Let’s talk adopting collectors editions that were damaged and otherwise seen as trash. I found this one on ebay for $66, with everything inside still in wrap, and the box having at worst a hole in the back that’s not even ruining the character artwork. A simple, two second fix was enough to make it look fine to me, and I saved around ~$30 getting my hands on one that was more pristine.
When it comes to collecting, I end up valuing the stuff other people would consider worthless—catch me buying damaged boxes since I also save a lot of money. This Switch LE of Disgaea 5 Complete was cheap because the box was ‘damaged’, though far less visible than this one here. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on the PS4 LE of Disgaea 5 for months now, not only so I can compare it to the switch’s Complete version, but just because I love to display the box artwork and the PS4′s release had tastier Christo art. (I’m biased, he is my angel demon husband)
I was lucky to snag this one, given everything inside it is unopened still. I do have to ultimately make the decision to crack these, though, if I want to play D5 on my ps4 (See: I do.)
Here’s an interesting thing to note: The artbook differences! Christo’s got a few more stuff on his page in the PS4 artbook, and also the Toy’sworks page is included. Good. I want a scan of that chibi C-sto.

I've been spending some time cleaning up and organizing this Imperial Library post about TES conlangs for my own personal use. The amount of love and labor that must have gone into creating the post is astounding, but sadly it looks like the author hasn't logged on in over a year and from their comments they were mostly focused on developing the Elven languages, leaving Nordic sadly unfinished. Now that I've got all their components organized and searchable, I think I'm going to try and continue fleshing it out bit by bit to use in my stories.
Speaking of stories I ended up back on one of my favorite Wikipedia pages today, which is this list of ways that different cultures start and end fairytales, fables, and folk stories. It got me thinking about oral traditions among the Nords and what their story starters and endings would be like. So to practice with the conlang, I decided to tweak some from the Wikipedia list and translate them into Nordic. They're not necessarily word-for-word translations, and I had to invent quite a few verbs and a handful of nouns that weren't in the original post, but I had a lot of fun translating these!
Story Starters:
Listen! Bryla!
Once there was a story… Aan tid valvi tal…
In ancient days… I ald dalgar…
Once there lived a king/queen… Ont fjørvi rik/rika…
In some kingdom, in some land, there lived… I kongerike, i land, fjørvi…
Once there was a truly great friendship… Aan tid valvi thrud sinid...
Back when dragons sang to the skies… Eer herr draker hjoldvir vid va himmlar…
Once there was and once there wasn’t. In long-distant days of yore, when whales roamed the skies, when giants sailed the seas, when Kyne breathed on the mountain, there lived… Ont valvi o ont ejvalvi. I kryssig dalgarva, herr hvalar gandravi va himmlar, herr myrvagandar kjølvi va hafar, herr Kyne vindvir va fjell, fjørvi…
Beyond nine mountains, beyond nine rivers, beyond nine holds, there was… Brir ni fjelle, brir ni stradar, brir ni holdar, valvi…
I remember something my father told me, and that is this:... Ek damvir aanding meja fathir talvir mej, o a vorar her:...
And the endings:
And my tale went from mountain to mountain and I remained with the Companions. O meja tal gangvi fram fjell vid fjell o ek sarvir opp va rolfar.
So at last the tale is finished. Alleid sindi va tal sladvir.
And they lived happily and had many children. O jo veli fjørvi o fyltvi hyra barnar. 
And they lived happily until they died. O jo veli fjørvi ere jo offravi. 
And for three days they ate and drank and reveled. O fram thri dagar jo matvi o vatravi o lofravi.
And they met at last in the Hall of Shor. O jo sindi finnvi i Sovngarde.
Their grief was ended and they met joyfully. Jora bør sladvir o jo veli fjaldvi.
My tale has finished, it has gone home. Meja tal sladvir, a gangvir heim.
And they have happiness and wealth to this day. O jo fjørvi velle o hyra goll vid her dag. 
This is the end; run away with it. Her vora va slad; rurar brir opp a. 
If you don’t believe it, find out for yourself. Ef ek ej radvar a, finna ser a. 
And I was there too, and drank mead and beer. O ek valvir ott, o vatravir honnung o bjor.
The tale has come to its end, but the story remains. Va tal famvir vid ara slad, ak va tal sarar.

She couldn't help the giggle that escaped her from the much appreciated affection from the one she loves the most. Of course- she hasn't told him about that. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a bunch of sweet little kisses all over his face! "Thank you Valvie!!"

Chemical Peels: Most Efficient Procedure to Treat Acne
Tumblr media
Acne can cause a wide range of skin conditions, from mild irritation to major problems that could negatively impact one’s appearance and self-esteem. Dr. Madhavi Valvi, a renowned dermatologist for Acne Treatment in Mumbai, explains that finding the best treatment for acne does not have to be difficult. There are various treatments available but chemical peels are one of the most effective treatment options for treating acne. With a chemical peel, layers of skin are removed to reveal more youthful skin beneath. Chemical peels can help with scars, uneven skin tone, acne, fine lines and wrinkles, and other skin imperfections. For More:- www.bondhuplus.com/read-blog/80705

Gary Null’s Show Notes 04 25 23
If you listen to Gary’s show, you know that he begins with the latest findings in natural approaches to health and nutrition. Starting this week, we will make some of those findings available each weekday to subscribers to the Gary Null Newsletter.
Exposure to chemicals found in everyday products is linked to significantly reduced fertility, says study
Leafy greens may boost gut immunity: Study
Can positive thinking prolong your life? Science says yes
Exposure to chemicals found in everyday products is linked to significantly reduced fertility, says study
Mount Sinai Hospital, March 20, 2023
Exposure to chemicals commonly found in drinking water and everyday household products may result in reduced fertility in women of as much as 40%, according to a study by Mount Sinai researchers. In a paper published in Science of the Total Environment, the team reported that higher blood concentrations of perfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, were associated with a significant reduction in the likelihood of pregnancy and live birth among a reproductive-age cohort of women in Singapore who were trying to conceive.
"Our study strongly implies that women who are planning pregnancy should be aware of the harmful effects of PFAS and take precautions to avoid exposure to this class of chemicals, especially when they are trying to conceive," says lead author Nathan Cohen, Ph.D., at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "Our findings are important because they add to the growing body of knowledge implicating PFAS in the development of adverse health conditions, with children being especially vulnerable."
PFAS are water- and grease-resistant chemicals found in drinking water as well as in a wide range of consumer products such as nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, food packaging, stain-resistant coatings on carpets and upholstery, paints, and personal care products. Numerous studies have found that virtually every American has PFAS in their blood. While other studies have demonstrated that PFAS impair reproductive functioning in female mice, the Mount Sinai investigation is one of the first to show its impact in humans.
The team found 30% to 40% lower odds of attaining a clinical pregnancy within one year of follow-up and delivering a live birth when the combined effects of seven PFAS as a mixture were considered. The biggest contributor to the PFAS mixture was perfluorodecanoic acid, which was individually linked to reduced fertility. Associations with infertility outcomes were also observed for perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, perfluorooctanoic acid, and perfluoroheptanoic acid.
"PFAS can disrupt our reproductive hormones and have been linked with delayed puberty onset and increased risks for endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndromein few previous studies. What our study adds is that PFAS may also decrease fertility in women who are generally healthy and are naturally trying to conceive," notes senior author Damaskini Valvi,
"We also know that PFAS exposure begins in utero and transfers from the mother to the fetus, as many PFAS have been detected in cord blood, the placenta, and breast milk. Preventing exposure to PFAS is therefore essential to protect women's health as well as the health of their children.
Leafy greens may boost gut immunity: Study
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Australia, March 15, 2023
The new study finds that dietary factors, and in particular consumption of cruciferous leafy greens, control the activity of vital immune cells through the activation of a particular gene known as T-bet.
These immune cells, known as innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), play a vital role in protecting the body from infection by 'bad' pathogenic bacteria in our gut - and have also been suggested to play an important role in controlling food allergies, inflammatory diseases, obesity, and even bowel cancers, say the researchers writing Nature Immunology.
"In this study, we discovered that T-bet is the key gene that instructs precursor cells to develop into ILCs, which it does in response to signals in the food we eat and to bacteria in the gut," Dr Gabrielle Belz from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Australia.  ILCs are essential for immune surveillance of the digestive system and this is the first time that we have identified a gene responsible for the production of ILCs."
Belz said that the proteins in cruciferous vegetables are known to interact with a cell surface receptor that switches on T-bet – and might therefore play a role in producing these critical immune cells.
"Proteins in these leafy greens could be part of the same signalling pathway that is used by T-bet to produce ILCs," she said.
Belz and her team noted that ILCs are essential for maintaining the delicate balance between tolerance, immunity and inflammation – by producing a hormone called interleukin-22 (IL-22), which can protect the body from invading bacteria.
"Our research shows that, without the gene T-bet, the body is more susceptible to bacterial infections that enter through the digestive system,” Belz added. “This suggests that boosting ILCs in the gut may aid in the treatment of these bacterial infections.”
Can positive thinking prolong your life? Science says yes
Studies show that staying optimistic about aging can be as beneficial to your health as exercising or eating well.
National Geographic, March 14, 2023
After my father died, my mother joined a community center with a pool and started swimming laps several times a week. Dorothy was nearly 80. She met people, learned about local programs and services for older folks, and discovered a senior center that remains her hangout 18 years later. It serves hot lunch for a dollar. A dee jay comes in and she dances. She has made friends, including a group of women who meet for lunch every Saturday in a restaurant that serves huge portions and free coffee refills. I often say, only half-jokingly, she has a better social life than I do.
Scientists have known for quite a while that people with strong ties to friends and family tend to live long. A team from Brigham Young University looked at results from 148 studies dating back to 1900 that investigated whether solid relationships are a lifesaver. All told, the studies included 308,849 participants and followed subjects for an average 7.5 years. At the end of that time, people with strong social connections were 50 percent more likely to be alive than those who were isolated and lonely.
According to the analysis, a satisfying social life was as beneficial for long-term survival as quitting smoking (something my mother did after a four-decade habit) and may be even more crucial than exercise and overcoming obesity.
Social connections may influence health through what the researchers call “stress buffering.” Support from others helps us adapt emotionally to illness, the death of a loved one, or other challenges that often pile up as we get older. Better coping, in turn, eases the flow of stress-induced hormones that weaken our immune system and increase susceptibility to deadly infections, heart disease, and stroke. Strong relationships also encourage us to take better care of ourselves, and can provide a sense of purpose—another factor associated with longer life.
In research like this, of course, it’s difficult to tease out cause and effect. Does social engagement keep older people healthy—or does robust health give them the zest and desire to spend time with friends? Either way, an editors’ note accompanying the Brigham Young analysis said doctors and other health professionals “should take social relationships as seriously as other risk factors that affect mortality.”
The power of beliefs
Becca Levy, a professor of epidemiology and psychology at Yale University, points to another influence on healthy longevity: our beliefs about aging. She has published scores of studies demonstrating that whether we think of old age as a time to enjoy or something to dread has a powerful influence on how well, or how badly, we do as we inch closer to that stage.
Levy became curious about the health effects of aging beliefs—and how cultural stereotypes and values about the elderly shape our personal attitudes—as a graduate student visiting Japan. That country has one of the world’s highest life expectancies. For a long time, scientists chalked it up to genes and diet, but Levy wondered if something less obvious was at play.
Her ideas about aging beliefs jelled when a national holiday, Keiro No Hi, which translates as Respect for the Aged Day, rolled around in September. Seniors packed parks and dined at restaurants for free. Schoolchildren delivered meals to shut-ins. In Japan, she observed, older people commanded respect, even reverence. They were not shunted aside or ridiculed as “geezers” or “over the hill.”
“What I actually noticed was how differently the culture seemed to treat the oldest members of the Japanese society, as opposed to some more of the ageism that I was used to seeing in the United States,” Levy recalls.
Levy has found that adults in their 30s and 40s who had positive notions about old age—they equated it with wisdom, for example, instead of decrepitude—were more likely to be in good health decades later. In another study, she showed that people 50 and older who had optimistic views of aging were much better able to perform everyday tasks over their next 18 years—activities like shoveling snow and walking a half-mile—than peers who regarded old age bleakly. Older people who had positive age beliefs at the start of one of Levy’s studies were also much more likely to fully regain function after a new disabling injury.
Levy’s research also suggests that rose-colored perceptions of aging offer protection against cognitive decline, even in adults who are genetically susceptible. Levy and her colleagues studied people who carried the APOE ε4 gene, which increases the risk of Alzheimer’s. At the start of the project, all her subjects were dementia-free. Those who had upbeat views of old age were 47 percent less likely to develop dementia than the APOE ε4 carriers who had grim notions of aging.
In another study, Levy found that relatively young, healthy, cognitively fit people who saw nothing promising about growing old were much more likely to eventually develop plaques and tangles in the brain, the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. And their hippocampi, the curved brain structures essential for memory, shrank three times as fast.
Perhaps most striking, Levy discovered that people with the brightest view of aging lived an average seven and a half years longer than those with the gloomiest.
Positive mindsets support bodies
How do beliefs exert such power? For one thing, Levy says, people with a positive mindset about aging tend to have better self-efficacy and self-mastery, the ability to take control of their lives and regulate their impulses. They also tend to eat well, exercise, and take prescribed medications. And they have lower levels of the hormone cortisol and other biomarkers of stress.
“What’s important about age beliefs is they’re malleable,” she says.
Writing is one way to shift how we think about aging. In a study, Levy asked groups of adults to imagine a day in the life of a hypothetical older person who is physically and mentally healthy, and briefly write about it once a week. After just four weeks, negative perceptions of aging declined significantly.
She also has had study subjects keep a journal of portrayals of elders on TV. It opened people’s eyes to the condescending and ugly stereotypes that bombard us and twist our perceptions and assumptions about aging. “The idea is to make people more aware of both their own age beliefs, and the age-belief messaging they encounter in everyday life,” Levy says.
I asked Levy if our collective view of aging has improved as the elder population has ballooned and more of us hit and surpass 65. In fact, she told me, ageist biases have gotten worse.
She and her colleagues developed a computerized linguistic program and analyzed a database of more than 400 million words from books, newspapers, magazines, and academic journals going back 200 years. The team looked at adjectives that appeared most frequently with “elderly” and similar words, and at synonyms for “old people.” The language was generally positive until the late 1800s, when life expectancy for white people in America was 41 years. (Researchers at that time did not track life expectancy for other populations.) Since then, old-age-related verbiage has steadily become meaner and more dismissive. For example, the word geezer, which first appeared in 1900, became 11 times more frequent through the twentieth century.
Old people may be the last group our society feels free to mock, Levy says. She points to news reports about cruel jokes early in the COVID pandemic, when people over age 65 were dying at exceptionally high rates and the term “boomer remover” became a widely shared meme on Twitter.
Reading research by scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of aging can make it hard to feel good about growing older. The idea of “curing” aging casts it as pathology. Published studies start, relentlessly, with bad news. “Aging is a degenerative process that leads to tissue dysfunction and death,” begins a typical paper.
“I think by labeling aging as a disease, it ignores the many strengths of aging and the many ways that there can be growth in later life,” Levy says.The future of medicine
The more I learned about the science of longevity, the more excited I felt about the prospects for discoveries that will benefit all of us as we grow older. But as I approached 68, I couldn’t shake off nagging images of the tissue dysfunction and cell death occurring inside me.
Steve Horvath, developer of epigenetic clocks to measure biological age, offered to run one on me—a test with the anxiety-producing name of GrimAge. I sent him two tiny vials of my blood. A few months later I received the results: My biological age was 3.3 years lower than my chronological age.
The report offered a cheerful “congrats” and said, “You are already beating the clock!” Still, I felt let down. I certainly wasn’t in league with some of the longevity scientists I met, like David Sinclair, who exercise religiously, fast, take supplements or off-label drugs, and seem to buck the tempest of time.
Then I thought about my mother, still enjoying life in her late 90s. Becca Levy’s research convinced me that my mom’s outlook at least partly explains her vitality. I’ve never heard her grumble about her birthday or say she can’t do something because she’s too old, a complaint I’m starting to hear from friends my age.
“No,” she says, when I point this out. “I’m not too old. I might do it slower, and I might do less of it. But I’m not too old to dance or walk or do anything I like to do.”
She pauses. “Well, I wouldn’t swim anymore.”
“Because you haven’t done it in a long time?”
“Because I don’t like the way I look in a bathing suit.

Both astronomical bodies are made up of the same elements in different proportions; one supports life, the other does not. A filmmaker follows a man as he searches for clues to understand the father he never knew. Armed with a stack of photographs, a street address and the knowledge that the man's father was an astronaut, the two explore their surrounding environs in order to unravel the mysteries of living on planet earth. ~~ [screenings] • Photometria Festival // Ioannina, Greece // September 22 2021 • Pugnant Film Series // Athens, Greece // February 2020 • Bolton Film Festival // Bolton, UK // September 2019 • Move Cine Arte, Museum of Image and Sound // São Paulo, Brazil // September 2019 • 31st Girona Film Festival ~Experimental Art~ // Girona, Spain // September 2019         -25 September 2019 (Fundació Valvi)         -26 September 2019 (Fundació Valvi)       -27 September 2019 (Fundació Valvi)         -28 September 2019 (Fundació Valvi) • Braziers Mini Indi Film Festival ~OBSERVED ECOLOGIES~ // Oxfordshire, UK // May 2019 • NewFilmmakers NY, Anthology Film Archives // New York City, NY // May 2019 • Santa Cruz International Film Festival // Santa Cruz, Argentina // April 2019 • MicroActs & GUISE Collective curated program ~ANALOGUE FUTURES~ // London, UK // April 2019 • WAV Venice Audio-Visual Show // Venice, Italy // February 1-9 2019 • Sharjah Film Platform - Sharjah Foundation // Sharjah, UAE // January 2019    -21 January 2019 (Al Hamra Cinema)           -23 January 2019 (Africa Hall) • 7th International Video Poetry Festival // Athens, Greece // December 2018 • ULTRAcinema // Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico // November 2018   • Drunken Film Festival // Oakland, CA // October 2018   • Unseen Festival ~Future Light~ // Denver, CO // September 2018 • 20th Moviate Underground Film Festival // Harrisburg, PA // May 2018 • London Greek Film Festival // London, UK // May 2018 • AXW, Anthology Film Archives // New York City, NY // April 2018 • The West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival // Morgantown, WV // April 2018 • Lucca Film Festival e Europa Cinema // Lucca, Italy // April 2018 • IBAFF Festival Internacional de Cine de Murcia // Murcia, Spain // March 2018 • aDifferent Film Festival // Milwaukee, WI // February 2018 ▪︎▫︎ Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market ~~~ ▴ http://www.acinema.space/adifferent-f... ▴ https://ibaff.com/index.php/es/progra...

It seems like Velvette had snuck a child an hellborn imp to be exact into the porn studios penthouse. She was taking care of him as he was at work in his office. When he walked in though, he would see a well groomed Imp girl, whom was eating food at the table along with Velvette. "Oh... Valvie??? You're um... home early...." She hoped she wasn't in trouble for bringing someone here without his permission. But his penthouse was the best place for the possible eight year old. Her house is creepy and full of doll golems that might kill the child. Vox... well he's Vox. So Val's penthouse was her best bet.
