagore. Father fell in love with Maila on that first evening, their very first encounter.

Maila laughed loudly when father proposed to her. "You're a lowlander," she said. "I hail from a land above the clouds. How can that be possible? Shal, I stoop so easily li,e a giant from the sky to love a man from a civilized world? I'm of Igorot stock, looked down on by you lowlanders."

"No, we can never meet, " she signed heavily. The dimples in her cheek sparkled like bonfire and were very attractive in my Father's sight. "You forget that we come from two different worlds, two different spheres."

A big lump in Father's throat rendered him speechless. He knew he loved Maila and nothing would keep him from loving her more He was the type who never ran from a fight. He came from a family of hardworking peasants, unafraid to face adversity or anything that taunted his pride, courage, and honor. Now was his chance to try his luck in love. Maila was the answer to his dreams and imagination.

"Love has no boundaries, Maila," Father replied, "No, not even gaps in culture, origin, heritage, creed, skin or social status are barriers to it." Maila stared at Father hard and long. She smiled shyly and Father understood that Maila loved him too. She then stood up and muttered, " Andy, here in Bauko, we possess a priceless tradition of honor. If a suitor defeats a girl in a selected competition then she is conquered. Tomorrow, as soon as the great sun rises in the east, challenge me to a race. We wil, run uphill." She pointed to a treeless hill not far from where they stood.

"I gladly accept your challenge, Father replied, his voice a little louder than usual.

The early morning was murky in Bauko. Thick fog enveloped Lacuasan's hut atop the knoll. All around, there was an endless sea of mist. In high spirits , Father trodden the dewy grass like a colt prancing in pasture. The sun shone metallic dull and it's faint beams peeped through a thin veil of mist in the eastern horizon. He stared at the sunflowers and carnations scattered in abundance over the slopes of the Bauko mountainsides.

Maila appeared suddenly at the base of the barren hill where the race was to be held. Lacuasan was to draw the starting line. Pulling his pistol from a leather holster tucked in his waist, he advised the competitors to be ready and with the bark of his gun they were to climb the hill as fast as they could.

When the gun barked, Maila darted towards the summit like a frightened deer, her legs appeared like rapid clogs spiking furiously upwards. Meanwhile, Father sped up like a jet hitting fist-sized boulders with lightening ferocity. Father knew he was exhibiting now his prowess in the century race back in his high school years when he romped away with a gold medal in the pre-war national athletic meet in Manila. The Bauko beauty gasped for breath but she was no match for the lowlander, this soldier of fortune who had drifted up to the Bauko highland to hide from Japanese hounds.

"I surrender to you, Andy," Maila calmly admitted, breathing hard. "I didn't know you were a sprinter for the first caliber." She knelt down to catch her breath.

"And so?"

"Of course, the jog is up and I am now yours," was the curt reply. That was how Father won the the heart of Maila. Gasping for breath, Father walked slowly towards her. Clutching her by the shoulders, he gazed into her eyes. They held hands as they ascended a promontory. At the summit stood a solitary pine tree casting it's shade over a clean boulder. Here they sat together.

The sun now shone clearly and resplendent. The flowers around them bid a joyous celebration. Lacuasan followed them and congratulated both victor and vanquished and to Father for winning the heart of the fastest girl in Bauko.

IN EARLY DECEMBER, a runner from Volckmann's headquarters up in Kapangan visited the two guerrilleros. He handed Father a field order instructing them to report to headquarters for further duty as the forces of General MacArthur were fast approaching the beaches at Lingayen. In January, the liberation forces tangled with the Japanese army everywhere in Luzon. The Allied Forces surrounded the enemy in the mountain provinces by placing the infantry divisions to route Yamashita's forces holed up in Kiangan. Father and Lacuasan returned to their respective outfits to join the bloody encounters with Japanese soldiers in Bessang, Lepanto, and Kayan, the last being but a stone's throw from Bauko. In late August, the Americans issues an ultimatum to Yamashita's forces to surrender. That after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki where thousands of Japanese were killed by atomic bombs. Yamashita had to surrender unconditionally.

The GIs boarded the jeep with Lacuasan at the wheel. Father waved at the Bauko beauties as the jeep moved away. Maila and the others waved back. He caught Maila's eyes supplicating. She had not stopped crying since their hands parted in a muted farewell. Looking back once more, he thought he saw Maila's lips, parted, imploring him to return. But the jeep made a sharp turn at the fork in the road and they were met by a strong wind from the vegetable fields lining the road, accentuating the fact that the poblacion was already behind them.

With the surrender of the wily Tiger of Malaysia and his forces, after the last prisoners of war were settled in camps in the lowlands, Father and Lakuasan hurriedly left for Bauko for a brief respite. Maila and her friends arranged a homecoming celebration for the two soldiers. That night the moon was big and round and the cool Bauko air hovered over the schoolhouse where the lively event was to be held.

On a clear Sunday morning, after the sun had dissipated the thick fog enveloping the Bauko skyline, Maila and her friends stood in front of the schoolhouse to bid Father and Lacuasan goodbye. The two GIs had a new assignment somewhere in La Union.

"Of course, I shall return," Father calmly told Maila, clutching her cold hands tightly. His lips quivered and Maila, shaking with grief, placed a lei of fresh everlasting flowers over Father's neck. She was sobbing so hard as Father consoled hee by lightly patting her back.

Natural Honey

Natural Honey is profoundly founded in Saudi Arabian culture, religion, and exchange, and The Holy Quran alludes to its therapeutic and mending properties a few times. Pure Honey in Saudia Arabia is a respected item widely used for dietary use and is extremely emblematic.

Sources of Pure Honey:

Saudi Arabia is home to an expected 2200 blossoming plants and monofloral nectar from nearby plants and trees. For example, Ziziphus (Sidr nectar), Acacia (Talha and Sumra), Lavendula (Seyfi and Dharm), and Hypoestes forskolin (Majra) bring exorbitant costs. And all of these are more costly than imported nectar.

The Pure Honey in Saudi Arabia's Price is more than the normal honey.

Malignant Growth, Coronary illness, Diabetes:

Analyses of diabetic rodents have discovered Tualang nectar to assume a part in managing blood glucose. On the other hand, the rodents aren't individuals, and experts caution against utilizing a lot of the sweet stuff. Pure Honey in Saudi Arabia is as yet utilized as a sugar, actually like table sugar, molasses, and maple syrup.

Antibacterial Features:

There's no question nectar can kill microbes. Studies have shown that it is compelling against many strains, including E. coli and salmonella. A particular kind of nectar from New Zealand, called manuka nectar, alongside Malaysian Tualang Natural Honey, has been displayed to battle staph. And also the stomach-related microorganisms liable for peptic ulcers, H. pylori.

What makes Natural Nectar Antimicrobic?

The Honey Shops brings the honey naturally extracted from the woods. Honey contains hydrogen peroxide into the nectar as they integrate blossom dust. Add that nectar is normally acidic, and you have a formula for antibacterial properties.

Manuka Pure Honey in Riyadh is imported in good quality as per your needs. It might be anti-toxin and is usable for additive purposes as well as medication.

Interview with The Acacia Strain

We had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Boutot of The Acacia Strain over Zoom video! 

Emerging in the early 2000s, the band found success in 2008 with their fourth full-length effort, Continent, which soared to the top of Billboard's U.S. Heatseekers chart. Subsequent efforts like Death Is the Only Mortal (2012), Coma Witch (2014), and the horror-themed semi-concept LP It Comes in Waves (2019) continued to snap necks in the metal community with brutal efficacy.

Formed in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 2001, the group consisted of guitarists Chris Daniele, Daniel Daponde, and Daniel Laskiewitz, vocalist Vincent Bennett, bass player Karrie Whitfield, and drummer Ben Abert. They released their debut, ...And Life Is Very Long, in 2002, followed by 3750 on Prosthetic Records in 2004. After 3750, the band lost Abert (who was replaced by drummer Kevin Boutot) and Daniele, and gained bassist Seth Coleman (Whitfield departed in 2003). In 2006, the Acacia Strain returned with their third full-length album, Dead Walk, on Prosthetic; subsequently, Coleman was replaced by bassist Jack Strong. Released in 2008, Continent found the group operating as a foursome, following Daponde's departure, while 2010's Wormwood introduced melodic hooks into the venomous mix of breakdowns and skull-splitting howling. The live CD/DVD Most Known Unknown arrived the following year.

The Acacia Strain signed to Rise Records in 2012, releasing Death Is the Only Mortal by year's end. Longtime member Laskiewitz left the band in 2013, and was replaced by Devin Shidaker and Rich Gomez, both of whom contributed guitar to the Acacia Strain's seventh full-length album, 2014's Coma Witch. In early 2017, the group issued "Bitter Pill," the first single from their eighth studio long-player, Gravebloom, which arrived later that June. In late 2019, the band released It Comes in Waves, a doomy, taut, and atmospheric seven-song set with single-word song titles that, when put together, construct the sentence "Our only sin was giving them names." The following year saw the Acacia Strain issue a series of pummeling 7" releases (A, C, E, D, Y) that went on to form (and spell) the full-length Slow Decay, which arrived that summer.

The Acacia Strain Share New ‘Y’ EP, Announce Full-Length LP ‘Slow Decay’

Finally the puzzle has been solved. After releasing their various two-track EPs D, E, C and A, deathcore champs The Acacia Strain have just shared their final one titled Y (that spells DECAY, by the way).

Commenting on the last of the five two-track EPs featuring songs “One Thousand Painful Stings” (Feat. Courtney LaPlante) and “Earth Will Become Death,” vocalist Vincent Bennett said, “Shoutout to Courtney for adding her expertise — and different dynamic — to this song extremely last minute. Are we at the bottom? Are we at the end, or are we just getting started?”

While some fans might think that’s the end of new music from the Massachusetts act, the band is actually gearing up to release a full-length album titled Slow Decay including the DECAY EPs plus two previously unreleased tracks.

Detailing the 12-track release due out July 24th via Rise Records, Bennett stated, “The whole concept is reality breaking down around us. We've done our time on earth, broken through the boundaries of what reality actually is and we're now witnessing our collective descent into madness.” 

“Lyrically and sonically, everything reflects that,” he adds. “You're getting the vision piece by piece. The whole theme is a slow dive. By the same token, it organically becomes one record instead of just one big push out of the gate. As soon as you think you're getting the hang of it, we throw out a wrench with the full-length.” 

Lastly, Bennet says, “There's no evidence to suggest we're aren't actually in a living hell. The things happening around us could be out of a comic book or a movie. The idea is, ‘This can't be real.’ Maybe something happened. Maybe we're all dead and we don't even know it. Maybe we're just living in some augmented reality hellscape of actual planet earth.”
