लाशें, जानलेवा सर्दी, दुर्गम राह, फिर माउंट एवरेस्ट क्यों आते हैं लोग?

'मैं फिर आऊंगा और चढ़ूंगा क्योंकि पर्वत होने के कारण तुम और नहीं बढ़ सकते, पर मनुष्य होने के कारण मैं और आगे बढ़ सकता हूं.'

29 मई 1953, दुनिया की सबसे ऊंची चोटी पर एडमंड हिलेरी और शेरपा तेनजिंग नोर्गे के कदम पड़ चुके थे. एडमंड ने दो बार के असफल प्रयासों के बाद जब माउंट एवरेस्ट फतह किया तो यह उनके उद्गार थे. कुछ ऐसा ही तेनजिंग नोर्गे ने भी कहा था. सभ्यता की शुरुआत से ही 'शीर्ष' पर पहुंचने की ललक लोगों में रही है. उन जगहों पर लोग कदम रखना चाहते हैं, जहां पहुंचना दुर्गम माना जाता है. खराब मौसम, माइनस में तपामान और सामने मौत देखकर भी लोगों का हौसला नहीं टूटता, लोग फिर भी 'माउंट एवरेस्ट' फतह करना चाहते हैं.

साल 1984 में जब भारत की पहली महिला पर्वतारोही बछेंद्री पाल ने माउंट एवरेस्ट की चोटी पर कदम रखा तो उन्होंने कहा, 'एवरेस्ट पर चढ़ना केवल शारीरिक शक्ति का खेल नहीं है, यह मन की इच्छाशक्ति और दृढ़ संकल्प की जीत है.' जैसी चुनौतियां 1948 में थीं, वैसी ही चुनौतियां इस दुर्गम पर्वत पर आज भी हैं. इन्हीं मुश्किलों को पार पाया है CISF की एक महिला सब इंस्पेक्टर गीता समोटा ने. उन्होंने 29032 फीट ऊंचे माउंट एवरेस्ट पर तिरंगा लहरा दिया है. वह ऐसा करने वाली CISF की पहली अधिकारी बन गई हैं.   राजस्थान के सीकर जिले के छोटे से गांव चक की रहने वाली गीता वहीं पली-बढ़ी हैं. कॉलेज में हॉकी प्लेयर रहीं गीता के पैर में ऐसी चोट लगी कि उन्होंने अपना करियर पर्वतारोहण की तरफ शिफ्ट कर लिया. अब उन्होंने दुनिया की सबसे ऊंची चोटी पर भी अपने पांव रख दिए हैं. मनुष्यों के माउंट एवरेस्ट विजय के 7 दशक बीत गए हैं लेकिन क्या कठिनाइयां कम हुई हैं? जवाब न में है.

माउंट एवरेस्ट की ऊंचाई 8 हजार मीटर से ज्यादा है. तापमान -40 डिग्री से सेल्सियस से कम. खून जमाने वाली सर्दी में हिमस्खलन, बर्फीले तूफान और खतरनाक फिसलन की चुनौती बनी रहती है. लोग यहां एल्टीट्यूड सिकनेस का भी शिकार हो जाते हैं. यही वजह है कि यहां की चढ़ाई, अब भी दुर्गम समझी जाती है. आइए इस आर्टिकल में जानते हैं माउंट एवरेस्ट जाने के लिए तमाम जानकारियां,पढ़ें रिपोर्ट.

Helllooo, can we have honey toast, matcha latte with brioche (preferably with rin or barou but you can choose hehe) from your bakeryy? Hehe i loooovee your writings

all set! one honey toast, a side of brioche, and a matcha latte coming right up. savor every moment ♡

“sho, come onnnn!” you whined, tugging on his sleeve like an overexcited puppy. “it’s just a little rain!”

“no,” he deadpanned, arms crossed, looking like he was seconds away from barricading the door. “you’ll get sick.”

“i won’t!” you insisted, beaming up at him. “pleaseee? just a quick walk? it’ll be fun!”

sho’s scowl deepened, but you knew better. he always looked like that — like the world owed him a personal apology. but under that grumpy face was a guy who was a total mom. the kind that remembered to bring you an umbrella even when the forecast said sunshine all day.

“fine,” he grunted, turning to grab your coat. “but you’re bundling up.”

“yayyy!” you cheered, practically bouncing on your heels.

“and wear this scarf.” he tossed it to you. “and gloves. and—”

“sho,” you cut him off with a giggle, “i’m not climbing mount everest. it’s drizzling.”

“don’t care,” he muttered, shoving a beanie on your head before tugging it down over your ears. “if you’re dragging me out in the rain, you’re staying warm.”

you grinned, linking your arm with his as you both stepped outside. the cool air hit you first, followed by the soft patter of raindrops. “isn’t this nice?” you sighed, tipping your head back to let the rain kiss your face.

“no,” sho grumbled, tugging you closer so his arm was like a protective barrier.

you giggled again, watching him scowl at every puddle like they were personally out to get you. but when you slipped your hand into his — cold fingers finding warmth in his — his scowl softened just a little.

“you��re impossible,” he muttered, but his hand squeezed yours anyway.

tiny baby blurb of rockstar!remus and new to the band!reader just dealing with everything together if that's okay!

thank u for ur request ♡ fem!reader

"What are they doing?"

Remus steps up to the window beside you, looking down at the crowd as it flows forward like a crashing wave. Sirius and James are small as grains of rice from so far below, but they are unmistakably themselves. 

"I hope they get trampled."

"We'd be missing half the band," you argue. 

"We could make it work. We're good like that." 

You lean into his side tentatively, wanting to know what he'll do. His hand comes up immediately to curve over your shoulder, his forearm pressed to your shoulder blade. He presses his cheek to the top of your head, the distinct smell of his chamomile cologne awakening with his movements. 

It's as calming as his touch. 

Remus, through everything, has been by your side. Physically and emotionally. His hand warms a path from the hill of your shoulder to the straight column of your neck, his lips touching your temple as he asks, "You okay, dove?" 

Things have been hectic lately, mainly tonight. The hotel room behind you is an explosion of clothes; jackets and shirts and a hundred pairs of trousers strewn about. There are socks on the TV stand, your clean underwear tipped and toed aside by the bottom of your bed. Remus promised to help you tidy up before this distraction, and you're wondering if he'd help you tidy up the mess in your head, if you asked. 

"I think I'm really tired," you confess quietly. 

Remus does kiss you, then, on the top of your head. It has your pulse roaring to life like a motor with its pull cord yanked out. It wouldn't shock you if they looked at your heart and found it spinning in circles. Yet he's always so casual about touching you, like it doesn't wobble the earth on its axis for him as it does you, so you try not to react. You're content to be doted on by him if doting is all it is. 

But you'd like a little more than that, too. 

"We'll clear off the bed and sleep." 

See, what's that? He's offering to get into bed with you? 

You pick at the caulking around the window. With the sun shining from an angle as it sets, gold light crawls up your arms. If you look into the diamond of shadow in the corner, you can see your two faces reflected. You look morosely exhausted. Remus looks handsomely concerned, half his face hidden where he's turned his cheek to your skin. His hand roams across your shoulder to the right most side, a half hug. 

"Is it a different kind of tired?" he asks gently. 

"I'm okay." You feel better the longer he touches you. He worries a lot about how you're coping under the pressure of the band, but he doesn't need to. "You know, I can do this, but only because you're with me." 

"That's not true, is it?" he asks, pulling your face into his neck for a quick squeeze. 

Remus' hand rubs a rougher pattern into the top of your arm before he separates from you, leaving you to miss the heat and security of his touch. 

"You don't need me to do this. You forget how impressive you are. Now come and help me put this away," he says.

You tear away from the window and the last lingering effects of his hug. "Can't you do it for me?" you joke, looking down at him where he's kneeled to begin folding your trousers. You're so tired that the idea of sitting down with him to put your clothes away feels akin to climbing Mount Everest. 

"Not unless you want me looking through your knickers, dove." 

You bite the inside of your cheek, suddenly much more awake. "I'll do it," you say. 

"These ones are cute," he says, reaching for a pair of black ones peeking out from under the bed frame. 

You drop to your knees and shove his shoulder, forcing his hand away. "I'll do it!" you repeat, your face burning with embarrassment. 

His answering laugh is especially annoying. Annoying and so, so charming.

I've now watched 3 YouTubers climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

This is a very high elevation mountain in Tanzania, Africa. It's basically for people who want the thrill seeking experience of Everest without the freezing cold and high risk of death.

Though more people die on Kilimanjaro than on Everest every year. But that is a statistical thing. 30,000 climbers and up to 10 deaths per year vs 600 climbers and 4 deaths per year.

Kilimanjaro is still a huge test of endurance and pushing yourself, but it's a lot safer and you can actually enjoy the experience rather than just be miserable the entire time. Nothing about climbing Everest is fun or enjoyable. It's literally just an exercise in saying you did it. Maybe you get to enjoy the views for a few moments here and there. But most of the time you are just trying not to die. And when you pass "rainbow valley" you are reminded of your possible death.

"Blue, Red, Orange, and Green colored jackets cover the dead bodies forever. Other than bodies, there are colorful garbage dumped, tents, cans, and oxygen tanks. From a distance, this area seems so colorful, like the rainbow; hence it is named the popular Rainbow Valley."

The thing that bothers me about these rich white folks doing this thrill seeking to the top of a mountain is that they don't do it alone. As they are fighting elevation sickness and trying to keep their lunch down, Tanzanian locals are carrying all of their shit up the mountain (while barely breaking a sweat). These porters carry 20kg/44lb packs up and down and get paid $10 per day. And, according to some redditor, tipping them $250 is "sufficient."

But these thrill seeking white people do not actually pay the porters their $10 per day salaries. That would actually be the company hired to arrange all of the trip logistics.

"Ah, so like a Tanzanian travel company books your flights and hires the porters and figures all of that out." you might be thinking.

Of course, that's not how it works.

For Smarter Every Day's trip up the mountain, he paid a company called "Killawarrior."

You pay them $7000.

They arrange everything.

And of that money, your porter gets $90.

The person making sure you get up the mountain alive and carrying all of your shit gets $90 for a 9 day trip on dangerous terrain.

And Gerry from Canada... gets a lot more.

And it's one of those things where... the inclination is to shame and boycott. "Don't go on these trips, the locals are paid nothing." But these are actually very good jobs for them. And they need this work.

It's just like the recent iPhone protest I saw. "Don't buy an iPhone. The battery is made from slave labor in the Congo." (All devices with Li-ion batteries are. And there are 2 billion more Android devices than iPhones. Would someone please start including Google in these protests?)

But if we all stopped buying stuff with batteries, the economy of Congo would collapse. As 9/10ths of their exports are minerals.

I saw a video where they followed a child around who was working on a cocoa farm. There was this 12 year old who would say he is 18, and they ask him how he felt about working on this farm. And he said, "I need this money for my family. My mother is sick and can't work, so I work."

It just seems like if we all stopped purchasing goods made from exploited labor, we'd be screwing a lot of poor and desperate folks. And if rich white folks stopped climbing mountains, those porters would have to settle for lower paying jobs.

So... what is the solution here?

It just seems like everyone is screwed no matter what.

Sorry for the cynical ending. I just got nothing positive or hopeful to say about this.

“oh i love *fav character* so much!”

NO

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND

i would drive across country, snorkel through international waters, climb mountains, bike through forests, crawl through deserts, fly through storms, tiptoe through mine fields, follow the yellow brick road, skip through flower fields, walk the road not taken, canoe across the atlantic ocean, mario kart through rainbow road, sail the bermuda triangle, ski down mount everest, hurdle over the grand canyon, travel through time, rocket ship through space, parasail during hurricanes, walk barefoot on a road of nails, hot air balloon through a tornado, cupid shuffle in a wall to wall crowded bar, tread through alligator infested swamps, dance the salsa through tartarus, cartwheel through the dirty nyc subway, dive head first into the marianna trench, and moonwalk past the gates of hell

just for the tiniest TASTE on the tip of my tongue of my favorite character

Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader

Word Count: ~400

CW: none

Emergency Request Fulfilled: My bday is soon and I usually end up crying because my family ends up busy and my friends often forget. Im a bit anxious for it for that reason. I was wondering if I could get a rengoku x reader, just fluff and comfort on the reader's bday please?

Kyojuro who isn’t sure what to do for your birthday. It’s in three days—the first he’ll ever get to celebrate with you—and he’s beginning to panic. Kyojuro who’s considered organizing a surprise party, taking you out to lunch, cooking ordering you a fancy dinner, or planning a weekend getaway, but nothing feels quite right. He’s already asked for your opinion, but your quiet, “I don’t know, flowers would be nice,” wasn’t much help. Kyojuro who’s starting to think Maybe they don’t care for their birthday? There are plenty of people who treat their birthdays as they would any other day, and he certainly doesn’t want to overwhelm you if you’re one of those people. Kyojuro who, after spending a lazy, lovely Sunday walking through public gardens, sipping tea, and playing board games with you, decides Damn it, I’ve got to do something!!!!!

Because you make him smile. Because you make his chest blossom, his heart glow, his lungs ache, whenever you say his name. Because you hold his hand so tightly and truly, so full of wonder and adoration, that he can’t stop himself from squeezing your knuckles till you squeak—Kyo!—grinning unapologetically as he murmurs—I believe I am experiencing cute aggression?—eyes twinkling when you playfully smack his shoulder. Because you deserve to know how much of him is filled with you. How much of him, his mind, his body, is willingly yours. How he cries when he sings along to sappy love songs (only in the shower, of course); how he sobs when he imagines himself getting to grow old beside you (he had to excuse himself from the grocery store once).

Kyojuro who’s still snoring next to you when you wake up, brilliant and warm in the sunlight, his arms easy to drape over yourself as you scoot yourself into his embrace. “Are you really asleep?” you whisper, peering through his long lashes, settling into the faint ash and ember of his soft, dreaming form. He doesn’t reply. You giggle, pressing a light kiss into the hollow of his throat, head craning further upward when you finally notice. There’s a single rose behind him, its stem slender and petals creamy as it rises from its delicate, ceramic vase, the telltale red of a romantic bow—likely adorning a box—just barely visible, blending in with the fiery tips of his hair.

—

Y’know Kyo, sometimes it would be nice to snuggle and stay in bed for a little while, but nooo, you’ve always climbed Mount Everest or something by the time I wake up!

My love... I have never climbed Mount Everest...

[p-redux]

I say he is in Nepal, either at base camp, or less likely, scaling Everest. Your opinion on this theory?

Hi, Anon, as I said in a previous post, I have a slight obsession with all things Mount Everest, have read the books, watched the movies, the TV series, and every year when it's the push for the summit in May, I follow climbers on Instagram, and watch their treks up to the highest mountain on Earth. Soooo, I do have some knowledge on this subject. Here's my take...

I know Sam has said in interviews that one of his bucket list items is climbing Mount Everest. And he was supposed to star in that Everest movie. The thing is, climbing to the SUMMIT of Mount Everest is only done in May, usually mid May due to weather constraints. And the prep dictates you have to start 2 months before to acclimate to the high altitude. I'll talk more about that down below. IF you are able to spend the two months in either Nepal for climbing from the South side of Everest, or Tibet (controlled by China) for climbing from the North side of Everest, you will be climbing to almost 29,032 feet, 8,849 meters. This is literally the altitude that jet planes fly once they reach cruising altitude. Sam has this pesky thing called a contract to finish out the remaining seasons of Outlander. I highly doubt his Outlander contract, and the insurance company associated with it, would allow him to take such a risk. Every year, people DIE climbing up or on the way back down from the summit. And some people don't die, but they get severe frostbite and lose fingers, toes, tips of noses. It's not for the faint of heart, and it's not for handsome actors who need to keep their beautiful appendages intact for filming Outlander. Unless the writers can work on a storyline involving Jamie Fraser missing a few, um, things.

Having said that, it IS possible Sam could trek to Mount Everest BASE CAMP. This is the area at the base of the mountain that all climbers go to to prepare to climb higher up, and eventually to the summit. BUT, some people who aren't making summit bids, simply make Base Camp their one and only destination. And that may be a compromise Sam makes with Outlander producers. Base Camp is still REALLY, REALLY high. It's at 17,598 feet, 5,364 meters. Sam isn't putting himself in too much risk at Base Camp...unless there's an avalanche. Sadly, there have been avalanches there and many people have died, as a result, the last one being in 2015.

Everest Base Camp in Nepal is trekked either for the Summit bid season February to May, with all summit bids happening in May. OR, it is trekked JUST for the Base Camp in late September to November. We are now in November, so it IS possible. 👇

BUT, you don't simply hop on a plane and get plopped down at Base Camp's 17,000 feet altitude. You could quite literally die from High Altitude Cerebral Edema and or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema due to the low oxygen levels. Soooo, IF Sam wanted to trek to Mount Everest Base Camp in Nepal, he would have to start acclimating at least two weeks before. All travelers going from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu at an elevation of 4,344 feet stay there for a few days, and then they do a 14 day trek up the mountains, to allow their bodies to acclimate to the altitude and the lower oxygen levels. 👇

Sam would have to allow himself at LEAST 3 WEEKS to make the Everest Base Camp trek. 2 weeks to climb there and acclimate, and then you want to spend at least a week there camping and just being there. Then you have to allow time for the return climb back down. This isn't a weekend excursion.

As for whether Sam is actually trying to climb to Mount Everest SUMMIT. That would be a definite NO. Not only from an Outlander insurance and contract issue, but also because it's not summit climbing season. 👇

And for people who want to climb to the Summit, they have to make a 2 MONTH commitment. The summit climb entails the two weeks to climb to Base Camp. And then at least 6 weeks, climbing up and down from each of the higher camps. I think there are at least 4 camps that climbers stay at, higher and higher on the mountain, until they reach the Summit. 👇

So, if a climber wants to go for a Summit bid, which is always in mid-May, they would have to start in mid-March and literally be on Mount Everest at the various camps the whole two months. It's a huge commitment. Most companies charge around $40,000 for the whole expedition. The reputable ones assign each climber a Sherpa to guide you. The Sherpas are natives to the area and they are expert climbers who are born in the area, therefore their bodies are completely acclimated to the high altitude. The expedition companies hire them to help climbers up the mountain. They set all the safety ropes, set up the camps, make the meals, and deal with the inevitable emergencies along the way. No one should climb without a Sherpa. Also, most companies will only take on a climber for a Summit bid if they can show previous experience in climbing at high altitude and have summitted a few of the highest peaks on Earth. That's not Sam. So, if anything, Sam would probably only be allowed to climb to Base Camp.

As you can see, I'm really, really into all things Everest and could keep writing all day hahaha. But, I'll stop here. I hope that was helpful info, Anon.

ADHD Mornings

Chaos, Coffee, and How to Tackle It

Mornings with ADHD are none other than, an adventure. For women especially, mornings can feel like a battle between what you planned to do and what your brain actually decides to do. It’s not laziness—it’s a whirlwind of distractions, time blindness, and decision fatigue before the day even starts.

Let’s break down what mornings look like for ADHD women, and then I’ll share some tips that have helped me (on my good days). And stick around—there’s a little letter full of love waiting for you at the end.

The ADHD Woman’s Morning Struggle

1. The Snooze Button Olympics

The alarm goes off, but getting out of bed feels like climbing Mount Everest. Your brain tells you, Five more minutes won’t hurt. (Spoiler: it’s never just five minutes.)

2. Decision Paralysis: What Comes First?

Should you shower first? Make coffee? Check emails? You bounce between tasks, starting one and then abandoning it halfway through because, suddenly, your brain remembers you need to reorganize the junk drawer.

3. The Distraction Spiral

You’re brushing your teeth when you notice a smudge on the mirror. You clean it, which leads to wiping the sink, which leads to rearranging your skincare products. Oh, and now you’re late.

4. Time Blindness

You thought you had an hour to get ready, but somehow it’s been 40 minutes, and you haven’t even picked an outfit. Cue the last-minute scramble.

Tackling the ADHD Morning Chaos

Here’s the truth: ADHD mornings will never be perfect, but there are ways to make them less chaotic.

1. Prep the Night Before

I know, I know. It’s hard to think ahead when you’re exhausted at night, but even small things—like laying out clothes or packing your bag—can make mornings less overwhelming.

2. Use Alarms Strategically

Set multiple alarms for different tasks, like “Time to shower” or “Leave the house.” Bonus tip: Label them with funny, motivating messages like “You Got This, Babe!”

3. Simplify Your Choices

Fewer decisions = less stress. Create a “go-to” breakfast, keep a capsule wardrobe of easy outfits, and use the same morning routine checklist every day.

4. Create a Morning Playlist

Weather Music or religious songs or even recitation of your Holy Book played in your favourite app can help keep you on track and make mundane tasks more enjoyable.

Bonus: Use time-based playlists (e.g., “Three tracks to get dressed”).

5. Let Go of Perfection

Your morning doesn’t have to look like a Pinterest board. If you can get out the door fed, dressed, and on time, that’s a win.

A Letter to ADHD Women

Dear You,

I know mornings are hard. They’re loud, messy, and full of a hundred tiny battles your brain doesn’t feel ready to fight. You beat yourself up because it seems like everyone else has their morning routine figured out, while yours feels like controlled chaos at best.

But here’s the thing: Your mornings don’t define you. The way you tackle your day isn’t a reflection of how strong, smart, or capable you are. It’s just a reflection of how beautifully unique your brain is.

Yes, you take the long way sometimes. Yes, your coffee gets cold while you get distracted cleaning a drawer. But you also have this amazing ability to make life interesting, to find joy in the small, random things that others overlook.

So, here’s my wish for you: On the mornings when everything goes wrong, I hope you give yourself grace. On the mornings when you hit snooze too many times or forget to pack lunch, I hope you laugh it off. And on the mornings when you do manage to follow your plan, I hope you celebrate like it’s a victory—because it is.

Your mornings might not be perfect, but neither is life. And in the imperfection, there’s magic.

With love,

ScatterMindSage

I wish the Rat Grinders could see the Bad Kids the way we get to. I wish they could see the care and compassion they have for the people they meet. How this silly little band of “We got detention day one” weirdos are family and interconnected through themselves and their families in the most bonkers ways possible. How they actually try and help people and whatever lack of care Kipperlily sees is only the tip of a much bigger iceberg. But she doesn’t actually care. She only cares about winning because she sees that as her mountain to climb. She’s on Mount Tenpō, the Bad Kids are on Everest

[ratsoh-writes]

What's the tallest mountain in Ebbott? Can most people hike it?

I swear I said something about this a whole ago but I can’t remember 😭😭😭😭

Ok I’ll redo it~

It’s mount ivory, named after the largest royal and happens to also have a pretty white stone tip in the summer when the snow melts. The mountain is located in the ridgeside mountain range and can be climbed! It’s like 2/3rds the size of Mount Everest. So hecking big but not the biggest in the world

[disabled-is-not-a-dirty-word]

23, 33, and 35 for disability asks ? :3

23. Do you have any tricks for living with your specific ability/symptoms?

I have several!

Hygiene Tips: A shower chair is a must for POTS. Lower the temperature of your showers too, if you can stand it. I highly recommend getting a handheld shower head with a button on it to pause the water flow. I find that I can tolerate showers with much warmer water since I started turning the water off when I'm not actively using it. I also recommend putting your head down to rinse your hair. Face wipes and bath wipes are very helpful when you feel gross or stink, but you can't bathe. Using a bidet instead of toilet paper has made the time between showers much less unpleasant for me. Try your best to keep your underwear clean. Change them regularly even if you haven't bathed

Preservation Tips: Don't always work up to your breaking point. There are times when it is necessary, but it isn't ALWAYS necessary, and if you keep pushing, you will push yourself into a flare. Additionally, don't wait until you are already in a bad place to use tools that might help you, like disability aids and medication.

Community Tips: Meet up with IRL disabled people if possible. Having online disabled friends is great, but it isn't always an accurate portrayal of day-to-day life as a disabled person. People come online to share the best and worst moments of their lives, not their mundane experiences. That can be very intimidating. Certain support groups online make it seem like becoming disabled is the end of your life, and it's not! At the same time, it's ALSO not something that you should be constantly fighting against to achieve the same feats as abled people. Living your life to the fullest doesn't mean climbing Mount Everest "in spite of your disability," it means taking care of your mind and body as best you can.

Misc: Cooling products are your best friend!!! Also, firm mattress + tons of pillows for positioning is the best way to sleep with EDS!

33. What is one story related to your illness/disability that you'd like to tell?

I recently had a spine MRI that received such rave reviews as: “Why does it look like that?”, “I've never seen a spine shaped like that before”, “did you break your spine and not notice??” and “what the hell are you even supposed to do about this?” 10/10 would spine again. Also, they didn't find what they were looking for IN SPITE OF HOW WACK MY SPINE LOOKED, so now I have to go for a brain MRI on Saturday 🥲👍

35. How do you find small moments of happiness when you're struggling?

I have to compartmentalize my mind. Of course, there is a part of my brain that is very scared about the new symptoms that I don't have explanations for yet as well as my normal nonsense, but there is also a part that is getting ready for Christmas, and another part that is preparing for my wedding, and another part that is enjoying the work that I do… and all of these things are happening simultaneously. If I let my fear and pain be all that I experience, I would be missing out on so many amazing things!

Language Study Community – Enhance Your Language Skills

Conquering a new language can feel like climbing Mount Everest – exciting, challenging, and sometimes a little daunting. You might be enrolled in a language class, using online learning apps, or tackling it independently with textbooks and podcasts. But there’s one powerful tool that can significantly boost your language learning journey: the Language Study Group.

Language Study Groups provide a supportive and dynamic environment to enhance your language skills. While traditional learning methods offer valuable foundations, interacting with peers in a dedicated group setting unlocks a whole new level of practice and progress.

Why Join a Language Study Group?

Here are some compelling reasons to consider joining a language study group, especially for high school and college students:

1. Deeper Language Immersion:

Language learning thrives on immersion. While apps and online resources can simulate a virtual environment, a study group offers a more dynamic and realistic experience. Discussing topics, asking questions, and participating in debates in your target language exposes you to different accents, vocabulary, and colloquialisms, creating a richer learning experience.

2. Collaborative Learning:

Explain Learning emphasizes that teaching a concept strengthens your own understanding. In a language study group, you can take turns explaining vocabulary words, grammar rules, or even presenting cultural nuances you’ve discovered. This collaborative learning approach not only reinforces your own knowledge but also allows you to learn from your peers’ unique perspectives on the language.

3. Enhanced Confidence and Fluency:

Speaking a new language can be intimidating. A supportive study group environment provides a safe space to practice speaking and overcome the fear of making mistakes. By engaging in regular conversations with other learners, you’ll gradually increase your confidence and fluency, making you more comfortable speaking the language in everyday situations.

4. Increased Motivation and Accountability:

Learning a language requires dedication and consistent practice. Study groups foster a sense of accountability, knowing your peers are relying on you to show up prepared. This shared commitment can keep you motivated, especially when faced with challenging topics or moments of discouragement.

5. Exposure to Diverse Learning Styles:

Everyone learns differently. Joining a language study group allows you to interact with peers who prefer various learning styles. Some might excel at visual aids, while others benefit from auditory explanations or kinesthetic activities. By witnessing and participating in different learning approaches, you can discover new tactics to enhance your own language acquisition.

Finding the Perfect Language Study Group:

1. Online Platforms:

The digital age offers a wealth of options for finding a language study group. Numerous online platforms connect learners worldwide based on skill level, target language, and learning goals. These platforms often have built-in features for facilitating discussions, document sharing, and video conferencing.

2. Language Learning Communities:

Many schools and universities have dedicated language learning centers or student-run language clubs. These groups provide an excellent opportunity to connect with classmates or fellow students passionate about learning the same language.

3. Local Community Centers and Libraries:

Community centers and libraries often host language learning programs or conversation groups. These sessions offer a casual and accessible environment to practice conversational skills with native speakers or fellow learners within your community.

Tips for a Successful Language Study Group:

1. Define Your Goals:

Before forming a group, establish a clear goal. Do you want to focus on conversational skills, prepare for a language exam, or delve deeper into a specific aspect of the language like literature or grammar? Setting clear goals will help you attract compatible members with similar aspirations.

2. Set Ground Rules and Structure:

Establish the frequency and duration of your group meetings. Decide on a structure for your sessions, such as rotating topics, incorporating games or activities, and allocating time for practicing conversation skills.

3. Embrace Different Levels:

It’s perfectly fine to have members with varying levels of proficiency. A supportive group environment encourages advanced learners to mentor beginners, fostering a sense of community and shared progress.

4. Celebrate Successes and Milestones:

Learning a language is a journey filled with achievements, big and small. Celebrate each other’s successes, from mastering a new grammar point to overcoming a fear of public speaking. This positive reinforcement will keep everyone motivated and engaged.

Conclusion:

Joining a Language Study Group is a fantastic way to take your language learning to the next level. By leveraging the power of Group Study, you can immerse yourself in the language, enhance your understanding, and build confidence in your speaking abilities. So, gather your language-loving friends, set some goals, and embark on a rewarding journey of linguistic discovery together!

A Cheat Sheet for EHR Data Conversion and Migration

Bid farewell to data headaches and embrace a seamless transition between Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems! Moving to a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) can feel like scaling Mount Data Everest, but fear not, brave healthcare hero. This cheat sheet is your trusty sherpa, guiding you through the tricky terrain of data conversion and migration.

Before You Begin

Investigate how both your current and future EHR systems handle data export and import. Is it a database dump, APIs, or file transfers? The sooner you understand, the smoother the migration.

Do not assume that all data is easily transferable. Scrutinize your data to ensure it meets the new system’s requirements, as not all elements may seamlessly make the journey.

Don’t rely on cumbersome claim transfers. Wrap up outstanding accounts receivable in your old system before making the switch.

Schedule your migration around holidays to minimize disruption and give your team (and the data!) breathing room.

Conversion Strategies

Embrace a phased approach. Move demographics, appointments, and master lists first. Clinical data can wait (gasp!). This lets your team and the new EHR prioritize and get you online ASAP.

Conduct multiple tests, running trial conversions on small patient samples (say 30 patients). You’ll unearth issues before they become mountain-sized problems.

Consider retaining temporary access to your old system for reference purposes. It’s like a safety net for those “oh, I forgot that!” moments.

Not everything needs a new home. Utilize an archival system for data you don’t need in the new EHR.

Data Essentials

Ensure a smooth migration by prioritizing the transfer of the following essential data:

Patient Information: Demographics, insurance scans, policy details, historic charges/balances.

Appointments: Both past and future appointments, meticulously organized.

Master Lists: Categorize and transfer insurance providers, referral sources, and other relevant lists.

Clinical Data: Chart PDFs, discrete text data, allergies, medications, problem lists, immunizations, and progress notes.

Procedures: Transfer detailed information such as CPT codes, modifiers, and pre-authorization codes.

CCDAs: Acquire the Summary of Care document, a valuable data repository.

Financials: Limited financial data may be transferred, but confirm the specifics with your new EHR to ensure accuracy.

Bonus Tip: Make a list of all your EHR integration points like FHIR, HL7 V2, APIs, CSV files. Don’t leave any data orphans behind!

But fear not, weary traveler! You don’t have to climb this mountain alone. We’re here to help with expert guidance, proven strategies, and a team of data Sherpas ready to tackle any conversion challenge. Contact us today for a free consultation and let’s turn your EHR migration into a smooth and stress-free journey!

Remember, with the right plan and a helping hand, even the mightiest data peak can be conquered.

How Difficult is the Everest Base Camp Trek?

The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the most iconic trekking adventures in the world. Every year, thousands of trekkers dream of standing at the base of the world’s highest mountain — Mount Everest. But before embarking on this bucket-list journey, one common question arises: How difficult is the Everest Base Camp trek?

In this article, we’ll break down the challenges of the EBC trek, what makes it achievable for many, and how to prepare for a successful adventure.

Everest Base Camp Trek Overview

The Everest Base Camp lies at an altitude of 5,547 meters (18,200 feet) in the Khumbu region of Nepal. The classic EBC trek takes about 13 days, covering roughly 130 kilometers (80 miles) round trip from Lukla.

Although it doesn’t require technical climbing skills, the Everest Base Camp trek is physically demanding due to its high altitude, variable weather, and long daily hikes.

Factors That Make the Everest Base Camp Trek Challenging

1. Altitude

The most significant challenge of the Everest Base Camp trek is altitude. As you ascend above 3,000 meters, the risk of altitude sickness increases. Trekkers need to acclimatize properly, stay hydrated, and follow a gradual ascent.

2. Physical Endurance

The EBC trek involves hiking 5–8 hours daily, often over rocky, steep, and uneven terrain. While you don’t need to be an athlete, good cardiovascular fitness and leg strength are essential.

3. Weather Conditions

The weather in the Everest region can be unpredictable. Temperatures can drop well below freezing, especially in the early mornings and at night. Sudden weather changes can also affect visibility and trail conditions.

4. Basic Facilities

While the route to Everest Base Camp has tea houses and lodges, amenities are basic, especially at higher altitudes. Expect shared bathrooms, limited hot water, and simple meals.

Who Can Do the Everest Base Camp Trek?

Despite the challenges, the Everest Base Camp trek is considered moderate in difficulty. With the right preparation, determination, and support, it is achievable for most people with average fitness.

Suitable for:

Individuals who train for several months beforehand

Trekkers aged 12 to 65+ (with medical clearance)

Those comfortable with basic living conditions and slow-paced hikes

Tips to Make Your EBC Trek Easier

Train in advance with cardio, strength, and endurance exercises

Trek slowly and take acclimatization days seriously

Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol at high altitudes

Pack smart, keeping weight low but gear sufficient

Hire a guide or porter to ease the load and provide local insight

The Everest Base Camp trek is not just a physical journey; it’s a mental and emotional challenge that rewards you with unforgettable views, cultural immersion, and a sense of accomplishment. While it is not a walk in the park, the EBC trek is definitely within reach for those who prepare well and approach it with respect.

So, is the Everest Base Camp trek difficult? Yes, but it’s also one of the most fulfilling experiences a trekker can undertake.

What Is a Stock Market Mentor?

A stock market mentor is not just someone who teaches you charts and indicators—they guide, support, and help you build the mindset of a trader. Think of them like a GPS. While you may eventually reach your destination without one, the journey is likely to be longer, confusing, and full of wrong turns.

Why You Need Stock Market Mentorship

Let’s face it—YouTube videos and free tips only go so far. Without proper direction, trading becomes guesswork. That’s where stock market mentorship steps in. A mentor helps you:

Avoid emotional trading

Stick to a disciplined strategy

Understand risk management

Build confidence over time

Rhetorical question: Would you climb Mount Everest without a guide? Then why trade without one?

Qualities of the Best Stock Market Mentor

The best trading trainer in India isn't someone who simply shows off profits. Look for someone who:

Has real market experience (not just theory)

Teaches risk management

Is approachable and humble

Focuses on student success, not just self-promotion

In mentorship, credibility beats charisma.

How a Mentor Can Save You from Costly Mistakes

One wrong trade can wipe out months of gains. A mentor prevents that. They’ve already made the mistakes—so you don’t have to.

Metaphor: A mentor is like a lighthouse guiding you through a stormy sea.

With the right guidance, your learning is accelerated, and your losses minimized.
